Chapter 1: A Dark Invader! The Dark Wing of Devimon!
Chapter Text
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of it's characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine, it belongs to Akira Toriyama. I also don't own the character known as X, because max acorn created him and I got his permission to use him.
SSJ4T: Hey all! We're now going to start over to the beginning of the Digimon Fusion series. That's right, it's the unleashed saga that I never had the chance to write. This series is sort of a dedication to Toriyama's hit series Dragonball Z, but I've added the characters of digimon to full in their roles. This will be a rewritten series and I hope this will be better than the original stories I wrote.
Tai: So, it's back to the beginning? Any idea what the first saga will be called?
SSJ4T: The Digital Invaders Saga! Weren't you paying attention?
Tai: No.
Max: Don't mind him, dude. This is going to rule.
Takato: Ah, shit! I don't get to be in this one!
Takuya: Yeah! We're left out!
SSJ4T: You two won't even come into the series for a looooooong time. This first series will be based from Digimon 01, the very first season. So, without further ado, enjoy the fic!

All is peaceful and quiet in the outer regions of the Digital World. The beautiful morning skies shine bright over the land and running waters flood the landscape. Digimon began to swarm every available ecosystem available. Nothing seemed to threaten the very existence of this luscious world.
However, that would soon change. A small shuttle came hurtling through the skies as if it were a speeding comet. The digimon looked up to see what it was. They would not realize that a dark being lurked within the pod-like shuttle. It seemed to be in a hurry as if it were a mission.
Elsewhere, a local Scarecrowmon was walking about as he was planting more pumpkin seeds on his field. He looked to grow some more pumpkins for the next harvest. He whistled about as if nothing were going to ruin his precious day. Just then, the shuttle pod came crashing down many yards away. The Scarecrowmon shrieked and jumped away from the sudden impact. He looked forward and pulls out his double barrel.
"What the heck was that? It just landed from the sky?! Is it some sort of digital extra terrestrial? Oh man! I better check this out!"
He scurries off over towards the impact hole which the crash landing created. He looks down over the crater and saw the shuttle pod. His eyes widened in bewilderment.
"That's not meteor. That's for damn sure."
Suddenly, the shuttle pod slowly started to open and a clawed hand came reaching out. Scarecrowmon backed away and readied his double barrel. He felt drips of sweat coming down his face and chills up his spine. The being walked out from the shuttle. He was tall, skinny with some muscular features. His eyes were crimson and his face was pale as snow. He had a pair of torn-like wings on his back. It looked just like the Devimon that once reigned over File Island. However, this one wore a device around his left eye and battle armor around his chest. He looks up and flies out from the crater. He looks around and then lands on the ground. A small growl came from him as he examined the landscape.
"So, the inhabitants of this digital plane are still alive! Damn that, Agumon. You have failed us!"
Scarecrowmon scurried back as he pumped up his double barrel and pointed it over towards Devimon. The evil one walked towards Scarecrowmon with a malicious smirk.
"Get back! You stay back or I'll shoot!"
The device on Devimon began to make a few calculations. It stopped as it read a numerical writing. He smirked and pointed his finger at Scarecrowmon.
"A level 5? Man, what a weak digital plane!"
"You stay away! I've warned you, man! Stay back!"
With that said, Scarecrowmon clicked the trigger and fired two shells at Devimon. The bullets neared Devimon,s head, but the evil one easily caught them with his hands. Scarecrowmon was taken back by this and jumped back in fear. Devimon easily caught two bullets. A normal Devimon would have been shot but this one was different. Devimon flung the two bullets right back at Scarecrowmon. The digimon couldn't react nor scream as one bullet went right through his forehead and the other right through his chest cavity. The body goes flying back as his body was deleted. Devimon turned away with dissatisfaction.
"Bah. This digital plane is full of weaklings. I shouldn't bother."
Again, his device started going off as it quickly picked up another ki reading. He peered over to the right and his face was so full of excitement. He quickly realized that this could be the Agumon that he was looking for.
"There's a life form of great power! It's over at Section 7895! Is that you, Agumon?! Digimon of courage?!"
With that said, Devimon goes flying off towards the far distance with great speed. He began his search for the one digimon he has been searching for. This was the Agumon, who belonged to the Chosen Child of Courage. Devimon was on a mission of some sorts and he looked to complete it by finding Agumon.

Elsewhere within the Digital World, a beautiful blue sky loomed over a lonely horizon. There was a cliff side with a rather ominous figure. The figure turned out to be none other than Leomon. This was the digimon who helped the children defeat Devimon from File Island. He looked towards the horizon and peacefully meditated to himself.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as he felt an upcoming presence heading his direction. He turned to see where the mysterious chi was coming from. He felt a dark presence from this certain chi.
"Whoa! I sense a great and tremendous power! It's coming closer but who is it?! That must be War Greymon and Taichi!"
Leomon peered over towards the far distance to get a better look at the distance. He gasped as he saw Devimon heading his direction. Leomon was seeing a ghost, or so he thought.
"What?! It can't be! It's Devimon! How could he have survived that encounter on File Island? It's impossible!"
Devimon stopped and landed on the cliff. He stood by and confronted the brave beast. A smirk came across Devimon's cryptic face.
"Excuse me, but I was just heading into the neighborhood and I thought I'd ask you a question. I hope that I'm not interrupting you."
"You're excused. You must be a different Devimon. You don't happen to know the one who once terrorized File Island? I'll never forgive him for forcing me to kill the Digi-Destined."
"I'm sorry, but I'm a different one. That Devimon was a weakling."
"Feh. Now be off, demon."
"Oh, you're quite the feisty one."
Devimon merely smirked and pressed the device with a simple poke. He began to get a reading over the device and received a confirmed power level on Leomon.
"Hmph. Your power level is at a mere 322. That's more than I expected from this part of the digital plane. I can definitely see that you're among the most powerful."
"Now see here, demon! You came here to start something! I have no interest in fighting you!"
"Well, I do."
Leomon growled angrily to himself as he balled up his fists. He felt an increasing power ready to be unleashed upon his new enemy. He pulled his fist back and thrusted forwards with incredible force.
"Fist of the Beast King!"
The lion-shaped blast came shooting out towards Devimon and it connected with impact. A large explosion occurred and it seemed to have done Devimon in. Leomon smiled in satisfaction, until he looked ahead. He gasped at what he saw. As soon as the smoke cleared, the landscape was devastated but Devimon stood unscathed.
"He. He. That was a fine display of power, unless that was your real intention."
Leomon looked on with horrible shock as his body started to shake with tremendous fear. He had never seen such a creature take a blast like that and walking out unscathed.
"Now, allow me to show you how it's done. Are you ready? I'm going to show you some real power."
Devimon prepared to deliver a devastating blow to the beast warrior, until his device started going off again. He looked on the reading and picked up a huge power level.
"Another incoming power! It's an even greater one! That must be him!"
With that said, Devimon flew off into the skies to pick up the location of his designated target. Leomon fell to his knees and was shocked over what had just occurred.
"This Devimon is going to pose a problem. The children have to be on the lookout for this guy."

Devimon soared over the skies as memories of Agumon's birth started running through his mind. He was certainly desperate in finding Agumon.
"Have you really lost your sense of pride, Agumon? You were to destroy this portion of the digital world! You weren't meant to be some child's pet! Agumon! You have dishonored our code!"

Meanwhile, on an unknown location within the Digital World, several members of the Digi-Destined were standing by. Among those in waiting were Izzy, Tentomon, Joe and Gomamon.
"Uh, this is boring! When's the fun going to start?" Gomamon asked.
"They should be here any minute," replied Izzy.
"Izzy! I see Mimi and Lillymon!" Tentomon replied.
Lillymon came flying down with Mimi at her side. The cowboy hat-wearing girl jumps off and walks over to her comrades.
"Hi guys! Sorry that we're late," Mimi said.
"No problem. You're already late," said Joe. "We've been waiting!"
"Don't mind me. I was just putting on some makeup before I got here," the girl said.
"Hey, where's Sora?" Izzy asked. "I thought we agreed to stick together ever since we beat Venom Myotismon back home."
"She said that she had to take a walk somewhere, but she'll meet up with us soon," Lillymon replied.
"What about Tai, Kari and TK?" asked Joe. "We just can't wait for everyone to get here."
"They're on their way over," said Mimi. "But my feet are killing."
"Funny, cause we didn't even have to walk over here," Lillymon pointed out.
"As a former princess, I shouldn't be sweating like this. It ruins my image."
"I'm assuming that everything is fine in the digital world," said Izzy. "I don't see anything wrong with it."
"Weird, I kind of figured that something was wrong. We've checked around for hours," Tentomon said.
Just then, War Greymon came dropping by unannounced with Tai on his back. Tai was also accompanied by TK, Patamon, Kari and Gatomon.
"Hey guys! We have arrived!" Tai called out. "What are you guys standing there like a bunch of sad cases?"
"We've been waiting for you! Here you come all unannounced," Izzy cried out.
"Hey. Hey. Take it easy, dude," Tai said as he chuckled to himself.
"So, was that a fun ride," TK asked the girl who was Tai's little sister.
"Yeah. So, wheres Sora," Kari asked.
"She'll meet up with us later," said Tai. "I still can't believe Matt ditched us. I couldn't even find him anywhere."
"I hope he doesn't hate us," TK said. "He must have had a reason for leaving us like that."
"I'm sorry, TK," Patamon said.
"Don't worry. We'll find him eventually," replied Tai. "Don't you sweat it, TK. He's bound to be out there somewhere."
"Once Sora gets here, we'll be heading off to investigate the digital world," said Izzy.
Suddenly, War Greymon looked up towards the skies as he felt a dark chi heading his direction. Soon, the other digimon were able to sense it.
"What is it, War Greymon? What's the matter," Tai asked.
"Something is coming, Tai. Something strong is heading our way," the mega replied.
"A rather powerful one," Patamon said to himself.
"Patamon? Is it really heading our way," TK asked.
"Yes and I don't like the looks of it."
"But I don't see anything," said Kari.
"You can't see it but we can sense it," Gatomon replied.
"What are you guys on? I don't see anything," Mimi said as she looked up.
"Um, that's cause you don't have the sixth sense like we digimon do," Lillymon said.
"No! It's a much, much more powerful chi. It's super strong!" War Greymon thought to himself. "But what could possibly emit such a strong power?"
"Look! I see something above us!" Tai cried out. "It looks like…"
Devimon smirked as he found the children's exact location. He flew down with tremendous speed, which caught the attention of the children's digimon. They stood in defense as Devimon landed. The children looked like they had just seen a ghost. They never thought that they would see another Devimon. TK was the most frightened one of them all, since he had to suffer to watch Angemon disappear after beating Devimon. The first Devimon had tried to kill TK and those plagued the boy's memories since then.
"I'll protect you without dying this time," Patamon said. "I'll never leave you again."
"Thanks, buddy."
Devimon faced off against the children as he gave a stern look over towards War Greymon and Tai. Devimon broke the sudden silence as he spoke.
"Ah, I thought I'd know you. I certainly remember seeing you, Agumon," Devimon said.
"What? How do you know my real name," the mega asked.
"Huh? Who is this," Joe asked. "Do you know this Devimon. He doesn't seem like the one from File Island."
"If you are, then tell us how you came back to life," Tai asked angrily.
"That pitiful weakling is nothing compared to me. I'm on a much different agenda. Now answer my question, Agumon."
"Why me?"
"What the hell have you been doing this whole time? Has something distracted you from completing your mission?"
"My mission?!"
"War Greymon. What is it that he's talking about? Did you have some sort of previous identity and not letting me know before?" Tai asked.
"I'm telling ya. I have no idea what he's talking about."
"Your mission was to exterminate the digimon of this sector! What have you been doing?"
Lillymon was getting bothered by Devimon's words and approaches him with a look of frustration.
"Lillymon! What are you doing," Mimi asked.
"Look, pal. I don't know what you're talking about, but I think that you've been drinking a lot. Scram! Shoo! The last thing that we need is a drunk digimon attempting to threaten us."
War Greymon felt a powerful presence coming from Devimon as a tail came lashing out from behind the demon. He was the first to point out and cried out to his fellow digimon.
"Lillymon! Get the hell away from there! Look out!"
However, it was much too late to even react as Devimon's tail lashed out and struck Lillymon across the face. The force sent Lillymon flying back and she de-digivolved back to Palmon. Mimi ran over to her digimon's fallen side.
"Oh no! Palmon! Are you okay?"
"Hey! What the hell was that for," Tai asked. "She wasn't apart of this! You struck her intentionally!"
"Pardon me, but the lady approached me first."
"You low life," TK exclaimed. "That's all you are!"
"Heh, so now you know who I am," Devimon said.
"Know you? We don't even know who the hell you are," Tai said. "What do you want from Agumon?"
"Impossible. You couldn't have forgotten about me and our mission," said Devimon. "What happened to you, Agumon? Did you take a blow to the head?"
"I don't know what you're talking about! Stop bringing this crap up," War Greymon exclaimed.
"I'm not making it up. You must have suffered brain damage," said Devimon. "Am I right?"
"Okay, I did hit my head once as Koromon but that was a long time ago."
"Damn it! That would explain it!"
"That would explain what?! Tell us!" Tai exclaimed.
"Guys, I think you need to hear this," Tentomon said. "Especially you, War Greymon. I was told that you were found separated from our group before Tai and the others came. You were quite a wild digimon that couldn't be tamed. That is until you fell down a gorge one day. We nursed you back to health and you managed to pull through. Since then, you've been a loyal friend to us and you became a loyal partner to Tai."
"Huh? So that wild Koromon was myself," the mega asked.
"He was."
"War Greymon, you never told me any of this," said Tai.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you, but I still don't know who this creep is. Trust me. I speak the truth."
"I know you wouldn't lie to me about this guy. Theres something about this ass that I don't like," the boy said.
"Take heed warning," Devimon said. "If there is any trace of memories in that thick skull of yours, I will find a way to reveal them."
Everyone stood by as Devimon slowly approached them. They eyed the demon. TK kept his eye on him and wasn't going to let his presence frighten him.
"I'm not scared of you. I'm not going to let you hurt me or my friends."
"We need you back, Agumon! Your people need you back," Devimon said.
"Becareful, War Greymon," Palmon said as she regained her senses. "He's more than your average enemy digimon."
"Yeah. I just noticed. Just seeing him makes my spine tingle. I have no idea why."
"Ha! You want to know why? That's because that you are no normal digimon! You are an elite warrior from another digital plane! You are amongst the most powerful from the Shadow Dimension!"
"Shadow Dimension?!" Tai said in shock.
The entire group were puzzled and shocked by this sudden revelation that Devimon has beared on the children. Agumon was once apart of an elite warrior group sent from the Shadow Dimension. Tai couldn't believe it.
"No. It can't be," Tentomon said.
"I am Neo Devimon. I'm apart of the higher rankings. My experience has made me much more powerful than any Devimon known from this digital plane."
"So you're pretty much an alien to this sector," Izzy said.
"Correct. I didn't just come here to smell the roses."
"You're a liar! You take that back!" Tai exclaimed. "Agumon is much better than you ever hope to be."
"Heh. Heh."
"If Agumon is an alien here, then why was he chosen to be Tai's partner," Mimi asked.
"Yeah, why should we believe you?!" Gatomon asked.
"You maybe sorry that you've asked, but the answer is a pretty simple one. We're a warrior elite. We're pretty much dimensional pirates in a way."
"Pirates? You go and steal other digimon's homelands?" Gomamon asked.
"We locate hospitable digital planes and sell them to other digital life forms for living space. But to make those worlds suitable, we must exterminate those native inhabitants. Think of it as trading other digimon's spaces for other's suitable needs."
"Well, that figures why we haven't heard from anyone outside this digital plane," Tentomon said.
"When an elite warrior is fully grown, he or she is usually assigned to the most difficult places, with the most powerful natives. But warriors, such as ourselves, need years of experience. Then, we will be experienced enough to start depopulating one digital plane."
"If this is true, then these guys make Myotismon look like a freaking joke," Joe said.
"It's quite lucky that this world has a moon, because you would have wiped out everyone within a year, Agumon. You would have dominated if you didn't hit your damn head!"
"Wait a minute," Tai replied. "What does the moon have to do with anything?"
"Are that damn retarded?! Looks like I'll have to explain this to you as well. Only when a moon is full will you be able to tap into your full potential powers!"
"I have no idea what you're talking. You've been spewing nothing but crap!" War Greymon said.
Devimon gasped as he looked over towards War Greymon as if he were about to have a heart attack. The demon's eyes widened and he quickly clenched his fists.
"Where the hell is your tail?! By the way, I don't mean your real tail, but your battle tail? Tell me what happened to it?"
"It was removed before I met with Tai," War Greymon replied. "it was getting on my nerves. Having a tail like that became a great pain in the ass."
"No wonder you've become so soft in this comfortable world!" Devimon exclaimed. "You're dishonoring our code and making yourself one of them! You've turned into a human-loving softy!"
"Shut up! I don't care what you say I am," War Greymon exclaimed. "You're not going to tell me who I really am! I'm Tai's digimon partner and I'm proud to have such a friend."
"Yeah! So do us a favor and get the hell away from here," Tai said.
"Yes! Just go and leave us alone," Mimi said.
"You tell him," Izzy said. "Like they say, 'nurture over nature'! Unfortunately, this creep doesn't understand that."
"We even saved this world and our world from three other creeps," said TK. "We'll beat even you!"
"That's right!" Kari cried.
"Heh. Seriously, how do you expect me to take you all seriously? Here's the deal. We are among the last of the elite," Devimon stated. "We survived because we were on other digital worlds and continued exterminating their natives. What you call 'wrong' is what insured our survival from enemy attacks. We remaining three have recently found a digital world which we know can be sold at a very high price. The locals are very strong and the three of us will have some trouble. But just think, the four of us should do enough to finish the job. Thank the digital gods that I've remembered you. You, Agumon, should be enough to tip the scales. So, what do you say? I've come back to take you to the fold."
TK and Kari stood by the other children's sides as their digimon stood by to protect them. War Greymon turned to face Devimon as he gave him a simple answer to his offer.
"You can go screw yourself," War Greymon said with venom in his voice.
"You know his answer! It's a hell no!" Tai exclaimed.
"How sad, but this has become quite interesting," said Devimon. "But do tell me something. Are those two little brats yours, boy?"
Tai's blood chilled as he saw Devimon making eye contact with Kari and TK. His own sister was now becoming a prime target for the demon digimon.
"No! You stay the hell away from my sister and TK, asshole!"
"We've got you're back!" Patamon said.
"Don't you even come near them or I'll rip your heart out," Gatomon hissed.
"Oh is that so?" Devimon said. "I suppose that you happen to be one of those chosen children? I can tell by looking at those two weakling digimon."
"You leave them alone!" War Greymon growled angrily.
"Sorry, it can't be done," said Devimon. "If you won't deign to help me, then I'll just have to borrow those two brats."
Devimon walked over towards the group as Tai and War Greymon stood by protectively. TK and Kari looked on with frightened looks, but Patamon and Gatomon stood by their sides.
"You makde one more step and we'll kill you!" War Greymon cried out.
"Get him, War Greymon!"
"Terra-"
Devimon quickly phased out as War Greymon was caught by surprise. The mega looked ahead and was given a devastating knee to the gut. War Greymon was sent flying back. Tai ran over towards Devimon with his fists tightened.
"That was a cheap shot, ass!"
Devimon turned and he delivered a clothesline, which nearly decapitated the boy. Kari cried out as she witnessed her own brother nearly turned inside out. Both were now on the ground and writhed in tremendous pain.
"Tai!" the children cried out.
"That was not fair!" Izzy exclaimed.
"No, he moved too fast. He took out a mega easily," Tentomon said. "But that's not possible…"
"Tai!" Kari cried out.
"Kari! Look out!" Gatomon exclaimed.
"Oh no you don't!" Devimon said.
The demon grabbed both TK and Kari. Gatomon jumped up and was preparing to digivolve but Devimon brought her down with an elbow shot. Patamon attempted to attack, but was taken down by Devimon's wing.
"Let us go!" TK cried out. "Patamon!"
"Big brother! Help!"
"If you wish them to be returned to you, boy, then you must follow my orders," Devimon said.
"I can't believe it," Mimi said.
"He beat War Greymon with one kick!" Palmon replied.
"I'll give you one digital cycle, which is one earth day, to make a decision," Devimon stated. "If you decide to join us, then you can find me with your instincts. You'll know where I'll be waiting. If you don't do so, I'll kill these two brats. Trust me, I have plenty of experience when it comes to slitting children's throats."
These words alone were enough to make the children's stomachs wrench and enough to boil the blood that was running through Tai and War Greymon. It was all up to War Greymon's simple decision.
Unaware of what was taking place, the group, including Devimon, were watched upon by a mysterious masked man. The masked man looked on over towards Tai and War Greymon. Thoughts were now running through his mind.
"There they are, but it looks like they'll be needing a lot of training."
We find out about War Greymon's past and it's been revealed that he was sent to the digital world to destroy it. Unfortunately, it didn't go as planned and this has angered Devimon. With TK and Kari captured, will War Greymon and Tai recover to stop the demon's cold-blooded tactics? And who is this masked man who speaks of our two courageous heroes?

"Tai!" Kari cried out.
"Kari! Look out!" Gatomon exclaimed.
"Oh no you don't!" Devimon said.
The demon grabbed both TK and Kari. Gatomon jumped up and was preparing to digivolve but Devimon brought her down with an elbow shot. Patamon attempted to attack, but was taken down by Devimon's wing.
"Let us go!" TK cried out. "Patamon!"
"Big brother! Help!"
"If you wish them to be returned to you, boy, then you must follow my orders," Devimon said.
"I can't believe it," Mimi said.
"He beat War Greymon with one kick!" Palmon replied.
"I'll give you one digital cycle, which is one earth day, to make a decision," Devimon stated. "If you decide to join us, then you can find me with your instincts. You'll know where I'll be waiting. If you don't do so, I'll kill these two brats. Trust me, I have plenty of experience when it comes to slitting children's throats."
These words alone were enough to make the children's stomachs wrench and enough to boil the blood that was running through Tai and War Greymon. It was all up to War Greymon's simple decision.
"You got that, Agumon? You and that boy can find me using your ability to detect chi. You'll be able to find me. I'm looking forward to this. This should be quite a treat! I'll see you later and I hope you'll make the right decision. Farewell, Agumon!"
Devimon flies up with both children at his sides. They attempted to struggle from the demon's grasps, but he held them tightly in his possession. He planned to take them hostage in order to drive out the inner anger within War Greymon. This was his last chance to force War Greymon to reconsider to his deal. It was War Greymon having to join forces with the new enemy or the death of the two Digi-Destined children. The demon goes flying off into the distance. Tai and War Greymon looked on in horror as they called out to the children.
"Please. Don't try to make the mistake by attempting to fight me. You've just seen the results. even if you had the power to challenge me, you haven't got the fraction of the necessary training which I've acquired."
"Tai! Help us!" Kari cried out.
"Don't let him take us away!" TK shouted in anguish.
"Kari! TK! No! Bring them back, asshole!" Tai cried out.
"Tai. We have to follow him," War Greymon replied. "We can't allow him to kill TK and Kari. I'd rather die than join that coward."
Meanwhile, in the distance, Leomon was looking on with primal instincts. he had seen the entire Devimon confrontation and managed to hear to what the demon had to say to the children, especially towards War Greymon. He suppressed his chi, in order to cloak himself from being spotted by the children's digimon.
Tai sits up as he slammed his fists to the ground. War Greymon slowly managed to get up onto his feet. Tai got up and tightened his fists. He couldn't believe that he allowed such a creep to have kidnapped his own sister and a friend's brother.
"Matt. If only you were here, we would have creamed this punk! Damn it! You can't do this, Devimon! You can't!"
The other Digi-Destined ran over to Tai as they began to try to restrain their leader from beating himself to a pulp.
"Tai! Tai! Are you okay?" Mimi asked. "Don't beat youself up."
"You know that you have a responsibility to save them," Palmon replied.
"We're sorry that we couldn't help. We wouldn't have stand a chance against him," Gomamon said. "He'd smash our brains in."
"War Greymon! I've had it with this guy! We're heading out!"
"Agreed, Tai. Let's go."
"Tai! Are you crazy?! He nearly killed you and War Greymon! Don't start going thick-headed without thinking reason!" Izzy exclaimed. "You don't know what you're up against!"
"He seems to be in another world now, Izzy," Tentomon said. "Quite frankly, I wouldn't provoke him."
"Besides you're in no condition to fight," said Joe. "You two need to sit down."
"But we've got to do something," Tai replied angrily.
"Then lets think," said Gatomon.
"Yeah. I'm sure TK and Kari will be fine. They're very resourceful kids," Patamon stated.
"Man. What a jerk," Mimi said. "How could he have done just a cowardly thing? He goes and kidnaps two children. I know he's very been very giving."
"No kidding, Mimi. He's a Devimon. He has no heart," said Palmon.
"I don't give a damn who he is!" the goggle boy said. "I'll never forgive him for this."
"So, what now? He's probably long miles away from where we currently stand," Joe replied. "We would be signing our own death warrants if we go over there and stop him. War Greymon couldn't even touch him."
"Don't be so over dramatic, Joe," Gomamon said.
"He's right. I've never fought anybody that strong," the mega replied. "I couldn't even see his movements."
"Wait a second! He mentioned something about the tail! The tail! War Greymon, did you remember seeing that tail on that creep?"
"Tai. That's it! Devimon's naturally don't any a tail, but this one had one. If we attempted to remove it, it could cause his energy to deplete. We'll get him where he least suspects it."
"Good plan, Tai! I never thought you would end up having a good idea," said Tentomon.
"Affirmative," said Izzy. "Looks like we'll be giving you a hand then."
"No way. There's no way I'm putting your lives at risk," Tai replied. "This is a battle that War Greymon and myself must take part in alone. I know that we'll get our asses kicked but it's better than to have that creep kill my sister and TK."
"Tai. Just listen to yourself, you will need help. Whether you like it or not, we're coming along," said Gatomon. "Besides, Kari is out there and I can't sit around and not do a thing about it."
"I agree. Remember when you said that there was no I in team," Patamon stated. "Do you remember?"
"Yeah, but you saw what happened. He'll slaughter you guys," said Tai. "Patamon, you've nearly disappeared and TK couldn't bear to stand to see you get killed."
"I'll do everything in my will to protect TK. Even if it costs my very own life."
"The same goes for Kari."
"But, you guys.." the leader stuttered.
"What do you think, Tai?" War Greymon asked. "We better make a decision quickly or else Devimon flees off to a far off location."
Tai began to rethink his plans and looks over to the two digimon. He had to bring Gatomon and Patamon, since it was their partners who were kidnapped in the first place. The leader then looks toward War Greymon and snaps his fingers. He now had an idea of what he was planning to do next.
"You got an idea, Tai? What did you come up with?"
"Izzy. You guys stay here and wait for Sora. You let her know about everything. I don't expect Matt to be coming back for a long time, so don't worry about him. Patamon. Gatomon. You two are coming with me. You might serve as a distraction while we take advantage over the situation."
"Oh, so we're decoys?" Gatomon asked. "We'll do our best, Tai."
"You can count on us."
"It's settled then. We're off to save Kari and TK! We just might have a chance of winning this."
Just then, a voice bellowed out from behind the brushes as the entire group turned to face the source of the voice.
"You don't have a chance in hell."
Leomon came walking out from the brushes and he went up towards the Digi-Destined children. They were glad to see their old comrade from File Island.
"Leomon! Cool! You're back! So were you here the whole time?" Tai asked.
"Yes. That creature is far stronger than you think. War Greymon and the little ones alone won't be enough to stop him. In order to even the odds, you're going to need my help."
"But what makes you so sure," Mimi asked. "War Greymon is a mega and that Devimon easily cold-clocked him."
"I know because I fought him before he confronted you. I used my best attack, but it wasn't enough. Tai, you will need my help. I might not do much, but I'll help even the odds."
"With a power we're facing, we'll definitely need your help," said War Greymon.
"Just a question, Leomon," Tai asked. "Did you Sora and Biyomon coming by?"
"Yes. I did see them coming their way over here."
"And Matt?"
"You mean the boy with the Gabumon? I have seen no signs of him. I'm sorry."
"Poor TK," Patamon replied. "That's it! Let's get going you guys! TK and Kari need our help."
"Theres no time to waste," Tai said. "Izzy, you know what to do."
"I've got everything covered. We'll let Sora know about your whereabouts. We'll be meeting with you later. Good luck."
"Thanks. War Greymon! We're heading off!"
"It's about time."
Tai jumps onto the mega's back and clenched on to prevent himself from flying off. Patamon and Gatomon managed to grip onto Tai's back. War Greymon quickly flew up and soared through the skies. Leomon runs off following the mega's flight by foot.
"Wow! Since when did Leomon achieve such speed," Patamon asked.
"It must be an instinct. Either that, or he must have trained himself while we were in the real world," War Greymon stated.
"Can you pick up the energy signal of Devimon," Gatomon asked. "I can't even pick up anything."
"Yes. It's faint but I can sense it. He's definitely at a far distance."
"Alright. You just keep up with your senses," Tai said. "Too bad you digimon got that sixth sense."
The mega soars through the skies while leaving a trail of chi energy. Leomon wasn't too far behind from following War Greymon. His speed had greatly increased and he was showing no signs of sudden fatigue.
"If I keep up at this rate, I'll be able to catch up."
"Leomon. This is War Greymon. We're going to head on over to the left. Remember to catch up with us."
"Yes. You just lead the direction."

Meanwhile, back over at the landing area, Devimon was inside the crater as he dropped the two kids. TK and Kari looked up at the demon with terrified looks.
"Don't let him scare you, Kari. I'll make sure to protect you."
"I hate him, TK! He kidnapped us and he hurt my brother!"
"My, what a shame. I should have destroyed that damn traitor Agumon when I had the chance. That boy got in my way."
"That boy is going to come back with War Greymon. They're going to make you sorry. I'm sure Gatomon and Patamon are coming as well. They can digivolve and they will punish you."
"Is that so, boy? So, are you really willing to protect this girl despite not having any power or digimon to aid you?"
"Yes. You don't scare me one bit. I've faced a Devimon before and I'm not going to let another one scare me again."
"How charming, a little prince standing up to protect his princess? I find this quite amusing. Are you humans always this naïve? I think you've just proved that to me."
"We're not naïve. Tai and War Greymon are coming, mark my words."
"I really hope that they do. I want to see if Agumon is smart enough to join my elite."
"He'd rather die than join ruthless thugs like you," Kari said. "He's twice the digimon that you are."
"Ha. We'll see about that. He's a warrior. He'll make the right decision."
xxxxx
Elsewhere, War Greymon and Leomon were drawing nearer to the exact location of Neo Devimon's whereabouts. The mega was picking up an energy signal, which indicated that the enemy was closer than previously thought.
"Alright, we're going to start lowering. I'm sure that we're getting closer."
"Ok. You two better hang on tight!"
"Just don't go puking on my porky," Gatomon teased.
"I'm not a pig!"
"Remember, he carries that device around his eye. He'll easily trace our energy signals."
"You're right, Leomon. I almost completely forgot about it. He'll definitely know about our whereabouts."
"Alright, I just remember that he had that device. If suspicions tell me correctly, it would easily trace a digimon's position. In that case, we better hit this bastard head on!"
xxxxx
Devimon looked through his device and picked up several new power readings heading for his current position. He looked up to the skies in shock. TK and Kari turned to see what the invader was looking at.
"There's a new reading coming quickly to this area! Theres one, wait! No, there's two of them! I bet that boy is with them. The powers are at 322 and 334. One of them has to be War Greymon, without a doubt. But how dare he attempt to challenge me?! Doesn't he realize that he stands no chance?"
"Yeah! Tai and the others are coming," TK exclaimed. "You're in for it, Devimon."
"I knew he would come," said Kari. "Now you're going to pay."
"No! It is him!"
Devimon's eyes widened as he looked through the skies to see War Greymon heading for his exact position. He also turned his attention to sudden footsteps from a far distance to find none other than Leomon.
"They're both here?! It's that Leomon again!"
War Greymon lands on the ground and stood next to Leomon. The two warrior digimon stood their ground as they faced off against their new common enemy. Tai jumped off of the mega's shielded back with Patamon and Gatomon.
"Do you guys see TK or Kari anywhere," Tai asked.
"I can smell them," Gatomon replied. "But I'm not too sure."
"Well! I see you guys have found me," said Devimon. "You managed to work together to stop me?"
"Doesn't really matter, now does it?" War Greymon said.
"Alright, lets try out another question. Why did you decide to find me?"
"Don't play us like we're idiots," Tai exclaimed. "Give back my sister and TK! They did no wrong to you!"
"So, War Greymon, have you decided to join our elite?"
"I made a decision. You can take that offer and shove it."
"Now meet our demands! Give us back TK and Kari," Tai repeated himself.
"Damn. I really expected better from you, Agumon," Devimon replied. "How can you be such a fool! Surely you two don't really think you even stand a chance against me?"
"Devimon. You talk too damn much," said Leomon.
The beast warrior unstrapped his sword and threw it to the side. The sword landed on the ground and left an imprint around it. Everyone looked on with surprise.
"So, you were armored?" War Greymon asked.
"Yeah. You should be too," the beast warrior replied. "Now, I feel much better. I knew that sword was much too heavy."
"Uh! That Leomon's power just jumped up to 408," Devimon said. "Unbelievable!"
"Well. Looks like I'll be removing my armor as well," War Greymon said.
"Don't tell me that you were fighting in heavy armor," Tai said. "You should at least fight better without your arm gauntlets."
The mega proceeded to remove his arm gauntlets and the armor covering his shins. He had never felt much better than he already has. War Greymon pops his neck and stretches his entire body.
"And now Agumon just went up to 416!"
Devimon stared down his new opposition with sheer delight. The demon started laughing out loud, which didn't suite well for the warriors. Tai, Gatomon and Patamon stood at the sidelines to watch the battle soon unfold.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! You think this makes a difference?! Even if you removed your entire clothing to reduce your weight, you still wouldn't have any hopes of defeating me! Your such sad cases!"
"If you think power is everything, then you're no fighter," War Greymon said. "Even you should know with all of your experience."
"Yes. But there's also no place for idiocy in our elite. You are a traitor to our team! As a result, you and the damn children will die!"
War Greymon and Leomon got into fighting positions before they made their move towards Devimon. Tai cheered on from the sidelines.
"Go, War Greymon! You guys can do it!"
As soon as the duo went for their first assault, Devimon flew eight at them and quickly phased out from sight. This caught the duo completely by surprise. War Greymon turned around and saw what he thought was not possible. Devimon appeared behind the duo and delivered two elbow smashes to their exposed backs. War greymon and Leomon reacted to the hits and they jumped backwards. They landed on their feet and prepared themselves for the worst. They couldn't believe that Devimon had caught them off guard with tremendous speed.
"Hes too fast!" War Greymon exclaimed. "I didn't even have time to react."
"He charged right at us from the forefront, but he was able to strike our backs?" Leomon questioned the demon's motives.
"I'll say this, you're defenses are not that bad. I commend you," Devimon said.
"Man! This is freaking crap!" Tai cried out. "I didn't even see that ass move!"
"That should keep you alive for the next few minutes, because I plan on attacking with my full power on my next turn," said Devimon.
"Since when did he show this display of power?!"Leomon said in thought.
"It has to be his tail. Devimons naturally have no tails. That must be his weak point," War Greymon thought.
"Before you still think you have high hopes on emerging victorious, you should know that there are two other elite warriors. My two partners and they are both superior in strength."
The duo looked on with horrified looks at the thought of stronger enemies than Neo Devimon. If this monster was able to take them down, then what were their chances against the two other warriors? Slim to none. Absolutely no chance in hell. This was it. The end of the digital world.
"No! That can't be!" Tai exclaimed. "That's just not possible!"
"I can't believe it," Gatomon replied.
"They're even stronger than Devimon?" Patamon pondered.
"Ha! Ha! What's the matter you two?!" Devimon taunted to duo. "I thought I would get much better sport than this! Despair has managed to overcome your confidence?"
"So if we beat you, we still have your two buddies to tangle with," Leomon said.
"You know I could have waited to hear that," War Greymon replied.
"So, does it thrill you?"
"Thrilled wouldn't be the perfect choice of wording," Devimon said. "I'd say that Agumon just crapped in his pants."
"I don't care if we end up getting our asses handed to him, we're still taking back TK and Kari. Even if it kills us," Tai exclaimed. "Where did you hide them?!"
"Hide? They're down in that crater behind me. They were getting annoying, so I left them there. They're alive for now."
"War Greymon, go and check it out."
"You got it, Tai."
War Greymon levitated up into the skies above as he looked down at the crater. He saw a girl and a boy waving over to him. War Greymon nodded and called out to his human partner.
"They're safe, Tai! We'll get them as soon as we beat this guy."
"Oh. Thank god."
"Ha! That's if you two idiots beat me! I don't think those brats would want a corpse to save them."
"That's enough out of you!" War Greymon growled as he flew down at the villain.
"Come and get some coward!" Leomon shouted.
The duo charged at Devimon with relentless force, which didn't seem to bother Devimon a single bit. There was not a trace of worry on the demon's face. The duo came right at Devimon and started their relentless attacks. Devimon easily blocked out their rapid punches. The duo was unsuccessful in attempting to catch Devimon off guard. They were hitting nothing but thin air.
Devimon reappears in front of the duo with his back turned against them. They came charging at Devimon with their fists ready to make contact. Devimon smirks as he ducks under and delivers a double mule kick to their faces. Devimon flies right off, but the duo jumped right back and came flying after him. They were then tricked as Devimon fell up above them. Devimon was levitating in the skies as the duo came flying up desperately. Suddenly, Devimon brought his arms down and unleashed a double beam attack. War Greymon managed to dodge within seconds, but Leomon had an unfortunate fate. His left arm got caught by a beam. War Greymon looked on as the other blast penetrated the ground below. An explosion occurred after the blast made impact with the ground. The other blast easily leveled a small mountain.
War Greymon lands back on the ground, but felt a presence appear from behind. He turns around as Devimon delivered a kick to the mega's chest. War Greymon was sent sailing backwards through the dirt.
"No! War Greymon!" the gogglehead cried out.
"Well, do you believe me now," Devimon asked.
"Damn you. Leomon, are you okay?"
"Yeah, but my left arm is broken. I can't even move it. That blast severely injured it."
War Greymon made it up onto his feet before he was met with laughter from Devimon.
"Next time, it will be you head!"
"So, War Greymon, do you have a new technique? After all, you recently reached the mega level."
"Yeah. I got one, but I don't think it will be enough. But there's always high hopes."
"Heh. Then lets see it. Anything is better than having to listen to that ridiculous laughter."
The battle has started! Devimon has proven to be a more formidable foe than previously thought. Will they be able to pull it through and allow Tai to save his sister and TK? One can only hope.

(Preview)
Tai: It's going to be one big rumble! Wait till you see how Devimon will handle a Terra Force and a newly developed technique which Leomon has been working on. It maybe an improvement from the Fist of the Beast King.
Devimon: Don't tell me that is all you got!
TK: I've seen enough!
Kari: We're not afraid of standing up to you!
Devimon: What?! An Angemon?! But how?! Those two brats have a Patamon that can digivolve?!
War Greymon: We'll pull it through. You can bet your bottom dollar on that.
Gatomon: Next time on Digimon Fusion, episode three!
The Angel of Hope, Angemon Returns!
Patamon: Don't miss it! Now it's my time to shine!

SSJ4T: Well, we're done with episode two and we already got a big battle.
Tai: So, what ya think Goku?
Goku: Good for a DBZ ripoff.
Gohan: At least, you didn't have any references to the name of the Saiya-jins.
SSJ4T: You guys are mistaken. It's a dedication to DBZ using the heart and soul of the digimon characters. It's no crossover.
Takato: It works with me. Bring on the next chapter! Bring on the beer!
Max: Um, we're fresh out.
Guys: Aw crap!
Tai: Takuya, go fetch us some beer.
Takuya: But I can't without an ID.
Takato: Use mine. Don't worry, just say that you got a haircut.
Takuya: Fine, but you guys owe me.
Max: Hey, you didn't lose that Yu-Gi-Oh duel for nothing. Next time, the loser will buy us another pack of beer.
Takuya: Man, I gotta bag me those Egyptian God cards.
Goku: Um, so how do you play Yu-Gi-Oh? I've just began to have interest in it.
Gohan: Oh, dad. I can't believe you.
SSJ4T: Don't worry, Goku. We'll start with the basics. By the way, Kenshin will be here next time! Yes, we will have Battosai the Manslayer since Vash the Stampede was on last time. So, peace out!
Meanwhile, Takuya manages to buy the three Egyptian God cards instead of the beer.
Takuya: Ha! Ha! Now it's payback time!
Note: I'm no fan or consumer of beer, but I just had to add that in for kicks.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of it's characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine, it belongs to Akira Toriyama. I also don't own the character known as X, because max acorn created him and I got his permission to use him.
SSJ4T: Hey all! We just got our asses handed to us by Takuya's Egyptian God cards. Man, you used all that money to get those. Smart.
Takuya: Who's the man, now?!
Tai: I never knew when the kid would have pulled an ace out of his sleeve.
Takato: Tell me about it. Looks like we'll need Yugi to beat this guy.
Takuya: Uh-uh! Nobody beats me! Who's the man now?!
Kenshin: Hey! Is there enough room for a guest?
SSJ4T: Battosai! Or would you rather be called Kenshin?
Kenshin: Kenshin, because I've sworn never to kill again. So, I hear there's this fic series known as Digimon Fusion. Since Goku and Gohan checked it the last chapter, let me check this one out.
SSJ4T: Yeah! Yeah! Theres plenty of room.
Kenshin: What the hell is wrong with him?
Max: Takuya? Don't mind him. He's just savoring his victory for now. Luckily I was able to pick up a card of my own. It's enough to even wipe the floor with the three god cards. So, get ready to get your ass whooped, Takuya.
Takuya: Bring it on! I can go on all day!
SSJ4T: While these children get their Yu-Gi-Oh competition out of the way, enjoy the fic!

"So, War Greymon, do you have a new technique? After all, you recently reached the mega level."
"Yeah. I got one, but I don't think it will be enough. But there's always high hopes."
"Heh. Then lets see it. Anything is better than having to listen to that ridiculous laughter."
Devimon looked on to the duo as he continued laughing towards their attempts. He soon stopped as he began tp speak over them.
"So, are we making secret plans, my friends? Well, if thats the way you want to waste the last minutes of your lives, then go right ahead! You bunch of sad saps!"
War Greymon walked over to Leomon as he began to speak towards his ear, in order to prevent himself from being heard by Devimon. Leomon listened to the mega.
"So, you've got a new technique?"
"To be honest. It's a new variation of my usual finishing technique."
"Since my limb is shattered, it's going to be very difficult to concentrate. It will be time consuming."
"So, what do I do?"
"You need to keep him occupied for the time being."
"You better be damn sure that this is going to work."
"It will. Just trust me on this one, War Greymon. Besides I've been inching to experiment this new variation for quite a while. I sure hope it pays off."
"You're just in luck, my friend. We've got a target right in front of us. So you won't be disappointed after all."
"Yeah. We just better make it count or else we're screwed."
The duo began laughing to themselves, which caught Devimon's attention. The dark invader was taken back by their sudden laughter as if they had lost their minds completely. He couldn't believe that two adversaries were enjoying themselves in a situation such as this.
"They're laughing? Has insanity overtaken them?"
"Alright, Leomon! Do what you have to do! I'll keep distracted!"
"Good luck, War Greymon."
Tai, Gatomon and Patamon looked on from the sidelines. The boy crossed his finger and showed his support for his digimon. The rookies stood firm as they watched the next phase of the battle unfold.
War Greymon shoots off from the ground and flew right towards where Devimon stood. Leomon prepared for his new technique and powered up with energy. War Greymon came right at Devimon and started hammering away at the invader. However, Devimon was first to see this and began to slap away War Greymon's fists of fury. Leomon's body strained as more chi started to collect. Devimon took advantage of the mega and slams him to the ground. Devimon follows it by kicking War Greymon away. War Greymon goes sailing back as Devimon starts coming towards him for another assault. War Greymon springs up and manages to soar up towards the air. Devimon stopped to look up towards his adversary. The mega cups his hands over his head and began to collect a wave of orange energy. The energy collects at the palm of his hands. He calls out for his ultimate technique.
"Terra..."
Devimon's device went off as it picked up a new power level from War Greymon's sudden power up.
"It can't be! His power level went straight up to 924! Damn! It's still increasing! Somehow, he can focus all of his energy into a single point!"
Just then, Devimon picked up another strong power signal from the opposite direction. His device went off and he looked towards his left to find Leomon powering up his new technique. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the display of the new power level. It was far stronger than from War Greymon's power up.
"What?! Leomon's power just jumped up towards 1020! No, it's now 1030! This is unbelievable!"
"FORCE!"
War Greymon hurls the orange sphere down towards Devimon. The invader looked on and managed to jump away from the energy sphere. War Greymon managed to curve-ball the sphere and sent it flying towards Devimon, as if it were a homing missile. Devimon managed to place out his hands and watched as the sphere was coming closer. As the sphere was caught by his hands, it exploded and caught Devimon in the explosion. War Greymon looked on and hoped that he had done the invader in. However, that all changed as the smoke was clearing away. War Greymon's eyes widened as Devimon stood unscathed with his arm stretched out.
"Ugh! He cancelled it out! My Terra Force was caught and dispatched!"
"Damn! This guy sure isn't normal! Man, what a tough break!" Tai cried out. "C'mon, War Greymon! Hang in there!"
"Ah! Agumon! Let me show you how it's done!" the invader called out.
Devimon raised his hand up and powered up an energy blast. He then throws the blast towards War Greymon. The blast caught War Greymon and he was sent flying down with massive damage to his body. He landed with a thud and was left laying unconscious. Deimon lands right down and picks up War Greymon by his neck.
"Now, say goodbye!"
Leomon finally completed his power up and formed a wave of energy around his fingers. He looks over to Devimon and makes his primary target. Phase one of the plan was completed. Now it was onto phase two.
"Looks like someone is going to die today."
Devimon's device started going off as he looks towards Leomon's position. He gasped and read the new power level reading from Leomon. He couldn't believe his very own eyes and could hardly believe that such a low-class digimon warrior was capable of producing such a high powered technique.
"A power at 1330! Thats impossible! There shouldn't be any digimon to produce a power that high in this sector! And the worst part is that it's all focused into his finger tips?! How?! How did they do it?!"
"Tai! Look!" Gatomon said. "It's Leomon!"
"I never felt such a power!" Patamon. "He's only a champion, yet he's able to produce a mega-level technique!"
"Now! Eat this, demon! Lion's Wrath!"
Leomon points his finger tips towards Devimon and shoots out a long, spiral-like blast which was shaped like that of a lion's face. Devimon's eyes widened as the blast came hurtling towards him at a rapid pace. War Greymon couldn't believe what he saw and barely was able to keep up with the speed of the blast. Devimon cried out as the blast connected with him head-on. A huge explosion occurs and a bright light flashed over the battlegrounds. War Greymon and Leomon shielded themselves from the massive debris that was being collected from their surroundings. Tai jumps away while holding down Patamon and Gatomon.
"Damn! He should have warned us before doing that!" Tai exclaimed.
"What a powerful attack!" Gatomon cried out. "I just hope that did that jerk in!"
The dust slowly started to clear away and Leomon looked on desperately to see if his victim had been done in. To everyone's dismay, Devimon was still standing, but he wasn't as unscathed as the last time. His right shoulder armor pad was broken off with a minor injury on his shoulder. However, there was a major devastation from behind the demon. A tall mountain once stood, but the blast easily demolished it to the ground. Leomon couldn't believe how quickly his adversary was able to maneuver away from such an attack.
"He...He dodged it! But there's no one that could move so quickly! He's no ordinary digimon!"
"Ha! My, my! It went right through my armor. That was quite a technique. Imagine if that would have hit me. I would have been finished off for sure."
"That was my last hope."
"Luckily, your aim was a little off. Now, there was a little trick I was going to show you. Remember, the one I was going to use on you before I left?"
"Damn! This is the end of me for sure."
"Now, hold still. This will only take a moment."
With that said, Devimon raised his arm and started collecting energy to form his next technique. Leomon stood in defense as Devimon powered up to form a blast that would finish off the brave warrior beast. Tai and the others looked on with horror. Devimon cried out as he was set to throw the blast at Leomon. But just as he was about to unleash it, Devimon froze stiff at the last moment. His eyes widened as his body was stiff and it disabled him from moving.
"What?! My body is stiff! What could have..."
Everyone looked on and were quite relieved that Devimon's attack was halted. Devimon turned around to see War Greymon taking a grasp at Devimon's battle tail.
"Ha! You got too careless, Devimon! Look what I got here! Your battle tail!"
"But how did you know?!"
"Tai kind of figured that it would have been your weakness and I've just taken advantage of this situation. Looks like it really payed off."
"Whew! I knew it would work! That was just a lucky guess on my part!" Tai replied.
"Yeah, you're pretty lucky at guessing," Gatomon said.
Devimon fell to his knees as his body stiffened more and he felt his power decreasing rapidly. War Greymon held an even tighter grip, in order to stun the demon for quite a while. He looks over and calls out towards Leomon.
"Leomon! Hurry up and do that technique again! Hurry! I've got him down!"
"Right! This time I won't miss! You keep him tight! Don't let go of that tail! I can only do this once more!"
"Looks like we might actually win this, Gato!"
"I think you're right, porky! That prediction on Tai's part really came off really well."
"Gato. What did I tell you about that 'porky' name? I'm not a pig!"
Devimon seethed as he looked up towards War Greymon and began to cry out for mercy. War Greymon tightened the grip even more.
"Agumon! Surely, you won't go through with this?! You wouldn't dare kill me?! I'm an elite!"
"I don't care who you are! You don't go and try to kill us! You tried to force me to join your blood-thirsty group and you nearly killed Tai! But the lowest act you've ever committed was kidnapping both TK and Kari! You don't deserve to call yourself an elite warrior. You're a damn coward! You don't deserve a second chance!"
"Please! I beg of you! If you let go of me, I promise to leave this digital plane! I promise never to hunt you down again. I'll never kill another living creature again! Please, let me go and I'll change my ways!"
"War Greymon! Don't listen to that scumbag!" Tai cried out. "He's deceiving!"
"Hell! I'll even tell the others that you won't join our cause!"
"No! Close your thoughts, War Greymon!" Leomon cried out. "He is deceiving you! Whatever he says, don't let go of that grip!"
"Please! Just let me go and I'll leave this world. You'll never see me again!"
"Bite me!" War Greymon exclaimed.
"Have it your way then, my friend," Devimon muttered as he looked up and blinded War Greymon's eyes with a flash.
"No! War Greymon!"
War Greymon was now momentarily disabled and this allowed Devimon to take a huge advantage. Devimon delivers an elbow shot to War Greymon's chin as the mega went flying backwards. War Greymon lands on the ground with many multiple injuries.
"No! That jerk cheated! War Greymon! Please, get up! You can't lose!" Tai cried out. "Get up! Don't stop!"
Devimon flies right down on War Greymon and smashes his foot down onto War Greymon's exposed abdomen. The mega cries out as he heard his ribs slowly being crushed by the sheer weight of Devimon's foot. Devimon smirked as he eyed the others.
"That was cheap! He was offguard!" Leomon muttered.
"What a treat! I knew that you would fall for such a trick. You should have known that devil men such as myself were capable of pulling off such underhanded tactics. You were clearly a victim. How could I have thought of you as such a warrior? A warrior should never hesitate to kill. You were far too slow to complete such a task. So, you care to see a demonstration?"
With that said, Devimon started laughing maliciously as he pressed his foot deeper into War Greymon's abdomen. Everyone cringed as War Greymon's ribs were being smashed. Tai attempted to save his partner but was held back by Patamon and Gatomon.
"Let me go! I ahve to save him! That bastard is going to kill him!"
"You'll just end up giving your own life away! Devimon won't hesitate to kill you!" Gatomon exclaimed.
"War Greymond would rather sacrifice himself for you than you for him," Patamon replied. "Don't be stupid! Kari doesn't want you to die!"
"Kari..."
Tai fell down to his knees and looked on towards the battlefield. He grasped his digivice tightly and hoped for a comeback from the mega. He wished for a miracle to rise to the occasion and save War Greymon from certain death. War Greymon screamed out with tremendous bloody murder as his ribs were being crushed under the demon's foot weight. HE felt nearly every ounce of his life force being drained away. Was this the end for the brave mega warrior?
"Theres no hurry, my friend! You can suffer more! Suffer terrible agony! Scream like you've screamed before! Do you enjoy eternal pain?"
The venom from Devimon's voice was enough to set off everyone and it caused Tai's blood to boil like never before. But the boy held back as he knew the consequences of losing his own life in the process. Leomon could not even move as he knew that his power was much too low. He couldn't save War Greymon and fighting Devimon in his current condition would be considered sucicide. Devimon looks over to Leomon and smirks.
"Just be patient, Leomon. You'll get your turn soon. Why don't you take this moment to use whatever you want? C'mon, I'm right here! I'll give you a head start."
"Why? You'll only dodge it again.."
War Greymon cried out as Devimon pressed his foot deeper and the screams were enough to scare Kari and TK. Kari held onto TK as tears came down her eyes.
"It's horrible! I can't bear to hear that screaming! TK! Don't tell me that this is going to be the end!"
"Kari! We have to stay tough! I'll protect as much as I can, but we have to believe in ourselves. We have to stand up against that creep. What do you say? I'm sick of being scared and hiding in the shadows! Its time to get tough!"
Kari wiped her tears away as she nodded. The children climbed out of the crater and watched as their digivices started to glow. TK held his digivice and watched as a beam came shooting over towards Patamon. Gatomon and Tai looked on.
"Whoa! Wheres that light coming from?!"
"Tai! Look! It's TK and Kari! Patamon is receiving power from TK! Looks like we're about gain more of an advantage! Hang in there, War Greymon!" Gatomon cried out.
"Patamon! It's time to show this bully what we're made of! It's time to show him the power of Angemon! We took down one Devimon before and we can do it again!"
"Yes! I can feel your hope coarsing through me! I can feel my power growing! Thank you, Takeru. It's my time to shine!"
"Digivolve!"
(Digimon Zero One Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays)
"Patamon shinka!"
The digivice lit up as Patamon underwent a magnificent transformation. His body started to increase in size from that of a small mammal into that of a large, human-like figure. The figure grew numerous angel wings on his back and his body became more muscular. A helmet formed over his face and a long golden rod appeared in his hands. The angelic figure came flying out of the light and stood before everyone.
"Angemon!"
"Alright! Angemon!" Tai exclaimed.
"Way to go, Patamon! Now Devimon is in for it," Gatomon said.
"Show him what you're made of!" TK exclaimed. "Don't hesitate. You can finish him."
Angemon nodded as he turned to face Devimon with deadly intentions. The invader looked on with shock as his device started to pick up a new energy reading from the newly evolved digimon.
"Yes. Angemon has the holy advantage over Devimon," Leomon said. "no matter how powerful this Devimon may consider himself to be, he will be very vulnerable to everyone of Angemon's holy attacks."
"Angemon...you can do it.." War Greymon muttered. "You've got the holy advantage...I'm pretty much worn out.."
Devimon's eyes widened as he finally picked up Angemon's official power level through his device. He couldn't believe that a champion was able to achieve such a power level from a short burst of desperation on a little boy's part. He looked as if he were about to have a heart attack.
"His power level is at a...1307?! No!"
Angemon powered up as he flew right over at Devimon with his fist stretched back. His fist started emitting a bright light. Devimon was easily blinded by this holy light and was unable to detect Angemon's chi movement. The angelic warrior calls out as he prepares to unleash his ultimate attack on the distracted devil man.
"Hand of Fate!"
Angemon's fist punches right through Devimon's armored chest. Devimon cried out as Angemon's powerful fist caused a dent right into Devimon's armor. Devimon goes staggering backwards as Angemon kneeled. The angelic warrior had used up most of his energy from that assault on Devimon. TK and Kari cheered on for the angel while everyone else were wiping their foreheads in relief. War Greymon quickly got up onto his feet and snatched Devimon from behind and applied full nelson to restrain the devil man.
(End theme)
"Way to go, War Greymon!" Tai cried out. "What an awesome comeback! Alright, we can take it from here, Angemon!"
Devimon struggled as War Greymon held tightly onto Devimon. The invader tried everything within his power to break free of the mega's grip. Leomon looks and began to gather more energy for his repeated attack.
"I can't believe that you still have power!"
"Leomon! Do it again! You're going to have to try it again! Angemon was able to get a good hit in! We have to really hurry!"
"Alright! I've just started as you can see. I will need some time again! Why didn't you just grab his damned tail?!"
"Because, he'll just cut it off. I'm not that stupid."
"Curse you, Agumon! Damn those kids for doing this to an elite such as myself! I've been overpowered by children's digimon?!"
Devimon started to struggle once again as War Greymon held tighter. The grip from War Greymon was slowly starting to loosen, but Devimon was much to weak to even make a counterattack. The holy fist was able to stun the devil man completely.
"Damn that boy and his Angemon! That strike of his has left me weakened! Let me go, Agumon! You'll die too if he kills me! Don't you even care!"
"Well, it'll definitely worth the payoff!"
"War Greymon! No! You can't do this! Just move out of the way!" Tai cried. "You don't have to do this!"
"I must, Tai! It's the only way to defeat this menace and insure that he never returns again!"
"But, there has to be another way!" Kari cried out.
"I'm afraid that I'll have to agree with War Greymon on this," said Angemon. "He'll give his own life to ensure your protection, Taichi. He will do this to destroy Devimon for good."
"But...I just...I can't watch..."
The goggle boy was much too stunned to even watch as he looked down to the ground. The worst thing that could possibly happen was his own digimon giving up his life to save another. Tai would have done this if his own sister were the one who was about to be murdered by a heartless monster. Tai would be doing the same thing as War Greymon was doing now.
"What?! Are you insane, Agumon?! Have you lost your mind?! You'll die as well!"
"If it's the only way to defeat you, then so be it.."
"War Greymon. This is it. You better have second thoughts, because this will be for the last time. Have you made your decision?"
"Yes..."
"Very well. This blast will be enough to destroy you both!"
"No! Leomon!" Tai cried out. "There has to be another way to ensure a victory!"
"Aren't you ready yet?!" War Greymon cried out. "My ribs are broken!"
"Let me go, Agumon! I promise to leave this digital plane for good!"
"Don't start that bullshit again. You won't blind me again. You're tricks won't save you from this."
Leomon forms an energy wave through his fingertips as he looks towards his primary target once again. He makes a direct target towards Devimon's chest. The damaged armor exposed an opening into Devimon's bare chest.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, War Greymon. Prepare yourself!"
"Do it, Leomon! Do it now!"
"No, wait!" Tai exclaimed.
"No! You can't do this!" Devimon cried out. "This can't be happening to me!"
"Lion's Wrath!"
Suddenly, everything went into slow motion just as Leomon fired his finishing beam towards a restrained Devimon. Tai cried out and War Greymon was prepared to meet his fate within several seconds. The blast came ever so closer as Devimon's eyes widened and his once precious life was flashing before his very own eyes. There were sudden heartbeats throughout the whole scene. Tai had sudden tears coming down his eyes just as he was about to witness the downfall of his very own digimon partner. War Greymon was set to sacrifice himself to destroy Devimon.
Elsewhere, the masked person looked on from a tree. He witnessed what was about to occur. he had seen Tai expose his weaknesses and War Greymon about to sacrifice his own life. He started to speak on behalf for the goggle boy.
"Tai. This is not the end for War Greymon. This is just only the beginning, my friend. You two are about to embark on a journey after this fight is over."
Just what is this masked man talking about? Will War Greymon actually sacrifice his own life for the sake of others and will Tai pull through his sudden nervous breakdown?

The goggle boy was much too stunned to even watch as he looked down to the ground. The worst thing that could possibly happen was his own digimon giving up his life to save another's life. Tai would have done this if his own sister were the one who was about to be murdered by a heartless monster. Tai would be doing the same thing as War Greymon was doing now.
"What?! Are you insane, Agumon?! Have you lost your mind?! You'll die as well!"
"If it's the only way to defeat you, then so be it.."
"War Greymon. This is it. You better have second thoughts, because this will be for the last time. Have you made your decision?"
"Yes..."
"Very well. This blast will be enough to destroy you both!"
"No! Leomon!" Tai cried out. "There has to be another way to ensure a victory!"
"Aren't you ready yet?!" War Greymon cried out. "My ribs are broken!"
"Let me go, Agumon! I promise to leave this digital plane for good!"
"Don't start that bullshit again. You won't blind me again. Your tricks won't save you from this."
Leomon forms an energy wave through his fingertips as he looks towards his primary target once again. He makes a direct target towards Devimon's chest. The damaged armor exposed an opening into Devimon's bare chest.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, War Greymon. Prepare yourself!"
"Do it, Leomon! Do it now!"
"No, wait!" Tai exclaimed.
"No! You can't do this!" Devimon cried out. "This can't be happening to me!"
"Lion's Wrath!"
Suddenly, everything went into slow motion just as Leomon fired his finishing beam towards a restrained Devimon. Tai cried out and War Greymon was prepared to meet his fate within several seconds. The blast came ever so closer as Devimon's eyes widened and his once precious life was flashing before his very own eyes. There were sudden heartbeats throughout the whole scene. Tai had sudden tears coming down his eyes just as he was about to witness the downfall of his very own digimon partner. War Greymon was set to sacrifice himself to destroy Devimon.
Everyone blinked as the beam penetrated through Devimon's arm, which resulted to the beam going through War Greymon as well. Tai screamed out as both warriors were sent flying backwards. Each had a huge hole in the center of their chests. Blood came spewing from the open hole chests.
"DAMN YOU!" the devil man roared, spitting blood out of his mouth.
They both landed on the ground while everyone else looked on. Tai came running over towards War Greymon's fallen body. Leomon looked on and lowered his head in shame.
"I'm sorry. Forgive me."
"War Greymon! No! You can't die!"
"Tai..."
"Tai! Is he going to be okay?!" TK asked. "Is he going to.."
"His wound looks terrible," said Kari. "I don't think he'll make it.."
"War Greymon. You're willing to do this for me?"
"Yes, Tai. You are my friend and I will always be loyal to you."
Leomon looked across to find Devimon's body a bloody mess. He walks over towards the fallen invader with a disgusted look on his face. He heard Devimon slowly muttering to himself. Leomon was able to pick up to what the devil man was speaking.
"How ridiculous to see myself in such a situation as this...Dying is sure a pain...What's even shameful is for me to die on this retched realm.."
"Heh. Take that demon. You deserve to die..."
"Got to hand it to that traitor..He's even willing to die for his human friend and you weaklings.."
"Fool. We can revive War Greymon, with the help of the four digicores. They're apart of the four holy beasts. They have the power to even resurrect digimon after facing death in a battle."
"Through the four digicores?"
"Yeah. The digicores will do the job. War Greymon will be back in no time."
"Damn you. Heh. But, at the same time, I'm glad that you've told me."
"What are you talking about?"
"I've just transmitted the information to my two partners. They're within the other regions of the digital planes. They've just realized that I am now defeated and they will come here.."
"No. How could I have forgotten that?"
"That's right. They're coming to exterminate this portion of the digital universe. You're all going to die. That includes you."
"How long until they come?"
"I'd say give it a year or so. That's the most time they will take to get here. That's a year as far as Earth time is concerned."
"In one year, two warriors are coming? Even stronger than you?"
"How do you like your odds now, fools? I hope you enjoy your last year. Heh.."
"Shut up. I've heard enough from you."
"Isn't it just sweet? You're all going to die and I shall be avenged. Looks like I'll be getting the last laugh after all. Ha. Ha. Ha."
Leomon growled angrily as he was about to strike the fallen villain, but then he felt his power drop. Devimon made his last breath and died at the scene. Leomon dropped his guard and kicked some dirt on the villain's corpse.
"You still laughing? Ha. Looks like you're not."
Just then, Leomon looked up to see the other Digi-Destined with their digimon. Not only were they together, but Sora was with them. The red-hair girl looked down at Tai and War Greymon. She gasped in shock as she ordered the team to lower themselves onto the ground to help their fallen allies.
"There they are!" Izzy cried out. "I see TK, Kari, Angemon, Gatomon, and Leomon."
"Tai and War Greymon are down! We've got to check this out!" Kabuterimon said.
"I hope that they're alright," said Sora.
As soon as everyone landed on the ground, Sora ran over to Tai. The goggle boy knelt by War Greymon's side. She saw the boy shedding tears and wrapped her arms around him.
"Tai. It's me, Sora. What happened here? War Greymon is dying, isn't he?"
Tai nodded as he began to uncontrollably sob on Sora's shoulder. She patted his back several times, in order to calm the boy's nerves down. The other children went over to comfort TK and Kari after a gruesome battle had taken place.

Meanwhile, deep within the trenches of the digital universe, there stood a lonely digital planet in the middle of nowhere. This was Planet Urliza. The planet was full of luscious rain forests and it teemed with unique digital life. Some were even rare enough to have never been seen anywhere else. However, there were two recent invaders that had occupied the planet to their liking. These were the two warriors, which Devimon was speaking of.
One of the individuals had the same device that Devimon carried. It started going off. The invader read the scout reading and peered over to his other partner.
"Neo Devimon. He's dead."
The two individuals were an Etemon, with battle armor, and a Metal Garurumon. A boy came walking out from the brushes with food. A smirk formed across his face as he bit into some well-cooked meat. The boy had spiked blond hair. His eyes were blue, almost like that of heaven itself. However, it sort of had a cold glare to them. He sat down next to Metal Garurumon and fed him a chunk of meat.
"He deserved it, Etemon. He was killed by several power levels that were under a thousand. Thank god that you're not an idiot like the Etemon I came across. I see you've been doing your homework lately."
"We don't get homework, but we get plenty of assignments. Can we leave this planet for later?"
"I must admit that these digicores sound interesting. I could make any wish that I desire come true. Yeah, let's leave this dump."
"Dump? But this place has plenty of live game to kill and grub on."
"True, but I'm sure we'll meet with Tai and the others there."
"Tai? Oh yeah. You told me about him."
"He has my brother held captive. He stole TK away from me and I'm going to take my brother back. I didn't walk away from the group and join the elite for nothing. Metal Garurumon and I have gotten stronger since then."
"What about Neo Devimon? Are we going to bring him back to life?"
"Why bother? We're better off without him. How about eternal life for ourselves?"
"An eternity of relentless combat! I love the way you're thinking my friend."
With that said, the duo entered their space pods and flew off from their current planet status and made their way through digital space. Since, they were apart from each other, they spoke to each other through their devices. Matt and Gabumon were in one pod, while Etemon had the other pod all to himself.
"The power of Angemon is incredibly high since the last time we fought together. He's gotten stronger over a short period."
"Maybe our devices are all screwed up. He couldn't have gotten that powerful."
"I don't think so. Especially from the damage that one strike Neo Devimon suffered from. I see that my brother has overcome his fear and become a determined Destined. TK, I'm coming for you and I'm getting back at that jerk for taking TK away from me."
"So, you think that your brother would join us? Just think about having Angemon on our side. We'll be indestructible."
"Thats not such a bad idea. I was just thinking about that myself."
"Yes! We'll destroy everyone who dare opposes us!"
"Yes. Tai will die and TK will become apart of our elite. I'll get the last laugh after all. This will be so sweet."
Gabumon looked on and was questioning his partner's judgment. Matt had been thriving to get revenge on Tai for quite a while. But no matter how much Matt has changed, Gabumon had been loyal and stuck to the boy's side.
"I just wish we wouldn't have to resolve this dispute through violence, Matt. I really hope you realize the truth one day."

Back on the digital world, the children gathered around War Greymon's fallen form. The mega slowly struggled as more blood came dropping from the hole. Tai had controlled himself.
"No. Please don't leave me, War Greymon," Tai said. "We've been through so much together."
"Tai...we'll meet again...I guarantee it.." the mega muttered.
"Tai. I'm sorry," Kari said.
"If only we hadn't been caught," TK replied. "This wouldn't have happened.."
"It's okay. I knew that this would be coming," War Greymon said. "It was only a matter of time.."
"War Greymon. Please, don't go. Like Leomon said, if we borrow the four digicores, then we'll restore you back without having to be reborn at Primary Village."
"Thanks. You're a true friend," the mega muttered.
With that said, War Greymon's body was slowly beginning to breakdown into data. Tai knelt in front of the mega and grasped his hand. Tears came swelling up in the boy's eyes.
"I don't think he'll be leaving you anytime now," a voice called out.
Everyone stopped as they looked around to find the source of the voice. Sora looked up as she pointed up to a figure looking down at them.
"look up there!"
It was the masked man who watched the entire battle unfold. He came flying down as he faced the entire Digi-Destined team. He walked over to Tai.
"Tai, I will ask for your cooperation."
"Hey, how do you know my name pal?"
"I'm going to save your digimon's life."
"How? You're not some sort of miracle god."
"No, but I'm pretty close. Trust me. I know what I'm doing."
"Tai. Just go ahead and let him," Sora replied. "I trust him."
"But.."
"It's better than to see Agumon see himself get deleted from existence," Izzy said.
"Alright, I trust you. Go ahead," Tai said.
"Thank you."
The masked man knelt over the fallen mega and placed his hands over his hole. A bright flash of light came scanning down the mega's chest as lost data was being reconfigured. War Greymon wrenched his teeth as his wound was beginning to heal. Tai looked on as his tears faded.
"War Greymon! Come on! You can go through with it!"
With that said, War Greymon's wound was completely healed and he de-digivolved back into Agumon. Tai ran over and picked Agumon up passionately. The masked man stood up and crossed his arms.
"Agumon! You're alive! I'm so glad! Thanks, masked guy! I owe you!"
"Just who are you?" Leomon asked. "I've never seen you before? Did you just watch the battle that had taken palce?"
"Yes. I did watch the battle."
"Why didn't you help us?" asked Kari. "we could used your help."
"This isn't my realm to defend. I wasn't assigned to defend this sector from outsiders."
"Then, what are you doing here and don't you resemble that masked guy from a certain Gundam television show?" Izzy asked.
"He does sort of look like that masked guy," said Tentomon. "Should I get his autograph?"
"I cannot reveal my true identity, but you can call me X. I did watch your battle and I was impressed with your team work. I was shocked to realize that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others. Tai, you have a special digimon."
"So, how do you know my name?"
"I've been monitoring you and the other Digi-Destined since your first arrival. Your digimon have gotten stronger, but now you face a greater threat. Neo Devimon was just the tip of the iceberg. As you know already, he told you that two more invaders would arrive with much greater powers. He speaks the truth. Two warriors will indeed come here in one earth year."
"Damn! Then, how do we prepare for them?!" Tai asked. "Tell us? Our digimon can't go through some sort of training. We wouldn't know where to find some sort of advanced training."
"That is why I have came. I saved War Greymon's life because I see an unlimited potential to his power. But it is locked and I shall help you to unlock it."
"Unlock his true power?"
"Yes, Tai. Angemon has already proven that. However, TK, you must help Angemon to control his full power. Now, I've come up with a decision. Agumon. Tai. I would personally like to invite to come with me to my realm. I will prepare you two for your needs to combat the invaders."
"You want us to come? But what about the others?"
"The only strong warriors I see amongst this group are Leomon, Gatomon and Patamon. The others are good but they're just not good enough. They don't possess the unlimited potential like you four do. Leomon, I ask for you to train Gatomon and Patamon. They must realize their unlimited potential. TK and Kari are very special. They're no the children of hope and light for nothing. Tai, you possess the crest of courage, you will definitely be the one that takes the invaders down. If you're willing to accept, we extend our hands in friendship."
"Should I do it," Tai asked.
"Yes," Agumon muttered weakly. "We should accept his offer. I believe in him."
"Well, if you say so."
With that said, Tai shook X's hand. Agumon managed to get up onto his feet. Tai turned to face the others.
"Are you leaving, Tai?" TK asked.
"Yeah, but don't worry. We'll get the proper training from X and we'll be back. You guys just stick together. I might not be around but you guys should take care of yourselves. TK. I trust that you'll take care of my sister?"
"You can count on me!"
"Sora. I leave you in charge of the others. Remember to think about me. I'm sure I'll get some sort of message from you. Well, so long everyone."
Tai placed his hand on X. Agumon walks over and did the same. Sora calls out once again to the goggle boy and runs over to him. She embraces him and lets out a few tears. Tai pats her back and wipes the tears away from her eyes. A smile forms on Tai's face.
"Take care. Good luck on your training."
"Thanks. I'll be back. Don't you worry."
As soon as that happened, Tai and Agumon placed their hands onto X as they vanished from sight. Sora wiped her years away and faced the group.
"Remember that Tai will be coming back. We better prepare ourselves for the worst to come. I know you're all a little scared, but that's okay. We can overcome this fear. After all, we do have Leomon on our side now."
"I will help train the two with everything I have," the brave warrior replied. "It's going to be quite rough though."
"Oh, nothing that we can't handle," said Patamon.
"That's what you always say," replied Gatomon.
"So, how was Devimon able to find you guys so easily," Joe asked.
"Hey, Joe. Your shoe laces are untied," Gomamon said.
"I'm not falling for that old trick. You think I'll fall for it?"
"I don't know, but your shoes are untied."
"Ugh. I hate it when you're right."
"To answer your question, Joe, that is a device mounted on his head that seems to track an opponent's strength and position," said Leomon.
"So, there are digimon who created advanced forms of technology never seen on our home planet. This ought to be good research," Izzy said.
Mimi looked over towards Devimon's corpse and gasped to herself. She points over to the corpse, which caught everyone else's attention.
"You...You mean that?" Mimi asked. "Here, Joe, you pick that thing up."
"No way. You're asking me?!" Joe asked. "But won't he come back to life or something?
"Here let me do it," Sora said.
The red-head walks over to the fallen corpse and picks the device up. He mounts it on her face and presses a button to activate it. She was surprised to find an advanced mathematical calculation reading.
"What do you see, Sora?" Biyomon asked.
"Wow. This is advanced technology! This is one awesome device."
"Hmm. It looks a little banged up," Izzy replied. "But I think I should fix it using my computer."
"Good. We'll probably get some better readings out of it," Sora said. "We can definitely revamp it."
"Yeah, we'll see where we all stand as far as our power is concerned. I just hope that I'm strong," Palmon said.
"You're strong no matter what," Mimi replied.
"Ah, thanks, Mimi."
"I say we find ourselves some shelter," said Tentomon. "There's no use in standing around here."
"I agree," Sora replied. "We'll see if we can use those digicores like Leomon said. Is that right?"
Leomon nodded in agreement as he grabbed his arm. Everyone looked on as he twisted his arm back into it's right position. The children cringed from the bones popping and the shoulder being popped back into it's place.
"Yuck! That has got to hurt!" Mimi exclaimed. "I can't stand that sound."
"You be sure to find the digicores. You'll find the four holy beasts east of File Island. They reside on a mysterious island. You better hurry, because they have a dormant period It's drawing close. In the meantime, I'll be taking Gatomon and Patamon. TK and Kari are welcome to come."
"Yay! We can come!" TK said. "Alright! We get to see our digimon train!"
"Thats good to know," Kari replied.
"Yes. These two digimon will become a powerful asset once properly trained under my wing. We'll need their power against these two invaders, who will be here within an earth year. As of now, only I can train them properly."
"Isn't that too big of a responsibility on your part," Sora asked.
"I understand that, but we have to do this in order to stop the invaders."
The brave warriors scoops up Gatomon and Patamon under his arms, while TK and Kari were placed on top of Leomon's shoulders. The brave warrior was about to make off but turned to face the other children once again.
"In a earth year's time, we'll be back to see you. I'm sure you'll have the digicores by then and Tai will have returned. Tell Tai to be patient, if he returns early."
With that said, Leomon sprints off into the distance with Kari, TK and their digimon. The other children looked on and got themselves together to find the island to which Leomon was speaking of. From there, they will meet with the four holy beasts and gather the four digicores.
"I wonder what he should use the digicores for? Maybe we can use them to help increase our digimon's powers," Joe said.
"Yeah! Just wait and see until we stomp a hole onto those invaders!" Gomamon said. "Cause I'm definitely the 'mon around here!"
"Sora. Are you okay?" Biyomon asked.
"Yeah. Oh, Tai. Please come back soon. We'll definitely need your help."

Elsewhere, X brings forth Agumon and Tai onto a heavenly world with a long roadway in the middle section. Tai looked around in awe as if he were in heaven itself. Agumon touched the clouds around him. X cleared his throat, which caught the duo's attention.
"We didn't come here to check out the scenery. This is work guys. I understand that you two are all fun and games, but you know that business needs to get done. I've seen how you've helped Agumon digivolve and you become a determined, serious leader. I admire that, but it will take more than just that to ensure your status as the top Digi-Destined in the digital world. You have that unlimited potential to stand above the rest and defend the digital world from outsiders."
"So, tell me, X? What are we going to be doing for training?"
"Good question, Tai. You see this road in front of you? This is the roadway to my home turf. I live on one of the highest regions of the digital universe. I oversee everything that takes place on your section. Yes. I've seen your adventures with the other Digi-Destined."
"Answer another question. What do you want us to do on this road? Follow you?"
"Exactly. This road is said to be a million kilometers."
"What the hell?! A million kilometers?!" They exclaimed.
"That's right, but I can easily fly over this road within minutes. Hell, I can probably complete this in seconds."
"You're not serious..."
"I am. There's no time to waste. You two are to cross this road. By the way, if you plan on flying over this, you might want to rethink that strategy. Trust me. It's going to be tough as hell. Oh and be careful not the fall off the road, because you're going to drop into hell itself. I was the only mortal to even cross this road. I have faith that you two will be the next to complete such a feat. Now, lets get started."
With that said, X powers up an aura and soars across the road within a matter of seconds. Tai and Agumon sported widened-eye expressions. The goggle head stood on top of the road as he looked across with his miniscope.
"This miniscope can't find jack crap! This road looks endless!"
"Don't worry. If we put our minds to it, we'll cross this road. I'm sure of it!"
"I just hope that you're right, bud. Looks like we're in one hell of a roller coaster for this coming year."
"Just make sure not to fall off this road, Tai. We'll be serving burgers down in limbo for eternity. There's no way I'll be serving any burgers, since I'll just end up beating them all."
"That's a scary thought. We better keep our minds focused then. Let's go, buddy. We're making you go mega! Time to digivolve!"
With that said, Tai's crest and digivice lit up as they emitted a combined energy force, which allowed Agumon to digivolve through everyone of his present levels.
"Agumon! Warp shinka!"
Agumon quickly evolves through his champion form, then his ultimate and finally his mega form. The new figure stood with metallic armor covering his body and claws locked in with gauntlets on his arms. His face was protected by a form of armor and red hair grew at the back of his head. He completes his evolution and cries out his mega name.
"War Greymon!"
The mega scoops up Tai and places him on his back. War Greymon looks out towards the distance where X traveled and follows him by detecting the masked man's chi.
Back within the digital world, Sora and the others were beginning their journey over towards the location of the island where the four holy beasts reside. Garudamon, Kabuterimon and Lillymon traveled by air, while Ikkakumon traveled by sea. Their journey would help ensure the backup needed for their allies as they plan to battle the invaders. Time was definitely ticking and the children had better make this time period or preparations worth it.
Back in the other realm, War Greymon was now running across the roadway with Tai on his back. The boy held on tightly to prevent himself from falling off down into hell itself.
"Damn! I should know that wasn't such a good idea. Never listen to me again, War Greymon!"
"Ugh! Man! I used too much power in flight!"

Now that our heroes are preparing themselves, will it be worth it as the invaders make their way to the digital world? Why has Matt joined the evil elite and will he confront Tai in an inevitable showdown and how will this affect TK?

Later that day after the grueling battle against Neo Devimon, Leomon ran a far distance from the location. He planned on finding an open plain field with enough mountain ranges He looked up ahead and found the perfect location. TK and Kari looked ahead at the beautiful landscape with awe.
"Wow. How pretty," Kari said. "I love the scenery."
"So, is this where you'll train our digimon?" TK asked.
"Yes. This will be the perfect location to start our training."
Leomon walks over towards a pond area and places the digimon down. The children jumped off the brave warrior's back. TK walks over to sit besides a stone.
"You picked a good spot," TK said. "This is more than enough room."
"Yeah. So, we're actually going to be watching our digimon train for a full earth year," the girl asked.
"Yes. Today, we shall start with the basics. Patamon. Gatomon. This years worth of training will be very harsh and difficult. If you are weak of heart, then I suggest you back down and walk away. Do you think you have what it takes to endure my training?"
"You know that I'm up for it. I'll get as strong to protect TK. I won't let him down."
"Likewise for Kari. Do what you have to do, Leomon."
"Understood."
Leomon looks out towards the sunset horizon and breathed the pure air. He let out a sigh and turned to face the two digimon. Patamon stood up while Gatomon was still as ever. Leomon's presence sent chills down their spines, but they were in good hands. Leomon is said to be among the elite warrior class and has trained many digimon students before him. This was nothing new for the brave warrior. However, Patamon and Gatomon have never faced any type of training which they were about to endure.
"As you know, Taichi and Agumon have both left with X in the other world. They will be training under some sort of gravity training from what I understand. It is only once in a full moon that X finds a potentially strong warrior. When Taichi returns, his digimon will perhaps be more than enough to defeat the upcoming invaders. There will br two of them. They will be both more powerful than Neo Devimon. We endured a very tough battle against what we assume was a champion-level monster, but he was powerful enough to put down War Greymon. There's no telling how strong these two will be. That is why we'll need more than just War Greymon to endure heavy training. You two are next in line in the power department. Matt and Metal Garurumon have been missing in action since the battle on Earth."
"Yeah, I have a question. Where has my brother been? Leomon, do you know?"
"I'm sorry, Takeru. I have not seen him. It's as if he disappeared from this digital plane itself. There's no telling where he could be."
"I wonder if he left because of me. I've always been too much of a crybaby and he probably got fed up with me. You know Demidevimon was probably right after all."
Kari looked at the boy with a worried look. She felt really bad for the boy and did not want to see him in his current state.
"Takeru. Don't say that. I'm sure that your brother needed to clear things up. But believe me, he would never abandon you. Brothers always stick together, through thick and thin. Blood is thicker than water."
"Until now...Hes gone and hes never coming back."
"TK..." Kari muttered. "TK?"
"Yeah?"
"I think we should have a talk later."
"A talk?"
"Mmhmm. Is that okay?"
"Yes. I really need someone to talk to. Thank you, Kari."
"You and Angemon saved us. I'm very grateful. If it weren't for Angemon, we would all be taken away by that creep."
"Okay. We'll ahve a talk. Where do you want to meet?"
"Over by that pond. But, lets watch our digimon train. I wonder what Leomon has in store for them."
"Yeah. Is ought to be a treat."
The children looked on to witness the training involving their digimon. Leomon faced the digimon with an expressionless look, as if he prepared to scold the two.
"So, I assume that you two have heard about the digicores?"
"Of course we do," Patamon said. "Who hasn't heard about them?"
"You know that they can easily bring digimon back from the dead, except unless it was from a natural death."
"So the death must be from a battle or any sort of physical contact."
"Yes. Lets say that I were to die in a battle, you could use those digicores to resurrect me back to life."
"How cool," the feline replied.
"Now, onto the phase of our training. War Greymon will be back, but that still won't be enough to defeat the two invaders. He and I alone will not stand a chance. We need the power from you two. You must learn to use your hidden powers and join us to protect this digital world. TK and Kari possess the crests of light and hope. The children will help you unlock that power."
"No problem. So how do you want us to start our training?" Patamon asked.
"So we have hidden powers?" Gatomon aksed. "I guess Myotismon was too stupid to even realize that."
"Myotismon was a fool. He ignored what you were capable of. If you had unlocked your hidden power before, you would have wiped him out within a heartbeat. You two have power hidden within you that you have never even glimpsed. The training will bring it out."
"So I would have kicked Mr. Fangface's butt while still in my champion form?"
"Yes."
"Tell us what we should do now. I'm eager to know," stated Patamon.
A smirk forms across Leomon as he glared down at the two digimon.
"You really want to know? Ok, heres the first step to your training."
With that said, Leomon grabbed Patamon by this wings and flinged him up. TK quickly got up as he was about to cry out, but Gatomon was able to hold him back.
"Don't do that to him!"
"Trust me. Patamon will be fine," the feline said. "Leomon knows what he is doing."
"But.."
Kari placed a hand on TK's shoulder. She then sets TK back on the rock and calms the boy. TK stood by and continued to watch Leomon physically toss Patamon as if he were a rag doll.
Leomon looks over towards a tall mountain and an idea came to mind. He wrenched back and threw Patamon towards the mountain. The rookie flung across the mountain with tremendous force. Patamon cried out as the brave warrior stood by. TK was about to jump up, but Kari was there to calm him down. Patamon screamed as he came ever so closer towards the mountain. This was the rookie's fate. It was either unleashing his hidden power or become splattered jelly all over the mountain. The rookie's fate was at stake and he had to make the right decision.
"Patamon!"
As soon as the boy cried out, his digivice's light shimmered brightly and this allowed Patamon to power up. The rookie left a powerful aura glow over his body and he quickly snapped back to reality. His eyes looked across the mountain and he cried out. He charged up and shot out an energy blast, which was ten times bigger than his tiny body. Leomon and Gatomon looked on with awe as the blast came hurtling towards the mountain. The blast made contact with the mountain and resulted in a massive explosion. The entire mountain crumbled within a matter of seconds. TK and Kari were completely shocked. Leomon was able to grab Gatomon and went over to cover the children from the flying debris.
"Whoa! TK! How did you make your digivice go off like that? Patamon reacted to your emotions," Gatomon said. "That must be it, then. Your emotions allowed Patamon to unlock his hidden potential."
"Awesome. I did that for Patamon?"
As soon as the dust settled, there was nothing left of the mountain. All that was left was a small crater with a long, burrowed trail ahead. Patamon looked on with a shocked look, but the others were just as shocked. This rookie was able to produce such a powerful blast and he didn't have to digivolve into Angemon to do so.
"Patamon. I can't believe you did that," Gatomon said.
"Wow, you've got one strong digimon, TK," Kari replied.
"Thats more than I ever imagined," Leomon stated.. "What am I in for? Will he actually be enough to defeat the invaders? Just imagine if he had done that while in his champion form."
"Way to go, Patamon! Thats the way!" TK cheered on. "We'll teach those bullies not to destroy the digital world!"
"Wow. Did I just do that?" the rookie asked.
"It begins to become clear, doesn't it?" Leomon asked. "Well does it?"
"Yes. Sort of."
"Sort of? No, it has become quite clear! Your power bursts loose only when yours and the boy's emotions are at their peak. And then for an instant, it would not be very useful. But I will teach how to use that power all the time. Gatomon, this goes for you, too. I will make you two the most powerful duo to ever grace the digital world."
"You can count me in," the feline replied.
"How about you, Patamon?"
"What about TK/ Will he be in the right frame of mind?"
"Takeru? How about it?"
"Please, TK. We really need you for this one. Tai didn't just leave for his own sake. He and Agumon are with X to prepare themselves for training. It's only right that we should too. Please, TK. You have to be strong about this."
The boy looked over at Kari, who had a rather pleading look. TK sighed and stood up. A confident smirk forms across his young face.
"I'm in! I'm not going to cry anymore. Just because my brother isn't here, doesn't mean that I should stick up for myself. I will face my fears and overcome them. Kari. Leomon. Gatomon. Patamon. I'll do everything I can to help Patamon in his training. I'm so in."
"Thanks, TK," Patamon replied.
"I'd knew you'd change your mind," Kari said.
"We have to defeat these two invaders. The fate of the digital world is at stake. If we fail, then they will exterminate everyone here and our hopes will be shattered. We will overcome this darkness together."
"I can not wait until my brother comes back! He and War Greymon will wipe the floor with those two jerks! I hate people who hurt others. TK and I will bring the best out of our digimon."
"Mmhmm."
"Yes. He should be strong enough to even the odds," said Leomon. "The invaders will learn the hard way."
"So, whats the second phase in the training," asked Gatomon.
"Do nothing."
This command managed to confuse the children and the digimon. They did not understand as to why doing nothing would be apart of the heavy training.
"Do nothing? How is that training?" Kari asked.
"Your digimon must do nothing, but survive."
"We have to survive on our own," asked Patamon.
"Yes. TK and Kari are to stay away from you two for now. Kids, I suggest you to let your digimon train on their way. This is the only way that the training will ever hope to succeed."
"Um, sure. You want us to stay at the sidelines?" TK said.
"That is right."
"Sounds weird, but we'll do it," Kari stated.
"If you two are still alive, I will come back here in six earth months," the brave warrior replied. "From there, I'll teach you two how to fight."
"Alone? Just the two of us? With no digi partners around?"
"Yes, porky. We're going to be alone."
"Quit, calling me that! I'm not a pig."
"But I think thats such a cute name. It suites you quite well."
"Ah! See what I have to put up with for six earth months?!"
"You will have to learn to work together," Leomon replied. "You two will have to survive for those months. You will train while in your current states. Takeru. Hikari. You two will be away from your digimon. Don't worry. These two are quite resourceful and will survive."
"Well, sorry we can't stay and watch you two," Kari said. "I'm sure you two will do fine."
"Good luck. I know you two can survive this."
"Oh and there are plenty of blood-thirsty digimon around, who would love to have you two as snacks," Leomon said.
"Ugh, great," Patamon said. "Gatomon. You better watch my back."
"Likewise."
"You two must survive for six earth months. No matter what. This is the way to learn on how to be tough. Don't forget that you two also hold a key to this world's fate. Believe in your power and figure out by yourselves on how to effectively draw out those powers."
"Yes!"
"Don't even think about running away from this area. There's a barren wasteland surrounding this paradise. You'll just waste your lives away and be eaten by predators in those wastelands. You also are forbidden from digivolving. Remember that. Good luck to you two."
With that said, Leomon goes rushing off into the distance while leaving the two digimon behind. TK and Kari stood by as they walked over towards the pond. Gatomon and Patamon were now prepared to endure six earth months of survival. If they can complete this, then they are guaranteed training from Leomon and their chances of beating the invaders would greatly increase.

Elsewhere, the other Digi-Destined were beginning their journey to find the sacred island where the four holy beasts were residing. They planned on finding this island and gathering the four digicores. Several days have passed by and they were still not even close to File Island.
"Okay. Leomon said that it was north of File Island," Sora said.
"But we don't see a File Island! Now, do we?! We're lost!"
"Take it easy, Joe," Ikkakumon replied. "You've been like this for four days. I'm surprised that you haven't even choked under those screams."
"Sorry, I just get way too panicky."
"Well, you're doing one hell of a job," Mimi replied. "Ugh, my hair is getting moldy from this icky, moist air."
"Can we concentrate more on finding the island and stop worrying about ourselves for once?" Izzy asked.
"Have you found anything Izzy? You do have a map location of the entire digital world."
"Yes, Tentomon. I'm not sure how far we're going, but we should be to File Island soon. Luckily, we were able to find and gather some food for us on this trip."
"Ugh. Don't remind me. I always get seasick after a snack," Joe replied.
"Don't you go puking on me!" Ikkakumon exclaimed. "This fur is dry-clean!"
"I just wonder how Kari and TK are doing,"Sora said to herself. "That training must be tough for lil' Patamon and Gatomon. I'm sure that they're in good hands."
xxxxx
Back over at the training grounds, Gatomon and Patamon found themselves chased by a hungry Tyrannomon. The faces on the little ones were priceless, as if they were about to piss themselves.
"Gatomon! You're a champion-level! You should be able to take this guy down! Do something!"
"Ugh. Must I always be the brains behind our tag team."
"I can't even do anything! My Boom Bubble is useless!"
"Fine! Hey, look! There's a cliff! We'll jump onto that high ledge."
"But we can't make it that far!"
"Just leave everything to me, porky!"
With that said, the feline had a brilliant idea. She smirks to Patamon and grabs him. She then leaps up onto a branch while holding onto Patamon. She uses the branch as if it were a slingshot and managed to spring herself through the air. With cat-like agility, she flips onto the ledge and laid Patamon down. The hungry predator looked around with a dumb-founded look. Gatomon placed her clawed hand onto Patamon's mouth to prevent him from crying out.
"Keep quiet, porky."
"What did I just-"
"Quiet!"
The Tyrannomon stopped his search as he walked off into the distance and disappeared into the fog. Gatomon wiped her sweaty forehead and sighed in relief. She released her hand from Patamon's mouth and assured him of the safety.
"Is he gone?"
"Yeah. We should be fine now."
"I wonder if TK and Kari are doing ok."
"They're under Leomon's watch. They'll be fine. But we have to survive. It's too bad that I can't digivolve into Angewomon."
"We'll do just fine, but I promise not to slag along. I'm just holding you back, aren't I?"
"Don't be hard on yourself, Patamon. I might have a little more experience, but you have plenty of potential. We're a team and we'll overcome this harsh training together. We'll be both leaving in tip-top shape and with new, stronger powers."
"Mmhmm. You're right. I shouldn't be talking about myself like that. It's not healthy for a growing digimon like myself."
"So, what do you say? You up for a little grub?"
"You've just read my mind. I just passed by some good meat apples."
"I hope there's a tuna-flavored one."
With that said, the two digimon jumped down from their hideout and explored towards the outside terrain. They began to forage in their search for the meat apple tree. These meat apples are a nutritious snack for many digimon. They were shaped like ordinary apples, but they contain the taste of many kinds of meat products. Not only was are they sweet, but they are also tender.
"Look, Gatomon! I see the meat apple tree! Lets grub on!"
"I'll get us some apples. I can climb trees."
"Well I can fly!"
"We'll race and see who gets the apples, first. Ready, set.."
Gatomon quickly made a head start and climbed up the tree. This left Patamon with a frustrated look. He flies up but was not fast enough to catch up with Gatomon's cat-like prowess. Gatomon gathered a patch of apples and dropped them to the ground. Patamon snared an apple with his mouth and dropped it.
"I think that should be enough to last us for a few days, Pata Pata."
"'Pata Pata'? Wheres 'porky'? You're not going to make fun of me?"
"Nah. Besides, I think I'm beginning to like you now."
"Really?"
"Yeah. At first, I thought you were just some crybaby. But, when you fought Neo Devimon and showed us that hidden strength of yours, I've started to have some respect for you. I guess being little has it's advantages. You've got heart, just like TK."
"Like they say, big things come in small packages."
"That's definitely you, Patamon! Lets cook these apples, cause I don't think you want to eat these raw."
"No way. I'll gather us some firewood."
"Ok."
Patamon flies off in search of some dead wood, in order to make a fireplace. Gatomon climbed down and gathered the apples. She sits down and looks back to when she first met Patamon and the Digi-Destined.
"Pata, you're so young but there's something I like about you. You're different from the others. Something special. I know that I'm a mature digimon, but you seems so childish and playful. Maybe I should go along with the act? Nah, I'd be lowering myself to such a childish level, but maybe Pata would like me a little more."
A sudden blush came over the feline's face as she gasped. She placed her hand over her mouth and turned to see Patamon with a pile of dead under wood.
"Hey, what are you looking at, Gatomon?"
"Oh nothing. Ha. Ha. Nothing at all."
"Oh, well I just brought us some firewood. We can cook those meat apples."
"Oh, thank you. We'll get started right away."
Gatomon picks up the dead wood and turns away with a slight blush. She smiles to herself and sets up the firewood.
"Then again, I just might give him a chance."
Leomon looks on from a distance and suppressed his chi. This way he could not be detected by either digimon. The brave warrior smirked as he walked away.
"Cute. On the other hand, they've been doing quite well in this persure for survival. Things will only get complicated as time goes by. If they can not survive like this for another few days, then their uses will be very limited. Please, prove me wrong."
Back over in the other world, War Greymon and Tai were still traveling over the roadway towards the planet home. This was the only way to meet X and seek training from the mysterious masked warrior.
"Damn! It's been forever since we've eaten. Well, we did manage to stop by at a few places. These guys were nice enough to serve us free food. I guess since they know that we're seeking training from X."
"Maybe, you're right. We have to keep our composure. We don't want to fall off this roadway and find ourselves serving for the sinners down in digimon limbo."
"Oh yeah. That's the last thing we need!"
xxxxx
While our two heroes continue their long run on the roadway to X's planet, Gatomon and Patamon have started their second phase of training. They will survive on their own will and prove to Leomon that they are capable of enduring his harsh training. Will they survive? And will Gatomon admit to her liking of Patamon?

SSJ4T: Whats up, fools? We're back with another exciting edition of the Digital Invaders Saga! We've just wrapped up another episode where it was completely a Patamon/Gatomon coupling. Today's story will feature Takari, so this should make all of you TK and Kari fans happy.
Tai: And Taiora will come eventually. I hope.
SSJ4T: It will come, but it most likely will be featured at the end of this saga.
Max: Can't wait for that!
Yugi: Hey, guys! Am I late for the show?
Keke: You're just in time! Are you Yami or Yugi right now?
Yugi: Just Yugi, but I can change that..
Yugi's Millenium Puzzle activates it's mystical powers and it transforms little Yugi into the game master known as Yami Yugi.
Yami: Here I am! Now, shall we start the fic?
Takuya: Hey, Yugi! You want to duel?
Yami: Sure. I could use a real challenge after I punished some unfortunate fool and sent him to the shadow realm.
Max: I thought only Bakura could do that?
Yami: The so-called Digimon King cheated because he knew that he was going up against the master like myself. He paid the price and I banished his mind to the shadow realm.
SSJ4T: Ah, I get it. Whoa, Piccolo! When did you get here?
Piccolo: Just before all of you started babbling. So, can we get this fic started with? I've got a lookout to watch over. Dende and Popo are starting to worry about me.
SSJ4T: Yes, former Kami. On with the fic!

Takeru and Hikari's First Moment Together!
xxxxx
Later that night, Gatomon and Patamon had finished eating their meat apples. They decided to take an early sleep after consuming each a filling meal. They've never felt any better. Since they were going to be training a lot, the digimon decided to increase their food consumption and their training would help burn the food. This could be easily done since they have very high metabolisms.
As soon as Gatomon and Patamon started sleeping, Leomon stood watching over them from another hill top. His arms were crossed and he turned his attention to the full moon. It's beautiful illumination shone over the luscious landscape. He concentrated his energy and managed to suppress his ki.
"You two are doing great thus far. You're going to have keep this up for another few earth months. I know it might seem a while, but you will pull through. I will train you as hard as I can. I will ensure that you receive the best training as possible."
As soon as he said that, Leomon turned his attention over towards the young Digi-Destined; the carriers of the crests of hope and light. TK and Kari were sitting by each other at a pond. The boy grabbed a pebble and threw it towards the water and watched a trickle of water come about. Kari blinked her eyes and looked over at TK.
"Hey, TK?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember when I said that I needed to talk to you?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, I think this would be the perfect time for us to talk."
"Oh, sure. What do you have in mind, Kari?"
"Well. Lately, I've been worried about you. You haven't been yourself. I can understand that you miss your brother. To be honest, I really didn't know him that well. But I could tell that he really cares for you."
"How do you know?"
"Well, take my brother for example. He's an honest, but a pretty stubborn brother. He can act like a dork many times, but that's what makes him such an awesome brother. He makes me laugh and he can annoy me."
"Yeah, but my brother really doesn't do anything like that. He always vows to protect me and would destroy anything that would harm me."
"He has every right to worry about you, but I don't think he should destroy anyone that ever comes near you. Tell me, are you two separated?"
"Yeah. Our parents divorced and it really wrecked me. I only get to see my brother once and a while. At least, I was able to see him then. Now, he won't even show his face to me again. Was it something that I've done wrong? Tell me, Kari. Did I do anything to upset him?"
"No, I don't think so. Did you do something to upset him?"
"No. I just feel that I'm too much of a crybaby and he probably hates me for it. I can't help it. I can't help the fact that I cry. I just get scared."
"Believe me. I cry too. I cry when I something scary comes about, but I manage to overcome that fear. My brother taught me to always overcome your greatest fears. I used to be so scared of the dark, but my brother told me that there wasn't anything to be afraid of. So, what I did was confront that fear and say to myself, 'I'm not afraid'. I said it over and over again. I have very little fears, but I am definitely afraid of these invaders coming."
"Why is that?"
"Because we really have no idea how powerful they really are. Neo Devimon was bad, but these two other jerks will be even deadlier. But as long as we believe our digimon's abilities, we just might rise up on top."
"I hope you're right."
"Hope? That's what your crest symbol represents, right?"
The boy nodded and looked over at his crest of hope. Thus far, his crest was the only one to have never reacted and allowed Angemon to an ultimate-level warrior. It would be only a matter of time before.
"I know that your crest hasn't been activated and Patamon hasn't digivolved into ultimate. Patamon still hasn't reached his full potential, but believe me. His time will come. You have to overcome your fears against the approaching enemy. Do you understand?"
"Yeah. I'm beginning to understand. It's starting to become clear to me."
"I know Angemon will digivolve into ultimate one day, but that will be up to you. It's really up to you whether you want Angemon to digivolve to ultimate."
"My choice?"
"If you keep holding yourself back, then you won't help Angemon. You understand?"
"Wow, Kari. Since when did you think like this?"
"My brother always tells me to have confidence for myself and to face my fears. You should take it from me."
"Oh yeah. You're making a lot of sense. I'll do what I can to help Patamon. You know something? I'm not even that afraid of these jerks anymore. I'm ready to face anything!"
Kari simply smiled and felt that she had boosted the boy's confidence. Her brother had lectured her to be strong and show confidence towards anything intimidating. Now, she had lectured TK to boost his self-confidence. It was only a matter of time before he would help Patamon to digivolve into his ultimate form.
"TK. I have one more thing to tell you."
"Yeah?"
TK turns around and looks over to Kari. The girl presses closer to him and plants a peek on his cheek. TK was taken back, but left really comfortable to receive a light kiss from Tai's little sister.
"Kari…"
"I just couldn't resist."
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it."
TK held his cheek, where Kari had planted a kiss. He looked back and saw flashes of light blasting through a mountain. The boy cried out, which caught Kari's attention.
"What was that?!"
"Kari! Something is going on from the other side! That's where Patamon and Gatomon are resting!"
"We better tell Leomon."
"I'm already aware of it," said Leomon. "There's a Gorillamon on the other side. Patamon and Gatomon are attempting to battle it!"
"Isn't there anything that you can do?"
"I'm afraid that they're on their own," replied the brave warrior. "I told them that they would need to survive on their own."
"But, they'll be killed," said kari. "They just had a big meal and I'm not sure they've digested their food."
"They should have digested by now. On the other hand, we can't afford to lose these two. They will be very valuable against the invaders."
"You'd better hurry! It's looking pretty ugly out there," the boy said.
"Understood. I'll be right back."
With that said, Leomon rushes off into the distance and sensed the strong pair of chis behind the mountains. There was two small chis followed by a much larger one. He knew that this Gorillamon was stronger than any he had sensed before.
"Now, even regular digimon are increasing their power. I have to put a stop to this!"
Gorillamon roared as he jumped down and smashed a small mountain with his tremendous strength. Patamon and Gatomon could only look on as the mountain was crushed into rumble. There wasn't anything that the pair could do against the monster's relentless force. It was time to defend themselves and let Gorillamon know who was boss. The duo unleashed their attacks upon the beast.
"Boom Bubble!"
"Lightning Paw!"
The two attacks had no effect on Gorillamon. The beast shrugged it off and continued his relentless destruction of the training grounds. The duo were about to meet their fate at the hands of the monster, since they are unable to digivolve without their partners to guide them. However, Leomon had arrived on the scene.
"Leomon! Over here! We need help!" exclaimed Gatomon.
"Things aren't exactly turning out as planned," replied the bat pig.
"I'll take it from here," Leomon said.
Just then, Gorillamon readied his arm blaster and points it towards a faroff mountain ridge. Leomon looks on and gasps at what he saw. Gorillamon shoots out a gigantic blast that hurtled towards the mountain ride with tremendous speed and reduced the mountain ridge into a pile of rubble. The explosion started to die down as a mushroom cloud started to form. Leomon looked on with a horrified look. Patamon and Gatomon hid behind the brave warrior as they covered their faces from the flying debris.
"Are you two alright?"
"We're fine."
"What an awesome blast! I see that there are some digimon who have learned to increase their power through the proper training. This monster obviously has no respect for his power. I better put a stop to this."
Gorillamon looks up and fires two more blasts at Leomon, but the brave warrior quickly evaded them. The blasts managed to level two rock ledges with tremendous ease.
"Such destructive power! At this rate, this monster will go destroying the digital world before the invaders arrive! Now to end this!"
Leomon roared and unsheathed his sword. He rushes over at Gorillamon. The two beasts charged at one another and there were two flashes of light. Both warriors stood at opposite sides. Leomon turned to face Gorillamon, who was easily reduced into data.
"Yes. That was close. I was lucky to have arrived here in time," said Leomon. "Are you two okay?"
"We're fine. Thanks, Leomon," Patamon said.
"We could have been reduced into digi dust there," Gatomon replied. "He was much too strong for us since we weren't supposed to digivolve."
"Yes and you will need more training. The invaders will be much more powerful than that weakling."
"You call that a weakling?!" Patamon asked. "He almost killed us!"
"Soon, you'll learn to battle champion-level monsters while in your rookie forms. It's only a matter of time," replied Leomon.
"So, was that going to be the last time you're going to save our hides?"
"Yes, Patamon. Not only do I have to look after TK and Kari, but I must training to be done for myself. You two should manage to emerge unscathed in the coming six earth months. I personally shall provide you two hell's own training. It will be so tough that you shall think you were better off dead."
"Whoa, you're really enjoying this, aren't you?" asked Patamon.
"You two will be molded into my own image and you will become the strongest duo the digital world has ever seen. Rest easy. You'll definitely need it for the next upcoming months."
With that said, Leomon runs off into the distance and leaves the two digimon behind once again. The duo would now have to fend for themselves for the next six earth months. Leomon vowed to never to interfere until those six months ended. It was time for both Gatomon and Patamon to toughen up as the training continues.
xxxxx
Six Months Pass.
The six months have passed through the digital world and they passed very quickly. The digital world's greatest forces were training their hardest and preparing themselves for the incoming invaders. It would be for another six months before the deadly warriors would begin their wave of destruction.
On one side of the digital world, Centaurumon, Piximon, and Andromon were easily found by the other Digi-Destined. They had failed to locate the island and found out that the four holy beasts were taking their hibernation period. They weren't allowed to summon the digicore's powers. Fortunately, the children allowed their digimon to spar with the trio. This was the perfect way to make their digimon stronger. Sora still thought about Tai and was beginning to wonder how War Greymon's training was commencing.
xxxxx
As for Tai and War Greymon, they were still traveling and running…and running toward the planet where the masked warrior X resides.
xxxxx
And what about Gatomon and Patamon? Well, they seem to be surviving well on their way. The six months of hell have passed and they have managed to overcome the odds. They will soon prepare themselves for the training, which Leomon will provide for them.
Tyrannomon came storming off after both Gatomon and Patamon once again. The duo jumped off, which caught Tyrannomon by surprise. He looked up as they unleashed their attacks. Unlike their encounter with Gorillamon, their attacks were able to knock out Tyrannomon. Their strength has increased due to this harsh training and it was really paying off.
"Yeah! We did it!" Patamon exclaimed. "We're stronger than we were before!"
"I'm so proud of myself. I think we are ready for Leomon's training. It has already been six months pass and we still haven't seen him."
"I wonder where he could be hiding?"
Leomon stood on top of a nearby mountain with TK and Kari. A smile formed across his face.
"They've managed to survive," TK said. "Wow! I'm so proud of them!"
"Well, you did make a promise to train them if they had survived these last few months."
"Yes. They seem to be getting this down. Well then, it's time to begin testing them for real. Let the training begin."
"Yay!"
xxxxx
And so now, the real training begins for Patamon and Gatomon. Will they be willing to put up with Leomon and his training? Will it pay off, for when they face off against the invaders? They have another six months in order to find out. Hurry up, guys! Time is wasting for the digital world.

Free Your Mind! The Harsh Training of Hell!
xxxxx
The training grounds were beautiful and peaceful as it always was. There were no signs of any particular activity taking place since the Gorillamon incident six months ago. All of that peace and quiet would once again give way to a loud eruption and the clash of punches being thrown at rapid speed. The mountains were slightly shaking as a result from the after effects.
Gatomon and Patamon pounced right after their sparring instructor, Leomon. With rapid speed, they attacked the brave warrior head on with a barrage of attacks. Leomon easily countered each of their blows and didn't break a sweat. TK and Kari were looking on from a safe distance. They were anxious to see if their training would pay off.
As soon as the duo went for another frontal attack, Leomon smirked and quickly phased away quickly. This managed to catch the two off guard. Gatomon jumped down as she looked around and could not pick up Leomon's scent.
"Hey! Where did he go?"
"Gatomon, we better keep an eye-"
But just as Patamon was about to finished, Leomon reappeared behind Patamon and delivered a chop to the back of his head. Gatomon managed to react, but Leomon kicks her away as if she were a soccer ball.
"You two better look around you!"
"But you went too fast! We couldn't see you!" Patamon grumbled.
"You shouldn't see. You should be able to feel my presence."
"We'e tried doing that, but you're too darn fast!" Gatomon replied. "Give us a break here!"
Leomon took that to consideration as he shoots out two energy beams from his eyes. The beams came shooting out and blasted the duo. Gatomon and Patamon were laid out from the beams. Leomon stood tall with a disappointed look on his face.
"Now thats some harsh training," TK remarked. "I wouldn't want to be Patamon right about now."
"Or Gatomon for that matter," said Kari.
"If you two have time to complain, then you have time to act!" Leomon bellowed. "Remember this, you only have six more months left. You will eat, sleep and fight with me! Prepare yourselves! I didn't pick you two just because I like you!"
"ugh. You could have told us that," the feline muttered.
"No kidding. We'll die. We can't endure training this harsh," said Patamon.
"Either that or become stronger, especially when you digivolve. You two are to be stronger than me and the two invaders who come to destroy us."
The two digimon stood with dumbfounded looks on their faces. Leomon took advantage of this as he began another frontal assault on the duo. They reacted and started to maneuver away from the warrior's attacks.
"You two call that defense?! Concentrate! That's not enough! Look! I'm trying to kill you! Attack me!"
TK and Kari cringed as they watched their digimon attempt everything to block out ever one of Leomon's attacks. The training would soon intensify as the months pass by. It would only be a matter of time before Patamon and Gatomon would become strong enough to defend the digital world against the digital invaders. But little did TK know that his own brother was among those invaders. He couldn't imagine if his brother was apart of the invaders, but it would soon commence and he would soon find out the truth behind his brother's sudden 'disappearance'.
xxxxx
Meanwhile, from the Other World, War Greymon and Tai were still traveling along the long roadway for the past six months. It was a long road, but they have finally managed to make it towards the end. War Greymon fell down in exhaustion, while Tai wiped his sweaty forehead. He looked up and focused to see a floating planet.
"Yes! We did it! We're finally here, War Greymon."
"It's about time! I thought I was going to die."
"Heh. Luckily the nice people around the pit stops were able to give us free food. I guess X had let them know ahead of time that we were traveling to see him."
"Yeah. I don't think we could have survived without those meals. But we can finally say that we did it."
"Wanna bet where we could find the planet?"
"Where? Cause I don't see anything at the end of this road. X said that it was at the end of the road."
"It's above us, you goof."
"Ah! There it is! C'mon, there's no time to waste. Grab on and I'll use whatever strength I have left to get us up there!"
"Go for it!"
With that said, War Greymon snatched up Tai onto his shoulder and soars up towards the floating planet. Tai cheered on as War Greymon flew up closer towards X's planet. They looked down as they found a home, but were amazed that such a planet was tiny. Just then, a force of strong gravity pulled them down.
"Ahh! What's going on, War Greymon?!"
"The gravity on this small planet is strong! it's pulling us in as if it were a magnet! I can't resist it! Hang on!"
They landed onto the planet with an unforgiving fall. The fall caused tremendous amounts of pain to their bodies as they strained to get back up onto their feet. War Greymon attempted to pull himself up but the force was holding him down. Tai strained with his strength and his face turned red as a result.
"Damn! This gravity is too strong! How the hell can X ever live on this planet?!" Tai muttered.
War Greymon slowly made it up to his feet and held his own against the strong gravity force. He reaches over, picks up Tai and places him onto his back.
"My whole body feels like lead," the mega replied. "I wonder where X is. We've got to talk about this gravity."
"So, you two managed to make it here. Excellent work. Anybody would have made by the end of the road before they grow old and become deceased. Nobody but myself have managed to travel this road. That is until you two were able to cross this road. I commend you, but I had a feeling you would have made it."
"So, was that like a first part of our training," Tai asked. "Because that sure wasn't something I'd like to call a warm-up."
"You have completed that first section of the training. With that out of the way, I think it is the perfect time to start the second part. Are you up for it?"
"Just one question. Why do you look like that guy from G-Gundam? I swear you look like him."
"Look, Tai! I'm not going to say it again! I may look like that masked dude, but I'm not that same guy! Besides, I'm real and he's not."
"But you sure do look like him."
"Seriously, I could unmask myself if I wanted to, but I would just reveal my secret identity. However, my identity isn't important. What we need to do now is begin your training."
"Alright, but don't take War Greymon lightly. He's ready for anything. We might have been unprepared for Neo Devimon, but we'll be ready for this incoming invasion by these creeps. Patamon and Gatomon are getting trained, right?"
"Yes and they are ahead of us. We really need to get this over with. Now, I want War Greymon to train to attack me head on. Let's see how good you really are."
"Well, I could attack, but I feel so heavy here. I can barely move my body."
"I realize that since you were from the lower regions of the digital universe. You wouldn't be strong enough to endure this much gravity. No wonder you can't move."
"Care to explain to us about this planet of yours," Tai asked.
"Sure. This is my home planet. I live here since I can see a good view of nearly the entire digital universe. It's a very small planet, but it has very powerful gravity. It's about ten times more than from any digital plane within the lower realm and it's gravity is even greater than that of earth's. You two weigh ten times as much. You two try to jump as high as you can."
"Alright."
The duo prepared to jump with everything their body would muster, but it was all to no avail. They couldn't even jump an inch from the ground.
"Damn! It's no good," said Tai. "We can hardly get up!"
"Hmm, they're attempting to jumping that far in ten times their usual gravity? This is going to be an interesting six months."
"So, what's it going to be?" Tai asked once again. "Are we going to get the training or not? Though, I'll admit that this gravity isn't doing us favors."
"Alright, I'll give War Greymon the lessons. So, how much time do we have left again?"
"I don't know the full detail," the goggle boy replied. "Plus, I've lost count on the many days we've spent traveling on that roadway. But I don't think there is time left."
"He's right. As you know, those two invaders are coming to the lower realm and they're going to destroy it. Just teach us as much as you can, in the little time we've got left."
"Invaders, huh? Yeah, I've seen what they are capable of. I've been watching them. They're bad SOBs. I'm glad I was able to find you."
"Could you tell us when they are due on the lower realm?"
"Sure, Tai. I can learn when they arrive on the lower realm. Usually, my predictions come true."
X looked out towards the skies as he began picking up a pair of very strong chis traveling through the outer regions of the digital universe. He looks through their travelling route and he locates it directly towards the lower realm itself. He turned to face the duo as he began to speak.
"Oh yeah. We've got some flying invaders alright. They're on a pace towards the lower realm in about 158 earth days."
"Wow! That's cool! You're able to know when a person comes and goes from a certain point within the digital universe," Tai said.
"Now, it's going to be 158 earth days?"
"Oh don't worry about it, War Greymon. It'll be more than enough. To be precise, 158 earth days with me is like a few thousand digital earth years of training on earth."
"Whoa! No kidding?!" the boy exclaimed with joy.
"Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to win against them," X replied. "These invaders are very strong, but not as strong as me. I could have kicked their asses in a heartbeat."
"I wouldn't doubt that," Tai said. "You're the man! You practically can see nearly the entire digital universe and can predict time."
"Well, I can't predict time. I'm not god you know. Now,if you have any hopes of beating them, then you two will train under my wing. Shall we get started?"
"So, what now?"
"I think it's time that I show you how to free your mind."
"Free my mind?"
"Yes, Tai. We'll use this training stimulation program. It's one of my favorites and I hope you'll like it too."
X walks over and places a cd into a laptop. He then types in a password and uploads the stimulation program. Tai and War Greymon watched as the whole planet turned into the top of a building. X faces them as he finishes the upload.
"Whoa! This is some cool shit!" Tai exclaimed. "I wish I had something like this! But haven't I seen this in a movie before?"
"Yeah, The Matrix. It inspired me to create this program."
"So, why do I have to free my mind?"
"Tai, until you and War Greymon can overcome this gravity, there's no point in anything else. Your first lesson is to simply free your mind."
X raced across the building and phases out towards the other side of another building within mere seconds. This caught both War Greymon and Tai by surprise. X faced them with a smirk.
"Alright, Tai! Your turn!"
"Ok, free my mind. Free my mind. I got it. I got this."
"Hmmm. I wonder if he'll make it? Nobody ever makes it over on their first try. Nobody. We'll just see how this plays out,"the masked man thought.
Tai dashed across and goes to jump off, but he found himself not even jumping across and falling towards the ground. He screamed and fell through the concrete floor, though it became a blubbery substance and bounced Tai back out. Tai fell face first and noticed that some blood was in his mouth.
"Hey! This is a stimulation program! It's not supposed to be real!"
"Your mind makes it real."
"So, it proves Izzy's theory that if I were to get hurt here then I'll be severely injured in the other world."
"He's right," X said. "Your body can't live without the mind. If your mind is not strong enough, then your body will fail."
"Man, I'm not so sure if I can do this."
"Yes, you can. Tai, you and War Greymon have to do this. Trust me. I know what I'm doing. This training will help you once the time comes to stop the invaders. Please, do this for Sora."
Just then, Tai's eyes opened as he heard the name of the girl who he considered his closest friend. He had to do this to protect everyone of his friends, including his sister and Sora.
"So, what's it going to be Tai?"
"I'll continue. I'll do what it takes to protect my friends. Especially my sister and not to mention, Sora!"
The girl's name brought a smile to X's face and he begins to become impressed with the boy's sudden resurgence to defend his loved ones.
"I'd knew you would come through. You were the right choice. Protect Sora at all costs."
X turns off his stimulation program and everything returns to normal. Tai and War Greymon find themselves back on the planet. Tai gets up and walks over to X slowly.
"X, don't you get bored on this small planet?"
"No way. Let's put it this way, to an enlightened mind such as myself, the smallest world holds fascination without end. I can see nearly the entire digital universe and I can pick up nearly every known activity that occurs. Besides, I love training myself here. I still need to work my body out, so I can maintain my power. Now let's go on and try that stimulation program again. Otherwise, our training stops here."
"We'll do our best."
"Oh and War Greymon? I'd keep that heavy armor on. It'll be better exercise that way."
"What?! But with these on, I can hardly move."
"Let me tell you something, the world where the invaders came from has gravity at least as great as this."
"Oh. I see."
"Do you begin to see where they get their great strength? Not to mention their inborn fighting instincts. You can't imagine how deadly they are."
"Alright! I say we work our asses off! C'mon, War Greymon! We've got some training to do! We're going to be complete bad-asses after this training gets done!"
"I'm with you! Let's do it!"
"That's the spirit, guys. Now you're talking my language. How I've missed when he used to say that…"
xxxxx
Back in the lower realm, Gatomon and Patamon were both sporting heavy bruises across their faces. They had taken a hard beating after their training with the strict teacher, Leomon. They had never been with such a stern instructor and under serious training such as this. TK and Kari nearly took it hard and they were eyewitnesses to the training sessions that took place. But they knew it was the best for their digimon, in order to help them get stronger.
"Well, at least these six months managed to toughen up you two. I'm glad you're not whining like you were during the first month."
"Yeah, but you knew that we were going to get tougher," Patamon replied.
"We're not as weak as you claim us to be," the feline said. "Tell me. You fought many warriors before, right?"
"I fought to survive. But now, I fight to make myself stronger and I feel good about it. My arch nemesis is named Ogremon. He and I have fought many battles and I clobber him nearly every time. It was an endless battle and I've thrived for better challenges, which is when Neo Devimon arrived. I finally found a challenge and eventually helped you to defeat him. That was my biggest victory to date."
"I see. What are our chances of beating these invaders?"
"I'd say we have a chance once War Greymon returns, but chances are still kind of slim. We'll just see what happens from here."
Gatomon and Patamon looked towards each other. They were now beginning to wonder how they will manage to increase their power to the way they wanted and they were still not sure if these invaders were strong enough to exterminate them. Kari and TK were also thinking of the same thing. Could they actually pull off a victory and win?
xxxxx
Forty days and forty nights have passed since Tai's arrival on X's planet, War Greymon had continued his training. He and Tai were able to perfect the stimulation programs and easily freed their minds.
War Greymon and Tai both jumped over numerous of holographic buildings and fought their way through stimulated enemy digimon.
"Whew! What a work out, War Greymon! I'd say we recommend everyone to this back home! This beats any video game! X! We've perfected this program. Nobody can top us now!"
"Except me, of course."
"Well, no doubt. You're the one who made created this program. You think you could go back home with me and we could make huge bucks off of this bad boy?"
"I would and I think that's one hell of an idea, but my programs are not for sale. Sorry, man."
"No sweat. I can understand. I wouldn't want any grubby hands to downgrade this thing. Man! We managed to overcome all of these obstacles, War Greymon! I think we're ready for almost anything now."
"You're right. I feel a lot lighter and I think my strength has increased. X sure wasn't kidding about the gravity here. It has really helped."
"Yeah, he's as great as I hoped. I knew I picked the right Digi-Destined. There's only 118 days left remaining and he could be the one to master the ultimate technique. I just know it and I trust in him."
"So, what else is there to learn from? I'm anxious to know," War Greymon asked.
"So, you think you're ready?! Well, my training is much tougher than you can imagine! You really think that you can take it?"
"We're ready. He's ready," Tai said. "We'll give it a shot!"
"But let me warn you! You have to be the best! You have to be the greatest fighter known in the digital universe! You have to be physically and mentally strong in every other way!"
"Let's do it!"
"But first, let's get something to eat. My stomach is really kicking my ass."
This caused War Greymon and Tai to both fall on their backs in disbelief. X walks off as his grumbling stomach was heard throughout the planet.
xxxxx
Back in the lower realm, the Digi-Destined watched as their digimon finished their hard training with Andromon, Piximon and Centaurumon.
"Thank you all for sparring with us," Andromon said. "We really appreciate it. We kindly ask you to let us handle it. We couldn't take it if you children were to get involved.
"But, Andromon, what if you end up getting killed?" Mimi asked. "We couldn't take if any of you died."
"It's better than to see you all perish. You children are very valuable to the digital world. Please try to understand," said Centaurumon.
"Well, it seems the students have far surpassed the teacher. This is my gratitude to you. You've made me proud," Piximon said.
"Piximon. Not you too," Sora replied.
There was sudden sadness upon the entire Digi-Destined. Their digimon helped train with the strong trio, but they were told not to interfere with the battle. This was best for the children, especially since they are considered a valuable asset in saving the entire digital world. Without them, the digital world would be in shambles.
"Just leave the future of this world in our hands now," Andromon replied. "We will help your allies."
"Good luck, and thank you," Sora said. "Tai. Why haven't you returned yet? I thought you'd be back by now.."
xxxxx
Elsewhere, Gatomon and Patamon were easily keeping up with Leomon's training. They were getting faster and stronger after each session. It was only a matter of time before they would match up against Leomon.
"Yes! You're gaining control of your energy! Keep it up! You two are doing it!"
xxxxx
Back in the other world, X sparred with War Greymon and easily countered the mega with an incredible energy blast. War Greymon was sent flying back from the tremendous blast, and it left Tai speechless.
"No! Damn it! That's not enough, War Greymon! You're going to have to concentrate if you hope to stand up against the invaders!"
xxxxx
And so the battle hour draws near. Our heroes train hard and gain control of their energy. However, the invaders are getting closer to the lower realm. In just a few days, they will land on the lower realm and begin their path of destruction. Can our heroes stop them in time?

X: Yo, this is X! My greatest students, Tai and War Greymon, have now completed their training and they are on their way home. But little do they realize that the invaders have now arrived in the lower realm.
War Greymon: Tai! We better hurry! I'm sure those invaders will get a good kick out of the new technique I've obtained.
Tai: You said it! Let's go!
Leomon: Damn! I thought we would have more time! The invaders have landed and they're stronger than I've imagined!

The Arrival of the Digital Invaders! TK realizes the truth!
xxxxx
Deep within the far regions of digitsl space, the deadly duo were still traveling through as they continued their conquest towards the lower realm. It was only a matter of time before they would reach their destination. They found themselves getting closer and closer as the days go by. However, the lower realm's strongest forces were getting themselves prepared and they were ready for the incoming invaders. Amongst those warriors was the mega, who represented courage.
Back in the other realm, War Greymon had continued his tough training with the masked warrior known as X. The mega held his arms up as an aura of blue energy radiated over his clawed hands. As soon as he raised his hands higher, the aura exploded into a bright light that emulated across the planet. Now his hands were fizzled with that pure, blue energy. He looked down at them with great awe. He then pulls his fist up as if he were prepared for another training session.
"Alright, X! I'm ready and set to go!"
"Then, let's begin! Catch this large stone at super speed!"
X used a strong kinetic force which helps him to lift a large heavy stone with tremendous ease. It seems that X has definitely trained his telekinetic powers to perfection. He also developed a strong telepathic force which allows him to read other people's minds. He held the stone in place and with one smooth wave, he sent the stone hurtling towards War Greymon. Tai stood by as he looked on with anticipation. War Greymon stood by as the stone hurtled through past him. The mega picks up one arm and gathers some energy.
"Now! Let's up it mach 5!"
War Greymon felt the stone's presence without blinking and effortlessly throws a ki blast over at the stone's direction. The ki collided with the stone and it exploded on contact. X and Tai looked on with awe looks.
"He..He did it.." Tai muttered.
"No kidding. I knew he was going to improve," X replied. "He just needed that proper training."
"Way to go, War Greymon!"
"I must agree," the masked man said. "I never thought that anyone else could master the 'Life Bomb' technique so quickly. It took me quite a while to perfect it. It only takes a person of pure heart to do so."
"So, a person with evil in their hearts can't use it?"
"No, Tai. It will result in death for that person. The Life Bomb only answers to those with pure hearts and it erases every evil essence within that person's heart. This is why I choose War Greymon to use such an advanced technique."
"Would I be able to use it?" the goggle boy asked.
"It depends. You will have to erase every greedy thought and you have to be clear of any corrupted influences. There's a possibility that you could."
"Wow! Thats awesome!"
"But you guys have to remember this. The Life Bomb is a martial arts discipline that allows you to borrow the energy from every living creature, whether they are biological or digital. That includes everything from the trees, the sun, the animals, the atmosphere and the grass, then you must concentrate and release that energy. If War Greymon was able to draw enough energy to create such a ball that he created, then just imagine how large it will be back in the lower realm. You must be careful with this technique, because you could also endanger the world you're trying to protect. It could lead to planetary destruction."
"Right! We understand."
"Don't use it if you can avoid it. I'm giving you permission to use it only once, when there is no alternative left."
"No problem, I'll just stick to using the gravity force techniques."
"Well, this is it, guys. The day of the battle has finally come. The invaders will reach the lower realm by tomorrow. Uh?! Ah, crap! Why me?!"
"What's wrong, X?!" Tai asked. "Is there something the matter?"
"Damn! I should have done this before our training! I forgot to factor in the time It'd take you to go back on the long road!"
"Can't you just take us to the lower realm?!" the mega asked. "We have to go on the road again?! It took us six earth months to get here in the first place!"
"At your current speed, you'll manage to make it through in two days," X replied. "I'll let Gennai know to pick you up."
"But that's a day late!" Tai exclaimed. "The lower realm will be history!"
"Okay, so I made a mistake! Damn! I just hope your friends are well prepared! These two invaders are not going to be a walk in the park."
"I thought you would take us home with ease," said War Greymon.
"This is a battle you must participate alone. I can't interfer anymore. This is a realm which you two must protect. I only train people. You two have been my greatest students and I'm proud to have taken you as my pupils."
"Thanks, X. We've a lot from you and we won't let these techniques go to waste," the mega replied. "We'll make sure to stop those invaders and protect our loved ones."
"Yes, especially Sora."
"How do you know about Sora?"
"Tai. I foresee everything that occurs on the lower realm. I've seen how you were willing to risk your life to save hers. I saw what you did when Datamon kidnapped Sora. I've seen it all. It makes me proud to know that a boy with as much courage as you do is out there protecting his loved ones."
"She and I are childhood friends. We've known each other for a long time."
"I can tell. But how do you really feel about her?"
"How do I feel about her?"
"It's okay. You can tell me the truth. Don't be embarrassed to say anything."
"Well, she's a very kind and sweet person. She's always been there whenever I'm depressed and she really likes my little sister. When we arrived in the digital world, she served the role as a surrogate mother. When I left the digital world, she managed to keep everyone together in the end. She doesn't have the crest of love for nothing. She really does love everyone of us, but I think she has a place in her heart for me. I know I have a place in my heart for her. We're connected, though we might not want to admit it. She still thinks I'm childish and a cocky fool, but I think it's my tremendous courage which attracts her."
"Courage and love? Yes, they do go together."
"How so?"
"You as a courageous young love will one day have the courage to admit your love towards the girl that you solely love. Please, do take good care of her. Do it for me. I'd like that."
"I will, X. I'll protect her with my life."
"I see a bright future with you two. Please, do not screw it up. I say this because one day, somebody that you know will be waiting."
"Who?"
"You'll know who. What you need to worry about is saving your friends from the invaders. You can't let them alter your future."
"Yes. War Greymon, I think it's time we show these assholes what we're able of! X.."
"Tai.."
"Thank you for everything."
"Likewise."
The two shook each other's hands in a bond of friendship. Tai runs over to War Greymon and hops onto his back. X gives a thumbs up to the duo. Tai returns the favor to the masked warrior and grasps tightly onto War Greymon's back. The mega powers up and launches off of the planet. War Greymon dove down and starts flying over the roadway with tremendous speed.
"Tai! I can't believe how fast we're traveling! I feel as light as a cotton ball!"
"I can hardly believe it myself. This is incredible. Don't worry, X. We won't let you down. We've got no time to play around, War Greymon! We've got a digital world to save!"
With that said, War Greymon boosted his speed and traveled faster than the eye can see it. The mega hoped that he would travel over the roadway in a day's time rather than two whole days. This would enable them to get by towards the middle sector where they would be picked up by Gennai and transported back home. The duo hoped that they were not too late.
xxxxx
However, the next day, the event had finally occured and the digital world's darkest hour had arrived. Two space pods hurtled through the atmosphere and smashed themselves into a city populated by digimon. The digimon citizens started running for their lives as the pods caused major impacts in the ground. Everyone started gathering around as the space pods were starting to power down.
"What was that?" asked a Frigimon.
"Were those bombs sent from the skies above? Are we being attacked?" a Gekkomon asked.
"Dear goddramon, it looks like something feel from the sky. But what would these be?"
"There's two of them! They're digimon aliens! We better get a picture of these for our photo album."
Suddenly, the pods started to open as figures slowly walked out from out of them. In one pod, a large Etemon came walking out with an arrogant grin. The other one opened and released a Metal Garurumon with a blond-haired boy.
"Uh? There's a human boy with that digimon alien!"
"A human boy?! But how could a human boy come from digital space? Unless he was recruited by email."
Matt looked up and gave them a cold stare with his icy, blue eyes. This gave the digimon bad vibes. The boy and the digimon duo came walking out from the impact craters with grins on their faces.
xxxxx
Just then, Leomon and the other digimon sensed the strong chis from a very far distance. Gatomon and Patamon gasped as they felt the two frightening powers. TK and Kari were now starting to get worried over the situation.
"Guys? What's wrong?" TK asked. "Is it time?"
"Have they finally arrived?" asked Kari.
"Yes. At last, they've arrived," Leomon replied. "I can't believe how strong their chi is."
"They're enormous!" Patamon exclaimed. "Plus, there's two of them!"
"I just wonder how much stronger we'll get once we digivolve," pondered Gatomon. "I just hope it's enough to match up with these guys."
The digimon trio were not the only ones who felt the two strong chis. From every part of the digital world, other digimon felt their powerful presence. Andromon, Piximon and Centaurumon were ones that felt the invader's presences.
xxxxx
Even the Digi-Destined's digimon were able to trace their chi. If everyone of the digimon were able to sense them, then these invaders were obviously a global threat.
"Sora! It's them!"
"Who? Did War Greymon and Tai come back?"
Biyomon sweatdropped as she sighed in disbelief. This indicated that something terrible was going to happen and this did not suite well for the group.
"You don't mean that the invaders actually have arrived?" Joe asked.
"Like it or not, but i's the truth," Gomamon replied. "They're here and I'm willing to bet that they're not here to throw out the red carpet to be greeted."
"I hope Kari and TK get out of there," Mimi said. "Those two are likely to get hurt."
"You're right. We can pick up their locations using my laptop. Since I'm able to trace the location of a person's digivice, we're likely to go and find them."
"Good thinking, Izzy," Tentomon replied.
"Yeah, we definitely will need that. Alright guys, we're moving out," Sora said.
Everyone nodded as they prepared to move out with their digimon over towards the location of TK and Kari. They had to move quickly before the enemy invaders beat them to the punch. Unfortunately, they did not realize that one of the enemies was once a friend of theirs. How will they react once they realize that Matt has become the enemy?
xxxxx
The invaders stood amongst the digimon city with evil grins on their faces. Etemon turns his attention towards a crowd and snickers. The crowds were talking amongst themselves as if they were ants and began to question whether these 'aliens' were friendly.
"So, here we are? Back to where I came from," Matt said. "This place hasn't changed that much."
"Yes, I've hoped that the digimon here would have gotten stronger in our absence," Metal Garurumon replied.
"So? Should we greet these little insects? I don't think they'll want to listen to a number one hit of mine?"
With that said, Etemon lifted a single finger and released a massive wave of chi energy. The crowd screamed as the energy expanded into an explosive blast. Etemon snickered as the blast engulfed the entire city and started to blast away the digimon that once inhabited it. A view of the digital world is shown with a massive light emerging from the surface. This indicated how great Etemon's power was.
xxxxx
Soon, even Leomon and his allies were beginning to feel the explosion's after effects. Leomon stood his ground as Gatomon and Patamon protected their human partners from being knocked back by flying debris.
"Damn! This is some awesome power!" Leomon exclaimed.
xxxxx
Everything that was once a great city was now left in a pile of rubble and shambles. Etemon levitated from above the ground. He looked down with satisfaction. Metal Garurumon, with Matt on his back, were not were pleased from the actions of the monkey.
"Ha! Ha! I guess my number one hit was a little too much for them! Ha! Don't you guys think?"
"End it here, monkey boy," Matt ordered. "You'll destroy portions of this world. We plan on selling it, so you better not devastate such a fine planet. It looks very valuable at a high price if kept clean."
"Good point! And before we sell this realm, we still have to find those digicores," Etemon replied. "We'll take them from those holy beasts."
"Digicores. The one who killed Neo Devimon will know where they are."
"If one of those digicores has been here, then we would have screwed ourselves over," Matt replied. "That would be because of your stupid number one hit."
"You're right. I wasn't really thinking there."
"Just search for the highest power readings of this realm," Matt said. "He'll have to be the one who killed Neo Devimon. Unless it was my brother's digimon. TK, I'm here to take you back with me."
"Guys. There's something strange over towards my left. There are readings over 1000, more than one of them. But how would digimon here get so powerful?"
"Don't worry about it," said Matt. "They're not our enemies. Just find the one with the highest reading-"
Matt's device was able to pick up three high chi readings over towards one location. It was obvious who these three readings were coming from.
"Ah!There! There are three high readings and they are close together! Let's go Etemon and pay our respects."
"Oh! This is so great! The gravity is so low here! I feel light as a feather!" Etemon exclaimed.
The duo set off towards their next destined location. Etemon and Metal Garurumon flew off faster than the eye could see them disappear. They were much too fast for any digimon to keep up with. However, this was not a problem for a few of the warrior digimon that inhabited this lower realm.
xxxxx
Centaurumon felt the two chis traveling through the realm and he was very surprised by their level of powers.
"They're moving in! I better follow along and locate their destination."
xxxxx
Piximon and Andromon flew out and followed the chi. They would then locate to where they were heading to. They also masked their chi, in order to keep themselves hidden.
"Piximon! They're here and we better not hesitate!"
"Yes! We didn't train all those months for nothing! We deserve a moment to protect this planet too. We simply can't risk the other children to get themselves involved. We owe it to them."
xxxxx
Elsewhere, the other Digi-Destined were traveling by land and air along with their digivolved digimon. Izzy places Neo Devimon's scouter device over his face and activates it.
"We can also locate the enemy using the device we took," Izzy said. "We're going, though there's nothing we can do."
"He's right," Kabuterimon said. "The enemies are powerful and beyond our comprehension. We'd only get in our friend's way. All we can do now is pray."
"Oh, Kari. TK. Please don't get yourselves involved in this. I'd just hate to see kids their age in the line of fire," said Sora.
"Tai will so kill us if he finds out that his sister gets killed!" Mimi replied.
"Oh, Tai. Where are you?" pondered Sora.
xxxxx
Back on the roadway, War Greymon was still traveling through in hopes of making it towards the battle in time. It has been nearly a day and he was still on the roadway. It seemed to go on forever, but they would soon find themselves at the check-in station and been transported back to the lower realm through Gennai.
"Hang in there, guys! We're coming!" Tai cried out. "Faster, War Greymon! The enemies must have arrived!"
xxxxx
Later that day, the birds and animals started fleeing as the battle stage was beginning to get underway. Leomon removed his sword and threw it to the ground. Gatomon and Patamon were preparing to digivolve.
"Theres no need to be afraid," Leomon replied. "we've become far stronger in this one earth year."
"It seemed like forever," Tk said. "Hey, I haven't even had a birthday! I guess I don't age until like another ten thousand years."
"You're kind of over exaggerating. Would you believe that we would be ten thousand years old," Kari stated. "I mean we'd be that old, yet we're still under agedkids?"
"We'd be the youngest elders ever!"
"We've shown a lot of improvements," said Gatomon. "Lets just see how powerful we've become once we digivolve."
"TK? Don't you think it's time?"
"What do you think, Leomon? Should they or should they not," the boy asked the brave warrior.
"Yes. It would be the perfect time now. Let them digivolve."
"Now that's what I want to hear!" TK exclaimed. "Alright, Patamon! Show your stuff!"
With that said, the children pulled their digivices and watched as they started to glow. TK's digivice lit up and released energy to allow Patamon to digivolve into his champion-level form.
"Patamon shinka!"
The tiny digimon transformed into a human-like warrior with angel wings, a muscular body, a helmet over his face and an angel rod formed in his hands. The angelic warrior stood before TK with a holy presence.
"Angemon!"
"Wow! Look at you!" Gatomon said. "I feel your power. You've definitely gotten stronger. Now it's my turn, Kari."
"Go for it!"
"Gatomon super shinka!"
Kari's digivice and crest lit up as they released a twin beam of energy. The energy waves showers over Gatomon as she begins her evolution into her ultimate-level form. Her cat-like appearance evolves into that of a human-like appearance. She stood tall with long, golden blonde hair and angelic, blue eyes. Her model-like figure sprouted with white cleavage covering her body. Like Angemon, a helmet covered her face and wings sprouted from her back.
"Angewomon!"
"Angewomon! Your power has gotten very impressive, but it looks like we'll finally test out our new power," Angemon said.
"Why do you say that?"
"Small talk is over," Leomon said. "Angemon is right. You will have a chance to test out your new powers because the enemies have arrived."
Everyone gasped as they looked up to see Etemon and Metal Garurumon. TK looked up and saw a blonde-haired boy. His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. He saw an image of his own brother. In fact, it was Matt!
"Matt... Matt..."
"TK? What's wrong?" Angemon asked.
"It's Matt! He's up there with them!"
"What?! That's crazy!" Kari exclaimed.
"Heh. There they are," Etemon chuckled. "I see three digi-shrimps and two kiddies."
"Huh? Ah, I see him. That boy down there is my little brother, TK."
"That kid. So the Angemon is his digimon?"
"Yeah. It seems that they've been expecting us."
"So, those are the invaders?!"Angemon said to himself. "I can feel their aura. They're so demonic. I can't believe TK's brother has joined the enemy."
The enemies levitated down as they landed and faced off against Leomon, Angemon and Angewomon. The invaders sported grins on their faces as if they were laughing at their so-called competition.
"TK. We meet again, brother," Matt said.
The boy was speechless and couldn't even mutter a single word. This was totally unexpected. TK did not know how to feel about this and began to walk away. Kari grasped his hand.
"Don't let them scare you. He might be your brother, but he's joined the enemy. We're going to have to fight them. Remember, what I said. Remember what we talked about."
"Yeah."
"So, have you been preparing for us," Matt asked.
"You bet and we're ready to rumble," Leomon replied.

The invaders have finally arrived and they face off against the realm's greatest warriors. How will TK overcome his fears and stand up against his own brother? Matt, please snap out of this and realize what you're doing! Hurry up, War Greymon! The others need you fast!

Let the Battle Begin! The Frightening Saibamon!
xxxxx
The battle was now set to get underway. The winds began to blow as dust settled along the dusty, grassland. The mountains stood tall from the horizons and the sun was shining over the humid grounds. The digital world was now set to be determined in an epic battle between several of it's greatest heroes against two powerful invaders, who plan on taking it. Leomon, Angemon and Angewomon faced off against Metal Garurumon and Etemon. TK and Kari looked on with anticipation.
"This is going to get ugly, Kari. I say we head for higher grounds. We'll just get in the way."
"Right. I'm with you."
With that said, the children ran off towards the far distance and prevented themselves from becoming casualties in the battle. The invaders paid no heed to them as they kept their eyes on their digimon adversaries. TK looked over at Matt. He couldn't believe that his own brother had turned to the evil side.
"Matt. How could you?"
"TK. Stay tough. I'm sure there's a way to get your brother back. I think he was influenced by some way."
"But I just feel guilty by having Angemon attack my brother's digimon."
"I don't think we relaly have a choice. We'll just see what goes from here."
"Ok, whatever you say."
"So, have you been preparing for us," Matt asked.
"You bet and we're ready to rumble," Leomon replied.
The invaders merely smirked by the brave warrior's words. Before anyone was going to make their first attack, Leomon spoke once again.
"Let's make this clear. What exactly do you want here?"
"So, that voice. You were the one who killed Neo Devimon," Matt said.
"Voice?"
"Didn't he tell you? These devices also provide as transmitters."
"So, where's your brother?" Etemon asked.
"So, I see that TK is with you. I'm glad that he's taken well care of," Matt stated.
"Leomon. We can't let them take TK," Angemon replied. "Something has possessed Matt for him to ever join such a ruthless group of thugs. We have to keep TK away from him at all costs."
"Agreed. I won't let him even touch a hair on TK until we bring him back to reality."
"Now. I ask of you two favors," Matt said. "First off, I want my brother back. He shouldn't be hanging around bad influences such as yourself. Then, I want you to tell us where we can find the digicores. I think that's a good deal, don't you think so?"
"So, you know about the digicores," Angewomon asked.
"Heh. Why else would we bother coming to this dump," Etemon replied. "Hand them over! Bring on all the pathetic warriors on this find. They're just slugs compared to us."
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're going to have to deal with the four holy beasts to take them," Leomon replied. "I don't think even the beasts will allow you three to enter their chambers. I'm not a protector of the digicores. I specialize in combat. I'll show you who is a slug."
"Well then. If you don't give us more information on the digicores, we'll just have to beat it out of you then," Matt replied.
Etemon's scouter device started going off as he managed to pick up the official readings of the trio. He smirked and did not seem worried.
"The Angemon has a 981 power level. The Angewomon has a power level of 1083. Pftt, the Leomon has a level at 1220. Idiots! Do you think you can challenge us with pathetic power levels like that?"
"Etemon. Take that damn thing off," Matt said.
"What?"
These wimps vary their powers to suit the battle. Trust me. I know what they are capable of. Those numbers are worthless."
"Yeah, I remember that you were once on their side. That weakling Neo Devimon probably got himself killed for relying on that scouter's numbers. He got caught off guard as a result."
"So, he's a weakling?" Leomon asked.
"Yeah. I saw you and War Greymon get clobbered by that guy," Angewomon said. "So he calls him a 'weakling'?"
"Why don't we see what they can really do?" Metal Garurumon asked. "Then we'll ask for TK and the digicores."
"By the way, didn't you carry six seeds of those Saibamon," the blonde-haired boy asked.
"Heh. I really love the way you think, Yamato," Etemon replied.
"Saibamon?" the brave warrior pondered.
"What are those?" Angemon said.
"Oh yeah. There's six alright," Etemon said.
The monkey pulled out a jar packed with six seeds. He smirked as he took a glance at the seeds and opened the top. He then knelt to the ground and poked six holes into the soil. Etemon picks up each seed and places them into each of the holes. After that, he piles some dirt over each planted seed. He grabs a small water bottle and drops several water drops over the buried seeds. Etemon gets up off the ground and faces Matt.
"There. That should do it. We'll just kick back and watch the show."
Just then, the ground quickly rumbled as green heads started popping out from the ground. The warriors glanced over and their eyes widened at what was emerging from the buried ground. Green, alien-like monsters sprouted from the dirt. They sported crimson eyes, large heads, clawed feet and hands and pointy, elf-like ears. They chattered amongst one another and faced their enemies.
"Ugh! I don't like the looks of those eyes!" TK cried out.
"Yuck. They're so ugly," Kari replied.
"So we're supposed to fight these things? They don't look so tough," Angewomon said.
"Stay on your feet and keep your guard up," Leomon stated.
"Those three," Matt said while pointing over at the trio. "They are your targets."
"This could be more difficult than we can imagine," said Angemon.
"So, are these things champion level or ultimate?"

Just then, every digimon stood by and felt several enormous chis heading for their direction. The heroic trio looked up to see none other than Andromon and Piximon flying down at their sides. The enemies were quite surprised to find more warriors to oppose them. However, there was another uninvited guest that came along. It was Centaurumon.
"Centaurumon!" Leomon exclaimed. "It's so good to see you my friend."
"Likewise, Leomon. I'm sorry that I'm late."
"No apologies needed."
"They just keep on coming, don't they?" Matt asked.
"Like a swarm of mosquitoes," said Etemon.
"Wait, weren't there supposed to be two invaders? That's one of the Digi-Destined children on their side? Why did he betray us?!" Andromon asked.
"It's a long story," Angewomon replied. "This has been nothing more than unexpected."
"Six of them! How perfect! That's the same number as these Saibamon," said Matt. "How about if each of you fights one at a time?"
"Yeah, for sport," Metal Garurumon replied.
"You call this a game?! How absurd! Let's just get this over with!" Leomon exclaimed.
"Yet, this could work for us," Angewomon said. "I mean Tai and War Greymon haven't returned yet."
"Fine. I'll go first," Andromon said. "Bring everything you got."
"Heh. Wait 'till those Saibamon surprise the hell out of that cocky punk," Etemon said.
"Fine. You take Andromon," Matt ordered. "Give him everything you got."
"Good luck, Andromon!" Piximon called out.
Andromon stood his ground as he faced off against the single Saibamon. The green monster made his first attack and launches himself right over at the cyborg. Andromon launches his 'Lightning Blade' attack and sent the Saibamon flying backwards. As soon as the creature was sent flying back, Andromon flies out after the monster. Saibamon lands on the ground and unleashes his 'Acid Spray' attack.
"Ah! What the hell?!"
Andromon jumps away as the acid lands on the ground. The acid goes eating it's way through the ground. The other warriors looked on with surprise and watched the ground get eaten up. Andromon launches himself over at the creature, which Metal Garurumon managed to watch. Andromon executes an elbow-shot that wrecked the hell out of the Saibamon. The creature goes flying back onto the ground with a bruised face. Etemon was shocked at what he just saw.
"Ugh! It can't be.."
"Alright! Way to go, my friend!" Piximon exclaimed.
"Well, that's Andromon for you!" TK said.
"Looks like we'll manage to plow through these freaks," Kair replied.
"Heh. Heh. It looks like they'll be able to entertain us a little bit afterall," Matt said to himself.
The Saibamon slowly crawled back onto his feet while the others looked on unwillingly. Andromon stood his ground once again and he was prepared for another attack. Matt slicked his hair back and was becoming dissatisfied with the creature's futile efforts.
"I gotta say this, Yamato! It's impossible! The Saibamon's power is over 1200. That's equal to Neo Devimon! Every one of them."
"Yeah, but Andromon's power is still greater. This doesn't surprise me. He took out Greymon and Garurumon at once. He swiped us all aside as if we were insects before."
"But, my data never showed that!"
"Well, could your data be ever so wrong?"
Just then, the Saibamon was back on his feet and was struggling to catch his breath. Andromon turned back to face his enemy. The warriors were surprised by the imp's resilience.
"Damn! That little imp is getting up! Keep your guard up, Andromon!" Piximon exclaimed.
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon's eyes flashed as a laser fired at the Saibamon and it quickly blew the imp into pieces. The imp exploded with all of his intestines and pieces of meat flying everywhere. The heroes looked on with disgust.
"What?! No way!" TK exclaimed. "Metal Garurumon just slaughtered that guy!"
"I couldn't even see him move," said Kari. "I think I'm going to be sick."
The Saibamon was now nothing more than a pile of slaughtered flesh and bone. The digimon were stunned by the metallic wolf's relentless assault. This was obviously Matt's way of showing his disapproval towards the creature's incompetence.
"Why in the hell did you order Metal Garurumon to kill him off?" Etemon asked.
"Andromon already had beaten him. It would've been a major waste of time," Matt replied. "Your comrade underestimated his doe. Didn't I tell him to go all out?"
"I can't believe that!" Angewomon said. "How could Matt do that? That was still a digimon."
"Hard to believe that a Digi-Destined would turn to the darkside," Andromon said.
"Metal Garurumon destroyed him with just a gesture. What power!" Leomon thought.
"So, who's next?" Matt pondered. "This time- hit with everything you've got!"
"Looks like I'm up to bat," the angelic woman said.
"Wail it to him, Angewomon!" the Digi-Destined of Light said.
"No. Let me do it," said Centaurumon. "I'll teach them that playtime is over."
"No, let me do it," Angewomon stated. "I can take him. I'm an ultimate just like they are.."
"You're a great asset to the Digi-Destined. However, I can not let these monsters go unpunished. They have trespassed on unknown grounds and they've come to take away the Holy Beast's digicores. I can not allow them to take our power sources away."
Centaurumon readied his arm blaster and stood against the invader group. Angewomon held back and allowed the champion to take her place.
"Now try me!"
"Ah. So you wanna play Mr. Hot Shot," Matt said. "Now that's more like it."
"Go on! Show 'em that the Saibamon are made of!" Etemon added.
Centaurumon stood his ground and faced off against another single Saibamon. The half horse beast went charging in towards the creature. The creature quickly fades out, but Centaurumon followed in suit. Angemon was caught completely off guard.
"They're gone!"
They're moving at super speed, Angemon," Leomon said. "You must feel their chi. If you concentrate hard enough, you'll sense them. Everyone else is doing it."
Centaurumon was blocking out everyone of the Saibamon's clawed atatcks during the phase out attack. The fighters traded blows with one another and each blow was manuevered. The Saibamon jumps up into the air and lands on top of a mountain. Centaurumon jumps up in pursuit. However, this was just a clever ploy by the creature. The Saibamon launched himself at Centaurumon. The beast man knew that this was coming and phased out from the attack. The creature was caught by surprise and turned to see Centaurumon above him. Centaurumon readies his blast and shoots out a powerful ray of energy towards the creature.
"Solar Ray!"
The blast connected with the Saibamon and he was quickly blasted down into the ground below. As the blast faded, there was a small crater with the Saibamon laid out. The invaders were completely shocked at the result.
"What? Again? I can't believe we're going to lose another one!" Etemon said. "I should have packed more when I had the chance."
Centaurumon landed on the ground and kicked some dirt over the fallen creature. He turned to face the invaders and began to speak.
"These monsters aren't as fearsome as you make them out to be. I'll take the other four myself.."
Suddenly, the Saibamon slightly moved his arm. Matt looked on towards the crater as a smile formed across his face.
"Heh. Seems that it's your turn to underestimate."
"What are you saying?!"
With that said, the Saibamon launched himself at Centaurumon and grasped itself tightly around the beast man. The others looked on with surprise as the Saibamon unleashed an explosive blast, which rocked Centaurumon back. The explosion covered the ground where the two once stood. each of the heroic digimon looked on and gasped in complete shock. Kari covered her eyes as TK held her back. As the dust clouds started to settle, there was nothing left of the two digimon. Matt nodded his head and sighed to himself.
"Now that is more like it."
Centaurumon was laying on the ground motionlessly and pieces of the Saibamon were scattered around the warrior's body. Leomon gasped as his own comrade was done in by the creature's Kamikaze technique.
"It-It just self-destructed! That's the Kamikaze technique!"
"No! Why did he just kill him?!" Kari cried. "I can't bear to see this!"
"Kari.."
"How could anyone be so cruel?!"
"Kari. I feel your pain," said Angewomon. "Please, hang in there. This is not over."
"No! He's dead! That creep just killed Centaurumon! I won't stand for this!"
"Centaurumon knew that this was going to happen! That's why he wouldn't let me do it,"Angewomon said to herself. "Don't worry, Kari. I will take care of this.."
"Do me a favor, crybaby. Pick up that piece of trash for me," Matt said.
"Shut up! I thought you would change and actually be a friend!" Angewomon cried out. "You don't deserve the crest of friendship! I'm going to shut you down! I'll make sure you stay away from Kari and your brother. TK doesn't deserve a brother like you! Get back! All of you!"
Angewomon flies out towards the invaders as she cups her hands forwards and unleashes a blast of holy energy. She then widens her beam and spreads it out. Matt, Metal Garurumon and Etemon were caught by surprise and were not expecting such an enormous blast from an ultimate-level angel. The enormous blast came closer towards the group.
"Piximon! Get back!" Andromon exclaimed. "it'll blow you to pieces!"
"That's tremendous power, but it lacks speed!" Leomon cried out. "It's like a cautious sign!"
"Angewomon! Go for it!" exclaimed Angemon.
"Kari! Your crest if reacting to Angewomon's power! Your anger just fueled her more power," TK said. "You're incredible!"
"I did that? I never thought that was possible. Please, don't miss this."
The remaining Saibamon managed to spread out and proceeded to avoid the blast. However, Angewomon had another agenda in mind. She waves her arms to the side and intercepted the blast over towards the sky and brings it down over the group. With one final wave, the blast spread into a shower of energy blasts. The invaders were not expecting such a 'curveball' by Angewomon. The blasts showered down and destroyed each of the last remaining Saibamon. Each were now disintegrated into digital data. However, there was no signs of the other three being effected by the blast. It seemed that they were done in as well. Metal Garurumon created a barrier to protect himself and Matt, while Etemon covered himself. As soon as the dust settled, nothing was left of the invaders but dust and scattered body parts. The heroes looked on with great approval.
"She did it!" TK cried out. "Kari! You and Angewomon did it!"
"Wow, we did all that? I can't believe it."
"Whew, I just missed one," said Angewomon.
"Way to go! Now we can kick back and celebrate," Angemon said.
Suddenly, a surviving Saibamon came flying out of nowhere and launches himself over at Angemon. The angelic warrior pulls out his staff and prepared to attack.
"It's the one that she missed!" Andromon exclaimed.
Just then, an arm grabbed the Saibamon. The creature looked up and found Leomon restraining him. The creature struggled to break free, but Leomon knees him in the gut and tosses him into the air.
"Die, demon! Fist of the Beast King!"
Leomon unleashed his patented technique and watched as the blast plowed right through the last Saibamon. The creature let out it's final screams as it was reduced to nothing more than ashes. The digimon sighed in great relief.
"Whoa. That was close. I knew that I would miss one," Angewomon said. "Nice shot, Leomon."
"We can relax now, Kari," TK said.
"Thank goodness."
"Well that's Leomon," Andromon said. "He manages to get all the fun in the end."
"Thanks, Leomon," Angemon. "We certainly weren't expecting that."
"True. That was certainly unpexecting. However, I was definitely expecting those other three to survive. I certainly needed a warm up for the real battle to begin."
The dust settled and it revealed three figures walking through the smoke. Matt and Etemon looked on with grins with Metal Garurumon following in suit. The heroes looked on with great shock across their faces. Kari was scared beyond her wits and buried her face on TK's shirt.
"Heh. Heh. I hope it will be a great battle," Matt replied. "You did say you wanted playtime to end, didn't you?"
"Haw. Haw. Now it's time for the real thing," Etemon said. "I'm ready to kick some ass."
"But that's not possible! Those enormous showering blasts didn't effect them at all," said Andromon.
"They must have taken those blasts head-on!" Piximon cried out.
"But I used up my full power," Angewomon muttered. "So these are what the invaders are truly capable of?"
"Let me do it. I'll kill all five of them at once," said Etemon.
"Go ahead," Matt said. "But spare TK's life. He's going with us afterall."
"No, he's not!" Angemon exclaimed. "You stay away from him."
"Heh. Thanks for letting me have the fun," Etemon said.
The monkey warrior stood his ground as he removed his shades and started powering up. A dark aura covered his body, which indicated his level of power. He takes a stance and increases his power tremendously and caused the ground to shake. Andromon felt the vibrations emitting from the ground and his eyes widened.
"The entire digital world is shaking!"
"Andromon! My powers won't obviously work on him!" Piximon exclaimed.
"This is insane!" Angemon cried out. "But I must protect TK and Kari at all costs!"
"I...I never thought it would be so much," said Leomon.
Etemon screams out and unleashes his potential power, which was easily detected by each of the digimon. Their eyes widened in disbelief by the sheer amount of power which Etemon was displaying.
"Here it comes! We're in for it now!" Leomon exclaimed.

Our heroes have lost Centaurumon, but the invaders lost their Saibamon. However, the real battle is about to be underway. Can they manage to overcome all odds and defeat the mighty Etemon? Will TK get through to his brother, Matt?!

SSJ4T: Looks like I'll be inviting Sonic the Hedgehog from the latest anime Sonic series called Sonic X.

Etemon screams out and unleashes his potential power, which was easily detected by each of the digimon. Their eyes widened in disbelief by the sheer amount of power which Etemon was displaying.
"Here it comes, you guys! We're in for it now!" Leomon exclaimed.
Etemon's body was much larger in size and his muscles grew ten times bigger than before. HIs face was larger and a sadistic grin formed. He strained as his body nearly reached it's full maximum power. He slowly started to speak in a dark, yet humorous voice.
"Alright! Now, who do I kill first?"
The heroes stood their ground as they prepared to face the worst that Etemon was about to inflict upon them. Leomon stood his ground and cried out while Etemon came charging towards them.
"You guys! Now! Here he comes!"
However, they were all not fast enough to dodge Etemon's relentless attack. Etemon came charging over towards Andromon. The android brought out his arm to deliver an elbow shot to Etemon's face. However, Etemon was able to see this coming and brought threw out a vicious fist. Piximon gasped in shock as he watched Etemon's powerful fist connect with Andromon's arm. Andromon watched in horror as his arm was ripped off due to the sheer strength of Etemon's fist. Andromon's arm bleed profusely with large quantities of oil and he fell to his knees. Andromon cried out with agony while the others looked on in horror.
"Andromon!" Piximon exclaimed.
"No! This is too much to bear!" Kari cried. "Make them stop!"
"That was some strength!" Angemon said. "He easily ripped off Andromon's arm!"
"Heh. So he's breakable afterall," said Matt.
TK was baffled and angered by his brother's cold remark. "How can my brother look on like that? He's smiling. Whatever these creeps did to him, they're not going to get away with this. I'll bring back my brother."
"Now! You die!"
As soon as Etemon brought up his fist to deliver the final blow, Andromon goes flying up towards the air and was levitating above Etemon. The money warrior looked up to see Andromon preparing for an air-borne attack.
"No! You die, scum!"
"Hah! Gotcha!"
With that said, Etemon flew up with tremendous speed and catches Andromon by surprise with a spinning back kick to the back of the android's head. Andromon goes thundering down towards the ground below and lands with tremendous impact. Piximon looked on with worry, but his worries faded as Andromon slowly rose back to his feet. Andromon was busted up like never before. He had never faced such a foe and he felt like he was about to die. He knew that he wouldn't beat this invader, so he would die fighting to the end.
"Heh. That stubborn bastard. He just won't die."
"Andromon! Leomon! We've got to do something!" Angemon said.
"What...What tremendous power..."
"Leomon? What about helping Andromon?"
"You leave that to me! I'll help Andromon!" Angewomon cried.
"No! Don't do it!" Angemon exclaimed.
"He's right! That monster is too much! Fall back now!" ordered Leomon.
"No! You two stay out of my way!"
Etemon turned to see Angewomon flying over towards the battlefield to save the fallen android from certain destruction. A sick, twisted smile formed on Etemon's face.
"That's it. Come to poppa, baby!"
With that said, Etemon waved the tip of his fingers and brought forth a wave of energy that blasted through the ground in front of Angewomon. She goes flying back from the tremendous impact of the blast. Everyone covered their faces from the flying debris and peeked through to what they saw was unbelievable. The blast had created a long, massive pit. Angewomon looked on with a horrified look. The pit was so deep that it looked very bottomless. If Etemon was capable of doing that, who knows what Metal Garurumon could do.
"I can't even see the bottom of that pit," Leomon said. "I've never dreamed of such a blast."
"Hey! Where's Piximon?" Angewomon asked.
"I don't know!" Angemon replied.
"What if he got caught in that blast? I mean he's not a big digimon after all," TK said.
"Hey look up there!" Kari cried out.
Everyone looked up to see Piximon flying up behind Etemon. The pink digimon drops his cane-like stick and launches himself towards Etemons' back.
"Etemon! Behind you!" Matt exclaimed.
"Hey! Get off of me! You little punk! Get off!"
"Oh no! It's Piximon!" Angewomon exclaimed.
"Piximon! Don't do it! He'll kill you!" said Andromon.
"Why you little...Let me go! Let go! I'll squash you like bug!"
"What are you trying to do?!" Andromon cried out. "Get out of there! Don't attempt to throw your own life away!"
"Goodbye, old friend."Piximon replied in Andromon's thoughts. It's up to you now. Save yourself."
"You can't..No! Piximon! No!"
As soon as the android cried out, Piximon began to glow and he quickly ignited himself. A flash of light engulfs both Piximon and Etemon as an enormous explosion took place. Everyone stood back and covered themselves from the flying debris. Everyone, with the exception of Matt, were shocked at the events that have taken place. Andromon looked up and watched as the dust clouds started to settle. His eyes twitched and he cried out angrily.
"Piximon!"
"He threw his own life away just for the sake of us?" TK said. "Piximon, thank you for everything. Thanks for the training you provided for our digimon."
"You've won my respect my friend," said Leomon. "Unfortunately, I'm afraid it wasn't enough."
"What?! What are you saying?" Angemon asked.
"Take a look.
Angewomon looked up with a horrified look as the cloud started to fade. Etemon was still hovering with an unscathed body. His smirk didn't leave his sadistic face. He chuckled to himself and looked down at his adversaries.
"Heh. Heh. What a waste. You still just don't get it, do you?"

Back in the other world, War Greymon was still traveling over the ever-so long roadway. He and Tai were getting closer to the mid-point where they would meet up with Gennai. They were too late to save Centaurumon and Piximon. However, they have a chance to save their fellow Digi-Destined. He knew that the invaders were in the lower realm and destroying everything in their path. However, Tai has no idea that he would have to face against Matt.
"Damn it! We're taking too long, War Greymon! We better boost it up some more!"
"Right! Hang on tight!"
With that said, War Greymon boosted his speed and managed to travel out towards the mid-point at a faster pace. It would only be a matter of time before they would make it over to meet Gennai and be transported back to the lower realm.

Back in the digital world, Etemon gazed down upon his adversaries as they were now scared like never before. The monkey warrior smiles as he raises a fist.
"Alright. First, I'll take out rust-bucket and then I'll kill the blonde bitch. Don't worry. Heh. You'll each get your turn."
"But thats just not possible! It didn't even phase him," Angemon muttered.
"Piximon gave his life for nothing!" TK cried out.
"This guy is too much!" exclaimed Kari. "I'd say that we stand little chance."
"Grrr. He gave up his life and it was all in vain," Andromon said. "Since the digicores are with the Holy beasts in hibernation, there's no way we can revive Piximon back into battle. We can't even afford to wait for him to get reborn at Primary Village!"
"Hah! Luckily, you'll be able to see him soon in hell!" Etemon exclaimed.
"No! You go to hell!" Andromon said.
"Listen up, guys," Leomon said. "I've got an idea. The instant he moves to attack, he'll be open and we'll use that instant to attack him."
"Heh. Thats a pretty good plan," Matt said. "I really do hope that it works."
"Shove it!"
"Don't tell me to shove it!"
"Heh, you're so confident. I hope to see the look on your face once Taichi and War Greymon arrive."
"Oh? Tai? What's he going to do? What he'll be doing is licking the bottom of my shoes. I'm superior to that dimwit."
Suddenly, Etemon cries out as he launches himself down to attack the distracted Andromon. The android was now facing death itself as Etemon was preparing to finish him in one blow. Leomon sensed the monkey coming and cries out to the other digimon.
"Now! It's our only chance!"
"Let's go, Angemon!"
"Right!"
Both Angewomon and Leomon phased out as Etemon continued coming right down at Andromon. Andromon stood at a stance and was prepared to attack him with very little energy he had left.
"Come at me!"
"Now you die!"
Just then, Etemon was caught off guard as Leomon came flying towards him from the side corner. Andromon was surprised by the turn of events and watched as Leomon executes a fist to Etemon's face. Etemon goes flying backwards. Angewomon goes up from behind and delivers a forearm smash across the invader's armored back. The impact sent the monkey flying down, where Angemon would greet him with an attack of his own.
"Angemon! Fire, now!"
Angemon powers up as he readied his fist and summoned holy energy to his aid. He brings his fist forwards and prepares to deliver the finishing blow to Etemon. But just as he threw out his 'Hand of Fate' technique, Etemon managed to jump over just as the blast was about to connect. Leomon and Angewomon fired out their patented attacks. Etemon saw them coming and leaped over them attacks swiftly.
"Ugh! No!" Leomon growled.
"He dodged them! All three of our attacks!" Angemon exclaimed. "We were too late!"
"How are we going to beat this guy?" Kari asked.
"C'mon, Tai! We need you and War Greymon back," TK said.
"Heh! You three thought you could get away with that! You've just only increased your chances of having short lifespans! Now I'm going to kill you all at once! Prepare yourselves, punks!"
Andromon growled angrily as he prepared for his next attack on a distracted Etemon. All he could think about was avenging the losses of both Centaurumon and Piximon.
"Piximon. I will avenge you my friend. I won't let your sacrifice be in vain. I'll do what it takes to defeat this heartless monster."
Andromon brings his fists back and opened his chest hatchets. Two missiles came shooting out with tremendous speed and were targeted for Etemon. Etemon turned back and watched as the missiles were aimed for him.
"Take a taste out of my Gattling Attack! This one's for Piximon and Centaurumon!"
Everyone looked on with surprise as the missiles hit Etemon with tremendous impact. The monkey gasped as the blast engulfed him. Leomon, Angemon and Angewomon stood back as they covered themselves. Matt and Metal Garurumon simply stood by with great anticipation. TK and Kari took cover to avoid being thrown back by the tremendous force unleashed by the missiles. Andromon stood and began breathing heavily. He looked up and his eyes slightly widened. The smoke cleared and it revealed Etemon. His armor was shattered and there were scratches on his body, but none that seemed to damage the monster's power.
"Huh?! No...It's not possible," Andromon said.
"Phew. Don't scare me like that, 'yall. Uh huh huh!"
"He's a...a monster," Leomon. "Is he some sort of devil from hell?"
"No...I've failed," Andromon said as he slowly fell to his knees.
"Kari! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. TK, but did he get him?"
"No! Etemon is still alive!"
"But that's impossible! Huh? Look! Andromon!"
With that said, Andromon sighed his last breath and fell down onto the ground. The android saw nothing but pitch darkness and his digital life was then faded away into death itself. Matt simply made a comment over the situation.
"So, he fought like a digimon, but he died like a damn dog."
That comment was enough to set everyone off. TK had heard enough from the person he claimed as his brother.
"Matt! What has gotten into you? I thought you've really changed."
"All you have to do is forget these punks and join my side. We'll be reunited at last. I'll protect you and provide for you. All you have to do is trust me."
"Matt..."
"Don't, TK! We have to fight him eventually. Your brother has been brainwashed," Kari replied. "I swear we'll get your brother back once my brother gets back."
"What makes you so sure? He's never going to come back?"
"TK. I know my brother like the back of my hand. He will come and he's going to teach them a lesson! Just you wait and see."
"Well, when the hell is he going to show up?!" Leomon growled.
"Tai! War Greymon! Hurry back!" TK cried out.

Tai: Yeah, she's really pissed off at you. I'd say you better hide.
Sonic: Man! This is some good shit!
Max: You enjoying it, my main hedgehog?

Tai: But this Etemon is an evil bastard! He just helped kill off three of our old digimon comrades.

Jeri: How are you liking the company, Pikkan?
Pikkan: I hate crowds and I hate humans.
Jeri: But I'm a human.
Pikkan: You're an exception. You don't go babbling this mindless bullshit like other humans do.
Jeri: I'll take that as a compliment.
Takuya: Who would have thought that we would have been spared by Toei? I mean I was resting on your lap. I don't care if it was a dream. Thats Tazumi 100 %!"

***************************************************************
[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Hurry up Taichi! You're friends need you!
"Matt! What has gotten into you? I thought you've really changed."
"All you have to do is forget these punks and join my side. We'll be reunited at last. I'll protect you and provide for you. All you have to do is trust me."
"Matt..."
"Don't, TK! We have to fight him eventually. Your brother has been brainwashed," Kari replied. "I swear we'll get your brother back once my brother gets back."
"What makes you so sure? He's never going to come back?"
"TK. I know my brother like the back of my hand. He will come and he's going to teach them a lesson! Just you wait and see."
"Well, when the hell is he going to show up?!" Leomon growled.
"Tai! War Greymon! Hurry back!" TK cried out.
"This can't be happening," Angemon said. "This is just a complete nightmare."
"I can't believe Andromon. They're dying one after the other!" Angewomon replied. "Are we next?"
"C'mon! Where are you, TK?! We need you!"TK said to himself.
"Tai? THis isn't the first time they've mentioned his name," Matt said in response. "Hmmm. This just gives me an idea.."
"What do you ahve on your mind, Matt," the metallic wolf asked.
"Just wait."
Etemon faced off against his adversaries with a sadistic grin forming on his face. They were prepared for anything that the invader was about to launch at them. Etemon broke the sudden silence as he spoke.
"Heh. Another one down. Now it's your turn," the monkey muttered. "Hmm. Although, I'll let that Leomon live..more or less. That way he can tell us the location of the four Holy Beasts."
"Lucky you, Leomon," Angewomon said. "They think you're the only one who knows about the whereabouts of the digicores."
"It won't matter," the brave warrior replied. "They plan on killing us anyway."
"But I'm just glad that you're sticking with us. We couldn't have survived without you. Thank you for everything," Angemon stated. "So, what are our chances of winning this battle?"
"No chance in hell."
"What?!"
"I never dreamed there was such power. They far surpass the invader who came before. We're in for the ride of our lives."
"Damn! Then I guess this is really it," Angemon said.
The trio faced off against Etemon and were prepared to face the worst to come. Leomon spoke again.
"We have to fight him on the ground," Leomon said. "He's way too accustomed to aerial combat."
"Heh. Whichever you want, boy," Etemon replied. "It won't matter because the result will still be the same."
With that said, the trio flew down towards the ground and waited for Etemon to follow. However, Etemon wasn't going to stall time and he goes straight for them. The trio looked on as they attempted to attack, but Etemon's super speed allowed him to voom in on them. The closer he got, the more worried the trio were. Suddenly, Matt's voice called out towards Etemon and this caused the monkey to pause his assault.
"Etemon! Wait! Halt your attack!"
"Huh?! Why the hell should I?!"
The others were just as confused as well. They didn't understand what Matt's motives were to stop Etemon from prolonging his attack. Etemon would have most likely finished them off by now if Matt hadn't stopped him.
"What's wrong with you, Yamato?" Etemon asked. "All I have to do is.."
"Don't be in such a hurry. That's all. I want to ask my old friends something."
"Like what?"
"What is he up to?" Kari asked furiously.
"Matt? Are you really having second thoughts, brother?"
"Tai Kamiya. So, he's still around? I would have thought that Neo Devimon would have finished him off. Oh and how can I forget his little sister, Kari? Hello there, Kari."
"Hello yourself! You've become such a jerk!"
"Well, I guess he is really coming back, is he? But, do you think that he is your only hope?"
"That's right! I know my brother like anyone else! He and War Greymon should be different! No! He will be different! More powerful than ever before!"
"You should know that those two are bad to underestimate," Leomon replied.
"Wa! Ha! Ha! Then where has he been?" Etemon asked. "Maybe he's not coming back, because's he's having an ol' case of the limbertail!"
"No! He'll come back!" TK exclaimed. "He'll be back to beat you guys up!"
"Heh. Such faith, my little brother. You will make a fine soldier."
"I'm not going to be a soldier on your side!"
"Touching. All right then. I'll tell you guys what. Since I was such a friend to you, we can wait for him until he comes."
""What?! Yamato! You're joking!" Etemon exclaimed. "He's never coming! Let's just finish them off!"
"We'll wait for three hours and no longer."
"Three hours?! What am I supposed to do for three hours? Take a nap? I've been suspended in animation for too long! My body is hungry for action! To hell with waiting!"
"Etemon! Do what I say or face Metal Garurumon's wrath! You want to be turned into a snow cone?!"
THis idle threat quickly made Etemon stop as he skidded at his tracks and fly down towards Matt. He shook his head and kneeled to the ground.
"Sorry. I'm sorry. I just got carried away again."
"Well, there you go. I'm such a friend, aren't I?" Matt said. "I'm only doing this because TK is my brother. Three extra hours of life for you three. Enjoy them. TK. You've got three hours to make your decision. You better make the right one and I might spare your little girlfriend if you join me. Three hours. Thats all you have."
TK looked down at the ground and slammed his fists down. He had sheds of tears coming down his eyes. He had to make a tough decision. It was either reuniting with his brother, who had become a completely different person than he was before; or it was to betray him and defend Kari from harm.
"TK?"
"Kari? What am I supposed to do? I know my brother won't hurt me, but I don't want to think what he might do to you."
"He won't hurt me. As long as our digimon survive, we'll be fine. You just have to believe in them. You have to believe in my brother, because he'll be coming soon."
"Hmmm. The way the big one cowered..That must mean that Yamato's digimon is even more powerful. I've never seen this digimon before. It must be Gabumon's mega form. It's hopeless. Not one of us are megas."
"I still don't get it. Why do you want to wait for Taichi?" Etemon asked.
"Because he took TK away from me and is a sad excuse for a leader. That position should have been reserved for me. I would have led the team through thick and thin when he went back to the real world. His absence was the reason we even separated. I wasn't thinking clearly and needed time to myself. Then I came into realization that I would be the perfect leader for the Digi-Destined. Once we battle, he deserves to feel how powerless he is and how much agony we can inflict. Until, after these three hours, he'll beg us to send him to hell."
"Heh. I should've had faith in you, Yamato."
"That's assuming he shows up in three hours."
"You can have Taichi, but let me take these other three."
"Do whichever you want. That's after we force Leomon to tell us where the holy beasts are."
"Mmm. I hope he shows uo."
"Damn! What is keeping him?" Angewomon said. "Why is he wasting such time? Why don't we just flee and think of another strategy?"
"I agree. Why just stand here and die?!" Angemon replied.
"They're planning on annihilating every digimon here. Do you prefer ti die running or standing," Leomon boldly asked.
"Please, Tai! Come quick!" Kari said to herself. "And be more powerful than them, please!"
****************************************************************
Back in the other world, War Greymon was still traveling over the long distance roadway through the digi-heavens and was getting closer to the mid-point. From there, Gennai would be waiting for transport Tai and his digimon back to the lower realm, in order to combat the invaders.
****************************************************************
Slowly and agonizingly, the three hours have crlawed fast and the wait was over. There was no signs of both tai and War Greymon. TK hasn't made the decision. It was time to face the music. Matt simply sits up and faces the group with a grin.
"It's time. It seems we've been stood up. Three valuable hours wasted, my friends. But of course, the coward wouldn't show his face."
"No! My brother is not a coward!" Kari cried out.
"Then where is he? Why isn't he coming?" TK asked.
"So, ahve you made a decision, little brother?"
"Yeah and you can forget it! I'm going to protect Kari from the likes of you! You're not my brother!"
"Heh. Fine. Have it your way. You play the knight protecting his damsel in distress."
"Finally, it's time. I'm just sorry that Tai isn't here to see it," Etemon replied.
"So, it's time to die?" Angewomon said. "It feels like we're kamikazes."
"Even without Tai, we have one last chance," Leomon said. "Althought it's a very long shot."
"What does he have in mind?" Tk pondered.
"Listen clearely, you two," the brave warrior continued on. "Angewomon. You draw his attention. While I for the monkey's weakness, his tail."
"His tail? Just like you and War Greymon did to Neo Devimon?" Angemon asked.
"Yes. Once I have him powerless, Angemon, you strike with all you'e got. Understand?"
"Yes."
"Good and consider this bold move as the digital world's fate. It's up to us. We can't fail."
"Yeah. I actually have hope," Angewomon said. "I think we can win this."
"Be confident, guys. If you two put your minds to it, then your powers surpasses mine."
Etemon walked across the battlegrounds and looked across the trio. He faces them off and was prepared to make his attack. He was looking forward to this moment after a long, three hour wait. Nothing would hold back this moneky from inflicting pain on the three digimon. A grin forms across Etemon's face.
****************************************************************
Back in the other world, War Greymon and Tai have finally made it through to the mid-point. They flew right through and knocked people down to gain a greater distance. They looked forward as Gennai was waiting in the wings.
"Look, War Greymon! Theres Gennai! We're going back to the digital world!"
"Here we go!"
"Hang on tighty, you two! I'm not doing this for nothing!"
Gennai reached out towards War Greymon and attempted to grab his hand. The mega reached out and managed to grab Gennai. Tai jumps off and tags himself onto the old man. With that, they quickly vanished from the realm and were sent directly back to the lower realm. Within seconds, they were back in the digital world. Tai jumps right back onto War Greymon and faces Gennai.
"Our training went well. Now we're off!"
"You're our only hope, you two!" Gennai said. "Good luck!"
As soon as he said that, War Greymon flies off towards the distance with Tai on his back. The mega began to read any powerful energy signals within the digital world. They had to speed up faster than the eye can see, if they have any hopes of saving their friends from certain death.
"Everyone! Please be alive! We're on our way!"
"Tai. Even after all those miles we've traveled, I'm still fully powered. Isn't that unbelivable?"
"Yeah. You're the 'mon!"
"I sense a huge energy cluster over towards that distance on the left!"
"Alright then, let's get going!"
**********************************************************
The trio were now prepared to face off against the ever powerful Etemon. THe monkey was prepared to attack, but Angewomon was the first to make her move.
"Alright! Here goes nothing!"
The angelic female flies over towards Etemon with ferocity and tenacious speed. Etemon was able to see her coming and prepared to make his attack.
"Eager for death, aren't you?"
"They must have a plan," Matt replied.
"Now, draw his attention!" Leomon said in thought.
Angewomon jumps forward to start an attack, but she stopped and pressed her hands to the ground. She then unleashes two powerful beams and shoot herself up into the air, which managed to catch Etemon completely offguard. Etemon looks up, which allowed Etemon an opportunity to phase out and sneek up behind the monkey. Leomon swiftly snatches Etemon's tail and this did not suit well for Etemon.
"Go for it, Angemon!"
Angemon leaps toward and wrenches his fist back. It began to glow with mystical, holy energy and he was ready to aim it for none other than Etemon himself.
"Yeah! We did it!" Angewomon cried out.
"Way to go, guys! We'll definitely have this in the bag! Nail him, Angemon!" TK exclaimed.
"Ha! Ha! Fools!"
"What?!"
Etemon turns around and executes an elbowsmash to Leomon's cranium. Leomon goes stumbling back and began to cough out a truckload of blood. Everyone else looked on with horrified looks on their faces. Leomon was horrified and couldn't believe that his brilliant plan didn't come into fruition.
"It..can't be..."
"Heh. Don't die yet! We still have to ask about the digicores," Etemon replied.
"No..please. There is no god," Angemon said.
"We're so screwed," replied Angewomon.
"What fools do you take him for?" Matt exclaimed. "Did you think he wouldn't protect against such a weakness?"
Now it has come into realization. The weakness of the invades has always been their battle tails, but just as Leomon had discovered, Etemon has managed to overcome this weakness. He thought he'd already fought the greatest powers the digital cosmos had to offer, but now...It was not to be.
Etemon stood chuckling to himself while Leomon kneeled on the ground and still coughed out a truckload of blood. The body was starting to take it's toll on the brave warrior.
"Heh. Heh. This is very disappointing," Etemon said. "Not even the rest on the planet can make it past the first blow."
"It's..It's over," said TK.
"Well, if he's going to take a nap, I guess I have to play with his angel buddies. Heh. heh."
Angemon stood his ground, while Angewomon watched from mid-air. There wasn't anything that Angemon could use to hurt Etemon. Now, the angelic warrior was surely screwed since Leomon couldn't bring him down. TK had once again lost his confidence, and now so has Angemon.
"Come on! You're Takeru's digimon!" Etemon exclaimed. "You're supposed to be savior for that brat and the digimon of hope. Have you lost hope all of a sudden? Heh, you're such a warrior. Taichi has left you to die.."
With that said, Etemon executed a swift kick to Angemon's chest and sends the angelic warrior flying backwards. The kick's force was tremendous and Angemon felt every effect of it. Etemon brings his hand forth and swings it as he unleashes an invisible force that pushed Angemon further back through a mountain cliffside. Angemon was laid out unconscious, while TK looked on with horror.
"Hey! Don't you die yet! I want to play with you some more!"
Angemon slowly stood up onto his feet as his face was busted open from the assault inflicted upon him. Etemon shook his head and smirks.
"There you go. That's the way to be a true warrior. Not only do you fight like one, but.."
Etemon jumps forward and goes to finish off the angelic warrior.
"You will die like one!"
Suddenly, Angewomon comes flying from another side and executes a devastating kick to the side of Etemon. Etemon goes flying back, which allowed Angewomon to follow up with a fist to his face. Etemon goes flying back. Angewomon pounces forward and plans an attack on the flying Etemon. Etemon stops himself and faces off against the incoming warrior. Etemon goes for a bear hug, but Angewomon manages to pounce to the side. Etemon was once again caught off guard. Angewomon executes several backsprings, just before landing on the ground. Etemon turns to the side.
"Well, at least that girl can move," Matt said.
"Ugh! Stand still and fight like a lady that you are!" Etemon cried out.
Angewomon forms a cross-bow and arrow. She then points it over towards Etemon and shoots out an arrow towards the monkey.
"Celestial Arrow!"
Etemon stops and watches the arrow coming straight at him. The monkey smiles and brings his hands forward. Matt was able to see this and calls out to the ultimate.
"Etemon! Duck!"
Etemon turns around and manages to duck under from the arrow shot. Though, the arrow was able to pierce through Etemon's cheek. The arrow goes flying towards a tall mountain and easily plows it's way through. The mountain top comes tumbling off as Etemon looked on with shock.
"Use your head, idiot!" Matt muttered.
"Damn it! I was so close!" Angewomon said.
"You little bitch! You cut me!" Etemon cried out.
"Damn. I've really pissed him off."
"Now! I'm really going to enjoy this!"
Etemon brings his fist forwards and shoots out a green-like orb towards Angewomon. The female jumps up and watches as the orb explodes on impact onto the ground itself. Etemon smirks and prepares another blast to completely finish Angewomon off.
"One more time, baby!"
Just then, an unknown energy blast nails Etemon from behind. The monkey turns around and finds the source to the blast. Etemon grew angrier as he saw Leomon kneeling on the ground with an arm extended.
"Damn! You're tougher than you look!"
"Ha! Having some trouble there, monkey boy?!" Matt said in a rather tauntingly manner.
"We won't go down that easily," Leomon muttered. "The digital world won't go down that easily."
"You idiot! Now you've pissed me off! I took it easy on you, because we want you to tell us where those digicores are! But now-"
Suddenly, Leomon felt a powerful presence from a far distance. He turned around and had a shocked expression on his face. The invaders took notice of this and were also beginning to feel that very same presence.
"What?! What is that?" Leomon exclaimed. "A tremendous power is approaching from afar.."
"I feel it too," Angemon replied. "It's huge, but it is very familiar."
"Huh?! You think it's them?!" TK asked.
"It has to be! Looks like we're saved!' Kari replied. "Now you guys are in trouble!"
"Quit being dillusional! Your tricks are getting so old," Etemon said.
"Yes. At last, it's them," Leomon said in a rather calm tone.
With our heroes being battered to the death, will War Greymon and Tai make it there in time? How will the invaders fend off against them?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Leomon's Sacrifice?! Where are you Taichi?!
Etemon grew angrier as he saw Leomon kneeling on the ground with an arm extended.
"Damn! You're tougher than you look!"
"Ha! Having some trouble there, monkey boy?!" Matt said in a rather tauntingly manner.
"We won't go down that easily," Leomon muttered. "The digital world won't go down that easily."
"You idiot! Now you've pissed me off! I took it easy on you, because we want you to tell us where those digicores are! But now-"
Suddenly, Leomon felt a powerful presence from a far distance. He turned around and had a shocked expression on his face. The invaders took notice of this and were also beginning to feel that very same presence.
"What?! What is that?" Leomon exclaimed. "A tremendous power is approaching from afar.."
"I feel it too," Angemon replied. "It's huge, but it is very familiar."
"Huh?! You think it's them?!" TK asked.
"It has to be! Looks like we're saved!' Kari replied. "Now you guys are in trouble!"
"Quit being dillusional! Your tricks are getting so old," Etemon said.
"Yes. At last, it's them," Leomon said in a rather calm tone. "It's him! He's coming! I should have known that fool would make us wait!"
"My brother's coming! He's definitely coming isn't he?!" Kari asked.
"But, where? I don't see him or feel his presence," Etemon replied. "What have you idiots been smoking?"
"So, these digimon seem to have the power to detect chi? Hmm, Let's see..."
Matt takes out his scouter device, places it around his face and activates it. The device starts picking up a strong energy signal from far off in the distance.
Tai and War Greymon were getting closer towards the exact location point. It would only be a matter of moments before they would actually arrive there. War Greymon felt several strong ki readings in one area.
"War Greymon! This is not enough! We have to hurry! Please, don't let anyone else be dead. I wouldn't dare live with myself if anything were to happen to Kari!"
"We're almost there! I can sense their ki signals. We'll definitely be there in no time!"
"Go, War Greymon! We have to fly faster!"
With that said, War Greymon boosted his ki and flew out towards the distance where he would meet with the others. Time was wasting for our duo.
Matt read the energy signal and his eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe the reading which he picked up from the device. He turns his attention back to the battle and was about to reveal the strong energy signal he picked up. He had to let Etemon know before it was too late.
"So, are they telling the truth?! C'mon! I want to know! I really hope they are..."
"I don't know if it's really Tai and his digimon, but he'll be here in four minutes. The digimon has a power level of 5000!"
"What?! 5000?! That's impossible! It has to be a scouter mistake!"
"It maybe, these fools seem able to vary their power. Which means that 5000 could be just for starters," Matt said in thought.
"Well, I think that your partners are actually worried," Leomon pointed out.
"Etemon! Kill those three and bring the kids to me! Their help could actually make Tai and War Greymon a challenge, but their corpses might well shake him up!"
"What?!" the heroic digimon exclaimed altogether.
"Matt! Don't do it!" TK cried out.
"You're a monster!" exclaimed Kari.
"But, what about the digicores?" Etemon asked. "Don't we.."
"Never mind that! We don't need them!" Matt cried out. "I never believed the legend of the digicore's power or any of the holy beasts themselves. Tai is the only person that matters to me now! If you think about it, we might use him to track the digicores for us. After that, a little rampage through this digital world would be a lovely way to destroy."
"I still say your machine's broken. War Greymon can't be anywhere near 5000, but it's a good enough excuse to start the killing."
The other digimon stood their ground and blocked the path of the two children. It was all or nothing, a fight to the finish. The digicores didn't really matter much anymore to the invaders.
"Leomon! You have to run!" TK cried out. "Our digimon will hold 'em somehow until Tai comes back!"
"Yeah! We can't afford to lose you after everything you've done for our digimon."
"Don't be ridiculous," Leomon replied. "Not even your digimon can hold these two all by themselves."
"Something really bad is about to happen," Angewomon said. "I can't really move my body anymore. I can't stop them either.."
"You're not alone," Angemon replied.
"So, those two wimps are going to hold me off, huh?" Etemon said. "Ha! Don't make me laugh!"
"Angemon! Angewomon!" the children cried out.
Etemon came flying towards the two angel digimon and prepared to kill them off in one blow, but they both stood their ground. Suddenly, Angemon snapped and delivers a fist to Etemon's face. The force managed to send the monkey crashing through a nearby mountain. Leomon looked on with a shocked look and watched as the mountain crumbled from the monstrous impact. Matt stood his ground and restrained Metal Garurumon from attacking. Etemon quickly emerges from the rubble and leaps back onto the battlefield. His forehead was busted open and he was boiling mad. His body started to strain with tremendous power, which didn't suit well for the digimon.
"Now, you've pissed me off!" Etemon growled angrily.
With that said, Etemon pulls back his fist and powers up an aura of powerful energy. His fist was now coated with a dark chi force that was ready to kill off his adversaries. The trio stood their ground and felt the strong force coming from the single power-up itself. Etemon cries out and pulls his fist forward and unleashes a powerful energy wave that shot straight for the children. TK and Kari screamed for their lives as the angel dup made their move to evade the blast. They would end up on the blast and only throw their lives away. However, Leomon say an opportunity and made his move. The childre and their digimon looked on with shock as the energy blast nailed Leomon head-on. The blasts' force was enough to bent a dent into Leomon and cause severe damage to the brave warrior. An momentary explosion occurs, while the angel digimon were covering the children from falling debris. As soon as the smoke cleared, Leomon stood with his body battered and his mouth was coughing out more blood. Etemon was also just as shocked and wasn't expecting to blast Leomon.
"Leo-Leomon?" TK said. "You saved us.."
"He just saved us?" Kari asked.
"Go...run away, kids. You and your digimon. Get away from here."
Leomon's eyes were glazed over and he collasped onto the ground face-first. The children ran to his side, while the angels stood their ground. That children's eyes were swelling up with tears as their digimon's trainer was laid out and near death's doors.
"Why..Why did you save us, Leomon," TK asked.
"We need to know. It could have been our digimon, but why you? You could have knocked that blast away," Kari stated. "Please, don't leave us.."
"I thought...I told you kids to run," Leomon said with a smirk on his face. "Hurry..."
"Don't die, Leomon! Tai and War Greymon are coming! They're going to save us," TK replied in tears. "Please, don't die!"
Etemon looks on with smirk on his face and seemed to be very satisified with his work. matt simply stood by and turned away from the scene. He couldn't bear to see his own brother crying and it brought back memories to when he would comfort him.
"Those idiots-Making us kill them in the wrong order," Etemon said in venom. "Oh well. It all ends up the same."
Meanwhile, War Greymon were picking up a dying energy and this caused the mega to moan to himself. Tai took notice of his digimon's behavior and was the first to question to him.
"What's wrong, War Greymon? What's happening?"
"One of the ki powers I've sensed is getting smaller. Someone is dying."
"What?! Kari! TK!"
"It's not either of the kids. They're fine, but it's Leomon. He has fallen."
"No. I can't believe it. He's gone?"
"He's soon going to be taken to the afterlife in a few moments. It's a shame."
"We should have been there sooner!"
"Leomon would have wanted it this way. He has fought throughout most of his life. This was his decision to make. That's what makes him an honorable warrior. That is why he is respected by many digimon here in the digital world."
"What a guy..You've really looked out for my sister and TK. You've helped to make their digimon stronger. For that, I thnk you my friend."
Back at the battle site, Leomon was slowly coming close to death's doors. He looked upon the faces of the children he's spent an entire earth year with. These two children looked up to Leomon as a sort of a fahterly figure and now he was soon about to depart from the digital world.
"I really can't-believe that-me. Me-Leomon. The brave warrior who had to be saved by two resourceful children. But you two are special. You-two really managed to talk to me and not fear-my presence."
"Leomon. Don't speak anymore. You're only causing more of your energy to be drained away," Angemon said.
"It's okay-These couple of months I've spent with you four weren't really that bad. You two-Angemon-Angewomon-don't go dying-It's up to you two-"
"Yes. We'll do everything it takes," Angewomon replied.
"Thank you-my friends. I'll never forget you-Goodbye-"
With that said, Leomon's eyes shed with tears and his face fell onto the ground. He let out his last breath and his digital soul had finally passed on. His body quickly was deleted into a cloud of shrouded data. TK and Kari were crying amongst themselves. They've lost not just a digimon, but a very close friend. He had given up his life to ensure their survival. Angemon and Angewomon couldn't bear to stand the loss of their teacher as they turned to face the heartless murderer.
Elsewhere, War Greymon felt the energy signal from Leomon suddenly disappear and he let out a sigh. Tai realized that this only meant one thing: another casuality from the invader's attacks.
"Leomon? He's gone. That's it! These guys are going down! It's time that we send these assholes to hell where they belong!"
TK and Kari let out uncontrollable cries, which allowed their crest to react to their heart-felt emotions. They allowed the crests to give their digimon more power as a result. The angel dup faced off against Etemon. Matt's scouter suddenly went off, which caught him by surprise. Angemon and Angewomon both stood in attack stances as they readied their attacks.
"Hand of-"
"Celestial-"
"FATE!"
"ARROW!"
The duo shot out their respective attacks and merged them into a single blast. Etemon looked on and felt it's uprising power. He wasn't sure if the blast would even phase him on impact.
"Look at their power!" Kari exclaimed.
"Yeah! This is incredible! Go for it, guys!" the boy cried out with enthusiasm.
"Their combined power is at 2800!" Matt exclaimed. "As I thought! Their powers fluctuate tremendously!"
"Oh? 2800, eh?!" Etemon asked.
The blast came ever closer to Etemon, but the monkey was ready for anything. Etemon eaisly batted away the blast and watched as it collided with a nearby mountain. The mountain exploded on impact as a result of it's tremendous energy. The angel duo were shocked at what they just saw. TK and Kari were stunned and couldn't believe that Etemon easily batted away such an combined effort. Etemon merely smiled and rubbed his hand.
"Heh. Not bad for a champion and an ultimate. That actually stung quite a bit," Etemon said.
"Their power just dropped all the way down," replied Matt. "It seems they've used up all of their crest's powers."
"They're...They're strong," TK muttered.
"They're just too strong," said Angemon. "We can't beat them."
"We're sorry, Leomon," Kari said. "We couldn't beat them nor run away."
Etemon slowly approaches the children, but the angel duo stood in his way. he delivers a double clothesline to knock them down. TK and Kari looked up to stare death right in the eyes. Etemon was about to make his move, which didn't suit well for Matt.
"No! I thought I told him not to kill the children! I need my brother back!"
"Ha! ha! ha! I can't wait to see Taichi's face when he finds out that his sister and the boy were both crushed into tiny little pieces!"
Etemon raised his left foot and was ready to stomp the children's faces into the dirt and crush their skulls as a result. As soon as the foot came down, the children covered their eyes and were about to meet death's door next. He managed to stomp down and he gasped as he found no traces of the two kids. He looked around. Matt and Metal Garurumon were just as surprised. The angels could not pick up any trace of the kid's whereabouts. Etemon looked over and saw Tai holding both TK and Kari.
"Tai? Is it really you?" kari asked.
"No time no see, sis."
"Tai! I can't believe it! You're back"! TK cried out. "Where were you?"
"Here and there, but it's so good to see you two again."
"Who the hell is that gogglehead?!" Etemon asked.
Matt looked up as his scouter picked up a strong energy signal. He's eyes shot wide open as he saw none other than War Greymon. The mega came levitating down onto the ground. He sets his eyes on Etemon. Metal Garurumon stood in a defensive mode as War Greymon landed on the ground. Everyone kept their eyes on War Greymon.
"Now the show is about to begin," Tai said. "We're going to show them what true power really is."
"Heh. At last, Tai. You and War Greymon have finally made it," Matt muttere.d
Tai turns his attention over towards the blonde-haired boy. He gasped in shock as he saw his old friend. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost. His chocolate brown eyes kept on tact with Matt's heavenly blue eyes. Tai stood on his feet and pointed to Matt.
"Matt! It's about time you've came back, but I didn't expect you to join the darkside. What happened? Explain yourself and what is the meaning of this?"
"I've came here for two reasons. The digicores and my brother. You took him away from me. You show-stealing hog. Now you're going to die by my hands alone."
"We'll see about that and you accuse me of stealing your brother? Wake up and smell the coffee! You walked out on us once we came back here! So don't go spewing this crap! Now, are we going to settle this or what?"
"Let's get ready to rumble, old friend."
Now the stage is set. After losing Leomon, fate for our heroes has returned in the forms of Tai and War Greymon. Can they defeat these invaders? And is Matt really telling the truth about him wanting his brother back? Is that his reason for coming back and wanting revenge upon the brave goggleboy?

War Greymon's Quiet Fury! Etemon is No Match for Him!
"Who the hell is that gogglehead?!" Etemon asked.
Matt looked up as his scouter picked up a strong energy signal. He's eyes shot wide open as he saw none other than War Greymon. The mega came levitating down onto the ground. He sets his eyes on Etemon. Metal Garurumon stood in a defensive mode as War Greymon landed on the ground. Everyone kept their eyes on War Greymon.
"Now the show is about to begin," Tai said. "We're going to show them what true power really is."
"Heh. At last, Tai. You and War Greymon have finally made it," Matt muttere.d
Tai turns his attention over towards the blonde-haired boy. He gasped in shock as he saw his old friend. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost. His chocolate brown eyes kept on tact with Matt's heavenly blue eyes. Tai stood on his feet and pointed to Matt.
"Matt! It's about time you've came back, but I didn't expect you to join the darkside. What happened? Explain yourself and what is the meaning of this?"
"I've came here for two reasons. The digicores and my brother. You took him away from me. You show-stealing hog. Now you're going to die by my hands alone."
"We'll see about that and you accuse me of stealing your brother? Wake up and smell the coffee! You walked out on us once we came back here! So don't go spewing this crap! Now, are we going to settle this or what?"
"What's get ready to rumble, old friend."
War Greymon stood his ground as he gazes over at the villians and the beaten-up angel digimon. Tai protected TK and Kari as a staredown between the mega and the monkey was taking place. Matt smiles and looks over to War Greymon.
"What do you think you're doinghere, War Greymon? Don't tell me that Tai made you write some sort of crappy speech about 'defeating us'. Man, I really want to hear it!" Matt said.
War Greymon simply ignored the blonde boy's remarks and walks over towards Etemon. Etemon was quite surprised that the mega didn't start attacking head-on. Etemon growls and watches as War Greymon kneeled over to the spot where Leomon was deleted. He lowered his head in shame.
"Leomon."
"Yeah! He died trying to save us!" Kari exclaimed.
"He died and it's all because of that creep!" TK said while pointing out to Etemon.
War Greymon looks over his shoulder and finds that Andromon was laying on the ground. He was shocked to see how damaged the android's body had become, including half of his arm being torn off.
"Andromon. Centaurumon."
The mega then turns to his left side and finds another motionless body. It was the corpse of none other than Centaurumon. It would be a matter of moments before these two bodies will become deleted. War Greymon heard a soft laughter coming from Etemon and turned his attention toward the ultimate.
"Don't tell me that you're shocked to find your weak friends dead. Come to think of it, there was another one that went bye-bye. He was blown to pieces. Well, no need to grieve. You'll be seeing them soon enough. Besides, you just came back and it would be sweet if you died on the sameday!"
"No. Piximon, as well? Not to mention those innocent digimon lives you took."
Just then, Matt's scouter device was picking up an increasing power reading and he gasped when it was picking up from War Greymon. The mega had somehow surpressed his chi and was managing to increase it.
"His power is steadily increasing."
"Hey, War Greymon! What is it, eh?! Ready to die already?!" Etemon asked. "Well, heres my way of saying hello!"
As soon as Etemon released a thunderous punch, he was only able to punch air itself. His eyes widened and he turned to see War Greymon walking over towards the three Digi-Destined. Etemon was now shaking in his boots. He couldn't believe how fast War Greymon was able to move away from his punch.
"He's so fast," Metal Garurumon said. "Faster than before."
"We're sorry we're late guys. You two did well holding out," the mega said.
"Yeah, but thank goodness you came," Angemon said.
"We would have been dogmeat if the fight had continued," replied Angewomon.
"Plus, we would have been flat as pancakes if you didn't come bail us out, War Greymon," TK said.
"Thanks a lot," Kari stated.
"It's a miracle we made it here in time," Tai replied. "Now, War Greymon. You better waste this bastard."
"Right. Oh and by the way, you two have improved a lot," War Greymon said.
"I thought we had tried but they wre too strong," Angemon stated. "It was our fault that everyone else died."
"Don't worry. As long as we find access to the holy beast's realm, then we'll borrow their digicores to help restore their lives. Afterall, they didn't really die as the way they should have wanted it."
"Right. So don't worry, guys. We've got it covered," Tai said.
"Let's avenge them! The three of us!" Angemon muttered. "With you here, at least, we'llt ake at least one of them with us!"
"So, you trained under X?" Angewomon asked.
"That's right. But I'll fight them alone. You two stay clear so you don't get hurt," the mega replied.
The digimon and the two children's eyes widened as they were shocked to hear War Greymon's startling proposition. Tai stood by his partner's decision and didn't seem worried whatsoever.
"That's insane!" TK said. "Even for you! Their power is beyond imagination!"
"He's right, War Greymon. Don't do it," Kari replied.
War Greymon turns his attention over to the mass-murderer and he was sensing the dark vibe coming from Etemon. His face twisted with rage as a sudden heart beat echoed through his body. He clenched his fists and teeth as he grinded them. The angels felt the sudden rush of emotion coming from the mega. They turned their attention to TK and Kari.
"We better get out of here," said Angemon.
"Why?"
"Because, it's not going to be a pretty site here," replied Angewomon. "We better leave this to War Greymon. He can handle the rest."
"But we can't evens upport him?" Kari asked.
"It's better that we leave now," stated Angemon.
"I've never seen War Greymon-so angry," Angewomonreplied. "There's no place for us here-"
War Greymon walks over and stood toe-to-toe against the lumbering Etemon. The villian cackled to himself and started popping his knuckles. The mega stood motionless with an emotion full of rage. Etemon started to taunt the emotionless mega.
"What's that look on your face," Etemon asked. "I don't like it. I was hoping that you wouldn't die so quickly. Heh, heh."
"There'll be no mercy for you," War Greymon said. "You bastard."
With that said, War Greymon starts powering up and his body started to strain. His teeth clenched as his muslces started to enlarge. A bright aura was glowing over his enlarged body. Then, the ground around him started to shake as pieces of rocks started floating up. Etemon gasped and was surprised to see these turn of events. However, Matt was even more surprised. The entire area was shaking tremendously as if an earthquake was taking place.
"What?! A power at 7000! Now 8000! It can't be!" Matt exclaimed.
"Is that even possible for War Greymon?" pondered Metal Garurumon.
The angels were stunned to even mutter a single word. Their expressions siad it all. 'Holy shit' was what they were going to say. Tai stood by while he protected TK and Kari. War Greymon criews out with an angry roar and surpresses his sudden power-up. The ground stopped shaking and the floating rocks fell like raindrops. Etemon was stunned beyond belief and turned to face Matt.
"Yamato. What was War Greymon's power again?!"
"Over 8000," Matt said while removing and crushing the scouter device.
"What?! 8000?! It's a mistake! It's broken!"
"Don't worry," War Greymon said. "I won't even use 'Mach Speed' on you yet."
"Mach Speed?" Matt pondered. "Impossible.."
"Bah! You'll never be a match for me!" Etemon exclaimed.
As soon as Etemon piunces towards War Greymon, the mega merely phased out and didn't bother blinking. Etemon gasped and found out that his adversary had disappeared. War Greymon appears behind Etemon and delivers a devastating kick to the back of Etemon's big head. Etemon falls down and lands face-first on the dirt. Matt was caught by surprise, but Metal Garurumon looked on with anticipation. He was happy to find out that War Greymon has improved during this past year. The other digimon looked on and were stunned. Tai stood with a confident smirk. Etemon slowly walked onto his feet and rubbed his head.
"Ugh. How-How did you get behind me?!" Etemon asked. "I'll kill you!"
War Greymon merely faced his adversary and disgustingly spat on the ground where Etemon stood.
"You talk a lot, but you don't back it up."
"What?! What did you say?!"
"Strange. His power is completely different from before," Metal Garurumon said to himself.
"You're saying that I am just talk?!"
"Hell yeah. You don't how to back it up."
"Heh. You could tell, huh?"
With that said, Etemon's body started to shake and a wave of energy surrounding his body. This was dark energy that was emitting from Etemon's sheer hatred for the mega. His eyes widened and veins were opping all over his body. He was ready to finish off War Greymon.
"So what can you tell from this, smart guy?!"
Etemon goes charging at War Greymon with super speed, but the mega stood his ground and not removing his angry sneer. Etemon screamed as he began to throw punches. But each punch connected with nothing but air. War Greymon was easily dodging every punch that Etemon was throwing. Etemon had no chance of even laying a single finger on the mega. Etemon cried out and went for a final blow, but he punched nothing but air.
"Over here."
Etemon turned around and saw War Greymon standing on the other side of the battlefield.
"Man! Did you see that?" TK asked.
"No way! Tai! War Greymon is awesome!" Kari stated.
"Mmhmm. I know."
"How did War Greymon gain so much power this quickly?" Metal Garurumon said to himself.
"This is insane.." said Matt. "Ugh, that idiot doesn't realize that he's outmatched by War Greymon."
War Greymon quickly phased out and Etemon made his move in for the kill. However, he was shocked as War Greymon was standing on top of his head. Etemon screams and attempts to snatch the mega, but he caught nothing but air. War Greymon instantly appears in front of Etemon and delivers a devastating punch to his exposed gut. Etemon cries out and goes reeling back in tremendous pain. War Greymon merely nodded his head.
"That was for Piximon."
Etemon goes for a spinning kick, but War Greymon quickly phases out. War Greymon appears behind Etemon and delivers an elbowshot, which sends Etemon flying backwards.
"That was for Centaurumon!"
Etemon goes flying toward a mountain, but Etemon easily bounces off the edge and flies up into the air. He looks down at War Greymon with anger swelling inside of him. His eyes were starting to bulge and veins were popping all around his head.
"You bastard!"
With that said, Etemon tosses an enormous ki-blast towards War Greymon. The mega simply stood his ground and watched as the blast came ever so closer from making impact with him.
"I won't even need to dodge this one."
War Greymon simply raises his arms and took the blast head-on. He cries out and the blast barely did anything to scratch up his armor. As the smoke cleared, War Greymon stood without a single scath. Etemon was stunned beyond belief. His blast had no absolute effect on the mega. It would have been enough to eliminate several ultimate digimon,b ut none to effect War Greymon.
"What the?! He-He's a monster!" Etemon exclaimed.
"He blew it away with 'ki' alone," said Matt.
"Yes. War Greymon has improved. Etemon isn't going to last very long. We have no use for that idiot," Metal Garurumon replied.
War Greymon quickly phases out within the blink of an eye and reappears behind Etemon. Etemon turned to face the mega. War Greymon cups both of his fists together and goes for axehandle smash.
"This one's for Andromon!"
With that said, War Greymon executes the axehandle to the back and sends the monkey crashing down to the ground. As soon as Etemon was falling, War Greymon dives down faster than the monkey's fall. He goes and makes a u-turn around towards Etemon.
"And this is for Leomon!"
War Greymon speeds up and delivers a kick to Etemon's head. The monkey goes flying backwards and cradhing through a nearby mountain ledge. Etemon slowly makes it up to his feet and he was screaming out bloody murder. His face was busted open and he threw rocks all around as a result of sheer frustration.
"Damn you! Damn you!"
"Well. You're as tough as I expected."
"I am an elite warrior of nobility! I'll have no lower-class punk like you push me around!"
"Man, you've really got a sad case of PMS," the mega replied.
"What did you say?!"
"Wow! War Greymon is unbelievable," said Angewomon. "Hes' definitely improved with that training."
"He might actually win this," TK replied.
"Go get him, War Greymon! Knock his lights out!" Kari cried out.
"You've got this one in the bag. We'll be done with him and we'll confront Matt from here," Tai said to himself.
"Etemon! get a hold of yourself, fool!" Matt cried out. "He can't beat you keep your head! Calm down!"
"You think that will actually work?"
"I don't think so, Metal Garurumon. Knowing him, he'd probably could care less."
"You're right," Etemon said. "Man, thanks, Yamato. I-I wasn't thinking."
"Idiot! At this rate, Metal Garurumon might have to fight War Greymon," Matt said to himself.
"You've tricked me into a fit of rage, War you'll see what I can really do. Are you ready, Agumon?"
"Ah. That's it. This is what I wanted," the mega replied.
"Heh, he's bluffing."
"No. He has power to spare," Metal Garurumon said in thought. "He also has utter confidence in himself."
War Greymon watches as Etemon started to power up. The monkey's body was enlarging and an evil aura formed all around his body. He brings two fingers up. War Greymon quickly took notice of this and watched as the ground around him exploded. Etemon looked on as the explosion took place and this was his opportunity to attack. He laughed and charged out towards the smoke.
"Now you're mien!"
Etemon found War Greymon flying up and meets up with him. Etemon throws in several punches, which the mega was easily able to dodge. War Greymon threw in a kick, but Etemon was barely able to manuever from. Punches and kicks were thrown toward each other. Etemon stopped and found War Greymon on the other side. The mega merely smirked and spoke up.
"Yeah! That was much better."
"Heh. Better, huh? I'll make sure that's the last wisecrack you ever make."
Etemon opens his mouth as if he were about to regurgitate, which manages to catch War Greymon's attention. Etemon releases a powerful mouth blast. War Greymon saw it coming and fires a large orange sphere. The two blasts connected with one another and caused a large explosion. The explosion managed to cover the entire battlegrounds. The Angels took cover over the children and protected them from flying debris. Metal Garurumon covered Matt just in time, beofre any severe damage were to occur to him.
"Unbelivable! He deflected Etemon's attack at a close distance!" Metal Garurumon exclaimed.
Etemon gasped as he saw War Greymon cmoing out of the smoke dusting off his armor.
"Phew. That one made me sweat."
"No! It can't be..! Th-Tha6 was my..my ultimate technique! He..He just bounced it off!"
"He really is tough. It took my energyball head on! This could take forever. I can't let this drag on for long."
"Alright! That's enough, Etemon!" Matt exclaimed. "It'll take forver with you! Metal Garurumon will finish him off!"
"What?"
"Ridiculous. I can't believe I ahve to send Metal Garurumon to deal with somebody like War Greymon."
"Yeah. Finally, we get to see that big jerk afraid," TK said.
"He's too scared to fight with War Greymon anymore," Kari replied.
"I knew that Etemon wasn't going to be that big of a deal," muttered Tai. "It's Matt and Metal Garurumon that we should really worry about."
"Curse you to hell, Agumon," Etemon said. "Making me surrender your execution to Metal Garurumon. Heh. Well, you'll be damned sorry it ever happened. There's no reason he's the one that was chosen to help us. You're a disgrace. He was the right warrior to choose from. I'll leave him to you because he ordered me to. But I won't be satisfied leaving things as they are.."
War Greymon was beginning to question Etemon's motives and he slightly noticed that the monkey was making eye-contact with the children. Tai gasped and held the two children back. The angels were prepared for whatever Etemon was about to do. War Greymon looks over and notices the children.
"Oh no! TK! Kari! Tai! Get out of there! He's coming for you!"
The entire group cried out as Etemon came diving at them as if he were a peregrine falcon. War Greymon powers up his ki and goes diving down after Etemon.
"No use! I'll never make it! Mach Speed!"
Just as Etemon opened his mouth to unleash his ultimate blast, War Greymon cries out and powers up his newest technique. A red wave of aura energy surrounded his body and his speed was increased ten-fold. He takes a u-turn and spins around. War Greymon dives down and delivers a painful elbow shot to Etemon's spine. Etemon lets out a painful cry and felt the air get knocked right out of him. Matt and Metal Garurumon looked on with utter shock. Etemon came crashing down and seemed to be out of it. War Greymon flies right down and lands on the ground. In a matter of seconds, War Greymon stood while holding Etemon above his head effortlessly. Etemon's body cringed before War Greymon tossed him down with ease. TK, Kari, Angewomon and Angemon looked on in surprise. They had never seen such a digimon move as fast as War Greymon just demonstrated. He definitely was traveling faster than the speed of light itself. Etemon lands in front of Matt's feet.
"Damn! Now that's what I call fast!" Angemon said. "Were you able to pick that up?"
"No. It was totally out of this world," Angewomon replied.
"Kari. It looks like we won't have to worry about that bully anymore."
"No kidding, TK. Tai, so War Greymon learned this from X?"
"Yeah. This is called Mach Speed. It's a very special technique that allows War Greymon to increase ten-fold than before. He was able to travel faster than the speed of light itself."
"Wow! How cool!"
Etemon was slowly regaining his senses and looked up to Matt. He reached out for the boy as if he were asking for help.
"Ugh…Ugh…Ya-Yamato…"
"He won't be fighting anymore," War Greymon stated. "Matt, you better take him away. You have a lot of explaining to do. Why are you sending this creep to attack us? You ought to be ashamed of your actions. That's really setting a good example for your brother. Explain youself now!"
"He has his reasons," Metal Garurumon replied. "it's been a long time, old friend."
"Yes, it has Metal Garurumon. I demand an explanation."
"Not until we settle the score. Matt has commanded me to battle you one day and that time has come."
"So be it."
"What happened all of a sudden?"Matt said in thought. "For an instant his speed and power multiplied. This will get quite interesting. So the time has come, Tai. War Greymon and Metal Garurumon battle it out. Who will emerge as champion of the digital world?"
"It's time, Matt. I've been inching for this moment. Once we're through with this crap, you better explain your reasoning for sending Etemon and Neo Devimon. What caused you to change?" Tai said in thought.
So the time has come. It's coming down to the eventual showdown! Who is the reasoning of Matt joining the darkside? Who will emerge victorious between War Greymon and Metal Garurumon? Tai! It's up to you and War Greymon to stop these two! The battle of former friends has begun!

The Fated Showdown! War Greymon vs Metal Garurumon!
Etemon was slowly regaining his senses and looked up to Matt. He reached out for the boy as if he were asking for help.
"Ugh…Ugh…Ya-Yamato…"
"He won't be fighting anymore," War Greymon stated. "Matt, you better take him away. You have a lot of explaining to do. Why are you sending this creep to attack us? You ought to be ashamed of your actions. That's really setting a good example for your brother. Explain youself now!"
"He has his reasons," Metal Garurumon replied. "it's been a long time, old friend."
"Yes, it has Metal Garurumon. I demand an explanation."
"Not until we settle the score. Matt has commanded me to battle you one day and that time has come."
"So be it."
"What happened all of a sudden?"Matt said in thought. "For an instant his speed and power multiplied. This will get quite interesting. So the time has come, Tai. War Greymon and Metal Garurumon battle it out. Who will emerge as champion of the digital world?"
"It's time, Matt. I've been inching for this moment. Once we're through with this crap, you better explain your reasoning for sending Etemon and Neo Devimon. What caused you to change?" Tai said in thought.
Once again, Etemon reached out for Matt to help him back to his feet. However, Matt paid no attention and was still staring off into space. War Greymon stood his ground.
I'll say it again. Impossible. No one just multiplies his power like that!"
"War-War Greymon..How did you do that?" TK asked. "Was that really something X taught you?"
"Yeah. It's called the Mach Speed technique."
"How do you do it?"
"I'll explain it," Tai said. "You contract all the ki in the body and amplify it for a heartbeat. If one manages to get it right, their power, speed and everything else suddenly just go zoom!"
"Wow! How awesome!"
"So, War Greymon is stronger than he used to be?" Kari asked.
"So, what are you messing around for, then?" Angewomon asked. "If you had that up your sleeve, you shoulda just cut loose at the first.."
"Well, it just doesn't work that way," the mega replied. "If I don't control my ki perfectly while I'm using it. Well, my body just goes to waste."
"Waste?" the children asked.
"X told me this himself," Tai replied. "He said..."
Flashback
War Greymon and Tai were about to make their move to save their world, but X reappears in front of them. The masked man was about to let them know a secret concerning the Mach Speed technique.
"War Greymon. You have come further with the Mach Speed technique than I had when I was a little boy. But remember at your present level of skill, you have to beware of overusing it. The slightest error in your control, and you just might destroy yourself. Don't increase any higher than twice your normal power. Do you understand?"
"Yeah. I get it."
"Tai, is that understood?"
"No problem."
"Remember anymore than that and it will take a heavy toll on your body," X continued. "It will not be able to contain your surging power, and your own ki will explode."
End of Flashback
"...So there we are."
"Wow. Is that's it?" TK said.
"Yeah. That's the whole truth."
Etemon reached out for Matt and struggled to to even move a single muscle. He had little energy left to even mutter a word.
"Yamato...he...lp...me..."
Matt merely looked down and grasped Etemon's hand. The monkey smiled and was happy to know that his ally was going to save his life.
"Th-Thank you, Yamato...I'm very grateful.."
"No problem."
Matt merely smirked, which made Etemon concerned. The boy hands Etemon over to Metal Garurumon. The metallic wolf snatches him and twirls him around. With one giant swing, he sends Etemon flying up into the skies. Everyone else looked on with utter shock.
"What are you doing?! Yamato?! Metal Garurumon?!"
"What good are you if you cannot fight anymore. You're a disgrace. Goodbye," Matt said.
"Ice Wolf Claw!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon released a powerful mist of ice and sends it with full force towards Etemon. War Greymon easily picked up the wolf's power reading.
"What power!"
"No! Yamato!"
The ice beam struck head-on with Etemon and the monkey let out his last screams. The beam consumed the ultimate and ultimately deleted him in the process. An explosion occurs as a result and it left huge devastation across the landscape. The smoke cleared and nothing was left of Etemon. Matt and Metal Garurumon stood their ground. War Greymon was levitating above the ground with Tai around his grasp. The angels held their respective partners.
"Man! What kind of monsters have they become?" Kari asked. "They just killed their own partner!"
"You guys better get going and meet up with the other Digi-Destined," Tai said.
"What? But I have to see this!" TK said.
"No, he's right. We'll only get in the way," Kari replied. "TK. This is no palce for us. Not even our digimon have what it takes to compete with Metal Garurumon. It's bes that we leave."
"You're right."
"If we were to stay here, then we would only distract War Greymon," Angemon said.
"Look, I understand you want to see your brother, but we have no choice," Tai said. "If War Greymon fights Metal Garurumon, then I'll see if I can get through to Matt. He's got some explaining to do. You just leave it to us."
"Ok, but please don't hurt him."
"It's going to be hard, but I'll see what I can do."
"Do us a favor though," Angewomon said. "Fight somewhere else. This place is totally trashed from the last fight."
"No problem. Then we can find the digicores and ask the holy beasts to use them to bring our old digimon friends to life," said War Greymon. "That way we won't have to wait until they are reborn at Primary Village."
"What's keeping you two? Tai! I think you're getting a case of the limbertail? Are you too chicken to face your destiny?" Matt taunted.
"Alright, we'll lead him somewhere else," said Tai. "Wish us luck."
"Tai. Sorry we have to leave it to you alone," said Angewomon. "you better not die on us."
"No way! We've been through some much crap to start craving our tombstones already. You guys tell Sora that I said hi."
"We will!"
With that said, War Greymon goes flying down and sets himself down onto the ground. Tai looks on towards Matt, while he was being held by the mega warrior. Matt smirked and spoke up.
"You figured that it's useless to run?"
"We're not fighting here," Tai replied. "I have a better spot for our digimon to battle."
"Have it your way, old friend."
Matt jumps onto Metal Garurumon and looks on as War Greymon speeds off into the distance. Metal Garurumon was able to soar off and follow him at the same exact speed. The duo sped off towards the other side of a neighboring mountain range. They quickly phased out within the blink of an eye. War Greymon lands on a rock ledge, while Metal Garurumon stood firm on another side of the ledge. The two megas had a standoff while the two boys's eyes pierced through one another.
""Well, this makes it a fitting place to fall over and die," Matt said. "So, what's it going to be? Will you do the right thing and hand over my brother?"
"In your dreams, Matt! What has gotten into you? Whya re you being such an ass and what's the point of joining with guys like Neo Devimon and Etemon?"
"I have a reason. I wanted to be leader of the Digi-Destined. I wnated to lead the team. However, you wouldn't allow me. Now TK looks up to you more than he does me."
"That's not true. He loves you as his big brother. I'm just a step brother to him, but you're his real brother."
"Quit trying to butter me up. I will take TK back from you. I won't allow you to corrupt his mind anymore."
"Dude, what are you on?!"
"I was given a chance and recruited. I wanted my digimon to become stronger than yours and he has given me that opportunity."
"Who is this 'he'? Who gave you this chance? Is he the one who recruited you?"
"Heh. You bet your damn dollar that he did. I am now given the chance to kill you and take my brother back. He's going to be a fine soldier."
"You're wrong. You're being deceived. Whoever recruited you is an idiot. He has no idea of your crest of friendship. Thats who you are. You're the Digi-Destined of friendship."
"Ugh! Stop it with this crap! Enough! How could a low life like you understand? I was chosen to be the top elite and I have pretty much lived up to that reputation. Now, I just let you speak your mind. Shall we begin?"
"Whatever. Let's get this over with."
"Metal Garurumon! You're up!"
"Right."
"Don't let me down, War Greymon."
"I got this one."
With that said, Metal Garurumon crouched back and was ready to go. He readied his missiles and growled to himself. War Greymon crouches and takes a battle pose. The two faced off as the winds were blowing at their directions. Tai faced off against Matt as they pierced looks towards one another.
War Greymon flies out with full speed towards Metal Garurumon. Metal Garurumon saw it coming and brought out his huge shoulder pad and blocked the punch. War Greymon follows it up with a barrage of punches, which were easily blocked by Metal Garurumon. War Greymon went for a kick, which only hit air. Metal Garurumon leaps backward towards several hilltops and bounced off every one of them. War Greymon sped off and attempted to catch up to Metal Garurumon. The metallic wolf bounces off a ledge and flies right at War Greymon. He delivers a heat butt to War Greymon's face. War Greymon goes flying back and nearly crashed through a rock ledge. He goes bouncing off the ledge with his agility and leaps up into the air. He looks down and finds no signs of his adversary. Suddenly, War Greymonf elt a cold rush from behind and ducked under a claw slash. War Greymon follows it up with a kick, but Metal Garurumon leaps away. The wolf goes for another claw slash, which War Greymon barely managed to dodge.
The two megas flew up into the air as they continued to atatck one another with a barrage of hits. War Greymon goes for a punch, which Metal Garurumon easily dodged.
"Ha! Where's his power, Tai?!" Matt taunted. "Some power that was!"
"Grr. C'mon, War Greymon!"
Metal Garurumon delivers a head butt into War Greymon's gut, while knocking the wind out of him. Metal Garurumon attacked head-on once again, while War Greymon did what he could to dodge every attack.
"C'mon, War Greymon! This isn't how you beat Etemon just earlier! Quit holding back and show me your power!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon flips over and lashes War Greymon with his tail. The force sent War Greymon plummeting down towards the ground. War Greymon manages to spinaround and land on a ledge. The mega stood his ground and gets into another battle pose. Metal Garurumon lands on a nearby rock slope.
"Unbelievable. He's just joking around," War Greymon muttered. "and he's still stronger and faster than me. Metal Garurumon! You want me to show you my power? Okay, then! I'll show you."
"It's about damn time," Matt said. "Let's see what your digimon is capable of, Tai."
"You're in for a surprise."
As soon as Tai said that, War Greymon quickly powers up and forms a red aura around his body. His muscles enlarged and his body strained with tremendous power. Metal Garurumon took this to consideration and felt his adversary's power rising.
"Mach Speed!"
War greymon thrusted his hand forward and a force destroys a portion of the rock ledge. Metal Garurumon leaps up and goes towards higher grounds. War Greymon flies off and easily catches up to Metal Garurumon. War Greymon wrenches back and clobbers Metal garurumon in the face with a fist. War Greymon follows it up with a barrage of heavy blows to Metal Garurumon. He then goes and delivers a kick which sends the wolf plummeting to the ground. War Greymon dives down and spins around his adversary. Metal Garurumon manages to see him coming. He makes a u-turn and goes in for a sneek attack. The wolf headbutts War Greymon, but the warrior flips backwards. War Greymon looks over at Metal Garurumon while catching his breath. Metal Garurumon held his own while staring down his adversary.
"Heh. If that was War Greymon's best, then I'm truly disappointed in you, Tai," Matt said. "You and War Greymon are too soft."
"I can't believe Metal Garurumon is stronger than he used to be," War Greymon said in thought. "However, in a strange way, I'm really enjoying this. Then again, it may just be me."
Metal Garurumon's strength had really far surpassed War Greymon's expectations. This was truly unexpected. Not even doubling his Mach Speed technique was enough to put down the mega. Tai must think of something quick before Metal Garurumon delivers a finishing blow to War Greymon.
The two megas stared each other down as War Greymon formed a smirk on his face. Metal Garurumon took this to consideration and simply shrugged it off.
"He's smiling. I guess he is giving up," Matt thought. "Or is he still holding back more power? Make up your mind, fool."
War Greymon wasn't going to let Metal Garurumon know about his hidden secrets. The only way for War Greymon to gain an advantage was to mask his power before unleashing it at the very last moment. That way he can test out his abilities and figure out a way to defeat Metal Garurumon.
"Well, I'd say that you've already hit your limit, old friend," Metal Garurumon said. "Allow me to show you something before I pummel you to the ground. You will witness my overwhelming power."
"Go right ahead."
"Heh. I'm looking forward to when Metal garurumon wipes that smirk off War Greymon's face! Take a look and watch how a real mega takes care of business."
The boys look on as Metal Garurumon howls and the skies began to darken. Streaks of lightning started coming down and pentrating through the earth. A bright aura forms around Metal Garurumon while the power increase continues. The aura becomes filled with electrical power and the rocks around him started to crumble into ashes. Tai noticed the darkened skies and watched as more lighting came showering down. War Greymon paced himself and sensed Metal Garurumon's power.
"What power! His power is nearly causing the entire digital world to tremble! Man! It's like a hurricane!"
Metal Garurumon howls and unleashes a force that suddenly ended his power up. War Greymon covers himself from the flying debris. Metal Garurumon stands off and the rock ledges were now reduced to rubble.
"The vibrations just stopped," Tai replied. "The clouds are back to normal?"
"Yes, Tai. This is Metal Garurumon's power up. I hope you're impressed. Now prepare to witness the fall of War Greymon! Metal Garurumon, do it!"
Metal Garurumon merely smirked and his eyes started to glow a crimson flare. War Greymon sensed a great rush coming towards him. Metal Garurumon was rushing at full speed, which was faster than War Greymon could ever see.
"This is it, War Greymon!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon delivers a headbutt, which managed to push back War Greymon. War Greymon goes plummeting down. Metal Garurumon phases out and appears above his adversary. Metal Garurumon delivers a tail lash, which sent War Greymon plummeting even further down. War Greymon regained consciousness and landed on the ground. He looks up and sees no signs of Metal Garurumon.
"I'm behind you, fool!"
Metal Garurumon delivers another head butt to the mega's back. War Greymon flies backwards, but manages to bounce right off a rock ledge. War Greymon flies up and lands on top of the ledge. He looks up and notices Metal Garurumon about to unleash an attack. Metal Garurumon's mouth charged up and he unleashes a powerful ice blast. The blast came shooting down right for War Greymon. reacting to the blast, the mega immediately powers up his Mach Speed technique again.
"Mach Speed! Times Two!"
War Greymon had just made it out of the way in time, as the blast collided with the rock ledge and reduced it into rubble. Matt smirked and watched as Metal Garurumon fire another mouth blast. War Greymon turns and watches as the blast tear right through his left shoulder. War Greymon turns away and was nearly decimated. War Greymon looks on as the blast traveled out through the atmosphere.
"Heh. Heh. That's good. That's very good," Matt said. "He dodged well.."
War Greymon's left shoulder was ripped apart and bleeding, but this did not deter the mega in any way. War Greymon sighs and levitates back onto the ground. The megas faced off once again.
"Damn! I didn't expect his speed and power to be so incredible," War Greymon replied. "I can't even keep up even with twice the Mach Speed."
"C'mon, War Greymon. You can do it!" Tai exclaimed. "Remember, you still ahve plenty of firepower left!"
"Right. Well, enough bullshitting," War Greymon said as he ripped off his shoulder pads and his clawed gauntlets. He stretches his neck and got into another battle pose. A smirk forms across his face.
"It will be better to blow myself up than allow him to do the honors," War Greymon replied. "I've gotta up the Mach Speed- three fold."
"Heh. Did I forget to tell you. He was making that easy to dodge on purpose," said Matt. "It wouldn't have been entertaining to see War Greymon fall so easily. He hasn't even begun to suffer."
Just then, without anyone else knowing, Sora and Biyomon had made it over to the battlefield. They were able to leave the others behind to safer grounds. However, Sora wasn't going to stay behind and not miss a chance to see this battle. Biyomon had sensed War Greymon's incredible power increase during his fight with Etemon and immediately brought Sora over to the battlegrounds.
"Man! Look at them," Biyomon said. "They're so fast! I can't even keep up with them. Sora? You think War Greymon will win?"
"I don't know, but at this point, he might as well pull out all the stops. Those two have gotten stronger. Tai. Just keep your cool and don't let Matt taunt you like that. You better win this, for not only our sakes but TK's sake. He deserves to ahve his brother restored to normal."
The battle between the two megas continues. It seems that Metal Garurumon was holding back, but what hidden power does War Greymon seem to be masking? Will he finally up his Mach Speed and put a dent into Metal Garurumon? Will Matt realize his sins and return to normal? You better make him snap out of Tai! It's time that he receive a reality check!

The Super Powers Collide! Mach Speed Times Five?!
"C'mon, War Greymon. You can do it!" Tai exclaimed. "Remember, you still ahve plenty of firepower left!"
"Right. Well, enough bullshitting," War Greymon said as he ripped off his shoulder pads and his clawed gauntlets. He stretches his neck and got into another battle pose. A smirk forms across his face.
"It will be better to blow myself up than allow him to do the honors," War Greymon replied. "I've gotta up the Mach Speed- three fold."
"Heh. Did I forget to tell you. He was making that easy to dodge on purpose," said Matt. "It wouldn't have been entertaining to see War Greymon fall so easily. He hasn't even begun to suffer."
"Man. I wonder how long my body will last if I increase my Mach Speed up to three?"
"What's the matter, Tai? Why isn't War Greymon going right at Metal Garurumon?" Matt asked. "I wanted live entertainment and I'm disappointed. Has your reject digimon used up all of this tricks up his sleeve?"
Well, there's no other way for War Greymon to win as he is now.."
"Face it, Tai. He chose the wrong opponent. Metal Garurumon is the strongest amongst the elite megas. "He might have trained so hard, but his failure was predestined. You've only increased his chances of being defeated."
"This is bad," Sora said. "Matt and Metal Garurumon have the overwhelming advantage."
"We should get out of here while we still can," said Biyomon.
"No. Let's stick around and see what happens."
Just then, Metal Garurumon felt an increasing power and looked down at War Greymon. The mega started to power up slowly. His muscles started to enlarge and his ki was increasing massively. Metal Garurumon gasped at what he felt and was now unprepared as to what was going to occur in just a few moments.
"Alright! Just as long as you can body, it's time for Mach Speed Times Three!"
******************************************************
Back among the central planets in the other world, X was observing the battle taking place and was clenching his fists angrily.
"No! What the hell are you thinking?! You should never go beyond two-fold, War Greymon! Didn't I just specifically tell you and Tai about that?! But then, it is true. He can't win against Metal Garurumon as the way he is now. I never dreamed that Metal Garurumon would have been this powerful. C'mon, War Greymon. It's your world to defend."
*******************************************************
War Greymon continued to power up and began to ascension towards the Mach Speed Three fold. It would be a matter of moments before he would claim the power to finally put a dent into Metal Garurumon. Tai and Matt looked on anxiously as the tide of the battle would soon turn.
**********************************************************
Elsewhere, the other Digi-Destined were still covering the skyies as they were making their way towards the battlegrounds. Izzy had the scouter and picked up a rising power. He gasped as it started ti increase dramatically.
"What's going on?!" Mimi asked.
"Did something happen?" replied Joe.
"I think it's War Greymon, but the power level is increasing too fast! 17,000! 19,000! 21,000!"
Suddenly, the scouter exploded and it left Izzy stunned. Kabuterimon was able to pick up War Greymon's energy signal and gasped.
"Forget about the scouters. We can easily pinpoint his location. Let me tell ya, his power is off the charts!"
"Is he right?" Joe asked.
"Yeah and I can't wait to see the new, improved War Greymon for myself," Ikkakumon said.
"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's get a move on! I still can't believe Sora went ahead of us," Mimi said. "oh well. We'll get there in time. I just hope nothing bad is about to happen."
*********************************************************
War Greymon continued to power up and gusts of wind surrounded him. Metal Garurumon felt the rising winds and was taken back by them. Matt looked on in shock, while Tai sported a confident smirk.
"How can this be?! Metal Garurumon! Is he stronger than before?" Matt asked.
"Yes, but thi-this isn't po-possible!"
War Greymon's eyes flared and he quickly flies up towards his adversary with tremendous speed. Metal Garurumon looked on with great shock as War Greymon was coming ever so closer towards him. The wolf didn't even blink an eye as a fist collided with his face. War Greymon had connected with Metal Garurumon's with a powerful punch. Metal Garurumon goes plummeting towards the ground, but War Greymon was able to dive down towards him. War Greymon makes a swift u-turn and goes under a falling Metal Garurumon. He goes flying towards him, until Metal Garurumon recovers. The wolf goes for a missile launch attack, but War Greymon makes another swift u-turn to the left side. This throws Metal Garurumon's chances of attacking. Metal Garurumon shoots out a missile and watches as it heads for War Greymon. War Greymon quickly phases out and dives down to the ground. Metal Garurumon looked on for a moment, then was met by a thunderous kick within another second. The wolf goes crashing through several rock ledges and was left under a pile of rubble.
Matt looks on in utter shock and nearly fell to his knees. Tai simply nods his head and smirks.
Metal Garurumon bursts out from the rubble and lets out a blood-thirsty cry. War Greymon came flying right towards him. Metal Garurumon was ready to attack.
"Damn you! Fight me coward!"
Metal Garurumon goes for a tail swing, but War Greymon bounces away. Once again, the metallic wolf was caught by utter surprise. War Greymon bounces off the other side of a ledge and delivers a knee to the wolf's back. Metal Garurumon goes flying back, but lands on his feet. The wolf goes bouncing right back at War Greymon and misses another tail swing. War Greymon manages to duck under and rams a fist into the wolf's exposed gut. Metal Garurumon cries out as he goes stumbling back. His mouth started to drip with loads of blood. His eyes were widened with severe rage.
"That...bastard!"
Metal Garurumon goes bouncing back onto a rock ledge and looks down at his adversary. War Greymon stood his ground while breathing heavily. The three fold has started to take it's toll on War Greymon's massive body.
"It can't be!" Matt exclaimed. "He has surpassed Metal Garurumon's power! Damn that War Greymon! Damn you, Tai!"
"Man, he's tough," War Greymon said while breathing slowly. "I've gotta finish this quick, or I'm screwed..."
"Wow! Did you see that, Biyomon?!"
"The tide has turned against Metal Garurumon. I wonder how long War Greymon will keep this up?"
"No telling. It looks like Matt is not enjoying this. What has caused Matt to change? Somebody must have influenced him. I bet you that it's somebody who probably wants us terminated as soon as possible."
"I think War Greymon might actually win this!"
Metal Garurumon stood his ground and he started to tremble with rage building up inside of him. This rage was also the hatred that was coming from his partner, Matt. War Greymon waited patiently for his adversary to make the next attack.
"This..This can't be happening! I am the elite among the mega digimon! I can't be beaten by a low-level trash like War Greymon! How could he ahve exceeded myself?!"
"Damn. My whole body hurts," War Greymon said. "I guess triple Mach Speed was a little too much for me...If we drag this out longer, I'll be the first to go down.."
"Don't give up, War Greymon. I know that you're in tremendous pain, but we have to hold out much longer," Tai thought.
"You can do it, Tai! I have faith in you,"Sora said.
Metal Garurumon looked down at the blood that dripped from his mouth. His eyes glistened with anger and his teeth wrenched along his skin lines.
"I...I shed my blood and tears for this weakling?! No! I will not stand for this! Matt and I will not stand for this! No kidnapper of a brother will capture a victory!"
Matt held his crest tightly around his hands and started to tremble with overwhelming rage. He cried out as his crest started to react. This allowed Metal Garurumon to gain more power than he ever had. The wolf powers up and releases a powerful aura that destroyed the ledges around him.
"I've had enough of this digital world! We're going to burn it into ashes! If you don't give TK back to us, then say goodbye!"
"What?! Matt! Call him back!"
"It's too late, Tai. You should have given TK back when you had the chance. Now we will die together!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon soars up into the air and puts his hands together. He started to form a ball of energy and powered up a bright aura round his body.
"Dodge this one, old friend! Save yourself and doom this world!"
War Greymon looked up in utter shock as he watched Metal Garurumon preparing to launch a devastating attack that could possibly destroy the entire digital world.
"No! This can't be happening!" Tai exclaimed. "War Greymon! We have to stop him!"
"Sora! We're going to die! Why is Matt doing this?! Doesn't he realize what he's doing?!"
"He's gone plan loco is what is happening to him!"
"Looks like we'll just have to gamble this one out!" the digimon of courage exclaimed. "Mach Speed Times Three!"
War Greymon quickly reaches down and cups his hands together. He then forms a ball of energy that started to grow massive in size.
"TE-RR-A"
"No! You'll never block my Ice Age Destroyer! Prepare to die with this world you love!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon launches his massive blast towards the terrain of the digital world. Matt laughs like a madman, while Tai stood his ground. Sora and Biyomon took cover beneath some rocks.
"No! I'm too young to die!" Biyomon cried out.
"Have faith, Biyomon! War Greymon isn't going to give up that easily!"
"BEAM!"
War Greymon launches a massive beam that goes shooting up towards the skies. The two massive blasts were inches closer from collision. A huge explosion occurs as the blasts connected and created a massive chain reaction to the entire digital world. Earthquakes were now becoming more widespread and hurricanes were appearing. The blasts were struggling with one another in a tug of war like gamble. Metal Garurumon was taken back by the tremendous power of his adversary's Terra Beam.
"Agh! That looks like my blast!" the wolf cried out.
The two megas struggled with one another as the blasts were forcing each other back. The entire area was brightened by the powerful light which the blasts were emitting. War Greymon pushed back within every fiber in his body. Metal Garurumon did the samething and was gaining more ground. From then, War Greymon had no choice but to increase his power.
"Mach Speed Times Five!"
With that said, War Greymon releases more power and his Terra Beam increased in massive size. It easily overtaken Metal Garurumon's attack and was being launched back towards him. Metal Garurumon looked on with shock as his eyes widened. Matt gasped with a gpaing mouth, but Tai stood proud.
"Metal Garurumon!"
The metallic wolf was launched backwards along with the blast. War Greymon watched as the blast sent Metal Garurumon soaring towards the skies above. War Greymon kneeled to the ground as his body was quickly giving out on him. Tai jumped up and raised his fists in victory.
"Yeah! We did it! You sent Metal Garurumon to kingdom come!"
"Ugh..I really didn't think that I was going to do it.."
"Well, you did.."
Suddenly, Matt rushed up towards Tai and connects his face with his fist. Tai goes falling back. Matt rushes over at the fallen goggleboy and kicks him in the gut.
"You want to celebrate?! You idiot! Metal Garurumon is probably dead! How could you be this heartless?! First, you kidnap my brother and now your digimon just destroyed mine! When is the pain going to stop?! Aren't you satisified enough?!"
Tai made a quick comeback and pushes Matt off. The goggleboy gets up and spears Matt down. Tai reaches back and punches Matt in the face. Matt's lip started to bleed, but his anger was still building up.
"You want to know whats sad?! You! You're sad! How could you say that I'm a kidnapper?! Reality check, Matt! You left us! You left for your own selfish reasons! Matt, you're brother was hoping for your return! He isn't the digi-destined of hope for nothing! You let him down! He wanted his brother back, not some crazed lunatic! You seem to be under the control of a dark force and I'll do what I can to bring the real Matt back to reality! You better realize that your so called ally, Etemon, killed four of our digimon friends. They're dead! It's going to take some time before they are reborn again! You don't realize what you've done!"
Suddenly, Matt's eyes widened. It looked as if he were being brought back into reality. His eyes became mistified with tears as he saw images of TK running through his mind.
"TK...What have I done?"
"Matt?"
"How could I have done this to him? It's my fault.."
"You need to realize your faults and take back everything you said. Whoever did this to you is dead wrong. This person knows nothing about the bond you and TK share. This asshole doesn't realize brotherly love. What an idiot! He underestimated you!"
Tai stood up on his feet and sighed. He walks over towards War Greymon, while Matt began to realize his faults. War Greymon barely managed to move as he turned to face Tai.
"Man! You did great, War Greymon! You never fail to disappoint me, bud!"
Tai slaps War Greymon on the back, but the mega hollered with tremendous pain in his voice. War Greymon trembled as Tai jumped back.
"Whoa! I must have hit you too hard."
"I put too much into that Mach Speed! It was definitely too much for my body."
"I'll say! You looked really screwed up. Damn, just look at this mess. We're defnitely pissing off the digital landlords."
"Well, Tai. Ithink you'd better run for it."
"Huh? Why? You don't mean?"
"Yeah. He's still alive. Matt's digimon is no quitter. If he were that easy to destroy, I wouldn't have had any trouble."
Suddenly, a bright blow started to emulate from the skies above. The light became metallic blue, which was a clear indication that Metal Garurumon had survived. Matt looks up with a smile on his face. His eyes glistened with darkness.
"I won't give up. Metal Garurumon, we're going to finish this piece of trash."
"But you should be stronger than him, right?"
"I told you, Tai. I pushed myself too hard. My body is a wreck," War Greymon replied. "I could be at my possible limit."
"Damn! I knew it was too obvious," Tai replied. "Matt...please don't let this crap continue."
Metal Garurumon managed to fly out from the blast as he quickly regained his breath. He looked up at the earth-shattering blast as it faded through the digital atmosphere. His face was twisted with rage. He cried out as his body trembled.
"Damn you! why?! How can War Greymon's power be even greater than mine?! But, Matt and I are supposed to be greatest! I'm supposed to be the greatest digimon of all!"
The metallic wolf smirked as he came into a realization. He looked around and came up with a brilliant idea that could easily turn the tides to his favor.
"Alright. Time to stop worrying about displaying any fireworks. All I need is to make the were monster transformation and crush him! Heh. My giant wolf form is enough to even terrify myself. I've been inching to show this to Matt for a very long time."
Metal Garurumon flew across the skies and looked around for any signs of a full moon. However, he forgot to realize that nightfall only occurs at different hours.
"I can't believe this...I chose a full moon night just to destroy War Greymon! I promised Matt to make him proud and I will live up to my promise! But that's odd, shouldn't the digital moon be out by now?"
********************************************************
Back over at the central planet, X looked on with satisifaction. He realized that Metal Garurumon needed a full moon to transform into his giant wolf form.
"Well, it looks like your shit ouf of luck my friend. Matt, you need to rid yourself of this darkness. If only I were there to help, but Tai has to do this on his own. It's not my job to save that digital realm."
Just then, a girl with golden brown hair and blue eyes came walking by. She wore a significant pink skirt and a white shirt. She also wore pink boots to go along with her figure. She stands next to X and placed an arm over his shoulder.
"So, my father is influenced by some asshole? Any idea who it might be?"
"No, but I have a feeling that this creature has been ravaging the digital universe for centuries. If we were to have fought him in our early childhood, we would have been slaughtered."
"So, is this one worse than the Warlord?"
"I have no idea. We'll just see how this battle turns out and we'll get to the bottom of this."
"I just hope that dad wakes up and sees the truth. Tai and Matt should be working together if they hope to defeat this evil."
"Tai. War Greymon. Everything rests on your shoulders. After this, you'll realize that theres an even worse evil being out there in the digital universe."
**************************************************************
War Greymon and Tai looked up towards the skies. The mega was beginning to anticipate the arrival of his adversary, but he felt no ki power heading his way.
"What's he doing up there? Why doesn't he just come at me?" War Greymon thought.
"Damn! Where is that blasted moon?!" Metal Garurumon growled. "I'm anxious to unleash my beast form! So, it looks like this area has a different time zone. I should have realized that from the beginning. Alright then, so be it. I'll lose a bit of strength, but there's no other alternative. I can't wait to see the face off of War Greymon! That damn fool."
"Crap! He's finally coming down!" War Greymon exclaimed.
"Where? I don't see him?" Tai asked.
"There!"
"Crap."
Metal Garurumon lands on the ground with a sadistic smirk on his face. Matt got up and clapped for his digimon's speedy recovery.
"Alright! Welcome back, my friend. Looks like we've scared the crap right out of them," Matt said.
"Man, why is everyone saying crap all of a sudden?" War Greymon pondered. "Looks like the Life Bomb is the only way to win, but I can't even concentrate enough."
"So, you two thought you would have bought more time and not allow me to come back by nightfall?"
"Huh, what is he talking about?" Tai pondered.
"Tai! Don't be such an idiot," Matt replied. "You should have known that when Metal Garurumon transforms when he sees a full moon. He's a wolf for goodness sakes!"
"Ugh. No wonder his ultimate form was Were Garurumon," War Greymon said.
"That's right. Moonlight is only sunlight reflected," Matt explained. "You should have known that from science class, but I guess you fell asleep during that class session. Anyways, but only when it's reflected that it emits a special radiation. When the moon is full, that radiation exceeds it million zeno units per second and when Metal Garurumon absorbs that full amount through his eyes then his wolf reaction is set off. The other warriors needed tails to allow the transformation to occur, but wolves don't need tails to complete that transformation. There are many digital moons around the planets in this digi universe, but no matter their size, their green radiation will not exceed 17 million Z.P.S without the circular reflective space of a full moon. However.."
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon forms a ball of light from a capsule on top of his back. The light ball radiated with bright energy and was enough to blind anyone who ever comes near it.
"Metal Garurumon is among the few digimon that can compress the digital world's atmosphere with a power ball to create a small artifical moon that reflects 17 million zeno! You can thank the elite digimon who have helped us create this technique. It is time, Tai. You and War Greymon shall both die and I will reclaim my brother! You are a lair and a damn kidnapper! You never should of challenged us!"
"Hi-His power just went down as soon as he created that ball," said War Greymon.
"Man! This isn't good!" Tai replied. "I should called an insurance company."
Metal Garurumon flies up and launches the artifical moon towards the skies above. War Greymon looks up and has a stunned look on his face. Metal Garurumon howls and watches as the artifical moon comes into place. War Greymon covered his eyes. Metal Garurumon embraced it's power and absorbed it's energy. Matt laughed proudly.
"Shit! It's too good to be true," said Tai.
"Ha! Too bad that War Greymon doesn't sport an artifical tail, because he's so screwed," said Matt. "You two will feel the wrath of a werewolf and a giant one to be exact."
War Greymon turned as he watched Metal Garurumon growing into massive size. The wolf's head increased in massive size and his entire body was ten times larger than the tallest rock ledge. His eyes were a crimson color. His canines were sharper and his howls turned into horrifying roars. These roars were frightening enough to scare a group of Tyrannomon.
"Damn! Damn! How come we weren't aware of this?! War Greymon! We have to stay tough. I don't care how big he gets, we're not going to give up!"
"Understood! As a matter of fact, I just might enjoy a bigger challenge."
"Ha. These fools are turning this into a form of competition. Well, it's going to come back and bite them in their asses. Sorry guys, but you're doomed for death and TK will be with me."
Now the situation has gotten uglier. Just as War Greymon had beaten Metal Garurumon in the first round, the Digi-Destined of Friendship has turned the tides and helps his digimon to revive a digital moon. Now, we have a king kong-sized beast about to have War Greymon for dinner! And who is this evil presence which X speaks of?

Ayeka: Agreed!

The Awakening of the Wolf Beast! Summon the Life Bomb!
War Greymon turned as he watched Metal Garurumon growing into massive size. The wolf's head increased in massive size and his entire body was ten times larger than the tallest rock ledge. His eyes were a crimson color. His canines were sharper and his howls turned into horrifying roars. These roars were frightening enough to scare a group of Tyrannomon.
"Damn! Damn! How come we weren't aware of this?! War Greymon! We have to stay tough. I don't care how big he gets, we're not going to give up!"
"Understood! As a matter of fact, I just might enjoy a bigger challenge."
"Ha. These fools are turning this into a form of competition. Well, it's going to come back and bite them in their asses. Sorry guys, but you're doomed for death and TK will be with me."
****************************************************************
Elsewhere, Angemon and Angewomon were flying off from the battle. They were carrying TK and Kari, in hopes of meeting up with the other Digi-Destined and returning back to lend their leader a hand. They didn't realize that Metal Garurumon had developed some growing pains and was preparing to squash War Greymon like an insect.
"Yes! We're almost there! I'm sure the others will be waiting for us," Angewomon said.
"I really wish we would have stayed to help," Kari replied.
Suddenly, Angemon turned around and felt an uprising power growing from the battlegrounds. His mouth nearly widened and this managed to catch TK's attention.
"Angemon, what's wrong?"
"Since when is there a moon during daylight hours?" Angemon asked.
"Never, why? I thought the digital world was wacked out in the first place," said Kari.
"It looks too bright to be a moon," replied Angewomon.
"Oh no! It feels like some sort of chi just exploded and it's growing fast!" Angemon exclaimed.
"Yes and it sure doesn't feel like War Greymon's!" explained Angewomon. "Yeah, it could be Metal Garurumon's!"
"It's bound to be him," TK said. "We've got to go back!"
"What?! But we can't! We were told to leave and meet up with the others!" Angewomon replied.
"He's right. I'm not going to let him and my brother die out there!" Kari said. "Angewomon. You know what the right thing to do is. What's it going to be?"
"Ok, but lets not get involved until it is necessary. It's your call, Angemon."
"Let's go! There's no time to waste!"
With that said, the angels flew off into the distance and returned back towards the battlegrounds. They were picking up the rising ki and used it to locate the two megas. What they were about to enter was a nightmarish fray.
*************************************************************
Back at the battlegrounds, War Greymon stood his ground and was in complete shock by the turn of events. Tai was no different and was about to crap in his pants. However, the brave leader stood his ground and was willing to fight against this opposition to the end.
Metal Garurumon continued to grow in massive size. He screamed out terrible blood-curling screams that were enough to frighten the strongest of megas. The king kong-sized wolf beast looked down at War Greymon and was prepared to pound his foe into obvilvion.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! What do you think of that, War Greymon?! Thanks to Matt's will and determination, I've become much stronger! The moon only increased my size and I've now achieved this frightening beast form! So, are you ready to die?!"
"Man! I've seen plenty of Godzilla movies, but this is ridiculous!" Tai exclaimed.
"Oh trust me. This will be a much better cinematic moment than all Godzilla movies combined. The climatic scene will feature your deaths!" Matt replied.
"Don't forget that a wolf such as myself is most powerful in it's beast form! However, I will have to keep the tail to keep this form," Metal Garurumon rambled on.
"Tai. Digi-Destined. I'm sorry. I will do everything I can to beat this monster. I can't guarantee a victory, but I will die trying! I won't let any of you down!"
Sora and Biyomon looked on from behind some stone slopes. Their eyes were now glued towards the face off which was taking place between the wolf beast and Metal Garurumon.
"C'mon, War Greymon. I know you have the will to pull this one off," said Biyomon. "Just focus on good and positive thoughts."
"C'mon, Tai! You have to stay positive! If you develop any doubts, you'll most likely lose. You can do it! I know you can," Sora thought while grasping her hands.
"This will require a powerful sphere of energy that I've been saving up since my training with X!" War Greymon said in thoughts.
Suddenly, the beast relentlessly attacked first and smashes his fist through the ground. War Greymon was startled by the monster's amazing speed for a large beast. War Greymon manages to jump away, but gets immediately caught by a kick. The beast was not only fast but agile for his size. The mega goes bouncing back and lands in a pile of rubble. War Greymon was laid out and bleeding from his chest. THe beast comes charging forth and was prepared to make another ruthless attack. War Greymon lifts his head up and cries out.
"Mach Speed!"
The technique allowed War Greymon to fly up to barely dodge by another missed punch. Metal Garurumon only managed to punch air, while War Greymon flew up towards the skies. Just then, War Greymon felt his speed technique quickly giving out.
"Damn it! I've wasted it!"
"Don't die, boy! I didn't even get a chance to kill you yet!"
"Man! I can't believe he could move so fast! Looks like theres no time to concentrate!" War Greymon exclaimed. "Looks like my only chance is to increase my power."
"Alright, War Greymon! You just need ten seconds to concentrate!" Tai said to himself. "That's all you need!"
As soon as Metal Garurumon was about to snare War Greymon and pound him down into the ground, War Greymon brings his hands in front of his face and summons forth a bring flash of ultraviolent light.
"Photo Mare!"
Metal Garurumon cries out with anguish as the light blinded him and momentarily stunned him for a few moments. This gave War Greymon more time to make a clean get-away and plenty of time to summon forth his newest ultimate technique.
"Ugh! My eyes! Damn you!"
"That was cheap, Tai! Your digimon is a no good cheater."
"No, he learned that from X. It's totally legitimate. Your boy just wasn't prepared for it."
"Damn you! C'mon Metal Garurumon! Stay tough! We won't allow this kidnapper to get away with that!"
War Greymon locates a perfect far off location and landed on a high slope. He looked across and sighed in relief. Now he had time to recover and summon his new technique.
"Yes! Please, let this be enough!"
War Greymon takes a deep breathe and brings his arms over his head. He began to feel waves of pure energy entering his body as he began to speak amongst himself.
"Digital World. I call for your life energy. The terrain. The oceans. The living creature. Plants and digimon alike. Just give me a little bit of your energy."
While War Greymon was gathering plenty of pure energy, his adversary was regaining his eyesight. This certainly was not very good enws for the mega. Now Metal Garurumon was prepared to unleash deadly ferocity on the mega.
"War Greymon. You're a dead 'mon!"
From across the face of the digital world, from the depths of the seas, and the fire of it's core, War Greymon draws the energy that is his and the digital world's. This was his last hope. This was the digital world's last hope. There wasn't anything less that will put down the wolf beast. War Greymon not only has so little strength, but he has very little time to complete his technique.
"Ugh! My eyes! I'm regaining my eyesight!"
"Please! A little more! Just a little more!"
"You've got it, War Greymon! Just keep it going!"
"Don't be such a fool, Tai," Matt said. "Metal Garurumon is going to recover and he's going to eat your digimon for breakfast!"
"We'll see about that! C'mon, War Greymon! Just a little more!"
Metal Garurumon regained his eyesight and was looking around the entire battlefield for his adversary. War Greymon took notice of this and began to gather more energy.
"No! That won't hold him any longer!" War Greymon exclaimed. "But if I'm far enough, I can form X's Life Bomb technique before he finds me!"
"Where are you, War Greymon! You are only prolonging this! You can't escape from death!"
"No, I can feel him! He's definitely onto me!"
Metal Garurumon turns towards another corner and quickly catches War Greymon on sight. A devious grin forms on his face and he was preparing to launch himself towards the mega. War Greymon's eyes widened in disbelief.
"He found me! Please, give me time!"
Just then, War Greymon felt his technique being completed and was never happier. He looks forward and brings his glowing fist forward. His fist was now emulating a pure blue aura.
Yes! I did it! I've gathered the energy! Now to throw it!"
"Now you die!" Metal Garurumon exclaimed.
With that said, Metal Garurumon launches a large ki blast from his mouth and War Greymon looks on as the blast was coming right for him. Without warning, the blast collided with the slope and it's powerful force sent War Greymon crashing back. Biyomon and Sora went for cover under several rocks. They were safe from the blast. As soon as the dust settled, the mountain slopes were nothing more than a pile of fallen rubble.
Elsewhere, Angemon and Angewomon were getting ever so closer towards the battlefield. It would be a few minutes before they would find themselves in the line of fire.
War Greymon was laid out amongst the rubble and was bleeding from the mouth. Tai wrenched at the sight of his digimon partner, while Matt was smiling. War Greymon barely struggled to get back onto his feet.
"Damn. I didn't..I didn't know that he was that close," the mega muttered under his breathe. "I was so stupid..."
War Greymon managed to sit up and faced the wolf beast with a defeated smile. However, he wasn't about to go down that easily. As long as Tai still believed in him, War Greymon would still fight to the death.
"The Life Bomb...My last hope is gone.."
"I've gotta say that you have spunk, old friend. But it looks like you've run of your energy, am I right?"
"Heh. I've used all my ki to...make that Life Bomb...I've got nothing...nothing left.."
"Ha! Now you die!"
Metal Garurumon goes to stomp War Greymon with his gigantic foot, but the mega was able to avoid it by using his agile speed. The wolf beast turned around and easily slapped War Greymon away as if he were a pesky fly. War Greymon goes crashing into a rock ledge and falls down face-first. Metal Garurumon leaps up and stomps his foot over the fallen body of the mega. War Greymon cringes and screams out in agony. Tai could barely stand it and kneeled to the ground. He pounds his fists into the ground, which only made Matt smirk.
"Give it up, Tai. You're partner is as good as dead. You might as well surrender now."
"Never. I'll never give up and neither will my partner."
The angels felt a depleting ki and were starting to get worried. TK and Kari noticed their digimon's uneasiness.
"What's wrong, Angemon?"
"War Greymon's ki is decreasing! We have to hurry!"
"No! Tai! He really needs our help!" exclaimed Kari.
"Understood," replied Angewomon.
"We're almost there! I can definitely see devastation from the battle itself.! We're not too far behind!" said Angemon.
Metal Garurumon stomped his foot over a fallen War Greymon numerous of times. The more stomping that was given to the mega, the more Tai cringed. Matt laughed hysterically at the carnage ensuing. War Greymon cried out as his legs were crushed as a result of the beast's curb-stomping.
"My..legs..."
"Ha! Ha! Oh silly me! I've left you alive! You just better hope that my aim is perfect nex time. I want to hear that squish under my foot."
War Greymon cried out as he struggled to get up, but his crushed legs weren't giving in. He was done for and ready to become roadkill. Metal Garurumon smirked and went for the final blow to his adversary.
"This time you shall die! Or would you rather watch the digital world destroyed?!"
"No! You shut up, Metal Garurumon! Enough of this! You beat me and you're stronger than me. Hell...you're stronger than anyone I've faced. But, if you and Matt think that...this is something to...be proud of...then you're gonna learn...You two will pay...someday..."
Metal Garurumon went down for the kill, but War Greymon used the last of his strength to shoot out an energy blast. The blast came blasting Metal Garurumon in his left eye. The beast cried out as he held his injured eye.
"Just call that something...to remember me by..."
"Hey! What the hell was that?! Tai! War Greymon is a cheap-shot artist?!"
"Cheap-shot, my ass. You came back demanding your brother back! You sent an asshole to kill three of our digimon friends and didn't even bother to apologize to your brother! You're the cheap-shot artist! Some Digi-Destined you turned out to be! You don't deserve the crest of friendship! It seems I'm likely to hold not just my crest of courage, but your crest as well!"
"No, you're wrong...Stop toying with my mind! Stop it! You're full of crap!"
Metal Garurumon uncovered his injured eye and looked down upon his fallen adversary. War Greymon's body had given up on him and he was pretty much done for. The beast was angrier and ready to kill the mega for taking a shot at his eye.
"You impudent bastard!"
Metal Garurumon snatches War Greymon with his hands and begins to squeeze the life from out of the mega. War Greymon struggled but he couldn't break free.
"You scarred my face! I'll crush you! I'll crush you to death!"
"War Greymon!" Tai cried out.
"Yes! Kill him! Squeeze him like a jalapeno popper!" Matt rambled on. "We've got this one in the bag! It's only a matter of time before you surrender to us, Tai."
"It'd rather die than surrender to the likes of you."
"No! This looks really bad, Sora. What are we going to do? I don't even stand a chance against that beast!" Biyomon said.
"We have to think of a way," Sora replied. "Hmmm. I did recall Matt mentioning something about the tail. I think we can make an attack and cut the tail off! That's it!"
"What's it?"
"Biyomon. I think I've got a brilliant idea. I doubt that it will work, but it's worth a shot."
"Let's hear it. I'm up for it."
The wolf beast continued his relentless torture of War Greymon and squeezed until War Greymon spat blood from his mouth. War Greymon felt his ribs slowly being crushed by the monster's tight grip.
"Die! Damn you! Why don't you just die?!"
"No! Noooo! I won't die! As long as Tai still has faith in me...I won't die!"
With that said, the wolf beast tightened his grip even further and heard War Greymon's ribs being crushed. War Greymon cried out with anguish and began to feel the pain from his internal injuries. Sora and Biyomon covered their ears from the blood-currling screams. Tai was on the ground and tightening the grip on his digivice. Tears were coming down the goggleboy's face as he feared the worst for his digimon partner.
"We're almost there!" Angemon exclaimed.
"Yes! We're on our way, Tai! Don't you give out on us!" TK cried out.
"But I'm curious to know about that second sun," Angewomon replied. "What is it really and how did it get here?"
Suddenly Angemon looked ahead and saw a glimpse of the wolf beast. He turned back to face the others and pointed to a different direction and towards a safe hiding location.
"We have to get down! We'll go down that rock ledge and hide there until it is safe to come out!"
"But, what is that thing?" Kari asked.
"No time to explain," Angemon replied. "Let's go now!"
"Sora! Look! It's TK and Kari!"
Sora looks up and gasps. She could hardly believe that TK and Kari had decided to return back to the battlefield.
"What are those kids thinking?! Don't they realize that this is dangerous!"
"We better tell them that!"
"But we can't let Metal Garurumon find us first. We'll most likely be caught."
"Damn! I should have known," Angemon said. "That gigantic beast is Metal Garurumon! I've heard legends about wolf digimon having the ability to increase their size and power into a beast form. I didn't know that the legend was real."
"Ow! I think I just heard your bones cracking, War Greymon. You should stop screaming because your resistance is futile," said Metal Garurumon.
"Matt! Stop this! This has gone way too far!" Tai exclaimed.
"No, not until you surrender and hand TK over to me. It's your choice. You return my brother or you witness your digimon die before your very own eyes."
As soon as the angels landed, TK and Kari jumped off and witnessed the struggle unfold between the megas. Kari gasped as she saw War Greymon being squeezed to death.
"Oh no! War Greymon is in trouble!" Kari cried out.
"Angewomon! Let's make our move! You kids stay here!"
"Don't worry about us. You just go and help War Greymon!" TK replied.
"Let's go, Angemon!"
The angels flew out towards the battlefield and hid behind a rock ledge. They concealed their ki to make sure that Metal Garurumon wasn't able to detect them.
"Kari! TK!" a girl's voice called out.
The kids turned to see Sora and Biyomon from the other side. The red-haired girl crawls over towards them.
"Sora?! What are you doing here?" Kari asked.
"I could be asking you two the same thing. This is too dangerous for you two!"
"We just couldn't leave my brother out there."
"Yeah and there's no telling how long War Greymon is going to last out there!" TK stated.
"I think I have an idea. It has to do with his tail," Sora said. "Since it is a source of Metal Garurumon's power, then it's a good idea if we were to cut it off."
"You've got a good point there!" said Kari.
"You tell Angemon and Angewomon to attack him from the front. Then, tell them to attract his attention. Then, I'll have Biyomon digivolve and cut that tail off!"
"We better hurry or else War Greymon dies," TK said. "Angemon! You and Angewomon attack from behind while Metal Garurumon has his back turned. Looks like we've just devised a great strategy."
"Alright, did you hear that Angewomon?" Angemona sked.
"Loud and clear," she replied while summoning her bow and arrows.
"Even if we cut his tail off, Metal Garurumon is still stronger than the three of us combined," Biyomon thought.
"Damn! War Greymon is just about done!" Angemon thought. "This is bad! I hope we're not too late!"
Just then, Metal Garurumon felt several detections around the area and looked around for any intruders.
"Who's there?! I'm sure that I felt some other ki energy."
"Stop right there, beast!"
Angemon stood in front of Metal Garurumon as he brought his fist back. The angel charged up with powerful holy energy that would be enough to stun the mega for quite a while. Matt was surprised to see the angel make a reappearance. He knew that TK was around.
"Ah! So, TK has come back! How interesting."
"No! I thought I told those two to leave and get as far away from here as possible!" Tai exclaimed. "Whya re they doing this?"
"Wake up, Tai! My brother has decided to return to me afterall. I don't know about your sister, but TK has seen the light. Remember, blood does run thicker than water."
Metal Garurumon turned to face Angemon and started chuckling to himself.
"Ha! What a surprise! War Greymon, your comrade just came to watch you die. I just love reunions. Now just watch closely as I crush your buddy into a sardine can. Now where is TK?"
"TK is no concern of yours! Now put him down and face me, coward!"
"As you wish.."
Suddenly, Angewomon phases behind Metal Garurumon and shoots out an arrow that targeted for Metal Garurumon's tail.
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Here it comes, Angemon! Watch War Greymon die! Damn, too bad that he's already unconscious!"
Angewomon shoots out the arrow towards her target and watched as it went straight for the target. Metal Garurumon was unable to detect it, until Matt was able to spot it.
"Metal Garurumon! Look out behind you!"
The wolf beast gasped as he turned around. He saw the holy arrow coming straight for his tail. Metal Garurumon jumps up and watches as the arrow penetrates through a neighboring mountain ledge. The mountain split in half as a result of the arrow's shot. The angels were surprised, yet remembered that Matt was able to witness the event unfold.
"Ha! Nice jump! Now finish War Greymon off and take car eof the rest! I want nothing left until you bring me TK!"
"Right! Ha! Did you really think that I wouldn't know, Angemon? Matt was able to see it coming. He is sort of like a second pair of eyes. I knew you would be devising this sort of plan."
"Damn it!" Angemon muttered.
"No! War Greymon!" exclaimed Angewomon.
"Oh lucky me! Remember after I kill War Greymon, then you insects are next. Angemon, you would have made a perfect soldier in our elite, but you are way too soft."
"Crap! He was able to keep his wits!" Tai thought. "I'm sorry, War Greymon…I don't want to stand by and watch you die…My crest might not have enough power and I've just about lost hope…I'm sorry, everyone…"
"Damn you! I have to do something! I can't let you take TK away!"
"Stop it! I can't stand this anymore! Matt! Call him off right now!" TK cried out.
"Wing Blade!"
Metal Garurumon gasped as he felt something uncomfortable from behind. He turned to see Garudamon blasting a fire blade that sliced off the beast's tail. Garudamon flies off into the distance and Sora looks on with satisfaction.
"What?! Sora is here too?!" Matt exclaimed. "Damn it! You guys set me up!"
Metal Garurumon howled angrily as his body started to shrink. Matt couldn't believe that his old friends had outsmarted him in battle. It was totally unexpected on Matt's part.
"No! I didn't even count on a third one!"
Tai looks down and gives a thumbs up to Sora. The girl replied and returned one to the goggleboy.
War Greymon plummeted to the ground after the beast released his grip. The wolf beast was quickly reverted back to his normal mega form.
"War Greymon!" Kari exclaimed.
"Yes! This should do it!" Sora said. "It's all up to us, Tai."
"Thanks, Sora. I'll repay the favor soon," Tai thought. "War Greymon isn't looking too good, but there's still a chance to use the Life Bomb!"
Yes! What an unexpected turn of events! Not only has Kari and TK return, but Sora makes quite a difference as Garudamon turns the tables on Metal Garurumon! Matt is not looking too happy. Can our heroes put a stop to Metal Garurumon and bring Matt back to his senses?

The Last Resistance! The Last Hope is the Life Bomb!
Metal Garurumon gasped as he felt something uncomfortable from behind. He turned to see Garudamon blasting a fire blade that sliced off the beast's tail. Garudamon flies off into the distance and Sora looks on with satisfaction.
"What?! Sora is here too?!" Matt exclaimed. "Damn it! You guys set me up!"
Metal Garurumon howled angrily as his body started to shrink. Matt couldn't believe that his old friends had outsmarted him in battle. It was totally unexpected on Matt's part.
"No! I didn't even count on a third one!"
Tai looks down and gives a thumbs up to Sora. The girl replied and returned one to the goggleboy.
War Greymon plummeted to the ground after the beast released his grip. The wolf beast was quickly reverted back to his normal mega form.
"War Greymon!" Kari exclaimed.
"Yes! This should do it!" Sora said. "It's all up to us, Tai."
"Thanks, Sora. I'll repay the favor soon," Tai thought. "War Greymon isn't looking too good, but there's still a chance to use the Life Bomb!"
Metal Garurumon stood his ground and was shocked by the turn of events. Matt pounded his fists on the ground. Tai and the others were quite relieved to have gained a better advantage over their adversary. Now, it was time for a comeback.
"Alright! The tail is off! We should be fine now!" Kari said.
Matt turned his attention towards Tai and growled. Then, Metal Garurumon turned his attention over to the digimon and the other children. he growled deeply as if he were possessed by the devil.
"Way to go, Sora! With Metal Garurumon back to normal, we can take advantage from here!" Tai exclaimed.
"I think we've only managed to peeve Matt off. I don't like the looks of this," Sora thought.
"Damn, you guys are really asking for a death wish," Matt said. :Don't you know what it means to make me angry?!"
"Damn. We've pissed him off," Angemon said. "That means that Metal Garurumon is going to go on the attack again. We better stay tough!"
"Do you guys want to die so much?!" Matt cried out. "Oh, trust me. Once I'm through with all of you, Metal Garurumon will kill you all and take my brother back!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon rushes over towards TK. The boy cries out as the wolf came ever so closer to snatching him away, but Angemon quickly intercepted the wolf.
"TK! Run!"
The boy started scurring off, while Angemon held off Metal Garurumon with his staff. Metal Garurumon uses his strength to push away Angemon and enough time to deliver a devastating headbutt into Angemon's exposed gut. Angemon fell to his knees and coughed out some blood.
"What's wrong, Angemon? You're supposed to be TK's guardian angel, aren't you?" the wolf taunted. "Show me your power! C'mon!"
Just then, Angewomon came rushing towards Metal Garurumon. With his back turned, Angewomon figured that she would gain a great advantage over the mega. However, she wasn't expecting the wolf to have good reflexes. Metal Garurumon easily sensed her coming and turned to deliver a claw slash. The force was enough to send Angewomon crashing through a rock ledge. Angewomon was laid unconscious as Kari ran over to her side.
"Too bad. I guess she wanted to be first."
"Man! This is just insane," Garudamon said.
"I agree. This has gotten way out of hand, but what can we do against a mega? He'll mangle you, Garudamon," Sora replied.
"Get up, Angemon! I want to have some fun! I said get up and fight like a champion!"
Angemons truggled to get up as Metal Garurumon kicked him to the side. Metal Garurumon picks Angemon by his neck using his mouth and plans on snapping his neck in the process. Angemon cried out in trmenedous pain.
"Is that your best? Ha! Just like War Greymon, you two are weaklings. Give it up."
"No-No...Never..."
Metal Garurumon delivers another headbutt that connected between Angemon's eyes. The angel cried out as a trickle of blood came out form his forehead.
"Heh. At least, I can have a taste of your own blood."
"Behold, Tai. I'll show you just how kind Metal Garurumon can be," Matt said.
"No! Stop this! TK will never forgive you for this!"
"Too late. Angemon can die next to War Greymon!"
This statement brought chills to both Tai and TK. They felt their hearts shatter and anger swelling up from inside. Metal Garurumon tossed Angemon down and watched as the angel landed next to War Greymon. War Greymon struggled to move and he peered over towards Angemon.
"Ange-Angemon..My body is messed up...I can't even move any-more...You're going to have to fight for me instead...H-He's a lot weaker now too.."
"Bah! You're a damn idiot, War Greymon," Matt replied. "Who would have thought that he would remain conscious?"
"C'mon, War Greymon!" Tai exclaimed. "We can still continue!"
"He's as good as dead, if you ask me," Matt said. "Aw, don't give me that look. You know that it's true."
"He's much too strong for Angemon," TK said. "There's no way that a champion can beat a mega."
"All right, you win! I'll kill War Greymon first, afterall!" Metal Garurumon exclaimed. "Then aftet that, Angemon is next. And finally, I'll finish Angewomon."
"Don't waste anymore time then! Do it and we'll leave here with my brother!" Matt cried out.
"No! I won't go with you!" TK exclaimed.
"Too bad. Go on, Metal Garurumon. Make sure you also mangle that damn bird digimon! I know you're there, Sora!"
"I was really hoping that he would ahve forgotten," said Sora.
"You don't-don't have to win this. Just hold him...off," War Greymon muttered. "I know that you have enough strength for that...Then, Angewomon will finish him off.."
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon came flying down and was rushing towards War Greymon for the kill.
"I...I can't, War Greymon.."
"What are you, a coward?! Are you going to let anymore of our friends get killed?! What did Leomon teach yall?!"
Metal Garurumon stood beside a fallen War Greymon with a grin on his face.
"So, what are we waiting for?"
"Go ahead and finish me, old friend. I'm done.."
With that said, Metal Garurumon started stomping away at a helpless War Greymon. The mega cried out as the wolf continued his relentless assault. Angemon started to tense and gripped his staff. TK was starting to get angrier and angrier. Matt laughed like a crazed mad man.
"Stop it!" the angel and the boy exclaimed in unison.
Matt turned around and looked towards his brother. He could see the fire burning through the boy's eyes. Gone were the innocent looks. Now they had become possessed with rage and hatred.
"I said stop it!" TK cried out.
Metal Garurumon faced Angemon, who was standing with his staff intact. He could feel the angel's power rising as a result of this sudden rush of emotion.
"What?"
"Angemon-Angemon! Kill him! Kill him now!"
"What? You kill me?" Metal Garurumon asked.
"Damn. He's really serious about this!" Matt thought.
Angemon brought his fist back and unleashed a powerful holy beam towards the mega. Metal Garurumon was able to leap away and avoid the blast. However, Angemon phased out and easily caught the mega offguard. He reappears in front of Metal Garurumon and delivers a kick that sent Metal Garurumon flying backwards. Angemon came rushing towards Metal Garurumon to deliver another assault. However, the mega saw him coming and came back with a headbutt. Angemon flew back and his helmet cracked open from the below. His face was exposed with a deep cut over his forehead. Blood was dripping from the deep wound.
"Angewomon...Angewomon...Please! Please come..." War Greymon said telepathically to his digimon comrade.
"War-War Greymon...Hang on.."
"What's going on, Angewomon," Kari aske.d
"We have-a plan. It looks like War Greymon needs me for something," replied the angel.
Angemon and Metal Garurumon threw punches and kick at one another during their flight battle. Metal Garurumon slashes Angemon across the chest and headbutts him once again. The mega started catching his breathe and started to speak.
"Enough of this! Enough! Just die, Angemon!"
Angemon stopped himself from plummeting to the earth and faced off against his even more pwoerful adversary with a sheer will of determination.
"I won't fail, TK! If I fail, then everyone will die. I won't let you down, Takeru."
"War Greymon, it's hopeless," Angewomon replied. "He's smuch too strong...Why didn't you tell Angemon to stand his ground?"
"Angewomon...hurry...While I'm still alive...I can give you...my Life Bomb..."
While the two digimon had a battle over the skies, Angewomon was slowly approaching the fallen War Greymon. The fallen mega turned to face Angewomon.
"Wh-What did you say?"
"Oh yeah! We still have that Life Bomb!" Tai thought. "Thank god that Matt doesn't know anything about it. We must have a chance!"
"What are you going to-give me...?" Angewomon asked once again.
"It's the Life Bomb...It is the chi I've gathered from...all over the digital world...Most of it dispersed...But I think there's still enough to beat him though while he's in his current weak state.."
"But...why...me?"
"Angewomon...hold my hand..."
"But I don't get how.."
"Hurry up! I don't...think Angemon can last much longer..."
Metal Garurumon smirks and manages to catch Angemon off guard with a devastating kick to the angel's face.
"Just hold your hand...?"
"Yes, please..."
"But your arm's broken..."
"Just hold onto it! Just don't...let go! Brace yourself, old friend.."
War Greymon grasped Angewomon's hand and closed his eyes. He began to channel the last reminents of the Life Bomb energy to Angewomon. The female angel looked over at her hand as it began to glow a blue aura.
"Ah! What is this?! The-The chi in this is-is unbelivable!"
"Now palm up..Concentrate and it...will form into a sphere."
Metal Garurumon delviers an axhandle blow, which sends Angemon plummeting down towards the ground. Angemon lands on his feet.
"Do it, Angewomon! I don't think Angemon could handle such power..."
As soon as she palmed up, she saw a large sphere form over her hand. She eyes looked at it in complete awe.
"Is this it?"
"You..You did it, Angewomon!"
Angemon struggled to get up and saw Metal Garurumon closing in on him. Metal Garurumon makes a u-turn and delivers a elbowshot to the angel's face.
"You-You have to hit him with it-on-on your first try.."
"What?! On my first try?"
"I don't have enough strength-to make-another one. You have to hit him..."
"Don't you worry, War Greymon!" Kari exclaimed. "We'll take it from ehre."
"Thanks, guys.."
"Just what the heck is that?!" Matt asked. "Hey! What is that blue sphere?!"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Tai taunted. "It's a big surprise.."
"Whatever, it really doens't matter now. Angemon is going to fall anyways."
"Yeah, War Greymon weakened him, but Metal Garurumon is still too strong!" TK thought. "C'mon, Angemon!"
Angewomon flies up towards a nearby rock ledge and jumps on top of the ledge. She held the Life Bomb and waited for the perfect moment to launch it. She looked down towards the confrontation between the two digimon. Tai, Sora, Kari and Matt looked on with anticipation. Metal Garurumon charges over towards Angemon and was ready to clobber him to death.
"You're good, Angemon! But you've managed to hit your limit!"
Angemon bounces off a ledge and flies up, with Metal Garurumon following closely behind him. Metal Garurumon shoots out an ice blast, which Angemon was able to avoid. Angemon lands onto the ground and fires away a holy beam. Metal Garurumon looked towards it with great anticipation.
"Yes! That's the spirit! One last, futile effort!"
With that said, the mega phases out and the beam was sent hurtling through the atmosphere. Angemon was caught by surprise by the mega's tremendous speed.
"Damn him...hold still," Angewomon replied. "If you keep jumping around like a jackrabbit, then I'll never get to hit you with this."
Just then, she heard a voice through her mind. It was X speaking to her telepathicially.
"Don't aim with your eyes! Feel his evil ki and just throw it!"
"Who? Who said that?"
"I'm X. I the one who helped train War Greymon and creator of that Life Bomb. I was able to teach War Greymon that technique. You hold in your hand the ki and the hope of the entire digital world."
"Whoa, now this is getting tripped out.."
"What's going on, Angewomon?!" Kari cried out.
"So, X is giving Angewomon instructions. Heh, thanks a lot, man," Tai said to himself.
Metal Garurumon started to approach Angemon with a grin on his face.
"I tried to tel your friend, War Greymon...even a group of nobodys can defeat an elite such as myself."
"Alright! Just feel his evil ki and throw it. I got it!" Angewomon said.
Metal Garurumon starts to widen his mouth and prepares to fire a deadly barrage of energy blasts. Angemon jumps away as Metal Garurumon shoots out multiple shot blasts. Angemon jumps away as the blast penetrate through the ground and cause several heavy explosions. Angemon gets caught by the smoke and is eventually brought down by the blasts. Metal Garurumon continued his relentless assault while TK looked on with horror. Matt looked on with satisfaction, while Tai was hoping for Angemon to ahve avoided the blasts.
"Feel the ki. Feel that evil ki," Angewomon thought.
Angemon flies up as another barrage of blasts came showering down around him. Suddenly, an energy baslt comes shooting out of nowhere and nails Angemon head-on. Angemon goes plummeting towards the ground.
"Angemon! Please! Hurry!" War Greymon said.
"Whoa! That's a lot of ki I sense there," Garudamon said.
"What's she waiting for? Why doens't she just throw it?" Sora podnered.
Angemon was down and almost out of breathe. However, the driven passion to protect his partner was enough to make him stand onto his own two feet. Metal Garurumon goes flying towards his adversary with thwe drive to finish the angel off.
"Ha! Take a good look, Tai!" Matt said. "Say goodbye to Angemon and watch as he goes and finished War Greymon! It's all over!"
Angewomon looks on and pinpoints the perfect time to make her move. She looks downa nd watches as Metal Garurumon charges Angemon.
"That's it! I've got it!
"Throw it now, Angewomon!" Kari exclaimed.
"Now it's your chance!" Tk cried out. "Do it, before Angemon is done for!"
"What?! So that sphere was apart of their scheme all along?!" Matt asked. "Damn! No! Metal Garurumon!"
Angewomon tosses the sphere towards Metal Garurumon. The boy's voice caught the mega by surprise, which caused him to turn. Metal Garurumon saw the sphere hurtling toward him at super fast speed.
"What the hell is that?!"
"Hit him!" everyone else exclaimed.
"Jump!" Mattc ried out.
With that said, Metal Garurumon leaps to the side. The sphere barely hit the mega and was now hurtling towards Angemon. TK and Kari looked on with horror. Everyone else were shocked. Matt sighed in relief.
"That was a bad aim, my friend!" Matt cried out.
"No! It can't be!" Tai exclaimed.
"Damn! No! Tell Angemon to bounce it back!" X said in War Greymon's thoughts.
The sphere was now starting to near Angemon. The champion stood his ground and was ready to sacrifice himself for the sake of his loved ones. He was ready to face death itself.
"Angemon! It's me, War Greymon! You don't have an evil ki! You can bounce it back!"
"Ok! Here goes nothing!"
Angemon goes flying towards the sphere and bats it away with his staff. The sphere goes flying backwards and towards the mega once again. Everyone looked on with sudden anticipation as everything went into slow motion. Metal Garurumon turned as the sphere came shooting at him. Matt looked on with horror as the sphere collided with Metal Garurumon. The mega cried out as he was sent hurtling up through the atmosphere. Matt fell to his knees.
"Damn it! No! Metal Garurumon!"
Metal Garurumon was unable to escape the sheer power of the Life Bomb itself. His body was being beaten until there was no tomorrow. As soon as he was shot through the atmosphere, a bright star shone over the skies. The digimon were quite relieved by the turn of events. Tai sighed heavily and ran down to his fallen digimon. TK cheered on, as did Kari.
"Yes! They did it!" X said.
"We did it, Tai," War Greymon muttered.
"Yay! We did it! We did it!"
"Man, that was a close one," Tk replied. "Way to go, Angemon! You really saved the day."
"We saved the day."
"What a relief," Kari said. "You're my hero, TK!"
"Aww, shucks. It was Angemon who put his body through that pain."
TK looked up at Matt and turned away. Matt was still 'zoned out' as to what had happened to Metal Garurumon. TK runs over to Tai and gives him a high-five.
"That was just plain awesome, TK! You and Angemon really saved the day!"
"I knew we'd come in handy," the boy replied. "Man, is my brother ever so bummed out. Maybe I should ahve a say to him."
"No. I think you should take Angemon with you. I think that would be for the best," Tai said.
"No, Tai. I need to stand up to my brother. This is my chance to fend for myself. I appreciate it. Thanks, Tai. You just keep an eye on War Greymon."
With that said, the boy rushes over towards where his older brother was kneeling. Tai kept his eye on the boy.
"Wow. I never knew that TK would grow up this much. he's already taking responsibility for his own actions. I just hope that Tk can get through to his brother. If anyone can do it, it will be TK," Tai said in thought.
TK ran over to Matt and kept a long distance away from him. Matt peered over at TK with saddened eyes.
"Matt. What has happened to you? What happened to the brother that vowed to protect me?"
"TK, I…"
"Don't say a single thing, Matt. Why did you send Etemon to kill us?"
"But, I would never kill you!"
"True, but you wanted to take me away and help turn me into something that I don't want to be. Matt, tell me why have you changed."
"I did it…I did it to…"
Suddenly, every digimon felt a disturbing presence and looked up to see a figure plummeting from the skies above. Angemon gasped and saw none other than Metal Garurumon coming down. The mega lands onto the ground, which catches everyone by surprise. Matt looked on and smiled vaguely.
"No! It can't be!" Kari exclaimed.
"It's okay. He's done," Tai said. "He's totally knocked out from that last blow. That should do him in."
"I hope that you're right, Tai," TK said.
"Gabumon? I'm surprised that you're back, but did you survive? We're still not done here yet," Matt thought.
Both of the angels flew over to examine Metal Garurumon's unconscious state. Thus far, they were quite relieved to know that the mega was knocked unconscious.
"Man, he sure was a great ally, yet a forminable foe," Angemon said.
"I guess we don't have to worry about him," replied Angewomon. "Our job here is complete."
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon's eyes shot wide open as he glared up at the duo with dark intentions. He spoke aloud so that he would catch their sudden attention.
"Guess again!"
Matt smiled as his crest was beginning to glow once again. TK jumped back as he saw Metal Garurumon coming back to it.
"No! It can't be!" Sora exclaimed. "I saw him take a direct blow from that Life Bomb!"
"No! That should have been over with!" Tai thought. "What is this guy made of?!"
"We're definitely back in the game now, Gabumon!" Matt exclaimed. "We'll show these fools that we don't go down that easily."
"You've given me quite a beating," Metal Garurumon muttered. "I almost thought you had me on that last one…"
"How…How can this be?!" X exclaimed. "He took my signature technique full-force!"
"Looks like my dad's digimon has stronger pride than I previously thought," the girl, who accompanied X, said.
"Oh you've taken a lot out of me," the mega said while standing with a battered body. "But I have enough strength left to finish you!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon knocks Angewomon away with a hard smack. He then rushes at Angemon and delivers a headbutt to his face. Metal Garurumon stood tall over the angels and turned his attention to the children.
"After I killed you all…I'll take time to heal," the mega said. "And then I'll finally destroy this retched world. TK will be taken back to his rightful brother. I will see to that."
Everyone stood wide-mouthed, with the exception of Matt. It was go-time and there wasn't any time to lose. The digimon must now regroup to fend off their adversaries.
Metal Garurumon ahs survived the full-impact of a minor Life Bomb. If a full-powered Life Bomb would have connected, it would have been finished. But, now the battle drags onto its final hour. Will our heroes survive?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
The Fight Drags to the Finish! The Light of Hope Shines!
Metal Garurumon's eyes shot wide open as he glared up at the duo with dark intentions. He spoke aloud so that he would catch their sudden attention.
"Guess again!"
Matt smiled as his crest was beginning to glow once again. TK jumped back as he saw Metal Garurumon coming back to it.
"No! It can't be!" Sora exclaimed. "I saw him take a direct blow from that Life Bomb!"
"No! That should have been over with!" Tai thought. "What is this guy made of?!"
"We're definitely back in the game now, Gabumon!" Matt exclaimed. "We'll show these fools that we don't go down that easily."
"You've given me quite a beating," Metal Garurumon muttered. "I almost thought you had me on that last one…"
"How…How can this be?!" X exclaimed. "He took my signature technique full-force!"
"Looks like my dad's digimon has stronger pride than I previously thought," the girl, who accompanied X, said.
"Oh you've taken a lot out of me," the mega said while standing with a battered body. "But I have enough strength left to finish you!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon knocks Angewomon away with a hard smack. He then rushes at Angemon and delivers a headbutt to his face. Metal Garurumon stood tall over the angels and turned his attention to the children.
"After I killed you all…I'll take time to heal," the mega said. "And then I'll finally destroy this retched world. TK will be taken back to his rightful brother. I will see to that."
Everyone stood wide-mouthed, with the exception of Matt. It was go-time and there wasn't any time to lose. The digimon must now regroup to fend off their adversaries. TK crawled away with a shocked look.
"No..No..."
Metal Garurumon slowly approaches the group with an intensified look of rage. Tai stood by as he protected his comrades. Matt was smiling like never before.
"You bastards! You took our powers to the limit and actually hurting Metal Garurumon," Matt said. "But what hurts us the most is our pride for struggling with scum like you."
"Now you all die!" the mega exclaimed.
"No! This...can't be," War Greymon muttered. "We have to get out of here, Tai."
"Hell no! I won't leave you," said Tai.
Metal Garurumon's body started to glow a metallic blue color and he releases a bright wave of light that surrounded the landscape. Everyone stood back as the force of the light was enough to cause a gigantic explosion. The digimon took cover over their partners and protected them from the heavy debris. Garudamon held Sora back as well. As soon as the explosion calmed and the dust settled, Metal Garurumon was standing in the middle of a large crater. Matt examined the area and saw the fallen bodies of Gatomon, War Greymon and Angemon. Kari was buried under dirt with her digimon at her side. Angemon held TK tightly in his grip. Tai was laid out at War Greymon's side.
"What the hell is wrong with me?!" Metal Garurumon exclaimed. "The digimon should be dead!"
The mega kneeled to the ground as he was losing his composure. He could barely stand, but he had enough energy to slowly fly up.
"Heh, don't sweat it," Matt said. "The damage was much worse than you thought. Finish everyone except for TK."
"Yes."
With that said Metal Garurumon lands right towards where Angemon was protecting TK. The angel stood his ground with his staff intact, yet this did not bring a single emotion of fear on the wolf's face.
"Get back you monster!"
"Move aside and I won't kill you. I've come for the boy."
"Over my dead body. You will have to kill me if you want TK!"
"So be it."
As soon as Metal Garurumon prepared to fire a blast, TK began to regain consciousness and he looked towards Metal Garurumon. His crest started to glow with a golden aura.
"What's this?!"
"No! Damn it! TK's crest is glowing! We can't allow him to go ultimate!" Matt exclaimed. "Destroy Angemon and grab my brother! Hurry before he goes ultimate!"
"Yes! Time for your execution, Angemon!"
"Oh no you don't!" a voice called out.
Matt and Metal Garurumon turned to see Sora out in the distance. The girl was not going to stay in hiding anymore and was determined to protect her friends. Then, Metal Garurumon looked up to see the source of that voice. It was Garudamon. The titan bird flew down and retracted her claws. She reaches down and easily cuts across Metal Garurumon's chest.
"Phoenix Claw!"
Metal Garurumon cries out as he goes stumbling back. Every other digimon and child looked on with shock. Matt couldn't beleive his very own eyes. Metal Garurumon fell to the ground and easily was knocked unconscious.
"Way to go, Garudamon! We got him!" Sora exclaimed.
"Sora! Just what the hell do you think you're doing! This didn't concern you! You've ruined everything!" Matt exclaimed.
"We couldn't just stand back and let you kill my friends! Matt, I've seen enough of this!"
"Sora! No! Get the hell away from there!" Tai exclaimed.
"Tai! You have to stop Sora! You can't let her die!" X replied in Tai's thought. "Save her!"
"Matt! You get the hell away from her!" Tai cried out. "She's of no concern to you! I'm the one you want to kill! FInish me, but spare her life!"
"Tai..."
"Sora! Get away from here! Metal Garurumon isn't finished yet!"
"What?!"
"He's right! My digimon will never die!" Matt exclaimed. "Arise, my friend!"
With that said, Sora and Tai turned to see Metal Garurumon standing on his four legs. Garudamon was stunned and couldn't believe that the mega was able to take the attack head-on, yet still rise up. With one swift kick, the mega nails Garudamon with a shot to the chest and sends her flying back. As a result, she was deverted back to her champion form, Birdramon. Metal Garuruon flies out and claw-slashes her across the chest and once again deverts her back into Biyomon. Sora gasps in horror.
"No! Biyomon!"
"Don't go, Sora!" Tai exclaimed. "You'll just throw your life away! Biyomon will be fine. Trust me."
Metal Garurumon shifts his attention over towards Angemon and smiles devilishly. He walks over to them. Gatomon slowly pulls herself up. TK's crest began to glow brighter, which didn't suite well for Matt.
"No! He's going to have Angemon digivolve! Metal Garurumon! You can't allow him! Stop him!"
"Angemon...we can do this...we have a chance...let's not blow it.."
"Yes. Will I finally be able to digivolve?"
"I'm not sure, but I'd rather just survive and for us to be happy again. I hate fighting and I hate fighting against my own brother."
"I understand. I won't let you down, TK."
"Good luck, Angemon.."
As soon as he said that, TK lost consciousness yet his crest was glowing like never before. Matt gasped as he watched Angemon's body glowing with golden light. The angel felt his power reaching incredible new heights. His muscles bulged and he lets out a scream of sheer power. Metal Garurumon looks on with shock and jumps away. Angemon's eyes were glowing as if they were possessed by God himself.
"What a beautiful light," Kari said.
"TK's crest did this?" Tai pondered. "Unbelievable!"
"Yes! It is as I should have known!" X said. "TK possesses the crest of hope. His hope for a better future has ensured Angemon's revival. You can call it a resurrection or even a miracle."
"With hope, TK should be able to make Matt see the light," a girl's voice said.
"Kek, I just hope you're right. With War Greymon down, the digital world's fate will now be determined by the Digi-Destined of Hope. Do it, Takeru! It's your shining moment!"
Angemon's power was growing like enver before, and this was beginning to frighten Metal Garurumon.
"No! Stop it! Stop it!"
"I can't believe my own brother possesses this amount of power! I underestimated the crest of hope!" Matt cried out. "He puts his hopes on his own digimon?"
Metal Garurumon fires away several ice blasts, which were easily deflected by Angemon's aura shield. It seems that the mega's dark blasts weren't strong enough to penetrate through the holy energy which the angel harnessed.
"I won't let you increase your power, Angemon! I won't let you! I'll have to kill you! I have no choice!"
"It is too late for you to stop me now," the digimon replied in a god-like voice. "You've done enough damage here. It's time to put an end to this for all time."
"It's all up to you, Angemon!' Tai cried out.
"Do it," Sora said while she checked on Biyomon.
"You can do it...Angemon," Kari said faintly.
Angemon flies right over at Metal Garurumon, but the mega was ready. he goes for a claw-slash. However, Angemon u-turned to the side and reappears above Metal Garurumon. With a fist glowing with energy, he brings it down and slams it against the wolf's cranium.
"Way to go, Angemon! Stay on him!" Gatomon said.
"Thank god that TK's crest reacted. I never thought that his crst would enable to give Angemon this incredible power. She's managed to hit Metal Garurumon, a mega," Tai said. "Wait, he was able to hurt ultimates before. Like when he nailed Myotismon with his Hand of Fate, that attack really put a hurting on him. Yet, Metal Garurumon isn't an undead digimon. My only guess is that Angemon senses an evil ki from Metal Garurumon and plans on extracting it for purification."
"Wow, you really figured that one out," Sora asked.
"It's just a minor guess. That's all."
"Whatever it is, Angemon is truly handling this quite well."
"No! You damn angel bastard! Don't give up, Metal Garurumon! We can't lose! We have to win! We didn't come all this way just to lose the battle!"
"No! I won't go with you, Matt!" TK cried out after regaining consciousness once again. "If you really cared for me, you would let me make my own decisions! I'm not a scared little boy anymore! I've grown up and it's time for you to grow up, brother!"
These words were enough to put Matt into a state of shock. Did TK finally manage to get through to his older brother. It really didn't matter now, since Angemon was taking it to Metal Garurumon.
Angemon attacked the mega with fists. Metal Garurumon goes rocking back after each fist connected. The holy energy was enough to put a hurting on the dark ki which Metal Garurumon possessed. Angemon spins himself into a tornado-like funnel and plows himself into the ground, which the mega was able to dodge. Metal Garurumon leaps away, but looks down as he saw Angemon flying up towards him with his fist pulled back.
"Damn it! if I weren't so wounded, I wouldn't be in this mess!" Metal Garurumon thought. "That damn crest is the cuase of this! I have to take it away!"
Angemon pulls his fist back and cries out. The angel's fist connects with Metal Garurumon's chest, as it began to unleash a wave of dark energy. As if he were being purified, Metal Garurumon's evil ki was beginning to dissipate.
"Angemon! You're doing it! You're extracting the evil from within Metal Garurumon!" Tai exclaimed. "Which should in turn purify Matt!"
TK's crest began to glow again and it managed to make a connection to Matt's digivice. Matt looked down with tear-filled eyes. He lifted his crest and watched as it began to glow. His heart started to beat.
"Matt. Please, remember who you are. You're my brother. The greatest brother I could ever have. A brother that I can be proud of. I don't want a jerk who claims to be my brother, but my real one. Don't go back and allow evil to cloak your heart. I hope that we can be reuinted as brothers again."
"Takeru..."
With that said, Matt's eyes deverted from their evil glare and were replaced by an innocent glare. He dropped his crest and began to tear up. Both Angemon and Metal Garurumon fell to the ground. They deverted back into their rookie forms, Patamon and Gabumon. TK crawls over to his fallen digimon and craddles him.
"Patamon...are you alright? Please speak to me.."
"Yes..."
"Huh?"
"I'm alright, TK."
"How's my brother doing?"
Sora and Biyomon went over to check on Gabumon, while Tai walks over to a balling Matt. The blonde-haired boy looked right at the Digi-Destined leader. His eyes were filled with tears of regretfulness.
"How could I have done this?"
"It's over, Matt. You put up a valiant effort. We've been through hell today, but no thanks to you. We lost four digimon friends. We beat your idiotic comrade and your own brother defeated you. Accept it. He has a stronger heart than you ever will. His love for you helped Angemon overcome your hate. Your hate allowed Metal Garurumon to gain so much power, yet that power was too much for him to handle. Angemon helped purify that. All the evil ki from Gabumon is gone. It's over. You've faced defeat, but you can't just cry over spilled milk. Be a man, Matt. Or have your forgotten all about that?"
The blonde boy didn't answer, yet he managed to pull a tiny calculator device and pressed on several buttons. It looks like he was about to summon the same pod which helped carry him into the lower realm. Tai grew frustrated and slapped the device from out of his hand.
"I know what you're doing and you're not leaving," Tai said. "I won't allow you to put your tail between your legs and puss out."
"Tai...there are times where a man must regroup and think over his actions," Matt replied. "I need this time to rethink over this situation. I have to leave and allow God himself to determine my fate."
"Matt..."
"You've got friends..."
"And we're willing to give you a second chance. We can be co-leaders. Just think about it."
"I'd rather be the leader. I'd make the better decisions."
Just then, the hovercraft came levitating down to the ground and lands a few yards away from where Matt kneeled. Tai looked over at the hovercraft.
"No. Don't you even.."
"I ahve to go, Tai. I've lost and I need time to get away. I need the time to rethink over horrible crime I've committed. I nearly took your lives and I can't forgive myself for that. TK will enver forgive me again.."
"Matt," TK called out. "Please, you don't plan on leaving us, are you?"
Matt had two options. It was either to stay with the Digi-Destined or to escape through the hovercraft. There was so many clouded thoughts in his mind. he couldn't make the right decision.
***************************************************************************
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the digital world, the other Digi-Destined were getting closer to their destined location. Izzy took a look over his laptop computer and found an exact pinpoint location of the other children. He points out over towards the left horizon.
"There! We should be able to find them there," Izzy said.
"Are you sure?" Kabuterimon asked.
"Positive."
"I can sense them from that distance," Lillymon replied. "Mimi? Are you okay?"
"I'm just fine. I just hate when dirt gets in my eyes! Ugh! I just washed my face before we left!"
"I just hope that everyone is fine," Joe said.
"Don't worry. We'll know until we get there," Ikkakumon replied.
"We're almost there, guys. We'll be there and lend a hand. I just hope the battle didn't get too ugly."
*************************************************************************
Back over at the devastated battle site, Matt looks over at the hovercraft and makes his way over to it. Tai slides right in front of him.
"You're not going anywhere, Matt! You're going to face your problems. Only cowards run away!"
"I'm not running away!"
"Then, what the hell are you doing, Matt?! Answer me, dammit!"
The leader got no response from the blonde boy, which started to infuriate him. However, Sora walked up to Tai and held his held. This was enough to calm the goggleboy's nerves.
"Matt, are you really leaving us?" TK asked.
"But we can help you through your problems. Just give us a chance," said Kari.
"I'm sorry. I can't. I have to do this on my own. I know you guys won't forgive me, but I will think this through. But, let me tell you this now. It wasn't me that came back with Etemon and it wasn't me that wanted you dead. I was influenced by a certain darkness."
"What? Who influenced you?" Tai asked.
"All I can say is that you guys have to stay clear of this one. You need to turn away now. This great evil is much too great for you guys to take on alone. I suggest you stay and forget about it."
Matt walks over towards his fallen digimon and lifts him up into his arms. he carries Gabumon over to the hovercraft and gently places him inside. Matt turns back to face the group.
"I'm really sorry that it had to come to this. I have to think this over for myself. I hope that when we meet again, we'll be fighting together side by side. Tai, I still have bitter hate towards you. We will meet again, but I respect for what you've done for the team. Keep it up. We'll face off again and I promised myself to defeat you. TK..."
"Matt..."
"Your growning up, TK. I'm happy for you. I want you to take care of youself and look after Kari. I see that you two are very close."
TK slightly blushed as he looked towards kari. The girl sported the same blush. Matt sighed and slinks back inside the hovercraft and pulls out a spare device.
"Luckily I had a spare remote," Matt said. "I'll be back. Just give me this time and we'll see what the future holds in store for us."
With that said, Matt pressed a few buttons and activated the closing door hatchet to shut the hovercraft. With one full swoop, the hovercraft flies up into the flies and soars off into the distance. The Digi-Destined looked up as the hovercraft disappeared. TK had a few tears coming down his face. Tai walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, TK. We tried our best."
"It's okay, Tai. I know my brother will come back. I promise you."
This brought a smile to everyone's face. patamon flies on top of TK's hat and rests. Tk walks over to Kari.
"You did great, TK. I'm proud of you."
"I'm not a scared little boy anymore."
"You've faced your fears."
"But then again, this is just only the beginning," Tai replied. "There's an even greater evil out there. Are we even prepared to face it?"
Sora placed her hand on Tai's right shoulder and rested her head on that same shoulder. TK and Kari held hands. Gatomon and Biyomon were looking after War Greymon. Just then, the group looked up to see their comrades arriving just in time. They saw Kabuterimon and Lillymon flying down with Izzy and Mimi on their backs.
"Hey there, guys!" Izzy exclaimed. "Whoa! This place is trashed. I guess there's a lot of explaining to do."
"Thank god that you guys are alive!" Mimi cried out.
Suddenly, Ikkakumon came pushing his way through the debris. Joe is seen on the digimon's back. He waves over to the group.
"Oh yeah. We've definitely got a lot of explaining to do," Tai said.
Now with the battle drawn to a close, will the Digi-Destined regroup and find out who this new evil force is? And will Matt reunite with his comrades?

Tai: Hi, it's me, Tai! What a hell of fight that was, but are we prepared to take another adventure into the unknown? We're being told by X that we should travel out to another digital world where Spiral Mountain is located.
TK: Spiral Mountain? Sounds like some wacked out amusement park!
Sora: I wonder what new evil will we find on that digital world?
Kari: I don't know about you, but I'm pretty anxious to find out!
Tai: Next time on Digimon Fusion, episode nineteen!
Digi-Destined Regroup! Destination: Spiral Mountain
TK: Don't you dare miss it!
**************************************************************************
Max: We're really coming down to the end of the Invaders Saga. We're drawing ever so closer to the Burizalor Saga. I'm excited, now I get a chance to see the first epic saga of the entire Fusion series.
Tai: Hell yeah. In my opinion, this was the climax of the entire series. It helped launched to the many fusion warriors.
Mega Man X: Awesome! We're impressed.
Zero: But we're still going to kick SSJ4T's ass.
Matt: One saga done and another one to go.
TK: So, we're technicially still within the first season time. That would be Digimon Adventure itself.
Max: Damn, we're out of time. Until then, we're out of here and be sure to check out the concluding chapter to this saga before we move onto the Burizalor Saga. Peace out, everyone.

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of it's characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine, it belongs to Akira Toriyama. I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X, Max, or the Life Bomb technique, because max acorn created them and I got his permission to use them.
Max: hey, guys! I'm running the show again after I ehard that SSJ4T got his ass kicked by Mega Man X and Zero.
Tai: Dude, I pity that fool. Maybe we should be running the show.
TK: Good idea, that will make things run a lot smoother.
Matt: Which reminds me, shouldn't we wrap this saga up and get ready for the Burizalor series?
Max: I think you got a damn good point. Since we have no guests today, we'll just go on with the fic! Read on, peeps!

Digi-Destined Regroup! Destination: Spiral Mountain
Sora placed her hand on Tai's right shoulder and rested her head on that same shoulder. TK and Kari held hands. Gatomon and Biyomon were looking after War Greymon. Just then, the group looked up to see their comrades arriving just in time. They saw Kabuterimon and Lillymon flying down with Izzy and Mimi on their backs.
"Hey there, guys!" Izzy exclaimed. "Whoa! This place is trashed. I guess there's a lot of explaining to do."
"Thank god that you guys are alive!" Mimi cried out.
Suddenly, Ikkakumon came pushing his way through the debris. Joe is seen on the digimon's back. He waves over to the group.
"Oh yeah. We've definitely got a lot of explaining to do," Tai said.
As soon as everyone gathered around, Tai and Sora began to explain everything that has happened within the battlegrounds. Kari was able to explain the gruesome battle against Etemon, plus the four lost casualities. There was a look of shock and utter disgust over the party.
"My god! How could Matt have joined those ruthless brutes?" Mimi said. "TK, I'm so sorry about your brother. It must have been hard for you."
"You don't have to apologize," the boy replied. "We managed to free his mind. I just hope he comes back and decides to join our side. I can't stand seeing him all alone."
"He's not alone," Tai said. "As long as Gabumon is with him, Matt should be able to take care of himself."
Everyone nodded as they began to get prepare for departion from the area. War Greymon had de-evolved back to Agumon and was placed onto Ikkakumon's back.
"Thanks for allowing Agumon to rest on Ikkakumon. He took one hell of a beating."
"Not a problem, Tai. I'm not surprised that he took a beating. That was one heck of a war, wasn't it?"
"More like a bloody genocide. I never want to go through something like that again. Hmmm, speaking of which, shouldn't we use the digicores?"
"We tried looking for them, but we were told that the four holy beasts were resting," Sora replied. "I forgot to mention that to you."
"Really?"
"That's right," Izzy stated. "We were told that they would be over the highest regions of the digital world. However, it will be very difficult to get there. We'll need something like a spaceship to get there."
"A spaceship in the digital world?" Kari asked.
"Hey, anything is possible. Who said that the digital world was ever logical?" Joe said.
"Logic as in science?" Ikkakumon asked. "That's a good one."
"Hmmm. Maybe X would know something about this. Afterall, he's the overseer of nearly the entire digital universe," tai replied.
"Who's X?" Izzy asked.
"He helped train Agumon and gave me inside detail of the digital world. He's pretty cool and has a phat simulation program. Alright, here goes nothing. I'm kind of rust of sending telepathetic messages, but I'll give it a shot."
"Since when did Tai use telepathy?" Sora pondered. "X must have taught him that. That's no surprise. Afterall, he was gone for pretty much a whole year."
Tai closed his eyes and quickly was able to send break through to the masked warrior. X felt a telepathic message and noticed that it was from Tai himself.
"Tai. You don't have to send me a telepathic message. I can hear you just fine from here. What's up?"
"You should have told me that earlier. Listen up, I'm wondering, where could the four holy beasts be found?"
"The four holy beasts? Ah, of course. Why do you think I'm called the overseer of the digital universe?"
"Nearly the entire digital universe, you say."
"Hey! I can hear him too," replied Gatomon.
"You can?"
"Remember, Kari, my ears are not just there to make up my head."
"Ok, I'm sure that my friends can hear you now. So, please tell us."
"When you and War Greymon went down, I honestly thought it was over. I was so impressed. TK really saved the day."
"X is commending us, TK."
"Wow, that's the first time that I've ever been praised for anything since my last report card."
"I didn't expect Metal Garurumon to be so powerful," Tai said. "Not even the freaking Mach Speed did much against him.
"Well, um. Yeah, Metal Garurumon's power was also a bit of a miscalculation. Ok, I made another mistake. Nobody is perfect."
"Was it right to left him leave?"
"I can't believe that you actually let him leave," Izzy said. "We could have reformed him."
"But, remember. Everybody needs their space at some point in their life," Kabuterimon stated.
"Ok, now there's something you have to know. It does concern the four holy beasts," said X. "As of now, they were captured and sealed away. All four of them were captured and their power was drained away."
"Whoa! Who could have done that?!" Tai asked.
"It looks like a new dark force has decided to rear it's ugly head. They were able to ambush the four beasts and managed to seal them away," X continued on. "The digicores were scattered and a portion of the digital world was taken apart. It was then reformed into a planet where a spiral-shaped mountain formed. Thus it was named 'Spiral Mountain'. And since then, this evil force has been on the hunt for the digicores."
"Holy crap!" Tai said. "So, there's somebody else looking for the digicores?"
"Any idea on who could have taken them?" TK asked.
"I have no information as of now. It seems that this dark force has been able to block out all communication transmission, including telepathic ones. It seems that they're desperate and will not tolerate for any intruders to interfer. They are onto something."
"So, when did they take this course of action?" Lillymon asked.
"During the year of preparation against the invaders. After Neo Devimon was defeated, not only was a transmission signal sent to the other invaders, but also the head hancho himself. He took the liberty to sending his minions to ambush the four beasts, drain their power and he single-handedly sealed them away."
"So, what's the deal? How are we going to find this Spiral Mountain planet?" Tai asked.
"Good thing that you asked. If you guys were to take the pods which the invaders were using, it would have taken you nearly a thousand earth years to get there. Yes, it is very far. The invaders had very poor ways of getting around than their head leader does. he has the technology of getting anywhere around the digital universe in a matter of days."
"Well, how are we going to find a form of transportation that will get us there in days?" the goggleboy asked once again. "We can't get there within a thousand years. it will all be too late."
"That's why I have provided a ship for you guys," X replied. "Do please, turn around. There's somebody I'd like you to meet."
As soon as everyone turned around, they saw a teenage girl with golden brown hair and blue eyes. The boys looked at her with great satisfaction as they felt their hearts beating.
"Whoa! What a babe!" Tai said. "Um.."
Tai turned to face Sora, who gave him a rather displeasant look.
"Ok, she's not my type."
"Don't worry. I see that look from every guy that looks at me. I guess I'm pretty special," the girl said. "By the way, my name is Keke. I'll be providing you with this ship."
"So, will that ship really get us there in a matter of days," Mimi asked.
"Yeah."
"Hmmm. For some odd reason, this girl looks kind of like me," Mimi thought. "She certainly has good taste in fashion. Hmmm."
"Tai. You're an exception. I want you to stay. Because I have a little something that will suite Agumon's needs," X replied. "So, are you willing to stay."
"But, what about the others?"
"Do not worry about them. They'll be fine as long as the digimon are with them," the masked fighter said. "I'm certain that you will arrive at the planet to meet them, but this will be determined by the amount of recovery time Agumon has."
"So, it's all up to Agumon's recovery?"
"Yes, and let me tell you. He's in pretty bad condition. It will take quite a while for his wounds to get healed."
"It's all up to you buddy. Let's just pray that your wounds heal and we'll be able to catch up with the others."
*******************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the hovercraft which carried Matt and Gabumon were drifting into space. It was making it's way back to it's original location. That location was relatively unknown to this point. However, this was the same location where the evil one resided.
The evil one sat in a chair and peered through a monitor. His eyes gave off a crimson glow while taking a sip from a glass. The presence spoke in a rather snake-like voice.
"So, Yamato has failed me. Well, it doesn't really matter now. I don't have a use for him anymore. Though, I'd like to thank him and Neo Devimon for allowing me to seal the holy beasts away and allowing me the opportunity to find the digicores. Spiral Mountain looks magificant. Soon, the entire digital universe will be trembling and bowing before me. Prepare for an age of darkness..."
So, this must be the one who manipulated Matt into attacking his own friends? Just, how will our heroes fare against this new threat? The time of crisis is at hand and there isn't much time to lose.

Tai: Yo, it's Tai! What a break Agumon and I get! I just don't see why my friends have to go onto this dangerous adventure without me. Man, it sucks to be put at the sidelines. I hope you recover well, buddy.
TK: Yay! We'll get to see what this Spiral Mountain looks like!
Kari: But, I wonder? This darkness? Who is really behind this scheme?
Tai: Next time on Digimon Fusion, episode twenty!
The Ship is Ready! Blast off to Spiral Mountain!
TK: Don't miss this!
******************************************************************************
Max: Kick ass saga! Now, we're continuing on towards the Burizalor Saga.
Tai: Finally, the first actual epic saga that changes the fate of the entire Digimon Fusion series.
TK: Too bad SSJ4T can't be here to see it.
[SSJ4T walks in with a bruised up face.]
Matt: So, did you get you ass kicked?
[SSJ4T falls to the ground face-first.]
Max: That's a big 'Hell Yeah'! So, be sure to check out the first chapter of the rewritten Burizalor Saga sometime soon. Until then...
SSJ4T: No! That's my line, foo! Until then, peace out!

Max: Make sure you do, so I can this damn show.
Tai: No kidding.
Takato: So, what did I miss?
SSJ4T: Just a few quests here and there. Where the hell have you been boy?
Takato: Spending some quality time with Rika.
Max: Oh, you sly dog! I think we should get prepared for the new saga! This is the one which I've been waiting for.
SSJ4T: The epic Burizalor Saga. This one saga will forever change the fate of the entire Digimon Fusion series!
Takato: I can hardly wait. Too bad I'm not in it.
SSJ4T: I was thinking of having you make slight cameo appearances during the Virus Saga.
Takato: Better early than enver, I suppose. Will I be the only tamer to make those cameos.
SSJ4T: No. Rika, Henry and the others might make appearances too. That way I can get you guys ready for the saga after Virus.
Tai: Well, that's enough talk. I say we start the new official saga!
SSJ4T: Right! We'll just shut up, so you guys can read! Enjoy the fic!

"Well, how are we going to find a form of transportation that will get us there in days?" the goggleboy asked once again. "We can't get there within a thousand years. it will all be too late."
"That's why I have provided a ship for you guys," X replied. "Do please, turn around. There's somebody I'd like you to meet."

"Ok, she's not my type."
"Don't worry. I see that look from every guy that looks at me. I guess I'm pretty special," the girl said. "By the way, my name is Keke. I'll be providing you with this ship."
"So, will that ship really get us there in a matter of days," Mimi asked.
"Yeah."
"Hmmm. For some odd reason, this girl looks kind of like me," Mimi thought. "She certainly has good taste in fashion. Hmmm."
"Tai. You're an exception. I want you to stay. Because I have a little something that will suite Agumon's needs," X replied. "So, are you willing to stay."

"It's all up to you buddy. Let's just pray that your wounds heal and we'll be able to catch up with the others."
"Wow! No kidding! You really got a spaceship we can use?" TK asked Keke.
"Yeah. We thought it was pretty crappy-looking when it was given to us, but it's pretty useful."
"You know something, she kind of reminds me of somebody. Ever notice her obsession with pink," Joe said.
"Hey, you're right. Hmmm, hey Mimi. What do you think?" Sora asked.
"Huh? I guess she really does have good taste. I mean what kind of girl wouldn't like pink? It's such a cool color!"
Everyone else simply sweat=dropped, which brought a giggle from Keke. The girl son spoke up as she halted.
"Now if one of yall would just come with me, then I will show you the ship."
"But why just one of us?" Kari asked.
"Because I only have enough power to transport two people. Since I'm one person, I can only vessel another."
"Ok. We've got a volunteer. Mimi, would you care to join her?" Joe said.
"What? You want me to go? Hmmm, I guess so. I'll do it for the team," she replied. "Besides, I like this girl. She has good fashion taste."
"So, I'm ready whenever you are."
"Let's go, Keke."
"I've kind of figured that they would choose you."
Mimi walks over to Keke. Palmon attempts to go over to accompany her partner, but the digimon were able to restrain her.
"Just place your hand on my shoulder and we'll be off."
With that said, Mimi places a hand on Keke's shoulder and they were quickly transported from out of the location. The Digi-Destined were taken back by the teleportation's speed.
"Well, I guess there's not anyone who can figure out how she did that," Tentomon asked.
"What I want to know who's spaceship is it?" Izzy pondered. "We'll just have to find out, once they return."
*********************************************************************
Meanwhile, Keke and Mimi found themselves in a desolent landscape, where it was pretty much inhabitable by digimon life. Or any type of living thing for that matter. The winds were very strong and the thunder storms were rapidly violent. This looked like a visual of what the birth of a planet may have once looked like. Mimi looked around in astonishment.
"We're here. I guess this isn't what you call paradise," Keke said.
"No, you're right. This isn't paradise. These winds are way too strong! Ack my skirt!"
"Don't worry, there's no peeping toms around ehre."
"So, where are we? It's way too cold for anything to live here!"
"We're on a digital planet called Koltez. We've just arrived during it's summer season. You really don't want to know how cold it gets during the winter. trust me."
"I'd rather not find out."
"Exactly. We're in the farthest regions of the lower realm. Alright, now where did I find that ship. Ah, this way. Follow me."
With that said, Keke led the way through a barren, sandy landscape. The mountains stood still, but were being forced away by the strong winds.
"You really expect me to believe that there's s spaceship here? I don't think I know anyone who could live here. They'd be freaking psychos or even hermits."
"Don't ask me why. X was the one who sent me here. He was the one who told me about this planet. Ah! I see it. We're here."
"Huh?"
The girls stood as they looked over to what looked like a spaceship. However, it wasn't something Mimi had expected. It was long and had spikes sticking out from different sides. It stood straight up with skinny legs keeping it in good balance. It looked like noone has been using for many years. Mimi rushes over towards the ship and examines it. Keke follows along.
"So, this is the spaceship? Umm, I don't think it's of any use. It looks way too old and rusty."
"Not your style either, huh? I believe that we can still work with it."
"How do you figure that?"
"C'mon. I'll show you."
Keke walks up through a hatchet door and climbs inside the ship. Mimi tags along and goes wide-eyed by the tremendous technology within the ship.
"Wow! This is insane! I've never seen such gizmos!" Mimi exclaimed. "Man, you expect me to work with these? I can't even use my micromove correctly!"
"Don't worry. I'll give you a step-by-step procedure. It isn't hard once you get used to it."
"So, what did X tell you about this ship?"
"Well, he did tell me that many years ago, he used this ship to navigate throughout the digital world. He was able to travel to different parts of the digital universe. This was his family's favorite vessel, expecially on vacationing trips."
"I've been meaning to ask you. Who are X's parents?"
"You're pretty curious about knowing a person you haven't seen before. are ya? Well, I'm not allowed to say, but his father was the said to be the greatest warrior to grace the digital universe."
"Wow, so this X has a background? So, what's your relationship to him?"
"i'm just his assistant. That's all."
"Aww,c'mon. You must like him for some reason. It's okay to admit it."
"No. We're just close companions. Look, we really need to activate this ship."
"Then, let's get started."
"Wow. I never thought she would be this pushy. We'll, there's no use talking sense to her. We've got more important matters."
"So, what's the conditions?"
"For the ship. Hang on. Let me check. Ok, the door's working. So there has to be plenty of power in this old thing. Alright, I don't see the main switch anywhere."
"Hey, doesn't this look like the main switch?" Mimi asked as she pointed to a large white button. "Hmmm, gee. I guess not."
"That's weird. I wonder if there's some kind of passcode around here. ugh, why did X leave me with such a difficult task. He should have let the ladies' man handle this"
"Ladies' man?"
"A friend of mine. He is good with this sort of stuff. Oh well, it's all up to me now."
"I really don't think these tiny buttons are the ones either. Ugh, you're right. This is too confusing. I'm not into computers either! Too many buttons and numbers!"
"Wait, I think those small buttons are some kind of sensors! Yeah! X told me about voice sensors! Those are the voice sensors!"
"Voice sensors?"
"Yeah! Words! Like the entrance!"
"Since the door automatically opens and closes to it's new owner, the owner has to use words to activate it entirely. Let me try something. Ok! Ship! Fly! Zoom! Lift-off! Ugh! Travel!"
Keke punched the seat and was starting to grow frustrated. Mimi took a step backwards as the girl was ever so close to venting a violent rage.
"It's no use! it wouldn't be in earth language! Ugh, too bad nobody knows any digital code language. Wait, I remember X using digital code language. He really learned quite well and he taught me a little of it. Hah! I do remember how to speak simple commands with digital code language! Keke, looks like I'm getting through to you now."
"Um, so are we going to lift off anytime soon?" Mimi asked.
"Don't you worry. I've got this under control."
"Then, let's get a move on. I don't want to be stuck here forever."
"Right. I'll command it to transport to fly us back to where we left off."
"Couldn't we just transport it there?"
"That is beyond the ship's ability. This model isn't advanced enough to teleport from different parts of the digital universe. It sucks I know."
"It totally sucks."
"Alright here goes nothing."
Keke quickly spoke in a rather unknown language, which was considered the digital code language. It was beyond any earth language and far advanced than either english or japanese. Mimi feels the ship beginning to lift and she looks over at the main screen.
"It says 'roger'. Looks like it worked! You're so great, Keke! You have to teach me that!"
"Sure, we've got plenty of time before we get back."
The girls ran over towards a nearby window and watches as the ship was quickly carried off into space itself. At this rate, they should be returning back to the lower realm to meet up with the others in no time.
"We did it!" Mimi cried out. "Oh yeah! Now we can get back and tell the others! This is so...oooo...I think I need to lie there. Too much excitement. I need something sugary to calm myself.."
"Yeah. I know how you feel."
"Two minds really think alike, Keke. You know I'm really starting to like you. Wanna be friends?"
"We're already friends, Mimi. Soon, we'll be more than just friends."
"I'm glad. You like pink and we both don't like using high-tech gizmos. Though, you seem much more familiar with this stuff."
"X has been teaching me here and there. I just get used to it."
"I ought to take you to my home and show you around the neat shopping malls! You'll love the great collection they have!"
"Don't worry about that. The malls we have are ten times better. You ought to try them out sometime when I get the free time."
"Please do."
As the girls chatted away, the ship was setting a course back to the lower realm. From there, they would gather the remaining Digi-Destined and round them up into the ship. From there, they would lift-off towards the Spiral Mountain planet.
**************************************************************************
As soon as Mimi and Keke arrived back, the Digi-Destined of Sincerity was letting her friends know everything about the ship. They were astonished to what they heard.
"This spaceship is so perfect!" Mimi exclaimed. "With that we can get to Sprail Mountain in just a month!"
"So, when do we plan on taking off?" Sora asked.
"In about five days."
"yeah, so we can make sure and repair for the time being," Keke replied.
"Wow! We get to go to Spiral Mountain planet with this spaceship?! How awesome!" TK exclaimed.
"Keke, I guess we'll leave everything to you."
"I'm sorry, Mimi. I'm not going."
"But you're the one who understands the digital code language! Plus, we could use your help through you know navigation!"
"I'm prohibited from going. You guys are on your own. If I were to interfer, then there would be no way that you're digimon can get stronger. Plus, during these five days, I'll be teaching you the code language. I'll teach all of you."
"Wow, that would be swell," Izzy said. " I can really input that code language into my computer. It's a pinch."
"Plus, you were learning the code language, Mimi," Palmon said. "That mean would that we would need you."
"Ugh. Why am I always dragged into these situations. I just want a hot bath."
"Plus, we'll all be going with you," TK said.
"Except my brother and Agumon. X has insisted that they stay here for the time being," replied Kari.
"Man, you're lucky Tai," Sora said.
"I guess so. I really wanted to go and help you guys," Tai said. "But Agumon comes firat and I need to look after him."
"He's in really bad condition," Keke said. "If he rests now, then I'd say he would be ready to go in just five days and no less."
"I wonder how big this Spiral Mountain will be," said TK. "I bet it's huge!"
"We'll know once we get there," Joe said. "We've got plenty of time for preparations."
"And food? What about food? You don't expect us to starve to death, do ya?" Gomamon said.
"Don't worry," Keke said. "We've got it covered. You guys do your parts and retrieve those four digicores."
Everyone nodded as they started to plan out everything that be set for the month's trip to Spiral Mountain. Unfortunately, Tai and Agumon were told to remain on the lower realm. So this will allow Agumon time to recover, but the real reason was because X has provided a very special surprise for the two.
****************************************************************************
Five days have passed and the day of departure has been set. The Digi-Destined gathered around the ship with their eyes glazed open. Tai was sitting down while Agumon was resting inside a glass chamber. Keke walked over and checked the ship to make sure that everything was in perfect order. She gives a thumbs up to the Digi-Destined crew.
"Wow. Can we really go into space with this?" Patamon asked.
"Yeah. It's going to be so cool!" TK replied.
"I've got plenty of the things I need. Shampoo, face mask, extra snacks, and other accessories. Keke, you know the best places to shop," Mimi said.
"I've never been to outer space before," Gatomon said. "Kari, you know what it looks like?"
"No, but I can say that it's huge and it's pretty. You get to see the stars and many planets. Since it's going to be a month's trip, we'll be able to see plenty of planets."
"Wow, how cool. I can't wait."
"Kek, are they ready to depart?"
"Yeah. They're ready. They're more than ready. The ship is prepared. The food has been stocked and they should be well fed for a month."
"Good. Paying for all of that food was a pain. My credit card bill is going to look like hell."
"Ok guys. Let's get ready then," Keke said.
The Digi-Destined entered the ship and were quite astonished at what they were seeing. Keke toured them around the ship and gave them the necessary instructions.
"I've taught you guys everything that I know of the digital code language. It's all up to you now."
"We've got everything in order," Izzy said. "Thanks for everything."
"Yeah, we could ahve been lost without you," replied Sora.
"Keke. Thanks," Mimi said. "Thanks for the shopping. Now I know where to go shopping from now on."
"Anything. Just be sure you come back safely. That way we can go shopping as a way to celebrate."
"C'mon, Mimi! We're leaving!" TK exclaimed.
"Yeah! We're not going to come back and get you either!" Palmon cried out.
Mimi runs over and gives Keke a tight hug before rushing back towards the ship. The groups waves off as the door hatchet closes.
"Good luck guys. We're counting on you," Keke said.
"Agumon. Just recover as much as you can. We'll definitely need you at one hundred percent," Tai thought.
"Tai. Trust me on this one. Once Agumon recovers, I have much bigger plans for the two of you. Just trust me on this one."
"I trust you. The others can manage to handle this on their own."
*******************************************************************************
Hours after it's departure from the lower realm, the spaceship was out traveling through the empty regions of digital space. Izzy and Tentomon took command of the operation since they were very good with control operations. Everyone else were taking it easy and talking amongst themselves.
"Ok. Looks like we'll be ok for now. We're free to move around now. We've just departed from out of the atmosphere."
"Whoa! Already! Now this is what I call a spaceship," TK said. "Those astronauts back at home will be so jealous of us."
"I'm surprised that you even know hot to operate a ship, Izzy," Tentomon said.
"It's a piece of cake, since Keke helped teach me how to use and activate each control."
"I've always wanted to see what the digital world would look like from outside in space," Mimi said. "It's so beautiful."
"It is. Wow, I can see my home from here!" Palmon replied.
"Mine too!" Patamon exclaimed.
"Man, the digital world's outside universe doesn't look any different from ours," said TK.
"Look at the stars, TK!"
"I can see them, Kari. So, we'll actually be at Spiral Mountain in under a month?'
"Yeah. That's what Keke told us," Izzy replied. "We should have plenty to eat upon our arrival."
"I wonder if there are any drive thru places on the way in space?" Tentomon said. "What? I was just wondering."
"Tai. I just hope Agumon has pretty much recovered by now. We'll really need you," Sora thought. "Who knows what kind of an operation this new evil has planned. If he was able to single-handedly seal all four holy beasts, what chance do we have in stopping him?"
"I just hope that we'll rejoin with my brother and I pray that he fights along our side," TK said in thought.
Our heroes make their journey over to Spiral Mountain. In a month's time, they will land and confront the dark force that has decided to take matters into their own hands and steal away all four digicores. Hurry up, Agumon! You need to recover, so that you and Tai can catch up with the others. What dark force has landed on Spiral Mountain?

TK: Yay! We've landed on Spiral Mountain!
Izzy: What a month's trip that was! Alright, we move out!
Matt: I've finally recovered! So he has left for Spiral Mountain!
Metalseadramon: Yes he has and there's nothing you can do to stop him!
Matt: Damn him! Those digicores are mine!

Tai: Man, I'm so bummed out.
SSJ4T: Don't worry, you'll get your time later on in the saga.
Takato: At least you'll be featured into it. I'm going to have to wait until the Virus Saga for a cameo or two.
TK: So, with that prologue out of the way. Who's our new guest for net time?
SSJ4T: We've got two. Pikkan and Jeri!
Max: Aw, shit! Nobody looks at Jeri! That goes for you too, dude!
SSJ4T: What? I have interest in her. I know how hot-headed these alterians can get.
Tai: Pikkan. That's the last dude you want to piss off.
SSj4T: I've got this under control. We're just about out of time. Until then, I think it's time we get the hell out of here. Peace!

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Yamato and Gabumon Recover! Touchdown on Spiral Mountain!
Deep in digital space, the spaceship was traveling out as it continued it's voyage towards Spiral Mountain. It had been a month, but it really felt like days rather than a month. It seems everything within and outside the digital world seem to be logical. The Digi-Destined were able to survive the journey. The digimon were well-fed and were given time to rest before their long expedition through the mysterious Spiral Mountain planet.
Once they arrive there, they would begin their search for the digicores and help restore the balance to the digital world. However, they were going to go through perhaps a very powerful army led by a mysterious dark force with enough power to strike fear throughout the digital universe.
On the other hand, some just weren't up for the opportunity to explore into unknown terrority and would rather slack off.
Mimi yawned as she slowly got up from her bed. She hunched over and saw the digimon gathered in one area as they feed amongst the leftovers. TK, Sora, Joe and Kari were playing go fish while Izzy was still at control of the ship. She slides off the bed and slowly stands on her feet. She looks over and stretches.
"Wow, how long was I asleep for?" the girl asked.
"I'd say nearly a whole day. You were pretty bummed out," Palmon replied.
"Really a whole day? Is it just me or has this trip really felt like a few days rather than a month."
"You're not the only one," Izzy said. "According to a theory of mine, a month equals several days in the digital universe. Remember, time flies by faster here than in our world."
"So Keke just made calculations through earth's time? Man, I thought we'd really have to sit through a whole month in this ship."
"Here to think that we would have scarfed the food right down," TK said.
"Those guys are really enjoying themselves," Kari said.
The children looked over to their digimon, who were eating like pigs. Food was being consumed faster than they could say 'go fish'. Mimi was appalled by their messy consumption.
Ugh. Here I've always said that their manners are appalling."
"Can't say I blame them," Joe said. "They really need the food. They're going to be the ones who are going to do all the fighting."
"Who said we ahve to?" Gomamon said. "We could just let you handle the dirty work."
"What?! That's suicide! I can't believe you would think such a horrible thing!" he exclaimed.
Everyone laughed at Gomamon's comment, just beofre Izzy detected something through his computer.
"Pipe down everyone! I'm picking up some sort of signal from out in the distance."
"Any idea of what it could be Izzy?"
"No. But we should be out of danger. There's a zero chance that it maybe an enemy spacecraft."
"Well, make sure and double check," Sora said. "There's no telling if Matt decides to come back and hunt us down."
"My brother wouldn't do that. If he wanted to meet up with us again, it would most likely be on Spiral Mountain. I'm very sure he knows that we're heading there."
"I agree with TK. He knows his brother better than anyone," Patamon said.
"Don't worry, TK. I'm sure we'll run into him as soon as we get there," Kari assured her friend.
"Speaking of my brother, I wonder where he's at now."
************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the spacecraft which harbored both Matt and Gabumon was flying through space and was heading towards a nearby planet. The planet looked rather inhabitable for digital life. This planet is called Planet Buriza No. 47. The craft had just arrived nearly 7 days after being sent to the lower realm. Matt had failed to capture Takeru and destroy the Digi-Destined. This was not going to make any of the higher elite warriors any happy after Matt's failed attempts.
Two soldiers were playing poker with one another, until their game was interrupted by the sound of a ship landing. They looked up to find a spacecraft making it's way onto the landing dock.
"Something is coming," the Phantomon soldier said.
"Is it Lord Burizalor?" asked the Golemon. "it couldn't be him, he had just left for Spiral Mountain."
"Hmmm. It looks like a combatant craft," replied Phantomon. "The signal is coming from...What?! Yamato and Gabumon?"
"This is strange! We haven't even been informed of his arrival," said Golemon. "Did something happen?"
"This is control!" Phantomon spoke through a transmitter. "Yamato is arriving! Receive him at once!"
With that said, several digimon elite were surrounding the dock and awaited for the hovercraft to land. The craft landed and the soldiers walks over towards it.
"I see only one!" a Snimon said. "I wonder what happened to Etemon."
The soldiers stood straight and kept their mouths closed, as the hovercraft opened. Smoke came out which revealed Matt and Gabumon in very critical conditions.
"Hey! They're life signs are very weak!" Tuskmon said.
"They're using life support!" Snimon exclaimed. "Th-This is bad! We better take them to treatment center on the double!"
With that said, they took the two bodies over to the Treatmen Center and were able to place them both inside two separate healing chambers. Numerous of medical authorities occupied the center to check upon their latest patients. They had never expected Matt and Gabumon to arrive in such horrible conditions. They were nearly about to die if they hadn't been properly treated.
In a matter of hours, their healing was complete. A Ladydevimon stood by and watched as the healing was complete.
"You're all healed now," Ladydevimon said. "Wake up sleepy price."
With that said, Matt opened his eyes and looked across the room in surprise. Gabumon slipped out from his chamber and shook the liquid from his fur.
"No! Not here, you damn mutt!" Ladydevimon exclaimed.
"So, we're back," matt said.
"We were unable to regenerate Gabumon's tail," Ladydevimon replied.
"No problem. He should be fine without it," Matt said.
As soon as Matt went over to put on his clothes, Ladydevimon was reading through his medical report.
"You were fortunate to survive. You had gone through all of those days without food. If you hadn't used life support, you would have died of starvation. Gabumon was in much worse condition. However, with new enhanced technology we've borrowed from the natives of this once proud planet, we were able to use it to speed up the healing process."
"Neat. So is he in? Is Lord Burizalor in?"
"No. He has gone out, why do you ask?" the demonic woman asked.
"No reason."
"I was told by Lord Metalsedramon for you and Gabumon to come to the training room after your treatment. He really needs to talk to you both."
"Tell that rust bucket that we have nothing to say," said Matt.
"You forgot your scouter, Yamato."
"We don't need it. You can have it."
"What?" Ladydevimon said. "How can anyone turn down an offer like that?"
"We'll head back to the digital world and check out if TK is still there," Matt said.
"You think they'd still be there after what we had just arrived there?"
"Don't question me, Gabumon. I have an even better idea. I say we go to Spiral Mountain."
Matt and Gabumon walked through the corridors as several digimon side-stepped to allow them to pass through. Others simply showed respect and saluted them. Matt simply rolled his eyes until he stopped. Gabumon stopped as he growled to find Metalseadramon floating right in front of them.
"Hello, fellas. I heard you two went through hell. I heard that Neo Devimon and Etemon died too. So, who could have done this to the presumable invincible duo?"
"Get the hell out of our faces, rust bucket," Matt growled. "I don't have the time to waste with your blabber."
"Hey, listen up. Lord Burizalor is angry that you guys did all this without his permission."
"Well, he shouldn't be complaining if he's not ehre."
"But Lord Burizalor is very generous. I hear that he's going to forgive you since you've discovered something wonderful for him."
"What?!"
"Thanks to Neo Devimon's transmission, he was very pleased that he has the chance to obtain eternal youth and life."
"What?! So he's taken off to..."
"Spiral Mountain."
"Dammit! He listened to our conversation through our scouters! I should have known better! Why was I so stupid to let that slip my mind?! Gabumon and I are going to ahve to beat him there before we're forced to do his bidding forever!"
"I've also heard that you wanted eternal youth with those digicores, too. But, give it up. Lord Burizalor is planning to annihilate Spiral Mountain and the four holy beasts once he gets his wish."
"That bastard! Let's go, Gabumon!"
"Wait, Yamato!"
But the duo were quickly heading out into a nearby hovercraft. They jumped inside as Matt activated it. The craft started up and flies out towards space. Matta ctivated the craft into automatic drive and set a course for Spiral Mountain. The boy was beyond angry. As a matter of fact, angry was just an understatement for Matt.
"No! He's not going to get away with it, Gabumon! Those digicores are mine!"
**********************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the Digi-Destined were just moments away from landing onto their destination: Spiral Mountain. It was the They took a peek at the mountain's magnificance.
"Wow! How pretty!" Mimi exclaimed.
"We're here! We're finally here!" TK said.
"We did it! We're finally here!" the entire group exclaimed while cheering.
The ship started to loom ever closer over the planet as izy prepared to make landing opertaions.
"Unbelivable!" Palmon exclaimed.
"So that's Spiral Mountain?" Patamon asked TK. "I never thought it would be so.."
"Big? It's really awesome! This even beats Mt. Everest!"
"Fasten your safety belts everyone! It's going to be a bumpy ride!" Izzy exclaimed.
"But that's if we even find a place to land at all," replied Tentomon.
With that said, the spaceship goes crashing through the atmosphere. The entire group screamed their wits off as the ship was prepared to crash onto the planet's surface. Suddenly, the ship suddenly slowed down and landed safely onto the planet's surface. The children sighed a big relief.
"We've land, guys," Izzy said. "We're finally on Spiral Mountain planet."
"Wow! This is so cool! We would be the first humans to travel through digital space!" TK exclaimed.
"We're sort of like pioneers in our own right," Sora said.
"Now before we go exploring, let me check the atmospheric composition," replied Izzy. "I was lucky to upload external sensors to my computer. Now just in case there's any amount of oxygen, I've brought these oxygen masks just in case.."
"Um, nobody is here but us insect digimon..."
Izzy fell backwards as Tentomon sweat-dropped. The other children were outside the ship and seemed to be breathing quite well. The oxygen level seemed to be at earth's level and very suitable for non-digital life.
"Hmmm. This looks just like our world," Gatomon said.
"Well, it was a piece of our world being taken out with the digicores," Sora replied. "So in a way, we're still in the digital world."
"You're right," Biyomon stated. "I believe I'm quite familiar with this part of the digital world. I wonder if there are any inhabitants we can speak with."
"Hey! Wait for me!" Izzy exclaimed. "You just had to go and leave me behind!"
"He gets quite tempermentive," Tentomon replied.
"I think we should get going and look for those digicores. We'll use my computer to track them down."
"But, how can we be sure if it will actually track them down? We could find other stuff besides digicores?" Joe said.
"I'm positive we'll find them with my computer. Gennai had also uploaded a program where we can find a tremendous single form of energy. That not just includes our digivices, but also the digicores. I'm positive that the digicores emit the same amount of energy as our digivices when they activate. Does that sound logical?"
"Logical as mud," Mimi replied. "We don't have super mathematical minds like you do. Couldn't you like speak in simple terms?"
"Ugh, I'll discuss that later. We have digicores to look for."
"I told you that he gets quite tempermentive," Tentomon said.
"Don't remind us," Kari said.
Just then, Izzy took a look on the computer radar and was picking up the location of what appeared to be a digicore. He gasped and called for the other children.
"You guys! Quick! You have to check this out!"
"What is it?" TK asked. "Did you manage to find one already?"
"We have a reading! There are indeed digicores here! Looks like my calculations are correct," said Izzy.
"You're right and they don't seem to be moving positions. They are most likely digicores!" Sora stated.
Suddenly, Patamon flew over TK and peered over towards a far distance. The digimon picked up several strong ki readings, perhaps from other digimon inhabitants.
"You guys. There's some strong ki that way.." Patamon responded.
"Ki?" Kari asked.
"Who could it be coming from?" Tk pondered.
"Ah, the little guy is right!" Gomamon replied.
"I feel a lot of them!" Biyomon exclaimed.
"What could it be?" Palmon asked. "Friend or foe?"
"I'm guessing that those would be the inhabitants most likely," Izzy responded. "There's no need to worry."
"Yeah, besides, Keke said that these inhabitants would be friendly enough to help with our expedition," Mimi said. "It only makes sense if they have strong 'ki' or whatever you like to call it."
"No. You're wrong, Mimi," Patamon. "The ki seems dark..and evil.."
"But even Keke said that these digimon were quiet and peaceful inhabitants," said Mimi.
"Yeah and isn't that exactly where that digicore is laying?" Sora asked.
"Yeah and I say we go meet the natives," Tentomon said.
"Man, you guys worry over such the littlest things," Mimi said. "Take a chill pill!"
Just then, as everyone was beginning to head out for their expedition, a hovercraft came crashing through the atmosphere. They quite a good glimpse of it and their eyes widened in shock.
"Does that look familiar?" Palmon asked.
"It's an alien hovercraft! The same one Matt and Etemon used!" cried out Kari.
The hovercraft goes landing off into the far distance. The children were fortunate to have landed from a further distance than the hovercraft itself.
"How can that be?!" TK asked.
"It can't be and I refuse to believe it, but it is!" Patamon replied.
"Everyone! Supress your ki, so that whoever comes out doesn't spot you!" Biyomon ordered.
"It has to be Matt and Gabumon! I just have a feeling," said Gatomon.
"So I'm guessing that they got healed already," said Tentomon. "Remember, I'm willing to bet that they're after those same digicores too."
"I say we get the heck out of here! I don't want anything to do with this!" Mimi exclaimed. "I'm too young to met my end!"
"Yet, we can't let him take those digicores," Sora said. "I'm still not sure if we can trust him after what he did back in the digital world."
"Ok, we'll Palmon and I will be sitting over here and watch up on the old R & R."
"What's an R & R, Mimi?"
"Let's just stay here and chill. We'll let the others handle this."
Mimi gave a smile, which caused everyone else to have a sweatdrop coming down their heads. Suddenly, everyone looked up and saw another hovercraft landing for the surface. They gasped and were beginning to wonder if searching for the digicores was even a good idea.
"Ok, maybe we should be heading back for the digital world," Joe said.
"I wonder what the heck is going on around here?" Gomamon pondered. "Is everyone after those digicores. We're really in a struggle for survival here."
"For once, I agree with ya buddy," replied Joe.
**********************************************************************************
Further off from the Digi-Destined's location, Matt got on top of a newly-digivolved Metal Garurumon and placed the scouter over his face. he activated and started to pick up several ki readings.
"That damn Burizalor!" Matt muttered. "Those digicores are mine!"
"You think they have found out about our rebellion?"
"No question about it, Gabumon. It's very obvious. Knowing Burizalor's minions, they probably brought up some gossip about it," the boy said. "I fear no one, but Burizalor is a different matter. Since he's already sealed away the four holy beasts, I'll have to wish for immortality if I hope to beat him."
"I really didn't think you would use that crappy scouter."
"Yeah they're crap, but they'll be useful for quite a while. There. I can pick up several strong energy signals. Burizalor brought Myotismon and Machinedramon with him as well."
"Let's move!"
"Lead the way, my friend."
With that said, Metal Garurumon sped off into the distance and went along to find the location of Burizalor's main group. He would to contend with not just Burizalor himself but also his elite team of Myotismon and Machinedramon.
******************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a village of digimon had been hoarded by a group of powerful pirates. Several dead bodies were found all over the ground. Some were severely incapitated, while others were brutally dismembered. Two of which were decapitated. Only a few of the villagers survived the onslaught and were forced to do the pirate's biddings.
A Divermon came walking out from a home with a digicore. He walks over and holds it out to where his collueges were about to view it.
"It is ours, Lord Burizalor. This is the second digicore," said the Divermon.
"Thank you. Now we have one left to go."
The evil one was brought into view. He didn't seem as menacing as many soldiers have claimed, but he had quite an evil ki that scared the wits out of even the strongest of mega digimon. The evil one sat inside a small hovercraft carrier, only without a glass shield to protect him. He was quite short with an armored-like helmet and two demonic horns sticking out the sides. His face was white as a ghost, yet blue colorations were at the sides. His arms were short with armor-like hands. His eyes were crimson and were quite intimidating. He wore the same kind of armor which Neo Devimon, Etemon and many of the soldiers were wearing. Machinedramon stood at his right side with a digicore in his clawed hand. There was also a Myotismon standing on the left side.
"Look after it well, Machine," Burizalor spoke in a deep snake-like voice. "I hear that Yamato is after them."
"Affirmative, sir."
"Lord Burizalor, I sense that Metalseadramon has just arrived," Myotismon said. He should be pursuing Yamato and his digimon by now. The other power readings I've just picked up earlier had just reappeared yet disappeared."
"No matter. Our main priority is to get rid of Yamato. Metalsedramon will dispatch those two long enough. Those two have had quite a blood-boiling rivalry. He should be enough to destroy Yamato and allow me to obtain eternal life."
***********************************************************************************
Metalseadramon searched the grounds where he had just landed. he looked over and saw the other hovercraft, which contained Matt earlier ago. He smirked and activated his scouter.
"You won't get away from me, Yamato. I know you like the back of my fins."
Now the face of evil has been revealed. Burizalor seeks eternal life, yet Yamato will do anything to stop him. Can the other Digi-Destined intercept Burizalor's army and take the two digicores?
[Digimon Adventure first ending theme "I Wish" plays]
TK: Those digicores have to be here somewhere!
Sora: Hey, look! There's something over the skies above!
Gatomon: Who the heck is that?!
Matt: So, we met again, rust bucket.
Metalsedramon: We'll settle this bullshit here and now. What makes you think that your digimon can defeat me?
Matt: Easy. Metal Garurumon has a surprise and you're going to be the first to feel the wrath of his newly acquired power.
Burizalor: What? Is this coming from Yamato?!
TK: Next time on Digimon Fusion, episode twenty-two!

Kari: Don't miss it!

Max: So, Burizalor has shown himself! He seems no different from the Warlord. I wonder how much trouble he's eventually going to give my dad and his buds.
Tai: I just hope we don't get slaughtered beofre the big fight.
Pikkan: You shouldn't. That would be way too early. How did you like the show, Jeri?
Jeri: Wonderful, we should come here again sometime.
SSJ4T: I'm glad yall enjoyed. Next time, we're going to have Renamon and BW show up!
Takato: Wow, we're stacking up on the couples, aren't we?
SSJ4T: Yep. Damn, we're out of time! Everyone take it easy and peace out! Cause we're outta here! Play our music!

SSJ4T: We're back with another edition of Digimon Fusion and we're just about ready to get deeper into the Burizalor storyline. As you guys know that this was originally the first Digimon Fusion saga, but I felt that the entire series was incomplete. So, I called for a rewrite of the entire series. This will either make or break Digimon Fusion. It's all up to you.
Max: Hey, what's up bro?!
BW: I'm just chillin'. I brought Renamon, my sugar baby! Let's make some love.
Renamon: We've got a episode to watch first, then we'll have some fun later.
BW: I'm up for it.
SSJ4T: So without further ado, read the fic! You two lovebirds better keep it clean until after the show.

Metal Garurumon's Hidden Powers! Metalseadramon Trembles!
Metalseadramon searched the grounds where he had just landed. he looked over and saw the other hovercraft, which contained Matt earlier ago. He smirked and activated his scouter.
"You won't get away from me, Yamato. I know you like the back of my fins."
With that said, Metalseadramon flies out and begins his search for Matt. He could pick up the signal of Metal Garurumon's power through his scouter.
"Now I've got you, Metal Garurumon. You two can't hide from me. Yes, now I've gotten direct orders from Lord Burizalor! You ehar me, Yamato?! Now I can kill you and your pathetic digimon!"
However, the mega did not realize that Matt was able to pick up his energy signal through his own scouter. A smile forms across the boy's face as he awaits for Metalseadramon's arrival.
"Don't make me laugh, buckethead. Do you really think that you can kill us? We'll wait for you. Don't waste time."
Metalsedramon simply laughed after receiving transmission from the boy. He couldn't believe that such a boy was making idle threats towards a powerful mega such as him.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Are you blind?! Just look at your scouter! My combat power is above Metal Garurumon's!"
"We'll just see about that."
********************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the Digi-Destined were overcoming their shock over the two recent arrivals of the two hovercrafts. Mimi walked away with Palmon. She smiles and waves towards her friends as if she were cowering away.
"Well, then. We'll stay here and maybe sleep in. Good luck guys!"
"I guess we'll see yall later," Palmon replied.
"Mimi! Wait a minute!" Sora exclaimed. "Guys, what are we going to do?"
"Maybe we should head back too," Joe replied. "There's no use staying here. We'll just get in the way and end up getting killed."
"It looks like there's more than just one enemy," Gomamon replied. "I mean we'll be fine, but it's you kids that we have to worry for."
"But then my brother might get the digicores," TK said.
"Well then, we'll just meet up with him sometime and see if he'll let us use the digicores," Patamon stated.
"So, you just want us to ask Matt 'pretty please'?" Joe asked. "No way! We can't trust that guy!"
"Do you think it's right for us to stick around the ship?" Palmon asked her partner.
"Of course. I'm not in the mood to walk around an icky forest today. I could use a long, nice nap and a refreshing pop. Ahhh, the good ol' R & R."
"Huh?!"
"What's wrong Pata Pata," Gatomon asked.
"There's somebody coming!"
"Huh? Who? Who is it, Patamon?" asked TK.
"Ah! Is it Metal Garurumon?!" Biyomon pondered.
"No! This one is much weaker than Metal Garurumon!" Palmon exclaimed.
From a far distance, there were two faint figures walking around the same area where the Digi-Destined stood. The pair were a Kiwimon and a Mekanorimon.
"It should be around here," Kiwimon said. "But the reading just suddenly broke off..."
"Probably just a native," replied Mekanorimon.
The two soldiers walked furhter as they were able to spot the Digi-Destined group. The children crowded together while the digimon got into defensive positions.
"Those are certainly not natives!" Mimi cried out.
"We'll take these guys!" Gatomon replied.
The pair readied their weapons as they picked up several energy signals from the digimon crowd.
"Hey! They don't look like natives! Who are those humans?!" Kiwimon asked.
"Well, it doesn't matter," said Mekanorimon. "Our orders are to kill everyone on this planet."
"Whoa! Look at their clothes!" Tk pointed out to the obvious.
"They're the same as the invaders were wearing," Kari replied.
"Except these guys look like normal digimon. They don't seem too strong," Biyomon said.
"I don't know what's going on, but I have a real bad feeling," Joe said.
"You worry too much. Take it easy," Gomamon remarked. "We got this one."
"That's for sure. Those guys don't look like they're about to make any new friends!" Mimi exclaimed.
The two soldiers levitated towards the area where the digimon were standing their turf and protecting the vulnerable children.
"Make sure to supress your ki guys," ordered Gatomon. "And remember to concentrate."
"Right."
Kiwimon's scouter started going off as he picked up the official power readings from each of the digimon.
"Bah! Did you see that? They practically have no combat power. They must be the usual tourists."
"Heh, it won't be fun to play with these fellows. Let's wreck their ship first!"
With that said, Kiwimon pointed his beak blaster and points it towards the ship's glass chamber window. The digimon gasped as they were aware of what the soldier's intentions were. Kiwimon fired a blast and managed to crack a hole into the glass shield. It shattered, causing Mimi to panic. Palmon rushes back and pushes her partner away from the shattered glass fragments.
"No! Our spaceship!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Ha! Bad luck, tourists! You should have come last week!" Kiwimon cried out.
"These guys are nothing but pansies!" Gatomon exclaimed. "Release your ki!"
"bah! Did you hear that?" Mekanorimon asked.
"Yeah! They said that we were 'pansies'! Looks like they're begging to die already!"
Suddenly, the digimon released their supressed ki and shot out tremendous power. The scouters were starting to go off and this caused them to flip out. Kiwimon gasped in disbelief.
"What?! How did they do that?!"
"Wh-What the hell is this?" Mekanorimon muttered. "Th-Their power levels are too high!"
"But they're only rookies! How is this possible?!"
With that said, Gatomon and Patamon phased out as they ganged up on Kiwimon. The other digimon were able to corner Mekanorimon. The soldiers were caught in suspense by their tremendous speed.
"Boom Bubble!"
"Lighting Paw!"
The double attacks were enough to put down Kiwimon quicker than he could blink an eye. Now, Mekanorimon was about to feel the other's wraths.
"Poison Ivy!"
"Spiral Twister!"
"Super Shocker!"
"C'mon! Marching Fishes!"
The combined attacks easily brought Mekanorimon down as the digimon started celebrating their efforts.
"Yeah! Way to go, guys!" TK exclaimed.
"That's what I like to call the good ol' Smackdown!" Sora cried out.
"Wow! Thy've really gotten stronger, but how were they able to do it?" Mimi pondered. "Ugh. I need rest! I really need it, fast!"
**********************************************************************************
Meanwhile, on the other side of Spiral Mountain, the main group accompanying Burizalor had just picked up the rookie's attack power. Myotismon looked over at his scouter and noticed several power readings. Burizalor took notice of this and turned to face the vampiric digimon.
"What is the trouble, Myo-san?"
"Lord Burizalor, this concerns the search party we've sent to look for any intruders in the area. It seems that we're facing more than ordinary digimon. Their attack powers just increased sharply for a moment and they disappeared after defeating our troops."
"Hmmm. I see. That is quite odd. This does not sound like Yamato's digimon."
"No. This reading is quite different from Metal Garurumon's. Four of them had a power of 780. Two of them each had a power of 1500."
"Four had 780? Bah, no worries. But two had 1500? Both of which should be rookies? I would like to learn more about them, but we shouldn't worry too much. If you do find them again, eliminate them."
"Yes, sir."
**************************************************************************************
Izzy looked over at the damaged ship and sighed in disbelief. Now they're way off the planet was screwed up. It was their only way to get back to the lower realm.
"No. It's no use. We won't be able to use this ship. Even if we try, we'll just get sucked into the vaccum of space and perish."
"We weren't expecting such a surprise attack this quickly," Tentomon replied.
"Yeah, we're pretty much in danger here," Patamon said. "There just has to be stronger fighters here.."
"Man, that's just too scary to imagine," TK replied.
"The ki we can feel are not natives," Gatomon said. "They wouldn't be battle-oriented like we are. It has to be the solders that Matt works with."
"My brother associated with these creeps?" TK asked. "No way! I refuse to beleive it!"
"I'm sorry to say this but she's right," Sora said. "TK, we have to stay away from your brother. There's no telling if he'll kidnap you."
"No. I just know my brother is against these guys. I have mu faith in him. Trust me. I know him better than anyone else."
"Let's just hope that you're right, TK. For our sake," Sora thought.
**********************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Metalseadramon had found Metal Garurumon. The metallic sea dragon stared right over at Matt and gave him a very cold death glare. Matt simply smirked, which didn't quite suit well for Metalseadramon. Metal Garurumon stood very protective of his human partner.
"Heh. heh. So we meet at last, Yamato. The same goes for you, Gabumon."
"Nice reintroduction, but you could work on your monologue a little," Matt remarked.
"Cute. Well, it appears that it's time to finally settle the score."
"No doubt about it."
"Bah! You're digimon has been slacking off! With that power level, he has no chance!"
"Is that so?" Matt asked. "Feh. Why don't we show you our new discovery?"
"Yeah, it's something interesting we've learned from our last battle with War Greymon."
"Oh yeah? What? How to run off like a damn pussy?"
"No, ass. How to conceal my true power!" Metal Garurumon exclaimed.
"Plus, I don't think he likes that pussy comment," Matt replied. "I'd better run for cover by now."
"What? He can conceal his power level?"
"Just watch his combat power closely on your scouter."
"What?! Im-Impossible! But his power level is supposed to be the same as mine!"
"Fool! My partner has been fighting continuously in real battles! Not some cheap-ass training programs! My partner nearly killed in battle!" Matt replied. "How can you even keep up with him, while you snuggled and kissed Burizalor's ass?!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon proceeded to power up as an aura formed around his body. The wolf's power started to sky rocket like never before. Metalseadramon has never felt such a power such as this. He was sweating bullets while reading the official power reading.
"19,000?! 20,000?! 21,000?! 22,000?!"
Suddenly, Metalseadramon jumped back as his scouter exploded. He looked across in complete shock as if he were about to crap in himself.
**********************************************************************
Elsewhere, the scouters from Myotismon and the other soldiers were beginning to explode. Myotismon was taken back, which caught Burizalor's undivided attention.
"What's the matter, Myo-san?"
"It could have been a malfunction," the vampire replied. "But that power set of Metal Garurumon just went past 22,000."
"Say what?!" Machinedramon asked. "It has to be a malfunction, because I think your scouter is old. I'll get the correct number off of mine."
Machinedramon activated his senors and was beginning to pick up a reading from Metal Garurumon.
"What's the correct number?" Myotismon asked.
"Huh?! This can't be right! I've got the newest sensors on the market! It can't be 24,000!"
"24,000? That's higher than ours!"
"Impossible! But Metal Garurumon could barely reach up to 18,000!"
"Why are you two so surprised? Metal Garurumon is experienced through the frontlines. He must have learned something new while battling some group known as the Digi-Destined. Surely, 24,000 isn't beyond your magnificent powers. You might even beat him as a unit."
Ummm."
"You think so?"
"I suppose Yamato desires the same wish from the digicores as I do. I bet he wants that eternal youth and yearns for it. He would not have a chance against me otherwise. It seems that we've been at each other's throats. He went back to kidnap his brother without my permission. He seeks power for himself and plans on overthrowing me. But, I'll still commend him by pulling off this selfish act. He actually has the nerve to rebel against me. Heh."
**************************************************************************
Metalseadramon was slivering backwards as he was now sweating bullets like never before. He started begging off as Metal Garurumon slowly approached him.
"Wait, Yamato! I just thought of something! Let me join you! I can help you two out! I've secretly dispised Lo-I mean Burizalor- for a very long time!"
"Is that so?"
"Not bad, eh? With our powers combined, we could take out both Machinedramon and Myotismon like nothing!"
"Heh and here we thought that you were just a coward, rust bucket. But you're just a lying coward," Matt replied.
"Lying?! Me?! Trust me, Yamato. Hey! I see Lord Burizalor!"
"What?!"
"Sucker! River of Power!"
The metallic sea dragon unleashed a powerful wave of energy that blasted through where both Matt and Metal Garurumon stood. A massive explosion occurred as Metalseadramon continued his relentless assault. As soon as he finished, he saw nothing but a cloud of smoke alone with several craters. He chuckled at what he had accomplished.
"ha! Ha! I'm better a liar than a fool! I don't give a damn how strong Metal Garurumon is! You're nothing if you leave yourself wide open."
"Ha. You disappoint us, rust head. That was a pathetic attempt of strategy," a voice called out.
Metalsedramon turned and his eyes bulged at what he saw. He saw Metal Garurumon with a protective forcefield around Matt.
"But, I just…"
"If Metal Garurumon's power increases, doesn't his speed increase along with it? Plus, his rage increase everytime you throw out your stupid assaults."
"No!"
"It's over, Metalseadramon!"
With that said, Metalseadramon goes flying out in panic. But, he did not realize that Metal Garurumon was hot on his trail.
"Heh. That idiot doesn't realize that my skin is chrome digizoid armor! The strongest metal in the digital world!"
Metal Garurumon appears right in front of Metalseadramon with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that my claws are now equipped with chrome digizoid armor too. It's no longer your time to shine! Goodbye!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon rips open Metalseadramon's chest open with his claws and tosses him down towards the terrain. Metal Garurumon powers up and unleashes an ice blast towards the falling sea dragon. Within a matter of seconds, Metalseadramon's holed chest caught the mist of the ice blast and he was frozen from the inside. Soon, his entire body was covered by ice. Metal Garurumon rushes over at the frozen monster and slices him down into many shattered pieces. Matt looks on with a satisified smirk on his face.
"Yeah. I've always loved fireworks. Nicely done!'
"Bad timing. Now Burizalor's men will trace me through their scouters," the mega replied. "I'm sure we can approach both Myotismon and Machinedramon just fine."
"Yeah, but let's not get too reckless. Those two are very sneaky. We stand no chance against Burizalor. According to what I overheard through the scouter, the digicores have no effect until all four have been brought together."
"Alright then, Matt. We'll just find one of them once they've found the third one. Then we'll for an opening and take them."
"Ingenius, my friend. If that goes well, eternal youth and life is mine and defeating Burizalor will become a reality. Oh my dream will come true! Once he's gone, then I will stand supreme and look down upon Tai! I will be the greatest Digi-Destined ever!"
************************************************************************
Machinedramon was tunned at the reading received by his scouter. It was definitely beyond his expectations. He couldn't believe that Metal Garurumon would have such a high power level.
"Then his power level is-is really 24,000…He just swatted Metalseadramon like an insect…"
"Feh. No matter," Burizalor replied. "Let us look for the third digicore, shall we?"
"I have a reading of ten or so natives over in the left direction," a BlueMeramon replied.
"Excellent. Let's hope they have the digicore," the evil one said. "In the meantime, let none of us let down his guard. There appears to be some strange fellows out there."
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied.
"Let us be off!"
With that said, the entire crew flew up towards the skies as they headed out towards the their next destined location. From there, they would raid the next village and capture the third digicore.
************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined began to regroup after what had just happened to their ship. Some were arguing, while others were planning out for the expedition.
"Ok, Mimi?! We're about to leave! Can't you just go a little faster!"
"Hold on! I'm not used to running! Cut me some slack here!"
"We can't even fly cause we might give off our ki," Patamon replied.
"Look you guys! I found a cave!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Ugh, but for how long? I just hate caves," Mimi complained. "They might have icky bugs and rats."
Suddenly, the digimon looked up and felt some approaching chi.
"Hey, Gatomon? Do you feel that ki?" Biyomon asked.
"They feel different from the guys we ran into earlier," the feline replied. "I wonder…"
Gatomon's eyes widened as she turned to face the crew and started rushing towards the cave. The others followed pursuit.
"We got to hide! There's another strange ki and it feel very dark! I don't know what to make of it, but it's bad!"
As the Digi-Destined begin their expedition for the digicores, Burizalor and his men are out to collect the third one. However, Matt and Metal Garurumon plan on searching for the fourth one. Who will ultimately have all four digicores and decide the fate of the digital universe?

Taichi and Agumon's Triumphant Return!
The Digi-Destined began to regroup after what had just happened to their ship. Some were arguing, while others were planning out for the expedition.
"Ok, Mimi?! We're about to leave! Can't you just go a little faster!"
"Hold on! I'm not used to running! Cut me some slack here!"
"We can't even fly cause we might give off our ki," Patamon replied.
"Look you guys! I found a cave!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Ugh, but for how long? I just hate caves," Mimi complained. "They might have icky bugs and rats."
Suddenly, the digimon looked up and felt some approaching chi.
"Hey, Gatomon? Do you feel that ki?" Biyomon asked.
"They feel different from the guys we ran into earlier," the feline replied. "I wonder…"
Gatomon's eyes widened as she turned to face the crew and started rushing towards the cave. The others followed pursuit.
"We got to hide! There's another strange ki and it feel very dark! I don't know what to make of it, but it's bad!"
"You guys better hide then!" Biyomon shouted. "It must be allies of those two soldiers we've battled earlier!"
"Wow, so you little guys can actually pick up the energy signals from these creeps?" Mimi asked.
"Quiet! They're coming this way!" Palmon snapped.
"Do you think they spotted us?" pondered Kari.
"Damn! They're here!" Gatomon exclaimed.
The Digi-Destined looked up as they saw several digimon soaring through the skylines above. They seemed to be moving at a rapid pace. The group sighed a relief as the enemies disappeared into the distance.
"Whew, we can relax now," Tentomon said.
"I guess we weren't their primary targets," Izzy said. "That's a relief."
"But who were they?" Sora asked. "They went by so fast that I couldn't even see them.."
"I sensed that they had digicores in their possession," Gatomon said while her tail ring started to flicker. "Yeah, they're carrying two of 'em!"
"Two of them? I should have known," Biyomon said. "You guys? Did you see the weird creature flying second in the lead?"
"We saw him," Patamon replied. "Why ask?"
"What Biyomon is trying that say was that she sensed his power. I sensed his power too," Gatomon stated. "I was frozen as ice. That little squirt could be a lot more powerful than even Metal Garurumon. The other digimon were definitely strong, but this guy..."
"Stronger than Metal Garurumon? Who? Who could it be?" Joe asked.
"We don't know, but our stomachs really churned," Gomamon said. "But I'd say that they were all associated with Matt and whatever pirate group Neo Devimon mentioned about."
"So, how are we supposed to get the digicores from those monsters?" TK asked.
"Hey! I'm picking up their current position," Gatomon said.
"How are you able to trace them?" Kari asked.
"My tail ring has the ability to trace the digicores. I never knew I had this ability until X told me before our departure. But I can only use it at very short distances. If they're way out of range, I can't pick them up through my tail ring."
"Wow, that's incredible."
"It looks like they're going for the third digicore."
"But I wonder if they have their own tracer," pondered Izzy. "Ah, I've managed to pick them up through my computer. It's pretty faint, but I can calculate that their position is at 19 kilometers. It's at the left direction."
"That's where we felt the ki of the os-called natives," Palmon said.
"That's right!" Patamon replied. "Let's go over there and check it out!"
"I'll go too!" TK exclaimed.
"Count me in!" Kari replied.
"What about us?!" Joe asked.
"I think it's safe to say that we should go," TK said. "Patamon and Gatomon are the strongest of the group. They can digivolve and we'll keep at a very low distance."
"You ehar that, Gatomon?"
"I'm right on it."
"Remember to supress your energy, guys!" Sora said. "Unless you want them to spot you."
"We've got this under control!" TK countered. "Patamon, digivolve time!"
"Right!"
[Digimon "Evolution" theme plays]
The digivices of Kari and TK shoot out beams of light. The light showers over the two digimon as they prepared to digivolve into their higher evolution forms.]
"Patamon shinka!"
Within a matter of seconds, Patamon evolved from a small, winged mammal into that of a tall, angelic warrior with a staff in his hand.
"Angemon!"
"Gatomon shinka!"
Just as Patamon digivolved, Gatomon transformed from a small cat into that of a majestic, blonde-haired female angel.
"Angewomon!"
With that said, the angels carried their respective partners and flew off into the far distance. They had left behind the other Digi-Destined, which allowed them time to strategize and check on the status on the departed children through Izzy's computer.
***********************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the lower realm, Tai sat around in a hospital room while Agumon was beginning to stir in his head. The digimon lifted his head and opened his eyes. Tai woke up in time to see his partner awake.
"Agumon! You're finally awake!"
"Ahhh! What time is it? How long was I sleeping for?"
"Too long for me to calculate. I was beginning to think that you were going to turn into some kind of mummy. But I'm glad you're awake."
"So, I see that Agumon has finally recovered," a voice called in.
"Keke? So, you've been covering the medical treatment for my digimon?"
"Actually, it was X who did it. You can thank him," she replied. "I've come to tell you that once Agumon gets ready, you are to meet X back at the central planet."
"Don't tell me that we have to cross that damn road again."
"No, I can help teleport you there. I've developed teleportation among my newest techniques. Just, let me know when you guys are ready."
"We're just about ready. Looks like Agumon is already up and ready."
Agumon jumped off from the bed and started throwing kicks. Tai was taken back by how fast his partner was throwing out kicks. Agumon had never been such a flexible or even a durable digimon, but the training with X really helped him.
"Wow! I can certainly move faster even at rookie form! That training really payed off!"
"I'm glad," Tai said. "Man, you could use a big meal. You haven't eaten anything."
"Come to think of it, I'm very hungry. Let's go for a buffet!"
"So, I'm guessing you guys are ready to go? Follow me then. Oh by the way Agumon, X has plenty of food to come by."
"X has supplied food already?"
"Just follow me and he'll explain everything."
"Alright then."
With that said, Keke walked out with Tai and Agumon. The girl peekes through an empty operation room and calls in for the duo.
"You two place your hands on my shoulders. It's the only way for me to transport anyone to a different location. Just don't tug hard."
"Gotcha."
Tai and Agumon placed their hands on Keke, while the girl quickly teleports out from the hospital. They were then quickly transported onto a fertile planet, which looked much lively than the one Keke took Mimi to.
"Hey! We're back on the training grounds!" Agumon said. "The gravity doesn't feel as tough as the last time."
"That's because you've adapted to the environment through the training itself," a voice called out.
Tai turned to face X, who was standing by near a tall ship suitable for space flight itself. The goggleboy's eyes glittered as he looked upon the beauty of the ship.
"Whoa! Is that what I think it is?"
"It is, Tai. Since I knew you and Agumon were brutalized after the battle with Metal Garurumon, I figure that you two weren't ready to go to Spiral Mountain. Considering the fact that Agumon's injuries had prevented you two from departure to the planet. However, with Agumon at one hundred percent, I've managed to borrow a ship from one of the brilliant minds over where the powers that be reside."
"So you take orders from another individual?" Agumon asked.
"Yes, and I can't yet reveal you guys to him just yet. He has yet to see you fulfill more of your duties."
"Oh, so this ship will enable us to depart for Spiral Mountain? Please tell me that there's plenty of training simulators in here. It's for Agumon's sake."
"Yep. There's plenty of where that came from. The brilliants managed to rebuild the entire thing during Agumon's recovery. It would have taken many years back on earth. The invader's technology is quite advanced."
"Wow, is that an artifical gravity generator?!"
"That's right, Agumon," X replied. "You see this? This is a switch for artifical gravity and this is the controller it uses the spaceship's acceleration. Think like this. It can generate to up to a total maximium of 100G..Shouldn't that be a little too extreme for a rookie such as yourself? With 100G, and if you weigh 10 kg, then you come 1000 kilograms! That's a ton! You could possibly die."
"It's okay," Tai said. "Besides, if he couldn't handle that much, then he could ahve gotten creamed by Metal Garurumon."
"That's good to know. I've inputted all of the data for the flight itself. All you have to do is press the switch and you guys should get there in about six digital days. There's everything you guys need. A bath. A toliet."
The two snickered at the word which X had mentioned.
"Then there's a kitchen and a bedroom. Damn! I forgot an order of a stereo system put into this baby. Don't you guys need the music during your trip. You know like some good hip hop."
"Hmm. Hip hop sounds nice, but we're in a hurry. We've got friends on another planet for cripes sakes!"
"On second thought, Tai, you're right. Screw the stereo systems," X replied. "Besides, I didn't want my cds scratched up anyway. You have a habit of scratching my cds."
"Not my fault. I was bored during the training. I have a habit of rewinding through cd players."
"Well, I'm keeping my cds."
"You guys. I just got word that the ship which the other Digi-Destined used was destroyed!" Keke exclaimed. "Plus, Matt is there. I just hope he's there to aid our friends. Plus the evil one and his minions have arrived on Spiral Mountain as well."
"Damn it! I can't believe that he would have arrived on Spiral Mountain! Anybody but him!" X thought as he turned to face Tai. "Tai! This is it! We've got to move now!"
"Just teach me how to fly this thing now!"
"Just press the button and you're all set. Good luck, Tai. You and Agumon must get to Spiral Mountain and help out your friends."
"Make sure to say hi to Matt for me when you get there," Keke said. "He has to help you guys. He just has to."
"You leave everything to me," Tai replied. "We won't let you down."
With that said, Tai gives a thumbs up to X. The masked warrior returned the salute to the goggleboy. Tai turns and presses the button. As soon as he did that, the ship closed it's exit door and started to launch from the ground. Tai and Agumon held onto the nearest handlbars to prevent themselves from flying back. The ship launches out through the skylines and disappears into space within a matter of moments. X and Keke looked on as they prayed for the best.
"You are our only hope, Tai. Afterall, you have to survive this in order to ensure our eventual arrival into this world. May my spirits and prayers be with you."
"Please reform Matt and turn him back to the caring young man he used to be. You are the savior of the past, present and future of the digital world, Tai."
Deep within space itself, the ship was beginning it's six-day trip to Spiral Mountain. This allowed both Tai and Agumon more time to get fed and rest. However, Agumon had plenty of time to get started with his gravity training.
"Wow, this thing is sure fast, Tai."
"You said. They weren't kidding about the ship's speed. Boy, I never really thought outer space was dark. I'm among the first humans to travel through digital space!"
"TK and the others already beat us to that accomplishment."
"That's why I said 'among the first humans'. Well, we better stop yaking and get you started with training?"
"But I'm hungry! I haven't eaten anything!"
"Quit making excuses. I say you snarfing on all of those ding-dongs and honey buns during the ship's launch. It's time to train."
"But they were so good..."
"Let's be thankful that we'll eventually get there in six days. But that's hardly enough time to ready to fight the new enemies. Damn, we have to get there and see if my friends were able to make through. Plus, Matt is there. I hope that he's managed to change his ways and has decided to aid them."
"Just have faith in our friends and they'll come through in the end."
"The last time I departed from the group, they went their separate ways."
"They've matured since then. Especially TK and Kari."
"I'm very proud of those two. They've already become grown-ups faster than we could have hardly imagined."
"That comes to show you how independant that they've become. Now it's our turn to become confident in our ability to accomplish goals on our way."
"You're right. I see we start it off with the gravity training. Now let's see here."
Tai walks over towards the gravity generator and examines it closely. He reads the buttons and studies each of them thoroughly.
"Let's see here. I heard that X's planet was at about 10G. I say I get you started on 20G."
With that said, Tai presses the button and increases the gravity level up to 20G. Agumon felt a sudden rush and his body starting to become heavier than it was before. Agumon struggled to stay on his feet. Tai claps on with encouragement. It seemed the gravity in the ship only effected digimon and not humans. Agumon walked across and struggled within every fiber in his digital body.
"Urk! Oh...that's gravity!"
Agumon bends down and tries out several push-ups.
"You can do it, Agumon! If you can pull through this, then we have a better chance of surviving against those strong warriors!"
"One! Two! Three! Four!"
After doing several sets of push-ups, Agumon went on and tried out several sets of sit-ups. He struggled with each rise and fall during each rep.
"You'll just have to restart from the basics," Tai said. "If you don't, then you might not be able to handle the multiple strength of Mach Speed!"
*****************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back on Spiral Mountain, Angemon and Angewomon arrived at the scene where presumably where Burizalor and his soldiers were positioned.
"We're getting closer!" Angewomon said. "We have to suppress our ki completely."
"Right! Time to resort to some old-fashioned walking and crawling," Kari said.
With that said, the angel pair landed and started to slowly walk. TK and Kari were crawling behind their digimon.
"Over that cliff," Angemon said. "I'm picking up an unbelivable amount of ki."
They crawled up the cliffside and peered over to find a village being held up by the same group of villianous invaders as before.
"It's a digimon village!" TK said.
"But what are they doing?" pondered Angewomon.
The group looked down as they spotted Machinedramon, Burizalor and Myotismon. Angewomon easily got a bad vibe from Myotismon.
"Hey! Didn't we just destroy Myotismon?!" TK asked.
"No, that's a far different Myotismon. This one has a far greater ki than tha last one," Angemon replied.
"Still, I dispise that blood-sucking ass," Angewomon said. "He still haunts me in my nightmares."
"The others don't matter as much," Angemon stated. "But those three, especially the smaller guy inside the hovercraft...They have an incredible power force."
They quickly spotted the two digicores, being held by both Machinedramon and Myotismon. Machinedramon picked up an energy signal and turned around. The group ducked under the cliff and were able to hide from the monster's sight.
"Look at the two guys. They both have digicores," TK said. "I saw them clearly. If those are not digicores, then I'm just a naive kid making up stories!"
"Relax. Those are indeed the digicores. The enemy have two in possession," Angewomon replied.
"That's not a good thing," Kari said. "They're close to obtaining them all."
Machinedramon turned away from the slight distraction and turned his attention over to the village, despite what his sensors were indicating. Burizalor took notice of his loyal soldier's paranoia and questioned him.
"What is the matter, Machinedramon?"
"I detected a very small power reading over in that direction. It's gone now. It must have been a small digimon."
Suddenly, the soldiers had just walked out with the last remaining villagers. The village was the home of an Elecmon, Floramon, Chuumon, Sukamon and Deramon.
"Lord Burizalor! We've found only five of them! The rest had just fled!"
This brought a smile across Burizalor's face as his men started to round up the surviving villagers. TK and Kari peeked over to see what was taking place. As soon as they laid their eyes upon the digimon, they gasped beyond belief.
"What are they planning to do to those digimon?!" Kari asked.
"Kari. I don't think I want to find out."
Burizalor has begun rounding up the villagers on his conquest for the digicores. Will the evil one gain all four digicores and ultimately become the digital universe's greatest threat? Will Tai and Agumon arrive in time to save their friends?

TK: Oh no! What kind of sick monsters are these jerks?!
Kari: How could Burizalor send men to kill poor innocent lives?! This makes me so angry!
Burizalor: If I don't get more information on the digicores, then you will suffer the consequences.

Vegeta: What did you say, you little brat?!
Coral: Geez, how can Bulma put up with you?
Vegeta: Just because SSJ4T created you to be my step sister, doesn't give you the right to attempt to destroy my pride!
Coral: You may have pride, but I got heart.
Max: So, are we going to see you in any fics in the future?
Coral: Maybe. SSJ4T has been considering writing some DBZ stories, which involve me of course. It depends on far he goes into the Fusion series.
Vegeta: That'll be the day.
Coral: Ooo! I'm so sick of your damn attitude, vegetable head.
Vegeta: What was that?!
Coral: Vegetable head! Na! Na!
Tai: So, this is how they show their brotherly and sisterly love towards one another?

SSJ4T: Hey and welcome back! Looks like we're actually going into a much faster pace. I really hope to get through with the entire Burizalor Saga just before school starts in September.
Max: I kinda of hope so, cause I'm not going to wait through a whole week for a chapter.
SSJ4T: Dude, I can't believe Digimon just ended it's series finale this morning. Who would of thought that you guys would have created a four-season phenomena.
Tai: Hey, you can thank me and the Digi-Destined. We set the ground for many others to follow.
Takato: Like myself and the Tamers.
Takuya: Plus, me and my friends.
SSJ4T: Well, Digimon the series might be over, but the fics are far from dead. Digimon Fusion is still alive and kicking!

Tai: Not likely.
Max: Not when I'm on their side. Let's go, asshole!
Coral: So, this is the Digital Warlord? He's not even scary. He looks just like a kid.
SSJ4T: Not just any kid. He's the embodiment of evil itself! There is no good conscience in him.
Coral: I guess I'll have to introduce more of myself after this episode gets done.
SSJ4T: Right, let's get that fic started! While these guys kick Warlord's ass, you go and read the fic! This might get pretty messy by the time we're done.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Burizalor's Considerate Kindness or a Murderous Rampage?!
The soldiers had just walked out with the last remaining villagers. The village was the home of an Elecmon, Floramon, Chuumon, Sukamon and Deramon.
"Lord Burizalor! We've found only five of them! The rest had just fled!"
This brought a smile across Burizalor's face as his men started to round up the surviving villagers. TK and Kari peeked over to see what was taking place. As soon as they laid their eyes upon the digimon, they gasped beyond belief.
"What are they planning to do to those digimon?!" Kari asked.
"Kari. I don't think I want to find out."
The soldiers pointed their arm cannons over at the smaller digimon and pushed them along. The older digimon villagers held their anger back before they were forced to relentless attack their enemies and suffer the consequences.
"What are they going to do with those poor digimon? Do they really have a digicore to give to those creeps?" Kari pondered.
"So, are they all invaders?" asked TK.
"They look more like digital pirates, but they are invaders," replied Angemon.
"Yeah! I remember what Neo Devimon said about that they exterminate the natives of hospitalable planets and sell them to other digital invaders," Kari replied. "I wonder if Matt is looking for one of the other two digicores. It's better than having Burizalor taking all four of them."
"I agree," said TK.
The digimon villagers faced off against the pirates. Dust settled in between the two parties, before Deramon peered over to the spheric objects which Machinedramon and Myotismon held in their possessions. Deramon growled under his breath.
"Hello, dear villagers. I am known to the digital universe as Burizalor. You see, I am collecting the digicores. I experimented with the digital world's physics and I managed to capture the four digicores before. However, it resulted to a chunk of the digital world being launched into space and in turn created Spiral Mountain. I'm guessing the after effects of sealing the four holy beasts and stealing the digicores resulted in this. Now, I'm back at square one. Where are the other digicores? We had noted that there should be more than this amount of villagers."
The villagers stood their ground as they kept to themselves and didn't allow themselves to let the overlord intimidate them.
"Are you planning on giving me the silent treatment? That really pisses me off. I'm afraid we will have to kill you."
Deramon was taken back by this and started to speak in foreign digital language, which was much similar to the language which Keke used to activate the ship before. However, Burizalor was going to be taken by this.
"No. You aren't speaking my language. I want you to speak to me through normal tongue. I know you can speak our language."
"...You don't have to be so pushy. Alright, the others went out to work in the fields. The only ones here in this village are the elderly and the children."
"See? That wasn't so bad to speak the truth. As long as you don't cause us any trouble, you will be perfectly fine. Now, on with other questions."
"Proceed."
"Where is the third digicore? I know that there is one here. I'm very positive that there is one here."
"What? I don't know wh-what you're talking about? I don't know of such a thing.."
"Hmmm. Machinedramon, do you remember what the other villagers told us?"
"Yeah. They are known to only hand the digicores to great, legendary heroes."
"Oh, yes. I remember know. They were quite stubborn and refused to cooperate with us. So we slaughtered them as a lesson."
The entire village was taken back by this and were beginning to display fear across their faces. Deramon held the young digimon back and was sweating bullets. He couldn't believe that he was confronted by a group of murderous pirates.
"Of course, they did tell us many other things. I hear that Gennai was among those who helped create the digicores. Yes, that old coot is still alive, eh? I guess he felt that he had to go into desperate measures and helped create Spiral Mountain as a means to protect the digicores. Unforunately, I've arrived and I'm not going to rest until I have all four digicores. You seem to understand this. I tried to persuade with the other elder digimon, and they wouldn't cooperate. They would never hand me their digicore. So I killed him, which made it quite troublesome."
"How...How could you do such a horrible act?"
**********************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Metal Garurumon and Matt stood by to search the area and to prevent themselves from being picked up by Burizalor's scouter. Just rhen, Matt's scouter started going off and he was listening to a transmission from none other than the monster himself.
"We've obtained the two digicores easily! They were nice enough to hand them over in the end."
"Hmmm. I see. So that's how it is," Matt replied.
********************************************************************************
"You killed them, either way you put it!" Deramon exclaimed.
""The other elder digimon would enver hand them over to you!" Floramon snapped.
"No, really. They obliged quickly when we did this. Myo-san, please demonstrate for these fools."
"Yes, sir!"
With that said, Myotismon quickly phases out. The two elder digimon were unable to watch the vampire's movements. Myotismon appears above Floramon and delivers a roundhouse kick to the digimon's side neck. Floramon's neck snapped in an instant and was sent tumbling backwards. The villagers gasped in blood murder. They had just lost another elder at the hands of the pirates.
"You monster!" Sukamon exclaimed angrily.
"Sukamon! No!" Deramon calls out.
Sukamon jumps out into the open and throws down a pink sludge, which Myotismon easily avoided. Sukamon opened his mouth and unleashed a mouth blast, which managed to incenrate a soldier. Sukamon looks up as Myotismon opens a palm. The vampire shoots down a crimson blast, which looked similar to a lighting bolt. The bolt struck Sukamon head on as he was electrocuted and was left a roasting corpse. Myotismon jumps down as he walks over towards Burizalor.
"I can't believe them!" TK exclaimed.
"They're murderers with no conscience!" muttered Kari.
"So, what do you think? Do you feel like to oblige now?" Burizalor asked.
"But, why do you seek for the digicores? What do you want from them?"
"Oh, a simple request. I want to obtain it's power to gain immortality."
"What?!" Angemon said. "That was what Matt was seeking for!"
"He wanted eternal life, too!" TK said. "Burizalor is after the same thing. That's further proof that my brother is no longer associated with these creeps."
"You think so?" Kari asked.
"No, I can not give away the digicore. I will never hand it over to a creature like you, even if it means my own life.."
"Heh. Heh. So you have choosen death...rather than make me happy? The natives on Spiral Mountain are very stubborn. But would you remain stubborn when faced with the deaths of those small fry children?"
Deramon and the villagers were taken back by the evil one's cruel words. However, Kari and TK couldn't handle such horror. They've never felt so much rage sweeling up. The angels wanted nothing more than to get themselves at Burizalor, no matter what the cost maybe.
"No! Surely not even you! You will never attempt to murder the little ones!"
Suddenly, Machinedramon was picking up several energy signals from another direction. He looks back and sees a trio of digimon warriors to save the villagers. The trio consisted of Knightmon, Musayamon and Boltmon. The pirates turned to face their new adversaries.
"I sense combat power from that trio!" Machinedramon stated.
"Look at this, Lord Burizalor," Myotismon replied.
The villagers were now relieved and were now beginning to have high hopes for the trio of warriors. Even TK and Kari were glad to see a group taking a stand against Burizalor's group.
"Yes! You've come!" Deramon cried out. "My prayers have been answered!"
The warrior trio levitated as they faced off against Burizalor's dark army. The angels were quite impressed with the each of the digimon's power. They were quite strong and each possessed incredible power to defend the innocent villagers. They are Spiral Mountain's great protectors. Their anger swelled as they viewed the the corpses of Floramon and Sukamon. They quickly were deleted from the scene, which did not set well for Chuumon. The pink rodent had lost his comrade.
"It is as we feared," Musayamon said.
"This is so annoying," Burizalor remarked. "Just when we had persuaded them to fetch the digicore for us. You three just had to pull off that heroic crap and waste our time killing you."
"So, it is true," Knightmon stated. "The rumors of digicore thieves invading villages is true."
"They will regret disrupting the peace of Spiral Mountain!" Boltmon cried out.
"Please, becareful! Their power is unimaginable!" Deramon said. "We pray for your grand victory!"
"Oh! You plan to battle us then," Burizalor stated. "What sort of combat power do they have Machine-san?"
"I'll check, sir."
Machinedramon checked through his sensors and picked up the official reading of the trio. He sighed and turned to face Burizalor with a smirk.
"Heh. Heh. You're going to be quite disappointed, my lord. All three rate at approximately 1000. Not even worth our trouble."
"So that's how they've been able to find the few villages scattered over Spiral Mountain then!" Deramon thought. "That small device reads the energy of digimon alike!"
The soldiers were laughing amongst themselves over the fact that the three warriors only possessed a level power of 1000 each.
"You're really to face off with those pathetic power levels?!" BlueMeramon laughed. "Ha! Ha! 1000 each?!"
"They're idiots," Angewomon said. "Can't they figure out that those warriors are suppressing their ki?"
"you know the invaders were quite surprised by that too," stated TK.
"Let's kill them!" the soldiers cried out.
"Attack!" the warriors shouted.
Musayamon rushed over at BlueMeramon and slashes right through him. The evil soldier cried out and was quickly deleted as a result. Machinedramon looked on with surprise. A Tuskmon came running at Knightmon, but the knight held out his sword and slashes off the monster's head. Tuskmon's decapitated body fell to the ground and was deleted. It's head landed and was instantly vaporized. Boltmon pulls out his axe and slices Snimon in half. Myotismon watched as a portion of Snimon's came hurtling towards him. Myotismon catches the body piece and tosses it over towards a cliff.
"What the heck is this? That's no 1000 power! What is wrong with your scouter, Machinedramon?"
"I...I don't understand. My sensors are now reading 3000 for each warrior!"
One by one, most of Burizalor's soldiers were being easily taken down by the trio. TK and Kari looked on with astonishment. Now these warriors may help even the odds.
"Alright! They got 'em!" TK said. "They got 'em!"
"Well, this certainly looks like a fight," Myotismon said.
"Those warriors must be able to control their combat power at will!" Machinedramon replied. "Certain digimon races have been able to perform such an advanced technique."
"Hmmm. Only three of their devices have been left unbroken," Deramon said in thought.
"Deramon! What should we do?" Elecmon asked.
"Children, just stand back from me!" Deramon replied.
"Heh, I suppose a little exercise won't hurt," Machinedramon stated while placing his digicore on the ground. "May I destroy them, sir?"
"As you wish."
Suddenly, Deramon opened his eyes open and shoots out a blast from his hand. Machinedramon turns and is caught by surprise as a blast knocked his scouter off. As the scouter hit the ground, it was vaporized. One by one, each of the scouters were destroyed by the force of the blast.
"Damn it! He was after the scouters the whole time!" Myotismon exclaimed.
"Now! They will die!" Machinedramon roared.
"The scouters have been destroyed," Angemon said. "That villager managed to use the force of his blast to knock those things out of commission."
"I get it now," Kari said. "It wasn't that they knew about the location of the digicores. They used those things to find the villagers and it enabled them to take those two digicores! That old timer managed to figure it out and took that problem out of the equation."
"That's a pretty ingenius move," replied TK.
"I'll exterminate them all!" Machinedramon roared. "I'll wipe out every single one of them!"
With that said, Machinedramon came charging towards Deramon with murderous rage. Just as he was about to strike, Burizalor calls out to the cybernetic monster.
"Machine-san! Wait! I want you to kill the three young ones first!"
Deramon flies back as Machinedramon turns to face the three warriors. The machine charges forward and has his eyes locked onto his three targets. He snickered and raised his claws up. His cannons were beginning to fire up as a result of the sheer excitement.
"Heh. Heh. Just give me ten seconds with these insects," Machinedramon said.
"What?! You alone against the three of us?!" Boltmon asked. "You're no match for the three of us!"
"Heh? A match, huh? We'll see about that."
Just as Boltmon was about to make his move, Machinedramon instantly phases behind Boltmon and punches a claw right through Boltmon's ribcage. The digimon cries out with blood murder as his ribcage was ripped out by Machinedramon's claws. hmachine kicks away Boltmon and fires away his cannons.
"Giga Cannon!"
With that said, the cannon blasts nailed Boltmon head-on and instantly vaporized him into data. He turns around and fires another set of his Giga Cannon at Musayamon and easily disposed of him. The villagers looked on with terror as they witnessed the death of their own warriors. TK and Kari were horrified by the bloodbath shed by Machinedramon.
Knightmon went head-to-head with Machinedramon and readied his sword. Machinedramon easily saw him coming and delivers an claw thrust to Knightmon's chest. Knightmon was sent flying back , but he jumps back and sends out a ki blast. Machinedramon takes the ki blast head-on. A huge explosion is the result of the ki blast. The smoke cleared and all that was left was a large crater. Knightmon stood while catching his breathe. He gapsed as he saw Machinedramon crawling out without a single scratch.
"No! That won't work! That kind of attack won't beat that monster!" nexclaimed.
"What the heck are these guys made of?! They're nearly impossible!" Kari said.
Machinedramon charges at Knightmon and delivers a devastating headbutt, which sent the Knightmon crashing right through a cliff wall. Machinedramon jumps back and leaves the bloody corpse of Knightmon. Deramon could only look on with horror.
"As you can see that it is quite useless to resist or flee, elder," Burizalor stated. "So, why don't you give up?"
Deramon sighed and simply nodded his head. He had now given up resisting and obliged to the evil one's orders.
"Yes. Yes, much better. That's the way I like it," the evil one replied. "You destroyed our scouters. We had to pay with alot of digi-dinners to get them. I suggest you give us your digicore as an apology. You've just seen how we do things. If you continue resisting, those children and babies will die next."
"First, promise me that you won't do anything to the children."
"All right, you should have said so in the beginning and we wouldn't have gone through that crap."
"Those heartless monsters!" TK muttered.
"I can't believe how there are digimon this cruel," Kari said. "They don't deserve to call themselves living creatures."
"I agree. They won't get away with these sins," Angemon replied.
"Angemon! Don't get any crazy ideas! These are not guys we should be going up against," Angewomon muttered.
Deramon comes walking inside his hut and walks out with a precious digicore. It's maginifcant glow brought a smile to the evil one's face. He hands it over to a Kiwimon and turns to face Burizalor.
"Ah, thank you, kind sir. While you're at it, could you also tell me where I might find the last digicore?"
"Never! I will enver betray my fellow villagers-not even if you kill us all! Now as you promised..."
"Oh yeah, the promise. Well, since you and everyone on Spiral Mountain is so terribly stubborn, you and the children will have to die afterall. Pity me."
"What?! No!"
With that said, Machinedramon rushes over at Deramon and delivers an claw slash across the elder. TK and Kari looked on with horror. The angels were attempting to restrain themselves from getting themselves involved in a battle that they couldn't win.
Burizalor has three of the digicores, but seeks the last one. His men have begun a murderous rampage and there were many casualities as a result. Will TK and Kari send their digimon to save the surviving villagers?

Coral: Great story! You're actually doing a good job combining the elements of Digimon and Dragonball Z perfectly. So, how's the Warlord doing?
SSJ4T: He's had enough.
[The Warlord has been put out of comission, as the four heroes wiped their hands clean.]
Max: Warlord, when are you going to learn? Everytime you face me, you end up getting your ass kicked.
Tai: Plus, it was by the four of us.
Takato: With that out of the way, tell us about yourself Coral.
Takuya: You would have said so in the first place, but we had busines to take care of.
Coral: Well, I'm among the last surviving female saiyan warriors. I didn't actually see my home planet blow up, but I was taken to another planet where I met with Vegeta. I guess what's how he became my step brother. We're not related, but we sure do love to argue. I'm single, but I've got my eyes on someone. He's a hunk from the future and he's got a sword.
Max: Me?!
Coral: No, silly! I mean Trunks! You already have a woman. She's probably waiting for you by now.
Max: ugh, she's right! I've got a date with her! Damn! See ya!
Coral: Well since he's gone, I guess we could chill here and catch up with some hip hop.
SSJ4T: Do, whatever you want. Our next guests will be Jason and Freddy?!
Coral: As in Jason with the hockey mask and the guy with the claws?! They have a movie coming out this summer.
SSJ4T: You better lock the doors and hide the children. We've got two horror slashers available next time! Until then, peace out!
Coral: Hold on a minute. From now on, I get to say peace out. Got it?
SSJ4T: Yes, ma'm.
Coral: Please, I'm only sixteen. Peace out, homies!
Warlord: Uhh...Did somebody catch the number on that bus? Ahh, crap...my fucking body hurts...Max...you're so dead...Oh think sick thoughts...think sick thoughts...

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Takeru Snaps! Machinedramon vs Metal Garurumon!
Deramon comes walking inside his hut and walks out with a precious digicore. It's maginifcant glow brought a smile to the evil one's face. He hands it over to a Kiwimon and turns to face Burizalor.
"Ah, thank you, kind sir. While you're at it, could you also tell me where I might find the last digicore?"
"Never! I will enver betray my fellow villagers-not even if you kill us all! Now as you promised..."
"Oh yeah, the promise. Well, since you and everyone on Spiral Mountain is so terribly stubborn, you and the children will have to die afterall. Pity me."
"What?! No!"
With that said, Machinedramon rushes over at Deramon and delivers an claw slash across the elder. TK and Kari looked on with horror. The angels were attempting to restrain themselves from getting themselves involved in a battle that they couldn't win.
Deramon slowly risen to his feet with an angry look. He looked like as he if were about to kick somebody's ass. The young digimon stood by and were shocked over the entire slaughter they had just witnessed.
"You...gave your..word! I gave you the digicore! Now leave us in peace!"
"Yes, but the digicores are worthless until I have all four of them. You destroyed the scouters we used to find them. So you must tell us where the others are."
"Like I said, I would never betray a fellow elder of Spiral Mountain, even if it means my death!"
"Oh, it will. I guarantee that it will," Burizalor replied.
"Lord Burizalor, will we be able to find the last digicore without our scouters?"
"There is only one left. We'll find them eventually if we search for other villages. Oh, one more thing. These three insects. You may kill all three of them."
"Yes, sir!" Machinedramon muttered. "It would be my pleasure."
TK and Kari were horrified at what the evil one had just said. Angemon clenched his fists. while Angewomon was prepared to go out and stop Burizalor. However, Angemon was able to hold the female back.
"Th-They can't do this!" Angewomon exclaimed. "We can't allow them to murder those digimon!"
"Run, children! Run away!"
"Yes! We understand!" Elecmon cried out. "Let's go Chuumon!"
As soon as the children fled, Deramon stood in front with his wings spread out in defensive manner.
"I will show the honor of the villagers!"
However, Burizalor merely pointed a finger at Deramon and shoots out a beam. The beam goes past Deramon's shoulder and merely missed him by a margin. The beam went straight and nailed Elecmon. An explosion occurs over where Elecmon once stood and nothing was left but charred remains. The data from Elecmon faded away. Chuumon jumped back with a horrified expression.
"No! I can't believe what I just saw!" TK said.
"Those..evil...heartless monsters!" Kari muttered. "They don't deserve to live!"
Deramon turned as he saw what was left of Elecmon. However, he did not realize that Machinedramon was coming straight for him. He turned and was snatched by the throat. Machinedramon hoisted Deramon with one arm and placed him into a headlock. With one twist, the machine digimon snapped Deramon's neck and threw his corpse to the ground.
"Yes and you died. That's some honor, old timer," Machinedramon chuckled.
"TK! Angemon! Get a hold of yourselves!" Angewomon said. "There's nothing you two can do! Stop!"
"No we can't..." TK muttered. "They won't get away with this.."
Machinedramon turned to face Chuumon with a sadistic look. The tear-swelled eyes of the rookie met with the souless holes from Machinedramon's 'face'. Chuumon turned around and began to run. However, Machinedramon came flying towards the fleeing rookie and landed in front of him.
"Exterminating little squirts like you is only a waste of my time. But, I have a job to do. Prepare to die."
As soon as Machinedramon lifted his clawed arm, TK cried out over the hill and was able to catch the mega's attention. Everyone, including Burizalor, turned to see the boy. Angemon snatched up TK and flies out towards the village area.
"What was that?! Another one?! But where?!"
Just then, Angemon appears above Machinedramon and nails the mega with his staf.. The force sent Machinedramon crashing through the ground. Angewomon grabs Kari and flies down to save their comrades. Machinedramon rose up and faced the angelic warrior.
"W-Who are you?!"
"You are not going to get away with this!" Angemon exclaimed.
"What he said! We're going to stop you!" the boy replied.
"Is that so? Why don't you prove it!"
As soon as Machinedramon went for the attack, he was met with another attack. He gets nailed by a spinning kick from Angewomon and is sent tumbling back.
"Angemon! TK! We have to get away from here now!" Kari cried out as she picked up Chuumon.
"Right! Let's get moving, Angemon!"
"Right!"
The angels flew off into the distance while taking along Chuumon and the children. Burizalor was quite astonished by their surprise appearance and didn't really think that there would be the presence of humans, especially earthlings.
"Those aren't digimon. I wonder how those humans arrived here. This is too far for a human to ever reach."
Machinedramon slowly made up to his feet and was shaking the cobwebs out from his head. Burizalor called out towards the mega.
"Damn those humans..."
"Machine-san! Don't just hobble around there! Go after them and bring them back!"
With that said, Machinedramon roared with demonic rage as he flies out after the angels with tremendous speed. TK and Kari turned around as they saw a speckle of light from a far distance. An angry Machinedramon was hot on their trail.
"We have to fly faster, Angemon!" Angewomon exclaimed. "It will be all over if we get caught!"
"Right!"
"I can't believe we actually pulled that off," TK said.
"I still can't believe that we managed to get out of there in short peace. We're lucky to even be alive," replied Kari.
The angels turned back and were worried as Machinedrmaon was beginning to draw nearer towards them. It would only be a matter of time before he would catch up to them.
"It's no use!" TK exclaimed. "He's too fast! He's going to catch us!"
"Fine! Looks like we'll just have to turn back and fight!" Angemon stated.
"We can't fight anybody like this!" replied Angewomon. "We have to move!"
Machinedramon laughed with a malicious wickedness as he continued to chase the angels like a predator.
"Damn! It looks like I'll have to fight him myself," Angewomon said. "Angemon. I'm handing Kari to you. You get out of here."
"Angewomon! He's much too strong for you!"
"I think I can take him. You guys just go!"
"Becareful, Angewomon!"
With that said, Angemon took Kari and flies off farther into the distance. Angewomon turned to face her foe and prepared to throw her own life away against the ever powerful mega.
"I just hope those guys are very far, because this might get a little too flashy."
"Now! You die, wench!"
"Try this on for size! Photo Mare!"
Angewomon points his fingers to her forehead and launches a very powerful ultraviolent light that expands throughout the entire area that they were positioned in. MAchinedramon was immediately caught offguard by the ultraviolent flare and blinded.
"No! My sensors! I've been rendered blind by ultraviolent light!"
"I did it! I didn't really think that would work."
Angewomon flies out towards where Angemon was fleeing. The children turned as they Angewomon caught up to them.
"Wow! You're alive!" Kari exclaimed. "What did you do back there?"
"No time to explain. He's going to be looking for us. I say we hide behind that cliff. Follow me, Angemon!"
"Just lead the way."
In a matter of time, the angels made it over towards the nearest cliffside and hid behind. TK and Kari jumped as with Chuumon.
"So, what did you do, Angewomon?"
"Let's just say that I flashed him a bit."
Machinedramon slowly began to regain the power from his sensors, not to mention his vision. He looked around and found no signg sof Angewomon. He couldn't even pick her energy signal from his sensors.
"Where did they go?! Curse those welps!"
Machinedramon started searching the entire area, but he was unable to find his primary targets. He quickly was becoming frustrated.
"Cowards! Where are you?! Come out!"
Kari and TK went over to comfort the frightened Chuumon, but the little digimon was too shocked to even mutter a snigle word. He had just lost his own friends at the hands of the pirates.
"It's okay," Kari said. "He'll never find us. Thanks to that old timer, he can't use a scouter and pick up our energy signals."
"Don't sweat it," TK replied. "As long as he leaves, we'll be out of here and back with our friends in no time."
"He would found even Chuumon's ki if he still had his energy signal. Thank goddramon for that old timer," Angewomon said.
"There's no way I'll find anyone that...that damn small!" Machinedramon roared. "My inferred sensors have been shattered because of that flash. They'll pay for this!"
With that said, Machinedramon goes flying up into the skylines above and stopped to prepare for his next attack. He readied his cannons, which caught the angels' attentions.
"What's he doing now?!" Angewomon asked.
"Even I don't want to know."
"Wherever you insects are...you shall die now!"
Everyone gasped in horror as Machinedramon shoots out blasts from his cannons and sends them towards a small isle. Within a matter of seconds, the blast nailed the isle and destroyed it within a massive explosion. There was nothing left but a pile of rock and sand. The water was smoking from the massive explosion. Machinedramon chuckled over the work he had completed.
"Ha! ha! So, how do you like that?! Now, show me your cheap tricks! Lord Burizalor had ordered me to bring them back, but I think sending them to their watery graves is a much better idea. It's a shame we never had a chance to figure out who they were. They sure weren't average digimon. Not to mention those children. Who are they?"
Just then, Machinedramon was unaware of the angels leviating from behind. TK, Kari and Chuumon were grasped tightly in Angemon's arms. They were able to hide their ki and allow themselves to become invisible from Machinedramon's sensors.
"Well, it certainly doesn't matter now. I should be heading back to Lord Burizalor."
The mega flies off into the distance, while leaving the angels behind. The children sighed in relief and Chuumon was slowly overcoming his shocked state.
"Man, that was so ever close," Kari remarked.
"I still can't believe that we're still alive," said TK.
"We were very lucky," Angemon stated. "We would have been done in from that blast."
"We better head back to where the others are at," Angewomon said. "Your name is Chuumon, right?"
"Yes. How did you know my name?"
"I travel far around back in the lower realm. I know a dozen of digimons of your kind."
"Oh, well. Thanks for saving me back there."
"You should be thanking TK and Angemon here," said Kari. "They're the ones who risked their lives to save you."
"But without you, Angewomon, we would have died," TK stated.
"Understood. Let's get out of here! Now, where did we depart?"
"I remember now. I came from that direction. That would be from the east side over that hill ridge," Kari replied.
With that said, the angels flew out towards the east side. They had hoped to find the other Digi-Destined and fill them in on what was going on with the enemy.
**************************************************************************************
Machinedramon had traveled out from the area where he had supposeably destroyed the angel pair. He looked around and had hoped to find Burizalor.
"Damn! I can't believe we still have to find the last digicore. It's going to be like finding a needle in a haystack! A universal pain...Well, at least Spiral Mountain isn't too large to search..."
Suddenly, Machinedramon felt a tremendous force impact him from behind and plummeting him down into the water below. Machinedramon managed to jump right out of the water as he dumped the water from his body. He turned to see Metal Garurumon with Matt at his side. The mega growled angrily and faced off against the digi-destined of courage.
"Ugh! Yamato! Metal Garurumon! Damn, you! Yamato, you bastard!"
"Aww, is that way of saying that you've missed me, Machinedramon?" the boy taunted.
"That was your digimon that ambushed me from behind, wasn't it?!"
"It's been a long time. I thought you'd never stop kissing Burizalor's ass," Matt stated. "I guess there's no sense saying this to you. Afterall, you're head has been shoved up Burizalor's ass for so long that you've forgotten how to continue training."
"That's a lot of smack coming from the mouth of a pathetic human such as yourself," Machinedramon replied. "Now hand over that scouter and get away. I'll let this one go for once."
"So, it's true. You guys did lose your scouting devices. I thought that might be what had happened," the boy said. "What a perfect time for me to interfer, eh?"
"Now listen to me!"
"It'll take you quite a few days for you to get back to Planet Buriza and fetch new ones. I see why you want this.."
With that said, Matt removed his scouter and drops it on the ground. Machinedramon chuckled as he started walking over to snatch the scouter.
"So, you've finally realized what you're up against, eh? Well, I guess I might spare your life..."
However, Matt grew a smile on his face and stomped the scouter into pieces. Machinedramon looked on with shock over what Matt had just done. The mega vented with murderous rage.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"I didn't need that scouter anymore."
"So, you're after those digicores too?! Without that scouter, you won't be able to locate Lord Burizalor or the villagers!"
"O'd have to agree with you at one point. But back from the lower realm, I found out that my friend's digimon evolved the ability to detect the location and power of a digimon's ki without the aid of a scouter," Matt explained. "Plus, one of the digimon has the ability to evolve to mega. If he could do it, then Metal Garurumon can as well."
"...What? This is a rather new technique."
"It was pretty easy once Metal Garurumon got the nack of it. It's impossible if you're only concerned with brute strength, like yourself or even Burizalor...or myself during my rookie days."
"So, those angel digimon were from the lower realm? Along with those two children?"
"So, I say that you met my little brother, TK. That was the one which I said that I was going to bring over to the force. But, they prevented me. I'd better hope that you didn't lay a finger on him," Matt said as he clenched his fists.
"So, you do care for your little brother, don't you!"
"His name is Takeru Takashi. I better hope I see him for your sake. Otherwise, just be glad that I didn't send Metal Garurumon to kill you where you stand."
"Just get the hell out of the way!"
"Why are you so afraid of me? Why don't you just come out me?"
"Or, have you realized that during my fight with Metalseadramon that I've become a great deal stronger than I have before," Metal Garurumon spoke up. "You saw my power reading through your scouter didn't you?"
"That number was a damned mistake! The scouter was broken! I gave you a chance to leave! You blew it! Giga Cannon!"
With that said, Machinedramon fires away his double cannons and blasted at the area where both individuals once stood. Machinedramon kept firing away relentlessly until chunks of land started wearing down. Suddenly, Metal Garurumon with Matt phased behind the distracted mega.
"So, the scouter was broken?" Matt said. "That power reading was just a mistake?!"
Machinedramon turned around and went to slash Matt's head off with his clawed fist, but Metal Garurumon pushed Matt away and catches the mega's fist. Machinedramon goes for a tail whip. Metal Garurumon hops over behind the mega and grabs both of his arms. After that, he pulls back both arms and watches as Machinedramon cries out in agonizing pain.
"You forget that the more my digimon battles, the more stronger he gets and the more his power grows," Matt replied. "And the stronger the opponent, the more power they gain. Metal Garurumon was nearly killed back in the lower realm, but he wasn't and so, he grew stronger than I've ever dreamed!"
"In fact, look at what happened to your strength," Metal Garurumon said. "That strength you were once proud of. May you be incarnated as a true warrior!"
"Wait! Yamato! Tell your digimon partner to release me and I'll tell you a secret! It's about the same planet where the lower realm beings once resided. That includes where your digimon came from."
"What?!"
Metal Garurumon released his grip and allowed Machinedramon to regain his arm motions. Matt stood his ground and spoke up.
"What about this other lower realm? Spill it!"
"You wouldn't kill me if I were to tell you now, would you?"
"If you don't talk now, my digimon will rip your hide! Now tell me!"
"Remember those stories of how Gennai escaped with the original eight digicores? The same eggs that contained the eight digimon? Those were sent for the eight Digi-Destined. That same realm wasn't destroyed by a computer virus. No, it was destroyed by Lord Burizalor."
"What?!"
"Th-The strength of individual mega digimon is no match for Lord Burizalor. But if many of them united, it would be difficult for even him to deal with..."
"I can't believe this..."
"Heh. Thats not all. Among a small group of digimon, including destined eight, began to be born and were increasing their numbers. Lord Burizalor feared that if they were to begin taking power. They wouldn't obey orders so Lord Burizalor decided to take measures."
"Measures?"
Lord Burizalor himself destroyed the original homeland of the destined eight and an entire ancient race of digimon! But what, there's more! Don't hate him yet! he believed that you, Yamato Ishida, would prove useful! He saw fit to recruiting you once you returned back to the digital world! He saw your anger towards the other children and took matters to his own hands! He wanted to mold you into his own image!"
"What?"
"Heh. Sorry if that was too much shock for you. I think I'll take this chance to return to my lord."
"Ha. Don't get me wrong, Machinedramon. I could care less what happened to the ancient world. For a moment, I was getting agry...angry over the fact that you used me you bastards!"
"What?!"
Machinedramon saw the death glare from Metal Garurumon and flies off towards the skylines in attempt to escape. Machinedramon calls out for his master to warn him about Matt's whereabouts. However, Metal Garurumon phases out and appears in front of Machinedramon. Within a matter of moments, Metal Garurumon slashes through the mega with his chrome digizoid claws and shoots out an ice blast that damaged Machinedramon from the inside. Machinedramon was incentrated and blasted into vaporized data. Matt smirked over the destruction of another minion.
"So, Burizalor is afraid of the power of destined megas, huh?! This has gotten far more interesting than I first thought."
With Machinedramon out of the picture, Matt has a better chance of find Burizalor and seeking a way to snare the digicores. It has been revealed that the eight destined digimon were targets of Burizalor and that the ancient digital world was destroyed by the evil tyrant. It has also been revealed that Burizalor fears the power of the destined mega digimon.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
The Last Digicore! Get it before Burizalor Does, Yamato!
Matt smirked over the destruction of another minion.
"So, Burizalor is afraid of the power of destined megas, huh?! This has gotten far more interesting than I first thought."
Matt got on top of Metal Garurumon. The mega flies up into the air and searches the area from above.
"We've killed Machinedramon! He was so proud of his tremendous strength, which led to his own downfall! Metal Garurumon, even your new abilities surprise me! Our defeat back in the lower realm was probably the greatest thing to could've happened!"
"I agree. So, what now?"
"I'm remembering what Machinedramon had said about my brother. He claimed to have seen him and a girl. Kari. Well, how can we be sure that he was lying? There's no way that they would have found Spiral Mountain."
"I do sense two significant powers moving away from me. They couldn't be any normal digimon, but whom do they belong to?" Metal Garurumon asked.
"we should check this out. Whoever they are, they won't stand in my way. We don't have time to let little nuisances foil our opportunity in taking those digicores! Let's go, buddy, we've got no time to lose!"
Metal Garurumon turns and he quickly speeds off towards a far distance. From there, they would begin their search for the last digicore. He only needed one to prevent Burizalor and his men from snaring it. This was his chance to foil the evil overlord's diabolical schemes for immortality.
*********************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Angemon and Angewomon carried along the children towards their original post lcoation. Along with them, Chuumon hitched a ride after being saved by Angemon and TK from certain death at the hands of Machinedramon. They traveled out towards the location of the other Digi-Destined.
"We're almost to the cave where the other guys are hiding," TK said.
"Yay! I could use a little rest after all of that," Kari replied.
Suddenly, Angemon felt an incoming ki from another direction. He not just sensed any normal ki, but it was the energy of a powerful mega digimon.
"Hold on!" he exclaimed. "Something's coming fast!"
"He's right! We better hide quick!"
With that said, the angels dove down towards a newer hiding location, which was a small crevice in between several rock ledges. They flew down and dropped the children off. TK and Kari huddled together while the boy held Chuumon in a tight grip.
"Are you sure we won't get spotted here?" Kari asked.
"Angewomon and I will just have to suppress our ki. You better do that as well, Chuumon."
"My what? What's ki?"
"Nevermind. Just leave the rest up to luck," Angewomon said.
"It must be that metal head again," TK said. "But how would he find us without that gadget?"
"We'll just have to see if it's really him or not. It could be another minion set to pick up the slack," Angemon replied.
Just then, Metal Garurumon speeds across the horizon and quickly stops. matt searches the area cautiously.
"Both power have just vanished, Matt."
"What? They did? But didn't you just say that they were here just a minute ago?"
"I thought I snesed some energy levels here."
"Could your sensors be so wrong?"
TK looks up as his eyes widened. He taps Kari and points up. The girl gasps in shock. The angels look up towards the skies and were taken back by the surprise of seeing Metal Garurumon.
"It's Matt! My brother is really here! I can't believe it! We've got to go see him!"
"No! We have to stay out of sight! We don't know if he's really working with the enemy again," Kari said.
"She's right. It's best that we stay hidden."
"But that's my brother. he wouldn't attack us."
"We just can't trust him for now. After the way he had Metal Garurumon attack our digimon, I'm not about to forgive him just yet. He has to prove his worth," Angewomon said. "He's still guilty in my eyes."
"Well, if you say so."
"What now? Is he still there?" Chuumon asked.
"He's still looking," replied Angemon.
"So how did he know where we were?" pondered Kari.
"I guess you're still not practiced enough at sensing ki unaided," said Matt. "Maybe I shouldn't have broken that scouter."
Just then, Metal Garurumon quickly picked up an energy signal and looked down towards the hidden location where the angels were hiding.
"No! Don't tell me that Metal Garurumon has...learned the ability to...feel ki?" Angewomon thought.
"Looks like we were wrong," Angemon said. "Even if we digimon suppress our ki, there's Chuumon's tiny energy!"
"Ack! So, I'm going to be the cuase of the trouble! We're doomed!" Chuumon exclaimed.
"Be quiet!" TK said.
"You don't want him to hear us, do you?!" Kari replied.
"Matt. I feel a small power."
"This time don't lose it!"
"It's right this way!"
The angels were alarmed and they quickly covered the children. TK, Kari and Chuumon laid hidden under the weight of the two angels.
"H-He's coming this way! He's going to see us! We can't let him overtake us!" Angemon said.
Metal Garurumon looks down towards the crevice, but then turns to see a baby Whamon jumping out of the water. Matt was taken back by this and nods his head.
"So, it was just a small Whamon. No big deal. So that's what the fuss was about?"
"I guess so. That must have been from that Whamon all along."
"Oh well. Our first priority is to get at least the last digicore," Matt replied. "If we can just hide one, Burizalor won't be able to collect all four."
"Then we should take our chance to take his," Metal Garurumon said as he flew out towards the distance. "With their scouters destroyed, we might just have better luck afterall!"
As soon as the mega disappeared into the far distance, the angels sighed a relief. TK and Kari came out of hiding along with Chuumon.
"We are so lucky to be alive," Chuumon said. "Whew, thank goddramon!"
"I really thought it was all over," Kari said.
"My brother wouldn't do that. He's not ruthless. I have a good feeling that he's working against Burizalor," TK said. "I just know it!"
"We understand your feeling towards your brother, TK, but this is survival. We have to retrieve those digicores," Angemon said. "Anyway, we should get going back towards the others."
"Just remember to suprress your ki as much as you possibly can," Angewomon replied.
"I didn't even fight, but I feel so exhausted," Chuumon said.
"Same here," TK replied.
"We could really use some rest. I say we get going before any of Burizalor's goons finds us," said Kari.
With that said, the angels carried the children along as they flew off towards the location of the other Digi-Destined. They arrived at the cave site and landed. TK and Kari jumped off along with Chuumon. The angels de-evolved back to Gatomon and Patamon.
"Whew. I'm really starving," TK said. "To think that we shouldn't have ever come to this planet."
"I feel pretty bad for all those digimon friends we lost in the digital world," said Kari. "Centaurumon, Andromon, Piximon and Leomon."
"I just hope we don't end up being corpses," Patamon replied.
"Ugh. Don't even make me think about it. I've got a long digi-life ahead for myself," the feline digimon said.
"There's the cave!" TK said. "But, I don't see any of the others"
"Hmmm. They must be inside the cave then," Kari replied. "But then again, Mimi would really hate hiding in caves."
They walked inside the cave to search for the other Digi-Destined. They looked up ahead as they found a source of light.
"Hey! I see a light up ahead," said Patamon.
"Sora! Izzy! Mimi! Joe! We're back!" TK cried out.
Just then, Sora peeked out through a hatchet door. The children were glad to see the red-haired girl once again.
"Hey, guys! I'm so glad that you've come back!" Sora said.
"How did you manage to get the ship inside this cave?" Kari asked.
"Our digimon really helped out and worked to bring the broken ship here. We figured that we shouldn't be leaving it out for the enemy's use."
"Not a bad idea," said Gatomon.
"Say, who's this little guy?" Sora asked.
"Hey, Sora! Who are you talking to?" Mimi asked. "Ah! Hey, it's you!"
"Ah! Hey! It's you!" Chuumon exclaimed. "Mimi, isn't it?!"
"Hey, you two know each other?" TK asked.
"It's a long story. I didn't expect to see you here!" Mimi said.
"It's been so horrible," Chuumon said. "You guys should get out of here."
"We can talk this over with a cup of tea," Mimi said. "Just explain to good ol' Mimi about everything."
"Oh, guess what, guys?!" Sora said. "We've got an email from X! It's about Tai!"
"Wow! Is he really coming?!" Kari asked.
"In just six days, Tai and Agumon will be here," she replied. "X had a ship rebuilt for him. Agumon is also going through some incredible training. Looks like we'll have a chance at beating the enenmy!"
"Yeah! Alright! Tai is really coming back!" the children exclaimed.
"Incredible training, huh? Alright, now we have hope!" Gatomon said.
***************************************************************************************
Deep within space, the ship which harbored Tai and Agumon was still traveling out towards Spiral Mountain planet. Inside, Tai looked out from a corner as he watched War Greymon continuing his intensive training.
************************************************************************************
Metal Garurumon travels out over the long distance across the planet. He and Matt looked over the landscapes in search of any villages. Just then, the mega felt a large power level and flew down towards it's pinpoint location.
"Did you find something important, Metal Garurumon?"
"Not exactly, but I think I know what I'm looking for. I felt several departing power levels. There's no mistaken! That's a village! A pretty much abandoned. We better check to see if there is a digicore there."
"Good idea. But who in their right mind would leave it unguarded?"
"I have no idea."
"Well, let's be glad that Burizalor and his men have just lost their scouters. No matter what we do, they won't track us down!"
Metal Garurumon looks down and finds an abandoned village. The mega lands and was quite surprised to find no signs of life anywhere. Matt jumps off and walks across the ghost village.
"Odd. I didn't think Burizalor's men would have come this far out. Where are the villagers. Not like it matters, but we need to find a digicore."
The wolf began to sniff out the area and to pick up any scent left behind by villagers. Matt searched inside each hut to search for the last digicore.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at the cave, the Digi-Destined group were having a good meal while Kari and TK were explaining everything about their experience in the day. Sora and the others couldn't believe at what the children had just explained.
"That must have been scary," said Mimi. "You poor things. I'm so glad you came back safely."
"No kidding. I really thought we were going to die," TK said.
"Not when we're around to protect ya," replied Patamon.
"That's right. You guys wouldn't let us down."
"Hey, you should eat, Chuumon," Kari said. "Don't be shy. Help yourself."
Chuumon simply sat there and sighed to himself.
"I don't blame him a bit," Mimi said. "Most of his friends were killed in that village. Not to mention Sukamon. They were close as friends."
"I remember that," Izzy said. "That Sukamon tried to kiss you."
"Yuck, don't remind me. Oh, sorry, Chuumon. I didn't mean to blabber out like that."
"It's ok. Sukamon was a good friend and I'll miss him dearly. Don't worry. I can wait until he's reborn at Primary Village. Then, I might be able to see him back in the digital world.."
"So, how did you end up on Spiral Mountain?" Joe asked. "You came from the digital world anyway, did you?"
"Well, it all started with a large quake. Sukamon and I were minding our own business doing the usual. The great quake came and it caused a major uplift throughout the digital world. A large chunk was taken apart and it separated. Then, it floated out into space and it reformed into the shape of a planet with a large mountain in the center. Sukamon and I were shocked to realize that we were separated from our home. So, we meet up with many villagers and colonized the mountain. This all took place after you guys went back home."
"So, the great shift of Spiral Mountain occurred as soon as he left for the real world?" Sora said. "That makes sense. Time goes by differently here than it does over in the real world."
"So, this Burizalor guy. Was he any threatening?" Gomamon asked. "He doesn't sound tough."
"I don't know about that," Gatomon replied. "But I did sense a great evil power from that guy. It seemed like he had his power dormant. When you do see him, don't let his looks fool you. That guy is rotten to the core."
"I've never heard of such a vile creature," Sora said. "How can he go around and order his men to kill those innocent digimon? That isn't right."
"We'll get him once Tai gets here. He'll help us crush these creeps!" Kari said. "I can't wait until he shows up!"
"Oh, speaking of which, I saw my brother here!"
"What?! You saw Matt here?!" everyone else asked.
"We saw him passing by with Metal Garurumon," Kari replied. "I bet he was out looking for the last digicore. We know that Burizalor has possession of three of those digicores. But if we or Matt manage to snare that last digicore, then Burizalor has a lesser chance of gaining his wish of immortality."
"I don't know if Matt and that Burizalor guy are in on it together, but if either one of them gets the power of all four digicores, we'll be dealing with an immortal enemy," Joe said. "I don't think we can handle something like that!"
"Don't get your hopes up, Joe. Just think positive thoughts. It's great for stress," Gomamon said.
"How can we stay calm?! We have to get those digicores fast!"
"If we could find one digicore ourselves and hide it, they could never get all of them," Izzy said.
"Well, you better think again. If we were to do something like that, then they will kill everyone of those digimon off one by one. We can't risk the lives of others just to cover our own hide. That's very selfish," kari said.
"Yeah, that's a good point, Kari," TK said.
"Even if Tai and Agumon get here, we don't know if he could win against them," said Sora.
"If he went on and defeated Matt, then we would have a better chance," said Patamon.
"Patamon. That's my brother you're talking about. I don't want to see those two fighting again. Burizalor should be the real enemy here, not my brother."
"Can you really save us, Digi-Destined?" Chuumon asked. "What can you do with the digicores?"
**************************************************************************************
Metal Garurumon continued to search the entire village. Matt walked out from each hut with a disappointed look on his face. The mega could easily read the look on his partner's face.
"Any luck, Matt?"
"Nothing! Man, this really sucks! There's no signs of that digicore. Maybe Burizalor beat us here to the punch!"
"Hang on, Matt. I think I see something. Stand tight and shield your eyes!"
Matt covered myself as Metal Garurumon shoots out a blast that went over towards a nearby empty village home. It exploded on impact and was left nothing more than a pile of rubble. As the smoke cleared, a shining orb was levitating. This attracted Metal Garurumon long enough for him to snatch it. The wolf jumps back towards Matt and hands it over to his partner. Matt eyes the digicore as if it were a millions dollars. His grin widened.
"Perfect timing, my friend. Now we have one digicore! As long as we have this, we'll halt Burizalor's plans of becoming immortal and I'll be taking his three precious digicores. Aren't I always the great genius that I'm always am?"
"Indeed."
"Now to move on with the next phase of our plan."
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined had explained everything to Chuumon over the situation that had happened back in the digital world and the loss of the digimon warriors. Chuumon was beginning to understand their need for the digicores.
"So we want to bring the life of those digimon, so we won't have to wait until they get reborn at Primary Village. We know it takes a very slow process anyway," Izzy said.
"You understand our needs, Chuumon?" Tentomon asked.
"Yes, now I know. Please come with me! I'll take you guys to Gennai!"
"What?! Gennai?!'
"You guys know Gennai?"
"Do, we ever! He has helped us along the way throughout this whole adventure in the first place. Sure, he can be a little on the forgetful side, but he has helped us through," said Sora. "We'd so appreicate it if you took us to him."
"Sure, we better get there fast if you guys want a chance to find those digicores. He knows a lot about them, since he helped create them."
"He helped to create the digicores?!"
"Yes, now we better hurry. Time is of the essence."
************************************************************************************
Metal Garurumon searched the entire village once again and found no signs of digital life. He gave the nod to Matt. The boy examined the digicore and turned his attention over towards a nearby pond.
"Now, I'll take this and throw it into the pond."
With that said, Matt tosses the digicore down into the pond and watches as it sinks down into the bottom.
"Heh. Heh. No one will find this digicore if I sink it here," said Matt. "I'm the only one who knows. Let's go, Metal Garurumon!"
The mega flies over and allows Matt to hop onto his back. Metal Garurumon flies over the landscape as they scouted the area.
"What should we do now, Matt?"
"Well, Burizalor has three digicores. I say we survey the area in search of my brother. Maybe we can ask for his help."
"Hmmm, not a bad idea. Thats if we find him."
"If what Machinedramon said was true, then we should be able to find him."
Metal Garurumon heads out towards the northside and speeds off into the far distance. From here, they would search for the whereabouts of TK. Matt was desperate in finding his brother. He needed him to help gather the three digicores.
"I know you're out there, TK. You're bound to be out there and if you're here, then Tai should be here too. How perfect. This is way too good to be true. What a perfect day this has become."
**********************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Burizalor, BlueMeramon and Myotismon were still bound to the village which was destroyed a little while ago. They had heard nothing from Machinedramon nor where they aware of Matt's whereabouts.
"Machinedramon is taking too long," Myotismon said. "Do you think that he's still chasing after those little creatures?"
"Why bother with a fool who can't even capture a couple of children," the evil one replied. "Go search for the last digicore instead."
"Yes, sir! There can't be many villages left, afterall," BlueMeramon said.
"If we both search, I'm sure we'll find it soon enough," Myotismon said.
"Then I shall be waiting back at the spaceship," Burizalor said. "I'll have these three digicores, gentlemen. Myotismon-san."
"Sir."
"I am counting on you, Myotismon-san. Just one more and my wish will be granted."
With that said, Myotismon and BlueMeramon fly up towards the skylines. Myotismon prepared to give orders to the last foot soldier.
"You look towards the left direction. If you find a village, don't do anything-just come and tell me! These villagers have warriors that would be too much for you! In any case, meet me back at the spaceship in three hours. Got it?"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as the two departed for the digicore search, Burizalor examined the three digicores with great lust.
"It could be possible that Yamato has already found it. But if he has, he will surely come after ours, which would simply save us the time to find his digicore. Let that fool attack, we'll kill him, take this digicore and hace all four sooner than we hoped. Not that I'm in a hurry to become immortal."
With the power of telekinesis, the evil one brought forth the three digicores towards him and started flying off towards the direction of this spaceship.
"All I need to do is wait patiently at my ship, Yamato will eventually come to me."
***********************************************************************************
"So Gennai is here? What's his position on this planet?" asked Sora. "We haven't heard from him for quite a while since our return to the digital world."
"He's the elder of Spiral Mountain. He's assigned to watch over us and help the other elders guard the digicores," Chuumon said. "He's helped us through and through to build our societies."
"So tell us, why are we going to Gennai," TK asked.
"I'll explain everything once we leave here and get there as soon as possible. Since, Burizalor and his men have captured three of the digicores. I'm pretty sure that Matt guy could have captured the last one."
"Then, Gennai must know about it's secrets. I bet theres something that Gennai knows about these digicores, which both Burizalor and Matt are unaware of!" Izzy said. "It's a very possible theory."
"Let's not forget that Metal Garurumon can sense ki now. He doesn't need a scouter anymore!" Gatomon replied.
"Then, we have to warn Gennai!" Chuumon exclaimed.
"Then, let's hurry!" Gatomon said. "Kari, I better digivolve!"
"Right!"
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays]
Kari's digivice shoots out a bright light, which showered over Gatomon. The champion was prepared to digivolve.
"Gatomon shinka!"
The cat evolved from a small mammal into that of a tall blonde-haired woman with white clothing, a helmet covering her face and nearly four pairs of wings on her back.
"Angewomon!"
"We better go as well!" Sora exclaimed. "We can't let either Matt or Burizalor get eternal life! Biyomon! Let's go!"
Sora's digivice shoots out a bright light, which showered over Biyomon. The rookie was prepared to digivolve.
"Biyomon shinka!"
The bird digimon evolved from a small creature into that of a large phoenix-like giant with large wings and reptile-like teeth over her beak.
"Birdramon!"
"Alright! You guys stay here!" Sora ordered. "There's no point in all of us going!"
"Alright! But you guys better becareful!" TK said.
"Make sure you don't run into Matt or any of Burizalor's goons," said Patamon. "We're definitely counting on you!"
"Since we're flying, we better suppress our ki energy," Angewomon said. "We don't want Matt looking for us there."
"Let's go! Fly as fast as you can!" Kari said.
Chuumon hops onto the right leg of Birdramon, while Sora held onto the left leg. The two digimon flew out towards the skies in order to head over towards Gennai's area. It would be quite a trip, since the digimon would also have to suppress their energy.
"You guys becareful. Who knows what kind of danger is out there. I wouldn't count my brother as the enemy. He'll eventually ecome to our side when the time is right," TK thought.
"It seems like Matt's digimon has gotten stronger," Angewomon thought. "I felt an even more powerful ki from that Burizalor monster. I don't know what kind of training Agumon is doing, but I have a feeling that it just won't cut it. Anyway, we've gotta warn Gennai about all this and hide out for the next five to six days until Tai gets here. After that, all we can hope for is one of Tai's miracles. They say once you pray for miracles, it's all over."
**********************************************************************************
Deep within digital space, the spaceship harboring both Tai and Agumon was still traveling out towards Spiral Mountain planet. It would be from about five to six days until it would finally reach the destination.
War Greymon continued his heavy training while Tai looked on from a corner. War Greymon flips backwards under the heavy gravity. The mega lands back on his feet and let out a deep breathe.
"Whew! I think I've gotten used to the 20G, Tai. I think we should up it a little more."
"Yeah, I guess we can try the 30G soon."
"Tai! Can you hear me?!" a voice called out from Tai's thoughts.
"Is that you, X?"
"No, the voice that drives you insane! Of course it's me! Are you deep in space?"
"Yeah, we're pretty much five to six days for our destination."
"Ah, good. So, is War Greymon training heavily?"
"You're supposed to be the overseer of the digital worlds, why ask?"
"I just like to ask questions thats all."
"So you're aware that something terrible is happening on Spiral Mountain?"
"Yes, I'm aware of what's going on, but that's really not important for now. You're friends are fine. I happen to have some guests here."
"Guests? What about them?"
"It's amazing! They cleared the long road and got here in a far shorter time than you two did! And there are four of them!"
"Four?"
"Yes. You should know them very well."
"Y-You mean?!"
"That's right! They even want training even tougher than what you got!"
"No way! Centaurumon! Leomon! Piximon! Andromon!"
*********************************************************************************
X stood by with the four warrior digimon standing behind him. Each of them sported a halo, which indicated their status.
With one digicore found, Matt has managed to foil a portion of Burizalor's plans! Now Sora and Kari are on their way to meet with Gennai and warn him of the situation occuring on Spiral Mountain! Will five to six days be enough for Tai and Agumon to arrive?!

Coral: Toei screwed up the opportunity to present Taiora and Rukato. At least, they made up for it by giving us Tazumi. But I still hate them for screwing over Tai and Takato.
SSJ4T: Let's put that aside right now. If you want, we can go over to their company and threaten to beat their asses.
Coral: Ooo, that would be swell!
Takuya: So, are we going to get a taste of the episode?
Zoe: Yeah, I've been dying to see some action.
SSJ4T: You're right. I can't hold back on my loyal readers now. What are you guys listening to me ramble for? Go on and read the fic! You don't know what you're missing! Enjoy.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Where's the Last Digicore?! Myotismon and Metal Garurumon Face Off!
Tai and War Greymon were excited about the fact that the four killed digimonw arriors were going to begin their hard training with X. He thought that he would never hear from them again, until they were reborn at Primary Village.
"Yeah! That's awesome!" Tai exclaimed. "Dead or not, they made it over to your training grounds!"
"That's a rather unexpecting event," War Greymon said.
****************************************************************************************
Back over at the other side of the digital realm, X stood by with the four warrior digimon standing behind him. Each of them sported a halo, which indicated their status. X was now clearly speaking to Tai and War Greymon through his mind.
"So, are we able to communicate with the boy?" Centaurumon asked.
"You may put your hand on my shoulder and speak. That's how you will be able to speak to the boy."
With an approving nod, Centaurumon walks over to X and palces his hand on the masked man's shoulder. He began to speak to Tai through telepathy.
"Taichi, can you hear me? We met with Gennai a while ago here and he told us about this place. We hear that you're going to Spiral Mountain to gain the digicores. So we maybe able to come back to life without waiting to be reborn at Primary Village. It's such a pain having to wait."
"You said that there are four of you. I bet that Andromon, Piximon and Leomon are there, too!"
"You got that right."
"If anything, I'll be the one who will benefit from this training," Leomon replied.
"Let me tell you Taichi, the gravity in this palce is off the chart. I'm so heavy that I can barely run," Centaurumon stated.
"Oh that's not a problem. War Greymon has been there and done that. The gravity that War Greymon will be putting himself through will be during the five days until we get to Spiral Mountain. Trust me, his training now will be nothing."
"I have to get stronger than ever," War Greymon said. "Or you guys will have some company."
"You've hinted at something terrible. Tell us," X said.
"Agumon was still banged up. You might already know that my friends have gone to Spiral Mountain without us. But someone else was looking for the digicores too. Matt and Metal Garurumon are there," Tai stated.
"What?!" the four warriors exclaimed.
"Are they safe?" X asked.
"According to War Greymon, those two haven't noticed them yet, but sooner or later they will find my friends. Maybe I should have stopped Matt before he left the digital world. My friends are stranded there. Their ship got screwed!"
"But even that may not be the worst thing," War Greymon replied. "There are other creatures after all of the digicores too. They're wearing the same armor as the invaders did and one of them has a ki power that far exceeds that of Metal Garurumon's!"
"Damn and here I saw that Metal Garurumon was much too even for War Greymon. Is his name by any chance Burizalor?"
"We'll let you know as soon as we find out," Tai stated.
"I'll see what I can learn, Tai"
"Gee! Thanks, dude!"
"Alright. I'm pinpointing Spiral Mountain's exact location..."
Suddenly, X easily located the planet and was taken back after feeling a tremendous ki that far exceeded that of any digital being known in the digital world.
"Ah! I feel...a tremendous ki...and the source..."
The masked fighter quickly got a glimpse of the evil creature from Spiral Mountain and he definitely pictured Burizalor in possession of three digicores.
"Yes! It is Burizalor! I knew he was up to this!"
"X. What's up? Do you know this Burizalor guy?"
"Tai. Your greatest philosphy has always been your belief that you and your partner can handle anything. But not this time, Tai! No one can handle this one! Just stay the hell away!"
"Huh? But, what for? What's the deal?"
"Tai, I'm ordering you. When you reach Spiral Mountain, just take your friends and get the hell out of there. At your current status, you will be unable to defeat him. His power far exceeds War Greymon's by far! I'm not saying this just for your sake, but for your friends, the digital world and even your own planet!"
"I never knew there was anybody that powerful," War Greymon stated. "I'd hate to be that close to him and yet not be able to see him..."
"No! You guys better stay away from him!"
Leomon placed his hand on X's shoulder and began to speak his mind towards Tai.
"Taichi. Just grab those digicores and bring us back to life. I will soon be more powerful than perhaps even War Greymon. Together, we should have no problem laying the smackdown on this Burizalor."
"Fool! You really don't know what you're talking about," X said. "why don't we just start the training right away?"
"I'm glad you really thought that quick. I'm ready," Leomon said.
"But you won't go and stop Burizalor afterwards. You have to stay here. You don't want to die again and let that wish go to waste."
"Not a problem."
"Hmmm. This training ought to be very interesting. I could exceed to my limits and hope to find a way to lend a helping hand to the digi-destined. They did so much to protect our world and it's only right to repay for their efforts," Andromon thought.
From there, the four warriors gathered as they prepared to withstand the harsh training from X. If War Greymon was able to pass the entire training regime, then the four digimon warriors should successfully complete it. It wouldn't be easy, but who said it was even going to be that easy. Five days were under way and War Greymon has the opportunity to exceed 20 times the gravity.
"Tai. Even of I don't fight this guy, it never hurts to get stronger."
"I agree. There's nothing thats going to bring us down! Now let's take the gravity to the next level! Let's go for 50 Gs!"
**************************************************************************************
Back on Spiral Mountain, Birdramon and Angewomon were still traveling out over the landscape to make it over towards the location of Gennai's dwelling. Chuumon helped Kari and Sora with the directions.
"So, how lonmg is it going to take to get to Gennai at this rate?" Kari asked.
"At this rate, I'd give it about five hours," Chuumon replied.
"Five more hours? That sucks. I would hate to be sitting on my butt all day like this," Sora said. "We could exceed faster than this, but our digimon's energy might attract attention, especially from Metal Garurumon."
Elsewhere, Metal Garurumon was still flying out in search for TK. Matt looked down and was not having any luck in finding his younger brother.
"I search and search, but I can't find anymore concentrations of ki," Metal Garurumon thought.
"So, I guess there aren't anymore villages on this friggin' planet!"
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon felt a very faint ki and turned around to see where the location of the ki was. Matt noticed this and asked his partner about his stop.
"What's wrong? Did you find a village?"
"Two sources are moving. Two sources of ki," Metal Garurumon replieed. "One of them feels very different from the villagers and Burizalor's men."
"Who else is there? Only one way to find out."
With that said, Metal Garurumon speeds off into the distance. They would then track this ki and investigate it's whereabouts. Angewomon was quick to realize this and picked up the mega's strong ki.
"Birdramon stop!"
"What is it?"
"What's the problem?" Kari asked.
"It's Metal Garurumon! He spotted us and he's coming at high speed!"
Metal Garurumon was coming right towards the location. Matt was desperate to find out what source was emitting such ki. Angewomon and Birdramon dove towards a deep crevice. From there, they laid on the ground while covering the children protectively. Metal Garurumon makes a u-turn and stops at the exact location where the two digimon once flew.
"What? Now he's beginning to change directions," said Birdramon.
"Ah! I feel another ki! Metal Garurumon is going straight for that one!" Angewomon exclaimed.
Metal Garurumon flies out towards another direction, while leaving Sora and Kari behind with their digimon. Matt was quick to know who his digimon was gunning after.
"So, it's him afterall?"
"Yes! No doubt about that!" the mega replied. "That's Myotismon! I've been waiting for him to start moving alone!"
Myotismon turned and felt a powerful ki heading for his direction.
"Just what the hell is- That's Metal Garurumon and Yamato!"
The mega stops and levitates in front of the ultimate. Myotismon stopped and stared right in the face of the hungry mega. A smile crept over Matt's face.
"Well, it's been a long time," Matt said. "How are you doing, Myotismon. You're looking well."
"Yamato..."
"We've done away with Machinedramon. Now it's your turn."
"What? You want me to believe that your digimon managed to destroy Machinedramon by himself?"
"Yeah and quite easily if I may add."
"I don't believe that! You're just making up crap."
"You must allow me to convince you," Matt replied.
"Why do you even persist in this pointless defiance against Lord Burizalor?"
"i have no choice," the boy continued on. "A Digi-Destined like myself shouldn't be lowered by taking orders from the likes of you. I've long respected for his sheer power for as long as I had to, but now that I know that there's a source for eternal life.."
"You're mentioning the digicores, am I right?"
"That's right! Burizalor will never have them all. Once they're mine, even he cannot kill my partner and myself."
"Ha! Do you really believe that you can defeat Lord Burizalor with just eternal life?"
"I'm sorry that you're scouting devices were trashed or you would realize that my partner's power has grown beyond the imagination."
"Feh, you're so damn blind, boy. Lord Burizalor's abilities transcend anything you can comprehend."
"You idiots just will never admit the truth! Machinedramon admitted that Burizalor feared mega digimon like Metal Garurumon. Especially those woth a human partner and a crest. And now you will see what your lord fears..."
"Watch that tongue of yours, arrogant fool! What Lord Burizalor loathed was a union of all the mega digimon! Alone you are nothing!"
"Oh, am I now?" the mega asked.
With that said, Metal Garurumon quickly phases out and catches Myotismon by complete surprise. The vampire turns as he felt the mega appear from the corner of his eye. Myotismon turns and throws a punch, which Metal Garurumon easily caught. Matt held on tightly as Metal Garurumon prepared for his next attack. The mega snares Myotismon and hoists him up into the air. Myotismon goes flying, but he manages to stop himself. Both digimon quickly phase out. Myotismon appears aove the skylines and looks down to find Metal Garurumon. The vampire places a palm out and shoots out an enormous ki blast, which came hurtling towards the mega. Metal Garurumon waited patiently and howled as he caught the blast with his mouth. Matt cried out as Metal Garurumon deflected the blast towards a far off horizon. Myotismon was speechless and watched the blast explode. The explosion covered a large area of land. As a result, several small ridges were wiped out and all that was left was a small body of water.
"You...You-You knocked...it away!"
As Angewomon and Birdramon were about to move out, they watched the explosion from the far distance. Chuumon, Kari and Sora were shocked by the enormous ground the blast had covered.
"Those are two big ki!" Angewomon exclaimed. Metal Garurumon and some other bruiser."
"It's got to be none other than that Myotismon who was with Burizalor," Birdramon replied. "This is way out of our league. Let them cream each other."
"Alright! I say we mvoe out before they find us," Sora said. "We don't have time to waste!"
The digimon picked the children up and fled out towards the distance. At the same time, they avoided the area where the two fighters were dueling.
"Now's our chance!" Angewomon said. "Full speed to Gennai's dwelling!"
Meanwhile, Metal Garurumon came flying at Myotismon and executes a headbutt across his face. The vampire jerks back, but returns the favor with rapid kicks. The mega easily avoided each kick with tremendous speed.
"Ha! Could this really be the great Myotismon?!" Matt said. "Compared to Metal Garurumon, you look like you're standing still!"
With that said, the mega delivers a tail swipe which knocked Myotismon down towards the ground below. Metal Garurumon dives down to catch up with his fallen adversary. With great agility, Myotismon lands on the ground and prepared to attack with his Crimson Lighting. Just then, he turned as he felt Metal Garurumon's presence from behind him. The mega executes a mule kick, which sends Myotismon sailing back through the ground. The vampire slowly recovered and got onto his feet.
"My digimon hasn't even broken a sweat yet, Myotismon!" Matt laughed.
"Uh. Heh. Heh. You're digimon hit me pretty hard, Yamato. And that's awakened the power that's lain dormant in me for years..."
"What? What the freak are you talking about this dormant power that's lain dormant in you for years?"
"You just don't get it, Yamato."
"Oh I see. Ha! Ha! You're a real comedy act, Myotismon! You really do keep me entertained!"
"Now, before you die, I will tell you why I let my tru power sleep for so long," the vampire continued. "In order to give full scope to my power, you see. I must transform, but the form I must take is hideous...and I am quite fond of my looks. You understand, right? But if my choice is between ugliness and death..."
"You transform? Like Metal Garurumon? You digimon say the darnest things when you are so desperate."
"Well, I don't become insanely large like your digimon, but my strength increases over whelmingly!"
"I look forward to this," Metal Garurumon replied.
"If you hand a brain, you would be terrified. Alright, it's your funeral."
With that said, Myotismon's body expanded out and his body started to glow. He started to grow into the size of a large palm tree and his arms stretched out. A pair of demonic wings sprouted from his back and his laughs turned into that of growls. He had now evolved straight into his mega form, Venom Myotismon. However, he wasn't as large as the original Myotismon was back on earth. Metal Garurumon and Matt were both taken back as memories of Venom Myotismon flashed before their very eyes. The monster's muscles expanded and his claws extracted fiercely. Unlike his slow, lumbering counterpart, this monster flew out towards Metal Garurumon with full speed. Venom Myotismon grabs Metal Garurumon across the face and delivers a devastating headbutt to him. The wolf cries out, while Matt was much too stiffened to move.
Venom Myotismon hoists Metal Garurumon towards the skylines above. Matt cries out, which managed to give more power to his crest. Metal Garurumon reacted to the boy's pleas and dives down at the demon beast. Venom Myotismon smirked and flew towards the wolf. The demon delivers a painful fist to Metal Garurumon's face, which sends him flying through several rock slopes. Venom Myotismon goes for another attack, but Metal Garurumon flew to the side, The two megas stared each other down.
"Damn! What is this?!" Matt thought. "I wasn't even expecting this!"
"I told you, Yamato. You have only yourself to blame being this surprised," the beast spoke. "A terrible misjudgment on your part. Your digimon has vastly improved on his skill, but both of your arrogance is even worse."
"Shut up!"
"Let me tell you something else to ponder in your afterlife...Lord Burizalor has tole me that he, too, transforms."
"What?! That's not possible!" exclaimed a horrified Matt.
The boy had never felt such an overbearing revealition as he had just heard from Venom Myotismon. He never knew that Burizalor also had the ability to transform. He shook off that nightmarish thought as Venom Myotismon prepared to make his next attack. The beast extended a palm and shoots out a ki blast. Metal Garurumon flies up to avoid it. The beast phases out and quickly appears in front of Metal Garurumon. Venom Myotismon brings a knee to the wolf's gut. Venom Myotismon grabs Metal Garurumon and quickly goes for a devastating piledriver towards the ground below. Matt looks on with horror as Venom Myotismon jumps to the side. Metal Garurumon goes crashing through the ground below. Matt felt the tremendous impact and was pushed away. The boy fell down and was left in an unconscious state. Metal Garurumon de-evolved back to Gabumon as he laid over the deep crater. The rookie crawls and sinks into the water. Venom Myotismon looks on with a satisified smirk on his demonic face.
"Hmmm, he's not showing himself. The boy is unconscious. Is the digimon dead? That Metal Garurumon is tough and treacherous. Heh, but I wonder how will he'll be able to lie still in the water without drowning."
Venom Myotismon quickly deverted back to his ultimate form, Myotismon.
"Even if he did survive, I'm sure he won't want another piece of me, now that he's seen my full power! Well then, I suppose I'll have to report this to Lord Burizalor."
With that said, Myotismon flies out towards the direction heading to none other than Burizalor's ship. With the vampire gone from dight, Gabumon dives out from the water and emerges onto land. He coughs and hacks out the unnecessary water from his body. He slowly crawls over towards the unconcsious body of Matt.
"I won't let it end like this, Matt. I swear to it. I'll become stronger..."
Gabumon continues to crawl over to his fallen partner. He struggled with all of his might to remain in conscious state.
After being pummeled by the transformed Myotismon, it has been revealed that Burizalor, too, has the ability to transform into a hideous lifeform. Can Gabumon recover in time to save his fallen partner? Sora and Kari have to make it to see Gennai and warn him about the digicores. But, most importantly, Tai and Agumon must hurry! Five days just isn't enough.

Tai: Yo! This is Tai! While Myotismon informs Burizalor about Matt's whereabouts, Kari and Sora manage to find Gennai!
Kari: It's good to see you again, Gennai!
Sora: I thought your home was under a pond?
Gennai: Well, can't a guy have a chance to move out and find another decent home?
Myotismon: Sir, I have found Yamato and his digimon.
Burizalor: Bring him on over.
Myotismon: What?! He's escaped! Yamato has..
Burizalor: Yamato!

Max: Wow, Myotismon kicked Metal Garurumon's ass? But he had to transform!
Takuya: No good cheat! I'm so looking forward to the first eventual digital fusion!
Zoe: So, how long until the showdown against Burizalor himself?
Coral: Well at the rate we're going, we'll prbably be finished with this entire saga by the end of August.
Takuya: 'Till August?
SSJ4T: Yeah. From there, I'll probably get started on the Artifical Saga rather than the Digimon Kaizer Saga.
Zoe: Why's that?
SSJ4T: The Digimon Kaizer Saga is perfect the way it is and doesn't need to be rewritten. I might just go back, separate the double episode posts to extend the series.
Coral: Not a bad idea. Then, you can focus more on the Artifical series. Oo! So, when will I get a chance to be featured in my own fics.
SSJ4T: I'm also considering writing a series based on Coral, which will be a spinoff series from the Dragonball Z series itself.
Coral: I'm so going to be famous.
Max: You've got your work cut out for ya dude.
SSJ4T: Well, I am a hard-working author. Well, we're out of time. So until then, we're outta here!

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Gennai's New Home?! Yamato's Trecherous Scheme Against Burizalor!
Myotismon flies out towards the direction heading to none other than Burizalor's ship. With the vampire gone from dight, Gabumon dives out from the water and emerges onto land. He coughs and hacks out the unnecessary water from his body. He slowly crawls over towards the unconcsious body of Matt.
"I won't let it end like this, Matt. I swear to it. I'll become stronger..."
Gabumon continues to crawl over to his fallen partner. He struggled with all of his might to remain in conscious state.
***********************************************************************
Meanwhile, BlueMeramon was at the abandoned village where Metal Garurumon and Matt found the last digicore. He found no signs of life. This was rather shocking since there would be villagers to guard the area, but there was not a single soul.
"I-I can't believe it," the soldier said. "A village we haven't even found and there's noone here? I guess the villagers abandoned it after they heard about our whereabouts. Hmmm, I wonder if Yamato had anything to do with this. I must tell Lord Burizalor.."
With that said, BlueMeramon flies off towards the direction leading to Burizalor's main ship. It was only about a few minutes away from this exact village location.
*************************************************************************
Back over at the main spaceship, Burizalor levitated in front of his beloved ship. He was rather quiet and didn't flinch. It seemed rather creepy since this lunatic would be out slaughtering villagers. Just then, the evil one heard a voice from an intercom.
"Lord Burizalor. It is me, Myotismon."
"Come in, please."
The hatchet door opens and reveals to be none other than Myotismon. He seemed a little busted up from the fight against Metal Garurumon, but seemed to have healed his wounds since then. He comes walking in.
"Did you find a village?"
"No, I haven't yet. However, I did defeat Yamato's digimon."
"Ah, I take that you've transformed for the first time, Myo-san. And are they dead?"
"The boy and his digimon? I did not confirm one of their corpse's, sir...but even if they did survive, they would be seriously injured."
"Why did you not confirm it?"
"Well, the Gabumon sunk under the water..."
"You could have simply dived in. Do you happen to have a fear of water? Why have you been slacking in your duties recently?"
"Forgive me, sir! I'll go confirm right away!"
"Lord Burizalor! I found a village!" BlueMeramon exclaimed as he came running into the room. "But it seems to have been abandoned."
"What did you say?"
"Could it be Yamato's doing?" Myotismon asked. "He-He didn't even have a digicore with him. He must have hid it somewhere. Damn him!"
"Myo-san, bring Yamato and Gabumon here at once!" Burizalor commanded. "This time you should set your hopes on them being alive."
"Yes, sir."
"Foot soldier! Contact Planet Buriza and tell the Demon Special Corps to come here! Make sure to let them know to bring new scouters. They should arrive in about five days."
"What?!" Myotismon exclaimed. "The Demon Special Corps?!"
"Yes, sir! I'll go confirm that right away!" BlueMeramon replied.
"Lord Burizalor, why call for the Demon Special Corps?" Myotismon asked. "I'm afraid you will think me foolish to say so, but I feel there is no need to call them."
"I have an odd premonition," the evil one replied.
"A premonition?"
"I've been thinking it over. I feel that a very powerful mega is developing and might eventually become a genuine threat. I had thought that it was Yamato's Gabumon at first, but that seems less likely now."
"But, my lord, how likely can that be? Besides Yamato, the only other children who possess great powers and strong digimon happen to be this Taichi, Hikari and Takeru. Not to mention the fact that their digimon's power levels are weaker than Gabumon's."
"Are you saying that I am fantasizing, Myo-san? You would do better simply to bring Yamato and Gabumon to me..."
"Yes, sir."
With that said, Myotismon flies out through a nearby open hatchet window and heads out to the location of where he had battled Metal Garurumon. Burizalor stood inside his private chambers and looked out towards Spiral Mountain's scenery. He began to think over to himself.
"These children's megas do seem to have limitless combat abilities. They improve greatly every time they survive a battle. It does seem absurd that one could ever be a match for me, of course. But I must think of the future. It would be more than a nuisance if they were to reach the legendary fusion fighter. A warrior combined of both a digimon and a human. Two minds into one. Each sharing a common bond and special trait. I must not let that happen if I am to rule the digital universe."
***********************************************************************************
Back over at the former battle site, Gabumon dragged Matt across the grassland with every ounce of his strength. The heat was taking it's toll on the fur-covered digimon. He eventually feel to his knees and started panting.
"I must seek shelter for the both of us. I must do what I can to protect...you...We can't...die..."
As soon as Gabumon collasped on top of Matt, Myotismon locates them and lands in front of their fallen bodies.
"Hmmm. These two were alive! What does it take to put them down?"
Myotismon kneels as he snatches them up under his arms.
"As it turns out, it's a blessing. We'll give these two lucky fools medical treatment. After that, we'll confront him and make him tell us where the last digicore is hidden. Then, let's hope that death comes knocking at Yamato's door."
With that said, Myotismon flies off towards Burizalor's ship with Matt and Gabumon under his arms. He carried them and made sure not to awaken them, even though the two were already unconscious. Another day has now passed from his point, even though the sun didn't come out already. It has been sunny since then and hasn't changed.
***********************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the spaceship containing the two heroes was still traveling out through space. It would only be a few days before it makes it's official landing on Spiral Mountain. War Greymon had taken this time to really train. Tai would simply watch as his digimon trains his hardest to become strong enough to battle Burizalor's minions, and eventually the evil one himself.
Within a blink of an eye, War Greymon phases out and starts moving around through the speed of light inside the gravity chamber. The mega throws out rapid punches and lands down to catch his breath. Tai started clapping in improval for his digimon partner.
"Way to go, War Greymon! Now, that's the way! You're quickly becoming an expert at this."
"Tai...Can-Can't go on anymore...I have to rest..."
"Alright, you've conquered 50Gs faster than I thought you could. Maybe that duel with Metal Garurumon wasn't entirely for nothing."
"You're right. So, you getting hungry?"
"Dude! I'm starving! Let's go get some grub!"
"Cool! I call dibs on the ham and steak!"
************************************************************************************
Back on Spiral Mountain, Kari, Sora and Chuumon were taking it easy while Angewomon and Birdramon were looking out to see where Metal Garurumon and Myotismon disappeared off to. It has been rather quiet for quite sometime since the showdown duel. Sora looks over at a sleeping Chuumon and shakes his shoulders.
"Hey, Chuumon! Wake up! Kari, you better wake up too. We can't go to Gennai's if you don't show us the way."
With that said, the children rounded up on Birdramon. The flying digimon set off towards Gennai's through Chuumon's directions. Since there was noone to distract them, they could finally make it over to Gennai's in short piece.
"It can't be much further, right?" Kari asked. "Tell us, we're the ones doing all the work."
"So, which way? Straight or what?" asked Sora.
"A little more to the left. That's it. There! To the top of that rock!"
"Ah! I see it!" Birdramon replied.
"Let's land on that rock," Angewomon stated.
The group stopped as they hovered over what looked like a small hut made out of some protective stone. The hut appeared to have some windows and was nearly built like a fortress.
"Phew! What a haul," Sora said. "But I'm glad we've made it here. If we wouldn't have come here, those bad guys would have beaten us here to it for sure."
"Gennai is in that hut," Chuumon replied.
Birdramon and Angewomon both landed on the top. The children jumped off from Birdramon's legs. Chuumon starts running towards the front door.
"Any chance they could have gotten to him already?" Kari pondered.
"What?! I hope not!" Chuumon replied.
Suddenly, the front door automatically opened. The group stopped at their tracks as an individual came walking out. He appeared to be a blue dragon with a horn on his nose. He had a v-shaped marking.
"Whoa! Whos is that guy?!" Sora asked.
"Ah! Veedramon!" Chuumon exclaimed. "You're safe! I'm happy to see you!"
"Yes. I've been waiting for you, Chuumon. Gennai knows of something of what has transpired."
"I kind of figred he would know by now," Chuumon said.
"He looks like a pretty strong digimon," Kari said. "Is he a mega?"
"No. He's simply a champion, but his ki is pretty similar to that of a mega. He must be pretty experienced," Angewomon replied.
"Wow. That must really do a lot for a champion to accomplish something like that."
"Come inside, my friends. Digi-Destined, Gennai has been expecting you."
"But if he knew what was happening, why didn't he get away when he had the chance?" Sora asked.
"It's because that Gennai's age has advanced and he knows that the time of death draws near. All he can do is rest ehre and I can only protect him."
"What?! We have to see him then!" Kari said.
"I-I didn't know that it has become this serious," replied Chuumon.
The children and Chuumon came walking. Veedramon led them inside the hut and turned to face the resting bed of Gennai. He bows his head out of respect.
"Gennai, I have brought two of the Digi-Destined as you requested. You might remember them quite well."
"Yes, I know the girl, Sora. The other little girl must be that eighth child who helped the other seven to defeat Myotismon. Hikari is her name, isn't it?"
"Yes. I am the eighth child. My name is Hikari."
"Welcome, eighth child. It's nice to see you again, Sora. I guess I'm not looking so good, am I? Heh, well old age doesn't seem as bad as it appears. This really blows. Now, I would like to express my gratitude for saving this poor soul's life. Thank you..."
"It was nothing," Kari said. "We're willing to help whenever we can."
"Those terrible monsters have slain nearly all of the villagers," Gennai stated. "The grief weighs heavily on me. It seems that they seek the digicores. I never dreamed that the digicores would have led to the destruction of the villagers, the banishment of the four holy beasts and the creation of Spiral Mountain. Such horror has been getting out of control."
"Allow me to come straight to the point, Gennai," Sora said. "The last digicore is said to be gone. How can he actually find it?"
"I'm afraid not. My power is weakening and I can't even sense any of the four digicores. I wish I could help, but I'm just a useless old man..."
"No, then you must know that four of our digimon friends died," Kari said. "We saw it happen back in the digital world. We have to bring them back with those digicores."
"Yes. Before I came down with his sudden illness, I used the last of my power to transport the four from the death realm and straight to X's home dimension. I do recall that Etemon and Metal Garurumon attacked the digital world. Since then, Metal Garurumon's power has grown. Is it possible that he and his partner share some kind of bond, which will eventually led to a digital fusion?"
"A what?!" the two girls asked.
"Children. Please step over and hold out your crests."
"Huh, but what about the digicores?" Kari asked.
"I'm sorry to say this, but they might not even come to use afterall. My life will probably last a few more days. In that time, can you take from our foes the digicores they have already gathered? I'm afraid it is impossible. The digicores will disappear."
"I see," Sora said. "Isn't there anything we can do? Anything is better than letting them have eternal life."
"Since I've become nothing more than an immobile bed potato, if the one called Burizalor comes here, not even Veedramon would be able to defend me. By the way, you two have exceptional power through your crests. Each of you ahve special traits. In fact, you're wasting inner strength that still lies asleep. I can awaken taht for you two."
"Our crests give inner strength?" Kari asked.
"But don't you think our crest's powers have already reached their limitations?" asked Sora. "Our digimon couldn't possibly get any stronger."
Suddenly, Gennai transferred some of his energy through the two crests. Sora and Kari watched as their crests emulated twin lights of energy.
"I just hope you and your digimon will escape their clutches," said Gennai.
"Whoa! This-This is awesome!" Sora exclaimed. "Birdramon. Can you feel that?!"
"Your crest is giving me strength! I've never felt this much power!"
"Angewomon, what about you?"
"I've never felt better than ever."
"This is incredible! Thank you, Gennai. We accept your generous gift and we will not fail you," Sora stated. "Could you also do that to the other crests? I mean, wouldn't it also shorten your life doing so?"
"Don't be ridiculous. I only awakened the crest's powers. It has nothing to do with the life I have left."
"We'll bring the other crests," Kari said. "TK's crest of hope really needs to glow. He is the only one whos' crest hasn't glown and allowed Angemon to go into ultimate form."
"I know. It's also important to bring him over," Gennai said. "TK is very important for this battle. His crest's power must be awakened."
'We'll bring him and the crests over!" Sora said.
"I leave the future of Spiral Mountain and the digital universe to you then," Gennai replied.
"Chuumon. You stay here while we go and get the TK," said Kari. "Stay out of trouble."
"Becareful!"
With that said, the two children hitched a ride on their respective digimon. By summoning the hidden power of the crests, the digimon flew out towards the distance with great speed. Angewomon and Birdramon never felt faster than they already have become.
"This is incredible! I never thought the power of our crests could do this!" Sora said. "At this rate, we could bring TK and the crests in a few hours!"
"I just hope you're right, Sora," Kari replied. "For TK's sake."
********************************************************************************
Meanwhile, TK looked on as Angemon was sparring with the other digimon. Ikkakumon, Togemon and Kabuterimon were able to give the angelic warrior a good sparring. Mimi sat by and took a little nap while Joe threw some rocks across a dirt sheet. Izzy was working on some modifications through his laptop.
"Hey, TK! Come look!"
"What is it?"
"According to these sensors. There's two objects heading our direction. It's from the power of crests. It has to be Sora and Kari. Gennai must have done something rather drastic to amplify their crest's energy."
"It has to be!" TK replied. "Gennai has upped their crest powers! Hey, I see another object on the monitor screen and it doesn't appear to be moving."
"According to these sensors, it is said to be a digicore. It's close from here!" Izzy replied.
"Ah! That must be where my brother hid the digicore," TK said. "Remember when Chuumon mentioned about the fourth digicore being hidden away? My brother must have hidden it away from the village to prevent Burizalor from finding it."
"My conclusive theory was that Matt was unable to find that digicore and has gone somewhere else while thinking it wasn't there."
"Alright then, Can we burrown your radar screen? Angemon and I will bring that digicore."
"Finally, luck has turned to our side. Just make sure not to break it."
"Angemon! We've got a little errand to run. We've find the location of the last digicore."
"The last digicore? Let's go before somebody beats us there to it."
With that said, Angemon picks TK up and flies off towards the location where Matt hid the last digicore. This was quite an unexpected twist, since it will be a brother stealing from another brother.
"Good, I don't feel any dark ki around here, TK."
"That's good. I just hope I'll meet my brother and explain to him everything that has been going on. I really hope that he's doing well."
********************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back over at Burizalor's spaceship, the crew were hard at work to get Gabumon and Matt back to normal health. BlueMeramon and Myotismon looked on from the background as both Matt and Gabumon were inside rejuvenation tanks.
"Hmph. I've never thought we would treat the wounds of a traitor," Myotismon muttered. "How is he? How long until we can make him talk about where he hid the last digicore?"
"Gabumon has suffered a great deal of damage. I'd guess at least another hald of hour before he regains that full consciousness."
"Fine. I'll report this to Lord Burizalor."
As soon as Myotismon departed from the room, BlueMeramon kept his eye on the rejuvenation pank containing Gabumon. A smile grew on the flamey digimon's face.
"Even Yamato will tell where he hid the digicore after a little interrogation by Lord Burizalor."
Suddenly, Matt's crest glew and it caused a chain reaction. Gabumon quickly warp-digivolved straight to Metal Garurumon. The mega's eyes widened as he burst through the glass chamber and shoots out an ice blast that destroyed BlueMeramon. His body was easily broken down into fragmented data.
"Thank's so much!" the mega exclaimed. "It's a shame that you've underestimated my recuperative powers!"
Both Burizalor and Myotismon turned to hear the source of the explosion. They quickly ran towards the medical room desperately.
"What was that sound?!" Myotismon asked.
"It couldn't be!" Burizalor exclaimed.
They both stopped as they found a door broken down. They ran inside the medical room to find that the two rejuvenation chambers were desteroyed. Metal Garurumon has helped Matt to break out.
"Impossible! He got away!" Myotismon exclaimed.
"Hurry! Go after him!" Burizalor hissed.
"Damn that Yamato!"
Matt hid behind a wall and quickly headed off towards Burizalor's private chamber. Metal Garurumon followed his human partner and scanned the entire room. Matt's eyes widened in excitement as he gazed over the three digicores.
"There they are, Metal Garurumon! The digicores! Ha! Looks like you're plan just backfired, Burizalor! I will be eternally young forever."
Now Matt and Metal Garurumon have recovered. They have found the three digicores and will add it to their last core. But they don't realize that TK is on his way to retrieve that hidden digicore. How will the tables turn on Burizalor's group?

Yamato's Big Escape! Metal Garurumon vs Myotismon, again?!
Matt's crest glew and it caused a chain reaction. Gabumon quickly warp-digivolved straight to Metal Garurumon. The mega's eyes widened as he burst through the glass chamber and shoots out an ice blast that destroyed BlueMeramon. His body was easily broken down into fragmented data.

Both Burizalor and Myotismon turned to hear the source of the explosion. They quickly ran towards the medical room desperately.

"There they are, Metal Garurumon! The digicores! Ha! Looks like you're plan just backfired, Burizalor! I will be eternally young forever."
*********************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Angemon flew across the landscape in search for the village that contained the fourth digicore. TK had borrowed Izzy's radar and was picking up a reading over the digicore's exact location.
"Hmmm, let's see here. This radar looks really high-tech. I can't beleive Izzy inputed all of this into one small radar."
"TK! Look up ahead!"
"Whoa! If that's not a village, then I don't know what is."
"Let's go check it out."
"Right!"
Angemon flies down towards the village to check for any survivors. He was surprised to find not a single soul. TK jumps off and looks at the radar screen again.
"Wow, this is weird. I don't even see a single digimon. Maybe my brother scared them off, or they probably fled in terror."
"There is no possiblity to this."
"We have to look for that digicore. The one that my brother couldn't find."
TK turned around as the radar was pointing over towards a nearby pond. This was the same exact pond where Matt had thrown the digicore into. The boy walks over and locates the digicore's location.
"So, it's no inside these hosues? It's over towards the pond. Angemon! I think the digicore is in this lake. Why don't you go see and find out."
"I'm right on it."
The angel dives into the water below and swam to find the digicore. Suddenly, a glowing sphere catches his attention. He swims over and gasps as he found the fourth digicore. He picks it up and jumps right out of the pond.
"Yay! We got it!"
Angemon hoists TK onto his shoulder and heads out back towards the hideout to meet with the other Digi-Destined. The boy looks over at the digicore and starts to ponder to himself.
"But why was it in the pond? I guess maybe the villagers hid it there in panic. Oh well, at least we got a digicore! I can't wait to tell the others!"
*********************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Myotismon looked out into the open and couldn't find any signs of Metal Garurumon. His teeth wrenched as anger started to swell up inside the vampire digimon. Inside the ship, Burizalor was gazing out to keep a lookout for Matt's digimon.
"Where are you, Yamato?! Where did you run off to, coward?!" Myotismon exclaimed. "He couldn't have gone far! He's definitely hiding."
"Can you not find him, Myo-san?! If it turns out that our adversary has escaped, I will hold you responsible and kill you."
Matt gazed over the three digicores like a madman possessed. He turned around and heard a loud commotion from outside the ship. Metal Garurumon stood guard outside the chamber door.
"That's it, Myotismon. Just keep wasting your time looking outside. Let's see. One. Two. Three. Ah, perfect! Not only did they heal our wounds, but they've handed us three of the four digicores. We can't get away carrying all of them. Ok then. Metal Garurumon. While Myotismon's looking around the other side, you cause a distraction."
"You got it. Let's hope this works!"
Metal Garurumon peers out the door and speaks out to let his adversaries hear him out. His voice echoed throughout the ship's hallways.
"Hey! You fell for it! We're still inside the ship!"
Burizalor turned to listen to the source of the voice. He gasped and run out from the medical room. Myotismon also heard the voice and turned towards the ship. The wolf mega shoots out several missiles to cause the distraction, which Matt had referred to. Myotismon rushes back over inside the ship, which allowed the emga to shot a blast through a glass window. Matt picks up one digicore and hoists it outside the ship. The ball goes landing many kilometers from the spaceship.
"Where is he?!" Myotismon asked.
"Find him!" exclaimed Burizalor. "Ah! He couldn't be going after the digicores!
Matt grabs the last two and tosses them out through the broken window. From there, the digicores were scattered across a remote location from the ship. Matt hops onto Metal Garurumon as they rush out through the window and outside the ship.
"Now, it's our turn!" Matt cried out.
Just then, Burizalor and Myotismon came rushing inside the chamber room. However, they were too late. All three digicores were gone. Burizalor's eyes shot wide open and he felt like he were about to murder someone.
"The digicores!"
"No! Damn you, Yamato!" Myotismon exclaimed.
The vampire flies out through the window and looks out at the open. He finds no traces of Matt and his mega partner. He was growing frustrated over this.
"Wh-Where is he?! Lord Burizalor, is he inside the ship again?!"
"Look for him!"
Matt and Metal Garurumon were hiding behind a rock ledge. The boy could only smirk as he watched Myotismon make a total fool out of himself.
"If we were to fly away, Matt, Burizalor would catch up instantly."
With that said, Metal Garurumon snatches the boy and dives into a nearby pond. The wolf swam through while Matt held tightly. This was the perfect way to escape being seen and eventually recaptured by Myotismon.
"So, you not only allowed Yamato to escape but you let him take the digicores! There's no way that he could have gotten away with all three in an instant!" Burizalor stated with malice. "I will look inside the ship! You look outside- thoroughly! Including underneath! If we do not find Yamato within one hour, then you, Myo-san, shall be executed."
"Yes, sir!"
Elsewhere, a figure comes jumping out from a body of water. It was none other than Metal Garurumon. Matt came crawling out as he let out his breath. The boy managed to catch his breath and turned to face his partner.
"Ok, I think I threw those digicores around here somewhere," said Matt. "Ah! There they are! Perfect timing if I do say so myself."
"Yes, very perfect timing."
Matt walks over to the three scattered digicores. he piles them altogether and pushes them inside a bush.
"Serves you right, Burizalor! Ha! Ha! I've finally gotten your digicores! If I get the one I sank in the water by that ghost village, then I'll finally get my wish of eternal power!"
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon turned as he felt several flying ki. Matt took notice of this.
"What's wrong, buddy?"
"I sense a great power!"
"Is it, Myotismon?"
"No, it's inferior to Myotismon's! It's..."
Birdramon and Angewomon were flying over the area where Metal Garurumon watched them from down below. They didn't realize that they were being watched.
"Just you wait, guys!" Kari cried out. Once Gennai boosts your crests, then your digimon will become much stronger!"
The crew were elated with their powered up digimon as a result of Gennai drawing their powers out from their crests. This was something that they could be proud of. However, they were unable to sense Metal Garurumon's hidden location. They were so excited that they had forgotten all about Matt and his digimon.
"Ah! It's Sora and Kari!" the mega exclaimed.
"What?! They're here?! Then, my brother has to be here! Alright, let's follow them! We'll make them tell us where TK is! Luck is finally turning my way!"
With that said, Matt hops onto Metal Garurumon and they flew out to follow the two digimon.
"Whew! That was fast!" exclaimed Sora. "We're almost there!"
Metal Garurumon was catching up slowly, which would allow him to not to become detected by the two digimon easily. Matt ducked his head.
"So, they must be after the digicores as well. Well then, maybe I shoukd pay them a visit and let them know that I've beaten them to the punch! Plus, they don't even have the power to stop us! This has been one hell of a day! I'll savor this moment forever! All four digicores will be mine!"
***********************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Myotismon was becoming frantic as he turned at all directions to find the exact locations of his adversary.
"Curse that, Yamato! Whre did he go?!" the vampire cried out. "If only I still had my scouter to track him with! If I don't find him, Lord Burizalor will kill m-"
Suddenly, Myotismon felt the presence of three major powers from a different direction. Two of which belonged to Birdramon and Angewomon, while the third belonged to Metal Garurumon.
"What?! Is that him?!"
He peered out to find the flying bird and the angelic woman, along with the two children.
"No! It's the girl with that Angewomon and another child with a Birdramon! Two of the Digi-Destined?! Where are they heading off to?"
Myotismon caught the glimpse of the third power. He saw none other than Metal Garurumon and Matt.
"What?! It's Yamato and Metal Garurumon! I found him! Now, you're mine!"
With that said, Myotismon flew out and was catching up towards Metal Garurumon. Now it seemed everyone was out to gun everyone. Sora and Kari were soon going to reach over to the other children, but they were stalked by Metal Garurumon. On the other hand, Matt was being stalked by Myotismon.
"Matt! I sense a presence! A certain ki is behind us."
"I'd say that Myotismon has found us. Feh! What a nuisance!"
"Well, look on the bright side, Matt. At least, it's an opportunity to get him out of the way once and for all!"
"Yeah. He'll be too sure of himself after that last battle. He'll come at you off guard."
Back over at the hideout, the other Destined children were hanging around while waiting for TK and Angemon to return. Just then, Izzy looked up to find Birdramon and Angewomon landing.
"Hey, guys! Welcome back! So, how did everything go?!" Izzy asked.
"What are you guys doing outside?! Don't you know that you're going to be caught by Burizalor's goons?" Sora replied.
"By the way, I don't see TK. Where did he go?" Kari asked.
"Yeah, we were planning on taking him over to Gennai," said Birdramon.
"He went to find the fourth digicore. There was one on the radar. It was close to that abandoned village which Chuumon told us about," Izzy stated.
"He went to find the last digicore?" Kari said.
Suddenly, the digimon all felt a powerful presence nearing them. The children took notice to this.
"A ki! It's coming right this way!" Angewomon exclaimed.
"That must be Angemon! He and TK were pretty quick," said Izzy.
"No! It's not Angemon!" Tentomon said.
Metal Garurumon came flying down to everyone's surprise. Matt jumps off and faces off with his former friends. Mimi and Joe came rushing out. They gasped as they saw Matt.
"It's Matt!" the crew exclaimed.
"Stupid! We were so stupid!" Angewomon thought. "We were so happy about our recent power ups that we didn't even notice Metal Garurumon's presence!"
"I didn't think that the digital world had good enough technology to help you bozos get here," Matt said. "I'm quite surprised to see you again. We always happen to be bumping into each other these days. From the looks on your faces, it seems we're both after the same agenda."
"What a jerk! I can't believe he's changed!" Mimi said.
"Keep it down," Sora replied.
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon felt a nearing presence. Matt turned and saw a bright aura in the skylines. A smirk crept on his face.
"Now we have something to do before I ask you about my brother, TK. Don't you get any ideas on running away. You guys are going to learn the hard way if you pull such a crappy stunt. Now if you excuse us."
With that said, Matt and Metal Garurumon turned as they saw Myotismon landing on the ground. The Digi-Destined looked as though they had seen a ghost. Mimi was horrified since this was the same digimon that had nearly killed her family. Izzy and Joe shared the same horror.
"It's Myotismon! How?! We defeated him back on Earth!" Mimi exclaimed.
"No. This one is completely different," Palmon said.
"Is that true?" Joe asked his digimon.
"We're not lying. This guy is stronger than the one we defeated. But he certainly doesn't have a good sense of style."
"That's the one we saw at that village," Kari said. "I don't care if he's a different kind. I still share hate for a creature like that."
"You aren't the only one," replied Sora.
"Heh. You've certainly made a fool of me, Yamato," Myotismon said. "Thanks to you, Lord Burizalor has lost a great deal of faith in me. I recognize one of those shrimps back there. The girl with the Angewomon. I'm told through rumors that her digimon defeated a counterpart of mine back on Earth. She only defeated a weakling. I take it that you're onto this with these welps, Yamato? You are apart of the Digi-Destined group, am I right?"
"Don't be absurd," Matt replied. "I was only selected by choice."
"All I care about are those digicores," the vampire replied. "This time you will tell me where they are, but I hope you make me beat you within the inch of your pathetic life first."
"Just try us," the boy said.
"Fine then. Let's get started then."
With that said, Myotismon quickly transformed straight into his mega form. He was now the beastly demon known as Venom Myotismon. The children huddled as they remembered the same monster that was wrecking their home city. Kari held tightly around Angewomon.
"He digivolved straight into Venom Myotismon, but it seems that he's in complete control of his form," Tentomon said.
"You're right and his power went through the roof!" Angewomon replied.
"Ugh! Definitely not a good guy at all!" Mimi shrieked.
"Oh, yeah. He's off guard, indeed." Matt thought.
Venom Myotismon came flying straight at Metal Garurumo with tremendous speed. The beast went down and slashed at the mega. However, Metal Garurumon saw this coming and ducked under from the claw swipe. Matt looked on anxiously as Metal Garurumon sprawled on the ground. Venom Myotismon punches through the ground and nailed nothing but the earth. He looks up to find Metal Garurumon flying above. Venom Myotismon comes flying up towards his adversary.
"Ha! Ha! Did you think that you were getting away that easily?!"
Just as he was about to attack, Metal Garurumon blows some cold air into Venom Myotismon's eyes and temporarily blinds his adversary. The beast struggled to regain his vision.
Ugh! Wh-What did you do?! Damn you!"
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon comes up behind Venom Myotismon and sinks his chrome digizoid claws through his armor. The wolf jumps back and unleashes a powerful blast that manages to send Venom Myotismon flying backwards. The damage has now been done to the beast. Matt looks on with great anticipation, while the other children could only look on with great shock.
Myotismon has learned the hard way as he takes a devastating blow from Metal Garurumon! With three of the digicores captured, will he find the fourth one? He really has no idea who holds possession of the last digicore! Little brother has your digicore, Matt!

Myotismon: I swear I won't let a damn human and his pet defeat me!

TK: Hey, guys! I've brough the digicore! Say, what's with the long faces?

Yamato's Out of Control! The Brothers Face off?!
Venom Myotismon came flying straight at Metal Garurumo with tremendous speed. The beast went down and slashed at the mega. However, Metal Garurumon saw this coming and ducked under from the claw swipe. Matt looked on anxiously as Metal Garurumon sprawled on the ground. Venom Myotismon punches through the ground and nailed nothing but the earth. He looks up to find Metal Garurumon flying above. Venom Myotismon comes flying up towards his adversary.
"Ha! Ha! Did you think that you were getting away that easily?!"
Just as he was about to attack, Metal Garurumon blows some cold air into Venom Myotismon's eyes and temporarily blinds his adversary. The beast struggled to regain his vision.
"Ugh! Wh-What did you do?! Damn you!"
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon comes up behind Venom Myotismon and sinks his chrome digizoid claws through his armor. The wolf jumps back and unleashes a powerful blast that manages to send Venom Myotismon flying backwards. The damage has now been done to the beast. Matt looks on with great anticipation, while the other children could only look on with great shock.
Venom Myotismon is sent flying, however, Metal Garurumon was able to catch up towards him. The mega flies around and dives right down towards the beast's back. He clubs Venom Myotismon in the back with his tail and sends him down plunging into a lake below. Metal Garurumon charges up and shoots down a rain of powerful ki blasts from his mouth. Matt looks on with great determination as his digimon was laying waste on his adversary down in the lake. The blasts crashed down and it caused major explosions to occur as a result. The Digi-Destined looked on helplessly.
"Guys! Now's our chance to run!" Angewomon exclaimed.
"But he'll blast us out of obvilion if we run off!" Izzy cried out. "Are you insane?!"
"We have to take that chance! He's too preoccupied at the moment! Let's go!"
Angewomon grabs Kari and starts to flee. But as soon as the Digi-Destined were about to take her lead, Matt turned to see them run. He whistles over at the mega. Metal Garurumon sensed that the digimon were leading the children out of harm's way.
"Oh, no you don't!" the wolf exclaimed.
Metal Garurumon fires away shower of blasts thatr managed to startle the children. Fortunately, the blasts were way off from hurting the children of the digimon. Suddenly, Venom Myotismon came diving out from the lake and flew towards his enemy. Metal Garurumon was more then ready to finish the fight.
"So, what do we do now?! Running is definitely out of the option!" Mimi exclaimed. "This has been a really bad day."
"I should have known that Metal Garurumon doesn't let his guard down for a second," Angewomon muttered.
Venom Myotismon roares angrily as he came flying towards Metal Garurumon. The wolf kept firing blasts to slow down the beast. The two flew off towards the same land area where the Digi-Destined stood. The two megas faced off. Venom Myotismon was angrier than a mad hornet. He was beginning to lose his cool.
"Yamato! You and your pet are going to pay for this!"
"Well, I guess my pet's preemptive strike was effective," Matt replied. "Aren't you getting low on physical energy? Do you fear death's footsteps, Myotismon?"
"De-Death's?! Death's footsteps?! Bah! Ha! Don't make me laugh! I'm still more powerful than your pet digimon!"
"Oh, Myotismon! I thought you knew all about mega digimon! Don't you know that they increase their battle strength every time they recover from the brink of death? It was such a bad idea to take care of me when my partner was nearly dead. Don't you agree?"
"No! It can't be..."
"I remember that now," Kari said.
"What? What does he mean?" Joe asked.
"It's like this. That's how it was whenever War Greymon had survived a fierce battle! No wonder Metal Garurumon's ki is so high now!" Angewomon replied.
"No! No matter now great your battle strength is...You'll never defeat me in this form!"
Venom Myotismon flies towards Metal Garurumon as he prepares to attack him head-on. However, the wolf didn't take his eyes off his adversary and howled with bloody rage.
"They are a warrior race!" Matt exclaimed. "We will not lose to you!"
The two megas traded blows firecely. However, Venom Myotismon was unable to keep up with Metal Garurumon's new pace. It was just about impossible for the beast to make a single hit on the metallic mega. The Digi-Destined watched on cautiously, while Matt was just as calm as ever. Suddenly, Metal Garurumon saw an opening and plants his claws right through Venom Myotismon's armored chest. Metal Garurumon rips a chunk of flesh from out of Venom Myotismon's severed chest and takes a bite from it. The children looked on with disgusted looks on their faces, especially since Mimi was about to regurgitate.
"Ugh...Yamato...I was only following Lord Burizalor's orders...Spare me...please...Order your digimon off, please..."
"After you worked me like a slave for the past few months? Don't make me laugh, punk."
"But, we ca-can...we can work together...Together we can defeat Burizalor..."
With that said, Matt smirked and Metal Garurumon responded by blasting a massive hole through Venom Myotismon's chest. The children gasped in horror at the grotestique sight. The beast was sent flying up with loads of blooding pouring from his massive holed chest. His body goes plummeting into the lake and his body sank into the murky grave below. As soon as his body landed, it was quickly deleted from existance. Metal Garurumon turns as he faces Matt.
"If Burizalor could be defeated by teaming with the likes of you, then he wouldn't be Burizalor," Matt said.
The children hid behind their digimon. The digimon stood their ground to protect their partners. This caught Matt's attention. He saw the look of fear on his former friend's eyes. The boy simply turned and smirked.
"Now, then. My, my. Somehow, you've improved quite a bit since we met back in the digital world," Matt said while looking ober at Angewomon. "Metal Garurumon was right afterall."
"Even though she's far below a level which she could not last long against me," the mega stated.
"Now what, guys? C'mon, you were my friends. Are you willing to help an old friend and tell me where I could find my brother?"
"Well, it's pointless to ask since he's your brother," Sora said. "But will you just go away if I tell you his location?"
"Heh. A promise? Fine. As long as I know where to find my brother, I have no reason to let Metal Garurumon lay the smackdown on your digimon."
"Do you swear?!" Sora asked.
"Sora! What are you doing?! You just can't let him find TK!" Kari said.
"Trust me. I know what I'm doing."
"I hope so, cause you're going to be responsible if anything happens to TK," replied Kari.
"Ok. Just don't make me repeat myself," replied Matt. "If you're really that afraid. you better tell me before I change my mind."
"Ok, according to Izzy's satellite scouter to link towards digicores. He should be over at the right," Sora said while pointing to his scanner. Matt studied the screen and nodded his head. Izzy was about to go into a rampage, until Tentomon was able to restrain him.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," the girl muttered. "You see it, Matt? He's there."
"You're lucky. Now I'll see TK and I'll see it that he helps me grab that last digicore. Nothing makes me even happier to be reunited with my kin and to be immortal."
With that said, Matt hops onto Metal Garurumon and he speeds off into the distance. Within a matter of seconds, the mega was only seen out in the distance and he disappears.
"Whew. That was close," Mimi said while falling to her knees.
"No! You just told him about TK's exact location! He'll find and kidnap TK for sure!" Joe said. "Sora, I hope you know what you're doing."
"Sora, I can't believe you!" Kari said. "You just plain out told that jerk about TK's location! What are you thinking?"
"Don't worry. Who even said that they will find him?"
"What? Now you've lost me."
"Let's put it this way, Kari. TK is very resourceful and knows when to hide when he sees trouble. Angemon has that special ability to sense great powers before he sees them. He'll make sure TK is safe. Even if Matt finds him, he won't hurt TK."
"I guess you're right. I was just over reacting there for a minute."
"Don't worry. I know how much you care for TK."
"What?"
"You care a lot for TK. I know you've been closer to than anyone else."
"True, but we're just very good friends. I was kind of responsible for uplifting his confidence."
"So, there. You helped him and he's very thankful for that."
"I learned after looking up to my older brother."
"I definitely see you being a brave person like your brother."
"You think so?"
"Yeah. I see that you and TK might even lead your own team someday."
"I hope that's really true."
Izzy walks over to his scanner and takes a closer observation over TK's position. The boy was getting even so closer with the digicore.
"Sora. I'd better hope your right. TK is in grave danger. Then again, he and Patamon have been through grave situations and have managed to come out safely. We're counting on you for bringing us that last digicore. We can't even let Matt have a wish of immortality," Izzy thought.
"Earth to Izzy! What are you doing?"
"Um, just here about to check some email. That's all! Then I'll check on TK's status. Don't you worry about a thing."
Tentomon simply shrugged and watched Izzy start scanning for the other digicore's locations.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Angemon was getting closer towards the location of the other Digi-Destined. TK held tightly onto the digicore. He looked down at it and saw his own face reflection. He smiled and made several goofy faces.
"This is one beautiful orb. Too bad I can't play soccer with it."
"You might break your foot. This digicore is about as strong as chrome digizoid armor itself."
"Whoa. Then forget about soccer then."
"TK. Keep quiet."
"What is it?"
"Oh no! Something is coming straight towards us! It's a very powerful ki."
"Who is it?"
"No! It's Metal Garurumon!"
"Then my brother must be with him!"
"We have to hide!"
With that said, Angemon took a nosedive towards a gorge and hid behind it. He laid TK and the digicore down. Metal Garurumon came flying by and felt a powerful ki.
"Matt! There's an entity! A tremendous power straight ahead!"
"Let's check it out. I bet it's another group of minions sent to collect my head."
Angemon quickly drops his ki and this proved to be difficult for Metal Garurumon. Afterall, the mega had just begun to learn about locating power levels without the use of a scouter.
"What?! It's gone," Metal Garurumon said.
"What is this?! How could it be gone of a sudden," Matt pondered.
"But I know it was around here somewhere," the mega replied.
Angemon held TK tightly and was about to go confront the duo. Just then, the boy nodded his head and pointed up.
"Let me handle them," TK said. "You hide with the digicore."
"But.."
"Trust me. My brother wouldn't hurt me. You just stay low with the digicore. This shouldn't take long."
"Alright. Becareful, but I'm coming out if he attacks you."
"Fair enough."
"Come on out! Whoever is there, show yourself!" Matt exclaimed.
"W-Wait!"
"Huh?"
"You win, brother. I surrender myself."
"Well, well, well! If it isn't my own little brother! Hiya, TK! Whats been shaking little man?"
"I thought you might turn up."
"That's good to hear. I've been dying to see you again. I really didn't think you would make it here, but I just ran into our old friends back there."
"The others?"
"Yeah."
"You didn't lay a finger on them, did you?! You didn't hurt them?!"
"Chill out, TK. They're just fine. They don't matter to me. You're more important. I'm much in a good mood to even bother with them. So, you want to get the heck out of here and get going back to the digital world?"
"I can't leave my friends."
"They're not your friends. They don't even care for you. I'm your kin. I truly care for you. So, please, trust me on this. We're brothers, blood in and blood out."
"I see something in his hand, Matt."
"Yeah, I do, too. What's that thing in your hand, little bro?"
"Huh? Oh...this? Th-This is just a cray gizmo that Izzy made for me. Sort of like a watch."
"Man, I tell ya. Our friends come up with the wackiest plans I've ever seen. Izzy made that? What's next, a hydro-powered toaster oven? That boy has more brains that I thought."
"I didn't think I would be running into you, Matt. I don't want any association with you. Don't even force me. My answer is no! I rather you return to our side! That way we can defeat Burizalor together!"
"I see, then. I guess it's too bad that you turned my offer down. If you would ahve joined me, I would have shared that immortality wish with you. We'll both be eternally young. How sad for you to be so soft and hide behind that brat sister of Tai's. I can't wait to see Tai when he gets here. I'll be laughing when he realizes that I'll be an immortal god. Then I'll be the one that leads the Digi-Destined team! How sad, you're not even worth my time. But if you do happen to change your mind, then let me know. I'll be waiting for you, little brother."
With that said, Metal Garurumon soars off into the distance while leaving an angry TK behind. The boy wiped his forehead and looked down at Angemon.
"He's gone. Wow, I really didn't think I would have handled that," TK said. "My confidence is really starting to pick up."
"Just don't get too overconfident," Angemon replied. "Let's head on out to the others."
"Right! We've got a digicore to deliver."
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the Digi-Destined were fearing the worst for TK. They had been waiting for nearly fifteen minutes and they had heard nothing from him. Izzy took a break from looking over the scanner. Sora and Kari looked out to make sure when Angemon would return.
"Ok, I think we should jsut leave the ship ehre. It's broken and can't be used anymore," Joe said.
"Why isn't TK here yet?! I'm really worried about him," Palmon said.
"Poor kid. I feel so bad about him. He has a brother who is a total jerk. How can TK even still care for a guy like him. It doesn't make sense," Mimi muttered.
"St-Still no sign of him," Sora said.
"I hope to goddramon that he didn't get caught," Birdramon stated.
"If he did, I'm willing to bet that he'll be coming right back here," said Kari. "We just can't wait around here any longer! We have to go!"
"Hang on! We're coming!" Tk called out from above.
"There he is!" Kari exclaimed. "Angemon and TK are back!"
The children cheered as they huddled up to meet with TK Kari runs up to TK and gives him a high-five.
"Look, guys! I got it! I got it!" TK exclaimed. "Angemon and I did it ourselves."
"Yeah! You did it!" Kari replied.
"Good job, TK! We knew that we can rely on you!" Sora said. "I told you guys that he was very resourceful!"
"So, what are you guys planning to do now?" TK asked.
Look, I'll explain everything later," Sora said. "But we gotta get out of here! Fast!"
"I know! My brother found me!"
"What, he did?!"
"But I hid the digicore and he didn't catch on!"
"Are we lucky or what?!" Mimi asked. "That digicore relaly would look nice in my room."
"Let's talk about it later!" Izzy replied. "Let's get the heck out of here before Matt finds us again."
************************************************************************************
Back over at the ghost village, Metal Garurumon stood outside the lake. He waited for Matt to submerge from the lake. Matt looked around and began to swim through in search for the digicore. He doesn't realize that his own brother had taken it from under his nose.
"Heh. Heh. With the digicore I've hidden here, I'll have them all! Sorry to break it to you, Burizalor, but my reign starts now!"
Just then, Matt stopped as he looked around for the digicore. He had placed it right where several large sea clams were embedded in the sand.
"What? No, wait...It should be here..."
He looked around and began to swim deeper. He still saw nothing, but seaclams.
"It's gone! Who did this to me?!"
Suddenly, he had remembered when he confronted TK. He saw the device which the boy carried. He quickly realized that his own brother had outsmarted him through his own innocence.
"That damn sneak! I met him right in between this spot and the area where those idiots stood! But how did he find the...a wacky gizmo he says?!"
Matt shoots right out of the pond and swims over towards Metal Garurumon. The mega could tell by the look on his partner's face that something had not gone according to plan. Matt hops on Metal Garurumon and they were off towards where the other Digi-Destined were hiding out.
"Stupid little bastards! You think you can play with me like this?! They've turned my own brother into a deceiver! They will pay for this!"
As soon as Metal Garurumon arrived at the site, Matt found nobody on the site. They looked inside the cave and they only found the abandoned spaceship which the Digi-Destined had used before.
"Where are they?! Damn them! Damn them! They're gone!"
Metal Garurumon flies up towards the skylines and looks around for any signs of the children. He sensed no ki from any of the digimon.
"I can't even sense their digimon's ki, Matt!"
"Those little bastards can suppress their ki energy all the way down to zero?! We'll never find them now! Tricksters! Damn, stupid devious tricksters! Well, they're bound to go after the ones I've hidden! We'll just beat them there to it!"
************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the Digi-Destined were able to escape and find themselves a hidden gorge which was far off from where they last resided. This allowed them to be completely hidden from the enemies. The digimon returned to their rookie forms, with the exceptions of Angewomon, Birdramon and Angemon.
"H-Here! He won't be able to find us here!" TK said.
"Hmph! This rocky place is not too comfortable! We can't even use those nice, comfy beds from that ship! We should have brought that ship with us," Mimi said.
"So, what are we supposed to be your majesty?" Joe asked. "You want us to build you one?"
"So, you expect me to sleep in a cramped place like this before Tai gets here?!"
"Don't sweat it. TK, you ready to go see, Gennai?" Sora asked.
"Huh? But why me?"
"Actually, it's very important," Birdramon stated. "He requires that you come."
"What?! You're going to leave me, Izzy and Joe by ourselves here?!" Mimi asked.
"Don't get so bent out of shape, Mimi!" Palmon said. "Calm down. Just breath in and out."
"Don't worry, Mimi. It's just for a little while," said Kari.
"When he sees Gennai, there's a possibility that he will help Angemon to digivolve straight to ultimate and allow him to become as powerful as Metal Garurumon," Sora stated.
"Huh?! Really?! You think so?!" TK asked. "Wow, you hear that, Angemon? We're definitely going to have an edge against Metal Garurumon!"
With our heroes at a different location, it will be difficult for Matt and Metal Garurumon to find them. The next phase is for Sora and Kari to take TK to see Gennai. From there, they will go back and stop Metal Garurumon at all costs! Could this possibly help Angemon ultimately evolve into his ultimate form? Could he even possibly defeat Metal Garurumon?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Head Out to Gennai's! Awaken TK's Crest of Hope!
"TK, you ready to go see, Gennai?" Sora asked.
"Huh? But why me?"
"Actually, it's very important," Birdramon stated. "He requires that you come."
"What?! You're going to leave me, Izzy and Joe by ourselves here?!" Mimi asked.
"Don't get so bent out of shape, Mimi!" Palmon said. "Calm down. Just breath in and out."
"Don't worry, Mimi. It's just for a little while," said Kari.
"When he sees Gennai, there's a possibility that he will help Angemon to digivolve straight to ultimate and allow him to become as powerful as Metal Garurumon," Sora stated.
"Huh?! Really?! You think so?!" TK asked. "Wow, you hear that, Angemon? We're definitely going to have an edge against Metal Garurumon!"
With that said, the three digimon gathered up Sora, TK and Kari. They flew off while leaving behind Mimi, Joe and Izzy. But they wouldn't have to worry since they had their digimon to protect them. The trio took it easy as they settled. Izzy took this time to set up his computer and kept track of the three through their digivices.
Meanwhile, TK, Kari and Sora were transported towards Gennai's lookout by their digimon. The plan was for Gennai to bring out the potential power hidden within TK"s crest, which might enable Angemon to digivolve to ultimate. The digimon carefully kept their ki supressed so that Metal Garurumon won't sense them.
"It's going to take a long time to get there using this speed," Angewomon commented.
"But if you were to uncork any of your energy, then Metal Garurumon will pick ya'll up," Sora replied. "This is for the best."
"Yeah. It looks like he's gotten stronger again," said Birdramon. "The way it is now, we wouldn't have a chance even if we were to work together."
"You really think my crest will enable Angemon to digivolve and fight Metal Garurumon," TK asked.
"More likely, yes. Angemon has very special powers, which makes him stronger than any champion I've ever seen," said Sora. "I saw full proof of when he fought Metal Garurumon back in the digital world."
"That's right. He beat him once before," Kari said. "Don't worry about it."
"I hope."
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Matt and Metal Garurumon returned to where they hid the digicores they had taken from Burizalor. Matt sat down the ground and sighed to himself.
"If that gadget that my brother used could really detect digicores, then hiding them is completely out of the picture. In fact, they're after these three," Matt said. "I can't afford to leave them! Looks like we'll just have to wait for them to come to us."
"I was able to destroy the ship's engines, so Burizalor and his minions shouldn't be able to go anywhere."
"On the other hand, he could have radioed someone to bring scouters to find the digicores. Looks like they'll be here in about three or four days. He knows that the digicores can grant eternal life and he knows I'll be able to defeat him if we were to obtain, Metal Garurumon. I need that last digicore!"
From there, Matt would keep his eyes open and look around for an supscious activity. Metal Garurumon attuned his senses to find the energy signals of the Digi-Destined's digimon. It would be another couple of days before the arrival of the mysterious reinforcements would arrive.
***************************************************************************************
Deep within the depths of digital space, the spaceship carrying Tai and Agumon was still traveling towards the final destination: Spiral Mountain. War Greymon took these last few days to perfect his difficult gravity training.
Tai looked on from the background as War Greymon was throwing out fearsome punches in mid-air. He then follows it up with rapid kicks. The emga was training under the gravitation of 100G. It was truly an amazing sight to see a mega increase the gravity mass for a short period of time. His muscles ached and his body was about to burst, yet his power was shooting through the roof. At 100G, a human's (and digimon's) body would ahve been crushed instantly. In the four days, since leaving the digital world, War Greymon has pressed his limits without a resting period, while torturing himself to near death. Tai walks back as War Greymon cups his hands together and struggles to summon forth one of his most useful techniques.
"TER-RA...BEAM!"
The mega shoots the blast towards the other side of the ship. He then waves his hands around and instantly brought the blast back towards him. War Greymon stood and took the blasts head-on. With the smoke clearing, War Greymon stood with scratches and bruises. Tai was wide-eyed but very impressed with his partner's progress. After that desmonstration, War Greymon collapsed onto the floor. Tai knew that he wasn't supposed to be interfering with War Greymon's training and stood back. War Greymon crawls over towards the the switch button and snatches a bag of digimon medicine. He takes a bite from it and was instantly back to full health.
"Alright! Now, we can continue the training! I'm so glad we were able to snatch those from the digimon hospital. You would have really needed them."
"I know. I thought I was finished with that one. There definitely wouldn't be a point if I were to die so instantly, huh?"
"You said it. Dying would really suck."
"According to the ship's duration, looks like we'll be over at Spiral Mountain in a little more than two days."
"Cool, I just hope we're not too late."
War Greymon resumed his training, despite putting himself through a near death situation. But after eating that digi medicine, he was good as new and ready to continue his harsh training. The medicine supply was deleting rapidly. Whether he realizes it or not, Tai's partner was one of the digital universe's most powerful warriors and would gain strength just by looking upon death in the face.
With that said, another day has passed and War Greymon continued his training. The mega was now doing a head-stand push up. He strained and was using one hand. His strength was already unbelivably powerful.
"Wow! It hardly tires me out at all anymore, Tai!"
"Damn, I'm surprised myself. Alright, that should do it for training."
"Right. We've gotta rest up for the last day. I better get used to normal gravity once again."
The mega walks over and presses the gravitational decrease switch and instantly brought the mass down to normal. War Greymon notices a piece of metal on the ground and picks it up. He tosses it across and instantly phased out. He quickly appears on the other side of the ship and catches the item in a matter of seconds.
"Wow! That was just awesome, War Greymon!"
"Tai...I feel so light! Ha! It's as if I'm not even on this ship! Light as a feather! A rather strong feather," War Greymon eexclaimed while banging on his chest with one hand. "Now I can handle Mach Speed Times Ten!"
"Times Ten?! Dude, you're a freaking god!"
"Well, let's not get that far."
"So, only one day left to Spiral Mountain? Sounds reasonable. I can't wait to see my friends again and wait till they get a look at you."
"We're so going to dominate, it's not going to be funny."
"You said! We're off onto a new adventure!"
Despire what Tai thinks, he doesn't realize that his partner's new powers has surpassed even what the strongest megas are supposed to be capable of: ultimate power.
*************************************************************************************
Back on Spiral Mountain, the spaceship which belongs to Burizalor has been harbored for the last few days. Nothing important had even occurred since Matt's escape. Looking out through the scenery of the landscape, Burizalor had heard no news from Myotismon and could have cared less. He was thinking over Matt and his digimon's abilities to increase his power.
"Well, it's been four days. I can conclude that Myo-san has either fled or has been killed. I should have brought the Demon Special Corps instead. But they will be here shortly with the scouters. Fortunately, nothing dramatic has occurred over the last few days. I can also conclude that Yamato has been unable to find the last digicore. Once I have the scouters in hand, we will find him wherever he hides."
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Sora and the two children were camped out at a different location with their digimon watching over them. The kids were finsihing up on a small meal as they were planning to head out to Gennai's. It has been several days since their departure from the others.
"Is it still far?" TK asked.
"It's been almost four days," replied Kari.
"Just a little more," stated Sora. "But I'm not sure if Gennai will even last longer..."
"Then we've got to take the chance and speed up!" a newly digivolved Angewomon said. "Even Metal Garurumon wouldn't ever spot us here."
"Yeah and my brother is supposed to get here soon," Kari said.
"Right, that's it, then!" Angemon replied. "Let's go!"
The digimon picked up the children and flew out into the distance. from there, they would fly out towards the direction leading to Gennai's place.
"We'll get there in an hour at this rate!" Birdramon said. "It shouldn't be long now."
Well, their guess was wrong. Now Metal Garurumon was still waiting and concentrating all of his senses. He finally picked up their ki and made a signal to Matt. The boy smirked as he hoped onto his digimon.
"We've got them at last..."
"You're right. I sense one...two...three entities. It has to be Birdramon, Angemon and Angewomon!"
"i'd thought they would come after the digicores but they're off in a different direction. I don't know what they're scheming but we can't ket a chance slip away to take the last digicore from them!"
Metal Garurumon snatches up a digicore while Matt examined it closely.
"And if we just take one with us, they still won't hace all four even if those other punks find the digicores using that stupid gadget! let's move out!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon flies off to search for the three digimon.
"We won't let anyone stand in our way, Metal Garurumon! I'll see to that!"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the digimon were still traveling out towards Gennai's dwelling area. The children were looking on as they anticipated the moment to arrive at the stop. They were unaware of the fact that Metal Garurumon was following them.
"We're almost there, TK!" Sora said.
"Alright!"
"I truly believe that Angemon could be Metal Garurumon's match if we got Gennai to draw out his latent power from his crest," Sora thought. "But I wish I could believe it! Metal Garurumon just keeps getting stronger and stronger...with no ceiling in sight! After we boost TK's crest and have Angemon digivolve to ultimate, we're going to wait for Tai and War Greymon to get here and go at him all four of us!
Matt started laughing as he and his partner were drawing ever so closer towards the three unsuspecting digimon.
"Matt! I can definitely feel myself gaining on them!"
"Good! It shouldn't be long before I confront them!"
The children looked up ahead and gasped at the sight of a tall mountain-like structure. There laid a protected dwelling home on the top of it.
"Ah! TK, can you see it?!" Sora asked.
"Yeah! There's a tall mountain!"
"That's the one," Kari said.
Suddenly the digimon felt a disturing ki coming from behind them at full speed. Angewomon turned to face the children with a horrifed expression.
"Children! We've got company!"
"What?!"
Metal Garurumon was coming right towards the digimon at full speed ahead. The children gasped as if they had seen a ghost. Angewomon placed Sora and Kari onto Angemon along with TK.
"No way! It's Metal Garurumon and Matt! But how did they find us?!" KAri asked.
"Angemon, you take these three to Gennai while Birdramon and I buy some time!"
"Becareful, Birdramon!"
"Angewomon, you can't handle him!"
"Don't argue with me! Hurry! You must get TK's crest to reach his full potential!"
The children nodded in agreement as Angemon took off towards the mountain. This left Angewomon and Birdramon to confront Metal Garurumon. The mega stops in front of them, as Matt gave an arrogant smirk.
"Damn! What speed.." Birdramon muttered.
"I'm very surprised that you've found us," replied Angewomon.
"Don't be," Matt said. "We're made of different stuff than you. Now then, you took the digicore I hid. I want you to give it back or die now.."
"We don't know what you're talking about!" Birdramon stated.
"Heh. How amusing the dumb playing the dumb," Matt replied.
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon sensed an unknown presence and looked around his surroundings. This startled the blonde-haired boy.
"What now?"
"Hmmm. I felt something, but it suddenly dispersed."
"Oh. Say, the mountain behind you!"
"Yes! I remember now, Matt! Angemon is heading over there with the three kids."
"Including TK? Ha! So that's where you're hiding the damn digicore!"
"No! That's not true!" Angewomon growled.
Metal Garurumon quickly passes through the two digimon and heads out towards the mountain. Angewomon and Birdramon head out in attempt to stop the maniacs.
"Stop!"
Meanwhile, Angemon, TK, Sora and Kari were inside Gennai's dwelling home. The old man placed a hand around TK's crest and began to speak.
"Incredible, Takeru. Your crest has tremendous latent power. You're no ordinary Digi-Destined. You and Kari hold two of the most important crests of the bunch, dont' you forget that. You powers are valuable for the digicore's survival."
"We really need to hurry. I don't think Angewomon and Birdramon can handle Metal Garurumon for a little longer," TK said. "Please..."
Veedramon turned as he felt the approaching power heading towards the dwelling home. The dragon growled as he walked outside.
"He's here."
Metal Garurumon landed on the dwelling spot and examined it. Matt was quite surprised to find such a sacred home in the middle of nowhere.
"What is this?" Matt said. "This is amazing. Who would live in the middle of nowhere?"
"No! It's not here!" exclaimed Angewomon.
"Just listen to us! We didn't bring the digicore here!" exclaimed Birdramon.
"I'm not letting you go in," Veedramon said walking out from the hut.
"So, really? Care to explain then?" Matt snorted.
After a few moments, Gennai had finished bringing out the full potential from TK's crest. The boy looked down at his crest majesticly and gazed at it's tremendous glow.
"Wow. This is amazing," TK said.
"Will I finally digivolve into ultimate?" Angemon asked.
"We'll just have to wait and see," Kari replied.
"Huh?! Matt! I just felt a ki just instantly increase!"
"What the hell?!"
"Alright! TK's crest just got amplified and Angemon's power is growing!" Angewomon thought.
"So. Tai is here, then! Get out here, Tai!" Matt cried out.
With that said, Sora and Kari came walking out. Followed by them would be TK and Angemon. Metal Garurumon noticed a glow coming from TK's crest and gasped. He then felt Angemon's power increasing.
"What?! TK! It's you?!" Matt asked. "What did you do in there?"
"Why did Angemon's power increase suddenly?" pondered Metal Garurumon.
Suddenly, Gennai felt a disturbing presence and turned to face Chuumon with an alarmed look.
"Chuumon..Tell everyone that a great unknown power is heading to Spiral Mountain."
"What?! Um, yes sir! Listen up, everyone! Gennai says that someonse else is coming!" the mouse cried out.
"What?!" the crew exclaimed.
"Gennai's in there?!" Matt asked. "What does he sense?"
"It's true! Something's really coming to Spiral Mountain," Angewomon replied.
"It's a huge power," Metal Garurumon said.
"Then, it's got to be my brother! Tai and Agumon are coming!" Kari cheered.
"But there's something strage," Angemon stated. "It feels like there's more than one."
Matt's eyes shot wide open as he realized who the powers could have been coming from. he remembered the other hired memebers of Burizalor's forces.
"That's it then! It can't be...The Demon Special Corps! Metal Garurumon, how many of them can you pick up through your sensors?"
"I sense one. Two. Three. Four. Five of them!"
"Damn! That coward Burizalor called the Demon Special Corps! TK! You have to give us that digicore now!"
"No way! We'll never give it to you!"
"I swear that I'll never attempt to hurt you guys and I'll try to change my ways! Now do it before it's too late!"
"No! You think we're going to fall for that?!" Sora asked. "Stop playing with TK's emotions!"
"Listen, Sora! Every member of the Demon Special Corps is about as...no, they could be stronger than Metal Garurumon! And there are five of them! They'll find the digicore with their scouters and come to kill us all," Matt exclaimed.
"No! That can't be!" Kari said.
"Don't your digimon feel their power?! There's only one way! Make me and Metal Garurumon immortal. So that we can defeat them!"
"He could be telling the truth. I do sense five powers heading for Spiral Mountain," Veedramon replied.
Everyone looked on with stunned expressions on their faces. At first, they weren't sure whether to trust Matt and his digimon. However, if Veedramon were able to sense them, then they were forced to believe the boy.
"We could make Angemon and TK immortal!" Birdramon stated.
"Even if Angemon has the power, TK doesn't have enough experience to wield such a great power his digimon possesses in battle!" Metal Garurumon stated bluntly.
"But then everything we've fought for," Sora said.
"The digicores can grant three wishes," Veedramon spoke up. "I'm sure you could ahve your wish as well."
"Three?! Wow, I didn't really expect three!" TK said. "I thought it would be just one special wish overall."
"Hurry up!" Matt exclaimed. "It will be your faults if we run out of time!"
"Alright! You can follow us, but you better keep your promise to your brother. I'll see to it," Sora said.
With that said, the four children hopped onto their digimon and they were flying off into the far distancea way from Gennai's dwelling area.
"Damn! I can't believe we're doing this!" Sora muttered.
"Move as fast as you can!" Matt cried out.
Veedramon walks inside the hut and faces Gennai, who appears to be losing his life force as time goes by. Gennai coughed as he began to speak moderately.
"It looks like those kids have left already.."
"Yes," Veedramon stated. "But even if things go well, their chances are slim."
"Veedramon. I want you to go with them," Gennai replied. "You just might help them, a little bit."
"But..."
"Just don't mind an old feeable fool like myself. I'll last a little longer yet.."
"As you wish.."

With Matt reuniting with his former comrades, they will need to hurry and gather those digicores. Because, Burizalor has summoned the Demon Special Corps. It doesn't look like our heroes have a good chance at beating them, but there's always a miracle. Tai and Agumon must hurry before the Demon Corps have their way with the Digi-Destined!

The Arrival of the Demon Special Corps!
"Hurry up!" Matt exclaimed. "It will be your faults if we run out of time!"
"Alright! You can follow us, but you better keep your promise to your brother. I'll see to it," Sora said.
With that said, the four children hopped onto their digimon and they were flying off into the far distancea way from Gennai's dwelling area.
"Damn! I can't believe we're doing this!" Sora muttered.

****************************************************************************************
Deep within the orbit of the planet, five spacepods were traveling through as they journeyed down to make their landing. The Demon Special Corps were moments from arrival and a whole new game was about to begin.
Within a matter of moments, the five spacepods landed with huge impact onto the planet's surface. Burizalor took a look from outside his ship and grinned. His most loyal soldiers had made their arrival after being contacted nearly four days ago.
"The Demon Special Corps have finally arrived. That took long enough."
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the four digimon were still speeding out over the long distance away from Gennai's dwelling home. Metal Garurumon felt an undisturbing presence from a far off distance. This made Matt quite concerned and he knew that the Demon Corps could ahve arrived by now.
"Aren't we there yet?! They've already landed!" Matt exclaimed.
"There!" Sora pointed out towards the new hide out.
As soon as they arrived, Mimi, Izzy and Joe went over to greet them. However, Angemon went over and snatched the digicore.
"Hey, guys! What's up? Ah! What's Matt doing with you guys?!" Izzy asked.
"The jerk is back! I bet he forced you here!" Mimi said.
"Isn't he supposed to be on their side?!" panicked Joe.
"You guys! We don't have time to chat!" TK said. "We're taking the digicore! See ya!"
"But, wait you guys!" the crew cried out.
"Hurry up, you fools! This way!" Matt exclaimed.
The four digimon flew off while taking Metal Garurumon's lead. Mimi, Joe and Izzy hacked from the rising gust of winds.
"Gee! What was that all about?" Palmon asked.
"I don't know but something is obviously wrong with this picture," stated Tentomon. "How could they side with Matt at a time like this?"
"Well I did feel a group of overwhelming powers from a far off direction," said Gomamon. "It ain't pretty. I'm pretty sure that's what set those guys off."
"Shouldn't you guys go out there and like help them?" Mimi asked.
"Not yet. We'll go when they need us," Palmon replied.
"I'd better hope it's soon, Palmon. If these newly arrived powerhouses are disturbing even those four, then we're in deep trouble," Izzy thought.
***************************************************************************************
Later, the spacepods were soon starting to steam down after a major impact from the atmosphere. Each of the pod's door hatchets opened up. Burizalor had hopped into his hover carrier and looked out in order to greet his most powerful soldiers. One by one a soldier came walking out from the pod. The first creature was a tall, metallic carnosaur with claw-like hands and devastating jaws. The second was a short, wood-like puppet with a Pinnochio-like appearance. He carried a hammer on his back and wore a red hat and funny gloves. The third was a large, demon-like monster with crimson eyes and a squid-like ehad. he had tentacles acround his body. The fourth was a short, skeleon creature with a black mask covering over his face and a club-like staff in one hand. He also had black bat-like wings. The last figure was a moderate-sized warrior with a jester-like outfit. What made this one distinct was that he had a black-white mask with red lipstick. He had yellow clown-like shoes and a pair of swords on his back. They all wore the same armor which the invaders wore over their chests.
The five warriors leatp up with near light speed and landed on top of the ship. Burizalor gazed upon the five.
"I'm glad that you've arrived, my minions," the evil one spoke.
The metallic monster gets into a dramatic pose as he stretched one arm out and brought the other down to his chest. He then cries out his official code name.
"Metal Tyrannus!"
[Digi Analyzer: Metal Tyrannomon. Virus Ultimate-Level. Proud member of the Demon Special Corps. Trademark attacks: Giga Destroyer II and Nuclear Laser.]
The squid-like demon gets down to a knee with one arm down across his chest and the other brought into the air. He shouts out his code name.
"Marine Devilin!"
[Digi Analyzer: Marine Devimon. Virus Ultimate-Level. Member of the Demon Special Corps. Trademark attacks: Guilty Black and Neck Hanging.]
The skull monster gets down on one knee and sits on the other. he brings both arms into a bent-like position over his ehad. He cries out his official code name.
"Skull Satan!"
[Digi Analyzer: Skull Satanmon. Virus Ultimate-Level. Member of the Demon Special Corps. Trademark attacks: Nail Bone and Skull Hammer.]
The puppet monster gets down on one knee and sits on the other. He brings both arms over his head and shouts out his name.
"Puppetmon!"
[Digi Analyzer: Puppetmon. Virus Mega-Level. Proud member of the Demon Special Corps. Trademark attacks: Bullet Hammer and Puppet Pummel.]
The jester digimon twirls around and bends down. he brings his head down with his arms stretched out. He calls out his official name.
"Piedmon!"
[Digi Analyzer: Piedmon. Virus Mega-Level. Proud leader of the Demon Special Corps. Trademark Attacks: Trump Sword and Clown Trick.]
"All Together, we are...The Demon Special Corps!"
The group gets into a dramatic group shot as everything behind them goes bright and shiny. Burizalor looked at them with a dumbfounded look.
"Well, gee...that's um, great..."
"Thanks boss!"
"I've been waiting for you," the evil one replied.
"Thank you, my lord, we're flattered," Piedmon said. "So, what's the job this time?"
"That traitor, Yamato, took the digicores which rightfully belong to me. Make him suffer and his pet suffer without killing him. Bring those two back here. I want to make him confess where he hid them."
"Don't worry," Piedmon said as he pressed his scouter. "Our scouters have already spotted him. He's moving fast at a point not too far from here. I wonder who are the three with him They've got some pretty serious ki themselves."
"Three? Oh, of course! The brats and their digimon weaklings who interfered with us before. So they were in it after all. Kill them without hesitation."
"You've got it. We'll be sure to have plenty of fun with them."
"Lord Burizalor. Here are the scouters you've requested," Skull Satan said as he presented the evil one with a briefcase.
"Thank you."
"We'll see you soon then, my lord. We won't fail you like those other imcompetents. Ah, men!"
"We're here to fight and we fight together! We will come out victorious! We will punish those who get in our way! Let's win!"
With that said, the Demon Corps instantly took off to the skies. They were now heading towards the exact location of where the four digimon were fleeing.
Elsewhere, Metal Garurumon easily detected their presence and was starting to sweat bullets.
"They've started moving out, Matt!"
"Damn!"
"They're faster than I thought! Blast them!"
************************************************************************************
Deep within space, the ship carrying both Tai and Agumon was heading closer towards the orbit around Spiral Mountain planet. The intercom started going off as the computer calculated the time expectacy for landing.
"Twenty minutes until arrival on Spiral Mountain! There are twenty minutes until arrival on Spiral Mountain!"
Tai started brushing his teeth after waking up from his long sleep. Agumon rushes over and gets a snakc before he digivolves into mega. Immediately after that, Tai puts his clothes on.
"So, it's somebody more powerful than the team of Matt and Metal Garurumon?" Tai pondered. "Just make sure you're still alive, guys. I'll never forgive myself to whatever happens to you. Especially you, Kari, TK and Sora. Not to mention the others."
"Tai! We've now got ten minutes left until landing."
"Alright. You know something, buddy? I don't feel afraid. Why am I so calm?"
"Maybe because we've been anticipating for this moment since we elft the digital world. Just call it an instinct. From what I'm sensing, there's a bunch of unbelivably tough digimon out there."
"Wow. Maybe the training under the gravity you just went through did something to your brain."
"I don't know, but I'm definitely ready for this."
"Me too. This is it, buddy. There's no turning back now."
"I won't run away."
"Neither will I."
The spaceship was drawing ever so closer towards Spiral Mountain. It seemed as though time were slowing down their arrival, but it could be just over the fact that the duo were waiting for the moment to arrive. They weren't in a kind of rush.
***********************************************************************************
The four digimon had made it over to where the last two digicores were hidde. This was the exact area where Matt and Metal Garurumon hid them.
"There! The last two digicores are there!" exclaimed Matt.
The digimon landed and allowed the children to rush over to grab the digicores.
"We've got them all!" Matt cried out. "Yes! We've wo-"
Suddenly, Matt stopped as a figure phased right in front of the two digicores. It was none other than Piedmon. The four children stopped at their tracks. Their digimon were ready to attack, but then saw the other four Demon Corp members arrive.
"Hi there, Yamato. Long time, no see!" Piedmon said.
"Ack! Who are these guys?!" Kari asked.
"No doubt. Those must be those Demon jerks," TK said.
"S-So fast..I didn't even feel them coming," Angewomon said.
"Damn them! We were so close!" Matt muttered.
"Hey! Could those orbs be digicores?" Piedmon asked. "There are two others behind us. Well, then. Lord Burizalor will be so pleased! All we need are the four digicores, right? There's two and you guys have two. Heh, looks like we have them all! What a dramatic turn of events, if I do say so myself."
"Bah! Do you think I'll just hand them over to you, Piedmon?!"
"No, Yamato. I'll just have to play a little game called 'Maim and torture, Yamato.'"
"Man! Matt and Metal Garurumon were telling the truth!" Angemon thought. "We three would be no match for these monsters. Where'd they get power like this?"
"This Piedmon guys is many levels above us," Birdramon thought to herself. He would pound us to the ground. But that Puppetmon is a total shrimp. What's he doing in there?"
"Again, I ask, Yamato. Will you make it easy for us and give it up?" asked Piedmon. "It's not like you're going to get away with it if you do."
"Heh. You can sure find living and digital creatures with that scouter, but can you detect these?" Matt said.
"Sure, so what?"
"So, this!"
With that said, Matt tosses the digicore up and over into the far distance. The digicore was sent hurtling over to the other side. However, Marine Devilin was able to see this and quickly phases. The demon flies over the group and speeds out towards the digicore. He immediately snares the digicore. Matt looked on with shock as Marine Devilin returned side by side with his comrades.
"No!"
The Demon Corps laughed it up at Matt's incompetence. The Digi-Destined were overwhelmed by the demon's incredible speed. It was faster than even Metal Garurumon.
"Ha. I get it. Throw them so far that we won't be able to get them, eh? Two can play that game! It's too bad that Marine Devilin, here, is the fastest in the digital universe!"
"No! it can't be!" Matt exclaimed.
"He was...sure fast, alright," Angemon muttered.
"Three down. Only one more to go," the jester said.
"Angemon! Destroy the last one!" Matt called out.
"Yes! It's the only way!"
Angemon raises his fist as he was about to smash it with his powerful fist, which easily brought down two Devimons in the past. Puppetmon stood as a smirk came over his face. Within a matter of seconds, Angemon went to smash the digicore but found out that it disappeared from his hand. He gasped, as did the Digi-Destined.
"Hey! It's gone!" TK cried out.
Puppetmon was now in possession of the last digicore. The children were shocked by the sudden turn of events. They had two digicores and were immediately stripped away from them.
"Ah! That's impossible! We had that out of their reach!" Sora stated.
"Damn him! So, the rumors are true!" Matt muttered with intensity. "Puppetmon has manipulative marionette powers. He also has the ability to stop time itself!"
"No way! That's just impossible!" Kari said.
"Ha. We've got all four! It's officially game over for you welps," Piedmon laughed. "That means it's our turn. We haven't quite exercised for a while. So I think we'll play with you real good. Heh."
"And by play, we don't mean hide and seek or even laser tag," Skull Satan replied.
"You really didn't have to explain it, Skully," Piedmon muttered.
"Matt! Isn't there any way out of this?" Sora asked.
"Well, I'll say that it's useless for us to run. Your digimon sure showed potential when Metal Garurumon pounded them back in the digital world. You think that they can live up to their worth?"
"Yamato and his pet are mine," Piedmon ordered. "You four play a game of roshambo to kick the other guy's butts."
"Whoa, leader!" Marine Devilin hissed.
"You took the best part last time," Metal Tyrannus muttered.
"You said it! That just isn't fair!" whined Puppetmon.
"Fine, then. I'll take the digicores straight to Lord Burizalor. The final roshambo winner takes Yamato's pet and the runner-up takes the little shrimps and their welp digimon. Be sure to share nicely."
"Yes! You are simply awesome!" the corps exclaimed in unison. "RO-SHAM-BO!"
As soon as they four started their game to decide who takes Metal Garurumon, Piedmon held possession the four digicores.
"Again! ROSHAMBO! Again! ROSHAMBO! Again! Again!"
The Digi-Destined looked on with dumbfounded looks on their faces, yet Matt kept a straight, serious face. He wouldn't let these clowns get the best of him.
"Matt, couldn't we sneak off while they're at it?" TK asked.
"No, it wouldn't be wise. No matter how ridiculoud they look."
"Ugh! Damn!" Marine Devilin exclaimed. "I can't believe I lost to the shrimp!"
"You shouldn't be complaining," said Skull Satan. "I had to lose to the pea-brained lug."
It was now down to Metal Tyrannus and Puppetmon. After putting out scissors, Puppetmon realized that Metal Tyrannus put about a rock to smash his scissors.
"Alright!" the titan exclaimed. "I've got Yamato and Metal Garurumon!"
"Ugh. I've got the noodle-brainer team," Puppetmon muttered.
"Yes. Now Lord Burizalor will have eternal life!" Piedmon said.
The jester took off into the air with all four digicores and headed out towards the location of Burizalor's spaceship. TK and Angemon were about to rush over to stop him.
N-No! We can't let that happen! Angemon! After him!" TK exclaimed.
"Call him off, TK! Angemon shouldn't waste his energy," Matt replied. "It doesn't matter now. We have to concentrate on defeating these guys. Sora, get over here."
The girl walks over towards the blonde-haired boy as they began to make a game plan against the overwhelming Demon Corps.
"Huh? What's this? A pre-game huddle?" Metal Tyrannus pondered. "Well, whatever floats their vote."
"This little snot is Puppetmon," Matt explained. "Birdramon and the other two are going to fight him, because he has a low battle strength despite being a mega. But what makes his dangerous os that he uses a form of psychic abilities with his marionette strings. Tell the digimon not to let down their guard. By the way, are Tai and Agumon really not here, yet?"
"N-No. But they're on their way! They should alsmot be here now."
"He better get here soon. As much as I hate him, he could be a little help.."
"What was the point for us to come all the way out here, if we couldn't get the digicores?" TK thought. "The digital world and our world will be wiped out if we let these jerks get their way. Especially if Burizalor becomes a god. I should ahve stayed home and watched cartoons.."
"Cooooome on, dudes! Let's go!" Metal Tyrannus calls out.
"Don't keep us waiting in the cold! My wood is beginning to attract some termites!" Puppetmon replied.
"Those weaklings are in the way. Puppetmon, you clean the three pee-wees first," ordered Metal Tyrannus.
"Hmph. I always get the shaft," Puppetmon whined. "Fine, then."
"You think this a game, you arrogant morons?" Matt said. "Don't worry, these guys have enver been serious about anything."
Puppetmon walked across the battlefield and pulls out his bullet hammer. He stood his ground while Birdramon, Angewomon and Angemon got into stances.
"Remember to concentrate and don't forget the training we learned from, Leomon," Angewomon told her male counterpart.
"Right."
"Ugh. This won't be any fun at all!" whined Puppetmon. "This is going to be over before we know it."
"Alright, here we go," Birdramon said.
"Release ki energy!" the trio exclaimed.
With that said, the three started powering up with bright auras covering them. Puppetmon was taken back as he picked up their energy levels. Metal Tyrannus was picking up their ki level through his scouter. The Demon Corps were stunned to realize that the shrimps were stronger than they gave credit for.
************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Palmon, Tentomon and Gomamon felt their rising ki. Izzy was picking up several rising pwoers through his scanners.
"Whoa! Where is that coming from?!" Izzy asked.
"Palmon, what is it?"
"It's our comrades. They're powering up!" she replied. "It looks like we'll be needed afterall!"
"Gomamon! You feel that too?"
"Yeah! She's right! We have to go!"
Their crests started to glow and this allowed their digimon to evolve straight to their ultimate-level forms.
{Digimon Evolution theme plays]
"Palmon shinka! Togemon! Togemon super shinka! Lillymon!"
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakummon! Ikkakumon super shinka! Zudomon!"
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon! Kabuterimon super shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
"We don't know how ugly it might get out there, but wish us luck," Zudomon said.
"You guys better becareful!" Mimi said.
"Trust me. We'll be fine, Mimi," replied Lillymon.
"Let's move out!" Altur Kabuterimon calls out.
With that said, the three ultimates headed out towards the location of the battlefield. They left their partners behind to watch the post. They would simply have gotten in the way.
"Don't worry. We'll keep track of their status through my computer," Izzy said. "So, we really don't have to worry much."
"That's good to know," Joe said.
"Oh, Lillymon. Just be sure you whoop those creeps up! Nail it to them!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Heh. I've never seen Mimi this overzealous. I guess the battle is really getting to her head," Izzy snickered.
"It must be a chick thing," Joe stated.

Puppetmon was about to make his move and waved his hammer around. As he was about to fire away at the trio, the digimon flew out to three different directions. Puppetmon looked up as they prepared their attacks.

Puppetmon simply stood there as the attacks were plummeting down towards him.
The battle has begun against the Demon Special Corps. With the digicores captured, Piedmon plans on delivering them to Burizalor. Lillymon, Zudomon and Altur Kabuterimon ahve taken it upon themselves to save their comrades. But what tricks does Puppetmon really have up his sleeve?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Puppetmon's Psychic Strings of Doom!
Puppetmon was about to make his move and waved his hammer around. As he was about to fire away at the trio, the digimon flew out to three different directions. Puppetmon looked up as they prepared their attacks.
"Meteor Wing!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
Puppetmon simply stood there as the attacks were plummeting down towards him. Metal Tyrannus jumped out of the way and left Puppetmon to handle this situation. Within a matter of moments, Puppetmon brings his hands forth the blasts and instantly stops them. Suddenly, everything went into rather slow-motion. The blasts were stopped, which allowed Puppetmon to jump away. He goes running off into the distance and turns to bring his hands forth once again.
"Darn, brats!"
Just then, Puppetmon looked up to find that none of the trio were in the air. Somehow, they had side-stepped the mega and manuevered into a different direction.
"What?! Th-They're not there! But where are those little brats?!"
Puppetmon turned around and saw the trio fly over towards another direction. He was taken back by their tremendous flight ability.
"Oh! There they are! But, how did they get way over there?! Heh, Time to pull out all the stops!"
With that said, he pulls his hands back and brings the energy blasts forward to nail the digimon trio. They managed to escape the showering blasts.
"Ha! So, how do you like it now?!"
"Whoa! Did you see that?!" TK said. "He used some sort of magic to stop those blasts and throw them back toward our partners!"
"It wasn't magic, TK," Sora replied. "From what I know, this guy is supposed to be a puppet. It's more likely that he's using some sort of strings to control the blasts."
"Kind of like a puppet master?" Kari asked.
"Exactly, but there's absolutely no telling what kind of strings he's using to control the movement of the blasts. It's as if he were psychic. He's been able to keep track and predict every attack our digimon make."
"That's not good!" TK said.
"Are you okay, Angemon?" Angewomon asked
"Yes, but he suddenly stopped time with those strings! I barely was able to keep up with them!"
"His ability to stop time will throw us off track. We better becareful," replied Birdramon.
"I see him! Over there!" Angemon exclaimed. "Follow me!"
With tht said, the trio disappeared and this caught Puppetmon completely offguard.
"Augh! They disappeared! Time to bust out the-"
Just as he was about to summon his strings, the trio appeared around him at all sides. There was nowhere for Puppetmon to retreat or even hide. He was screwed if they had attacked him at once.
"They're so close already! It will take me too much time to use my strings! Here goes nothing! Stop!"
The mega quickly summoned his strings and they managed to wrap themselves around the three digimon unexpectedly. Time had suddenly stopped and they were unable to move. This allowed Puppetmon time to move out and find himself a hiding spot, while his strings were still in good use.
"I've gotta hide behind the rocks and attack while they're confused!"
Puppetmon goes hiding behind several rock formations and turned to see that his string effects had worn off. The trio were confused and looked around for their enemy.
"Damn! We've just lost him again!" Angemon exclaimed. "Where is he?!"
"There! Over toward those rock formations!" Birdramon cried out.
"Heh. You just feel for my trap, idiots," Puppetmon thought.
As soon as the digimon were about to attack, Puppetmon pulls out a ball of string and tosses it out towards the trio. The ball launches and spreads out as if it were a spiderweb. Much like a spiderweb, the trio were caught in it like flies and struggled to break free.
"Uh! I can't move!" Angewomon said.
"It's as if we're caught in some sort of spiderweb," muttered Birdramon. "How can we break free?!"
"It's useless. I can't even bust out any type of energy to break free," Angemon said. "TK..."
"Oh no, Angemon!"
"Whew. I thought I'd never had to use telekinesis. One of my hidden abilities. Nobody ever knew I had such a technique," Puppetmon said. "I'm not surprised it's worked on such weaklings. I wonder who they are and how did they know where I was without scouters?"
Puppetmon turned around as he was looking towards a tall tree. A devious idea crept upon the mega's mind as he was playing an attack on the three paralyzed digimon.
"Alright, now we're going to have some fun now! How about a little game of tag? Let me just find a good tagging stick."
Meanwhile, the battle was watched upon by none other than the other Demon Corp members. Metal Tyrannus flew back to his comrades and watched the battle take place.
"Wow, who would have thought of digimon like these?" Marine Devilin asked.
"No kidding. Those squirts measured over 10,000," replied Skull Satan.
"Just look at Puppetmon out there. He must be enjoying himself," said Metal Tyrannus. "This is the first time I've ever seen him use telekinesis. He's never had to use it even against other megas before."
"Beings who can raise their battle power without changing forms are quite rare these days," replied Marine Devilin.
"Yeah! You've got some interesting friends, Yamato! Why didn't you tell us that your old friends had digimon who never really needed to digivolve to gain more battle power?" Metal Tyrannus asked. "I'm really curious to know."
"Ugh, those morons!" Matt muttered. "I should have told their pathetic digimon to beware of his psychic powers and they're attacking him head-on! An amateur mistake on their parts!"
Puppetmon went over towards a tree and used his psychic strings to pull it from the ground. He ripped at it's roots and sharpened it into a gigantic toothpick-like weapon. He turns and prepares to aim it for the children.
"Heh! What's wrong? You better run, or this this thing will impale ya!"
"No! Angemon! You have to get out of there!" TK cried out.
"TK! They can't move! Puppetmon is using those psychic strings of his to paralyze them! There's nothing we can do!"
"Oh yeah there is! Look!" Kari cried out.
The children looked up to see Lillymon and Altur Kabuterimon flying out from the skylines. Then, they turned to see Zudomon emerging from a pond.
"Yay! They're here! But I don't see Mimi, Joe or Izzy," TK stated.
"We left them back," Zudomon replied.
"We couldn't risking bringing them here," Lillymon said. "So, are these the Demon creeps?"
"Yeah! That toy puppet just put our digimon into strings and they're too paralyzed to move!" Kari exclaimed.
"Psychic strings? I've heard about this technique," Altur Kabuterimon said. "They're very difficult to overcome."
"So, some more playmates?" Puppetmon asked. "Good, more fun for me then!"
"Who the heck are these guys?" Skull Satan asked.
"I'm sure they're more children here," Marine Devilin. "I was told that there were eight children spotted in the digital world. They must be the Digi-Destined which Lord Burizalor has been imforming us about."
"Well, whoever they are, this ought to be interesting," Metal Tyrannus muttered. "After I dispose of Yamato's pet, then I'll have some fun with the kiddie's digimon."
"Hey, Skull Satan, I bet you twenty hundred digi-dollars that Puppetmon kicks all their asses," Marine Devilin said.
"You're one!"
"Put me into your bet guys. I'll put my land and terrority on the line," stated Metal Tyrannus.
"I'll put my chocolate candy bars on the line!" Skull Satan replied.
"The bet is on! Let's just see the outcome of this battle. It shouldn't last any longer. It better not."
"Let's see what you punks are made of!" Puppetmon cried out. "Give me everything you got!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
"Horn Buster!"
The three attacks went crashing down on Puppetmon, but the mega managed to cancel them out with his hammer.
"Now it's my turn! Bullet Hammer!"
The mega brings out his hammer once again and shoots out multiple shots towards the three ultimates. Lillymon was fortunate enough to dodge them, but the other two were caught in the shots.
"Altur Kabuterimon! Zudomon!" the fairy digimon exclaimed.
"Ha! Ha! Tag you're it!" Puppetmon laughed. "So, I missed the little fairy, huh? Don't worry, you'll be next!"
With that said, Puppetmon flies up towards Lillymon and quickly catches her offguard with a hammer shot. Lillymon goes plummeting down after taking a devastating hammer shot to her gut. With the three arrivals put down, Puppetmon turns his attention over towards his paralyzed victims.
"Now, where was I? Oh yeah! I was going to introduce you to my little wooden friend!"
"Oh man! He put those three down quickly and easily!" Kari said. "What are we going to do?"
"C'mon, Angemon! There just has to be a miracle," TK muttered.
Puppetmon levitates down and puts his hands over the marionette-controlled tree.
"Still can't move, huh? Tell you what then, I'll take care of one of you right now. Then, I'll use a different psychic power to play with the other two…nice and slow!"
"NO! Damn! I still can't move!" Birdramon muttered.
"Angemon! Can't you do something?!" Angewomon asked.
"No…My…my nerves are all numb…"
"Ha! Playtime is over! Now you're about to go to digimon limbo!"
As soon as he said that, Puppetmon throws the tree over towards the trio. With the tree coming ever closer, Puppetmon stood laughing maniacally. TK and Kari covered their eyes as Sora looked on to see a movement of light pass through Puppetmon. The mega stood frozen. The tree stopped from beginning it's impalement to the digimon. It fell lifeless to the ground, which allowed the trio to fly down to the children.
"You guys can move again! Yay!" TK exclaimed.
"But how can you guys move? We just saw you frozen moments ago," Sora said. "Wait…I remember now…Matt is still here, which means…"
Matt walked over to a frozen Puppetmon with Metal Garurumon appearing on another side. Puppetmon's head cleanly slid off as his body fell to the ground. The children gasped as they realized that Metal Garurumon had decapitated Puppetmon. The Demon Corps were quite shocked by these turn of events. Puppetmon's head turned as it faced Matt.
"No! That's not…fair, Yamato! This game was between me and those weaklings!"
"Well, Puppetmon! Too bad that I never agreed to your rules! Remember, nothing is fair in battle!"
"Heh…I never thought I'd be killed by a stupid human and his pet like you two…It really ticks me off."
"Ah, poor Puppetmon."
With that said, Metal Garurumon shoots down a beam of ice towards Puppetmon's head and blew it away into data.
"Whew! I never thought we'd be saved by you!" Sora said. "Thank you, Matt!"
"Yeah, thanks big brother," replied TK.
"You think I did this to save you? Don't make me sick! It was just a perfect chance to do away with this pathetic excuse," Matt replied. "That's all. Nothing more."
"Ah, man! Puppetmon has been defeated! There goes my chocolate!" Skull Satan said.
"I know. What a tragedy," replied Marine Devilin.
"No kidding. Without the five of us together, our fighting pose just wouldn't look awesome," Metal Tyrannis said. "We'll just have to get Piedmon to get us to do a different pose for the four of us."
"Alright! Let's decide who is going to make spit shine out of those three runts and their digimon!" Skull Satan stated.
"Sure, but remember that I have Metal Garurumon," Metal Tyrannus said.
"ROSHAMBO!"
"Man! These guys don't know when to take things seriously," said Kari.
"We better keep our guard up. If Puppetmon was tough, then we're going to have our hands full with these guys," Sora said.
"Yes, now the real hell begins," Matt muttered.
Puppetmon has been put out commission, but who will face the other Digi-Destined? We know that Metal Garurumon takes on Metal Tyrannus. But at what price will he pay once tangling with the largest member of the Demon Corps? Tai! Agumon! You guys better hurry before there's a large number of casualities!

The Real Battle Begins! Metal Garurumon vs Metal Tyrannus!
"Ah, man! Puppetmon has been defeated! There goes my chocolate!" Skull Satan said.
"I know. What a tragedy," replied Marine Devilin.
"No kidding. Without the five of us together, our fighting pose just wouldn't look awesome," Metal Tyrannis said. "We'll just have to get Piedmon to get us to do a different pose for the four of us."
"Alright! Let's decide who is going to make spit shine out of those three runts and their digimon!" Skull Satan stated.
"Sure, but remember that I have Metal Garurumon," Metal Tyrannus said.
"ROSHAMBO!"
"Man! These guys don't know when to take things seriously," said Kari.
"We better keep our guard up. If Puppetmon was tough, then we're going to have our hands full with these guys," Sora said.
"Yes, now the real hell begins," Matt muttered.
As soon as he said that, the largest member of the Demon Corps came walking across the battlefield with an arrogant smirk on his face. He stops and faced off against Metal Garurumon.
"Okay, dude! Now it's our turn!"
"Good. I've been anticipating this ever since I got a glimpse of you. You sure do talk, but can you back it up?"
"Well, Yamato. It depends how much training your pet has been enduring. If he's managed to wipe the floor with Metalseadramon, Machinedramon and Puppetmon, then maybe he does have a chance to stand toe to toe with me. Oh, and by the way...if your five little punks want to help, let 'em rip! It's anything goes!"
"Hey! Make sure you don't kill those weaklings," Skull Satan said.
"Otherwise you're off the bowling team," replied Marine Devilin. "Got that?"
"Hey! No problem! I'll just have a little fun with 'em! Don't worry, it's Yamato's digimon that I'm really gunning for!"
"Grr. Those jerks! Are they actually mocking us?" Sora asked.
"What nerve. They actually think that they have any right to overlook us?" Angemon muttered.
Lillymon, Zudomon and Altur Kabuterimon rose to their feet as they looked over to see Metal Garurumon and Metal Tyrannus facing each other off on the battlefield.
"If Puppetmon was able to give us a hard time, I don't want to imagine how incredibly powerful Metal Tyrannus could turn out. Metal Garurumon better be on his guard," Angewomon thought.
"Alright! It's time to settle this! Demon...Special Corps! Metal Tyrannus!"
As soon as he said that, the monster stood in a rather spontaneous pose. He stood on one leg and stretched out his other leg as if he were a flamingo. The Digi-Destined looked on with dumbfounded looks on their faces. However, Matt was more than ready to go. He turned to see that Metal Garurumon was collecting an enormous amount of ki energy. The ground immediately started to shake due to the mega's rising power. The Digi-Destined jumped back as their partners shielded them from the rising winds. The ground started to cave under Metal Garurumon's feet as the power up continued. Metal Tyrannus picked up the mega's power up through his scouter and had a surprised look.
"Hey! Metal Garurumon's battle power is at 20,000 and it's still rising!" Skull Satan stated.
"Whoa, I wonder what kind of vitamins our good ol' friend has been taking," replied Marine Devilin.
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon lunges out towards his adversary with newfound speed. Metal Tyrannus couldn't even move a single muscle as the mega came flying towards him. He barely blinked as Metal Garurumon clobbered the monster across the face with a claw slash. The mega blitzes above Metal Tyrannus and bounces right back to dive down towards his head. Metal Garurumon clobbers him in the back of the head. As Metal Tyrannus fell down, Metal Garurumon came down and embedded his claws and tore through his adversary's chest armor. The wolf snares Metal Tyrannus by his leg and starts swinging him around. He throws him and watches the metal beast crashing through a small rock ledge. Metal Garurumon quickly gathers more energy through his mouth. He opens and releases a massive ice blast that shook the core of the battlefield.
"Get down! Everyone!" Angemon exclaimed.
The digimon grabbed the children and took them down. The ice blast came shooting towards the rock debris and instantly caught it in a massive explosion. The explosion was so enormous that it rose up into a mushroom-like cloud.
"It's not over yet, Metal Garurumon! Time to put the finishing touches!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon puts more power into the blast watches it explode with more power. This was the only way to really put a dent into Metal Tyrannus and prevent him from rising up. The smoke started to settle down as the digimon looked forward with surprised looks.
"Is it over?" TK asked.
"I think so. What you sense Angemon?" asked Lillymon.
"H-He did it," the angel replied.
Metal Garurumon stood his ground while panting heavily. He had used everything within his power to bring forth such a tremendous force.
"I'm amazed! He settled that in just one blow," Altur Kabuterimon said.
"I've got to admit it," Sora said. "Matt maybe a jerk, but his digimon never stops to amaze me."
"No kidding! My brother did it! He and Metal Garurumon are awesome!" TK exclaimed.
"If he knew that Metal Garurumon would have created such a massive blast, why couldn't he have sent us to the way of the dinosaurs?" asked Kari.
Even Marine Devilin and Skull Satan were amazed by the turn of events. They never knew that Metal Garurumon would have created such a massive blast from out of nowhere.
"Whoa! That was close!" Marine Devilin commented.
Suddenly, Metal Garurumon felt a rising power coming out from the smoke. Matt noticed the look off of his digimon's face and was starting to worry.
"Metal Garurumon?"
"It's not possible..."
Even the other digimon felt the same power which Metal Garurumon was picking up. It was definitely from the metal beast.
"A..A ki. He's still alive after all of that, he's still alive!" Angemon said.
"No! There's no way he could have survived..." TK muttered nervously.
As soon as the smoke cleared away, a large figure was standing amongst the heavy somg. It was definitely Metal Tyrannus. Everything was unscratched with the exception of his chest. He has scars all over his chest and his battle armor was decimated. He still sported that same confident grin.
"Hi, there."
Metal Garurumon couldn't believe his eyes. Matt was stunned beyond belief and the children were about to wet their pants.
"He survived the blast! We're screwed," Zudomon muttered.
"He isn't even wounded...in the slightest bit!" Angemon said.
"Ha. Ha. That's enough warm up for me! Now it's my turn guys."
"Ugh! Man, you know how long it's going to take to wash all of this crap from my moist skin?!" Marine Devilin asked.
"Complain all you want! At least, you got skin," muttered Skull Satan.
"This is insane! Now how are we ever going to get the digicores from these numskulls?" Sora asked.
Just then, Metal Tyrannus was gaining his second wind as he jumped up and flew over towards a weakened Metal Garurumon. Matt gasped as he watched his digimon take a massive blow to the head as a result of a knee. Metal Garurumon goes flying backwards with a busted mouth. The digimon stood their ground while watching the carnage ensuing.
Metal Tyrannus smirks as he watched his adversary go flying back from the massive blow to the mouth. The wolf managed to recover as he regained his senses. He flips backward and bounces back over towards Metal Tyrannus. The metal beast was well aware of Metal Garurumon's direct attack and put up his elbows. Metal Garurumon started clawing at Metal Tyrannus with tremendous blows. However, Metal Tyrannus was capable of blocking out every attack that Metal Garurumon makes. Matt and the other Digi-Destined watched on with anticipation.
Metal Garurumon was not landing a single hit on Metal Tyrannus. However, the metal beast was putting up an awesome display of defense against his aggressor.
"Hey! Pretty sweet!" Metal Tyrannus exclaimed. "You're better than I thought!"
Metal Tyrannus saw an opening and executes a devastating elbow shot to the back of Metal Garurumon's head. The wolf fell face-first on the ground and was apparently put out. Metal Tyrannus made sure of this as he went for another elbow drop. Metal Garurumon saw this coming and jumps away. The wolf goes soaring off into the skylines. Metal Tyrannus smirks and goes following his adversary with little effort. Metal Garurumon blitzes upwards and looks down to find Metal Tyrannus hot on his trail. The wolf fires away an ice blast, which Metal Tyrannus easily dodged.
"Speed up time!" Metal Tyrannus cried out.
With that said, Metal Tyrannus was immediately right in front of Metal Garurumon. The wolf was taken back by the monster's speed. Metal Tyrannus spins back and executes a kick sending Metal Garurumon plummeting through a neighboring lake. Metal Tyrannus looked down at the lake as he chuckled.
The Digi-Destined looked on with anticipation for the mega to rise out from the watery deep. With luck on his side, Metal Garurumon was swimming through the watery deep and plunges right through the water's surface. He goes soaring up and collides with Metal Tyrannus' chest. Metal Garurumon held him high for a short moment and pummels him with more gut shots. Suddenly, Metal Tyrannus recovers from the threshold and hoists Metal Garurumon over his head. The metal beast takes Metal Garurumon down with him sends him plummeting to the ground below. Matt jumped back from the impact and was worrying like never before. His digimon was dominating the likes of other megas, yet this ultimate was easily disposing of the wolf.
"This doesn't look good afterall, TK! He's going to be taken apart by this creep!" Kari said.
"C'mon, Metal Garurumon! You've got to get up from this!"
Metal Tyrannus stood over the deep hole he had created. Metal Garurumon was stuck headfirst through the crater. He struggled to break free but to no avail.
"Hey, you okay there, dude?"
Metal Tyrannus picks Metal Garurumon up by his legs and holds him up high as if he were a prized possession.
"You didn't die already, did you?"
With that said, Metal Garurumon came right back to life and shot a blast at Metal Tyrannus' face. The blast knocked the metal beast back and it looked like he was out unconscious. Metal Garurumon lands on his feet. His face was busted open and his body was aching like never before. He panted to himself.
"He did it?" TK pondered.
"C'mon. Just stay down. Stay down," Matt muttered.
Unfortunately, much to Matt's surprise, Metal Tyrannus hops back to his feet with that same grin. The metal beast was sporting a busted face after the pummeling he had taken.
"Heh. Alright, now that's what I'm talking about!" Metal Tyrannus exclaimed. "That's the spirit!"
The Digi-Destined looked on with surprise at the metal beast's resilience. Matt and Metal Garurumon feared for the worst. They threw everything that they had to put down this massive titan, but nothing came to close to putting him out of his comission.
"Heh. Heh. I don't think Yamato's pet has anything left in his arsenal," stated Skull Satan.
"I'll give him another minute or so until he collapses," Marine Devilin replied.
Metal Tyrannus stood up and pops his neck to relieve himself from the strain. The wolf was barely able to stand, let alone focus on his opponent.
"I'll give you bonus points for lasting this long with me, dude," Metal Tyrannus stated. "It's too bad that I have to kill you and stuff like that. I should have more fun with you instead."
"No! I never thought that his guy would be this strong!" Matt thought. "It looks like we'll be facing death's doors at any moment from now."
"Alright then! Here it comes!" Metal Tyrannus exclaimed.
"If Matt and Metal Garurumon are through, then we're next! I never thought I'd be considered deceased after not growing up to venture into adult life. This really sucks," Sora thought.
"Nothing else matters guys!" Angemon exclaimed. "We have to charge and save Metal Garurumon!"
"Right!"
"Just hang in there, big brother! Our digimon are coming to the rescue!"
Metal Garurumon takes a pounding from Metal Tyrannus. It would seem that the battle with the Demon Corps has taken a turn for the worse. Will the Digi-Destined stand their ground and help out Matt before Metal Tyrannus finishes the valiant wolf mega off? Hurry up, Tai! Your friends are desperate of your help right about now!

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Metal Tyrannus, The Unstoppable! No Refuge from his Rampage!
The Digi-Destined looked on with surprise at the metal beast's resilience. Matt and Metal Garurumon feared for the worst. They had thrown everything that they had to put down this massive titan, but nothing came to close to putting him out of his commission.
"Heh. Heh. I don't think Yamato's pet has anything left in his arsenal," stated Skull Satan.
"I'll give him another minute or so until he collapses," Marine Devilin replied.
Metal Tyrannus stood up and pops his neck to relieve himself from the strain. The wolf was barely able to stand, let alone focus on his opponent.
"I'll give you bonus points for lasting this long with me, dude," Metal Tyrannus stated. "It's too bad that I have to kill you and stuff like that. I should have more fun with you instead."
"No! I never thought that his guy would be this strong!" Matt thought. "It looks like we'll be facing death's doors at any moment from now."
"Alright then! Here it comes!" Metal Tyrannus exclaimed.
"If Matt and Metal Garurumon are through, then we're next! I never thought I'd be considered deceased after not growing up to venture into adult life. This really sucks," Sora thought.
"Nothing else matters guys!" Angemon exclaimed. "We have to charge and save Metal Garurumon!"
"Right!"
"Just hang in there, big brother! Our digimon are coming to the rescue!"
Metal Tyrannus stands on one leg and calls out for his next attack. Metal Garurumon prepared himself for the worst possible outcome from his adversary. Matt could only shudder to think how much more possible damage could his partner withstand. His thoughts were interrupted as the loud-mouthed titan started speaking.
"Alright, wolfie! Here comes the end!"
"Now! We've gotta attack him now!" Angewomon said. "Metal Garurumon doesn't have the strength left to dodge!"
"You heard her guys! This is it! We've got to save him for my brother's sakes!" TK said.
"We're on it!" they exclaimed.
Matt shielded his eyes as Metal Tyrannus opened his mouth to prepare for a devastating blast to finish off the wolf mega.
"Nuclear Laser!"
With that said, Metal Tyrannus fires out a devastating large mouth blast that shook the foundation of the battlefield. Angemon and Angewomon flew out with their other four allies. The blast came ever so closer towards Metal Garurumon. The mega watched as his life started flashing before his very own eyes. Suddenly, Metal Tyrannus was shot in the back of the head with several scattered shots. This resulted in the blast to go off course. The angels took this opportunity to push Metal Garurumon away from death's doors. The children looked on as the blast went hurtling through the nearby lake and collided with a small island. Within seconds, the island exploded into a massive explosion. The explosion shook the core of the battlefield. All of this came from a single mouth blast.
The angels laid themselves on top of Metal Garurumon to shield him from the debris. The other digimon shielded the children. The explosion was settling as did the massive smog.
"Thank you, Angemon...Angewomon," Metal Garurumon muttered. "You saved my life.."
"Wow! That's a relief! We saved Gabumon!" TK cheered.
"What the hell was that for?!" Matt exclaimed.
"Hey! Don't get all venomous towards your brother, Matt!" Sora stated. "His digimon saved your's life. If it wasn't for him, then Metal Garurumon would have been wasted!"
"Plus, don't forget that Lillymon, Zudomon, Altur Kabuterimon and Birdramon stopped that metal bully," Kari said.
"Idiots. If those two had the time to save Metal Garurumon, then why didn't they attack him instead?!" Matt asked willingly.
"Chill out, brother. You and Gabumon come first. We're here to look out for one another."
"Ugh. Sentimentality makes me puke."
As the smoke cleared, the once small island was now a massive crater in the middle of the lake. The water started pouring through the crater. The digimon peered over to the lake with disbelief.
"Th-That blast warped the planet," Birdramon thought. "Wh-What power he had.."
"What?! He's getting up!" Lillymon exclaimed.
"Doesn't surprise me. He's more than we together can handle," replied Zudomon.
Metal Tyrannus rose up to his feet and slowly dusted himself. He chuckled to himself.
"Not a bad sneak attack, little dudes. You managed to blast my head so hard that you slammed my mouth shut."
The titan turned around as he opened his bloody mouth. He was missing numerous teeth, which made him even more hideous than before. He seemed to be smiling, yet he was very enraged at what the four team group did to him.
"And just look at my teeth. It kind of makes me mad, you know..."
"Damn! We've only managed to knock out several of his mouth with our combined efforts?!" Altur Kabuterimon said. "We're screwed...royally...
"Hey, Marine Devilin! Skull Satan! Dudes! Let me do these six little shrimps in too, okay?"
"Hmph, figures," Skull Satan. "He never stops having fun."
"Fine! Do whatever you want then! But if you don't finish these weaklings off in five minutes, then no television for a week!"
"Okay! Well, it looks like I'll have to finish you runts off. I would really hate missing all of my Saturday morning cartoons."
"TK. We're going to help the others," Angemon said.
"You look after Metal Garurumon from here," replied Angewomon. "We're off!"
"Becareful!"
The angels flew off towards where the other four were standing. Metal Tyrannus was preparing to make his next attack on the six-team. Suddenly, Metal Tyrannus launched himself over at Zudomon and delivers a clothesline to take him down. Lillymon flew over to attempt a sneak-attack. However, Metal Tyrannus slaps Lillymon away with his clawed fists. The titan fades over towards Birdramon and Altur Kabuterimon. He clobbers them with a double shot laser attack. The angels were horrified at how easily the titan took down all four digimon.
"Lillymon! Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Zudomon! Birdramon!"
"I don't believe this!" Sora exclaimed. "He took them all down easily! He was just one digimon against the four of them!"
"Man, I hope Angemon and Angewomon know what they're doing," TK said.
"We have to believe in them," replied Kari.
"I'm afraid that won't be enough to save them," Matt stated. "Metal Tyrannus is leagues above our digimon. He's been clobbering megas for many years."
"But he's just an ultimate," Sora said.
"It doesn't matter. His fighting experience has allowed him to step over many boundaries. Thus, all of that experience has allowed him to increase his power. He doesn't even have to digivolve to get stronger. It happens to any digimon, but only those of true battle spirit."
"Whoa, really?" TK said. "I wonder if Angemon is made of that same battle spirit."
"He should be, but don't give your hopes high, kid."
"C'mon, Angemon! You can do it! I believe in you!" TK said in thought.
"Go get him, Angewomon!" said Kari.
"Are you ready, Angewomon?"
"As I ever will be, Angemon."
"Let's do this!"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Veedramon had departed from Gennai's to give a helping hand to the Digi-Destined in their combat against the Demon Corps. However, for some apparent reason, he was turning back towards Gennai's hideout location. Something had come across the dragon warrior's mind. He had a startling revelation of the evil one would soon endanger the dying elder.
"Forgive me earth children, but my first priority is to protect Gennai. I'm afraid I must leave this battle to you. I fear that the evil one will soon endanger the life of him."
************************************************************************************
Back on the battlefield, the angels were not doing very well from the start. Metal Tyrannus had powered up a massive power-up, which sent them both flying back.
"Are you alright, Angemon?"
"Just fine. Let's not take our eyes off of him!"
"I say we give him our best attacks!"
"You got it! Hand of Fate! Hi-ya!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
The double shot attack merged into a single blast. The blast came ever so closer towards the titan, but Metal Tyrannus easily blew it away with his breath. The blast came hurtling back to the angels. They jumped away and watched blast penetrate through the ground. Suddenly, they felt a quick surge of movement from behind. They turned and were give chops to their necks. The duo plummeted to the ground as the situation became much worse.
"Angewomon! Get up!"
"You can't lose, Angemon! You just can't! We're counting on you two before Tai gets here!"
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the set of the four digicores were scattered across the ground. There were two seperate shadows looming over them with gazing eyes. Those shadows belonged to Piedmon and Burizalor. A smile crept across the evil one's face as he kneeled in front of them. He could see his reflection from them. Piedmon nods his head in approval.
"Here are the four digicores as you requested my lord."
"Excellent, Mr. Piedmon. You brought me the digicores so quickly. You have perfect timing. I was wise to summon the Demon Special Corps afterall."
"I'm honored, Lord Burizalor."
"At last, I will have eternal life. It makes me full of unspeakable joy!"
"Lord Burizalor, let me honor you with the dance of joy."
With that said, Piedmon started putting out his hands and put up a dance, which was considered classy yet cheesy. Even Burizalor wasn't buying into the clown's dance act. He shrugged it off.
"Uh, why not save that for a later time, Mr. Piedmon?"
"Yes, you're right."
"Oh, come now. Don't tell me that I hurt your feelings. I'd never thought that my dream would become a reality. Absolute perfection is at my grasp!"
"You're right, Lord Burizalor. I don't know what came over me. This is your glorious moment."
"Now! Let us begin!"
Burizalor stood above the four digicores and was just about ready to summon forth the power from the four digicores. The very same orbs, which contained the powers of the four holy beasts would now belong to the dark overlord.
"Now even my heart is pounding! Prepare to witness the birth of the eternal ruler of two universes! Digital Cores! Give me eternal life! I request that from you!"
"Yes! The time has now arrived! Long live, Lord Burizalor! Ruler of the digital universe and future king of the human world!"
Despite what Burizalor has said, nothing has appeared to be happening. The digicores were not responding to the overlord's request. Something must be wrong. Burizalor stood with a dumbfounded look.
"So, did anything happen yet?" Piedmon asked. "Are you immortal, my lord?"
"N-No. I don't think so...But why?"
Just then, Burizalor has remembered what one of them villagers had told him. It definitely had something to do with the digicore's limitations.
"Even if you gathered all the digicores, y-you wouldn't be able to get your wish anyway. There's no guarantee that the power will come to your slimy hands..."
"Damn! That cursed coward said I wouldn't be guaranteed of such a wish?! I simply thought that he was being bitter. I should have taken that damn fool's word! He said that 'you wouldn't be able to'. That would be me! Then there must be some kind of code! A secret code that these villagers would know! A password?! Then there has to be an arrangement of the cores! We must force a native to tell us! Ugh, but we've already killed most of them...surely there must be one left."
Burizalor turned his scouter on and began to pick up several large readings.
"Th-This reading is Yamato's group of brats! P-Perhaps they know where a native might be..."
"Wait, my lord! Then I have to tell my men to stop their attack on the Chosen Children!"
"Oh, the Chosen Children? Wait, I've got another reading. Piedmon, look at Point 987463! There are two ki readings that are unmistakably from natives and a third one rapidly approaching that point. It would seem that we have found the last hiding place of our humble hosts."
"Fine. Then I'll go and force them to tell us how to grant the wish!"
"No, Mr. Piedmon. I shall do this alone. In fact, I am accustomed to dealing with these people. Mr. Piedmon, I ask you to stay and guard the digicores."
"Yes, sir. Leave it to me!"
As soon as Piedmon saluted the evil one, Burizalor hopped into his hovercraft and flew off towards the direction leading to the last refuge of the native's home. This would be towards none other than Gennai. The situation was now dire.
"Yes! No time to delay! Everybody will be kissing my feet once I become immortal!"
What everyone throughout the digital universe dreaded has become reality. Burizalor has discovered the existance of Gennai. At nearly unimaginable speed, his hover unit was homing in on his target. He would get there no longer than an hour.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the battlefield, the fight wasn't looking very well for the angel duo. The children could only look on with horror as the unconscious digimon reverted back to their rookie forms. It was down to Angemon and Angewomon to take the metallic titan.
"Look out above you, Angemon!"
"Angewomon! Behind you!"
The duo turned as Metal Tyrannus was shooting down a massive shower of ki blasts, which penetrated through the ground effortlessly. They dodged every single shots. Metal Tyrannus continued his relentless attack.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Take that, and that! You two can't escape me!"
"Angewomon! Look out!"
"Damn! These shoots are difficult to dodge!"
"Hey! I'm over here, dummies!"
They turned to see Metal Tyrannus appearing in front of them. The titan delivers a double fist attack, which sent them both plummeting back. The angel duo landed face first on the dirt.
"Oh no! They're too weakened from those blows!" Sora exclaimed. "We have to call them off until Tai gets here."
"No! We're not giving up that easily. Right, Kari?"
"You got it."
"No! They've had enough! Call them off," Sora ordered.
"No. We won't be defeated..." Angemon muttered under his breath.
"That's right. I'm the partner of Hikari Kamiya...A Kamiya never quits.."
"so, you two still have enough strength to trash talk?" Metal Tyrannus asked. "I don't know what part of the digital galazy you guys came from, but you've got more than I thought."
"We won't let you defeat us!" exclaimed TK and Kari. "Attack now, Angemon! Angewomon!"
"Wa! Ha! Ha! Tough luck that your pretty pets had to go against me!"
With that said, the angel duo came charing over at Metal Tyrannus. They went for a double team attack, but the titan easily saw them coming. Metal Tyrannus jumps up over them. Everything seemed to be going at rather slow motion. The other digimon looked on in horror at what was now about to take place. With great agility, the titan splits his legs apart and executes devastating kicks to the duo's side necks. There were sudden snaps heard as the children looked on with terror. The angel duo plummeted to the ground. They reverted back to Patamon and Gatomon. Their necks were literally broken and they could barely manage to stand.
"Patamon!"
"Gatomon!"
Sora covered her eyes in disbelief at the grotesque sight. Matt could barely stand to look, yet managed to keep his eyes on Metal Tyrannus. TK and Kari rushed over to pull their digimon from the battlefield.
"TK! Kari! No!" Sora exclaimed.
Metal Tyrannus didn't bother with the children as he started to flex his muscled machine parts. Skull Satan picked up the official reading of the two fallen digimon.
"Those two runts are just about gone. No energy left, mate" Skull Satan said.
"Yeah. Broken necks will do that," Marine Devilin replied.
"Patamon! Please, speak to me buddy."
"They're barely alive, TK. I don't know how much longer they're going to hold up."
"I can't lose you again, Patamon! I just can't!"
"And here I thought they were getting better. I had high hopes for those two," Matt muttered.
"Well, earth scum, that was about as boring as it gets," Metal Tyrannus said. "Lord Burizalor had to call us all the way out here for this crap? Oh well, I guess it's the nice time to kill them now."
Suddenly, Metal Tyrannus felt an unknown ki source and looked up towards the skylines in curiosity. The other two Demon members turned to see a comet-like object landing onto the surface.
"What's that?!" Skull Satan asked.
"It's a ship!"
"What is this, tourist season?!"
The Demon Corps were very curious at this unexpected event. Who would arrive at such a moment. Even the digimon were quite fond of this.
"It's a ship," Matt muttered. "Could it be him?"
"And just what kind of damn spaceship was that?" pondered Metal Tyrannus.
"It's them," Biyomon muttered. "Agumon..."
"What?! My brother is here?!" Kari asked. "You guys! It's my brother and Agumon! They're finally here!"
"Tai? Alright, it's about time," Sora said with delight.
The ship landed and it's entrance door started to open up. Inside, Tai grabbed the bag of digimon medicine and placed it in his pant pockets. War Greymon was standing at the door's entrance with a determined look. He was ready for anything, especially an assault from the Demon Corps. Tai came walking outside in curiosity.
"Touchdown! We are now on Spiral Mountain planet!"
"So this is Spiral Mountain? Wow, that mountain reminds me of those spiral Popsicles I used to snack on. I could go for now right about now."
"Tai? Let's stick to our main objective."
"Sorry, I just get a tad bit hungry at times like these. We have to find them quickly, War Greymon. Sora. Kari. TK. Mimi. Joe. Izzy. We can't forget everyone else who were harmed by Burizalor's goon squad."
"I'm picking up several energy signals in one direction. I can't believe this place if full of guys with enormous kis. Patamon, Gatomon, Biyomon and the others are almost dead! The children are just about to meet death's doors soon. There's three huge ki close to here.."
"Alright then, we're moving out to that direction."
"The one with the three large ki?"
"Yeah, that's it. That's where my sister and the others are! Don't worry guys, we're on our way!"
Now Tai and War Greymon have finally arrived on Spiral Mountain! Becareful guys, you've got your hands full with this group of bad hanchos! Save your friends before Metal Tyrannus gets to them first!

Sora: What kind of a chance does War Greymon have against him?! He's literally unbeatable, Tai!
Tai: Just you wait and see.
Metal Tyrannus: Another victim? Fine with me. Maybe you'll provide me with some decent entertainment, dude.
Matt: Could it be true?! Is War Greymon the next digital warrior to become the chosen fused being after 10,000 digital millenias?! Does he and Tai share the common bond to pull off such a miracle?!

Taichi and War Greymon Arrive! War Greymon, the next Legendary Warrior?!
The ship landed and it's entrance door started to open up. Inside, Tai grabbed the bag of digimon medicine and placed it in his pant pockets. War Greymon was standing at the door's entrance with a determined look. He was ready for anything, even an assault from the Demon Corps. Tai came walking outside in curiosity.
"Touchdown! We are now on Spiral Mountain planet!"
"So this is Spiral Mountain? Wow, that mountain reminds me of those spiral popsicles I used to snack on. I could go for now right about now."
"Tai? Let's stick to our main objective."
"Sorry, I just get a tad bit hungry at times like these. We have to find them quickly, War Greymon. Sora. Kari. TK. Mimi. Joe. Izzy. We can't forget veryone else who were harmed by Burizalor's goon squad."
"I'm picking up several energy signals in one direction. I can't believe this place if full of guys with enormous kis. Patamon, Gatomon, Biyomon and the others are almost dead! The children are just about to meet death's doors soon. There's three huge ki close to here.."
"Alright then, we're moving out to that direction."
"The one with the three large ki?"
"Yeah, that's it. That's where my sister and the others are! Don't worry guys, we're on our way!"
With that said, War Greymon picks Tai under his shoulder and speeds off into the distance. By the time the Demon Corps could even blink an eye, a comet-like beam sped right past them effortlessly. Marine Devilin and Skull Satan were taken by complete surprise by this incredible force. It traveled even faster than the perhaps light itself. Even Metal Tyrannus was caught by surprise as the mega reappears in front of him. The Digi-Destined looked across and it looked like if they had seen a ghost.
Matt looked across while attending to Metal Garurumon's wounds. The blonde-haired boy's blood started to boil at the sight of his rival.
"Oh good, Tai and War Greymon have finally come..."
"Look! It's Tai!" Sora said.
"Hey, Tai! It's good to see ya, again!" TK cheered.
"Hey, guys!" Tai said. "Sorry, we're late. It's good to know that you're still on your feet, but looks like the little guys took quite a whooping. Don't worry, I've got some digimon medicine that will fix them right up."
"Good, now Patamon can get all better again!"
"It's good to see you, big brother."
"Same to you. I'm proud of the way you managed to take care of yourselves these past few days."
"It's been tough," Kari replied.
"Feed this to Gatomon," Tai said while handing his little sister a medicine capsule. "Here, TK! Catch!"
The goggle head leader tossed the child another capsule. TK caught it and quickly fed it to Patamon, who was looking worse for wear.
"Sora."
"Tai."
"I'm glad that you're doing fine. I'd like to thank you for taking care of my sister and the others."
"I'm always here when you need me."
"I appreciate it. Here. Feed Biyomon this. I brought some more in case the other digimon need it. Feed some of these to Palmon, Gomamon and Tentomon. Speaking of which where are Mimi, Izzy and Joe?"
"They're still over at our campsite. Looks like we'll have to find them later, but that's if we get through these guys."
"Oh these guys? Who are they?"
"The Demon Corps sent by Burizalor."
"I see."
"Hey! You! Where the hell did you two come from?!" Metal Tyrannus cried out. "I couldn't even detect your arrival!"
"Hmmm. I must say that this new digimon is pretty fast," Skull Satan remarked. "He's even faster than you, Devilin."
"Yeah, right! You see. He has a low battle power."
Just then, the Demon Corps noticed that the digimon were recovering after swallowing the capsules. They weren't expecting such a medical pill to quickly heal their wounds.
"Huh?! But that's not possible! I just pounded those two runts into next week!" Metal Tyrannus exclaimed.
"But that Patamon and Gatomon were practically dead!" Skull Satan said.
"This is quite unexpected. I wonder how much advanced the digital world's form of medication has become?" Marine Devilin pondered.
"You guys have been through a lot," Tai said. "The digimon have really proven themselves."
"But we couldn't do anything," TK said. "We were losing to these guys!"
"Hey, I see that Metal Garurumon doesn't look good either," Tai stated.
"Yeah! That guy was just too strong! Even though he was an ultimate, he easily took apart a mega!" Palmon said.
"You would be crazy if you sent War Greymon out there!" Tentomon said.
"Can't you see how powerful they are?" asked TK.
"It doesn't matter how much better we get...they'll just beat us down again," stated Patamon.
"N-Not even you can beat them, War Greymon," Gatomon replied. "They're just beyond our imagination."
"Not to mention the fact that Metal Garurumon was helpless as well," Gomamon said, "You must seriously been smoking something if you send War Greymon out there and I'm not being a cynical for once."
"Why was he fighting them? Weren't they in league with each other?" War Greymon asked.
"They were at first..." Sora said, but she stopped as War Greymon placed a hand over her forehead.
"It's okay, Sora. You don't have to talk," Tai said.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"War Greymon will feel your thoughts."
"Feel my thoughts. This is getting weird.."
"It's okay. Just let him feel your mind."
Sora kept her mouth shut as War Greymon began to channel through her thoughts and quickly reprised over the past events. The mega pulled his arm away and nodded.
"Now I know everything. I saw how my fellow digimon's powers got higher than before and the fact that Mimi, Izzy and Joe are safe," War Greymon stated. "The digicores that got taken away. Not to mention Burizalor and those other guys and Matt too..."
"Whoa! He read your exact thoughts?!" TK asked.
"He sure did."
"That's amazing!" Kari said. "How could you tell?"
"I've been asking myself that, too," War Greymon said. "I just had a feeling that it'd work."
"I'll say. It doesn't look like Matt has turned over a new leaf," said Tai. "He managed to save your lives this time."
"Whoa, hold the phone! Where did you even get this power?!" Gatomon asked.
"Alright, there's only one capsule left," Tai muttered. "Hey, Matt! Catch!"
Matt looked over and caught the capsule. He examined it and looked over at Tai.
"Feed Metal Garurumon that capsule! Make sure that he eats it!"
"You gave him the last capsule?!" Sora asked. "Are you nuts?"
Matt examines the capsule more and feeds it to his partner. Metal Garurumon swallows it and quickly feels a resurgence of energy entering his body. The mega jumps up onto his feet and was good as new.
"Whoa! Are you feeling any better, buddy?"
"I'm good as new! We should really thank Tai for that."
"Thank him?"
"I'll say it again War Greymon, you're insane!" Gatomon said. "I guess you want him fighting alongside us, but..."
"No, that's not it," the mega replied. "I want to finish the fight we started back in the digital world."
"A finish?"
"I'll take care of these guys by myself."
"You don't know what you're saying!" Sora exclaimed.
"Wa-War Greymon! Don't do it!" Kari cried out.
"You got to call him off. They'll tear him apart!" said TK.
Tai simply grinned while looking towards the battlefield. This was a smile of self-determination. Sora took a glimpse of Tai and was worrying for his digimon's safety.
"You must be up to something, Tai. You wouldn't be smiling if something wasn't on your mind," muttered Sora.
War Greymon steps out to the battlefield and faces off against the ruthless Metal Tyrannus. The titan stood his ground and was astonished by the mega.
"You are one weird dude. So you're going to take care of us? You alone?"
"W-We've gotta stop him!" TK said.
"I know that he and War Greymon are pretty reckless but this is beyond insanity!" Sora stated. "It's hopeless!"
"Oh, Tai. Please let War Greymon by alright," Kari muttered in prayer.
"All I ask from you is to make this fight interesting," said Metal Tyrannus. "Hey, guys! What's this fool's power reading?!"
"This fool is pretty well-put," said Marine Devilin. "He's a lowly 5000."
"Hmph. Another letdown," the titan replied. "All bluff then, huh?"
"Something is odd here, Matt?"
"What is it, Metal Garurumon?"
"I wonder why War Greymon is so calm? Doesn't he realize his opponent's abilities?"
"You mean he's not even expressing anger?"
Suddenly, Matt had just realized a startling revelation. He looked across and quickly shook the cobwebs out from his ehad. He had remembered something.
"Ah! No...Could he actually be..."
War Greymon started smiling, which didn't set well for Metal Tyrannus. The titan was astonished by his adversary's look of self-determination.
"Huh? This dude has really lost it. He's about to get killed...and hes smiling?"
"You can't win. I can tell that now," the mega replied to the titan's words.
Metal Tyrannus was stunned to hear such a response from the mega. He busted into laughter.
"Ha! ha! Ha! Did you guys hear that?! He thinks he can bluff his way outta his one!"
"Something is really strange here," Gatomon stated. "War Greymon has never bluffed like this before."
"Doesn't he see how powerful this guy really is?" Biyomon pondered.
"Could it be that...No it's impossible!" Matt thought. "War Greymon...that no good, amateur...He could never become a legendary digital warrior!"
"I can't handle anymore of this punk's jokes," Metal Tyrannus said. "It's time to put up or shut up the hell up!"
"But they said that a united human and digimon ultimately become one warrior and that individual appears once in a thousand digital years. That's about nearly eons in the human realm. I've always shrugged it off as just a stupid fairytale and I was sure that Metal Garurumon and myself would earn that privilege. We were supposed that have that power!"
Metal Tyrannus was prepared to make his next attack upon War Greymon as he did another one of his trademark poses.
"Demon Special Corps! Metal Tyrannus!"
Tai looked on with a dumbfounded look.
"Attack!"
The titan came flying towards War Greymon at a rate faster than light. As soon as Metal Tyrannus threw out a punch, War Greymon quickly phased out. The monster had a stunned expression as he only punched air. He clearly had the mega but he had missed.
"Huh?! What?! Where?!"
"H-He disappeared!" TK exclaimed.
"I don't see him anywhere!" Gatomon replied.
"Where did he go, Tai?" Sora asked.
"Oh here and there."
"It's not funny, Tai! Where the heck is he?"
Metal Garurumon turned around towards the hill where the other two villians were standing. His eye glowed. He was able to pick up War Greymon's movements.
"I don't get this," Skull Satan said. "Where did he go?"
"He just simply vanished," replied Marine Devilin.
Suddenly, the two picked up a very high energy signal from behind. They both turned as they saw what they didn't expect to see. It was none other than War Greymon himself. They both jumped back and faced off against the mega.
"That blasted fool!" Marine Devilin exclaimed.
"When did he get here?!" Skull Satan asked.
"You two must be more of Burizalor's creeps," stated War Greymon.
"Us, creeps?!" the skeleton exclaimed.
"You won't have to get hurt if you leave now," the mega replied.
"Oh, yeah right! Like we'll ever do that and start helping rhe elderly!" Skull Satan cried out.
"Give us a break! We're bad to the bone!" Marine Devilin replied.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that, boys. If you won't change your ways, then I'll have to knock some sense out of you later."
With that said, War Greymon hovers towards the battlefield where he faced off against Metal Tyrannus once again.
"You think you're real fast, huh? Well, heh. You can't win just by running away from me."
"Call me crazy but it looked like Metal Garurumon knew where War Greymon was...Did he see something?" Gatomon said in thought.
"Well then, I guess I'll just have to show you my ultimate attack," said Metal Tyrannus. "I may as well warn you, you can't run away from this! Because a whole big wide circle around me gets blown into ashes!"
War Greymon stood his ground, while everyone else watched. Metal Garurumon was feeling the tension, which was about to occur on the battlefield.
"Now we'll find out..." Metal Garurumon thought.
"You punks are going bye bye! GIGA-"
The digimon started to panic, which didn't suite well for the children. Tai simply stood there as he gazed at the scene. Matt and Metal Garurumon waited for who would make their move first.
"DESTROYER- II-"
Suddenly, the titan felt an unpleasant pain across his chest and his eyes bulged out from his head. He stood and looked down to find War Greymon with an elbow across the titan's exposed chest. War Greymon stepped away and left Metal Tyrannus staggering around in pain.
"Sorry about that, but my digimon saw an opening that screamed out attack. And so, he did," Tai stated.
The Digi-Destined were stunned beyond belief, even the digimon were shocked by the sudden turn of events. War Greymon easily took down a monster which gave everyone else a hard time. It was all from just one simple elbow blow to the gut. Metal Tyrannus fell to the ground unconscious. Marine Devilin and Skull Satan were shocked. Metal Tyrannus was put down in one blow.
"Did War Greymon just beat him?" Kari asked.
"N-No way. It can't be possible," Sora muttered.
"All he gave him was a simple elbow shot to the gut," said Gatomon.
"Especially if he caught him off guard," Sora thought. "That guy never even flinched at any of Metal Garurumon's attacks...and that was just one blow.."
"That attack shouldn't have done anything!" Skull Satan said.
"It must be some sort of trick!" stated Marine Devilin.
"Damn him!" Matt muttered. "So, what's the verdict, Metal Garurumon?"
"It was no trick not was it a technique. It was just as we saw. It was just one tremendous blow."
"Then he's utterly surpassed a mega digimon's strength! He's a completely different warrior from the one that Metal Garurumon fought in the digital world...What kind of training did he do? Is the legend true? Is he the one? The chosen digital warrior with a united human and digimon soul?"
Is Matt right? Has the legend come into being? Does Tai even realize that he and War Greymon may unite into the ultimate fighting machine? These answers will soon into revelation.

The Call of the Storm! Marine Devilin and Skull Satan Tag Team!
The Digi-Destined were stunned beyond belief, even the digimon were shocked by the sudden turn of events. War Greymon easily took down a monster, which gave everyone else a hard time. It was all from just one simple elbow blow to the gut. Metal Tyrannus fell to the ground unconscious. Marine Devilin and Skull Satan were shocked to see that their has been defeated by one blow.
"Did War Greymon just beat him?" Kari asked.
"N-No way. It can't be possible," Sora muttered.
"All he gave him was a simple elbow shot to the gut," said Gatomon.
"Especially if he caught him off guard," Sora thought. "That guy never even flinched at any of Metal Garurumon's attacks...and that was just one blow.."
"That attack shouldn't have done anything!" Skull Satan said.
"It must be some sort of trick!" stated Marine Devilin.
"Damn him!" Matt muttered. "So, what's the verdict, Metal Garurumon?"
"It was no trick not was it a technique. It was just as we saw. It was just one tremendous blow."
"Then he's utterly surpassed a mega digimon's strength! He's a completely different warrior from the one that Metal Garurumon fought in the digital world...What kind of training did he do? Is the legend true? Is he the one? The chosen digital warrior with a united human and digimon soul?"
War Greymon looked across from the battlefield and faced the last two Demon Corp minions. Marine Devilin and Skull Satan didn't take their eye off of the powerful mega. They were stunned to realize that such a warrior could have taken care of Metal Tyrannus with tremendous ease. Tai spoke up, which quickly shunned the silence.
"Hey, dudes! What now? So, are you going to go back to your own planet? Or does War Greymon have to lay the smack down on you two?"
"You hear that, Devilin? This idiot's talkin' in his sleep again," Skull Satan said.
"He seems to be under the impression that he bested Metal Tyrannus by his own power," replied Marine Devilin. "When it must have been only the combination of freakish luck and Tyrannus letting his guard down."
The Digi-Destined kept their eye on the battlefield.
"I think Tai knows something," Sora stated. "He and War Greymon are obviously up to something!"
"You know what, Devilin? I'm right. It had to be! His power readings didn't change at all. Well, it looks like we, the Demon Special Corps, will wise this chump up!"
"Yes! He will pay for attempting to tarnish our good name!"
"Let's go! Attack!" the two exclaimed in unison.
"It looks like they won't be leaving anytime soon, War Greymon," Tai said.
"Fine. Just more fun for me then."
Matt clenched his fists and he watched the two Demon Corp members fly out quickly towards the battlefield. Metal Garurumon didn't take his eye off of the three.
"Let's all over," the mega thought.
Marine Devilin and Skull Satan were flying around War Greymon like jets. But every time they circled him, War Greymon would just stand there as if nothing was happening. The two Demon Corps were confused. They had no idea why he wasn't running away. Normal digimon would run for their lives if they were being chased by the duo.
"Hey, Devilin! What the hell is the deal?!" cried Skull Satan, "He doesn't seem to run like a scared puppy. He's just standing there!"
"I don't know. I say we confront this no good punk!"
The two Demon Corps members flew down and confronted War Greymon. They stood in front of him with angry looks on their faces. It looks as though they really want to pummel him to a bloody pulp. Skull Satan stepped up to the plate and pointed to War Greymon.
"Alright, buster! We got you cornered! Now make a move!" Skull Satan exclaimed.
With a sudden rush of super speed, War Greymon punches Skull Satan in the face. The evil skeleton screamed in pain and fell backwards. He covered his face. Marine Devilin gasped with shock in his eyes. He went over to check on his partner.
"Skull Satan! Are you okay? Where does it hurt? Are you going to be ok? You need me to get you some medical equip-"
"Devilin. Just...shut...up."
Skull Satan looked down at his face and there was large imprint on his face. He growled and screamed out. War Greymon just stood there chuckling.
"You damn cheap shot! You nailed me in the face!"
"Oh. Well you said attack. I thought you were ready to go at it?"
"Yes. I was...ugh! Get him, Devilin!"
The two evil warriors went to attack him at different directions. Skull Satan went for a kick from the right angle and Marine Devilin went for a punch from the left angle. But War Greymon was able to block both head on attacks with his claws. They had shocked expressions on their faces. War Greymon put his two claws together and there was a sudden earthquake. He then released a sudden wave of powerful energy at the two Demon Corps members.
This energy was able to send them both flying back. But they were able to catch themselves and land on their feet. They never seen a fighter quite like this. Skull Satan was the first to speak after a few moments.
"Whoa. No way."
"That poser! He thinks he just do that to us!"
Tai watched on with approval. Matt, Kari, Sora and T.K. could hardly believe it. The digimon would hardly believe it. War Greymon had just taken out Metal Tyrannus with ease, when they had trouble beating him. Now he was taking care of the rest of the Demon Corps. They could easily tell that War Greymon has reached a new level of power.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing. War Greymon is taking them both on with ease," Kari said, "He was able to take out Metal Tyrannus when we had trouble."
T.K. walked over to her.
"Tai and War Greymon have this one under control. I don't think we have to worry anymore," T.K. said trying to ease Kari.
"War Greymon? Incredible!" exclaimed Metal Garurumon, "He's not even trying. Those two weren't able to lay a hand on him."
"Tai, War Greymon must have trained really hard to achieve this speed and power," Matt said to his rival.
"Yep. Thanks to the gravity chamber. It trained him well."
"Sure."
Marine Devilin and Skull Satan flew up to avoid any attacks from War Greymon. They each activated their scouters to read his new power level.
"Hey, lets take a reading on his power level," said Skull Satan, "Then we'll know where we stand."
"Well, what does it say?"
"9,000."
"Yeah right."
"Hey, they don't even know," said Tai, "They don't even know that he's hiding his true power level."
"What you mean, he's been toying with these guys all along?!"
"Mmmhmm."
"Unbelievable," Matt said.
"War Greymon has got to be hiding his power level. Otherwise, he would of easily taken these goofballs out with ease," Metal Garurumon thought to himself, "There must something we don't know about that Tai is hiding."
War Greymon stood there with a determined look on his face. He looked up at Marine Devilin and Skull Satan, who both were planning their next move.
**********************************************************************************
Meanwhile just many miles away from the battlefield, there was a powerful evil energy heading towards the home of Gennai. There was a flying air pod with a familiar evil tyrant. Burizalor was almost near Gennai's home in the lake. He smiled with delight at the thought of being immortal.
"Ahh. I'm just moments away from reaching the status of immortality. I can just feel it. It feels so nice to hear the name 'Lord Burizalor' or just plain 'God'. This is so exciting. I can't wait to see Gennai forcing on his knees and kissing the ground I walk on. And after I get done with him, I shall crush those human vermin! Beware Digi-Destined! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
He continued his journey towards the area where Gennai was hiding.
**********************************************************************************
Gennai was still awaiting the arrival of Burizalor. He was going to sucker the evil tyrant. He knew he could outsmart Burizalor but doesn't have the strength to beat him with his old age. But just as Gennai was going to make a move, he was suddenly stopped. It was Veedramon.
"Veedramon. What are you doing here?"
"I came here to make sure that Burizalor will do no harm to you."
"I don't need your help."
"Gennai. You're just as stubborn as ever. I came here to help, whether you like it or not. Besides, you know very well that if you die then the Digital Cores will be no more and the Digital World will be unbalanced. Plus the four Holy Beasts have been sealed away by the evil one, there's nothing else to do."
"Yes. But here we can outsmart Burizalor. His brain is too overfed by his ego. He has lost all logic."
"That is true. But if he makes one move on you, I will be forced to step in."
"Do what you must. But I don't plan on having any violence involved whatsoever, Veedramon."
The two digimon guardians waited for Burizalor to arrive knowing that his evil presence would soon come.
*******************************************
Skull Satan and Marine Devilin flew down and were ready to attack War Greymon.
"Alright Devilin! Lets do this thing!"
"Gotcha!"
"Heres the plan. I'll throw in a distraction and you seak him up from behind!"
"Right! I can't wait to get this over with. This guy is really getting on my nerves."
"I know what you mean. Heh. Heh. Lets him take a shot like this."
War Greymon looked up to see Skull Satan powering up and holding out his staff. A ball of energy was forming from the staff and was being directed at War Greymon.
"Take this hot shot! Nail Bone!"
"Nicely done," Marine Devilin commented.
The powerful energy attack went flying down at War Greymon. The Digi-Destined watched on as War Greymon swiped the attack away with his claws. The energy blast nailed a nearby canyon and it exploded. That attack would of wiped him out but War Greymon deflected it as if it were nothing.
"Grrr. Lucky," growled Skull Satan. "Hey Devilin! Whats up with that?!"
"He was hiding his power level."
"Well how strong is this guy?!"
"I don't know, Skull. But there's no way to find out. We attack him!" "You got that right!"
"So what other abilities has he learned, Tai" Matt asked.
"Heh. Heh. Just wait and find out."
"Now its my turn, Skull! I'm going to give it my best shot!"
"Go for it!"
"Here goes nothing!"
Marine Devilin squishes his mouth as if he was chewing something and then he let out a huge spit. It was black ink-covered saliva. It was poisonous and could imbolize its victims. It came pouring over War Greymon but he was able to toss a large energy ball to push it away. It went flying back at Marine Devilin but he was able to move out of the way.
Marine Devilin appeared behind War Greymon and did a kick but missed. Skull Satan went for a dive but he went right through War Greymon. Now War Greymon was on the other side. Skull Satan gasped in surprise and turned to face Marine Devilin.
"Hey Skull. Whats wrong? I thought he moved."
"Oh he moved alright, Devilin."
"But how? No digimon is that fast."
"Apparently he is."
"Wow. They weren't able to lay a hand on him," said Biyomon, "They must be crying their heads off."
"Its not over yet, Biyo," Palmon said, "These guys will not give up so easily. They fight to win, even if it is dirty."
"Yeah but look, they're no match for War Greymon," Gomamon cut in.
"Don't under estimate these guys," Tentomon assured him.
The two Demon Corps members spread out to make their next move. War Greymon was still standing there and waiting for them to make their next move.
"Now what are we going to do, Devilin?"
"Hmmm I'm not quite sure. He's been able to avoid our best attacks and he doesn't look like he's going to give in just yet."
"Uh huh."
"I'll tell you now, I'm beginning to despise this cocky little punk. Hey, why don't we use the Dark Spiral Scatter Shot Attack."
"Now I wonder why I should of thought of that in the first place. Alright, lets do it!"
The two Demon Corps members came together and spun into a black tornado. They sent many scatter shots at War Greymon. It looked as though the shots would hit their target but War Greymon was able to power up. A force field formed around War Greymon blocking out all the scatter shots. The Digi-Destined looked on in shock. Skull Satan and Marine Devilin were irritated at the turn of events.
"It didn't work! It should have effected him!" exclaimed Marine Devilin. "I don't get it. But it looks as though we may be in big trouble. But we're not going to give it up this time. He may have us down but we're not giving in just yet."
"No way! I rather die than surrender to weakling digimon!"
"So what now?"
"You got any bright ideas, Skull?"
"Yeah. I may have a little trick up my sleeve. I'm going to go for my Skull Crusher attack! Nobody has been able to avoid this shot ever and I'm willing to bet that he won't be fast enough to dodge it."
"Oh no. I've seen you take care of the strongest ultimates with that one shot." "Yeah, so I'm going to need your help. Once I launch and he moves out of the way, you sneak him up from behind and spike him into the ground."
"Its brilliant! Lets get this thing over with!"
"What's he doing now?" asked Gatomon, "I never seen him do this before."
"Its the Skull Crusher! No digimon has been able to dodge this attack," Patamon explained, "I seen the strongest of digimon destroyed by this very attack. War Greymon better keep his eyes open. One dumb move may screw him up."
"C'mon War Greymon! You can show this bag of bones what you're really made of," Kari cried out.
Skull Satan tilted back and large ball of red energy formed in his left right hand. It grew bigger and bigger as he increased his power. He looked down and aimed right for War Greymon.
"Skull Crusher!"
"Beautiful," Marine Devilin commented.
The energy ball went straight at War Greymon and was about to get into collision with it. The villians watched in anticipation. But War Greymon spun into a funnel and went right through the energy ball taking it out. Skull Satan looked on with shock in his eyes. The Digi-Destined could not believe it.
"No way," exclaimed Metal Garurumon, "He was able to fizzle the attack out!"
"Well, Tai. I got to hand it to ya. You sure trained him well," Matt said.
"Oh yeah."
"Why you! Lets attack!" the two villians cried out together.
The two evil digimon went right at War Greymon and attacked him head on. But he was able to dodge their punches with his new speed. They couldn't even lay a hand on him. War Greymon faded out which really confused Skull Satan and Marine Devilin.
"Hey Skull, where did he go?"
"I don't know."
"Damn it. Where did he go?"
"Ah! Devilin behind you!"
"Huh?!"
Marine Devilin turned to face War Greymon. Marin Devilin was growling under his breath.
"Hey! How are you able to do that?! No digimon is faster than me!"
"Well apparently I am."
"Liar! I could beat a dozen digimon like you and they weren't faster than me!"
"It must be my diet. Though, I try to cut back on all the fat foods. I just had enchildas."
"Oh your diet huh? Well you're going to be eating my fist next!"
"Show him, Devilin!"
Marine Devilin and Skull Satan went head on to attack War Greymon. But he was able to dodge their punches and kicks. The Digi-Destined couldn't see them since they were moving so fast. A huge rumble was taking place in the sky. War Greymon was taking his adversaries lightly and dodged everything that they threw. And just as he fades out, Marine Devilin and Skull Satan connect each other's faces with punches. The villians screeched and went flying back. They faced each other with angry looks.
"Hey! What was the big idea?!" yelled Marine Devilin.
"You should have caught up with him you dumb-"
They growled at each other and it looked like they were about to cream each other. But Skull Satan nodded and puts his fists down. Marine Devilin was confused and dropped his fists too.
"Devilin. No. You see. That's what he's trying to do to us. He's trying to make us turn on each other."
"Huh? He is?"
"You damn right he is!"
"Hey! Do you two wanna dance or fight?!"
The two digimon flew at War Greymon and attacked. He was able to dodge out of the way. War Greymon appears behind him and spins into a tornado. Marine Devilin turned around and War Greymon drills him in the chest. Marine Devilin's armor was pierced through as he goes flying back. Skull Satan watched on with shock in his eyes. The others were in disbelief. War Greymon nails an elbow into the wounded chest of Marine Devilin. The evil digimon goes plummeting down. It looked like he was going to crash into the ground but as soon as he was about to crash. Now he stopped and was hoisted. War Greymon held up his fist and Marine Devilin was twitching in pain.
The newly powered mega made short work of two of the five Demon Corp elite. War Greymon has proven his might and has now taken out Marine Devilin! It's all down to Skull Satan! Hurry up and finish him, then you must face off with Piedmon! Time is of essence! Burizalor is out to find Gennai and he is just about one step from immortality!

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
The Incoming Force! Piedmon's Grand Stage!
"Ah! Devilin behind you!"
"Huh?!"
Marine Devilin turned to face War Greymon. Marine Devilin was growling under his breath.
"Hey! How are you able to do that?! No digimon is faster than me!"
"Well apparently I am."
"Liar! I could beat a dozen digimon like you and they weren't faster than me!"
"It must be my diet. Though, I try to cut back on all the fat foods. I just had enchlidas."
"Oh your diet huh? Well you're going to be eating my fist next!"
"Show him, Devilin!"
Marine Devilin and Skull Satan went head on to attack War Greymon. But he was able to dodge their punches and kicks. The Digi-Destined couldn't see them since they were moving so fast. A huge rumble was taking place in the sky. War Greymon was taking his adversaries lightly and dodged everything that they threw. And just as he fades out, Marine Devilin and Skull Satan connect each other's faces with punches. The two villains screech in pain and go flying back. They faced each other with angry looks.
"Hey! What was the big idea?!" yelled Marine Devilin.
"You should of caught up with him you dumb-"
They growled at each other and it looked like they were about to cream each other. But Skull Satan nodded and puts his fists down. Marine Devilin was confused and dropped his fists too.
"Devilin. No. You see. Thats what he's trying to do to us. He's trying to make us turn on each other."
"Huh? He is?"
"You damn right he is!" "Hey! Do you two wanna dance or fight?!"
The two digimon flew at War Greymon and attacked. But he was able to dodge out of the way. War Greymon appears behind him and spins into a tornado. Marine Devilin turned around and War Greymon drills him in the chest. Marine Devilin's armor was pierced through as he goes flying back. Skull Satan watched on with shock in his eyes. The others were in disbelief. What a turn of events! War Greymon nails an elbow into the wounded chest of Marine Devilin. The evil digimon goes plummeting down with a missile. It looked like he was going to crash into the ground but as soon as he was about to crash. Now he was stopped and was laid unconscious. War Greymon held up his fist and Marine Devilin was twitching in pain.
"Unbelievable!" Sora cried out.
"That's awesome!" T.K. exclaimed.
War Greymon drops Marine Devilin and looks up. Skull Satan was in utter disbelief and shaking in fear.
"I can't...Oh man! Devilin! This is totally insane! I don't know...what...to say..."
"Skull Satan. You might as well leave now. This fight was pointless. If you want to live, you ought to get out of here now. You don't want to be in a same position as your two fallen comrades would you?"
"Um. Tai, why is War Greymon talking like that? Does he realize he's talking to the enemy," Matt said.
"I know but they deserve a chance to change their ways as well. Not everything has to end in a bad way," Tai stated.
"Don't be ridiculous, Tai!"
"Whoa man. The boss sure isn't going to like this. It's time for me to go. Go. GO!" cried out Skull Satan as he flew off into the distance.
He was heading back towards Burizalor's spaceship to inform Piedmon of the terrible news. War Greymon turned back towards Tai and Matt.
"Boy he sure was a good friend. He left his friends behind when he could save them. I think these two guys will be alright for a while after they recover from their wounds."
"You got that right, War Greymon. These guys could use a little of Joe's medical procedures," Tai said.
Kari and T.K. ran up to their respective brothers to receive hugs. Sora and the others then walked up to see them.
"Hey. Excuse me. Are really Tai Kamiya?" asked Palmon.
"Huh? What? Of course I am, Palmon. I haven't changed a bit."
Matt turned to face Metal Garurumon and gave him a cold nod. Metal Garurumon jumped up and shot out a sharp icicle. He shot it down and it pierced right through Marine Devilin's neck. He gasped in pain and let out his last breath. Now a puddle of blood was covering the ground. Tai turned to see what was happening and was angry.
"Matt! That's enough! They're helpless! Call him off now!"
Matt nodded to Metal Garurumon again and the metallic wolf responded by shooting out missiles at the fallen body of Metal Tyrannus. Tai runs up and grabs Matt by his collar.
"Matt! That's enough! You sure like to give mercy but not receive. They were helpless and you know it!"
Matt pushes Tai away and responds by saying, "They're nothing but pirate scum, Tai! They have no feelings and deserved it! They were going to kill us! They would of made slaughtered your sister and Angewomon with no hesitations! Including the one you let go!"
"What? Not him?!"
"Tai, he doesn't have to be stronger than War Greymon to beat him, he can just take one of us as a hostage and lure you in into their hands. They're ruthless savages, Tai. If I know bad guys any better, they know how to survive and they play to win!"
"Yeah, but I don't think having feelings will change anything. I'm sure these guys were brought up to be this way and it was not their choice."
"Oh yeah and how is sentiment going to help if we happen to run into Burizalor!"
"Hey Matt, chill out," T.K. butted in, "If you just saw what happened, War Greymon took those two guys out without any problems."
Kari agreed.
"Yeah and I'm sure War Greymon can take that Burizalor creep on!"
"T.K. Kari. I'm sorry to say this, but War Greymon may be strong but hes not as strong as Burizalor," Matt said.
"And if you guys are forgetting, Gennai is in this whole ordeal too," said Tentomon.
"We can't forget that. Protecting Gennai should be simple," said Sora.
"Well its not," Tai said, "We have to by ourselves and make sure Burizalor doesn't know about Gennai's presence. But I'm just quite excited to get to see war Greymon take Burizalor."
"Tai is underestimating our enemy once again," Matt said to himself, "Leave it to him to being the leader. But I wonder where Skull Satan ran off to."
************************************************************************************
Skull Satan returned back to the spaceship and met up with Piedmon. Piedmon was just finished training a group of virus digimon.
"Skull. I didn't tell you guys to take the rest of the day off!"
"But sir. There's something you should know about..."
Piedmon looked down at the four Digi-Cores and admired their glowing appearance. If these were in the real world, they would be worth a fortune.
"Heh. Heh. Once Burizalor returns back with the password, its only a matter of time he gains the power of immortal status. Just think, working for the most powerful boss in digital universe! Ha! Those Digi-Destined are in for a big surprise! This will be their final performance!"
Piedmon turned to face Skull Satan and had a confused look on his face.
"Hey, Skull! Where's the others?!"
"Uh...we lost sir."
"Are you saying that two of the most illustrious fighters in the Digital World was defeated by one digimon?!"
"Yes sir."
"And where were you?!"
"I was right there with them and I took off..."
"Oh I get it! You ran off! You damn disgrace! How dare you show your skinny ass over here!"
"But this guy was incredibly strong! I'm sorry Lord Piedmon."
Piedmon sighed and was building up anger from within. He had just lost three of his most talented fighters. The three helped build the name of the Demon Corps.
"Puppetmon. Tyrannus. Devilin. Gone. They're gone. I can't believe this," Piedmon said as he turned to face the group of soldiers, "Men. I have four opening spots in the Demon Corps. Anybody is legible to join."
"But Lord Piedmon! I'm still here! We only need three!"
"Shut up! You have no place with the Demon Corps! Unless of course. Unless you show me where the location of where you last fought that digimon and I'll beat him to a bloody pulp."
"Of course sir."
"Ok men! Line up!"
The soldiers lined up into formation. Piedmon was about to give them their first order.
"Now for your first mission, I want you to contain the Digi-Cores within these force fields. Nobody will be able to touch them now."
Four soldiers came up and picked up the four Digi-Cores. They activated force field blocks and placed the orbs within them.
"Heh. Heh. Good. They were able to get that part done right."
"That is great work men. Now, lets go kick some digimon butt," said Piedmon as he flew off.
"Right behind you, sir!"
Skull Satan followed along with Piedmon. They were heading towards the battlefield where the Digi-Destined were taking a rest.
************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined were helping their digimon recover from the last battle. TK walked up to Angemon.
"Patamon?"
"What is it, TK?"
"I was wondering. When you will be able to digivolve into your ultimate form?"
"I have no idea, T.K. I guess my time will come. After all, I was the last to digivolve at File Island."
"Yeah that was awesome! Save the best for last!"
Metal Garurumon and War Greymon sensed two powers heading their direction.
"What is it, War Greymon?" asked Tai.
"Its Skull Satan along with somebody else."
"You see, Tai. I told you shouldn't have let that guy go!"
"Hey just take a chill pill, Matt."
"No, cause I have a feeling he's bringing Piedmon with him! Metal Garurumon, take a power reading at any other directions. They're maybe more heading our way."
Metal Garurumon looked into an opposite direction and sensed a very dark energy on the other side.
"Well, what do you sense?" asked Matt.
"There's a dark energy heading towards Gennai's. That's got to be Burizalor!"
"Alright guys, I got a plan! So listen up," Tai said.
The Digi-Destined stopped talking to listen.
"Skull Satan is coming back along with Piedmon perhaps. So here's the deal. I decided that Matt and I stay here to fend off those two while TK and Kari head on over to Spiral Mountain and Sora takes the others over to find Mimi, Joe and Izzy. We're going to need a lot of help on this one. Are we all in agreement?"
"Yeah!" cried out the children.
Just as they were about to make their move, two figures appeared in the background. It was Skull Satan and Piedmon! They have arrived. Tai and Matt turned to face them.
"Hey Digi-Destined! This is Lord Piedmon! And he would like to have a few words with you!"
War Greymon and Piedmon had a staredown. Tai locked his eyes onto Piedmon.
"Ok guys! Leave now!" Tai shouted. The other Digi-Destined nodded and left. Kari and T.K. almost refused to leave their brothers behind but went along as well. T.K. and Kari left with Angemon and Angewomon, who already digivolved. Those four headed to Spiral Mountain at the center location of Burizalor's spaceship. Sora, Birdramon, Palmon, Tentomon and Gomamon went to find Mimi, Izzy and Joe.
"Sir! They're leaving!"
"Let them go, big deal!"
Piedmon clicked his scout device and was reading it. It was scanning the power levels of the two megas.
"Alright. Lets see here. Power level is at 9,000."
"9,000?! That's ridiculous! That War Greymon must be hiding his power..."
"Shut up, Skull Satan! Of course, he's hiding it. It's ridiculously obvious. You see. That War Greymon is a rare fighter. He can quadruple his fighting power if he wanted to."
"But there's no way a digimon can get that strong!" "Well he obviously is. He must be a freak of some sort like us."
"I see."
"Alright Metal Garurumon. This is going to take more than we can handle, you think you're ready?"
"I'm with you."
"Tai. Lets give them everything we got. I got the bag the bones."
"I'll take care of the clown."
Piedmon and Skull Satan looked intense. Metal Garurumon and War Greymon stared them down. Then they all went at it and the clash begins! War Greymon and Metal Garurumon stared down their adversaries. Piedmon and Skull Satan kept their eyes locked on the two megas. Tai and Matt watched on and holding their crests. The two boys nodded to each other.
Skull Satan and Piedmon made their first moves and attacked the two megas head on. War Greymon and Metal Garurumon responded by attacking their adversaries. Piedmon pulled out his swords and slashed at War Greymon but he was able to block them with his claws. War Greymon jumped back which allowed Piedmon to charge in and slash at him with his swords again. But War Greymon was able to block them. Piedmon faded out and went for a flying elbow but War greymon dodged out of the way. Piedmon threw in several punches and kicks, which War Greymon attempted to dodge. But one kick from Piedmon connected with War Greymon. Piedmon decks War Greymon and sends him flying back.
Metal Garurumon circled Skull Satan as he was ready to pounce him. Skull Satan shot out several beams to distract Metal Garurumon momentarily. But Skull Satan was able to cancel them out with small beams. Metal Garurumon fades behind Skull Satan and nails him with a headbutt. Skull Satan turns and throws in several punches. Metal Garurumon dodged every punch and shot out several Giga Missiles. Skull Satan dodged out of the way and kicks Metal Garurumon in the face.
War Greymon was getting to his feet. Piedmon walked up to him slowly, which allowed War greymon to recover and leg sweep him. Piedmon flipped over and landed on his feet. War Greymon swiped at Piedmon with his claws, but the evil mega was able to moved out of the way. War Greymon charges at Piedmon and misses him. Piedmon flies up. War greymon followed him up. The two megas attacked head on. There was a sudden surge of energy erupting from the two. Piedmon goes for a punch while War greymon goes for a kick. Both moved are blocked out. Piedmon fades behind War Greymon and nails him with a axe handle blow. War Greymon goes flying down and crashing into the ground.
Metal Garurumon fires away ice beams at Skull Satan. Nut he was able to dodge away from the beams and cancel some out with his own beams. Skull Satan ran at Metal Garurumon and misses a kick. Metal Garurumon fades behind him and goes for a head butt but Skull Satan jumps up and kicks Metal Garurumon in the back of the head. Skull Satan applies a headlock and punched Metal Garurumon in the head. Skull Satan decks Metal Garurumon with a power punch and drills him in the face with a devastating kick. Metal Garurumon goes flying back and crashing through a canyon. Skull Satan fades to the devastated canyon and began looking for Metal Garurumon. He was nowhere near sight. Suddenly, Skull Satan jumped back as Metal Garurumon attempted a sneak attack. Metal Garurumon shot out an ice beam and it connected with Skull Satan. Metal Garurumon took advantage and nails Skull Satan with a head butt. Skull Satan goes flying back.
War Greymon was catching his breath and tried to see Piedmon deck him with a punch. War Greymon goes flying back. Piedmon flies at him and tosses his swords at him. War Greymon was able to block them out with his claws. Piedmon fades behind War Greymon and misses a kick. War greymon fades out. Skull Satan goes for a spinning punch attack but Metal Garurumon faded out.
"Lord Piedmon! Where did they go?"
"Hush, Skull! I can sense them."
"At what direction are they coming from?"
"Right."
Piedmon felt a sudden flash of energy heading his way. Skull Satan felt a rush of power rushing his direction.
"NOW!"
War Greymon quickly appeared and attempted to a spin kick to Piedmon. Piedmon lowers his head and misses a punch. Metal Garurumon shots out an ice blast but Skull Satan was able to cancel it out with a ki blast. War Greymon and Piedmon traded fists. Piedmon was able to move out of each punch thrown. Metal Garurumon flies up and goes to snare Skull Satan with his jaws. But Skull Satan fired a blast at him sending the metallic wolf back. Skull Satan flew at Metal Garurumon and nails him.
"Our digimon are handling them pretty well but Piedmon seems stronger than I thought," Matt said as he watched the battles ensue.
"Not so fast," Tai said, "You haven't seen anything yet. War Greymon has yet to unleash his full power."
"Full power? Are you saying that he's been toying with them? He has an even higher power than at his current state?"
"Just wait and see."
Matt looked up and nodded calmly.
*************************************************************************************
Kari and T.K. were on their way over to Spiral Mountain while taking a ride on their digimon. T.K. looked back towards the other direction where the battle was taking place.
"Hey Kari. You think Tai and my brother will be okay back there?"
"Of course they will, T.K.," Kari responded, "They got War Greymon and Metal Garurumon at their side. They are sure to beat those two. Angewomon, can you see Spiral Mountain yet?"
"Not from this distance. But we are heading towards the right path. I sense that it is heavily guarded."
"We can take care of Burizalor's forces," said Angemon.
"Alright guys, there's no time to waste! Burizalor is long away from his base. So we better act fast," said TK.
The angel pair boosted their speed in order to make their trip to Spiral Mountain a fast one. Time was running out.
**********************************************
Joe, Mimi and Izzy were still at the same exact location where they were positioned. They had been left behind after their digimon departed to do battle with the Demon Corps. They knew little of what was going on. Even Izzy couldn't keep track of the chaos that had ensued several minutes ago.
"I wonder how they're faring against those newly arrivals," pondered Izzy.
"I'm starting to get worried. Being put on the sidelines really makes me nervous," answered Joe. "I hope Ikkakumon is alright."
"I can't stop thinking about Palmon," Mimi said, "This heat is really getting to me. This has been a really rough day. Heck, it's been a rough week. I miss being at home in my comfy bed."
"Well I don't see a bed around here, your majesty," said Joe.
"I heard that," Mimi replied.
"Hold on, guys. I'm getting a signal!" Izzy said. "I do believe that Sora and Birdramon are on their way. Ah! It seems Palmon, Gomamon and Tentomon are with them."
"Wow! How were you able to figure that one out? Your computer is really good at tracking other people's locations," Mimi commented.
"Well it does need a few upgrades. I still wasn't able to trace anyone during the battle. Here she comes now!"
The trio waved over as Birdramon landed with Sora and the three digimon. Palmon rushes over and hugs Mimi.
"It's so good to see you, Mimi!"
"You're badly scarred. Tell me what happened."
"Sora! We've lost track of you guys! Just what the heck happened out there?" Izzy asked.
"Believe me, Izzy. It's a long story," Sora replied. "But I'll fill you in on what has happened."
With that said, the red-haired girl explained to the her comrades about the events which had occurred up to the point of Tai and War Greymon's eventual arrival.
***********************************************************************************
War Greymon and Piedmon continued to hammer at each other. Piedmon jumped back and powered up a ki blast. War Greymon blocks it with his claws. Piedmon fades behind War Greymon and hammers a hammerlock. War greymon fades out and nails Piedmon with a kick to the face. Piedmon goes flying back. War Greymon stood there catching his breath. Piedmon got to his feet.
"Now War Greymon. Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Piedmon! The leader of the Demon Special Corps!"
Piedmon got into a one legged stance and held his arms up. His face became a confused look as he saw War Greymon doing the same stance. Tai was laughing at the sight of what War Greymon was doing. Matt even chuckled.
"You mean like this?"
"Yes. No! No! Your right leg is supposed to be up!"
"You mean like this?"
"Yeah."
"Oh I get it. But hey! This pose. It doesn't serve any kind of real purpose."
"What?!"
"Yeah its just a big silly waste of time."
"Waste of time?! This is entertainment value! And I bet you got something better to do or a better entertainment value."
"Yeah. Like winning this battle for once. I haven't got all day."
"Oh I've got plenty of time to spare. I don't have anything else to do. So here itcomes!"
Piedmon held his hand out and his body was starting to emit a bright glow. War Greymon watched a powerful ray of energy appeared in Piedmon's extended hand. War Greymon looked ready for anything.
"War Greymon. He's powering up something very strong. I suggest you move your ass out of the way!"
"Don't worry. I got this one covered, Metal Garurumon."
"I don't think so! Dodge this! Clown Trick!"
Piedmon shot out a powerful amount of energy and directed it towards War Greymon. War Greymon faded out of the way just in time. The blast went straight at a large mountain. There was a sudden flash and everything seemed to be still for a few moments. Then, BLAM! The mountain exploded within a bright flash. There was nothing left as the smoke cleared, but a mushroom cloud formed in the sky. Tai and Matt watched in sudden shock. Skull Satan smiled with satisfaction and applauded Piedmon.
"Yeah! Nice light show, Lord Piedmon! Thats what I like to call explosive!"
"Its not over yet."
"Huh?"
"I can still feel his presence."
War Greymon appeared out of nowhere and started attacking Piedmon head. Piedmon avoided every strike. Metal Garurumon nails Skull Satan from behind and started firing shots at him. Skull Satan cancelled the shots out with beams of his own. War Greymon head butts Piedmon sending him through a canyon wall. War Greymon flew in and attacked Piedmon head on again. Piedmon faded out and War Greymon looked up to see two of Piedmon's swords fly down at him like missiles. War Greymon back flipped out of the way and landed on his feet. Piedmon goes for a sweep kick but War Greymon flips up again and shoots out a beam. Piedmon cancels it out with a swipe of his sword.
Skull Satan nails his Nail Bone attack on Metal Garurumon to stun him for a moment. War Greymon turned his attention to Piedmon. Piedmon flies up with his swords all ready. War Greymon flies up to follow him. Suddenly a small energy ball comes right at War Greymon. War Greymon was able to dodge out of the way. But out of nowhere, Piedmon sneaks up behind War Greymon and applies a tie up to hold War Greymon back.
"Heh. Heh. We did it, Lord Piedmon! Now we have claimed victory! There's no way he can beat the two of us now!"
"Oh no! War Greymon," shouted Tai, "He wasn't able to counter attack like that!"
"So what now, Tai?" asked Matt as he pointed up to War Greymon being held at the moment.
"War Greymon! Don't give up! Its time that you show these punks your real power!"
"We have him! We're sure to claim victory! Wait 'till Burizalor hears this! He's going to award us and maybe we'll get to be promoted as his permanent bodyguards!"
Piedmon looked down at Skull Satan and growled. He releases War Greymon. Tai and Matt gasp in shock. War Greymon was even more shocked.
"No, Lord Piedmon! We had him! You could of destroyed him and taken his data!"
"Hey! I don't recall asking for your help, Skull!"
With that said, Piedmon blasted another one of his Clown Trick blasts at Skull Satan. Skull Satan managed to move out of the way.
"But Lord! Why?!"
"You don't understand, this guy is a rare fighter and I would like to have the pleasure on taking him on myself!"
"Whatever you say. Your the boss."
"Good. I'm glad you understand."
Piedmon turned to face War Greymon.
"Now my friend. Lets get this over with. I know for a fact that you're hiding your true power."
"Huh?"
"Surprised, aren't you? Well don't be. I could easily tell. I'm not as gullible as the others. Before I fought you, I read that your power level was at 9,000. A normal digimon at that level wouldn't have been strong enough to beat Tyrannus and Devilin like you did. So you really are hiding your true power. So I'll tell you what. I want you to show me your true power and I can a reading of it. Maybe I'll know where I stand. I've been waiting for a challenge like this my whole sparring career."
"Oh Piedmon wants a little taste of War Greymon true power," Tai chuckled, "Well he's sure going to get. That's it, Piedmon. Your in for a big surprise."
"Tai. I just hope that War Greymon's true power will be enough to win this fight," Matt said in thought.
"Alright, Piedmon. You want to see my true power. Well your about to get it. So brace yourself! Here it comes!"
"Bring it on."
War Greymon pumped his muscles up and there was a sudden surge of energy surrounding him. He began screaming as his body was starting to glow. Piedmon watched on as he read his scouting device. War Greymon screamed even more as his body was now starting to glow a red color. Piedmon read the power level and it was suddenly increasing tremendously. Piedmon's face changed to that of a shocked expression.
"War Greymon show him what your made of my friend," Tai said as he held onto his Crest of Courage. Metal Garurumon got to his feet and watched War Greymon in approval.
Piedmon was shocked as ever. Skull Satan was picking up War Greymon's growing power level on his device as well.
"What?! It went from 9,000 to 20,000?! Now its at 50,000?! No now its 80,000?! Ahh!" Piedmon exclaimed.
"Argh! What kind of digimon can get this amount of power?! This is just insane!" shouted Skull Satan.
Piedmon and Skull Satan watched on with fear written all over their face. War Greymon continued to power up. Tai and Matt watched on with approval.
Piedmon now realizes what he has been up against. War Greymon is reaching his full power. Is it something that even Piedmon can handle? Is this the one warrior that will bring down the evil tyrant known as Burizalor?

War Greymon Reaches his Maximium! Burizalor's Evil Hand Approaches Gennai!
Piedmon turned to face War Greymon.
"Now my friend. Lets get this over with. I know for a fact that you're hiding your true power."
"Huh?"

War Greymon pumped his muscles up and there was a sudden surge of energy surrounding him. He began screaming as his body was starting to glow. Piedmon watched on as he read his scouting device. War Greymon screamed even more as his body was now starting to glow a red color. Piedmon read the power level and it was suddenly increasing tremendously. Piedmon's face changed to that of a shocked expression.
"War Greymon show him what your made of my friend," Tai said as he held onto his Crest of Courage. Metal Garurumon got to his feet and watched War Greymon in approval.
Piedmon was shocked as ever. Skull Satan picked up War Greymon's growing ki on his scouting device.
"What?! It went from 9,000 to 20,000?! Now its at 50,000?! No now its 80,000?! Ahh!" Piedmon exclaimed.
"Argh! What kind of digimon can get this amount of power?! This is just insane!" shouted Skull Satan.
Piedmon and Skull Satan watched on with fear written all over their face. War Greymon continued to power up. Tai and Matt watched on with approval.
War Greymon continued to power up and a red color was emitting around him. Piedmon and Skull Satan watch on with total shock. War Greymon turned up the notch and powered up to new depths of his extreme power.
"9,000?! Now its 20,000?! 50,000?! And its still going up!" Piedmon exclaimed.
"Ack! Ack! This is not good! And its still increasing!" replied Skull Satan.
"Now its up to 80,000! And its now 120,000!"
"120,000?! That's about six thousand from Piedmon's full power level!"
"This is just insane!"
"What's going on, Tai?" asked Matt as he was looking up.
"Lets just say that Piedmon is screwed."
War Greymon finished powering up. Piedmon and Skull Satan couldn't get their eyes off their adversary. They were as scared as never before.
"You know we don't have to fight," War Greymon stated promptly.
"Huh? What are you saying?!"
"Yeah, you don't want to fight Lord Piedmon?!"
"You two are not even a threat to me. Just say you're sorry for everything you did."
"Me, say sorry?"
"That's right!"
"No! I'm Piedmon! I do what a want!"
"Well I'm sorry to hear that!"
War Greymon's power increased over 160,000. Piedmon looked at his scouter and flew backwards.
"What?! 160,000! This can't be!"
"Oh man! This is what Burizalor was afraid of! He was afraid that a digimon would rise above and overthrow him. That's why he killed millions of digimon."
"But, why does this have to happen to me?!" Piedmon asked with paranoia. "This isn't supposed to happen to me!"
"Yeah you tell him who's boss! Hey you think we should go get Burizalor for this?"
"Shut up, Skull! I'm in charge here! Huh?! Nows its 180,000 and still going up!"
War Greymon continued to power up even further. Metal Garurumon could sense his power going up. Tai watched on with approval.
"War Greymon's power is going up! Man, I can't believe it. I should have Metal Garurumon go through with more training."
Piedmon picked out his two swords.
"Alright! Take these! TRUMP SWORD!"
The two swords went right at War Greymon and they deflected off of War Greymon's powerful aura. Piedmon watched on in shock. Skull Satan moved aside to let Piedmon handle it. Piedmon powered up several ki-blasts. He threw them right at War greymon. But War greymon was able to increase his aura to deflect them. The blasts bounced right back at Piedmon. Piedmon moved out of the way and watched as his ki-blasts destroyed a nearby canyon.
"Agh! Now it's at 200,000! I'm a dead clown," Piedmon cried out and look like he was going to pull out his hair.
"I'll give you one more chance to leave this area if you want to. Its your choice."
"Huh? You mean, you'll just let us go. Just like that?" "Mmhmm. Yeah, anybody deserves a second chance. You're going to be the ones to suffer the most for destroying innocent digimon. Its terrible."
"Terrible, you say?"
"Yeah. You know. You don't have to kill all the time."
"You can use your powers to help others."
"Oh yeah! I can see it now! Piedmon, the protector of the weak and helpless! Don't even think of something like that. It's not going to happen. And you call yourself a strong warrior. You have too much heart to even attempt to kill me."
"Well I don't think having a heart is considered weak."
"Oh really? Well its sure going to lead to your downfall, after I get through with you." "Huh?"
"Yep. You can't have a big heart if you want to win a battle. Sometimes you have to kill, it's the only way. Yep sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but its true."
"You see, Tai" Matt said, "He's right about one thing. You and War Greymon are becoming too soft in this sort of thing. We would of finished them off by now! But no, you have to play it soft."
"Hey shut up! I think there are other things to do rather than kill. I'm not that type of person to just kill, unless there is no other choice."
"Oh yeah, what about the other evil digimon? Like Etemon?"
Tai could remember when Etemon was about to kill them.
Flashback...
Tai held up his Crest Of Courage as Etemon was coming in to attack. This allowed Greymon to digivolve to Metal Greymon. And with one shot of his Giga Blaster, this sent Etemon into digimon limbo.
End of Flashback….
Tai nodded and looked to Matt.
"I had to do that because I had no choice. Etemon was too powerful and Metal Greymon killed him to make sure he didn't reach his full power of power."
"But why isn't he going to kill those two?"
"Cause War Greymon knows he can beat them but doesn't have to kill them."
"Realize what you're talking about! If you let these two escape, they're going to keep destroying everything in their path! Like I said, they're ruthless savages who will do anything to win the game."
"As long as War Greymon is around, they won't be hurting anyone."
"So you see. I won't bow to anybody, not even a guy like you," cried Piedmon.
"Well that's too bad. You're going to have to beg on your knees after I get done with you."
"Hey Lord Piedmon, I say we get out of here and tell Burizalor."
"Shut up! I can handle this!"
Piedmon had an idea up his mind and a cruel smile came across his face. War Greymon looked at him with curiosity. Piedmon chuckled and was beginning to power up his next attack.
*************************************************************************************
Gennai and Veedramon were still waiting for Burizalor. They knew that he was coming and Gennai was well aware that he needed the password. He turns to face Chuumon.
"Chuumon. I ask for you to do something for me."
"What is it?"
"I want you to go find the Digi-Destined and let them know about the password to the digicores. That way, they can use it to stop the evil one."
"Right, but I can't fly."
"Come here and I will grant you that ability."
"Huh? Are you some kind of miracle worker?"
"Just get over here."
With that said, Chuumon walks over to the dying old man. He places his palm over Chuumon's forehead and shines a beam over him. Chuumon felt energized as a bright aura covered his body.
"Wow. I really feel energized as if I were a battery."
"Now, I have granted you the ability to take flight. Now hurry and find the Digi-Destined. He's just about a few moments from arriving at my chamber."
"Right! I won't let you down!"
"Good luck," Veedramon said.
Chuumon rushes out through the door and takes flight from the chamber. He flies out and begins his journey over to the current location of the Digi-Destined. He would then let them know about the digicores' password. He had to hurry before Burizalor detects him through his scout device.
"You know when he will get here?" asked Veedramon.
"Any minute now," said Gennai, "I can still sense his evil power. He is heading this way."
"Yes I can feel it too. What a horrible power. How can such a being enjoy death and destruction?"
"He's a being with no conscience. No remorse for anybody. I doubt he has any feelings for the welfare of his own soldiers as well."
"That doesn't surprise me. Just a couple of days ago, his army destroyed the last of my greatest soldiers."
"They were being foolish. Only the Digi-Destined have been able to destroy most of Burizalor's army. Machinedramon. Metalseadramon. Myotismon. Almost all of the Demon Corps are gone. But the one digimon that has been able to get the job done is War Greymon. We believe that he's the one digimon that is destined to overthrow Burizalor and save the Digital World."
"War Greymon? The Agumon that belongs to the child of courage?"
"Yes. Tai Kamiya has learned a lot about courage and has used it as strength to his advantage. And with the extra training I set for him, War Greymon has increased his fighting power tremendously."
The two of them waited for the arrival of Burizalor and the evil tyrant wasn't too far from the area.
***************************************************************************************
Mimi was sating down alongside Palmon. Joe and Gomamon were throwing rocks into a lake. Izzy and Tentomon were on the laptop looking at the surveillance map in order to find the location of TK and Kari. Sora got every important item needed for their journey towards Burizalor's spaceship. Since leaving the battlefield, nothing has happened.
"Ugh. My buns hurt," whined Mimi.
"Mimi. You always seem to whine. You want me to give you a cushion for your butt?" asked Joe.
"No. My ass is just fine," screeched Mimi.
"Will you guys keep it down?!" yelled Izzy, "Do you want Burizalor's soldiers to come and find us?" They kept quiet. "Thank you. I rest my case."
Izzy looked at his laptop and found a pinpoint location. There were two major powers away from here. Izzy knew one of those powers belongs to Burizalor. But he couldn't make out to the other power level.
"Tentomon?"
"Yes, Izzy?"
"I want you to get a reading of those two power levels that are on screen."
"Whatever you say."
Izzy watched as Tentomon stood there reading the power levels from the surveillance map. Tentomon turned to face Izzy.
"Well?"
"One of them belongs to a vaccine type that I can't recognize."
"And the other?"
"It's undecided. It's Burizalor, without a doubt."
"That settles it. Alright guys, Let's get going and meet up with TK and Kari over at Burizalor's spaceship!"
"Something tells me that this won't be such a good idea," muttered Joe.
"Oh, toughen up, Joe! This is a one in a lifetime opportunity!" Gomamon replied. "On the other hand, you want to stick around and eventually get caught?"
"No, I think we should get going. I really don't want to what kind of cruel torture these guys might inflict on us. Too scary to even think about."
They all agreed and headed off back into the forest.
"I just hope Tai and Matt aren't over their heads and are taking the fight against Piedmon seriously,"Sora thought to herself.
***********************************************************************************
Burizalor is almost near his destination. He felt an approaching ki from his scouter and looked up. He found none other than Chuumon. The evil one simply shrugged his head.
"Just a small fry. There's no use wasting time on that fellow."
With that said, the evil one approached Gennai's chambered hideout. He was drawing near the location of Gennai's home. He landed his pod onto the surface and looked down at the steps. They lead to Gennai's secret home. Burizalor was about to enter until Veedramon came walking out.
"What business do you have here, stranger?."
"I am Lord Burizalor, emperor of a large empire and I plan to expand it throughout the digital universe," said Burizalor, "So this must be the secret resort of Gennai. He's lucky enough to own such a home. So does he have it?"
"Have what?"
"The password. I need it to activate the digital cores and have my wish requested."
"You'll have to wait up here for Gennai to give it to you. Even if he did know it, he wouldn't give it to scum such as yourself."
"Listen. I didn't come all the way out here just to sit here and wait for a weak old man to give me the damn password! I've come to take it from him! Now I'm going down there whether he likes or not!"
Burizalor was about to make his move. Suddenly he stopped and felt three huge power levels heading his direction. Veedramon saw Meramon, Frigimon and Unimon flying out from the skylines. Burizalor turned to face them. He didn't seem to look scared whatsoever and kept a cocky grin.
"Oh and I thought there would be no outside interference," Burizalor said cooly.
"You three! Get out of here! Gennai and I have this under control," said Veedramon.
"Ha! You think you can take all the credit for protecting Gennai, can you?" said Meramon as he chuckled.
"Don't worry we got this one," Frigimon said as he cracked his knuckles.
Burizalor activates his device and began to read the power levels of each of the three digimon. Meramon's power read 2,000. Frigimon's power read as 2,300. Unimon's ki read as 1,800.
"Well according to my scouting device, you three are no match for me. But if you guys want a shot at him, then be my guest."
"We'll show you," Unimon screamed as he shot out his Aerial Attack.
Meramon shot out his Blazing Fist. Frigimon did his Sub-Zero Ice Punch. All three of the attacks connected and hit Burizalor. But their celebration cut as Burizalor was still standing there unscathed.
"My turn," Burizalor silently said.
Meramon was going to make his move but Burizalor caught him and punched him in the throat. Meramon goes down hard. Frigimon couldn't move as Burizalor decapitated him with his strong and powerful tail. Unimon tried flying away but Burizalor quickly faded in front of him. Unimon was scared stiff as Burizalor shot a tiny beam that struck Unimon in the chest. Blood came spewing out of Unimon as he fell to the ground. Veedramon watched on in sudden horror and disbelief. Burizalor came hovering down. He turns his attention back to Veedramon.
"Do my actions frighten you?" asked Burizalor as he chuckled, "Don't worry. You'll be joining them if you don't cooperate."
Veedramon looked down at his fallen comrades and turned his attention back to Burizalor.
"Right this way."
"Thank you very much. Lead me to Gennai."
Veedramon led Burizalor down the steps and they found themselves in Gennai's secret slumber. Gennai stood up from his bed and faces Burizalor. He was stiffened at the sight of the dark overlord.
"So you have it?" "Yes, Burizalor. But, if you think I will just tell you that password then you are awfully mistaken."
"Why you dam old man, I'll slit your throat if you do not give me what I desire."
"Oh and don't have any intentions of killing me, Burizalor," Gennai spoke up, "If I die, then those Digi-Cores will be rendered useless. Since I am linked to the four Holy Beasts that you sealed away."
"Yes. Don't you think I know that! How, I have a little interest in killing your friend over there."
Burizalor points to Veedramon. The warrior dragon stood his ground and was prepared to sacrifice himself against the evil one's relentless assault.
"Veedramon is one of the most powerful guardians of the Digital World if you have forgotten. He is trained by the ancient powers of the Holy Beasts. His power is much higher than the digimon you have already killed," explained Gennai, "So I wouldn't under-estimate him."
"Oh is that so. Well then I'll just take what I collect for and challenge your friend to a one on one confrontation."
"Let me duel with him Gennai. Then I shall prove to him that he's not the most powerful being in the Digital World."
"Very well, but not here. You should fight him outside out of slumber. My life is almost near its end."
"Gennai! You can't say that," Veedramon mourned.
"You must hurry. The Digi-Destined need you!" Burizalor laughed, "Ha! By the time the Digi-Destined find me, it will be too late. I would become immortal by then."
"Not if I have anything to say about it, Burizalor. That password won't be yours. Don't worry Gennai. We shall win this war. Burizalor will not have it his way."
Veedramon turned to face Burizalor. The evil tyrant was walking up onto the surface.
"Veedramon. It's going according to the plan. Chuumon should soon meet with the children and tell them the password,"Gennai said in thought.
"Yes Gennai. He won't know what will hit him."
Burizalor waited for Veedramon to meet him up on the surface.
"Well I'm waiting. Lets get this little spar started with," Burizalor said.
*************************************************************************************
Piedmon was smiling and about to launch his next plan of attack. War Greymon was ready for anything. Tai and Matt watched on. Skull Satan waited for Piedmon to make his move.
Burizalor failed to gain the password, but he now has a privilege to battle Gennai's new right-hand guardian. Veedramon must prove his worth against the vile creature. Piedmon is up to something. Can War Greymon stay on his guard?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Piedmon's Bag of Tricks! Hurry and Summon the Digicores!
Piedmon was smiling and about to launch his next plan of attack. War Greymon was ready for anything. Tai and Matt watched on. Skull Satan waited for Piedmon to make his move.
Piedmon was smiling and was done thinking of his stragety. War Greymon had his eyes locked on his adversary.
"You know, War Greymon. You won't be able to succeed in a battle against the likes of me if you're not a killing machine. You're too soft. How do you plan to ever fight Burizalor! Your way out of your league!"
"You tell him who the boss is, Lord Piedmon!"
Tai and Matt watched wondering what Piedmon is going to do next.
"Any ideas on what Piedmon is planning to do next, Tai?" asked Matt.
"No. I'm clueless. He's just standing there. Maybe War Greymon should of finished him off in the first place."
"Told you."
Piedmon then began laughing. Skull Satan was worried about the mentality of Piedmon. War Greymon and the others were just as confused to why Piedmon was laughing all of a sudden. Was he losing his sanity?
**************************************************************************************
Veedramon locked eyes with Burizalor. He turned back to see Gennai.
"I'll do the best I can. Rest easy, Gennai. You're essential to the Digital Cores. So don't go dying on me."
"Just don't die on me now, Veedramon."
"Yes. Don't worry. I know for a fact that this heartless beast won't beat me. I was trained under the Holy Beasts' watchful eyes."
"Good luck."
Veedramon walked up the steps and met Burizalor on the surface.
"Alright demon. I'm ready."
"What kept you so long? Oh I almost forgot. You had to tuck poor Gennai in bed did you? It's a shame that a once proud fighter like Gennai has to retire the last days of his life in a bed. So are you ready?"
"Let us not fight here, it will only interrupt Gennai's much needed rest."
"You point out the proper battlefield, which will contain your proper burial."
"Towards the old ruins that I currently guard."
"Ok. You lead the way and no dirty tricks. Do you hear me?"
"No tricks."
Veedramon hovered up into the air and flew off. Burizalor then followed his adversary. They both disappeared into the skies.
Gennai was beginning his much needed rest. He was suffering from the loss of thousands of digimon in a form of a broken heart, if digital forms were allowed to possess one.
"How could such a horrible monster destroy a precious place such as the Digital World? Digi-Destined, the fate of two worlds rests in your hands. You can not let Burizalor win."
And with that, he began a long sleep.
***********************************************************************************
Piedmon was laughing. Skull Satan and War Greymon were both confused. Why was he laughing? He may have lost his mind already. War Greymon wanted to end this and was in no mood for any humor, especially not with Piedmon. Piedmon tosses a small ki blast at War Greymon but he was able to deflect the ki blast with his claws. Piedmon continued laughing. Piedmon tosses several more blasts with a possessed look on his face. Piedmon was really a desperate clown. But after each shot, War Greymon deflected them with his claws. Piedmon decided to go for a finger blast and shot out a beam. But War Greymon used his claws to cancel it out.
"Well I got to hand it to you, Tai. He knows how to use those claws."
"They're more than just weapons. Now he should finish him off now. C'mon War Greymon! Lets put him away!"
Piedmon took off his scouter. Skull Satan gasped in shock. Piedmon placed the scouter into Skull Satan's hands.
"I don't need these. Take them. I'll need it later, though. Take care of it with proper care."
"Sir? What do you have in mind?"
"Oh you'll see. Heh. Heh."
War Greymon wasn't sure what was going on but something was up. Piedmon looked back towards War Greymon. War Greymon felt a tremendous surge of energy coming from Piedmon. Something was going to happen and it may not be a good thing. It always isn't around evil digimon.
***************************************************************************************
Veedramon and Burizalor were flying across towards the old temple ruins. Burizalor was losing his patience and turned to face Veedramon.
"So are we there yet?"
Veedramon turned away and didn't answer. Burizalor growled with sheer anger.
"Are there yet, dammit?!"
Burizalor fades in front of Veedramon. They both stopped and flew down.
"This is far enough! You are wasting my time!"
Veedramon was getting ready and turned to face Burizalor. Despite his size, Burizalor was powerful enough to defeat the strongest of all digimon.
"My friend, you may have been trained under the watchful eyes of the Holy Beasts, but your chances of winning are nonexistent. So show me your power."
Veedramon gets into a fighting stance and powers up. His power was starting to increase as the ground started to shake a little. Burizalor was picking up a reading from his scouter and smiled. Veedramon was now emitting a glowing aura. Burizalor could easily tell that Veedramon was indeed strong by the reading from his scouter.
"Oh this is quite a surprise. Maybe you do have a chance to giving me a good fight. Your reading is at 54,000. Now I will warn you. I have a few stipulations as far as our sparring is concerned. If you happen to beat, which I doubt will happen, you can inform me on the password and return to watch that damn geezer. But if I beat you, you die! Sound ok?"
"How do I know your not just going to kill me no matter what the outcome is."
"Oh you can trust me, don't you? Well it doesn't matter now! I'll tell you where my power stands. It is at 530,000. How well do you stand a chance against a power like that, while you possess a weak ki. As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to pound your ass to the ground."
"We'll see about that!"
"I haven't done this in such a long while. You see I have a strong hand and a weak hand. My left hand has enough power to even defeat you. I won't even have any problems using that hand. So today only, I will fight you with my other hand put behind my back. Sound fair? No? Well, if your finished showing off, lets get started then!"
"I'll show you!"
Veedramon charged at Burizalor head on. Veedramon nails a chop on the right side of Burizalor's neck. But to hide surprise, that chop had no effect on the evil one. Veedramon eyes widened in utter shock. Burizalor quickly grabbed Veedramon's arm with his strong left hand. And within a matter of seconds, Burizalor ripped off the right arm of Veedramon. The mighty dragon howled in tremendous pain. His now severed arm fell to the ground and disappeared into fragments of data. Veedramon wrenched in pain as he watched blood coming out of the wound. Burizalor smiled and circled the warrior.
"You disappoint me, my friend. I thought you knew better than attack me head on. I thought the beasts taught you better. I guess those incompetents weren't worth the instructors. But we don't have to worry about them, won't we? Yes, they're gone. Poor them. I shall be ruler of this world once I bring all four Digital Cores together. You will be forced to bow before me, that is if I kill you right here and right now."
Suddenly, Veedramon was howling in pain once again. Burizalor gasped and was cautious. A new arm regenerated out of the wound. Burizalor's eyes widened.
"What?!"
"Oh and I almost forgot to tell you. Since I trained under the Holy Beasts, they gave me the power to regenerate my wounds. It's a rarity among warrior digimon. If I didn't train under them, you would have killed me for sure."
"Grr! You damned trickster! You will regret that!"
"I also forgot to mention to you that I can evolve into a higher level," Veedramon replied. "Watch this. Veedramon chou shinka!"
The blue dragon transforms into a tall, muscular version of his previous form. His horns grew larger and his wings spread out. His skin was metallic silver.
"Kaiser Veedramon!"
[Digi Analyzer: Kaiser Veedramon. He is an alternate ultimate evolution of Veedramon. He is proud protector of the Holy Beasts. Techniques: Unknown to this date]
"Ho! You're power is increasing! This was quite unexpected."
"Impressed? I've been preparing for scum like your. You'll never gain access to the password and I will see to that."
"You no good worm. I'll crush you."
Kaiser Veedramon and Burizalor were ready to go at each other's throats. The dragon warrior charged at Burizalor.
**********************************************************
Sora, Izzy, Joe and Mimi walked through the landscape towards Burizalor's ship. Their digimon were told not to digivolve, since it would give off a ki signal for the enemies to pinpoint their current location. They each looked at their digivices to look for any power level pinpoints. There was nothing yet.
"So we have to walk all the way from our post to the spaceship?" asked Joe.
"Yeah, TK and Kari should be there. I think that's where the enemy might have hidden the digicores," Sora replied.
"Whoa! What if the enemy finds us?!" Gomamon asked. "Don't you think that's suicide?!"
"I doubt Burizalor might be there. After all, he might be out to check on the battle," Sora said. "Either that or he could still be at his ship."
"I say we head back then," Joe replied.
"We either do this now or never! I don't think you would want to know what kind of havoc an immortal could cause, now do you?"
"I guess not, but we should have done this after War Greymon finished off the remaining creeps from the Demon Corps."
"I say now is the perfect time."
"Well my feet are starting to ache," whined Mimi.
"C'mon Mimi, this isn't the time," Joe said as he helped walk Mimi.
"Hey Mimi, if I were Lillymon we could fly out of here."
"Yeah!"
"Wrong," replied Izzy, "What if one of Burizalor's Special Task Forces finds you? Then we got a large army to deal with in our hands in the process."
"Yeah, don't want to ruin your peaceful walk do you, your highness," Gomamon said which made Mimi upset.
Suddenly Izzy's digivice began to pick up some distress signals.
"Hold on a minute. My digi-vice is picking up some energies."
Sora, Mimi and Joe took a look at their digi-vices. They got the same distress signal.
"What could it be." asked Joe.
"There must be a battle going on! Wait! I'm willing to bet that War Greymon is still fighting Piedmon," exclaimed Sora.
Izzy nodded in agreement.
"Then we better head on over there!"
The four Digi-Destined ran through the barren landscape with their digimon leading them. They were just a few miles away from the actual battle site.
************************************************************************************
Piedmon was still laughing which was really starting to tick War Greymon off. Tai was getting just as ticked as well. Piedmon placed his hand in his pockets. War Greymon watched and was ready for anything. Piedmon pulls out a white piece of paper. It looked like a handkerchief. War Greymon was confused.
"Hey look, Matt. It's a white flag. I bet he's surrendering."
"I don't think so. I think he may have another trick up his sleeve."
"Hey! Why don't you make yourself disappear!"
War Greymon flies at Piedmon ready to attack.
"Play time is over, ass clown!"
"So, I'm a clown? Then I'll act like one."
Piedmon tosses the hankie at War Greymon. It grew bigger and draped over War Greymon. Then the hankie seemed to suck War Greymon in. Metal Garurumon tried to save him but became a victim of the hankie.
"What the heck?! Where did they go," cried Tai.
"They disappeared," Matt replied.
Piedmon grabbed the two hankies and pulled out two objects. They were key chains. There was one of War Greymon. The other was of Metal Garurumon. The two megas were turned into key chains.
"They're key chains," Matt cried. "No! War Greymon!"
"Ahhh. Don't worry. You two will soon be joining him."
Piedmon faded down and tossed a giant hankie at Matt and Tai. The hankie seemed to suck them in as well. Piedmon pulls off the hankie and reveals two more key chains. There was one of Tai. The other was of Matt.
"Ahhh more key chains for my collection. Splendid."
"That was brilliant, boss!"
"Why thank you, Skull. Lets pick them up before somebody steals them."
"Right. You always want your key chains in good condition."
Piedmon and Skull Satan picked up the key chains.
"Ha!I knew that legendary warrior crap was nothing. Now we just saved ourselves and Burizalor big time!"
"You're right, Skull. I think I'll promote you as top man after I retire."
"Really you will?!"
"Nah. Not yet. I love my job to even give it up. Come lets go and make sure those other kids don't get to the Digi-Cores."
"Right."
The two Demon Corp members hovered up and flew off into the horizon. They were heading back to spaceship base. In the distance, Sora, Izzy, Mimi and Joe had watched the whole battle.
"Oh no! Tai! Matt! They've been turned into key chains!" Sora exclaimed. "What kind of sicko turns people into key chains?!"
"Oh man! I don't think I'm ready for that," Joe shrieked.
"We're going to have to fight them sometime, Joe," said Gomamon.
"Hes right, and we have to follow them," Biyomon stated promptly.
"Want us to digivolve, Izzy?" asked Tentomon.
"No, go and take a dump. Of course, you have to digivolve. Those two are really strong and we need you to digivolve."
"Watch me kick their butts," Palmon said.
"Go for it," replied Mimi.
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence]
Their digivices were activated. The digimon were ready to digivolve.
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon!"
"Palmon shinka! Togemon!"
"Biyomon shinka! Birdramon!
Now their crests began to glow and give the digimon the power to digivolve again.
"Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
"Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
"Birdramon chou shinka! Garudamon!"
"Lets head on out!" Izzy ordered.
The kids got on their respected digimon and headed towards the direction where Piedmon was heading. It was towards Burizalor's spaceship base, which resided near Spiral Mountain itself.
***************************************************************************************
Back at Spiral Mountain, a large group of soldiers were standing around guarding and keeping an eye out for intruders. They were ordered by Piedmon to guard the three Digital Cores. The Digital Cores were hidden away inside the base.
TK and Kari were watching from a distance so they wouldn't be seen. Their digimon suppressed their power levels so that the soldiers wouldn't pick them up from their scouters.
"Angemon, its heavily guarded at the moment," said Angemon, "You think we should turn back and wait for the others?"
"No. Tai said we have to come here and we're going to do as he says," replied TK.
"He's right," Kari said, "We're hear to get those Digi-Cores before Burizalor gains his wish."
"In that case, enough of this idle talk," Angemon said, "I say we attack. They may out number us but we have more power on our side."
Angewomon nodded in agreement.
"He's right. They're all a bunch of weaklings. So we can take them out."
As one of the guards was about to activate his scouter, he was blasted away. The other guards ran up to their fallen comrade and looked up to see the angels.
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Hand of Fate!"
With one full onslaught attack, the three digimon were able to wipe out all of the guards outside the base. There were many more inside the base.
"The Digi-Cores are here," said Kari, "Because why would Burizalor put all these guards here?"
"That makes perfect sense. But where could of hidden them," asked TK.
"Inside. They have to be inside."
"I think the digimon should make sure that there isn't anymore guards inside. Angemon go check it out!"
"You too, Angewomon! Make sure the outside is all clear. Give us a warning if anything happens."
"You got it."
The young Digi-Destined headed inside with Angemon and Angewomon leading them in. An alarm went off as more guards came rushing in. They were a bunch of Vilemon and Tankmon.
"We can take care of these small fries," said Angemon as he pushed his fist forward and blasted some into digi-dust.
Angewomon shot out her Celestial Arrow destroying a few more of the guards.
"Well that was easy," said Kari, "Now lets look for those Digi-Cores!"
"Lets check that room over there," TK pointed out.
They went into Burizalor's chamber room and checked the place. There was no sign of the Digi-Cores.
"Where could he of hidden those suckers," asked Kari, "They must be outside. Otherwise, he wouldn't of let anybody come in here and just take them from him."
"Maybe he wants us to come here so he can capture us," TK said.
"Nah. That would be too obvious. Burizalor wouldn't be that type of creep," replied Kari, "So lets check the outside of this base."
They walked out of Burizalor's room and checked a couple of rooms out. There was nothing to be seen. No Digi-Cores.
"Anything, yet?" asked TK.
The angels nodded in disapproval.
"I found them!" Kari cries out.
TK and the digimon turned their attention outside and ran out of the base. They found Angemon pointing up to three sealed cubes containing the Digi-Cores.
"Alright! Great job, Kari! Now we can take them and get the heck out of here."
"Hold on, TK. Its not that easy," replied Angewomon, "They seemed to be sealed within these cubes."
The three Digi-Destined stood there with blank expressions to the thought that they came all the way over here to find the Digi-Cores but inside sealed cubes.
************************************************************************************
Piedmon and Skull Satan were flying across the landscape as they were heading back to spaceship base. Little did they realize that the two children have beaten them there to the digicores. Piedmon pulled out the four keychains and dangled with them playfully.
"Just four new key chains added to my collection. All I need is a new set and my collection is complete."
"I'm sure they will be worth it if you keep them in good condition."
"I always keep my key chains well-protected. You don't realize how much they are worth."
"I collect skulls of my victims, you think that's worth it?"
"No I call that sick and demented."
"So you think those Digi-Destined beaten us to the Digi-Cores."
"I doubt it. There are too many guards and I'm sure our guards have overwhelmed them by now. Wait till Burizalor gets a load of my key chain collection. I'm going to be promoted for sure this time."
As the two villains sped off towards their destination, they were being followed. Lillymon, Garudamon, Zudomon and Mega Kabuterimon. Izzy was checking on his laptop. He found two powerful energies heading towards Spiral Mountain and to his surprise he found two more at the location itself.
"You guys! We have to hurry! Piedmon and Skull Satan are almost to Spiral Mountain," said Izzy.
"Hey isn't TK and Kari there?" asked Mimi.
"Yes. And that's why we have to get there before they do! Lets get speed it up, Mega Kabuterimon!"
"Hang on tight!"
"You two better get a move on out of there and take those digicores with you!" Sora thought.
In no time, the three digimon boosted their speed and flew to their destination. The digi medicine had actually helped them a lot in boosting the digimon's speed and energies.
*****************************************************
TK and Kari sat around, clueless as to how they were going to break up the sealed cubes containing the Digital Cores.
"So any bright ideas?" asked Kari.
"No. My fire power wasn't strong enough to break open the seals," replied Angewomon.
"None of our digimon's attacks have been able to break open the seals," replied TK.
The angels attempted everything within their power. Not even Angemon's Hand of Fate was able to break open the seals. Even one hit that destroyed Devimon wasn't enough. Not even Angewomon's Celestial Arrow could break them up, and her arrows were strong enough to destroy Myotismon's first form.
"You think my brother and Matt already beaten those two creeps yet?" asked Kari.
"We won't know unless they get here. I think War Greymon wiped those two Demon Corp morons by now."
"I hope you're right, TK," Kari said.
Suddenly, the digimon felt two enormous powers heading this direction. They turned to tell the kids.
"TK! I feel two enormous powers heading this way."
"I bet you its War Greymon and Metal Garurumon! They beat those two-"
"No. They belong to two evil powers."
"What?!"
TK and Kari expressions changed. They feared the worst to come. Their last hope was defeated.
"I say we hide behind those large rocks. And if we keep our powers suppressed, they won't track our power levels from their scouters," said Angewomon.
Angemon nodded, "Lets go. Behind those rocks."
The three digimon led the kids behind the large rocks. They kept their powers suppressed and didn't make a peep.
Piedmon and Skull Satan landed and searched the area.
"I can't believe our brothers were defeated by those two," said TK.
"Yeah. If only our digimon were strong enough."
"Angemon, you'll protect me."
"Of course."
"Well mission accomplished thus far. Like I said, those kids wouldn't even bother to come here and take these Digital Cores. Lucky for us, if they did, they would realize that they are sealed within these cubes."
"No kidding boss. Now all we have to do is wait for Burizalor to get here so he can claim immortality."
"Oh yeah. Hey, where are those guards. They were supposed to look over these Digital Cores!"
"Maybe they took a lunch break."
"Its not even lunch time now. I'm going to have to start cutting some soldiers off the roster."
"Well you shouldn't be mad. Now that you have four key chains to your collection."
"You got that right. Heh. Heh."
Piedmon held the four key chains and put them in his pocket.
Kari and TK gasped at what they saw. Their own brothers have been turned to key chains along with War Greymon and Metal Garurumon.
"Whats wrong, kids?" asked Angemon.
"Our brothers..."
"Where TK, I don't see them. They obviously were defeated."
"Yeah and Piedmon turned them to key chains," cried Kari.
The angels gasped in horror.
"Well time to activate and open these cubes," Piedmon said as he waved his hands down.
The cubes were deactivated, which allowed the three Digi-Cores to fall to the ground.
"Nice work, boss. If I do say so myself."
"Thank you."
"Those evil meanies! I say we take those Digi-Cores now!"
Just as TK said that, he tripped over a rock and fell to the ground. Kari gasped and turned to see Piedmon and Skull Satan turn to face them.
"Ha! I knew it would be too obvious!," said Piedmon. "Yeah. Looks like we got ourselves a group of intruders. So were you rugrats listening to our whole conversation?"
"You turned our brothers into key chains! We want you to change them back right now," growled TK.
"Or we're going to teach you a lesson," Kari cried out.
"You teach us a lesson? I like to see you try. Hey Skull Satan, you think we should give up the key chains."
"I don't know. They're a very valuable set of items. It would be a waste if you turned them back to normal."
"Yeah it would be a waste. I'll tell you what. To make things a little easier, you two can join them in my collection!"
"Kari!"
"TK!"
"Or better yet! Two angel key chains in my collection! Two rare items!"
"You won't be collecting anything now! We're not worth it! Hand of Fate!"
Piedmon pulled out his swords and cancelled out the blast.
"Your turning them back to normal! Angewomon!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
Skull Satan flies up and cancels it out with his Nail Bone.
"So you three want to fight the two of us over the key chains! Fine, tango!"
Angewomon and Skull Satan went at it. Piedmon was more than happy to fight Angemon.
"Go get him, Angemon!"
Angewomon threw in several punches but Skull Satan was able to dodge out of the way after each blow. Skull Satan flies up and fires away at Angewomon. The female fades out and misses a punch. Skull Satan fades behind her and nails her. Angewomon retaliates with several beams. Skull Satan was able to cancel them out with his Nail Bone. He then nails her with his staff. She goes flying back. Skull Satan appears above her and fires a beam, sending her crashing to the ground.
Piedmon flew up. Angemon tossed ki blasts at him. Piedmon was able to cancel them out with several beams. Piedmon appears behind Angemon and decks him with a forearm shot. He goes for a kick but Piedmon catches his foot and shoots a beam at him. Piedmon then elbows Angemon and blasts them with beams. Piedmon flies up and shoots out more ki blasts. As the smoke cleared, he was gone. Piedmon turned around and saw two beams heading his direction. He easily fades out. Angemon appears and collides with Piedmon. Piedmon tosses out his Trump Swords while Angemon pulls out his staff. He blocks out the two swords. Piedmon was behind the angel. Piedmon kicks Angemon in the back and fades above him with an elbow shot to the gut.
The two kids watched as their digimon were being taken apart.
"We're losing Kari," TK said, "If only we had reinforcements by now."
"Hey! You want reinforcements? You got them!" a girl's voice similar to Sora's called out.
TK and Kari turned to see Sora, Izzy, Mimi and Joe heading their way. Garudamon, Zudomon, Lillymon and Mega Kabuterimon appeared. Piedmon and Skull Satan turned to face them.
"Well looks like we got ourselves some more competition," said Skull Satan.
"They're ultimates and won't be hard to beat. You can handle, right?"
"Yeah, boss. I got you covered."
"Good. Attack now!"
Skull Satan flew up and met Lillymon as they collided. Skull Satan threw in several ki-blasts, but Lillymon was able to manuever out of the way. She shoots out her Flower Cannon but Skull Satan deflected it with his staff. He nails her with his Nail Bone. This stunned Lillymon long eough for Skull Satan to fade above her and smash her down to the ground. Skull Satan turns to see Zudomon and Mega Kabuterimon flying at him. Skull Satan flies right between them and fires two beams from behind. Mega Kabuterimon retaliates with his Horn Buster attack. Zudomon goes for his Zulcan's Hammer. Skull Satan cancels them attacks out with his Nail Bone attack. Garudamon flew out and attempted a claw slash, however, she caught only air itself. Skull Satan comes up from above her head and clubs her between the eyes with his Nail Bone technique.
"Garudamon! Man, that's really going to leave a mark!" Sora cried out.
"He easily deflecting their attacks," Izzy exclaimed.
"This is not good at all," cried Mimi.
"If only Piedmon hadn't turned Tai and Matt into key chains then we wouldn't have this problem," TK said to himself.
"Hey Piedmon. You ready to add more key chains to your collection?"
"Not just yet. I say we hammer them some more then I can turn them into key chains. It's just so hard to find a good collection these days. Skull, I want you to pick up the reading of their power levels."
"Right."
Skull Satan activated his scouter and read of the digimon's power levels. To his surprise, they were only in the few thousands.
"Ha. We should have no problems now."
"Nope not at all."
"Though we should keep an eye on those two angels. They're the sneakiest ones of the bunch."
"Right. Avoid all arrows and holy ki at once."
"Alright! This is the battle's end for you, Digi-Destined! Ha! Ha!"
Piedmon and Skull Satan aren't giving up without turning all of the other Digi-Destined into key chains. With Tai and Matt as key chains, do the children even stand a chance against the duo? Burizalor still has his hands full with Kaiser Veedramon, as he attempts to protect Gennai and prevent the evil one to gain the access code to the digicores. The action shall continue.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Takeru's Crest Finally Glows! Arise Magna Angemon, the Holy Warrior!
Piedmon and Skull Satan attacked the digimon again after a good strategy. Skull Satan uses his powers from his Nail Bone and stuns Altur Kabuterimon.
"Alright boss! I got one!"
"Very good! Item number one away!"
Piedmon tosses a large hankie over the frozen Altur Kabuterimon. The Digi-Destined watched in horror as the hankie seemed to suck Altur Kabuterimon right in. Now all was left as a key chain of himself. Izzy tried to run up and snatch the key chain. Unfortunately, he was covered by another handkerchief. Izzy was turned into a key chain.
"Nice catch, boss!"
"Thanks. There's two added to my collection."
"Oh no! Izzy! Altur Kabuterimon!" cried Sora, "You guys we have to avoid those hankies at all costs!"
"Well that's a good strategy," Joe said, "We might as well become key chains ourselves."
"Stop doubting yourself," cried Mimi.
"No. I'm not about to give up! And neither is Angemon!"
"Or Angewomon!"
Lillymon attempted to throw in some kicks and punches at Skull Satan. But Skull faded out and blasted her in the face with a beam. Lillymon flew back and was caught by one of Piedmon's giant hankies.
"No! Lillymon!"
Mimi tried to save her friend but was restrained by Sora. Suddenly, Piedmon faded in front of them and tossed another hankie, this time Mimi was the next victim.
"Mimi! Your going to pay for that," growled Joe, "I'll show you not to turn anyone into key chains!"
"Cocky for a little man. Take that!"
Joe stopped in his tracks but was swallowed up by another hankie. Now Joe was added as another item to Piedmon's collection. Zudomon tried to intervene but was stunned by Skull Satan's Nail Bone attack. This allowed Piedmon enough opportunity to fade in front of him and toss a hankie at Zudomon as well. Piedmon picked up the Zudomon key chain and placed it into his pocket.
"That's ten down boss."
"And six to go."
Sora, TK and Kari watched in horror as Piedmon and Skull Satan were approaching them.
"You two have to get out of here," said Sora, "If you stay here, you'll be turned into key chains!"
"But we can't leave you Sora!" "Don't worry about me, TK. Just take Kari and get out of here."
"But what if Burizalor returns."
"Just go with TK and get out of here, now!"
"Alright Sora, whatever you say."
"Now go!"
TK nodded to Kari as they both ran off. Angemon and Angewomon followed them over in case Piedmon happens to follow them. Sora turned her attention to Piedmon and Skull Satan.
"You sure are brave to stay and fight us," Piedmon laughed.
Skull Satan looked up to see Garudamon firing beams at them. Piedmon and Skull Satan flew up. Garudamon flew at them and threw in punches. One connected to Skull Satan sending him flying back. Piedmon took advantage and threw in his Trump Swords. Garudamon went flying back as the swords pierced through her wing, sending her into a wall. Piedmon tosses a hankie over her and adds Garudamon into his key chain collection.
"Garudamon!"
Just as Sora was about to run away, Skull Satan appeared behind her and held her. Piedmon tosses a hankie and it covers Sora up. Within seconds, she was now nothing more than a collectable item for Piedmon. Skull Satan picks up the key chain and hands it to Piedmon.
"There you go, sir."
"Thank you. Now all we got are four more of the most valuable items to add to my collection"
"Right. I'll pick up a reading of their power levels."
"So where are they?"
"Over at the other side of the mountain. We can surprise them there."
"Yes. On my mark, get set, GO!"
TK and Kari stopped at a dead end. There was a rock ledge in front of them. It looked steep. If anyone would fall off, they would be killed by their fall.
"Looks like we have to climb down."
"Yeah."
"I'll go first, Kari. Even though I'm scared of heights."
"Ok."
Kari found a long rope and started to climb down. TK followed after her. As soon as they got down, Piedmon was there to greet them. He was hovering and holding the key chains of Garudamon and Sora.
"Hello! You two are so rude to have left us back there. But don't worry. I'll make up for it, by turning you two into key chains!"
Angemon and Angewomon were about to save them until they were stopped by one of Skull Satan's ki blasts.
"Looks like your two guardian angels will be out for a while, so who wants to go first?"
TK and Kari tried to climb back up but one of Piedmon's Trump Swords cut the rope in half. The two Digi-Destined came falling off. Piedmon watched as they fell.
"Wow, and we didn't need to turn them into key chains."
"Nah its quite alright. It's better that they die. Now we can make up for that when we turn their angels into key chains.
**************************************************************************************
Suddenly, everything was turning into slow motion. TK and Kari were falling to their deaths. There was no hope left. TK and Kari were holding hands. But TK pulled out his crest of hope.
"No I can't give up hope. Just because everything looks bad, doesn't mean we can give up! If Matt were here, he told me the samething! Kari, I'm not giving up hope for you or the others! The others had the chance to digivolve! But not Angemon! Angemon! I haven't given up hope for you either! I have hope and faith in everyone now!"
Suddenly TK's crest started to glow. The Crest Of Hope was beginning to glow and it gave power to Angemon.
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" theme plays in sequence]
Angemon felt tremendous energy flowing through his body. He was getting stronger and he stood on his two feet. Piedmon and Skull Satan watched as Angemon let out a aura of holy energy.
"What's going on boss?"
"He's, he's. Oh my goddramon! He's going to digivolve!"
"His power level is sky rocketing! It's the same kind of power like the War Greymon!"
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence]
TK's Crest of Hope responded as Angemon was set to digivolve. Angemon was ready to digivolve.
"Angemon shinka!"
Now he has eight pairs of wings and a long purple saber came out of his hand.
"Magna Angemon!"
Piedmon and Skull Satan watched on with shock as Magna Angemon was standing there.
"But how did he digivolve out of no where, boss?"
"That boy's crest was activated and allowed Angemon to digivolve! Now his power is near that of War Greymon and he's a freaking ultimate!"
"Impossible!"
Magna Angemon quickly faded out.
Just as TK and Kari were about to fall to their deaths, Magna Angemon appeared and caught them both. He held them tightly in his arms and flew back up. He places both children to the ground.
"Angemon! I knew you could digivolve! You look awesome!"
"Right on!"
"TK. I am Magna Angemon. I have eight shining wings and a shield. I wave the mighty sword, Excalibur. And my attack is the Gate of Destiny."
[Digi Analyzer: Magna Angemon. Ultimate-level. Special Techinques: Magna Antidote and Gate of Destiny]
Magna Angemon touches Angewomon and revives her with his Magna Antidote.
"Alright! Get them, Magna Angemon!"
"Angewomon is revived! We're sure to win now!"
"But how? We were whooping him big time! How could he digivolve with this amount of power, boss?"
"I don't know. This is just insane. His power reading is higher than mine. It's also greater than War Greymon's! It stands at over 200,000!
"That's impossible, Lord Piedmon!"
"It's the truth. We better not take our eye off of him, especially if his power level is above War Greymon's."
"Lets take care of this, Angewomon."
"I got bone boy."
Angewomon and Skull Satan went at it. Skull Satan threw in rapid punches and kicks but was unable to connect with Angewomon. Piedmon and Magna Angemon went at it. It seemed as though the angels were more powerful than their adversaries.
Skull Satan attempted to fire more shots but was deflected by Angewomon's beams. Skull Satan flew up and powered up his Skull Crusher. He tosses it at Angewomon but she fades out. Skull Satan turns to see Angewomon place her hand in front of him.
"Angewomon! No! Don't! Noooooo!"
But just as Skull Satan was going to scream his last words, Angewomon blasted him away with a large blast of holy energy. Piedmon turned to see the last of his mighty Demon Corp soldiers die at the hands of the female angel.
"Now Piedmon! This is your chance to surrender! Or you'll end up like Skull Satan."
"Huh? No! This can't be happening and I'm not about to surrender to the likes of you! Just because you got more power, doesn't make you the superior being! I'll teach a thing or two about respect!"
Just as Piedmon was about to nail Magna Angemon, the newly digivolved angel faded out. Magna Angemon appears behind Piedmon and decks him right in the face. Piedmon goes flying back. Magna Angemon appears above him and fires a beam at Piedmon. Magna Angemon then appears behind Piedmon and elbows him in the back. Piedmon goes crashing to the ground.
"Alright! I add you to my key chain collection! Take that!"
Piedmon tosses a hankie at Magna Angemon. But with ease, Magna Angemon slices through the hankie with his saber and fades him front of Piedmon. Magna Angemon slashes Piedmon in the chest and decks him with a punch to the gut. Piedmon goes flying back and crashing through a rock ledge.
"Angewomon! Gather the key chains together!"
"Right."
Angewomon snatches the key chains and places them on the ground. Magna Angemon spread his wings.
"Now its time we bring our friends back to normal. Magna Antidote!"
With that said, the magic of Magna Angemon transformed the key chains back to normal. Their friends and digimon were returned to normal. TK and Kari ran up to their brothers.
"Tai!"
"Matt!"
Tai and Kari were together once again. The same applied to TK and Matt. The others were happy to see that they were back to normal.
"Hey TK. Angemon, is that you?" asked Matt.
"Yeah! He's now Magna Angemon. He digivolved! Now he's taking care of that clown now!"
Tai noticed War Greymon kneeling down. He ran up to him.
"What's wrong, War Greymon?"
"My power is fading. I'm starting to weaken. I think when Piedmon turned me into a key chain, it sort of drained my power."
"Well that's just great. Don't worry, Magna Angemon can handle this."
Piedmon was getting to his feet and was coughing blood. He took notice of this and was growling in anger.
"You made me bleed now I'm going to make you bleed! With my swords, you shall DIE!"
Piedmon faded out and went to slash Magna Angemon with his sword but Magna Angemon faded out of the way. Piedmon turned around and was decked in the face by Magna Angemon. Piedmon goes flying back. Magna Angemon fades in front of him and drives his fist into Piedmon's gut. Piedmon fell to the ground and was coughing more blood.
"Had enough? You can't win, Piedmon."
"Thats what you think. I'm sending you to digimon hell after this game!"
"I'd like to see you try!"
"Take this! Clown Trick!"
The powerful beam deflected off of Magna Angemon. Piedmon gasped in horror. Magna Angemon grabs Piedmon and punches him into another rock ledge. Piedmon was down and almost out.
"Time to finish him, Magna Angemon! Go," TK cried.
Magna Angemon nodded and flew at Piedmon with his saber ready. Piedmon saw Magna Angemon coming and an idea came to his mind.
"Heh. Heh. You'll be my ultimate collector's item, Magna Angemon! What a treat this will be."
Piedmon tosses a giant hankie at Magna Angemon. Everything goes still for a moment, Magna Angemon was stopping in his tracks and Piedmon was cackling. Suddenly he had an idea that came to mind.
"The fool is letting his overconfidence get the best of him! Big mistake! He has total lack of battle experience as I possess! Never rush in like that!"
Magna Angemon watched as Piedmon quickly tossed his hankie at him. Magna Angemon froze as the Digi-Destined gasped in horror.
Everything was slow as the hankie was about to cover Magna Angemon. Suddenly, a ball of energy burns through the hankie and wastes it. Magna Angemon turned to see War Greymon breathing heavily. War Greymon had thrown one of his Terra Forces to save Magna Angemon from becoming a key chain.
"War Greymon! Nice save," TK said, "Now. Lets get down to business. Magna Angemon, if you will."
Piedmon gets to his feet and seems to be severely injured. Magna Angemon fades in front of him and decks him with a fist to the gut. Piedmon goes flying back and Magna Angemon fades behind him and nails him with a kick. Piedmon goes flying into a rocky ledge. War Greymon was in real bad shape.
"War Greymon. You need to let Magna Angemon handle this..."
"I think I have a little Terra Force left..."
"War Greymon! Don't!"
War Greymon went on and powered up. He cupped his two hands together and raised them over his head. He attempted to power up another Terra Force. But he falls to the ground and loses consciousness after a tremendous power loss.
"War Greymon!"
"Wrong move, angel!"
Piedmon takes advantage and punches Magna Angemon in the face. Magna Angemon goes staggering back. Piedmon smiles but then his face becomes a frightened look. MagnaAngemon turns to face Piedmon and nails him in the face with a punch.
Kari and Tai ran up to the fallen War Greymon and tried to help him up. Metal Garurumon picked up War Greymon on his back.
Magna Angemon fades behind Piedmon and grabs him. Piedmon head butts him and blasts him with a beam. Magna Angemon swipes it away with his saber. Piedmon pulls out his swords and tosses them at Magna Angemon. Magna Angemon puts out his two hands and stops the swords in their tracks. Piedmon's eyes widen as Magna Angemon pushes them back at Piedmon. Piedmon manages to catch his swords and goes flying back. Magna Angemon flies at Piedmon and surprises him by fading out. Piedmon turns around and gets decked in the face by Magna Angemon.
"I better think of something quick or I'm beaten for sure!"
Magna Angemon cups two hands together and pulls them back and shoots out a powerful beam at Piedmon. An explosion occurs and Magna Angemon watches to make sure that he nailed Piedmon. As the smoke cleared, Piedmon was laying on the ground. Magna Angemon hovers down and picks up Piedmon.
"Now! Its time to finish this fight, Magna Angemon," TK ordered.
Magna Angemon tosses Piedmon up. Piedmon goes flying up. Magna Angemon flies up after him. Piedmon stops himself and looks down. He sees Magna Angemon coming his direction.
"Ok. My hankies won't finish him, but I know one thing that will! I'm sure to declare victory after I unleash this!"
Piedmon powers up and puts his two swords together. It becomes one large saber and was a darker version of Magna Angemon's saber.
"Have a taste of your own medicine! End Game!"
The Digi-Destined watched in horror as Piedmon was going to deliver the final blow to Magna Angemon. Magna Angemon could only smile and fade out of the way. Piedmon's eyes widened. He turns around and sees Magna Angemon. The winged hero waves his saber in a form of a circle and a small portal appears.
"Gate of Destiny!"
"What's that?! No! What is it doing to me?!"
Piedmon was being sucked into the portal like a vacuum cleaner. Piedmon tried with all of his power to keep himself from being sucked in but it was no use. Magna Angemon kicks Piedmon into the portal but just as he was about to go in, Piedmon stabbed through the gate opening and held on tightly.
"You won't send me digimon limbo! But if I do, I promise I will come back to haunt you! You and that ungrateful child! You will remember who I am! I will haunt you in your dreams! You haven't won at all! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
And without intentions, Piedmon let himself free and gets sucked into the portal. Piedmon's laughter could be heard from a long way trip to digimon hell. The gate closed up and Magna Angemon hovers down.
"Alright! We did it! We beat Piedmon," exclaimed TK, "Magna Angemon! You were awesome!"
"You're the 'mon!" said Tai.
Magna Angemon looked down to TK and nodded. Tai and Kari were more worried about War Greymon's condition. Then all of a sudden, Tai falls to the ground and is heavily breathing.
"Tai? Whats wrong," asked Kari.
"I'm not sure. All of a sudden, I just feel weak. Maybe I'm feeling the same kind of pain as War Greymon is feeling."
"I don't get it."
Just as they were going to help Tai, the whole mountain started to shake and bright lights started appearing in the once dull, gray skies.
"What's going on," asked Sora.
"It looks like Spiral Mountain is starting to dematerialize," explained Izzy.
"That makes sense," Matt said, "Since Piedmon is gone, then the whole Digital World should be back to normal."
Tai then falls to the ground and loses consciousness. The others crowd around Tai. Sora and Kari are worried the most, since Kari is Tai's little sister and Sora has known Tai for a long time.
"You guys. We have to take Tai and War Greymon into the ship," said Sora, "We don't have much time and we shouldn't be celebrating. Have you guys forgotten that Burizalor is still out there?"
The others nodded. Metal Garurumon carries War Greymon on his back and walks inside the base. Matt, Sora and Tai help lift Tai inside.
"TK and I found this healing chamber where Tai and War Greymon can rest and regain their strength," said Kari, "In that room. The medical room."
They took both War Greymon and Tai inside. Matt and Sora placed Tai into a small bed. War Greymon de-digivolved to back to Agumon.
"I've been in these before. It's a pain in the butt," said Matt.
"No kidding," replied Metal Garurumon. "This looks like the older models."
With that being said, he de-digivolved to Gabumon and pressed a button. He pressed it and it opened up the chamber.
"Now help me place Agumon into that chamber."
Matt and Gabumon carried Agumon into the chamber. Gabumon pressed the close button to seal up the chamber. Some sort of liquid started to rise up and fill the tank.
"Gabumon, isn't he going to drown in there?"
"No TK. It will help him. That liquid is a sort of medicine that cures wounded digimon after a long battle. And not only will it heal him, he will build up more strength like this."
"Well I would like to recommend this to gyms we have on earth."
"This machine is not a toy. It is often used during the many digimon battles of the past."
"I see. Thanks for filling me in history."
"No problem, TK," replied Gabumon.
Matt walks over to Sora, TK and Kari. They watched over Tai, while he was resting.
"What's his condition?" asked Matt.
"We don't know. He may have lost consciousness after being turned into a doll," answered Sora.
"But we all got turned into dolls and we look fine."
"I don't know Matt."
Just then, Biyomon, Patamon and Gatomon, who previously de-evolved from their ultimate forms, came scurrying into the medical room.
"What's up, Biyomon?" asked Sora, "Anything yet?"
"Yeah. There's some new body armor we found very useful. You guys should try them out."
"We'll pass, but show us these body armors."
Gatomon dragged in two body armors, similar to the ones that the Demon Corps and many of the foot soldiers were wearing.
"They fit comfortably and can fit on any size," Gatomon said as she tried one on.
She quirked an eyebrow and took it right off.
"Nah. It's not exactly my taste.
"They're too small for me," said Patamon.
"Um guys. Maybe we should start worrying about something else important."
They all turned to face Sora.
"Remember, Burizalor is still out there. He won't stop until he finds out that we've been in his ship. Even if he has to destroy everything in his path just to find us."
The others nodded in agreement. Suddenly they heard a loud voice echoing in their heads.
"Digi-Destined!"
"Oh my god. Its Gennai," Sora said.
"Sora. I've sent Chuumon to give you the access password to activate the digicores. I'm sorry that I should told you sooner, however, Matt was with you at that time. I couldn't trust his judgment with these digicores. It will be best that you and Biyomon head out to meet with Chuumon. He's getting very close to where you are positioned at."
"That's good to hear!"
"Use these Digital Cores wisely, for my time is almost up."
"What are you saying?"
"My life is drawing to a close and so is my long distance."
"But what happens to the Digi-Cores after that?"
"If I die, they're done. The only ones able to create a new set are the four Holy Beasts but they are sealed away. They don't have much power left."
"And what about Burizalor? He's sure to find us!"
"Thats where the real challenge starts. The real test to see if you eight are truly the Digi-Destined has come. You managed to overcome every evil adversary that has come in your way. Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, the invaders, Burizalor's own right hand men, the Demon Corps and Piedmon just now. They're all weaklings compared to the evil power of Burizalor. You will have to risk fighting him, for he can't be allowed to conquer this world and then destroy your own. He will expand his empire throughout the digital universe and eventually your own world. That's only if he becomes immortal."
"But can we beat him?"
"Your chances of beating are almost slim to none. But I have faith in you. You have the power of your crests and tags to help your digimon reach new levels. One of you eight will emerge with the digimon as the ultimate force that will overthrow Burizalor once and for all."
The Digi-Destined looked to each other, as did the digimon.
"There isn't much time left. You must act now. Good luck, Digi-Destined. I'm sure you will save our world."
Gennai's voice fades away. Sora is now aware that Chuumon would arrive with the password. She turns to face the others.
"Alright gang. This is it. I don't know what to say. With Tai and Agumon recovering, we're going to have to get it everything we have. We will fight Burizalor till the end!"
The others nodded in agreement. As of now and until Tai recovers, Sora has officially made herself the official leader. It was quite a privilege for her, but it really became a thorn to Matt's ego. He hated the fact that Tai became leader, but he was furious to realize that Sora was a position he thrived to achieve. His jealousy was kicking in at this point.
Mimi, Joe and Izzy carried the four digicores into the medical room.
"Here's the four digicores," Izzy said. "So what now? How about the wish?"
"I'll explain everything."
Then she turns and looks at Tai.
"Please recover soon. We need you Tai. We need War Greymon for this fight. You two are essential.
***************************************************************************************
Just on the other side of the Digital World, Kaiser Veedramon was recovering from the wounds being inflicted by Burizalor's onslaught. Burizalor was standing there not breaking a sweat and a smile on his pale-looking face.
"Well it looks like you're about to give in pretty soon. You don't have much power left. That little regeneration trick was mighty impressive, but is that all worth it? You really are looking forward to dying are you?"
"That's what you think. I still have large amounts of energy. You shouldn't under estimate me, friend."
"Oh is that so? Well then, why am I so easily beating you? It can't be because you are hiding any power. According to my scouter, you shouldn't be hiding any power. By the way, where are the Digi-Destined?"
"I will never tell you the location of the Digi-Destined! How dare you even mention them! You will never defeat the power of the Digi-Destined! Others have already tried and failed."
"Yes. They underestimated those children. But I have studied the power of the crests and tags."
"What?"
"Yes. Unfortunately for them, they won't be hiding behind their digimon any longer."
"You won't win."
"But I'm sorry to say that I will."
Burizalor points to Kaiser Veedramon and shoots out a beam of energy. It penetrates the dragon's skin leaving a bad bruise. But then Burizalor shot more beams at him. The shots were now beginning to become dangerously painful. Kaiser Veedramon fights out and fires a ki blast at Burizalor. But Burizalor puts his hand out and deflects back at him. Kaiser Veedramon falls to the ground and trying to catch his breathe.
"If that was your best attack, then you're in big trouble. You disappoint me guardian. I thought you would serve your gods well. What happened there? Remember I'm mortal. You'll be able to conflict pain on me. You just aren't trying hard enough. Such a shame."
"A shame?"
"Yes. It's a shame that you will have to die so quickly. I can feel your power depleting as we speak."
As soon as he said that, Kaiser Veedramon was on the ground with many wounds on his body. Blood was trickling down each wound. Burizalor likes to see this kind of torture. He's the type where he likes to torture before he ultimately executes his victims.
"So, are you ready to surrender to me?"
"Ugh. N-No. No."
"What? No?"
This angered Burizalor even further as he started hammering away at Kaiser Veedramon. Kaiser Veedramon took each hit and was losing power quickly. Burizalor knocks him to the ground with a kick to the head. Burizalor stood over him and picked him up.
"I'm going to force you to surrender, after I rip your spine out."
Just as Burizalor said that, Kaiser Veedramon was laughing. This enraged Burizalor even further and he punches the dragon warrior in the face again.
"You are pathetic. I can't believe I wasted this whole time toying with you. I should be back at the base with the password and already gained immortality!"
"Good. He has no idea that we've sent Chuumon to inform the children about the password. I will by more time for the Digi-Destined."
Burizalor picked up Kaiser Veedramon and delievered more painful shots to the face. Kaiser Veedramon saw an opening from Burizalor and inflicts a claw slash across his face. The evil one gasped at the scratch on his cheek. He growls and delivers a tail swipe. Kaiser Veedramon was sent rolling back.
"He managed to get a shot in at me. I shouldn't under estimate this one. His power level stands at 190,000 after his evolution to Kaiser Veedramon. I better put an end to this soon."
But little did the evil one realize that eight children found the digicores. They had beaten him to the prized possessions.
*************************************************************************************
Sora, TK, Kari and Matt were standing around in another room as they were planning out before they head out into the Digital World.
"I was thinking that we should find a place to hide out, because Burizalor is bound to return here at any moment," said Sora.
"As long as we suppress our energies, he won't trace us down on his scouter," Biyomon stated.
"Good idea, Sora. But I don't feel right with us going out into the open to search for a good hiding location. I say we stay here," Matt replied, "Even if Burizalor arrives, if we fight together, we can beat him for sure."
"You heard what Gennai said. Burizalor is enough to defeat the strongest of the digimon and he will make no exception with ours."
"Then I should be the one to fight him. He said that a digimon will emerge as the ultimate force that will bring down Burizalor, thats got to be Metal Garurumon!"
"Matt! Don't be too sure about that! We haven't even fought him yet."
"But I'm the only one who has had an encounter with him before. I felt what his power was like. It's evil but he's not unstoppable. He's bond to have a weakness of some sort. And Metal Garurumon will be the one to bring him down."
Sora could see overconfidence in Matt. She still has her worries on Tai's recovery. But Matt has developed an even bigger ego ever since returning from Earth. At first it wasn't a real problem, but now its gotten worse.
"How can Matt be so over confident? Does he realize what Burizalor is capable of? We should keep an eye on him."
Sora stood up and looked to Biyomon. She faced the others.
"Guys. I'm going to be heading out to meet up with Chuumon. Matt I want you to stay and take care of the Kari and TK," said Sora.
"Please can't we come with you?" asked TK.
"No. You two stay here with Matt. I might run into Burizalor but it's no better than seeing him get his hands on you two. I promise I will be back."
Sora stepped out of the room with Biyomon. Matt, TK and Kari watched as she left the room.
"Ok, Biyomon. You ready to digivolve?"
"You just give me the signal."
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence]
Sora's crest and tag glowed and it gave Biyomon the power to digivolve.
"Biyomon Shinka! Birdramon!"
Sora got onto Birdramon's leg and held on tightly. Birdramon took off and flew through the gray skies of the Digital World.
Kari and TK watched Birdramon disappear into the background.
"Please come back safely, Sora,"TK said to himself.
Kari sighed and thought to herself.
"Tai. Agumon. You two recover as fast as you can. The dark one is on his way."
Sora has ventured into the Digital World where she will risk it all just to help her fellow Destined find a new hiding place. She must hurry and find Chuumon, so he can inform her on the password. She is unaware of the presence of Burizalor, who continues to inflict punishment on Kaiser Veedramon. Will she make it back in time to help her friends before Burizalor gets to them first?

Coral: That's until Agumon finishes getting healed. Anyway, we've got more guests. Kenshin Himura and Ms. Kaoru.

Coral: Yeah, we could use more booze.
Kenshin: I'm just sorry to hear that the author couldn't make it.
Coral: Oh. Well, don't worry about him. He should be back right when the party starts. Just give us a few more chapters to get the party officially started. Damn, we really appreciate the help.
Kaoru: Maybe I can help cook.
Yahiko: I don't think you should go poisoning our guests, Kaoru.
[Kaoru goes into rage and smashes her fist across Yahiko's head.]
Yahiko: Ow! Ow! Ok, I give up!
Max: Anime women really scare me.
Coral: Tell me about it. Then again, I am also an anime girl. You better keep your mouth shut or you'll feel my female wrath. That alone makes the Warlord look like a pussy.

Max: Ok, I get it.
Coral: Our next guests will be fic author Anthony and reviewer, Alan Wilkinson. We'll also have two anime characters of our choosing. Until then, peace out.

Sailor Moon: Thanks, Vash! Um, we didn't expect ya to just point your finger and scare that monster off.
Vash: I wonder what I did to make him run off like that?
Millie: Vash saves the day, again. Isn't he something, Meryl?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
What's the Password, Chuumon?! Hurry, Burizalor is on the Horizon!
Back at the base on the former Spiral Mountain, the Digi-Destined have been waiting for Sora to arrive. TK takes a walk outside with Patamon following him.
"What do you see, TK?"
"Nothing yet. Sora has been gone a while."
"She'll be back. I just know she will."
"I just hope your right."
Kari and Gatomon walk up to them.
"Hey Kari."
"TK. My brother is recovering fine, but he just needs a little more rest."
"That's good to hear. Hey Kari?"
"Yeah."
"Wasn't that just cool to see Patamon digivolve to ultimate?"
"Yeah. You sent that clown packing!"
"Thanks, Kari. I try my best."
"You are the best, Patamon," said Gatomon, "We make an awesome team."
"Oh yeah."
"We make a good team too," TK said.
"We sure do. After all our digimon are second strongest compared to our brother's digimon."
"Yep."
TK and Kari viewed the landscape of the reformatted planet.
*************************************************************************************
Birdramon has been soaring over the areas in search for Chuumon. Sora hasn't had any luck so far.
"Birdramon. Is there any place in particular where we could hide out and that is far away from Burizalor's base?"
"I know an area near just near the rail town just miles from here." "Lets go there. Also, we need to find Chuumon. He's the one who will give us that password, according to Gennai."
"Hang on tight!"
Birdramon boosted her speed and flew off into the skies and made sure to suppress her energy as low as she can so that Burizalor won't be able to trace them.
**************************************************************************************
Matt walked inside the medical room and over to the bed where Tai was resting. Matt sat down on chair to watch him.
"Tai. Don't worry. I will have this under control. I will defeat Burizalor with Metal Garurumon. I'll make sure that your sister and my brother come out of this battle alive. You need your rest. Looks like being a doll really drained your energy for some reason. As a matter of fact, I might need your help to beat Burizalor. Once that's finished, then we'll finish where we left off back in the digital world."
Gabumon watched over the chamber containing Agumon. Agumon was recovering very well but needed more time.
"Rest your injuries my friend. You'll be stronger than ever. I guarantee it."
TK, Kari, Patamon and Gatomon lain down and watched the sun coming up.
"I really wish Sora would hurry it up, Kari."
"Me too. What if Burizalor shows up?"
*************************************************************************************
Back on the other side of the planet, the battle continued between Burizalor and Kaiser Veedramon. Kaiser Veedramon was attempting to catch his breath and regain his composure. But Burizalor just stood there smiling as he if wasn't putting any effort and taking his adversary seriously. The dragon warrior was taking a lot of punishment to by some more time for the Digi-Destined to gain the password from Chuumon. Luckily for him, Burizalor was unaware of the secret plan that he and Gennai planned out.
"Well. I must say, Veedramon. You truly are nothing more than a pathetic warrior. Did you really think you had a chance in beating me? All your efforts were for nothing. Well?"
Kaiser Veedramon was getting to his feet and ready to attack again. Burizalor walked closer in attempt to torture him again.
"Oh well. Suite yourself. I won't hesitate to kill you."
Kaiser Veedramon pushed forward and shot out a powerful beam of energy. An explosion occurs and Kaiser Veedramon watched as smoke was building up. He shot out one of his most powerful ki blasts he could ever deliver. But to his shock and as the smoke cleared, Burizalor was still standing there. He was unscathed and chuckled a low laugh.
"My dear friend. You really are starting to bore me. As you know by now, you really never had any chance in hell in defeating me."
"What?!"
"Well it doesn't matter anyways. One way or another, I should be getting out of here. But I'll leave you something to remember me by."
Burizalor quickly fades out within a blink of an eye. Kaiser Veedramon watched in horror as Burizalor appeared in front of him. Burizalor delivers a mighty blow to the dragon's gut. Kaiser Veedramon fell to his knees and watched Burizalor face him.
"Veedramon. You truly are pathetic for a digimon with a level of 190,000."
Suddenly, Kaiser Veedramon started to chuckle and looked up at Burizalor.
"What the hell is so funny? This is no joke."
"No joke. I'm just laughing at how we outsmarted you."
"Huh?"
"Yes. I was just using this time to distract you all along."
"What do you mean? Speak up! Is there something you're hiding?"
"Yes. By now, the Digi-Destined should have all four Digital Cores."
"That's ridiculous. They don't even have the password!"
"You're wrong. We've sent Chuumon to give them the password. You're out of luck. Heh."
"I don't believe this. You did all this just to get me away from my base! Then those meddling Digi-Destined must be at my base with the Digital Cores! No! Not to mention the fact that the small fry I spared will give them the password."
Burizalor powered up and caused the ground to shake with his frightening ki energy. He looked down at Kaiser Veedramon with an enraged look on his face.
"Mark my words! I'm not through with you yet! I'm coming back to finish you off later!"
Burizalor flies off and heads back to his base on Spiral Mountain. Kaiser Veedramon is left as a wounded digimon. He waited for anyone to assist him. His time of death would soon sweep upon him.
As he flies on his way back to his base, Burizalor activated his scouter to send a transmission message to the base.
"Demon Corps. This is Burizalor. Come in. Over. Huh? They're not responding. They couldn't be all dead, could they? No! There's no way those eight children and their children could have defeated the most elite fighting group on the digital universe!"
Then something else came to his mind, the Digital Cores.
"Damn those children! They better have not let those children near those Digital Cores! Grr! I'm the only one who deserves possession of those after all of that trouble! If those damned Digi-Destined activate those cores, I'm finished!"
Burizalor boosted up his speed in order to make it to his base on time.
****************************************************************************************
Gennai was still resting in his bed and recovering. He didn't look like in any good shape. It was only a matter of time before his time passes. Gennai speaks in his thoughts while sleeping.
"I still haven't told the children how to activate the Digital Cores. It's a pretty simple process but requires two to activate them. Those who inherit light and hope will be are able to do so. Wait! Light and Hope?! Kari and TK! Chuumon needs to know this."
He uses his thoughts to pick up any nearby power levels within his area. The only powerful level in the area was Birdramon, who was flying over the lake. Gennai decided to send a distress signal to Sora telepathically.
Just as Sora was looking over the landscape while hanging onto Birdramon's leg. It's been hours since they left the others at Burizalor's base. But she was going to look for another hiding ground. This way they won't be found. It wasn't easy but she promised to find the best hiding spot she could possibly find.
"Sora! Sora! This is Gennai! Can you hear me?"
Sora heard him and answered back to his telepathic message.
"Yes, Gennai. I can hear, loud and clear!"
"Good. Sora I just forgot to tell you something about the Digital Cores. Do you know how to activate them?"
"Yeah, Gennai. We just got them. We need that password from Chuumon."
"Duh, me. Here's what you need to know. Only two people are known to activate. Chuumon can only give you the password, but the two Digi-Destined that inherit the Crest of Hope and Light can say the password."
"Kari and TK."
"Yes. They are the only two with enough power to activate them, and they have the ability to restore power to the four Holy Beasts. However, we must act quickly, if you don't make it back in time, they might not even work. My life force is fading faster than we speak."
"Well I'm looking for a new hiding ground in order to avoid Burizalor. I have yet to see Chuumon."
"There's no time for that Sora. I understand your looking out for the welfare of your friends, but Burizalor might have regained possession of the Digital Cores."
"Oh no! You're right! Gennai, is Burizalor really there already?"
"No. But he is on his way back. You better hurry. You don't have much time left."
"Right, Gennai. I'll beat him to it."
"Hear that, Birdramon?" "Loud and clear. So back to Spiral Mountain? Here we go!"
Birdramon boosted her speed and flew back towards Spiral Mountain.
"I'm sorry I have to break my promise on locating a different location, but maybe the activating the Digital Cores will help after all."
"Sora! I see someone coming in the distance."
"Is it Burizalor?"
"No, I can't see clearly, but it looks like.."
Chuumon came out from the far distance and stopped. He found Birdramon and Sora.
"Ah! It's you two! What a relief!"
"There's no time for that, Chuumon. We have to get going now!" Sora replied.
"Right. Right. You lead the way."
***************************************************************************************
On the other side of the Digital World, Burizalor could read the power level from the other side. This power belonged to Birdramon.
"What? Somebody is trying to beat me to my base! It has to be one of those Digi-Destined and their pathetic digimon. Ha. Nobody beats me to my ship. I better keep an eye on this one."
He continues on his long journey back to the base. But he has no idea that the children of Light and Hope were there and they were able to activate the Digital Cores.
*************************************************************************************8
Just outside the base, Kari and TK were watching over the Digital Cores. Patamon and Gatomon were playing a game of roshambo.
"Aw! You beat me again, Gatomon!"
"Ha. Never challenge the champion of roshambo, Pata Pata."
"You're such a cheater. Hmph!"
Kari and TK giggled at their digimon's little games. TK noticed Kari looking a little sad.
"Hey, what's wrong, Kari?"
"I'm just worried about Sora. She's been gone an awfully long time. Not to mention my brother and Agumon are still recovering."
"I know Sora hasn't let me down before and she won't this time. C'mon she's like a second-hand mother to us."
"You're right, but what about Burizalor? He's bond to return looking for these four Digi-Cores."
"I know."
"They're very pretty."
"I bet they're worth a million bucks!"
"Maybe more."
Gatomon walks up to Kari.
"So how do you like being my digimon, Gatomon?"
"I like it. It's much better than being a slave to Myotismon. I have more freedom. You may act a little weird sometimes, but you're a true friend."
"Aww, thanks."
"Hey Patamon?"
"Yeah TK, I'm really pleased with your digivolution. Magna Angemon. Wow!"
"Yeah. It was pretty cool."
"You think you would stand any chance against Burizalor in that form?"
"I don't know. We'll just have to see when the time comes."
"Just remember, Piedmon was just a flunky. Burizalor is a true monster sent from hell," said Gatomon.
"Wait, you mean you seen him way before we got here?"
"I don't remember when, but when I was still Salamon, I could remember seeing a group of soldiers raiding a Tokomon Village. And if my whiskers remember correctly, I could sworn I seen Burizalor."
"He looked pretty much like wimp when we saved Chuumon at that village," replied TK.
"Well don't let his size fool you. He has enough power to crush even the most powerful of all digimon within a heartbeat. He wiped out that Tokomon Village without a fiber of remorse. I was horrified at what I saw, but I knew there was nothing I could do back then. He would have killed me if he had the chance."
"That's just horrible," said Kari, "Why would such a monster want to kill digimon for entertainment?"
"I don't know. His power scares me the most and I shudder to think what he could do if he enters your world."
"We're going to make sure that won't happen."
"Kari's right! We won't allow him to kill anymore people and hurt our families," TK said with sheer determination.
Suddenly Gatomon and Patamon turned to another direction and felt an enormous power coming their way.
"What is it, Gatomon?" asked Kari.
"I feel a strong power coming this way."
"Patamon?"
"Stand back, TK."
All four of them froze for a moment as a large shadow was looming. And to their relief, it was Birdramon. Sora was waving to them.
"Look, gang! It's Sora! Shes back," said TK.
"Sora! Welcome back," Kari cheered, "Did you find a new hiding place?"
Sora nodded her head. TK and Kari lowered their heads in disappointment, but they looked up to see Chuumon on top of Sora's helmet.
"But I do have some good news. Look who I brought."
"Chuumon! Hey! It's good to see you again!" TK said.
"Hi, kids! I'm glad to know that you're doing well! So you beat Piedmon and the Demon Corps? Impressive. You kids are truly the Digi-Destined."
"It was all thanks to Patamon," the boy replied.
"Gennai just sent me another message and it seems there's a chance to activating the Digital Cores," Sora continued. "We know Chuumon will give us the passowrd, but he can't activate the cores by himself."
"What?"
"According to what Gennai said, the two Digi-Destined of Light and Hope are the only ones who can actually activate them with the password"
"That means, Kari and I?"
"Yeah. You two are the only ones."
"So, we're the ones to use the password?" asked Kari.
"Yeah, that's the way it goes."
"Its worth a try, TK."
"Yeah! Let's see if we can bring Leomon back!"
Sora walked over to the four Digital Cores and placed them in the center of the ground. She runs back inside the base to get the others.
"Matt! Mimi! Joe! Izzy! We're going to activate the cores!"
This caught everybody by surprise. Matt and Gabumon came out first, followed by Joe and Gomamon, then Izzy and Tentomon. The girls soon caught up with them.
"So, you found Chuumon?" asked Izzy.
"Gennai told me while I was out looking for a hiding spot for us."
"Wow, how cool," said Mimi, "I wish I can read minds."
"You can't but Gennai can," Joe said as he sighed.
"So, what are we waiting for? Lets activate those cores," Matt said impatiently.
"Hold on just a minute. Chuumon has to say the password. It's your call, little guy."
"Right! Ahem, The password which I use to activate these digital cores is none other than takari!"
"TK. Kari. Let's get those digicores to work!"
"Right! The password we use is Takari! Arise and grant us your power! We wish for this piece to be restored to the digital world where it rightfully belongs!" exclaimed the two children.
Just then, the Crests of Light and Hope started to glow and emitted two powerful rays of light over the cores. The cores started to emit a heavenly glow and levitated off the ground.
"Whoa, that's cool!" TK said.
Kari smiled and muttered, "That's pretty."
The four cores floated into the air and shot out four rays of energy. The four rays widened out and started to spread over the Digital World.
"Hey, look! Check it out," Matt pointed out.
"What is it?" asked Sora.
The darkness that once covered parts of the planet started to fade away fast. Light was being restored to the once gloomy and dead planet.
"The Digital World is being restored to the way it was before Burizalor and his forces dominated," explained Izzy, "The Digital Cores are essential for the digital universe. It helps give it the life. Without, it would slowly die off and that's what Burizalor was doing. He, like a computer virus, was spreading poison. But now we have the anti-virus, using the Digital Cores. From there, he would reformat it to his own choosing. By reformatting it, he would spread a new empire that would alter the balance to not only the digital universe, but our own home world."
"That makes sense," said Joe.
"Its so pretty. I'm glad it's being restored," Mimi said.
"Me too. But I'm sure, Burizalor wouldn't be having a heyday after he sees this," said Palmon.
The Digital Cores continued to restore life slowly throughout the digital universe. Even in the digital world, the once dead Primary Village was being revived. All of the Digi-Eggs were restored.
****************************************************************************************
Burizalor stood frozen as he watched the light starting to restore the life of the planet.
"What is this? What the hell is this? Light? Where is it coming from? No! The Digital Cores! They beat me to it! They have activated the Cores! Why those low-life opportunists! How could they?!"
Burizalor boosted his speed up and flew off in order to get to his base on time.
**************************************************************************************
Kari and TK watched as the cores started to make their move over the once great Spiral Mountain. The cores emitted light over the mountain and slowly it caused to mountain to shrink down to size.
"What's happening to Spiral Mountain?" asked Kari.
"It looks like the power of the cores is deleting it, since it was a creation of Burizalor. Now its being restored to the way it once was."
Within seconds, the mountain was gone and it was now a flat forest. The Digi-Destined looked around and were relieved. Burizalor's base was still intact.
"Look, Burizalor's base managed to stay in tact," said Sora.
"Lets go see if Tai and Agumon are doing well," Matt said was he stepped into the base.
Gabumon rushed into the medical room. And to his relief, Tai was still sound asleep and Agumon was still recuperating in the healing chamber.
"Are they ok, Gabumon?"
"Yes. They're fine. They need more rest. Especially Agumon. He took quite a beating today."
"Yeah. Lets see what the Digital Cores are going to do next."
"Right. Maybe we can get a noodle restaurant restored."
"You're always dying of hunger."
"Hey, when you gotta eat. You gotta eat."
The Digital Cores floated up and restored more parts of the digital world that was devastated by the dark forces.
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor was on his way and he had a murderous look on his face. The Digi-Destined had beaten him to the Digital Cores. He had destined himself to be the one to capture the Digital Cores, but all that went down the drain. But he still had a chance to regain the Digital Cores and end all the hopes and dreams for the Digi-Destined.
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined watched in awe as the digicores were restoring areas of the Digital World that were devastated by Burizalor' army.
"I can't believe, everything is going back to normal. I'm glad," said Sora.
"And now such areas like Primary Village will be restored," Biyomon said flapping her wings happily.
The name Primary Village made TK remember the baby digimon that he and Patamon took care of and the time Elecmon tried to attack them. It was something he could never forget.
"Patamon. What if Elecmon was one of Burizalor's victims?"
"That's alright TK. As long as the Digital Cores are healing the devastated areas of the Digital World, then the babies and Elecmon will be restored."
"That's good to hear."
"Yeah."
The Digital Cores was spreading more energy throughout the Digital World. Even File Island was being restored. It was as if it were cleaning out all the evil viruses that were plaguing a computer. The oceans were now restored, which allowed large creatures such as Whamon to swim and rule the oceans once again. Forests were being restored and the Forest of Illusions was now replaced by normal tropical rainforests. Mountains were now rising again where flat lands once were.
"Its so beautiful," said Kari, "I never knew that the Digital World was a much prettier place than I thought."
"It will be much nicer when Burizalor is dealt with once and for all," Gatomon said, "I really wish that they wouldn't have destroyed it. Its too gorgeous to be destroyed."
The Digital Cores continued on restoring more devastated areas. Slowly, digimon that were killed off by Burizalor's forces were being revived.
"I can't believe we really did it," said Mimi.
"Its not over yet. That creep, Burizalor is still out there," Palmon said with sheer anger.
"He's a real dirt bag," Gomamon growled as he looked up at Joe.
Joe nodded agreement.
"I can't wait to give that creep a piece of my mind," Matt clenched his teeth and fists in anger.
TK took notice of his brother's anger and was getting worried.
"I seen my brother angry like this before. I remember when Tai and Matt were fighting, he would tell me to back off but I knew he was trying to stick up for me. But then I have matured a lot since then. Matt needs to realize that he doesn't have to stick up for me anymore. Where was he after we returned back into the digital world? He came back as a real jerk."
Sora also took notice of Matt and also was worried.
"Matt better not think twice and start thinking he can beat Burizalor. Sure he's seen him, but even he has to admit it. We don't know what the in depth power of Burizalor is really like. I for sure don't want to experience it. If anybody is willing to challenge that monster, it's War Greymon. Matt, just don't let your ego get the best of you, please.
****************************************************************************************
Leomon looked around and realized that he was brought back to the digital world. TO his surprise, he didn't come back as a digi-egg. He sheathed his sword.
"I can't believe I'm back to life. I'm back home. I thought I would be reborn as a digi-egg back at Primary Village."
"You should be lucky," a voice said in his mind.
"X? Is this your doing?"
"Yeah. I had a talk with the powers that be and they granted your body back. Since you've committed good deeds, you were given another chance. It seems that you're needed to protect the children from Burizalor. The evil one is approaching. They're using the digicores to restore this piece back to the digital world. You have to hurry as fast as you can."
"Yes. I won't let you down."
"Oh and make sure to keep Matt in line," a girl's voice said.
"Don't worry, Keke. I'll do whatever it takes to straighten that boy out."
"Good luck, Leomon," X replied.
"Yes."
Leomon looked up to see two beams of light. These beams were emitted from the Digital World. Leomon figured it quickly.
"The Digi-Destined must have activated the Digital Cores. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been emitting those beams of light. It is said that the children of Hope and Light would break the seal and give the Digital Cores its powers. Yes, the Digital World will be restored in no time."
Leomon's widened as he felt another tremendous power heading his way. He looked up and suppressed his power. In the air, Burizalor was flying at full speed.
"Burizalor! I've got to stop him before he lays his hands on the Digi-Destined! I must act now before everything is lost!"
Leomon heads out to continue his search for the children. He pushes through the brushes with his sword. He would then use his super speed to get him over long distances.
***************************************************************************************
Gabumon looked out at the sun and felt some bad vibes in the air. He started to look nervous and turned to face the others.
"You guys! I feel some really bad vibes heading this way."
The others turned to face Gabumon. The Digi-Destined had looks of panic on them, but Matt seemed to remain calm for some reason. Biyomon and the other digimon felt the same bad vibes as well.
"Whats wrong, Tentomon?" asked Izzy.
"I feel the same bad vibes that Gabumon is sensing. This is bad."
"Well, what is it?" asked Mimi.
"You don't want to know."
"C'mon enough of the suspense already," cried Joe.
Gomamon sighed and said, "Alright if you really want to know, it's the Easter bunny."
"Ha. Ha."
"Ok, you can't take a sense of humor. It's Burizalor and he's really pist."
"And what's so funny about that? That isn't funny at all! No sense of humor to when he beats the crud out of us!"
"You mean beat the crap? He's going to do more than just that."
"Yeah, then like what?!"
"Will you two just knock it off!" Sora ordered, "We don't have time for arguing. Burizalor would of found us by now if we stand around here. Plus he doesn't have to find us, he can just read our digimon's power levels and track us down like we're rats. Now I suggest we find a hiding place, before he finds us."
Sora and Matt led the group away from the base and into the forest. Sora kept an eye on Matt to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. Tai was the one person on her mind right now.
"If Tai were here, we wouldn't have all this arguing. I'm pretty sure Birdramon was hovering over this area. I had pointed to a nearby cave where we could hide."
As the group continued on towards the ends of the forest, a large cave was just ahead of them. Sora pointed out to it.
"There! I saw that cave a couple of hours ago while Birdramon and I were looking for some hiding places."
"You picked a good spot to hide out in," said Matt, "But you think Burizalor will still find us?"
"I doubt it but we have to try. Would you rather be killed?"
"I want to face him and have Metal Garurumon show Burizalor a thing or two."
"Well you can't. Metal Garurumon is not ready. I can't believe your letting your ego get the best of you. Your not like that."
"Just let me order Metal Garurumon to attack."
"No, Don't do it, Matt! We wait until Tai recovers then War Greymon will get the job done."
Suddenly, Matt started laughing. The others were confused. Sora was even more puzzled. Matt was laughing for no reason.
"Tai? He's out. War Greymon won't be coming anytime soon. I say you let me take charge. I can handle this situation."
"No, Matt! I'm responsi-"
"Shut up, Sora!"
This silenced Sora and Matt was smiling with a dark glare on his face. He turns to face Gabumon.
"You willing to fight Burizalor?"
"But Matt, I'm not at all strength."
"Not if I'm by your side. I have faith in you and I have faith in myself. I'll prove to everybody that I'm good as a leader a Tai is. I'm going to step out of Tai's shadow."
"Geez. These guys love to argue a lot," Chuumon thought. "Here I thought debate amongst us digimon was more civilized. These humans make us look like geniuses."
Gabumon stood there, not knowing what to think. He couldn't say no to his partner because we was destined to protect Matt at all costs. But he didn't like Matt's new attitude that seems to upset his friends.
"Matt. Whatever. Whatever you want."
"That's the way, Gabumon. Now you said he was arriving at his base."
"Yes." "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets meet him there before he gets to Tai. If anybody is going to defeat Tai, that reservation has been saved for me."
Suddenly, Sora stood in his way like a roadblock. This further angered the blonde-haired egomaniac.
"Get the hell out of the way, Sora!"
"No! Tai didn't leave you in charge because he knew that you would let leadership get to your head. He left me in charge because he knows I have responsibility."
"What do you know about responsibility?!"
"I know that it means looking after the welfare of other people and not letting your ego get the best of you. TK has grown up ever since we got here. He doesn't need protection from you anymore as long as he has Patamon with him."
Matt kept his ice, blue eyes on Sora and looked down at his hands. It looked like he was about cry. He turned to look at TK. He couldn't believe what he just heard. TK has become more mature since arriving in the Digital World. Maybe he didn't need the protection from his older brother as much anymore. He looked up at Sora. Sora stood her ground. And with a sheer anger, he shoves Sora down and runs out of the cave. Gabumon goes off and follows him.
"Matt! Why did you do that?"
"Don't ask so many questions now, ok?! She'll be ok."
"But you pushed her."
"Don't you go sticking up for her now! I should be in charge!"
"Um, Matt-"
"What?!" "Something is happening to the Digital Cores!"
"Huh?"
Matt looked up and saw the two Digital Cores suddenly run out of power and they fell to the ground. Matt and Gabumon watched as the four cores started to turn into stone.
"What happened, Gabumon? Did they run out of energy?"
"Oh no. It's worse than that," muttered Chuumon.
"What happened?"
"Gennai. He's. He passed on..."
"You saying he's dead, Chuumon?!"
"Yes. He is the key to the Digital Cores and only the cores can release the four Holy Beasts. And here's the worst part, the Holy Beasts are the only ones to revive and create new cores. But now it's totally impossible."
"Not if I have anything to say about it!"
Matt turned to see Sora walking up to him. Her sweet, innocent eyes turned into burning coals of anger and bitterness
"I don't have time to argue with you."
"Like hell you aren't. Why the hell did you push me?!"
"I pushed you so I can get out of that cave! I'm not scared of Burizalor! You hear me? And now Gennai is dead, what are we supposed to do? Well I'm not going to wait around here! I'm taking action now, whether you or Tai like it or not!"
Sora kept her angry eyes locked onto Matt's. Suddenly Matt started to tremble and stutter slowly. His eyes widened in fear. Sora was concerned.
"Matt? What's wrong?"
"Be-Be-hind you..."
"Huh?"
Sora turned around and looked up. Her eyes widened in fear as well. TK and the others noticed this and went outside to check on them. Sora yelled to them.
"No! You stay in the cave now!"
Sora looked up at the evil that stood on top of the cave. A horned, long-tailed monster with armor was looking down at them with a scouter around his head. He coldly glared at them and smiled.
"Burizalor!" the children exclaimed.
"So you're the ones, huh? Amazing. I just don't see how you children and your digimon managed to defeat the most elite fighting team in the Digital World, but your momentum ends here. Now look what you've done. You've destroyed my dream of immortality! Its ok, what I'm about to do to you all is not a quick death but a slow and painful torture that you will never forget. Death is upon you children. Ha. Ha."
The Digi-Destined have come face to face with Burizalor. And with the Digital Cores useless and Gennai dead, they are left to fend off the Digital World's most powerful evil. Can Tai and Agumon recover in time to save their friends?

Tai: Hi! It's Tai! While Agumon and I recover, my comrades are left to deal with Burizalor himself! Keep your guard up and don't keep your eyes off this speedster!
Matt: Burizalor! We're going to settle the score right here!
Burizalor: Yamato, you never seem to amaze me.
Metal Garurumon: Burizalor! My power has grown and we're ready to overthrow you! Yamato is right! We're the legendary warrior destined to defeat you!
Burizalor: You still believe in that fairytale? Very well, this fairytale will end tragically! Behold my transformation!
Children: Transformation?!

Coral: Cool! I hope you've enjoyed that! We're now down to the showdown with the Digi-Destined against Burizalor. Can the children pull it off against the destroyer of digital worlds?
Max: I'd whoop his ass if I wanted to!
Keke: Of course, you're an ascendant. We'd both kick his ass.
Coral: Well, you two aren't fighting him. It's up to you're future family to beat him. If he kills them, you two won't even be born.
Ryoko: That would terribly suck for you two.
Yusuke: Dying is a bitch. I've been down that road before.
Anthony: It's make or break for the Digi-Destined. Will they overcome the terror?
Alan: We'll just have to see then.
Coral: Speaking of which, I was told that SSJ4T saw the recent Freddy vs. Jason movie. He said it was pretty enjoyable. So because of that, our next guests will once again be Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees.
Max: Cool, but I still want to kick that Burizalor's ass. He and I have never crossed paths.
[Burizalor comes flying through the roof.]
Burizalor: Are you the one called Max Kamiya?
Max: That's me. So we meet at last.
Burizalor: We will begin our duel on the next chapter segment. Until then…
Coral: That's my line, dammit! Until then, peace out everyone!

Coral, Skull Satan, Marine Devilin, Metal Tyrannus and Burizalor are created characters of mine and I won't let anyone use them without my permission.
Coral: Hey, dudes! We're back! We're still gathering shit together for our party, but I just want to remind you that we will eventually have on during the course of the Burizalor Saga.
Max: I'm still waiting for that punk ass, Burizalor. He wants to fight me? He's in for a surprise.
[Burizalor goes flying through the roof. He levitates down and faces the ascendant warrior.]
Burizalor: Max Kamiya. Why don't we get started then?
Max: You're move.
[Burizalor and Max start battling out it out. They fly out through the roof. The evil tyrant trades blows with Max.]
Burizalor: Not bad for a young warrior.
Max: You're not so bad yourself. I don't really need to go ascendant to kick your ass.
Burizalor: Well, by all means, give me your best effort.
Coral: While those two duke it out, our guests today are horror flick icons, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees!
[Jason comes lumbering in and sees a Freddy fan cussing him out. The hockety-masked psycho impales the guy with his machete. Freddy comes jumping in.]
Freddy: Hey, everyone! I'm you're worst nightmare! Hey, it's that saiyan bitch! Once Burizalor gets done playing with Max, I want a piece of him!
Coral: So you two actually made a box office hit this weekend?
Freddy: We'll just have to see. Thanks to fans of my series and ol' retard over here, we'll most likely have a sequel.
Alan Wilkinson: Hey, Freddy!
Freddy: Aren't you that reviewer of SSJ4T? You got your turn last time! Now it's my time!
Alan: Not today. I'll beat your ass since Max has his hands full.
Freddy: Bring it on then, punk!
[Freddy attempts to throw a tranquilizer at Alan, but he jumps away and speeds up towards him. He gives Freddy an elbow shot and snaps his arm. Freddy screams in pain. Alan takes Freddy's clawed glove and impales him with it. Freddy struggles as he walks towards Alan. Alan's fist glows and he gives the dream killer a powerful blow to the gut. Freddy is sent flying back through a window.]
Coral: Damn! I really don't think Freddy will be the same! Hey, Jason. Why don't you give Freddy a hand? Jason?
[Jason grabs a nude girl and breaks her in half. He tilts his head and hacks her up with his machete.]
Coral: he sure loves his machete. Anyway, while a reviewer beats the crap outta Freddy, let's get on with the fic. Enjoy it.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Burizalor's Madness! His Power Grows to One Million!
Back at the base, just yards away from the last scene, Tai was resting peacefully in the medical room. He was tossing and turning as if he were having a nightmare. Agumon was still recuperating from injuries within his healing chamber. Both do not realize that a powerful evil was just outside with their friends.
***************************************************************************************
Matt and Sora looked up in total fear at Burizalor. Gabumon and Biyomon stood their ground and protected their partners, despite being inferior to the eyes of the evil tyrant. Burizalor looked down and began taking readings from his scouter.
"Hmm. I don't have a reading on the power levels of the Demon Corps anywhere. So it's true. You weaklings managed to defeat the Digital World's most elite fighting force. Now I understand how you did it. It's no surprise that your crests enabled your digimon to gain more power. I have studied the power of your crests. Courage. Friendship. Love. Knowledge. Sincerity. Reliability. Hope. Light. One of you is rumored to be the one ultimate being that will overthrow me? Not if I take care of that problem myself."
Sora and Matt stood their ground. Burizalor started to crack his knuckles and keep his eyes on the both of them.
"What do we say we get this started with? I know how anxious you all are to settle it one and for all."
Burizalor hovers down and observes the Digi-Destined. A smirk came over his face and places his hand on his chin.
"I find it hard to believe that you defeated the most feared digimon known in the Digital World. You seven have been quite every lucky. But your luck ends here."
Suddenly he notices only seven of the Digi-Destined. Tai and Agumon were the ones missing, as they were still recuperating in the medical chamber within the base.
"Seven? There was supposed to be eight children here? Wait a minute, where is the child of courage?"
"Where ever he is won't matter to you, because we're going to take you down," Matt said, "Gabumon is going to be the one that defeats you once and for all!"
Burizalor turns to look at Matt. He remembered that he had confronted Matt and offered to join to join his army.
"Well Yamato. It's nice seeing you again. So have you reconsidered in rejoining my army? You would make a better replacement for Piedmon. I could use a warrior of potential. You could train Metal Garurumon to become a killing machine."
"Deals off, Burizalor! Lets just say that I quit. I rather have free will and being a Digi-Destined is my destiny. Gabumon and I are here to protect the Digital World from scum. You're the biggest scumbag. Serving for you would want me to make me puke!"
"Yes, that's right, Matt. Let it all out! Your hatred for me is just fueling my motivation to killing you. It really doesn't matter now, since I can fend for myself. I have everything that I need, except for one small thing."
"And what's that?" asked Sora, while she was clenching his fists, "Our heads on your mantle?"
"No. I'll tell you what. My desire to become immortal! You maggots took away the digicores that I searched for! I was to become god of the digital universe and you took it away! For that, it will be a quick death for you, Digi-Destined!"
Suddenly, the Digi-Destined started to feel the ground shake. At first, it seemed like a disastrous earthquake. But there was an energy reading coming from it. The Digi-Destined watched to see a wave of energy surrounding Burizalor. He was powering up his maximum power.
"Hurry, guys! Out of the cave," ordered Sora, "Don't let the energy frighten you! We are together on this one!"
The other Digi-Destined ran out of the cave with their digimon. They all stood their ground behind Sora and Matt. Maybe Sora was right. If they all stood together, it would be able to beat such a terrible monster such as Burizalor. It was seven of them against one.
"Stand back, everybody! We got this! He can't beat us all at once," Sora said.
Matt turned towards Sora and nodded. Everybody else was frightened. The digimon were even more frightened. Never before have they felt such a radical power from one being.
"I can't believe what I'm actually saying. Of course we don't stand a chance. We may outnumber him, but we don't have a chance at winning this one. Burizalor is not like any other evil force we faced before. If only Tai and Agumon recover."
Burizalor continued to power up his frightening power and the earthquakes were becoming more devastating as lands started to open up with large crack. Large rocks were rising from the large amount of energy being released.
Even Tai and Agumon felt the tremendous power while in their resting periods. The whole Digital World felt the tremendous power surge.
**************************************************************************************
While on his way through the jungle areas in the Digital World, Leomon stopped as he felt a tremendous energy rise. His eyes widened in fear and he held his ground.
"My goddramon, what a horrible power. X was right! I never felt anything like this! If I knew any better, Burizalor probably has found the Digi-Destined by now! I can't allow him to destroy them! They are our only hope in winning this battle. Gennai is gone and the four Digital Cores have lost their power. I must get there as fast as I can!"
Just as Leomon was heading towards the direction where the former Spiral Mountain stood, he felt another energy just nearby. It was a dying power level.
"What? I feel a weakening power just nearby. I hope it isn't one of the Digi-Destined, especially the ones of Light and Hope. If they die, then all hope is lost."
To Leomon's surprise, what he found wasn't one of the Digi-Destined. On the ground was a near-death Kaiser Veedramon. Leomon looked down and recognized him.
"Veedramon! What happened here?"
Kaiser Veedramon was unable to speak as he looked up at Leomon. He was coughing as if he were choking.
"Well I bet you had better days."
"Oh, you're telling me..."
"What happened here?"
"Leomon. It's you. So. Good. To see you and you just arrived a little too late..."
"Tell me what happened here?"
"Buri-Buri-Burizalor."
"Burizalor? Which direction did he go to?"
Kaiser Veedramon didn't have enough energy to lift his hands and point out, but he turned his head towards the left. Loemon could read his head gesture and point out to the left. Leomon could sense a powerful evil reading from that direction. He could easily tell that is belongs to Burizalor.
"Well. Thanks for pointing it out old friend."
"Wait don't leave me..."
"Hmm?"
"I can sense your power. X must have given you a special power to control your digivolving process. He knew that you would have some sort of trouble trying to digivolve into your mega form."
"Yes I know that."
"Well with that power, maybe, you could of beaten Burizalor for sure."
"What?"
"Yes. With that power boost you would have beaten Burizalor a long time ago that's for sure."
"Why didn't X tell me beforehand?"
"He didn't figure that you would stand a chance, but when he took a reading of your power. He came to a conclusion that you had a force that would rival that of Burizalor's."
"Then I know what I must do."
"Becareful, Leomon. I fought him. I know what he's like. Beware you better not underestimate his power..."
"You have my word on that, old friend."
"Go before the Digi-Destined are lost forever..."
With that being said, Kaiser Veedramon faded away instantly. Leomon got up and looked towards the direction where the dragon pointed out.
"So it is my duty to protect the Digi-Destined. Then it will be something that I shall do! Burizalor, you may be the strongest being in the Digital World, but you are not immortal. You shall feel the wrath of the Fist of the Beast King! Hang on, kids! I'm coming!"
Leomon hovered up and boosted his energy in order to reach to the battle field at a faster pace.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the ground was started to crack open and forests started being wiped away by the tremendous force that was genetrating from Burizalor's power up.
The Digi-Destined watched in horror as Burizalor was powering up. The evil monster stopped and coldy stared down the frightened kids.
"So what do you think of my power, Digi-Destined? Are you scared? Don't worry. This is just the beginning. Yamato, this is especially for you. Since you won't join me, I'll have the pleasure in killing you and licking your blood off of my hands.
The digimon got in front of their partners like shields and were ready to digivolve to take Burizalor apart.
"You are fools! How dare you challenge me! You know that even with your combined powers, you can't lay a finger on me. I'll show you a thing or two about power."
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence]
"Alright, guys! This is it! The fate of the Digital World, and perhaps the fate of our own! Biyomon, you ready?"
"Yeah!"
"Gabumon!"
"Right with you!"
"Tentomon!"
"Kicking it!"
"Palmon!"
"Lets kick some digi-butt!"
"Gomamon!"
"Holla if you're ready!"
"Patamon!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Gatomon!"
"Ready to make Burizalor my new scratching post!"
The Digi-Destined held up their digi-vices and shouted out all together.
"DIGIVOLVE!"
Seven beams of light came out of their digivices and the crests. They gave the digimon the power to digivolve. Burizalor watched as his scouter went off.
"Gatomon shinka! Angewomon!"
"Patamon shinka! Angemon! Angemon chou shinka! Magna Angemon!"
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon! Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
"Palmon shinka! Togemon! Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon! Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Biyomon shinka! Birdramon! Birdramon chou shinka! Garudamon!"
"Gabumon warp shinka to! Metal Garurumon!"
All seven digivolved warriors were ready to take on the most powerful force known in the digital universe. But Burizalor didn't seem to show any signs of fear. He stood there and held out his hand.
"Alright, brace yourself gang!" shouted Metal Garurumon.
The others nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a large, rocky ledge appeared out of the ground. The seven digimon shot out their trademark attacks and shattered it to pieces.
"Alright great shot you guys," Sora cheered on.
Matt nodded and said, "No, they didn't get him. Just take a look for yourself."
As the rocky wall shattered, a huge beam came straight at the digimon. They all managed to maneuver out of the way. Metal Garurumon senses another beam coming right at them. Burizalor turned to their direction and held out his hand once again. He shots out another powerful beam of energy. The digimon maneuvered out of the way to avoid the blast. The two blasts shattered several rocky cliffs.
"Alright! Full digimon attack," Garudamon called out.
Lillymon and Zudomon maneuvered around Burizalor. Burizalor shot out several blasts at the two. Lillymon flew up and shot out her Flower Cannons. Zudomon nails his Zulcan's Hammer. Burizalor pointed two fingers out and cancelled both of their attacks.
"Our attacks got cancelled out!"
"What now, Lillymon?"
"Leave it to me! Alright Burizalor, take a taste of my Horn Buster!"
Burizalor saw Altur Kabuterimon shooting his attack at him. Burizalor phases behind him and blasts him away. Altur Kabuterimon goes crashing through a rocky ledge. Angewomon and Magna Angemon flew above Burizalor, ready to make their move.
"Lets give him a piece of our holy power, Magna Angemon."
"Allow me, Gate of Destiny!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"You got to be damn kidding me," Burizalor said as he shot out a blast, canceling out the Gate of Destiny.
He saw the arrow coming right at him. Burizalor hovers up and chopped the arrow in half with his own hands.
The Digi-Destined were shocked to what they saw. Burizalor was dominating thus far, canceling out each attack being thrown at him. His speed was beyond that of the digimon's. Burizalor phases in front of Angewomon and punches her right in the gut and elbows her, sending the angel down to the ground. Magna Angemon went to swipe at Burizalor with his saber, but Burizalor phases out and head butts into Magna Angemon's face. Burizalor then blind swipes Magna Angemon with a beam that sent him flying down.
"This doesn't look good, Matt," Sora said with fear in her tone of voice.
"I know. We should have never underestimated him. But he hasn't fought Metal Garurumon yet! He'll give Burizalor the challenge he's been looking for!"
Garudamon hovered over Burizalor and shot out her Wing Blade. Burizalor phases above her and shoots out a ray of powerful energy that repelled the large bird. Burizalor flew down and knocks her to the ground. The other digimon gather around to help Garudamon. Burizalor phases out and holds out his hand. He shoots out another ray of deadly energy. It went hurling straight at the digimon. This one blast would be powerful enough to wipe out the most powerful of digimon.
"Garudamon!"
"Zudomon!"
"Lillymon!"
"Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Magna Angemon!"
"Angewomon!"
Suddenly, within a split second, Metal Garurumon appears in front of the blast and knocks it away with his ice blast with incredible force. The beam goes hurling into a nearby mountain. An explosion takes place. The mountain was now nothing more than a pile of rubble.
The Digi-Destined watched in awe as Metal Garurumon and Burizalor lowered their power. They had a stare down. Who would of thought that Metal Garurumon would knock away one of Burizalor's deadliest attacks.
"Not bad. I got to say that you managed to improve over your battles against my elites. Metal Garurumon. Maybe it's true. Maybe you might be able to give me the challenge that I need."
"That's right. You want to know why," Matt said with a sly smile, "Because he's the ultimate force that will bring you down and end your reign of terror!"
Burizalor froze in shock and looked to Matt. Then he turns to face Metal Garurumon.
"Metal Garurumon is the one. I hardly doubt so, Yamato. But we'll see shall we?"
Matt only replied with a smile on his face. This really irritated Burizalor even more.
"Yes, we shall see. But that's if I allow it," Burizalor screamed in rage as he flew right at Metal Garurumon.
Both of the super powers clashed and locked up in a test of strength. Both were so strong that a shield of energy was surrounding them. A large hole was forming under their feet. The Digi-Destined watched in awe, but Matt held his crest to give Metal Garurumon more power needed to defeat the awesome power of Burizalor.
"Wow. I never knew that Metal Garurumon had this much power before. His power almost rivals that of War Greymon. If he just keeps it going like this, maybe just maybe we can beat Burizalor for sure,"Sora thought to herself.
TK then had inner thoughts.
"Go! Finish him, Metal Garurumon! We can win this thing, brother!"
Metal Garurumon and Burizalor's powers were rising to new heights and were almost evenly matched. Burizalor read his scouter and was shocked at what he read. Metal Garurumon's power was suddenly rising quickly. He never anticipated this.
"What? How did you get this large amount of power? Ha! But of course, Yamato is feeding you with his Crest of Friendship. It's obvious already. Alright playtime is over!"
Just as Burizalor said that, his scouter shattered into pieces due to the tremendous power increase from both fighters.
"Don't hesitate now, Metal Garurumon! This is it," shouted Matt. The others watched on. They pondered what Burizalor might do next.
"Prodigious! The power from Matt's crest was able to boost Metal Garurumon's power and he was able to even up with that of Burizalor's. Something is about to go down here,"Izzy thought to himself.
"Burizalor, sure doesn't look like he's in a good mood. But then again, when is he never?" Mimi said to herself.
Joe made a comment to himself,"I hope I made my will to this."
"Look at Burizalor. It seemed as though all that attacks didn't even faze him. He looks so calm," Sora thought.
"Nice try, Metal Garurumon! We'll be ready for him now!"
"Yes. That's right, Yamato. Your ready to die, that's what your ready for."
"Matt! You better not make any stupid decisions, he'll kill you if your not careful," Sora shouted, "You hear?"
"Yes! I heard you! Mind your own business! This is our fight!"
"Matt! Don't be such a dumb ass and let leadership get to your head. We're here to win!"
"Hmph. Don't you think I realize that, Sora. Let us handle this."
Matt and Burizalor looked at each other, eye to eye. Metal Garurumon was about to make his next move but Matt stopped him.
"Why don't you attack? Like you said you were."
"Oh I am. I'll tell you what. Since you're looking for a challenge. Perhaps I will bring it to you then. As far as you know, I can increase my power level during certain battles but never before was I forced to transform."
"Hmm?"
The word 'transform' was making the Digi-Destined more nervous, because it would be like Burizalor was going to digivolve.
"Transform?! That doesn't sound too good," TK nervously said.
He noticed Kari trembling in fear. He held her hand to keep her calm.
"Well c'mon, Burizalor. Show us your real power. Lets see how much your power increases. Metal Garurumon and I are looking forward to it."
"Let me just warn you, Yamato. My power is way too radical for even your digimon to handle. But if that's what you want. I let it out! And then you'll beg for me to stop when it's all over."
"Just get the damn transformation over and done with!"
"Matt! You don't even know what you're getting yourself into," shouted Sora, "You're going to get killed! Stop this now!"
Matt turned away from Sora and smiled.
"Well Yamato. Prepare to meet your fate. Here it goes..."
Suddenly Burizalor's body started to emulate a bright glow. Matt and Metal Garurumon shielded their eyes from the bright glow.
Tai and Agumon felt Burizalor's tremendous power rising. They were missing out on all of the action, due to the fact that they needed injuries to heal.
The ground around the battlegrounds was starting to shake. Now the earthquakes were bigger than the last time. This time, the cracks in the ground started to open up and landscapes started to cave down into the underground.
The Digi-Destined couldn't do anything but watch in horror. TK and Kari were even more frightened. Never has such an individual have much radical power. Burizalor continued to power up and screams. Matt and Metal Garurumon held their ground and witnessed the whole transformation sequence that Burizalor was making.
Within seconds, Burizalor pushes forward and his armor shatters into pieces. Metal Garurumon watched as Burizalor was standing there without any armor.
"So that was your transformation? I was expecting a little bit more. Your power is still the same."
"Ha. Oh Yamato. Your digimon is so naive. You two would have been the greatest servants. You would have led my army to conquer your world. Why do you choose to remain on the side of these Digi-Destined weaklings?"
"Because there's something I have that you don't have. I have friends and I will do anything to protect them, my brother and humankind. Its monsters like you that disgust me. I can't believe I served you. I'm not that type. We'll fight you to the end."
"Oh really? Well, how do you like to end up the same way as the very first Digi-Destined that were here."
"Huh? What you do mean? There were Digi-Destined, before us?"
"You have no idea, and they said the exact same thing to me. Ah. I can just remember as if it were yesterday."
Flash Black
A group of five children were standing around and pointing up to a large group of air pods. They started firing down at the five children. The children managed to hide out into an cave to avoid any more attacks.
A much younger Gennai was blasting away through several soldiers that were sent to kill him. He was hiding one of the Digital Cores. That he was going to deliver to the Digital Gods.
***************************************************************************************
Just miles away from the battle scene, there was a large chamber room. Piedmon and Lady Devimon came walking in.
"Lord Burizalor, we have spotted Gennai and the five human children. What is it, that you want us to do with them?" Piedmon asked.
"Shall we kill them?" Lady Devimon said.
Burizalor turned to face them. He smiled and hopped off his seat.
"But of course. But leave Gennai alive. I would like to have a few words with him. The Digital Cores must be with him. But as for the children, find them and make sure they don't interfere with my plans."
"Yes sir!"
"But of course."
Burizalor walked out of his chamber and looked out into the Digital World. He thought to himself.
"Was it really worth it to come here? I'm already the most powerful being. But alas, I have heard so much of the human world. I've been dying to go there, more lands to conquer and more people to enslave."
**************************************************************************************
As eons pass during that time, Gennai made it through a dimensional warp in order to meet up with the four Holy Beasts. One of them was a rather, large dragon and it spoke in a thunderous voice.
"So did you collect the Digital Core, along with the tags and crests?"
"Yes. All eight should be here."
Gennai pulls out all but one of the crests and tags.
"Gennai, I see only seven. Where is the Crest of Light?"
"What? Oh no. I must of have dropped it while trying to get away from Piedmon's forces!"
"What should we do now?"
"I do not know. But if I were to go back out there, Burizalor would have me captured and killed. He wants nothing more than the four Digital Cores."
"Then we must make sure he doesn't get to them."
"Right."
**************************************************************************************
Gennai was running away from several of Burizalor's forces. Burizalor managed to top Gennai. Burizalor phased behind Gennai and nails him in the back.
"Poor, pathetic Gennai. Did you really think you had a chance against me? So tell me, when are the so-called chosen children coming into this world?"
"I'll never tell you. You disgust me. You're a parasite. You're a virus to this world. I won't allow your kind to come here ever again!"
"Such bold words, now say your prayers!"
Suddenly a large portal opened up and it started to suck in every virus digimon that has invaded during these devastating times.
"Ha! So you managed to tell the gods to return us back to the dark world where we belong. Well, don't be too sure that you've won this battle. Because I will come back and have my revenge upon you and this pathetic world! Ha! Ha!"
And with that every part of Burizalor's army and forces were sent back to the dark realm, especially Burizalor himself. Those were many years ago.
End of Flashback
Burizalor stood there laughing while the Digi-Destined listened to his story.
"Gennai, pretty much kept me and my forces out of the Digital World for a long while. But then Gennai started to realize that he was too old for his job and eventually aged. Overtime, you all, with the exception the child of light, showed up in the Digital World. You eventually received your tags and crests. You were destined to protect this world. But you never anticipated my return when you left back to your world. There I got my revenge that I was savoring."
Flash Back
After the seven Digi-Destined left to stop Myotismon in their world, the Digital World was left unguarded and the Digital Gods were slowly losing power after another portal from the dark world opened up. Burizalor was back and stronger than ever.
Overtime, Burizalor's forces overwhelmed the Digital World's defenses. Metalseadramon, Machinedramon and the Demon Corps sealed away the four Holy Beasts, which allowed Burizalor to take advantage of a weakened Digital World.
"This looks too great. So Lord Burizalor, how do you like our new ruling grounds?" asked Piedmon.
"Hmmm. Perfect. All we need are the Digital Cores. Machinedramon. Metalseadramon. I want you two to locate two of those cores, don't return without them."
"Yes sire," the two machines replied in order.
As time passed on, Spiral Mountain was formed. Burizalor was in possession of three of the Digital Cores. He seemed pleased that is until Puppetmon came running in.
"Your lordship. The eight Digi-Destined have arrived. Shall we call for the forces to attack?"
"Yes. Please do so. At last, the eight chosen children have arrived. Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Koushiro, Mimi, Hikari, Takeru and Jyou. The time for your deaths has come."
With that said, he crushed his glass of wine that he was drinking and smiled at the thought of killing the eight children.
End of Flashback
"Ha. Ha. You should have been there to see all of the chaos and destruction. All those dying digimon, lives being lost. I will have complete control of this world and then I shall move onto yours."
"I don't think so," Matt replied, "You may have destroyed millions of lives and conquered worlds, but you will never damage our pride as the Digi-Destined. You may strong now but you will be shocked to see when you realize the true power of our crests. We finish this till the end! You got that? You're not welcome here. Metal Garurumon, time to kick his sorry ass back to the dark world he came crawling out of."
This pep talk made Burizalor furious. His power was slowly rising with sheer anger adding to it.
"Now you're really starting to piss me off, Yamato! You sure love to talk the talk. But can you walk the walk, when you witness my first transformation. Allow me to show you Digi-Destined, something that not even the former children and Gennai were unable to see in their lifetime."
The Digi-Destined felt a tremendous dark energy coming from Burizalor as the ground started to shake. Burizalor clenced his fists and his body started to shake. His screams were becoming high-pitched and slowly deepened. The digimon watched on in total fear. The first transformation of Burizalor was beginning.
"Oh man," Joe screeched, "We're toast. I better sign my will."
"This is such a terrible power!" TK said.
Kari started to scream and fall to her knees. The others crowded around her to protect her. Kari was covering her ears and crying. Chuumon has never felt such a frightening power. It was even greater than even hundreds of digimon armies.
Burizalor's body formed bony-plate armor over his body. His body erected to a ten-foot tall stature. His legs and arms got bigger in size. His tail became a little bit longer. His face widened and two long bullhorns appeared at the sides of his head like a Brahma bull. Muscles started to bulge out and it looked like Burizalor had taken tons of steroids.
When he got done transforming, the Digi-Destined watched in horror. Now the real nightmare was beginning.
"Oh my god what madness!" Matt said to himself.
"Look what you done, Matt! Now we have to face a nightmarish monster," screamed Sora.
Kari was still shaking in fear and crying. TK was comforting her.
"Tai. We need you. Please hurry."
Burizalor turned to face them and a sadistic smile formed on his face. His voice was deepened into a satanic-like voice.
"Well, children. This is it. My transformation. Does anybody want a crack shot at me?"
Matt and Metal Garurumon were now showing fear and couldn't get words out. None of the Digi-Destined had anticipated the turn of events before. But now, they are left to fight a monster with no conscience and no remorse.
***********************************************************************************
Back at the base, even Tai and Agumon could feel the sudden increase of Burizalor's power.
"Oh man! What a horrible power! Burizalor's power has grown tremendously. I've got to wake up from this sleep and help my friends. But Agumon isn't ready to go out yet in his condition. But I still have to help my friends! This is just hopeless!
************************************************************************************
Burizalor laughed satanically as he approached the seven frightened children. The digimon were ready for anything Burizalor was going unleash.
"Whats the matter, Digi-Destined? You never seen anything as powerful as this? It's a pity. Yamato, you're speechless. I thought you were asking for a challenge. Or are you having second thoughts. You all brought this on yourselves and now you're going to regret for me having to transform into this form."
Suddenly, Burizalor shot out his long, tail and threw it at the Digi-Destined like a spear. The digimon were able to fight off his onslaught. That attack was sudden and unexpected. Now Burizalor's speed has increased along with his power.
"Wow. I didn't even see that," Sora said, "Are you all alright?"
"Yeah we're fine. TK, you ok?" Matt asked.
TK nodded while holding Kari. Kari was holding Chuumon in her tight grasp. Metal Garurumon and the other digimon turned towards Burizalor.
"We better keep an eye out for his attacks. He's faster."
"So are you all pleased with the results? You all managed to anticipate that last attack, most of my opponents never see it coming. I was impressed. Oh and I forgot to mention to you all one more thing. In this form, my battle power is now one million."
The Digi-Destined were shocked to what they had heard. Their previous enemies had only power levels in the thousands or hundreds, but never a monster with a million as a power level. Even the digimon were shocked to what they heard.
"You got to be kidding me!" Sora said, "One million? Tha'ts just impossible."
"No. Don't believe him. He's just saying that to intimidate you. I'm willing to bet that his power hasn't increased that much," Matt replied.
The others looked to Matt as if he were crazy. He didn't know what he was up against.
"So. I see you are all non-believers. Well, I shall demonstrate my in-depth power. Observe."
Burizalor held up a fist and energy was glowing around his body. This sudden increase of energy caused more earthquakes and winds started to blow harder due to the force of Burizalor's energy. This sent the Digi-Destined flying back. The digimon were able to catch them and felt Burizalor's power multiplying.
Now the whole Digital World felt the sudden increase. It was as if the whole Digi World was going to implode in any second. Every digimon hid away from the threat. The earthquakes have gotten a lot worse. Even Tai and Agumon felt the power of the monster that would soon claim more victims in a matter of moments.
Leomon stopped and was now scared to his wits. He has never felt such a horrible power coming from one being.
"Oh no! That's...got to be Burizalor! It seems as though he transformed. This isn't good! I must hurry!"
Burizalor stopped his sudden power increase and all of the disasters were put to a halt. The Digi-Destined were in shock as the entire ground was shattered. They were laid top of a rocky ledge, where the digimon placed them during the earthquake disaster. They couldn't believe how much energy one such creature generated and at the same time causing severe damage around his surroundings.
"Are you guys ok?" asked Matt.
"Yeah we're fine, Matt," replied TK, "But I don't think Kari will be ok. She looks to be scared. But I got her protected."
"She's just in sudden shock. Keep her safe," Sora said. "You alright, Chuumon?"
"Oh, just dandy. This girl has me protected, but you might want me to breathe a little here."
"Ha. Ha. What's wrong, you maggots? Are you all frightened? Well you should be. Today is the day that you will all die. Just think about it. This will be the perfect place where your graves shall be mounted. Would you all prefer, cremation or burial? The choice is yours. Now I shall decide which one of you will be the first do die."
Burizalor turns to look at the seven Digi-Destined and their digimon. They all tried to hide their fears but it was no use, since Burizalor was able to sense their fears. He turned towards the direction of TK and Kari. Where they his main targets? Then he turned to look at Sora and Matt. Or would they be his next victims. He took a step back and phased out.
The digimon were quick to intervene. They went to attack him head-on but Burizalor quickly faded away. The digimon turned around different directions to locate Burizalor.
Mimi was screaming her head off as Burizalor was flying at her. Joe pushed her aside and watched as Burizalor unleashed two blades out of his hands and rammed both blades through Joe's chest. The Digi-Destined watched in horror, as their comrade was the first victim.
"Joe! No!" screamed Mimi.
Sora was scared beyond her wits.
She screamed, "No! Joe!"
Matt was holding his two fists with sheer anger but at the same time fear.
Burizalor held Joe as if he were a speared fish. Joe wiggled and screamed in tremendous pain. Blood was coming from the deep wounds and Burizalor licked the blood off of his face.
Joe has become the first victim of Burizalor and the others could only look on in horror. Is there any stopping this mad man? Is there any more hope left?

I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X and Max, because Max Acorn created them and I got his permission to use them. Coral, Skull Satan, Marine Devilin, Metal Tyrannus and Burizalor are created characters of mine and I won't let anyone use them without my permission.
Coral: Hey, chicos! Welcome back to another edition of the Fusion series! We're getting through a pretty gruesome start. This is just the beginning. This battle will last a pretty long time. Speaking of long battles, Max and Burizalor have been at it for a long time.
[Shots of blasts are being fired from multiple directions. Burizalor flies after Max. He shoots out numerous energy shots, which Max was easily able to dodge.]
Burizalor: Damn! Hold still, maggot!
Max: At least you've managed to make me sweat. But you're no better than the Warlord.
Burizalor: Fool! I'm better than he is! When I get done with you, I'm going after that worm.
Max: Suit yourself. I think we should just finish this.
Coral: While those two are at it, I want to remind you that our big party will get underway in about a few chapters away. It's really three chapters away. This is your last chance to seek an invitation. Until then, enjoy the fic.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Stop Burizalor's Madness! The Children of Hope and Light Unite!
The Digi-Destined watched in horror as Burizalor held Joe like a harpooned fish. Joe was struggling with Burizalor's blades penetrating through his chest. He was barely alive and his face was turning pale as a cloud.
Mimi looked on in horror as her friend was being tortured at the hands of Burizalor. She has known Joe for only quite sometime. She always thought he was just a whiny dork, but she later realized that Joe is a good person who was always looking after the welfare of the others and was to be responsible.
"Joe! I'm coming," Zudomon shouted out as he flew up at Burizalor.
"Lillymon! Attack that monster! He wants to kill Joe, I don't care how strong he is, he doesn't know the true power of friendship," Mimi screamed in anger.
Lillymon nodded and flew up with Zudomon. Burizalor looked down and saw the two digimon coming to attack him. Burizalor phased out. Lillymon turned to fire her Flower Cannon at Burizalor. Burizalor deflected it. Zudomon threw in several fists at Burizalor but Burizalor was able to maneuver out of the way. Burizalor flew down and threw in a mighty fist to the face of Zudomon. Lillymon goes for a flying kick but Burizalor whips her away with his long tail.
"Joe! We're not going to give up!" Zudomon said.
"Lillymon! We have to try to help Joe! There maybe hope to still save him," Mimi screamed.
"Ha! Your attempts are useless! The more power you throw at me, the more Joe shall suffer more torment. The choice is yours. As far as your concerned, Joe, your life is now about to come to an end. What's that? Not enough pain? Here let me make it up to you."
Burizalor laughed as he pierced his blades deeper into Joe's wounds. Joe screamed in horrible agony as blood was spewing out. Burizalor was seemingly enjoying this.
Sora and Matt could only look on with horror as one of their own was being tortured at the hands of a monster with no conscience. Blood was splattering everywhere from Joe's wounds.
"We got to do something. But if we go in there and attack him, Burizalor will just make matters worse and kill Joe right there in an instant,"Sora said to herself,"But we have to act quickly! Before we lose him."
Matt turned towards Sora.
"Some leader Sora is turning out to be! It's her fault that Joe ended up like this. She tries so hard, yet he screws it all up. Hang in there, Joe. Don't go dying on us. We'll stop that monster at any cost."
Metal Garurumon and Garudamon flew up to attack next. Burizalor smiled and maneuvered out of the way. Burizalor shot down two ray beams at the two digimon. Metal Garurumon shot out his Ice Blast to cancel out the rays. Garudamon attempts to knock Burizalor out of commission with her Wing Blade. But the evil monster was able to maneuver out of the way and shoot out a beam that cancelled out the Wing Blade attack. Burizalor flew at Garudamon and slashed at her with his blades. Garudamon goes flying back. Metal Garurumon and Burizalor collided. Burizalor elbowed him in the face and slashed him with his blades.
"Ha! Your attempts are pointless. Why do you choose to attack me with your friend here is nearing his death. Thats not a right thing to do. Do you want him dead? Well it doesn't matter anyways."
Burizalor laughed and bounced Joe's body over like a rag doll. Joe's visions were starting to go blur. Burizalor twirled around with Joe's body.
"This is the end. I never managed to make out my will. Oh well. How are we supposed to beat this guy? Burizalor is just too powerful… Tai. War Greymon. Where are you? I really hope your healing is finished…"
***************************************************************************************
Back at the base, Tai was still resting in bed and Agumon was still in his healing chamber regaining his strength back. But, Tai rose out of bed and started to come to his senses.
"What? What happened? Hey, where is everybody? Sora? Matt?"
He got out of bed and looked towards the healing chamber where Agumon was contained.
"Agumon?! What happened to you? Huh? I don't remember that much after I feel asleep. Wait, I remember that Piedmon turned us into key chains. War Greymon was weakened from the battle. Then I started to weaken. I get it now. Huh?"
Tai looked at his digivice and there were readings from the other Digi-Destined and another reading from Burizalor.
"Oh no! Burizalor must have found them! His power has risen tremendously. I fear for the worst. It seems like he has digivolved into an even higher form. C'mon Agumon. You better hurry it up on your healing buddy. We don't have much time left."
**************************************************************************************
Back on earth, thousands have been anticipating the arrival of the Digi-Destined. It was thought that they would eventually return and it has been an awfully long while.
The children's parents could only wonder when their loved ones would return safely from their long adventure. Suddenly, their questions would be answered as the sky displayed the battle that was ensuing between the digimon and Burizalor.
Joe's brother watched on in horror. He saw Burizalor with Joe and piercing through his chest with his blades. The other parents gasped to see their children in the line of fire.
This battle would help determine the fate of the two worlds. If Burizalor defeats the children, then he will easily invade Earth and take it as his own. The Digi-Destined won't allow that to happen, for it is up to them to protect their loved ones back on Earth.
****************************************************************************************
The children looked on in horror as Burizalor continued his sick torture over a near dead Joe. Even the digimon couldn't do a damn thing due to the fact if anyone attacks, then Joe will suffer even more sick torture.
"So, are you getting tired up there, Joe? Or shall I inflict more pain to calm your nerves? I'm entertained by the sheer agony. I want to hear you scream."
Joe was slowly losing his consciousness. His vision was going blurry and fading to black.
"I wish there was something we could do, Kari," TK said, "I wish I could stop him, but if we attack, there's no telling when Burizalor is going to kill Joe. He could do it in an instant."
Kari nodded in agreement.
"Even Zudomon is afraid of losing him since he won't attack. Is there anything we can do?"
Joe had just lost consciousness. Burizalor took notice of this and stopped toying with him.
"Ha! That takes care of this one. Off you go!"
Burizalor pulls Joe off his blade and hoists him up. He then tosses Joe's wounded body down to the ground. Zudomon managed to phase out and catch his falling friend.
"Joe. Speak to me..." Zudomon said with anger.
He looked up at Burizalor with a possessed look of anger. TK's anger was arising and Magna Angemon took notice of this.
"Ha! Ha! So now that Joe is out of the picture, who wants to be next? Yamato? Sora? Mimi? Koushiro? Takeru? Hikari? It really doesn't matter to me. You'll die one by one."
Izzy was about to order Altur Kabuterimon to attack but TK pushed him aside. TK looked up at Burizalor with determination.
"No Burizalor! You'll be taking on my digimon next. And you feel the wrath of Magna Angemon. You. You. Murderer!"
Burizalor looked down and laughed until he felt something phase in front of him. Magna Angemon punched Burizalor in the gut and started hammering away at him. TK started throwing punches in the air, as if he were controlling Magna Angemon's movements. The others watched in amazement. Magna Angemon uppercuts Burizalor and flies up. He blasts several ki blasts at the evil monster. Burizalor managed to cancel them out. But Magna Angemon sends a ball of energy and rams it into the face of Burizalor. Burizalor goes falling down to the ground. Magna Angemon started to power up and form a wave of energy in his hands.
"Take this, Burizalor! I will make sure you don't kill anymore people again," TK screamed with a combination of determination and anger. His crest was giving Magna Angemon more power.
Magna Angemon blasted at Burizalor with more ki blasts. Now he was throwing them repeatedly. This was more than Burizalor could withstand. Matt and Kari took notice of this.
"Wow! Look at my brother go! He's obviously had seen enough. He's controlling Magna Angemon through his actions. I guess, its safe to say. We can be connected to our digimon when the situation gets drastic."
"Go TK! You can do it! Its time we put this monster in his place!
The other Digi-Destined watched on as the smallest child was controlling Magna Angemon in taking out the most fearsome monster in the digital universe.
Magna Angemon continued firing blasts down at his adversary. Then he formed a ball of holy energy over his head and risen it up.
Sora thought to herself,"Just look at his power."
"TK must have hidden powers within his crest that we don't even know about,"Izzy said.
"Avenge, Joe! You can do it, TK!" screamed Mimi.
TK screamed out, "Gate of Destiny!"
"Gate of Destiny!" Magna Angemon cried out as he formed a portal with his saber.
But instead of pulling Burizalor in, it shot out a powerful ray of energy and that shot down at the evil monster. Within seconds, there was a huge explosion and a gigantic cloud of smoke.
The Digi-Destined tried to look through the heavy smoke but it was too much to withstand. Magna Angemon was breathing heavily after throwing large amounts of energy. TK even looked exhausted.
"TK! Whoa, that was intense!" Matt said while coughing from the smoke.
"Yeah TK! You got him," Kari said.
TK looked down at the exact place where Burizalor was laying. He watched as the smoke cleared. Burizalor was laid out. A smile formed over TK's face.
"What the but that's impossible! Magna Angemon managed to put down Burizalor, but he's not destroyed!" Matt said.
TK looked down at Zudomon as he de-digivolved back to Gomamon. This was the result of power loss from Joe's crest.
"Joe. You're going to recover buddy. Please don't die on me."
Mimi went over to help Gomamon with Joe.
"Hey guys! Is he ok?" asked TK.
"He should be fine. At least he brought his medical equipment," replied Gomamon.
"Are you sure he'll be ok?"
"TK! We don't have time for that. If you thought you finished Burizalor just look!" Matt said as he pointed down to the fallen rubble.
TK gasped as he saw the monster rising up. Burizalor was getting to his feet and he seemed to be unscathed from the last attack. TK watched on with fear in his eyes.
"Takeru. I must admit. That really surprised me. Your digimon caught me off guard, but you're far from beating me."
"I can't believe this. Magna Angemon gave it everything he had!"
"Well you were wrong TK. Now you just pissed him off."
"I'm sorry Matt."
Burizalor hovered up and phased out. Magna Angemon looked around to anticipate his next attack but Burizalor phased behind him and nails him in the back with an elbow shot. Magna Angemon goes flying back and slashes at him with his saber. Burizalor blocked it with his blades and kicks him in the face.
"Magna Angemon! Look out!"
Burizalor strikes at Magna Angemon with his tail and wraps it around his neck like a noose. Magna Angemon gagged and attempted to break free, but Burizalor elbowed him in the chest. Magna Angemon goes flying down. Burizalor phases out and head butts him in the chest.
TK seemed to be falling on his knees and taking every blow that Magna Angemon was taking. The other Digi-Destined took notice of this.
Burizalor fired a shot at Magna Angemon, sending him crashing into the ground. Burizalor phases out again and blasts him away with a ray of powerful energy. Magna Angemon falls to the ground really hard and causing a crater to form. He quickly reverted back to Patamon.
"Oh no! He's back to Patamon. Its hopeless," TK said as he fell to his knees.
Kari gasped and ran over to him.
"TK. Please be ok."
Matt looked up at Burizalor with sheer anger for hurting his brother's digimon.
"Well. That was not very difficult. I think its time I put an end to that wing-eared bat pig. Ha! Huh?! What the hell?!"
Suddenly a sudden blast nails Burizalor. Metal Garurumon had shot out a missile at his adversary. Now he was preparing to unleash another one of his attacks.
"So you want to pick on creatures smaller than yourself? Not if I have anything to say about it. Take this! Ice Wolf Blast!"
There was smoke around Burizalor and Metal Garurumon seemed to have the upper hand.
Matt watched on with a smirk on his face.
"Never underestimate the power of friendship. Because our teamwork will lead to your downfall."
But soon, his smirk turned into a gasp of fear when the smoke cleared. Burizalor was still hovering and did not have a single scratch on him. Metal Garurumon couldn't believe it.
"Ha. You shouldn't be surprised at all, Yamato. Your futile attempts are pointless. Now if you excuse me, I have a settle to score with the bat pig then I will turn my attention to you."
Burizalor hovered down onto the battlefield and walked over to the fallen Patamon. He kicked him across like a soccer ball.
"So, Patamon. Do you want another crack shot at me?"
Patamon got up and was ready to fight.
"Boom Bubble!"
Burizalor cancels it out with a small beam. Patamon gasped in fear and was kicked to the side by Burizalor. Patamon laid there and was gasping for air. It seemed as though Burizalor knocked the wind out of him.
"Come on now. Don't tell me, I won with just one kick. I was expecting you to put up a better fight."
"Patamon shinka. Uh..."
Patamon fell to the ground and was unable to digivolve after taking a beating from Burizalor.
"Patamon...I'm sorry..." Tk said faintly.
"This isn't good at all!" Kari said, "Matt? Sora? We got to help Patamon! Please!"
Sora and Matt didn't know what to do next. Patamon was down fighting all alone. He's such a tough little guy but he is no match for Burizalor. Metal Garurumon couldn't even faze him, and neither could Garudamon.
Burizalor walked over to Patamon and picked him up. He delivers a thunderous kick to the small defenseless digimon like a soccer ball. Patamon goes flying up. Burizalor phases out and elbows Patamon in the gut. Patamon cries in tremendous agony after getting the tar beaten out of him. Burizalor flew down and caught Patamon.
"Going somewhere, my little friend? We're not done yet."
Burizalor tosses him to the ground. Patamon was crawling to get away but Burizalor followed right after him.
"TK is right. Even if our digimon is no match for Burizalor, we should at least have one of our fresh fighters to go in and save Patamon. That's it, Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Izzy! I'm going in there to save Patamon! Have the others cover for me."
"Be careful!"
Altur Kabuterimon flew in right at Burizalor. Burizalor phases out. Altur Kabuterimon turns to see Burizalor punching him hard in the face. Burizalor throws punches and tail swipes at Altur Kabuterimon, knocking the gigantic beetle down.
"Playing hero are we, Koushiro? Well that's not going to last any longer."
Burizalor slashes at Altur Kabuterimon with his blades and rams a fist into his gut. Altur Kabuterimon goes falling to the ground and holding his chest.
"Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Brother. Kari. I'm sorry. I've failed you..." TK faintly said, "I feel the same kind of pain Patamon is feeling."
Matt and Kari looked down at the battlefield.
Patamon was laying on the ground as Burizalor walked over to him. The cold-hearted monster placed his foot on Patamon as if he were about to crush him.
"Well Patamon. You managed to put up a very good fight, but your efforts were futile. Now say goodbye!"
TK struggled and cried out from the pain. The others did not know what to do next. However, a bright glow was surrounding Kari and she looked towards Burizalor with a look of intense anger. She looked like she was possessed.
****************************************************************************************
Tai looked into his digivice and then to Agumon.
"TK is in trouble! C'mon, Agumon! Hurry it up! I don't know how much more the others can take. Hopefully, they can hold him off for a while longer."
****************************************************************************************
Burizalor stood over a fallen Patamon and placed his foot on top of him. Patamon screamed in agony. Burizalor was about to crush him. The other digimon could only watch on in horror. Altur Kabuterimon was laid out. Gomamon was helping out with Joe. Lillymon and Mimi were helping Gomamon take care of Joe. Angewomon couldn't attack without the risk of having Patamon getting killed. Metal Garurumon was still in shock after getting overwhelmed by Burizalor.
"Patamon. Hang in there, buddy..." TK said faintly as he was losing consciousness.
Kari was holding the blonde boy in her arms and cried.
Burizalor laughed with malice. He kicked Patamon around a little more.
"Had enough yet, Patamon? No. Then I'll continue kicking you around like a soccer."
"Poor kid. He gave it his all, but Burizalor was still able to kick Patamon to the side like a rag doll. But TK shouldn't be upset with himself. We all underestimated Burizalor's power,"Matt thought.
"Pathetic. Hey, Metal Garurumon! Why are you being so heartless? Can't you see that this poor fellow needs help and you're too scared to even take another crack shot at me."
Metal Garurumon stood his ground and watched on. He just couldn't let Patamon suffer like this. But if he even attempted to attack Burizalor, then he would just anger Burizalor enough to kill Patamon.
"There must be a way for me to attack him. And at the sametime, make sure that Patamon doesn't get killed. I have no choice or else Patamon is history!"
"There, there. Patamon. The pain will subside."
Burizalor still had his foot on top of Patamon and ready to crush him at any opportunity. Patamon cried out in anguish and pain. They echoed for the other Digi-Destined to listen to. The madman's laughter over lapsed the cries within a matter of moments.
***************************************************************************************
Tai was walking back and forth as if he were waiting in a waiting room. It has been a long while since Agumon was placed in the healing chamber. Tai looked into the chamber and smiled at the thought of Agumon recovered. Tai took out his digivice and picked up readings, including a weakening power level.
"Somebody is losing their energy out there in the battle. Agumon, by the time you recover, it's going to be the next ice age. Oh no! Its Patamon's power reading! Things have gotten worse! I wish I could help but I need Agumon for this. War Greymon is needed! Ugh! C'mon Agumon..."
***************************************************************************************
Leomon was fighting through obstacles and brushes in order to reach the battlefield. He could of just flown over but he felt that some of Burizalor's special task forces would trace his power readings and track him down. Suddenly, he felt a power decrease from the grounds where the fight was taking place.
"Somebody's power level is beginning to decrease. It has to be one of the digimon that belong to one of the Digi-Destined. What?! It's the digimon belonging to the child of hope! I must hurry!"
Leomon thought to himself.
"Even I saw what happened the last time I encountered the child of hope. Yes, his digimon was the last digivolve. Angemon...
Flashback
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Angemon hovered above and faced his greatest adversary, Devimon. The other Digi-Destined could only watch in awe. Every one of their digimon was unable to beat Devimon, but Angemon was their last hope.
"Wow! Super cool!" exclaimed Sora.
"Nice hair!" commented Mimi.
"Angemon!" TK cried out.
Angemon looked down at Devimon and was ready to attack. Devimon went to snatch Angemon in attempt to destroy him.
"Ha! Ha! Come here, pretty boy!"
"Don't worry, I'll get him."
"There's no stopping me, Angemon!"
"I'll show you! HI-YA-EE!"
Angemon's Hand of Fate had enough power to put away one of the most evil creatures that ever terrorized the Digital World and at the same time, restored File Island to the way it was.
TK looked up at Angemon with tears in eyes. His newly digivolved digimon was disappearing before his very eyes. Angemon looked down and smiled to TK.
"TK. I'll come back if you want me to..."
"No! Angemon!"
End of Flashback
Leomon shook those thoughts from his head and proceeded on through the forest. He stopped and felt no readings from any of Burizalor's Special Task Forces. He let himself hover up and fly towards the scene of the battle. This way he gets there at a faster pace.
"Don't worry. This time, I'm on my way! Burizalor can not be allowed to win!"
With that being said, Leomon boosted his speed up and disappeared into the skies.
************************************************************
Burizalor walked over to the fallen Patamon and kicked him around. Metal Garurumon tried to make a move, but Burizalor turned to see him. He shot out a beam at Metal Garurumon to stop him in his place. Patamon cried out for anybody to help him out.
"TK, don't worry. I have seen enough," Kari said.
Suddenly her body started to glow a heavenly aura.
The other Digi-Destined took notice of this. Kari stood up on her two feet and she seems like she was possessed. She started to float up and look down at Burizalor.
"What is she doing?" asked Sora, "She's floating. Now this is getting weird! Kari! Get down from there!"
"Kari! What the hell do you think you are doing," Matt cried out.
"Now, I'm starting to lose it!" Chuumon exclaimed. "Is it just me or is that girl floating like thin air?!"
Kari put both of her hands up in the air and her voice become that of a woman's voice. It was as though a presence had completely taken over the child.
"Burizalor must not be allowed to win this fight. Angewomon, I shall give you more power. Maybe you will fend off that monster while I go and heal Patamon."
"Kari? Are you sure, you're ok? How could you possibly heal Patamon?"
"Don't question me. We must act now before we lose him."
"Right."
"Does Kari even know what he's getting herself into?" asked Matt.
Sora then replied with a nod, "I don't know, but it looks like Angewomon is about to make her move."
The others watched as Kari hovered down and looked out towards the battlegrounds. Angewomon suppressed her ki.
Burizalor continued his torture of Patamon, by kicking him around like a rag doll. The others have seen enough. Metal Garurumon felt a strong power about to make their move.
**************************************************************************************
Tai was tapping his foot impatiently and pressed his face against the chamber glass window.
"Agumon, are you taking a leak in there? Ok that's it! If you're not coming out, I might as well pull you out. We're not going to just stand around here all day while my friends are getting the crap beaten out of them. So here goes!"
Just as Tai was about to break the glass window, his digivice started to pick up a huge power reading. He gasped at what he saw. What he saw was something he didn't expect.
"What the heck?! It looks like somebody is about to make their next move and this one is probably strong enough to slow that creep down!"
Tai pondered at who it might be and waited for Agumon to finish his rest in the healing chamber.
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor stood tall over Patamon with a cruel smile on his face. He was ready to finish him off.
"Time to die, Patamon! Ha! Ha!"
Suddenly just as Burizalor was about to make his next move, there was a loud cry. Metal Garurumon and Burizalor looked up to see who it was.
"Celestial Arrow!"
Burizalor turned to see an arrow coming straight at him. He flipped up in order to maneuver out of the way. But the arrow managed to pierce through the tip of his tail. Burizalor howled in pain as he saw a section of his tail rip off.
"What?! It's that Angewomon! But how?! I thought I got rid of her just a while ago!"
He looked up to see Angewomon holding out her hands and ready to shot out another arrow. He then turned to see Kari hovering up in the same position Angewomon was.
"So, those no for nothing tricksters! They're like cockroaches! Step on one and another comes crawling out of the way!"
Angewomon phased away and reappeared behind Burizalor. She got ready to shot out more arrows. Burizalor noticed that Angewomon's power has increased and she has no scratches on her body.
"I could have sworn that I pounded her! She doesn't even have a single scratch!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
But instead of shooting one, Angewomon shot out several arrows at Burizalor. They all were swarming as if they were a horde of bees and were ready to strike down Burizalor any moment. But Burizalor shot out a beam of energy and deleted the arrows out into digital fragments.
"Burizalor!"
He turned to see Kari looking and pointing at him. Burizalor was very confused and thought that Kari was just delusional.
"What is it that you're trying to accomplish?"
"Your evil ways will come to an end. The Digital World is no place for parasites such as you. We will make sure that you are wiped out of existence."
Angewomon shot out more of her Celestial Arrows. Burizalor saw them coming and phased out of the way. Burizalor phased just above Angewomon and fired blasts at her. Angewomon held out her hand and deflected them. Burizalor flew up and swiped at her with several punches. Angewomon maneuvered out of the way and phased out. Burizalor followed her.
"Angewomon is taking it to him," Sora said, "Whatever Kari is doing for her. It's working."
"Yeah, you're telling me," Matt said.
Burizalor and Angewomon circled each other and shot out ki blasts at each other. Burizalor cancelled out each of Angewomon's holy blasts. Angewomon phased behind Burizalor and nails him with a kick to the back. Burizalor goes flying back and stops himself. He turns to ram his blades into Angewomon, but what he got was air. He turned to see Angewomon shot down more Celestial Arrows at him. Burizalor pushed them back with an incredible force. Angewomon phased out and appeared in front of Burizalor. She delivers a devastating kick to the face of Burizalor. Burizalor goes flying back.
"Angewomon. I think its time we end this fight," ordered Kari, "Heavens..."
"Heavens..."
"Charm!"
"Charm!"
Angewomon sent out a huge wave of holy energy straight at Burizalor. The evil monster attempted to deflect it with one of his blasts but the holy beam was too strong for even Burizalor to endure. An explosion had occurred.
Kari watched on and waited to see if it had any effect on Burizalor.
"Nice shot!" Izzy commented, "If that doesn't put him away, I don't know what will."
"What a way to put it to that jerk off!" Chuumon cried out.
"No way. He's done!" Matt said, "Kari and Angewomon have won it."
"I got to hand it to her. I never thought Kari had it in her. But she's not the Digi-Destined of Light for nothing," Sora stated.
Angewomon was catching her breath as the smoke was beginning to clear. Kari looked on, sighed and nodded.
"What's the matter, Kari?" asked Angewomon.
Kari replied, "We didn't get him."
"What?!"
She was correct when the smoke cleared. Burizalor was still hovering and was unscathed.
"But that's impossible!"
"I knew something like that would happen. Even our powers aren't a match for his."
"But those attacks should be effect against anything evil."
"He's not even a virus digimon. So it's nothing more than a mosquito bite to him."
"Those were some nice fireworks. You almost knocked the breathe out of me. You are more than just a pretty face. However, your going to have to much better than that if you have any high hopes in winning this battle."
"What should we do now?"
"We continue attacking. We can not give up."
"Alright then."
"So you want another shot at me? Then be my guest."
"You bet I want another shot. Angels never give up, its demons from hell like yourself that gives us more motivation to kill you."
"Oh is that a threat I just heard? If it is, I'm trembling with fear."
"You will be, demon! Celestial-"
Burizalor quickly phased in front of her and threw him a punch. It knocks Angewomon away with that one shot. Burizalor phased behind her and shot out a devastating beam from behind. Angewomon goes flying back, Burizalor again phases out. Angewomon stops herself and turns to see Burizalor flying at her. Angewomon threw in a punch but Burizalor phased out. Angewomon turns and Burizalor applies a sleeper-type of hold on her. Angewomon gags and struggles under the monster's powerful grasp.
The others watched as Kari was taking blows like Angewomon was. Now it seemed as though Kari and her digimon have become linked during this battle.
"Kari is in the same position TK was taking a while ago," said Matt.
Sora nodded in agreement, "This could be dangerous. This type of action could possibly kill her. We have to stop her."
Burizalor grabs Angewomon and tosses her up. Burizalor fades above her and blasts down a shower of beams. Angewomon attempted to cancel them out but they were too fast. They all hit her and knocked her to the ground. Burizalor hovered down. Angewomon was rising to her feet.
"Angewomon. Why do you believe that you can beat me?"
"Its a little thing called destiny. Our destiny is to defeat evil forces such as yourselves."
"Your being delusional my winged friend."
"Angewomon has him distracted at the moment. I should go and heal Patamon now,"Kari thought to herself.
Angewomon flipped up and went to punch Burizalor. Burizalor twisted away and drove a knee into her gut. Angewomon fell to her knees and held her gut. Burizalor then follows it up with a punch to her face. Angewomon goes plowing into the ground.
Kari hovers down to the fallen Patamon. She places two hands over Patamon and her body begins to glow that same aura. Patamon felt a rush of energy entering his body. His body and power was being restored to him.
The other Digi-Destined could only watch in awe at what they are watching. Kari was healing Patamon before their very own eyes.
Kari held Patamon tightly in her arms and rocked him as if he were a child.
"Shhh. It's alright little one. I just restored to you your strength."
Patamon opened his eyes and looked up to see Kari. He noticed that she was glowing and smiling.
"Kari? Why are you glowing? Your voice is so different."
"Just relax. You'll be back to your old self in a matter of moments. You think you can lend Angewomon a hand?"
"Of course."
Burizalor started to walk over to a fallen Angewomon. A sick smile came over his face. Slowly getting to her feet, Angewomon was ready to attack and maneuver at whatever Burizalor was going to throw at her.
"You still won't give up, Angewomon. Maybe this will change your mind."
Burizalor punches Angewomon in the gut and kicks her up. Burizalor phases up and nails her with a spin kick. Angewomon goes falling down and lands hard. Burizalor hovers down and walks over to her.
"You demon, you disgust me. You will not win."
"You're so naive, you're just like the rest of them. They curse me yet I kill them. And your fate will be no different."
Burizalor pointed his finger at Angewomon as he was powering up a laser beam. Angewomon watched in horror. Her fate was soon to be decided. Either she lives or dies.
"It's been fun, Angewomon. But I got places to go and people to kill."
Right when Burizalor was going to blast Angewomon, he felt a tremendous power rising. He turned to see Patamon flying up.
"It's payback time, Burizalor. TK digivolve me!"
TK slowly rose to his feet and responded to Patamon's cries. He held up his crest and digivice.
"Crest of Hope. I command you to digivolve Patamon into his ultimate form!"
[Digimon Adventure "Brave Heart" plays in sequence]
The crest responded and it gave Patamon the power to digivolve. Burizalor got blinded by the light and turned away.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon! Angemon chou shinka! Magna Angemon!"
Magna Angemon flew down and nails Burizalor with a thunderous kick to the face. Burizalor goes flying back. Magna Angemon hovers over to Angewomon.
"Are you okay, Angewomon?"
"Yes, thank you."
"Lets attack him with everything we have."
"Yes."
Kari hovered over to TK. TK turned to look at Kari's emulating body.
"Kari. You're glowing. Kina like my flashlight. What happened?"
"The combined powers of Angewomon and Magna Angemon should be able to beat Burizalor."
"Are you sure?"
"I hope."
Burizalor was slowly rising to his feet and his eyes widened at what he saw. Magna Angemon was back with a recovered power supply.
"What?! But how?! How did he recover?!"
Metal Garurumon joined in with the two angels. They all turned to face Burizalor.
"Well Sora. Looks like we're back in the game. We didn't really need Tai after all!" Matt said, "We're sure to beat him with three fully powered digimon."
"Maybe you're right. Burizalor's power should at least decrease," Sora said.
They both looked down at the battlefield. Burizalor was now going against Angewomon, Magna Angemon and Metal Garurumon. No way they could lose.
"What's this? They all managed to recover so quickly. I don't understand this! I should of just killed them to begin with!"
"Alright! Hit him with everything you got," ordered Metal Garurumon, "Hit it guys!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Gate of Destiny!"
"Ice Wolf Blast!"
They managed to follow it up with several powerful ki blasts. Burizalor could not block these blasts out and was shot down. A cloud of smoke started to form around where Burizalor was standing. The digimon watched on as the smoke was starting to stir. The Digi-Destined watched anxiously.
["Brave Heart" ends]
As the smoke cleared, Burizalor was still standing there. He had a few scratches but a smirk came over his face. The digimon couldn't believe their eyes. The children were even more shocked.
"Is that the best you got? What's the matter? Don't tell me that you're going to give up already."
"Now what do we do?" asked Angewomon.
Metal Garurumon growled angrily, "I don't know. He's way stronger than all of us. We threw our best shots at him."
"Well we can't give up now. TK doesn't want to give up and neither will I," Magna Angemon said.
Magna Angemon flew at Burizalor. Angewomon tried to stop him but Metal Garurumon pulled her back. Burizalor looked ready to throw a fist in but he stopped. Magna Angemon stopped in his place when a mysterious figure phased in front of him.
The Digi-Destined looked who to see who it was. TK and Kari looked on faintly.
"Its Leomon," shouted Sora, "Leomon!"
"Uh? Leomon? But he died!" Matt exclaimed.
"Yay! Leomon!" Kari cried out.
"It's so good to see him again! I bet that X guy gave him another chance."
The digimon were shocked to see Leomon's sudden arrival. He had died in the previous showdown with the invaders, yet they were unaware that X had gotten permission from the powers that be to revive his digital spirit. He didn't even have to wait to be reborn through Primary Village.
"Leomon. Its good to see you again, old friend!" Magna Angemon said.
"You too. So is this Burizalor?"
"He transformed into his second form."
"I see. He's gotten a lot stronger the last time I fought him."
"You mean you fought him before?"
"Yes and he defeated me easily. But now I've come back better than ever. You can tell my power has increased dramatically since I died. X helped train my comrades and myself. I was given another life after X got permission from the powers that be to restore my digital spirit."
"Powers that be?"
"It's a long story."
Burizalor smiled when he looked to Leomon.
"Well it's so good to see you again, Leomon. Have you come to protect those Digi-Destined? Because if you are, then its a big mistake on your part. You should know that you are butting into something that isn't even your business. Don't you remember the last time we fought, I pummeled you like yesterday's trash, no don't make me do it again. I suggest you leave now. Now go before it's too late. Please, it would ease my conscience more if I were to spare your life."
Leomon just gave Burizalor a cold glare and didn't turn away.
***************************************************************************************
Tai held onto his digivice while waiting for Agumon to recover from his healing chamber. Suddenly, he noticed another power level on his digivice that just appeared.
"Huh? Somebody else is out there in the fight. Who is it? Well whoever it is, I hope he's on our side and I hope he helps the gang out beat that creep. Agumon, I said today not tomorrow. We really need War Greymon for this."
Tai sat down and pondered when Agumon would be done and wondered who is helping his friends at the moment.
***************************************************************************************
Leomon cracks his knuckles and turns towards Burizalor.
"Wow! It's Leomon! I can't believe I get to see him fight!" Chuumon said. "This is quite an honor."
"Alright Burizalor, lets do this. You and I, like old times. Ok guys, I want you all to stay out of this. I got this fight under control."
"What are you crazy?!" exclaimed Angewomon, "You won't make it."
"Don't argue with me."
The other digimon stare at Leomon as if he was crazy but Leomon walked over to the middle of the battlegrounds. Burizalor watched him and phased right where Leomon was standing.
"Burizalor. The last time we fought, you tossed me to the side as if I were a peon. But now, my power has increased tremendously. I have trained for the day that we meet again and here we meet. So are you disappointed?"
"Not even. I longed for the day that I rip your head off of your shoulders and place it in on my mantle. You'll make a good decoration."
The two super fighters stood face to face. The Digi-Destined and the digimon began to watch in anticipation. Something is going down between these two long-time rivals.
Burizalor may have his hands full now that Leomon has made it to the battlefield. Can Leomon hold off Burizalor and give Agumon enough time to recover?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Unleash the Beast King, Saber Leomon Awakens! Look Out, Burizalor Transforms a Second Time!
Leomon walked across the battlefield and left the other digimon to ponder. They thought he was just being delusional or he really did achieve a new level of power that they weren't aware of.
"I don't know what Leomon is trying to do but he's going to get killed if he fights Burizalor,"Matt said to himself.
Sora looked down and smiled, "Maybe Leomon can take on Burizalor. He's sure to win. Hes one of the strongest digimon I've ever known."
"You think he'll beat him," asked Kari.
TK nodded and replied, "I know so. He'll give Burizalor a run for his money."
"Huh?"
"What I'm saying is that Leomon will give Burizalor the fight to the finish. Leomon will beat him. He's got to."
"I hope so. He did train our digimon after all."
"You can do it, Leomon! I'm rooting for ya buddy," Chuumon said.
Leomon and Burizalor had a stare down as they read each other's power levels.
"We should let Leomon fight him alone," said Magna Angemon.
Angewomon gasped. "Are you sure you want him leave him?"
"He has this under control. He has a power that none of us can even imagine."
"He's right," replied Metal Garurumon, "Burizalor won't know what hit him."
"So you really think you can defeat me? I just read your level of power. I'm not impressed, Leomon. All of that training was for nothing."
"You just aren't reading hard enough. If you under-estimate me, it will be a costly mistake you have ever made."
"Oh really? Well your going to find out when I beat the living hell out of you."
"Give it a try, demon."
Burizalor growled and watched as Leomon phased in front of him. Leomon throws in a punch and the two start hammering at each other. They block each other's punches. Leomon flies back as Burizalor punches away at him. Leomon blocks and twists back. Burizalor phases out and appears above Leomon. Burizalor goes for an elbow smash into the face but Leomon phases out. Burizalor turns around and watches as Leomon goes to elbow him. Burizalor blocks with his fists and knocks Leomon back with force from a shoulder smash. Leomon catches himself and flies at Burizalor. The two clash again. Now they were fighting in the skies.
The Digi-Destined watched as bright flashes were appearing around the skies. The two fighters were fighting so fast that not even the Digi-Destined could keep up with their speed.
Burizalor flies down and fires several blasts at Leomon. Leomon deflects them. Burizalor phases behind Leomon and nails an elbow to the back of the heroic lion warrior. Leomon goes crashing down into the ground. Burizalor hovers down. He walks over the rubble but then is surprised by an energy blast from above. Burizalor looked up to see Leomon hovering. Leomon shoots down several ki blasts. Burizalor dodges and flies up. The two warriors clash yet again. They block each other's punches and kicks. Leomon goes for a punch but Burizalor twists to the side. Burizalor knees Leomon in the gut and nails him with an elbow to the face. Burizalor kicks Leomon in the face and drills him with a punch to the face. Leomon goes crashing down into the ground again.
"Leomon!" TK cried out, "Please be ok."
"That was one heck of a punch. He takes a lot of punishment," Kari said.
"C'mon Leomon."
Burizalor hovered down with a smirk on his face. He walked over to the rubble and laughed. The Digi-Destined watched in horror as Burizalor turned his attention to them.
"Now that I've taken your kitty cat friend out of the game, who wants to be next on my killing list?"
Just as Burizalor was about to make his next move, the ground behind him exploded. Burizalor turned around and gasped. Leomon came popping out of the ground and fully energized. Burizalor turns his attention back to his old rival.
"Alright! That's a way to stay alive," TK said.
Kari nodded in agreement.
"Like I said before, never underestimate my power."
"Huh? How are you still standing?"
"Your going to have to more than that to finish me off, demon." "Damn you!"
Burizalor phases in front of Leomon and threw in a punch. Leomon maneuvers out of the way and decks him in the face. Burizalor goes staggering back. Leomon comes flying at Burizalor and drills him in the gut. Leomon hammers away at Burizalor and drills him with a uppercut to the face. Burizalor goes flying up. Leomon flies up and thrusts his fist forward. A gigantic beam shaped like a lion came flying at Burizalor.
"Fist of the Beast King!"
"What?!"
The beam nails Burizalor sending him into the ground. Burizalor goes crashing down. Leomon flies down and drills multiple punches into Burizalor's gut. Leomon blasts the evil monster with a large ki blast. Burizalor goes crashing into the ground.
"He's awesome!" Sora said, "Burizalor is going to have a hard time getting up from that.
"Its not over yet," replied Matt, "Burizalor is just too strong to be defeated that easily."
Leomon hovered down to the ground and looked around his surroundings. There was no sign of Burizalor. Leomon couldn't take a reading of his energy level. It was obvious that Burizalor was hiding his power to conserve it.
"Leomon has gotten stronger since the last time we met him," Izzy said, "He wasn't as strong when we fought Devimon and when the invaders came to the digital world."
"Well Izzy. It's obvious. He's been training all this time," Gomamon said, "If I know Leomon, he's no lazy cat. He trains as hard as he desires. X must have given him some sort of special training."
"I see."
"Umm, guys. How about we focus on something more important, like Joe's condition," Mimi said as she held Joe's hand tightly.
"Well this medicine should keep him stable," Izzy said.
Mimi then asked, "But what if it's not enough? I mean, we need a miracle if we were to help revive Joe."
"Uh oh, looks like something is going to go down now."
Leomon walked over the debris in search of his adversary but couldn't read his power level. Suddenly, a hand came popping out of the ground and grabbed Leomon. Leomon struggled and tried to blast it away. Burizalor came popping out of the ground. Burizalor punches Leomon into a nearby rocky ledge and hammered him away. Burizalor picks up Leomon and tosses him up. Burizalor flies up. He phases above Leomon. Burizalor thrusts out his blades and attempts to slash at Leomon. Leomon avoided each slash. Burizalor swipes at Leomon, but Leomon pulls out his sword and blocks it out. The two warriors slash at each other but those would be blocked out.
Burizalor flies back and fires several beams at Leomon. Leomon used his sword to deflect them. This gave Burizalor the opportunity to phase behind Leomon and elbow him in the back of the head. Burizalor applies a headlock on Leomon and takes him into the ground. Burizalor jumps up and smiles with satisfaction.
"Well so much for your feline friend. I'm sure he's in a much happier place now. So who wants to step up and fight me next? Yamato, why don't you send your digimon? Or how about you, Sora? Or Takeru? Or even you Hikari?"
The Digi-Destined watched on with angry looks on their faces. The digimon got ready as they started to power up.
Burizalor merely just chuckled and started towards them. But just as he approached them, he felt a sudden increase of power and turned behind him. He saw something glowing out of the ground. His eyes widened in shock and a blast came erupting out of the ground. He heard Leomon's voice erupting.
["Run Around" from Digimon Movie Soundtrack plays]
"Leomon shinka! Saberleomon!"
Burizalor gasped when he saw a large, saber-toothed lion jumping out of the ground.
The Digi-Destined gasped in shock and excitement.
"Whoa! Cool! That's Leomon," TK exclaimed.
"He digivolved to mega form!" Kari said, "But how can he without a digivice?"
[Digimon Profile: Saber Leomon. Mega Level. Special Techniques: Twin Fang and Howling Crusher]
"Prodigious! Leomon digivolved into his mega form, Saberleomon! His attacks are Twin Fang and Howling Crusher," Izzy explained while reading information from his laptop, "He's at mega form and he may give Burizalor a hard time. Lets hope he can slow him down for a while."
"I did it! I managed to digivolve into my mega form. But I have to keep it under control. I wasn't able to control myself during X's training. One mistake against Burizalor, it will cost me my life."
"Ahh. So you managed to digivolve into your mega form. Impressive and you have no partner to help you digivolve. How did you even have the power to digivolve to mega without going ultimate beforehand? It takes years of experience to accomplish that."
"I'll tell you why, since you're so eager. The digivices that those children carry contain large amounts of power. A long time ago, I got exposed to them and it gave me a new power that I attempted to train many years to achieve. But I couldn't believe that the Digi-Destined would contain that power within their own digivices."
"And what sort of power is that?"
"The power of the ability to digivolve. I was also previously given power from the four Holy Beasts to help control my digivolving process but I'm not able to control. But if there was anything that I long desire, that is to defeat you in this form."
"Such bold words, but will you live up to your promise?"
"I'll make sure that I do so."
"So be it. This time I won't go easy on you as I did last time."
Burizalor and Saberleomon clashed at each other. They both traded blows. Burizalor threw in punches that were dodged by Saberleomon. Saberleomon jumped up and slashed Burizalor in the face. Burizalor goes flying back. Saberleomon charges across. He head butts into Burizalor's chest. Burizalor goes crashing through a rocky ledge. Saberleomon jumps up and fires his Twin Fang down at his adversary. Saberleomon flies back down. He waits for his adversary to get to his feet.
"Incredible!" said TK.
"What TK?"
"Not only did Leomon's power increase but now so did his speed. I couldn't even see him and I'm willing to bet our digimon couldn't even see him make a move."
"He really caught Burizalor off guard."
"He's sure to win this fight."
Saberleomon walked around the debris. He awaited Burizalor to make his next move. He felt something rise out of the ground. He turned to see Burizalor jump and attempt to throw a punch. Saberleomon jumps away but Burizalor was able to catch up to him. Saberleomon jumps back and keeps his distance. Burizalor flies after him.
["Run Around" ends]
"As you can see, I can anticipate your every move. I guess fighting you all those times has given me a chance to exploit your weaknesses. It's a pity that you transformed. I would of beaten you in your previous form as Saberleomon."
"What?!"
"Yeah. I can rise my power if I wanted to."
"Impossible! I remember the last time I fought you, you didn't even have on bit of hidden powers."
Flashback
Leomon went head on against Burizalor in their first battle. Leomon pulled out his sword and attempted to slash at Burizalor. Suddenly he was stopped as Burizalor placed a finger on the tip of the sword. Leomon watched on in shock as Burizalor pushes back with no effort.
"How are you able to do that? You should of have been sliced into pieces."
"Wrong, my friend. You need to realize that your inferior weapons are worthless against me. So you can just put your little toy away and fight me with your bare hands. Or are you too afraid to give me your best shot."
"I'll show you, demon!"
Leomon flew right at Burizalor. The evil tyrant easily sidestepped him and kneed him in the gut. Leomon goes doubling over on the ground. Burizalor walks over Leomon and kicks him, sending Leomon through a wall. Leomon doubles over on the ground and tries to catch his breath.
"In case if you didn't notice, I was just toying with you. My in depth power lays hidden, but I choose to keep it that way. For you won't want to experience my radical power."
Leomon rose to his feet and was ready to pounce Burizalor. Burizalor phased out and reappeared behind Leomon. He drives an elbow into the spine of Leomon. Leomon goes flying back. But as soon as he was about to crash through another wall, he immediately stopped. Something grasped him around the throat. Burizalor took hold of Leomon.
"You understand? You're not even close to being a threat to me. So the question is, why do you keep on trying?"
"You'll see. The Digi-Destined who defeat you?"
"The Digi-Destined? I heard rumors of children being seen on File Island. But since you are a witness and helped them in their quest to defeat Devimon, I need to know this. Where are they?"
"I'll never tell you. They'll find out about you and beat you for sure."
"Oh and those children are supposed to scare me? I don't see any reason to even fear them. We shall see when I meet them personally. But, until then, you're nothing but a waste of my time. I'll spare you of your pathetic life for now, but only for now."
Burizalor tossed Leomon down and flew up. Leomon was catching his breath and watched as Burizalor disappeared into the sunset.
End of Flashback
Burizalor could remember what he said and turned to face Saberleomon.
"Now as you can see, the result has been different. I lived for the day that I would get my vengeance on you. So lets finish this fight, I'm really looking forward to taking your head."
"We'll see about that!"
The two fighters phased out. Saberleomon and Burizalor clashed at each other. Burizalor fires several ki blasts at Saberleomon.
"Hang in there, Leomon!" TK cried.
Kari shouted out, "You got him on the run!"
"Man, I never knew Leomon would get this strong! He just might win!" Chuumon said.
Saberleomon phased in front of Burizalor and drills him with his Howling Crusher. Burizalor goes falling down. Saberleomon starts to power up as his body glows.
"Alright! Now that he's down. We can attack," said Angewomon.
"He's pretty much out. If we work together, we're sure to win," Magna Angemon said.
"You two stay right there! Didn't I say I would finish, Burizalor," Saberleomon said, "Besides, he's power is weakening. This gives me the opportunity to return the favor to him."
[Random old-school Dragonball Z battle music plays]
Burizalor was getting to his feet. He phased out and tried to punch at Saberleomon. But his fist only punched air. Saberleomon phased down to the ground. Saberleomon spits out a fireball-like beam at Burizalor. Burizalor managed to maneuver out of the way and looked down at Saberleomon with sheer anger in his eyes. Burizalor powered up and formed a large ball of energy in one hand.
"Oh man! That thing is huge," exclaimed Matt, "I don't know if Saberleomon will be able to dodge that one."
"Burizalor is letting his anger get to him. Saberleomon has an advantage," Sora said.
Burizalor threw down the energy ball and watched it get hurled right at Saberleomon. But Saberleomon responded with a Howling Crusher to push the energy ball right back at Burizalor. Burizalor watched as the ball came right at him. He got into a blocking position and a huge explosion took place.
"Saberleomon got him," TK said, "But did he beat him." "I don't even know anymore," Kari replied.
The digimon and the other Digi-Destined watched in awe as large amount of smoke was covering the sky. Slowly, the smoke started to disappear. Saberleomon looked up to see if that blast was able to hit Burizalor.
As the smoke cleared away, Burizalor was still floating up in a blocking position. The Digi-Destined and the digimon gasped in horror at the sight of what they say. Burizalor was still there and it seemed as though Saberleomon's attack didn't even faze him.
"No way," TK said with fear in his voice, "That's not possible."
"He's still alive!" Kari replied, "How are we going to beat this guy?"
Burizalor looked down at Saberleomon with sheer anger in his eyes. It looked like Burizalor wanted to tear Leomon's heart out after that shot. He was literally boiling and ready to attack him with an onslaught of rage. Saberleomon looked up and gave him a cold look. He realized that even by deflecting Burizalor's own attack wouldn't put a dent into Burizalor.
**************************************************************************************
Tai was sitting down on a table, looking down at his digivice.
"Wow. Whoever this person is, digivolved into mega and is helping out my friends for a good few moments. But it looks like Burizalor isn't down yet. I knew it. Evil bad guys don't go down without a fight. But this is just ridiculous. Agumon, I really wish you are recovered a long time ago."
Agumon was still in his healing chamber. It's been a while since he was in his healing chamber. He needed to do this to regain his strength. Tai knew it was the best thing to do. This way, he could be ready to take on Burizalor. But now wasn't a good time.
"I just hope Sora will be alright. I never had the chance to tell her to tell her. Oh never mind..."
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor looked down at Saberleomon as the smoke cleared. Saberleomon couldn't believe his very eyes. Burizalor was unaffected by his attacks. But the Digi-Destined were even more shocked.
"Oh this is terrible," cried Mimi, "He's practically unbeatable."
"Not even Saberleomon was able to put a stop to him," Gomamon said, "C'mon Joe. You're going to make it buddy. I promise. Maybe a good joke will make you feel better."
Izzy gasped at what he saw on his computer.
"Well that sucks," said Matt, "I say we have my digimon finish the job."
"Matt. Don't start that again," Sora exclaimed, "Let Saberleomon handle it. I'm sure he has another plan in his mind."
"Oh yeah, like what? Give me a break, he's pretty much done now."
"How can you be sure about that?"
"I have no idea, but I can easily tell. And I think Metal Garurumon will agree with me on that one."
Sora looked down at the battlegrounds and watched on.
Burizalor hovered down and stood face to face with Saberleomon. Both fighters kept their eyes locked onto each other. Burizalor seemingly isn't finished yet. But neither is Saberleomon.
Suddenly, an evil smirk came over the face of Burizalor. Saberleomon took notice of this and gasped. And with sudden force and the speed of light, Burizalor punched Saberleomon right in the face.
The Digi-Destined gasped in shock at the turn of events. They were witnessing the evil monster gaining back more momentum.
Burizalor hammered away at Saberleomon with punches and kicks. Saberleomon attempted to maneuver away but Burizalor snatched him and tossed him up. Burizalor flew up and phased out. Saberleomon turned to find Burizalor ready to attack.
"No matter how fast I maneuver, he still catches me!
Burizalor drills a fist to the face of Saberleomon. Saberleomon goes falling like a ton of bricks into the ground. Saberleomon was slowly getting to his feet, but Burizalor phased down and kicked him right in the face. Burizalor phased out and appeared behind Saberleomon. Burizalor drills a head butt into Saberleomon. Burizalor scathes his blades and goes to slash Saberleomon. But Saberleomon scathed his claws and clashes with Burizalor. Burizalor manages to get a kick in and uppercuts Saberleomon, sending him high into the air. Burizalor appears in the sky and sends a ki blast at Saberleomon. This sends the ferocious feline crashing into the ground.
"Oh this is not good at all," said Kari, "If only we could attack."
"But Leomon specifically said we stand aside and let him fight," TK said, "Besides. Leomon isn't through yet. I just know he isn't."
"If I were Leomon, I'd definitely want some help right about now," muttered the pink digimon rodent.
"Sora. What do you think?" asked Matt.
Sora nodded, "I'm not sure. Leomon is taking a lot of punishment now. But he's resilient. He's not done just yet."
Garudamon could only watch on in shock and knew she wouldn't make a difference in this fight anyways.
Burizalor hovered down towards the crater that was formed by Saberleomon's fall. He looked over and saw Saberleomon lying on the ground. A smirk formed over his face in satisfaction.
"Ha. Ha. Well, it looks like you've been decisively defeated my friend, again. So, are you ready to surrender to the better fighter? I suggest it because you don't have much time left as far as your life is concerned. Well, any last requests?"
Saberleomon slowly got to his feet and shook the cobwebs out of his head. He looked up at his adversary. Burizalor was ready to make his next move. Saberleomon crawled out of the crater and looked to Burizalor.
"Wow, Leomon is still on his feet," TK said, "He must have a little bit more fight still left in him."
"What's he doing?"
"I bet he's going to power up and blast him with another big attack."
"Oh."
Angewomon, Magna Angemon and Metal Garurumon watched on and felt Saberleomon's power increasing once again.
"Now, Burizalor! I'm going to show you the true power of the beast king! Your reign of terror is coming to an end and I will make sure of that!"
Saberleomon howled with anger as the ground started to shake. His body was surrounded by a bright aura. The other digimon felt a tremendous power increasing. Burizalor backed away as he watched his adversary call upon more of his hidden power.
"Ha. Ha. Just let me know when you get done powering up, because I don't have all day. I have children to kill and a world to conquer." "Over my dead body."
Suddenly, Saberleomon flew at Burizalor. Burizalor was ready to blast him away but Saberleomon phased out. Burizalor gasped and turned to see Saberleomon slash at him. Burizalor goes stalling back, which gave Saberleomon a chance to blast him with beams. Burizalor flies up and goes to shot down a shower of beams, but Saberleomon was able to maneuver out of the way. Burizalor gasped when Saberleomon phased in front of him.
The Digi-Destined watched as an explosion took place from the sky. Somebody had generated a powerful beam of energy and it hit somebody. But who was the victim of this blast? Saberleomon? No! Burizalor comes falling and is pretty busted up. They cheered on as Saberleomon came flying down. Saberleomon latched himself onto Burizalor.
"Oh and I was just getting started, Burizalor. Your about to feel the true depth of my power in just a matter of moments."
Saberleomon drops Burizalor, sending the evil tyrant crashing into the ground. Saberleomon hovered over in search of his adversary and ready to make his next move.
"What's he going to do now?" Kari asked.
TK replied, "I'm willing to bet that he's ready to make his next move. Burizalor won't know what hit him!"
"He's tried everything he could."
"He'll beat that meanie, just you wait and see."
The others watched on. Matt was getting a little antsy and focused on the battle. Sora took notice of this and tried to talk some sense into Matt, but decided not to.
Saberleomon looked down at the fallen Burizalor, who was slowly getting to his feet. Now this was Saberleomon's chance to finish the fight and couldn't waste any time.
"And this is for all the innocent lives that you have killed, demon!"
[Dragonball Z "Fight" background music plays]
Saberleomon proceeded to shoot out numerous of powerful ki blasts at the fallen Burizalor and didn't hesitate to stop. His eyes were intense and anger at the sight of the monster known as Burizalor. He wanted this retribution for a long time. He wouldn't let anyone stop him. He wanted to release his anger upon the tyrant that caused the inbalancement of the Digital World and the grieving death of Gennai. He wanted to make Burizalor pay for all the crimes that he has committed. He wanted to see that he would be the one that ends the evil tyrant's reign of the digital universe.
The Digi-Destined watched on as Saberleomon went medieval on Burizalor. They were shocked at the way Saberleomon was conducting himself but they were relieved that he would be the one to take out the evil tyrant.
A huge explosion occurs from the area where Burizalor was laying. Saberleomon smiled with satisfaction at the sight of seeing his adversary vanish with the explosion. Smoke was beginning to form from the huge explosion.
"You think he's gone?" asked Mimi.
"Lets hope so," Izzy replied, "I don't think Burizalor was strong enough to survive that kind of blast."
The others watched as the smoke cleared and not a trace of Burizalor was found. Saberleomon smiled with satisfication. His mission has been complete.
"You da man!" Chuumon exclaimed.
"Alright! Leomon! We did it," TK cried out.
"Way to knock it to him," Kari said.
"No, its not over," murmured Matt.
Sora asked, "What do you mean? Leomon destroyed Burizalor. Didn't it?"
"No. Take a look up there!"
Matt pointed up as the other Digi-Destined looked up and gasped in horror. What they saw was something they couldn't believe. Burizalor was floating up and looked to be unscathed. The kids were trembling in fear at the sight of their adversary still alive from such a large blast. Saberleomon was even more shocked.
"That's not possible. I put everything I had in that blast! Damn you, demon!"
"I really wish you get this through that thick head of yours Leomon, you really never had a real chance at defeating me. No matter how strong you have gotten. You should realize your futile attempts and just give up."
"No way! I'll fight you until the day I die! My mission is to slay you, demon!"
Burizalor smirked and levitated down. Saberleomon followed down and listened to what Burizalor was going to say next.
"You see. You possibly haven't heard."
"What? What are you talking about?!"
"My ability to transform."
"Transform?"
"Kind of like how a digimon digivolves, but my power through transformations is infinite, which means I can't run out of energy and return to my first form. As you know, I already transformed. But I have others. And each time I transform, my power gets bigger. Which also means that your chances of winning have come to a crashing halt. Now shall I demonstrate?"
Burizalor phased out and appeared on the ground. Saberleomon hovered down. Burizalor held out both of his fists and clenched them together. Saberleomon wondered what he was about to do.
"Now you will know that I wasn't bluffing because I will be transforming before your very eyes. Oh and by the way, this isn't my final form. I only have two more transformations."
"No way! You have to be bluffing! There's no way your power surpasses that of a mega digimon like myself."
"I shall prove you wrong, my friend."
With that being said, a red glow emulated over Burizalor's body. Saberleomon gasped when he felt a tremendous power from his adversary.
"What's he doing?" asked Sora.
"I don't like this. It looks like he's going to transform again," Matt replied.
"Transform again?! I'm not liking Leomon's odds now," Chuumon said.
"I feel a tremendous power increase coming from him," said Magna Angemon, "Wow. Now its tripled from what it previously was."
"How? This is beyond my level of power," Angewomon replied.
"Take a good look, Leomon. Because this will be the last time you ever lay your eyes on me."
"Bring it on. Lets see this transformation of yours! Or do I have to force it out of you?!"
"Patience, my friend."
Burizalor let out a loud scream as spikes started popping out of his back. Saberleomon stood his ground to witness the monster's transformation. Burizalor arched back and his back started to bend. The Digi-Destined watched on in horror at the transformation that was taking place. Burizalor's face started to transform as well. It became more lizard-like and the two horns on his head stretched back to become spikes. His muscles start to increase in mass.
As he finished transforming, the Digi-Destined and the digimon felt his power increase with frightening results. Burizalor stood up in his new form. He had a more lizard-like face, an arched back, spikes on his back and head, and a more muscular body. He basically almost looked like an Ankylomon, minus the spiked armor and tail club. Even his voice changed. It was much deeper with a high-pitched tone.
"So, Leomon. What do you think? You impressed? This is my official second transformed state."
"I can't believe this! Your power!"
"Isn't it just glorious? Now our power is no longer equal. So what do you say we end this little dispute?"
"Give me your best shot!"
"With pleasure."
Burizalor quickly phased out and this caught Saberleomon by surprise. Saberleomon turned to see Burizalor blasting him away with beams. Saberleomon goes flying back. Burizalor flies up and swoops down at Saberleomon. Burizalor throws punches and kicks to Saberleomon, who was unable to counter his adversaries' attacks.
"Whoa! He's a lot faster in this form!" said Sora, "I think its time we let our digimon go in and help. There's no way that Saberleomon can take so much punishment."
"Sora. Didn't you hear, Leomon? He specifically said that he can handle this," replied Matt.
"But, he's getting pummeled. He needs help!"
"No! We stay put and our digimon will not interfere."
"Screw that, we're helping Saberleomon!" said Garudamon.
"We'll attack when Burizalor least expects it. Because he will read our power levels if we attack head on," replied Metal Garurumon.
"What should I do now, Izzy?" asked Altur Kabuterimon, "I should help the others out in case they need me."
"No. Conserve your strength. We need to help Joe get back to health. You have to de-digivolve back to Tentomon. I'm sure the others have well under control for now."
"Well alright. I'll help when they need me."
"Agreed."
TK and Kari watched on with tense looks on their faces. They couldn't stand seeing Saberleomon getting thrashed around by Burizalor. Their digimon took notice.
"Leomon. No. I won't see you die again,"TK thought to himself. "I almost lost Angemon. I won't stand to see you go."
"Burizalor deserves to get punished for everything he has done. He needs to pay for the sins he has committed," Kari thought to himself.
Burizalor flew up as Saberleomon followed him up. Saberleomon went in to use his Howling Crusher but Burizalor shot a powerful beam to push him back. Saberleomon goes flying back. Burizalor chuckled and phased over to Saberleomon.
"What's wrong? Are you getting upset because your getting your butt kicked? Now you realize who is the most powerful being in the digital universe. I will always be one step ahead of your inferior bits of data. Now its time I delete you."
Burizalor shot a beam at Saberleomon. Saberleomon goes staggering back, but Burizalor fires another beam. Saberleomon was feeling tremendous pain throughout his body as if he were about to explode. Burizalor then went bonkers and started firing more beams at Saberleomon.
The Digi-Destined watched on with fear while watching Burizalor's torturous attack on Saberleomon. How can anyone this sick-minded do such a thing and enjoy seeing others suffer? Well Burizalor sure is proud of his actions now.
There was an angry look on TK's face as he cried out. Kari watched as his crest began to glow.
"Kari. We got to tell Angewomon and Magna Angemon to help him. There's not much time!"
"Yeah! Angewomon!"
"Magna Angemon!"
"TK. We decided to attack when he least expects it."
"We should keep our power levels surpassed so he won't sense our presence when we attack."
"Right."
"Alright, be careful Magna Angemon."
"Clock his lights out!"
"I can't believe those kids are actually going to stop him,"Matt said to himself,"Well, Lets just hope they knew what they're doing. It's going to take more than just Magna Angemon and Angewomon to beat that monster, but maybe just maybe. Oh yeah. Metal Garurumon can get the job done."
"You better not get the wrong idea and attack him with Metal Garurumon. Just let TK and Kari handle this," Sora said.
This managed to upset Matt even more, since he wanted a shot at Burizalor himself. He longed to do so and prove that he's a better leader than Tai ever will be.
Burizalor continued firing at Saberleomon. Saberleomon goes flying back and he starts to lose his tremendous energy. This caused him to de-digivolved back to Leomon.
"That takes care of him," replied Burizalor, "What the hell?!"
Angewomon and Magna Angemon attacked him as he turned to face them. Burizalor tried with all his might to counter their attacks. Angewomon shot out her Celestial Arrow and Magna Angemon slashed at Burizalor with his blade.
"If I am to win this battle, I have to be careful. The children of light and hope contain a lot of power within their crests. No matter, I will crush them in the end. The Crests will no longer even be a factor once I gain momentum."
"Stay on him, Magna Angemon!"
"We got him on the run!"
"Think again, children! I'm just warming up. I haven't displayed my true power in this form. So you two better back up those words! Because this fight is coming to a close and I say it ends now!"
Burizalor quickly faded out and appeared behind the two angels. They turned to see him and gasped when he blasted two beams from his fingers. These were set for a direct shot. The two angels froze in shock and everything becomes suspended animation for the moment.
Now that Burizalor has transformed into his new form, will the two angels be able to fend off his devastating attack? Or will the evil tyrant claim victory over the Digi-Destined?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Burizalor's Final Transformation! The Slaughter Begins!
Burizalor maneuvered away from two blasts that were being fired at him by Angewomon and Magna Angemon. The two angels moved up behind him and fired more blasts. Burizalor cancelled them out with ki blasts.
"He's managed to blast away our most powerful attacks," Angewomon said, "We're going to have to devise a new plan of action."
"If only we can attack where he can't detect us. We can try maneuver around him. But he can detect us by reading our ki. He doesn't need to use a scouter of any kind to trace us."
"This maybe a fight that we can not guarantee a victory. He's not like the evil digimon we've faced before. He's not even a digimon."
The other Digi-Destined looked on with disbelief on their faces. Leomon has already been taken out of the fight. Burizalor's new form is even stronger and faster than before.
"This is just unbelievable. So any bright ideas, Sora?" asked Matt.
"None. I'm speechless. Not even our digimon can keep up with Burizalor's new speed. The only two who even stand a chance are TK and Kari's digimon."
"If only Metal Garurumon had more power, wait! That's it!
Matt ran off and jumped off the ledge. Sora cried out to him to come back but Matt continued his way over to Metal Garurumon.
"Matt? What are you doing down here? Don't you realize that you're in the line of fire now."
"Yes. But I think I may have found a way in making you stronger in order to fight Burizalor."
"Yes, how are you going to do it?"
"Using my crest. Gennai said that there a digimon will rise up and overthrow Burizalor. I know for sure that it has to be you, not War Greymon as everybody seems to predict. We're going to stun everybody by the time we put that creep in his place."
"Whatever you believe, I believe as well. Lets show him what we're really made of."
Burizalor looked around his surroundings. Leomon was laid out amongst a group of fallen rocks. He turned to see the other Digi-Destined tending to Joe. He looked to Sora, Then to TK and Kari. He then faced Magna Angemon and Angewomon.
"Interesting. These digimon are a lot stronger than I first thought. However, there were supposed to be eight. Where is the one with the power of Courage? Thus far, the only two that has really given me problems were the two digimon belonging to Takeru and Hikari, the children of Light and Hope. My last two forms were very much too much for these children to handle. How do they expect to beat me while in this form? If only I could get rid of those crests, then I could declare victory. No matter, I will have my way with these two angels before I decide to end this.
"Magna Angemon. We better end this fight before he decides to recover," TK said, "You ready to go for another shot at him?"
"Yes, that should tire him out. He should burn out of energy."
"Angewomon? You agree."
"Yes but we must be careful. Burizalor has gotten a lot faster. We will be careful."
"Go get him!"
["Kick It Up" from the Digimon Movie Soundtrack plays]
Magna Angemon and Angewomon turned to face Burizalor. They flew at him. Burizalor phased past them and fired two blasts. The two angels got hit. Burizalor flew at them and nails them both with a fist to the gut. Burizalor turned to face them and fired two powerful ki blasts. The two angels each got hit and were sent flying back. Magna Angemon quickly faded out. Magna Angemon appeared above Burizalor. He pulled out his saber and swooped down at his adversary.
"So you want to play a little sword game, huh?"
Burizalor unscathed two blades out of his hands and flew up at Magna Angemon. The two collided and sliced at each other. They blocked out each slash attempt with tremendous speed. Magna Angemon slashes at Burizalor and actually cuts at his side. Burizalor screeched in pain and slashed at Magna Angemon's side. Both fly back from each other. Burizalor shoots out two ki blasts at Magna Angemon, but Magna Angemon cancelled them out with his saber. Burizalor phases out and appears behind Magna Angemon. He fires away at Magna Angemon and he was unable to maneuver away. Magna Angemon goes flying back.
"Ha! Not so tough now!"
Suddenly, Angewomon fell up above Burizalor. The evil tyrant looked up and saw Angewomon holding her arms up and forming a gigantic energy cloud. It was emulating a pink color and she looked down at Burizalor.
"Heavens Charm!"
Burizalor held out his hands as if he were about to push it back. But the energy wave pushed him back instead. Angewomon kept the beam onto Burizalor. Angewomon screamed with intense anger as she powered up the beam even more. This caused it to push Burizalor back. The evil tyrant felt an intense struggle between him and the beam. He has never felt such power from a digimon. Burizalor turned to see Magna Angemon hovering over to Angewomon. He shoots out a ray of energy and sends it at Burizalor.
"Alright! Stay on him," TK cried out, "He can't withstand that!"
"Looks like our digimon have the distinct advantage," Kari said, "They better stay focused!"
The angels pushed down on their energy as hard as they can. Burizalor felt his power draining as the energy was pushing him back even further. Magna Angemon shoot out more beams to keep Burizalor distracted while Angewomon's beam was pushing the evil tyrant back.
"Oh man! That's some intense energy," Matt cried out, "Just hang it in there you guys!"
"Those two have also reached new levels in power much like War Greymon! They're just as equal in power as War Greymon was before," Metal Garurumon stated as he watched on the two angels keeping Burizalor at bay.
"Incredible. Well we need to boost your power up. You're going to be the one that brings down Burizalor once and for all!"
"This is prodigious! Now Angewomon and Magna Angemon's powers have reached new levels during the battle. I don't know how did they did it, but TK's and Kari's crests must have given them a new power boost," Izzy explained, "I wonder if my crest will enable you do that Tentomon."
"Well I don't know. I don't have much power as Magna Angemon or Angewomon."
"We can always practice."
"As long as I get rest periods and lunch breaks."
"It's a deal."
Joe started to stir and he looked up to see the two angels sending out a large amount of energy at Burizalor. He turned to see Mimi's smiling face.
"Mimi? What happened? Ow! My chest…"
"Oh Joe! So good that you're ok! I thought you never make it!" "Uh ok. Can you fill me in on what has just happened…"
"Leomon arrived but he was beaten down. Burizalor transformed again. Magna Angemon and Angewomon are fighting him off! And they're kicking butt," Lillymon explained.
"Rise and shine, Joe," Gomamon said jokingly as he applied a headlock on Joe.
"Ha, ha."
The two angels pushed down at their combined energy. Burizalor watched as he was being pushed back and the energy wave was about to crush him into the ground. Angewomon and Magna Angemon kept the beam right on Burizalor.
"Gate of Destiny!"
"Heavens Charm!"
The combined blast pushed Burizalor back even further. Burizalor could not believe the amount of energy that he was sensing. He tried with all of his might to push it back, but to no avail. He felt more of his power fading away. But with the last amount of strength he had left in his body, Burizalor pushed back on the beam and sent it hurling at the two angels.
"Angewomon!"
"Magna Angemon!"
The two Digi-Destined watched as the beam was being hurled at their two digimon.
"Matt! Stop that damn beam," Sora cried out, "We're going to lose them!"
"I'll take care of this!"
"Garudamon!"
The beam was coming right at the two angels. It was drawing near and they could feel their fate coming to an end. Then out of nowhere, Garudamon came flying in and punched the beam out of their direction and sends it hurling into the sky. The beam exploded and it started showering energy blasts.
"Thank you, Garudamon," said Magna Angemon.
"For a minute, we could of been goners," Angewomon said with relief.
"Yes. That was very close," Garudamon said as she was looking down at Burizalor.
["Kick It Up" ends]
Burizalor was breathing heavily as he held out his hands. He never felt such a great energy such as that. He looked up at the two angels and then to TK and Kari.
"This is just strange. I never anticipated such power from two digimon. Afterall, they belong to the Digi-Destined of Light and Hope. I should keep an eye on those two. I know Takeru is the younger brother to Yamato. But where is Taichi? He needs to be here, in order for me to complete my conquest of the destruction of the Digi-Destined. It is said that the children of Hope and Light are only second to power next to the one who inherits courage. It really doesn't matter now, they will all be dealt with."
***************************************************************************************
Tai looked at the healing chamber, while he was still waiting for Agumon. Suddenly, his digivice started to go off.
"There's a reading on my digivice. Whoa! There are two enormous energies. They're from one of the others. This is good news. But the bad news is that Burizalor's power has gone up. He's a lot stronger than before. Hopefully, the others can hold him off. There isn't much time. C'mon Agumon, you better hurry up."
****************************************************************************************
The digimon started to regroup. The last attack on Burizalor almost came into effect but they knew that he was too powerful to be defeated that easily.
Kari and TK slid down the ledge to meet up with their digimon. TK ran to Magna Angemon as did Kari to Angewomon.
"Nice try, Magna Angemon," said TK, "We almost had him."
"He's a lot stronger when I first thought. That beam would of wiped out any kind of evil digimon."
"No, Magna Angemon. He put every effort into that blast. It was just because Burizalor isn't a digimon and our attacks have effect on only evil digimon," Angewomon said.
"Well that stinks," Kari said, "So what now?"
"We pretty much ran out of energy after that last attack," Magna Angemon said.
"Now that they're through with their fun and games. I think its time I show them what I'm really made of,"Matt thought to himself. "Metal Garurumon! Lets take this chance and use the crest to give you more power. That way we can give Burizalor the one fight he's been looking forward to. What do you say?"
"Yes. The sooner we get this over with. We can finish off Burizalor once and for all."
Burizalor looked at the whole group and a cruel smile came across his face. It looked like he was going to unleash another evil plan, but he took a step back and held out his hands.
"The time is now. I must crush these damn Digi-Destined! It's best that I eliminate them now. Before they gain more momentum and that's not a good thing."
Matt held out his crest and it started to glow. Metal Garurumon kneeled down and began absorbing the power from the crest.
"Just concentrate on the crest's power. You'll be a new digimon by the time you are fully energized."
"This might take a while, though."
"Its either this or Burizalor wipes us all out."
"But how do we know that this will help any? Burizalor's power has risen twice as before."
"Don't argue with me. We're going to give you the power that you need. With it, you can kick the crap out of Burizalor, so that we can end this fight and get the hell out of here. I'm done being a follower. Its time I take a stand as a leader!"
"Ha. Ha. Having a little argument, are we? Well all of that bickering is not going to help you or your digimon any. Because what your about to receive is something that you wished you never wanted."
Matt turned to face Burizalor with an angry look. He held onto his crest tightly and concentrated by sending more power into Metal Garurumon.
"I may not be ready now, but we soon will be. We're looking forward to your next attack."
"Well. You obviously haven't learned from Leomon's mistakes. Never under estimate me. Because what your about to witness is my final transformation!"
The other digi-destined heard this loud and clear. A look of panic and fear came across their faces. Matt also had a frightened look on his face. The digimon even were getting a little antsy. Burizalor has just transformed twice and his power was rising. But what in the world will he look like and how much power will he possess in his final form?
"This isn't good news. If he transforms again, we're finished,"Sora said to herself.
Suddenly, Burizalor started to screech and the ground started to shake. The whole Digital World felt the aftershocks of his power rising. The Digi-Destined watched in horror as their adversary was powering up.
"Oh no! You guys! We have to get away from here!" exclaimed Sora, "Now before..."
"Shut it, Sora! I'm in charge now! I say we stay and fight! It doesn't matter how strong Burizalor gets! What matters is that we work together on this one! We can do it! And Metal Garurumon has the power to bring down, Burizalor!"
"Matt! Stop being so stubborn! How do you even know that Metal Garurumon is the one that Gennai was speaking of? It could be any one of us. But at this very moment, we have to retreat and strategize."
"Heh. Well you and the others can run if you want to. But Metal Garurumon and I are staying."
"Matt-"
"I made up my mind and that's final, Sora!"
"Geez, you guys are making this look like a sad soap opera," Chuumon muttered.
TK and Kari looked over to a fallen Leomon. Leomon was slowly regaining his composure and felt the horrible power from Burizalor. He knew what was coming and turned towards the Digi-Destined.
"Digi-Destined! We must get away from here, right now!"
"Leomon," TK cried out, "Let us help you."
Magna Angemon and Angewomon went over to help Leomon to his feet. They looked over to Burizalor. The mad man was gathering more power.
***************************************************************************************
Tai gasped at what he saw through his digivice. There was a single power source quickly growing. It wasn't from either of the other Digi-Destined.
"Oh no! What a horrible power! Thats got to be Burizalor! If Agumon doesn't get done recovering, then I'm considered useless! This is hopeless! Dammit! Agumon we really need you for this one, buddy!"
Tai sighed while watching his digimon partner inside the healing chamber. Time was running out. Tai's friends were in danger of being wiped out of existence by such a monster like Burizalor.
"Sora. I'm sorry for not being there. Please protect the others and I'll be there to give that creep a piece of my mind."
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor continued to gather more energy for his next transformation. The ground around him started to crumble and a large crater was forming at the feet of Burizalor. The other Digi-Destined looked on with total fear on the looks on their faces.
"You guys! Lets clear out!" Sora cried out, "Matt that goes for you too!"
"I don't think so, Sora. I'm staying right here with Metal Garurumon."
"Matt! Don't be so damn stubborn! If we don't clear this area, we're going to get killed!"
"You go with others. But Metal Garurumon and I are staying! I'm pretty sure we have the power to bring this monster down!"
Burizalor screamed like never before as his body was starting to emulate a red color. His next step of evolution is almost complete. Soon, he would gain power that would be out of this world.
The Digi-Destined headed off to a safer hiding ground and away from Burizalor. Matt and Metal Garurumon stood their ground.
"Alright Metal Garurumon," Matt said, "You feeling any different yet?"
"Yes. My power is slowly rising for sure. The crest is giving it to me."
"Just don't overfeed."
"What's Matt trying to accomplish?" Kari asked, "That's no way to fight."
"Brother! You're going about this the wrong way," TK cried out.
Matt turned to face his brother and smiled. "Don't where little brother. I know what I'm doing. I'm going to show you that I'm just as good as Tai ever was. Burizalor will feel the wrath of Metal Garurumon."
"He's a fool if he thinks he can take on Burizalor all by himself," Leomon said, "But there's something that he should know."
"What is that?" Izzy asked with suspicion. "To know that Burizalor's power is going to increase tenfold after this transformation. Matt may realize that this maybe a big mistake on his part."
"But he's so hot-headed. He really wants this," Sora said.
"Well if he wants it this way, then so be it," Leomon replied, "He's going to pay the price."
TK looked to Matt with concern. He didn't want to see his own brother killed. Matt won't listen to anybody now. He's dead serious on surpassing Tai's digimon in power. In his own mind, if War Greymon can reach new levels of power then Metal Garurumon can too.
"I don't care what they tell me. I'm going to make sure Metal Garurumon beats the hell out of Burizalor and sent him packing back to the dark realm he came from. TK, I'll do anything that I can to protect you and the others. I'm doing this for you all, please try to understand. That's what the meaning of friendship should be."
Burizalor continued his horrible transformation as cracks were beginning to form over his body as if it were a shell about to hatch open. His low chuckles could be heard even from a far distance.
"Guys. Lets all hold up our digivices," TK said.
"What? What are you saying TK," asked Sora.
"Hold up your digivice. We all can give Metal Garurumon the power boost that he needs to win this fight. If we give it to him, then he will surely win this fight."
"Hey, I think it's a good idea," Chuumon said. "You have to give it a try. Anything is better than letting Burizalor beat him senseless."
The others looked at him as if he was crazy but they nodded their heads in agreement. Izzy, Kari, TK and Sora held up their digivices and crests. Beams of light came from both objects and were sent to Metal Garurumon.
"That's the way. You feel that energy?" asked Matt, "Is it making you stronger?"
"Yes. I can feel it increasing."
Mimi held up her digivice and crest. That energy was transferred to Metal Garurumon. Joe weakly got to his feet and held up both objects. He sends the combined energy straight to Metal Garurumon.
"Alright! We're sure to win now! Metal Garurumon, you're going to be awesome in a matter of moments," Matt said with excitement in the tone of his voice.
The area around Burizalor was crumbling as his body was starting to break out of its shell.
Matt kept his attention and sent more energy from his crest into Metal Garurumon. The metallic wolf's eyes were beginning to glow a gold color and his body emulated a bright light.
"That should do it," TK said.
"So is his power really going to rival that of Burizalor's?" asked Kari.
"I'm not sure."
"Well it's the last thing that we have. If Metal Garurumon doesn't stop Burizalor, there's no hope left," said Leomon.
These comments made Sora sigh and Tai came into her mind. She hoped for him and War Greymon to return to put an end to all of his misery. She had a feeling that they weren't long from their recovery period.
Suddenly, all the sighs and relieves were turned into frightened gasps as Burizalor let out a horrifying, blood-curling scream. Burizalor watched as his outer body shell cracked open. A large wave of energy swept across the landscape. The Digi-Destined turned to see Burizalor completing his transformation and a large gust of smoke surrounding him.
[Final Fantasy VII "Birth of a God"- Bizzaro Sephiroth's theme plays during Burizalor's transformation]
"Its Burizalor! His transformation is complete!" Kari cried out.
"We're too late! We should have gotten away," Leomon said, "I never thought this would be possible. I never felt such a frightening power such as this."
"He was bigger before," TK said, "I'm willing to bet that he's an even bigger monster than before."
The smoke was beginning to clear up. The Digi-Destined looked on. Matt smiled and nodded to Metal Garurumon. The metallic wolf turned to face his new adversary.
"You ready Metal Garurumon?"
"I'm ready for anything with this new upgrade."
"Then we attack when he reveals himself. I'm willing to bet that hes going to be uglier than before."
As the smoke was beginning to stir, the newly transformed Burizalor stood with a new appearance. He had a long, lizard-like tail. His body is a little smaller. His bulky armor was replaced by softer metallic-looking skin. He looked similar to his first form, when it came to size but his eyes had a more evil look in them.
When the Digi-Destined took a look at him, they were stunned. Even Leomon was stunned. They expected something bigger and nastier but what they got was a smaller version of his first form.
Matt smiled with satisfaction. He thought to himself that this would be an easy fight after all. Metal Garurumon turns to face the new Burizalor.
The smoke cleared and the newly transformed Burizalor turned his attention over to the seven children, Leomon and the digimon. A smirk forms on his face. He was ready to kill.
["Birth of a God" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Tai gasped at what he saw on his digivice. He read two power levels rising up to new heights. But one of them was much higher.
"Oh no. Something terrible must have happened. Where is that terrible power coming from? It can't be from any of the other Digi-Destined. No. Its from Burizalor! Damn! This is just my luck! Now what? I'm sorry, guys. I really am..."
Tai took another look over to the healing chamber and watched Agumon continuing his healing process. Would he be of any help against this evil force that has transformed three times?
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined took a look at Burizalor, who just manifested into his final form. Fear came over their faces. But then they started to look disappointed. They expected the titan of evil to be much bigger from his previous three forms. Leomon stood his ground and felt the monster's tremendous energy.
"Huh? Let me get this straight. That's Burizalor's final form?" asked Sora.
"Whoa, after all of that?" Chuumon pondered. "This is what we get in return? A crappy final form?"
"I'm kind of disappointed," TK said, "I expected him to be a little scarier than this."
"Yeah. I think its safe to say that we can pretty much take him on," Mimi said.
"That's another lesson to learn," Leomon replied, "Never judge a book by its cover. In this case, don't let his appearance fool you. Burizalor is still as dangerous, even more dangerous. His power has increased ten times from his last form."
The children gasped and turned back to face Burizalor. How could such a creature contain so much power after undergoing three transformations?
"How? How could he obtain that much power?" Magna Angemon asked, "This is just impossible."
"If only Tai and War Greymon returned, we would stand more of a chance."
Matt heard the two names that have plagued his mind since his arrival in the Digital World. He doesn't want Tai to come back for now it was his time to shine. He would help direct Metal Garurumon to defeating Burizalor.
***************************************************************************************
X witnessed the entire transformations of Burizalor. He feared the worst for the Digi-Destined.
"No! It can't be!" X exclaimed, "This was too soon!"
"What is it, X?" Keke asked. "What's wrong?"
Centaurumon, Piximon and Andromon walked over to listen to what X had to talk about. They were concerned for the Digi-Destined since leaving for Spiral Mountain.
"It's horrible. Burizalor has transformed into his true form. This makes his three previous forms look like total jokes. The Digi-Destined are in for it. Never have they faced an intimidating force. I just hope Agumon recovers fast."
"So, the kids don't stand a chance?"
"Not a chance in hell, Keke. Not a chance in hell. I can't believe it had to come down to this. Shit! Don't let your guard down, guys!"
***************************************************************************************
Tai walked back and forth. He just knew that Burizalor had undergone through transformation by picking up his power level off his digivice. But he had no idea that he has manifested into his final form. Time was of essence.
"Burizalor's power has grown tremendously. The others aren't faring very well. Huh? Whats this? One of the others has made one of the digimon stronger than before. That has got to be Metal Garurumon. Matt sure has packed a lot of power into him. That's good to know. Meanwhile, Agumon is still recovering from his wounds. Hopefully, they can hold Burizalor off at the moment. And I hope Sora is alright as well."
***************************************************************************************
The children and their digimon were about to make their move. Leomon pulls out his sword. Metal Garurumon turns to their direction and nods to them.
"Don't even think about it, you guys. He's ours," Matt said as he gave the others a cold look.
His eyes were full of intensity when he turned to face Burizalor.
Burizalor smirked and pointed out to them. The Digi-Destined looked at him with confusion across their faces.
"What is he doing?" said Kari.
"I don't know but I don't like the looks of it," replied TK.
"Everybody get down," Leomon cried out as he tackled the children down.
Burizalor shoots out a small beam from his finger and sends it towards the area where the other Digi-Destined were standing. It passed right by Matt. The beam passed right by Kari. It passed right by TK. It passed right by Sora. It passed right by Mimi. It passed right by Joe. It passed right by Leomon. The beam found targets. Izzy gasped in fear. All he could see was a flash of light. Chuumon could barely even blink when a flash appeared before him. An explosion occurs and the others watched on in total horror.
"Izzy! Chuumon!" Sora cried out.
The others could not believe it. Burizalor has taken out the boy and the rodent. Matt was angered at what he saw. He thought that Burizalor would kill Kari or TK, since their digimon were stronger than any normal digimon would be.
"Izzy. Chuumon. No. Izzy! Chuumon!" Mimi cried.
Sora and the others couldn't believe their eyes.
Chuumon had been wiped out and his body was turned into digital fragments. Izzy was lying on the ground with a hole in his chest. Tentomon flew over to Izzy to tend to him. Sadness overcame the comical insect. There was no movement from his body. This brought fear into the eyes of the Digi-Destined.
"Izzy! Chuumon! No!" TK cried out.
Leomon turned to face Burizalor and anger was overcoming him.
"Burizalor. You unforgiving monster!" Leomon snarled, "Your going to damn regret that!"
Burizalor simply pointed his finger down. A smile came across his face. He seemingly enjoyed taking out Izzy with one shot.
"A Digi-Destined and a small fry down. Plenty of more targets to go," Burizalor said, with a voice much similar to his first form but a bit deeper.
Tentomon looked over to Burizalor and was growling with anger. He wanted to digivolve but without Izzy around, the crest and digivice wouldn't react in order for him to digivolve as he wanted.
"Izzy. No. How could that monster?! He wasn't even considered the strongest of the Digi-Destined but he was the wisest!" Tentomon said under tears.
Matt turns to face Burizalor as he was about to order Metal Garurumon to go in to attack. But within a speed of light, Burizalor phased out. The Digi-Destined gasped in fear and looked around their surroundings.
"Be on the look out you guys!" Matt cried out, "He could be anywhere! Be prepared for anything!"
"Burizalor disappeared within a mere tenth of a second. Its safe to say that he's gotten a lot faster," Sora said, "But how much has his strength increased?"
Her answers would soon to answered as Burizalor phased right behind the group. The Digi-Destined and the digimon turned to face him. Each child had angry looks on their faces. They wanted to tear at him for what he did to Izzy. Matt and Metal Garurumon watched on from a far distance. It seems as though he wanted to take out the weakest links of the group.
"Its time for the final confrontation Digi-Destined. Your end has come and I will make sure it will be a painful one," Burizalor said with malice in his voice.
TK and Kari were infuriated as their crests began to glow and react to their emotions. Burizalor turned to look at the fallen Izzy.
"Oh. Looks like I inflicted some damage on him. He must have been really important to you. That's so sad. Oh well. What's done is done," Burizalor continued on.
TK wasn't as scared anymore and began to clench his fists. Kari did the same thing and stood by his side. Burizalor pointed to them.
"Looks like you two are eager to go next. Which one wants a shot at me first?"
"That is enough! Feel the power of Hope!"
"Light shall conquer your darkness!"
[Random Dragonball Z battle music plays during the fight]
Magna Angemon and Angewomon attacked Burizalor head on. The evil tyrant easily dodged their punches. They continued throwing more punches and kicks, but Burizalor easily dodged them as if they were thrown in slow motion.
"I'll take another shot at you," snarled Leomon as he charged in to attack.
Leomon and the two angels threw every attack they managed to use against Burizalor but they were ineffective. Angewomon shot out a ki-blast. Burizalor holds out his hand and cancels it out. Magna Angemon slashes at him with his saber but Burizalor ducked under and phased out. Leomon turned to use his Fist of the Beast King maneuver. Burizalor cancels it out with his palm. Leomon went to slash at him but Burizalor phased out.
Burizalor reappears on top of a cliff. He was basically toying with his adversaries. This really set off Garudamon. She formed a fireball in her hands.
"Take this!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Fist of the Beast King!"
The three combined blasts were sent hurling at Burizalor, but the tyrant easily phased out quickly. The combined attacks blasted a portion of the cliff. Suddenly everything went quiet. The digimon looked around in search of Burizalor. Now it seems as though Burizalor has hidden his power level.
"Grr! Come out and fight you damn coward," growled Matt, "Metal Garurumon taking a reading on his ki."
"Right."
Metal Garurumon began scanning the area and spotted a high power level near where TK was. The mega gasped under his breath.
"What is it?" Matt asked.
He noticed that Metal Garurumon gasped and showing fear.
"Burizalor! He's over where TK is at!"
"TK! Look out!"
TK turned to see Burizalor from a long distance. He pointed his finger over to TK and smiled.
"Die, Takeru."
He shoots out his beam and aimed it right for TK. Suddenly everything was set in slow motion. TK watched as the beam was coming his way. Magna Angemon tried with all his might to rush over to TK, but it looks like the beam was going at a much faster pace than Magna Angemon was trying to reach to TK. The boy was frozen in fear and couldn't move a muscle. Burizalor smiled as the beam was reaching near his target.
Magna Angemon was reaching as far as he can to push TK away but he wasn't there to make it in time. But Metal Garurumon jumped into the scene and pushed TK away. The beam went straight past them and went right into a large mountain.
The others watched as the beam hit the mountain head on. Within a matter of seconds, there was a huge sonic boom wave set off across the landscape. The mountain exploded as if it were nothing. It was quickly shattered under the powerful energy explosion. When the smoke cleared away, there was nothing left but a pile of small rubble. No traces of the former mountain anywhere.
The Digi-Destined went wide-eyed as did their digimon. They all fell backwards at the sight of what they just saw. One tiny blast from Burizalor's finger was powerful enough to blast away the tallest of mountains. This was just insane.
"I didn't even see him move a muscle," Lillymon said.
"How does he move so fast?!" Mimi cried.
Sora replied, "His movements are nearly invisible!"
"But somehow, Metal Garurumon was able to sense it coming," Leomon said, "Has he reached the level of power that X and Gennai were talking about?"
TK looked up at Metal Garurumon with relief.
"TK! Are you okay," asked Matt.
"Yeah! Thank you, brother! I was going to get blasted away for sure but thanks to Metal Garurumon, I'll still be able to stay in action."
"TK. Do not interfere."
"Huh? But why?" "That goes for all of you as well! I do not want any interference from any of you! Leave this fight to me and Metal Garurumon."
Sora growled after listening to Matt. In her view, Matt's ego was getting out of hand and if Tai were here, he wouldn't tolerate that kind of behavior as far as friendship was concerned.
"Well, he's certainly no Tai! I know Tai would do what's best for the group. Matt has no idea at what he's getting himself into. Does he not realize Burizalor's maximium power?"
Soon, Sora began to focus her attention back on the battlefield. She saw Matt and Metal Garurumon walking up to the battlefield. Burizalor took notice of this and stood his ground. A smirk forms over Matt's face.
"So what are you saying?" asked Leomon, "Are you saying that you and Metal Garurumon can take him on?"
"Oh yeah. You bet."
"Your crazy! How can you win?" Mimi cried as she held onto Joe.
Matt turns his attention right over to Burizalor. Metal Garurumon was ready to attack at any given opportunity. A smirk formed over the face of Burizalor.
"Your so delusional, Yamato. How do you possibly think you can withstand my radical power? You certainly don't have any brains."
"It really doesn't matter now. As far as I'm concerned, you're just not up to the upgrade that I have given Metal Garurumon. You've been begging for a challenge. Well look no further than to my digimon."
"Hmm?"
"That's right! Your worst nightmare has come true! He's going to be the one digimon that overthrows you. He's the chosen one!"
Burizalor's eyes widened at what Matt just said. He looked over to Metal Garurumon.
"What? Matt truly believes that Metal Garurumon is the destined digimon to overthrow Burizalor?" Sora said, "I have to see it to believe it."
"Oh yes. At last, the power is all ours. You're going down, Burizalor. I can guarantee you that," Matt said with a smirk on his face.
Suddenly, Burizalor began to chuckle. Then his chuckles became laughs. Matt frowned at his laughter.
"I never heard a pile of rubbish from such a little punk like yourself, Yamato. Why don't you let your digimon demonstrate his power to me and I'll decide where you stand as far as power goes."
"Fine. Metal Garurumon. Time to demonstrate. You're going to be begging him to stop after this is all said and done."
"Lets take a look then."
Matt nodded to Metal Garurumon. The metallic wolf let out a monstrous howl and the ground started to shake around him. A bright aura formed around Metal Garurumon. Matt's crest started to react to his power up. Burizalor watched as he read the power from his adversary. Metal Garurumon raised his power up a notch.
The others took notice of this and couldn't believe what they were seeing. The other digimon couldn't believe at what they felt.
"My goddramon. Feel that power," said Angewomon.
"I never felt a power from a digimon. His power even surpasses that of War Greymon's," Leomon exclaimed.
Metal Garurumon continued to power up as the ground started to crumble. Burizalor didn't seem to flinch and worry about the turn of events that were taking place. He doesn't even seem impressed with Metal Garurumon's upgrade.
"You can do it, big brother," TK said, "I know you can do it."
Kari looked over at TK and smiled. Sora clenched her fists and was getting concerned with Matt's decision to standing up against Burizalor.
*****************************************************************************************
Tai looked at his digivice and was surprised at what he saw. Now there was a reading from a high power level. But this time a signal from one of the other Digi-Destined.
"Wow, what a surprise! Whoever has gained this new power must have done it over a short period of time. If I knew anybody who could of done this, it would have to be Matt. There's no other possible explanation. This should get pretty interesting. Whatever you do, Matt, hold him off as much as you can. Poor Agumon has never been in a situation like this. Heck, I've never been in a situation where I'm out on the sidelines. This really stinks!"
***************************************************************************************
Metal Garurumon continued to power up as Burizalor watched on. He kept smiling during Metal Garurumon's power increase procedure. Matt concentrated more of his crest's power onto his digimon.
The others felt that this would be the final nail in the coffin for Burizalor. TK had the most confidence in his brother's abilities and put faith into the shoulders of Metal Garurumon. But will all of this be enough?
Metal Garurumon howled and let out a large wave of powerful energy. It sends a shock wave across the landscape and a bright aura that practically blinds the hell out of everybody. Everything seems to be a sudden white flash before everyone's eyes.
As the light slowly faded away, the Digi-Destined began to uncover their eyes. They couldn't believe to how much energy Metal Garurumon had released. As they got their sight back, they saw Metal Garurumon and sighed a great relief.
"What happened, TK?" asked Kari.
TK looked over at where his brother and Metal Garurumon were standing.
"Whoa! Way to Matt!"
"Don't celebrate too soon, guys," Sora said.
She points out to the other side of the battlefield and Burizalor was standing unimpressed.
"Oh man! Burizalor is still standing," TK said, "I thought for sure he would at least flinched.
"We were all wrong, TK," Mimi replied, "Izzy is done. Joe, you going to be ok?" "This is certainly the end for all of us."
Burizalor smiled at what just transpired. Matt couldn't understand what happened, he thought for sure that blast would of wiped out Burizalor.
"Well Yamato. That was some force. Is there any other tricks you like to pull out before I exterminate you?"
"No! We were just warming up! Now your going to get a taste of our true power once Metal Garurumon goes all out on you! So you better wipe that smirk off your face."
"Ha!"
"Ha! What's so funny? This is no joke. We're not jokers. We're taking you down, and there's no stopping us."
"Well then. You can keep on rambling on, because it will not get you anywhere. Why don't we finish this feud, my friend?"
"Shut the hell up! Metal Garurumon attack!"
[Dragonball Z Japanese "Fight Music" plays during the fight]
Metal Garurumon steps forward and shoots out a ice beam at Burizalor. The evil tyrant easily slaps it away. Metal Garurumon flies at Burizalor and throws in claw slashes. Burizalor was able to dodge them easily. Metal Garurumon seems to be keeping up with Burizalor as far as speed was concerned and at one point almost had him. But Burizalor phased out. Metal Garurumon looked up to see Burizalor floating up. He shot out Giga Missiles at him. Burizalor phased away from the missiles.
"Wow, check him out! He's got Burizalor on the run now, Kari," TK said.
"Oh yeah! He's sure to win! If this can't put Burizalor away, then I don't know what can."
"No!" growled Leomon, "He can't. He won't win..."
The Digi-Destined looked over to Leomon as if he were talking crazy but there was a sign of panic on the face of Leomon.
"Just because Metal Garurumon got himself a new upgrade, its still not enough. Burizalor still has him beat as far as speed and power is concerned, but Burizalor also has technique."
The kids took it hard but believed everything that Leomon just explained. TK looked over to the battle that was ensuing between Burizalor and Metal Garurumon.
"Ice Wolf Claw!"
The evil one phased out from the ice blast and allowed it to penetrate the ground instead. Metal Garurumon goes for a head butt attack but Burizalor phased out. Metal Garurumon looked up and saw Burizalor shooting down beams at him. He maneuvers away from the ki-blasts and flies up. He goes to slash Burizalor but misses as Burizalor phases out. Metal Garurumon turns to see Burizalor hovering as if he wasn't wasting his breath. Metal Garurumon flew at Burizalor for an attack but Burizalor phased out. Metal Garurumon gasped and looked around his surroundings.
["Fight Music" ends]
"Where did he go? Metal Garurumon, can you pick up a reading on his location?" Matt asked.
"I can try. He's hiding his energy. So it makes it harder for me to sense his presence."
"Shoot. Alright, just be on the look out."
The other Digi-Destined watched on and couldn't believe how fast Burizalor disappeared. Leomon gasped in fear at what he saw. The Digi-Destined turned to see what they couldn't believe.
Matt and Metal Garurumon turned to find Burizalor on a small ledge just a few yards away. The evil tyrant looked over at his adversaries. Matt gasped in fear.
"No, this can't be! How is this possible?!"
"Well, you're not as strong as you think you are. You and your digimon have disappointed me. Your attacks are laughable. I can't believe I was wasting my time worrying about you."
"This doesn't look good!" exclaimed TK.
"Now how are we supposed to beat him?" Kari asked.
"We can't even put a dent into his shiny new armor," said Sora, "Is Metal Garurumon even a match for Burizalor?"
Leomon nodded in disagreement.
"Nobody. Not even Metal Garurumon stands a chance against Burizalor."
This sent fear and chills down the spines of the children after hearing what Leomon just said. TK watched on in fear of his brother and his digimon.
***************************************************************************************
Tai sat down and waited impatiently for Agumon to recover from his healing chamber. He took a reading on his digivice and gasped to what he saw.
"Burizalor. You might have momentum now, but wait until you meet War Greymon. Your evil reign is about to come to an end."
Burizalor's final transformation has proven to be even deadlier than the previous two. Even an upgraded Metal Garurumon has been unable to touch the monster. Hurry up, Taichi! Agumon needs to be completely healed before you head back out to help your friends! Now doomsday has eclipsed the digital world.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Taichi and Agumon Spring into Action! The Death of Friendship?
Matt looked towards where Burizalor was standing. There was fear in his eyes. He couldn't believe how much Burizalor's power has increased through his three most recent transformations. This was more than even a mega like Metal Garurumon can handle. Metal Garurumon looked stunned. His attacks couldn't even dent Burizalor.
"I can't believe this. There's no way! No way that Burizalor can dodge every attack that we have thrown at him. His power has increased tremendously, but his speed is out of this world,"Matt thought to himself, "If only I would of went with Tai into that secret training room, so that Gabumon would of trained himself. Even the combination of our crest's powers was no match against him. Leomon may have been right. Nobody does stand a chance against this monster."
Burizalor looked over to Matt as a smile came over his face. It looked like that he didn't run out of energy just yet. He was getting warmed. How much power does this creature possess with such a physical limitation.
Matt could remember to what Burizalor had told him during their first confrontation. This took place when the Digi-Destined were searching for him after leaving a second time from the real world.
Flashback
Matt now has gone face to face with the most evil creature to ever walk the Digital World, Burizalor. Burizalor pointed to him.
"So you must be the one called Yamato Ishida."
"Yeah that's me and you must be Burizalor. Neo Devimon told me everything about you. I knew Tai wouldn't call me here without T.K. I know Tai all too well. Nice try on using his voice though."
"I try, but that's not why I called you here."
"Hmmm?"
"I've witnessed your digimon kill off some of most powerful digimon with ease and with merciless actions."
"Oh so you've been spying on me, huh?!"
"No, Yamato. I can witness your battles through my mind. I can sense any type of activity in the Digital World within a blink of an eye."
"I expected you to be more intimidating. Gennai never mentioned anything about you."
"Oh he didn't?"
"Yeah."
"Well, allow me to tell my side of the story. I am ruthless and I don't give a damn about this worthless Digital World. To me, this is like a game. I'm just using it to my own advantage. But you see there are reasons."
"Why?!"
"My, my. Your so full of questions aren't you, Yamato? Well I might as well answer them for you. You see, I came here to take my rightful sport as ruler of many worlds. I destroyed other worlds and I have claimed my rights in conquering them. When I learned about this world, I was thrilled to see what it would offer me, but I was sealed back to my world Gennai and his forces. When the time came, I sealed all four Holy Beasts by weakening their defenses. This gave me the chance to return. I was told of the four Digital Cores. Once all four is collected then the person in possession of them will gain an immortal status of the Digital World. I knew I would become a god. Once that would be accomplished, I can venture into your Earth world and continue on where Myotismon left off."
"So you sent Myotismon to Earth?!"
"Myotismon had other agendas in mind. While he planned to become ruler of two worlds, I desire to conquer more worlds. As you know, there are other worlds besides my own, your world and the Digital World. They will all belong to me!"
"But why?!"
"Easy, I was destined to. I lead by example and I want everyone to fear my presence. No human or digimon stands a chance against me. Even the strongest of digimon were wiped out by my power within seconds, so what makes you think that you Digi-Destined can defeat me?"
"We work together! That's why! We defeated other enemies by working together!"
"Yes. Devimon, Etemon and Myotismon were all threats. But they are just merely low-class warriors compared to me. I'm a warlord of evil. But I'm not here to fight you. I want to make an offer."
"I'm listening."
"Why don't you join me? You don't seem like the hero type, not after the way you desire power. You ordered your digimon to kill some of my soldiers with a cold passion. You thrive on power just like me. You desire to be better than the one called Taichi."
"Him?"
"Yes, Taichi is the one you hate. You should work for me. You can learn a lot and you can achieve more than you already have. You can live like a god."
"Like a god. Me?"
"Yes. You have ice running through your veins much like myself. You can be the highest ranking soldier and become the highest power, second only to mine."
"Second only to yours?"
Matt stood there frozen. He couldn't make a decision. He didn't want to remain a second to Tai and remain in the shadow of him. But at the same time, he didn't want to betray his friends. This was too hard for him. Burizalor began circling like a vulture. His presence made Matt show fear but he tried not to show it.
"Well, Yamato? I'm waiting."
"Burizalor..."
"Yes?"
"I...I..."
Matt took a step back. He paused and gulped at the thought.
"You have a deal. I'll do anything to defeat Tai and take my brother back. He won't live to get away with it. You're on, Burizalor."
"Ah, I knew you would come around. It's settled then. Welcome to my forces, Yamato. You will lead by example."
End of Flashback
"I can't believe that I've aligned myself with the devil. His power is truly frightening. Even the speed and ferocity of Metal Garurumon has been able to lay a fist on him. He's just too damn fast."
"So what now, Matt? Any plans of action?"
"I'm afraid not.
"Yamato. We shouldn't continue on like this, because even if you attempt to give it your all, it will lead to your downfall. I suggest a surrender on your behalf."
Matt turned to face Burizalor. There was no way that Metal Garurumon could keep up with the newly transformed Burizalor. He had to think of a way to counterattack the monster's onslaught.
"You keep bragging on how your digimon is destined to defeat me. You proclaim him to be the chosen one. Well I have news for you. I just don't see anything great from him thus far. You're such a delusional fool. I might as well waste this whole Digital World and move onto Earth. Because no digimon has given me the challenge that I have been looking for."
Matt grasped his crest and growled. He looked over to Metal Garurumon and held up his crest. His body started to emulate a metallic blue color. Burizalor took notice of this. He was getting a little concerned.
"No, Burizalor! Metal Garurumon is the chosen one that will defeat you! And I shall prove it to you! The power of friendship shall overcome your darkness!"
Metal Garurumon gathered more power from Matt's glowing crest. Burizalor's eyes widened with concern. He felt Metal Garurumon's power rising from the crest.
"Let him have it!"
[Final Fantasy VII "Jenova Battle" plays in sequence during the battle]
Metal Garurumon shoot out a large ice beam and sent it straight for Burizalor. The evil tyrant took his time as he jumped over the beam with ease. Metal Garurumon growled in anger and started firing more ice beams at Burizalor. He easily dodged each of the beams.
"Whoa. Look at him go. Yeah! Knock it to him," TK cried out.
Kari looked up at the battle that was ensuing.
"They move so fast! Burizalor seems to faster than Metal Garurumon."
"That doesn't matter," replied Leomon, "Metal Garurumon is strong but his blasts didn't even touch Burizalor. Yes they were right on target but they miss him by just a split second."
Sora looked to Leomon and said, "No way. Then Metal Garurumon has no chance. Matt better call him off before we lose him."
Metal Garurumon continued to fire away at Burizalor. Burizalor dodged each blast and made Metal Garurumon lose his aim. His attacks were becoming sloppy and Burizalor took advantage of this. Matt knew that Metal Garurumon wasn't even aiming the right way and was losing his composure. It seemed as though Metal Garurumon was losing esteem. He was also getting burned out.
Just as Metal Garurumon was going to blast another beam, Burizalor fazed right in front of him. Metal Garurumon and Matt gasped in horror at what just transpired. Burizalor smiled with sheer delight.
"Whoa, did you just see that?" Sora asked, "He was fast enough to reach him! I don't know how much longer Metal Garurumon can take more of this."
Izzy was slowly revived from Burizalor's beam. It barely killed him. Tentomon was relieved. Mimi and Lillymon tended to him, as the others watched the battle about to ensue.
"Burizalor. You may have us out beat for now, but we won't give up! Lunatic!"
Metal Garurumon flew up and gathered energy. He formed a beam of icy energy in his snout. Burizalor looked up and began to sense his adversary's power level. Metal Garurumon felt the power of the energy blast reach maximum power. Matt held onto his crest and it gave his digimon more energy to supply the ice beam.
"Matt! You can do it!" TK said, "Just have Metal Garurumon release it. There's no way, he can counter this!"
"Ice Beam!"
Metal Garurumon aims it at Burizalor. The evil tyrant took notice of this as he calmly took several steps back. At first, he didn't even flinch. But as the energy blast came closer, he felt its enormous energy. With that about to happen, Burizalor jumped up and punched the energy blast away into the sky. Metal Garurumon growled in anger but he showed fear as well. Matt couldn't believe it. The blast exploded as it started showering down small energy blasts. Burizalor was rather satisfied at what he just did.
["Jenova Battle" theme ends]
"No way! No damn way! Metal Garurumon gave it everything he had in that blast! How is this possible? Not even the maximum power of my crest has enough fire power to supply Metal Garurumon with."
"Well. I just proved to you that even at your best of fighting power, your digimon has proven to be a weakling. So why don't we finish this little game."
Matt could hardly do anything as he had just lost all hope. Metal Garurumon was slowly losing grip on his energy. Burizalor smiled when he felt their power decrease.
"This is not good. Is there any hope left for any of us? I don't think even the Crest of Friendship is going to help any. Metal Garurumon gave it everything that he had. But Burizalor was just too much for him. I fear the worst to come in a matter of moments. TK. Tai. I'm sorry. I tried my best. I just couldn't live up to my expectations as a leader like you, Tai. I let everyone down..."
*****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back over on X's planet, Keke stood as she pressed her hands over her chest. She felt her heart stop for a second. She sensed that an unforgiving event was about to take place. It involved Matt.
"Oh, Matt…"
X looked over to Keke and sighed in disappointment.
"I'm sorry, Keke."
"It's all over for, Matt. I can't believe it had to come down to this. He let his anger blind him from the truth. Burizalor's power has grown to new heights. He's about to meet his demise.
"Unfortunately, it will take place," X replied. "I sense that terror has struck in the depths of Matt's soul. He's feeling despair and sheds tears. Those tears reveal his fear of the tyrant. He has lost his will to fight."
"No, this can't be possible."
"It is the truth. It's sad that it had to come to this. Now Burizalor will take advantage of the battle. Gennai has passed on. The digicores are useless. The Digi-Destined do not have a chance. Doomsday has arrived for the digital universe."
*****************************************************************************************
"Well then. Shall we get started?"
[Final Fantasy VII "Spehiroth's Theme" plays during Burizalor's attack]
Matt turned to see Burizalor hovering up. Metal Garurumon couldn't even move a muscle. His body was so stressed out from the large amounts of energy he absorbed from the crest. Too much power was a bad thing and his body was starting to wear out. Matt cried out as tears were forming in his eyes and his crests' glow was starting to fade away.
Burizalor flew up like a speeding torpedo and went straight head on with Metal Garurumon. The metallic wolf was unable to maneuver out of the way and watched as Burizalor nails him in the face. Metal Garurumon goes flying back. Burizalor flies up and hovers down. He then pulls back and drives his fist into Metal Garurumon. Burizalor then hammers his fists into the back of the metallic mega. Matt watched as Metal Garurumon came falling to the ground.
"Metal Garurumon!"
The mighty digimon fell into a large lake as a large splash exploded out of the impact. Metal Garurumon sunk to the bottom, while he was trying to recover.
"Matt!" TK cried out, "Metal Garurumon!"
"He hammered Metal Garurumon like if he were garbage disposal!" Sora replied, "Now we're in trouble!"
Burizalor came hovering over the lake. He looked down and felt Metal Garurumon's presence. His power was fading away after enduring those head on attacks.
"Heh. Well. I think its time I flush you out."
Burizalor put his two hands out and pushed them up. Suddenly, the water started to rise up and float. The Digi-Destined could not believe what they were seeing. Matt couldn't believe what he was seeing. Burizalor pushes back and sends the floating water over. This allows him to hover down to the fallen Metal Garurumon. Metal Garurumon couldn't move an inch as Burizalor picks him up.
"What's wrong? Are you having a seizure? You seem too tense. Maybe a little wake up call is what you need. So, how about it? Oh well, suit yourself."
And with that being said, Burizalor tosses Metal Garurumon back onto the surface. Matt ran over to his digimon but was stopped as Burizalor phased in front of him.
"You monster! How can you enjoy hurting him?"
"Would you like to be next? Because I'm looking forward to shutting that big mouth of yours."
Matt stood his ground. Burizalor walks back over to Metal Garurumon and picks him up by the neck with his tail. Burizalor smiles and delivers several fists into Metal Garurumon's chest. Burizalor rams his fist into Metal Garurumon's chest again. Matt goes running to save his partner but Burizalor sees him coming and rams his other fist into Matt's stomach. Matt drops to his knees and holds his gut. He began to spew some blood out as a result of it.
The others watched on in utter horror at what Burizalor just did to Matt. TK tried to run to save his brother but Magna Angemon held him back. TK kicked and cried but there wasn't anything he could do. The others would not allow TK to get himself hurt.
Burizalor continued on punching Metal Garurumon in the gut. Metal Garurumon howled in pain while feeling the effects of Burizalor's powerful punches. They punches felt like jackhammers ramming into concrete. Metal Garurumon could take so much. Matt wasn't able to move and was forced to watch his partner get trashed by the evil tyrant.
["Sephiroth's Theme" ends]
"Metal Garurumon. I'm sorry. I failed as a leader. Tai. I tried to become a leader like you but I've failed. I tried my very best. Hopefully, everybody forgives me. Sora, I'm sorry. TK, I failed as a brother. Burizalor is just too strong. Tai, we need you.
***************************************************************************************
Tai was sitting down and looking at his digivice. His face turned into an expression of worry. The power readings from the other digimon have been pretty low and that of Burizalor's has been on the rise ever since his last transformation.
"I can't believe this! Metal Garurumon is just about out! Everybody else seems helpless. Maybe we have lost this battle. Burizalor may just be too much for us to handle. Its all hopeless..."
Suddenly Tai heard a loud beeping and turned to see the healing process complete.
"Alright! It's done! Agumon is healed! Hold on buddy, I'll get you out of there!"
Tai picks up a chair and smashes the glass window open. Tons of water started pouring out from the chamber and Agumon came tumbling out. Tai ran over to his digimon partner.
"Agumon… Agumon can you hear me? C'mon buddy, its me."
Agumon started to open his eyes and he shook the cobwebs out of his head. He looked up to Tai and smiled. He was happy to see his partner again.
"Tai. I feel a lot stronger. That was sure a long sleep. I had a good dream, I was dreaming that I had a big buffet over at the Vegiemon..."
"Agumon, there's no time for that. Though I wouldn't mind you telling me how much you ate."
"I can sense a really evil ki."
"Yeah, its Burizalor. According to my digivice's readings, the others aren't faring well."
"Well what are we doing standing around here for? Lets take action now!"
"Right, time to digivolve!"
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence]
Tai held out his crest and digivice as they started to glow. They gave Agumon the chance to digivolve to his mega level. Agumon definitely could feel the power and was ready to go.
"Agumon warp shinka!"
Agumon evolves through his Greymon and Metal Greymon stages as he finally reaches his mega level. Claws appeared on his hands, armor forms over his body and his power increased ten times than it had before.
"War Greymon!"
Tai hopped onto War Greymon as they broke through the roof of the base. War Greymon hovered up and looked out into the Digital World. He took readings from where the battle was taking place. He felt a tremedously high power level.
"What do you sense?"
"An evil ki on the other section of his area. That's got to be Burizalor."
"Then lets get ready for action!"
["Evolution" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor continued to punch away at Metal Garurumon like a punching bag as the others watched on helplessly. Matt was still trying to recover as he held his chest. More blood was spewing from his mouth after getting attacked by the evil tyrant. It was only a matter of moments before he will lose his digimon.
The Digi-Destined watched on in utter horror as Burizalor continued to drive fists into the chest of a weakening Metal Garurumon. They were helpless to save him since Burizalor's power has reached new levels of power that they were unable to match.
Matt couldn't do anything since he was nailed in the chest by one of Burizalor's powerful fists. He felt like crap and his stomach was throbbing as if two jackhammers had rammed into his chest. Its incredible to how much power Burizalor has achieved after transforming into his final form.
"This is just insane. I thought I had him. Metal Garurumon had basically rivaled Burizalor's power, but somehow, this monster was able to hide his true power. But I never imagined his power to be this frightening. After he nailed me, I figured out how much powerful he has gotten. I tried to be a leader like Tai and look where it has gotten me. Tai. I'm sorry..."
Burizalor continued hammering at Metal Garurumon. The metallic wolf spat out a load of blood. The crimson mass spewed over Burizalor's face. But the evil tyrant licked the blood off of his face as if it were an appetizer. He seemingly enjoyed inflicting pain on his adversary and drawing first blood.
"Hang on Matt! I'm coming to help," TK cried as he attempted to run out to save his older brother.
Magna Angemon was there to hold him back. TK cried out and struggled to break free of his grasp but Magna Angemon nodded his head. TK couldn't do anything since he would just get in the way. But he couldn't stand seeing his brother struggling and watching Metal Garurumon getting the stuffing beat out of him.
Burizalor continued on the punishment on Metal Garurumon. Matt got up to his feet again and ran to save his digimon partner. Burizalor turns to see Matt running but visibly holding his chest. Burizalor gives him a nasty fist to the gut again. Matt falls to his knees and coughs up some blood. Burizalor hammers Matt down. Matt falls onto the dirt as he struggles.
"Well, where were we? Oh yes."
Burizalor continued to punch Metal Garurumon as if he were a punching bag. He turns to face the other Digi-Destined. A cruel smile came over his face.
"Your all welcome to line up and join in, my dear friends."
The others could only watch in sheer horror at the sight of Metal Garurumon getting tortured at the hands of the evil tyrant. Was there any hope to stop this monster without a conscience?
***************************************************************************************
War Greymon felt Burizalor's evil power and began to hover up.
"You sense anything yet, War Greymon?"
"Yes. It's over on the right section of this area. Burizalor is over there and there's a dying power level. That has got to be Metal Garurumon."
"Then lets get on over there pronto!"
"Right."
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor had stopped punching away at Metal Garurumon and loses his grip on the metallic wolf's neck with his tail. As Metal Garurumon began to drop to the ground, Burizalor kicks him away as if he were a soccer ball. Metal Garurumon goes crashing into the ground.
"That's enough. You've won. Just leave him alone," Matt said weakly.
He reached out to Metal Garurumon. Burizalor took notice of this and walks over to Matt. He picks him up and drives his fist into his chest again.
"I hope you realize your mistake, Yamato. You and your digimon were never a match against me."
Burizalor drills Matt in the face and tosses him up. Burizalor phases up and whips him away with his tail. Matt goes crashing into the ground.
TK and the others watched on in horror. The little boy was building anger inside of him that he wanted to get at Burizalor but was scared stiff to do anything. He knew that he would just get in the way and become Burizalor's next target.
Burizalor hovers down and walks over to the fallen Matt. Rock piles were on top of Matt as the boy began to struggle. Pain was overcoming him like never before. Burizalor walked over to the fallen rocks and blasted them away with small beams. Matt was gasping for air as if he was dying. He looked up at Burizalor. The heartless tyrant looked down at him as if he were going to kill him.
"So, any last requests before you go?"
"Yeah. You can go to hell..."
"Well if you really wanted to die that quickly, you should of just asked."
Burizalor stomps away at Matt and watched the boy spit out a bucket full of blood. The others couldn't believe that such a being would inflict this much pain on a human being.
"Tai. We really need you. When will you come and save us,"Sora thought to herself.
Burizalor picks up Matt and looked down at the boy. Tears were coming down his eyes. Burizalor smiled and pulled his hand back. A blade unscathed itself out of his hand and was ready to stab Matt.
"Goodnight Yamato. It was nice knowing you. Rest in peace, warrior of friendship."
Just as he was about to drive his blade into the boy...
***************************************************************************************
War Greymon quickly phased out with Tai. He flew off in the speed of light and would soon appear on the battlefield.
**************************************************************************************
Burizalor felt a gust of powerful wind rush by him. He stopped for a moment to see who it was. The other Digi-Destined turned to see who it was that appeared.
Before them, War Greymon was standing there with Tai at his side. The others were happy to see him and they jumped for joy.
"Hey its alright guys!" Tai said, "Its just us."
"Tai!" Sora cried out, "We're so glad to see you!"
Sora ran up to hug Tai. Kari ran up as she hugged her brother. The others crowded around him so to speak.
Burizalor turned to see War Greymon. Then he turned to face Tai.
"So I see that you all have gotten stronger," War Greymon said, "I'm impressed."
"Yes. But even our combined powers have been ineffective against Burizalor," Magna Angemon said.
Angewomon nodded in agreement, "We tried everything. He's transformed through three forms already. He's gotten faster and stronger."
War Greymon turned to face Burizalor again. The evil tyrant kept his eyes on War Greymon as if he were waiting for this battle for a long time.
"You guys don't have to worry about a thing," Tai said, "War Greymon will take it from here."
"Huh? Boy, have you lost it?" Leomon asked, "How could War Greymon stand a chance against Burizalor?"
"He's going to get killed if that happens," Sora attempted to remind Tai.
"No, we're fine," Tai replied.
War Greymon walked on over to Burizalor, who was holding Matt. Burizalor drops Matt and turns his attention to his newest adversary.
"So you must be Burizalor. Your the one responsible for the horrible chains of events that have occurred in the Digital World."
"Hmph, I missed another piece of trash. I guess I'll have to clean you up then."
War Greymon looked over to the fallen Metal Garurumon and the injured Matt.
"Well, whatever problems you have with them. You can take them up with me now."
Burizalor turns his attention to Tai and feels some energy from him. He could hardly recognize who he was.
"Hmm. Wait a minute, that face looks familiar. I swear I've seen him before."
Matt was regaining his composure and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tai standing. A smile came over his face and he cried out.
"Tai. You finally made it. Thank god..."
"Tai? But that's an earthling name, isn't it? Tai? Hmmm. Yes. That's got to be him! Taichi!"
Burizalor took a closer look at Tai and saw the crest of courage. His eyes widened but then he smiled. At last, the warrior of courage has arrived. He has been waiting for the day he would meet that warrior of courage. Suddenly, he began to have several flashbacks from the past.
Flashback
Burizalor was on a path of destruction during his first venture into the Digital World many, many cycles ago. He remembered seeing 'human children' in the Digital World before the original eight. And he could remember that one of them held the crest of courage. That boy had an unknown origin, but he looked similar to Tai.
Burizalor's mission was to take over the Digital World but he had to defeat the Digital World's forces in order to realize his goal. These children were a thorn in the side to him. He was to exterminate them. As he was about to set his plan into action, the tyrant was sent into the dark dimension. Gennai and the Holy Beasts were responsible for this. They used the Digital Cores to stop Burizalor.
Since that event, Burizalor plotted vengeance on Gennai and the Holy Beasts. He was so eager in fighting that warrior who inherited the crest of courage. As he returned back into the Digital World, that boy who possessed the crest of courage had already disappeared. Burizalor was left to destroy and conquer many parts of the Digital World.
Then the eight children that came from earth returned back to save the Digital World. Burizalor was eager to destroy them, but was so obsessed in fighting the new child who inherited the crest of courage. That boy would end up being Taichi Kamiya, or Yagami Taichi. It was as Burizalor as predicted in the first place. But how Burizalor knew it was Tai was a mystery in itself.
Now this was Burizalor's time to show this new boy of courage what he's really made of. Plus with the rumors going around concerning a warrior of fusion was making Burizalor even more eager. But he knew that was just a legend that has never happened and never will happen as long as he's still breathing.
His time to face the warrior of courage has come and it has come with a perfect opportunity at a perfect time.
End of Flashback
"Ah. Taichi. It's so good to finally see you. I've been longing for the day that I meet the boy who inherits the crest of courage."
"Yeah. Well I haven't been looking forward in seeing your disgusting presence."
"Oh is that so? Well, why don't you have your digimon demonstrate his power? These other weaklings have been a waste of my time. Maybe you could supply me with the challenge that I've been waiting for."
"Maybe. Why don't you try me? War Greymon, you ready?"
"You bet I am."
"Tai don't be such a fool. You're going to get killed," Matt managed to speak, "Metal Garurumon has fought him. He wasn't so lucky your making a mistake..."
"Just hang in there, Matt. I know what I'm doing."
"So, you ready to make your first move, big shot?"
"Be my guest."
Burizalor phased out and appeared in front of War Greymon as he was about to throw in a punch but War Greymon phased out. War Greymon appears at the side and decks Burizalor with a punch to the face. Burizalor goes jumping back into a rock ledge.
"Whoa! Incredible!" Kari said, "I couldn't even see his movements!"
"Neither could I," said TK.
The Digi-Destined were wide-eyed at what they saw. War Greymon was the first to actually nail Burizalor at this moment of time. War Greymon didn't even seem to put any effort.
Matt couldn't believe at what he just saw. Metal Garurumon couldn't even lay a hand on Burizalor but War Greymon was able to nail him.
Burizalor got to his feet and felt a small wound on his cheek. He rubbed it. The sensation was foreign to him since nobody has been able to really inflict any kind of real damage to him.
"Surprised weren't you?"
"Oh you just caught me off guard. I wasn't able to see that one coming."
"Nice try. You bad guys come up with some of the lamest excuses just to cover your cheap ass acts."
"Oh is that so? I can tell that you have no sense of humor. So you need to lighten up."
Burizalor pointed his finger towards Tai as a way to destroy War Greymon at the same time.
"Oh no!" Kari cried out.
"Don't try to block it!" Sora said, "Its too fast!"
With that being said, Burizalor shoots out a beam and fired it towards Tai. Just as it was about to hit Tai, War Greymon phased in front of his partner and slapped it away with ease. The beam was sent straight into the sky as it exploded.
"What? He was able to block it with ease? How is this possible," Burizalor said, "That should have destroyed any normal digimon. Hmmm. Perhaps this warrior has something that I don't even know about."
Slowly, Matt was regaining his composure and he managed to chuckle under his breath.
"Don't you see, Burizalor. You are the one who is dillusional. You said that there was no such thing as the fused warrior. Well, sorry to burst your bubble. If anybody is the merged warrior destined to defeat you, it will be War Greymon..."
Burizalor's eyes widened in fear at the sound of 'fused warrior'. He has been denying that fact that there have been legends of a destined warrior of two souls that would rise up and defeat the emperor of evil, that emperor being Burizalor.
"Yes. He's the merged warrior. Your worst nightmare has come true. I have to admit that I was a fool to believe that Metal Garurumon was the merged warrior. Oh well. That was a big mistake on my part. Maybe we're both delusional. So what do you have to say about that? Huh..."
Burizalor stood there listening to Matt's senseless babbling. He couldn't take it anymore and shot out a beam and sent it straight at Matt. The beam went right through Matt's crest and chest. Blood came spewing out as soon as the beam penetrated through his chest. The crest shattered into pieces along with the tag.
The other Digi-Destined gasped in fear at what just transpired. Matt has fallen victim to Burizalor's onslaught.
"Now, I've told you once, Yamato. I don't like anymore of your fairytales," the evil one muttered.
Tai watched on in horror and watched as his best friend was slowly dying. He ran up to him. This infuriated War Greymon even more.
"What the hell is your deal, Burizalor?! He was too weak to even attack."
"It was the only way to shut his damn mouth."
"You're going to regret that!"
"Matt!" TK cried as he ran up to his brother.
Tai and TK crowded around the fallen Matt. TK covered his eyes at what he saw. There was a large hole in Matt's chest, but Matt was strong enough to hold back on the pain.
"TK. Stay back!" Tai ordered and wanted to make sure that the little boy would not see the damage inflicted on Matt. "Matt. It's going to be okay, buddy. Oh man. You're bleeding to death. Just hang it in there, dude."
Matt slowly nodded his head and looked up at Tai. Tears came running down his face.
"Tai. I'm sorry..."
"Huh, why?"
[Final Fantasy VII "Aeris' Death" theme plays during the emotional scene]
"I was… Ugh… I was such a fool. I tried to be a good leader… Gah… Just like you but I wasn't able to succeed. Metal...Metal Garurumon and… I tried our best to hold him off…" Matt managed to speak despite suffering convulsions.
"And you did your best. You are a proud member of the Digi-Destined. You did the right thing. You know, I always thought you were just some egomaniac looking to take my spot by force, but you really proved to be a true leader during my absence."
"No… Tai. I failed… I don't deserve the crest of friendship as you can see. I'm dying… I underestimated Burizalor's power… "
"We didn't expect this creep to have this large amount of power either but he showed it to us and now its time we put him in his place."
"TK thinks… I'm a bad brother… Sora hates me…"
"Don't say that, dude. Man, I don't know why you're being so negative. Look, you did me a favor. And you did yourself a favor. TK is proud to have you as your brother. You and Metal Garurumon protected him. You protected Sora."
"Yes, but… Joe… and… Izzy are down… Chuumon is gone… This is all because of my irresponsibility."
"Its not your fault. As you can see, they're fine and recovering. I can't say the same for Chuumon. So why don't you get all that negativity out of your system and fight the pain. Maybe the last amount of power of your crest should help."
"No it's wasted just like myself… Just look at Burizalor, Tai. Look at him… He enjoys inflicting pain. He loves seeing others suffer… He thrives on killing. He's proud of it, Tai… You and War Greymon are our only hopes… You two must defeat Burizalor before he takes over both worlds…"
"Matt…"
With that being said, Matt let out his last breath and closed his eyes. His body stopped quivering and he died. Tai kneeled over his body and a few teardrops were coming down his face. TK looked over his brother and started to let out more tears.
There was sadness amongst the group. They had just lost one of their own. Metal Garurumon de-digivolved back to Gabumon, and remained unconscious.
["Aeris' Death Theme" ends]
As silence took place, Burizalor was standing there chuckling.
"Well that was sure a pleasant scene. No more ramblings from that little punk."
Tai turned to face Burizalor with an angry look on his face. War Greymon just about wanted to tear Burizalor's head off for what he did.
"Matt. You made us proud. You weren't as jerk as I first thought you were," Tai said, "You had the will of a true leader. You looked after the welfare of the others while I was gone. But I feel guilty for not being here in the first place."
Tai's crest started to glow and an orange aura of light covered his entire body. The crest also gave him new strength as he picked up Matt's limp body and carried him away from the battlefield. He found a large hole in the ground that seemed to be large enough to hold a dead body.
"War Greymon, will you come over here please?"
"Of course."
Tai lays Matt's body into the hole and looks down at him.
"TK. I want you to stay with the group. Do it now."
"Yes Tai."
"War Greymon, bury him. I don't want him to have to see this battle. May his soul rest."
War Greymon fired a beam at the ground and picked up a load of dirt. He walks over to the hole and drops several pounds of dirt over the body of Matt.
"Matt. You had the will of a leader. Your traits are almost similar to mine. You may have been stubborn but you were proud. You wanted my spot as leader this whole time. But you changed for the better. I also like to thank you for looking out for my little sister, Sora, you little brother, Mimi, Joe, Izzy and the others. If I were to say anything to you now, it would be thank you. You do deserve the crest of friendship."
Tai turns his attention back to Burizalor and he had a will of desire in his eyes. War Greymon finished burying Matt and faced the evil tyrant.
"You know something. Matt was right, you have no conscience. And I promise, War Greymon and I will finish you!"
"Oh yeah? We will see about that. But will you live up to your guarantees?"
"You bet we will," Tai and War Greymon said together.
Matt has now seen the light. His spirit has been lifted into another world. This leaves Tai as the last savior for the Digital World? Burizalor has taken the lives of many and has left a bad reputation as a monster with no conscience. And now that Tai and War Greymon have arrived, will the inheritors of courage be enough to beat this powerful foe?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
The Clash of the Two Super Powers! War Greymon and Burizalor Collide!
Burizalor and War Greymon were far away from each other and they eyed each other. Now a big battle was about to go down between these two.
Tai stood by his partner and held his crest tightly. It began to glow an orange color and War Greymon was taking more power from it.
The other Digi-Destined were about to embark one of the greatest battles they have ever seen. They watched as War Greymon slowly walked up to the evil Burizalor. Tai stood his ground with his glowing crest of courage.
"Burizalor. You seem to delight other digimon and people suffer. You treat them as if they were disposable garbage! You destroy everything that you see as weak. You killed many digimon and you did it for what? Just for your own sick game or amusement, because you wanted those Digital Cores. Well now, its time to pay for the crimes that you have committed! Your going down, Burizalor, and War Greymon intends on doing that!"
"Oh is he really? Well that's a lot of talk from another little punk and a delusional digimon. Do you both actually believe that you can defeat me? And they say that there will be the fused warrior legends say that will come and overpower me. I'm willing to bet that War Greymon may be the one."
"Look who cares about that stupid legend? It doesn't matter if that legend happens to be true! Because War Greymon is going to take you down!"
"I'm ready whenever you are Tai."
"Oh. Well War Greymon, lets just see what your really made. I've been looking forward to this for a long, long time."
"Bring it on!"
The two super powers stood face to face. They were ready to attack each other. Tai watched on while holding onto his crest. Suddenly, War Greymon turned towards Tai and pointed out to the other Digi-Destined. Tai took notice of this.
"Hey guys! You need to clear the area now! I think the fight is fixing to start!"
"But what about you, Tai?" asked Sora, "Your going to be in the line of fire."
"We can't just leave you," TK said.
"No. We shall respect his demands. Now lets clear this area," Leomon said.
The Digi-Destined agreed as they headed off to another section of the battlefield, where they would remain safe for the time being. Lillymon carried Gabumon on over there. Magna Angemon, Angewomon, Garudamon and Leomon were there to protect them.
"It's going to start anytime now," Kari said, "C'mon War Greymon. You're our only chance. You can do it, big brother."
[Prodigy "Breathe" plays during the battle sequence]
Burizalor and War Greymon made their first moves amongst one another. As they collided, a flash of light sparked among their collision. Then they started to hammer away at one another. Each of them maneuvered away from each of their punches and kicks being thrown. Burizalor attempted to whip War Greymon with his tail but War Greymon maneuvered out of the way and phased out. He threw a punch at Burizalor but Burizalor twisted to the side and punched War Greymon.
Burizalor phased around and blasted several beams. War Greymon deflected each of them with his claws and attempted to throw several beams of his own. Burizalor maneuvered away from each of the beams being thrown at him. War Greymon jumped back and saw a beam coming right at him. War Greymon flew up and watched as the beam blasted away a chunk of mountain. War Greymon gasped when he saw nothing but a pile of rocks after the blast.
War Greymon turned to see Burizalor jump him from behind and nail him in the back with his tail. Burizalor flies down and throws in a punch. War Greymon maneuvers away and lands back down on the ground.
"Catch this!"
Burizalor forms a ball of energy and tosses it at War Greymon. But War Greymon was able to pull out his Brave Shield and block it away. This got Burizalor irritated as he landed back down.
"Wow. I must say, you're a lot faster than I predicted."
"Yeah, well so are you."
"War Greymon, now I see why my greatest minions were defeated at the hands of you. I knew that it wasn't a fluke all along. Now I understand what your truly capable of. What an honor to actually fighting the warrior of courage."
"I doubt that."
"I see that you don't like compliments that much, I'm so sorry. How can I make it up to you?"
"We can continue on fighting."
"Suite yourself."
War Greymon and Burizalor collided with one another again. They threw in as many punches and kicks as they can. They each maneuvered away from each other's punches and kicks. War Greymon has seemingly gotten a lot faster since the last fight with Piedmon and the Demon Corps. Burizalor isn't taking War Greymon lightly so that he won't make the same mistake as his men did.
War Greymon attempts to slash at Burizalor with his claws. Burizalor scathes his blades as they collide with one another. The two clash with their respective weapons of choice. Blades were swinging with both of them getting the better of one another. As War Greymon attempted to slash at his adversary, Burizalor phased out and attempted to stab War Greymon from behind. But the mega level digimon was able to maneuver away. War Greymon twists around and goes for a spinning kick. Burizalor ducks under and goes to whip him with his tail, but War Greymon flips over and lands on his feet.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing," TK said, "They move so fast."
"I can't even see them. They're like flashes of light colliding with one another," replied Sora.
"They have reached new levels of power that even we are unable to reach at this very moment," Leomon explained, "I was pretty sure that I would achieve that same kind of ability but it didn't come into being. However, War Greymon was able to and he's pretty much evened up with Burizalor at this moment."
"So you think War Greymon will win," asked Kari. "I don't know."
War Greymon tosses another beam but Burizalor slaps him away. War Greymon charges at Burizalor and throws in punches. Burizalor maneuvers away several times and flips backwards. War Greymon flies at Burizalor and goes for a tornado spin attack but Burizalor phased out. War Greymon looks around his surroundings and feels a powerful energy from above. He looks up and sees Burizalor shooting down a beam.
"Take this, War Greymon!"
War Greymon flies up as Burizalor continues shooting out ki blasts at his adversary. Burizalor kept firing blasts and shattered the ground into pieces. As a result of this, a large explosion occurs which causes a large cloud of smoke to form. War Greymon watched the smoke come around him and he couldn't see Burizalor within the cloud. Burizalor kept firing away to try to nail War Greymon. Suddenly, Tai took notice of this.
"Hey! Whoa! Burizalor can't even see where War Greymon. This might be a good sign, if he can't see War Greymon through that cloud of smoke. Hmmm, I wonder."
Just as War Greymon was about to make his next move, Burizalor appears out of the cloud of smoke and phases behind War Greymon. War Greymon turns to see Burizalor firing ki blasts. War Greymon flew backwards to avoid the blasts. Burizalor kept firing right on target but was unable to hit his adversary. As the moments pass, Burizalor was left standing on a cloud of smoke. He looked about for War Greymon. He felt a tremendous power phase right behind him. War Greymon was standing right behind Burizalor. As the smoke cleared, they were both on top of a tall, thin structure that was destroyed as a result of several blasts.
"My goddramon. Where did this guy come from? I never meet such a powerful warrior. All of the digimon that I fought had already died. Even the best of them were just child's play. But this guy is great. He's fantastic."
Suddenly, the thin structure started to crumble into pieces. Burizalor and War Greymon hovered down. War Greymon attempted to throw a punch in but Burizalor phased out. War Greymon flew through the smoke and landed onto the ground.
War Greymon began to sense his surroundings and there was no sign of Burizalor. No signal from any energy. But War Greymon kept on the look out for anything suspicious.
The other Digi-Destined had taken notice of War Greymon's increased power level. Sora, TK and Kari were the most surprised.
["Breathe" ends]
"Wow! I really can't believe how much War Greymon has improved!" Kari said, "His speed is uncanny."
"I have to agree with you, Kari," replied TK, "And Metal Garurumon was unable to lay a hand on Burizalor. War Greymon is giving it to him."
"Tai seemingly knows what he's doing. His Crest of Courage is giving War Greymon this power. That training that Gennai must have given to him helped a lot. I really wish I could put Garudamon through that same kind of training. I would like to see how skilled she would really become."
"Well. It's very obvious that War Greymon was the chosen one that Gennai had chosen. He is the one to challenge Burizalor's evil power," Leomon explained.
"Wow! War Greymon is really something. Even our digimon weren't able to lay one single finger on that creep," Mimi said, "C'mon Tai. Make Burizalor pay for what he did to Joe and Izzy. He's going to pay for killing Matt."
"Mimi! Izzy is starting to come around!" Tentomon exclaimed, "Come quick!"
They gathered around Izzy as he started to stir. They smiled with delight. Tentomon went to revive Izzy. The young boy slowly opened his eyes and looked up.
"Mimi. What happened?" Izzy weakly asked.
"Shh, it's cool. War Greymon returned. He and Tai are going to take care of business."
"Huh? Tai?"
"Yes." "But, what about Matt?"
Mimi looked down shamefully and Izzy could tell the expression on her face as if it were a book. He sighed and nodded.
"Izzy! Take a look at this!" Tentomon said, "The fight between War Greymon and Burizalor is about to ensue! But, I can't seem to pick up any power readings from Burizalor."
"Huh? Tai. Prodigious. His power must have really gone up since the last battle."
"You're telling me!"
[Dragonball Z "Fight Music" plays during the next battle sequence]
War Greymon looked around his surroundings once again and took a power level reading. There's nothing yet. Suddenly, he felt a power level appear right behind him. He turned to see Burizalor shooting down ki blasts at him. War Greymon maneuvered away as fast as he could. Burizalor kept firing blasts to keep his adversary at bay. Burizalor flew at War Greymon and goes for a punch. War Greymon ducks under and goes to kick him in the midsection but Burizalor phased out.
War Greymon looked about and sees Burizalor appear on top of a cliff. He shoots down a powerful ball of energy and sends it hurling towards War Greymon. The mighty mega watches it come right at him and attempts to push it back. The power of the energy ball was too much for War Greymon to handle as it was pushing him down to the ground. Burizalor stood there watching his power ball go to work. War Greymon used every last ounce of strength that he had left to push the energy ball back. And within a split second, he was able to push the ball back and sends it up into the air.
Tai watched on as he sighed a relief.
"Way to do it, War Greymon! Don't turn away from him. Just keep an eye on his movements."
"Where did he go? He's suppressed his power level again! I can't seem to sense his movements."
Burizalor appears above War Greymon as he hovers. He points down to War Greymon shoots several finger blasts at him. War Greymon flips out of the way. Burizalor fires more beams into the ground as War Greymon flies up to slash at him. Burizalor phases out. War Greymon turns around and sees Burizalor about to lash out his tail. War Greymon manuevered away from the tail whip and flips backward. Burizalor lashes out his tail some more but was unable to hit his adversary. Burizalor phases out and appears behind War Greymon. Burizalor goes for a punch but War Greymon blocks it out. Burizalor lashes out his tail and whips War Greymon in the back.
"Don't give up, War Greymon! You can take so much more than that!"
War Greymon goes to punch Burizalor in the face but misses. Burizalor appears behind War Greymon and smiles. Burizalor looks down and sees a hole that was created from the blasts a little while ago.
"This is your final resting spot. I hope you enjoy it. This is the end for you!"
Burizalor whips War Greymon in the back with his tail. War Greymon goes crashing down into the ground and into the hole. Tai watched on in utter horror. The others couldn't believe at what they saw. War Greymon had just been pushed down into the hole.
"War Greymon!" Kari cried out, "It can't be over! He can't be gone!"
"I know," TK said, "He isn't done yet. I can promise you that. I have hope in War Greymon. We all should."
Leomon ran onto the battlefield and looked up at Burizalor. Anger overcame the brave lion warrior.
"Hey! What did you do to War Greymon, demon?" growled Leomon, "Tell me now!"
"Oh he's taking a little breather and should be slowly dying in his lava death bed. You can join him if you want to. I think you two would make the perfect candidates to die. Don't you agree? Because your going to die anyways, whether you choose to fight me or not."
As he said that, his eyes gave a red glow. Leomon was disgusted at the actions of the evil tyrant.
Tai held onto his crest and almost cried with grief, but he felt a sudden surge of energy erupt from his crest. The crest started to respond and Tai knew what that meant. If the crest was still able to glow, then War Greymon is in good condition.
["Fight Music" ends]
"War Greymon! I can sense you power! I can feel it from the crest!"
"What? Impossible!"
"That's right, Burizalor. This fight isn't over from a long shot."
"Grr. What now?"
With that being said, War Greymon flies out of the hole and fades. Burizalor is ready to attack. Burizalor looks up and sees War Greymon deck him in the face with a powerful thrust kick. Burizalor goes crashing into the ground but he was able to keep his balance and land on his feet. War Greymon hovered down.
"Not a bad little possum trick, War Greymon. I must give you credit for that."
"Well, your not that bad yourself, Burizalor. I knew this fight wouldn't end that easily."
"Yes. Well don't give yourself all of the credit. Because this has just begun."
Burizalor shoots out more beams from his fingers and fires them at War Greymon. War Greymon sees them coming and maneuvers away from the blasts. Burizalor phases in front of War Greymon and throws in punches. War Greymon twists to each side to avoid the punches. Burizalor goes to whip War Greymon with his tail. War Greymon barely maneuvers away but is met with a punch to the face. War Greymon goes flying back as Burizalor phases behind him. Burizalor fires several beams from his eyes and sends them right at War Greymon. War Greymon uses his claws to block them out and watches them destroy parts of the ground.
War Greymon flips over and lands on his feet. He turns to see Burizalor standing on top of a cliff.
"Hey what's your deal, Burizalor?!" Tai asked angrily while holding his crest.
"Well, what do you think? I am trying to kill you."
"Then leave the landscape of the Digital World alone! Let the land out of our fight! You got it?"
"Alright whatever you say. Whatever you wish."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
"You know. I never met such a sentimental human before. Believe me, its going to be your downfall."
"Oh yeah. You think so? Well see about that, Burizalor. I don't think being sentimental is considered a weakness."
"We shall see now, won't we?"
"Oh yeah."
**************************************************************************************
Back on Earth, the parents of the Digi-Destined have been waiting for their children to arrive at any given opportunity. They knew that this would not be a battle that would end in just over a day. This would be a long, hard-fought battle.
The Kamiya parents looked on into the skies that reflected the whole Digital World. They had seen many blasts being fired but they had no idea that a huge battle was taking place that would help determine the fate of the two worlds.
"I just hope our kids are okay," said Mrs. Kamiya, "They've been gone for a long while."
"Well whatever they are doing, they are there to help the other world and at the same time protect us from any danger."
"I know. But they're just too young to do this sort of thing."
"They're no longer little children that we have to look over. They have grown up and as parents. We must appreciate, for what they are doing. I know for a fact that the digimon will protect them. Think of them as guardian angels."
"Yes. I just hope they will come home soon."
"They will. I promise you that."
With that being said, the Kamiyas held each other's hands as a way to stay strong while their children are in the Digital World battling an evil tyrant hell bent on destroying one world and invading another world.
Mrs. Takishi watched on helplessly. She hoped that her two boys are in the Digital World. She visibly was showing sadness and thought she would never see her two boys again. But she turned to see her ex. Mr. Ishida was confident that his two boys would return. However, they were unaware of the fact that Matt was murdered.
"I can't believe I let them go. TK and Matt. I sure hope they return safely," she said softly as she cried with tears coming down her eyes.
"Don't cry for our boys. They will be fine. I know for a fact that their digimon are keeping an eye closely on our children."
"But what if they don't..."
"Don't think that way. I know Matt better than that. He always keeps an on TK. We have to stay strong. No matter what the outcome is."
The former couple held onto his each other's as a way to show unity for their children to return safely from the Digital World. However, they had no idea of the threat that may come into their world in the form of Burizalor. But TK and Matt will not allow that. They must protect their parents and their own world from such destruction.
The Izumis were thinking of the same thing. It was just only a temporary moment since they encountered digimon. But they were even surprised that Izzy had kept a digimon of his own, Tentomon. Luckily, Tentomon was there to protect them from such threats such as Myotismon's army. They knew that Tentomon would take care of their little boy.
"We have to remain strong for Izzy," said Mrs. Izumi, "Tentomon will be there for him. No matter what happens, we will love him and I'm proud to call him my son."
"He's strong just like his mother. We must put faith into him."
The Izumis also held each other as a show of unity for Izzy's actions and the day that he and Tentomon would return.
"Our Mimi has grown up," said Mr. Tachikawa.
"Yes and its time we trust in her. She's old enough to look after herself with Palmon at her side," responded , "I've never felt so confident in our daughter's abilities but now it is time."
Now the Tachikawa family displayed a show of unity by holding each other's hands. Mimi had made them proud and they would return the favor for their daughter.
Joe's brother, Jim, had first doubted his little brother's abilities but now can trust in him. Before Joe left into the Digital World, he would be considered scared of almost everything and would be a wuss. However, with Gomamon at his side, Joe was able to develop himself into a more reliable and helpful individual.
Mrs. Takenouchi is very proud of her daughter, Sora, and the way she was able to take care of herself. She was happy to know that Sora loves her so much and that Biyomon is there to protect her. She looked up and prayed for her daughter to return back from the huge battle that would determine the fate of two worlds
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the Digital World, the children watched on as the battle between War Greymon and Burizalor was taking place. Sora, TK and Kari watched the battle unfold. They were there to support Tai. Mimi was there to help Izzy and Joe with their injuries.
War Greymon stood on a cliff and watched Burizalor hover up. Something was coming up in Burizalor's mind as he looked down at War Greymon. A smile came across his face. The maniac was about to speak.
"You know. I was just thinking and something had occurred to me."
"Hmm?"
"I understand how the Demon Corps had fallen. Yes, I knew that you couldn't have defeated them all on your own. You had help, didn't you?"
"So what if I did? All that matters is whats taking place now, you and me."
"Yes. Puppetmon is gone. Marine Devi is gone. Skull Satan is gone. Metal Tyrannus is gone. Now Piedmon is gone. Piedmon is considered the second strongest after me. You killed him, didn't you?"
"Nope. I didn't kill him, just sent him packing into another world. I'm sure he's in a much happier place than this. Heh." "
"Is that right?"
[Final Fantasy VII "Battle Theme" plays during battle sequence]
Burizalor opened his eyes and let out a screech. A large wave of force came across the landscape and a beam came towards War Greymon. He maneuvered away as the beam blasted away the large chunk of land. War Greymon flew up and looked down. Burizalor phases behind him and misses a tail lash. War Greymon quickly phases behind Burizalor.
"Hey over here! You miss me?"
War Greymon sends a force of wind at Burizalor, sending the evil tyrant flying into the ground. Burizalor was able to hold himself and land on his feet. War Greymon hovered down and went for a thrust kick. War Greymon turned to find his adversary but couldn't find anybody. Suddenly, he heard a few sprinkle noises in the lake. He turned and didn't see anything. But then, Burizalor phases onto a mountain ledge and looks down at his adversary.
"Why don't you come down here and fight me like a 'mon?" War Greymon growled, "Or are you too afraid to fight me face to face."
"Oh please. If you were to duel me in a one on one confrontation, I would easily crush you. Do not doubt my ability."
Burizalor looks over to Tai as a smile crept over his face.
"I know that Taichi is giving you this power from his Crest of Courage. It's very obvious."
"Yeah. Well, why aren't you targeting the crests now?"
"Oh I have reasons. But the main reason is for me to get a decent challenge from you, War Greymon. I want to see you're in depth power before I destroy you. Then maybe I'll destroy the crests on my own time. I don't like to rush things when it comes to battle."
"Oh, so you want to just duke it out until somebody gives?"
"Yes and you will soon be giving."
"No way. Not me."
"You sure have a lot of confidence. You better not become too overconfident with your abilities. With the snap of my fingers, I can easily end this fight."
"Oh?"
"Yes. So don't question my ability. For soon, you shall see."
The others were watching on but they couldn't make out to what they were saying.
"What are they talking about," TK asked.
"They are questioning each other's abilities," Leomon answered, "War Greymon's power boost seems to be giving Burizalor a challenge that he has been looking for."
"And he just mentioned crests. What does Burizalor know about our crests?" asked Kari.
"I think that's pretty obvious. He wants the crests destroyed," Sora answered, "Just like any bad guy would."
"This will sure get ugly any moment now," said Angewomon.
"I agree and they sure won't be giving out just yet," replied Magna Angemon.
Burizalor phased out as he fired ki blasts at War Greymon. The mighty mega was able to maneuver away and counterattack the kiblasts. Burizalor continued firing blasts until War Greymon dove right into the lake in order to avoid the blasts.
"Alright! Just stay under there, War Greymon. You'll find a way to counterattack. I hope."
War Greymon stopped himself so that Burizalor wouldn't sense his movements. He took a while and was thinking of a good way to counterattack his adversary without being seen.
["Battle Theme" ends]
"Hmmm. Lets see here. Wait a minute! I remember when Burizalor was blasting away at me and there was a large cloud of smoke. Yeah, he wasn't able to see me. He could sense my presence but he couldn't see me. That should at least give me an advantage that I need. Now what's a way to distract him momentarily? Yes! This should work but here it goes."
War Greymon starts to power up and forms an orange energy ball in his hands. But instead of releasing it, it held it still. Then he forms another orange ball of energy and kept it still instead of releasing it. He held them right where they were.
Burizalor looked down at the waters and noticed it bubbling. He felt a tremendous energy from the bubbling waters and pointed his hand out.
"Ha! You can hide, but I know better. You better come out of hiding."
War Greymon pulls up one hand and releases the one ball of energy. It goes hurtling up into the air and straight at Burizalor.
"Now I got you!"
Just as Burizalor was about to fire a blast, the ball of energy goes flying at him. Burizalor manuevers away and looks down at the water.
"Ugh! Clever trick!"
War Greymon pulls up the other hand and releases another ball of energy. The energy ball goes flying up to where Burizalor is awaiting.
"Ha! Now I got you this time-"
But he was soon cut off as the ball of energy goes flying at him. Burizalor maneuvers away. He then turns to see War Greymon phase behind him and gets drilled in the face by kick to the face. Burizalor goes flying back and crashing into the ground. War Greymon looks down at the damage he caused. Burizalor had crashed through a small mountain ledge.
"Yeah! Right on, War Greymon," Tai commented on his digimon's attack.
He knew that he was gaining an upper hand at the moment.
War Greymon looked down and watched as the rock rubble started to rise up and explode into little pieces. Burizalor rose out of the ground and looked up at War Greymon. A smile came across the evil tyrant's face.
"Heh. What a fool. He actually thinks he has me down at the moment. Well he is dead wrong."
"Wow. We sure made him mad, War Greymon. Maybe we should go easy on him."
"He actually hit me. I have never felt this much pain in my life. Its a rare sensation indeed."
War Greymon watches as Burizalor hovers up. War Greymon gets ready for anything. Burizalor points over to a bunch of rocks and raises his hand up. The small rocks started to levitate and circle him. War Greymon watched on and got his claws ready. Burizalor sends out the rocks towards War Greymon. War Greymon saw them coming and started blasting them away with ki blasts. Some were coming right at him but War Greymon was able to shatter them with his claws.
"Nice trick, Burizalor. But it's going to take more than just that to put me down."
"Oh don't worry. I have something that is in store for you my friend."
The Digi-Destined watched on as Burizalor pointed to the ground and held his hands up. The ground started to shake and something was slowly rising out of the ground. Tai and the others gasped to what they would see. A large boulder came rising out of the ground. Burizalor used his power to hold up a boulder-sized rock.
"No way!" TK said, "How is he able to do that?"
"Insane. I wasn't even expecting this," Kari cried out.
"How can he do that?" Sora asked.
"He has telekinetic powers. Just like Puppetmon used against our digimon. Burizalor is able to lift objects without using his own hands," replied Leomon, "That's one of his most powerful abilities. He is able to lift objects that is even larger than himself."
"Insane."
Burizalor held the large boulder in place and waved his arms forward. He sends the large boulder straight towards War Greymon.
"Whoa damn! War Greymon! Look out!"
War Greymon watched as the boulder was coming straight at him. He put his hands out as a way to push it back. But its force pushed War Greymon back. War Greymon tried with all of his might in attempt to push back.
Tai watched in utter horror as the boulder came pushing War Greymon into a nearby canyon.
"War Greymon!"
Within seconds, the boulder crashing into the canyon and it looked as if War Greymon was sandwiched in between the boulder and the canyon. Burizalor looked down with a smile on his face. Suddenly, something started to push the boulder back and sliced through it like an onion.
"Alright, War Greymon! You're still in the game! Just hang it in there, buddy!"
Relief came from the other Digi-Destined.
"Way to go, War Greymon!" Kari said, "Now keep an eye on him."
"He can beat him," TK said.
War Greymon shook the cobwebs out and flew up. He looked around for Burizalor but there was no sign of him. War Greymon phased down towards onto another canyon ledge and began looking for his adversary. But within a split second, Burizalor phased right behind him and held out his hand.
"Here I am!"
"Aw no way!"
[Final Fantasy VII Bizarro Sephiroth "Birth of a God" theme plays]
Burizalor shoots out a beam at War Greymon. And that beam creates a barrier and traps War Greymon inside a ball of energy.
"No way! War Greymon! What did he do to you?!"
Burizalor hovered above the ball he created that contained War Greymon in it. He held it tightly and was about to speak.
"Well, looks like the tables have turned on you again, my friend. You have nowhere to go. I have used one of my most useful techniques where I trap my opponents inside balls of energy. You can't break through this barrier, even with your chrome digizoid claws. I suggest you beg for mercy because this ball will explode when it touches anything besides me. So any last requests before your end?"
"You fiend! You won't get away with this! I swear to it!"
"Too late. I already did."
Burizalor whips the ball containing War Greymon like a tennis ball using his long segmented tail as a racket. The ball goes flying towards a mountain. But as soon as it was about to hit the mountain, a figure quickly phases in front of it and catches it with ease. It was Burizalor and he looked ready to bounce it away.
"You see. You're lucky that I'm so fast. I would of let the ball hit this mountain and explode taking your life at the same time. But I decided to go easy on you. I'm not done with you just yet."
Burizalor shoots out two ki blasts and sends the ball bouncing straight towards another mountain. Burizalor phases in front of it to catch it and kick it away like a soccer ball. Burizalor kicks it away again and sends it towards another mountain. Burizalor phases and kicks the ball away again. In a matter of moments, Burizalor begins to play soccer with the energy ball contained War Greymon.
Tai watched on and couldn't believe that Burizalor was playing his favorite game and using it to his advantage in attempt to destroying War Greymon.
"No! Stop this, Burizalor!"
"As you wish!"
Burizalor slaps the energy ball away and flies right after it. War Greymon tries to break through with the use of his claws but it had no effect. Burizalor phases in front of the ball and slaps it away with his tail.
The Digi-Destined could only watch on helplessly and they couldn't save War Greymon since the energy ball will explode if it touches anything but Burizalor himself.
"No! Don't do it! War Greymon!"
Burizalor shoots out a beam from his finger and sends it towards the energy ball contained War Greymon. As the beam hits the energy ball, everything seems to move in slow motion and a huge explosion takes place.
Everything seems to go blank after the large explosion. It seemed as though the energy ball was completely destroyed, and with it went War Greymon, or so it seemed.
As the light clears away, the landscape is completely buried in a dust of smoke and fallen debris from the mountain surroundings. There doesn't seem any kind of life within the area.
["Birth of a God" ends]
Just then, several hands started popping out of the ground. TK, Kari, Sora and the others started to surface and catch their breath. Leomon pops out along with them. They all shake the cobwebs out and looked around their surroundings.
"Whoa! That was a doozy," TK said, "Kari, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, but where's Tai?"
"Tai!" Sora cried out, "Tai! Where are you?"
Suddenly, more hands started popping out of the debris. This time it was Patamon, Gatomon, Biyomon and the other digimon back to their rookie forms.
"Aw! I'm back to being Patamon again," the little digimon said.
Gatomon nodded and replied, "We ran out of energy. So that is why we returned back to being rookies."
"So where are Tai and War Greymon?" Biyomon asked.
"Oh man! Look at that!" Palmon cried out.
Burizalor was levitating in the air and didn't look like he was going to give in just yet. It looked as though he was just warming up.
"Man! It looks like Burizalor isn't giving up yet!" Sora said, "He seems calm. What's the deal?"
"I know. So what's up?" Mimi asked.
"Burizalor wasn't kidding. When he said that he could destroy the Digital World within a heartbeat, no sweat it. He could of done that," Leomon replied.
"Wow. Prodigious. What kind of a creature is he?" Izzy asked as he was catching his breath.
"Is my brother gone?" Kari asked with fear of her brother's condition.
"Nah, long from it. He and War Greymon are fine. They were just warming up as well."
"Huh?!"
Kari looked up to see War Greymon hovering and facing off against Burizalor. He seemed unscathed from the last attack. A sigh of relief came over the Digi-Destined as they were glad to see that War Greymon was ok. They also looked up to see Tai standing on a cliff ledge. They even sighed a greater relief to see the leader survive the large explosion.
"Alright Tai! Way to hang it in there!" Sora cried out.
"Go big brother," Kari cheered on.
"Whew, that was just too close!" Tai sighed a relief, "Alright, War Greymon. We're still in the game. We can't under estimate this guy. Big mistake on our part."
"So my attacks weren't enough for you, my friend. That's fine. I have a lot more tricks up my sleeve. After all, this was just our little warm up."
"You can count on the fact that I was warming up as well too."
"Well, I have a proposition for you, War Greymon."
"What's that?"
"Lets end all of this warm up nonsense and cut to the crap. I'm looking forward to using my full power against you. What do you say?"
"Hmm. You got it! Sounds good. Alright, time to get down to business!"
Well, very interesting! These two have just been toying around with each other! Now the two of the most powerful beings in the Digital World now will play it the hard way and get down to business! How brutal will this one on one confrontation get? Will War Greymon beat Burizalor or will the evil tyrant shut out War Greymon for good?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Burizalor Declares a New Strategy! He Summons Fifty-Percent of Power!
The Digi-Destined watched as the two of the most powerful forces in the Digital World hovered above them. Just by looking at them, it was an awesome presence. The power from War Greymon and Burizalor was off the chart.
War Greymon stared down the evil tyrant and was ready to attack at any moment. Burizalor returned a glare towards War Greymon, he was ready to attack at any given opportunity.
"Wow! Looks like we're in the eye of the hurricane now, Kari," TK said, "Its all come down to this. War Greymon and Burizalor."
"I know. The final battle."
"Get this. It is this very battle that will determine the fate of the two worlds. On one condition, if War Greymon wins, this world will be rid of leeches like Burizalor. But if Burizalor is to come out victorious, then both worlds will be under Burizalor's evil rule."
"Tai. You and War Greymon are our only hopes. You can't let us down," Sora said, "You can't let Burizalor win."
"This is going to get ugly!" Mimi said, "I suppose that this fight will determine what our future will be like."
"You bet and War Greymon is our ticket out of here," Izzy managed to speak out, "All of our faith and hopes lies in the hands of War Greymon now."
Burizalor and War Greymon continue their historical staredown. Both of their power levels were almost equal in strength. Not even the other digimon can tell who is more powerful. But it is pretty obvious that Burizalor may have more aces up his sleeve.
"Hmmm. I know for a fact that Burizalor would hide his real power. Bad guys have a tendency to hide their overall power. We've been there and done that," Tai said as he was watching the two super powers stare each other down.
"What do you say? Let's get this over with. I have other important things than just stand around and look at you all day. I got places to go and people to see," War Greymon said impatiently.
"You're quite a smart ass punk aren't you? So you want to get this over and done with? That's fine with me. I rather decapitate you than stare at your ugly mug."
"You pick out the battle grounds that we will be battling on."
"As you wish."
Burizalor looked down at the ground below him and a smile came over his face. He points to a small island just directly across the canyon grounds that the Digi-Destined are watching from. War Greymon looks down. Burizalor goes to fly down towards the island. War Greymon goes to follow him.
"Good. Now the others won't get in the way during the fight," Tai said.
"What are they doing?" asked TK.
"They're choosing a battleground. It's just off that island. I guess that way, they can fight without any interference from any of us," Leomon said.
"There's no telling how much damage they may do to each other as well as their surroundings," Sora said, "This will get really intense."
Burizalor and War Greymon both landed on the island they were now prepared to fight on. Burizalor took a moment to get his act together and turn his attention to War Greymon. War Greymon did the samething but he didn't take his eye off of Burizalor.
"As to let you know that nobody has ever attempted to fight me in my final form. It's a privilege and an honor for you to challenge me in this condition. Your friend, Yamato, unfortunately was very unlucky. His digimon disappointed me. Maybe you will give me the challenge that I so desperately have been searching this whole time."
"Well, it's a real honor. I never fought anybody like you before. All of my past opponents have been weak nobodies. But I have read your power level. And let me be the first to say this, it really and truly is an honor."
"That is why I have an idea for us to begin our ultimate battle."
"What's that?"
"Since I know between the two of us, I am by far the strongest one. Since I have no equal in the Digital World. So I'll tell you what. To make our fight a little bit fair, I've needed to lower my power down and I will not use be using my hands."
"So are you letting your self-conceit go to your head? How do you expect to beat me with using you're hands. That's just not possible. Not even from the likes of you."
"Oh so you becoming a nonbeliever? Well, shall I prove it to you? This will teach you not to under estimate your opponent, War Greymon."
Burizalor held out both of his hands and placed them behind his back. War Greymon got into a fighting and looked ready to fight and take out the evil tyrant. But for some reason, Burizalor doesn't seem to be worried one bit about War Greymon.
"Is he crazy and trying to psych War Greymon out? Or is he truly that powerful," Tai asked himself that. He couldn't believe at what he just heard from Burizalor. How could one creature not use his hands against the likes and caliber of War Greymon. It just didn't make any sense whatsoever. "Don't let you're guard down, buddy."
"What did he just say," Patamon asked, "Tai seems to be a little worried."
"Burizalor just said that he wasn't going to be using his hands when he fights War Greymon," Gatomon said.
"What is he crazy? He's signing his own death warrant if you ask me," Biyomon said.
"No. War Greymon better not under estimate this guy," Gatomon replied, "Even if he ties his own hands behind his back and goes handicap, he's still strong enough to kill the mightiest of all digimon. So his power is still the same as it was before. If I were War Greymon, I would exploit Burizalor's weaknesses and use them to his advantage. That way, War Greymon is able to claim victory."
"But that's not going to be easy," Patamon said, "He's going to have to catch Burizalor first. War Greymon practically has his work cut out for him."
"I didn't say it would be easy. But then again, when is fighting you're enemy easy?"
War Greymon took a step back and got his claws ready. Burizalor was ready to make his next move. War Greymon flies at Burizalor and was ready to attack. He threw in the first punch.
*************************************************************************************
As the battle was about to ensue, the other Digi-Destined watched on. TK and Kari held each other's hands as a way to show unity and to remain together. Patamon and Gatomon looked up to see their partners getting close together. Smiles came across their faces and they held each other's hands.
Sora, Leomon and Biyomon didn't keep their eyes off of the battlefield. Sora had her attentions to not only the battle but to Tai. She wanted to tell him something before the fight with Burizalor. But she wouldn't tell anyone but Tai, but now wasn't the good opportunity to tell him. She put faith into Tai, which was the one thing he needed to help guide War Greymon in this battle.
But the one thing that had everybody puzzled was the shining bright light that surrounded Kari. Nobody knew where it came from, nor did anyone know its purpose. Not even Kari was sure what to make of it. But, this wasn't the first time that this light emulated from Kari. Even more bizarre was when Kari's voice became that of a woman's. Kari seemed to be possessed. Maybe this force was a messenger from the four Holy Beasts.
Whatever this force was, it was really lending the Digi-Destined a hand. It allowed Angewomon to pummel the evil Burizalor, when he was at his second form. TK seemed to realize this power that came from Kari. But for some reason, none of the other Digi-Destined couldn't make out what the light really represented.
Flashback...
Kari was looking towards a lake with Gatomon at her side. Izzy and Tentomon were already asleep. The night skies were so beautiful as it gave off a crescent moonlight into the lake. The moon was shown as a reflection. Kari looked up and smiled.
"Isn't it just lovely, Gatomon?"
"Yeah it is."
"It's never this beautiful in our world."
"Then again. The Digital World is a different kind of place."
"Gatomon?"
"Yeah, Kari?"
"You've seen a full moon?"
"All the time."
"Really?"
"Yeah. The moon is always full in the Digital World. Its half one minute and then its full the next."
"Wow, that's weird."
"Time goes by really quick here. Five minutes here is like five hours in your world."
"That's amazing."
"Well somewhere around that point."
Kari kneeled down and threw a couple of pebbles into the waters. Gatomon lay next to her to have nice catnap. Kari then noticed a strange light just across the small lake.
"Gatomon, wake up. You have to take a look at this."
"What is it?"
"It's some kind of strange light."
"Huh?"
Kari pointed out to the light. Gatomon gasped and looked to Kari.
"What do you think it could be?"
"I don't know but lets go check it out, Gatomon."
"Shouldn't we wake up Izzy first?"
"No, lets go check it out. We'll use that boat that's shaped like a swan." "Alright."
Kari and Gatomon hopped onto the boat shaped like a swan. They started peddling towards the other side of the island. Suddenly, the light started to fade away slowly.
"Hey! It's disappearing."
"I say we go back, Kari. It's giving me the creeps."
"But I want to make sure that its still there."
"Kari you have really flipped."
They continued to peddle towards where the light was emulating. For some reason, it was shining a bright white light. Kari looked down at her crest and it began to glow a pink color. For some reason, it was getting attracted to this mysterious light.
"Hurry, before it goes away."
"I rather want it to go away."
Kari ran into the forest and was running as fast as she can to reach the light. As soon as she made it to reach the light, it was glowing a rather holy glow. Kari looked up to it.
"Wow. It sure is beautiful."
"Where did it come from?"
"I don't know, but for some reason, my crest's power is getting attracted to it."
"Weird. Huh? Hey Kari, what do you think you're doing?"
"What? I'm just going to touch it."
"I wouldn't do it. No telling what harm it may do to you."
"Nothing is going to happen to me."
"I have a bad feeling about that light."
Kari reached out for the light and felt its warm glow. Just then, she felt the warmth of the light enter her body. She pushed backwards and the light started to flow into her entire body. Gatomon attempted to pull her away but the light stopped her in place. Kari held up her crest and it started to absorb the mysterious light.
"Kari!"
Suddenly, Kari levitated down and fell to the ground. Gatomon ran up to her and attempted to revive her.
"Kari! Please wake up! Kari!"
"Gatomon..."
"Kari!"
Kari opened her eyes and a bright glow emulated over her body. She looked towards Gatomon and rose to her feet. Now Kari was shining that same mysterious glow. Gatomon felt a very strong power coming from it.
"Gatomon..."
Kari's voice had become that of a woman's. Gatomon was shocked to hear her voice and knew that Kari was being possessed by another force.
"Alright. What are you doing to Kari! I'm her digi-partner! You get out of her body this instant!"
"Gatomon. It is ok. I have come to aid you and the Digi-Destined."
"Huh?"
"If you just let me explain, then you'll understand."
"I'm listening."
"I am here to help the Digi-Destined in their battle against the evil Burizalor. I was sent by the four Holy Beasts, who were all sealed away by the fiend."
"You are?"
"Yes. My duty is to guide my light and preserve everything that was destroyed by Burizalor."
"But why take Kari's body?"
"I need Kari's body in order to suppress my power. I can't help if I was to remain my true form, so I needed a host to keep my light preserved."
"I see."
"Now we must stop Burizalor at all costs and restore the Digital World. With my powers, I can be able to revive the Digital Cores and preserve their power."
"And what about the four Holy Beasts?"
"They will be released from Limbo once we activate the four cores. Are you with me on this one?"
"You can count me in."
"We don't have much time. Let's move out."
End of Flashback
Kari could look back and no even remember one thing about that incident. However, Gatomon could easily point out and look back to it. But for some reason, she kept that all to herself. Gatomon turned towards her Digi-partner and watched as the glow was starting to appear on Kari.
"Don't even try, Kari. You'll just get killed if you get involved."
War Greymon threw in punches at Burizalor but kept missing. Burizalor was twisting around and maneuver away to avoid War Greymon's punches. Burizalor flew at War Greymon and went for a flying head butt. War Greymon moved out of the way and noticed that Burizalor phased out. Burizalor appears behind War Greymon and slaps him away with his tail.
War Greymon holds his balance and swipes his claws at Burizalor. He misses a punch as Burizalor ducks under and kicks War Greymon in the gut. War Greymon goes falling to his knees. Burizalor picks War Greymon with his tail and tosses him up. War Greymon goes flying up as Burizalor phases above him. Burizalor thrusts a kick into the chest of War Greymon. He goes flying down and crashing into the ground.
Burizalor hovers down and walks over to the fallen War Greymon. War Greymon slowly gets to his feet, but realizes that Burizalor is quickly approaching him. War Greymon flips backwards as Burizalor goes flying at him. Burizalor goes to kick him but War Greymon flips backwards to avoid being kicked.
"So are you impressed with my abilities, War Greymon? I'm faster than you think."
War Greymon jumped up and went to swipe at Burizalor with his claws but Burizalor was able to twist around and phase out. War Greymon turns to find Burizalor kicking away at him. War Greymon manuevers away and flips backwards yet again. Burizalor continues to kick away at War Greymon. This time, this caught War Greymon off guard as he got kicked in the face.
Burizalor got behind War Greymon and kicks him in the face. War Greymon goes staggering back as Burizalor starts kicking him away. War Greymon took each hit and couldn't fight back. He was unable to catch up with his adversary's speed. Burizalor wraps his tail around War Greymon's neck and starts squeezing tightly.
"What's wrong? Am I really hurting you that badly my friend? Oh don't worry it will all be over soon."
War Greymon tried release himself from the tight grip of Burizalor's tail. He was gagging and trying to fight his way out of it. Burizalor tightened on his grip and a smile forms across his face.
"War Greymon! You have to find a way to release yourself and stop the grip," Tai commanded, "Try anything! I beg of you!"
War Greymon continued to fight his way out of Burizalor's tight grip. But Burizalor's tail was really tightening its grip and War Greymon's face was turning blue. A sick smile forms across the face of Burizalor.
"Ha! So you really want you head decapitated. Well you should have just asked! Allow me to do that for you!"
Burizalor continued to tighten his grip on War Greymon and he was succeeding. War Greymon attempted to power out but was choking to death. Tai cried out a last encouragement and then his crest started to glow. The crest's glow gave War Greymon the adrenaline rush that he needed. War Greymon hammers his fists into the gut of Burizalor. Burizalor cried out and held his stomach. War Greymon wrenched back and started to hammer away at Burizalor with punches.
"Alright! Way to knock it into him! Punch his lights out! Yeah!"
War Greymon decks Burizalor right in the face with a right hand jab. Burizalor goes staggering back but then he wrenches back and clenches a fist. He decks War Greymon with a left hand jab, sending the mighty mega crashing through a large rock. Burizalor stood there catching his breath and holding his fist.
"Whoa! Did you see that?" Patamon said, "Burizalor actually used his fists. Looks like he has his work cut for him."
"You bet! War Greymon has begun to exploit his weaknesses," Gatomon replied, "This should get very interesting."
War Greymon slowly got to his feet. He looked over to Burizalor, who was just using his hands to his advantage.
"So, Burizalor. You did have to use your hands after all."
"Huh?"
"You know, that was over confidence on your part. It's going to take more than that to beat me."
"Ok, I'll tell you what. Forget the deal about not using my hands."
"Yeah. I kind of figured that myself."
"Funny. So why don't we rise the stakes even higher. It shall make a better fight that way."
"Sure. I love the sound of that."
"I'm sure the viewing audience wants to see us rip each other apart, we shouldn't disappoint them. Now shall we?"
"This isn't a game. I'm here to win and that's all that matters to me."
"So let us continue."
"Yeah."
"What's going to happen now Leomon?" Sora asked.
"They're taking their fight to a whole new level. I expect Burizalor to increase his fighting power and that will catch War Greymon off guard. He better watch himself."
"Oh no."
Burizalor and War Greymon faced each other. Both were ready to make their next move.
The winds began to blow on the landscape of the Digital World. The battle continued between the two.
Burizalor and War Greymon faced each other. They were ready to make their next move. Burizalor quickly thought of an idea.
"I must say that you're the first real challenge that I ever had to face. I've never seen a fighter quite like you. But before we continue on with our little fight, I want to give you an offer that you couldn't refuse."
"Yeah. I'm listening."
"Join me. You have too much potential. Being on the side of such weak children is holding you down. I sense your power and you could make a very good asset to my army. I recruit only the best talent out there in two worlds. So what do you say?"
"Thanks but no thanks. My heart tells me that I should remain on the side of good. I'm here to protect Tai and his friends. Their safety and survival is crucial for the Digital World."
"And where does that get you? With me, you can live like a god. Nobody can touch you. Your power will reach immortal status by aligning yourself to me. Just think, you could rule this world. But you choose to have a heart and remain a weak nobody by protecting these half-wit children. But that's the choice you made. I can't do anything about that. But that leaves me no choice but to end you."
"Yeah, well I don't think having a heart is such a weakness."
"War Greymon. You are so naive. Now I shall reveal to you, my true hidden power. Yes, it will come back to haunt you as long as you are living."
"Huh?"
"Yes. Surprised? I can keep my maximum power without even exploiting it."
"Yeah, well I got reserves myself."
"Yes. It will be at about five times your maximum power. But I got ten times more than you do. As you can see, I've only used thirty-three percent of my maximum."
"What? Thirty-three percent? No way. Heh. It can't be. You're bluffing. You don't seem to be exploiting that much power during the fight."
"Don't be frightened. You should be flattered. I've never had to summon this much power to defeat my opponent. It's only a matter of time. You never really had a chance against me. It will be fifty percent of my maximum. That's all that is required for this fight."
Burizalor stood still in a form of stance and seems to be relaxing his whole body. Then a bright glow started to emit from him. War Greymon took a fighting stance but decided not to attack just yet. He wanted to pick up War Greymon's power level from his scanners, that way he can tell where he stands as far as winning the battle is concerned. The ground around Burizalor started to break apart slowly as his body started to glow a bright neon color.
"What does he seem to be doing?" TK asked.
"I don't know, but it doesn't look good for War Greymon," Kari replied.
"He's going to unleash fifty percent of his true maximum power," Leomon explained.
The children gasped.
"What amount of his power was he actually exploiting," asked Sora, "I bet it was just around maybe forty five percent of his power."
"No. It was only thirty three and he was still able to take most of us down with ease."
"That's not good at all. If he even reaches fifty percent, we're done for."
Kari looked at her friends and a funny feeling started to overcome her. Suddenly, her body was starting to glow that mysterious glow as before. She started to feel light-headed and TK took notice of this.
"Hey you guys! Kari is glowing that strange light again!"
"Again? What's the deal with this light?" Sora asked as she rushed over to Kari.
"Kari? Kari? What's wrong?"
TK was really worried about the mysterious light but more concerned about the welfare of Kari.
Suddenly, Kari quickly opened her eyes and she started to rise up. She felt a sudden rush or energy and looked toward the other Digi-Destined.
"Kari! Are you ok?" TK asked, "How did it feel?"
"Greetings, Digi-Destined."
"Huh? Kari?"
Kari's voice had become that of a woman's voice. She stood up and looked towards the battle that was going to ensue.
"So I see that the Digital World is more unbalanced than ever."
"Kari? What are you talking about? We already knew that," Sora said, "You don't sound like you feel good."
"I'm fine, but the monster you see before you is the real problem for the Digital World. He comes to destroy it as if he were a computer virus. And as a source from light from the four Holy Beasts, I will not allow his cruel acts to continue on like this."
Izzy could recognize the light coming from Kari.
"Kari. Hey guys, you might as well listen to her. I've managed to witness this sometime before Sora and Kari left to see Gennai."
"What you mean this has happened before?" asked Joe.
"Yeah and this source of light that is coming from Kari might be a real help for us against Burizalor."
"Wow. I never thought of that," Mimi said.
"I can explain the presence of this light. I am the one of the last sources of light from the four Holy Beasts before they were sealed away in limbo. Think of me as a sort of messenger. It was us who choose you as the eight Digi-Destined."
"You chose us?" Sora asked, "But why us? What siginificant thing possibly made us the selected Digi-Destined?"
"You eight were all involved in an incident that occurred four years ago. Do you remember the first digimon battle you witnessed, between Greymon and Parrotmon?"
"Yeah! We remember that!"
"Well we took information from the eight of you. There are eight different kinds of traits. There we created the crests and tags for you eight to use."
"And these digi-vices?"
"They enable the digimon to digivolve when there is a form of danger taking place. And remember a chosen digimon cannot digivolve without their partner and the digi-vice, it just doesn't work that way."
The Digi-Destined looked towards their digi-vices and their crests. They held them up to show her.
"Yes. Now tell me each of your crest's names."
"Love."
"Hope."
"Sincerity."
"Reliability."
"Knowledge."
"Now how about that young boy over there with the goggles?"
"He holds the crest of courage," Sora said, "Then the crest of friendship belonged to Matt but he was killed by Burizalor."
"A digi-destined killed? Burizalor wants you all executed but we will make sure that doesn't happen. You eight will stay strong. With your combined power, you will find a way to defeat this terrible creature claims the two worlds. Soon, you're own world will be at his grasp."
The Digi-Destined nodded their heads in agreement. They turned towards the battlefield to watch the battle that was about to ensue between Burizalor and War greymon.
***************************************************************************************
X was taking a watchful eye over the battle, which has transpired since War Greymon's arrival.
"Tai! You have to dig deeper and find your courage. You can't let Burizalor overcome you. If he's allowed to enter the real world, it will be devastating."
"X, do you have any idea who that voice behind Kari is?"
"Yes, but that is to remain a secret. The Holy Beasts have found a way to communicate with the Digi-Destined through Kari. This messenger makes valid points. Tai, don't let him win. Whatever it takes."
***************************************************************************************
Within a split second, lighting came crashing down from the skies as a form of radical thunder. The radical thunder came crashing down and it struck Burizalor. Instead of electrocuting him, it gave him a new surge of powerful energy. His body started to feel stoked as he faced War Greymon.
"I never felt this good before. So are we ready to begin?"
War Greymon quickly phases behind his adversary. Burizalor doesn't seem to flinch as a smile forms across his face.
"You choose to remain on the side of good and die? Is that what you really want? I'm quite disappointed with your judgment, War Greymon. But oh well. Suite yourself. You're just like the rest of those half-wit digimon. You are too stubborn to realize a good deal."
Suddenly, a small ball of energy started to form in Burizalor's hand. War Greymon took a step back but was ready for anything.
"You don't want to get me angry my friend. You don't want to make the same mistake that the other weakling digimon made when they turned down my offer for them to join my army. Oh well, no loss for me. They weren't worthy enough. But I just don't understand you. You have the potential needed to be a killer. That's why I asked you to join my army."
The energy ball started to fade away as Burizalor started to calm down. But Burizalor's anger took control and the energy ball appeared once again. It looks as though the energy generating from Burizalor also reacts to his emotions.
"You could have been the greatest asset to my army. You could have been a god, like I said before. It's such a shame. You're just a soft weakling. Soon, you will want to damn beg for me to stop inflicting pain upon you. Because trust me. One of us will be going to be sent straight to hell after this fight, and that certainly won't be me. But it certainly will be you."
The energy ball shrunk as he started to calm down but more of his anger took control. The energy ball started to form again according to his furious emotions.
"Just think, you just turned down a deal that you shouldn't have refused. But that's not my problem. No, it's your problem. Now you shall feel my wrath, War greymon."
The Digi-Destined turned their attention back to Kari. She nodded and was about to speak again.
"Now you understand what to do now?"
"Yes we do," Sora said, "We understand our mission. We were chosen to save the Digital World."
"Yes. You must not allow Burizalor to destroy this world and find a way to enter your own world."
"We won't let him. He's not going to hurt anymore innocent people and he won't hurt our families," TK said.
Kari held out her hands and a beam of light started to shoot out towards each of the Digi-Destined's tags and digivices. Sora's crest started to glow red. TK's emitted an orange-yellowish color. Mimi's emitted a light green. Joe's crest emitted a light blue. Izzy's emitted a purplish color. Kari's emitted a pink color.
Tai looked down at his crest and it started to glow an orange color. He wondered how it was generating power at a time like this. He turned to see Kari still glowing and shooting out beams of holy energy.
"What is she doing? How is my little sis doing that?"
"Wow! Our digivices have been recharged as if they were batteries! Prodigious," Izzy exclaimed as he started to activate his digivice through his laptop.
"That's a good sign. So now, our digimon should be able to have a new supply of energy after the recharge," Sora asked.
"That is correct, but use it wisely. I do believe that Burizalor has reached his fifty percent maximium."
This made the Digi-Destined look out to the battlefield and they started to worry about War Greymon and the power level of Burizalor.
Burizalor turned to face War Greymon and he looked ready to fight. He feels more energized than ever.
"Yes. There. I am now at fifty percent of my maximum power. So what do you think? Are you impressed?"
War Greymon felt his adversary's power level and his eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what he felt. It was out of this world and beyond his level or power.
"Wow. He wasn't bluffing. This is Freddy Krueger shit."
Burizalor stood still for a few moments as he quickly phased out within a split second. War Greymon didn't see it coming as he felt a powerful force ram into his stomach with malice. War Greymon gasped in pain as he fell backwards and held his chest in tremendous agony. War Greymon turned in all directions but he couldn't pick up Burizalor's energy through his sensors.
Suddenly, Burizalor phased in front of War Greymon and decked him in the face with several elbow shots. War Greymon couldn't counter any of the attacks since Burizalor's speed has also increased. War Greymon was pretty much screwed as far as fighting back was concerned.
Tai watched on and he couldn't believe his very own eyes. He had to witness Burizalor take apart War Greymon as if he were yesterday's garbage. Burizalor seems faster and stronger than before, and he was only at thirty three percent of his power before the power increase.
Burizalor head butted War Greymon several times before he punched him in the gut. War Greymon held his chest in pain and tried to swipe at Burizalor with his claws but Burizalor ducked under and leg-sweeped War Greymon. War Greymon attempted to land on his feet but Burizalor wraps his tail around War Greymon's legs as if he were a pig as he got hog-tied. Burizalor picks him up and elbows War Greymon in the chest. War Greymon goes doubling in pain. Burizalor flips over and stands there as if nothing happened.
"My back is turned. Have you decided to forfeit? What a disappointment."
War Greymon got to his feet and went for a kick to Burizalor's head but Burizalor ducks under and jams his tail into the chest of War Greymon. War Greymon goes falling back from the impact of Burizalor's tail. Burizalor turns to face War Greymon. Burizalor jumps back and goes flying right at War Greymon. Burizalor executes a flying headbutt into the chest of War Greymon once again.
Suddenly, Tai fell backwards and held his chest. It looks as though he was starting to feel the same sort of pain that War Greymon was feeling. The other Digi-Destined started to show worry for their leader and for his condition.
War Greymon was slowly getting to his feet. Burizalor appears behind War Greymon and whips him across the back with his tail. War Greymon goes falling back and drops to the ground. Burizalor walks over to him and picks him up. War Greymon struggles but he turns to throw in a punch but Burizalor phased out. War Greymon turned to see Burizalor knee him in the face. War Greymon stumbles back and gets whipped across the back by Burizalor, after he phased out. Burizalor jumps up and phases out. War Greymon turns to see nothing but air. But when he turned around to the other side, Burizalor punched him right in the face.
War Greymon holds his face but then something grabs him from behind. Burizalor wraps his tail around War Greymon's neck and picks him up. Burizalor proceeds to elbow him in the gut several times. War Greymon then gets tossed across the battlegrounds. War Greymon lands really hard on his neck and it causes him to flip over. War Greymon was really getting battered and bruised at the moment. Burizalor walks over to War Greymon and picks him up.
"Do you feel any pain yet? No? Then let me make it up to you."
Burizalor punches War Greymon right in the face, sending him flying back and crashing through a canyon wall. Burizalor flew down towards the fallen rubble. War Greymon was slowing getting to his feet. Burizalor walked over to him and picks him up. War Greymon was just about out as he was slowly losing consciousness.
"What's the matter? Do you have a headache? Here I'll give you the aspirin that you need."
Burizalor punches War Greymon right in the face and sends him flying back. Burizalor phases out and reappears behind War Greymon. Burizalor connects with a chop to the back of War Greymon's head. War Greymon goes falling back and falls to his knees. The impact felt like as if five sledgehammers combined had just hammered him in the back of the head. War Greymon was down on his knees and struggling to get to his feet.
"War Greymon! No," Tai cried out, "You have to continue on fighting!"
Suddenly, Tai fell to his knees and looked like he was in tremendous pain. He dropped his digivice and held his head and began screaming.
Burizalor turned his attention towards Tai and a sick smile came across his face. Just as he turned away, War Greymon jumped up and went to punch Burizalor. But Burizalor ducked under and phased out. War Greymon turned and was punched right in the face yet again. Burizalor stood there without breaking a sweat.
"You see. I told you that I was fast. So are you ready for your demise?"
Sora could not believe it and she was clenching her fists.
"Hang on! I'm sending Garudamon to help!"
"No," Leomon growled, "Even if Garudamon goes in to help War Greymon, it won't do him any good. Burizalor will easily take Biyomon apart."
"But, he needs help! War Greymon is going to die if this keeps up!"
"I suggest you keep your digimon back unless you want her to get killed as well."
"But I have to at least try," Biymon cried.
"No. There isn't anything you can really do."
Burizalor walks over to the fallen War Greymon and kicks him in the ribs. War Greymon goes flying back and through another canyon wall. Burizalor walks over to his adversary while buying his time. War Greymon could not get up as his whole body was in tremendous pain. Burizalor walks over to his fallen body. War Greymon could barely move a muscle.
Tai was thriving in pain as well, since he and War Greymon are connected. He couldn't get up to his feet.
War Greymon slowly rose to his feet and could hardly stand up. He could hardly focus on his opponent anymore. Burizalor pointed his finger at War Greymon and fired a blast. War Greymon goes stumbling back. Burizalor starts to walk up to him and fire finger blasts at him. War Greymon goes bouncing back from each of the blasts that he was taking. Burizalor continued his relentless assault on War Greymon.
Tai was stumbling back just as War Greymon was. He felt the same kind of pain that War Greymon was going through.
Sora couldn't bear to stand to watch Tai and War Greymon go through such punishment. She tried to hold herself back but her instincts were telling her to help her best friend.
"I got to help Tai! War Greymon is going to die if this keeps up! I don't care what Leomon said. I can't just let my friends suffer like that! I either do something or watch him die! I'm not about to hold back, not even against a murderous bastard like Burizalor!"
Burizalor kicks several rocks over onto War Greymon's fallen body. War Greymon looked like he was out and couldn't get up. Burizalor places a foot over onto War Greymon and stomps him away. War Greymon screamed out in pain after getting stomped by Burizalor. Burizalor picks War Greymon up and tosses him up. Burizalor phases out and reappears above War Greymon. Burizalor thrusts an elbow into the back of War Greymon. The mighty mega goes falling to the ground and a huge crater is formed from the impact.
Burizalor flies over it and looks over the fallen War Greymon. Burizalor powers up several ki-blasts. He fires them all over the ground. War Greymon was unable to withstand such a fury of attacks and he was blasted into the ground.
"No. War Greymon, you got to hold on..." Tai said before he was losing consciousness.
Burizalor looked over from the air and a smile came over his face. Just below the fallen debris was the fallen War Greymon.
"Well at least he put up a good fight, but all in vain."
The evil tyrant hovered down over to where War Greymon was laying. He was ready to finish off War Greymon.
"War Greymon! No! Tai has got to get back in control of this thing," Kari cried.
"I shouldn't worry about War Greymon anytime soon. That's because he's wearing his heavy armor. If he only removed it, then maybe he can fight twice as fast," Gatomon said.
"I don't think so. Even if he takes off his weighted armor, Burizalor will still kick the crap out of him," Leomon replied.
"Burizalor has got to have a weakness! He isn't indestructible. Most of the villains we fought had weaknesses and we exploited them in order to defeat them," Tai thought to himself, "But this guy is different. He seems to hide most of his weaknesses. He's like a freaking brick wall. No, I shouldn't be saying that. We will find out his true weakness."
Burizalor punches War Greymon away and sends him flying back through another cliff wall. Burizalor phases out and reappears right behind War Greymon. Burizalor fires several ki-blasts to stun War Greymon for the moment being.
"Looks like we are done for," Kari said as she was about to breakdown.
"I don't think so. Not just yet," TK spoke up, "War Greymon still hasn't done his mach speed times five yet. If he uses that, he's sure to whip Burizalor big time!"
"Yeah! You're right! Burizalor is screwed!"
"Knock it off!" Leomon growled, "You are all being foolish. That's not going to help any, because War Greymon has been using the mach speed times five. Burizalor is still taking him apart with tremendous ease. Looks like there is no hope."
This brought fear amongst the Digi-Destined since War Greymon poses no threat to Burizalor as of now. Nobody amongst the digimon could defeat such a monster like Burizalor. Metal Garurumon tried, he failed. Angemon and Angewomon tried. They've failed. Leomon has tried, and he failed. Now War Greymon might fail.
Sora looked down onto the battlefield as worry started to come over her face. Tai was down and out for the moment. He couldn't even move a muscle in order to reach out for his digi-vice.
War Greymon stopped himself and turned to see Burizalor flying back. War Greymon flew right after him in order to catch him up to him. War Greymon powered up into his mach speed times five mode. He tried to catch up to Burizalor as fast as he could. Burizalor phased out quickly. War Greymon stopped and turned to see Burizalor kick him right in the face. Then Burizalor elbows War Greymon right in the face.
Tai was twitching on the ground while enduring the same kind of pain that War Greymon was enduring. His digivice and crest was starting to fade out slowly.
Sora couldn't take much more of this and tried to help him, but she was holding herself back since she might get herself killed.
"Hang on, Tai! I know you will pull through with this, but if you need me, I'll be over here and I'll lend you a hand as much as I can. Don't worry. Just hang in there," Sora thought to herself.
"We got your back, big brother. He's not going to beat War Greymon. There's just no way," Kari said to herself.
Burizalor walked up to the fallen War Greymon. He looked like he was about to finish him off for good.
Burizalor has powered up to fifty-percent of his power. According to the presence behind Kari, the tyrant is bent on conquering many dimensions across the digital universe. That also includes the real world. War Greymon must overcome the dark one's new speed. Can War Greymon overcome the evil Burizalor and claim victory?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
War Greymon's Embodiment of Fire: Mach Speed Times Ten!
Burizalor made his way over to the fallen War Greymon. War Greymon was struggling to get to his feet. He felt a tremendous amount of pain throughout his entire body. He couldn't believe that Burizalor has increased both his speed and power throughout a short period of time, through one simple power boost.
"What's wrong?! You need a hand?"
Burizalor extended out his hand and grabs War Greymon. Burizalor picks him up and hoists him over to a nearby canyon cliff where tons of rubble fell upon War Greymon. Burizalor walks over the fallen rubble and steps over them.
Tai was struggling to get to his feet but to no avail. He felt too much pain flow through his entire body. He could barely lift up his arms. Since he and War Greymon are connected, he knows what kind of pain War Greymon is going through at the hands of Burizalor.
"War Greymon. You can't give up. You're stronger than he is. I just know you are. We can't let this creep invade our world. We must stop him and beat him at his very own game."
War Greymon manages to punch right through the fallen rubble and pulls himself out. He shook the cobwebs out and looked up at who was smiling at him. It was Burizalor. Burizalor picks up War Greymon and punches him in the gut. War Greymon cough in tremendous pain from the force of the punch's impact. War Greymon couldn't move his arms since he was starting to weaken. Burizalor tosses War Greymon down onto the ground. Burizalor walks over to the fallen War Greymon with deadly intentions in mind.
"We can't just stand around here," TK cried out, "He's going to die if he keeps this up!"
"No wait!" Leomon said.
"I'm sorry but we can't," cried out Kari as she clenched her fists.
"War Greymon is not done just yet. Have more faith in the Digi-Destined of courage. Tai is the type to never give up. Just watch and see."
Sora watched the battle ensue and a look of worry came over her face. Her best friend was still down and out. She couldn't do anything since she'll probably prove useless against a monster like Burizalor. Her crest started to glow but she held herself back.
War Greymon could barely get to his feet. Burizalor slowly walked up to him and wisely stalled more. War Greymon managed to get to his feet and got ready to fight. Burizalor phases out and reappears below him and nails a chop to the neck of War Greymon. War Greymon gags and falls to his knees. Burizalor kicks him in the back of the head.
Suddenly, Kari started to glow again and she emitted a bright light. She put her hands out and sent the energy straight to Tai's digivice and crest. The crest started to glow again and the crest of courage started to come to alive once again. The digi-vice emitted a bright light that surrounded Tai's fallen body. Tai opened his eyes and felt his energy being restored that would allow War Greymon to gain back his strength.
Burizalor starts a fury of kicks and punches at War Greymon. His relentless assault was going out of control and he had to be stopped as soon as possible before War Greymon gets killed.
Tai gets to his feet and his eyes become locked onto the battlefield. He holds onto his digivice and pulls out his crest.
"Alright War Greymon! We're back in the game! Its time to end this fight! And we attend to do it by increasing mach speed to ten times the power! I hope you're up for it buddy!"
War Greymon looked up to see Tai back to normal and out of consciousness. Suddenly, War Greymon felt his power increase suddenly and Burizalor took notice of this.
"I see you managed to shake the cobwebs out of that head of yours. Maybe you're not so dumb as I thought."
Burizalor felt a tremendous power increase and turned to see Tai holding onto both of crest and digivice. A look of disdain came across Burizalor. He was displeased with the result of the fight and turned his attention back to War Greymon.
"That boy is back to his feet. How did he recover so quickly? I got to find out the true power source that is giving these Digi-Destined the power to generate energy into their digimon. It just can't be only the crest and digivices themselves. There has to be another source of power that I am not aware of."
War Greymon felt a sudden increase of power as he powered up. His body started to glow the same color that the crest of courage's light was emitting, a bright orange light. A wave of power blew across the landscape. Burizalor felt it and almost went flying back but he held himself from flying back from such a tremendous force.
"What?! How is he doing this?! This is just not possible! I'm at fifty percent of my true power! There's no way that a digimon, even at the mega level, can emit such a power! I have to find out the true source of this power!"
War Greymon screamed with fury during his power increase. Tai was screaming with rage. He held his crest up and a beam of light struck War Greymon. The mega absorbed the energy as much as he could and his power began to build up once again.
"Alright, Burizalor. You want to increase your power to fifty times its maximum? Well I can increase mach speed up ten times! Now you're in for a big surprise!"
"But how are you able to achieve this much power? It's just not possible! Not even from a mega leveled digimon such as yourself."
"You know that's a very good question. Even I don't know the true source, but whatever it is, it is giving me the power to overthrow you once and for all! So get ready, Burizalor! You're going down!"
[Metallica's Master of Puppets plays during battle sequence]
War Greymon flew right at Burizalor and went for a right hand cross but Burizalor quickly phased out. Burizalor reappears behind War Greymon and goes for a kick but War Greymon ducks under and executes a swift uppercut at Burizalor. Burizalor goes flying up but he stops himself. He looks down and shoots down several ki-blasts at War Greymon. War Greymon started to manuever away as his speed has increased ten fold. Burizalor flew down and went to blast away at War greymon but he phased out. Burizalor tuend around and was met with a left hook jab into the face by War Greymon.
"Mega Claw!"
War Greymon spun himself into a tornado and drilled himself into Burizalor. The evil tyrant goes flying back from the tremendous force. Burizalor goes flying back and crashing through a large pile of fallen rubble of a former canyon ledge. War Greymon flies on over to the pile of rubble and waits for Burizalor to pop out.
"That's the way, War Greymon! You kicked the living crap out of him, but look out, he might be hiding his power so that you don't trace him."
"I'm on it and you're right. I can't feel his power level. I know that he's not dead. He's hiding."
Suddenly, War Greymon turns around and Burizalor comes flying right at him. War Greymon maneuvers and fires a ki-blast right at Burizalor. Burizalor knocks the blast away and phases out. He reappears above War Greymon and fires down several ki-blasts. War Greymon phases away and reappears behind Burizalor. War Greymon decks Burizalor right in the face. Burizalor goes flying back and holds himself from flying back any further.
[Master of Puppets ends]
"Well it's good to know that you have gotten a little faster," Burizalor said as he commented War Greymon's new upgrade speed.
"You still haven't seen anything yet."
"Hmm? What are you talking about?"
"Oh you'll see."
"What now? How can I help War Greymon increase his power? Burizalor will easily realize War Greymon's true power. How will I be able to do this?" Tai said to himself.
Suddenly, Tai heard a boy's voice in his head.
"Tai. Is this how you are going to win this battle?"
Tai's eyes widened and could recognize who it was.
"Matt?! Is that you? But you're…"
"Dead? Ha! You don't know what dead really is, but that's not the important issue right now. Am I hearing you doubting yourself? Well that is unlike you."
"This is a really bad time to diss me, man."
"I'm here to tell you that you shouldn't give up. Burizalor must not be allowed to win. He will invade our world after he is through with this one. War Greymon is the only one who really stands a chance against Burizalor."
"But how can I beat him?"
"Well you're the leader and you always come up with the best decisions just for the team. You're the leader and nothing can take that away from you. I thank you for looking out for everybody else, including my little brother. TK would be very proud of you. So would your sister, Kari."
"You're right. They've been safe and that's all that matters. It doesn't really matter if I live just as long as the others do. Burizalor can not be allowed to win."
"Yeah, that's the spirit Tai! Now go out and be a leader again for all of us! You and War Greymon are our only hopes. Show that creep what the power of a true Digi-Destined is really like!"
Tai turned his attention back to the battle. He held up his crest and it started to glow even more. The other Digi-Destined stood together as they put their faith all onto Tai.
"You can do it, Tai,"Sora thought to herself.
"Win this battle big brother. We're the Digi-Destined. We can't be beat,"Kari said to herself.
War Greymon started to power up as he faced Burizalor with sheer determination.
"The fate of the Digital World is on the line. The fate of Tai's world is on the line. It all depends on us! Burizalor, we won't let your evil ways corrupt anymore innocent lives ever again," War Greymon cried out.
"Oh is that so? Well then. Are you going to try and stop me?"
"You bet and you're going to realize the true power of courage! Under estimating the Digi-Destined's power will lead to your downfall!"
"No! I don't think so! You're going to lose, dammit! I'm going to see to that!"
[Random Dragonball Z Fight music plays during battle sequence]
Burizalor goes flying right at War Greymon and decks him right in the face. Burizalor starts hammering away at War Greymon and sends him flying back. Burizalor phases behind War Greymon and knees him in the back. War Greymon goes flying back and goes to stop himself but Burizalor phases in front of him. The evil tyrant lashes out his tail and whips War Greymon away.
Burizalor reappears behind War Greymon and whips him away with his tail once again. War Greymon stops himself and hovers over onto a top of a small cliff ledge. Burizalor looks up at his adversary and a smile comes across his face. War Greymon realizes that Burizalor has another trick up his sleeve and can easily sense his power level reading.
Burizalor extends his left arm back and closes the fist. A purple aura of light emulated over his closed fist. War Greymon was ready for the next upcoming attack as he got into a blocking position. Burizalor waved his hand forward and sent the energy wave straight at War Greymon. Then there was a bright glow that flashed over the landscape. Everything goes all white for a moment.
As the light cleared away, everybody uncovered their eyes to see what they couldn't believe what they saw. Burizalor was hovering with no scratch on his body, nor was War Greymon. But just past them, a huge crack line was formed over the canyon ledge. It started to split apart and the land was cut down by the blast.
"Oh my god," Sora said, "What the hell happened?"
"He. He sliced the world into two halves with that attack," Biyomon said, "But I just don't know how he did it."
"Geez! This guy just doesn't know when to quit?" TK said, "He obviously wasn't holding back. That had to be one portion of his real power."
"No. That was just the appetizer. You still haven't seen anything yet," replied Leomon.
"He used that technique to cut the world into two halves like Biyomon said," Gatomon said, "How could he have more power than that."
"Remember he can destroy dimensions as well. So War Greymon better realize that he's up against a full deck here."
Burizalor hovered up and over to where War Greymon was standing. War Greymon looked across the landscape that was cut in half by Burizalor's surprise attack.
"Whoa! How did you? You cut the land in half! That's just insane!"
"I was just warming up. You see. I told you that I can destroy this pathetic world if I wanted to."
"No! What if I can't beat this guy. He's too much."
"No, War Greymon! You can't let him intimidate you! You're better than he is! You have to power up to ten times your digital modification power boost," Tai said, "Maybe it's possible we can take him down by using it!"
"Alright, but I've never tried it. Gennai warned us that it could cause my own self-destruction if I were to increase my power up that high."
"We'll never know if we don't try. We have to risk it or else Burizalor is going to destroy this world!"
"Alright. I'll give it shot, even if it means my own destruction. It's no better than seeing you killing more innocent lives, demon!"
"Ok that was a lot of big talk from a big tough digimon such as yourself. But answer this question for me. What makes you think that even ten times your current power is able to penetrate my shiny armor?"
"You want to find out? Then be my guest. I want you to get me angry. That way, I have more motivation in killing you myself."
"Very well. I'll bring the power right out of you then."
Burizalor cracks his knuckles and turns to face his adversary. He phases out and appears in front of War Greymon. He goes and punches away at War Greymon. He phases out and appears below War Greymon. Burizalor executes an uppercut to him and sends him flying back with a swift kick to the side of War Greymon's head. War Greymon goes flying back and is unable to stop himself because Burizalor had phased above him and nailed a fist to his chest. War Greymon goes falling down into a massive lake.
War Greymon was sinking down into the lake as he was trying to regain his breath back. He looked up and began swimming up back to surface. But just as he poked his head out, a huge ki-blast went flying right at him. War Greymon managed to duck under within the last second. He swam over and went to poke his head out again but another ki-blast was sent straight at him. Again, War Greymon barely ducks under. Burizalor fired those ki-blasts. He was just many yards away from the lake. He began shooting more ki-blasts in hopes of actually nailing War Greymon.
War Greymon looks up and watches all of the ki-blasts passing around in many directions. He held his breath as long as he could before Burizalor gets tired of shooting more ki-blasts. Suddenly everything stopped and War Greymon felt Burizalor's power decrease. This allowed War Greymon to surface up from the lake but Burizalor was there to stop him by placing his foot on him. Burizalor used one foot to push War Greymon down into the water and not giving him the chance to regain any breath of air.
"No! War Greymon! You got to push out!" Tai cried out, "C'mon buddy!"
Burizalor pushed down even harder, making it literally impossible for War Greymon to surface up. Within seconds, War Greymon had stopped moving and was unable to breath any longer. His movements suddenly stopped. His vision goes blurry and everything faded to black.
*************************************************************************************
X watched the battle unfold while the deceased digimon warriors were training. Keke walks up towards the masked fighter.
"X? What's wrong?"
"Tai. He's losing his confidence. Burizalor is even greater than I previously thought. I think I better try to get through to Tai. He's just about losing it."
"Help him."
"I'll give it a try. I'll communicate with him through his mind. I just hope he'll be able to reply."
**************************************************************************************
Scenes started to fade in from the black darkness. Everything was very quiet. There were no cries or blasts being fired. It was just all dead silent. The landscape seemed barren. There were no signs of life. However, there was a fallen body lying on the ground. The body belonged to Kari. She looked dead as her eyes were wide open. In fact, she was dead.
Then next to her was the dead body of Sora. Then there was a view of every dead body of the Digi-Destined. Each of them had holes in their chests with blood trickling out of the wounds.
Suddenly, there was a cold and evil laughter being heard. A dark shadow loomed over the landscape. He blended in well with the fog as his eyes were glowing a blood shot red. There was a sneer that came over his face while looking down at the fallen bodies of the Digi-Destined.
"Tai! Where were you when we needed you," cried a voice.
It belonged to Kari.
"We lost. There was no way in hell that we could of beaten him," another voice cried out.
This time it belonged to Sora.
Tai found himself in dark, barren landscape and couldn't find a way out. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of him and was being blasted toward him. But this blast didn't harm him, but it went inside of his body. He felt a sudden power surge throughout his whole body. He turned to see War Greymon fully energized.
"Tai. You and War Greymon must work together on this. You can't win without your partner. As the Digi-Destined of courage, you are the keeper of the crest of courage. Together, you will stop the evil force that is Burizalor. So are you still in this?"
"You bet I am, X. I'm not going to let him kill anymore people! We're finishing this!"
**************************************************************************************
Suddenly, the water below Burizalor was starting to boil up as if it were like a stew pot. Burizalor took notice of this and felt a sudden power increase. His eyes widened as he felt an enormous power pop right out of the water. The evil tyrant goes flying back but he managed to stop himself from flying back any further. He looked to see the smoke clear up and to his shock, War Greymon appeared in front of him.
"But how?! How in the hell were you able to push yourself up?! I had you drowning at my feet!"
The Digi-Destined cheered happily at the sight of War Greymon back to his feet once again. Kari and Sora were definitely happy to see him all recovered. They turned to see Tai. He held his crest while it was glowing a brighter orange color.
"Alright buddy! This time its time to show this creep! Show him ten times your normal power! Let him have it!"
"The future of both worlds. They depend on me," War Greymon cried out, "You maybe a million times stronger than me, Burizalor. But I won't let my friends down. So get ready, cause I'm going all out on you! Ten times my normal power!"
Burizalor suddenly felt a rush of energy coming from War Greymon. The heroic digimon started to power up as a bright orange aura formed around him. Burizalor started to show a little anxiousness but he was ready for anything that War Greymon was going to throw at him.
Suddenly War Greymon phases out quickly and decks Burizalor right in the face. War Greymon goes flying right at Burizalor and goes for another fist to the face. But Burizalor was able to fly up. War Greymon put his hands back and pushed them forward and shot out a powerful blast.
"Terra Beam!"
Burizalor watched as the beam was coming right at him. He couldn't phase out nor could he blast it away. He put his hands out and attempted to stop it and push it back.
"Mach Speed! TIMES TEN!"
War Greymon put more power into the beam and made it push right back at Burizalor. Then the beam hit Burizalor as a huge explosion took place.
"Wow! That was phat! Now that's what I call firepower!" Tai cried out.
A smile formed across his face at the sight of what had just occurred.
" "That was kick ass," Sora commented, "I have get Biyomon to do that."
"You think he's done for?" Kari asked.
"I don't know. Knowing Burizalor, he might have been affected by that blast. No normal digimon would be able to survive that," TK replied.
War Greymon breathed heavily as the smoke was starting to clear up. He waited for his adversary to pop out and attack, but nothing to that extent occurred. Instead, the smoke cleared away and Burizalor was hovering up with his hand extended out. He shook furiously as he noticed some cuts and scratches on his hand. He looked down at War Greymon and was growling with sheer anger.
The Digi-Destined could hardly believe it! Burizalor managed to survive the increased ki-blast that was ten times the normal power. Tai couldn't believe it. Neither could War Greymon.
"No! Still nothing?!" Tai exclaimed.
Tai and War Greymon were the most surprised. That was ten times the normal attacks War Greymon would usually use those kind of attacks to put away even the strongest of all of the digimon. Even titan monsters such as Venom Myotismon and Metal Garurumon would have been begging for mercy, but it only left mere cuts and scratches on a creature like Burizalor.
"Oh no! This isn't good!" TK cried out, "Burizalor is still there! Looks like he has several cuts but he sure isn't down and out."
"That's for sure. I thought he would be done for," Kari said, "Not even ten times the normal power, was War Greymon able to put a major hurting on that monster!"
"If War Greymon can't get the job done, then how are we supposed to win?" Sora asked, "Even if we help, we'll just get in the way."
"No we must not think like that. We must have more faith in Tai. He is the leader of the Digi-Destined. He knows what he is doing. Just give him the chance. Its not over just yet," Leomon replied.
Burizalor looked down at War Greymon and concern was overcoming him.
"Where did this one come from? I've never seen such a digimon such as him. He's somehow different from the rest. Strange. How could such a digimon generate this much strength. I must take this mutant out once and for all."
Burizalor looked at his hand. It was covered from cuts and scratches after pushing back that tremendous ki-blast that War Greymon shot at him. He looked down at War Greymon and his expression showed a lot of rage and anger.
"Prepare to die, War Greymon!"
Burizalor flies down towards the battlegrounds and faces off against War Greymon. War Greymon got into a fighting stance despite losing a lot of energy since using the Courage Beam.
"It is time to die, War Greymon. Where you're going is somewhere even worse than hell itself!"
War Greymon started to power up and formed a ball of energy in his hands. Just as he was about to throw it at Burizalor, the evil tyrant phased out. War Greymon stopped and turned around. He saw Burizalor flying right at him. Burizalor executes a devastating head butt into the face of War Greymon. War Greymon goes flying back while Burizalor was flying up to catch up to him. Burizalor phases above him and nails him with an elbow to the gut.
War Greymon goes falling to the ground. Burizalor flies right down and fires two ki-blasts at War Greymon. War Greymon pulls out his brave shield and pushes the energy blasts right back at his adversary. Burizalor phased out and appears right in front of War Greymon. He punches through the brave shield and nails War Greymon in the chest. The brave shield shatters into pieces from the force of Burizalor's punch. From there, Burizalor starts hammering away at War Greymon.
"War Greymon! Stay tough! We can pull through this one!"
War Greymon goes flying right at Burizalor and goes to swipe at him with his claws. But Burizalor was able to phase out and deck War Greymon right in the face. War Greymon goes stumbling back and trying to hold his balance. Burizalor phases behind War Greymon and held out both of his hands. He sends two ki-blasts at War Greymon, pushing him back. War Greymon managed to fly up and dodge more of Burizalor's ki-blast attacks. War Greymon held both of his hands up and shoots out several beams at Burizalor. The evil tyrant was able to deflect them.
"So is that the best you got? Where is your great power? I thought you had ten times more than your normal power."
"It really doesn't matter now, your fate is about to come."
Burizalor was rather pissed at what War greymon just said. He quickly phased out and started hammering away at War Greymon. But War Greymon started to block away with his claws. He swiped at Burizalor with his claws but to no avail. Burizalor was much to fast to catch up to. War Greymon attempts to execute a kick to the gut but Burizalor lashes out his tail and whips down War Greymon's leg. War Greymon goes falling but he stops himself in time to land on his feet.
Burizalor phases above War Greymon and fires down several blasts that knock War Greymon off his feet and shatter the ground that surrounds him. Burizalor lifts his hand up and the ground started to shatter. War Greymon flies up to avoid getting blasted into the ground. But as soon as he flies up, he turns to see a ki-blasts being fired right at him. War Greymon goes flying back and his chest started to emit smoke from that impact.
"He's taking him apart," Sora cried out.
"We have to at least do something," Biymon said, "I don't think War Greymon can take that much more damage."
"Like I said before, Tai can handle this. War Greymon isn't just going to give up just yet. I have a feeling that War Greymon is going to use something that even Burizalor doesn't know about."
War Greymon was down, but he was slowly getting to his feet. He looked up to see Burizalor walking slowly up to him. War Greymon got into a fighting position and goes for a spin kick but Burizalor holds out an arm to block it. War Greymon goes to spin kick him on the other side but Burizalor blocks it out yet again. War Greymon goes to punch Burizalor right in the face. However, Burizalor was able to catch his hand and thrust his fist into War Greymon's chest. War Greymon cried out in tremendous pain and fell to his knees.
"What's wrong? You got a cramp? Here let me fix it up."
Burizalor thrusted his fists forward and began punching War Greymon's chest like there was no tomorrow. War Greymon fell to his knees as Burizalor goes for another punch, but War Greymon phased out. War Greymon reappears behind Burizalor with everything going in slow motion. Burizalor slowly turned around to be met with a kick to the face. Burizalor goes flying back and War Greymon phases behind Burizalor. He grabs Burizalor by the tail and tosses him over to where a large cliff ledge was standing.
Both super powers looked toward each other in a dramatic standoff. War Greymon was catching his breath and attempting to regain more of his power.
The other Digi-Destined watched on in awe at what they just saw.
"This is just incredible. War Greymon was able to catch up to some of Burizalor's movements. Maybe he does stand a little bit of a chance," Izzy said.
"He should. Burizalor has been taking everybody apart with ease yet War Greymon was able to put up the best fight out of all of us," Tentomon said.
"But does he still have a chance?" asked Mimi.
"We don't know for sure but he might have a slight chance this time," Palmon explained.
"Its only a matter of time Burizalor get's a taste of his own medicine. Nobody wrecks our world and gets away with. Of course except me of course with my charming humor."
"This isn't the good time to be joking around," Joe said, "Tai. I hope you got something up your sleeve, cause we are in serious trouble."
Burizalor and War Greymon continued to stare down each other. A smile came across Burizalor's face. He started to chuckle under his breath and crossed his arms.
"I managed to take a power reading from your and you seem to be getting stronger slowly. Which is why I decided to unleash something else that I have been holding back. Yes. You have no idea what it is?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about, another transformation?"
"What?!"
"Yes. You see, this is not my true final form. I decided to collect as much energy as I can over time and I will have the first chance to unleash it."
"No you have to be bluffing! That's just not possible!"
"You think I'm kidding around? How naive you have become, War Greymon. You should feel honored. You will be the first to witness this ultimate transformation and you will be the last to witness it. Because you will be dead after I'm through with you!"
Burizalor held his arms out and let his body glow a red color. He lets out a blood-curling scream as his body started to bulk up. His legs, arms and upper body started to enlarge and the muscles started to bulge out. His head pushed back as three pointed curves came out into spikes. His face started to harden along with it.
The other digimon felt a tremendous power increase and were scared to their wits.
"What is it, Gatomon?" Kari asked, "What is Burizalor doing?"
"Its worse than I thought."
"Well what happened?"
"Patamon?"
"TK! Burizalor was hiding the fact that he has a true final form and he is unleashing it now!"
"What? That just can't be! I thought that would be his final form."
"Yes right, TK," Leomon said, "How could I have been so foolish! I should have known that Burizalor would be capable of this! I don't think even War Greymon has any idea of what he's up against!"
Tai's eyes were widened and he was literally shaking. He couldn't believe his very own eyes.
"He's even stronger than before!" War Greymon said, "This is just totally insane! There's no way in hell that I can beat him now!"
A face shield covered him. He looked similar to the Super Shedder, but much larger. His eyes glowed crimson red. He turned to face War Greymon.
"So are you impressed?"
"This doesn't look good."
"Now prepare to die!"
Burizalor's voice had transformed as well. It was much deeper and satanic. It sent chills down the spines of the other Digi-Destined.
Burizalor goes flying at War Greymon and goes for a punch but War Greymon maneuvered out of the way. It seemed as though, Burizalor also transformed into a super sized monster on steroids. War Greymon flies up and looked around his surroundings. There was no sign of Burizalor anywhere. He looked down. To his surprise, Burizalor was gone. As he turned around, he saw Burizalor flying right at him and decking him right in the face with an elbow shot. War Greymon goes flying back from the force of the impact.
War Greymon stops himself and turns around to see Burizalor hovering. Burizalor chuckles while crossing his arms. War Greymon couldn't believe how fast Burizalor has gotten.
"You understand now? You never really had a chance to beating me this whole time. All I needed was the time and the right moment to transform into this final form."
"But how are you able to increase your power along with your speed?"
"Quite simple really. I can control my own ki as long as I'm in battle. You should try it more often. Then again, no digimon has the ability to do so. You're basically screwed."
"Crap! This guy somehow transformed himself into some kind of super freak! He's stronger and faster than his previous form. I have to do something to help War Greymon avoid his onslaught. This is going to be tougher than I thought," Tai thought to himself.
Burizalor flies right at War Greymon and goes to knock him down with a thunderous right cross but War Greymon goes to maneuver away. However, just at the last second, Burizalor was able to phase out. War Greymon stood in shock and felt a dark energy reappear behind him. He turned to see Burizalor chuckling. The gigantic monster nails War Greymon in the face with a thunderous fist to the face. War Greymon goes flying back and crashing through the ground. Burizalor hovers over and blasts several beams over the fallen body of War Greymon.
Kari and Sora couldn't hold themselves back and were so anxious to have their digimon help out War Greymon in possible opportunity. But Leomon held them back. He would not allow the other Digi-Destined to interfere in Tai's battle just to get themselves killed. One Digi-Destined killed was enough, but seeing more dying is even worse and could spell the demise of the Digital World.
TK felt a sudden rage erupt in his body and his crest started to react to his emotions. Kari took notice of this and was starting to worry.
"TK. No. You can't do anything to help," Kari said, "You'll just end up getting killed."
"Patamon. We have to at least try and help War Greymon. I hate sitting around. That heartless monster killed my brother. Now we're going to kill him."
"TK control yourself. Please."
"I'm sorry. Kari, I can't."
TK was shaking with anger as he grasped his digivice and looked as if he was about to crush it. Kari ran up to him and held him tightly. TK started to calm down a bit as Kari began to soothe him just as a mother would do to calm her child down. TK was shaking while being held by Kari.
"Don't worry, TK. My brother will avenge us all," Kari said to herself.
Burizalor walks over to the fallen War Greymon and looked as if he were ready to attack again. War Greymon was slowly getting to his feet. Burizalor pointed his finger at War Greymon and fired a blast. War Greymon goes staggering back. Burizalor shots another one, this time in the leg. War Greymon jumped backwards while clutching his wounded leg. Then, he shot another one at War Greymon's left shoulder. War Greymon grasped his wounded shoulder. Burizalor shoots another one, this time at War Greymon's right arm. War Greymon cried in pain as he was literally on his knees.
Tai felt the same amount of pain that War Greymon was enduring. He screamed in pain while holding his arm, shoulder and leg. He kept stumbling back just as War Greymon was after being shot by a beam.
Kari gasped in horror while she watched her brother enduring the torture. Suddenly, she started to snap and anger was beginning to build up just as TK was just a while ago.
"No! I can't let that monster kill War Greymon and my brother! TK had to endure the loss of Matt! I won't let that happen to my flesh and blood!"
Burizalor went beam crazy as he shot more beams at War Greymon. His face became that of a madman's, as if he had just lost complete control of his sanity. War Greymon fell to the ground as several blood wounds were trickling out.
Tai fell to the ground as well and placed his hand over his arm. Suddenly, he felt something moist and looked to see what it was. To his own shock, it was a red crimson all over his hand. His own blood! He was losing as much blood as War Greymon was. Burizalor was literally trying to kill him through War Greymon. That was a part of his plan all along.
"He knows that we are connected. He found our strong point. Now, he's going to take advantage. I'm sorry, guys. I tried my best..."
Kari watched her brother losing blood and anger erupted. Her crest started to shine. She let out a scream and her body started to glow again.
"Kari? What do you think you're doing? No! Don't even think about it!" Sora cried out, "You're going to get killed if you let Gatomon fight now."
"It's no better than seeing my own brother getting pummeled into oblivion!"
"I'm with you!" TK said, "My brother ended up getting killed and I won't stand to see your brother die either."
"Thanks, TK."
"TK! Don't," Sora said, "I can't afford to lose both of you! Your just kids!"
"We're not just kids anymore," Kari said, "We're Digi-Destined and it's time we take responsibility in doing our part."
"So please try to understand and let us send our digimon into battle."
Sora stood there as she was thinking. They are much more mature since their arrival in the Digital World. They are the keepers of hope and light.
War Greymon was barely moving as he began to exhale and inhale quickly. It looked as though he was dying. Burizalor walked over to his fallen body and picks him up.
"You weakling."
Burizalor kicks War Greymon up and watched his adversary go flying up into the air. Burizalor flies up quickly and catches up to War Greymon. He drives an elbow into the gut of War Greymon. Burizalor puts two hands out and fires several ki-blasts at War Greymon. Burizalor phases out behind War Greymon and clubs him with his fists. War Greymon goes flying down and crashing through a cliff ledge. War Greymon goes plowing through the ground and into a lake. Burizalor hovers down to where his adversary was laying. Burizalor picks him up and smiles at his weakened adversary. After that, he greets War Greymon with a fust to the gut.
Kari and TK have seen enough as their crests started to glow.
"Gatomon!"
"Patamon!"
"Time to digivolve! We're taking this creep down now!"
Burizalor stopped and looked up to see the two children's glowing crests. Patamon and Gatomon flew up as they were prepared to digivolve.
[Digimon Adventure "Brave Heart" plays in sequence]
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Gatomon chou shinka! Angewomon!"
Burizalor flew up to meet the two digivolved warriors. A smile came across his face.
"I hate to interrupt your digivolving procedure but you seem to be interfering with my little playtime hour with War Greymon."
"Playtime is over, demon," Angemon said.
"We won't allow you to kill anymore innocent lives," replied Angewomon.
"Blah. Blah. You two morons never shut the hell up., but if you two want a shot at me, then be my guest."
"I'll show you! Hand of Fate!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
The two powerful attacks came straight for Burizalor but he quickly stopped both attacks with his hands. They stood frozen for a moment as Burizalor snapped his fingers. The attacks exploded just like that. The two angels couldn't believe what Burizalor had done to their attacks.
"Is that the best you got?" Burizalor asked, "So what now? I'm getting really bored here."
"What do we do now, Angemon?"
"This is going to be more difficult than we first thought."
"No wait! Angemon! Angewomon!"
"Huh? Who is that?" "You heard that too, Angemon?"
The angels had heard a voice inside their heads. It was a telepathic message from War Greymon.
"You two will by me some time by attacking Burizalor. By doing so, it will allow me to gather energy for me to use the Life Bomb. X taught me this technique, remember? I have the ability to make it bigger and more effective than the last Life Bomb I created to put down Metal Garurumon. Please, do your best and fend off Burizalor while I do so."
"As you wish War Greymon. Ok, Burizalor. Ready for round two," Angemon cried out.
"Round two? Don't make me have to hurt you again. If you insist, then I'll be more than happy to kick your asses."
Angemon and Burizalor phased away. The two warriors collided with one another and started to hammer away at each other. But Burizalor seems to be getting the upper hand by maneuvering away from Angemon's fist attacks and takes advantage by punching Angemon right in the face. Angemon goes flying back and holds out his staff. He flies at his adversary and goes to nail him with his staff, but Burizalor maneuvers away and clubs him in the back really hard. Angemon goes flying back and goes for the attack once again but as he turns around, he finds nothing but air. Burizalor phases above Angemon and drills him in the face with an elbow shot.
Kari turned to see TK falling to his knees and screaming out in pain. She knew what she had to do.
"Angewomon! You got to help Angemon! TK isn't fairing too well at the moment!"
Angewomon came up from behind and shot out her Celestial Arrows at Burizalor. The evil tyrant extended his hand out and blocked out the arrows. Burizalor crushed them with his hands and turned them into digi dust.
"Is that the best you got, with those pitiful toys of yours? So would you like to do something else now that my back isn't turned?"
Burizalor phases in front of her and rams his fist into her gut. Angewomon doubles over and falls to the ground. Burizalor turns his attention back to Angemon and blasts him away.
TK and Kari both doubled over in pain as they felt the same kind of torture that their digimon was feeling.
Tai quickly opened his eyes and laid his hand onto his digivice. He slowly got to his feet despite the amount of pain that was surging through his entire body. He was dying of blood loss but that wouldn't even stop him.
"War Greymon. It's time to use the Life Bomb. We're going to need a lot of power if we plan to make it effective enough."
"Yes. I will gather as much energy as I can. I will gather it from our surroundings. I'll gather the energy from the remaining life force that remains here..."
"Good. Now we can't waste any time. Angemon and Angewomon aren't fairing too well at the moment. We better make this hasty."
"Don't worry. I got this in the bag..."
Tai made it on his two feet and held his arms out.
"What is he doing?" asked Sora.
"If I know any better, it looks like War Greymon is about to gather energy for a big energy blast that will do Burizalor in," replied Leomon.
"I sure hope they know what they're doing because Angemon and Angewomon aren't doing so well at the moment."
Just as Tai was holding out his arms, War Greymon was doing the same and held out his arms. It looked as though he was chanting something under his breath but no one could make out to what he was saying. It could be a chant for his next attack.
"So anybody else want a crack shot at me?" Burizalor asked, "How about you Sora? Is your digimon ready to fight me?"
"Sort of. Let me show him what I'm made of!"
"No. You'll get killed. You stay here until War Greymon makes his next move."
"But, it looks as though he's gathering energy for a big blast. I'm going to have to get involved momentarily."
"But..."
Sora looks out at the battlefield and sees War Greymon holding his arms up. Then she turned to see Tai doing the same thing.
"This looks familiar. Is Tai going for what I think it is?"
Burizalor flies to the ground and starts walking over towards the fallen Angemon and Angewomon. A look of pain and disdain came over their faces as the evil warlord started to make his move towards them.
"Now would you two like to say anything before I finish you off? No? Well then, say goodbye!"
Burizalor pulled his fist back and it began to glow a red color. He was about to finish off the two angels with a deadly blast that would wipe them out from existence.
"Oh no! Angemon!" TK cried out, "You have to get away from there!"
"Angewomon! No! Leave them alone, creep!"
Just as Burizalor was about to power up a big blast that would annihilate the two angels, he felt a tremendous power level rising. He turned around and looked to see War Greymon holding his arms out.
"What in hell is he doing?"
The ground around War Greymon started to crumble as a large crack was forming. Burizalor took notice of this and a look of worry formed across his face. He was concerned at what kind of energy War Greymon was gathering.
"Just what do you think you are doing, War Greymon? I can feel a very strong energy from you. Tell me. Is this another one of your little games, War Greymon? Am I supposed to be petrified in fear? Am I supposed to be prepared for this attack that you're about to use against me? Well guess what? You're not fooling anybody, including myself. You should realize that with every attempt in defeating is rather pointless and repetitive. I have no equal, not even from the likes of you."
War Greymon did not hear a word that Burizalor was telling him. He knew that Burizalor was attempting to distract him to lose his concentration on gathering enough energy to forming this new Terra Force technique. He felt tremendous energy entering his body and continued to gain as much energy as he can.
Tai was holding his arms out and felt tremendous energy entering his body as well. Whatever energy was surging through War Greymon now, Tai was feeling the same exact thing.
"Don't let him distract you, War Greymon. You're better than he is. I don't care how much stronger he has gotten. We have this one in the bag. All we need is more time to gathering as much energy from the Digital World as we can to form this new Terra Force attack that X was telling us about. All right this is the first step. We better hurry, cause the others aren't faring too well at the moment."
"Yes, Tai. I'm gathering as much energy as I can. This creep won't know what hit him. He's going to least expect this."
"Ok I don't know what you are doing, but you aren't going to stand around there like some sort of statue. You are going to fight me, because that's what I'm looking and that's what I will get. Do you hear me?!"
"Loud and clear. But you will actually put enough damage onto me to stop my momentum?!"
"Oh will I? That's what I will do if you don't make your move! I'll come right for you and force the fight out of you! Now, I'm not here to waste any time with you. I got other digimon to exterminate by the end of the day. I'm on a bit of a tight schedule."
"Well sorry to disappoint you. But you're going to have to wait, big guy. This is going to take a long while."
"I don't think so! Fight me!"
Burizalor shoots out a beam and sends it straight at War Greymon. He goes staggering back. A smile forms across the face of Burizalor. Suddenly, War Greymon started to snicker and then laughing. He looked up to face Burizalor and laughed at him.
Tai was doing the exact same thing. He was laughing just as War Greymon was.
An angry look came over the face of Burizalor as he fired another beam at War Greymon. War Greymon goes staggering back some more. And again, War Greymon was laughing despite the enormous amount of pain being inflicted upon him.
This infuriated Burizalor even more as he fired another beam, this time in the chest of War Greymon's armor. War Greymon goes stumbling back further and fell to his knees. But even that wasn't able to stop the heroic digimon. War Greymon slowly got to his feet. He began laughing once again. Burizalor was really starting to steam up as his adversary was just merely laughing at him. Nobody has ever laughed at the evil warlord while getting attacked by one of his deadly beams.
Sora took notice of this. She was getting concerned at War Greymon's actions.
"I know what he's doing," Sora said.
"What? What is he doing? He just seems to be standing there the whole time," Leomon said with a tone of confusion in his voice.
"He's gathering energy for Life Bomb. X taught them this technique. However, he's creating a much larger version of the last one. With that amount of energy that War Greymon is gathering, this is going to be one big blast."
"I see. That's why he is gathering the energy from his surroundings, more specifically life sources to help build up his Life Bomb. I can feel it too. Its one hell of a whopper!"
"Yeah and Burizalor won't know what hit him," Biyomon cheered.
"Lets just hope so," Sora said.
"What's going on, Izzy?" asked Tentomon.
"It looks as though War Greymon is about to unleash a huge Life Bomb."
"You're telling me! I can feel the energy! It's a whopper!"
"Lets hope this will actually be affective," Mimi said.
"You said it! This is our last resort," said Palmon.
****************************************************************************************
"Way to go, guys! That's the way to pull it together!" X replied. "Now gather that energy! That's the way I taught ya! Burizalor won't know what hit him when he gets a look at the Life Bomb. He's screwed."
Keke sat up with a smile on her face. She was relieved to know that Tai was helping War Greymon to gather energy for the Life Bomb. She made a prayer and hoped for the plan to be executed with perfection.
****************************************************************************************
War Greymon stood there as he continued to gather more energy and turned to face Tai. Tai nodded as a way to encourage him on.
War Greymon has now decided to use a trump card of large portions. He will use the Life Bomb technique, which was mastered by the warrior named X. He must gather as much energy as he needs if he plans to put away his evil nemesis. Will it be enough to put away the vicious tyrant?

***********************************************************************************
[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
"Gather Enough Energy War Greymon!" Unleash the Power of the Spirit! War Greymon's Secret Attack!
War Greymon continued to gather as much energy needed for his ultimate attack, the Life Bomb. This one seemed to have more energy behind it.
Burizalor had taken notice of this large energy and tried his best to stop War Greymon with one of his destructive beam attacks. But every time he shoots one at his adversary, he would just simply laugh. This ticked off Burizalor really bad and it only made him want to further kill War Greymon even more.
Tai was doing almost all of the work along with War Greymon. The energy they were seeking was the surrounding energy from within the Digital World.
"From every living creature in the Digital World and the environment. We summon your energy for us to use to make our Life Bomb stronger than it ever was."
War Greymon was chanting the same words but he also faced Burizalor while doing so.
"This has gone far enough, War Greymon! Just what are you trying to prove? You certainly aren't proving me anything by just standing there. My patientance is wearing thin."
"Getting impatient are we? Well you got to wait just a little longer. Sorry to burst your bubble there."
Burizalor couldn't stand such arrogance from an inferior digimon in his view. Even War Greymon was laughing after getting shot several times by Burizalor's deadly beams.
"Burizalor sure doesn't look like a happy camper right now," said Sora.
"That's for sure and he's going to attempt to destroy War Greymon right here and right now. We should at least distract him momentarily to allow War Greymon to gather as much energy as possible if we plan on winning this war."
"But that's not going to be a walk in the park! It's going to take all of us to stop that maniac," Biyomon shrieked.
"She's right. Even with our combined strength, we can't even touch Burizalor let alone, penetrate through his shiny armor."
"I never said it was going to be easy. Then again, a battle against Burizalor is never easy," Leomon said.
"Alright. That's it. I want action right now," Gomamon whined, "I'm going to show that creep who's boss!"
"Yeah right. You get close to him and you'll be fried seafood platter for him," Joe said as he held Gomamon back.
"We're going to have to at least try to stop him momentarily," Mimi said, "Or else War Greymon is going to give out."
"Well Izzy? What should we do?" Tentomon curiously asked.
Izzy thought for a moment and said, "Its the best solution. Plus it will allow War Greymon enough time to gather as much energy as he can in order to create this Life Bomb that could do Burizalor in for good."
War Greymon stood there with his arms raised up while gathering more energy from his surroundings. He looked towards Tai and watched as his human partner was doing the exact same chant.
"Good. It's really good to know that you're with me on this one. I promise we will claim victory and beat this monster once and for all!"
Burizalor charged in at War Greymon and started to hammer away at him. Without in way to block himself, this left Burizalor the chance to punch War Greymon from all over his weak spots. War Greymon took each hit and ignored the pain that was rushing through his entire body.
Burizalor starts shooting away several beams that sent War Greymon flying back. Burizalor looked to see his adversary down on the ground. A smile came over his face. Suddenly, War Greymon rose to his feet slowly and began to laugh once again. Burizalor growled with anger and fired more beams straight at War Greymon.
Tai stumbled to the ground and held his chest in pain. He shook off the pain and started to laugh just as War Greymon was a little while ago.
"Tai! We got to help him now," Sora cried out, "I'm not going to sit around here any longer! You can try to stop me but it won't be any use! I won't listen!"
"Sora! Wait!" Leomon yelled out as he tried to grab her but she ducked under and slid down the cliff with Biyomon at her side.
Burizalor continued firing several more blasts at War Greymon as if her were a form of target practice. Things were taking a turn for the worse in War Greymon's case.
"Biyomon! Time to digivolve! Are you up for it?" Sora asked.
"Ready whenever you are!"
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence]
Sora's digivice and crest activated as Biyomon got ready to digivolve.
"Biyomon shinka! Birdramon!"
Biyomon had now transformed into a large firebird and then she felt more energy enter her body as she got set to digivolve to her ultimate level form.
"Birdramon chou shinka! Garudamon!"
In place of the firebird, there was a tall, bird-like monster in her place. It was Garudamon and she was ready to fight. She turned to face Burizalor.
"Tai! I'm coming in to help! Hang on," Sora cried out, "Get him, Garudamon! We need to help War Greymon gather energy for his Life Bomb!"
"I'm on it!"
Garudamon flew up and towards the battlefield. She looked down to see Burizalor firing away at War Greymon.
Burizalor looked up to see Garudamon and a smile came over his face. He pointed up and started firing beams at her. Garudamon was able to maneuver away from the beams that were coming right at her. She looked down and found that Burizalor wasn't there. She turned around and saw Burizalor flying right at her. He knees her in the face and clubs her on the back of her head. Garudamon goes flying down but she stops herself in time.
Garudamon turns to see Burizalor punch her right in the face. Garudamon goes flying back which allowed Burizalor to fly right after her and headbutt her in the gut. Garudamon goes flying back and crashing through a nearby cliff ledge. A large explosion occurs as the cliff ledge crumbled. Burizalor flew over and looked down at the fallen Garudamon. His eyes started to glow crimson red under his face shield mask. He held out his hand and shot down several deadly beams at his fallen adversary.
Garudamon managed to roll out of the way and she appears right behind Burizalor. Burizalor sensed her coming and phases under her. Burizalor delivers a devastating uppercut into the chin of Garudamon. Burizalor elbows her in the chest and blasts her away. Garudamon goes flying back, which allowed Burizalor to fly right at her and delivers a devastating blow into her gut. Garudamon goes falling to the ground as she got the wind knocked right out of her.
"So, this is what you're true strength really is? How absurd. You're not the one I want to fight. Your not even a threat in my view," Burizalor cackled, "I'll kill you off just for the amusement."
"No! Garudamon!" Sora cried out as her crest started to glow.
This gave the energy boost that Garudamon needed.
Garudamon felt a new surge of energy enter her body from the power of Sora's crest. She quickly opened her eyes and got her strength back. She quickly got to her feet, which surprised Burizalor.
"So, back for round two, aren't we? Well this time I won't go easy on you like last time. It's interesting how Sora gives you this power from just a simple crest and digivice."
"It's not just the crest but it's her love for me and her love for the entire Digi-Destined. It makes us stronger. That's why she possessions the crest of love!"
"Ah! You're not fooling anyone. Even with more energy boosts from the crests combined couldn't defeat me. Lets not forget, I managed to beat the living hell out of three megas today. You all had your chance and you all failed. You best stay out of the way and let me finish off War Greymon, then you'll be next!"
"I'd like to see you try."
"Oh really? How persistent. So are you ready to die, my friend?"
Burizalor holds out his fists as blades came out. Garudamon got into a fighting stance. Burizalor phased out and Garudamon looked around her surroundings in search of her foe. She turned to see Burizalor flying right at her with his blades ready. He managed to cut through her chest, leaving a large cut wound.
"You forgot one thing, my speed has increased. So your chances have gone out the window! Taste my blade!"
Burizalor flew right at Garudamon again and slashed at her. Garudamon held her left arm, which got cut by Burizalor's deadly blades. Burizalor noticed some trickle of blood on his blades. He took a lick of Garudamon's own blood, which brought disgust to her and Sora.
"Your blood does taste refreshing. By the time I finish you, I will be bathing in your own pool of blood."
"Sora, I'm trying my best. But his speed and power has increased since transforming into this new form."
"I know and it doesn't look good. We have to keep on trying to beat this guy! We can't give up! We have to by War Greymon some time to gather as much energy he needs to complete his Life Bomb."
"Alright. Let's just hope he gets done pretty soon."
Burizalor flew right at Garudamon again and quickly phased out. Garudamon screamed in pain as she felt something cut her across her chest. She turned to see Burizalor with blood-soaked blades.
"You're about to give up soon. I can feel your power depleting after every blow I inflict on you. Its only a matter of time."
"Sora. I don't know how much damage my body can take. Burizalor has me pretty much at his mercy."
"Don't give up, Garudamon! Everybody is counting on you now!"
Burizalor flew right at Garudamon again and went to slash at her with his blades, but this time, Garudamon was able to maneuver away and dodge his deadly blades. Burizalor phased out and reappeared in front of her. He rams his feet into her gut and blasts her back with a beam. Garudamon goes flying back. While she goes flying back, she stopped as she got kneed in the back. Burizalor had rammed his left knee into Garudamon's back, which sent an enormous amount of pain throughout her whole body.
"Garudamon! Hang in there!"
Garudamon screams in agony and turns to punch Burizalor. He had already phased out. She looked up and was blasted down by Burizalor's beams. She couldn't attempt to maneuver away. The beams had stunned her. Burizalor phased in front of her and started hammering her away with shots to the body.
"Angemon! You have to help her!" TK cried out.
Angemon was slowly getting to his feet and looked to TK. He nodded and flew up with his staff in tact. He flew right at Burizalor and went to nail him with his staff. Burizalor turned to see Angemon flying at him and maneuvered away. Burizalor goes behind Angemon and applies a hammerlock on him.
"So, you're trying to sneak me up from behind? You should realize that your futile attempts are no match for me. You can even try to camouflage yourself, it still won't save you my friend."
"You won't win, monster. You disgust me."
"Ohhh your words flatter me. How about I make that up to you?"
Burizalor throws Angemon to the ground below and fires away several blasts. Angemon gets hit by each of the beams and it sends him flying down and crashing into the ground.
"Well that takes care of them. Now to take care of some vermin."
Suddenly, Burizalor felt a tremendous energy coming from War Greymon and turned to face him. He started walking towards him.
"So, are we still gathering precious energy, tough guy? What's the matter? Are you afraid of using your fists and challenging me one on one?"
"Don't let him psych you out, War Greymon! This is our only chance! We're going to beat this creep once we have enough energy for the biggest Life Bomb ever seen!"
War Greymon concentrated in gathering more energy as he felt the energy ball getting bigger. Burizalor hasn't noticed this yet due to the fact that he was keeping his attention on his adversary.
"Whoa! Take a look at that!" Mimi cried out as she pointed out to something.
"Oh my god!" cried out Izzy, "That thing is humungous!"
TK, Kari, Sora and the others also looked up and their eyes widened at what they saw. Leomon couldn't believe. The energy that he was picking up from was out of this world.
Floating above the entire the Digital World was a large ball of powerful energy. It looked like one of War Greymon's Terra Force, but this giant version made the normal looking ones look like dwarfs. It was definitely the Life Bomb. There hasn't been a power this big before. What was even more interesting was the fact that Burizalor hasn't even noticed it yet.
"So are you going to fight me or not War Greymon. I'll say it again. My patience is quickly wearing thin. You attack me or I'll go right at you and force the fight out of you!"
"Why don't you come over here and try? You have no idea what we have in store for you next."
"Oh don't give me that crap! You know that I am the far superior being in the Digital World. You can just let me kill you so that we can get this fight over with. Say goodbye."
Burizalor pointed his finger at War Greymon as he was about to shot him with one of his finger blasts. But then he saw something glowing on the ground. He took notice of this and gasped.
"Huh? Is that the sun? What a minute, what's going on here?"
Burizalor looked up to see what was emitting such a bright light and an enormous power. His eyes went wide at what he saw. He couldn't believe to how big the energy ball has gotten. He has never seen such a large energy ball.
"Hurry, War Greymon! You got to throw it now," Tai cried out as he continued to help War Greymon gather more energy.
"No. It's not ready yet!"
"All of that energy was coming from that single energy ball. You collected energy this whole time? My god. It's big. I never seen anything like this...War Greymon! You have been hiding this sort of trick from me! Now you shall pay! You will die by my hands now!"
War Greymon continued to gather as much energy as he could to complete his energy ball. Burizalor knees him in the gut and hammers away at him with closed fists. War Greymon's face goes rocking back after every blow inflicted by Burizalor. Burizalor blasts away War Greymon and sends him flying back. War Greymon falls to the ground with his body aching from the impact. Burizalor slowly walks over to him as War Greymon was slowly getting to his feet.
"Time to perish, my friend. It was nice knowing you. You gave me quite a challenge but not what I was looking for. You have disappointed me. So, this world won't miss another weakling."
Burizalor pointed his finger at War Greymon and preparing to shot a blast at him. But War Greymon jumps up and goes to punch his adversary. Burizalor was able to catch his fist and point his finger towards War Greymon's forehead. A purple aura of light was glowing around his finger. He was getting ready to blast War Greymon's head off.
Suddenly, something was flying right towards Burizalor and War Greymon. It was fast and swift. It created an enormous force so strong that once it neared the two warriors, the force was able to knock Burizalor away. Burizalor roared out as he was sent flying back and towards a path of mountains just many, many yards away from the battlegrounds.
War Greymon turned to see who it was and to his surprise, it was Leomon.
Tai was also taken by surprise and said, "Leomon! Thanks for saving our necks there!"
"War Greymon. You got to hurry it up with that Life Bomb quickly! I think that attack wasn't enough to put away Burizalor for good."
"I need more time to form this modified Life Bomb. It needs more energy."
"Throw it, War Greymon! Just throw it!"
"I can't..."
Leomon turned to see where Burizalor was laying and pulled out his sword. He felt a tremendous energy regaining its awesome power. It was Burizalor and it seemed as though he was recovering faster than ever.
Izzy turned to face Tentomon.
"Looks like we'll be needing Altur Kabuterimon for this one."
"Just leave it to ol' Tento!"
[Digimon Adventure "Brave Heart" plays in sequence]
With that being said, Izzy's digivice started to glow, which gave Tentomon the power to digivolve into his champions form.
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"
Izzy's crest of knowledge was activated. It gave Kabuterimon the ability to digivolve into his ultimate level form.
"Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
Altur Kabuterimon showed up onto the battlefield with Leomon and turned to face War Greymon.
"We'll take care of everything from here, War Greymon. All you need to do is collect as much energy as you need for your Life Bomb."
"Thanks, cover for me."
"Alright, Altur Kabuterimon! Be on the look out. Burizalor is very tricky. He can cloak his strong power level."
"Gothca! Hopefully, we can hold him off long enough for War Greymon to complete his energy attack."
"Lets hope so, Altur Kabuterimon."
"Thanks Izzy. I owe you big time," Tai said to himself as he helped gather more energy for War Greymon in creating the Life Bomb.
Meanwhile, just far away from the battlefield, there was a large pile of rubble along the watery grounds. A sudden burst of energy came shooting out like a torpedo. Out of the ground came Burizalor. His eyes were glowing crimson red and he was full of sheer anger. His voice became evilly possessed to add to his anger.
"YOU DARE ATTACK ME LIKE THAT?!Damn maggots! Now I'm going to send you to the farthest depths of hell when I get through with you! Ha! Ha! Taichi, I'm coming for you when this is all said and done!"
Burizalor flew right back to where the battlefield was and he wasn't a happy camper when he hovered down to where they were meeting him. His eyes were looking over to Leomon and Altur Kabuterimon. He kept his attention off of War Greymon.
"So? Would you like to try that again now that my back isn't turned? Leomon, you don't know who you're messing with here. Don't make me humiliate you for the third time, my friend. I wanted to spare you for your life, but you leave me no choice. You'll just be another lamb being sent straight to the slaughter. Hmph, Altur Kabuterimon. Koushiro must be desperate if he sent you out. But that's ok. He'll have the pleasure of seeing his own digimon dying in front of his feet. Ha. Ha. Ha."
War Greymon growled in anger at the sight of Burizalor but he kept his concentration on gathering as much energy as possible to create his Life Bomb. This Life Bomb was said to have the most powerful effect against a foe. Would War Greymon finish the process? That's up to War Greymon and Tai to do so, if they want to defeat Burizalor.
Burizalor faced his two adversaries and the blades came out of his hands. He looked ready to shred them up into tiny pieces as a result of their recent action.
The other Digi-Destined watched. A two on one battle was about to take place. TK and Kari paid close attention to the face off but they looked on to see that their digimon were slowly reviving themselves. Relief came over them at the fact that their digimon were fine and dandy.
Tai watched the face off and continued to gather more energy along with his digimon partner, War Greymon.
***************************************************************************************
X felt the enormous ki coming from the Life Bomb. He finally noticed that it was much larger than the one used to put down Metal Garurumon in the digital world. He nodded his head.
"Alright, Tai! That's the way! You two have mastered the Life Bomb technique. It took me quite a while to learn it, but you two are simply amazing. They've mastered it during a shorter time span."
"What's going on? How are they doing?" Keke asked.
"So far, they're not doing so well. Burizalor is pissed off and he's really going to be gunning for Tai's friends. War Greymon had better hurry and throw the damn thing. It's been quite a while."
"He'll pull through, X. I just know they will."
"I hope so. The entire digital universe depends on them. Burizalor can't be allowed to claim victory. It's in your hands now, Tai. You will prove to me that you are truly the Digi-Destined of Courage. You must protect those that you deeply care for. Your sister, TK and Sora depend on you."
"Not to mention Matt, Mimi and the others."
"Yes. You can do it, Tai. Remember the training that War Greymon pushed himself through. Just remember who you two are fighting for!"
***************************************************************************************
War Greymon held out his arms as he continued to gather as much energy as he can. There was a sudden increase of power amongst the sky. This powerful energy was coming from the Life Bomb that was slowly building up.
Tai also was helping out his digimon partner with building up the Life Bomb. He wouldn't give up just yet and put all of his faith on his digimon.
Meanwhile, Burizalor faced off against both Leomon and Altur Kabuterimon. Burizalor was angry as ever since the last sneak attack upon him by Leomon.
"You may have caught me off guard my friend. This time your luck has officially come to an end."
"No, it looks like your momentum is about to come to an end."
"Leomon, don't make me have to humiliate you again. I really don't want to do it. I thought of sparing you, but now I've seen enough of you!"
"Lets get this over with once and for all!"
Burizalor flies right at Altur Kabuterimon and Leomon with his blades all ready to slash them. However, Altur Kabuterimon was able to maneuver away as fast as he could. Burizalor phased out and began slashing at Leomon. Leomon attempted to block the slashes but got slashed in the arm in the process. Altur Kabuterimon fires several blasts at Burizalor but he was able to reflect them back at the mighty beetle. Burizalor phased in front of Altur Kabuterimon and delivers an elbow into his gut. Altur Kabuterimon goes stumbling back and flying right through a walled cliff. Burizalor phases out and reappears above him. Burizalor fires several blasts at a fallen Altur Kabuterimon.
Leomon came flying right at Burizalor and started throwing in punches. Burizalor was able to phase away from each punch being delivered to him. Burizalor comes out of nowhere and blasts a wave of energy at Leomon. Leomon was barely able to maneuver away from the blast. He watched as it hit a nearby boulder and caused a huge explosion as a result. All was left but a pile of rubble and dust. Leomon was shaken with horror at the sight of the attack. He turns his attention back to Burizalor and starts to power up.
"What's this? Leomon, don't tell me you are charging up for another attack. Don't even waste your energy. It's useless."
Leomon held his two hands forward and a ball of energy started to form in his hands. His body started to power up along with the energy ball being formed. Leomon growled while powering up, which did not intimidate his adversary one bit.
"So, will this attack even be worth it. Or are you just going to waste my time, Leomon?"
"Oh you'll see."
Leomon pulled back and pushed forward. He roared out as a large ball of energy came homing right at Burizalor as if he were a target. Burizalor gasped at the incoming ball of energy and wasn't able to dodge it. It nailed him directly. A large explosion took place and Burizalor was covered in a large cloud of smoke.
"Looks like we got him," Altur Kabuterimon commented as he began coming out of the pile of rubble.
"Lets hope so. I put a lot of energy into that shot. It was perhaps the last of my power that I had left."
"So is he done?" TK asked.
"That shot wasn't good enough to put him away," said Sora.
Kari gasped in horror and looked up to Sora, "How do you know that?"
"Just take a look for yourselves."
As the cloud of smoke started to clear away, a look of disdain and shock came over the face of Leomon. When the smoke cleared away, Burizalor was standing there without a single scratch on him.
"No! No! That's not possible. Damn you..."
"Ouch. Now you've only managed to piss me off."
Leomon growled in anger and started to power up once again. he shot out several energy blasts right at Burizalor and kept on shooting to keep his foe at bay. He has wanted to kill Burizalor since day one. Now it may be Leomon's chance for revenge. He continued his relentless assault on the evil tyrant with a possessed look on his face.
"Yeah! He's doing it! Go get him, Leomon!" Joe cried out.
"Show him the ol' one two!" Gomamon said.
"Maybe he can beat him," Mimi said, "Right Palmon?"
"Oh yeah."
"Hold on you guys. Lets just think here. Burizalor isn't going down after those blasts," Izzy replied, "It's going to take a lot more. We need War Greymon and that Life Bomb to win this battle."
As the smoke started to clear away, Leomon was catching his breath but he gasped with horror at what he saw. To his surprise, Burizalor was still standing there unscathed.
"Ok, are we done with this little routine? It's getting old, Leomon. So, I'll tell you what. I'll make your death, slow and painful. How could you like that?"
Leomon goes to punch Burizalor. Leomon misses with the fist. He hit nothing but the gust of wind. Burizalor quickly phases out behind Leomon and elbowed him in the back. Leomon roared out in pain as Burizalor picked him up from behind his neck. Burizalor started to hammer away at his adversary's back.
"Such a nice effort, Leomon. But now you realize that even with your best attempts at stopping me, it was still not enough. So, its time to say goodbye."
Burizalor pointed his finger at Leomon's head and made it his main target. His finger started to glow a purple color. This beam would determine the fate of Leomon. If he were to use this beam, he would blast Leomon's head off and kill him. This was Leomon's last chance. He had the battle won but was too overconfident of Burizalor's ability.
"Sayanoora, Leomon."
Burizalor's beams started to expand. They were ready to blast Leomon away. Until suddenly, two large blasts came out of nowhere from both directions and they collided with Burizalor from side to side. Burizalor didn't expect this as he was blasted.
"Whoa!" Mimi said, "Where did those blasts come from?"
"That even surprised me," Joe said, "Any idea, Izzy?"
"No. I have no clue. It couldn't have been War Greymon, since he is still gathering energy for the Life Bomb. Hmmm... Ah! Look!"
Izzy pointed out to the battlefield. The smoke started to clear away once again and Burizalor was still standing there but he was in a blocking position. On the ground, Leomon was laying and still lucky to be even alive. Burizalor looked out to see how shot two blasts at him without him knowing. He turned to see Angemon and Angewomon breathing heavily and auras surrounding their bodies.
"Alright! Way to nail him!" Kari cheered, "He was caught by surprise for sure!"
"Great job, Angemon," TK said.
Burizalor was trembling with anger but then a smile came across his face.
"An amusing trick. They really caught me off guard. These digimon are getting stronger every time I make an attack on them. They seem to be recovering from their mortal wounds. Those Digi-Destined possess quite unique powers. I'll be interested at how powerful they will eventually become, but not as long as I'm around. No, no. It's time that I finish this little game."
Angemon and Angewomon flew down to meet up against Burizalor. They were ready to fight him, with a two on one advantage. However, Burizalor stood there laughing and pointed to the Digi-Destined.
"The end has come at least for you, Digi-Destined! Its time I send this wretched world into the depths of hell! I shall finish this!"
Burizalor pointed and started to hover up quickly. A black ball of energy started to form in his finger. He flew up and he had a crazed expression on his face. A dark crimson red emitted from his eyes. The ball was getting bigger and bigger with every second being wasted.
"I call this move the Armageddon Genocide! With this technique, I will be able to cloak this world into darkness and cause its own destruction! Try to stop me now! You have no chance whatsoever, Digi-Destined! You all will be sent to eternal hell and limbo! Ha! Ha!"
"Oh no! War Greymon! Now! We need that Life Bomb now," Sora cried out, "Tai! We have to hurry! Burizalor is going to destroy the Digital World with his next attack!"
"Its almost done! It's almost there."
"Throw it! Throw it now, dammit! We're going to die!"
War Greymon started to shake as more energy was being sent to the large ball of energy he was creating. Tai was also starting to shake from the energy gathered and the abuse his body has taken since he was connected to War Greymon as far as spiritual power was concerned.
"We got to hurry!" Kari cried out, "War Greymon! We need it, now!"
"I want my mommy!" TK said, "I wish we had the support of everybody on earth now."
***************************************************************************************
Back on the earth, the entire human population was looking up into the sky and watched. The ball got bigger. They were amazed and knew they had to lend a hand. They all stood together to support the Digi-Destined that were battling this new evil.
But the biggest supporters amongst the human population were the parents of the Digi-Destined. They stayed together in support of their children. They knew that they had to lend a hand against the evil force that is Burizalor.
They wanted their children to return home safely and their strong spirits were able to give the energy ball more energy that it needed.
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor continued to fly up as his energy ball got even bigger. He was ready to throw it and witness the destruction of the Digital World before his very eyes. His time of domination of earth would soon come if he destroys the Digital World.
The Digi-Destined all cried out in unison.
"TAI!"
"THROW IT"
"NOW!"
Tai pulled his arms back and pushed them forward. War Greymon did the same and felt his body start to crumble after releasing the huge force of energy.
"Life Bomb!"
Suddenly, a large orange ball of energy came hurtling towards where Burizalor was hovering. Burizalor looked up and saw the large Life Bomb coming right at him. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of it. He watched as it swallowed up his death ball beam.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
The Life Bomb started to push Burizalor back. Even the powerful brute strength and speed of Burizalor wasn't enough to push the energy ball back.
"THIS THING! IT'S TOO POWERFUL! NO! DAMN YOU, DIGI-DESTINED!"
War Greymon flew right at Tai and snatched him away and started towards the other Digi-Destined.
"You guys! We have to get away from here now! Lets go!"
Angemon and Angewomon went over to help Leomon to his feet and carried him over to the others and away from the battlefield. The others all followed Tai and War Greymon's lead.
The ball of energy pushed Burizalor further back into the ground. His screams were becoming increasingly blood curling like never before. Burizalor's eyes started to bulge open while he continued to scream.
"I CAN'T PUSH IT BACK! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I SWEAR THAT I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
Burizalor screamed out as he was pushed further down into the ground. Then there was a large explosion. The force of the explosion was like a small meteorite struck the surface. The force of the explosion caused shock waves to push everything back and the ground was crumbling like never before.
The Digi-Destined and the digimon were all sent hurtling back from the impact. They watched as a large cloud of smoke started to cover the entire area. Nothing was left except total darkness.
***************************************************************************************
X gasped and was silent for a moment. Keke and the deceased digimon gathered around him. A faint chuckle came from the masked fighter's mouth.
"It's happened."
"What's happened?" Keke asked.
"Yes. We need to know about the Digi-Destined? How have they been doing?" Centaurumon asked.
"He did it! War Greymon and Tai have defeated Burizalor! They've beaten Burizalor!"
The entire group gasped in silent shock. They were stunned to realize that the digital universe's greatest threat has been defeated by the Digi-Destined. The tyrant has been put to rest after many years of destructive terror.
"Wow! Taichi and his partner really did it!" Andromon stated.
"This calls for a celebration!" exclaimed Piximon. "Those kids really did it!"
"Way to go, guys!" X said. "You've made us proud. Heh. I knew my Life Bomb technique would kick that ass!"
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, down in Digital Hell, the previous villains were stunned beyond belief. Even more surprised were the Demon Corps.
"That's impossible!" Puppetmon whined.
"No. I refuse to believe it," muttered Skull Satan. "Our glorious leader isn't gone."
"I call it a fluke!" Marine Devilin exclaimed.
"Are you sure they're not just pulling our string?" Metal Tyrannus asked.
"Idiots. I know Burizalor better than anyone," Piedmon thought. "It will be a matter of time before our lord raids on their parade. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces. Those children are fucked."
**************************************************************************************
Just as though everything seemed to turn for the worst, it turned out to be better. As the smoke cleared away, there was nothing left but a pile of rubble. There were no movements. Not even any power level readings. It was total silence. Just then, water started coming out the ground. There was a large hole in the middle of the ground where the Life Bomb had struck.
Then there was life coming back to the scene. A hand popped out from underneath the rubble. Now there were two pairs and another pair. TK came crawling out and catching his breath. Kari came out as well.
"Kari! Oh thank goodness you're safe!"
"Same to you."
Gatomon and Patamon popped out as well. They had de-digivolved after losing so much energy from the battle.
"Gatomon!"
"Patamon!"
The two children embraced their digimon but then they felt total sadness when they couldn't find the other Digi-Destined.
"So where are the others?"
"You don't think they could have been.."
"Don't think like that TK. They have to be alive."
Their questions would eventually be answered as more hands started popping out of the ground. This time it was Mimi, Joe, Gomamon and Palmon. Then Izzy, Tentomon, Sora, Gabumon and Biyomon popped out. Gabumon had already recovered from a long unconscious period.
"Yay! You're all fine!" TK said.
"See. I told you so," Patamon replied.
"Yeah but where are Agumon, Leomon and my brother?" Kari asked with a tone of fear in her voice.
"Well, just be glad that Burizalor is gone. That blast was too much for him to handle. Looks like we won and saved the Digital World," Sora said.
The six children looked out into the sunset as the waters started to calm slowly. Their battle has bee won. Burizalor has been defeated and killed by the Life Bomb. But, Tai, Agumon and Leomon were missing.
The glorious Life Bomb has vanquished the terror. Burizalor has been defeated. Have the Digi-Destined really won the battle? Where are Tai, Agumon and Leomon? Did they perish with Burizalor in the blast? All of these questions will be revealed.

Yugi: I could use a little competition here. Hey, Kaiba! Seto Kaiba! I didn't know you were going to be here.
Kaiba: I came looking for you. You owe me a duel. This time I have Obesilek the Tormentor.
Yugi: I've got my own Egyptian God monster. You're on!
Joey: Oh, man! This will be good! Wipe the floor with him, Yugi!
Coral: All right! I'm ready! Who's the guy Alan Wilkinson has sent for me? Bring him on!
Suddenly, a figure comes walking out from an aisle. Everyone turns as they see the figure. He looks like Zeo Ranger V. However, this warrior is a digimon. Coral wields her sword and swings it.
Coral: So, this is my opponent? Aren't you a little too early for Halloween? But, I can sense a big ki from ya. Ok, you ready to get this over with?
Zeomon: Just call me, Zeomon. Let's see what you're made of.
Coral: Bring it!
With that said, the two warriors collided with one another. Coral pushes Zeomon back with her heavy-weighted sword. Zeomon counters with an elbow smash and wields out his own sword.
Zeomon: This is my Star Sword. I see you want to take it to a sword to sword battle. Let's continue!
Coral: You're move.
Zeomon and Coral charged at one another. They're swords clashed together and caused the ground to tremble due to the tremendous impacts. Zeomon shoots an energy blast, but Zeomon counters with a beam from his helmet. Coral jumps forward and slashes at Zeomon. She only manages to catch an after image.
Max: Damn! This is what I call a ballroom brawl! Let's allow these two to tear this place up. In the meantime, you readers check this fic out. Enjoy!

The Legendary Warrior Born: Omega X! An Explosion of Anger!
The once raging waters slowly started to calm down as time passed on. The six Digi-Destined looked out to the waters and they were worried over the conditions of Tai, Agumon and Leomon. They were the last to get away from the blast.
"TK?"
"Yeah, Kari?"
"You think my brother and Agumon are ok?"
"I know so. I know for a fact that your brother is one of the bravest people I ever met. He and Agumon will be ok. I just know they will."
"Yeah. What about Leomon?"
"He'll be okay too. Just don't worry so much. They will all be fine."
Kari nodded her head in agreement and looked out towards the calm waters that settled alongside the shores.
"Tai! Agumon! Leomon," Sora cried out to hear any responses.
There was no response to her pleas.
"Tai! Agumon! Leomon!"
Joe and Mimi were sitting alongside the shore. They were trying to get their minds clear of the whole battle that had just occurred.
"So, is your wound getting better, Joe?"
"Yeah. I'm just glad that Burizalor didn't stab his horn right through my appendix."
"Ha! That would have been the final blow there for you then."
"Yeah. How are you feeling?"
"Just sad about Matt's lose. I feel bad for TK. He tried so hard to become such a good leader."
"I know what you mean. I always thought he was just looking for attention, but I saw a different person in him today. Something I've never seen before."
"I'm proud of the way he defended us while Tai and Agumon were out. He had the true attributes of a leader. Plus, he made sure that TK remained safe. That's a sign of a true brother."
"Let's just try to remember him how he was, a true friend. That's why he received the Crest of Friendship."
"Poor Gabumon is taking it hard. Somebody has to talk to him."
TK looked over to see Gabumon sitting down and looking out into the sunset.
"Gabumon?"
"Yes, TK?"
"I'm sorry about Matt. He protected us by sacrificing himself."
"Yes. I never thought Matt would put his own life on the line just for our safety. But let me tell you, that's a sign of a true friend. He sacrificed himself not just for the sake of the others but also for you. He did not want such a monster like Burizalor to kill you."
"I always knew Matt was the greatest big brother I ever had. And he proved it to me."
"That's right and don't you forget that."
TK nodded in agreement and looked to see Patamon flying to him enthusiastically.
"TK! TK!"
"What is it, Patamon?"
"You guys have to check this out! I think I found somebody in the water!"
"You did! Who is it? Tai and Agumon?"
"I don't know but we got to check it out!"
"Lead us there."
TK and Patamon headed over to the other Digi-Destined.
"You guys! You have to check this out! Patamon said he found something just around the corner in the waters," TK said as he ran over to the direction Patamon led him over to.
"What? Could it be? Tai?" Sora asked as she went to follow them.
"Prodigious! This is a good sign," Izzy said as he followed Sora and TK over.
"Lets go see!" Joe said as he helped Mimi to her feet.
They all went over to follow, including Kari. Kari was happy for that fact that her brother may have been found.
Soon, the other Digimon would follow them over. As they arrived at the area, they found the children all gathered around a waterhole. They saw the water starting to bubble up.
"Tai? Agumon? Leomon?" Sora said as tears were slowly coming down her face.
This wasn't tears of sadness but tears of joy and relief.
Suddenly, a hand popped out of the water hole and the Digi-Destined all jumped up in fear. However, to their relief, the hands belonged to Leomon. Leomon pulls himself out of the water.
"Alright! You made it through, Leomon!" Joe said.
"Yeah but where's my brother?" Kari asked.
A smile came over the face of Leomon as he dragged two bodies out of the water and placed them onto the surface. The bodies belonged to Tai and Agumon.
The Digi-Destined cheered at the fact that their leader was all right. Kari was glad to see that her big brother was able to make it through. Sora was relieved to see Tai once again.
"Don't worry, kids," Leomon said, "They're still breathing but they are very worn out from the last battle. I've never seen such blast like that."
Suddenly, Tai started to stir and he mumbled to himself. Kari smiled and could tell that Tai was all right due to the fact that he was talking to himself while in a state of sleep.
"Yep. He's talking to himself in his sleep. He's alive after all."
"Ha! Tai talks in his sleep," TK asked, "That's pretty funny."
"Hey, I don't talk in my sleep everyday!" Tai said as his eyes started to open slowly.
His vision was trying to focus and he could see the faces of his friends all around him.
"Whoa! Did I sleep that long?"
"Alright, Tai! You made it through!" Sora said as she hugged Tai.
Tai gagged while Sora was holding onto him tightly with tears coming down her face.
"It's good to see you too, Sora."
Agumon also started to regain his senses and he looked up to see Tai. The other digimon gathered all around him.
"Agumon! That Life Bomb was just awesome!" Tentomon exclaimed, "I never seen such an attack."
"So did X teach you that one?" Gabumon asked.
"Yeah. I've used the life force from my surroundings. That included the plants, the trees, the digimon, and each one of you guys. It was enough to clobber that maniac."
"Yeah and you made cat food out of Burizalor!" Gatomon said, "no doubt that you finished him off."
"I didn't finish him. We got the job done. We worked together as a team, something that Burizalor will never have."
"We sure kicked a lot of tail, buddy," Tai said, "I don't think we'll ever see a creep like Burizalor ever again. We nailed the final nail in his coffin."
X was jumping for joy after witnessing the battle's end. He had confidence in their ability and he was quite proud of their greatest accomplishment.
"They've done it! Tai and War Greymon have defeated Burizalor. They've defeated Burizalor! Oh hell yeah! They've defeated Burizalor! It's a dream come true!"
"They did it?" asked Centaurumon. "I can't believe it."
"Believe it, my friend," Piximon replied. "They've saved the entire digital universe."
"Wow, that would them the strongest team ever assembled," Andromon stated.
"Yeah, that's Tai and War Greymon for you," said Keke. "It's too bad Matt wasn't here to see it."
"I know. I'm sure he was quite happy to see that ass perish," X stated. "Tai. You've done it my friend. Soon, the truth about the future will soon come into being. What I want you to do is to take good care of Sora, Tai. Please, do that for me."
Tai slowly attempted to get to his feet but he fell over. His body was aching bad from the intense beating he was receiving, since he and Agumon were connected during the fight.
Agumon couldn't even move a muscle and lay onto the ground. He could see stars and his eyes were glazed over.
"Well, you sure can't even stand up on your own two feet," Sora said, "looks like this will require a lady's touch."
Sora helped Tai up and placed his arm over her shoulder. The other children laughed at what is transpiring. Tai was being helped to his feet by Sora. Biyomon went over to Agumon and helped him to his feet.
"Don't worry, we'll get you two all better," Biyomon said, "just a little treatment from Nurse Biyomon to fix you right up."
"Just don't have any needles involved. I just hate needles."
Everybody laughed at Agumon's comment until Gabumon stopped laughing.
"If only Matt were here to laugh with us. It just doesn't feel complete without him," Gabumon said.
"You're right," TK replied, "but he wants us to laugh. He's proud over the fact that we beat Burizalor. We saved the Digital World!"
"Yeah and that means ya'll might have to get back home," Patamon said.
Suddenly, everything went silent. The Digi-Destined didn't plan to go home so early. But it has been a few days in the Digital World, while it has been hours and minutes in the real world.
"You know. I was thinking. We should take a rest before we leave. We deserve it after beating Burizalor," Tai said, "then once Agumon and I recover, we can head on over to find someplace where it can send us back home."
"But, you couldn't leave? Can't we come?" Agumon asked, "I couldn't live if you weren't around to hang out with me."
"I know, but our families might be getting worried. We have been gone for quite some time now."
"But for now. Just think about getting some rest," Sora said, "we'll be heading out to find a portal back home later. What do you say guys?"
The other Digi-Destined all nodded in agreement. They would finally be returning back home. They had just saved the Digital World from perhaps the most evil force that has ever existed. But now the terror known as Burizalor has been laid to rest forever.
Tai could remember all the good moments during the whole battle. From the whole opening warm up fight until the final Terra Force that sent the monster to limbo where he belongs.
"Agumon?"
"Yeah?"
"That was really awesome at what you did. That Life Bomb rocked! You da 'mon."
"Awww, I was just holding back."
"Yeah right."
Sora and Biyomon giggled at their remarks towards each other. Leomon looked out to the sunset with his arms crossed. TK and Patamon walked up to him.
"Mr. Leomon?"
"Just call me, Leomon. What is it?"
"Well I was just wondering if you knew some sort of portal that could led us back home."
"A gateway from here to earth? Yes, I actually do know a place."
"Where?"
Leomon pointed over to the ocean and towards a familiar island with a tall mountain. TK could easily tell what it was. It was Infinity Mountain.
"You mean there's a portal that will lead us back home there?"
"Yes. All we need to do is get some form of transportation over to the island."
"That's easy. We can get Gomamon to do that for us."
"Huh? Somebody called my name?"
"Yeah. Leomon knows a place where it will take us back home."
"Where TK?" asked Izzy, "Is there any particular place where we can find it?"
"We don't have to look any further. Leomon says that there's a place over at Infinity Mountain. It's just a couple of miles away from us."
The boy pointed out to sea and to the Digi-Destined's surprise, there was Infinity Mountain standing tall.
"Well what do you know, it's been right there all along," said Sora, "But the question is, how will we get over there."
"No problem, Gomamon can do that for us," Joe said, "I get what you mean TK. We can use Ikkakumon to cross over the ocean and over to Infinity Mountain."
"Wow, you managed to get that all correct all of a sudden," Gomamon sarcastically said.
"Alright then. Are you up for it?"
"Am I up for it? This is like taking candy from a digi baby!"
"Then time to digivolve!"
Joe's digivice activated and it gave Gomamon the ability to digivolve into his champion level form.
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon!"
Ikkakumon jumps into the water and floats as if he were a boat. He turned towards the others and waited for them to get on his back.
"All board!"
"Alright guys. You heard the Ikkaku-Express!" Joe said, "This way we will get to File Island a lot quicker."
The Digi-Destined nodded and got onto Ikkakumon's back. Sora and Biymon carried Tai and Agumon over and laid them down. Sora made sure everybody was on and gave a thumbs up to Joe.
"Alright Ikkakumon! Onto File Island we go!"
"Ow! Don't scream in my ear. I can hear you well."
Ikkakumon started towards File Island. The Digi-Destined looked on as they were getting closer and closer to the first part of the Digital World that they have visited, File Island.
"See, Kari. That's File Island. That's where we first met our digimon and arrived in the Digital World," TK said.
"Wow. It's so pretty. And that's where Angemon first digivolved huh?"
"He and Devimon fought and I thought I lost Patamon for sure. But he came back and I knew he always be with me. No matter what happens."
"That's right," Patamon replied, "we're more than just partners. We survived through many hard confrontations but we came through with it in one full swoop."
"Yeah, we took care of another piece of scum. I'm so glad Burizalor is gone. Now the Digital World will be safe at last.
"Make that the entire digital universe," replied Izzy.
Izzy typed away at his laptop and began to pick up some readings from File Island. Suddenly, he saw some pinpoint flashing around the middle section of the island.
"Whoa, wait a minute! What is this pinpoint on the map?"
"Why don't we try to find out what it is?" Tentomon said.
Izzy clicked on the pinpoint and began to run an analysis over it. To his surprise, a small screen appears and it shows an area that Izzy was very familiar with.
"Hey. I remember this area. This was the lake where we battled Seadramon during our first parts of our adventure on File Island. That's where Gabumon first digivolved to Garurumon."
"So, what's so significant about it?"
"That trolley car. According to these calculations, it is a way to get back home."
The others turned towards Izzy's direction and heard the word home. They all crowded around him.
"What did you find out?" asked Mimi, "A way back home?"
"Yeah, I think this trolley car leads through a portal that will eventually take us home."
"But there's just one problem," Leomon said, "It's not functional. We'll need to find a source of electrical power to activate it."
"No problem. I can handle that. Just leave that to me," Tentomon said.
"Good idea since your attacks are electrically based," Izzy said, "It will only be a matter of time before we get home."
The Digi-Destined were happy and relieved to returning back to their home. They have been through several days of living hell battling against Burizalor's forces. But now, they have defeated the evil warlord and are ready to see their families once again.
"Everybody get ready to get off the Ikkaku-Express. We're not too far away."
Ikkakumon swam towards an open shore and parked as if he were a boat.
"Great work, Ikkakumon," said Joe.
"Ok. If I can remember correctly," Izzy said, "The direction towards the lake area was this way."
Izzy pointed to the left and a smile came over his face.
"Yep. I was right. Let's go."
The others followed Izzy's direction as he began to lead them through the hot forest.
"Ugh. I can remember walking through here. I just hate sweating," Mimi whined.
"Look on the bright side, you're almost on your way home to a nice comfy bed," Palmon said.
Sora and Joe were there to help Tai to his feet and to prevent him from falling over. Biyomon and Gabumon carried Agumon.
"Oh boy! Agumon, you need to cut down on those snacks you had before the fight!" Biyomon said.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault that I needed a meal before we got here."
"Cut don't cut the cheese," Gabumon said.
"Ha. Ha."
Tai was slowly coming to his senses and looked at his surroundings.
"Hey I remember this place. We're back on FileIsland? Why? What the heck is going on?"
Tai turned to see Joe and Sora helping him by walking.
"My whole body is aching. I'm going to need to a weeks worth of sleep when I get back home. No soccer for a week at least. Boy, I need the rest."
Leomon used his sword to cut through the forest to make it easier for them to cross through.
Izzy looked onto his monitor and looked ahead.
"We're almost there you guys. Just hang in there."
They managed to push and cut through brushes and branches that got in their way. As soon as they pushed through a last thick brush, there was a large lake ahead of them. And in the middle of the lake was a crosswalk that leads up to the trolley cart.
"There it is! We've made it," Izzy said, "Alright. We got part one of this operation completed. Now time for part two."
The Digi-Destined headed on over towards the trolley car and they could remember some really good memories.
Tai looked around his surroundings. He would remember this area very well.
"Hey, I remember this place. This was where we fought Seadramon in one of our first battles. Yeah and I remember when Gabumon first digivolved into Garurumon. That was sure a scene. But I'm just surprised to how much our digimon has progressed as far as power and techniques go. We really improved and now we've managed to beat the most powerful force in the Digital World and perhaps our toughest foe to date. Well, it's going to be great going back home. I'm sure our folks are getting worried sick about us."
Sora and Joe laid Tai on the ground, while Gabumon and Biyomon laid Agumon on the ground.
"You okay, Tai?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. Thanks."
"Ok since you two can talk by yourselves. I'll go over and help with Izzy with the trolley car."
"Ok Joe."
Joe walks off to go help with Izzy and the others with the trolley car.
Sora lays next to Tai. Tai turned his head and faced her.
"Wake up there, lazy bum."
"Sora. Thanks."
"No problem, Tai. I thought we lost you there. You had us worried."
"I'm sorry for worrying ya'll too much. I didn't think Agumon and I would make it out."
"Well you both did and I'm glad. I can't lose you, Tai."
"Sora?"
"Yeah?"
"Heh nothing. I'm just glad to see you."
"Me too."
They faced each other and their eyes locked towards one another. Tai placed his hand over on Sora's. She seemingly blushed and sat closer to Tai.
"Tai..."
"Yeah?"
Sora came closer to Tai. The two leaned against one another and were about to exchange a kiss. Sora has been waiting to do this for a very long time. Tai wasn't expecting this from his best friend, but he went along with it. But as soon as they were about to lock lips with one another, Kari ran up to them.
"You guys! We're about to go home in just a matter of minutes!"
Tai and Sora sighed in disbelief. They're little intercourse was interrupted by Kari. Tai nodded his head and slowly got to his feet. This time around, he was able to walk upright by himself. Sora was there to help him up in case he collapsed.
"Damn! I was so close," Tai said to himself.
"There's always next time, Taichi," Sora thought to herself as she giggled.
"Hurry! We got everything ready," Izzy exclaimed, "all we need to do is have Tentomon digivolve into Kabuterimon and give this baby a boost so that we will return back home."
"Great. Lets give it a shot," Tai said.
"You heard him, Tentomon."
"Hey, I heard you. No rush! No rush!"
Izzy's digivolve glew and gave Tentomon the power to digivolve into his champion level form.
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"
"Alright guys! Line up and all aboard!" Kabuterimon said, "I'm going to give this baby a boost that she needs!"
The kids and the digimon got inside the trolley car. Leomon didn't go in with them.
"Hey Leomon, why aren't you coming?" TK asked.
"I must stay here to protect the Digital World from any evil forces that attempt to destroy it. You have your own world to return to. This is my home. Thank you for everything Digi-Destined. Our thanks go out to each and every one of you."
"What about the Digital Cores? Shouldn't there be any new ones?" Izzy asked.
"No. It will take a very long time for new ones to appear. Plus with none of the four Holy Beasts around, it is impossible. However, we will find something that will revive the old Digital Cores. We'll do our part from here. You already have taken care of the virus that is Burizalor."
"Good luck," Tai said, "I just hope the Digital World gets restored to the way it was."
"It's going to take some time, but we will try to restore it."
Joe looked around and couldn't find his digimon partner.
"Hey has anyone seen Gomamon?"
They all nodded their heads and Joe started to panic. He ran out of the trolley car and looked around. To his surprise, he found Gomamon floating in the lake as if he were taking a vacation already.
"Gomamon! What are you doing! We have to go now!"
"Hey! Hold your digi-horses! I had to get my little beauty sleep."
Gomamon swam on over to shore and climbs onto Joe's Head.
"Geez. You couldn't been a little more patient."
"Patient? We are going back home and all you can do is swim and relax?"
"Hey a digimon has to have a nice relaxing bath now and then."
"Ugh. Ok. So are we ready guys?"
They all nodded their heads. Izzy turned to face Kabuterimon.
"Let it rip!"
"Shield your eyes everyone! You might get a case of blindness if your eyes get too exposed. Electro Shocker!"
Kabuterimon shot out a ball of electrical energy and sends it at the trolley car's antennae. They all waited for the trolley car to activate. Slowly, it started to charge up and it was running by electrical fuel.
"Prodigious! It worked! All right everyone! We're ready to go home!" Izzy exclaimed.
The children cheered happily as the trolley cart started to move. It was now hovering from the ground and the kids looked up to see a portal opening up in the sun.
"Wait a minute! Nobody ever said that the portal is directly in the sun," exclaimed Joe, "We're all going to fry for sure!"
"Just don't think about it. Just think about returning home safely," Mimi said, "The sun isn't going to hurt us as long as he won't think about it. Think happy thoughts."
"You're right."
Soon, they trolley cart was heading towards the portal. As they got even closer, they suddenly stopped and felt something holding onto the trolley cart.
"Why did we stop?" Sora asked.
Suddenly, the trolley cart was carried off back to where it came from. The kids landed hard as the trolley cart was shut down from the impact.
"No! What happened?" Izzy exclaimed, "We were so close!"
The kids each got out of the trolley cart and all laid onto the sandy ground to avoid getting crushed inside.
"No! Now how will we get home!" TK asked.
"Looks like somebody didn't want us to leave so soon," Kari said.
Joe looked up and an expression of fear came over his face. He couldn't believe at what he saw. The others questioned him and soon they all turned to Joe's direction and looked up to see what Joe was looking at. Soon, all of their faces turned into horrified expressions.
On top of the trolley cart, there was a huge figure. It was a familiar figure. He looked pretty scarred up, but it was none other than Burizalor. The evil monster looked down at the children with a enraged look. Then his frown turned into a cruel smile.
"It can't be!" Tai said.
"No! He died! We used that Life Bomb! He couldn't have survived it!" Agumon exclaimed.
"How can he still be living?" Leomon said as he balled his fists up.
"Mommy. Daddy. Matt," TK muttered.
The whole scene started to turn dark, even the skies were turning a dark red color. This environment easily indicated Burizalor's inner rage. He pointed his finger towards the children. His smile got even bigger and a beam shot out from his finger. It was being directed towards one of the children. To his horror, Tai saw the beam coming towards him.
"Taichi!" Leomon exclaimed as he ran and pushed Tai aside.
However, his fate would be a fatal one as the beam penetrated right through the chest of Leomon. Leomon cried out in pain as Burizalor kept the beam right on him.
"No! Leomon!" Tai exclaimed as he went to help him but the others restrained him.
Leomon fell to the ground with a hole in his chest. Blood came spilling out from his wound and he had lost total consciousness.
"Leomon. No. Leomon. This can't be happening," TK cried.
"That monster..." Patamon said while crying at TK's side.
"How could he!" Mimi said to herself.
"What a cold-hearted monster!" thought Joe.
"Leomon..." Kari wept.
Gatomon stayed at her side and turned to face Burizalor with an angry look.
"No! I can't be!" X said in horror. "How could he?"
"What is it now, X?" Piximon asked. "What happened?"
"Please, do not keep us in suspense!" exclaimed Centaurumon.
"It's him. He's alive, isn't he?" Keke asked.
"Yes! He's alive! Burizalor has survived the Life Bomb! He just took out Leomon."
"What!"
"But, I thought the Life Bomb was supposed to have done that monster in!" Andromon stated.
"I underestimated Burizalor's resiliency," X replied. "He's a formidable creature. Now, he's even more horrible than I've ever imagined. Tai. You've got to stop him!"
The psychotic madman had barely survived and his primary target had been Tai. Though, he was still quite pleased to get a shot in at his long-time nemesis, Leomon. It was Leomon who sacrificed himself to save Taichi from certain death.
"Leomon. He saved my life," Tai said, "Burizalor..."
Now the young boy was holding rage within while clenching his fists and teeth.
"That Life Bomb actually did damage to me. I nearly died in that explosion," Burizalor said, "But now I have come back to kill you all! You're not going back home. You will all die by my hand. Yes eight children to be killed in one full swoop! Now, to take care of these crests."
Burizalor held his hands up and watched as the crests started to come to him. The children watched as their crests and tags were taken away. They attempted to snatch them back but Burizalor was able to catch them all with ease.
"No! Our crests and tags!" Sora cried, "No!"
Burizalor crushed them with his hands and watched as digi particles started coming out. The crests and tags that the children had worked so hard to find and achieve were all destroyed in a matter of seconds. The digimon's chances of evolving into their higher forms were now slim to none.
"You bastard!" Tai said, "Guys! Listen up! You all got a chance to get out of here with that trolley cart. Just leave here as soon as possible. Well what the hell are you guys waiting for!"
The others watched as Tai was losing control and giving them a death glare. His eyes were full of rage.
"I'm not going!" TK said, "I wouldn't leave you! I'll be here to help!"
"Dammit TK! Your crest is gone! Even if Angemon fights, he won't be able to beat this creep! Do you want to lose him, again! Huh!"
"No, but we can't leave you."
"TK is right! We're here to fight with you! We're the Digi-Destined after all!" Sora said.
"Sora! Do me a favor and shut up! I'm not going to let you get killed! You get the others away from here now! Protect my sister and get the hell out of here! Now! I said go!"
Sora has never seen Tai this angry before. It seemed as though he was coming a different person and it scared her to death. He seemed possessed and whatever rage he felt, Agumon could feel the same thing.
"Well if you think your friends will escape me, Taichi. You are sadly mistaken, my friend."
Burizalor pointed his finger towards the children and it looked like he was pointing to Tai but as soon as he shot out his deadly beam, it went straight towards Sora.
Everything seemed to turn into slow motion and the beam was coming right for Sora. Tai watched in horror and went to push Sora aside. But as soon as he reached out to her, the beam went right through her chest and through her heart. Tai's eyes widened in fear and shock at what he just witnessed.
Sora fell limp to the ground and her eyes became glazed over. Tai ran to her side and held her in his arms.
"Sora. No. This can't be happening..."
Tai's eyes started to water down in tears. He lost Matt and now he lost his best friend, Sora. Burizalor has taken away two of the most important people of the group.
"Sora..." Biymon cried, "Oh my goddramon. No. SORA!"
X fell backwards with a horrified expression. There were drops of tears coming down from his eyes. Now, he had witnessed Sora meet her demise.
"Now, what happened!" Centaurumon asked.
"X? What is it?" said Keke. "Don't tell me..."
"Yeah. Sora's gone. Burizalor has done it. That bastard is going to die..."
"Yes. I have a feeling the legend will come into realization..."
"Arise, legendary warrior..."
Tai looked back at the moments when Sora mentioned the power of love.
"You know something that I found that my mom loves me very much."
"And it was your crest that helped me digivolve, Sora."
"Yeah. I'm glad."
"I felt something like love too, but I couldn't make out to what it was."
Tai could remember that very well from the time Sora's Crest of Love unleashed its power from Sora's own love. He had wanted to tell her that since arriving in the Digital World. Since then, they have gotten a lot closer and became more than just friends. He shared the same kind of love for Sora and now his only love had been taken away from him. Burizalor has killed his one true friend.
"Ha! Ha! What's the matter? Did we lose something," Burizalor laughed cruelly as a way to taunt Tai.

Suddenly, Tai started to shake with total rage and he clenched his digivice. Agumon watched Biyomon crying at Sora's body. He turned to face Burizalor and his eyes turned a different color, a more darker and redder color. He felt the same kind of rage that Tai was feeling.
"Burizalor. I won't let you get away with this. No more. You have caused too much pain already! I've had it with you. NO MORE! I said, NO MORE YOU NO GOOD BASTARD!"
Tai dropped his digivice and it shattered into pieces. The other children watched in horror as Tai's body started to glow a red color. Then Agumon was glowing as well. The ground started to shake around them and a barrier formed around them. Burizalor watched in horror to what was transpiring.
"I won't let you kill anymore innocent souls," Tai said, "You hear me! NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Tai let out a raging, blood curling scream, as did Agumon. The ground started to shake around them and the barrier got even bigger. It looked as though they were about to transform as they were being pulled against one another.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
Burizalor continued to watch in horror at what was transpiring. He has never seen something like this before. Then when he heard the word Fusion, he gasped in total horror and stood back shaking. The legend was true after all! It was true!
"WE WON'T ALLOW YOU TO DESTROY BOTH WORLDS! YOUR END HAS COME!"
Tai and Agumon fused as a red energy force surrounded them. Agumon evolved through all of his evolutions until his body became human-like. His War Greymon head became that of a human's helmet with the symbol of courage on the forehead. His eyes were similar to those of War Greymon's, but were purely green. His clawed limbs gave away to fore arms and fists. His brave shield evolved into smaller set of armor. Tai was pulled inside of him.
"Agumon fusion evolve! OMEGA X!"
As the smoke cleared away, the newest form of Agumon stood in front of Burizalor. The other children couldn't believe their own eyes. Agumon and Tai had fused into the legendary warrior. Burizalor couldn't believe at what he was seeing.
Omega X turned to face the children. His voice became much deeper and man-like. His child-like distinctions were now gone. His frame of mind still seemed to be within the warrior. He turned and faced his comrades.
"TK! Kari! You all need to use the trolley cart and get away from here as soon as possible! Take Leomon away from here! Now! We'll take this creep from here."
TK and Kari nodded in agreement. Kabuterimon carried Leomon off as the children followd him back to the trolley cart.
Omega X turned to face Burizalor. His eyes were full of rage, hatred and vengeance against Burizalor. Burizalor was visibly shaking and attempting to turn away. The legendary warrior is true after all.
(The English DBZ SSJ Goku Transformation ends)
"Who is that!" Keke asked.
"It's the legend. This is the digimon warrior that will bring down the tyrant. The prophecy has come into realization. The most powerful being in the digital universe is the very two guys I've helped train," X stated. "You've done it my friends. Keke. I introduce to you to Omega X. He is the legendary warrior of courage."
"Kick his ass!" Keke exclaimed. "Put that bastard in his place!"
The dust started to settle on the ground as a staredown took place. The newly digivolved Omega X was glowing a red aura around him. He had a possessed look on his face and couldn't keep his glare away from Burizalor. He stood tall and human-like. It required the fused powers of Agumon and Tai to create Omega X.
Burizalor took a look at Omega X and he started to shake with fear. He couldn't his very eyes. He has never seen such an evolution such as this.
"What? I thought digimon could only reach to a mega level. This is totally different from anything I have seen. Damn, what does this mean? This is completely different."
Omega X kept his attention on his adversary like a predator watching his prey. The children were amazed at the appearance of Omega X. Kari and TK were amazed the most. They witnessed the very first fusion ever.
"Ok guys. It's time. You all better get away from here. Take Leomon and Sora's bodies away from here. Get to the trolley cart and get away from here as soon as possible."
"But what about you?"
"Don't worry TK. I know where I have to be. This is my fight. This creep needs to pay for the horrible sins he has committed."
"Yeah but if you stay here any longer. You might end up getting hurt. You'll need our help."
"Kari! I'm your older brother. Now listen, you and the others better get away from here! You do as I say! Now leave!"
Kari gasped at the way her brother scolded at her. But she knew that he and Agumon were working together as their newly evolved fusion form. She nodded in agreement.
"Whatever you say, Tai. Just don't go dying on us, alright?"
"I can promise you that. Thanks."
Kari and TK headed over to the others telling them to get away from the battlefield as soon as possible. Kabuterimon picked up Leomon's body, while Izzy and Joe went over to pick up Sora's limp body.
"We'll get away as far as we can," TK said, "Beat this guy for us."
"We're counting on you big brother! You too Agumon," shouted Kari.
Omega X nodded in agreement and watched his friends get away from the battlefield to get back to the trolley cart.
"Ha! Ha! An amusing way to make a get away! I decide who should leave," Burizalor said as he pointed towards the other children.
A shocked look came over the face of Omega X. As Burizalor was about to shoot out a beam towards the children, Omega X quickly phased out and reappeared in front of Burizalor. Omega X raises his fist back and punches Burizalor right in the face. Burizalor goes flying back but he stops himself. Omega X flew right at him and nails him with a elbow shot to the gut. Burizalor goes flying back and was about to crash through a nearby mountain. Burizalor was able to stop himself.
"Grr! You dare take advantage over me! Now you will die!"
But as soon as Burizalor held his hand back, he felt something grab him. Burizalor turned to see Omega X already behind him and grabbing his wrist. Now it seemed as though Omega X has gotten a lot faster.
"You just don't know when to stop Burizalor. Can't you see that you are hurting others? What have they done to you?"
Burizalor pulled away and faced Omega X with an angry expression on his face.
"What do you mean? I choose to kill because I want to! Nobody has authority over my actions! Not even you!"
"Alright then, Burizalor. We'll play by your rules. You leave me no choice. If you won't change your ways, then I'll just have to beat you to a bloody pulp until you say uncle."
"Ha! You sure are a damned fool. Oh sure, you transformed into something out of this world, but you are not a match for me!"
Burizalor goes flying right at Omega X and starts punching him, but Omega X quickly maneuvers away from each punch being thrown at him. Omega X grabs Burizalor by his hands and starts to crush them.
"First Matt. Then Leomon. Now even my best friend, Sora!"
Burizalor was struggling under the grip of Omega X. He continued to use his strength in attempt to crush Burizalor's hands.
"You don't even a damn. I can easily tell. Their lives mean absolutely nothing to you. You're not even at least a bit sorry. All you can even think about is a way to kill me!"
Burizalor powered up and let out a aura of powerful energy and attempted to push away Omega X but it was no use. Burizalor freed himself and punched Omega X in the chest. But as his fist connected with Omega X's chest, it had no effect. Omega X simply smiled and Burizalor goes walking backwards with a horrified look on his face.
"No don't tell me. No! It's true! The legendary warrior is real. You're the one. Aren't you!"
Omega X simply stood there with a big smile on his face and he was starting to glow.
Meanwhile, the other children were getting away as far as possible. They all got inside the trolley cart. However, there was one small problem. It can't be activated. After all, Burizalor had trashed it.
"What? The trolley cart isn't able to be activated, not even from electrical energy," exclaimed Izzy.
"No, it's trashed. We're going to have to find some other form of transportation to get you guys back home," Kabuterimon said.
Kari turned towards the direction where Burizalor and Omega X were battling. Gatomon walked up to her.
"Don't worry, Kari. Tai and Agumon have this whole thing under control. They're going to make Burizalor as their own scratching post."
"I'm just worried about Tai. I hope he and Agumon make it through."
"They will. Don't worry about them. Lets worry how to get you guys back home."
"Right. But what other way can we get home?"
"Great. We're trapped here forever," Joe cried, "Now we lost Sora. Leomon is in bad condition. What else is going to happen next!"
TK stood around and looked over Leomon with Patamon. A thought came to his mind. Why should he be standing around here if he can go help Tai?
"Tai. I hope give Burizalor the beating that he deserves. He killed my brother and now he kills Sora. Make him pay."
Burizalor was visibly shaken with fear as he faced off against Omega X. What amazed him the most was the fact that he has gained super speed and powerful energy since his recent evolution. It looked as though his power has surpassed that of any normal mega.
"No more, Burizalor. No more torture. No more pain. No more killing. Now, you will feel our wrath, BURIZALOR!"
(Metallica's "Master of Puppets" plays during battle scene)
Omega X flew right at Burizalor within a flash of a light and he drills Burizalor right in the face with a right cross. Burizalor goes flying back. Omega X goes flying right at Burizalor and delivers an elbow shot into his gut. Burizalor goes falling down. Burizalor stops himself and looks up. To his surprise, Omega X was gone. He turned around and shot out a beam. He had shot nothing but air.
"Stop toying with me!"
Burizalor turns to find Omega X flying right at him. He nails an elbow shot to the chin of Burizalor. Omega X then uppercuts the evil tyrant causing him to go flying up. Omega X flies up and follows him up. Omega X spins into a tornado and drills himself into Burizalor's chest. Burizalor goes flying back and crashing into a nearby mountain.
Omega X looked down at the fallen pile of rubble. He waited for Burizalor came out of the ground and attempt to use another form of sneak attack. But that wasn't the case. Omega X waited patiently while buying his time wisely.
The ground started to shake and the pile of rubble exploded. Burizalor comes popping out as he hovered up to meet up with Burizalor. He has an angry look on his face and began to form a smile across his face.
"Why do you loathe everything that I have done? You brainless brute, you need to realize that you're just as blood thirsty as I am. You can fake all of this hero crap if you want to, but I know you're hiding the fact that you plan to surpass me in power. You want this whole Digital World to yourself. Well, am I right?"
"Maybe, but it really doesn't matter now. Because you'll be dead once we get back to the other world."
"Oh is that so? Well I hope you can live up to those guarantees. Because I'm not just going to stand here and let you attack me. You're going to have to fight me to do so! Then, we shall see who the most dominant force of the Digital World really is!"
All Omega X could do instead of responding was giving off a smirk.
"Well the jury is out on that, huh? Well…"
Burizalor looks towards a cloud of smoke and flies right through it to get to the other side in attempt to get away from Omega X. But as soon as he got to the other side, Omega X followed him up and was still smiling. Burizalor screamed in rage as he blasted a huge energy beam at Omega X and started firing more blasts at him. Now there seemed to be a sort of invisible barrier around Omega X that was blocking out all of the beams that were being fired. Then Burizalor delivers a last beam and watches it hit and explode. Burizalor started to catch his breath and watched as the explosion stopped and the smoke started to clear away. He watched to see if he was able to hit Omega X.
As the smoke cleared, Burizalor's eyes widened in fear. He saw Omega X without a single scratch on him. This infuriated the evil tyrant even more as he started to clench his fists. His body started to glow a purple aura color as he held his hands out. A ball of energy formed in his hands and it got bigger while Burizalor's rage started to increase. Omega X stood there as if he wasn't even worried a bit at all. His smile faded away as Burizalor pulled his hands forward and let out a huge energy blast. A large explosion occurred, however, Burizalor wasn't finished from there just yet. He formed several fiery energy balls and threw them over at the cloud of smoke that surrounded Omega X. This was one of his last attempts at ending the fight once and for all.
Burizalor started to catch his breath and he smiled over the fact that he may have finally defeated his adversary once and for all. Not even the strongest digimon would have been able to survive this onslaught attack. However, to Burizalor's surprise, the smoke started to clear away and Omega X was still levitating without any scratches on him.
"What! Thats not possible! How in the hell can you survive that! Damn you!"
Omega X got into a fighting stance, which got Burizalor ready to go but Omega X faded out. Burizalor gasps in fear at what he saw and turns around to see Omega X right behind him. Burizalor goes flying right at Omega X and goes for a right hand punch. Omega X ducks under and punches Burizalor right in the gut. Burizalor gasps after getting punched in the gut and he goes flying back. Omega X goes flying right at him and hammers away at Burizalor. Omega X elbows Burizalor right in the face and sends him flying down into another mountain. However, this time, Burizalor was able to stop himself and he landed right on top of the mountain.
("Master of Puppets" ends)
"Take this hot shot!"
Burizalor points his fingers at Omega X and desperately starts firing away several deadly beams at him. Omega X was able to dodge each and every one of them by quickly phasing out. Burizalor continued firing away at Omega X until his adversary disappeared from sight.
Burizalor searched around his surroundings as sweat came dripping down his face. He had never fought such an excellent fighter such as Omega X. This was a rare occurrence indeed. Omega X appears right above him with a smile on his face. Burizalor screams with rage and lighting starts forming all over his body. He points out and starts firing more desperate blasts at Omega X. As soon as he stopped, he saw Omega X unscathed. There wasn't a single scratch on his body. This infuriated Burizalor even more.
Omega X held up his hand and gave Burizalor a 'Just Bring It' signal. Burizalor smiled and shot out a deadly beam from his finger and watched it go straight at Omega X. This time he was at close range. But even that wasn't enough. Omega X dodged out of the way. This sent shock towards Burizalor.
"But! How! How is he able to dodge that attack at a close range!"
Burizalor starts firing more finger blasts but Omega X was able to dodge them with ease. Burizalor tried to phase in front of Omega X to shoot more finger blasts but even that was no use. Omega X was dodging everything that was being thrown at him. It looked as though Omega X wasn't even trying and just toying with the evil tyrant.
Both of them flew up at the same level and they faced each other off. Burizalor was able to catch up to Omega X. His face became enraged and he looked like he wanted to really kill Omega X for doing this to him and making him look like the pitiful fool that he truly was.
"Hey! Why can't I hit you! Just tell me, damn you! And you better come up with a good excuse!"
Omega X hovered there while facing off Burizalor. Nothing had come to mind for him to fully explain his motives. He smiled and could come up with the only thing that came to mind.
"Why don't you just shoot me, then?"
"Shoot you? Fine! You shall regret that! Take this, you cocky bastard!"
Burizalor shoot out another finger blast and this time, it was able to connect and it nailed Omega X right in the head. Omega X's head tilted backwards.
"Gotcha!"
However, the mad man's celebration was short-lived as Omega X pulled his head back. Burizalor was trembling. He couldn't believe what he saw.
"But how! That's not possible!"
"You can destroy dimensions and digital planets, but you can't even kill a single warrior like myself?"
"Wh-Wha-What are you!"
"I think you know who we already are. We are the two most powerful beings to possess the powers of courage. We were formerly Taichi Kamiya and Agumon. We are peaceful warriors that had our rage being awakened as a result of your evil and cold-blooded acts. Our fury shall not be extinguished! I am the legendary fusion warrior."
A nearby volcano starts to erupt as smoke started to come their way. Burizalor was terrified and couldn't take his eyes off of his powerful adversary.
"We are Omega X! The Legendary Fused Warrior of Courage!"
Burizalor gasped and started to turn away but he was stunned to even get away.
With rage and anger inside of him, Tai and Agumon have made the first fusion, a legend that was said to been secret for many. It has been many digital cycles. But now Tai and Agumon have harnessed the power after seeing Sora losing her life. Now Omega X prepares to punish Burizalor! Can their combined powers be able to end the evil reign of Burizalor?

Zeomon and Coral stand yards away from one another. They breathed heavily to themselves.
Zeomon: You're better than I thought. How about another taste of my Nova Star?
Coral: Ha. Don't sing it, bring it.
Zeomon jumps up and phases out. Coral is caught off guard and turns to find Zeomon shooting out his Nova Star. Coral summons her sword and manages to push it back. Zeomon jumps up. Ryo comes walking in and gets nailed by the Nova Star blast.
Ryo: Damn! Not again!
Coral: At least, I got something from that.

Zeomon prepares to make his next move on the teenage saiyan girl. Coral puts her guard up.
Zeomon: Keep you're eyes on me, woman!
Coral: Woman! I'm not even a year from being 17 yet! Nobody calls me a woman!
Max: Shit. Never piss off an anime girl. It will just lead to even more destruction.
Coral: Alright, dude! I'm finishing this! Ready?
Coral phases out and appears above Zeomon. She summons forth a dragon-like ki blast and fires it down at Zeomon.
Coral: Dragonite Inferno!
The fiery blast showers down over Zeomon. Coral looks over and sees that Zeomon had phased away in time.
Coral: Damn, you're good. I haven't had a good work out in ages.
Zeomon: Same to you.
Coral: SSJ4T didn't create me to be a weakling. I was made to kick ass.
Zeomon: Same here.
Coral: What's your secret identity? You can't hide under that helmet forever.
Zeomon: You'll know soon enough. We'll postpone this fight until next time.
Coral: I'll be waiting.
Zeomon walks off down the aisle calmly, while the audience looks on in stunned silence. Coral straps her sword.
Max: Talk about a draw. I wanted to see a winner. I guess they'll give it their all for the rematch.
Coral: I'll be ready next time. In the meantime, looks like I'll be doing some training. At least he did get rid of Ryo for us.
Max: If he got rid of Ryo for us, then he's cool in my book. I think I have an idea of who Zeomon's real identity is.

Coral: No! Now! Now! Now!
Max: The party continues until next time.

Max: This duel could go on for hours.
Coral: You're right. So while these two continue their duel, let's get on with the fic. The battle between Burizalor and Omega X continues! The heart-pounding action and excitement…Ok, I think I overdid it. I'm starting to sound like that announcer dude. Let's just get on with the fic. Enjoy.
*********************************************************************************
[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Armageddon Genocide! The Digital World's Destruction?!
Burizalor was trembling with total disbelief. His eyes were widened with total fear in them. Sweat was coming down his face and he growled angrily. Omega X stared him down without any a move.
"Bah! You're nothing! Fusion Warrior! Don't make me laugh! You're just a faker! You can't win! Don't you know who I am? I am Burizalor! The most powerful being in the digital universe and I won't let a second-rate weakling like yourself destroy my honor!"
Burizalor held his fist as it began to glow. He looked up to face Omega X.
"Yamato. He was sure that he was going to be the one to fuse with his digimon. He tried so hard to realize that goal! What a dope! Now as a result, he is dead and enjoying eternal limbo as we stand here now."
Omega X kept his eyes locked onto Burizalor and the thought of Matt getting killed was replaying over his mind.
**************************************************************************************
"Electro Shocker!"
Kabuterimon attempted to use his electrical power to activate the devastated trolley cart. He went for another electrical charge from his energy balls but they were no use.
"What's wrong, Kabuterimon?"
"My Electro Shocker doesn't seem to be powering the trolley cart up, Izzy. Were just going to have to find a another way to get you guys back home."
"Yeah, but what?"
TK sat and looked out at the sunset. Patamon was next to him and he felt two tremendous powers clashing with one another.
"Man, what a battle that was. Matt, I miss you. We went through this so far. Sora, we managed to endure this whole horror fest. I can't believe you two are gone. Now. We were all so close to getting home together."
Kari looked over to where TK was at and she sighed.
"What's wrong, Kari?" Gatomon asked.
"Its Tai. He and Agumon are out there fighting that monster, while we're here standing around. I really wish we could go out there and help him."
"Leave them. This is their fight and they choose to fight him alone."
"Huh? But they might get killed..."
"No they won't. I just have a good feeling that Burizalor is about realize his mistake, a mistake that will come back to haunt him for the rest of his life. He will realize Omega X's true power. So let them have their way with him."
"Yeah. And all we have to do is worry on how to get back home."
"Exactly, so no more worrying."
Leomon lied on the ground with a hole in his chest but he was still barely able to breath. The others were looking after him to check on his condition. Sora's body was laid right next to him. Her now glazed eyes were looking out towards where the battle was taking place, just many miles across the sunset.
**************************************************************************************
Omega X and Burizalor continued to stare each other down. Burizalor was getting angrier and angrier just by looking at his adversary. He now realizes that Omega X has now surpassed him in speed and power. He couldn't face the truth. He started to look back to when War Greymon unleashed the Life Bomb.
Flashback
Tai pulled his arms back and pushed them forward. War Greymon did the same and felt his body start to crumble after releasing the huge force of energy.
"Life Bomb!"
Suddenly, a large orange ball of energy came hurtling towards where Burizalor was hovering. Burizalor looked up and saw the Life Bomb coming right at him. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of it. He watched as it swallowed up his death ball beam.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
The Life Bomb started to push Burizalor back. Even the powerful brute strength and speed of Burizalor wasn't enough to push the energy ball back.
"THIS THING! IT'S TOO POWERFUL! NO! DAMN YOU, DIGI-DESTINED!"
The ball of energy pushed Burizalor further back into the ground. His screams were becoming increasingly blood curling like never before. Burizalor's eyes started to bulge open while he continued to scream.
"I CAN'T PUSH IT BACK! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I SWEAR THAT I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
Burizalor screamed out as he was pushed further down into the ground. Then there was a large explosion. The force of the explosion was like a small meteorite striking the surface. The force of the explosion caused shock waves to push everything back and the ground was crumbling like never before.
End of Flashback
Burizalor screamed out a blood-curling cry and his body started to shake with anger. He looked up to face Omega X, his eyes full of hatred and vengeance.
"This can't be happening to me! I am the Lord of many dimensions! How can this warrior's power rival mine? All of that time I was toying with him and beating him, his power started to rise even more! Damn it! I should have destroyed this piece of shit when I first laid eyes on him!"
Omega X just stood there and watched Burizalor shaking with rage and anger. He wasn't going to listen to his senseless babbling and chooses to end this battle right away.
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the soldiers of Planet Buriza No. 47 were still anticipating for their leader's arrival from the digital world. There was a large base, which happened to be the main headquarters. Within the base, there were a large number of soldiers and officials tracing the power levels of their leader and other armies by taking a reading from their scouters. Suddenly, a tall, green creature with armor started to speak.
"Hmmm. This is rather strange. I am not receiving any reading from any active scouters from the Digital World. No replies from the Demon Corps or even Burizalor. Their scouters are all off-line."
Then a hammerhead creature came walking in with piles of papers that had readings from the Digital World. He piled them onto the floor and looked at the computer.
"No communication feedback?! If there's no feedback, then that means they could have all been destroyed some how."
"Well I say, good riddance," a Fuugamon said, "that's right you all heard me."
A group of soldiers came running in and heard what Fuugamon had just said. Each of them had angry looks on their faces.
"What did you just say?" the green creature said, "You dare talk about our leader like that?! He gave you your job and he could kill you if you even said that."
"Burizalor killed my entire race," he said, "So I'm glad he's getting what he deserves."
As he said that, laser shots were being fired at him Fuugamon cried out in pain and turned to see the soldiers pointing their firearms at him.
"Ugh! What the hell are you guys doing?! You got a problem with my opinion?!"
"Nobody double crosses Lord Burizalor and lives. Men, exterminate this scumbag," a voice called out.
The soldiers fired away at Fuugamon like madmen and watched as Fuugamon's body was deleted and then he was completely deleted from existence.
"Now men. Take note on what happens if you happen to betray Lord Burizalor."
That voice belonged to that of a Shadramon, he had a body completely identical of a Flamedramon. But he had a insect-like face, no tail, and a colorful fiery-like wings on his back.
"Well that takes care of that annoying nuisance. Now, listen up! There are no more races anymore! There are only two types of races now. Those who serve Lord Burizalor, and those that don't serve him. Those who refuse to work with Burizalor, do not live very long. Is that clear?!"
The group of soldiers all saluted and cried out.
"Good! That's what I like to hear! Now get back to work, you lazy shits!"
Just then, there was a reading being picked up from the Digital World and it came onto screen on a surveillance map.
"Sir! I'm picking up a reading from the Digital World," the green creature said, "Wow. Take a look at that power level! That's gotta be him!"
"Heh. Heh. Good. The boss is taking care of business!"
"Hold on! There's another power level reading and it's huge too!"
"Say what?!"
"Yeah and it seems that his power is nearly as equal to that of Burizalor's. No, it's a little bigger! Burizalor's power level stands at 8,400,000. However, there's another individual with a level of 15,000,000!"
Shadramon had a shocked look on his face as sweat came down.
"Ok. I'm isolating the readings right now," the other creature said.
The computer started to overload and electrical sparks started coming out.
"Ack! Commander Shadramon! Damn, it's going to blow!"
"Damn it! The computer couldn't handle that much power! Men, get the hell out of here! Now! Now!"
The soldiers and army officials started to run out like crazy. Shadramon followed them out as the computer base blew up.
A huge explosion occurred and the armies started to run out. As a result of this, half of the base blew up.
************************************************************************************
Burizalor and Omega X continued to face each other off. Burizalor was getting angrier and angrier for every time he looks at his adversary. The sky was beginning to turn darker as a result of Burizalor's mood. It fit him quite perfectly.
"Its over, Burizalor. Your finished."
Omega X powered up and pulled his arms back.
"What the hell did you say?! Me finished?! Nobody says that to me! To hell with you!"
Omega X forms an energy ball in his hands and he looks to throw it at Burizalor. Suddenly, he felt a tremendous energy coming from Burizalor. A dark aura formed around the evil tyrant. Omega X formed a bright red aura and watched he pushed his aura of light towards Burizalor. However, Burizalor pushed his forwards as the two powers clashed with one another. Radical lighting formed after each clash. It was something not of this world and it brought tremendous energy throughout the landscape.
Burizalor and Omega X faced each other off as their energy was beginning to increase after every second passing on.
***********************************************************************************
The entire Digital World felt the effects of the two tremendous power increases. Grounds started to shatter and water began to rise as a result of the after shocks of the energy increase.
The children felt the ground shaking and turned towards where the battle was taking place.
"Man o man," Joe said, "Something is seriously going to go down over there!"
"Yeah. I never felt this much energy before. And these are just from two people. Tai and Agumon must really be enjoying their new fusion form," said Gomamon, "Man I'd kill to have power like that."
"Both of their powers have gone beyond that or any normal being in the Digital World," Gatomon said, "Its going to be hard for us to even surpass them."
"You can do it, Tai," Kari said, "You can beat this guy."
"That's right! There's no way they can lose to that creep! They're going to make him for what he has done," TK cried out.
TK turned and looked towards the area where the fight was taking place.
*************************************************************************************
Both warriors had finished powering up and Burizalor decided to take a chance to unleash another one of his most deadly attacks. He formed a black ball of energy in the palm of his hands.
"I decided to end this fast. However, it's going to be you that won't be able to make it out of here alive!"
"We'll see about that!"
Burizalor held his arms up and shot the energy ball up in the air. The ball started to slowly expand. Omega X took notice of this and thought to himself. Burizalor turned to face Omega X with a smile on his face.
"I just thought of something that just occurred to me. I found a way to defeat you."
"Huh?"
"Your power is amazing. I'm not denying that. But didn't anybody remind you that it is the smartest fighter that wins, not the strongest. Your chances of winning have now gone out the window!"
"Say what?!"
"With this energy ball that I just used, I will spread a darkness that will engulf the Digital World and destroy it in the process. It's simple but effective. I call it the Armageddon Genocide. We continue our fight from here but it will be too late to even stop my attack. Because this whole world will die in a matter of moments!"
"Taking a coward's way out? Well fine. It won't take me that long to beat you and get the hell out of here with our friends."
"No. That's where you are wrong. As you can see, you were battling me while at fifty percent of my power. Well now, its time to unload the entire arsenal! Now you will fight the one hundred percent fully powered Burizalor! You thought you had won but your chances of getting away is nonexistent! Its over for you!"
"But can your body withstand all of that stress from your tremendous power. Well I don't think it can. And in any case, we're not going to allow you to by the time for you to power up. You bastard, THIS FIGHT WILL END BECAUSE I SAY IT WILL!"
Burizalor started towards Omega X and flew right at him. Omega X did the same exact thing and flies towards Burizalor with his fists ready. The Armageddon Genocide was slowly starting to spread and darkness started to cloak the skies.
Omega X goes flying right at Burizalor and starts powering up. Burizalor stopped as he saw Omega X coming right at him. Omega X goes to punch Burizalor but misses. Burizalor twists away and goes for a kick to the face. Omega X ducks under and delivers an elbow shot into the gut of Burizalor. Burizalor goes flying back and coughing out a ton of blood.
Omega X goes flying right after Burizalor and head butts him in the chest. Burizalor goes flying back yet again. Omega X flips up and delivers yet another head butt into Burizalor. Burizalor goes flying back and gets smashed into the ground. Burizalor gets to his feet and looks up to see Omega X flying right down at him, like a falcon about to snare his prey. Burizalor jumps backward and gets kicked from behind by Omega X, who had just phased behind.
Burizalor goes flying up but is able to stop himself. Omega X goes flying right at him. This time, Burizalor was ready and goes flying right at him. The two collided with one another and a flash of light sparked at the clash. Both of them go flying back from the huge impact. Burizalor stops himself but Omega X phases behind him and kicks him in the back of the head. Burizalor goes flying down and was able to stop himself from falling yet again. Omega X went right at him with his fists ready to pound Burizalor's face. Burizalor looks up and flies up. He holds his hands out and a black wave of energy goes rushing right at Burizalor. The wave of energy sends Omega X flying back.
Burizalor takes advantage and phases in front of Omega X and starts pounding him away with fists to the face. Omega X goes flying back and tries to stop himself, but Burizalor quickly phases behind him and elbows him in the back. Omega X goes crashing down into the ground. Burizalor goes flying down and follows him. Burizalor hovers over the fallen rubble that covered Omega X and powers up two large energy balls on both palms of his hands. He points down and shoots down the two energy balls in the ground. There is an explosion as a result of this and Burizalor goes flying up to avoid the fiery explosion.
Burizalor started to breath heavily after unleashing tremendous energy to take out his foe. He looked down and began to read a power level decrease. A smile came across his face. But then his smile turned into a frown as he felt a power level starting to increase tremendously. To his surprise, Omega X comes out of the ground and shatters the rubble into pieces. A red aura surrounds him and his eyes are blazing over towards Burizalor.
"Look at you! Ha! Ha! Now you realize my potential power. You maybe stronger now, but I am still the strategist. With years of experience with past fighters, I capitalize on other people's mistakes. You made one when you attacked me head on those numerous of occasions. I exploited your weakness and look what happened as a result of it."
Omega X powered up and caused the rocks off the ground to rise. Burizalor felt his power increase and a thought came to his mind.
"Now that all the fun and games are over. It's time to get serious. You managed to fight me while I was at fifty percent of my very best. But now, I shall unleash my full one hundred percent of my true power! That's right, the true on hundred percent Burizalor! A very rare occurrence indeed! Your chances of winning have now go flying out the window. So any last requests before I kick your ass?"
Omega X took offense by Burizalor's remark and angrily powered up. The rocks floating around him shattered into digital dust. His body started to glow as a result and his eyes were glowing a crimson red.
"Good. Just like any other brainless digimon, he's taking the bait. Victory shall be mine."
**************************************************************************************
TK looked out to where the battle was taking place and watched as sparks were flying and clashing with one another. Patamon knew for a fact that those two powers belong to Burizalor and Omega X. He has never sensed such great powers from two individuals.
"What's going on, Patamon? Who's winning?"
"Omega X was winning at first, but it looks like Burizalor is taking an advantage as usual. He's no pushover."
"Oh man. I hope Tai and Agumon make it through alright."
"They will."
"I just pray Leomon makes it through."
"He took a pretty lethal shot. Let's hope for the best."
"Anything yet, Izzy?" Mimi asked.
"Negative. The trolley cart is totally useless! There's no way we can activate it with electrical energy, even from that from Kabuterimon. We're going to need something greater if we hope to make it work."
"This isn't good. We're trapped here for good," Joe said as he sat on the ground and kicked the air.
Gatomon looked up at the sky and saw a black cloud starting to engulf the light.
"What's the matter Gatomon?" Kari asked.
"The sky. It's getting pitch dark."
"Whoa. Why is that? It's coming from where the fight is taking place."
"Burizalor created it. It's his Armageddon Genocide!"
"What's that?"
"This attack will cloak an entire dimension full of darkness. After that, it will self-donate. Just think of it as a deletion program."
"If it continues to cloak the Digital World. Oh no!"
Kari went over to the other Digi-Destined and went to tell them the bad news.
"You guys! You have listen to this! It's important!" Kari cried out, "If we don't get out of here, we're in danger of getting wiped out!"
"What are you talking about, Kari? How are we in danger?" asked Izzy.
"If you stop asking questions, maybe we can explain everything to you," Gatomon said.
TK and Patamon looked over to where Kari and Gatomon were about to speak to the others.
"I wonder what the fuss is all about?" TK asked.
"Lets go see what they're talking about," replied Patamon.
The Digi-Destined gathered around to listen to what Kari and Gatomon were about to say. This would determine the fate of their lives and perhaps of the Digital World.
"Gatomon has something to say that could determine our fate if we don't act now. Gatomon."
"Ok. You guys see that dark covering in the sky?"
The group all looked up and nodded. The thick cloud was cloaking the entire sky and blocking out all sources of sunlight.
"Well the dark cloud will soon consume this whole Digital World like some sort of vacuum cleaner. This is one of Burizalor's attacks. It's called the Armageddon Genocide. If we don't get out of here as soon as possible, we will soon die. So we have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible."
"But are they still fighting?" Patamon asked.
"Yeah as far as I know. They're not going to be finished fighting," Gatomon said, "We have yet to find out what will occur. But we really need to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Ugh! If only the trolley cart wasn't destroyed, we could have been out of here just a while ago," Izzy said, "Even Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker can spark it up again."
The Digi-Destined started to grief, especially since the loss of their friend Sora. Burizalor has done them a bad hand and has stopped their momentum. It was as if he wanted them to stay and die in the Digital World, since it was his plan all along. If he succeeds, then he will easily move onto the real world and destroy it.
Suddenly, a thought came to Izzy's mind.
"Of course! Why didn't I think of this before! I'll use my laptop and I'll attempt to send a distress signal to the Holy Beasts. I still think they may be able to help us out."
"But don't you think that would be impossible? " Mimi asked, "They're sealed away, remember?"
"We won't find out unless we try to reach them," Izzy said.
Izzy typed away at some codes on his laptop and looked onto a surveillance map of the entire Digital World. Gennai gave Izzy this after he modified his laptop for Izzy. Izzy downloaded several tracers in order to find the location of the Holy Beasts.
"Ok guys. I think I may have found their location," Izzy said, "Keep your fingers crossed.
The children crossed their fingers as Izzy looked at the surveillance map. The tracers were beginning to pick up something. After a few moments of searching, there were four pinpoints on the map. Smiles came across the faces of the children.
"Prodigious! Now we will be able to find the location of the closest Holy Beasts that may help us out."
"This is great news," TK said, "Maybe then we can get out of here as soon as possible."
"One question, shouldn't they still trapped within some barriers that the Burizalor used to trap them?" asked Biyomon.
"I guess not since the armies were already defeated. In fact, Burizalor had nothing to do with their sealing away. Those were done by his cronies," Izzy said, "He simply drained their energy and scattered four of their digicores. That way he would eventually find them."
"What section of the Digital World are we at?" asked Tentomon.
"Hmmm. According to the map, we're on the eastern hemisphere."
"That means..."
Suddenly, a bright glow started to penetrate through the dark and thick cloud that covered the skies. The children looked up and saw the light coming down. The digimon felt a tremendous power about to make its presence felt. Something was starting to come out from the thick dark fog.
"What is that thing?" Joe asked.
"I-It-It's has to be one of the four beasts," Gomamon said.
The children gasped at what Gomamon had said. They looked up to see s long, serpent like shape coming out.
***********************************************************************************
Burizalor felt his body start to bulk up quickly and his eyes were widening like never before. Radical lighting was coming down and striking all over Burizalor. Omega X felt a tremendous power increase coming from his adversary and got into a fighting stance. Burizalor raised his hands up and started to feed upon more of the radical lighting. He gladly accepted this power given to him. Now he would have a chance to use it and defeat Omega X in the process.
"His power is quickly increasing. Looks like he's as desperate as ever. I'm going to have to stop him now. No. I think I got a even better idea."
"What's the matter, you punk?! Are you getting scared now?"
"No way. Why should I be scared of you?"
"Because you're just standing there with glazed look in your eyes. Yes, I can see a yellow streak on your back."
"I came to a decision."
"And what's that?"
"I will allow you to reach your one hundred percent maximum. But, I still won't forgive for what you have done. You killed Sora and we will not let you go out and kill any more innocent souls! We are here to end you now, no matter how powerful you become!"
"Oh I'm flattered. Don't expect to walk out victorious after I am through with you."
Burizalor gathered more radical lighting and his body started to bulk up a little bit more. His eyes were glowing a red, blood-colored red. His arms got larger, as did his legs. Omega X took notice of this and had another thought.
"He's too scared that I'm going to attack before he completes his power increase. Well, he better not disappoint. I want to fight him at his very best. That would be his one hundred percent best. If I beat him at his very best, he won't come back to haunt us ever again."
Burizalor watched as his entire body was getting bigger and his power supply was being restored. He felt like a million bucks so to speak. Omega X waited for him to finish up and he powered up as well.
************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined looked upon the sky as a long, serpent shaped creature started coming through the thick clouds. He had a body that seemed transparent and a head with two eyes on each side. He had a horn of some sort on his forehead and chains wrapped around his transparent body.
"Who is that, Patamon?" TK asked.
"Its one of the four guardians!"
"Whoa, he's big and scary," Mimi said.
"I hope he's on our side," whimpered Joe.
"Don't worry I bet he's going to help us out," Gatomon said.
The dragon creature floated around and stopped as he looked down to face the Digi-Destined. It began to speak.
"You! Are you the ones who sent a distress signal to me?"
"Yes we did," Izzy said, "We desperately need help. The Digital World is about to be wiped off out of existence because of Burizalor's latest attack."
"Burizalor? That tyrant is up to no good. He wants to expand his empire in our absence."
"Just a question, how did you guys get free? Weren't you supposed to be trapped and sealed away?" Mimi asked.
"Well, we weren't sealed away by Burizalor. It was his armies who sealed us away. Burizalor drained our power supply. He then scattered a digicore from each of us guardians. Since you defeated them, each of us was released and our powers were restored as a result. Since you defeated Piedmon, I was released and my power was restored."
"Just a little while after we defeated Piedmon, the four Digital Cores died away and were turned to stone since they and Gennai were connected somehow. Gennai passed away due to that factor," Izzy said.
"Yes I understand, but we can restore the four Digital Cores with our powers. Since we were the ones who created the cores, we can make them reborn. Now where are they at this moment?"
"They right over where the battle is taking place," Izzy, "And if we got over there right now, we're bound to get in the line of fire."
"That is why one of you must go over there and bring the Digital Cores here, so that I may summon the three other Guardians and use our powers to restore the four cores."
"Sounds like a plan," Izzy said, "So who will be the one to go?"
The children all looked towards each other. Then they looked to Joe.
"What?! What are you all looking at me for? You want me to go?"
"C'mon Joe, you got me at your side, buddy," Gomamon said, "We're going to make it through. Besides you need a little humor to get you in the mood and I'm an expert at doing that."
"Well alright, it's to save the Digital World. Lets go Gomamon."
"I never thought I would hear you say that."
Joe and Gomamon headed off towards where the battle was taking place. He was to regain the four cores and bring them back.
"Good luck to you my friends," the dragon said, "Be careful!"
"Just another question. You forgot to introduce yourself," Izzy said, "We would like to know the name of the beast we are speaking to."
"Oh my apologies. My name is Azulongmon. I am the guardian of the eastern hemisphere of the Digital World. We are in the eastern part of it at this present moment."
"Well Azulongmon, is there any way to restore the Digital World to the way it was?" asked Izzy.
"Yes, if we have the four cores in our possession, it's a very good possibility. However, this is a great darkness that Burizalor has emitted into the atmosphere, its going to be very hard to restore the environment to the way it was before."
"Azulongmon, the legend of the fusion was true after all. Tai and Agumon fused to become Omega X. Did you expect that to happen?" TK asked.
"No. This was very unexpected. We knew that one of you would fuse with your digimon somehow at some point, but we never expected the actual leader to be the one to fuse with his digimon. But now, it has happened, and it is up to him to stop the evil that is Burizalor. He must do so in order to save the Digital World."
"Can you tell us what's going on during the battle right now?" Kari asked, "I need to know if my brother and Agumon are alright."
"But of course."
Azulongmon closed eyes and started to get a vision of what is taking place during the battle between Burizalor and Omega X. The other guardians are able to detect power levels as well and can easily read how much power each fighter possesses.
"The battle has stopped for a moment. Burizalor is gathering energy from his surroundings to achieve his one hundred percent of his true maximum. I don't even think Omega X knows what he's up against."
"Can't you do something, Azulongmon?" TK asked.
"Yes. I can communicate with Omega X through telepathic powers. Now if you hold your digi horses, maybe I can get through to him."
Azulongmon closed eyes once again and sent a telepathic signal straight to Omega X.
"Omega X! Can you hear me?! Omega X! Can you hear me?!"
Omega X just stood there and ignored the message. He kept his focus on Burizalor at the moment. He blocked out all telepathic communications at the moment.
"Now look. I know you can hear me. This is Azulongmon, the guardian of the eastern hemisphere!"
"Azulongmon, so you managed to break free?"
"Yes, thanks to you and the other Digi-destined. My power has been restored. This is the same for the other three Holy Beasts."
"That's great to hear, but I'm pretty busy at the moment."
"Yes, your fighting Burizalor. Just one question."
"Yes?"
"Why aren't you attacking Burizalor already? He's going to achieve his on hundred maximum!"
"We want him to achieve his one hundred percent maximum! We want to fight him at his very best!"
"But that's crazy. Omega X, don't you think that your new power has altered your judgment? It's too risky. You might get killed!"
"If I fight him when he's at his very best and beat him, he won't come back to haunt us ever again. It will be all over for sure!"
"But what if you don't make it?"
"No way. We can't lose. There's no way this creep is going to take us down that easily."
"But what about the others? As you know, that Armageddon Genocide is going to destroy the Digital World. They have to find a way out of here."
"Don't worry. They will all be ok. They will be safe and out of here for sure."
"But what if you and Agumon don't make it?"
"We will for sure. We both know this is the way we want it. This is the way we will settle this dispute once and for all. X knows what I have to do."
"Be sure to tell X that I send my greatest gratitude."
Burizalor continued powering up as his body was bulking up even more. Lighting was striking him and he let out a blood-curling scream.
"Alright, Burizalor. Like I said before, I will allow you to reach your one hundred percent maximum. But when you lose, we want you to know that you gave it your all but at your fullest, your power was no match for ours. And we won't ever forgive for what you did to Sora, Burizalor! You took away one thing that you don't ever have a right to take away, LIFE!"
Then there were scenes of Sora's death replaying in Omega X's mind in order to further infuriate him.
Azulongmon began to speak once again.
"I understand what you're going through. But how is Burizalor reaching his maximum going to help any?"
"If we beat him at his best, he will know for certain that we are far superior to him."
Azulongmon sighed and the Digi-Destined were getting a little worried.
"What's wrong, Azulongmon?" Kari asked, "What did my brother say?"
"He chooses to fight Burizalor to beat him at his very best. There's nothing I can do to change his mind. He won't listen. But there's no time for that, we have to get you children out of here and back to your home."
"Well first we have to wait for Joe to bring back those Digital Cores," Izzy said, "our fate rests in his hands now."
**********************************************************************************
The skies were getting more pitch black with red clouds starting to form. Radical lighting was coming down from different directions.
Joe and Gomamon looked around their surroundings. They knew for certain that the Digital World was close to extinction. They had to act quickly and find the four Digital Cores.
"This is not looking good."
"Well look on the bright side Joe. At least, you know that its not wiped out just yet."
"That's why we have to find those digital cores now."
"Where did we see them last?"
"Before the fight with Burizalor, duh!"
Gomamon turned to see four objects lying hidden in a bush. He walked over to them and saw four large stone-like spheres.
"Hmmm. I wonder... Hey Joe! I found them!"
"Where?"
"Behind this bush! Come and see!"
Joe went over to the brush and gasped at what Gomamon just found. There were four stone-like spheres.
"Yeah! Those are the ones! Great job, Gomamon!"
"Eh. I'm so good."
Just then, a radical lighting bolt struck the ground near them and crack started to form.
"Ahh! Gomamon! We have to get out of here! You're too small to even lift these up! Time for Ikkakumon!"
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence]
Joe's digivice started to glow and it gave Gomamon the power to digivolve into his champion leveled form.
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon!"
Joe picked up the four cores and placed them onto Ikkakumon's back.
"Um. Joe. My back is hurting. I don't think we'll be fast enough to get the cores over to Azulongmon."
"Right, then we'll just have to digivolve again."
Joe's chest shoots out a beam of light. The light's beam looked exactly like the crest of reliability. It gave Ikkakumon the power to digivolve into his ultimate level form.
"Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
Zudomon picked up the four cores with ease and motioned over to Joe.
" How were you able to digivolve into ultimate? I thought my crest was wasted?"
"I have no idea. Maybe some of the crest's power was stored within your own heart?"
"That sounds too unrealistic."
"Maybe so, but that's how I see it."
"Well never mind that. Let's get a move on out of here."
"Before you faint."
"Hey, I don't faint that much."
"Do too."
They headed off back to the others with the four cores in their possession.
*************************************************************************************
Burizalor continued to power up and more radical lighting struck his body. Omega X stared him down and waited for him to finish up on his power up. Burizalor let out another blood-curling scream as a bright flash came out of nowhere and everything started to turn a pale white. The scenery was all white and everything seemed to fade to black.
As the light cleared away, Burizalor was still there with a pumped up body and electrical bolts surging through his body. He was catching his breath and relaxing his already stressed out body.
"There. I'm all finished. I am at one hundred percent of my true maximum! Now its time for you to crush you like an insect that you are!"
"Fine. Now let's get this started. I don't have time to play around, asshole."
A smile formed across the face of Burizalor as he quickly phased out. This time, Omega X was unable to detect his movements and felt an elbow shot hammer him right in the face. Omega X goes flying back as Burizalor goes flying right at him. Burizalor punches him in the gut and started hammering away at Omega X with fists to the face.
Burizalor picks up Omega X and tosses him into the ground. Omega X goes flying down. He watched himself going down into the ground. He was able to stop himself. Burizalor comes flying down and hammers Omega X into the ground. Burizalor flies up. Omega X gets to his feet and follows him up. Omega X misses a punch as Burizalor phases away. Burizalor reappears in front of Omega X and starts hammering away at him once again.
Burizalor kicks Omega X in the face and tosses him into a nearby canyon. Omega X goes flying through several nearby canyons. As a result of this, tons of rubble coming tumbling down on Omega X. Omega X comes popping out of the tons of rubble and blasts away some of the rubble. This way he could set himself free. He looks around and a thick purple cloud was surrounding him. Suddenly, he turned around and sees Burizalor nailing him in the face with a fist. Omega X goes flying back and Burizalor goes flying after him.
Omega X flips up and Burizalor misses a punch. Omega X flies up and looks up to see Burizalor phasing behind him. Burizalor grabs Omega X from behind and takes him down into the ground. Burizalor goes flying up and starts firing down several blasts where Omega X was laying. He stopped and watched an explosion occur. A large cloud of smoke appeared and was slowly starting to clear away. Burizalor looked down anxiously to wait for his adversary to appear.
As the smoke cleared away, there was nothing but rubble and dust. Burizalor was concerned. Suddenly, he felt a tremendous energy coming from another direction and he turned to see Omega X coming right at him. Burizalor throws in a punch but Omega X quickly phased out. Burizalor flies up and looks around. He turns to see Omega X hovering behind him. Burizalor turned around and flew right at him. Both of locked up and started to push each other with their tremendous force. It seems like a stalemate at the moment as electrical energy came surging through their bodies after each lockup.
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Well, unfortunately for you, Burizalor. It isn't going to happen."
"You're dead!"
"So, this is on hundred percent of your maximum power? I must say that I'm not impressed. So what do you say? We don't need all of this lock up crap. Let's get down business. You know something? I could have beaten you by now."
"What? How dare you say that! You're nowhere near my power!"
"You can't seem to admit defeat. Well you are about to be shocked at what I am about to do to you."
Burizalor flips back and phases out. Omega X does the same. Burizalor goes flying back and going head on with Omega X. Both of them nailed each other. Burizalor takes advantage and punches Omega X right in the gut really hard. Omega X goes stalling back and gasping for air. A smile formed across the face of Burizalor.
"Yes! Now you feel pain! About time! Now you will realize that I am the most powerful being in the digital universe! Ha! You never stood a chance against me! Victory shall be mine!"
"I don't think so dip shit."
"Huh?!"
"Because this battle is far from being over."
A shocked look formed across the face of Burizalor as he looked at Omega X, who was ready like never before. He had recovered so quickly that even Burizalor wasn't able to detect his hidden power increase.
Burizalor has achieved one hundred percent of his true maximum power. But will it really be enough to put away Omega X? And will the other Digi-Destined find a way to escape the dying Digital World before the Armageddon Genocide wipes them all out.

Coral: The four Holy Beasts have appeared. Wow, I'm glad this fight isn't five minutes. It's hard to believe five minutes would last that long. SSJ4T was smart enough to expand it to about an hour and a half.
Max: No kidding. How's the duel going, Kek?
Keke: Kaiba is really taking it to Yugi! This is getting ugly.
Kaiba: What are you going to do now, Yugi? I have you cornered like a trapped rat!
Yugi: I'm not done yet! My Revival Jam is still in place. You forgot that you've been running out of cards.
Kaiba: No! It can't be! I wasn't even paying attention.
Takato: Gee and here I thought Kaiba was a master duelist.
Kazu: I still need to nab me some of those cards.
Lupin: Well, I'm glad that there's a variety of hot chicks in this joint. Hmm, where to start?
Kiyone: Don't even think about it, Lupin.
Lupin: I was taking a look at that girl with the green skirt.
Kagome: Eyes off, buster.
Lupin: Hey is she you're woman, Inuyasha?
Inuyasha: She's not my woman, but you better keep you're hands to yourself.
Vash: Does anyone know where there's more booze?
Spike: I need more cigarettes. I can't chill without a smoke.
JP: Damn, those things are going kill ya!
Spike: You live only once.
Yolei: Hey, Ken? Wanna check out the duel?
Ken: Sure.
Kaiba: No! I've run out of cards?!
Yugi: Which means you've lost.
Kaiba: No! My cards are flawless!
Max: Comes to show you not to underestimate Yugi's deck.
Coral: Is this what is to come for the Duel City finals? I hope so. Make sure you come back because we'll have the next chapter to the Burizalor Saga, plus this party will continue. Until then, we're out!

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Four Guardians Shall Restore the Cores! Takeru and Angemon Return to Battle!
The whole scenery of the Digital World was starting to become a vision of hell. Landscapes were being ripped into shreds and devastated by numerous of earthquakes. Radical lighting was becoming increasingly common. Lava started to surface and caused lakes to become magma oceans. Explosions were occurring. The Digital World was dying and the Armageddon Genocide was definitely doing its damage upon the entire landscape.
Elsewhere, there were flashes of light appearing and disappearing in the skies. These two flashes belonged to two powerful beings, Burizalor and Omega X. The two super warriors were still clashing with one another while the whole Digital World was quickly being devastated by the dark energy emitting from the Armageddon Genocide.
Burizalor and Omega X had a stare down. Each had an intensified glazed look in their eyes. Burizalor was getting infuriated as ever. He couldn't stand the fact that Omega X was matching him at every move being executed.
"What makes you think you can do this to me? You aren't a stupid load of data! There's no way I should be losing to you!"
"Well this load of data is kicking your ass."
"Very amusing. However, it won't be until you are dead!"
Burizalor goes flying right after Omega X and misses a punch. Omega X fades out. Burizalor turns around to see him again and misses another punch. Omega phases out again. Burizalor looks up and blasts away but misses Omega X since he quickly phased out. Omega X appears behind Burizalor again and the evil tyrant misses another blast shot as Omega X phased out. Burizalor turned to face Omega X with a smile on his face.
"Wow. Superb. You are a rare fighter indeed! But my power is infinite. I am the most powerful fighter in the Digital World! And you, you will soon be dead! This world isn't big enough for the both of us!"
The two had another stare down while the landscape started to shatter away and lava beds were starting to surface. Radical lighting was striking the ground everywhere. But the devastating surroundings did not bother either fighter in any way.
**************************************************************************************
The other Digi-Destined sat around waiting for Joe and Zudomon to return. Kari and Gatomon looked out towards the skies.
"It's getting worse than we thought," Kari said.
"There isn't much time left. Hopefully Joe and Gomamon get here in time with those Digital Cores."
"Plus, let's not forget that my brother and Agumon are still fighting that monster."
"And we don't know for sure when this place is going to blow up."
"There isn't much time left. The Digital World is quickly dying as we speak. This attack that Burizalor used is affecting the Digital World tremendously," Azulongmon said, "Those two better hurry. We really need those Digital Cores."
"So this has got to be the worst summer vacation I ever had," Mimi said.
"Well look on the bright side, you and I first met," Palmon said, "and we were involved in one of the craziest adventures."
"You're right but I really want to go home, but I don't think we'll make it through alive."
"We will!" TK said, "as long as we put our faith into Tai and Agumon, we're sure to win the battle. In fact, we need more faith in Joe. He's risking life and limb to bring us back those Digital Cores. So I'm not about to give up now. Matt doesn't want us to give up, and neither does Sora!"
The others remained quiet and nodded in agreement. TK had said it all. He seems to have matured since the loss of his brother. He wasn't as afraid as he used to be. Kari could see this and she was proud of seeing him standing up for himself to protect the others.
"Besides, more worries leads to grief and we can't have any of that," he continued on.
"That's right, TK," Patamon said.
"This boy seems to be brave enough to have the crest of courage, but he possesses the crest of hope. He has very strong traits,"Azulongmon thought,"he and that little girl are without a doubt the keepers of the crests of light and hope. They help give the power that I need. Once the Digital Cores get here, I should ask those two children to activate them with their crests and allow me to use it to restore some of my power and that way I can restore the cores to the way they once were."
Suddenly, the digimon felt a strong power level heading towards their direction. Azulongmon also felt it.
"They are coming back," Azulongmon said, "and they're coming back with the four cores. Excellent. Soon the powers of the cores shall be restored to the way they once were. Its only a matter of time."
The children were excited at the fact that they might be returning home. But first, they must wait for the digital cores to get there so that Azulongmon can bring them back and restore their power. Azulongmon also plans to erase the darkness that is covering the Digital World. It wasn't going to be easy but who said it was going to be simple.
**************************************************************************************
The landscape slowly started to crumble as lava cam sprouting out of the ground. Burizalor and Omega X stared each other down as if they were about to attack each other yet again.
"As an expert of destroying different dimensions, you just about running our of time. This world will soon be wiped out of existence. So you just stand around there like some sort of statue. The more time you waste, the less chances you have to survive. But that's just like you typical goodies two shoe heroes, you by your time just to sacrifice yourself for the sake of others. No. On second thought, your just stalling more time for those halfwit children to get away from here and escape back to their world, and how do you even know that you're going to make it out of here alive? That's because you're going to be dead, while I take advantage and find your friends and kill them! So what do you say about that?"
"Well that depends! When you're dead, it will be."
Burizalor gasped at what Omega X just said and growled.
"You're done! Through! It all ends here and down to limbo you go!"
Burizalor began laughing to himself at what his adversary had just said. He also kept his anger to himself at the moment. But right where he had himself calm, he cried out with anger.
"No, you're the one who's through! Not me! Do you hear me, its you who is going to die!"
The earth ground started to shake even more at the surrounding energy that covered both fighters. More lava came sprouting out of the ground. Burizalor started to phase away from the lava spewing and towards safer grounds. Omega X quickly phased to where he was standing.
Burizalor phases out and flies up. Omega X flies up to meet up. Burizalor quickly shoots out a beam at Omega X. Omega X sees it coming and watches as it hits him but he is able to hold it back. The powerful beam pushes Omega X back. But Omega X pulls back and blasts the beam away. Burizalor watches it coming towards him but he was able to phase away just in time. Omega X goes to punch Burizalor but the evil tyrant was able to phase out. Burizalor goes behind Omega X and goes to punch him with a glowing fist. But Omega X caught his arm just in time and executes a backward head butt into the face of Burizalor. Omega X grabs Burizalor by the tail and tosses him down to the ground. Burizalor goes flying down and attempts to stop himself but gets decked right in the gut.
Burizalor manages to stop himself in time and looks up to see Omega X. Burizalor quickly phases out several times in order to catch up to Omega X. But just at the very last second, Omega X phased out and reappeared just below Burizalor. Burizalor looked like he was about to attack but Omega X held his hands back and started to form an energy ball.
"He's so desperate of beating me that he is blinded by his own rage,"Omega X thought to himself.
The two had yet another standoff as both of them was deciding when to attack and how to make their next move.
**************************************************************************************
Zudomon and Joe were just moments away from returning the cores over to where the others are waiting for them.
"So you think that these cores will be able to be useful again?" Joe asked.
"They should be. I don't see any other reason why the wouldn't."
"We have to get these to Azulongmon as soon as possible."
"Hey, don't worry. We'll get there just in time."
"That's what worries me."
Moments after arguing, the two actually make it through the devastated landscape and meet up with the other Digi-Destined.
"Hey! Nice to see that you two made it through," Kari said.
"Yeah. We thought you two would forever," said Gatomon.
"Well we could have gotten here faster if Joe didn't wet his..."
"Ok! I got the picture. What matters is that we brought over the Digital Cores."
The group laughed at their comments and gathered around the four cores.
"Excellent. You did great work and managed to get through such troubles," said Azulongmon, "now it's time that we summon them. TK and Kari, stand so that I know it is you two."
Kari and TK looked to each other and stood up. They looked up to Azulongmon.
"You two are the key possessors to the crests of light and hope. It is your crests that give me my power. Now there isn't much time, we must use the power of your crests and my powers as well to activate the cores."
"Our crests? But they're gone," TK said.
"Burizalor may have destroyed them, but their power remained in your hearts. The powers of your crests have enabled you to survive this long. You're digimon will still be able to evolve into their ultimate forms."
"Wow! So, we still carry their power! Let's do this, Kari! We have to before the digital world is toast."
"Right!" replied Kari.
"Now unleash the powers from your hearts. Tap into them using your thoughts. They must be positive, because any negative thought will corrupt the core's power."
TK and Kari nodded their heads and began to close their eyes. They visualized their respective crests in their minds. The crest of hope came to TK's mind, memories of him and Matt as little kids, the day that he met Patamon, the time Angemon first digivolved and to when Matt died. All of these scenes started to replay over TK's mind and the crest let out a golden ray of energy and it was sent straight to Azulongmon.
The crest of light came to Kari's mind with memories of herself with Tai when they firs saw their first digimon, to when she discovered that she was the eighth Digi-Destined, to when Gatomon relieved herself as Kari's digimon and the time Angewomon first digivolved. All of those scenes started to replay throughout her mind and her crest let out a ray of pink energy. It was then sent straight to Azulongmon.
Azulongmon fed upon the two beams of energy and a colorful transparent aura forms around his long body. He let out a loud roar that shook the landscape and he looked down to the four cores.
"Now it is time to restore the core's power and bring back the Digital World to the way it was before Burizalor and his army dismantled it!"
Azulongmon let out a beam of holy energy and watched as it showered the two cores with its tremendous energy. The Digi-Destined watched as the cores were glowing a gold and pink color. Then they transformed into a far more transparent color.
"Guardians! Come forth! I summon you!" Azulongmon roared out as he emitted four pairs of lights into the darkened skies.
The Digi-Destined looked up to see the light opening up a large gap in the skies. Light was coming down and showering over Azulongmon and the four cores.
"What's going on?" TK asked.
"He's summoning the other three Holy Beasts. Each of these cores belongs to each of the Guardians."
"Wow, pretty lights. This is just amazing," Kari said.
"You haven't seen anything yet," Gatomon replied.
Suddenly, three shapes started to form in the sky and they all looked down upon Azulongmon. Their eyes were glowing a pure, white color.
"Get ready guys!" Kabuterimon said, "You're in for a bumpy ride!"
The three shapes shot down three beams of holy light and penetrated the surface. Soon everything would turn into a blank white color as a result of the lights impact upon the surface.
As the light cleared away, the Digi-Destined uncovered their eyes. They all regained their senses and looked at their surroundings. It was shiny a bright white color and they were wondering what forms were emitting that kind of light. It seemed like holy light, the same kind that surrounded Kari before.
"Where's that light coming from?" Mimi asked.
"I think... I thinks it's them," Palmon replied.
"Who?"
"The four Holy Beasts of the Digital World."
The children all looked up and to their surprise not only did they see Azulongmon but three other huge monsters floating up. They gasped in shock and wonderment. They were getting their first glimpse of the four Holy Beasts together.
"Wow! I never seen anything like this," said Joe, "So those are the four Holy Beasts we have been hearing about. Well they certainly lived up to their expectations."
One of them was a large, fiery phoenix bird. This was Zhuqiaomon. Then there was a large turtle creature with two heads and what seemed like a large tree brush on his back. This was Xuanwumon. And finally there was a blue-striped tiger creature with a spiked tail ring and armor plates on some parts of his body. This was Baihumon. They all looked down at the Digi-Destined.
"Fellow Guardians. These are the Digi-Destined that I have been telling you about," Azulongmon said, "These are the Chosen Children."
"The Chosen Children that were sent here to protect our world?" asked Xuanwumon.
"Yes. One of them has successfully fused with their digimon. The boy who inherited the crest of courage fused with his Agumon to become Omega X."
"Yes I can see their battle as we speak now," Zhuqiaomon said, "Their powers are tremendous!"
"Burizalor has used his Armageddon Genocide in attempt to destroy the Digital World while the battle ensues."
"Well what are we doing lounging here for?!" asked Baihumon, "lets combine our energy to revive the Digital Cores!"
As soon as he said that, the four guardians' started to glow and emitted a holy light upon the four Digital Cores that were laid upon them. The cores were slowly being restored to the way they were. Azulongmon watched as one core started to respond. The other cores started to float up and circle around their respective guardian.
"Soon the power to revive the Digital World shall occur. The time has come to clean up the darkness that Burizalor has brought forth to contaminate this world," Azulongmon said.
******************************************************************
Meanwhile, Burizalor and Omega X had a stand off. Omega X was forming an energy ball in his hands and was concentrating on the energy he has left. Burizalor was screaming with total rage as he looked down upon his adversary.
"I can sense the presence of the four guardians. That's a good sign. Now they should help the others out. Meanwhile I can take my time and beat Burizalor to a bloody pulp. But I have to be careful and not become overconfident."
Burizalor had seen enough and went flying down at Omega X like a falcon swooping down to catch his prey. But Omega X wasn't about to give up without putting up a fight just yet. Omega X let out a huge wave of energy and sends it straight at Burizalor. The two super powers once again clashed to determine who the better fighter was.
The landscape was slowly crumbling and lava was spewing out from the underground. The skies were as black as ever with a red glow to them. The once Lush Digital World was becoming a giant hellhole.
Elsewhere, Omega X was blasting his energy beam right at Burizalor and he concentrated his energy right at his adversary. He pushes the beamer even harder in order to blast away Burizalor. However, Burizalor formed a force field around him so that the beam wouldn't hit him. This gave him a chance to at least push the beam right back at Omega X. Now their battle has turned into a power struggle.
"I got to hold on as much as I can. He seems to be getting stronger for some reason. I can't let my guard down. I just hope the guardians will get my friends out of here before this whole place blows up."
Burizalor pushed the beam back and was coming right at Omega X. However, Omega X cries out and lets out another beam to boost up his power beam in order to push back Burizalor even further. Burizalor screamed with rage as he attempted to push the beam back and that way he can take advantage over his adversary again.
As the two titans continued to clash with one another, the land started to shatter and fade away from the destruction of the radical lighting being emitted from the darkened skies. The Armageddon Genocide was having its effect upon everything that was once lush within the Digital World by destroying it.
***************************************************************************************
"Oh no. This isn't looking good," Azulongmon said, "Fellow Beasts! We are running out of time. We have to further increase the power of the cores now, so that we can restore what was destroyed of the Digital World."
"We're giving it everything we have," replied Baihumon.
The four Holy Beasts unleashed more energy into the cores and watched as the four cores started to rise by themselves. They were glowing the respective colors of the crests of light and hope.
"Pretty!" Kari said.
"Lets hope this works," TK replied.
The four guardians were chanting some kind of unknown digimon language. They were some kind of chants and the orbs started to brighten even more. The Digi-Destined watched in awe as the orbs were transforming into a more transparent color. Suddenly, lights started coming down and showering over the four cores. Now energy was being supplied into the cores.
"The cores! I can feel their energy," Gatomon said.
"Me too! It looks like their power is being restored," Patamon said.
The cores started to circle around their respective guardians and emitted holy light around the guardians. The cores then started hovering down towards the Digi-Destined as they're power was restored and they returned to their significant prestiged forms they once were.
"Prodigious," Izzy said, "Their power has been restored! Guardians, can you use their power to restore everything that was destroyed and everybody that has lost their lives at the hands of Burizalor?"
"Yes. Patience my young friend," Azulongmon said as his eyes started to glow a white color.
He shot out a beam of light at the cores and watched as the cores shot out several beams into the environment itself.
Slowly, the ground that was starting to shatter was slowly being pieced back together and restored. The lava that was beginning to spew out of the ground was quickly extinguised. The light penetrated through the darkened skies and started to erase negative energy that was being emitted into the Digital World.
"Alright," Joe said, "The Digital World is being restored! This is good news!"
"Everything should be restored to the way they were before Burizalor dismantled it," Azulongmon said.
"Now maybe my brother and Sora will be revived, since they were both one of Burizalor's victims,"TK thought to himself.
Kari looked out to the whole scenery of the devastated Digital World and her thoughts were elsewhere. She was getting more and more concerned about her brother, who was still fighting Burizalor at the moment.
"Hurry up Tai. It wouldn't be right if you and Agumon didn't come home with us."
***********************************************************************
Omega X kept his energy beam on Burizalor and powered up his beam to boost it up. He cried out and shot it right at Burizalor. The beam grew larger than it ever was. It got bigger to the point where Burizalor was unable to push it. However, Burizalor was also gaining more momentum as his force field was getting stronger and pushing the energy beam back.
Burizalor screamed out in rage and pushed the beam even further at Omega X. Omega X let out another cry as his beam was pushing back at Burizalor. Burizalor felt himself getting pushed back with the large amount of energy being sent straight at him. Burizalor screamed out and pushed the beam right back again. A smile formed across his face as an idea came into his mind. Burizalor let the beam push him back but this time he moves aside, which has Omega X distracted. His target has just moved away and was coming right at him.
Burizalor plows himself into Omega X and pushes him through several nearby canyons and picks him up. Burizalor holds Omega X in a bear hug position and flies up so high that he flies down into the ground. Burizalor drops Omega X into the ground and plows him under. Suddenly there was lava spewing out and Burizalor quickly pahsed out from the lava bed.
Burizalor looked down and saw the lava spewing out. He had done it. He managed trap Omega X into the underground lava bed. A smile formed across his face and he was catching his breath but a laugh was heard under his breath.
"Ha! Ha! Yes! I did it! I did it! I can't believe it! I actually won! Ha! Ha! Nobody can beat me! I am Lord of this World! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
His laugh began to echo throughout the landscape as radical lighting started coming down and darkness quickly spreading amongst the Digital World.
**************************************************************************************
As the other Digi-Destined were celebrating for the revival of the Digital World, Patamon felt the loss of a tremendous energy. TK took notice of his digimon shaking with anger.
"What's wrong, Patamon?"
"It's Omega X. I can't feel his energy anymore..."
"Huh?! What does that mean?"
"That means that he's dead."
"What?! No it can't be!"
The other children heard TK cry out.
"What's wrong TK?" Kari asked. "Who's dead," asked Izzy.
"Omega X! He's defeated," TK said.
The children gasped in horror. Now they're savior had been laid to rest by the evil tyrant.
"But that can't be!" Kari cried, "It's not true!"
Kari began crying, which led to Gatomon comforting her. TK started to clench his fists and turned towards Patamon.
"Lets go, Patamon!"
"Huh?"
"Let's go and stop Burizalor. If Omega X died, then it's our turn to stop him. What do you say?"
"Well, whatever you want. Let's do it!"
"Digivolve to ultimate so that we can give him a fight!"
TK's digivice and chest started to glow, which gave Patamon to digivolve into his champion leveled form and then into his ultimate leveled form.
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays in sequence during Patamon's evolution]
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Then the Crest of Hope started to power up and so did Angemon.
"Angemon chou shinka! Magna Angemon!"
Kari came running to TK and held his hand.
"No! I won't let you go! Stay here! We can't lose you too!"
"No Kari. We have to do this. Burizalor is going to hunt us down and follow us back home if we don't take care of business now. Don't you understand? I'm doing everything I can to protect you and everybody else. You just stay here with the others until then. Magna Angemon! Lets go!"
TK hopped onto Magna Angemon's back.
"Wait! TK! Have you lost it?! This is suicide!" Mimi cried.
"No way. This is adventure! My brother and Sora would understand what I'm about to do. You stay here and make sure the cores restore everything that was lost. Now we're off!"
Magna Angemon started towards back to the battlefield with TK on his back. The children watched on as their youngest team member had set off risking his own life for the sake of others. Kari watched on and nodded. She walked over towards the others and looked up to the guardians.
"Holy Beasts, it's time to restore the lives that were lost."
"Yes. We shall revive everybody that were killed," Azulongmon said.
"TK, be careful. We're counting on you to stall him while we do our part," Kari said.
The cores started to create light and this time it was to restore the lives that were lost during the invasion of Burizalor.
***************************************************************************************
The light spread across the landscape. The darkened skies were slowly giving way to the light and fading away in the process.
Slowly and surely, the bodies of the digimon were starting to reappear. Even the Primary Village was restored to the way it was.
Elecmon was revived and he slowly came to his senses. As he opened his eyes, he gasped and couldn't believe what just happened.
"I'm... Whoa! How bizarre! I'm back and so are the babies. This is very strange," he said.
"Not for long! This whole place looks like is about to implode," cried out a voice.
Veedramon came galloping into Elecmon's territory. His life was restored as well. Soon, large masses of digimon were being restored and they were looking up at the darkened skies. It was as if Armageddon was coming for them and they're short-lived lives was about to once again come to an end.
The skies were starting to clear away but some parts had retained a dark image with red lights showering down onto the landscape.
***************************************************************************************
X witnessed the turn of events. He was very happy to see the digital world being restored after it was corrupted by Burizalor's evil grasp.
"Yes! It's a go! Keke! The digital world is being restored and every slain digimon are being revived."
"That's great! I'm so glad. That means Sora and Matt should be coming around soon!"
"What about us?" Centaurumon asked. "Our halos are gone. Shouldn't we return home?"
"Actually we should stay here and seek more training. We can come back strong enough to protect the digital world," Piximon replied.
"I agree. Let us take advantage and train to our heart's content," stated Andromon. "X, we choose to remain here and train with you."
"A wise choice. I like you're dedication. Very well. You guys can stay and train."
"I'll be more than happy to cook for others," Keke replied. "It gets pretty boring around here and we could use some more company."
"We appreciate your gratitude," said Centaurumon.
"Sora. Please be revived," X thought. "Matt. That goes for you, too. This is for Keke's sake."
******************************************************************
"Hey! Everything is being restored! Even the lost lives," Azulongmon said.
The children celebrated momentarily but then they stopped when they turned to see Sora's dead body. It was not restored.
"But what about our friends that were killed as well?" Izzy asked.
"Just hold on!" Azulongmon said, "We are getting to that."
The cores started to glow once again and they sent a bright light that showered over the dead body of Sora. The children looked on and watched to see if the body was making any movements.
Suddenly, Sora started to move about. Her fingers moved and her eyes opened. She rose to her feet and looked to see the other children running up to her.
"Sora!" Biyomon cried out, "thank goodness your alive!"
"Yeah! You had us scared there for a moment!" Mimi said.
"What... What happened? I remember Burizalor shooting a beam at me and everything went blank," she replied.
"That's not important, but at least your alright," Kari said.
"Where's Tai? Where is he," asked Sora.
They all looked down and everything went quiet. Sora could easily tell their expressions on their faces. She gasped in utter horror.
"Oh no… Tai. You risked it all to stop that evil monster…"
"TK and Angemon are heading over there as we speak to stall Burizalor at the moment while we continue to use the cores to restore the Digital World," Kari said.
"TK?! We have to stop him before he gets killed, too!" Sora cried out, "What are we doing standing around here for?!"
"TK has it under control. Now shall we continue," Azulongmon said.
Sora looked up and saw the four guardians.
"Whoa... That's an awfully big dragon..."
**************************************************************************************
Burizalor was quickly catching his breath after taking care of Omega X and sending him into the lava depths. He looked up at the darkened skies and an idea came to his mind.
"The sky. It's black. Time to get out of here. And I don't have enough energy to weather the explosion."
He looked back down at the lava beds and laughed.
"Well. I hope you learned a valuable lesson. No digimon can beat me and you sure learned not to underestimate my power. Now you're nothing more than a flash in a pan. Rest in pieces, my friend."
Just as Burizalor was going to make his get away, he turned to see a beam of light coming right at him. He gasped and his eyes widened in shock.
"No! It can't be! Yes, it is!"
Burizalor looked back down at the lava bed and gasped in horror. He couldn't bear to know that Omega X had survived from the lava fall.
"But it's not possible! Shit! I was too careless!"
But to his surprise, it was Magna Angemon and TK. Burizalor gasped even more, but this time he was gaining back his confidence.
"No! You're not going anywhere. You're going to deal with us now," TK said.
Burizalor began laughing amusedly at the sight of his next opponent. He never thought that Angemon would return to challenge him once again.
"Deal with you? That's a good one kid. You're a funny little man. Do you really expect to stop me here and now?"
"We'll see about that! I think it's your turn to go down in defeat!"
"Oh is that so? You human children are so naive. You believe in everything that your digimon tells you. Where has that gotten everybody else? Nowhere, that's what! A pint-sized Digi-Destined, it's just fine and dandy with me."
Burizalor started to power up and point to TK.
"Do you really expect to continue on where both Taichi and your brother had failed? Well maybe you do have a chance at beating me. We'll find out. Show me what you got!"
"Take care of business, Magna Angemon! Give him everything you got," TK said.
Magna Angemon placed TK onto a nearby canyon for safety and turned to face Burizalor.
"Alright, Burizalor! I don't have all day!"
"So your really serious of challenging me once again. Magna Angemon, you still haven't learned from our previous battle. You believe everything that your human friend tells you and you believe him. Humans, bah! What a waste of a species. You actually represent what humans call guardian angels, well see if you're really that guardian angel sent out to protect some naive little boy."
"Enough talk! Lets fight now!"
Burizalor watched as Magna Angemon flew right at him and went for a punch. Burizalor phased out and nails Magna Angemon from behind. Magna Angemon powered up his saber and began slashing at Burizalor. The evil tyrant began flying back to avoid being slashed.
"Get him Angemon! Make him pay for what he did to Tai, my brother and Sora! Make him pay!"
Magna Angemon went to slash at Burizalor but he was too quick for even Magna Angemon to catch up to. Burizalor phases behind Magna Angemon and shots out a blast at him from behind. Magna Angemon goes flying into the ground. Burizalor follows him down and taunts him.
"Where's the challenge? I was really looking forward to a challenge from you but all I get is a waste of my time," Burizalor said, "You disappoint me."
"C'mon Magna Angemon! We have to stall some more time so that the other can get out of here," TK thought to himself. "Its time that I make Tai and my brother proud."
Burizalor walked over towards Magna Angemon and pointed his finger at him. Now he was ready to finish off Magna Angemon.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, more parts of the Digital World were being restored. More lives were being revived and landscapes were being restored.
Suddenly, a hand comes popping out of the ground and a blue light came penetrating through. Matt comes popping out of the mound with his eyes widened in disbelief. He touched his skin and pinched himself.
"But, I'm alive! I can't believe it. Ow! Yep. I'm alive."
Matt started to stand on his own two feet and saw that the wound in his chest was healed up and his heart was restored. He looked down at his glowing crest.
"This is just totally insane. Gabumon. TK. I'm glad you two are still alright."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the Other Side, X wiped his forehead and was quite relieved over the revival of Sora. He was even more relieved to know that Matt was also revived. That meant that Keke would not have to worry about his welfare.
"Yes! Matt and Sora have been revived!" X exclaimed. "Keke! Matt has come back!"
"Yay! They've managed to bring them back! Matt is back!"
"Now, our last hope is for Tai to defeat Burizalor. Otherwise, our last hope will be lost. He has to put that bastard out of commission! C'mon Tai! It's time to put some more of my training into use!"
***************************************************************************************
Gabumon felt the power of the crest of friendship and smiled.
"You guys. I can sense Matt's energy! He's alive!" Gabumon said.
"That's great! Matt is back!" Mimi said, "Everything is going according to plan."
"Not exactly. Now we have to find a way to seal away the darkness that is destroying the Digital World and along with it, Burizalor, so that it will blow up right in his face," Azulongmon said.
"That's a good plan," Izzy said, "Now all we have to do is wait for TK and Angemon to get back here. I hope they're handling the situation carefully."
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor began shooting beams at Magna Angemon but he was able to dodge them. He flies up and attempts to stall more time. Burizalor goes flying right after him.
"That's the way, Magna Angemon!" TK cried out, "You keep him distracted and catch him off guard!"
"Damn, Angemon. What's he trying to do? He doesn't realize that he has no time left. The Digital World is set to disappear. Huh? Wait a minute!"
Just as Magna Angemon was getting away, Burizalor quickly phases in front of him.
"Where are you going? Trying to stall more time for those halfwits to get back home? Well, you're too late to even save them because they do not realize that they have enough time left. This whole place is setting off to blow up."
"I'll do my best to stop you and protect the others! We won't allow you to enter the human world."
"Oh is that so? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you leave me no choice. Once this world has been destroyed, I will venture onto the human world and kill everybody there! Then I shall be the conqueror of many worlds and the most powerful being ever!"
"No! I can't allow him to kill anymore innocent people, or for that matter, my own family. Mother! Father! I won't allow him to hurt you! I won't let him hurt anybody anymore!"
TK cried out in rage as Magna Angemon flew right at Burizalor and started hammering him away with closed fists into the gut. Burizalor goes flying back. Magna Angemon elbows him down to the ground. Burizalor goes flying down into the ground. Magna Angemon powers up and holds his hand back.
"Take this you! Ahhhh!"
Magna Angemon shoots out a beam of energy and sends it right at Burizalor. A huge explosion occurs as Magna Angemon was catching his breath. TK had his hands held forwards and catching his breath as well. Suddenly, his eyes started to widen in horror as the smoke cleared away. Burizalor was still standing there without a scratch on him.
"Amazing move from a weakling. Which is precisely why I have to kill you. I guess I should start exterminating every digimon maggot that dares to oppose me. It's a dirty job but somebody has got to do it. So."
Burizalor powered up and his body got bigger once again. Now his power was quickly restored and he was ready to finish off Magna Angemon.
"Tai. I'm sorry. I tried being a hero like you and my brother. I really did try. Please forgive me."
"This is the end of the road for you Magna Angemon. Say goodbye!"
Suddenly, there was a bright light penetrating through the ground. Burizalor looked down and wondered what was setting off such a powerful ray of light. And to his surprise, he couldn't believe at what he saw. TK and Magna Angemon couldn't believe at what they saw as well.
Omega X was rising out of the ground and he has his eyes locked onto Burizalor as if he were targeting only him. TK smiled and cried out.
"Tai! Agumon! Yeah!"
"Go now! You and the others were supposed to leave this place! Magna Angemon, get TK away from here as far as possible."
"Yes, of course."
"But Tai!"
"Don't argue with me, TK! You have to get out of here now!"
Magna Angemon picked up TK and carried him off back to where the other children were waiting.
"You can do it, Tai! Please try to make it back alive."
Burizalor's gasped in shock. He was terrified at sudden reappearance of Omega X. He was sure that he killed him. He should have been dead in his view.
"No! Damn it! I killed you!"
Omega X got into a fighting stance and was ready for round two against Burizalor. The landscape around them was getting worse and slowly starting to fade away.
Omega X is back for round two against the evil Burizalor. But there isn't much time left, the Digital World is set to go off at any given moment. Will the core's power even be enough to restore the Digital World to the way it was?

Lime: Oo, she told me a lot about some exotic dishes! I'm so excited to cook! Then I can cook for you guys, not to mention Otaru!

Gene: I'm on him.
Davis: Heh, you won't get away this time, Ranma.
Ranma: Man, I'm starched. A little drink will do just fine.
Gene pushes a bucket of cold water over onto Ranma. The bucket narrowly misses and Ranma jumps back in shock.
Ranma: Whoa! Why are people obsessed in dumping water buckets on me? Oh well.
Davis: Damn! I almost had him!
David: Want to get him the easy way, dad?
Davis: David?
David: Watch this.
Davis pulls out a super soaker and hits Ranma on target with cold water. Ranma makes his transformation from a male to a female.
David: See?
Davis: Cool! I never thought I'd see this in person.
Ranma: What? You mean you pulled off all that crap just to see me change?!
Davis: Yeah. I haven't seen you're show before. So it's a good thing I wanted to see you change.
Ranma: How observant of you Daisuke.
TK: Hey, Davis? What's up?
Davis: You ever seen the show Ranma ½?
TK: Of course, I have.
Davis: Now I got the chance to see Ranma go through that sex change.
TK: With the water?
Davis: Yeah.
Coral: Look out behind ya, Davis!
Davis turns and is laid out by one of Ranma's kicks. Davis is now unconscious once again.
David: Heh, poor dad. But you're still a cool dad.
Coral: Now that was interesting. We're out of time, but we'll be back with the continuation of our party, plus the heart-pounding action of the Burizalor Saga.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Burizalor and Omega X Resume the Battle! A Duel into a Vanishing Dimension!
The whole landscape was quickly starting to shatter away as lava came spewing out and canyons rising out of the ground. The skies were getting darker and darker with a red color forming in the background. Now it was looking like hell about to surface. The Digital World was dying. There was no telling when it will implode out of existence.
Omega X was facing off against Burizalor once again. He managed to escape the lava beds and escaped further death. And he managed to plow himself out of the ground in order to resume the fight that he was hoping to end. Burizalor gave an angry look towards Omega X as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Why am I not surprised?! You're just like a stubborn virus and you managed to come back to preserve yourself, but when there's a virus there's always an anti-virus. I'm here to treat you! You could have left this place when you had the chance but now you decided to stay and resume the fight? You're such an idiot!"
"No way! Why run away from something that you're not afraid of?"
"Ugh! Just for that comment, I'm going to rip your heart open. Just like I did to your weakling comrades."
"Those weaklings were my best friends, Sora and Matt. Yeah how could we forget."
The deaths of the two Digi-Destined began replaying in Omega X's mind, which started to fuel his anger even further.
"NOW! YOU DIE!"
The ground started to shatter once again and lava came spewing out after numerous of earthquakes started taking place. More radical lighting started coming down along with hot ashes.
"Idiot, I'm not going to die here. Catch my drift?!"
Burizalor shot out two beams and sent them straight at Omega X. Omega X held out his hands and pushed them back. Burizalor phases out and goes flying at Omega X. Burizalor goes for several punches but misses as Omega X phases out. Omega X appears behind Burizalor and goes for a punch. Burizalor ducks under and flips backwards. He holds out his hands and shoots out a powerful beam at Omega X. Omega X shoots out a beam of his own and shoots it and shatters it away.
The two began clobbering at each other while the whole scenery was beginning to look like hell about to surface. The two fighters were so fast that it was like watching two flashes of light colliding with one another. Burizalor blasts more beams at Omega X but they're were quickly blocked out by some of Omega X's own beams.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the other Digi-Destined were gathered with the four guardians. The four cores were sending out more holy beams that were quickly repairing everything that was devastated by the destruction of Burizalor's dark energy.
"We don't have much time," Kari said, "We have to use the cores to erase the darkness that is contaminating the entire Digital World."
"Right. We should be getting to that at any moment," Azulongmon said.
"To make sure that Burizalor and the negative energy is sent back into the dark dimension," Izzy said.
Azulongmon nodded in agreement and was about to activate the cores once again, but he and the guardians were suddenly interrupted by a voice. It belonged to Omega X.
"No! Don't do it, guardians!"
Azulongmon used his telepathic communications to respond to Omega X.
"Hey who are you to stop us?"
"It's me! Omega X! I'm the one who requested to stop you."
"But why? How are you able to our read minds?"
"Guardian, don't wish for just Burizalor and the negative energy to be sent back into the dark dimensions. Send me as well!"
"But that's plain insanity! How do you really expect to survive such a horrible world as the dark dimension?! That's where Burizalor fights at his best."
"Listen, why stop my fight just to be sent back home? I need to finish this fight in order to prove myself as a dominant fighter and the true leader of the Digi-Destined. If I fight Burizalor and beat him, I know for certain that he won't come back to haunt us again."
"But it's too risky, young warrior."
"I understand how you feel, guardian. That is why I request that you send me, Burizalor and the negative energy made from the Armageddon Genocide into the dark dimension. That way I can fight him there and not worry about the safety of the others."
"I'm not so sure."
"Just make your choice. Decide how you feel, you know what the right choice is. Why end this fight when it already has started in the first place."
"Very well then, Omega X. I respect your decision. Now resume your fight warrior of courage. I shall take everything from here."
"Thank you, guardian."
"Hey, buddy! My name is Azulongmon."
"Oh. Heh. Right."
Azulongmon turned to face the other Digi-Destined. They had been waiting and wondering why he was still for a moment.
"Ok. I'm ready, Digi-Destined."
They nodded and watched as the cores were starting to power up once again.
***************************************************************************************
X looked on from his sacred planet. He heard about Omega X's startling favor. He was about to go against his wishes, but knew that this was the only way.
"X! Aren't you going to do anything about this?!"
"No. This is Tai's choice to make. Besides, I would have done the same thing."
"You two do think alike."
"Well, that's because we're related in a sort of way. If you know what I mean."
"Oh, yeah. I get it."
"The ball is in your court, Tai. Kick that bastard's ass!"
**************************************************************************************
Burizalor goes flying back and shoots out more beams but Omega X was able to reflect them right back at Omega X. Burizalor phased away and landed on top of a canyon. Omega X hovered down onto another canyon ledge and the two super powers had another stand off.
"Thank you, Azulongmon. You made the right choice. All right, Burizalor! Lets finish this!"
"What's the matter? Were you zoned out for a moment there? No we shall resume our fight. Don't you agree that this has been one historic battle but there can only be one champion!"
Omega X turned another direction and looked to see the guardians out in the open across the ocean and on another island just moments away from the island they were presently on, File Island. Omega X chuckled and turned to face Burizalor once again.
"Great. It looks as though everything is going according to plan."
"Plan?! There is no plan! What in the hell are you talking about?!"
Burizalor growled and turned to see what shocked him the most. He saw four large figures out in the open and across another pair of islands.
"Huh?! Aren't those the Holy Beasts?! The actual Holy Beasts?! Yes! But how?! Those Digi-Destined must have activated those digital cores. This is my chance to gain what I was seeking for in the first place, immortality! Yes! It's time to grant my wish!"
"Oh hell no!"
Burizalor jumped off the ledge and flew across from File Island and across the ocean. Omega X went to follow him and attempted to catch up to him. Burizalor shot out beams in order to slow down Omega X while he attempted to get across the ocean.
"You're not getting that wish! Not as long as we're still breathing air, asshole!"
Omega X boosted up his energy and flew right after Burizalor as he was starting to catch up to him. The two clashed with one another and started hammering away at each other. Burizalor ducked away from several of Omega X's attacks but Omega X was able to do the same with Burizalor's attacks.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Matt was walking across the landscape and looked at what he saw. He witnessed a dying landscape with lava spewing out and mountains quickly shattering into pieces. Matt continued to walk on and started to look at his hands. He felt like flesh and bones instead of an empty spirit.
"Maybe I didn't come back to life. Maybe this is hell. It sure looks like hell."
Suddenly his crest started to glow and he looked upon it.
"My crest is glowing, which means Gabumon is close by! Tai and War Greymon must still be fighting Burizalor. I got to help them! GABUMON!"
**************************************************************************************
Gabumon heard his name being called with his keen sense of hearing and watched as his body started to glow.
"Matt! I can sense you! Your crest is giving me power! I can digivolve again!"
The other children watched in awe. Gabumon got ready to digivolve.
[Digimon Adventure "Brave Heart" plays in sequence to Gabumon's evolution]
"Gabumon warp shinka!"
A beam of beam struck Gabumon as it allowed him to digivolve pass his champion form, Garurumon, and his ultimate form, Were Garurumon. Then his mega form came into being, Metal Garurumon.
"Metal Garurumon!"
The metallic wolf hovered off the ground and started towards back into the battlefield in search of Matt.
****************************************************************************************
"Metal Garurumon! Where are you?!"
Matt looked up. To his surprise, his respective digimon was coming down. Matt watched as Metal Garurumon fazed right in front of him.
"You ready for round two, Matt?"
"I'm always ready. Let's go."
Matt hopped onto Metal Garurumon and they started off towards where the historic battle was taking place.
["Brave Heart" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor and Omega X clashed with one another once again. They traded blows that set of tons of sparks and explosions. The impacts caused the ground to shatter as well as canyons being sucked in. Now there seemed to be a tornado starting to surface amongst the landscape.
Omega X flips up and avoids getting blasted. Burizalor fires more shots at Omega X but they were shattered away by one of Omega X's own shots. Burizalor was getting more furious with each shot shattered. He flies up above Omega X and powers up a beam. But instead of shooting it as a whole, he shot it and created a scatter shot. Tons of beams were now showering over Omega X. Burizalor watched as Omega X quickly phases away and phases right behind him. Burizalor turns to get met with a right hand cross by Omega X.
Metal Garurumon and Matt were heading towards the battle. Matt could see two light forces colliding with one another.
"Is that them?"
"Yes and they're faster than ever."
"Man! Just look at them go! I've never seen anything like this!"
"Want me to attack just yet?"
"Let's wait until we get a little closer into the action."
"Whatever you say."
Burizalor jumps up and dropkicks Omega X in the face and sends the heroic warrior away for the moment. Burizalor starts flying towards where the other Digi-Destined were.
"Oh no! Its Burizalor," Kari cried out.
"This is not good," Joe said.
"So you must be the guardians! Now that I am here face to face with you four, I want you to grant me immortality and transferring yours power to me and I shall become the new ruler of the Digital World!"
The four guardians turned to face the evil tyrant and the orbs were starting to glow. Suddenly a large hole was starting to form in the skies and was sucking up the negative energy that Burizalor created.
"What?! No! My darkness is being sucked away! Digi-Destined you damned cost me my long life goal! I shall never forgive for this!"
Burizalor powered up a beam and sends it right at the Digi-Destined. But within a flash of light, they disappeared and the beam hit the ground. A look of disbelief came over his face. He turned to face the guardians with an angry look and then to Omega X.
"Burizalor! I'm back!"
Burizalor gasped even more when he turned to face Metal Garurumon and Matt. They were ready to attack as missiles were being targeted at him.
"Hey! Welcome back, Matt! Maybe we didn't bury you deep after all."
"Well, isn't this a convenience? Tai! Agumon! You did it! You actually did it! Your the first fused warrior."
"So how do you like our new look? Pretty classy, don't you think?"
"Oh yeah. You're the man, dude."
"No! I killed you! How did you come back?!"
"Eat shit, Burizalor!"
Suddenly, just as Matt and Metal Garurumon were about to make their move, they disappeared as well.
Burizalor turned to see the guardians and they disappeared. Then he saw the four cores hover up and fade away as well.
"What?! No! I waited so long for this moment and it has been taken away..."
"Wow, you were really close. I got to admit that, but we beat you to the punch. So much for being the strongest guy in the Digital World, you certainly aren't the brightest. You got outwitted by us kids."
Burizalor screamed out in bloody rage and anger as the ground around him started to shatter away. They were both no longer in the Digital World. All of the negative energy was being sent to the dark dimension they both were currently at. This world is the dark dimension. Everything around seemed like total darkness with barely any source of light.
Burizalor turned to face Omega X and his eyes were full of hatred, rage and vengeance. He had lost his opportunity to gaining immortal status. He craved for this power for so long and it was taken away from him. Now they were in his home turf. Here Burizalor will have his way with Omega X and reclaim his top spot as the most powerful being in two dimensions.
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, everything was back to normal in the Digital World. Everything that was lost had been fully restored.
The Digi-destined found them selves all safe and sound. Their digimon were still safe and sound.
Kari lifted her head up and looked to see Gatomon safe in her arms.
"Is everybody alright," Sora asked.
"With the exception of our butts cramping. Yeah everything seems alright," said Joe.
"Are we in the Digital World?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah it looks that way, but everything seems peaceful. Where did all of the darkness go to?" pondered Kari.
TK and Patamon found themselves in a quiet forest and they turned to see the others.
"Hey Patamon! It's the others! We need to know what is going on."
TK and the others ran off to meet up with the other children.
"What happened? Where's the destruction? Is this the Digit-"
Soon, TK was cut off by Azulongmon's booming voice.
"Yes. We are in the Digital World. We used the core's powers to send the negative energy of the Armageddon Genocide back to the dark dimensions where it belongs. And with it, we sent Burizalor back where he belongs."
TK and Patamon were smiling and happy to hear the news.
"But Tai and Agumon decided to resume their battle against Burizalor and stay in that dimension."
"Huh?! But why?!"
"Because he wants to finish the battle. This will write the final chapter in their most historic battle ever. It will determine who the greatest warrior in two worlds will be."
TK and Patamon sighed at the thought of Tai deciding to remain in the dark dimension. It is set to go off at any moment.
Matt and Gabumon saw themselves back in the Digital World. He looked around and didn't like what he saw. He didn't even get a chance to clobber Burizalor just once.
"No! I had him right where I wanted him! I thought I knew for sure that I was going to get Burizalor back for killing me! Then, we're here. I almost had him! I was so damn close!"
"Hey, Matt? Don't you think we should be getting back to where the other Digi-Destined are at?"
"Hmm? Yeah, we might as well."
Matt looked up and was hoping that Tai would make it back so that they could all go back home together.
**************************************************************************************
X was cursing over the fact that he had forgotten a slight detail concerning Burizalor's Armagedon Genocide.
"Shit! I should have known about this!" X stated.
"What is it?" asked Piximon. "Is there anything wrong with Taichi?"
"No, but it deals more with the dark dimension itself. Burizalor summoned his Armageddon Genocide. When that happens, it always destroys the world, which it cloaks over. In this case, Azulongmon sent Burizalor, Omega X and the Genocide into the dark dimension. In just under thirty minutes, the dimension will implode and nearly everything surrounding it will be destroyed."
"No! That means that they will fight to the death? There won't be a real winner?" Keke said.
"I'm afraid so. Damn, Tai. You're just as thick headed as I used to be. I pray that you beat this asshole and beat the hell out of there."
**************************************************************************************
Burizalor and Omega X faced each other off in another standoff. The environment around them was total darkness with radical lighting in the background. There was a faint red glow coming about through the darkness.
"Most dimensions would be gone by now, but this one is a toughie. I'll give this dimension about thirty minutes."
"That's not much time left!"
"You sealed your own fate by making those wishes. You could have left with them."
"I could have, but I was really looking forward to this moment. Now I can fight you without worrying about the safety of the others."
"Fool! What do they know about safety?! Those peons weren't safe from my evil wrath in the first place. I'll go back and kill your friends. Hell, I'll do it for the hell of it. There's no way your beating me on my home turf!"
"Oh we'll see about that!"
Omega X levitated down onto the ground and got into a fighting stance.
"So it comes down to this. I never felt how much a big battle really feels like. It's such a rare sensation indeed. Let's end this once and for all!"
Burizalor hovers down as well and faces off Omega X in a stand off. Their eyes were locked onto one another.
Burizalor and Omega X faced each other off in a standoff as the landscape around them was starting to melt away. Darkness was quickly spreading.
"Just to set the ground rules straight, you time is just about running out. What are you going to do? You don't have much time left. Besides, it's going to take a lot to put me down. This is my home turf and there is no way I plan on losing this battle to the likes of you."
"Well I don't plan on losing anywhere against you! You're through! You're yesterday's news!"
Burizalor growled in anger at what Omega X just said to him.
"I'm putting an end to you once and for all!"
"If there's anybody who is going to die, it's going to be you and this wretched world!"
Burizalor and Omega X went flying right at each other and both traded elbow shots to each other. The force of the impact sent them both flying back. Burizalor and Omega X went flying at each other once again and clashed with fists galore. Then they traded more fist shots to each other as the landscape around them started to shatter away.
**************************************************************************************
The four guardians were discussing their next move on what to do about the Digital World.
"Everything seems to be restored and in the right place," said Azulongmon.
"That's for sure. But what about every digimon that were killed," asked Baihumon.
"Yes, their lives have been restored as well," replied Zhuqiaomon.
The Digi-Destined looked about the newly restored Digital World. TK and Patamon were sitting near a lake and throwing rocks into the water.
"You think Tai and Agumon will make it through?" Patamon asked.
"I hope so, Patamon. There isn't much time. That dark dimension could be going off at any given moment. But I know for a fact that Tai can pull it through, he's done it in the past and he can make it through again."
"Right!"
Sora sat down on the grass and sighed to herself. Biyomon walked up to her and put her wings around her human partner.
"Biyomon, do you think Tai will make it through? Just say yes or whatever, cause it will only get me more nervous if you said that you don't know."
"Well to be honest..."
"Yeah?"
"I think he's going to pull it through. He and Agumon will beat Burizalor's lights out and make it back in time. That way we can all make it home without any hesitations."
"Thanks, Biyomon. I know you always have a way to cheer me up."
"That's why I'm always there, Sora."
"That's a good thing. I never meant to tell Tai this..."
"What did you want to tell him?"
"Well I..." "Go on, you can say it..."
"That I..."
"Yes?"
"I really like him."
"You like him? Yeah I always knew you do."
"You do?"
"Mmmhmm. You're nearly always with him when trouble comes brewing around."
"Yeah that's true. Well it's because I knew him since we were little kids."
"Since you were a little kid?"
"Yeah. We were on the same soccer team too. We made a great team. We were almost unbeatable."
"Wow, that's why you two are more than just friends."
"Uh huh, but we don't know for sure if he will make it back in time. He always knows what's best for all of us."
"That's right. That's why he has the crest of courage."
"I have the love for him and the others, that's why I carry the crest of love."
They nodded to each other.
Azulongmon notices the fallen and near dead body of Leomon. He watched as Leomon slowly revived his eyes and sat up. The Digi-Destined gathered around him.
"Leomon! Are you alright?" Joe asked.
"Yes. Where are... Is this the Digital World?"
"Yeah we managed to get here safely," said Izzy.
"Huh?! Where's Taichi and Agumon?!"
"You must relieve yourself my friend," Azulongmon said, "At this moment, they are fighting Burizalor in the dark dimension as we speak. We used the cores to transfer them and the negative energy created from Burizalor's evil power back to the dark dimension. From there we hope that Omega X will make out alive leaving Burizalor to have his own darkness explode right in his very face."
"But that means, Tai and Agumon don't have any chance of surviving! We have to get to them now!"
"There is nothing we can do for now since the cores have lost their luster and it's power. It's going to be really hard to bring somebody from the dark dimension, even somebody like Omega X."
"Then we can't help them?!"
"Don't worry, Leomon," Kari said, "As long as we believe, my brother will have a better chance of winning this battle and making it out alive. We can't grief for him but cheer him on. It will make him stronger that way."
"Maybe you are right. After all he's the child who inherits courage. He doesn't care what happens to himself but stakes his own life on the line for the sake of his friends and others."
"That's right and he's going to beat the living crap out of that creep," Mimi said.
"You said it, Mimi," replied Palmon as she hugged her human partner.
"All we can do now is hope and believe," Tentomon said, "Tai and Agumon would want us to do that instead of grieving and crying."
As soon as he said that, there was a sudden silence until Matt and Gabumon came walking up to them.
"Matt! You're back!" Sora said.
As soon as he heard the name 'Matt', TK quickly sat up and turned to see Matt. His eyes got all teary and he ran up to Matt.
"Matt!"
"TK!"
TK jumped up and tackled his brother down and gave him a great, big hug. Matt was struggling and almost choking.
"Ack! Ack! Yo! Watch the hair, little bro!"
"I'm so glad that you're back!"
"Yeah and I'm glad you're alright."
"So how did death feel like?"
"Well let's just say it was pretty relaxing for the moment but lets discuss it later."
Matt set TK down and turned towards the others.
"I got to agree with you guys. Tai would want us to hope and believe in him. He is the one who inherits courage and the more strength he gains, the more powerful he gets. It's coward ness such as Burizalor who stands no chance against the bravery power of somebody like Tai. Believe me, I felt like Tai at the moment I decided to fight Burizalor. I was gaining courage by challenging him. But it's a mistake I soon learned. Now you know why I wanted to take Tai's place. It's not because I hated him. Ok maybe he was a bit of a jerk, but he's my best friend. He's earned my respect. After all, he's looked out for TK and you guys, while I wasn't around. I'm proud of him for that. Tai, I could have been there with you. We could have fought Burizalor together. As a team, we can be unstoppable. But if you choose this as your own fight, then so be it. That doesn't mean that I don't ever want to fight you. Believe me, Metal Garurumon would love to get a crack shot at War Greymon again. I think of it as a dream fight. I know you would say the same. Tai. Do us a favor and win this battle for us. We really need you back so that we can go home and see our families once again. It wouldn't be right if you didn't return home with us."
Sora smiled at what Matt just said. Everything that Matt said was true and it brought a different prospective of himself and Tai. Those fights were due to the fact that they wanted to be the best, but it was Tai who ended up as being the best but Matt couldn't give up trying to be the best. Matt went from being a close-minded boy to a minion of Burizalor. Now, he has somewhat matured and accepted Tai as an ally.
TK was glad to hear what his brother had just said. Everything was true. He wouldn't even mind if Metal Garurumon and War Greymon were to fight one day, but it would have to be a respective fight.
"From the very day we came into the Digital World, we went through one of the wackiest adventures. I can remember the day our digimon first digivolved into their champion forms. Not to mention the time we had our disputes. We quarreled and wanted to knock each other's lights out, but I never wanted to kill you. I'm human just like you and you're my friend. Thank you for everything, Tai. You sure made me learn a lot of being a true big brother. Now I know that TK is just more than a brother but a little boy that I never had. I hoe that he turns out just like me or even you. He has the same kind of desire to be the best just like we do. Please return to us."
Matt walked off and sat on a large stone. He looked up to the sky and visualized Tai. He knew for a fact that Tai would return from the big battle, but it would be only a matter of time.
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor and Omega X grabbed each other and struggled. They pushed each other back as the ground around them started to cave in due to the power struggle they were having. Their feet were easily penetrating through the ground. They screamed and cried out for more power to their advantage but it would have to take a lot to do so. At the moment, they were at a stalemate and they were waiting to see who would make the first move to end the on going struggle.
***************************************************************************************
"Guardians, can't you tell us what is going down with the battle in the dark dimension," Kari asked, "I need to know if my brother is alright."
"Let me check it out," Azulongmon said as he closed his eyes.
An image started to come about in his mind. He could see the dark dimension.
"Well, what do you say," Sora asked.
"Darkness. There's radical lighting and total evil darkness. And yes. I see them!"
"Yes! So what's going on?"
"Yeah, is my brother ok?"
"He is fine at the moment. They are both at a struggle. It's a stalemate thus far. None of them have had a move just yet. It's going to take a lot to end this fight. Whoa! They are so fast that even we can't detect their movements!"
Sora and Kari were happy to hear that Omega X was doing well at the moment. But they knew that the dark dimension would implode at any minute.
***************************************************************************************
The on going struggle continued on between the two warriors. They cried out and more power was being supplied to their energy supply. Burizalor took advantage as he punches Omega X right in the face. Then he executes a powerful spear into Omega X and plows him into the ground with a heavy punch. But Omega X bounces back and starts hammering back at Burizalor.
Omega X takes Burizalor down and starts hammering him into the ground. Burizalor punches Omega X in the face and grabs him. Omega X then punches him in the face and grabs him. They both grabbed each other as radical lighting started striking the ground once again. Burizalor and Omega X raised each other's fists back and then they punched each other right in the face at the same exact time.
*************************************************************************************
Izzy was looking through his laptop and started checking any locations on nearby portals.
"What are you looking for Izzy," Tentomon asked.
"I'm trying to find a gateway that will lead us back home, since the trolley car got wrecked. I believe since the others are waiting around and asking for Tai. I can take this opportunity to find a way to get us all back home."
"But what about Tai? Shouldn't you worry about him?"
"No, because he's going to make it through. Burizalor stands no chance against Omega X."
"So, anything yet on any hidden portals."
"Not yet so far. I need a little more time to find any hidden portals. They're not very easy to locate I can tell you now."
Izzy looked through several digimon profiles and searched for any facts on Omega X. And not surprisingly, there wasn't any data on Omega X.
"Hmmm, I wonder. If Omega X has not data information, he must have a source where it can tell me how the legend of fusion came about. I always wanted to know how the very first fusion occurred. This is a side of digivolution that I never seen before. But it was pretty amazing to see the first one up close. Tai and Agumon must have gained something in order to achieve that level of power. I will find out what that source is."
*************************************************************************************
More radical lighting was coming down as the fight between Burizalor and Omega X continued. Burizalor picks Omega X up and tosses him into the ground. Burizalor picks up Omega X again and plows him through the ground once again.
"Yes! I'll have some fun with you! I've always been told to make every last second count!"
Burizalor flies up and tosses Omega X down into the ground. Omega X goes through the ground as a huge cloud of smoke appeared. Burizalor goes flying down and pulls back his foot and goes to kick Omega X right in the face sine he was blinded by the smoke, but as soon as Burizalor did this, he felt his foot getting caught by something. And to his surprise, Burizalor found out that Omega X held his leg in place and halted him from kicking his face.
Burizalor flies up and Omega X goes up to follow him. The two stared each other down once again. The darkened skies were slowly becoming red and lava was soon spewing out of the black covered ground. Burizalor and Omega X clashed with one another. They traded blows as sparks were flying and electrical charges were bolting.
**************************************************************************************
Mimi and Palmon sat around talking about how much fun it will be once they get back home, but they turned to see Joe and Gomamon walking up to them.
"Oh hey, Joe."
"Hey Mimi."
"So what do you think will happen?"
"That's pretty obvious. Tai and Agumon are going to make it through. You can bet your bottom dollar that will happen."
"Yeah but.."
"No buts. They will make it out through this whole thing. Just trust me. Leomon and Matt pretty much said it all. All we can do is hope. Nothing else matters."
Mimi nodded in agreement and looked up at the sky. It was so beautiful in the Digital World and peaceful, however the same can't be said for the other world.
***************************************************************************************
The landscape was slowly starting to shatter away as more lighting struck. Omega X and Burizalor once again faced each other off. Their bodies have been battered, bleeding and beaten as a result of them knocking each other loose with hard punches and kicks.
"Soon the forces of good shall overcome you. It's too late for you."
"Heh. We'll see about that!"
Soon they quickly phased out. Then as moments passed by, there were powerful energies striking one another across the landscape. The two fighters were like two lights striking each other with the best of their abilities. Quickly, the landscapes started to shatter away as a result of their powers colliding with one another. Several cliffs started to crumbles as the two started plowing through everything that stood in their way. Lighting was striking everywhere they made a move. It seemed as though their bodies were becoming conductors of the electrical surges surrounding them. However they were able to avoid being struck with their speed.
Burizalor punched Omega X right in the face and sends him flying back into the ground and grabs him by the throat. He tosses Omega X up and into a nearby lake of red water. It wasn't lava but seemed like a lake of blood. Burizalor takes advantage and cries out as a ball of energy was forming in his hands. It became larger than a large globe structure. It was now two thousand times his normal size. He then launches it into the water and watches as it plows through the water and goes right for Omega X.
Omega X powers up and attempts to push it back but it was too great for him to overcome. So, he managed to seek some of the supplied powers he had and used it. He powers a beam and uses it to push the energy ball back just a bit and then he punches the ball. The ball goes flying up into the skies wand Omega X manages to fly out in order to meet up with Burizalor. They both watched as the ball of energy goes flying into a large rock and shattered it. But not only did it shatter the large flying rock, but it exploded and everything seemed to turn white just at that very moment.
As the bright flash started to fade away, the two warriors had yet another stand off. Omega X was about to make his next move but Burizalor was there to stop him and push him back with a full force of energy. Omega X goes flying back and falling into a pool of lava. He falls in and this causes Burizalor to smile. But his smile faded away as Omega X formed a force field and came flying out of the lava pool. Omega X goes flying up at Burizalor and elbows him in the chest. Burizalor goes flying back while Omega X goes flying right after him.
Burizalor stops himself just in time and stands off against his adversary yet again. The area around them was slowly fading into a more black color. A smile forms across the face of Burizalor.
"Your really one of true legend. I'm glad that I met such a warrior like you. I've been seeking for a worthy opponent and you have come into being. You made my dreams come true."
The two stand off for the moment being as more radical lighting was coming down around them.
**************************************************************************************
"I have never see such a battle as this," Xuanwumon said, "They are so fast that not even our godly eyes can detect their powers."
"They have taken their fighting abilities to a whole new level of evolution," replied Azulongmon, "It is this fight that shall determine the fate of not just this world but also of other worlds such as your own Digi-Destined.
"Please make it back," Sora said, "Please Tai. Don't die. We need you to return to us safely."
Kari started to cry as the thought of hearing her brother getting killed. She wants her own flesh and blood to return so that they can be with their parents. He had promised to return safely but it seemed as though now only Kari was more likely to return home without her brother.
"Brother!" Kari cried out, "Please come back!"
The other Digi-Destined felt the same way. They tried to remain strong but they refused to express their emotions of possibly losing their leader. Matt sighed and looked up.
"Guys!" Matt said, "Don't grief. Just hope and be proud that he's going to beat Burizalor and make it back safe and sound. Just think positive, guys."
"Yes. That's all we can do. Tai wants you all to hope for the best," Leomon said, "And he's fighting that monster for the sake of you, Kari."
Kari looked up with tears in her eyes but she nodded strongly and held Gatomon closer to her.
"C'mon Tai! You can do it," Gatomon said to herself.
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor and Omega X hammered away at each other and their speed quickly increased as well as their power. The ground was sinking further into the ground and more lava was surfacing.
Omega X and Burizalor punched each other and elbowed each other as electrical energy was surging through their battered bodies. Blood was being coughed out and bones were being broken after every devastating blow.
"Only one of us will make it alive!" Burizalor cried out.
Burizalor punches Omega X right in the face but Omega X returns a punch and sends Burizalor flying back. Omega X goes flying right at Burizalor with his fists ready to clobber him once again. Burizalor lifted his head up and was regaining his senses. He ducked under and the two traded more blows across the darkest regions of the dark dimension.
Can Omega X defeat the mighty warlord known as Burizalor? Even if he does, will he have enough time to escape the dark dimension that is almost like hell on earth, before it implodes and all hope is lost?

Pitiful Burizalor Can't Stop Shaking! Omega X Declares Victory!
The dimension is starting to fade away and smoke was building up around the dying landscape. Volcanoes were starting to sprout and lakes were quickly becoming magma oceans. More radical lighting was showering down along with huge winds, storms and tornados. It looked like when earth was going through its first stages of development just billions of years ago. But unlike those ancient times, there were life forms. And there were two powerful energies colliding with one another.
These powers belonged to the two super powers known as Burizalor and Omega X. The two traded more blows as lava was starting to spew out all around them. The two warriors avoided the lava blasts and both flew up into the air. Burizalor was attempting to get away from Omega X but the heroic warrior was quickly catching up to him.
Omega X punched Burizalor right in the face and the two flew up to meet each other in the skies. The two had another stare down. Both of their eyes were locked onto one another, each full of hatred and vengeance.
"What makes you think you can do this to me! Your nothing more than just mere computer data!"
Quickly, they phased out and hammered away at each other across the dying landscape that was soon becoming more like a bowl of spaghetti sauce and this sauce was hot magma about to spew out and engulf anything that got in its way.
X was looking at the whole battle through his mind and he began to sigh. Keke and the trio took notice of this and were getting worried.
"X, what's wrong?" asked Keke, "Something has happened."
"C'mon. Did something bad happen to Taichi and Agumon?" Andromon asked.
"Wow. I never really seen anybody challenge Burizalor like the way Omega X is handling things. They are dead even. Omega X is matching Burizalor with every blow."
"So he has a chance of winning?" Piximon said.
"There's a strong chance and he'll be able to defeat Burizalor! But that doesn't matter. In the end, all of that won't matter. The dark dimension is set to implode at any minute."
"Ok, I wasn't quite alive when this occurred. You care to explain to me what Burizalor used to cause the dimension to implode," Keke said.
"Of course. I will tell you everything up to this point. This all started at the point where you got killed. Tai and Agumon had gotten so angry over your death that they used their anger to fuse into Omega X. This was the first legendary fusion in over many digital cycles. However, nobody really knows if there were any fusion level digimon before Omega X. But anyways, to get back to my story, then Burizalor was stunned that he couldn't beat Omega X with his techniques. So he decided to call for a little trump card..."
Flashback
Burizalor was forming the energy ball that created the Armageddon Genocide in the first place. Omega X was about to make his move while waiting for Burizalor to finish powering up his attack.
Burizalor held his arms up and shot the energy ball up in the air. The ball started to slowly expand. Omega X took notice of this and thought to himself. Burizalor turned to face Omega X with a smile on his face.
"I just thought of something that just occurred to me. I found a way to defeat you."
"Hmmm?"
"You're power is amazing. I'm not denying that, but didn't anybody remind you that it is the smartest fighter that wins, not the strongest. You're chances of winning have now gone out the window!"
"Huh!"
"With this energy ball that I just used, I will spread a darkness that will engulf the Digital World and destroy it in the process. It's simple but effective. I call it the Armageddon Genocide. We continue our fight from here but it will be too late to even stop my attack. Because this whole world will die in a matter of moments!"
"Taking a coward's way out? Well fine. It won't take me that long to beat you and get the hell out of here with our friends."
"No. That's where you are wrong. As you can see, you were battling me while at fifty percent of my power. Well now, its time to unload the entire arsenal! Now you will fight the one hundred percent fully powered Burizalor! You thought you had won but your chances of getting away is nonexistent! Its over for you!"
"But can your body withstand all of that stress from your tremendous power. Well I don't think it can. And in any case, we're not going to allow you to by the time for you to power up. You bastard, THIS FIGHT WILL END BECAUSE I SAY IT WILL!"
Burizalor flew towards Omega X and flew right at him. Omega X did the same exact thing and flies towards Burizalor with his fists ready. The Armageddon Genocide was slowly starting to spread and darkness started to cloak the skies.
End of Flashback
"Fortunately. Things didn't turn out as Burizalor has expected them to be. Azulongmon and the Holy Beasts foiled his evil plan."
Flashback
The four Holy Beasts unleashed more energy into the cores and watched as the four cores started to rise by themselves. They were glowing the respective colors of the crests of light and hope.
"Pretty," Kari said.
"Let's hope this works," TK replied.
The four guardians were chanting some kind of unknown digimon language. They were some kind of chants and the orbs started to brighten even more. The Digi-Destined watched in awe as the orbs were transforming into a more transparent color. Suddenly, lights started coming down and showering over the four cores. Now energy was being resupplied into the cores.
"The cores! I can feel their energy," Gatomon said.
"Me too! It looks like their power is being restored," Patamon said.
The cores started to circle around their respective guardians and emitted holy light around the guardians. The cores then started hovering down towards the Digi-Destined. Their power was restored and they returned to their significant prestige forms they once were.
"Prodigious," Izzy said, "Their power has been restored! Beasts, can you use their power to restore everything that was destroyed and everybody that has lost their lives at the hands of Burizalor?"
"Yes. Patience my young friend," Azulongmon said as his eyes started to glow a white color.
He shot out a beam of light at the cores and watched as the cores shot out several beams into the environment itself. Slowly, the ground that was starting to shatter was slowly being pieced back together and restored. The lava that was beginning to spew out of the ground was quickly extinguished. The light penetrated through the darkened skies and started to erase every negative ki that was being emitted into the Digital World.
"Alright!" Joe said, "The Digital World is being restored! This is good news!"
"Everything should be restored to the way they were before Burizalor dismantled it," Azulongmon said.
End of Flashback
"But time has run out since then and it those two don't make it out of there, then there is no chance for them to escape. They will die within the imploded dimension," X finished.
Sorrow started to come over the group as they started to worry even more for the sake of Tai and Agumon. They were at possible total risk of losing them.
As the dark dimension was slowly starting to die away, the two warriors clobbered away at one another. They traded blows so fast that not even the naked eye of a normal person can catch up to them. Burizalor and Omega X were punching at each other so fast that the force of their impacts caused some structures around them to shatter into pieces.
"You can't beat me! A piece of trash can't beat me! A piece of data can't beat me! You can't! I'm undefeated!"
Omega X and Burizalor both flew up and traded blows with one another. Burizalor goes for a punch but Omega X ducks under. Burizalor throws in another punch but Omega X ducks under once again. Burizalor goes for a kick but Omega X grabs it and twists it into an ankle lock maneuver. Burizalor cries out in pain and punches Omega X right in the face. He grabs Omega X and tosses him down into the ground. Burizalor flies down and goes to punch him but misses. Omega X flies up but Burizalor phases behind him. He plows Omega X down into the ground and into a small building structure that seemed abandoned.
As Omega X got to his feet, Burizalor throws in a punch but Omega X ducks under. Omega X decks Burizalor right in the gut and kicks him into another building structure. The structure shattered due to the impact caused by Burizalor. Burizalor got to his feet and turned to face Omega X.
"Damn you to hell!"
Burizalor quickly phased out and started hammering away at Omega X once again. Omega X easily moves away and avoids getting hit from one of Burizalor's punches. Omega X punches Burizalor right in the face. The two met up in the air as Burizalor starts punching away at Omega X. Omega X flies down and spears himself into Burizalor as they went through several rocky ledges that were close by. Soon those rocky ledges exploded due to the amount of power that they were using from their auras.
Both fighters got to their feet. Burizalor got up and turned to see Omega X kick him right in the face. Then he follows it up by punching him. Burizalor takes advantage and nails a fist into the gut of Omega X. Omega X goes flying back as Burizalor goes after him. Burizalor pulls his fists back and nails an elbow into Omega X. He goes flying down but phases out quickly. Burizalor looks around and tries to pick up Omega X's power level but he was able to hide it. This allowed him to get behind Burizalor. Burizalor turned around and was met with a fist into the chest. The force of the fist was driven so hard into Burizalor's chest that the impact caused him to cough out a ton of blood. Burizalor goes doubling over and he shoots out several beams at Omega X. Omega X goes flying right at Burizalor and misses a fist. Burizalor punches Omega X right in the gut as the force of the impact caused him to cough out some blood as well. Fists were being traded between the two fighters and blood was being drawn as a result of the fighting.
The force of their fighting caused tremendous impact on the environment surrounding them. The lands were shattered by the mass and lava was spewing out of the ground. The negative energy was quickly taking its toll upon the dying landscape.
Meanwhile, as the four guardians were keeping close contact of the battle by reading each other's minds, the Dig-Destined sat around looking for things to do while waiting for any news concerning Tai and Agumon.
Matt and Gabumon sat behind a tree and looked to see what the others were doing. Mimi was in the middle of the group as she had gathered leaves. She laid several of them on the ground. TK had watched at what she was doing.
"Hey Mimi, what are you doing?" TK asked, "What's with all the leaves?"
"I'm about to make a fortune with these leaves. It's a way for me to predict things."
"How does it work?"
"Well I take these leaves and burn them. This is a way to see if the traveler, who for example is Tai at the moment, will return safely to his loved ones."
"Oh wow. Show me."
"Alright. All we need is a lighter or some form of fire."
"Allow me," Biyomon said, "Spiral Twister!"
She shoots out her respective attack and watches it burn the leaves.
"There, now once they burn up they will tell us that the traveler will indeed return."
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by and it put out the fire. The leaves were nothing more than dried up pieces of ashes and dust. TK and Mimi gasped at what they saw. This meant that the traveler wasn't going to return. This may have been an indication of what may happen.
"Oh no! No! Don't do this to me wind!"
"Oh no… This doesn't look good. Not at all."
"Fortune telling is nothing but nonsense," Kari said, "I know for a fact that my brother is coming. Just you wait and see!"
A smile formed across the face of Sora after hearing what Kari had just said. She was for sure that Tai was going to return safe and sound and didn't buy into that fortune telling rubbish. She relied on fate alone and nothing else. Kari has the same strong traits as her brother does, a heart of courage.
"Yeah! You're right! He will come back," Mimi said.
"No doubt about that. We don't need any fortune telling to let us know when Tai is going to return."
(Bad Blood by Ministry from The Matrix soundtrack plays)
Meanwhile, back in the dark dimension, the fight continued on as the two super powers traded blows and more blows until the land around them was starting to shatter away. Burizalor and Omega X flew up. They hammered away at each other and phased out. Then there were two flashing lights colliding with one another across the darkened skies.
Omega X flies down and turns around to see Burizalor and nails him with a fist to the face. Burizalor goes flying up and powering up. Omega X goes flying right at Burizalor and pulls his fist back. Burizalor ducks under and punches Omega X in the gut. Omega X goes doubling over and holds his chest. Burizalor phases out and appears from behind Omega X. He then applies a bear hug and held a tight grip onto Omega X.
Omega X attempted to break free but the grip that Burizalor had on him was far too great. Omega X drives an elbow into Burizalor's gut. Burizalor goes staggering and his eyes widen from the pain. Omega X does it a few more times as Burizalor began coughing blood and staggering back even more. Burizalor was wobbly as his eyes were widening after every elbow shot into his gut. The force of the elbow's impact met with the exposed gut and chest of Burizalor.
Omega X drives an elbow into Burizalor one last time as the evil tyrant goes flying back into several nearby canyons. Omega X stopped in place and got into a fighting stance. He waited for his adversary to rise out of the rubble. Burizalor quickly gets to his feet and his eyes widen in rage. He faced Omega X and was about to attack.
"You maybe strong but you're still a stupid animal!"
Burizalor goes flying right at Omega X and elbows him in the face. Omega X goes flying back from the impact and watches as Burizalor appears above Omega X and kicks him right in the face. Then Burizalor appears behind him and drives an elbow into the spine of Omega X. He goes flying back and hits the ground with tremendous force. Burizalor hovered down and was catching his breath.
"See? You're just a brainless beast."
Slowly but surely, Omega X got to his feet and turned to face Burizalor.
"Burizalor…"
"What!"
"I maybe a brainless brute but I'm not a heartless monster like you!"
"You're going to regret calling me that!"
Burizalor goes flying right at Omega X with his fist about to deck him right in the face. But Omega X was able to duck under and pull his fist back. He drives his fist into the lower abdomen of Burizalor. Burizalor doubles over as he coughed out more blood and fell to his knees.
Burizalor was attempting to regain his composure and looked up to see his adversary looking down upon him. Omega X was giving him a death glare and Burizalor was shaking with anger. He smashed the ground with his fist, easily denting the ground. Burizalor turns around behind him and turns to see Omega X. He had already phased behind the evil tyrant. Then he delivers a kick to the face of Burizalor. Burizalor goes flying back and into a nearby canyon. Omega X landed on a nearby rock ledge and looked down upon the fallen rubble. He watches Burizalo. The mad man was down and out. He sensed that the evil tyrant power wasn't gone just yet. He watched as Burizalor was getting to his feet. He was coughing out more blood and watched as Omega X quickly phased out. And to his shock, Omega X was already in front of him. Burizalor flips away and attempts to get away but Omega X is there to meet him from behind. Burizalor flies up and sees Omega X in the air. Then he phases out onto a top of a rocky ledge and there to follow him was Omega X. Each time Burizalor has phased out to a different location, Omega X was there to meet him.
Burizalor phases behind a large rock and attempts to hide for the moment so that he can gather energy. But behind the other side of the rock was Omega X. Burizalor felt his tremendous power and punches the rock as it shatters into pieces. His anger has now taken into new heights.
(End theme)
"You think this is funny! Toying with me!"
Burizalor goes running at Omega X and throws in several punches at him but Omega X maneuvers away from each punch. Burizalor stops as he attempts to catch his breath.
"No Burizalor. There is absolutely nothing funny about this."
(Random Dragonball Z battle music plays)
Omega X winds up and drives his fist into the Burizalor's gut once again as the evil tyrant fell to his knees and gasped for air. He tried to get to his feet and when he looks up he would see Omega X looking down upon him. He has realized that his power was no match for Omega X but he did not want to admit defeat at the hands of a digimon that would be considered a mere mortal in his view.
Burizalor got to his feet and goes for a uppercut but Omega X is there to meet him with a punch to the face. Burizalor goes flying back. Both fighters fly and punch away at each other. Omega X jump kicks Burizalor in the face but Burizalor ducks under and goes for a kick. Omega X kicks Burizalor in the face and sends him flying back into another canyon ledge. The two blasted beams at each other and they were able to deflect their respective beams. The two warriors faced each other as they landed on canyon ledges.
Burizalor and Omega X jumped up at the same time and flew right at each other. Burizalor unscathed his claws out while Omega X unscathed a sword out. They collided with one another and a bright flash flares as the two collided with one another. Burizalor turns to face him and watches Omega X flies right at him again. They clashed and sparks were flaring during their on going struggle.
Both flew away from each other. Omega X holds out his sword as Burizalor holds out his hands and fires away several beams at him. Omega X forms a force field as his shield and blocks away the shots being fired at him. Burizalor fires more shots but Omega X's shield was able to deflect some more. The shots were being sent right back to Burizalor but the evil tyrant phased away to avoid his own blasts.
Burizalor phased out and began circling Omega X and shooting out more blasts. Omega X used his shield to block them out. Burizalor phases out and flies right at a momentarily distracted Omega X and punches him right in the gut.
Burizalor goes and flies right at Omega X again but this time Omega X was able to phase out quickly to avoid being hammered down. Burizalor looked around and started to pick up some strong energy just near him. He turns to see Omega X.
Burizalor fires more shots but Omega X goes flying up and starts to power up. He goes flying down like a torpedo. But Burizalor fires more shots at him. Omega X keeps his concentration on his target. The two collided with one another a huge explosion takes place and canyons around them started to explode and shatter away.
Burizalor and Omega X punched and kicked away at each other as explosions started to occur all around them. Lava was sprouting and lands were sinking into the magma oceans. The two fighters jumped away from each other and faced each other. Both were catching their breath. Burizalor was getting as angry as ever as the ground around him was starting to cave into the bottom.
"All that you have done to me! I will return it back you ten times! No! A thousand times! You stupid digimon! I'm not going to give up just yet at beating you!"
Omega X sighed and nodded his head.
"It's done."
"Huh! What do you are saying!"
Azulongmon was caught by surprise at what he heard. His eyes were widened and turned to face the Digi-Destined.
"Digi-Destined. The fight might very well be over."
"HUH!"
X was just as stunned by the announcement made from Omega X. He had expected him to deal the final blow to Burizalor, but it was not to be.
"It's over? I can't believe this!" X said. "Tai! You're making a mistake! You can't let this guy off that easy!"
Keke and the trio listened to X's words. They couldn't believe what had just occurred.
Burizalor was even more surprised and he clenched his fists. His rage was now reaching into new heights.
"You just said that it was done! What do you mean!"
"Your energy level is depleting after each blow. In fact, you aren't even a challenge anymore. I'm satisfied now. I have destroyed your pride. You lost to a worthy fighter. Now admit defeat!"
"No! You didn't win!"
"It wouldn't be right to continue this fight. You are too scared and ashamed. Live with the loss. It's going to be going through your mind for the rest of your life. Now go back to where ever it is you came from and think about what you have done. There's no point in killing you when I know I can beat you."
Burizalor was shaking with rage and refused to listen to what Omega X was saying to him.
"Goodbye, Burizalor. Never cause mischief again. May you live the rest of your life in peace and leave the Digital World alone."
Omega X goes flying up and was going to find a way out of the dark dimension and make his way back to the Digital World. But Burizalor was getting angry as ever. His rage had taken over and a disc was forming in his hand.
"No! I shall never! Never! Ever! Be DEFEATED!"
(Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine plays in the background)
Burizalor tosses the discs right at Omega X and watches as it slices at his side. Omega X stood still for a moment and turned back to face him. A cruel smile formed across the face of Burizalor. Omega X returned a furious glare back to the evil tyrant.
"You really are a helpless coward! You attack me from behind. I let you live and forget this whole ordeal. But this is how you REPAY me! Now you seriously have PISSED me off for the last time!"
Omega X powered up as a red glow was forming all around him. His eyes were giving off a dark red glare and he looked down upon Burizalor. He cried out in anger as more power was being restored to his body.
Burizalor twirled his hands around and watched as the disc was flying all around Omega X. Omega X used his speed to out run it and attempt to get away before he gets sliced in half by the disk.
"I will never admit defeat to you! I shall have you head by the end of this battle! I will taste your very own blood and declare victory! It's only a matter of time. But even if you do beat me, you won't have time to escape the dark dimension since it's due to implode at any minute now. Your thirty minutes of fame is almost up. We'll both die together."
"So be it! If it means to save the Digital World and my world, I will sacrifice myself for the sake of others! Believe me, this battle is not over! There can only be one champion! We fight to the finish and we shall continue in limbo once the time of death comes for the both of us!"
Burizalor watched as his disc was following Omega X's every movement. Something would go down and there will only be one survivor!
The dark dimension was beginning to look like a wasteland as the minutes pass by. Tons of poisonous smoke came spewing out of the ground and the land started to shatter away by the masses. Lava was starting to surface and piling over the tons of rock that were left. Lighting and tornadoes were becoming increasingly common.
There was a large hole forming and it was beginning to suck up every thing in its path. It looks like as if it were the actual black hole.
Meanwhile, the battle raged on as Burizalor used one of his last resort attacks on Omega X. Omega X was flying away to avoid the deadly discs that Burizalor was just using. If these discs were to hit Omega X, it would easily slice him in half like a knife slicing an onion.
Omega X flies up and watches as the disc was swarming all around him. He flies down and lets the disc come right after him. He then lures himself towards Burizalor. His plan was to get as closer enough to Burizalor as possible and have the disc slice him instead. It wouldn't be easy, but who said that it would be easy.
Omega X flies right at Burizalor and lures the disc forwards. Omega X flies up and Burizalor sees the disc coming right for him. Burizalor holds out his hand and pushes it back up. He controls the disc by using hand movements and sends it hurtling towards Omega X once again.
"I got to fly as fast as I can so that I can lure the discs over to Burizalor and cut it to slice him in half. Its not going to be easy but who ever said it was going to be easy when you fight this guy."
Omega X flies up once again and watched as the disc follows his every move. He goes flying down and lures it towards Burizalor once again.
"What's he trying to pull? So he wants to lure my own discs so that I can be sliced in half. As if I'm stupid enough to get sliced by my own attack."
Omega X once again flies towards Burizalor with the disc right hot on his tail.
"You'll have to be much more clever than that!" Burizalor said.
Omega X flies up and watches as the disc goes right through him and his body starting to spli in half.
"Yes! I gotcha!"
But soon, Burizalor came to realize that Omega X had phased out of the way just in time at the very last second before he would have gotten sliced in half. Burizalor turned around and saw Omega X standing on a rocky ledge.
"Yo! You looking for me?"
Burizalor summons his disc back and holds it in the palm of his hand.
"Wow, I must say that you managed to pull off such a clever trick. Not bad for a brainless piece of data."
"I don't understand why you call us digimon by such mindless names. You're only showing your own fear and ignorance."
"What? How dare you!"
(End theme)
"I guess name calling is your only attack. Cause your too weak to challenge me any other way."
Burizalor was beginning to get a little pissed off at what Omega X had just said to him. He has never been insulted back by anyone before and wasn't going to let Omega X get away without Burizalor himself getting the last laugh.
"Nobody talks to me like that!"
Explosions started to occur all around the two fighters. Lava and molten rock started spewing out of the ground. The skies were getting more pitch black with a little red glow to add to the heat that was beginning to consume the environment. No light was able to save this dimension since only darkness is common in this very dimension.
Tornadoes started to suck away at fallen rubble and hurricanes started to occur. The lava was soon becoming a magma ocean as a result of the devastation.
"Hmm. So my energy wasn't enough to put you away? Ok, very well then. I'll just have to use something else in mind. We'll use these!"
The energy disc faded away. Two swords replaced the disc in exchange. He pointed them towards Omega X.
"Like the energy disc I just used earlier, these swords will follow your every movement. Its time to double the fun now! So are you up for it!"
"As you wish, Burizalor."
A smile formed across the face of Burizalor as he waved his hands forward and watched his swords coming right for Omega X. Omega X flew away and watched as the swords were coming right for him. Burizalor waved his hands around in order to make his swords follow Omega X's every movement. The swords will follow him and attempt to stab him to death. No matter where he flies off.
"Yes. It's only a matter of time. You're going to die, Omega X! Victory shall be mine at last! And soon, I'll destroy both your real world and the Digital World! Ha! Ha!"
Omega X flew up into the darkened skies in order to avoid the swords. He flew right through the smoke and attempted to hide there but to his surprise, the two swords found him and went to crisis cross attack him but Omega X was able to phase out quickly.
Burizalor kept his maniacal 'game face' on and continued to have his way with Omega X with his brand new technique.
Azulongmon watched the battle take place through his mind and gasped.
"What's wrong now, Azulongmon?" asked Izzy.
"Something bad has happened, hasn't it?" Kari asked with worry in the tone of her voice.
"Omega X is beating Burizalor. He might make it through after all."
"Oh yeah! That's so awesome!" cried out TK.
"That means that he's going to beat Burizalor!" said Joe.
"Yes. In the end, Burizalor will realize that his power is nowhere near Omega X's and will eventually be defeated. But that's not the important issue."
The children started to worry even more. He was about to remind them about one other flaw to the fateful battle.
"Even if he does beat Burizalor, there won't be any time for him to escape the dark dimension! Its due to implode at any minute," said Azulongmon, "It's not fair that things had to end this way. I really hoped that the Digi-Destined of Courage would have been here at this very moment."
"Not good at all!" Sora said, "That means we'll never see him again."
"Let's not be too hasty," Leomon said, "You are forgetting that he is the leader of the Digi-Destined. He has been known to escape even the most devastating situations. He's managed to escape through many obstacles before and escaping the dark dimension is now different. Right now, he has Burizalor up against the ropes. He can beat him at any given opportunity and escape the dark dimension. He has a knack for doing this and he will make it through. I just know he will."
"But what if he doesn't?" asked Kari.
"We just can't think like that. We have to believe in Tai and hope that he makes it through."
There was silence among the group until Matt interrupted.
"Nonsense. If Tai goes, there's always a replacement for him. And I think I fit as the perfect leader of the Digi-Destined, since it was I took care of you all while Tai and Agumon were out healing with their injuries. I speak on behalf of Tai and I think he would agree. I have the quality traits and I have what it takes to be a leader."
Matt lies back on the grass.
"That's if Tai makes it back and there's no doubt he will."
"Don't try go all sucking up to Tai now, Matt! You're just still eager to be the leader for your own selfish pride! I can't believe that you're ego has gotten way out of hand even at hard times such as this."
"Sora if you just shut up, maybe I can explain my reasoning to all this."
There was a hushed silence amongst the group, but Sora kept a glare on Matt.
"Now as I was saying, you should all agree that I had great leadership skills while Tai was gone. I pretty much lead Metal Garurumon to fighting Burizalor all by myself. I didn't see any of you getting your hands dirty when I was getting pummeled. Then there was hope when Tai and War Greymon came along. But they were too late to save me. Now it is my time to step out of the shadows and prove without a shadow of a doubt that I am as good as a leader as Tai and a very respectable one. I can look back at what Burizalor was telling. At first, I believed that creep."
Flashback
On board the spaceship of the tyrant, Burizalor was sitting in his hovercraft chair and watched Matt from around the corner of his eye. The boy was looking out into space with Gabumon by his side.
"Hmmm?"
"I've witnessed your digimon defeat some difficult opposition in the digital world and your own world."
"Oh so you've been spying on me, huh!"
"No, Yamato. I can witness your battles through my mind. I can sense any type of activity in the Digital World within a blink of an eye."
"After being recruited by you, I expected you to be more intimidating. Gennai told me a little about yourself once we came back to the digital world."
"Oh he did? What did that old fool say about me?"
"That you're a ruthless monster who enjoys killing others and destroying homes for your own selfish deeds! You don't give a damn who gets in your way and you obviously don't give a damn how valuable the Digital World really is. It's not some place where you can exploit your sick games! You have hurt too many lives already!"
"Your speech is putting me to sleep, but I understand where you're coming from. Yes, it is true. You are correct on some points. I am ruthless and I don't give a rat's ass about this worthless Digital World. To me, this is like a game. I'm just using it to my own advantage. But you see there are reasons."
"Why!"
"My, my. You're so full of questions aren't you, Yamato? Well I might as well answer them for you. You see, I came here to take my rightful sport as ruler of many worlds. I destroyed other worlds and I have claimed my rights in conquering them. When I learned about this world, I was thrilled to see what it would offer me. But I was sealed away by the four Holy Beasts of the Digital World. My armies were able to seal away the four Holy Beasts, this gave me the chance to return. I was told that the four Digital Cores were scattered. I would then locate them. Once all four is collected then the person in possession of them will gain an immortal status of the Digital World. I knew I would become a god. Once that would be accomplished, I can venture into your Earth world and continue on where Myotismon left off."
"So you sent Myotismon to Earth!"
"Myotismon had other agendas in mind. While he desired to become ruler of two worlds, I plan to conquer more worlds. As you know, there are other worlds besides my own, your world and the Digital World. They will all belong to me!"
"But why!"
"Easy, I was destined to. I lead by example and I want everyone to fear my presence. No human or digimon stands a chance against me. Even the strongest of digimon were wiped out by my power within seconds, so what makes you think that you Digi-Destined can defeat me?"
"We work together! That's why! We defeated other enemies by working together!"
"Yes. Devimon, Etemon and Myotismon were all threats. But they are just merely low-class warriors compared to me. I'm a warlord of evil, but I'm not here to fight you. I want to make an offer."
"I'm listening."
"Why don't you join me? You don't seem like the hero type, not after the way you desire power. You ordered your digimon to kill some of my henchmen with a cold passion. You thrive on power just like me. You desire to be better than the one called Taichi."
"Tai..."
"Yes, Taichi is the one you hate. You made the right choice by joining forces with me. You can learn a lot and you can achieve more than you already have. You can live like a god."
"Like a god. Me?"
"Yes. You have ice running through your veins much like myself. You can be the highest ranking soldier and become the highest power, second only to mine."
"Second only to yours."
Matt stood there frozen. He couldn't make a decision. He didn't want to remain a second to Tai and remain in the shadow of him. But at the same time, he didn't want to betray his friends. This was too hard for him. Burizalor began circling like a vulture. His presence made Matt show fear but he tried not to show it.
"Well, Yamato? I'm waiting."
"Burizalor..."
"Yes?"
"I accept..."
"Then, it's settled. Our alliance has been formed."
End of Flashback
"I joined Burizalor's forces. I wanted to back at Tai for what I thought was kidnapping TK. I was brainwashed. Eventually you guys defeated me. I eventually looked back and regretted everything I did. I rejoined you guys and rebelled against that monster."
Flashback
"What the hell is your deal, Burizalor! He was too weak to even attack."
"It was the only way to shut his damn mouth."
"You're going to regret that!"
"Matt!" TK cried as he ran up to his brother.
Tai and TK crowded around the fallen Matt. TK covered his eyes at what he saw. There was a large hole in Matt's chest, but Matt was strong enough to hold back on the pain.
"TK. Stay back," Tai ordered and wanted to make sure that the little boy would not see the damage inflicted on Matt. "Matt. It's going to be okay, buddy. Oh man. You're bleeding to death. Just hang it in there, dude."
Matt slowly nodded his head and looked up at Tai. Tears came running down his face.
"Tai. I'm sorry..."
"Huh, why?"
"I was such a fool... I tried to be a good leader just like you, but I wasn't able to succeed…Metal Garurumon and I tried our best to hold him off…"
"And you did your best. You're a proud member of the Digi-Destined. You did the right thing. You know, I always thought you were just some egomaniac looking to take my spot by force. But you really proved to be a true leader in my absence."
"No… Tai, I failed… I don't deserve the crest of friendship… As you can see I'm dying… I underestimated Burizalor's power…"
"We didn't expect this creep to have this large amount of power either but he showed it to us and now it's time we put him in his place."
"TK thinks I'm a bad brother… Sora hates me…"
"Don't say that, dude. Man, I don't know why you're being hard on yourself. Look, you did me a favor. And you did yourself a favor. TK is proud to have you as your brother. You and Metal Garurumon protected him. You protected Sora."
"Yes, but Joe and Izzy are down… All because of my irresponsibility."
"It's not your fault. As you can see, they're fine and recovering. So why don't you get all that negativity out of your system and fight the pain. Maybe the last amount of power of your crest should help."
"No, it's wasted… Just like myself… Just look at Burizalor, Tai… Look at him… He enjoys inflicting pain… He loves seeing others in pain… He thrives on killing… He's proud of it… Tai… You and War Greymon are our only hopes… You two must defeat Burizalor before he takes over both worlds…"
With that being said, Matt let out his last breath and closed his eyes. His body stopped quivering and he died. Tai kneeled over his body and a few teardrops were coming down his face. TK looked over his brother and started to let out more tears.
End of Flashback
"So what do you say? I think I could fit the definition of a good leader."
The other Digi-Destined were pretty silent due to the fact they were more worried about Tai and Agumon.
"I think you could make a good leader," TK said, "But it's just not the same without Tai around. We need him in order for the team to remain a strong unit. Know what I mean?"
"Yes and I appreciate your opinion."
Sora looked up and was beginning to think about Tai for the moment.
"Oh Tai. Please come back..."
Omega X was maneuvering around to avoid the swords that were coming right for him. He spun over and watched as Burizalor was holding up his arms. He was chuckling at the sight of Omega X being chased off by two swords. One slice from these swords will spell disaster for the victim and it could spell disaster if Omega X doesn't avoid them in time.
"I hope you keep running Omega X, because I would really hate to see you slices into pieces," Burizalor said with a cruel and sadistic tone in his harsh voice.
He smiled and waved his arms back. The swords came right for Omega X as he was standing there. He quickly phased our just in time to avoid the swords.
"When will you ever learn, Burizalor!"
Omega X phases out. He starts to fly towards Burizalor and leads the swords right along with him.
"Oh please! Not this stupid routine again!"
Omega X held out his hands and shot out a powerful blast at him. Burizalor deflected it off and an explosion occurred. Omega X phases out and as the smoke clears, the swords were coming right for Burizalor. But Burizalor was able to jump up and avoid the swords just in time. He had avoided being stabbed to death.
"Ugh! Nothing but a lucky shot! Now where did that idiot go!"
Just as Burizalor was about to make his next move, he looked up and saw Omega X delivering a devastating elbow shot into the head of Burizalor. Burizalor cried out as his eyes widened and blood came spitting out of his mouth.
Burizalor regains his composure but his vision was going bad. He goes for several punches but Omega X was able to maneuver away from each shot. Burizalor throws in a punch but Omega X stops him in time. Omega X holds Burizalor's hands and Burizalor goes for kicks instead. But Omega X was still able to maneuver away from the kicks. Omega X elbowed Burizalor right in the gut and starts punching Burizalor's head as if it were a punching bag. Burizalor's head goes bouncing back and forth from each punch being thrown.
Omega X nails Burizalor from behind and kicks him right in the face. Burizalor goes flying down. Omega X follows him down. Burizalor watches as Omega X drives an elbow into the gut of Burizalor. The evil tyrant goes flying down into the ground. Burizalor managed to stop himself in time as the impact caused a huge hole to form. He was quickly regaining his breath.
"It's time to finish this fight once and for all!"
Burizalor comes flying out of the hole. Omega X stops and watches as the two swords were coming from behind Burizalor. Burizalor hadn't noticed yet.
"Hey! Look out behind you! Get down now! They're coming right at you!"
Burizalor turns to look and was about to jump away but he was too late to do so. He watched as the one sword stabbed him right in the chest and the other stabbed him right through his right leg. Pain erupted throughout his whole body as blood started to spew out from his wounds.
"No… My own… attacks…"
The swords held Burizalor down to the ground as if he were a trapped game animal. Omega X had tried to warn him to avoid getting stabbed by his own ongoing attacks. But it was too late to even save him.
"Oh my goddramon… Can it be!" Azulongmon said.
"What is it, Azulongmon?" asked Sora.
"It's my brother. He's been defeated, hasn't he?" Kari cried.
"Well no… Lets just say that Burizalor is not his usual self. He's kind of tangled at the moment."
X gasped in disbelief and wipes the sweat from his forehead. He had just witnessed the shocking turn of events. A smile crept over his face.
"Way to nail it to him, Tai. Now that's letting that bitch have a taste of his own medicine!"
Burizalor was suffering from tremendous pain from the swords. Their sharp points had penetrated through parts of his skin. Blood was dripping to the ground and he was losing consciousness because of the large amounts of blood loss.
"In reality, you brought this all on yourself. It's a shame your life had to end this way in such a miserable way. I tried helping you but you didn't listen. Now you can die with this world, your so called home turf," Omega X said.
Burizalor was coughing up more blood and was unable to move parts of his body.
"I'm tired of fighting you. Goodbye, Burizalor."
Omega X started to walk away across the desolated landscape that was slowly being decimated because of the radical forces such as lighting, tornadoes, volcanic explosions and earthquakes. More rocky ledges were tumbling and falling into the magma oceans.
Just then, Burizalor was able to move his head a bit and he looked up at Omega X with his eyes barely opening.
"Wait… Don't leave me here like this… Don't go…"
Omega X stopped just in time and began to hear Burizalor's pleas. He was thinking about everything that Burizalor had done during the whole battle and the crimes that he has committed that he wasn't sorry for."
"Please… Don't go…"
Omega X clenched his fists in anger and looked like he was about to attack Burizalor.
"Please… Have mercy…"
"Mercy! Is that all you can say! After everything that you have done! And you expect me to take pity on you! Did you spare mercy when you killed Matt and even my best friend, Sora!"
"Please… Don't leave me here… Please… Forgive me…"
Omega X walked on over back to Burizalor and pulled out the swords out of his mangled body. He threw the two swords down and looked down upon the evil tyrant, whose body was blood-soaked at the moment.
"I managed to get your swords out of your body. You should be able to move now. If you want to get out of here, then you're on your own."
Omega X starts walking away and decides to start looking for a gateway to escape the dark dimension. Burizalor was still lying on the ground with two large wounds on his body.
The landscape was slowly dying away. Now there were only a few moments before the dark dimension explodes. More landscapes were sinking into the bottom of the magma oceans. Magma oceans were flowing over the remaining landscape and eating it up like a hungry and vicious animal.
The dark dimension was beginning to look like what earth may have looked like during its birth years. It was a molten lava-based environment with very little life and barely any air to breath.
"Ok believe it or not, but Omega X helped Burizalor free of his own attacks! I don't know why he did that but that was a fatal mistake on his part!" Azulongmon roared."Burizalor is weakened and the dark dimension is soon going to implode."
The group was now getting really anxious due to the fact that they might lose their leader at the hands of a dying dimension.
"Come back, big brother!" Kari cried out, "We need you back with us! Please… Come back safely…"
Omega X started walking across and looks up into the darkened skies. All he could ever think about is returning back home to see his loved ones.
Burizalor was slowly getting to his feet with the two wounds already causing him to be in such a weakened state. Omega X turned to face him.
Burizalor has been stabbed down by his own attacks. Now a vulnerable monster, how will he fare against Omega X now? But will Omega X make it back to the Digital World in time before the whole place implodes?

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Omega X Puts an End to Burizalor! The Dark Dimension Implodes, Are Tai and Agumon Really Gone?!
Lava was already covering most of the landscape and volcanoes were sprouting from every direction. Lighting and hurricanes were quickly becoming increasingly common. The dark dimension is due to implode at any given minutes. Everything is set for 'armageddon' to occur.
Omega X stood around and looked upon his fallen adversary. Burizalor was slowly getting to his feet with his arm and chest all cut open. Tons of blood was dripping from his wounds. His eyes were locked with Omega X's. He still retained the hatred for him for humiliating him. Omega X growled and started to walk away.
Burizalor was slowly getting to his feet and regaining his composure. He barely had any power left and half of his masked face was already damaged from during the battle. He started walking towards Omega X. Omega X turned to face him.
"Where do you think you're going, Taichi? Don't you realize that you're at the end of the line? There's no way out for you. All hopes of you making out of here alive have become much slimmer and slimmer. So you know just about everything. What do you expect me to do now?"
"I don't give a damn what you do. You can stay and rot here for all I care. You could just get out of here so that you can leave. That way you can have enough time to think about everything that you have done."
"What about you? There's no way you're going to make it out of here."
"I'll find a way. Just you wait and see. My friends are calling for me to return and I shall do so."
"Not as long as you're trapped here. There's no way out for you, my friend."
The darkness of the landscape started to quickly spread across. Just about every source of light was slowly fading away and air supplies were quickly depleting as a result.
*****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon looked towards the other guardians.
"Things aren't looking good in the dark dimension. It is set to implode at any given opportunity. If only we could do something to pull Omega X out of there. If only the cores had enough energy to create another portal big enough to bring Omega X back but at the same time keep Burizalor out and to keep him in his dark dimensional vortex where he belongs."
"If only the cores had enough power," Zhuqiaomon replied, "If we lose the Digi-Destined of Courage then any hopes of gaining the perfect warrior is lost. He was the destined being to fuse with his digimon."
"Oh big brother," Kari said, "What if he never makes it out?"
Sora then said, "He's going to make it through. Burizalor is said to be begging for mercy if he got beat by Omega X. I know Tai and Agumon would be crazy enough to continue the fight. They never leave a battle without finishing it. And it's no better for Burizalor to come back and hunt us down for the rest of our lives."
"That's a relief," TK said, "Tai is doing us a favor and he wants us all to return home safely. Besides, I have not lost hope yet! He's going to make it back home. I can't guarantee it, but I am just assuming and hoping. My crest of hope will help us remain strong-minded during this time of crisis."
The other children were surprised at hearing little TK use such big and mature words of speech. This was an indication that he was quickly growing up, just as his brother had hoped in the first place. If anybody has matured a lot during the whole digimon adventure, it has been TK. While Tai and Matt may have been the strongest members of the group, TK was the toughest and the quickest to mature. He went from being a sacred crybaby to a young courageous boy who developed some adult attributes. He's replied more on his friends than his family during the whole adventure but will do anything to protect his family from such threats as Burizalor, Myotismon, Etemon and even, Devimon.
"He's right," Mimi said, "If he is willing to remain strong. Then I will too. I may have been a crybaby and a spoiled brat at first, but that's because that's how I was when you first met me. Since then, I've learned new responsibilities and I'm always here to help at the time of need. Believe me, I've also matured as well. Though, I can be a little whiny at times but I remained a strong-hearted person and will protect my family as long as I live."
"Me too," Joe said as he stood up. "Gomamon maybe a little wise crack but he's really helped me become a more responsible person. That is why I possess the Crest of Reliability. I am here to look out the safety of the others. I may not be as strong as Tai and Matt, but if there's anything, I definitely have the reliable skills to be a reliable Digi-Destined."
"I managed to use my knowledge to get us out of sticky situations," Izzy said, "I definitely have the brains of the group. And if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have gotten you all out of dangerous predicaments. It was I who lended a hand in finding out the correct cards during the time Myotismon's castle was going to cave in on us."
"And that we are proud to have a boy with tons of knowledge. I admire you for your curiosity," Tentomon said.
"As the possessor of the crest of love," Sora said, "I use my love to show that I really do care for you all. That's why I kind of mother you all around during times of grief. And TK, when you said that you didn't miss your mom as much when you were around me, it really meant something to me. Maybe it will teach me to become a responsible parent one day. I know for a fact that my mother loves me, no matter how much she wants me to give up on something like soccer. She shows that she cares for my safety."
The Digi-Destined's grief were slowly fading away. Suddenly, the symbols of their crests activated from their chests. They were amazed at what they saw and the symbols shot out beams of light towards the floating cores. They gave the cores more power to add for the guardians.
"Digi-Destined, because of you displaying your emotions, the symbols of your crests were able to surface and give us the power we needed to restore power to the cores," Azulongmon said.
"Yeah. This happened to me before," Joe said, "Right after we lost out crests to Burizalor. I thought for sure that we lost them after he crushed them, but I realized that the symbol of my crest was a part of me. I didn't need the power of my crest anymore. It was within me this whole time."
"Then they must represent ourselves," replied Sora, "That's so cool."
"Prodigious. Like Joe's Crest of Reliability and my knowledge."
"My crest of friendship. I still have mine but I agree with you all. I felt the power within me when I told Gabumon to digivolve. It is a part of our traits. The crests mean nothing, so we don't need them anymore."
"And that's the reason why he and Agumon fused," Azulongmon said, "After their crest was destroyed by Burizalor. They were building up some kind of power within them. It was the power of their crest of courage that enabled them to fuse into the fused warrior known as Omega X. The crests didn't matter anymore and Agumon can mega digivolve into War Greymon at any moment as long as Tai believes in his courage and the symbol of his crest shall surface and give Agumon that power. It's a simple but a very rare occurrence. And now, Omega X is battling the evil Burizalor as a way to build up his courage. The more he fights, the stronger they shall become. But they must hurry, because the dark dimension is set to blow at any given moment."
The Digi-Destined remained strong and their chests were glowing their respective crest symbols. They started to give more power to the cores. The digimon sat around and watched their human partners go to work and full as much energy as they can to refill the cores to make them active once again. This was any last chance to create a portal just in time to save Omega X.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile back at the dark dimension, Burizalor was approaching Omega X as began clenching his fists. Omega X growled angrily and started walking off into the desolated landscape.
"So where are you going? Aren't you going to attempt to blast open and break free out of this hell. Or maybe you'll start dancing around and hoping for the next portal to appear so that you can get back home. Well what's it going to be? You don't have enough energy to even create a portal for yourself. You can't even use my ship since it has been destroyed. Is going to be a really tough choice for you to make. Time is running out."
Omega X turns to face him as a look of worry started to form across his face. Burizalor began laughing at him.
"It's quite ironic really, because it's going to be you that actually gets to witness his own death in person. I'll say this, so much for the awesome power of fusion. Heh, you can't even beat a dead dimension."
"Maybe not. But it was enough in beating you, Burizalor."
Omega X flew up and attempted to find a portal by air. Burizalor looked up and kept his eyes on him. Suddenly, flashbacks of the entire fight started to repeat over and over again in his mind. Burizalor was clenching his fists and clenching his teeth. He could even hear Omega X's own words during the battle's conclusion.
"It's done."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that you're losing a large amount of energy. You aren't even a challenge anymore. It wouldn't be fair to continue fighting you."
"Grrr! Nothing but computer data scum!"
Then he began to visualize the whole battle against War Greymon in his mind.
Flashbacks
Burizalor felt a gust of powerful wind rush by him. He stopped for a moment to see who it was. The other Digi-Destined turned to see who it was that appeared.
Before them, War Greymon was standing there with Tai at his side. The others were happy to see him and they jumped for joy.
Burizalor turned to see War Greymon. Then he turned to face Tai.
"So you must be Burizalor. Your the one responsible for the horrible chains of events that have occurred in the Digital World." "Well. It's been a great chain of events, don't you think, huh?"
Later...
War Greymon cried out, "You maybe a million times stronger than me, Burizalor. But I won't let my friends down. So get ready, cause I'm going all out on you! Ten times my normal power!"
Burizalor suddenly felt a rush of energy coming from War Greymon. The heroic digimon started to power up as a bright orange aura formed around him. Burizalor started to show a little anxiousness but he was ready for anything that War Greymon was going to throw at him.
Suddenly War Greymon phases out quickly and decks Burizalor right in the face. War Greymon goes flying right at Burizalor and goes for another fist to the face. But Burizalor was able to fly up. War Greymon put his hands back and pushed them forward and shot out a powerful beam.
"Terra Beam!"
Burizalor watched as the beam was coming right at him. He couldn't phase out nor could he blast it away. He put his hands out and attempted to stop it and push it back.
"Mach Speed Times 10!"
War Greymon put more power into the beam and made it push right back at Burizalor. Then the beam hit Burizalor as a huge explosion took place.
The smoke cleared away and Burizalor was hovering up with his hand extended out. He shook furiously as he noticed some cuts and scratches on his hand. He looked down at War Greymon and was growling with sheer anger.
Then...
Burizalor looked down at War Greymon and concern was overcoming him.
"Where did this one come from? I've never seen such a digimon such as him. He's somehow different from the rest. Strange. How could such a digimon generate this much strength? I must take this mutant out once and for all."
Burizalor looked at his hand. It was covered from cuts and scratches after pushing back that tremendous ki-blast that War Greymon shot at him. He looked down at War Greymon and his expression showed a lot of rage and anger.
"Prepare to die, War Greymon!"
Burizalor flies down towards the battlegrounds and faces off against War Greymon. War Greymon got into a fighting stance despite losing a lot of energy since using the Courage Beam.
"It is time to die, War Greymon. And where you are going is somewhere even worse than hell itself!"
Then...
Tai pulled his arms back and pushed them forward. War Greymon did the same and felt his body start to crumble after releasing the huge force of energy.
"Life Bomb!"
Suddenly, a large orange ball of energy came hurtling towards where Burizalor was hovering. Burizalor looked up and saw the large Terra Force coming right at him. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of it. He watched as it swallowed up his death ball beam.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
The Terra Force ball started to push Burizalor back. Even the powerful brute strength and speed of Burizalor wasn't enough to push the energy ball back.
"THIS THING! IT'S TOO POWERFUL! NO! DAMN YOU, DIGI-DESTINED!"
War Greymon flew right at Tai and snatched him away and started towards the other Digi-Destined.
"You guys! We have to get away from here now! Lets go!"
Angemon and Angewomon went over to help Leomon to his feet and carried him over to the others and away from the battlefield. The others all followed Tai and War Greymon's lead.
The ball of energy pushed Burizalor further back into the ground. His screams were becoming increasingly blood curling like never before. Burizalor's eyes started to bulge open while he continued to scream.
"I CAN'T PUSH IT BACK! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I SWEAR THAT I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
Burizalor screamed out as he was pushed further down into the ground. Then there was a large explosion. The force of the explosion was like a small meteorite striking the surface. The force of the explosion caused shock waves to push everything back and the ground was crumbling like never before.
Just as though everything seemed to turn for the worst, it turned out to be better. As the smoke cleared away, there was nothing left but a pile of rubble. There were no movements. Not even any power level readings. It was just total silence, until water started coming out the ground. There was a large hole in the middle of the ground where the Cosmic Terra Force had struck.
Next...
On top of the trolley cart, there was a huge figure. It was a familiar figure. He looked pretty scarred up and beat up, but it was none other than Burizalor. The evil monster looked down at the children with an enraged look. Then his frown turned into a cruel smile.
"It can't be!" Tai said.
"No! He died! We used that Life Bomb! He couldn't have survived it!" Agumon exclaimed.
"How can he still be living?" Leomon said as he balled his fists up.
"Mommy..." TK said.
The whole scene started to turn dark, even the skies were turning a dark red color. It suited Burizalor's rage. He pointed his finger towards the children. His smile got even bigger and a beam shot out from his finger. It was being directed towards one of the children. To his horror, Tai saw the beam coming towards him.
"Taichi!" Leomon exclaimed as he ran and pushed Tai aside.
But his fate would be a fatal one as the beam penetrated right through the chest of Leomon. Leomon cried out in pain as Burizalor kept the beam right on him.
"No! Leomon!" Tai exclaimed as he went to help him but the others restrained him.
Leomon fell to the ground with a hole in his chest. Blood came spilling out from his wound and he had lost total consciousness.
And then...
Burizalor pointed his finger towards the children and it looked like he was pointing to Tai but as soon as he shot out his deadly beam, it went straight towards Sora.
The scene seemed to be in slow motion for a moment and the beam was coming right for Sora. Tai watched in horror and went to push Sora aside. But as soon as he reached out to her, the beam went right through her chest and through her heart. Tai's eyes widened in fear and shock at what he just witnessed.
Sora fell limp to the ground and her eyes became glazed over. Tai ran to her side and held her in his arms.
"Sora… No… This can't be happening…"
Tai's eyes started to water down in tears. He lost Matt and now he lost his best friend, Sora. Burizalor has taken away two of the most important people of the group.
Then...
Suddenly, Tai started to shake with total rage and he clenched his digivice. Agumon watched Biyomon crying at Sora's body. He turned to face Burizalor and his eyes turned a different color, a more darker and redder color. He felt the same kind of rage that Tai was feeling.
"Burizalor... I won't let you get away with this. No more. You have caused too much pain already! I've had it with you. NO MORE! I said, NO MORE YOU NO GOOD BASTARD!"
Tai dropped his digivice and it shattered into pieces. The other children watched in horror as Tai's body started to glow a red color. Then Agumon was glowing as well. The ground started to shake around them and a barrier formed around them. Burizalor watched in horror to what transpired.
"I won't let you kill anymore innocent souls," Tai said, "You hear me?! NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Tai let out a raging, blood curling scream, as did Agumon. The ground started to shake around them and the barrier got even bigger. It looked as though they were about to transform as they were being pulled against one another.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
"Agumon fusion evolve! OMEGA X!"
As the smoke cleared away, the newest form of Agumon stood in front of Burizalor. The other children couldn't believe their own eyes. Agumon and Tai had fused into the legendary warrior. Burizalor couldn't believe at what he was seeing.
Then...
Omega X drives an elbow into Burizalor one last time as the evil tyrant goes flying back into several nearby canyons. Omega X stopped in place and got into a fighting stance. He waited for his adversary to rise out of the rubble. Burizalor quickly gets to his feet and his eyes widen in rage. He faced Omega X and was about to attack.
Next...
"It's done."
"Huh?! What do you are saying?!"
"Your energy level is depleting after each blow. In fact, you aren't even a challenge anymore. I'm satisfied now. I have destroyed your pride. You lost to a worthy fighter. Now admit defeat!"
"No! You didn't win!"
"It wouldn't be right to continue this fight. You are too scared and ashamed. Live with the loss, its going to be going through your mind for the rest of your life. Now go back to where ever it is you came from and think about what you have done. There's no point in killing you when I know I can beat you."
Burizalor was shaking with rage and refused to listen to what Omega X was saying to him.
End of Flashback
Omega X goes flying up and looking for a portal to escape through before the whole dimension starts to implode. Burizalor looked down and clenched his fists angrily. His eyes were full of hatred and burining rage.
"You stupid digimon! You actually you won?! You don't realize to whom you're dealing with! I am Burizalor! I am Lord of all Worlds! You can't win! And you're just a mere peon and a mortal in my eyes!"
Omega X continues to make his way up. He has no idea of what Burizalor is going to do next.
"Now you shall learn... You will die by my HAND ONLY!"
Burizalor appears in front of Omega X and quickly forms a giant death ball on one finger.
"Think you have beaten me?! I'm one step ahead of you now! Now I shall crush you with this! Now say goodbye!"
Burizalor tosses down the large ball of energy and hurtles it towards Omega X. Omega X held his arms out and watched as it started to push him back. Burizalor laughed hysterically as the ball started to push Omega X back.
"Grr! You damned fool! Don't you ever realize defeat?! Well now, you shall learn how to DIE!"
Omega X pushes the energy ball and blasts a beam at it. The energy ball goes flying back right at Burizalor. Burizalor's eyes widened in total shock and watched as his own attack was being sent straight at him. Burizalor attempts to blast it away but was unable to. The energy ball sends Burizalor flying back into the background of the dark dimension. Then Burizalor watches as the ball sends him into an eclipse. Burizalor watches as his body started to quickly melt and fade away by the huge heat mass. A huge explosion occurs as the eclipse and the energy ball themselves exploded into masses of smoke, dust and ashes. A wave of energy comes pushing everything back after the large impact.
Omega X held his hand down and sighed heavily. He powered down and savored his victory. The evil tyrant known as Burizalor has now been defeated. Omega X turns around and goes flying around the dark dimension in search for the portal to get back to the Digital World.
The landscape looks like it was about to blow. Everything was being covered in hot molten rock and magma oceans were starting to surface.
Radical lighting was striking everywhere and most of the air supply was quickly being cut off. All signs of life have been completely erased. All that remained is one individual in this dimension and that is, Omega X.
After beating Burizalor, Omega X was flying everywhere around the dark dimension in search for a portal to get back to the Digital World. It was so dark that it was very difficult for him to even find a portal.
He stopped to look at the scenery. It was as if he were in hell right now and hell was about to swallow him up whole as a result. He had to act quickly before he would be erased completely from existence.
Things were looking bleak for Omega X and there wasn't much time left. Only a few minutes remained for him to escape the dying dimension and make it back to the Digital World in time.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the four guardians gasp at what just transpired. They couldn't believe it. Burizalor has been defeated, at last.
"I… I can't believe it… It's over…"Azulongmon said, "This is just unbelievable."
"What is it, guardian?" asked Sora, "It must be bad. Oh go ahead and tell us, we can handle it."
"We're ready for anything," replied Kari, "Even if my brother lost."
"Yo! Chill and listen to what I'm about to say," said Azulongmon.
The children all gathered around the guardians. They were about to listen to what Azulongmon was about to say. He has the news concerning the fight in the dark dimension.
"The fight is over. Burizalor is dead."
The children cheered happily and praised for their leader.
"Yeah! I knew he could do it!" TK said, "He beat Burizalor!"
"Yes. Burizalor pleaded for Omega X to forgive him and Omega X helped him for a moment and spared him of his life. But Burizalor turned on him and attempted to destroy him with a large energy ball but Omega X was able to send it right back to Burizalor and it blew him to smithereens!"
"Man! What a jerk Burizalor turned out to be!" Joe snapped.
"Indeed."
"Thank god," Sora replied, "You actually did it, Tai. I'm proud of you."
"Brother. Now you'll surely come back home with us," Kari said.
"I can't believe it," Matt said, "Well I'll be damned. He has actually done it. Way to stick it to him, dude!"
"Alright Tai!" Mimi cheered happily, "There's no way we can lose you now!"
"Well I'll be a monkey's uncle," Izzy said, "He did it."
"Please, will you quiet down," Azulongmon said, "I'm not quite done. In fact, Tai might very well lose!"
"Lose?! But how?!" Mimi cried.
"By remaining in the dark dimension. Sure he defeated Burizalor, but the dark dimension is due to explode at any moment. There isn't much time left."
Everything went quiet as the Digi-Destined stopped cheering due to the fact that their leader might not even make it back.
"The dark world is beginning to look like boiling spaghetti sauce. It would take a miracle for anybody to escape in time!"
"But can't you guardians do anything to help him?" Sora cried.
"Yes. The powers from within you enabled us to gather as much energy as we can. That way we can activate the cores once again. Then we shall try to create a portal in the dark dimension in order for Omega X to escape through. But since time is quickly running out, it will be very hard. But we shall try our best."
Azulongmon turned towards the other guardians. They watched as the cores were circling around them. Then they were in the center of ground. There was a glowing light coming out from each one. The guardians chanted some sort of unknown digimon language and the cores started to activate. Light was coming out from each core.
The Digi-Destined watched on patiently and waited to see if the cores would actually create a portal powerful enough to bring Tai and Agumon back from out of the dark dimension.
****************************************************************************************
Omega X flew across the landscape and looked down for any sources of transportation. This way he can escape a lot faster than just flying. Now the skies were becoming increasingly hot since there was no ozone layer to block out any radioactive light.
"There! I can see Burizalor's base and his ship looks pretty beaten up, but I have to give it a try."
Omega X goes flying down towards the ship and notices that there is a large hole at the very top of it. He flew down and went through the hole. As he made it inside, he flew right through a long hallway and there were no signs of life within the ship since all of the soldiers were killed earlier.
Omega X found a door leading into the control room. He walked in and found a control panel with several buttons.
"Alright! This is it! Now where is the on button to this thing? Ok, you use a TV remote just about everyday. This shouldn't be any different."
Omega X picks looks down ad sees a button and at the side it read:
Activation for Lift Off.
"There! Now time to get out of this hell hole!"
Omega X felt the ship starting to rise up and he sighed with relief. He was going back home and there was nothing that will stop him now.
"Digital World! Here we come!"
Suddenly, the ground started to shake and the ship was starting to collapse. Omega X felt the ship losing its power and the lava underground was starting to spew out.
"Oh no! What the hell is going on?! The ship is down! Now what?! No dammit! This can't be happening! No!"
Omega X felt the ship starting to tip over. He looked out through a nearby window shield and watched as the ship was falling down into the pool of lava. Omega X had to do something and fast. Well, there was nothing else to do. Omega X flies up and breaks through the roof of the ship in order to escape out. Omega X looked down and watched as the ship fell into the magma bed below.
"Damn! That was my only way out of there!"
Omega X started to fly around in attempt to find his way out. He could not give up. He had to return home to see his friends and family.
****************************************************************************************
Just as the four Holy Beasts were just about done collecting more energy for the orbs. They felt something about to implode. They stopped and faced the Digi-Destined.
"Digi-Destined! It's happening! The dark dimension is about to implode!" Azulongmon said.
The Digi-Destined gasped in shock and couldn't take the suspense. Now they were in total fear. There was nothing they could do now. Sora held onto Kari tightly as a way to keep her calm at the moment.
****************************************************************************************
Omega X looked around his surroundings and watched as everything started to fade into a white and blank color. He let out a loud cry and he witnessed a large explosion take place. And as the explosion took place, the whole dimension imploded into nothing more than empty space. Everything that made up the whole dark dimension was already gone. There were no signs of any life activity. Not even traces of Omega X were left.
***************************************************************************************
"Oh no... It's over..." Azulongmon said.
"What? You mean he's gone entirely?" Sora asked, "Oh Tai..."
"Could you check the condition of the dimension?" asked Izzy.
"Yes. I will try."
Azulongmon began to see the dark dimension through his mind. There was nothing left but total darkness and lifeless space.
"Yes. Just as I expected it, there's nothing but cold and total darkness. No signs of any life anywhere. Everything is gone. I'm so sorry, Digi-Destined."
"Brother..." Kari said, "I can't believe that you're gone."
"What an honorable sacrifice he mad," Matt said, "I managed to put my life on the line but nothing compared to Tai's. He wanted to stay and resume the fight in order for us to escape. Tai, I should have been there with you and helping you."
Sadness had taken its toll upon the Digi-Destined. The guardians were just as sad but they had work to do. It was time for the Digi-Destined to return home at any moment.
"Digi-Destined. We will attempt to find the Digi-Destined of Courage as hard as we can. I believe that he was entirely killed. But as a way to keep in contact with you concerning Tai, I shall give the child of light my orb."
The digicore started coming towards Kari. She captured it and held it tightly in her arms.
"But why does she need it?" asked Gatomon.
"So this way I can communicate with her and I shall contact her if I find any news concerning her brother. Now Kari, I want you to take care of it."
"I will. Please, do all that you can to find my brother."
"We will. Now it is time for you to return home, Digi-Destined. You have saved our world and we thank you. Now we shall return the favor by finding the one named Tai."
"No thank you very much," Sora said, "We were chosen to save this world and we appreciate everything you done for us in the very end, guardians. Please, do you best on finding Tai. We would be grateful if he were to return."
"Yes. You're thank you shall be blessed. Now it is time."
Azulongmon shot out a beam of light and a portal started to form.
"This shall led you back to your home, Digi-Destined. We thank you for everything. And if you want to return, just use the core's power to activate a portal or simply use your digivice to open a digital port into the Digital World."
"I will," Kari replied, "So are we ready?"
The children nodded and they started towards the portal. Matt turned to look back at the Digital World. A smile came across his face.
"I know you're still out there, dude. It's only a matter of time for you to return home. I just know you will be back. Well goodbye, Tai."
"Tai, we need you. You're the heart of this whole team. Tai, I've always wanted to tell you this and I never got the chance. Tai, you mean a lot to me. I love you..." Sora thought to herself.
The children went through the portal and it closed up.
"Now we shall do our part, fellow guardians," Azulongmon said, "We must find the Digi-Destined of Courage! He's out there somewhere and I can feel his presence. We must act now and find him."
The Holy Beasts agreed with each other and dismissed each other back to their respective guarding grounds. Azulongmon went back to his eastern quadrant and began using his powers to pick up any power readings from the boy who inherited the crest of courage. So far, nothing yet but it will take a long time for him to actually find him.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the Digi-Destined returned back home to their parents. The families all reunited with one another.
Sora and her mother reunited. Their love towards each other has become stronger than ever, now they have Biymon at their side. Even Sora's mother has accepted her as a new addition to the family.
Mimi reunited with her two loving parents. Now she doesn't plan on being as spoiled as she was before, ok maybe not too spoiled but she was glad to see her parents. They even accepted Palmon to live with them.
Izzy was glad to see his parents as well. They have already met Tentomon and are more than happy to let him live with them. Izzy was thankful for letting Tentomon stay.
Joe and Gomamon were happy that they were going to be living together along with Joe's family. Now Joe can look to Gomamon as his 'second brother', a rather charming one at that.
TK and his mother were happy to be reunited. Patamon was now a new addition to their home. Matt's father was the same way. He allowed Gabumon to stay with them. It seemed as though the whole was reunited for only a short period of time. But it sure made TK and Matt happier.
But the Kamiyas were devastated to have lost their son. Kari had told them everything that had happened. They couldn't take the fact that their son was gone and might never come back. But Kari explained to them about the core that she was given by Azulongmon. She was certain that Tai was still alive and would return home.
"Big brother. Wherever you are now, just remember that we'll be waiting. You saved two worlds from destruction. You may not physically be here with us but spiritually you are. Come back soon, Tai."
The whole world soon recovered from the latest catastrophe that has occurred over the past few days. Now the human world and the Digital World have all been restored to the way they were. All that was evil was kept at bay. The Digi-Destined vowed to protect both worlds from any new evil that would eventually appear one day. But the one thing they waited for the most was the eventual arrival of their beloved leader, Tai Kamiya, better known as Taichi Kamiya. Not to mention Agumon as well
An image of Tai and Agumon emulated brightly over the earth and over the Digital World. They watched them as if they were guardian angels. However, they were not dead and would eventually return home. It was just only a matter of time.
At last, the mighty Burizalor has been laid to rest. Yes, Omega X has ended the wicked reign of Burizalor and the Digital World is saved from his evil clutches. However, the hero was not able to escape and has vanished within the dark dimension. The Digi-Destined have returned to their families after a grueling battle. They mourn for their fallen leader. Kari knows that her brother is still out there in the digital world. She awaits the return of her brother and legendary hero, Taichi Kaimya.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]
Taichi Still Alive?! Hikari's Tears of Happiness!
It has been several months since the first adventure into the Digital World and since the Digi-Destined had their encounter with Burizalor. It especially has been several months since Tai and Agumon haven't been able to return. There hasn't been any type of significant activity in the Digital World. All seems peaceful, and the guardians are doing their best to keeping the Digital World cleaned up.
Kari sat down near the window in her room. She let out a sigh and held the digicore next to her.
"Tai. I really wish you were back. Things around here haven't been the same without you."
Gatomon comes walking into the room.
"You doing alright, Kari?"
Kari nodded and placed the digi core back onto the floor.
"I just wanted to tell you that dinner is almost ready."
"Ok. I really haven't had anything good to eat in the past couple of days."
"Are you going on a diet?"
"No silly. I'm just..."
Suddenly the digi core started to glow. Kari walked over to it and picked it up.
"You're just what? Hey, it's glowing!"
"Yeah. The guardians must be trying to tell us something."
Azulongmon appears on the core and sends a direct message to Kari.
"You need to get back to the Digital World immediately. I got some news concerning the Digi-Destined of Courage!"
"Ah! Tai! He's back! Gatomon! He's got to be back!"
"Well, lets go find out then."
"We better let the others know."
"Right."
**************************************************************************************
Later that day, all of the seven Digi-Destined arrived in the Digital World with their digimon.
"Shh! Quiet Mimi!" said Izzy.
Azulongmon appears along with the other four guardians.
"I heard that little comment. Believe me, this is much more important than your hair. I got good news concerning the Digi-Destined of Courage."
The Digi-Destined awaited his answer and were getting anxious. Now the long wait will be over. All of that waiting and wondering will now come to an end.
"The one you call Tai Kamiya has been found! Him and Agumon were found laying in a forest just near the Primary Village."
The Digi-Destined all cheered along and were happy to hear the good news.
"Yeah," Sora said, "What a way to stay alive, Tai!"
"Now he's ready to come home with us," Kari said.
"Now hold just a moment. That's not all. But Tai has requested that he stay here in the Digital World," said Azulongmon.
"Huh? But why?" TK asked, "I thought he be wanting to go home."
"It is beyond my power. It was his decision. He felt that he would help us clean up the Digital World. Plus we wants Agumon to excel in power under special training."
"So he's trying to become the strongest Digi-Destined?" Matt said, "Man. I should be getting special lessons, too. Oh well, I can always cut school and spar with Tai for some free time."
"Matt this is serious," said Sora.
"So I know how much you want him to return home, but he chooses to stay here. Kari, just because he chose to stay here, you and the others are still able to see him when you come and visit the Digital World. He would be glad to see you all again but now he and Agumon are going through a special training session. They want to exceed the fusion power level and push their limits to a whole new level."
"I understand, Azulongmon. As long as I know that my brother is doing well, that's all that matters to me," Kari said, "I'll come and visit him as many times as I like."
The other Digi-Destined agreed. However, Matt was visibly upset.
"So he's trying to surpass me and Gabumon in power, huh? We'll see about that! Tai, if you can fuse with your digimon and exceed your power level to a new level, then so can Gabumon and I!"
"I bid you farewell, Chosen Children. And remember, you each have a job to do. The Digital World is still vulnerable to evil forces attempting to destroy it. You must act and fight the evil."
The Digi-Destined all looked to each other.
"We all got jobs to do and its our responsibilities as the Chosen Children to complete them," Kari said.
They all nodded their heads, except Matt. He was clencing his fists and growled to himself. He would soon prove to Tai that he's as good as he ever will be.
"We will succeed," Sora said.
They all nodded in agreement and held their fists up in unison. This was to show that they were ready for just about anything and will fight whatever it is that will soon oppose them. They each got responsibilities and must meet them in order to succeed and preserve the Digital World and their own world.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, deep down in the dark and farthest regions of the dark dimension there was a rather large hole and within it was another world. It looked like the universe, however, there were actual life forms in this dimension.
Several alien-like creatures were swarming in masses around something similar to a dying corpse. They were feeding on pieces of chunks. Suddenly, a huge hovercraft was passing by. The carrion-feeding little creatures swarmed away like vultures and lying down was a rather familiar corpse. It was Burizalor, or was it? His body was almost completely torn up. Half of his face was gone and his skin was beginning to rot away. Besides his head and face, all was left was half of his upper body and an arm. His other arm was completely torn off.
His eye and mouth were barely moving any. There was a skeletal distinction in his mouth since half of his face was torn off. He tried speaking but it was very faint.
"Data... Nothing but a piece of data scum..."
The rather large spaceship-sized hovercraft stopped and a hatchet door opened up. A rather large hook came out of it. The hook comes right down near the corpse and stabbed through its back. Small amounts of blood came dripping out. The hook picks up the torn up body and carries it aboard.
The hatchet door closes up and Burizalor's torn up body was placed in a center of a dark room. He could barely see anything, but what he saw were two glowing red eyes. It began to speak, but it had a feminine tone of voice.
"Well. Well, if it isn't Burizalor! You're the destroyer of many worlds, aren't you? What happened to you? You been beaten by a digimon? Don't worry. You're in good hands now. With my help, you'll be back to being the most powerful force in all dimensions. I can guarantee you that. Now lets get started, shall we? Ha. Ha. Ha."
The End?!

***********************************************************************************
Laughter was being heard across the Digital World. Swarms of Flybeemon were swarming away and herds of Monochromon stampeded away. What in the world could they be so afraid of? More digimon started running out in fear.
Now it was becoming clear at what they were running from. On top of a mountain stood a young boy. A young boy?! He has on a pair of goggles on his eyes, a long cape flowing behind his back and a very dark blue jumpsuit. An evil smile came across his face.
"Hurry up and get out of here everyone! It's the evil Digimon Kaiser!"
The boy held his hand up and a whip came out of his hand. He lashed it out and several circular objects were coming out of nowhere. They looked to be ring-shaped and were a black color. Behind the boy was a rather, tall looking structure, like a form of a tower.
The rings started flying towards the scattering digimon. They tried to avoid them as fast as they could, but they were unable to do so. Several of the rings managed to capture several digimon. Cries were being heard and the digimon felt tremendous pain after being caught by the rings.
"Arise my slaves!"
The digimon stood up on their feet and saluted the young boy. Their eyes were glowing a blood-shot red color.
"All hail, The Digimon Kaiser! Hail the Digimon Kaiser!"
"Ahh. That just brings music to my ears. Don't you think so, Wormmon?"
"Yes, my lord."
Beside the boy was a small, green caterpillar like creature with big blue eyes and purple little legs at his sides. He looked up at the boy. This was his digimon and unlike the other digimon, he didn't have a dark ring.
[Digi Analyzer: Wormmon. Rookie-Level. Larva digimon. Special techniques: Sticky Net & Silk Thread]
"Now slaves. I want you to build more dark towers around this section by tomorrow. I expect them to be nicely done. Now I'm off to get my beauty sleep."
"We certainly worked hard today. We gained a lot of territory in the western section."
"Yes and soon the whole Digital World shall be mine."
The Digimon Kaiser had a digivice at his side. Unlike the other Digi-Destined's digivices, his was more oddly shaped and it was black. This surely indicated that he was indeed evil. But how could a Chosen Child like himself become so evil and enslave digimon? How did he eve get into the Digital World in the first place?
"So back to the base, my lord?"
"Yes and I want you to fix me a nice cup of tea when we get there."
"Great, and some crackers?'
"Nah. I'd say more like a sandwich, I'm not really hungry."
The two started to head back to the base. It was many yards away. There were more enslaved digimon going hard at work and building more dark towers as quickly as they could.
"Keep up the good work boys! I expect perfection! I should be in total control of this area by the end of today! Ah, it's so good being a bad boy! Ha! Ha!"

***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back on the earth. It has been four years since the last digimon adventure. It has been four years since the battle against Burizalor. The Digi-Destined have gotten older and everything has been peaceful. The families have grown to accept the digimon as a part of them.
Each of the original Digi-Destined were gaining hobbies that they enjoy the most. Matt has become a rock star and goes on tours on many occasions. He claims that it's a lot of fun and he gets to see all kinds of different people at the concerts he performs with his band. Mimi moved to New York with her family but she still keeps in touch with her friends. Joe is studying to become a doctor. That's right he still is attempting to get into med school. Sora has become a very active tennis player. Izzy now attends high school along with the other Digi-Destined. And as for Tai, well he's still in the Digital World helping out the guardians and decided to help train Agumon. One day, those two will return.
However, there was one family that wasn't far complete. That family was the Kamiya family. Hikari has grown up a lot since the last adventure. She's now eleven years old and is just about the same kind of girl, except she doesn't carry a whistle anymore. Now it's a digital camera and she no longer suffers from frequent illness as she did when she was a little girl. Her newest hobby is digital photography so that is why she carries a camera around her neck.
Kari goes to the Digital World to visit her brother on rare occasions. His new job was to help the Holy Beasts clean up the mess left behind by Burizalor's elite forces. However, the family household hasn't been the same without Tai around. But they grew to accept that Tai has a new responsibility. Kari wonders how powerful Agumon will get after all of that special training. He's going to be happy to when she sees them again.
Kari was finishing up her breakfast and looked at her watch.
"Oh no! Ten minutes till the bell rings! Man! I'm late on my first day!"
Kari got off her bed and ran into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Gatomon was awakened by all of the sudden foot stomping Kari was making.
"And I was trying to get my cat nap... Late on your first day, I see..."
"Gatomon, take care of yourself while I'm away."
"You're just going to school. I can live with it. I need more sleep anyways."
"You're always sleepy. Well I gotta run!"
Kari ran towards her door as she grabbed her backpack and put on her shoes.
"I'm going to school, mom! Bye!"
Kari closes the door behind her and runs as fast as she could to get to school on time. Being late on the first day wasn't a good thing. She intends to get there as fast as she could.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, in another apartment complex, a young blonde-haired boy came walking out of his apartment room and started to walk off towards an elevator. And in case you're winder who this is, it is Takeru, better known as TK.
He looked at his watch and pushed the down button.
"Late on my first day. That's definitely not a good thing. And I've moved into a new apartment complex this past week. I'm a lot further from my old school and now I'm a new kid in the school that I'm going to. I hope everything turns out right."
TK got inside the elevator and waited to reach the ground level. As he got there, he walked out and started towards the direction to where his school was. Suddenly, he heard another elevator shaft open up. To his surprise, there were two kids as well. TK looked at them and smiled. One was a purple-haired girl with glasses and the other was a short brown-haired boy.
"Hello there."
"Um. Hello," the girl said, "Are you new here?"
"Yeah. My mom and I moved in here just a week ago. My name is Takeru Takaishi. But you can just call me TK."
"Oh well. Hi, my name is Miyako Inoue, but you can just call me Yolei. This is Iori Hida. But you can just call him, Cody."
"Welcome to the apartment complex, TK."
"Thanks, I'm a new kid coming into this school."
"Wow that's great. Well we don't want to be late for our first day."
"Right. Lets go."
The three kids headed off towards their school and walked as fast as they could to try not to be late. However, they did talk to each along the way.
***************************************************************************************
As the three children got to the school, there was a huge crowd in the front courtyard. They were watching a soccer game take place. On one side of a team, there was a boy with goggles on his head.
As TK walked towards the courtyard, he gasped at what he saw. A boy with goggles. His surprised glare came over his face.
"Tai?! That couldn't be him!"
The boy attempted to kick the play but he missed. The ball came towards TK and he easily caught the ball.
"Nah! That couldn't be him. Tai is a much better soccer player than this kid."
"Hey nice catch man!"
The two stared each other down. The boy with goggles quirked an eyebrow as TK tossed the ball to him. The boy caught it.
"What's with you? You alright?"
"You look awfully familiar. Must be the goggles."
"Hey Davis! Quit holding up the game, dude!"
Davis turned away and threw the ball over to his teammates. TK walks off and heads to the school.
****************************************************************************************
Fifteen minutes pass, everybody gets into class. In one classroom, Davis walks in and sees Kari sitting in a desk.
"Hey! You're in my class, Kari! Sweet!"
"Well hello Davis. How was your summer?"
"Eh. It was okay, you could say it was a little wacky."
"Really? Oh."
"How about you?"
"Nothing really except going with my friends to the beach."
"Oh. Sounded like fun."
"Oh yeah."
The teacher began to speak to begin the class. But before he could start his first lesson on the first day, TK came walking in.
"Class. If I can have your attention, I would like to introduce to you a new addition to our class. Please introduce yourself."
"Hello. I am Takeru Takaishi, but you can just call me TK."
Davis noticed TK and gasped.
"Hey I saw him earlier today."
"Welcome to the class, TK. You can take that seat near the girl with the camera around her neck."
TK started walking towards the seat next to Kari and next there. Kari smiles and looks to TK.
"Hey TK. Long time no see."
"Same here. Just like old times."
Davis' eyes go bulging out and he started getting pissed off at the sight of TK sitting next to Kari. In his mind, he saw another guy making a move on his girl. That was something Davis would not tolerate and he would do something about it later today.
***************************************************************************************
Izzy was tying away at his computer and to his surprise. He received an urgent message from the Digital World. It was sent from Azulongmon.
"Hmmm. There's an urgent message from the Digital World? I wonder what's going on."
"Let's read the message then," Tentomon said.
"Hmmm."
Izzy opened up the email and began to read it.
SOS
Digimon Kaiser has come and taken over areas. He's enslaving digimon with dark rings! Hurry and help us oppose this new threat! We need you and fast!
"You know what this means, Tentomon."
"Yep. Back in action and back into the Digital World!"
"Tai isn't aware of this! He's still training with Agumon in another dimension. So its up to us now."
****************************************************************************************
Later that day, TK and Kari were walking along the hallways after class in hopes to talk to one another about their daily lives.
"So how's your mom doing with the new apartment?"
"Well, she's been more busy with work to even check it out yet, but I pretty much like it. I also met some kids about our age over at the apartments. They're really cool."
"Oh wow. What are their names?"
"Yolei and Cody."
"Hmmm. Maybe we can go meet up with them during lunch time."
"That sounds great."
Davis was hiding behind several lockers and was listening to their whole conversation. His eyes were locked onto TK as if he were prey.
"If he thinks he's going to take my girl, he's mistaken! Kari belongs to me and nobody else! Just how does she know this guy? Well I'm about to find out, sooner or later."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Yolei is at the computer lab as she was about to shut it down, until suddenly she found an instant message. It was from Izzy.
"Oh wow, it's Izzy. I wonder what he wants. I better tell him that I have to get going to my next class."
But just as she was about to send a reply, Izzy had already typed a message. Yolei read it.
Come to the Digital World! Kari, we need your help!
-Izzy
"To Kari? Huh? I know a girl named Kari. Kari. Kari. Ah! Kari Kamiya! But what's the Digital World? Is it some kind of amusement park? Well I better print this message out so I can give it to this Kari girl."
Yolei printed out the message, logged off and shut off the computer. She takes out the printed message, folds it and places it in her pocket.
"We still have several minutes until the bell rings, so maybe I can find this Kari to let time fly by."
She heads off down the hallway in hopes to find Kari and deliver the message.
**************************************************************************************
Izzy didn't get any responses from his instant messenger. So he turned off his connection and sighed.
"She didn't respond. Kari must have classes by now."
"So what are we going to do, Izzy?"
"I'm not sure. If Tai were here, we would be in the Digital World and taking care of business as usually. But it's just hard to decide what to do. I have no idea what the other Digi-Destined are doing since they got school now."
"Shouldn't you be in school?"
"My first class doesn't start in about an hour, but this is more urgent than school. The Digital World could be in serious danger!"
"Right. I think we should go there and check out what is causing all of this nuisance."
"If only we knew when this new enemy is going to strike next. Ah! I got it. We'll use the map of the Digital World on my computer and pinpoint the location of the new enemy's base. Bad guys usually have bases to hide out in."
"Alright then, what are we waiting for?!"
"Geez. Don't get your antennas all tangled up."
Izzy looked upon the map of the Digital World and started to pinpoint any kind of locations of the enemy's base. After a few moments of locating, Izzy found what seemed to be a glowing light on the map.
"Prodigious! I found it! Now we can get there as soon as possible!"
Izzy held out his digivice and pointed it to his computer.
"You ready?"
"As I ever will be."
"Digi-Port Open!"
A wave of light started to come out and it sucked Izzy and Tentomon right in. They went through a portal of some sort and within seconds, they found themselves within the Digital World.
"Seems peaceful around here. I don't see anything wrong, Izzy."
Izzy looked up and gasped at what he saw. He saw a landscape full of tall, black towers.
"Hello, digital world to Izzy. What are you looking at-AH! Whoa! What the heck are those?!"
"Beats me."
Izzy could feel really bad vibes from these dark towers.
"They're black. They could be an indication of evil. These must be what the Digimon Kaiser is building. But what's the significance of these dark towers?"
Suddenly, they heard footsteps creeping up behind. As they turned around, they faced several groups of digimon. They were Gotsumon, Gazimon and Gekomon. But their eyes were glowing red.
"Hey guys! We need to know what is going on around here," Izzy asked, "This has got to be the work of..."
"The Digimon Kaiser…" the digimon all said together.
"Hey Izzy. I don't want to butt in, but do you notice their eyes? They're creeping me out."
"Oh don't get all paranoid. Ah! Ok, they are kind of creeping me out. But why are their eyes glowing red?"
"Rock Fist Attack!" one of the Gotsumon cried out as he shot out several rocks at Izzy and Tentomon.
"Izzy! Its time that I show these guys who they're messing with! Super Shocker!"
Tentomon shot down several of the digimon with his attack but to his surprise, more started coming out.
"Um, Izzy. We have trouble."
"We're surrounded! Tentomon if only you could evolve!"
"Just leave it to me!"
Izzy's digivice powered up and it gave Tentomon the power to digivolve into his champion leveled form.
"Tentomon shinka! Kabu-HUH?!"
Izzy gasped in shock at what just happened. Tentomon was unable to evolve.
"What happened?! I fed you a breakfast buffet this morning!"
"I don't understand. I have the energy but I'm not able to digivolve. I wonder..."
Suddenly, they were interrupted by laughter. Izzy and Tentomon turned around to find the Digimon Kaiser on a large Tyrannomon.
"Welcome to my humble little garden."
"So are you the Digimon Kaiser?!"
"In the flesh and so glad to see you, Digi-Destined. As you can see, the reason your digimon can't evolve is because my dark towers have blocked out all of his powers to even make such a drastic move. So you can call this and any other areas with dark towers the 'no digivolving zone'."
"You're not going to get away with this!"
"Oh but I already have. You see, my master plan isn't quite complete just yet. I may need a little assistance."
"What are you saying?!"
"Join with me and we together can conquer the Digital World. With both of our intelligent minds, there's nothing that can stop us."
"Over my dead body, I rather risk my life than to join you."
"Ah suite yourself. But you turned down the chance to live like a god such as myself. But that's okay, my pets will just finish you off!"
The Digimon Kaiser snaps his fingers as the digimon all jumped Izzy from behind and started beating him down. Tentomon tried to save him but he was pummeled to the ground as well.
"If you won't join me by taking the easy way, I'll force you to join me using the hard way. Don't worry. I have something that will change your mind indeed. Ha! Ha!"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile back at school, TK and Kari were still walking down the hallway. They continued to chat with one another about more of their daily lives over the past three years. They haven't seen each other since then and it was the perfect time to get back together.
Just as they were about to reach to their lockers, Davis was standing in front of them with his arms crossed. An angry look came over his face.
"Oh hey Davis. I would like you to meet, TK."
"Yeah, I know. I saw him earlier today. You interrupted my soccer game, buddy!"
"And his name is not buddy. Its TK!"
"Ok, TP! How do you know Kari? You better give me a good answer cause I'll put my fist up your face if you don't tell me!"
"We've known each other for a long time. In fact, I haven't seen her in three years. So this is a good time to get back together and start hanging out again."
"Not when I'm around you're not. You keep away from my girl, TS."
"I'm not your girl, Davis."
"Since when?"
"Since forever!"
"Don't worry. It can wait."
"C'mon Davis. I'm not butting into you and Kari's business, Davis. I'm sure we can all get along and be friends."
"Yeah sure."
Just then, Yolei saw TK and came running up to him.
"TK! Hey, you managed to meet up with some new friends."
"Yolei! Hey. I would like you to meet Kari and Davis. I've known Kari before anyway, we just came across her other just today."
"Wow, how cool."
Davis mumbled to himself and kicked a piece of wadded up paper away.
"Hey. So you're, Kari?"
"Yes, that's me. Kari Kamiya to be exact."
"Oh, well I just got this from an instant message from mine. It's from Izzy and he sent it to you. Do you know him?"
Kari took the piece of paper from Yolei and read it. She gasped and looked to TK.
"Izzy needs us! There's something going on in the Digital World!"
"We have to go there now!"
"Huh? Wait! Where are you going," Yolei asked.
"We have to go check on the computers. This is an emergency," TK called out.
"Oh not unless I'm coming too," Davis said as he caught up to Kari and TK.
"What the heck are those two doing? Why do they need a computer for an emergency? Something is not right."
TK and Kari pulled out their digivices and pointed them at the computer that Yolei was using.
"You ready to go, Kari?"
"You bet I am."
"Not unless I'm coming too! I'm going to the Digital World too!"
"But not just anybody can go. You need a digivice to enter," TK said.
"Look TE! If you can go, then I can go too!"
As soon as Davis said that, three shining beams came out of the computer. One shot right at Davis and landed it right in his hand. The two other beams went flying and they landed into the hands of Cody and Yolei.
"Hey, what's this thing?!"
"It's a digivice," Kari said.
"Yeah but a mush different model than ours."
"Well now that I got a digivice, lets go! C'mon, guys! This way we can skip class!"
TK and Kari held their digivices into the computer screen and watched a wave of light sucked them right in.
"Hey, wow. So that's how it works. Ok then!"
Davis pointed his digivice at the computer and the same wave of light sucked him right in.
The three children went through some sort of vortex and eventually found themselves in the Digital World.
"Whoa. Cool, so this is the Digital World," Davis said. He looked down at his suit and his jacket now had fire symbols on them.
"Wow. Radical jacket! Do these come with some other accessories."
"Ok Davis. We're here to find out what Izzy was warning us about," TK said, "This is not a vacation resort. This is work. So be careful."
"I know how to take care of myself, TO."
The three kids walked along a trail across the forest and looked across. Nothing seemed devastated at all. But then, they came across several tall, black towers.
"Whoa. Where did those come from?" TK asked, "I never saw these the last time I came here."
"Odd. Who could of built these structures?"
"This is totally weird," Davis said, "Hey guys! There's a cave."
"Let's check it out," said TK.
They headed off towards the cave in hopes of finding anything that will explain to them the current situation of the Digital World.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at his large base, the Digimon Kaiser watched the children through his monitors. A cruel smile came across his face.
"Well. Well. Looks like we got some visitors."
"What shall we do to them?" asked Wormmon.
"We shall greet our guests with some company. Summon Harpymon!"
"Yes of course. Her Wind Seeker will give them a rude awakening."
"So are we enjoying our little stay?" the Digimon Kaiser asked as he turned to face Izzy.
He was being tied down and had a cloth wrapped around his mouth.
"Don't worry. In no time at all, you'll be working for me."
***************************************************************************************
The three children entered the cave and what they found was nothing but an open cavern.
"Nothing here. Let's turn back."
"Hold on, Kari. I see something!"
In the center of the cavern was a rather strange-looking egg. It was red with several multi-colors on it. There was a large spike embedded at the top of it. The symbol of courage was on it.
"It looks like an egg. Let's go check it out."
They walked over the odd-looking egg and examined it.
"Hmm. We can try to pick it up," TK said, "I'll go first."
TK attempted to pick it up first. But with all of his might, he couldn't even lift it up.
"Ugh. It's too heavy."
"Here let me handle this. It needs a woman's touch."
Kari then tried to pick it up but she wasn't able to and fell backwards.
"Ok, never mind with the woman's touch then."
"Hey guys! I just figured something out, Davis said, "Let me try to pick it up!"
Davis went over to the odd-looking egg and cracked his knuckles.
"Ok. Breathe in. Breathe out. Ok. Here we go. One and two and three!"
Davis grabbed the egg and was able to pick it up with ease.
"Ok that was easy. Geez, you guys need to work out a little more."
"Um. There's a problem," TK said.
As soon as he said that, a beam of orange light came out of the ground from which the egg was laying at first. The kids watched as a figure started to form within the light. As the light cleared away, there was a blue reptile like creature with a little horn on his nose. He opened his eyes and turned to face Davis.
"Umm. He's looking right at me."
"Yahoo! Free at last! Free at last!"
The blue reptile jumped right at Davis and hugged him.
"Ack! Get this thing off of me! What is he?!"
"You got to kidding me. Davis... has a digimon..." TK muttered.
"It's unreal. Davis, your a Digi-Destined!"
"Yep. And you're my partner, Davis."
"Um. How do you know my name?"
"Aw c'mon! Don't you know that I've been waiting for you this whole time?!"
"But we just met."
"Doesn't matter. We're partners and we're going to make a really cool team!"
"Ok, you seem cool. So what's your name?"
"My names Veemon! I'm a mythical Digimon that brings good luck to my friends! I'm a very adventurous guy and you're the type of friend I have been looking for!"
[Digi Analyzer: Veemon. Rookie-Level. Small Dragon digimon. Special techniques: The V-Head Butt]
"Well, you and I do have a lot in common then. So, what now Veemon?"
"I don't know, whatever you want to do."
"Veemon belongs to Davis now? This is getting weird and there were two other lights that came out of the computer."
"And I have to wonder where those other digivices were being sent to?'
"We'll just have to find out who when we get back home."
"Getting back home?! Well your going to have to get through me in order to do so," cried out a screechy voice.
"Ack! That hurt my ears! Ok, whoever is making that sound better stop or else," shouted Davis.
A white-colored bird appears behind Davis. It had a human-like face and the body of a bird. She had a dark ring on her and she had the same glowing eyes as the other enslaved digimon.
[Digi Analyzer: Harpymon. Champion-Level. Phantom Beast digimon. Special techniques: Wind Seeker & Silent Symphony]
"Or else what?"
Davis turned to face Harpymon and cried out.
"Lets run for it!"
The three children ran out of the cave and they made it to the outside. Davis and Veemon turned to face Harpymon.
"By the orders of the Digimon Kaiser, I shall kill you three pests!"
"Eat my fist," Davis cried out as he had up his fists.
"Don't do it, Davis!"
"Wind Seeker!"
Harpymon shot out a powerful beam and sent it towards the children. Davis, TK and Veemon managed to maneuver away but Kari wasn't able to and she got blown back. Kari fell to the ground and wasn't able to get up.
"Kari," TK cried as he went over to her,"Man! If only we would of brought Patamon and Gatomon along with us!"
"Davis! I'm ready to fight now!"
"But how? She'll whip you around like a rag doll."
"Not as long as you have that digimental in your possession."
"And what am I supposed to do with it?"
"Just hold it up and say, Armor Shinka Energize! And you got to have courage as well!"
Davis turned to see TK tending to Kari and anger was about to erupt from within.
"Armor Shinka Energize!"
[Digimon Zero Two armor-evolution theme "Break Up!" plays in sequence]
The digimental started to glow and it emitted an orange beam of light. It covered Veemon and he felt his power level increasing. Veemon started to cry out and the ground around him started to shatter away due to the increasing power mass.
"Veemon armor shinka!"
Veemon watched as fire started to cover his body. He grew a little taller, his legs lengthened as did his arms, and new armor was form on parts of his body. A horn came out from his forehead and claws came scathing out from his hands and feet. As he hovered down to the ground, a fiery aura formed around him. He turned to face Harpymon.
"Flamedramon! The Fire of Courage!"
"No way! He armor digivolved?! Wow, that's Veemon," TK said.
"Now that what I'm talking about," Davis said.
[Digi Analyzer: Flamedramon. Armored-Level. Evolution through the Digimental of Courage. Dragon man digimon. Special techniques: Fire Rocket & Flame Shield]
"I'm Flamedramon! By using the digimental of courage, I was able to armor evolve into this radical form. Now I'm ready to barbeque some bird. How you like your bird, flame broiled or crispy?"
"Now I'm going to destroy you, Flamedramon! Wind See-AH!"
Flamedramon quickly phased behind Harpymon and held her in place. He pulled his fist back and started hammering away at her. Flamedramon jumps up and phases out. Harpymon looks around and see Flamedramon flying right at her.
"Blazing Fist!"
Flamedramon rammed his claws into Harpymon as she went falling down.
"And now to destroy that dark ring. I can sense an evil energy from it. Fire Rocket!"
Flamedramon pulls his fists back and started firing away several fire blasts at Harpymon. One of the blasts nailed the dark ring and destroyed it. Harpymon went flying away.
"I don't think so! Blazing Fist!"
Flamedramon starts to spin and turns into a fiery tornado. He started to head towards Harpymon. She was flying away as fast as she could but Flamedramon phased right in front of her and shot out a powerful fiery blast right at her. Harpymon cried out. She was quickly disintegrated into fragments.
"Yeah! You rock, Flamedramon!"
Flamedramon went hovering down as he de-digivolved back to Veemon. Davis went running up to his partner and shook his hand.
["Break Up!" ends]
"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. But why did you destroy Harpymon?"
"Despite having a dark ring, I sensed malice and evil in her heart. In fact, she was going to hurt TK and Kari. So I took manners into my own hands."
"I see. Well you did a great job."
"So we can do this again some other time?"
"Oh yeah."
***************************************************************************************
Later that day, TK, Kari, Davis and Veemon headed back into the forest where they first entered the Digital World. They found a small television.
"Let's get back! Boy, we sure skipped school!" "Wrong Davis, time goes really fast here in the Digital World but it only took a few minutes to pass by in the real world," TK explained. "Ah nuts!"
"So are we ready," Kari asked, "Digital Port Open!"
They all went through the television screen and through the same vortex as they found themselves back in the computer lab.
"Lets go there again sometime," said Davis, "Huh? Oh hey Yolei."
"Yolei?!" TK and Kari said in unison.
They looked up to see Yolei looking down at them but along with her was Cody. They each had digivices in their hands.
"You care to explain these," Yolei asked as she held her digivice.
They were the same new-modeled kinds that Davis has.
"Veemon! Where are you?" Davis called out.
To his surprise, he found Veemon but he looked a lot smaller. He was lying in Davis' lap. He looked up to Davis and smiled.
"Close enough but you can just call me Demiveemon."
"Ugh, all these 'mons are giving me a headache."
"TK! What about Izzy? He said in the message that he sent to me that he would meet us in the cave," Kari said.
"Yeah that's weird. I wonder where he's at?"
**************************************************************************************
The Digimon Kaiser smiled with delight at what he just saw.
"So armor evolution? Those fools were able to digivolve that digimon even with my dark towers presently active. This I gotta research. But in the meantime, Izzy, my newest servant arise!"
Izzy rose to his feet and his eyes were glowing a purple color instead of their normal brown. He walked towards the Digimon Kaiser and bowed before him.
"Good now. Now I have an assignment for you."
What does the Digimon Kaiser have in store for the new Digi-Destined? How will just Flamedramon be enough to stop his evil force?

As TK, Kari and Davis made it through the computer, Yolei and Cody confronted them.
"Ok. Somebody better give me a good explanation for this," Yolei sneered.
"Hey. It wasn't my fault! TJ dragged me into this sticky situation," Davis pouted as he pointed to TK.
"No, Davis. I'm not talking about that."
"Oh, then I'm okay. You promise not to tell the teachers that I was skipping?"
"Ok that's not important Davis. TK, could you tell what this thing is?"
Yolei held out a digivice. It was similar to Davis', but a much different color. Cody also pulled out a digivice as well. TK and Kari were shocked to what they just saw.
"You two got digivices! That means that you're… Digi-Destined," TK said.
"I really don't care what I am," Yolei said, "C'mon lets all go to the Digital World. I'm ready to go now."
"But Yolei. We got classes in about a few minutes," Cody said, "I think we should get to our classes and go to the Digital World afterwards."
"No fair! I wanna go now!"
"Don't worry. You'll get your chance, Yolei," said Davis, "Now Demiveemon, you just hide in here and wait till we come back after school. Promise me that you won't sneak out."
"Will you bring snacks afterwards?"
"Sure. I'll even bring over some of my leftovers from lunch."
"Great! Its a deal."
Davis closes the door to the computer room and they started to run off back to their classes in order to beat the bell before they were going to be late.
***************************************************************************************
Back in the Digital World, more and more digimon were captured as slaves for the Digimon Kaiser. Dark towers were quickly being built throughout a majority of the Digital World.
The Digimon Kaiser stood on top of a hill and looked down upon his soon to be dominant empire. A smile came across his face.
"Um master," Wormmon butted in, "Master?"
"What is it?!"
"Well, it's about those kids. You think we should be on the look out for them."
"Hmmm. You know, your right for once. Yes, we should send out a group of my greatest slaves to take care of those nuisances."
"No, allow me," shouted a voice behind the Kaiser.
He turned to see Izzy, his newest henchman.
"Ahhh. If it isn't Izzy, what do you have in mind?"
"I say we use these dark rings to capture more of the original Digi-Destined and to bring them to our side. That way we can oppose the newer Digi-Destined."
"Yes that's brilliant. I can make more dark rings suitable for human slavery. Just like the one you have on your finger."
Izzy held out his hand a dark ring was around his index finger. A dark smile came across his face.
"Yes. Please do so. Meanwhile I can send some slaves to distract those kids for the moment being. Lets begin, shall we?"
"Yes. We shall, Kaiser."
"Master, just one more thing," Wormmon said.
"Yes and what is it?"
"How about you let me digivolve and I can fight those naughty kids."
"Nonsense, You will do no such thing, you don't even pose enough threat for those kids! So don't make me laugh. But master…"
The Kaiser cracked out his whip and nodded to Wormmon.
"I got much more better things to do than help you digivolve, you little runt!"
Those words alone crushed Wormmon as he held his head down and walked off.
***************************************************************************************
Later in the day, TK and Kari had left to go back home after school to go get Gatomon and Patamon. Then they returned back to school to meet up with Davis, Yolei and Cody in the computer lab.
"Ok we're back!" TK said.
"So where are your digimon?" asked Davis.
"You'll see soon enough, Davis."
TK pulls Patamon out of his backpack and Kari held out Gatomon.
"Aww, they're so cute," Yolei said as she looked at them.
"This is Patamon."
"And this digimon of mine is Gatomon."
"Nice to meet you," Patamon said.
"So are we ready to go to the Digital World?" Gatomon asked.
"Yeah, but in a minute," Kari replied.
"Ok, so let me get this straight. If we have digivices, then we have our own digimon," Cody asked.
"It's very possible. We're just going to have to go into the Digital World to find out the answer to that question."
"Then what are we waiting for," Davis asked, "Are you ready, Demiveemon?"
"You bet! Let's go!"
"That's what I like to hear. Alright, Digi-Port open!"
A wave of energy came out of the computer and sucked the five children in. They went through the same vortex that leads as a gateway that would eventually lead them into the Digital World.
As they entered the Digital World, they found themselves on an open plain field. Yolei and Cody each had different attire on.
"Whoa! Check out this radical get up," Yolei said, "I look like a part of the cool crowd."
"Hmm. Are these things washable?" Cody asked.
"Well now that we gotten that straightened out," Kari said, "Lets go find your digimon."
Suddenly, the digimon felt some really bad vibes and turned around.
"Veemon?"
"Davis, we got company."
Davis looked up and his eyes started to bulge out. To his surprise, there was several dark-ringed digimon. They were a Snimon, Fuugamon and an Apemon.
"Ahhh! Monsters!" screamed Yolei.
"Davis! I'm ready whenever you are!"
"Yeah! Go get them!"
Davis watches as an orange ray of energy hits Veemon as he gets set to digivolve.
[Digi-Armor Evolution theme "Break Up!" plays]
"Digimental Up!"
"Veemon armor shinka! Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage!"
Flamedramon appears out of the wave of fire and start an all out attack on the three dark-ringed digimon.
"Lets get you two to find your digimentals," said TK, "Patamon it's your turn!"
"You too, Angewomon!"
TK and Kari's digivices started to activate as they gave their two digimon the power to evolve into their next stages of digivolutions.
"Patamon!"
"Gatomon!"
"Shinka to!"
Suddenly, their process was put to a complete stop and they were unable to evolve. Patamon and Gatomon were both stunned in disbelief.
"Why can't we digivolve?" cried Patamon.
"We're dead meat," Gatomon said, "We have to get away from here."
"I say we help Yolei and Cody find their digimentals," Kari said.
"Great idea. C'mon you two lets get out of here. Davis and Veemon can handle everything from here."
["Break Up!" ends]
Yolei and Cody nodded and went to follow them into a nearby forest. Now the battlefield was left for Flamedramon to take on all three dark-ringed slaves.
"Ok! You remember what we did last time. We aim for those dark rings. I come to the conclusion that those rings are controlling the digimon. So aim for them!"
"Yeah. I heard you the first time. No need to shout."
[Random Japanese Dragonball Z battle music plays]
Flamedramon fades out as Snimon slashed at him. Snimon misses and watches as Flamedramon hammers him in the face. He turns around and sees Fuugamon running at him with his club at hand. Flamedramon managed to jump over him and kick him in the back of the head. Apemon shoots out several ki-blasts at Flamedramon but the armored digimon was able to deflect them with his claws.
"Is that the best you got? You three aren't even threats to me. I can beat you punks blind-folded."
The three dark-ringed slaves angrily surrounded Flamedramon.
"What, so it's a little three on one? Fine with me, but can you catch me?"
They all charged right at Flamedramon and started to pummel him. Then a cloud of smoke began to cloak them. They were swinging their fists and pounded away at Flamedramon as hard as they could. But as the smoke cleared, they found nothing but their fists at each other's faces. They looked up to see someone laughing and it was Flamedramon.
"Just look at you idiots, pounding away at one another. So, you guys wanna dance or fight?"
The three digimon got even angrier and started towards Flamedramon, who hovered down to fight them once again.
"You three are pitiful. How I envy you? Heh. Heh."
**************************************************************************************
Kari and TK led the two Digi-Destined through the forest.
"So this is the Digital World. It's both beautiful but dangerous," Yolei said.
"You haven't seen anything yet?" TK said, "Wait till we tell you everything about our first adventure."
"We've been through almost like hell and back," replied Kari, "It's a really great place when you get used to it."
"I can sense some sort of power. Two powers. Over at that lake over there," Gatomon said.
She and Patamon went over to the lake and looked over it.
"She's right. There's two items at the bottom of this lake," Patamon said.
"Yolei. Cody. Hold up your digivices and see what happens," replied TK.
"Yeah. Lets go Cody," Yolei said.
Yolei and Cody held out their digivices. They watched as their digivices began to glow and the lake was beginning to bubble up. Two lights came shining out of the lake. There was a red color and a yellow color. Then to their surprise, two digimentals started to arise out of the lake. They came floating over to Yolei and Cody. Yolei received a digimental with two shiny wings at the sides. Cody's digimental was yellow with a spiked stub at the top of it.
"These are ours," asked Yolei, "Wow. They're nice."
"These will give our digimon powers? Wow, who would have thought? Power from such small objects such as these," Cody said.
Suddenly, the digimentals released a beam of energy and two figures started to appear. One of them was a hawk-like creature with an indian feather head and the other an armadillo like creature. The two hovered down and looked towards the ones that released them.
"Whoa!" Kari said, "Those are their digimon?"
"Who would of ever guessed?" TK replied.
The hawk creature spoke up first.
"Greetings Yolei. I am your partner digimon. You can call me Hawkmon. By using the digimental of love, you awakened me and now we are officially partners."
"Us, partners?"
"And you must be Cody. Hi, I'm Armadillomon. By summoning the digimental of knowledge, I came out of a long sleep. Did you really have to wake me up?"
"Um, so we're partners?"
"I know, this is going to getting used to," Kari said, "But you two will eventually want your digimon to be at your side forever. Trust me, the more you appreciate what your digimon does for you, the stronger your friendship becomes."
"That's right. Whatever digimon, you receive, it's destiny and you must go along with it. As Digi-Destined, we will band together to defeat this new evil. So what do you say?"
Yolei and Cody thought long and hard. Hawkmon and Armadillomon looked up at them.
"Gee. I never had to save anything before. But then again, this is my first time. I can't screw this opportunity up,"Yolei thought to herself.
"There's always a first time for everything. And I would hate to see this place get destroyed, so what the hey,"Cody thought.
"Alright!"
"I agree with Yolei. I accept too."
"And in order for us to evolve, you must say armor shinka energize," Hawkmon said.
"Digimental Up!"
[Digi-Armor Evolution theme "Break Up!" plays again]
Their digimentals started to glow and they gave the two digimon the power to digivolve. A red glow emulated over Hawkmon and a yellow glow came over Armadillomon.
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Halsemon, the Wings of Love!"
"I am Halsemon. As Hawkmon, I used the Digimental of love to armor shinka. My attacks include tempest wing and eagle eye."
"Armadillomon armor shinka! Digmon, the Drill of Knowledge!"
"Yo! You can call me, Digmon! As Armadillomon, I used the Digimental of Knowledge to armor Shinka. My attacks include Gold Rush and Rock Cracking!"
"Wow. Our very own digimon," Cody said.
"So are we ready to rock!" asked Digmon.
The four Digi-Destined nodded and were ready to get back into the action.
["Break Up!" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Flamedramon walked over to the three fallen dark-ringed digimon as he chuckled.
"So is this the best that the Digimon Kaiser has to offer? What a joke, I wish I could the look on his face while he sees you three scream like the punks that you are."
They looked up at Flamedramon as their eyes were glowing a blood-shot red.
"C'mon, I'm right here, give me your best shot. Look at me. My back is turned. How's that?"
Flamedramon turns around and the three warriors decide to attack him from behind. Snimon goes to slash at hit but Flamedramon ducks under and knees him in the gut. Apemon goes to punch him in the face but Flamedramon catches his hand and kicks him right in the face. Fuugamon swings his club but receives an uppercut right in the face. Flamedramon then pulls back his fists and shoots out a fireball blast at Fuugamon.
"Pitiful. If only the Kaiser was here right now, I would love to see the look on his face."
"Oh is that so?" a voice shouted out.
"Hey who was that?" Davis said.
When they both turned around, they saw the Digimon Kaiser standing on a cliff looking down at them.
"So are you the Digimon Kaiser?"
"Yep, in the flesh."
"But you're a kid just like me."
"I'm nothing like you. So I see this is your digimon. Flamedramon, I'm rather impressed with your tenacity."
"Thanks because I'm about to lay the ol' smack down on your candy ass."
"Ok, go ahead and try to rip somebody else's line off but I'll tell you what. You want a real challenge, I'll be more than happy to give you one."
The Kaiser snaps his finger and a large gorilla monster came popping out. He has a large cannon on one arm and a dark ring was around his other arm.
"Flamedramon. I would like to introduce to you, Gorillamon. He is a champion leveled digimon. His attacks include Energy Cannon and Power Lifting. You think you're up for the challenge?"
"Show him what you're made of Flamedramon."
"Alright Gorillamon, you ready dance?"
Gorillamon went charging right at Flamedramon but the armored digimon was able to phase out quickly. Gorillamon turned around to see Flamedramon kick him right in the face. Flamedramon hammered away at Gorillamon and punches him right in the stomach.
"Had enough yet?"
But to his shock, he saw Gorillamon quickly get to his feet and pointing his cannon at Flamedramon.
"Aw shoot, I shouldn't have been too careless!"
"Energy Cannon!"
He shoots a rather large energy beam at Flamedramon and it sends him flying back. Gorillamon goes charging at Flamedramon and punches him right in the face. Flamedramon goes flying back.
"Ha! I showed you! Now, destroy that cocky little nuisance," the Kaiser shouted out.
Gorillamon goes approaching the fallen Flamedramon. Davis tried everything to cheer on his digimon in order to help him gain his second wind. Suddenly, an energy beam goes flying towards Gorillamon and nails him.
"Tempest Wing!"
Davis turns to see Yolei on Halsemon.
"Yeah! Nice timing, Yolei!"
He then turned to see Digmon coming out of the ground. Behind him were Cody, TK and Kari.
"Great! Now that we're all together! We're sure to win! You ready for round two, Flamedramon?!"
"You bet I am! I was getting my second wind. You ready guys?"
"Yeah! Lets rock," Halsemon said.
"I dig ya," replied Digmon.
["Run Around" from Digimon Movie Soundtrack plays]
Flamedramon went charging at Gorillamon and he started punching him away. Halsemon flies over Snimon as they flew around each other in attempt to attack each other. Digmon appears in front of Apemon and head butts him in the stomach. Fuugamon tries to grab Digmon from behind but Digmon head butts him from behind without even looking.
"Ok guys! Time to aim for some dark rings," Flamedramon shouted, "Alright Gorillamon. I've grown tired of you! Here's a little going away present! Fire Rocket!"
Gorillamon watched as the fireball blasted away his dark ring with ease. He fell to the ground unconscious as he was regaining his strength.
"Fuugamon and Apemon! You're both grounded! Gold Rush!"
Digmon phases out and reappears in front of the two enslaved digimon and uses his drills to destroy the dark rings on them.
"You're turn, Halsemon," shouted Yolei.
"I'm not it! Tempest Wing," Halsemon cried out as he shot out a wing blade technique and watches as it cuts through the dark ring and disintegrates it."
The Digimon Kaiser watched on and couldn't believe it. He was being beaten with ease. His four enslaved warriors were now free of his evil control.
["Run Around" ends]
"So you managed defeat me today Digi-Destined," the Kaiser shouted, "But you won't get the best of me next time!"
The children looked up to see the Digimon Kaiser.
"So your the Digimon Kaiser," Kari shouted.
"We're here to stop you," TK said, "We won't let you destroy the Digital World for your own selfish deeds! You aren't the first to do so. Another individual by the name of Burizalor was defeated before you."
"Yes and unlike him, I will succeed in taking this world as my own, you got that? Well farewell for now and oh, I do got a surprise for you. Izzy! Come forth!"
Kari and TK gasped at what they saw. Standing on the cliff next to the Kaiser was Izzy. Izzy held out his hand a dark ring was around his index finger.
"With Izzy, I will use these rings to capture the other original Digi-Destined in hopes of defeating you! Well farewell for now, digi-fools! Ha! Ha!"
TK and Kari couldn't believe it. Now they knew where Izzy has been this whole time. Now the Digimon Kaiser has enslaved him. They had to warn the other Digi-Destined before the Kaiser would get a hold of them.
"You guys. This could be the toughest challenge we could ever have to date," TK said, "Now we might have to fight our own friends."
"But my brother isn't around, so there's no way the Kaiser can find him," Kari said.
"I hope you're right."
"Yeah, but we're ready for anything," Davis said, "Right guys? I mean c'mon we're the new Digi-Destined."
"But it won't be simple. We're fighting human beings for goodness sakes," Yolei said, "There has to be a way to help them."
"We're just going to have to fight them and remove the rings off of them if the Kaiser is able to capture the other Digi-Destined. We have no choice," TK said, "But you're right, it will be very hard."
A hushed silence came over the group as they began to strategize their next move.
***************************************************************************************
Later that evening, the Digimon Kaiser was looking through his monitors and waiting for a call from Izzy. His cell phone beeped and he answered it.
"Yeah, so how are the rings coming?"
"They're going great so far. I made five other rings. That way we can enslave the majority of the original Digi-Destined. Just one problem, one of them has been away from earth for over four years. His name is Tai Kamiya."
"Oh and you told me he was in another dimension. And he and his digimon were the ones who defeated the great Burizalor four years ago?"
"Yes."
"Ah. Don't even bother. He doesn't know what I have in store for his little friends. Four more slaves shall do. We got a huge task ahead for us tomorrow. Those four will be doing my dirty work and it will only be a matter of time before I crush the new Digi-Destined. Ha. Ha. Victory shall be mine and it will be too sweet."
The Digimon Kaiser has planned out his next move. With Izzy under his influence, this could spell trouble for Sora, Mimi, Matt and Joe. Will the Kaiser succeed in enslaving them and defeating the newly completed Digi-Destined team of Davis, TK, Kari, Cody and Yolei?

SSJ4T: Damn, Izzy has been captured. I wonder why he couldn't have done that to Tentomon.
Coral: You're the one who wrote it. Well, I guess the Kaiser felt that he could destroy TK and Kari's confidence.
Sam: Sooner or later, he'll come to his senses. I just know he will. This is a pretty good read, dude. This is much better than the Zero Two shown on tv.
SSJ4T: Speaking of which, did you guys watch the Digivolution Marathon this morning? It's nice to know that the three seasons will be coming back on tv. Aw, the memories…

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Hikari and Takeru Receive Digimentals! Arise Nefertimon and Pegsusmon!
The Digital World looked just as peaceful as it ever will be. A mighty wind was blowing against the tall trees that made up a gigantic forest. Suddenly, there was a stampede of Monochromon trying to get away. But what they were running away from was pretty obvious.
Behind them was a large group of Tyrannomon. They looked like they were about to prey upon the Monochromon. In fact, they were not out to hunt. NO, they were out to trap them. Around their necks were large, dark rings. Their eyes were glowing a crimson red color. They chased the Monochromon until they were cornered near a mountain.
One of the Tyrannomon approached them and he stopped. There was a sudden laughing. On the back of this Tyrannomon was none other than the Digimon Kaiser. He looked down upon the Monochromon with an evil glare under his goggled shades.
"Where are you going? You weren't even nice enough to stick around and say hi to me."
They growled at him and attempted to attack but were cornered by the large group of Tyrannomon. They were surrounded and had no chance to escape.
"I don't think so. Don't even attempt to get by this roadblock, because as long as I'm around, you will have no choice but to become my slaves. So any last requests before I put dumb Monochromon to work?"
The Monochromon growled angrily and shot out fireballs. But they were easily cancelled out by the Tyrannomon's fire blast.
"Looks like you lose this time, you inferior creatures."
The Kaiser easily snaps his fingers and several dark rings came flying out of a nearby dark tower. They started flying towards the Monochromon. They attempted to escape but they were too late. As a matter of seconds went by, they already became slaves as a result of having the dark rings latch onto them. Now their eyes were glowing a same blood-shot glow as the Tyrannomon were.
"No! For your first assignment, I want you to clear this landscape. That way, I can make more room for my dark towers. It's only a matter of time now! Ha! Ha!"
Suddenly, Izzy came running up to him.
"Kaiser! Kaiser!"
"Please refer to me as master of lord. So, what is that you found, Izzy?"
"I managed to track down the locations of the other original Digi-Destined."
"That's great! Now we can lure them here."
"Only two small problems."
"And those would be?"
"I was unable to find Tai and Matt. They seem to be missing. I know for a fact that Tai is with Agumon somewhere in another dimension and I don't know for certain if they will ever return."
"And this Matt boy?"
"I can't find him. It seems as though he is looking for Tai on his own accords."
"Hmmm. Have you at least found the location of the other Digi-Destined?"
"Yes. They are Sora Takenouchi, Mimi Tachikawa and Joe Kido."
"Ok, very well. I want you to lure those three here and be sure that those dark rings latch themselves on our new guests. Lets make them welcome as they become a part of out family."
"Yes sir. I won't let you down."
"If my dark ring was able to work on a human, just think what I'll do to the human population in the real world. It will only be a matter of time, where I will become the ruler of both worlds! Ha! Ha!"
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the real world, it has been a sunny day in Japan. And this was the perfect day for Davis to practice some more soccer.
Davis looked towards the goal. He was in a position and ready to kick the ball at any given opportunity. Demiveemon watched him from a nearby bench.
"Motomiya in position. The ball is still and the crowd is silent. Motomiya gives a signal."
Davis holds his hand up and Demiveemon cheers.
"He shoots and…"
"DAVIS!"
As a result of that interruption, Davis kicked up and fell to the ground face first. As he picked himself up from the dirt, he looked up to see TK.
"Oh. Hi, TI. Did you come all this way just to ruin my perfect moment?"
"Perfect moment?"
"Yeah. One day, I'm going to have stadiums jam packed just to see me. I'll be the grand champion of all soccer players. I'll be a living legend."
"Uhhh… Sure you will, Davis. But just be sure to keep your concentration in check."
"Riiiight. So what are you doing here, TP?"
"Um, its TK. I came to tell you that we're ready to go back to the Digital World. We were practically waiting for you."
"Grr! Why doesn't anybody let me know about these meetings?!"
"We do. We told you about sixteen times in class."
"Hey, I need my sleep you know."
"Well, could you hurry it up? We're not going to be waiting for you all day."
TK ran back towards the school to meet up with the others back at the computer lab. Davis looks to the ball and nails a swift kick and makes a perfect shot. Demiveemon cheers on.
"Yay! Davis, you're the man!"
"Thanks, Demiveemon! Now lets go kick some more butt in the Digital World!"
"Oh yeah!"
Davis picks up Demiveemon and heads inside the school.
"Hey, Demiveemon. When you're Flamedramon, you totally rock, but could you also digivolve into another forms as well?"
"Hmmm. I never really thought about that. We'll just have to see, don't we?"
As they got there, the other four Digi-Destined were standing around and turned to face him.
"Well, look who finally showed," Yolei growled, "We were practically waiting an hour for you!"
"C'mon, let's stop this nonsense and get to the Digital World," Cody said.
"Mmmhmm. We have to make sure that the Digimon Kaiser didn't plant anymore dark towers," Kari said, "If there are, we'll just have to knock them all down."
"So, what are we doing standing around here," Davis, "Lets get a move on."
"After you, living legend," TK said as he stepped aside.
Davis held out his digivice and pointed it at the computer.
"Alright gang! Back to the Digital World we go! Digital Port open!"
A glowing light started coming right out of the computer and it sucked the three children in. They all went through a vortex that led them directly from their world and back inot the Digital World.
As they got there, the Digi-Destined turned to see their digimon. Upamon was now Armadillomon. Demiveemon was now Veemon once again. Poromon was now Hawkmon.
"Whoa! You changed back," Cody said.
"When we return into the Digital World, we change back to our rookie forms," Armadillomon said.
"Wow. So you were Poromon?"
"Yes. And now I'm back to being me, Hawkmon."
"Ok. Lets save the introductions for some other time. We got a Digimon Kaiser to track down," Davis said.
"Lets not jump into any conclusions. He could just be hiding around just to get to us. We have to keep our eyes peeled for any dark towers," said TK.
"Why dark towers?" asked Davis.
"We believe that they maybe the source to the dark ring's power," Gatomon replied, "So if we destroy them, the rings will come off of the enslaved digimon. But this is just a theory of mine."
"And lets hope it works," Kari said.
"Then lets get a move on gang," Davis said, "Anyone who sees a dark tower, just holler!"
"Hey Davis? I'm ready to digivolve whenever you want me to."
"Lets just save it when there's trouble brewing."
"Right. I'll just conserve my strength."
"Good thinking."
The Digi-Destined walked through the forests in search of any dark towers that were standing around. So far, there hasn't been any. So the children were given a chance to explore as much ground as they can.
***********************************************************************************
Izzy and the Digimon Kaiser found a nearby television monitor, which the Digi-Destined use to get back to their own world. Izzy held up his digivice.
"Don't fail me, Izumi. I'll be waiting here."
"Do not worry. I won't let you down."
As soon as he said that, Izzy was now gone as a result of transporting himself back to the real world, in which he would find the three Digi-Destined. It was none other than Sora, Mimi and Joe. The Kaiser was now planning on having them as slaves. He had hoped to enslave Tai and Matt, but the two leaders were gone and out of sight. This was the Kaiser's chance to take advantage and destroy the Digi-Destined one by one.
Suddenly, his digivice started going off. His digivice picked up readings from the other Digi-Destined. They were just nearby.
"Grr! It's those kids again! I've had enough!"
As soon as he said that, he whistled out and a large Tuskmon comes charging down. He then stopped in front of the Kaiser and kneeled on the ground. The Kaiser got onto Tuskmon's back and pointed out towards the forest.
"Into the forest. We're off to get those meddling Digi-Destined! It's time to put them out of their misery. I don't want runts like them ruining my master scheme!"
With that being said, Tuskmon charged into the forest and led the Digimon Kaiser down towards the section where the Digi-Destined were lurking.
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined were still walking through the forest and kept their eyes peeled in search for any dark towers that were nearby.
"You see anything yet, guys," asked Davis.
"No nothing yet. No dark towers anywhere," replied Veemon, "Uh. I'm getting pretty hungry, Davis."
"Oh you can wait for another hour, can't you?"
"No way, when my stomach growls, its time to scarf down!"
"Huh?"
Yolei turned around as if she felt something rush past her. Hawkmon noticed this and went up to her.
"What's wrong, Yolei?"
"Didn't you just feel something rush past you?"
"Hmmm. To be quite honest, I did feel a wave of negative energy just go by here."
"Lets go catch up to the others so that we don't get lost."
"I'm with you."
They started running towards the others in attempt to catch up to them. They waited for Yolei and Hawkmon. Davis was impatiently tapping his foot while watching them.
"Where were you two?"
"Hawkmon and I thought we felt something walk by here, but I guess it's just our imagination."
"Well just stay together, we don't want to spend the whole day looking for you two. We have to look for any dark towers."
As soon as he said that, a dark tower was looming over the horizon. Davis looked up to see it and gasped.
"Hey! I found one! It's right there in front of us," Davis pointed out, "Come on! Lets go knock it down!"
Just as Davis and Veemon were running up to the dark tower, a large energy blast exploded right in front of them. Davis and Veemon go flying back as a result of the explosive impact. As the smoke cleared away, Tuskmon was standing there with the Digimon Kaiser jumping off onto the ground.
"What do you think your measly children are doing here? How dare you trespass on my territory."
"Your territory?! Who gave you any right to plant dark towers here?" TK asked while clenching his fists.
"I'm the only Digi-Destined worthy to come here. You wannabes should leave if you want to live."
"We're worthy Digi-Destined! We came here first and we're not going to allow you to destroy this world," Kari replied.
"Oh is that so? Well, I guess I'll just have to change your minds."
"What have you done to Izzy?! We deserve answers," Yolei growled.
"If I told ya'll, I would have to kill ya'll. But, since I'm not in the mood to put up with inferior brats such as yourselves, I'm going to let my pet here take care of you. Tuskmon, get them and rip them to shreds!"
Tuskmon stood his ground and he started powering up. His muscles bugled and the ground around him was starting to shake. The digimon felt his power rising tremendously. This is due to the fact that he is possessed by one of the Digimon Kaiser's dark rings.
"Davis! I'm ready whenever you are!"
"Cody!"
"Yolei!"
"Right," the three kids said in unison, "Digimental Up!"
[Armor Evolution theme "Break Up!" plays]
All three of their D-terminals were activated and released their three useful digimentals. The digimental of courage sent energy to Veemon as he got ready to evolve.
"Veemon armor shinka! Flamedramon the Fire of Courage!"
The digimental of love sent energy to Hawkmon, giving him the energy he needs to evolve into his armor form.
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Halsemon the Wings of Love!"
And finally, the digimental of knowledge gave Armadillomon the power to evolve into his armored form.
"Armadillomon armor shinka! Digmon the Drill of Knowledge!"
All three armors were lined up with one another as they faced off Tuskmon. The Digimon Kaiser decided to stay and watch.
"Tuskmon! Don't you fail me now! Get them!"
Tuskmon charges right at the three digimon. Flamedramon phases out which catches Tuskmon by surprise. As he turns around, he gets decked right in the face. Halsemon goes flying up and swoops down on Tuskmon. He nails her with a head butt into the stomach. Tuskmon goes staggering back. Digmon goes under and shoots out his drills right at Tuskmon.
"We better high tail it out of here," TK said, "That way we can take out that dark tower..."
"Oh no you don't! Tyrannomon arise!"
With that being said, three Tyrannomon came popping their heads out of the tree canopies in the forest. They looked down across the two Digi-Destined kids.
"I don't think you're going to make a difference as long as I am around," said the Kaiser.
"You better tell us where Izzy is now," Kari demanded, "We know you enslaved him! You better bring him back or else!"
"Or else what? Are you going to have your digimon evolve and kick my butt? Ha! I laugh at your stupidity! Now, Tyrannomon I want you to get those two kid's digimon and dispose of them at once!"
"No! You leave them alone," TK cried out.
"Attack!"
The Tyrannomon shot out fire blasts at Patamon and Gatomon but they were able to escape the flaming blasts and escape through a small opening in the forests.
"Kari! This way," Gatomon cried out.
TK and Kari followed their digimon through the forest in hope to escape the Tyrannomon.
"Don't just stand there! Eliminate them immediately!"
But just as the Tyrannomon was about to attack, several energy blasts nailed the Tyrannomon from behind.
"What?! Who did that?!"
Flamedramon, Digmon and Halsemon appeared out of the cloud of smoke. Tuskmon was laid out. It was the result of a triple team by the three armored warriors.
"TK! Kari! You two get into that cave! We'll take everything from here," Flamedramon said.
"Be careful!"
"Don't worry, Kari. I won't let you down," Davis said, "Ok Flamedramon! Let them have it!"
"Fire Rocket!"
Flamedramon threw his fist back and launched several fireballs at the Tyrannomon, but one lashed out his tail and evaporated the fireball. Flamedramon growled angrily and flew up.
"Running away from the battle I see! What a smart move by your pathetic excuse of a digimon," said the Kaiser.
"Why don't you shut your mouth for once and watch what he's about to do next. Show him, Flamedramon!"
Flamedramon started to power up and two flaming energy balls were forming in his hands. His body was starting to glow a red color and he held out his two hands.
"Flaming Fist!"
Flamedramon went flying down towards the Tyrannomon and fires away at them with powerful flaming energy balls that knocked them each to the ground. Then he spun into a tornado and knocked them off of their feet. As the Tyrannomon went tumbling down, Flamedramon flies up and shoots down a large wave of fiery energy in attempt to put them away. A huge explosion takes place and Flamedramon started to catch his breathe.
["Break Up" ends]
TK and Kari watched as a large cloud of smoke was starting to cover the large portion of the forest.
"Next time, we better tell those two to watch where they are aiming," TK said.
"No kidding."
"TK! Kari! You got to take a look at this," exclaimed Patamon.
"What is it?"
"Kari, you'll be surprised at what you'll find."
TK and Kari walked over to where Patamon and Gatomon were pointing. What could be so significant to find in such a gloomy cave? When they found what their digimon were pointing at, a gasp of shock came across their faces. Right in front of them were two digimentals, oddly shaped ones to be precise.
"More digimentals? What? Do we really have to wait for more new kids to lift them up," TK asked.
"There aren't anymore left. I really doubt that."
But soon, they got a better look at the two digimentals. There were symbols embedded on them. They were two similar symbols. The symbols of Hope and Light!
"TK! Look! One of them has the crest of hope on them!"
"What?!"
"And the other has the crest of light! C'mon!"
They went over to the two digimentals. Kari examined hers.
"Its to beautiful. So what do we do now? Do we lift them up?"
"Just go for it, Kari. Then I can armor shinka just like the others can."
"Its worth a try," TK said," What do you say, Patamon?"
"Mmmhmm! Go for it! I'm ready!"
"Alright. Here goes nothing."
TK grabbed his digimental and easily lifted it up. Kari did the same thing and lifted hers up as well. A shocked look came across their faces.
"I'm stronger than I thought," Kari said, "Ok. So what now?"
"Just say Armor Shinka Energize just like the others have."
"Oh ok. I get it now. You ready, TK?"
"As I ever will be!"
"Digimental Up!"
["Brave Heart" plays]
Their two digimentals both released a large amount of light energy. This energy was then sent to the two digimon. They were ready to evolve into their armored forms. The digimental of hope sent power to Patamon for him to digivolve.
"Patamon armor shinka!"
Patamon watched as his body got larger and two pairs of feathered wings came out of his back. He became horse-like and developed a facemask of some sort. As he got done evolving, he landed on the ground and he was glowing a beautiful golden aura of light.
"Pegasusmon! Galloping Hope!"
The digimental of light sent power to Gatomon for her to evolve into her armored form.
"Gatomon armor shinka!"
Gatomon watched as her body grew larger and her face became that of a sphinx. Her body was now more lion-like than cat-like. Two wings came out of her back. She was glowing a gorgeous pink aura as she landed on the ground.
"Nefertimon! The Angel of Light!"
TK and Kari were stunned at what they say. Now their digimon were able to digivolve into their armored forms. This was completely unheard of.
"So, TK. How do I look?"
"Your awesome, Pegasusmon!"
"And you're beautiful, Nefertimon. Now we can fly more often."
"Well don't get too excited. These wings haven't broken in yet."
"Alright. Now that we got our digimon to evolve into their armored forms, lets go help our friends! They made need our help," TK said.
"Mmmhmm. Are you ready Nefertimon?"
"You bet I am! Lets go!"
TK and Kari hopped onto the backs of their respective digimon as they set off out of the cave and into the skies of the Digital World. They began to search for the large dust cloud that was just looming over the horizon just a couple of minutes ago. To their luck, they managed to find a small dust of smoke within the air. That must be where the others were. Pegasusmon and Nefertimon flew off there in a hurry in hopes to stop the Kaiser's slaves from destroying the other Digi-Destined.
["Brave Heart" ends]
**************************************************************************************
Flamedramon was catching his breath as the smoke began clearing away. The Kaiser was in shock and almost wanted to rip his hair out.
"So, how do you like your pets now, Kaiser?!"
["Run Around" plays]
Suddenly as the smoke cleared away, the Tyrannomon were still standing around with several scratches on them but were unaffected by Flamedramon's attack. Flamedramon could only look on in total horror at what he just saw.
"No way…how could he…that's impossible," Davis muttered but was in so much shock that he couldn't even speak properly.
"Ha! I told you that your attempts are useless! Now I shall have my pets finish off your digi-friends. Tyrannomon, attack and show no mercy!"
"Get ready, Flamedramon! You're better than these guys! Let them have it!"
"Fire Rocket!"
The Tyrannomon held out their claws and the fire blasts were easily vaporized. Flamedramon was even more shocked at what he just saw.
"We'll take it from here," Halsemon said as he flew up above the Tyrannomon.
"Go get them," Yolei cried.
"Tempest Wing!"
"My turn! Rock Cracking!"
However, these attacks were easily vaporized by the Tyrannonmon's blazing fire attacks. Then the large dinosaurs took advantage by powering up. Flamedramon goes to attack but one of the Tyrannomon phased behind him and nails him in the back with his tail. Flamedramon goes flying back as he fell to the ground. Halsemon tries to fly but is caught by another one of the Tyrannomon. The monster then tossed Halsemon to the ground. Digmon was next to attempt to attack but another one of the Tyrannomon grabbed him from behind and tossed him up as if he were disposable garbage.
"Ha! I told you that your digimon were inferior against my pets. Now watch as they become the main course meal for the Tyrannomon! Go on my pets, eat them up!"
"No! Flamedramon!"
"Halsemon!"
"Digmon!"
Just as the Tyrannomon were about to approach the fallen heroes, two energy beams nail the three Tyrannomon as they went falling to the ground. The Kaizer looked up.
"What was that?!"
And to his surprise, it was Nefertimon and Pegasusmon with Kari and TK.
"Alright! Its TK and Kari," Yolei said.
"Yeah and those digimon must be Patamon and Gatomon," replied Cody.
"Alright Kari! Nice timing! In about a minute there, they were about to be dino food!"
"Well be glad that we were able to save them in time, Davis," said TK.
Nefertimon and Pegasusmon landed as the other digimon took a good look at them. Digmon takes a good look at Nefertimon.
"That's Nefertimon. As Gatomon, she used the digimental of light to armor shinka. Her attacks include Rosetta Stone and Cat's Eye Beam."
Flamedramon takes a look at Pegasusmon.
"And that's Pegasusmon. As Patamon, he used the digimental of hope to armor shinka. Her attacks include Equis Beam and Star Shower."
"So, you managed to get more of your digimon to armor shinka. Well its not enough to put away my precious Tyrannomon," the Kaiser said.
"Ok, I'm beginning to get sick and tired of his big mouth," Davis said.
"Right! Pegasusmon! Lets do it!"
Pegasusmon flew up and the Tyrannomon gained composure. They then fired several fiery blasts at Pegasusmon, but he was able to manuever away with his tremendous speed.
"Nefertimon! Lets help them out!"
"Right!"
Nefertimon joined in to help Pegasusmon out.
"Alright, are you ready to finish this," asked Pegasusmon.
"Time to take out some dark rings," said Nefertimon.
The two flying digimon circled around the Tyrannomon. The dinosaurs fired away several blasts at the two but they were able to quickly phase out. They gasped in shock and turned around to see the two fires away two large blasts right at them. A huge explosion takes place as the three Tyrannomon fell to the ground. Pegasusmon and Nefertimon come together and watched as huge ball of energy started to form.
"Alright. This will put an end to their dark rings."
"Ready...aim..."
"FIRE!"
They fired the large blast right at the Tyrannomon as it caused an electrical shock to surge throughout their bodies. As a result of this, their dark rings shattered into pieces and the Tyrannomon were free of the Kaiser's evil control.
"Alright! We got the dark rings," cried out TK.
"Now let's destroy that dark tower," Kari said.
"Allow me. Blazing Fist!"
Flamedramon spins into a tornado and goes right for the nearby dark tower. He goes right through it and powers up a fireball blast, puts his hands back and releases it as he vaporized the dark tower with ease.
The Digi-Destined cheered happily at what just happened. They managed to break the dark rings and destroy the dark tower in one full swoop.
"I don't believe this! Grr! Next time, you kids won't be so lucky!'
As soon as he said that, a large dragon digimon flew up and picked him up.
["Run Around" ends]
"Ah! He's getting away," Davis said.
"Forget him. We won the battle today," Cody said, "So what do you say we knock some more dark towers down. That way we can clean up the mess that the Kaiser left."
Pegasusmon and Nefertimon landed down to let Kari and TK climb off.
"I agree. The more dark towers we dispose of, the less trouble it will save for us," TK said.
"Yeah. But one thing worries me," Kari said, "I'm worried about what Izzy is going to do next. Its not his fault that he's doing the Kaiser's dirty work.
"Don't worry. We'll get him back. I promise you," TK said, "He won't enslave our friends and get away with it."
TK turned to face the others.
"So what do you say? Knock down some more towers and head on home," TK asked.
They all nodded their heads as the digimon proceeded to knock down and vaporize more of the Kaiser's dark towers in a matter of moments.
***************************************************************************************
The Kaiser looked on through his digivice and noticed that several of his areas that were full of dark towers were quickly vanishing before his very eyes.
"What? More towers being destroyed?! Gr! Those rotten kids are becoming a pain in the ass! Grr!"
Suddenly his cell phone was going off. The Kaiser answered it.
"Hello?"
"Master. I managed to round up the other Digi-Destined. The three teens you wanted. I brought Joe, Sora and Mimi."
"Excellent. And did you place the dark rings on them?"
"Yes sir. They're all ready to serve you my lord."
"And what did you do to their digimon?"
"I locked them away just as you wanted along with that annoying bug that used to be my friend! I'm glad you got that pain in the ass out of my way."
"Your very quite welcome. I shall reward you for this. Now everything should go according to our plan. The Digi-Destined may have beaten us today but we have outsmarted them in the end. Ha! Ha!"
**************************************************************************************
Izzy was standing by inside the Kaiser's base. He was talking to the Kaiser by the cell phone as they continued on their conversation. Behind him were six glowing purple eyes. As the darkness cleared away, there was Sora, Joe and Mimi standing there with evil smirks on their faces and their possessed eyes glowing with hatred and darkness. And around they're index fingers were small dark rings. Now business is about to pick up and the new Digi-Destined have no idea what the Kaiser has up his sleeve!
The new Digi-Destined may have won this battle but they didn't win the war. Now the Kaiser has managed to snare Mimi, Sora and Joe onto his side using the influence of the dark rings! How will the Digi-Destined be forced to fight their own friends?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Who is the Digimon Kaizer?! Its Time to Unmask the Boy of Evil!
A soccer ball was being kicked into a net of a soccer goal. Davis had kicked the ball and made another perfect shot. He is attempting to establish himself as a living legend. Today was the day where his team would face the opposing team, led by kid genius Ken Ichijouji. Davis has been looking forward to this game for the entire season. Now he would prove himself by playing head to head against Ken.
"So are we getting excited Davis," Demiveemon asked.
"You bet! Tomorrow is the big game! And our opposing team is led by kid genius Ken Ichijouji."
"Who's he?'
"He's a kid who's really smart and he's really good at sports, including soccer. He's been their team captain for several seasons and they've been an undefeated team since."
"Wow that's awesome. But I bet he's not as good as you, Davis!"
"We'll just have to see! I'm looking forward to seeing ourselves becoming the first beat to hand Ken's team their first loss. So that way I can establish myself as the true living legend."
"I know you can do it, Davis."
Just then, the other Digi-Destined walked up to him.
"Practicing hard as possible," TK asked.
"Yeah and I'm going to show that kid genius what I'm truly about."
"Well good luck to you Davis. We'll be in the crowd rooting for you," Kari said.
"Cool! You're coming to the game, Kari!"
"Yeah, we're all coming."
"Great. Then you can see me put a serious butt whooping on Ken's team and end their undefeated streak."
"I wouldn't take that kid genius so lightly," Yolei said, "Not only is he the best but he's sooo dreamy…"
"Umm. Yolei. Your point?'
"Be sure to get his autograph for me, ok?"
"Sure, whatever."
"We'll see you later, Davis," TK said, "Keep up the practice, you'll need it."
"Ha. Ha."
Davis looked back to the soccer ball and towards the goal. He quickly visualized himself with a huge soccer trophy and the crowd chanting his name.
"Umm. Earth to Davis."
"Oh? What is it, Demiveemon?"
"I'm getting kinda hungry, lets get something to eat."
"Yeah. Enough practice for today. Lets go chow down!"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the Digital World, there was a large base in the middle of a large forest. This base belonged to the Digimon Kaiser. In fact, there were several dark towers looming over the horizon.
Inside the base, the Kaiser was sitting in a chair and looking at several monitors. Wormmon came crawling up to him. Kaiser turned to face him with an angry look on his face while clenching his teeth.
"Master. Do you got any diabolical plans for today?"
"None whatsoever. I got a huge game to concentrate on tomorrow. So I'm leaving Izzy in charge while I am out."
"Can I come?"
"No!"
"But I want to see what you do for fun when you're not out enslaving digimon and placing more dark towers. Please."
"N! O! What does that spell? No! You can't come because I say so!"
Izzy came walking in. The Kaiser turned to face him. An evil smirk came over his face.
"Ahh Izzy. It's so nice to see you. I'm sure you know what to do while I am out."
"Yes, sire. We shall plant more dark towers and make sure those Digi-Destined don't foil our plans."
"Yes. Where are the other good slaves of mine?"
Izzy snaps his fingers as Sora, Joe and Mimi came walking out of the darkness. Her eyes were glooming over towards the Kaiser as they bowed their heads.
"Excellent. I should have no problems with you then," the Kaiser replied, "Make sure there are enough dark towers planted. Don't fail me."
"We won't," the enslaved Digi-Destined said in unison.
"Good. Now I'm off."
The enslaved Digi-Destined went back to work around the Kaiser's base. Now they were in control of the operation. Wormmon could only look on with sadness in his eyes. All he wanted to do is watch his master play soccer. Nothing else. The poor little digimon never got the chance to even leave the base unless it was because the Kaiser says so. He would one day try to reach to the Kaiser and open his heart.
***************************************************************************************
The very next day, the soccer field in the center of town was becoming crowded as people from different schools came to see this much anticipated game.
Davis was with his team while they were waiting for the arrival of their opposing team, which were led by Ken Ichijouji.
Davis' friends were out in the crowd as they got prepared to watch their friend go out and give it his all.
"Hey Davis! We're rooting for you all the way," Kari cried out.
"Make sure to get his autograph for me," Yolei shouted.
Davis waved to them and let them know that he was going to have this whole game under control. But would it be that easy as he says it is.
Suddenly, a bus stopped by and out came the opposing soccer team. Davis looked on and waited for the arrival of Ken Ichijouji. And to his great pleasure, Ken came walking out of the bus.
"There you are Mr. Big Shot. Lets just see how good you are. I've been waiting since this day."
The girls in the crowd were screaming out at the sight of Ken. All of them had hearts in their eyes but security was there to restrain them Yolei was no different. She was holding Poromon tightly at the sight of Ken.
"Oh! There he is! There he is! What a hunk! I wish he would hold my hand."
"Oh brother," Cody said.
Ken's teams walked down to face off against their opponents. Ken looked over to Davis and smiled. Davis turned to face him.
"I just want to wish you luck on the game," Ken said, "Best of luck to you."
Ken extended his hand. Davis quirked an eyebrow and shook his hand.
"Yeah same here. I've been training for the day to meet you. Now my dream has finally come true, Ichijouji. Prepare to get shocked."
"I'll be looking forward to that."
["Let's Kick it Up" plays]
As soon as they said that, the teams got into their places. The referee flipped a coin, Ken called heads. It landed on heads. Ken started the game off which set off the crowd and electrified them. Davis attempted to catch up to him but Ken was able to quickly maneuver past several of Davis' team players.
The tide quickly turned to Ken's favor as his team was basically taking the first half of the game. Yolei was cheering for Ken while the others were shocked at the techniques that Ken was using in the game.
"Man. He's good," said TK.
"I've never seen anything like that," Kari replied, "He's basically carrying his whole team."
Then as the second quarter was drawing to a close, Ken was about to kick in another goal shot but Davis was there to stop him as he slid into Ken's knee. Ken fell to the ground and looked at his knee. It was scrapped and bleeding from the wound.
The final horn sounded which ended the game. It was Ken's team won by 7 against the other team, who made only 2 points.
"Let's Kick it Up" ends]
As the team was shaking each other's hands in a lined up row, Ken looked over to Davis and walked up to him.
"Wow. That was a good save you made there, Davis. I never saw that coming."
"Well I just couldn't let you score anymore."
"You trained a lot and you certainly proved to me out there. So, till we meet again."
Ken extended his hand out. Davis shook it. Both boys stared each other down. Ken smiled and walked off. Davis got the chance to become a living legend despite losing the game. He was the first to ever stop Ken like that.
**************************************************************************************
"So, you two shook hands," asked TK.
"Yeah. He said till we meet again. Man, I'm looking forward to next year."
"Just as long as you take him down a few more times, then Ken will consider you a major rival," Cody said.
"Don't worry. He's all mine. And once I top him, I'll become the living legend that I always dreamed myself about."
"Ugh! You make me so mad! You got to touch him but you didn't even get his autograph for me," Yolei said.
"Wasn't my fault? You should have gone down to see him and get your autograph there."
Suddenly, TK's digivice started going off.
"Oh, its a distress call from the Digital World," TK said.
"What does it say," asked Kari.
"It says. Help! We need your help! The Kaiser is attacking with more enslaved digimon. Signed Sora. Sora needs our help!"
"Lets go," Davis said, "Now I'm ready to kick some tail! Since I can't beat Ken, I'll establish myself as a living legend by beating the Kaiser's brains out!"
"Then what are we waiting for? To the Digital World," Yolei said.
***************************************************************************************
Sora turned to face Izzy with a smile on her face.
"They should arrive here any moment," Sora said with a deep tone in her voice.
"Good. We shall make the Kaiser proud when we unleash Deltamon on them," Izzy said.
"The Kaiser has returned," Mimi said, "Shall I tell him about the children's arrival?"
"Nah. Not yet. We want him to be proud when he sees them crushed under Deltamon's feet."
"Yes."
"Izzy. They have arrived," Joe said while looking at the monitors.
On the main monitor, it displayed the Digi-Destined in full unit.
**************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined began looking through the sandy grounds. It seemed barren and barely any life.
"I bet you that a cactus can survive this place," Davis said, "Man! I'm dying of thirst!"
"Ugh. I don't think even water will help our thirst out," Yolei said.
"Sora has to be here somewhere," TK said.
"Sora! We're here," Kari cried out.
"Hey look! I think I see Sora," Gatomon said as she pointed out to a shadow in the background.
As the dust settled away, Sora stood there with a smile on her face.
"Sora! We're so glad to see you," TK said.
Sora stepped aside as Izzy stood behind her. The children gasped in shock.
"Sora, what are you doing with Izzy. He's under the control of the Kaiser! Get away from him as soon as possible," Davis said.
But as they looked closer at her, they saw a dark ring around her finger. They all gasped in shock.
"Then that means! Your also under control," said Kari.
"Yes that's right," Sora said, "And I'm not alone."
Joe and Mimi appear from behind Izzy and turn to face the children. Their smiles on their faces were giving off eerie vibes towards the children.
"They also got dark rings," Kari said, "We're in big trouble you guys."
"And that's not all," a dark voice said.
The children looked up to find the Digimon Kaizer. He looked down at them with a evil smile on his face.
"I also got a big friend that would like to personally meet you. Arise Deltamon!"
The ground shook and a blast came bursting out. An explosion occurred and as the smoke cleared away, Deltamon was standing there. He was a large blue dinosaur with two hands that resembled heads. One was a skull and the other was a cybernetic enhanced head.
"Whoa! Now that's something I wouldn't want to wake up and see every morning," Davis commented as he looked up in shock.
"What is that thing," Yolei cried out.
"Mind your manners! This is Deltamon! He's a virus type digimon making his home here in the Valley of No Return. His attacks include Triple Force and Serpent Bite! Deltamon destroy them at once!"
"Ok Veemon! Get ready to armor up!"
"You got it!"
Cody, TK, Kari and Yolei turned towards their digimon and nodded their heads. The digimon nodded their heads back. The Digi-Destined watched as their d-terminals started to activate. Then their digimentals were powering up.
[Armor Digivolution theme "Break Up" plays]
"Digimental Up!"
"Veemon armor shinka! Flamedramon! The Fire ouf Courage!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Halsemon! The Wings of Love!"
"Armadillomon armor shinka! Digmon! The Drill of Knowledge!"
"Patamon armor shinka! Pegasusmon! The Galloping Hope!"
"Gatomon armor shinka! Nefertimon! The Angel of Light!"
Then the five armors surrounded the large champion Deltamon. The monster turned in all directions and began firing at them all at once. The armored digimon managed to maneuver away in time.
"Nefertimon! Pegasusmon! Give me a boost," Flamedramon shouted.
They both picked up Flamedramon on their backs. He started to power up and form a fireball in his hands. He looks down at Deltamon.
"Fire Rocket!"
Flamedramon shoots right at Deltamon and it knocks him away a few feet. Flamedramon flies down and right at Deltamon. He spins into a tornado and nails Deltamon. Flamedramon phases behind Deltamon and fires away several blasts at Deltamon.
"Deltamon! Engage Triple Force," commanded the Kaiser.
Deltamon did so and his three mouths opened up. Then three energy blasts came out of his mouths and straight towards the digimon. They went flying back as Deltamon goes walking to them.
"Now finish them off," Izzy said, "Finish them..."
"Izzy! Don't let the dark ring take control of you! Your better than that creep the Kaiser," TK said.
"That's right! You would be fighting on our side. Your our friend," Kari replied.
Izzy looked blankly at the two and started to come to his senses. He shook his head and looked towards the Kaiser.
"Don't you dare betray me! I gave you this chance to be at my side as a partner. Don't let me down and don not buy into their pity sentiments."
"Sora. Mimi. Joe. Please come to your senses. Your all better than the Kaiser," TK said.
Kari then replied, "Fight on our side."
["Break Up!" ends]
The Kaiser screamed in anger and didn't realize that Davis was sneaking up behind him.
"Don't listen to them! I command you Digi-Destined! Don't give into their false demands!"
"I've just about had it with you and your big mouth," said Davis.
The Kaiser turns to face Davis and watches as the boy tackles him down into the ground. Then the two went rolling down a hill. Davis was strangling the Kaiser as hard as he could.
"I don't know what your deal is but you better let them out of your control now! Or I'll bruise you up so hard that you're going to need a blood transfusion when I get done with you!"
"I'd like to see you try, that's if we even live after this disastrous fall!"
Davis watched as the hill was sloping down into barren ground. Both boys fell flat on their backs and felt ache all over their body. Deltamon looked over to Davis and walked over to him. Davis looked up in shock.
"Flamedramon...I need...you...c'mon..."
"Eat him alive, Deltamon," the Kaiser cried out, "He's all yours as the full coarse meal!"
Davis yelled as Deltamon was about to snatch him. Suddenly, a flaming fist rammed into the gut of Deltamon. The towering giant goes staggering back as he held his chest. Flamedramon phases out of nowhere and gets into a fighting stance.
"Yeah! Flamedramon!"
"What's wrong, Deltamon? You missed me? Sorry to disappoint you but the party just got started."
Deltamon roared in anger as he went charging right for Flamedramon. Flamedramon phases out and reappears right in front of Deltamon's face. Flamedramon began throwing punches at Deltamon's face. Deltamon goes staggering back and falls to the ground. Flamedramon looks down at the fallen monster and cups his hands together.
"FLAME-"
Deltamon attempted to get to his feet as quick as possible before Flamedramon would launch his next attack. The Kaiser and Davis both watch on desperately.
"THROWER!"
Flamedramon pushes his hands back and watches as a large wave of fire nails Deltamon right in the gut and easily disintegrates the dark ring that was around his waist.
"Looks like you lose again, Kaiser," Davis said.
Deltamon runs off as he realized his defeat. Flamedramon hovered down to meet with Davis.
"Now it's your turn," Flamedramon said, "Lets dance, Kaiser!"
"I would love too but now isn't the time. I got far more better things than playing with your amateurs."
"What are you talking about?! Your a kid just like us."
"I can't believe that I got beat by the same person in one day."
"What do you mean...same day? Hey! How did you get that cut on your leg?!"
Davis looked down at the Kaiser's leg and it was wrapped with a bandage. Then he just realized something and he couldn't believe. He let out a gasp and looked up to face the Kaiser straight in his eyes.
"No! You couldn't be… You couldn't…"
"I could and I am!"
The Kaiser takes off his goggle shades and reveals himself. An evil smirk came over his face and his eyes were glowing a dark color. This was a full indication that he was truly evil.
"Ken Ichijouji?! No way!"
"Well farewell for now, my worthy adversary. Digi-Destined time to go!"
A large dragon came flying by as the Kaiser hopped onto his back. Then the dragon went to pick up the four possessed Digi-Destined.
"I can't believe it," Kari said.
"Ken is the Digimon Kaiser! Why that no good…" Cody growled.
"Ugh. No way...And I wanted his autograph," Yolei said.
Davis looked up and fire was fueling in his eyes. He clenched his fists and stomped his foot down.
"So, you want to mess with us?! Oh, don't worry! I'm already your worthy adversary! Just you wait till what I do to you!"
Now that the Digimon Kaiser has been revealed to be Ken Ichijouji. Will the new Digi-Destined fight off a foe that is a human being? And most importantly, how will they get their friends back to normal?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The Storm of Friendship and The Samurai of Sincerity! Lighdramon and Shurimon Emerge!
Deep in the darkest regions of the Digital World, the Digimon Kaiser's base was looming over a horizon. Just around the base were sets and rows of dark towers that were recently placed there.
Within the base, there were several cell prisons containing digimon prisoners that were captured by the Kaiser. None of them had any dark rings placed upon them but they soon would become slaves and if they wouldn't cooperate, they would be put out of their miseries. This was a cruel way to keep such innocent creatures and taking away their own free will. It will just to satisfy the wants and desires of an evil being such as the Kaiser.
The main chamber room was unoccupied at the moment. The Kaiser had not returned just yet. Wormmon was lying on the ground and waiting for his master. Sadness overcame him over the fact that the Kaiser would rather enslave digimon than have them as friends.
"Oh Ken. I know deep down, you wouldn't do such a cruel thing. How could you enjoy hurting so many digimon? If only you will listen to me."
Just then, the chamber doors started to open as the Kaiser came walking in with Izzy, who now has become the Kaiser's most loyal servant.
"So what is this plan that you were dying to discuss with me, Izzy?"
"You will be rather pleased at what I have in plan. Now, as you know, that the dark towers have prevented the digimon from evolving. Well, since they are unable to digivolve into their champion, ultimate and even mega forms, I thought of creating you an ultimate digimon with the use of this device that I made."
Izzy held out a small digivolve that looked similar to Ken's digivice but it was gray with purple outlines. The Kaiser examined it and smirked.
"So? It looks like my digivice."
"Yes but it has tremendous powers that will enable us to create this monster."
Izzy connected the small device and hooked it with one of the Kaiser's main computer cables. He typed in a password to release its information. Then, an overview came on. The Kaiser smiled at what he saw. On the overview, it was a terrifying monster with devastating powers.
"Brilliant Izzy. This should come into good use."
"Yes. The other Digi-slaves shall help me build it. It will only take a whole day to complete. This will be the perfect way to keep those Digi-Destined out of our hair for a while."
"Yes and I'm so glad you thought of it sooner."
"Anything to please you, my lord."
Wormmon had heard enough and decided to butt into the conversation.
"Ahem. Master?"
"What is it, you overgrown night crawler?!"
"Well, I was just wondering. Since none of the Digi-Destined's digimon are able to reach their champion levels. Maybe since I can become my champion leveled form that you could use me? What do you say?"
"You know, he's right, master."
"No! Izzy, get to work with that monster."
"Yes sir."
"And as for you! Don't you ever butt into our business! Is that clear?! How am I able to complete my conquest of taking control of the Digital World if you keep interfering?!"
"That's unless you want to fail yet again. Hmph!"
The Kaiser turned away and looked at his monitors to view the farthest regions of the Digital World in search of the Digi-Destined. But there are no signs of them.
Suddenly, the confrontation of Davis kept replaying in his mind. He tried to shake it off but it kept replaying to the point where Ken couldn't even control it.
Flashback
"Wow. That was a good save you made, Davis. I never saw that coming."
"Well I just couldn't let you score anymore."
"You trained a lot and you certainly proved to me out there. So, till we meet again."
Ken extended his hand out. Davis shook it. Both boys stared each other down. Ken smiled and walked off. Davis got the chance to become a living legend despite losing the game. He was the first to ever stop Ken like that.
End of Flashback
The Kaiser clenched his fists and grinded his teeth in sheer anger. Those thoughts replayed in his mind to further his anger.
"He had no right to make a fool out of me. Nobody makes a fool out of me twice on the same day."
Flashback
"I've just about had it with you and your big mouth," said Davis.
The Kaiser turns to face Davis and watches as the boy tackles him down into the ground. Then the two went rolling down a hill. Davis was strangling the Kaiser as hard as he could.
"I don't know what your deal is but you better let them out of your control now! Or I'll bruise you up so hard that you're going to need a blood transfusion when I get done with you!"
"I'd like to see you try, that's if we even live after this disastrous fall!"
Davis watched as the hill was sloping down into barren ground. Both boys fell flat on their backs and felt ache all over their body.
"Looks like you lose again, Kaiser," Davis said.
"Now it's your turn," Flamedramon said, "Lets dance, Kaiser!"
"I would love too but now isn't the time. I got far more better things than playing with your amateurs."
"What are you talking about?! Your a kid just like us."
"I can't believe that I got beat by the same person in one day."
"What do you mean...same day? Hey! How did you get that cut on your leg?!"
Davis looked down at the Kaiser's leg and it was wrapped with a bandage. Then he just realized something and he couldn't believe. He let out a gasp and looked up to face the Kaiser straight in his eyes.
"No! You couldn't be... You couldn't..."
"I could and I am!"
The Kaiser takes off his goggle shades and reveals himself. An evil smirk came over his face and his eyes were glowing a dark color. This was a full indication that he was truly evil.
"Ken Ichijouji?! No way!"
"Well farewell for now, my worthy adversary. Digi-Destined time to go!"
End of Flashback
The Kaiser stomped his foot down and walked out of his chamber.
"Heh. With my newest creation, you won't make a fool out of me again. I will have my revenge upon you, Davis. Nobody makes a fool out of the Digimon Kaiser and gets away with it. Damn you, Davis."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the real world, the Digi-Destined were all gathered in the computer lab. They were thinking about the events that had occurred recently.
"I just can't believe Ken Ichijouji is the Digimon Kaiser," Davis said.
"Yeah And I can't believe I was going to ask for his autograph. An autograph from a crazed lunatic who wants to take over the Digital World," Yolei said.
"But the question is, how are we going to fight an enemy that is a human being," TK replied, "This isn't going to be easy. We can't just destroy him. We have to try to at least stop him."
"Your right. But the question is, how?" Kari said.
"If only, we had enough experience the past Digi-Destined had," Cody said.
"And I can't believe the fact that we also have to fight against our own friends," Kari said, "Izzy, Sora, Joe and Mimi."
"Don't worry, Kari," Davis said as he clenched his fists, "We'll get him for this. I promise you that."
Just then, the computer was picking up a traced area that didn't contain any dark towers within the area. There was a flashing pinpoint located.
"Hey take a look at this," Yolei said, "Its located at an area where there are no dark towers."
"I say we go and take a look," TK said.
"Maybe there's something important that maybe useful to us," Patamon said.
Gatomon nodded and said, "Lets go before the Kaiser reaches to it first."
They all nodded in agreement. Davis got to his feet and held out his digivice.
"I don't care what it is, but we're going to see it before the Kaiser lays his slimy hands on it! Lets go gang!"
"Are we ready? Al right! Digital port open," Yolei said.
All of their digivices started to go off as the screen let out a light that sucked them right into a vortex that would eventually lead them into the Digital World.
***************************************************************************************
The Kaiser sat down and monitored his screens to keep an eye out for any intruders within the area. Suddenly, he sat up and smirked.
"Well. Well. Those kids managed to show up. Excellent. They have no idea what I have in store for them."
Izzy came walking in.
"Good news, sir. The monster is finally complete and is ready to attack at your command."
"Excellent. Don't send him just immediately. Wait until I give a signal. I'm going to give those Digi-brats a little visit."
The Kaiser walked out of the chamber and took an elevator shaft out of the base. Izzy walked back to where his working chamber was located to inform the other slaves.
**************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined walked through what seemed to be a small canyon valley and a barren landscape. They found a mine cart and decided to hitch a ride on it. This way they could get farther than by walking.
Davis looked into his digivice and pointed out directions to where it would lead.
"So Davis, what do you think it could be?" asked Veemon.
"I don't know buddy," Davis said, "But whatever it maybe, it may help us a lot in beating that Digimon creep!"
"Yeah! I can't wait. Maybe its another digimental."
"What part of the Digital World is this," asked Cody.
"To tell you the truth, I have no clue," said TK, "I've never really been here before."
"And I've only been here for a few times to even know," Kari replied.
Suddenly, they came to a stop as Davis had already told Yolei about the location of the item from his digivice.
"Its around here you guys, lets move on out," Davis said.
The children got off the mine cart and went on to explore around the area that the item that Davis has been looking for may be located around this area, which was a barren and mountainous landscape.
"Anything yet, Davis?" asked Veemon.
"We'll know once we find it," Davis replied.
As they came walking across a long trail across the barren landscape, they came across what looked like a formation. There was some sort of symbol embedded on the rocks above and on the ground laid a weird shaped object with a sharp horn popping out of it.
"Hey! Is this it?" Davis asked as he looked at his digivice. "Yeah! This is it you guys! Lets go check it out!"
Davis and Veemon ran up to the small object as they others tried to catch up to him.
"Hey! You know, you could of just waited up for us," said TK.
Davis kneeled down as he took a closer examine to it.
"Hmmm. It's a digimental. Just like you predicted, Veemon," Davis said.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Lift it up and we got ourselves a second digimental."
"Hold on. How do we even know that it's yours, Davis," asked Kari.
"You know your right."
"Hmmm. And that symbol on those rocks look familiar," TK said.
TK took a closer look at the symbol and he just remembered something about it.
"Wait! That's the symbol of the crest of friendship! That's the one my brother, Matt, had in his possession. What now? Do we have to wait for another kid to pick this digimental up and claim to be the newest chosen child?"
"Lets all take a turn and find out if it belongs to any of us," Cody said.
"Good idea," Armadillomon said, "And I was about to eat it."
They all chuckled at his comment and agreed to each take a turn. TK went to pick it up first.
"Alright. Here goes nothing."
TK tried lifting it up with all of his might but to no avail. He lost breath and gave out from that pulling.
"Nope. Not mine. Your turn, Kari."
Kari went to pick it up. Gatomon encouraged her to lift it up. But Kari eventually gave out and rubbed her throbbing hands.
"No dice. I couldn't even lift it up either."
Cody decided to take a shot at it. He rubbed his hands together and used every ounce of his might to picking it up. But he was also unsuccessful.
"Nope. Not mine either."
Yolei took a turn and picked it up. But no matter how much she pulled, she couldn't even pick it up. Eventually, she fell backwards onto her behind.
"Ow! Painfully, it's not mine either."
"Looks like it's down to us, Davis," Veemon said.
"Yeah. Its time for a real man to do the job."
TK and Cody let out a sigh and rolled their eyes.
"Ok Davis. This is your chance. Lets do this one for the team,"Davis said to himself,"You got friendship to offer. So its time to use it."
But just as he was about to lift the egg, a huge energy blast came heading their way. Veemon sensed the energy coming right for him and Davis.
"Davis! Duck!"
Veemon pushed Davis to the side as the energy blast came flying right past them. The blast hits a nearby mountain and it exploded within a flash.
"Gee! That was close! Thanks, Veemon!"
"There's the reason for that sneak attack!"
Veemon pointed up to the sky as the others looked up as well. There hovered a large dragon monster looking down upon them. And on his back was none other than the Digimon Kaiser himself. He looked down and smiled.
"Well. Well. It looks like my old friends have arrived. Nice to see you again."
"Well we're not at all happy to see you again!" Davis said, "Why don't you crawl back under the dark tower where you came from?"
"Wow! Nice comeback? Did you write that yourself," the Kaiser asked as he let out a laugh, "You kids humor me so much but its time to end this childish little games. I have a treat for all of you and I would like to personally introduce to you, my latest creation that my slaves and I cooked up in our little laboratory."
"What? Don't you learn ever to give up," Cody asked, "Why don't you just accept defeat?'
"I never said for you interrupt me little boy. Now as I was saying, behold! This is my new creation!"
The Kaiser pointed out to a nearby mountain. The children turned to look towards it. Within a matter of seconds, a huge explosion took apart the mountain as it came tumbling down into large debris. Then a cloud of smoke started to form.
"What the heck could have done that?" asked Yolei.
"I don't know and I don't want to find out," Hawkmon said.
"It released a large amount of energy," Gatomon said, "And there's no way that a champion leveled digimon could have that amount of energy."
"Lets hope so," said TK.
As the smoke started to clear away, a large figure started to come out. His stature looked so familiar. Even TK and Kari could recognize it. They both gasped at what they saw.
"No, it can't be…its…its…Metal Greymon," TK cried out.
The others gasped and turned to see what seemed like and eventually was, Metal Greymon. But this one seemed different. It was gray and black instead of the normal orange color it usually would have.
"But that's not the Metal Greymon we know," Kari said, "The real Agumon is in another dimension with Tai at the moment."
[Digi Analyzer: Metal Greymon. Ultimate-Level. This one is a Virus Type unlike his Vaccine counterpart. Special Techniques: Giga Blaster & Mega Claw]
"That's right! I've been telling you that I created him," said the Kaiser.
"How could you create a digimon for your own?! What gives you any right to do so?" asked TK.
"I do when I want and what I want. Now, Metal Greymon, destroy them now!"
The viral Metal Greymon started walking towards them.
"Ok guys! Lets put this ugly mug away!" Davis said as he held out his digivice, "You ready Veemon?"
"You bet! You just give me the signal!"
"Right!"
Davis' D-Terminal opened up and the digimental of courage came out and released energy for Veemon to evolve.
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
"Digimental Up!"
"Veemon armor shinka! Flamedramon! The Fire Courage!"
"Ok! Its your turn, Hawkmon!"
"I'm ready!"
Yolei's D-Terminal activated and the digimental of love came out and released energy for Hawkmon to evolve.
"Digimental Up!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Halsemon! The Wings of Love!"
"Armadillomon!"
"Lets kick some tail!"
Cody's D-Terminal activated and the digimental of knowledge came out and released energy for Armadillomon to evolve.
"Digimental Up!"
"Armadillomon armor shinka! Digmon! The Drill of Knowledge!"
"Patamon! Digivolve!"
TK's D-Terminal opened up and the digimental of hope came out and released energy for Patamon to evolve.
"Digimental Up!"
"Patamon armor shinka! Pegasusmon! The Galloping Hope!"
"Gatomon!"
"Lets do it!"
Kari's D-Terminal opened up and the digimental of light came out and released energy for Gatomon to evolve.
"Digimental Up!"
Gatomon armor shinka! Nefertimon! The Angel of Light!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
"Oooo! Now this should get interesting," the Kaiser said, "Attack them, Metal Greymon! Don't show any mercy!"
The evil Metal Greymon let out a roar and went charging at the five armors.
"Ken! We're taking you down and once we do, you better give a good explanation of your actions," Davis said, "You hear me?!"
"Yes and that's not going to happen as long as I have my latest creation killing you all! Ha! Ha!"
"Ok big guy! Lets dance! Fire Rocket!"
["Break Up!" plays]
Flamedramon shot out several fire blasts at the evil Metal Greymon. However, the fireballs fizzled as they nailed the evil Metal Greymon.
"Nice try, but my pet has armor on his body. You can't even penetrate it with those pathetic fireballs! Metal Greymon, engage Giga Blaster attacks now!"
"Giga Blaster!"
Metal Greymon opened up a hatchet in his chest as a large amount of energy came sucking in. He unleashed it in the form of a large missile that went straight for Flamedramon. Flamedramon was able to maneuver away just in time. But as soon as he did that, Metal Greymon quickly phased behind him and nails him with his patented Mega Claw. Flamedramon went flying into the ground.
"Hey! That's not fair!"
"Who said it would be fair?" the Kaiser said, "Metal Greymon is an ultimate leveled monster. You can't even faze him!"
"C'mon Flamedramon get up!"
Flamedramon tried getting to his feet but to no avail. He fell back to the ground as his entire body was in tremendous pain.
"We'll take it from here," Yolei said, "Halsemon!"
"At your service! Tempest Wing!"
Halsemon shot out powerful laser beams from his eyes and sent them straight at Metal Greymon. But the large monster deflected them by swiping them out with his claws.
"Ah! No way!"
"Ok! Time for a little drill time," Digmon said as he activated his drills. "Rock Cracking!"
Digmon used his drills to crack the ground open as Metal Greymon noticed a large crack forming under his feet. He was about to fall into the opened ground, which gave Digmon the chance to shoot out his drill attacks at the towering behemoth.
"Alright, Digmon! We got him," Cody said.
"Told ya so!"
Just then, Metal Greymon hovered up with the energy he had and shot out his Mega Claw attack.
"Digmon! Look out!"
Just as Digmon turned around, the huge claw attack nailed him right in the face as he went flying back.
"Digmon!"
"Kari! I got an idea! Lets order Nefertimon and Pegasusmon use their golden noose on Metal Greymon and allow the others to attack."
"Great plan, TK! Nefertimon, you hear that?!"
"We're right on it."
"Piece of cake," Pegasusmon said, "Ready."
"Yes."
Nefertimon and Pegasusmon flew right around Metal Greymon. As they encircled him, a golden rope started to form and it tied right around Metal Greymon.
"Golden noose!"
Metal Greymon saw himself getting caught in a very powerful rope as he tried to get himself free. The others watched on with amazement.
"What?! No! Metal Greymon!"
"Attack now!"
Flamedramon got to his feet and his fists flaming up with anger. He used it as an advantage to fuel his energy to release his next attack. Digmon and Halsemon did the same. Then they shot out their next attacks.
"Blazing Fist!"
"Tempest Wing!"
"Gold Rush!"
The three combined attacks formed into a large energy ball that it nailed Metal Greymon. A huge explosion takes place as smoke was starting to form. The Digi-Destined watched on and covered their eyes from the smoke. The Kaiser gasped in shock.
"Did we get him?" asked Davis.
"We'll see. These type of enemies are never usually easy to beat," TK said, "Especially ultimate leveled kinds."
["Break Up!" ends]
As the smoke cleared away, Metal Greymon was still standing there unscathed. Not even one single scratch on him. The Digi-Destined and their digimon watched on in shock. They couldn't believe that he survived such a blast.
"No way! That's impossible!" Davis said, "We gave it out best shot!"
"Ha! Ha! Not even your best shot was able to get the job done. You children disappoint me. Now it's time to finish this little game. Metal Greymon finish them now!"
Metal Greymon clenched his fists as a dark aura formed around him. He let out a loud roar as the ground started to shake and crumble under his feet. He faced the Digi-Destined and his chest opened up. Energy was being sucked in and missile came out.
"Giga Blaster!"
The missile went straight for the digimon as it nailed them. A huge explosion took place as the five digimon went flying back. They all reverted back into their rookie forms.
"Veemon!"
"Davis… When's lunch…"
"Grr! Ken! You're going to pay for that!"
"My name is the Digimon Kaiser and it's not over by a long shot. Now Metal Greymon shall crush them one by one."
Metal Greymon walked over to the fallen digimon and looked down upon them. The Digi-Destined looks up and protected their digimon as if they were shields.
"Very well. If you chose to shield your digimon, then so be it. Metal Greymon. Kill them."
"No! I won't let you hurt my friends! You keep that ugly mug away from them! How could you even think that way! Damn you," Davis said, "They're my friends and I won't let you kill them. You hear me!"
As Davis let out a cry, his D-Terminal reacted and opened up. Davis turned to see the digimental that he attempted to pick up was hovering towards him. Veemon watched as it landed into Davis' hands.
"It's coming to me."
"Yeah. It's your digimental of friendship, Davis. Take it. Then I can armor up into another form."
"Yeah! Just what I wanted!"
"I'm ready. I'm ready to take this big ox down!"
"Right!"
Davis held up the digimental and it glowed a blue aura. It released energy and sent it straight for Veemon. He absorbed the energy and started to evolve.
[Metallica's "Ride the Lighting" plays]
"Digimental Up!"
"Veemon armor shinka!"
His body came long and four-legged. Then lighting started to emit throughout his body and a large horn came out of his head. He jumped up and let out a large surge of electrical energy.
"Lighdramon! The Storm of Friendship!"
"Whoa! Who is that?" asked Kari.
[Digi Analyzer: Lighdramon, or Raidramon. Vaccine. Armor Evolution from the Digimental of Friendship. Special Techniques: Blue Thunder & Thunder Blast]
"I am Lighdramon. As Veemon, I used the digimental of friendship to armor into this awesome form. My attacks include Blue Thunder and Thunder Blast!"
The Kaiser gasped at what he saw and smirked.
"So is that supposed to impress me and my pet? Ha! Who are you kidding?! Metal Greymon! Attack now!"
"Davis! Lets ride!"
"Yeah!"
Davis got onto Lighdramon and they went flying at Metal Greymon. The towering monster fired several missiles but Lighdramon was able to maneuver away from them. Metal Greymon turned to see Lighdramon quickly phase behind him. Lighdramon maneuvered above Metal Greymon and released a large amount of electrical energy. The monster felt its effects as he stumbled backwards.
"Yeah! That's the way! Now let him have it again!"
"Thunder Blast!"
Lighdramon released a large amount of electrical energy and it sent a shockwave through Metal Greymon as he came tumbling to his feet.
"Looks like we got him on the run! Time to finish him off," Davis said.
"No! For some reason, his energy is depleting. I must get him back to the base! You may have won this time, Digi-Destined. But I'll be back! Metal Greymon! Lets leave now!"
The Kaiser hops onto Metal Greymon's back as they set off back to the base. The other Digi-Destined tried to catch up to him but he was long gone from the battlefield.
["Ride the Lighting" ends]
"We'll get them next time, Lightdramon. But you totally rocked," Davis said.
"We haven't seen the last of Metal Greymon, he was just at his weakest stage."
"What do you mean, Lighdramon?" Davis asked, "We had him on the run. We almost had him."
"If he had reached to one hundred percent of his true power, I would have been beaten for sure. We must not underestimate the Kaiser's monster."
"He's right," Gatomon said, "We have to raise our energy levels, while in our armored forms. That way we can beat Metal Greymon for sure."
"But how do we know for sure that he won't just come back when we least expect it," asked Cody.
"Don't worry, he'll follow Ken's base and we'll just track them down from there," Yolei said.
"And then we can get our friends back for sure," said TK.
Kari nodded in agreement.
"Then looks like we have a lot of work to do Lighdramon," Davis said, "Ready for a little training?"
"Davis! Lets get some grub and get to the training. You can't work on an empty stomach anyways."
"I almost forgot. I owe you."
"Besides, I can't wait to increase my power level in this form. I can do a lot with Flamedramon since he can fight but Lighdramon is more of a transportation form."
"Right. So lets get you faster, you're more agile as Lighdramon. Like I said, we have a lot of work to do."
**************************************************************************************
The Kaiser looked through a laptop as he received a message from Izzy.
"My lord. I found an upgrade device for Metal Greymon to use. It seems that we must have misplaced it. But with this upgrade, he should be ten times stronger than he was before. I guarantee you that he will crush those Digi-Destined in one full swoop."
"Lets hope so. I am starting to get tired of those annoying brats interfering. Their digimon are getting stronger. Well now time to make things a more difficult for them. Metal Greymon, in no time at all, you'll be indestructible with your new upgrade! So are we ready to go tomorrow?"
Metal Greymon unleashed a terrifying roar, which would bring chills down any digimon's back.
"That's a good boy. The Digi-Destined will fill your stomach right up. It's only a matter of time that I take over the Digital World! Ha! Ha!"
**************************************************************************************
Later that night, there was activity going on over at the Digimon Kaiser's base. Nobody had any idea what was going on but the Kaiser knew very well what was taking place.
Just within the secret dwellings of the ship, several slaves were hard at work just to please the Kaiser.
Izzy and the others gathered around as they were discussing about Viral Metal Greymon's condition. Wires and cables were connected to his body as he was feeding off of some energy to keep his power in check.
"Sir. We managed to finalize the data of the upgrade device that Metal Greymon needs. We're ready to place it in him."
"Very good. Izzy, but are you sure this will help him?"
"Yes. In fact, it will increase his power tenfold. The Digi-Destined may have gotten an advantage over him the last time they fought but this time, it won't be another walk in the park. Trust me, this is the real Metal Greymon that will attack them."
"Good. Lets hope so."
Izzy opened the chamber containing Metal Greymon and carefully placed the upgrade device on his leg. The little device gave off a little beep and slowly more energy was supplied into the power cells inside Metal Greymon.
"In a matter of moments, Metal Greymon will be good as new."
"Excellent, Izzy. This way, we can finish those Digi-Destined off and with them out of the picture, we can complete our conquest of taking over the Digital World!"
"You're the boss."
Just then, the Kaiser's computer came on and Shadramon came into view.
"Ahh. Commander Shadramon. So nice to hear from you."
"Kaiser. There have been children invading my premises. So are these the new Digi-Destined you have been telling me about?"
"Yes and what do you want me to do about it?"
"Is the project completed?"
"Oh, he'll be done shortly. Just you wait."
"You better hope so, because these children's digimon have practically wiped out some of my best soldiers. Our forces have been dwindling since the downfall of Burizalor."
"Don't worry. I have everything under control. Trust me."
"Alright. Over and out."
The Kaiser turns his attention back to the capsule containing Metal Greymon and he had a smirk on his face.
"Soon those Digi-brats will be out of my hair for good. Wait till they get a load of the new and improved Metal Greymon. Ha! Ha!"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, just on the other side of the Digital World, the Digi-Destined arrived back in the Digital World as they were now in search of a new digimental. Davis had recently received his digimental of friendship. It's down to Cody and Yolei to receive their second digimental.
"So anything yet?" asked Yolei.
"Did you check your digivice?" asked Davis.
"Let's see."
Yolei looked at her digivice and the pinpoint location on the digivice suddenly vanished. This caught Yolei by surprise.
"Hey, guys. We got a problem. Now the location just suddenly disappeared."
"Huh? How did that happen," asked TK.
"I'm not sure. One minute, it was there and poof, it vanished. It doesn't make any sense."
"Maybe somebody took it," Cody said.
"I doubt that, because it would still be on our digivices and we can just always track down that person who took it," Armadillomon said, "Boy. I'm famished. I go for a nice bowl of rice balls and hot soup."
"Strange. This has never happened to us when we had to look for a digimental," Kari said.
"We have to keep trying to find it. It has to be around here somewhere," Gatomon replied.
"Maybe it flew away by itself," Patamon said.
"No way. We would still track it down through the digivices. And we still have the Kaiser to worry about. He's been sending out several armed forces to keep us at bay. I wonder what kind of upgrade he's giving Metal Greymon."
"Who knows? I just want to find that digimental and take his geeky carcass down," Davis growled.
Suddenly, the pinpoint reappeared on Yolei's digivice again.
"Hey, now it reappeared. This is really strange."
"Yes and where is it leading to?" Hawkmon asked.
"Over on that way."
Yolei pointed out to a nearby lake with a forest in the background.
"Wow, it's so pretty. C'mon guys, if we get there as soon as possible, we can get back home as soon as possible."
"Last one there is a rotten digi-egg," Yolei cried out as she ran ahead of the others.
They eventually caught up to her as they all stopped towards the large lake. The beauty of this lake was memorizing as the sunlight reflected through the waters, emitting an emerald blue color. Yolei looked at her reflection and smiled.
"I wish I had a pool like this," Yolei said, "I just love the color. If I were to grow up, I would want to live here with my future husband."
"Ummm, Yolei. Are you through day dreaming?" Hawkmon asked, "We're here on a mission."
"Oh yeah. Stupid me. Now, according to my digivice, the digimental should be over. There!"
Yolei pointed out to her left side and it led towards some bushes.
"Oh, over on that way it seems."
"Great, lets go get that digimental as soon as possible before it disappears," Davis said.
"Well its down to you and Yolei," Cody said, "The jury is out on the others. Its more likely that it belongs to you."
"I guess so. We'll just have to see to find out."
Yolei walked up to the bushes and reached out to push away several brushes. As she poked her head through, she goes jumping back and let out a scream. The others got worried and wondered what could have scared the crap out of her. And their questions would soon be answered as Shadramon came flying out.
"Oh great! Just what we need! We didn't expect some rude jerk to get in our way! Who are you?"
Shadramon phases in front of them as his fists began glowing a fiery red color. He turned to face the Digi-Destined and smirked.
"So you thought that you could just come around and take the digimental were you? Well, I don't think so. Looks like I just foiled your little plan."
"Ok, pal. What do you want with us? Tell us who you are," Davis demanded.
[Digi Analyzer: Shadramon. Virus. Armored type. The reserved special commander for Burizalor's surviving corps. Special Techniques: Flash Buster & Psychic Wave]
"No because I will not forgive you for destroying our dark towers. By orders of the Shadramon-Kaiser alliance, I will execute each of you. So who wants to take a shot at me?"
"So you're allies with the Kaiser? Figures. Ugh! If only I had that digimental and I would have Hawkmon whoop your sorry butt…"
"Are you referring to this item?" Shadramon said as he held out an odd-shaped digimental metal that had the crest of sincerity on it, "If you desire it, you're going to have to beat me for it."
"That won't be a problem," Davis said, "Veemon armor up and take him down!"
"Right!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
"Digimental Up!"
"Veemon armor shinka! Flamedramon! The Fire of Courage!"
Flamedramon and Shadramon faced each other off. Both of them glared at each other, while the others watched on.
"Your move, Shadramon."
"With pleasure."
Both fighters phased out and they flew right at each other. Flamedramon and Shadramon traded blows with amongst each other. Shadramon goes flying back as he flies right at Flamedramon. Flamedramon goes flipping back. Shadramon fires several blasts at Flamedramon but Flamedramon was able to maneuver past some of the blasts. Shadramon phases out and reappears behind Flamedramon. Flamedramon turns to face him.
"Are you done? Now it's my turn. Flash Buster!"
"Blazing Fist!"
Both warriors connected fists with one another and huge explosion took place. The others shielded their eyes from the huge impact and the ground started to crumble. Flamedramon goes flying back and lands hard on the ground.
["Break Up!" ends]
"No! Get up, Flamedramon!"
Shadramon hovered on over to where Flamedramon was laying.
"No I shall finish you off for good, Flamedramon."
Shadramon held out his fists and pointed them over to Flamedramon. He cried out as his fists were flaring up with flames. His entire body was glowing a red color as his power began to quickly increase.
"Hawkmon! Go and help him! We need to get that digimental back!"
"I'm on it!"
"Digimental Up!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Halsemon! The Wings of Love!"
Halsemon flies over Shadramon and fires out several beams at him. Shadramon was able to maneuver away from then with ease.
"You want to fight? I'll be more than glad to pound you into oblivion," Shadramon said, "You simple-minded creatures just don't know when to quit, don't you?"
Shadramon flies right at Halsemon and nails him with a fist to the face. Shadramon throws his fists back and launches a huge fireball attack at Halsemon. Halsemon goes falling down to the ground and was left for dead.
"That takes care of him."
"Fire Rocket!"
As Shadramon turned around, he was unable to maneuver away as he got nailed right in the face by one of Flamedramon's trademark attacks. Shadramon landed hard onto the ground and was slowly getting to his feet.
"Ugh! You're going to pay dearly for that!"
"Alright! That's the way, Flamedramon! Now we have to get that digimental away from him."
"Since none of you has a chance to ever defeating me, I might as well waste this piece of trash. So goodbye digimental!"
"Nooo!" Yolei cried out.
"Fire Rocket!"
Shadramon flips over and avoids the fire attack being sent straight at him. Flamedramon goes flying right at Shadramon and nails him right in the face with a fist. Shadramon goes flying back. The digimental goes flying up. Shadramon and Flamedramon look up as the digimental was up in the air. This was their chance to claim it. Either Flamedramon retrieves it and hands it over to either Cody or Yolei, or Shadramon simply destroys it.
"Flamedramon! Catch it!"
Flamedramon flies up and goes to snatch the digimental. But at the same time, Shadramon flies up and fires a blast towards it. Within a matter of seconds, a huge blast came their way and knocked both digimon away. The digimental continued flying up and it went dropping down. Yolei ran over to a rock ledge and jumped up as she hoped to snare it. It came closer and closer. The digimental landed right in her hands. Yolei caught it and fell to the ground.
"Alright! Way to go, Yolei!" Cody said.
"Nice catch!" Kari replied.
"Well since nobody was going to get it, I might as well take it. And since I took it, it belongs to me."
"But how do you know that," asked TK.
"Easy. I'm sincere enough to judge others as you can tell. I deserve the digimental of sincerity."
Shadramon got to his feet and growled angrily. He turned to face the Digi-Destined.
"You ungrateful children are going to pay for that! Now I'm going to tear each of you into shreds!"
"Shadramon abort your attack!"
Shadramon paused for a moment, as did the Digi-Destined. They all turned to see the Digimon Kaiser on the back of Viral Metal Greymon. The evil monster looked upon the children with his eyes glowing a red shot red. He let out a roar that sent chills down the spines of the children.
"Chosen Children. It is time for the ultimate rematch. Metal Greymon has managed to adjust himself a bit and now his new upgraded powers shall be enough to exterminate each of you. Now who would like to be the first volunteer?"
"Flamedramon! I don't think even we're more than a match for him now, we've just got our butts whipped by Shadramon."
"Yes and you should be thanking me. I was just the warm up, now you shall take on the real challenge. I'll be watching you all becoming Metal Greymon's next meal."
Shadramon flies up and decides to watch the fight from up in the air.
"Good. Once those children out of the way, then I can take Viral Metal Greymon under my wing and I'll finally break my alliance with the Kaiser and take over after him. Yes, victory will be mine in the end!"
Shadramon raised his fist, as a signal to the Kaiser to unleash Metal Greymon.
"So, are you ready for a full course meal. Well bon appetite!"
The Kaiser jumped off as Metal Greymon came charging at the children. Flamedramon and Halsemon shielded the children as they unleashed their attacks on Metal Greymon. However, they had no effect whatsoever on Metal Greymon.
"No effect! So what is so different about him? I don't see anything different," Kari said.
"Metal Greymon shall demonstrate for you."
The monstrous ultimate held out his hands and they transformed into cannons. He started to charge up and once he was finished, he released a large plasma energy wave at the two digimon. This sent Flamedramon and Halsemon flying back.
Armadillomon, looks like they're going to need your help," Cody said, "You willing to give a shot?"
"Like I have any choice."
"Digimental Up!"
"Armadillomon armor shinka! Digmon! The Drill of Knowledge!"
Digmon went flying up and he started delivering blows to the face of Metal Greymon. The monster went to swipe him away with his tail but Digmon maneuvered away just in time.
"Gold Rush!"
Digmon fired several of his patented drill attacks at Metal Greymon but he was able to deflect them with his claws.
"What's he doing now?" TK asked as he watched Metal Greymon starting to power up.
"Its a little modification I added into him. I hope you're pleased with the result. Metal Greymon, engage Special Cannon Beam now!"
Metal Greymon opened up his chest and it looked as if he were about to fire another one of his Giga Blasters but this time, a large wave of energy came out and it sent tremendous force against the three digimon as they went flying back. A huge explosion occurred as a result of this.
Then as the smoke cleared away, all that was left was a devastated landscape. The digimon all converted back into their rookie forms. Metal Greymon stood over them triumphant. Shadramon looked down with a satisfied look on his face.
"Excellent, Metal Greymon! You have done well! Now kill the children! Eat them if you are craving for hunger!"
Metal Greymon walked over towards the children as they started to back away. Their digimon were down and out. They had no chance of escaping. Yolei closed her eyes in fear as she held the digimental. Then she stood straight up and an angry look came over her face.
"No! I'm not going to run away. I'm tired of running away. I will show my friends that I am sincere and brave at the same time. I'm not the scared and whiny girl that everybody thinks that I am cause I am not. I sincerely declare myself a strong and an independent young woman! Hawkmon, please take the energy of this digimental. Its your turn, my friend."
Suddenly her digimental started to glow and the crest of sincerity shot out a beam of green energy towards Hawkmon. The others watched on in bewilderment as Hawkmon hovered up. His body was illuminating a bright green. He was ready to armor up.
"Digimental Up!"
The digimental released more energy into Hawkmon as his power was increasing. His body started to take another form. It was now a more human-like form.
"Hawkmon armor shinka!"
As he got evolving, he flew out as a ninja-like warrior with star-like weapons in his hands.
"Shurimon! The Samurai of Sincerity!"
"Whoa! You armored up! Wow! Cool get up! Shurimon, huh?!"
[Digi Analyzer: Shurimon. Data Type. Armor Evolution from the Digimental of Sincerity. Special Technqiues: Double Star & Ninja Wind]
"Yes. I am Shurimon. As Hawkmon, I used the digimental of sincerity to armor evolve. My attacks include the devastating Double Star!"
"Grr! So they managed to find another digimental! Well, Kaiser, you managed to screw things up this time," Shadramon said.
"Shurimon! Lets take this big mug down!"
"My pleasure."
["Let's Kick it Up!" plays]
Shurimon quickly phased. Metal Greymon was unaware of what just happened. He fired several blasts but each time, Shurimon was able to maneuver away from each blast being fired at him.
"C'mon Metal Greymon! You should be able to hit him! Why aren't your blasts hitting him?!"
Shurimon appears above Metal Greymon and shoots out several ki-blasts at him. Metal Greymon used his claws to shatter them into fragments but this gave Shurimon an advantage as he delivers a head butt into the gut of Metal Greymon.
"Grr! C'mon Shurimon! I'll give you the fight that you have been looking for," Shadramon shouted as he phased out.
"Shurimon! Look out!"
Yolei pointed out to Shardramon, who was flying towards Shurimon. Shurimon saw him coming and phases out. Shadramon turned around and ducks under from one of Shurimon's fists of fury. Shadramon twists to the side and goes for a kick to the face. Shurimon was able to phase out quickly and this left Shadramon all confused. Shadramon turns and looks up to see a beam coming right at him. Shadramon goes flying back as he manages to stop himself just in time.
"Double Star!"
Shadramon watches as two blade stars came right at him. Shadramon held out his claws and caught the stars. He crushed them under his fists and fired several fiery blasts at Shurimon.
"Looks like Shadramon has this under control," the Kaiser said, "Metal Greymon! Let us depart from here and continue our conquest of destroying the Digital World!"
Metal Greymon flies towards the Kaiser as the young boy jumps onto his back. The other Digi-Destined tried catching up to them but they were too late to stop them.
"Damn! We missed them," Davis said.
"And our chance to get Izzy and the others back," TK replied.
"Shurimon its time to end this," Yolei cried out.
"I don't think so. Shurimon, I would love to stay and fight but I must regroup. But the next time we meet, you won't be so lucky."
Shadramon flies up and gets away. Shurimon hovers back down to meet with Yolei.
["Let's Kick It Up" ends]
"Shurimon! You rocked! Now we can give Shadramon a good fight. I'm looking forward to the rematch."
"Yes and next time, he won't make any excuses up just so he can get strong enough to beat me."
"I'm impressed. Your the type of digimon I have been looking for."
"Why… Thank you, Yolei."
"Hey Shurimon! That was awesome at what you did to Shadramon," Davis said.
"Don't saver the victory just now you guys," Kari said, "the war has just begun and I believe the Kaiser knows that he can't make anymore mistakes. This is it."
"And we'll be ready for his Metal Greymon. But I just hope he doesn't get really strong. That would spell BIG trouble," TK replied.
The Digi-Destined looked out to the sunset. They were thinking of a way to counterattack the combined forces of the Kaiser and Shadramon, but also had to deal with the monstrous Viral Metal Greymon at the same time.
Can the Chosen Children hold off the allied forces of the Kaiser and Shadramon long enough, even if Hawkmon was able to armor up into Shurimon? And how will they revive Izzy and the others from out of the Kaiser's control?

Chapter Text
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine. It belongs to Akira Toriyama. I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X, Keke, and Max, because Max Acorn created them and I got his permission to use them.
SSJ4T: Hey, guys! I have a very important announcement.
Coral: Is it good news?
SSJ4T: Yeah, really good news. It concerns the Fusion series. As you know that I've started posting up Zero Two. But I've also decided to go ahead and start away on the D-Tamers series, which features both the Digi-Destined and the Tamers. That's right, it's here and you can read the first chapter, which will be posted a little later.
Coral: Whoa! Already?!
SSJ4T: Now, let me make myself clear before you guys ask me a zillion questions. I will still post up Zero two chapters. I'll be working by posting a Zero Two fic AND a Tamer fic for each update. That way you won't get lost. The D-Tamers series will contain SPOILERS from the Zero Two trilogy, which would involve the events in the Kaiser, Artificial and Virus sagas. Please read at your own risk.
Coral: But why go into the trouble to do this?
SSJ4T: So, I can speed up the process and feature the saga involving the Tamers. So, you've got plenty of Zero Two and Tamer Fusion chapters along the way. Unless school gets in my way, you'll see more updates.
Coral: Cool. I'm looking forward to the Tamers saga. Anything else?
SSJ4T: Actually, I'm also considering writing a Yu-Gi-Oh series. Here's what I have in plan: the YuGiOh cast will be placed into an AU fic along with the Tamers and Frontier cast.
Coral: Whoa! Really? At least, it's a big break from the Fusion series.
SSJ4T: This is just a thought. Anyway, I'm also planning on placing cameo appearances from characters of different anime series into this fic. You'll see Yusuke and his crew from Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon and her crew, Cardcaptor Sakura, Lime and her marionette sisters from Saber Marionette J…
Coral: But aren't Lime and her crew from another planet?
SSJ4T: Remember they're in an AU fic. They'll be human rather than marionettes. This mini series will mainly be focused on the YuGiOh, Tamers and Frontier crew. So far, the plot will involve a new duel tournament, which takes place to the events prior to Battle City. So, you'll expect spoilers for any of you YuGiOh fans. I don't know when I'll start writing this series. I'll need more time to think this over.
Max: Shit! You've got to post it soon! You're making me anxious already. Hey, aren't my dad and the Digi-Destined going to be in it?
SSJ4T: As cameos, maybe.
Max: Cool.
SSJ4T: I'm sorry that I couldn't give you dudes a guest, but I gave an important announcement. Is that any better? I hope so. Anyway, let's get on with the fic. Be sure to also check out the first Tamer Fusion chapter, which should be posted moments from now. Enjoy this one!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Unleash the Digimental of Reliability! An Old Friend Returns!
The Digital World was a nice and sunny day and in the horizon stood an oil platform that seemed to be abandoned. But what was an oil platform doing in the Digital World? That wasn't really an important question now as a huge explosion took place at the site.
Out of the smoke, Flamedramon, Digmon and Shurimon came flying out. A large serpent like monster stood facing them. It was Mega Seadramon and this one had a dark ring around his tail.
[Digi Analyzer: Mega Seadramon. Ultimate-Level. Data Type. Special Techniques: Mega Ice Blast & Thunder Javelin]
"I am Mega Seadramon! I am an ultimate level digimon. My Thunder Javelin will put you down for good."
"Ok Flamedramon! Show him what you're made of," Davis said.
"Lets go big and ugly. I don't have time to look at you all day."
Mega Seadramon lashed out his tail right at Flamedramon but missed by a long shot as Flamedramon quickly phased out. Flamedramon appears in front of Mega Seadramon and nails him right in the face. Then he hammers away at Mega Seadramon like a crazed madman. Mega Seadramon goes to snap his jaws right at Flamedramon but misses as Flemadramon again phases out. Mega Seadramon turns around and gets met with a Double Star right in the face. As he turns around, he finds Shurimon in a fighting position.
"Take that! You big creep!" Yolei cried out.
Digmon shot out his patented Gold Rush and sent his drills right for Mega Seadramon. The drills managed to nail Mega Seadramon as he roars out in pain. Digmon phases out and flies right at Mega Seadramon. He throws rapid fists at Mega Seadramon. Digmon flips back down and catches his breath.
"Yeah! You go, Digmon!"
"TK! Look, there aren't any dark towers around. I say, we digivolve into our champion forms."
"Alright. Is Angemon up for it?"
"You bet!"
"Gatomon?"
"Lets do it!"
TK and Kari held their D-3's as light started emitting from them. Then the light energy was sent straight for the two digimon. They absorbed the energy and started to evolve into their champion forms.
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" theme plays]
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Gatomon shinka! Angewomon!"
The two angels went flying up and over the towering sea monster, while the armored digimon were momentarily distracting him.
"Hand of Fate! HI-YEE!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
The two combined attacks nailed Mega Seadramon as he goes rocking back from the impact.
"Flamedramon! Attack now!"
Flamedramon flies right at Mega Seadramon and decks him right in the face. Mega Seadramon goes staggering back and coughing out in pain. Flamedramon throws his fists back and nails Mega Seadramon right in the gut. Mega Seadramon cries out in pain and staggers back. He has lost tremendous energy and was soon going to be beaten.
"So any last requests before we destroy that dark ring," Flamedramon said, "It really doesn't matter. We can resume where we left off."
Suddenly Cody just remembered something. He spoke up.
"You guys! You know why we came here in the first place," Cody said, "We have to look for my digimental!"
"He's right," replied Digmon, "I say Cody and I go in to find that digimental."
"And leave us hanging out to dry," Davis asked.
The others faced Davis and gave him glares. Davis flinched shrugged his shoulders.
"Go do whatever you can, Cody. Don't worry we'll take it from here," replied Davis.
"Thanks. Don't worry, we won't take long," said Cody.
["Evolution" ends]
As soon as he said that, Cody and Digmon went running towards the oil platform in order to retrieve their digimental. This was the last one and it was very obvious that it would belong to Cody. Davis and Yolei had recently received their digimentals of Friendship and Sincerity. Now it was Cody's turn.
As Cody went running up to the platform, he stopped and looked up to see somebody looking down upon him. It was Joe and he looked at Cody with possessed eyes.
"Stop where you are, Digi-Destined," Joe said, "By the orders of the Digimon Kaiser, I shall stop you."
"So you must be Joe. Please! Don't listen to the Kaiser anymore! Your better than he is," Cody said as he clenched his fists.
"The Kaiser has given me my free will. The free will to let me do whatever I please. No longer will I serve and protect the innocent from evil. Now I serve evil and it makes it easier for me to handle."
"But, TK and Kari have always told me that you were always a responsible person, no matter how great the disaster is."
"The old Joe Kido is gone. I am the new and improved Joe Kido. No longer am I the scaredy cat. Now I stand as a force that shall spread fear to others."
"Joe! Snap out of it! Please! Try to remember who you are!"
"Cody! I don't think he's going to listen to ya. That dark ring has him in complete control of the Digimon Kaiser. We have to get to the digimental at once."
"But we have to at least help him."
"I'm afraid it's too late for that," said a dark voice.
Cody and Digmon looked up to see who had just spoken and to their surprise, it was Shadramon. His fists were emblazing in flames. He came hovering down.
"So, you're looking for that digimental? Don't worry. You leave that to me. I'll keep a real close eye on it and hold on to it for you."
"No way! Your scum and I don't see why you even bothered to show up to fight us!"
"My, what a sensitive little creature you are. No, I came here to fight your pathetic of an excuse for a digimon. Digmon! Let us begin!"
"Cody! Get inside and grab that digimental!"
"But Joe is right there and he..."
"Just run past him. Since he has no powers to attack you with, you can run past him. Hurry, I'm depending on ya, Cody."
"Be careful!"
"Alright, big boy lets tango!"
"Digmon, you just sealed your last fate!"
Shadramon and Digmon went flying right at each other. Both of them traded blows with amongst one another. Both of them go flying back and flying right at each other yet again. Digmon and Shadramon lock up with Shadramon landing a head butt into the forehead of Digmon. Digmon goes flying back. Shadramon phases right behind him and kicks him right in the back.
Cody goes running towards the door of the oil platform but Joe jumps down in front of him. He held his arms out as a way to shield the doorway.
"This is the end of the line for you, kid."
"I don't think so!"
Cody kicks Joe right in the moneymaker as Joe howlers and doubles over on the ground. Cody rushes past him and pushes open the door. He looks at his D-3 and a pinpoint location was beeping. Cody was just inches away from the location of the digimental. He turns around and hears the doorknob turning. Joe is about to open the door. Cody looks around and finds several boxes piled on top of one another. He decides to hide inside one of the boxes.
"I know for sure, he won't find me in here."
The doorknob turned all the way as Joe came walking in. He was still holding his crotch as a result of that low blow from Cody.
"Ugh! I'm going to make you regret that you little punk! Damn you! I'm going to tear you apart now!"
Cody peeked through two holes in the box and watched as Joe began to survey the area in search of him. He could see Joe's eyes fueling with red anger. Cody began to worry how much longer could Digmon last a battle against Shadramon.
*************************************************************************************
"Gold Rush!"
Digmon shot out his patented drills right at Shadramon but the evil digimon was able to deflect them with his claws. He then shoots out several fiery blasts at Digmon. Digmon maneuvers away in time but weren't able to dodge Shadramon's onslaught attack of fury punches. Shadramon phases out again and reappears above Digmon. He holds his hand out and fires several showering blasts at Digmon. Digmon cried out in pain and fell to the ground as he started to lose consciousness.
"Had enough?"
"No! As long as Cody is still around… I'm not going to give out just yet…"
"Damn! Alright then, I'll just have to make you quit then."
"Cody. You need to hurry up! I can't hold out much longer."
[Final Fantasy VII Battle theme plays]
Meanwhile, the other Digi-Destined watched as their digimon were taking advantage Mega Seadramon.
"Alright, Flamedramon! Its time to end this fight!"
"Angemon! You and Flamedramon go for the dark ring now!"
"Metal Greymon! Go!"
The Digi-Destined turned to see the Kaiser on top of a building. He was pointing out and Metal Greymon came charging through several small oil platforms.
"It's Metal Greymon," Kari cried out, "TK we have to do something! We have to take on two ultimates now!"
"Two ultimates for the price of one. Who long do you think you brats will fare? We'll just have to find out, won't we? Metal Greymon engage Mega Blaster attack now!"
Metal Greymon's chest hatchet opened up and energy was being sucked in. Then after a few energy recharges, he sends the energy right back at the four digimon. Angemon and Flamedramon go flying back, as does Shurimon and Angewomon. As the smoke cleared, all four digimon were laying on the ground.
"Ahh yes! Destruction is just so great when you do it yourself. Metal Greymon, excellent work!"
"Flamedramon!"
"Angemon!"
"Shurimon!"
"Angewomon!"
Mega Seadramon regained his senses as he looked over at the devastation left by Metal Greymon.
"Mega Seadramon, you leave the rest of this to Metal Greymon. Go back and patrol the oceans, I order you to go!"
Mega Seadramon roared out and went back into the oceans as he resumed back to his guarding duties. Metal Greymon walked over to the fallen digimon.
"Now crush them, Metal Greymon! You blasted them and knocked them out cold! This is our chance for retribution!"
Metal Greymon walks over to Flamedramon and picks him up. Flamedramon cries out in pain as Metal Greymon squeezes him tightly under his tight grasp.
"Yes! Now crush him, Metal Greymon! Crush him now!"
Flamedramon cries out in tremendous pain as Metal Greymon continues to put the pressure on Flamedramon.
[FFVII Battle theme ends]
"You let him go, Ken," Davis said.
"Or else what? It's no use in trying to save him. You're going to witness the sudden death of Flamedramon right before your own very eyes!"
"Flamedramon!"
***************************************************************************************
Just as Joe was coming towards the boxes, Cody decided it was time to get away before he was found. Cody pushes up the box and tosses it right at Joe's face. Joe goes falling back and Cody manages to get away. Cody notices a ladder that leads down into a mining pit.
"Well I got to face my fear of heights sooner or later."
Cody started down as he climbed down the ladder. He looked up. To his relief, Joe wasn't following him.
"I nailed him pretty hard. I just hope we can get them back to normal. They don't deserve to become the Kaiser's slaves. But first things first."
Cody turns around and sees an odd-shaped object that looked to be long and oval in shape. And on the section of it, there was the symbol of reliability on it.
"Yeah! That's got to be mine! Digimental here I come!"
Suddenly, he felt a hand grab him by the shoulder. He turned to see if Joe had stopped him but to his surprise, it was Mimi. She looks down at him with a dark smirk on her face.
*************************************************************************************
Shadramon picks Digmon up and tosses him up into the air. Shadramon fades out and reappears above Digmon. Shadramon delivers a devastating elbow into the gut of Digmon. Digmon goes falling down as Shadramon goes following him. Digmon crashed into the ground and found himself to be in tremendous trouble. As he was slowly getting to his feet, Shadramon appeared right in front of him.
"Where are you going? Were not finished yet."
Shadramon snatches Digmon by the face and punches him right in the gut. Digmon coughs out blood and Shadramon delivers another punch to the face of Digmon. Digmon goes flying back. Shadramon walks on over to the fallen armored digimon.
*************************************************************************************
Mimi grabbed onto Cody as the little boy was struggling. Mimi smiled once again.
"Going somewhere little boy? Oh, are we looking for something?"
Mimi kicks Cody down to the ground and snatches up the digimental.
"I think I'll hold on to this."
"Hey! You give that back this instant!"
"You better say pretty-PLEASE!"
Mimi kicks Cody right in the gut and punches him in the face. She looks up. Joe comes climbing down.
"Great work, Mimi. Now we can inform the Kaiser that we've captured the last digimental."
"Right. I'll call him up."
Mimi pulls out her cell phone in order to call to inform the Kaiser the good news. Just then, the ground started to shake and the oil platform was starting to rock back and forth. Mimi and Joe both fell to the ground as a result and Mimi manages to drop the digimental. Cody snatches it after recovering and goes to climb up the ladder and out of the pit.
"No! He's getting away! Damn it! We better stop him, Joe!"
Joe nodded as they both went up to climb the ladder to chase Cody to retrieve the digimental back. However, Cody had the speed advantage as he ran out through the door and he found a pad lock. Cody places it over the door and locks it up.
"There, we won't have any more trouble."
Cody looked out towards the battlefield and watched as Shadramon was beating the living crap out of Digmon.
"Digmon! I got the digimental! Now we can use it!"
"Aww. Well isn't that too bad! Looks like poor Digmon won't be answering you at the moment. Here catch!"
Shadramon tosses Digmon down over towards Cody. Digmon lands hard and de-digivolves back to Armadillomon. Cody runs over to his fallen partner.
"Aw, isn't this sweet? I give them a few minutes to reconcile before I kill them."
"Armadillomon…"
"Co… Cody… You managed to get the digimental… but I don't think I have enough power left…"
"C'mon, Armadillomon. You can't quit now. Now that we got the new digimental, we can use it and you will be able to digivolve. Armadillomon, I'm not only responsible for myself but for you and everybody else!"
Suddenly Cody's digimental started to glow and Armadillomon's eyes widened as his power supply was being refilled. Armadillomon got up on his two feet and looked over at Cody.
"Thanks, Cody. Now I can armor up! I'm ready to go!"
"Here goes nothing! Digimental Up!"
[Armor Evolution theme "Break Up!" plays]
The digimental began to glow as it gave Armadillomon the power to armor up into his second form.
"Armadillomon armor shinka!"
Armadillomon's body became long and segmented. It evolves into the shape of a small submarine. Two fins came out of the side and a long spear pushed out through his nose. He was a brand new armored warrior as the smoke began to clear away.
"Submarimon! The Reliable Guardian of the Sea!"
"Armadillomon?!"
[Digi Analyzer: Submarimon. Vaccine Type. Armor evolution through the Digimental of Reliability. Special Techniques: Oxygen Torpedo & Submarine Attack]
"Yes. I am Submarimon. As Armadillomon, I used the digimental of Reliability to armor evolve. My attacks include my long spear and the Oxygen Torpedo. Plus you can ride inside of me as a submarine, so hop on in Cody."
Cody nodded as he got inside Submarimon. They turned to face Shadramon.
"So what, you changed your attire. That doesn't make you any stronger than me!"
"Submarimon, lets shut that big mouth of his!"
"I'm with you, Cody! Hang on tight!"
Submarimon flies up like a torpedo and Shadramon goes to attack but Submarimon phases out quickly. Shadramon turns to face Submarimon.
"C'mon and fight, you damn coward!"
Submarimon flies right at Shadramon in order to impale him with his long-nosed spear. However, Shadramon was able to phase out of the way in time. Submarimon turns to face Shadramon.
"Not bad for a amateur. But you still have no chance in defeating me."
"Oh yeah. Dodge these! Oxygen Torpedo!"
Submarimon shot out several missiles that were invisible to the naked eye. However, Shadramon was able to detect them and maneuvered away in time. Suddenly, Submarimon u-turns around Shadramon and nails him with a surprise attack Oxygen Torpedo. Shadramon goes flying back and holds his side.
"No! I can't be beat again! 'Till we meet again, Digi-Destined! I'll be back and stronger than ever!"
Shadramon flies off into the sunset as Submarimon lowers himself down into the ground.
"So, what do ya think Cody?"
"We make a great and unstoppable team! Now lets go help the others!"
"You got it!"
Submarimon flies over the waters. He sails off towards where the others were fighting.
["Break Up!" continues through the battle]
**************************************************************************************
Metal Greymon continued to squeeze the life out of Flamedramon as the Kaiser encouraged his monster on.
"That's it, Metal Greymon! Crush him! Kill him! Don't let go!"
"Flamedramon! Break free! I beg of you!"
"All of our digimon are down at the moment and Cody has been gone for a long time," Kari said.
"I'm beginning to worry about him and ourselves. Looks like this is it you guys," Yolei cried out.
"We can't give up just yet," TK said.
Viral Metal Greymon laughed as he spoke in a dark and deep tone.
"Goodbye… Flamedramon… It's time to visit limbo…"
"Oxygen Torpedo!"
Several missiles nailed Metal Greymon right in the back. Metal Greymon goes stumbling down. He turns to face Submarimon.
"Ugh! Its one of those kids! Metal Greymon engage Giga Blaster!"
Just as Metal Greymon was about to unleash his attack, two powerful blasts nailed him from out of nowhere. He turned to face Angemon and Angewomon.
"Alright! Now give him the big heavens blast attack," TK said.
"Combine powers!" Kari cried out.
Angemon and Angewomon both crossed their arms and their bodies were glowing a gold aura. Then they placed each other's hands together and pulled them away from each other as a large energy ball was forming from behind them. For some reason, they're own aura created this energy ball. This was one of their newest attacks while training for the past few years.
"What's this?!" the Kaiser shrieked.
"HEAVENS BLAST!"
The combined blast spiraled on over towards Viral Metal Greymon and nailed him as sparks were flashing. He tried to push it back but he watched as the beam went right through him. Metal Greymon screamed out in pain as he quickly fizzled out of existence. The Kaiser could not believe it.
"Alright! We did it!" Davis said.
The children celebrated as the two angels turned back into their rookie forms. TK and Kari caught and hugged their digimon on a job well done.
"No! This can't be happening! This is the last straw, Digi-Destined!"
"Aww. What's the matter? Are you crying and peeing in your pants, Ken?" Davis taunted the evil genius.
"You children will pay for your insolence! Now you have pushed me too far. You destroyed my Metal Greymon and now I shall unleash my newest monster from hell! Your worst nightmare shall come true and I intend to make you all pay dearly!"
["Break Up!" ends]
Kaiser jumps up as another one of his dragons flew up and picked him up. They set off back towards the base.
The children could not believe what they just heard. What kind of an evil scheme does the Kaiser have in store for them? If Metal Greymon wasn't bad enough, what could be even worse than him?
"Don't let him scare you guys," Davis said, "He's just toying with us. Besides if he really means it, we'll be ready. Right guys?!"
They all nodded but at the same time they feared what nightmare monster the Kaiser was referring to.
"So, did I rock, Cody?"
"You sure did and we made a total fool out of Shadramon. But it looks like we still have to deal with him again soon."
"Don't worry Cody. The next time he shows up, we'll beat him and the Kaiser. Just you wait and see."
"Ken! This war is far from over. Mark my words. If there's anybody who's bringing you down, its going to be me," Davis said to himself.
***************************************************************************************
The Next day...
It was a nice and beautiful day in the city of Odaiba. The skies were blue and people were walking around going in with their daily lives. However, that would all soon change. Dark skies began to cover the sunny skies. It was now beginning to sprinkle with drops of rain.
Everybody took refuge into they're homes and offices to avoid being drenched in the rain. However, Davis was on his way to school and was getting trenched along the way. He carried Demiveemon under his vest in order to hide him from every other person before they would cry out monster.
"Man! I really wish that I took the bus. Now I'm going in all soaking wet!"
Davis made it towards the school and ran inside to avoid getting soaked. He shook himself to get the water out of his ears. Demiveemon jumped up as he hoped up like a bunny rabbit.
"Yay! Can we do that again?"
"No. I don't know why you like the rain anyway."
"Cause I want to splash into those mud holes. Plus I like the mud squishing between my toes."
"Well, we can celebrate yet again cause we're late to another digimon meeting again."
"We're not that late."
"I swear. It takes you a long time to do your business than to get to school."
"Hey, its not my fault that I had to go."
"Well. Looks like its back to the Digital World to kick the Kaiser's butt again."
Davis picks up Demiveemon and walked up the stairs leading up towards the second level floor. As he walked down several doors, he found the computer room. The other Digi-Destined were sitting around discussing their so wonderful day in school.
"What took you so long?! Late again," Yolei said.
"Hey. It was raining. That enough for an excuse?"
"No! Why don't you take the bus like everybody else?!"
"There weren't any buses available."
"Yep. That's typical of you, Davis. You would rather walk than ride any bus," Kari said.
"Ok. So now that I'm here, lets get ready to go into the Digital World."
"Not today, Davis," replied TK.
"Huh? So why are we here?"
"We're here to tell you three about this being the most significant date of our lives," TK said.
"And that being?"
"This is the very day that the original Digi-Destined went into the Digital World. Kari and I are among one of them."
"We'll explain everything to you right now."
"Great, we get to listen to a story," Cody said.
"I'm in the mood for a little story," Davis said excitedly.
"Well it's not a story but its no tale either. Its the epic adventure we had in the Digital World."
The three new Digi-Destined all gathered around to hear the real life experiences that both Kari and TK had in the Digital World about three and a half years ago.
"It all started when six other kids and myself went to camp for the summer. And it was snowy, which is very unusual during the summer time."
"I missed camp that year cause I was out with a fever. I stayed home and didn't tag along until the later parts of the adventure."
"Anyways, the seven of us received objects what we now call digivices. These eventually opened up a portal. That allowed us to enter the Digital World. Then, we found ourselves on the first destination of our adventure, File Island. There we met our digimon. Tai got Agumon. My brother, Matt, got Gabumon. Sora got Biyomon. Mimi got Palmon. Joe got Gomamon. Tentomon became Izzy's partner. Patamon went with me. And one by one, our digimon began to digivolve after every battle we endured. Agumon was the first to digivolve in a battle against Shellmon. Gabumon was second in a fight against Seadramon. Biymon and Tentomon were next. Then Palmon and Gomamon. And last but not least, Patamon digivolved and what a debut Angemon made."
"Wow, they sure will make a good movie out of this,"Yolei said.
"I can't believe they were the first kids to enter the Digital World. It must have been some privilege," Cody said to himself.
"Man. Why didn't I go to camp?!"Davis replied to himself in inner thought.
"When Patamon digivolved, it was during a fierce battle against Devimon, our first encounter with any real evil digimon. He was about to wipe us all out until Patamon digivolved into Angemon and he used the last of his powers to finish off the evil Devimon. And he paid for it and I thought I would never see him again. But, I had no idea that he would come back in the form of a digi-egg. But I was sure glad to see him again."
"Well. It's good to know that Patamon was able to come back. Like you said, digimon never really die. They just get refigured," Cody said.
"Yeah and that was just the first part of our adventure. Then, we all traveled over to the Continent of Server, where we ran into yet another digital baddie, the rock and roll jerk known as Etemon. You see unlike Devimon, he was an ultimate level digimon and he was able to take apart all of our digimon, since they were only champion leveled at the time."
"So what happened?" asked Yolei.
"Well, we each managed to find our tags and crests that would enable our digimon to reach into their ultimate levels. According to Gennai, the powers of our crests would help our digimon get stronger as long as we believe in ourselves. And boy did it pay off! Greymon became Metal Greymon as a result of Tai's crest glowing. Then he was able to put away Etemon for good."
"And that's where I came into the picture," Kari said, "Tai and Koromon were brought back to the real world after defeating Etemon. And I was quite surprised to see Tai back but I wasn't surprised to see Koromon. Its like I remembered him and I had my first encounter with a digimon just four years prior to that time."
"So you and Tai had an encounter with a digimon before that time," asked Davis.
"Yes and believe it or not, the first digimon I met was a Koromon and I had no idea how he got into our world. I saw an egg coming out of a computer. Now back to the story, Tai and Agumon returned back into the Digital World where they would find the others, who were all separated as a result of Demidevimon attempting to breaking them apart to allow Myotismon to take their crests."
"Myotismon was a tough challenge. He too was an ultimate leveled monster but he was more experienced than Etemon. He was also looking for the eighth child, who at that time was Kari. He wanted to find and kill her."
"At that time, I was working for Myotismon and he sure didn't live up to the end of his bargain. I could have sworn I known Kari and I was looking for somebody. And with the help of Wizardmon, I was able to find Kari and she was the eighth child Myotismon was looking for and I sworn to protect her at all costs."
"Wow, that must have been a real bad experience to taking orders from such a creep," Yolei said.
"It was and Myotismon almost had his way in defeating us. As he went to kill us with his Grisly Wing attack, Wizardmon stopped in our way and paid the ultimate price. He had given up his own life just to save us. Anger built inside of me as I watched my old friend die right in front of me. I became Angewomon and dealt a deathblow to Myotismon with my Celestial Arrow. And I must say, it felt pretty damn good."
"However, that wasn't the end of Myotismon. Somehow, he came back in another form," Patamon explained, "He came back as Venom Myotismon. He was simply too much for us. So we were told of a prophecy from Gennai about shooting arrows from the loved ones to unleash a major power. So Angewomon and I struck arrows at Tai and Matt, which resulted in the digivolution of the new megas, War Greymon and Metal Garurumon. With their help, we were able to defeat Venom Myotismon for good."
"Gee, and that's not all?" asked Demiveemon.
"Nope. We returned back to the Digital World. Matt left our group and he joined forces with Burizalor's forces. Neo Devimon was sent to destroy the digital world. After a grueling battle, War Greymon and Leomon defeated him. It was proven that these monsters had powers, which were beyond the imagination. There were champions with enough power to annihilate a mega. Neo Devimon was a perfect example of this. Then, a masked warrior named X greeted us. He told us about the dangers ahead. He helped train Agumon into reaching his full maximum power. Eventually, my brother returned with a stronger Etemon. This Etemon made the first one look like a complete wimp. He destroyed some of our own digimon allies. Tai and War Greymon returned back to defeat Etemon. The real battle was set as he and Metal Garurumon locked up. Matt had returned as a completely different person. With Angemon's help, we were able to defeat Metal Garurumon. Unfortunately, he and Matt left back to Burizalor's base planet. X told us that there were four digicores on Spiral Mountain. It was a newly formed planet after separating itself from the main digital world. With Keke's help, we found a spaceship and flew out to Spiral Mountain. When we learned that another powerful force was destroying it and we soon learned that the inter-dimensional being known as Burizalor had invaded to collect four Digital Cores to wish for immortality. He and a group of evil megas known as the Dark Masters sealed away the four Holy Beasts of the Digital World," TK said.
"Matt and Burizalor had a dispute over the digital cores. Either one were desperate to gain immortality from the digicores. One by one, Matt was able to help us defeat some of Burizalor's stronger forces. Then we fought one of Burizalor's most ruthless hired mercenaries known as the Demon Corps. And we soon learned that Tai and War Greymon were connected somehow through the crests. War Greymon had reached power levels that were beyond our powers," replied Kari, "We each took out a member of the Demon Corps. Piedmon was the last to go and then the ultimate battle of our first adventure came when we battled the evil Burizalor."
"Tell us about this Burizalor," Davis said.
"Burizalor was a destroyer of many dimensional worlds and he plotted to destroy the Digital World and our own world if we didn't stop him. Since he wasn't a digimon or a digital life form, he had no problems traveling through dimensions. Taking lives and enslavement were all a personal game to him. He had no conscience at what he had done," Gatomon explained.
"Right. And it was even tougher for all of us," Patamon said, "Burizalor went through nearly four horrifying transformations to reach his final form."
"So it took War Greymon to challenge Burizalor's power but the evil monster was still too much. So we devised a plan to launch a Life Bomb at him. Everything went well. War Greymon unleashed his Life Bomb and was able to put Burizalor down for a good few moments. But the evil psycho was able to come back as he killed Sora and my brother. Leomon got seriously hurt. As a result of this, Tai and Agumon were intensely angered and their combined anger gave them the power to finally fuse to become Omega X! This was the first fusion we had seen and I must say, it was worth the wait," TK said, "Omega X was able to overpower Burizalor. But the evil tyrant wasn't going down without a fight. He sent a devastating attack called the Genocide Armageddon, in order to destroy the Digital World. But with the help of the four guardians, we sealed that dark power back into the dark dimension. And long with it, Burizalor himself."
"But Omega X insisted to finish the fight and we gave into his demands," Kari said, "I was worried of losing both Agumon and my brother. Nonetheless, Omega X was able to put the final blow into Burizalor and the evil tyrant was destroyed. But at the same time, the dark dimension imploded. I thought I had lost my brother forever. But we were informed that he and Agumon managed to escape into another dimension that the guardians have provided for them to train. We all go to the Digital World to visit Tai and he's still there at the moment."
"Wow, this must have been the greatest summer for you guys," Yolei said, "Man I wish I could have seen Omega X beat the snot out of that Burizalor guy."
"Trust me, you wouldn't," TK said, "Burizalor was too much for even you three to handle right not. But you don't have to worry, he's gone now."
"That's a relief," Cody said.
"Darn! I wanted a crack shot at him myself," Davis said, "Just think. Veemon and I could fuse into Omega V for something and we teach that Burizalor a thing or too!"
"He's dead anyways. So save the celebration," replied Patamon.
"Yeah! Omega V sounds like a kick butt name, Davis!" Demiveemon said.
Suddenly, Kari's D-3 started to beep and she received some new email. She took a look at her latest one and opened it.
"Who is it from, Kari?"
Kari glared at the message. Gatomon gasped at what she saw.
"What's wrong?" asked TK.
"I got to go," Gatomon said as she went running out.
"Gatomon come back," Kari cried out as she went after her digimon partner.
"Lets go follow them you guys," TK said as he went right after them.
They all shrugged and went to follow them out. Gatomon came running out of the school and her instincts were telling her to go to the television station.
"I know you're there. Just hold on, I'm on my way over there."
Kari and the others were running as fast as they could to catch up to Gatomon. They stopped when they saw Gatomon standing in front of the television station.
"In here you guys! We have to come in here!"
Suddenly, people came running out of the television station. They were claiming to have seen a ghost.
"Yes! That's got to be him!"
Gatomon went running inside and the Digi-Destined went in to follow her in. But Gatomon was fast enough to climb up the stairs leading up to the top level of the television station building.
"Gatomon! What's going on?!"
Gatomon went into the main office of the top floor and stopped. The others stopped as well and looked around them.
"Can you at least tell us why were doing here?" asked TK.
"Shhh. You'll scare him away. Please."
"Ok. Now I'm confused," Yolei said.
Suddenly, a shadow appears out of nowhere and its shape was quite familiar. Kari and TK were looking closely at it and trying to what to make of it.
"I'm here. Wizardmon. Its me."
They all gasped at what Gatomon just said.
"Gatomon, are sure its him?"
"Yes. I'm positive."
As soon as she said that, the shadow came out of the darkness and an illusionary form of Wizardmon appeared in front of Gatomon.
"Gatomon…"
"Wizardmon!"
[Digi Analyzer: Wizardmon. Champion-Level. Data Type. Former Soldier for Myotismon, but turned traitor. He sacrificed his own life to save Gatomon. Special Techniques: Magical Game & Thunder Ball]
"Its so good to see you again, old friend."
"Me too. It's been a long time."
"Gatomon. I need to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"You must warn you of a great darkness that is approaching."
"I hope he isn't talking about the Digimon Kaiser," said Cody.
"Your enemy isn't just the Digimon Kaiser. But it's about another great darkness. This darkness seeks for vengeance. The dark force shall return from death itself."
"How must we prepare for this approaching evil," Gatomon asked.
"You will have to revert the four Digi-Destined back to normal and bring back the one who was wrapped into darkness back into his former self."
"You mean, we have to save Ken too," asked Davis.
"The only way to do so is to unleash the power of the golden digimental radiance. Hurry, there is no time to waste."
"Wizardmon. Please don't go."
Gatomon reached out for Wizardmon. He did the same thing as well. But as each other's hands touched one another, Gatomon saw her paw go right through Wizardmon's ghostly hand.
"I'm sorry, Gatomon. Please, you must act quickly. I will always remember you, Gatomon. I am with you by spirit."
And with that being said, Wizardmon disappeared as a few teardrops had fallen. Gatomon looked down with tears dropping. She was sad yet happy to see her old friend that was killed three and a half years ago. Kari kneeled to her and held Gatomon tightly.
"Gatomon…"
"Thank you old friend. Now we know what to do. We'll do as you please and we'll be ready for this approaching darkness that is on its way."
The whole group was still shocked at what they just saw but they all had a job to do. They would do as Wizardmon pleases and get prepared for the upcoming evil that was on its way. But would they be ready?

SSJ4T: Either season satisfies me, nonetheless.
Takato: Thanks for posting up D-Tamers early. Now the Fusion fans can get a chance to see us save the world against the forces of darkness.

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Stop the Kaiser! The Nightmare Monster is Kimeramon!
The masked warrior named X was watching the past recent events involving the Digimon Kaiser. He knew Wizardmon would eventually inform them. He has been uneasy for the past couple of months since the Kaiser started enslaving digimon.
"So, it is as I thought. Wizardmon has sent the Digi-Destined a message. I wonder who this approaching darkness shall be. It couldn't be Myotismon. He's been long gone nearly four years ago."
"X! Hey X!" a voice called out.
"Sam? What is it?" X turned to face a young boy. He looked rather similar to Ken, but he has purple hair. It seemed this boy has some form of connection to the evil genius named the Digimon Kaiser.
"I just wanted to know how the digital world is doing."
"Well, it's been the same. The Kaiser has been enslaving digimon here and there."
"I really wish they could save Ken. If Wizardmon's prophecy is said to be true, but the Digi-Destined will not be ready for this approaching darkness."
"I know, but it will be up to them to save Ken. Then, it's really up to ken to change his ways. We can't force him to change. He needs to learn this himself. He must realize the sins he has committed to the digimon."
"Yeah."
"We can't interfere with the Digi-Destined's battles. They'll have to learn to handle such a situation on their own."
"You're right. We must put our faith into them. I just wish they had saved Ken before Wizardmon's prophecy."
"Also, Davis must unleash the golden radiance."
"Golden radiance?"
"It maybe the final weapon the Digi-Destined will use to defeat the Kaiser and Shadramon. We'll just have to see how everything plays out from here."
With that said, X walked off to think over what Wizardmon had said through his prophecy. Sam sighed and nodded his head in disappointment.
"Oh, Ken. You can't go on like this. You can't let this evil acts continue. You must remember who you are. We really need you if this approaching darkness is said to be coming. Digi-Destined. Save Ken and make him see the light."
***************************************************************************************
The Kaiser stood on top of a large monument as he looked down at the group of slaves that were clearing away landscape in place for more dark towers.
"Yes. Its only a matter of time before I take over this section of the Digital World."
But as soon as he said that, several blasts came out of nowhere and knocked the slaves away. The Kaiser gasped in shock at what just happened. He looked around his surroundings to look and see to who just fired an attack.
"Who dares to interfere with my plans?! Show yourself!"
Then as soon as he said that, Flamedramon, Digmon and Shurimon were standing. The smoke cleared away and several of the slaves were broken free of the dark rings. The Kaiser looked down in total shock and he growled with total anger under his breath.
"So sorry. You were saying," Flamedramon said as a fiery aura formed around him.
"Flamedramon! We attack the slaves, break their dark rings and get into his base as soon as possible," Davis said.
"Right, but we also need to knock down all of these dark towers so that Pegasusmon and Nefertimon cane digivolve into their champion forms," Flamedramon replied.
"That's right. So lets do this! Kaiser, this is the final showdown! We're bringing down your evil empire once and for all," Davis cried out.
"Ha! I would like to see you try! Slaves! Attack!"
Suddenly, a group of Kuwagamon and Tyrannomon came running out of they're hiding grounds as they went in to attack the three armored digital warriors.
"Ok, guys! Attack!"
["Across the Nation" by Union Underground from WWE Forceable Entry plays]
Flamedramon led in the attack with Digmon and Shurimon. Flamedramon phased right through two Tyrannomon with quickness and agility. The two Tyrannomon fell to the ground after feeling the effects of Flamedramon's head on collision.
"Here guys! Let me turn up the heat! Fire Rocket!"
Flamedramon shot out four powerful fiery blasts at the two dark-ringed Tyrannomon. The two monsters fell to the ground as their dark rings were shattered into pieces by the fireballs. Flamedramon turned to see a Dokugumon crawling right after him. Flamedramon hovers up as Dokugumon shoots out her poisonous spray at him. Flamedramon was able to maneuver away in time. He phases out and reappears behind Dokugumon. He shoots out several fire blasts at Dokugumon, destroying her dark ring.
"Alright boys! Lets dance," Digmon said.
Suddenly, several Kuwagamon surrounded Digmon. They all went for their claws in order to snatch up Digmon and pound him away but Digmon was able to maneuver away from the upcoming attacks from the Kuwagamon. Digmon appears above the Kuwagumon.
"Alright! You asked for it! Say AHH! Gold Rush!"
Digmon shot down some of his trademark drills at the group of Kuwagumon. A large explosion occurred as a result of the drills nailing the Kuwagumon. Digmon looked down and a satisfied look was on his face. As the smoke cleared away, the Kuwagumon were all broken free of the evil control of the dark rings.
"Great work you guys! But don't leave me out from all of the action," Shurimon said.
Shurimon turned to see several Ninjamon who have dark rings around them.
"So the Kaiser managed to hire some ninjas to do his bidding."
"That's right! We're Ninjamon and we're going to kick your ass!"
"Let's see you try."
The gang of Ninjamon all ran at Shurimon and beat up upon him. Smoke started to form as the Ninjamon were pummeling Shurimon into oblivion. As soon as they continued pummeling down upon Shurimon, they realized that they were hitting the ground. And to their surprise, they all looked up to see Shurimon standing on top of a cliff.
"You guys are pathetic. You're going to have to try harder than that in order to get me."
The Ninjamon were speechless and attempted to attack Shurimon once again. However, Shurimon flew down and shot out his Double Star attacks to break the dark rings on the Ninjamon gang.
"Alright guys! That should do it for all of the dark ring victims," Yolei cried out.
"Great! Now its down to you, Kaiser," Davis said.
["Across the Nation" ends]
The Digi-Destined turned to face the Kaiser, who was looking down upon them with a sick smile on his face. Something had come into his mind.
"You children thought you have won. Ha! Ha! It's not over until I say its over! Don't you remember the 'Nightmare Monster' that I promised to show to you?"
"Yeah? What about it," asked TK, "Your just bluffing about that whole monster crazy talk!"
"Ahhh. And you are in for a big surprise."
The Kaiser snaps his fingers as his base started to open up. Suddenly, there was loud growling coming from within the base. This sent chills down the spines of the Digi-Destined.
"Geez! That's even worse than my stomach growling," Davis said.
"What the heck is that thing," asked Kari.
"My nightmare monster! Arise, Kimeramon! Ha! Ha!"
As soon as he said that, a large monster came flying out of the base. The Digi-Destined looked up in total shock at what they saw. It was a lot more frightening than they even expected.
[Digi-Analyzer: Kimeramon. Synthetic Digimon. Unknown Type. Created through evil itself. Special Techniques: Heat Viper & Hybrid Arms]
"Ugh! That thing is ugly!" Yolei said.
"We're going to have to fight that thing," asked Cody.
"We can't back down now! We have to fight him in order to save the Digital World! C'mon we overcame Viral Metal Greymon! We can take this guy out too," Davis said.
"Davis, you three fend off Kimeramon. Kari and I will destroy the remaining dark towers in this area. Then we'll give you the signal to get into the Kaiser's base. Got it," asked TK.
"Roger that! Ok, guys! Lets do it!"
[Final Fantasy VII Boss Battle theme plays]
Flamedramon, Digmon and Shurimon faced off against the monster known as Kimeramon, while Pegasusmon and Nefertimon flew off towards where the dark towers were standing.
"Lets just hope this plan works out to the way we want it to be,"TK said to himself.
"Its now or never. This is it,"thought Kari.
"We have a verdict," Flamedramon, "Your big and ugly!"
Kimeramon roared out in anger as he quickly phased out. This caught the three digimon by surprise. As they turned around, they saw Kimeramon standing there.
"Damn! Were you guys able to detect his movements," asked Shurimon.
"No. He was too quick," replied Flamedramon.
"So are we suppose to catch him," Digmon asked.
"Ha! There's no way you three can match up to his power and speed," the Kaiser said, "I gave him the abilities from some of the best digimon to ever step foot in the Digital World! As you can see his body is of Greymon. His wings are of Angemon's and Airdramon's. His tail is Monochromon's. His arms are of Skull Greymon, Kuwagumon and Devimon. He has Garurumon's legs, Kabuterimon's helmet, and Metal Greymon's hair! This is the nightmare that I was mentioning! So, are you weaklings up to his power?"
"It's going to take more than this freak to beat us," replied Flamedramon, "But we're giving him the fight that he is looking for! Al right, guys! Lets do this!"
Kimeramon charged right at the three digimon. Flamedramon, Digmon and Shurimon all powered up at the same time and flew right at him. Flamedramon throws in the first punch, but it was ineffective against the skin of Kimeramon. Digmon hammered away at Kimeramon with his drills while Shurimon rapidly sliced at the towering giant. Kimeramon roared out and pushed them all back with a powerful aura of energy.
"C'mon, Flamedramon! We can beat him! Don't give up," Davis said.
Flamedramon slowly got to his feet and powered up. His body was now covered by a fiery aura. He quickly flew right at Kimeramon and decks him right in the face. Kimeramon goes stumbling back as Flamedramon's fist met Kimeramon's face. Shock came over the face of Flamedramon as he looked to see Kimeramon turning his face forward towards him. Kimeramon roared out and raises his Skull Greymon fists back. Flamedramon couldn't move as he was still in shock. Then Kimeramon pulls his fists forward and nails Flamedramon. Flamedramon goes flying back and lands hard on the ground.
"Ha! Your pathetic attempts make me laugh," the Kaiser said.
"Put a sock in it, will ya?!" Davis cried out angrily.
"It's my turn! Double Star!"
"Go Shurimon!"
Shurimon shoots out his patented attack and watched it nail Kimeramon. But it deflected off of his Kabuterimon helmet. Shurimon could only watch on in shock. Kimeramon bellowed a hideous roar and opened his mouth. Shurimon felt a tremendous evil energy coming from Kimeramon. The evil monster released a large energy beam from his mouth and aimed it right for Shurimon. Shurimon attempts to use his stars to deflect it but the amount of energy was just too much for Shurimon to handle and he goes flying back.
"Shurimon! No!"
"Ok, Digmon! This is your chance!"
"About time! Lets go big boy!"
Digmon goes flying right for Kimeramon and shoots out a ki-blast from his eyes. Kimeramon held out his Devimon hands and watched as the beams fizzled out. Digmon phases out and reappears above Kimeramon.
"Alright! Here's a little drill for ya! Gold Rush!"
Digmon shot out several of his patented drills at Kimeramon. But the towering titan was able to shoot out a ki-blast and it wasted the drills into digi-dust. Digmon could only look on in shock from what Kimeramon just did. Kimeramon charges right at Digmon. The monster delivers a devastating head butt using his head helmet. Digmon goes flying down into the ground.
"Digmon!"
[FFVII Boss Battle theme ends]
"Ha! I told you! My monster is much too powerful for even your weakling digimon to defeat! I suggest surrender!"
"No way! Not in a million years!" Davis cried out.
"Well. I suppose Kimeramon can finish them quickly. Kimeramon! Finish them off now!"
"No! Call him off, Ken," Davis cried out.
"My name is the Digimon Kaiser! And you can't control my pet! Kimeramon has been created to take orders from myself only."
"Please Ken! Don't do this!" Yolei said, "I beg of you! I know you wouldn't try to kill us like this! Deep down, I know you wouldn't hurt a fly. We know for a fact that you don't fully understand what the Digital World is really like!"
"That's right! Its not a place where you can play your sick experiments on innocent creatures," Cody said, "You better realize what you have done."
Suddenly, the Kaiser gasped and thoughts were replaying through his mind. All of those innocent digimon were being enslaved for no apparent reason. The Kaiser shook those thoughts away and smiled.
"Ha! Don't think that talking me out of my dreams of conquering this world will change my mind! I don't care what happens to the Digital World. As long as I realize my dream as ruler of two worlds, then I shall stop this madness. But for now, I will not stop and I will see to it that you nosey kids are out of my hair forever! Kimeramon put them out of their miseries!"
Kimeramon cried out and turned to face the Kaiser. The Kaiser gasped in fear and watched as Kimeramon was walking towards him.
"Kimeramon! What are you doing?! I said them not me!"
The three Digi-Destined couldn't believe what they are seeing. Now Kimeramon seemed to have turned on his own creator.
"Kimeramon! Kill the Digi-Destined! Not me!"
"Ha! Looks like even your own creation has turned on you," Davis said, "I pity you, Ken. I expected you to have control on your monster but you can't seem to have control of yourself."
The Kaiser watched on in fear as his own creation was walking towards him with a death glare in his eyes.
"No! I specifically told Izzy to construct him properly! This must be some sort of miscalculation! Grr! I can't believe this is happening! I have to do everything myself!"
"Having trouble getting your pet monster under control, Ken?" said a voice.
The Kaiser turned to face Shadramon. The armored insect was chuckling to himself.
"And what are you laughing about?!"
"Simple. You don't seem to have your own monster under control. I could have done a much better job with my technological mind, but you? You had to rely on those pathetic human slaves to get the job done for you. I always knew you were a failure. Now step aside! I'll take it from here and I'll be the one who puts an end to the Digi-Destined once and for all!"
"Nonsense! They're mine, even if my own monster has turned on me!"
"Be silent! I'll take it from here!"
Shadramon shoots out a blast and sends the Kaiser flying back. Shadramon turns to face Kimeramon. He now holds a dark ring sort of object. But it seems spiral-shaped.
"Oh Kimeramon. I have a gift for you! Behold, Digi-Destined! With this dark spiral, I can take complete control of Kimeramon and it shall give him more than enough power to kill you all!"
Shadramon tossed the dark spiral and watched as it attached itself onto Kimeramon's neck. Kimeramon felt out a cry and felt its power rise tremendously.
"Davis. Kimeramon's ki has increased tremendously from the dark spiral," Flamedramon said.
"Our ki aren't nowhere near that monster's power!" replied Shurimon.
"There's gotta be a way to stop him," Davis said,"Kari! TK! We really need you! Hurry up!"
**************************************************************************************
TK and Kari had just finished up destroying the remaining dark towers that were around the area. Pegasusmon and Nefertimon now have cleaned up the mess.
"Alright! We got phase one completed," TK said.
"Now lets go help the others fight off whatever they are fighting," Kari said.
"Kari! We must hurry! I can feel a tremendously high evil energy over in that direction," Nefertimon said.
"I don't think the others are faring too well at the moment," said Pegasusmon, "We must digivolve into our champion forms in order to help them."
"Your right! Alright, de-evolve from your armored forms and get ready to digivolve!"
["Brave Heart" plays]
Pegasusmon de-evolved back to Patamon. TK held out his D-3 and it released energy for him to digivolve.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Its your turn, Nefertimon!"
Nefertimon de-evolved back to Gatomon. Kari held out her D-3 and it released energy for her to digivolve.
"Gatomon shinka! Angewomon!"
TK and Kari held onto their digimon as they flew off towards the battlefield, where the others were facing off against Kimeramon.
["Brave Heart" ends]
**************************************************************************************
Shadramon laughed evilly as Kimeramon cried out. A large wave of dark energy shattered the ground and sent the three armors flying back.
"Yes, Kimeramon! In order to truly conquer this world, we must destroy the Digi-Destined! Now go and have your way with them!"
As Kimeramon was walking towards the Digi-Destined, the Kaiser could only look on in horror. He didn't realize that his own creation would turn on him. And now he didn't realize that Shadramon had turned on him. He looked towards the Digi-Destined. Now his cold and lifeless eyes were showing signs of sympathy and sorrow.
"What have I done? I never realized that was causing so much pain. I never realized that my own creation and 50/50 partner would turn on me. I need to do something about this. What have I done?"
Wormmon watched Ken from a far distance and was feeling his pain. He had always told Ken to change his ways but the Kaiser always turned him down.
"Oh Ken, I really wish you will become the Ken that you once were and put an end to this insanity. You got to help the Digi-Destined and make them your friends not your enemies. Your a Digi-Destined too and never forget that."
The Kaiser fell to his knees and cried out. His pain and anguish was now overcoming him. Shadramon turned to face him with a smile on his face.
"Pathetic Kaiser. You never were meant to be the ruler of the Digital World. You're much too soft to get the job done. That is why I shall take everything from here. Now, Kimeramon! Finish them off! I command you!"
Kimeramon towered over the fallen digimon and powered up. His body was becoming a black color from the aura that surrounding him. His Devimon arms were glowing and energy balls were forming. He held them down towards the fallen digimon.
"Show no remorse! Kill them!"
Kimeramon was about to unleash his energy blasts of death until he was stopped. Two energy beams came out of nowhere and nailed Kimeramon off of his feet. Shadramon looked up to see who it was and to his surprise, he saw two figures hovering from above. It was Angemon and Angewomon.
"Alright! Kari and TK! Its about time you two arrived," Yolei said.
"No kidding. Now the tables have turned against this creep," Davis said.
Angemon and Angewomon hovered down as they turned to face Kimeramon.
"What the heck is going on around here?" TK asked, "Since when can Shadramon take control of this monster and what is that thing?!"
"That's Kimeramon. The Kaiser said it was the nightmare creation that he was mentioning. But he turned on Ken and Shadramon took control. Now it seems Ken has been left out in the cold," Davis said.
"Here I thought he was merely bluffing."
"Not good. And what's that thing around Kimeramon's neck? Is that what I think it is?" Kari asked.
"It's a dark spiral. To be precise, it's a new powerful form of the original dark ring. It's now supplying Kimeramon with more power," replied Cody, "Even if we destroy that dark spiral, Kimeramon will still kill us since he was created by evil."
"Yes and now that you are all here. I can kill you in one full swoop with Kimeramon at my side," Shadramon said.
"Davis. Remember when we said that you needed to go inside the base," TK asked.
"Yeah."
"You and Flamedramon get in there and find the enslaved Digi-Destined."
"Right. I gotcha."
"We'll take this overgrown freak from here."
"Good luck!"
"Alright gang! This is now or never!"
"Lets go," Angemon cried out.
The two angels flew right at Kimeramon. They threw in punches and kicks at the towering titan but Kimeramon was able to maneuver away from their attacks.
Davis and Flamedramon were able to get by the ongoing battle and snuck inside the base through a large crack. Shadramon couldn't even detect them since he was too focused on the battle.
"Ok, Flamedramon. When you see the dark rings on the four original Digi-Destined, don't let them off. I'll take them each down and take off the rings. You just back me up."
"Right!"
As Davis got by several hallways, he slid and stopped. Just right in front of him stood Joe.
"Hey! You must be Joe Kido! C'mon we're going to set you free!"
"Intruder! You must be eliminated!"
Joe ran at Davis and attempted to grab him but Davis stepped aside and held onto Joe from behind. Davis noticed a small dark ring around Joe's finger and applied a sleeper hold on Joe.
"Joe. I hate to do this but you forced me to do this the hard way!"
Davis drops Joe down while having the sleeper hold on him. He then grabbed Joe's hand and took the dark ring off of him.
"There. You should be back to normal."
Joe moved around a bit and was able to revive himself. He looked up to see Davis.
"Hey. Who are you and where are we?"
"That's not important. I'm one of the new Digi-Destined and I'm getting you out of here."
"Gomamon!"
"Huh?"
"We have to find Gomamon and we get out of here."
"Yeah and we also have to rescue the other three Digi-Destined. That's Sora, Mimi and Izzy."
"I think I know where they are."
"Where?"
"The control room. We can take the dark rings off of them and snare the generator that flies and controls this ship."
"Why the generator?"
"Because we believe that it contains a mysterious power of some sort. If we snare it, we can stop this ship from moving any longer."
"Right I gotcha. Lets go!"
Joe, Davis and Flamedramon headed down the hallways and found the control room. But it was shut and locked.
"Flamedramon if you will do the honors."
"Sure thing, Davis. Fire Rocket!"
Flamedramon easily takes down the door with a fiery blast. They ran inside and to their surprise, the other three Digi-Destined were there. They all turned to face them.
"Intruder! By the orders of the Kaiser, we are putting you under arrest," Sora said.
"Davis. I'll stop Mimi. You take Sora!"
"Right."
"I'm sorry for doing this Mimi but we have to do this."
Joe takes Mimi down and holds her. He then takes her hand and pulls the dark ring off of her. Mimi then stopped struggling and looked up at Joe.
"Huh? What happened? Joe? Ummm, we're in public."
Both of them blushed. Joe got off of Mimi and wiped his forehead.
"So you're Sora. Well my name is Davis and its time to get back into reality."
Davis grabs Sora's finger and pulls the dark ring off of her finger. Sora fell to her knees and looked up to face Davis.
"Huh? Davis?"
"There's no time, Sora. We have to get out of here quickly."
Izzy was the only one left. He turned the other direction and went to escape through a trap door. But then a fiery blast stops him and Flamedramon phases in front of him.
"I don't think. Not today."
Flamedramon grabs Izzy and takes the dark ring off of his finger. Izzy was then reverted to normal.
"What… What happened here?"
"Long story. But we have to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Hey Joe. Is that the generator over there?"
Davis pointed out to a small black object near the main computer.
"Yeah. Grab it and lets get out of here."
Davis grabs the generator device and heads on out. The others followed him out. The ship began to stop instantly as a result of the main generator being removed. Now the ship was beginning to lose power instantly.
Meanwhile, the others noticed the ship losing power and stopping. Shadramon and the Kaiser couldn't believe it. Now their main source of power has stopped instantly.
"Who was able to stop the ship?"thought Ken.
"No! One of those digi-brats must have snared the generator! Kaiser, you're doing a great job at paying for extra security!" Shadramon taunted the boy.
Davis and the others ran out of the ship. Kari and TK were relieved to see their old friends back to normal and out of the Kaiser's dark control. But what was the Kaiser attempting to do now?
"So what am I supposed to do with this generator?" Davis asked.
Suddenly, the black object began to glow a golden color. Powerful beams of light came penetrating through the black coverings and Davis held it up for all to see. The black object now transformed into a shining golden object of some form of purity.
"That must be the golden digimental, which Wizardmon was referring to," Kari said.
"Yeah and now Davis seems to be in control of them," replied TK.
"Alright! This is it! Maybe I can use this to digivolve Veemon!"
Flamedramon de-evolved back to Veemon. Davis noticed that the object was giving up a radiant glow. Then, he saw his two digimentals shooting out light from the symbols of courage and friendship.
"Are you up for it, buddy?!"
"You bet! I'm ready! Let it rift!"
"Golden Digimental up!"
"Veemon golden armor shinka!"
A golden ray of light covered Veemon as his body was transforming into a more warrior-like stance. His body was now covered in golden plates of armor. He turns to face the others.
"Magnamon!"
***************************************************************************************
Sam felt a power increase coming from the digital world. He knew something positive was about to take action. X rushes over to the teen.
"Sam? Do you feel it?"
"Yes."
"It's the golden radiance. Davis did it. Now it's up to him and Magnamon to defeat Kimeramon. Then, they'll deal with Shadramon and free Ken from the darkness."
"Please, don't let Kimeramon win. You must destroy him to free the evil from Ken's heart."
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined watched on in awe at what they just saw. Now Veemon has golden armor digivolved into Magnamon. This was the first time ever to happen to any real digimon.
"Wow! Your totally awesome!" Davis said.
Shadramon watched on in total shock. The Kaiser couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Golden Digimental Up? This is totally out of my logic. I never knew that my generator contained this hidden power. Well, I'll be damned."
"The balance of power has shifted," Magnamon calmly said.
He turned to face Shadramon and Kimeramon with an angry glare in his eyes.
Incredible! A new evolution for Veemon! Who would of thought that Veemon could do this! Now that the old Digi-Destined have been returned to normal and the balance of power has shifted, how will Shadramon and Kimeramon fight off this new powerful force? Will the Kaiser help the Digi-Destined or remain in the shadow of darkness?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The Golden Fighter, Magnamon! The Kaiser Makes a Decision!
X witnessed the transformation of Veemon into Magnamon. He was now aware of what the golden digimentals were for.
"Yes. I should expected this from the start."
"What, X? What are you trying to say?" Sam asked.
"That golden digimental is none other than Digimental of Miracles. It came into being through Davis' courage and friendship. Those two traits were able to intertwine and developed into the Golden Digimental of Miracles."
"Amazing. So, it will be enough for Magnamon to stop Kimeramon?"
"The ball is in Davis' court. He'll have to play out from here. We can only hope that he and Magnamon can defeat Kimeramon and Shadramon. When that happens, it will only be a matter of time before Ken sees the light."
"You can do it, guys! I know you can! You have to save Ken!"
***************************************************************************************
Magnamon stood hovering as he looked towards Kimeramon with an intimidating glare in his eyes. Davis was watching Magnamon with amazement.
"Wow! That guy rocks! Veemon sure knows how to look cool. Ok now on to business!"
[Digi Analyzer: Magnamon. Vaccine Level. Armor Evolution through the Golden Digimental of Miracles. Special Techniques: Magna Blast & Magna Explosion]
"What is the meaning of this?" Shadramon asked, "How was your digimon able to pull off such a stunt as that?!"
"If you didn't know, the Kaiser's so called generator unleashed this power and it gave Veemon the chance to golden armor digivolve! And now he's going to kick that monster's butt!"
"Grr! Not possible! Kimeramon is the most powerful being in the Digital World."
"That's where you are wrong," Magnamon said calmly, "I am the most powerful and I shall prove it."
Kimeramon roars an angry cry as he advanced towards Magnamon.
"That's right. Come to poppa!"
"That's it, Magnamon! You show him what you're made of! You can't allow him to beat you! I won't allow it!"
"No way. He's all mine. I won't let you down, Davis."
[Random Dragonball Z battle music plays]
Magnamon started to power up as his body started to glow a golden light. He raised his arms up as large amounts of energy started to slowly gather. Kimeramon got into a blocking position. Magnamon pulls his hands back and phased out. Kimeramon was surprised at the outcome and could only watch in horror as Magnamon released a golden beam of light at him. This sent Kimeramon flying back and right through a nearby rocky cliff.
"Alright, Magnamon," Davis cried out, "Now take advantage!"
Magnamon hovered over to where the fallen monster was. He looked down and felt its tremendous energy. Magnamon knew that the fight wasn't finished just yet.
"I feel his energy rising. This is over by a long shot."
Suddenly, energy shot out from out of the ground and Kimeramon comes popping out through the fallen rock rubble that had covered him. The monster faced towards Magnamon and let out another angry cry.
"Ahhh. Yes, Kimeramon. Show him what you're made of," Shadramon said, "Now you see that your monster seems to enjoy me as his master. He knew you were a total failure and that is why he turned on you. Or should I really tell you why he decided to side with me."
The Kaiser listened to what his former partner had to say.
"It is because when you were out building your little toys, you left me to secure the base. Well, how unfortunate for you to letting me do so. You should know that evil digimon shall never be trustworthy and I'm no different. So, I reversed command panel switch to mine and that way Kimeramon would only obey me. And it was only a matter of time before he would turn on you. I've wanted to do this since day one and now I'm in complete control of this operation. You've failed Kaiser, just you always have. And now Digi-Destined prepare to die!"
Kimeramon let out another cry as he flew right at Magnamon. Magnamon blocked and Kimeramon threw in another heavy punch. Magnamon blocked that one too. In a matter of moments, the two fighters were able to block out each other's punches. The Digi-Destined could only see flashes of light colliding with one another. That is how fast they were to the naked eye.
Magnamon fired several ki-blasts Kimeramon but the monster held out his Devimon hands and caught them with ease. Magnamon flew right at Kimeramon and elbows him in the gut. Kimeramon let out a cry and was barely budged. Magnamon flies up and fires several blasts at Kimeramon. Kimeramon crashes down. The blasts were too great for him to withstand.
[DBZ battle theme ends]
"Shadramon. How could you? You betrayed me! I was doing the Digital World wrong!" Ken said, "You told me that I would become a god, but you lied to me."
"You were too trustworthy my friend. You let darkness consume you! Your own damn fault, not mine. I just led you like a lamb and now I'm taking you to the slaughter. You had potential but you were nothing more than a failure. What a disappointment."
"You used me… You monster… How could… I let darkness consume me!"
"Ken! Don't give in to what he says anymore," Wormmon said, "Don't listen to him! You're better than he is! Deep down, you wouldn't let anything like this happen. It's time to stand up for yourself."
"But how? He won. I let him beat me."
"No! No one has beaten you! You beat yourself. Now listen. You must look deep down and reach for your former self. Try to remember everything that happened before you became the Kaiser and took under the wing of Shadramon."
"I'm trying to remember…"
"Yes! Please try to remember your past!"
The Digi-Destined all looked up and noticed what has been going on.
"I can't believe this. I never thought I would see Ken like this," TK said.
"He was controlled by darkness and Shadramon used him," Kari said.
"What a creep! Shadramon is such an idiot! I feel bad for Ken now. He doesn't realize what he has done," replied Yolei.
"Now it's time that we help him. He really made me mad for the horrible things he has done, but its time that we join forces with him in bringing Kimeramon and Shadramon down," Cody said.
"And your all going to go without me," a voice shouted out.
The children all turned around and to their surprise, Leomon was standing on a cliff looking down on them.
"Alright! Leomon! We're so glad to see you again," TK said.
"I've been wanting a piece of Shadramon and now I get that chance."
"Well, be our guest. We'll take Kimeramon," Kari said.
"No! He's all mine. You guys try and help Ken," Magnamon said, "Leomon we'll take it from here!"
"Of course."
Shadramon turned to see Leomon coming right for him.
"Well. Well. Well. If it isn't the pain in the ass called Leomon. My good friend, so nice to see you again."
"Your evil ways shall come to an end, Shadramon. I will not allow you to destroy the Digital World."
"Oh come now. I wouldn't destroy our precious world. I'm terra forming it into Utopia where digimon shall reign supreme as the ultimate life forms and we shall destroy the humans in their world."
"No! I choose to protect the humans, especially these children. Your greedy deeds shall end now!"
Leomon pulls out his sword and faces towards Shadramon. Shadramon powered up as his body started to flare up.
"So we shall fight like the good ol' times? Then so be it."
Leomon and Shadramon flew right at each other and traded blows. They were able to cancel out each other's attacks. Shadramon kicks Leomon right in the face but Leomon caught his foot and flips him forwards. Leomon goes for a punch but Shadramon ducks under and nails him right in the gut.
Magnamon continued to fire away several blasts at Kimeramon but they were ineffective against the evil monster. Slowly Magnamon's power was fading away due to the large amounts of energy being used.
"He's too strong. I'm running out of power…"
Kimeramon grabs Magnamon and holds onto him with a tight grip. Magnamon attempted to power out but his energy was quickly depleting. If he doesn't escape, he will die.
"Magnamon! No! You got to break free! I won't allow you to lose! We have to destroy this monster before he kills the Digital World! Please, I won't allow it!"
"Ha! You can cry all you want but my monster shall crush your little pet digimon. Kimeramon crush Magnamon like a patch of grapes! Now!"
Kimeramon tightened his grip on Magnamon and watched as Magnamon began to cry out in tremendous pain. It seems that his bones were being crushed in one tight grip.
Leomon was getting to his feet and he turned towards Kimeramon.
"Oh no! I must stop this! I've seen enough!"
Leomon powers up and pulls his fist back. Shadramon turns around and senses a great energy increase coming from Leomon.
"Huh?! No! What are you doing?!"
"Putting an end to you, Shadramon! It ends here for you! Fist of the Beast King!"
Leomon pushes his fist forward and releases a energy beam shaped like his own face and sends it flying right at Shadramon. Shadramon managed to manuever away.
"Ha! You missed me, hot shot!"
But as soon as he said that, he turned to see a sword stabbing right through his chest. Shadramon let out a cry, which soon became a loud gag. Leomon was standing right in front of him with his sword right through Shadramon. Shadramon looked down in horror as Leomon pulled his sword out of his chest. Shadramon could see a large hole right through his chest.
"You… little… fool… Did you really think that would put me away? No chance! I'm stronger than that. You're such an idiot. Dumb ass…"
"The only dumb ass around here is you. Now, the darkness you shall see is after your own death and that is eternal darkness."
"No! I can't die like this! I can't! The dark one shall save! You shall see! He will save me!"
Shadramon then cried out as his body shattered away into data. Leomon put his sword away and nodded.
"If you really thought that this dark one would save you, then god never knew who you were."
Leomon turns his attention right over to where Kimeramon was about to destroy Magnamon under a tight grip. Leomon ran towards the scene and pulls out his sword.
"Magnamon! Hold on!"
But as soon as he said that, Kimeramon knocks him away with one of his fists.
"Heat Viper!"
Kimeramon shoots out a large amount of heat energy from out of his mouth and towards Leomon. However, Leomon was able to push the energy back and sends it hurtling up into the air. He turns his attention towards Kimeramon.
"He knows when I'm going to attack. And if I don't do something soon, then Magnamon is finished!"
Wormmon was watching the on going struggle between Kimeramon and Magnamon. He couldn't stand it anymore.
"I have to do something about this! This has gone far enough! I do not want to see anybody else get hurt! If only I could digivolve, then I can whip that monster's sorry butt! If only I could digivolve!"
Suddenly, the Kaiser looked at his D-3 and it started to glow. Instead of a dark color, it was a bright light. Wormmon felt tremendous energy entering his body and his power level quickly increasing.
"Ken! I feel powerful energy surging through me! Now I think I can digivolve!"
"Please… Stop him… Wormmon… I'm sorry for everything I said to you…"
"It's forgiven. Don't worry. I will take everything from here!"
Wormmon watched as his body started to glow. His body stood upright and he became more insect-like. Ken's D-3 released more energy and it was enough for Wormmon to complete his digivolution. Kimeramon turned around and could only look on in total shock.
["Brave Heart" plays]
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
The Digi-Destined all looked up to see Wormmon in his newest champion leveled form. It was Stingmon. He turned to face Kimeramon.
"Who is that digimon?" asked Yolei.
"Wormmon digivolved!" asked Ken, "Unbelievable."
[Digi-Analyzer: Stingmon. Champion-Level. Data Type. Special Technique: Spiking Strike]
"Ken! I'm Stingmon! I am Wormmon's champion leveled form! My attacks include Spiking Strike!"
"Stingmon! We need to stop Kimeramon at once," Leomon said.
"Yes! Hang on Magnamon!"
Stingmon goes flying right at Kimeramon. The towering monster goes to punch him away but Stingmon phased out quickly and nails Kimeramon in the back of the head.
"He moves so fast," TK said.
"Yes. Finish him, Stingmon," Ken said.
Stingmon goes flying right at Kimeramon and punches him in the face rapidly. Kimeramon cries out and releases Magnamon.
["Brave Heart" ends]
"Stingmon?!"
"Magnamon! It's time to finish him. Here, use a little of my own energy."
"And use some of mine too," Leomon said.
Both warriors released beams of energy and sent them right for Magnamon. He gladly accepted their power as he felt his own power level rapidly increasing.
"Yes. Their powers are making me stronger. Al right, big and ugly! Its time to finish this once and for all!"
Kimeramon goes flying right for Magnamon. Magnamon pulls his hands back and begins to power up.
"Magna Explosion!"
Magnamon's body released a large amount of wave energy and sent it straight for Kimeramon. Kimeramon could only look on in horror as he saw the energy wave go straight through him. His body started to shatter away into small pieces of data. Then an explosion occurred and the once seemingly indestructible monster was now put to rest once and for all.
"Alright! We did it!" Davis cried out.
The Digi-Destined cheered happily as they claimed yet another victory. The Kaiser was quite relieved as he looked up to Stingmon.
Magnamon completed his mission and de-digivolved back to Demiveemon. He jumped into Davis' arms happily.
"You were awesome!"
"I try!"
Stingmon flew over to Ken and de-digivolved back to Wormmon. Ken caught Wormmon in his arms and a smile came over his face. Not an evil smirk but a happy smile.
"Ken. You're back to the way you were. I knew you would come back."
But suddenly, Ken started to look down and his smile disappeared.
"No. I can never forgive myself. I was responsible for causing destruction upon the Digital World. I still have to think this over."
The other Digi-Destined gathered around him.
"You still did terrible things as the Kaiser," Davis said, "But you finally realized that you were just used for Shadramon's evil doings."
"The important thing is that you learned of what you have been doing," Kari said.
"Ken. We would ask for you to join us. You would make a great addition to the team," replied TK.
Ken nodded his head. He took off his goggle glasses and his cape. His suit started to slowly fade away. And his spiky hair became normal again. His lifeless, cold eyes reverted to normal.
"I need some time to think this over. I still can't forgive myself for what I have done," Ken said.
He picks up Wormmon and looks at his base. He sighed sadly and started to walk off.
"Ken! Please, don't walk away from your problems," Davis said, "Let us help you."
Ken continued walking off.
"He needs to think this over. Ken claims that he can't forgive himself. Give him some time," Yolei said, "He has done many terrible things as the Kaiser but he never knew that he was used as a pawn in Shadramon's sick and twisted games."
"Lets jus hope he decides to come onto our side," replied Davis, "He would make a great addition to the team."
"Like Yolei said, give him some time," Izzy said.
"If he needs to think this over, then let him," Mimi replied, "He's had a lot of problems and needs to revise his troubles. Maybe something happened in his life that we're no aware of."
They all watched as Ken disappeared into the horizon as the sun was beginning to rise once again from a long dark night.
"Looks like our job here is done. Thanks for helping us out, Leomon," Sora said.
"I must keep an eye out in this world and destroy the remaining dark towers. You children get back and get some rest. We got a lot of cleaning up to do."
The children nodded as Leomon walked off to get to work by destroying the remaining dark towers that were created and left in other parts of the Digital World.
"Ken. I hope you do make the right decision and join our team. It would be right if you and I led the team into victory over the forces of evil. Plus with this approaching darkness that Wizardmon was telling us about, we have to be ready,"Davis said to himself.
Davis noticed a purple object on the ground. It looked like one of the old crests that the original Digi-Destined used to have.
"Hey, that looks like one of our old crests," TK said.
"Wow. And this must belong to Ken," said Davis, "We'll be waiting for you my friend. Your a Chosen Child just like us."
***************************************************************************************
Sam sighed a relief by the turn of events. He sat down and was relieved that Ken might possibly change his ways.
"Thank god. It's over. Kimeramon and Shadramon are gone. Ken can now make his choice. I just pray that he makes the right one and joins the Digi-Destined."
"That decision will be up to him. He needs time to recuperate and think over his actions. I know deep down that Ken is a good guy. He was used. Everything will play out, but only by Ken's choice. He'll make the right decision. Trust my word, Sam."
"I've always trusted you're word. Ken has to make the right choice and help the children against the approaching darkness."
"Tai? They could really need you're assistance right about now. It seems this approaching darkness is greater than I thought. The children can't take them on alone."
***************************************************************************************
Deep on the other side of the Digital World and away from the site of the former base of the Digimon Kaiser, Matt was looking up at the skies. Metal Garurumon was standing guard beside him.
"Matt. That tremendous energy that I felt earlier has vanished somehow."
"Strange. It seems that the new Digi-Destined were able to free the original Digi-Destined and defeated the Kaiser once and for all. These new kids' digimon seem very impressive."
"So shall we continue our search for Tai or delay the mission?"
"No, we will continue on. I must find the secrets in the fusion. If Tai and Agumon were able to fuse to become Omega X, then you and I should be able to fuse into a super powerful being. I'm not going to play second fiddle to Tai anymore. My time to become the best is approaching. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, but how will we achieve it?"
"Ha! Just like Tai and Agumon did: by earning it through tremendous training."
Matt still has not given up on striving for more power in order to achieve the fusion ability. He has been looking for Tai and seeks for the answers to the questions. But every time he visualizes Tai, he gains more anger jus to fuel his energy for Metal Garurumon.
"Tai. Mark my words, I will no longer play second fiddle and I will not be overshadowed by your presence any longer. My time has come and I look to become best. I'm really looking forward to the day that you return, old friend. I can't wait."
***************************************************************************************
Back on earth, Ken had just arrived home and his parents were worried sick about his mysterious disappearance. There were many television reports concerning his disappearance but they were so glad to have their son back safe and sound.
While sleeping in his dark room, Ken could only visualize everything from the past right before he became the Digimon Kaiser.
"I must find out the reason for my sadness and sorrow. What caused me to become the evil Digimon Kaiser? I need to know… Sam… Sam… My brother…"
Ken could see his own brother through his mind. It has been almost three and a half years since the death of his older brother, Sam. Ken has blamed himself for his brother's passing away, and seemingly he has been filling the role of Sam since then. He has put all of his attention to his studies, much like Osamu used to do. The Ichijouji parents would be so proud of Ken for becoming such a smart student and putting all of his focus into studies. However, they were still sad over the fact that their other son, Sam had passed away.
"Sam, if only you were around. You would be proud over how well I am doing with my studies and not so proud to see what I have done as the Digimon Kaiser. I can't even forgive himself."
Flashback
Ken and Sam were looking out their balcony door as Sam was teaching Ken how to blow bubbles. It was very well known that Sam couldn't blow large bubbles, however, Ken had that talent.
"Osamu, why don't you try to blow some bubbles?"
"Oh I could but I always mess up when I try. Mine pop quickly cause I blow too hard, but yours comes out perfectly cause your gentle."
Ken blew some of the largest bubbles he has ever made through the gentleness he puts when blowing the bubbles. He always made sure his bubbles came out perfectly.
"Sam? That was cool! Sam? Sam?!"
Ken looked around and couldn't even find his own brother. It looked as though he had disappeared. And in reality, he did and would never come back.
End of Flashback
"He's never coming back. Even if I pray for him, he'll never come. But then again, I would always seem him in my dreams as if he were my guardian angel. Oh, Sam, I'm so sorry."
"I wish! I wish! He would just disappear! Disappear! Disappear!"
"No. I can't let the past come back to haunt me! Sam is gone and I can't change that. And I can't forgive myself for hurting innocent creatures as the Kaiser! I can't! Oh Wormmon, I'm sorry.
"Ken… Ken…"
Ken looked up to see Wormmon. Ken sat up and was sweating like mad and trying to catch his breath from the thoughts he just had.
"Are you okay, Ken?"
"Yes. Wormmon, can I ask you something?"
"Yes, what is it, Ken?"
"Do you remember what happened to me about three and a half years ago?"
"Mmhmm. I remember it as if it were yesterday. I remember that you went to the Digital World and you found me. And during our first adventure, you got hurt and were in tremendous pain. I tried helping you but you wouldn't seem to accept any kind of help from me. You had become a completely different person."
"As if I had amnesia?"
"At one point, you had completely forgotten everything before the accident you had. Then you got influenced by Shadramon and was the one who forced you to do his evil bidding by creating the dark towers."
"Yes. That nightmare is over. But I still possess some sort of darkness that even I am not aware of."
"And now you changed for the better."
"Not completely. We have to do something that will make up for everything that I did as the Kaiser?"
"And what do you propose?"
"We clean up the Digital World and destroying every trace of the dark towers."
"Yes, and we should ask the Digi-Destined for their help."
"No. I don't think even they would ever forgive for what I have done. I need to do this alone."
"I even heard them ask you for join them. You are a Chosen Child after all."
"Now isn't a good time. I must relinquish everything that ever influenced me into darkness. Darkness is still trying to consume my inner soul."
"Don't let it."
"But I'm much too weak to fight it off. Darkness has always plagued me ever since my brother died. And it will continue if we don't clean up the mess I made in the Digital World. Then, I shall give my answer to the other Digi-Destined, whether to join them or not."
"And what could your answer be?"
Ken looked up into his ceiling and could remember all of the bad things he had done during his evil reign as the Digimon Kaiser. All of those innocent digimon were enslaved and their free wills were taken away. The dark towers were like viruses attempting to destroy the data. Ken could remember himself being trapped inside a dark cave.
The darkness in that cave had consumed him and resulted him in becoming the Digimon Kaiser. His heart was so full of hatred and evil. He had turned the Digital World into his own personal playground, but realized that he had done more harm than fun. Now he must go back and completely erase everything that has to do with the powers of darkness.
"Wormmon. Starting tommorrow, we're going to start cleaning up and destroying every trace of the dark towers. Agreed?"
"Yes. It will be my pleasure in knocking those towers of evil. And then you shall give your answer to the other Digi-Destined."
"Yes. If they will accept me."
"They will."
"I just hope you are right."
**************************************************************************************
The next day, the Digi-Destined were destroying several dark towers just near the Primary Village.
"Alright! Nice job, Lighdramon!"
"Blue Thunder!"
Lighdramon shot out a large electrical energy and knocked several towers out of commission. Halsemon was next as he shot out beams at more dark towers.
"Tempest Wing!"
"That's the way, Halsemon! Yeah!"
"Rock Cracking!"
Digmon drilled a hole into the ground and watched as the towers went flying down into the hole.
"Way to go, Digmon!"
"Equis Beam!"
Pegasusmon knocked down several towers and hovered over to where TK was standing.
"Great work, Pegasusmon."
"Rosetta Stone!"
Nefertimon used her beams to destroy the remaining towers in that area.
"Looks like we're done!"
"Spiking Strike!"
To everyone's surprise, the children looked up to see Stingmon destroying towers from a far distance.
"Whoa! Can it be," Davis asked.
The children ran towards the forest and tried to get to the area where Stingmon was. And to their surprise, they could see Ken standing around and encouraging Stingmon.
"Ken?! Well I'll be darned," Yolei said.
"He's cleaning up some of the mess we were about to clean up just today," Cody said.
"Let him. He chooses to do this, then we shall respect his wishes and let him handle this area on his own," TK said.
"Hey lets ask him to join us," Davis said.
"We'll ask him next time and I know for a fact that Ken needs a little more time to make up his decision," Kari said, "And besides its getting late and we better get home."
As the children headed off back home, Ken turned to see them walking away. A smile came over his face.
"Don't you worry, I shall make the decision. And I think that joining you at this moment isn't such a good idea. Please be patient. I will join you eventually, in due time."
Ken and Stingmon went back to work in destroying more dark towers as the sun started to set. It has been a hard couple of weeks but the fight is over and everything in the Digital World seems to be returning to normal. But for now, because the approaching darkness is on its way, the Digi-Destined must be prepared!

Kari: Guess what guys? My brother is coming back!
Davis: That's awesome. Now I get to meet you're older brother.
Yolei: This is going to be so cool!
Sora: I can't wait to see him, again. It's been almost too long.
TK: Patamon? What's wrong?
Patamon: An evil ki is approaching the digital world and it might make its way to your world.
Kari: I feel the darkness, too.
Joe: Can it be?
Matt: Damn! So Tai didn't finish him off after all! That bastard isn't dead!
Ken: Wormmon? What do you think?
Wormmon: We're in for the fight for our lives.
Lady Myotismon: We're approaching the digital world. We should be getting to the portal, which will lead us to the human world. Are you getting excited?
Burizalor: More than just excited. With my new enhanced body armor, I'll crush those damn Digi-Destined and I shall have my revenge on Taichi! Prepare to plunge into the depths of hell, Earth!
Veemon: Next time on Digimon Fusion Zero Two, episode nine!
Earth's Darkest Hour! The Revenge of Burizalor!
Burizalor: Don't you dare miss my grand return.
**************************************************************************************
SSJ4T: What a way to end the first part of the Zero two series.
Max: Damn, the bastard is alive! Burizalor is coming back?!
Coral: So, this is the evil, which Wizardmon mentioned.
SSJ4T: It's bad enough that the Digi-Destined are recovering from the battles against the Kaiser, but they must face Burizalor. It's he same tyrant who came close to ruling the digital universe.
Max: The main villain from Zero One returns. But what does he have to do with the artificial?
SSJ4T: Just be sure to check out the upcoming fic. Digimon Kaiser down is over, and now we're ready for the Artificial Saga. Be sure to check out the D-Tamers fic. You've got plenty of digimon action to read from. Until then, we're out!

Chapter Text
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine. It belongs to Akira Toriyama. However, the character Burizalor is mine, and Lady Myotismon is a character made by Dark Warrior I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X, Keke, and Max, because Max Acorn created them and I got his permission to use them.
SSJ4T: Hey, guys! We're now ready for the first chapter of the long-awaited Artificial Saga.
Max: Hasn't it been almost a year and half since anyone has ever managed to mention this saga.
SSJ4T: Yeah, this one is a highly under-rated saga. I just hope this one will get more reviews than the last one. It will eventually lead to the Virus Saga. Anyway, that's enough of us babbling on. It's the return of a villain! Enjoy.
***************************************************************************************
[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Earth's Darkest Hour! The Revenge of Burizalor!
It was a beautiful day on the streets of Odaiba. Many of the citizens were going about their daily lives. No reports of any attacks by digital beings have been reported since three and a half years ago when Myotismon attacked.
Just many yards away from the local streets, there was a boy playing soccer in the park with several other kids. But these were no ordinary kids. These were the new Digi-Destined that were assigned to protect the Digital World from evil forces that attempt to conquer or destroy it.
The boy in the goggles is none other than Daisuke "Davis" Motomiya. He is the new child who possesses the digimentals of courage and friendship. His digimon is Veemon, who can armor evolve into either Flamedramon or Lighdramon.
The girl with the purple hair is Miyako "Yolei" Inoue. She is the new child who possesses the digmentals of love and sincerity. Her digimon is Hawkmon, who can armor evolve into either Halsemon or Shurimon.
The small little boy is Iori "Cody" Hida. He is the new child who possesses the digimentals of knowledge and reliability. His digimon is Armadillomon, who can armor evolve into either Digmon or Submarimon.
The boy with the odd-looking hat and the blonde hair is Takeru "TK" Takaishi. He is one of the eight original Chosen Children who possesses the crest of hope. His digimon is Patamon, who is able to armor evolve into Pegasusmon or evolve into Angemon.
The girl with the camera around her neck is Hikari "Kari" Kamiya. She is one of the eight original Chosen Children who possesses the crest of light. Her digimon is gatomon, who is able to armor evolve into Nefertimon or evolve into Angewomon.
They had just recently saved the Digital World from the evil clutches of the Digimon Kaiser. However, they had just realized that Ken wasn't the real mastermind behind the whole dark tower scheme. It was Shadramon, but he was defeated and Ken had realized what he has done.
"Pass it over here Davis!" Demiveemon shouted out.
"Alright! Motomiya shoots and passes!"
Davis kicks the ball over to Demiveemon but the little digimon watched as the ball nailed him. Demiveemon watched as the ball was rolling him towards the goal.
"Yay! We scored again!"
"That was pretty good, Demiveemon! Lets take a break now."
"Great! Its lunchtime! Yay!"
Davis and Demiveemon went over to the other children in hopes of discussing the whole Ken ordeal.
"Hey guys! I was doing some thinking and I came to the conclusion that Ken should join us," Davis said, "I think he's realized his mistakes and is ready to join us. It's been almost a few weeks since we last heard from him. I think we should at least start communicating with him."
"I don't know, Davis. I can't seem to trust him," Cody said.
"I know this is hard to make a decision but I think Davis is right," TK said, "Ken deserves his chance to side with us."
"That's what I'm trying to say," Davis replied, "Ken is a Chosen Child just like us. He has Wormmon. He helped us defeat Kimeramon. Lets all move on and work together to destroy the remaining dark towers."
"It's not going to be easy. Lets not forget. Ken might not even feel comfortable confronting us after everything he has done," Kari said, "I understand how hard this is, even for Ken. We have to let it slide and let him decide for himself."
"Well I do hope he decides to join our side," Davis said, "Or at least help us fight against this approaching darkness I keep hearing about."
"Yeah. Lets not forget that," Gatomon said, And I have a feeling, whatever that dark power maybe is not very friendly and we have to be on the look out at all times. If Wizardmon predicts this to be true, then we better become prepared for whatever decides to challenge us."
"But the question is. Who is this dark power?" Yolei asked.
"It could be anyone. Even Devimon?" TK said.
"Perhaps Myotismon or even Burizalor," Kari replied.
"Or maybe somebody new," said Cody.
"But I doubt Burizalor would come back. He's not even a digimon and he was destroyed by Omega X," Patamon said.
"I don't know about you guys but I do have a real strange feeling about this," Gatomon said.
"Don't worry so much, Gatomon," Kari said, "We'll know when the time comes. But let us just relax and enjoy the good times."
"Maybe your right. I've just been stressed over this whole ordeal."
"I understand."
"We shouldn't be stressed. It's drawing near winter vacation, so lets just relax," TK said, "Right Patamon?"
"Mmhmm."
Just then, Kari's D-3 started to beep and she received an email message from her D-Terminal. To her surprise, it was from the Digital World and from Azulongmon.
"You guys! Take a look at this! Its a message from Azulongmon!"
"What does it say," Davis asked.
The other Digi-Destined all gathered around as Kari showed them the message.
Digi-Destined,
This is Azulongmon! I have wonderful news! I have recevied word that Tai and Agumon have completely succeeded in their training and are on their way back to your world. They should be arriving them in about two short hours in earth's time. Come to the Digital World if you can.
Azulongmon
P.S., please always recycle
"You hear that, you guys?! My brother is coming back home! This is wonderful!"
"It sure is. Now we can finally see Tai after all this time," TK said.
"Man! I can't wait to meet this Tai guy. He sounds really cool," said Davis.
"Oh you're going to like him and yeah he is the coolest brother," Kari said.
"Wow. I never seen Kari this happy before but I'm glad to know that her bigger brother is soon coming. I can't wait to see what he looks like in person," Yolei thought.
"So what are we doing standing around here for. I say we go to the Digital World," Cody said.
"Hold on. Maybe Azulongmon would want us to stay and wait for him here," TK replied.
"Mmhmm. We want to catch Tai by surprise when he gets here. He's going to be proud of what we accomplished thus far," Kari said.
"I really am looking forward to the guy who made the first fusion possible. Now I get to see Omega X," Davis said, "If only Veemon and I can fuse."
"Don't worry. We're just going to have to train ourselves to gain that status of power," Demiveemon said.
"Yeah but it will take a lot of time," TK said, "Not just anybody can achieve that ability."
"We'll see. Anything is possible, TW," Davis said.
"We'll just have to see then."
**************************************************************************************
As the children rambled on about the whole situation, the news was spread to the original Digi-Destined. Sora was the first to know about it.
"Tai! This is great! I look forward to seeing you again. You probably haven't aged much, but it's going to be cool to see you again."
Biyomon walked up to Sora. After Kimeramon was defeated, the Digi-Destined and their digimon partners were released.
"Sora? So what do you want to do? Go to the Digital World to meet him there or wait for him to arrive."
"I would want to see him in the Digital World but Azulongmon said it was best to wait for him since it's easier. Plus Azulongmon mentioned something about a dark energy interfering with Tai's chances of coming back home."
"Dark energy? From what?"
"I have no idea and it might delay Tai's chances of getting home. I believe it was what Wizardmon had predicted. That a dark force is approaching and we're not even aware of when it will come."
"We should tell the others about this."
"You're right. I better call Izzy."
Sora picked up her phone and dialed Izzy's number.
**************************************************************************************
As soon as she dialed the number, Izzy was there to answer the phone.
"Hello? Oh hey Sora!"
"Izzy. I think Tai's return might be delayed because Azulongmon just informed me that a dark energy is interfering with this delay."
"Not good and what do you think this dark energy is coming from?"
"I don't know. But remember when Kari told us about Wizardmon's prophecy of an approaching dark power that will arrive?"
"Yes I haven't forgotten about it."
"We might think that this dark energy is delaying Tai and Agumon's possible return. And whoever this is, they really don't want Tai to return home."
"This is bad. Alright I'll tell the others about this."
"Oh Tai. Where are you?"
***************************************************************************************
Matt was rehearsing for a big concert that would take place this weekend. Gabumon sat there watching him practice. Suddenly, his ears perked and whistled over to Matt.
"What's wrong, Gabumon?"
"I feel a tremendous energy. An evil energy."
"Huh? Who is it?"
"I have no idea."
"We should go check it out."
"Right."
Suddenly, Matt's cell phone started to ring. He answered it. It was a call from Mimi.
"Hello?"
"Matt!"
"Mimi? Don't you realize that my long distance bill is way above the limitations?"
"Yes. But this is important. We believe that something horrible is about to arrive and it has an evil energy. Here put Gabumon on the phone and Palmon will speak to him."
"Alright."
Matt hands the phone over to Gabumon. Gabumon questions Matt but he takes the phone. He speaks to Palmon at the moment.
"Gabumon, can you feel that energy?"
"Yeah. Its more horrible than I ever imagined. You don't think its you know who…"
"I think so… We have to be on the look out, Gabumon. We better tell the others as well."
"Right."
**************************************************************************************
Even in the Digital World, millions of digimon felt the tremendously evil power about to make its reappearance. Ken and Wormmon were looking up. Wormmon had a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong, Wormmon?"
"There's two of them, Ken. My gosh, what strong kis!"
"Huh?"
"Its worse than I thought. We need the other Digi-Destined in order to fend off these new evil powers."
"For once I agree. We can't fight them alone."
"Lets send them an email."
"I don't know...what if they don't believe me…"
"You won't know if you try."
"Alright then."
**************************************************************************************
Even the four Holy Beasts felt the evil energy that was quickly approaching the Digital World. Azulongmon met with Zhuqiaomon and Baihumon.
"Can you feel it? It's much worse than we predicted," Azulongmon said.
"Yes. We must do everything that we can be prepared. This is a very strong powerful enemy we are going to deal with."
***************************************************************************************
Several trees were standing around and then they all fell down instantly. Leomon had quickly chopped them all down with his sword. He looks up into the skies and gasps.
"Burizalor?! There's no way he could have survived!"
*************************************************************************************
There was a large spacecraft was rapidly going through a vortex leaving the dark realm and entering the Digital World. Inside the ship, there were two figures within the darkness. Two pairs of red glowing eyes appeared as a familiar snake-like voice spoke up.
"There it is. That's the vortex leading into the Digital World. Now it will only be a matter of time before I gain my revenge upon the fusion warrior known as Omega X."
Another pair of red glowing eyes appeared. Its voice was more feminine and demonic.
"Ha. So that's it? It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of going there myself. I'm really looking forward. So you really want a piece of this Omega X."
"Yes. And this time, I'm not going in as a weakling. Not with these new enhancements on my body."
Bright light penetrated through the darkness and there stood Burizalor. But this time, he is half cyborg. His lower body was robotic, as was half of his face, his left arm. He even had a robotic tail. The only real skin he had left was on one side of his face, his upper body and his right arm. Everything else had been torn off completely as a result of the last battle against Omega X.
"We're almost approaching the Digital World. We should be there shortly."
The other looked like Myotismon but this one was had a lady-like figure and was a female. She has longer hair and has more skin showing than Myotismon. This is the evil mistress and sister of the evil Myotismon. This is Lady Myotismon.
"Oh Taichi, its only a matter of time before I finally get my hands on you. But first, I'll have the pleasure of killing your friends."
"I'll show you who truly is the most powerful force in the digital universe really is!"
The spacecraft went right through the vortex and quickly made it through into the Digital World.
***************************************************************************************
When Davis and the others heard about the news of the approaching darkness. Gatomon knew it. Wizardmon was right. The dark powers have arrived to get revenge upon them.
"This is it you guys. We either chicken out or we fight this dark power and protect the Digital World. Its Burizalor and we must be careful," Kari said.
"We must go to the Digital World as soon as possible! Tai and Agumon might need our help," TK said.
"So lets go," Davis said, "I'm ready to kick some butt! Right, Demiveemon?"
"Yeah! Lets do this!"
The children all agreed and went over to Izzy's in order to discuss a plan on how to stop Burizalor.
**************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined all met at the computer lab. TK and Davis had called forth a meeting to discuss the plan on how to counterattack Burizalor and prevent him from entering the real world.
"So what's your plan, TK?" asked Yolei.
"I'll tell you everything as soon as Sora and Izzy get here. They're pretty late."
"Maybe they got caught in traffic or something," Davis said.
"I doubt it. They don't even drive yet," Kari said.
Just then, Izzy and Sora entered with Biyomon and Tentomon at their sides. They were catching their breath and looked pretty tired. It was obvious that they were rushing on their way over to the school.
"Sorry, we're late," Izzy said, "But we got caught in traffic."
"Sure you did," Matt said.
"Ok so is that everyone," asked Cody.
"Not exactly, Mimi is going to meet us in the Digital World. And I hear that she brought along a friend to help us out," TK said.
"Who is this guy?" asked Sora.
"I'm not sure but Mimi told me that his name is Michael."
"Ooo! Mimi got a boyfriend," Kari teased as the others were laughing to her comment.
"Ok, now onto serious business. Davis. Yolei. Cody. We told you everything about Burizalor and from what you will see, you will finally know how destructive this monster can be."
"Not to mention, he killed me at one point," Matt said, "I still won't forgive him for that."
"And me," replied Sora, "Tai might not be here but I'm sure we can take him with all of us together."
"I finally analyzed myself and I came to realize that the powers from our crests are still within our hearts. And with that being said, our digimon can go ultimate if they need to."
"Great. But what about us?" Davis asked.
"You new kids haven't gotten the chance to digivolve your digimon into champion leveled forms yet," Izzy explained, "However, even in their armored forms, they can pose quite an asset to the team. They have proven it over the past battles against the Kaiser."
"Speaking of Ken, I wonder if he will help us out," Davis said.
"That's if he really wants to join us," Yolei said, "We will just have to see and find out."
"Right. The time of wait is over. Let us all go into the Digital World and do what we can to stop Burizalor," TK said.
"You have convinced me like none other. I agree. Lets go before it is too late," Izzy said.
"So what are we waiting for?! Digital Port open!"
Yolei held out her D-3 and pointed it to the computer. A flash of light engulfed the entire group and they were sent through a vortex that led them straight into the Digital World.
The children found themselves in a large forest. The new digimon were now in their rookie forms and they could easily sense the evil presence. However, they weren't able to see the large hovercraft that was destined to arrive.
"Gatomon, are you sure its Burizalor? Are you sure its just somebody else?"
"No Kari. I can even smell him. I can never forget that stench."
Sora looked up into the sky and she started to show fear. She could easily remember what happened to her about three and a half years ago.
Flashback
"Well if you think your friends will escape me, Taichi. You are sadly mistaken, my friend."
Burizalor pointed his finger towards the children and it looked like he was pointing to Tai but as soon as he shot out his deadly beam, it went straight towards Sora.
Everything seemed to turn into slow motion for a while and the beam was coming right for Sora. Tai watched in horror and went to push Sora aside. But as soon as he reached out to her, the beam went right through her chest and through her heart. Tai's eyes widened in fear and shock at what he just witnessed.
Sora fell limp to the ground and her eyes became glazed over. Tai ran to her side and held her in his arms.
"Sora… No… This can't be happening…"
Tai's eyes started to water down in tears.
"Sora…" Biymon cried, "Oh my god… No…
"SORA!"
End of Flashback
Sora was then interrupted by a voice. It belonged to Biyomon. She was trying to snap Sora out of her daydreaming.
"Sora… Sora? Are you okay? What are you looking at?"
Sora turns her attention back over to her digimon partner. She quickly snapped out of it and replied.
"Oh nothing. Just thinking about Tai. So when is Burizalor actually going to arrive?"
"We're no sure. It could be any moment now," said Izzy.
"Great. We have to face him again. Just what I really needed."
Suddenly, another voice cried out and the Digi-Destined turned to see Mimi coming over to them.
"Mimi! We're so glad you came," replied Kari.
"I came here as fast as I could. But I had to bring a friend along to help us out," Mimi said, "Guys, I would like ya'll to meet a friend of mine…"
Mimi looked over to the bushes and walked over to them.
"Its okay. You can come out. They won't bite," Mimi whispered.
As soon as she said that, a tall, blonde-haired boy came walking out.
"Who's that?" asked Yolei, "He's cute…"
"This is a friend of mine. His name is Michael and he came from New York like me."
"Hello all," Michael introduced himself.
"And guess what? He's a Digi-Destined just like us," Mimi said.
"What?!" the group cried out in shock.
Michael nodded and held out a digivice. It looked just like the old model that the original Digi-Destined have in their possession. But how did Michael become a Digi-Destined if he didn't go into the Digital World with the original kids three and a half years ago?
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, just on the other side of the Digital World, the large spacecraft that just arrived from the dark world was anomalously floating above the landscape. Its dark presence brought chills down the spines of the many digimon that inhabited each of the ecosystems.
Inside, Lady Myotismon was holding out a glass of wine and looking out through her glass windshields. She observed the beauty of the Digital World's landscape. A smile came across her face as she took a sip of her red wine.
"Ahhh. Yes. It's only a matter of moments before we enter the vortex that shall lead us into the human realm. Then we shall lay it to waste. But I must say, Burizalor. I never thought the Digital World would have so much beauty like this. It's a shame that we must destroy it when we can just conquer it. I would have had the pleasure of torturing those children myself."
An angry look came across the face of Burizalor as electrical surges circulated throughout his half cybernetic body. The tyrant's eyes glowed crimson red. He clenched his fists tightly. The thoughts of Omega X and the Digi-Destined were replaying in his mind. Now his fists were bleeding as a result of his inner rage.
"Seems something has got your blood boiling, dear Burizalor. Tsk tsk. You must not let your temper get the best of you."
"You got me all wrong, my lady. I was just admiring the view of the Digital World. Its electrifying I must say."
Burizalor turns his attention to the computer view of the ship heading towards the location of the vortex that will lead them into the human realm.
It was only a matter of moments for the spacecraft to locate the dimensional vortex that would eventually lead them into the human world.
****************************************************************************************
"Wow! Michael is a Digi-Destined? How cool," Cody said.
"But Michael. I don't get it. How were you able to get a digivice and become a Digi-Destined," asked TK, "You didn't even come into the Digital World with us original kids."
"It was really strange. It happened during the summer three and a half years ago. I remember seeing a huge fight taking place in the sky between some fused warrior and an alien-like creature."
"Ah! Then you saw the whole battle between Burizalor and Omega X," Kari said, "That was my brother fighting him."
"Really? Wow, I never thought so. Anyways, when I watched the battle, a small object that we now call a digivice came flying towards me. And that's not all, other kids received digivices as well."
"You mean, there are other Digi-Destined kids like you," asked Davis.
"Yes and I do believe there are more world wide."
"Digi-Destined worldwide? They must have seen the battle too. And they must have had a contact with some sort of digimon," TK said.
"Tell us, Michael. Do you have a digimon," asked Izzy.
"As a matter of fact, I do. Ahem. Betamon, don't be shy! Come out!"
Out of the bushes came a small, green creature with a razor-sharp fin on his back. Palmon walked along with him.
"Hey guys! This is Betamon," Palmon said, "Hes a very good friend of mine."
"Hello. I'm Betamon."
[Digi Analyzer: Betamon. Rookie Level. Virus Type. Special Technique: Electric Shock & Cutter Fin]
"So your Michael's digimon?" asked Veemon.
"Yep and when I digivolve I become Seadramon."
"Seadramon? I remember him during our first adventures on File Island," Said TK.
"Yeah but that was a different Seadramon. I'll be able to help you guys out."
"So what are we waiting for?" asked Michael.
"We're here to prevent Burizalor from entering our world," Mimi said, "And Michael, this will be one tough battle. Remember everything that I told you about three years ago?"
"Yes and I'll be sure to be careful. Right, Betamon? You're ready for anything."
"Oh yeah!"
"I really do wish Ken can help us out," Yolei said, "That way we can work together to stop Burizalor."
"It really doesn't matter now, Yolei," Kari said, "He'll come if he feels he has to."
"That's right. And we're going to need all the help we can get," Gatomon said.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Ken and Wormmon were walking along a field that contained many fallen dark towers. Ken looked down upon them and still couldn't forgive himself for creating them.
"Wormmon. This approaching darkness is too great. We may need to work with the other Digi-Destined and help them defeat this approaching enemy."
"So what's holding you back?"
"They might not accept me or even need my help. They probably still haven't forgiven me for what I have done."
"Ken. Don't say that. Its time that we confront them ourselves and I'm sure we can put aside out differences in order to battle this evil power."
"But its not just one, its two evil powers approaching."
"So, if we work together, we can actually succeed."
"We're going to have to. So, I say we go. Are you up for it, Wormmon?"
"You bet! I'm ready for anything! Lets go."
"Right."
Ken pulls out his D-3 and looked at several pinpoint locations all gathered into one area. These pinpoints belonged to the other Digi-Destined. Ken would actually find them and meet them there.
"Great! They're all gathered in one area and they're not to far away from here. We must act now."
"I'll lead the way."
"Go for it, buddy!"
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" theme plays"]
Ken held out his D-3 as it gave Wormmon the power to digivolve into his champion leveled form. Wormmon watched as his body was transforming into a two-legged stature.
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
Stingmon picks up Ken and then flies right over to the area where the other Digi-Destined were gathered. They would have to get there as fast as they could before Burizalor' hovercraft would track them down easily.
"Make sure to suppress your ki since I bet this enemy can sense them," Ken said.
"Right."
Stingmon suppressed his ki and made sure to hide out so that Burizalor couldn't pick it up through his scouters.
["Evolution" ends]
**************************************************************************************
The spacecraft was quickly approaching the area where the Digi-Destined were all gathered. And they were very close to reaching their final destination, leading into the vortex into the human world.
"Lady Myotismon, we're close to the destination as we speak," replied a soldier.
"Very good. Now must get there as soon as possible."
"Yes my lady."
***************************************************************************************
"Wow. So, looks like we have the favor on our side after all," Davis said.
"Now lets not jump into conclusions," replied Izzy, "We must have our digimon suppress their kis. This is so that they won't be traced by one of Burizalor's scouters."
"One question. Whats a scouter?" asked Armadillomon.
"It's a device that the soldiers of Burizalor used to trace the inner ki of any kind of digimon or other life forms," said Patamon, "And they were quite useful to their advantage. Burizalor is no different and he really doesn't need one. He can trace a power level from many miles."
"Yikes! This guys sounds like bad news. If he can trace power levels from many miles away," Hawkmon said.
"Don't worry. As long as we keep them suppressed, then we have no problems," Tentomon said.
"Plus with all of us here, I'm sure Burizalor will have his hands full," said Biyomon.
"Shh! You guys. I can sense an approaching power coming this way," said Gatomon.
"Is it Burizalor?" asked Mimi.
"No, its nowhere near Burizalor's ki. But… It's heading this way and I have no idea who it is!"
The digimon all turned towards the direction of where the hidden power was heading. It was about to come out of the forest. They were ready to digivolve and attack all at once.
"He's getting closer," Patamon said.
The Digi-Destined also turned towards the forest and held their digivices and D-3s. They were more than ready to take out whoever this intruder might be. Then their questions were answered as Stingmon came walking through the forest with Ken at his side. The Digi-Destined all gasped. Yes, the former Digimon Kaiser had shown up.
"Ken?! Hey! You made it! Are you here to help us out," asked Davis.
"We're so glad that you came," Yolei said.
"Well I just came here to lend you a hand against this approaching darkness. And I also want to put our differences aside just for this once. You guys really don't have to apologize to me."
"No. Ken. We forgive you," Davis said, "You can trust us. We won't stab you in the back. You're a Digi-Destined like us. You decided to change and I respect you for that."
"I don't know about this. Does he really mean what he's saying? Has he changed? He's still the same Kaiser in my view,"Cody said.
"Thank you, Davis."
"Well, I say he should be on our side," a voice called out from above.
The Digi-Destined all looked up to see Leomon. He was smiling and jumped down towards the children.
"Ken. You were used as Shadramon's puppet. I forgive you for everything that you have done and you're cleaning up the mistakes that you have created," Leomon said, "Thank you. We will need your help after all. This enemy is far powerful with just us alone."
"I've heard only a little about this Burizalor. Mainly from Shadramon but I hear he's a very ruthless and uncaring individual, who seeks nothing more but total annihilation of many worlds," Ken said, "But we're willing to help you guys out. So don't you worry."
The children all nodded happily and accepted Ken for who he is now. Even the old Digi-Destined accepted him despite the fact that they were slaves for the Kaiser at one time.
"We're glad you decided to change," Mimi said, "And I really do respect you for that. You realized you made a mistake when you became the Kaiser. But we can put that all behind us in the past. Now, we worry about the present time."
"So you think you're up for the challenge that awaits you," asked Matt.
"Yes. I'm ready," replied Ken.
Leomon looked up and felt an approaching dark force heading into their direction. His eyes widened and he turned to face the Digi-Destined.
"He's here!"
The children all looked up into the skies and saw a large spacecraft coming out from the clouds. Their digimon could even feel the dark energy from inside the ship. The children could only look up in total shock and fear. Their biggest enemy has returned and seems to be more powerful than ever.
The spacecraft lowered down as a large gust of wind started blowing among the forest. The ship itself was dark to classify its evil personification. The children watched as the ship was landing and heading towards the other side of the forest.
"Its landing right on the other side of the forest," Kari said.
"And there's a large canyon valley. I'm willing to bet that they are going to land there," said TK.
"Lets head on out and remember to keep your power levels all suppressed," Gatomon ordered.
The digimon all nodded in agreement and headed out into the forest as slowly as they could. Soon, the children would follow them. One false move could lead them into disaster since Burizalor's forces can easily pick up approaching power levels from a far distance with the use of their scouters.
The spacecraft lowered down towards the canyon valley and landed there as it was destined to. A large gust of wind blew across the landscape after the landing. The digimon and the children shielded themselves from being blown away from the large gust of dust that would push them back.
"Just as I suspected. They've landed right over that ridge," Gatomon said.
***************************************************************************************
"My lady. The landing process is complete. We found the destined vortex," replied a soldier.
"Superb. You ready, Burizalor?"
"Yes."
A cruel smile came across the face of Burizalor. Now his dream of finally entering the human realm was coming true. It was only a matter of moments.
"Oh how I could have seen the look on your face, Taichi. After I destroy your world, you will be mortified. But don't worry, I'm coming after you momentarily."
**************************************************************************************
The children could only look on with total fear in their eyes. The digimon felt the tremendous power levels coming from within the ship and they tried hiding their fears. However, they have never felt such a powerful energy coming from one individual.
"Ok! Now this is no room for mistakes," Matt said to the new Digi-Destined, "If we want to get any closer, we have to remain quiet and our digimon must have their kis suppressed since Burizalor can pick up power levels with the use of a scouters. And you don't want them to trace you with their scouters."
"Are you sure, Matt?" Davis asked.
"Yes! Now zip it! We have to remain quiet, understood?!"
Davis and the other new kids nodded in agreement. Patamon looked overhead towards the canyon ridge landscape where the ship landed. TK picks him up. Leomon puts his hand on TK and nodded.
"Are you ready?"
"Oh yeah."
"This is crazy! I've never felt such a powerful energy such as this! How are we able to win this battle?" asked Veemon.
"I hate to break this to you but this is only the tip of the iceberg," said Palmon.
"Ah! There's no way we're going to last against a force like this," Betamon cried out.
"Hey, you're kidding me right? We don't have to do this! If we fight them, we'll get our butts handed to them," Veemon cried, "Burizalor is a monster and attacking him would be suicide!"
"But we have to try, Veemon," Davis said.
"Yeah. If we don't attack him now, we might as well kiss this world and our world goodbye," TK said.
"He's right you know. You guys really don't have a choice. Now let us all put an end to all this whimpering and find Burizalor. Before he finds us," Matt said.
***********************************************************************************
A group of soldiers came lining up outside the ship as they waited for Burizalor and Lady Myotismon to come out. And after the last group of soldiers lined up, Burizalor and Lady Myotismon both came walking out. Burizalor looked up ahead and saw the vortex leading into the human realm. Burizalor nodded to the soldiers and they went marching towards the vortex. A view of the human world came into view. Burizalor looked at the scene and a smile came across his face.
"So that's the planet Earth? My, how very acquainted for me to arrive in the human world. I'm looking forward to it."
But as soon as he said that, he stood frozen in shock as his eyes widened in fear. He started to see things once as he became a little paranoid. He could see a image of Omega X standing in front of the vortex with a smile on his face. Burizalor clenched his fits angrily and growled.
He could even remember everything that Omega X had said to him during the final battle three and a half years ago.
"You are too scared and ashamed. Live with the loss, its going to be going through your mind for the rest of your life. Now go back to where ever it is you came from and think about what you have done. There's no point in killing you when I know I can beat you."
Flashback
Omega X goes flying up and looking for a portal to escape through before the whole dimension starts to implode. Burizalor looked down and clenched his fists angrily. His eyes were full of hatred and burning rage.
"You stupid digimon! You actually you won?! You don't realize who you're dealing with! I am Burizalor! I am Lord of all Worlds! You can't win, because I am all mighty and powerful! And you're just a mere peon and a mortal in my eyes!"
Omega X continues to make his way up. He has no idea of what Burizalor is going to do next.
"Now you shall learn… You will die by my HAND ONLY!"
Burizalor appears in front of Omega X and quickly forms a giant death ball on one finger.
"Think you have beaten me?! I'm one step ahead of you now! Now I shall crush you with this! Now say goodbye!"
Burizalor otsses down the large ball of energy and hurtles it towards Omega X. Omega X held his arms out and watched as it started to push him back. Burizalor laughed hysterically as the ball started to push Omega X back.
"Grr! You damned fool! Don't you ever realize defeat?! Now DIE!"
Omega X pushes the energy ball and blasts a beam at it. The energy ball goes flying back right at Burizalor. Burizalor's eyes widened in total shock and watched as his own attack was being sent straight at him. Burizalor attempts to blast it away but was unable to. The energy ball sends Burizalor flying back into the background of the dark dimension. Then Burizalor watches as the ball sends him into an eclipse. Burizalor watches as his body started to quickly melt and fade away by the huge heat mass. A huge explosion occurs as the eclipse and the energy ball themselves exploded into masses of smoke, dust and ashes. A wave of energy comes pushing everything back after the large impact.
The explosion from the Genocide Armageddon took place, the whole dimension imploded into nothing more than empty space. Everything that made up the whole dark dimension was already gone. There was no longer any signs of life.
Deep down in the dark and farthest regions of the dark dimension there was a rather large hole and within it was another world. It looked like the universe, however, there were actual life forms in this dimension.
Several alien-like creatures were swarming in masses around something similar to a dying corpse. They were feeding on pieces of chunks. Suddenly, a huge hovercraft was passing by. The carrion-feeding little creatures swarmed away like vultures and lying down was a rather familiar corpse. It was Burizalor, or was it? His body was almost completely torn up. Half of his face was gone and his skin was beginning to rot away. Besides his head and face, all was left was half of his upper body and an arm. His other arm was completely torn off.
His eye and mouth were barely moving any. There was a skeletal distinction in his mouth since half of his face was torn off. He tried speaking but it was very faint.
"Data... Nothing... But... a piece... of data... scum..."
The rather large spaceship-sized hovercraft stopped and a hatchet door opened up. A rather large hook came out of it. The hook comes right down near the corpse and stabbed through its back. Small amounts of blood came dripping out. The hook picks up the torn up body and carries it aboard.
The hatchet door closes up and Burizalor's torn up body was placed in a center of a dark room. He could barely see anything, but what he saw were two glowing red eyes. It began to speak, but it had a feminine tone of voice.
"Well, well, if it isn't Burizalor. You're the so-called destroyer of worlds? What happened to you? Beaten by a digimon. Don't worry. You're in good hands now. With my help, you'll be back to being the most powerful force in all dimensions. I can guarantee you that. Now lets get started, shall we? Ha. Ha. Ha."
***************************************************************************************
Later, the bloody of corpse of Burizalor was placed in a healing chamber in order to heal all of his wounds and to help revive him. Despite the pain, Burizalor still felt anger erupt in his body. All he could think of was vengeance.
"Damn you, you wretched piece of data trash!"
Then Lady Myotismon had called upon the most intelligent technicians to repair Burizalor's body using robotic parts to restore all of his lost limbs. Half of his face was already tore away, so a robotic face was placed there and wires were connected to what was left of his brain to help his brain function. His lost arms, legs and waist were replaced by robotic parts.
Lady Myotismon watched on as Burizalor was slowly being repaired into the being that he was once. However, the computers were able to take a trace of his power level and with the added enhancements placed into him, he was more powerful than he was before. Now he was faster and could store as much energy as he could if he wanted to. And he could even hide his own power level at an instant.
Burizalor quickly opened up his eyes and looked across the room. He looked at the technicians. They all backed away and steered clear of the evil tyrant. He looks up to Lady Myotismon. An angry look came over his face.
"Set a course for the Digital World and into the human world?"
"To the Digital World and the human world, why ever for?"
"Because I want to find the fused warrior that did this to me?"
"What? Fused warrior?! Well, how interesting."
End of Flashback
Burizalor clenches his fists so hard that blood came dripping down. This was to add fuel to the rage he has bottled up inside of him after what Omega X had done to him.
"I will make him suffer for what he did to me. He damaged my pride. And for that, I will pay him back by destroying his own world!"
"Ahh. So this is where my brother was killed? Those insolent pests killed him. I shall punish them for their crime."
"I think if I handle Omega X by myself, you think that you can take care of those other children?"
"It's a synch. I got them all. I won't need you help in defeating them. So shall we move into the vortex?"
"Yes. Now would be the perfect time. I really would like to test out my new body. Once Taichi arrives, he be mortified by the death of his friends and I will there to finish the fight. Oh yes, hear me out Taichi! I have come back from the depths of hell to have revenge upon you! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
**************************************************************************************
"So that's their plan? And there's the vortex. I think its time to come out of hiding," Matt said, "I'm ready to fight now!"
"You convinced me no further," Izzy replied, "Are you ready gang?"
They all nodded in agreement and the digimon got ready to digivolve. The children held out their digivices and their D-3s, which gave each of the digimon to power to digivolve.
"DIGIVOLVE NOW!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
"Veemon armor shinka! Flamedramon! The Fire of Courage!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Shurimon! The Samurai of Sincerity"
"Armadillomon armor shinka! Digmon! The Drill of Knowledge!"
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Gatomon chou shinka! Angewomon!"

"Palmon shinka! Togemon! Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon! Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Betamon shinka! Seadramon!"
Burizalor and Lady Myotismon would easily pick up powerful energies heading their direction. They all turned to see the Digi-Destined and their digimon all lined up. Their angry faces only made the tyrant chuckle.
"Well if it isn't the Digi-Destined. As you can see, I'm about to enter your realm and I'm going to destroy it. There's nothing you can do now. And besides, I'm here to fight Omega X not you ungrateful weaklings. So I suggest you leave now."
"No way! We're fighting you now! This is the end of the line for you, pal," Davis cried out.
Burizalor looked over to Davis and noticed goggles on his head.
"He's wearing goggles much like Taichi. But this is a different boy. Hmmm, this has gotten a lot more interesting than previously thought."
"We're not going to let you spread your evil much like three years ago," cried TK, "With our combined powers, you stand no chance against us. So what makes you think you can just stand there all calm. Cause deep down, your scared just like when Omega X whooped the crud out of you!"
"Silence boy! You're all damned fools. With his new enhanced body, you stand no chance against me and I shall demonstrate right now."
Burizalor got into a fighting stance as the digimon got into a fighting stance. They were prepared to face the new and improved Burizalor.
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
The Digi-Destined have now confronted Burizalor and are about to go all out against the evil tyrant. But do the enhancements Burizalor give him an advantage? What kind of new powers does he have in his possession? You will just have to find out on the next episode of Digimon Fusion!

***************************************************************************************
[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Digi-Destined, Sally Forth! Burizalor and Lady Myotismon Approach Earth!
Burizalor got into a fighting stance as he faced against the eleven digimon that were prepared to fight him. A big stare down took place. Lady Myotismon and her army could only watch on.
"Your move first, Digi-Destined."
"With pleasure," Davis said.
Flamedramon and Shurimon went flying right at Burizalor. Burizalor saw them coming and watched they threw in several punches at him. Burizalor was able to maneuver aside and duck under several of the punches being thrown at him. Burizalor faded right between Flamedramon and Shurimon. He stood behind them. Flamedramon throws in a punch but Burizalor catches it and lashes out his tail, which knocks over Flamedramon. Shurimon goes to shoot out his Double Stars but Burizalor caught them with ease. He tosses them back at Shurimon. Shurimon phased out pf the way. Burizalor phases behind him and nails him in the back with an elbow shot. Shurimon goes flying back.
"Ugh! No way," Davis said.
"Shurimon! No! Get up," Yolei cried out.
Burizalor landed down onto his feet and cracked his knuckles. He looked over to Shurimon and Flamedramon, both of which were slowly getting to his feet.
"Man. I never felt anything painful like those punches," Flamedramon said.
"He moves so fast. I couldn't even pick up his energy through my senses," Shurimon replied.
"This is not good. What if we attack from behind at the sametime?"
"Lets try."
Shurimon and Flamedramon flew right at Burizalor from behind. Burizalor easily sensed them coming and ducked under as the two armored warriors only hit air. As both of them turned around, they were met with two punches in the face. Shurimon and Flamedramon both went falling down to the ground. Burizalor phased out and reappeared above them.
"Were are you two going? The fun just got started."
Burizalor caught them by their necks and threw them both across into a nearby cliff ridge. Burizalor hovers over the fallen rubble and pointed his hand down. He was ready to blast the two fallen digimon into oblivion. However, a ki-blast came out of nowhere and headed towards Burizalor. The evil tyrant sensed it coming and quickly phased out before it would hit him.
Burizalor turned to face, who had shoot a beam at him. It was Angemon. Burizalor turned to face him.
"So, it was you?! So, aren't you going to attack now that my back isn't turned?!"
"Hand of Fate!"
Angemon shot out a large blast and sent it straight at Burizalor. Burizalor held out his hand and was going to block it out but Angemon turned his hands sideways and the energy beam went around Burizalor. Burizalor turned to see the beam coming right at him. It collided and exploded.
"Alright Angemon! Way to nail it to him!"
"Its not over yet, TK," said Matt.
TK turned towards the battlefield and the smoke began clearing away. Angemon gasped at what he saw. Not only did Burizalor come out of the smoke. But he was unaffected by any of Angemon's attacks. Not even a single scratch was found on him.
"Nice try, Angemon. You seemed to have improved with your techniques over the past years but I have used the enhancements to my advantage. Now I shall demonstrate some of my newest techniques."
Angemon got ready to counter whatever Burizalor was about to throw at him. But Angemon couldn't even detect what Burizalor was about to do next. Burizalor hid his power level and formed an energy ball at the same time. This caught Angemon by surprise.
"Huh? But how can you power up an energy ball when you can seal away your power at the same time! That doesn't make sense."
"Ha. I told you not to under-estimate me. With my new enhancements, I can easily hide my power level. So it will give me the distinct advantage and you can't even detect where I'm going to strike next. Can you predict where I'll attack?"
"That's just no possible."
"Heh. I'll show you."
With that being said, Burizalor quickly phased out. Angemon turned around and looked all over his surroundings. He couldn't even see Burizalor and couldn't even detect his presence. Out of nowhere, an energy ball goes and nails Angemon right in the gut.
"You can't touch me, but I can certainly touch you!"
Angemon goes falling down from the impact and doesn't realize that Burizalor is waiting for him at the bottom. Burizalor goes flying up and delivers a hard knee to the back of Angemon. Angemon goes crying out in pain as he goes back flying up. Burizalor phases out and reappears above a flying Angemon. He shoots out a beam and sends Angemon flying back down to the ground.
"So who's next? Anybody? Or do I have to choose my next victim?"
Suddenly, a pair of missile-like blasts made full contact with Burizalor. The children looked on with stunned belief as the smoke was covering up the tyrant. It almost seemed that he was done in.
"Whoo! What a way to nail it to him!" a voice exclaimed.
"Joe?!" the group exclaimed in unison.
"That's payback for what you did to my partner!" Ikakkumon cried out.
"We've got him! Though, it was bad for me to skip out on class. I had to make a good excuse. Wow, I can't believe we really did it!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Joe turned around and his eyes widened in absolute terror. He and Ikkakumon watched as the smoke revealed an unscathed Burizalor. Though, it was no surprise. Ikkakumon's attacks were pitiful against the likes of this tyrant.
"What is it, Joe? You did what? I don't remember what you did? Tell me."
"Damn! This isn't possible!"
"I told we wouldn't make much of a difference," Ikkakumon stated.
"I'll reserve my energy to finish you two off later. What you can do in the meantime is watch as I dismember each of you're pitiful comrades. Anyone else want a shot at me?"
"Angewomon! Its up to you now!"
"Digmon! Go get him!"
"So two more lambs being thrown into the slaughter, is it? Very well then."
Burizalor phases down and appears in front of Digmon.
"Gold Rush!"
Digmon shoots out his drills and sends them flying right at Burizalor. But the evil tyrant held his hands out and deflected them off with ease. Digmon maneuvered away from his drills but was punched right on the side of his face. Digmon goes tumbling down. He was unable to move.
"Digmon! No!"
Angewomon flew right down at Burizalor and delivers several of her Celestial Arrows at him. Burizalor sensed them coming and phased on right out. Angewomon powers up an energy ball and sends it's flying right at Burizalor. Burizalor powers up an energy ball of his own and sends it right at Angewomon's energy ball. Both blasts collided with one another and exploded. The light blinded Angewomon. Burizalor phases in front of her. Burizalor punches Angewomon right in the gut. Angewomon coughs out blood as she goes flying back and crashing through a nearby canyon wall.
"Shit! It's up to us now. I'll have more than a pleasure in beating the tar out of this creep,"Matt said, "Its payback time, Burizalor!"
Were Garurumon's ki powers up and he goes flying up right at Burizalor. Burizalor ducks under and phases out. Were Garurumon goes to deliver punches at Burizalor but the evil tyrant caught both of his hands. Burizalor and Were Garurumon went to have an on going struggle with one another to determine who has more power. Burizalor flips up and kicks Were Garurumon in the face. Were Garurumon faces Burizalor. The wolf man throws out a fist. Burizalor phases out and ducks under. He uses his tail to trip Were Garurumon off of his feet.
Were Garurumon stopped himself from falling and looks up. He couldn't see Burizalor from above. But once he turned around, he could see Burizalor flying right at him and delivering an elbow shot to the side if his head. Were Garurumon goes flying back and into a nearby cliff. Burizalor goes flying right at Were Garurumon and knees him right in the gut. Were Garurumon felt the force of the impact and coughed out so loud that even Matt could hear his cries from far above.
"Were Garurumon! Don't give up just yet my friend! Hang in there!"
Were Garurumon goes falling down into the ground. Burizalor hovers down and lifts his hand up. The ground started to shake and the rocks started to rise up. Burizalor watched as Were Garurumon was being lifted up into the air. Burizalor phases out and reappears above Were Garurumon and stomps him down into the ground.
"Sora! Its time for me to go in there and help him," Garudamon said.
"No wait! Not wait!"
"I must!"
Garudamon goes flying right at Burizalor and throws in a punch. But Burizalor had already phased out right before Garudamon could even knick him. Garudamon turns around and gets met with a thunderous kick to the face by Burizalor. Garudamon goes flying back and crashing into the ground. Tons of rubble fell upon Garudamon. Burizalor hovers right over the rubble and looks on over to Sora.
"You! I remember you. I killed you right before Taichi fused with Agumon to become Omega X. Now that he's not here, I will take this chance and I shall kill you again."
Burizalor pointed his finger at her and a beam of light was pointed towards Sora. The young girl could only look on and stood frozen for a moment.
"Say your prayers…"
"Horn Buster!"
An electrical ball of energy nailed Burizalor as an explosion occurred.
"Sora! Are you okay?" asked Izzy.
"I think so… Thanks, Izzy."
"Did we get him, Izzy?"
"I don't know, Altur Kabuterimon. Check it out."
"Right."
Altur Kabuterimon flew right over where the smoke had formed. He checked to make sure that Burizalor was hit and put out of commission at least for the moment. But as soon as the smoke began to clear away, Burizalor stood there unscathed. Altur Kabuterimon could only look on with fear and he gasped. A cruel smile formed across the face of Burizalor.
"You shouldn't be surprised, Altur Kabuterimon. You should know by now that even your attacks are ineffective against my new armor."
"Why you!"
"No, lets cut the chit chat. I'm in no mood to talk to you."
Altur Kabuterimon could only watch in horror as Burizalor fazed right in front of him and nailing him right in the chest. Altur Kabuterimon goes flying backwards. Burizalor then delivers an uppercut and sends Altur Kabuterimon flying up. Burizalor flies up and shoots down several blasts at Altur Kabuterimon, which sends the gigantic digimon flying down.
"Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Alright, Michael! It's down to you and me. You think Seadramon is up for it."
"But Mimi. That guy is too powerful, how do you expect our digimon to match up against him?"
"We're just going to have to try! Lillymon!"
"You called!"
"Attack Burizalor with everything you got!"
"Ok!"
"Seadramon! Go help her out as much as you can!"
"Right!"
Sedramon and Lillymon headed out to fight Burizalor. The evil tyrant looked down at them and smiled.
"So, more digimon to challenge my power? No problem. I shall end this quick!"
"Lillymon cover for me!"
"Right!"
"Ice Blast!"
Burizalor held out his hand and deflected the ice beam that was heading towards him. Burizalor phases out and reappears above Seadramon. Sedramon looks up and fires away more Ice Blasts. However, Burizalor was able to maneuver away each blast with ease using his incredible speed.
"Ice Blast!"
Burizalor flies up and quickly phases out. Seadramon fires away more beams but weren't fast enough to catch up with Burizalor's speed.
"Lillymon! I have him momentarily distracted! Go for it!"
"Flower Cannon!"
Lillymon holds out her hands and shoots out a huge ki-blast from her hands. She sends it right at Burizalor. The blast catches the evil tyrant off guard as it explodes right in his face. An explosion occurs as Seadramon catches his breathe. Lillymon has a satisfied look on her face.
"Alright, Mimi! We did it! We won this battle!"
But when Michael turned to face Mimi, she wasn't celebrating. She looked up with a serious look on her face.
"What's wrong? We got him."
"No we didn't. That blast was just able to momentarily stun him for a few seconds. It did not kill him."
"So that means…"
"He's still alive and kicking."
Burizalor uncovered himself and looked down at the two digimon with a cruel smile on his face. Not even a single scratch on his new armor.
"That was just a very weak move you did. Do you really expect to beat me with that combined attack? Amateurs."
Burizalor holds out his hands as two energy balls formed in his hands. He tosses them both down at the two warriors. Seadramon wasn't able to counterattack as the ball caught him right in the chest. Lillymon managed to maneuver away but was met with a kick to the face as Burizalor had quickly phased in front of her. Lillymon goes flying down and lands hard on the ground.
"Lillymon! Oh no!"
"Seadramon!"
"How are we supposed to beat this guy if he always counters our digimon's techniques. Hell, we can't even see him move. Its like if he were moving as if he were invisible,"Davis thought to himself.
Flamedramon slowly gets to his feet as he looks up at Burizalor.
"If only I could become Magnamon with the golden digimental but I can't. That was just a onetime deal. Shoot, how can we beat this guy?"
Suddenly, Lady Myotismon began to speak in the background.
"Burizalor. C'mon, lets end this foolishness. I didn't come all this way just to see you make mince meat out of these weaklings. We're here to enter the human realm and that's what we're going to do."
"Oh come on. Don't you realize that I'm just having fun! You can move on without me. I'm not leaving until Taichi gets here. We have an old score to settle."
"Fine. Soldiers. Move out into the vortex that shall lead you into the human realm. When you go there, show no mercy."
"Yes, mistress!"
"You hear the lady! Get a move on!"
"Yes sir!"
The soldiers all headed through the vortex that would lead them into the Digital World. Lady Myotismon turned her attention over towards the battlefield where the digimon were all down and out. The Digi-Destined all looked towards her and Burizalor angrily.
"Well. It looks as thought I won this battle once again. I told you never to challenge my power, Digi-Destined. And now look where it got you. Your digimon's faces are in the mud, cause they are weak. You have failed, children. Now the human realm shall belong to me."
Flamedramon charged angrily at Burizalor and goes to punch him. Burizalor easily side steps him and knees him in the gut really hard. Flamedramon falls down and clutches his gut in tremendous pain. He looks up at Burizalor. The evil tyrant looks down at him with his eyes glowing a blood shot red. He grabs Flamedramon by the neck and hoists him up. Flamedramon is unable to move.
"Put him down," Davis cried out.
"Sure, whatever you say."
But instead of putting him down, Burizalor punches him right in the face and sends Flamedramon flying through a nearby cliff ridge. Fallen rock debris buried Flamedramon under and he was done for.
"No… Flamedramon…"
"It looks like we have failed guys," TK said.
The Digi-Destined could only look on with total horror in the looks on their faces. There was nothing they could do now. All of their digimon were down and out at the hands of the evil tyrant.
"Ken? What should I do?" Stingmon asked. "Attack, or not?"
Ken was visibly shakened. It was understandable; since this was the first time he's encountered Burizalor. He couldn't do anything, not even move a muscle.
"I don't know… I just don't know…"
Burizalor turned to face Ken and Stingmon. A twisted smirk forms across his face.
"Heh, looks like I missed one."
"Now, shall we move onto the human realm, Burizalor?"
"Not just yet. Now I shall kill each of these children one by one. I almost forgot that I would kill Joe and his pet for attacking me behind my back. Then, I'll slaughter the wuss and his grasshopper."
Just as Burizalor was about to blast each child, the soldiers came flying out through the vortex as they had holes in their chests. Lady Myotismon and Burizalor look on in shock. More soldiers came flying through as they were all sliced in half. Body parts were tumbling onto the ground. Burizalor questioned himself and looked at the body parts. He was stunned at what he saw.
"What the hell caused all of that?" Matt asked.
"That's sick! I'm going to be sick!" Yolei whined.
"They're sliced… in… half… but what caused it… I have no idea," Ken said.
Suddenly, their questions would be answered as a flying Pegasusmon came flying out of the vortex and on his back was a boy that looked similar to TK but he looked a little older. He wore a vest that had the crest of hope on it. The Pegasusmon landed and the mysterious boy jumped off. He stroked away the hair that covered his face and turned to face the two evil super powers. He also had a blade sword.
"Yes. Can we help you with something, earthling?" asked Burizalor.
"Burizalor. I am here to kill you," the mysterious boy said calmly but in a cold tone.
Who is this mysterious young man who has now decided to step up and stand up against the evil tyrant and Lady Myotismon? Is he an ally or foe?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Another Fusion Warrior?! Tai Returns!
The mysterious young man stood across as he faced off both Lady Myotismon and Burizalor. His blade was gleaming from the sunlight and he doesn't take his eyes on the two evil powers standing in front of him. They were both in shock at what they just saw. Lady Myotismon managed to mutter a few words out of her state of shock.
"What did he just say?"
"I said. I'm going to kill you two."
Lady Myotismon and Burizalor looked towards each other with their eyes widened in shock. Then they both turned to face the young man. They started to laugh hysterically at his comments. Was this kid crazy or something?! Doesn't he realize who he is talking to?! Obviously, he wasn't aware but Burizalor wasn't going to let a big mouth kid tell him off like that.
"Hey get this. He just said that he was going to kill us."
They both laughed once again at the boy's comments. All they could see from the boy was nothing more than humorous rubbish. There was no way he would stand a chance against these two super powers. However, the boy doesn't seem to be laughing one bit. He seems very serious about this confrontation.
"Obviously, you have no idea who I am."
"So you must be Burizalor, I presume."
The evil tyrant gives the boy a glare as he just called out his name. How would a boy know the name of the most devastating evil super power known in the Digital World, but he has a Pegasusmon with him. It might be obvious that he could have gone to the Digital World and easily found out about Burizalor through stories being told of him.
"Its no surprise. I know everything about you."
"My. That's quite an honor. It's amazing how my name has already known in a far off dimension such as this one. I'm willing to bet that earth knows me so well. And you obviously know that I am the most powerful being in two worlds."
"Yes and I know very well that you're going to die here."
Burizalor is caught by surprise at what the boy just said to him. He angrily turns to face him and shakes with inner rage building up inside him. The boy didn't take his eyes off of Burizalor, he had them locked on like a hunter about to kill his prey. Burizalor regains his composure and clams his inner rage. He smiles and points to the boy.
"Ok that's enough talk from a little punk like you. Soldiers! Vaporize this piece of shit!"
"Yes sir!"
"The rest of you, spread out!"
The remaining soldiers ran onto the battlefield and surrounded the mystery boy. He looks around and didn't even flinch one inch. The soldiers don't even seem to scare him at all.
"I should warn you guys right now. You don't stand a chance against my partner and I."
"Kid. You don't scare us," replied a foot soldier.
"Hey! He's mine! I'll take it from here," said another foot soldier.
He walks over and activates his scouter. He began reading the power levels from both the boy and his Pegasusmon. It suddenly stopped and the soldier smiled amusedly.
"Ha! His battle ki is only at level five! We'll this is the end of the line for you, earth scumbag!"
He points his pistol at the boy and turns it on.
"This will only hurt for a few moments."
The soldier shoots out a blast from his gun and sends it right at the boy. As the beam went flying towards the boy, he easily pulled out his blade and deflected it. This caught the soldier by surprise as he shot more pistol blasts. And this time, Pegasusmon stopped in front of him and used his armor to deflect the beams. But what really caught the soldier by surprise was the fact that the Pegasusmon was fast enough to deflect the beams.
"What the hell?!"
The boy smiled and nods over to Pegasusmon. The armored horse quickly phases out and nails a devastating head butt to the soldier, as it sent him flying back into the ground. Burizalor turns to face them with a smirk on his face.
"Not bad. Maybe he'll prove to be a worthy opponent."
The other soldiers watched as their comrade fell in defeat. They angrily cried out, gathered into a large group and charged right at the two. The boy hopped onto Pegasusmon and flew him right through the charging soldiers. Everything goes black, as slashes from the boy's sword was heard. Flesh was being torn and bloods being broken.
As everything cleared, Pegasusmon stood frozen as everything went into slow motion. The boy put his sword away and turned to face the soldiers. They all fell to the ground with slash marks across their necks. Each of them was deleted one by one. One soldier managed to survive but he had a frightened look on his face. The boy stared him down as the soldier walked away as he began to shake violently. He walked backwards and stopped for a few moments. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down to see a hand sticking through his chest as blood came dripping down. Burizalor had punched his hand through his own soldier's chest.
"Lord… Burizalor… Why…"
As soon as he said that, the soldier fell to the ground with the other fallen soldiers that were all sliced into pieces just a while ago before they would enter the human realm. Burizalor turns to the boy with an evil grin on his face.
"Well. I must admit. I'm impressed, boy."
They both stared each other down. The Pegasusmon de-digivolved into Patamon and stood by his partner.
Soon, the other digimon would slowly revive their composures while the Digi-Destined watched on in total shock at what just transpired over the past few moments. TK and Matt took a good look at the boy.
"I don't want to sound crazy but that kid looks just like me. Only he looks a little older,"TK said to himself.
"Not to mention that he has the symbol of the crest if hope on his vest. He also has a Patamon with him and he was able to become Pegasusmon. Something isn't right here. How could he have the same powers that my brother possesses,"Matt thought to himself.
"Wow. He's awesome. Maybe he'll pick up where we left off," Yolei said.
"Whoever he is, he's dead meat as we know," Sora cried out.
"She's right! He's going to get himself killed! We better stop him," Mimi said.
"No. We must not interfere."
"But why not, Leomon?" asked Ken.
"No. This is his battle for now. We must respect his wishes and not interfere."
"But Leomon… How do you know that he's not just some crazy guy who's trying to be a hero," Cody asked.
Leomon did not reply to Cody's question as he looked onto the battlefield. He took a close examination on the boy and began to sense his Patamon's power.
"They're concealing their true power. I wonder how much of an opposed force he can be against a monster like Burizalor. I just hope he knows what he's doing. I never felt such a power like this since the last fight against Burizalor, when War Greymon was fighting. This Patamon has the same power level as War Greymon did three and a half years ago. If this is true, then we're in for a big surprise."
The boy continued to have his stare down against Burizalor. The two didn't take their eyes off one another. Lady Myotismon could only smile and look on.
"My. What a pleasant surprise."
"Yes, my lady. This is quite a shocking turn of events."
"And now. You two are going down!"
"Ha! Ha! I must say, this boy is nothing more of a comedian rather than a true fighter."
"Oh yes. I can see that and judging from his Patamon, he's no much of a threat to me whatsoever."
The boy did not take his eyes off of Burizalor and kept his Patamon under control from releasing any tremendous power.
"Boy, I'm going to teach you a valuable lesson that you should have learned when you were younger. One who seeks his skills fastest shall be the quickest to die."
"Ha! Some tip. Kind of like what's about to happen to you."
"Grr! What did you say, you little shit?!"
"Now let me tell you something that you should have learned! Know your enemy and now you're the first who is about to find out how its like not to detect your opponent's motives."
"You insolent human! You dare talk to me like that?! Ahem. Lady, I say we kill this little punk!"
"Yes. He's nothing more than a waste of our time. Just kill him already. After this, we should really be heading out into the human realm. I'm getting quite impatient."
"Yes. But I think I'm going to have a little fun before I get down to business."
"You know something, Burizalor. You're friend is right. You don't have all day. You're going to die in just a few moments. So I suggest you say your prayers."
"Is that a fact? Well, I'm going to say that I don't have time to deal with weaklings like you. I got another insolent fool that I plan to mortify before the end of the day."
"Is that so? Well sorry to break this to you but I'm officially canceling your dinner reservations with Taichi and Agumon!"
"What?!"
Now this really caught Burizalor by surprise. Now somebody else is out looking for Tai at the same time?! How could this be? Even Lady Myotismon was stunned.
"Who's this Taichi?"
"Ahem. My lady, he's the Digi-Destined that fused with Agumon to become Omega X. I told you that so many times already. I just hate to repeat myself."
"Oh."
"So, I take it that you know Taichi?"
"No. I have not met him. I just heard of him."
"Oh. An you plan on meeting him yourself?"
"And your plan must be to kill everyone in the human realm just so you can wait for Taichi to come so that you could mortify him?"
"Yes. That's what I said. And you'll be among those people that will die. Just think, this world and the human world shall be eradicated of its vermin. Then I, Burizalor, shall claim the status as destroyer of many worlds!"
"Oh, is that a fact? You obviously have no idea."
"Whatever do you mean? I could easily plunge your world and the Digital World into a wasteland in a matter of seconds. I don't even have to try at all."
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
"Huh?"
"I'm talking about the fact that Taichi isn't the only Chosen Child who is able to perform the fusion technique with their partner digimon. You're also looking at another, standing in front of you at this very moment!"
"What?!"
Lady Myotismon and Burizalor looked on with shock on their faces. The boy smiled and crossed his arms proudly. But was he just being delusional or was he hiding his true power? Whatever it maybe, Burizalor sure wasn't buying into it. He began to laugh hysterically.
"Ha! I've never met anyone who could play such a bluff such as you! That's a good one, boy! Ha! Can you believe that?"
"Burizalor. He obviously is joking. He can't be a fusion warrior. I got to see it to believe it."
"He probably can't even prove that to us! He doesn't have that ability to perform such an advanced technique."
The boy smiled and tilted his head up. The ground started to shake a little and rocks were lifting up due to the amount of gravity increasing. Patamon could feel his energy increasing along with it. The boy looked down at his partner and clenched his fists tightly. His body began to glow a bright aura. This caught Burizalor and Lady Myotismon both by surprise as their laughter was now put a sudden halt. They could feel the amount of energy coming from the boy and his Patamon.
"No! It can't be," Burizalor said with fear in the tone of his voice.
The bodies that surrounded the boy were all lifted up because of the force of gravity being released. Patamon started to digivolve as he quickly changed forms. The boy had a digivice at the side of his pocket and it began to glow. Patamon became Angemon as a result. Then the boy's crest started to glow. And it was the same crest symbol that TK has in possession. The crest glowed and the boy's Angemon quickly digivolved into Magna Angemon.
Burizalor couldn't stop shaking as he saw the boy and Magna Angemon began to glow instantly. Lady Myotismon couldn't believe her eyes. She has never seen this display of digivolution before.
The Digi-Destined could only watch on in amazement as the boy started to float up by himself. Soon, they would be even more shocked when his Magna Angemon flew up around him.
"Wow! Can you believe this," Joe said.
"No way! Are they going to fus-" TK muttered.
"Yes. I have a good feeling about this."
The boy instantly turned into a beam of light as he entered Magna Angemon's body. Their combined powers increased dramatically as Burizalor watched on in total shock. Replays of Omega X taunting him were replaying in his mind. Burizalor started to sweat like a pig as he started to walk backwards.
Magna Angemon then released a beam of light as he completed his transformation. Burizalor started to walk back towards Lady Myotismon.
"Their… power? He's got the same power as Omega X," Burizalor said frantically.
Burizalor could easily remember what Omega X did to him three and a half years ago. He couldn't let the past come back to haunt him. He's the most powerful force in two forces and he wants to keep that spot without any taking it away from him.
"So this is the power of fusion?" asked Lady Myotismon.
"Yes… This is it… Unfortunately," replied Burizalor.
Angemon X looked just like Magna Angemon but he had a blade on his back much like the boy had one. And his wings are more metallic and his face shield was gone. The heavy armor that covered him was now gone and he was able to be more mobile as far as movements during battles were concerned. His face was revealed as a young man's and his eyes were an ocean blue color.
"I am now Angemon X. So, give me your best shot, Burizalor!"
"Oh yeah?! Try some of this!"
Burizalor quickly held out his hand and released a large energy beam and sends it right for Angemon X.
"Burn in hell, Angemon X!"
Angemon X stood there as the beam hit him and it caused a huge explosion to occur. Burizalor smiled with satisfaction and felt Angemon X's power decease rapidly. In his mind, he predicts that Angemon X had not survived the blast.
"Kari did you see that?" asked Angewomon.
"Yeah. Unbelievable! How did that kid get a crest like TK's and how was he able to fuse with his digimon. I thought my brother was the only one who had that power."
"Well if anybody has a really strong fighting bond with their digimon. Then its possible they can fuse to become one ultimate fighting machine," Matt said.
"Michael, are you okay?" asked Mimi.
"Yes, but I want to know how that kid is," Michael said, "That fusion was simply out of this world."
"Your right and Burizalor sure wasn't happy about the result. I hope that kid is okay, that blast could have killed him."
"I got to get a closer look at this," Leomon said as he started to head off towards the other side of the battlefield.
"Hey! Wait for us," Davis cried out.
As soon as he said that, the other Digi-Destined followed him.
"Yolei, what's wrong?" asked Shurimon.
"I'm too scared to go out there. What if Burizalor kills us in one full swoop?"
"Don't worry. I'll make sure you get through ground zero safe and sound," said a voice.
Yolei turned to see Ken with his hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks Ken."
"You guys. We better head on other where the others were. We don't want to get left behind," Stingmon muttered as he picked up Ken and flew off. Shurimon picks up Yolei and flies her over to the other side where the other children were waiting for her.
"Wow. That was pretty nice of Ken. When he was the Kaiser, he was rotten and mean. But now, he's changed for the better. If only I could be as nice as he is."
Burizalor looked over to where he had shot Angemon X. Large amounts of smoke was forming and fire was coming out of the ground as a result of the blast. Burizalor could only smile at the devastation he had left in his wake. Lady Myotismon was quite satisified at what just transpired.
"Well. I must say that little runt didn't last as long as he thinks he could have. You quickly put him in his place, Burizalor. Thank goodness."
"Well what more can you expect. He was just a boy… Huh?!"
Burizalor's eyes started to widen as he turned to face the area where he shot Angemon X. He started to shake nervously as the smoke started to clear away. Angemon X was still standing there. He was unscathed from the last blast. This simply angered Burizalor even further.
"I hope that isn't the best you have, Burizalor. If it is, then you're in big trouble. Face it, you can't defeat me."
"No! You shall die!"
Burizalor forms an energy ball in his hand and tosses it right at Angemon X. Lady Myotismon shielded herself from the force of the energy ball.
"Burizalor! What are you trying to do, kill us all?!"
Angemon X watched as the large energy ball was coming right at him. He held out his hands and used his tremendous force in attempt to push it right back at Burizalor. But he pulls back a fist and punches right through the energy ball. The energy ball was then shattered into small energy blasts that started to fly up and shower the ground. Burizalor could only look in utter disbelief. Angemon X had easily shattered his energy ball as if it were nothing.
Angemon X turned to face Burizalor with a smirk on his face. Burizalor clenched his fists and snarled angrily.
The Digi-Destined were also in disbelief. After everything that had to go through three and a half years ago, the fused power of the boy and his Patamon was easily deflecting Burizalor's most powerful attacks.
"This is unreal," Sora said.
"And we gave it everything we had back three years ago," Garudamon replied.
"This combination doesn't look like they're even breaking a sweat," TK said.
"Yes. His power is near the same ki that Omega X had back three years ago," Leomon replied, "I would let them handle this from here. No telling what could happen next."
Burizalor couldn't believe what had just transpired over the fast few minutes. Angemon X had countered every attack that he has thrown at him.
"Wow. This warrior is really something else," replied Lady Myotismon, "He's really giving you a good fight there, Burizalor."
The evil tyrant didn't reply as he kept an eye on Angemon X to make sure he didn't make his next move.
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon was watching the whole battle through his mind. He also could not believe what has transpired.
"Zhuqiaomon, I don't know what to say about this. But this new kid and his digimon are a lot stronger than their digimon. If that's the case, I hope he beats Burizalor's clock out!"
"I agree. I never seen anything this strong since Omega X. Burizalor stands no chance now."
"I have never seen this boy. Him becoming a Chosen Child was quite unexpected."
"You mean, you have nothing to do with it?"
"No. I have never met this boy before. Wherever he got this power, it's simply amazing. And lets hope he is on our side."
***************************************************************************************
X was watching the events unfold with a smirk on his face. He was relieved that such a warrior is taking a stand against the long-feared tyrant.
"Yes. It has come to pass."
"Another Digi-Destined? It seems this one has a good idea of who he's up against."
"You're right, Keke. Burizalor has been scared shitless up to this point. It's about damn time. I haven't seen him this scared since Tai was beating him back in the digital world."
"So, what's the verdict? How long will that bastard live?"
"I'll give him another few minutes. But, let's not underestimate him. I'm sure that monster has a trick or two up his sleeve."
"What's this feeling I have?" Keke thought. "It's as if I knew this boy. It's like if we were related in some way."
"You think so, Kek?"
"You read my thoughts."
"I don't need to. I can simply read the expression off your face."
"Well. I am kind of worried about the boy."
"Don't worry, Keke. He'll pull through just fine. We just have to trust in his ability."
"Yes. C'mon, kid. You're our only hope. Put this rat bastard in his place!"
*************************************************************************************
Angemon X stood off against Burizalor. Both stared each other down with intense looks on their faces. Angemon X was the first to speak up.
"Ahhh foolish Burizalor. Soon you will die because you are blinded by your own anger and selfish greed. I'll give you one more chance to hit me with everything that you got. Then after that, no more chances. You'll be sent to eternal damnation where you belong."
"Ha. We'll see about that."
Burizalor goes flying up as he reaches the skies. He looks down on Angemon X and raises his finger. He started to power up as a small ball of energy was forming on his finger and then it got bigger while his power started to increase dramatically.
"I'm sure you're aware of this technique. With this, I can't only destroy the Digital World but also the human realm! I don't have to go there, I can just destroy it with this technique. I call it the Armageddon Genocide."
The Digi-Destined looked up and remembered this deadly technique as well. They started to worry for the worst that was soon to come. Now they would have to relive the nightmare all over again. Anything that is infected by this darkness would automatically be destroyed.
"And with my new enhancements, I can create an even larger attack. Which means that your chances of counterattacking this technique are slim, very slim! Prepare to die!"
**************************************************************************************
Azulongmon gasped and felt the tremendous energy that was gathered to form the new and improved version of the Armageddon Genocide.
"Oh no! Now with this upgraded version of the Armageddon Genocide, he will easily destroy both worlds in one full swoop!"
"Fusion warrior, you better get your butt into gear and become a miracle!"
**************************************************************************************
"No! He's going to use the very same Genocide that he used in the digital world! Only this time, Burizalor has upgraded it!" Keke exclaimed.
"Calm yourself, Keke," X replied. "I think Burizalor is going to be the one who bites the dust."
"But, how can the boy possibly take that? It's Burizalor's finishing technique."
"Trust me…"
Keke simply took a glance over through the orb and clasped her hands together. Her prayers were sent to the boy.
"Pull through this one alive, kid."
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor looked down upon Angemon X with a sadistic look on his face. The dark energy ball was getting bigger and bigger each second that passed by. Lady Myotismon was getting very impatient.
"Burizalor! Hurry up! Lets get this over with! You're going to destroy both worlds like this!"
"My lady! We shall find Taichi and Agumon in the other dimension that they are presently training at. These two worlds will be nothing more than a giant wasteland in a matter of moments!"
Burizalor released the Armageddon Genocide and sent it hurtling towards Angemon X. Angemon X simply smiled and watched as the black deadly ball of energy nailed him and the ground around him started to cave in. Now the surface was beginning to shatter into pieces much like many years ago. Burizalor looked down and started to laugh hysterically.
The Digi-Destined could only look on with horrified looks on their faces. Now their fate has arrived. Not only would the Digital World be destroyed, but their earth world will be going along with it. There was nothing they could do now.
"This is the end. We're all going to die," Matt said to himself.
"No! It can't end like this,"TK said.
"Tai?! Where are you?! We hope that you're here to help us out of this mess,"Kari said to herself.
"Burizalor! Let us get out of here before this whole dimension implodes!"
"Yes. Let us take the hovercraft out of here and back into the dark realm," Burizalor said but was soon cut off as he felt the power of the Armageddon Genocide suddenly decreasing.
Burizalor turned to see the large black ball of negative energy suddenly rising up. He felt a tremendous power lifting it up. He could only look on with total shock.
"This can't be!"
Angemon X flies up with the Armageddon Genocide energy ball in one hand. He lifted it as if it were nothing but disposable trash.
"That's not possible! Damn you," Burizalor cried out.
"That's impossible," Lady Myotismon shrieked.
Angemon X hoisted the ball up and turned to face Burizalor. His smile was turning into a big grin, which really angered Burizalor.
"Hey Burizalor? You need this back?"
Burizalor shoots out a beam and sends it at the energy ball. Angemon X watches as the beam hits the ball and felt energy suddenly increasing from it. The ball then exploded right in front of Angemon X's face. A huge explosion occurs as it engulfed Angemon X into a bright light.
Lady Myotismon shielded herself from the flying debris that was coming towards her. The digimon covered their human partners from the debris.
Soon as the light cleared away and the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of Angemon X but a large crater and fallen debris. Burizalor looked down with a satisfied look on his face.
"Yes. He's wasted."
Lady Myotismon phases down towards Burizalor and looks down at the crater.
"Well done, Burizalor. Looks like you finally managed to beat the tar out of that weakling."
They began to laugh hysterically as a shadow loomed over them from behind. Yes it was Angemon X. He survived the blast and he looked down upon the two evil super powers with cold intentions.
"He was nothing. He was just a little warm up before I get really serious when I beat the crap out of Omega X next."
Angemon X held out his hands and started to make some waving movements using his incredible speed. He then held out both hands and shouted out to his two adversaries.
"BURIZALOR!"
Burizalor gasped in shock as he turned around to see Angemon X flying above him.
"Thats not possible!"
Angemon X shoots out a huge energy beam and sends it hurtling towards the two. However, Lady Myotismon and Burizalor were both able to manuever out of the way. They both flew up to safety.
"Grr! That was very close! Now I'm going to kill you," Burizalor cried out.
But as soon as he said that, he turned to see Angemon X with his blade intact. He held out his blade and flew towards Burizalor. The evil tyrant was frozen with fear. He couldn't even move a muscle. Angemon X swooped down and sliced into Burizalor. Within a matter of moments, Angemon X stood still as everything went into slow motion. Burizalor looked down at his body and watched as his lower part of the body was sliding off. He gasped. He couldn't even mutter a single word.
Burizalor was sliced in half from the blade of Angemon X. His upper body was cut off from his other half within seconds. Lady Myotismon could only look on with shock in her eyes. She couldn't believe it but she saw it. Now Burizalor has met his match and met his final fate.
***************************************************************************************
Keke jumped around in celebration over the feat the boy had accomplished. X stood by with that same confident grin.
"He did it! He did it! He has rid the digital world of that scumbag! What a happy day! Oh hell yeah!"
"I told you so. Didn't I tell you so? He was going to pull through just fine."
"I wonder how the other Digi-Destined taking this?"
"They're happy, but shocked. They'll eventually understand."
"It seems you know a whole lot about this boy. What are you trying to hide?"
"Nothing."
"C'mon. You're hiding something X. What is it?
"He's taken down Burizalor. All that's left is Lady Myotismon. This battle is not over yet."
***************************************************************************************
Burizalor looked up in total horror as he was frozen. He couldn't move a muscle. What he was looking up would be his last vision of his life. Angemon X came flying down and brought down his blade right through the evil tyrant. Everything went into slow motion. Angemon X appears right behind Burizalor.
Burizalor stood frozen for a few moments and he felt half of his body sliding off. He could see his lower half cut off and watched as blood came spewing out. Burizalor didn't even cry out nor did he say anything. It was as if his speech was quickly cut off.
Lady Myotismon could only look on with total shock as her eyes widened.
"Burizalor! How can this happen?! This is insane!"
Lady Myotismon couldn't believe it and all she could do now was hover around and watch Burizalor get finished off.
The Digi-Destined looked up and they couldn't believe at what they saw. It was unbelievable. Their eyes were widened as well.
"Take a look up there," TK cried out, "Man that's just unbelievable!"
"I see it but I don't believe it," Sora replied.
Angemon X raised his blade back and then cut right through Burizalor. Then he sliced at him again, and again, and again. He kept slicing at Burizalor until all that was left was shredded pieces of Burizalor. Pieces of his skin and robotic parts were floating around. Angemon X powered up his fist and wrenched back. His fist began to glow as he pushed his fist back at the floating remains and blasted them with a huge beam of holy energy. Burizalor's remains were then fried into charred pieces of dust and debris.
The Digi-Destined all gasped in disbelief. They couldn't believe that a Digi-Destined that they are unaware of was able to perform the fusion with his digimon. The boy easily defeated the most evil tyrant that has ever terrorized two worlds.
Angemon X put his blade away and then he looked down over at Lady Myotismon, who was giving him a death glare. Lady Myotismon was visibly upset with that fact that Angemon X has killed and disintegrated Burizalor out of existence. She wasn't going to let such a powerful warrior like Angemon X scare her. Something popped into her mind and she decided to use her wits to outsmart Angemon X.
"He… He killed Burizalor and he did it effortlessly. Who the hell is he?" asked Matt.
"Well whoever, he is. He turned Burizalor into cold cuts and boom, he vanquished him," replied Kari.
"Now he's about to take on that Myotismon-look like. She might be a little tougher than he can handle," TK said.
"Well, what are we waiting for?! I say we take a closer look at this," Davis cried out, "Lets go Flamedramon!"
Flamedramon flew over and picks up Davis. Soon, the other digimon went over to pick up their respective partners. But unlike Flamedramon, they walked off to the direction where he was heading. Yolei looked over to Shurimon.
"What's wrong, Yolei?" asked Shurimon.
"Oh, Shurimon. What if that boy gets killed," she said.
"Do not worry so much. I am very sure that he can take care of himself."
"I have to agree with your partner there," Ken replied, "He's achieved a whole new level of power and this is the first time I got to see an actual fusion between a digimon and his human partner. So, its safe to say that he has all of this under control now."
"Ok…"
"So lets move on over where the others are waiting for us. We don't want to stall anytime, right?"
"You're right. Thanks for telling me all this, Ken."
"Its the best I could do for you."
Yolei nodded as Shurimon went over to pick her up. Ken waved over to Stingmon to catch his attention and Stingmon went over to pick him up. They were now heading over to where the other Digi-Destined were waiting for them.
Angemon X landed on one side of a large cliff and waited for his other adversary to meet him on over down. Lady Myotismon followed him and hovered down onto the cliff where she stood off to face him. An intense stare down took place and neither one was backing down. Lady Myotismon was the first to speak.
"Ahhh. So this is the legendary fusion that I have heard so much about. I'm surprised that it happens to be true and the proof is standing right in front of me. But rather than be afraid of you, I look at you and you present me with quite an opportunity. You see, I am not blinded by my own rage and anger like much Burizalor was. So how would you like to join me with you leading the way and become the most powerful being in two worlds?"
"No. Not a chance."
"Oh come on now. Don't be like that. Just think, everything all around you could be yours and play things for your own amusement. You could live like a god? So what do you say?"
Angemon X continued to stare down Lady Myotismon without even muttering a word.
"So its a no from you then? Al right. But I would like to take a look at your blade. Please, you can trust me. I want to view its magnificant beauty."
Lady Myotismon held her hand out and Angemon X smirked. Lady Myotismon quirked an eyebrow as Angemon X pulled out his blade and twirled it around.
"You want it? Here catch!"
Angemon X tossed the blade over to Lady Myotismon as she caught it. She then examined the blade's magnificent rarity. A smile formed across her face.
"Yes. This is quite remarkable craftsmanship. You know if it weren't for this blade, you wouldn't have defeated Burizalor that easily? So what do you say?"
"Believe in what you want to believe."
"Yes! Ok then, I will! I say that without this sword, you are nothing but a pathetic weakling. If you were to face me now, you would die within minutes!"
Lady Myotismon raised the sword over Angemon X and went to slice his head off. But Angemon X quickly caught with one hand and overpowered Lady Myotismon's control over the blade. Suddenly, Angemon X started to glow a bright aura and easily pushed back Lady Myotismon and the tip of the blade with one finger. Lady Myotismon started to sweat like crazy at what she was witnessing. She couldn't even mutter a single word.
"You should know better. It's not the weapon that makes a fine warrior. Its his ability and fighting spirit."
Angemon X raised his fist back as it started to glow. Lady Myotismon gasped in total fear at the sight of Angemon X's glowing fist.
"Wait a minute, you dirty son of…"
But before she would scream out another word, Angemon X pushed his fist forward and rammed it right through Lady Myotismon's gut. Angemon X retrieved his blade as he watched Lady Myotismon flying back with a hole in her chest. The other Digi-Destined could only look on with total shock on the looks on their faces. Lady Myotismon goes flying down into the ground, as blood was emerging from the hole in her chest.
"Incredible!" exclaimed Ken.
"Who is this guy?" said Matt.
Angemon X held out his hand and aimed right for the fallen Lady Myotismon. She manages to open her eyes and look up at her adversary. She felt tremendous pain erupting throughout her body. However, she was able to move and look up.
"No. You can't… I'm defenseless… No… Please… Burizalor was evil, but not I… All I wanted was peace… I met you no harm… I swear it… Please…"
Angemon X fires out a large beam and sends it right for Lady Myotismon. She let out a horrifying scream as the beam disintegrated her as she exploded into data. Angemon X then looked over the hovercraft and shot out a beam. Within a matter of seconds, the hovercraft exploded by the tremendous amount of energy that was sent towards it.
The Dig-Destined watched on and they couldn't believe that one single force was able to wipe out a large army of soldiers, two evil super powers and a hovercraft all in one full swoop.
***************************************************************************************
"Damn! Now that's what I'm talking about! No mercy!" Keke cheered.
"It's over. Now we can finally say that the digital universe's threats have been laid to rest. This boy might even be more powerful than Tai."
"Don't play dumb with me, X. You seem to know something about this boy. Tell me, now..."
"Um, maybe later?"
"I'm not letting you off the hook that easily, X."
"He's done his part. Now all we can do now is wait for Tai to return. He should get there any minute now."
***************************************************************************************
Angemon X placed his blade away and began to power down. His body started to glow and split into two halves. As the aura of light faded away, all that was left standing was the mysterious boy and his Patamon. The boy sighed and then he looked up to the Digi-Destined.
They all gasped when he turned his attention to them. And they began to wonder if he was going to attack them or not. But then their questions would be answered as a smile came over his face.
"Hey! Are you guys looking for Taichi?!"
They all gasped and looked towards each other. They all nodded at once.
"Yeah. I thought so. He's going to be arriving here any moment."
"Huh? But how do you know that Tai will be arriving at this same exact location," asked TK.
"And what do you know about my brother," asked Kari.
"I'll explain everything once Taichi gets here. Come on over, you can trust me."
The Digi-Destined went over and gathered around the boy. They began questioning him.
"So was that fusion that you and your partner performed," asked Yolei.
"Yes it is. Patamon and I have been doing that for quite some time. So we have quite an experience edge over it."
"And where do you come from," Michael asked.
"I can't say."
"What do you mean you can't say? You have had to come from somewhere," Matt said, "Now tell us where you came from."
"I'm sorry. I can't say."
"Ooo. Mystery man, I see. So, are you some sort of secret agent spy then?" Mimi asked.
"Yes. I'm sort of like one but no I don't work for any top secret agency."
"How old are you?" Tentomon asked.
"I'm seventeen and half years old."
"Wow. He's such a cutie," Yolei and Mimi said to themselves.
"And you can't even tell us your name and where you came from. Man you must have a private life," Izzy said, "So how did you become a Digi-Destined?"
"Well. That I can tell you."
"Let me ask you this. Were you around when the digimon invaded earth about three and a half years ago? Michael here got his digimon after seeing digimon in New York. And I was wondering, did you receive your digimon during that time."
"No. It was way before that time."
"Huh? You mean you had an encounter with digimon long before?" asked Sora.
"Yes. It happened so fast but so long ago. I could remember the first time I saw my first digimon…"
Flashback
The boy was playing some video games while taking a break and to relieve himself from the stress that he has been going through as far as his family was concerned.
"I remember I was playing video games one day. I was so addicted to them. I was trying to escape such a harsh life after a little dispute amongst my family. We had lost somebody that was an important part of our family. So my mother and I decided to move out. And with so much mental pain, I couldn't take it anymore and so I became obsessed in video games. I felt that the world was too cruel to bear with. Then one day, I was on my computer and I was downloading a game that I was dying to play for so long. And that's where everything started going weird. I could remember a small digivice coming out of my computer. I was freaked out at the first time I saw it. Then I came to realize that it was a digivice sent to me from the Digital World. However, I was much too young to realize that. So I took it and opened a digital gate. I felt like being downloaded once I entered that gate and I finally found myself in the Digital World. This all happened just a mere five years ago."
End of Flashback
"Five years ago?! But that was just a year before us original Digi-Destined entered the Digital World," Joe said.
"Yeah and we weren't even hatched out of our eggs around that time," Gomamon said.
"Strange I never recalled to ever seen a human until the original Chosen Children came onto File Island," Leomon said.
"Strange. I never meet any one of you around that time period. I could have been the first human to ever arrive in the Digital World. Well anyways back to my story…"
Flashback
The boy found himself in the Digital World, but he did not arrive on File Island. Rather, he arrived on another continent that is now non-existent.
"I found myself on another continent in the Digital World. Today, it is non-existent for unknown reasons. This was an island where many families of Patamons roamed. No other digimon inhabited this island but Patamon. They were very friendly and were happy to help me. As soon as I explored the island, I found this mysterious cave and there I found a Digi-egg. At first, I was going to make scrambled eggs out of it but it hatched. At first, I was looking into the eyes of my very own digimon. From there, I took care of him and with my help, he digivolved into Tokomon. But what really needed to boost his energy was the digivice that I had in my possession. One day, a neighboring Shellmon, who guarded the oceans, attacked us and Tokomon was able to digivolve into Patamon. Even though he was too weak to defeat Shellmon, that day really became his first step into evolving into more powerful being. And as you can see…"
End of Flashback
"…We were able to demonstrate that as we fused to become Angemon X. But that is another story for another time."
"Huh?! Why can't you tell us now?" asked Cody.
"I bet he's trying to keep everything a secret," Matt said, "How do we know your not lying?!"
"Hey if he says he's a Digi-Destined, then I believe him. Just look, he has a D-3 and a digimon as his partner. And that's enough proof to really make it official," TK said.
"And the reason why I decided to stop talking about my story is because your digimon are sensing something approaching our way. My Patamon was the first to know."
The Digi-Destined turned to see their digimon looking up into the sky and gathered into one tight spot.
"Angewomon, can you feel something approaching?" asked Kari.
"Yes. The boy is right. I can feel something. The energy from it is tremendous."
"What do you think it could be," asked Yolei.
"We'll just have to see and find out," replied Ken.
"Its Taichi. I just know its him," replied the boy.
Suddenly, an object was coming down from the sky. A beam of light came shining through the clouds as a portal opened up. The Digi-Destined could only look on as a person came hovering down with a smaller person right at his side.
"Can it be? Could it be him?" muttered Sora.
Soon, the figure landed on the ground as he was cloaked in a orange hood and cloak. He looks up at the Digi-Destined and points to them.
"That's not Tai," said Mimi.
"No kidding," replied Matt, "If this is Tai then I'm a monkey's uncle!"
"Heh. Hey Matt! I didn't know you had a monkey as an uncle," muttered the cloaked figure.
The children turned towards the hooded figure and they could easily recognize his voice. The hooded figure revealed himself. It was Tai Kamiya himself! The other hooded figure revealed himself to be Agumon. He smirked as he saw his friends again.
"Tai! Agumon! You're back!" Sora cried out, "We're so happy to see you guys!"
"Yeah and this time you're back for good," TK said.
"Welcome back home, big brother."
However, Tai was even more surprised to even see his friends at the location that he was supposed to show up. The guardians hadn't told him about this, so this was an actual surprise for him.
"Its good to see you guys. But how did you know the exact location that I was going to arrive at?"
Tai looked to his friends and then he looked over to the mysterious boy. The boy looked over to Tai with a smirk on his face.
The mysterious warrior has wiped out Burizalor and Lady Myotismon. If this wasn't good news, then this takes the icing of the cake! Tai and Agumon have returned as their friends embrace them. And now that they have returned, what does the mysterious boy have to tell Taichi about that he wants to keep as a secret? What kind of secrets is behind the mystery of his boy?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The Secret Revealed: The Prelude of Terror! Preparation for the Artificials!
The Digi-Destined cheered happily over the arrival of their long time leader, Tai. Tai looked at his friends and was glad to see them, but he was even more confused is to how they knew when and where he was going to arrive.
"Tai! We're so glad you're back with us full time," Mimi said.
"Welcome home, Tai!" Izzy replied.
Kari was even happier to see her big brother return back with Agumon. And judging from his looks, Tai was grown. He still looks the same except that he's older and much taller.
"It's so good to you all again," Tai said, "But I how did you guys know the exact the location I was going to arrive at?"
"We didn't know. This young man over here told us," Leomon said as he pointed to the mystery boy.
Tai was even more puzzled as he took a good look at the boy. They exchanged looks and there was a confused look on his face. So how does this guy know so much about the exact location that he was going to be arriving?
"That guy? He knew the exact location that I was going to arrive at? Heck, we haven't even met before."
Now the Digi-Destined were even more confused. They looked over to the mystery boy and began to get suspicious.
"But he knew the exact location that you were going to be arriving," Yolei said.
"Hmm. And I don't know those five people there."
Ken points over to Davis, Ken, Cody, Yolei and Michael.
"Hey! So you must be Tai! What's up?! You can call me Davis! I kind of filled in your spot during your absence. And this here is my digimon partner, Flamedramon."
"Wow. I'm impressed. Cool digimon you got there. What crest do you have?"
"I don't have a crest but I do have these things called digimentals. They help my digimon armor evolve. Right now, he's in his armored form using the digimental of courage. I have another one called the digimental of friendship and I use that your help for Veemon armor evolve into his second form, Lighdramon or you can just call him Raidramon."
"Wow. Digimentals? Armor evolving? I'm really far behind. And you must be?"
"I'm Yolei. And this digimon here is Shurimon, and he's in his armored form using my digimental of sincerity. He can also armor evolve into Halsemon using the digimental of love. His normal rookie form is Hawkmon."
"Nice to meet you both. And you?"
"I'm Cody. This here is Digmon. He's also in his armored evolved form using the digimental of knowledge. My other digimental is that of reliability and Digmon can armor evolve into Submarimon using that item. His rookie form is Armadillomon."
"This awesome. Armored digimon. This must be another step in digivolution. I was never told about this. Hey Kari?"
"Yeah?"
"Its good to see you and TK again. So have you two been protecting the Digital World with these new kids?"
"Yep. And we both have our own digimentals as well. Mine is that of light and Gatomon can armor evolve into Nefertimon using it."
"And I have the digimental of hope. I use it to enable Patamon to armor evolve into Pegasusmon."
"This is great. And it looks like you guys took care of Burizalor with them."
"No. We didn't," said Ken.
"And you are?"
"Ken. I was the enemy that the new kids were facing. I was the evil Digimon Kaiser. But they found out that an evil individual named Shadramon was using me. I'm back to being a loyal Digi-Destined. My partner is Wormmon and he can digivolve into Stingmon."
"Well its good to know that your back to being your old self. Geez, I need to lie down and think this all over."
"Ken is right. We weren't the ones that defeated Burizalor," Michael said.
"And you?"
"Oh. My name is Michael. My digimon partner here is named Betamon. He digivolves into Seadramon. My friend, Mimi here brought me here since we know each other in New York."
"Digi-Destined kids in other parts of the world?"
"Yes but that's another story for another time. Like I was trying to say, Ken is right and we were not the ones that defeated Burizalor."
"Right... So who defeated him? Was it you Leomon?"
Leomon nodded.
"Ok, was it Matt and Were Garurumon?"
Matt nodded and rolled his eyes.
"Ok then. Was it you, TK? Kari? Davis?"
"It was neither of us," Leomon replied, "It was this new guy over here."
The Digi-Destined looked over towards the new kid and his Patamon. Tai looked over to him.
"Yeah. He did it with ease," said Joe.
"Wow really? Well, I certainly haven't met this guy yet. How did he do it?"
"He performed the fusion technique with his partner over here," said Sora, "And I thought you and Agumon were the only ones able to perform such an advanced technique."
"Wow, he can perform the fusion with his Patamon? But I never heard anything from the four guardians about him."
"That's what we are trying to tell you," Matt growled, "Do we really have to repeat ourselves?!"
"Well no. But it's very confusing and its right for somebody to repeat everything. I guess cause I have a short memory lapse."
Tai smirked at his comment as the other Digi-Destined fell to the ground with their legs sticking out.
"Was it something I said?"
The boy chuckled to himself and turned to face Tai.
"So you obviously must know some stuff about me. What do you know?"
"Your name is Taichi Kamiya and your digimon partner is Agumon. When he warp digivolves, he becomes War Greymon. Your fusion form is Omega X."
Tai's widened in shock. He couldn't believe that the boy knows everything about him being a Digi-Destined.
"So, who are you?"
"That I must tell you privately. If you want to know more about me, you must follow me on the other side of this valley."
"Tai? Can you trust him," asked Kari.
"I wouldn't do it," Cody said.
"Well I have to know. So I'm taking this chance."
"Please. All I'm asking is a brief word with you. Taichi."
Tai looked over to his friends. He began thinking and wondering what the wise judgment would be. But he knew what he chooses. His friends will support his decision. They nodded and Tai turns to face the boy once again.
"Alright then. Lets go."
"Great."
The boy walked over to the other side of the valley as his Patamon flied over to follow him. Tai and Agumon started to follow them over. Can he trust them? Well he obviously wants to know the guy's secret, so he had to take this chance. It's now or never.
"Hmmm. This better be a good explanation," Matt said.
"I just hope we can trust this guy," said Sora.
"Don't worry. I have a feeling that we will. After all, he killed Burizalor and that evil lady for us," replied TK.
The boy stops in the middle of the barren valley and turns to face Taichi.
"Hey thanks man."
"No way. I should be thanking you for taking care of Burizalor for me. I knew that he was coming this way to hurt more innocent lives and kill my friends. I thought for sure that he would eventually change his ways."
"No way, not him. He was out of control and you were supposed to stop him."
"I knew that I should have been here a lot sooner."
"Yeah and we could of kicked his sorry ass," Agumon said.
"Oh yeah. One question, how would you have gotten here if you were still in the guardian dimension? It takes an awfully long time to open a portal out of there."
"I would have if I used a new technique known as Time Warp. Agumon and I would have been out of there within seconds."
"You mean like time travel?"
"No. It's a technique that Baihumon taught me. It enables us to pin point a located destination and use a form of teleportation to get there in a matter of seconds. You can just imagine getting there within ten milliseconds of a second or something to that extent. I need to improve on my algebra."
"Wow. You can move that fast. I never knew you could do that."
"Yeah. Well I'm still learning now to use it. It's not very easy to obtain unless you worked with the guardians like I have. You should go see them sometime."
"I see. That's incredible. However, there's another question I need to ask you."
"What's that?"
"Are you able to fuse with Agumon?"
"Well when we did it the first time, it only happened spontaneously. But now we can control our power when we fuse."
"How would you like to demonstrate now?"
"Huh? Why for?"
"Please. I need to know if you can. That's all I ask."
Tai and Agumon looked over to each other and then over to the boy.
"Well?"
"Alright. If you really want to see, then Agumon and I are more than happy to demonstrate!"
The boy nodded as he felt a sudden surge of energy increasing from both Tai and Agumon. There was bright aura glowed all over Tai's body as well as Agumon's. Tai felt his and Agumon's heart beating. Their eyes started to glow an orange color as they became a beam of light. In a matter of seconds, the two beams of light started coming together.
"Agumon! Fusion Shinka!"
As the beam of light slowly vanished, a warrior stood and looked similar to War Greymon minus the claws, head helmet. His face was a little more human-like and his eyes were green as emerald.
"Omega X!"
The new Digi-Destined watched in with disbelief.
"Wow! That's Omega X?! He rocks already," Davis said as his eyes widened.
"Wow. Now that's a digimom," commented Yolei.
"Unbelievable!" Cody said.
"So I get to see Omega X. Now this was worth the wait," Ken said.
Omega X stood as he faced off the young man and his Patamon.
"So what now?"
"We both become fused warriors."
Omega X watched as the boy and Patamon started to glow. They came together as two beams of light. Then as the light faded away, there stood Angemon X. They both faced off.
"Whoa! No way!" Joe said.
"Hardcore!" cried out TK.
"Grr! Those two are able to fuse with their digimon. But Gabumon and I aren't able to? I got to have that power of fusion! I must have it,"Matt said to himself.
"We're both evenly matched in power," Omega X said.
"Indeed we are," replied Angemon X.
They powered and de-digvolved. Tai and Agumon returned to their normal states, as did the young boy and his Patamon. They are now officially the first two to ever reach the fusion level of digivolution with their respective digimon partners.
"So I take it that you spent this whole time achieving that ability. Its not that easy."
"Right. Once you get used to it. Now, its time that I reveal my secret."
"Yeah I've been dying to know who you are and how you know such much about me. I never have seen anybody that was a big fan of me."
"Ok, but you must promise not to tell anybody else of what I'm about to tell you."
"You have my word."
"So spill the beans," Agumon said.
"Right. My name is Dimitri. And as you know, my partner here is Patamon, much like Takeru. My crest is that of hope."
"Of hope? But I thought TK was the only one to inherit that."
"Yes. I'm getting to that part in just a second. Anyways, I am not from this time period. I coming from within seventeen years in the distant future."
"From the future? Twenty years distant?! Wow? Are there flying cars?"
"Yeah, well they're becoming pretty common. Ok anyways. I come from the distant future. And as you can that my crest is that of hope. So you must think…"
"That TK is you're…"
"Close but no cigar. He's not my father. However, rather, he's my uncle. And Yamato Ishida is my father."
"What Matt?! He's your father?!"
"Yes. He's my father."
"But he has the crest of friendship. How can you have the crest of hope if TK is just your uncle."
"It really doesn't matter. But I was chosen to be the holder of the crest of hope. I carry a very special part of that inherited power."
"Lets see here. Agumon, can you see any distinctions?"
"Not really…"
"Well?"
"Oh! Yeah I do! His eyes, hair and face kind of looks like Matt's! Yet he has TK's innocence."
"Yes. I should be born many years from now."
"Wow, really?! That's incredible! This totally rocks! I can't believe that Matt is going to be a daddy. Heh, wait till I tell him this. I'm going to be getting a good kick out of him fainting!"
"Tai. That's not the important thing that I was supposed to tell you."
"Huh? So what important did you want to tell me then?"
Tai had stopped laughing at the thought of Matt becoming future daddy. He turns to face Dimitri as he was about to listen to perhaps the most important news presented to him that may later the course of time.
"About a year from now, in the city of Kyoto, there will be three fierce monsters that will appear. They will plan a path of destruction. Nothing will stand in their way. Their powers are indescribable and indestructible. They're monsters, Tai. That's all I can say about them. They're monsters. They will leave a trail of death and chaos. But that's not all; their bodies contain a deadly virus known as the D-Virus. In order to completely wipe out entire populations, they will spread the virus anywhere they go. Millions have died from the virus itself but millions of others were slaughtered by the monsters themselves. Its a living nightmare."
"So, what are these guys? Evil dimensional beings? Digimon?"
"No. They're deadly artificial beings created by a digimon. Its name is Datamon. Do you remember him?"
"Yeah. We defeated him!"
Meanwhile, the other Digi-Destined have been waiting patiently as they watched their conversation continuing on.
"So what do you think they're saying," asked Mimi.
"I don't know for sure. But it has to be very important," Kari said.
"It's got to be. Otherwise, they wouldn't be talking to each other this long," replied Matt.
Leomon looked over to where Dimitri and Tai were talking. His ears twitched as if he were listening to the conversation himself.
"So its Datamon? That guy?"
"Right, but he's not the same as before."
"But I thought we went into digimon limbo?"
"He managed to escape at the very last minute, or so my mother told me. That was the last thing in the world that you should have done."
"Damn. He tried to clone Sora after he kidnapped her. I can't forgive him for what he's done. So is he hiding?"
"At this very moment, he is. He's planning his next attack and creating the monsters as we speak."
"So what's his deal? Why does he want to send these artificials?"
"He programmed them using what was left of Etemon's dark network and he programmed them to destroy digimon and humans alike. He plans to have his revenge especially on you guys. So he created three artificials to do his evil bidding. And he created the D-Virus himself. It was something originally intended to kill digimon but now its mutated and is deadly enough to even wipe out the entire human population as we speak."
"What a creep!"
"And in my time, I have been fighting these terrible monsters. I fought and put my life at stake just to protect the world! Even my digimon and I combined in our fused form isn't enough to end this nightmare. I was always lucky enough to avoid being infected."
"You alone?! But aren't the others there to help you battling these monsters?"
"No. They're dead. All of them are gone. Even the Digi-Destined, new and old, combined weren't enough to beat them. They eventually got killed by the monsters or got infected by the virus. And what I mean everybody, I mean everybody. Matt, Izzy, Joe, Sora, Davis, Yolei, Cody, Kari, Ken! They and many other Digi-Destined are going to lose their lives. And in the end, the only true survivors are TK and myself. We were the last to stop them. Unfortunately, twelve years later, they eventually get him too."
"Hey, Dimitri. What about me? Don't I die from the battle too?"
"Yeah it would be a bummer if we did," Agumon said.
"No. You two die before it. Not long before then, you somehow become the first victims of the D-Virus."
Tai stood there with a look of shock on his face. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He would become the first victim of Datamon's sick and twisted plan.
"I'm sorry for spreading you the news. But I had to tell you."
"Well that sucks. I die from a silly ol' bug. Man, I can't wait to challenge the powers of these artificials. Are you with me Agumon?"
"You bet!"
"What you mean after everything that I told you, you still want to fight them? Aren't you even scared at all?"
"Well, yeah. All challenges can be scary at first. But once you get the better of the situation, you can easily overcome it. We did against Burizalor and we can certainly rise to the occasion again."
"Well knowing a guy like you, I'm willing to bet that you can make a difference."
"I could?"
"That's right. My mother was right about you. And here's a little gift from me."
Dimitri held out his hand and held out a small bottle containing a red liquid. He placed it in Tai's hand.
"What is this?"
"Its the antidote to the actual D-Virus itself. There's no telling when Datamon starts to spread the deadly virus but here's the antidote just in case."
"Wow thanks. But hey, what about you?"
"I really must be going back to my time. My mother awaits me and my portal device is running out of fuel. I better use it to open the nearest portal before it goes to waste."
"Say. One more question, do we happen to know your mother," asked Agumon.
"As a matter of fact, you do."
"Great! So when are we going to meet her?"
"Pretty soon."
"So she lives somewhere close from me?"
"Shes standing right over there."
Dimitri points over to where Mimi was standing. Tai and Agumon turn around and they both fell over. They were laughing their heads off at what he had just said.
"Ah! Ha! Ha! Mimi is your mother?! I can't believe this?!"
The children looked over to what had just happened as their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Hey! Look at that! The boy just pointed at him and Tai fell down," Matt laughed.
"I could have sworn that I heard my name," replied Mimi.
Tai sat up and stopped laughing but he couldn't help but chuckle under his breathe.
"Wow! Matt and Mimi?! They eventually have you, huh? Oh, man. And you don't turn out like them. Whew that's a relief. Man. I thought Mimi would be going with that Michael guy from New York."
"Well. It's kind of a long story. Right after I was born, they separated and I lived with my mother."
"I don't blame you. They're perhaps one of the most feistiest people I have ever met."
"I'm glad to have met you Tai. Your understand everything that I had told you. I know that I can depend on you."
"Yeah. Well thanks for everything and warning us. Don't worry. We'll take it from here."
Dimitri nods to Tai and looks down to his Patamon.
"You ready to go home, buddy?"
"You bet."
"Well. I better head out now. Good luck to you, Tai. I just hope you and the others can help make a difference."
"You have my word."
Dimitri walks off into the valley as a beautiful sunset was taking place. Patamon went following after him. Tai holds the antidote and places it in his pocket.
"Geez. What a dramatic story. But looks like we have a job to do. We let the others know on the news."
"Yeah."
Tai and Agumon walked on over back towards the other children, who were desperately waiting for them. They had a lot of questions to ask concerning the conversation that he had with Dimitri. As soon as Tai walked to them, the children all gathered around him and began questioning him.
"So what did he tell you," asked TK.
"Yeah. I bet he told you a whole deal. Something important right," Sora asked.
"Ha. Well it was nothing really important."
"Yeah. So lets get going home. I'm hungry," Agumon said.
"Same here."
The Digi-Destined could only look on with disbelief and bewilderment.
"That's funny. Because it awfully sounded really important to me," said Leomon.
"What? You mean you heard," asked Tai.
"With ears like these, we can hear a pin drop from a mile away. So looks like you have to fess up and tell us."
"But I can't…"
"Alright then. If you won't, then I'll tell them."
"But you heard the conversation…"
"Don't worry. I won't tell anything that would endanger your friend. But we deserve the right to know, so we can change our destinies. All of ours."
**************************************************************************************
Leomon had explained everything to the children about the approaching aritificials that would arrive and destroy mankind. They were stunned at the news.
"And that's the whole deal. We're all supposed to die during the battle against the artificials. Only TK will survive in the battle against these monsters. And Tai here is supposed to catch the D-Virus."
"Ugh. So its Datamon," said Sora, "I can easily remember what he did to me."
"The nerve of him trying to clone you but now he uses his sick and twisted mind to create deadly artificials," Biyomon said.
"I say we get ready. Its time for each of the new Digi-Destined's digimon to reach their champion levels and then into their ultimate forms."
"But you think we're able to do it," asked Davis.
"We got no choice. We only got a year to prepare. If we want to get prepared for those artificals then we must evolve our digimon into their higher leveled forms," Ken replied.
"And we must be on the look out for the D-Virus. That's one concern we should be worried about," Kari said.
"Don't worry. Its a synch," Gatomon said.
"You make it easier than it sounds. But it won't be easy. This will be our hardest task to date. Are we up for it," Tai asked the group.
They all nodded in agreement.
"Listen up, Tai!" Matt said.
Tai turns to face Matt. The blonde haired boy smirked and pointed over to Gabumon.
"Since you and Agumon were able to fuse. I will see to it that Gabumon and I surpass you two. We plan on destroying those artificials ourselves once we fuse. And then once that's over, we shall fight to settle the score."
"Sure."
"Hey take a look at that!" Michael cried out as he pointed to a nearby canyon.
The children all looked up to see Dimitri and his Patamon looking down upon them. Dimitri activated his handheld portal device. He turns to see Tai.
"Thanks for understanding, Tai. I know you will make a difference."
Then he looked down upon Matt, his very own father.
"Goodbye father. Hopefully you get to fuse with Gabumon. I know in my heart that you will achieve that power."
He then looked down at Mimi.
"Goodbye mother. May Palmon watch over you."
Dimitri waved to them and activated a portal using the last of the device's power. He walked through the portal and his Patamon was there to follow them. Then the portal closed.
"Was he waving to me?" asked Mimi, "I could have sworn that he waved to me."
"Man that was just weird," Davis said.
"Mark my words. I will achieve the power of fusion. Gabumon and I will become the most powerful warrior the Digital World has ever seen."
"Goodbye, whoever you are," Mimi said as a smile came across her face.
"So, do you believe everything he says?" asked Kari.
"Yeah I do, Kari. You bet I do," Tai replied.
The Digi-Destined all gathered around to plan out their next move. They only have a year to get prepared for the approaching threat that would make its presence felt. Never had they ever faced such a threat as artificials. They battled evil digimon and inter dimensional beings, but never artificials.
Tai was remembering everything that Dimitri had told him. The other children turned to face him as if they were about to ask him a question.
"So are we going to prepare for this threat, Tai?" asked TK.
"Its only a year away," replied Kari.
"Well, I know for sure that there is always a way," Tai said, "We will be prepared for these artificials. And we now know that we must not look for them in the Digital World since they will arrive in our own world."
"Well there's just one thing that troubles me," Matt said, "What have you actually been doing. Since us older kids only got to see you a few times during these brief three and a half years. Tell us about this dimension that you and Agumon were training at. And tell us how you escaped the dark realm."
"Oh yeah. We thought you had died until Azulongmon told us. You never really told us how you escaped," said Izzy.
"Well let's see. How do I start that crazy story again? Hmmm. Oh yeah! Now I remember! It all started right after I beat Burizalor. I thought for sure that I was trapped for the remaining few minutes that were left. You couldn't imagine how hot it was in that situation."
"We really thought that we were done for," Agumon replied.
"Enough! Get to the point," Matt said impatiently.
"So what did happen," asked Gabumon.
"Hang on we're getting to that part," Agumon said.
"Now the dimension was about to implode and we were in a tight situation. So…"
Flashback
…we had to find a way out and there we had luck came our way. We managed to find Burizalor's large ship so we could use it to hightail it out of there."
Omega X flew across the landscape and looked down for any sources of transportation. This way he can escape a lot faster than just flying. Now the skies were becoming increasingly hot since there was no ozone layer to block out any radioactive light.
"There! I can see Burizalor's base and his ship looks pretty beaten up. But I have to give it a try."
Omega X goes flying down towards the ship and notices that there is a large hole at the very top of it. He flew down and went through the hole. As he made it inside, he flew right through a long hallway and there weren't any signs of life within the ship since all of the soldiers were killed earlier.
Omega X found a door leading into the control room. He walked in and found a control panel with several buttons.
"Alright! This is it! Now where is the on button to this thing? Ok, you use a TV remote just about everyday. This shouldn't be any different."
Omega X picks looks down ad sees a button and at the side it read Activation for Lift Off.
"There! Now time to get out of this hellhole!
Omega X felt the ship starting to rise up and he sighed with relief. He was going back home and there was nothing that will stop him now.
"Digital World! Here we come!"
Suddenly, the ground started to shake and the ship was starting to collapse. Omega X felt the ship losing its power and the lava underground was starting to spew out.
"Oh no! What the hell is going on?! The ship is down! Now what?! No dammit! This can't be happening! No!"
Omega X felt the ship starting to tip over. He looked out through a nearby window shield and watched as the ship was falling down into the pool of lava. Omega X had to do something and fast. Well, there was nothing else to do. Omega X flies up and breaks through the roof of the ship in order to escape out. Omega X looked down and watched as the ship fell into the magma bed below.
"Damn! That was my only way out of there!"
Omega X started to fly around in attempt to find his way out. He could not give up. He had to return home to see his friends and family.
"And that was our only escape. We had no chance to make our getaway. We were trapped. It was really scary if you want me to be more specific. Not a way to end our summer vacation."
Omega X looked around his surroundings and watched as everything started to fade into a white and blank color. He let out a loud cry and he witnessed a large explosion take place. And as the explosion took place, the whole dimension imploded into nothing more than empty space. Everything that made up the whole dark dimension was already gone. There was no longer any signs of life. Not even any traces of Omega X any where.
End of Flashback
"Well that was the first part of our long story. Now, how we made it out of there amazed me just as much."
"We could remember seeing a beam of light coming our way," Agumon said, "A light hit us both and it sucked us right into an inter dimensional portal."
Flashback
Just seconds before the whole dark realm was about to implode, Omega X turned to see a beam of light hitting it. But instead of hurting him, it restored his powers and healed his body. Then right in front of Omega X was a large portal. A voice was heard from it. It belonged to Azulongmon.
"Omega X come quick in here! It's the only way to escape! Here I shall provide you with the necessary items to improve your fusion powers. Either that or die here. Your choice."
"Not like we have a choice…"
Omega X phased out and flew right through the portal and it was barely just a second before the dark realm would implode. Omega X found himself spinning into a dark hole and being sucked right into it.
"The place that we arrived at was really weird. I soon realized that Agumon and I were back to our old selves, since that fusion takes a whole a lot of energy out of ya. So, we decided to explore around. It was a pretty quiet and lonely place. I really hoped to go home and see my family. I'm sure they were really worried about me. But I knew that I had to do this. I wanted to find a way for Agumon and I to remain in our fusion state without wasting large amounts of energy at the same time. It wasn't going to be easy, but who said it would ever be. And then, we met Azulongmon."
"So you must be the Digi-Destined of Courage? Taichi Kamiya?"
"Yes. And who are you? Your awfully big to be a digimon."
"Well I am. I am Azulongmon. I am one of the four guardians that protects the Digital World."
"Wait. I heard about you from Gennai. You and three other guardians were sealed away by the Dark Masters. I even heard you telepathically."
"Yes and thanks to you and the other children, you were able to defeat them and end Burizalor's reign of terror. We never said thank you and we hope that you decide to remain here. We can help you and Agumon through some long term training to perfect the fusion process."
"You could train us?"
"At first. But then, you will have committed yourselves. In the end, you will become an unstoppable force. You managed to destroy Burizalor for us and that we thank you."
"So, when do we begin?"
"Now would be the perfect time."
"Now. But I'm willing to bet that my family and friends are starting to worry about me."
"Don't worry. You are at good hands. I have arranged a way for you to see them through specific times."
"You mean I can still see them?"
"Yes and I shall tell the Digi-Destined about you still being alive and that you chose to remain here. And yes, you are still able to see your friend but you must remain here in training for the next three and a half years."
"You got yourself a deal."
"Deal is done."
"And so, we began our training as you have noticed, Agumon and I are able to fuse without wasting too much energy. We have returned thanks to Azulongmon. And boy, it sure feels great to be back."
End of Flashback
"So what do you guys think?"
"Wow. So you two must be indestructible," Davis said.
"No Davis. We just gotten stronger and we move a lot quicker using a new technique that another one of the guardians taught us. Its called Time Warp."
"Time Warp. What's that do," asked Ken.
"Its pretty simple. You can teleport anywhere that you put your mind to. We had difficulty trying to use it but we perfected it. Shall we demonstrate?"
The children all nodded.
"Ok. Here goes nothing. First, I'll think of a place that I have in mind."
Tai placed his fingers on his forehead.
"Ahem, Agumon. You too. I'm not doing this to look like an idiot."
"Right."
Agumon did the same thing as Tai was doing. Then the children saw their bodies slowly disappearing. Then they vanished.
"Whoa! How cool!" Sora said.
"Where did they go," asked Michael.
Suddenly, Tai and Agumon reappeared once again. Tai held a stick in his hand that looked awfully like Piximon's.
"Whoa! You're back! So where did you go?" asked Kari.
"We went over to Piximon's place and stole his stick. Heh. Heh."
"What?! Piximon's place is just on the other side of the Digital World," Joe said, "That's impossible!"
"Oh. Big deal, its just super speed," Matt replied smugly.
"Yo, Joe. You think you can hold onto this for me."
Tai tossed Piximon's stick over to Joe. Joe jumped up and snared it.
"Thanks. So, are we guys ready to go," Tai asked, "I'm getting pretty hungry and I really want to see my parents again."
They all nodded in agreement.
"Alright then. We should all be going home now…"
"Wait a second. Do you know how we should be prepared for an approaching threat? You know, like artificials."
"Oh. It looks as though it almost slipped my mind."
"So how do we prepare?" asked Yolei.
"Hmmm. We meet here in the Digital World daily and help train our digimon to reach to new levels. New kids, that means more hard work for you. Your digimon has to be able to reach their champion and ultimate forms. Because if I'm right, no matter what level they reach, they will still be strong no matter what. So is that agreed?"
"Ok!"
"Alright now. Lets get the date straight. When are the artificials going to appear? Lets see… Ugh… I forgot…"
The Digi-Destined's mouths dropped and they fell backwards. They couldn't believe that Tai had forgotten such an important date that could be the fate of the world. However, Leomon was able to speak for him.
"On December 17, in the city of Kyoto at 10:00 in the morning, the three artificials will appear in attempt to destroy mankind with the D-Virus."
"Alright. Alright. I got it. It just slipped my mind. So will you guys be ready for December 17, in the year of 2004?"
"Yeah!"
"Alright then. Be there if you're ready, but if you don't think you can handle it, don't even show up at all. But I know very well that everyone of you will be ready by then."
The Digi-Destined all nodded in agreement. Then Matt spoke up.
"Tai. Just because we're fighting these artificials together that doesn't mean that I want to challenge you. Once Gabumon and I fuse, then we will see who the better warrior is."
"Sure."
Matt and Gabumon walked off from the group in order to plan out a way to begin their training to reach the fusion level. In Matt's frame of mind, if Tai could perform such a technique with Agumon then so can he and Gabumon.
"So are you ready to go see mom and dad," asked Tai.
"Yeah. They're going to be really thrilled to see you again. Mom is going to flip to see how much you've grown!"
"Well. You know mom. Ha."
"Kari?"
"Yeah, TK?"
"Would you like to be my training partner with our digimon?"
"Sure. You should have just asked earlier."
"Hey, TF. I called it first."
"Sorry, Davis. You're out of luck. Don't worry. You'll get the feel of training with Veemon."
"Yeah Davis. You still got me. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
"Well, you sure haven't let me down, Veemon."
"Well I think I better be going myself," Ken said as he picked up Wormmon.
"Ken! Wait!"
Ken turned to see Yolei running up to him. She stopped him just in time.
"What is it, Yolei?"
"Well I couldn't let you go after I ask you this. How would you like to partner up with me to train our digimon?"
"Yolei. I'm asked me that. I would be honored."
"Hey let me join with you guys," Davis cried out.
"Sure Davis. You could come along too," Ken said.
"Thanks. You guys are great."
"Besides. Since my digimon was the first to become champion, I could maybe teach you guys to evolve Hawkmon and Veemon into their champion forms," Wormmon said.
"Sounds great!" Yolei nodded in agreement.
"So we're all set then," Tai said.
"So what are we waiting for? Lets get going," Kari said as she held her D-3.
"Digi-Port Open!"
As soon as they said that, they found a television and were quickly transported from the Digital World and they soon found themselves back in the computer lab.
"Well. I think I'll get used to coming back home," Tai said.
"Well. Just be glad that you haven't been gone for almost a decade," TK said.
"That's for sure. I really miss mom's cooking," Tai said.
"But I thought you hated mom's cooking," asked Kari.
"Well some recipes I consider poison," Tai laughed.
The others laughed with Tai about his comment about his mother's recipes. However, they still had the prophecy that the young boy had left. They only had a year of training for their digimon. Their digimon had to reach new levels of power. Their current power possibly and more likely isn't enough to oppose this new threat. It was all or nothing.
***************************************************************************************
As weeks went by, the Digi-Destined took time out of their busy schedules to prepare as they began to train their digimon tremendously. This would be the hardest training they would ever have to their digimon performed. The digimon had to get stronger no matter what.
Tai and Sora trained Agumon and Biyomon together. Biyomon had been showing improvements as she was able to perform several fire techniques while in her ultimate form and she was able to conserve most of her power and at the same time, not wasting evolution energy.
"Biyomon has improved a lot," Sora said, "This training is really helping her."
"Plus I didn't really think that Agumon would have made a great training partner for Biyomon."
"I know. Hey you know where Matt is?"
"He's probably off training somewhere with Gabumon by himself. He is so obsessed in beating me by fusing with Gabumon. But, I'm really looking forward when that day comes. I'll more than happy to spar with him."
"Oh. You two. You're never going to learn."
They both laughed and they would laugh, knowing the fact that they only have a year to get their acts together to prepared for the upcoming threat that could plague Earth.
**************************************************************************************
Ken and Yolei watched as Hawkmon and Wormmon were attacking each other during a training procedure.
"They're getting better," Yolei said.
"I agree. It's only a matter of time before Hawkmon reaches his champion leveled form. Hawkmon has been doing quite well against Stingmon while in his rookie form and armored forms."
"And Davis?"
"He's catching up. I believe that Veemon's time to evolve into his champion form is drawing near."
"C'mon, Veemon! I know you can do it! Once you evolve into your champion leveled form, then we will evolve you into your ultimate form and it will only be a matter of time before we fuse to become the ultimate fighting machine!"
"Yeah! My time has come and we're going to kick some artificial tail!"
"You can do it!"
Veemon continues on his training as he felt his power increasing slowly after each session. It would only be a matter of time as Ken had predicted.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, TK and Kari watched as Angemon and Angewomon were sparring with each other by raising their power levels after each session. It was hard for them but they felt their powers increasing. Soon, they would reach new levels of power and perhaps find a way to evolve into their mega forms and fuse with their respective partners.
"That's it, Angemon! That's the way! Soon, we will fuse! I just know we will!"
"Angewomon, I can feel your power. You're doing well! Keep it up!"
The two angels continued on as their training sessions got even tougher. Soon, they would eventually find the ways to reach higher levels of energy while in their ultimate forms and help preserve during energy during battles.
***************************************************************************************
Matt and Metal Garurumon were elsewhere within the Digital World. Matt looked up to see Metal Garurumon shooting out homing missiles aimed for him and watched as his digimon maneuvered away from each missile.
"Mark my words, we shall become one Metal Garurumon. We will fuse and we will become the ultimate force both worlds have seen! Omega X has seen nothing yet. Just you wait and see, Tai."
As the training begins for the Digi-Destined, will a year even be enough for the digimon to reach their fully evolved forms and how much powerful can they get? Will the new kid's digimon be able to reach newer and higher levels of power?

Veemon, Armadillomon, Hawkmon! Go to Your Champion Forms!
The Digital World was enduring another process of healing itself ever since the Digimon Kaiser planted the dark towers. But now it was slowly but surely recovering from many devastating losses. The digimon were the many reasons for the reassembling of the Digital World since they were rebuilding their lost homes. The Digi-Destined were also the many reasons for the Digital World's speedy recovery. They would take time from their busy schedules in order to help rebuild devastated places, but they also took time from their busy schedules to train their digimon into becoming stronger warriors.
In fact, it is now known that the new kids were slowly improving. However, there is one that is determined to see his digimon reach the champion leveled form. And that was Daisuke "Davis" Motomiya. He was obsessed to see Veemon evolve and fight without the use of the digimentals. Sure he was strong whether he was Flamedramon or Lighdramon. But neither one is capable on taking on such fighting monsters such as the soon approaching artificials.
As a matter of fact, it was Flamedramon that was beaten badly in a brief fight against Cyborg Burizalor. Davis was very disappointed to see his digimon get brushed aside as if he were a waste. However, Davis should have known better than to pick a fight with an evil tyrant in the first meeting. Now he has learned and will see to it that Veemon becomes his champion leveled form. It wouldn't be easy. But then again, who said it would be.
It was a bright and sunny day in the Digital World. The Digi-Destined were hard at work rebuilding devastated locations nearby a large lake.
However, Davis decided to take a break from all the hard work to go walk into the forest. But his main agenda was to force Veemon into training again. He wouldn't let Veemon know until the time was right.
"Hey Davis? Why are we walking in the forest? I know that we're taking a break and all but don't you think we should be close by so that the others will know where we are at?"
"Nah. As long as we can track each other's locations through our D-3's, they won't have to go looking for us."
"Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that."
"Sometimes you are too forgettable."
"Look who's talking?"
Davis stopped and looked at something that was straight ahead. Veemon stopped to turn to face his partner.
"Hey, Davis, what are you looking at?"
"Veemon. Do you see what I see?"
"No, what?"
"That over there."
"Where. I don't see anything."
"Straight up ahead, you goof."
Veemon looked up ahead and his eyes widened with delight at what he saw. Right in front of them was a restaurant in the middle of nowhere near a large lake.
"Ahhh! A restaurant! And when there's a restaurant! Theres bound to be food!"
"Right, Veemon. And the more food you consume, the chances of you evolving into your champion leveled form will be possible. But we have to train you a little more before you break down that food."
"Well what are we waiting for? Lets get some grub! But, shouldn't we wait for the others."
"Nah. I'm buying for all of us. They'll find us eventually."
"Well, alright. Last on there is a rotten digi-egg!"
Veemon ran up ahead of Davis and started towards the entrance doors. Davis went running after Veemon but was unable to catch up to him. Davis walked inside panting and out of breath. Veemon stands at the waiting lines but there was nobody standing in line.
"I need to run a little more."
"Well, at least we made it before the crowds came."
"Well, what kind of crowd would want to come here in the middle of nowhere?"
"Beats me."
Suddenly, the waiter came walking out through the kitchen. The waiter was none other than Digitamamon. He turned to face Veemon and Davis.
[Digitamamon. Ultimate-Level. Data Type. Special Techniques: Nightmare Syndrome & Engima]
"Yay! You're the first customers of the day! What section would you like to take, the digivolve or non-digivolve section?"
"Whatever suites fine for us," Davis said.
"We'll take the non-digivolve section!"
"Right this way."
Digitamamon led the two down the non-dgivolve section and towards a two seat table.
"You know, it's been a while since there were any customers here. Ever since attacks by Burizalor and the Digimon Kaiser, all of my customers evacuated the area. It was very depressing."
Veemon and Davis sat at the table and looked through the menus.
"Well you don't have to worry. We took care of Burizalor. Well actually one person single handedly took him apart."
"What?! But there's no way a single force could totally destroy Burizalor. Who was this person?"
"We don't know for sure, but we heard our friend Tai say that he was from the future and he could perform the fusion technique with his digimon."
"What the fusion technique? But I thought they were only rumors and legends?!"
"No its true," Veemon said, "Now there are two fusion warriors. And we're getting prepared for yet another evil force that will appear on earth. So you shouldn't worry about losing customers since the next attack is upon my friend's here world, earth."
"Well that's a relief but a bad thing for your friend."
"We got it. It's a piece of cake. I've been training Veemon to reach his champion leveled form."
"Well you better train hard if what you say about this new threat being very powerful is true. You will need to reach even a higher level power of evolution."
"Like the ultimate level?"
"Yes, but even higher. Maybe at the mega level?"
"Yeah but that's going to take a long time," Veemon whined.
"Don't worry about it buddy. I'll see to it that you devolve into your champion form."
"So what would you two like to have?"
"Hmmm. I want your Digital back ribs," Veemon said, "And a couple of those rice balls at the side."
"And you sir?"
"Ummm. The samething he's having but with a bowl of spicy digimon pinto beans. Lets see you beat that."
"Add another addition to my order. I want three bowls of the super spicy digimon pinto beans."
"And anything to drink?"
"A nice shot of beer," remarked Veemon.
"I'll have two shots of beer!"
"Aren't you two a little young to have alcoholic beverages? Can I see your IDs?"
"Oh we were just kidding about the beer," Davis said.
"I wasn't," replied Veemon.
"Well, kidding or not. You two are not allowed to drink beer. However, you two could have shots of root beer with whisky drops added to it."
"Yuck! Whisky?! I'll just have root beer," Veemon said.
"I'll have the same thing he's having then."
"Alright. You two's orders should come within twenty minutes."
Digitamamon walks off back to the kitchen to instruct his workers to start cooking for the first two customers.
"Well its truly an honor for being the first two customers since the invasion of Burizalor," Veemon said.
"I can't believe you wanted a shot of beer. I wanted to have some. Man even the Digital World has their restrictions in restaurants."
"Look on the bright side, at least you're having one type of 'beer'"
"Ha. Ha. That's root beer. Oh well. You're right. A drink is a drink."
Davis looked out the window and sighed.
"Davis, what's the matter?"
"I was just thinking about Kari. You know. She thinks I'm just a total jerk. She's all chummy when TK is around but she brushes me off as if I never existed."
"That's silly, Davis. Why do you think like that?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that Patamon can digivolve into his champion level form. But you can't. It's very frustrating to see TK all over Kari. I mean, who cares if he knew her before I did. Before we came into the picture, it was always Kari and I hanging out. But now TP has come into the picture and it really annoys me. There's something that I got to do and the only way for Kari to start talking to me is for you to reach your champion level form."
"But there has to be another reason for me to digivolve than to impress Kari, right?"
"Well of course. I want to be ready as soon as possible in order to fight those artificials. If that guy from the future says about them being strong, then we better train you as fast and hard as possible. I mean, let's face it. When you fought Cyborg Burizalor in your Flamedramon form, you were brushed aside as if you were an unworthy opponent. But now all of that is going to change! Its time to rise to the occasion and to see you reach your champion leveled form! Do you hear me, Veemon? You will reach your champion leveled form! No ifs or its about it. No excuses. So are you up for it buddy?"
"You bet! But first I need to have a little fuel added into my system first."
"Your right and after that, we'll rest and then you'll start your training. Its simple as that."
"And to watch my calories."
"Right. You see. You even take care of your body. And that's a good thing."
"But I wonder what my champion leveled form will look like?"
"Beats me. Maybe you'll evolve into some sort of Angemon."
"That would be so cool!"
"Yeah I can just picture it now."
Davis easily pictures Veemon as a tall and handsome looking angel with shiny blue and black armor with a large blade in one hand and pairs of wings on his back. Veemon can picture himself as a large knight with a sword and a shield.
"I can't wait to see your champion leveled form, Veemon! This will be the greatest thing to ever happen."
"Ditto here! Then, Gatomon will like me for sure."
"Oh. So you out to impress somebody like I am?"
"Well… So that she can realize that I'm pretty handsome warrior myself."
"Yeah. I can picture you in your champion form with Angewomon now."
"That would be sweet. Aww. Angewomon and her beautiful, blonde hair and nice figure."
"Ok, quit daydreaming. If you want Gatomon to like you, then you have to reach your champion level and fight like you've never fought before. Fight to impress her."
"That's my whole agenda, Davis. Just you wait and see. I won't disappoint you! Cause I'm Veemon and nobody can stop me! I'm the king!"
Veemon stood on top of the table with his two arms rising up triumphantly. Davis looked up and sighed. Veemon looked down to see Digitamamon frowning.
"Hey! Off the table! You know I pay good many to order those tables!"
"Sorry."
"Your orders are ready. And since you two got the same thing, well one ordered the super spicy pinto beans in three bowls."
"That would be me," Veemon said.
"Alright hold your horses."
Digitamamon served the two hungry customers as two of their mouths dropped with slobber and delight glazed in their eyes.
"Enjoy. And I should be back with your bill."
Digitamamon walks off as Veemon and Davis began to dig in. The two were determined to see who would survive eating the spicy pinto beans. Both are very addictive to anything spicy so it was all or nothing between these two.
"I'm determined in out eating you with these rice balls."
"You're on, Davis!"
The two began chomping away at the bowl of rice balls that laid right in front of them. Veemon grabbed a handful and stuffed several of them down his mouth. Davis did the same with his and wasn't about to give up just yet. Digitamamon turned to see his two customers making total pigs out of themselves.
"There they go! Goddramon, I've never seen a bunch of pigs in my life. Thought things like these do get kind of interesting. I better get the barf bag before one of those two start to choke."
Davis and Veemon stuffed more rice balls down their mouths and faced each other with determined looks. They looked down to see one last rice ball lying right in front of them.
"No you don't Veemon! This is one is mine!"
"I don't think so. I'm not going down that easily!"
"Ready… Set… GO!"
The two went to grab the last rice ball at the same time. But as soon as both of their hands were about to touch the rice ball, their hands went knocking each other away as if somebody had butted in. Veemon and Davis turned to see a small ball-like figure snatch the last rice ball away from them.
"Ahhh! I almost had it!"
"Looks like we both lose…"
"Hey Davis! I found the culprit!"
He pointed to a small ball-shaped little creature eating the rice ball. Davis growled with anger.
"That was supposed to be my rice ball!"
"Davis. I wouldn't want to make this little guy angry. His name is Thunderballmon. Even at a small size, his body packs a whole lot of voltage of electricity."
[Thunderballmon. Champion Level. Data type. Special Techniques: Thunderbolt & Thunder Bomb]
"I don't care. He took my rice ball and he's going to pay!"
Davis walks up to Thunderballmon and shadows over him. Thunderballmon looks up and frowns.
"Yo! What's the big deal taking my rice ball!"
Davis waited for an answer but Thunderballmon just stared him down.
"Well if you're not going to answer me, I'll just have Veemon here kick your butt! Now buy me another rice ball bowl special!"
But the little guy did not answer, which infuriated Davis even more.
"OK this guy is seriously pissing me off. Veemon, if you will."
"Yo! You better answer Davis or else I'm going to kick your butt."
Thunderballmon looked down at Veemon and smiled. Veemon was confused to why Thunderballmon would be smiling at such a situation such as this.
"Ummm, Davis. Why is he smiling?"
"I don't know but he's freaking me out. Hey buddy? Aren't you going to answer me or look like a dumb idiot?"
Thunderballmon didn't take the remark too kindly as he pointed to Veemon and shot out a lighting bolt at him. Veemon goes flying back. Davis turned to face Thunderballmon with an angry look.
"Cheap shot! Why don't you try and shoot me?!"
Davis goes running at Thunderballmon. But the little guy pointed his finger towards him. Veemon looks up to see Davis running at Thunderballmon.
"No… Davis… He's powering up… Move away from there as soon as possible!"
As soon as he said that, Thunderballmon shot out an electric beam and sends it right of Davis. However, Veemon phased right in front of the beam and gets hit as his entire body started to electrocute. Veemon screamed in tremendous pain as he fell to the ground.
"Davis! Don't quit now! You must get up and fight him!"
"What's the problem in here?! No fights allowed," Digitamamon cried out.
Thunderballmon turns to face Digitamamon and a smile comes over his face.
"You want to fight in my restaurant?! I suggest you take this outside!"
Thunderballmon points a finger at Digitamamon and shoots out an electric beam. Digitamamon maneuvers to the side and lets out one of his attacks, the Nightmare Syndrome. Thunderballmon watched as his attack was cancelled out.
"You want to shoot out those fancy attacks in my restaurant?! You got another thing coming! Lets take this outside!"
"Digitamamon! You may need out help," Veemon said.
"No. I can handle this. I'll come back with your bill. I know how to deal with these kind of troublemakers."
"But! Wait," Davis said, "Ok Veemon! We lend a hand if anything goes out of control."
"Right!"
Digitamamon and Thunderballmon both went outside to settle the dispute. Both of them faced each other off as they read each other's power levels.
"Heh. Judging from your power, I should be able to take you down," Digitamamon said, "So are you ready for a good butt whooping?"
Thunderballmon simply just smiled and flew right at Digitamamon. Digitamamon got prepared and charged right at Thunderballmon. But within an instant, Thunderballmon quickly phased right behind Digitamamon and shot out an electrical ball of energy. This sent Digitamamon flying back. Thunderballmon flies right at Digitamamon and punches him repeatedly.
"Things aren't fairing too well for him! We really got to help him!"
"Your right! But if only I could digivolve!"
"Then its time to digivolve! You've had enough food, so you should be able to."
"I'm trying!"
"Damn! Ok I'll just have to distract him while I give you more time to digivolve."
Davis ran onto the battlegrounds and picked up a stick. He turned to face Thunderballmon.
"Hey puny! Over here!"
Davis tossed the stick right at Thunderballmon and stuck his tongue out. Thunderballmon faced him and had an angry look on his face.
"Nah! Nah!"
Thunderballmon phases out and reappears above Davis. Davis could only look up with his eyes widened. Thunderballmon brought back his fist and went to nail Davis right in the face. Suddenly, everything went into slow motion as Veemon watched Thunderballmon about to attack his human partner.
"Veemon!"
"Davis!"
"Digivolve! Now!"
Suddenly, Davis' D-3 started to react as a beam of light hit Veemon. Veemon felt as his power was quickly increasing. The light was making him stronger and he was ready to evolve. Was this the energy that he needed to evolve?
Veemon watched as his body started to transform. He grew bigger as large pairs of wings appeared on his back. A large horn appeared on the tip of his nose. His claws and teeth got larger as well.
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
Just as Thunderballmon was about to nail Davis, a blue fist wrenched back and nailed Thunderballmon, which sent the small bomber flying back. Davis peeked up and saw a rather large blue dragon.
"Veemon… You evolved?!"
[Xveemon. Veemon's Champion Level. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: V-Laser & V-Kick]
"You bet Davis! I feel like a new 'mon! My name is Xveemon! Champion level! My attacks include V-Laser! And I look so darn good in my new form!"
"You bet! And you're stronger! Al right, now lets finish this little bugger off! Xveemon!"
Xveemon looked around his surroundings and sensed Thunderballmon hiding.
"Alright, you little bugger. I can feel your energy, no use in hiding. Come on out and fight!"
Xveemon turned to face Thunderballmon flying right at him. Xveemon maneuvered away from Thunderballmon's rapid punches.
"Ok, are we done playing around? Because you're not taking this fight any seriously. So allow me to end this."
Xveemon wrenched back and nails Thunderballmon right in the face, sending the little bomber flying back into a nearby tree. Thunderballmon goes flying through several trees. Xveemon goes flying to where Thunderballmon landed and began sensing his hidden power.
"Ok! There's no use in hiding! I can sense your power!"
Just as he said that, Thunderballmon jumps out of nowhere and nails Xveemon right in the chest with his electric fist. However, Xveemon had phased out just as Thunderballmon nailed him. So he only hit air and turned to see Xveemon punch him right in the face.
Digitamamon got up and looked to see Xveemon battling Thunderballmon. He was surprised to see the little guy known as Veemon quickly evolve.
"He's taking him on without putting any effort. I can barely sense his power at this fast paced speed. It's out of this world. But that doesn't mean he's skipping on the bill."
Xveemon wrenched back and nails Thunderballmon with another fist to the face.
"Alright, Xveemon! Time to finish him off!"
Xveemon crossed his arms and a beam of light was glowing on his chest. The letter 'V' that was on his chest was glowing and it began releasing a ray of energy. Xveemon uncrossed his arms and shot out a beam of its energy and sends it right at into the palm of his hand. Xveemon held his hands back and thrusts his hands forward releasing the ray of energy.
"V Laser!"
Xveemon sends the energy right at Thunderballmon. It engulfed the little bomber as he let out a horrifying cry as his body started to shatter into small fragments of data. Xveemon stood triumphant as fragments of data floated right past him.
"Alright! You kicked ass, Xveemon," Davis cried out, "You finally reached your champion form and you start off with a deserved victory!"
"Thanks Davis! So how do I look?"
"Radical!"
"Davis," cried out several voices in the background.
Davis turned to see the other Digi-Destined running up to him.
"Hey guys! Over here!"
"Davis?! Who is that with you," asked Cody.
"Guys. I would like you to meet, Xveemon. He is the evolved champion form of Veemon. He finally reached his champion leveled form!"
"Wow! Incredible," TK said.
"How cool! Its about time," Gatomon said.
"So you like me any better, Gatomon?"
"Well I'll have to think about that."
"Awww… C'mon you can be honest."
"Hey you two!"
Xveemon and Davis turned to see Digitamamon running up to them.
"Hey look, TK. Its Digitamamon," Kari said.
"Hey! I remember him back when we were battling Myotismon. He put Matt and Joe to work for days without giving them any payments."
"Yes. But now I'm a completely different egg now. But you two owe me some money for lunch that I served you. The cost is twenty dollars."
Davis looked at his pocket and realized that he brought yen instead of American money that he left at home.
"What's the problem, don't you guys got any money?"
"Well we do but they're not dollars. But yen," Davis said.
"Only American dollars! So you don't have any money! You two will be working in the kitchen!"
Xveemon picks up Davis and flies off which causes Digitamamon to go chasing them angrily.
"You two can't eat without paying the bill! When I get my claws on you, I will…"
"Boy those two will never learn," Yolei said.
"Just when Davis thought he had everything under control without us, he ends up getting the wrong end of the stick," Ken said.
The children all laughed while Davis and Xveemon were getting away from Digitamamon before he could catch them and put them to work in the kitchen.
"You two aren't allowed to come back unless you pay for your bill! Now fork over the money or else!"
"Xveemon! Do something!"
"I can't cause he's right on my tail!"
"Doh!"
Davis has finally managed to get Veemon to evolve into his champion form and get them in trouble once again.
***************************************************************************************
It was a bright and sunny day in the Digital World. Nothing unusual has been taking place. However, there was much needed work to be done to help restore parts of the Digital World. There were several dark towers being spotted within a area near a large dam.
The Digi-Destined had arrived in the area just in time before the towers would have collapsed and fell onto the dam.
"There they are," Davis said as he pointed out to the dams.
"If they fall, they will break open and destroy the dam," Yolei said.
"But that's not all," replied Kari, "If the dam is destroyed, then water will come crashing down and flood that city of Yukibotamon. We have to destroy the towers before its too late."
"Man. Where is Ken when you need him?" asked TK.
"He wasn't able to make it because he and his family are at some formal service," Davis said, "Or so he said. But he will try to make it here in time. But that's enough talk. I say we know these damn towers down."
"Right!"
"You start the lead, Lighdramon!"
"Gotcha!"
"You follow him too, Digmon!"
"I'm on it!"
"Shurimon!"
"At your service."
"Lets go, Nefertimon!"
"Pegasusmon! Direct us to the towers."
"Hang on tight!"
Nefertimon and Pegasusmon flew right on over towards the towers. Lighdramon, Digmon and Shurimon went on over down towards the towers that were beginning to collapse.
"We don't have much time. We have to take these damns out before they collapse," Lighdramon said.
"I'll get right to the point! Gold Rush," Digmon cried out as he shot out several of his patented drills at the dark towers. Several of them were shattered as a result.
"My turn! Double Star!"
Shurimon shot out two stars and watched they sliced right through several towers. Several of those towers began to tumble and shatter into fragments.
Lighdramon turned to see one tower about to collapse.
"I don't think so! Thunder Clash!"
Lighdramon released a bolt of electric energy and disintegrated the tower into tiny pieces.
"Alright! We're making progress," Davis said, "Now lets finish the job!"
"You hear that, Nefertimon?!"
"Yes! Rosetta Stone!"
Nefertimon shot out several of her stones and sent them flying right at several towers as they were knocked down like a pair of dominoes but they shattered into pieces as they fell.
"Pegasusmon! You're turn!"
"Equiis Beam!"
Pegasusmon shoots out an energy beam and sends it right towards the remaining dark towers that were left standing.
"Alright! We cleaned up this mess," Davis said, "Looks like our job here is finished."
"Now we can get back home! I'm starving," Lighdramon remarked.
Suddenly, they felt foot stomping coming their way. The digimon felt a rather strong energy level heading their way. It was dark and they got prepared for anything.
"What is it, Digmon?" Cody asked.
"I can sense something heading this way and it sure doesn't feel like a welcome committee."
"What do you think it is?" asked Yolei.
"Who knows but I'm sure not going to stick around and say hello. I'm ready for action," Shurimon said as he pulled out his stars.
"You all get back," Pegasusmon said, "We'll take on whoever is heading this way."
"Becareful," TK said.
The Digi-Destined hid behind some bushes but managed to peek through to see what will transpire. The digimon got ready as they powered up.
"It's coming!" Lighdramon cried out.
Suddenly, a rather large and bulky monster comes running out of the forest and mows down the armored digimon as if they were bowling pins. The digimon went all flying back from the tremendous force of this rather large monster. He was rocky and bulky.
"Who is that?" asked Davis.
[Golemon. Champion-Level. Virus Type. Special Techniques: Rock Ball]
"Oh no! That's Golemon! We better not take this guy lightly! His is a champion-leveled rock type digimon! His special attacks are Rock Punch and Rock Ball! And believe me, he's a hard head," Lighdramon said.
"Rock Ball!"
Golemon tosses a rather large boulder towards the armored digimon. However, they were all able to maneuver away from the rolling boulder.
"That's was too close for comfort," Shurimon said.
But as soon as he said that, Golemon phased right behind them and nails them all with his heavy fists. They all went flying back and they each hit the ground hard. Nefertimon and Pegasusmon flew above Golemon and shot out their most effective attacks.
"Their attacks are not effective against Golemon's rocky armor," Kari said.
"We got to think of a better plan!"
Golemon flies up and nails the two flying digimon with his clubbed fists. They went both flying and crashing down into the ground.
"Oh no! He's walking over towards the dam," Yolei cried out.
"Lighdramon! Get up and do something!"
Golemon walks over towards the dam and a cruel smile came across his face. He began to power up as his fists began to glow.
"He's going to destroy the dam! Somebody do something!" Kari cried out.
Lighdramon, Shurimon and Digmon got to their feet once again. Golemon starts punching away at the walled dam in attempt to break it open.
"Thunder Blast!"
"Rock Cracking!"
"Double Stars!"
All three digimon threw their best attacks right at Golemon and watched as they nailed him. But again, it had no affect. Golemon turns around and blasts them with a purple cloud that easily put them down.
"Ugh! The smell," Lighdramon said as he began to gag.
"Can't… breath," said Shurimon.
"Cody… If only… We could beat him… If we gotten stronger…"
"What are we going to do? If we don't stop Golemon soon, he'll destroy the dam and the city will be washed away! We have to stop him now! If only Ken was here," Davis said.
Kari started to picture the flooded city of the Yukibotamon. She couldn't stand to see other digimon getting hurt, especially babies.
"Ken! We need you! If only our digimon were strong enough to digivolve but Golemon managed to put them away for good this time. If only we had more time to recover but there isn't."
As soon as she said that, Golemon punches a hole into the dam as water started coming down slowly but surely.
"Oh no! We're too late!" Davis said.
The Digi-Destined could only look on with horror from the looks on their faces. Just as Golemon was about to punch another hole right in the dam wall, something grabbed his arm and stopped him. Golemon turned to see Stingmon as he got decked right in the face by one of Stingmon's blades.
"Look! Its Ken," Davis said as he pointed up to the top of the cliff. Ken looked down and nodded.
"Ken! Thank god you made it," Yolei said, "We were really desperate for your help."
"Veemon doesn't have enough energy to evolve into Xveemon. He got the wind knocked right out of him."
"This is bad. I don't think even Stingmon stands a chance alone,"Cody said to himself.
"If only we could help Ken,"Yolei commented to herself in thought.
Suddenly, both of their D-3's started to glow and shine a bright light. Yolei and Cody held them up and watched them give Shurimon and Digmon more energy that they need.
"Armadillomon!"
"Hawkmon!"
Shurimon and Digmon de-evoled back into their rookie forms as they got set to evolve into their true champion leveled forms.
"Evolve now!"
Both digimon powered up as their bodies began to glow and grow into larger forms.
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
"Armadillomon shinka! Ankylomon!"
"They digivolved," Cody said.
"Unbelievable," Yolei whispered.
[Aquillamon. Hawkmon's Champion Level. Data Type. Special Techniques: Blast Ring & Grand Horn.]
"Yolei. I am Aquillamon, champion level form. My attacks include Blast Ring and Grand Horn. My speed is so fast that it will leave your head spinning."
[Ankylomon. Champion-Level of Armadillomon. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Tail Hammer & Megaton Press.]
"And I'm Ankylomon, Cody. I am a champion level form digimon. My attacks include Tail Hammer. And my armored back is almost indestructible and impervious to pain."
Aquillamon stood as a large eagle with horns on his head. Ankylomon was an armored dinosaur with a deadly looking tail club. They both charged in to attack Golemon.
"Alright! That's the way! Help Stingmon out and create some debris that will cover the hole in the dam," Yolei said.
"Go for it," Cody cried out.
"Stingmon! You got reinforcements," Ken shouted out.
Stingmon punches away at Golemon and tosses him towards Aquillamon and Ankylomon.
"He's yours now guys. Get him!"
"Grand Horn!"
"Tail Hammer!"
Both attacks hit Golemon as they were nailed with great speed. Golemon didn't see their attacks coming. Stingmon goes flying right at Golemon with his blades sticking out and ready to stab Golemon.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon stabbed right through Golemon as the monster cried out in pain. The force of the impact caused Golemon to go flying back and crashing into the canyon walls. He quickly shattered into data as debris came tumbling over the hole in the dam and it easily stopped it just in time.
"Alright! We did it!" Davis said.
The other Digi-Destined cheered happily as they have won yet another battle to protect the Digital World. But Yolei and Cody were even more proud to see their digimon finally reach to their champion level forms.
***************************************************************************************
"Man this is so awesome! Hawkmon, you rock!"
"Stop. Your making me blush, Yolei."
"Was I great, Cody?"
"Yep and you never let me down, Armadillomon."
"But this is just the beginning of many things yet to come," Ken said.
"Your right. The artificials are coming and it's only been half a year ago since the boy warned us," Kari said.
"But lets all look on the bright side. Veemon, Armadillomon and Hawkmon are able to reach to their champion forms. We might just succeed from preventing the frightening future. We failed in that boy's time period. We will change our destinies, all of ours not just him."
They all nodded in agreement and looked out to the sunset. Their biggest challenge was yet soon to come in just three years time.
Six months have passed since Dimitri's ominous warning. In about six months, the Digi-Destined shall embark on perhaps their most difficult task yet to date. They will do battle against the evil artificals sent out by Datamon. Will the Digi-Destined save their world from such destruction? Will they be prepared from then? How will they meet up to these new threats?

The Deadly Assassins: The Artificials Appear! The Secret of the Absorbers!
One Year Later - December 17, 2004 -
One year has passed by since the prophecy of the boy from the future, Dimitri. It has been three long years since the return of Tai and Agumon. Now, a year has have passed and the anticipation of the arrival of the artificials was now at hand. The earth was perhaps about to reach its darkest hour.
However, the groups of kids known as the Digi-Destined were not about to allow that to happen. With their digimon at their side, they are prepared for anything that will come at their way. Now it is time to put away all of their fears and stand up against these new terrors of mankind. If they don't stop them, then they will start a killing spree with the deadly virus known as the D-Virus.
The stage was set in Odaiba as Tai called forth all of the Digi-Destined to meet him at Highton View Terrance. This was, in fact, the same location where the first digimon made their appearances in the human world back almost nine years ago.
Each of the children all received emails from Tai and was on their way over. Since it was around the wintertime, they put on warmth to withstand the cold breeze. Tai even contacted Mimi and Michael from New York and told them of the news. Since they don't have D-3's, Yolei and Ken were able to reach them and open a gate for them into the Digital World and through another digital gate into Japan.
With all of the arrangements being made. Each of the children had already let their parents know that they would be away. Since they were a bit older, their parents gave it an "ok".
Tai and Agumon stood at the bridge of Highton View Terrance with his sister, Kari, and Gatomon. They waited for the other Digi-Destined kids to arrive. Davis, Veemon, Izzy and Tentomon were the first to arrive.
"So glad you guys could make it," Tai said.
"We're on time? Oh man. I should have slept in a little more," Davis said.
"Davis. This is important. We're dealing with deadly monsters looking on killing all of mankind and here you worry about sleep," Kari said.
"Well, a guy has to sleep."
"Tai, I managed to find the location of Kyoto through my laptop and here is what I propose. We use the flying digimon to get us on over towards that location."
"But all of our digimon can fly," Tai said.
"You're missing the point. That way, the ones that don't have to fly can reserve their energy in order to battle the artificials. No telling how strong they will be."
"Yeah. Good point. All right, I like the plan. All we need to do is wait for the others to arrive."
"Here come Yolei and Ken," Veemon said.
"Along with Mimi and Michael," said Agumon.
"Hey. You had it just in time," Gatomon replied.
"We had to get Mimi and Michael through the digital gates with our D-3's since they don't have D-3's to open a digital gate," Ken said.
Yolei nodded in agreement.
"So, what's the plan as far as transportation is concerned?"
"Izzy will explain everything once everybody gets here," Kari said.
"Well. I'm not about to wait here in the cold all day," Mimi said as she cupped her hands.
"Your not the only one," whined Palmon.
Just then, Sora and Biyomon came running down.
"Sorry that we're late!" Sora yelled out.
"Unfortunately, we just received news and found out that Cody and Joe are over at Kyoto at this moment," Biyomon explained.
"Great, they beat us to it," Tai said, "Alright. Is everybody ready?"
"Yeah!"
"Alright. Now, listen up. This is the day that we finally meet the artificials," Izzy said, "And as you all know. Our digimon has gotten stronger through intense training and the new kids have found the way to digivolve their digimon into their champion leveled forms. Now, we don't know how strong are the artificials but we know for a fact that we will give it our all and put these monsters in their place."
"Just another problem… the D-Virus," Ken mentions.
"I'm getting to that part. Now as you know that viruses can be cured with antidotes. Well, since the boy from the future gave Tai the antidote, I studied it and managed to make replicas by uploading them and creating digimon pills. They will help replenish health and kill the virus in the process. If any one of you ends up getting infected, I will give you one of these pills. There should be enough for everyone. Any questions?"
"Yeah. I got one. How do we get other over?" asked Davis.
"Simple. Some of our digimon can fly in their champion leveled forms. So we can use Biyomon, Hawkmon, Tentomon, Gatomon and… Hey where's Patamon?"
"Hey guys! Don't forget about me!" a voice shouted.
TK ran towards the others. Patamon trails right after him.
"Where were you, TL?" asked Davis, "We've been calling you all day!"
"Sorry. My mom and I had something important to do first. But I reminded her about this and she let me go."
"Well now that's settled, are we ready to go?" asked Tai.
"Yeah!"
"Alright, Biyomon. You know what to do."
"Right!"
Sora's digivice started to glow as it gave Biyomon the power to digivolve.
"Biyomon shinka! Birdramon!"
"Hawkmon! Go for it!"
"Okey dokey!"
Yolei's D-3 started to glow as it allowed Hawkmon the chance to digivolve into his champion leveled form.
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
"Tentomon!"
"I'm on it, Izzy!"
Izzy's digivice started to glow as it allowed Tentomon to digivolve into his champion leveled form.
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"
"Gatomon, you conserve your strength."
"Alright then, then Patamon! Go for it!"
"Right!"
(Digimon Adventure theme "Evolution" plays)
TK's D-3 started to power up as it allowed Patamon the chance to digivolve into his champion leveled form.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Angemon, Kabuterimon, Aquillamon and Birdramon all stood up as people started looking out through their windows. Some of them could easily remember the two monsters that fought in this area before. First, Greymon and Parrotmon were seen. Then Garudamon and Mammothmon. Now they are seeing more monsters than before.
A little boy with blue hair looked up towards the skies. He was astonished by the magnificence of the digimon.
"Wow. That's so awesome. I wish I had one of those."
"Lets all decide who goes with who," Tai said.
Angemon picked up TK. Birdramon was able to carry Tai, Agumon, Sora, Kari and Gatomon on aboard. Aquillamon carried Yolei, Ken, Wormmon, Davis and Veemon. Kabuterimon carried Izzy, Mimi, Palmon, Michael and Betamon on aboard.
"So are we ready?" asked Davis.
"We said yes already!"
"Then Kyoto here we come!"
("Evolution" ends)
The flying digimon then headed towards the direction towards the city of Kyoto. As the digimon were flying above the city, many people were looking and pointing up. They could easily remember the monsters that invaded around the time Myotismon appeared. These were the same monsters that saved the earth from his wicked grasp.
"Odaiba looks so beautiful from up here," Kari said.
"Well, its not going to last unless we stop those artificials," said Gatomon.
"Your right and we should be as careful as possible," Tai said.
"Speaking of which. Tai, did you forget that in that boy's time, you would end up dying after contracting the D-Virus," asked Sora.
"No I didn't forget. And I'm not dead. So I'm still here and that's what counts."
"I'm not so sure. How do we know that you haven't been infected?"
"Look. I know Tai very well and I know for a fact that he hasn't been infected," Agumon said, "So just don't worry so much."
"Alright. I just want you two around to be healthy enough to fight these monsters."
"Don't worry. Plus I know for a fact that we will win this battle. That boy might think that those monsters will get the best of us, but when I look at it in a different perspective, I see a victory for us Digi-Destined."
This brought a smile to the face of Sora as she led Birdramon onto their flight towards Kyoto. They were getting much closer than they first thought since their digimon have increased their speed to travel over great distances without even wasting too much energy.
While Aquillamon was flying to follow Birdramon's direction, Yolei turns her attention to Ken, who looked a bit depressed.
"What's wrong, Ken?"
"I'm just a little worried about the artificials themselves. If that boy from the future said about those artificials actually killing all of us in his time, you think we even stand a chance in the present time?"
"Ken. You shouldn't even think like that. Now, I must agree that the boy was right about us being powerless against such a devastating force from the artificials. But this is our time and our chance to change our destinies. We're not going to let monsters affect our dreams and futures. It's time to be strong. So, let the sadness and fear go."
"Yes."
"You know, she's right, Ken," Davis said.
"Huh?"
"Fear has been bottled up inside of you ever since you lost your brother. But it's all in the past. I know you went through a lot of problems and Shadramon used you for his own evil ambitions. But now, you're a completely different person. But Yolei is right, you have to stay strong in order to fight such a threat as the artificials."
"Yes. I thank you two for your advice. Now I feel more confident about this situation."
"That's the way Ken," Veemon said.
"I won't let you down," replied Wormmon.
"Thank you my friend."
"Well now that's all settled, lets speed it up, Aquillamon!"
"You got it!"
Aquillamon powered up as he started flying in hyper speed in order to catch up to Birdramon, Angemon and Kabuterimon.
"So, you think you're up for it, Mimi," asked Michael.
"Well. I'm just a little worried about Matt now. He didn't come with us."
"Don't worry. I'm sure he's over in Kyoto as we speak."
"Maybe your right. Lets just worry on beating some evil creep trying to kill humankind."
"Mmhmm. We'll beat them for sure," Palmon said.
The digimon were now getting closer to Kyoto faster than they would have imagined. But they would have to find a location where not very many people were around.
"Izzy. Lets make sure that we land somewhere where there aren't a lot of people around," Kabuterimon said.
"Right. I'll let the others know."
"Make sure to send an email to Cody and Joe."
"Right."
As soon as he did that, Joe and Cody were on top of a valley ridge just a mile away from the city of Kyoto, and away from the temple shrines.
"Ahhh, there they are," Tai said.
"Birdramon, we'll land right over towards that valley ridge. Right where Joe and Cody are standing."
"Right. Hang on tight."
Birdramon landed on over down towards the valley ridge where Joe, Cody, Armadillomon and Gomamon were jumping up to get their attention.
"Hey! We're so glad that you guys managed to make it here," Cody said.
"Ahhh. I didn't know you guys liked me so much," chuckled Gomamon.
"Don't worry, Gomamon. We wouldn't leave you out," replied Sora.
"Ahhh. You're just saying that."
"No what are friends for," Kari said.
Soon, Aquillamon, Angemon and Kabuterimon all landed on the cliff ridge to meet up with the Digi-Destined. The champions de-evolved back to their rookie forms so that they would conserve their strength in preparation for the big battle.
"So we're all here?" asked Joe.
"No, except Matt. Where is he?" asked Tai.
"He said that he would come later. He's so hell bent on surpassing you Tai," replied TK.
"Yeah. I would like to see him try! So, we don't have to wait for him. I'm sure he can look for us through his digivice."
"Say, where's Leomon? I heard that he would be here," replied Davis.
"You calling for me," said a loud voice.
The Digi-Destined all turned to see Leomon walking up towards them.
"How did you get here into the real world?" asked Mimi.
"I used my D-3 to open a digital gate for him," Cody replied, "And he wanted to get a shot at the artificials also."
"I think everyone of us does, Cody," replied Armadillomon.
"So what time is it now," asked Agumon.
"According to my watch, its 9:30," said Izzy.
"And the boy said that they would arrive here at 10:00," Veemon said, "Lets just hope he was telling the truth. I didn't wake up this early to come all the way over here."
"No kidding," Davis said, "But hey! You can now evolve into your champion form. So your more than ready."
"But we don't know for sure how strong these artificials really are," Kari, "So I shouldn't underestimate their power."
"I'm not. After all, I know for a fact that Veemon has been training harder than he ever has been during these past three years."
"Plus I lost a couple of pounds. So I feel good about myself. Heh. Heh."
"Well that's Veemon's confidence for ya," replied Gatomon.
"He looks confident and that's all that matters," Patamon replied.
Kari looked at her brother, who was becoming a bit more tensed as the minutes go by. He wasn't scared or worried, but Kari could easily tell what could be troubling him. Yes, it was the fact that the possibility of Tai contracting the D-Virus before the battle against the artificials. But the question is, did he contract it as the boy from the future predicted. Even Agumon knew that Tai was healthy.
The Digi-Destined all waited around as the minutes passed by. The sun was about to fully shine over the landscape and the city would become more active as the hour of 10:00 would soon approach.
Minutes have passed by and it was now 10:00. Izzy looked at his watch and turned to face the other Digi-Destined.
"You guys. Its now 10:00, which means that the time of the artificial's arrival is right now."
"But one problem. Where are the artificials? I don't see a trace of them anywhere," said Davis.
"Me neither. But we still have to keep a look out for anything suspicious. No telling when they could arrive ay any given moment," Tai said.
"We'll let you guys know if we can sense their power levels," Agumon replied.
"Just leave it to us," Veemon said.
"Ken? You thinking about something," asked Wormmon.
"Not really. Just looking at how precious this world really is. I never really was out that often. I've always confined myself within my home perfecting my genius ways. But gone are those days."
"Its a lot more beautiful than you think," Yolei said.
"Really? How?"
"Take a look around you. The trees, the city, the skies, the birds and the animals are around us. They make up the beauty of nature around here. You really got to see the temples here in Kyoto. Legends say that spiritual creatures attempt to come out into our world. However, it is the temples that keeps these creatures away."
"Wow. I never really thought of that. Who told you this?"
"And they call you a genius? Oh well, I mean your not even the Kaiser anymore, so it doesn't matter. But, some man named Professor Takenouchi years ago while I was on a school fieldtrip told me. I brought Poromon with me and he questioned me about my digimon. He believes that the spiritual creatures might in fact be the digimon themselves. But that was just a theory of his."
Sora heard the last name 'Takenouchi' and turned to face Yolei.
"Yolei. You met my father?"
"Huh? Oh so your last name is Takenouchi. Yeah, I met him and he had a lot to say concerning digimon after he saw Poromon."
"Wow. I never really thought of that. You see, I haven't seen him in such a long time. Its a long story."
"Oh. So you live with your mother?"
"Yeah."
Ken looks up at the sky and smiles as he sees several birds flying by. He started to appreciate how precious life really was.
"Ken. If only you were around, you be proud on how much of a braver and stronger person I have become. You would have had a heyday if you met Wormmon and went to the Digital World with me. But I know you're with me inside my heart. So you have been going to the Digital World and you have been sharing the power that has made Stingmon stronger over these past three years. And you are with me during this battle against the artificials. Brother, I will not fail you."
Ken sat up and watched as the bird went flying towards the city. A smile came across his face. Yolei took notice of this and smiled as well. She was much happier to see Ken erasing all of his sad emotions and expressing his true feelings towards life itself.
"That's the way, Ken. Just let your emotions go. You'll feel much better if you erase all of that sadness that was kept bottling up inside of you."
"Well. They're not coming. I knew that boy was telling a lie," Davis said, "I can't believe we came all the way out here for nothing. No androids, no artificials, no nothing!"
"Davis. Its only 10:05, maybe he didn't realize the exact time that they would arrive," replied Kari.
"Well I don't know about you. But they're not coming. Veemon, evolve and lets get the hell out of-"
As soon as he said that, a large explosion took place in the sky as a jet plane was seen crashing down on the other side of the city, where it lands in a nearby forest. The Digi-Destined gasped at what they saw.
"Ah! What the hell caused that!" shouted Sora.
"I don't know, but it was a huge explosion," said Kari.
TK looked up and gasped at what he saw. He pointed up to three flying figures that weren't visibly identified.
"Take a look up there!"
The children looked up and gasped. The digimon were even more shocked because they couldn't even detect their power levels. Whatever these things were had no power levels to pick up energies from.
"You guys! It has got to be the artificials," Ken cried out.
"But how? We couldn't even sense their power levels," said Agumon.
"Not good at all," replied Veemon.
The three mysterious figures then flew right down into the city of Kyoto. The Digi-Destined saw the location at where they landed however, they weren't able to detect them through their D-3's and digivices.
"They've just landed in Kyoto," said Michael.
"So how are we going to find them if we can't even sense their power levels," asked Gatomon.
"Well if we can't sense their energies, then we will find them the old fashioned way, with our eyes."
They all nodded in agreement.
"Alright! I'm heading out," Tai said, "Who wants to come with me?"
Davis, Ken, TK, Yolei and Cody all raised their hands. Leomon also agreed to join up with them as he pulled out his sword.
"Alright. Kari, Sora, Izzy, Mimi and Michael will stay here then. And if Matt comes by here, tell him and let him know where we are at," replied Tai.
"We'll contact you if we can," Izzy said.
"Alright guys! Lets move out," Davis said.
The children all slid down the ridge and headed down towards the city of Kyoto. The digimon went to follow them out and they made sure not to digivolve until the right opportunity comes.
"Be careful out there you guys. TK. Tai. You two better come back safely," Kari thought to herself.
The children all decided to split up. Tai and Davis took the north section of the city. Ken and Yolei took the east section. TK decides to scout the southern section. Cody took the west section. Leomon searched in the center section of the city.
"You see anything yet, Veemon?"
"Not yet, Davis. Geez. This is going to be a lot harder than I first imagined. Luckily I was able to eat myself a nice patch of pancakes."
"Just be glad that I make the best pancakes around."
"Next time, don't over cook them. My tongue is a bit dry from those dry pancakes."
"Will you guys stop talking about food and concentrate on what we are looking for," said Tai.
"Oh right."
"Tai. I can't even find them. If only these things had some kind of energies so that I could trace them," Agumon said, "But nothing. What are these things made of anyway?"
"I have no clue. But I don't want to find out either. And be alert. These things are said to carry the D-Virus within their bodies."
"Well I feel sorry for all of these people if we can't even find those things," Davis said.
"No kidding, Davis. There's no telling what kind of devastation this virus could have on Kyoto."
As the two goggle heads run by, a small girl with a yellow sock puppet watched them pass by. She noticed their digimon and thought she was seeing things.
"Wow. Those kids really made some good costumes."
She then held her sock puppet out, which had a dog-like appearance. It had black, beady eyes and a tongue sticking out. The girl giggled to herself and made several noises to give her puppet life.
"Ruff! Ruff!"
"Hawkmon. You see anything?"
"Nada. Looks like we're on the wrong end of the stick here. I just hoped that boy would have given us a full description of these things."
"That would have been a lot easier. I agree," Ken said.
"Ken. What is it that makes you so angry?"
"These things want to kill for no apparent reason and I loathe anything that wants to kill innocent lives. I may have been the Kaiser, but I never had any intentions of taking lives away. This Datamon makes me sick."
"You can vent your anger on these things once we find them," Yolei said, "I promise we will find them."
Ken nodded in agreement. Just a few yards away from their area, Leomon was standing in the center as the crowd began to look at him but they simply ignored him as if Leomon were just 'another guy in a suit rehearsing for a movie'.
"Ugh. If only these nosey people would stop staring at me. Don't they have any idea what is about to happen? Ugh! Where are those things anyway?"
Meanwhile, on the other side of Kyoto, three mysterious figures walked out from an alleyway. They were lucky enough to walk about since there were no people around to take notice of them. The three figures marched on over down towards the lively section of the city.
Cody and Armadillomon walked across the bridge and watched as several people were walking by peacefully. He was so surprised over the fact that these people had not realized that a huge threat was coming their way.
"Don't these people realize what is about to happen to them. I just hope I'm the one to stop these things before they hurt any innocent people."
"Cody? Whatca thinking?"
"Armadillomon. It's bad enough for digimon to get killed but its even worse for people to lose their lives at the hands of heartless monsters."
"That's why we're here to stop them. And I'm right at your side on this one."
"Thanks. Your always there to protect me always."
"What are friends for?"
"If only the others are having as much luck as we are."
"Not a sight of them, Patamon."
"Even while flying from above, I can't seem to see anything suspicious."
"If only Dimitri had given us a picture of them, then it would have been a lot easier."
TK looked out towards the city and he was starting to get frustrated after looking around his surroundings. Were these things hiding or do they have some sort of camouflage to help them hide. TK had to know what their intentions were at this moment of time.
The three figures started towards a large group of people who were taking a look at the fallen jet plane that crash land in the forest just miles from the city. The crowd hadn't noticed the figures just yet but they began discussing the crash to carry on the conversation.
"Geez! That was one hell of a crash," a teenage boy said.
"I don't think anybody could have survived that disaster. But where are the cops? Shouldn't they be investigating?" asked another civilian.
Then the two guys turned around and looked towards the three figures.
"Hey! Are you three rehearsing for some movie? If you are, those are pretty phat costumes," the boy said.
But instead of responding, the three figures turned to face them. One of them looked like Lady Devimon but her body was completely made of ice. This was Ice Ladydevimon. The second figure turned out to be a short, elf-like creature with pointy ears, a small hat and no eyebrows. But it was his lifeless and cold eyes that sent chills down the spines of the civilians. This one was named Elfmon. And the last turned out to be a monkey with a surfer suit, with a pair of shades to cover his lifeless and mechanical eyes. This was Funkymon but this one was considered to be the most dangerous of the three.
"What's wrong with you three?"
"I don't know what they're problem is, but they're starting to creep me out."
"Hey! I asked you a question! And I expect an answer."
Suddenly, Elfmon's eyes started to glow, which freaked the two guys even further. Ice Ladydevimon wrenches back and stabs her claws right through the man's chest. The boy gasped in horror and tried running away but Elfmon quickly phased right in front of him and extended a hand out. The boy froze in fear as Elfmon sprayed some sort of chemical on him. The young man cried out in pain as the chemical covered his body. He felt his skin melt away while screaming in tremendous agony and pain. An evil smile came across the face of Elfmon as he looked down at the quivering body of the now melted body.
Another pair of civilians tried running away but Funkymon turned to face them. He locked his targets on a slow-moving man. He quickly flew right towards him and stopped him in his tracks.
"No… What do you want? Here. You can have everything…"
The man pulled out his wallet and handed it over to Funkymon, however the artificial grabbed him by the throat. Funkymon began choking him out so hard that the man's face started turning blue. A woman fell over and looked out towards the artificials. Here eyes were filled with tremendous fear and she let out a blood-curling scream that echoed throughout the city.
Cody heard the scream and looked over to the direction of where the scream might have came from. He believes it was on the west section where they were supposed to scout.
"You hear that?"
"From a mile away. It's within this area. It's not to far from here. I say we go check it out."
"Agreed."
Cody and Armadillomon both headed out towards where the scream of the woman might have come from. But they knew for a fact that it was around the west section of Kyoto. And they have a good feeling that the artificials are there as well.
"I have to get Armadillomon to evolve into his champion leveled form. No telling how strong these things are."
Funkymon drops his victim, as he falls the ground dead. Funkymon's eyes started to glow as he began to detect a power level heading into their direction. This power level belonged to Armadillomon. Funkymon had to act.
"I am beginning to pick up an enormous energy. It is one of those digimon of the Digi-Destined. What does your sensors indicate?"
Ice Ladydevimon was the first to speak.
"It is the one named Armadillomon."
"Yes and they're getting closer. Perhaps they are the ones we are seeking," Elfmon said in a monotonous manner.
"Perhaps. But we shall see who this is, just in case."
"We will kill him? Yes? Will we?" asked Ice Ladydevimon.
As soon as the Cody and Armadillomon made it over towards the area, they found several dead bodies on the ground. Shock came over the face of Cody. He couldn't believe what he was seeing before him. On one side, he found a person's body all melted up. Then he sees another with a hole in his chest with his insides bubbling up and melting away. And then he sees a man lying dead on the ground with an indention in his throat.
"This is getting much worse than we first thought," Cody said.
"You said it and they could have been infected by the D-Virus by judging by that melted body over there. It's making my stomach turn."
"Gross. This is just sick."
Suddenly, Cody heard whimpering. It was coming from behind a car. It sounded like a frightened woman or a little boy. Cody went to check it out and to his surprise, he found the same young woman who had screamed a while ago.
"Hey you."
The woman looked up at him and sighed a relief but was still visibly traumatized. Her eyes were filled with fear and her entire body was shaking.
"Do you know what happened to these people?"
"Yes…"
"What happened?"
"There… Were three of them…"
"Ah! The artificials!"
"They came and sprayed some chemical… I have no idea what it was but it melted some of them… Its horrible…"
"Three of them! That boy was right all along!"
Just as he said that, the three artificials were looking down from nearby building. Ice Ladydevimon began to scan the area.
"This isn't the one we are looking for," Elfomon said.
"So I shall identify him," replied Ice Ladydevimon.
As soon as she said that, she began to scan Cody and picked up quite a lot of information on him.
"My sensors are telling that boy is none other than Iori "Cody" Hida. He is of the human species. Male. Age eleven. His partner digimon is Armadillomon. He possesses the Digimentals of Knowledge and reliability."
"Excellent. We shall collect some energy from him," Funkymon said, "Then we shall infect him."
They nodded in agreement as they went hovering down towards where Cody was standing.
"Just get away from here as fast as possible," Cody said, "My friend and I will take everything from here."
"But you're just a boy…"
"Please, ma'am."
The woman nodded and started running off from the devastated area, where she left Cody and Armadillomon began their search.
"So, shall we begin, Cody?"
"Yes."
The three artificials appeared right behind Cody. Cody turned to face them.
"Huh? Hey, you three. You better get out of here. There's some killers on the loose."
As soon as she said that, he stopped to closely examine them. And it finally came to his conclusion that he was face to face with the killers themselves. He looked at their eyes and could easily tell that they weren't people in movie costumes either.
"No… You can't be them…"
Cruel smiles came across their faces. Funkymon was the first to reply.
"We are they."
Cody jumps back and pulls out his D-3. Armadillomon got ready to fight.
"Armadillomon its time to-"
But as soon as he was about to finish his sentence, Funkymon quickly grabbed Cody by the throat and hoisted him above his head. Cody began kicking and screaming but Funkymon cupped the boy's mouth shut.
"You let him go, damn it!"
But soon, Ice Ladydevimon flew right at Armadillomon and kicks him away to the curb. Armadillomon hit his head on the concrete and was laid out unconscious. Funkymon tightened his grip on Cody. The young boy was beginning to feel his energy being drained away but at the same time, he felt something entering his body. It was a cold, liquid feeling.
The artificials saw a few vehicles about to drive by but they were there to blast them all away. This allowed Funkymon enough time to collect as much energy as he needed from Cody.
"What's happening to me! I feel as if my body is getting weaker. My energy is being drained but I feel something else entering my body. A very cold feeling."
The vehicles exploded as a result of being blasted. Huge gusts of smoke were covering the area and flames were getting bigger as a result. It was now becoming ground zero in a matter of minutes.
Funkymon pulled out his other hand and an injection needle came popping out of his hand. A cruel smile came across his face as he pushed the needle into the neck of Cody. The young boy tried to scream but with his mouth cupped, he didn't have a chance to. Cody felt his body starting to go limp and a burning sensation was building up inside of his body. However, this burning sensation was as if his insides were caught on fire. He couldn't even move a muscle. Yes, it was the D-Virus taking is effect on one of the Digi-Destined.
The Digi-Destined all noticed the huge explosions taking place and felt a tremendous power level depleting. Since the artificials have no power levels, they came to the conclusion that one of their team members were in serious trouble.
Kari and Gatomon looked out from the cliff ridge as they watched the smoke rising from the city. A look of worry was coming across her face. She couldn't even do anything now, but she won't stand to see any of her friends to get hurt. She would go out to help her friends.
"Cody. No…"
Huge clouds of smoke were forming in the air as fire began covering some parts of the city. Many of the civilians made their escape through as they watched parts of the city go into flames. Fire departments were there to put out the fire but even that wasn't enough. It was as if the area was suddenly turning into ground zero all over again.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, on the western section of Kyoto, the three artificials were standing around and looking up to Cody. The young boy was quivering with tremendous pain. Funkymon had just injected him with a dose of the D-Virus through a needle and injected it into his neck. Cody's eyes began to become glazed over as a result.
Armadillomon couldn't even go and help his partner since he was so easily brushed aside by the artificials and knocked out cold for the time being. Funkymon pulled the needle out of Cody's neck. The young boy began to stop moving as his eyes were now glazed over. Blood was dripping down from Cody's neck wound at the same time.
Patamon was the first to pick up the energy decrease. He flew up and looked over towards the west section where the huge flames were blazing.
"What's wrong, Patamon?"
"TK. I can feel somebody's energy depleting. It can't be the artificials."
Then TK just realized that Cody was supposed to search in the west section. He calls out to Patamon.
"Patamon. I know who it is! Its Cody!"
"What!"
"We better send an email and get over there this instant!"
TK pulls out his D-Terminal and began to send several email messages to the other Digi-Destined about Cody.
Tai and Davis were the first to receive the email message. They read the message and gasped at what they just read. Davis couldn't believe and neither could Tai.
"TK says that Cody might be in danger. We better head on other there this instant," Davis said.
"Yeah. There's no telling what those artificials could have done to him! I don't even want to think about it."
Davis and Tai nodded to each other and both headed out towards the western section of the city of Kyoto. Veemon and Agumon followed their partners in order to catch up to them.
"Lets just hope he didn't get infected by the D-Virus," Tai thought to himself.
"This is bad. What if Cody ends up being hurt?" Yolei said.
"We can't think like that! We have to get there as soon as possible," replied Ken, "Wormmon! Lets go!"
"Hawkmon!"
Ken and Yolei notice fire coming from the west section and start heading on over there.
"Wherever there is devastation, there is trouble. The artificials aren't far from here," Ken said.
"And lets hope there's enough time to save Cody," said Yolei.
"I hope so too, Yolei. I hope so too," Ken thought to himself.
In a matter of moments, they were able to make it to the west section but they had to get passed the blazing flames first. The fire stood as a barrier, which kept the four from passing through.
"Damn it! We can't even pass through," Ken angrily said.
"This is not good! C'mon guys! We'll help!"
Leomon was quickly heading towards the west section. He was able to leap through the roofs of several buildings to avoid the raging flames that were becoming increasing common throughout the scattered sections of Kyoto.
"I've got to hurry before Cody loses it! And I should be the one protecting them at all times!"
As soon as he said that, he quickly phased out to get through further distances. This would enable him to reach the western section in a heartbeat.
Funkymon held Cody up and looked into the boy's eyes. They were soon becoming lifeless as a result of the D-Virus completing destroying him from within and the loss of blood.
Suddenly, the artificial's sensors began going off. They felt several tremendous energies heading towards their direction. Elfmon and Ice Ladydevimon both looked up to see Angemon flying down with TK.
"There they are," TK cried out.
"They've got Cody," Angemon said.
Soon, Davis and Tai were the next to arrive. Tai stopped in his tracks and looked towards the artificials. A look of shock came across his face. He looked to see Funkymon holding up Cody's dying corpse.
"Cody! No! You put him down," Davis growled.
Tai clenched his fists and the sight of Funkymon severely angered him. But it even furthered infuriated both Veemon and Agumon.
"You… monster…" Tai said with anger building up in the tone of his voice.
Ken tried throwing wooden boxes to slow down the fire but it was no use. It was only making it worse.
"Well so much for my genius!"
"Ken, hello! Why don't you get Wormmon to digivolve and we fly over."
"Yes but the problem is that he will waste energy and he needs it to fight the artificials."
"Well think about this. The others could already be over there by now and may need our help. Ever think about that?"
Ken stood there thinking for a moment. Wormmon looked up to his partner.
"Ken, so what's it going to be?" Wormmon asked.
"Lets do it! Wormmon, get ready to kick some tail!"
"Its about time!"
("Break Up!" plays)
Ken's D-3 glowed and it sent energy to Wormmon as he began to digivolve into his champion form. His body grew bigger and pairs of wings popped right out of his back. He stood upright and had a more insect like appearance.
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
Stingmon picks Ken, Yolei and Hawkmon up and flies right over the flaming wall.
"Now we must head on over to the west section, towards where all of that smoke is coming from," Ken said as he pointed out to the tremendous amounts of smoke covering a small section of Kyoto.
"I'm on it!"
Then Stingmon quickly flew right on over towards that direction. Then as soon as he got there, he looked down to see the other Digi-Destined face to face with the artificials themselves. Ken and Yolei looked down to see Funkymon holding Cody.
("Break Up!" ends)
"CODY!"
Stingmon landed and placed Yolei and Ken down. They ran over towards Tai and the others. They couldn't believe at what they were seeing. Right in front of them were the three killers that Dimitri was talking about. And their first victim ended up being Cody instead.
"You demons put him down," Leomon roared angrily.
A dark smirk came across the face of Funkymon as he dropped Cody down on the ground. The young boy was still somewhat quivering with a large wound on his neck, where he was injected with the D-Virus.
"TK! There is still enough time to save Cody. I want you to pick him up and take him away from here! Izzy has some of those antidote pills. Give Cody one of those and he should be fine."
"Right!"
TK goes over to Cody and picks. Then he looks on over to Armadillomon, who was still knocked out cold.
"I'll carry you and Armadillomon out, TK," Angemon said.
"Right. I got Cody here with me."
TK puts Cody on his left shoulder while Angemon goes to place Armadillomon on his right shoulder. Angemon goes over and picks up TK.
"I'm counting you guys," said Tai.
TK gave thumbs up and Angemon flies off into the skies and back towards the cliff ridges where the others were waiting.
Meanwhile, the other children faced off against the three artificials. It was Tai, Davis, Yolei, Ken and Leomon facing them off. Ice Ladydevimon, Funkymon and Elfmon simply stared at them without a look of worry on their faces.
"Hmm. So these three are the killer artificials we heard so much about. Kind of funny looking if you ask me," Leomon said.
"Well. Its quite interesting to realize that we are the artificials set to kill humankind," Funkymon said, "But I find it more surprising to see you here. Tell us, how did you anticipate our arrival?"
"If you want to know, you're going to have to fight us to get the answers," Davis said.
"Agumon! Time to clean out the trash!"
"Yeah!"
Tai held out his digivice and it began to glow. Then his chest began to glow the crest of courage. Those combined powers sent a powerful ray of energy to Agumon as he got set to evolve into his highest level form, the mega stage.
("Target Akai Shougeki" plays)
"Agumon warp shinka!"
Agumon went through his Greymon and Metal Greymon stages as he finally reached his mega form, War Greymon. He stood upright and developed armored claws. He powered up as his body began to glow a fiery aura color.
"War Greymon!"
"Veemon! Your up now!"
Davis' D-3 began to glow as Veemon got set to digivolve into his champion form. His body got bigger, plus two pairs of wings came popping out of his back. A large form grew on the tip of his nose.
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
"Hawkmon! Go for it!"
Yolei's D-3 began to glow as Hawkmon got set to digivolve into his champion form. His body grew larger. He became more eagle-like and two horns came out of the sides of his head.
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
War Greymon, Xveemon, Aquillamon, Stingmon and Leomon stood on one side with their respective partners. And on the other side stood the three evil artificials. A wall of fire was blazing in the background around them. Suddenly, Tai took notice of the surroundings and watched as fire started to cover a lot of areas.
"No, you guys. We can't fight here. Too many people will get here if we fight here," Tai said.
"So you want to find another location for us to duel?" asked Funkymon, "Very well then. You can lead us into another more open area."
"Unless of course. You want to see more innocent people to suffer?" Ice Ladydevimon said
"Leave these people out of this!" Ken said.
"They have nothing to do with your sick games," replied Tai.
"Is that so, Taichi?"
Tai gasped after what Funkymon said. The artificial actually knew his name, and what makes it even creepier was the fact that these two have never met before.
"Hey, how did you know his name?" asked War Greymon.
"I know all of you. Ken Ichijouji. The brave warrior known as Leomon. Miyako Inoue. Daisuke Motomiya. Its no surprise of which you all are, Digi-Destined."
"Lets make introductions later. I say we take this battle away from here and into a more open area out in the nearby islands," Tai said.
"Very well. Lead us there."
Tai turned towards the others and nodded. They all nodded. War Greymon picks Tai up and flies off. Stingmon carries Ken and follows him. Leomon hovers up and flies off after them. Yolei hopped onto Aquillamon and they flew off right after their comrades. Davis jumps onto Xveemon's back as they set off to follow the others. The three artificials hovered up and went to follow them.
("Target Akai Shougeki" ends)
Cody looked at his neck and it was all healed up. He started to move about slowly and sighed a relief.
"Wow. That stuff does the trick," Cody said.
"Were just glad that you're ok," replied Kari.
"Hmmm. We should need more of these," TK said.
Patamon and Gatomon felt strong power levels leaving Kyoto and heading off towards the neighboring islands just miles away.
"You guys! They're leaving and the artificials are following after them," Gatomon said.
"So shouldn't we like go after them," asked Mimi.
"I think TK and I should go," replied Kari.
"Wait. Let me come," said Cody.
TK nodded in disagreement.
"You just got healed up with the antidote I gave you. You should rest here."
"But I feel useless just standing around here."
"Your not. Cause you'll be helping with Izzy and the others. Sora, Mimi and Michael are staying with them as well," replied Kari.
"Well ok."
"But tell us one thing. Do these things really absorb energy," asked Patamon.
"Yes. When that one artificial grabbed me. I felt energy leaving my body and he injected me with the D-Virus. You should stay away from their hands at all costs."
"Then we'll be careful," replied TK, "Lets go Kari."
"Right! Gatomon lets go for it!"
TK and Kari's D-Terminals opened up as their digimentals were activated.
("Break Up!" plays)
"Armor Shinka Energize!"
"Patamon armor shinka! Pegasusmon, the Galloping Hope!"
"Gatomon armor shinka! Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!"
The two children hopped onto their flying digimon as they set off to follow their comrades leading the artificals away from Kyoto. In a matter of moments, they were gone as well. Cody could only look on with worry on his face. Sora, Mimi, Izzy and Michael looked out to the sky and they began to wonder if they would beat the artificials before more innocent lives are taken away. Cody almost lost his life and the Digi-Destined can't afford to lose anybody at this moment of time.
"Come back safe and sound, guys. And please watch out for their hands."
("Break Up!" ends)
The Digi-Destined looked down at several islands. The ocean was quite a magnificent scene to look at. The artificials were right behind them. War Greymon pointed down to the largest island. Tai nodded and he signaled to the other children. They all flew down onto the island. The artificials hovered down to meet them there.
Leomon looked around his surroundings. It was quite a mountainous area with no signs of human civilizations.
"Perfect. Now we can fight them with our best of our ability without having to worry about the safety of people around us."
Tai faced the artificials as he began panting. His forehead was beginning to sweat and he looked as though if he were running our of breathe. But the odd thing was that he didn't even run or make any movements that would tire him out so easily. Ken took notice of this.
"What's wrong with Tai? He looks so tired."
But Ken wasn't the only one taking notice of this. Leomon could easily tell that Tai wasn't being his usual confident self.
"Now. You better tell us who you three are? What are your intentions," Tai asked while panting some more.
"And you better give us a good explanation," growled War Greymon.
"Yes. I shall. Since you three have been questioning us. I think its only right that I tell you our intentions," replied Funkymon.
"As you can see, We've been designed to destroy the humans and the one who designed us to carry out this attack is none other than Datamon," said Ice Ladydevimon.
"Datamon? And how did he survive and create such evil monsters as yourself," Yolei asked.
"Very simple really. Right when he was being sucked into limbo with Etemon, he managed to escape through a dimensional vortex. From there he found himself in the human world. Where from there, he built an underground laboratory to keep himself hidden without any human interaction to find out about his secrets. From the time you foiled his plans six years ago, Datamon has only been seeking for revenge," Funkymon further explained.
"Wait a minute? This is just a grudge," asked Tai.
"From that time, Datamon created us to do his evil bidding. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to survive when we were complete. So we shall realize his dream of destroying you children and putting the humans out into extinction."
"But there is another thing, you should know. Datamon has been monitoring your battles both in the Digital and the real world. So he was able to obtain as much information as he possibly could," said Ice Ladydevimon, "So we are able to calculate your every attack. And we do know about your abilities to digivolve all the way to your mega levels. So you shouldn't be surprised."
"Yes. You should feel honored to be fully recognized. It inspires us greatly to have finally get the chance to meet you," Funkymon finished as he chuckled.
The digimon got into fighting positions. They faced off against the three evil artificials.
Pegasusmon and Nefertimon were on their way over towards the grounds that the other Digi-Destined were set to do battle against the artificial trio.
"I'm picking up some high level energies over on one of these islands," said Nefertimon.
"And we know that the artificials have no energy levels to read from," replied Kari.
"So they must be nearby. We don't have time to loose," TK said.
"I can feel their power levels just ahead of us! Hang on tight," Pegasusmon said.
Nefertimon and Pegasusmon flew out towards the island in order to help the others battle the artificials. They're going to need a lot of help and as soon as possible.
As the two sides faced each other off, a smile formed across the face of Tai. It was more of a confident look on his face.
"You may think that you know everything about me. But you know what? You really don't have any clue."
"What?"
"Did your sensors indicate that Tai and War Greymon are able to perform the fusion technique with one another?"
"Fusion Shinka!"
Suddenly, the ground started to shake tremendously as an aura of light formed over War Greymon. He let out a loud cry as Tai was doing the same thing. His body started to glow an orange aura color. Both of them transformed into two energy beams. They collided with another as they each combined their powers together. The artificials watched on as their sensors were picking up a tremendous energy from this single force.
("Target Akai Shougeki" plays)
"War Greymon! Fusion Shinka!"
As the beam of light faded away, there stood a similar figure that the Digi-Destined could easily remember. It was Omega X. The Digi-Destined were surprised to see him again. But this was the first time that the artificals took a good look at the fusion technique come into being in person.
"Omega X!"
The fused warrior turned to face the three evil artificials.
"You guys stay back. This fight is all mine."
"Interesting. Taichi and War Greymon were able to fuse with one another to evolve into a more powerful fighting warrior. I'm impressed. You've managed to by pass the mega level stages with ease. But it is nothing that we can't handle," said Funkymon, "Elfmon. Please demonstrate for our good friend here."
"Yes sir."
Elfmon started to walk onto the battlegrounds. Omega X got into a fighting position and nodded.
"Alright. But you bucket heads are asking more than you can chew. Don't say that I didn't warn you!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X went flying right at Elfmon as the two prepared to clash with one another.
At last, the battle between the Digi-Destined and the artificials has officially begun. But can even Omega X stand a chance against this trio of terror? The fight for the future is on and what a way to get things under way!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Omega X's Double Trouble! Yamato's Upgrade to Fusion: Metalla X Arrives!
Omega X goes flying right at Elfmon as he powered up into his fully charged maximum form. Elfmon goes to throw a punch in at Omega X, but Omega X was able to phase out quickly just in time. This caught Elfmon by surprise as he turns to see Omega X about to punch him. Elfmon maneuvers away and flies up. Omega X goes to fly up right after him. Elfmon phases out and hides behind a pile of rocks just nearby a small canyon ridge. Omega X couldn't sense his power so he found Elfmon hiding and shot out a huge ki blast at Elfmon. Elfmon easily phased out and reappeared right above Omega X. Elfmon goes head butt Omega X but Omega X was able to phase out quickly.
Elfmon flies down in order to slow down the momentum that Omega X was quickly building up. However, Omega X was much too clever to be outmaneuvered by the artificial. Omega X flies right down at Elfmon. Elfmon puts his hands up and shoots out two pairs of energy beams at him. Omega X quickly phases out and the beams go flying right past him. They go and blast away chunks of debris. Elfmon gasped when he turned to see Omega X right behind him. Elfmon goes to elbow Omega X in the face but Omega X goes for a spin kick to the head. Elfmon ducks under and phases out.
Omega X looks up to see Elfmon flying right up towards a nearby canyon ridge. Elfmon phases right behind it in order to catch Omega X by the surprise. Omega X flies up and phases above the canyon ridge.
"I don't think so! You can't hide from me that long!"
Omega X shoots out a blast at Elfmon, but the evil artificial was able to maneuver away just in time. Elfmon shoots out another blast at Omega X but Omega X twisted around to maneuver away from the blast. Elfmon phases down but Omega X was there to meet him down. Elfmon turns to see Omega X and goes to elbow him in the face. But Omega X ducks under and punches Elfmon right in the gut. Elfmon screams out in tremendous pain as Omega X buries the elbow into the gut of the artificial. Omega X pressed in so hard that the force of energy emitted a bright glow.
The Digi-Destined could only watch on. The new kids were impressed with the fighting abilities of Omega X. They had never seen such a fight such as this. They first saw Omega X many years ago during the confrontation with the boy from the future but this was the first time they really got to see him in any type of action.
"Man. He is so. And so fast too," Yolei said to herself.
"Man! I wish Veemon and I could fuse! Then we show those other two what were made of,"thought Davis.
"I wonder what caused humans and digimon to combine to become one? I need to know the power. So that way Stingmon and I have the ability to use it,"Ken said to himself.
Elfmon goes staggering back a bit as Omega X goes flying right at him. Omega X wrenches back both fists and pushes back as he punches Elfmon with a double fist attack. This causes Elfmon to go flying back and crashing into a nearby boulder. As a result, a huge explosion occurred because of the impact.
"Yeah! Way to go, guys," Davis said.
"Yeah. That a way, Tai," Ken said.
Leomon watched the battle take place. But it seemed as though he was more worried about something else rather than the fight that was taking place before him. Something was really bothering Leomon. But he wasn't the only one, the other digimon were feeling the same way too.
Omega X hovered down near the fallen rubble and got into a fighting position. He watched as the rubble exploded and scattered away. Elfmon sat up quickly and turned to face Omega X. His sensors started going off as he got into a fighting position as well. Omega X and Elfmon flew right at each other as they punched away at one another. But it seems as though that Omega X was taking the upper hand at the very moment. Elfmon kept missing his punches that he targeted Omega X with. Omega X was able to twist around and maneuvers away from some of Elfmon's punches. Omega X jumps up and dropkicks Elfmon right in the face. Elfmon goes flying back but he manages to stop himself in place before crashing into another canyon ridge. However, Omega X was able to faze right him and nail him with a kick to the back of the head. Elfmon goes flying back and goes face first into the ground. Omega X starts charging right towards Elfmon, who was able to get to his feet in time.
Elfmon goes for a punch but Omega X twists around yet again and uppercuts him in the chin. Elfmon goes flying up. Omega X follows him up and phases right above him. Omega X executes an elbow into the back of Elfmon's spine, which causes the artificial to go crashing down into the ground below him. Elfmon tries getting to his feet, but Omega X is there to stop him with a head butt into the face. Elfmon goes rolling away and crashing through the dirt. Omega X stops for a moment as he began to catch his breathe. However, he was breathing quite abnormally. He wouldn't be tired out this quickly in a fight. Something was obviously wrong, and the other digimon could easily tell. However, they couldn't tell the other children just yet since they were really sure what kind of a problem was holding Omega X back and causing him to tire out so easily.
Omega X slowly walks over towards the fallen body of Elfmon and goes to kick him away but Elfmon jumps up. Omega X quickly punches Elfmon right in the face and sends him flying backwards.
Ice Ladydevimon and Funkymon both took notice of Omega X's condition. They figured that he was tiring easily because he was using too much of his energy and allowing Elfmon to absorb his energy. But there was something that was slowing down Omega X. Yes he did look dominant in the fight but Elfmon just kept coming right back for some more.
"Ha! Omega X has this thing in the bag! There's no way that artificial can beat him now," said Davis.
"He's literally kicking his butt! I don't think we should have any problems with those other two," Xveemon replied.
"Hmmm. Maybe. Maybe not," Leomon said as he continued to keep en eye on the battle.
Elfmon was slowly getting to his feet. He held out one hand and shot out a beam at Omega X. Omega X managed to deflect it with his fists and bounces it right back at Elfmon. Elfmon maneuvers away from his own blasts and goes charging at Omega X. The fused warrior was able to jump right over him and kick him right in the back of the head. Elfmon goes falling down.
The battle continued to rage on as both sides watched on. Leomon was becoming more and more concerned with the condition of Omega X rather than the threat of the artificials. Meanwhile, the confidence of the artificials has now gotten stronger with them knowing that Omega X was slowing down and tiring himself out in the battle. Would this lead to something disastrous for Omega X in the long term?
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Pegasusmon and Nefertimon were just nearby the island where the battle was taking place.
"Are we almost there, Pegasusmon?"
"Not yet, TK. Just a few more islands to explore but we are getting close. We should keep our eyes peeled."
"Hey. Somebody is following us," Kari said.
"I wonder who could be following us," TK asked.
"You'll be quite surprised if I say this but its Garudamon," replied Nefertimon.
"Garudamon?!"
And to their surprise, Garudamon caught up to them. TK and Kari turned to see Sora looking outwards them.
"I had to come guys. I just couldn't stand staying on the sidelines with Tai out there fighting those things," Sora replied.
"We understand but we're glad that you decided to come," TK said.
"TK. I've found the location."
"Where?"
"Just ahead of us. That island, you see it?"
"Yeah."
"It's the largest of these islands, plus I can pick up a ton of power levels over on that island. The battle has got to be taking place there," Pegasusmon said.
"Then what are we waiting for! Lets move out," Kari cried out.
The digimon picked up the pace as they powered up and speed off towards the island that was ahead of them. They would have to move as fast as they could if they want to take a good look of Omega X taking action against Elfmon. As they hovered towards the island, they saw Omega X punching away at Elfmon with rapid punches.
"Tai! Agumon! They're fighting… Is that one of the artificials?" asked Kari.
"Yes. In fact, Omega X has been dominating this whole time," Xveemon said.
"It hasn't even laid one hit on Omega just yet," replied Stingmon.
"Wow. Unbelievable," Sora said, "That thing is getting his butt handed to him. He doesn't stand a chance against the combined force of Tai and Agumon."
"Uh huh…"
"You have a right to worry just a bit, TK," said Leomon.
"Huh? What do you mean, Leomon?"
"I've been watching this whole battle and knowing Omega X, he isn't being his usual confident self. It seems as though he's been tiring himself out during the coarse of this battle. If he keeps this up, he's going to give out on it. He's going to need our help, Digi-Destined!"
"Leomon. Maybe your just being paranoid, I don't see anything wrong with him," Ken said.
"He's right. I mean c'mon, that bucket head is toast," replied Yolei.
"I don't know how to explain it but I can easily sense Omega X's power level slowly depleting for some reason. But that artificial hasn't been tiring out, its strange."
"Hmmm. hey, I remembered Cody telling me that when those artificials touched him that he felt his energy being drained away," Kari said.
"Huh? What's that," asked Leomon.
"Its true. In fact, Cody felt his energy leaving his body when one of those artificials touched him," Nefertimon explained.
"So these things absorb energy? That must be why Omega X has been tiring out so easily."
Omega X goes flying up and phases right behind Elfmon. Elfmon turned around and goes to punch him. But Omega X twists to the side and maneuvers away from Elfmon's face on assault. Omega X jumps up and nails a spin kick to the side of Elfmon's head. Elfmon goes falling down into the ground causing the ground around him to cave in. A huge explosion took place which caused tons of rubble to fall on the fallen artificial. Omega X was hovering up and slowly catching his breathe. Now he was quickly tiring out than before, which is very abnormal since Omega X trained himself not to use so much energy when using new techniques. Something was holding him back.
"Wow! Way to go, Tai," Sora cried out.
"He's done. There's no way he can continue on after getting hit like that," said Davis, "Omega X might just declare himself the winner by knockout!"
"Lets hope that you're right about that one, Davis," TK said.
"If he isn't done, then I don't know what will take that thing down," replied Kari, "Tai, you better not let your guard down."
Omega X looked down at the fallen rubble while catching his breathe. He not only felt his energy depleting but his life force as well. He felt very strange and couldn't explain the problem that was causing him to lose this much energy in a short amount of time. Omega X looked down once again and shock came over his face. What he saw was unbelievable. Even he couldn't believe it. The other Digi-Destined were just as shocked as well.
"Ugh! No way! That's just impossible," Yolei cried out.
"He's up," Ken said.
And they were right. Elfmon had risen from out of the fallen rubble as he looked up at the sky and up at Omega X.
"Man! If Omega X hit me like that, I would be a goner for sure," Garudamon said, "What are these things made out of anyway?"
Smirks came across the faces of Ice Ladydevimon and Funkymon at the sight of their comrade gaining his second wind.
Omega X slowly was catching his breath as he began to collect some more energy for his next attack. He powered up and cupped his hands together. A ball of energy was forming in the palm of his hands.
"Terr-a…"
The Digi-Destined looked on to see Omega X powering up for his next attack. They looked on and hoped that this next attack would put the evil artificial away for good. Would it be enough to destroy him, or would it fail? They will just have to find out by seeing the attack for themselves.
Omega X pulled his hands back as the energy ball got even bigger. At the same time, he felt pain building up throughout his own body. He cried out as his body started to give off an orange aura glow. Elfmon looked up and watched his adversary power up his next attack.
"Terra… Beam!"
Omega X pushed back his hands and released a large wave of energy. He directs it towards Elfmon and concentrates on its power. Elfmon looks up and watches as the beam quickly comes towards him. The other artificials were becoming quite concerned and felt the power of the energy beam. They feared for the worst for Elfmon. However, a smile came across the face of Elfmon as he held both of his hands out and caught the energy beam with ease. Elfmon started to absorb the large energy beam through his hands. Omega X stopped his momentum and his energy blast. As soon as he did that, Elfmon sucked up all of the energy through his hands. Omega X couldn't believe his own eyes. His own attack was sucked away through Elfmon's hands.
The Digi-Destined were even more shocked at what they just saw. That was one of Omega X's most powerful attacks and this artificial was able to absorb with ease through his own hands. The artificials were quite impressed and knew that Elfmon would use that energy to his own advantage.
"He… He absorbed it," Davis said.
"Impossible," replied Kari.
"Yes… Cody was right… They do absorb energy," said TK.
"Taichi! Don't use anymore of those attacks! They absorb energy through their hands! You understand," Leomon cried out.
"What?! Impossible. How could they do that? That's just not possible," Omega X said, "Damn. This is going to be a lot tougher than I first thought. They can absorb energy. Now what am I supposed to do?"
"Ha! Ha! Yes! Now Elfmon can regain all of that momentum that he had lost just a while ago. It is only a matter of time before he defeats Taichi and destroys the rest of those annoying pests! Yes! Yes! The mighty Omega is history,"Funkymon thought to himself.
Elfmon goes flying right at Omega X. He watched as Elfmon was throwing in rapid punches. Omega X managed to maneuver away but he felt his entire body's energy depleting. He was quickly losing breathe which allowed Elfmon to deliver a knee to the gut of Omega X. Elfmon phased right behind Omega X and nails him with fists to the back of his spine. Omega X goes flying back but he managed to stop himself. When he turned around, Elfmon met him with a punch to the face. Omega X goes flying back and isn't able to stop himself. Elfmon phases right above Omega X and shoots out beams. The beams nail Omega X right in the chest, which causes him to fall to the ground.
Omega X stops himself yet again and this time he manages to use the last of his energy to levitate to the ground. He placed his hand over his neck and was slowly losing his breath.
"Damn! What the hell is wrong with me? I feel like I'm dying… but from what… and I'm losing breath… That's just not normal for me…"
Suddenly, Ken had just remembered something and turned towards the others.
"I just remembered something! The D-Virus! He must have contracted it!"
"Huh? How do you know that?" asked Yolei.
"No he's right! Look! He's holding his neck! We saw that happen to Cody as well," said TK.
"He told us that an injection comes out of the artificial's hand and the injection process takes place within a blink of an eye," replied Kari.
"No! Tai! You and Agumon have got to hang on," Sora cried out.
"Perfect. Now the D-Virus shall take effect upon Omega X internally. Elfmon should collect more of his energy and we should be done with him. I never imagined it would as easy as I first anticipated,"Funkymon said to himself.
Elfmon takes advantage of Omega X and nails him right in the face with a spinning back kick. Omega X goes flying back. He felt a tremendous burning pain erupting within his body. It was a painful sensation to say the least. The D-Virus was slowly taking over Omega X and infecting him. Now Omega X just realized that the D-Virus was within him. He knew that this would happen to him but he just didn't know when. Omega X slowly looked up and sees a fist cave in right into his face. Elfmon blasts Omega X away and sends him flying back into a nearby canyon. Omega X falls to the ground while catching his breath. Elfmon hovered down to keep the momentum going on his side.
"Alright! This is it! We better go in and save him as soon as possible! If he keeps this up, he's going to lose out," Leomon said.
"Right! Just hang in there, Tai!" Davis said.
The other Digi-Destined all nodded in agreement and were prepared to take attack. They couldn't stand to see Omega X being taken apart like this. If he continues like this, he will give out and the D-Virus will infect from within.
Omega X fell to his knees as he was slowly catching his breath and felt his energy quickly depleting.
"This can't be the end of me. Oh the pain is intriguing. I got to do something before I lose out on this battle."
The artificials were quite pleased with the D-Virus taking its effect on Omega X. It was only a matter of time before they could destroy the other Digi-Destined and successfully exterminate the humans with the D-Virus itself. That was Datamon's wish and they will carry out their master's dream.
Omega X faced the three artificials as he was trying to get onto his feet. But the pain throughout his whole body was keeping him down. The evil trio watched him one like vultures about to swoop down for the kill.
Omega X held his chest as he started to lose large amounts of oxygen within his body. He felt as though a plastic bag had covered his face and was cutting off all of the air supply. Even worse, he felt as though something was burning in his chest, but not chest pains. More like fire about to burst through his chest.
"Damn. I'm dying. It must be the D-Virus, but how did I contract it? I was being so careful…"
The artificials watched on like hungry predators about to go in for the kill. Omega X could barely get to his own feet.
The Digi-Destined feared for the worst as far as Omega X's condition was concerned.
"Digi-Destined. Omega X isn't going to last much longer. If he keeps this going too long, there is a good chance but he will lose him. We can't afford that to happen," said Leomon.
The Digi-Destined wanted to help Omega X but they could risk getting infected themselves. Kari couldn't stand to see her own flesh and blood suffering from such a deadly predicament. She looked over to Nefertimon. She glared to Kari and nodded.
"Don't you even think about going out there yourself," TK said, "There's a good chance that you will get infected as well."
"But we can't just leave my brother out there for that fat freak to go rough shot all over him! Besides, he needs our help! That D-Virus is attacking him from within!"
"If we want to bring him back, we will do this together. You don't have to do it alone."
Kari looked out and concern came over her over the fact that she might lose her own brother out in the battlefield. No telling how long it will take for the D-Virus to finally put Tai away for good.
"You have done an excellent job, Elfmon," replied Funkymon, "Now it is time that we finish them off once and for all. Elfmon if you will. Absorb all of his energy.
Elfmon nodded and walked on over towards the fallen Omega X. Omega X got to his feet while clutching his chest. He couldn't even lift his arms up because of the pain that he was suffering in his chest. The D-Virus seems to have paralyzed his body as well. This wouldn't be a good thing if he looks to defend himself against Elfmon's attacks.
Elfmon flies right at Omega X and quickly phases out. Omega X turns to shoot out a blast but he was caught by surprise as Elfmon appeared in front of him. Omega X tries to throw in a punch but Elfmon easily twists to the side and nails him right in the gut with two closed fists. Elfmon shoots out a blast and sends Omega X flying back. Omega X goes flying back and hitting the ground.
"That's it! I got an idea! We'll use the power of our D-3's and digivices to restore some of his strength," Sora said, "I know it sounds crazy but lets try it!"
"You got a point. Alright yall, hold up your D-3's!"
The Digi-Destined all nodded in agreement. Sora, Kari, TK, Davis, Ken and Yolei all held up their D-3's and digivices. The powers combined into one beam and went straight to Omega X. Omega X felt his energy slowly being restored to him. But no matter how much power he will receive to restore his power, it will still not restore his health. That was most important to Omega X at this moment of time.
"Thanks you guys… This shall do nicely… I should be able to hold them off a little longer"
Funkymon could only chuckle as he saw what just happened.
"We are very well aware of the powers of your digivices and your D-3's. Yes, they are quite a resourceful item. And they may have restored your friend's power but it will be enough with the D-Virus infecting his entire body. You idiots, now there is no way Omega X fall recover! Elfmon, please demonstrate!"
Elfmon walks up and shoots our two beams from his eyes. He sends them straight at Omega X. They hit the ground around Omega X and he was still able to dodge those eye beams. Omega X flies out of the way but not without enduring a lot of tremendous pain at the same time. Omega X flies up into the air but not until he is met with an uppercut to the jaw out of nowhere. Elfmon had now increased his speed ever since absorbing Omega X's last attack. Elfmon then follows it up with a hard knee to Omega X's stomach and then hits him hard in the back of the head. Omega X goes falling down into the ground as a result of his very devastating hit from the artificial. Elfmon looks down in satisfaction.
Omega X was down and out. Elfmon hovered down slowly just to be careful and to make sure that Omega X doesn't recover within the last second to attack. Omega X manages to get his arms up and struggles to get to his feet.
"That power boost isn't even working," Kari exclaimed.
"What do you? It works just about every time," Davis said.
"That's just it! We have to give Tai the medicine but we left it with Izzy! We didn't think we would need it," replied Kari.
"That's it. We have to get Omega X out of here and to give him the antidote. Just do anything to get him away from this battle. He won't last much longer here," Leomon said.
"But first, we have to get him away from the artificials and that one is just really taking him apart," Yolei said.
"Then we're just going to have to fight through him and bring Tai and Agumon to safety," Ken said.
Elfmon floats over Omega X and starts hammering him in the back of his spine with devastating elbow shots. Omega X cried out in tremendous pain, which led to Elfmon delivering more elbow shots to the back. When Omega X faced Elfmon, he got punched right in the face. Omega X sprawled out on the ground while losing more energy and health supply at the same time. His vision started to go blurry and was about out of it. Omega X tries to go flying up to help recover himself but Omega X phases out of nowhere and delivers a painful-looking elbow shot to the chest of Omega X. The fused warrior got some of his last air supply knocked right out of him. Omega X goes flying down as he began to cough out a load of blood. Elfmon goes flying down and delivers another elbow shot into the gut of Omega X. This caused him to go flying down and crashing down into the ground. As a result of his fall, it left a deep crater and Omega X looked just about out and nearly died.
Elfmon goes hovering down towards the crater and looked down. He saw Omega X glowing an aura of orange light. Omega X then began to split apart into two halves of light. Omega X had now de-evolved back to Agumon and Tai. They had lost large amounts of power and both were too weak to even move.
"Uh no! They're back to being Tai and Agumon," TK said, "This is not good."
"His energy level has decreased and he isn't able to recover. We must go down and help him," replied Pegasusmon.
"That's enough I can stand!" replied Leomon.
"Lets move out gang," Davis cried out.
"Now its time to take the last of their energy. Starting with Taichi. Elfmon, if you will."
Elfmon nodded and did as Funkymon had told him. Elfmon looks over to the fallen boy and hovers above him. Tai began to move about just barely. He couldn't even move on muscle. To make matters even worse, he couldn't even open his own eyes. Elfmon then flew right down on Tai and sat on him. Tai cried out in tremendous agony and pain. Not only was he hurting from the D-Virus but also the weight being compressed on him from Elfmon simply sitting on him. Elfmon pins Tai's arms down and his sensors begin to scan Tai's entire body. He felt a very strong energy just within him.
"Now. I shall take your energy," Elfmon said in a robotic tone.
Tai gagged out blood as he looked up to see Elfmon raising his hand and grabbed Tai by the throat. But instead of choking him, he used his absorber on the palm of his hand to being collecting as much energy from Tai as possible. The artificial had found the source of power that was once the crest of courage within Tai and he began to absorb that energy into his being.
Agumon tries to go over and help his partner but he couldn't even move one inch of his body. He could barely open his own eyes, which was not very good at a situation such as this. Agumon feels helpless for not even making a save for Tai, but what more could he do? He was also infected by the D-Virus as well.
Elfmon simply smiles as Tai's energy began entering his artificial body. His power supply was taking in large quantities of the energy and was using it to his advantage.
"That's it! He's in trouble! We're moving in," Leomon growled.
Leomon and the digimon all headed into the battle grounds to stop Elfmon from absorbing energy from Tai. But they had no clue that someone would be there to stop them at the moment, yes it was both Ice Ladydevimon and Funkymon. They both appeared right in front of the charging digimon as a sort of wall.
"You six shall stay put! Unless of course, you want to end up like Taichi," replied Funkymon.
"And you don't want to even want to try challenge our power," Ice Ladydevimon said.
"Oh yeah? We'll see about that," Leomon growled.
The heroic warrior goes to attack Funkymon head on with his sword. But both artificials maneuvered aside as they shot out two pairs of beams and shot Leomon down. Leomon cried out in pain as he went flying down.
"No! Leomon!" TK cried out.
Leomon was now laid out on the ground with a wound on his right rib. The digimon angrily turned to face the two artificials.
"What the hell is your deal?! Why do you enjoy hurting others?" Xveemon asked fiercely.
"We chose too! How dare you ask us with such an inferior questions! You fool, haven't you even realized from both Taichi's and Leomon's mistakes," asked Funkymon, "And look where it eventually led them!"
Meanwhile, as they conversed, Elfmon was taking this chance as he continued to drain away more of Tai's energy. Tai could barely even move his own body and felt his insides burning. It was a very painful sensation indeed.
"No! We have to do something!" Stingmon exclaimed.
Elfmon held down his grip on Tai's throat as his body began collecting more and more energy as the time passes on. Tai was loosing his grip and his consciousness. Elfmon was having his way and in a short amount of time, he would have all of Tai's energy to make him strong enough to destroy the other digimon. But as he was about to gain the last of the energy, he felt something coming up from right behind him at full speed. A missile came out of nowhere and blasted Elfmon off of Tai. The missile sent Elfmon flying back into a nearby rock ledge. It exploded which caught the other artificials by surprise. The Digi-Destined all turned to see who it was and to their surprise… It was none other than Matt.
Matt ran up to the Digi-Destined with a smirk on his face.
"So you think you can just kill Tai and Agumon off like that? Ha. I'm the one destined to fight Omega X. And you three are done for. Right Metal Garurumon?"
"You got that right."
"Whoa! Matt! It's about time that you arrived," TK exclaimed.
Leomon sat up quickly and looked over to Matt.
"Yes. You were the one that pushed me away from that blast. Well actually Metal Garurumon did."
"Huh? But we didn't even see him push you away," said Yolei.
"He did," Matt said, "But he was so fast that even the human eye wasn't able to detect his movements. But that artificial managed to wound you no matter what."
"Matt, Tai has contracted that D-Virus. We're going to have to…"
But Matt stopped Davis from explaining any further.
"I know. I don't have to here you all repeat that over and over again."
Matt walks over to the fallen Tai. Matt crossed his arms and nodded.
"Tai. Tai. You're just as thick headed as ever. You were warned of that D-Virus. You knew those artificials had the D-Virus contained within them. But you still managed to challenge them. Look what you have gotten yourself into. Metal Garurumon if you will."
Metal Garurumon picks up both Tai and Agumon and placed them on his back. Matt turned to face the others.
"One of you guys better take these two back. They're going to need that antidote. Hurry he doesn't have much time left."
"Right Matt," TK said, "And I think…"
"Don't worry, I'll be the one who takes him," Sora replied.
"Are you sure?" asked TK.
"Yes. I'll be the one responsible for his safety."
"Alright, Sora. Make sure to take them back to Kyoto where the others are waiting," Kari said.
Metal Garurumon places both Tai and Agumon on Garudamon. Sora hopped on and gave a thumbs up to the gang letting them know they she is departing from them.
"Hey Sora! Make sure to take some of that antidote too. No telling how contagious the D-Virus will be," Ken said.
"Yeah. Good luck, guys."
Sora pointed out towards the direction leading to Kyoto and Garudamon began to lift off and fly away towards that direction. Elfmon jumped out of the pile of rubble and went to go after them. However, Funkymon cleared his throat and nodded.
"No let them go, Elfmon. They pose no threats to us now. We shall kill Taichi and his those three friends of his at the moment of our choosing."
"Now we shall have the pleasure on killing these brats," Ice Ladydevimon replied.
"Yes. Until then, we shall entertain ourselves by destroying the rest of Taichi's friends."
Matt turned towards the artificials with a smile on his face. Metal Garurumon flew down and stood at his side with a determined look. That determination made the artificials ponder of Matt's digimon.
"Um, guys. Now I think it's the time to move out and think of a good plan of action," Yolei said.
"What are you talking about?! Are you crazy, if we leave, then those three are going to go on a killing spree like they did in Kyoto. Is that what you really want," Davis asked frantically.
"Not for good. Just until Tai gets better, ok? We need him to win this battle. After all, everybody is supposed to die except for TK in the battle against the artificials in Dimitri's time."
"Well this isn't the future and we're going to change our destinies," TK replied, "We shall win this battle, no matter how tough it gets."
"TK is right. We have the power to change our future. It doesn't have to end up the way Dimitri's did," Kari said, "He believes that we are able to change the future and we will do our best in defeating these three."
"And that we shall do," Ken said, "My brother would want us to win this battle so our futures can remain in peace."
Elfmon looks towards Matt and then to Funkymon.
"Funkymon, I think I should be the one to finish off Yamato and his digimon, yes?"
"Elfmon. You are becoming very greedy today."
"Yes and not letting us have any fun," Ice Ladydevimon replied.
"Very well then. You can have your way with him," said Funkymon, "But the others belong to me and Ice Ladydevimon."
Elfmon nods to them and the faces Matt. He gets into a fighting stance and displays his hand absorber device. Matt could only smile with Metal Garurumon standing at his side.
"We've been watching your fight with Tai and Agumon. I must say. We're impressed with your abilities. But of course, you had to absorb his energy to use at your advantage. You also had to inject him with the D-Virus, it doesn't surprise that you would have taken such an advantage. Because you know damn well that you could have been beaten within a heartbeat."
"Is that so? You might think you know every one of my moves. But I know ever one of your digimon's attacks. Oh yes, I know each of your abilities and digivolutions."
"Oh is that a fact? Well, let me tell you something. How come you were so surprised when Tai and Agumon fused? I'll tell you why. It's because that idiot Datamon didn't detect the battles. That would include the battle against Burizalor. Your creator only managed to collect information from during the battles against Myotismon and the Digimon Kaiser. So, let me just say that we upgraded our digimon's powers and abilities. Something to which Datamon was unable to do for your artificial bodies. Now tell me, has a machine like yourself ever experienced fear?"
Matt clenches his fists as his body begins to strain. Metal Garurumon howled out and his body began to strain as well. Matt's body began to glow a blue metallic color and then his eyes starting to flash a white, color. Elfmon felt a tremendous energy increase coming from the two.
Even the Digi-Destined took notice and watched as the two started to come together. TK was the most shocked.
"No way! Is that even possible," Davis asked frantically.
"Another one?!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"Yes! He did it! Matt did it! Yeah," TK exclaimed.
"Metal Garurumon! Fusion shinka!"
Matt let out a loud cry as he and Metal Garurumon fused into one being. Metal Garurumon stood upright and pieces of his armor started to fade away. His wolf-like appearance had now given to a more human-like appearance. Spiky, blonde hair started to appear on his head and his eyes were crimson. A smile formed across his face. The ground all around him started to shatter and cave into the earth. Now there was a blue, metallic aura formed around his body.
"Metalla X!"
The Digi-Destined could only watch on in amazement. The artificials were just as shocked.
"No… Not him too!" Funkymon said.
Metalla X stands there in the sunken ground and in a giant hole. Rocks started floating up as a result of the amount of energy being given off.
"Whoa! Looks like we got two fusion warriors on our side now," replied Kari.
"But I thought you had to be like Tai to be one," said Ken.
"Afraid not. Now there is more than one way to reach this awesome status of power," replied Metalla X in a deeper voice. "You all really want to know how I became this way? Well it is pretty simple really. You see, my motivation was much different from Tai and Agumon's. My desire is to be the best and hell of a lot better than Tai. That was my true goal ever since we first went into the Digital World. But it required a large amount of training and perseverance."
Flashback
"It was during the three years of intense training that Gabumon and I had to overcome just to out compete Tai. But we needed to do more than just out compete him. We had to reach a new level of power and status. So, we went to the Digital World and searched all over the areas in order to seek the training room that Tai and Agumon entered during the fight against Burizalor. So we managed to find such a room on the Continent of Emeralds, a mysterious island found right off File Island's coast. Legends say that the most desirable of all warriors may enter to train. And with us having the desire to being the best, we easily entered the island and found the training room that we have been looking for. We trained for hours, days, and weeks. We spent one whole year there, as you could tell from our long absence in the real world. We had our breaks here and there but we kept on training until our bodies started to give out on us. But that couldn't stop us. We were there to train with perfection."
"But we also had to find another place to keep away from any distractions that will slow down our training. We decided to train on an isolated island called Yukui, just many miles away from the Continent of Server. And with no digimon to distract us, Gabumon and I trained. I felt my own energy increasing. I could even feel Gabumon's energy getting stronger. Even the simplest of moves required every will power that we had in every inch of our bodies. The only thing that held our bodies together was our desire to become even stronger than Agumon and Tai. Then one day, I could remember a large meteorite about to hit the island. If that had hit the surface, the whole area would have wiped us out. Gabumon warp evolved into Metal Garurumon. Together, we were determined to blast the meteorite away from the island."
"We thought we had everything under control but it was too great for even our combined strength to overcome. Eventually, we had to use every inch of our own power to push the meteorite back into the atmosphere. Even a mega like Metal Garurumon felt like crap after that."
"Then suddenly, something just snapped within us."
Matt looked up into the sky and watched the small meteorite collide. He looked down at the fallen Gabumon and anger started to overcome him.
"No! This isn't supposed to happen! We are supposed to be stronger than some damn meteorite! Ah!"
"Like I said, something just snapped and everything went blank. My body started to shake with anger. Gabumon shared my anger and my determined will to be even better than Tai. We shared the common bond to be the best. Yes, we may have friendship for each other but we have determination for each other. And that's what made the power within us click and as a result of that, we underwent the fusion process and become the friendship warrior known as Metalla X."
End of Flashback
"And then it happened. We became Metalla X, the next evolution in fusion! Yes our time has! Our time has finally arrived! Our powers have now officially come out of hiding! So in other words, the sleeper has now awakened!"
The artificials were growing quite impatient towards the long story that Metalla X was explaining the whole time.
"Ugh! All you ever do is talk, Yamato. You may have fused with Metal Garurumon, but even your combined powers aren't enough to defeat us. Please show our friend here what we're really made of, Elfmon."
Elfmon smiles and shoots out two beams from his eyes and sends them straight at Metalla X. The two energy blasts miss and hit the ground. Metalla X stands there with a smirk on his face. Elfmon flies up and shoots out two energy blasts at his adversary. He watches as they hit Metalla X and an explosion occurs.
"Yes. Got him!"
But as soon as Elfmon said that, the smoke cleared and Metalla X was still standing there unscathed. Not even one single scratch on his new shiny armor. Elfmon laughs hysterically and goes flying towards Metalla X with a fist being wrenched back. Metalla X gets into a fighting position in order to get ready to battle Elfmon.
With Tai and Agumon out of commission, will the combined force of Matt and Metal Garurumon be able to defeat Elfmon and the other artificial demons?
[Digimon Zero Two first ending theme "Ashita wa Atashi no Kaze ga Fuku" plays]
[Preview]
Funkymon: Impossible! How is he able to do this?!
TK: Elfmon doesn't stand a chance!
Metalla X: So, it is true after all Machines do experience fear. Time has run out for you, artificial.
Funkymon: Iceladydevimon. We must retreat and think of our next scheme.
Kari: We have to stop them! With my brother and Agumon both ill, the fate of earth rests on our shoulders!
Davis: I hate to admit it, but I'm not too sure if we should rely on Metalla X. It seems that he has let this new power go to his head.
Dimitri: What is this? This wasn't supposed to have happened. The Digi-Destined are still alive! Maybe it's not too late to lend them a hand!
Xveemon: Next time on Digimon Fusion, episode fifteen!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Secret's Revealed: More Artificials?! The Maniacal Laugh of Datamon!
Elfmon goes flying right at Metalla X with his fist wrenched back. All Metalla X could do is just stand there and smile. Elfmon wrenches back his fist and looks to punch Metalla X right in the face. Elfmon was becoming more confident since he felt that since he beat Omega X so badly that Metalla X would be no different. However, there was something that Metalla X was hiding and he wouldn't let Elfmon know what it is.
Elfmon punches Metalla X right directly in the face. Metalla X's head jerks back as Elfmon has a satisfied smile on his face. He felt even more satisfied with the fact that he was able to punch Metalla X so easily. Elfmon takes advantage and keeps punching Metalla X right in the face. This caused Metalla X's head to jerk back even more as a result of the mighty punches being delivered from the artificial.
Elfmon felt even more confidence now that Metalla X felt his mighty punches and were taking them in. However, Metalla X was the first to speak up.
"Just as I thought, your nothing."
"What?!"
Metalla X brings his head frontward as he faced Elfmon. A smile formed across his face, which made Elfmon a bit worried. Metalla X took in those punches as if they were nothing. Elfmon couldn't understand how Metalla X would not be affected by such hard punches to the face. It was not just one punch, but several rapid punches.
"Stupid robot. Do you really think you stand a real chance against a fused warrior like myself? Heh, your brain must be malfunctioning."
Metalla X smiles and brings his leg back. Then he sends his left leg and delivers a devastating kick to the gut of Elfmon. The kick left a huge dent into the artificial. Elfmon begins to gasp in tremendous pain as a result of the kick and spits out several pints of artificial blood from his mouth. Metalla X wrenches back and delivers a mighty punch to the face of Elfmon and sends him flying back. Elfmon goes flying up in order to make his next plan of attack, however Metalla X would have none of it as he phases right behind Elfmon. Elfmon turns around and gets met with a punch to the face by Metalla X.
As Elfmon goes falling down to the ground, Metalla X quickly phases down where he would meet Elfmon. Metalla X jumps up and delivers a devastating dropkick to Elfmon, which sends him flying back onto the ground. Elfmon goes sliding across the ground while Metalla X hovers down without even wasting an ounce of his breathe.
The other Digi-Destined and digimon were amazed at what they were seeing. They were seeing Metalla X totally dominating the fight against Elfmon. Elfmon hasn't even made Metalla X flinch one a bit. TK was even more shocked.
"Wow. All of that training with Metal Garurumon just has paid off. After all, their friendship for each other was the direct result of their fusion. And they're taking apart Elfmon as he were refuge."
"TK, did you see what I saw?" asked Kari.
"Yeah. From what I'm seeing, that artifical hasn't even made Metalla X flinch one bit."
"Ugh. He's got to realize that those things can absorb energy and inject the D-Virus into him at any opportunity," replied Leomon, "There is no telling when he'll become infected."
"No. He's got to be careful. He can't let his guard down," replied Ken.
Yolei could only watch the battle and say that Leomon might be right. No matter how much Metalla X will dominate the fight, he might just lose the war if he gets infected. This happened with Tai and Agumon, the same could happen for both Matt and Gabumon.
Metalla X walks over towards the fallen body of Elfmon and a smile comes across his face.
"Well, well. What do we have here? The ultimate tub of lard!"
Elfmon took offense by Metalla X's remark and jumps up quickly. Elfmon goes to punch him but Metalla X was quick enough to deliver a devastating kick to the face. Elfmon felt the impact and goes flying up into the air. Metalla X could only look on with amusement. Elfmon managed to stop himself in midair, but Metalla X quickly fazed right behind him. Elfmon turned to face him and growled angrily. A smile forms across the face of Metalla X as he cracks his knuckles.
"Getting scared yet, machine?"
Elfmon watched as Metalla X began to smile even further. Elfmon growls and goes to deliver rapid punches right at Metalla X. His punches were so fast that he looked to nail Metalla X right in the face. However, Metalla X maneuvered away so fast that Elfmon's punches couldn't even make direct contact with Metalla X one bit. Elfmon's punches were becoming sloppy and he wasn't concentrating directly on his adversary. Metalla X saw an opening in Elfmon and takes advantage by delivering a hard punch in the nose. Elfmon cries out and goes flying back down. Elfmon looks down at his nose and it starts to bleed profusely. Metalla X chuckled to himself.
"Ahhh, got an oil leak already?"
This even infuriated Elfmon even further as he sends out eyebeams towards Metalla X. Metalla X easily twists to the side and flies right at Elfmon. He delivers an elbow shot to the face. Elfmon retaliates with more rapid punches but they were becoming useless as Metalla X easily maneuvered each punch with ease. All Metalla X could do is deliver another elbow shot to the face, which sends Elfmon flying down into the ground below him. This fall caused a dent into the earth. A crater was created from Elfmon's fall. Metalla X hovers right down into the deep pit and sees Elfmon's lifeless body. He walks over towards it.
"You weren't even a challenge to me. You're a disgrace of a fighter. I'm wasting my time with such a useless machine as yourself."
Just as soon as he said that, Elfmon leaps up onto his feet and grabs Metalla X's arms. Elfmon used his energy absorbers on his hands and placed them over Metalla X.
"Ha! Now I got you! I will have all of your energy now!"
The other Digi-Destined took notice as they gasped in horror. Would they witness Metalla X fall in defeat with his energy getting drained from Elfmon?
"Oh no! If he absorbs any of Metalla X's energy, we're goners for sure," said Yolei.
"He should have known about this beforehand," Leomon replied.
"Hang on, its not over yet," said Pegasusmon.
"What do you mean?"
"Just watch and learn TK. Metalla X still has a few tricks up his sleeve."
TK nodded and watched the struggle between Metalla X and Elfmon.
Elfmon continued to have a tight grip on Metalla X as he slowly was draining away the fused warrior's energy. Elfmon felt his power supply getting refueled with pure energy.
"Yes. I have you. Your energy is all mine and I will never let you alone."
"Ha. Never huh? We'll see."
Metalla X jumps up and puts his feet into Elfmon's face. A struggle was now taking place. Metalla X began to push and pull on Elfmon while holding onto the artificial's hands. Elfmon struggled to bring down his adversary and drain the pure energy that he had in his being.
"C'mon, Matt! You can do it,"TK said to himself.
"Brilliant. He might have found a way to break free of the grasp,"Ken thought to himself.
"Man, I wish Veemon and I could do something like that. I wonder how fusion will work between us,"Davis thought.
Elfmon was struggling to hold down Metalla X but Metalla X would not have any of that as he struggled to break free. So far it has been going to Metalla X's favor.
"Well so far, I'm impressed. You're holding off more than you can handle, artificial."
"No! I will never let you go!"
"That's it, artificial! That's the way! Never say die!"
And with that being said, Metalla X pushes back on Elfmon's face and rips the hands right off of him. Elfmon goes stumbling back as his hands were ripped off from his arms. Metalla X flips over with the absorbers in his hands. Elfmon goes stumbling back into a rock wall. He looked down at his arms and they were bleeding oil. The artificial was now experiencing fear firsthand and he soon might have to witness his own death. Metalla X examined the absorber hands that he ripped off and tossed them down into the ground.
"So this is what you artificials use to rob people of their energy."
Elfmon looked on with fear in his eyes as Metalla X began approaching him.
"What's the matter? You're the one who started this whole ordeal and you don't want any part of it anymore? I mean you were enjoying yourself just a along ago, when you were sucking the life out of Tai!"
Metalla X approaches the artificial even closer, which causes Elfmon to shiver with more fear. Metalla X took notice of this and grinned.
"So its true after all. Machines do experience fear."
Elfmon began to look up the height of the hole and was beginning to climb up to escape the hole but he had no hands to grasp onto something to hold himself from falling. Metalla X began walking up to Elfmon even closer. Elfmon decided to use a more different approach as he leapt out of the hole and began running off like a chicken that got his head chopped off. Metalla X hovered from out of the hole and looked down towards the escaping Elfmon. Elfmon was running for his life and wanted no more of Metalla X. Without his absorbers, he is vulnerable and can't defend himself. Funkymon could only cry out in shock.
"No! That's enough!"
"Enough?! Don't be such a moron! It's enough because you're losing! Idiot! You came here to kill us and you don't want to finish off where you started?! I'll get back to you, but first I'll deal with your little friend over here."
The other two artificials could only look on as Metalla X began to power up. His body started to glow a blue metallic aura color as he held down one hand towards Elfmon. He aimed with a perfect target and smiled.
"Time has run out for you, artificial."
Metalla X was definitely strong and no even an artificial such as Elfmon was able to put him down. But the question was, did Elfmon manage to inject him with the D-Virus at the last second. Metalla X didn't feel an injection enter his body, so its safe to say that he wasn't infected, which was a good thing. Metalla X made Elfmon an easy target and charged up a large blast.
"Here it comes! I hope you enjoy eternal darkness for the rest of your pathetic life," Metalla X cried out as he charged up his beam even more. "Ice Barrier Beam!"
Metalla X sends out a huge, icy blast and it is being sent directly towards Elfmon. Elfmon couldn't even turn around and maneuver away. The blast caught Elfmon and he let out a loud cry as he exploded. A huge explosion occurred because of this. The other artificials would only look on with shock in their eyes. The Digi-Destined were just as shocked at the result. Elfmon was done for and there was no way he could have survived this blast. Metalla X looked down with satisfaction and watched as the smoke began to clear away. Metallic parts were seen scattered across the ground, including the head of Elfmon. The last of his life force faded as his program has being been deleted.
"Ha. Now we can give him a proper burial at the junkyard," Metalla X remarked in a cocky manner.
"Wow. Incredible, Metalla X was able to destroy one artificial," replied Leomon.
"And now we got two left to tango," Ken said.
"Right and we better not let our guard down with those two," Kari said.
"You know. I feel a lot more confident. I know we can beat these things after all," Davis said.
"Just a little butt whooping and we'll make their heads roll just like that one," said Xveemon.
"I don't know. We really have no idea how powerful those other two really are. We better be careful, they carry the D-Virus as well," replied Nefertimon.
"Amazing, the power of a fused warrior is just indescribable,"Yolei thought.
Metalla X hovered down towards where the other two artificials were standing. Ice Ladydevimon and Funkymon turned to face him with concerned looks on their faces. Would they meet their fates just as Elfmon met his?
"Your a lot stronger than we take credit for," replied Funkymon.
"But it is nothing that we can not handle. Your defeat is eminent," Ice Ladydevimon said.
Metalla X chuckled and said, "Oh yes. Your friend was able to take some of my own energy there for a second before I was able to stop him. Now here's your chance to try. So what do you two say?"
"How can he be so confident? What is he hiding,"Funkymon thought.
"Let me ask you this. What makes you two think that you'll do any better than he did," asked Metalla X smugly, "You two are artificials too. I bet your heads can roll as well as his."
"Idiot! We are far more superior to the Elfmon-model. Wiping you out of existence will be an easy tasks for models such as ourselves," replied Ice Ladydevimon.
Metalla X could easily tell that both artificials were really confident at what they just said. He could sense some fear building up inside of them as well.
"Your bluffing, my friends. Lets see what you two are really made of!"
With that being said, the two artificials looked up and flew away. They both headed out towards the mountainous areas just miles from the battlegrounds.
"Oh wow! There they go! Man, they're running!" Davis cried out.
"Damn it! They're getting away! Hey, you guys better stay put! I'll handle this on my own!"
"Hey wait a sec! You can't hold them off yourself! There's a chance you might,"
But Metalla X cut off Ken's sentence and replied, "No! I won't catch that stupid virus! Now we're wasting time! They're getting away and I have stop them!"
With that being said, Metalla X goes flying towards where the two artificials were making their escape.
"You think that he can take on those two artificals by himself?" asked TK.
"I don't know how to say this but he might stand a chance against one of them. But as for the monkey-surfer look a like, I would say that he stands little of a chance," replied Leomon.
"Huh? But you saw him flying away. It looked as though he didn't want any part of Metalla X," said Yolei.
"He was hiding his bluff so that Metalla X couldn't tell the bluff off," explained Leomon, "So he and Ice Ladydevimon flew off into the mountains so that they can sneak attack Metalla X at any given opportunity. So in other words, it is a trap."
"Then we have to go and stop him! He has to know beforehand that those artificials get to him," Kari said.
"Alright guys! Lets move out," Davis exclaimed.
They all nodded in agreement as the Digi-Destined hopped onto their digimon. They then all flew and headed out towards the mountain region. There they should be able to find Metalla X and the other two artificials.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Garudamon was still heading off back to Kyoto with Sora leading the way. Agumon and Tai were slowly getting infected and they were in need of the antidote now before something drastic happens. Sora vowed to get Tai over to get the antidote as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, Tai. We're going to get you that antidote and your going to need a lot of rest. I promise you that."
As soon as she thought of that, she was Kyoto just ahead of her. And the smoke that once covered parts of the city were now gone as a result of the fire departments doing their job, yet it will take a long while to repair all of the places that were left devastated at the wake of the artificial invasion just a few hours ago.
"Hmmm. I wonder where the others are at," Sora said, "Didn't they say they would meet us at the canyon ridges just miles away from Kyoto itself?"
"If I can remember correctly they should be," replied Garudamon.
"Hmmm. Hey there they are! I see Joe and Zudomon!"
Zudomon was flying towards them. Joe was on his back waving to Sora. Sora waved back to let him know that she has returned safe and sound.
"Hey, we're glad that you came back. Kari sent us an email concerning Tai."
"Yeah. He's in very bad shape. Agumon too. We have to get that antidote for him as soon as possible," Sora said.
"Yeah. Just bring him over to us. We're still away from Kyoto in the canyon ridges. Izzy, Cody, Michael and Mimi are still waiting there. So any word on the artificials?"
"Yeah. Matt and the others are taking them on as we speak."
"Matt arrived to help ya'll?"
"Yeah, and I left soon after that to take Tai over here to get the antidote. But we have to get him back to my place in a few hours."
"Well alright."
"TK and Kari suggested that I take a dose of the antidote as well. No telling if the D-Virus is contagious."
"Right. That's a good idea. Ok Zudomon, we're heading back now."
"Aww, but I wanted to kick some robot butt."
"Unless you want Sora to do everything herself?"
"Well alright. But next time, they're mine!"
Garudamon and Zudomon then headed off towards the area near Kyoto in order to meet up with the others and get back to Odaiba as soon as possible.
"I wonder how they're holding off those artificials so far," Sora thought.
**************************************************************************************
Back at the mysterious islands, the two artificials found themselves in a mountainous area in which they find a good hiding spot in order to keep themselves from being visible from the digimon.
"So, where shall we hide, Funkymon?"
"We're not actually hiding. We shall use this time to think of the next course of action. When they get here, we shall sneak up behind the strongest of the bunch and absorb their energy as soon as possible."
"Sounds like a plan. But they will find us eventually."
"I highly doubt that, since they can not sense our power levels. However, we are able to easily trace their power levels through our sensors. It shall be very easy."
"Alright."
Funkymon's sensors started going off as he turned around and picked up a very strong power level heading their way.
"Heads up! Metalla X is about to arrive. If we hide at this very moment, he won't find us and we shall take advantage and sneak attack him and absorb his energy."
"Great, a brilliant plan."
"Now we must conceal ourselves from the naked eye."
The two artificials both quickly phased out within the blink of an eye. They soon found the proper hiding spots that they were looking for. Metalla X came flying back and looking down at the mountainous landscape just below him. He was getting visibly frustrated with the fact that the two artificials could so easily hide themselves within these regions. Plus he was even more frustrated with the fact that he can't sense their power levels in order to trace them down.
"Cowards! Come on! Show yourself! If you artificials show fear, then you must have displayed shame as well. Ha! You call yourselves fighting machines! You're nothing more than a bunch of spineless scumbags! This is ridiculous, two artificials that are scared to die! What a bunch of low level pieces of trash!"
Ice Ladydevimon chuckled herself while listening to Metalla X ranting on mindlessly. Funkymon could only nod and sigh in disbelief. He couldn't believe how gullible Metalla X really is.
Elsewhere, the other Digi-Destined and their digimon all showed but they all split up in order to find the artificials much easier. Davis and Xveemon began exploring around the area that Metalla X was taking a look at.
"You see anything, Xveemon?"
"Nada. These rocky ledges are so dark to look under. Plus those buckets of bolts could have hidden themselves somewhere in which we can't see them. Plus we can't sense their power levels, which makes even more frustrating."
"I know what you mean. If I were you, I would be getting impatient too."
Davis looked up and noticed Metalla X hovering in the air. Xveemon turned to look up towards Metalla X.
"So be it! If you two won't come out, I'll blast you out!"
This brought shock to the faces of Davis and Xveemon. They were beginning to think that Matt was already losing his mind.
"Oh no! We're down here too! Matt no! We're all down here! Oh no! Oh no!"
"Please just do us a favor and not blow us all up," Xveemon begged.
Metalla X held out his hand and shot out a large energy blast after using his anger to power up the large beam. He sends it right down into the ground. Funkymon picked up a lot of energy from the energy beam that was about to hit the ground, so he decided to use this time to escape out of his hiding spot. Metalla X looked down and gasped when he saw Funkymon holding out his hands.
Funkymon cried out as his absorbers were held out. The beam came right at him and he easily caught it with his hand absorbers. The absorbers began to do their trick as they began sucking in the large quantities of the energy blast. Metalla X couldn't believe his very own eyes as he watched his own energy blast get sucked away into the opportunistic artificial.
Funkymon looked up at Metalla X with a big grin on his face. He began to laugh maniacally.
"Ha! Thanks for the charge! Fool! That's all I needed to recharge my energy! Ice Ladydevimon, come! We must leave!"
Funkymon quickly flies away using new turbo speed. Ice Ladydevimon quickly phased out and followed right after Funkymon to find herself a new hiding spot. Metalla X couldn't believe his very own eyes as he went off to follow them.
Metalla X quickly phased out from different sections of the mountainous area. He then found himself on a cliff ridge as he looked out in his surroundings. Now there were more mountains to search. The two artificials could be hiding anywhere and this certainly wasn't a good thing, especially for Metalla X.
"Damn! Where did they go?! They have no power levels, so I can't pick up their locations. Damn, this shouldn't even be difficult whatsoever!"
And little does he realize that right above him were the two artificials. Funkymon and Ice Ladydevimon could only look down at their adversary.
"Ha. He's an even bigger fool that we first thought,"Ice Ladydevimon thought.
"Now that I have collected enough energy from Metalla X, I can definitely use it to my advantage when I get my hands on the other Digi-Destined. Heh. Heh."
The two artificials quickly phased out from their location and quickly flew past several mountains to find themselves yet another new location for them to hide in. Funkymon looked across his surroundings and felt much safer. Suddenly, his sensors started to go off.
"Hmmm. I wonder why my sensors are going off at this moment. Maybe they have picked up some sort of energy source,"Funkymon thought to himself.
He looked down and saw TK with Pegasusmon. A smile formed across his face while looking down at the boy and his armored digimon.
"Hmm. It's Takeru. I wonder if he knows where I am hiding, specifically."
Ice Ladydevimon's sensors started going off. She turned around and looked down to see Kari with Nefertimon. She could only nod her head and smirk.
"Oh, its only Hikari with that feline menace at her side."
Funkymon's sensors started to go off yet again as he turned around saw Leomon standing on top of a ridge.
"Well if it isn't Leomon. He should be one of the strongest of the bunch."
Ice Lady Devimon looked down at another location and saw Davis with Xveemon at his side.
"Daisuke. He's also here. That's good, his digimon should have enough energy I can steal."
Funkymon looked down and saw Ken walking down with Stingmon flying by his side.
"Ah, yes. Ken Ichijouji. His Stingmon should have more than enough for me."
Ice Ladydevimon turned around and looked over on the other side of the mountain ridge. She looked down and saw Yolei walking. She then looked up to see Aquillamon flying around to where Yolei is searching.
"Perfect, another one of those new children are here as well."
"Excellent, they are all here. This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of this situation and absorb their energy, each of them! Then I shall become the most invincible warrior that this planet as ever seen. Oh Datamon, how you could have seen this glorious day now!"
"So, shall we go in for the attack?"
"Yes and I have the perfect choice for us to steal some energy from?"
"Any bright ideas?"
Funkymon pointed towards Leomon, which brought a smile to the face of Ice Ladydevimon.
"Brilliant. We shall get Leomon frits then."
"And then the children themselves should be no problem for us.
As soon as they did that, they each held out their hands and revealed the deadly palm absorber as they plan to absorb more energy for their own selfish purposes. Evil grins and looks came across the face of the two artificals as they prepared for their next attack.
The digimon and the Digi-Destined were searching the entire area in search of the two escaped artificials. They checked every crevice, rock ledge and hidden underground pits. But to no avail, they were unable to find any traces of the two artificials. It would definitely be much more difficult if they couldn't even sense their power levels.
"Anything yet, Nerfertimon?"
"Not yet Kari. I can't even pick up their power levels. And we know for a fact that these artificials contain no energy levels for us to trace."
"Yeah. TK, where do you think they could be hiding?"
"I don't know for sure, but I do know that they're probably scheming for a sneak attack with our guards down."
"Yeah! That's definitely playing dirty! Though we know bad guys always like playing dirty."
"That is true. So we better keep our eyes peeled."
Elsewhere, Ken and Stingmon were searching throughout some fallen rubble. Stingmon picked up several rocks and tossed them aside.
"You better watch where you throw those things."
"Sorry. I better watch my own strength. I could accidentally crush somebody with these rocks."
"Ken! Stingmon!"
Ken looked up to see who had called his name. He saw Yolei waving over on top of Aquillamon.
"I think its best that we take a look at things from the air," she said.
"That's a good idea, Yolei. C'mon Stingmon, I need a lift."
Stingmon picks up Ken and flies over to where Aquillamon was waiting.
"Did you find anything yet, Yolei?" asked Ken.
"Not a single thing. Those artificials could be hiding anywhere. If our digimon can't even trace their locations, then we're out of luck."
"In fact, these things have no energy levels. So we can't pick up their presence," Aquillamon said.
"Well, we might as well be out of luck if we're unable to find them. What if they escaped and decided to terrorize another city of innocent people," said Ken.
"We won't allow that to happen, Ken. I can promise you that," replied Yolei, "You have my word. We'll get these things."
Ken looked out into the landscape and began thinking of how cruel the artificials were when they killed those innocent people. He began to picture his own brother's death. His eyes go widen and his mouth about to drop. Yolei took notice of this and was starting to worry.
"Ken, what's the matter?"
"N… Nothing…"
"No. There's obviously something wrong. Did you find one of those artificials?"
Stingmon looked down at Ken and wanted to question him.
"Ken, what's the matter?"
Ken shook the cobwebs out and became focused on the mission once again. He got out of his momentary trance. He looked up at Stingmon.
"Just thinking of something. Now lets put our focus on the artificials. Keep your eyes open and holler when you see them."
***************************************************************************************
Funkymon looked out for any of the Digi-Destined and looked to see if it was safe to come out of hiding. He saw no one patrolling the area. He nodded to Ice Ladydevimon and waved over to her as a signal to come out of hiding. She nodded and flew right out of the hiding cavern.
"Are they around?"
"Yes but they are far from our location. However, we better not underestimate their abilities. Elfmon paid the price when he fought Metalla X."
"Yes, but who shall we gather energy from, Funkymon?"
"Hmmm. Hold on just a moment. If I can pick up some nearby energies."
Funkymon shut his eyes and began scanning the entire area using his sensors. He picked up several energy levels. And there was one close by. It belonged to Leomon.
"Well, what did you find, Funkymon?"
"Leomon. He's nearby."
"Leomon? Are you sure?"
"Affirmative."
"So, which one of us gets him? I mean, one of us can easily gather a whole lot of energy from him."
"I'll be the one that gets Leomon. You go find Metalla X. He maybe strong but you have an advantage since he is unable to sense your energy level."
"Right. You do be careful."
"I will."
Funkymon turns towards where Leomon was hovering by. He hid behind several boulders. Leomon was looking for the artificials but little did he realize that he was the one who was being watched. Funkymon was right behind Leomon without the brave warrior knowing.
"Yes. Once I take his energy then, I'll easily destroy the others and that leaves me with Metalla X."
Elsewhere, Metalla X was hovering over the mountainous region. Little did he realize that he wasn't the only one being stalked? Ice Ladydevimon was just near him.
"Insolent fool. Your energy will be mine. Don't worry, it will be quick and painless."
Leomon was about to make his next move until he felt something flying at him from behind. He tried to maneuver away but Funkymon quickly latched himself onto Leomon. He placed his absorber over Leomon and covered his mouth tightly.
"Ha! I have got you now, Leomon! Soon, all of your energy shall be mine."
Leomon attempted to break free, however, Funkymon held his grip on tightly and began draining more of Leomon's energy.
"There is no use in resisting. You have no chance of escaping my grasp. Even if you try to break free, you will be helpless and your energy will be lost."
Leomon tried to struggle some more but he had another idea that came to mind. He decided to send a telepathic message to Pegasusmon and TK.
"TK! Pegasusmon! Come quick! I'm being held captive by one of the artificials! Hurry, he's about to drain my energy!"
TK gasped and looked over to Pegasusmon. They both nodded to each other and headed over to Kari. She turns to face them and noticed them with worried looks on their faces.
"Whats wrong, guys?"
"Leomon is trouble. He's being held captive by one of the artificials! We have to save him now," TK said.
"Right. You led the way!"
"Lets go, Pegasusmon," TK said.
TK hopped onto Pegasusmon as they set off to Leomon's direction. Kari and Nefertimon went to follow him.
"I better send an email to the others," TK replied, "Leomon may need more than just the two of us."
"Right."
While they were on their way over to help Leomon, Funkymon held his grip tightly on the heroic warrior and was collecting more than enough energy to suite his purposes.
"Just a little longer. Yes and it will all be over for you, Leomon! Ha! Ha!"
Suddenly, Stingmon came out of nowhere and used his Spiking Strike on Funkymon. The artificial goes flying back and hitting a nearby canyon wall.
Ice Ladydevimon goes flying right at Metalla X in attempt to collect his energy but Metalla X quickly maneuvers to the side. Metalla X jumps up and kicks Ice Ladydevimon right in the face.
"I don't think so, bucket of bolts! I knew you were coming, because I could sense your movements."
Soon, the other digimon arrived and they had the two artificials surrounded. Leomon was holding his chest and low on energy.
"Please, I need more energy," Leomon said.
"Kari! Lets use our D-3s to give Leomon his power back!" TK said.
"Yeah."
They both held out their D-3's and watched as two beams hit Leomon from both sides. But these beams healed and recharged his energy supply.
"Yes. I feel a lot stronger than before. Thank you."
"No! This can't be happening! I drained you of your energy!"
"Well your going to have to do much more than that to getting to job done, artificial."
Leomon got into a fighting position and quickly phased in front of Funkymon. Leomon wrenched back and nails Funkymon right in the face. Metalla X goes flying right at Ice Ladydevimon and hammers her away with rapid punches and kicks. However, the fused warrior was able to maneuver away from her attacks by simply twisting to the twist. This frustrated Ice Ladydevimon even more as she went for a spinning back kick. But, Metalla X caught her leg just at the last second and flips her over. Ice Ladydevimon goes flipping back and gets met with a uppercut to the chin. Ice Ladydevimon goes flying back as Metalla X phases right behind her. Metalla X nails a mighty punch to the face of Ice Ladydevimon.
Leomon goes flying right at Funkymon and delivers an elbow into his face, which sends the artificial flying back into a nearby rocky ridge.
"They're taking them apart. Looks like we don't have to worry anymore," said Yolei.
"And here I was worried this whole time. We had these two to do all of the dirty work," Davis exclaimed.
"Its not over yet, Davis. It will be over when those two artificials are gone," Kari said.
"Lets just hope that this will be the last of Datamon's sick and twisted games,"TK said to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the city of Kyoto, the chaos that was left in the wake of the devastated city was now beginning to clear up and the local services have been evacuating the city. The city was in need of many repairs after what the arrival of the artificials and the damage they have caused.
The little girl with the sock puppet was crying in fear after the devastating chaos, which ensued. A mother came running up to the girl as she shielded the girl's eyes from the graphic scenes. There were several dismembered bodies and burnt up homes. This certainly wasn't a sight for a little girl to even see.
"Is it over, mommy?"
"Yes, it's over."
"This is terrible… I'm scared…"
A family was taking another child away from the devastation. The boy was wearing a green cap and wearing a blue shirt with a cross on the front.
"What was that? It looked like one of those terrorist attacks."
Looking far above the devastated city was none other than the boy from the future, Dimitri. He looked down while riding upon his Pegasusmon. A look of worry came over his face. He felt that the battle was over and that the artificials have done them in already.
"Oh man. This is terrible. I knew something like this would have happened. It's my fault. Ugh. Maybe I showed have stayed with them to help them. Tai, you were the only hope for this world. But I guess this whole ordeal was something I had to handle on my own. I'm sorry…"
Just then, Pegasusmon felt tremendous energy levels over towards the islands and he looked over to them. Dimitri wondered what the deal was and decided to ask his digimon partner.
"What's wrong, Pegasusmon?"
"I can feel some very strong power levels over towards the mountains. Something big is obviously taking place. A huge battle."
"Battle? Ah! The Digi-Destined must still be battling those artificials! Awesome! Pegasusmon, lead us over my friend!"
"Right!"
Pegasusmon went full speed ahead as he headed towards the direction to the mountain island that the digimon were battling the artificials. Dimitri had thought that the artificials had already killed the Digi-Destined already but he was just as shocked to hear that the battle was still taking place. He would get there as soon as possible to aid Tai's friends.
**************************************************************************************
Funkymon got to his feet and looked up at Leomon. An angry look came across the face of Funkymon as he flew up right at Leomon. He throws in several punches, but Leomon easily maneuvered from each punch being thrown at him. Funkymon jumps up and goes for a kick to the face but Leomon twists to the side and nails Funkymon right in the gut. Funkymon cries out and holds his chest, which gave Leomon an opportunity to deliver a chop to the side of Funkymon's head. Funkymon goes flying back and tumbling down into the ground.
Ice Ladydevimon shoots out several ice beams at Metalla X but the beams missed contact with him as Metalla X quickly fazed out of the way. Ice Ladydevimon turned around and shot out more ice beams at him. Metalla X phases out yet again. Metalla X reappears in front of Ice Ladydevimon and delivers a chop to the side of her head. Metalla X then delivers two chops onto her hands and easily chops them right off. Ice Ladydevimon screamed in tremendous pain as she looked at her arms, which began to bleed oil profusely.
"Awww. What's the matter? Getting an oil leak already?"
"Damn you!"
Funkymon was slowly getting to his feet and looked up at Leomon with eyes full of rage.
"You will pay dearly for this, Leomon!"
Leomon got into a fighting stance and faced off against the trembling artificial. The other Digi-Destined could only watch on as their worries for the future began to quickly fade away. They were now gaining a lot of momentum on their side. Not even the artificials are even considered a threat anymore.
"If you want more of me then come and get yourself some," Leomon taunted.
Funkymon was more than happy to make his next attack as he shot out a blast. Leomon maneuvered away as the blast hits a nearby ledge and causes an explosion to occur. Leomon watched as smoke was beginning to form from the explosion that occurred. He looked down to see Funkymon coming towards him. He grabs Leomon as the smoke covered them, which made them invisible and difficult for the others to see what had just happened.
"No! He grabbed him!" exclaimed TK.
But as the smoke began to clear away, it had become clear that something else had occurred. And the Digi-Destined were surprised when they saw Leomon holding Funkymon by his arm.
"Wait a second, Leomon snagged the grabber," replied Kari.
Funkymon was struggling to break free of Leomon's grasp but the heroic warrior wasn't about to release the artificial that easily. He would make the artificial life form make for what he has done and make him suffer the consequences.
"Grr! You better let me go! Mark my words! I will have my revenge upon you damn children!"
"You know, you ought to learn something, artifice al. Your evil ways will lead you to your demise if ever cross paths with me. Just remember this, the more you hurt others, the more pain will be delivered to you from those that you have hurt. Don't believe me? Ask our enemies in hell."
Leomon pulls out his sword and cuts off Funkymon's right hand. Funkymon cried out in tremendous pain as he looked at his now injured arm. He looked towards Leomon and growled with pure hatred and anger.
"And you could have used this arm in good use. Ha! What a waste of technology Datamon used to create you."
Ice Ladydevimon and Funkymon were now surrounded by the digimon. They had no chance of escape. They knew very well that their fate would soon come until they could think of a good plan to escape.
"So, what do you say, Leomon? Shall we tag team on these pieces of technology waste?" asked Metalla X.
"You bet. I'm up for it. But leave me with the monkey."
"Fine, just don't get any of your energy absorbed. I don't want to waste anymore time on these weaklings."
"Fine with me."
Ice Ladydevimon was about to make her next move but then she was caught surprise as Metalla X quickly phased behind her and nails her with a spinning back kick to the back of her spine.
Leomon phases out and quickly flies right at Funkymon. This caught the artificial primate by surprise as Leomon delivers a knee to his face. Funkymon goes flying back into a nearby mountain ridge. Funkymon came tumbling down to fallen rubble below him.
"Yes! They're doing it! They're beating the crud out of them," exclaimed Davis.
"Yes! History is going to change after all! We're all going to go through with this without losing anybody," Kari said.
****************************************************************************************
Dimitri was looking down upon something that caught him by surprise. What he was looking down was the crater formed from the fall that Elfmon created. And he looked down to see remains of Elfmon. Dimitri's eyes were widened in shock. Something was obviously wrong.
"What… What in the hell is this? I've never seen this artifical before."
"Yeah. And I can't identify this thing."
"You're right. This isn't one of the artificials that killed Datamon. The artificials aren't even supposed to be in digimon forms."
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred in the background beyond the mountainous regions. Dimitri looked out towards the location. Pegasusmon picked up several strong energy levels over in that direction.
"Oh I'll figure this out later. Pegasusmon, lets head on over there!"
"Right!"
Dimitri hopped onto Pegasusmon as they flew towards the mountain region in which the other digimon were battling against the two artificials. But Dimitri wasn't so sure about this.
"Somehow these artificials had changed their appearances in this time and they're not in digimon form in my time. Either that, or this could be just a first generation with more coming along the way. I better let the Digi-Destined know about this. I never saw this coming."
They headed over towards the location of the Digi-Destined where they would tell them about the truth of the artificials.
***************************************************************************************
Funkymon was trying to attack Leomon head on with furious punches but he turned around to see Leomon flying right at him with his fist wrenched back.
"Here I am!"
Leomon delivers a devastating punch to the face of Funkymon, which sends him flying back into the ground.
Ice Ladydevimon turned to see Metalla X delivering a dropkick to her chest. The impact of the dropkick sent the icy artificial flying down to where Funkymon was laying.
"This doesn't make since! According to our calculations, Leomon was supposed to be considered the weakest of the fighters," Funkymon said.
"Well, your sensors should have been updated a long time ago. We have been training for the day you three would arrive. So we kind of took our time," Leomon said.
"Taking your time? What do you mean?!"
"I mean this. We have been preparing for you my friend. This whole three years was the time for preparation."
"Yeah, all of that hard work actually paid off," Ken said.
"Oh yeah. I know that dying can be such a bummer, and I don't plan on dying for the first time," TK said.
"I wouldn't mind if I had to grow old and die the old fashioned way," Davis replied.
"You got that right. I got retirement plans coming up," Xveemon said.
"So are you ready to surrender," asked Metalla X, "Or do we have to beat it into your artificial brains?"
"This doesn't make sense! How could they prepare for our arrival? How did they even know first hand when we were going to arrive,"Funkymon said to himself. "These digimon are a lot stronger than I first anticipated. Maybe it should be time to make our escape getaway."
Suddenly, the digimon felt a strong energy level heading their way. They all turned to see who it was. And to their surprise, they saw a Pegasusmon flying to them with Dimitri.
"Dimitri! You're back!" exclaimed Yolei.
"We're glad that you come to see us whoop the crud out of the scary artificials that you've warned us about," said Davis.
"Wow. So that's Dimitri? He looks so much like TK though,"Metalla X said in thought, "I wonder… Nah… Couldn't be… But he does have the symbol of TK's crest of hope on his jacket. Its pretty obvious…"
Dimitri looked down to the two artificials. A strange look came over his face when he took a closer examination of both Funkymon and Ice Ladydevimon.
"I see it but I can't believe it. Somehow these artificials are different."
The whole Digi-Destined group all gasped in total shock. They couldn't believe at what Dimitri had just said. This even caught Metalla X by surprise.
"Huh? What do you mean?! I thought these were the artificials that you warned us about," Metalla X cried out angrily.
"No… These are different. These artificials are much different from the ones that attacked my time."
"Huh?! Who's that boy?! I can't even get any information on him through my sensors,"Funkymon thought,"Whoever he is, this still doesn't look like good news. I'm willing to bet that he's here to help those wretched children! Perhaps it is time to leave and to return back to the lab. We're obviously losing our battle. Its time to execute 'Plan B'".
Dimitri looked down at the two artificials. The others were just as surprised as Metalla X.
"What?! You mean these aren't the artificials from your time?" asked Leomon.
"Oh man! That doesn't sound too good!" exclaimed Davis, "Not good at all."
"Crap! There goes my retirement plans!" Xveemon replied.
"Not the real artificials?!" asked TK.
"Then who are the real artificials?" Kari wondered.
What is this revelation the boy from the future speaks of? If these two weren't one of the three artificials that Dimitri warned the Digi-Destined about, then who are the real artificals? And what secrets does Funkymon have that our heroes aren't aware of?

TK: What?! These aren't the real artificials?! Then, who are these rejects?
Metalla X: You better tell us the truth, boy.
Leomon: We are curious to know.
Kari: Please, for our sake. The future is at stake here.
Dimitri: Al right. I should have given you more detail about them. They both look human and are not weak like these artificial models you've been facing. One looks like a human boy with black hair and the other is a young girl also with jet-black hair. What separate them from normal humans are their eyes. They're eyes are cold, lifeless and full of vengeance. They're the true killers of my future time. You Digi-Destined are no match for them. Not even a fusion warrior can stand up to them.
Metalla X: Ha! Nonsense! That leaves more of a challenge to me! I'll fight these artificials and destroy them with my bare hands!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
New Terror on the Horizon! The Nightmare Becomes Reality: The True Artificials Awaken!
The Digi-Destined looked over to Dimitri with shocked looks on their faces. They couldn't believe at what he just said. Was it possible? They didn't believe at first but were starting to become just a little more worried. Even the digimon were quite shocked to hear the bad news. There were more artificials along the way and which ones are the real ones?
"What? What do you mean these aren't the real artificials?" asked TK.
"I know for sure that these two here are not one of the three artificials that killed millions of people in my time," Dimitri said, "As you can see, these things have absorbers on them. The artificials that I battled had no hand absorbers."
"So, are you telling us that these aren't the artificials from your time?" asked Davis, "This sucks the big one!"
"Damn you, boy! You told us nothing but a pack of lies! Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Metalla X asked angrily.
"Hey. Give him a break, maybe in this time the appearance of the artificoals changed. After all, we did face three artificials right? I know I'm right," Yolei said.
"But do we know for sure if these are the true artificials that Dimitri was speaking of," Ken said.
"Well, wherever they are, those two down there know about and we will get their answers from them," said Kari.
They all turned down to face Ice Ladydevimon and Funkymon. They looked back at them with nervous looks on their faces.
"Curses! They onto me! I better make my hasty escape out of this predicament!"Funkymon thought.
"So, what shall we do, Funkymon?" asked Ice Ladydevimon.
A smile came across the face of Funkymon as he turned to face Ice Ladydevimon.
"That smile! I know that smile when I see it! You do have a plan right? Please, what is your plan in destroying the Digi-Destined?"
"My plan? You want to know my plan?"
"Yes! Please, you can tell me! Please!"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you now."
"Huh? Look, even if they know, it still won't make any difference."
"Yes, but there's just one small problem."
Ice Ladydevimon was getting very concerned and was about to question Funkymon's motives, but she chose not to. Funkymon speaks up again after a moment of slience.
"Because, I won't be needing your help anymore, Ice Ladydevimon. You are no use to me anymore."
"Huh?! You're not serious! I've been your royal servant, Funkymon! Please, let me have another shot at those ungrateful children!"
"No. They have gotten a lot stronger than the both of us. And if there's anybody that should leave this situation unharmed, it should be me. Since I have all of the plans back at the lab. My final plan in destroying the Digi-Destined shall come into fruition! And you are of no use to me and I bid my farewell to you, insubordinate."
"No! Don't!"
Funkymon held out his hand and a ball of energy formed in his hand. Ice Ladydevimon gasped at what she saw before her and decided to fly away in attempts to escape the energy blast that could possibly send her to her very own eternal rest.
"Escape is futile. May you rest in pieces!"
With that being said, Funkymon shoots out an energy ball and sends it flying towards Ice Ladydevimon. She attempts to fly faster but the energy blast comes within inches of reaching her. All she could do was let out a horrifying scream as the energy blast went right through her. Her screams sent chills down the spines of the Digi-Destined. They witnessed her destruction as she exploded into millions of pieces.
"Oh my god… He… He killed his own ally!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"But why? What is his motive?" pondered Ken.
"I don't care! I say we take him down before he tries to blow up somebody else! He must be stopped," cried out Davis.
Funkymon looked up and a smile came across his face. The Digi-Destined could only look down with shock across their faces. They couldn't believe what they just saw a while ago. Funkymon just destroyed Ice Ladydevimon with no regrets.
"Ha! You are now warned, Digi-Destined! Now I shall unleash my advanced artificial models, Jax and Sonja, to kill you all, once and for all!"
"Jax?!" Leomon exclaimed.
"And Sonja?!," TK said.
"Man! What does he think this is?! Mortal Kombat?!" Yolei cried out.
"What? You mean they were hidden this whole time without us knowing about it? Hmm, this is a lot more confusing than I first thought. And there's no doubt that Funkymon is none other than…"Dimitri thought to himself until he was cut off by the other Digi-Destined.
"You know what? Why don't you just release them," Metalla X said, "Go ahead. I dare you. More challenges is nice enough for us to show you our full fusion potential."
"No! Matt! What are you trying to get us into?" asked Kari angrily.
"Shut up. Go on! Go unleash your artificials. I'll just by my time. However, if you do not release them within a few hours, I will hunt you down and track you down myself. No funny business, monkey boy."
"Oh none whatsoever. And trust me, this will be the end for you Digi-Destined! I can fully guarantee you that!"
With that being said, Funkymon goes beam crazy as he starts blasting away at his surroundings in order to create a large amount of smoke clouds to easily blind the Digi-Destined for the moment being while he decides to make his escape getaway.
The maniacal Funkymon was firing blasts away and a huge cloud of smoke was beginning to build up during the scene. The Digi-Destined couldn't see through the thick cloud and were helpless to see right through it. Even the digimon had trouble, since they were now unable to see their enemy. They couldn't even sense his energy level during the whole fiasco.
"Damn! I can't even see through this thick cloud," said TK, "You guys, he's going to get away!"
"No, let him go! I want him to unleash those things. I want to see what they look like. From what I heard, they're supposed to very strong," Metalla X said.
"No! What you are doing, Matt, is very wrong," replied Dimitri, "You must not fight these things."
"Who asked you? Those two other artificials were fakes! I want the real deal," Metalla X angrily replied.
"Matt! Shut up! Your attitude is out of control," Kari said, "And I'm sick of it."
"Then do something about it. Unlike you guys, Gabumon and I have reached the level of fusion! And we will not rest there, we will exploit our full potential once we fight those artificials."
As the smoke cleared away, the Digi-Destined all looked down to expect Funkymon to be gone and not so surprisingly, he was indeed gone.
"He's gone! We have to find him as soon as possible," Leomon said.
"He's a long way from here," Ken said, "It will be almost impossible to find him any further from here. These mountains and forests could easily be hiding grounds for him."
"C'mon you guys! We have to track him down," Kari said.
"Hello! Don't you see that he's already gone! So there's no purpose in finding him anymore! So I say we just sit here and let him bring those artificials on over here," Metalla X said, "Then I'll be the one that puts them out for good."
"No! You can't underestimate their power! Please just listen," Dimitri said as he approached Metalla X.
"And weren't you the one who warned us about these things. And what I saw from them, I wasn't impressed. I had my way with those phonies. Now tell us, why didn't you tell us what the real artificials looked like."
"I'm just about fed up with Matt's new attitude. Ever since he fused with Gabumon, he's been a total egomaniac. I remember him being all calm and quiet back years ago. But this is getting ridiculous,"TK said to himself.
"Well, what? Are you just going to stand there all day?!"
"Hmmm. From what I seen, everything seems to be slipping out of proportion. I mean, let's face it. The three artificials that you guys were facing weren't the real ones after all."
"Then what do they look like and are you sure there were really three artificials?" asked Kari.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, and many miles from the location of the Digi-Destined, Funkymon was running down a long trail in the mountain ridges. He was now making his escape getaway into the far off island forest. And there he would find the location that he has been speaking of earlier ago. Yes his lab was within the forest and isolated from human reach.
"Ha! Those fools have no idea what I'm cooking up in my laboratory! It will be a matter of time before I unleash my two precious creations on them! And that idiot Metalla X will realize their true potential and the challenge will backfire right in his face! Yes! It is only a matter of time before I destroy this world! Ha! Ha!"
Funkymon jumped over several ridges in order to reach his location a lot quicker without any hesitations.
****************************************************************************************
Metalla X looked out towards a long trail and noticed some footprints that were made earlier by Funkymon during the huge smoke cloud fiasco.
"Perfect. I just found where he may have headed to," he replied.
"Where? How do you even know? We can't even trace these artificial's power levels," Aquillamon said.
"There's no way you can trace their energy," Stingmon said, "Its impossible. Even if you have reached the fusion level."
"Oh yeah. Ever use your eyes? They weren't there as decorations after all, we use them for a purpose. Look down that trail."
Metalla X pointed down the mountain trail way that leads down into a far off pathway into the island's forest valley.
"Well that's pretty obvious. I guess we should thank ya," Xveemon said.
"I don't need any thanks. We will follow his trail in just a minute, but just one question. Tell us who is the brains behind this whole artificial operation?" asked Metalla X.
"I'll tell you. I'll let you know on everything," replied Dimitri.
"I'm listening."
Dimitri began to look back to several memories in his mind and looks to use some sort of explanation to tell Metalla X. There is one thing that he doesn't know about and that is the artificial's true appearance and their creator.
"Alright. As everybody knows by now, the creator of these monsters is none other than Datamon."
"Ha. So it's Datamon. That scheming little piece of scrap metal managed to create some pretty strong fighters from mechanical parts."
"Yes, but that's not the full story."
"Alright, since we know the creator. Fill us in on the description of these artificials. In fact, we afford to make anymore mistakes as far as these monsters are concerned," Leomon said.
"Yes. I can tell you what they look like. I should have told you when I first met ya'll just three years ago. In case you're wondering, these two artific'als look like human beings."
"They're human beings?" Yolei asked frantically.
"Yes. But do not be fooled by their appearances. They may look harmless but their powers are very destructive and they seek nothing but chaos."
"Enough with the dramatic tales. Descriptions now," Metalla X said.
"Now there are two of them that look human. And to be honest, I have never seen the third one. The one named Jax looks like a young man with long, dark hair and a bandana around his neck. He looks almost like you, Ken. But it's his eyes that are different from yours."
"Different from mine? How so?"
"His eyes are cold and calculating. Just by looking into them, they will strike fear into your very soul. And he possesses no soul, which makes him even more deadly."
"And the other one?" asked Kari.
"Yes and the other one is just as evil. The Sonja model looks like a beautiful, young girl with long, raven-colored hair. She wears a vest with long pants. She's just as powerful and her eyes are just as soulless and cold as Jax's. And there's no mistake about it, they are very powerful and their power should not be underestimated. Not even the strongest of your digimon stands a chance whatsoever."
"Well that sucks!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"Ok, another question. Do these things absorb energy like those two other, Elfmon and Ice Ladydevimon? And do they carry the D-Virus?"
"As far as carrying the D-Virus, they do carry it but they rather use their destructive powers to kill whatever comes their way. But as far as absorbers go, they don't need it. They have an infinite power supply, which is unheard of from any kind of fighters."
"That's nothing but a pack of lies! Your telling us that these things can't run out of power!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"That's right and that's why I suggest that we don't attack until… Wait… Where's Tai? Agumon?"
"They were infected by one of those artificials. But I thought you knew," said TK.
"Hmmm. So they're still alive? For some reason, time is going by a lot more slowly here than in my time. This just doesn't sound right."
"He should be over at Kyoto by now. Sora took him and Agumon over to get the antidote for them."
"Yeah. I was just at the scene at Kyoto. Those things left a big mess. And I'm willing to bet that they were able to spread the D-Virus," Dimitri said.
"Then we are we doing standing around here for? Shouldn't we like go back and help those people," Davis asked frantically.
"Nonsense! I say, we go after those artificials. And if you want to know why I have so much confidence is the fact that Izzy was able to duplicate the antidote and the others are able to spread the antidote through some sort of chemical that spreads in a form of a cloud."
"Who told you all this?" asked Yolei.
"Izzy. He sent me an email before I came here. Now, we should be more focused on those artificials! So what do you say?!"
"But you just heard what Dimitri just said. Those things are like totally indestructible," TK said.
"Maybe so, little bro. But who said that we couldn't attack them. I say we gun for the new challenge and accept it along the way. We may have died in the battle against these things in Dimitri's time. But we, including myself, have gotten a lot stronger during these three years. And with me as the strongest, we can take on these new super powers!"
The Digi-Destined could only look at Metalla X with concerned looks on their faces. Leomon was getting pretty infuriated with his new attitude and wanted to tell him off in his face.
"But knowing I can handle these new challenges, I demand you all to stay out my way. I will fight these artificials and break them with my bare hands!"
Metalla X smiles and goes flying up into the air. He decides to fly over the mountain trail and follow the footprints left behind by Funkymon, so that way he could easily trace the secret laboratory.
"Now you said the secret laboratory would be on this island? Perfect, now I can find them and wait for them to face me."
Just as soon as he said that, Metalla X was about to fly away but then Dimitri ordered Pegasusmon to fly him up. The boy from the future confronted Metalla X.
"No! Don't go out there! We need Tai and Agumon for this! If you go and face them now, there is a good chance that you might not survive! Please! Get it through your thick head!"
"You know he's right, Matt. Maybe your overlooking the situation here,"Gabumon said to Matt in inner thought.
"Nonsense! I can handle this by myself! Now out of my way!"
Metalla X flies off following the trail left by Funkymon. Dimitri could only look on and sigh.
"You are being too difficult."
"Ugh! Man, how could Matt have changed this much," TK said, "The last time I checked he was on our side."
"I must admit though, ever since he fused with Gabumon to become Metalla X, Matt has been able to defeat one of the first artificials. Maybe he does stand a chance against the real artificials that are soon to be activated."
"No you're wrong," replied Dimitri, "He's not strong enough and if you want to know why. Its because, during my time, the artificials were able to kill him and Gabumon."
"Man, what you're telling from your own perspective, these artificials are a lot stronger than the phonies that we faced just earlier ago," Ken said.
"Yes and I just realized something as well. Something about that one artificial that managed to get away."
"What is it, Dimitri?" Kari asked.
Dimitri looked to the other Digi-Destined. They all stared at him and were about to ask another set of questions. They wanted answers. This situation has become more and more mysterious, which is making the Digi-Destined want to ask more concerning the artificials.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at Kyoto, the other Digi-Destined were all gathered into one area within the city limits in the countryside. Tai and Agumon were lying on the ground, while Sora and Biyomon looked upon them with worried looks on their faces. Joe was looking through Izzy's laptop and scanning some information concerning the D-Virus by collecting some blood samples from Tai.
"So what did you find out?" asked Izzy.
"Its worse than I thought. The D-Virus is actually eating away Tai's cells, which is making him and his body functions weaker," Izzy explained, "However, the antidote is actually helping a lot. It is creating new cells that will kill of the D-Virus and those new cells will replace those cells that were eaten away by the D-Virus."
"Umm…"
"Let me put it this way: the bugs are eating away the exterminators of Tai's system. Then the antidotes are a new pair of stronger exterminators that will kill off these bugs. Simple?"
"Yeah and your observations was quite understandable. Good work, Joe."
"Well thanks to your technology, we were able to duplicate the antidote."
Suddenly, Mimi and Michael came running back from Kyoto. They were panting along the way as if they saw something terrible.
"What happened?" asked Joe.
"You won't believe but people are getting sick in Kyoto but not only that but they are dying as we speak," Michael said.
"The D-Virus is having its effect on the people in Kyoto," Mimi muttered.
"Oh no! We better think of a way to spread the antidote. But it needs to be in a form of a cloud of some sort," replied Izzy.
"Don't worry Izzy. You can leave that to me," Tentomon, "However, I will need some help to load the antidote and spread it out."
"I'll be more than happy to help," Biyomon said.
"Perfect. We'll use our wings to spread them like wildfire. The antidote should be airborne and those infected people should also be cured within a few hours," Tentomon replied.
"Then, what are we waiting for? Lets go for it," Sora said, "And we better feed Tai and Agumon some more of that antidote. They're not looking good at the moment."
"Here," Izzy said as she handed a bottle of the antidote.
Sora took it and opened it. She pulled out a pill and placed it into Tai's mouth. Since he wasn't able to swallow it due to the loss of energy he has in his body, Sora pushed it down his mouth and made sure he swallowed it. She then placed another in Agumon's mouth and made sure he swallowed it. Then, she got into a praying position.
"Please get better, guys. We're going to need you to help beat these monsters. This world depends on us," Sora said in inner thought.
**************************************************************************************
Dimitri broke out of silence as he was ready to tell the Digi-Destined the identity of Funkymon. He turned to face them and cleared his throat.
"The artificial that you all encountered that is named model-Funkymon. Well, I just realized that it's none other than Datamon himself."
"Are you sure?" asked TK.
"Positive. I just have a feeling that it is he. I should have seen this coming. But I never knew that he would take the form of an artificial but it was pretty obvious. I thought for sure that the artificials had done him in."
"So, he would be heading towards his laboratory," replied Yolei.
"And that's why we should be going after him at this very moment," said Kari.
"Yes. I will go and follow my father. He went ahead first and I won't allow him to go into this battle alone. No, I will fight at his side! I won't let my father get killed!"
Dimitri's Pegasusmon de-evolved back to Patamon. Dimitri held out his D-3 and it gave Patamon the power to evolve into his champion leveled form.
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" theme plays]
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Then Dimitri's symbol of the crest of hope appeared glowing on his chest. It gave Angemon even more energy to evolve once again.
"Angemon shinka! Magna Angemon!"
"Magna Angemon! Fusion Evolve!" Dimitri cried out.
Dimitri and Magna Angemon faced each other as their bodies began to glow and connect with each other by some force of energy. This caused them to fuse together and transform into a new form. It was Angemon X.
"Angemon X!"
Angemon X flew up as he headed towards Metalla X's direction and towards the forest section on the other side of the island.
The other Digi-Destined looked up and they were clueless at what Dimitri just said. They were clueless at the fact that he mentioned to somebody as "father".
"Father? What? Did he say father? Who was he referring to," pondered Yolei.
"Ahhh! Now it's becoming a little more clear! Its obvious," exclaimed TK.
"Theres something you all should know," Leomon said, "That boy happens to be the son of Matt. And his mother is none other than Mimi Tachikawa."
The Digi-Destined fell backwards and gasped at what they just heard. TK and Kari were the most surprised.
"My… My brother gets married to Mimi?!" TK exclaimed as his eyes widened.
"Mimi and Matt's son is Dimitri… How cool!" Yolei said with stars in her eyes.
"Wow and I'm surprised to how their son turned out to be. He's not whiny like Mimi or self-centered like Matt. He's just right," Kari said.
"Plus. He was able to perform the fusion with his digimon partner," Davis said, "And I have yet to fuse with Xveemon. I wonder what we'll become."
"Don't forget about us, Davis," replied Ken.
"Yeah, a fusion between Aquillamon and I wouldn't be that bad. We be one, butt-kicking super hawk," Yolei said.
"Well now, don't get too excited," replied Aquillamon.
"I'm looking forward to fusing with you Davis," Xveemon said.
"Same here."
"You guys. Now is not the time to discuss this fusion theory," TK said, "Ok, so we got to follow those two. Plus, we can be able to find the secret laboratory."
"TK is right. There is no time to waste," Leomon said.
Just as they were about to make their move and begin their search for the getaway monkey 'bot, TK turned to see Kari staying behind. This concerned the young boy as he walked up to her.
"Kari? Whats wrong? Aren't you coming with us?" asked TK.
"Not with my brother in serious condition. I just don't feel right just leaving him. Besides, I owe him big time while he was looking after me while I was sick many years ago. He did it for me. Now it's my turn to look after him. Please, try to understand, TK. I won't go."
"I understand completely. Don't worry, whatever your heart feels, just go with it."
"Thank you, TK."
Kari pats her hand on TK's shoulder. She looked up at the boy's blue sparkling eyes and a smile forms on her beautiful face.
"Now, go get those artificials for me! Do it for me. Not to mention, for Tai."
"You have my word."
TK nods to Kari and walks off towards the others as he hopped onto Pegasusmon. They all headed off towards the direction where Angemon X and Metalla X were heading.
"Becareful, TK. Ha. You better come back, sweets."
"Kari? Should we be heading back to Kyoto," asked Nefertimon.
"Yeah. We're going to see my brother."
Kari hopped onto Nerfertimon and they headed off back towards Kyoto. Kari pulls out her D-Terminal and begins to type a message.
"I better email Izzy and let him know that I'm on my way over."
"Its best that way, Kari. So that we won't worry anybody for your departure from the mission."
"Tai will understand. He watched out for me while I was sick. Now I will do the same for my brother in this situation."
"That's why I call a true brother-sister bond."
"I just hope TK and the others will be okay when they do find the artificials. I'm sure they'll make it out al right. After all we have two fused warriors leading the team for now. Matt better not let his ego get the best of him."
Just after those thoughts, Kari finished writing her email and began to focus on pointing out directions for Nefertimon to fly towards Kyoto.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Metalla X was flying off across an ocean. Thoughts began to replay in his mind. He could hear Dimitri's warnings replay in his mind over and over again. They were angering him much further.
"Matt, why can't you listen to them? They are just trying to help,"Gabumon said in thought.
"I can handle this. Those fake artificials were weaklings. Soon I will get some better challenges. This way, I can fully show my true fusion potential that I'm looking to unleash,"Matt replied.
"But what if the artificials are just too much for even our combined powers to handle?"
"I won't allow ourselves to lose. I can't afford that!"
Metalla X began to focus more on the artificials as he shook all of those thoughts out of his head. Soon, Angemon X was flying right behind him.
"I can't believe that my young father is so stubborn and self-centered. How could Gabumon even put up with him sometimes?! My father is supposed to use friendship as his source of power. He was able to use the friendship of himself and Gabumon to become Metalla X. But he won't share his friendship with others! Is he so hell bent on being even better than Tai?! I just don't get him! But he's strong just like my mother said."
"What's the matter boy? Can't keep up far enough? Well your going to have to catch up a lot faster if you plan to reach the secret laboratory in time," Metalla X replied as he flew off with tremendous speed.
Angemon X growled as he powered up and flew right after Metalla X using the same kind of speed. They were now long gone heading towards their destination across the beautiful, blue oceans.
***************************************************************************************
Funkymon ran across the forests while he was heading towards his destination. He was on his way to reach to his secret laboratory. He was hell bent on making sure that nobody was following him, but when he looked up, he saw Metalla X and Angemon X flying by across the sky. Luckily, they were unable to see him.
"Shoot! They're within my area! But how?! There's no way that they would know the location of my laboratory! No it must be a coincidence!"
Just as soon as he said that, he looked up to see the other Digi-Destined, their digimon and Leomon flying by. A look of shock came across his face.
"Ugh! They are heading for my laboratory! Grr! I shouldn't have told them about Jax and Sonja! I must get there as soon as possible if I am to be successful. I must activate them as soon as possible! I can't allow myself to be defeated this easily! Sorry children, but you're not making it to my lab. You have absolutely no idea what I have in store for each and every one of you."
***************************************************************************************
Metalla X was flying over the great forest that covered the other section half of the whole island. He was on his way over to track down Funkymon, a.k.a. Datamon, and to find his secret laboratory immediately. He was hell bent on finding it before Datamon could get there first.
"Now if I were a monkey boy. Where would I hide my secret laboratory?"
Just then, he felt a tremendous energy following him from behind. A smile came across his face as Angemon X was not too far away from him. Angemon X could just remember everything that his young father had just said back at the mountain region. He was so angered by Matt's arrogant attitude.
Flashback
"Nonsense! I say, we go after those artificials. And if you want to know why I have so much confidence is the fact that Izzy was able to duplicate the antidote and the others are able to spread the antidote through some sort of chemical that spreads in a form of a cloud."
"Who told you all this?" asked Yolei.
"Izzy. He sent me an email before I came here. Now, we should be more focused on those artificials! So what do you say?!"
"But you just heard what Dimitri just said. Those things are like totally indestructible," TK said.
"Maybe so, little bro. But who said that we couldn't attack them. I say we gun for the new challenge and accept it along the way. We may have died in the battle against these things in Dimitri's time. But we, including myself, have gotten a lot stronger during these three years. And with me as the strongest, we can take on these new super powers!"
The Digi-Destined could only look at Metalla X with concerned looks on their faces. Leomon was getting pretty infuriated with his new attitude and wanted to tell him off in his face.
"But knowing I can handle these new challenges, I demand you all to stay out my way. I will fight these artificials and break them with my bare hands!"
Metalla X smiles and goes flying up into the air. He decides to fly over the mountain trail and follow the footprints left behind by Funkymon, so that way he could easily trace the secret laboratory.
"Now you said the secret laboratory would be on this island? Perfect, now I can find them and wait for them to face me."
Just as soon as he said that, Metalla X was about to fly away but then Dimitri ordered Pegasusmon to fly him up. The boy from the future confronted Metalla X.
"No! Don't go out there! We need Tai and Agumon for this! If you go and face them now, there is a good chance that you might not survive! Please! Get it through your thick head!"
"You know he's right, Matt. Maybe you're overlooking the situation here," Gabumon said to Matt in inner thought.
"Nonsense! I can handle this by myself! Now out of my way!"
Metalla X flies off following the trail left by Funkymon. Dimitri could only look on and sigh.
"Ugh! Man, how could Matt have changed this much," TK said, "The last time I checked he was on our side."
"I must admit though, ever since he fused with Gabumon to become Metalla X, Matt has been able to defeat one of the first artificials. Maybe he does stand a chance against the real artificials that are soon to be activated."
"No you're wrong," replied Dimitri, "He's not strong enough and if you want to know why. Its because, during my time, the artificials were able to kill him and Gabumon."
End of Flashback
Angemon X was visibly very upset with the way Matt handled the situation. To him, it was nothing but a game. He has absolutely no idea what he's going up against, in Dimitri's view.
"What's wrong, boy? Am I getting a little too fast for you? Should I slow down a bit?"
"No. But I'm going to do what it takes to stop you no matter what. You're under-estimating the enemy."
"No I'm not. I just simply want to get a good look at these things and possibly get a decent challenge from there. Besides, don't you want to see my exploit the full potential of our fusion powers? I never got a chance to try it out and now it is the perfect time."
"But your turning this into some like a game! This isn't fun and games!"
"Who said that it had to be a game? All I want is a little competition. Is that so much to ask?"
Angemon X was silent for the moment. He couldn't get through to Metalla X mentally. He was so thick headed that he is just simply letting words go into one ear and out the other.
"Suite yourself, boy. But I'm going to find that laboratory. You're more than welcome to come but I won't need your help. I'll fight them alone."
With that said, Metalla X flies off to the forest to get a better view. Angemon X goes to follow him to stop him at all costs from finding the secret laboratory.
**************************************************************************************
The other Digi-Destined were following along as the digimon were picking up two powerful energies heading towards the forests.
"Can you find them yet, Pegasusmon?"
"Yes. They are heading into the forest. We may not be able to catch up with them but we can easily pinpoint their locations."
"Ok, time out. Lets thinks this whole ordeal over," Yolei said.
The group stopped as they all gathered around. Yolei was now going to speak up again, the others stayed to listen to what she has in mind.
"I say we split up into let's see here. There are four of us. We split up into two. Ken and I will go into one direction, right over towards those neighboring mountains. TK, you and Davis look over towards the forest areas."
"Ugh. Why did you leave me with TP?!"
"And the name is TK," replied Yolei, "Besides, Ken and I are the brains in this little operation."
"Well I think Ken should go with me. After all, we're friends," said Davis.
"Well too bad. So are we going to stop arguing and proceed with the plan?" asked Yolei.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Don't worry, Davis. We'll find that laboratory. Its a synch," TK said.
Davis could only sigh and think about Kari at the moment.
"So what are we waiting for?" asked Ken, "Lead the way."
"Right. Make sure you two email us in case you find the laboratory or banana breath along the way," Yolei said.
The two boys nodded as they headed off towards the forest region. Yolei and Ken went over to their new destination towards the mountain regions in the west section.
"So, you think we'll be able to find that secret laboratory?" asked Ken.
"I'm not quite sure. I've never been on these islands before. But we will try our best. This island should be exact one where the laboratory may have been hidden."
"But how can we be sure that this is the exact island that Datamon hid his laboratory."
"Like I said, I don't know. We're going to have to keep our eyes peeled for anything."
"Aquillamon, I'm beginning to detect two power levels from here."
"Those powers must belong to Metalla X and Angemon X! Its pretty obvious and they shouldn't be too far behind."
"I hope Davis and TK will have much better luck than we will."
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, TK and Davis were looking around the forest in search for any footprints left behind by Funkymon.
"Ok, you see any footprints?"
"No because I've never seen monkey footprints before, TO"
"Um, its TK. Well, he can't be too far away. Monkeys tend to hide out in the forest. So we have to look much further."
Xveemon and Pegasusmon went to go look through the forest. Since, they couldn't pick up any energy levels from an artificial, they were forced to find the enemy the old fashioned way, with their eyes.
"Ugh! I'm getting pooped out for this! Man, I need to take a break," Xveemon said.
"But we to continue our search. Besides you don't want the others to know that you have been sleeping on the job."
"Um, no. Davis would seriously be upset if he heard me doing so. But, on the other hand, I bet you he's thinking the same thing too."
"Get your act together."
"Right. So it's a monkey they want. Well it's a monkey they will get."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Funkymon was running through the forests like a mad monkey. He ran as fast as he could to avoid being seen by the Digi-Destined.
"Yes. I am getting pretty close to the laboratory. It shouldn't be far from here."
Suddenly, Funkymon turned around and his eyes widened in shock. He could see Xveemon and Pegasusmon searching the forest. He hid behind a tree and was catching his breath. He couldn't believe his own eyes.
"Ugh! No! They're here! Well, this has gotten a little more interesting than I first anticipated. I should create a little distraction so I can lure them in and make my next attack."
Funkymon held out a hand and shot out a small ki-blast. He shoots and blasts away a nearby boulder. This easily caught the attention of the two digimon.
"I felt a tremendous force over that way!"
"Where?"
"Something just exploded just up ahead!"
"That's got to be monkey boy!"
"Come! We must find him and alert the others!"
"Right!"
They started out into the forest as Pegasusmon flew up to scout the area by air. Xveemon pushed through thick brushes in order to find the enemy. He looked up to see Pegasusmon flying around. As he looked back down, he saw a fist come out of nowhere and nail him right in the face. Xveemon goes flying back but he still managed to stop himself as he flipped over. Funkymon phases out right above him. He holds out a hand and begins to blast away several blasts at Xveemon. However, Xveemon was able to maneuver away and fold his arms into his chest. He then releases a large ray of powerful energy.
"V-Laser!"
Xveemon sends the blast right at Funkymon as it barely nailed him. Funkymon phases right behind Xveemon and deliver an elbow shot to the side of Xveemon's ribs. The dragon digimon went flying back and crashing into the ground. Funkymon knees him right in the gut and flips over onto a tree branch. A cruel smile came across the face of Funkymon as he looked down at Xveemon.
"Pathetic weakling. Did you really think you could catch up with me? Fool, don't you realize that my power far surpasses yours! Well, I've just about seen enough of you. So I'm going to put you out of your-"
Funkymon was then cut off as a boy's voice was shouting out in the forest. It was Davis and he was nearby.
"Ugh! That boy has come back! I better get to the laboratory as soon as possible! I will spare you your life, Xveemon, but only for this moment. Soon my artificials will destroy you all!"
Funkymon quickly flies off towards the forest in search of his laboratory. Xveemon was slowly getting to his feet.
"No. I have to tell Davis. He needs to know about this…"
Xveemon used the last of his strength to send a telepathic message but he stopped for a moment and looked out towards the forest.
"No! First, I got to find his lab! Then I'll let the others know!"
Xveemon headed off towards the forest in order to find Funkymon and let the others know about his location.
Funkymon found himself near a cliff ledge and he looked to a secret passage door just ahead of him. A smile came across his face as he fazed right towards it.
"Yes. I have won this little race. And now I shall activate my beautiful creations."
Just as he was about to open the door, Funkymon turned around and could see Xveemon in a far off distance. Xveemon could only look on as he found the location.
"Yes! I found the location! I better let the others know about this!"
"Ha! You are too late, Xveemon! I am about to unleash the artificials upon you all!"
"You guys! I found it! I'm right over in the center of the forest, right where the mountain shaped like a cloud is. I'm right over here and I found the secret lab!"
**************************************************************************************
Aquillamon and Stingmon were the first to receive Xveemon's telepathic message. They turned around and flew towards the location where Xveemon was. They didn't need to search since they were able to pick up his energy level.
"What is it, Stingmon?"
"Xveemon just sent us a message and said that he found the location of the lab!"
"Ah! Then Datamon must not be too far from it," Yolei said.
"We better get there as soon as possible. So I suggest everybody hang on tight," said Aquillamon.
The two flying digimon boosted their flying speed and went over towards their destined location within a matter of minutes.
Pegasusmon looked up and turned towards TK.
"Lets go. I just received a telepathic message from Xveemon. He found the location of the lab."
"Then that must be where the others are heading," TK said, "Lets go Pegasusmon."
"Hey are you forgetting somebody, dude?" Davis asked frantically.
TK and Davis hopped onto Pegasusmon as he flew up and headed towards the same location where the others are heading.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the secret laboratory, Funkymon rips off his mask and reveals his true identity as Datamon. He picks up a remote control and flicks on a switch. The lights turn on and he looks over towards two closed capsules. Datamon walks over towards them.
"Ah. At last, the time has come to unleash my two most diabolical creations. I was afraid to do this but those Digi-Destined leave me no other choice. Now they have pushed me too far. Digi-Destined, behold your doom has come!"
Datamon pushes the activation button on one capsule and watched as it opened up. Two hairs of hands came popping out which caught Datamon by surprise. Then, a young-looking boy sits up out of the capsule. He has long, black hair and a bandana around his forehead. He also had a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with a vest over it. This was the Jax model.
Jax looked over towards Datamon and nodded.
"Hello, Datamon. How are you?"
"Good. So your still functional?"
"Yes. You're my creator. I've never let you down."
"Excellent. Jax seems to be in perfect working order. Now for my Sonja model."
Datamon walked over towards the other capsule and pushed the activation button to open it up. Another pair of hands came out and a young, girl with long, raven hair began sitting up. She too was wearing jeans and a shirt with a vest over it. She looked over towards Jax and then to Datamon with a smile across her face.
"Good afternoon, Datamon. How have you been?"
"Good. Even during a long sleep in your capsule, you are still able to remember me."
"Why would I forget about you? You gave me and Jax life."
"Perfect! Oh this is so perfect! Now it is time to unleash them upon those wretched children!"
"So why is it that you released us from our long sleep?" asked Jax.
"Oh yes. You two have a mission assigned for you. Now listen closely. Several of Taichi's friends are outside the laboratory at this very moment. I want you two to take care of them immediately as soon as they get in here."
"Yes," replied Sonja.
"We understand," Jax said.
**************************************************************************************
Xveemon looked up to see Stingmon, Aquillamon and Pegasusmon arrive on the scene.
"Hey! What took you guys so long and where's Leomon?!"
"He flew off and went on ahead of us when we stopped to split up," said TK.
"You forgetting about me already?" said a voice.
The Digi-Destined all turned to see Leomon looking down from above. He hovered down and looked towards the secret passage door.
"So where did you go, Leomon," asked Yolei.
"I tried to catch up to Metalla X and Angemon X but they were much too fast for me to even catch up to," he replied, "So you all found the lab?"
"Yeah thanks to me!" said Xveemon.
"Nice work, Xveemon," commended Stingmon.
"You can all pat each other on the back later. Now we must go in and stop Datamon from unleashing the artificials," Leomon said.
The digimon went on ahead as they went in to attack but Xveemon called out to them.
"Hey guys! Wait! Don't go in!" cried out Xveemon.
"Ugh?! What's the matter now?" asked Aquillamon.
"Ummm. Before I got here, I found Datamon and he beat me here to it."
They all gasped in shock and couldn't believe that Xveemon didn't tell them earlier as he was supposed to. Leomon was visibly upset at what Xveemon did for not telling them ahead of time.
"You should have told us before, Xveemon," Davis said.
Leomon held back his fist and shot out his Fist of the Beast King into the iron door in order to knock it down since he couldn't blast a hole right through it.
**************************************************************************************
Datamon felt tremendous energy trying to break through the door and turned towards his two artificials. They looked back to him, as they were ready to take orders from their creator.
"There they are. They possibly think that they are going to break through that easily. They have absolutely no idea what I have in store for them," Datamon said, "Oh but they will. Heh. Heh. They will."
Sonja and Jax looked down at the remote control in Datamon's hand. They looked over towards each other as if they had their own agenda in mind.
Leomon was about to break down the door along with the help of Stingmon and Xveemon. But their combined force wasn't enough to bring the steel door down.
"Its sealed shut. I say we blast it down," replied TK.
"Oh if it's a door needed to be broken down then leave that opportunity to me!" a familiar voice said.
The Digi-Destined turned to see Metalla X and Angemon X right behind them.
"Back away and let me knock that damn door down," Metalla X said coolly.
Leomon growled as he held out a hand and was beginning to power up a blast to destroy the steel door. Metalla X was visibly getting impatient as he watched Leomon.
Datamon turned to face Sonja and Jax as he was about to give out orders to them.
"Now you two go out there and finish them off!"
But as soon as he said that, Jax came up from behind him and quickly snatched the remote control out of his hand. This caught Datamon by surprise as he turned to face him with an angry look across his face. His eyes were boiling over.
"Jax?! What in the hell are you doing?!"
"So this is the remote that you used to seal us away? Well how about I hold onto this for you? What? Is there something wrong, Datamon? Maybe we should go directly to a more different approach."
As soon as Jax said that, he crushed the remote control with one hand. Datamon could only look on with shock as Jax threw the smashed up remote control on the ground.
"What?! What have you done?! You dare defy me?! Damn you to hell!"
"Heh. I won't let you do that again to us, insubordinate."
Leomon was ready to blast the door down but then Metalla X was yelling at him to hurry it up.
"Leomon! You better hurry up and blast that door! Or else I'll have to step in and get the job done myself!"
"Leomon! Don't listen to him! He just wants to fight those artificials for his own selfish desire!" Angemon X cried out.
"And you better shut up, boy!" Metalla X angrily cried out to Angemon X.
Leomon stopped as he heard Datamon's rambling from behind the door. The other digimon could hear as well. They even heard other unfamiliar voices replying back to him.
"Ugh! Oh no, you guys! He's activated those artificals," Xveemon stuttered nervously.
"Get out of my way, you idiots," Metalla X said angrily.
"No damn it! You don't know what you're doing, Matt! Stop it, you don't realize how powerful they really are!"
"I think it's too late for that, boy. I'll get what I want and what I want is a decent fight and these artificials may be the one challenge that I have been seeking forever since the fusion took place! So stand aside and let me realize my goal!"
With that being said, Metalla X shot a large blast towards the steel door and its tremendous force knocked it down to the ground. The two artificials watched as the door came falling down.
"Its them! The Digi-Destined," Datamon said.
Jax and Sonja walked through the smoke that was building up. They seemed ineffective from the blast that Metalla X had made. They turned to face the digimon with their cold, lifeless eyes.
"Well. Isn't this convenient?! Two humans! Two humans! A boy and a girl! So I take it that these are the scary artificials that you were mentioning about? Right? Well am I right?" asked Metalla X.
Angemon X nodded in agreement.
"Ha! I expected something a lot scarier than this."
"No! It's them al right! Matt, now you're going to realize your own mistake by under estimating these things. I just hope you're as powerful as you say you are. Because this maybe you're biggest challenge to date. Now its time to back up those words," Dimitri thought.
At last, the Digi-Destined and their digimon come face to face with the two artificials, Jax and Sonja. But are they as powerful as Dimitri thinks they are? And will even Metalla X be able to defeat them?

Max: Little my ass! You almost killed him!
Coral: I couldn't help it! I wanted to train! I didn't want to be a couch potato, you know?
Max: You should have asked Keke and me if you wanted to train.
Keke: Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late!
Max: You're never late, babe. You came just in time.
Keke: Oh by the way, Cora. You got an email from that Alan Wilkinson guy.
Coral: Oh boy. I wonder what he wants this time.
Max: Did you just call her Cora?
Keke: Yeah, she usually hates the name, but she's cool with me calling her that. I guess I'm pretty special.
Max: Whatever, anyway I say we get started on the fic. The real artificials have been released and it's up to the Destined to stand up against these new foes. Even though my dad is still out with that virus, Keke's dad get spotlight.
Keke: I'm enjoying these recent chapters. My dad totally kicks ass! Let's get on with the fic! Enjoy!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Taichi's Deadly Assassin: The Dark Mega, Black War Greymon! Sonja, the Deadly Beauty!
Metalla X used his powerful blast to knock down the steel door, instead of letting Leomon handle it. Angemon X could only just stand there angrily and not get in his way.
"Young father! I hope you realize that you're signing your own death warrant!"
As the blast blasted the steel door, a large gust of smoke came out of the room as a result of the huge explosion. The two artificials turned to see the explosion as it easily caught their attention and take their focus off of Datamon.
The Digi-Destined could only look on with shocked looks on their faces at what they were gazing at. Right before them were two human beings: young boy and a young girl. Nothing seemed dangerous about them.
"Well. Well. So, this is what had you all so nervous about. What do I see here? I see a young girl with long, black hair and a young boy with the same color hair. So, I take it that these are the horrifying artificials that you were mentioning about?" replied Metalla X.
"Uh huh," said Angemon X.
"Are you sure? They look just like humans to me," Davis said.
"No. Don't be fooled by their appearance. They're powers are limitless. And they are stronger than all of us put together!"
Datamon got up from the ground and turned to face the Digi-Destined and their digimon. His anger towards them has now reached new heights. They have discovered his secret laboratory but he was glad to see them show up, in order for his creations to completely exterminate them in the process.
"Ha! So you actually made it here, Digi-Destined! I'm glad that you all did! Now my creations shall destroy you just like you did to artificials Elfmon and Ice Ladydevimon!"
"Um, dude. You destroyed her yourself," Xveemon said, "Geez and I thought I was forgetful!"
Jax took notice of the two artificial's names and turned to face Datamon with a smile on his face.
"Artificial models Elfmon and Ice Ladydevimon? So you created them after all?"
"Yes I did."
"But they were of a different model unlike myself and Sonja. They were energy-absorbing models, weren't they not?"
"Yes they were."
"So you thought energy-absorbing models would be much easier to control than us," asked Sonja.
"Yes. They were quite loyal to me and they didn't rebel like you two have in the past."
"But now, it's a shame. They're both dead," Sonja said.
This even angered Datamon even further as he clenched his fists with his teeth grinding with sheer rage building up inside of him. Jax and Sonja have bad-mouthed him far enough but they took it too far in mocking his other creations.
"That's enough, Jax and Sonja! I order you two to destroy the Digi-Destined now!"
"Shut up already," said Jax, "We will deal with them when we are ready. And now isn't the time."
"Ugh! What did you say?!"
The Digi-Destined and their digimon could only look on with shock and confusion. They have never seen two rebellious beings like Jax and Sonja before. Angemon X could only look on with horror and came to realization that the two artificials that he sees before him are the two killers from his future time period. These were the artificials that killed the Digi-Destined in his time, but he never expected them to be rebellious to their own creator.
Jax and Sonja walked over around the laboratory in search of something that they may need. Jax looked over another capsule and examined it. It was much larger than his and Sonja's. It was large enough to hold a giant inside.
"Hey, Sonja. Come take a look at this."
"What is it?"
"Its another capsule and there's something inside of it."
"And what is it?"
"It looks like a person is in here. No, some sort of digimon…"
"No! You two stay away from there! Don't open that capsule! My strongest artificial is within that capsule! He was to be your third ally in destroying the Digi-Destined!"
This caught the Digi-Destined by surprise. But even more so, it caught Angemon X by surprise. He always knew that there would be a third artificial but he never knew when it would appear and now he has even heard about it from Datamon's own mouth.
"So the third artificial is in there?! At last, I'll even get the chance to see what this thing looks like!"
"So it's your strongest artificial created? And why haven't we been told about this?" asked Jax.
"Because you never asked and it is still not complete! I still have to put a few modifications into his body!"
"Well then. Lets take a look, shall we?"
Jax proceeded on to open the capsule but Datamon cried out again to stop him from activating the capsule.
"No, Jax! I order you to stay away from that capsule! Please, just listen to me for gods sakes!"
"Well that's just too bad, now is it," said Sonja.
Sonja walked over to the capsule and examined the creature that was inside of it. It looked sort of reptilian with black skin and silver armor all over his body.
"If this artificial model is just a prototype and not complete, then we should have a right to take a look at him. Is that so much to ask," Sonja asked.
"No! You don't understand. If you open it, he might nor function that well."
"Well then. Lets take a look shall we," Jax said as he proceeded on to push the activation button.
He pushed the button and watched as a button that read Open. Jax stepped aside and allowed Sonja to do the honors and push the button. Datamon ran over towards her and grabbed her arm.
"No, Sonja!"
Sonja shrugged his arm off and rolled her eyes. She turned to face him with her cold and lifeless eyes and delivers a thunderous elbow shot to Datamons' chest. Datamon goes stumbling back and coughing out blood-like oil.
"When we're through with you, you're going to scrap metal, do you hear me," Sonja said with a cold tone in her voice.
"But, Sonja! You have to listen to me! Please, don't open that capsule! I beg of you!"
"You can't control because your control is all broken into little pieces," Jax replied.
"That's because you broke it and I can just make a another! Now, I order you two to get away from that damn capsule and destroy the intruders! I order you now!"
"Sonja, go ahead and open it."
"No! Don't!"
Sonja nodded and pushed the open button to activate the capsule. Datamon turned to face her with an his widened eyes full of sheer rage building up inside of him but he also had a feeling of fear, fear of what his artificials could do if he isn't careful.
"For the final time, you better not release it! Curse you!"
As soon as he screamed out, Jax came up from behind and punched his fist right through his neck. Datamon could only look on as he saw Jax's hand sticking right through his throat. Datamon looked down to see red-oil dripping down from his large open wound. He began coughing and gagging. He could barely mutter a single word now that Jax has taken out his voice box as well.
The Digi-Destined could only look on with sheer disgust and total shock at what they were witnessing. Was this the first glimpse of what they are about to go up against?
"They're just as ruthless and hateful like in my time,"Dimitri thought.
Datamon turned to face Jax with his throat completely cut open and caved in. He only managed to speak a few words left as his voice box started to go out.
"How… dare… you?! Damn… you! You'll… never… send… me… to… the depths… of hell…"
"Oh but you see. I already have."
And with that being said, Jax jumped up and blasted away Datamon's body with one single shot. This caught the Digi-Destined by surprise to see one blast completely destroy the body of Datamon. All that was left after the blast was Datamon's head. It came rolling down towards the Digi-Destined. Davis looked down at it with sheer disgust.
"To… hell… with you… Jax… I shall… see you… there… soon… enough…"
"Ha. Cocky for a dead man," replied Sonja.
Jax grabs Datamon's head and crushed with his own hands in one split second. All that was left as pieces of Datamon's head parts and brain pieces. Jax wiped off the blood and the brain gush off of his hands and turned to face Sonja.
"Ugh! Did you see that?! He crushed it like a bug!" Yolei said with disgust in her voice.
"He killed Datamon off as if he were nothing," replied TK, "This is not good and now we have to face them by ourselves now."
Jax pointed towards Davis and Xveemon. A form formed across his face as he cleared his throat.
"You there. Are you Davis Motomiya?"
"Umm… yeah!? What in the hell do you want from me?!"
"Careful, Davis. I don't want you to lose your head too!"
"Don't worry, Davis. We got you covered," Leomon said.
The digimon all got into fighting stances as Jax walked up towards them. But he turned around and walked over towards Sonja. The Digi-Destined could only sigh of relief.
"Whew that was a close one," said Davis.
"Don't be too sure. They're about to unleash that artificial out of his capsule," said Ken.
"Go on, Sonja. Its time to open the capsule."
"No! If they set that thing free, we're all dead for sure! Stand back," Angemon X cried out angrily as he powered up.
He held out his fists as they began to glow. He wrenched back and then pushes them forward as two energy blasts came shooting out. The two blasts combined into one as they came hurtling towards the two artificials in order to destroy them and the capsule at the same time. The digimon all carried their human partners out of there as soon as possible since the blast was powerful enough to wipe out an entire area within seconds.
"Everyone get down!" Ken exclaimed
As soon as they escaped out of the laboratory, they saw as the laboratory exploded right before them. All they could see was a bright flash of light take place right before them and the laboratory was now left as fallen rubble and building debris. The Digi-Destined looked on and watched as the smoke cleared away.
"Well that wasn't a very smart move, Dimitri," said Metalla X, "You didn't even destroy them hot shot!"
"Huh?! But that was my most powerful attack ever, even in our fusion form!"
"Well, you spoke too soon. Take a look yourself."
"No! Impossible!"
As the smoke cleared away, Jax and Sonja stood there unharmed with the giant capsule at their side. Sonja had it lifted up right above her head.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Lets drop it, hurry it up and open it!"
"Your the boss."
Sonja drops the capsule and wipes her hands. Jax walks over towards it and pushes the open button on the capsule. They watched patiently as the capsule top opened up. Inside, they could see a tall, creature that looked like War Greymon. In fact, it did look like War Greymon. Except this one has black skin and yellow hair. His eyes were a bright yellow with black pupils in them. There was something absolutely dark about this being.
The monster managed to open his eyes and sit up from his capsule. He looked up and took a good examination of his surroundings. He got up on his two feet and turned to face the two artificials that set him free of his long, long sleep in the capsule. This was the first time that he has ever gotten a glimpse of the real world.
The Digi-Destined were just as shocked as ever. Now they weren't going to handle with two artificials but three of them. Three gruesome power houses that plan on destroying all of mankind.
"He looks just like War Greymon but he's black and absolute pure evil," TK said.
"I don't have any information on him," said Pegasusmon.
"He's big. He's big and ugly too," Xveemon said.
"Grr! We can take them," Davis cried out.
"Grr! I should have seen this one coming. How come I was too careless to know about this beforehand," Angemon said angrily.
The evil War Greymon looked down towards the other two artificials as they took a close examination of him. They were quite impressed.
"Hello there, model Black War Greymon," Jax said while scanning the artificial digimon.
[Black War Greymon. Mega-Level. Virus Type. Created as an artificial by Datamon to execute Tai Kamiya. Special Techniques: Terra Destroyer & Black Tornado]
"Isn't it just nice to be out of that long sleep? I bet you were quite anxious to get out of there. Kind of cranky aren't you?"
Black War Greymon looked down at them with a cold glare in his lifeless eyes. He examined his body and paid no attention to what Jax was saying.
"C'mon speak. Didn't you get a voice box? You were created from Datamon much like Sonja and myself. But you're made from a different design. You are a fully robotic. So is that true?"
Again, Black War Greymon stood there silently and not saying a single word. Obviously, Jax wasn't going to get a straight answer from such a big monster such as Black War Greymon.
"Ah, so he's the silent type," said Sonja, "So why would Datamon consider you incomplete? He did say that you were lacking a few modifications to your complete design? What are they?"
Black War Greymon didn't answer Sonja either and continued to stand there like some sort of statue.
"Ugh. Well we're not going to get anything from him. I need you to answer one question. Weren't you created to fulfill Datamon's dream of destroying Taichi? Right? You are designed to kill Taichi and Agumon, am I correct?"
Black War Greymon looked down to Jax and nodded. He spoke in a dark and low toned manner. It sounded a little more mechanical than that of Jax's and Sonja's.
"That is correct."
"Well I'll be. So the big guy is able to speak, huh? I like the silent and deadly types," Jax said.
"Well now that we gotten his answer. So what do we do now?"
"Complete our mission, Sonja. We must get away from here and find Taichi at this very moment."
"What about the other Digi-Destined?"
Jax looked over towards the other children and their digimon. A sinister smile formed across his face.
"Nah. We'll leave them. They are of no threat to us for now. Come let's get away from here."
Jax flew up into the air and was soon followed by Sonja and Black War Greymon. The three artificals flew off towards their next destination. They were now in search of Taichi in order to execute him and Agumon.
The other Digi-Destined could only look on and were quite shocked that the artificials didn't go and attack them already. Angemon X was even more surprised that these artificials didn't have any thoughts of attacking him and the Digi-Destined at firs sight. Something was different about the present day artificials, but they were still as cold and calculating as he first expected. And her never expected a dark modified version of War Greymon to be the third artificial. Black War Greymon has proved to be the most terrible and indestructible of terrifying trio.
"Whoa! Look at that! They're leaving! Man, I don't know what they're up to, but I don't like the looks of this," said Xveemon.
"They're going after Tai," Angemon X said, "We have to stop them at all costs!"
"Yeah especially since Tai and Agumon were both infected from the D-Virus just a little while ago," TK said.
"I wonder if the antidote is actually helping him," said Ken.
"I really don't care for Tai at the moment! All I care about is taking on those artificials! So, they seem a little stronger than I first anticipated. Big deal, they killed their creator and rebelled. That Black War Greymon has yet to do anything impressive than just stand around. So, you guys can just stand aside and let me handle this situation," said Metalla X, "I don't need your help and I don't want it! Do you all understand?!"
They all turned to face him with sheer anger and disgust of his arrogant attitude. Metalla X has been taking this whole artificial threat so lightly and doesn't even care to know how great their real power is.
"I have yet to see their true potential power and if there's anybody that can bring the best out of them, it should be none other than me. Ever since we fused, we have become an indestructible force that even Datamon's little toys were unable to derail my momentum. This is our time and this is our opportunity to prove to ourselves that we are even greater than Omega X. So what, he's down and out with a deadly virus. He'll recover, no problem. With Omega X absent at the moment, we can take the top position as the best and claim status of being the most powerful fighter in two worlds. This is our time and it starts now!"
TK has now grown weary of his own flesh and blood lately. He is proud yet disappointed with the way Matt was handling the new fusion power. TK is proud of that fact that Matt and Gabumon were able to fuse and take apart Elfmon. However, he is displeased with the way his attitude has been as of late.
"Now I shall be leaving now. I don't want any of you to follow me, is that clear?!"
Metalla X goes to fly away and head towards the direction the artificials were heading to. But Angemon X flew right past the other Digi-Destined and quickly phased right in front of Metalla X. They faced each other, as Metalla X grew even angrier to see Angemon X blocking his direction, preventing him from proceeding on to fighting the artificials.
"No! Wait! You can't go after them! If you fight them, there's a good chance that you will die! We have to wait for Tai to get better. We need Omega X for this!"
"Omega X? You want me to wait for him?"
"Yes, so that way we can plan for our next attack and with strategy, we may have a chance in defeating them."
"Ha! Oh sure! Yeah! Lets all wait for Tai and Agumon to get better! I bet you it will be the next ice age by the time that they get better. Ha! They're history! Omega X is yesterday's news! Metalla X is the new deal around here and I say screw Omega X! I'm going after those artificials and ending this nightmare for all of us! I will do this alone, without Omega X!"
"But if you go out there, you will get killed by them! You have got to listen to me!"
As soon as Angemon X said that, Metalla X pulled his fist back and nails him right in the gut. Angemon X gasps for air as he goes stumbling back. Metalla X shrugged him off and smiled.
"Now stay out of my way."
Metalla X powers up and flies over towards the direction to where the three artificials were heading. Xveemon tried to go after him but Angemon X stopped him just in time.
"Why are you stopping me? I don't understand."
"Cause I won't let you make the same mistake he is making. He doesn't realize what he's getting himself into. He's about to enter into a sudden death trap if he fights those artificials. I've seen what they can do in my time period."
"But they seem a little different in this present day period," replied TK.
"What?"
"TK is right. These things didn't kill us on first sight. Instead, they killed Datamon," Ken said.
"And they didn't really seem to care that we were around. Their sole purpose was to kill Tai and Agumon right?" asked Yolei.
"That shouldn't be right. They should have killed us but they chose not to. This time period is really slipping out of proportion and everything that I predicted has been going into the opposite way," Angemon X replied.
"Well it really doesn't matter now," said Leomon, "We have to stop him from attacking the artificials at all costs."
"But he's so long gone from here," Davis said, "It would take us a pretty long time to even catch up to him at the rate that he was going at."
"We're just going to have to try, Davis," said TK, "So are we ready?"
They all nodded in agreement.
"I'm not about to wait around here and let him take all of the credit," Davis said, "Lets go Xveemon!"
"Right with ya, Davis!"
Xveemon picks up Davis and flies over towards the direction that the artificials were heading to. The other Digi-Destined follows them over with their digimon. They were going to stop Metalla X at all costs no matter what the consequences may end up being.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at Kyoto, Izzy was still examining the samples of the antidote. Joe was trying to figure out a way to transport the antidotes to other places across Japan that may end up getting infected by the virus itself. No telling if Datamon had spread the virus even before the first artificial invasion that occurred earlier today.
Sora kneeled to Tai's side and watched as he was recuperating from the D-Virus. She could only hope and pray that he gets better.
"Tai. You have to pull through. We need you and Agumon to become Omega X in order to defeat the artificials."
"Sora! Kari just sent you an email!"
"What does it say, Biyomon?"
"She's on her way over with Nefertimon. She decided to pull herself out from the battle in order to get back and stay with Tai."
"That's good to know. I'm going to need her help to watch over Tai."
"Sora? So are you and Tai officially dating?" asked Mimi.
"Huh? Why do you ask?"
"Because, you two have become more than just friends for the past couple of years."
"Well, I've grown to actually liking Tai than more than just a friend. He's always there when I need him and I always depend on him."
"He sure does know what's best for the team," Michael said, "He's proven that a lot to me. I may not have been there to seen him in action against Burizalor, but I know for a fact that he fought him just to save you guys from certain disaster."
"Yeah he almost sacrificed his life in that battle and I've grown more respect for him as a leader of the Digi-Destined and as a long time friend. Tai, I hope your hearing all of this. It's just not right when you're not in action. We need you."
Tai rested while taking in a few breaths and recovering from the deadly D-Virus that he got infected from the artificials. Somehow, these artificials could plant the virus within a blink of an eye and easily can immobilize any victim that way just to destroy them in the process. Tai and Agumon were lucky to have been pulled out of that battle or they would have been dead meat. Sora is very glad to see him safe and sound.
**************************************************************************************
Kari was on her way over to Kyoto while riding on her armored digimon, Nefertimon. She had just sent an email to Sora and Biyomon. She was glad to have gotten a reply and told Nerfertimon to hurry up as soon as possible.
"We have to get there as soon as possible. They might leave from Kyoto and be heading back to Odaiba. Plus I really need to see how my brother is recuperating."
"Right, Kyoto shouldn't be too far from here. Just hang on tight."
"Oh TK. You better still be alive. I hope you and the others have taken care of those artificials so far. I wonder what the real three artificials look like anyways. Oh well, I miss out on this opportunity but family comes first!"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, on a quiet highway road just around a canyon ridge, the three artificials hovered down onto the ground. Jax examined the area and smiled.
"So why did we stop here?"
"I say we hitchhike and try to pick up a ride."
"What, you must be out of your mind? We can fly over to Odaiba! We don't need to hitch a ride," Sonja complained.
"Well I haven't done something like this. It never hurts to try out new ways of transportation. Besides, I don't feel like stealing a car and driving."
"Whatever you say."
Jax and Sonja noticed Black War Greymon looking out into the skies. They were confused to why their third partner was responding to them very much. He didn't seem very open as if he keeps all of his emotions to himself.
"So this is earth? It looks so beautiful to destroy. I don't understand my real purpose other than to destroy Taichi and Agumon. I'm willing to bet that there's more to life than fighting. But is fighting a part of my destiny? Nature seems to precious to destroy."
Black War Greymon looked down at a small little bird. The bird squeaked and looked up at the towering monster. Black War Greymon picks it up and holds it in his hand.
"Beautiful little creature. This is what probably makes the beauty of earth's nature. I do believe these creatures are called birds. Their chirping is like music to my ears. But, there is a difference between us. I was created as an artificial with a sole purpose of destroying two individuals but this tiny little bird is more real that I ever will be. I wonder how it feels to be flesh and blood. A living creature."
Jax and Sonja were just as confused as ever. They could only see him as a towering destructive artificial but with some sort of tender feelings. This was so unlike any other artificial that they have ever seen. He didn't seem to want to destroy anything than Agumon and Taichi.
"I don't get it, Jax. He doesn't seem to want to destroy anything at all."
"Just remember, he's programmed to kill Taichi and Agumon. That's all that matters."
Suddenly, Metalla X hovered down right behind them. Jax and Sonja turned to face him and could only sigh with disbelief. Metalla X could only smile with pleasure.
"So there you three are. I was hoping that you were running away from me."
"Huh? You look a bit different, so you must be Yamato? And Gabumon? What are you two supposed to be?" asked Jax.
"Yes. In fact, we are now the most powerful force in two worlds. Gabumon and I fused to become Metalla X. Your date with Omega X will be cancelled at the moment because you three will be dealing with a real challenge."
"You mean like yourself," asked Jax.
"Yes but of course. Your reign of terror shall come to an end artificials. I tend on stopping you once and for all."
"Ok. Can you cut the dramatic crap? We don't intend on destroying your world, just yet. We're here to have a little fun first and you're ruining our fun. But if you insist on fighting us, then so be it. Are you ready to challenge our power?"
"Oh yeah. We've training for three years in perfecting out fusion technique and now it shall pay off. We seek the greatest challenges and you three should be able to allow us to fully perfect new techniques while in our fusion form. We have yet to have a real challenge and today is that day."
"If its a challenge that you want then you shall get," Jax said, "Black War Greymon, I want you to go and kick this guy's ass for us."
"I refuse."
This caught Jax and Sonja by surprise. They couldn't believe that he would turn down the challenge, but why? Why would Black War Greymon refuse to fight Metalla X?
"You won't fight him? Did something hit you in the head really hard?" asked Jax, "Whats the deal?"
"I was programmed to fight only Omega X. I fight only the best."
"Ha. So your big friend over there is a lot smarter than I thought," said Metalla X, "He knows that I would have wiped him out in a heart beat. But that's okay, so who wants to step up to the plate and challenge my authority?"
"Authority, eh? Well, if you want to fight somebody. Then I shall be the one to do it," Sonja said, "So are you ready, little man? Don't cry once you get beat by a girl like myself."
"So its ladies first, huh? Well don't expect me to go easy on you. I won't want to mess up your pretty little face but you leave me no other choice."
Sonja got into a fighting stance as she got prepared to face off against Metalla X. Now Metalla X has taken a stand and shall be the first to challenge the awesome power of the real artificials that Dimitri has been talking about.
"You talk too much."
"What was that?! You dare to taunt me?! By the way, I don't talk too much. You ought to zip it, bitch. So, what do you say we get this started with?"
"Absolutely. I plan on humiliating you. But let me ask you something. Will I damage your pride even further if you lose to me, a beautiful woman?"
"Well, I have news for you. That's not going to happen! Now I'm growing impatient! Lets get this started with!"
"Very well then."
Sonja got into a fighting stance as she brushed away her long, flowing hair from her face in order to see her adversary. Metalla X holds down both fists and a long blade comes popping out from both arms.
"Hmmm. These fusion warriors are quite arrogant. Are Taichi and Agumon the same way? I wonder how strong they really are? Well, Matt and Gabumon are doing us no favors. They're not the ones that we're looking for. I don't see any reason to killing them. Ha. But if they insist, I think humiliating them is the way to go,"Jax thought.
Black War Greymon threw the bird into the air and watched as it flew away. Black War Greymon turns his attention to the showdown that was taking place between Sonja and Metalla X.
Sonja closed her eyes and watched as Metalla X made his first move. Metalla X flies right at her and delivers a kick to the side of her head, but Sonja was able to bring her arm up to block the kick. Metalla X goes for the other side with another kick, but Sonja blocked that with her arm as well. Metalla X ducks under and goes for a leg sweep. Sonja saw it coming as she did a handspring back flip. Metalla X turned to face her as she landed on her feet. A smile formed across her face, however Metalla X wasn't very pleased.
"You can do all that fancy crap all you want. But that doesn't make you the superior fighter. C'mon show me what you really got."
"Metalla X. You want to fight me for real? Then so be it."
Sonja flies right at Metalla X and follows it up with numerous of punches and kicks at him. Metalla X maneuvers away from each punch and kick being thrown at him. Sonja jumps up and delivers a kick to Metalla's X. He was unable to maneuver away from the kick as he goes stumbling back. Sonja lands on her feet and flies right at him yet again. Metalla X manages to flip up over her just before she was going to head butt him. Metalla X goes behind Sonja and shoots out a ki-blast. Sonja quickly turns around and shoots out a ki-blast of her own. Both ki-blasts connected with one another as they cancelled each other out.
Sonja looks up and goes flying up into the air. Metalla X goes to follow her up. As soon as he made it up, he watched as she quickly phased out. This caught him by surprise as surrounding him were large clouds. Since he couldn't sense the artificial's energy level, Metalla X had no chance of tracing her. Metalla X grew even more irritated and began firing away at the clouds all around him. He was letting his anger get the best of him. Little did he realize that Sonja was hovering above the cloud giggling.
"Come on out, artificial! Where are you? Coward!"
"Looking for me? I'm up here."
Metalla X looked up to see Sonja smiling down at him. He grew even angrier as a female warrior got the best of him. He has never been outwitted by a girl before and wasn't going to let it happen again.
He flew right up at her and began delivering rapid punches and kicks to her. But Sonja was able to block them out with her arms. Metalla X puts his hands out and forms a ball of energy. He then pushed it forward and threw it towards Sonja. She watched as it pushed her back. However, she was able to maneuver under it and delivers a kick sending it flying into the air.
"Not a bad move, Metalla X. But I say we go all out. Anything goes, sudden death."
"Sure. Just don't go whining when I mess up your pretty face."
"His arrogance is so painful. I better end this quick or else his ego is just going to make him dumber than he looks."
Sonja flies away towards the large forest area, which is away from the canyon ridge. Metalla X goes and follows her in order to catch up to her.
"Well, I say this is going to get ugly. What do you think, Black War Greymon?" asked Jax.
Black War Greymon could only look on and pick up Metalla X's energy level. He also could pick up Sonja's energy level since he has modified sensors placed into him to pick up energies from other artificials such as Sonja. He could only wonder how far this battle would last.
Sonja flies over the forest landscape and looks for a proper place for her and Metalla X to continue their battle. She looked down and found an open forest area with large grasslands. She hovered down towards it. Metalla X saw her and followed the artificial down to the ground. Both landed and faced off.
"I hope this is an appropriate to resume our battle," Sonja said, "And if you don't like it, that's just too bad. I chose this place for a reason."
"There has to be reason to why she picked this spot. Hmm. Open grassland, she could easily hide in this savanna."
"So what's it going to be, Metalla X? Shall I start or will you do the honors this time?"
"I think this is an all ladies night out, so I don't really care. The result will still be the same no matter what, me beating in your artificial brains into that cranium of yours."
Sonja and Metalla X fly right at each other and elbow each other. Both of their elbows connect with one another as they both flipped back. Metalla X lands on his feet and shoots out several ki-blasts at Sonja. Sonja got to her feet and managed to maneuver away from the on coming blasts. Metalla X flies right after her and fires more ki-blasts. Sonja maneuvers from each shot being directly fired towards her. She was a lot more agile than Metalla X first thought and he couldn't make any clear shots on her. It was as if he were blasting away at a flash of light.
"Hold still! Don't worry I won't scratch up that pretty face."
"You're underestimating my power. I was just holding back. Now I'm going to go all out on you now."
"Holding back?! You're bluffing! Prove it to me!"
"Ha. Very well then."
Sonja quickly phases out and reappears right behind Metalla X. He turns to blast her but she was able to phase away in the blink of an eye. Metalla X turns around and gets met with a kick to the side of the head. Metalla X goes stumbling back but was able to hold himself back. He holds out his hands and shoots out several more ki-blasts at her. Sonja quickly flips up and shoots out several blasts of her own. Metalla X manages to block them away with his fists. However, he didn't expect the next move that Sonja was about to make. She reappeared right below him and delivers a leg sweep. Metalla X watched as he was tripped to the ground but he was able to flip backwards to avoid falling. Sonja takes advantage and delivers a punch right in the face of Metalla X. He goes flying back but was able to retaliate with a punch of his own. Sonja's head goes rocking back as his fist connected with her face. Metalla X then wrenches back and delivers another punch. Sonja goes flying up into the air and quickly phases out. Metalla X flies right up in attempt to find her.
Metalla X had now time for hide and seek so he began to blast away the clouds around him. And little did he realize that Sonja was on the ground below him tapping her foot. Metalla X looked down and could only look on with sheer anger building up inside of him.
"That woman is toying with me! How dare she hurt the pride of friendship! We won't allow that to happen any longer!"
Metalla X goes flying down after her like a falcon about to catch his prey. But this time, Sonja was able to fly away to even further infuriate Metalla X. She was leading him back towards the canyon ridge where the other two artificials were waiting.
"That does it!" Metalla X shouted out.
Metalla X began firing away several ki-blasts down at Sonja in order to blast her away. But his attempts were now becoming more futile and futile as the battle dragged on. Sonja took advantage and flies up into the air. She heads back towards the canyon ridges. Metalla X boosted up his speed and was able to catch up to her as fast as he could.
Jax and Black War Greymon felt two energy levels heading towards their direction. A smile comes across the face of Jax as he came to the realization to who was coming back.
"They're coming back. Its about time," Jax said.
Sonja and Metalla X arrived back on the scene as they faced off yet again. Sonja smiled and tied her hair back.
"So, Metalla X? Have you decided to give up? There is no way you beat me."
"Just look at what you're saying! Your the one with the ego not me! You think that you can defeat me?! Not a chance, your nothing but a piece of scrap metal. All three of you are nothing but toys created by some demented digimon!"
"I've just about had it with your big mouth," said Sonja, "Come on little man. Give me your best shot."
"I'll be glad to."
Metalla X flies right at Sonja and goes for a punch to her face but then he felt something ram into his chest as he gasped in pain and spat out some blood. He looked down to see Sonja's knee in his gut. He couldn't believe how fast she was able to deliver a simple knee to the gut. He didn't even pick up her movements through his sensors.
Metalla X flew onto Sonja as she pulled him up. She looked deeply into his eyes with her cold and lifeless artificial eyes. She began to speak in a low tone.
"Tell me, Yamato. How does it feel to be in this amount of pain?"
As soon as she said that, she delivers a punch to the side of Metalla X's head, which sends him flying back into a nearby canyon wall. Metalla X could only watch as tons of rubble fell upon his body. Sonja was quite satisfied with her handy work and kicks the dirt onto the rubble.
Suddenly, the artificials could sense several more energy levels about to arrive on the scene. And they were right when they saw Angemon X, Leomon, Xveemon, Aquillamon and Pegasusmon arriving along with the Digi-Destined.
"Oh look. It's Yamato's friends. Looks like they've come to help him," Jax said.
"Hey! Where's Metalla X?!" Angemon X asked angrily.
"Oh him? He's over hiding in those rocks. He realized how powerful Sonja was and so he hid like the little bitch that he is," Jax replied.
"Oh no! Matt! Matt! Can you hear me," Angemon X shouted out frantically.
"Of course we're fine! Why wouldn't… we be," Metalla X replied.
The Digi-Destined all turned to see Metalla X walking out from the rubble with several bruises inflicted on his body.
"What the hell are you all doing here?! I specifically said that I didn't need any help and I don't want it! Now leave this battle with me. Sonja and I were just getting to know each other. Right baby?"
Sonja rolled her eyes in disgust and put her hand out.
"But, if you continue on like this, you're going to get killed," said TK, "Please listen to what we're telling you!"
"Geez and I thought I was thick-headed,"Davis said to himself.
"Now leave this to me! I don't need your help!"
Jax stepped in between the two quarreling parties as he cleared his throat.
"Now I don't know why you decided to show up but if you're looking to interfere in this fight, I suggest you back off. Here's the deal, if any of you try to interfere to save him, I will be forced to step in. Comprende?"
Metalla X nodded in agreement.
"Yes. Agreed. Now lets finish this!"
"As you wish!" Sonja cried out.
Metalla X saw her flying towards him. He shoots out several ki-blast, but each shot missed Sonja by a split second. Metalla X goes flying up and sees Sonja waiting for him. Metalla X goes flying right at her and delivers a devastating punch to her face.
"Whoops. Looks like I just messed up your pretty little face."
Metalla flies right at her and quickly phases away. This catches her by surprise as Metalla X reappears right above Sonja and delivers an elbow smash into the head of Sonja. The female artificial went flying down into the ground below her and was bruised after with several cuts and scratches as a result.
"Ahhh, are you running out of oil? Maybe you can be of good use when I take you apart and send you back to the junkyard where you belong."
Sonja sits up from the ground and looked at her clothes. A disgusted look came over her face as she looked up to Metalla X.
"You ruined my clothes. Now you've really pissed me off!"
"Getting a little cranky are we?"
Just as Metalla X was about to make his next move, Sonja quickly fazes right where Metalla X was hovering and nails him with a spinning kick to his face. Metalla X goes flying back and goes to punch her but Sonja ducks under and delivers several elbow shots into his gut. Metalla X goes flying back and goes falling down into a nearby pit. Metalla X falls and crashes through the ground.
"Father! No!" Angemon X cried out.
"We have to do something!" replied Yolei.
"You're right, we can't just stand around here any longer!" said Ken.
"If we interfere there's a good chance that the other artificials will stop us," Leomon said, "So let Metalla X handle this for the time being."
"C'mon young father. Don't let your anger overcome you."
Metalla X gets up and sees Sonja hovering above him. She holds down her hands and starts shooting out several ki-blasts at him. Metalla X managed to maneuver away from each ki-blast being fired at him. Metalla X phases out and reappears right behind Sonja. Sonja turns around and gets met with a devastating elbow shot to the face of Sonja. Metalla X grabs Sonja and tosses her down into the ground.
"Come get you some, artificial!"
Metalla X unleashes several missiles and watched as they blast Sonja down. They were only able to slow her down which allowed Metalla X enough time to phase right behind Sonja to deliver a punch to her back. Sonja goes flying back into the ground.
"Wow. I never really thought my young father was capable of this much power before. But he has to stay focused!"
Metalla X grabs Sonja and is about to blast her away but then as he tried to punch her, she quickly phased out. Metalla X turned around as Sonja came out of nowhere and delivered a devastating kick to Metalla X's chest. Metalla X goes crying out in tremendous pain as Sonja delivered a fist into the Metalla X's armored chest. Sonja watched as her adversary fell to his knees.
"Oh no! She found his power supply and exploited! That's it! I've seen enough," Angemon X thought to himself angrily.
Sonja delivers another powerful punch into Metalla's chest. Sonja jumps back and then flies right at him yet again. Metalla X could only watch on as Sonja nails a spinning kick into Metalla X's arm, severely breaking it. Metalla X cried out in even more agony as he felt two of his bones pop out of place in his shoulder.
"Nooo! That's it! I've seen enough damn it," Angemon X cried out.
The other digimon tried to restrain him but Angemon X flew right past them as he pulled out his long blade. Jax could see Angemon X coming in to help Metalla X and he had just specifically said no interference. Jax decided to take matters to his own hands and stop Angemon X from interfering and helping Metalla X at all costs.
Everything went still for moments as both Jax and Angemon X were both flying down to help their respective comrades. Sonja has Metalla X at his mercy and is ready to beat him within the inch of his life.
Everything all goes still as Metalla X has now realized the true power of the artificials. He has now come into realization that he is no match for their awesome power. But now, Angemon X has stepped up to the plate to save Metalla X from further death. Will he be there to save Metalla X in time?

Max: Hey, guys! I hope you're ready for a slobber knocker! Tonight's main event will feature two of the most fiercest warriors known in the fic universe… Too bad I'm not in this match because I would have kicked Coral's ass myself. But in any case, tonight's main event features Coral and Zeomon!

Keke: Right! Here's Mick Foley!
Mick: Hey, guys! Finally, the Mickster has made his debut on SSJ4T's fic corner!
Max: Let's get the main event under way! Here comes Coral!
Coral: Yeah! You all love me! Yeah!
Keke: She's so full of herself.
Max: Well, she is a saiyan.
Keke: But Goku is not like that.
Max: He was raised on Earth, remember? He knows all about discipline much like myself. I may not be a saiyan, but I was trained by one of the greatest warriors ever. That's my father.
Keke: Exactly! Here comes Zeomon!
Zeomon: Let's get this crap over with, Coral. You talk too way too much.
Coral: Rightfully so. You should never mess with a saiyan.
Zeomon: We'll see.
Max: I say we declare this a best two out of three.
Mick: Good idea! Now let's get this match on!"
Zeomon: Let's see how much improvement you got from you're training.
Coral: You're in for a big shock!
[Coral makes her first move and rushes towards Zeomon. Zeomon reahces out and goes for a fist to the face. Coral phases out before the fist could connect. Zeomon looks up and finds Coral playfully winking at him.]
Zeomon: I'm impressed. You've made to up you're speed tenfold.
Coral: Why, thank you.
[Zeomon summons forth a sword with slashes Coral at her side.]

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
No Match for the Artificials?! Leomon's Last Resort!
Angemon X flew right down towards the battle grounds where Metalla X was at Sonja's mercy. He wasn't going to let Sonja kill his young father much like her future self killed his future father. He would not allow them to destroy this time period for their own cruel pleasure. Angemon X wrenched back and pulled out his blade. He picked it up and raised it over his head. He let out a screaming rage and flew down towards Sonja. Sonja could only look up as Angemon X was about to slice her in half. This was the same technique that sliced Burizalor into cold cuts. But would it be effective against an artificial such as Sonja? Only Angemon X knew that answer to that question as he drew his sword and brought it down on her.
Angemon X watched as the blade nailed Sonja right on her arm. But instead of slicing her arm off, it bounced off and the tip of the blade shattered. Angemon X gasped in total shock as he looked at his now broken sword. He couldn't believe that the tip broke and was unable to slice her. Angemon X turned around and saw Jax flying right at him with his fists wrenched back. Angemon X tried to defend himself but the speed of Jax was unbelievable. Jax nailed Angemon X in the side of the head and sent him flying back. Jax flies up and phases out. He reappears above Angemon X and pushes his foot down into Angemon X's chest. The fused warrior went crashing down into the ground.
Angemon X lay right where Metalla X was kneeling. He watched as the two artificials were flying down. Metalla X quickly got to his feet and flew over towards the two artificials despite the nagging injuries that he was suffering. Jax sees him coming and knees him right in the face. Metalla X goes sprawling back and allowed Jax to fire away several devastating ki-blasts that sent the mighty fusion warrior down to the ground.
Angemon X gets to his feet and goes to blast away at Sonja but she was able to deflect them and send them right back at Angemon X. Sonja phases out and reappears behind him. She then executes a chop to the back of his head. Angemon X goes falling down to the ground as his body became battered down as a result of being beaten away by the two artificals.
The other digimon could only watch on. They couldn't bear to stand watching the two fused warriors getting their butts handed to them by these two powerful foes. Leomon has seen enough.
"That's it! We have to go in and save them! I'm tired of waiting! Let's go!" Leomon cried out.
"Stingmon, don't let your guard down," Ken said.
"Let's move!"
"Becareful, Aquillamon!" replied Yolei.
"Kick some artificial ass!" Davis said.
"Pegasusmon! Hold them off and don't worry you got plenty of help!"
"Right! Let's move out gang," cried out Xveemon.
Leomon jumped into the battle grounds as the two artificals turned to face him. Leomon pulled out his sword and charged at Jax. Jax saw him coming and flew right at him. Sonja saw both Aquillamon and Stingmon coming towards him.
"Blast Ring!"
"Spiking Strike!"
Sonja managed to phase in between the two attacks and watched as they practically missed her within a split second. Aquillmon flew right at Sonja and blasted away more of his 'Blast Rings'. But they were ineffective against the speed of Sonja. She managed to maneuver from each blast being fired towards her. Stingmon appears right in front of Sonja and started throwing in punches and kicks. Sonja maneuvered from each punch being thrown at her. Stingmon could only look on as the punches keep missing her. Sonja began twisting to each side to avoid being hit. Sonja then makes direct contact with a fist to Stingmon's chest. Aquillamon flies down at Sonja and goes for his 'Grand Horn' maneuver. However, Sonja was able to sense the on going attack just in time as she quickly phased out. Aquillamon stopped himself from nailing Stingmon in time but as he turned around he was met with a kick to the face by Sonja.
Xveemon flew right towards Jax and throws in several punches and kicks. They were unable to make direct contact with Jax since he was able to maneuver away from each punch being thrown at him. Xveemon jumps back and goes flying towards Jax to execute a flying head butt, however Jax was able to maneuver away just in time. Leomon gets to his feet and goes to snare Jax, but Jax was able to phase out quickly.
"Damn! He's too fast!" Leomon said.
"Keep your eyes peeled. We'll get him," said Xveemon.
"But that's the point. We can't if we are unable to sense his energy level!"
"Yeah! That's a total bummer."
Soon they were interrupted as Jax comes up from behind them and grabs both of their heads. Jax then rams both Leomon's and Xveemon's heads together as if they were drums. Jax then executes a kick to the back of Leomon's head and an elbow into Xveemon's gut. Both digimon fell to their knees while recovering from their injuries inflicted by the powerful artificial.
Stingmon turns around and goes to slash Sonja's head off with his Spiking Strike, but she was able to quickly drop down. Sonja wrenches back with her foot and delivers a stinging boot to the abdomen of Stingmon. Stingmon goes sprawling back while holding his chest.
"Hang on guys! Allow me," Pegasusmon cried out, "Star Shower!"
Pegasusmon spreads his wings out and releases a powerful ray of energy and sends it down at Sonja. The beams nailed Sonja as she went flying back.
"I've got her! Now I have to keep attacking her and not allow her to get any second chances."
But as soon as he said that, Sonja had already disappeared. This had caught both TK and Pegasusmon by surprise.
"No way! She's gone!" Pegasusmon said frantically.
Pegausmon turned around and was met with a kick to the side of his side. This kick was delivered from Sonja, who had already phased right at Pegasusmon's side. The armored digimon goes crashing down into the ground.
Sonja hovered down to see her three victims squirming around in tremendous pain. Metalla X was slowly getting to his feet. A smile came across the face of Sonja as she watched him get to his feet.
"No… You won't destroy my pride, artificial. Mark my words…"
"Well that's funny. Because, just a while ago, I made you cry like a little baby. Some pride you got."
"Why you?! How dare you…"
But he was unable to finish his sentence as he fell back down while coughing in tremendous pain. But Metalla X was letting his pride and anger overcoming the pain that he was enduring. He was feeding off his own anger just to continue his fight with Sonja. In his mind, he was superior to artificials and a fighter such as himself should be able to defeat scraps of metal.
"No! I can beat her! She's no match for our combined power! It's impossible that she's stronger than me! But I will not allow myself to be defeated! I'll never let a simple artificial destroy my pride."
As soon as he said that, Metalla X jumps up and goes for a spin kick to Sonja. But she was able to quickly duck under and deliver a devastating kick to his midsection. Metalla X's eyes widened as he let out a cry of pain. Sonja brought her foot down and nails an elbow to his face. Metalla X goes falling down to the ground as his energy supply was quickly depleting as a result of using up too much power during his battles. Sonja had now put down one fused digimon with ease and it didn't look like she even broke a sweat.
Xveemon and Leomon still hammered away at Jax, in attempt to get in some good shots in. However, they have been unsuccessful. Davis could only watch on and hope that Xveemon would put the evil artificial away for good.
"C'mon Xveemon! Show him what you're made of! Blast him! Kick him! Do something!"
"I can't if he keeps moving around too much! Ok that does it! Now you made me mad, you bucket of bolts! V-Laser!"
Xveemon folded his arms and pushed forward as he released a powerful beam of energy. He shoots it straight for Jax. Leomon wrenches back as his fist started to glow.
"Fist of the Beast King!"
Leomon pushed his fist forward and released an energy beam shaped like a lion's head. Both attacks were straight for Jax as they actually nailed him. An explosion occurred.
"Yeah! You got him!" Davis cheered.
"I told ya we can handle him!" Xveemon said.
"Don't be too sure. That blast didn't do him in," replied Leomon.
"Huh?! What do you mean?! That blast would have wiped him out!"
"Well take a better look for yourself."
Xveemon turned to see the cloud of smoke disappear and his eyes widened with shock at what he saw. He could see Jax standing without a single scratch made on his body.
"But… But… That's impossible," Davis said.
"Well so much for luck," replied Leomon.
"Impressive attack! I must say, Xveemon. For a champion leveled life form, you managed to catch me by surprise there for the last few seconds. But I was able to deflect them just in time," Jax said, "So are we done with these childish games? If so, then it's my turn to return the favor."
"Great. Why doesn't that surprise me," Xveemon said.
Jax quickly phased out and reappeared right behind Xveemon. Xveemon turned around and was met with a spinning wheel kick to his face. Leomon went to punch Jax but Jax ducked under and executed an elbow shot into Leomon's gut. The mighty warrior cried out in pain as the artificial elbowed him in the gut once again. Leomon staggered back which allowed Jax to blast him with a mighty punch to his face. The force of the punch caused Leomon to fly back and hit a nearby cliff wall.
"Ugh! I can't take much more of this!" Yolei said.
"These things are too much for our digimon to handle!" Ken said.
TK turned to see Black War Greymon just standing over on the other side and not moving a muscle.
"Hmmm. I wonder why he isn't getting involved in the battle. Maybe he's some sort of back up plan just in case the two manage to lose the battle. Or maybe he has his own agenda. Whatever the reason maybe, he just stands there, which makes it even more confusing to know what he's going to do next."
Metalla X was down and out as his body started to glow. He got up onto his feet and cried out with tremendous pain and agony. Suddenly within seconds, he was split apart in two halves. Metalla X now has reverted back to Matt and Gabumon. Their fusion power has decreased which caused them to split apart. Angemon X received the same treatment as his body started to glow. He then split into two halves and Angemon X reverted back to Dimitri and Patamon.
"Well. This is quite interesting. They're back to their weakened forms," said Sonja, "I must have done them in quite well."
"Nicely done," Jax replied, "Hey look out!"
Aquillamon and Stingmon appeared right behind Sonja and shot out several blasts at her.
"Blast Ring!"
"Spiking Strike!"
Sonja was able to maneuver away from both attacks and quickly phased out. Aquillamon turned to get nailed right in the face from a spinning back kick delivered by Sonja. Stingmon attempts to grab Sonja but gets blasted away by a large blast from behind. Stingmon turned to see Jax holding out his hand. Sonja takes advantage and delivers an elbow shot to the back of Stingmon. Jax fires away several more blasts which send Stingmon reeling back. Sonja blasts Stingmon with a large beam which causes him to de-evolve back to Wormmon.
"No! Wormmon," Ken cried out.
Aquillamon flies at the two artificials, until suddenly a large red ball of energy came out of nowhere and nailed Aquillamon right in the back. Aquillamon goes flying down into the ground as he crashed down and de-evolved back to Hawkmon. The momentum of the Digi-Destined's digimon has now taken a turn for the worse.
"Hawkmon! No! Where did that come from?" Yolei asked frantically.
"Up there! Look! I didn't even see that coming," TK cried out as he pointed up.
The Digi-Destined all looked up to see what they didn't expect to attack so quickly and out of nowhere. To their surprise, it was Black War Greymon with his hands steaming after releasing that large energy ball. Black War Greymon hovers down while catching his breath.
"Well done, Black War Greymon!" Jax replied, "I didn't expect you to break out of your silence that sudden. I must say, you scared the wits off of us!"
"Nicely done," said Sonja.
The artificials took a look at the carnage that was left in their wake. They have defeated two fusion digimon,four champion leveled digimon and an armored digimon. This wasn't a good thing as far as the Digi-Destined was concerned. They have officially lost this battle against the artificials. The reality has come true. The nightmare has come true, now the destruction of humankind was soon at hand.
"We've lost," Yolei said, "They've beaten us! There's no hope left!"
"Hey you better get your ass up," Davis growled, "Its not over yet!"
"Davis, are you blind because we just got out butts handed to us. Our digimon were beaten with ease! And the two fusion digimon were unable to defeat them! This is not good news," TK said.
"I can't believe this is happening," Ken said, "Brother. We have lost… I'm sorry…"
TK looked down towards his brother and Gabumon. He slid down the cliff and into the rocky pit below. He managed to land on his feet without straining a muscle in his leg. He runs over towards his fallen brother and holds him up.
"Matt… C'mon! Wake up!"
Jax and Sonja flew up towards Black War Greymon with satisfied looks on their faces. Ken and Yolei both went sliding down into the rocky pit in order to help revive Leomon and the others.
TK crawled over to Dimitri and shook him. Dimitri looked just about out of it. Matt wasn't looking any good either.
"You guys! They're not looking good as far as I'm concerned," TK said, "Man at least they're not infected. At least, I hope not."
Jax looked down with disappointment. He turned to face Sonja.
"I told you that they would be no threat to us and did they listen? Now look where it has gotten them," Jax said.
"It's just too embarrassing to watch. I say we get out of here and get our mission out of the way. I'm just dying to get it over with," replied Sonja.
"Well killing Taichi won't be easy until he find him," Jax said, "That's the whole challenge of it. I say we take this time to find Taichi and pretend it's our little game."
"Whatever. I just want to get out of here."
Davis was the only one standing around as he turned to face the artificials. He clenched his fists and pointed towards them.
"Hey you!"
The three artificials turned to face him and looked at Davis as if he were crazy and out of his mind.
"You kicked the crap out of Xveemon! I don't appreciate that! When he gets up, he's going to run you guys down! Do you hear me?!"
"Ha. He's just as delusional as ever," Jax chuckled, "So you're Davis Motomiya? Yeah I know you like the back of my hand."
"Oh yeah?! What do you know about me?!"
"That you're an annoying little punk," Jax said.
"I'm a what?!"
"You heard me. Do you really think that dinosaur stood a chance against either of us?"
"Why are you asking me?! He was the one fighting you!"
"Ha. He's delusional but he's quite a cute guy," Sonja said.
Sonja's comment had caught Davis by surprise. He had just heard the female artificial call him 'cute'. Davis admits that he is quite a handsome guy but he never expected a comment from an evil, yet beautiful artificial such as Sonja.
"You think he's cute?" Jax asked, "Ugh. I don't understand you women. You always let guys take advantage of you. C'mon, he's not even our priority at this very moment."
"Hey, just because I'm not real doesn't mean I can start looking for some cute guys!"
"You're so impossible."
Davis turned his head back and forth as he watched the two artificials argue with one another over something so simple. They seemed like little siblings arguing over the last cookie. Now it seemed Sonja was not going to take any crap from Jax what so ever.
"Geez! These guys argue more than Jun and I do on a daily basis. And Jun is not the intelligent type either. But I don't get that girl. She thinks I'm cute? Well, this is getting a lot more interesting than I first thought."
The two artificials continued their argument as Davis looked down at Xveemon. The mighty dinosaur was not looking good at the moment but that would soon all change as Davis' D-3 started to glow. Davis took out his D-3 and watched as a ray of energy hit Xveemon. The energy itself helped refuel Xveemon's power supply that he had lost during the battle itself. Xveemon felt his adrenaline rush as he quickly sat up. He looked up at Davis.
"Ahhh! That was a nice little nap. And you just gave me the medicine that I was looking for. Davis, what are you doing up there?! Get away from them!"
Xveemon flies up towards Davis and stands face to face against the three artificials.
"You three better lay off my friend or else!"
*****************************************************************
Back at Kyoto, the other Digi-Destined were helping their leader make through a speedy recovery.
"So, how's Tai holding on?" asked Mimi.
"He's looking a little bit better. He hasn't been sweating that much and breathing that hard," Sora said.
"Same can be said for Agumon. But we don't know how long this rest period is going to last," said Biyomon.
"If you ask me, this D-Virus is really a pain in the neck," Palmon replied.
Izzy was hard at work typing in codes to access the nearest hospital. He tried everything but it seemed as though that every phone line has been disconnected by some sort of electrical surge.
"Hmmm. The phone lines are dead, but my internet connection is not. I can't even make a call to the nearest hospital," Izzy said.
"We're going to have to do something because we don't know how long Tai is going to make it through. Jeez, I've never seen anything like the D-Virus," Joe said, "And I wanted to be a doctor of all jobs. Even helping people can give me a headache."
"But Tai is doing better at the moment. That's all that matters," said Sora.
"Hold on! There's a newsflash," Izzy said, "I better turn on the radio connection that I installed in my laptop."
Izzy uploaded a radio news bulletin that he located while trying to pinpoint locations in the city of Kyoto. He turned up the volume for everybody to get a chance to hear it.
"This just in. People in the city of Kyoto are slowly passing out on the streets and some bodies have been found to be disintegrating. We have no information on this issue, but it seems like an outbreak is taking place among the citizens of Kyoto! We urge all people to remain indoors until the military arrive to evacuate everyone from the area. I repeat, stay in doors! The military shall arrive to help evacuate every non-infected person out of Kyoto."
"Oh that's terrible," Mimi said.
"Looks like the D-Virus itself is doing the more damage than the artificials had this morning," Izzy said, "We can't even go into Kyoto now that the military are about to arrive there."
"So what are we going to do about Tai? We can't just stand out here," Sora said, "Besides Kari is on her way over here and if we leave, she's going to winder where we left to."
"You're right about that. But we can just send her an email of our current location. It wouldn't make sense if we didn't tell Kari ahead of time anyway," Michael replied.
"You guys have convinced me far enough. I say we move out," Izzy said.
"Hold on a second. We can't just leave those people to die out there," Tentomon said, "Remember our plan of using Birdramon and me to spread the antidote out by flying up."
"Right but have you forgotten that the military will find out about your presence and they could see you as the enemy," said Izzy, "And we can't let that happen."
"But it's worth a try," Biyomon replied, "Sora. We have got to do this."
"But…"
"Please, Sora. We're not only here to protect you but also of other innocent lives. Those artificials were the ones who started this mess and now we shall clean it up."
Sora could only think for a moment. Would she risk letting Biyomon go out in the line of fire and spread the antidote out all over the infected city? Sora had a choice to make and so did Izzy.
"Well?"
Sora sighed and nodded. Biyomon hugged her happily. Izzy gave thumbs up to Tentomon. "Don't worry, Izzy. We won't take long. We got this on in the bag," Tentomon said.
"Be careful!"
Tentomon and Biyomon placed the antidote powder on their wings. They were now set to digivolve as Sora and Izzy's digivices glowed to give them the power to digivolve into their champion leveled forms.
["Evolution" plays]
"Biymon shinka! Birdramon!"
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"
Birdramon flies up towards the west and north section of Kyoto. She quickly flies over that section of the city and releases the antidote powder. The people looked on but they started screaming out 'monster' in total horror. There was now crowds screaming in terror and running away. Kabuterimon took the south and east portions and dropped some of the antidote powder over those portions of the city. Birdramon and Kabuterimon watched as a red cloud started to form across the city itself. The cloud started to fade away which was a good sign considering the fact that the antidote is airborne and will be able to help the people who were infected by the D-Virus.
"Alright, great work! You two better pull out of there before you cause a city crisis when the military gets there," Izzy said.
Kabuterimon and Birdramon headed back over towards the Digi-Destined just outside the city limits of Kyoto.
"Alright! I say we get away from here and head back over to Odaiba," Sora said, "I better send an email to Kari and let her know that we're heading on over there."
"Alright gang. We've heading out. Let's go," Izzy said.
Izzy hopped onto Kabuterimon along with Mimi, Palmon, Michael and Betamon. They headed out towartds the direction leading to Odaiba. Sora picks up Tai and places him in the mouth of Birdramon. She then picks up Agumon and places him where Tai was laying.
"Make sure you don't swallow them."
"Ha. Very funny."
Birdramon flew off and followed Kabuterimon's directions. Sora pulls out her D-Terminal to send an email to Kari.
"I just hope she's not too far from here. Cause I would hate to make her change directions at the last minute."
******************************************************************
Nefertimon was flying over the oceans below her as she was heading towards Kyoto. She had remembered to head over to Odaiba, since she and Kari were told that the others would be heading to Odaiba if things in Kyoto made a turn for the worse. Kari received the email message from Sora and read it.
"So, what does it say?"
"It's from Sora. She wants us to head on over to Odaiba. They said that they used the antidote in a form of a large cloud of smoke to help the infected people in Kyoto. But because of military involvement, they were now going to move Tai back at Odaiba."
"Sounds like a plan and not a bad move."
"Right. Let's head on over there right away."
"All I got to say is to hang on tight."
Kari held onto Nefertimon as they headed off towards Odaiba. All Kari could think about was the condition of her brother and the welfare of the other Digi-Destined.
"Hang in there, big brother. I'm on my way over there. Oh, I hope the others are holding off those artificials. I have a feeling that they might have already been beaten by those artificials by now but I can't lose hope now. We're the Digi-Destined after all. We can't lose."
******************************************************************
Xveemon and Davis stood their ground as they confronted the three artificials in a stand off. Jax smiled as he faced Xveemon.
"You know. I would so love to stay here and fight you but you two aren't apart of our priorities. You see, we're out to look for somebody and you two are interfering in our business. Now step aside if you wish to have your souls spared."
"Not a chance! Xveemon!"
Xveemon stood in front of Davis and got into a fighting stance.
"You two are the not ones we are looking for. We are out to find and kill Taichi. Now stand aside!"
"Taichi? You mean Tai? But why would you want to kill Tai? What has he ever done to you three?"
"Nothing. We're just out fulfilling a mission," Jax said.
"Um! Hello! Just listen to yourselves! You were the one who blew Datamon's brains out!" Xveemon said.
"Yes. I remember that but we're out to fulfill our own mission. Once that is complete, then it will be over."
"Then you won't come and kill us?" Davis asked in a confused manner.
"Nah. Why waste our times on you and your friends? We're just out to kill Taichi and to have fun."
"So this is just a game?"
"You hit the nail on the head, Davis," Jax replied, "So. If you don't mind, we got a mission to fulfill. Come on, Sonja. We're leaving."
Jax walks past Davis and Xveemon leaving the two with confused looks on their faces. Then Sonja and Black War Greymon were the next to follow.
"So, Black War Greymon, are you ready to begin our mission?" asked Jax.
"Yes."
"Ok. It's settled then."
"No wait! Wait!" Davis cried out.
"And what do you want?" asked Jax.
"You don't have to go through with this! You don't have to go and kill Tai! It's pointless! You killed the evil creator. This nightmare should be over. It's not right. Please, Tai is sick at the moment because of the D-Virus! Please, I beg of you to not go and find him!"
Jax and Sonja could only look on with confused looks on their faces. It looks as though that they have no idea of what the D-Virus was, since the time period here was very different than the one in Dimitri's time. However, nothing will stop them from fulfilling their mission.
Black War Greymon nodded and began to speak up.
"No. I was designed to destroy both Taichi and Agumon. I have no choice. I was programmed to do so."
"Well there you have it, Motomiya. So anymore questions before we head out?" asked Jax, "No? Ok then. Let's go guys."
Davis clenched his fists angrily and he sighed with disbelief. He had tried his best to convince them not to find Tai. But now it looks as though they won't even listen to his words.
"Don't worry so much about Tai," Jax said, "If I were you, I would go and help your friends. They could use some recharging from your friend's digivices and D-3s."
"Huh?"
Davis saw Sonja walking up to him with a smile on her face. He looked up at her and she bent over to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Uhh… What?"
"You heard him. Help your friends. It's the best way to go. Well, bye cutie."
Sonja and Jax walk over to Black War Greymon as they all hovered up into the air. Now they flew off somewhere to find Taichi and Agumon to fulfill their mission once and for all. Davis could only look on with a confused look on his face. These three had left quite a weird presence and Davis felt strange vibes ever since Sonja gave him a kiss on his cheek.
"What was that kiss for? A kiss of death? She didn't seem all that bad. But those three… How can they go on like this? They know that they don't have to fulfill their mission with Datamon dead. I just don't understand this one bit,"Davis said in thought.
The three artificials flew away as they began their search for Tai and Agumon. By a matter of moments, they all disappeared into the skies, while Davis and Xveemon looked on.
"We can't let them find Tai! We better tell the others right away!" Davis said.
"Yeah but we have to help the others first. They just got their butts handed to them."
"You're right. Hey guys! Use your D-3s! They will revive the digimon with more power!"
They all nodded and pulled out their D-3s. TK pulled out his D-3 but stopped to look up to Davis.
"Hey, Davis! Where did they go?"
"They… They left. They left to find Tai! That's why I said to revive the digimon, so we can go and stop them!"
"And fight them again? Davis, we're no match for those things," Yolei said, "If you just saw what happened unless you got nailed in the head by a hammer, we all witnessed our digimon getting their butts kicked!"
"Yeah, I saw everything. I'm not an idiot. And that's why I suggest we stop from them finding Tai! They're going to kill him if they do locate him," Davis replied.
"Shit. There's no time to loose. But I thought that they rebelled against Datamon's orders," Ken said.
"Well, they have their own agenda now. They're going to find Tai and if we don't do something, he's going to die."
"Right! Alright guys! There's no time to waste, we revive our digimon. Then we'll revive Matt, Leomon and Dimitri," TK said.
They all nodded in agreement. Yolei holds out her D-3 and looks on to see an energy beam hit Hawkmon. Hawkmon felt his body filled with new, pure energy. Ken watched as his D-3 gave Wormmon more power to his energy supply. TK watched as Pegasusmon de-evolved back to Patamon but was give more power from the glowing D-3.
"Ok. Let's all revive the other three," Davis said.
They all held out their D-3's and watched as beams nail Dimitri, Leomon and Matt's fallen bodies. As soon as that took place, Matt's digivice and Dimitri's D-3 were activated once again to allow Gabumon and Dimitri's Patamon to reawaken.
"It's working you guys. Yeah, now we're officially back in the game!" Davis said.
Matt and Dimitri slowly sat up as did Leomon. Matt was shocked to see himself back to normal, but he could remember everything that had occurred. Dimitri looked at his sword and noticed that the tip of it was shattered into pieces.
"Its great to see you guys back on your feet. Man, I tell you. We are in serious trouble as we speak," Davis said, "Those three artificials are gone. They're out looking for the other Digi-Destined, more specifically Tai."
"Ugh, that's not a good thing. My sword was ineffective against those things, even when Patamon and I fused to become Angemon X," Dimitri said.
"They're probably nowhere near the location of the other Digi-Destined. I say we plan out our next move," Leomon said, "I say we continue our search for them, but one of us must go back and warn the other Digi-Destined about the artificials."
"Right. Then I shall be the one to do it," TK said, "Besides I'll bet they're away from Kyoto by now."
"Alright, then the rest of us can go out and look for those artificials before they locate Tai," Leomon explained even further.
Matt looked up into the sky and growled angrily. He couldn't believe that he and Gabumon in their fusion form was unable to defeat the artificials. He felt humiliated and would not let that happen to him ever again. He held his digivice and turned to face Gabumon.
"Matt, what's wrong?"
"This is wrong. We won't allow ourselves to be defeated again. So I say, we look for those artificials ourselves!"
"What about the others?"
"Let them do as they please, but this is something we have to do ourselves! Now, digivolve Gabumon! We got to get our heads straightened out."
Matt held out his digivice, which was beginning to glow and then his chest started to glow the symbol of friendship, which allowed Gabumon to warp digivolve into his mega form.
"Gabumon warp shinka!"
A beam of light hit Gabumon as he evolved through all of his evolution stages. First into Garurumon and then into Were Garurumon. Finally, he evolves into Metal Garurumon.
"Metal Garurumon!"
Metal Garurumon let out an angry cry as his body started to glow a bright aura of light. Matt hopped onto his digimon and they set off into the air. The others turned to see them get away.
"Matt! What the hell do you think you're doing," TK cried out.
"No! I got to stop him!" Dimitri said.
"Dimitri! TK! You two stop right there!" Leomon said.
"Huh? But… Why? He's going to get himself killed if he fights them again," Dimitri said.
"Let him go. He's just need to readjust himself out of his anger period," Leomon said, "He's taking a time out."
"Oh. Well that's a relief but just hope he doesn't get the wrong idea and decides to fight those artificials again," TK said.
"No kidding. But Matt has changed a lot ever since he and Gabumon fused into Metalla X. I gotta wonder how Gabumon feels about Matt nowadays," Ken said.
"Dimitri. When you and Patamon fused to become Angemon X and fought Burizalor three years, you didn't even break a sweat. You took care of him rather easily. But now it seems that these artificials are even stronger than you," Yolei said.
"Yes your right. They are a lot more powerful than the artificials from my time," Dimitri said.
"Say what?!"
"Yeah. It's strange but the artificials are very powerful indeed. But in this time period, I never expected them to be a lot stronger than the ones in my time period. Everything is going out of proportion and my predictions haven't been looking too sharp either," he continued on.
"If that's the case then we're going to have to take a different approach to this situation," Leomon said.
"And how you propose on going through with that?" asked Xveemon.
"I don't know just yet, but I'll decide."
"What's on your mind, Leomon? Do you have a plan? Wow, if you do, you could share it with us," Davis said.
"No. Not just yet. I'm not sure if it will work but I must try."
"Ummm and what are you referring to?" asked TK.
Leomon looked up as if he knew what to do next, but he shouldn't let the others know about what his plan was all about. The others were quite curious to know but he wasn't ready to let them know at this very moment.
"C'mon you can tell us," Davis said, "What's your plan?"
"I must go."
"Go where?" asked Ken.
"I must go and talk to the higher powers about this situation. Maybe there is still some hope left. I shall be back," Leomon said.
With that said, Leomon runs off and then flies off. The others could only look on with confused looks on their faces.
"Ugh. Don't tell me he needs a time out period too," Yolei said.
"I don't know where's he off to, but I'll bet its something that will really become a big help to our benefit," TK said, "I can trust Leomon at what he's doing. Whatever it maybe…"
"But where's he heading off to? And what's this higher powers he's referring to?" asked Davis.
"Ha. Davis, you're silly. I'll tell you everything," Patamon said, "He's going off to see the four higher powers that watch over each four sections of the Digital World."
"Then who must be those four higher powers?" Davis asked.
"Duh! He's going to go see the four guardians of the Digital World!"
"Wait a second, you mean the four guardians that watch over the Digital World. I heard that story from a man I met in Kyoto."
"Who was this man?" asked Ken.
"Sora's father. He knew quite a lot about the legend. But how can Leomon find the four guardians if they're in the Digital World?" asked Davis.
"Davis. You are so full of questions. They're going to open a portal for him," Patamon said, "See how simple everything has to be explained to you."
"Yeah. Yeah. I get it now."
"Well now that's all settled. How do we prepare for the artificials now? We're going to need than just two fusion warriors at the moment," Xveemon said, "if only Davis and I could fuse or Ken and Stingmon could fuse. Or anybody."
"Hmmm. It's going to take quite a lot of work but we're just going to have to fight those artificials ourselves," Dimitri said, "We will try our best. Who knows, maybe one of you will be the next to fuse with your digimon."
"I can't wait. You hear that Xveemon? That means you and I could become one unstoppable fighting machine," Davis said.
"Yeah if only you could handle my voice in your head."
"Yeah that would get a little nauseating."
"Ok, so it's all settled then? Alright, I say we split into two groups. Davis, Ken and Yolei, you three go off together. TK and I will go off and find the current location of the artificials. If we all do this in a timely fashion, then we could have a good chance at finding them," Dimitri said.
"Alright it's all settled. Hawkmon, you have enough energy to armor up!?"
"Oh yes, but to whom? Shurimon or Halsemon? Which do you prefer?"
"Halsemon shall do the trick, besides we're just out to scout the entire area."
"Alright then!"
Yolei activates her D-Terminal and watches as her Digimental of Love gave Hawkmon the power to armor digivolve into his armored form.
["Break Up!" plays]
"Armor Shinka Energize!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Halsemon, the Wings of Love! "
"Wormmon!"
Ken's D-3 glowed and it gave Wormmon the power to evolve into his champion-leveled form.
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
"Let's go gang! We can't afford to waste any more time," Davis said, "Xveemon you lead the way!"
"Right!"
Xveemon led the way for Halsemon and Stingmon as they set off to look for the three artificials as fast as they could. TK and Dimitri stood there watching their comrades set off on their mission.
"Well, it's just you and me, TK," Dimitri said, "By the way, I need to ask you a question."
"What is it?"
"Well. I really need to know. Is Matt always like this?"
"Hey, it's alright. I know for a fact that you're my brother's son and it's cool to know that you're one of the Digi-Destined's next generations. It's really good to know that even in future time, the tradition of a Digi-Destined still lives on."
"I was honored to become one. Ever since my father died, I was for sure that I was the one destined to take his place and save my future time from those evil artificials."
"And as far as your mother is concerned, I'm sure she'd be proud of you. But as far as present day Mimi is concerned, she will be quite shocked to know that you will be her future son."
"Yeah she would be."
"So, what do you say? I say we head back over to Odaiba and check to see if the others are there by now."
"Yeah, are you up for it, Patamon?"
"You can count on me Dimitri."
TK and Dimitri's D-Terminals activated as two Digimentals came flying out. The two items allowed both of their Patamons to evolve into their armored forms.
"Armor Shinka Energize!"
"Patamon armor shinka! Pegasusmon, the Galloping Hope!"
"Patamon armor shinka! Pegasusmon, the Galloping Hope!"
"Wow. Talk about your double mint twins!" TK remarked.
"Come on, TK. We have to get to Odaiba as soon as possible!" Dimitri said
"Right!"
Both boys hopped onto their respective Pegasusmon and they both set off towards the direction that would lead them towards Odaiba. But little did they realize that Kari would soon be on her way over there as soon as possible.
"Oh, young father. Why must you be difficult sometimes? Maybe this cool off period will do you some good."
******************************************************************
Elsewhere, Matt and Metal Garurumon were heading towards somewhere to revise the events that had just taken place. Matt is still angered how he and Gabumon in the fusion form were unable to defeat the artificials. Matt felt he was an indestructible fighter and was confident about beating the artificials but he was humiliated and embarrassed by what he calls "low class pieces of junk".
"I'll show them! Just you and wait see, artificials! When I get out of my cooling period, I'll teach you never to humiliate me. Mark my words, revenge shall be ours."
With that said, Metal Garurumon powered up with a red glow in his eyes. He felt the same kind of anger that Matt was feeling. It was quite symbolic since both share the same kind of emotion as far as the anger and desire was concerned.
*******************************************************************
Leomon was heading towards a valey landscaoe where he was told ahead of time about a portal that would open up and lead him towards the land of the four digimon guardians.
"Ah. There it is."
A large portal opened up out of nowhere leading into the Digital World. Leomon went through the portal just in time before it would close up on him. Leomon then found himself in a dark landscape with bright cliuds hovering from above.
"So this is the dormant of the four guardians? Well, this must been the place where Tai and Agumon ahve been training all this time. The guardians must have did something drastic to enable them to perfect the fusion technique. Maybe, just maybe. I can get the answers I have been seeking for."
As soon as he said that, he flew across the open domain in search for one of the four guardians.
*******************************************************************
Azulongmon was flying across the domain and protecting his boundaries. He made sure that no intruders would enter and challenge his power. Suddenly, he felt a tremendous energy level heading towards his direction.
"Well. Well. Long time no see, Leomon. I wonder what he wants this time."
"Who is it, Azulongmon?" a voice asked him.
Azulongmon turned to face the person who had asked him the question. To his surprise, he could see a young man standing in front of him.
"Who must you be?"
The young man uncloaked himself and he looked up to face Azulongmon. The mighty dragon quickly was able to recognize him.
"Gennai! My! My! You managed to take your digi-vitamins quite well. How did you manage to become young again and I thought you had passed away."
"That is quite a mystery in itself. My digital information was deleted but now I have returned with a whole new look. Being an old man is quite a pain when you have to walk and sleep all day."
"I see what you mean. X must have been responsible for this."
"Yes, he's helped rejuvenate my lost powers."
"That's good to know. X has been quite helpful. Gennai, my friend, I can sense Leomon on his way over here."
"Yes. I can tell. I must say that he has impressed me over the past few years."
"Leomon has gotten better and better as far as his fighting techniques are concerned. Yes, I can picture all those many years ago."
Azulongmon's Inner thoughts
Leomon had made a name for himself as one of the Digital World's most resourceful warriors in his short history. He has battled through many challenges and fought the most evil of all digimon. His greatest rival during the peak of his warrior live was none other than Ogremon. These two were at each other's throats. But it was Leomon who always came out on top.
Leomon had also predicted that eight powerful beings would arrive from another dimension to help him combat the forces of evil. And those beings would be none other than the Digi-Destined. However, seven had only arrived at that time. But that was more than enough as they took on Devimon on File Island.
It was a tough battle to say the least but it was Angemon who came and saved the day. Leomon also made another prediction that these seven children alone would eventually have the power to defeat the Digital World's most destructive being, that being Burizalor.
Soon, rumors and legends foretold of the fusion warrior were being a hot discussion topic during the evil reign of Burizalor. The four guardians themselves had hoped that the legend of the fusion warrior would come true. Leomon had not given up hope on that legend and guarantees that one of the eight children would eventually reach that status of power.
However, Leomon wasn't going to let Burizalor's evil forces destroy his domain. He stood up against the evil tyrant and fought through against all odds to protect those he was destined to watch over. His power grew tremendously after gaining hard training from X. X helped Leomon become the warrior that he has now become. This leads to Leomon being revived by the digitcores. After that, Leomon went out to confront Burizalor. His mission was to protect the Digi-Destined, especially from the likes of the once dominate tyrant beast.
Leomon took manners into his own hands and digivolved into Saberleomon. With his new powers, he challenged Burizalor and battled the evil tyrant into a very close battle. That was the last time that Leomon were reached his mega form and it's quite doubtful he'll ever become Saberleomon again. That's if he seeks the powers that made him a guardian in the first place, that is why he has come to see the four guardians for help. Yes. The time has come for him to realize his position and his time to reach new status of power has come.
End of inner thoughts
Leomon flew across the barren landscape in which he was getting closer and closer towards the landscape of Azulongmon. Xuanwumon looked up to see Leomon flying across his domain.
"Oh no. Here comes trouble!"Xuanwumon said in thought.
Leomon flew down towards the entrance of Azulongmon's domain and walked right through the gates.
"Hello Leomon. It's nice to see you!" Gennai said.
"Gennai? Is that you?"
"Yes. Don't I look better than I ever?"
"Hmmm. So X rejuvenated your lost powers. You didn't die after all."
"No way. Like digimon, I'm able to reformat myself when I pass away."
"Of course, you got proper treatment from X and regained your dormant powers.."
Leomon looked up and saw Azulongmon looking down upon him. Both of them stared each other down. Even Leomon wasn't afraid of a large godly power such as Azulongmon.
"You have something I need, Azulongmon!"
"So you have come? Well, Leomon. This has become quite a lot more interesting than I first thought."
Yes, this situation has gotten a lot more interesting. Now that Leomon has found Azulongmon, what kind of offer does he seek from the mighty guardian and how will Azulongmon play part in this whole artificial mess that has been getting out of hand? Will the Digi-Destined make it to Odaiba just in time before the artificals do?

[Preview]
Leomon: You have something I need Azulongmon. Those artificials are going to run rampant on earth. We need something that can at least stall them before Tai gets to full health.
Azulongmon: Yes, I have something that might help. However, it will take time…
Davis: Just why did Sonja give me that kiss? Is there something crossing her mind?
Azulongmon: There's more to then D-Virus than previously thought… I will give you everything I know up until this point…
Leomon: What's that?
Matt: Damn those artificials! Nobody humiliates me! Nobody! Revenge shall be mine…
Kari: We better get my brother to safety.
Jax: We'll find you, Taichi. You can't hide from us, forever.
Black War Greymon: Destiny awaits me. You're fate shall come, Taichi.
Izzy: What's this? It looks like some sort of pod that Dimitri traveled in, but it looks old and full of moss. I don't have any information on this…
Dimitri: I don't understand. That pod looks old… I already have mine… What's going on here?!
Ken: Next time on Digimon Fusion, episode twenty!

Max: So, the Digi-Destined have another problem to worry about? Shit, if they weren't fucked up before.
Keke: This match has been becoming more than just a fucking slobberknocker! Coral has been showing improvement and she doesn't look lik she's about to tire out.
Mick: These two have been trading blows, but it looks like Zeomon is gaining an advantage. He's going for his batented Nova Star!
[Zeomon stands down and shoots out blasts from his helmet. Coral phases away and delivers an elbowshot to his spine. Zeomon flies back.]
Coral: Don't keep your eyes off of me!
[Zeomon goes for a backelbow, but his elbow is caught by Coral. Coral sees an opening and delivers a kick to his ribs.]
Coral: Just to let you know, I'm being serious. I'm not kidding around anymore!
Zeomon: Never said you were. I just want to kick your ass for what you did to SSJ4T. He never asked to be your training dummy.
Coral: Is it my fault for not getting proper training? Anyway, this first match is mine!'
[With that said, Coral phases out above Zeomon and cups her hands together. Zeomon shoots out his Nova Star. Coral blasts Zeomon with a Kamehameha wave.]
Coral: First fall is mine.
Mick: Ow, damn! It doesn't look like Zeomon is getting up from that one! The first fall goes to Coral!
Coral: Get up, Zeomon! I know that didn't finish you off.
[Zeomon gets up with little wounds. He simply dusts himself off and nods his head.]
Zeomon: I let you take that one. The second match is going to get ugly. I hope you brought insurance, because I've got an ambulance ready for you!
Coral: Bring it on! I promise you won't walking after this one!
Max: The second match will be in the next chapter of the artificial saga! We hope you'll be here! Mick will officially call the match until we have a winner. It's Coral with 1 win over Zeomon! Can Zeomon make it one for one?
[Just then, a young girl with beautiful emerald dress, a tiara around her forehead, gorgeous blue-green hair, green eyes, and delicate, soft skin comes walking towards the annoucer team.]
Max: Say, who are you?
Keke: You must be new here.
Celesta: Yes. Pleased to meet you all. My name is Celesta. I came to see how my friend, Coral, is doing.
Max: So far she's leading one against Zeomon.
Celesta: I hope they don't kill each other.
Coral: Hey, girl! Whatca doing here? Came to support me?
Celesta: You could say that. I just don't want anyone to die from this silly dispute.
Coral: No way. I'm not going to die.
Zeomon: No, but you're going to be begging to die.
Max: Alright! We've run out of time! Be sure to check out the next chapter to the artificial saga! Until then, peace!

Chapter Text
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine. It belongs to Akira Toriyama. However, the characters Jax, Sonja and Burizalor are mine. Lady Myotismon, Iceladydevimon, Elfmon and Funkymon are characters made by Dark Warrior. I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X, Keke, and Max, because Max Acorn created them and I got his permission to use them.
Max: Hey, guys! Welcome back! We're getting ready for the second match! Coral leads by one fall over Zeomon!
Keke: We'll see if Zeomon can pull through and make a comeback!
Celesta: If their first match was just a warm-up, I can't imagine how a real fight would turn out.
Max: Well, only one way to find out! Mick, it's your call.
Mick Foley: They're ready to kick each other's ass! Let the second match begin!
Zeomon: Bring it on, Coral. Now, I'm ready to go all out.
Coral: Ditto. By the way, that ambulance cart suits you better.
Zeomon: We'll see! Nova Star!
[Zeomon shoots out numerous blasts from his helmet. Coral dodges each blast and fazes out. Zeomon flies up and starts to scan the entire area. He easily pinpoints Coral's location and fires a devastating blast towards her direction. The blasts nail Coral on impact, which causes her to plummet to the ground.]
Zeomon: Ha! Gotcha!
Max: Damn! He just blasted Coral to kingdom come!
[Coral sits up and sees that Zeomon has disappeared. She turns around and is caught in a tight waist grip by Zeomon.]
Coral: How dare you touch me like that!
Zeomon: Um, no. I'm not like that.
[Zeomon levitates and takes Coral into the air. He then makes a u-turn and goes plummeting towards the ground. He releases his grip and drops Coral down to the earth. The impact creates a massive crater. Zeomon levitates over the crater and notices that Coral has disappeared. He looks up and is nailed by a spinning back kick. Coral flies down and delivers an elbow shot into Zeomon's abdomen.]
Keke: This fight could go on forever! It looks like it's down to anything goes!
Max: Can Zeomon make a comeback and tie with Coral in this best two out of three-match slobber knocker? We'll find out! Until then, you guys can read the latest chapter of the artificial saga! Enjoy!

The Artificials Are Closing In! Izzy Discovers an Unwelcome Revelation!
Dimitri and TK were on their way over to Kyoto while riding their respective Pegasusmon along the way. TK goes to send several emails to the other Digi-Destined telling of them of their location.
"TK, how can we be sure that they are already in Odaiba?"
"We'll know once we get an email back from any one of them. And I have a feeling that Kari is with them, so maybe she can fill us in on Tai's condition."
"So, the D-Virus managed to get him way after the fight with the artificials. I don't understand, in my time period, he was affected before the arrival of the artificials and he died. Not to mention those first artificials weren't the ones from my time."
"So Jax and Sonja are the ones we've been asked to watch out for?"
"Yes. It's them all right. But these present day artificials seem a lot stronger than the ones from my time period. Did something effect the time period in this world? What could have triggered such a shift?"
"That's a mystery in itself. But here's the thing, once we get Tai and Agumon back to full good health. We will have a good chance at beating those artificials. And I know for a fact that Tai and Agumon won't let us down. He hasn't done so ever since he became the leader of the Digi-Destined."
"Your right about one thing, he never lets anybody down."
"So, tell me, how's Mimi like in the future time?"
"My mother? Well, she's still as cheerful and sincere as she always been. But she's a lot more polite and wiser."
"So, she's broken out of her almost whiny and selfish habits."
"Yes ever since the artificials killed everybody close to us. She was afraid of losing me when I first challenged the artificials when I was a little boy."
"And how did you get Patamon as your digimon?"
"I guess you could say it was faith in itself. I got a digivice since both of my parents were former Digi-Destined. So, I became the next generation of the Chosen Children."
"But the only one, right?"
"Yes, unfortunately."
"Interesting. Well there's one thing for certain that I can guarantee you."
"What's that?"
"We'll make sure that this present time period doesn't end up having the same fate as your future time. There are always ways to change your destiny and this is the perfect time to change a destiny."
"Oh yes. And I am for one, looking forward to making sure that this present time is not effected by the artificials by whatever means necessary."
"That's the spirit and guess what? I just got email from Sora. She's telling us that they're already over at Odaiba as we speak. She also mentioned that Kari is also on her way over there."
"Great. We can tell them that we'll be heading over there as well."
"Right. I'll let the others know on that. You, Mimi will be quite surprised when we have to tell her about you being her future son."
"Oh boy. She's going to get a big kick out it."
"Ha. I know what you mean."
As they continued their conversation, they were getting closer and closer towards Odaiba but they needed more time to get there as soon as possible. The only thing that will hold them back for a while is the change of weather that occurs but the two Pegasusmon have found ways to increase their speed and to beat the weather that attempts to slow them down, whether it be rain or hail.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kari looked across a large city that was just ahead and a smile came across her face. She could see her hometown of Odaiba right before her eyes. She was at last home!
"Nefertimon! We're back in Odaiba! And I was told from Sora's email that she is here but I need to know their exact location."
"Don't worry about that I can just pick up the energy level readings from the other digimon. So just hang on tight."
Nefertimon flew across the skies with quick grace and speed. Kari held onto Nefertimon for her dearest life so that she wouldn't fall off. Nefertimon stopped and hovered down into an alleyway. She had found the perfect place for her to de-evolve back to Gatomon so that she won't cause any disturbance among the citizens in her armored form.
"So did you find them yet?"
"Yes. They're over at your apartment home."
"Are you sure?"
"My nose and ears are not just decorations that make up my face you know."
"I get it. Alright then, then that's where we're heading."
Nefertimon hovered down into the alleyway as she took the chance to de-evolve back to Gatomon. Kari hopped off and walked out of the small alleyway with Gatomon at her side.
"Ready, Gatomon?"
"Yeah lets go."
Kari and Gatomon headed off towards her apartment home where she would meet the other Digi-Destined and check on the condition of her brother.
"Tai. I hope your managing to pull through this devastating sickness. Just hang in there. Don't give up."
**************************************************************************************
Azulongmon and Leomon faced each other down. Something was going to take place and Leomon seems to be confident at his confrontation with the large guardian. Gennai could only watch as this intense showdown was taking place before his very eyes.
"You have something I need, Azulongmon."
"Well, Leomon. It's good to see you again. But please, calm yourself. You always seem to stress yourself out. So, what can I help you with?"
"I'm not here for a pleasant conversation, Azulongmon. Don't you realize what has been going on in the human realm?"
"What has been going on? Has the weather…"
"Look! There are a group of artificial killers that beaten the tar out of us, including the digimon! They have unlimited powers and they pose an enough threat to kill all of humankind. They were created by Datamon."
"Datamon? Yes. I remember him. That nuisance worked for Etemon at one point. But now he has gone and created advanced life forms after being sent into the human realm."
"But I don't get it. He was supposed to been sent to limbo."
"And so we thought. Right after Metal Greymon blasted away Etemon and his pyramid was being sucked into a vortex, they were all leading into limbo. Just think of it as a digimon vacuum cleaner. But a disruption had occurred that we weren't even expecting."
"That's correct," replied Gennai, "And a vortex came out of nowhere. This portal would lead into the real world. Well, Datamon found himself there and we believe that is where he took the time to create advanced fighting warriors with unlimited powers. And this would certainly be something that Datamon would have done."
"Now answer this. How was he able to create the D-Virus?"
"He didn't" replied Azulongmon, "The D-Virus was supposed to have been a program in the Digital World that would wipe out every single virus-type digimon. However, Datamon managed to find the sources of the D-Viruses and he mutated it through many experiments while working for Etemon. This was considered his secret project but Etemon had tried to steal away Datamon's plans. So that is why they rebelled against one another because of the plans of the D-Virus."
"So, Datamon has been planning this from that start?"
"The D-Virus yes. But the artificials were never a priority for him until the Digi-Destined foiled his plans. He vowed to get back at the one named Tai, who had ruined his plain of creating an artificial Sora. So you could consider that his first attempt at creating an advanced artificial being. However, it was made up of data much like a digimon. So he decided to create artificials by his own handy work and with the help of cloning."
"He cloned?"
"We believe so. But we don't know the full details."
"Please, I need to know. I need to know how he could have achieved something as drastic as creating two human artificials. He couldn't have grown them in his secret lab."
"That is a mystery in itself. However, I can make a bold prediction," Gennai said.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, Datamon has so much knowledge on collecting DNA samples. So we believe that he could have taken some from two human beings that he had an encounter with. Or he could have used those two individuals for his sick experiment in creating two artificials."
"Hmmm. Maybe that could be a good explanation is to why they would rebel against their own creator. It makes perfect sense," Leomon said.
"But we don't know for sure. We don't know the sick games that Datamon could have used to his advantage."
"Yes. I understand now. And he could have placed enhancements into these two in order to give them the unlimited power supply that we encountered just today. But one question, do they have any knowledge into entering the Digital World?"
"Yes, I'm pretty sure they do," Azulongmon said, "But I don't think we should fear. They have no gateway into entering the Digital World. They got to have the right key to enter and that's something that they don't have in their possession."
"Then it's not too late to stop them. Azulongmon. I ask for your request by giving us the Digital Cores."
"You want the Digital Cores?"
"Yes. So once we harness its powers, then I should be able to use it to enable me to warp digivolve into Saberleomon. I have had tremendous difficulty trying to evolve into my once powerful form."
"Yes, that is true. But even all of that training you did for the last three years didn't help any," Azulongmon asked.
"No. It was quite difficult. So that is why I request of a power boost. I also request for the Digital Cores to enable the Digi-Destined's digimon to supply them with more energy, so it would enable some of them to fuse with their respective partner in order to reach their fusion forms. Thus far, only Tai, Matt and Dimitri have been able to fuse with their digimon. But I see full potential among the new Digi-Destined. Those being Davis, Ken, TK and Kari."
"Yes. They are quite the resourceful bunch," Gennai said, "Are you willing to go through with these courses of action?"
"Yes. In fact, these artificials were able to defeat even the two powerful fusion warriors. Those being Angemon X and Metalla X."
"So the boy from the future was unable to defeat them along with Yamato," asked Azulongmon, "Well this is getting more drastic than I previously thought."
"So, will you help us?"
Azulongmon looked down at Leomon as if he were reading his mind. The mighty guardian was buying his time and thinking of a good plan to go through with such a drastic action. But he had to make a choice. And that decision would have to be made now, not next time.
"Leomon. Let us wait. Thus far, I believe the artificials are not wrecking havoc as the boy from the future believed they would of been doing. He was right about one thing, the time period in this dimension is taking place much differently than it did in his future dimension."
"I know that but how is it different?"
"Well for one thing. Tai caught the D-Virus during the battle with the first artificials, that one artificial named Elfmon was able to inject Omega X with the deadly virus. Then once those three artificials were dealt with, then the real artificials that the boy had predicted to arrive did in fact emerge from their chambers. And so, they were able to defeat you all," explained Azulongmon.
"And for another thing, the boy also mentioned that the artificials of this time period were a lot more powerful than the ones from his future time period. So its safe to say that time is actually going and slipping out of proportion," Gennai said.
"And that's why we need the power of the Digital Cores. If we don't act now, then there's a good chance that the artificials will attack again and they will show no mercy when they find the boy of courage," Leomon said, "Please, we need the power of those cores."
"Like I said, I would rather wait to see what happens from here. In fact, once we wait for Tai and the others to recuperate, then we shall make our next plan of attack. Those artificials are the aggressors thus far. So let us wait and by our time," Azulongmon said.
Leomon could only stand around with an angered look on his face, since he has been wanting to getting back into action and stopping those artificials at all costs. But now he is forced to wait and see what the artificials have in store next.
"Just great. All right, Azulongmon. I just hope you know what you are doing."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Davis, Yolei and Ken were patrolling by air while riding their respective digimon, Xveemon, Halsemon and Stingmon.
"Ugh, all of this flying around is making my head ache. C'mon Davis, lets take a break, dude!" Xveemon complained.
"No way. We were told to look for those artificials and that is what we are going to do. You don't want to lay down on the job now do ya?"
"Well, I just want a nice comfy bed to lie on after all of this is over. And maybe a hot spa and a long vacation."
"Trust me. We do deserve a vacation after all of this is over," Yolei said, "Ugh, I just hate looking for things. These artificials are like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Yes, you could say it in that perspective," Halsemon replied.
"Well it sure isn't going to be any easier if we can't find them. This is getting us nowhere," Ken replied.
"As long as we keep our eyes peeled, we'll be able to look for them," Stingmon said.
"Speak for yourself! I'm getting tired of this looking around!" Xveemon cried out.
"I guess we should be heading back. There's just no point in continuing on with this," Davis said, "So what do you say we take a break from all this looking around and start heading back home."
"Sounds like a plan. I'll email TK and let him know," Ken said.
"You hear that, Halsemon?"
"Well it's about time!"
As soon as he said that, the three flying digimon turned the other way and towards the direction leading to Odaiba. The three children sighed a relief and were happy to be returning back home. However, Ken was still a little concerned with the whereabouts of the artificials.
"Hmmm. I wonder if they are anywhere near Odaiba. I just hope they don't find Tai before we do, then we're in serious trouble."
"What are you thinking about, Ken," Stingmon asked.
"I was just thinking of where the artificials could have gone. And I just hope they don't find Tai first before we do."
"We better not think like that or else it could really happen. So, lets stay on the positive side and keep on our focus on a more important thing."
"That's right. That's Tai's condition. Well, I can for one hope that the antidote will eventually cure him of the D-Virus."
"Hey Ken! Don't worry so much, if we stay on the positive side, then we'll know for sure once Tai gets all better and we all regroup. We will win this battle against these artificials," Davis said, "After all, we are Digi-Destined. Chosen children sworn to defeat all evil forces that opposes our authority."
"Ummm, lets cut that dramatic talk to a minimum," Yolei said.
"Right. We better hurry on other to Odaiba as soon as possible, Xveemon."
"You bet! You better hang on tight!"
"Hang tight on whaaaaa-"
Davis was about to finish his sentence until Xveemon boosted his energy and increased his speed. Stingmon and Halsemon increased their speed, which caught their partners by surprise. Now they would be able to make it to Odaiba at this rate of speed.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, on another section of Japan, the three artificials found themselves in an open grass field on a farmland. Jax surveyed the area and made sure that no people would get in their way.
"The area seems clear. So we should be able to move out," Jax replied.
"Well this sure doesn't look like Odaiba to me. Jax, are you sure you know where Odaiba is?"
"Of course I do. But I think we should take our time wisely. I'm in no mood to rush over such a small thing as executing Taichi at sight."
"Well. I wouldn't say that if Mr. No Personality here is anxious to fighting War Greymon."
"Is that right, Sonja? I better ask him myself then."
Jax walks up to the towering giant known as Black War Greymon. The digimon artifical looked down and gave Jax a very dark glare. It was enough to send chills down the spine of a normal person but Jax was showing no fear.
"So, are you really that anxious in fighting War Greymon?"
"Yes. However, I think buying our time should be the way to go. There's no rush in having to accomplish our mission. In fact, there's a whole new world to explore here and I intend to learn a lot about the human realm."
"Uh huh. Yeah. Whatever. Sonja, what do you think?"
"I think we should screw with this sight-seeing and continue on with our search."
"Ahhh come on. All I ever wanted to do is have a little fun. Just lighten up, woman."
"Don't call me that or I will rip your spine out."
"Go ahead and try but you'll waste perfectly good energy over something so stupid, when you could use it once we find Taichi and Agumon."
"Oh please, all you ever intend to do is take something as important as finding Taichi and making it into one of your own little games. Well I'm not in the mood for any games."
"Calm down. We have company."
"As a matter of fact, we do."
They turned around and saw several police officers surrounding them. They were ready to pull out their rifles.
"You three? You're trespassing on private property here. I'm going to have to ask you to move away or else there will be trouble, "one of the officers spoke up.
"Oh is that so? Well, what is the penalty if we don't want to meet those demands," asked a cool and clam Jax.
"Or you three circus freaks will be arrested and you will know your rights," the other officer said as he pulled out his handcuffs. "Now put your hands up. You too, ya… Um…"
The officers looked up at Black War Greymon and were shaking with fear. They were looking at a towering giant lumbering over them with a possessed look in his eyes.
"Or else what?" asked Black War Greymon, "Or shall I be forced to lash out my authority over you."
"Black War Greymon. No. Leave them, they are of no threat to us," replied Jax.
"Is that right?! All right, you three have talked far enough! You three have the right to remain..."
Sonja walks over towards the two officers and pulled away their pistols in a matter of seconds. This caught the officers by surprise as Sonja crushed them with both of her hands. The pistols were now pieces of metal and bullet powder after being crushed by Sonja's powerful hands.
"Now, you two were saying. Ah, yes. You were about to tell us our rights to remain silent?"
As soon as she said that, Sonja pointed her finger at them and an energy beam at them. However, the beam only hit the ground around the officers. They were caught by surprise as they started to run back. Sonja smiles and walks over to them. The officers cried out and ran away from her. They have now realized how deadly Sonja can be despite her outer beauty.
"Nicely done. But you could have blasted their brains out," Jax commented.
"Nah. They're weaklings. I have no time for weaklings. So lets continue out search for Taichi. I'm getting quite impatient. Plus I could use some new clothes right about now."
"Don't you woman ever get sick of trying on clothes everyday?"
"And don't you men ever get tired of blowing stuff up?"
Black War Greymon could only listen as they argued with one another. He had heard enough and flew away into the air to begin the search for Taichi. Jax and Sonja stopped their senseless arguing and followed their fellow artificial up. Now they would proceed with their search for Taichi and they intend to do it as soon as possible before the Digi-Destined make their next move in attacking them once again.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, many miles away from the islands, there was a large mountain in the middle of a small island in the middle of nowhere. Standing on the very top of the mountain was Metal Garurumon. Matt was sitting on top of him and everything that had occurred during the battle with the artificials were replaying in his mind. He could hear Sonja's voice replaying over and over again as if it were a broken record.
"Tell me, Yamato. How does it feel to withstand this much pain?"
"How does it feel?"
"How does it feel?"
"How does it feel?"
Matt was beginning to get angrier after listening to those words over and over again. He took them and used them to fuel the anger that was burning up inside of him. Metal Garurumon began to feel a surge of energy entering his body while Matt let out a cry of anger. This enabled both of them to quickly fuse with one another.
A bright flash of light was released as the mountain they were standing on was starting to shatter down into the ground. As the light faded away, there stood Metalla X. He hovered up and a bright aura of neon blue light emulated throughout his entire body. His eyes were starting to glow a blood shot-red.
"I'll show that artificial! If it's the last thing I'll do! The fusion warriors are the most powerful beings in the Digital World. We're supposed to be superior over everything that challenges our power. No matter what! But yet I was thrown aside as if I were a piece of trash. Well all of that is going to change once I fight them again. Then I shall become the legendary fusion warrior that helped preserve the Digital World and I will be the one who brings down these threats to humankind! Do you hear me, artificials?! If it means I have to work myself through hell and damnation, I will get even with you!"
Metalla X breathed heavily after speaking such big words through his anger and frustration. He let it all go but he would not rest until he fights the artificials. And his victory shall come in short order once he fights them again. He could care less what happens to the others as long as he beats the living life out of the artificials and to establish himself as a legendary fusion warrior.
**************************************************************************************
Kari and Gatomon made into the apartment home just in time. She ran into the living room to see Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi and Michael crowding around somebody.
"Hey, guys. I'm here."
"Kari! We're so glad that you managed to make it here," Sora said, "Tai is doing a lot better than we ever imagined. That antidote is really doing the trick."
"Wow. Is he able to speak?"
"He needs a little more time to rest. Don't worry, we already told your parents everything," Joe said.
"That's good to know. Isn't that just great to hear, Gatomon."
Gatomon nodded in agreement and she looked over to Tai and Agumon. Her feelings were with them and she hopes that they would be able to rise out of this predicament and lead the team against the artificials.
"Hey guys. I'm getting a strange reading from my laptop," Izzy said.
"What is it? Did your computer freeze again," Tentomon asked.
"No this time. There's a reading from within the Digital World. Something very odd is taking place and this email message sent to me pretty much explains it all."
The Digi-Destined gathered around to read the email that Izzy was referring to. They all gasped at what they read.
Izzy looked at his computer monitor and he couldn't believe at what he saw. He let out a gasp, which catches the attention of the other Digi-Destined. They all gathered around him to ask what bothered him.
"What is it, Izzy?" asked Sora.
"What did you see on your computer?" Joe asked.
"Its a message from the Digital World and it by the looks of it, it doesn't look good," Izzy said.
"Well, open the email message, so that we will know what is message concerning with," Tentomon said.
"Right. Lets take a little peek at this message."
Izzy clicked on the email message and began to wait as it loaded up. Within an instant, a message became visible on the computer monitor.
"Check this out you guys. It says here that there is some kind of pod that appeared in the forest just miles away from Primary Village. But Elecmon says that when he went to go investigate, he found some sort of mysterious shell within that pod. Seems to be that something has arrived in the Digital World and nobody knows for sure what this thing is."
"That's awfully strange. What kind of a thing would arrive in the Digital World through a pod?" asked Mimi.
"It couldn't have come from the dark realm, you think? I mean, are there other creeps working for Burizalor?" asked Joe.
"Well I say the only way to know is to investigate! And who knows investigating better than me," Gomamon remarked.
"That's why they call you detective Gomamon," said Biyomon.
"This isn't the time to joke around you guys," Michael said, "We have to find out what this thing is."
"Right. That's why we better send emails directly to Davis, Yolei, Ken, TK and Dimitri. I just hope they'll get here before we email them," said Izzy.
They all nodded in agreement. Sora pulls out her D-Terminal and begins to send a message to TK and Dimitri first. But as soon as she was going to send the message, Gatomon stood up and her ears began to perk.
"What is it, Gatomon?" Kari asked.
"I can sense Pegasusmon. There are two of them. Yeah! TK and Dimitri are about to arrive!"
"They are?! You guys! TK and Dimitri are coming! C'mon lets go!"
Kari and Gatomon headed out through the door and stopped to look out from the balcony. The other Digi-Destined soon followed her out. They all looked up to see two Pegasusmon flying down with TK and Dimitri on their backs. They waved out to their friends to catch their attention.
"Hey! We're here!" TK cried out, "Sorry for the wait!"
"Hey! About time you guys came! Come on, right down here," Kari cried out.
TK and Dimitri hopped off of their respective digimon as they reverted back into their rookie forms. TK and Dimitri headed up through the stairs to meet up with the others. Kari ran over to TK and took his hands.
"Wow. You must be excited to see me again, Kari."
"Yeah. I'm glad. You should really see Tai. He's feeling a lot better. Thank you, Dimitri. That antidote is really doing the trick."
"You're quite welcome."
Mimi noticed Dimitri and walked up to him. Dimitri looked over to the young girl and smiled. He couldn't believe that he was looking into the eyes of his own mother. However, Mimi wasn't aware of the fact that this young man who she thought was cute is her own son from the very distant future.
"Hi there, Dimitri. Its so good to see you again."
"Yes. Hello, Mimi."
"I would like for you to meet a friend of mine."
"Yes, I know. I saw you all three years ago."
"Oh so you know his name? Well, its good to know that you're a Digi-Destined."
"Well I wanted to keep the tradition of the original Digi-Destined alive so to speak."
Mimi noticed Dimitri blushing and she smiled. She knew that Dimitri was hiding something, so she decided to talk to him a little more. This way she can get to know him better.
"What are you hiding? I know you're hiding something, Dimitri? What are you hiding?"
"Maybe he has a crush on you," Palmon said.
"Hmmm, we'll just see and find out. So, you have a crush on me?"
Dimitri stepped back as Mimi walked up to him a little closer. He wanted to refrain himself from falling in love with Mimi. Yes, he did have love for his mother but not this way. He wouldn't feel right if a girl who had a crush on him was actually his own mother. It was a bizarre feeling but Dimitri couldn't hide the truth any longer. He was going to tell Mimi now in order to get her to realize the truth.
"Mimi. Listen. Its not that I have a crush on you..."
"Huh? What is it then?"
"Its the fact that… That…"
Dimitri felt restrained, as he couldn't even finish his sentence. Should he really tell his own mother this?
"C'mon man! This you're own mother! You have to tell her the truth! Its now or never…"
"Well, what is it, Dimitri?"
"Ok! I must confess to you now or you will never know. Ok? Are you ready to what I am about to tell you?"
"Yes."
"The truth is Mimi…is that…your…Mimi…your…my…"
"Yes?"
"That your own flesh and blood! Yes, your my mother!"
Mimi gasped in shock and couldn't believe at what Dimitri just told him. Sora, Joe, Izzy and Michael all couldn't believe at what they just heard Dimitri say. They had now found out from Dimitri's very own mouth that his mother is Mimi! Of all people, Mimi!
"Ok, and what proof do you have?"
Dimitri pulls out a photo that he kept for himself. He showed Mimi a picture of himself as a little boy with his mother at his side. Mimi took a really good look at the picture and slowly examined it. She gasped and couldn't believe what she saw.
"Is that me in the future? Ok... What's my crest symbol?"
"Easy. It's the Crest of Sincerity. C'mon, I know better."
"Name all of Palmon's digivolutions."
"Tanemon. Palmon. Togemon. Lillymon. I know her every attack. Poison Ivy. Needle Spray and Light Speed Jab. Not to mention her Flower Cannon."
"What's my favorite color?"
"Pink."
"What's my full name?"
"Mimi Tachikawa."
"My god. And you must be…"
"My full name is Dimitri Tachikawa Ishida. And yes my father is Yamato Ishida."
"Matt?! You mean we get married and have you?!"
"Yeah, that's pretty much it."
Mimi and Palmon both stood there with widened eyes. Their mouths almost dropped in total shock. The other Digi-Destined couldn't believe it.
"TK? Kari? You knew this the whole time?" asked Sora.
"Yeah. We had to keep it a secret until he tells you. We felt it was a lot better he were to confront Mimi about this."
"Wow. Yeah. I see the resemblance," Palmon said, "Mimi. He's got your facial features and your skin color."
"Wow. You know what? He does."
Mimi closely examines Dimitri as a smile comes over his face.
"So, you're not upset with all of this? Because I don't want to upset you and all..."
"No it's quite alright. But it's good to know that I have such a handsome son. You know, I didn't really expect to marry a guy like Matt. I thought for sure I was going to marry Michael or something. But Matt?"
"Its a long story. I'll tell you everything that you need to know a little later," replied Dimitri.
"Well everybody. Looks like I'm the luckiest woman in the world. My own son is the savior of the future."
"Mom. A-hem."
"Oh right. Sorry, I bet this is quite embarrassing to see your own mother make a fool out of herself, right," Mimi asked while giggling.
"Dimitri? What happened with the artificials? Did you beat them?" asked Joe.
Dimitri sighed and nodded his head. They all gasped at the fact that the combined forces of the Digi-Destined were unable to defeat the artificials.
"You mean even with you and Matt, you were still unable to beat them?" asked Sora, "This is bad."
"No. In fact, three new artificials showed up and they were stronger than all of us combined. Not even myself as Angemon X and Metalla X were unable to defeat them," Dimitri said.
"So, where did Matt go?" asked Mimi, "Wasn't he supposed to come back with you?"
"No. He left to find those artificials. Man I never realized how hard-headed and stubborn he really is."
"Well that's Matt. He's trying to find a way to become even more powerful than Tai," said TK, "So any word on Tai's condition."
"Like I said. He's doing a lot better and should be able to get back into action soon," Kari said, "But we need a little more time for him and Agumon to rest."
"So looks like we'll just have to wait and see when the artificials are going to make their next move," Dimitri said.
"Not so fast, Dimitri. We have a major problem that had just occurred in the Digital World," Izzy said.
"What do you mean?"
"Come inside and I'll show you."
"Ok."
***************************************************************************************
Xveemon, Stingmon and Halsemon were almost to Odaiba as they continued to fly through the blue skies. Davis looked up ahead and a smile came across his face. He turns towards Ken and Yolei with thumbs up.
"We should be there any minute now," Davis said.
"Right."
"You guys. I just got an email from Sora," Ken said.
"Well, what does it say?" asked Stingmon.
"Its concerning a new occurrence that had just taken place in the Digital World. It's pretty urgent. Digimon have claimed to see a mysterious pod just near the Primary Village. Sora also said to meet them over at Tai's apartment home. Any idea where that might be?"
"Yeah. I know where it is," Davis said, "I've been over to Kari's several times. Ok Xveemon, you know the place, right?"
"Kari's place? You got it! We'll be over there in a shake of a lambs… Ummm… Is that how it goes?"
"Uhhh. Just get us over there."
"Right!"
Xveemon boosted his speed as they headed off towards Odaiba. Stingmon and Halsemon soon followed. At this rate, they should be able to arrive at Odaiba in a short amount of time, but they had to get there as soon as possible.
**************************************************************************************
Izzy displayed the email message sent to him from Elecmon. Dimitri took a look at it and began reading it.
"That's very odd. Did Elecmon happen to get a picture of the pod," asked TK.
"Yes. I can get that printed out."
"Yeah. I need to get to the bottom of this," Dimitri said, "It may not be concerned with the artificials, but I'm dying to know what this thing is."
TK looked over towards Kari, who was still looking over Tai and Agumon. He smiled at the fact that Kari was looking over her older brother at a time like this. It reminded him of the time when Kari got sick during the past three years. And who was there to watch over her until she got better? It was one other than Tai of course.
"Now that's what I call a true sister and brother relationship. I just hope Matt and I can share some kind of strong bond. As long as Kari is happy, I'm happy."
Izzy watched as the photo of the pod was printed out. He took it out and handed it over to Dimitri.
"Here. Take a look and see what you think?"
Dimitri looked at the photo and examined the picture. What he saw as a large pod that looked to have been covered by some sort of moss. A logo was imprinted on the front of the pod and it read Odaiba Technological Research.
"Well, what do you see? What kind of pod is it?" asked Mimi.
"It says Odaiba Technological Research. But how is that possible? How could a pod from earth have arrived in the Digital World?! Theres no way anybody else would know the passageway to entering the Digital World. Only ourselves and anybody holding a digivice or D-3 is able to open the gate."
"Huh? It's pod from earth? But who could have sent it?" asked Michael.
"It could have come from the dark realm. You know how anybody from that dimension could have just opened a portal from there," Joe said.
"No. Azulongmon said that he made sure that all gateways from the dark realm were all sealed away," Izzy said, "So no. I doubt anybody would have the power to enter from the dark realm."
"Then how did it get there? Something is obviously wrong," Kari spoke up.
"I have a feeling what it maybe, it doesn't look good for our side. We may have to deal with this thing while the artificials run amuck in this world," Gatomon replied.
"She's right and its time we make a decision on what he do next," Dimitri said. "But I need to know what was sent in that pod. I need to know what other enemy we may have to eventually face other than the three artificials. Things are now getting way out of hand now."
This is an interesting twist of events indeed! The Digi-Destined are left to wonder where to take off from here? Go to the Digital World and investigate this mysterious pod or to stop the three artificials from completing their mission of executing Tai. Decisions. Decisions. C'mon guys, time is of an essence here!

[Preview]
Dimitri: Why would a pod arrive in the digital world unexpectedly?
TK: It looks like the same pod you came in about a year ago.
Kari: This is very strange.
Dimitri: Wait a second… This pod has been in the digital world for nearly three years! No make that four years!
Mimi: Four years?
Dimitri: yeah. So by the time Burizalor was defeated by Omega X and about a year before Ken became the Kaiser, this pod has been dormant in the digital world. I can't believe nobody even noticed this until now.
Davis: Why is there an eggshell and what the heck is that thing?!
Mimi: Ahh! That thing is disgusting!
Kari: It looks like some sort of giant insect...
Dimitri: Is this the creature that was sent through that pod? It came from nearly 20 years in the distant future. What purpose does this thing serve?!
Izzy: Next time on Digimon Fusion Zero Two, episode twenty-one!
The New Threat?! The Creature That Came 20 Years in the Distant Future!
Veemon: You don't want to miss this!
***************************************************************************************
Max: We hope you enjoyed that chapter, because it now leads to the new saga of the Zero Two series! It's going to be the Virus Saga! We'll have the first chapter within a day or so.
Keke: These two have been tearing at each other since the start of the fic! Both are busted and beaten! I've never seen… We'll I've seen plenty of ass kickings but this has to be on my top ten favorites.
Celesta: I just hope that they can somehow resolve their differences. They can't go on like this…
Coral: Sorry, Celesta. I'm afraid this guy won't ever forgive me. That's ok. I've wanted to kick his ass. He challenged me and now he gets it. Nobody ever underestimates me.
Zeomon: Look, you shouldn't have gone and used SSJ4T as you're training partner. He's no fighter.
Coral: Look, I'm sorry but I needed to get some exercise. I'm sorry for what I did, but I'm not sorry for you accusing me. This ends here!
Zeomon: Yes, it ends here. But it will be the end of you!
Coral: Like I've said before, just bring it!
[Coral and Zeomon charge toward each other. They trade massive blows and send thunderous vibrations across the landscape. Coral flies up and cries out. A bright aura forms around her body. Zeomon flies up and goes for a flying head butt. Coral maneuvers to the side and punches through Zeomon's helmet. Zeomon retaliates with a devastating kick to her ribs. Coral coughs blood and begins to become dazed. Zeomon takes advantage and grabs Coral. He then puts her over his shoulders and executes a devastating backbreaker. Coral screams in agony as her broken body plops to the ground. Coral struggles to move.]
Celesta: No! Coral!
Max: Shit! That's got to fucking hurt!
Keke: You might as well give this second match to Zeomon, Mick.
[Coral's eyes start to fade as Mick counts her out.]
Mick: Coral was unable to sit up after the ten count. Therefore, Zeomon wins this second match!
Max: So, it's down to a tie! We'll have our final match in the first chapter of the Virus Saga.
Keke: But it doesn't look like Coral is about to sit up anytime soon…
Celesta: Coral… Please get up… I can't stand this violence…
[Zeomon begins to walk away, but little does he realize that Coral's hidden strength is beginning to stir. Coral's eyes slowly turn emerald green and a slight gold aura starts glowing around her body.]
Celesta: That's it!
Max: We'll have the third and final match between Coral and Zeomon in the first chapter to the Virus Saga! Until then, be sure to check it out! Peace everyone!

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine. It belongs to Akira Toriyama. However, the characters Jax, Sonja and Burizalor are mine. Lady Myotismon, Iceladydevimon, Elfmon and Funkymon are characters made by Dark Warrior. I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X, Keke, and Max, because Max Acorn created them and I got his permission to use them.
Max: Hey, ya'll! We're down with the final match between Coral and Zeomon! They're both tied apiece. Mick Foley is our guest referee. It's you're call, Mick!
Mick: This match will determine the winner! I want to see some blood! Let's get it on!
[Coral sits up with her eyes glowing emerald green and her hair straightening up. Zeomon turns around and feels a great power arising.]
Keke: Aw, shit. You've gone and done it now, Zeomon. I really hope that ambulance is reserved for you instead.
Coral: I will not lose… Losing is not an option… It's not an option…
Zeomon: But you will lose. If you let anger blind you, you're skills are ultimately going to be uncoordinated. In other words, you'll be sloppy and make a mistake.
Coral: You're wrong… You're very wrong!
[Coral screams out and a bright explosion of energy cover her body. Her eyes are emerald green and her golden hair flows like that of a mythical goddess. Unlike a male super saiyan, she doesn't possess large muscles or a bulky body. However, it's her mere presence, which makes her stronger. Several tears come dropping from her eyes. These aren't tears of sadness and doubt, but of rage.]
Keke: Whoa! A super saiyan that's actually pretty! It didn't make her huge, but pretty!
Celesta: She's gorgeous. I wish I had hair like that. Zeomon is biting off more than he can chew.
Max: I wouldn't count him out yet.
Zeomon: Super saiyan, huh? I thought you'd buff up into some she-male, but I'm surprised. You look like some sort of…
Coral: Goddess? Thank you. I never thought what I'd actually look like as a super saiyan. I'm quite surprised myself… Now, enough talk. I've had it with your bullshit, Zeomon. Make you're first move…
Zeomon: Gladly!
[Zeomon holds his wrist out and instantly makes a device appear. Coral looks on with a bright aura surging throughout her body.]
Zeomon: Battlizer Laser!
[The blast immediately turns into a barrage of devastating shots that bounce off of Coral's golden aura. The super saiyan calmly waves her hand and sends the blasts back to Zeomon. Zeomon moves away to avoid his own shots.]
Max: Whoa! Zeomon just had to force Coral to unleash her full potential!
Celesta: I don't think Zeomon has anything that can save him now, but then again he's always a guy to pull through at the end.
Max: I don't think it's possible in this case. Coral's not going down. All right, while these two continue their little grudge, you guys enjoy the fic! It's the first chapter to the Virus Saga. You'll find out who the main villain for Zero Two will be by the next chapter. Enjoy the fic!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The New Threat?! The Creature That Came From Nearly 20 Years in the Distant Future!
December 17, 2004 -In the Late Afternoon-
The Digi-Destined had just endured a day of hell so to speak. Ever since fighting the first three artificials this morning, the children began to wonder if even the power of fusion would be able to defeat Datamon's biological threats. Perhaps their biggest downfall was Tai and Agumon falling victim to the D-Virus. However with the help of Dimitri's antidote, Tai was able to remain in good health at the moment.
But as soon as Metalla X took care of Elfmon and Datamon disposed of Ice Lady Devimon, things were looking good for the Digi-Destined. However, Dimitri returned to reveal to the Digi-Destined that the two of the three artificials he saw in his time were a lot different from the ones that appeared in the present time. This left the children to wonder where the real artificials were hiding. Those questions would be answered as Funkymon revealed himself to be Datamon and he unleashed the two deadly artificials, Jax and Sonja. The two rebellious artificials turned on Datamon and unleashed the third mystery artificial, which was revealed to be an evil cone of the mighty War Greymon. It was Black War Greymon and he may prove to be the most terrible of the three.
Metalla X challenged the power of the three artificials. However, he and the others were soon overpowered by the new threats. As soon as the artificials left to find Tai, Leomon left to see Azulongmon and Gennai concerning a power boost he could use in order to fight the artificials. Would this mean that the other digimon would receive the power of fusion, like Davis? Davis is desperate of fusing with Xveemon, but would that come true for the boy? The question still remains. Does even the power of fusion stand a chance against the unlimited power of the artificials?
If that weren't bad enough, then what was about to be foretold next would even be much worse. Izzy receives an email message from Elecmon, who was guarding Primary Village at the time. Elecmon claims to have seen some sort of mysterious pod in the forest. But what is most interesting of this situation is the fact that the pod looks to have been in the forest for quite sometime and it had the label of Odaiba Technological Research on it. How could a pod from earth have arrived in the Digital World without some sort of known digital gate being opened? What is going on here? This is quite a turn of events. In one dimension, the artificials are running amuck in their search for Tai. There maybe a possibility of a new threat that could destroy the Digital World if not stopped.
What will the Digi-Destined do? All of those questions will soon be answered…
Dimitri put the picture of the pod on a desk he was sitting on. He couldn't believe that something from earth's dimension has been found in the Digital World. But the question was: How did it get there? Only people with Digivices and D-3's only know how to open any kind of gateway from earth to the Digital World. Could the government have discovered the Digital World?
"I don't think it would be the government, but with their secret technology, who knows," TK said.
"I'm telling you this is getting very weird," Cody said, "What do you think could have arrived from that pod? This doesn't look good at all."
"Well all we got to do is investigate. It's that simple, Cody," Armadillomon replied.
"Yeah but its not that simple. We have to make a decision to stay here and watch out for the artificials or go out to the Digital World and investigate."
"Its pretty simple, Cody," Kari said, "We'll just split up into groups again. I say five of us go and investigate."
"Right. That's a good idea," Izzy said, "And one of us will stay here and watch over Tai. Then the others could keep an eye out for those artificials."
"Then I say I go," TK said, "Who else wants to join me?"
"I will go," Kari said.
"How about you, Dimitri?" asked Izzy.
"Yeah. I have to investigate this. This is really bothering me and I have to know what was in that pod."
"Then in that case, I'll go too," Mimi said.
"Great. Now all we need is one more person," TK said as he looked across the room, "Ok then it's just the four of us then."
"Not so fast, TF," cried out a voice.
The group turned to see Davis, Yolei and Ken at the front door. Davis was clenching his fists at the thought of Kari going with TK.
"If Kari goes, then I'm coming along," Davis said, "You thought you could just leave me behind."
"Well we didn't expect you to come back so early," TK replied, So are you ready?"
"Ready as I ever been. So all we have to do is investigate. You up for it, Veemon?"
"Well a little investigating would be fun but can we eat afterwards?"
"Sure, we'll even eat out. This time I'll beat you for sure."
"Keep dreaming Davis. I got a bottomless pit."
"I'm ready to go," Dimitri said, "Mother… Mimi, how about you?"
"Yeah. Lets go."
"If you're all ready then lets go," TK said as he held out his D-3.
A digital gate opened on the computer monitor and TK used his D-3's power to fully open it. A bright light flashed and engulfed the entire group heading out into the Digital World.
Soon afterwards, TK, Kari, Mimi, Davis and Dimitri found themselves spinning through a vortex and through a portal as they eventually found themselves in the Digital World. They were just many miles away from the location of Primary Village.
"Ah this place brings back good memories," TK said, "You remember this place, Patamon?"
"Yeah. This is where we first met Elecmon when he tried kicking my butt. But we sure showed him what we're really made of. Didn't we?"
"Yeah and now we're all good friends because of it."
"Oh guys. We have to find that pod. It was said to be many miles from the location of Primary and in the deep forest, or so says Elecmon," Dimitri said.
"You still got the picture?" asked Dimitri's Patamon.
"You bet I do. I wouldn't lose this, we need it to find the pod."
"By the way, what is your name?" TK asked Dimitri's Patamon.
"Well, so you won't get me confused with TK's Patamon, you can just call me Faith."
"Alright then, Faith. Good choice for a name."
"Dimitri came up with that."
Dimitri holds out the picture and shows it to everyone. They all examined it and nodded.
"So if you find it, holler out or send each other an email. Alright, lets all move out."
"Just one question."
"What is it this time, Davis?"
"What do we do if we happen to find the thing that was in the pod?"
"Yeah no telling if this thing is ugly and has bad odor," Veemon said, "I just hate bad odors. Yuck!"
"Well just fend him off as much as you can but I don't really know what we're up against here. So keep your eyes peeled everyone.
They all nodded in agreement as they all split into groups. TK, Patamon, Kari and Gatomon headed out towards the location of Primary Village. Dimitri, his Patamon, Mimi and Palmon headed off towards the forest, while Davis and Veemon looks around a nearby brush area.
"So I guess we're left along again this time buddy," Davis said, "Man. I never get to go with Kari on any of these missions. Why is that?"
"Maybe you just have to stop asking her all the time. If you just keep your mouth shut then maybe you'll get a chance to do a mission with Kari as your partner."
"Do a mission? Yeah I wish that could happen but it seems Kari is always chummy with TK. It just doesn't make sense."
"Well they've know each other a lot longer than you and Kari have."
"We'll see about that. If it's the last thing in the world, I see to it that Kari ends up being with me. It's just been too long already."
"Who knows maybe you'll find some other girl you might like."
"Yeah like Son…"
"Who?"
"Uhhhh… Sondra. Yeah Sondra. Heh. Heh. A girl I knew back in kindergarten."
"Hmmm. I wonder… Nah! It couldn't be."
"Well where to now, Veemon?"
Just then, Veemon looked towards the forest and growled angrily. He felt something negative within the air and started running towards the forest.
"Whoa! What is it, Veemon?"
"Davis! I sense something in this direction. It could be what we are looking for. We better let the others know about this."
"Right! I'll send an email to Dimitri."
Davis pulls out his D-Terminal and began typing in a message and sends it to Dimitri.
"Maybe its the pod that we are looking for."
***************************************************************************************
Dimitri looked at his D-Terminal and read the message sent to him by Davis. He looked over to Faith and nodded.
"It looks like Davis was the first to find it. Mimi, Davis found it!"
"Where is it? Where did he find it?"
"Well Veemon actually found it. He said that they are heading towards the west section of the forest, which isn't very far away from Primary Village."
"We better get there as soon as possible."
"Right! Faith lets go!"
Dimitri heads out with Mimi and the digimon following him out. Dimitri pulls out his D-Terminal and sends an email message to Kari and TK.
***************************************************************************************
TK received Dimitri's message and looked over to Kari. They nodded to each other and made their way through the forest and towards the west section.
"We're in luck, Kari. Looks like this wasn't such a difficult mission after all. But the question remains, what is in that pod and how did it get here?"
"We'll find it. Then we'll know for certain when, where and how it got here. But I just have a bad feeling of what was brought forth from that pod."
"If it's really that bad, then we better get to the bottom of this."
The two Digi-Destined walked through the forest with their digimon running along with them to catch up. As soon as they made it through the brushes in the forest, they found a large pod vehicle in the middle of the forest. Davis and Veemon were standing right beside it.
"Whoa! There it is! Look Davis and Veemon are there," TK said.
"Hey guys! It's about time you came! Take a look at this baby!"
TK and Kari stopped and gasped at what they saw. It looked like on of those capsule pods that the Odaiba Technological Research Facility uses to study the current gateways that have been opening on earth ever since the first digimon appeared in the human realm. But the question is, how did this one get into the Digital World without anybody realizing its presence until now?
"Hey its Dimitri and Mimi! You guys! We found it," Kari cried out.
Dimitri ran over towards the pod and looked up at its structure. He couldn't believe his very own eyes. Mimi also could not believe it.
"So is this from earth?" asked Mimi.
"Oh yeah. This is from earth all right. Odaiba is pretty obvious."
Dimitri placed his hand over the pod and brushed off some of the moss that covered it. He took a good look at the lettering that read Odaiba Technology Research. He began to wonder how somebody could have sent this pod to the Digital World.
"Hey, take a look at the top of the pod! It looks like something came right through it," TK said as he pointed up to the top of the pod.
"More like eat through. That glass top looks like it has been burnt through," Davis said.
Dimitri climbed up and made his way towards the top of the pod. He looked at the glass ceiling and noticed that some sort of acid ate it through. He looked down inside the pod and found a shell-like egg. He picked up the shell and noticed that was hatched.
"Hey guys. Take a look at this."
Dimitri tossed down the shells down to Kari and TK. They began to examine the specimens and were confused as to what could have hatched out of this egg.
"It looks like some sort of reptilian egg shell, but I've never seen anything like this," said TK.
"Right and this is no digimon egg that's for sure," Kari said.
"Yes. More like some sort of mutant or something," replied Gatomon.
"But who would send a mutant into the Digital World and why would Odaiba Technological Research even want to send such a thing," Mimi said, "I call that freaky."
Dimitri took a look at the pod and found that some of the controls were preset for a destination. He looked down at a small computer and it read December 29, 2027. Dimitri's eyes widened at what he saw, this pod had come twenty-three years from the distant future.
"You guys! It came here from twenty-three years from the future! Its also some sort of time machine sent here perhaps by the company itself."
"Huh? But why would they send it from the far future?" wondered TK.
"Wait. Hold on. And it arrived here…"
Dimitri looked at the computer and looked to see when it arrived in the Digital World. He looked at the date and gasped at what he saw. It read December 24, 2002. That was almost two years ago. That would technically now make it 25 years from the distant future.
"It came here in late 2002 of December! That's just about a year before I had my appearance in the Digital World and battled Burizalor. So, is this what could have changed everything that occurred during the past two years? I mean, is this thing responsible for the change of time?!"
"Ugh, so it's from the future and you weren't aware of this," asked Davis.
"No. I never expected whatever this thing maybe to come here before I arrived from my future period. This must have come from another time period."
"Well all of this time periods and futures are really confusing me. Besides I just hate numbers," Mimi said, "I mean how could you keep up with this stuff, Dimitri? I guess you got your father's wits."
Veemon and Palmon turned to see an oozy trail leading into the forest. They walked towards tthe trail, which caught the other's attention.
"Hey, what is it, Veemon?"
"Davis, there's a trail leading from that pod towards the forest."
"Mimi, we better follow this trail!"
"But Palmon, we don't know what it could be! We better stay here where it's safe!"
"No, she's right. We better get to the bottom of this," Dimitri said.
Veemon and Palmon ran towards the brushes and into the forest where they were following the trail using their sense of smell. Soon, the others were following them in order to catch up to them and prevent themselves from getting lost.
"So, what is it that you found?!" cried out TK.
Veemon and Palmon came to a complete stop and gasped at what they saw before them. The others stopped as well and what they saw was completely not normal. Mimi screamed out at what she saw, and it wasn't a scream of excitement but more of terrifying fear.
Right before them looked like a large, beetle-like creature that was about the size of a Monochromon. It didn't seem to notice the Digi-Destined as it just stood there.
"That thing is disgusting! What the hell is it?" asked Mimi.
"I don't know but I'm about to find out," Dimitri said.
Dimitri walked over towards the creature and took little steps so that it won't make the creature terrified and attack to defend itself.
"So is this what hatched out of that pod?!"
His question would soon be answered as he poked the creature and it seemed as though that it wasn't moving and it felt like old skin. In fact, it was dead skin that was shed.
"Its dead skin. It's all right guys! Its just old skin that was shed off."
The others all gathered around the dead skin and observed its texture. It seemed insect-like in a way, but was it also a reptile?
"You think it could be some sort of giant grasshopper?" asked Kari.
"I don't think so but whatever this thing is, its probably somewhere deep within this forest," Dimitri said.
He then placed his hand inside the shed skin and noticed purple ooze getting stuck on his hands. Its foul smell made him wrench as he wiped his hands off.
"Sick! Whatever this thing is, it had recently shed its skin and it's probably not too far from here. I suspect he could be somewhere within the forest."
"You mean that there's a big insect creature lurking around the Digital World. What kind of harm could it do?" asked Davis.
"You just had to ask, Davis," replied Mimi.
"So what can we do if we can't even find it," Patamon said.
"I say we get out of here before we get anymore updates on this situation," Kari said, "It's the best way to go at this moment. We haven't heard anything else about this creature."
"She's right. So I say we take these eggshells and let Izzy take a look at them. Besides, Leomon is in the Digital World to see Azulongmon, so he could fill us in on the situation," TK said.
"Good idea," replied Mimi, "Now lets get out of…"
As soon as she said that, there was a rustling noise within some bushes. The Digi-Destined all turned towards the bushes. The digimon got into fighting position and began raising their power levels, in order to prepare themselves for whatever is about to attack them.
"Alright guys! This is it! We take this thing on and we're not going to back down! Show him what you're made of Veemon!" Davis cried out.
"Right!"
Mimi was shaking with fear as she hid behind Dimitri. The young boy nodded towards Faith and Palmon to watch their backs.
"Tell me when its over," Mimi muttered.
But soon as the digimon were about to evolve and attack, two Botamon babies appeared from out of the bushes. The Digi-Destined all sighed a relief at what they saw. For a minute, they thought it was the creature about to attack them.
"Well that was a close one. Just two little Botamon," TK said.
"They're so cute," replied Kari as she picked one up.
"Well now that we've got that little problem out of the way. I say we better be heading back into the Digital World," replied Dimitri.
They all nodded in agreement as Dimitri found a little television where it would lead them back into earth. He pulls out his D-3 and points it towards the television.
"What about the pod?" Mimi asked.
"I say we leave it. Its not a threat anymore, since we now know what came out of it," Dimitri said, "But we better keep an eye out and read any emails sent in from the Digital World."
"Ok. Good plan."
"Alright guys. Are you ready? Digital Port open!"
"If there's anybody who's going to take this thing down, it's going to be me! I'll see to it that Veemon and I fuse! We will fuse!"
The Digi-Destined watched as the gateway opened and a bright flash of light engulfed them. Soon, they found themselves going through a vortex out of the Digital World and into a portal leading back to the earth world.
***************************************************************************************
Izzy watched as several emails were coming in from several digimon. He began to open each email and they were all just about the same, they were all telling of the same mysterious pod story.
"Well the others should be here anytime now."
"Izzy! You better take a look on the news on TV," Sora said.
"What is it?"
Izzy turned up the volume and began to listen to the news reporter about to read an urgent situation that was taking place in Shinjuku.
"This just in! There is a crisis-taking place in Shinjuku as we speak! Several soldiers have arrived to fend off what witnesses claim to be some sort of creature. But nobody knows where it came from and what its purpose is. We urge you to remain indoors and everybody must evacuate Shinjuku immediately!"
"This is bad you guys. What are we going to do," asked Joe.
"And it couldn't be the artificials, or could it?" Cody pondered.
"I doubt it," Izzy said, "But whatever it is, it has arrived and its about to cause a path of destruction if we don't stop it. It maybe that thing that came out of the pod in the Digital World."
"Huh? That thing? You're not making a whole lot of sense! What could have come out of that pod and make is way through into the real world," asked Sora.
"I wish I knew…"
Wow, this is really a turn of events! What the Digi-Destined found was some sort of creature that arrived from the pod and it came from twenty-five years in the distant future! And it arrived in the Digital World just well over two years ago, just one year before Dimitri's appearance. And now it is believed that this creature could have arrived in the real world. What will the Digi-Destined do about this new predicament?!

[Preview]
Leomon: Azulongmon! So there's a monster on earth! It's been dormant in the digital world for the past two years?
Azulongmon: yes and I believe it is much deadlier than the artificials. We must act now! Leomon! I give you the ability to digivolve into a second alternate mega level!
Leomon: What? I have a second alternate mega level?
Gennai: Leomon. You are now Cyberleomon. With some of Azulongmon's power added to yours, you should be able to confront this monster and defeat it.
[Mysterious footsteps are heard in Shinjuku's deserted streets.]
Leomon: So you're the monster…
Monster: Yes.
Leomon: Why am I sensing the ki of Omega X, Burizalor, Metalla X and myself from you?! It doesn't make sense!
Monster: There's much more behind my secret than you'll ever know… I can even perform the Terra Beam…
Davis: Next time on Digimon Fusion Zero Two, episode twenty-two!
Cyberleomon Steps Up! The Enigmatic Monster With Omega X's Ki!
Dimitri: You don't want to miss this!
***************************************************************************************
Max: The new villain will make his appearance for the next chapter. Sorry for the cliffhanger there. You should get the next chapter by Thursday night.
Keke: In the meantime, Coral and Zeomon are prepared to finish their duel!
[Zeomon and Coral are again fighting evenly. Zeomon uses his Mach Speed II to match up with Coral. Punches are thrown and they connect. Zeomon connects with his Zeo Power Kick, which knocks Coral back. Coral plummets to the ground.]
Zeomon: That enough for ya?
[Coral sits up from the crater and it doesn't seem that she's in any form of pain. She dusts herself off and smirks.]
Zeomon: I've got one final technique that will guarantee me victory.
Coral: So, do I…
Max: What could this mean? Shit, I want to find out!
Celesta:*sigh* These are so hard-headed. Looks like I'll be doing some healing for the next few days.
Keke: There's some sort of fire dragon over Zeomon!
[Zeomon twirls his arms around in a complex pattern. A large fire dragon appears super-imposed over Zeomon. Coral cups her hands together and forms a blue ball of ki energy.]
"Ka-Me-"
"Fire-"
"Ha-Me-"
"BLAZE!"
"HA!"
[The two warriors shoot out their powerful techniques and push their power back towards one another. They are testing to whose attack will last longer. It seems the fire is overtaking the ki.]
Max: They are both willing to take this final match! We're not leaving this without a winner! Who will come out on top?! Shit! We're going to have a fucking winner!
Celesta: Wait! Coral is gaining a second wind! If I know her any better, she always manages to pull through in these situations.
Keke: Look!
[Coral's emerald eyes fade and her eyes are completely pale as a ghost. She seemed to be possessed by an unknown force as she pushes back on her wave attack. Zeomon is shocked over this and gasps when his fire dragon became engulfed by the Kamehameha wave. Coral screams out, as a divine presence possesses her and allows her to summon her full power. Zeomon is engulfed by the blast and shot back.]
Max: What the hell was that?! I just sensed another presence within Coral!
Celesta: This is not the first time. I've seen this happen before! It has something to do with that sword she carries. It's called the Dragon Saber. Legends tell that whoever lifts that sword would be given the powers of the divine being herself, the Dragon Goddess.
Keke: So, Coral is possessed by this being?! Whoever possessed her really forced her to bring out her full power.
Celesta: Yes…
[Coral pants as she falls to her knees. Her eyes return to normal, as does her form. The super saiyan powers fade away and she is reduced to satisfaction. Celesta rushes over to her.]
Celesta: Are you okay?
Coral: The presence did it again… I really didn't want it to happen again… Looks like I've won…
[Zeomon slowly sits up and looks over towards Coral. His body is battered, but he managed to survive.]
Coral: Zeomon. I hope you realize to never underestimate me.
Zeomon: So, you have a goddess watching over you. Tell me, how do you control it?
Coral: I do possess this sword… Legends say whoever pulls it out would be granted the power and guidance of the divine Dragon Goddess… She's watcher of the Dragonball Universe.
Zeomon: How come I or anybody else has heard about her?
Coral: Heh, only SSJ4T knows… He created her…
Zeomon: Too bad he's not here… You've won this time, Coral… That doesn't mean that I'm going to give up. We're even…
Coral: Hey, there was no way I was going to lose to you again after our one on one from that party.
Max: Whoa, hold on… SSJ4T created a divine being? I wasn't told about this…
Coral: Of course he did… Let me put it this way, Zeomon. The Dragon Goddess is God of the DB Universe, as far as SSJ4T is concerned… You sure don't want to screw with God…
Zeomon: I see… Next time, you and me will fight again… The result will be different…
Coral: I'm more than happy to… Just name the time and the place…
Celesta: But first, let me heal you two…
[Celesta proceeds to use her advanced healing ki to restore both warriors to their full health.]
Max: Ahh, that sure beats going to the hospital… So, name our winner, Mick…
Mick: Oh right! You're winner is Coral!
Keke: Well that was something… I can't wait for these two to lock up again…
Max: I can't believe Coral has a guardian angel watching over her and it turns out to be a goddess. This is a small world. Well, we hope you enjoyed that match! Until then, be sure to check out the next chapter of Zero Two! The monster will make his first appearance! Peace, everyone!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Cyberleomon Steps Up! The Enigmatic Monster With Omega X's Ki!
Dimitri, TK, Kari, Mimi and Davis were still traveling through the vortex as they exited out of the Digital World and were about to reenter the real world. TK looked over to Dimitri as he was about to ask him a question.
"Hey, Dimitri. You know what. That creature's skin has got to be the sickest thing that I have ever seen! Man it grossed me out!"
"Yeah I know what you mean. It was quite disgusting."
"So you think that this thing might have come from out of the future time through that pod. I mean doesn't it just sound weird that it just arrived here from the future and that nobody was able to detect its arrival until now."
"Yeah. It came here undetected and the Holy Beasts weren't even aware of the pod's arrival."
"So what do you think it could possibly be?"
"I don't know for sure but I know for a fact that this creature could cause a lot of damage if we are not careful."
"Another question. So you weren't even aware of this creature in your time period?" asked Kari.
"No. I never had seen anything like this before. No such creature like that ever existed in my time."
"You said that thing could have altered the shifting of time recently. I mean everything went out of order so to speak," Davis said, "Man, it must suck to travel through dimensions sometimes."
"Oh yeah. It does suck. Trust me, you got to know what you're doing."
"Dimitri, I'll be ready for whatever that thing maybe. I won't let you down," Faith said.
"Thanks buddy."
"Dimitri, tell me, do I change at all as far as my appearances go?" asked Mimi.
"Well you don't change much."
"Huh? You mean I get to keep my girlish looks for another ten years? Wow! How cool! I never want to grow old. But do I at least change as far as my personality goes?"
"Oh yeah. You really aren't into the color pink by then and you won't rely so much on fashions."
"Oh well, that stinks. But at least I get to know that you're my future son."
Mimi giggled at the thought of eventually becoming a mother and wife, but never expected to marry Matt. This was such an unexpected twist that will soon occur in Mimi's life. Mimi looked over to Dimitri, who was seemingly blushing.
"We're almost to the gateway! Hang on tight everybody!" TK cried out.
The Digi-Destined looked up ahead as the gateway opened up and they were quickly sucked into the vortex that would eventually lead them back into the real world.
They found themselves all piled up and all over on top of Izzy. The boy tried to move around and wave his hand around. They all looked down and laughed at Izzy being trapped under all of the weight.
"Ack… Let me breathe…"
They all got off of Izzy and let the boy catch his breath and regain his composure. Izzy looked over towards the group with a frown.
"Next time, you fall on top of me, warn me next time."
"Ha. Right. We'll give you the cue," Kari remarked.
"So what did you find?" asked Cody.
"Well, we sure found a lot. That pod that we found was from another future time period, about twenty-three years in the distant future," Dimitri said.
"What?! Twenty-three years?! Then it arrived there through some sort of time vortex much like you, Dimitri," Izzy said.
"Yes and this is what we found in the pod. They look like egg shells of some sort of animal," Dimitri said as he handed the eggshells to Izzy.
Izzy took the eggshells and examined them. These eggshells were very sure to have been some sort of reptilian creature and it certainly was no digimon.
"These look like eggs of some sort of reptile."
"But what we found didn't even look reptilian," replied TK, "More like an insect creature when we found its dead skin. It was a large creature about the size of a Monochromon."
"Wow! That big?! I don't know what to tell you but we've been watching the news and there have been reports of some sort of strange creature attacking the city of Shinjuku," Cody said, "Come on! Its on the news right now."
The group all gathered around the television as they watched a reporter arrive on the scene of Shinjuku.
"This is Tomoe Hachikaya of the Odaiba local news. I am here at the site of the Shinjuku Bridge where local police are engaging in a gunfire war against what people claim is an insect creature of some sort. And it is still raging on! You can the gunshots and the screaming!"
People are shown screaming and running away from site. Several police officers come into view as they began firing at what they think is the creature. However, the monster couldn't be caught on camera.
"Oh man! This is not looking good! It's got to be the artificials," Palmon said.
"I doubt it. The artificials are only looking for Tai at the moment. I believe it's that creature from the pod," Mimi said, "And Dimitri and everyone that saw the pod will agree with me.
TK, Kari and Dimitri all nodded in agreement.
"Its more and likely that they are in combat against that creature and even with gunfire, they won't be able to stop it," Dimitri said.
The group continued to watch on as they waited for more updates on the monster crisis in Shinjuku to come about.
**************************************************************************************
Azulongmon hovered as he watched the war rage on in Shinjuku through one of his observation orbs that floated all around him. Gennai was watching as well. They were starting to worry over what they were seeing. Leomon took notice of this and began to question them.
"Come on! What's the hold up?! I thought I was here to receive new powers from the digital cores. But this has been nothing more than a waste of time just looking at you two all day. So, what's going on Earth? Are the artificials starting their attack?"
"No! This is terrible! Much worse than I expected," Azulongmon said.
"What? What's going on? Its the artificials isn't it?" asked Leomon.
Azulongmon nodded his head, which caught Leomon by surprise.
"You mean its not the artificials?! What else could even pose a threat at this moment of time?"
"Leomon. Azulongmon, myself and the other guardians have been observing the Digital World for quite sometime now and what we found was something out of the ordinary. It's something that isn't part of the Digital World. We're not even sure what it is."
"Gennai? You mean, this is not an artificial or some sort of digimon? Because I have to know, so I can receive the power from the digital core to fight whatever is down there."
"We will need a little more time before we make our next move. I'm sorry but let us see what happens from here."
"And let all of those innocent people to die?! I won't have any of that! We must get through with this power increase now! We're running out of time!"
"Enough, Leomon!" thundered Azulongmon, "We're not even sure what we're up against. But this creature has been in the Digital World for two years. Its power has slowly been growing and now it has found a way through the Digital World and into the real world by some sort of gateway. I thought for sure that nobody was able to enter the Digital World without the use of a Digivice or D-3. But we were wrong. Whatever this creature is, it has proven to be even more powerful, cunning and more lethal than the three artificials."
"You must be kidding me?! You mean this thing has more power than any of the artificials? Is there any connection between the artificials and this mysterious creature?!"
"We don't know for sure but we will by our time and see what happens from here. Then we shall make the appropriate move," Azulongmon said, "Then afterwards, we will know for sure how powerful this creature actually is. Just be patient, Leomon. We shall avenge the losses of the innocence."
Leomon stood there as he growled to himself. He was upset with the fact that he had to remain and wait for Azulongmon. He disagreed with his decision but chose to stand by the great guardian's decision in order to stay on his good side. Leomon wanted to make sure that he would receive the power boost that he needs from the cores in order to make himself a stronger warrior. That way he could whatever this creature was and at the same time, challenge the power of the three artificials.
"I just hope you know what you're doing, guardian. Because I still think this is a bad call on your part."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, there was a group of people running out of a nearby department store on the streets of Tokyo. They were running from what seemed to be a major nuisance. But it wasn't the creature, since it was invading the city of Shinjuku. What was invading Tokyo at a time like this? Ah, but of course, it's the artificials.
Jax stepped into view from a cloud of smoke. He looked over at the crowd of people as they began to back away. A smile came across his face, which sent the frightened crowd running scared for their lives.
Sonja stepped out of the cloud of smoke and brushed her hair aside. In her hand was a bag of clothes that she picked out from the department store. Several store clerks were angered over the fact that she stole the clothes without even paying for them. But they steered clear away from her since she had Black War Greymon at her side.
The towering black giant looked across the streets and saw more groups of people running away. He began to question their fear and wondered why they were afraid of them.
"Well there goes the stampede!" Jax said, "So looks like we're done shopping. I tell you, this has been nothing than a complete waste of time. I can't believe I had to go in there with you just for you to try on new clothes."
"Hey. I have a women's taste of fashion. It's not my fault I was made to be a woman! So live with it!"
"Geez, you got yourself a syndrome of PMS."
"Proud of it. Now lets get out of here. I say we look for somewhere private so I can try on these clothes that I picked out."
"Right and after that we really have to resume our mission. So are you ready to go, Black War Greymon?"
"Yes."
"Then lets go."
The three artificials flew up into the air. Large groups of cops and swat team appeared as they fired away at the flying artificials. But their weapons were proving to be ineffective against them. Black War Greymon looked across and saw a police helicopter flying towards him.
"Halt! This is the police! You three get down and surrender immediately! Or we will open fire!"
"Open fire huh? Well pigs, I got your little open fire here," Black War Greymon said as a large energy ball formed in the palm of his claws.
"I repeat! We will open fire if you don't surrender immediately!"
"Surrender this! Terra Destroyer!"
Black War Greymon hurled a large red energy ball and sent it flying towards the helicopter. The energy ball blasted away the helicopter and the artificials could only look on as fiery remains fell to the ground. The police scattered away to avoid the falling debris.
"Nicely done. Black War Greymon, that must be your target practice until you find Taichi, right?" asked Jax.
"You could say that. But I will do more than just blast Taichi when I first lay my eyes on him."
"Ooo sounds pretty cruel to me," Sonja says, "I wonder what you will do to him and Agumon."
"Well, we better be going. I can't stand the sight of seeing stupid cops making complete asses out of themselves."
"Right, lets go Black War Greymon," Sonja said.
Black War Greymon followed up with his two comrades as they all set off to find a private location to plan out their next move in their search for Tai and Agumon.
****************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined all gathered around the television as they waited for more updates on the Shinjuku monster crisis. Dimitri was the one who watched with pure intensity. He was dying to know what the creature looks like and what his purpose is during a time where artificials are out looking for Tai.
"Man, he looks intense!" Yolei said.
"I don't blame him. He's totally focused on this situation and I'm sure he would want to be left alone at this moment," Ken said, "But I wonder what kind of a creature we could be up against."
"We know for certain that it's no digimon," replied Sora.
"Definitely not. The egg shell looks to be fully organic," Izzy said, "So its no digital creature either."
"I just hope Tai feels better soon. We're almost like lost sheep without him at this moment," Kari said as she kneeled beside her sleeping brother.
Tai laid with his eyes closed and was already asleep. Agumon was resting as well while recovering from the deadly D-Virus that was slowly being destroyed by the antidote given to him.
Suddenly, the news reporter came back on the air, which caught the Digi-Destined's attention. They were now focused back on the TV in order to get the major scoop on the crisis.
"Alright, we are back here in Shinjuku. Thus far, the local police aren't faring well and are falling victim to the creature. This creature seems to be eating them through some sort of tube. This city has now almost become a complete ghost town. There's nothing anybody can do… Wait. I see military troops coming in! They've begun firing at the creature."
"No! Those fools! Don't they realize that their weapons are ineffective against it," Dimitri said with deep anger.
"Well that's the military for ya. They will always use firepower as long as they carry guns," Yolei remarked.
"I wouldn't want to be the military at this moment," said Hawkmon.
"TK, when can he get into action?" asked Patamon.
"Not just yet. We have to know what we're up against first. Then we will make our next move."
"The troops are continuing to fire at the monster. But what the hell?! The creature has just attacked some of the troops. He's eating them! It's horrible! Not even our greatest military stands a chance against this creature! It's terrible! What can we do?!"
"No! We have to get there as soon as possible, before anymore innocent people to get killed," Cody said.
"No. It's too late now. Even if we get there, we won't be able to save them. They'll be all gone," Dimitri said.
"No… I just hate standing around here and doing nothing," Davis said, "Veemon! We have to find a way to merge with one another and then we'll show that thing what we're truly made of!"
"And give him a good kick in the pants!"
"Well I wish it were that easy," Davis said.
"Now it seems as though everything has been silent! I hear no gun fires or screaming or… Ahhh! What the hell! No…"
As soon as the reporter cried out, their camera went out and everything went fizzle on the television screen. The line was cut off and this left the Digi-Destined to ponder. But then the camera scene came back on and the reporter as all but gone. Nothing was left. There wasn't even a single person screaming but there were several gun were being heard in the background. But then soon, all of that stopped and everything went silent.
"I think… I think its over," Joe said.
"Its over alright!" Dimitri replied.
"This is terrible. So what are we supposed to do now?" asked Michael, "I mean we have no idea what we're up against."
"Maybe not now but we will now for sure," said Izzy.
"You guys. This is an enemy that we have never battled before and I'm sure everyone of you are still shocked over the turn of events but we still have to remain strong, not only for Tai but for ourselves as well. Tai would want us to go out there and give it out best," TK said, "So are you all with me?"
The all nodded in agreement. TK looks over to Dimitri, who stood up.
"TK…"
"Yeah?"
"If there's anybody who should go out there, it should be me."
The group looked towards him with shocked expressions on their faces. They couldn't believe that Dimitri was crazy enough to go out to Shinjuku to risk his own life to save others, but this proved that Dimitri was not going to back down from a fight, it doesn't matter what kind of a challenge is put forth in front of him. He wanted to prove to them that he could also fend for himself.
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon was shaking with anger at what he just saw. He had just witnessed the city full of people being completely wiped out by one single force. He couldn't bear to watch anymore of the senseless torture being inflicted on the innocence.
Leomon was getting quite impatient as he clenched his fists and turned to face Azulongmon. A burning desire was flaming inside the strong-hearted warrior. Azulongmon sensed his feelings and turned to face him.
"Tell me what's going on, Azulongmon? Now! Tell me!"
"The creature has completely wiped out a city full of innocent people. He has somehow absorbed them all in a short period of time. This creature has now proven to be a very big threat to the real world."
"So why don't we just get the energy boost over with, so I can go out there and confront the creature before it claims anymore innocent souls!"
"Because it would be pointless to tell you at this very moment."
"Pointless?! Why?"
Even Gennai was caught by surprise at what Azulongmon had just said. How could telling Leomon be pointless at a time like this? Azulongmon knew that the fate of humankind was becoming more and more drastic as the hours pass by, so why doesn't he tell Leomon about the creature.
"Because through the orbs, you will also receive some of my own power. You will also gain my knowledge and you will know for certain of the turn of events that has taken place during the past four years concerning the creature."
"Azulongmon, are you sure you want to go through with this?" asked Gennai.
"Ha. I knew you would go through with it," Leomon said, "So, what are we waiting for? Lets get this over with."
"Leomon, raise your hand up and concentrate on the energy I am about to give to you. Think of it as a gift for everything that you done in helping to preserve the Digital World."
"Yes."
"Leomon, with your pure heart and the soul of a warrior, you have proven to be quite an asset to us guardians and you have helped the Digi-Destined through the times of need. Now, I will see to it that you have the power to bring this creature down."
"Azulongmon. Thank you," Leomon said.
Gennai watched as on a digital core began to circle Leomon with energy beams of holy light. Soon, the other three guardians looked on as Leomon was engulfed in a bright glow of light.
"He's actually giving him the power," Zhuquiaomon said, "Incredible strength. Maybe Leomon does have a chance against the creature."
"Leomon has prove himself worthy and for that we bless him," Baihumon said.
"Do this for us, Leomon," replied Xuanwamon, "You will win for our side."
"Leomon! Behold the power of the guardians! You are now able to warp digivolve into your second mega form! Arise Cyberleomon!"
Leomon let out a loud thunderous roar as his body was covered a white aura of light. Then his body began to change as he was set to evolve.
"Leomon warp shinka!"
Leomon evolved past Grappleomon form and the Saberleomon mega level. Then he saw himself standing upright with silver skin and a golden aura of light emulating over his body. His sword has done become a long blade and his eyes were glowing a golden color.
"Cyberleomon!"
"Azulongmon?! Is that Leomon's second mega form?"
[Cyberleomon. Mega-Level. Leomon's second alternate mega form. Special Techniques: Justice Fist and Pure Aura of Truth.]
"As a matter of fact, its his alternate form. This is Cyberleomon. His body is made out of complete chrome digizoid steel and his attacks include Justice Fist and the Pure Aura of Truth. He should stand a chance against the creature now."
"Wow, Cyberleomon."
The newly evolved Cyberleomon stood on his two feet and he observed his new body. A smile came across his face. He felt a lot stronger than before and felt like a new and improved warrior. He examined his blade and threw it aside.
"Cyberleomon. Do you think you stand a chance?" asked Gennai.
"Thats for you all to know. Now it is time that I must take my leave and confront this monster of evil. I will not let you down," Cyberleomon said with a much deeper voice than his previous one.
The guardians looked over as Cyberleomon walked over towards a gateway that was opened up for him. This gateway would lead him into the real world. He turns to face the guardians and smiles.
"Thank you for everything, Holy Beasts. Now, I must go."
Cyberleomon flew right through the portal and found himself flying through a vortex that would eventually lead him into the real world. As he flew right through space and time, he looked across and could see faces of the many fellow warriors that aided him in the past and that have all sacrificed their lives in protecting the Digital World.
"My friends. I shall avenge you all. I shall avenge all of the innocence destroyed at the hands of this dark evil force. Demon of darkness, I shall defeat you with only by my bare hands. I am Cyberleomon and you're worst nightmare is about to come."
Cyberleomon punched a hole right through the vortex and found himself flying right through a gateway. He flew right through the gateway and soon found himself in the blue skies just above the landscape of the real world. He headed towards the city of Shinjuku through his own instinct and using the knowledge that Azulongmon given to him through the power of the digital cores.
Looking on from the distance, X appeared and waved to the heroic warrior.
"Good luck, Leomon. May you're new powers guide you."
***************************************************************************************
Dimitri sits up and walks across the room. TK went to stop him but Dimitri would have none of it.
"Dimitri, are you crazy? If you go out there alone, there's a good chance that you will get killed," TK said.
"TK. I have to do this. It's a risk I have to take. The artificials may prove to be a threat but this creature could even be a worldwide crisis if I don't act now."
"Dimitri, you're relying too much on yourself. You got us, your friends," Kari said, "Listen to TK, please. We don't want to lose you."
Dimitri looked over towards the group and sighed. He had to make a decision. Was it to leave his friends or go confront the creature himself in Shinjuku? It was really up to him but would the others agree with the decision that he makes?
"Look. I would like to help you," Davis said, "I want a crack shot at this thing! C'mon lets do this together."
"Right! We'll cover for ya!" remarked Veemon.
Dimitri nodded and walked over towards the front door.
"Sorry guys. But I have to do this alone. Please, try to understand and respect my decision."
Mimi looked over to Dimitri and nodded to him.
"Go for it. I believe in you."
"Thanks, Mimi. I won't let you all down."
"Alright then. But listen, scout the area but if anything gets out of control, you hightail it out of there," Sora said.
"Hey. I'll be fine. Don't worry. Lets go Faith!"
"Right behind you, Dimitri!"
"Time to digivolve! You up for it?"
"Mmmhmmm!"
"Lets kick some tail!"
Dimitri held out his D-3 and watched as light began to engulf Faith's body. Faith was now ready to evolve into his champion-level form. He became larger and human-like through the transformation.
[Digimon "Evolution" theme plays]
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Time for a little ultimate action!"
As soon as he said that, Dimitri's chest began to glow and the symbol of hope gave Faith the power to evolve into his ultimate leveled form.
"Angemon shinka! Magna Angemon!"
Dimitri hopped onto Faith's back as they flew off out of the apartment complex and made their way on their journey towards Shinjuku, which was on the other side of Odaiba, many miles away. But at this rate, they should be getting there in a matter of minutes.
Mimi looked out the window. She sighs under her breathe. All she can think of is the safety of her son.
"Come back safe and sound, Dimitri."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the city of Shinjuku, everything looked like a complete ghost town. There wasn't a complete noise being made at the moment. Just complete silence and it was quite frightening at a situation such as this.
Cyberleomon hovered down and looked across the city. He couldn't believe that a large population of people was wiped out in just under a few minutes by one single creature. This was a lot worse than Leomon first thought but that didn't stop him from investigating the area.
"How could such a creature have completely wiped out an entire population of people in just a matter of minutes? This is just impossible!"
Cyberleomon walked across the streets and past a dark alleyway. He looked down at several firearms that were previously used by the military. It seems as though they were all sucked out of existence or even worse, eaten by the creature. Cyberleomon continued his walk across the silent streets in search of the beast.
As soon as he walked past the dark alleyway, there was a strange low hissing noise and some footsteps. A dark shadow walked through the alleyways while dragging something along the way.
Cyberleomon easily heard the low hissing as he turned around to see what it was. To his surprise, there wasn't anybody behind him. He continued to walk along the streets and continue on his search.
Wind was blowing along the streets and it made the ghost town a little creepier without any known activity. A dark shadow was walking by and made sure he wasn't seen.
Cyberleomon stopped as he looked up ahead and saw nothing but total devastation left by gunfire. There weren't even bodies left lying on the ground.
Just then, a foot stepped onto a small branch and this catches Cyberleomon by surprise. He turns around and sees a creature along up alongside the street. A smirk formed across the face of Cyberleomon as he came face to face with the creature himself. The creature looked straight back at Cyberleomon with soulless and predator-like eyes. They looked very reptilian.
"At last. You managed to show yourself, creature. What is it that you want from this world?"
The creature just stood there looking straight at Cyberleomon with his reptilian eyes. His body was completely green with black armor plates on parts of his body. His tail was scorpion-like and his skin looked very reptilian. However, his face was almost insect-like with his face looking more like a grasshopper with crest-like formation on the top of his head.
The creature stood erect on his two feet and chuckled. The chuckle was rather evil and demonic. It was a chuckle that would easily send chills down the spine of any normal person. But Cyberleomon stood his ground as he was prepared to face against this monster of evil.
"So you're the culprit, am I right?"
The creature just stood there and looked deeply into the eyes of Cyberleomon. This was the same one who wiped out the entire population of Shinjuku. The creature was holding a teenage boy in his grasp.
Suddenly, Cyberleomon gasped in shock as he began to read the monster's ki-level. Cyberleomon could recognize it somehow and it sent chills down his spine. The monster just stood there not making a move and realized that Cyberleomon was a showing a little fear at the moment.
"What the… No! It can't be! His ki-level his power… I… I recognize it from somewhere before… But it couldn't be…"
The teenager began to revive himself as he looked up at Cyberleomon and struggled under the creature's tight grasp.
"Hey! You! You got to help me, dude. C'mon… Please…"
Cyberleomon could only look on with total fear and shock in his eyes. He could recognize the monster's ki-level and energy but he couldn't remember. Who could the monster have a power level that was so recognizable? Leomon hasn't even seen this creature before and already he's almost sweating bullets.
"But how? Who is this guy?! Is he really the one responsible for the deaths of nearly 15,000 people in Shinjuku?!"
**************************************************************************************
Azulongmon and Gennai watched the confrontation between the two through an observation orb. They were beginning to wonder if Cyberleomon had enough power to defeat this creature. They were getting a little nervous but they kept their fears to themselves in order to concentrate on the fight.
"Lets just hope Leomon knows how to control the new powers," Gennai said.
"He will. Trust me. If there's anybody who has respect of the powers of the guardians, it's going to be Leomon. He has this one in the bag."
"I just hope your right about that one."
"He's relying too much on Leomon but then again, Leomon has always been loyal to us,"Zhuiqaomon said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon and the creature both stood their ground. They both faced each other off in a sort of stare down. The teenage boy was struggling from the monster's grasp. Cyberleomon looked down at the boy and towards the monster.
"Please! You got to help me! This creep just grabbed me out of nowhere and he swallowed up my brother… Dude… Please help me!"
Cyberleomon got into a fighting stance and eyes the evil monster. The boy tried to catch his attention by calling him out.
"Mr. lion dude, please… Save me… Please don't let him kill me…"
"It would be wise for you to let him go, monster. Its time to pick on somebody your own size."
The creature smiled an evil grin as he released the grip on the teenage boy and continued to stare down Cyberleomon. Cyberleomon looked down at the boy and reached down to him by extending his hand.
"Please grab a hold of my hand I'll led you to safety."
"Thank you… Oh you saved my life dude… I'm still alive… Oh man… Thank you…"
Just as he said that, the creature uncoiled his tail and lashed it out. Cyberleomon froze in shock as he saw the spiked tail strike the boy right in the back. The boy let out a horrifying scream as blood came spewing out of his back. Cyberleomon looked up at the creature and gasped. The creature looked down as his reptilian eyes were locked onto his struggling meal.
Suddenly, Cyberleomon heard some loud sucking noises and watched as the creature's tail began to suck away at the boy. He let out more horrifying screams as his body was being sucked in through the monster's tail. Cyberleomon could only look on with a state of shock on his face. He tried to help the boy but it was now too late. The boy was nothing more than a main course meal for the monster as the remains of his skins was being sucked away through the monster's tail as if it were a mouth sucking at a straw.
In a matter of seconds, nothing was left of the boy. Not even his clothes. Cyberleomon could only look on with total shock on his face as he looked up to face the creature. The monster began to speak in an insect-like hissing noise.
"That was quite a meal and you had the chance to save him. That's too bad. But that was just the appetizer. You're going to be the main course, Leomon."
"Huh?! What did you say?! How do you know my name?!"
But instead of answering him, the creature stood his ground as he began powering up with tremendous energy. The ground started to shake as soon as he began to power up. The monster let out a terrifying scream as shock waves began to push Cyberleomon away. The ground was quickly shaking and cracks were starting to form in the ground.
"What the hell is happening?! His energy is enormous!"
The creature powered up even more and released a wave of energy. Cyberleomon watched as the wave of energy pushed him back. A large explosion took place, as the surrounding area soon became a little wasteland. The force of the explosion was so tremendous that the center of the city was now left with fallen debris and destroyed pavement. Buildings around the area were now destroyed as result.
***************************************************************************************
Back at Odaiba, Patamon flew up and felt a tremendous force from the explosion. TK took notice of this and looked outside.
"What's going on, Patamon?"
"I felt a tremendous explosion in Shinjuku. It was huge!"
Gatomon's ears perked up and Kari questioned her.
"Gatomon?"
"I felt a powerful ki release a large quantity of energy! Its from Shinjuku!"
"Oh no! I hope Dimitri wasn't there or he could have been blasted away! TK, something has just happened in Shinjuku!"
"Yeah, Patamon told me. I have a feeling that it maybe that monster. It's attacking but who's with him at this moment?"
**************************************************************************************
Back in Shinjuku, the smoke began to clear away and parts of Shinjuku were left as a total wasteland with fallen building debris and destroyed pavements.
The creature and Cyberleomon looked around at their surroundings, which was a totally devastated landscape. The creature began to chuckle evilly at the sight of the destruction that he had just caused with his power up.
"Ha! Ha! What's wrong? You seem afraid, Leomon."
"No! Far from it in fact! Damn you! How do you know my name?!"
"Well. One might say that we're brothers."
"What?! Impossible!"
The creature stood taunting Cyberleomon. This creature is related to Leomon? Impossible! These two aren't even related, so how can they be brothers. Well, the creature was hiding something and Leomon wants to get to the bottom of it. But would he have to fight the creature in order to get his answers?
**************************************************************************************
The other digimon felt the energy coming from Shinjuku. They knew that something was taking place in the city and were able to read the energy levels that were fighting with one another.
"Gatomon, can you feel what I'm sensing?" asked Veemon.
"Yeah. That's impossible. I can feel the energy levels of Burizalor, Lady Myotismon and Myotismon himself."
"What?! But that's not possible!" Kari said.
"I know it sounds strange but I can feel their energy."
"She's right. Their energies are just as strong as ever," Patamon said.
"But how? They're all dead!" TK said, "We saw Burizalor and Lady Myotismon defeated a year ago."
"I know that but they seem stronger than ever and are alive in Shinjuku. I can also feel the energies of Metalla X, Leomon and Omega X too."
Kari suddenly gasped when saw heard the name Omega X. Did her brother recover that quickly to fuse with Agumon in order to get to the battle on time that quickly? She ran back inside the apartment and to her relief, her brother was still sleeping.
"Hey guys! Tai and Agumon are still here sleeping!"
"Huh? That's weird! Cause I just felt Omega X's energy level. What the heck is going on around here?" pondered Veemon.
"Maybe you're just being delusional," Davis said.
"No. I know energy when I feel it and I felt Omega X's energy level! But it doesn't make any sense. Who could have his energy level?"
"Veemon, I think its time we make our move. We have to find out about this situation."
"Right! Time for a little Xveemon action!"
"Go for it!"
Davis's D-3 activated as it gave Veemon the power to digivolve into his champion leveled form.
[Digimon Adventure "Evolution" plays]
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
Xveemon picks up Davis and they set off towards Shinjuku in order to meet up with Dimitri.
"Be careful Davis," Kari cried out.
"Don't worry! We'll be back!"
"Don't worry, Kari. I'll go and follow them a little later," TK said.
"Ok, good. They may need a little help on the monster in Shinjuku."
"Right. I just don't understand how Omega X's energy can be felt in Shinjuku if Tai and Agumon are still here resting."
"Its really confusing," Patamon said, "But his energy is as strong as ever in Shinjuku. Hmmm, I wonder…"
The Digi-Destined are left to ponder whether or not that monster has the ki-levels of the strongest fighters in two worlds. But how could he have energy levels of other fighters? It just doesn't make any sense at all.
**************************************************************************************
Suddenly, Faith felt the energy levels from Shinjuku. Dimitri took notice of his digimon's state of shock and questioned him.
"What's wrong, my friend?"
"I can feel the energy levels of Omega X, Metalla X and Leomon over in Shinjuku."
"What Tai has already recovered and is at the battle site?!"
"And if you want to know what else, I can also feel the energy levels of Burizalor, Myotismon and Lady Myotismon as well."
"But that's impossible. We killed Burizalor and Lady Myotismon! How could they even be still alive? Maybe you didn't sense their energy levels correctly."
"No I know energy levels when I feel them and they belong to Burizalor."
"Alright, we better check out this situation…"
"Dimitri! Wait for us," cried out a voice.
Dimitri turned around could see Davis coming right towards them while riding on Xveemon.
"Hey, didn't I just say I would take care of this situation myself?"
"Well, Veemon here felt the ki-levels in Shinjuku and we were curious to know. So we decided to tag along with you."
"Alright, I think I could use a little help if my partner here can sense the energy levels of the evil powers that were defeated in the past are actually there in Shinjuku."
"Good plan. So I say we better get there as soon as possible."
"Right. Lets get a moving, Faith!"
Then the two digimon set off flying towards the direction to Shinjuku, in order for them to reach the city to find out the mysteries behind the ki-levels.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Metalla X could feel the energy levels while flying. He was shocked to what he felt.
"Burizalor?! He's here with Lady Myotismon?! But that's insane!"
Even he was shocked to what he felt and he was determined to know if they were still alive. So he left his training grounds and flew off towards the city of Shinjuku.
"I have got to know if the enemies of the past are actually alive. But most importantly, I need to know why I can sense my own energy over in Shinjuku. I can also sense Omega X's energy, so it's my chance to confront him."
**************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon stood his ground as he went toe to toe with the evil creature that had the mysterious power levels.
"Now that you finished showing off your power. I want answers, monster. Just who are you?"
The creature smirked, which infuriated Cyberleomon even more.
"Leomon. I will never reveal my secrets that easily."
"We'll see to it after I have beaten you."
"Ha! Your a lot more amusing than I ever imagined. Killing you will be a pleasure for me."
"You obviously don't know how I am. And you keep calling me, Leomon? Well it's about time I introduce myself to you. Allow me to show you the power within me!"
Cyberleomon powered up and unleashed a large wave of energy that sent the creature flying back. The ground started to shake and rocks were starting to lift up due to some gravitational forces. Cyberleomon felt his body powering up with tremendous energy and a bright aura formed around him.
[Digimon Adventure "Brave Heart" theme Plays]
The creature got into a blocking position as Cyberleomon continued to power up. Cyberleomon let out a roar as his body was increasing with tremendous power. The creature smiled and was quite impressed with Cyberleomon's power increase.
"Ha! I must say, Leomon. I'm impressed. You'll prove to be most satisfying meal."
"Don't count on it!"
***************************************************************************************
Faith and Xveemon were getting closer towards Shinjuku and they felt a large energy increase-taking place.
"Wow, I can feel a very strong power level increasing. I wonder who it might be."
"Oh I know who it is, Faith! Yeah this is awesome!"
"Who is it, Xveemon?" Davis asked.
"Its Leomon! The guardians must have given him the energy boost that he was looking for! He's reached a second mega level!"
"Wow, it's got to be one radical power. Wait, Azulongmon and the other three guardians give power to those who have protected the Digital World, so this is like a gift to Leomon for all the hard work he has accomplished," Dimitri said.
"Yeah. Now he's Cyberleomon! I heard that he is able to evolve into that form once he gets the energy boost that he was looking for. And it's about time too! Now we don't have to rely on each other anymore. Just think he's now as strong as a fusion digimon," Xveemon said.
"Well I'll be damned," said Dimitri, "Lets just hope he is the one that brings down this monster."
"He will and I can almost guarantee you that, Dimitri."
They continued their journey towards Shinjuku and felt the tremendous power increasing at a rapid rate. This power was indeed coming from Cyberleomon.
*************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon was still continuing to power up as his energy was rising with tremendous force. The creature sensed his energy and was quite curious to know what Cyberleomon will do next.
"You know, now would be a good time to attack Cyberleomon, what's holding you back? Hmm?"
"You know that's a very good question! Without any innocent people around, I can attack you with the best of my ability!"
"So what's stopping you?"
"Nothing because now I'm going all out on you!"
Cyberleomon held out his hand and an energy beam started to form. The creature got into a blocking position in order to deflect the blast, but Cyberleomon shot out the energy blast. It was too much for even the creature to withstand as he went flying back. The energy blast was so great that it caused an energy wave to spread across the city and cause a huge explosion as a result of it.
As the smoke cleared away, there entire area was left as a devastated landscape with fallen building debris. Cyberleomon stood, as his body was still glowing from the power up he executed. He looked across the fallen debris and waited for the creature to pop right out and attack.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the three artificials stopped at what they were doing, and that was flying. Jax could feel the enormous energy that was taking place in Shinjuku. He wondered who would that has that amount of power.
"What was that?" asked Sonja.
"I have no idea. I came from out of nowhere. Somebody had blasted some sort of enormous energy blast."
"There are two energy levels attacking one another at Shinjuku."
"Two energy levels? Do you have any idea who they belong to?" Jax asked.
"No I have no idea. I cannot recognize either of the power levels. But one of them is a lot stronger than you, Jax."
"What?! There are powers stronger than me? Impossible. Your sensors must be malfunctioning Black War Greymon. Nobody is stronger than me and that's it! I'm the strongest being in the real world. Nobody can rival my power," said Jax, "So let us ignore these two powers and let them beat the crap out of each other. We got a lot more important things to worry about."
"Lets go, Black War Greymon."
Black War Greymon looked out and wondered whom those two power levels had belonged to. He was curious to know who was battling at the moment. Then he saw the other two artificials flying off so he went to follow them in order to complete their mission.
***************************************************************************************
Back in Shinjuku, the entire city was left in total shambles and fallen debris. Almost nothing was left of the once great city. There wasn't a single sign of life that is until a huge energy blast came right out of the ground. The creature came popping out as he looked across his surroundings.
Suddenly, Cyberleomon came out of nowhere and flew right at the creature. He goes for a spin kick to the creature's head but he was able to duck under and fly away. Cyberleomon flew right after him and clashed with the creature. Both connected with two fists to each other. But it was Cyberleomon who overpowered the creature as sent the creature flying back. Cyberleomon goes flying right at the monster and starts hammering him away with rapid punches. The creature managed to fly up in order to avoid any more contact punches from Cyberleomon.
The creature looked down at Cyberleomon and smirked. Cyberleomon looked up and felt a tremendous energy increase coming from the monster. The creature pulls his fist back and something so familiar to Leomon came flying right at him. The creature had blasted Leomon's own 'Fist of the Beast King' at him. Cyberleomon maneuvered away as the blast hit the ground and caused an explosion.
Cyberleomon flew up into the air where he met with the creature once again. Cyberleomon goes punching at the monster but it was able to maneuver away from his rapid punches.
The creature goes flying right at Cyberleomon and connects with a punch to the face. Cyberleomon goes staggering back but was able to appear right behind the creature and execute a spinning back kick to the spine of the monster. The monster let out a cry as he went flying back into the ground below him. His fall created a huge impact in the ground and he was down for the time being.
Cyberleomon came flying down onto the ground as he got into a fighting position. The creature got to his feet and regained his composure.
"Monster, you're a lot stronger than I imagined but let that go straight to your head."
"Ha! You still haven't seen the full depth of my power! I have tons of arsenal left in my tank."
"What? So that's why you absorbed all of those people huh?!"
"Oh yes. They are all now apart of me. Thanks to their energy supplies, I can exploit the full depth of my power."
"Then how did you use the Fist of the Beast King attack?"
"That was just a little taste of my hidden powers. Oh yes, but you still have got a lot to learn, Cyberleomon."
The creature placed his arms up in a position that Cyberleomon was quite familiar with. The creature was going to execute one of War Greymon's patented attacks.
"Oh no! I can't be!"
**************************************************************************************
Metalla X could feel the same energy level increasing but he also felt the familiar power along with it. He stopped and his face was full of shock.
"War Greymon?!"
**************************************************************************************
Kari sat next to her sleeping brother and she looked towards Gatomon, who was looking outside.
"War Greymon?!"
Gatomon looked over towards Kari and could see Agumon still sleeping.
"Something is obviously wrong! Who is able to copy one of War Greymon's attacks?!"
***************************************************************************************
The creature felt energy forming in the palm of his hands and it was created into a rather large energy ball and looked so similar to the Terra Force. In fact, it was the set to the Terra Force! Cyberleomon could only look on with shock and disbelief! He couldn't believe at what he was seeing!
"No! How is this possible?!"
"TERRA FORCE!"
The creature pushed his arms forward and unleashed the large Terra Force attack straight at Cyberleomon. Everything became a flash of light at the last moment.
The monster has harnessed the power to create the Terra Force? Where did he learn the technique and why does he contain the ki of nearly every strong warrior of the digital world? Cyberleomon is in a drastic predicament! Can he escape the monster's Terra Force before it is too late?!

Cyberleomon: Just who are you?! Where did you come from and how were you able to create the Terra Force?!
Monster: My name is Virus and I'm an artificial created by Datamon. I was created of a different design unlike the other artificial models.

Dimitri: is that the monster?!
Virus: I was created through the data and DNA from the strongest warriors of the digital world. That is why I was able to create War Greymon's Terra Force.

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The Monster is Named Virus! Cyberleomon's Folly!
Cyberleomon stood there with a shocked look on his face as he was witnessing something that he has never seen before. He watched as the creature cupped his hands in the air and was chanting a familiar attack that Leomon could easily recognize. He could easily sense a power from War Greymon within the creature.
"Are you getting scared, Leomon? Don't worry. This will be quick. I can almost guarantee you."
"I don't believe this! How is this possible?!"
A large fiery sphere was forming in the monster's hands. The energy ball was slowly getting bigger and bigger as the seconds pass by. Cyberleomon was still in disbelief at what he was seeing right before his very eyes and he stood frozen like a statue.
"Terra…"
"But how is he able to contain some of War Greymon's energy within his being?! How is he able to form the Terra Force attack?! This is just insane!"
The creature smiled and then launched his arms forward to release the energy ball at Cyberleomon.
"FORCE!"
[Digimon 02 "Break Up!" theme plays]
Cyberleomon watched as the energy ball was hurtling right towards him. Cyberleomon managed to maneuver away from the attack just seconds right before it would engulf him alive. Cyberleomon flies up into the air and looked down to see the Terra Force attack penetrate right through the ground. A huge explosion occurred which really set off the landscape.
Cyberleomon looked down to see the smoke clear away after the explosion was starting to clam a little more. Cyberleomon turned around as he felt a strong energy level right behind him. He gasped when he saw the creature from right behind. The creature flies right at Cyberleomon and throws in several punches right at him. Cyberleomon managed to maneuver away from each punch being thrown but they were becoming very rapidly fast for even Cyberleomon to even dodge.
"He's a lot quicker than I thought! I can't let my guard down! If I make any kind of a mistake, I'm done for!"
Cyberleomon flies backwards and shoots out several ki-blasts right at the creature, but it was able to maneuver away from each blast. The creature fired away his own ki-blasts as form of retaliation. Cyberleomon quickly phases out and reappears right above the creature. Cyberleomon extends a hand out and began powering up. A large ki-blast came flying down towards the creature as if he had a target locked on him. Cyberleomon watched as the blast barely nailed the creature as the creature managed to maneuver away just the last second.
"He dodged my attack!"
The creature flies right up at Cyberleomon and decks him right in the face with a closed fist. Cyberleomon's head goes bouncing back but Cyberleomon was able to return the favor as he decked the creature right in the face with a tightly closed fist. The creature goes flying back with his face caved in from the impact of the hard punch. The creature quickly regains his composure and quickly phases out.
The creature reappears right behind Cyberleomon and grabs him. He holds Cyberleomon in a full-nelson type of maneuver and began flying towards a fiery wall left from the devastation. Cyberleomon watched in horror as he watched himself about to get rammed into the fiery wall that could to his own death.
Cyberleomon let out a roar as he felt his energy increase tremendously to add to the increase of his own strength. His power up led him to releasing himself out of the creature's evil grasp. The creature felt as the aura of light forming around Cyberleomon was actually pushing him back with tremendous force.
"Cyber Blade!"
Cyberleomon pulls out a long blade and tossed it right towards the creature. Luckily, the creature saw the blade coming right for him and was able to dodge it as he quickly phased out of the way. Cyberleomon turned to see the creature ready to attack him from behind yet again. The creature held out his hands and the palms of his hands started to open up like hatchets. Then out of nowhere, two missiles came launching out from each palm.
"Giga Missiles!"
To Cyberleomon's surprise, this attack that the creature unleashed was one of Metal Garurumon's most powerful attacks. Cyberleomon shot out several ki-blasts to easily take out the launched missiles with ease. Each of the missiles was taken out with ease from the ki-blasts unleashed by Cyberleomon.
Then as a result of these blasts being fired to take out even from some of the simplest looking missiles left a large cloud of smoke. Cyberleomon had a hard time trying to look through the thick, black cloud of smog. Suddenly, he felt the energy level from the creature quickly disappear. Did Cyberleomon really destroy the monster that easily?
Cyberleomon watched as the smoke cleared away but he wasn't able to look at what was behind him. The creature slowly crept up from behind Cyberleomon. Suddenly, the creature easily latched himself onto Cyberleomon without the heroic digimon knowing. Cyberleomon was now unable to break free as the creature held his arms tightly around Cyberleomon as if he were a boa constrictor squeezing his prey. He would indeed constrict the hell out of Cyberleomon but of course wouldn't eat him, unless he wanted to.
"I got you now, Leomon! There's no escape from this! Even my great strength is too much for even you to handle. So don't tell me, that you have a way to escape this predicament! There's no chance for escape, Leomon!"
Cyberleomon attempted to break free by using his upper body strength but the more he resisted, the more pain was given to him as a result of being squeezed tightly by the creature himself.
"Damn! I can feel my whole body being crushed! I don't think I can somehow survive this! But I can't give up now! I must win this battle and ensure victory for the Digi-Destined! I won't allow myself to be defeated, guardians! I can solely guarantee you that!"
The creature tightened his grip around Cyberleomon and began to listen to his victim's bones starting to crack. Cyberleomon let out a horrifying roar while his body was slowly being crushed by the tremendous strength of the creature's grasp. Cyberleomon let out another horrifying cry and it began to echo across the entire landscape.
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon and the other guardians quickly began to sense the energy level of Cyberleomon quickly depleting because of this one battle. Azulongmon now feared for the worst.
"Azulongmon, I understand why your starting to worry," Gennai said, "Even with your borrowed powers, Cyberleomon doesn't even stand a chance against this new threat."
"I do not like the looks of this," Azulongmon replied, "This creature is even a lot more powerful with all the borrowed powers he seems to be containing within his being. He had just used the patented attacks of those of War Greymon and Metal Garurumon, two of the mightiest megas."
"If only we would lend a hand," Baihumon said.
"I'm afraid that even with our combined powers, we're still not strong enough to fend off this new foe," Zhuiqaomon said, "He's certainly beyond our powers comprehension. For example, he isn't even a digimon, which makes it harder for us to contain any kind of power to destroy it."
"Its up to the Digi-Destined," Xuanwamon said, "If anybody stands any kind of a chance to stop this threat, it shall be them. In fact, they have fusion digimon on their sides."
"But even they are unable to beat the artificials at this moment," said Gennai.
"The artificials aren't even considered a threat now since I believe this creature itself is more lethal than the three artificials put together. I best advise the Digi-Destined to put their focus more on this creature," replied Azulongmon.
"But what about Leomon?" asked Gennai.
"Do not worry. He's not done yet. If I know him, then he won't be defeated that easily," Azulongmon said, "But he must watch himself. One mistake and then it will all be over for him."
**************************************************************************************
The creature kept his grasp onto Cyberleomon and listened as more bones were starting to crack as a result of being constricted by the tremendous strength of the monster.
"Yes… I can feel you bones breaking and I can feel your energy level depleting. Your end has now come, Leomon."
Cyberleomon let out another angry cry and it echoed throughout the entire landscape and could even be heard from many miles away. This would indeed come to help him rather than hurt him.
**************************************************************************************
The loud roar echoed and could even be heard through a long distance away, which easily caught the attention of both Dimitri and Davis as their digimon heard Cyberleomon's cries. Xveemon and Magna Angemon felt an energy level depleting and they knew first hand that it was their comrade, Leomon.
"Dimitri! I can feel Leomon's energy depleting! I fear for the worse to come if we don't make it to Shinjuku as soon as possible."
"We better hurry! Come on Davis, let's get a move on!"
"Yeah! You hear that Xveemon? We got a rescue mission on our hands!"
"Loud and clear, fasten your safety belts!"
Both digimon boosted their speed energy as they began to quickly travel across the long distance that would soon lead them towards the fallen city of Shinjuku, but they realized that they would have to face the creature as well.
***************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon struggled under the tight grasp of the evil creature, which was beginning to build more momentum on his side. Cyberleomon tried and tried to break free but everything that he did was not able to help him free himself out of such a predicament. However, Cyberleomon got an idea. He finally found a way to escape the monster's evil grasp.
Cyberleomon jerked his head forwards and looked back towards the creature. Cyberleomon did jerk his head backwards and delivered a devastating head butt into the face of his adversary. The monster went rocking back with his head jerking backwards. Cyberleomon flies down. Until then, he plans on recovering his devastating wounds. The creature goes and follows Cyberleomon down.
Cyberleomon felt his body trembling with tremendous pain after being constricted for a few minutes by the creature's powerful grasp that almost sucked the life right out of him. He was almost completely recovered but it was his low of energy that kept him down for most of the time. Cyberleomon looked towards the creature and eyed him down with an intense look on his face.
"Ha. Just look at how pathetic that you have become, Leomon. My strength was too much for even you to overcome. Its quite a shame to see you in this condition."
"Well, aren't going you going to finish me off? Well, aren't you?"
"Not just yet my friend. But all in due time."
The creature looked towards Cyberleomon and could easily tell that his strength and energy were all drained away from the tight grasp. Cyberleomon would have to find another way to fight the creature but not waste any more energy to create any kind of attack. That would be very difficult due to the fact that Leomon relies too much of energy to create powerful attacks to inflict damage on his enemies and to help him recover.
"So what's it going to be, Leomon? You look pretty much worn out as we speak."
"Yes, it seems that I have. You managed to drain away some of my own energy and I can't even fight back. I needed that energy to defeat you and help recover myself. But now it's all over for me. You can finish me off."
"Well, how very gracious of you. You're a lot smarter than I first thought. You surrender yourself to me, knowing that even you can't defeat what I truly am. So, any last requests before I kill you?"
"Yes. I require one last request and here's what I've been meaning to ask you."
"Ahhh and what is that?"
"Your identity. Just who are you?"
"Is that all?"
"No! Who are you? Where did you come from and why can I sense Omega X's powers from within your being? And why can I sense Metalla X's energy from you? And that of Myotismon and Burizalor, how is it possible?"
A smile came across the monster's face as he decided to speak up. He was now more than happy to explain of his true identity.
"Ha. Ha. Fine, very well then. I guess it wouldn't hurt just to tell you after all."
"So, who are you?"
"My name is Virus and I too am an artificial."
"You?! You're an artificial?!"
"I was designed by the master creator, Datamon."
"Grrr as I should have known."
"My purpose is to make myself the most lethal of all the artificials and I was solely created as a single force of destruction. My power is way beyond that of any of the other artificials. I was specially designed for a different task."
"Huh?"
"You see, I am a biological artificial, which sets me apart from the artificials since they are mainly robotic and created from out of scratch. And as you can see, I possess the same energy levels from such warriors as Omega X and Metalla X. Well, its very simple to explain, since you are very eager to know my secret. I was created in a special laboratory where I was kept dormant for the last few years."
"And how did you get here? We never heard or seen you before."
"I came here from another time. I came from twenty years in the distant future. And as you should know, I arrived here through a special pod craft. But before I get to that, I should explain on how I was created. I was created in a secret laboratory Datamon made as a second resort in creating the most advanced forms of artificial beings, capable of complete destruction of the human world and the digital world. That also included myself. Unfortunately, Datamon was unable to complete my creation process, so he kept me contained within a capsule in which I was made to grow and grow I eventually did overtime. I was fed as much energy that Datamon could provide for me during my twenty year dormant. And during my creation process, Datamon was able to collect the DNA and data from one of the strongest warriors to ever inhabit both the human world and the digital world. Such warriors include the evil Devimon and Etemon, both of which were needed to complete the first portions of my design. Then of course, the data of Angemon and Leomon were added to my design, both of which were considered strong warriors during those early years. But notably, the data of Myotismon, Omega X and Metalla X were also added to my design as a result to easily boost my energy supply up. But it was quite a heavy price to pay as all of these combined powers helped make me what I am today, a very powerful individual. But that is not all. I also contain the DNA and attributes of every single Digi-Destined, past and present. So you name it. Courage, friendship, love, sincerity, reliability, hope, love and kindness are all added into my being with the power of the replica crests and digivices created by Datamon."
"Ah, so I get it now. You managed to get every single attack of every fighter from both worlds, even us digimon? But you also managed to receive the power of every crest into your being. You contain the so-called power of the Digi-Destined."
"Yes, that's right. And you should also realize that Datamon also collected some more energy from other strong fighters. At last minute attempt, Datamon was very desperate in collecting some DNA of powerful warriors. And he was in luck. It is now said that Burizalor made a visit to the digital world. Him and Lady Myotismon arrived as they attempted to destroy both worlds in one full swoop. But then Dimitri quickly stopped them. Datamon managed to collect the DNA from both evil warlords before they both met their end at the hands of Angemon X. With these two added to my being, I also contained the powers of those two and I have achieved their evil minds to officially design me as a cerebral mastermind. You know, Dimitri's DNA along with his digimon's data would have been put into my single being but my body contained enough warrior information. So it really wasn't necessary for me."
"But how did Datamon manage to collect the DNA and data? We never saw him or anybody suspicious around to collect them."
"It was quite simple really. Datamon managed to create small insect devices that managed to latch themselves on the warriors they were destined to collect information from. Once that data was collected, the insect devices would return back to the secret laboratory and place those bits of data into my body during my near twenty-three year dormant sleep. As you can see, we are being monitored at this very moment. Do you see the insect device? It's the size of a small housefly. You see it?"
Cyberleomon looked up and could see a small, insect flying right above them as it was monitoring the two. Cyberleomon shoots out a ki-blast and destroys the small insect with ease as it shattered into pieces as a result of the ki-blast.
"Ha! Ha! That's excellent work, Leomon. But your efforts have proven to be futile!"
"What do you mean?"
"You and everybody on this damn planet shall be absorbed into my being as I yearn to become the most powerful being. As we speak at this moment, my being is growing within the chamber in this present time."
"No! You're wrong! We destroyed Datamon's lab and all of his equipment!"
"Ah, but your forgetting that Datamon has an underground chamber at the bottom of his real laboratory. His secret lab contains my chamber and my present form is growing as we speak."
"Good! Then it's not too late! There is till time to get to the secret lab in no time!"
"Don't be so absurd! The computer for my chamber has been already preset. The chamber and the computer won't activate until the next twenty years and from then, I shall already be out of my chamber and complete! So are we done talking?"
"No. I need to know why you came here? What is your real purpose?"
"My you are so full of questions. But it looks like I'll just have to explain the rest of my story for you to make you completely understand. You see, my being doesn't only require those of humans and digimon alone to help my power grow. I require those of two more sources of energy. According to Datamon's main computer, I require the energies of those of the artificials, Sonja and Jax."
"What?!"
"You need to realize that these two artificials are very swift and deadly. Now you may know that the combined powers of such warriors as Omega X, Metalla X and Burizalor were strong enough to make up my whole being. But their powers pales in comparison to the limitless energy these two artificials possess. I thrive on that kind of energy. But there was one small problem. From the time period that I came from, I found out that the artificials were gone off into another world, perhaps the Digital World. I waited for them to return back into the human world, but I couldn't wait any longer. I managed to find one of these so-called pods and hi-jacked it. I looked at the calculations and wasted no time in setting the coordination's to my next destination. Then as soon as I arrived here in this time period, I made sure to completely conserve my energy by de-evolving back into an insect-like state and borrowed myself underground where I stayed there dormant for the last four years to completely conserve my energy. And all of that waiting was quite worth it for me."
"But why this particular time? I don't understand."
"I didn't know because all I did was push a button. I managed to hi-jack a pod that was supposed to arrive here for some particular reason, but it really didn't matter to me anymore, I am now here. I shall find what I am looking for."
"Now it's starting to become clear. We've been trying to find out the reason why everything has been going out of proportion ever since Dimitri warned us of the arrival of the artificials, his predictions were completely becoming quite out of place and we've been wondering why that has been happening. And now I may have found out the answer to our problems. Yes, it was this guy who was meddling with time itself and hi-jacked that pod!"
"The computer also told me one other thing?"
"What's that?"
"Once I absorb the energy of the two artificials, I shall become the most powerful being in two worlds!"
"But why?! You already the strongest warrior in your own time period!"
"That maybe true but all I am doing is what Datamon desires. I was meant to absorb those artificials! It what I was designed to do. Of course, it could be the data and DNA of both Burizalor and Myotismon that fuels my desires of more power."
"Now, I see. Its just a consipracy for you to take over two worlds."
"No. I don't plan on ruling anything. No, I plan on doing something such worse than that. I plan on plummeting these two worlds into the depths of hell itself! Nothing will stop me from absorbing the two artificials in order to finally reach my final form and the destruction of both worlds shall begin!"
"I see now. This is everything that you needed to tell?"
"Yes, that is all my friend. So Leomon, are we done talking? Because I'm about ready to tear you apart limb by limb."
"Yes. You have said more than enough, Virus!"
Cyberleomon powered up as a wave of energy and an aura of light emulated over his entire body. This caused a shock wave to appear to push Virus back. Cyberleomon lets out a powerful roar and he quickly gained back his power as a result.
"Ha. All I needed to do was reach down and call forth my reserved energy that I managed to keep. So, just be lucky that I didn't kill you just yet."
"You tricked me! Damn you!"
"Well. Now you're not as dumb as you look, Virus. And I guarantee you this! I shall never allow yourself to reach your final form! It ends here for you, Virus!"
Virus growled angrily as he jumped onto his feet and faced off Cyberleomon. Both had their eyes locked onto one another and either one was ready to make the first move.
***************************************************************************************
Metalla X was flying through the air as he was on his way over to the fallen city of Shinjuku. He was getting more eager to find out what kind of enemy is attacking the city and how he contains the energy levels of many of the strongest fighters in two worlds. Metalla X looked across the landscape and the skies were getting dark. This symbolized his dark desires at fighting this new enemy but it also symbolized trouble on the horizon, but what could it mean?
"These storm clouds just came out of nowhere! I wonder what the deal is! Its not because its going to rain. No there must be some sort of energy level close by that is causing all of this. But I must find out what it is. I know its over in Shinjuku, and that's where I am heading!"
As soon as he said that, Metalla X boosted his speed energy and made sure that he traveled over the long distance in order to make it to Shinjuku. But it would take a long while for him to get there at this rate. He had no time to lose.
**************************************************************************************
Faith and Xveemon felt a tremendous ki increase in Shinjuku. They could only gasp in shock at the turn of events that has taken place.
"What is it, Faith?" Dimitri asked.
"Leomon's energy level somehow increased just dramatically! Its unbelievable!"
"Is he right, Xveemon?"
"Yeah, Davis. Leomon wasn't bluffing when he said that he would acquire more power from the guardians! It's skyrocketing!"
"But we better get there as soon as possible. I need to know what this thing is and why it attacked Shinjuku. I need to know if its really that creature that came from that pod," Dimitri replied, "Faith, we're going to have to cover more ground from here, you hear?"
"Loud and clear. Don't worry. We'll get there as soon as possible. We're not too far."
"So are you ready to fasten your safety belt, Davis?" asked Xveemon.
"Yeah unfortunately. Lets go!"
"Hang on tight!"
With that said, Xveemon and Faith boosted up their energy as they flew across the landscape and managed to increase their speed in order to reach the long distances.
But too far behind them was none other than TK and Angemon. They had left the apartment complex in order to catch up with Dimitri and Davis. They felt they shouldn't be left out on the action. Kari had agreed to let TK go for a while so that she can look after her sick brother.
"We're managing to catch up to them. It shouldn't be long before we reach the city of Shinjuku."
"Yeah. I wouldn't let Davis go and take all the action for himself, so I decided to tag along."
"Are you sure it was okay with Kari to leave her?"
"She had no problem with it, just as long as we come back safely. We can manage to keep ourselves out of trouble. Besides, Dimitri and Davis are there. Leomon should also be over at Shinjuku at this very moment. I just hope he's holding out on his own. I'm really starting to worry about him."
"Have a little more faith in Leomon. He's a warrior. He can look out after himself. He won't die on us without a good reason."
"You're right. So, what are we waiting for? Lets get there at least to beat Davis on over there."
"Right! Hang on tight!"
With that said, Angemon boosted his speed and they flew off a whole long distance across the landscape and towards the city of Shinjuku.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile back in Shinjuku, a showdown was taking place between the two super powers, Virus and Cyberleomon. Virus was still shocked at the stunt that Cyberleomon managed to pull off. Virus didn't expect him to hide some reserved powers and quickly use it to refuel his power. And Virus certainly didn't expect Leomon to be as strong as he was. Even Virus couldn't understand how he would have a hard time taking out Leomon when he had the chance, but he soon realized the warrior's powers despite containing Leomon's powers within his being.
Virus lashed out his scorpion-like tail and some juices started to drip from the very tip of his spiked tail. The juices fell to the ground as they began to eat through like acid. In fact, the juices were acid. So his body also contained acids that could easily burn through flesh, this was something Leomon didn't expect as well. But he wouldn't even let that bother him.
Leomon pointed to Virus and pulls out his blade. He pointed the blade to Virus as if he were ready to attack him.
"Well Leomon, I managed to underestimate you at this very moment. But don't think that I am totally impressed with your full power! You still haven't seen the full depth of my fair share of power as well."
"I don't think you even managed to learn the full depths of my power. You managed to collect as much energy as you could when you had me in your grasp. But you should have finished me off when you had the chance. And for that, I'm going to decapitate you."
"Very cunning. And it was this full power that you managed to exploit at the very last minute. That was quite a little trick that you managed to pull off."
"Don't give me the full credit. You can thank the four digimon guardians for that."
"The guardians. Hmmm. Oh yes, I see now. It's the four guardians. So they gave your this new power through the digital cores!"
"That's right. I'm quite surprised to see that you're not as dumb as you look."
"So, that's how he received that large amount of power. It certainly wouldn't make any sense if he had reached to the true pinnacle of his energy level without the help of the digital cores, possessed by the Holy Beasts. But I remember if the cores lose their power, then the Digital World will be left unstable. The cores are needed to keep the Digital World under full survival, kind of like a battery that runs a vehicle. How ingenious. Heh. Heh."
Suddenly, Virus started to take a few steps back as Cyberleomon started to slowly approach him with the blade in his band.
"Well Leomon, you managed to get out of that little predicament. But now, it looks like I'm going to have to rid of you. Your power is amazing but it is still not enough in defeating me."
"I don't think you even seen the real depth of my true power. But you will soon."
As soon as he said that, Virus jumps back and leaps on top of a fallen concrete stairway and lashed out his tail in a defenseive position. He was ready to strike Cyberleomon at any given opportunity. Just then, Virus looks up and feels two energy levels about to approach the area. No make that three. He could only wonder who would arrive with such strong energy levels.
Cyberleomon felt the powerful energy levels and looked up as well. He was quite surprised to see none other than Xveemon and Faith, but he also saw Angemon. Davis, Dimitri and TK had arrived and they were not too late to help Cyberleomon.
"Look! I see Leomon!" Faith said.
"And looks like he's alright at the moment," Davis said, "But who is that down there with him?"
The Digi-Destined looked down. They were surprised by the appearance of Virus. A disgusted look came across the face of Xveemon when he got the first glimpse of the monster.
"Ugh… That thing is freaking me out."
TK took a looked down and was quite surprised at what he was seeing.
"Is that the thing that came from out of the pod in the Digital World?!"
"Look at it. Just look at its skin," Dimitri said, "Its quite possible that this thing is the creature that came out of the pod when we found it in the Digital World."
Virus looks up and could see Dimitri. A smile formed across his face. It looks as though he can easily recognize Dimitri, but how does he know Dimitri if Dimitri hasn't even seen Virus before?
"Dimitri is here. Stupid boy, he thinks that he can change the events that have lead to this very moment; well he's sadly mistaken. And he keeps blaming himself for the change of the turn of events in this present time period. Well this has gotten a lot more interesting than I first thought."
Xveemon, Faith and Angemon all landed to help Cyberleomon. They all turned to face Virus, who was giving them a cold stare. His mere presence was quite frightening to say the least.
"Davis, this guy is freaking me out man."
"No kidding. He's uglier than a stone fish."
"No stone fishes aren't ugly, they're hideous and this guy is just plan out ugly! Period!" exclaimed Xveemon.
"Hey, answer me this? How am I able to sense War Greymon's and Palmon's energy levels here?" asked Angemon.
"Don't worry. I'll explain everything later. Right after we beat this thing!"
"Ha! Ha! You possibly think you can defeat me? Ha! Don't flatter yourself! I'll be long gone right after I dispatch of you four! Just watch and learn when I use the Terra Force technique, you'll be quite surprised!"
"The Terra Force," cried out TK, "But that's solely used by War Greymon! How is that even possible? He's not even a digimon from what we know."
"The Terra Force isn't the only technique I know how to use, Takeru," Virus said, "But I know of another technique called the Gate of Destiny."
"Ah! This guy is a freak! How does he even know my name," TK stuttered with fear.
"I don't care! I say we shut this guy down once and for all! Xveemon! Do the honors!"
"Right! Come on ugly!"
"Ha! Don't waste my time, Daisuke!"
Xveemon goes flying at Virus and throws in several punches at the evil artificial but Virus was able to maneuver away from each punch being thrown at him. Virus flips over and powers up for his next attack.
"Daisuke! I hope you're quite familiar with this technique! Fire Rocket!"
Xveemon gasped at what he just heard as he saw Virus shooting out several fist-sized balls of fire at him. Xveemon felt the flaming balls nail him right in the chest, which sends him flying back.
"Unreal! He even knows the attacks of the armored digimon as well!" Cyberleomon exclaimed.
Virus puts his two hands together and an electrical ball of energy started to form above his head. He took that electrical ball and tossed it right at Xveemon.
"Thunder Clash!"
Now he was using Lighdramon's attacks against Xveemon. Davis was still in shock at what Virus was doing. He couldn't believe that such a creature would possess the powers of those of the digimon.
"You guys! It's best that we attack together! That way he won't know what hit him!" exclaimed Cyberleomon.
"Leomon! Once I absorb the two artificials and reach my final form, you won't be so cocky!"
"Grr! Face it, your outnumbered and outmatched! You can't win!"
"So you want me to make a believer out of you? You underestimate my power and that's a mistake that shall cost you dearly. So I'll tell you what."
Virus goes flying up into the air with something up his sleeve. He wouldn't be doing this if he had an ace up his sleeve.
"I like to stay and chat but I got two friends waiting for my arrival. But here's something I can make it up to you four. I hope you like this little going away present! Ha! Ha!"
The digimon all flew up right at Virus to prepare to attack the evil artificial with everything that they have. But just then, Virus' eyes started to glow a crimson color. He was now going to use one of Gatomon's most useful techniques.
"Cats Eye!"
With that said, Virus sends out an ultra violet light that caused a bright light to emulate across the landscape. This wasn't Gatomon's version of the Cats Eye technique but Virus modified it into his own use. Now this flash of light blinded the digimon and the Dig-Destined. Virus took this chance to find his way through the bright light and into a perfect place to escape. Virus flies off into the horizon and disappears without the digimon knowing.
As the bright flash began to fade away, they all regained their sight back and they began to realize that Virus had now vanished from sight. Cyberleomon angrily uncovered his eyes and looked across the landscape. He couldn't even see any signs of Virus. He then turned to face the Digi-Destined.
"Hey! That attack! That was one of Gatomon's techniques wasn't it?!"
"Yeah. It is and it's a perfect way if you're looking to escape from sight," TK said.
"Damn! That coward!"
The digimon all spread out and began to search the area. They couldn't believe that they had lost sight of Virus. Cyberleomon came so close in fighting the evil monster himself and was so close in saving humanity, but now Virus was gone and could be out there in the human world, looking for more sources of energy.
"We had better go and look for Virus! If we don't stop him, a lot of innocent people are going to die!"
The digimon angrily looked towards the skies and began to ponder where Virus could have escaped. But Cyberleomon was right; if they can't stop him then the fate of humanity shall be in jeopardy. The Digi-Destined must act quickly before anything else goes wrong.
***************************************************************************************
Virus found himself running across the landscape through a forest. He had used the techniques of the other digimon to his advantage and had outwitted the Digi-Destined during the first meeting. But he would now make sure that they would not foil his plans in absorbing the two artificials. He desires for their power and will stop at nothing to get it.
"Ha! That fool, Leomon doesn't realize what he's up against. How can he be so confident against the likes of me? Sure he's powerful, but it's still not enough to beat me. And those Digi-Destined are no different. Once they realize the full potential of my inner depths of my power, they won't be able to stop me. And I can sense the presence of the Digi-Destined of Courage. Taichi is still alive in this time. Well I'll go pay him a visit later. But first, it's off to absorb the two artificials to reach my full, final form."
With that said, Virus flies across the landscape in order to get himself through long distances to reach his next destination.
**************************************************************************************
Back in the apartment complex where Kari and Tai live, the other Digi-Destined were sticking to the local television and they received no updates on the monster situation. However, the digimon were getting quite anxious. They were getting ready for the battle that they would soon take participation in very soon.
Kari sat next to her brother and was looking after him throughout the whole day. She was beginning to fall asleep as a result. But just then, she looked down and could see Tai moving his hand just a bit.
"You guys! Tai is moving is hand! Looks like he's about to come out of his sleep."
The other Digi-Destined all gathered around Tai and looked down at their fallen leader. Tai began moving both hands but was unable to lift his whole body. However, this was a good sign. Now Tai was looking good as far as his health was concerned. Sora could only look on and smile.
"Tai. Good. Just rest a little bit. You'll be back in action and we do, we'll beat these artificials together," Sora said.
"Well now that we have Tai and Agumon recovering, we still have problems. It's like that creature that attacked Shinjuku. We should be on the look out," Izzy said.
"Not to mention to look out for the artificials," Joe replied.
"As long as we stick together then nothing will stop us. Not even those mean old artificials," Cody said, "But how can we be sure that this creature may even be stronger than the three artificials?"
"Just believe in ourselves and the power of our digimon," Mimi said, "After all, we still got the two fusion digimon. Plus, Dimitri and Leomon on our side. So they shouldn't have many problems with that monster right now. So I wouldn't worry."
"I'm not sure if I can agree with you about that one. We're still pretty much in serious trouble," Ken said to himself.
Yolei looked towards Ken and began to think the same thing.
**************************************************************************************
Metalla X looked at a devastated city and has finally arrived in Shinjuku. He couldn't believe at the mass destruction that was left by Virus' evil power.
"This is just terrible! How can one single force kill off a large human population in under a short few minutes."
But then, Metalla X turned to see somebody powering up. He felt an enormous power increase and a shocked look came across his face at what he was seeing. Down below him was Cyberleomon angrily powering up after blaming himself for losing track of Virus.
"No! It's Leomon! How did he manage to get this strong in a short amount of time?! It's not possible! I'm at the fusion level and now even Leomon surpasses me!"
Metalla X had seen enough and flies down to meet up with Cyberleomon and the others. They all turned to face him.
"Young father," Dimitri said.
"Whoa! Metalla, I didn't even detect you coming here," Xveemon said.
"Save me the questions. Now tell me what happened here."
"Well since you came here a little too late, I might as well explain to you everything. You all need to hear about this," Cyberleomon said.
"Just one question? How did you get so strong? There's no way that you could have achieved the pinnacle of power in such a short period of time," replied Metalla X.
"I'll tell you how," Dimitri said, "Leomon had gone to see the four Holy Beasts to seek more power. Azulongmon gave him the power from one of the Digital Cores. So, there you have it. Are you satisfied now?"
"Yes. Thank you, Dimitri for being the only one to open their mouth around here. Now what is this creature that attacked Shinjuku. Tell me everything now, Leomon!" Metalla X exclaimed angrily.
Cyberleomon nodded as he began to explain everything about the Virus creature and his sole purpose. They all sat around and began to listen since this would be a very long and descriptive explanation.
**************************************************************************************
Virus flew across a long distance in a large, great forest, but he managed to find himself in a clear opening. He stopped and landed on the ground. He looked around his surroundings as a thought came to his mind.
"As long as I keep my distance away from those troublesome children and their annoying digimon, I should be able to exploit my grounds and look for more life sources to keep my power going. In fact, I should prey on some helpless humans right about now before I find those artificials. There's nothing better than tasting the quick dash of fear on your lips."
Just then, there were some cries from within the forest. They were more like happy and playful cries from several teenage kids. Virus looked across through the bushes and peeked to see several teenage girls putting on bikinis, as they were getting ready to take a swim in the lake just away from their campsite.
"Excellent. These insolent humans should help keep my hunger down for the time being."
Just as Virus was about to make his move, one of the girls came running towards the bushes to put her bathing suit on.
"Hey! You better hurry up, Valerie!" one of the other girls shouted to their friend.
"Uh. Just hold on a minute!"
"Before we like start growing old or something!"
The girl began to get undressed and took off her shirt and then her blue jean shorts. Virus looked on from within the bushes as he quickly examined the physicality of the girl. He admired her female body structure quite a bit. Virus let out a small hissing noise, which quickly caught the girl's attention. She looked up and cupped herself to make sure nobody was looking at her getting undressed.
"Hello? Is anybody there?"
No answer. The girl walks over towards the bushes and slowly crept towards them.
"Amy, is that you again? You know how much I hate playing these horror movie games."
She walks over and uncovers the bushes to see if anybody was there and to her surprise she didn't see anything. But then she jumped back when something came jumping out. She let out a scream and fell backwards. She looked to see what had jumped out and scared her. To her surprise, it was nothing more than a small, little chipmunk.
"Aww. It's just you. For a minute there, I thought you were some psycho maniac in the woods that likes to kill innocent girls like myself. You scared me there for a second."
The girl picks up the little chipmunk and began to pet it gently. She placed back down to the ground and the little chipmunk quickly ran away into the forest.
"Hope you get home to your family, little guy. Man, I gotta hurry up and get dressed."
As soon as she turned around, a long, scorpion-like tail came lashing out from out of nowhere and pierced itself through the girl's chest. She let out a horrifying scream as Virus came walking out from the bushes with a cruel smile on his face.
"Resistance is futile, little girl. Your energy shall become apart of me!"
The girl cried out even more as she began to witness her entire body slowly being sucked away through the tail of the evil monster. Her life force was slowly fading away and Virus would soon gain more energy to keep his hunger under control.
"I must hurry, if I want to locate those artificials. Those other human girls shall be quite an appetizing."
***************************************************************************************
Back in the fallen ruins of the once great city of Shinjuku, Cyberleomon had explained everything that the other Digi-Destined needed to know. Everything was told, from Virus' birth, his sole purpose and the depths of his powers.
"And that's the whole story. Virus requires the energy of the two artificials in order to reach his final form. Since we can't defeat the artificials alone, we can't imagine the thought of having to battle Virus with the two artificials contained within his being. If he completes this task, he shall become the most powerful being in two worlds."
The Digi-Destined could only visualize the thoughts of Virus gaining the power of the two artificials with sheer horror. If that were to happen, then there would be no chance of them beating the evil Virus. If they can't even defeat the artificials, what makes them able to destroy Virus?
"This is just unbelievable! Every time, we reach a new level of strength, there's always a higher power that appears and challenges our authority! Well no more! I say we reach a higher level of power! It seems destiny keeps laughing at my face, just like Tai."
"So what do we do now?" asked TK.
"I know what we can do," Dimitri said, "I say you and I go to the laboratory location and we can find the secret bunker that contains the present day Virus that is still currently growing in the lab. That way we only have to worry about one Virus and not allow another one to grow."
"Good idea!" TK said, "And what about you guys?"
"We were thinking of finding Virus since we can locate his energy level unlike the artificials since they don't possess any ki," Cyberleomon replied, "If we destroy Virus, there will be no way he can absorb the artificials and reach his final perfect form. If we do it vice verse, then Virus won't have any artificials to absorb. So are we all clear about this?"
"I'm not! You guys can good ahead! But instead of running from a fight, I'll seek for this new challenge. You see, with my new fusion power, I can find new ways to increase my energy level and reach a new status of power. I will ascend to a new level of power," Metalla X ranted on.
'Ascend' to a new level of power? The other Digi-Destined were thinking that he was crazy but were beginning to believe that he could be able to reach a new level of power that will ensure him that he becomes the most powerful fighter in two worlds.
"So. I suggest you all just stand aside. You all can go look for this monster if you want to, but we shall train ourselves. Gabumon has been telling me that we are able to ascend to the next level and if there's anybody who can accomplish that, it will be us. So, I guess I'll be seeing you all later then."
With that said, Metalla X goes flying off as he began to make plans for his next attack. He has been ranting on to the rumors of reaching to the next level of power but will be able to ascend to that next level of power?
"So, shall we get started then?" asked Dimitri.
"Yeah. Lets get going and we better hurry," TK said, "Virus will absorb as much energy as he can from innocent people so we better be careful."
"Right. Davis, you will come with me. We'll look for Virus," Cyberleomon said.
"Right. You hear that Xveemon?"
"Loud and clear. We got a bug to catch!"
"Alright! Lets move out!"
The four digimon all spread out with their human partners on their next plan of action. TK and Dimitri headed back towards the location of the devastated laboratory of Datamon in order to find the secret lab containing the plans to Virus' creation. Cyberleomon and Davis set off to find the actual monster themselves. But they would have to hurry before Virus gets stronger after absorbing more innocent people. Time is of essence at this very moment.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, on the other side of the great forest, the three artificials were snooping around. Well to be exact, Jax was sitting around while Sonja was behind some tall bushes trying on the new clothes that she stole from several convenient stores. Black War Greymon was also sitting around and waiting alongside Jax.
"Ugh. Really, how long does it take for her to try on some new clothes,"Jax said to himself in thought.
Just then, Sonja came walking out wearing black leather pants, a black leather halter-top and some black high-heel boots.
"Well it's about time you picked out the perfect outfit of your liking! So is that what you're going to wear?"
"Yeah, doesn't it just look great?"
"Yeah not too shabby. Now can we get going and continue our search for Taichi?"
"Sure, whenever you are ready."
"Black War Greymon, can you find the location of Taichi and Agumon at this very moment?" asked Jax.
"Yes. According to my sensors, his presence is located within Odaiba."
"Then its Odaiba where we're heading! Let's go!"
With that said, the three artificials flew up and headed off towards Odaiba where they would locate Taichi as soon as possible. But they aren't the only ones that were off to kill Taichi, but another being who craved for the destruction of the Digi-Destined of Courage. And that being would be Virus.
**************************************************************************************
The other teenage girls were quickly sucked away through Virus' scorpion-like tail. Virus could feel his energy supply increasing as a result.
"Yes, this was quite enough for me at the moment. But I'm going to need more to keep my hunger down."
Just then, Virus could feel the presence of many life forces in one area. There was a nearby town just mile away from the forest.
"Well, looks like I managed to hit the buffet bar at this instant. Well then, its suppertime. So, wait for me artificials, I'll be looking for you soon enough!"
Virus then goes flying off through the forest and across the lake as he began to set out to search for more prey within the nearby town. A sinister laughter echoed throughout the forest and this certainly wasn't a good thing for the residents of the nearby town, for soon they become Virus' prey within minutes!
Virus has managed to find himself a buffet meal in a nearby town and the Digi-Destined are unaware of it. Can the Digi-Destined find Viru's location and stop him before he absorbs the two artificials?

***************************************************************************************
[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The Secret to Virus' Birth! Taichi and Agumon Awaken!
The two groups had split up in order to accomplish their mission a lot faster and give them a better chance to explore the entire area around them. Leomon and Davis went off to find the evil monster Virus and they will attempt to stop him at all costs. Metalla X had already left to find a secret spot in order to rethink his strategies as he plans on fighting Virus and getting vengeance back at the artificials, especially Sonja.
Meanwhile, TK and Dimitri went off to find the secret laboratory that Virus was talking about. They were now heading back towards the location of where Datamon's former laboratory once stood. There they hope to find more clues to the birth of Virus and perhaps the creation of the artificials. There has got to be many secrets to uncover and Dimitri is hell bent on finding out himself.
"Hey, Dimitri! Tell me. In what way has the future been destroyed? I mean, I understand that the artificials completely destroyed the entire planet, but what other agendas did they have in mind?"
"Well, if I wanted to tell you in a much simpler way, then I can. Well, they really don't have plans on taking over any world, whether it is our world or the Digital World. But I do know for a fact that these artificials crave nothing more than to just spread fear among the innocence."
"Kind of like terrorists in a way."
"They're worst. These monsters couldn't be stopped. Armies were easily swept away by their unlimited powers and the digimon stood no chance against them. Even Metalla X and the other megas were swatted away like flies."
"Man that's not good. So, how did you and Mimi manage to survive?"
"We hid underground. That's practically the only area on the planet that the artificials never bothered to investigate. We decided to use the underground shelters to our advantage. And it sure didn't feel good living down there for all of those years and fearing for the worst."
"Dimitri was just devastated at the losses of his many friends," Faith said, "I was there the whole time to see him going through all of that pain and anguish. Trust me, the future world that we came from is not a very pleasant sight."
"So your mom managed to survive?" asked Angemon.
"Well you know my mother wasn't much of the fighting type. She always cared for the welfare of others and that's how she became such a good mother," Dimitri said, "She really changed for the better. No shopping malls, so she pretty much had to steal. We practically all did since law and government was destroyed."
"Ah, so you were thieves," TK remarked.
"We had to steal in order to survive. No laws were there to stop us. But we hoped that one-day that somebody would have the power to destroying these two demons. They take away lives just for their own cruel pleasure."
"Now for Black War Greymon, you never seen him in your time?"
"I always knew that there would have been a third artificial but I never knew when and where it would strike. It was quite a shock to find out that it is an evil clone of the original War Greymon. I'm willing to bet that he's the most powerful of the three."
"Until of course..."
"Until we found Virus' egg and that pod. He possesses the powers of every single digimon that you all faced in the past but he even possesses your digimon's powers. He even has the power of every single crest and D-3 in this body. I'm telling ya, he's a walking nightmare."
"Geez, its almost as if we are fighting ourselves," TK said.
"That's another good way to put it," Faith replied.
"We're getting close TK. I can feel it," Angemon said.
"We are?"
They all looked up ahead and managed to see a fallen pile of rubble from a far off distance. He also managed to see some destroyed debris and it looked like that an explosion of some sort took place in this area. Angemon began to feel its presence even more and looked down towards it.
"Yes. This has got to be it. This is the former site of Datamon's laboratory," replied Faith.
"Then lets land right here and investigate," Dimitri said.
The two Angemons landed down on the fallen debris below them. The two boys jumped off and landed on the ground. Dimitri picked up several rocks and they felt hot on his hands.
"Whoa! That burns! Yep this has got to be the site all right. Good work, Faith."
"But how are we going to find the secret laboratory now?"
"Leomon said that the laboratory was at the bottom of the former lab site in a bunker. I'm willing to bet that it wasn't completely destroyed when I blasted the lab out of its misery," Faith said.
"Right when we were Angemon X, I was sure that we completely destroyed the whole lab. I doubt that there would have been an underground bunker."
"Well we don't know if we don't look around," TK said.
"TK. I got an idea. Since there's too much debris to cover here and we couldn't lift all of these rocks up, I saw we let our digimon blast them to smithereens."
"Good plan. We'll begin right away."
"The sooner, the better."
"That's an understatement. Angemon, get ready to blast some rocks!"
"Time to rock 'n roll, Faith!"
The two Angemons nodded towards each other as they both began to power up in order to create many multiple blasts. This way they could destroy the area, clear it away and uncover the possible underground bunker. Angemon's fist began to glow and Faith wields around his sword, Excalibur.
"I'm ready! Hand of Fate! Hi-yee!"
"Gate of Destiny!"
Angemon's fist attack managed to blow away some debris and clear away in order to uncover the exposed ground. Faith waves Excalibur around in a circular motion and a small gateway started to form. As it opened up, a large energy blast came shooting out and towards the ground. This eventually pushed away some of the debris and uncover the first portions of the fallen debris.
"Alright guys, lets try it again! But this time with more power!" TK cried out.
"C'mon, Faith!"
Angemon wrenches his fist back and unleashes another energy blast from his patented fist. Faith waves around Excalibur and a gate started to form. Then an energy blast came shooting out from the small gate and managed to clear away more of the fallen debris. Now more land was being cleared away and the ground was starting to expose even more.
"I think one more shot should do it!" cried out Dimitri.
Angemon wrenches his fist back once again but this time he put more energy in his fist attack. Faith cups his hands together and formed a ball of energy. Angemon thrusts his fist back and unleashes a large energy blast towards the ground. Faith pushed his cupped hands forward and shot out a large energy blast that easily cleared away a large mass of the fallen debris. The energy attacks managed to plow the fallen rubble away and a small hatchet door was found among the exposed debris. The two Digi-Destined gasped in shock at what they saw.
"That's got to be it," Dimitri said.
"Lets go check it out."
The two boys head on over towards the secret door and start to examine it. Dimitri starts to pull on it and manages to pull out the top of the hatchet door.
"What do you know? It's open. I guess we must have blasted away it key and shut down its security lock as a result of the explosion," TK said.
"This is it? Are you ready?"
"Yeah, but I think you should go down first. We have to make sure there aren't any guards down there."
"I doubt it. Datamon usually guards everything through his network. He wouldn't need any guards. And besides, that explosion knocked out every security network in the lab."
"Right."
The boys along with their digimon climbed down through a ladder and managed to find themselves climbing down into a dark pit. They couldn't even see their whole surroundings. TK didn't like th dark that much but that wasn't going to bother him or let alone, slow him down.
"See anything?" asked Faith.
"Not yet. If only we had light," Dimitri said.
"Allow me to help," said Angemon as he held up one finger and an aura of light started to glow on his finger. Now it became bright enough for them to look through the near darkened underground bunker.
"Not a shabby move. If I do say so myself," TK said.
"Ha. Yeah right," Dimitri remarked.
Angemon led them through with the use of his light in order to see to where they were going. They all looked up ahead and they saw a large door. Was this the door that would lead them into the underground laboratory?
"Well this is it," Dimitri said, "You ready to open the door."
TK nodded and walked over towards the metal door. He grabbed the doorknob and to his surprise it was open. But now it makes sense, since everything was activated through a security system that Datamon programmed himself. But with the lab destroyed and the security systems down, every door that was locked had now become available.
"So what do you see, TK?" Angemon asked.
"Don't know yet."
TK walked through the door and realized that it was almost completely dark. He couldn't stand the dark anymore, not because he was scared of it but because he couldn't see very well. TK touched walls and managed to flick on a switch. And then the lights started to come on. What TK and Dimitri were seeing before them was the secret laboratory that Leomon was referring to.
"I can't believe this! Look at this place. Datamon must have fixed this place up and it might have taken him years to accomplish this!"
"You're right, TK. And this has to be the bunker where Datamon keeps all of his secret experiments. Nobody has access to it."
"Not even the artificials?"
"I'm not quite sure, but…"
Dimitri began to examine the room. It was filled with large test tubes with computers surrounding the walls. There were layout plans scattered across the floor and in the center of the lab was a large, test tube of some sort. But what was inside of it was beyond Dimitri.
"What do you see?" asked Faith.
"Oh man! You guys! Check this out!"
TK and Angemon looked over to see Dimitri looking over at the test tube. They all ran over towards the test tube and gasped at what they were seeing. Theres was a small creature of some sort growing inside of the chamber. It looked quite similar to Virus, with its head shape and skin colorations. In fact, it is Virus in his infant form! This was present-day Virus that they were looking at.
"Look at it. That's got to be Virus in his first stages of development," Dimitri said.
"And to believe that this thing is made of the data and cells from the strongest warriors in two worlds. He even has Angemon's powers. Eww gross," TK said.
"Yeah and that's not all. This thing is going to continue on growing and growing until it breaks out of its own test tube. Its only a matter of time."
"But this thing won't break free until another twenty-three years or so."
"Yeah and the longer it remains in this tube, the stronger it shall get. But it will be even worse once it breaks free."
"So how do you think that it goes through his stages in development?" Faith asked.
"Well first, it will break free out of this tube. Then once that happens, it will leave its chamber and began to grow and shed its skin eventually. Then it will grow, into that terrible creature known as Virus. If we stand any kind of a chance, we are going to need a lot of strategy."
"You're telling me!" TK exclaimed.
"C'mon guys. I say we blast that thing before it breaks out," Angemon said.
"No wait. I say we check this place out and find anymore clues on the secrets of the artificials," replied Dimitri, "I'm willing to bet that we could find a way to exploit the artificial's weaknesses. If anybody knows their weaknesses, that would have to be Datamon since he designed them and I just found the way."
TK walks over towards Dimitri and sees him shuffling through several blueprint papers of the artificial's structure.
"Hmmm. So those are the layout plans for the artificials?" asked TK.
"Yeah and through these we can finally indicate the artificial's weaknesses. Look at this. Here's the layout plan for model-Jax."
"Jax huh? Man there's just one thing about him. There's just something that completely creeps me out about him. His eyes, they look as if they were the eyes of death. Man, that's creepy I tell ya."
"Oh yeah! We got the plans! Here we can finally stand a chance in defeating the artificials through these layout plans."
"That's great news to hear! Now we don't have to get our butts handed to each other once we face them again! I'm looking forward into shutting then down once and for all," TK said, "By the way. Are there any other plans of the artificials? Maybe one of Virus?"
"Nope. Negative. Just plans on a refrigerator equipped with a barbeque pit. This is all we need for now. Just as long as we have the plans in our possession, Izzy could possibly analyze these."
"So can we now blast this place?! I'm dying to blowing something up," Faith said.
"Sure! Go for it!" exclaimed Dimitri.
Faith and Angemon both powered up for their next attacks. Angemon wrenches back and blasts away at several computer equipment using his Hand of Fate attack. Faith wielded Excalibur and shoots out several ki-blasts at several test tubes around him. Soon in a matter of moments, the entire bunker lab was being destroyed and many of the computer equipment were being disposed of.
"This is payback! For all of the suffering that you caused upon humans, Datamon!" Dimitri cried out angrily as he watched the bunker lab being destroyed.
The two angels turned to face the super computer that was controlling the test tube with Virus' development chamber and they combined a ki-blast of their own to destroy the super computer.
"Alright! Now go for the chamber!" cried out TK.
Then the two angels turned to face the chamber containing Virus' embryo and easily blasted away the chamber with a combined ki-blast. With the combined blast attack created, it was more than enough to completely destroy the chamber and easily disintegrate the Virus embryo. That was the end of present day Virus and any chances of it breaking free.
"Alright! I say we get the hell out of here," TK said.
"Agreed," replied Dimitri.
The two angels went over to their respective partners and started to fly out through the lab exit door and carried them out as the entire underground bunker was beginning to tumble and break apart. They managed to fly up as quickly as they could through the hatchet door that they went into and found themselves outside of the underground bunker.
"Whew! That was a close one," Dimitri said, "We would have been dead meat down there if we didn't make it out."
"Not for long! Now time for the grand finale!" exclaimed TK.
The two angels held their fists back as they began to power up their next attacks. As they finished powering up, they pushed their fists forward and watched as large ki-blasts came out and blasted away the ground that once covered the hatchet door. A ton of rock and debris came tumbling down and there was nothing left of the former laboratory of Datamon. It was now a fallen ruin with nothing left, not even a sign of the former laboratory. A fallen ruin that was once considered a hideout of one of the most sick-minded digimon ever.
The two angels went flying off away from the fallen laboratory site and started off towards the direction towards Odaiba. Dimitri held onto the artificial layout plans in his hands and then something had just occurred in his mind. Something was obviously bothering Dimitri as he turned to face TK. TK looked back towards the young man.
"Yo, what's up?"
"TK. I need you to do me a favor. Ok?"
"Sure, what do you need me to do?"
"Well. I want you to take these plans and head on over back to Kari's. You can give them to Izzy and I'm sure he can figure them out."
"OK and where are you going?"
"Well. I'm going to find my father. I really need to know if he can really ascend to the next level of fusion. I feel if he can do it, then I can as well. After all, I inherit his traits. So its more likely that I can ascend to the so-called next level of fusion."
"I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but I don't think my brother will let you. He's just too proud of needing any kind of help."
"Yeah but he's going to have to live with it. I'm going to train with him. I do believe that there is a next level to the power of fusion."
"You possibly think that it's possible in any shape or manner."
"Oh yeah. I do believe it. When my father says these kind of things, then I normally believe him because he will do whatever it takes to become the most powerful Digi-Destined."
"Oh I see. So you want me to go? Alright, whatever you say."
"Thanks man. Please watch them carefully."
"No problem."
Dimitri handed the blueprint plans over TK as the young boy took them and told Angemon to fly on over towards Odaiba to meet up with the other Digi-Destined.
"Good luck, Dimitri. You're going to need it."
"Thanks man. Be careful my friend."
"You too."
Faith headed towards another direction in which he would take Dimitri on over towards where Metalla X was located. Angemon headed over to Odaiba in hopes to bringing TK back over to Kari's apartment to show Izzy the blueprint plans of the Jax-model.
"Well, Dimitri. I just hope that you're making a right decision. But if there's anybody that can possibly reach my brother, its you."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Leomon, who already de-evolved back to his champion form, along with Xveemon and Davis were beginning to investigate the area where Virus had completely absorbed the group of girls that were camping out. To their utter shock and horror, there was nothing left. No traces of clothes or anything. However, Xveemon managed to find some footprints and knew that Virus was here.
"Man. This is just awful. He was here and looked like he had a good lunch break here," Davis said.
"He struck them with quickness and prowl ness. We're going to have to move faster than this if we plan on finding him anytime soon," Leomon said.
"You guys. I can sense a dark power over on the other side of the lake," Xveemon said, "And it's got to be him! Virus!"
"Yes because the artificials have no powers. So it's got to be Virus," Leomon replied.
"Well what are we doing here standing around here for? I say we head on over there before he makes a snack out of more innocent people," exclaimed Davis.
Xveemon picks up Davis as he quickly flies ahead and across the lake. Leomon hovered up and quickly flew right after them. They sped up as fast as they could in order to reach for the next small town that was going to be Virus' next food stop.
**************************************************************************************
Within the mysterious small town just miles away from the lake, there was tons of life including a large crowd of people walking across and going about their daily lives. Everything seemed peaceful and quiet, that is for a while at least. That silence would soon disappear as a dark presence was being felt among the local residents.
[Dark, eerie music starts playing in the background]
Just away from a long distance, there was a shadowy figure emerging from the dark forest. He stood where nobody could notice him at first sight. He looked across and felt large quantities of energy all around him. Tons of life forms were here for him to feast upon. Virus has now arrived in the small town and he had quite a satanic look on his face.
Suddenly, a few people came walking by as they were planning on hiking in the forest. But little did they realize that Virus was hiding among the brush. The joggers began to walk through the brush but then they felt their chests being stabbed by some sort of sharp, dagger like spear. Each of them began to scream with blood-curling horror as they felt their bodies being quickly sucked away out of existence. Virus came emerging out of the forest, which got a whole group of more residents running away from their lives. But their lives would soon come to an end at the hands of this hungry monster. He craves nothing but for their energy. They would easily provide him for the energy he needs to ensure his immediate survival.
Many more innocent people started to scream for their lives and attempt to run away from the evil monster. But no matter how much they ran, they weren't able to escape the quickness of Virus. He was able to catch up to victims and lash out his tail to suck them away into his being.
A teenage boy was running across into a dark alleyway. Virus took notice of this and quickly phased out. The boy found himself running across the dark alleyway and was quickly running out of breath. He bent down while trying to catch his breath. He stopped to turn around as he heard a dumpster fall over. He gasped and held his chest while his heart beat rapidly. He was in total fear of what was going to happen to him. Suddenly, there were two pairs of glowing blood-shot red eyes glowing behind him. The boy turned around with fear in his eyes and within the last second, he felt a sharp stab into his chest as he let out a horrifying scream that easily echoed across the entire city. Now he was soon to be absorbed into Virus' being.
**************************************************************************************
Leomon and Xveemon felt the tremendous power increase coming from the nearby town. They boosted up their speed in order to make it to the city in time before Virus drains everybody of their energy.
"Its Virus! He must be absorbing more victims," Xveemon said.
"We better hurry," Leomon replied.
"Yeah, this certainly isn't looking good for our side. If he disappears again, I'm going to pull my freaking hair out!"
As soon as he said that, they made it into town and found it to very empty and quiet, without a single trace of life anywhere.
"Damn! Looks like we're too late," Leomon said, "He must of sensed us coming!"
"We're going to have to get to our destinations a lot faster next time! Man! I just hate looking for things! It totally irritates the hell out of me!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"C'mon guys. We can't let this go on. We have to trace down Virus before he gets himself anymore stronger by taking the lives of these innocent people," Davis said.
"Well, we can always go with plan B. Um, does anyone got a plan B?" asked Xveemon.
From high above a tall building, Virus suppressed his ki-level and looked down at his three adversaries. He could only snicker to himself as the three were looking for him.
"Just look at those fools. I can easily crush them if I wanted to. But, I'll save them for later. I got much more important things to attend to at this very moment. Like absorbing those artificials."
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the three artificials were scouting other parts of Japan in search of Taichi and Agumon. They were getting pretty close to Odaiba but Jax wanted to take as much time as he wanted in finding those two. He doesn't plan on rushing with this mission.
"So are getting pretty close to Taichi, Black War Greymon. I'm getting pretty impatient here," said Sonja.
"He's still in Odaiba and we are getting close. But at this rate, we're not going to get there anytime soon. I should just go and find him myself!"
"Cool down, big guy," Jax said, "We don't want to rush all too quickly and wear yourself out, now don't you? That's a bad move on your part."
"Maybe your right but I'm really looking forward into fighting War Greymon. He is my ultimate challenge that I have been craving for. It intrigues me from within. I need to fight him."
"You will have your chance," Jax said, "But first we find Taichi and then you can have your fun. Deal?"
"Yes…"
"And lets get a move on! Now! The longer we wait, the more time that Taichi recovers and we can't allow for that to happen," Sonja said.
"Even if he does recover, he still poses no threat to us," replied Jax.
With that said, the three artificials flew across and headed off into the distance in which they would head towards Odaiba in search of the Taichi and Agumon. Black War Greymon is seeking for a fight with War Greymon, but would he soon get it? That's a good possibility but only the future can tell.
**************************************************************************************
Virus managed to phase out of sight in the small town and escaped being seen from the two digimon. He escaped into the forest and began to run across at a fast speed to reach far off distances. He was now in search for more energy to keep his ki-level at an even pace. Virus stopped and looked down at a nearby cliff.
"Well. Well. There's more food for my satisfaction. This should be my last stop and then its off to find the artificials. I can't wait to achieve my final form. This world and the Digital World will soon perish under my evil power. Ha. Ha."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Faith was in the air while searching for Metalla X. Dimitri was hell bent on locating his young father and wants to question him on his motive in reaching the so-called next level of fusion status? Was there any way to ascend to the next level to fusion?
But Dimitri is more concerned on how everything has been out of proportion from the day he first arrived in this time period about a year ago.
"I just don't understand it. I thought for sure everything that I predicted would have come true, but I see now that everything has been out of place. Like for instance, when we first saw Virus. Even he knew that everything was out of place. So I'm not the only one who realizes that, but what does Virus know about me? I've never seen him before. But most importantly, I can easily look back on everything that had occurred during this one year period."
Flashback
"It all started with the fight against Burizalor a year ago."
Angemon X shoots out a huge energy beam and sends it hurtling towards the two. However, Lady Myotismon and Burizalor were both able to maneuver out of the way. They both flew up to safety.
"Now I'm going to kill you! I won't go down that eas-" Burizalor cried out.
But as soon as he said that, he turned to see Angemon X with his blade intact. He held out his blade and flew towards Burizalor. The evil tyrant was frozen with fear, as he couldn't even move a muscle. Angemon X swooped down and sliced into Burizalor. Within a matter of moments, Angemon X stood still as everything went into slow motion. Burizalor looked down at his body and watched as his lower part of the body was sliding off. He gasped, as he couldn't even mutter a single word.
Burizalor was sliced in half from the blade of Angemon X. His upper body was cut off from his other half within seconds.
"I was able to defeat him and Lady Myotismon with ease. But I wasn't there to even fight them; I was there to deliver the news to Tai and the others. They had to know what turn of events would occur in their time the following year. I told them of the approaching artificial threat. Once I returned back to this time period, I found out that everything was beginning to slip out of proportion. For example, the artificials that they were facing were much different from the ones that attacked my future world. I thought for sure Sonja and Jax would show up, but instead Funkymon, Ice Ladydevimon and Elfmon were in their place. Plus Tai and Agumon weren't even infected by the D-Virus until during the battle rather than before it. And those two are still alive, which shocked me. Eventually, the real artificials would eventually show up but along with them came a new artificial, Black War Greymon. That's the evil creation of Datamon. How could have I missed him?! What other evil schemes does Datamon even have up his sleeve? Soon, my questions would be answered when we found the pod containing Virus' egg and the monster itself. That creature now seeks to absorb the two most powerful artificials. I just can't imagine how terrible of a monster would be created from such an upgrade. I can't imagine what Virus' true motive really is. But there's one thing that we got to do! We have to stop them before everything is lost! We must save the future!"
End of Flashback
"And now my young father wants to ascend to the next level of fusion! But if there's anybody who can also accomplish that feat, it will be us, Faith. Are you up for it?"
"Ready whenever you are."
"Thank you, my friend. Now lets go find my father."
With that said, Faith boosted his speed and coasted over the landscape in hopes of finding Metalla X and to make sure that Dimitri will fulfill his destiny. Would Dimitri be able to ascend to the next level of fusion, and is it even possible?
***************************************************************************************
A nearby town was barren and there was no signs of life anywhere to be found. It was as if it were now already a ghost town. Its eerie presence was more than enough to creep somebody out. Deep within this small town, there was once a large group of people going about their daily lives and walking around as if it were a normal day. But that was not the case here.
There were not even traces of people within their homes. It was as if they had abandoned their homes in order to escape the evil monster that was on the hunt for them. But that was not the case; there weren't any groups of people making their escape out of town. It was as if they had mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
Broken glass was found along the barren streets and windows had been broken in. This sure wasn't any kind of a robbery that was for sure. Whoever did this knew what they were doing and weren't going to expose themselves anytime soon. Or is a single individual committing these intentional acts.
Those questions would soon be answered, as there were several cries and screams from a nearby building. Loud gunshots were being fired at something that had just intruded in. What they were shooting at was something not human and not weak either. They would have to use more than just firearms to kill whatever they were shooting at. In fact, firearms aren't going to work period. Soon all of these screams would suddenly fade away and there would soon be sudden silence.
More people began screaming but their screams were all put to rest in a matter of moments. Something was happening to these people and only one thing would cause this much chaos. Yes, it was Virus.
Several men stood their ground as they began firing away at the door. They were determined to bring the monster down with their firearms powerful enough to cause severe damage to intruders. These were trained, military officers and they weren't going to back down from the monster.
They all stopped firing and they started to reload their weapons. The smoke started to clear and now there was total silence within the room at this very moment. They all stood their ground and waited for the creature to emerge. But they wouldn't even hear a single footstep. So maybe they were able to take out the monster with their powerful firearms.
One of the soldiers went walking up towards the door but he was slowly walking towards it to avoid making a sound. He grabbed the doorknob and turned it. As he opened it and walked through, he poked his head out through the hallways and to his surprise, there wasn't anything there. But as soon as he turned to face his other comrades, a long, spiked tail came spearing through a glass window and stabbing right through one of the soldier's chest. The soldier screamed out as he watched the spiked tail began to suck away at his body as if it were being sucked through a straw. He soon would be completely sucked right through the tail, which sent fear in the eyes of the other soldiers.
They began firing at the window but that would do them no good. Virus came flying out and he lashed out his tail at another helpless soldier and quickly began to suck him away. The other two soldiers tried to escape but eye beams being fried from Virus shot them down. This took long enough to temporarily paralyze them in order to allow him to finish absorbing his latest victim.
Virus walks over towards the two paralyzed soldiers and proceeded to stab at them with his spiked tail. He then proceeded to absorb them through his tail. Their screams had now faded away and they were now gone from existence and inside Virus in order to help keep his energy supply in stable condition.
"Well that was some snack. But I think I should be taking off from here. Those artificials are going to be so thrilled when they get a good look at me. I've waited so long for this moment."
Right when Virus thought that he had absorbed all of the victims that he could find in the building, he was dead wrong. He didn't realize that a red-haired teenage girl was hiding behind a desk in hopes to hide from the evil monster. But all of her hopes would soon go flying out the window as Virus felt a presence within the room and turned around. An evil smirk came across his face and he walked towards the desk. The girl felt the footsteps approaching and gasped in total fear. Now she was about to witness death approaching.
***************************************************************************************
Angemon flew across the town that Virus is currently at and felt a dark energy. He looked down and this caught TK's attention.
"What's wrong, Angemon?"
"I feel a disturbance down in that town. I say we check it out."
"Right, maybe we actually found Virus! Lets make sure we are able to catch up to him before he gets away."
"Right. Hey, I think I see Xveemon and Leomon!"
"Where?"
Angemon pointed out to where Xveemon and Leomon were flying down into the nearby town. TK could also see Davis and he called out to him. Davis turned to see TK and waved over to him.
"Yo dude! We're glad that you managed to make it! C'mon we need ya!"
"On my way!"
*************************************************************************************
As soon as the teenage girl screamed out with total fear, she quickly ran out of the building in hopes to escape the evil wrath of Virus. But little did she realize that Virus was walking right after her. But he seemed to be taking his time and not rushing in to absorbing her.
As the girl continued on running, she didn't realize that a bump was on the ground and she easily tripped over it. She fell down and saw Virus slowly approaching her. But he began to run towards her with his tail ready to lash out at her. She screamed out, for she knew that her end would soon come. But as the tail was coming closer to stabbing her, she quickly phased out. Virus stopped for a moment and stood his ground.
But as soon as he turned around, he could see Xveemon holding the girl safely in his arms.
"Nicely done, Xveemon!" commented Davis, "You saved a girl for once."
"I guess. You can call me the official ladies' digimon."
"No, that's not what I had in mind."
Virus turned to face Xveemon and a smile formed across his face. He was quite happy to see Xveemon in a way, since he would now have a chance at killing him.
"Ha. It's you, Xveemon. Tell me, how did you know that I was going to be here?"
"I can smell you coming from a mile away and believe me you need to bath!"
"Quite a humorous fellow you really are, Xveemon. But those jokes will lead you down to your demise."
"Thank you. Whoever you are," the girl said as she planted a kiss on Xveemon's cheek. This quite shocked Xveemon as he began to blush. He placed her down on the ground.
"You need to get out of here. I know your cute and all but you and I aren't made to be together. I'm a digimon and you're a human. Plus this thing is going to eat you if you don't get out of here. So please, do us a favor."
"Yes and thank you."
The girl runs off into the distance in order to get away from the battle. Virus laughed hysterically as he got into a fighting stance. Xveemon turned to face him and was ready to attack.
"Let him have it!" Davis cried out.
Virus starts the duel off with a flying charge at Xveemon. Xveemon sees him coming and quickly maneuvers to the side. Virus turns around and lashes out his spiked tail at his adversary. Xveemon managed to jump over the tail and fly right towards Virus. Virus sees him coming and manages to fly up. Virus flies down and this allowed Xveemon the chance to unleash his next attack.
"V-Laser!"
Xveemon unleases an energy beam from his chest and sends it right for Virus. Virus manages to maneuver away from the blast head on and phases out. Xveemon turns around and quickly ducks under a punch being thrown at him. Virus proceeded to throw in a several punches and kicks at Xveemon, but he was able to block out all of Virus' attacks. Virus head butts Xveemon and sends him flying back with a tail lash. Xveemon goes flying back, which allowed Virus to quickly fly right at him and blast him in the stomach with a small beam. Xveemon goes falling to the ground as he was slowly trying to get his feet.
Virus shoots out several ki-blast with rapid speed and something that Xveemon was soon going to have some trouble avoiding. Virus wasn't kidding when he said that he has nearly an unlimited amount of power. He can just end the fight with one of Xveemon's own attacks but Virus has decided to let the fight continue and turn it into his own personal game.
"Please. You aren't even taking me seriously, Xveemon! Your attacks are getting sloppy! It's going to take more than just power to defeat me!"
Virus goes flying right for Xveemon and wrenches back his fist. Xveemon slowly gets to his feet. Davis watches on and has almost seen enough. He grips his D-3 angrily as if he were demanding Xveemon to make his next move and not allow to be defeated by a creature such as Virus.
"Here goes nothing! If this won't work on him, then I don't know what will," Xveemon said to himself.
As soon as Virus was nearing Xveemon with his fist wrenched back, Xveemon took advantage as he formed a ball of energy in his hand. He held his hands forward and released a powerful ray of light that was strong enough to completely blind a person. Xveemon used a bright flash technique which was bright enough to blind Virus for the moment being. Xveemon takes advantage and starts hammering away at Virus. Xveemon wrenches his fist back and nails Virus right in the face. The evil monster's face feels the impact of the fist to his face and quickly goes flying back and tumbling down into the ground.
"Hey! Don't take credit for everything for yourself!" Leomon exclaimed.
"Had enough, Virus?" Angemon asked.
"No. There's nothing at all. I was just getting my second wind. Now that you're all here, I can unleash some of my hidden powers that I wasn't able to exploit during our first encounter. So allow me to demonstrate."
Virus started to a large ball of energy and the digimon were taking notice of this. But now they weren't going to allow Virus to fully tap into his powers. However, the clever Virus had a trick up his sleeve and his energy ball was becoming a ball of flames. Virus pointed forward towards the digimon and chanted out several attacks of the digimon, since he has the powers of the digimon within his being.
"Nova Blast!"
He also used the attacks of Greymon to quickly stun his adversaries for the moment being as he took the chance to fly off into the air.
"Oh no you don't," TK cried out angrily, "Angemon!"
Angemon goes flying right at Virus in order to catch up to him. Virus gasps as Angemon phases right in front of him. Angemon wrenches back and delivers a fist to his gut, which sends the evil artificial flying back.
"No! Its time for you to die, Angemon!"
Virus powers up and crosses his arms together. He was chanting something to himself and then he uncrossed her arms to unleash a wave of furiously, hungry bats out of where. Now he was using Myotismon's Grisly Wing. Angemon watched as the bats approached him and temporarily stunned him for the time being. Virus then delivers a spinning heel kick to Angemon's face.
Virus wrenches back and punches Angemon right in the face, which sends the angel digimon flying back into a nearby cliff. The major impact that Angemon felt was tremendous and he felt major pain erupting throughout his whole body.
"Had enough, Angemon?"
"Fist of the Beast King!"
Virus turned around and managed to maneuver away from Leomon's patented attack just in time before he would get annihilated. Virus looks down and faces off Leomon. A smirk came across his face and Leomon wondered what Virus had up his sleeve.
"A valiant effort, Digi-Destined. But it all was in vain! Your attacks are useless against me. Even at your best, you are unable to beat me. Now, since you rudely interrupted my little lunch break, I might as well skip out and locate my main course. Yes, the two artificials and there's nothing that you can do to stop me."
"Oh yeah! We'll see about that!" Davis exclaimed.
"Ah Daisuke. You're always the firs to jump into conclusions. This is not over yet. But I'll be looking forward in seeing you once I reach my complete form. So until then, ta-ta!"
Virus quickly phases out of nowhere and this catches the digimon by surprise, now he has managed to increase his speed a notch. Xveemon was quite expecting this as he growled angrily and Davis was just as angry.
"Damn! We almost had him!"
"He managed to increase his speed and use some sort of teleportation," Leomon said, "Now we're going to have to move a lot faster than this."
"If we hope to catch him, that's the only problem," Davis said, "Hey what's that in your hand, TY?"
"The blueprint of the Jax-model."
"Your kidding me?! So you and Dimitri managed to find the plans?"
"Yep. Dimitri left to go find Matt and Gabumon. I just hope he knows what he's getting himself into."
"Well for sure, he's looking on achieving to reach to the so-called next level of the fusion power. Metalla X was hell bent on doing it. Dimitri will be no different," Leomon explained.
"So I say we move out and head back to Odaiba."
"Yeah. I'm just sick of Virus disappearing every time we try to catch up to him! I'm getting a little damn tired of this routine," Xveemon griped.
"We almost had him but wait till next time, buddy," said Davis.
"Well we better head off back to Odaiba and meet up with the others there."
They all nodded in agreement as they flew up in order to reach to their next destination, which would be back home to Odaiba where they will return back to meet up with the other Digi-Destined. There they would plan out their next move against Virus and the artificals.
Virus looks up and sees that his adversaries have left the area. Now he was free to roam around in search of the artificials. Now his next move was to find them and absorb Jax and Sonja into his being. But he would also have to be careful and make sure that the Digi-Destined aren't on his tail all the time.
Virus takes advantage of this time and flies off in search of the artificials that he has craved for and will do anything to absorb them into his being in order to complete his full evolution.
**************************************************************************************
December 20, 2004
Back in Odaiba, Ken, Yolei, Davis, TK, Leomon, Cody and the kid's digimon all gathered at the park after listening to more numerous reports of Virus attacking more towns and absorbing more people as the days go by. They wouldn't allow this to go and would take manners into their own hands.
"I've heard enough about this guy! You ready to go, Xveemon," asked Davis.
"After all that waiting and eating, you bet I'm ready!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"Stingmon, we have to keep our eyes out for Virus or the artificials," Ken said.
"Right."
"Well now that everything is settled," TK said, "Lets head out gang!"
They all nodded in agreement as each Digi-Destined got onto their respective digimon and flew off into the air as they began to scope the landscapes in search of any weird and disturbing occurrences.
"I just hope Tai feels alright. It's been several days already," Davis said.
"Don't you worry! He and Agumon are tough guys! They can pull through," Xveemon said.
"You're right. And lets make him proud by taking out that creep and those artificials!"
With that said, the whole group set off on their mission, which was to seek and destroy the artificials and to find Virus before he absorbs anymore people to make himself stronger than ever. But it's been several days and Virus' ki-level could have skyrocketed as a result.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the three artificials continue their search for Tai and Agumon. It's been several days since they last fought the Digi-Destined in the first battle but their mission has not yet been completed. Black War Greymon has been anxiously waiting until he gets his chance at fighting War Greymon as he always planned of doing.
"How long till we get to Odaiba?" Jax asked.
"Not too far. We're getting really close. According to my calculations, Taichi and Agumon are indeed there. It will only be a matter of time until I get my chance at fighting War Greymon. Its what I always been wanting."
"So a fight with War Greymon? I'd pay to see that," Sonja said, "but at this rate, we're not going to get to Odaiba anytime soon. And these trees are just irritating to look at! I'll just blow them away!"
With that said, Sonja holds out her hand and a ball of energy started to form in her hand. She looked down at the forest and threw the energy blast down at the forest below her. Within an instant, the energy blast pushed away the large forest and caused the entire area to be blown away.
"Ahhh. Much better. Now we can clear the land and hope to find a resting spot cause us ladies need our little beauty sleep."
"Yeah whatever. Now that you finished showing off, we can now continue on with our mission," Jax said.
"Ha. Showing off? At least I never hold back on my power unlike you."
"If they continue they're arguing, there will be no way we will make it to Odaiba on time. Taichi, the time has come for your destruction. There shall only be one War Greymon in two worlds, either your War Greymon or myself. Your fate shall be in my hands," Black War Greymon thought to himself as he clenched his fists with his eyes glowing a blood-shot red.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the apartments, Kari and Gatomon were making some soup for both Agumon and Tai. Kari had never made soup before and decided to give it a try.
"I hope my brother likes our soup," Kari said.
"Well, we haven't gotten sick from the soup that's for sure."
"Oh c'mon. I'm not that bad of a cook."
"Well, your still a beginner. Wait till you have kids."
"That will be hell."
"That's for sure!"
Kari picked up the two bowls and walked right over towards the living room where she would feed both her brother and Agumon.
"Boys. It's time for a little soup. What the heck?!"
"What's wrong, Kari?"
"They're gone."
"What?!"
Kari was right as she pointed out towards the two empty beds. Agumon and Tai were just asleep just a while ago and now they're gone.
"Where could they have gone to?" wondered Kari.
"Kari! Gatomon! You two better take a good look at this!" exclaimed Sora.
Kari and Gatomon ran out towards the balcony to see Izzy and Sora pointing out to the skies. Kari looked up and to her surprise she could see War Greymon flying around at full speed and tossing several ki-blasts into the skies.
"Its War Greymon! He's back to full health," Gatomon said, "How cool! The antidote really worked!"
"Hey Kari!"
Kari quickly recognized the voice and she quickly turned around to see her own brother on his two feet. He smiled to her and looked to be better than ever.
"So where's the soup?"
"Tai! You're alright!"
Kari ran over and hugged her brother. Tai returned the hug and was quite happy to see his sister again. He never thought that he would have gotten out of that long sleep.
"Its so good to know that you're better," Sora said.
"Well, that's a good thing. Just be glad that I'm not suffering and about to have a heart attack. So I heard a lot has been going down during my recovery period. Virus huh?"
"You listened to our conversation?" asked Izzy.
"Yeah. I heard everything that TK, Davis and Leomon had told you. And from what I hear, he's pretty tough."
"He is and how do you plan on making your next move against him?" asked Izzy.
"It's quite simple really. Go out and challenge his power. But first, War Greymon and I are going to reach the next level of fusion and ascend to reach that status of power."
"What?! Are you serious?" Sora asked, "But is that remotely possible?!"
"I heard everything from TK about it and it doesn't surprise me. There is a level beyond the power of a normal fusion warrior. And guess what? War Greymon and I are going to rise to claim that power. But first, we're going to have to get our daily warm up exercises and get a bite to eat. Man I'm starving."
"Well we can't let you go on an empty stomach," Kari said, "That's why I made soup."
"Huh? You made soup?"
"Yeah."
"Well that's a first. I just hope I don't get food poisoning after trying it."
"Well, you won't know until you try it," teased Kari.
War Greymon flies down towards Tai as the young boy turns to face him.
"So, when do you want to go and meet up with the others?"
"A little later War Greymon. First lets get something into our stomachs and move on."
"I can feel it. Yes, soon we'll both reach that new level beyond fusion. I'm really looking forward in fighting both Black War Greymon and Virus. I missed out and I don't plan on missing out on anymore of the fights."
"Don't worry, War Greymon. We'll soon be back in action."
"Is he really serious of reaching a new level beyond the power of fusion?"pondered Sora, "Does he even really know what he's getting himself into? Well, then again, Tai always loves the thrill of new challenges. I just hope you're up to this great challenge, because those artificials swatted us aside like flies. Hopefully, you got something up your sleeve."
Does Tai really know what he's getting himself into? Does he even know what kind of a threat the three artificials pose and does he realize that they are out to look for him? Meanwhile, Virus continues his absorbing ways and doing anything he can in looking for Jax and Sonja to complete his evolution?! What will go down eventually?!

[Preview]
Tai: Sora. Agumon and I are going to start our training. If this Virus guy is a bigger threat than those artificials, then I'm going to have to get prepared. Kari. Bring Gatomon with you.
Kari: Why? What's on your mind?
Tai: Kari. We're going train Gatomon to her fullest potential. I think I might have found a possible way to defeating Virus.
Sora: I just hope you know what you're doing.
Tai: Trust me. I'm also going to ask Matt and Dimitri to come along.
Matt: You want me to what? So, it's a special training room?
Tai: X had this arranged for emergencies. He's told me about it and said it would be the perfect time to use it.
Dimitri: I like your thinking, Tai. In all honesty, you'd be the last person to come up with a brilliant plan.
Tai: Yeah! No kidding, huh?
Jax: Hello, is Tai there?
Leomon: Damn! The artificials have arrived!
Jax: So, you want to defend Tai from execution? Very well then, Leomon. You brought this on yourself. We never wanted to kill you, but it looks like I have no choice.

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Azulongmon's Room of Time! The Two Decisive Powers Collide: Cyberleomon vs. Artificial Jax
The scene starts off with somebody getting their stuff together in a backpack. It is Tai and it looks like he is packing up for something, as if he were about to take a vacation but there was no time for a vacation at a crisis such as this. But Tai wasn't going on a vacation. He is getting himself prepared and for what, only he knows. Sora comes barging into his room and watches him.
"What are you doing, Tai? Don't you think this is a really bad time for taking a hike?"
"Sora? You're joking right? Don't you even realize what I'm doing?"
"No, but you look like your about to get the heck out of here and take some sort of vacation."
"Ah c'mon. You know that the leader of the Digi-Destined runs away from the fight. You know better."
"Well you've been acting very suspicious lately. And I want to know what the deal is."
"Deal? There is no deal? Ha. Ha. Sora you're a joker. Man, you just need to lighten up."
"I will if you only told me what your doing."
"Ah there's no time to explain. I really got to run."
Sora stepped into Tai's way and blocked the doorway. Tai tried to squeeze through but Sora stood her ground with a stern look on her face. Tai sighed and put his backpack down.
"Now tell me what's up?"
"Well you see, I think it's now time to start my training with Agumon. We really need to break out of the rust and get the groove back, so to speak. Well, if you don't understand that, then the bottom line is that we are going to go train and get stronger so we can fight those artificials and stop Virus? Is that all I had to really say?"
"Well. If you're going, you're going to need this."
Sora holds out a pair of goggles. Tai looked down at them and a smile formed across his face. Sora smiled and placed them onto Tai's hand. This made Tai feel even better to know that Sora has all the confidence for him.
"Now, you be careful and you guys train as hard as you can. You always said that the goggles are always your good luck charm."
"Thanks Sora."
"Don't mention it. Hmmm."
Agumon comes running and in between the two. Tai and Sora go falling down as Agumon turned to face them. He looked a bit worn out after running around to get several things together for himself.
"You got everything that you need, buddy?"
"Sure, Tai. Not to mention all those snacks and everything. A digimon can't go on a training session without a little chow."
"Tai! Wait for me," Kari cried out.
Tai turned to face Kari, who also had her things together. Gatomon stood by her partner's side, as she looked ready for a training session of her own.
"We're ready to go whenever you are."
"Kari, this is too dangerous for you."
Tai, c'mon. I think I know how to take care of myself. I've become much more responsible during your absence. I need this chance. Gatomon and I have been waiting for this very day. We want to reach the level of fusion status and if its possible, we want to reach that ascended level. Please, Tai…"
Tai stood there thinking and looked down at his younger sister. He could remember how he always took care of Kari throughout his whole childhood. That is until they became Digi-Destined. They were chosen children sent out to protect two worlds. Tai has watched Kari mature from a scared, little girl to much more confident and reliable asset to a rather important group. Kari has indeed proven herself as an equal to her own brother.
"Well, you know what? Yes, I think its only right for you to come. You've proven a lot to me during these past few years. But that's no surprise, you're my sister and a strong-hearted Kamiya. It runs in the family."
"Thanks Tai."
"Well, now that is all settled, are you going to be heading out now?" asked Sora.
"Yeah. I think its only right that we go. Now telling when those artificials will arrive. So, are you ready to go, Kari?"
"Yeah."
"Wait hold on. Don't you think we should tell the others about this? Because we don't want them to know that you walked out," Gatomon said, "Besides they might be off looking for those artificials."
"Then I say we surprise them. What do you say," Tai asked to Kari.
"Sure."
"Alright then. Sora, we're heading out. Make sure you let Izzy know. Ok?"
"No problem. But, one question."
"Yeah?"
"You think that it's even possible to reach to the ascended fusion level? I mean after all, its never been done before."
"I don't know. But it doesn't hurt to try. There are always great challenges to come in your life and this is one of them. I think I really need to prove to myself that I truly am capable of leading the Digi-Destined. And I think this will teach Kari a lesson or two of how to be a responsible leader much like myself. So, yeah we're doing this, whether it kills us or not."
"You two just be careful and I hope you know what you're getting yourselves into."
"Don't worry about us. We'll handle this," Kari said.
Sora nodded in agreement as she watched her two friends and their digimon walk out. She had hoped to see them again but then again, she wasn't going to stop them from fulfilling a destiny.
"Good luck, guys."
Tai looked over to Agumon as if he gave him a signal to digivolve. Kari did the same to Gatomon. The two digimon were now set to digivolve.
"Agumon!"
"Gatomon!"
"Evolve now!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Agumon was the first to respond as Tai's digivice and crest of courage powers began to power up to help the little dinosaur to digivolve into his highest level of digivolution.
"Agumon warp shinka!"
Agumon went through his champion and ultimate level stages as he finally reached his mega level, War Greymon.
"War Greymon!"
"Gatomon chou shinka!"
Gatomon's body transforms to that of a woman's body and a pair of wings came out of her back. Beautiful, blonde hair formed on her head and there stood a goddess-like figure in place of the once adorable Gatomon.
"Angewomon!"
Tai and Kari hopped onto their digimon as they headed off to follow up to the other Digi-Destined, who were on a mission in locating Virus.
"You think you can pick up their energy levels, War Greymon?"
"I think can try, Tai. Lets see here. Yes they were heading from this direction."
"Great, then get us over there as soon as possible."
"Right. Just hang on tight."
"Angewomon, you too!"
War Greymon and Angewomon boosted up their speed, which got them to fly across the landscape in hopes of reaching up towards the other Digi-Destined on time.
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the other Digi-Destined were still on their search for Virus. They have become quite impatient and were about to give up, however, Davis would not allow that.
"C'mon guys. We can't give up yet. We need to find Virus now before he kills anymore innocent people."
"He's right. If we give up, we lose and Virus wins," Xveemon said, "So are you guys still with us?"
"Look Davis, we know that you don't want to give this up but there's no way that we are going to find this creep if he keeps hiding. Now I don't know about you but I hate this search mission. I should be at home getting some beauty sleep!" Yolei complained.
"And no telling where Virus could strike next. He's too unpredictable," Cody remarked.
"C'mon guys. Are you just going to throw in the towel already? We're supposed to be the freaking Digi-Destined here, not a bunch of wussies," Davis angrily said.
"He's right guys and I'm standing by his decision," Ken said.
"You can sure count me in," Leomon replied.
"So what about you guys?" asked Stingmon.
The others all looked towards each other until two voices cried out from behind them. They all turned to see Kari and Angewomon.
"Hey its Kari!" Yolei cried out.
"Kari! We're glad that you managed to come," TK said.
"And I'm not alone," Kari replied.
They all turned and shocked looks came on their faces on, which they were seeing before them. Tai and War Greymon flew by.
"Hey! Its Tai!" Davis exclaimed.
"And War Greymon! About time you two managed to come out of naptime," Xveemon said.
"Well you've got to hand it to them, they managed to survive a life-threatening virus," Cody said.
"No kidding but I'm glad that we're alright. That antidote sure did the trick," Tai said.
"I feel like a million dollars," War Greymon, "My power and strength has been restored and all thanks to a simple little medicine, who knew?"
"Ha. Well, we're glad that you managed to take the time to help us out," Davis said.
"Actually we're here to tell ya'll that Kari and myself are heading into the Digital World to visit the four digimon guardians. I believe that they have a training dimension where we can get a full years of training in just one day."
"Whoa! One year of training done in a day? Is that even remotely possible?" asked TK.
"Yeah. I heard Azulongmon telling Agumon and me all about it. Only few warriors have managed to survive it. But I know deep down in my heart that War Greymon and myself are capable of handling the challenge."
"Wow. A year of training in a day and are we able to come?" asked Davis.
"Sorry, but you guys have a tough mission ahead of you. You got to track down Virus as soon as possible. I really wish I could help but I really want to get this over with. And I don't think War Greymon isn't in any kind of mood for waiting."
"Aww, well. Just let us know how it turns out."
"We will. And we're going to go find Dimitri and Matt along the way. I believe when Matt said that there was a way to ascend to next level of fusion, and then he is capable of doing it with Gabumon. But since Agumon is also able to fuse with me, its possible that we can reach that ascension. Like they say, it never hurts to try."
"Yeah. TK, I want you to take care of yourself for me, ok? And don't worry about me, I got my brother to watch over me," Kari said.
"Yes. I understand. You go on ahead. Don't worry, we'll find Virus and make sure that you won't even have to face him."
"Thanks."
War Greymon flies over towards Leomon and began to sense his ki. Leomon curiously looked towards him as if he were going to question him.
"So you must have received some of Azulongmon's power to reach to a new form, right?"
"Yes. Now I am able to reach my mega level. I now have two."
"Saberleomon and…"
"Cyberleomon, but even with my upgraded power, I was unable to defeat Virus."
"Hey don't you sweat it. Tai and I will make sure that he pays for his crimes when we get done with our training."
"So do you agree that we should take Dimitri and Matt along?" asked Tai.
"Yes. That way we have a better chance at beating Virus and the artificials. But you must hurry, because the more time we wait, the more time we allow Virus to absorb and kill more innocent people. And we must hurry before he can even absorb the Jax and Sonja models into his being in order to reach his final, complete form."
"Don't you worry! He won't reach his final form and I'll see to that," Tai said.
"So are we ready Tai?"
"Yeah. We don't have too much time left. So lets all be heading out. Ready Kari?"
"You bet!"
"Lets go!"
War Greymon and Angewomon once again boosted up their speed in order to departure from the scene and head out to find Dimitri and Matt along the way. Their plan to reach the next level of fusion was now underway but time was of essence as far as stopping Virus is concerned.
***************************************************************************************
Dimitri stood alongside a side canyon ledge with Faith at his side. They looked across to see Matt and Gabumon standing on an edge of a cliff. Matt looked out towards the sun and began to picture every turn of event that had just occurred during the past three days.
Faith looked up to feel two powerful ki-levels heading their way. Dimitri stood up and looked to see whom it was. Was it the artificials? No because they have no ki-levels to sense from. A smile formed across Dimitri's face when he saw War Greymon and Angewomon coming down.
"Kari! Tai!"
"Hey Dimitri! Its good to see you again," Tai said.
"So the antidote managed to work?"
"Yeah thanks to you, now we're back to being one hundred percent again and ready to kick some artificial tail."
"Great, so where are you two heading to?"
"We're heading off back into the Digital World. We're going to train for a whole year but it is a dimension where it can be done in a day."
"A year of training in a whole day? Wow, that's unheard of."
"Yeah. Azulongmon said that he heard legends of a room that was capable of that feat from another dimensional world that he is unaware of."
"Hmmm. Interesting. So you want me to come too?"
"Yeah. Well, at least you and Matt," Kari said.
"I don't think that's possible. Just look at him. He's been standing there on that cliff for almost three days without almost any food or water."
"Man, he must be dying of a another shot at those artificials. Well, maybe I can persuade him," Tai said.
The young boy walks over towards Matt in order to ask him. Matt turned to face him with a frown on his face.
"Geez, you woke up on the wrong side of the morning."
"Taichi, leave me alone."
"Aw c'mon dude. We're on the same page, remember?"
"So what do you want?"
"You want another shot at those artificials now, do you?"
"You damn right. Gabumon and I are dying for a rematch!"
"Then come with us. We'll take you to a dimensional vortex room where you can get a full years of training in one day."
"Hmmm. There's a full years of training in a whole day? Gabumon and I can accomplish a lot more over a period of twelve months."
"Yeah. So here's what I was thinking. I think you and Dimitri along with your digimon can go into the room together. Then Kari and I shall take a turn."
"Hmmm. This better not be another one of your tricks, Tai."
"Dude, would I never lie?"
"Well, you managed to get my curiosity back. But under one condition, Dimitri and I will enter first. You got that?"
"Sure. But you know, this is a good way to get a better father and son relationship going."
"Very funny."
"Yo! Dimitri, you ever notice Matt always like that?" asked Kari.
"Yep. He's like this all the time. But he's quite a humorous guy when he needs to be."
"Well, he's just upset that his band didn't get much success."
"I see. Well, maybe I can help win his fans back."
"Really?'
"Yeah, its a synch."
"Ha. I'd like to see that happen."
The two young boys continue to face each other off while Kari and Dimitri look on as they waited for them to finish their conversation. Now they were prepared to make their next move and venture out to head to the Digital World and start the training as soon as possible but they would have to let Azulongmon know first ahead of time.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the three artificials began to search through the local park in Odaiba. Yes, they were getting loser towards the location of Taichi but they had no idea that he already left with Kari. Jax and Sonja looked across in order to get any glimpses of Taichi, but there were no signs of him.
According to their calculations, they knew that Taci comes to this park to play soccer with his friends, but today nothing. Black War Greymon turned away from the park and faced the other two artificials.
"So anything yet?" asked Jax.
"Taichi is not in Odaiba," Black War Greymon replied.
"He's not?! Where the hell could he be?" Jax asked impatiently, "Where was the last time he was located? Can you pick it up through your sensors?"
"Yes. I will try."
Black War Greymon began to analyze the city and picked up a reading from the apartments.
"Well?"
"He was last seen in the local apartments just an hour ago."
"Ok, then. He'll just have to come right back sooner of later. So I say we come back here tomorrow and we'll get him from there," Sonja said.
"Not a bad plan. I need a little rest in order to get into the right frame of mind," Jax said, "So you think you can handle one more day of waiting?"
"I'm actually looking forward. I really don't care when I get my chance to fight War Greymon just as long as I do get a shot at him."
"Deal. Well then, lets get going," Jax said as he flew up.
Sonja and Black War Greymon soon followed him as they flew out of the city limits in order to get some rest until the big confrontation tomorrow morning. It was only a matter of time for the artificials to get their hands on Taichi and fulfill their mission. Black War Greymon looks forward to fighting War Greymon and plans to fight with the best of his ability.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Virus is found in a dark room as he chased after several innocent people. They ran inside a room of mirrors in order to escape from the evil monster. But that would soon prove useless as Virus decided to use the mirrors to his advantage.
Every time the people looked around them, they could see nothing but Virus on all of the mirrors. They didn't know which one was the real monster himself. The crowd decided to take another way out through another hall of mirrors and they found themselves stopping at a dead end. As they all turned around, they couldn't see anybody sneaking up behind them. Not even a sign of Virus anywhere.
But as soon as they turned around, Virus appeared in front of them and attacked them using his spiked tail to absorb them. Blood-curling screams were heard throughout the room and it sent echoes throughout the whole hall of mirrors. But even screaming will not be able to save from being absorbed by Virus.
Outside the hall of mirrors, the other Digi-Destined found themselves investigating a local amusement park. To their surprise, there wasn't a single trace of life anywhere. No people were even left. Virus had already beaten the Digi-Destined to the location and taken all of the energy that he needed.
"Damn! We're too late!" Davis growled angrily.
"These people did not deserve this kind of fate," Ken said.
"If only we could have been here much earlier," Leomon replied, "Then Virus wouldn't have had anything to absorb!"
"That Virus is getting out of hand! He's killing more innocent people by the hour," Cody said.
"Virus! We're not going to give it up! We won't let you outsmart us again!" TK cried out.
But watching them from above a platform was none other than Virus himself. He looked down chuckling to himself and could only laugh at the so-called incompetence of the Digi-Destined.
"Just look at them! Ha! I could absorb them, but I'll think I'll pass on that! The artificials are much more important to me than them. Just you wait, Digi-Destined, it will only be a matter of time."
With that said, Virus suppresses his ki and flies off into the skies in order to keep himself from being seen by anybody. Now he would gather some more energy from helpless victims and then proceed on to find the artificials to complete his transformation.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Azulongmon led Matt, Dimitri, Tai and Kari into a long passageway inside a dimension much more parallel than to that of the real world and the Digital World. This was the hallway leading to them room of time.
"Now, I must warn you that only the most noblest of warriors has ever entered the room and survived the tell about it. But you are more than just warriors, you are Digi-Destined who have protected our world many times to establish yourselves as great assets. You are more than worthy in entering this room. Now you realize that one-year in this room is one day in the outside world. I created this room after learning of another dimensional world containing a room much similar to this."
"What other dimensional world?" Faith asked.
"That I can't speak of, but X knows about it. He has watched as a group of skilled warriors enter the time chamber and emerge as earth's greatest champions," the Holy Beast replied.
"So, this is another one of X's wacky training tools?" Dimitri asked.
"Yes, it is. You won't be disappointed after you receive the results. Tai and Agumon have entered this time chamber before."
"When did they use this room?" Kari asked.
"They used it during the three years after defeating Burizalor," Azulongmon replied. "That is one of the reasons Tai chose to remain in the digital world. He only managed to spend half a year in there."
"Heh. We're slackers," Tai muttered.
"Wow. So that's it?" asked Gatomon.
"Yes, quite a decorative outside door, isn't it? Now it is time, who will enter first?"
"We will," Dimitri said, Matt and I will."
"Alright. Now only four must enter the room. So it's you, Matt, Gabumon and Faith. I hope your ready for what your about to be prepared for. And one more thing, you can only enter this chamber twice. After you have entered a second time and you are not out of there on the second day, then you will be trapped in it forever."
"We're ready," Gabumon said, "I just hope there's more than enough food in there to please my appetite."
"Oh trust me. You have plenty of it," Azulongmon replied.
"Ok, I want this to make this clear. This is not a vacation. This is work," Matt said to Dimitri.
"Alright then. Get ready."
Azulongmon motioned towards Gennai as he walked over towards the door and opened it. Matt noticed Gennai and gasped.
"You're Gennai? But I thought you were…"
"Dead? Well I was reformatted after losing my data. I'm back to being my young self again. Not to shabby, don't you think?"
"Yeah, not bad, for an old man."
"Just don't stress yourself out in the chamber or you really could become an old man," Gennai remarked.
"Ha, hell no. C'mon, Dimitri. Its time."
The two Digi-Destined entered the room along with Gabumon and Faith. As they entered, they could see only a white, empty room with barely any outside light and air conditioning. It felt pretty hot for a moment and then it became freezing cold the next minute.
"So this is the room of time," Dimitri said, "Now I get the chance to know how it feels to even last one year in here."
"Well get used to it," Matt replied, "We're going to be training our digimon in here for a full year. Plenty of time for hard work and I don't want you to slow us down."
"I don't plan to."
"Good. So lets survey the area and know our environment."
"Lets just hope you are going to take this full year of training seriously though," Dimitri said to himself.
Dimitri walked across and found himself in an empty space with no surroundings. He felt as though that he were trapped inside a box without any way out. He felt shivers down his spine and fell to his knees. Faith fell over to him and was getting worried of his partner.
"Dimitri. What's wrong?"
"The environment in here is much different from that of the Digital World or the real world. I don't think I could even last one day in here."
"But we have to. We have to get the training out of the way, Dimitri. Plus, don't you want to ascend to the next level like you said?" asked Faith, "I'm actually looking forward to it."
"Well to make us happier, then I say we suck it up. You think that you're up for this?" asked Dimitri.
"You bet! I won't hold you back!"
"Good. So lets begin."
Dimitri turned around to see Matt standing there with a smile on his face. Dimitri nodded to them and walked over to him in order to let him know that he is now officially ready to train his digimon in order to reach to the next level of fusion.
"I plan on reaching the ascended fusion level along with you, young father,"Dimitri thought. "Mark my words. I will become you're equal."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the Digi-Destined all gathered into a group as they were planning out to make their next move. They have already become out of breathe and quite impatient for looking for Virus.
"There's no way that we're going to find him now," replied Cody.
"Yeah, especially if he is able to hide his ki," Yolei said, "I'm telling you, he's not stupid. He will know when we are approaching."
"So I say we take a break for today. Then maybe, we'll have even better luck tomorrow," Davis replied.
"Yeah. I'm starting to fall asleep here," Xveemon said.
"But we must find him before he is able to find the other artificials and reach his final form," Ken said.
"Just you wait, Virus. I'm not through with you yet,"Leomon thought. "If it's the last thing I do, I'll be the one that stops you from absorbing those artificials. Taichi, I just hope that you and War Greymon will be able to ascend to the next level of fusion, because we're going to need it to defeat Virus."
**************************************************************************************
December 21, 2004
Back in Odaiba, the sun began to rise to start a new day, and the Digi-Destined were all taking a nap in Tai's apartment home. Fortunately, the Kamiya parents were told to go out of town for various reasons and this was a reasonable excuse.
On the floor, the whole Digi-Destined gang, with the exceptions of Tai, Kari, Matt and Dimitri, were asleep on the floor. However, there was one individual still awake and is anticipating for the arrival of Virus at any given moment. That individual was Leomon.
Leomon had his eyes locked onto the television while watching the news, in order to get up to date for the Virus situation.
"The monster has been stopped yet again in the city of Nakano and he has left nothing of the whole city. Every single trace of people has disappeared as a result of the monster's invasion. We advise you to stay indoors, in hopes for this situation to get under control."
"You just won't stop, Virus! Damn you!"
Suddenly, there was a dark power making its presence felt outside the apartment complex. It wasn't Virus this time, because these dark powers contained no source of ki.
Leomon took notice of this and turns his attention to the window. He steps outside and what he saw caught him by surprise. He looked down to see all three artificials looking up at him. Jax, Sonja and Black War Greymon were all lined up and waiting.
"Hey! Can Taichi come out and play now?" Jax taunted.
"Hmmm. Taichi is not here," replied Black War Greymon.
"He's not?! Damn! He's still not back yet?! Well then, Leomon, I guess you have no choice but to tell us where he is located, right?"
"No! Why don't you look for him yourself! If you want answers, you're going to have to fight me first!"
"Well, as much as I want to beat the living crap out of you, I have no time for weaklings such as yourself. But if you want to do this the hard way, we can," Jax said.
Just then, Davis and Veemon came walking out. They were barely just waking up.
"Yo, Leomon. What's going?" asked Davis.
"Davis! Get the others up now!"
"Ah! The artificials! You guys! Rise and shine! We got a situation here!" Veemon cried out.
This easily catches the attention of the other Digi-Destined as they all woken up from their sleeps. TK, Ken, Yolei, Sora, Mimi, Michael, Cody, Izzy and Joe all gasped at the sight of the artificials. Their digimon were ready for another round with the artificials.
"Alright guys! Digivolve on our count!" Sora said.
"You guys stay put! This is my fight," Leomon said, "You all remain here."
"So you want us to yourself?" asked Jax, "Very well then. But I won't go easy on you like the last time that we fought. Now you will tell us Taichi's location!"
"Never! Those islands over at the distance and away from Odaiba! We'll settle it there"
"Very well then. Lead the way."
"Remember, you guys better stay put. I can handle this," Leomon said as he flies up.
The artificials begin to follow Leomon out and towards the skies, in which he would lead them away from Odaiba and keep the fight away from the city and to avoid causing destruction to more innocent people.
Leomon flies down to the nearest island that was very far from the Odaiba mainland. The artificials fly down to meet Leomon down. Leomon looked at the environment around him and turned towards the artificials. Sonja sat down as if she were going to observe the battle. Black War Greymon simply stood motionless and uttering a single word. This made Leomon even more suspicious as he turned his focus over towards Jax.
"No, I'm going to ask you this last time. Where is Taichi? If you don't tell me, then I'll really kill you."
A smile formed across the face of Leomon as he powered up. Jax felt his ki increase and gasped for a moment.
"Lets get it on. You and me, one on one! And keep your friends out of this, this is just you and me."
"Don't worry. They're just spectators. This only involves you and me."
"Good. Then I have a better chance at beating them and destroying them before Virus has a chance to absorb them to reach his final form. I just need to finish this quick or else Virus will find us."
"So, shall we get started then?" Jax asked.
[Disturbed "Fear" plays]
"Leomon warp shinka!"
Jax gasped and felt Leomon's ki-level increase tremendously and witnessed Leomon digivolve into his second mega form, Cyberleomon.
"Cyberleomon!"
The artificials looked on with surprised looks on their faces. Jax just stood there and got into a fighting position.
"Lets get this over with."
Cyberleomon crack his knuckles and gets into a fighting position of his own as he prepares to duke it out with Jax in a rematch.
Cyberleomon and Jax were facing off with one another and giving each other some rather cold looks before they would have the opportunity to beat the living hell out of each other.
Jax clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles. He looks over towards Cyberleomon and a smile formed across his face. Cyberleomon smiled right back at him.
"So I see you're actually going to go through with this after all. Well, don't go crying when I beat the living hell out of you. Comprende?"
"Of course. I've been looking forward to this."
"So, are you ready to get humiliated again, Leomon?"
"That won't happen again. I think it's going to be the other way around."
"Ha. So be it. Lets see what you're actually made of then."
Cyberleomon gets into a fighting stance and pulls out his sword. Jax steps back and balls his fists up fiercely. Cyberleomon charges in at Jax to make his first move, but Jax came right at him with his fists wrenched back.
"Give me your best shot, Leomon!"
"With pleasure!"
With that said, Cyberleomon quickly phased out, which left Jax in total disbelief. He couldn't believe that Leomon managed to phase out so quickly just as he did. Jax looked around and he was getting a bit nervous.
"He's gotten faster since the last time that I fought him. I wonder how he got this fast."
Suddenly, something was coming up right behind Jax as if a gust of wind was passing by. But as soon as Jax turned around, he saw Cyberleomon throwing him a mighty punch but Jax was there to block it just in time. Cyberleomon threw in several punches, which Jax was able to block out with ease. However, Cyberleomon leapt and attacked him head-on.
"Wow, you're a lot faster than I give credit for!"
"You still haven't seen the best of my abilities."
"You may have digivolved into your mega form, but you still won't be able to catch up to him! Think fast!"
Jax takes advantage as he rams his fist into the face of Cyberleomon. The punch connected and it made Cyberleomon's head snap backwards. Jax stood there with a smile on his face but then his face showed signs of worry as he saw Cyberleomon looking back down at him.
"How is that possible?"
Cyberleomon wrenches back and delivers a fist to the face of his own. This heavy punch managed to send Jax flying back into the ground. Jax managed to flip up onto his feet and he was shocked when he couldn't find the newly digivolved Cyberleomon. He had managed to phase out yet again. But this time, Jax was going to keep his eyes out for Cyberleomon and not let his guard down.
The ground around them was starting to shake as a result of the heavy punches and attacks being delivered by both fighters. They weren't going to give in just yet and weren't planning on giving up now. Flashes of light were distancing away from each other and colliding with one another, which was a clear indication that the two fighters were going so fast that not even the naked eye was able to keep up with their tremendous speed.
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined's digimon were picking up the two super powers and were shocked to realize how powerful and fast the two fighters really were.
"Man! Can you believe it! Leomon is a lot faster than I thought! I can't even detect his movements," Veemon said.
"Whoa, he must be the most powerful warrior on two worlds now!" replied Davis.
"Its not over until its over. We can't say for sure otherwise," Ken said.
"Well so far, Leomon seems to be getting the upper hand over that artificial," said Hawkmon, "That artificial has yet to make a strong offense."
"Well, he better not let him get any kind of offense on his side," Yolei said, "We have to win this fight, if we want to make sure that Virus doesn't have any artificials to absorb."
"I hate having to sit out here and not be part of the action," Davis said, "If this fight drags on longer than we want it to, then I'm going to over there and none of ya'll are going to stop me! So, Veemon, you ready for a little fight?"
"I'm ready, just give me the signal!"
"No, Leomon has made it perfectly clear that we must stay here, no matter what happens," Sora replied.
"Well, I'm sorry. I'm just not going to let those artificials gang up on him otherwise," Davis said.
"I wonder how Kari and Tai are faring with their training right about now. Its almost been a full day," Cody said as he was thinking of the other Digi-Destined.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the inner-training dimension, Kari and Tai were patiently sitting alongside a platform, in hopes for Matt and Dimitri to finish their digimon training. It was almost a full day since they entered the room but it seemed as though that it was almost a day and a half, which wasn't going to favor the others.
Kari looked over towards Tai, who was just about out as he quickly fell asleep. She sighed and looked over towards Gatomon.
"How long has it been?" asked Kari.
"Well, it's been a full day. Why ask?"
"Well it's almost been a day and a half. Matt and Dimitri have been in that room for quite a while. Time is just about running out and we have no idea of when Virus could instantly show up and absorb those artificials. I have a bad feeling about this."
"You know just because things are soon going to be looking bad, doesn't mean we have to give up," Agumon said, "I don't know about you but we should just not think about those kind of things. I know Tai would want you and Gatomon to become focused for the training."
"So, tell me Agumon. How is the training like?" asked Gatomon.
"Its really difficult, perhaps the hardest thing that I ever had to complete, but I was actually able to survive one full year in the room. Ok, maybe the food in there was a little bland, but it was worth it. As you can see, I've come back stronger and faster than ever. Not to mention a little hungrier."
"Ha. No arguments there," Kari said.
"But you know he's right," Gennai said, "Once you get used to it, it will actually become a major help for your powers. Gatomon, you're able to evolve into your mega level but you have not yet reached full potential in order to reach that level of status. However, through this training, it's more than likely that you not only will reach your mega level but also that of your fusion level. You and Kari could eventually fuse into a powerful being much like..."
"Omega X…"
"Yes or even more powerful. You will just have to see the results of the training for yourself."
"I can't wait!"
"C'mon, Matt. You guys better hurry up. There's not much time left. I wish I could have a bowl of rice or something. I'm dying over here," Tai thought.
****************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon nails Jax with a right hand and sends him flying back Jax lands on his feet and his eyes go widen for a moment.
"How did you get this strong? There's no way, you could give me this much difficulty."
"Ha. Allow me to demonstrate my secret power."
Cyberleomon clenches his fists and lets out a bloody roar as his body started to shake and a large aura of light formed all around him. The ground on which he was standing on was starting to shake as a result. The other artificials were shocked to see how much power that Leomon was releasing less than one power up.
Black War Greymon picked up Leomon's new ki-level and was quite calm for a moment until his sensors starting going off.
"Jax! That's not Leomon! Jax, its not even Leomon!"
"What?! How can that be possible! I am sure this is Leomon! This is just his evolved state."
"Yes but he seems much different. His power has risen from the last time we fought him."
"Heh. Well no duh! He's already evolved and there's no way he could have achieved this much power in such a short amount of time. No way possible!"
With that said, Cyberleomon flies right at Jax and goes to punch him, but Jax gets into a position as he prepares to twist to the side but Cyberleomon quickly phases out. This quickly caught Jax by surprise as he felt a powerful energy coming up from behind him. Jax's eyes widened as he turned around.
Cyberleomon wrenches back and nails a direct hit into the face of Jax. The artificial felt the impact head on and goes flying back into the ground. Jax had never felt so much power being delivered from one single punch and was starting to worry.
"No! He's stronger and faster than me! How is this possible?! There's no way that he could have achieved this much power over such a short amount of time! I didn't even see him training or anything. What's his secret?!"
Cyberleomon comes up from behind Jax and goes for a spinning wheel kick but Jax ducks under and rolls to the side. Jax quickly phases out and reappears right behind Cyberleomon.
"Come on! Give me your best shot!"
Cyberleomon held out his hands and started to power up. Jax watched on as Cyberleomon formed a ball of energy in his hands. Soon after powering up, the energy ball got several times bigger and was even bigger than his whole body. Cyberleomon points it towards Jax and lets out a roar.
"Incredible power! What's he planning on doing with that energy ball?! He knows that he won't be able to hit me!"
"Beast King Shadow!"
Cyberleomon releases a black ball of energy and closes his hands together and made the energy ball bigger and more powerful. Jax watched as the energy ball came hurtling towards him. Then he tried to phase out but he didn't have enough time, so he went and crossed his arms into a blocking position. Cyberleomon closed his hands again and made the energy ball fly right at Jax in order to nail him.
This time, the energy ball was able to nail Jax and explode right in his face. The artificial watched as the energy ball imploded right in front of him. As a result, there was a large explosion and it took off a huge chunk of land away. Cyberleomon stood there as he was still attempting to catch his breathe.
"Wow, he's gotten a lot better since the last time we creamed him," Sonja said. "I wonder how he achieved this much power in just three short days."
Black War Greymon observed Cyberleomon and was reading his ki-level. He looks over towards the cloud of smoke and attempted to pick up the presence of Jax and to see if he were still alive.
Cyberleomon kept his eye out throughout his surroundings and looked to see if Jax was able to survive the devastating blast. And as soon as the smoke cleared, there was a figure hovering up in the air. Cyberleomon looked up to see who it was and not so surprisingly, it was Jax.
Jax looked down at Cyberleomon with several scratches on him but Cyberleomon kept a straight smile despite what had just happened.
"Nice shot, Leomon! Your stronger than I first give you credit for! But don't let all of that power go to your head! I'm still one step ahead of you as far as power goes!"
Cyberleomon stood there with a smirk on his face and preparing for his next attack on Jax. It was obvious that he wasn't going to give up just yet.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the apartment complex, Izzy was still looking over the blueprints and analyzing the structure of the artificial body. He was quite fascinated at how they were created and operated. He was hard at work, trying to create a device that would de-activate the artificials, somehow and someway.
"Wow, check this out, Tentomon."
"Did you get a new screensaver?"
"Even better. Look at the structure of the artificial's. They are much similar to a normal human's, with the exception of the organs. There are no signs of any organ in their structure. That's very obvious, because they aren't even living humans. But I wonder, if these things can even think like a normal human. Can they make choices of their own since they already destroyed Datamon? Yet they are so hell bent on assassinating Tai. Man, Datamon really used some advanced technology to create these things. Even my laptop is more out of date than these things."
"Well with that device that you have been babbling about, maybe we can use it to deactivate them and enable us to make sure that Virus doesn't have anything to absorb."
"Good thinking, Izzy," Mimi replied, But can I make a suggestion? How about we just get darn device working already so that we won't have to worry about Virus absorbing anything!"
"It won't be easy but I'll do what I can," Izzy replied.
"Well, waiting around isn't going to do Leomon any favors, he's out there and risking his life," Davis said.
"You guys convinced me enough," Izzy said as he began to go to work on building the device through the digital network that he uploaded on his computer.
With this program, he is able to take data from the Digital World and transfer it to the real world in order to create useful items that could be a real help for the group.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island, Jax looked down at Cyberleomon as he was beginning to gain back some of his momentum. Just a while ago, he was being tossed aside with ease by the mighty mega. But now he was more than ready to meet head on with the great challenge.
"Hey Leomon! So, are you ready for some more?"
"Oh yeah. Now I can exploit the rest of my hidden powers upon you. So, are you ready?"
"Don't sing it. Bring it."
"Alright then."
Cyberleomon forms several energy balls and tosses them right at Jax. The artificial saw them coming right at him and he easily dodged them all with ease. Cyberleomon could her the artificial laughing at his attempts, but something was up on Leomon's mind.
"You call this an attack? Quit wasting your time! This isn't even going to hurt me! Your blasts are way out of proportion!"
Cyberleomon continued to fire away several more energy balls but he was unable to nail Jax on target. The other artificials watched on to see what the result of the fight would turn out to be.
"Hmmm. Leomon is not just shooting energy blasts. He has some sort of strategy up his mind," Black War Greymon thought. "Jax better watch out and not under-estimate Leomon's abilities."
Jax had seen enough as he flew right at Cyberleomon. He nails Cyberleomon and they both fly over towards the settling waters. Jax shot out several blasts in order to knock Cyberleomon out of commission and take advantage of the situation.
Both meet head on as they nailed each other in the face with fists. Both fighters go flying back and crashing down into the water. Cyberleomon finds himself in quite a predicament and flies out of the water. He holds out his hands and starts to form an energy blast. He plans on blasting Jax out of the water. Jax gets his composure back and starts to sense Leomon's ki rising. Jax shoots out a ki-beam and sends it flying right at Cyberleomon.
Cyberleomon sees it coming right towards him but he was able to maneuver to the side. Suddenly, Jax came out of nowhere and decks Cyberleomon right in the face with a fist and follows it up with a spinning kick to the side of the head. Cyberleomon retaliates with a head butt to Jax's face. Jax goes flying back with his nose starting to bust open with crimson blood.
"Ugh! This is getting nowhere! Leomon is just toying with him! Hey, let me take your place! I'll get this finished in an instant!" Sonja cried out impatiently.
"No way! I'm having a blast! I don't plan on losing this fight. Isn't that right, Leomon?"
Cyberleomon shoots out more ki-blasts and sends them right at Jax but he was able to maneuver away from each blast. It looks as though Jax just phases away from each blast with the greatest of ease. Cyberleomon wasn't even nailing Jax with the blasts and they are getting very sloppy as far as good aim was concerned.
"Pitiful! What the hell are you trying to do?! You can't even blast me! I'm much too fast for you, Leomon."
"Think again, bitch!"
Jax looks around him and sees nothing but a group of energy balls floating all around him. His eyes start to widen in shock and he couldn't believe it. Leomon had this planned out all along. He just created the energy balls just as a distraction in order to group them together for one huge blast.
"Yes! There is no escape for you artificial! This is where it ends for you my friend! Goodbye!"
With that said, Cyberleomon rises both of his hands and thrusts them downward as if he were controlling the energy balls. Then the ki-blasts all flew and closed in right at Jax as they all collided and shot him down. Then a huge explosion takes place as Cyberleomon flies away to take cover.
The other artificials were quite shocked, but even more shocked were the Digi-Destined. They saw the explosion take place from the far distance off and figured that Leomon was able to take down an artificial.
"Leomon. Lets just hope that blast was strong enough to destroy that artificial," Davis said in thought.
Suddenly a gust of tornado wind comes passing by and the Digi-Destined managed to take cover before they would have gotten blown away.
"That's it! That has got to be all," Veemon said, "Leomon just whooped that artificial's butt! At least I hope…"
As the smoke started to clear up back on the island, Sonja and Black War Greymon watched with disbelief as they couldn't believe that Leomon could even possess as much power as he did.
"That's it. We're screwed," Sonja said.
However, Black War Greymon just stood there and knew something was going to happen. He could just feel it without even making a bold prediction.
As the smoke cleared away, Cyberleomon looked on but then his smile turned to a gasp of disbelief at what he was seeing. When the last portions of the smoke cleared away, Jax was still hovering and without a single scratch on him. There was a shield barrier surrounding him and it looked as though he wasn't even affected at all whatsoever. Everything that Leomon had used for that last attack was now thrown out the window.
"Impressive light show, Leomon. But again, I've proven to be the more superior. So shall we continue this little game? Oh and did you just call me a bitch? You should look yourself in the mirror more often."
Cyberleomon still stood there with a shocked expression on his face and couldn't even mutter a single word.
"There that island on the other side. There's more than enough room to continue our fight. Lets go, if you presume to do this the hard way."
Jax and the artificials fly right from the original island and towards the larger, neighboring island just on the other side. Cyberleomon broke out of his shocked state and went to follow them.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, somewhere very far off from the islands, several groups of people were running away as two young men were left lying on the ground. Virus looked down upon them but soon he looked up as he felt a tremendous ki. He looks over towards the frightened men with a cruel smile on his face.
"Its your lucky day, boys. I shall spare you of your lives. I got a little date with some artificials that have kept me waiting for all this time. And yes, I can feel Leomon's energy signal! He's with them!"
Virus spreads out his wings and takes flight in the sky as he heads over towards the islands. He was getting quite anxious as the time to complete his task was drawing near.
"Leomon is with the artificials? Wonderful! This has been far better than I first expected! Soon those artificials will be mine and my first step to complete evolution shall be complete!"
Virus boosts his energy up in order to make it towards the islands a lot faster in hopes of getting towards the artificials on time.
***************************************************************************************
The artificials and Cyberleomon hover down onto the new island as round two prepares to start. Cyberleomon and Jax face off against one another as they prepare to go for another round of beating the living hell out of each other.
As Cyberleomon and Jax go for another round of non-stop action, little do they realize that Virus is on his way over to absorb his precious artificials? Can Cyberleomon finish off the artificials on time before Virus gets there?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Virus Seeks Complete Evolution! Paildramon's Grand Arrival!
The standoff was taking place amongst one of the islands and something was going down. Just a while ago, a huge explosion had completely wiped out a small island, which forced Jax and Cyberleomon to move onto a neighboring island in order to resume their battle.
Sonja and Black War Greymon watched on as Jax and Cyberleomon were standing off and facing each other. A huge gust of wind passed by both fighters. Something was now going to go down and neither fighter look like they want to give up already.
Jax circled around Cyberleomon but the brave warrior was able to keep up with his movements and stood his ground. Jax took a step back and flew right at Cyberleomon. Cyberleomon turned to face him and easily blocks out a spinning kick with his elbow. Jax goes for another spinning kick using his other leg but Cyberleomon also blocked that out. Jax goes to punch at Cyberleomon but those punches were blocked out as well.
"Quit pussing out and get serious!"
"My pleasure!"
Cyberleomon delivers a devastating kick to the gut of Jax and sends him flying back. Jax manages to flip over and meet Cyberleomon head on with a head butt to the stomach. Cyberleomon goes staggering back while holding his stomach. Jax then knees Cyberleomon right in the chin and delivers a kick to the side of his head. Cyberleomon falls down but manages to flip right back up. Jax jumps up and delivers a flying elbow into Cyberleomon's chest, which easily stopped his momentum.
Jax flips up and grabs Cyberleomon by his tail. Cyberleomon wrenches back and then thrusts his head forward to nail Jax right in the face with a devastating headbutt. Cyberleomon grabs Jax by the throat and tosses him up into the air. Jax goes flying up as if he was a rag doll and Cyberleomon flew up in order to meet him head on. Jax saw him coming and shoots out several ki-blasts. Cyberleomon managed to maneuver away from each of the blasts. Jax quickly phases out and reappears at Cyberleomon's right side. Jax nails a dropkick to the ribs of Cyberleomon. The mighty mega goes flying down but he manages to stop himself from falling and had enough energy to shoot out a powerful ki-blast. Jax saw it coming and shoots out one of his own, which easily deflected the blast.
Jax looks around his surroundings and flies right at Cyberleomon. Cyberleomon goes to nail him head on but only hit air as Jax quickly phased out. Cyberleomon turned around and was met with a kick to the face. Cyberleomon goes staggering back, but then he retaliates with a spinning kick of his own. Jax goes flying back, and it allowed Cyberleomon to quickly phase out and reappear right behind Jax. Cyberleomon goes for his Shadow Beast King attack but Jax quickly maneuvered away and shoots out a small ki-blast. Cyberleomon was quick enough to dodge it but then was met with a punch out of nowhere. Jax grabs Cyberleomon and delivers several head butts to Cyberleomon. The force of each head butt sent Cyberleomon reeling but the last head butt easily sent him flying down into the ground.
Cyberleomon found himself laying on the ground and his body getting battered from the numerous attacks from Jax. Jax flies down and cracks a smile.
"Not bad, for a digital waste."
"Speak for yourself. You artificials still haven't been keeping up with digimon's ability to grow stronger after each battle."
"Well, so does that also include you as well?"
Cyberleomon only cracked a smirk on his face, which did not sit well for Jax. The artificial resumes the fight as he goes flying right at Cyberleomon and delivers a spinning kick. But this time, Cyberleomon was able to duck under and deliver a jump kick into the gut of the artificial. Jax goes flying up which allowed Cyberleomon to quickly phase out and reappear above Jax. Cyberleomon drops an elbow into Jax's gut and sends him flying down into the ground below.
Cyberleomon quickly phases down and towards Jax's fallen body. Cyberleomon goes for a punch onto his lifeless body but Jax was able to phase out just in time. Cyberleomon turns around and sees a fust coming right at his face, but he was unable to duck under. Another fist was being thrown from another direction. Again, Cyberleomon was able to twist to the side to avoid the shot.
Cyberleomon wrenches back and balls up his fist as it started to glow. Jax sees it coming and balls up his fist as well. Both fighter's fists meet on and the impact caused both of them to go flying back. Jax managed to stop himself from hitting a nearby boulder and flip up on top of the boulder. Cyberleomon lands on his feet and quickly gets into a fighting stance. Both seem to be catching their breath and trying to find a way to exploit each other's weaknesses and plan to finish the fight early.
Sonja was getting quite impatient as she stomped her foot on the ground.
"What are they doing? They're not even taking this seriously. They're toying with each other."
"No they're not," replied Black War Greymon, "Both are almost equal but its seems as though Leomon still has plenty of fight left in him. He and Jax are fighting with everything that they got. If only my fight with War Greymon would happen so, then I will show you two how a real fight should go down."
"Oh, I see."
Jax and Cyberleomon faced each other down and both of them were now going to plan out their next move in order to resume the fight. Both fighters looked pretty worn out but they would not give up just yet. They were just heating up and something was now going to go down. One of them will eventually give out and it could very well be Jax, or Leomon himself. The tide was turning to Leomon's side and he was gaining back some momentum as of now.
"I expect this fight to get much more intense. They are not about to give out just yet," Black War Greymon replied, "I think it would be wise just to let them resume the battle."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Jax should not under-estimate Leomon's abilities. This could go either way."
"Alright. Whatever you say."
Sonja was starting to worry over the fact that a fighter such as Leomon currently is giving Jax a run for his money, when it was just a couple of days ago that Jax easily man-handled the mighty warrior. Something was obviously different about Leomon but she couldn't put her finger on what it could be.
"Leomon must have gained some sort of energy boost. He wasn't this strong before," Jax thought. "I have to end this battle quick or my chances of gaining the victory will become very slim."
Cyberleomon got into a fighting position as he was gaining back his composure and gained more breathe. Jax was more than ready to go for the next round.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the other Digi-Destined were all waiting patiently as the digimon were beginning to pick up several ki-levels rising over towards the islands.
"What's going down so far, Veemon?" asked Davis.
"Close fight. Cyberleomon almost lost his footing but he is back in the game."
"TK. You think we should go and help him," asked Patamon.
"No. Leomon said it would be best that we all stay here, like he said. So let us respect his wishes," TK replied.
"Well. I don't know about you but I don't like sitting out when there's a big fight going on," Davis said.
"Well you're just going to have to sit around!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Or you could end up being swatted aside like a fly," Cody said.
"Leomon better not let this fight last this long because I will fear for the worst if he gets beaten," replied Mimi.
"She's right. We really don't know if Leomon is any stronger than those artificials," Michael said.
"So, its best that we hope and believe in Leomon's abilities," Sora said, "Or all could be lost."
Just then, the digimon started to pick up another huge ki heading towards the islands from another direction. They began to wonder who it belonged it. Veemon was to first to speak up.
"You guys. I feel another ki heading towards the islands. Oh man! This is not good!"
"What's wrong, Veemon?" Davis asked, "Is it one of the artificials?"
"No, worse. It's… Its Virus!"
"Yeah! I can feel his energy too," replied Patamon.
"He's heading towards the islands. He must have sensed Leomon's energy and could easily find the artificials there," Betamon said.
"Oh no! This is definitely not good," Mimi said.
"Now what are we supposed to do?" Davis asked desperately.
"Oh man. This is not good. This is situation has now turned for the worst," said Palmon.
**************************************************************************************
The digimon now had a right to worry because they were right, because Virus was indeed on his way over towards the islands.
Virus flies across the oceans using a boost of fast speed to get over long distances in a short period of time. He was desperate and would not let anything slow him down at this moment. His time could very well be at time. His destiny could be realized.
"What a grand finale! This shall be the day that I complete my full evolution. Those artificials shall be mine and the thought of it makes me tingle! Ha! Ha!"
Virus laughed manically as he flew across the ocean in hopes of getting towards the island as soon as possible. Nothing will slow him down and he doesn't plan on failing this mission whatsoever.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the secret training dimension in Azulongmon's territory, Kari and Gatomon sat around. They were hoping that Matt and Dimitri would have already completed their time training inside the chamber.
"How long has it been?" asked Kari.
"Like I said, almost a day and a half. I'm just about tired enough to take a catnap. Heh, look at your brother. He's already knocked out."
"Well, he's always the sleepy type when things start to bore him. Hey Agumon, why aren't you sleeping?"
"I'm focused on this approaching battle that we will be forced to take part in. I feel sleeping at a time like this isn't going to help any."
"So why are you letting Tai sleep?"
"It's his choice, not mine. He makes his own decisions. But I'm not just going to lie around. Gatomon, I would stay awake and start to pick up the other's ki-levels just in case something big goes down."
"Right. Well, since we can't sense the artificials, Leomon must still be fighting them."
"Yes, Leomon is taking on one of the artificials at this moment," replied Gennai, "But there's bad news along with it."
"What could be so wrong at this moment?" asked Kari.
"Virus is on his way over to the islands. If Leomon doesn't finish off the artificials, then all hope if lost and Virus will find them."
"No! We can't allow that to happen! Leomon has got to put a peddle to the metal and finish this," Agumon replied.
"Ugh! If only Matt and Dimitri had finished their digimion training with Gabumon and Patamon right about now," Gatomon hissed angrily.
"So you think that Leomon has a chance against this artificial?" asked Kari.
"I don't know. So far, they're still going at it and there's no telling who will come out of this alive," Agumon said, "I can't even guarantee a winner for this fight. We will just have to trust in Leomon's abilities and hope he can get the job done."
"C'mon Leomon. These artificials need to be shut down, once and for all! Do us a favor and make sure that Virus doesn't arrive to absorb them! Without us around, you're the only hope at this moment of time. Man, I just hate sitting around like this," Tai thought.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the apartment complex, at the home of Tai and Kari, Izzy walked out of the apartment with his laptop and a smile on his face.
"Hey guys! I got fantastic news! With some technology from the Digital World, I was able to create a deactivation device. This will disable the artificials with one push of a button."
"Great! We're going to need it! Can we get it now," asked Cody.
"It's going to need time to download. Remember not everything can be processed within a push of a button."
"Ugh. I just wish there wasn't a thing as downloading. Just the thought of it makes my head hurt," Davis said.
"Don't worry. This shouldn't take long, but I should warn you that my Internet connection maybe a little slow, so bear with me gang."
"Maybe I can help you out a bit," Ken said.
"Ditto here. I'll guide you through, Izzy," replied Yolei.
"Thanks. I'm really going to need a lot of help on this one. Huh? Prodigious! The downloading process is beginning!"
Yolei, Ken and Izzy sat around in order to observe the downloading process and were hoping for it to complete as soon as possible. Davis looked to be very desperate and running out of patience.
"Davis? You really want to go out there don't you?" asked Veemon.
"You bet! I hate sitting around and not doing anything! I'm the type that loves to go out and fight! You know what I mean?"
"I hear ya! So what do you have in mind?"
"I say we go out there now! I don't care how powerful those artificials really are! And you remember all of those times that I said that you and I should fuse together?"
"Yeah?"
"Well that time should come now! I'm sick of waiting and I want action! I don't want Leomon to die because of his bravery and his pride! Veemon, I say, together, we fight those artificials to the end and we will do whatever it takes to bring them down! Are you with me?!"
"You bet!"
"I said, are you with me?!"
"Yeah! You don't have to repeat!"
Just then, Davis looked at his D-3 and it began to glow a very bright color. A neon blue glow came out and started to form around both Davis and Veemon. They could feel each other's heartbeats and large surges of energy flowing through their bodies. It was as though they were receiving a secret power.
"Wow. I can hear and feel my own heart beating. Wait a second! I can also feel Veemon's. Oh man. This is so cool. I'll bet that this is how fusion feels like."
The other Digi-Destined took notice of this and gasped in shock.
"What's happening to him?" asked Cody.
"They're… They're reaching out to each other," said Hawkmon.
"They're in the digital fusion process! They're going to fuse!"
"No way! Davis and Veemon fuse now?" Sora asked with a shocked tone in her voice.
"Davis! Whoa! How does it feel?" asked Ken.
"It feels great. I feel much stronger than ever," Davis said, "So Veemon, are you ready to kick some artificial tail?"
"Time to kick some tail!"
"We're sending those artificials to hell where they belong!"
[Digimon Zero Two Jogress theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
As soon as he said that his D-3 flew up and a beam of energy showered over both himself and Veemon. Veemon felt his energy level increasing as he quickly evolved into Xveemon. Then Davis and Xveemon were encircling each other.
"Xveemon! Fusion Shinka!"
Then both of them came together in a bright flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, a tall and armored figure stood in place of them. The creature had some sort of green armor, a red helmet, and blue legs. Two gun blasters came popping out from each side. The figure then got into a fighting stance and was more than happy to introduce himself.
"Paildramon!"
The Digi-Destined all looked on in total shock and amazement. The digimon even felt his energy level and it has increased tremendously. Paildramon now had a mixture of both Davis' voice and Xveemon's voice.
"Whoa! Who is that digimon?" asked Cody.
"That's Paildramon!" Armadillomon said.
[Paildramon. Fusion Ultimate-Level. Data Type. Special Technique: Desperado Blaster]
"Yes. We are Paildramon. We are an ultimate-level digimon. As Davis and Xveemon, we fused to become Paildramon. Our main attack is the powerful Desperado Blaster."
"This is what we need! Maybe Paildramon will lend a hand to Leomon! Boy aren't the artificials going to get a big kick out of this," TK said.
"Wait! Leomon specifically said that no one shall interfere," Sora said.
"I'm sorry, Sora. But we have to do this! Its our destiny and we too are Digi-Destined," Paildramon said, "Now if you will excuse us, we're going to kick some artificial ass!"
With that said, Paildramon flies up into the air and heads over towards the direction to the islands. The Digi-Destined watched in awe as they had just witnessed a brand new fusion amongst the new Digi-Destined.
"Davis was able to fuse with Veemon. So which one of us could be next to reach that level of power?" asked Ken.
"It could be us, Ken," said Wormmon.
"Or us," Yolei said to Hawkmon.
"That would really make my day! I'm looking forward to that," Hawkmon replied.
"How about us, Cody?" Armadillomon asked.
"You bet! Anyone of us could be next."
"Even us, TK."
"Yep. That goes for us too, Patamon. But I wonder if Paildramon will really be enough to stop the artificials."
"We'll just have to believe in Paildramon's instincts. His power seems higher than that of Cyberleomon's, even for an ultimate-level," Biyomon said.
"Just consider Paildramon a mega-ultimate, somewhere in the level between the two different evolution lines," Tentomon said, "Ugh, even all of this evolution makes my head all spinney."
"Well, Davis. It's really up to you and Veemon. Lets just hope that Paildramon lives up to its hype,"Izzy thought.
["Beat Hit" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Paildramon was near the islands and he kept his focus on the battle by picking up the ki of Leomon.
"Davis. We're going to have to hurry. Leomon isn't going to last much longer."
"I know. Man, the only thing I hate about this is people talking through my mind. Oh well, I'll get used to it."
**************************************************************************************
Back on the island, the battle continued on between Jax and Cyberleomon. Jax was shown being tossed into the ground by Cyberleomon. Jax managed to get to his feet and nails Cyberleomon with a cross right hook to Cyberleomon's face. The mighty warrior goes flying back and crashing through a nearby cliff.
Jax stood there while catching his breathe and started to feel vibrations underneath the ground. Suddenly, two hands popped out and grabbed Jax. The ground started to crumble as Cyberleomon came popping out and pulling Jax down underneath the ground.
Cyberleomon comes flying out with Jax in his grasp. Jax was trying to struggle in order to break free but Cyberleomon held onto him as tightly as possible. Cyberleomon grabs Jax by his hair and tosses him down into the ground. Jax's fall caused the ground around him to cave under and leave a large crater. Cyberleomon shoots down several powerful ki-blasts right at Jax in order to keep him down at the moment.
Cyberleomon goes flying down and checked to see if he was able to get his adversary with those ki-blasts. But even those were not enough as he watched the smoke clear and there wasn't a trace of Jax anywhere. Suddenly, Cyberleomon felt something phase right behind him. He turned around and ducked under from a punch being delivered by Jax. Cyberleomon takes advantage and executes an uppercut to Jax's ribs. Jax goes flying back as he hit the ground.
Cyberleomon slowly walks up towards him and holds out his hand as he prepares to blast away Jax. But that wasn't to be as Jax quickly phased out and reappeared right behind Cyberleomon. Jax nails a spinning kick followed by a head butt into Cyberleomon's gut. The mighty warrior felt the impact of the two blows and caused him to cough out a load of blood. Then Jax grabs Cyberleomon and goes to toss him down into the ground but Cyberleomon was able to reverse and toss Jax down into the ground.
Cyberleomon looked down at Jax and smiled. Jax slowly rose to his feet and was prepared to fight once again. Cyberleomon flies right at Jax and throws in several rapid punches and kicks at the artificial. Jax was able to keep up with Cyberleomon's faster pace. Jax took advantage as he kneed Cyberleomon in the face and delivers a mighty elbow smash into his gut. Cyberleomon goes flying back and crashing through a nearby wall.
Jax walks over towards the fallen rubble that completely covered Cyberleomon and pointed his finger towards it. He then shoots out a tiny beam from his finger and blew up the rubble in the process. Jax smiled as he realized that he had won this little fight.
"Well it's about time. Now we can all go and resume our search for Taichi," Sonja said, "I told you that Jax was just wasting our time."
"No. Its not over," Black War Greymon replied, "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."
Indeed, Black War Greymon was correct and Sonja looked towards the battlefield. The ground started to shake once again and a beam quickly penetrated from the ground. Then the beam came out of nowhere and managed to cause a momentary distraction for Jax. Then out of nowhere, Cyberleomon delivers a heavy blow after delivering a huge elbow shot to the back of Jax's head. Jax goes screaming out in tremendous agony as he went flying back.
Jax flew back but he managed to land on his feet. Cyberleomon stood there facing him and catching his breath.
"Ha. Not bad for an early, older model type."
"What?! I don't know what the hell you are talking about, Leomon. I am the ultimate artificial! There are no improved and advanced models after me!"
Just then, Jax noticed that Cyberleomon was being calm for some apparent reason and he started to realize that Leomon was just playing some sort of mind games.
"Heh. Yes. I know what you're trying to do. You're playing with my mind. Yes, so that way you can easily gain back your energy and find a way to defeat me. I know you very well, Leomon. This fight has gotten a lot more interesting. I am learning a lot from you, Leomon."
Just then, Cyberleomon turned to the side and looked out towards a cliff at the right side of him. His eyes started to widen in shock and fear at what he was seeing. And he had a right to be shocked, because Virus was standing on top of the cliff! Virus has arrived!
"Delightful. What a moment this has turned out to be. This marks as the actually day that I reach my full evolution once and for all!"
Virus looks down at the artificials and towards Cyberleomon, who was just as shocked as ever. Virus could easily sense Leomon's fears, which easily brought a smile on his face.
"Hello, Leomon. You do remember me, do you? I really like to thank you for bringing Jax and Sonja over. That way I can easily take advantage of this situation and absorb the artificials. You shall be the first to witness my full evolution! Ha! Ha!"
Virus stood as ground as he now prepared to make his next move to complete his first step which would lead into his full evolution of his whole design. He would now realize his goal but has to overcome Cyberleomon in order to do so.
The artificials looked at Virus and didn't know what to make of him. It was as though that they couldn't even recognize him. In fact, they don't even know who Virus was and they have no idea of what his motives really are! This certainly hasn't been going the Digi-Destined's way after all.
***************************************************************************************
Paildramon was still on his way over towards the islands and he could easily sense the dark ki coming from the islands.
"Oh no! This can't be good! Davis! I can sense Virus' energy level! We have to get there as soon as possible! Leomon will need our help after all!"
"Then lets get a move on Paildramon!"
"We'll get there in no time," Paildramon said as he boosted his speed and flew across the oceans in order to make it over towards the islands in no time.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island, a showdown was now taking place but this time it wasn't between Jax and Cyberleomon. Now they were the ones who were being looked upon by none other than Virus himself.
The evil artificial has managed to make it to the island and surprised the hell out of Cyberleomon. Cyberleomon could only look on with total shock on his face at what he was seeing. The artificials didn't seem to show any kinds of fear, since they had no idea of who Virus is and what his intentions are.
Virus looks over towards Cyberleomon with a smirk on his face.
"Cyberleomon. Well. Well. If it isn't you. I see that you brought the artificials for me. How gracious of you. I'll have to return the favor to you later."
Virus then turns around and faces the other artificials and could easily recognize them since his program has allowed identifying them through his instincts.
"Hmmm. These artificials look so familiar. It's if as I have seen them before. Yes. Artificial model-Jax. Not to mention, Artificial model-Sonja."
But then he just noticed Black War Greymon and was quite surprised to see him. He hasn't seen a Black War Greymon model and was beginning to wonder how Datamon managed to create such an advanced artificial life form.
"Hmm. Well, who is this one? He looks like War Greymon, but he's dark and he too is an artificial. Oh well, he isn't the one that I'm looking for. Sonja and Jax are much more important to me at this very moment."
Cyberleomon turned over towards the artificials and noticed that they weren't even getting scared. He wondered why they were so calm at the moment; maybe they know something that he doesn't even realize.
***************************************************************************************
The digimon were now starting to sorry and they could easily detect Virus' evil energy coming from the islands. Patamon flew up and gasped.
"Patamon, what is it?" asked TK.
"Virus. He's on the islands! I think he found the artificials!"
"No! One of us has to go out there now!" Cody exclaimed.
"Now hold on! Paildramon is heading towards that island as we speak and I think he will be able to help Cyberleomon fend off all three artificials not to mention Virus," Sora said.
"Well you're making it sound like that its easy," Mimi said, "Speak for yourself. Its three powerful artificials and a mutant hell bent on absorbing them."
"She's right. One of us must go out and help Leomon, not to mention Paildramon," Michael said.
"I say we stay here until drastic measures calls for drastic needs," replied Sora, "I'm not going to afford losing any of you."
The group all groaned at the fact that they aren't able to do anything to help Paildramon and Leomon. They were just sitting ducks and that just isn't their motive.
Meanwhile, Izzy, Yolei and Ken were still hard at work over the device, and the downloading process was still nearing the half point. It will take some more time for it to become complete.
"Uh, if only this thing went a little faster,"Yolei said to herself.
"I just hope that Paildramon will be more than enough to lend Leomon a hand. Time is indeed running out. If only I could remember how to create devices. As the Kaiser, I could build dark rings and dark towers using my base, but now I've lost memory of building such advanced items. I don't want to become useless. The others need me and I will make sure that one of us will fuse with our digimon. Davis is right about one thing, we either take action and stop the evil forces or we simply just give up and let evil take over. Well, I was overtaken by evil once and I won't allow it to happen again! I will fight with my friends to the end!"
They then resumed with their work over the device, as the downloading process was still halfway through full completion.
**************************************************************************************
Virus looked over his scared victims with a smile on his face. The artificials managed to break out of their shocked states, as Jax was the first to speak up.
"Hey! What the hell is that thing?!"
Cyberleomon gasped at what Jax had just said. Jax's statement had Cyberleomon stunned. Jax doesn't even know who Virus was and what his motives were.
"He doesn't know Virus! I can't believe this! The artificials don't even know who Virus is!"
"Well, I think I should be the one to introduce myself to you artificials. For I have come to seek for your energy. You will soon learn of what I am capable of."
With that said, Virus jumps off the small cliff side and lands on his feet. He stood up as he turned to face Cyberleomon and the three artificials. Cyberleomon got into a fighting stance in order to attack the evil artificial head on. Virus just simply stood there and a dark glow began to form all over his body. He felt a black aura forming and let out a blood-curling scream. He was now beginning to maximize his hidden powers.
Cyberleomon stood frozen in shock and he felt the tremendous energy coming from Virus himself. His ki-level has now reached new heights and is even higher than the last time Cyberleomon fought the monster. The ground around Virus was quickly beginning to shatter and the energy field that was forming around him was now getting bigger and bigger.
Cyberleomon took several steps back and watched as the barrier started to grow even bigger and he felt Virus releasing more of his energy. The ki-energy that was being released contained of the lost souls that were all absorbed by Virus. These were all Virus' victims and this made Cyberleomon more than just scared. But flat out, terrified. He has never felt such a horrifying power as Virus'.
Virus quickly powered down and golden aura started to form around him. His energy has now been rejuvenated and he was now ready to fight.
Cyberleomon stood there frozen as stiff in total shock. Virus hovered over towards Cyberleomon and it looked like he was going to attack but he simply passed right by Cyberleomon and stopped right behind him. Virus turned to face Cyberleomon.
"Ah, what's wrong? Is my power too frightening for you to withstand? Now you realize the full potential of my powers. Every victim that I absorbed now has a place and they are all apart of me. They will now serve a purpose for me."
Virus walks over towards the artificials as he let out a low cackle. Cyberleomon turned around and growled angrily towards Virus.
"Apart of you?! Those souls serve no purpose for you! You stole them by absorbing and killing innocent people!"
"What stole them? Fool! They are apart of me now! They will serve a purpose, as they will help me achieve my goal of reaching ultimate evolution. Just admit it, you are no match for me now. You shall see the full potential of my artificial design. But first, I got a little business to take care of. Artiticial Jax, come to me."
Jax stood his ground and he quickly got into a fighting stance. He has no idea of who Virus is but he knows when there's trouble. He wasn't going to let Virus intimidate him. But would he have enough power to fight back even Virus?
**************************************************************************************
Paildramon was getting closer towards the islands and he suddenly felt a dark presence amongst the islands.
"Davis! I can sense Virus! He already beat us to the artificials! We have to get there as soon as possible!"
"Well, we're almost there. Just use your speed to help us reach the long distance. Hopefully, Leomon didn't begin fighting him, because he might not even stand a chance."
"Right, and not to mention that the artificials could also be lending a hand to Virus. We can't afford to lose Leomon! Lets go!"
Paildramon boosted up his speed as he flew across the oceans in hopes of getting to Leomon and stopping Virus as soon as possible.
***************************************************************************************
Gennai felt the dark energy level and turned to face Agumon. Agumon nodded to him and he looked over to Kari and Gatomon.
"I can feel Virus' energy. He's about to absorb the artificials! Leomon has to do what he can to stop him! But I can also sense another very strong ki. It feels like Xveemon and somebody with him has… My god! They've fused to become Paildramon!" Gennai exclaimed.
"Davis and Xveemon fused! Whoa! Will even Paildramon be enough to help Leomon?" asked Gatomon, "According to his, he's only at the ultimate level."
"We can't doubt Paildramon's abilities. We have yet to see him in action," Agumon replied.
"I just hope Matt and Dimitri are finished because we're really running out of time," Kari said.
"C'mon Matt! Dimitri! When are you two going to get done? There's not really anymore time left! Its down to a life or death situation here,"Tai said to himself impatiently,"Leomon, just hold him off for a little while longer."
***************************************************************************************
Jax stood his ground and he takes a fighting stance. He watched as Virus was slowly approaching him. Virus stopped and his tail started to rise up. A smirk formed across the face of Jax and he was now becoming quite overconfident.
"Hmph! So what are you supposed to be? You're nothing more than some sideshow freak looking for a day job. I suggest you leave now and let us continue this fight."
Virus stood there calmly and could only smile over the fact that he is face to face with none other than Jax himself. This was the moment he was been waiting for. He was counting on absorbing him first and now this was his chance. Cyberleomon took notice of this and called out towards Jax.
"Jax! That monster is there to get you! He's going to absorb you if you don't get away from here! Move it! Move it!"
"What?!"
As soon as he said that, Virus quickly lashed out his tail in a speed of light and attempted to strike Jax as if he were a helpless prey with his arms cut off. Jax managed to maneuver away from each tail swipe and stinger stab.
"What the hell are you trying to do?!"
Virus takes advantage of the situation and delivers a knee shot into Jax's abdomen. Virus grabs the artificials and arm drags him down to the ground. Jax looked up to see Virus' spiked tail looming over him. Virus was now about to strike Jax like a scorpion about to stab his prey. But as soon as he could even make an attempt in absorbing him, a swarm of energy blasts came out of nowhere.
"Desperado Blaster!"
Virus is shot by numerous of blasts from out of nowhere. Cyberleomon and the artificials all looked up. To their surprise, they could see Paildramon hovering from above and with his guns started to release smoke after shooting out powerful shoots.
"Who is that?" asked Sonja.
"Could it be? Another fused digimon?" Cyberleomon wondered.
"It is Daisuke and Xveemon. They managed to perform the fusion technique to become this new warrior. They are now Paildramon," Black War Greymon said.
"And he saved my life? But… Why? At time, we were whooping the hell out of Xveemon!" Jax said.
"Times have changed now, Jax. So this time we have to become allies in this situation," Cyberleomon said.
"And what makes you think that's going to ever happen?" Jax asked angrily.
"Would you rather have this creep absorb you and become the most powerful being in two worlds?" asked Paildramon as he quickly landed on the ground.
"Just who is this… This thing? He's sick?" Jax asked in disgust.
"His name is Virus. Datamon created him, and he was sent out to absorb you and Sonja in order to complete his full evolution. We must keep him from absorbing you," Cyberleomon said.
"Ugh. What a disgusting creature," Sonja retorted.
"Please take this as an offer to you Jax and Sonja. I am offering a truce for you two to become apart of me. Together, we shall become one unstoppable force. So what do you say? Let us fulfill Datamon's dream of the destruction of two worlds."
"Thanks for the offer but I'm not interested. You see, I am a far more advanced model than you Virus. I don't you or your help," Jax said, "This is who I am and I want to remain it that way!"
"It really doesn't matter what you think. You are apart of me and I shall absorb you."
"Heh. Why don't you try me out, big guy?!"
"Jax! I would not fight him," Black War Greymon said, "This thing has a tremendous ki. If you fight him, there is a great chance that you will easily be swept aside and become absorbed. Do not risk it."
"Well that's your opinion. But I don't plan on losing to a thing like this anytime soon! Ok, Virus! Whenever you are ready!"
Jax took a fighting position, as does Virus. Jax starts it off as he flies right at Virus and goes for a right hook, but Virus quickly was able to twist to the side. Jax gasped in shock and felt a tremendous force ram into his chest. Jax goes staggering back while grasping his injured chest. Virus takes advantage and nails Jax with an uppercut that easily sends the artificial flying up.
Virus goes flying up as well but he easily phased right above Jax and deliver an elbow shot into the artificial's chest. The impact caused him to go crashing down into the ground.
"We must stop him before he absorbs the artificial," Cyberleomon said, "Shadow of the Beast King!"
"Deperado Blaster!"
The attacks managed to come together and they combined into one large energy blast. Virus turned around and the blast nailed him head on. A large explosion takes place as smoke started to form. Paildramon and Cyberleomon watch to see if Virus was able to withstand the attack and they were surprised when Virus came flying out without a single scathe.
"No way!" Paildramon exclaimed, "That attack was perfectly executed!"
"I guess, you aren't the only one who thought so as well," said Cyberleomon.
"Fools! When I reach my full evolution, your attacks will be nothing more than gnat bites to me! So I suggest you to come up with another plan of attack!"
"Any bright ideas, Paildramon?"
"None at the moment but I say we keep on attacking!"
"Whatever you say."
Virus goes flying right at the two fighters but Paildramon and Cyberleomon flew right back at him head on. Cyberleomon pulls out his sword and swipes away at Virus but the evil monster used his quick prowess to easily maneuver away from each sword swipe. Paildramon shoots out cables from his hands and grapples Virus along with them.
"No allow me."
Virus then shoots out the same cables from out of his back and grappled Paildramon right down to the ground.
"How about a taste of your own medicine?! Desperado Blaster!"
Virus shoots out the same attack that Paildramon was just using and was shooting down Paildramon with tremendous ease.
"Davis! He's much stronger than we first thought! Its as if we were fighting our ourselves!"
"No kidding! This guy needs to come up with some original attacks!"
"Shadow Beast King!"
Cyberleomon thrusts his fist forward and watched as it nailed Virus right in the chest. The evil monster goes staggering back as he actually felt the attack.
"And now I shall finish this!"
Cyberleomon cups his hands together and started to power up. The ground around him started to shake and a ball of energy was forming in his hands.
"What's he doing?" asked Sonja, "He's concentrating on some sort of technique."
"Yes and he's going to use it against Virus! I suggest to take cover," Black War Greymon said.
Cyberleomon roared out angrily and the energy ball became bigger and bigger, then it eventually become a large and boulder-sized. Cyberleomon steps backwards and then thrusts his hands out towards Virus. Virus attempts to maneuver away but watches as the blast quickly engulfs him and a huge explosion takes place as a result.
Paildramon picks up Jax and goes to take cover from the flying debris that was being blown away. Black War Greymon shielded Sonja and slashed away at the flying debris.
Cyberleomon was quickly catching his breath as he looked upon the landscape just ahead of him. The blast was so strong that it felt a large crater and water filling up the hole. There was obviously nothing left of Virus. Cyberleomon sighed with relief and fell to his knees in order to regain his composure. He used almost all of his own energy for that one attack.
"Wow. What a powerful attack. That had to do that creature in," Sonja said, "There's no way that he could have survived that!"
"No. You're wrong," Black War Greymon said.
"Huh? Impossible!"
"Yes. He is still alive. He's not dead. That attack didn't do anything to him."
"No!"
Cyberleomon soon realized that as he started to shake in total shock. His eyes were widening. He couldn't believe that attack wasn't enough to put Virus away for good. Cyberleomon looked up ahead and began to sense Virus' dark ki. It was rising and as strong as ever.
Virus slowly rose out of the water with a smirk on his face. He hovers out of the water and right back onto dry land. Cyberleomon still could not believe it.
"That's impossible! I gave everything I had to build up that last attack! I shouldn't have made such a foolish mistake!"
"Not a good move on his part! Leave this to me," Paildramon said.
Paildramon goes flying right at Virus and starts hammering away at him, but Virus seems unaffected by any of Paildramon's head on attacks. They weren't even fazing Virus!
Cyberleomon went in to intervene and punch away at Virus but his punches were soon becoming very ineffective. Virus takes advantage as he nails chop blocks to the sides of Paildramon. This stunned him long enough for Virus to deliver a powerful punch right in his face. Paildramon goes flying back and right over towards Jax. Jax stood there in total shock and noticed that Virus was looking over towards him.
"Run, Jax! Get the hell out of here! ! Now!" exclaimed Cyberleomon.
But then Virus takes advantage of the situation and decks Cyberleomon right in the face with a right hand. Cyberleomon goes flying back and crashing down into the ground. Virus walks over towards the fallen digimon and picks him up. Jax looked on and couldn't even move a muscle; he is still in shock after what Virus had tried to do to him.
"Well, its been real, Leomon. You managed to put up a good fight. But all of your efforts proved nothing but a shameful waste. Now, it's time for you to die, Leomon. You will see nothing but darkness for the rest of your life… Goodbye."
With that said, Virus shoots out a powerful blast and watches as it goes through Cyberleomon's gut. Cyberleomon let out a horrifying and blood-curling roar as he felt the beam burn right through his gut and he instantly was dying from the large wound that Virus inflicted on him.
The artificials stood there in complete shock. Paildramon had just gotten up on his feet and he couldn't believe at what he saw.
"God dammit! No! We're too late!"
***************************************************************************************
Agumon and Gatomon felt the depleting ki of Leomon as they soon realized that Virus has already done him in. Leomon now is obviously dying or already dead.
"No! Leomon! Virus got him," Gatomon exclaimed.
"No! Tai! We just lost Leomon!" Kari cried out.
"No! That bastard! Agumon! I can't wait to get my hands on this creep!"
"Leomon," said Gennai with a sad tone to his voice, "At least you made sure that the artificials weren't absorbed. But you risked your life. I wish that I were there to help but Paildramon beat me to it. Now its up to Paildramon but he's still no match for Virus! It's going to take a lot more than just him."
"That's why we should hurry up with this damn training! I should be out there to help them," Gatomon hissed angrily, "Kari. We're going to get me as strong as possible. I want to be the one that takes that creep down for good!"
"Agreed!"
"Azulongmon? Is there any hope for Leomon?" asked Agumon.
"I really hope so. Virus really damaged him but I hope and pray that he remains alive during this time of crisis. And it's really going to take more than just Paildramon to defeat this creature. This very well could be your most difficult task to accomplish as Digi-Destined."
"And we're up for this new challenge! That's why when Matt and Dimitri leave that chamber, Kari and I will do what we can to push Agumon and Gatomon to new limits of the fusion power!"
"I'm with you big brother. We won't let Leomon's sacrifice be in vain!"
***************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon twitches in tremendous pain, which brought a delighted smile across the face of Virus. He quickly tosses Cyberleomon into the water and watched as his body started to sink down below.
"Well… Well… We're alone, Jax At last, the time has come. Now you shall be mine," Virus calmly says as he slowly goes walking over towards Jax.
Virus then turns to face Sonja and notices her frightened face.
"And you too, you little hot hellcat."
"No! Not as long as I'm still here!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"And how are you going to stop if I was able to swat you away like a fly? Ha. You got to be kidding me."
"As long as we're still breathing and on our two feet, then we shall fight you to the very end!"
"But will you live up to those promises? Can you even guarantee to protecting these artificials from my wrath?"
"We can't guarantee you anything but we will stop you no matter what!"
"Just try me then, Paildramon. You will soon realize the full depth of my power and you'll end up just like Leomon, a has been and obsolete."
Meanwhile, Black War Greymon stood there in the background with Sonja at his side as he slowly clenched his fists. It looked like he was about to go off but he obviously was having something in mind, but the question is what.
Virus has left quite an impact as he has taken the life of Leomon and tossed him aside. Can even Paildramon be enough to defeat this formidable foe? Or does Black War Greymon, the silent giant, have a few tricks up his sleeves?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
The Silent Mega, Black War Greymon Awakens! Jax is Swallowed… Virus' Second Step to Evolution Complete!
Virus is looking towards Jax, who is still in shock after watching the horrible turn of events that have occurred. He still couldn't believe that Virus actually put Leomon out of his misery. This is not what Jax had a mind, but he now nonetheless is forced to face the devilish creature himself.
Deep underwater, the body of Cyberleomon started to quickly sink down into the bottom and his body slowly started to de-evolve back to its normal state. Leomon felt his power weaken tremendously and he quickly de-evolved back to his champion-leveled form, Leomon. There was a rather large hole deep in his chest and his eyes were definitely glazed over. It looked as though he is already dead. Soon, his body quickly sunk down into the bottom sands and Leomon slowly started to lose consciousness.
Virus looks on back over towards the waters with an sadistic grin on his face. He was quite satisfied in putting Leomon out of misery for good. He had no remorse for the fallen warrior, for now he has the artificials all to himself. But little did he realize that Paildramon was still around and slowly regaining his senses.
"No! Leomon is gone! That bastard is going to pay dearly for that! Davis, I say we attack him! That way, we can allow the artificials to escape unharmed," Paildramon said to himself.
"Good idea, Paildramon. But lets not end up getting ourselves killed in the meantime."
"Trust me. We can handle this!"
"Well, we sure do now know that Leomon won't be joining us at this very moment. So, you could say farewell to the brave warrior. Stupid, yet courageous. Now, let us continue on with this. You know the procedure, Artificial Jax."
The monster started walking slowly towards Jax but the artificial wasn't going to back down until he gets a decent fight from Virus. Jax clenched his fists and got into a fighting position.
"Yes. You know very well that you are apart of me and I shall absorb you. Its what we were destined for. You should understand that. And that goes for you too beautiful Sonja."
Sonja looked on with a disgusted look on her face. The thought of having to join Virus into his being is nothing more than hideous and gruesome.
"You two were made of the same design and constructed by Datamon. I am somewhat created by your design but my body is mainly more bioorganic. That is why I require the energy from you two. Your artificial bodies have something that I really need. You could call it an energy bar so to speak. So, now let us all fuse and become the most terrifying force that these two worlds have ever seen. We were meant to be together as one and we shall end all of humanity. Not to mention the entire Digital World."
"If we don't stop him now, he's going to absorb the artificials and we're pretty much done for!" Paildramon exclaimed.
Virus continues over towards Jax as he quickly started to increase his pace. Jax gets into a fighting position and holds out his hands as if he were going to form an energy blast. He was more than ready to attack the evil monster head on.
"C'mon, you overgrown grasshopper. You don't scare me whatsoever! I rather die than join forces with you!"
[Dragonball Z Japanese theme "Dragon Power Infinity" plays in the background without the chorus to it.]
Virus picks up the pace and starts running over towards Jax. Jax quickly runs right at him with his fists held back as if he were ready to pummel Virus head on at a tremendous fast action pace.
"C'mon Virus! I dare you to give me the best of your ability! Because, I'm not going to give out without a fight!"
Virus quickly makes over towards Jax and the young artificial managed to maneuver aside. Jax turns around and Virus swipes at him with his rather, powerful tail. Jax ducks under and avoids from being hit by the tail. Virus quickly pushes his tail forwards and manages to nail Jax out of nowhere, which quickly caught the artificial by total surprise.
"Surprised, huh? Well you should be! My speed is much superior to yours, Jax!"
Virus wrenches back and clubs Jax right in the face with a closed fist that sent the artificial flying back. Virus goes flying right at Jax, but the artificial was able to revive himself on time and maneuver away. But he didn't expect for Virus to phase out in the speed of light. Jax turns around and gets nailed right in the back of the head by Virus' spiked tail. Jax goes falling down onto his knees and was now catching his breath. Jax can't even make a single hit on Virus, until that is he felt Virus' approaching him from behind.
"You're mine! Its time to absorb you!"
"I don't think so!"
Jax quickly sees Virus coming and easily flips out of the way. Jax jumps up and executes a devastating dropkick to the back of Virus' head. Jax wasted no time as he started hammering away at the back of the evil monster. He repeated blow after blow without any hesitation in stopping. He wasn't going to allow himself to be absorbed and become apart of Virus. He was now motivated more than ever to defeating the demonic artificial and ensure his survival.
Jax goes flying up into the air and swoops right down at Virus as if he were a falcon swooping in to catch its prey. But in this case, it was Jax using the motivation building up inside which increased his strength in pushing Virus down into the ground. Jax stood there with a sigh of relief but he knew that this battle hasn't been won just yet. He knew that Virus would withstand more than this.
Just then, a shadow loomed from above and Jax quickly reacted. He looked up to see Virus flying down at him mercifully. Jax managed to maneuver to another side as Virus sprawled on all fours on the ground. Virus begins to lash out his spiked tail at Jax, in order to absorb him. Jax flips backwards and gets ready.
"You're trying to absorb me! You freak!"
Virus charges right at Jax and began to throw multiple punches right at his adversary. Jax goes to nail Virus but the evil monster was able to maneuver to the side with great speed. Jax goes flying up into the air in which he plans to lure Virus right in. Virus goes in and the two artificials trade blows amongst one another. But it was not looking good for Jax as Virus was easily dodging every punch being thrown at him.
But soon Jax was getting his game face on and was putting more focus on taking out his adversary with his multiple punches. Now the tables were turned against Virus, but soon Virus would gain the upper hand as his tail quickly was charging right for Jax. Now Jax was dodging Virus' tail with great difficulty. Things were definitely not looking good for the artificial at the moment.
Paildramon could only watch on as he pondered on what to do next. He has to get back into the action, in order to protect the artificial and make sure that he doesn't get absorbed.
"Davis, we have to stop him now! We're wasting time and I don't think Jax has any chance of escaping this alive."
"Well then, lets show him what we're made of," Davis' voice replied in Pailadramon.
While Jax was dodging Virus and avoiding his deadly stinger at every swipe that was being thrown at him, he quickly gets overwhelmed as Virus hits him and grabs Jax. Virus then picks Jax up over his head and slams him down hard onto the ground.
Jax felt his body being crunched down and he felt tremendous pain erupting throughout his whole body. Virus slowly approaches the helpless artificial with a cruel smirk on his face. Now there wasn't anything for Jax to do unless Paildramon decides to get back into the action.
Virus steps over towards Jax's fallen body and wrenches his foot back. Jax watches on as he gets kicked up into the air. Virus quickly flies up and drives an elbow into the gut of Jax with tremendous force behind the blow. Jax falls to the ground and lays there with a glazed look on his face. He couldn't even see where he was at and couldn't even move a muscle. He was pretty much done for as far as fighting Virus was concerned.
Virus walks over towards Jax and begins to stomp away at him. Virus continues on and keeps stomping a mud hole into Jax and quickly puts the boots to Jax's torso. The artificial coughs out in pain as he felt his body being booted and stomped down into the ground.
Black War Greymon and Sonja could only look on with Sonja's eyes widening in fear. Now everything was turning for the worst for the artificials. Sonja knew that Virus would be after her without a doubt. She could only imagine how gruesome it would be to be absorbed and have her free will taken away from such a horrible creature.
"Sonja. Jax doesn't stand a chance at the moment. In a matter of moments, he will be absorbed by Virus."
"So, what are we doing standing around here for?! We have to help him! Please, Black War Greymon?!"
"No. If we attack him now, there's a good chance that Virus will snatch and absorb you. I suggest you leave here."
"Me leave here? But I'm not the type to run away from a fight. No way."
"Well, there's nothing you can do at this point of time. Your power is nowhere near Jax's and he alone is getting pummeled into oblivion."
"But we can fight him together. Then we can get Jax away from here and you can help protect us."
"You make it easy as you say it sounds. But it is now easy. Its risky and that is why I suggest you go. Virus only has interest in absorbing you and Jax, but not me. You should leave me here to fight Virus alone."
"But what about Paildramon? He's probably going to get in the way."
"So be it. Its best we work together anyway. Our common enemy at this moment is Virus."
"True, we do share a common enemy. So what do you plan on doing now?"
"I will kill Virus."
"What?!"
"I realized how precious life is here on earth. Life here is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I will not allow Virus to destroy nature itself. He is a parasite to both worlds."
"So you intend in going through with this?"
"Yes. You should go now, when you still have the chance."
Black War Greymon goes walking towards the battlefield and he has his eyes locked onto the battle that was taking place between Virus and Jax. Sonja could only look on with concern on her face.
"No! Wait! Please, Black War Greymon. If you go out there, you'll get killed."
"Sonja. In life, you have to make decisions that will not only help others but to sacrifice your own self in the process. I intend on doing this."
With that said, Black War Greymon heads off towards the battlegrounds as he put his game face on. Now he was more than ready in taking on Virus with everything he's got.
Paildramon could only look on with a shocked look on his face. He couldn't believe that Black War Greymon was making his way towards the battlegrounds.
"Man, what the hell does Black War Greymon think he's doing?! Either, he's really strong or he's just plain nuts," Paildramon said.
"Maybe a little bit of both, who knows? But, this will allow us more time to recover, Paildramon," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
"He maybe the solution to the Virus problem and we're going to need his help!"
Back onto the battlefield, Virus walks over towards the fallen Jax and snatches him up by his collar. Jax struggles as Virus tightens his grip on the artificial.
"The time has come, Jax. Come here and I shall absorb you into my being."
"Ugh. No, you… You monster… You disgust me… Nothing would be more revolting than to merge with a monster like you!"
"Awww, your words hurt me. But that's ok. Because in time no at all, you're going to become apart of me and I shall gain more ground as the most powerful warrior in two worlds. You're just the energy boost that I really need after all. We shall make Datamon proud once we eliminate every single Digi-Destined that dares oppose our power."
Virus watches as his tail begins to rise above his head and hovering from above Jax. Jax could look on as a shadow began to loom over him. As he looked up, he could see the tip of Virus' tail expanding as if it were a vacuum cleaner. Virus pushes it down over on top of Jax's head and he was more than ready to suck him right up to absorb him into his being. Jax could only lift his arms up and lift the tail off of his head but he couldn't since most of his strength was sapped away and his body was aching from the devastating pounding that he had taken.
Virus begins laughing as he pushes down and watches Jax struggle under the pressure being put on him. Suddenly, he felt something tap over his shoulder. Virus turns his eyes and sees Black War Greymon standing there. But as soon as Virus turns around, Black War Greymon decks him right in the face. Virus goes flying back as Jax falls onto the ground while catching his breath.
Virus goes flying yards away from the artificials and manages to land on his feet in time. Jax comes to his senses and looks up to see none other than Black War Greymon. He was quite surprised to see him but now he felt more confident with Black War Greymon at his side.
"Black War Greymon! It's you! I can't believe it! How did you do that?"
"Do what? All I did was make sure he didn't even absorb you, Jax. All I did was punch the crap out of him."
"I see. So, what are you going to do now?! What do you expect to do to him?!"
"I'm going to destroy Virus once and for all."
"Oh sure. And how will you carry out that proposition?!"
"According to my calculations, I am strong as Virus."
"You're kidding?! There's no way that you're as strong as he is! That's just not possible."
"Watch and learn, Jax. You'll now get to see the true depth of my real power."
"Alright then. Just don't die on us."
"I won't."
Black War Greymon calmly walks over towards Virus and stands his ground. Virus looks up to face him.
"Virus, I suggest you surrender now!"
"What? Surrender to a bucket of crap such as yourself?!"
Black War Greymon didn't take Virus' insult too kindly and quickly charges right at him. Virus reacts to this and heads out towards Black War Greymon with his tail lashed out. Black War Greymon and Virus trade blows amongst each other in the air and it seemed like a pretty even battle going on. Virus was punching with everything he got but Black War Greymon was able to maneuver away from each punch being thrown at him. Black War Greymon did the same to Virus but Virus was able to maneuver to the side to avoid being hit.
"Wow! Black War Greymon is really holding him off on his own! Looks like we won't need our help after all," said Paildramon.
Black War Greymon sees an opening during the slugfest and nails a kick to the abdomen of Virus. Virus goes flying down into the ground. Black War Greymon swoops down and spins into a tornado.
"Black Tornado!"
Black War Greymon uses his might and his powerful tornado spin to add more power to his shot and nails Virus with a clear open shot and the evil artificial goes flying back due to the tremendous force. Black War Greymon quickly flies over towards Virus with his claws ready to slice him in half but Virus quickly maneuvers to the side. Black War Greymon goes for a claw swipe but Virus sidesteps it and quickly lashes out his tail. Black War Greymon swipes the tail aside with his claws and delivers a head butt to Virus. Virus goes flying back with a dent into the monster's forehead. Black War Greymon goes flying right at him yet again and forms a red energy ball in his hands. He pushes back and then thrusts them forwards.
"Terra Destroyer!"
Black War Greymon pushes the energy ball right at Virus and watches it go hurtling towards the monster. Virus sees it coming and barely was able to maneuver to the side. Black War Greymon swipes at Virus but misses as Virus ducks under. Virus sprawls on all fours and swings his tail out, but Black War Greymon jumps up to avoid being tripped off of his own feet. Virus flies up and meets up with Black War Greymon in the air. They both go flying down and collide with one another. A huge explosion occurs in one portion in the landscape and it caused the ground around them to explode. Then Virus flies on over towards Black War Greymon and tosses more energy balls right at Virus, but Virus was able to use his stealth ness to avoid being hit by anyone of the energy balls.
"Catch this!"
Virus lashes out his tail and manages to stab the tip of it into Black War Greymon's neck. A sadistic smile comes across the face of Virus as he plans on absorbing the powerful mega artificial. Jax and Sonja looked on with shocked look on their faces. They now feared the worst to come, has Black War Greymon failed them already?!
"I have you now, Black War Greymon! Resistance is pointless now! Your energy shall be refreshing! Now hold still, this won't take long."
"Oh no! If he absorbs Black War Greymon, then we're done for! Davis, any bright ideas?" asked Paildramon.
"You're looking at me?! Your the one with all the muscle!"
Black War Greymon kneeled to the ground as if Virus was already absorbing his energy within an instant. It wouldn't be long now for Black War Greymon to have his energy taken away. Virus will now use it to become the most powerful force in two worlds.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Yes, it is pointless to resist now, Black War Greymon! There's no chance of you escaping my evil grip! I will have all of your energy and you shall be the boost that I need in combating the two artificials and eventually taking their energy as well. My full evolution shall come true!"
Virus' body started to glow as energy started to flow through his artificial body. He felt his power increasing and his muscles tightening but then he felt all of that power leaving him and he couldn't even absorb any energy. He couldn't understand it. He looked over at Black War Greymon and noticed him smiling.
"What's this?!"
Black War Greymon grabs a hold of the tip of Virus' tail and pulls it out of his neck.
"But, how is that possible?!"
"Not in my design. Datamon created me out of mechanical parts! I have no biological implants like the other artificials or yourself."
"Ah so, you're a prototype made from Datamon?! That makes sense now! But that doesn't make any difference! I will still defeat you!"
"No. That's where you're wrong, Virus. It goes the other way around!"
With that being said, Black War Greymon snatches Virus by his tail and hoists him up into the air. Virus goes struggling and screeching in shock. Black War Greymon then proceeds to slam Virus down into the ground. Virus lies there with piles of rubble all over him. Black War Greymon walks on over towards the fallen Virus and prepares to make his next attack. Virus quickly goes flying up into the air in hopes of avoiding Black War Greymon but the dark mega was able to phase out and reappear alongside Virus in the air. This caught Virus by surprise as he halted backwards and shoots a beam right at Black War Greymon. Black War Greymon maneuvers to the side.
"Take this! Howling Blaster!"
Virus shoots out a blue flame out of his mouth and used one of Garurumon's trademark attacks. Black War Greymon spun into a tornado and was able to phase it out. That only infuriated Virus more as he prepares for another attack.
"Giga Cannon!"
Virus shoots out two large blasts from out of his hands and sends them hurtling towards Black War Greymon. They both collided with the dark mega and exploded right in his face. Virus watched on as a cloud of smoke was started to come about from the explosion that had just occurred. Suddenly, something was coming from right at the side of Virus. He turns around and sees Black War Greymon grabbing for him but Virus is able to duck under. Virus goes behind and wraps his tail around Black War Greymon's neck and latches himself onto the mighty mega. Virus holds his hands out and starts to form balls of energy in his hands. He looks to blast Black War Greymon with two shots, but Black War Greymon shoots out two beams from his eyes and they go burning right through Virus' left shoulder. Virus lets out a scream as Black War Greymon picks up Virus and plants him with a power bomb down into the ground below.
As a result of the impact being made from the move that Black War Greymon executed, Virus is laid out in a deep hole. He could barely move and he looked up to see Black War Greymon flying down right where he was laying. Black War Greymon rams his foot onto Virus' tail, mainly on the tip of his tail. Black War Greymon then grabs a hold of the tip of Virus' tail and goes tugging on it. Virus struggles to break free. Black War Greymon was too much to overcome. Black War Greymon presses his foot down harder on Virus' tail and uses his unbelievable strength to actually rip the tip of his tail right off. Virus goes screaming out in bloody horror as he watched Black War Greymon throw the torn off tail to the side.
The tail started to wiggle around as if it were a lizard's tail. Black War Greymon forms two energy balls in his hands and formed them to become bigger. He then hoisted the two balls right at the torn off tail.
"Terra Destroyer!"
The two large energy balls penetrated through the torn off tail and quickly disintegrated it. A large explosion took place as a large hole was formed in the ground. The tail was no more and Virus had nothing to use to absorb any more victims. He was rendered powerless.
The two artificials could not believe it. Neither could Paildramon. Black War Greymon has taken care of the tail problem and is ready to put away Virus for good.
"Now, you got nothing to absorb, you piece of waste," Black War Greymon said, "Your doom has come at hand!"
Virus sprawled backwards as he looked up at Black War Greymon with fear in his eyes. Now he had his power source take away from him. So Black War Greymon can just finish him off at any given opportunity.
"Yeah! Black War Greymon did it! Virus is done for," Paildramon said, "Looks like this battle has been won!"
But as soon as he said that, Virus started laughing as he looked up at Black War Greymon. But now he was laughing, what is this creature up to now? His tail is gone and now he's laughing?
"A clever move on your part Black War Greymon. That was very clever. You couldn't have done much better."
Virus stands up on his two feet and he didn't even seem to be in any kind of pain any longer. Now he seemed to be really calm.
"But you have no idea what hidden power lies within me. Allow me to demonstrate."
Virus clenched his fists and screeched out as something was starting to come from the torn portion of his tail. Then out of the deep wound, came a brand new tail with freshly gooey slime around it. Virus felt his lost power coming right back to him and felt much stronger than before. Yes, he had performed the regeneration of lost tails performed by lizards. The artificials were quickly caught by surprise of this, and so was Paildramon. He couldn't believe at what he was seeing.
"Impossible!"
"Man! What's it going to take to beat this freak?!" Davis exclaimed in Paildramon's thoughts.
Virus waved his new, regenerated tail around and formed a smile across his face.
"Ahhh, the process of regeneration. I would like to thank Datamon for giving me that ability. It may not be performed by any digimon but Datamon managed to collect DNA samples from some of earth's living creatures. Reptiles are such an amazing race. Yes, I am the best of every single living creature on two worlds."
Black War Greymon gets into a fighting stance as he prepares to face off against Virus again, in what maybe a very brutal encounter. Paildramon gets ready as he looks on the battlefield. He is willing to go in and lend Black War Greymon a hand when needed.
Virus stood there as he was facing off against Black War Greymon. An intense stare down was taking place as the artificials and Paildramon looked on with shocked looks on their faces. It was just a little while ago that Virus had performed the regeneration process to regenerate his lost tail.
"I never expected that from Virus. He was able to regenerate his lost tail," Paildramon said, "Looks like we got our work cut out for us."
"No kidding, Paildramon. I can only expect the worst to come. Ugh if only the other guys can hurry on over here and lend us a hand. This is getting freakier and freakier by the minute," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
Virus lashed out his newly grown tail and small drops of green liquid came dripping onto the ground. The green liquid started to eat its way through the ground as if it were acid. In fact, it was acid. This creature actually had acid for blood. How could a creature survive with acid within his body? He must have some sort of strong immunity system that prevents him from being effected by the acid blood.
Virus looked over at Black War Greymon as an evil grin came across his face. Black War Greymon was not amused and he was ready for more action yet again. He plans on taking out Virus and does not plan on losing this fight.
"My calculations didn't detect that action. So you were able to regenerate yourself. I underestimated you. But you won't be so lucky next time. This time, I'll rip off your damn head!"
"Ha! Ha! You'll have to catch me first, Black War Greymon."
Virus charges up as a bright aura formed around him. He was beginning to increase his ki, as he was now ready to get it on once again with Black War Greymon. Black War Greymon charges head on and went to punch Virus but the sleek artificial goes leaping back to avoid being hit. Black War Greymon flies right after Virus in order to nail him but Virus was able to maneuver away in order to keep himself at a long distance away from Black War Greymon. Virus lures the mighty mega in and goes flying right at Black War Greymon. Virus sees an opening and executes an ax handle blow to Black War Greymon's face. Black War Greymon goes stumbling back, which allowed Virus more time to attack Black War Greymon head on. Virus executes a spinning kick and sends Black War Greymon flying back onto the ground.
Jax slowly makes it to his feet and looks on with a shocked look on his face. He was favoring his left arm, which was injured after being attacked by Virus earlier ago.
"Go get him, Black War Greymon! Don't stop now!"
"Now it's time for you to die now!" Virus cried out angrily.
Virus charges up his ki. He flies right on over towards the fallen Black War Greymon. He plans on attacking him while he was down. But Virus did not expect of what was now going to happen next. As Virus draws nearer, Black War Greymon flips up onto his feet and takes off his Brave Shield on his back. He then throws it right at Virus as if it were a boomerang. The large shield was sent hurtling and it connected with Virus' face as the crafty creature goes flying back. He hits the ground and lies there almost motionless. Black War Greymon slowly walks on over towards the nearly unconscious Virus and picks him up over his head. He then tosses him down onto the ground but this time Virus was sent plowing through the ground as a large hole formed from the impact of Virus' hard fall. Black War Greymon was now satisfied as he was gaining the upper hand. But he knew it was going to take more to defeat Virus like that.
Black War Greymon flies up and looks on down over the large crater created from the impact. He charges up as a large red, energy ball formed over his head. He holds it with his arms and begins to charge it even more. Now the energy ball was even bigger than his whole body.
"Wow! That's like War Greymon's Terra Force," Sonja said, "But his Terra Destroyer seems powerful enough. Now it's even bigger than last time! I hope Black War Greymon knows what he's doing!"
"Terra Destroyer!"
Black War Greymon pushes back and throws the large energy ball into the large crater and watched as it went down the hole. In a matter of moments, there was a large explosion that was beginning to crack the ground above. Beams of energy started to penetrate from the ground as a result and a large earthquake was taking place. After that, a huge explosion takes place as a bright flash of light took place amongst the entire island.
Jax, Sonja and Paildramon could only watch on in awe at what they had just seen. This was definitely out of this world. It seemed as though the Terra Destroyer was actually more powerful than the Terra Force. But was it enough to actually put Virus away for good this time? Time will only tell and it only matters if Virus wasn't able to maneuver away from the huge blast. It was more likely that he was engulfed in the huge blast in itself.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Yolei was on her way over towards the islands while riding on her faithful partner, Aquillamon. Yolei began to pick up some energy signals through her D-3 and Aquillamon was able to detect several high kis over at the islands.
"Can you sense anything, Aquillamon?"
"Yes. There are four large kis collected in one area. One of them seems to have already decreased dramatically."
"You think that could have been, Virus?"
"I'm not sure but lets hope its not Paildramon!"
"Ugh! If Davis is able to fuse with his digimon partner, then I should be able to as well. I'm not just going to just sit back and let Davis take all of the credit for himself! I'm taking action and I don't care how powerful Virus really is! It takes heart and determination to win a battle! And I intend on doing that! I won't let my friends down! Ken, I won't let you down! Wow, I can't believe I just said that."
With that said, Yolei's D-3 began to glow as it reacted to her emotions and began to feed upon it as a major boost to what was about to come in just a few moments. She felt her body growing stronger and a red aura formed around her. The same happened with Aquillamon. Now their minds and souls were being merged with one another. The next fusion was now going to take place and its Yolei's turn.
They both faced each other and begun to encircle each other in a stream of red light.
[Digimon Adventure 02 theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
"Aquillamon! Fusion Shinka!"
Then both of them came together in a bright flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, a tall and sleek figure stood there with hawk-like legs, a bird-like body, a humanoid face and a helmet that covered the upper portion of her head. A belt buckle formed around her waist and red, spiky feather-like hair formed on her head. It was more of a half bird, half human appearance. The figure then got into a fighting stance and was ready to get into action.
"Silphymon!"
Silphymon looked at herself and was quite impressed at what she was looking at. This was her fusion form. It was both Yolei and Aquillamon put together. Now she has a mixture of both Yolei and Aquillamon.
[Silphymon. Ultimate Fusion. Data Type. Special Techniques: Static Force]
"This is awesome. Now I'm a fighter! Now this is what I call a fusion! Aquillamon, are you there?"
"Loud and clear!"
"I say we get on over there and kick some artificial butt!"
"I'm with you!"
Silphymon looks forward and quickly detects several energy levels close her. She flies on over towards the islands and she only had on agenda. That is to aid her allies and defeat Virus.
"Man, aren't my friends at school going to be jealous that I got to fight and save the world! Man, I feel great! I have Aquillamon's power and grace. Wait till Ken gets a load of us!"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at the secret training grounds, Agumon and Gatomon quickly picked up the kis from where the battle was taking place. They were also able to detect Silphymon's ki as well.
"Kari! I feel an energy level coming right for the islands! It seems we got a new fusion on our hands," Gatomon said.
"Who is it?" Kari asked. "It's Yolei and Aquillamon. They fused. They're now Silphymon and boy they got quite a ki," Agumon stated, "They're fresh. So they may have a chance."
"Yolei and Aquillamon? Wow, the new kids were able to catch on much quicker than I thought," Tai said.
"Plus Virus' energy has taken a huge drop since the last attack from the last fighter," Agumon said.
"Have any idea who it maybe?" asked Tai.
"No. I don't know but he's holding Virus as much as he can, whoever it maybe."
"Lets just hope it stays that way," Azulongmon said.
***************************************************************************************
Moments later, as the smoke starts to clear away, Black War Greymon stands there with his claws smoking up and his body aching with pain. he had given most of his energy to form that large Terra Destroyer and it took a toll on his own artificial body. He looks down the large crater and notices that Virus isn't there.
The two artificials could not believe it. They couldn't believe one of their own was able to put Virus away for good, once and for all.
"I don't believe it but Black War Greymon is stronger. He is an amazing fighter," Jax said.
"He did it! He killed Virus!" exclaimed Sonja excitedly.
"You did it! You squashed that freak," Jax replied.
Black War Greymon turned to face the artificials and he looked rather upset. He didn't understand why the artificials were still standing around mindlessly and not aware of any upcoming danger that may present itself.
"What are you two still doing here?! You should have left the island like I told you too!"
"What ever for? You took care of the problem," Sonja said.
"That attack alone did not kill him! I did not defeat him! It was not enough to destroy him! I'm telling you two to leave at once before he finds you!"
Jax slowly starts to regain his confidence as a smile formed across his face. Now it was becoming an evil grin.
"What are you talking about, Black War Greymon? You destroyed him. With us by your side, no one can come against us. This whole planet will become our own little playground," Jax rambled on.
But as soon as he says his last words, a dark shadow starts to loom over him and a figure starts to rise from out of a hole from behind him. Its eyes were glowing a crimson red
"Jax! He's behind you! Look out!" Paildramon exclaimed towards Jax to catch his attention.
But as soon as Jax turned around, he saw the evil and merciless Virus. Virus opens his stinger and puts it over Jax. Jax tries to move away but it was too late, the opened stinger caught him.
"You should have listened to your friend!"
Jax attempts to struggle in order to break free. However, it was too late. Virus had now begun sucking in Jax through his stinger and into his tail. Soon, Jax was being sucked right inside of Virus. Black War Greymon came charging in, so that he would intervene and stop Virus, but it was done. Jax was gone and the first step to evolution was complete.
Then Virus starts to scream a horrifying, blood-curling scream and a white light starts to form all around him. Now his ki was beginning to increase dramatically.
"Oh no! This is horrible! What a horrifying ki!" Paildramon said, "My body was too battered to even stop him when we had the damn chance!"
"No! If only Leomon hasn't been killed! We could have beaten Virus for sure but we all let our guard down. Tai is so going to kill us," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
Virus begins to scream in joy as his current form was starting to change. Black War Greymon stops at the moment as all of the white light was beginning to blind him. Virus' spots on his body begin to glow brighter and the ground around him was starting to cave into the ground below. Virus' feet also start to change. His three toes start to fuse with one another to form a boot-like foot. Soon, Virus' forehead also starts to change as well as some of his facial characteristics.
***************************************************************************************
Gatomon and Agumon quickly began to sense his ki as they gasped in fear. Tai and Kari turned to face them.
"Gatomon, what's wrong?"
"Agumon? Did something happen?"
"Its worse than we feared," a voice called out. "I'm afraid Virus was able to absorb one of the artificials. This is not good news indeed."
"Is that you X?" Tai asked.
"In the flesh," the masked fighter said as he appears in front of the group.
"So you're aware of what has happened until now?" Kari asked.
"I've been aware of everything ever since the artificials attacked Kyoto," X replied. "By the way, I just checked out the battle site. It's true. Virus has just absorbed an artificial."
"No! It can't be!" Tai angrily cried out.
"Virus' energy level has sky rocketed," Agumon said, "Yes, he has absorbed one of the artificials."
"Yeah. That's the only logical explanation," Gatomon replied.
"Those two better hurry up in that time room," X said. "I take it that the room should be enough to benefit you're needs."
"We won't know until Matt and Dimitri walk out," Kari said. "Then we'll judge it from there."
"Damn! Things aren't looking good for our side. If only Matt and Dimitri finished their digimon training to fusion ascension by now," Tai said in thoughts.
***************************************************************************************
As soon as the light on Virus began to slowly dim away, his new form now stands there with an electrifying feel to it. Now his insect-like wings were gone. Instead of a lizard-like beak, his face was more amphibian-like. But his body structure was more human-like unlike his previous reptilian-looking form. His tail was now more of a red-color and it was attached to his back. His muscles are much larger than before and he has more of a forehead. A blue-metallic ki glowed all around his body; this was the aura color of Metal Garurumon. Virus even possesses the ki abilities of each of the strongest digimon warriors. His voice was deepened as a result of the transformation, which signified a sign of puberty.
"Yes. Just one more step to complete evolution..."
Virus stood there as he examined his newly transformed body. A smile came across his face as his body began to surge with electrical energy. Black War Greymon could only look on with a shocked expression on his face. He could easily read Virus' ki-level. Black War Greymon's plan was to retreat and set up a new attack strategy.
Black War Greymon runs right over towards Sonja. She could easily tell that he was more frightened than ever before. If this was the case, then Virus must have really reached to a whole new level of power that dwarfed his maximum strength.
"Sonja! We must leave not! Before it is too late! Paildramon, you better go as well!"
"You don't have to tell me twice," Paildramon replied.
Virus continues to examine his body and he begins to throw several punches into the air, in order to test out his punching coordination. Everything seemed to be perfect at the moment but Virus is really looking forward to reaching to his final form, that's if he is able to absorb Sonja into his being.
"So this is how it feels like. It's amazing. I could get used to this."
Black War Greymon charges up and flies away and past Virus. He has a hold of Sonja as he looks to make his escape getaway off of the island. But that would not be the case as Virus turns to see them. Then, he charged up his ki and flies right on over towards where Black War Greymon was flying. Black War Greymon tried to boost his speed in order to get towards the edge of the island but then he felt a tremendous energy appear out of nowhere and right in front of him. Black War Greymon stopped at his tracks as he now came toe to toe with Virus. Virus stood right in front of Black War Greymon. Now the monster's speed has increased tremendously as well as his power.
"No! Its worst than I feared! Hes stronger than even me now," Black War Greymon replied in total shock.
Virus stood there as a huge grin forms across his face. His new facial features were even intimidating enough to even put chills down the spine of Black War Greymon.
"Where do you think you two are going? You can't escape from me. My power has increased tremendously and you are very much helpless at the moment right now."
"No! This isn't looking good! I better do something and stop him from absorbing that artificial! I should have stopped him from getting to Jax when I had the damn chance! Ugh, damn injuries," Paildramon said.
Virus walks over towards a water hole and looks down at his reflection. Now he was able to look down at his reflection and take a look at his newly evolved face for the first time. No longer was it insect-like, more fish-like instead.
"So this is what I look like when I change. I like it! Hopefully after absorbing Sonja will definitely be the complete makeover I will need."
Just then, Black War Greymon came out of nowhere and drills a fist into Virus' face. Virus' head goes snapping back as Black War Greymon waited until Virus would fly back after a tremendous impact from a single punch. But that was not the case here. Black War Greymon gasped and his eyes widened. He couldn't even believe that one punch wouldn't even budge Virus. Black War Greymon backed away as Virus continues to grin.
Virus puts his hand out and holds it right towards Black War Greymon. A energy beam was beginning to power up. Sonja took notice of this and turned to face Black War Greymon.
"Black War Greymon! Look out!"
But as soon as she said that, Virus shoots out a blast and it nails Black War Greymon. The mighty mega gets thrown off course as he goes flying back and crashing down into the ground. Black War Greymon felt half of his face being shattered away into pieces. Virus looked down to see Black War Greymon with half of his metallic face being shattered off. Several circuitries began to slowly malfunction in his head as he was starting to lose some of his vision. It looks as though Black War Greymon's brain is actually a large computer chip and it has now become severely damaged and it could cause him to malfunction at any given opportunity.
"Great! Looks like we'll have to get our feet wet after all," Paildramon said.
"I sure hope you're up for this," Davis replied in Paildramon's thoughts.
Virus turns to face Sonja with a cruel smile on his face. He points to the female artificial.
"Now, my dear artificial. Come to me. Join with me and together we shall help complete my full evolution. Please, it is your destiny. Our destiny to be precise."
"No, I'll never merge with you! You self-conceited bastard!"
Virus continues to march towards Sonja but then he stops as Sonja places her hand over her hand. A small hatchet appears on the palm of her hand and she looks to push it at any time.
"You better get back or I'll self-destruct. I'm warning you, Virus. I'll detonate anytime."
"So, you're going to kill yourself?"
"Yes. Anything is better than to merge with you!"
"Hmmm. well, I think I know somebody who has a totally different opinion for that one."
Virus clears his throat and suddenly his voice changes to that of Jax's. It sounded much similar. In fact, it was Jax's voice and Virus was using. It could be another one of Virus' mind games.
"Hey Sonja. What's up? Don't be afraid. It's me, Jax. I know it's very hard to understand but you need to realize that we were meant to become apart of Virus. We were destined for this, as Datamon had wished for. So, let us make Datamon proud. We are his creations."
"Datamon? Proud of us?"
"Yes. So if you merge with Virus, it will all become very clear now. Look, you see. I'm fine and you'll be safe as well, nothing will happen to you once Virus absorbs you. Very painless."
"No! Don't listen to him! Virus is just using Jax's voice to trick you," Black War Greymon replied.
"Shut up, you fool. You only have half a brain anyway, so what's it to you? Now, please continue Jax."
Suddenly, Sonja could see an image of Jax in place of Virus. She looked in total surprise at who she was looking at. It was Jax and he looked to be fine even after being absorbed.
"Are you sure?"
"Sonja, you think I would ever lie to you? C'mon, you've known me for a long time since Datamon created us. So join with us, and you will realize the true depth of our power."
Sonja then began to realize that she was being tricked the whole time. She could easily hear Virus' voice behind the disguised voice of Jax. She did not buy into his gibberish crap.
"You're not Jax! I know your just using his voice! Jax loved who he was and he would never want to become apart with a heartless monster such as yourself! You won't take my free will away just for your own selfish greed! He even considered his life as a little game to him! He would never want to join you in the first place. You get any closer and I'll detonate!"
"No! You are mine whether you like it or not! I really don't care if you decide to blow yourself up! But just think, it only takes about ten seconds for your explosion to set off, but it will only take me half of that time to catch up to you and absorb you into my being."
"Kiss my ass."
"Sonja. Think about it. You need to charge up enough power to detonate and I will prevent you from doing so. Like I said, you'll only need a handful of seconds to charge up when I need a mere second to get to you."
Virus walks over towards Sonja as he prepares to absorb her. Sonja starts to step back while holding her hand as she prepares to set off her detonation button. Virus inches closer but then a shadow looms over him from above. Virus looks up to see who it is and he was quite surprised at who he was looking at. It wasn't Paildramon but it was Silphymon.
"What?! What does that no-counter think he's going to do?!"
Silphymon is standing there as he looks down at Virus. He held his hands together and targeted Virus.
"Who is that?" Sonja pondered, "Wait I can feel some familiar energy coming from this one."
"Yolei?! Aquillamon?! Is that you two?" asked Paildramon.
"Yes! Its our newest look!" Silphymon replied.
"Actually it was my whole idea," Yolei thought.
"We'll take care of this from here!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"Good luck," Paildramon said.
Silphymon looks down right at Virus and began charging up a ball of energy in his hands.
[Digimon 02 theme "Target" by Akai Shougeki plays in the background without the chorus to it]
"I maybe just another obstacle for you, big guy. But we're going to be one hell of an obstacle to overcome! Take this you! Static Force!"
Silphymon shoots down the energy blast and sends it right at Virus. Virus sees it coming but wasn't fast enough to maneuver away as the blast knocked him right back a few yards away.
"Wow! Yolei and Aquillamon must have really wished for this fusion to happen," Paildramon said, "Their combined forms have given them quite a tremendous ki!"
"Lets just hope that they can hold them off for much longer," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
As the smoke clears from the huge blast, there is an immense hole in the ground, with Virus in it. He survived the blast not so surprisingly. But yet Silphymon could hardly see anything in the hole.
"Alright. I know you're down there. Come out and get it," Silphymon said.
He then looked over towards Sonja and called out to her.
"What are you still doing here, Sonja?! Get out of here now!"
Sonja nodded in agreement and turned over towards Black War Greymon.
"We have to go! C'mon Black War Greymon! Can you at least fly out of here, even with the damage that has been caused to you?"
"Yes. I can try."
Black War Greymon seemed to be out of it but he was more than willing to help Sonja off of the island, in order to avoid Virus. Paildramon goes and flies off the island in order to call for the others.
"Davis. I got an idea. Maybe if we return back to Odaiba, we can probably use that device that Izzy is creating at the moment," Paildramon said.
"What device?"
"You'll see. It's going to be very essential, if we plan on shutting down those artificials and preventing Virus from absorbing Sonja."
"Oh. In that case, we better hurry along! Man I just hope Yolei and Aquillamon know what they're doing."
Meanwhile, Silphymon powers up and fires down several more Static Forces down into the hole. Virus tries flying back up from within the deep pit but keeps getting knocked back down into the hole. Silphymon was doing everything that he can to keep Virus at bay and allow the artificials some time to make their escape off of the island.
***************************************************************************************
Agumon and Gatomon were upset as they felt Silphymon's ki.
"Agumon, what's wrong?"
"Its bad, Tai. Silphymon is wasting all of his energy on Virus! If he keeps this up at this rate, he's going to give out!"
"It's true. Silphymon doesn't have the ki to defeat Virus! Yolei is just throwing her own life away!" X stated promptly.
"No! I don't even think that Yolei even knows the true consequences of the power of fusion," said Kari.
"No and that's what is troubling us," Gatomon said, "She and Hawkmon aren't even experienced enough to keep their kis at a constant level."
"He is basically just ruining the whole game plan," Tai said angrily, "Silphymon is using too much energy! He's going to wear out his body and he could very well die! Yolei and Hawkmon will die, if they keep this up."
"Yeah. I can sense their life sources slowly depleting," Agumon replied, "Tai. I say we go and help them!"
"You're right! But lets just wait a little longer and see if Silphymon can really get the job done."
"Then, you two better get your asses in gear!" the masked warrior replied.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the battle, Silphymon is putting up a really good effort as he continues on blasting away his patented 'Static Force' attacks right at Virus. More and more of her energy was slowly depleting as a result of this onslaught that he was using against the crafty, evil artificial.
"Sonja. I don't have… enough… energy to even fly out of here… Go and save yourself," Black War Greymon ordered.
Sonja stubbornly decided to stay and help Black War Greymon to his feet and urge him on to take her to safety.
Silphymon keeps blasting more 'Static Forces' at Virus, as each blast sends Virus down deep into the hole. Can Silphymon even last this long and keep up the momentum? It depends on how much her body can handle releasing more and more energy blasts at this rate.
How much longer can Silphymon even last?! The newly evolved fusion warrior has decided to put his body on the line to keep the evil Virus at bay. Will the artificials make out of the island on time?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Silphymon's Sacrificial Static Force! Yamato and Dimitri Emerge!
Silphymon was still at the island as he was powering up his ki. He looks down at the hole that contained Virus and continued on firing away powerful blasts at the evil monster. Virus tried every attempt to fly out of the hole but every time he came out, a large blast came right at him and knocked him backwards.
Virus was getting quite frustrated and wanted to leave the hole so badly. He was missing out on absorbing Sonja when he had the chance. He let his guard down when he faced against Silphymon and now he has paid the price. Silphymon looks down and looks to make sure that Virus wasn't going to fly out to escape. But as soon as he thought so, Virus did come flying out with an enraged look on his face.
"I don't think so! Static Force!"
Silphymon shoots out a dozen more energy blasts and sends them right at Virus. Even a powerful monster such as Virus, even in his second stage form, was unable to withstand an onslaught of powerful energy blasts from one single fusion digimon.
But it seems as though Silphymon was slowly starting to weaken out as a result of using so much energy in creating more blasts for his attacks. Silpymon's eyes were becoming glazed over and he was unable to focus his energy on creating more of his Static Forces. He was starting to breathe heavily and seemed to be out of breath for some reason.
"Silphymon! We can't give this up! We have to stay focused and keep our mindset on Virus! We have to make sure that the two artificials get the hell off of the island!"
Silphymon turned to face the two artificials and couldn't believe to see that they were still standing there while observing the battle.
"You two better get out of here! We thought we told you to move it! We can barely hold him off any longer, our energy supply is depleting. You know very well that Virus will get to you, Sonja! You better move it!"
"He's right. Lets go, Black War Greymon. Are you up for a little flying at least?"
"Yes. I have more than enough of the last remainder of my energy to fly out of here. Hold onto me."
Sonja latched herself onto Black War Greymon and he slowly started to rise up into the air. Black War Greymon struggled to concrete to keep his balance but he was able to keep his focus intact.
"Great, now lets get out of here."
Black War Greymon slowly heads off towards the oceans with Sonja around his arms. They set off to find another island to locate and to hide away in case Virus decides to find them once again.
Silphymon turns his attention back onto the battle and sees that Virus has already flown right out of the hole. Silphymon releases another energy blast and sends it right for Virus. The blast nails Virus and sends him flying back.
"Static Force!"
Another blast came hurtling out from Silphymon's hands and nailed Virus with a direct target hit. Virus goes flying back and starts to lose some of his momentum. Virus tries again to fly right out and try to pursue the artificials. But he had to avoid being stopped by another one of Silphymon's blasts. Silphymon saw him coming out and formed an energy ball in his hands.
"Static Force!"
Silphymon thrusts his hands forward. He releases another energy blast from the attack, which was sent right at Virus. Virus goes flying back down into the mammoth-sized hole and again he was losing his momentum that he once had before Silphymon was able to stop him. However, all of the energy being wasted was taking a toll on Silphymon's body. He was slowly starting to lose it.
"Oh man. I've never felt so weak in my life. We've used too much energy just to stall some time. I just hope we have more than enough to keep this creep at bay. Oh, here I go again and had to open my big mouth. Now I'm going to have to pay for my mistakes…"
"No, Yolei. We're going to do the best that we can to stall some time, no matter how much energy we lose. Its better than having Virus finding Sonja and absorbing her into his being!"
"Right. Let us not give up. We can do this!"
Silphymon looks back down at the hole and makes sure that Virus isn't on planning on flying out again. But he will stay there as long as Virus is ready to give out, or until he gives out eventually.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at the apartment complex, the other Digi-Destined were all getting anxious as they wondered how the whole situation has been taking place thus far.
"Things aren't looking good for Yolei and Aquillaimon," said Palmon.
"Huh? What's wrong, Palmon?"
"Its Silphymon. He's been doing quite well and has been keeping Virus distracted at the moment but he's putting too much energy in creating those Static Force attacks. If they keep it up, they're going to lose it and run out of energy," Palmon replied.
"Is this true, Biyomon?" asked Sora.
"Yes. Yolei insisted on this. We tried to stop her."
"You can try everything but you all can't stop her. She won't listen, not even to me," Ken said, "She was looking forward in fusing with Hawkmon, so that is why she went off to stop Virus. I guess she wants to prove that she's not just a second-rate Digi-Destined who just sits back while all of the action is taking place elsewhere. But in this case, its not looking good for her."
"So, what do you suggest we do now, Ken?" asked Wormmon.
"What could we do? We're not as strong as any of the fusion digimon. Maybe we can use, Wormmon. But would our combined even be enough to stop Virus. Because get this, Paildramon was having difficulty in fighting Virus right?"
"Yes and Silphymon wouldn't be faring well if he isn't relying too much on his energy," Wormmon said.
"So, what? We just stay here and let this happen to him?" asked Joe.
"Yeah, we might as well. She wanted this and now she has to take care of business herself. Oh well, I guess Virus could knock her upside the head and bring her back to reality," Gomamon remarked.
"Gomamon!" Joe exclaimed.
"What? I'm just proving a point."
"But, he maybe right," replied Cody, "Hopefully she and Hawkmon realize what they're doing isn't the way to go. But I just hope she pulls through with this."
"And Hawkmon hasn't been in a fusion state like this before. It could be disastrous for him if he were to use this amount of energy during his first fusion battle," Armadillomon explained.
"Well. Lets all just hope that Silphymon will pull through with this," Ken said, "Yolei is apart of our team and we will support her in anyway we can."
Wormmon looked up at Ken and noticed him with a sad look on his face. Ken has gotten really close to Yolei and they have been talking to each other for quite a while now. They never seem to see each other eye to eye during the first adventures four years ago, but now they were best friends. Ken just couldn't risk on losing Yolei to a heartless monster who was hell bent on destroying anything in his path.
"Yolei. Hawkmon. You two better hang in there. We're counting on you. If only Wormmon and I were able to fuse, we would be the ones out there assisting you. You don't have to fight these battles alone, Yolei. I hope you realize that," Ken said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Paildramon was on his way over towards Odaiba as he prepared to move on to retrieve the device that Izzy was creating.
"Hopefully that device program has been fully downloaded by now," Paildramon said, "We're going to need it if we hope to destroy Virus."
"No kidding. Maybe we should have stayed to help Silphymon."
"Nah. So far, he's been doing quite well. But I fear that he maybe losing more energy after delivering those big blasts. We really need to hurry on over to get that device."
"Right and who knows better to raise the bar up and race this joint!"
"Ok, I don't know what you meant but I know the meaning of raising the bar! Hang on tight!"
With that said, Paildramon boosted his speed energy and quickly flew over the oceans, in order to get past the long distance towards Odaiba.
**************************************************************************************
Back at the training grounds in the land of Azulongmon, Tai and Kari all sat patiently but soon their patience was wearing thin as the time was passing by. X, Agumon and Gatomon were reading Silphymon's ki and their expressions were pretty much explainable. They were worried and rightfully so, as far as Silphymon's condition was concerned.
"How is he faring?" asked Kari.
"Not good. Silphymon is using the majority of his energy," replied Azulongmon, "At this rate, he will give out soon."
"No! If only they would have stayed behind as they should have," Agumon growled angrily.
"I know what you mean. They should get out of there now and stop this foolishness. They're just going to get themselves killed," Tai said.
"Man. I wish we had more time. Matt and Dimitri need to hurry up. Time is wasting," said Kari.
"Silphymon's ki is quickly diminishing. He's not going to last much longer than this," replied X.
"Ugh. Matt! Dimitri! What the hell are you two doing in there? Virus is gaining an upper hand and we just lost Leomon. We can't afford to lose Silphymon! C'mon, this just isn't happening to us! Not now," Tai said to himself angrily.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at the battle on the island, Silphymon is starting to lose it and he slowly starts to lose his breath. His ki was depleting and he could just give out at any given time. All of the energy being wasted for the last couple of attacks was taking a toll on his body.
"I've never felt this weak before. But we have to keep going! We're here to stop Virus and that's what we plan on doing," Yolei said in Silphymon's thoughts.
"Come on out, big guy! I got another present for you coming along the way!"
Just then, Virus decided to take a chance and fly right on out of the hole and attempt to make a getaway to catching up to the artificials. But Silphymon soon stopped him once again as he shoots out yet another blast.
"Static Force!"
But this time, the blast was much larger and was able to knock Virus away. The evil monster goes flying back and into the hole below in which he would be temporarily immobilized at the moment of time. But it wouldn't last long. Silphymon looks down and sighs a relief. Sweat was coming down his face and his breathe was becoming much more shallow.
"We did it. I think we got him… But we really… need… to… rest…"
As soon as he said that, Silphymon felt his entire body give out on him as he fully loses his consciousness. He falls down and loses his senses. Yes, now Silphymon has suffered the consequences. Yolei felt her body also give out on her.
"I'm sorry you guys… But… we tried… our best… Ken… I'm… sorry…"
Silphymon landed hard on the ground. He quickly loses consciousness and doesn't even make a single movement of muscle. His life and energy sources have now been depleted as a result of this. Not looking good whatsoever for Silphymon.
**************************************************************************************
Azulongmon quickly sensed Silphymon's ki and gasped. Agumon and Gatomon turned to face him.
"He's finally given out. I'm so sorry," Azulongmon said.
"It's true. Silphymon's ki has diminished," X replied.
"No! Silphymon! I really wish that you didn't have to go and stop him," Agumon said.
"Well there goes our game plan," Gatomon replied.
"No we can't afford to lose Yolei and Hawkmon," Kari said.
"I know! We're going to do something about it. Mark my words," replied Tai.
**************************************************************************************
Silphymon lies on the ground motionless and all of his life force was quickly drained away after using many blasts. His body was very much worn out and he couldn't even move an inch of muscle.
As he lied there unconscious, a head came popping out from the deep hole and it was none other than Virus. Virus slowly hovered out of the hole and looked across the landscape. He saw no signs of the artificials, which infuriated him even more.
"Damn them! Sonja and Black War Greymon have all escaped sight!"
Virus turns around and looks over towards the fallen body of Silphymon. His frown made up for his angry emotions, and he wasn't pleased that somebody considered as a 'weakling' to him had stalled him from chasing after the artificials.
"All because of this meddling nuisance."
Virus flies right over towards Silphymon and hovers down towards his fallen body. The evil artificial looked down with a huge frown on his face, which was scary enough to send chills down the spines of many souls. Silphymon was moving just a bit but it wasn't enough for him to revive himself out of his unconscious state.
"You pitiful warrior. Did you really think that you were strong enough to hold me back? I can't believe that such a weakling had the ability to hold me back and to stop me from reaching my full evolution. But now, you shall pay."
With that said, Virus sends his boot right into the ribs of Silphymon and kicks him so hard, it sends him flying back across the landscape. Silphymon flipped over a couple of time before landing hard on his head. Silphymon lied there totally unconscious and he stood no chance in defending himself at this moment of time.
"I really can't believe that such a weakling held me back. Oh well, this world won't miss another weakling once I'm done with you."
Virus held out his hand and pointed it right over to the fallen body of Silphymon. An energy beam was forming in his hand and he was more than ready to wipe out Silphymon out of existence.
"Say goodbye, Miyako and Hawkmon…"
**************************************************************************************
Tai and Agumon stood on their feet, as they couldn't take the pressure much longer. Agumon could sense Virus making his next move and was more than ready in taking him down.
"Are you ready to kick some tail?" asked Tai.
"You bet! I'm not going to stand here and let this action take place! Its time to digivolve!"
Tai's digivice and the power from his crest of courage within his heart all began to power up. This was more than enough energy for Agumon to reach into his true mega form.
"Agumon warp shinka!"
The little dinosaur by passed both his champion and ultimate leveled forms as a huge beam of light shot his body. Then, in his place, stood a cyborg-like warrior with advanced claws and armor.
"War Greymon!"
"Alright, War Greymon! Lead the way!"
"I can pick up their energy signals! Hold on tight!"
Tai and War Greymon placed their fingers on their foreheads as their bodies slowly started to fade away. They were performing their newest technique, the Time Warp.
As they both vanished, Azulongmon watched, as he was quite impressed by their way they displayed the technique.
"Looks like you taught them that technique well," X said.
"It was not I," Azulongmon replied, "But it does come in handy."
"Those two better be careful. Virus is a ravening lunatic," X stated promptly.
"Hopefully he makes it there in time," Kari said, "We can't afford in losing anymore friends."
"Don't worry. I'm sure they can handle Virus. Just believe in them," replied Gatomon.
"Yeah. You're right. No more worrying."
*************************************************************************************
Virus smirked, as he was about to put the finishing touches and destroy Silphymon. But just as he was about to make his move, he gasped and saw none other than War Greymon and Tai standing next to the fallen Siphymon.
"What?! Its War Greymon and… Taichi!" Both looked up at Virus with angry looks on their faces. Virus forms a smirk across his face and he couldn't believe that he has the chance to finally meet Taichi in person for the first time ever. He was quite surprised to see the both of them and he lowers his hand down.
"Well, well. If it isn't Taichi, how gracious to finally meet you."
"Yeah, I'll bet. But I don't share the passion that I have for you."
"Well, is that so? Well, it's pretty obvious that you and War Greymon have come down to challenge me. I'm more than ready in finally killing you once and for all. So, what do you think of my new body?"
"Not impressed just yet. All you done was absorb an artificial and gotten yourself some new powers. But I'll admit, you're quite the fighter. But I don't plan on fighting you now. I really want to teach you a lesson once and for all, but we're not ready," Tai said.
"Then we'll make you pay, Virus! Your days of terrorizing both worlds will be over for good!" War Greymon exclaimed.
"Ha! Is that so? Well don't mind me if I laugh! You defeat me? How very unlikely. Do you really think you can carry out to that demand? I guess we shall see."
"You bet!"
"Tai. I feel some ki around here. And it's not coming from just Silphymon. But another being."
"Who?"
"It's… It's… Leomon!"
"Leomon?"
"What?!" Virus exclaimed, "But he's dead!"
"Hang in there, Leomon!" War Greymon exclaimed.
He flew right over towards the nearby ocean shores and saw Leomon's body lying there. He kneels next to Leomon and picks him up.
"Impossible! I've killed him! Grr, I shouldn't have been so careless," Virus said.
War Greymon places Leomon on his left shoulder and kneels next to Silphymon.
"Don't worry, guys. We're going to get you back to Azulongmon as soon as possible and we're going to get you on your feet in no time," Tai said.
"You bet," War Greymon replied.
"No, Taichi. You and War Greymon shall fuse into Omega X and fight me here and now!" Virus exclaimed.
Tai and War Greymon turned to see Virus flying right at them. Everything seems to be going in slow motion as Virus heads right over to where Tai and War Greymon are standing. They were ready to make their next move but they had another idea. Just as Virus was going to rise his fist and make his first attack, Tai and War Greymon quickly vanished out of nowhere along with Leomon and Silphymon.
Virus stood there in complete shock and punched nothing but air. His eyes widened and he couldn't believe that they had just disappeared out of nowhere and so quickly.
"Where did they go? Wow, that was some trick. I wonder how they learned to do that."
Virus flies over the landscape and surveyed the area in search for Tai and War Greymon. But there were no signs of them, and now he stopped his search. He was ready to move on with his mission.
"Well, that won't be the last time that they escape from me. Now it's time to proceed and continue my search for Sonja. I will reach my full evolution, even if it requires me in destroying this worthless planet."
Virus flies across the landscape and makes his way off of the island. He headed towards the oceans as he continues his search for the artificials, more specifically Sonja. He vowed to find her and absorb her into his being.
***************************************************************************************
Back at Azulongmon's training grounds, Tai and War Greymon returned back with Silphymon and Leomon. Kari and Gatomon ran over towards them.
"Leomon is still alive?" asked Kari, "Oh thank god."
"Yes, but they will need to be revived by Azulongmon. Can you do that for us?" asked Tai.
"Yes, I will use one of my digi cores and it shall help revive them."
"Thank you, Azulongmon," said War Greymon.
"Man, they look pretty beat up really bad," said Gatomon.
"Well no kidding. They were almost pounded to death by Virus," Kari said, "So this is how he likes to inflict pain on other people? I can't wait to shut him down once and for all."
"We might still have that chance once we enter that training room," Gatomon said, "I promise you, we'll bring Virus down and make him pay for his crimes."
"We'll both make sure that he pays dearly for everything that he has caused upon our world," Tai said, "His sins won't be forgiven."
Kari nodded in agreement and turned to see Azulongmon shooting down a beam of holy energy from his digicores upon the fallen bodies of Silphymon and Leomon. This would help revive them and heal their major injuries.
***************************************************************************************
Paildramon finally made it to Odaiba and he started flying towards the apartment complex.
"We're almost there, Davis. Now once we get that device, we'll be heading out to the islands once again and we'll shut down those artificials once and for all."
"Right, so that Virus won't have anything to absorb. I hope that device is completed by now," Davis replied.
As soon as Paildramon zipped by, a red-haired little girl with violet eyes watched him pass by. She was wearing a white t-shirt, a pair of jeans and red sneakers. The girl held a yellow fox doll around her arm and heard her name being called out.
"Rika! Where are you?"
"I'm over here! You can't believe what I thought I saw! Or maybe I was just imagining things…"
As they arrived at the apartment complex, Izzy and Tentomon were there to meet Paildramon on the outside with a small remote control in their hand.
"Great, so that must be the device?" asked Paildramon.
"Yes, we finally completed its downloading process just a few minutes ago. Boy it was pretty hectic sitting and waiting, but it finally has paid off," Izzy said.
"So is this the device that will be able to deactivate the artificials?" asked Paildramon.
"Yeah but you have to get into a close range in order for it to work," Izzy said.
"I try telling him that is complete suicide but would he listen to me? No," Tentomon bragged.
"Don't listen to him. He's gone a little cuckoo for not being able to participate in anything physical. He's been bored lately," Izzy said.
"Well anything is better than sitting around and making me lose my mind."
"Alright. We'll take your advice into consideration."
"Paildramon? Any word on Yolei and Hawkmon?" Ken asked.
"No. But we sensed that their energy signal quickly depleted during the battle," Paildramon replied, "We fear the worst for Silphymon."
"So they're done for?" Ken asked.
"Not exactly. Because we just picked up another ki that had arrived on the island. We believe it was War Greymon. We also felt Leomon's ki. Its safe to say that War Greymon was able to get those two out of harm's way and has taken them to wherever they are training at."
"Well at least we know where they are at," Ken said, "I'm just relieved to know that they are fine."
"Don't worry, we got this under control," Paildramon said, "But we could use your help, Ken. You want to come along?"
"Yes. I rather get myself involved and get my hands dirty rather than wait around," Ken said, "What do you say Wormmon?"
"I'm all up for it! Lets do it!"
Ken's D-3 glowed and a shroud of light surrounded Wormmon. He was now ready to digivolve into his champion leveled form.
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
Stingmon picks up Ken and goes flying up in order to quickly head towards the islands as soon as possible. Paildramon went ahead and followed them towards the islands. Izzy and Tentomon watched on and had hoped for them to actually succeed and use the remote control device to their advantage.
"Lets just hope Davis knows how to handle that device. The fate of two worlds rests on his hands at the moment," Izzy said to himself,"Virus can not be allowed to reach his full evolution."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Virus is flying across the oceans while he proceeded on his search for the artificials. He was getting quite impatient and was in no mood for these little hide and seek games.
"Damn! If only I had taken care of that weakling then I wouldn't have this kind of problem. I should have absorbed Sonja when I had the chance! No matter, I will find them!"
Just as Virus was searching, the artificials were laying hidden on a small forest island where Virus couldn't easily locate them. Black War Greymon had chosen this spot to avoid being seen from any outsider such as Virus.
"This is a pretty good hiding spot you found for us," Sonja said, "But are you able to get back into battle?"
"Doubtful, my circuitry has been severely damaged from the last attack Virus inflicted on me… But if I had any chance, then I would be torn to shreds. Virus is that powerful now…"
"Well that just sucks. We just stay here and hid like scared kittens?" asked Sonja.
"Yes, to ensure your safety and to prevent Virus from absorbing. Even you alone are no match for him… Ugh, its best that you stay here."
"If only I had enough power to defeat. Oh, Jax. I can't believe you're not with us anymore. We had made it so far in taking this world as our own little playground."
"Hopefully this is a good hiding post. No signs of Virus anywhere. His ki is from a long distance away from here. Lets hope that it remains that way," Black War Greymon thought to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Back at Azulongmon's training grounds, Leomon and Hawkmon were now back on their feet. Yolei was also revived after Silphymon had de-evolved.
"Man, you guys look better than ever," Kari said, "Azulongmon's power must have been very helpful. How does it feel?"
"I feel much better. My ki energy has been refilled," Leomon said.
"You almost sacred us to death Yolei. You and Hawkmon had given everything that you had against Virus," said Agumon.
"It was a very honorable move Yolei," Leomon said, "But it wasn't enough. It's going to take more than just the power of fusion alone to win the game. Just think about it. Not one of us stands a chance against him in a one on one battle."
"You guys! They're out! Matt and Dimitri have just finished their time chamber training!" X exclaimed.
"Its about damn time!" Tai remarked.
They headed towards the time chamber doors and waited for the two to exit the room along with their digimon. Agumon and Tai watched on patiently in order to find out how powerful they have gotten during that time in the training chamber.
Suddenly, the doors opened up and two shadows started to step out. Dimitri was the first to emerge with Faith flying by his side. Dimitri looked as cool and intense as ever. Then, Matt came walking out with Gabumon sat his side. Their clothes almost torn up and their bodies just a little bit battered. But it really had paid off for them.
The Digi-Destined watched on in shock to see their comrades finally out of the chamber and better than ever. The digimon could easily sense the ki from both Gabumon and Faith. Their ki powers were much higher than before.
Dimitri came walking out of the room with a Faith on his shoulder. Alongside him was none other than Matt and Gabumon. Dimitri looked over towards the other children and smiled.
"So, have we missed out on anything yet?"
"Oh you bet you have. Things aren't looking so good for our side," Yolei said.
"What could be so bad?" asked Gabumon, "You can at least tell us."
"We will explain everything in just a moment," Azulongmon said.
"Hmmm, well Matt, how was the training room? Did Gabumon get a chance to exploit his hidden power?" asked Tai.
"You will just have to see for yourself, dude. In fact, you'll be quite shocked to know how much stronger Gabumon has gotten."
"Has Faith gotten the proper training he was looking for?" asked Kari.
"Yeah. He worked really hard to reach to the status of power he currently stands at," Dimitri replied, "This room will be the most difficult task for you to accomplish, Kari. You think you're up for it, Kari?"
"You bet. I'm more than ready. Gatomon is up for any kind of a challenge."
"I'll even practice with a ball of yarn just to get my training started," Gatomon said, "Just you wait and see, Dimitri. You won't be disappointed."
"Well, knowing you, I know that I won't be disappointed," Dimitri said in agreement.
"So how was the actual training for you guys? Intense?" asked Tai.
"Well it was very difficult to say the least. You and Kari are pretty much going to beg to be released after a long while," Dimitri said.
"So, what took you guys long? It seemed a bit longer than twenty-four hours," Kari said.
"Well, we could have left a little while ago, but my father here insisted that we stay a little longer because he wanted to…"
"That will be enough from there, Dimitri. I prefer to not have our secret training discussed in public. Understood?"
"Well, I guess you guys will have to find out how much power my brother and Gabumon were able to surpass."
"Is that so," Tai said, "Well Matt. I'm sure you can let us know what your little secret is, won't you?"
"Ha. Oh you will see the true potential of our full power. You won't be disappointed."
"Matt, you better listen up and listen good. While you were in there training with Gabumon, we've had our hands full with Virus," Leomon replied.
"No kidding and he's already absorbed the artificial known as Jax. He's gotten a lot stronger in his newest form. And if you think that your going to have any kind of a chance in taking this guy on, well you got another thing coming," Yolei said.
But Matt simply stood there with a smile on his face. The others looked at him as if he were just not taking this as a total threat to him. Why was he so cool and clam at this moment?
"We're serious, Matt. Virus has gotten really strong and none of us stands a chance against him. If you possibly think you even have a chance, then your nuts, dude," Tai said.
As soon as Tai was finished speaking, Matt just simply smirked and chuckled to himself. Tai gasped and couldn't believe that Matt wasn't even showing any kind of fear.
"Yes. Gabumon can easily sense the presence of Virus and it has gone a lot higher since the last time we had an encounter with him. But you guys have forgotten, we've been training our asses off in that chamber. I got to hand it to you, Tai, you've found the perfect place for us to reach to our limitations. It really paid off. Thanks."
"Well, I guess it's not a problem then. Look, we really need to discuss our game plan on taking out Virus once and for all," Tai said.
"Oh good ahead. I'm listening. But I don't think I plan on going along with your little game plan Tai. It's pretty obvious who has the most power to destroy Virus alone and your looking at the person."
"You mean you as Metalla X have enough power to destroy Virus. I find that hard to believe," Kari said.
"Say what you want to, Kari. But I'm going to prove you all wrong. Again, never underestimate us," Matt replied.
Dimitri looked over towards his young father and sighs. He pondered to himself on how far he and Faith were able to bypass the ascension of fusion during the times of training in the secret chamber.
"Ok, guys. Listen up," X said, "As you now know, Virus has already manifested into his second form, which makes him ten times more lethal than before. Ever since he absorbed Jax, his power has gone and increased to all-time heights. We have to be careful if we plan on defending the other artificial from him. If Virus is able to swallow Sonja into his being, then our hopes and chances of protecting both worlds will be put under jeopardy."
"Well then, I guess I can save you guys the trouble as Gabumon and I will take care of the Virus problem for you then," Matt said.
"Father. We should really not underestimate our enemy. Who knows how much powerful Virus has become during our training in the time chamber," Dimitri said.
"But you have forgotten? Gabumon and I have surpassed the power of fusion. We have ascended and now we're going to prove to Virus. I'm tired of all of this waiting. I say we take action now, or better yet, you guys let Gabumon and I take it from here."
"That's plain insanity!" Yolei said, "You're going to get killed."
"No, Yolei. I believe him," Tai said, "None of here are as strong to defeat Virus, except Dimitri and Matt. Their digimon have already reached to new levels of power as Matt said they were. So I say, let them go. Nobody is going to stop matt, so why even try."
"But Tai, we really don't know how much stronger Virus has gotten. And we absolutely have no idea how powerful Gabumon has gotten. Its a risk we're going to have to take," Kari said, "Matt, this is your decision. You make the right choice."
"Thanks you guys. Virus won't know what hit him," said Matt.
"Yo, Matt. You need any help on finding Virus. Maybe I can guide you by using time wrap," Tai said, "We can get by some more distance if we…"
"Oh please, Tai. I don't need you to help me. I don't know why you asked. This should be a piece of cake for me," Matt said.
"So you're actually going to go through with this?" X asked, "Well I ask for you to keep your eyes peeled and be careful."
"I will. Don't worry. I'll be rid of Virus right before you know it. Well then, I'm gone!" Matt said, "Gabumon. Ready?"
"As I always ever will be."
"Warp digivolve now!"
[Digimon Adventure evolution theme "Braveheart" plays]
Matt's digivice releases a huge ray of energy as hit covers Gabumon and gives him the power to evolve past his champion and ultimate leveled forms.
"Gabumon warp shinka!"
Gabumon by passes through his rookie form, then to Garurumon, then to Were Garurumon and finally into Metal Garurumon.
"Metal Garurumon!"
Matt hops onto Metal Garurumon as they set off into the skies and flew off towards the location of Virus and the artificials.
"Man, sometimes he can be a jerk when it comes to underestimating the enemy," Yolei said, "Ugh, that jackass."
"Well it looks like I'll have to go and follow him," Dimitri said.
"Hey wait up, Dimitri!" Tai called out.
"What's up, Tai?"
"Just do me one favor? Don't get into Matt's way. He can be a real ass about it. He really hates it when people butt into his business, but make sure to watch his back."
"I'll do what I can Tai. Don't worry about me. Thanks."
"Good luck."
Dimitri nods and turns to face Faith. He holds out his D-3 and Faith felt his ki increase. He was now ready to evolve and fight in perhaps one of the most important battles of his life.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Then Dimitri's hidden crest powers powered up as well and it would allow Faith to reach to his ultimate leveled form.
"Angemon chou shinka! Magna Angemon!"
Faith picks up Dimitri as they set off towards the direction that Metal Garurumon and Matt were heading towards.
Tai looked over towards Kari and nodded to her. She looks over to her brother.
"Are you ready? It's time for our time chamber training with our digimon. Are you up for it?"
"You bet I am, big brother." "We have no time to lose guys. We better get into that room as soon as possible," Gatomon said.
"Hold on! There's something else important we have to get out of the way first," Agumon said.
"And what's that?" asked Yolei.
"What could be more important?" pondered Leomon.
"Some food. We haven't eaten all day," Agumon said.
"Come to think of it, I'm starving here," Tai whimpered.
The others all sighed and fell backwards at what they had just said.
"What? Eat now?" Kari said, "Looks like we wasted another good fifteen minutes. Why didn't you eat after getting up?"
**************************************************************************************
Virus continued his search for the artificials. He looked down at several islands that were covering the entire ocean. He surveyed each island and wanted to make sure that he was able to find one of the artificials.
Virus stops himself and looks down at several islands that were just below him. He thought of a great idea to lure the artificials out.
"Where are they?! I am in no mood with these games! This is just almost too embarrassing to put up with. Very well then, if they won't come out, I'll just have to destroy these islands."
In fact, Virus was hovering above on an island where Black War Greymon and Sonja were hiding. They both looked up to see him hovering from a far distance.
"Black War Greymon! There he is!"
"Wait, I say we stay here. If we remain where we are, then he won't come and find us. He will eventually give out and looks for another pair of islands to destroy. Trust me, he wouldn't destroy you since you are considered valuable to him."
Virus looks down at several islands just a few yards away from him and pointed his hand down towards them.
"River of Power!"
Virus shoots out a blast of energy right at the islands and within a matter of seconds, they islands were quickly wiped off. Virus had used one of Metal Seadramon's attacks. Now he faced another pair of islands and was ready to unleash another attack.
"Venom Infusion!" Virus blasts away several more islands using Venom Myotismon's destructive attack, but this was a modified version of Virus' and it was more powerful, which makes it ten times just as destructive.
"Ugh! Black War Greymon! He's using each of the digimon's attacks to blow away each island. He's going to find us eventually!"
"We have to get out of here but let us wait until he clears every single island. That way I can fend him off while you go and hide somewhere else."
"Fine. Man, this really sucks. I'm not going to get eaten by that idiot."
Suddenly, more blasts were being fired away and many islands were starting to explode out of nowhere. Luckily, the island that Sonja was on hasn't been found yet and she hoped that Virus wouldn't eventually find the island that she is located on.
"Just a little more time and I'll regain my strength and resume my fight with Virus," Black War Greymon said to himself.
Virus quickly phases in and out across the ocean as he continued on blasting away each island one by one.
"Come on out, Sonja! I'm demanding you to come out! If you do not show yourself, I will destroy these islands one by one! This is your last chance! I am ordering you to come! Nobody is safe from my wrath! You hear me?! Come out now!"
Virus goes flying around as if he were a vulture. But instead of looking down searching for prey, he blasted several more islands with some trademark digimon attacks. He used some of Machinedramon's Giga Cannon blasts and several Giga Missiles, both of which are Metal Garurumon's and Metal Greymon's techniques.
Elsewhere, Metal Garurumon picks up Virus' energy signal and went to tell Matt, who was on his back enjoying the long ride.
"Matt. I can sense Virus. Hes close by."
"Well, looks like we're going to show our power a little early this time," Matt said, "Wait till Virus gets a load of us, Metalla X style."
With that said, Metal Garurumon boosted his speed and flies across the oceans to reach a much wider range and to arrive at the site as soon as possible.
Faith and Dimitri looked up ahead to see Metal Garurumon with Matt. Dimitri has his eyes locked onto matt and he wants to make sure that his father will be able to get the job done against Virus. But he is mostly there to help support Matt all the way through.
"Father. I'm going to be watching your every move and I just hope that you don't let all of that power go to your head. Please, take this fight with Virus seriously. I really want to see how much Metalla X has progressed as far as ki level is concerned. Then I shall demonstrate mine when the time is right."
Faith boosted his speed in order to catch up to Metal Garurumon, so that both will be able to find Virus' location at the same time without stalling each other's time.
**************************************************************************************
"Damn it! You better come out now or I will destroy each of these islands one by one! It won't take very long for me to find your location! Come out and surrender yourself to me, Sonja. Nobody in this world or the Digital World is stronger than me! I have no equal! I demand you to show yourself or you will suffer the consequences of my wrath!"
Virus powers up his ki and a bright aura formed around him. He holds up his hands and a large orange ball of energy formed in one hand. Then a black energy ball forms in his other hand. One of these is none other than War Greymon's Terra Force and the other is one of Burizalor's destructive Death Balls.
"If you won't come out, then I shall force you to come out! Terra Force! Death Ball!"
Virus throws down the Terra Force and then the Death Ball attack towards several more neighboring islands. Within a matter of moments, these islands were quickly wiped out and nothing was left of them.
***************************************************************************************
Paildramon and Stingmon stopped as they both felt a huge ki. Ken and Davis wondered why they stopped and began to question them.
"Stingmon? What's wrong?"
"It's Virus, Ken. He's around here and I can sense his energy signal! He's gotten much stronger ever since he absorbed Jax. I don't think even Black War Greymon stands a chance now."
"Shoot and now we still got to shut those artificals down…" Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
"You sure sound pretty down about this one. What's wrong? You sound depressed," said Ken.
"Its nothing really."
"Ok…"
"Uhhh man. I really liked that Sonja girl. She seemed pretty nice and boy was she cute. Too bad she's an artificial though. If only she were a real human being. Wait a second! C'mon Davis, snap out of it! We got a job to do!"
***************************************************************************************
Back in Azulongmon's training grounds, Agumon and Tai had already finished their little meal, more like a big buffet. They both walked over towards Kari and Gatomon.
"So, are you ready?" Tai asked.
"Yeah," Kari said.
X walks over to the chamber door and opens it. A bright flash of light came out of it. Kari and Gatomon shielded their eyes from the light. Tai and Agumon both guided them through the light and into the chamber.
"It's ok, Kari. It's just light," Tai said.
"Wow. It's so beautiful," Kari said.
X closes the door on them and seals the chamber door shut. He motions to Azulongmon, as if signaling that both children have entered the room.
"I just hope that they will make it through," Yolei said to herself,"But then again, I'm not going to doubt their abilities."
Tai and Kari have now entered the time chamber room with Agumon and Gatomon! Can they withstand this one-year of training? Virus continues on his rampage, can the artificials make it out alive before Virus gets to them? Will Matt and Metal Garurumon make it there in time to become Metalla X and stop the evil monster before everything is lost?

Kari: What?! A year of training in a day?! I don't think we survive that long…
Tai: No, because you and Gatomon will have to surpass Agumon and myself…
Kari: Us, surpass you?!
Paildramon: Ken? Where are they?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Virus Faces Off Against Super Metalla X! "Kneel Before me, Virus!"
Virus continues on his rampage while destroying many islands below him. His main agenda now was to assimilate Sonja into his being, in order to reach his full evolution, but Sonja hid on one of the islands that he was planning to blow up.
Sonja watched on as she witnessed more islands blow up one by one. She feared for Virus possibly finding a way to destroy the island that she and Black War Greymon were laying hidden.
"He's destroying more islands close to us. Black War Greymon, I suggest we leave this damn island or else we're going to die anyways," Sonja said.
"No wait. I can sense Virus moving away from this island. I don't know how and why but maybe because of the fact that he can't sense your energy signal."
"No duh. I'm an artificial. He can't and shouldn't even sense my ki."
"But he too is an artificial."
"Remember what he said. He's biological. So that gives us quite an advantage, he has a ki power and we don't."
"Yes, but he can easily see you if you attempt to escape off of this island. So that is why I suggest you stay here with me until I find a way to regain my strength and return back into the fight."
"Well, alright. But don't you go dying on me, big guy."
"I don't plan to. Virus has fueled my desire in killing him at the moment. War Greymon isn't even considered a priority at the moment."
"Well I can certainly see why."
Suddenly, more blasts came showering down from above and because of that, more islands were wiped out. Sonja looked up to see Virus shooting down more blasts at the other neighboring islands.
"Come on out, artificial! If you don't come out now, I'll blasting every single island that comes around my sight! I suggest you surrender yourself to me and we can end these childish games!"
"Ugh. I am not giving myself to that creep. Black War Greymon, I just hope you have a speedy recovery system Datamon placed into your body."
"Don't worry so much at the moment… I'll be fine… My main objective is to get you to safety."
Virus flies across the ocean and fired away more energy blast to eradicate the islands that seemed like a distraction to him.
"I know you're on one of these islands, Sonja. You will come out sometime."
Virus cried out angrily and waved his hand around. Two energy balls appeared in his hands and he quickly tossed each of them down at two large islands that looked to have some sort of civilized homes on it.
"Dark Network!"
Virus had just used one of Etemon's trademark attacks in order to destroy the islands. And if that wasn't enough, he powered hi ki even higher and formed an electrical ball of energy over his head. Now he was using one of Altur Kabuterimon's attacks.
"Horn Buster!"
The electrical ball went hurtling down towards a small island and within seconds, the energy ball was strong enough to blow the small piece of land away.
"I love this mass destruction. Maybe these pitiful humans will soon realize the true depth of my power. Sonja, if you do not show yourself to me, I will kill more of these civilized islands! The lives of humans do not mean a damn to me as long as I reach my full evolution! You hear me! Come out now!"
Elsewhere, Metal Garurumon was closing in towards the area where Virus was blowing up the islands. He sensed the large energy level and could easily tell that it was Virus.
"Matt. Incoming, it looks like we got ourselves a nuisance."
"Well. That has to be Virus, without a doubt. Because he was just using one of your Giga Missiles just a while ago."
"Shall we go in and attack him?"
"Yeah, the sooner the better. I'm going to show everyone of them that we're capable of finishing off Virus ourselves. Mark my words; we will get the job done."
"I say we fuse right now, so we can be prepared for anything."
"Right. I'm ready to fuse my friend. You don't know how long I've been dying for some revenge against those artificials."
"Well, we have to protect an artificial from being absorbed since it was Jax that was assimilated into Virus."
"So then, it's Sonja. Good, that makes things even more interesting."
"Indeed, so are we ready to fuse?"
"You bet! Let's do it!"
Matt held his digivice and it began to glow. He pressed it against his chest and he felt his body become a wave of energy.
[Digimon 02 theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
"Fusion Shinka!"
Matt and Metal Garurumon came together into a one large mass of energy and slowly that cloud of energy started to form into a physical form. In their place was a metallic warrior that looked somewhat like Metal Garurumon but with spikes on his back and the crest of friendship on his chest. He was now Metalla X.
"Metalla X!"
Metalla X flies up into the clouds and starts to survey the area. He picks up a large energy level over towards several miles over to the eastern side.
"There he is and he's just blasting away some helpless islands. Well playtime is over for him. Wait till Tai and the others get a load of us!"
Not too far behind was none other than Faith and Dimitri. Dimitri had watched his father's every actions and he plans to follow him like there's no tomorrow.
"Young father must want to fight Virus really badly. Well, I'm sorry to raid on his little parade, but I'm going to stop him! No matter how much it takes me to beat it into his head! He may have more power now but he should not in any circumstance, underestimate Virus! Faith. It's time to fuse."
"Right. I'm ready to go!"
"Let's do it!"
Dimitri held his D-3 and it started to glow. He pressed it against his chest and he felt his body become a mass of energy.
[Digimon 02 theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
"Fusion Shinka!"
Dimitri and Faith came together as a large mass of energy and soon they came together to form a single physical form. Now standing in their place was a metallic angel with some of Angemon's body features, including a helmet that looked similar to a mobile suit.
"Angemon X!"
Angemon X boosts up his speed energy and flies across the oceans in a speed of light. This way he could catch up to Metalla X and attempt to stop him at any costs.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the training grounds of Azulongmon, Leomon and Yolei stood to watch the progress of Virus through one of Gennai's viewing orbs. Though Gennai was currently not present, X was there to keep a bird's eye view on the situation.
"So what do you think, Leomon? You think that Metalla X and Angemon X stand a chance against Virus?" asked Yolei.
"I'm not going to lie to you, but I think they stand a chance. This is because of the fact that Virus is not in his full evolution. He's only in his second form, and if he assimilates Sonja, then we lose."
"I'm just having a hard time trusting Matt's intentions. You know he's going to want to fight Virus just for the sport of it."
"Now that's something I can believe. Ever since he fused with Gabumon to become Metalla X, he has gotten quite arrogant. And at first, I thought I would see this from Tai but that was not the case surprisingly," Leomon said.
"It's very surprising. He's learned to respect his power in a way," Hawkmon said.
"Yes that's another way to put it and let us hope that Kari turns out to be like her older brother. Yolei, how did it feel to fuse with Hawkmon for the first time?" asked X.
"Well. It just happened. Virus was making my blood boil and I really wanted to make him pay for everything that he caused and all of the innocent souls that he has taken away. He's a parasite to this world," Yolei said.
"You sure aren't the type that would want to fight to the death," Azulongmon said, "You and Davis have been the only ones of the newer Digi-Destined to ever fuse with their digimon. TK, Kari, Cody and Ken have yet to reach this ability. But I believe that Kari maybe the next to fuse."
"You really think that Kari and Gatomon will be able to fuse with one another?" asked Yolei.
"Yes but this won't be any other ordinary fusion. It will be quite a unique ability and I for one, don't know what it is."
"Wow, maybe its the so called ascension to the next level of fusion," Yolei said.
"Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't," X replied, "That really depends on your perspective."
"Well I do believe is that ascension to the next level of fusion! I just have that feeling that it will be that," exclaimed Yolei, "But I just hope I'm right."
**************************************************************************************
Inside the training chamber, Kari and Gatomon were examining the room. They were quite surprised to see a large luxurious room. There was a large sofa, an entertainment system and just about anything, that would make the perfect house.
"Wow! This is the training chamber?" Kari asked enthusiastically.
"Well, one portion but don't think that this will be our full training. Trust me, I would rather want to lay back and watch TV," Tai said.
"Out through this door, you will see the area where we will be training," Agumon said.
"Ooo, I can't wait to see this," Gatomon said.
Agumon opened a door and it led into a large but rather white and space less area of nothing. Gatomon and Kari looked on with their eyes widening in shock.
"Is this some kind of joke, Agumon?" asked Gatomon, "I don't even see anything! Where's the ball of yarn? The scratching post?"
"You won't need those to get a good training. This is where we will be sparring against each other for a full year," Agumon replied.
"A full year? Ugh, I can't even last a full day training nonstop."
"Tai? Is it really true that inside this chamber is only a day on the outside?" Kari asked.
"Yeah. You will be amazed on how much taller your going to get in just one full year."
"Did you manage to ask mom and dad about this?"
"Of course I did, but I told them that we were taking a hike in the forests."
"So basically this is like our vacation?"
"A little bit of that but this is going to be work."
"But who's going to cover for us? You know mom and dad will call the camp counselors about our whereabouts."
"Not a problem. I have Mimi and Michael covering for us."
"Whew. You actually do know what you're doing."
"Yeah, don't sweat it. I got everything under control."
"Alright then. So, when do we begin our training with our digimon?"
"I guess today, but here's the thing. It's not going to be just any other digimon training routine."
"Oh, then what is it?" asked Gatomon, "I'm really dying to know."
"You'll know in due time," Agumon said, "But first. Time for some warm up exercises! I need to burn that food that I just had."
**************************************************************************************
As the smoke starts to clear up around the once peaceful islands, there was nothing left of them except fallen rubble and restless waters.
Virus looked down at the ocean and he formed an angry look on his face. Now he was more than pissed off and was easily losing his patience. There was no signs of the artificials.
"Damn! Nothing yet! That Sonja is quite a stubborn one. I'm going to just have to rise the stakes seven higher this time."
Virus forms an energy ball in his hands, which quickly morph into small little cannon guns. He then lets out a large range of energy blasts all over the oceans. He watched as each small blast easily wiped out several large islands in an instant.
"Try a little Giga Cannon! Maybe this will change your mind, Sonja! You will have to come sometime!"
Virus then forms a small hammer in his hand and raises it over his head. Instead of small blasts coming out from each of the hammer's holes, there was large energy blasts about half the size of his body coming out. Each of these blasts easily blasted away several more islands.
"Puppetmon may have been a weakling in my view but he does have quite some handy little tricks and speaking of tricks."
Virus holds up his hands and starts to form an energy ball over his head. He then thirsts his hand forward and unleashes several devastating energy blasts.
"Clown Trick! Yes, these are some of Piedmon's most deadly attacks! Man I just love doing this!"
Each of the blasts destroyed the last portions of the devastated islands that considered being valuable to environmentalists. Now, there was nothing for them to save as long as Virus was continuing his rampage.
Sonja and Black War Greymon watched as more islands wiped out because of Virus' raging blasts and attacks. Sonja had no idea of what to do now. If she were to escape, she would easily be seen by Virus and that would prove rather disastrous.
"Black War Greymon! I don't see anymore islands anywhere! Virus just about destroyed every one of them. I think we're on the only island that remains."
"I'm slowly getting back my strength. Virus will know that we are here. He won't destroy it if he knows that you are on this island."
"But that's the problem. He does not even know and if he blasts this island, we are done for! You hear me? We'll be dead!"
"IN that case, I will fight Virus no matter how severe my condition is!"
"No, you can't…"
"I rather risk my life to ensure your safety. You will just have to trust me on that."
Sonja looked at Black War Greymon as if he were crazy and then looked back up to see if Virus had spotted here yet.
As the smoke began to clear away once again, Virus looked down to see none other than only one island remaining. This was now Virus' last chance.
"Ahhh. One last island remaining. I got this one. Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Virus quickly phases out and Sonja could easily sense a dark presence. She threw her hair away from her face and looked up to see Virus hovering above the island. Her eyes became widened in fear as she saw him holding out his hand as if he were about to shoot out a rather large energy blast.
"Uh! Black War Greymon! There he is!"
"Don't move! Stay where you are! He won't see you. He knows that you're valuable."
"But he doesn't know! We're going to die!"
Virus held his hand down on the sight of the island began to target it. A small energy ball was forming in his hand. He was ready to blow away this last island just to add to his own satisfaction.
"Last island! Last chance! This is it for you, Sonja! If you are even in there, its all over! You only brought this on yourself"
Sonja stood there frozen in fear as she began to have flashbacks of her entire life. This would be her last resting place, where her grave would be underwater. Her fate was going to be sealed.
Just as Virus was going to shoot out his blast and destroy this last island, he felt an enormous energy level heading towards his direction. He stopped and turned to see who it was. A bright light flew right by and then stopped right in front of him. Then to his greatest surprise, it was none other than Metalla X hovering right in front of Virus with a huge smirk on his face. The eyes of Virus widened in shock as he was now facing who he considered was the second strongest warrior next to Omega X.
"It's… It's… you… Yamato…"
"Yes it is me. Hello there, Virus. It's nice to meet you."
Sonja uncovered her eyes and could feel the energy signal coming from Metalla X. She looked up and could see him. She stood there with a shocked look on her face. Black War Greymon was just as surprised but he could also feel Metalla X's hidden power.
"Who is that, Black War Greymon? That looks like Metalla X but I can't really tell. I can sense his energy signal though. It's much different from that of Metalla X.
"No, it's Metalla X and he's gotten much stronger."
"But how is that possible?"
Metalla X and Virus hovered down onto the island as they continued to face each other off. Virus slowly examined Metalla X's body as a smirk formed across his face.
"What are you doing here, Metalla X? Or should I say Yamato and Gabumon? Have you come to save the artificials from me? Have you come to watch my reach to my fullest evolution? Well, it was quite a surprise to see you."
"Neither. We're not here to play the hero crap."
"Oh I see. What are you here then for? Well, it does not really matter, anyway. What you fail realize by now that I am the most powerful being in this plane of existence."
"Ha. Ha. That is where you are wrong my friend. Gabumon and I are the strongest and we shall prove it to you."
Sonja and Black War Greymon hid behind some bushes as they began to observe the confrontation between the two super powers.
"All I got to say to you Virus is this, your time is up."
"Ha. Amazing little game, Metalla X but its going to take more than just you to defeat me. You're so delusional."
"I agree with Virus. Metalla X is obviously very delusional. He's lost his mind. There's no way that he stands a chance against Virus alone. He might as well sign his own death warrant. After all, I did kick his ass."
"Metalla X is much different from last time. His ki has increased dramatically ever since he fought you Sonja."
"Huh? But how? How could Metalla X achieve such a large amount of power in such a short amount of time? It just doesn't add up."
"Trust me, because Metalla X wouldn't be challenging Virus here and now if he didn't have power that will back him up. You were stronger then, Sonja. Now he is the strongest and he alone could he the power to end Virus once and for all."
"Well, I just hope your right. Man, what power…"
"So, Metalla X, shall we get started then?"
"Yes. Let's go. Are you up to the ultimate challenge?"
Just as Virus was going to answer him, Metalla X felt another tremendous energy level coming towards his way. He looked up to see none other than Angemon X appear out of nowhere. Angemon X hovers down to the ground.
"Huh?! Is that you Dimitri? My, how much you've grown since the last time we met each other. I can easily sense that your energy level has taken a rise as well. Interesting. So is this going to be a father and son tag team we are going to have here? Another usual handy-cap match? well, I'll be more than glad to fight you both alone."
"No. There will be no other interruptions," Metalla X said, "And he's just here to observe our one on one battle."
"Ahhh. Just what I needed, a little audience here to see me kick the crap out of you!"
"No, Virus. I'm afraid it's going to be the other way around, is that clear?"
These words from Metalla X infuriated Virus as he quickly clenched his fists and growled angrily.
"Dimitri and that Patamon also managed to raise their ki in their fusion form. Interesting. So looks like we don't have to get our hands dirty after all," Sonja said.
"No. But I suggest that we stay here," replied Black War Greymon, "We shall let Metalla X fight Virus. In the end, either one will be the last man standing."
"Uh huh."
Virus and Metalla X faced each other down as the air around them started to quickly rise. One of them was now going to make their next move and it could very well be Metalla X.
"Are you ready now, Virus? Are you ready to see what is perhaps the single most powerful force known in two worlds?!"
Virus stood there amused after listening to Metalla X's little speech. He certainly wasn't taking Metalla X seriously as he should.
Soon all of that would change as the ground quickly started to shake and Metalla X began to power up his ki level. He felt his body tremble with pure rage and power surging through his veins. A bright aura formed around him and electrical bolts were emitting from his body.
Virus took a good look at Metalla X and watched as the ground around him was starting to shatter. Pieces of rubble began to float up and encircle Metalla X as if he were a human magnet field.
"Wow. What… great… power. I've never felt this kind of energy before," Sonja whispered to herself. "You think he stands a chance?"
"With this large amount of power, it's safe to say yes," Black War Greymon said.
Metalla X's body slowly started to bulk up because of this huge power up. The muscles on his arms and legs started to get bigger and his feet started to cave into the ground below him. The spikes on his back were getting sharper and shiner. His whole body started to glow a blue metallic aura but his eyes were glowing a golden yellow. The island around him was starting to shake.
"So far so good, young father, but lets see what your maximum power is really like," Angemon X said to himself. "So far you haven't been disappointing me yet."
Metalla X continued his power up and Virus just stood with a shocked look on his face. He never felt such a tremendously high power level from one single fighter. He was really looking forward to testing his powers against a caliber fusion warrior such as Metalla X.
****************************************************************************************
Back inside the training chamber, Gatomon began to spar with Agumon as they both traded blows against one another.
"Lighting Claw!"
"Pepper Breath!"
Both of their attacks connected with one another but they both were pushed backwards because of that. Gatomon looked over to Agumon with a smirk on her face.
"Not bad for a rookie."
"I'm just getting warmed up, kitty cat."
"What?! How dare you?! Wait till I whoop you when I become Angewomon!"
"War Greymon says bring it!"
Tai and Kari watched on with amused looks on their faces. Kari looked over to her older brother.
"Tai, Agumon mentioned that this would not be some sort of digimon training? I need to know what you two are planning to do with me and Gatomon."
"Well. I might as well tell you. I can't really explain it. To be honest, I never make much sense anyway. I'll give this my best shot. Ahem. Azulongmon told us that you and Gatomon have some sort of hidden power and he told us that we will unleash that hidden power, or we will at least help ya'll."
"So what's this hidden power?"
"We are training you two to reach the fusion level."
"Wow?! Are you really that serious?! Gatomon and I to fuse into a super being like Omega X?!"
"Yes and I'm positive that you two have that ability. It's only a matter of time. And that hidden power that you have is called 'The Amazing Grace'."
"Amazing Grace? You mean that's the hidden power that you want to tell me about?"
"Yes and we're going to help you two unleash that power, but you will need to understand that this will be the hardest challenge to date in your lives. You think you are up for it? Because there's always the exit door and there's a chance to chicken out of this."
"No way! You don't see me running away from this. Much like you, I will rise and claim this Amazing Grace. I won't let you down."
"Well, we are Kamiyas after all. We're just too proud to ever give up."
"Yup and this time, we're going to ascend to that level of fusion. You hear that Gatomon?"
"Loud and clear. If it's an Amazing Grace that you want, it's an Amazing Grace that you will get!"
"Thanks Gatomon. I'm up for this, Tai. So when do we begin?"
"We could start today if you want to."
"Yeah! Let's do this! I rather start now rather than wait later."
"Well Kari, we got a full year of training, so we got all the time that we need," Agumon said.
***************************************************************************************
Outside the chamber door, Leomon and X began to read the increasing ki coming from Metalla X. They could not believe to how much power that he has achieved.
"Leomon! His power was greater than I've ever imagined!"
"Yes, this is simply amazing!"
"Are you saying that all of this energy is coming from just Metalla X alone?" asked Hawkmon.
"Yes and he has now ascended to that next level of fusion," Azulongmon replied.
"What, then he must be the most powerful warrior in two worlds," said Yolei, "And our power of Silphymon is nothing compared to this!"
"There's no doubt in my mind that Metalla X has the power to defeat Virus," Leomon said, "But will Metalla X be wise enough to take this monster seriously?"
"Matt, you better not let your ego get the best of you," X muttered.
****************************************************************************************
Metalla X stood there as he continued to power up to his maximum power. His muscles got bigger and the aura around him got even brighter. Virus shielded his eyes as the light started to emulate across the entire landscape.
Sonja and Black War Greymon were even more shocked as they read Metalla X's current ki. It has already surpassed theirs and quickly sky rocketed.
"Now that's what I call power," Black War Greymon said.
"I'll say. Virus doesn't even know what he's up against now," Sonja replied.
As the smoke started to clear away, Metalla X stood there with a bright aura around him and his muscles all bugled out. The spikes on his back were very much sharper. His appearance seemed almost similar to that of a metallic hedgehog.
Metalla X looked up to face Virus, who has a shocked look on his face. Metalla X breaths heavily and wrenches his left fist back.
"I have now reached two times the original fusion!"
"What?!"
With that said, Metalla X quickly launches himself right at Virus in the speed of light. He drills Virus with a powerful fist into his stomach. Virus looks down with a shocked look on his face. He could not believe that Metalla X was fast enough to nail him. The two artificials were just as shocked as well.
"Awww, what's wrong? Did it really hurt that bad? Here let me make it up to you."
"What's wrong?! Grr, I'll tell you what's wrong... No wait! You're making a big joke out of this. Well I admire your humor but this time none of that humor will save you in the end. You're done for."
"Thanks, I know I'm very humorous."
With that said, Metalla X pulls his fist out of Virus' stomach and the evil monster goes staggering back while holding his chest. Metalla X takes advantage as he runs right at Virus and delivers a devastating uppercut to the jaw of Virus. Virus goes flying up into the air but Metalla X goes up to follow him. Metalla X flips up and then delivers a kick to Virus' stomach. Virus screams out in pain as he goes flying down. Virus crashes through the ground below and was left a bruised mess.
Metalla X went plummeting. He nails a direct punch that connects with Virus' face. Virus goes flying back but he manages to stop himself. As he turns around, he sees Metalla X. Virus goes to punch him but Metalla X easily twists to the side and nails Virus in the chest with a power punch. Virus cries out in pain. Metalla X quickly phases out and reappears behind Virus. He then delivers a devastating kick to the spine. Virus goes flying forwards and finds himself crashing through a rocky cliff.
Metalla X lands on top of a nearby rocky ledge and turns to face Virus. The evil monster slowly gets to his feet and turns to face Metalla X. An angry look comes over his face but Metalla X just continues on smiling.
"What's wrong, Virus? You pussing out already?"
"Pussing out?! You got to be joking?! I'm just getting started!"
"Is that so? So, why are considering on quitting this fight?"
"Don't be so sure of yourself, you fool. Don't you even realize that your data and DNA are apart of me! I know you. You are apart of me."
"How ironic and its going to be me that kills your ass once and for all."
"Ha, clever till the end, huh? That's so like you."
Angemon X stood around and watched the fight. He began to realize the true depth of Metalla X's unlimited power. He was quite surprised that he is easily taking apart Virus in the beginning.
"You have him against the ropes. Just don't screw this up. The ball is your court."
Sonja and Black War Greymon watched on from a far distance behind some large bushes. Sonja was quite surprised to see how much Metalla X has improved since the last time that she fought him.
"Wow, this is simply amazing. Metalla X isn't even breaking a sweat. I don't even think Virus knows what he's up against. I'm certainly wrong for ever doubting Metalla X's abilities."
"Yes but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Metalla X has many more tricks up his sleeve. It is only a matter of time before he finishes Virus off for good," Black War Greymon said.
"Unbelievable. He isn't done just yet. I'm really looking forward to seeing his true fighting abilities. I just find it hard to believe that he has gotten this strong ever since we fought each other just a couple of days ago."
"Like I said, you were stronger then, but now Metalla X is the strongest."
"Incredible. These fused warriors certainly know how to increase their ki levels even during a short period. What is their secret to their powers? It seems that they have no limits."
Sonja was going to say something else, she was interrupted as the fight continued to rage on. Virus goes flying right at Metalla X and goes to deliver punches to him. Metalla X managed to maneuver to each side as he dodged each punch with tremendous ease. Virus was getting quite irritated as Metalla X was simply just moving to each side.
Angemon X watched the battle wage on as he began to remember everything that had occurred in the training chamber.
"This is it. The moment that we all have been waiting for. After all of that training and hard work, it's now going to pay off. I never believed that we could reach a new level of digivolution. It's hard to describe the ability to fuse with your digimon, but ever since that has happened to me, I have find new ways to exploiting new limitations to my power. Young father certainly has used his experience to his advantage. Now, we both have found ways to ascend to the next level of fusion. Young father, I hope you realize that I'm very proud of you. But I am sure that you will soon accept me for who I am. I am your flesh and blood. I am your son. The burning desire to be the best Digi-Destined that flows in your veins also flows through mine. Please realize that the battles that you are taking part in, you do not have to fight these battles alone. I am here whenever you need me. I promise you, you will definitely be proud of me when I show you the true abilities of my power."
Metalla X continues on maneuvering aside from each punch thrown by Virus. Virus cannot even make a single hit on Metalla X. The fused warrior was using his speed to his advantage and the bulky size of Virus was definitely slowing him down. Metalla X takes advantage of this situation and delivers a power punch to the stomach. Virus goes flying back and crashing through several rocky ledges.
Virus cries out angrily as he goes crashing down into the ground and into the murky waters below. Metalla X hovers over towards the waters and forms a huge smirk across his face. He was now simply toying with Virus for the hell of it.
"Heh. This is all too easy. Virus, your power makes me laugh."
As soon as he said that, Virus goes flying out of the water with an enraged look on his face. He clenched his fists and cried out angrily.
"You will hear me, Yamato! Mark my words, you will die!"
Metalla X simply just smiled and popped his neck. Virus was disgusted at the way his adversary was not even taking him seriously.
"I am done humoring you, Yamato. Soon, I will show you the true depth of my power. Are you up for it?"
"That depends. If you quit wasting our time and quit giving me these shitty performances."
"Fine then. Let's go for round two."
"Fine by me. But don't expect me to go easy on you, I'm getting pretty impatient over here."
With that said, the two fighters go flying right at each other and fists were now being traded but it was Metalla X who was easily dodging every punch that was being thrown at him.
****************************************************************************************
Back at the training grounds, Yolei stood in between X and Leomon as they were observing the battle from an orb. She was getting quite anxious to what was going on in the battle.
"So ,what's going on? How is Matt and Dimitri holding off Virus at the moment?" asked Yolei.
"Umm, Yolei. Don't you think we should be just sitting down and not asking them a bunch of pointless questions since they are watching the battle themselves," Hawkmon said.
"Well we're the ones with the cheap seats here, so I have a right to know to what is going on."
"So far, Metalla X is winning and Virus hasn't even laid on hand on him. Metalla X definitely has the edge at the moment," X said.
"Really? Wow, then he must really be powerful. Will he be able to defeat Virus?" Yolei asked.
"Yes. If he keeps up at this rate then, he shall snare victory," Azulongmon said.
Leomon stood there clenching his fists and growling to himself. There seems to be something upsetting Leomon and he would not let the others know what is troubling him now.
"Hey, what's wrong with Leomon? We're all cool and clam here but here he is all tense," Yolei said, "I wonder what his problem is."
"Grrr. Don't these fools realize what's going on?! Metalla X is winning without a doubt. But he has the power to have finished off Virus a while ago. He's just simply toying with him, giving Virus a chance to absorb the other artificial and reaching his full evolution. I knew something like this would happen. He's putting us all at risk just to feed his own selfish pride," Leomon said to himself.
"Ok… So we're winning and Leomon goes all pissy poo on us!" Yolei exclaimed, "Something is definitely wrong."
"Well I wouldn't ask Leomon at the moment. I say we let him have his moments," Hawkmon said.
"No! Metalla X! You better not screw this up," Leomon angrily cried out, "Your putting us all at risk! Just finish off Virus now!"
The others all stood there and looked towards Leomon as if he were crazy. Soon they would agree with him and definitely worry now.
**************************************************************************************
Gatomon stood there as she was clenching her paws and powering up her ki. Kari encouraged her digimon on and was there to coach her and motivate her to evolve during her power up.
"Come on, Gatomon! You're getting there! I know you can do this!"
Tai and Agumon watched on to see if Gatomon was able to power up the proper way. They were there to correct any mistakes if needed.
"So how am I doing, Tai?" asked Gatomon.
"You're getting there! It's not the level of power that we are looking for," said Tai.
"You're going to have to dig down deeper and find that power that you are looking for," Agumon said.
"Alright, but its pretty hard to find. How is it possible for me exploiting it?" asked Gatomon.
"Ahem. Here I'll show you," Agumon said as he walked over to Gatomon. "Now watch me."
Agumon stood there as he quickly powers up his ki and quickly evolves into War Greymon within a matter of seconds. Gatomon and Kari stood there with surprised looks on their faces.
"Whoa! How… How… How did you do that?" asked Gatomon.
"As you can see, I evolved into my mega form. I digivolved so fast that you were not able to keep up with it. This is a lesson you must learn. In order to reach to the next level, its going to take more than just increasing your power level, understand?"
"Yeah, but what really more do you need to reach to that level of power?" Kari asked.
"You really should have a meaning instead of just doing it by doing it," War Greymon said, "I know it won't be easy but here's what we will do."
"Ok?"
"Gatomon. We are going to get you to evolve into your mega level form. First, I want you to use the pain of loss."
"Ok. So you basically want me to picture it," said Gatomon.
"Yes. That's it basically. Now pretend that Virus is killing me and everybody else."
Gatomon stood there growling to herself while clenching her fists. But then, she turned towards War Greymon with a questioned look on her face.
"Um, wait. I haven't even seen Virus yet."
"Ok then. Try to picture Myotismon then."
Gatomon nodded and then she angrily looked back to when she was a slave to Myotismon. She could remember all of those times that she was abused by her former master.
"Every time you look at me with those eyes, I will have to hurt you. Those eyes, I knew from that day forward that you would soon betray. You are going to pay for what you have done, you little traitor. Those who play together, lose together."
"I'm not afraid and if there's one thing that I've been looking forward in doing is defeating you, Myotismon! I am the eighth digimon!"
Gatomon could even easily remember when Myotismon killed her best friend, Wizardmon. She will never forget that day and will always cherish the moments that she had with Wizardmon. She never got the chance to thank him for everything that he has done for her.
"Thank you for everything, Gatomon."
"You saved me… I'm sorry… Wizardmon.."
Then she could remember when she first digivolved into Angewomon and easily put Myotismon away with her Celestial Arrow.
"Myotismon. You try to destroy humans and digimon alike! How do you justify yourself?!"
Then Gatomon could remember when they had their first battle against Burizalor. The tyrant was a far greater monster than Myotismon ever hoped to be.
Gatomon cried out angrily as an aura of light appeared all around her. Kari held her hand over her chest and kneeled down. Her D-3 released a large amount of light and it started to cover Gatomon. She felt her ki level increase as she quickly evolved into Angewomon.
[Digimon Adventure theme "Brave Heart" plays]
Angewomon flew up and her body started to transform into that of a dragon. Her body was mainly a pink color with a set of horns on her head.
"Wow, how beautiful..." Kari said, "Is that Gatomon's mega form?"
[Magnadramon. Mega-Level. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Dramon's Breathe & Dramon Shield]
"Yes, Kari. I am Magnadramon," she said in a thunderous voice, "We used the pain of loss to finally evolve me into my mega leveled form."
"Tai. We did it!" Kari said, "So is this step one?"
"Yeah and from here we will guide you through the procedures and the steps in reaching the fusion level but it will require a lot of patience on yours and Gatomon's parts. Are you two really up for it," asked Tai.
"Yeah. We are. You won't be disappointed," Kari said, "Isn't that right Magnadramon?"
"Right on."
"I never imagined that Gatomon would have this amount of power. It will only be a matter of time before she and Kari achieve the Amazing Grace power. They are catching on very well," Tai said to himself.
"We'll continue this tomorrow but for now, let us all retire to our beds," War Greymon said, "Rest is just as important as the training."
***************************************************************************************
Virus goes flying back as he was punched away by Metalla X. Virus goes crashing down into the water but he managed to stop himself and hover right back up in order to meet up with Metalla X.
"Virus!"
Virus heard his name being called and managed to turn around to see if anybody was behind him. Nobody was there. As soon as he turned around, he was met with several rapid punches by Metalla X. His punches were so fast that not even Virus was able to detect and block them out. There were little dents forming all over Virus because of this.
Metalla X appears right in front of Virus with a huge smirk on his face. Virus felt all of the dents all over his body.
"Ahhh, what's wrong? I hope I'm not hurting you that bad? It would be a damn shame if you were to throw in the towel al ready? Oh well, I guess I managed to win this poor excuse of a battle."
"Ahhh, poor Yamato. You just don't understand do you?"
"Oh yeah? Try me?"
Virus quickly uncovered himself, shoots out a large energy blast from his mouth, and sends it hurtling towards Metalla X. Metalla X quickly phases away from the blast and reappears out of nowhere. He turns around and is drilled with a punch to the face by Virus. The fused warrior goes flying back and down into the water. Virus shoots out another mouth blast and watches as it nails Metalla X. A huge explosion takes place and there seemed to be nothing left of Metalla X. Angemon X watched on to make sure that his young father was not destroyed so quickly and effortlessly.
Virus looked down and started laughing hysterically. He was pretty sure and confident that he already had won the battle already. He used almost everything he had in those two blasts. He then looked down at Angemon X and noticed him being cool and clam all of a sudden.
"Dimitri? What does he think he's looking at?!"
Suddenly, Virus felt a tremendous energy level and gasped in total shock. He turned around and was met with a power kick to the face by Metalla X. Virus goes flying back from the huge impact and crashes down onto the island below. Metalla X quickly hovers down to where Virus was laying. Now a huge smile forms across his face.
"So... Had enough fun for now, Virus? I think we should be ending these little games."
"Ha. You still haven't seen anything yet. Metalla X, I will now show you the true depth of power and you will not be disappointed! I'll see to that!"
Metalla X stood there as he felt the ground around him starting to shake as if earthquakes were starting to take place. Virus let out an aura of green light and felt himself starting to tremble with more power surging through his artificial body. Virus' aura started to cause a dention into the ground and Metalla X was quite impressed at what he was seeing.
"His power is increasing dramatically. I just hope your very careful, young father. Don't underestimate him," Angemon X said to himself.
"He's getting much stronger. I can definitely feel his power reaching new heights," Black War Greymon said.
But as soon as Virus finished powering up, he looked around and saw a large crater formed on the ground. He looked over towards Metalla X and an angry look came across his face. Metalla X quickly lands on his feet and faces off the evil monster.
"Ahhh. So you can increase your power level at all. But it still won't save you."
"I admire your courage, Metalla X. But your over confidence shall be your downfall. You're nothing more than a jack ass!"
"Oh boy. This is going to get rough," Angemon X whispered to himself.
"So aren't you going to make your next move, Metalla X? Because if you won't, then I will!"
Virus quickly flies right at Metalla X. Everything seem to go into slow motion as Metalla X walks backwards. Then Metalla X's head goes jerking back as Virus' fist connects with his face. Angemon X watched with total shock and could not believe that Virus was able to connect with a fist to Metalla X.
Virus stood there with a smirk on his face but soon his smile turns into a gasp of fear. Virus walked backwards and watched as Metalla X turned to face him. A trickle of blood was coming down from Metalla X's mouth but he quickly wiped it off.
"That one was free. Now I'm going to show you what real power is."
"Your not, Yamato… You're not Gabumon… You're not even Metalla X. No, you've changed! You've become someone else!"
Metalla X quickly points to himself and a huge smirk forms across his face. He was quickly gaining back his confidence because of this.
"Thats right. We are Super Metalla X."
Metalla X has showed Virus what he's really made of and has quickly surpassed the evil monster in power. But what if he defeats Virus? What if Metalla X becomes an even bigger monster than Virus?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Metalla X's Pride Overcomes Virus! Daisuke-Shut Down Sonja!
Virus stood right in front of Metalla X with a very intense look on his face. He clenched his fists tightly and growled under his breath. He couldn't believe that he was getting taken apart by Metalla X. He was so sure that he could have wiped out Metalla X by now, but that wasn't the case. Meanwhile, Metalla X was simply calm. A huge smirk was right on his face and he didn't even let Virus bother one tiny bit.
The artificials watched on from a far off distance behind some huge bushes. They had just witnessed what seemed to be a very powerful warrior in Metalla X. They were quite shocked to even see Virus struggle against him.
"Virus is scared of Metalla X? This is too unreal. Metalla X is basically taking him apart," Sonja said.
"Amazing. I've never felt this tremendous energy from one single force," Black War Greymon thought. "I hope for sure that Metalla X will indeed finish off Virus as he was supposed to have done."
Virus punched the ground with intense rage as he looked up and faced Metalla X.
"How did you get this much power? Enlighten me now!"
"Ha. All I did were just your basic normal routine exercises. Like some sit-ups, pushups, curl ups, cardio running and taking my vitamins. There, is that proof enough?"
"No! This can't be happening! You should be dead by now, because back in the future time, artificial Jax killed you. But I absorbed Jax and I have all of his abilities in addition to my own! This just isn't possible, you bluffing!"
"Look, prove my bluff then. You're just mad that I'm easily kicking your ass and you can't even touch me. But I'll tell you what. I make things much easier for you. Ok?"
Virus stomps the ground and creates a hole in the ground. He watches as Metalla X turns his back on him.
"Ok, now. My back is turned. How is that?"
Virus angrily stomps the ground and cries out in tremendous anger and rage. Metalla X was basically just toying with him. But now he wasn't going to take any more crap from Metalla X, he plans on finishing this fight once and for all. So from there he can proceed on to absorb Sonja to complete his evolution.
"Young father. I hope you realize that this needs to be ended now. Why haven't you finished off Virus by now? This isn't the time to letting your ego get the best of you," Angemon said to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Paildramon and Stingmon were surveying around the area where many islands once stood. They were sure that there were islands here the other day but now nothing.
"This is odd. I could have sworn that Stingmon and I surveyed this area. There were islands on this exact spot," Ken said.
"Well, where ever they are, they're gone. I know for a fact that this could have been Virus' dirty work," Paildramon said.
"Then he isn't too far away," Stingmon replied.
Suddenly Paildramon and Stingmon felt a tremendous ki from over in the east side. They growled as they felt a dark presence from there.
"What is it Stingmon?" asked Ken.
"I feel a dark presence over in the east direction," Stingmon replied, "And that could only mean one thing."
"Yep. Virus. He's close by," Paildramon said, "And I'm sure that the artificials are close by as well. We better get there as fast as we possibly can."
"So we basically got to shut down these things with just this handheld device alone?" Davis asked in Paildramon's thoughts.
"You got that right and we're going to get it done," Paildramon replied, "So are we ready to go…"
"Hold on! Wait for me!" cried out a voice.
They all turned to see TK riding on Pegasusmon. The young boy waved over to them in order to get their attention.
"TK! We were wondering if you would ever show up," Ken said, "Thanks for coming."
"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't miss my brother in action for the whole world," TK replied.
"Wait a minute?! Matt and Gabumon are already over there now?" asked Stingmon.
"Yeah along with Dimitri. They're stopping Virus at the moment and that will give you guys the chance to shutting down those artificials," TK said.
"But we better hurry. Those artificials could have left the island right about now," Pegasusmon said.
They all nodded in agreement and headed over towards the east direction where all of the action was taking place. But they had better hurry or something disastrous could take place by now.
***************************************************************************************
Virus hops onto a nearby cliff ledge and gets into a fighting position. He slowly cups his hands together and wrenches them backwards. Metalla X turns to face him.
"As you should know by now, your DNA is apart of me. And I have your own attacks to go along with it," Virus said.
The evil artificial begins to power up a single mass of energy in his hands and then it got bigger. Angemon X could easily tell what the attack was and knew what was coming in a few moments.
"Wait a second. That's my father's Ice Barrier Beam technique!"
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
Virus pushes his hands forwards and shoots out a huge, icy blast. The blast goes hurtling towards Metalla X at a tremendous rate but Metalla X just stood there with a smirk on his face. He gets into a blocking position as he crosses his arms and lets the blast engulf him. A huge explosion occurs and causes the whole area that they were standing around on to explode.
**************************************************************************************
"Whoa! There I see some sort of blast being fired over on that island!" Ken cried out.
"No doubt that they are there," said Paildramon, "And that was one of Metalla X's attacks. It's got to be him."
"Or it could have been Virus. Remember, he has everyone of our attacks," Pegasusmon said.
"No surprise there," TK said.
"We better take a look at this action and we'll determine the perfect time to make our next move," said Stingmon.
"Agreed!" they all said in unison.
They looked down to watch the fight ensue between the two super powers. They could see a huge cloud of smoke engulfing a large portion of the island itself.
***************************************************************************************
As the smoke began to clear away, the ground started to shake up and debris spread apart in every direction. Virus slowly gets to his feet and looks over to see the large cloud of smoke starting to clear away.
A huge grin formed across his face but then it turns into an expression of complete shock as the smoke cleared away. What he saw standing right before him was none other than Metalla X. But this time, there was a blue metallic aura glowing around his body and the spikes on his back were sharper than ever.
Angemon X quickly sighed a relief as he saw his young father withstanding such a devastating attack and it was Metalla X's own attack. Virus still couldn't believe that he was unable to penetrate Metalla X.
"I can't believe this! How are you able to withstand such a blow," Virus asked frantically.
"Like I said, my power far surpasses yours. You just won't admit that your getting your ass kicked by a fused warrior such as ourselves."
"Damn you!"
"Wow! Metalla X is radical! I must hand it to you, your brother sure knows how to deliver a good ass kicking," Paildramon said.
"Mmmhmm. We shouldn't have any problems as long as he's around. Virus doesn't realize what he's up against," TK said.
"Man I really wish what kind of training he and Dimitri were taking in that chamber," Ken said.
"Look! I see Angemon X over on that canyon ridge," said Stingmon.
They all looked down to see Angemon X watching the battle ensue. It was as if he had the front row seats.
"Dude! I wonder what kind of vitamins Dimitri is taking?" said Paildramon. "We could use a little training in that chamber if we wanted."
"Well first, we have to shut down those artificials and then we can let Metalla X get his job done. And from there, we can enjoy a little free time," Pegasusmon said, "But we got important business to accomplish first. You got the remote control, Paildramon?"
"Right here and I'm ready to turn their lights off," Paildramon replied, "I wonder if you can use this to get free cable too."
Virus gets even angrier and he begins to charge right at Metalla X. He shoots out a barrage of multiple ki blast but Metalla X easily warded them off with just the palm of his hands. Virus goes to punch Metalla X but Metalla X easily maneuvers to the side and delivers a devastating knee to his gut. Metalla X flips over Virus. He gets behind him and then delivers a spinning wheel kick to the back of Virus' head.
Virus goes flying back and crashes into several rocky ledges. The force of the impact caused the ledges to explode into nothing but a pile of debris. Virus finds himself crashing down into the ground as he falls face first.
Virus quickly gets to his feet and wipes the blood from his mouth. He turns to see Metalla X flying right at him and then delivering a power punch to his face. Virus goes falling back as he is left a battered and bloody mess.
"Wow. I can't believe at what I'm seeing here," TK said, "My brother and Gabumon are unbelievable. They're bigger, faster and stronger than Tai was as Omega X."
"No kidding. I'm speechless," Ken said.
**************************************************************************************
Leomon and X observed the battle and Leomon was beginning to fear for the worst to come.
"Well, at least we're winning, right Leomon?" asked X, "I mean Metalla X is unstoppable. Virus hasn't even made a single scratch on him."
"Its Metalla X who's winning, not us," Leomon replied.
"Yeah. I can certainly understand and find it hard to trust in Metalla X sometimes. He's certainly the opposite of Omega X."
"So, what's been going on?" asked Yolei, "How has Matt been faring? Is he still kicking Virus' good for nothing butt?"
"Yes but we should be more worried how long that will last," Leomon said.
"What do you mean?" Hawkmon asked.
"I mean the fact that its hard to trust in Metalla X's abilities sometimes," X stated.
"I can certainly understand that," said Yolei, "So when are the others going to go and shut down those artificials?"
"Ken, TK and Davis should be over on the island by now," Leomon said.
"As a matter of fact, they are," replied Azulongmon, "As you can see on the viewing orb, they are watching the battle as we speak. But they know that they have a task to accomplish."
"Ken. I hope you make it through this whole ordeal in one peace," Yolei said in thought.
"Yolei? What's wrong?" asked Hawkmon.
Yolei looked down at Hawkmon and blushed a bit. Hawkmon began to ponder on what she was thinking and shrugged his shoulders.
"Damn it! You better stop toying with him, Metalla X! Your putting all of our lives at risk," Leomon said in his thoughts.
***************************************************************************************
"Terra Force!"
War Greymon tossed several of his patented Terra Force attacks and quickly shattered away some icy glaciers in the wide-open empty space. Illusions will often start to appear and that is what this whole training is all about.
"Great work, War Greymon! You definitely are a one 'mon wrecking crew!"
"You haven't seen anything yet, Tai. Watch this."
War Greymon hovers up and begins to power up his ki. His body was then covered by an orange aura of light. He quickly spins into a tornado and at the same time begins to power up to twenty times of his normal maximum.
"Mega Claw! Times Twenty!"
War Greymon quickly spins through several rising glaciers in a matter of moments and leaves them as nothing but a pile of icy debris.
"Tai! Tai! Over here!"
Tai turned around to see his younger sister waving over to him. He runs over to where she was standing and she quickly pointed up to see Magnadramon powering up her ki.
"Wow that's impressive Kari. But she can do any attacks and not just stand around and power up her ki level?" asked Tai.
"Sure. Ok, Magnadramon! Let 'em have it!"
Magnadramon quickly powered up her ki level and a pink aura of light surrounded her. She then flies up and opens her mouth. A green fire blast came shooting out of her mouth and down into the ground.
"Dramon Fire!"
But instead of it going at a normal rate, the blast went at a super sonic speed and penetrated through the gigantic glacier in a matter of seconds. Then the glacier exploded in no time flat. Nothing was left of it but icy debris.
"Wow. That's awesome. You two are really catching on."
"Yeah, but we're not even at the fusion level. This is just your basic. You think I'll ever fuse with Gatomon," asked Kari, "And how do we really know that we possess the amazing power of the Amazing Grace."
"Hey quit on me already. You're really catching on. As a matter of fact, you're catching on better than I did during my year of training in here with Agumon sometime ago."
"No you're just saying that."
"No. I'm dead serious. Don't worry so much and don't even put all of the pressure on yourself. You're going to catch on. I promise."
"That makes me feel good about myself, after listening to you. Thank you, big brother."
"Anything to cheer up my baby little sister."
"Tai, I'm not a baby, ok? So what do we do now?"
"Our digimon need a little more time to train, so lets allow them to train until their bodies start to wear out. You and I are hitting the snack bar now! Last on there has to mop the floors!"
"Oh no! You're not beating me to it again! I'm not mopping the floors ever again! Ha! Ha!"
The two siblings raced each other to determine who would indeed mop the floors while their digimon continued their training sessions.
****************************************************************************************
A huge explosion occurred in the skies above and then followed by that were bright flashes of lights colliding with one another. Suddenly, somebody was falling down from the sky. It was Virus. He found himself crashing down into the ground below and causing a huge crater to add to his devastating fall. Virus slowly gets to his feet but he is much too battered to even move a single muscle.
Metalla X flies down to meet up with Virus and a huge smirk forms across his face.
"Are we getting mad already?" Metalla X asked in a convincing manner. "Too damn bad. You're going to have to live with the fact that a fused warrior is much too superior to you artificials."
"No! I refuse to believe that! Its not true!"
Virus goes flying right at Metalla X and goes to punch him right in the face but Metalla X twists to the side and delivers a chop to the side of the face of Virus. Virus goes flying back and crashing down into the water below. Metalla X smiled and flew right down into the water to follow Virus.
"Ugh! Matt! Now why did you have to go and do that for?" TK asked angrily.
"He's wasting our time," Paildramon said, "But I say we go down and do our part already. I've just about seen enough of Matt's obnoxious ways."
Virus found himself underwater and he began to look around his surroundings. He could find nothing but an ocean full of underwater life. However, there weren't any signs of Metalla X anywhere. Virus began to pick up a huge reading nearby and he begins to power up a ki blast. Suddenly, he felt a shadow looming by and turns around to blast whoever was behind him. To his surprise, he shot a shark and watched as it exploded.
Virus angrily cried out and began to power up his ki level once again. He hovered towards the top and shoots away a barrage of ki blasts in order to clear away the coral reef. This way he could easily track down Metalla X and attack him at any given opportunity.
Virus hovers down to the ocean bottoms and surveyed the area. So far, nothing has been happening and he was beginning to think that this whole situation was pointless at the moment. But just as Virus was about to make his grand exit, two hands popped out from the sands below and grabbed Virus by his feet. Virus looked down and tried to break free but Metalla X jumped out of nowhere and delivers an uppercut to the monster's chin. The force of the uppercut sent Virus flying up and into the skies. Metalla X goes and follows him up as well.
Virus stops himself and looks down to see Metalla X flying up towards him. Just as Virus was about to fire another barrage of ki blasts, Metalla X quickly phases out. Virus gasps in shock and gets nailed in the side of the head with a devastating kick. Virus goes flying back but then Metalla X reappears above him and delivers a power kick to his gut. Virus cries out in pain and falls down through the water below.
Metalla X hovered around the ocean's surface with a huge smirk on his face. He begins to feel a huge energy level coming out of the water and Virus quickly jumps out to surprise attack Metalla X. However, this attack proved useless as Metalla X quickly sees him coming and delivers a devastating kick to the stomach of Virus. The evil artificial cries out angrily and holds his stomach.
"You mark my words! I will find a way to defeat you!"
"So, is that what you were doing down in the waters this whole time? Thinking of a way to beat me? Ha. I find that hard to believe!"
Virus growled angrily and clenched his fists. He became so angry that blood was trickling from his hands. Metalla X held out his right hand and motions to Virus to 'bring it'. This infuriated Virus even more as he goes and flies right at Metalla X for another round of hard clashing and bashing.
Virus misses a punch and gets a kick to the side of his head for his troubles. Virus goes falling down into the ground but he manages to flip over and land on his feet. He looks up to see Metalla X smiling at him.
"You got him against the ropes now, young father. Now would be the perfect time to end this battle. Please don't let your ego consume you. You have to end this fight," Angemon X said.
Virus looks over towards Metalla X and stomps his foot down onto the ground angrily as if he were about to throw a hissy fit like a small child. He punched the ground and cried out with pure rage burning up inside of him.
"This can't be happening to me! Do you hear me, Metalla X?! I am Virus, the most powerful being in two worlds!"
Metalla X simply did not answer but he managed to get in a snide remark just to irritate Virus even more.
"You are nothing."
Virus goes flying right at Metalla X and goes to throw a punch at him but Metalla X quickly ducks under and goes behind Virus. Metalla X holds out his hand and shoots out a blast from behind and sends Virus crashing down into the waters.
Metalla X lands onto a canyon ledge and turns to face the waters as he waited for his adversary to jump out and attack. But this time, Virus just jumps out and shakes the water off of his body. Virus looks up at Metalla X with an angry look on his face and his eyes with veins quickly popping out in them.
"How?! How are you able to achieve this much power?! I absorbed Jax and you should be nothing to me! Not the other way around!"
"Virus. Allow me to introduce you to somebody else who has been training under the same conditions as I have. My son over there. His name is Dimitri. He's not quite as strong as I am, but there is quite a difference between us. He has a lot of power under his caliber. No surprise since he's my son."
Virus looks over towards Angemon X with a shocked look on his face and angrily growled to himself. Now he would have to deal with two super powers that are way above him as far as power level was concerned.
"If by any miracle you managed to beat me, Dimitri would have finished you off! Do you now see how pointless this battle has been?! Face it, Virus. You took a damn gamble and you lost this little game!"
"This doesn't make sense! How could you achieved this large amount of power?! Damn you!" A huge aura was forming around Virus as the ground under his feet was starting to shatter away. His anger was building up and causing his power to increase as a result.
"Your the one who started this game and now you don't want to finish it?! Your just a shitty warrior!"
Virus cried out angrily and clenched his fists with pure rage. He wasn't going to let such an adversary such as Metalla X talk to him like that. He won't allow such foolishness to further embarrass him and destroy his pride altogether.
"Noo! You wouldn't be saying this if I had completed my evolution! You would be nothing to me if I was to absorb artificial model Sonja!"
Paildramon quickly picked up to what Virus was saying and gasped.
"Hey you guys! He didn't absorb artificial Sonja just yet! This is our chance to make our next move!"
"Perfect! Lets make sure that we don't get seen," TK said.
They all nodded in agreement and went ahead to make their next move towards the island and to avoid being seen or detected by the artificials.
"Yamato! Please, allow me to absorb artificial model Sonja. That way, you would have a much better challenge. I know you thrive on competition, so what do you say? Do we have a deal? Its that simple!"
"Father! Hell no! He's deceiving you! Don't listen to a damn thing that he says," Angemon X said in thought.
The artificials watched on and they couldn't believe to what they were hearing. Sonja's life was now at stake but would Metalla X go along with Virus' agreement.
"C'mon? What do you say? Is it an agreement then?"
"Ha! You still sound like a big wuss who's trying to get his way again!"
"Shit! This isn't happening! No!"
Paildramon, Stingmon and Pegasusmon flies across the island in hopes of finding the artificials. Ken and TK looked down and surveyed the area. No signs of the artificials anywhere. The digimon couldn't even pick up their ki since they don't possess any.
"This is just so strange. I have a feeling that the artificials would be on this island since Virus blew up the other islands," said Stingmon.
"And since we can't sense their kis, it will make it much more difficult for us to locate them," said Paildramon.
"We're just going to have to look harder," Pegasusmon replied, "Or else we could very well lose the artificials. No telling is Virus was able to find them before we have a chance to shut them down."
"Well I don't think we have to worry about Virus at the moment," replied TK, "Take a look down there."
He points down towards the island and something is obviously going down between Virus and Metalla X. The ground is shaking and rocks are starting to rise from the ground. Some major power is unleashing a large amount of ki and it obviously was Virus.
"Oh man. I wouldn't want to be Virus now," Ken said, "He gets a lot angrier than I ever have when I was the Digimon Kaiser."
"Yes and this guy is giving me a major headache with all of his whining," Stingmon remarked.
Paildramon looks down at the remote control and visions of Sonja appear in his mind randomly.
"I'm going to have to shut down Sonja. But there's something that is telling me that I shouldn't and its holding me back," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
"So, are we ready to shut down some artificials?" asked Paildramon.
"We might as well. Dude, if only you could understand how I feel right now. I know this is the right thing to do but do I really need to shut down Sonja. I mean she couldn't be all that bad, unlike Jax of course. There's something that I like about her and… Err… No… You can always go after Kari but she's all chummy with TK…"
"Hello. Earth to Davis! Come in!" Paildramon said.
"I'm ready. Lets do this. Oh man. I can't believe that I just said that."
Meanwhile back down below, there was a huge power increase-taking place and the energy signal was coming from Virus. He was letting his rage and anger get the best of him at this very moment.
"Arghh! Damn it! Damn it!"
Virus was starting to catch his breath and punching the ground with his fists. Then he throws his head back and roars at the sky. His eyes are closed and then he loses his insanity all together. Sunlight begins to shine down upon him.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, the ground below him starts to form some cracks. Tons of rocky debris flies out from around him at all directions.
"Wow. What an insane anger," TK said. "Talk about issues."
"He's obviously has lost his insanity altogether," replied Stingmon.
"No kidding. Man I wouldn't want to be Matt by now," said Ken.
Metalla X stands on the cliff ridge. He hasn't even moved a muscle and has watched Virus began to make a complete fool out of himself. He could only just witness the monster throwing a major temper tantrum.
The entire piece of land that Virus was standing on suddenly breaks apart and slides down into the water. He then finally stops screaming and stands there in the middle of the destruction. He begins panting as he has lost a lot of his composure.
"If I could have reached my full evolution… He would mean nothing to me," Virus muttered under his breath.
Metalla X quickly heard his comments and was taking it under consideration. He began to listen to him even further.
"If I could have reached my full evolution… He would mean nothing to me whatsoever! He could never match up to me if I had absorbed Sonja into my being! He craves for a challenge well he's going to get one!"
Metalla X then flies down towards Virus and decides to listen to what he has to say. He was sick of Virus' rambling and was thinking of Virus' proposition.
"What is it that I heard you say? Did I just hear you say, that if you had completed your full evolution then I would not stand a chance against you?"
"That's right! You would be nothing to me! I would be the superior being! You would be a nobody to me!"
"So, this is true or just a pile of crap?"
"No! I can't possibly lose in the terms of speed, strength, techniques, wisdom, and will power, and everything! I'll become fully evolved! That's what Datamon's computer told me! Even you would get tossed around by my awesome power!"
Metalla X growls angrily and delivers a kick to the side of Virus' head. Virus goes flying back and through a rock wall. He manages to stop himself from flying back and crashing through any more rock walls. He groans and pushes himself up.
"Damn…" Metalla X instantly lands behind him. He starts to walk up towards Virus with a cool and calm look on his face.
"I won't lose if I reached my full evolution!"
Metalla X walks up towards him. Virus stands up and clenches his fists in pure anger.
"I will defeat you!"
But then, Metalla X comes up from behind and kicks him in the side of the head. Virus falls down onto the ground and slides face first into the dirt.
Sonja watches on in amazement as she brushes her hair back. She couldn't believe that Virus was now getting his ass handed to him by Metalla X.
"Amazing. When he fought me, did he purposely reduce his power?"
"No. He didn't have to do so," Black War Greymon replied, "It looks like something has happened during these last few days."
"What?! What has happened to make him become this?!"
Paildramon, Pegasusmon and Stingmon fly overhead across the island. They look back and forth, seeing nothing before them.
"See anything yet?" asked Ken.
"Ahh! Yeah! We found them! It's the artificials! Sonja and Black War Greymon!" exclaimed Paildramon.
He points down and they all look down to see the artificials sitting behind a group of bushes observing the battle that is raging on.
"I found her! She's here after all," Paildramon said.
Paildramon's hands slowly open up and the controller falls out. He quickly reacts to this and quickly snatches it. He looks back down at the artificals.
"No one found her? Virus, Metalla, and even Dimitri haven't even noticed her,"Davis pondered to himself.
"Paildramon! You can go shut down those artificials. TK and I are going to go down to observe the fight," Ken said.
"Alright. I'll catch up to you guys later," said Paildramon.
Pegasusmon and Stingmon fly off towards the other side of the island where they would observe the battle that is heating up between Virus and Metalla X.
Paildramon looks down at the remote control and then at the kill switch. Davis isn't sure of what to do, should he not or should be shut down Sonja with the switch.
"Stop Sonja with the controller, then destroy her. Then Virus cannot become a whole body and Sonja can be defeated."
He gulps and remembers what Izzy told him.
"You have to get a very close range in order for it to work."
"Alright! Here goes nothing! We got a job to do!"
He flies down towards the island and lands between some cliffs and trees. He was now out of the artificial's sight and then he nods to himself before continuing on.
Back on the battlefield, Virus grunts to himself as he falls down yet again. He wasn't going to be humiliated any longer. He has allowed this to go on far enough and now he would get down to business. He pulls his head out of the dirt and breathes heavily. Metalla X walks towards him at a leisurely pace. Virus jumps up to his feet.
"If Sonja can be absorbed…"
Just then, Metalla X stretches his arm, then his palm out and placed right on Virus' back. Virus turns around to face him.
"No, Yamato. Please, let me explain."
Metalla X simply smiles and sends out a ki blast. The blast quickly sends Virus flying back. He screams out and finds himself flying a few yards before falling to the ground and being lost in the ensuing explosion.
Paildramon slowly walks around the hills towards Sonja. He wanted to be sure that he didn't make a single sound that would suddenly alarm the artificials. He walked quietly like a mouse with the remote control in the palm of his hand.
"Jax is gone. There's no doubt in my mind that Virus absorbed him. I saw him get swallowed up earlier today. So Virus' strength has gone up and he's already transformed."
Paildramon slows down a bit as he starts near a corner around a cliff.
Metalla X walks towards the settling dust cloud. Inside the cloud, Virus groans to himself. He lifts a hand to the edge of the crater and pulls himself up. He starts to pant heavily and stares right at Metalla X.
Paildramon tiptoes to the edge of the cliff and leans back up against it. He wants to make sure that he doesn't get spotted immediately. He peers around the side and looks down at the artificials. He gasps and spins around.
"We've found them! Don't let them see us. Go within a perimeter of about fifteen meters."
Paildramon looks back and sighs heavily to himself.
"We'll be dead meat if they find us. We can't allow that to happen."
Sonja stares intensely into the battle and is more worried about Virus possibly getting to her rather than knowing that she and Black War Greymon are being watched.
Suddenly, Davis flashes back to when she kissed him a couple of days ago during the first artificial battles. Paildramon's eyes go all wide for a second but then he shakes the thoughts out of his head. He gasps and spins back behind the cliff.
"At this crucial moment?! What am I thinking?!"
Flashback
Davis saw Sonja walking up to him with a smile on her face. He looked up at her and she bent over to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Uhh… What?"
"Help your friends. It's the best way to go. Well, bye cutie."
End of Flashback
"Oh that kiss. How could I ever forget that?"
Back on the battle grounds, Virus stares intensely at Metalla X and slowly starts to pull himself out from the edge of the crater.
"This is ridiculous! Your power is laughable, Virus! I can't believe that we were so worried about you! But I can easily tell that there's such a big gap between us. Now if I allowed you to absorb the other artificial, then you would give me the challenge that I have been looking for?"
"Yes! It would be the ultimate challenge! Are you up for it?!"
"Well let's just say that I am thinking about it."
Angemon X gasps at what has been just said. He couldn't bear the thought of Virus in his full evolution. He also couldn't believe the fact that his own father is going to let Virus absorb the other artificial.
"No, young father. You can't allow him! He's deceived you! Your making a big mistake," Angemon X said in thought.
Black War Greymon gasped at what has been said and turned to face Sonja.
"What's wrong, Black War Greymon?"
"Sonja! Leave me behind! You must go now! I think Metalla X is going to allow Virus go to absorb you for the sport of competition."
Sonja stood there in complete shock and looked to her every direction in hopes of finding herself an escape route off of the island.
"What do you say, Yamato? You really would love to know who is the best, because I know you. You thrive on being the best and battling the best. Its no different that you always wanted to be leader of the Digi-Destined and take Taichi's place."
Virus climbs out of the hole and stares down Metalla X. All other eyes are on these two; they waited to see what kind of decision Metalla X shall make.
"You enjoy the sport of fighting and it was you that wanted to fight Taichi to the very death to claim a spot as leader of the Chosen Children, am I right? So what do you say, you would get an even bigger challenge if you allow me to absorb Sonja. Please, I hope you realize where I am trying to come from here."
Paildramon looks back around the tree towards Sonja. His hands start to shake.
"What's wrong, Davis?"
"Within those fifteen meters…"
Paildramon runs out from behind his tree and up to another rock wall that's closer to the artificials. He looks out from behind his new wall. Neither artificial has spotted him. He looks down at the controller.
"Alright. Even if we use his controller to stop Sonja, if we don't destroy her, she will be absorbed by Virus."
His hands start to tremble and he looks back at Sonja. She hasn't even noticed him yet. Then he envisions Virus picking Sonja up by her head.
"I think I can destroy her. It seems that Black War Greymon can't move at all. We only have one chance now."
Then he remembers Sonja kissing him and he quickly rubs his cheek to shake out the thoughts. He looks back at her.
"Sonja used to be a lovely girl. If only she hadn't been remade by that scumbag Datamon. She's so beautiful. There's no reason to destroy her."
"Ummm Davis. She's an artificial. We have to do this!"
"If she's absorbed by Virus, he will reach his full evolution. All human beings will be killed in this world and the digital world will be destroyed at the same time!"
He tries to push the button, but he just can't bring himself to do it.
"I must! I can't! Must! Can't! Must! Can't! Must! Can't!"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the training chamber, Tai and Kari were munching on some grub, which were rice balls and soup.
"I must say Tai, this is probably your best cooking I've ever had. I never knew you could make rice balls and soup," Kari said.
"Yeah. Matt taught me how to make these during the time of peace. It's pretty fun when you learn how to cook. You should try it out sometime," Tai said.
"Hmmm. I guess once I become a house wife then I could," replied Kari, "But starting now would be the perfect way to go."
"Yeah."
"So, Tai? Don't you think this is just a waste of our time? I mean don't you think that we should be out there training our digimon instead of eating like pigs?"
"Nah, because I learned that rest is just as important as it is to train, maybe even more important."
"Really?"
"Sure. If we allow ourselves to rest, then we can work even harder the very next time we decide to train our digimon. So no more worrying?"
"Right. No more worrying. But promise me one thing."
"What's that?"
"We don't slack off? Is that cool?"
"Sure, no problem. Now, how about we feed our digimon. I'm pretty sure they're starving by now."
"Yeah. Hey guys! Dinner is ready! Come and get it!"
Within a matter of seconds, Gatomon and Agumon quickly appeared and snatched away their partner's bowls. They then quickly started to consume whatever food they had left.
"Well they certainly know how to make pigs out of themselves," Tai said.
"No kidding. They got bottomless pits!"
**************************************************************************************
Paildramon stares down at the remote control with his fingers on the button. He can't even decide whether to push it or not. This was a very hard choice for him to make but the right thing to do would definitely be to push the button. Sonja watches the battle with a clueless look on her face.
"To destroy, or not to destroy. That is the question. Ugh, c'mon Davis! Get that Shakespeare crap out of your head!"
He quickly looks back to when Sonja kissed him on the cheek a couple of days ago. He still couldn't get those thoughts out of his head. He still had feelings for her ever since that day but could he actually fall in love with an artificial? His hands tremble and he looks down at the control. His eyes shut tightly and the thoughts of Sonja started to replay in his mind over and over again like a broken record. He's picturing her looking straight at him. Finally, he opens his eyes and drops the control down to the ground.
"No I can't do it. I love her."
"What are you crazy, Davis?!"
The clatter from it's landing startles both of the artificials. They both look over to Paildramon. Sonja gasps and Paildramon stares over at them.
"Hey. Your Davis aren't you? You fused with Veemon didn't you?" asked Sonja.
She looks down at what he dropped and gasps in shock.
"Hey isn't that a controller for emergency stop?! But where did he get one?
Paildramon stares her down in silence as they both faced each other off.
"So, don't you want to fight me when I'm in my fully evolved form? You love to fight so why don't you allow me to absorb Sonja and you will get the challenge that you have been craving for."
"Well. I didn't know you knew me so well, Virus."
"That's because you're DNA is apart of me."
"That's why?"
"Yes. That's the main reason why."
Angemon X hears this and steps towards the edge of the cliff to get a better hearing of their conversation.
"Al right. You have managed to arouse my curiosity. You were lucky this time. No go, absorb that artificial!"
"No! Father!"
"Maybe the next time that we meet, you won't be in such a pitiful state. Its quite embarrassing."
Virus simply grins and looks around his surroundings in search of the artificial.
"Father, no! Don't do that! That is your biggest weakness!"
"Shut up, you fool! Mind your own damn business! Our fusion has ascended to the fusion level! I need the best competition that I can find and a fully evolved Virus will be that competition that I need. Now go, Virus! Or else I will have to change my mind!"
Virus smiles and flies up into the air to go search for Sonja. He looks back down at Metalla X and smiles.
"This better be worthy it, Virus!"
"Hehe. You won't be disappointed. You're a stupid bastard, Yamato."
Suddenly, Virus stops in place, as Angemon X appears right in front of him. He quickly transforms into his ultimate fusion stage and Virus is quickly caught by surprise. Angemon X had moved so fast that not even Virus could have detected his movements.
"If my young father won't stop you! Then I will!"
Virus stares right at Angemon X and quivers with severe anger building up inside of him.
Paildramon looks down at the remote control and was now going to make the ultimate choice. Would he destroy the artificial or let her go?
"Izzy, although you made the remote control and worked hard to perfect it, I'm sorry," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
Sonja stares at him wide-eyed. Paildramon pulls his leg up, brings it down and crushes the controller with one stomp. Sonja gasps in shock at what she saw. The controller smokes under his foot.
"Sonja you shouldn't even be here. Go now. Don't let Virus absorb you. Please don't stay here. You can sneak off the island and we can lead the way! Ugh… Why are we doing this, Davis?"
The artificials look over to them and Sonja is just as confused as ever.
"Why? Why did you break the controller? That's the only way that you could have destroyed me."
Paildramon lowers his head and stares right at the ground below him.
Ken and TK couldn't believe at what they just saw. They were now angered at what Paildramon just did to the remote control.
"Great! There goes our plan! He destroyed the remote!" TK said.
"Why in the world would Davis do something like that?! He knows that both worlds are at stake here," Ken growled under his breath.
"Get lost, Dimitri! Why don't you save the time of standing in my way to help me find Sonja?" asked Virus.
"There's no need to find Sonja now."
"What?!"
"You will be destroyed by my hand only."
"What did you say?! You're still so damn arrogant!"
Virus flies forward with a punch, but Angemon X quickly dodges, grabs the monster's arm and knees him hard in the stomach. Virus cries out in pain and holds his stomach. He then kicks Virus down, but Virus catches himself in mid-air.
"Dimitri! You better get out of his way, dammit," growled Metalla X.
Virus revives himself and goes flying into another direction in hopes to escaping Angemon X. But Angemon X gets ahead of him and blocks out his path yet again. Virus stops and looks at him with an angry look on his face.
"I said I would kill you right here. Go out to fight squarely or are you too afraid of facing a warrior of my caliber, Virus?!"
"Dimitri! I asked you to stop! Now let him through!" Metalla X cried out.
Virus growls, then jumps back and throws a ki-blast right at Angemon X. Angemon X easily bats it away with ease and it explodes right into the water below.
"Father once told me my strength was similar to his. With your existing power, you can't even lay a hand on me. Don't even attempt it!"
Virus turns around and cries out in a horribly whiny voice.
"Hey Yamato! Stop this bastard son of yours!"
Just then, he quickly looks down and his eyes widen at what he was looking at. Right down below him was none other than the artificials along with Paildramon. He has his eyes locked onto Sonja. Her back was to them. A smile formed across his face. His mouth gapes open.
"Ahhh! Sonja! I've got you now!"
Angemon X follows his line of sight and sees what Virus was staring at. He looked down to see the artificials along with Paildramon. He gasped in horror and couldn't believe it.
"Oh no! The artificials! They're here on the island and Paildramon is with them!"
Just as everything was going according to plan, things have now turned for the worst. Paildramon has destroyed the remote control and now has put Sonja at risk of being discovered and absorbed. But what they don't realize is that from high above, Virus is looking down with dark and cruel intentions! Will he absorb Sonja to complete his full evolution?

Virus Reaches Full Evolution! The Fully Evolved Virus Becomes a God!
Virus looks down at the island and towards the artificials. He has finally found them. Now he has a chance to finally absorbing Sonja into his being and completing his evolution. He could not believe that Sonja was on the island this whole time and he had no idea that she was on it. But now everything seemed to be going into his favor.
"Artificial model Sonja, I've found you. So you've hidden in that kind of place? Al right, then I can become a whole body now. Power, speed, technique, wisdom, and will power. The ultimate warrior. The time when everything becomes fully evolved has now come!"
Angemon X, who was blocking Virus' pathway, turned to look at what Virus was looking at. He looked down closer and his eyes widened in shock. He gasped as he saw the two artificials along with Paildramon. They were right there on the middle of the island and fully exposed, where Virus and himself can easily see them.
"Oh no! Those are the artificials! Paildramon is with them, too! He hasn't even noticed this way at all!"
Sonja faced off Paildramon with a concerned look on her face. She was more worried than angry at the moment, and was quite surprised to see that Davis had destroyed the controller.
"What's up with that? Why did you let that chance go? What's on your mind, Davis?" asked Sonja.
"We'll you see…"
Sonja looks at him and her pure beautiful blue eyes were locked onto his. Paildramon couldn't hold his composure because of Davis seemingly falling for her.
"Oh please don't look at me with those eyes. I can't even restrain myself back."
Sonja simply gasps and Paildramon can hardly take it anymore. He wasn't going to let Davis hold him back like this. He was there on a mission and not to visit the artificials. The matter of life and death was on the line here.
"We don't have time to explain! Go and run for your life! Virus'll absorb you if you hesitate. Please, the fate of this world is in your hands! We got to get the hell out of here!"
Sonja again gasps and stays still for a moment. Could she really believe in him and get off the island? After all, her life is at stake and Virus will consume her if she doesn't leave the island right away. Suddenly, another voice calls out from above. Sonja and Paildramon look up to see who it is. It was none other than Angemon X.
"Hey! Virus knows where you are!"
Sonja, Black War Greymon and Paildramon all look up at who was staring down at them. They gasped when they saw none other than Virus gaping down at them. Sonja was now more frightened than ever and needed to hail some tail out of the island. Metalla X simply watches on as his own son was now going to ruin his little fun. Sonja and Paildramon couldn't believe their eyes as the monster was looking down upon them with cruel intentions.
"Oh shit! Its him!" Paildramon cried out.
A huge grin forms across Virus' face as he flares up his aura. He goes racing towards the artificials with cruel intentions on his mind. Now he was as desperate as ever in absorbing Sonja into his being.
"I won't let you become fully evolved!" Angemon X cried out angrily.
Angemon X quickly flares up his aura and he goes flying right after Virus in attempt to stop him from absorbing Sonja. Metalla X looks down upon Angemon X and growls to himself. He wasn't going to let even his own son stop Virus from abosrbing Sonja. He was there for a better challenge and he wanted a better challenge that Virus had promised him.
"Ugh! How lucky I am, the artificials are here! Angemon X you better stay out of this! Your about to ruin my fun!"
Angemon X quickly gains up on Virus, but Virus was now going at almost the speed of light to catch up to the artificials. Both are getting quite closer and closer to reaching the artificials.
Sonja gasps at what she was seeing and takes a few steps back. She couldn't stand the thought of Virus absorbing her much like he did to Jax earlier today. Paildramon and Black War Greymon prepared to make their move in defending her. But Angemon X comes to the side of Virus and smashes the evil artificial away. Virus manages to catch himself in midair. Angemon X barrages him with multiple ki blasts that rock Virus back. But the monster was able to shield himself, however, even that wasn't enough to protect himself. Angemon X throws in a large, blast and sends it hurtling towards Virus. However, Virus was able to twist to the side and avoid the shot. Angemon X quickly phases to the side of Virus and nails him with a spinning back kick to the side of his head. Virus yells out and falls down to the ground. Virus quickly stops himself and flies up right at Angemon X. Angemon X rams his shoulder straight into Virus' stomach in order to stun him at the moment. Angemon X then unleashes some heavy punches on Virus that leaves heavy detentions into his skin. Then Angemon X smashes Virus over the head with clubbed fists. Virus finds himself falling down to the ground and near a canyon ridge.
After that, rocks come tumbling down on Virus as layers of rocks and fallen debris cover him. Now Virus was down at the moment and it would allow more time for the artificials to make their escape off of the island. There was no time to loose and no time to waste whatsoever. Angemon x looks on to make sure that Virus was down at the moment. Metalla X could only look on with a pissed off look on his face. Now his chances of fighting the fully evolved Virus have gone down the drain all in an instant.
"Man! Dimitri has become very powerful in that form of Angemon X," Paildramon said.
"No kidding and I wonder when you and I will ever reach a fusion form of that status of power," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
Black War Greymon could only watch on with an awe look on his face. He couldn't believe to how much power Dimitri has achieved since leaving the chamber room. However, he still has no idea that Dimitri has used the secret training chamber room.
Angemon X flies over towards the large fallen rock mound and examines it. He looks to make sure that Virus wasn't going to escape out. He then began to read his ki level and sensed that Virus was still very much alive and was going to make his next move. Suddenly, the monster's ki level seems to have faded away. Was he dead already? Angemon X was very weary of this situation. Virus could have easily clouded his ki level away so that nobody would sense his upcoming presence.
"His kis level is gone. He's not dead. He's still very much alive and he could be making his move on the artificials underground! Damn!"
Angemon X turns to face Sonja and Paildramon with a worried look on his face. He points to another direction that leads to an exit off of the island.
"Get out of here now! Virus has gotten rid of his ki and has gone underground! He could appear at anytime now!"
Paildramon quickly gasps and looks down at the ground with a worried look on his face.
"Oh no! You heard, Sonja! Run now! This is our only chance of getting off of this island!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"Right! Black War Greymon! C'mon lets go! Are you still functional?" asked Sonja.
She turns to face him and tries to pull him up onto his feet. But Black War Greymon seems to not be very functional, as his circuitry seems to be malfunctioning.
"Black War Greymon!"
Black War Greymon was still silent and was barely able to speak.
"Black War Greymon!"
"I'll be fine. But you must leave the island at once! Go now! Save yourself! Paildramon will lead you off the island!"
Sonja nods and looks over to Paildramon.
"I can't do anything to protect you anymore… Save yourself!"
She stares at Black War Greymon for a moment, then turns and runs off into another direction. Paildramon looks over to Sonja and follows up to her. They raced off to the middle of the island and were drawing near the exit out.
Suddenly, a hill ahead of them explodes right in their face and it sends them flying right back and blocking their exit. They both stop and shield their eyes from the blinding light. The force of the explosion was able to throw them off course. Out of the debris, Virus rises out of the ground letting out a sadistic laugh. They glare at the monster with intensified looks on their faces.
"Damn it! Hang in there! I'm on my way!" Angemon X cried out.
Angemon X quickly rockets off towards the location of Virus and the others. He would get there as soon as possible to stop Virus. Metalla X watches on from the sky and he was none too happy to see his son saving the day.
"Ugh! This is such a good chance! I can't let you stand in my way, Dimitri!"
Metalla X powered up and flew right on over towards Angemon X.
Paildramon and Sonja slowly back away as the monster himself now confronted them. Virus walks towards them with a huge smile on his face. They stood their ground and were ready to attack him.
"Don't you get any closer or do you want a Desperado Blaster up your ass?!"
Virus continued his march over to them but then he turns around to see Angemon X flying over towards them.
"What?"
Angemon X cries out as he looked up to see Metalla X flying right at him with a kick coming right in his face. He was too late to stop Virus and was intercepted by his own father. Angemon X lets out a scream and flies right into a nearby wall. Metalla X watches on with a satisfied look on his face. Virus turns his attention back on Sonja and Paildramon.
"Ahhh. It's been a long time, Sonja."
Sonja gets into a fighting position and stands her ground with Paildramon at her side. Suddenly a large shadow descends upon Sonja and Virus.
Black War Greymon stands right between them while holding his left arm. Virus simply laughs at the dark mega.
"Black War Greymon! Don't you even think about it! Its time for you to stop playing the role of hero here!"
Black War Greymon glares right at Virus and is more than ready to attack him with everything he's got despite the injuries he has upon his body.
"Besides. Metalla X is going to help me reach my full evolution. He will be the cause of the two world's destruction."
"Ugh! Damn Matt! We should have known!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"Yes. He is not quite the intelligent kind but brave nonetheless. Now, let me enjoy this delicacy."
Metalla X sits in the air, with his arms crossed while watching the confrontation between the artificials.
"What's keeping you, Virus?! Hurry up and reach you're blasted full evolution!"
Metalla X quickly senses a large energy level and sees none other than Angemon X flying right over towards Virus.
"You brat!"
Metalla X shoots out a blast and sends it hurtling towards Angemon X. Once again, Angemon X flies right in a wall with a yelp. He wasn't going to let anybody, not even his own father stop him from destroying Virus as soon as possible. Metalla X then barrages Angemon X with ki blasts in an effort to keep him at bay.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at the training grounds of Azulongmon, Leomon watched the action through an orb and he quickly growled to himself. He clenched his fists and couldn't believe at what he was seeing.
"No! Yamato is such a bastard!"
"What? What's going on with Matt?" asked Yolei.
No reply came from Leomon as he has his eyes locked onto the battle itself through the orb. He was trying to keep his composure and not let his anger get the best of him.
"Well? How is Matt? Dimitri? Davis? TK? Ken? The artificials? Ugh, I still can't believe that Mimi ends up marrying Matt in the future time. What made Mimi marry him? I know he's cute and all but his attitude stinks at times," Yolei rambled on.
"Well, at least, you don't end up marrying him," Hawkmon assured her.
"True."
"You're still in there Tai and Kari. Please hurry up," Leomon said to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the battlegrounds, smoke and dust was slowly rising from the spot where Dimitri hit the wall. A huge grin forms across Metalla X's face as he turns to face Virus.
"Ahhh. Thank you. Yamato. You managed to save me a lot of trouble there."
Virus simply laughs and turns towards the artificials. Sonja growls angrily and was not going to let Virus scare her. Paildramon couldn't take more of this and sprang into action as he attacked Virus.
"Desperado Blaster!"
However, Virus stood there taking no damage at all onto his body. He simply stands there with a smile on his face. He looks down at Paildramon.
"Damn it! That was the best attack that we have in our arsenal," Davis said in thoughts.
Virus quickly lashes out his tail and swings it right at Paildramon. He then throws Paildramon into a rock face nearby. Paildramon hit the rock wall and laid there.
"Ha! You don't even know your own limit, Daisuke! Pathetic!"
Suddenly, a large energy blast came flying right at Virus out of nowhere. It only managed to push back Virus a few feet away. Black War Greymon goes flying right at Virus and spins into a tornado.
"Black Tornado!"
Black War Greymon goes and drills himself into Virus but Virus simply stands there. His assault has no effect on Virus whatsoever.
"Ha! That's all for the power of a damaged artificial such as yourself. It won't work on me."
With that said, one swap of Virus' tail quickly knocks Black War Greymon down to the ground. The hole in the dark mega's head starts to light up and quickly dies down.
"Well so much for him."
Suddenly, Sonja goes flying right at Virus and screaming with anger.
"You monster!"
She goes and attacks him with several fierce punches that could easily kill a normal human but Virus being the super freak that he is, just stood there with a smirk on his face. He then easily takes her down with punches and hits her once, sending her flying back into a nearby cliff wall. She slides to the ground and Virus steps right in front of her. Sonja could only look on with a shocked look on her face.
A small rock rolls down the pile that has buried Angemon X. A large blast comes shooting out and Angemon X suddenly jumps out, throwing rocks everywhere. Quickly, his aura returns and he turns to face his own father, Metalla X. Metalla X turns back to face him once again.
"Father! This is wrong! You mustn't let Virus reach his full evolution! What if he becomes more powerful than us?"
Metalla X simply laughs and begins to respond.
"You're a good-for-nothing. Don't you want to see how powerful he becomes?"
"I don't… I don't want to see it!"
Virus looks back up at them and smiles.
"I've seen enough of the hellish future! I have to stop him from reaching his full evolution! Even if you have to kill you in order to do so!"
"You kill me? Impossible! You think your father can't attack you? If you want to strike, go ahead."
Angemon X quickly powers up and a rather large ball of energy builds up in his hands. Suddenly, it gets even bigger than his whole body and Metalla X is quickly surprised at what he was seeing. Angemon X pushes back and shot out the blast right at Metalla X. Metalla X is quickly overwhelmed by it and it carries Metalla X into the sky.
***************************************************************************************
Back inside the chamber room, Tai is covering up Kari and making sure that she sleeps. She and Gatomon have really pushed their limits over the edge and have worked harder than ever to gaining that level status of power in finally reaching the full potential to reaching the fusion level.
"You two really progressed well. I'm pleased, Kari. It's very possible that you and Gatomon will finally fuse. I can just feel it."
"But Tai, you think we'll ever be as strong you as you and Agumon. I mean when you two fused, it just happened. But we have to work for it."
"I know. Hey, you should be very proud of yourself. I know its very difficult but you have to learn that these kinds of things won't be as easy as you think."
"Well alright. We will try our best, Tai. You can definitely count on that," replied Kari.
"Now that I finally reach my mega form, there's no doubt in my mind that we'll fuse," Gatomon said, "Who knows. Maybe we'll become some sort of super kitty with an attitude."
"Or something like a Angewomon," said Kari.
"Right, just stop doubting yourself and believe that we can do this."
"Once you fuse with Gatomon, then we can then push you into reaching the full ascension of the power of fusion. But I think you two are up for it, but for now, its time to rest. And I'm about to pass out here just talking to you," Tai said.
"Ha. Well you certainly are the sleepy type," giggled Kari.
"Tell me a bedtime story, Tai," Agumon moaned.
"I know one," Kari said.
**************************************************************************************
Back at the battlegrounds, Sonja stares right up at Virus with a frightened look on her face. Virus draws near and getting closer to reaching for her. Sonja holds out her hands and sends out a blast right for Virus. She quickly blasts him, but Virus simply laughs as the blast carries him back. It does no actual damage to the evil monster. He stops and the blast fades away. He walks towards her again but she wouldn't let her guard down this time around.
She blasts him again but this time it only gets the same result. No effect or damage on Virus whatsoever. He walks back towards her as the blast fades away. His tail swings up over his head. Paildramon sits up from the pile of debris and watches on.
"No! I can't let this happen! Sonja get out of here!"
Black War Greymon slowly rises to his feet. He manages to mutter a few words under his breath.
"Sonja…"
Virus continues walking towards her with a huge smile on his face. His tail fans out into a cup-funnel shape, almost like he did to when he absorbed Jax earlier that day. Paildramon gasps. Sonja shuts her eyes tightly.
"I can't watch! This is it, Davis!"
Virus laughs and was more than ready to swallow her up into his being. Suddenly, Angemon X quickly flies right in screaming. He then connects with a kick to the side of Virus' head. Virus gets temporarily held off at the moment. Sonja gasps and Angemon X appears right in front of her.
"Hurry up! Get off this island!"
Virus is slowly getting up back to his feet but Angemon X goes flying right at him. Virus sees him coming but wasn't able to maneuver away. Angemon X starts pummeling Virus with punches, then kicks him further back and continues on with the punches to the evil artificial. They fight into the air and Angemon X ends his assault with an overhead smash that sends Virus into the ground below.
Sonja quickly runs over towards a fallen Black War Greymon and puts his arm around her shoulders in attempt to carry him off with her.
"Don't worry about me, Sonja. Go now."
"That won't work. We're leaving together."
Suddenly, Paildramon reaches down to grab Black War Greymon's other arm. The artificials look up at him. Sonja gasped right at Paildramon and he laughs nervously.
"Ugh. Here we go again, Davis."
"Daisuke?"
TK and Ken watch on from the bushes. Stingmon and Pegasusmon were more than ready to help out their comrades.
"Hold on Stingmon. Now isn't the time. I think Dimitri can hold off Virus at the moment," Ken said.
"But we should be careful now. One mistake and everything will be lost," replied TK, "Oh man. Why did you have to let your ego get the best of you, brother?!"
***************************************************************************************
Metalla X floats on the surface of the ocean with an angry look on his face. He couldn't believe that his own son was able to stop him at that very moment.
"Damn that little bastard. He really struck me."
He wipes himself and notices blood on his hand. He growls to himself.
"How dare he! That little shit is going to pay!"
His aura flares up. Metalla X quickly flies up and back towards the island where he would stop Dimitri from ruining his plans.
****************************************************************************************
Angemon X continues to beat up Virus in the air. Angemon X delivers a kick to the monster's face and Virus goes flying back. Virus looks over and sees the artificials trying to escape. He then looks up at the sun.
"I won't let them go!"
He turns to fly to them, but Angemon X is there to follow him. Virus looks back at Angemon X, then he intercepts the fused warrior. Virus quickly flies up and that catches Dimitri by surprise. Virus laughs on the way up towards the sun.
"Can't let them go alive that easily!"
The artificials and Paildramon look on and watch Virus looking down upon them from the air.
"I won't let you go, Sonja."
She quickly glares right up at Virus. Angemon X flies up to attack Virus, and Metalla X sees him.
"That idiot!"
Just then, Virus raises his hands to either side of his face and a huge smile forms. He was now preparing to use Gatomon's favorite techniques.
"Cats Eye!"
With that attack, he causes a bright flash of light to appear. Everyone gets blinded from that moment except for Virus himself. Sonja, Black War Greymon, Angemon X, Paildramon and Metalla X all get blinded. Ken and TK even shielded their eyes.
"Damn! My eyes!" cried out Sonja.
Virus flies right down towards the three on the ground.
"I will enjoy swallowing you up slowly, Sonja. Just you wait and see."
Paildramon runs right in front of the artificials and prepares for his next attack. Then Stingmon and Pegasusmon came out to protect the artificials.
"Equiis Beam!"
"Spiking Strike!"
"Desperado Blaster!"
The attacks all hit Virus but he was unscathed by the combined blasts. He quickly raised his hand and shoots out three beams, sending all three digimon flying back.
"Terra Destroyer!"
Black War Greymon tosses his most powerful attack but Virus easily deflects it and shoots out a blast right at Black War Greymon. The dark mega goes flying back towards the other fallen digimon.
"Stingmon! No!"
"Pegasusmon!"
Sonja quickly gets up to her feet and prepares to fight but was still blinded. Virus slowly approaches them while laughing hysterically. Hit tail fans out once more.
"Damn you, Virus!"
Sonja quickly jumps up and starts attacking Virus once again, even though she can't see. Virus easily dodges and laughs at her futile attempts. His tail falls over her and she screams in horror. Virus's mouth gapes open, a look of pure delight covers his face. Sonja gets sucked right in and Paildramon goes flying in after him.
"Stop it now! Let her go, Virus!"
Both the combination of Paildramon and Davis' voice could be heard within an instant as he starts attacking Virus. But Virus easily dodges each punch that Paildramon throws. Sonja struggles against Virus.
"Sonja! No!" cries out Black War Greymon.
Paildramon yells and continues his assault. Sonja's feet quickly disappear into Virus' tail.
Angemon X flies in from above and begins to sense a very strong and dark presence. He uncovers his eyes as the blinding light fades away.
"Damn it…"
Angemon X stopped and landed. He, Paildramon, Black War Greymon, Stingmon, Pegasusmon and Metalla X all regain their sight. Everyone gasped when they saw Virus's body emitting a bright glow.
Virus starts to power up and the ground around him started to vibrate. His spots glow white and a blue aura covers his whole body. Then his entire body flashes a white light. The clouds above the island started to separate and look as if his power was starting to make its presence felt among the entire face of the planet. Metalla X quickly grins at the sight.
"At last. Virus is finally beginning to transform. The full evolution will appear soon."
Black War Greymon's mouth gapes open in complete shock and fear. He was never afraid of anything but now he was going to face the most frightening power to ever walk both worlds. Angemon X glares right at the transformation. Paildramon just makes frightened sounds, somewhat like a voiced gasp.
"It takes so much time. Don't let me down again, Virus" Matt said in thoughts.
Angemon X quickly powers up and his aura flares up.
"I won't let you reach your full evolution!"
Angemon X powers up and shoots out a barrage of ki blasts right at Virus. He watched as they all connected with the glowing Virus. But again, it had no effects on him whatsoever. A blue barrier surrounds Virus. Angemon X gasps in shock. Electrical currents run around the barrier. Lighting struck at the point of the island that Virus is currently standing on.
****************************************************************************************
The ground shakes and the entire earth is feeling the effects. They feel as if a terrible disaster was coming. They feel apocalypse was approaching.
Everyone at the apartments is amazed at what is going on. Their eyes widening and their mouths gaping open. Izzy, Sora, Cody, and Joe all felt the effects. Their digimon knew what was going on and felt the horrifying power of Virus reaching to its full potential.
Of course, everyone else was following the action. This even included the spectators from the Azulongmon's training grounds.
"What's happening on the earth?" asked Yolei.
"Earth and the digital world seem to be moving!" Hawkmon cried out.
"Its Virus' ki level! It's going up!" Leomon said.
Azulongmon and X stood there and felt the horrifying power rising and rising to new heights. Even Gennai, who had just returned from mental training, was scared stiff by this enormous power increase. He couldn't believe that it was coming from earth. They knew that both worlds are in danger of being wiped out by this single force.
"So, it begins…" X said in thought.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island, a green dome spreads around the surroundings of the island. Virus' transformation progress is getting much larger and larger by each second passing by. Lighting struck at the center of the island and runs all over Virus' barrier. The green dome expands t o easily fill up the whole island, even through a view that is shown from a very far distance away. Black War Greymon, Paildramon, Angemon X and the other digimon look on all scared to death and amazed at Virus' transformation. Lighting from the Earth strikes out in space around the whole planet and white lines circle around the planet of Earth.
Elsewhere on Earth, Mimi and Michael watched the skies flare up with a glowing light. Palmon and Betamon could easily sense the evil power.
"Matt. Dimitri. I hope you two are al right. I couldn't bear the fact if you two were killed," Mimi said to herself.
"This is terrible!" Betamon said.
"You can feel it too, Betamon?" asked Palmon.
Betamon nods and looks up at Michael.
"What is that stream of evil!" asked Michael, "What is happening on Earth?"
"It's Virus! His power is growing. He's reached his full evolution," replied Betamon.
"Oh no! That's terrible! They couldn't stop him?!" asked Mimi.
"I fear that both worlds are in danger but not just your world and the digital world," Palmon said, "But also the entire universe if possible."
"The entire universe?!" cried out Mimi.
***************************************************************************************
Virus stands at the center of all of the action. His blue barrier still surrounds him, and horizontal white lines slide up and down over it. Suddenly, Virus' physical appearance begins to change with his arms. His eyes then turn a glowing, crimson red, then back to normal. Now his face has changed as well.
"Ugh! This is all my fault just because I didn't use the remote control on Sonja," Davis said to himself.
Black War Greymon and Angemon X stare in silent amazement while Metalla X flies above grinning, while anticipating his upcoming battle. Virus' whole body starts to glow white as he continues on his full evolution.
The entire area around the island is becoming completely dark, as if day had now been prematurely been transcended into nightfall. However, that was not the case here. A major evil power was reaching its full potential and it was causing an immediate disruption to the environment of the entire planet of Earth.
Lighting strikes all over, and a green dome of energy surrounds the island. The ocean around the island all of a sudden becomes quite choppy. Huge waterspouts form as a result of these natural disasters. Tons of these waterspouts surround the island, enclosing it in a triangular shape. Another bolt of lighting struck the dome. In the center of the green dome was a small, bright light.
Back on the island, Angemon X and Black War Greymon stand helplessly watching Virus transforming. Virus' body was already enclosed in a mini-green dome, glowing brightly. Large amounts of energy flowed freely over the surface of the barrier around him. Angemon X and Paildramon stare wide-eyed in astonishment. Now the time for destruction would soon be at hand and they were too late to even stop Virus from reaching his full evolution. All no thanks to Metalla X and his ever-hungry ego. Paildramon's mouth gapes open. Pegasusmon and Stingmon stand right beside the barrier, staring at it with amazement.
Metalla X hovers from above the barrier, which surrounded Virus. His eyes begin to glow and watches on with a grin, anticipating for the big fight.
"At last. You will finally reach your full evolution and your body will be complete. You better not let me down."
The barrier is so thick and powerful that even Virus can't be seen through it anymore. It was as if some thick cocoon layer covered him. Ken and TK slowly step back. Paildramon felt ashamed, but Davis felt even more disappointed in himself and should have fought Virus with everything he had.
"I knew we should have used that remote on Sonja! This is my fault!" Davis said to himself.
Angemon x continues to watch on in total silence. Black War Greymon falls to his knees. Paildramon looks over to them and closes his eyes in shame. He looks away and can't bear to stand to see the barrier any longer.
Finally, there seems to be a shape forming from behind the barrier. A silhouette of Virus can be seen again through the barrier.
"Damn it!" cried out Angemon X, "It's happening again!"
Dimitri shook his head violently and pictures everyone he knows and cherishes. He pictured his loved ones left as bloody corpses, including those bodies of Tai, his mother and even his digimon partner. Every single one of his friends, innocent lives and especially his own families were those victims. Several decapitated bodies are shown along with the slain bodies of every Digi-Destined. Some of the bodies seemed unrecognizable. At the center of it all, Virus grins and his eyes are a crimson blood red. He simply personified evil's incarnation.
"Virus! If it takes ever ounce of breathe in my body! I will stop you once and for all! I won't let you destroy the future again!"
Angemon X quickly sets his sights back on the present and towards the barrier in which Virus was forming inside of.
"Damn it! I won't let you go back to the future and destroy this world!"
Angemon X's aura flares up and he shoots into the sky from above. Then he flies right back down towards the barrier within the speed of light. He goes straight for Virus, but the barrier alone is enough to throw him completely away. He lands and stares in horror as the transformation of the fully evolved Virus progresses on.
Paildramon gasps while Black War Greymon stares on in silence. Finally, the green barrier begins to die away and the power within it starts to decrease. Now it is replaced by a much more bright golden light, and at the center, surrounding Virus, is a white light. It flashes green briefly. And from directly above the island, the golden light is seen settling at the center part of the entire island, surrounded by the larger green dome that had completely engulfed the entire island. The golden light expands and grows even stronger than before. Now Metalla X was more excited about the approaching fight that was soon going to take place.
***************************************************************************************
Suddenly, a huge earthquake is erupting in the city of Odaiba. The Digi-Destined over at the apartments could even feel its side effects and were more worried to what extent of power Virus has now reached.
"Oh man! I never thought it would turn out this way!" cried out Sora.
Sora holds Biyomon tightly in her arms and gets under a safe place to avoid anything to fall on her. Cody and Armadillomon take cover under a counter as Cody cups his hands over his head.
"If this goes on, we'll be all crushed to death! We can't afford to die right away! We have two worlds to save!" Cody exclaimed.
"Right. Virus and Metalla X are both the strongest fighters on the planet now. I doubt even the Earth can withstand such tremendous force from those two," Armadillomon said.
Joe and Gomamon both look out the window with worried expressions.
"Its useless to even run now. I don't plan on running away," Joe said, "This is occurring throughout the entire planet."
"Its the same no matter where you run and hide," said Gomamon, "Gee, it sure sucks to be an earthling now."
"The Earth will be destroyed if this keeps up," replied Izzy.
The Digi-Destined all take cover as the earthquakes continue on causing large amounts of destruction and panic throughout the world.
***************************************************************************************
Suddenly, a bright light is seen on a point on the Earth from space itself. The Earth is shown from the further out. A dark and black shadow creeps over the globe in a very dark and mysterious manner. It looked as though darkness have loomed over the entire horizon of the Earth. Soon, most of the Earth is in shadows.
Metalla X grins in anticipation. Paildramon, Stingmon, Pegasusmon and Angemon X stare at the bright light. Finally, all of the bright light dies away. The only light remaining from the transformation is the light emitted by the glowing body of the fully evolved Virus. That soon fades away, and the entire area is shrouded in total darkness.
The island is now shown from afar, where the green dome suddenly springs back up. Its light grows in intensity and the dome quickly expands outward, surpassing its original size. The light covers an enormous area and extends straight out into space as column of green light. It expands further and further out, then it fades away, only to be replaced by a single point of light at the center of it, much smaller in size, but much, much brighter than usual. Finally, even that light fades away. Daytime returns and washes away that bask of darkness from the island.
Black War Greymon and the other digimon stare wide-eyed at the sight of what was considered the threat to both worlds. Angemon X, Metalla X and Paildramon all watch as the transformation has been completed. At the center is a small crater, and at that center is a glowing green cocoon of light that surrounds Virus and still bathes the surrounding area in neon green light.
"Finally. It has been done," Metalla X said.
The newly evolved Virus stands before them, still emitting a neon green light that transcends throughout his newly developed body.
***************************************************************************************
Back at Odaiba, the Digi-Destined all meet up at the park after evacuating the apartment complex. Sora, Izzy, Joe and Cody all looked up into the skies. The digimon stood at their sides wondering what other turn of events will occur now.
"Well the atmosphere has stopped vibrating for once," Joe said.
"Looks like that we're saved," Biyomon said.
Izzy looked up and turned to face the group with a look of disdain on his face.
"What's bugging you, Izzy?" asked Sora.
"They didn't use the control I'm afraid. No, it's only the beginning you guys," Izzy said, "Now the real horror shall begin."
Looking on from beyond the apartment complex, a small boy with a drawing pad looked on cautiously. He had never felt such a tremendous force. He brushes his hair to the side.
"What just happened? Is the earth going to be destroyed?"
"Takato!"
The boy heard his parents calling out to him. He replies by calling out to them and heads off to greet them. There was a picture found on the boy's drawing pad. It looked like a dinosaur with a hazard sign on.
**************************************************************************************
Yolei and Hawkmon both stare at the earth through the viewing orb and were shocked at what she saw. Leomon's expression is enough to tell anyone about what Metalla X has done.
"Virus has now reached his full evolution," said Leomon.
"This is definitely not good! We're all going to die aren't we?" Yolei asked frantically.
"Looks like Davis weren't able to use the controller that Izzy created for him. He destroyed it in order to spare Sonja's life," said X.
"Oh man! Wait until I talk to Davis about this! Ugh!" Yolei growled angrily.
"No. He felt that Sonja wasn't as evil as Virus and felt that she had her will taken away by Datamon. So that is why he decided to spare her," Azulongmon said, "But I'm afraid Sonja paid the ultimate consequence as a result of this."
"And this is not entirely Davis' fault. You can also put a major blame on Matt," said Gennai.
"Yeah. I guess you're right," Yolei said.
"No! Yamato, you doomed us all," Leomon said as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Keke, what do you have to say about your father now?" X pondered.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island, the newly evolved Virus hovers down to the ground. Metalla X stares down at him with a smile on his face. Virus' feet barely touch the ground as he bounces right back up. Paildramon stares right at him in total shock. Black War Greymon climbs up to his feet. Angemon X stands there silently and witnesses the ultimate artificial right before him. Then a good view of the new Virus is shown as his body stops glowing.
Virus' long-lizard like tail is now gone. It's now pulled up and onto the back of his body. The only trait that remained of the tail was the sharp, scorpion like needle at the end remains where his tail used to start. Now there are two black, metallic angel-like wings shielding the stump of the tail from any harm. His feet finally touch the ground again and he lands. His lower legs are now a metallic black color, actually his shins and calves to be more exact. And his skin is neon green with black spots on covering it. His chest and shoulders are black. Now he looks more human than ever, aside from the wings, tail stump and the v-shaped crest over his head.
His head had some well-known features as well. Now his head was more like the head-shape of Tai. His eyes were almost exactly like the eyes Ken had when he was the Digimon Kaiser but they were red with black pupils in them. His nose was like Davis'. He has Joe's ears. As he smiled, his smile was more like that of Matt's and his teeth looked like Mimi's. Two sharp teeth were shown in his mouth and these were traits he inherited from Myotismon. His wings were more like Devimon's but metallic instead. A portion of his facial features looked quite similar to one of Burizalor's old forms.
He stood still and silent as he was now the ultimate force that has yet to be challenged. He was now in his fully evolved form.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back within the chamber, Gatomon and Kari stood besides each other as they were in a black room with no space. They stood there and looked down at the ground as if they were concentrating.
Then they eyed their eyes and faced each other. A pink aura of light surrounded their bodies. They both scream and fly back. War Greymon stands over them and Gatomon quickly evolves into Magnadramon in the speed of light. Magnadramon tries to dodge an attack that never eventually comes.
"Are you alright, Gatomon?" asked War Greymon.
Tai watches on with a grin on his face. Kari turns to face him with a small frown on her face but it quickly turns to that of a smile.
Magnadramon quickly powers up her ki level and goes flying up into mid air. She then flies right down and goes to attack War Greymon, but War Greymon is able to block and dodge every attack that Magnadramon throws at him. War Greymon swings around and delivers an elbow to Magnadramon's face. Magnadramon maneuvers to the side and forms a ki blast from her mouth, but doesn't shoot it out.
"You maybe a dramon killer, War Greymon. But I'm not about to give up and let you beat me that easily. You maybe Tai's digimon but if we dare fight each other, I won't go easy on you."
"Count on it. I won't give up either. Because I believe in what Tai tells me and I shall never disappoint him."
"Neither will I disappoint Kari! Dragon Fire!"
War Greymon watches as the blast comes right for him but he manages to jump over. War Greymon shoots out a ki blast of his own and sends it right at Magnadramon. But she was able to swallow it up with ease.
"You're going too easy on me, War Greymon."
Magnadramon goes flying right at War Greymon and swaps at him with her claws. She then proceeds on by trying to bite him. But after every swipe, War Greymon manages to dodge easily.
"I can easily tell that you don't want to hurt me, War Greymon. Sometimes you can be too softhearted. Well its not going to win you any battles. You have to get tough and you have to teach me that! I will learn from you!"
Magnadramon goes launching herself right at War Greymon. But War Greymon throws his knee up to block her attack. He manages to flip such a gigantic creature such as herself away and over him. War Greymon throws a hit but Magnadramon blocks it with her claws.
"Am I finally understood, War Greymon?!"
Magnadramon jumps forward to attack War Greymon, but the so-called dramon destroyer jumps out of the way and knees Magnadramon in her exposed stomach. Magnadramon goes crashing down into the ground and quickly gets to her feet. She then turns around to face War Greymon. A ki blast forms in her mouth yet again.
"You're spoiling me too much! Dramon Fire!" She shoots out the blast right at War Greymon but he easily catches the blast. He jumps forward and throws it right back. But Magnadramon quickly maneuvers away.
"War Greymon, please do it like you want to kill me! Even if I really die, at least I can gain that strength."
War Greymon simply stares right at her.
"Otherwise my level will never excel yours!"
War Greymon cries out as Tai rushes over towards him. Their bodies quickly begin to glow. They were now prepared to finish evolve.
[Digimon 02 "Beat Hit!" plays]
"War Greymon Fusion Shinka!"
They transformed into two beams of light and quickly came together to form one being. In their place was none other than Omega X.
"Omega X!"
The force of the sudden power throws Magnadramon back. Omega X flies up into the air.
"I don't mind if I have to die," Magnadramon said.
Magnadramon quickly flies up and looks up to face Omega X.
"If I don't gain the real power, I can never fuse with Kari!"
Omega X looks back down at Magnadramon, then cups his hands together and pulls them over to his side.
"Terra… Beam!"
The ki quickly forms into a ball in the cup of his hands and then Omega X throws the ki-blast right directly towards Magnadramon. She uses the size of her body and her brute strength to hold off the blast and attempts to push it back. She gains no ground against it, but succeeds in keeping it from killing her.
"I won't run away! Kari! I need your strength!"
She struggles against the ki-blast, and on the other side, Omega X continues to pump more ki into it. Kari stood there as she began to feel her confidence coming back to her and she would let her strength give more power to Magnadramon through the power of her light.
[Hikari's Digimon theme "Shining Star" plays]
"I am the Chosen Child of Light! Hikari Kamiya! Ever since I became a Digi-Destined, I had to overcome such great obstacles on my road to success. It all started when Myotismon and his army invaded his Earth. I felt so weak when he held Gatomon and me captive. We were about to be annihilated by his Grisly Wing attack but Wizardmon was able to sacrifice himself to save us."
A shot of Wizardmon is shown from getting blasted by Myotismon's finishing blow of the Grisly Wing. Kari and Gatomon rush over to him as they felt their powers reacting from the loss. They used the loss in order for Gatomon to finally reach her ultimate-leveled form.
"When she evolved into Angewomon, she had seen enough of the pain and wanted vengeance. She extracted that revenge against Myotismon for every terrible sin he had committed. She struck the final blow to the evil demon with a shot of her Celestial Arrow. And if that wasn't enough, then I'll remember when we battled Piedmon and the Demon Corps."
A shot of Angewomon and Piedmon beating each other to a bloody pulp is shown during the adventurous battles against Burizalor's army.
"We knew for sure that bigger fights would come ahead for all of us when we encountered the Demon Corps. But we didn't give up. As long as I was there, Angewomon was there to back me up. Then of course cam the ultimate battle for both worlds as we fought Burizalor."
A shot of Burizalor is shown when he killed Sora with a single blast. Then a shot of Tai getting angry, which allowed War Greymon the power to reach the fusion level. Then a shot of Omega X is shown."
"But I'm not like you, Tai. I'm not strong-hearted like you. I don't like to fight but I know that there's billion of innocent lives counting on us to fight off this new threat about to destroy both worlds. We have to do this and I'm more than happy to oblige!"
With that said, Kari felt her body glow and Magnadramon's body increasing with her. Within a matter of seconds, they became two beams of light and easily came together as they formed as one into their fusion form.
They finally fight back Omega X's Terra Blaster. They screamed and a pink aura surrounds them and they throw Omega X's blast right back at him.
Now their new form was standing right on the ground. Kari and Magnadramon fused to what looked like a young woman with a pink get-up suit that looked similar to a Amazonian warrior woman, white leather boots, long-blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, a long staff with a spear at the end, and a nicely-shaped figure.
"Amazing Grace!"
She points her staff right up at Omega X and uses a form of telekinesis to push the Terra Blaster right back at him.
"Whoa!"
Omega X quickly dodges the blast and it explodes somewhere off in the distance, temporarily lighting up the area in red and orange. Omega X turns and looks back at his sister. She now stands before him a beautiful yet powerful fused warrior. She's hunched over and trying to control her new power. She's having trouble trying to keep herself at her current fusion state. Omega X lands on his feet and quickly de-evolves back to Tai and Agumon.
"You've finally reached the fusion state. You've unleashed Amazing Grace," Tai said.
She still stands there while making clicking noises and trying to keep her composure.
"That's it. Next time, at the same rate, control your mood," Agumon said.
More random sounds came from her in response to their pointers. She suddenly fades back out and de-evolves into Kari and Gatomon. They both fall to their hands and knees. They stare at the ground, breathing heavily.
"Awesome! You da 'mon!" Tai shouted out excitedly.
Kari looks back up to her older brother.
"I'm sorry, Tai. It was too hard."
"What? Just improve, bit by bit. Hmm? You two need to take a rest. You're going to need it. Boy, that was some transformation. Not bad, if you know what I mean."
Kari looks back at him and smiles. Tai kneels beside his sister and helps her up to her feet. Agumon goes over and places Gatomon on his back to carry her to her bed.
****************************************************************************************
Back at the battle site, the activity at the island has finally calmed down. Everything seemed to be normal and sunlight was back. Virus hovered back down onto the ground and examined his hand. Angemon X, Paildramon and Black War Greymon all stare at him wide-eyed in amazement.
Metalla X hovers from high above with his arms crossed. He simply laughs.
"Though you are fully evolved now, it seems to be no big deal. Even your size is smaller than before."
Virus throws a few practice punches at the air. He holds his arm up and examines his other hand. A smile forms across his face.
Tears start to form in Paildramon's eyes as a reaction from Davis' emotions for Sonja. Davis remembers when Sonja kissed him a couple of days ago. He pictures her face smiling and then pictures her in a black background falling. She screams and explodes into hundreds of tiny pieces. As a result, Paildramon got angrier and angrier.
"No! Paildramon! Davis!" cries out Angemon X.
Paildramon screams and leaps forwards at Virus. He throws a punch with all of his strength behind it. Virus doesn't even bother to dodge it whatsoever. Then Paildramon shoots out a Desperado Blaster right in the back of the head with no effect. Virus almost seems to not even realize that he's there. Paildramon screams and kicks him in the same place. It still had no effect. He gasped in absolute horror.
"That's too much…"
Angemon X stares in amazement. Paildramon screams and starts throwing punches and kicks everywhere, but nothing he does bothers Virus in the least. Every hit connects, but nothing hurts Virus.
"So this is my full evolution? I see. Now I have finally achieved what no other being has ever achieved. I am now the ultimate destructive force."
Angemon X glares right up at Metalla X. Metalla X simply nods and smiles right down at him. Angemon X quickly powers up and attacks Virus with Paildramon. Pegasusmon and Stingmon join in on the action. All four digimon are attacking the fully evolved Virus with everything they got.
"It's not even working!" exclaimed Ken.
"How are we going to beat him now?" said TK, "He's mutated in some kind of super freak!"
The digimon's combined efforts still had no effect on the genetically altered psycho. Virus wasn't even flinched.
"That's nice children. That's nice. Have your fun," Virus spoke in a rather arrogant and godly voice. It was more moderate and not rough like his previous form.
The four fighters continue their barrage. Paildramon jumps back.
"Go away guys! We'll take it from here!" Paildramon exclaimed.
Paildramon shot out cables and attaches them onto Virus. He pulls out his two blasters and point them right at Virus.
"Don't you dare move, Virus! Al right guys let him have it! Desperado Blaster!"
"Equiis Beam!"
"Spiking Strike!"
"Holy Beam!"
The four combined powers formed into a single blast and it flies right towards Virus. It hits him with direct contact.
"Yeah! We got him!" Paildramon exclaimed. But soon their cheers were a bit premature. The blast spins away after hitting Virus and explodes. Virus stretches his neck, completely unhurt from the attack. He jumps into the air. His wings retract a bit. He spins, points out, pulls his arm straight back. They all gasp.
"Impossible! That combined attack would have been strong enough to even defeat Burizalor," TK said in thoughts.
Virus stretches, throws a few more punches and kicks. Paildramon and the other three warriors tremble. Virus looks back at them and smiles.
"So you want to play huh? Al right then. Since you've finished with your little games, I guess its my turn. So are you all ready?"
Virus turns back around and looks over to them. He quickly flies at them through a series of phasing in and phasing out tricks. He flies right up at Paildramon. Paildramon backs away as if he were going to attack him. Virus phases out within the blink of an eye.
Paildramon then feels a tremendous force coming up from behind him. Virus nails him once with one single kick. Then he flies over to Stingmon and punches him. And then he goes over to Pegasusmon and swipes him away with a single kick. All three digimon were sent flying up into the air, landing a few feet away. Angemon X gasped at what he's just seen. Paildramon quivers as he quickly de-evolves into Davis and Veemon. Pegasusmon de-evolves back into his rookie form, Patamon. Stingmon loses power and de-evolves back to Wormmon.
"Wormmon!"
"Patamon!"
Virus stands there right in front of the three fallen digimon with a smirk on his face. He had now taken out three digimon in one full swoop with some of the simplest attacks, punches and kicks. That's all that required for him to beat them. Angemon X watched on with total shock.
Has Virus finally managed to beat our heroes and how will they defeat the newly evolved Virus, who's power has reached unbelievably new heights! Just who will stand up against the menace's newly gained power? Has Metalla X made a fatal mistake?

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Metalla X Must Pay! Time to Ascend to the Next Fusion Level, Dimitri!
Back on the site of the island, the fully evolved Virus had made his first move and taken out three of the six warriors who were preparing to challenge his power. Those poor helpless souls were none other than Patamon, Veemon and Wormmon. Virus previously had taken out Stingmon, Pegasusmon and Paildramon in one full swoop by just kicking and punching them with ease.
All three rookies laid their unconscious, but they were not alone. Since Paildramon were the fusion of Davis and Veemon, Davis was also laid on the ground with tons of marks on his body. He laid next to Veemon and was not able to move an inch of muscle. A cloud of smoke started to cover their almost lifeless bodies.
It looked as though Virus had easily taken apart some of the strongest warriors of two worlds.
"Davis… Veemon… Patamon… Wormmon," Angemon X said silently.
Black War Greymon gasps and couldn't believe what had just transpired just a while ago.
Davis was still for a few seconds, but then he finally starts to move his body a bit. He slowly pushes himself up from the ground. One eye seems to be shut but now he seems to be smiling. He coughs violently, spewing some blood out and some dirt. Slowly, Davis climbs to his feet and showed no signs of giving up just yet. He looks down over to Veemon.
[English Dub version of Perfect Cell's music plays]
Meanwhile, Virus kicks the air while enjoying his brand new power. He was more than satisfied with his complete power intact. Angemon X gets very angry at the sight of the fully evolved artificial, but then Virus looks back right over to him. He simply smiles and continues kicking the air to test out the mobility of his new body.
"He's… too…powerful…" Davis muttered, "Its the first time… that… before we felt the pain... but we're not going to give up… No… sire…"
The vision in Davis' starts to lose focus and a smile forms across his face. He slowly falls to his knees and limps.
"I think… I'm… going… to take… a little… nap now… Night… Night…"
With that said, Davis falls to the ground face first and lies there unconscious. Angemon X quickly looks over towards Davis and the other fallen digimon.
"Davis!"
Ken and TK came out of hiding and ran over towards their digimon. Angemon X went over towards them to help with Davis and Veemon. Ken picks up Wormmon while TK held Patamon tightly in his arms. Angemon X looks over Davis and Veemon, while figuring out a way to revive them.
Virus continues on kicking and punching the air. A smile forms across his face as he looks over towards Black War Greymon.
"He's really lucky to be able to feel the power of my attack on his own," Virus said.
Black War Greymon simply growls angrily and looks over towards the children.
Angemon X rolls both Veemon and Davis on their backs. They looked to be out cold and not able to move whatsoever. Dimitri knew that they weren't dead and there was a chance to save them.
"Ok guys. We'll have to use the power of our D-3's to help revive them. TK, Ken. Understood?"
They both nodded over towards Angemon X and pulled out their D-3s. Ken used his to revive Wormmon while TK used his to quickly revive Patamon. Angemon X simply puts his hands over the chests of Veemon and Davis.
"Hang on guys. I'm going to give you some of my own energy."
Angemon X's hands start to glow and a aura of light start to cover both the bodies. Slowly, Davis was able to move around, as did Veemon. They both opened their eyes and look up at Angemon X.
Metalla X smiles and hovers down towards the ground. He lands right behind Virus and crosses his arms. Virus looks over to his adversary.
"I see that you managed to have a lot of improvements to your new body," Metalla X said, "But were still not impressed. You pick on such a weakling and you completely ignore me. How selfish of you."
Virus keeps silent as he keeps pumping his arms and legs around. He then rubs his elbow.
"Just a thought. It's no big deal, even though you've reached your full evolution."
Virus looks up right at him and responds.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that. But I know it's such a disgrace to attack that weak fellow. Please help me by being my warm-up."
Metalla X growls and quickly gets offended by Virus' words. But he regains his composure and simply smirks. Virus laughs at him.
"Well, for your sake, just don't whine when I beat you."
"Oh I won't."
Virus turns to face Metalla X and quickly gets into a fighting stance. Metalla X gets into a fighting stance of his own and quickly forms a bright aura around him. They were now prepared to go at each other's throats at any given opportunity.
Suddenly, Davis and Veemon both cough and begin breathing, although their breathing was quite labored. Angemon X smiles and lifts both of them up.
"Alright! Welcome back to reality, you guys," Angemon X said.
All three of them stand up. Davis rubs his neck. Patamon and Wormmon are quickly revived and stand next to their partner's sides.
"That was a close one, Davis. You and Veemon almost died out there," Angemon X said, "Um… Davis… Veemon?"
They both looked out towards the battlefield and quickly noticed Metalla X about to fight Virus.
"Oh no! Matt is going to get killed," Davis said.
The group all gasped and spins around towards the battlefield. They saw the two fighters ready to attack one another.
"Of course. Veemon and I can't compare with you experienced fusion partners, even whether my opponent is strong or not. I'll still be able to tell," Davis said.
"Yep. And this is no different," replied Veemon, "Matt doesn't realize what he's getting himself into. Its nothing but suicide."
"I know he's really scary but we're not afraid. Though he only touched us, we knew exactly how horrible he really is. He almost killed us with that one blow."
Back onto the battlefield, Virus and Metalla X prepare to do battle with one another as they now prepare to round three so to speak. Metalla X takes a step forward, while Virus takes a step back. He then turns to face more towards Virus. Virus continues to hold his arms out straight, but quickly moves them around and changes their positions in relation to the other.
"Virus has really gotten a lot stronger and faster but Metalla X seems to be still taking the lead," Black War Greymon said.
Suddenly, a little sensor in Black War Greymon's eye begins to light up and beep. It looked as though he were scanning their ki levels. In fact, he was.
"No don't judge by the current ki levels," Patamon said, "Virus' potential is much more than this. Just like your hidden ki level, Dimitri."
Angemon X quickly looks over towards the others and gasps.
"You mean. You know about my hidden power already?"
Then they all turned to watch the upcoming fight that was going to take place right in front of them.
Metalla X quickly jumps forwards as Virus begins his assault. Virus goes for a kick but Metalla X is able to catch it. Then he blocks a punch from the artificial and blocks a knee smash. Metalla X then jumps over Virus and lands right behind him and near Black War Greymon.
"Well its good to know that you're speed and power managed to increase since the last transformation," Metalla X remarked.
Virus turns around with Metalla X leaping forward right him screaming. Soon Metalla X goes with a barrage of punches right at Virus, but Virus easily blocks each of them thrown punches. Metalla X gets a good punch right into Virus' gut. He smiles but quickly gasps, as his punch didn't even affect Virus.
"That's exactly how Matt is. Maybe he didn't notice it. Now I kind of understand why you tried to stay away from Metalla X," said Veemon, "You've already ascended to a level that Metalla X can not ever reach. Am I right?"
Angemon X stares at him, but doesn't answer. He was holding back his hidden power and would not let his father notice it and get upset with him. He wanted to make sure that his young father was going to defeat Virus. But that was not the case at this very moment.
Metalla X runs forward and sets to begin another assault on the evil artificial. Once again, Virus was there to block each hit. They then start to fight into the air, with Metalla X pushing Virus up higher and higher in elevation. They stop for a very brief second, and then Metalla X jumps forward and starts the assault once again. Black War Greymon watches on from the ground. Metalla X yells out as his attacks continue on. He then pushes Virus into a nearby rock wall.
"Well? Is this all of the power of your full evolution?"
Virus simply smirks at his comments. Metalla X cries out and flies right at him, but Virus grabs him and they quickly change directions. Now Metalla X was stuck against the wall. He glares right at Virus, but the evil artificial smiles right back at him. Virus throws a punch that Metalla X barely manages to dodge. He lets out a frightened grunt and stares right at Virus with a fearful expression. Virus laughs and, without withdrawing his hand, blasts the hill that Metalla X is currently stuck against. It then explodes from the inside. A huge explosion occurs and the hill disappears within a flash of light.
As the light and smoke clears away, all that is left of the large hill is fallen debris and devastation left in its wake. Metalla X and Virus face other each other without a single scratch oh them. However, Metalla X just stares off, as if in shock. Virus flies higher into the air. Metalla X snaps out of his little trance and follows Virus up.
"Young father has already excelled the level of digital fusion," Angemon X replied.
Across the landscape are some rather rugged hilltops and lifeless mountains. But there wasn't even enough landscape to even hold off such great destructive blasts from two such warriors as Metalla X and Virus.
The two fighters finally land facing each other on some adjacent cliff sides. They kept their eyes right on one another and would not let anything distract them at any moment.
"It looks like at least you can fight with me, but you're still no match for a fusion warrior such as myself. After all, you've absorbed the rubbish artificials to increase your power, and that's the kind of power you can get."
Virus simply smiles again at his comments.
"Maybe."
"You're still laughing."
Virus continues to laugh, which infuriates Metalla X even more. Metalla X growled angrily at the way that Virus was mocking him.
"Once we got my power just like my young father's… but one day, we suddenly got beyond that," Angemon X replied, "I remembered that. Tai told me that. I won't tell young father, because hes a pretty proud guy."
"But, Dimitri. Why don't you just forget his damn pride?" asked Davis.
"Because I just can't! Young father should have just killed Virus when he had the chance!"
Virus and Metalla X are still just staring at each other across several crevices. One of them would make the next move and neither one will make a mistake.
****************************************************************************************
Back at Azulongmon's training grounds, everyone except for Yolei continue to follow the action that is transpiring. Hawkmon was the first to speak up.
"Good. Metalla X is radical. He's still strong enough to match the full evolution of Virus. You think he can match Virus?" asked Hawkmon.
They all look over towards Leomon with concerned looks on their faces. Azulongmon kept his focus right on the battle-taking place through one of his orbs.
"Damn!" growled Leomon. "Metalla X is actually very anxious to find that in front of him, there's someone equal to him or even stronger. That's why he has to judge calmly."
Azulongmon and Gennai look back right at the viewing orb to watch the face down between the two fighters on Earth.
"Why don't you guys tell me what's going?" asked Yolei, "Its not fair that I can't even read ki levels if I'm not in our fusion form. Hawkmon! Time to fuse."
"Uhh. I think I'm pretty much worn out from the last battle."
"Excuses. Excuses."
X remained quiet for good reason. He knew the end was nearing near for Metalla X's dominance.
****************************************************************************************
Back inside the training chamber, the ground suddenly starts to glow a bright pink color. Grunts and cries were being heard in the background. Then, the fusion form of Gatomon and Kari appears. They were the ones grunting and screaming after taking a major beating from their recent training. Now a fight was taking place between herself and Omega X.
"Great work, Celesta X! You managed to fuse together and your Judgment Spear makes up for your beautiful and deadly combination."
"You haven't seen anything yet, big brother."
The two warriors spar with one another in the middle of the training chamber with their eyes locked on one another.
Celesta X flies up into the air with a pink aura covering her while she fights Omega X. But Omega X, on the other hand, can fight simply standing, and he has no aura surrounding his body. There was a huge power difference between the two. One may have more power, but the other has plenty of experience.
"That's right, Celesta. Now you can control most of your ki. That's good."
Celesta X continued on throwing punches and kicks at her older brother, who seems to have a little trouble with a few of the punches. But for the most part, he is able to block out her attacks.
"You're so calm. If this goes on, you'll become quite better than Agumon and myself," Omega X replied.
Celesta X continues on fighting, screaming with each punch she attempts to throw at Omega X. Their training continues on as a much bigger situation occurs just on the outside of the training chamber.
**************************************************************************************
Back at the battle site on the island, Virus and Metalla X continue to stare right each other. Metalla X looks off to the side for a moment and then he looks right back at Virus. Metalla X then hovers into the air and lands on a new ledge. Virus turns to face Metalla X's new position. Virus quickly vanishes. This catches Metalla X by surprise, but certainly not frightened by any means.
[Random Japanese Dragonball Z background battle music]
He turns around and sees Virus. Now the evil artificial is standing on the same ledge as Metalla X is.
"You coward," muttered Metalla X.
A rock falls near Virus' foot then Metalla X's aura flares up. He screams and renews his assault. Virus quickly vanishes out of sight. He begins dodging Metalla X's punches. From there, Virus quickly leaps from ledge and ledge that eventually leads him down a pathway. Metalla X quickly catches up to him and begins throwing ki-blasts right at Virus. But none of them were able to make direct contact with Virus.
Virus turns and flies right up, and Metalla X's ki blasts follow him all the way up.
"No! I won't let you get away that easily, Virus!"
Virus finally stops and turns to see a barrage of ki-blasts coming right at him from within a cloud of dust thrown up from their battle while it was still going on down on the ground. Virus looks up and another wave of ki blasts comes right down from above as if it were showering. They hit. Then the explosion and dust began to expand around Virus and completely covered him right up. Metalla X watches on and a smile forms across his face.
Suddenly, a loud roar comes from the loud and it quickly separates and disintegrates. This catches Metalla X by surprise and he gasps. Virus comes out of hiding from the smoke and laughs.
"Oh! You're really good, Yamato. That attack was very powerful. Very impressive."
Metalla X turns and sees Virus hovering right behind him. He turns around and makes a pissed off look while giving off a exhaled gasp.
"Shut up," muttered Metalla X.
He quickly powers out and screams out. He proceeds by throwing some more ki-blasts right at Virus. Once again, the cloud of smoke expands around Virus. Metalla X screams and keeps up his assault.
"Father… Do it… Finish it," Angemon X said.
"No! Matt is losing his composure! He's going to blow like a gasket anytime now," TK cried out.
Black War Greymon watched on and knew ahead of time of what was really going on since he is able to keep up with the two super powers despite their tremendous power and speed.
"Virus has absorbed the power of Artificials Jax and Sonja. His strength is now beyond my expectations."
Metalla X breathes heavily and watches the smoke cloud around Virus. He sees that Virus is fine before the cloud even fully clears. Now there is not even a single scratch on his body. Metalla X's aura flares up again and he was getting pissed off.
"Damn it!"
Metalla X flies straight up at Virus, who is still completely unharmed. Virus smiles right down at him. Metalla X tries the physical attack method yet again, but Virus easily dodges everything being thrown at him. Metalla X throws a powerful kick, but Virus catches it with ease. Metalla X flips back and stares right at Virus. His aura strengthens and expands slightly.
"Damn you, Virus!"
Virus' aura turns the entire area inside the cloud gold, and the light from his aura penetrates the cloud and expands outward.
With the smoke cloud gone, Metalla X begins looking around for the now-vanished Virus. Suddenly, something dark made its presence felt on the ground below. From far away on the ground below, Virus stares up at Metalla X with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
"How could Datamon have created such a terrible monster?" Black War Greymon asked to himself.
Metalla X gasps and finally turns around. He then sees Virus behind him on the ground below. He flies straight in and begins his attack once again. He is obviously getting thoroughly pissed. He screams as he attacks, but Virus is able to block everything. He quickly catches Metalla X's arms and holds them tightly in his grasp. The two stare right at each other with fire in their eyes.
"Don't look down on me, Virus! I'm serious here," Metalla X angrily said.
Metalla X throws his feet up to kick Virus right in the face, but Virus releases Metalla X and flies into the air before the kick ever connects. Metalla X flips back and rockets back at Virus with a thunderous yell. They go at it again with the same results. Virus flips over Metalla X's head and lands several meters away behind him.
With so much strength on Virus' side, one has to wonder why he has been on the defense thus far in this battle against the ever-powerful Metalla X.
Metalla X turns around to face his adversary and growls angrily under his breath.
"Father… be careful," Angemon X said.
"There is such a big gap between their powers," replied Black War Greymon.
Virus simply smiles right over to Metalla X as if he wasn't breaking a single sweat.
"Damn it! You're toying with me!"
Metalla X begins to power up even further, but it only has been about a second worth of powering up to reaching to his full maximum power. He was basically just wasting it without any apparent reason. Rocks and debris rise into the air as a result of the gravitational forces surrounding the fused warrior. But as soon as the reach two feet up into the air, they explode and he's done powering up.
"You haven't even done your best yet!"
Virus puts his hands on his hips and cracks yet another smirk on his face.
"Heh. That's why I said that this was just simply a warm-up.
"What?! It can't be!" Ken shouted.
"No! No! Impossible," TK said.
"It was just a warm up?" pondered Angemon X.
Davis and Veemon stand there with shocked looks on their faces. Then they gulp at the sheer thought of Virus unleashing his true depths of his final power.
"Come on! Lets get on with it and get to the real fighting! You were attacked by me so heavily, Virus, you should be angry," Metalla X shouted out.
Suddenly the ground shakes a bit around Metalla X and rocks begin to rise up into the air once again, but only a few, and they only rise up to Metalla X's shoulder level before exploding into pieces.
"Even though you reached your full evolution, you haven't changed a damn bit! You're still the same person! You're the same when I kicked your ass! I was kicking your ass! So, lets see what your full evolution power is really made," Metalla X said in a very angry tone.
"But of course," Virus replied.
Virus steps backwards and quickly launches himself right at Metalla X. Metalla X prepares to meet him head on. However, Virus continues right past Metalla X and stops right behind him. Metalla X gasps and glares back right at him.
"I said, don't look down upon Super Metalla X. Damn you!"
With that said, Metalla X goes flying right at Virus and executes a kick to the side of the monster's head. Virus' head goes tilting back as a result of the force of the kick.
"Yes! He's won," cried out Davis.
The others, including Angemon X, quickly become momentarily happy at the sight of what just transpired. But then it all fades away almost immediately, though, when Metalla X realizes that Virus wasn't even hurt.
"What?! Impossible!" exclaimed Metalla X.
Virus looks straight right at Metalla X and laughs. Metalla X flips away and lands facing him. He starts to catch his breathe and stares right at Virus in frightened astonishment. Virus smiles and begins to laugh once again. He then covers his mouth with his fist.
"So you're Super Metalla?!"
Metalla X stared right at Virus, with his eyes wide and mouth gaping wide open. He couldn't believe that Virus was able to take some of his most powerful attacks and was even more shocked to see not a single scratch on the artificial's new body.
"No! He should have won!" Ken exclaimed, "Metalla X struck Virus' weak point, but he wasn't even hurt at all! He's become some sort of mechanical freak!"
"More like genetic freak," said Davis.
"Dimitri, aren't you going to use your potential to give Metalla X a hand?" asked Veemon.
"Father… Young father thinks it's an insult if Tai or I help him. He rather die in this battle against Virus," Angemon X said.
"But… Oh man, this is not a good way to see somebody end up on the losing end, we're going to lose him!" TK exclaimed.
Virus casually walks right over towards Metalla X with cool and confident look on his face.
**************************************************************************************
Back at Azulongmon's training grounds, Leomon watched the battle preparing to conclude through the viewing orb. He watched with widened eyes.
"That's it. Matt is dead. Metalla X is screwed," muttered Leomon.
"You're right," X replied. "His ass is grass."
***************************************************************************************
Back inside the training chamber, Celestial X and Omega X continue on their training. They blast each other with the best of their ability and prepare for perhaps one of their most important battle as Digi-Destined.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island site, a huge one on one battle was taking place and it would determine the fate of two worlds. In one side, there's a very destructive artificial hell bent on destroying mankind and digimon. His intentions are to carry out Datamon's wishes. This is Virus. The other is a proud and arrogant warrior, who is the combined fusion of both Yamato "Matt" Ishida and Gabumon. This warrior was named Metalla X.
Thus far, things have not been looking good for Metalla X and the good guys. Virus is easily beating Metalla X with his newly evolved back intact.
From the looks of the sky and the ocean, it seems to be a normal, peaceful day. But one closer look at the island easily shows that one would think that a nuclear detonation was set off. Boulders are scattered about the entire island, with uprooted trees lying on the ground. The scene was not quite pleasant. In fact, a nuclear warhead didn't cause it. A battle was indeed taking place here between two super powers.
Metalla X stares right at Virus with a shocked look on his face. Black War Greymon glares right over towards Virus. The look on his face conveys a big desire in lending Metalla X a hand, but knew he would just get in the way and end up getting killed for his futile attempts.
"Metalla X's attack struck Virus' body, but Virus wasn't even effected by anyone of Metalla X's most powerful techniques," Black War Greymon said.
He looks right back over to Metalla X, who was still shocked and looking over towards Virus.
"There is such a big difference between them in power. But is there really a difference or am I just over exaggerating, rambled on Black War Greymon.
"What's the matter, Yamato? Digimon got your tongue? Hmmm?" asked Virus.
Metalla X stares right over at Virus with widened eyes, dumbfounded and perhaps scared. Virus simply smiles. Metalla X can do nothing but gasp and stare. He soon begins to recall his futile attack on Virus' weak spot. Virus just smiles as Metalla X continues on showing more fear.
"My… My force leg… Didn't even effect him… I used every fiber within my body through that one kick!"
Metalla X recalls the scene again and it began to replay in his mind over and over again.
"Why?!"
"What's the matter, Yamato? Smile, Yamato. Relax. Take a deep breath. You're not dreaming. This is real. The nightmare is indeed real."
Metalla X stands there and simply just gapes at his powerful adversary.
"Hey Yamato! Head up!"
[Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle Theme" plays]
Metalla X looked but wasn't able to detect of what was coming right at him. Virus quickly flies into the air and kicks Metalla X right through a nearby rock wall. Metalla X sails through the wall, followed by another, and another, and several more along the way, before he was able to catch himself in midair. He begins to raise his ki level, and the ocean below him starts to reflect this by spreading away, forming a dome shape below him.
Metalla X stops suddenly, though, and drops out from the sky and down into the water below. Black War Greymon watches in surprise. The water settles so that its only motion is once again the regular tide, and still, Metalla X was not able to resurface himself.
The other children watch on in astonishment while Angemon X watches on nervously. His concern for his young father was getting the best of his emotions, as of now. But he remained clear and focused on the battle itself. Then his aura flares around him.
Finally, Metalla X is able to pierce his arm out from the water and attempts to pull himself up onto the nearest dry land available. He pulls himself out the seas and gasps for air. He then collapses on the ground panting.
"Ha, Metalla X. You said that the difference between us would be huge. It's no fun. Now I'm giving you back this line."
Metalla growls and simply ignores him. He then looks over right at him as if he were ready to attack him once again.
Ken, TK and the others all look oh with shock on their eyes. Davis and Veemon made nervous muttering sounds while watching. Slowly, Angemon X continues to build up his anger slowly at a time. Then his muscles start to pump, as if he's about to power out of rage alone, but he's trying to suppress it as much as he could.
"What are you doing, Dimitri? If you don't go out there and save Matt, the he's going to die," said Davis.
Angemon X simply grunts while trying to keep his power intact and not release it out of rage alone. He would not waste his energy over such an emotion.
"If he dies, all of that pride will go too," replied Angemon X, "Only when young father faints and collapses in the fight then I will go out to help him. If he faints, he can't see that I have excelled him."
"Forget his damn pride!" exclaimed Veemon.
"But I can't. For my young father, pride is very important. Without that pride, he is not himself anymore. Not to mention that I have excelled him, young father was such a lonely person before he met each and every one of you. Yet, my mother was somehow attracted to him for some unknown reason. It must be because of his pride and good looks. Besides, I'm also…"
"I agree," replied TK, "As his younger brother, I know how you feel at this moment, Dimitri. You're not alone."
"Well, for your sakes, just pray that he won't be killed before he faints," said Davis.
Angemon X has his eyes locked onto the battlefield and becomes focused towards the two super powers.
Metalla X is finally out of the water, on his hands and knees, still heavily breathing. He looks right up at Virus, who was still facing him.
"Yamato, what a shame. It looks like the warm up is almost over."
"Damn it," Metalla X cursed.
"Before I say goodbye, I should really thank you. Thank you for your stupidity for helping me reach my full evolution."
Metalla X stands right up on his feet while still catching his breathe. He suddenly regains his composure and stares right down at Virus. He almost falls as soon as he gets up, but he manages to maintain his balance. Suddenly, now a huge fire was boiling within him and something just snapped in his mind. He growled angrily and started powering up to his maximum power. By now, he was getting extremely angry at this point.
Black War Greymon raises his hand, preparing to launch a surprise attack on Virus from behind. He glares right at the evil artificial and slowly steps forward toward him. Suddenly, he gasped as Virus began to speak.
"Eh. Eh. You should know the result. Don't even waste your efforts, Black War Greymon. You're just a piece of rubbish now."
Metalla X breathes heavily and slowly lifts himself right into the air. He hovers up and looks right down at Virus. Metalla X stops about several meters and has his eyes locked onto Virus. He stretches his arms and legs out with a grunt. He begins to scream heavily while his ki level began to rise. His aura flares up around him and his ki begins to increase. Below him, the ground starts to give away and the ocean moves back so that there's a half circle directly underneath him. He screams constantly, his ki continues to increase even further.
"Father!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"What does he think he's doing?" pondered Ken.
Tons of debris flies up into the air. Black War Greymon gasps and stares right up at Metalla X. Virus watches his adversary, unimpressed and not intimidated. A large shadow descends over the entire area. Clouds move by rapidly overhead. Metalla X's ki rises higher and higher. He sticks his arms straight out in front of him, wrist to wrist, somewhat almost like Omega X's Terra Blast. But the hand position for the Terra Blaster was vertical; this position that Metalla X was in was vertical. It was the complete opposite.
He never stops screaming the entire time. A ki blast flickers in the palms of his hands. Lighting strikes out from the area that Metalla X was hovering at. Dust and debris fly right towards Virus. He is still perfectly calm. Metalla X's ki-blast continues to flicker in his hands. Now his arms were glowing a blue metallic color each time a ki blast appears in his palms. The other children and their digimon managed to holds their arms up shield their faces from the debris.
"Father! What are you doing," Angemon X cried out.
"Virus! Even though you've reached your full evolution, are you even brave enough to resist the attack face to face?!"
Metalla X continues on powering up as a sadistic look forms across his face. Now the blast is appearing more frequently and staying for longer periods of time, but still continues to flicker. Large rock formations began breaking apart and crumble. Virus still smiles right up at Metalla X.
"Impossible! You're just a piece of yellow good-for-nothing! Your just a damned coward!"
But even those harsh words didn't even make Virus flinch and he stood there still smiling.
"He's trying to incite Virus to make him unaware of his attack," Angemon X said.
"No kidding! He really wants to use that to destroy the whole planet! He's really lost it now! Matt has lost his freaking mind and will destroy us all," cried out Davis.
Rocks and dust crumble. Virus uncrosses his arms and holds them out right in front of him, as if he were going to catch this large blast. He then clenches his fists tightly.
"Please don't father! Your going to destroy the Earth like this," cried out Angemon X, "You're powering up too much! Father!"
"Run now, Dimitri! Before we all get wiped out," TK yelled out.
"Blizzard Storm Barrier!"
Suddenly a massive metallic blue blast bursts forth in the form of a blizzard as it began to break through anything in its way, on a direct path with Virus. Virus stares right up at it, suddenly a bit uneasy. Not to the point of being scared, but certainly not as calm and sure of himself as he was moments before. His unease quickly turns to fear, though.
"No!"
Black War Greymon gasps and decides to take cover from the blast but it was able to move directly towards Virus and away from him. The blast goes straight through at Virus and then is seen continuing straight on into outer space. It then explodes brightly as a star would shine after traveling quite a distance through space and time beyond.
***************************************************************************************
Back inside the training room, there is a shadow of darkness and a large lake. It was rather reflective as a figure was standing on top of the water's surface. It was none other than Celestial X. Gatomon and Kari have really been impressive in their new fusion form and have pushed themselves to whole new limits.
She then suddenly throws a pink ki blast. The area is soon lighted by the blast, but it really lights up once it exploded. She stands completely upright as her long blonde hair blows around in the wind created by the force of the explosion.
"Oh man! I'm very hungry!" cried out Tai.
Celesta X turns her attention over towards the food storage and looks over to see none other than Tai and Agumon grabbing themselves some grub. A sweat drop comes down her head as she looked to see that he gathered a buffet meal rather than just a little snack.
"This. And this and definitely these," Agumon said to himself.
"Whew. All of these are my favorite food. And these are definitely Kari's favorite snack!" Tai exclaimed.
They both turn around with their arms completely full of food and shut the storage door with their feet. Celesta X smiles and quickly flies over towards the room and throws more punches into the air.
"Kari!"
Celesta X suddenly stops and turns around to the sound of her human name being called.
"Hmmm?"
Her aura then completely fades and half of her hair goes from a pure golden blonde to a more blonde with brown highlights in them.
"Its dinner time," cried out Agumon.
"Oh goodie! Hang in there," Celesta X responded out to them.
Celesta X runs up towards the dinner room as Tai and Agumon stand there to greet them.
"We really need to get our stomach filled with something, otherwise I'm going to pass out here," Tai said.
"No kidding. No food means any work for me. I really need it," Agumon remarked.
"Wow, these food items that you picked out are definitely a favorite of ours," said Celesta X.
"All right Agumon, now cook this piece of chicken for me," Tai said while holding a piece of chicken on a plate.
"Sure. Pepper Breathe!"
Agumon shoots out a ball of fire and sends it right for the piece of chicken. The fire starts to engulf the chicken and explode right in Tai's face. The boy stood there with pieces of dried up chicken on his face and a flame on one side of his hair.
"Whoops! Looks like I really screwed up big time, Tai," said Agumon.
Celesta X sits there giggling at the way Agumon messed up Tai's dinner so to speak.
"Now, Agumon. What did I tell you about your fire? You should really be careful. You could have burned my damn finger off!"
"Um… Ah! Your hair, Tai! Your hair!"
"Don't change the subject on me, Agumon. I said… huh? Ow! Oh, shit!"
"Your hair is on fire, Tai!"
"Hurry Agumon! Put it out! Put it out!"
****************************************************************************************
Back at the battle site, the last attack that Metalla X used glowed brightly and slowly fades away. The rocks and debris return to the ground, the dust begins to settle, the ocean fills in the new gaps and craters that Metalla X created as all of a result of his last attack.
Angemon X stands there hovering in the air. He looks around and sees none other than Xveemon holding Davis in his arms. Angemon was holding TK, and Stingmon was holding onto Ken tightly.
"Whew! We're saved!" Davis said.
"My father knew what he was doing all along," replied Angemon X, "He calculated how to shrink the area. He managed to push the blast right at Virus and made sure that it avoided from slamming into the planet."
Metalla X now stands on the middle of the ground of the settling dust. His arms are still out in front of him, and he's breathing heavily.
"There? Was that enough for you?" asked Metalla X.
The dust around Virus begins to clear away. Virus has a scared look on his face with his eyes all widening in shock. He has that look of extreme pain on his face, his teeth are clenched and he's simply just grunting and growling. Only his neck on up can be seen. Metalla X pants and has his eyes locked onto his adversary. The dust finally clears away, and the true damage is seen. Virus' entire right side is now gone. It was all torn off. His right leg still remains, but half of his midsection, including the shoulder and arm, are gone.
"Well I guess I should take that as a yes," Metalla X said.
Virus moves his eyes towards his midsection and gasps to himself in shock.
"Damn… Damn it! You maimed me! Damn you!"
Metalla X stands there and starts to laugh. It was now more of a forced chuckle as he looks over at the ridiculous state that Virus is in.
The others all look on from the air and they couldn't believe at what they just saw. They are even more shocked to see Metalla X made a huge dent on Virus, but more than just dent but severe damage to his fully evolved body.
"Yeah! He's got him! Virus is done," said Davis.
Angemon X looks down with a relieved look on his face. He was now very proud to admit that his own father was strong this whole time and may have held back his power, but that is impossible to comprehend at this very moment.
There seems to be no signs of blood from the large wound on the body of Virus. Not even any traces on entrails or a single drop of blood. Instead there was just pieces of green and white skin underneath as if it were some sort of Styrofoam. No blood or any signs of organs
"No! How can this be?! I've become a whole body!" cried out Virus.
Metalla X stands there as he continues on laughing at his adversary, who was now looking ridiculous at the moment. Virus holds of what little was left of his right shoulder and shuts his eyes.
"Damn it! Stop laughing!"
Metalla X laughs even harder and couldn't control himself. He was completely now more relaxed and relieved as ever. But soon that wouldn't last long. Virus opens his eyes again. A smile forms across the monster's face.
"What's the matter?"
Metalla X suddenly stops and looks right over at his adversary. Now Virus seems to be perfectly calm despite the tremendous damage inflicted on his body.
"You're laughing. But have you forgotten that I have the ability to regenerate my lost limbs?!"
[Perfect Cell's English Dub Background theme plays]
Metalla X's smile completely disappears and he there's there with a shocked look on his face. He starts to shake tremendously and gasp under his breathe. Now it was a sign of fear. He glares right at Virus, who is now having a huge smile on his face. The edge of the damaged area bulges. Metalla X stands there gasping. Suddenly, every damaged body part and lost limbs were completely regenerated in an instant. Metalla X stares, wide-eyed and gasping at the regenerated Virus.
Virus stands there and stretches his newly regenerated left arm and then stretches his whole body.
"Are you impressed?"
Ken, TK and Davis look on with amazement on their faces. The digimon were astonished while Angemon X was looking down with an angry look on his face.
"No… This is just impossible," TK said.
"He has the ability to regenerate. Virus somehow is able to regenerate any lost limbs. Incredible. How could Datamon have done this?" pondered Ken.
"That isn't important at this moment, Ken," Stingmon assured him.
Virus tests out his new arm and turns to face towards Metalla X. Metalla X stands there with a shocked look on his face while gasping under his breathe. He was choked and unable to say a single word.
"Alright, now I'm going to kill you very soon," said Virus.
Metalla X gasps and prepares to fight again as he gets into a fighting position. Virus walks right over towards him. Metalla X throws a ki-blast right at him, but it has no effect on the fully evolved monster. Virus takes a step forward.
"Damn you!"
Metalla X throws as many ki blasts as he possibly could and he did it as quickly as possible. The explosions quickly build on themselves and expand out. The other children scream out in shock but their digimon remained clam until they realize what kind of damage those ki blasts were able to inflict upon Virus.
Metalla X continues his barrage, but Virus walks right through it and emerges right in front of him. Metalla X cringes at the sight of Virus. Virus simply punches him and Metalla X goes flying back, sliding into the ground. He stands and wipes any blood off his face that might be there. Virus knees him in the jaw, sending Metalla X flying right up into the sky. Virus quickly phases out and reappears right in Metalla X's path.
The others gasped at what they were about to see at what was going to happen. Angemon X watches on in complete horror.
Metalla X flies right into Virus, and then Virus smashes an elbow right into the spine of Metalla X. It was a painful sight to say the least as Metalla X screams and starts to cough out tons of blood. Bones could be heard snapping from that instant. Metalla X slams right down into the Earth, fully unconscious. Soon, his energy starts to dramatically decrease and his whole fusion body starts to separate into two. Now Matt and Gabumon were both laying on the ground unconscious.
"Oh no! This is not good! They're not in fusion form anymore," muttered Davis. "This means that they're either out cold… or… dead," replied Angemon.
Virus looks down at the two bodies from above and simply laughs to himself.
"Now, Yamato. I shall come down there and end your miserable life. Time to die."
Xveemon and Davis turned towards Angemon X with angry looks on their faces.
"DIMITRI! It's the right time now! Ascend to that next level and kick his sorry ass," exclaimed Davis.
[Dragonball Z SSJ Trunks theme plays]
Suddenly, Angemon X begins to glow brightly with a golden color. The golden color flashes on and off as if it were a flickering switch light. However, it is not constant. The others stare right at him, apparently quite surprised by his new power. Virus quickly hovers down and lands towards the two fallen bodies of Matt and Gabumon.
"Dimitri… Are you okay?" asked Ken.
Angemon quickly throws his head back and his ki level starts to explode into new heights of power. His body starts to tremble as his power increased and the muscles on his body were slowly bulging up. The others tremble and edge away from him.
"Dimitri? Hey, can you hear me? Dimitri? Are you okay?" asked TK.
Angemon X looks down and his head helmet pop right off of his head. Now the pupils in his eyes have completely disappeared. The symbol of the crest of hope was glowing transcendently over his head during his power up.
Virus stops in front of the two fallen bodies of Matt and Gabumon. He extends his arm, palm open and right above them. He was now ready to blast them out of existence.
"Thank you for the warm up, Yamato. Your petty efforts have managed you to get you killed in the end. Rest in pieces, Yamato."
Suddenly, Virus feels a very strong ki level and looks up to see none other than Angemon X, whose ki level continues to rise to whole new proportions of power. Virus' eyes go wide and he gasps.
Now that Dimitri has managed to unleash his hidden powers, can he go in and save the day? Now it is time for Dimitri to demonstrate his full power in the fight against Virus! But will it be enough?

Angemon X: Virus. My father may have fallen in defeat, but I will avenge his loss.
Virus: So, you're willing to carry out you're father's hopes and dreams? Do you really think you stand better chance than Yamato?
Angemon X: Virus. I'm facing you, because you're kind took away everything I every cherished in my time. My life was changed forever. My friends and family were exterminated like animals.
X: Is this the true depth of Matt's son?
Leomon: Outstanding. His power is growing! He might be stronger than his father.
Angemon X: You're kind destroyed my future, Virus. I intend to break of that nightmare by defeating you.
Virus: I was designed by Datamon not just to kill Taichi, but I've discovered a new purpose. I use my power to compete with others and allow myself to grow stronger. Once I defeat you and Taichi, then I will destroy this planet not to mention the digital worlds. In the end, I shall be victorious.

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Dimitri's Rage Erupts! The Visions from the Hellish Future!
Back on the island site, the battle is still waging on between the good of the Digi-Destined team against the single most powerful evil both worlds has ever seen. That being was Virus.
Clouds swirl about above the entire island. There is a single force gathering a large amount of energy from his surroundings and it was not Virus. It was Dimitri in his fusion form, Angemon X. Angemon X continues to transform in the sky. His hair on his head blows around the wind created by his own power, and he begins to scream as his ki level rises higher and higher. Short electrical circuits began to spark around him, but then quickly die out.
The other children and their digimon tremble as they watched their comrade powering up to what maybe his true maximum form, his actual ascension of the normal digital fusion level. Virus turns and looks up at the powering up Angemon X.
"What the hell is this? What is he doing?!"
Angemon X stops screaming his lungs off and then brings his head forwards. It looked as though he threw it back when he was screaming. The pupils in Angemon X's eyes were already gone and his eyes were completely white. Virus' eyes bulge with shock.
"Dimitri?! I wonder if you are really powering up to your maximum power level," Virus said with concern.
Angemon X stared right down at Virus and was even scary enough to send chills down the spines of anybody who would dare oppose him. Even the other children were scared out of their wits at what they were looking at. This was their own comrade and they are already afraid of his new power. Davis and Xveemon both stare at Angemon X, frightened of his new power.
A spark bursts out of Angemon X's wrist and this causes them to practically want to jump out of their skin.
"Dimitri hasn't even used all of his maximum power just yet in his fusion form," said Stingmon.
"Yes and it is already a frightening power," Ken said, "I wonder why a fused warrior would want to become like this?"
"I've never seen this type of behavior from any kind of fusion warrior, especially experiences types such as Omega X," TK said.
Angemon X continues to power up and pays no attention to discussion going on between his comrades at the moment. So they decided to talk to each other a bit more.
"It's quite simple," said Angemon, "Every time they meet a new challenge and a new enemy, their ki level seems to get higher and higher after each battle. I've seen it during the battles against Burizalor and the artificials. But this is a very common trait amongst digimon. And fusion warriors are no different. However, they tend to get more powerful to the point where they don't seem to have any kind of limitations to their power."
"A very good hypothesis," replied Ken, "But don't you think there could be other good predictions?"
"Who knows. As far as I'm concerned, I think Dimitri's power alone should be able to bring down a powerhouse such as Virus," TK replied.
"TG is right. We're just going to have to trust in Dimitri's abilities. He's our friend and we're going to let him handle this," Davis replied.
"These beings are fighting machines without any real limit," Xveemon said, "They're really amazing."
Suddenly, Angemon X looks over towards his comrades with a possessed look on his face. They all jump back and scream. Suddenly, Angemon X's pupils return back within an instant.
"Hey guys," Angemon X said.
The group stop and all sigh a relief. They were glad that Dimitri didn't lose control and end up attacking them in an act of aggression.
"Whew, we're really relieved that you were able to resume your composure," said TK.
"I thought you would go insane out of rage and attack us in an act of aggression," Ken replied.
"You really scared us there, dude," Davis said, "We're your friends and we'll back you in any way we can."
"Can you guys help me by taking my father and Gabumon out of here and taking him back to Odaiba for me?" asked Angemon X.
"Great. You even talk sensibly," said Xveemon, "We were afraid that you turn against us out of rage. But we knew that you wouldn't."
"No problem. I'm fine. You guys are always there for me and I wouldn't even turn my back on you," Angemon X, "But make sure you help get my father and Gabumon better. They were beaten up pretty bad."
"But is it all right?" asked Davis, "Aren't you going to need our help?"
"No. Leave this fight with me. I don't need any help. My power has ascended now. Just do me this favor for me, please."
Angemon X quickly flies right down towards the battlefield in order to face against the powerful Virus in a one on one showdown.
"Well. The way he put it, he's really very confident," said Stingmon.
"Yes but unlike his father, he looks very sure that he will win this battle," Ken said.
Virus looks up to see Angemon X flying down towards the battlefield. As Angemon X reaches the ground; his own landing was enough to throw up debris and dirt into the air. Suddenly his aura disappears. Virus stares right over towards Angemon X, but Angemon X stares right over towards his adversary.
Black War Greymon looks over towards Angemon X and could easily sense his tremendous power level.
"Awesome. He has such a strong potential. Much stronger than Metalla X's!"
Virus turns away from the two fallen bodies of Matt and Gabumon, and turns his attention towards Angemon X. The young fusion warrior starts his way over towards Virus.
"Its all over, Virus. I must kill you now."
Virus smiles and turns all the way over towards to meet Angemon X.
"Well I've heard that one."
They both walk toward each other, so that they'll meet each other halfway across the battlefield.
"Ah. You're way too proud, Dimitri. I can tell that look in your eye. Just like your father."
Angemon X doesn't respond to the evil artificial's words and stops right in front of Virus. They both stare right at each other in a sort of battlefield showdown, with each other locking their eyes on one another.
Angemon X glares right up at his taller adversary, but Virus stares right down at Angemon X with a cold, lifeless in his eyes. Black War Greymon watches them in his same spot in total silence. The other children look down at the two of them and gulp at what may just happen in a matter of moments.
They simply stand together in silence for a very long time. Finally, Virus is able to throw in a kick from one side to nail Angemon X. But he manages to flip backwards dodging the kick. Virus goes for another kick but Angemon X is able to block that with one arm. They remain like that for a second, and then vanish in a flash of light.
"Whoa! They're gone!" exclaimed Davis.
"They moved so fast that not even I could keep up with them!" Angemon said.
"They're speed and power is obviously faster than any living being in two worlds," replied Ken.
They all look around for the two fighters, but are unable to locate them. Even the digimon were having trouble reading their exact ki level locations. Suddenly, Stingmon points up and shouts out.
"Up there!"
[Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle Theme: plays]
The two super powers clash with one another, and a shockwave flash travels out in all directions away from separating clouds. It was now quite obvious that the two fighters were faster than the speed of light itself.
Suddenly, Virus falls down onto the ground below. Angemon X goes following down after him. Angemon X catches up and smashes him with a ax handle blow to his chest. The hit alone causes another shockwave to occur, and there wasn't even resistance to it. Virus simply crashes down into the ground.
"What?! He got him?" pondered Angemon.
"Yeah! Way to go, Dimitri!" shouted Davis.
Rocks and debris completely rain down over the fallen body of Virus. Angemon X lands beside the settling dust cloud. He looks over at the cloud, waiting for Virus to resurface.
"Has he defeated Virus already?" asked Stingmon.
"I hope so," Ken said, "But know Virus, he never gives up, period. Bad guys tend to usually never do."
The dust slowly begins to settle. Angemon X silently watched the dust cloud. Black War Greymon gasps at what he saw.
"What kind of a practice did he take in that chamber room?" pondered TK, "It really has helped him a lot. And I wonder if Kari and Tai are getting the same treatment right now. Oh Kari, I hope you can handle it."
***************************************************************************************
Back inside the chamber room, the Kamiya siblings resumed their digimon fusion training with Agumon and Gatomon. Their full year was almost drawing to a close and they would now make short work of making their last days one of their hardest-working ever.
Tai looks over towards War Greymon and they quickly fused together to become Omega X. Now they were able to fuse much quicker without the use of the digivices.
"Kari, no matter how, you have to be able to catch us."
"Right. Lets do this Gatomon."
"Right!"
Omega X quickly flies off into the distance with tremendous speed. Kari and Gatomon touched each other's hands and a powerful beam of light came between them. They came together into a single light and fused to become the beautiful blonde, Amazonian warrior of holy light, Celesta X. They were now in their Amazing Grace form.
Celesta X flies up and goes right after Omega X into the distance in hopes of catching up to her brother. She stops, lands onto the ground and looks around her surroundings. She let herself being to sense the readings of Omega X's ki. She then suddenly throws out a ki-blast in order to catch Omega X off guard and it completely missed and flew right into the distance.
"Ha! Your going to have to be a lot faster than that if you on catching my sis!" Omega X cried out.
Omega X flips up and quickly phases out. It catches Celesta X off guard as she begins to eye her surroundings. She disappears a second later, continuing her search.
Now all of a sudden, ki-blast are beginning to fly about around the whole chamber room. But once again, Omega X was able to dodge one coming out of nowhere.
"No, no way."
Suddenly, a blast comes down from above Omega X. He turns and looks up at it. He flies down to the ground and the blast follows. Omega X simply flies out of the way. Blasts rain down on him all the way from above. Now he was jumping away to avoid getting it from them. Now they all fly down at all sides. Omega X backed into a wall, looks forward, saw a ki-blast coming right at him. He jumps to the side, and the blast hits a platform on the edge of the exit way out of the training room. Omega X rolls away, then jumps onto his feet. Now four more ki-blasts come at him. Omega X sticks his hand out in order to block them out. They explode but he still stands there unharmed.
The smoke clears from around him and he looks around. Suddenly he felt somebody tap him right on the shoulder.
"Tai! I got you!"
Celesta X has her hands on Omega X's shoulders. He quickly turns to face her with a smile on his face.
"Way good for you, sis. You managed to catch us. You're getting better at this, better than I expected."
"Well I do got the fighting spirit of a Kamiya."
"How so true."
Suddenly a clock falls down from the top of the platform and lands on top of the fallen rubble left behind from the previous practice duel. Celesta X looks over at the damage that she had caused. Omega X laughs at the sight of what she had just did.
"But you've gone a little too far. But hey you're pretty tough for a girl."
"I was a bit carried away."
"If we don't repair this soon. Heh, then Azulongmon and the other guardians certainly won't be happy campers."
"Ha! I'll say!"
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island site, the battle is still taking place between Virus and Angemon X.
Angemon X still hasn't moved since the last attack he inflicted upon Virus. The others look on from the dust cloud from the sky above.
"Awesome. Dimitri has become very powerful," TK said.
"Beat that monster! Defeat Virus!" exclaimed Davis.
"Yeah! Kick his no good keester!" Xveemon cried out angrily.
Suddenly a loud maniacal laughter is heard from the pit itself. It was none other than Virus, who is still not down just yet.
"You guys! Look out!" shouted Angemon X.
Then a large explosion comes right out from the hole where Virus was laying at. This catches the other by surprise as they expected Virus to have survived such an onslaught attack. The explosion was powerful enough to force the other children back, while they screamed the whole way. Their respective digimon were able to catch them from flying back any further and blocks out all of the debris that attempted to hit them all head on. They all gasp. Rocks and debris fall from the sky.
[Perfect Cell's Dubbed English theme plays]
Virus finally begins to rise out of the crater itself. The children all look down in complete shock. Virus stops rising after getting about a meter or two off of the ground itself.
"Wow, you really are fascinating, Dimitri. A brilliant attack," said Virus.
"Damn it! I don't know what's creepier, listening to him or looking at him," remarked Davis.
"I say a little of both of both," Xveemon said.
"But we're not going to let that scumbag scare us. I say we get back into action!" exclaimed Davis.
"No because Dimitri requested to fight alone," TK said, "And we shall respect his wishes."
Angemon X remained silent as Virus stares right over at him. Angemon X's eyes narrow and he leaps right forward, with his fist outstretched. Virus quickly follows suit, and they meet in the middle of the battlefield, but their fists don't even reach their destined targets before they both phased out quickly. They both reappear right beside the other Digi-Destined out of nowhere, but of course they gasp and watch on.
Soon both fighters phase away and meet each other head on back onto the battlefield. Angemon X and Virus go into a frenzy mode, as they hammered away at each other with rapid punches, kicks, blocks and dodges from all corners and directions. Once again, dust and debris fly into the air.
"Great! They're going at it at a rather rapid pace," Stingmon said.
"Yes, but how long do you think that will last?" pondered Ken.
Black War Greymon watches on with a widened look on his eye. His other eye was now rather damaged at the moment, so he was a one-eyed artificial.
"Unbelievable power."
Matt and Gabumon still lie there on the battlefield unconscious as a result of being knocked by Virus a little while ago.
[Breaking Point "One of a Kind" theme plays, without the lyrics]
Suddenly, something runs through underground, tearing up the surface of the Earth as he goes. It was obvious that Virus was hiding his ki level and tearing through the Earth in order to move about. Virus breaks through the ground and continues on skidding through the water in his way. After he was being quite a distance away, an explosion sends millions of gallons of seawater into the sky. Angemon X and Virus quickly return back onto the island, fighting the whole way back. Angemon X delivers a kick down to Virus, then screams and follows right after him. He throws in a punch, but Virus quickly vanishes. Angemon X was able to land on one knee, shaking the ground as he gets there.
Angemon X looks up to see Virus flying down right at him, and manages to barely jump away from Viru's on coming fist. Virus punches the ground, instead. Angemon X lands several yards away, near the fallen Matt and Gabumon. The force of Virus' punch causes a fissure, and the ground below the two fallen bodies gives way just a bit. Angemon X looks at the bodies, and then to Virus.
Virus withdraws his fist from the ground and stands up. He turns to face Angemon X.
"Amazing. How did he manage to stay away from it so easily?" pondered Virus.
Angemon X remains silent, and Virus leaps into the air, flying straight at Angemon X. The young fusion warrior manages to phase out, and Virus quickly stops. He looks back. Angemon X comes in straight from behind, but Virus manages to dodge the punch. Virus reaches up and punches Angemon X right in the gut. Angemon X cries out in pain. Virus punches him back, and Angemon X lands with a thud on his back. The other Digi-Destined began to become nervous at the thought of Dimitri losing this battle.
Angemon X quickly sits up in time to meet Virus' foot. He flies further back, all the way through the dirt.
"Oh no! Dimitri!" TK cried out.
Virus walks right up towards the fallen warrior. Angemon X looks right back at him. Virus goes for a kick, but Angemon X manages to dodge. Angemon X handsprings back away from Virus. Virus flies up and kicks him anyway. Angemon X flies further back, bouncing over the ground.
"It's too late," muttered Ken, "What if we're too late to save him?"
"Let's not think like that Ken," Stingmon said.
"No kidding," Davis replied, "Dimitri won't let us down."
Angemon X sits up and looks up over towards his friends. He points down over towards Gabumon and Matt, who they have almost completely forgotten since they had their eyes locked onto the battle.
"Perfect. Now this is our chance to take my brother and Gabumon out of here and let them resume their fight," TK thought.
They all nodded over towards Angemon X and then flew right down over towards the two fallen bodies.
Virus flies forward and Angemon X jumps into a crouching position. Virus arrives and Angemon X throws his feet up to kick him, but Virus stops. Angemon X flips back, and Virus takes a step back, then jumps up to hit Angemon X further back. Angemon X quickly regains his composure, and then they go back into another hit, block, and punch frenzy with both of them evenly blocking and hitting each other with the best of their ability.
The other children lay beside the fallen bodies of Matt and Gabumon. TK looks down at their bodies and simply sighs to himself.
"Just because of his pride and allowing Virus to reach his full evolution, this is the result of it?" asked Davis.
"Yes. Now we must get my brother and Gabumon out of here," TK said, "Just as Dimitri demanded."
Xveemon bends over to pick up Gabumon while Angemon reaches down to pick up Matt.
"Dimitri is fighting with Virus with his new super powers," Ken said to the unconscious Matt. "Look at him, he's so much better than you now."
"No, he won't look cause he's too proud to admit being weaker than his own son," replied Davis, "You're son is a true hero, Matt. You better just accept it."
Angemon X blocked out Virus' assault. They stop and Angemon X jumps back, and then leaps forward to begin an attack of his own.
Both Angemon and Xveemon stand up with both Matt and Gabumon slung on their shoulders.
"You're unable to watch that wonderful fight, just because of your foolish pride," Angemon muttered.
Virus delivers an elbow into Angemon X. The young warrior screams and flies right back.
"If you ask me, I'd say Matt is better off like this, but I'm sure Dimitri would disagree," Davis said to the unconscious Matt.
Angemon X quickly sits up. He stares all the way across the island, and they all give him the thumbs up. Angemon X nods in response to them. TK and Davis hop on the back of their digimon while carrying Matt and Gabumon in their arms. Stingmon picks up Ken. Then all three digimon go flying off from the island and away.
"Damn it. What's the use of such a father?" Ken muttered.
Virus walks over towards Angemon X, who instantly climbs up to his feet. Angemon X glares right over at Virus. His expression is full of nothing but pure rage. The waves crash on the shore behind Angemon X.
The three digimon flew away from the island with their respective partners and along with them were the unconscious bodies of both Gabumon and Matt.
Both Virus and Angemon X glare right at each other in total silence. Virus is the one who finally breaks the silence as he begins to speak.
"Now you can fight with me with no worries on your mind," Virus said.
Angemon X gasps.
"Besides, you've taken Yamato away already."
"You know that?"
"Of course. I also know that you tried to make me stay far away from Yamato and Gabumon."
"That's really unexpected. Why didn't you stop me?"
"But of course. I've completely lost interest in Yamato and his Metalla X fusion form."
Virus smiles and begins to circle Angemon X like a prowling predator ready to pounce on his unexpected prey.
"It's your power that interests me, Dimitri."
The two super powers stare at each other silently with the waves crashing all around them. Now they were ready to go at it for round two so to speak, but no telling who will make the next move. Angemon X hunched over a bit.
"You even know about this?"
With that said, Angemon X's aura quickly returns and it was glowing brightly around his pumped up body.
"I'm so thrilled. Now I have a chance to know how powerful my full evolution and complete power is like."
Angemon X screams out while he starts powering up his fusion form. Rocks and dust rise into the air around him. It was clear that his power was quickly increasing to whole new levels. He was truly an ascended fusion warrior ready to make a name for himself in the history of digital evolution.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at Azulongmon's training grounds, Leomon and the others were watching Dimitri's progress and were quite impressed at what they were seeing.
"Terribly powerful! He's excelled Super Metalla X by far. Is this what Tai called a power which exceeds the power of digital fusion," pondered Leomon.
"Yes but it is not amazing grace. But Dimitri has achieved a whole new level of digital fusion and he has exceeded. I just hope he has enough power to defeat Virus where Metalla X failed," Azulongmon said.
"He has to win, until Tai and Kari leave the training chamber, then Dimitri is our only hope that both worlds depend on. He has to defeat Virus or everything that we have will all be lost," X stated.
Yolei and Hawkmon stood there with nervous looks on their faces. They prayed that Dimitri beats Virus and saves the day.
****************************************************************************************
The winds that begin to pick up a bit because of Angemon X's power do nothing to calm the surrounding ocean. Black War Greymon leans back against a wall and decides to stick around to watch. Angemon X growls angrily towards Virus. As his ki rises higher and higher, he throws his head back and that growl turns into a scream of inner rage that was building up inside of him this entire time. His power continues to rise as the waves behind him begin to crash.
Virus watches the ever-powerful Angemon X silently. Dust flies up around Angemon X, and he continues screaming in order to get his adrenaline rushing in order for him to get into battle. His body begins to bulk up slowly during his power up. His chest and shoulders are expanding slightly. His arms, and then his legs, following suit. Lighting struck around the island. Rocks fly around the air, and the sea becomes quite choppy.
Black War Greymon could only gasp at the tremendous power increase that Dimitri was enduring and could only wonder what kind of limitations there are to his new ascended power.
"This ki of Dimitri's is very scary. I have never felt such a tremendous power from a single fighter."
Angemon X's power up shakes the ground around him and it causes a rather great side effect across the oceans. Earthquakes could easily be heard from a long distance away.
The power up even reaches all the way where Ken, Davis and TK were all flying over with their digimon. They easily sensed the power and gasped.
"What is it, Xveemon?" asked Davis.
"Angemon?"
"Its Dimitri. His fusion powers are tremendous! I can even feel that ki level from such a far off distance such as this," said Angemon.
"He's right. Man, I wish I had that kind of power, Davis," Xveemon remarked.
"Well, we're going to have to work our asses off in training but we better get you off of those extra snacks for a couple of months in order to do so."
They all look around them and the ravines at both sides start to crack on both walls.
"Ok, it looks like he can take Virus by himself without any help from us," Ken said.
"Agreed. Now lets go revive Matt and Gabumon," Stingmon said.
They all look back towards the island and notice a huge storm raging overhead.
"It's definitely Dimitri's ki level," said Xveemon, "Amazing. We can feel it, even at such a great distance. These fusion warriors after the mega level are so awesome!"
Lighting begins lashing out on the landscape as they look on from the far distance towards where the battle was soon going to take place.
Angemon X continues on screaming during his tremendous power increase in his ascended digital fusion level. The rocks and debris of which power ups are so fond continue to swirl around Angemon X.
***************************************************************************************
The great earthquakes from that one single power up even reached all the way over towards Odaiba and it easily caught everybody by surprise.
The other Digi-Destined felt the earthquakes and fell down as a result of it. Cody and Armadillomon struggle to keep them from falling.
"Its an earthquake at this time," asked Sora.
Joe and Gomamon duck under a counter to protect themselves from any falling debris from the ceiling. Izzy and Tentomon both fall down with a yelp. Sora and Biyomon go over and help them up to their feet.
"Thanks, Sora. Man, I wonder where those earthquakes are coming from," pondered Izzy.
"Its Dimitri. I can sense his ki level," said Tentomon, "It's growing out of proportion."
"He's facing Virus at his complete evolution and those two are really tearing it at each other," replied Biyomon.
"Wow. Dimitri has got to be the most powerful fighter at this moment then," said Cody.
"Very much so and I think Virus is going to realize that his power is nowhere near of Dimitri's," said Armadillomon.
***************************************************************************************
Far off away from the city of Odaiba and over towards the forest valley, Mimi looks up into the sky and notices a raging thunder storm and even felt the series of earthquakes.
"What's going on? The weather is out of control! Those weathermen are almost never accurate!" Mimi said.
"That's not just a thunderstorm. That's Dimitri. He's already ascended to the next level of digital fusion! He's now going to face Virus one on one," Palmon said.
"Dimitri?! Oh my god… Oh my god… I hope he's ok… My dear little boy…"
"Don't worry. I'm sure he can hold off his own. I can sense his power and it's tremendous. It's even higher than Metalla X's was before," replied Palmon, "So I'm sure Virus will have his hands full."
"Dimitri. Please be okay and return back to me safely," Mimi said to herself as she worried for her future son.
****************************************************************************************
Even at the training grounds of Azulongmon, Leomon and the others were able to feel the powerful presence of Dimitri and his power up to the next level of digital fusion.
Leomon stands with his arms crossed while Hawkmon and Yolei look over the viewing orb to witness the battle.
"It's such a strong ki level," Gennai said.
"It's Dimitri's ki," Leomon said.
"It's even stronger than Metalla X's! He'll beat Virus for sure," Hawkmon said.
"It's all on you're hands now, kid," X replied.
****************************************************************************************
Back on the island, Virus watches as Angemon X's ki level was still going up after each power increase. A smile forms across the face of the evil artificial as he begins to speak.
"What a extraordinary power. Yamato can't possibly match up with you."
"I'll never let an artificial demon like you go wild again. You see, it was your kind that destroyed my future! I won't let you go back to the hell of the tragic future of despair!"
Flashback
Several years ago in the future time from which Dimitri came from, there once stood the great city of Odaiba and it was almost completely devastated. The cause of this devastation was none other than the two artificials Jax and Sonja.
They both walk across the fallen piles of debris and make their march through the city in search of more innocent souls to destroy along the way.
"The artificials left a wake of devastation during their terrible campaign of the destruction of Earth. And it would take them a while to actually find the Digital World and destroy what was left of it.
A scream rings out across the city and a group of citizens began to run away from the artificials in panic. There was nowhere to run or even hide as long as these two were marching along. Nobody even stood a chance against their infinite powers.
A group of people being led by a man charged towards the direction of the artificials as they began to fire away at the artificials with fire power that could easily kill an army of ruthless terrorists but they were ineffective against these two heartless monsters.
"The Artificials! It the Artificials! The killers from hell have arrived!"
In response to those words, the artificials easily blasted away the group of armed soldiers and left nothing in their wake. Dead bodies were piled against one another as a sign of the many causalities caused by the destruction of the artificials.
"It's Sonja and Jax! Run for it! The artificial demons are here!"
But soon those cries would not save those innocent souls as Jax and Sonja easily blasted them away. The two artificials were every much enjoying their path of destruction. Jax sticks his arm out toward another building and blasts it, without even looking. Sonja does the same but with her left arm, without hitting Jax along the way.
A group of men stand back and shoot at the artificials, but of course, all to no avail. Jax smiles, and all of the bullets fall off of him. Sonja doesn't really smile, but the bullets fall right off of her too. She sticks her finger out and blasts the men away. They've cried can be heard but it rally didn't matter to the two artificials.
"Its so fun in destroying this city," Sonja said, "Its taken hundreds of years for the city to develop as the way it was now. But it only takes a second to take it all down."
"Yeah but mass destruction just really isn't that all fun anymore. Can there be anymore who can match up against us?"
He looks out at the remains of the ruined city. Thousands of lives were taken away as a result of this mass destruction. It was like hell on Earth for the future time.
"The artificials were too strong. Way too strong. All of the fighters that tried to stop them were killed."
Metalla X fights with Jax, but is quite futile for him to resist.
"Even my own father was quickly overwhelmed."
Jax throws in a blast right at Metalla X and the mighty fusion warrior falls down to the ground. He quickly sits up, as his body was all battered and bruised.
"Damn it!"
Jax hovers right over towards the fallen warrior, sticks his arm out and blasts him away.
"Even Leomon didn't even stand a chance…"
Leomon stands looking around his surroundings with his sword in tact. Suddenly, he spots Sonja hovering right above him. He flies up to attack, but Sonja quickly phases out. He looks around again. He finds her behind him, attacks but she dodges yet again. She gets right beside him, punches him straight into the midsection, and blasts him from the inside.
"Even Davis and Xveemon didn't stand a chance… They were wiped out as well."
Xveemon and Davis both run while watching their back. Jax quickly drops down right in front of them. They gasp and stop. Jax blasts the two of them and they screamed their lungs out as they were quickly blasted out of existence.
"One by one… each of the Chosen Children all fallen… Sora and Biyomon… Joe and Gomamon… Cody and Armadillomon… Kari and Gatomon… Just about everyone…"
Sonja's blast pierces right through the chests of both Yolei and Aquillamon.
"Yolei and Hawkmon…"
Jax blasts right through the torsos of both Ken and Stingmon.
"Even Ken and Stingmon suffered the same fate..."
Sonja blasts away both Izzy and Altur Kabuterimon out of nowhere.
"Even poor Izzy and Tentomon never stood a chance… The only children that remained were TK and myself. My mother, Mimi, was hidden away for good reason. It was up to the two of us to save our future world.
TK and Dimitri stood side-by-side looking to each other. Magna Angemon, belonging to TK, and Faith the Angemon, belonging to Dimitri, stood side by side in order to fight the two artificials.
"Oh look, its Takeru," Jax said.
"We won't let you get away with your vicious acts of terrorism, artificials. We tend to put an end to you once and for all," TK said.
Sonja tilts her head in amusement and points her finger over to them.
"You know that was the exact same thing that Leomon, Yamato and Miyako said right before we slaughtered them."
She forms a blast in her hand and throws it over towards the two. As she was able to throw it, the two digimon were able to push their partners away and dodge at the last minute. The two-angel digimon quickly powered up.
"Dimitri! Takeru! Go away! We'll handle this!" cried out Magna Angemon.
"All right! Be careful!" exclaimed TK.
The two angels flies straight at Sonja, but she easily dodges. She attacks and begins beating them up. The two boys watch on from a hiding spot underneath some building rubble. She flies forwards and kicks the two angels into a building. They both sit, while recovering from their injuries. Sonja then creates another blast, but Faith easily comes right at her and whips his rod right over her. But the rod only managed to cut off some of her own hair, but was sufficient to save both of his and Magna Angemon's lives, as well as the boys. She brushes back on her hair and growls.
"How dare you do that to my hair!"
Faith flies forward to her but she blasts him away. Magna Angemon flies in right at her and knocks her away. Jax retaliates by knocking him into another nearby building. Sonja gets up with a pissed off look on her face.
"Damn you! Die!"
She blasts the rubble in which Magna Angemon lies but he is able to fly up from above the artificials.
"Gate of Destiny!"
He forms the ever power gate and it starts to open up. It was now ready to suck the two artificials in but they easily blasted it away with ease. A decent-explosion goes up in the city, followed by a large cloud of smoke. The smoke and dust clear and the artificials climb out from above the fallen debris that fell on them. Both angels and Digi-Destined were gone and out of sight. They managed to get away.
"Damn it! Where is he?" asked Sonja.
The two boys and their digimon, who already de-evolved back to their Patamon forms, were watching them from under and beneath some slabs of concrete.
"We must search thoroughly and destroy everything in sight," Jax said.
They began blasting away random buildings to search for the two boys and their digimon.
"Takeru… What are we going to do now?" asked Dimitri.
"I don't know but we can't beat them with just our digimon alone."
"Grrr, I hate artificials. I hate them."
"Oh Taichi, if you only were alive and were not effected by the D-Virus, you would have definitely saved us," TK thought, "If only I were as brave as you and my brother."
"So what now, Takeru?" Dimitri asked.
The artificials look at the work they've done to the city. It was in complete shambles and mass destruction in just a matter of moments.
"From then on, we continued to fight with the artificials. Afterward, Takeru and Magna Angemon were killed several years later. I became the only fighter who survived. Only two artificials, and they completely turn our future into total hell. My mother was able to find a dimensional time traveler device from a devastated company and she brought it to me as a gift. I accepted and I would swear to go back to the past to change the turn of events that could very well end up a total hell like my future world."
End of Flashback
Virus smiles right over towards Angemon X.
"You see. That's why I'm going to defeat you. Virus, I swear that I won't let you destroy the future again!"
Angemon X's ki begins to raise yet again, goign even higher this time around. Virus began to read his ki level.
"That's good, Dimitri. Keep it up. Show me your great power. Maybe I will get a challenge from you after all."
Angemon X gasped by the artificial's words.
"I'm sure Datamon would be glad to see your power as well. Because, I can finally find someone for me to test the power of my full evolution."
Virus begins to laugh and starts to recall his birth from another future time that he came from.
"Soon I will make Datamon's dream of revenge a reality and the mass destruction of both the real world and the Digital World. Ha. Ha."
Flashback
Back within another future time, there laid a dark chamber under the laboratory of Datamon. This was the underground bunker that contained the developing chamber of Virus. Datamon's computer began to build up the development of Virus himself. A small lump of organic material floats in the middle of the tank. The computer makes different calculations. The lump begins to grow and the computer begins to speak, the voice belonged to a recording from none other than Datamon himself.
"Virus… I am Master Datamon. You are a computer-generated artificial…"
As he speaks, images of several of the strongest digital warriors began to appear on the screen. Those including of War Greymon, Metal Garurumon, Leomon, Burizalor and many others.
"You were made from the cells, DNA and data gathered from the greatest fighters in two worlds. I have a high hope in you. If you're completely, you will have the power much like the devil, an invincible one. You'll become the most powerful artificial."
Overtime, Virus begins to grow inside the tank and he finally grows too big. The tank cracks and eventually breaks open. The larva of Virus begins to crawl through.
"Virus, if you absorb the energy of living or digital bodies, you can continue to grow stronger. Then when you absorb both Jax and Sonja, you will reach your full evolution. You will become the unbeatable artificial."
Suddenly, a part of Datamon's laboratory basement explodes. Virus begins to crawl away onto the outside surface. Eventually, he breaks free of his larvae shell. It splits down the middle, and a bright line shines out of it. The original Virus emerges from it. But what he finds is a planet completely left in ruins.
He happens to find some living people, of course. Screams are eventually heard; nothing was left of the people. Not even their clothing was left. Virus walks on. Suddenly, he looks around and is surrounded by a group of people.
"What is this monster," a man cried out.
One man attacks Virus in the back of the head with a huge sledgehammer. But then the sledge shatters and the man is left with a frightened look on his face. Virus looks back at the man. The man stares in amazement at the sledge handle and screams. Virus throws him into the air with his tail.
"Don't be scared! Stop that monster," yelled out an old man.
They all began to fire machine guns over at Virus. Of course, none of it does any good. Virus begins to glow, and then an explosion of ki expands out from him. The men scream as they're thrown back. The blast dies down and Virus stands there smiling.
"Run! Get the hell out of here," yelled the old man.
Virus eventually catches them with his tail as they go and Virus completely swallows them with the use of his tail and his mouth, much like a boa constrictor feeds on its helpless prey. Virus grins as he finishes swallowing up the last person.
"Datamon's study was perfect. Made from the cells of the greatest fighters. I am invincible. I tried so hard to find artificials Sonja and Jax, but all in vain."
A city lies in ruins, with dead bodies layed about and Virus sucks the dying souls left about from the destruction of the artificials earlier ago.
End of Flashback
Lighting strikes all around Virus and Angemon X. They faced each other off as they finished off both sides of their storied pasts.
"When I came out of my underground chamber, both artificials Jax and Sonja were already gone. It seems that you have destroyed them.
Virus cackled and Angemon X stared right at him silently.
"But thanks to a time dimensional pod I hijacked, which took me back into the past, I've found both artificials Jax and Sonja in this timeline and I've reached my full evolution. My dream has finally come true."
He laughs yet again, but Angemon X simply glares right at him. Virus smiled right back and raises his fist just a few inches.
"I'm quite very anxious to try out the full power of my fully evolved body."
Virus quickly develops an aura and begins to raises his ki level. He then again laughs.
"Virus, just as you wish, but first, let me show you the real power of the digital fusion."
Angemon X begins to scream, and the ground begins to break up under him as his ki goes up again. Large rocks begin to rise while Virus smiles. Angemon X physically grows as his muscles completely bulk up.
[Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle Theme" plays]
Angemon X leaps forward and attacks Virus. Virus catches himself in the air and looks up. Virus quickly phases out, reappears higher up and looks down yet again. Angemon X appears right in front of Virus and begins throwing several ki-blasts. The cloud of dust, of course, expands around Virus until it completely fills the entire portion of the sky. Angemon X finishes his attack and watches as the smoke begins to clear away. He then gasps in shock.
"What?! No way in hell!"
Virus was gone and out of sight after the smoke cleared away. Virus appears right behind him and kicks Angemon X in the back, but Angemon X catches himself in the air and appears right behind Virus. He kicks Virus in the back, then flies down and stops in front of Virus, punching him in the head when Virus gets there. Virus falls back, but then attacks and they go into a few seconds of the hit, block and dodge routine once again. They jump back a few meters across from each other when they finish.
"They're so powerful," replied Black War Greymon, "I can't even see their movements.
Virus laughs and goes for his next attack.
"I'm going to kill you! I won't let you artificial demons carry out your evil deeds on both worlds," cried out Angemon X.
Angemon X's aura returns, and then so does Virus'. Angemon X flies forward, but Virus catches his fist. They lock arms, neither appearing to be any stronger than the other. Electrical currents ran over both of their bodies and flow straight into their hands, which began to glow with ki. Lighting strikes the island and the ground starts to split apart. Angemon X screams and Virus kicks him away. Angemon X flies back, but stops himself. He flies straight back up and hits Virus in the face. They go into another frenzy, with shockwaves running out from points of impact. This frenzy is now dominated by Angemon X, and when he's had enough, he lets Virus fall a bit and throws a ki-blast right at him. Virus rides the ki-blast into a nearby cliff side.
Virus sits up and Angemon X hovers right above him with his arms crossed. Virus begins to laugh with his eyes shut.
[Perfect Cell's English Dub theme plays]
"Impressive. You are definitely a powerful force to reckon with. You definitely have power on your side after all. You matched me at every possible way, Dimitri."
Angemon X glares right at him with anger in his eyes.
"But you still have no chance in defeating me…"
Virus opens his eyes and smiles. Angemon X lands over towards Virus and confronts him.
"That's complete rubbish! What makes you think that you even stand a chance against me! Just listen to yourself!"
"Oh we shall we, Dimitri. Ha. Ha."
Virus laughs once again and the two stare right at each other down as they prepare to continue their fight.
The two fighters from the future prepare to go for another round, but what is Virus hiding? What does he sense from Dimitri that is now making him quite cool and confident at the moment? You will just have to find out the answers on the next episode of Digimon Fusion!

Tai: Yo, it's me, Tai! Dimitri is taking to Virus, but that jerk has discovered a weakness in Dimitri's form.
Angemon X: Why am I unable to hit you?!
Virus: Don't you realize it by now? You're bulky body slows your speed and I've been using all of my speed.
Tai: Our Omega X form cannot maintain a bulky, muscular body. It will only hold us back.
Kari: I get it. You want us to up our speed instead of our strength.
Virus: You're a disappointment just like you're father, Dimitri. Now, I have a proposition. If I were to give you more time, would be ready?
Dimitri: Why ask?
Virus: Because I will be throwing a competition known as the War Games.
Metalla X: War Games?!
Yolei: Just what is he talking about, Leomon?
Leomon: Virus is planning something… He's up to no good.
Davis: Next time on Digimon Fusion Zero Two, episode thirty-four!

Coral: Dude, that's some crazy shit. Their future world is screwed up!
Kara: You have seen ours. It was worse.
Max: Believe the kid. It was worse. The Warlord put us through hell.
SSJ4T: I don't know the artificials were pretty destructive in their own right.
Warlord: But not as destructive as I was. I killed their families.
Jax: Don't be too sure. You're weaker than myself and my sister.
Warlord: You want to make something of it, bitch?!
Jax: No, you're the bitch! You had trouble with ascendants, but we handled fusion warriors with ease.
Warlord: You're point?
Max: Ok you guys proved your point.
Coral: I don't know what to say, but both future worlds were fucked up.
SSJ4T: If you want to know more about the Warlord or Max for that matter, I'd suggest you go read Max Acorn's D3 Sagas. I earned his permission to use his characters in my fics. They're good fics.

Dimitri's Weakness Exploited! Virus Announces a War Games Competition?!
The battle between the two warriors from the future rages on, as Angemon X attempts to save the present time and the world from the evil threat known as Virus. It was either the destruction of two worlds or the protection of two worlds. The chips were down and the balls were in their court. One would make the deciding factor and it looked as though Angemon X was beating Virus.
However, it only seemed that way for a short while. Punches and kicks galore! Only one can emerge as a winner out of this battle. And who would it be?
Back on the island, Angemon X leaps forwards and towards Virus. Virus stands and ready to counter his adversary's attacks. Somehow and someway, Virus was managing his own and maneuvering away from Angemon X's furious punches. Virus was definitely gaining an upper hand out of nowhere and there was obviously something that was making him so confident at the moment. But what could it be?
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at the training grounds of Azulongmon, the group watched the battle occur through one of Azulongmon's viewing orbs. X, Gennai and Leomon couldn't believe at what they were seeing before them. It was a huge and momentous clash of the titans. It's something not even seen in the Digital World. Azulongmon was surprised at the outcome and couldn't believe that such two fighters would have reached new and advanced forms of power.
"He's so strong! He's even stronger than Virus this time," Leomon said.
"What? Who? Tell us, Leomon. Don't keep everything to yourself," Yolei demanded.
"Dimitri by a long shot and he's taking it to Virus like no other," exclaimed Gennai.
"Dimitri? Great! Looks like we'll be winning this battle after all," Yolei cheered.
"I'm not too sure if I agree with you guys," X thought. "There is something seriously wrong with this picture. Why isn't Dimitri damaging Virus?"
****************************************************************************************
Within the chamber room, the year of digimon training was just about up and the two siblings were just about ready to go but Agumon and Gatomon had previously insisted that they stay and finish up the last remaining portions of the year to conclude the training by really going at one another.
Kari and Gatomon faced each other as they formed into a beam of light and connected with one another within seconds. In their place stood Celesta X, who looked ready to go. She swiftly leaps forward while attacking in the air. Tai and Agumon simply watched on with their progress.
"Wow! In such a short amount of time, they're really taking it a lot further than we expected," Tai said.
"I'll say but I say we give them a thing of two. I'm definitely in the mood to fight," replied Agumon.
Celesta flies straight up and looks right down at Tai and Agumon. A smirk was forming across her face.
"All they've been doing is sitting there this whole time. I guess surpassing the level of digital fusion is a lot more difficult than I ever imagined,"Kari said in Celesta's thoughts.
She then continues her training while punching and kicking in the air around her. Finally, she lands and faces in front of the two. They quickly de-evolved back to their separate entities, Kari and Gatomon. They quickly hunch forward and breathe quite heavily. With all of that training really worn them out. They then look forward towards Agumon and Tai.
"Kari. Gatomon. We want you two to watch us," said Agumon.
Tai and his little digimon friend touched each other's fingers as they soon transformed into a beam of orange light. They then fused together to become Omega X. He quickly powers up and screams heavily. As they increased their power, Omega X quickly bulks up which catches both Kari and Gatomon by surprise. They then flew right over towards them.
"Tai! Agumon! That was great! Man you look practically unbeatable!" exclaimed Kari.
"I'll say! Those muscles make you look like a bodybuilder," Gatomon remarked.
"You two managed to surpass the level of digital fusion! You did it," Kari said.
"We can go a lot further than this if we wanted to. Just watch," Omega X said.
"What?"
Omega X screams out and his body starts to tremble with power. And within seconds, his muscles starts to bulge out and his body became much more massive than ever. He was practically a muscle-bond monster.
"Wow! No way! You're not past the digital fusion level! You're way past it! Your unbeatable now!" exclaimed Kari, "I don't think even Virus stands a chance against you now Wait till he gets a load of you."
Omega X looks down at his bulky body and then his smirk turns into a frown.
"No. There seems to be a weakness in this form,"Tai thought. "I really need to tell Kari about this"
***************************************************************************************
[Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle Theme" plays]
Back on the battlefield on the island, Angemon X quickly rushes right at Virus, as they continued their one on one battle. But Virus was there to easily block his punches. Angemon X looks back right at him, continues his attack but then continues to miss after each punch being thrown at his adversary. He flies all over the place in order to nail Virus at least once. Once was all he needed.
But Virus manages to maneuver away from Angemon X's fists of fury. Something was holding back Angemon X and he had no idea of what it could be. Angemon X goes for an overhead smash but Virus quickly phases out of the way. Angemon X only manages to smash the ground instead.
"Damn it!"
Virus looks down at Angemon X and lands to where he was standing. The evil artificial began to laugh hysterically.
****************************************************************************************
"Your undefeatable!" exclaimed Gatomon, "Not even Virus stands a chance against you!"
Suddenly, Omega X frowns, shuts his eyes and nods his head. This caught Kari and Gatomon by surprise as their eyes widened.
""What?" asked Gatomon.
"Am I missing something here?" Kari meant to ask.
"With these enlarged and bulky muscles, we maybe strong but we are super slow," explained Omega X, "I know we look unbeatable but this size really slows us down and it takes more than just power to defeat your opponent. Something Azulongmon and Gennai were able to teach us. You need to have speed and we really don't want anything to slow us down."
With that said, Omega X quickly powers down and de-evolves back to his two separate entities, Tai and Agumon. They turned to face Kari and Gatomon.
"You see, no matter how strong we are, if we can't even lay one hit on Virus, then we're toast," Agumon said.
"Besides we really waste a lot of energy from all of those transformations," explained Tai, "A regular fusion warrior has a better balance between speed and power."
"Oh," said Gatomon.
"Now we understand completely," replied Kari.
"Ok. From now on, all the time, we'll remain in our fusion forms and we'll get used to it until this weakens our normal state. I'll start by reliving myself of stress and nervousness we feel when during our fusion states. Then we'll start with the most basic of training. It may seem like a waste of time and believe me, it is and I don't like to remain in this form for life, but its the only best way to go," said Tai.
"Okay! We'll I guess I'll have to get used to being a grown woman then," said Kari, "Right Gatomon?"
"And I guess I'll have t get used to being in human form for a short while," Gatomon remarked, "Time to throw away my balls of yarn and cat nip."
"Oh, poor you."
****************************************************************************************
Back on the island, Angemon X stood there with a look of shock on his face and his eyes all widened. He couldn't even get one good hit in on Virus and there was no way he can win a battle like that. He looked at the ground and noticed something cave in. It was his own fist and barely was able to nail Virus but due to his increased speed, he wasn't able to catch the evil artificial in time.
"What the hell?! I can't believe this! I can't even land one single punch!"
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
"Heh. You're just an amateur. As I should have known," Virus remarked, "I didn't think you were so ignorant, Dimitri. Saying you were going to show me all of the strength that you had, but you've just managed to change your form that gave you more brute force. So what, you popped up your little muscles. I can do that too if I wanted to."
As soon as he said that, his body quickly started to bulk up into massive size and the ground around him started to shatter away. Bolts of electricity emitted throughout his body as he quickly stomps the ground below him and increases his power along with it. Angemon X could only look on with a shocked look on his face. He could hardly believe that Virus was able to increase his power in such a single power increase.
Virus continues powering up as a smile forms across his face. He then begins to speak up to catch his adversary's attention.
"A change like this is quite easy to attain."
Angemon X gasps at how little effort Virus was able to put into one single power transformation that he had just performed. The monster finished up his bulk-up transformation and continues smiling up at Angemon X.
"You won't get much out of a transformation such as this. You are nothing but a pitiful fool."
Virus quickly powers down and then returns to his normal state. He crosses his arms and nods with disappointment towards Angemon X. Angemon X looks back and then he realizes what he has done. He quickly gasps and doubts himself.
"I understand now! That's why young father didn't undergo this tremendous power up. He could have but he knew what would have happened! He knew about its limits! Just like you said, I'm nothing but a pitiful fool!"
Angemon X lands onto the ground as he powers down from his fusion form and he then splits into his two separate entities, Dimitri and Faith. They both land down across Virus and look down in total shame of what they have done. They weren't even willing to look at Virus and Dimitri speaks up.
"We've lost our will to fight. We've failed. You can now kill us."
Virus just stares right at him with his arms crossed. He quickly smiles and speaks up.
"Oh, I think I will."
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere on another island just away from the big fight, TK, Ken and Davis all gathered around the fallen bodies of Matt and Gabumon. Xveemon, Stingmon and Angemon all stood alert just in case Virus decides to show up.
TK stands over his fallen brother and sighs. He couldn't believe that his own brother would underestimate Virus' abilities and jump right into the action like that. He knew that wasn't the way to fight.
"Ok guys. We're going to have to use the power of our D-3s to revive them," TK said, "Lets do this.
Ken and Davis nodded over towards him and held out their D-3s. TK held his out and watched as a beam of light started to flow over the two fallen bodies. Davis felt the power of his D-3 give the strength Gabumon and Matt needed. Ken did the same thing and wasn't sure if this was such a good idea.
"TK. I just hope you know what you are doing," Ken said to himself.
Suddenly the three digimon looked over towards the direction of the island and they all growled angrily as if something bad just had happened. The children took notice of this and began to question them.
"Xveemon, what's wrong?"
"Stingmon? Did something just happen?"
"Who just won the battle, Angemon?"
"Its what we feared," replied Stingmon, "The battle is indeed over but I'm not quite sure who won."
"All I can say is that Dimitri's power has just gotten smaller all of a sudden," said Angemon.
"This certainly isn't good news. Not good at all. Virus' ki level is just as big as ever! His power isn't going down anytime soon," Xveemon replied.
"Does that mean that Dimitri has been defeated?" asked Davis.
"This is horrible," said Ken, "He even said that he would win!"
"Damn that Virus! He must have exploited something in Dimitri to get him to be like this," exclaimed TK.
Suddenly, Matt and Gabumon were opening their eyes and slowly raising to her feet. TK and the others took notice of this and went over towards them.
****************************************************************************************
Back on the island, Virus holds out his own hand right in front of both Dimitri and Faith. He was ready to blast them away but then he decided to speak to them.
"I'm very disappointed in you and your young father. I was hoping for a much better challenge and hoping that you two would've entertained me more."
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back over at the training grounds of the eastern guardian, Leomon and the others looked on through the viewing orb. All, except Yolei and Hawkmon, couldn't believe at what is just happening. The turn of events caught them by surprise.
"Well, what happened? It's all quiet all of a sudden. Tell us who won?" asked Yolei.
"It's… It's over," exclaimed Leomon.
"What you mean that Dimitri won?" asked Hawkmon.
"Yay! Yay! Yay! I knew he could do it!" cheered Yolei.
"No. He means that Virus has beaten Dimitri," replied X.
"Huh?! What?! How could this be?!" Yolei asked frantically, "This is just terrible!"
"Virus' final form is incredible… It's very unearthly and not even you Digi-Destined have a chance at stopping him!" exclaimed Azulongmon.
Yolei and Hawkmon looked up at the guardian with shocked looks on their faces.
****************************************************************************************
Back on the island, Virus has yet to blow away Dimitri and Faith in order to complete his task. But something was coming up in his mind as if something was holding back.
"Now what should I do with you two? Shall I kill you or not? Hmmm, decisions. Decisions. No, I think I could pass on that one. There's actually one question I'd like to ask you. Even though, I was victorious in this battle, both you and Yamato have powered up greatly in your digital fusion forms in such a short amount of time. How did you do it?"
Dimitri stood there looking down and not answering the artificial's question. He didn't even bother looking towards Virus and answering his simple little question.
"No answer, I see. I'll change the question, then. If you had more time, could you get even stronger?"
Dimitri is then quickly caught by surprise by his question, but still won't answer. He looked straight on with the evil artificial and they looked towards one another.
"Well? I'm waiting."
"How would we know? I'd have to try. Why do you ask?" Faith asked.
"Hmmm. So it's possible… Ok now next question. What are Taichi and War Greymon doing? Why hasn't Omega X shown himself to me?"
"For your information, they've training just to defeat you! He's going to fight you tomorrow! Mark my words! Omega X will be the one that defeats you! It'll be a no contest!"
"Ah! Good answer! Well then… Let's have a competition!"
"A… A… competition?" asked Dimitri.
****************************************************************************************
Leomon, X, Gennai and Azulongmon looked on through their viewing orb and couldn't believe what they had just heard from Virus about a competition of some sorts.
"A competition? What in the hell is Virus thinking?" pondered Leomon.
"Hey! What's going on? Is Dimitri alright?" asked Yolei.
"Yeah, for now. Virus is planning on having a competition of some sorts," said Gennai.
"A competition? What kind of competition?" Hawkmon asked.
"We aren't sure, but Virus is up to no good," said Azulongmon.
"Is he planning on what I think he's planning?" X pondered. "If I'm right, then we're in deep shit."
****************************************************************************************
Back on the island, Virus begins to ramble on about the so-called competition that he had just mentioned. A look of shock came over the faces of both Faith and Dimitri.
"This competition will be held in ten days on the date of December 31st, quite appropriate since it will be the new years and what a proper way to end an old year and begin the dawning of a new one! So just think, I'm doing you a favor. Get stronger and entertain me."
"What in the world are you talking about?" asked Dimitri.
"You may not know this, but there was a competition back in the early days of the Digital World's birth. It's a competition between the strongest of all digital beings. Just like the days of prehistoric times, there were species that perished while others moved on to claim their top status as the dominant species. Those days have ended for unknown reasons but now I shall revive it. However, this time there is just one opponent and that will be myself. We'll fight one on one. And if I win, I'll fight the next person after you. I don't care how many of you there really are. Gather as much as you can, and you just may need through sheer numbers. I'll let you know the place soon enough. Maybe through a TV broadcast. That way I can let everyone know in your world and then I shall make my presence felt in the Digital World, where I shall explain to them about my plans in the next ten days."
"What are you saying?" Faith asked.
"Looks like I won't be bored anymore. You'd better bring everything that you got and beg to the four Holy Beasts to give you all the power that you can harness."
Virus then turns around and looks to be ready to leave the island and off to announce his plans of the competition. But Dimitri and Faith quickly run up towards him and quickly spoke up.
"Wait! Why are you doing?! What is your ultimate goal? I don't understand this motive at all! Virus, I know how you artificials like to play these little games. You're just planning on taking over both worlds!"
"I'm doing this just to contest my strength and terrorize both worlds and it will help build up my power. I don't have an ultimate goal, nor am I interested in conquest. There's no point in killing Omega X, though that's why I was created. Perhaps my goal them… is to plainly enjoy myself. I want to see the fear on both digimon's and people's faces!"
With that said, Dimitri and Faith both looked at Virus with looks of panic on their faces. Virus looks lover to them and smiles.
"That's right! Just like that! That's the look of fear!"
Virus turns around, salutes to them and sets off.
"Until then…"
The artificial spreads out his wings and then sets off into the skies where he would look for the perfect location for the ultimate battle to take place. He flies off into the sunset, leaving both Dimitri and Faith in bewilderment.
Waves crash on the shore of the island. Dimitri stands alone with Faith flying by his side, with wind blowing all around them. They then remember at what Virus had just told them just a while ago.
"The first purpose, of course, is to see the faces of both humans and digimon alike filled with fear… filled with fear… filled with fear… fear… fear… fear. That's right! That's the look!"
Suddenly, Dimitri shakes those thoughts out of his head and he lets out an angry cry out of nowhere. He and Faith quickly fuse right back to being Angemon X out of the inner anger building up inside of them.
"Damn it!"
Rock ledges are then all leveled all around him. Golden light penetrates through the clouds from above and shines brightly through the sky beyond, before soon fading away. The rocks and dust settle along after that. Angemon X falls to his knees, still in their fusion form, breathing quite heavily.
Metal Garurumon, Xveemon, Stingmon and Angemon appear from above the island just in time along with their human partners. They all looked down at Angemon X and could have only feared for the worst to come.
"Hmmm? Hey look at that!" exclaimed Xveemon.
The children and their digimon all looked down to see Angemon X on his knees and finishing up his power up out of anger. They could only make a good assumption that Virus defeated him during the battle. They all land to where he was kneeling.
"Good. It's great to know that you're alright," said TK, "But what's the matter?"
"Where's Virus?" asked Ken.
Without a word, Matt lands with Metal Garurumon dropping him off. Matt looks down at Angemon X with an angry look.
"Huh? Matt? What do you think your doing?" asked Davis.
Angemon X quickly powers down and splits up into his two separate entities, Dimitri and Faith, once again after seeing Matt and Metal Garurumon. The others look on between the father and the son. They were anticipating for a major argument to occur between the two after what had just transpired a while ago during the fight against Virus.
"This could get ugly," Davis said to himself.
Without even facing Dimitri, Matt speaks to him with his back now turned.
"What has happened to Virus?"
Dimitri's eyes narrow and he grabs a handful of dirt from the ground.
"We couldn't beat him…"
TK walks over towards Dimitri and kneels next to him.
"What happened?"
Dimitri is silent for the moment. Matt turns his head slightly, but doesn't move far enough around to be able to look at Dimitri.
"I'm sorry. There's nothing that we could have done."
"Ha. Ha. Of course, you can't possibly have beaten Virus, or his full evolution," replied Matt.
"No! It's possible! Now Dimitri has really excelled…" Davis exclaimed but was soon cut off by Dimitri.
Dimitri jumps up to his feet and nods his head. Davis turns around over to Dimitri and lowers his head. Dimitri nods over to him and makes a motion of 'zip your mouth'. Davis nods in response. Matt looks over towards Davis but really doesn't care to what he has to say.
****************************************************************************************
Back at the eastern guardian's training grounds, Leomon and the others look on from the viewing orb. They watched as Matt and the others confronted Dimitri. Leomon looks on growling with anger.
"C'mon! Lets go save Dimitri! Hawkmon, lets get ready to fuse now…"
But soon Yolei was soon cut off by Leomon's growl and she stood completely still and not making any sudden movements.
"Relax, Yolei. He's not dead. He's very much alive along with Matt and the others," Leomon replied.
"Whew. Ken, Dimitri and the others are still alive! Yay!" exclaimed Yolei.
"But now we have to worry more about Virus," Hawkmon replied.
"But why didn't Virus just kill Dimitri? It just doesn't make sense," Gennai said, "But I'm sure glad that he's still alive. But what does Virus have in planned with this competition?"
"Virus is so powerful… Dimitri was once stronger than him. But what went wrong," pondered X.
Leomon looked over towards X and Gennai with a determined look on his face. It looked as though he had a plan in mind. He turns his attention over to Azulongmon.
"Azulongmon, I shall be the next to enter the training chamber after Taichi and Hikari," said Leomon.
"Very well then. I shall make it official to the others," the powerful eastern guardian said.
The others look on to see electricity flowing through the hands of Leomon, who was more than ready to get himself involved in the battle and the upcoming competition.
****************************************************************************************
Back on the island site, Dimitri had let everyone know about the up and coming competition that Virus has in planned in the next ten days. They could only listen and gasp in shock at the turn of events.
"What? Are you really sure about this?" asked Ken.
"A competition? What kind of competition?" Angemon asked.
Dimitri nods in agreement with the two.
"He said he's going to have one," said Dimitri.
Matt listens on and could only clench his fists angrily with Metal Garurumon looking on at him with a concerned look on his face.
"Damn it! He wants to use us for his little game and he further wants to humiliate me!"
"But who's going to take part?" asked Davis, "Neither you or Matt can possibly match up to him now."
Dimitri walks away and stares out towards the oceans with a deep thought in his mind. He could only remember at what Virus had told him just a while ago. He then suddenly turns around.
"That does it! Faith and myself are going back into the training chamber," replied Dimitri.
"It's not necessary for you or Tai. I'll just go into the chamber for another day with Gabumon," said Matt.
Matt clenches his fist angrily and smashes it into the ground. Suddenly another voice speaks out from out of nowhere.
"And I will participate as well," replied the voice.
Davis and the others all look back to see none other than Black War Greymon limping over towards them. Half of his face was torn away and he was holding his injured right arm. The dark mega could even barely stand up.
"I shall join the contest as well," replied Black War Greymon.
"Black War Greymon! It's you!" exclaimed Davis, "Man you looked pretty beaten up!"
"We'll help you," said Xveemon.
"Please take me to refuge. Somewhere where I can be hidden away and repaired," Black War Greymon said.
"What?! Why should we help you?!" Dimitri angrily snapped at the dark mega.
Matt and Metal Garurumon watches the others converse.
"Yes. I hope somebody has enough knowledge as to repairing my artificial body."
"No way! You're an artificial! You're a plague to both worlds! You just want to be fixed up just to kill Tai!" exclaimed Dimitri.
Black War Greymon stops. But then, Davis and Xveemon walk right up over towards the towering giant. They look up right up at him. Black War Greymon stares right down at them. Dimitri stares right at him with his eyes full of hatred. Matt only looks on with minor interest. Davis walks right up to Black War Greymon, only inspires a short gasp from Dimitri. Davis looks right up and then his expression softens. He and Xveemon put their arms around Black War Greymon as if they were helping him. And they were helping the dark mega to his feet.
"Sure. You can count on us big guy," Davis said.
"We'll take you on over there," replied Xveemon.
The two individual's comments caught both Black War Greymon and Dimitri by surprise.
"Davis! Xveemon! No! Why are doing this?!" exclaimed Dimitri.
"Hey it's ok, Dimitri. He's not bad after all," said Davis.
"But…"
"The two artificials that were swallowed up by Virus weren't bad either. They're different from the artificials in your future time. It's a matter of alternate dimensions," said Xveemon.
"Besides we're going to need all of the help that we're going to get," TK said.
Xveemon and Davis hoist the mighty mega up onto his feet.
"Alright, we're going to get you the help that you need," said Xveemon.
"Thank you…" Black War Greymon said.
Dimitri is obviously angry at what he's seeing, but he doesn't argue. He couldn't believe that he has to side with an artificial but then again, what Xveemon said was true. These artificials are much different than the ones from Dimitri's future time period.
"C'mon out, Tai! It's useless to practice during all of this time! Just let me into the room again! Then, once we're finished, then Metalla X will show Virus a thing or two about really power! Virus won't be so proud anymore," Matt said to himself.
****************************************************************************************
[Killer Instinct Jago's theme "Do It Now!" plays]
Back inside the training room, the whole white room goes red all of a sudden. Another huge practice bout was taking place between Celesta X and Omega X.
Out of nowhere, a drop of sweat hits the ground and it quickly evaporates due to the amount of heat in the room.
Omega X stands in the middle of the training ground in amidst the heat and the flames in total silence. He closes his eyes as if he were detecting the ki level around his surroundings, this way he could track the location of none other than Celesta X.
"Hi-ya!"
Suddenly, Celesta X comes flying out and screaming. She goes leaping forwards to Omega X and attacking. They both quickly vanish, and then reappear fighting with one another, every few seconds in different spots around the entire room. Omega X goes flying away, and then straight back in, but Celesta X manages to catch his fist head on. They vanish yet again, then reappear and begin fighting once more. Forearms go clashing with one another and flames spring up. Punches and kicks galore plus with many blocks and dodges not to mention many flying maneuvers. Then they start again with the usual routine all over. They both began flying up, but don't start again as soon as they have been previously.
Omega X lands and shoots out several ki-blasts up at Celesta X, as he manages to dodge them as he flies in. Celesta X throws a blast of her own to counter, and when the two blasts collide, a massive explosion results. The entire room glows blue and white for several seconds. As soon as the lights faded away, Tai walks back into the bedroom with his sleeping sister on his back. He lays Kari in one of the beds and pulls the blankets over her. She looked pretty beaten up from all of the training in her fusion form.
Agumon places Gatomon onto the top of the bed alongside with Kari. Kari clutches at the blanket and speaks in her sleep.
"I won't lose. We won't lose…"
Tai and Agumon chuckle as they close the curtains and start to walk away.
"I'm sorry for holding you back, Tai."
Tai turns to find his sister wide-awake. She looks on over towards him.
"I didn't know that…"
Tai kneels down beside Kari and rubs her head.
"I don't think TK wants to see you doubting yourself now. He wants you as a much stronger person and he really would like to see your new fusion form."
"Well at least somebody out there is still thinking about me as well…"
Tai nods and walks away to let his sister sleep. He kneels alongside the steps and thinks about everything that had just occurred during this full year of digimon fusion training.
****************************************************************************************
Back at Odaiba, Sora and Biyomon were out in search of anybody coming back from the battle. She looks up and sees none other than Xveemon, Stingmon, Metal Garurumon, Angemon and the others. She ran up to them to greet them back.
She looks over towards Matt and Dimitri.
"Matt! It's great to see you guys again! It's been a long time," Sora said.
"Yeah, you look pretty buffed up, Dimitri."
"I agree, Biyomon. Man, you and Matt sure have been working pretty hard in that training chamber," Sora remarked.
"Thanks," Dimitri said.
"Hey Sora! Sorry to butt into this conversation but is Izzy here?" asked Davis.
"We're definitely going to need his help here," Xveemon said.
Sora looks up right at Black War Greymon and gasps in shock. She couldn't believe that she was looking right up close at an artificial.
"It's him! Why did you have to bring Black War Greymon here?" asked Sora.
"He really needs help at the moment, Sora. He had his ass kicked pretty hard and I would appreciate it if somebody come out and help him," said Davis.
"Don't worry. You can leave everything to me," said Izzy.
They all looked up to see Izzy walking down the stairs and walking right up to Black War Greymon. Tentomon came flying by and began examining Izzy.
"Are you sure you want to go along with repairing him, Izzy?" asked Tentomon.
"I'm very sure. Black War Greymon will certainly be on our side, despite being an artificial. He hasn't really attacked anyone except Virus."
"Not to mention us at one time!" said Dimitri.
"Hey, he was only defending his buddies," replied Davis, "So will you help him?"
"Sure, let's just take him somewhere safe and in an area not fully inhabited by people," Izzy said.
"Like where?" asked Xveemon, "This city is pretty crowded and even we give the crowd the willies. They don't see overgrown lizards everyday."
"In that empty garage over on the other side of the street. Nobody uses it, and we can certainly fit a giant like Black War Greymon in there. It's a piece of cake really," said Izzy.
"Thank you. You don't know how grateful this is to me," Black War Greymon said.
"Not a problem."
"So where's Yolei?" asked Sora.
Suddenly, they heard a cry from above and they all looked up to see Aquillamon flying down towards them with Yolei waving out.
"Hey guys! You're not going to forget about me, aren't you?!" cried out Yolei.
"Yolei! Welcome back!" shouted Ken.
"Hey! I knew you guys would come back here, so I decided to lend a hand," Yolei said, "Izzy, I just overheard your conversation and I think I'll be more than happy to lend you a hand."
"And I'll help you as well," Ken replied.
"That's good to know. I'm really going to need your help," said Izzy, "I appreciate it."
Yolei hops down onto the ground and does a peace sign.
"It's not a problem. Just leave to Ken and myself!" exclaimed the young girl.
"She maybe hyper but she's a reliable friend," Ken said to himself.
"Let's get started then," said Izzy.
"Alright," they said in unison.
"So, are Tai and Kari still in training?" asked Sora.
They all nodded in agreement and Sora could only sigh. She only hoped for the two of them to return so that the whole Digi-Destined group could regroup for the next ten days. Mimi and Michael still haven't returned but they left a message letting them know that they will return later in the evening.
***************************************************************************************
Just an hour later, the group all gathered at the old garage repair house as they began to operate upon Black War Greymon's battered body.
Izzy, Ken and Yolei grouped around the massive artificial with a look of bewilderment on their faces. They never fixed or repaired an artificial but it should be quite a challenge for them.
"His head is pretty much damaged," said Izzy, "So we're going to have to examine that part first and then we'll check the condition of his armor."
"Hmmm. According to my knowledge, his armor is fully made out of chrome digizoid metal, the strongest metal in the Digital World. But Virus was able to damage it somehow," said Ken.
"Correct, Ken. Wow, I never knew you could catch on that quick," remarked Izzy.
"Well I was the Digimon Kaiser after all," Ken said.
"And that's all that matters, Ken," said Yolei, "And he doesn't even have one single biological implant within his artificial body. He's fully mechanical. Man, I wonder how Datamon could have created such advanced forms of life."
"Well only Datamon would know, but he's dead," said Izzy, "So we're going to have to repair with the best of our abilities."
They all nodded to each other in agreement and began to go to work on Black War Greymon's injured body. The dark mega shut his eyes and began a very long sleep in order to rest out his damaged body and allow the children to work upon him.
****************************************************************************************
[Killer Instinct T.J. Combo's theme "Yo Check This Out!" plays]
Back outside the garage, the other Digi-Destined were all gathered around. Davis, Matt, Dimitri, Cody, Sora, Joe, Mimi and Michael were looking upon the sunset as they began to review the past events that have occurred during the past few days of hell.
"But why does Virus want a competition?" asked Cody, "Sounds like he just wants to kill us in one full swoop."
"I certainly don't trust him," Armadillomon said.
"Well even if he wins this competition, he can't rule the world," replied Mimi.
"Well he can certainly go for a retirement since he won't any much competition from us" giggled Palmon.
"Guys this isn't a funny matter!" exclaimed Joe.
"Ah. Lighten up, Joe. It's not going to get any better in the next ten days," remarked Gomamon, "So let us joke around for the next ten days."
"No. No. Virus is not interested in ruling both the real and the digital world," said Dimitri.
The children all look towards him with shocked looks on their faces. The digimon were just as speechless as ever.
"The purpose of this contest is to acknowledge his power and bring both worlds into complete terror," said Dimitri, "That's the whole purpose of this stupid competition!"
"Not to mention to give the full play to the power of his fully evolved body!" exclaimed Sora.
"No doubt," replied Biyomon.
"He's just an arrogant prick," Davis remarked.
TK sat there clenching his fists angrily at everything that had just occurred and he couldn't wait till he would have a chance at entering the training chamber soon. He vowed that he would fuse with Patamon in order to get stronger.
"All right, that's how things are now. We will take part, too," TK said.
"But why would Sora feel so relaxed now?" asked Veemon.
"How would I know?" asked Patamon.
"Don't you guys get it?" said Sora, "If it's a competition that Virus wants, then he's going to have to follow by their rules. There are limitations when it comes to those types of situations. Virus has to play by the rules. Killing isn't allowed in competition. So none of us has to die."
"I see. Then we'll take apart in it," said Davis.
"Well if there is such a stipulation, then the two worlds are saved," Dimitri said, "Leomon will come too, followed by Tai and Kari."
They all nod in agreement, while Sora looked out to the skies with an awe look in her eyes.
"Oh Tai. I hope you and Kari are done with that digimon training. We really need you at this moment," Sora said in thoughts.
"Well what are we guys doing sitting on ourasses for?" asked Michael.
"Lets start our very own digimon training!" Betamon cried out, "We really don't need the chamber to train in."
"Just be careful what you wish for Michael," said TK, "And Kari, I hope you get as strong as possible. I really can't wait to see how you and Gatomon progressed in that fusion training. It must have been a lot of hard work."
Passing by the garage was a boy with blue hair and glasses. He had lost his favorite toy and was in search for it. But before he could continue his search, a woman's voice called out to him.
"Kenta!"
"Wait, mommy! I haven't found my toy airplane!'
"We'll get you another one!"
"Oh goody!"
***************************************************************************************
Back within the training room, Tai and Kari sprawled all across the room on their beds. Tai and Agumon were snoring just as loud as ever while Kari and Gatomon slept deeply through the snores and peacefully thought about happy dreams about a perfect digital world and visions of TK walking her through a beach.
"Ahhh. How romantic, TK…" Kari said in her dreams.
****************************************************************************************
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Elsewhere, Virus was flying through the earth's landscape and his eyes flashed with a white light. Suddenly, a portal appeared out of nowhere and he went right through it. In a matter of moment, Virus finds himself within the Digital World. A sadistic smile comes across his face as he looks upon a small village of Pagumon.
"Ahhh. Perfect. This is quite the ideal spot."
Just then, a school of Pagumon appeared out of their homes and walked through to gather some berries for themselves and their families. It was quite a peaceful moment for them but that would soon come to a complete end for them. Virus sticks his arm out towards the village.
"Let the platform be bigger than that of the old competitions!"
He quickly blasts the whole village away and the village quickly becomes nothing more than a desolate landscape. In its place was now a rocky, dead, but level area for the ring to be built on. He looks over the large hill.
"Then…"
He lifts it off from the ground using the power from his mind, in the form in telekinesis. Still working telekinesitically, he cuts the rock into slabs.
"Just as I expected, the rocks are good right here. Perfect."
He then cuts a huge slab of the rock into a grid and sets the platform down, still without any physical contact. The blocks fall into place, throwing dust up around them. The result is a nice, fighting platform.
"Ah. I love it. Just the way it should be. I'll leave here for now until I announce the competition. I'll bring it to the other side when I return back. Now to get the word out."
With that said, Virus sets off into the skies and he raises his arms forwards. A portal opens out of nowhere and Virus goes right through it. He then will go back into the earth's dimension as he plans to tell the worldwide audience about his competition and somehow contact the Digital World and let them know of his big announcement as well.
The stage has now been set and the competition is set to take place in ten days, but now Virus plans on making a worldwide television appearance to let them know on his plans. How will the Digi-Destined react to this and will Tai and Kari complete their digital fusion training in time?

Keke: Ahem. Don't forget that my dad will be taking part in that competition. Virus may have humiliated him this time, but my dad will get the last laugh!

Max: As what? An evil bitch?
Coral: Well, I'm not evil, but I'm definitely a bitch.
SSJ4T: That you are.
Coral: Why is everyone on my case today?!
Celesta: Hey, you were wearing that derogatory costume. Anyway, don't you think we should get started with the fic?
SSJ4T: Agreed. That's enough of our rambling, you guys enjoy the fic! The countdown to the War Games begins!

Virus' Doomsday Broadcast! The Suppressed Strength of Omega X and Celesta X!
December 22, 2004
Back in Odaiba, the city has been under careful watch ever since the attacks of Virus and the artificials during the past few days. The Digi-Destined also stayed alert for any approaching threats to come.
Izzy, Yolei and Ken were still repairing the dark mega, Black War Greymon. They were sure that with their technology that they would help repair him to the powerful being that he once was.
A machine scans over the body of Black War Greymon and his insides were examined. It was all nothing but machinery, no organic material. After a while of scanning the surface, it uses an X-Ray to penetrate the surface and examine his skeletal structure. Izzy looks over some data that he begins collecting. He then looks up from a large sheet of paper that he had been examining.
"Hmmm. Your structure seems to be totally different from the other artificials, who were mainly bio-organic. You're all machine. Prodigious," Izzy said.
Yolei and Ken began to study over the blueprints given to them by TK earlier yesterday. Now they had a chance of examining the artificials through their point of view. Finally, the machine finishes scanning Black War Greymon and slides back.
"I was created out of nothing. I'm all machine," Black War Greymon said, "I'm not even a real digimon."
"Then these blueprints mean nothing at the moment" said Ken.
"Yeah, what a waste. If this guy was built much differently, we certainly don't need these useless blueprints," exclaimed Yolei.
Izzy looks up at Black War Greymon's data, now displayed on the wall. He hits a button and drops the blueprints. The machine that had been scanning Black War Greymon lifts up into the ceiling. Black War Greymon slowly sits up despite his injured head.
"Am I able to be repaired?" asked the dark mega.
"Hmmm. I think we could do it. Myself, Ken and Yolei will try our best. But we're not geniuses like Datamon was," Izzy said.
Wormmon hops onto where Black War Greymon was and looks right at him. Black War Greymon picks him up and places him on his shoulder.
"Hello, there," said Wormmon.
"So are you a real digimon?" asked Black War Greymon.
"Yes. I'm made out of data," replied Wormmon.
"Interesting…"
Black War Greymon holds Wormmon in his hands and begins to examine him. Wormmon felt nervous being held by a monsterous artificial but he felt safe as long as Black War Greymon had a good conscious at the moment. Black War Greymon slowly petted him and handed him right back to Ken.
"You could trust him, Wormmon," asked Ken.
"Yes. He had quite the gentle touch, just like you," said Wormmon.
The three Digi-Destined went back to work on examining Black War Greymon's body structure and looked for new ways of repairing him back to his old fighting self.
***************************************************************************************
The other Digi-Destined sat around in Tai's apartment to get their attention off from the past events and to relax. The children all sat around either to hang around, socialize while others such as Dimitri and TK kept their attention on the local news in order to get anymore updates on the Virus situation.
The digimon all stuck around the kitchen stuffing themselves with food. Veemon was the biggest pig out of all of them. He began shoveling down food down his throat. Armadillomon had competition with Veemon as to who is the bigger pig. He grabs a handful of cake and stuffs it down his throat.
"Mmm! This cake is great," exclaimed Armadillomon, "Man, I could stuff myself like this all day!"
"C'mon! Bring in the main course," demanded Gabumon.
"No way. You still have to go on a diet," shrieked Biyomon, "You even made a promise to watch your diet during these few days."
"I resent that. I only get a little overweight during the winter time and our kind needs to hibernate by then," Gabumon said.
"Well you're no longer a wild gabumon now, aren't you," asked palmon.
"No and I could watch my diet."
Veemon and Armadillomon looked over another large chocolate cake right in front of them. They eyes go all starry at the moment. They were heaven, as they like to call it. Veemon digs his fingers into the cake. Armadillomon cries out as he watches. Veemon pulls his finger out and licks the cream off.
"The faster one gets it!" exclaimed Veemon.
Armadillomon sticks his finger into the cake and twirls it around. Sora and Mimi watch on with their eyes widened, as if they were appalled. Suddenly, Mimi's eyes narrowed.
"I better take Matt and Dimitri away from here. This is really bad manners and how am I going to set an example for my future son," pondered Mimi.
"You could start showing some passion for Matt," Sora snickered.
"Sora… I… Um…"
"Speechless?"
"No… None… Whatsoever…"
Suddenly, Veemon and Armadillomon fight with each other for the cake. But then, the two Patamons jump in and snatch away the cake from their grasp. Veemon and Armadillomon stood there with their eyes all widened.
"Finders, keepers!" the Patamons said in unison.
TK and Dimitri smiled as they watched their digimon pig on out on the cake. Then they turned their attention back onto the television to listen to any reports on the Virus situation.
"Armadillomon, lets just hope that you didn't spill any drool on that cake," said Veemon.
"Whoops… Looks like I had already done," remarked Armadillomon.
"How come they can are all so moody at a time like this," asked Cody.
Davis shrugs his shoulders and heads over towards where Dimitri, TK and Michael are all gathered around the television. Dimitri has his eyes locked onto the television in order to get a better view of the news broadcast.
"Hey, um, Dimitri, are you far-sighted?" asked Davis, "Your going to hurt your eyes like that."
"Nah. I'm fine really."
"Alright then…"
"Anything yet?" asked TK.
"Nope. There haven't been any updates on Virus. I'm still kind of a little shaky about the upcoming competition," Dimitri said.
"Me too. I wonder what Virus is really up to at this very moment," said TK.
"Up to no good, that's for sure," exclaimed Davis, "Hey didn't Virus say that he make the announcement from television? Oh man, I'll miss my wrestling!"
"That's why we are glued to the television at the moment," said TK, "Normally, I don't watch much TV but this is very important."
"Ditto here. And we have to find out where the competition is going to take place," replied Dimitri.
It seems as though five people at the moment are showing concern for Virus' competition since they have their eyes glued on the television. Those spectators were Dimitri, TK, Davis, Cody and Matt.
Matt looked on from the background and away from the group. An angry sneer came across his face while clenching his fists at the sheer thought of getting back at Virus for humiliating him.
"Damn it! Why hasn't Virus shown himself yet?!"
Dimitri begins flipping through the channels in search of news broadcast stations. He then flips onto another local channel station. He looks towards Davis.
"So, are you sure that Virus is going to make his announcement through the TV," asked Davis.
"Yes, that's what he said."
TK stands up onto his feet and waves over to Patamon. The little digimon finishes up the last portions of his cake and flies on over towards his partner.
"Let's train you right now. Wanna go outside and begin?" TK asked.
"Sure. I really need to burn off the food. I'm getting very sluggish here," remarked Patamon.
"Hey! Wait for me, TL!" Davis cried out, "Veemon wants to train and he challenges Patamon. Right Veemon?"
"What? Train now?" asked Veemon, "But I only got to eat little bites."
"Ok, it's a done deal," said TK, "Are you up for it, Patamon?"
"What do you say, Veemon?" asked Patamon.
"I guess so, but no cheating."
"Oh c'mon, I know better than that," said Patamon.
"Ok guys, if Virus shows on up TV, tells us. We'll be training outside!" TK exclaimed.
They all nodded in agreement and the two boys walked outside with their digimon at their sides. Davis sneered to himself at the thought of humiliating TK this time around since he and Veemon are able to fuse.
"Oh this is going to be so great. Now TG's going to realize who his daddy is. Veemon is going to beat the stuffing out of Patamon,"Davis thought.
"Hmmm. I wonder why he's so excited about?" TK pondered.
"You know, Patamon. We could really use the practice. We got nine days after all," said Veemon.
"That's right and maybe I can fuse with TK during the training in the chamber sometime," replied Patamon, "Our time to shine will soon come."
"Well Davis and I are fusible duo! We kicked major Virus butt for a while as Paildramon," Veemon remarked.
"Just don't punch me in the gut," Patamon said.
"Ok, the first thing that I'm going to do is punch you in the gut," Veemon said.
"Aww. No fair. That's a low blow!" Patamon replied.
Back inside the apartment, Mimi looks over towards Dimitri and slowly walks over to him. He turns around to see none other then the present version of his future mother.
"Um, hi there. Dimitri, how have you been?"
"I'm fine. It's just weird to see the present version of you, Mimi. You look.… The same, except that you have the long, blonde hair in my time. You weren't much into fashion after I was born," Dimitri said.
"Oh. There's no way I could ever give up on fashion just yet. But if what you say is true, then I better enjoy these last few years," Mimi replied, "Well, it's good to know that you have my nose."
She giggles as he pokes Dimitri right on his face. He blushes and turns away ashamed to be picked on by his own young mother.
"Aww, you're blushing. How cute!" remarked Mimi.
"No… I just feel hot. I need to lie down…"
The children all laughed at what is going on between the so-called mother and son. Matt looks right over towards them and could only smirk. Mimi looks right over towards him.
"Um, Matt."
"Yeah, Mimi?"
"You wanna join us? You know, a little family reunion so to speak."
"Um. No. I have other things in mind."
"Pfft. Well you're no fun. Aww, well I better enjoy this nice figure only for a few years before I give birth to you," Mimi said.
"Like I said you don't change much. Moth- Er Mimi, we better keep our eyes on the news, because Virus is set to make his announcement anytime now."
"Ok."
Veemon and Patamon faced each other off outside as they prepare for a training of their own. TK and Davis watch on from opposite sides to watch their respective partners to start off their duel.
"I'm ready whenever you are, TY."
"The name is TK. And you bet Patamon is ready for anything!"

Elsewhere, on another part of Japan, Virus speeds over a rather large ocean and then eventually reaches over land. He was able to gain access through a television and used the Digi-Destined's power to transport himself from the Digital World to the real world. After all, he did inherit the Digi-Destined's D3 and digivice powers into his being. He was heading towards the nearest town with the largest TV station. He had found the perfect location over at Odaiba where he would pay the TV station a little visit.
He stares down at the ground passing by beneath him, while smiling to himself. He flies in low and travels just about the ground.
Up ahead, the city of Odaiba seems to be going about its usual business as it would during on any other day. People and cars travel about the streets in silence. Suddenly small buildings and roadways start to explode as something was quickly passing right by them. Everything comes to a complete stop. People watch in horror as the explosions get closer and closer to them, but they were unable to run since they were all in shock to even run away and escape the devastation coming their way.
Virus flies right through a building and sends a huge shockwave to break the surrounding glass windows all around him. Inside, frightened screams go up from a receptionist and several workers. Virus walks through an elevator door and into the room. He then walks up to the receptionist, who huddles behind her desk with a look on fear on his face. Virus smiles over to her.
"Excuse miss, where can I find the international broadcasting program," asked Virus.
The receptionist points up from above and towards the top levels of the building. Virus looks up and then turns to face her.
"To Studio C, at the very top level."
"Ahhh. Thank you, miss."
With that said, Virus goes flying up through the top of the ceiling in order to reach to the top level of the entire building. As a result of this, he caused light fixture to come crashing down.
***************************************************************************************
[Killer Instinct "Freeze" theme plays]
Veemon and Patamon begin their sparring session with TK and Davis watching at opposite sides. They go clashing at one another and trading blows, with Veemon getting quite an advantage at first.
Suddenly, the tide turned and Patamon executes a head butt into Veemon's gut. Veemon goes flying back and landing on his bottom. Patamon flips over onto his feet. TK clapped on while Davis clenched his fists angrily.
"C'mon, Veemon! Get up, dude!"
"Aw man! Ha! I think Patamon bounced off from Veemon's rather huge stomach," remarked TK. "He needs to lose some weight."
"Hey! Don't make fun of me!" Veemone exclaimed.
Patamon and TK began laughing as Veemon was slowly getting to his feet. Davis could not stand the fact that Patamon and TK were not taking this seriously as they should be. Patamon looked on over to Veemon and giggles.
"You big tummy could work well against Virus! All you have to do is pop your big, fat gut and push him off of the planet," said Patamon.
Veemon sits up and holds his stomach angrily. He growls over towards Patamon.
"Hey! Quit laughing at me, pig boy."
Patamon continues laughing.
"Look who's talking!"
"Hey are you making fun of me?!"
"I sure am!"
As soon as he said that, Patamon goes flying right at Veemon and executed a devastating head butt to Veemon and sends him flying back. Veemon falls down to the ground with a glazed look in his eyes. TK and Patamon stood there laughing while Davis kneeled over his fallen partner.
"Don't worry, Veemon. Revenge shall be ours. Give him the F-5!"
"I think Davis has been watching way too much wrestling," TK muttered.
"At least, I watch something cool!"
"There he goes again."
Armadillomon and Cody watch on through the window. They could only snicker to themselves at what just happened to Veemon.
"What are the two of them doing?" pondered Cody, "How can we get rid of Virus like that?"
"I don't know but that was sure a comedy routine! I think Veemon and Davis could go for tryout as the best comedians in the block," remarked Armadillomon.
"That's for sure. They know nothing but comedy routines," replied Cody.
"But nobody knows comedy routines much like myself," Gomamon said.
"Are Davis and Veemon making clowns out of themselves again?" asked Joe.
"As always. Those two never change," said Cody.
"Eh. I can do much better than they could," Gomamon said, "I got the class for being a stand up comedian!"
Suddenly, something was occurring on a program on television during a dancing routine, and the dancers looked down to the ground to see something penetrating through. It was none other than Virus himself! Virus rises from below and a girl was on top of his head screaming her lungs out. She jumps down and looks up at Virus with fear in her eyes. The Digi-Destined all gasp and turn away from the television.
"Ack! Its Virus!" exclaimed Sora.
"We better get Davis and TK back in here," said Dimitri.
Virus continues to rise above through several channeled stations as each time Dimitri flipped the channel, Virus was there on camera. Matt looked over towards the television and sees Virus smiling.
"Grr. What a damn show off. Now he wants television all to himself!"
Armadillomon and Cody go rushing out towards Davis and TK. They both look over towards the boy and his armadillo.
"You guys! It's Virus! He's on the television! You better get inside as quick as possible!"
***************************************************************************************
Minutes later, the entire Digi-Destined gang all gathered around the television as they could only imagine for the worst to come. Virus continues to rise up all the way to Studio C, and they change the channel in order to follow him. They find him on another channel, but he hasn't stopped rising yet. Matt looks on and clenches his fist angrily.
"Pfft, you show off! I'm going to get you!"
They flip the channel again to find Virus rising up through a cooking show. Flip another channel, he rises through a wrestling ring where several wrestlers were auditioning for a upcoming show. They change again and he rises through some sort of educational program involving hamsters.
Outside the building of the TV station, light flows right out of the windows, rising progressively higher.
They change the channel again, and come onto the Odaiba World Broadcast. A reporter was standing by as he was set to conclude the show.
"And that should wrap our show up… Ahh!"
Virus quickly rises right beside the news reporter and turns to face him. The reporter backs away in attempt to get away from him. Screams could now be heard in the background.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Virus quickly grabs him by the neck and lifts the reporter above his head. The man begins to struggle and gag for air.
"What do you think your doing?! You're damned crazy!"
"Tell me, is this Studio C at the top level?!"
He then drops the man and looks down over towards him as if he were going to make him talk. The reporter looks right up at him nervously and nods.
"Of course it is! Call security! Please!"
Virus points his finger right towards the man and shoots a blast right at him. An explosion occurs and everybody in the studio are caught by complete surprise at what they had just seen. He turns back around towards the camera and smiles to the whole world.
***************************************************************************************
[Digimon English theme "Run Around" plays]
Meanwhile, back in the training chamber, the ending months of the year of training was drawing near and it was nearly time to evacuate the room. But Tai and Kari had vowed to make the last remaining days one of their hardest and they push for new levels of power as far as their fusion was concerned. They would perfect it.
A bright golden explosion occurs deep in the background. Celesta X throws a ki-blast right at her surroundings and brushes her long blonde hair away from her face. She then throws more ki-blasts after ki-blasts at the floor, and several more explosions follow. She lands and hunches over, attempting to raise her ki much higher this time around.
"I have got to excel the power of fusion! I have too! I have to get as strong as possible!"
Tai and Agumon watch on from the background. Agumon stuffing himself full of candy during his so-called break time.
"She's progressing on," Tai said to himself,"This amazing grace is simply incredible. She lets her beauty cloak her deadly power, a good combination for the so-called fusion warrior. I'm just glad that it turned out to be my own sister. I just hope we both have enough to beat Virus."
Celesta X continues her practice as she continues on tossing around ki-blasts and maneuvering away from them in order to enhance her speed.
***************************************************************************************
Virus shoots out a beam towards the camera and several of the computer equipment with energy beams. This would now allow him to send a televised message through all of the TV monitors found throughout the Digital World. Now both worlds would be able to listen to his announcement.
"Hello, worlds. Let me take a few minutes to speak my mind here."
The cameraman moves in for a better angle on Virus, in order to get a better view of him and to let the whole world see his whole appearance. Virus looks towards the camera and continues. The cameras pan up from the monster's feet all the way up to his face.
"In fact, I have good news for those of you who are living in peace and happiness. This time, I'm going to bring you a time of thrill and excitement."
But everyone in the room would not stay calm and show the looks of fear on every one of their faces. Virus could only smile and continue on his little revelation.
"My name is Virus. You should know that an unknown monster absorbed numerous of helpless people. Well right after that monster transformed, it became me."
More frightened gasps and screams are heard from throughout the whole room. They couldn't believe that this was the same monster that was absorbing all of those innocent souls just a few days ago, and now they got to get a good look at his fully evolved form right in their own television station.
"First, I must thank you for providing me with a great amount of energy."
Throughout the whole world, people were tuning into the broadcast and listening for themselves. Each time they changed the channel, they only found all of their TV stations covered by Virus' evil grin. He was practically taking over their own television sets.
Even the inhabitants of the Digital World were watching on and listening to what Virus had to say.
"Please relax. I do not need any more energy from living bodies. I have decided to organize a so-called competition known as the War Games. The venue shall be on Earth, just sixty miles away from Tokyo. The stage and the ring have been set up there."
Even Leomon, X, Gennai and Azulongmon were watching Virus' announcement through their viewing orb. They weren't going to miss out on this big historic announcement that is very essential to the fate of not just the Digital World but that of the real world as well.
"It will be much different from the old tournaments during the early days of the Digital World… If your person loses, the next contestant shall come up next and face me. This is good for you. If I keep fighting, I will perhaps get very fatigued…"
Now there was a long pause among many groups of people throughout both worlds while they had their eyes glued to their television sets and listening to the announcement.
"The rules of this competition are the same as the old ones. Whoever gives up or gets tossed out of the ring is regarded as a loss. I will show mercy, but whoever gets killed will be regarded as a loss as well."
The Digi-Destined has their eyes locked onto the TV and the digimon looked just as intensified as ever. They were more than ready to face him anytime now, even today, but they held back their anger for the time being and let the monster continue his announcement.
"And if I'm not defeated, I shall destroy both worlds!"
"What?! That no good monster," exclaimed Davis.
Even Ken, Yolei and Izzy paused during their work on Black War Greymon in order to listen to the announcement. Black War Greymon turns his attention and sees his most hated foe on the television monitor.
"I can see faces filled with fear just about everyday. And at the very end, all humans and digimon will be wiped out!"
"Damn him!" growled Dimitri.
"I'm very confident in my power. I want everyone to participate. Plus take a good look at what you're going to be up against."
With that said, Virus holds out his hand and reaches back. He then blasts out the back wall of the studio. The ki-blast continues through every following building, and through a very, tall mountain. In a matter of moments, the mountain in the background goes exploding and leaving nothing more than fallen debris and devastated landscape. A smile forms across the monster's face.
"If you don't want that, come and take part! I'm waiting for you! Now let the games begin! The competition shall be in nine days! Good luck to you all! You're going to need it!"
Virus goes flying out through the open space and laughs on his way through the city and out towards the countryside within a matter of minutes.
The Digi-Destined all looked outside and saw a devastated TV station. Matt looked out with an angry look on his face.
"Well, thank god that dad was working today! He would have flipped out when he saw this!" exclaimed Matt.
"He's such an unforgivable monster!" cried out Joe.
"He even said that he was going to kill everybody in both worlds," exclaimed Davis, "I knew he couldn't be trusted."
"He's terrible," TK said, "I was too naive to think that we won't get killed because of the stupid rules!"
"TK?" Patamon replied.
"Who can fight that monster? Dimitri and Matt aren't good enough, not even Davis. And Tai… Kari…" TK wanted to finish but he couldn't.
Dimitri stood there nodding in agreement and silent, but obviously very angry and frustrated. Mimi looks to him, and then to Matt. Matt punches the wall behind him and faces the ground. Mimi walks up to him.
"Where are you going, Matt?" asked Mimi.
"Gabumon and I can't stand it! My dad was nearly killed out there and I won't allow that monster to do any harm to my family. Until I kill that monster myself, I will then cool off my rage."
"Oh, Matt…"
"Hey, father! I'll go with you too!" exclaimed Dimitri.
Suddenly Mimi stops Dimitri and hands something to him. She gives him her small pendent that is shaped like the symbol of the Crest of Sincerity. It had a beautiful neon green glow to it. Dimitri looks down over it and holds it tightly.
"It's for good luck," Mimi said, "Please take care of yourself, son."
"Thanks mother…"
"Now get strong… You and Matt."
Dimitri nodded and called over to his Patamon. Matt and Gabumon shrugged their shoulders as they waited for Dimitri and Patamon to meet up with them.

Meanwhile, back inside the training chamber room, Omega X and Celesta X were clashing with one another. They were trading blows and nearly equal in power as their year of training was coming to a near end.
***************************************************************************************
The whole world was in frenzy as many inhabitants have begun to move out of their homes in fear of being destroyed by Virus within nine days. A large mass of cars moves about out of the city of Odaiba. Each of them was on their own way to hide somewhere. No matter if there was traffic, they would fight through as hard as they could. In addition, there was only one objective among all of these people: get the hell out of the city.
Then a horde of frightened citizens rush around while screaming to the top of their lungs.
Back at the apartments, the Digi-Destined were among the few people that stuck around and surprisingly there wasn't a group of armed forces to tell them to evacuate the area. Cody, Armadillomon and Betamon all looked out from the windows as they watched the large crowd leaving the city and cars crashing into one another.
"Man! I wish I was among those people," Betamon said, "I want to get the heck out of here!"
"Its just going to be the same, no matter where you go," replied Cody.
"Right, Virus said that if he defeated all of his opponents, he'd kill everyone here and in the Digital World," said Armadillomon.
"Yeah, so what about at least hitching a ride in a spaceship and flying out into orbit?" asked Betamon.
"Betamon…" Cody said.
"Besides Virus won't follow us in deep space," Betamon replied.
"And just leave us out in the cold?" asked Armadillomon, "That's very low o' you."
Meanwhile, Davis, Sora, Joe, and Michael all stood around watching the television and looked at the chaos that was ensuing throughout the world. There was panic among the people worldwide.
"Ugh. It's my entire fault. If only… I would…" Davis wanted to finish to what he was saying but couldn't.
Suddenly he looks back to when he smashed the remote controller that he was supposed to have used to deactivate Sonja yesterday or else all of this would have never happened.
"Its my fault that Virus become fully evolved. I let her get absorbed!"
He then pictures Sonja and then pictures the fully evolved Virus smiling. He shook off those thoughts.
"Umm, Davis. What's the matter?" asked Veemon.
"Guys! I have decided that Veemon and I will fight against Virus!"
The other Digi-Destined looked at him as if he were crazy and shocked at his declaration. Michael gasps and looks back at him.
"It was my entire fault that all of this has taken place and now I'm out to correct that mistake!" exclaimed Davis.
Davis goes running for the door, but then Sora stopped him and Veemon. She looked at them with a serious look on her face.
"Don't go!"
"Huh? Why not?"
"You know very well that you and Veemon aren't near Virus' power. Even at your fused form of Paildramon, you don't even stand a chance."
Davis and Veemon both look down at the ground as if they were upset that they are forbidden from fighting Virus at such a situation such as this.
"I'm sorry but I have to correct this mistake!"
"I think he's right on this one, Davis," Joe said, "Even Paildramon is no match for Virus."
"But if you want to. You can enter his competition," said Sora, "Think about it. It gives you more time for you and Veemon to use the training chamber in order to perfect your digital fusion. Who knows, maybe you'll be even better than Omega X."
Davis thought of that idea and pictured himself in his fused mega form standing triumphant over a fallen Virus and a rescued Sonja. A devious smirk came across his face and he smiles.
"Alright, I'll take your words for it, guys. What do you say, Veemon? You ready to get some revenge on Virus?!"
"And plus I get more than enough time to snooze."
"Sure, whatever you want. And we'll correct the mistake that we have made!"
"Besides you shouldn't go blaming yourself. Its not your fault," Joe said.
"Let's just have high hopes in Tai and Kari now," Cody said, "That's all we can say."
"Their fusion power is so limitless. There's no telling to how much stronger they have gotten," said Michael.
Davis nodded in agreement and looked over to Veemon. The little blue digimon nodded and they both looked out to the window.
****************************************************************************************
Back at the training grounds, TK, Dimitri and Matt met up with X, Leomon and Gennai. They were still waiting for Tai and Kari to finish their chamber training and exit out.
"When will Tai and Kari come out?" asked Dimitri.
"Almost a whole day with three hours left," replied X, "They've been overdoing it for some reason."
"Hmph! They might not come out even after a whole day," remarked Matt.
Dimitri and TK look right over towards matt with concerned looks on their faces, but they were upset with his arrogance.
Matt finished at what he was then going to say.
"I'm sure that they will stay in there longer than that."
"Be patient. We still have nine more days until the War Games take place," said Leomon, "You're also going to be in the training room more than just one day. You can take a rest. You can let me go in first."
"Ha! You're only wasting your own time," laughed Matt, "From now on, it will be the world of the strongest fusion warriors much like myself and Gabumon."
Leomon turns around and glares right at the chamber door. Matt continues to ramble on with his back turned.
"Fine. It's up to you though, but in the next eight days following, Gabumon and myself will be using that room. We're using it through all of those days!"
"What a shame. One or two of the different species can stay in the room for only two days. That's forty-eight hours. You do the math," Leomon explained.
"What?! What if its over forty-eight hours?!"
"Then the exit of the door will disappear and you two will be trapped in there for all eternity!" said Gennai.
"Heh, looks like you're shit out of luck my friend," X added.
"On the other hand, we can still use it for twenty-three hours!" exclaimed Dimitri, "I think that could be useful father."
Matt crosses his arms again and looks down to face Gabumon. He has been punked by the masker warrior. Suddenly, everybody spins around and turns around to face the door of the chamber room. The digimon could feel enormous ki about to emerge.
"Its Omega X's and Gatomon's ki," said Patamon, "They're coming out pretty soon."
"But why so fast?" asked Matt, "Its not even a whole day!"
Everyone is silent for a moment and their eyes all widen in shock. The digimon were just as speechless to the amount of power levels that they were reading. All eyes are on the doorway leading to the path that leads to the chamber room.
Footsteps are then heard, but they can't see the source just yet. A set of legs appears in the doorway, a pair of long legs with a few cuts and scratches on them. Then Celesta X was revealed. Her top was almost coming off and her long, blonde hair was blowing across her face. Then out came Omega X with bits of his armor being shattered and broken.
"What? Matt and Dimitri have come? And I can still sense Virus' ki," said Omega X, "He's still alive? What is this all about?"
TK and the others turned, as they saw none other than Celesta X. This long-legged, blonde and sexy looking warrior was surprisingly Kari herself with Gatomon in their fusion form. TK and Patamon's mouths were gaped wide open at what they were seeing. It was as though Kari had already matured.
"That's Kari? Wow, what a growth spurt and a physical development," TK said, "Did she dye her hair?"
"No. They're in their fusion form," Patamon replied, "Unbelievable."
"Hey guys. And no, this is our fusion form," Celesta X said with a mixture of both Gatomon's and Kari's voice, "We are Amazing grace."
"That sounds good enough for me," said TK.
"Tell us. What just happened here," Omega X asked with the mixture of both Tai's and War Greymon's voice.
Dimitri and Leomon gasped at what they were gazing at and then they returned back to their senses once again.
"In fact," Omega X said, "Before we discuss, can somebody bring me something to eat. I'm starving!"
"Well. He hasn't changed that much," remarked Leomon.
***************************************************************************************
Later, Omega X and Celesta X were enjoying themselves a big feast that was soon prepared for them, courtesy of Azulongmon and Gennai. Dimitri stares at them across the table in total shock at the large quantities of food that they were consuming.
"Mmmm! Delicious!" exclaimed Omega X.
"This is very good," said Celesta X, "Mmm. I can stuff myself like this anytime. I've never been this hungry before."
Soon after that, the dirty dishes were piling up on top of each other. Dimitri is wide-eyed and gaping at the number of plates. Leomon was a bit surprised but he knew what to expect from these two. Gennai is pretty much in the same surprise category alongside Dimitri at the moment, even though he knew better than to realize that the cooking from the guardians are good enough to be consumed within a few minutes. That's how delicious their food was. It was rich and pure.
Matt stands away from the group, even much further away than Leomon at the moment. He and Gabumon pretty much had their eyes locked onto Omega X. He was looking over his shoulder right over to them.
"How did they become like this? Why are they in fusion form?"
He looks at the two fusion warriors. First to Omega X and then to Celesta X. Gabumon decides to speak up next.
"It feels a bit strange," replied Gabumon, "They have naturally retained that state."
"Yes. He's able to do so after remaining in his form for a spontaneous period of time. Before he entered the room, he could only remain in his fused state for a little less than an hour. Now, he's able to retain his form by adapting to a harsh environment inside the chamber. Believe me. I've been through the same crap in my prime."
Celesta X soon sets down another empty bowl and pats her stomach.
"I'm so full."
Omega X then pays his own stomach and agrees with his sister. Dimitri stares right down at the plates and the dishes all piled up. TK was surprised to see that Kari was able to consume that much food. They were quite baffled to know that Kamiyas have near bottomless stomachs. Omega X leans back on his hands.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, guys. Ok, Dimitri, you want to fill us in on what has been going on," asked Omega X.
"Um, Yes, sure," replied Dimitri.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere a train full of people passes by. A woman tries to sleep through her trip out of Shibuya and out into the country, but her child goes energetic as she points out to the window. The child goes waving and yelling out towards the window.
"Hey!"
"Honey? What do you see?"
The woman stares right out the window, but for a while, sees nothing at the moment. She then gasps and screams out when she sees Virus flying along the train, watching it out of the corner of his eye with a smile on his face. Suddenly, the whole train starts to panic at whom they were seeing. Then they all tried getting out of the train in order to escape Virus. The train then comes into a crossroad, stopping at an amazing amount of traffic if one considers the fact that they're in the middle of nowhere. A man steps out in front of the traffic while shaking his fist.
"Hurry up! Start it, come on!"
Meanwhile, the other drivers and passengers express their opinions and start to side with the angry man. The train passes and then the man stops yelling. On the other side of the tracks staring at him was none other than Virus. The man and the whole group gasp in complete terror.
"Aren't you driving this way? What's the matter?!"
Frightened murmuring flows through the large crowd among them but then no one moves a muscle. They are all in complete shock.
"Then I will make my move," said Virus.
The monster stepped forward, which causes the man to scream out and run away into safety. And the other begins to run away as well to follow his lead. Virus steps in front of a red convertible, watches the people and looks down at the now empty car. He lifts the car above his head with tremendous ease.
"You've forgotten this."
With one arm, Virus heaves the car at the horde of people running away. It then hills down a hill, and the car is able to make an on head collision with the people as an explosion occurs and the screams of the people can he heard in the background. Virus looks on all satisfied with a grin that would frighten the likes of Devimon.
Looking on from the train, a boy with a sketchpad looks on at the destruction inflicted.
"Who could do such a thing? Oh, if only I had a guardian angel to protect me."
The boy's sketchpad contained a drawing of a dragon-like dinosaur. Eventually, this sketch would become the boy's guardian angel within the next seven years.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the garage site near the apartments, more repairs were being done to Black War Greymon. The team of Izzy, Ken and Yolei were still not quite done with him just yet.
Izzy stands over Black War Greymon's motionless body, and further away, Ken and Yolei both work on a computer. They scroll through lines of programming information, mostly long strings of math problems. Among these math problems are numerous of printings of the words 'Taichi Kamiya.'
"But why would all of Tai's information be in Black War Greymon's head?" asked Yolei.
"What?"
Izzy walks over towards them and looks over the lines of programming with a blank stare over his face. Suddenly images of Tai, Agumon, Greymon, Metal Greymon, War Greymon and Omega X pop up along the apartment home in Odaiba, images of Kari Kamiya, the Kamiya family, and so on.
"You guys don't get it?" asked Ken, He was designed to kill Tai and Agumon."
They all look back to right where Black War Greymon was laying motionless on the table with wires running all over his head.
"It doesn't seem that way," said Yolei, "Only now, some part of him is about beating Omega X."
"No," replied Izzy, "His circuitry is far too complex. So I'm not sure yet. I don't think he's all that bad."
"He's right. There's some kind of closeness about him that we know for sure," said Tentomon.
Izzy walks back towards the table.
"Right. Maybe it's because we've changed history so much," said Yolei.
"I think that it's very lucky for us since he wants to fight Virus. That's really unbelievable," Ken replied.
Ken and Yolei walk over to where Izzy was standing as they continued their research over the mysterious fighter.
***************************************************************************************
The group had already told Omega X and Celesta X about everything concerning Virus' plan of the War Games competition.
"Wow, a competition?" asked Omega X, "Should be interesting."
"Interesting?" pondered Dimitri.
Suddenly, Matt and Gabumon walk right up towards Omega X. Matt speaks up.
"Well? Do you have confidence in beating Virus?" asked Matt.
"We don't know. We still haven't seen Virus reach his full evolution. We'll go and take a look at it first."
He then raises his fingers, concentrates and then shouts out one of his new techniques that was taught to him by the guardians.
"TIME WARP!"
He then quickly disappears out of nowhere in a form of matter in order to teleport himself to the location of Virus' competition in the Digital World.
"Tai is up to something. I just know he has an ace up his sleeve," X said in thought.
***************************************************************************************
[Killer Instinct "The way U Move" plays]
Virus stands alone on the fighting platform where the War Games will occur. Omega X quickly reappears right behind Virus after making his disappearance from the guardian's realm. Virus was the first to speak without even turning his back.
"Ahhh. Taichi."
"Yes, it is us."
"Well, this is the stage for the War Games to occur. This will decide the fate of two worlds within eight days' time. You like it?"
"This crappy platform is to determine the fate of two worlds? It looks very disappointing if it's to decide that."
Virus looks back right at his long-time adversary and smiles. Now the fighter that he had been longing to face was now in the same ring with him for a little confrontation. The set up for the main event to occur was in eight day's time. He turns partially around, about ninety degrees. They stare right at each other as if they were gladiators about to clash with one another in a historic battle.
[Dragonball Z's English Theme "The Howling" plays]
Suddenly, the skies turn completely black over one of the Earth's cities. Lighting begins to strike out of nowhere. Then the lighting strikes all around the stage, and rocks and debris rise up into the air above. The gravitational forces were just as strong as ever with these two around at the same time. A dome of golden light expands out from the center of the stage. Lighting circles around most of the stage then vanishes, to begin striking randomly at the ground once again. The weather chaos suddenly turns into the image of a full tank of neon, green liquid with occasional air bubbles. In the center is a small lump of data and cells.
"He's finally become it. This is the full evolution of Virus? I've been waiting for this moment ever since I first heard about you. Now we get our chance in stopping you," Omega X said.
Virus doesn't answer to his adversary. Suddenly images of each of Virus' forms flashed up. The small lump of cells and data first come up. Then, the large insect creature is shown. The original form in the ruins of the altered future city is then shown. Followed by, the fight between Jax and the original Virus, then Virus' second form against Sonja, and finally the full evolution of the monster himself.
Lighting strikes all around Virus as he stares silently right at Omega X. Finally he speaks up and smiles.
"This is it. The moment we both have been waiting for."
Lighting strikes between them yet again as if the lines themselves were being thrown and that the showdown between these two mega powers will soon clash with one another and both worlds will witness this clash of the titans.
Both the earth and the digital world are shown in space in side views. A large force field of sorts forms a rather large bubble around the spot the two fighters are standing on. Lighting madly danced right inside the bubble.
*************************************************************************************
Back on Earth, the ocean water surges forth quickly because of the force coming through the Digital World. Both worlds were able to feel their presence. Cody, Armadillomon and Betamon all watch on, with frightened looks on their faces.
"What is it?" asked Betamon.
Inside, Sora, Davis, Joe and Michael follow the 'events', it if could really be such.
"What a powerful ki!" said Biyomon, "Is it Virus? All of it?!"
"But its more than that," replies Veemon.
"No kidding. This ki is still going up," said Gomamon.
Suddenly, they all gasp and look up and then towards each other.
"Tai?! Omega X," they all said in unison.
This quickly catches Sora's attention as she looks out the window and towards the darkened skies.
"It's Omega X's ki!" exclaimed Veemon.
"He's finally out of the training chamber," said Davis.
*****************************************************************************************
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Back at the War Games site, Omega X speaks up towards Virus letting him know his decision.
"We'll definitely join the competition," said Omega X, "So before I join in, don't kill anyone. Understand?! This contest will get quite exciting."
With that said, Omega X places his fingers on his fore head and shouts out.
"TIME WARP!"
Omega X quickly vanishes out as a form of particles as he sets back towards the realm of Azulongmon to meet up with the others to full them in on the scoop.
The skies around the stage returns back to normal much like earth's skies have already.
"Taichi, this contest must be better than one can expect," Virus said.
****************************************************************************************
The others all gathered around Omega X as they began to ask him many questions concerning Virus and his War Games competition.
Well, Tai?" asked Dimitri.
"Frankly speaking, I never thought he could become so powerful. It's hard to predict how strong he is. We won't know unless we try. Maybe we can't beat him as Omega X."
Matt and Gabumon listened to them, but wasn't going to react to their comments. On the other hand, the others simply gasped in shock.
"No! It can't be," exclaimed TK.
Leomon stares ahead silently, and sweating at the same time. Omega X doesn't even react to TK's final comment.
"Really?" asked Dimitri.
"I can use the chamber room again, right?" asked Leomon, "There's still more time. We have just agreed on the order. I'll be first, then Matt and Gabumon will go on their own."
"In fact, if I go in, then no one else even needs to go in," commented Matt.
"Wait a sec. I want to give it a try too," said TK.
"Dimitri and Faith will be next, followed by TK and Patamon. And last, you and Celesta X can still return back into the training chamber," said Leomon.
Just then, Omega X and Celesta X look right at each other dead in the eyes. Omega X turns to face Leomon and replies to his plan.
"No, Kari and I don't need a turn," replied Omega X.
"What?!" the whole group cried in unison.
"We'll practice in the real world. Nine days will be more than enough," Omega X said.
"You're not serious!" exclaimed Matt.
"Tai? Have you lost it?" X asked.
Dimitri and TK stare on, wide-eyed, but silent at the moment. Leomon uncrosses his arms in total surprise. Even Celesta X was caught in surprise by her own brother's decision. But Omega X just stands there all confident and so sure of himself.
What?! Omega X refuses to return back into the training chamber?! I don't know, Tai. Things are looking bleak! I hope you know what you are doing. How will he and Kari progress on with their digital fusion training during these next nine days? Stay tuned for the next Digimon Fusion!

Celesta X: Tai, are you sure about this? Do you think it's right to take a day off?
Omega X: Sure! Christmas is coming up and I can't wait to kick back! The War Games won't be starting until December 31st. So, let's just relax.
Leomon: I'm not so sure about Tai's judgment. Why doesn't he and Kari need another day in the chamber?
Matt: Who cares?! I'll use the room and I will push myself further than that idiot ever hoped to achieve!
Dimitri: There's only about eight days left, guys. We better use them wisely.
Ken: Yolei, we've got trouble!
Yolei: Who are you?!

However, the characters Virus, Jax, Sonja and Burizalor are mine. Lady Myotismon, Iceladydevimon, Elfmon and Funkymon are characters made by Dark Warrior.

SSJ4T: Hey, guys! Welcome to another chapter of the Virus Saga! As you know, the countdown to the War Games is on. These next few chapters won't really involve any big battles, but they're a fresh air of relief before the heavy fighting starts again.
Max: I guess breaks are fine in this case. I'm so looking forward to the showdown between Virus and my dad. It will rival the fight I had with the Digital Warlord.
Coral: Geez, I'm not even close to their power and I'm supposed to be a saiyan.
SSJ4T: Well you at least became a Super Saiyan.
Coral: It's still not enough. I need to harness more power. I'll have to go into the Time Chamber that Goku and Vegeta used.
Max: I don't know. Are you able to rival their power?
Coral: Why not? It's all about the girl power!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
A Time of Peace Before the Tournament! Everyone Sally Forth: Imperialdramon Takes Flight!
Just as Leomon and Gennai were about to offer Omega X a chance to re-enter the training chamber in order to help improve his techniques even better, they were shocked to realize that he declined the offer and would rather train myself on earth.
The others were just as speechless at Omega X's decision. Was he just plain crazy or did he have something up his sleeve and he's not telling anybody his secret.
Celesta X was just as shocked as the others were, but perhaps even more shocked. She thought that her brother's fusion form was enough to put away such a powerful force such as Virus.
However, X didn't seem at all surprised by Omega X's declaration. He could feel a strong ki coming from Omega X.
"Yes, you are definitely up to something, Tai. I know you are."
Leomon looked right at Omega X with a concerned look on his face after uncrossing his arms.
"What? You mean you've had enough use of it? You're not going in again?" asked Leomon.
"You do realize that you can enter. Maybe this fusion might wear off and it will eventually render you helpless in the upcoming War Games," said Gennai.
"No. I'm fine. We'll just take this time just to kick back and relax," Omega X replied, "Sure, we'll train here and there but what's the point of it? Even we heroes need a little vacation. Don't you guys agree?"
"But why?" asked TK, "You can still go in for another day."
"The body has a lot to suffer while being in that room, even without doing everything," said Omega X, "Then I can't have a good rest. Plus we're very heavy sleepers."
"Ha! So you admit your weaknesses!" exclaimed Matt, "Poor Tai and Agumon can't even bear suffering in that room?"
"If you look at it in your own perspective," said Omega X, "Even if we force ourselves to tolerate it, its just pain. That's not practice. But we don't object you're going back into that room. There's still room for more improvement."
"What?! I don't think I heard what you just said. It seemed like you meant that you two are more powerful than Gabumon and me in our fusion form!" exclaimed Matt.
"Sure, we're way above you."
"What?!"
Omega X looks over towards Matt and simply smiles right towards him, in order to further infuriate him. Matt, as usual, stood there while clenching his fists tightly in sheer anger.
"Well I for one agree with you're decision," X stated.
"Huh?! You actually favor his decision?!" Dimitri asked.
"Yes. It might not be a wise one, but I can't argue with my student. After all, he might actually have a secret weapon up his sleeve. Hell, I can predict that even Virus won't be able to see this one coming."
"What's the surprise, Tai?" Gabumon asked.
"Well, look at the time! Whew! Lets all work very hard," said Omega X, "See you all at the competition in nine days."
Omega X looks over towards the other Digi-Destined and the digimon. He looks over to Leomon and Gennai. Then he looks down at Celesta X.
"I'm going to be leaving now, Kari," said Omega X, "But I'll be back. Remember to keep your ki level at a constant level, in order to remain in your fusion form. Remember what I taught you."
"Don't worry. You have my word for it," Celesta X said.
Omega X nods and then places his fingers on his forehead. His body started to phase away slowly as particles of matter.
"TIME WARP!"
With that said, Omega X is gone within the speed of light itself and makes his exit out from the training grounds on Azulongmon and back into Earth's dimension.
"I just hope you know what you're doing, Tai," Kari said in Celesta X's thoughts.
Just then, TK and the others, all came around and examined Celesta X's new feminine image. The exceptions were X, Dimitri, Matt and Leomon. She looked down at all of them with a look of bewilderment.
"Man. I never thought the fusion of Gatomon and Kari would turn out this hot," said Gennai said, "I must say, you guys did great work…"
"Hey Kari, can you hear me?" asked TK.
"Of course, silly," Kari's voice spoke out from within Celesta X. "So what do you think or our new look?"
"Not bad… Kind of like a dream girl… Come… Ok! Ok! I didn't mean it that way!" exclaimed the blonde-haired boy.
Celesta X stood giggling and looking over towards Matt and Dimitri. A sigh came over her and she soon realized that Matt was more determined than ever to out beat Tai when it comes to the power of digital fusion.
"Shit! Every time, we reach a new level of power and status, Tai is always there to overwhelm me with these new techniques and he's able to increase his fighting power without breaking a sweat! He's always been there, laughing at my face! Well, that's all going to change," Matt thought.
Suddenly, everyone noticed Matt clenching his fists and his chest glows a blue metallic glow. Leomon takes notice of this and was about to speak.
"You're going to have to wait your turn," Leomon said, "Because it's my time to enter. So I suggest you to get some rest here."
"Bah. You're so foolish. I'll just wait, even though I know this is just a waste of my time," Matt exclaimed, "Now hurry up and get in that damn chamber. Or I'll have to drag your ass in there myself."
"Oh Matt. If only you didn't have to use me as a tool in your little grudge against Tai," Gabumon said to himself.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the Digital World's realm, a peaceful morning sun was rising over the clouds and the dawning of the afternoon would soon arrive. And there was so little activity occurring in the great forest. However, all of that would soon change.
Just miles away from the dimensional portal leading into Azulongmon's world, there was a large picnic blanket laid out. Tons of fresh snacks and treats were sprawled all across the picnic blanket. Then two people were sitting along while watching the Digital World's beautiful scenery. It was none other than the two Digi-Destined, Ken and Yolei.
They decided to take a break from fixing Black War Greymon and were told so by Izzy, since he offered to work on Black War Greymon for the time being. Yolei and Ken were getting much closer to each other and were becoming the best of friends. Sure, Davis and the others have managed to hang out with Ken, but nobody has gotten closer to Ken than Yolei has.
Ken was most comfortable when telling about his problems to her only and felt that she was compassionate enough to give him some guidance on how to live a better life after committing horrible acts when he was the Digimon Kaiser.
"So, was this your idea?" asked Ken, "I mean we should be helping Izzy in repairing Black War Greymon."
"I asked for this. I felt that we've been working too hard with Izzy and he finally let us have a time to relax. Besides, it's the best possible solution to get our minds off of the upcoming War Games tournament."
"Oh. Well, so, what do you want to talk about?"
"I don't know. But I'll tell you one thing…"
"What's that?"
"I don't want to see you beat yourself up and blame yourself for all the things you have done in the past."
"Yes. I'm glad you understand the real 'me'. I've never wanted to harm the Digital World."
"Right. Shadramon used you as a puppet, but those days are over. You've changed a lot, Ken."
Ken looks to the skies and nods. He started to think of everything that has occurred during the past three years since the last time he was the Digimon Kaiser.
"Now I realize that there are threats looking to consume our worlds," Ken said.
"That's right and it's our duties as the Digi-Destined to stop them. We may not have been around to participate in the first battles that the other original kids had, but we are going into a new battle now. Perhaps our biggest test to date. We have to defeat Virus or the two worlds will be gone."
"And that's why we can take this time to relieve ourselves of this stress and then prepare for the big day."
"Perfecto! Now you're catching on, Ken. No more stress. Just relax."
Wormmon and Hawkmon looked towards each other with smiles across their faces.
"Don't you think we should be training?" asked Hawkmon, "After all we only have about eight and a half days."
"We should but we also need to relax," Wormmon said, "I agree with Yolei on this one. We just need to relax."
"You're right. So you want to go gather some grub in the woods," Hawkmon asked.
"Sure and don't plan on eating me. I'm one grub you don't want to get your filthy beak on."
"I promise."

Back in the earth's realm, Omega X finds himself in the middle of the air while hovering above a large desolate landscape.
"Cool. There are no forests around here. We can't afford to knock out anymore forests that are home to wildlife," Omega X said, "Well here goes nothing!"
Suddenly, Omega X started to shake while clenching his fists. He lets out a raging scream and then a huge wave of energy came shooting out from his body. A bright golden aura forms all over his body, which allowed him to power up even further.
"Mach Speed Times Sixty!"
The aura around him quickly turned into a fiery, crimson red color instead of gold now. His eyes were fueling with blood, red coloration. The sands below him started to rise up due to the huge amounts of gravitational energy during this ki level increase. Omega X powers up even more as dusts and rocks started to encircle him. He lets out another scream and then a huge wind comes blowing away the sand of the desolate landscape.
***************************************************************************************
The other Digi-Destined and their digimon felt the incredible ki increase that was occurring even from the Digital World itself. It was now obvious that Omega X's power could easily be sensed among two worlds without any problems. This was simply just an incredible feat, even for a fusion level warrior such as Omega X.
Suddenly, the skies were becoming completely black as a result of this and a tremendous force that manages to shake up the ground that they were standing on hits the entire group.
"What is this ki coming from?!" asked TK frantically.
Azulongmon quickly appears from out of his hiding spot and makes his presence felt. He too was able to sense the ki that belonged to Omega X. He sure wasn't going to miss out on the chance to read his new ki level after training in the training chamber.
"It's Omega X! All of this energy is coming from him alone," replied Azulongmon.
The group all gasped in total shock at they were just old by the mighty guardian. Even he was speechless at the increased ki level that Omega X was able to achieve in such a training facility as the chamber room of time itself.
Dimitri gasps while Matt stands there with an angry look on his face. It was now clear that matt was just as angry as ever after Gabumon warned him of the upcoming power increase coming from Omega X. Not only has Omega X become stronger than Metalla X but also proving it too.
****************************************************************************************
Omega X continues on powering up as the rocks and debris start to rise above from the ground. Even Wormmon and Hawkmon sensed his ki and were just as shocked as the others were at this very moment.
Ken and Yolei felt the ground shake. They began to wonder what it was and they figured that it was just a minor earthquake but then Wormmon and Hawkmon came screaming towards them.
"Ken! I can feel Omega X! This is his ki!" exclaimed Wormmon.
"He's right, Yolei! And he obviously is done with his in-chamber training. His power is unbelievable!" exclaimed Hawkmon.
"I can imagine," said Yolei.
"He's more than ready to face Virus by himself," Ken replied, "I really do believe that he will be the one that puts Virus away for good!"
A few seconds pass and Omega X stops powering from to his maximum level. He felt his body aching and power surging through his veins. His power was now fully intact and supplied after this major upgrade power. He started to catch his breath and holds in his breathe.
"Yes. That's what we needed! Now I can go rest my body out and train in the next two days. I better take a slow step at a time then," Omega X said.
With that said, he continues on his travel through the Digital World in search for a place to rest out his strained body. He needed rest just as much as he wanted to train, both are very important in building up a very powerful warrior and Omega X was certainly no exception to that.
"Mark my words, Virus. Your days will come!"
****************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined all look on from the viewing orb and gasped at what they just saw. Even Celesta X was just as shocked as they were, even when she was in the training room this whole time with her brother.
"Wow, I've never seen him reach to that maximum level before, that's just simply amazing," Celesta X said to herself.
"He's powerful indeed!" exclaimed TK.
"Besides, they haven't shown their true power yet. If he has…" Leomon was about to finish saying.
"Amazing… Maybe they can beat Virus," replied Dimitri.
"We won't know for sure," X replied. "Until that day comes, we can't judge how much power Omega X has gained. We must never underestimate the enemy. We have yet to find out Virus' maximum strength."
Matt growls to himself angrily and clenches his fists. He looks up into the darkened skies and stomps the ground.
"Damn it! Tai is always one step ahead of me! It's really driving me nuts! I thought that I'd caught up by now! Now Omega X is ahead of me again!"
Matt looks over back towards the other Digi-Destined and the digimon as he cried out angrily.
"Leomon!"
Leomon turns to face Matt and looked towards him as if he was about to say something but Matt spoke up first.
"Come on! Go in if you want to! You're wasting our time!" exclaimed Matt, "Get into that damn chamber room now."
****************************************************************************************
Back at the Digital World, Yolei and Ken were quite relieved to know that the earthquakes all a sudden ended. But they were relieved that Omega X didn't use his power increase to actually destroy the Digital World. He would have if he pushed himself too far.
"Are you okay, Yolei?" asked Ken.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Looks like the worst is over for now," Yolei said.
"Yeah. I say we take a little walk through the forest to clear our minds."
"Great idea, Ken!"
"Ladies, first."
"No. No. After you."
Yolei goes on and walks ahead of Ken with a smile on her face. Ken goes and follows her along. Hawkmon and Wormmon both look on with smiles on their faces.
"Ooo. I can see it now," Hawkmon said.
"What?" Wormmon asked.
"Don't you see what's going on?!"
"They're walking together, so?"
"Doesn't that tell you anything?!"
"Maybe they like each other. Who knows?"
"That's beside my point, Wormmon."
The two Digi-Destined continued their long walk across the forest. Ken looks to make some eye contact with Yolei but he was too shy to even let Yolei know what he thinks of her.
"Man, what should I tell her? Do I really like her,"pondered Ken.
"He's looking at me pretty funny. Does he really have a thing for me? I mean… Ok, he's cute and… Wait did I just say cute?! Ugh, there I go again. But there's something that is drawing me closer to him and I can't point my finger on what it could be… Wait a second… Could I be falling for Ken? Well I might as well tell him…"
"I think I better tell Yolei, now. Here goes nothing."
"Yolei, I…"
"Ken, I…"
They both faced each other and had their eyes locked with one another. Yolei looked deeply into Ken's blue, starry eyes and she felt like getting closer to him.
"He's got such a cute smile and such gorgeous eyes. Ohhhh, could I actually be falling in love… Impossible… Yolei knows no such thing… But this… Could be quite an exception… He's just too cute to reject…"
"What if she does like me… and I'm too afraid to ask her…"
"Ken, there's been something I've been meaning to ask…"
"Yeah same here, Yolei."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Just as soon as they were drawing closer to each other, they got closer and touched each other's hands and then there was an erupt sound in the background. It sounded almost like a meteorite collision. Ken and Yolei gasped at what they saw.
"What was that?" asked Yolei.
"I don't know but I'm going to check it out. You stay here."
"Ugh. I don't think so. I'm going too!"
The two Digi-Destined headed off towards through the forest. They pushed away the brush that got in their way and as soon as they reached to the middle point of the forest, they came across a large, crater with what seemed to be a large red ball of energy.
"What is that?" asked Yolei.
"I don't know. But there's a negative energy coming from it. It could be dangerous. We better go and tell the others about this."
Suddenly, the red ball started to crack up as if it were hatching. But what kind of thing would hatch out of a large shell such as that? Only one way to find out was for Yolei and Ken to watch what was now about to come out. A silver fist goes punching right through the red core of the ball. Then the whole ball started to crack open and explode. Ken and Yolei fell down as they shielded their eyes.
Hawkmon and Wormmon both sensed the explosive energy as they headed off to the direction of where the explosion took place. They also had a feeling that their partners were over at that location.
"That was one whopper of an explosion!" exclaimed Hawkmon.
"Let's hope that Ken and Yolei are alright!"
"Agreed!"
Just then, Ken and Yolei saw a familiar figure emerge from the large ball. As the smoke cleared, there stood a metallic monkey with a funky-looking hairdo and Japanese kanji on his chest. He also wore shades and had quite the sinister grin on his face. It was none other than…
"Yo! Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! I've returned and the monkey man is back in town! Uh huh!"
Ken and Yolei both rose to their and gasped at what they say. They saw none other than a metallic monkey with a bad Elvis-impersonation.
"Who the heck is that?" asked Ken.
"Ugh! Wait, I've heard about this guy from TK," Yolei said.
"Ha! Ha! Let's kick this shiznit up! Metal Etemon is back in 'da house!"
"Ah! I knew it! I forgot his name! It's Etemon!" exclaimed Yolei, "But aren't you supposed to be dead?!"
"I used to be Etemon but now I'm new and improved! Now I'm Metal Etemon! Uh huh! Thank you! Thank you very much!"
"Gah! Just what we needed, new and unimproved!" exclaimed Hawkmon.
"Hey! It's about time you two got here," Ken said.
"We'll take care of him!" exclaimed Wormmon.
"Right, this guy isn't that tough. Not compared to the bad dudes we've faced so far," said Hawkmon.
"All right! Are you ready to go back to where you came from, Etemon!" Yolei cried out.
"Well! Before we get down to business! I might as well explain how I became me!"
Suddenly, Metal Etemon pulled out a microphone and gets into a rappers stance.
"It all started when I was down in Digimon Limbo! Yeah! I'm the King of Rock N Rolla! Then, I was given another chance from the dark man downstairs and he gave me the power that I need to get revenge on you, Digi-Destined! I'm the Ayotolla of Rock N Rolla! Yeah! Yeah! I'm the man! I'm the monkey man! Metal Etemon! Yeah!"
Ken and Yolei both covered their ears to revert themselves from listening from such horrid music as that from Metal Etemon. Both Wormmon and Hawkmon were on the ground with sweat drops coming down their heads.
"This guy was actually a threat to the original kids? This guy makes even Chris Jericho look good. If Eminem or DMX saw him just now, they would have shot his ass."pondered Yolei.
"This guy is nuts, but he could be dangerous. We must take him out now," Ken thought.
"Hawkmon! Let's take this guy down! Armor up!"
"Yes, Shurimon shall do the trick!"
[Armor-evolution theme "Break Up!" plays]
Yolei's d-terminal activated as the Digimental of Sincerity came shooting out towards Hawkmon and allowed him to armor-evolve into his armored form.
"Digimental Up!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka!"
Hawkmon goes through his transformation as the images of Palmon's normal digivolutions appeared around him. Then Shurimon came into being and was ready to fight.
"Shurimon! The Samurai of Sincerity!"
"Wormmon! Go!"
Ken's D-3 powered up and it allowed Wormmon to evolve into his champion-level form.
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
"This should at least be a warm up for our upcoming battle against Virus!" exclaimed Yolei, "Shurimon! Let's layeth the smacketh down on his…"
"Ok, I got your point, Yolei," Shurimon said as he flew into the battlefield. "There's no need to rip off the Great One."
"So, it's a smack down you want? Then you're going to get one!" Metal Etetmon replied.
Metal Etemon saw both Stingmon and Shurimon coming right at him as the two digimon attacked the metallic mega with furious punches and kicks being thrown at him. Metal Etemon easily maneuvers away from their head on attacks. Metal Etemon goes flying right at Shurimon and nails him right in the gut with a closed fist. Stingmon goes flying right behind Metal Etemon but then Metal Etemon easily grabs him and tosses him down to the ground.
"Ugh! He's better than we thought!" Yolei exclaimed, "But we have a few tricks up our sleeves!"
"Double Star!"
"Spiking Strike!"
The two attacks nailed Metal Etemon head on but they were still not enough to put away the metallic monkey as he easily swipes them away. Shurimon goes flying right at Metal Etemon and throws more of his Double Stars but Metal Etemon was able to maneuver away from them. Stingmon goes and rapidly kicks Metal Etemon in order to stun him long enough for Shurimon to make his next move.
"Screw this," exclaimed Yolei, "Time for a little fusion power! Shurimon! Let's do this!"
Shurimon quickly de-evolves back to Hawkmon and Yolei pulls out her D-3. It began to glow up and it allowed Hawkmon the chance to evolve into his champion-level form.
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
[Digimon 02 Jogress-evolution theme "Beat It!" plays]
Yolei held out her D-3 and pressed it against her chest. Her body started to glow a red aura and the same happened with Aquillamon. They were now about to merge with each other.
"Aquillamon! Fusion Shinka!"
Then they came together in a single flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, Silphymon appeared in their place.
"Silphymon!"
Metal Etemon stood there laughing as he charged up for his next attack. He held his hands back a black energy ball was forming.
"Oh yeah?! Well, I got a few tricks of my own! I didn't stay in hell just to sing and show off my wonderful talents! I really trained myself! Uh huh!"
"Geez! Your really annoying us! Have a little taste of your own medicine!" exclaimed Silphymon with a mixture of Yolei's and Aquillamon's voice.
Metal Etemon bends his attack into a beam and shoots it straight out towards Silphymon but Silphymon held his hands back and formed an energy ball with tons of ionic energy in them. He then shoots it toward his adversary.
"Static Force!"
Both blasts met head on but Metal Etemon quickly phases right at Silphymon's side and takes advantage of the distracted fusion ultimate. Metal Etemon delivers a kick to the side of his head and sends Silphymon flying back.
"Ugh… Ken! Stingmon help!"
"Now it's time for you to die! Uh huh!"
"No! Yolei," exclaimed Ken, "I won't let him hurt you!"
"Ken! Don't!" Stingmon cries out.
Ken goes running towards where Silphymon was laying but then Metal Etemon stepped in his way with a black energy ball forming in his hands.
"No! If only I had the power to fuse with Wormmon! Then I would beat this creep up and let him know who's boss! Nobody hurts my friends! Not even Yolei! I only hope there's a possible way… I need to save my friend!"
Just then, Ken's D-3 started to glow and then Stingmon's body was glows a neon-green aura of light. Ken could feel his heart beating all of a sudden. He looked over to Stingmon and watched him glow and then he looked at his own body. It was glowing as well. He also found out that his Crest of Kindness was also emitting a purple aura.
"Incredible. My crest is glowing already?! I can feel my heart beating… Wait I can also sense Stingmon's ki. So this is how fusion works, two bodies put together. We're a indestructible fighting machine… Yolei, hang in there! I'm coming!"
[Jogress Evolution theme "Beat It!" plays]
Ken held out his Crest of Kindness and pressed it against his chest. His body started to glow a neon green aura and the same happened with Stingmon. They were now about to merge with each other.
"Stingmon! Fusion Shinka!"
Then they came together in a single flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, a creature that looked similar to Stingmon stood there but he was more hunched back. A dinosaur-like tail suck out from his backside and two arms that looked similar to Xveemon's appeared at the front. They were now Dinobeemon.
"Dinobeemon!"
[Dinobeemon. Fusion Ultimate Level. Virus Type. Special Technique: Hell's Masquerade]
Just as Metal Etemon was about to put the finishing touches, Dinobeemon comes flying in and nails a flying kick right to Metal Etemon. The metallic money goes flying back and then Silphymon quickly gets to her feet.
"Thanks, um… Ken?! Stingmon?!"
"Yolei! It's me! Stingmon and I were able to fuse after we saw you two in danger. We couldn't stand to see you getting hurt and we used our friendship for you to help us fuse."
"Wow, so you must really care for me, if you wanted to save me…"
"Of course. But we got some unfinished business with a monkey, are you up for it?!"
"You bet! Let's send this Elvis reject back where he came from!"
"I'll show you who the Elvis reject is around here! I'm the true king around here and not to mention a living legend!"
"Oh bite me!" exclaimed Silphymon, "Static Force!"
Silphymon shoots out an energy blast and watches as it nails Metal Etemon right in the chest. Suddenly, Ken and Yolei both notice a few cracks on the metallic mega's chest. It was from earlier ago after being struck by both the Double Star and Spiking Strike attacks.
"Ok, Yolei! I found the weak spot on this guy! We used attacks earlier to put a dent into his shiny armor. He maybe made out of chrome digizoid but Double Star managed to inflict some damage. Now it's our chance! Aim for the chest!"
"Well you didn't have to tell us twice!"
"C'mon! I'm ready for a little round two! Uh huh!"
"You are pissing me off! Ugh! Static Force!"
"This will be the final blow and never come back again! Hell Masquerade!"
The Static Force attack busted open the front portion of Metal Etemon's armor as he goes flying back. He freaks out to when he sees his chest breaking apart.
"No! My beautiful luster! Why does this keep happening to me?!"
"Face it! Your just a third-rate loser! And this world won't miss another loser like you. Ta-ta!" exclaimed Yolei who was within Silphymon
The Hell Masquerade went right through Metal Etemon as he let out a scream and watched as his body was quickly shattering away right before his very own eyes.
"No! This can't be happening! I'll get you if it's the last thing… I doooooooo…"
As soon as he was about to finish, Metal Etemon was quickly deleted from the face of the Digital World. Silphymon and Dinobeemon both stood in triumphant.
"Yay! We did it, Ken! Perfecto!"
"Mmmhmm! So how do you like our new fusion evolution?"
"It's rad! You look so cool! But whew, that fight managed to burn off some of those calories that I wanted to work off of."
"Ditto here. Well, looks like we still have to play hero even during a time of peace. A new lesson we must learn."
"Yeah. Yeah. Let's get back to our normal selves and get back to our little picnic. I'm starving! And let's hope ants didn't get to it first."
"Ha! Right I know what you mean!"
****************************************************************************************
Ken and Yolei both resumed their picnic and managed to use some of their time wisely to spend more time together before actually heading back to the real world to help Izzy rebuild Black War Greymon.
"So, what did you think of us working together, Yolei?"
"It was fun and I really enjoyed kicking that no good Etemon loser! Ugh! He's so retarded!"
"Well, I enjoyed it and that fusion we could have performed was probably out of my friendship and my feelings towards you, Yolei."
"Aw, well. That's very sweet of you, Ken."
"Yeah. It was…"
Yolei looked over to Ken and noticed him blushing. She smiled and puts her hand over his cheek. Ken looks over to her and smiles. She smiles right back to him.
"Um, Yolei… don't you think… we should… be getting… back…"
"Ken… Just kiss me…"
"What?!"
"C'mon, don't be shy. I won't bite…"
"Uhhh… Yolei?!"
"Please… Let's just get this over with…"
Ken nods and obliges to her statement. He leans forward and towards Yolei's face. They meet face to face until they meet each other's faces. Then, they kissed each other right on each other's lips. Hawkmon and Wormmon watch on from the background with smiles on their faces.
"Wow, he has such a gentle touch. No wonder he has the crest of kindness. That crest doesn't lie, he is gentle and kind."
"That wasn't so bad, at least, for that last moment. So, what now?"
They both smiled at each other and sat with each other while looking up into the sun starting to set and nightfall beginning to replace the daylight. Soon, it was going to be yet another new day in the Digital World. Two lovers show their compassion for one another and it now makes them an even stronger team to deal with.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Virus was standing on his platform stage and watched as the ninth sunset has taken place. There was only a mere eight days before the final showdown is about to take place. The War Games will soon take place and the fate of two worlds shall be determined.
***************************************************************************************
December 23, 2004
Morning rises in the city of Odabia and another passes. There are now about eight days left until the big War Games competition being held sixty miles from Tokyo by the evil Virus. This competition shall determine the fate of two worlds.
Davis was sound a sleep in his bed with Demiveemon on top of him. He had just gotten back from the long meeting with the Digi-Destined and decided to take these few days to relax before getting ready for the competition.
Just as they were taking a very peaceful nap, a loud cry came out from the living room and it was coming from none other than Davis' sister, Jun. Davis opened his eyes and slowly got up from his bed.
"Davis! Hurry up! You got to see this!"
"Ugh? What now? Can't she see that I'm sleeping? Damn…"
"Your sister sure has got a big mouth…"
"You're telling me. You should she when she tries out for singing classes. Now that's even worse."
"Ugh. I can't imagine her singing!"
Davis walked out through his door while rubbing his eyes. Demiveemon came following him into the living room. They both noticed Jun looking over at the television screen.
"Ok, now why did you have to drag me out of bed for, Jun?"
"Take a look at this!"
"I hope it isn't that reality show crap. I still think Survivor is needs to take a break."
"No. No. It's not that! Look!"
Davis turned to face the television and he quickly gasped at what he saw. He saw a dark tower and several digimon just near the city district of Odaiba.
"No way! How did they get here,"Davis said to himself.
"This is bad, Davis! I just hope the others are watching this!" exclaimed Demiveemon.
"No kidding!"
***************************************************************************************
Yes, even, the other Digi-Destined were watching the news bulletin concerning the appearance of digimon and dark towers in many parts of Japan. They couldn't believe it and thought those were just illusions used to trick them.
But they were more real than they thought. Now they would have to go out and save the day as heroes once again, even way before the big competition occurs. Was this a ploy created by Virus if was there something going on in the Digital World that even the children had no idea of what could be happening?
"This is not good! Armadillomon! There's digimon appearing from one place to another!" exclaimed Cody.
"We should go out and do something about, Cody! I'm not about to just sit here and let this happen!"
"You're right! Let's go!"
***************************************************************************************
TK and Patamon were watching the news as well and they were listening to every word that the news reporter was saying. Now even more bad news came along the way.
"We've had quite a week of hell! First what many claim as terrorists attacked Kyoto, people catching a deadly virus, and a unknown monster that we now know as Virus has arrived and declared a competition known as the War Games. But now this, just twenty-four hours later, there are now monsters appearing all over Japan. And this just in, now monsters are even appearing in different parts of the globe!"
"Ah! No way!" exclaimed TK, "Don't tell me this is happening!"
"Digimon are arriving in this world but by who, I have no idea," said Patamon, "Somebody is opening a digital port for them. I can feel it."
"You think so?"
"Otherwise, digimon wouldn't be entering this world without some digital port for them to go through."
"Lets just hope that the others are listening to this," TK, "I'm going to try to contact the others. This maybe the dirty work of Virus himself."
***************************************************************************************
"Monsters are now in appearing in large cities across the globe. Sightings have now been reported in Hong Kong, New York City, Paris, India, Chicago, Dallas, Mexico City, Moscow, Australia, and even in islands in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. And sources have claimed that not even armed forces and jet fighters can get even close to these creatures. We advise you to stay indoors until we can give you further updates on this situation."
Yolei clenched his fists tightly and nodded her head. She turns the television off and looks down at her D-3.
"Ugh! I can't believe this is happening. Well, its time to play hero even during this time of peace," Yolei said, "Are you up for this, Hawkmon?"
"Unless, you're up for it."
"You bet. Let's go!"
***************************************************************************************
Izzy looked through his laptop monitor and noticed many digital ports opening up throughout the globe. He couldn't believe his very eyes and he could just helplessly.
"Izzy? What's wrong? Did you're computer freeze again?" asked Tentomon.
"No, it's worse than that. Look at this! Digital ports are opening all over the world! There's no way we're going to keep up with each of them! They're rapidly appearing and more digimon are entering our world. I wonder who could have opened the Digital Port?! These holidays certainly haven't been looking bright for our sake," said Izzy.
"We better contact the others pronto!" exclaimed Tentomon.
"Right. I'm going to let them know right away!"
Black War Greymon looks over at the television screen and observes digimon appearing throughout the globe. If only he were fit to fight, then he could lend a hand in stopping these wild digimon.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in Azulongmon's world, Gennai stood right in front of the towering Holy Beast himself as he looked down upon him. Several digital cores were floating all around him. The guardian speaks under a thunderous tone, which was enough to make someone shake in out of their wits, but not with Gennai. He knew that he had a job to do.
"A huge crisis is occurring in the real world. Digimon are somehow appearing and through digital ports of some sort. I know that this isn't the work of the other guardians, Baihumon, Ebonwumon and Zhuiqaomon. Virus is definitely involved, without a doubt," said Azulongmon.
"What makes you think that it is him?" asked Gennai.
"Don't you see? He contains the data and the DNA of the Digi-Destined. So he has inherited the ability to open up digital ports much like the Digi-Destined can do using their D-3s or digivices. But unlike the children, Virus doesn't need any of those. He has the power within him."
"I see and why have you summoned us? Did you come up with some sort of plan?" asked Gennai.
"Yes. I am now about to give you one of the four digital cores from long ago, they managed to reconfigure themselves. Now I want you to take it and it will enable the Digi-Destined to allow their digimon more power to fight off these digimon invaders and send them back through the digital ports that they came from. And I have even offered a gift to the one named Veemon. Be sure you find him, its something that will help the children."
"You have my word for it. I will carry out your wishes," Gennai said.
Just then, Gennai saw a digital core appear right in the palm of his hands and he carried it around his side. He kneeled and quickly phased out.
Matt came out from his corner and turned to look right up at Azulongmon.
"So you think this will work?" asked Matt.
"Let's hope so. The children will need a lot more than just the training room to face these plagues. Don't you think that you should be with them at this moment?"
"It will work. The digicores will certainly benefit our situation," X replied. "Matt, you sure you don't want to go with them to stop the invading digimon?"
"Don't be ridiculous! I'm not going to waste time helping them stop weaklings. I'm here to wait for Leomon to getting done with that room. I will see to it that Gabumon and I reach to a new level power and out beat Tai in the process."
"Here, I can give…"
"Please. I'm not looking for an easy way out," Matt replied, "I'm going to work my hardest to earn the power. So, I thank you but no thank you."
"He's such an arrogant young man, but if that what he wishes, then so be it. I hope he realizes that there are others counting on him," Azulongmon said to himself.
"Don't worry, Azulongmon. He has too much pride blinding him. He'll get over it. I think getting beaten by Virus and surpassed by Tai really has aggravated him to the point where he might lose his sanity," X telepathically replied.
Dimitri looks over towards his young father and sighs deeply. Faith lays right on him and starts sleeping.
"You think we should go help?" asked Faith.
"You're right. Its only right that we lend a hand as well," Dimitri said.
"Go right ahead, boy," Matt said, "But don't come crying back if you get your ass kicked."
"Mark my words, I'm not going to fail!" exclaimed Dimitri.
With that said, Dimitri and Faith saw a digital port opening and entered right through it in order to make it to earth's dimension to help his friends against this new digimon invasion.
"I don't need any anybody at this very moment. I can fend for myself, such like I always have. Screw that clown, Tai,"Matt thought.

Back inside, Leomon was catching his breathe while practicing his training and he attempts to increase ki level at a very rapid rate. But he will have a very hard time and it certainly won't be easy for him at this very moment.
****************************************************************************************
Ken and Wormmon found themselves running across the streets of Tomoachi. He looked across and could see a large group of people running away from what seemed to be a digimon. It was a large, digimon in shining armor.
[Knightmon. Ultimate-Level. Warrior Type. Special Techniques: Berserk Sword & The Duel]
"Oh no! It's Knightmon! Watch out! It's Berserk Sword will drive you crazy!" exclaimed Wormmon.
"Then we'll drive him crazy! Time to digivovle," said Ken.
Ken pulls out his D-3 and it started to glow. Now it gave the power for Wormmon to evolve into his champion leveled form.
[Digimon Adventure Digivolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
Stingmon goes flying right at Knightmon and attacks him head on. Knightmon easily stands there without a single scratch on him. He then pulls his fist back and goes to punch Stingmon but the insect digimon quickly phases away. Stingmon reappears from right above and purple blade appears at the tip of his fists. He then goes flying right down at Knightmon as if he were a torpedo ready to launch at something.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon nails Knightmon head on but only managed to push him back a few yards. Knightmon simply stood there and rams his fist right at Stingmon, sending him flying back.
"Aw no! Stingmon! He's an ultimate-leveled digimon! You better watch it!"
"Right. If only this guy had any weaknesses!"
****************************************************************************************
Sora and Joe both came across to what seemed to be a group of lobster-like dragons. Garudamon and Zudomon stood in their way and easily fended the fiends off.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of these Ebidramon!" exclaimed Garudamon.
[Ebidramon. Champion-Level. Aquatic Type. Special Technique: Twin Neptune & Lobster Step]
"You two better get away from here and let us handle this," said Zudomon.
"Right! You be careful!" exclaimed Joe, "Let's go Sora!"
"Alright!"
Zudomon picks one Ebidramon up and then tosses him right up into the air. Zudomon goes flying up and then rams an elbow right into its gut. Garudamon goes flying at two Ebidramon and shoots out her Wing Blade attack to stun them for a bit.
"We must not kill them, but return them to where they came from," said Joe, "But the question is. How will we return them back?"
"We're going to need one of the newer Digi-Destined to open a digital gate through a computer of some sorts to return these wild digimon back," Sora said.
"That does it, we'll just have to get one of them here with us," Joe said, "Hopefully Davis is very close by."
****************************************************************************************
Davis and Xveemon both found themselves in quite a mess as they came face to face with none other than a Triceramon ready to attack them at any moment.
[Triceramon. Ultimate-Level. Horned Dragon. Special Techniques: Tri-Horn Attack & Body Blow]
"You know what to do, Xveemon!" exclaimed Davis.
"Right! Let's tango, ugly!" Xveemon taunted his adversary.
Triceramon growls and goes charging right at Xveemon, but the blue digimon was able to quickly phase away just in time. Xveemon reappears right above Triceramon. He folds his arms into his chest and them releases a V-shaped laser.
"V-Laser!"
Triceramon sees it coming and it quickly deflected at the top of his face shield. Xveemon growled angrily as his laser was quickly fizzled out.
"Aw this sucks! That was like not quite fair! C'mon Xveemon!" exclaimed Davis.
"Hey! I'm the best I can do… Ahhh!"
Triceramon goes charging right at Xveemon and lashes out his tail at him. Xveemon goes flying back into a wall and crashes really hard. Xveemon lays sprawled on the ground with a severely broken back.
"Ugh! Davis! I need a little boost here!"
"That's not a problem! Here we go!"
Davis held out his D-3 and it started glowing. Xveemon felt his body glowing a blue aura and then Davis felt the same way. They faced each other and were now beginning to fuse.
[Jogress-evolution theme "Beat It!" plays]
Davis held out his D-3 and pressed it against his chest. His body started to glow a neon green aura and the same happened with Xveemon. They were now about to merge with each other.
"Xveemon! Fusion Shinka!"
Then they came together in a single flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, they were now Paildramon and ready to fight against the wild digimon.
"Come and get it, Triceramon!"
Triceramon goes charging right at Paildramon but the fusion warrior quickly leaps over him and unleashes grappling hooks onto the rapid beast. Triceramon under Paildramon's tight hook grips and managed to give Paildramon a wild ride.
"Yee-ha! Now, that's what I like to call a smack down!"
Paildramon unleashes his laser cannons and pointed them right over at Triceramon. He quickly increased his ki and several ki blast were shooting out.
"Desperado Blaster!"
Triceramon watched as several shots were shooting down right at him and slowing him down, giving Paildramon enough time to attack once again and grab the monster by his horns.
"Yeah! We got the Triceramon by his horns!"
Suddenly, the Triceramon shrugged Paildramon right off and pushes him right into a nearby building. Paildramon goes crashing through a building and then Triceramon prepares to make his next move.
Just then, Gennai appears from on top of a building and holds up the Digital Core in his hands. He watches a flash of light came right out of the core and spread throughout the city of Odaiba.
"Look! It's Gennai!"Davis exclaimed to himself, "He's unleashing some kind of power out of that core! Let's take advantage and use the power of the core! It could really help us!"
"Right! Let's take it! I see the light coming this way!"
As soon as he said that, a flash of beam was glowing all around Paildramon and his ki was quickly starting to increase.
"Davis. I can feel my power increasing. I think it's giving us the boost to finally evolve into our mega level form! And I thought we would have to enter the training room in order to achieve that power, well this is it! It's time to go mega, Davis!"
"Then let's take it and use it to our advantage!"
[Digimon 02 theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Paildramon began to glow as a large, Shenron-like dragon appeared out of nowhere and phased right through him. Paildramon spun around as an aura of bright light surrounded his body. He looks up and the goes flying. His body grows even larger and more bulky than ever.
"Paildramon mega shinka!"
Now, a large dragon with gigantic wings, a large cannon on his back and a much more menacing looking appeared in Paildramon's place. This was now his mega form. He lands on the ground and his body starts to surge with large amounts of electrical energy.
"Imperialdramon!"
"Wow! This is our mega form?! Imperialdramon!" Davis thought. "Heh! Heh! How cool! Now let's take care of business!"
[Imperialdramon. Mega-Level. Ancient Dragon Type. Special Technique: Positron Laser]
"Davis!" cried out a voice.
Imperialdramon looked over to see Omega X, Celesta X and Dinobeemon coming over towards him. They all stopped and looked at how gigantic Davis' mega-leveled fusion form was.
"So, guys, how do we look?!"
"Not bad! Hey Davis your going to have to open a digital port since only us new kids are able to do so," said Dinobeemon.
"No problem Ken. Alright, you hear that Imperialdramon?!"
"Right on cue!"
Triceramon goes charging right at Imperialdramon but the large dragon easily catches him with on hand and shoots out a beam towards an abandoned computer on the side of a nearby street.
"Whew, luckily we managed to find a computer lying around."
The digital port opened up in the computer and Imperialdramon easily tosses Triceramon right through the digital port. Imperialdramon closes the gate up.
"Nice job," Omega X exclaimed, "Now lets go help the other all across the city."
"Digi-Destined!" Gennai called out.
"Hey, Gennai, what's going on? Why are digimon appearing in the real world in such large numbers," asked Celesta X.
"This is perhaps the work of Virus. So it is our job to clean up this mess. Digi-Destined you all now are to go throughout certain locations in different areas of the globe and stop the invading digimon. From there, you will open digital ports and send the digimon right back where they came from."
"So, what destinations have you located for us to go?" asked Dinobeemon.
"X helped pinpoint the locations for me. The areas include New York City, Hong Kong, Australia, Paris, Mexico City and Moscow! You all are to go and do what you can to sending these wild digimon back to where they came from. No telling why Virus did this, perhaps to warm you guys up for the upcoming War Games."
"Well, he's certainly not going to do us any favors when we kick his sorry ass on the big day. He's going to pay for what he's done!" exclaimed Omega X.
"Alright. There's no time to lose, Digi-Destined. You must all go out and save the world once again," Gennai said.
"Right! Let's head out gang," Celesta X.
"Allow us," Imperialdramon said.
Suddenly Imperialdramon goes flying up and powers up his cannon. His ki was also going up at the same time. He charges up his cannon and shoots out a powerful ray of energy. Then the ray spreads out into several beams that shot out and destroyed the many dark towers all over Japan.
"So who is this?" asked Dinobeemon.
"Imperialdramon. He will be a big help in your conquest across the globe. I hope you use this wisely. Good luck, Digi-Destined," Gennai said as he quickly phases away.
"We're on our own guys," said Omega X, "but we got ourselves a job to do."
"Right! Time to get the others together and we'll all be heading out," Imperialdramon said he flew out in the speed of light.
***************************************************************************************
Silphymon, Ankylomon and Angemon all took out the last remaining wild digimon in Odaiba by sending them back into the Digital World through the help of their D-3s.
"Look! Oh my god! That thing is huge," exclaimed Silphymon.
"Who is that," pondered Cody.
"It's us. We are now Imperialdramon. We all received major power ups from Gennai and a digital core. Plus we got to move out towards the entire globe to stop the wild digimon. We have good understanding that Virus is behind this whole scheme. We must hurry. Let's go."
"Wow, Davis. I never thought you had that in you," said TK.
"Heh. Well, TJ, I just happen to be so awesome now. Ok, but we got to hurry now. Let's go!"
Ankylomon and Angemon quickly reverted back into their rookie-leveled forms. Silphymon diverts back to his separate entities, Yolei and Hawkmon.
****************************************************************************************
After taking care of the last remaining wild digimon in all of Japan, the group all met up in the middle section of Odaiba. Now they were set to go off towards their destinations, across the globe and stop the wild digimon as soon as possible.
The whole group, with the exception of Matt and Gabumon, gathered and got on top of Imperialdramon. The giant dragon lifted up into the skies and flew right across the skies in the speed of light.
"Alright gang. First, we drop everybody off in a different destination. Davis, you and me meet up with Mimi and Michael in New York. Sora and Omega X will go to Moscow. Ken, you and Yolei head to Mexico City. Celesta X. Izzy. You two go to Hong Kong. TK. You and Patamon go to Paris. And last, Cody. You and Joe will go to Australia. Any questions?"
"Yeah. You think you could have said all that much slower. You were like rambling on. I couldn't understand a dang word you were saying!" exclaimed Yolei.
"Ugh. Not again, Yolei! Ok, we'll explain much slower this time. Happy?"
"Very. Thank you…"
Now the Digi-Destined are setting off towards their destinations across the globe, will they stop the wild digimon and come back just in time for the War Games?!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
A Digimon World Tour, Part I
Outside of the Earth's Atmosphere
Deep in space, the planet known as Earth spins in a rather slow rotation and everything seems peaceful. Not even a single trace of planetary disasters approaching Earth, but there is quite a disturbance occurring within its atmosphere. Because, within the clouds, the light speed fast Imperialdramon was making its round trip around the world.
The Digi-Destined were on the mission and they hope to accomplish this mission right before Christmas day arrives. There was a world crisis occurring and the children had to act fast before the world turns into a mass of digimon invasion chaos.
"Alright, guys! This is it! I hope you know which destination you are supposed to arrive at. We're going to use some of our energy to blast away every single trace of the dark towers throughout the earth," Imperialdramon said.
With that said, the large dragon started powering up to maximum power and energy was starting to come out from his cannon. The cannon then releases a large wave of energy.
"Positron Laser!"
The energy blast then bends into a small, thin laser beam and it quickly begins to spread out into a showering mass of energy. The mass starts to spread across the entire planet and then each dark tower that stood in each location on earth were quickly blow away out of commission. Now this would allow the digimon to remain in their champion, ultimate and mega leveled forms while exploring each destination that they were assigned to look after.
"Alright! Now we got a huge advantage in case we have to go into battle," Omega X exclaimed, "Nice thinking!"
"I just hope we can pull through this at least before Christmas. These holidays haven't exactly been that bright this season," Celesta X said.
"I know what you mean Kari," replied Omega X, "But I promise we'll have a very peaceful Christmas at least for now. We're going to make sure everybody has a peaceful Christmas."
"He's right. Lets also do this for our families as well," said TK.
The group all nodded in agreement and would win this battle for not only themselves, but for the people of Earth, the digimon and their own families. Christmas shall not be destroyed as long as they are here to protect the people that they care for and love.
"Ok! We're drawing near Mexico City!" exclaimed Imperialdramon, "Yolei! Ken! That's your queue!"
Ken hopped onto Stingmon while Yolei got onto Aquillamon. The digimon went flying off and down towards the location near Mexico City.
"Good luck you guys!" exclaimed Cody.
"Now, onto Paris!"
In a matter of minutes, Imperialdramon stopped around the location of Paris, France. Here, TK and Patamon would investigate and find any wild digimon to get rid of.
"Alright! Fasten your safety belts! Next stop, Moscow!"
"Geez! Just don't go too fast. I've losing my lunch in here,"Davis said in Imperialdramon's thoughts.
Imperialdramon flies over towards Moscow at the speed of light. He then stops in order to drop off both Omega X and Sora. Birdramon flew right off of her back carrying Sora along the way. Omega X goes flying down to follow them.
"You think you can handle the cold, Sora," asked Omega X in a teasingly manner.
"Very funny, Tai! You're lucky to even to be inside of Omega X and remain cozy in there but believe me, this coat will help me a lot."
"Geez, lighten up, Sora. Just looking on the bright side, at least Birdramon can keep you warm."
"I guess, you're almost never wrong then."
"Hey, aren't I always?"
"Not always."
"Oh Sora."
Imperialdramon flies right off towards his next location: Hong Kong. As he arrives there, he quickly drops off both Izzy and Celesta X over to that location. Next, he flies right over towards down the southern section of the world. He stops by Sydney, Australia and drops off Joe and Cody there. Armadillomon and Gomamon would accompany them along the way.
****************************************************************************************
New York City, New York
Soon, the dragon carrier goes off towards North America, where he would arrive in New York City to meet up with Mimi and Michael. Nearly three years, this city was amidst of a terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers. It was day no one would ever forget. Since then, the towers were on the verge on being reconstructed. America was still going strong despite these events, thanks to our brave soldiers. God bless America. Imperialdramon made his way over towards their destined location.
"Ok, Davis! This is it! Fasten your safety belt!"
"Oh man! This is going to be one bumpy ride! I didn't even pay for traveler's mileage!"
Imperialdramon flies right down towards the ground and on an airport stop. He looks across his surroundings and turns to see none other than Mimi and Palmon rushing up to them.
"Whoa! Is that you, Veemon?" asked Palmon.
"And um, where's Davis?" Mimi pondered.
Soon, Imperialdramon powered down and then separated into his two separate entities, Davis and Veemon. The two look over towards Palmon and Mimi.
"Hey Mimi! We came here as fast as we could. So, where's Michael?" Davis asked.
"Well, he should be here anytime now…"
But soon, Mimi was cut off as Michael came rushing towards them and screaming out to get their attention.
"Hey guys! Over here! You guys better take a look at this pronto!" exclaimed Michael.
"I wonder, what the heck is up," Davis said.
"Maybe another digimon invasion. That's why we came here, did you get a email from Gennai?" asked Veemon.
"Yeah. He said that the others are off in different parts of the world, stopping the digimon invasion," Mimi said.
"Right ad we firmly believe that this is the dirty work of none other than that creep, Virus," said Davis, "C'mon lets go see what Michael found."
The four headed off towards to see Michael and find out what he was looking at. As soon as they got there, they found a migration full of wild digimon on the streets of New York City. They all gasped in shock at what they were seeing before their very own eyes.
"This is nuts!" exclaimed Veemon.
"Your telling me! This is a lot worse than a crowd during Christmas shopping! Man, this is out of control! Well, guys! Its up to us to stop these wild digimon before they go on a rampage!" exclaimed Davis.
"Not so fast, Davis. These digimon don't seem to want to attack at all. In fact, look. They're confused and they have no idea how to get back to the digital world," said Michael.
"Good point. Now we're just going to have to find a way to send them right back into the digital world. We can't do this all alone," Mimi replied.
"Well then, maybe I can help," said a voice.
The group all turned around to see a man unveiling his hood and relieving his face. It was none other than Gennai himself.
"Yo! Gennai! I'm so glad you came to help us!" exclaimed Davis.
"Ha. Ha. Sorry, kid. I didn't mean to get you mixed up with my friend, Gennai. My name is Benjamin. I'm one of his counterparts. I've come to help you send these digimon with the use of this laptop."
"But you two do look alike," said Veemon, "Are you like half brothers or something?"
"Geez, these Gennais are starting to remind me of those Jedi Knights. Do you happen to watch Star Wars, Benjamin? You're the name of the guy who fought Vader in Star Wars."
"I think we can save the Star Wars questions for later. I'll explain later. Now we have to join up with the other American Digi-Destined and together, we'll send these digimon back home where they belong."
"Right! So, are you up for a little rumble, Veemon?" asked Davis.
"You bet! I'm ready!"
"Ok, I've just picked up the digimon's location. They are now heading towards Times Square," Michael said.
"Aw man! And over towards Madison Square Garden! I've only been there once in my lifetime but I don't want to let them destroy such a historic place," Davis exclaimed.
"Whys that?" asked Veemon.
"Because I went to a soccer game once there. The best game of all time, besides my own."
"Um, they hold soccer games in the Garden?" asked Mimi, "I don't recall hearing about soccer games taking place in the Garden. But that's besides our point, he's right. That and every single piece of architecture are very valuable here! So lets go!"
"Plus, they've held three WrestleManias at the Garden! I remember the one where Shawn Michael fought Razor Ramon in a ladder…"
"Davis! We don't need to hear that," Michael stated. "We have to complete our mission!"
"Damn. I so ready to talk about my favorite ladder match of all time!"
The children each held out their digivices and D-3s as they powered up to give their digimon the ability to evolve into their ultimate and champion-leveled forms.
[Digimon Adventure Digivolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Palmon shinka! Togemon! Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
"Betamon shinka! Seadramon!"
The three digimon headed out towards the location of Times Square, where a group of wild digimon was discovered. Among those beasts were Cyclomon, Kuwagumon, Shogungekomon, Tyrannomon and Dark Tyrannomon.
"Oh man! This isn't going to be easy! Xveemon, be careful," exclaimed Davis.
"Go get them, Betamon!"
"Lillymon! Make sure that they're stunned long enough for us to send them back through the laptop!"
"Right!" the three warriors said in unison.
Xveemon went over towards Cyclomon and Kuwagumon. The two digimon went to double team Xveemon but the mighty lizard was able to mow them with a double clothesline. Xveemon picks up Cyclomon and tosses him right up into the air. Xveemon quickly phases out and reappears above Cyclomon and delivers a stomp into his chest. Cyclomon goes flying down into the ground and crashing down. Xveemon goes and flies down right over towards Kuwagumon. Kuwagumon goes and tries to slash at him with his Scissors Claws, but Xveemon saw him coming. Xveemon quickly phases right out and reappears right in front of Kuwagumon. He then presses his arms against his chest and releases a powerful beam right at the insect.
"V-Laser!"
Kuwagumon goes falling down to the ground next to Cyclomon. Xveemon stands triumph over the two and looks over towards the others to see if they needed a hand or not.
Seadramon wraps himself around Tyrannomon and begins to squeeze the breathe right out of him. Tyrannomon struggles and manages to blow his Fire Blast in order to get Seadramon right off of him. Seadramon makes a comeback and then fires his Ice Blast to but the dinosaur's fire out and freeze him at the same time. Seadramon then rams himself into Tyrannomon, in order to immobilize the wild beast.
Lillymon flies right through the two lumbering giants, Shogungekomon and Dark Tyrannomon. She then turns around and the both of them turn around to face her. She puts two hands right in front of her and ball of energy forms. She starts to power up her ki level and increase the mass of her energy ball.
"Ok boys! Have a little taste of my own attack! Hope you like! Flower Cannon!"
Lillymon shoots out two massive energy blasts and sends them flying right at the two giants. They stood there as the blasts nail them right in their chests. Within seconds, they both go falling down and become unconscious as a result.
"Yeah! Score one for the good guys," exclaimed Davis.
"Its not over yet, Davis," Michael said.
"Huh, why not?!"
"He's right. Take a look over there," said Benjamin.
The children all looked over towards the city streets and saw digimon walking through in a large migration. Suddenly there were blasts being fired over around that location.
"I'm sensing digimon going into battle," said Xveemon, "Davis! There's other digimon that need our help! They're trying to defend the area and sending these wild ones back into their world!"
"Alright guys! We better head on over there! No telling, what kind of help that they may need," exclaimed Davis.
They all nodded in agreement and ordered their digimon to go to investigate the occurrences over towards the migrating digimon's location. The children, along with Benjamin, headed off over towards that certain location.
As soon as the three digimon stopped at their location, they came to find a Tortomon, a Frigimon and a Centaurumon fighting other wild digimon. And the children were surprised when they located some American children over with those three digimon.
"Tell me, Benjamin, are those Digi-Destined as well?" asked Mimi.
"Yes. And they somehow became Digi-Destined when they viewed the battle between yourselves and Burizalor many years ago," said Benjamin.
"Lets lend them a hand, you guys!" exclaimed Xveemon.
They headed into battle to help the other American Digi-Destined in the heat of the battle itself.
"Say, who are you," asked a girl, who was standing next to her Centaurumon.
"We'll give introductions later, but first we have to send these digimon back to where they came from!" exclaimed Lillymon.
"Alright! Lets do this! C'mon, give us your best shot!" Xveemon shouted.
Just then, a Cherrymon came into view and looked over towards the six digimon. Xveemon steps forward and gets into a fighting stance. Cherrymon holds out his hand and an orb-like ball forms in his hands. He tosses it right towards the six digimon, but they were all able to move out of the way.
"You guys take the others. This big tree bark is mine!" exclaimed Xveemon, "Looks like I'll be getting my own Christmas tree this year!"
Cherrymon goes charging right over towards Xveemon and goes to elbow him, but Xveemon quickly maneuvers to the side. Cherrymon turns around and gets met with a spinning back kick by Xveemon. Cherrymon goes staggering back, and Xveemon goes flying right towards him. He then delivers a headbutt into the tree's gut.
Lillymon, Centaurumon and Frigimon face three other wild digimon. These were three wild ones Ookuwamon, Woodmon and a Drimogemon. Lillymon goes flying right at Ookuwamon and shoots out several ki blasts right at the gigantic insect. Lillymon appears right above Ookuwamon and forms an energy ball in her hands. She then releases the mass of energy and sends it right at the beast. Lillymon watched as Ookuwamon stood there frozen still for a few moments as it fell down to the ground. Frigimon shoots out his Sub-Zero Ice Punch and is able to immobilize Woodmon with it for the moment being. Centaurmon shoots out a blast and is able to stun Drimogemon.
Seadramon goes flying right at Monzaemon and shoots out his Ice Blast to take the gigantic bear down with tremendous ease. Tortomon goes charging right at a Tankmon and sends it flying back into a nearby tree to completely knocks it out of commission.
"Yeah! You're doing it, Xveemon!" exclaimed Davis.
"Great job, Seadramon!"
"Way to go, Lillymon! Now lets send these digimon back to where they came from."
"I'm right on it," said Benjamin.
Xveemon delivers another kick to Cherrymon and shoots out several more ki blasts right at him to keep him immobilized and allow Benjamin more time to activate his laptop.
"Alright! Stand clear everyone!" exclaimed Benjamin.
The whole group and their digimon all moved away to the side. Benjamin's laptop began to light up and all of the wild digimon were quickly being sucked right back in, in which they would be sent back to the digital world in the process.
"Alright! We did!" exclaimed Davis, "One city down! Plenty more to go!"
"That should do it," said Benjamin, "Alright, every single trace of the wild digimon have now been sent back into the Digital World.
"Thanks, you really saved our necks there," said a boy standing next to his Tortomon.
"So you three are the only Digi-Destined here," asked Davis, "Besides Michael of course."
"No. There are plenty of us. My name is Lou," said the boy standing next to Tortomon.
"I'm Maria. And this is my partner, Centaurmon.
"I'm Steve and my partner is Frigimon."
Suddenly, a small boy comes walking out with a FlareLizamon at his side. He runs over towards the group and joins them.
"Hey guys! We're glad you decided to help us! I'm Phil and this is my partner, FlareLizamon!"
"Hi! The pleasure if ours," said Davis, "My name is Davis. We save our own country in Japan. We're glad to know that there are other Digi-Destined kids out there besides us."
"We've only been doing this for a couple of years now but this was the first time that we actually sent our digimon into battle," said Maria.
"That's right. We have no idea how they showed up." replied Steve.
"All that matters is that the digimon invasion here in New York is over," Benjamin said, "And now the other Digi-Destined should be able to take care of their business. But lets hope that they can delay the wild ones' progress."
"I'm sure of it. We are quite a resourceful bunch," Mimi replied.
"Now I leave it up to you. Good luck, Digi-Destined," Benjamon said as he quickly fades away and out of the earth's dimension.
"Well, you two were quite the help. Thanks guys. Now I think we better head out and help the others at the other parts of the globe. Wish us luck," said Davis.
"Bye!" the American Digi-Destined cried out in unison.
"Good luck, Davis!" said Mimi.
Davis and Veemon headed out towards the same location that they arrived at, there they can fuse together into Imperialdramon and continue their progress throughout this time of crisis. Now it was up to them to pick up each group from their locations.
"We are a resourceful bunch. We saved the Digital World many times. Now its time to save our own! It's just so cool to know that there are people worldwide there to lend you a hand! I guess being a Digi-Destined makes you a very responsible and reliable person. God Bless America."Davis said to himself.
With that said, they were ready to depart New York City and head out towards other locations across the globe in order to help those in help.

Digital World. Azulongmon's Training Grounds.
Matt and Gabumon stood at a platform while waiting for Leomon to finish up his training. Dimitri looked over towards his young father and sighs.
"Just have patience young father. You're time will come. Trust me. We're not going to let Virus win this war. Just have some patience,"Dimitri said in thought.
"Good! The wild digimon in New York City have now been sent back into the Digital World," X stated.
"So I take it that Benjamin successfully aided Davis, Mimi and Michael. That's good to know," Gennai replied.
"Great! So, now they're having progress with this situation after all," asked Dimitri.
"Yes and it will be a matter of time before they get every single of the wild ones back into the digital world. It won't be easy, but then again, the children are always able to rise to the occasion many times. They will get this done," Azulongmon said.
"That's for sure. Its obvious that Virus is doing this to test us," said Dimitri, "We want to see how we would react to a period of crisis. That's so like artificials like him, spreading fear and torture."
"Yes, but unlike in your time, we have a chance to kick some artificial ass," said X.
Dimitri stood nodding his head in approval and looking across towards his young father, Matt. Matt looks back towards him and turns his back on him. Dimitri sighs and sits right back down as they both waited for Leomon to finish training himself in the chamber room
***************************************************************************************
Hong Kong
The civilians were running from something that was attacking the city. But there was just one digimon attacking. That being none other than Mojiyamon. Three boys all turned to face him with their digimon at their side.
"We are the Poi Brothers! We're not going to allow you to attack this city!" exclaimed the three brothers.
Mojiyamon growled and charged right towards them. They all stepped to the side and their digimon, Octomon, all shot out three Ink Blasts right at Mojiyamon. The furry beast goes down as his body was now completely covered in ink.
"Now, its time to finish him!" cried out the oldest brother.
"No! Don't hurt him!" exclaimed a voice.
They all looked up to see none other than Celesta X and Altur Kabuterimon coming right down towards them with super speed. The two digimon landed on the ground as they turned to face the Poi Brothers.
"Please, don't hurt this digimon. He's just frightened and confused at the moment," Celesa X said.
"Um… and just who are you?" asked the middle-aged brother.
"Hello there! We're Digi-Destined as well, since you can see that we too have digimon," Izzy said.
"Oh and this one. She looks pretty hot but she's not a Digi-Destined," said the younger brother.
"Well… Actually… We are… I'm a Digi-Destined and a digimon. We're combined in our fusion form. We are Celesta X, Amazing Grace of Light!"
"Whoa… She sure looks sexy… Um I mean, that's really awesome," said the oldest brother, "So why have you come?"
"We came here to stop the digimon invasions that have been occurring here. You see, this whole world is in danger."
"We know. That Virus creep showed up on television all over the world. I'm willing to bet that this could be one of his tricks," said the middle-aged brother, "I know terrorists like himself are up to no good."
"Well then. Can you help us on our mission," asked Izzy.
"We would appreciate it if you did help us," Celesta X said, "We can't hurt these digimon and my powers alone could easily wipe out an entire army. So will you help us without harming them?"
The three Poi Brothers all huddled together and were discussing what to do next. They whispered to each other and were thinking of whether to help Izzy and Kari out. They huddled out and turned to face them.
"Alright, we shall help you," replied the oldest brother.
"Great! Let's get started right away!" Celesta said, "We really appreciate it."
The three brothers then nodded and all blushes towards Celesta X. Their eyes forming heart-shapes and Celesta X could easily tell that they were drooling over her.
"I really wish I didn't have to stay in this form for too long,"Kari said,"But if its to help me in the final battle, then I better remain in this form."
"Ok, first, we need to send this Mojiyamon back where he came from," said Izzy as he holds out his laptop.
He activated the digital port and Celesta X held out her hand. With that done, the digital port was easily opened up using Celesta X's own power.
"Thanks Kari. Alright, time to go back home where you belong," Izzy said.
Suddenly, a huge digital portal opens up and it sucks Mojiyamon in like a vacuum cleaner. Izzy closes it open and then jumps off of Altur Kabuterimon.
"So, where do we get started it," asked the middle-aged brother.
"Well, we've got a problem over in India and I just received an email from a girl named Mina. She needs our help right away," exclaimed Izzy.
"Lets get going," Celesta X replied, "Lets go guys!"
"Uhhh… right away," the three brothers said in unison while falling in a sort of love trance.
***************************************************************************************
Many Miles away in India. Border Between India and China
An Indian girl alongside a Meramon was standing off with a large group of digimon. But in their path was a large Chinese army.
"What are we doing standing around, Mina?" asked Meramon, "Shouldn't we make our move right about now?"
"But if we do that, then we could start a war," Mina replied.
"Hey! You down there!" exclaimed a voice, "You! Are you the Mina girl who sent us the email?!"
Mina looks up to see Altur Kabuterimon and Celesta X along with the Poi Brothers. Altur Kabutiermon carried the brothers and their digimon on his shelled back. She waves wave to them to get their attention.
"Yes. Thank you all for coming," said Mina, "We wouldn't have gone through all of this trouble if you hadn't arrived."
"Sure, we help out fellow Digi-Destined in need," said Izzy.
"Alright, now if we send any of you guys towards the army, then they'll think that your going to attack them and they're going to retaliate," said Celesta, "No offense Altur Kabuterimon and Octomon. But people don't normally react when they see giant monsters coming right after them."
"None taken," replied Altur Kabuterimon, "So how are we going to get through?"
Celesta X stood there thinking and then she gasped after a thought came into her mind. Now she would come up with a really good idea of helping her friends into crossing over the borderline and avoid any interaction with the Chinese army.
"Hey! I just thought of a great idea," exclaimed Celesta, "Poi Brothers. Just send one of your Octomon and have them write a message to let the Chinese army know that we're not going to attack and that we really need to crossover in order to find these wild digimon a safe location to return back to their homes."
"Alright. I shall send my Octomon," said the oldest brother.
He motions over towards his Octomon and tells him the whole plan. Octomon nods in agreement and slowly walks over towards the middle of the border grounds. The Chinese army watched and stood their guard. Octomon pulls out his ink gun and then shoots out a coat of ink onto the ground. The ink then started to form some Kanji-lettering, A.K.A. Chinese writing. The Chinese army took a good look at the message.
"They've just wrote some kind of message, sir," a private cadet said to his general.
"I know. But I'm still thinking whether to let them by or not. They're posing any kind of a threat to us," the general said, "Very well then. Let them through."
The Chinese army all moved from their positions and allowed the group to crossover. A large cheer was heard among the group as they were now allowed to pass right through.
Izzy and Celesta X both lead the entire group in through the border as they finally entered into China and migrated over towards a safe location, in order to return the digimon back home where they belong.
Moments later, Izzy found a good location within a giant water fountain. He opened up his laptop and looked over towards the whole digimon group.
"Alright, looks like its time to…"
But then Izzy was soon cut off from a voice that calls out to them. They all turned to see Gennai running towards them.
"Hey its Gennai!" exclaimed Izzy, "We're glad that you came."
"Actually my name is Jackie. I'm Gennai's Chinese counterpart. By the way, don't bring up any Star Wars references. My friend Benjamin had to set it straight for Davis."
"Uh, typical Davis," Izzy muttered.
"We're ready to send these digimon back into the digital world," Celesta X.
"Please allow me," replied Jackie as he opens up his own laptop, "Digital port open!"
With that said, a digital port opened up and sucked in the digimon right in like a vacuum cleaner. Soon, the only digimon standing was the three Octomon and Tentomon.
"Our job here is finished," said Celesta X, "We would like to thank you Poi Brothers."
"Yes, we appreciate your help and we hope that you have a safe journey back home," said Jackie.
Suddenly the three brothers all argued with one another on who should take Celesta X out into their town in Hong Kong. Celesta X overheard the conversation and giggles to herself.
"Oh boy. These guys are desperate on sending out on a date. Well they have no idea that I've been taken. Oh well."
The whole group laughed while the brothers continued arguing on forth to see who would win over Celesta X. But they seemingly are failing and have no chance of taking the beautiful Celesta X.
"They seriously need girls. Sorry, boys, but I'm taken."
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the Digital World, dusk is coming forth and the artificial demon known as Virus is still waiting. He stands there in the middle of his platform stage with his arms crossed. He looks up into the dark skies with a rather annoyed look on his face. Only seven days were away around the area that he was at. It looks like his little scheme of unleashing wild digimon into the real world was giving the Digi-Destined quite a hassle during their time of relaxation.
"Only seven and a half days left, then the games shall begin. Maybe I should have the event five days earlier. Oh well, a promise is a promise."

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
A Digimon World Tour, Part II
December 24, 2004 -Christmas Eve-
Sydney, Australia
It was a nice and sunny afternoon down in the southern parts of the world, even down in Australia. The waves were crashing against the sands and surfers were quickly becoming numerous by the dozen. But now the area was cleared for the Digi-Destined, Joe and Cody, to clean up a mess that was brought from the Digital World.
Joe and Cody walked up towards a dark tower that stood right in front of them. Digmon and Ikkakumon came out of hiding and were now prepared to destroy the ever annoying, tower of darkness.
"All right Ikkakumon!" exclaimed Joe, "Let him have it!"
"Take it down!" said Cody.
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Gold Rush!"
The two attacks came flying right at the dark tower and it easily knocks down the large monument. Within seconds, the tower shatters into digital data and disappeared out of existence.
"All right! We nailed!" Cody exclaimed.
"And it looks like our job has been done here," said Joe.
"Hold on! I'm picking up some weird vibes over in the ocean over there," Ikkakumon said.
"Right! Somethin' is obviously going on over there! Lets go check it out!" exclaimed Digmon.
The two digimon headed over towards the ocean and they turned to see a boy sailing away on a boat. And along with the boy was another than Crabmon.
"Hey look! There's a boy with a digimon with him! But I wonder what he is running… Er sailing away from," said Joe. "Australia is reported to have the world's worst shark attacks."
"Well, we're definitely not here for any shark attacks. Forget about sharks! Look! I see three digimon on his tail!" exclaimed Cody.
They both looked over to see three digimon swimming right after the boy and his Crabmon. It turned out to be none other than Ebidramon, Gesomon and Shellmon.
"Hey! Put a peddle to the boat! You guys can swim a shore over here!" Ikkakumon shouted.
The boy sailed the boat over towards shore where Cody and Joe were waiting. He jumps on the shore with Crabmon at his side.
"Hey! You guys managed to save my neck there! Thanks! By the way, my name is Derek and I'm an Australian Digi-Destined."
"Hi! We're also Digi-Destined, but we came from Japan. My name is Joe Kido."
"My name is Cody Hida. And these digimon are ours. This is Digmon, the armored form of Armadillomon."
"And that's Ikkakumon, the champion-leveled form of Gomamon."
"Pleased to meet you! And this is my digimon Crabmon. He's a rookie-leveled, crustacean. His attacks include Magic Scissors and Crab Meat Bomber."
"I think we should save introductions for later because looks like we got company!" exclaimed Cody.
They all turned to see Gesomon, Ebidramon and Shellmon facing off against Crabmon, Digmon and Ikkakumon. Something was now obviously going to go down and this fight would not be pretty.
"Oh man! Looks like they have us out beat!" exclaimed Derek.
"I don't think so! Ikkakumon fire away!"
"You too, Digmon!"
Ikkakumon goes right after Gesomon, while Digmon goes to attack Ebidramon. Crabmon maneuvered away from hand swipes that were being thrown at him by Shellmon. Crabmon was no match for a champion-leveled monster such as Shellmon.
[Digimon Adventure Theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Crabmon shinka! Coelamon!"
"Coelamon?!" the other children exclaimed.
[Coelamon. Champion-level. Ancient Fish Type. Techniques: Fossil Bite & Ancient Bite]
"Yes that's right," a mysterious called out from behind, "He's a champion-leveled, ancient fish. His attacks include Fossil Bite and Ancient Bite!"
The children all turned around to see a person that looked exactly like Gennai, but could they be even sure that it was Gennai?"
"Gennai? Is that you? Man, you always pick the right time to lend is a hand," said Joe.
"Sorry for my mistake, but my name is Hogan. I am Gennai's Australian counterpart."
"Hey, that name reminds me of the guy from the movie Crocodile Hunter," Joe stated. "That's one of my favorite movies."
"Well, whoever you are, you came at the right time!" said Cody, "We're taking these three goofs down! They don't even seem that tough! Digmon get him!"
"With pleasure! Rock Cracking!" exclaimed Digmon.
Digmon drills into the ground and causes it to cave in which causes Ebidramon to fall down into a deep pit that was created as a result of this. Digmon then goes over to help Ikkakumon.
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
Ikkakumon shoots out a missile and sends it right at Gesomon, which causes the aquatic monster to fall down in defeat. Now it was down to Shellmon.
"Alright! I've just about seen enough of you!" said Coelamon, "Fossil Bite!"
Coelamon shoots out several spikes out of his fins and sends them flying right at Shellmon and manages to nail him right before he would curl up back into his shell. Shellmon's eyes were glazed over as he fell to the ground with a large lump on his head.
"Yeah! We did it!" exclaimed Joe.
"Score one for the team!" exclaimed Cody.
Suddenly, something started to rise from the ground and a large crustacean appeared out of nowhere. It was none other than Scorpiomon.
"But now! You have to get through me, Scorpiomon!"
[Scorpiomon. Ultimate-level. Ancient Crustracean. Special Techniques: Twin Blade, Sand Storm & Tail Blade]
"Oh no! He's an ultimate-leveled type! Ikkakumon time for you to digivolve!" exclaimed Joe.
"Digmon, time for Ankylomon!"
[Digimon Adventure digivolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
Digmon quickly de-evolves back into Armadillomon and he was now ready to evolve into his champion-leveled form.
"Armadillomon shinka! Ankylomon!"
Ankylomon and Zudomon both went into attack Scorpiomon but the large crustacean was able to take them both down with his devastating Tail Blade. Both Zudomon and Ankylomon go flying back into the ground. Coelamon was up next as he goes charging for Scorpiomon.
"Hey arachnid! Over here!"
"You dare to call me an arachnid?! Take this! Tail Blade!"
Scorpiomon sends out two blade-like objects and watched them make full contact with Coelamon, sending the little champion digimon away
"Ha! Looks like I win this little game!" exclaimed Scorpiomon.
"Not for long! We're sending you back into the Digital World, where you belong," Cody said as he clenched his D-3, "You're just going to have to beat us with the best of your ability! Ankylomon! Get up!"
["Brave Heart" ends]
Suddenly, Cody's D-3 started to glow and release a large energy wave. It goes straight towards Ankylomon and it suddenly causes a aura of light to form all over his body. Then Cody watched as his own body was started to glow a bright yellow aura color.
"Whoa! I can feel their ki level increasing! Could this be what I think it means," said Zudomon.
"What the hoo-ha is going on here?" asked Derek.
"Just watch and see," Hogan said, "Here's a moment that you international Digi-Destined have been waiting for."
[Digimon 02 Jogress Evolution theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
Cody presses his D-3 against his chest and his body starts to become a form of data and then he fuses together with Ankylomon as they start to evolve together.
"Ankylomon jogress shinka to!"
In their place stood a tall, sort of teacup like creature with a fascinating-looking design. It looked more like some sort of Chinese teacup but it was a digimon indeed.
"Shakkoumon!"
"Whoa! That's one hell of a tea pot!" Joe said. "I could go for some right about now!"
[Shakkoumon. Fusion Ultimate Level. Mutant Digimon Type. Special Techniques: Justice Beam, Kachina Bomb & Harmonious Spirit]
"That's more than just a tea pot. That's Shakkoumon, the fusion, ultimate-leveled form of Ankylomon. His attacks include Justice Beam, Kachina Bomb and Harmonious Spirit!"
"Whoa! Lets just hope that he'll put away Scorpiomon for sure! Zudomon, lend him a hand!"
"No! We shall take him by ourselves!" exclaimed Shakkoumon, whose voice was a combination of Cody and Ankylomon's.
"The teapot wants a piece of me?! Well then, come and get it!" exclaimed Scorpiomon.
Shakkoumon slowly hovers over towards Scorpiomon and holds out his arms. Scorpiomon circles around Shakkoumon and shoots a large ki-blast right at Shakkoumon. But as soon as the beam goes closer towards Shakkoumon, he quickly sucks the beam right into his chest and he quickly swallows that energy up. Shakkoumon hovers and stares right down at Scorpiomon.
"Take this hot shot! Tail Blade!"
Shakkoumon watched as the blade-like attacks bounced right off of his chest and this quickly catches Shakkoumon by surprise.
"But, that's impossible!" exclaimed Scorpiomon.
"Are we done with these games, because I think its now my turn," said Shakkoumon, "Justice Beam!"
Shakkoumon shoots out a powerful beam and sends it right at Scorpiomon, stunning him at the very moment. He turns towards Zudomon and motions over towards him.
"Now it's your chance, Zudomon," said Shakkoumon.
"With pleasure!"
Zudomon pulls out his huge hammer and goes flying right towards Scorpiomon. He quickly phases out and reappears right above Scorpiomon and nails Scorpiomon right in the head with his hammer.
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
Scorpiomon gets easily laid out and he falls to the ground with a glazed look in his eyes. Zudomon and Shakkoumon both stood triumphant over the fallen monster.
"All right, Zudomon!" exclaimed Joe.
"So that's the power of fusion that I keep hearing about," said Derek.
"That's right and this is just a little taste of what you will be seeing at the War Games competition in nearly seven days," said Hogan.
"We did it! Now all we have to do is send these digimon back where they belong," said Shakkoumon.
"Right. Allow me," Hogan replied.
Hogan opens up his laptop and then he types in a code that opened up the digital port that leads directly and have direct access to the digital world. Hogan holds out the laptop and watched as a beam of light comes shooting right out of the computer and sucking in all of the wild digimon that were causing trouble. Now Australia was cleared up of the wild digimon infestation.
Suddenly, they turned to see a large ship coming towards their way. On board on the ship was a group of Australian Digi-Destined along with their own digimon at their side. They all waved towards Shakkoumon and the others.
"Our job here is done," said Shakkoumon.
"I just hope nobody sings that teapot song. Now all we have to do is wait for Imperialdramon to pick us up and we can then go find the others. But I wonder why they even call Australia, 'Down Unda'?"Cody said in Shakkoumon's thoughts.
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Training Grounds
The others that weren't getting involved in the recent global incidents decided to remain here to resume training. One of those was none other than Matt and Dimitri.
Matt started to pace back and forth around. Dimitri, Faith and Gabumon both watched him and turned their heads all around to follow his every movement.
"Why has Leomon been in there for so long now?!" exclaimed Matt.
Matt stopped right in front of the door and pounds his fists on it. He looked rather desperate of entering the chamber room and will get his training done, so that he will face Virus in the long-awaited rematch.
"He probably got himself killed. That fool!" exclaimed Matt.
"It hasn't even been twenty-four hours yet," replied Azulongmon, "He still has time."
"We only have nearly seven days left. You can wait, Matt. Why don't you take a breather, Matt?" X replied.
Matt starts kicking the door frantically, in hopes of knocking it right down.
"There he goes again," Gennai muttered.
"Keke isn't going to like this when I tell her," X replied. "He needs to get over this obsession."
"Damn it! I won't let him be even a second late."
Matt turns and walks into another direction with a rather impatient look on his face.
"Otherwise, I'll break the door down and drag him out myself."
Suddenly, Azulongmon turns around and sighs a relief. He looks to see the chamber door open and Leomon standing right outside the door. His training has now been completed.
"He's out!"
"He's gotten a bit stronger," X said. "Way to go, Leomon."
Matt stopped for moment to face Leomon. Then Dimitri, Faith and Gabumon looked on over towards the door to see Leomon walking out slowly with a determined look on his face.
"So, you finally are willing to come out?" asked Matt.
Leomon stood in front of the door, with everyone except Matt looking right at him in awe. Matt walks towards the door as Leomon quickly exits it.
"All right, it's our turn now, Gabumon."
The blue-coated digimon nodded as he walks on over towards his human partner and enters the training room. Matt looks back over towards Leomon with a smile on his face.
"Wow. Leomon is much more powerful than before. I'm willing to bet that he's as strong as we are,"Dimitri thought.
"Well, by looking at you, you don't seem to have changed much," Matt remarked, "What have you been doing in there? Sleeping? Oh well. The result of our training will be much different than yours."
"Remember Mat. You only have a day left in that chamber. You better make it worth the while," X replied.
"If you stay in that room any longer than a day, then you'll be trapped within forever," Gennai replied. "Even the room has its limitations."
Leomon turns and then glares right at Matt. Matt closes the door with a huge grin on his face. As soon as he closes the door, he looked down and clenched his fist with pure intensity.
"Watch it, Tai. Metalla X is going to become much better than Omega X hopes to be," Matt said in thought.
Matt and Gabumon head on over towards the empty space within the room, in order to begin their long training and preparation of the big War Games competition that is all set to come in seven and a half days.
****************************************************************************************
Paris, France
The streets of France were so peaceful and quiet at the moment. Recently, France was criticized for not aiding the Americans in the war against Iraq. Since then, America has had mixed feelings for France's decision. There was not even a single trace of any kinds of disturbance lately. In fact, there weren't any signs of invading digimon.
TK and Patamon were both walking down the street in hopes of getting themselves a break and actually getting into some sort of action. Standing ahead of them was the Arch of Triumph. They were quite bummed when they were told to go on this mission alone. All TK could think about was Kari at the moment.
"TK? What's the matter?" asked Patamon.
"Nothing. This just seems pointless if we can't even find any kind of wild digimon to fight against," said TK, "Hey what's that over there?"
"Huh? What are you looking at?"
TK pointed over towards a bridge and flashes of light going on and off about through the shadows of the darkness. TK and Patamon run over towards the bridge to see what all of the ruckus was all about. And what they came to see was a group of flying bombers flying all around making their move on what looked like a blonde-haired girl with a Floramon at her side.
"Hey look! It's a French girl with a digimon! She must be one of the French Digi-Destined! I say we go help her out," said TK.
"All right! I'll take care of these so-called bomber bullies!"
Patamon goes flying right towards the flying bomber digimon in hopes of talking some sense into them, but they knew no reason and went to attack Patamon. TK checked over the girl.
"Are you ok?" asked TK.
"Yes. Thank you very much," the girl said with a perfectly accented French voice. "My name is Catherine. These Nanimon brothers attacked my digimon and myself. We're so glad that you decided to help us out."
"We were actually going for that dark tower over at the moat," said Floramon.
"Ah! A dark tower! Alright, we're going to have to take out these Mamemon before we get down to the dark tower business," TK said, "Patamon! Time to digivolve!"
TK held out his D-3 and it started powering up, which allowed Patamon to increase his power level and evolve into his champion-level form.
[Digimon Adventure Digivolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Floramon! Go," shouted Catherine.
Floramon powered up her ki level and she felt her body transform as a result.
"Floramon shinka! Kiwimon!"
Angemon goes flying towards the three Mamemon. One of them turned out to be a rather, overweight blob, while another looked like a tiny little version of the big one. And the other was normal-sized with a metal helmet over his head.
"We're Mamemon," exclaimed the metal helmeted Mamemon, "I'm Metal Mamemon! And along with me are none other than BigMamemon and Mamemon! So, we suggest you leave before this fight gets ugly!"
"I prefer option two," said Angemon, "Let's tango!"
"Not if I have anything to say about!" exclaimed a voice.
Angemon turns around and gets met with a flying bomb that knocks him away into the air. Angemon goes crashing down towards the ground near the Versailles Palace.
"Oh no! We must protect the Versailles Palace before the Mamemon brothers destroy it!" cried Catherine.
"Damn those Mamemon! Don't they learn to respect monuments that people have worked their whole lives in building," exclaimed TK, "Ok, Angemon! Take those guys down and watch out for that sneak-attacker!"
"You mean, me," exclaimed the mystery attacked, who turned out to be a Giromon. "I'm Giromon and we're going to blow up anything we please! Right, boys?!"
"Yeah," they all said in unison.
"We'll see about that! Hand of Fate!"
Angemon shoots out a holy blast towards the four bombers in hopes of blasting them away out of existence. But they were alert and were able to maneuver away from the blast. Kiwimon looks up and then unleashes an array of her own stealth bombers.
"Pummel Peck!"
BigMamemon and Mamemon were easily hit by the attacks from Kiwimon as they easily fell to the ground with huge lumps on their heads.
["Brave Heart" ends]
"That wasn't too difficult," exclaimed TK, "Now we take down those other two and then its night for the dark tower! Angemon digivolve again into ultimate!"
["Beat Hit!" plays]
"Angemon chou shinka! MagnaAngemon!"
MagnaAngemon goes flying right towards both Giromon and MetalMamemon. They went to attack him with a set of their own ki blasts but MagnaAngemon easily blocked them out with the help of his trusty sword, Excalibur.
"Now! I think its time to end these foolish little games! You four will be sent into digimon limbo where you belong. Your justice has been served! Gate of Destiny!"
MagnaAngemon encircles his sword around and forms a circle that transforms into a portal-like door. As it opens up, it unleashes a beam of holy light. But instead of killing off the bomber nuisances, the gate only sucked the four rights in where they would spend the next eternity down in digimon hell to pay for their crimes and their wrongful judgments.
"All right! Way to go, MagnaAngemon! Now time to get rid of that dark tower!" exclaimed TK.
MagnaAngemon goes flying right towards the dark tower and stabs right through the tower, causing it to shatter right into tiny little pieces. The dark tower was no more. The children celebrated their victory, which brought a large group of children to arrive with their own digimon.
["Beat Hit!" ends]
"Wow! These must be the whole French Digi-Destined in their entirety," said TK.
"Yes and that was quite brave of you to come and save us," Catherine said.
"Yeah well… us Digi-Destined all need to work together. We must support each other since the War Game competition is quickly approaching."
"Yes. We wish you and the other Digi-Destined the best of luck! Now go out there and save the world…um you didn't even tell me your name."
"My name is TK and it's a pleasure to meeting you and the other French Digi-Destined. But it looks like we really have to be going now."
"Well, I hope you come back with your friends. It would be good to finally meet you original Digi-Destined after all."
"Not a prob. We'll come right back."
Catherine nods in agreement. TK waves over to MagnaAngemon and the flying angel goes over to pick up his human partner. They set off flying out of France and onward to meet up with Imperialdramon somewhere down the long trip. Catherine looks up into at the flying angel with TK around his arms. A smirk forms across her face.
"I just hope we do meet again, TK."

Chapter 97: A Digimon World Tour, Part III
Chapter Text
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine. It belongs to Akira Toriyama. However, the characters Virus, Jax, Sonja and Burizalor are mine. Lady Myotismon, Iceladydevimon, Elfmon and Funkymon are characters made by Dark Warrior. I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X, Keke, and Max, because Max Acorn created them and I got his permission to use them.
SSJ4T: Hey, all! I know you guys are anticipating the War Games, but these action-free episodes still have their moments. Trust me, if you want action-packed chapters, I'd suggest reading the D-Reaper chapters. They're full of them. Oh and I want to send out a late Happy B-Day to D3 creator, Max Acorn. I know it's late, but I wanted to send my shout outs to him.
Max: How could you have forgotten, dude?!
SSJ4T: Look, I had a lot on my mind. This has been a really busy month for me, especially with quarterfinals coming up.
Coral: Sucks to be you, then.
SSJ4T: I'm winding down. I've got plenty of new series to write up after finishing the D-Reaper and Virus Sagas. Don't forget that I'll be posting the first chapter of the YuGiOh/Digimon Tamers/Frontier during Thanksgiving Week. By December, I'll be starting on the fourth season of Digimon Fusion, which features the Frontier Digi-Destined and the debut of digital fusion level four.
Tai: Cool! You guys are in for a good series with all four seasons in the final installment to the Fusion saga.
SSJ4T: Here that? It's the final installment to the Digimon Fusion series. So, you guys better enjoy Seasons One through three while you can. They were rewritten, in order to lead up to Season Four!
Coral: Is that the reason, why?
SSJ4T: Technically, it was to reformat and add new scenes. But, yeah it was to lead up to Season Four. That means Takuya and his gang will be full-time characters rather than just cameos.
Max: So, what other series do you got planned?
SSJ4T: I also have a six-part DBZ OVA series, which will debut this December. It will feature Dark Warrior's Metal Gang characters battling the Z-Warriors! That's if I can get permission from DW to do so.
Max: How long is Digimon Fusion season four going to run?
SSJ4T: At least forty episodes. It'll be the shortest season, but will have long ass chapters. Guess what, Max? You and the D3s will be featured in you're younger forms!
Max: Hell yeah! The cat is now out of the bag!
Coral: Anything else planned, ol' wise one?
SSJ4T: I'm twiddling with the idea of a Cowboy Bebop/Trigun/Outlaw Star triple crossover, but I'm thinking about it. Oh! I must write that Reapermon Movie fic for the Digimon Fusion series! I still need to write that! So far, nothing else planned.
Max: I'm looking forward to the fourth season. When are we going to get previews for the upcoming season?
SSJ4T: You should see a preview at about the time D-Reaper reaches her final form towards the end of season three. You'll get a glimpse of what to expect.
Coral: Cool! We have three series to look forward to this winter.
SSJ4T: That's the plan, at least not until I start new classes in early December. Anyway, I'll shut the hell up and let you guys enjoy the fic! We're just about done with the World Tour mini-saga and we're moving on towards the War Games prelude!

A Digimon World Tour, Part III
December 23, 2004
Mexico
A warm and gloomy night rests upon the landscape of the great country of Mexico. It is their sleeping hour now since over in Japan it is still Christmas Eve and Mexico still haven't had their Christmas yet. And this was the perfect time to knock down some dark towers and take back certain lost digimon back to their homes in the Digital World.
Now, the two Digi-Destined, Yolei and Ken are looking about the countryside while hiding from several patrol officers. This way they could get their mission over and done with, in order to return back home to have a safe Christmas. Ken motions over to someone from the bushes and Stingmon quickly comes flying out.
"Alright! The cost is clear! There's a dark tower! Time to demolish!"
"Right! Here goes nothing!"
"Halsemon go!"
Stingmon and Halsemon go flying right towards the lone dark tower as they began to circle it. Halsemon starts to attack first as he shoots out a laser-like blade towards the tower.
"Tempest Wing!"
That blast only managed to cut half of the tower, but then Stingmon goes flying in for the finishing touches. He arches back his fist and a purple-like blade appears out of nowhere. He swoops down through the dark tower and slashed right through it.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon stops and then looks right back to the dark tower. Within a matter of seconds, it quickly collapsed after being cutting into half once again. Then it shattered away into tiny little fragments.
"TIMBER!" Stingmon calls out.
"Nice work, Stingmon!" exclaimed Ken.
"All right, now we have to stay really quiet so that those patrol officers don't come wondering around to look for us. I don't want to spend the rest of my life as a suspect here in Mexico," said Yolei.
"Right. Lets go Stingmon! We'll meet you over towards that forest over there. Those patrol officers shouldn't be able to find us there."
The two kids headed over towards the forest with their digimon following right behind them. They were quite lucky not to have any patrol officers hot on their trail. Stingmon and Halsemon managed to de-evolve back into their rookie-leveled forms.
"All right! Now, according to my D-3, there are still some wild digimon to be transported from this section. I think there's only a few," said Ken, "But I think we can manage that."
"I just hope your right. Hey, Ken, why isn't there any Mexican Digi-Destined? I thought we would be meeting with them by now?" asked Yolei. "Maybe they're chilling out and watching some low rider car shows?"
"Funny, Yolei. But that's not the reason. They got a curfew here. That's why those patrol officers are around. They want to make sure no kids are causing any trouble after dawn."
"I see. Well, I'm just glad not to be a Mexican, whew. I just can't stand having curfews."
"Well, that's their life. We got ours."
"This reminds me of that movie with that guy named Cheech. He left Mexico and went to the states. That was so funny when he taught those Chinese guys how to act like a Mexican gangster. I forgot the name of that movie."
"Hey look at that!"
Ken points over to what seemed to be a temple shrine over ahead of them. It looked to be quite ancient. Yolei gasped at what she saw.
"Well that is quite a monument," said Hawkmon.
"What is that? Some sort of temple?" asked Wormmon.
"Yes. It's one of the last remaining Mayan temples," said Ken, "And look! There are patrol guards. According to my D-3, there is some digimon activity over in that temple. But if we go in there, they're going to think that we're trying to sneak in and steal some very important artifacts."
"You're right. We're just going to have to think of a way to get in," said Yolei, "And I've just about run out of ideas, already."
"Maybe I can be of some assistance," said a voice from behind them.
They all turned to see a man in a hood and they quickly came to conclusions that it was none other than Gennai himself.
"Gennai? You came to help us?" asked Yolei.
"Well, actually. My name is Jose. I'm Gennai's Mexican counter-part."
"Well you sure did come at just the right time. We have to find a way to get into that temple since my D-3 can pick up several readings of digimon lurking within the ruins. Can you at least distract those guards while we go in since if we approach them, they're going to think that we're trying to steal important artifacts."
"No problem-o. I got that under control," Jose said.
With that said, Jose comes walking out of the bushes and towards the patrol officers. They all approach as if they were about to question him but he stood his ground and decided to perform some sort of act. Jose was doing some sort of ritual dance. This easily caught the patrol officer's attention as they were impressed and watched on.
Ken looked out towards a back way entrance into the ruins and pointed right towards them. Yolei nodded in agreement. They crawled through the brushes, in order to keep them from being seen by the officers. They quietly snuck through the back entrance and finally entered the cave.
"It's too dark in here!" Wormmon whined.
"Don't worry, as soon as we're done here, we'll be out of here in no time," said Ken.
"I guess look on the bright side. There are no ghosts in here," said Hawkmon.
"Ugh! Don't remind me! I still have nightmares just thinking about them," Yolei replied.
As they continued to ramble on, Wormmon looked towards what seemed to be some sort of ancient Mayan mask. The mask had a very distinct fear factor that easily caused Wormmon to freak out with his eyes wide open. He runs right at ken and holds his leg tightly.
"Hey, what's wrong, Wormmon? Did you find anything?" asked Ken.
But as soon as he turned to find the mask, Ken was also scared out of his wits but he kept his composure to himself and tried not to make a fool out of himself right in front of Yolei.
"Um. Okay, that is very spooky!"
"I'll say! Remind me never to watch those horror movies. Though are they funny to watch," said Yolei, "Hey! I see a light up ahead!"
"Let's go there. Maybe we'll find what we are looking for," said Ken.
They walked through the hallways and looked around their surroundings as to make sure that nothing pops out to grab them. As soon as they reached towards the light, something came walking out and this caused Wormmon to jump right back in total fear. But when Ken and Yolei looked at the thing a little closer, it was a digimon! A Gotsumon.
"Hey! Look its a lost digimon," said Yolei, "C'mon little guy. Its time to take you back hom…"
"No!" exclaimed a little girl's voice.
Then a Mexican girl came running out in front of Gotsumon. She stood in defense of the digimon. Knowing that Ken and Yolei weren't a threat, Rosa smiles and introduces herself.
"Hello. My name is Rosa. And this is my digimon partner, Gotsumon. What'ca doing in here?"
"Well, we were about to ask you the same question," said Ken, "By the way, have you seen any other lost digimon in these ruins?"
"No. No. Just me and Gotsumon."
"What? That doesn't make sense. My D-3 clearly picked up digimon energy signals in these ruins, it couldn't just be Gotsumon," Ken said.
Suddenly, there were loud growling noises coming out from within the darkness of the cave. This catches the attention of the three Digi-Destined. Gotsumon, Wormmon and Hawkmon get into defensive positions as they could sense incoming ki coming out from within the darkness.
"You guys better get out of here," Hawkmon, "I can sense two ki heading this way."
"Go! We'll take it from here," exclaimed Wormmon.
"No! These ruins are one of the last remaning left in the world. You will have to fight outside the ruins," Ken said, "I say we lead them right out."
"Sounds like a plan," Yolei said, "C'mon Rosa! Lets go!"
The three children started heading out from the temple with their digimon coming in close right behind them. The two kis coming out of hiding were none other than Minotarumon and Dokugumon.
As soon as they left the temple, they found all turned to see the two wild digimon coming right out of hiding and finally exposing themselves. Ken and Yolei pull out their D-3s and were more than ready to fight them.
"Wormmon! Digivolve!"
"You too, Hawkmon!"
[Digimon Adventure Digivolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
The two champions go flying into battle against Minotarumon and Dokugumon. Stingmon and Minotarumon go clashing at one another, but Stingmon was able to overwhelm the bull monster and flip him right over. Stingmon goes right at Minotarumon and delivers a spinning kick to his face. Aquillamon goes and picks up Dokugumon and drops him down like an anvil.
"Gotsumon! Go!"
"Gotsumon shinka! Monochromon!"
Minotarumon slowly rises to his feet but he was too late to maneuver away as Monochromon spears him right down with his mighty brute strength. Dokugumon turns around faces the three champions.
"Go! Stingmon!"
"Aquillamon!"
"Gotsumon!"
Stingmon goes flying right towards Dokugumon with his purple-blade coming right out of his hand. Aquillamon powers up and forms a blast in his mouth. Monochromon stomps the ground.
"Spiking Strike!"
"Blast Rings!"
"Volcanic Strike!"
The three blasts combined into one large ki blast and nails Dokugumon head on, and the mighty ultimate went falling down in defeat. The three children celebrated in victory and then Jose came running out from the bushes with a laptop in his hands.
"All right! In they go!" Jose said.
He activates a digital port and it opens up in the laptop. The two wild digimon are then sucked up and sent right back to the digital world where they belong.
"Night, night," Rosa said as she quickly falls asleep.
"It's getting pretty late. We better send Rosa back home, or her parents will start to worry even more," said Ken.
They all nodded in agreement and headed out towards the closest village within the forests.
***************************************************************************************
Yolei and Ken looked on through behind some barrels to make sure that her parents safely took in Rosa.
"Hey, Ken? How do you say, thank you in Spanish?" asked Ken.
"Gracias."
"Gracias, Rosa."
The two Digi-Destined headed out from the village and waited at their spot in order for Imperialdramon to come by and pick them up on the way.
***************************************************************************************
Moscow, Russia
It was a nice and chilly day over up north in Moscow after what seemed to be an endless winter storm. But now everything seems to be calm. Sora and Biyomon have both been searching the area to look for any local Russian Digi-Destined.
Omega X watched the sunset from the horizon and then heard voices coming from another direction. He turned to see Sora running towards him with several other kids. They looked to be Russian and right behind them were digimon.
"Well! It's about time! So are these kids, the only Russian Digi-Destined you could find?" asked Omega X.
"Yeah. Unfortunately. I wasn't able to find any others along the way," Said Sora, "But rest assured, these are quite the team. They've been protecting this side of the world for many years."
"Wow. That's quite some experience," said Omega X.
Sora and Omega X look right at the Russian Digi-Destined. One was a young boy with blonde hair and he had a Kuwagumon at his side. A girl stood right next to him and a Snimon stood with her. And the other was a girl with a Unimon.
"I guess we'll have to introduce ourselves. But I don't know much Russian," said Omega X.
"I'm curious. Why are you still in Omega X form? Shouldn't you take a break to conserve you're energy? It's just a suggestion."
"We have no choice, Sora. We decided to remain in this form until after the War Games."
"Really? Or maybe you wanted to impress me," Sora teased.
"Or it could be for that reason… Yeah."
"I thought so. Hello, so are you three the Russian Digi-Destined?" asked Sora.
They nodded. Sora stood there while thinking of more questions to come up with.
"And we're Digi-Destined from Japan," said Omega X, "I'm Omega X. I'm the fusion form of both War Greymon and Tai Kamiya."
"And I'm Sora. This little pink digimon with me is none other than…"
"Biyomon. My name is Biyomon."
"Hello. My name is Yuri," said the boy, "And this here is Kuwagumon."
"I'm Sonya. And this is my digimon, Unimon."
"My name is Anna. And this is Snimon."
However, it only seemed that the Russian Digi-Destined only knew little English, so it was quite hard for them to even understand Sora and Omega X.
"Well this is going to be a lot more difficult than we thought," Omega X said.
"That maybe so, but we're all Digi-Destined. We're just going to have to convince them, other wise. I only know how to speak so little Russian."
"You know some Russian?" asked Omega X.
"Of course! Prioshki and Borscht."
"Terrific. So you only know the basic foods then," Omega X sighed sadly.
Sora giggled and then gasped when she looked up into the sky. She saw a swarm of Flymon heading towards their way.
"Heads up! We got company!" exclaimed Omega X, "You guys stay back. I'll take care of this!"
"I don't think so! We're on this together. We're Digi-Destined and we should have a piece of the competition," said Sora, "Biyomon! Lets do it!"
Sora pulls out her digivice and it begins to glow, which gave Biyomon even more power to evolve all the way into her ultimate-leveled form.
[Digimon Adventure Digivolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Biyomon shinka! Birdramon! Birdramon shinka! Garudamon!"
Garudamon and Omega X go flying into the air as they went to attack the Flymon. The three Russian kids turned to face their digimon and gave them the signal to attack. Snimon, Unimon and Kuwagumon all flew up to lend both Omega X and Garudamon a hand.
"Wow! This is great! We're actually working together as a unit," Sora said, "And this is how it should be done! Even though, we speak different languages and live with a variety of different life styles, we all know that we must protect the world from evil!"
Omega X goes flying right through several Flymon with the best of ease. The Flymon stood no chance against a single fusion warrior. Even Garudamon and the three champions were not having any difficulty whatsever.
"Scissors Claw!"
"Aerial Attack!"
"Twin Sickle!"
"Wing Blade!"
All four of these attacks were able to put away several of the Flymon. And as soon as more of the buggers approached, the more they went down as a result of the attacks being delivered by the four digimon.
Omega X powers up and shoots out several small ki-blasts right at the rest of the Flymon. Each one went falling down which created a pile of beaten up and defeated Flymon. Omega X wanted to be sure that his attacks didn't harm the Flymon, but rather to temporarily put them out.
"All right! That should do it! Hold that thought! Here comes a second swarm, in coming!" exclaimed Omega X.
More Flymon were flying in and ready to attack but Omega X saw them coming. He starts to power up once again and he puts his hands out right in front of him. Then, a shot of a beam comes out and blinds the swarm. Omega X takes advantage of this situation and spins into a tornado. He then flies right towards the Flymon swarm and spins right through them. As soon as he stopped spinning, he turned to see the swarm all flying down to the ground, looking fatigued as ever.
"That should take care of the Flymon problem! Looks like our job here is finished," said Omega X.
"Not quite!" exclaimed a voice.
The Digi-Destined all turned to see Gennai running up towards them with a laptop in his hands. Sora was quick to recognize him when he first took a good look at him.
"Hey! Gennai! We're so glad that you decided to show up!"
"Well actually. I'm only another one of Gennai's good friends. My name is Ilya."
"But you exactly like Gennai."
"Yeah. No kidding. How many Gennais are there? We just got e-mails from our friends about the multiple Gennais! Are you a part of a Jedi elite or something?" remarked Omega X.
"I'm his Russian counterpart, but now is not the time for that. We must get this fellows back home to where they belong."
"I still say you're a part of that Jedi council."
Ilya activates the digital portal as it begins to open up and suck all of the fallen Flymon right in. They were now sent back to the digital world, where they belong. Ilya then turns to face the Digi-Destined.
"Well done. This whole area has now been cleared. It now looks as though Virus was just doing this by distracting you all because he's planning something as of now," Ilya explained.
Omega X flew right down to listen to the conversation. He heard Virus' name being mentioned and was curious to know what he was planning at this very moment.
"I heard something about Virus, what's that creep planning at this very moment? We knew that this whole digimon world invasion was his idea. We knew he could open gates, but what is he doing at this very moment," asked Omega X.
"He was secretly sending out several metal insects that contained the D-Virus. Yes, it seems as though he was able to create some robot bugs to carry the deadly fluid. Just think if they were to spread and create a deadly epidemic!"
"That no good creep! Wait till I get my hands on him," exclaimed Omega X.
"But he is planning on sending them out the day after Christmas for some strange reason. But you two are to relax for Christmas day is about to arrive. I suggest you get rest, in order to be ready for the big day when you do finally get the chance in beating that sadistic artificial," Ilya said, "But I commend you Digi-Destined for even having the courage and the heart in helping other Digi-Destined from other parts of the world."
"No problem. Its great to know that there are other Digi-Destined children besides us," Sora said.
"Yeah, what she said," Omega X replied.
Suddenly, Omega X felt a powerful ki approaching near light speed and turned to see Imperialdramon arriving with the other Digi-Destined. All of them were now ready to go home.
"All aboard!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"Well! I leave this up to you, Digi-Destined," said Ilya, "The fate of two worlds now lie in your hands. This is it! Good luck to you all!"
With that said, Ilya fades out. Omega X, Sora and the now de-evolved Biyomon headed towards Imperialdramon to head off from Russia and to flying right back to their homeland in Japan.
"Tai, we must stop Virus from infecting people with the D-Virus," Sora said, "If we don't, then more people are going to die even before the big war Games gets underway."
"You don't have to worry. We'll stop him and he's going to pay for his crimes once we get back home," Omega X growled with sheer intensity.
With that said, now the whole world was experiencing the sheer beauty that is Christmas Day. People everywhere are now opening presents and getting together with their families and friends.
***************************************************************************************
As soon as the Digi-Destined arrived home, they were all now getting prepared for Christmas together with their families and friends. But even with Christmas bringing joy and happiness, Omega X just couldn't keep his composure and is now anxious to know when Virus plans on unleashing his insect toys to carry out the D-Virus, which could easily infect and kill the entire human race right before the War Games even takes place.
"Just you wait, Virus. We're going to be the ones that take you down once and for all! Mark our words, damn it,"Omega X said to himself.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the Digital World, Virus was still standing on his stage platform with a huge smile on his face. Several little insect robots were circling him with their bodies filled with the deadly D-Virus within them.
"Those foolish Digi-Destined just have no idea of when I plan to strike. Maybe I'll just send these buggers off the day after Christmas. Well it won't matter since there's nothing they can do to stop me! Maybe this way, I can really get their attention and fuel enough anger within them. I really need good competition and they have provided me with little competition. But that is now over with. Behold, your demise, Digi-Destined! And the only two remaining shall be you and I, Omega X. That's how we were destined to be. But I will come out as the sole survivor of this war. Just you wait and see."
When will Virus unleash his insects of death out to unleash the deadly D-Virus? And how will the Digi-Destined be able to react in time to stop these bugs? Will there be enough hope for mankind to survive until the day of the War Games?

Virus: Just six more days until the War Games, but I think I'm going to have a little fun with those brats. Deploy the D-Virus insects!
Davis: We've got trouble! Damn, these things are carrying the D-Virus!
TK: We have to put a stop to this! Patamon! Let's go!
Patamon & TK: Fusion shinka! War Angemon!
Celesta X: Whoa! You guys can fusion evolve?!
Black War Greymon: At least, it's my opportunity to confront War Greymon. My mission has not been fulfilled!
War Greymon: This is ridiculous! Our enemy is Virus not each other!
Imperialdramon: Mode Change! Fighter Mode!
Ken: Imperialdramon can mode change?!
Tai: The War Games are just days away! We have to put a stop to this recklessness!
Izzy: Next time on Digimon Fusion Zero Two, episode forty!
The Battle of the War Greymon! Black War Greymon vs. War Greymon!
Black War Greymon: Don't you miss!
***************************************************************************************
SSJ4T: Just before the War Games, you guys are in for a prelude of what's to come. It's the War Greymon smack down!
Max: After this is the War Games?
SSJ4T: Yep, that's the plan. The anticipation is just one chapter away.
Coral: Not to mention that we have three new series to look forward to this winter.
SSJ4T: I hate to repeat myself, because I'll sound like a damn announcer. But here goes. The three new series to be released this winter will be "The Wrath of Pharaohmon"- a YuGiOh/Digimon Tamers/Frontier crossover, the six-part DBZ OVA featuring the Metal Gang against the Z-Warriors, and finally the fourth and final season to Digimon Fusion. That last season will indeed feature Takuya and the gang along with the Digi-Destined and the Tamers.
Max: Don't forget that the D3s and me are in that fourth season.
SSJ4T: Can't forget about that. Well, that wraps up the World Tour mini-saga. You guys ought to go check out the latest D-Reaper chapter. It has plenty of breath-taking action and plenty of ass-kickings! Ok, that's it. I'm not playing the announcer anymore. You take that spot, Max.
Max: As long as you pay me… You're the author of the series. You ought to host them.
Coral: So, get off your lazy ass and host! Oh and by the way, this goes out to Alan. I know you're reading buddy. Don't ever disrespect a woman's bosom. I might be a teenager, but I still have a woman's intuition
Max: How egotistical can you get? Just because you trained and gained power from the time chamber, doesn't make you an ultimate warrior. You'll have to demonstrate that.
Coral: Never underestimate me. That goes double for you too, Alan.
Max: Oh boy. She' definitely letting it get to her head.
Coral: Puh-lease! Now if you excuse me, I'm going to train. Ta-ta.
Max: SSJ4T, you've just created a power hungry monster.
SSJ4T: Ah, so much love in the air. cough Anyway, we're out of time and I've got to get studying. Until then, peace!

The Battle of the War Greymon! Black War Greymon vs. War Greymon!
December 26, 2004 -Five Days before the War Games-
The city of Odaiba was now buzzing with reports of metallic insects starting to appear within the countryside. The Digi-Destined all tuned into the news and wanted to get any further updates on this crisis. It looks as though that another one of Virus' prophecies has now come into being.
"Eyewitness reports are reporting that several mysterious insects of some sort of metallic kind have now been appearing just outside the city limits of Odaiba. It looks as though that several plagues have come into being just as soon as Virus announced the War Games competition! Is this truly the end for all of us?!"
Ken pounds his fist on the table after watching the news and he began to curse Virus for the entire foul acts that he is committing.
"Just what the hell does Virus want from us?! He's basically just tormenting us into fighting him,"Ken said in thought while clenching his fists.
Mrs. Ichijouji comes walking in with a worried look on her face as she saw her own son with his hands clenched up into fists and his face red from anger.
"What's the matter, honey? You seem awfully pale?"
"I just stood up in shock, that's all. I think I better go lie down."
"Maybe you should."
"Sorry, mom, but I have on time for naps. I just needed to make an excuse. This is serious!"
****************************************************************************************
"That's it! Just how much chaos is this guy going to cause! When is enough going to be enough," Omega X said with sheer anger, "I have to stop him right away. I don't care if I'm making a bad judgment, I'm taking action now!"
"Hold on, Tai! We can't jump into conclusions just yet. We will just have to wait until we know for sure we know what we're up against," Izzy said.
"Screw that! I alone have the power to destroy those deadly bugs! So let me go. I'll risk getting infected again but this time I'll be much more careful."
"We can't risk it," said Sora, "Please, don't try and going out there. You'll just make the situation worse."
"But we just can't sit here and wait for people to die! Is that what you all want?!"
The other children stood there with sheer determination and were soon beginning to agree with Omega X's judgment.
"I may not agree with your judgment, but I say we stop those insects, even if it costs us our own lives," Celesta X said, "Look, my brother and myself have the power alone to stop these nuisances, but its Virus that we are more worried about. What happens if he tries to sneak attack on us?!"
"I doubt that will happen," Omega X replied, "He's looking forward to the War Games as much as we are. He only wants me and that's who he is going to get."
"No! I alone have the strength to defeating Virus. Ever since Gabumon and myself left the training chamber again, we know for sure we can beat him this time. You just let us have that opportunity."
"No. Sorry. This is our fight and we intend on beating that cold-hearted artificial," Omega X replied, "You had your chance and failed."
Matt growled to himself and crossed his arms. Omega X keeps an eye on him but then turns his attention over towards the others.
"So, are you guys up for this?" asked Celesta X, "Because I'm more than ready."
The other Digi-Destined all nodded in agreement. Suddenly, TK and Dimitri come running in with their Patamons at their side. Omega X turns to face them.
"Well it's about time that you guys even showed up," said Omega X.
"Sorry, but we had to finish our training as well. TK and I decided to train together, so we can learn our digimon's techniques. Now TK is able to perform the fusion with Patamon. Pretty neat, huh?"
"Wow! You mean you can fuse just like me?" asked Celesta X.
"Mmhmm. Just you wait and see until we go out into battle," said TK. "You're going to get blown away at what you see!"
"Looking forward to that."
"Ok, so now that we're all done with this chit-chat, can we now head out and get right into the action," asked Davis.
"We might as well. We're not going anywhere just by sitting here! Lets go, team!" exclaimed Omega X.
They all cheered in unison and headed out of the garage house and out through the door. They all looked up to see a swarm of metallic insects heading their way. It was Virus' minions, so this was it.
"Alright guys! Its time to digivolve!" exclaimed Sora.
Sora, Joe, Izzy, Mimi and Michael started off by holding out their digivices and giving their digimon the power to evolve into their ultimate-leveled forms.
[Digimon Adventure Digivolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Biyomon shinka! Birdramon! Birdramon chou shinka! Garudamon!"
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon! Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon! Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
"Palmon shinka! Togemon! Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
"Betamon shinka! Seadramon!"
Next, Davis, Yolei, Cody and Ken held out their D-3's as they were now prepared to digivolve their partners to their champion forms and then merge with them to become their ultimate-leveled forms.
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
"Armadillomon shinka! Ankylomon!"
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
[Digimon 02 Jogress Evolution Theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
"Xveemon Fusion Shinka!"
Davis presses his D-3 against his chest and then he transforms into data. He then flies right into Xveemon as they quickly merge together in a ball of massive energy. As soon as they came out, a new being emerged into their ultimate-leveled fusion form.
"Paildramon!"
"Aquillamon Fusion Shinka!"
Yolei presses her D-3 against her chest and then she transforms into data. She then flies right into Aquillamon as they quickly merge together into a ball of massive energy. As soon as they emerged, a new warrior was again reborn.
"Silphymon!"
"Armadillomon Fusion Shinka!"
Cody presses his D-3 against his chest and then transforms into data. He then encircles Ankylomon as they quickly merge together into a massive ball of energy. As soon as they emerged, the new ultimate leveled fusion warrior came flying out.
"Shakkoumon!"
"Stingmon Fusion Shinka!"
Ken presses his D-3 against his chest and then transforms into data. He then flies right into Stingmon as a form of spirit and they quickly merge into a massive ball of energy. As soon as they emerged, the new ultimate leveled fusion warrior was reborn once again.
"Dinobeemon!"
"Alright! Its time to give them a little surprise, Patamon! You up for it?" asked TK.
"You bet! Lets do it!"
The other Digi-Destined all turned to see TK holding his D-3 and watched as the D-3 powered up to give Patamon the energy he needs to evolve into his champion-leveled form.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Now Angemon! Fusion evolve!"
TK's D-3 started to glow and it quickly gave Angemon more power and TK quickly turns into a mass of data. Angemon spreads his arms out as he gladly accepts the spirit of TK's data. The Digi-Destined turned in total silence at TK's startling revelation.
"Angemon! Fusion evolve!"
They both soon became a massive ball of energy and the feather wings were quickly being replaced by metallic blade-wings. His helmet soon disappeared and gave away to a more cybernetic headpiece decorated with yellow eyes glowing out, not to mention more armor on his body. But it seemed as though this armor was not even heavy at all. Then a sword shaped like a lighting bolt appeared in his hands. He twists it around and then gets into a fighting stance with an electrical bolts striking his body and giving him more energy than he needs.
"War Angemon!"
The Digi-Destined all looked on with total shock at what just transpired. Celesta X and Omega X watched on as they saw TK perform his own fusion with Patamon. And as a result of that, a new warrior was born. It was War Angemon and he was sure worth the wait.
"Greetings. I am War Angemon. I am the fusion form of Angemon. With the spirits of thunder at our side, we shall strike down any opponent that comes our way," War Angemon said with a voice similar to a deepened Angemon.
"We'll you sure were the wait," Celesta X replied, "I'm impressed! Now we can team up and kick ass!"
"You sure know how to lighten the mood up, Kari," War Angemon said.
"All right! Now it's our turn, Faith! Lets do it!" Dimitri cries out as he holds his D-3.
Faith feeds off of the energy from Dimitri's D-3 and uses it to evolve into his champion-level form.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Dimitri presses his D-3 against his chest and then transforms into a form of data. He flies right over to Faith and they both become a massive ball of energy. There they transform from within that massive energy ball. As soon as they emerged, they came out as their fusion form.
"Angemon X!"
"Gabumon! It's our turn, buddy!" exclaimed Matt.
"Right! Fusion time!"
Gabumon feeds off of the energy from Matt's digivice and uses it to evolve into his mega-level form.
"Gabumon warp shinka! Metal Garurumon!"
Matt presses his D-3 against his chest and then transforms into a form of data. He flies right over to Metal Garurumon and they both become a massive ball of energy. There they transform from within that massive energy ball. As soon as they emerged, they came out as their fusion form.
"Metalla X!"
[Digimon theme "I'm going Digital" plays]
Now standing around on the battlefield were five fusion megas, four fusion ultimates, four ultimates and a champion on one side. On the other side, there was a large army of insect cyborgs ready to make their move upon the digimon.
"All right! This is it! We fight to the finish as one," Omega X said, "Ready…"
The insects were slowing starting to power up their energy cannons. In any second from now, they will wipe out the entire digimon group if they don't move out of the way. These insects were also equipped with the ability to delete any digital life form that comes crossing their path.
"And attack!"
The robotic insects fired away but the digimon group all quickly phased away just in time from being deleted. Omega X appears from behind several robots and sliced through some with the use of his claws. Celesta X jumps into the air gracefully and executes several jump kicks to numerous of drones. Metalla X goes and blasts away several drones that were coming his way. Angemon X goes flying right through a handful and easily wipes them out by just punching them. These drones didn't seem as tough as they thought.
Garudamon picks up several drones and slams him down into the ground. Lillymon used her ability to maneuver from several of the insect's blasts and quickly phases right behind them. She powers up a massive ball of energy in her hands and shoots it right out at them.
"Flower Cannon!"
Zudomon wrenches back his fists and thrusts them forward to knock out more drones that were coming his way. He then summons his large hammer and slices through another horde.
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
That attack was even strong enough to wipe out more drones heading towards from another direction. But now it seems that every time that a group was defeated, another horde just keeps flying in. What was the source creating such an infinite amount of drones?
Altur Kabuterimon and Shakkoumon saw another horde coming their way. Izzy was soon being enthusiastic in trying to gain his partner's attention.
"Altur Kabuterimon! Another horde at three 'o clock!"
"I'm right on it! Lets do it, Shakkoumon!"
"It will be our pleasure!"
As soon as the horde were drawing nearer, Shakkoumon and Altur Kabuterimon shot out their respective attacks.
"Horn Buster!"
"Harmonious Spirit!"
These attacks were enough to even put this horde away for good. Silphymon and Dinobeemon were the next to attack an approaching swarm coming in from the air. It seems as though that these bug were only good when fighting in the air, but now the digimon could use this to their advantage.
"Static Force!"
"Hell Masquerade!"
The attacks were strong enough to ward off some of the metal bugs with ease. But they realized that the more they kill, more start emerging.
"Gah! Every time we kill one swarm, another just comes popping right in!" Silphymon exclaimed.
"This could be bad. If we continue on at this rate, we'll give out for sure," said Dinobeemon.
"Desperado Blaster!"
"Ice Blast!"
Again, more bugs were taken out as a result of being blasted away by Paildramon and Seadramon. Michael stood there while cheering on his digimon. Paildramon looks up and notices a sort of satellite.
"Hmmm. I wonder why that satellite is there. I've never seen it before,"Davis said in thought.
******************************************************
The news reporter came on once again to report on the updated situation of the insect invasion.
"We interrupt this programming to fill you in on this special bulletin! We have now received word that the same creatures known as digimon that saved us from a terrible invasion just a couple of days ago are now taking care of the insect crisis. But we advise you to remain indoors and in case of really emergency, everyone must be alert and must evacuate from their homes immediately. I just don't know what to say, with the holidays still taking place. This is perhaps the worst holiday crisis we have ever had."
Black War Greymon watched the news and saw a glimpse of none other than Omega X taking out a large number of insect bots. Suddenly his sensors started going off, Black War Greymon was taking a good look at the one individual that he was designed to kill.
"Yes there he is! Now I get my chance to destroying Omega X. I may loathe for the way Datamon threatens life, but I must carry out a mission."
Black War Greymon rips off the wires that were being connected to his body and started to power up his ki. He holds his arms up and a red energy ball forms in his hands. He then tosses it right through the garage door with the best of ease.
"Terra Destroyer!"
The garage door blows away and a huge cloud of some comes out. Black War Greymon slowly walks through the thick cloud and looks upon the outside world. His sensors were able to pick up Omega X's position and he wasn't too far.
"There you are. Now I have to reach to you and we shall begin our little duel. You owe me a fight."
With that said, Black War Greymon goes flying off into the city in search of his rival that he was designed to kill. He may have helped the other Digi-Destined out in their battle against Virus, but he was still created to kill Omega X. But why would he still have to carry such an agenda if Datamon was destroyed.
***************************************************************************************
Omega X picks up a huge power reading and turns around to see Black War Greymon flying towards his direction. A huge smile comes across his face.
"Well. Well. Black War Greymon has finally picked up our energy signal," Omega X said.
"Huh? Black War Greymon?! But I thought he wouldn't go after you with all this taking place," Celesta X replied.
"I don't know but he sure looks anxious enough in fighting us. Tai, I suggest we de-fuse so that I may fight Black War Greymon."
"What?! Are you crazy? We got more important things to do! We still have bugs to exterminate! Not to mention, I was planning of staying in this form until after the War Games."
"I understand that. But I have to do this. It wouldn't be fair if I were to fight Black War Greymon in our fused state. Please, I want this chance to see who the better War Greymon truly is."
Tai started thinking to himself and it was a choice that he had to make. He just couldn't pull War Greymon from the fight since that would destroy his reputation of having the power of Courage. So Tai eventually gave in.
"Alright, you can fight him. But remember, we all must stick together if we are to beat Virus in five days from now!"
"Thank you, Tai. I won't let you down."
As soon as he said that, Omega X quickly defuses back to his separated entities, Tai and War Greymon. War Greymon looks up to see none other than Black War Greymon hovering from above and looking down upon them.
"So, War Greymon? Are you ready to settle this? We shall determine who the better War Greymon is? There can only be one. Either you go, or I go. Either way, there will be a victor. So shall we begin?"
"Of course."
War Greymon flies up and then meets up Black War Greymon. The two mega powers faced off while looking right at each other. A stare down was taking place with a large flow of energy surging from each two fighter. Black War Greymon gets into a fighting stance, as does War Greymon.
"Datamon created me for the sole purpose of destroying you and Taichi. I may hate and loathe Virus for everything he has done, but it still doesn't stop me from my destiny. Once I kill you and Taichi, I shall then go on and defeat Virus myself. You hear me, nothing will stop me from my destiny."
"So, is your destiny killing the both of us just to carry out the wishes of somebody that is already dead? It doesn't make sense. Datamon is dead and you still want to carry out his wishes?"
"I live for the sport of fighting. I maybe considered a foreign object in this, but so are you. I am an artificial while you are a living piece of data. We shall find out who the superior War Greymon really is."
"Yes, we shall."
Black War Greymon goes flying right at War Greymon with his claws ready to slice him up, but War Greymon also goes flying right at Black War Greymon with his claws extended out. As soon as they clashed, they collided and caused a huge shockwave to occur in the skies above. From everyone else's point of view, they were seeing flashes of light colliding with one another. They were quite very fast from the eye of the others.
Black War Greymon goes for a kick but War Greymon ducks under and delivers an elbow into the artificial's gut. War Greymon starts hammering away at Black War Greymon, but then the artificial retaliated with punches of his own.
"We don't have to fight. But, if that's what you wish, then so be it!"
"Yes. Fight me! One of us will be leaving here alive!"
"C'mon! War Greymon! Don't let him beat you!" exclaimed Tai, "You can do it! I just hope the others are fairing well at the moment."
***************************************************************************************
Paildramon slashed and destroyed more insect drones with the use of his Desperado Blaster attack. He looks up at the mysterious satellite dish that was moving about on top of a office building.
"You guys! That satellite is the source of those insect's re-emerging. It's cloning them somehow and I must destroy it! It will be much easier for us! Desperado Blaster!"
But as he shot the satellite with his attack, it didn't do much but just leave several scratch marks on the satellite dish. The others were shocked that it wasn't able to explode since the Desperado Blaster was strong enough to blast right through several buildings.
"You guys ward these buggers off, but we're going to do everything we can in destroying that satellite! Now, if Paildramon can't get the job done, then Imperialdramon can!"
[Digimon 02 theme "Targey Akai Shougeki" plays]
"Paildramon mega shinka! Imperialdramon!"
The satellite was about to create several more insect warriors after more were being wiped out by the other digimon. But then, Imperialdramon goes flying from the other side and he quickly starts to power up his cannon.
"Looks like you're little game has been cancelled, Virus! Here's a little present that I got for you! Positron Laser!"
With that said, he quickly shoots out a powerful energy beam that blasted the satellite dish with tremendous ease and quickly puts it out of commission. Now there were no more drones to be created, and this gave the others the chance in destroying the last remaining insect drones.
"That should do it! There won't be any epidemic spreading anytime soon! Huh? I'm picking up two strong ki levels coming from that direction! It's… War Greymon… and Black War Greymon! Oh, this is one I got to see!"
[Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle Theme" plays]
Black War Greymon tosses his Terra Destroyer right at War Greymon but he was able to block it off with the help of his Brave Shield. Black War Greymon quickly phases right behind War Greymon and delivers a kick to the back of his head. War Greymon goes flying down but he quickly lifts himself up and hovers slightly above the ground. Black War Greymon reappears in front of War Greymon and slashes right at him with his claws. War Greymon was able to maneuver away from each claw swipe.
Black War Greymon kicks War Greymon and sends him flying back into a nearby wall. Black War Greymon forms another red energy ball and hurls it right towards War Greymon.
"Terra Destroyer!"
War Greymon quickly manages to stop it while holding out his claws in attempt of pushing it right back at Black War Greymon, but the strength of the Terra Destroyer was too much even for War Greymon to handle. War Greymon decides to take a different approach and delivers a kick to send the energy ball flying up into the skies.
Black War Greymon goes right at War Greymon and delivers a devastating head butt. War Greymon wards off its effects and then delivers a spinning back kick to the dark mega. War Greymon applies a bearhug on Black War Greymon and tosses him right up into the air above.
Black War Greymon manages to catch himself in time and looks down right at War Greymon with a sheer look on his face. He then spins into a tornado and starts spinning right towards War Greymon.
"Black Tornado!"
War Greymon got a taste of his own medicine and was driven back down into the ground. War Greymon felt his body starting to wind down after that attack from Black War Greymon. War Greymon goes rolling down a snowy hill and looks right up at his adversary. Black War Greymon looks down while giving War Greymon a cold look.
"Say night night, War Greymon."
"War Greymon! Get up! Don't do this, Black War Greymon! This is wrong!" exclaimed Tai.
"It's too late for him! Because you'll be next!"
"Noooo!"
Suddenly, Imperialdramon comes flying out of nowhere and towards the battlegrounds where the two War Greymons were duking it out. He looked up ahead and started to power up to a maximum ki.
"There they are! We have to stop this, Davis!"
"I know. But we're going to need more than just this form to stop them! If only we were some kind of fighter! You know, something that can be able to stop them from fighting! We got only one enemy at this very moment and that's none other than Virus himself! We need more power so that we can stop this pointless fight!"
Suddenly, Imperialdramon felt his ki rise to new heights and his body began going through some form of powerful transformation. Energy was now flowing through his body and giving him the strength that he needs to stop the fighting.
"Imperialdramon! Mode Change! Fighter Mode!"
Imperialdramon stood onto two feet and his body became more human-like. But he still retained some of his distinct dragon-traits, including large wings on his back, his long tail and his dragonhead, which opened up to reveal his cannon.
"Davis?! How did this happen?! We've changed modes? Did something just trigger within our being?"
"I'm guessing so. This is more of a shock to me than you. Wow, this is so radical! Who cares how we achieved! Let's go kick some butt with it!"
Both War Greymons turned around to see what appeared to be large dragon warrior, which in fact, it was Imperialdramon in his fighter form. Black War Greymon looked on in total shock and starts to increase his ki. A ball of energy formed in his hands and it grew into large portions.
"Imperialdramon?! So you've mode changed! Well, lets see you dodge this! Terra Destroyer!"
As soon as the large energy ball cam hurtling towards him, Imperialdramon quickly held out his hand and slapped it away with ease. Black War Greymon looks on in total shock and was growling under his breath.
"How dare you!"
"Black War Greymon. We shouldn't be fighting. You got to listen to us. The only person who we should all be preparing for is Virus! If we don't beat him, then both worlds will die! Do you want everybody to get killed?" asked Imperialdramon.
"If that is to happen then so be it. Nothing will stop me from beating War Greymon and claiming the top spot as the strongest warrior in two worlds! Do I make myself clear?!"
"But it doesn't have to end up like this," War Greymon said.
"Yes. Please listen to reason," said Imperialdramon.
"Never! Terra Destroyer!"
"Terra Force!"
"Positron Laser!"
All three megas shot out their most powerful attacks and all three collided with one another, which caused a huge explosion in the air and a sudden vibration that shook the entire planet within a matter of seconds. A large explosion occurs, and then everything flashes white as the sudden eruptions continue to have its effect on the planet.
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined all gathered together as they all stood over the devastation left behind after the gruesome battle that took place. This was just one accolade that has taken place right before a major event was occur in just five short days.
"That was just one battle, you guys," said War Angemon, "The real war will take place in just five days from now. One of us will be fighting Virus and that one person shall be Omega X."
"That's right. If we all stick together and support him during the fight, then there's no doubt that Virus is going down in defeat!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"My brother has everything under control. Just wait till the War Games," said Celesta X, "Then you all shall see who the most powerful being in two worlds really is."
The children all nodded in agreement and were now pretty confident that Omega X was going to beat Virus in the upcoming War Games. It was pretty obvious. But are they really biting off more than they can chew. Virus still may have not fully exploited the full depth of his true power. So the children are still very unsure how the fight will turn out, but it will be a historic one.
****************************************************************************************
Back at the battlegrounds, Black War Greymon was laid out on the ground with War Greymon and Imperialdramon standing over him. He looks right up at them with an intensified look on his face but then he sighed madly. The dark mega climbs to his feet and looks at his adversaries.
"So, how did you mode change Imperialdramon? That was a sweet move!" Tai cries out.
"I really don't have any idea. I assume it was all because of Davis? Right, partner?"
"You got that right! Do I rock, or what?"
"Oh, boy. There he goes again," War Greymon replied.
"He never changes," the boy of courage snickered.
Suddenly, Black War Greymon cries out and slams his fists through a boulder. He easily shatters it with one slight claw slash. He turns and faces the megas.
"You managed to defeat me. You have now proven to be much more superior to me. Now, I have no choice but to destroy myself. My reputation has been killed."
"Reputation? No, your reputation hasn't been destroyed," Tai said, "Your just confused. Datamon created you for the sole purpose of executing War Greymon and myself. But dammit, Datamon is gone. It's time for you to make a choice. Will you help side with us when the War Games competition takes place? Please, we will need as much support as we can. The fate of two worlds is on the line. Perhaps even the entire level of existence, whether it be digital or real. If we fall in defeat, we can kiss both worlds goodbye."
"Please, understand where we are trying to tell you," War Greymon said, "You have a chance of putting aside your sole purpose and becoming a free soul."
"I'm not sure. All of this is so foreign to me. I do loathe the way Datamon disrespects life itself. And I loathe Virus even more. He must be stopped at all costs. I've seen the past few days of hell he has committed on the earth. But no more will I stand aside and watch for all this to go on. I thank you all for this. Maybe I should put side my warrior ways."
"Yes, we appreciate it. We thank you for understanding what we are going through," said Imperialdramon.
"And if you want my answer, well I guess you'll just have to find out at the War Games competition. Until then, goodbye, my friends…"
Black War Greymon goes flying into the air while going off to search for a secret hideout where he will conserve his energy and get himself prepared for the upcoming War Games competition. Imperialdramon and War Greymon both looked up and were wondering if they will ever see Black War Greymon at the War Games.
"I hope so, Black War Greymon. We hope you can arrive there,"Tai said to himself,"I hope that you will at least support in anyway you can. We all must stick together on this. Everything is on the line. And if we lose, both worlds will be lost. Mark my words, Virus. Omega X will bring you down and your reign of terror shall end."

December 31, 2004 -The Day of the War Games-
Virus stands alone in the middle of his stage while waiting for his challengers to arrive to officially begin the War Games competition at the time of Noon. There was only about an hour remaining before the big competition begins. The fate of two worlds is now on the line in this fight.
Suddenly from a nearby cliff, two well-known digimon, the Gazimons who previously worked for Etemon, were standing by while getting a good camera view of the entire stage. Their camera work was also sending some reception to the digital world through a digital satellite created within the real world.
"Whew, at least the Digi-Destined were willing to let us cross over to their world just for us to begin our movie production career. All right! I don't know if you can hear me, but we are now live at the settings of the historic War Games competition that will determine the fate of both the real and the digital worlds. This is the whole enchilada, people!"
"Yum! I'm sure in the mood for some Mexican food right about now."
"Ugh! It was just a figure of speech. Anyways, this is it! There's only one more hour left before the start of the War Games. Let's all prepare to become victims. Now we shall give you people a good view of how Virus looks before the start of the competition. And he looks just as calm as ever. Who will be our hero and eventually put an end to this evil force that has threatened to destroy both worlds?!"
The stage is now set and two worlds are now on the line! Virus is now waiting. Will our heroes arrive in time before the one hour prelude runs out?

The War Games Begin! Mummymon and Co. Arrives to the Scene!
December 31, 2004 -The day of War Games-
Everything seems peaceful in the real world. Everyone is waiting in anticipation for the biggest showdown to occur in just an hour. It will determine the fate of two worlds. As said by Virus, it he is not defeated, and then both worlds will be destroyed as a result.
However, the Digi-Destined weren't going to allow that to happen as long as they were still alive and thus far, they have endured every obstacle that Virus has thrown at them for these past couple of days. First was the chaotic digimon world invasion, not to mention the attempt to spreading the D-Virus through metallic drones.
But now, everything will be settled in one single competition. A revival of an old digimon competition that was used to determine who should become the dominant species. This time, it is not only to determine the fate of digimon but also that of human's alike.
And this was something that Omega X wasn't going to back down from either. It was either do or die, and Omega X chose to participate and said that he would be the first to fight Virus, but will the others get their chance at getting shots in on Virus? Who knows?
Odaiba
Omega X cracked his knuckles while looking out towards the sun with a sheer determined look on his face. He was now more than ready to taking a shot at Virus and beating him at his very own game. This was the one fight that Omega X has been looking forward ever since Virus reached his final, transformation. All of that training in the time chamber really paid off for his fully fusion evolution. Now he was going to test out every single of his abilities and he firmly believes that Virus will bring the best out of him. This is what Omega X has been begging for and now he shall get it.
Suddenly, he hears footsteps come up from behind him. He turns to see Celesta X along with Mrs. Kamiya.
"All right. We're leaving mom. Kari, are you ready?"
Celesta X nodded and walked right over towards her brother and both siblings both turn to face their mother, who was basically tearing up but with happiness to see her two children saving the world. At first, she was totally against this like all mothers would be, but she understood that there were maturing and are learning to fend for themselves without her.
"Please. I want you two to take good care of yourselves. Please win this battle and come back alive. I just can't bear the thought of losing anyone of you."
"Oh momma. We'll be fine," Celesta X replied, "We've got this in the bag!"
"She's right. We can't lose this battle, this is something that we must win," Omega X said, "If we don't come out alive, then nobody does."
"You two have grown so much. I still remember you as two babies that I could hold in my arms, but now your not. You've managed to take care of yourselves. But I want you to remember this, just because your mature and older doesn't make me your mother. You still live under my roof, is that clear?"
"You got it! So, are we ready to go, Tai?"
Omega X nodded and then placed his two fingers on his head. He held onto Celesta X tightly as they quickly phased out as a form of energy.
"TIME WARP!"
With that said, the two fusion warriors disappeared within the flash of light itself. Mrs. Kamiya fell to her knees and began to cry her eyes out. Mr. Kamiya rushed up to her and held her tightly.
"Please, come back safely. I really mean that, children… you mean the whole world to me… but damn it, this is something you got to do. You kids beat that monster with whatever it takes!"
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Training Grounds
There was a large group waiting and these were none other than the Digi-Destined. Leomon, Shakkoumon, Paildramon, Silphymon, Dinobeemon, Angemon X, and War Angemon were all waiting for both Omega X and Celesta X to arrive. Suddenly, they all felt two powerful ki levels about to arrive and they were right as both Omega X and Celesta X appeared out of nowhere through the Time Warp technique.
They all were ready to go and the last of their training has now ended. This was the moment that they were all waiting for.
"Hey! Tai! Kari! You made it!" exclaimed War Angemon.
"We knew you come but next time, could you warn us next time you use that technique? You almost scared us out of our wits," remarked Shakkoumon.
"Sure, no problem. We didn't mean to scare you like that. At least, we tried to scare ya," replied Celesta X.
"The time has come. This is it everybody. Nobody has any reason to wimp out of this. Is that clear? Ok, good," said Omega X.
Just then, he looks around his surroundings and saw no signs of Metalla X anywhere. This started to worry him, as he knew Matt wouldn't withdraw from getting a shot at Virus.
"Say? Where's Metalla X? Shouldn't Matt and Gabumon be here as Metalla X right about now," asked Omega X.
"He went by himself," replied Leomon.
"Did he? Well then, he must really be very anxious of getting to the fight first," Celesta X said, "I know he wants a shot at Virus that badly. He must improve a lot."
Suddenly, everybody started to stare right over towards Omega X's direction, including Celesta X. They were giving him quite grim expressions on their faces, and Omega X couldn't understand why they would be so down at this very moment.
"Hey! What's the matter, guys," asked Omega X, "Why are you all so sad and so nervous? Do you guys have the bubble guts or something? We can't waste time using the bathroom before the big day."
"Tai. It's not good," replied Dinobeemon, "I mean if we lose this battle, we may very well kiss our butts and this world goodbye. And also that of the Digital World."
"Aw c'mon! Give him a break you guys," said Paildramon. "Don't worry, Tai. We believe in you."
"We just fear of what kind of terrible things that Virus has in store for every single person in our world and every digimon in the Digital World," said Silphymon.
"So, you really think we have what it takes to win this battle after all?" asked Angemon X.
The warrior simply shrugged the silent treatment and chuckled like he always does. Omega X simply grinned. He waved his hands over to them as if he were trying to calm them down and relieve them from out of their sudden depression.
"Dudes! Relax! Nobody is going to die. Virus isn't going to kill anybody."
"Um, hello?! This is Virus we are talking about!" exclaimed War Angemon, "We simply can't trust him. He has a plan up his sleeve and I don't like it a damn bit."
Omega X simply just smiles and then turns to face the dimensional warp door that was starting to form right in front of him. This was the gateway that would lead them right into the Digital World. There, they would prepare for the final confrontation against Virus in a historic battle.
"All right then. Lets get there, now. We only got an hour before it starts. I think I overheard a radio station proclaiming that the event will be at noon, or so I heard. Those radio stations are so way off on their info. Hopefully, nobody beats us to it."
"Unless of course, my brother does. There's no doubt about that,"TK said in War Angemon's thoughts.
Omega X turns around and then waves over to the whole group and then motions over towards the opened portal way. They all nodded and each walked up to him.
"It's going to be noon soon. So we better get there as soon as possible," said Omega X.
With that said, the whole group flies right through the portal door and found themselves flowing through a dimensional vortex before going right through a dimensional doorway leading into the Digital World.
"Good luck, children. The fate of two worlds rest on your shoulders now," Azulongmon said, "Please win this for all of us."
"They are an amazing and resourceful group. I have no doubts that they will win this battle for sure," said Gennai.
As Azulongmon was about to reply to Gennai's comment, the masked warrior named X appears with a look of confidence. Despite being concealed, his grin could easily be interpreted.
"Let's just hope that we right on that prediction. There has never been a major evil force like Virus and this will be a big obstacle even for the Digi-Destined to overcome. But I have full faith in them," X stated. "I have no doubt Tai has a plan in mind."
Gennai nods in agreement and watches as the gateway door began to slowly close up. Now it was all up to the Digi-Destined now. Everything was resting on their shoulders. The entire planet, the Digital World, mankind, digimon kind and the galaxies from both universes were at stake. It was kill or be killed in an act of defending one's territory.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Miles outside Tokyo, Japan
Dust began to collect on the ground as Virus stood on top of the stage of his platform. He stood there waiting patiently and crossing his arms. There's only about an hour left and he would show the entire Digital and Real World what he is really made of. He looks up to the sky and a grin forms across his devious face.
"It's going to start soon. Just fifteen minutes until the prelude to doomsday is at hand. Hurry up, Taichi. You and the Digi-Destined don't have time to waste. Better yet, unless you want to put you're precious planet into jeopardy."
Just then, the two Gazimon television crew peer over from a nearby cliff to get a good look at the platform stage and the way Virus set it all up. They all looked over at Virus and a nervous look come across their faces. The announcer has a tag name reading 'Bill' and the cameraman has a nametag reading 'Ted.'
"Hello, Real and Digital Worlds respectively! This is Bill Gazimon! The War Games will officially start in fifteen minutes," said Bill. "This competition itself will determine the fate of both worlds. Damn, I'm sounding like those wrestling announcers. But it seems no one has come to view this spectacle. Hell, I don't blame them. Nobody would ever want to trust this guy. I know I wouldn't. They're probably afraid that they will get hurt. Just like you see… I hope the earthlings and our fellow digimon back home are watching this, since we were able to get a connection into the Digital World through one of our old networks. You can surely thank Etemon for that one. Yeah, that overrated loser got what came to him. He never gave me my paycheck! Man, thank god a Socerermon helped revive my memory from that Mushroom of Forgetfulness."
****************************************************************************************
New York City, New York
A group of New Yorkers all gathered around to watch the actually fight from Times Squares through that large screen. The once busy city all watched in anticipation. Hell, even the whole world all watched in sudden anticipation.
"Whoa, this is going to be a kick ass show!" a group of punk rock kids shouted.
"It'll sure beat that Metallica and Evanescence concerts! Hell, maybe even Wrestlemania!" another teenage group cries out.
"Don't these kids realize that the world is at stake?" an executive replied. "Kids these days…"
"Hey! At least, we'll get a kick out of this one, pops!" a girl cries out.
"So, you better keep you're mouth shut or we'll kick your ass!"
"The last thing we need is a mosh pit."
****************************************************************************************
Kyoto
A blue-haired boy watched the event with his family. The mother held a baby with a tiny strand of purple hair on her forehead. The baby cried which forced the mother to comfort the tiny one. The boy watched as the camera view was starting to focus and a shot of Virus was shown.
"I hope somebody kicks that creep to the curb," the boy growls.
****************************************************************************************
Virus remained in the same stance and has kept his focus on his upcoming confrontation with Omega X. He stood there as if he were a statue and standing right in the middle of the platform. The artificial was anticipated the moment every minute that passes.
"As you can see, Virus hasn't even moved a bit and we all wonder what he is truly thinking. He's not even going to make some sort of announcement concerning who has stepped up to participate. We don't know for sure, who will get a shot at him."
Virus stands in the middle of the stage, oblivious to the Bill and Ted. He just considered them as inferior wastes and simply ignores them.
Suddenly, Bill gasped as he looked over towards an approaching cloud of dust. It seems as though someone was coming and in a real hurry.
"Ah! I see a car! A pretty nice old model but… I see two people in it!"
The mysterious vehicle pulls to a sudden stop near the stage itself. The dust settles down, and the view they get is from the ground up on the bottom left side. The car is yellow and the letters "A & M" are on the side. The door swings open and two figures emerge. One appears to be a man in a blue suit with a huge hat covering his entire face. He was holding a cane in his hand and the other was a white-haired woman with a red outfit attire and purple boots.
"Ah! Is it, who I think it is?! Ah! Yes! It's Arukenimon and Mummymon! The two most devious digimon of this sector has arrived and there's no doubt that their powers are enough to put Virus away for good."
A better view of the car is shown and it is no doubt their traveling vehicle. It fully reads 'Arukenimon & Mummymon' on the front view. Mummymon gives a peace sign out towards the camera and gives a cheesy smile on his face. Arukenimon simply grabs and refrains him from acting like a total buffoon.

"And Mummymon is not shy mummy when it comes to pleasing his fans! He truly is a remarkable digimon. He's loved among his fans!"
***************************************************************************************
New York City, New York
The crowd in Times Square were all getting a kick out of Mummymon's idiotic behavior and this easily catches their attention. Now the crowds were chanting his name as if he were famous already. These people simply can't find a better role model and will cheer for anyone who opposes Virus.
"Yeah! You do, dude!" the teenage crowd shouted.
"You know he reminds me of that dude from The Mummy," a man stated.
"Kick that creep's ass, whoever you are!" a woman cries out.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Mummymon simply walks on the stage with a look of determination on his face. Arukenimon stood by at the side to watch him as a sweat drop came down from her head.
"Please, don't embarrass me, Mummymon. I tried so hard to make you vicious, but your more like Pussymon than Mummymon,Arukenimon said in her thoughts.
Mummymon tosses his cane up and catches it with one hand. Virus pays barely any attention to him, not even bothering to turn around. Mummymon chuckles to himself as he approaches, and Virus finally bothers to at least turn his head to see who his opponent shall be.. Mummymon stands and points right over to Virus, then does a thumbs-down gesture. Bill then screams right through his microphone.
"Mummymon has now already shown his signs of victory already! He sure is wonderful! What a role model he is for each and every one of us!"
"So, you're just going to forget about me too?"
"No, Ms. Arukenimon, I'm just saying that Mummymon is loved among his fans."
"Yeah but I'm loved among the female variety."
"That's your opinion and you can stick to it. But this is all about Mummymon today! He's going to save both worlds from the evil Virus!"
"Yes! I can feel it. Mummymon will win, because if he doesn't, then he's going to have to kiss my feet."
"And you're a spider-lady, aren't you supposed to have eight toes?"
Suddenly, Arukenimon bitch-slaps Bill right through a nearby stage platform with a angry look on her face. She turns with a scary look on her face.
"Hey! Nobody talks about my feet like that! I'm a spider! What do you expect?!"
"Sorry… I didn't mean to insult you there… Now let us get on with our show… Miss Spider Bitch… Crap, my pubic bone…"
Bill quickly picks himself up and resumed his reporting on the War Games competition and starting his hype towards the historic event.
"By the looks of it, it seems that Virus is already sweating bullets and looking nervous. He knows that Mummymon will tear him apart!"
Virus continues to stare right at Mummymon with a smile on his face. He wondered to himself if Mummymon was going to be the first to face him. Mummymon was sure full of himself.
"You got to be kidding me… right?"
"There are now ten minutes left before the start of the War Games competition!" exclaimed Bill, "The contest between Virus and Mummymon shall begin pretty soon! If you ask me, I think Mummymon will beat the crap out of Virus!"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, each and every single of the Digi-Destined's parents are all watching the pre-game show through their television sets. They would soon watch their children participate in this global event and have the power to finally put Virus to rest once and for all. They didn't buy into the whole Mummymon ordeal and took it as a form of promotional crap.
Even the Kamiya family wasn't buying into Mummymon's chirades. They were anticipating for their children to make their appearance. Yet, Mrs. Kamiya could only fear for the worst for her children.
"Oh, why did they have to accept this challenge?" Mrs. Kamiya cried to herself.
"I hope this cocky fool gets his ass handed to him," replied Mr. Kamiya. "If anybody deserves that shot at that monster, it's our son!"
"He beat one monster before. He can do it again."
"Because he is our son. Don't you forget, a Kamiya never quits."
***************************************************************************************
"Mummymon! We are all hoping that you teach Virus a lesson and kick his ass out of town!" exclaimed Bill.
Mummymon walks right up to Virus, who, despite what Bill had just said, still shows no signs of fear. Mummymon takes his first step onto the arena platform.
"Mummymon is now going up onto the platform stage! The event will start in nine minutes! He's full of confidence! No wonder he's one of the strongest digimon we have to offer! He's one of a kind!"
Mummymon pulls himself all the way up onto the platform and stares right over towards Virus, who doesn't even turn anything more than his head. Mummymon motions over towards the TV crew and motions for them to come a little closer. This took Bill and Ted back suddenly.
"He's asking us to go down there?"
"Just go! Your wasting precious TV time on your part," Arukenimon said.
"Yes! Lets go! We're professionals out doing our job! Lets show our viewing audience our courage! Besides Mummymon and Arukenimon are here, we should be safe!"
Bill and Ted ran across the ground together, while searching for a safer spot to interview Mummymon. Bill goes and tries to get some words from Mummymon.
"Everyone, take a good look at this image full of raw intensity! The bravest reporter in the entire digital world!"
They both stop when they get to the side of the platform stage, and they both stare right up at Mummymon, who was quickly giving a mug shot.
"Should we come up on the platform too?"
"Don't worry. I'm here," said Mummymon.
"All right then."
Bill climbs up onto the stage and holds the microphone over to Mummymon. Bill tried to suppress his fears out but he felt much safer as long as he was around Mummymon.
"So, how do you feel now, Mummymon?" asked Bill.
"Well let's see here… Hmm… Oh! Yes, I sympathize with Virus, who had a wrong calculation. Maybe he didn't know someone like myself and Arukenimon exist in the whole digital world."
"Yes, Yes. That's right."
Mummymon removes his coat and hat to reveal the real him, a Mummymon with a large gun in his hand. Now he looked more than ready to fight in this form rather than his previous clumsy form. Ted moves in for a better view.
"He's too proud. He hasn't apologized to me, even at this stage. Listen, Virus! I've seen through you! You used all those drones and digimon as a form of trick! Yeah they were just illusions just to send scares among the people on earth and the digital world! I know what your whole game plan was!"
Virus just stands there and doesn't even respond to Mummymon's threatening words.
"You're just pretending that you can't hear me. You're panicking, because I just told the truth."
Bill laughs it up and then glares right over at Virus.
"Let's punk his ass out!"
Both Bill and Mummymon started laughing towards Virus and made a complete mockery out of him. Seemingly, Virus kept his composure to himself and stands there as if nothing were bothering him at this very moment.
"Now, I'm just going to have to kick his ass!" exclaimed Mummymon.
With that said, Mummymon quickly turns around and bends over. He then pats his backside in Virus' general direction. Cheers and applause roar up from the Gazimons and among the whole digital world that were watching, well at least ones who supported Mummymon.
Now, the people of earth have also caught on with Mummymon and started to chant his name already.
"Yes! Mummymon will save both worlds! Can you feel this emotion and excitement?! I sure as hell can! Eat your heart out, Babe Ruth!"
With that said, Mummymon starts making faces towards Virus in hopes of furthering infuriating the evil artificial. But that doesn't even seem to bother Virus the least a bit. He wasn't worried and would soon have a much better challenge, in the form of Omega X.
****************************************************************************************
[Disturbed "Stupify" plays]
Meanwhile, elsewhere, there were eight glowing forms racing across the skies of the digital world. Omega X , Celesta X, Leomon, Angemon X, War Angemon, Paildramon, Shakkoumon and Silphymon, all completely silent, contemplating the upcoming battle. Up ahead, five more digimon and their partners were waiting for them in the sky. War Angemon calls out to them happily. As the eight approached the other five, they become recognizable as Altur Kabuterimon, Garudamon, Lillymon, Seadramon and Zudomon, already shot out auras around them. Mimi, Michael, Joe, Sora and Izzy waved over to the group.
"Hey! It's the others!" exclaimed Celesta X, "We're glad that you could make it."
"We'll go as well," said Sora.
"But I guess we won't be taking part in the competition," replied Garudamon.
Omega X simply nods his head in agreement and a smile comes across his face. This meant that he clearly understands and is willing to let them watch as spectators.
"Al right then. Lets go! We don't have much time anyway," said Omega X.
Now the thirteen-person group continued on towards the competition location by rising their ki levels and flying as fast as they could to get over there in a matter of moments. All of which have a smile on their face and are all quiet at this very moment. They were now more focused than ever.
****************************************************************************************
Back at the tournament location, Mummymon continues on making a complete fool out of himself and makes more funny faces towards Virus, but he pays them no attention. He seemingly has his sights on something approaching the competition.
Mummymon then stops making faces and goes on to laugh at Virus, then smacks himself across the head a few times.
"Mummymon seems to be calm! His calmness has totally beaten Virus! Even before the competition, we can see that victory is will with Mummymon!" exclaimed Bill.
Suddenly, Virus looks right over towards Bill, but then looks right above him and right into the sky. Bill takes notice of this and looks right up into the sky with a confused look on his face.
"Hmm?"
Bill looks back right behind himself and then he notices a flash of light appearing in the sky's horizon. Something was approaching this direction. Then that same light turned into a bright point that resided in the sky itself.
"Hey what is that?" asked Arukenimon.
"I don't know. Ted! Get a good view of that approaching light!" said Bill.
Ted Gazimon quickly turns around and gets a really good view of the approaching light and managed to get a good view of who was approaching.
"What's going on?" pondered Mummymon.
Virus simply turns around and a huge smirk comes across his face. He could easily recognize this incoming ki level approaching the competition.
"Ah! Yamato. It's you again and it seems that your Metalla X form has gotten a lot stronger since last time."
The warrior of friendship known as Metalla X appears and is finally at a recognizable distance. He then hovers right down and reaches towards the stage. He then settles onto the ground with a determined look on his face. Bill stares right over towards him with a confused look on his face. Metalla X stares right over towards Virus silently and not taking his eyes off of the evil artificial.
"Wow! A stranger has suddenly appeared! It looked as though he was flying from the sky itself!" exclaimed Bill.
"No duh, moron!" remarked Arukenimon.
"What a cheap trick! I've seen movies with better special effects," said Mummymon.
"He couldn't really be taking part in the War Games, could be?" Bill pondered.
Bill scurries right over towards Metalla X with a microphone in his hand and he looked determined to get some answers from him, but he has no idea of who he was about to speak to. Bill does not realize that this warrior was one of the Digi-Destined children who invaded Etemon's network.
"I'll ask me. Ahem, who are you?! If you came to see the competition, it's dangerous to come so near. You'll likely to get burned."
"Shut up! Don't talk to me anymore! Take you're reports and shove 'em, journalist!" exclaimed Metalla X.
Bill steps away and looked at him with a confused look on his face. He holds his microphone tightly and stomps his feet on the ground. He then turns and scurries back towards to hide by Mummymon.
"He's not very friendly. I'll just stick by you. I don't like the looks of this guy," said Bill.
"Nah. He's probably one of my loyal fans. Besides, he knows better than to stay out of my way. This is no place for amateurs."
Virus simply grins, while Metalla X looks over right at him silently. Metalla X now has his chance of revenge but will he be big enough threat for the fully evolved Virus after training in the time chamber for a second time.
Bill looks right down at his watch and noticed there were several more minutes left before the start of the big War Games competition.
"The War Games is drawing near. Everyone's attention, it will start in five short minutes! Just like our forecast, Mummymon is the only contestant to fight with Virus. But this is reasonable; Mummymon is one of the best that the digital world has to offer with the legend of the fusion warriors only being a myth itself. Just Mummymon is already good enough!"
Suddenly, another figure comes soaring in overhead and they all look up to see whom it is. It was Black War Greymon. The dark mega hovers down and settles towards the side of the stage. Virus looks back at him, and the news crew and Mummymon turn, as well. Even Metalla X looks up.
"Whoa! Looks like somebody else has decided to show up!" exclaimed Bill.
"He's playing a trick as well," said Mummymon.
"Well, it's really taken me by surprise," Virus said, "It's Black War Greymon. I thought he was vanquished. Plus, he's new and improved. I take it Koushiro, Miyako and Ichijouji were responsible for this."
Black War Greymon glares right over at Virus silently and his eyes start to flash from the sunlight beaming down on him. There was a sudden tinkle in his left eye.
"Well Black War Greymon decided to show up? Well he's not going to be much of a difference in this battle," Matt said in Metalla X's thoughts.
"Hey! Virus just said something to that thing? Is he a friend of that black robotic monster?" pondered Bill.
"They don't seem to be that special," remarked Arukenimon.
Virus then tilts his head just a bit. He stares off at what seems to be nothing, and finally, he smiles.
"Ah. Taichi. Omega X is finally here. I've been waiting for you for a very long time," Virus said.
Thirteen more glowing warriors appear in the clouds from high above. Bill looks up and noticed something else. He points up and catches Mummymon's attention.
"Look! Up there!" exclaimed Bill.
"What the hell? Man, this isn't a movie! Leave this fight to the professionals!"
[Disturbed "Stupify" plays once again]
The group is then shown as a whole, and then each individually. Omega X, Celesta X, Angemon X, War Angemon, Shakkoumon, Silphymon and Paildramon all appear in the front row. Then Leomon, Garudamon, Lillymon, Altur Kabuterimon, Zudomon and Seadramon all followed them down.
"Look! Down there!" exclaimed Izzy.
Omega X looks right down at the stage below and motions over to the others following him. He points down and flies right over to the stage.
"There. Let's go."
The thirteen of them suddenly turn off their current course and fly right in for the landing. All eyes are on the incoming Fusion warriors, Digi-Destined and their digimon, except from those of Metalla X and Black War Greymon. Omega X lands first, followed by Celesta X and War Angemon, then Angemon X and the three ultimate-leveled fusion warriors land. Then, Leomon, the four ultimates and the champion landed. War Angemon and Celesta X stood side by side, with Leomon standing behind War Angemon. Omega X and Angemon X stand front and center among the group as if they were the leading generals of the team. Across the stage from them was Black War Greymon.
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined's parents all watched on as they knew some of their own children are within the digimon in their fusion forms. They watched in anticipation for whatever could go down.
***************************************************************************************
Somewhere in the outskirts of Odaiba
A group of teenage girls were watching the event take place. Just then, a certain red-haired teen came walking in and she caught a glimpse of Paildramon. She fell back in shock, which managed to catch her friend's attention.
"What's wrong, Riley?"
"That creature! That's the one who saved me from that creep! That monster who attacked is that one!"
"Virus?"
"Yeah! But this guy," Riley pointed to Paildramon. "He might not look the same as he was before, but I recognize that face. Maybe it's a hunch, but I believe it is him. Show him what you're made of, whoever you are!"
"That girl has issues," another teen muttered to herself.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venus. Miles away from Tokyo, Japan
Virus grins and finally uncrosses his arms. He then turns forward to face everyone, even the TV crewmen.
"Welcome, everybody."
"Ugh! Why did they have to show up?!"Metalla X thought.
"And all of them have flown here! What is this world coming too?!" exclaimed Bill.
"Must be a pretty popular trick," Arukenimon remarked, "Those children actually were training their digimon to participate in this competition. Ha. What a farce."
Just then, Black War Greymon walks right over towards the Digi-Destined as they all turned to face him. He walks over to join them. The cameraman turns around in order to catch his every single movement… Paildramon turns around and noticed Black War Greymon walking up to them. Paildramon was more than happy to see that Black War Greymon decided to show up.
"Hey! So you made it after all?! I knew you reconsider."
"Yes, thank you, Paildramon. I thought this long and hard. I still share the same disgust for Virus as you do."
"Well that's great to know."
Just then, Omega X was walking up towards Black War Greymon as he quickly extended out his hand towards the dark mega. Black War Greymon looks right down at him.
"We must do all of our best," Omega X said, "So you really did reconsider of joining with us against Virus?"
Black War Greymon quickly looks right down at Omega X with a sheer look of fury. He looked like if he were about to rip Omega X's head off right about now. Everyone suddenly stops, not knowing what to expect. After several moments of silence, Black War Greymon speaks up in a low tone.
"Omega X. I was still designed to kill you, but I chose not to. Now we shall work together in killing Virus, but that doesn't mean I will join your team. I'm a lone warrior."
"Hmmm?"
Omega X turns back towards Paildramon and whispers in his ear.
"Talk about Mr. Personality, Davis."
"I know but he's still going to help us, without a doubt."
Everyone watched the whole Digi-Destined team with concerned looks on their faces. They then brought their attention back to the competition itself.
"They've overshadowed me!" remarked Mummymon. "Nobody steals my damn thunder!"
Omega X cracks his knuckles and starts to stretch out a bit. The others look on with smiles on their faces and suddenly realize that Tai still hasn't lost his arrogant attitude. Its still very much there, but he seems pretty sure of himself.
"Good! Now let me be the first to contest," said Omega X.
This quickly catches the others by surprise and didn't expect these turn of events all of a sudden. Even, Angemon X was surprised at what he just heard from Omega X.
"Eh?! But Tai, it's not necessary," said Angemon X, "We also would like our shots at him as well."
Omega X looks right over to Angemon X and scratches his head in a confused manner.
"Really? Alright, Matt?"
"Whatever you say," Metalla X replied, "No matter how, I'm the one that beats him."
Mummymon stares right over towards the group with wide-eyes, then he narrows his eyes and starts yelling over to them in order to get their attention.
"Hey! You can't decide the order!"
Bill walks right over towards Omega X and his friends in order to get some questions answered from them, including what their purpose for being in the competition stage.
"Excuse me, are you guys also going to be participants in the War Games?"
"That's right," said War Angemon, "But not all of us."
"Oh… I see…"
Mummymon quickly runs right over towards the group and tosses Bill to the side with sheer anger.
"Ow! My hip!"
"Nonsense! This is not a game! You don't know what you punks are getting yourselves into?!"
"Oh no. You're the one who doesn't know," remarked Silphymon.
"Silphymon!" exclaimed Dinobeemon, "You're only going to get him angrier."
"Well, it's not my fault that he's a dirt bag! Ugh!"
Mummymon is suddenly shocked by their vulgar comments and was about to let them have it but he remained cool, controlled his anger and chuckled at them.
"I'm surprised that you guys don't know who I am. I'm Mummymon, supreme master of the digital world fighting competition! I'm the best, with my sweet love, Arukenimon coming in as a close second!"
"Hey! Just because I'm a woman doesn't make you any better!" screamed Arukenimon.
"Oh poofie! I'm the ultimate fighter and you know it and you guys better take a good look at me! I'm the champion of the digital world!"
The fusion warriors stood there with awed looks on their faces. They were quite disturbed by his sudden ignorance. They didn't know what to make of him, since they have no idea who Mummymon really is. How could he claim to be the champion of the digital world? What a maroon!
"That's right! Mummymon is the champion of the digital world! He's defeated one of the best to get to the top and you guys better recognize whom he really is! He's a great fighting champion!" exclaimed Bill.
Bill suddenly falls off the stage and lands right on his head. Silphymon and Paildramon could only look on with total disgust. The other non-fused Digi-Destined kids all turned away from their sudden ignorance.
"Alright then! Let me show you what I am truly capable of!" exclaimed Mummymon.
Mummymon jumps off of the stage and lands right in front of the group. Omega X takes notice of this and quirks an eyebrow. Mummymon reaches out to the ground and grabs a small rock. He tugs on it, and he pulls it out of the ground. It turned out to be a large boulder. He tosses it right up into the air and pulls out his gun. He then fires what looks like a electric bolt of energy with tape coming out.
"Snake Bandage!"
That attack easily disintegrated the boulder and this quickly catches the Bill's interests as they cheered on. Arukenimon even clapped but she kept her opinions to herself.
"My god! He truly is fabulous! Mummymon is unbelievable!" Bill rambled on.
The group is now amazed, however not with Mummymon's abilities, but with the fact that the digital world are quite impressed with such a guy such as this one. He's turned out to be such a weakling in their eyes. It's not even funny. Then there is silence for a few moments.
"Huh?! They're not even amazed at all! Bunch of wankers!" remarked Bill.
"Ah, they're just jealous," said Arukenimon.
War Angemon looks right over towards Omega X as if he were now going to make a comment right about now and he was.
"Tai."
Omega X simply looks over right towards War Angemon.
"What, TK?"
"Just let him be the first one to go. I want to see his ass kicked so badly."
"No problem. You just read my mind. This could provide us some entertainment."
Virus cleared his throat and then turns around to face everybody in order to get their attention over towards him since the one hour preparations have concluded.
"It is time."
Omega X simply grins over the sheer fact that he was going to see Mummymon getting his ass handed to him the hard way. Metalla X is just as emotionless as ever. Leomon, the four ultimates and the champion all stare forward solemnly. Silphymon, Dinobeemon and Shakkoumon watch on with sheer determination. Paildramon and Angemon X stare right over towards Virus. Even determination occupies the faces of both War Angemon and Celesta X. Bill and Ted could only look towards the digimon group with confusion and anger at the same time. Mummymon and Arukenimon just simply watched them with arrogant looks.
The entire real world are watching in anticipation and hope that the Digi-Destined will defeat Virus once and for all. Even the International Digi-Destined are hoping from the best and praying that Virus is defeated. The parents of the Digi-Destined could only hope for the best and the safety of their own children.
Omega X and Virus glare right at each other at the stage. These two will get it on, hopefully after Mummymon gets his no good butt kicked after talking so much trash to Virus and his threats.
****************************************************************************************
Odaiba. The soon to be former home of the Matsuki Residence
Looking on through a television set in his own home, a little boy with a blue shirt and brown shorts was watching the live War Games broadcast. After putting the finishing touches on his dragon digimon drawing, he took a look at the idiotic charades Mummymon was pulling off.
"What a moron. He's so going to get himself beat," the boy replied. "Those warriors on the other side look pretty strong. Could they be one of those creatures that appeared in Odaiba years ago? Wow, they're so awesome."
He took a glance at his drawing of the dragon and pulls out his red ink marker. He starts coloring inside his drawing and smiles with satisfaction.
"Yeah. That should do it. Now to give you a proper name."
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venus. Miles outside Tokyo, Japan. Noon.
A shot of the entire venue is shown from the top view and it looks as though everyone is looking towards each other rather than Virus. Somebody still hasn't made their decision as to whether who the first person will be to fight Virus in this historic battle.
There is now complete silence and everyone is still at this very moment. The digimon group watches quietly, waiting for Mummymon to begin his fight. Mummymon begins to smile like a fool with his hands on his hips, still completely confident and sure of himself. Virus is just as unimpressed by Mummymon's antics as are the fusion warriors.
"Well? I'm waiting. I really don't give a damn who comes first," Virus replied.
Mummymon growled under his breath and takes a step forward on the ring platform. He then points over towards the artificial and began another tirade.
"I will, of course! Get ready to get you're ass handed to you, boy!"
Mummymon drops his gun and then gets into a fighting stance. Omega X goes to yell something out towards Mummymon but War Angemon holds him back.
"No, Tai. You can't possibly make him understand," said War Angemon.
"But I can't just let it happen."
Omega X turns his attention over towards the stage and goes to yell something out towards Mummymon, in order to catch his attention.
"Excuse me! Mummymon! If you are to fight Virus now, you will be killed! You mustn't take part in the competition!"
Both Mummymon and Bill look right over towards him with confused looks on their faces. But they were quite angry at his words. Bill looks back at Mummymon, and they both shrug in unison. Bill turns around to face the Ted's TV camera.
"Hey, Ted! Take a shot at this bunch of fools over here! I've never met such a cocky ass group!"
The cameraman turns around to get a really good shot of the whole digimon group who were watching on from the other side.
"I can even hear the shouts and screams of the entire digimon population around here! Do you know what this guy over here just told Mummymon?! He said that you will be killed and that you must not take part in the competition… That's what he said! What a high conduct of un-sportsmanship!"
"Ugh, forget it. Just let this idiot do what he wants," said Paildramon, "Even if he's killed, he can use Azunlongmon's digicores to restore him."
Omega X eventually gives in and nods in agreement.
"Alright, that seems to be the only way then."
Omega X waved over towards Bill, giving a signal as if to tell him that he will wait for his turn to come if in the event that Mummymon is defeated. Which will most definitely be taking place.
"Oh! Looks like they finally understand! I take back everything I said about those guys!" exclaimed Bill, "But everyone should know their lives are spared."
"They've finally understood," replied Mummymon. "Now, it's my time to shine!"
"Oh yes, no more interruptions this time," Arukenimon said.
Mummymon goes and gets into yet another fighting stance as he prepares to fight the evil artificial.
"After the interruption by those strange people, Mummymon is ready again for the competition!"
"Hold on! Not unless we come as well!" exclaimed a voice.
They whole group all look up into the air and see a hovercraft arriving and landing down onto the ground. A voice had just come out through an intercom on the hovercraft. The reporter and the Digi-Destined all began to wonder who maybe have stopped this fight at the very last minute as it was about to start.
"What's going?!" pondered Paildramon.
A huge grin forms across the face of Mummymon as the hovercraft door opens up. Just then, a large elephant-like skeleton creature comes jumping out and landing onto the ground. And the other was a green, muscular man with a mask over his face and huge battle-axe on his back. They jump overhead and land right near Arukenimon.
"Some strange people have appeared right in front of Arukenimon and Mummymon!" exclaimed Bill, "Who are they?!"
"More strangers?" Dinobeemon pondered to himself.
The two run around the whole stage, doing a little pose together. They then called out their official name in unison.
"We are Arukenimon's and Mummymon's most loyal disciples! We are the Digital World's version of: Demolition!"
The green man holds up his battle-axe and flexes for the camera. He then flips away and tosses his battle axe right up into the air. He then catches it with one hand behind his back.
"I have the most sexiest body in the digital world and my battle axe is the most destructive instrument ever used in battle! I am Boltmon! A mega-leveled cyborg type! My attacks include Tomahawk Steiner and the Run Amuck!"
[Digimon Analyzer: Boltmon. Mega Level. Cyborg Type. Special Techniques: Tomahawk Steiner & Run Amuck]
The large, skeleton creature stomps the ground and cries out with sheer intensity with smoke coming out of his proboscis. More steam seems to be coming right out of his ears as well.
"I'm Skull Mammothmon! I am too a mega-leveled ghost type digimon! My attacks include Spiral Bone Crusher and Dash attack!"
[Digimon Analyzer: Skull Mammothmon. Mega Level. Ghost Type. Special Techniques: Bone Crusher & Dash Attack]
The entire Digi-Destined and fusion warrior team look on at the performance with dumbfounded looks on their faces. They were quite shocked to see such a bunch of goofballs making jackasses out of themselves in such an important event such as this.
"They seem to be Mummymon's friends," Bill said.
Arukenimon walks up towards Bill with a smile on her face. She points over to the two mega-level warriors.
"Let me introduce them. These two are the first and second disciples of Mummymon and myself. They are also the second and third strongest in the entire digital world," explained Arukenimon. "You should thank me. I opened a Digital Port for them to come here. Baihumon was kind enough to do so."
"Oh! That must be really something! We should really give credit to him!" exclaimed Bill.
"And I was the one who got them into this dance and they really learned a lot from myself and Mummymon. You won't be disappointed."
"Master, for someone like that, don't even get your hands dirty," said Boltmon.
Skull Mammothmon smashes his fists together and was growling angrily towards Virus.
"Let us take care of him for you," growled Skull Mammothmon.
Mummymon rubs his chin and looks right over towards Virus, and then he turns his focus back onto his two disciples. A smile came across his face and he nods in agreement.
"Hmmm, right. For such a guy, it's not right for me to deal with him personally. I'll let you do it for me then."
With that said, Mummymon turned and walked off the stage.
"Oh everyone! Did you hear that?! Mummymon's two disciples swore that they could defeat Virus! They are really our saviors! I hope your hearing that humans of earth! You got new heroes now!"
"Tch! Those idiots don't know what they're getting themselves into," remarked Metalla X.
"Ugh and I thought Mummymon was bad," said Paildramon. "These guys could do good on the late-night comedy hour. Take it back, their performance would suck."
"The War Games shall begin!" exclaimed Bill, "And the first contestant shall be none other than Boltmon!"
"I am Boltmon! And I'm the first to go! Alright Virus here I come!"
Boltmon stepped onto the stage and faces against the evil artificial.
"Don't you worry, because once I'm done with you, you will be dead."
"Amazing! Boltmon is quite a powerhouse fighter and he no doubt has the tools needed to beat this monster! Is that right, Arukenimon?" asked Bill.
"Of course! He's one of our disciples and he definitely has the tools needed to accomplish anything that he wishes," said Arukenimon.
War Angemon and Paildramon both slapped themselves in the faces at what they were seeing right before them. They couldn't believe that they were going to let these sideshows take their shots at Virus first.
"Ugh, what's the matter with these guys?" asked Silphymon, "They're idiots! I've seen plenty of morons in my life, but these guys are beyond the level of stupidity."
Boltmon grins and then pulls out his battle-axe. He hops from foot to foot, back and forth, for a few seconds. Finally, he stops and prepares to fight Virus.
"The War Games, determining the fate of two worlds, has started!" exclaimed Bill, "The rules are simple! Whoever falls down from the platform, gives up, or gets killed will be regarded as the loser!"
"What are you scared now, Virus?!" remarked Boltmon, "What? Your pain will be very short."
Boltmon swings his battle-axe around and then points it right over towards Virus. He arches back and then tosses the battle-axe right over to him.
"Tomahawk Steiner!"
Boltmon leaps up into the air and the extends his arms out as if he were about to shoot out some powerful blasts right over towards the evil artificial, who seemed to be still as a statue and not seeing the axe that was coming right for him.
"Whoa! He's now jumped extremely high! And that battle axe is going to cut down Virus to size," exclaimed Bill.
"That's Boltmon's best attack," said Arukenimon, "We will soon see who the winner shall be."
[Drowning Pool "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" plays]
Boltmon stares right down at Virus with a smirk on his face. But then, Boltmon's momentum quickly ended as Virus slaps the battle-axe away with one hand. This causes Boltmon to gasp in shock. Virus then sends out a few short waves of energy. Boltmon screams and flies higher into the air. He then screams as he flies right up into the air. Bill and Arukenimon both stand waiting for him to return. The wind begins to blow
"Wow! He's still flying," exclaimed Bill.
"Maybe he such in a good mood right about now," said Arukenimon.
Suddenly, an ever-increasingly loud sound rings out around them. This catches them both off guard. Billlooks up and then sees Boltmon crashing right down into the ground. Boltmon pulls himself out from the ground and then lies down with a huge bump on his face.
"What in the blue hell was that?!" Bill pondered.
"He must have flown too much," remarked Arukenimon, "Ugh! I told you not pull off that acrobatic crap!"
Mummymon walks right in between them and looks right down at Boltmon, who seemed to be out cold and unconscious.
"He's good and talented, but he has a bad habit of being carried away so easily."
Mummymon stares right up into the sky with a concerned look on his face. He rubs his chin and quirks an eyebrow.
"That's why he couldn't beat me and I'm a freaking ultimate-level fighter!"
"Yes! Your right! Boltmon may be a mega but you got experience," said Arukenimon, "Plus he's more idiotic than you are."
"I see," replied Bill.
Boltmon slowly crawls from the ground and sprawls out like a dead fish. Omega X looks right over towards Virus, and the two mega powers have an intense stare down.
"Boltmon fell off of the platform!" exclaimed Bill, "He has lost the game! Such a talent has lost. What a shame."
"Please, that guy has no game," Sora thought.
Just then, Skull Mammothmon gets onto the stage and roars angrily at Virus. He was more than ready to attempt to tear Virus a good one for taking out Boltmon like that. He takes a breath and starts pounding his chest.
"Let me send Virus packing! Let me have him!" roared Skull Mammothmon.
"This guy has the ability and the power of more than ten normal Mammothmon, which makes him a mega-level monster! He can also kill a normal Mammothmon with one blow, heck even a Skull Greymon if he wanted to," explained Arukenimon.
"Wow! What power! What raw strength!" Bill exclaimed.
"Trust me. Skull Mammothmon won't be as careless as Boltmon," said Mummymon.
"That's for sure! Virus is pathetic! He's going to get his butt handed to him, courtesy of Skull Mammothmon!" exclaimed Arukenimon.
Skull Mammothmon roared loudly and smacks his feet together. He then begins to rotate his shoulders until his limbs become a blur. He roars and rushes right for Virus.
"Yes and now Skull Mammothmon is really hitting hard," said Bill.
"Now he's going to go for his Spiral Bone Crusher attack!" replied Arukenimon.
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Suddenly, Skull Mammothmon stops instantly a few feet away from Virus and he is frozen still. Something seems to be really holding back, some sort of unknown force. He struggles to move on, but it gets harder and harder as he draws even closer. He tries to move forward but he is unable to.
"Skull Mammothmon has stopped! What the hell is going on here?!" exclaimed Bill.
Skull Mammothmon finally goes flying back from an unknown force and then flies right out of the stage. He screams out.
"I give up!"
Skull Mammothmon falls backwards off of the stage, almost squashing Mummymon as a result of that. Arukenimon and Bill ran up to check upon the condition of Skull Mammothmon.
"What in the hell happened?!" asked Bill, "Mummymon?"
"It's a trick."
"Huh?!"
"Yeah because Virus is afraid of me. He's managed to set up a lot of traps on the platform. What a low creature. He must have put down some green pepper powder, which Skull Mammothmon hates the most. There must be some traps on the platform! But now I'm going to expose those dirty tricks of his!" exclaimed Mummymon.
"I see! Though we aren't sure when he did it, in a one on one contest, he's used to such dirty tricks," said Bill.
"Ugh! No, don't they realize that Virus just simply blew them away, with his own energy" said War Angemon.
"They need to watch more carefully," said Leomon, "They're obviously blind fools."
"Now because of his two disciples being defeated by Virus, Mummymon is very angry," said Bill, "Now he is getting onto the platform!"
Mummymon steps forward onto the platform with a look of sheer determination and anger. Now he was going to make Virus pay for what he had done to his two most loyal disciples.
"Now its is Mummymon's turn to take action! This is the moment that we all been waiting for," exclaimed the reporter, "Can you feel the emotion?! Can you feel the excitement?!"
Virus looks right over towards Mummymon and could only watch him with total disgust. He was quite embarrassed to fight such a weakling like Mummymon.
"His ignorance is painful,"Virus said to himself. "I'll send his happy little ass packing."
Mummymon crouches down and then gets into a fighting stance. He was now prepared to fight and ready to clobber Virus with everything he's got.
"Al right! Mummymon is ready for action! Now it's down to Mummymon vs. Virus! Who will emerge the winner?! I think we all know the result! Mummymon is the 'mon!"
"Alright, don't let us down," Arukenimon replied, "Do your best and try to kill Virus!"
With that said, Mummymon screams and runs right over towards Virus, flying in with a straight kick to the monster's head. But Virus isn't even budging, let alone making sudden movements. Mummymon lands right next to Virus and waves his arms around.
"Now he's going to go for his devastating Snake Bandage! Now it's all over for Virus! Mummymon has choked out some of the best in the digital world and Virus is soon going to become just another victim!"
Mummymon suddenly unleashes a barrage of punches and kicks on Virus. Virus makes no move to even dodge, block or counter anyone of Mummymon's assaults. He doesn't even move a single muscle.
"Mummymon continues to attack! Virus is totally unable to even fight back!" exclaimed Bill.
Mummymon stops for a moment, then goes straight back into it with more intensity on his side.
"Virus is totally helpless! Mummymon is powerful! Very powerful! Good for you, bandage boy! Your giving him a good show!" Arukenimon cries out.
Mummymon dances around Virus for a while, and the jumps right back. He laughs right at Virus and pulls back his fist.
"And now for my finish!"
Just as Mummymon ran in to deliver the final blow that would easily kill digimon weaker or even slightly stronger than he was, Virus easily extends his hand forward and swats Mummymon off stage, sending him flying back into a nearby canyon wall. Mummymon hits the cliff side and falls down onto the ground with a huge bump on his forehead.
Bill and Ted looked on wide-eyed at what they just saw. Bill watches to see Mummymon rolling downhill. He couldn't believe that Mummymon was easily disposed of.
Paildramon grins and then goes to whisper something into Celesta X's ear.
"To be honest, Kari. I was seemingly taking the side of Virus there for a second. It's better than to cheer for that loser."
Mummymon holds his head as his eyes seemed to be glazed over. He had lost all of his consciousness and looked to be out of the War Games for good.
"Still alive? Ha, I guess Virus didn't want to waste any energy on that weakling," said Leomon.
"No! Mummymon! You promised you wouldn't lose! You dodo brain! You lost this match for us!" cried out Arukenimon, "It's not fair!"
"Contestant Mummymon has fallen out of the platform. Mummymon has lost," Bill said with sadness in the tone of his voice.
A light breeze picks up as Virus turns to face the digimon group with an impatient look on his face. He specifically looks right over towards where Omega X was standing but wasn't necessarily staring right over to him.
"Come on! Let's starts the War Games! Who will be the first to go? Taichi, will you be the first to come?"
With that being said, Omega X steps forward and puts on foot on top of the platform stage and looks right up at Virus.
"Right! Time to kick your ass, Virus!"
The two super powers look right over towards each other. Now the ultimate showdown was finally going to take place with no interruptions and no excuses! This was for all the marbles.
Now with Mummymon and his goofballs out of the way, the real part of the War Games shall now take place! Virus and Omega X will now clash in what is seemingly set to be the biggest battle in history! A fight that will determine the fate of two worlds! But who will come out victorious?!

The Ultimate Showdown! Omega X vs. Virus!
War Games Venue. Miles away from Tokyo, Japan
There was now a sudden silence among the viewing crowd standing around the stage and two foot steps being heard. Now the moment of truth was beginning to come at hand! The ultimate showdown was now getting set to take place between the two most advanced fighters known in two worlds. One of which is pure good of heart, while the other possesses a black, heart of evil.
The digimon crowd looked upon at the two super powers standing right in the center of the ring without making any sudden movements. They knew that one would emerge the winner of this match and the fate of two worlds rests on the shoulders of Omega X now.
Virus grins with anticipation as Omega X steps up onto the fighting platform. Virus is not turned toward Omega X, but rather simply watches him from the corner of his eye. Omega X walks across the stage to stand directly across from Virus, and Virus follows him with his eyes the whole way over. Omega X stops and turns towards Virus. Virus stares at him, not even uncrossing his arms. They stare each other down while the other digital fusion warriors and the remaining Digi-Destined are completely quiet and still.
"Well, now that Mummymon has lost this match and out hopes rested on our shoulders, now we come into the next bout. But is this truly the end of the two worlds," Bill wondered.
It was obvious that Bill was getting nervous while he was speaking but he keeps himself from showing any fear. However, there is obvious fear within his voice.
"This will be good," said Celesta X.
"Oh yeah," replied War Angemon, "Show him what we're made of, Tai."
"Be careful, Tai," Sora sighed in thought.
Neither one turns to face one other. They concentrated on this one match that was soon going to take place. Black War Greymon narrowed his eyes over towards the battle. Angemon X ,alongside Silphymon, Shakkoumon, Dinobeemon and Paildramon, were all standing around and watching. The othersm including all of the ultimates and the champion, were looking on and await in commencement of the real War Games bout. Leomon clenches his fists and could only hope for the best. Metalla X was his usual calm self as always.
"Alright, Tai. Lets see what you and Agumon are truly capable of,"Matt said in Metalla X's thoughts.
Kamiya Residence. Odaiba
The Kamiya parents were looking on as they prepared to watch their son battle in perhaps the planet's most fiercest battle. They did manage to watch the previous Burizalor battle through the skies above many years though. This was the first time to actually see their son battle on earth.
"C'mon, Tai! You can do it!" Mr. Kamiya stated. "Kick his ass!"
"Go, Tai! Don't get too bruised up!" replied Mrs. Kamiya. "Oh my baby boy has grown up..."
"He's our boy."
Matsuki Residence, Odaiba
The little boy watched his new hero, Omega X, take center stage in a battle stance. He started to draw a doodle sketch of Omega X and makes a poster sign out of him.
"Yeah! Go! Kick his butt!"
Moscow, Russia
The Russian Digi-Destined, Yuri, Sonya and Anna, took a good glimpse of the fusion warrior squaring off against Virus in the world's most anticipated showdown. Sonya and Anna were cheering on for the warrior while Yuri got the crowd together to cheer on Omega X. Loud chants were started as a result.
War Games Venue.
The two super powers continue to stare at one another, with neither making a single movement or sound. All nothing but silent at this moment. Virus finally uncrosses his arms and his clenched fists drops down to his sides.
"Should we really begin with you, Omega X?"
Omega X continues to stare right over to him with sheer and silent determination. Nothing was going to hold him back.
"Besides, I wanted to save the best for last, to let you be my last opponent."
Omega X quickly hunches over into a battle stance and gets ready to begin the fight, so to speak.
"So, I hear that you can perform every single of our digimon's techniques, including from the power of our crests."
"That's correct."
Mummymon clutches his jaw, screaming, but unable to really let out even one single scream. He was seemingly injured and unable to fight any longer. Ted turns towards him, which then catches Bill's attention. They both turn and run towards Mummymon.
"Ah, Mummymon! Hey Mummymon!"
Mummymon slowly walks up towards them while holding his injured jaw. He tries fixing it but it was too painful for him to withstand. Bill bolts up towards him and holds up his microphone.
"So, how come you lost, Mummymon, sir?"
"Uh... I was tripped... Yeah..."
Suddenly, Bill's eyebrows quirk up in complete shock and utter disbelief. Could Mummymon have thought of a better excuse than being tripped!
"Eh? Tripped!"
"Yes!"
"But we saw that you were blown out of the ring! You didn't even last for a few minutes in there!"
Arukenimon quickly reappears right behind Bill in a flash, pounding his head as if he were a a tree stump.
"What the hell do you guys know! You're an embarrassment!"
"Ow! You just bonked my damn head! Ow!"
"Even when masters like Mummymon can be tripped, the same kind of momentum will be created."
"Really! Is that a known fact?"
Both Skull Mammothmon and Boltmon appear at the side of their master, Mummymon, with goofy-looking grins on their faces. They and Arukenimon tell it like it is in unison.
"Yes really!"
Mummymon chuckled to himself and then clears his throat.
"But, don't worry. I'll take a rest, and I'll fight with him again! He cheated and that will not be tolerated as long as I'm around! But I'll just leave this up to that wannabe in that ring oberthere for right now!"
Metalla X looks over at the laughing Mummymon with a detested look on his face. He was getting quite annoyed by Mummymon's apparent arrogance.
"Dones't he know that his power is no where, even near Virus'! What a damn idiot he is!"
Mummymon continues on laughing and making a complete fool of himself, while ignoring the presence of Metalla X and the other digimon.
Meanwhile, Omega X and Virus continue their historic staredown in the ring as each one looked about ready to tear each other apart. The fusion fighters an the Digi-Destined watch silently, with both Metalla X and Angemon X in the front of the whole group.
"Soon the mystery for the reason why Tai has been so relaxed for these past couple of days will be revealed,"Dimitri said in Angemon X's thoughts.
Omega X glares right over towards Virus, and Virus looks quietly right back over to him. One of them will make their first move at any given moment now.
"No one worry! Mummymon was only carelessly tripped to fall off of the platform. He will take a break, and then continue his fight with Virus," announced Bill.
Digital World.
Ogremon took a glimpse of the scene of the battle to soon take place. He picked up his club and howlers out.
"Yeah! Now this is what I call a sporting event! Kick that ass!"
War Games Venue
"While Mummymon is resting, those people, regardless of our advice, sent one of their own to fight with Virus."
Ted's camera moves away from Bill and then turns to face towards the battle platform where the showdown between Virus and Omega X was taking place.
Paris, France
Catherine was among the billions watching the showdown preparing to unfold. Floramon came walking in with a tray of French bread and milk.
"Has it started yet, Catherine?"
"Not yet. Looks like they want to drag out a dramatic moment. C'mon, Omega X! TK told me you would win! Do it for us Digi-Destined!"
Sydney, Australia
Derek and Crabbmon were viewing the spectacle through a juice bar. The bar was never packed as it was. Usually the native Australians pack up juice bars just to watch the sporting events. The War Games was no different.
"Is ought to be a good show! Go, whoever you are in the armor get-up!"
"Don't you mean, Omega X? Joe and Cody told us about him."
"Yes, that's his name! Go get 'em, mate!"
Digital World
Even in the Digital World, Andromon was watching a television during his guard duty amongst a crowd of Guardromon.
"They're really outrageous! These idiots want to know the taste of certain death!"
War Games Venue
Bill than holds up his microphone up over towards Mummymon in order to get some more comments from him.
"Well? Mummymon, what are your feelings about the anonymous contestant?"
Mummymon just simply chuckles at his question and nods his head.
"It's really a big joke. Just by his posture, you can easily tell that hes an amateur."
"Wow! I tell ya! Omega X looks great," commented Shakkoumon.
"There's not even the slightest flaw!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
"I'll say," said Silphymon.
"Moreover, even in front of Virus at such a moment, he's still a natural," said War Angemon.
"He's simply just awesome," said Paildramon.
Omega X still keeps his eyes open and stays alert. He looks right over towards Virus as the comments, both positive and negaitive, flow all around him.
"Hah. Looks like he's enjoying it," said Leomon.
"Tai has complete control of his form, which even surprises me," replied Angemon X.
Metalla X turns around and faces towards his own son. And then he looks beyond him and then towards Celesta X. Celesta X continues to watch the two fighters on the stage, despite Metalla X looking right at her. Finally, he turns his attention back onto the showdown on the stage.
"Pfft! If he was my opponent, I would have torn him apart in two seconds flat!" exclaimed Mummymon.
He then closses his eyes and leans back while smiling.
"I can see that he's plain loco," replied Bill.
"It only takes me five seconds to get rid of Virus! All right, we'll just take a rest first!"
Bill chuckles yet again at Mummymon's comments and takes it for granted as if he were a follower of his.
"They don't really know what they're up to!"
"Without this kind of performance, my competition will not be even interesting."
Suddenly, a grin forms across the face of Virus as he looks towards Omega X.
"Come on! Lets get this on!"
("Click Click Boom" by Saliva plays)
Omega X leaps forward right towards Virus, almost before the words were able to come out of his mouth. He throws a punch. Virus is able to catch it. Virus kicks, but Omega X jumps into the air, as he wa able to dodge it. Omega X throws a kick into the air, but Virus slides under in order to avoid it. Virus swings around on his hand, jumping back up. Omega X jumps away with backward handsprings. He quickly phases out within thin air and reappears right in front of Virus. He throws a punch but is quickly dodged by Virus. Then an elbow, but Virus catches it. He flips away and springs off the platform to begin another assault. He goes into a very brief hit and kick frenzy that is mostly blocked and countered by Virus. Simply amazing to watch!
With Omega X's guard down, Virus throws a single punch. Omega X throws a kick at the sametime. Both are thrown back when both hits connect with one another. Omega X flips away and lands in a crouched state. Virus lands already standing. Omega X rises to his feet. They stare at each other. Omega X simply forms a smile across his face as if he were impressed thus far.
Both Mummymon and Bill watch the exchange, both sporting sweat drops on the back of their heads. Their mouths were now wide open and their eyes all bulged out. They yelp in speechless amazement. Boltmon's mouth quickly hangs open and he screams in shock. Skull Mammothmon's mouth falls open and he joins in on the screaming. Arukenimon doesn't exactly gape, but even her eyes are larger than normal. But after a few seconds, her mouth is wide open too. She screams along with the rest of them.
"Now they're evenly match," said Black War Greymon.
"Besides, they haven't even shown fatigue. At least, I think," replied Sora.
Metalla X watched the fight with sheer detemination and in complete silence, without even making a comment just yet.
"Wow. This anoymous contestant is really good," said Bill, "Mummymon, what is your comment?"
He holds the microphone right up towards Mummymon and was going to hear a comment from him. But Mummymon's mouth was still wide open in complete shock. He doesn't even respond, simply watching the stage, as if in a trance.
"Excuse me? Mummymon, sir?"
Mummymon finally turns towards him with an expressionless look on his face.
"Huh?"
"What do you think of the situation now?"
Mummymon crosses his arms and smirks.
"Uh, not bad. Better than I expected, but I can tell he's doing his best already. Thats his very limit."
Mummymon laughs nervously as if he were trying his complete fear and arrogance all at the sametime. But even that stopped his confidence as soon as Virus quickly blocks a punch and the sound of the impact jolts Bill back into the action with a yelp.
Omega X quickly jumps away, and Virus manages to follow him. Omega X springs forward and they fly right at each other. At their meeting point, Virus throws in punches but Omega X was able to phase away from those direct hit punches. He then looks up.
Mummymon and Bill gasp as they watch Omega X ascending higher and higher into the sky. He quickly phases right out, and they gasp once more. They look around, but don't even see a single trace of Omega X.
Virus, who was on one knee, rises to his feet again. He looks up towards the skies. Suddenly, a barrage of hits appear right beside him, but he manages to avoid them and smack Omega X into the stage once again. Omega X catches himself and springs back off his hand. He crouches down and stares right over at Virus. Virus finally lowers his fist, which was still up after hitting Omega X. Virus turns to face Omega X's new position.
Omega X rushes forward again, and Virus crosses his arms over his chest in order to block himself. Omega X quickly vanishes right before the hit, appearing to slide through Virus as he vanishes. Virus lets his guard down and gets a powerful punch right into the gut when Omega X slides up the exact same path as a result. His eyes bulge and his mouth hangs open for a moment with trickles of blood coming out. The force of the hit sends him almost off of the edge of the platform. Omega X appears in the air right above him and delivers a strong kick to the head, throwing Virus back. Mummymon and Bill cry out in amazement. Virus falls towards the ground.
"Yes! He's out!" exclaimed Paildramon.
"He's won already?" asked Mimi.
Angemon X watches on with a joyous grin on his face. Now the nightmare was soon going to be over if this was the case. Just two feet touching the outside is all that matters now.
But it was a bit too soon. Virus manages to catch himself jsut above the ground. Omega X flips back onto the other side of the platform and prepares for round two as Virus rises back to the platform, with his arms already crossed. Omega X straightens up to face down his adversary.
"Well? Can you just feel the joy of victory?"
"Don't bullshit like that. We know you won't lose right away."
Virus hovers right over towards Omega X and lands near the middle of the stage.
"Hm. Because you didn't do your best. I just want to entertain you."
"But you weren't doing your best, either."
Virus slowly uncrosses his arms and holds them tightly, bent at his elbows, as if he were about to power up.
"Soon, I will show you the huge difference between us and our powers."
Omega X slowly gets back into another fighting stance as he gets prepared to go for a little round two action.
"I've been looking forward to that! Bring it on."
Both Mummymon and Bill watch this hard-hitting and fast-paced fight with astonishment.
Now an overhead view of the stage shows Omega X near the middle of the stage and Virus a few yards away, facing his adversary. Virus smiles right at Omega X, but the digital fusion warrior stares back seriously.
"Omega X, you seem to be enjoying the fighting. Sure, you're a fusion warrior, but you are of the courageous type. You possess the power from the crest of courage."
"So are you."
This quickly brings a sudden smile on the face of the evil artificial for that one comment.
"That depends on who my opponent is."
Virus slowly walks towards Omega X.
"Me too," replied Omega X.
Suddenly, Virus leaps forward, but Omega X quickly ducks down, dodging his attack. He attacks Virus, but Virus completely phases right out. Omega X follows the suit.
"Ack! They disappeared again!" exclaimed Bill.
Sweatdrops still on both Mummymon's and the Bill's heads, as they continued on watching the battle occuring. Ted peers out at the now-empty stage. The rest of the fusion warriors and the Digi-Destined's digimon all follow the battle from their position on the adjacent side to the right of Mummymon and company.
(End theme)
(Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle Theme" plays)
Omega X and Virus appear briefly a foot or so above the stage, a punch or two being thrown, then they disappear yet again. Further over to the right and a bit higher up, they reappear out of nowhere. Omega X throws out a few punches, Virus dodges, and they phase right out yet again. They reappear yet again, while being in camera view, but disappers too quickly to even get any punches off for the viewers to see. Only digimon were able to see the movements. Celesta X's, War Angemon's and Paildramon's eyes dart from side to side, following the fight. They reappear over the stage, while Omega X throws a punch. Virus quickly vanishes and Omega X follows in pursuit.
The fusion warriors and the Digi-Destined's digimon suddenly begin to look further up. Far above the stage, Omega X and Virus reappear for a split second. They disappear, and reappear higher up. Omega X throws a punch or two, and they disappear yet again. They reappear to the left of the last position, but at about the same height, and disappear too quickly for any human to see the real exchange. They reappear again right in front of the camera with Omega X throwing in some dodged punches. They phase out once more.
The Digi-Destined and their digimon still watch on from the sky, while Mummymon and Bill are left to struggle and figure out on what is going on.
"What's it all about?" asked Bill, "It's like they've just disappeared!"
"Hmmm. It's just a trick which creates illusion. You know, like side effects? This is nothing more than a movie with too much hype."
"Oh? Side effects? I thought it was special effects."
"Oh yeah. Special effects. My bad! Yeah, just like you see in movies!"
"I see your point!"
"Thats right and you can see that those two fighters are perfectly camouflaged on that stage there. Can you see them?"
"No. I can't even see them whatsoever. What are you trying to tell me?"
"Yes, Mummymon can even see the stitches on a ball when it flies at top speed. Trust me. I know that well," Arukenimon explained.
Bill looks back over towards the stage with a confused look on his face. He looks back over towards Arukenimon. Mummymon takes the chance of the distracted Bill and slowly inches away.
"I don't understand. Mummymon you care to explain-huh! Where did he go!"
Bill starts to look all over the ground in search of Mummymon, whow as hiding underneath a dome-shaped sheet that easily blended in and looked identical to a rock.
"Ok Mummymon! Where did you go? This is no time to hide and seek. Mummymon? Its really shocking! Mummymon has just simply vanished!"
Suddenly, Mummymon jumps out and pops up from behind him laughing. Bill quickly turns to face him and rushes over towards Mummymon.
"Ok, Mummymon. Now where were you?"
"Ha! Just like you've here. A trick like that. I could easily do such a thing!"
Mummymon laughs while almost making him a complete fool at the sametime. The disciples stare right over towards him, while Arukenimon smacks herself in the face while sighing in disbelief.
"Be glad that I was able to cover for your phony ass."Arukenimon thought.
"Where did that piece of cloth come from?" asked Boltmon.
"Just like it was secretly made last night, courtesy of Arukenimon of course," replied Skull Mammothmon.
Paildramon and War Angemon cover their mouths, while stiflying in their laughter. They didn't want to laugh and make Mummymon a more of a joke than he already was.
"Ha! Oh man, what a loser!" said War Angemon.
"These goofballs are cracking me up," snickered Paildramon.
Celesta X stares right over to her two friends with a serious look on her face.
"Guys, knock it off."
"Oh, sorry," replied War Angemon.
"Ditto, here," Paildramon said.
Meanwhile, the others continued on to follow the fight that was occuring between Virus and Omega X at this very moment.
"Man! This speed is stunning!" exclaimed Zudomon.
"It's really hard to see by our human eyes. Hello, maybe some play by play here?" said Izzy.
Both Virus and Omega X appear in the sky above while disappearing and reappearing further to the right. Then they disappear and reappear lower and to the left. And then they disappear right before everybody's eyes. Even the digimon were left with surprised looks on their faces. Now their speed was able to increase, not even a normal eyesight could be able to catch up with them. Everybody, except Metalla X, that is of course.
"Hmph! They call this stunning? Please!" remarked Metalla X.
(End theme)
Omega X and Virus suddenly reappear right out of nowhere. Virus quickly phases right out, and then Omega X follows in pursuit of his adversary. They reappear much closer. Omega X throws in a heavy punch, but Virus quickly vanishes yet again. Omega X follows. The digimon all gasp. Seadramon and Lillymon stare right up at them, amazed. Angemon X looks back up to follow the fight, which has now moved and escalated right between the Digi-Destined and digimon group. It quickly throws up tons of dust that the fusion warriors quickly shield themselves from. Leomon holds himself back before he ends up being blown right back. Celesta X's long hair starts flowing along with the strong winds but she manages to push her hair from her face. Metalla X doesn't even bother turning back around, he just looks back over his shoulder.
Omega X is pummeling Virus with a fury of punches, but Virus manages to block everything that Omega X is throwing at him. They phase right out yet again and this time back inside the stage ring.
Bill looked back over towards the group of buffoons with a surprised look on his face.
"Hmm? It looks like something has happened over there!"
The dust around the Digi-Destined and digimon group began to settle down after the two super powers were fighting right between them. But they were lucky enough not to have their feet touching the floor.
"Hmph! This is just a kid's game," remarked Mummymon.
High above from the edge of the stage, Omega X and Virus reappear in a stalemate, both struggling against each other, hands clasped together in the power struggle. They stare right over towards each other, with Omega X being more serious than the grinning Virus. Omega X turns and then throws up Virus, then reappears right above him and slams himself into Virus' back. Virus plummets toward the stage below, staring right up at Omega X. Omega X phases right out again.
"They're coming!" exclaimed Leomon.
Just then, a bolt of lightning strikes straight down into the center of the stage. Then as soon as the smoke clears away, Omega X and Virus continue fighting inside the cloud. It's no longer just Omega X fighting and Virus blocking. Both are throwing and blocking numerous hits, as if it were a boxing match but much more intense. A few kicks were now being involved.
"They're really here!" exclaimed Bill.
"Look! They've really hidden themselves!"
Suddenly, Omega X quickly catches Virus' fist out of nowhere. Omega X throws out yet another fist, but Virus' other hand flies out and blocks it. The force of the punch travels through the stage, ending when it hits the edge right in front of the disciples and Arukenimon. They shield themselves from small pieces of the stage. Virus throws a punch, but Omega X steps back to avoid it.
"That's how powerful the force really was," said Boltmon, "When I felt that force, I was already thrown up into the air."
"Me too. What's the matter with this force?" asked Skull Mammothmon.
"Why don't they stop these foolish games and spend more time learning the true art of fighting? This is a disgrace," said Mummymon.
Virus throws a strong punch forwards, but Omega X jumps back and manages to dodge it. He lands and throws his arms up as a barrage of lighter punches files right at him. He effectively blocks them, but slowly slides further and further back.
"Oh my god!" exclaimed War Angemon.
"No way out!" cried out Sora.
"Virus has surpassed him!" Angemon X said.
Suddenly, Omega X looks backwards and almost falling right out of the ring.
"How come?" asked Celesta X.
Angemon X gasps and looks over towards Celesta X with a concerned look on his face, as did Paildramon and War Angemon. They all turn towards Celesta X.
"Why doesn't my brother just use the full extent of this power?" Celesta X said.
They all gasp at what she had just said. But Metalla X simply smiled and was beginning to realize Omega X's gameplan.
"I knew I was right. Omega X was just playing with Virus and it looks like Virus was playing as well. They haven't really shown the full extent of their in-depth powers,"Matt said in Metalla X's thoughts.
Omega X yelps out in tremendous pain when he hits the edge of the stage and loses his balance. Virus delivers the final punch in order to throw Omega X off of the stage. But then Omega X quickly vanishes. Virus stays in position of the punch follow-through, staring right over towards his friends for a few seconds. He finally straightens up again, and he is seen across the stage behind Virus. Virus cuckles and turns to face his adversary.
"Oh that technique again."
Omega X quickly smirks at his comment. Virus quickly launches himself forwards at Omega X going straight for him. Rather than dodging this, Omega X holds up his arms to attempt to block the hit. Virus flies straight into him, and once again, Omega X blocks, but he is pushed back. They slide back for a few feet, then Omega X drops below Virus and kicks him up into the gut. Virus flies right into the air, and Omega X follows him right up, while pulling his arms back as he goes.
"Terra... Forc..."
The ki energy was quickly forming in his hands as if he were about to hurl it right towards Virus at any given opportunity right about now.
"Terra Force!"
The energy ball forms and then is sent hurtling right towards Virus as if it were about to hit him at any moment. But with little effort, Virus manages to bat it away with his hands. With this done, Omega X takes advantage and reappears right behind Virus and hits him hard in the back. Virus' face contorts in tremendous pain.
Virus grunts and looks angrily back towards Omega X. Omega X prepares to follow it up, but Virus smashes him hard right in the face. Omega X grunts and flies right back. Virus phases right above him and executes a perfect overhead smash. Virus cries out and plummets, but catches himself as he lands on the stage in a crouched position. The stage suddenly cracks around Omega X from the force of his landing.Virus lands on the opposite side of the stage. Omega X quickly rises to his feet. Then they smile right at each other, knowing that they were just toying each other in order to study each other's fighting abilities.
"Well, thats the end of our little warm up," said Virus.
"Yeah, you bet," replied Omega X.
Mummymon gasps completely at what was just said and he looked like he was about to punch himset out for the hell of it. He couldn't believe what he was seeing before his very own eyes.
"That was just a warm up?" Bill pondered.
"Now... the real battle begins," said War Angemon.
The two super powers stare right over towards each other as they were now getting ready to go at it for round three so to speak.
"Oh you're good, Omega X. Better than I expected. You're totally different from all the others," Virus said to himself.
"Hes a lot more powerful than I given him credit for. Even the slightest mistake on my part will make me lose to him," Tai said in Omega X's thoughts.
Mummymon, Arukenimon, Bill and the disciples all turn towards the battle, with shocked expressions on their faces. They still could not believe on has transpired since the fight began.
The fusion warriors and the Digi-Destined concentrate on the battle quietly and waited for either warrior to make their next move in this match of the century.
"Alright! Let's continue this!" exclaimed Omega X, "Lets go!"
"Whoa! The look on Tai's face have changed. I just hope you know what you're doing, Tai," Dimitri replied in Angemon X's thoughts.
"Ah yes. Hes now striking with full power," Virus thought.
Omega X crosses his arms together in front of his head. Just then, his aura flares right up like a wave of fire. It was now flaring up all around him, while damaging the stage at the same time. Mummymon and Bill watch on with shocked expressions, of course. They wanted to comment on what was taking palce but they were of loss for words.
Omega X's aura flares up even more and blocks an entire view of Virus away. Virus watches as his adversary was beginning to increase into his maximium power. Angemon X is amazed, while the other fusion warriors continue to watch in silent concentration. Metalla X watches, arms crossed, looking as if he were about to see a really good show. Omega X lowers his arms slightly to peer out at Virus through his aura and all of the debris surrounding him.
Kamiya Residence
Mrs. Kamiya grabbed the television set and was screaming happily. Mr. Kamiya used every ounce of his strength to pull his wife off of the TV.
"Yeah! Show him what you're made of, Tai! Make mommy proud!"
"Hon! You'll hurt you're eyes when you sit too close!"
"Mind you're own business! This is our son for god's sake! He's going to defeat this monster and make us famous! You can do it, son!"
"Yep. Tai does take after his mother."
Kyoto
Sitting on a porch outside her home, a brown-haired girl with a sock puppet was amazed by the battle taking place between Virus and Omega X. It was nothing like she has ever seen before.
"Wow, this is crazy. It's crazy enough to become my new favorite show. I like it. Ruff! Ruff!" the girl replied through her sock puppet. "I hope that good guy beats that meanie Virus. Kick that meanie around and restore peace!"
Elsewhere in Odaiba
A young twenty-something year old woman came walking out from a clothing store with bags filled with many expensive accessories. The lady grabs her cell phone and began to rmable away with one of her co-workers. Walking behind her was a red-haired girl with icy, blue eyes. The girl simply gagged at the sight of the cutesy girl clothes and turns her attention to a television showing the venus of the War Games coverage.
"The War Games are one now? Well, this could be interesting."
"Rika! Let's get going! Let's try on those new clothes I bought you!"
"Oh, man. I'll miss the big fight. I hate cutesy things."
Unforunately for this girl, her mother was starting her career as a model. The lady became a mother to this child at the young age of sixteen. Unforunately, the girl's mother was still too immature to be considered a real mother due to her obsessiveness in the modeling industry.
"No, the War Games comes first."
"Rika! Let's go!"
"No..."
War Games Venue
Back at the site of the War Games, small bits of rock from the stage rise into the air around Omega X, who is currently undergoing a major fusion powerup. Virus simply watches and smiles. Mummymon, Bill, Arukenimon and the disciples could only look on with disblief, and they continued whimpering nervously at what was going on. Lighting cracks in the sky above the stage.
"Oh no! Radical lighting! I don't believe this is happening!" exclaimed Silphymon.
Paildramon simply whimpers at what he is looking at right now.
"What power!" cried out Angemon X.
"Im... Impossible!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"And he has even more power than this?" pondered Leomon.
Celesta X simply watches on and sees her brother powering up his maximium digital fusion form. She was quite impressed but was not the least bit surprised.
(Random Dragonball Z Japanese battle music plays)
Omega X holds a fist up, pulls it down, and sticks both arms straight up into the air above him. He lets out a scream as his power-up seems to have ended within the blink of an eye. Now a tremendous force flows outward from his body. A cloud of dust expands out around the entire ring. Now Mummymon's friends are thrown back completely as a result of this tremendous force. The other digimon and fusion warriors are able to withstand the force of the power-up, but the high-wind generated by Omega X blows forcefully at their armor and hair.
Leomon takes the full force of the wind, Angemon X throws up an arm in order to shield himself, Paildramon shuts his eyes and leans into the wind, Metalla X watches in shock and anger, but doesn't shield himself.
The dust begins to settle and the rocks return down onto the ground's surface. Virus stares right at the cloud that was surrounding Omega X. Omega X begins to come into view as the daylight returns to normal. A strong orange aura flows all around him. He glares right at Virus.
(End theme)
Mummymon's entourage quickly begins to recover. He grunts, still holding a hand at the settling cloud of dust. Bill stands up and looks around his surroundings.
"What? What the hell was that?" Bill wondered, "The moment I thought I saw his body flashing, something exploded. What's going on?"
Bill squints his eyes and brushes the dust off of his face. He peers closer and sees Omega X being surrounded by an aura of orange energy.
"Whoa, now he looks like that he surrounded by some sort of orange fire. The man is on fire for goddramon's sake!"
"Oh yeah! It's a damn illusion! I just know it is!" exclaimed Mummymon.
(Perfect Cell's English theme plays)
Virus smiles towards Omega X and was now going to make his next move. His smile suddenly grew wider. Now he started to power up into his maximium. His metallic black wings straighten up, as if he were about to take off like an insect. He raises his fists to the waist height. He lets out a scream, and then begins to emit a bright light that easily pierced the clouds from high above. A shockwave explodes all around him, and again, the high wind is generated.
Mummymon's group was soon easily thrown back by the evil artificial's force of his power up. It was too great for them tp even withstand.
Leomon and the other digimon, the four ultimates and the champion, noticed that their feet were beginning to slide back through the ground. Now even the fusion warriors were noticing that the ground around them was shaking and cracks were forming. However, they managed to steady themselves despite the ground tearing apart. Metalla X watches angrily, while the other fusion digimon were trying to shield themselves from the high winds.
For some reason, Celesta X was the only one that didn't seemed to be the least worried at all. Shes not being thrown back. It seems that she wasn't even frightened or surprised gy Virus' power increase. The only thing it does it blow the long hair away from her face.
"Big brother... be careful..."
Virus' power up abruptly ends within a few seconds. The light returns to normal, the dust begins to fade away, and Virus stands in the center of the same orange aura that surrounded Omega X. But it quickly turns into a crimson red. As if his emotions were controlling the aura. Omega X smiles.
"The same thing has now happened to Virus!" exclaimed Bill.
"Hmph! They're using the same tricks! How pitiful!" remarked Mummymon.
"Right now, full combat is taking place as we speak," said Paildramon.
(End theme)
Omega X stares right over towards Virus, and Virus smiles right back at him. Omega X walks towards the evil artificial. The others are watching intently, but Metalla X stood with his arms crossed. he was more focused as ever to see who would come out on top in this showdown. Celesta X was silently as her brother walks up towards Virus. The two auras of light meet, and fuse into one aura down the front.
"Lets go, Omega X! Your move!"
"Sure!"
(Deftones "My Own Summer" plays)
Omega X quickly delivers a strong punch into Virus' gut that lifts the monster off of his own two feet and into the air. Another punch from Omega X, sends Virus back a little. Then he delivers another strong hit that easily sends Virus flying right up further. Omega X quickly reappears above the sky and hits Virus again. Virus bounces off onto the stage and almost runs into the post at one of the platform's four corners. He catches himself, upside down in the air. Omega X lands right back onto the platform yet again. Virus lowers himself a little, not even righting himself, and smiles right over to Omega X.
"Very good, Taichi. This is what I wanted."
Virus quickly regains his composure and spins right back around to face Omega X. The heroic warrior rotates around his adversary in order to psych him out. It was all but to no avail.
"The pleasures of battle cannot be savored unless both warriors are of equal strength."
Virus wipes his face and Omega X moves right back into a battle position.
"Yeah, I think so, too."
"This is Tai's true fusion power! Does Omega X have any true limits to his power," Matt asked himself in Metalla X's thoughts.
"Incredible! Omega X is extremely strong!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"An incredibly strong ki level, indeed," said War Angemon, "He's really different from any of us."
Celesta X watches the others with a concerned look on her face and she begins to take her focus back onto the battle in itself. She knew something that the others don't know but she wouldn't let them know just yet. She was hiding something.
"Why is everybody so surprised? Sure my brother's fusion form is strong, but..." Kari managed to say to herself in Celesta X's thoughts.
Virus drops to the stage and away from his adversary, Omega X. Omega X looks right over towards the evil artificial. Suddenly, Virus rushes right towards Omega X. He throws up his arms in order to block out any of Virus' attacks, and they go into another temporary stalemate- very temporary to say the least. After less than a second, Virus breaks it to begin a barrage of rapid punches. Omega X managed to block the punches with his forearms and swings his leg around under Virus. Virus loses his balance and is tripped right off of his feet. He was about to fall right onto Omega X's fist, but as soon as Omega X was about to punch him, the evil monster quickly phases right out. Omega X only hits air and nothing else.
Virus reappears right behind Omega X and tries to punch him. But Omega X manages to phase out just in time. Virus only hits air and misses completely. They begin fighting right up into the air yet again, eventually moving right over the already frightened and confused Mummymon group. The mornal ultimate-leveled digimon and the champion, Seadramon, watch the battle but are almost having a hard time trying to keep up with them.
Omega X and Virus drop back down to opposite corners fo the stage and spring back right at each other. Omega X quickly phases right out enroute. Virus follows, they still clash right over the center. Omega X throws up a kick at their meeting point, but Virus blocks it. Virus hits Omega X really hard in the stomach. Omega X counters with a strong kick to the side of the head. They both throw a punch at the same time, their fists smash into each other. They then both try to knee each other, and the same fate befalls their own legs. Virus kicks up, getting Omega X right in the chin. Omega X is then thrown back as a result of this impact, but he manages to recover himself. He stands right back up. Virus flies right in with his left leg out, ready to kick Omega X down. Omega X quickly grunts loudly as the foot connects with his chest, but then is able to get a really, good punch into Virus' face. Virus slides across the stage because of that sudden impact. He slowly rises up onto his feet, yet again. Omega X lands right back onto the stage in itself.
Everybody seems to be amazed at what was taking place right before them. These two super powers were giving it their all and they were way beyond any normal digivolution that has ever existed. Now they are perhaps the most advanced fighters in two worlds.
"Cameraman, did you get that?" asked Bill.
"No way! It was nearly impossible! They were just too quick!" exclaimed Ted.
"I see."
Mummymon gapes right over towards the battle with his mouth wide open and his eyes widened as ever. It looks as if they were about to pop out of his head. Now hes been wanting to regret that this whole fight has been more than just a childish trick with special effects. Bill holds the microphone up to him.
"They were fast, weren't they Mummymon?"
Mummymon looks right down at Bill with a questionable look on his face. Bill was waiting to get his response.
"Eh, they were so, so."
Virus stands at one of the stage with his back turned towards Omega X. Omega X stands there while facing his back and then hears a little chuckling coming from Virus.
"Hmm?"
Now the chuckle turns into a laugh. Eventually, it becomes a more evil villian maniacal laugh. The artificial turns around and quickly faces him.
(End theme)
"I'm really enjoying this, Taichi."
Virus then crosses his arms across his chest. Omega X's eyes go wide and then he gasps at what he was about to see right before his very own eyes. He knew what Virus was going to do now.
"What!" exclaimed Mimi.
"What technique is he about to use?" asked Silphymon.
"Ninjamon's technique!" replied Dinobeemon.
It indeed was Ninjamon's favorite technique. Suddenly, there was no longer one Virus, but four of them. They all looked identical. Quite a useful technique and he takes right after Ninjamon, since he possesses nearly every technique of nearly every existant digimon known. All four of them straighten up and all face towards Omega X, who was now standing in the middle of the stage.
"Damn him! Now he's using Ninjamon's abilities!" exclaimed Izzy.
"Damn it," growled Paildramon.
Omega X stares silently right over towards the four Virus' that now had him completely surrounded. He then hunches over into another battle stance, ready to take them all on at once. He was ready and not looking to back down. The other Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors watch on in complete surprise with their mouths gaped open. Even Mummymon's group were just as shockjed but even more surprised at the very moment. They were all so silent at this very moment. Mummymon didn't even know that such a technique even ever existed.
Omega X simply smiles at this technique that Virus was currently using at his disposal.
"So? You're already going to use that proven technique to bring about a sure death?"
(Perfect Cell's English theme plays)
Virus tries to stifle a single laughter, but they were all chuckling in unison. They all spring forward towards Omega X and start moving all around the stage at different corners. They all land, with each Virus standing at each corner. Four corners meant four Virus' standing. Omega X looks out towards each one with a smile on his face.
"No way. This trick won't work on me," said Omega X, "You've got to be kidding me!"
"We'll see about that!" exclaimed the four Virus'.
The Virus' all going flying right towards him, with the rel one leading them on. Omega X gets into position and prepares to take them all on. Omega X quickly goes into a hit, block and kick situation with one of the four Virus'. Another Virus appears right behind him, and it continues just like that with the other clones. Omega X quickly smacks one Virus with his head. Two Virus' appear right above him. They attack him from either side, then jump right back and fly in at him. Omega X holds his arms out in order to shield himself from the onslaught. He goes into the "frenzy", so to speak, with all of them at once.
"What the heck am I looking at?" wondered Mummymon.
"Damn! I know for sure that attack has a weak point!" exclaimed Sliphymon.
"But his power and speed are equal to when he had just one body, but thats just a predicition," said Dinobeemon.
"I don't want to admit it, but now Virus seems to have made this technique his very own," said Silphymon.
"But Omega X is definitely not losing," said Black War Greymon.
Paildramon, War Angemon and Angemon X all turn towards Black War Greymon and began to wonder if Black War Greymon was indeed correct about this. Omega X looks like he's really in a tight spot now.
Omega X is nearing the edge of the stage. He then springs forward and smashes one Virus away with a strong punch to the face. Another Virus comes in from the side and hits him back. He crouches down, then jumps right back into the air. He and Virus punch each other at the same time, and both hits connect with one another. Another Virus knees him from the other side. They return into the standing point, with Omega X in the middle and each Virus in a corner. One of them started chuckling.
"Now Taichi! Do you realize the true extent of my power now!"
"Yeah, I know. Whatever. Save me the crappy lecture."
Virus simply chuckles at Omega X's smart comment and goes to make his next move, along with the other clones.
"But there's more beyond my absolute fully evolved power now!"
Just then, each Virus was holding their fists back and a flaming glow was forming on their fists. It looked quite recognizable from Leomon's standpoint. Omega X looks around at each one and hunches over.
"Hey, wait a minute! Isn't that one of yours?" Celesta X asked Leomon.
"Yeah. It's one of my techniques!"
(End theme)
Virus' hands began to glow brighter and an sudden energy blast was quickly coming right out of hands.
"Take this! Fist of the Beast King!"
All at once, the four of them unleash Leomon's patented 'Fist of the Beast King' technique on Omega X. Omega X took the chance and flies up right into the air to avoid being blasted away. Then the four Virus' follow Omega X in hot persuit. He looks back and sees them.
"Heh. Right this way!"
Omega X suddenly stops and smashes the first Virus to come up right in the head. Because Omega X's stop was so abrupt, Virus didn't see the attack coming, and the force of Omega X's punch is amplified by the speed at which Virus was flying. He does the same to each Virus that comes up. When the last one reaches him, he knees Virus right in the gut. Virus screams, while bending over Omega X's knee. Omega X drops him down.
"Heh! Pull yourself together, dude!"
Each Virus drops down like a flying rock and they pile on top of one another in the middle of the stage. And once again, there is only one Virus left laying.
"All right!" exclaimed Paildramon.
"What a way to knock it to him, Tai!" War Angemon said.
"You da 'mon!" Sora cried out happily.
Omega X lands nearby on the stage. Virus still lays facedown on the ground.
"Wow, Omega X took advantage of their differences in timing," exclaimed Angemon X.
"Mmmhmm," replied Shakkoumon while nodding.
"Idiots!" barked Metalla X, "This is just basic fighting. Anyway, observe Virus' potential powers."
They all gasp at Metalla X's comments but he does a point, this fight is far from finished and he knows that Virus can withstand more than this. Its pretty damn obvious.
"Virus didn't... he didn't even decrease his ki level at all," said Metalla X.
As soon as he said that, Virus manages to flash open his eyes and he began to look across his surroundings. He has now come to again and was ready to fight to the death.
"Oh no!" said Angemon X.
"No way!" exclaimed Paildramon.
(Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays)
Suddenly, something quickly caught Omega X's attention as he quickly turns around and notices something forming in Virus' hand. It looked to be a blade of some sort. It was a purple-laser blade and Virus held onto it tightly. He then throws it right over towards Omega X. Omega X manages to dodge it. It goes flying right past Mummymon and his friends, then it smashes into the ground behind them.
"Ah! I seen that attack before!" exclaimed Omega X, "That was one of Burizalor's last attacks he used on me many years ago!"
Virus then throws another right towards Omega X. Omega X flies backwards, running away from it for a while, then abruptly changes directions. The blade stops for a moment, then resumes following. Angemon X and War Angemon gape at the scene that was occuring before them.
"Is that one of our holy blades?" asked War Angemon.
Training Grounds of Azulongmon
X, Gennai and the great digital guardian were watching on the intense battle through a viewing orb.
"No! Thats not a Holy Blade or anything related to the angel-type digimon. Thats the last technique Burizalor used during the digital world's near extinction," X stated.
"He's right. I do remember Burizalor using that technique. That just proves Virus is willing to stoop to any level to destroy earth. Burizalor is apart of this mosnter genetically."
"Damn! How could Datamon created such a horrible monster!" Gennai angrily said.
War Games Venue
Back at the site of the War Games, Omega X flies near one of the posts at the corner of the stage, then changes directions and flies back another way. The blade follows. He simply flies around, taking turns every once in a while, trying to avoid the blade. Down on the stage, Virus directs the blade through movements of his arms and body, another one of Burizalor's traits. He screams of grunts as he moves it. Omega X looks down and right at it. He flies by right in front of Virus and back off, then he flies back in the direction he came from, but this time up. The blade follows him the whole way. Virus smiles. Omega X flies around a column, the blade follows.
"Ha! Burizalor's cells and data are telling me that you plan to emerge in front of me and defeat me. Not a chance!"
Virus holds his arm out and forms yet another blade. He throws the second blade straight for Omega X. Omega X gapes, and both blades slice cleanly through him. But Omega X quickly fades away. Virus turns around into the other direction.
"I already predicted this as well."
Omega X hovers into the air jsut above and right in front of Virus. Virus signals to the blades, and they come forward. Once again, they but straight through Omega X. But instead, it was Omega X's after-image that quickly fades away. Virus yells out in complete frustration.
"You can't defeat us if you ahve to rely on other digimon's techniques!"
Virus quickly turns around and sees Omega X facing him with a angry look on his face.
"Now give up!"
"Not a chance. I'm just getting started. Just watch and learn from the master himself."
"Hmm?"
(Dragonball Z English dubbed random theme plays)
Virus powers up and quickly clenches his fists. His body starts to shake heavily as a bright aura of light forms all around him. He screams out and rocks quickly starts to rise off from the ground.
"He's raised his ki to a maximum!" Tai said in Omega X's thoughts. "What is he looking to do now!"
"TER-"
Virus' arms extend up and way above his head as if he were positioning in powering up a very massive ball of energy. Now he cups his hands together along the way.
"RA!"
He holds his arms way above his head and the energy ball starts to quickly form from the energy that was surrounding him.
"Stop! If you shoot the Terra Force with that much power, your going to destroy the entire planet!"
"BE-"
Suddenly, orange ki starts to form in his hands and quickly forming into a ball-shaped figure. Now it was getting bigger and bigger as a result of his ki level increase.
The ki grows and expands, becoming even brighter, with the rays of light shining out from it.
"Stop! He's going to kill us all!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"-AM!"
Virus thrusts his arms forwards and sends the large Terra Beam energy ball right towards Omega X with tremendous force being delivered to it. Omega X stares at it for a while, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, he quickly flies right up through the skylines.
"Right this way!"
The blast changes direction, along with tremendous wind being generated. Mummymon's group and the Digi-Destined group are then forced to shield themselves from the strong gusts of winds occuring. The Terra Beam follows Omega X right up into the sky. He stops and stares down right at it. He holds his fingers up to his forehead as the blast quickly engulfs him. The Terra Beam continues flying up into and through time and space outside Earth's atmosphere.
Virus stands on the stage, still holding his arms out, though the Terra Beam was now all but gone. Suddenly, Omega X appears right behind him. Virus gasps and managed to shoot out a crimson red lighting attack.
"Crimson Lightning!"
Omega X maneuver away from the Crimson Lightning attack and hits him. Virus grunts as he gets completely thrown back. Virus stops himself and manages to regain his footing on the stage before we would have been eliminated out from the War Games. The dust from the Terra Beam has still not settled just yet. Both super fighters both stare right at each other while thinking of a way to attack one another.
Mummymon and his friends were still completely amazed at what they were seeing right before their very own eyes. Skull Mammothmon lies right on his back, and Boltmon is sprawled over onto his stomach. Bill gets back up onto his feet.
"Any explanations yet, Mummymon?" asked Bill.
But, Mummymon was too shocked to even answer one question, let alone a good explanation at this very moment.
The Digi-Destined watched as the dust began to settle down. Angemon X and War Angemon both rise up to their full heights, while Paildramon and the majority of the others, with the exceptions of Metalla X and Celesta X, were still as shocked as ever. Celesta X even watched, her feelings are difficult to discern from her expression, but she was almost trembled by the earth's near destruction from that one single Terra Beam.
"But how? That Terra Beam should have made contact at the last second."
"Yeah, well it should have, Virus."
"Oh yes. You were very lucky. You teleported so suddenly, just before," said Virus.
"It's called Time Warp. It's my newest technique!"
"Time Warp, huh? Oh that's something troublesome."
"I just want to ask you something, too. If I didn't fly into the sky, would you have shot the Terra Beam and destroyed the entire planet in order to wipe us all out?"
Virus looks away, smiling and then begins responding to the question being delivered to him.
"Well... I won't tell you! I knew you would fly up and throw it off course!"
"I see. You seem very smart then. Though, not as smart as you make out to be."
"But I'll tell you this! I have no compassion in destroying this wretched human waste of a planet or the Digital World! However, I have no desire to see the fun end just yet!"
Virus gets into a battle position in order to resume the fight that he was having just a few moments ago.
"That's all!"
Virus quickly reappears and flies right towards Omega X as he prepared to attack him with everything that hes got. Omega X is completely caught off guard. Virus slams into him, and starts hitting him with rapid punches. He was able to hit him hard, but Omega X punches right back, but Virus was gone out of sight. Virus reappears, attacks, Omega X blocks, kicks him in the back, with Omega X getting hit and falling. He lands on the stage on his hands and knees and springs right back into the sky, clenching a fist. Virus appears behind him, pulls his hand back, and smashes Omega X back onto the stage floor.
Omega X lands right on his back and jumps onto his feet yet again. He looks around and finds no signs of Virus anywhere. He gets into a battle stance and was more than ready to face who kinds of adversities and odds. The other digimon and Digi-Destined both watch silently. Mummymon's group is still pretty stunned at what has been taking place thus far.
Omega X quickly falters, unable to find Virus. Suddenly, Virus reappears right behind Omega X in a twist of events.
"Well, I have self-confidence in my speed!"
Omega X looks right back at his adversary, amazed but very uneasy at the very moment. Virus stares right down at him with cold and lifeless eyes of darkness.

Odaiba. Kamiya Residence
The Kamiya parents watching the battle in utter shock. Their eyes were unable to keep up with Omega X and Virus. All they could ever hope to see were streaks of light traveling faster than the eye could see.
"Is it just me, or am I tripping out?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.
"No, it's not just you. Where the hell is Tai? I can't even see him!"

War Games Venue. Miles Away from Tokyo, Japan
Back at the site of the War Games, everybody in attendance was watching in utter disbelief at what they were seeing right before them. Everybody, including the Digi-Destined and Mummymon's group, were all awe with widened eyes and gaped mouths. The fight that they were seeing was nothing compared to many previous one on one battle that have taken place. This was totally off the charts!
Angemon X looked up and was in total disbelief. He has never seen such a battle at this altitude and he was there to witness it. But he wasn't the only one who was anticipating for this very event, he could tell that his own father was really into the fight.
Celesta X watches on with amazement but with no surprise on her face. Obviously, she knew of something from Omega X and it looked as though that she is trying to keep a deep secret to herself. What does she knew that the others don't know? Has Omega X reached the next stage in digital fusion evolution?
"I wonder why she isn't so surprised. Kari, what is it that you're hiding?"TK asked himself in War Angemon's thoughts.
"This is unbelievable! They're a lot faster than any of us!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"And a lot stronger, lets that forget that," replied Dinobeemon, "It seems as though that they already ascended the level of any normal mega-level digimon!"
"If only, we could get a piece of the action as well," said Paildramon.
"This is Omega X's fight. So leave this one to him," said Leomon, "You will just get in the way. He demands that each and every one of us just sit back and watch."
"He's right. Don't go rushing in there without thinking," said Izzy, "Do yourself a favor, Davis and just keep your cool."
"I know but I'm just not the type to just stand back and watch something like this," said Paildramon.
"Don't worry. Once my brothers whoops his no good keester, you'll get your chance. We all will," said Celesta X.
Paildramon grins towards Celesta X and nods his head in agreement. Celesta X returns a smile and turns her attention right back to the fight. Paildramon does the same as well.
"Alright. You've managed to increase your ki, now c'mon, show us what you're really made of,"Matt said in Metalla X's thoughts.
Back on the battle, Virus and Omega X are pummeling right at one another with many powerful punches and kicks that connected with each other. They were so fast that they were just mere flashes of light colliding with one another in the sky above.
The digimon would see the fight going on, but were unable to keep up with them. These two fighters were really pulling it together and giving everything that they got within their powers.

Virus quickly begins to beat up on Omega X with a fury of punches and kicks. Omega X tries everything to block but is unable to protect himself from the barrage of hits being hammered into him. He has no choice but to get himself pummeled at this very moment.
The Digi-Destined were starting to worry for Omega X and were realizing that Virus was quickly regaining his momentum and taking apart Omega X as he said he would. Ever since Virus revealed his true power, he's been taking it to Omega X like no one has ever done before. Not even Burizalor has been able to do this, but his data is apart of Virus. So it is as if Burizalor were gaining his vengeance at this very moment.
Omega X suddenly regains his composure and sees a punch coming right for him, but he quickly ducks right under the punch. He bends over backward in order to duck right under it. He pushes himself up and delivers devastating kicks Virus into the air from behind. Omega X then jumps right back into a crouching position, in order to make his next move.
He quickly vanishes and reappears in the sky right behind the evil artificial. Omega X smashes right hard down onto Virus, but Virus quickly phases right out within thin air. Omega X is caught by surprise and looks around his surroundings. He looks up and down at the stage in search of the monster.
"Damn it! Where did he go? He vanished!"Tai exclaimed in Omega X's thoughts, "I have to keep my eyes peeled. What's that?!"
Just then, Virus reappears out of nowhere and delivers a devastating punch right into Omega X's gut. The punch was able to push him right back towards the ground below. Omega X gasped out for air while Virus was ramming his fist down into his adversary. And as fast as thunder, the two fighters quickly phased out and vanished out of nowhere.
This caught the Digi-destined by total surprise at what they just seen. They weren't able to keep up with them at this very moment.
"Where did they go?!" Bill cries out.
"I… I can't believe how fast they all are now," said Paildramon.
The Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors look right up into the sky. They were seeing the two super powers taking it right into each other like animals ready to rip each other apart. But in this case, two super powerful beings knocking each other senseless and to determine whom the better fighter was.
The two fighters stopped with what they were doing and were quickly getting their breath back. Both fighters seemed to be panting hard but were not ready to quit just yet. Virus turns to face Omega X. The two fighters face each other down with sheer intensity. Virus smiles right over towards his adversary.
"You're not bad, really," said Virus, "I didn't think that you would provide me with this much pleasure. This is how the fate of two worlds shall be determined. Kind of appropriate, don't you think?"
The two fighters both powered up and sent shock waves across the ground, which made Mummymon's even more baffled as ever. Now the fighter's auras have returned. Omega X was then able to speak up, and let Virus know on what he thinks. He sees things much differently.
"It would be too bad to let this fight end with one of us getting knocked out of the ring," said Omega X, "We see things much differently. We rather finish this fight to the bloody end. It's either you or myself. But we're not going to let you destroy both worlds without a fight! We're taking you down!"
"Yes, you are right. It would be such a disappointment if one of us were to be pushed right out of the ring and off the stage. That wouldn't be a good thing for all of the viewers at home. I'm sure that they would want to see a classic battle. Just think of how much ratings it will capture!"
"I don't think so! If your finding a way to breaking records as far as TV ratings are concerned, we'll its going to sky rocket when we defeat you and end your merciless ways!"
"Oh yeah? Then show me what your made of then, Omega X! Show me your great power!"
"You bet! Your move!"
"Of course! Venom Infusion!"
Omega X watches as Virus opens his mouth and shoots out a dark wave of energy right towards him. Omega X quickly maneuvers to the side and goes flying right towards the evil artificial and goes for a punch, but Virus was able to block it out and knee him right in the gut. Virus delivers an elbow shot to Omega X's face and sends him flying back. Omega X manages to catch himself and he looks to face Virus.
"That was one of Venom Myotismon's attacks. I'm not surprised that you were able to dodge that one! Now, here's a little page from Machinedramon's handbook! Giga Cannon!"
Virus' forms two large energy blasts and shoots them right towards Omega X. Virus keeps the ki blasts right at Omega X and is now pushing him right back. Omega X uses his brute strength and pushes it right back at Virus. Virus maneuvers away and watches as the blast hits a nearby mountain and causes it to explode.
Virus turns back to face Omega X and sees him executing an uppercut to know. Virus gets nailed in the chin and goes flying back. Omega X reappears above Virus and then delivers a knee to his gut. Virus yelps out in pain and was ready to go down. Omega X goes to elbow him in the back but Virus quickly phases right out. Virus reappears from behind and kicks Omega X right in the side of the head.
Virus quickly phases right out again and reappears above the sky. He looks right down at Omega X and powers up his ki. He holds places his fingers on his head and energy ball was forming on top of his head. He points down and shoots out a beam right at Omega X.
"Horn Buster!"
Omega X saw it coming and was able to phase right out of the way, in order to avoid getting blasted. Virus presses his arms against his chest and then shoots out a 'X'-shaped beam right towards Omega X.
"V Laser!"
Omega X was able to shoot out a ki blast and disintegrate the attack that was flying right towards him with ease.
"Now try this on for size! Positron Laser!"
"No way! He's using Imperialdramon's attack!"Tai exclaimed in thought.
Virus shoots out a huge beam out his hand and watched it flying intensely towards Omega X. Virus concentrated and watched as it was drawing near Omega X. Virus takes advantage and phases right behind Omega X. Omega X turns around to punch him but Virus delivers a elbow shot into his gut, which sent Omega X flying back towards the Positron laser beam.
"No! Tai! That's our technique he's using!" exclaimed Paildramon.
"Move out of the way! It's coming right for you!" exclaimed the whole Digi-Destined group.
Omega X manages to regain his composure and quickly phase away from the powerful beam just in time. Omega X finds himself from high above with Virus looking right up at him. Virus smirks and goes flying right at him with his fists wrenched back. Omega X gets ready and crosses his arms over his chest, in attempt to block the punch. But Virus quickly swerves his adversary and phases right above him. Now Virus is looking down upon Omega X.
They both have a stare down and one of them was now going to make their next move, but who would make that move. None other than Virus of course, as a smile forms across his face.
"So, you want to go without any rules? Ok, I can play by anything goes. Let's try some friendly persuasion."
With that said, Virus extends his arm out and extends his the palm of his hand at the stage below. Omega X takes notice of this and begins to wonder what he is truly up to. He gasps to himself and was about to question him.
"Hold! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" asked Omega X, "You're not thinking of what I think your possibly going to do next…"
"Yes. I am tired of that ring down there anyway. And oh, you could also tell your friends to clear the area."
Omega X gasps in complete shock as his eyes widen. He looks down and turns to face his comrades and everybody that was close to the stage ring.
"Everybody get away from the damn ring! Now!"
Virus powered up as an aura of light forms all over his head. Now an energy ball was quickly forming in the palm of his hands. He powers up his ki and shoots it right down towards the ring.
The Digi-Destined managed to run away from the side of the ring, with their digimon following alongside of them. Each of the fusion warriors were able to hear him just in time and move away from the ring that was now set to blow up at any second now. War Angemon grabs Celesta X and flies her away to another location and away from the ring. Mummymon's group could only look on like stiff statues and unable to move aside.
Omega X turns around and then folds his arms across his chest in order to prepare himself for the huge blast that was soon about to come. He was now prepared for the worst. The ki blast springs forth from Virus' hand and watches as it destroys the stage from below. An explosion occurs as the entire ring was now crumbling under the blast's maximum power. Even its advanced structure was unable to withstand this blast at every cost. Hits of tile were thrown into the air by the explosion. The explosion slowly dies off, leaving a huge cloud of dust in its place. As the dust settles, a stage no longer separates the Digi-Destined and Mummymon's group. Now rather, a giant crater has now occupied that space.
"What an immense power!"Izzy said to himself. "There would have been no way for any living creature to survive that blast head on! Luckily, Tai was able to warn us just in time or we would have been goners for sure."
"Way to go, Tai. You saved our necks there," Sora thought to herself.
"Whew! That was close!" exclaimed Paildramon, "Hey! Where did Black War Greymon go?"
As soon as he asked that, he turned to see Black War Greymon from another distance. The dark mega was standing above Mummymon's entire group as if he were shielding them. A huge force field had surrounded them to protect them from the blast. Black War Greymon powers down and his force field was now gone.
Mummymon was crouching down and his eyes were closed in total fear at what just happened a while ago. Ted was right behind Mummymon and shaking in his boots.
"Oh! Thank you! We would have been dead meat if you hadn't come around for us," said Bill.
Black War Greymon stands up and looks right down the entire group with a serious look on his face.
"You should leave now. You're getting in the way. Make the wise choice and leave," Black War Greymon replied.
The dark mega slowly walks away and turns towards the Digi-Destined group in order to join up with them.
"Whoa! Have you lost your marbles?! We can't leave here! We're filming the match of the century here!" exclaimed Bill, "Besides I have to support myself and bring in ratings for all the viewers watching in both worlds! Just think of the monster ratings we will get for this!"
"Yeah and besides, Mummymon has to fight," said Arukenimon.
"That's right! Mummymon owes some payback and he will get it! Right? Um, Mummymon?" asked Bill.
Mummymon looks right down at the reporter with a confused look on his face and quickly points to himself as if he were wondering if Bill was speaking to him. Bill nods in approval with a smile on his face.
"Well say something you dumbass!" shouted Arukenimon.
"Oh yeah! Right! But lets watch this match a little further away from here," replied Mummymon.
"Ugh, he has no limits in his stupidity,"Arukenimon said to herself in frustration.
Omega X flies right down onto the ground and gets into a battle stance. He looks up and then sees Virus hovering down in order to meet him and attack him. Now this would begin as round four, with no rules and an anything goes type of stipulation.
Omega X quickly stares right over towards Virus, and Virus miles right at him. Virus faces him and begins to speak once again.
"So? What do you think? Now the whole planet is the ring. Our fight can now only be decided by certain death! No forfeits! No excuses!"
Omega X simply smiles and was now considering his adversary's new stipulations thus far.
"I see. You really want to go with this all the way, don't you?"
"Well then, shall we use our new found expanse?"
"Suit yourself, Virus."
Omega X starts to stretch out and Virus wasn't taking this too kindly as he turns to face him. The evil artificial began to move his arm around and began to make several hand motions right over towards Omega X.
"Well the, lets get round four started then."
With that said, Omega X gasps when he sees a blast coming right for him. Omega X quickly moves out of the way and watches as the blast blows right through a nearby rock wall. Omega X jumps up, in order to dodge anymore blasts being thrown. Virus now begins a barrage of ki blasts while flying through the air, as if he were an air carrier jet shooting down across the landscape. Omega X manages to phase and maneuver away from each blast being thrown at him. Virus kept his target locked right on Omega X.
Omega X zips around while avoiding Virus' attacks. But Virus doesn't let up on his ki blasts whatsoever. Virus screams out and shoots out two large ki blasts right at Omega X. They nail him head on as an explosion occurs. Virus waits in anticipation to see if he did Omega X in good. But that was not the case as Omega X goes flying right out the explosion cloud and into the sky above. Virus looks up and notices Omega X holding up his arms in an all-so-familiar position. Now he could feel the energy coming from Omega X increasing dramatically.
[Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays]
"Ha! No way, he couldn't dare!"Virus said to himself in thought.
"Alright this is it, War Greymon. We have to do this right if we want to take him down,"Tai said in Omega X's thoughts.
"What's he planning on doing?" asked Silphymon.
"I don't know, but it looks like that he hast his under control," replied Dinobeemon.
"Wait? I think he's going for the Terra Beam. I think," Paildramon said.
"TE-R-RA!"
"Ah! He's going for the Terra Beam and he's maximizing its power! If he shoots it down, it's going to destroy this whole world!" exclaimed Leomon, "The Earth can't handle this amount of force!"
"Ah. I have a good feeling that Tai has everything in complete control," said War Angemon, "Don't sweat it, guys."
Virus looks up and then he begins laughing hysterically. He knew that if Omega X were to toss this maxed out Terra Beam, it could spell the end for the Earth.
"Ha! Ha! You won't fire that maxed-out Terra Beam from all the way up there! You'll destroy this entire world if you do! That means, I win this little game and the Earth is dead! Then, the Digital World will be next on my hit list!"
"No! TE-RRA!"
The Digi-Destined all looked up in shock and now even War Angemon was starting to worry even more so than ever. Celesta X feared that Omega X may have powered up his attack too much and not even the Earth can handle this amount of pressure from one single energy blast.
"No! Taichi! You wouldn't!" exclaimed Virus who was now almost loss for words.
As the entire group looks on, Omega X was readies his powerful Terra Beam and now a large red aura were forming all over Omega X's body. He was powering up into a maxed-out form and was ready blast away Omega X at any given chance.
"Yes! It's the Terra Beam!" exclaimed Leomon, "He's going to throw it at full power!"
"But he's going to kill us all if he does so!" cried out Paildramon, "If he fires it from up there, its going to blow this world into smithereens!"
Virus continues to look up in complete shock as he was now slowly backing away with his eyes all widened.
"What are you up to? There's… No way you're going to shoot…"
Omega X continues to power up as his body starts to shaken with stress and powering up at the same time. He looked as if we were about to explode at any second. Could this be it? Would he be able to withstand throwing much a maxed out energy blast.
"I don't… believe it! No!" exclaimed Virus frantically.
Virus watched Omega X with total disbelief and could even feel the ground shaking under his feet. Omega X was increasingly getting stronger each second that passes by.
"He's going to fire!" exclaimed Metalla X. "Hit the deck!"
Suddenly, Omega X quickly disappears out of nowhere and this quickly catches Virus by complete surprise. Virus looks up and sees nothing. But then, he looks right down and his eyes widen in complete shock. He was now seeing Omega X right in front of him with his hands readied out. Now the Terra Beam was getting bigger and bigger. Omega X looks right up at Virus and was now ready to fire away.
"CRAPPPPP!"
"TERRA BEAM!"
Omega X then thrusts forwards and then pushes the large blast right in front of Virus. The tremendous, fully powered Terra Beam blast fires straight at Virus from a distance of mere inches. Virus' eyes bulge wide open while Omega X continues to pump more energy into his fully powered Terra Beam. Virus is completely thrown back, as his upper body quickly starts to disintegrate. Everything from his head to the waist was completely disintegrated into nothing but small particles. His body was now broken apart.
Omega X jumps backwards and watches as the Terra Beam dies away. A large cloud of smoke formed around the area that Virus was blasted. The entire Digi-Destined could only look on with total shock and disbelief on their faces.
Lying on the ground was none other than Virus' feet. The smoke cleared away and all that was left was the lower body of Virus, with his upper half completely wasted away. Now he was done for and Omega X could now clearly say that he has won these War Games officially.
Omega X stands there catching his breath and holding his hands out, but has he finished off Virus for good, that is the question.
"Yes. It's over. We can finally say that its over, or is it? Is it just me, or is this… No can't be…"Tai said in thoughts.

"That's the way, son! You've just won this battle!" Mr. Kamiya cries out. "The world is saved again."
"That's my boy! My boy is a hero again!" cheered Mrs. Kamiya. "That monster never saw that one coming!"
The Kamiya parents continued their senseless celebration, but they were unaware of the hidden truth behind Virus. Even Omega X was cautious about the situation.

"Look, daddy! He won! He won!" the blue-haired boy pointed out.
"Thank god that's over with," the father stated. "Now we can move on with our lives."
"But why does that guy look worried?" the sister pondered. "Don't you think something's wrong with this picture?"
"No. He's won," the boy retorted. "Virus has been defeated! Yay!"
Unfortunately, the boy was definitely wrong. His sister made a good point. Why was Omega X still showing a sign of bewilderment when he had just beaten the planet's greatest threat? Perhaps those questions will be answered shortly.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Back at the site of the War Games, the fight now seems to have now ended with everybody looking on with shocked looks on their faces. Their worst fears have now been laid to rest and it was all over. Now both worlds would be safe, or would they?
Omega X stands and stares right at the cloud of smoke. He was now desperate as ever to know if he really put an end to the evil artificial as he said as he would. He continues to breathe quite heavily, with his arms still held up from the Terra Beam position. Most of the Digi-Destined watched on in complete silence.
Sora and the other children now sported smiles on their faces. They were just as happy as ever to realize that the games have now ended by Omega X's hands.
"Tai! You did it! Looks like we won this little game!" exclaimed Sora.
Metalla X is seething at the immense power that Omega X was able to display. Now he hates the fact that Omega X was the one that put Virus' lights out for good. He never got the chance to get back at Virus fir what he did to him days ago.
Mummymon and Bill both peer out from boulders, apparently feeling that the scene was now clear again. Mummymon is utterly amazed at what just happened. Bill is just as stunned as ever.
"Wo-Wow! What just happened?" asked Bill.
Arukenimon sits up right between the two and looks over. She wipes the sweat from her face and sighs a relief. Ted pops his head out and comes in above Bill's left side.
Omega X still remains in the center of the open landscape. The dust finally clears away enough to reveal Virus… or what's left of him, anyway. Virus' body lays facing right up on the ground. His arms, head and wings are all gone. All that's left is the torso and his legs. Omega X silently stares right over his adversary's remains. Virus' silver innards continue to smoke where it exploded.
"Great! Yeah! Yes! Omega X finally won! Tai won this game!" exclaimed Silphymon.
He laughs happily, looking back and forth at everybody else as he officially proclaims Omega X's victory over Virus. Dinobeemon and Shakkoumon both cheered happily but aren't as excited and cheering like Silphymon was. Silphymon abruptly stops laughing when he then notices Leomon, Angemon X and Paildramon, who were all dead serious. Silphymon then looks up and finds War Angemon and Celesta X sporting the same looks.
"Wha… huh?! Aren't you all supposed to be happy! Look at me! I'm happy!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"Mummymon! It looks like that he as defeated Virus!" Bill stated.
Mummymon was still looking over at the scene with a shocked expression on his face. He could only cover his gaping mouth and keeping his fears to himself. Finally, Arukenimon was able to speak up.
"Hey dodo-brain! He's asking you a question!"
Mummymon has now been quickly taken right back to reality as he turned to face Bill and was now going to speak.
"Well, yeah. He did quite a decent job, too. Too bad though. I wanted a shot at him though," said Mummymon.
He then laughed nervously and Arukenimon slapped her forehead in frustration. This soon takes Mummymon by surprise and he keeps his mouth shut.
"It's really upsetting. We weren't able to see you display your awesome techniques," said Boltmon, "You would have beaten Virus if you had the chance! He took you off guard and that's not the way to do it! It was cheating. Right?"
Arukenimon looks right back at Bill and he nods at what Boltmon just said. The reporter quickly turns to face Ted, in order to spread the news out to the viewers across both the Digital and real worlds.
"For the audiences of the digital and of the real world, it's certainly regrettable, but before Mummymon could come into the ring in glory, a young unknown has now bested Virus!"
He then steps out of the way, holding out his out and inviting the audience to take a good look at what Omega X has now done.

New York City, New York
There was a loud ovation among the crowd. The people stood up and chanted along a victory song in honor of Omega X's triumphant victory. Soon, riots broke out which forced the police to attempt to put a stop to the insanity.
"Yeah! Way to go, dude! You just saved our asses!" a teenage boy cries out.
"You beat you're ass! He's my new hero!" a girl exclaimed. "What to nail it to that asshole! Yeah!"
"Those kids will do anything to find new idols in their life," a lawyer muttered. "Don't kids today have any values?"

The Digital World
Even in the Digital World, the digimon were all beginning to celebrate as if they had saved the world themselves. But a savior had come and saved them all from any further destruction to come their way.
"Ah, it's over!" said Frigimon, "But I expected something a little action. I didn't get to see how Virus was blown away."
"Me too, but let's take it for what it's worth," Gekomon said.
"So, thats it?!" asked Otamamon.
"Looks like it. Whew, at least we know that it's all over," said Frigimon, "I'm in the mood for some cold snow cones right about now."

Omega X looks right down over at the dismantled body of Virus and a concerned look was coming across his face. He knew that something was now right and would soon find out what that problem was.
"Something is not right here,"Omega X thought. "He's partly injured, but he still has a lot of ki left in him."
Paildramon looks on and then gasps in fear at the fallen body of Virus. He knew what was now going to happen and he decides to call out towards Omega X, in order to get his attention and let him know about the approaching danger that was soon to come.
"Watch out, Omega X!" exclaimed Paildramon, "I think that Virus is going to regenerate now!"
"What?! That can't be!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"I knew it was too good to be true!" Dinobeemon said angrily.
Omega X stares right over towards Virus' body and then he gasps in shock at what he was seeing right before him. Suddenly, Virus' feet lift right up into the air. He springs up onto his feet, as the other Digi-Destined in complete fear.
"Wha… wha… what the hell is going on?! What is happening here?!" Bill asked frantically, "Now Virus' lower body has stood up! How is this possible?! I'm like watching a horror movie right in front of me!"
Mummymon gasps in complete fear while the other were watching on in complete shock and anticipating fear. They knew that the worst has yet to come. They were astounded.
[Random Dragonball Z background music plays]
Virus' body starts to emit some strange gurgling noises and pulsates. Omega X does nothing but watch for the worst fear to come alive once again. He gasps as Virus' head; arms and entire upper body appear once again. He has now regenerated his lost body. The two super powers have a stare down with one another.
"He revived himself! Virus, somehow, managed to pull himself back together! It's like a sci-fi movie! What kind of a super mutant is he?!" exclaimed Bill, "I have never seen anything like this! Is this some sort of trick too, Mummymon?"
Mummymon is in shock and is now visibly trembling with complete shock and fear. He couldn't believe his very own eyes at what he has just seen taken place at that last moment. He was now unable to speak. Arukenimon goes on to speak on his behalf.
"Of course! It's a damn trick! It has to be!"
Virus begins to stretch his newly grown neck and head, in order to get all of the cramps out of the way. He stretches his body a bit and then looks right over to Omega X.
"Oh yeah. You can regenerate yourself. As we should have known," said Omega X.
"That's right. Datamon was efficient enough to supply me with the ability."
"No! That bastard just won't die!" exclaimed Leomon.
"Damn! I knew I killed you too easily," growled Omega X, "But by doing that, you only just dwindled your own ki."
"Perhaps. But you have also wasted your precious ki level as well," declared Virus, "Your growing quite fatigued. Let us continue. But be warned, you can't use the same attack twice. Don't bore me by wasting your power on futile techniques."
"I know that, asshole!"
[Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays]
Omega X quickly powers up and a bright aura forms all around his body. He was beginning to channel out the power that he has. Now he was generating a large wind that seems to only affect his own armored body.
"Oh, are you sure about that one?"
Virus powers up and his aura flared up as well. He was generating the same amount of power that Omega X was at the moment.
The two stare right at each other for a few moments with their aura flaring right up after each power up increase. Omega X screams out for more power, but Virus remains silent. Suddenly, Omega X goes flying right forward, pulling his fist back into a punch. He thrusts forward but Virus dodges and hits Omega X hard in the face. Omega X spins around and then counters with a kick to Virus' face. Virus grunts as Omega X's foot connects with his face. Then they move into a flurry of high-speed punches and kicks at each other. The ground around them was now starting to shake due to their awesome power increasing. Each blow deals and causes damage, and they even dodge a few hits along the way.
"They've now begun another violent round!" exclaimed Bill, "Virus' attacks and the unknown warrior's attacks are countering one another!"
Virus punches, but Omega X takes a step back. Everything now goes into sudden slow motion, matrix-style. The force of the punch crushes a boulder from behind Omega X; even the punch was nowhere to hit it. Omega X punches back, also missing, and crushing a boulder of his own.
They go into another punch and kick frenzy with rocks crumbling all around them. An ever-present cloud of dust created by all kinds of destroyed rocks at the very moment surrounds them.
"It's rumbling everywhere!" Bill rambled on, "Even the place where we're standing! It's insane! I can barely contain myself! What a damn show! This even kicks The Matrix straight in the ass! Man o' man!"

Azulongmon's Training Grounds
X, Gennai and Azulongmon were watching the battle through their viewing orb and were amazed at how much the two fighters have progressed as far as power was concerned. Totally out of the digital world's logic of physics. They could even hear the reporter from the viewing orb.
"What will happen after this?!" Azulongmon thought.
"Hmmm, Omega X, what is your plan? We need to know," Gennai said.
"Hang in there, Tai! You can do it. Don't let him overwhelm! No! Remember, I was the one who trained you! Just kick his ass and get it over with!" X rambles towards the viewing orb.
"Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself," Gennai said.
"Heh, I know."

Back on the battle site, Virus jumps into the air and Omega X flies up in order to follow him. Virus smiles and throws a small ki-blast at Omega X. Omega X dodges it and phases right behind Virus. Virus gasps and spins around in time to meet Omega X's fist. He then follows it up with a kick, but Virus vanishes and reappears nearby behind him. Omega X kicks again, but once again, Virus disappears. Omega X spins around once more, but is too late. Virus hits him in the back with both fists held together. Omega X cries out and then sails towards the ground below. Finally, he opens his eyes and suddenly vanishes as Virus comes down above him. Virus manages to impale Omega X's after-image with his foot.
Omega X reappears behind Virus and lunges forward with a punch. Virus vanishes and reappears right behind Omega X. Before Virus can even attack, Omega X disappears and reappears. Virus disappears and reappears behind Virus. Virus disappears and reappears behind Omega X. Omega X reappears and disappears behind Virus and so on and so forth. It then continues twice of more.
Suddenly, Omega X screamed and flies forward, with Virus flying right behind him.
"They've spent a great deal of ki since that Terra Beam. Regardless, they managed to go on much longer than I expected," Leomon said.
War Angemon and Paildramon gape up to watch the battle taking place. The other Digi-Destined continue to witness the duel that was taking place right above them. Metalla X is, of course, getting angrier by the second. Celesta X watches silently.
The fighting then pauses very briefly, with both Virus and Omega X flying right at each other, each fist connecting with each other's faces. They watch themselves before they fall out of the sky, right themselves in the air, and stare at each other once again. Both pant heavily, but Omega X is clearly the more winded of the two. Virus grinned towards his fatigued adversary.
"What happened? Is this it, Taichi?"
"No way!"
With that said, Omega X goes lunging forward right at Virus, but Virus catches him with a devastating, hard knee to the gut. Virus picks him up by his armor and laughs. He then pulls back his hand and punches Omega X square in the face. Omega X flies back, crashing through a nearby rock ledge.
[Ministry "Bad Blood" plays]
Virus flies right forwards, following Omega X in the ledge. Suddenly, Omega X erupts from within the cliff side, throwing rubble all around him. Virus suddenly stops and shields himself from the rubble coming right forth. Omega X begins a barrage of ki-blasts right at Virus. Virus screams away as they hit on to hit his shielded arms.
"Oh yes!" exclaimed Paildramon.
"Now he's got Virus on the run now!" cried out War Angemon.
Omega X screams each time that he tosses out another ki-blast, and he continues in throwing them out in very quick succession for a while. Virus still howls at the blasts connected.
"It's working! Go Tai! You got him!" exclaimed Angemon X.
Celesta X watched her brother in silence and looks as if she were still keeping a secret about her brother's abilities to herself. Was there something she knew that everyone else didn't know or weren't even aware of?
The barrage continues. Virus grunts and screams. A huge cloud of dust and smoke formed around Virus.
"Good job, Tai!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"Almost! He's almost got Virus," said Dinobeemon.
"Tai… Finish him," Celesta X said.
Leomon looks up silently and watches Omega X continuing on firing a barrage at the evil artificial.
Mummymon's group all decided to play it safe and hide behind a boulder, with the exception of Ted. He was leaning up against the boulder.
"The young warrior has now launched a very rigorous attack! Virus is in big trouble! But with that thick cloud of smoke produced in the explosion, we're currently unable to report anything more right now to everybody watching!"
Bill was correct, almost everybody in both worlds were having problems with watching the cloud and were seeing nothing more than a cloud of smoke and blasts being fired away as a result of this cloud forming. They had no idea of what is taking place and were beginning to become quite anxious to know what happens next.
Back on the battle site, scream after scream, ki-blast after ki-blast, the barrage manages to still continue.
"Omega X! You can win!" exclaimed Paildramon.
He pumps a fist as he watches on and cheers on Omega X to support him.
"Tai! This is it! You have to win this!" exclaimed Angemon X, "For the sake of two worlds!"
"Alright! He's got him on the run now," said Sora.
Metalla X was mad as ever while he continues to watch his rival taking it to Virus with everything that he has left. Leomon just simply watches and doesn't make any kind of comments just yet. Celesta X was now hoping that her brother wins this battle and puts an end to the evil Virus once and for all.
The ki-blasts all continue to spring forth from Omega X's hands. Virus screams and grunts, clenching his teeth and shutting his eyes, but still effectively blocking out all of the ki-blasts somehow. He finally screams and throws his arms and legs out, emitting a very bright light. Now a translucent orb started to appear all around Virus with currents of electricity cracking all around the surface. The orb expands outward, moving in through the cliff faces that surround them. Omega X's ki-blasts no longer hit Virus, but rather, his new barrier. The orb stops expanding just a few feet away from the Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors. Paildramon screams and manages to jump away from it. It sits, and merely touches Metalla X, but he refuses to even move an inch away.
Mummymon's group moved and not by choice either. They wanted to leave and get away as soon as possible. The wind created by the barrier manages to throw them all backwards. Mummymon is quickly pushed right into a nearby rock face. Skull Mammothmon and Boltmon peer around from either side of the large rock face.
"Are you alright, Mummymon?!" asked Boltmon.
"Yeah! I was just warming up," Mummymon said while making excuses as usual.
"Ha! You're never lazy when it comes to a situation like this! Huh, Mummymon?" asked Arukenimon.
"Uh, yeah…"
"Announcers never let go of their microphones!" exclaimed Bill, "Even at the times of death such as this! But… What is that huge ball surrounding Virus?!"
Omega X's attack has now finally ended. He is now panting and not just out of breath, but also out of ki power. Virus grins and then stares right down at Omega X.
"Taichi, what an exquisite attack on your part! You made me craft this barrier! Not as I expected, I've been wounded somewhat,"Virus thought.
The people all continue to watch on to the sky. They all kept their eye on Virus and waited to see what he would do next. But he wasn't doing anything but shielding himself from the barrage.
The people across the world were complete shock at what just occurred. Now they were seeing Virus in a large orb-like structure and staring right down at Omega X.

Mr and Mrs. Kamiya watched on as they were supporting their son in very way they could. They remained strong and prayed that their children make it out of this battle alive.
"Go Tai! Kick his no good behind!" exclaimed
"Damn! He almost had him!" Mr. Kamiya said.

Azulongmon's Training Grounds
Azulongmon, X and Gennai were watching the events of the battle unfolding. They weren't shy to give their opinions of the battle that was currently taking place right before them.
"No! He almost had him!" exclaimed Gennai, "One shot would have done it all!"
"No. It wasn't almost all!" said X.
"Eh?! What do you mean?"
"It's true that they almost appear equal. But unlike Omega X, Virus has enough room to unleashing more of his true power."
"Really?! Is that even possible?!" Azulongmon asked. "When I helped train Omega X to his fullest, he seemed to be limitless with his power."
"I'm afraid you haven't looked deeper into Omega X. He has limits. He's no god," the masked man replied. "I hate to say this but he's already showing signs of fatigue."
"No! Omega X can't win! This doesn't look good at the very moment," Gennai stated. "I'm aware that even he knows that right about now. But he's still fighting. I don't know what could be going on in his head. But… This is quite unpredictable."
****************************************************************************************
[Perfect Cell's English Theme plays]
Back at the site of the War Games, Omega X lands onto the ground, while staring right up and almost out of breathe. He looks up at Virus with intensity. Virus smiles right down at him, and his barrier quickly fades away. He then powers up and a bright aura forms around his body. They both right down at each other, not taking each other's eyes off of one another. Virus continues to grin.
"Just like Virus, Omega X's ki is rapidly depleting. He's used up almost all of his energy," said War Angemon.
"It appears that you have used up all of your energy, Omega X. Why don't you take a breather? You're going to need it right about now. Then we can move onto a much more delightful carnage," Virus proclaimed.
"It's a chance! He's giving Omega X a chance to rest! We can use the power of our D-3's and digivices to heal him," said Angemon X, "Then we can all fight against Virus!"
"Yes! We can destroy him now!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"What do you say, Paildramon? Um, hello? Paildramon?" Angemon X asked.
Paildramon stood there watching the showdown and not paying any attention to what he was saying. Angemon X looks right up towards War Angemon and Celesta X, who were now avoiding the conversation. Angemon X then faces towards Metalla X, who is also ignoring the group. He looks right back to Paildramon.
"Paildramon! Please, use your D-3…"
"Be silent, Dimitri!" exclaimed Metalla X.
Now this is where every bone turns and faces him, since he was able to get their attention just like that. They were looking over to Metalla X.
"Where's your damn pride, Dimitri?! He would rather die than win like that. I should know better. I've known him for years already."
Angemon X stares right at his father with a stunned look on his face.
"He isn't fighting to help protect the two worlds. Ok then again, he is. But most importantly, he's doing some much more rational."
"Huh? Like what? What's more important than saving the two worlds?!"
Metalla X glares right at him, but then turns away to look over at the showdown on the battlefield with a angry look on his face.
"Virus will beat us certainly," said Metalla X.
This revelation quickly catches everybody off guard as shocked expressions came across their faces. How could Matt know such a possibility? Could he be right, or was he simply being delusional as ever? Those questions may soon be answered. Paildramon lowers his head, apparently disappointed after listening to what Metalla X had to say. But War Angemon and Celesta X were still not paying attention to Metalla X.
"What? I'm pissed off, but I'll admit this. We had special digital fusion training with our respective digimon partner. I was unable to beat Tai," Metalla X admitted. "Even though he's not a bright guy in general, Tai is a fighting genius. He can be thickheaded just like myself. Virus is simply too strong for even Tai to handle."
Angemon X quickly rises to his feet and clenches his fists angrily. He looks out towards the battlegrounds with sheer intensity.
"Then what should we do?! Just sit here and watch this happen?! I won't allow it!"
"You said this, too. He has some secret plan for this battle. Let's all hope for that. That's all that matters at this very moment," Metalla X continues on.
Angemon X lowers his fist and then sighs while looking out towards the battlegrounds.
"Tai, just what are you planning at this very moment?" asked Angemon X.
The stare down between the two super powers were getting more intense and intense as ever. Virus looks right down at a tired, Omega X while chuckling to himself.
"What's wrong? Why don't you take a little breather? Perhaps some energy would aid you. You won't absorb any energy from the D-3's and the digivices as you said that you would?! Or maybe you could use some digimon medicine."
Omega X just looks right up at him silently and not taking his eyes off of his deadly adversary.
"My power is now incredibly low. Once you power up, you might have somewhat of a chance in beating me."
After with that being said, all that still came out of the mouth of Omega X was nothing more than heavy breathing. Omega X had nothing else to say to Virus. He was possibly planning a secret attack of some sorts and concentrating on a powerful attack at any given opportunity.
"I want to savor this battle between us more," said Virus. "Remember there can only be one champion."
But, Omega X remains silent at this very moment. But then a smile forms across his face. Virus watches, just a little more intrigued as ever before. Suddenly, Omega X's aura vanished all around him and this catches the other Digi-Destined by complete surprise.
"You know you're right, Virus. This planet does deserve a champion."
Metalla X is even stunned at this turn of events. The entire group feared for the worst to come. Was it finally over or was Omega X just planning for his next attack? Nobody knew but Omega X. He looks right up at Virus with a smile on his face. Then he said three words that caught everybody by complete surprise.
"I give up!"
Celesta X's eyes go wide and she gasps in total fear at what she had just heard her brother say. These three words, alone, were enough to put everybody on silent.
"I give up, Virus! I know how strong you are! I quit!"
"What the hell did you just say?!"
Virus was quickly taken place by this and his eyes widened in total disbelief. He clenches his teeth and tries to hide back his total anger at this announcement. He was completely taken off guard. Metalla X's eyes, too, go wide.
"You coward!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"Give up?!" cried out Paildramon.
"No way! You can't do this!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"No! You can't quit now!" cries out the entire Digi-Destined and digimon gang.
"No! Tai never gives up! He never has!" exclaimed War Angemon.
"Tai… You wouldn't… You can't give up," Celesta X managed to mutter to herself.
"Grr! No! You can't let Virus win," Leomon growled angrily.

Even Gennai and Azulongmon were caught by surprise by these turns of events. They weren't expecting this to occur, but now it has. However, X didn't seem to be surprised by this sudden announcement.
"How come?! Why? Taichi! You never shown weakness before! Why now?!" exclaimed Gennai.
"I know what you're up to Tai and I don't like it," X thought. "If you're doing what I think you're going to do, then I'm going to question you're judgment. You better make the wise choice. You just can't hand Virus the victory. You just can't…"
****************************************************************************************
Omega X looks up and watched his former opponent in the sky with a huge grin on his face. He was not going to offer any answers to the question of him surrendering at this very moment.
What?! Did Omega X just declare a forfeit?! That's not like him! What could he possibly be thinking?! Is this just some premeditated plan or is the fate of two worlds soon in jeopardy?! You will just have to find out on the next Digimon Fusion!

Omega X: Hi! It's me, Tai! Since I've surrendered to Virus, I will need a volunteer to take my place and help restore peace to the planet.
Virus: Tell me, Tai. Who shall be my next challenger? Could it be Yamato? Dimitri? Leomon? Black War Greymon?
Omega X: None of the above. You've lost today's bonus. You'll be facing none other than…
War Angemon: No, you couldn't… Tai! Have you lost it?!
Sora: You've chosen Kari as the next challenger?!
Leomon: What the hell are you thinking?! She's not experienced in this sort of matter!
Celesta X: How can I stop Virus?
Omega X: Just remember our training, Kari. I know you won't let us down.

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Hikari Will Succeed Where Taichi Failed! Celesta X Get Angry to Unleash the Holy Light!
Outside of Tokyo Japan. War Games Venue.
The entire Digi-Destined group looked down upon the battleground and were still loss for words when they heard that Omega X had just surrendered the fight and that he won't be fighting. They were now beginning to think that he has officially lost his mind.
Celesta X was even shocked when she heard her own brother surrendering and she was now beginning to think that he was quitting out because he couldn't beat Virus, but there was something else up. Omega X has a plan but he would not let anybody know what that plan revolves around.
The Digi-Destined all look down at Omega X, still shocked about his announcement and were all for loss of words. They couldn't believe at the turn of events, it was like a real life nightmare come true. Have they lost hope for their leader already?
"Give… up?! He gives up?!" Angemon X exclaimed.
"I can't believe this crap!" War Angemon thought. "Why would be just give up?! You better have a good explanation for this! You just put the whole damn world in jeopardy!"
Virus looks right down at Omega X with a look of disbelief and now he was going to tell him what he thinks of his decision to give up at a situation where a lot was all on the line.
"You're giving up?! Taichi Kamiya, are you trying to end this battle?"
"That's right. You beat me fair and square."
Bill looks right over towards his partner, Ted. He was just as puzzled as the rest of them.
"Huh? What did that young fighter just say?" asked Bill, the reporter.
Ted, the cameraman, adjusted his headsets and was looking right over to Bill, telling it like it is.
"He said that he gives up. Yeah, you heard me right."
Mummymon quickly sits up and stands above this disciples with a huge smirk on his face. He crosses his arms and begins to speak in such a confident tone of manner.
"Well, he did a good job. He tried his best."
"Oh yeah, Mummymon! You're the only one!" Arukenimon exclaimed sarcastically.
Mummymon looks right back over to her quirking his eyebrows and placing his finger over his mouth as if to give her the signal to "hush".
"Taichi Kamiya, do you know the full meaning of those words?" asked Virus.
Omega X quickly nods his head and smiles.
"Yes I do."
"Well then. If there is no one else to fight in the War Games, everybody in both worlds shall die then!"
"Virus, don't underestimate me! It doesn't mean that there isn't anyone left to fight you."
"The implication is still here."
Virus turns around and looks right over the crowded group of the entire Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors. He looked at each and every one of them with a frown on his face, as if he were very disappointed with them.
"You mean one of them?! I don't care how strong Metalla X, Leomon or even Dimitri are, they are all still much weaker than you. As such, they aren't even real opponents."
This quickly offends Metalla X as he snaps and growls to himself. He quickly clenches his teeth and fists at the sametime. Now he was regarded as a "nobody" in Virus' view. Leomon was just as upset and growls to himself. Angemon X remained silent at the moment.
Bill quickly hops up and down like a rabbit. He then quickly looks right over to Mummymon and points to him.
"Well, it's you're turn, Mummymon! You've had plenty of time to rest!"
"Huh?!"
Mummymon looks right over towards Bill with a blank expression on his face. But he sits up and steps right in front of the reporter as if he were now regaining his full confidence back.
"Just go and defeat Virus, please."
"Oh yes! That's right! I would love to see another one of your splendid fights, Mummymon!" exclaimed Arukenimon.
"That's right, master," said Skull Mammothmon.
Mummymon straightens up and then places his hands on his hips. A smile forms across his face.
"Yeah, well, lets scare him a little," said Mummymon.
"If you only don't act like a brainless buffoon again,"Arukenimon said to herself.
Arukenimon laughs while the other three were applauding Mummymon. Mummymon takes approval for this and raises his arms in triumph, as if he won the super bowl or the World Series. Bill quickly turns around to face towards Mummymon, in order to get a better camera angle of him. Suddenly, Mummymon quickly hunches over, clutching his stomach and screaming. Bill turns around and checks on him.
"Mum… Mum… Mummymon? What's wrong?"
"Mummymon, why are holding you're stomach like that?" asked Arukenimon.
"Ow! It hurts! I want to fight, but I got ulcers and it hurts like hell! Ow!"
Mummymon begins to bounce around in place while holding around his chest and stomach area. He begins to stomp the ground desperately, in order to get their attention.
"Aw! Don't worry, Mummymon! I have a special remedy for those ulcers," Arukenimon proclaimed.
She quickly pulls out a digimon medication bottle from her purse and hands it right over towards Mummymon.
"Just one tablet of these and you will be ready to go in just a second! Full one hundred percent digimon medicine!"
Mummymon looks right up at her, then at the medication bottle with a stern look on his face.
"Put those away. I don't want that."
Mummymon screams yet again and jumps around in pain, pulling of his "act" so to speak.
"It hurts! Oh man! All the regrets! If I didn't have these ulcers, I could have defeated Virus myself!"
He then rolls around, while he was trying to deal with the "pain" that was consuming him from within his so called "ulcers". As everyone watches, he moans and begins rocking around.
"I didn't know he had ulcers problems,"Arukenimon said to herself.
[Metallica's "Whiskey in the Bottle" plays]
"Well then, can I nominate who fights next," asked Omega X.
"You really plan to surrender?"
"What the hell does he think he's doing?! There isn't anybody else left to fight Virus!"Matt exclaimed in Metalla X's thoughts.
"The War Games will end with the next fighter. If this person loses, then there isn't anyone left to defeat you."
The whole Digi-Destined gang looks over and was talking amongst each other over whom Omega X will choose to go into battle. Mummymon's group was also discussing the issue.
"But I have this good feeling... This person is certainly going to defeat you!"
"What's that?!"
"I'm giving up so that I can place all of my trust on this one fighter."
"You're implying that this person is stronger than you and me?"
Omega X nods with a huge smirk on his face.
"Oh yeah."
"Well, you seem to have plenty of confidence in this mystery fighter of yours then."
"I do and I can certainly guarantee that this mystery person will become victorious and end you."
"Then let me know? What is the warrior's name?"
Omega X smiles and then looks away from Virus. He turns to face the whole Digi-Destined gang as if he were now going to handpick one of the whole digimon groups. But who has enough power to even combat a super power such as Virus.
Everybody from Metalla X, Leomon, Paildramon, Celesta X, Angemon X, War Angemon, Silphymon, Dinobeemon, Shakkoumon, the other ultimates, Seadramon and Black War Greymon were all waiting for Omega X's official decision.
Ted quickly takes a step forward and overhears to what Omega X just said. He turns over towards Bill and tells him what Omega X just announced.
"Now he's announcing the name."
"Excellent. That's a good thing to know!" said Bill.
"He's gonna say my name, isn't he?! Oh damn!"Mummymon said to himself.
He swallows to himself and then looks right over towards Arukenimon with a horrified look on his face, still trying to sell the whole "ulcer" symptom.
"Arukenimon!"
"Yeah?"
"Go tell them that I have an ulcer problem, so I can't fight."
"Whatever, bonehead."
Omega X looks right over towards the whole Digi-Destined group and faces them completely. He was now going to hand picks his successor in the War Games competition. He smiles up to them and points right over towards the beautiful Celesta X.
"It's your turn, sis."
"Uh?! Me?!"
"Eh?! No! Not Kari!" exclaimed Paildramon.
Angemon X and War Angemon both gasp in horror at what he just announced about his own sister taking his place.
"What?! Impossible! have you gone insane?!" said Metalla X.
Black War Greymon remains silent even after Omega X made the shocking announcement.
"Kari?! He's going to get his own sister killed! That damned fool!" Sora thought.
Celesta X stares right out towards her brother, as if she were pondering. She brushes back her long, hair out of her face. Her blue eyes were now filled with shock and fear at the same time. But then, the look on her face was now starting to lower into a more determined look. Omega X nodded in determination towards his sister.

The boy looked on as his new hero called forth to the new challenger. He was quite surprised that a beautiful woman was taking the warrior's place.
"Whoa, who is that? How will she be able to defeat Virus? This is something I've gotta see!"
With that said, the boy glued his eyes to witness the female preparing to take Omega X's place. Little did he know that he would come to eventually know this female warrior one day.

Mrs. Kamiya screamed in horror and pounds her fists on the ground with sheer anger.
"Taichi Kamiya?! Just what the hell are you thinking?!"
"Kari?! But, dear, please. They've gotten a lot stronger in those forms. I'm sure that she can hold off that monster!" said Mr. Kamiya.
"But… Tai is… He's trying… to get… his own… sister… killed… No! What are you going to do about this, Kari?! Kari!"
Mrs. Kamiya then starts banging on the television with her fists and starts crying out her own daughter's name. Mr. Kamiya restrains his wife and holds her back from further hurting herself with pure rage.
"Honey! Calm down!"
Mrs. Kamiya continues her fit of rage but her husband was trying his very best at restraining her at every possible way.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Back on the battle site, Omega X jumps up into the air and then lands right behind the entire Digi-Destined gang. They all turn towards him with angry and shocked looks on their faces. They wouldn't agree with his judgment. But he understood that they would react like this in the first place. Omega X smiles and looks right over to Celesta X.
"I know you can do it, sis. You have the power within you."
Celesta X sighs and looks right up at her brother, still uncertain of his judgment and the decision to choose her over everybody else.
"Me… me… against Virus?! You've lost it, Tai," remarked Celesta X.
"You must be kidding me. I had a few names you were likely to nominate. But Hikari?! You're own sister?!"
"Please! You're making the wrong decision!" Sora said, "How can you be so sure about this?!"
"That's right! There is no possible way that Kari can defeat Virus, even in her fusion form! It's impossible!" Leomon exclaimed.
"I know you're correct that she's stronger than before, but this is not the right decision to make! You could have chosen one of us," War Angemon said, "I won't allow this!"
"Take a chill pill, guys. Celesta X is much stronger than anyone can imagine," Omega X explained, "She has an unbelievable power called 'Amazing Grace'. Think about it. Her digimon was fighting alongside the same level as our other digimon were. Heck, when Agumon and I first merged into one, we were nowhere as strong as Kari is today."
Paildramon steps forward and was next to make his statement over this whole situation concerning Kari and her powers.
"We know that she and Gatomon can reach the fusion level, but…"
Just then, he and War Angemon look right over to Omega X and then right over toward Celesta X. Then back to him and then back to her. Back to him, back to her.
"Their hidden powers started to work when we were in the time chamber room," said Omega X.
Celesta X looks away from her brother and then looks right down to the ground with a frightened look on her face. She wasn't ready to fight Virus, let alone save the two worlds herself. A shadow appears over her. Then she looks up and sees her brother patting her shoulder.
"Well, Kari, when you saw Virus and myself fighting, did you think that it was beyond our abilities?" asked Omega X.
"No, but you and Virus weren't serious during your whole fight, weren't you?" Celesta X managed to ask.
"I don't know about Virus, but I was pretty serious out there. I gave it my all!"
Just then, there was a long pause between the brother and sister conversation. But then that pausing moment was soon stopped as Omega X spoke up once again.
"That means we didn't seem serious to you at all, right," asked Omega X.
Celesta X stares right up at Omega X with a blank expression on her face. She didn't know what to say or how to react. War Angemon gasps in shock and then goes to ask Celesta X a question.
"Is this true, Kari?" asked War Angemon.
"Yes, it is."
Metalla X also gasped in shock and couldn't believe at what she just said. Now he has to deal with not just Tai but also his younger sister as well.
What?! No way! The battle, she's going to participate in?! How could she be even more powerful than I am? First, Tai surpasses but even his own baby sister?!"Matt said to himself in Metalla X's thoughts.
Virus scoffs while he was looking right down over at the Digi-Destined group with a smile on his face.
"Ha. Any day now!"
"Go on, Kari. Go fight to protect our two worlds. I know you can do it. Your a Kamiya after all," said Omega X.
"Yeah and a Kamiya never gives up."
Celesta X gulps and relieves herself of the fear that was building up inside of her. Now she was gaining back her confidence and was now more than ready to face up to the evil artificial. She had to do it to not only protect the Digital World, but also to protect her friends, family and the many innocent lives back home on earth. She finally smiled and nodded her head.
"Ok! I'll try! I won't let you down."
Omega X nods and then moves aside as he left Celesta X to move her moment in the middle of the spotlight so to speak. Celesta X looks right down at the battlegrounds and sighs heavily. Now this was her chance to prove her doubters wrong. War Angemon watches quietly. Paildramon rubs the back of his head. Metalla X could barely stand this and he was growling to himself angrily.
"Kari… I can't believe this…"
Celesta X shuts her eyes and then she starts to rise up into the air. She looks right up towards Virus with an intensified look on her face. Celesta X hovers right down onto the ground and waits for the evil artificial to meet her down. Virus looks right down at Celesta X and pops his neck.
"Hmmm."
Celesta X gets into a stance and then brushes her hair away from her face. Virus could only look down with a smile on his face. He quickly wanted to laugh at her futile efforts, but he was more than happy to test out his powers against the sister of Tai.
"Hmm. Fools! Do they possibly think that this weakling will have any kind of a chance of defeating me?! They are more delusional than I first thought."
"Huh? What's going on? Oh! I get it! Looks like we got ourselves a new fighter that will step up to the plate and get a shot at Virus," Bill said, "But it looks like some sort of Amazonian goddess of some sort. This is no place for a woman to be fighting!"
"Hey watch it, loud mouth!" exclaimed Arukenimon, "I happen to be a woman myself! I say more power to us women! I'll be more than happy to see what this one is truly made of."
"I guess we'll have to see if this mystery woman will stand any kind of a chance against Virus! Ladies and gentlemen! You heard that right! If this woman fighter fails, then our last hope rests on the shoulders of Mummymon! By the way, how's you ulcers doing?"
Mummymon stands there and looks right over towards Bill. He heard the word 'ulcers' and he had just remembered that he was not pulling off his 'act'. He quickly falls to the ground and cries out angrily in tremendous 'pain'. Skull Mammothmon and Boltmon were there to try to comfort Mummymon.
"Ow! The pain! Damn, why did you have to go and remind me of that?! I'm still sick here! Ow! The pain!"

Even Gennai, X and Azulongmon had their opinions of the next fight that was going to take place between Celesta X and Virus.
"I don't understand! Kari and Gatomon are simply no match for Virus! Even in their fusion state! This just doesn't seem fair," said Gennai.
"It may not be fair, but it is Tai's decision," X replied. "But I truly believe that this Kari is the one with the 'Amazing Grace' power. I have once prophesied Tai as that bearer, but it would be his younger sibling. She perhaps does have the power needed to destroy Virus once and for all."
"I just hope your right about that one, X. Because the fate of the two worlds rests on her shoulders now!"
"She is the Digi-Destined of Light and her Light is destined to defeat the darkness, but I fear that this darkness may even prove to be too much for the holy child's light. I pray for the light to overcome this darkness," Azulongmon said.
"C'mon, Kari. It's up to you now. I see a pattern here," X stated. "It's sort of like passing the torch."
"A good analogy, my friend," Gennai said.
"Yes. Tai has passed the torch to his sister. Let's see if Kari doesn't end up getting burned by that torch."

Back onto the battle site, Omega X turns around and faces Sora. Sora looks right back to him and begins to ponder on what he could be thinking.
"What is it, Tai?"
"Sora. Can I borrow your digivice for a minute?"
"Huh? Um, sure. Here you go."
Sora hands her digivice over to Omega X and he quickly takes it with consideration.
"Ah. Thank you."
Omega X tosses it up and catches it with ease, as if it were a coin. He looks right up at Virus and smiles. He whistles over to Virus and catches his attention. Virus looks right over to him and begins to ponder on why he would be calling him. Omega X holds out the digivice.
"Virus! Here!"
Just then, the digivice began to glow and a beam of light energy comes flying right out of the digivice and Virus watches as it enters his body. He could feel his ki powers increasing and everything being restored into this being. This quickly catches the other Digi-Destined by total shock at what they were seeing. They could not believe at what they were seeing right before them.
"Here Virus! You could use this energy right about now! You're power has been restored!"
Paildramon gasps in surprise and gets right in front of Omega X with an angry look on his face. He grabs him and looked like he was about to punch Omega X's lights out. Angemon X, War Angemon and Leomon were all angry at what their leader just did.
"Tai! You idiot! What are you trying to do?!" asked Dinobeemon.
"That's it! It's official! You have completely lost it, Tai!" Sora exclaimed, "And you used my damn digivice!"
"Don't worry, guys. He's lost a lot of his power. It wouldn't be fair if my sister were beat to Virus in the condition that he was in."
"What the hell are you talking about?!" asked Paildramon.
"You can't judge what's fair or unfair at the time like this! That's Kari fighting a powerful monster out there!" exclaimed War Angemon, "Dammit, Tai! Have you lost your brain cells?!"
Virus just simply laughs at their futile efforts and cracks his knuckles. He couldn't believe that Omega X had just helped him recover and regain all of the lost power that he had in his possession.
"What a fool. Your sympathy touches me, but sweetness can kill. Don't you understand?! Nevertheless, I shall use this energy! Taichi, you shall soon regret for your own stupidity," said Virus.
Omega X just simply smiles and watches as Virus starts to power up his ki level. The evil artificial felt his body increasing with massive energy and his energy supply being restored all at one time. Just then, a large aura of red energy surrounded Virus as he now was completely restored of his true, potential power once again. He feels his feet and wings springing back to life, which was an indication that he was recovering.
"Damn it!" exclaimed Silphymon.
Virus looks right down at the Digi-Destined group with a huge smile on his face. Now he was going to use this new power in order to defeat his new opponent and move on to fight the next warrior that decides to step up to the plate. He was hoping to kill Omega X since day one, but killing Tai's own sister will have to do for now.
"So this is my newly restored power?! This is brilliant! Your digivices are quite a useful little item. I thank you, Taichi! I don't care about anything anymore! Now watch as I kill your sister for your viewing pleasure!"
"Tai! You just did something very reckless!" exclaimed Leomon.
"If she dies, I'm going to kill you myself!" War Angemon said with pure rage and intensity in his voice.
"Just chill out and watch! You'll be quite surprised to see how much my sister has improved since we left the time chamber room," said Omega X.
Celesta X slowly looks right up towards Virus, who was hovering from way above her. She slowly shuts her eyes and starts powering up. A bright pink aura was forming all over her body. He raises her arms, crosses them together over her chest, and then throws them down to either side while screaming out. Her voice was more angelic and softer than the screams from the others. It sounds as though she were chanting a prayer. She begins to rise her own ki level and a small shockwave travels out, throwing up some dust around her.
The raising of her ki generates a strong wind. The wind swirls around her, pushing into the rock of the crater's sides. The Digi-Destined and their digimon held up their arms and hands to shield themselves from the strong winds. Paildramon and the other fusion ultimates start to yell. Angemon X's hair is blown about, but otherwise, he's just fine staring straight out to the wind. Another shockwave travels out from Celesta X, further damaging the sides of the crater. Omega X watched his sister happily.
Bill screamed, hanging onto the side of the cliff, trying to keep from being blown away. Ted is sent flying back away from Bill. Skull Mammothmon and Boltmon both struggle to keep from being blown away themselves.
"Whew! What a rush!" Bill exclaimed. "The winds of fate have changed, ladies and gentlemon!"
"Agh! What an awesome power! I've never felt anything like this before!" exclaimed Skull Mammothmon.
****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Training Grounds
Even Azulongmon and Gennai were following the battle from the secret training grounds. They were just as shocked to fell the true ki power from Celesta X. It was simply amazing and they couldn't even know how to describe such an incredible power from an single individual.
"This is… Celesta X's ki! Its both Gatomon and Kari! Oh lord, they're even stronger than Omega X now!" exclaimed Gennai.
"Incredible!" X replied. "Her power is even above her own brother's! She's surpassed Tai only barely."
"You suppose she stands a better chance than Tai did?" Azulongmon asked the masked warrior.
"Maybe. Her power feels differently from Tai's. Celesta X's power is majestic. C'mon, Kari. Give it you're all!"
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Back on the battle site, the wind moves all around Celesta X with tremendous force. His power up continues. Virus stared right down. War Angemon watches Celesta X through the high winds.
"Kari… I can't believe this…"
Metalla X was just as shocked as ever when he finally read her ki. He was even angrier when he finally found out that even Kari was able to ascend to a much higher level than he has ever achieved. Omega X continues to watch this on with a huge smile on his face.
The power was now finally finished and the strong winds have now disappeared. Celesta X stares right up at Virus through a healthy, strong pink aura of holy light. Virus stares right back down at her. Altur Kabuterimon, Garudamon, Lillymon, Zudomon and Seadramon all looked down in total amazement at what they were looking at. Even both War Angemon and Angemon X were stunned by Celesta X's tremendous power. Leomon and the others were just as stunned as ever. Paildramon's eyes widen and his mouth gapes open, as he was looking at the so-called girl of his dreams much stronger than he is now. Black War Greymon is even astounded by the warrior himself. The same goes for Metalla X. Pretty much the only one not surprised by these turn of these events, besides Celesta X, was Omega X. Celesta X stares right up at Virus and her fists held out right in front of her.
"That's Kari and Gatomon's fusion form?! That's the little girl Kari that I once knew?"TK said to himself in War Angemon's thoughts.
"The once sickly little girl with a whistle around her neck and the cute charm?"Matt asked himself that in Metalla X's thoughts. "I would have never imagined for their fusion form to gain this much power!"
Virus just simply smiles right down at Celesta X, but not as surprised as the others were.
"I guess Taichi wasn't bullshitting after all."
Virus looks up and faces away from Celesta X, but still watching her within the corner of his eye. It was obvious that he was letting his arrogance get the best of him at this situation.
Virus pushes out his wings and then flies right towards Celesta X. He lands right behind her. They face away from each other, each one showing their back to the other. Virus turns halfway around, and Celesta X looks back at him. Celesta X turns herself halfway, as well. Both of their bodies now face the same direction, and their heads are turned to watch each other. Celesta X brushes her long, blonde hair to the side and then gets into a fighting stance.
"Maybe you're lucky. Even though you look pretty hot and tasty looking in that sexy suit, you shall die nonetheless. But right after you see the real horror."
"Pervert... Make you're move, you creep."
[Saliva's "Click, Click Boom" plays]
He smiles silent right towards Celesta X and licks his lips. Suddenly, Virus throws in a kick. Celesta X easily, almost effortlessly, blocks it. He throws another, which Celesta X blocks again. Virus then begins a punch and kick frenzy, which Celesta X has no problem in blocking or dodging. Virus flies into the air, and then slides in to kick straight into Celesta X with the weight of his entire body. Celesta X jumps into the air and Virus flies right under her. Virus stops himself and looks up, then follows Celesta X into the sky. Virus gains on Celesta X, and then passes right by her. He looks down at Celesta X and screams. He quickly vanishes, then reappears and throws in a kick. Celesta X phases out quickly.
She then lands on the ground, almost on one knee, but stands so that she's stretching one leg back behind her and leaning fully on the other. Omega X goes calling out to encourage his sister on.
"Go. sis!"
The other Digi-Destined watch on in complete surprise. War Angemon and Paildramon stare right down at Celesta X, better known to them as Kari Kamiya.
"You can do it, Kari! Go kick some booty!" exclaimed Paildramon, "Even though you got a nice booty!"
"Ahem. Lets just concentrate on her fighting skills," said War Angemon.
"Oh right. I just got a little carried away there."
"Kari! You can do it!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"Wow! This mystery woman with a nice booty has started to fight! She's doing well, but remember, shes fighting Virus! Can she keep up for more than a minute," said Bill.
"And for the last time, it's ass! Not booty!" exclaimed Mummymon.
"So and we women are proud of that," Arukenimon said, "You men are just a bunch of sexist pigs. I think this fighter will prove that women have it all."
"Sure, whatever," retorted Bill.
Virus quickly smashes into the ground, throwing up tons of dust into the air. Celesta X faces into the sky. Virus appears above him and throws a furry of punches that Celesta X is able to dodge with ease. The Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors stare up into the sky, watching the duel. Virus finally stops, and the two jump away from each other. Virus smiles.
"You are certainly quick, Hikari! I guess I shall use my full speed. Isn't that right, Gatomon? I certainly haven't forgotten you."
Celesta X quickly gasps and her knowledge of Myotismon starts to flashback in her mind repeatedly. Virus suddenly appears right in front of Celesta X and hits her hard in the face. Celesta cries out as the impact occurs. Virus catches her by her neck and holds her up. Celesta X has her hairs completely shut, whimpering a bit. Virus then begins punching her pretty face over and over again, holding her up by her neck so that she doesn't fall away.

Mrs. Kamiya is screaming and punching on the television set angrily. She was practically forced to watch her own daughter getting pummeled like she was out there at this very moment. Mr. Kamiya was holding her back and trying to calm her down.
"Hikari! Hikari! Stop the pain! Please, stop the pain, goddammit!"
"Honey! Please! She's fighting for us and for the whole world! Calm yourself! I'm sure she'll be just fine!"
"How can you fucking say that?! Our baby girl is getting killed out there! I'm not going to stand losing both of our children in one day! Why couldn't I had normal children who don't get themselves involved with monsters?!"

Rika remained in her private room watching the battle taking place. Unfortunately, her eyes were unable to keep up with their superior speed.
"Wow. This is so mind-boggling. Ugh, thank god I snuck in here before I had to wear those crappy dresses. If only I had a partner, then I… No, I'm too independent. Although, this girl fighting Virus is definitely showing me that a girl can do whatever she can on her own. Maybe, I'll be able to find something that suits my needs… You've just opened a window of opportunity, warrior woman…"

War Games Venue
Back on the battle site, Virus lets Celesta X fall away. As Celesta X falls to the ground, Virus hits her one final time with a strong kick that sends her sailing into the ground. Virus smiles in satisfaction at what he has done.
Angemon X is looking right over to Omega X with a worried look on his face. He wanted to bring Omega X back into reality but it didn't seem to bring any sense into Tai.
"Tai! You're just going to allow this to continue?!"
Omega X is still unfazed by the scene he is witnessing at the very moment as we speak. He seems to be waiting for something but would not let the others know what his plan was about.
"Tai?! Don't you even care?!" asked Paildramon.
War Angemon appears right in front of Omega X and grabs him with sheer intensity. A fueling fire was now burning in his eyes out of anger. he can't stand seeing Kari getting pummeled without anybody going out there and helping her at all costs.
"You going to help her, or I'm going to kick your ass," exclaimed War Angemon, "Then I'm going to save her!"
Omega X just looks onto the battlefield with a huge smile on his face. Sora looked towards him with a look of disappointment and she just wanted to slap some sense into him to bring him back into reality.
The dust settles around Celesta X's impact site. She slowly climbs to her feet, while staring right out to Virus. A thin line of blood was running from her mouth down her chin. She wipes it away and smiles. Virus smiles back right at her. He sees Omega X's calm, confident smile, and looks right back down to Celesta X. The angelic Amazon warrior prepares to continue the battle, returning into a fighting stance. Omega X watches calmly. Both War Angemon and Metalla X look on with total disbelief on their faces. Angemon X, the ultimates, the fusion ultimates, Seadramon, Leomon and the remaining non-fusion Digi-Destined all watch on, with transfixed and amazed looks on their faces. Virus grins down towards Celesta X, while Omega X watched on the battle that was now getting set to continue to where it left off.
Celesta X and Virus are now staring down each other, as the War Games seem to have now taken a new step. Celesta X has proven so far that she is no pushover, despite being female. This was her chance to shine and hang with the so-called "big boys".
The blowing wind is now the only sound that could be heard in the air. Celesta X pulls her arm back slightly. Virus finally breaks free of the silence as he begins to speak up.
"This battle grows increasingly more absurd, Hikari."
Omega X and War Angemon watch the two fighters from on top of the cliff while were waiting to see who would make their next move. Black War Greymon even looked right down to see the battle while the hair on the back of his face mask was blowing along with the wind.
"Kari! Hang in there! You can take this rat bastard!" exclaimed Paildramon.
"Kari!" cried out War Angemon.
The other Digi-Destined and their digimon were watching the battle in complete silence and weren't going to say a single remark. They would just keep quiet and not jinx Kari in any form of fashion. Even Omega X was keeping silent while watching the face off.

Odaiba. Kamiya Residence
Back on earth, Mrs. Kamiya leapt to her feet and was beginning to whine in many proportions than one. She wouldn't remain calm and was becoming as angry as a hornet, or even much worse than that.
"Hikari! Hikari! How could Tai let her fight such a monster?! What the hell is he thinking?! Is he trying to get his own sister killed?! Oh my baby girl!"
She begins to cry, but Mr. Kamiya reaches over in order to console her.
"I should have prevented him in the first place! Kari should not even be fighting! She's not that type of person!" she exclaimed.
She quickly stands up and clenches her fists, and Mr. Kamiya recoils, not quite sure what his unpredictable wife will do next. She began to wail away.
"Hikari! Don't fight that hideous monster! No matter how grown up you are now, you're still my baby girl! I don't want you or Tai to die!"
"Honey! Just calm down!"

Back at the War Games site in the Digital World, Mummymon's group was watching what seemed to be the Amazonian goddess battling Virus. Mummymon wears an expression of astonishment; Ted's face is hidden behind his camera, Bill watches for the next round to begin, and the disciples converse.
"Well, she's been holding off her own. I told you that us women could hold off our own! She's not that bad, much better than you Mummymon," Arukenimon remarked.
"Aw shush," said Mummymon.
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Virus walks calmly up to Celesta X and then stops a few feet away, smiling. Celesta X watches as she leaps back into the air and throws a ki-blast from above. Celesta X growls as she jumps away from any further danger. Virus follows her, and Celesta X ends up against a rock wall. Virus throws another ki-blast, and Celesta X jumps away as the wall disappears in a large explosion. Virus throws down another ki-blast at Celesta X, and she flies back yet again. More come straight for her, but she was able to maneuver away from them barely.
"Hikari! Dodge this!"
"Watch it, Kari! He's using one of Burizalor's killer beams!" War Angemon cries out.
Another ki-blast comes straight for Celesta X, but she is able to dodge that upcoming blast. More ki-blasts keep coming but Celesta X was able to maneuver and dodge away from each blast being fired away at her. He stops horizontally and shoots straight up.
"Oh man! What an awesome display by this young woman fighter! I've never seen such heroic fortitude! But she's no match for Virus! All she can do is dodge his attacks!" Bill exclaimed.
The people on earth and the digimon could see the fight but now their screens were now being covered and blocked away by tons of dust and smoke on-screen. It makes it hard for them to see what is happening during the so-called battle.
Back on the battlefield, Virus speeds right forward to Celesta X, then suddenly phases right out. He quickly reappears behind Celesta X. She spins around to meet him and gets decked with his fist face first. Virus follows that one up with a kick, and then jumps over to Celesta X's new position and over her head to get behind her. Virus springs forward again, and they both jump into the sky above. Virus screams and throws in a kick, but Celesta X phases right out. They land again. Virus smiles right over to Celesta X, while she stares right over to him.
"Like this, Kari will be given a chance to take advantage from here. C'mon Kari! You can do it!" exclaimed Paildramon.
"Hikari! C'mon! Stay focused!" cried out Angemon X.
Omega X remained calm, while War Angemon and Leomon look on with concern on their faces.
Virus rushes forward and hits Celesta X, then she kicks him back. Celesta X does a handspring flip backwards, but Virus rushes over towards her and nails her. The Digi-Destined watch on, as they were now starting to worry for their comrade.
"No! Kari! Pull yourself together!" exclaimed War Angemon.
Virus holds out an arm to incinerate Celesta X off once and for all.
"Hikari, if you seek someone to blame, blame your brother, who sacrificed you to me."
[Drowning Pool's "Tear Away" plays]
He screams and then fires a blast right over towards Celesta X. A bright, white blast springs forth and blasts Celesta X. She is then thrown back screaming and crashing straight through a nearby rock wall. Virus stares behind him into the billowing cloud of dust. The Digi-Destined could now only watch in horror at what they have just seen.
"No! Hikari!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"Kari… No! This can't be happening! It can't be!" cried War Angemon.
"How cruel… that fucking monster," Paildramon muttered under his breath.
However, even with every single Digi-Destined looking sad at the moment, Omega X remained smiling for some strange reason. He was still as cool and calm as ever.
"Whoops. I overdid it," Virus said while closing his eyes and chuckling.
The ultimate-leveled fusions, Seadramon and the other ultimates all looked on with open-mouthed amazement. Metalla X stares on, unmoved. War Angemon quickly clenched his fists and looks right over towards Omega X with an angry look on his face. He looked like he wanted to rip Omega X's head off out of pure anger. In War Angemon's view, Omega X was his newest enemy.
"Tai! This is you're fault, dammit! You were absolutely wrong! We all warned you! We told you! Well, let me make it perfectly clear so that you can understand me! Hikari is dead! It's your fault! You let your sister die! We lost a friend! She's dead! And I hold you responsible!"
War Angemon's screams echoed through the surrounding landscape and it can now be heard from a very long distance away. After a few seconds, Omega X begins to speak up.
"Relax, TK. It seems as though Kari's ki hasn't decreased. You're the one who's wrong. Celesta X is still very much alive."
War Angemon gasped in disbelief. Paildramon looks up at Omega X, gasping as well. Now even Angemon X was picking up a power level reading from the battlefield and it was definitely from Kari's.
"No! He's right, TK! I can feel her energy as well!"
"Well, Taichi. The farce is done away with. Come down here so that we can continue our fight! C'mon, I'm waiting!"
"Nope! You're the idiot if you have no idea who you are facing. I suggest you turn around and take a look for yourself. This fight is not over. My sister is a lot more tougher than that."
"What now?!"
He quickly turns around towards the rock wall and watches as a small stone comes rolling down alongside the ground. Suddenly, a bright light explodes from within it, throwing the pile of rocks away in all directions. In the center is none other than the fully powered fusion of Celesta X. Her body was now glowing a translucent pink light and her long, blonde hair was flowing to her side while wind was blowing. Stones start to levitate all around her. Her baby blue eyes were now glowing as well.
Angemon X gasps in complete surprise and relief to see Kari back on her feet again.
"All right, Kari!"
"Way to stay alive, Kari!" replied Paildramon.
"I should have never doubted you, Tai," said War Angemon, "Sorry for blowing up like that and making myself look like a total jerk."
Virus gags in disbelief and watches as Celesta X was slowly starting to approach him. Sporting only a few minor injuries except with minor cut on her forehead, Celesta X stepped forward through the rubble. Virus began to eye her. She walks up to Virus and stopped a few feet away from him. Celesta X's aura starts to fade away.
"What a surprise. You are more durable than I thought."
Suddenly, her voice was now more like a woman's voice, much like many years ago when she was glowing a mysterious light during the battle against the Demon Corps and Burizalor. That same mysterious force that allowed Kari to aid Angewomon into battle many times in the past.
"Let's just stop. This battle isn't worth anything. It's pointless."
"Hmmm?"
Virus manages to cock his head, closes his eyes and chuckles. His chuckle suddenly turns into a hysterical laugh.
"Are you scared, angel child? You're saying that we should just because my War Games is meaningless?"
"Yes. It's irrelevant."
"It has value. For me, it serves as a warm-up. With your defeat, I will deal mankind and digital life it's end somewhat slowly. No one can save the two worlds. Certainly not yourself."
"I... I don't want to fight you. I don't want to kill you. Even someone like you."
"Whoa! What did she just say? I can barely hear to what she is saying," said Paildramon.
"I don't like fighting," Celesta X continues on, "Not like my brother, Tai."
"Yes. Yes. I can understand not wanting to fight me. But don't you even have the urge to finish me off?"
Celesta X stares right at him blankly and doesn't even say a single word. it was as if she were abruptly cut off at the very moment.
"Even if you fought me from a century from now, you would never win. I am correct, yes?"
"I'm starting to understand why my brother thinks I'm the only one who can defeat you. You see, our fusion transformation goes back a long way. You carry the data of an enemy we once had. His name was Myotismon. And he is apart of you. He still haunts me in my dreams to this day. He is my most hated adversary. I bet you still enjoy the moment when you killed Wizardmon. Don't you, Myotismon?"
Virus stands there smiling at what she just said. He even has Myotismon's knowledge and could easily remember Wizardmon's death as if it were yesterday.
[Hikari's 02 image theme "Yasashii Ame" plays]
Flashback
"I could remember the time Myotismon used to abuse me just for his own cruel pleasure. He was such a bastard just like you."
Salamon is crying and them Myotismon strikes her down with his Crimson Lighting attack. Salamon goes flying back and crashing into a nearby wall. Salamon slowly sits up with a huge welt on her forehead.
"Every time you look at me with those eyes, I will have to hurt you!"
Salamon looks right up at Myotismon with her eyes full of tears. Myotismon could only smile down and hold out his hand. He strikes her once again with another 'Crimson' Lighting.
"He always uses to strike me down just because of my eyes. It's not my fault. He was always so cruel in every way possible. And if I failed, he would always rape me for the hell of it! I never deserved all of that abuse and I always had to do his evil bidding. Right when I digivolved into Gatomon. I always knew I had a partner, but I never realized that until we went to Earth. There my closest friend, Wizardmon, found the digivice and he actually united me with Kari. We became one and we were destined to become together. I was the destined eighth digimon, but Myotismon saw it as threat. He tries to use me as bait so that he could kill Kari."
Myotismon was prepared to unleash his 'Crimson Lighting' upon both Kari and Gatomon, right after they were united once again at the TV station. Wizardmon saw the attack coming forth and stepped right in front of them. And he paid the price for what he did and was struck down.
"He kills Wizardmon. He had no right. But Wizardmon said this to me. He said 'He has no regrets of what he did and that he thanked me for everything.' I knew then that I had to avenge my friend's death. So I digivolved into Angewomon and I made that evil demon for everything he did to me. All of the abuse, the hateful rape and the murder of my closest friend. All of that managed to fuel an anger that was building up inside of me for all of those years. I destroyed Myotismon by my own hand."
Angewomon pulls back on her Celestial Arrow and then she shoots the arrow right down towards Myotismon. The holy arrow strikes right through his chest and Myotismon gasped out in pain. As soon as that occurred, Myotismon screamed out and was disintegrated through a bolt of lighting.
"Then there was the battle against Burizalor! He's much like you Virus, cold and uncaring for others. He almost tried to kill all of us and almost succeeded in doing so. He was just like Myotismon, only ten times crueler. What really angered was the fact that this mad man who laugh every time he's maim a person. He can rot in hell for all I care."
"So you want another shot at me? Then be my guest," proclaimed Burizalor.
"You bet I want another shot!" exclaimed Angewomon. "Angels never give up, it's demons from hell like yourself that gives us more motivation to kill you."
"Oh is that a threat I just heard? If it is, I'm quivering in my boots."
"You will be, demon! Celestial-"
Burizalor quickly phased in front of her and threw him a punch. It knocks Angewomon away with that one shot. Burizalor phased behind her and shot out a devastating beam from behind. Angewomon goes flying back, Burizalor again phases out. Angewomon stops herself and turns to see Burizalor flying at her. Angewomon threw in a punch but Burizalor phased out. Angewomon turns and Burizalor applies a sleeper-type of hold on her. Angewomon gags and struggles under the monster's powerful grasp.
The others watched as Kari was taking blows like Angewomon was. Now it seemed as though Kari and her digimon have become linked during this battle.
"We were becoming linked together and it gives a good indication that we would fuse together into the being you see today. Burizalor tried to finish us off, but it still wasn't enough to kill us."
Burizalor grabs Angewomon and tosses her up. Burizalor fades above her and blasts down a shower of beams. Angewomon attempted to cancel them out but they were too fast. They all hit her and knocked her to the ground. Burizalor hovered down. Angewomon was rising to her feet.
"Angewomon. Why do you believe that you can beat me?"
"It's a little thing called destiny. Our destiny is to defeat evil forces such as yourself."
End of Flashback
A wind blows around the two fighters, throwing up a little dust. Celesta X continued on her speech.
"When we gain rage, an incredible amount of power floods through our veins beyond our control. And it will be destiny that will help us defeat you."
Virus watched the female quietly with great interest in her overwhelming speech.
"And it grew immensely in the time chamber room. We merged together and became Celesta X. My brother knows of our hidden power known as 'Amazing Grace', but he realizes that we haven't tapped into this true power. If we unleash it now, we could accidentally kill you and lose control altogether."
Virus lowers his head, chuckling. He throws back his head, once again, as his chuckle turns into a maniacal villainous laugh.
"An interesting story, Hikari. Good one, Gatomon."
He leans forward to face them with a smirk on his face.
"But it didn't work."
"What?!"
Virus stands at his full height once again and looks right down at Celesta X.
"You thought that fairy tale of yours would frighten me? You're simply just a woman who is looking for the coward's way out. But I'll accommodate you into becoming angry! I'm determined to see it for myself!"
[Ministry's "Bad Blood" plays]
With that said, Virus punches Celesta X right in her gut and then to the side of her face. Celesta X grunts and then loses a few steps. Virus appears right behind her and nails her right in the back once again. Celesta X looks right up at him and gets kicked right in her pretty face. Virus steps on her head and starts pinning the beautiful, angelic Amazonian to the ground.
"Oh no! Hikari!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"Omega X! Tai! Stop him!" cried out Paildramon.
War Angemon growls and then says, "If you go instead of him, Virus will let go of Kari! Do the right thing! Get your ass into gear!"
Omega X ignores all of their please and continues to watch the battle with a smirk on his face. Sora stepped right in front of him with a vein popping out on her forehead out of anger.
"Tai! Now! Go! Damn it, go!" exclaimed Sora.
"It's okay guys. Kari will win. She won't let us down. It's not over," proclaimed Omega X.
He looks out towards the battlefield and begins to mutter some words to himself.
"C'mon Kari. Get mad. Get mad. You have to get pissed off. What are you waiting for?!"
"Get angry, woman! Show me this powers of yours!"
Celesta X groans under the pressure of Virus' foot. She reaches forward and grabs a handful of dirt. Virus sighs, frustrated, then screamed, removed his foot, reached down and grabs her by her bra top. He holds up the injured Celesta X.
"Get pissed off!"
He barrages Celesta X with furious punches to her face and chest.
"Get mad! Get mad! Get mad! C'mon, Hikari! Get angry!"
He elbows Celesta X with all of his body behind it to end the barrage. Celesta X cries out in pain. She's thrown back into some rocks, and she slides through them. When she finally comes to a stop, she sits up and looks right up at Virus.
"Oh no! This doesn't look good! The Amazonian woman is not getting pummeled by Virus," exclaimed Bill, "Virus attacks! How will this woman pull out of this predicament? This is the perfect example of woman abuse but she seems to have brought this all onto herself. She asked for the fight and now shes getting it. What do you think, Mummymon?"
"Impossible! She's just a woman! Someone will have to help her out!"
"Oh then, Mummymon. You might go out and save her…"
Mummymon is surprised by this answer and then he rubs his chin. Ted turns to face Bill, focusing onto him and Mummymon.
"Everyone! This might be the opportunity to see Mummymon make his return into the ring!" exclaimed Bill.
Bill throws his arms up about enthusiastically as he speaks. Suddenly, Mummymon yells out in nervous pain. He then hunches over and holds his stomach and putting on his 'act' again.
"Oh! The ulcers are back! Uh…"
The disciples both run to his side in order to comfort him. Arukenimon rolled her eyes and then looked away from him.
"He's so pathetic. I just hope that poor woman is ok. She's getting pretty beaten up out there. But I have a feeling, that she has plenty of more tricks up her sleeve. I hope she is the one that saves the two worlds. Mummymon, your a loser."
"It's too bad! Mummymon is still plagued by the lethal ulcers. What will the fate of the two worlds come?! We might as will all die now!" exclaimed Bill.
Suddenly, a explosion goes off from behind them and they all jump up in total shock. Bill screamed as he is taken off of balance. Mummymon peered up over the rocks.
"Huh?"
Bill and Ted join Mummymon in to see the battle taking place between Virus and Celesta X.
"Will this poor woman die helplessly?! Can't anyone help her?!"
Virus rushes forward, and Celesta X prepares for the hit. The hit comes, of course, and Celesta X grunts in tremendous pain. She's thrown back, and Virus chases right after her.
"Get mad and show me you're power!"
Virus throws a punch, but Celesta X leaps into the air and dodges it with a backwards handspring. Celesta X's aura returns and she screams wildly and out of anger. Virus rushes forward, yelling, and Celesta X smacks him right back down with a handspring elbow. Virus gets hit and lands on his back.
"Yes! Virus is on his back!" exclaimed Paildramon.
The others watch on, surprised and happy, but also quiet.
Celesta X lands on her feet with her arms rose up into the air. War Angemon watches on nervously, Metalla X angrily and Omega X happily. Virus climbs onto his feet, stopping halfway. Celesta X prepares to continue the battle. They stare at each other in total silence. Virus rises back onto his feet to his full height once again. He wipes the impact spot, and then examines his bleeding thumb. A smile comes across his face.
"Hikari, I shall make you mad, somehow."
"That's right, Virus! Got for it,"Tai said in Omega X's thoughts, "That's it! Make her mad! You'll soon find out what fear really is."
Omega X looks down, smiling and still being as cool and calm as ever. The other Digi-Destined and fusion warriors watch on silently and in anticipation of what will happen next. Celesta X brushes her beautiful, blonde hair away from her face and then looks towards Virus with a smirk on her face, much like her brother's trademark smirk. Now the entire digital world and earth were looking on in anticipation.
It now comes down to this! Virus is determined to make Celesta X angry and will do everything in his power to carry out that wish! But will he succeed and unleash her hidden powers known as 'Amazing Grace'?!

[Preview]
Celesta X: Hi everyone, it's me Kari! It's pretty obvious that Virus wants me to unleash my rage. But what's holding me back? Why am I not feeling the desire to kill him?
Omega X: You need something to trigger that hidden rage. You have to unleash it, Kari. It's now or never!
Celesta X: But I can't! I don't thirst for battle like you! I'm too soft!
Virus: I know the perfect way to unleash you're suppressed rage, Hikari. Allow me to introduce my… Chibi Viruses!
[Seven Chibi Viruses start emerging from out of Virus' tail stump. The chattering seven turned to face the Digi-Destined and flies out to attack them.]
Celesta X: No! Don't!
Virus: This is the only way it will work for us, Hikari. Maybe you'll get angry after you watch you're friends die.
Black War Greymon: That's enough out of you, Virus! This must come to an end! I know I might not possess the power to destroy you, but it doesn't prevent me from standing up to scum like you! Datamon was a fool to begin with and his desire to kill will end here!
Virus: That's enough out of you now, Black War Greymon. Die!
[Virus fires a ki blast that pierces through Black War Greymon's chest and leaves a massive hole on his armored chest. The dark mega falls and his body starts fading away.]
Black War Greymon: Hikari… Do not hold back against this scum… Unleash this Amazing Grace and destroy him… You alone have the power… Do as you're brother wishes… Please…
Celesta X: Black War Greymon…
[Virus walks over and blasts the mega's chest. He destroys what looks like a heart. Black War Greymon is then deleted in the process. Virus stands with a demonic grin, but then feels a strong ki rising.]
Celesta X: No… Virus… You… Will… Die… RIGHT NOW!
[Celesta X's body powers up within a massive, bright aura of pure light. She undergoes her Amazing Grace. Everyother witness turns to watch. Virus looks on with a terrified expression.]

Black War Greymon's Sacrifice! The Amazing Grace is Born!
Outside of Tokyo. War Games Venue
The battle for the two worlds was still officially under way as Virus and Celesta X were still going at it, and they were stacking everything that they have left against each other. Neither one is looking on backing down from each other. However, it seems as though Celesta X is actually getting back the momentum that she was looking for.
She will really need to use it if she plans on defeating Virus. But then again, it won't be easy. Beating Virus will require a lot of hard work and effort in order to succeed. The Digi-Destined were worried over the fact that they are putting all of the pressure and hope from just a single person. Could Kari even handle all of this pressure forced onto her and save the two worlds on her own? It would seem impossible, but then again, anything is possible as far as the ability and the heart of the Digi-Destined remain strong.
Celesta X and Virus stare at each other quietly. The Digi-Destined watch on from the cliff side and were hoping for her to carry out their wishes and defeat Virus to end this nightmare once and for all. Omega X was seemingly getting upset over the fact that Celesta X hasn't been able to unleash her hidden powers.
"C'mon, Kari! Get mad! Your true power of the Amazing Grace will be there!"
Arukenimon watched the battle and was now beginning to become quite concerned over the whole situation. She turns to face Mummymon.
"What's going to happen now, Mummymon?"
"Hmmm. This is crazy. How could they let such a woman fight him?!"
Bill turns away from the fighters and then faces towards the reporter, who was now going to report on the update of the battle thus far.
"Unless somebody defeats Virus in this War Games, he is going to kill everybody on earth and in our own world. Nevertheless, there isn't anyone except that woman who seems to be fighting with Virus. What's wrong with them?!"
Bill looked around and then looks over towards Mummymon, as he was now going to ask him a question concerning this medical condition.
"Mummymon, how's your ulcer feeling now? Have they healed yet?"
"Huh?"
He suddenly hunches over and clutched his side. He then began screaming out and went along with the ulcer act, in order to give some sort of excuse from returning back into the ring to resume his fight with Virus.
"Yeah, yeah, it still aches very, very badly! Ow the pain! Why did you have to remind me?!"
Bill turns back towards the camera with a sad look on his face.
"Our only hope, Mummymon, is still suffering from a severe ulcer ache. Who else can save the two worlds?!"
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Back on the battlefield, Celesta X glares right over towards Virus, who was now going to make his next move.
"Hikari. Show me your hidden power."
Virus holds out his hand and points his finger over towards Celesta X's head. Celesta X looks right over towards him with a surprised look on her face.
"What?! Oh no!"
Coming out from his finger was a cut-through anything beam, as it was flying forth right towards Celesta X. She could easily recognize this attack from Burizalor. She quickly jumps away, and War Angemon notices this attack and gasps.
"Careful! That's the same beam Burizalor used many years ago!"
Celesta X quickly recalls Burizalor shooting Matt right through the chest during the first adventures. She takes this chance and manages to dodge each Burizalor beam being fired right at her. She beans back, leans forward, crouches on all fours, spring off the ground.
"Kari! Hang in there!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"She has too or else she's dead," said Dinobeemon, "This is her fight for her own survival was well."
Celesta X manages to jump to her left side, in order to dodge another Burizalor death beam. She doesn't stop when the beam passes. Though, she just keeps sliding to the left. Virus jumps out and grabs Celesta X out of nowhere. She cries out and yelps as he manages to get a tight grip on her. Celesta X begins to struggle under his grip and tries hard to break free.
Virus laughs maniacally and hugs Celesta X into him, while squeezing his body tightly as if he were a boa constrictor squeezing the life out of its helpless prey. As Virus tightens his grip, while laughing at the same time, Celesta X has no choice but to scream out in pain. She screams, squirms, and kicks her feet up, but all to no avail.
"Ha! What's wrong?! Doesn't it hurt? Get mad, then. You're not going to die like this, are you?!" Virus asked her frantically.
But as the grip tightens even more, the horrifying screaming continues. The fusion warriors and the Digi-Destined could stand it no longer as they were now prepared to go out and save Kari before she dies right before their very own eyes.
"Damn it!" exclaimed War Angemon, "Kari! We have to save her now! If you won't do anything, then I'm taking my ass down there and I'll save Kari!"
"Come on, Hikari! Don't be shy! I can hear your bones breaking! You don't have much time left! There's absolutely no reason for you to endure all of this pain instead of fighting me."
The screaming goes on, which causes the others to look on in horror and want to take their own course of action in order to save Kari.
"Oh no! The Amazonian woman can't break free! She's in great pain as we speak! Will she surrender and throw in the towel?! What will then happen next," Bill exclaimed.
He then looks right up into the sky and then prays to himself. He gets back onto the mike and begins to speak once again.
"What is going to happen to us, most importantly? Humans and digimon are in grave danger as speak!"
He looks up into the sky and remains silent. Then he turns around and sees Mummymon on his knees while begging for a chance to live.
War Angemon raised his fists and pounds the ground below as it cracks under his fist. He growls angrily and looks right over towards Omega X with eyes full of rage and anger.
"Damn it! I can't watch this anymore, Tai! I just can't! That's you're sister giving it her all and we're forced to watch this! Its time that I make my move and there's nothing you can do to stop me," War Angemon exclaims angrily.
Omega X cocked his head and listens to War Angemon's rambling.
"I'm going to save Kari, no matter what you say!"
"No! Wait, TK! You can't do anything to help her! Please… Please just wait a little longer. I'm not trying to kill my own sister, dude!"
"Wait?! What do you mean, wait?! Eh eh! You want me to wait until she gets killed! Tai, I hope you realize that she has a family and friends that care for her so much! Each and every one of us does, and I know you do as well. But let me save her, for our sakes! Please!"
"Wait for Kari to get angry! That way, Celesta X will have the power to finally beat an end to this nightmare!"
[Dragonball Z "Battle Theme" plays]
This suddenly makes War Angemon stop and look right over towards Omega X with a look of concern and astonishment.
"Once she gets mad, her true power of the Amazing Grace will be unleashed. Her enormous power…"
"What?! Enormous power?! Is this true?" asked Paildramon.
He and Angemon X look right over towards Omega X as if he had flipped but were now understanding at what he was trying to tell them. They were quite impressed with Celesta X and weren't surprised to hear about this hidden power within Kari, but could they really believe him?
"There is only one possible way to beat Virus for sure, and that is Kari's anger not to mention her hidden Amazing Grace."
The other Digi-Destined and digimon were all listening to Omega X's words with open-mouthed awe. They couldn't believe at what Omega X had just said. Was this why he was so confident in the first place?
"What?! Kari has this much power within her fusion form?"Matt said to himself within Metalla X's thoughts.
Celesta X resists even more violently, but that couldn't break the grip and was to no avail. The screaming continues.
"Get mad. Come on. I know it hurts you, Hikari… You hate me don't you?"
"No, Tai! Kari is not like you! She doesn't crave for fighting and competition like you," exclaimed War Angemon, as if he were now bringing reality back to Omega X. "Does she even know what you expect her to become?! Did you even tell her any of this?!"
With that said, Omega X quickly spins around with a gasp, finally affected out of his so-called fantasy world.
"Do you even want to know what she's thinking about at this very moment?! I'll tell you! It's very simple logic! She's wondering why her own brother is just looking on while she's suffering! Damn it, think about it!"
Omega X looks back at him, wide-eyed and open-mouthed in a shocked state.
"She must be hurt to realize that you're more concerned about the fight than her own life! You've always craved for competition and fighting, but she never has. She is a much different person from you, despite being your own flesh and blood! Remember this! Even is she is the number one fighter, she's still just a kind-hearted individual who doesn't like to hurt anyone or anything!"
Omega X looks right back to the fight, all shaken and still in shock.
"I don't care what you say, Taichi Kamiya! But I'm going out there!"
War Angemon powered up his ki and turned his attention over towards the battle as if he were ready to go out and make a difference in order to aid his best friend, who was getting her ass handed to her.
[Rob Zombine "Never Gonna Stop Me" plays]
Celesta X thrashes and screams about like a wild animal, but it was still futile. Virus glares right down at her with his teeth clenched tightly. Omega X's wide eyes suddenly narrow as he apparently reaches to his final decision. Behind him, War Angemon is about to take off into the battlefield. Omega X looks right over towards Paildramon.
"I'm going out there, Paildramon! You guys convinced me enough. I realize my mistake. I'm so sorry."
"Cool! We're glad you came back to your senses! Now lets kick Virus' ass and save Kari!"
But just as soon as they were all about to fly in to save Kari, Virus finally releases his tight grip, and Celesta X collapses onto the ground. The entire group all looked on in total shock at what they were seeing, a comrade of theirs falling in defeat. Omega X looked down to see his own sister laying face-first and because of his own stupid mistake. He stood there in complete shock and not able to move.
Celesta X lies on the ground, panting, with her eyes closed tightly. Virus looms tally over her fallen body with a triumphant look on his face.
"What a stubborn girl! I guess you need to see someone else get hurt," Virus proclaimed with a grin on his face. "Well then, I'll discuss the matter with your so-called Digi-Destined comrades."
Celesta X's suddenly shoot up in total horror and hears at what Virus was planning on doing next. If there was anything more revolting to her was to see others she loved getting hurt and killed by the forces of evil. As the child of light, she is disgusted by any evil force that threatens the people she cares for, especially her own brother, TK, Davis and the other Digi-Destined.
Virus turns and flies up towards the cliff, where the other Digi-Destined were all standing together as a group. Celesta X sits up slowly and cries out angrily.
"No! Stop Virus! Don't! You damn monster!"
Mummymon watches on in complete shock with his eyes widened, and he was now scared out of his wits. He was now beginning to think that Virus was coming right for him.
"Oh no! Virus is attacking again!" exclaimed Bill.
Virus flies right towards the cliff with a huge smirk on his face. He was now ready to take each fusion warrior and digimon on single-handedly and has the power to destroy them all in whole full swoop if he wanted to.
"Alright, Paildramon! Time to mega digivolve and kick some ass!"Davis exclaimed within.
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Paildramon felt his body increase in size as a beam of light covered his body. His ki level was now rising up to whole new heights. He was now a large, dragon with a cannon on his back.
"Paildramon mega shinka! Imperialdramon!"
Suddenly, he felt his body erect into a two-legged stance as he was now beginning to mode change.
"Imperialdramon mode change to! Fighter Mode!"
Fighter Mode now stood with a huge ki level and large amounts of energy flowing through his newly evolved body. He was more than ready to take on Virus
"All right guys! Attack with everything you got!" exclaimed Omega X.
They all nodded. The remaining Digi-Destined kids nodded and ordered their digimon to head out into battle. Shakkoumon, Silphymon, Dinobeemon and Leomon started out first.
"Kachita Bomb!"
"Static Force!"
"Hell's Masquerdue!"
"Fist of the Beast King!"
These four attacks all flew right towards Virus as if they were missiles but Virus was able to maneuver away from each blast with the tremendous of ease. This caught the digimon by surprise as Virus powers up for his next attack. He large ball of energy forms in his hands and he tosses it right out at them.
"Clown Trick!'
He pulls a page out of Piedmon's playbook and watches as the blast knocks the four digimon off of their feet. He then continues on towards the cliff and reading to take out his opposition. He looked towards five more digimon waiting in a group for him. He could hear the calling of the five children: Sora, Joe, Mimi, Izzy and Michael.
"All right, Garudamon! Get him!"
"Zudomon!"
"Lillymon!"
"Altur Kabuterimon! Give him what you got!"
"Seadramon! This is our chance! Lets give it our best shot!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Horn Buster!"
"Ice Blast!"
Virus watched as the five attacks coming hurtling towards him. A smile forms across his face as he holds out his hand. He stops and then dark force of energy comes shooting out from within him.
"Nightmare Claw!"
Now he managed to use another one of Myotismon's attacks and easily deflected the energy attacks right back at the digimon. The children watched on in horror as their digimon all fell the ground. Virus easily wasted them and he turned his attention over back towards the cliff.
All that remained were Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, Metalla X, Omega X, Angemon X, War Angemon and Black War Greymon. Virus takes a chance and flies right over towards them.
"This is our chance! We're all megas, so we should have a chance!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
War Angemon and Angemon X both shot out holy energy blasts but Virus easily wastes them with Metalseadramon's River of Power.
"Terra Force!"
Virus then shoots out an ice beam, courtesy of Metalla X, and sends it flying right towards Omega X, quickly knocking him off of his feet. Metalla X gets angered by this and flies right towards Virus.
"Payback time, Virus! Ice-"
But Virus easily cuts him off with a Mega Claw attack used by War Greymon. Metalla X goes falling down and tumbling onto Omega X. Imperialdramon gave it his best shot next.
"Positron Laser!"
He shoots out a huge beam from his cannon arm and sends it hurtling towards Virus. Virus easily spins right through it, which catches Imperialdramon by surprise. Virus appears right in front of him and delivers a punch right into the massive warrior's face. Imperialdramon goes stumbling back, which gave Virus enough time to shoot out Omega X's Terra Beam and knock Fighter Mode right off of his feet.
"Ha! You're all pathetic! Huh? Ahh, if it isn't Black War Greymon. You better stay back, if you know what's good for you. Now do the right thing and back down from this fight. I have no beef with you; we were created from the same creator. Now go, before I am forced to kill you myself."
Black War Greymon stands there as he holds himself back, not wanting to fight Virus. He still remembers that he was an artificial created to do Datamon's evil bidding. But would he still carry out the wishes of a dead creator?
"No… Damn it… We tried our best… He was too much," Imperialdramon managed to mutter, "We will do everything… that we can to stop you…"
"You won't get away with this… Virus," Omega X said.
"No… Kari… Get away from there… Now!" exclaimed War Angemon.
Virus lands right back down onto the battlefield with a huge smile on his face. He looks right back down onto Celesta X.
"Don't worry, it'd be too unfair for me to fight with. Well. On the other hand, I already wiped the floor with them. Even your own brother felt my wrath," Virus said as he chuckles to himself.
Celesta X is now on her knees and crouching with her fists all clenched up. Now her inner rage was slowly building up inside of her and fueling her desire to fighting Virus once again.
"What are you going to do now, Hikari? Yes, get angry! Let your anger get the best of you! Now! Do it! Before its too late for your friends."
"No! What are you planning on doing, you bastard?!"
"I'm doing to do whatever it takes to make you angry. I must see this hidden power within you! You should show it to me, unless you want to see each of your friends dead?!"
"Don't do it! It isn't something that I can control! I can't help it..."
"Then I shall help you. If inflicting pain on you won't work, then I'll inflict it on your friends and the digimon you love."
Virus quickly turns around and faces towards the fallen digimon and fusion warriors laying on top of the cliff, after being battered down easily just a while ago.
"Get ready! He's going to attack us again!" exclaimed Leomon.
"Damn it! I should have gotten a power up from a D-3!" exclaimed Omega X.
Black War Greymon watches while growling under his breath and clenching his fists underneath his armored claws.
Virus chuckles over to them and looks ready to go for another shot at the, Celesta X jumps up, screaming at the top of her lungs, but Virus easily kicks her to the side. She bounces away onto some nearby rocks and lands hard.
"Get mad! I want you pissed off at me! What the hell?!"
[Metallica "The Unforgiven" plays]
Suddenly, Virus spins around to see somebody launching himself right at him and gripping tightly on the evil artificial. It was none other than Black War Greymon himself. This catches Virus by surprise as he struggles under the dark mega's tight grip.
Everyone is caught by surprise and silent, with the exception of Bill the reporter, who always has something obvious to comment.
"What is this?! Looks like we got another contestant entering the War Games! Who is this stranger? He looks pretty mean, but will he be the one that puts Virus out of commission?!"
"No! Black War Greymon!" Omega X cries out.
"Ah! I get it now," War Angemon said, "Black War Greymon is an artificial. So Virus was unable to detect his ki. After all, artificials don't possess ki force!"
"Black War Greymon is going to fight Virus!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"But he can't beat Virus by himself!" exclaimed Angemon X, "We have to go down there and help him!"
"Yes! Let us go down and lend him a hand!" Leomon shouted.
They all get ready to go down to lend Black War Greymon a helping hand, but then he calls out to them as if he ordered them to stop within their tracks.
"No! Wait! Don't come near here! I'm going to destroy Virus now!"
This catches everyone by surprise and they were beginning to think that Black War Greymon had lost his mind and was just sacrificing his own life in order to stop the evil monster.
"No! It's too risky! We can't lose you!" cried out Omega X.
"You don't understand! There's a powerful self-destruction unit within my body! Forgive me for getting you involved. I am terribly sorry for us artificials to cause all of this suffering upon the two worlds, especially yours. We never intended to do so. This blast will also kill all of you as well, but we have no choice."
Even Virus was shocked at what Black War Greymon just said. He was now frightened as ever, watching the dark mega with his mouth wide opened and his eyes bulging. The Digi-Destined are also shocked, now Mummymon's clan is scared out of their wits. Black War Greymon looks down before him.
"Virus! You are a parasite to the two worlds! I won't let go you and even you won't survive this blast!"
Virus can do nothing more than just stare in horror and witness for the worst to come. His end was drawing near and his defeat would come at the hands of one his own kind.
"This is the end, Virus! I'll be destroyed, but so will you!"
Virus struggles to break free but even he is unable to break out of Black War Greymon's tight grip. It was as if Black War Greymon were latched onto him like a octopus, while squeezing the life right out of him.
"You should blame Datamon for this. He was the one who created us. He's the one who plotted to kill off the two worlds for revenge."
Virus continues his resistance, but just as Celesta X's struggle against Virus was futile, so is Virus' struggle against Black War Greymon.
"Black War Greymon! No!" exclaimed Silphymon, "Don't do it!"
War Angemon and Omega X watch in stunned silence. Imperialdramon is in pretty much the same state right now. He clenches his fists and shuts his eyes, then looks back.
"It's time to go, Virus! Isn't it a bitch? There… is where it ends."
Black War Greymon screams as he felt his body starting to pulse loudly. He quickly charges up his self-detonator. Virus' eyes bulge, his mouth hangs wide open. Black War Greymon begins to glow. The Digi-Destined all stand back to shield themselves from the explosion. Mummymon's crew ducks behind some rocks.
Mummymon hide right behind the rocks with Arukenimon, Skull Mammothmon and Boltmon covering him right up as if they were his shields to protect himself from the blast. They all tried slipping away but Mummymon pulls then right back towards him. Bill ducks and covers right behind a rock.
"Mommy! This is it! Goodbye everybody!"
With that said, there didn't seem to be any explosion or a huge impact occurring as a result of the explosion. No landscapes were being blown away and no screams were heard, nothing but silence. Bill looked up in concern.
"Hmm?"
He peered right over the rocks and couldn't believe that everything remained in intact and he was now glad that he was still alive. Ted comes peering up, along with Mummymon and his cronies. The Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors begin to lower their arms.
"Um? What just happened?" asked Shakkoumon.
"Beats me. Where's the boom?" asked Mimi.
Just then, Black War Greymon's glowing light quickly begins to fade away. He quickly gasps in horror with Virus looking right up at him.
"No! Why didn't why explode?!"
"Black War Greymon! It's because the destruction unit was removed!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"Well, ain't that a bitch?" Sora stated.
Black War Greymon gasped in horror. That was his secret weapon being taken away from him. Each of the Digi-Destined, with the exception of Izzy, Ken and Yolei, shared the same expression.
"Izzy told me this earlier ago. He and Yolei… Yolei took the unit out of you're body," Imperialdramon continues on.
Black War Greymon gasped once again. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. His only weapon to destroying the evil artificial was removed, because the Digi-Destined felt he was not trustworthy.
"What?! Is this true, Yolei?" asked Joe.
"Yes, I'll explain everything," Silphymon said, "It all started…"
Flashback: Earlier that day, before the War Games
Izzy and Yolei were both operating on Black War Greymon while Ken was looking at the computer and was analyzing his artificial body from within. Just then, Ken found something and it catches his attention.
"Oh? What's this? Hey guys, take a look at this!"
The computer beeps and signals at some object under one of Black War Greymon's breastplates. Izzy and Yolei walk over to him and both examine the computer.
"Yolei, can you magnify this?"
"Sure, Ken."
She goes back to another computer and begins typing away for further information, and the picture of Black War Greymon's insides were magnified and she pinpoints over towards the object within the dark mega's breast plate. The breastplate is removed on-screen to display the entire object, most of which resides under the plate. The computer scans it.
"Hmm. Looks like some sort of self-destruction mechanism," said Izzy.
"Its a powerful explosive," Yolei said, "Isn't it? It could destroy everything."
"Quite possibly," replied Izzy, "I wonder why Datamon installed such a device within Black War Greymon?"
"To kill Tai maybe," Ken said.
"Hmm. I really don't know if that's the only reason."
He looked right back up at the screen and then back over towards both Ken and Yolei.
"I think we should remove," Izzy replied.
They both nod in agreement and proceeded on to removing the device before the War Games were set to start.
End of Flashback
"That's right. We removed it," Silphymon explained, "We just couldn't trust him."
"I see… So he intended on using it other than destroying me," Omega X said, "But he also intended on killing Virus as well."
"Black War Greymon! You can't use it anymore! You'll have to find another way to fight him now," exclaimed Imperialdramon.
Black War Greymon gasped once again and is unable to move since he was now in a state of shock. Reality has now just hit him square in the face. Virus grins and begins to chuckle.
"Oh! I'm so sorry about that, Black War Greymon. I don't think I could have been destroyed by such a bomb anyway."
Virus quickly broke free of his grip, sticks his hand back and forms a ki-blast in his hand. Black War Greymon gasps. The blast fires, throwing the dark mega into the air. Celesta X gasps and watches in stunned horror. Omega X, War Angemon, Imperialdramon, Metalla X and just about every digimon, along with the Digi-Destined, gasped in shock. Black War Greymon goes flying back with a huge hole in the middle of his chest. Black liquid came spewing out from the hole. Some splattered over Celesta X's face as everything went into sudden slow motion.
Black War Greymon falls down onto the group with a huge hole in his chest. He was now unable to move. Celesta X watches, wide-eyed, and shocked. Imperialdramon turns away. Silphymon cries out and tries to go right after Virus but gets held back by her comrades.
"Black War Greymon! No! Virus, you ungrateful bastard!"Yolei screamed out to herself within Silphymon's thoughts.
Omega X clenched his teeth, angered and stunned at what he just saw right before him. Black War Greymon flat on his back with smoke coming out from the large hole in his chest. The dark mega stopped moving his limbs as his eyes closed shut and he was now officially terminated. Celesta X is completely shocked.
Virus rests his foot right over the fallen body of Black War Greymon. He smiles down on him.
"Black War Greymon. You were one of the inferior models to begin with."
Celesta X is speechless, but Virus simply grins again and looks right over towards the whole Digi-Destined group.
"Well then, who's next?"
Omega X and War Angemon are still in complete shock. Metalla X growls angrily over towards Virus.
"Damn you!"
Virus turns his back to Celesta X and was beginning to speak up once again.
"So Hikari, you still haven't gotten mad yet? I will make you angry no matter what."
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
He then turns his back to the Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors on the cliff and counts them.
"Lets see here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen and fourteen. Ah yes. Perfect! That makes it two groups of seven. Fourteen altogether, all right then."
Suddenly, Virus raises his fists and arches his back. He grunts and the remainder of his tail fans out like it did when he absorbed artificials Jax and Sonja.
"Ugh! What is he doing to his body now?" asked Metalla X.
Virus groaned for a moment. And then, one by one, objects start to fall out through his tail stump. They fly out too fast for even the fusion warriors to keep up with. They officially were losing count. Metalla X gasped. In all, fourteen things fall out of Virus before it closes right back up. The Digi-Destined watch on with shocked looks on their faces. They have never seen anything like this before. On the ground behind Virus are seven tiny Viruses They squeal excitedly and climb up to their feet.
"What the hell are those things?" asked War Angemon.
Omega X watched in stunned silence.
"More mysterious creatures have now appeared!" exclaimed Bill, "One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. There are fourteen altogether! Seven strange creatures have appeared out of Virus' back! What are they?!"
Ted moves up for a better view of the fourteen miniature Viruses. They were all rising up and smiling sinisterly.
Both worlds were all watching on in stunned silence at what they were seeing before them. There was now low murmuring over each citizen across the earth's globe and among the digimon in the digital world. Just about everyone was stunned and confused.
The little Viruses chirp up in excitement and began to see the outside world around them. Virus smiles right down at them.
"Now, my Chibi Viruses, those fourteen on the cliff are your enemy. Kill them, if that makes you happy!"
Celesta X gasped in shock and tries to stop them but she falls back down since her body was now hurting from extreme pain.
"Go, my children! Play nicely!"
[Cell Jr's English theme plays]
With that said, the Chibi Viruses all flew up in a swarm and headed towards the cliff to meet up against the fusion warriors and the digimon, who were now more than ready to fight them.
Omega X quickly took a fighting stance, as does War Angemon and Imperialdramon.
"Be careful! They're miniature clones of Virus! They are all very incredibly strong!" exclaimed Omega X.
War Angemon and Leomon all prepare to fight as they quickly powered up.
"Bring it on, freaks!" exclaimed Metalla X as he quickly powers up his aura with a shout.
Angemon X quickly follows suit and prepares himself for a very brutal battle. Virus chuckled with his arms crossed. He then begins to speak.
"Don't underestimate them. They might look small, but they have inherited my powers."
Omega X's aura flared up around him. The fourteen Chibi Viruses fly towards the cliff as a small pack. Imperialdramon prepares to fight them, as does the four other ultimates and Seadramon. Sora and the gang don't know what to think at this very moment, but they knew their digimon had to fight. Metalla X stared straightforward and ready to take on anything that comes at him.
Celesta X crouches down onto the ground, and watches helpless with tears pouring down from her eyes. Her mouth hangs open in shock, but then she closes it with sheer anger.

Odaiba. Kamiya Residence
The Kamiya parents were stunned by the sudden turn of events. The Chibi Viruses are having them baffled; yet worried.
"Just what the hell are those things?!" Mrs. Kamiya asked. "They're hideous and they're going to attack my son! Kari! Please get up! You have to! Besides, I never supported the idea of you participating in this stupid game!
"Honey, listen! Kari is already growing up as we speak. Maybe Tai has her fighting for a reason. Our son might be dense at times, but he knows what he's doing when it comes to situations such as this. He won't let us down."
"I just hope you're right. We can't afford to lose our children in this twisted game."
"We won't lose them. I promise you that."
Mrs. Kamiya gave her husband an assuring nod as a reply.
*************************************************************************************
Hong Kong.
The Poi Brothers were looking on worriedly for Celesta X. They have never seen such brutal force as Virus had inflicted on her.
"Get up, Kari! You have to stand up all of us!" the brothers exclaimed in unison.
The Hong Kong crowd were too baffled by the emergence of the Chibi Viruses. It was like watching another horror movie for them, yet they realize the games and the horror was real.

Matsuki Residence
The boy watched the battle in anticipation and created a poster for Celesta X to show his complete support.
"All you have to do is get up! C'mon, you're friends need you! Please!"
Unfortunately, there was nothing that the boy could do now. However, he would soon make a difference during the next following years. That's only if Celesta X stands up and puts a stop to Virus' twisted ambitions.

Azulongmon's Domain
Azulongmon, X and Gennai kept their eyes locked on the orb. They were now started to worry over the fact that Celesta X was brought down. They were just as baffled by the sudden appearance of these tiny little devils known as the Chibi Virus.
"Be careful guys! These little guys are all just as strong as his father," said X. "Keep you're guards up. C'mon, Kari. Please, you have to stand up to this creep. You just have to!"

War Games Venue
Back on the site of the War Games, a major battle was now going to take place. However, it was no longer going to be just between two individuals any longer. Now the rules have been changed and it is now anything goes. Virus has decided to this since he was growing bored of his so-called "inferior" challengers and wants to bring the anger out of Celesta X as much as he could.
So, he decided to go with much more different approach and sends out his Chibi Viruses, miniature replicas of himself, to attack the other Digi-Destined. This way Virus could bring out the anger out of Celesta X and force her to summon upon the secret Amazing Grace technique.
[Cell Jr's English theme plays]
The Chibi Viruses race towards the cliff as a large pack. The fusion warriors and the digimon were now getting ready to fight them with everything that they got. Silphymon stood there in complete shock.
"Ugh! These things are already starting to annoy me!" exclaimed Silphymon.
"Bring it on! I'll take them all on myself!" shouted Metalla X.
Angemon X hunches over, grunting as he prepares to fight the Chibi Viruses. Imperialdramon, Dinobeemon, and Shakkoumon were also more than ready to take each Chibi Virus with everything they had. But they are aware that each one possesses as much power as Virus himself. They all watch as the fourteen Chibi Viruses were drawing near the cliff side at rapid speed. Omega X shuts his eyes completely for a moment and then sees them flying in from above.
The Chibi Viruses arrive in a swarm just above the digimon. One comes flying right down at Metalla X while making funny faces to further infuriate him further. Metalla X shouts and goes on to attack the Chibi Virus head on, but it quickly catches Metalla X by the arm. Metalla X gasps in shock at what the little creature was able to do to him. Imperialdramon watches as another comes flying right in front of him, making faces and strange noises towards him. Imperialdramon leans back and goes to blast him with a Positron Laser, but the Chibi Virus was able to maneuver away from it. Imperialdramon goes and tries to throw a heavy punch at the small creature. But the Chibi Virus used his quick agility to dodge the punch with ease. However, the little Chibi Virus dodges each punch being thrown from the large mega. The little creature then flies right above him and smiles over to Imperialdramon.
"You missed me!"
Imperialdramon growls angrily and flies right up towards the Chibi Virus, but the Chibi Virus dodges each punch that is being thrown at him. Then there are brief glimpses of Angemon X and War Angemon fighting against their Chibi Viruses. Neither of them seems to be having much more luck than Imperialdramon. With their attacks are hitting the mark, they aren't doing any damage whatsoever.
Metalla X has pretty much the same problem. The Chibi Virus easily fields all of Metalla X's attacks. He throws in several punches, blocks a few punches and then begins to get angry. The Chibi Virus smiles at him the whole time. Metalla X pulls back his arm in order to throw a hard punch, but the Bio-Virus phases right out. He looks up above at his Chibi Virus and takes place.
Behind him, Silphymon and Shakkoumon both struggle with a Chibi Virus of their own. All they could do is block their hits and they don't even have a chance to charge up any attacks. They can barely defend themselves. Leomon and Dinobeemon are even worse off than their comrades, as it seems that they couldn't block some of the hits themselves. Omega X is having just as much trouble with his Chibi Virus while not taking a recharge from a D-3 that would have been provided to him earlier ago prior to the Chibi Virus battle.
Then a far off view is shown from off the cliffs that show most of the digimon simultaneously. Each one struggles with a Chibi Virus, but of course, some are in slightly better situations. Angemon X, Silphymon, Shakkoumon, Leomon and Dinobeemon are all the ground. Imperialdramon and Metalla X in the sky. War Angemon begins to move into the picture from what appears to have been out in front of the cliff. Virus watches the battle with a smile. Celesta X has finally gotten all the way to her two feet. She watches in shock and anger. Her eyes are wide, his mouth hanging open. She's now completely speechless.
However, there isn't someone always being speechless and that is none other than Bill himself. He snapped out of his shocked state and begins to speak on the mike once again.
"The unknown fighters are fighting with the fourteen small creatures that have just emerged. The situation is so confusing that I can't tell you exactly what's going on there, but it's an incredible battle to say the least."
Beside him, Mummymon gapes in shock, and beside him, Arukenimon, Skull Mammothmon and Boltmon are all stunned. They all watch the battle as if they were in a complete trance. Bill holds the microphone up towards the shocked Mummymon.
"So, Mummymon. How are your ulcers at this very moment?!"
"Huh? Ulcers…"
"You're ulcer aches seems to have gone away."
"Ah! You didn't have to remind me!"
Mummymon quickly holds his stomach and crouches down onto the ground. He howls in pain and continues his so-called act.
"No! No! No! It's still there! I've just been trying to hold it, but… I… I can't do it any longer…"
"I see. Too bad," Bill said.
"If you would have had the same pain, you would have passed out a long time ago. That's because I've an accomplished fighter and I am able to hold this in!"
"Oh! I see! You are indeed a great master, Mummymon."
Mummymon laughed while standing there as if he had already gotten out of his little "act". Bill takes notice of this and approaches him.
"Ah, feeling better now?"
Mummymon suddenly crouched and clutched his stomach and started moaning in tremendous pain as loud as he could.
"Ugh, what an embarrassment and to believe that I had to tutor him all these years,"Arukenimon said to herself while slapping her forehead. "Hey bandage boy, you want some medicine?!"
"No! You get that crap away from me!"
The Chibi Virus leaps forward and then punches Omega X hard right in the face. Omega X falters and then falls right back, almost losing his balances completely. His aura disappears as a result, and it looks as though he was losing his power after the beat down. The Chibi Virus bounces off a rock and flies off, down through the cliff, tunneling through the rock back to Omega X. He comes up right under Omega X and punches him, throwing Omega X into the air. Omega X jumps back up to a crouch as soon as he hits, and Chibi Virus flies in and kicks him in the head. Omega X gets back to his feet and the Chibi Virus flies straight at him, back and forth. Omega X can barely stand up. Finally, a hit actually does knock him over.
"Go, Omega X! You got him!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
Suddenly, Imperialdramon's Chibi Virus takes the opportunity to punch him right in the face. War Angemon gets a hard hit to the face and finally has had enough. He leans up, screaming, and smacks his Chibi Virus on the side of the face, sending it flying into the ground.
"Altur Kabuterimon! Lillymon! Zudomon! Omega X is completely exhausted from his fight with Virus!"
The Bio-Virus leaps back down onto the ground and goes flying right towards War Angemon.
"You guys go protect Omega X!"
The Chibi Virus goes from behind and tries to attack War Angemon, but War Angemon grabbed his arm and begins swinging him around. He throws Chibi Virus straight into Altur Kabuterimon's Chibi Virus, driving them both into the ground. He flies towards the third one.
"Lillymon! Zudomon!"
The two ultimates turn towards War Angemon and they both maneuvered to two different sides. The two Chibi Viruses gasp and their eyes go wide when they see War Angemon swinging right above the two ultimates. War Angemon does flying down and delivers two powerful kicks to the faces of the Chibi Viruses. The two monsters fall off the side of the cliff and land in a cloud of dust at the bottom.
The Chibi Virus beats up mercilessly on Omega X, punch after punch, with Omega X with no choice but to take the hits. Chibi Virus lands and pulls back his arm to deliver a powerful punch. Altur Kabuterimon grabs his arm and looks down at him. Lillymon grabs the other arm. Chibi Virus squeals in surprise and fear. They lift Chibi Virus off the ground and hit him hard in the gut at the very same time. Zudomon goes charging right at the flying Chibi Virus and delivers a punch to his face. Then Garudamon appears out of nowhere and blasts him away. And last but not least. Seadramon whips the Chibi Virus away with the end of this tail. The Chibi Virus is thrown away, landing right near the other fallen Chibi Viruses.
The first four Chibi Viruses to be taken apart by War Angemon slowly rise to their feet. They were now chuckling and looking up at their adversaries. The four ultimates and Seadramon land right in front of Omega X. They all gained auras and quickly powered up.
"Hey. Thanks guys," Omega X said.
"Thank us right after this living nightmare is over with," replied Zudomon.
"And we better keep our eyes peeled! Look out! They're back on their feet!" exclaimed Seadramon.
The five Chibi Viruses climb up onto their feet while chirping excitedly.
[Godsmack's "Going Down" plays]
Angemon X throws a powerful kick, but it gets blocked. The Chibi Virus thrusts forward and pushes Angemon X down. He manages to catch himself in midair and his aura begins to flare up. Metalla X trades punches with his Chibi Virus, while Imperialdramon struggles just to dodge the Chibi Virus that is attacking him. It then stopped and chirped at him. War Angemon suddenly appeared and smashed it away.
"TK!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
Zudomon's Chibi Virus that War Angemon threw off the cliff finally recovers and stands right up. He's not chirping but is focusing on the battle that is taking place. He looked up at the side of the cliff at the fighters from the sky above and takes off. He quickly appears right behind Imperialdramon, flying horizontally in the air, and as he flips to right himself, he kicks Imperialdramon into the ground with tremendous force. Imperialdramon smashes into the ground and bounced a few feet.
"Geez! These little guys pack quite a punch!"Davis exclaimed in Imperialdramon's thoughts.
"No! Daisuke!" exclaimed Celesta X.
Chibi Virus chirps happily as he flips down the side of the cliff, smashing straight into Imperialdramon's back. Imperialdramon grunts, his arms fly out, and his eyes bulge. Celesta X was now slowly becoming pissed off. Chibi Virus then begins to kick the unconscious Imperialdramon in the side. Imperialdramon gagged as each powerful kick is being hit.
"Damn it! Stop it! We can't afford to lose Imperialdramon! He's one of the few most powerful megas around,"Kari said to herself in Celesta X's thoughts.
Another Chibi Virus leaps forward and knees Shakkoumon in the stomach. Shakkoumon grunts and doubles over as Chibi Virus jumps behind him with a follow-up. Silphymon's Chibi Virus hits him hard in the back. He falls to the ground and his aura fades away. Dinobeemon's Chibi Virus uppercuts him and sends him flying up into the air, then the insect digimon goes flying back down and lands right on the back of his head. Leomon goes for a sword swipe but the Chibi Virus punches right through his sword and rammed his fist into the mighty champion's chest. Shakkoumon then lands nearby with a grunt, his aura also disappearing.
Celesta X looks up in shocked anger to see War Angemon taking quite a beating in the sky. Chibi Virus punches him again and again in the gut, but War Angemon can't do anything about it. His eyes bulge and he grunts each time a punch lands.
"Oh no! TK! Please! Don't die on me!"
Angemon X slams into the ground nearby, but he manages to pull himself up. Chibi Virus lands right in front of Omega X laughing like a maniac. Omega X pants, staring at it, and ready to fight.
Celesta X growls under her breathe and the back of her hair was starting to glow somewhat giving off some sort of gold aura. Virus takes notice of this and smiles.
"Oh? I see that you're getting angry. Go on… Get mad! Be angrier! And you'd better hurry, or your friends will all die. Look at the. Even Dimitri and Yamato can barely handle my Chibi Viruses and there's no energy left from your incompetent brother."
Altur Kabuterimon gets hit a couple of more times while Izzy could watch on in complete horror. Another Chibi Virus continues his assault upon Garudamon, with Sora kneeling down and growling angrily. Lillymon was also getting a fair treatment from another Chibi Virus, and this didn't suit well for Mimi as she was forced to see her digimon partner getting pummeled into oblivion. Joe was panicking when a Chibi Virus was bashes Zudomon in the back of his head with several thrust kicks. Michael wanted to stop a Chibi Virus from pummeling Seadramon, but he was soon held back or else he would have been the one receiving the punishment.
The Chibi Virus continued his assault on Imperialdramon. Angemon X and his Chibi Virus kick at each other at the very same time. Metalla X finally gets a good hit in that throws his Chibi Virus back. But Chibi Virus returns in kind.
"This is nothing but total madness! How can such a small creature give me this much trouble! Damn it!"Matt exclaimed in Metalla X's thoughts.
"You monster! Eat this!" exclaimed Shakkoumon, "Justice Beam!"
As soon as the beam comes towards the Chibi Virus, he quickly maneuvered to the side and glides right towards Shakkoumon and delivered an elbow right into Shakkoumon's middle chest area. Shakkoumon howled in pain and falls back down onto the ground. Chibi Virus runs right towards Omega X and knees him in the stomach.
Celesta X was now speechless at this very moment and can even barely move a single muscle.
"Everyone… I'm sorry… This is all my fault," Celesta X said under her breath. "Everyone is going to be killed…"
She looks right down at her hands and tears begin to fall down from her eyes.
"I wish I could use my hidden powers! My Amazing Grace! I wish that I could beat Virus myself…"
She clenched her fists and slams them down onto the ground.
"But how?! I don't know how to use it! I don't know how to bring it out of me! I'm not afraid of Virus, but I'm afraid of how this power might make me lose my humanity and control over myself… That's what I fear…"
[Rob Zombie "Scum of the Earth" plays]
War Angemon is back on the attacking end of the fight now, but his Chibi Virus easily dodges each punch or kick he throws, so it really isn't much help to him in any other way. Shakkoumon continues to get beaten up. He's thrown back, landing on the ground with a thud. Behind Chibi Virus, Silphymon finally starts to get u, but can do nothing but watch Shakkoumon as he was losing his power.
Omega X struggles to lift himself up from the ground. Imperialdramon screams as he gets blown backwards from one of Chibi Viruses attacks. He slides down and hits a nearby rock wall, with rocks now piling on top of him. Celesta X watched in unified anger. Metalla X charges his ki and stretches his arms out to each side. He screams as his ki rises. He throws his hands together, meeting them horizontally at the wrist. Chibi Virus stares right up at him.
"You can't make a fool out of us, you little bastard!"
Even with the insult being directed towards him, the Chibi Virus simply smiles.
"You will go to hell!" exclaimed Metalla X, "Ice Barrier Beam!"
Just then, an enormous blue ki beam fires and flies right towards Chibi Virus. Everyone stops and looks on in total amazement, except Virus, who remains calm for some apparent reason. Chibi Virus holds his hands out to catch the blast. He holds it in front of him as a giant ki-blast. Metalla X gasped in complete shock. Chibi Virus jumps to the other side of the ki and kicks it away with tremendous ease. Omega X sits in shock, not even able to turn and watch the huge explosion that results from the blast.
Dust and wind blow towards Mummymon's group, and they all scream frantically. Black War Greymon's lifeless body was lying on the ground. In the middle of the clearing dust, Chibi Virus chirps excitedly and pulls on Imperialdramon's head, which now appears to be unconscious. Virus watched on with a smile on his face. Chibi Virus leaps forward with a scream and punches Metalla X hard in the stomach before smashing him in the back. He drops down below the side of the cliff, where Omega X continues his futile struggle against his own Chibi Virus. Omega X gets knocked down. Metalla X raced up the side of the cliff again and delivers a strong punch to his Chibi Virus, throwing it backwards.
War Angemon jumps into the air and begins throwing a barrage of ki-blasts at his Chibi Virus, but the little mosnter easily dodges each one
Omega X lies on the ground, with his Chibi Virus on top. The monster punches Omega X's head back and forth. Another Chibi Virus holds Lillymon by her feet and smashed her into the ground. Mimi cried out angrily but was held back before the Chibi Virus would end up attacking her.
Celesta X watched on angrily and she quickly clenches her fists. She grinds her teeth together and her eyes were now fueling with a burning rage, that was slowly building up and consuming her from within. She couldn't stand seeing anymore of this pain and torture.
"Stop it!"
Another Chibi Virus kicks Silphymon at the side as if he were a piece of garbage. Celesta X's eyes widen in fear and pain. She can't even get off the ground. Shakkoumon falls to the ground, grunting as he lands with a loud thud.
"I'm begging you to stop this!"
Virus smiles right back at Celesta X and ignores her please. He was seemingly enjoying everything that he was seeing. It was all just entertainment for him, nothing more. But it was sick torture for Celesta X to witness. Virus looks over to her and chuckles.
"Just a little bit more. You're almost there. Ok! Playtime is over children! You can kill them now!"
Celesta X screamed in horror and starts to tremble with anger. She raised her fists, growls to herself and her hair started to glow.
"Here it comes! Come on! Come on, Hikari! All right, Chibi Viruses! Kill them all!"
"No! Wait!" exclaimed a voice.
Celesta X gasps and then looks right over towards Black War Greymon, who was now crawling over towards her with the last amount of energy that he has left in his body. Virus takes notice of this and growls.
"What's this?!"
"Hikari…"
"Black War Greymon!"
Celesta X watched as Black War Greymon came crawling in between her and Virus.
"Black War Greymon? What are you doing?"
"Hikari… Hikari Kamiya… Child of light…"
Celesta X gasped and looked right over towards him with her beautiful blue eyes. The dark mega coughs and looks towards her.
"Let the pain… Go… Let it go… It's not a bad thing to fight for justice… Please, stop begging him… He won't listen to you… He has no conscience… Follow your own instincts, Hikari… You don't have to suppress you're feelings anymore."
Celesta X brushed her long, blonde hair away from her face and nods to everything that Black War Greymon is telling her. Now she finally understood. She has no problem killing any digimon that decides to threaten her friends or herself, but she's scared to even fight Virus since she doesn't know how to unleash her hidden Amazing Grace powers.
Virus takes notice of this and grins.
"Eww. What a touching little speech. It's so good to know that you're alive, Black War Greymon. But I have business to take care of," Virus said.
Black War Greymon chuckles to himself and places his hand over Celesta X's and sheds a tear over his eye. This was the first time that an artificial actually let out any kind of an emotion. Celesta X shared the same tear and nods to herself.
"Hikari… Save the two worlds… Save this world and save your own, save the nature that I love… Now I realize what its… like to… have a heart…"
Virus walks over calmly and then blasts through Black War Greymon's holed chest and watched as more black liquid came spewing out, as if his heart was destroyed at that very last minute. It looked as though Black War Greymon had already developed that heart but it was quickly taken away by the heartless artificial. Celesta X sits there with a shocked look on her face. Black War Greymon lets out one last breath and then quickly explodes into fragments of data. Celesta X watched as the data floated past her and towards the skies. Celesta X stared at them in stunned silence.
"Ha. Yet another soul, that you could have saved, Hikari."
[SSJ2 Gohan's Japanese theme "The Spirit vs. The Spirit" plays]
Celesta X sits there and sees visions of herself playing with many innocent baby digimon and taking care of them. She then visions her friends hanging out with her and visions her own future as a mother and a schoolteacher. Then she visions nature itself.
"Black War Greymon loved life, even though he was an artificial. He just realized what it was like to have a heart, but now it was taken away. It was stolen from him by this monster… I must protect everybody and nature. I must protect the two worlds… TK… Tai… Wizardmon… and now Black War Greymon… I can't stand seeing this pain anymore…"
Suddenly, a bright flash of light rushes past her and her body starts to glow with a bright, pink aura. Virus turns around and takes notice of this.
"Hmm?!"
Celesta X sits up and then she screams out angrily as the pink aura of light started to consume her. She felt his ki level increasing tremendously. Now there was dust and debris floating up all around her, but the dust is all pushed back in a circle all around her. The pink aura of light quickly faded away and then there stood a new figure within the bright, pink light.
Virus watched, wide-eyed. The fight that was taking place has now completely stopped. All eyes are now on Celesta X. Omega X looks up smiling. War Angemon's Chibi Virus goes wide-eyed.
"Kari!" exclaimed War Angemon.

Now standing in the pink light was a new warrior, and much different from Celesta X. In fact it was Celesta X, but in her new Amazing Grace form. Her eyes were now blue as the heavens, her long blonde-hair was now flowing out from the wind blowing around her, her boots were now covered by the symbols of the crest of light. Now there was a pink vest with moon-crest symbols on each side. There was a long, staff in her right hand. She now has red-gloves. There were now four-wings on her back that spread-out, much like an angel. She was now a living, breathing guardian angel sent to protect both worlds. The pink transformed into a more gold color.
Virus stared right over towards her. Celesta X twirls her staff around and throws it to her left hand. She gets into a fighting stance and stares right over towards Virus with her blue eyes locked onto his own.
Kari has finally done it! After everything that she has endured! Now the sleeper has awakened! She has not achieved the Amazing Grace power! And it all comes down to this historic showdown! From the fights with Myotismon, the Invaders, the Demon Corps, the Digimon Kaiser and even Burizalor! Can Celesta X finally show what she's really made of?!

Omega X: Hey, it's me Tai! See, what did I tell you guys? She had the power within her!
War Angemon: This is unbelievable.
Virus: My Chibi Viruses! Attack her and show no mercy!
Chibi Viruses: Yes, sir!
Angemon X: No way! She's taking them apart one by one!
Metalla X: Not only has her strength increased, but so has her speed. Something I lacked…
Omega X: Now you're going to pay, Virus. You're going to pay for all you're crimes.
Virus: So, you really think you can put a dent on my perfect body, Hikari? I advise you not to take you're eye off the game. You're making the same mistake that Dimitri made.
Celesta X: Is that so? Why don't you try me?
Sora: No way! She's evenly fought with him!
Omega X: Not so fast. Just watch closely.
Virus: No! How could you do this?! Two punches staggers me?!

SSJ4T: Hey, guys! Well, it's the moment you've been waiting for. Actually, this one of the greatest moments in the series. Kari takes front stage and takes over after her brother. If you're a big Kari like myself, then you're going to enjoy these next chapters.
Max: Now you'll see why Takato looks up to Kari during the Tamers Saga.
SSJ4T: Oh and I suggest you download 'The Spirit vs. The Spirit' theme. It's really an awesome theme, especially during Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 transformation. You'll see why I chose it for Celesta X's ascension. I got the idea of Celesta X's Amazing Grace appearance from bits and pieces of Sailor Moon.
Coral: I can tell that she's sort of Sailor Moon-based.
SSJ4T: Yeah and a little bit of a goddess. Until then, be sure to read the premiere of the newly rewritten final D-Reaper chapters. We're out of time! Peace!

Chapter Text
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. The storyline of Dragonball Z is not a property of mine. It belongs to Akira Toriyama. However, the characters Virus, Jax, Sonja and Burizalor are mine. Lady Myotismon, Iceladydevimon, Elfmon and Funkymon are characters made by Dark Warrior. I also don't own the characters and ideas known as X, Keke, and Max, because Max Acorn created them and I got his permission to use them.
SSJ4T: I've got nothing much to say here but to check this fic out. Kari takes her power to the next level and you'll see why. Before I go there, I want to reply to a review made by Lady Enraged. No, I'm not a commentator during the battle. As you should know, it's the Gazimons that are commentating and they're apart of the story. How is that inconsistent? It is not me doing the commentating. Besides, it doesn't seem my readers are lost and confused. You must mean my pre- and post-comments after each story. Yes, that's where I make comments but I separate that from the story itself. You probably got lost since first reading it. Anyway, with that hopefully cleared up, let's move on with the fic. Enjoy!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Celesta X's Unleashing! Amazing Grace Staggers Virus With Two Punches!
Outside of Tokyo, Japan. War Games Venue
There was a huge power increase taking place amongst the whole group and it wasn't Virus this time around, nor was it Omega X. But rather, it was now coming from Celesta X. She finally was unleashing her anger after years of hiding and allowed her Amazing Grace to come forth.
Celesta X stood powering up as the ground shook around her and rocks were slowly starting to rise above the ground. She screams as her ki was quickly starting to increase into new heights of power. The ground underneath her feet begins to give way. Small rocks slowly rise to the air. Virus smiles as he watches on, not worrying about what was now going to happen next.
"What?! What the hell is going on?!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"It's… It's… incredible!" shouted Angemon X.
"Her ki is increasing! Kari did it! She finally did it," War Angemon managed to mutter out. "Way to go, Kari."
Imperialdramon struggled to look down at Celesta X and a shocked expression came across his face.
"Wow?! Is that Kari?! Kari!"
The other digimon show no reaction, leading to believe that they were just as shocked or unconscious after being beaten down by the Bio-Viruses. Omega X looks up with a smile on his face.
"That's it, Kari. You're doing it. You finally are able to achieve the Amazing Grace, just like I promised."
Virus laughs at what he was looking at and that was Celesta X's ever-growing ki power. He wasn't shocked nor was he pleased.
"So, is that it?"
Celesta X remained silent as she continued to concentrate on the power that was flowing through her and making her stronger along the way.
"You're just like Dimitri! You can't beat me by simply increasing your power."
[Cell Junior's English theme plays]
The Chibi Viruses all turn their attention back to the digimon and went back to work by pulverizing them. A Chibi Virus smiles and punches Angemon X hard in the side of the face. Zudomon gets thrown back into the side of the cliff. Altur Kabuterimon gets beaten up and then thrown down onto the ground. Another Chibi Virus lands, Metalla X lands right behind him. He hits Metalla X back, then grabs Metalla X by his hand and begins to spin him around. He threw Metalla X away.
Mummymon and Bill continue the watch on the battle. They were just as terrified as ever at these turn of events and had no idea of what was soon about to happen to them if they were not to leave as they were told to do so earlier ago.
Chibi Virus picked Omega X up by his neck, while Omega X merely chuckled. He dropped Omega X off the side of the cliff, and then hits him into the cliff. Omega X bounced off the side.
"Stop it!" exclaimed Celesta X.
Lighting starts to crackle in her aura just a bit. Celesta X was feeling a surge of power entering her as she continued to watch on the punishment being inflicted on her friends and brother. Virus looks back at her, with his eyes starting to widen.
"I SAID- STOP IT!"
Another Chibi Virus flies forward and punches Silphymon right in the face. Two Chibi Viruses land behind War Angemon and Leomon. They then catch the two warriors off guard.
"DAMN IT! I SAID, STOP IT!"
Virus smiled, but then his eyes widen. The ground breaks up under Celesta X's feet. Virus gasps and takes notice of her ever increasing power.
"I see now. This is it!"
Celesta X glares right over at her adversary with hateful eyes. It now looked as though her heavenly blue eyes were changing into a more golden, translucent color. She growled under her breath and grinds her teeth together in sheer anger. Her hair starts to flow along the strong winds and glow the same golden color that were sparkling in her eyes. Her body starts to slowly transform. Several armor parts were forming on her chest and legs. Gloves formed in her hands. She screams, and Virus takes a step back away. The ground cracks under her.
"She's doing it! Yes, it is time!"
Dust and rocks are thrown all about by just the single force of Celesta X's hidden power. Omega X chuckled. Mummymon and the reporter both watch on in amazement. A golden shockwave travels out from Celesta X.
"They're like true monsters!" exclaimed Mummymon, "They're not digimon! They're mutants!"
Just then, another shockwave hits them, which easily threw them all backwards.

Suddenly, just about every television set across the digital world and earth itself were quickly shut off and immediately lost transmission from the live coverage of the War Games battle. The crowd all over both worlds could only look on confused and frightened. Others started riots after becoming impatient with their satellite transmissions going on the fritz.

Even the Kamiya residence lost transmission of the War Games, which quickly causes Mrs. Kamiya to panic. She gasps, screams and faints. Mr. Kamiya was there to catch her just in time.
"Honey!"
"Oh, my baby girl… If only I knew how my children are doing. This nightmare better end soon…"
"C'mon, kids. You have to pull through for you're mother and I. It's all on you're shoulders," Mr. Kamiya thought.

"Aw, nuts! Now I won't know what happens next!"
The boy was bummed out over the fact that he was unable to watch the remainder of the battle. It had just gotten to the best part. However, his television started to regain picture and the boy turned to see a celestial warrior standing in the center of the battlefield. The boy's eyes glistened with joy.
"Yes! It's back, but how?"
Unfortunately, the boy started to ponder and watched the showdown. Somehow, Takato had become one of the lucky few to witness the remainder of the fight.
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Domain
"So, it has come to pass. Hasn't it, X? Kari has harnessed the power of Amazing Grace?" Gennai asked.
"Yes. Legend has it that the one who harnesses the power of the legendary fusion warrior first will have a sibling that harnesses the Amazing Grace power. In a way, Kari has inherited a hidden power just like her brother before her. It's mind boggling, yet it does not surprise me."
"What makes you say that?" Azulongmon pondered.
"Simple. It's a secret that must never be revealed," X replied while fixing his facemask. "Only I know the truth."
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Back on the battle site of the War Games, the dust begins to clear away. Virus stares right over towards his opponent. Celesta X's shadow can be seen through the dust cloud. Lighting cracks inside all over her body. Mummymon's gang all begin to recover to look at what was taking place. They all watch in fear and astonishment. Metalla X looks up gasping. Angemon X watches the cloud rising. War Angemon turns around, wide-eyed. Omega X simply just grins at what he was looking at. The cloud finally separates. The newly-transformed Celesta X, in her 'Amazing Grace' form, stands in its place. Her hair was now blowing along with the strong winds that surrounded her. She held onto her staff tightly and slowly places it onto the ground. She sports a strong, pink aura with cracks of lighting running right through it.
[Evanescence "Going Under" plays]
"As the true guardian of light, I will not allow you to go unpunished for this, demon," Celesta X said with a more mature feminine tone to it.
There were now no signs of her normal child-like voice. Even the faint voice of Gatomon was no more. It was as though she were a completely different person, but remained the same individual in the inside.
She walks forward to Virus. Now even Virus is scared of Celesta X's new power and new form. He watches in wide-eyed amazement. Celesta X stops, staring right up at him with her staff in one hand.
Virus stares at her in shock for a few seconds, and then finally regains composure of himself. His gaping mouth now turns into that of a smile.
"Finally, you've managed to unveil your real power, Hikari. Now its time for the games to be a lot more interesting."
Celesta X looks right down over towards Virus' hand and quickly slaps it away with her staff. This easily catches Virus off guard. Her staff was faster than Virus can even see at what he's doing. Celesta X smiles and holds her staff in place.
"Huh?!"
He looks down at his hand and noticed a large cut formed on it, as a result of being swiped by the staff. He looked over at the staff's end and it had a small blade on it and a trail of green ooze dripping at its tip.
"Impossible! You cut me! Damn you!"
Virus goes and leaps forward at Celesta X, but she quickly phases out twice as fast than the speed of light. Celesta X suddenly appears right in front of a Chibi Virus, who was previously attacking Angemon X. The Chibi Virus smiles at her, but Celesta X glared right over at it. The little monster leaped forward and Celesta X dodged it, and then stuck her arm out to hit it in the neck. She easily decapitates the Chibi Virus and the head explodes into a cloud of green dust. The monster's body falls to the ground and explodes. Another Chibi Virus comes flying out of nowhere but Celesta X saw it coming and drives her staff right through its chest, causing the little creature to explode.
Virus watched, with a wide-eyed expression. He gasped at what he had just witnessed.
"I can't believe this! After everything we attempted to do to beating these things, and she destroyed two with just two simple hits!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"Hikari! You're amazing!" shouted Angemon X.
"I'll say. What an upgrade!" replied Garudamon.
Omega X simply chuckled to himself. He knew that his sister would pull through after all. All she needed was something to push her final button.
"You did it, Kari. See, I told you a little faith would help."
War Angemon sits up, while pushing away the rubble on top of him. He stared in wide-eyed belief at what his good friend just did.
"Hi…Kari? Is that the child of light I see?"
Celesta X looks right down to see the fallen bodies of Imperialdramon and Lillymon. Two Chibi Viruses were standing over them. She disappeared and reappeared right beside the two fallen warriors. She glared over at them. Virus spins around to spot Celesta X in her new location.
["Going Under" ends]
"Impossible!"
"Her speed! It has increased!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"I can't believe her speed. She's as fast as Virus, maybe even a little faster," said Leomon.
[Final Fantasy VII "Jenova Battle" theme plays]
Two more Chibi Viruses fly down to help their other two comrades out. All four little monsters chirp angrily over at Celesta X. Two of them pick up Imperialdramon by his head and smile. Celesta X walks right over towards them. The two Chibi Viruses holds up their claws to Imperialdramon's throat. Celesta X doesn't stop her advance, and the monster's claws extend. She then stops, and the monsters lower Imperialdramon just a bit. They both look up at her, while she extends her arm out to blast them. Electricity runs down her arm.
The Chibi Viruses stared at Celesta X wide-eyed, then narrow their eyes angrily and resumed their threatening of Imperialdramon's life. The mega began to speak under his breath.
"Kari… Don't worry about Lillymon and myself… just kill these things."
Celesta X glares at the monsters. Lighting jumps about across her face. One of the two Chibi Viruses back away, wide-eyed and open-mouthed. They both leap up into the air and try to escape. The other two hold their claws closer to Imperialdramon's neck.
"Do it, Kari!" Lillymon exclaimed.
Suddenly, lightning crackles over Celesta X's hand. A ki-blast begins to form. The two Chibi Viruses stare at him, shocked. They realize at what she was going to do next. Drops of sweat runs down their faces. Celesta X stares through her spread fingers over towards the two digimon and the two Chibi Viruses. She lowers her hand a bit, and the two Chibi Viruses throw Imperialdramon forward. They leap into the air, in order to blast them away. Lillymon screams as the blast hits and explodes. The Chibi Viruses chirp happily.
Virus watches the Chibi Viruses, and then looks up right above him. The Chibi Viruses all gasped and turned around. Hovering above and behind them is none other than Celesta X, with both Imperialdramon and Lillymon under her arms. She vanished and reappeared down on the ground. She lays the two down near War Angemon and phases right out. She reappeared behind the Chibi Viruses above the edge of the crater. The two tiny monsters turn around, and Celesta X immediately meets them with a swift kick. The two monsters explode. Celesta X stares at the Chibi Viruses' remaining dust cloud with intensity. Metalla X and Angemon X watch in open-mouth awe.
"I don't believe this!" exclaimed Shakkoumon.
"This can't be true…" muttered Dinobeemon.
Omega X simply chuckled with his sister's actions, which wasn't all too surprising to him. Virus watched Celesta X from below with wide-eyed anger. Celesta X shifts her gaze downward.
Celesta X lowers herself down onto the ground. Virus glares over to her with an angry look on his face.
"I see. So this is the power of her anger. Very well then. Let me be your audience for a while."
He looks over at four Chibi Viruses. They all smile and fly towards Celesta X. All four stop beside her. Four more join in from another side. The eight all come in from different sides. Pink ki explodes outward, and very little is seen in the resulting dust cloud. Parts of Celesta X are visible, and the Chibi Viruses are seen flying around him periodically. Much like vultures ready to feast on a dead carcass. Four of them fly at Celesta X inside the cloud. She screams and leaps forward, throwing them at opposite sides. She kicks two and they explode. The other Chibi Viruses back away slightly
"That woman is far above everyone else. She's gone beyond the level I've been trying so hard to achieve for all these years. This can't be happening… This can't be true!" exclaimed Mummymon.
"Well believe it, bandage boy. It's going to be a woman that saves the two worlds and I for one, am happy about that,"Arukenimon says to herself.
Bill hangs upside down from a tree with a frightened look on his face.
"She... She may win, ladies and gentlemen! What an incredible turn of events! That woman is fighting against the small creatures and winning. Hey Ted, don't miss this!"
"Um. The camera isn't working anymore."
"What?! This is the damn story of the century! Do something! Fix it, you dumb ass!"
["Jenova Battle" theme ends]
The six remaining Chibi Viruses watch Celesta X angrily. They all leap forward. Celesta X tosses her staff into the air and stops each of their attacks. They each fall to the ground. The staff dropped back to the waiting hand of Celesta X. The Chibi Viruses sit up and look back at Celesta X. She throws her hands up and screams. A pink ki expands out from her, but then it changes into a more golden color. The light penetrates the clouds in the sky and casts a glow on the surrounding area. The Chibi Viruses are thrown away from Celesta X into rock ledges. The light fades away, the dust settles. Celesta X lowers her arms and a grin formed across her beautiful face.
"She's taking apart those Chibi Viruses as if they were nothing more than trash!" exclaimed Mimi.
"And she hasn't weakened. After using so much energy, she isn't even tired," said Angemon X.
War Angemon landed beside Omega X and helped him up onto his feet.
"Are you alright, Tai?"
"So, what do you think, TK? I told you that she could do it."
He chuckles to himself and looks over towards Celesta X with a smile on his face. War Angemon narrowed his eyes, then looks back at the battle.
"Kari…"
The Chibi Viruses climb out from under the rocks and debris that had piled onto them. Two of the Chibi Viruses leaps into the air. One throws a Flower Cannon and the other uses a Wing Blade. Celesta X quickly jumps into the air and avoids these two attacks, and the other four Chibi Viruses appear on either side of him. They fly past him, higher into the air. One throws a Terra Force and the other uses a Fist of the Beast King. Both blasts hit Celesta X. The last two Chibi Viruses move and go again. One shoots out a Positron Laser and the other uses Static Force.
Omega X and War Angemon watch on from the side of the cliff, while Virus watches from the ground below. The six Chibi Viruses stare down to see what has resulted from their efforts. When they find out that Celesta X was perfectly fine, they gasp in horror.
[SSJ Gohan's English dub theme plays]
Celesta X glares up at them through narrow eyes. She throws up her arms, screams and raises his ki level. A golden ki explodes from out of her body. Four Chibi Viruses are caught by the ki. Celesta X appears behind the other.
"I told you once and I'll say it again. I won't allow going unpunished for this! You're judgment day has come at hand!"
She punches two Chibi Viruses in their midsections, and they separate each into two pieces, which both explode simultaneously. She then reappeared behind the other two Chibi Viruses. They both spin around and Celesta X delivers a devastating kick. Her foot hits the ground and pulls straight through it, still kicking the two Chibi Viruses each into two separate pieces. They all explode.
Four more Chibi Viruses try to fly away, but Celesta X suddenly appears in their path. She kicks through two, spins around. She then flies to the other two and punches them each in them face. Their heads separate from their body and both parts explode. Celesta X looks down at the final two Chibi Viruses, standing by the crater. They scream and leap away, trying to escape. Celesta X vanished and reappeared behind them, then speeds ahead of them and elbows them. The two Chibi Viruses fly right through two nearby mountains and into the crater. As they drop into the crater, Celesta X meets them in midair and punches them. They both explode. An arm lies on the ground beside Celesta X's feet. She stomps on it, destroying it once and for all. When the small cloud of dust settles, nothing remains of the Chibi Virus.
[SSJ Gohan's English theme ends]
Virus stared right over towards Celesta X and was seething like never before. He was now pissed off beyond belief.
"Argh! What at what you have done, Hikari!"
"She's no longer hesitating," said War Angemon, "That's so unlike Kari. Her anger is overriding her reasoning. It's true. She's the strongest fighter and Virus has made the most fatal mistake. So much for being the perfect being."
"Now, Virus. You idiot. You're going to have to live up to your crimes once my sister gets her hands on you. There's no way out but down," Omega X said.
Metalla X watched in amazement at what he was seeing. Now Tai's own sister was stronger than he was at this very moment. Metalla X was furious at the fact that Kari is stronger than him now.
"Dimitri! Take my staff. It shall give you the power to heal each and everyone of you," said Celesta X as she tosses her staff right over to Angemon X, without even looking.
He quickly caught it and looks right over towards Celesta X.
"Um, yeah. Sure, I won't let you down, Kari!"
Virus quickly uncrossed his arms with his eyes widening. He cries out in extreme anger. Celesta X slowly ascends from inside the crater. Lightning crackles over her aura. She stares at Virus with hatred-filled eyes. She lands in front of Virus, and the monster prepares to fight her. Metalla X and Angemon X both watch on in amazement. Mummymon's group looks on in fear and astonishment. The digimon and the other fusion warriors recover from their battle with the Chibi Viruses. They finally are trying to pull themselves up. Omega X leaned up on War Angemon as the two stare out onto the battlefield.
Virus stared at Celesta X angrily, but she stares hatefully right back. The showdown was now set and the fate of the two worlds were at stake. The winner will decide those worlds' fates.

Odaiba. Kamiya Residence
The Kamiya parents were still unable to view the War Games. Mrs. Kamiya was snapping out her trance and looks up at the ceiling as if she were a mindless zombie.
"Oh honey. Now it's driving her crazy! Hell, I'm going fucking mad! Why does the satellite have to cut us off at a moment like this! We deserve to know how our children are doing!"
"Hikari… Taichi… Children…"
"Not to mention the fact that I'll have to place her in an asylum if our children don't make it out alive. Beat that monster! Like we've always said, a Kamiya…"

X lifted his head up and hears out a call that sounds very so familiar. He had heard the pleading voices of Tai's parents. He finishes to what Mr. Kamiya was going to say.
"…never quits."
"Who are you talking to, X?" Gennai pondered.
"Nobody."
"You should have seen what Kari did! Those Chibi Viruses are out of the game! It's down to Virus and herself. Business is beginning to pick up!"
"Yes, Azulongmon. Virus is in for the fight of this short life," X stated promptly. "I predict that Kari already has this battle won."
The two were baffled by the masked man's sudden announcement. Gennai wasn't so sure if he could believe X. Maybe X was simply being overconfident over Kari's newfound abilities. Though, he cannot judge until what transpires on the battlefield.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
After defeating fourteen of the Chibi Viruses, Celesta X now has her eyes set on the one who created all of this chaos in the first place. She would now make Virus pay for every crime that he has committed ever since arriving in this time period.
[Metallica "The Unforgiven" plays]
Celesta X and Virus stare right over towards each other with the wind blowing among them. Virus sports quite an enraged expression. The wind blows up a little dust. Celesta X watches Virus, also more than a little angry. Lightning still runs through Celesta X's aura. The two look back at each other in silence. The wind picks up more dust intermittently.
Angemon X landed next to the downed Imperialdramon. He lowers towards him and holds out the staff in his hand.
"Davis? Davis?"
Imperialdramon was unable to respond and looked just about out of it.
"Good. He's still alive, otherwise, he would have been deleted much like Black War Greymon."
Angemon X holds out the staff and points it over Imperialdramon's fallen body. He watches a electric golden energy wave shoot right through the tip and it enters Imperialdramon. Imperialdramon felt his energy supply refueled and his mobility brought back to him. Imperialdramon sits up and shakes himself out of his unconscious state. Angemon X jumps right over towards Shakkoumon and Silphymon. He does the same thing to them as he just previously did to Imperialdramon. The same electric energy wave entered their bodies and revived them. Imperialdramon is able to lift himself off from the ground and looks around. He sees Angemon X standing next to the two ultimates.
"Dimitri, how is Kari doing?" asked Imperialdramon.
"She's just incredible! I've never seen her like this before!"
Imperialdramon looks back towards the battle and his eye widen in disbelief. Standing a few feet away, Celesta X still simply watches Virus. The giant dragon mega gasps at what he was seeing.
Silphymon rises to his feet and rubs the back of his neck.
"Is that Kari?!"
"Amazing! What has just happened to her?" asked Shakkoumon.
"Maybe that's what Tai was talking about," Silphymon said.
"It sure looks like it and I, for one, believe it," replied Imperialdramon.
Angemon X looks from Imperialdramon towards Shakkoumon. He speaks up to give them instructions.
"Now, everyone, please leave this place quickly. I'm going to heal Omega X with this staff that Kari gave to me. Then I'm going to heal War Angemon."
They still simply stare right over towards Celesta X in complete awe and disbelief. They have never felt this much power from one individual.
"Hurry! We don't have much time!" exclaimed Angemon X.
Silphymon nods and flies up into the air to get away from his spot. Shakkoumon soon follows right after him. Finally, without taking his eyes off the battlefield, Imperialdramon joins them. Angemon X watches Celesta X quietly and then leaves in pursuit.
["The Unforgiven" ends]
Back on the battlefield, Virus looked right over towards Celesta and he smiles.
"Come on, Hikari!"
[Godsmack's "Awake" plays]
Celesta X quickly reacted and hunched right over, glaring over towards Virus. Virus smiled at her. Suddenly, Celesta X leaped right forward.
"That's it! You're mine!"
Virus' attempts to dodge Celesta X's attack, but no attack come forth. Virus looks up from above and sees Celesta X staring right down from high in the air. Virus stares angrily at him, then flies up to join him. Celesta X kicks, and Virus quickly phases right out. Celesta X turns around to look behind herself in order to find Virus.
Omega X rises to his feet after being healed by Celesta X's staff, which Angemon X was holding in his possession. He looks back up at the battle. Angemon X's, and then War Angemon's, eyes follow up. Virus screams. Celesta X flies backward at what appears to be a pretty leisurely pace. Virus attacks, and Celesta X easily dodges each punch. Virus glares at her.
"I'll get you!"
He throws a kick, but Celesta X easily blocks it with an elbow thrust. Celesta X begins her attack, while Virus was able to dodge each punch. They both throw a punch at the same time, and end up hitting each other's fists. They both begin to attack each other, rather than one attacking and the other defending. Several more times, they punch each other's fists. Metalla X watches in absolute shock, as if he were appalled at what he was looking at.
"Th… They're evenly matched!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"Now I understand," said War Angemon, "I was wrong for saying that stuff to you Tai."
"That's why you wanted to battle Virus first, right?" asked Angemon X.
Omega X simply stands smiling and looking right down at the battle between Celesta X and Virus with great determination.
"You wanted to demonstrate how Virus fought, right Tai?" War Angemon asked.
Omega X nodded his head and looks back towards the battle with a grin on his face.
Celesta X flipped backwards. Virus screams and holds out his hand. He throws a ki-blast, and Celesta X easily bats it away. Virus flies in and throws a punch in, but Celesta X dodges it and flies back towards the ground. Virus follows. Celesta X stops just a few feet above the ground. Virus jumps right in on top of her, but Celesta X disappears out of thin air.
["Awake" ends]
Mummymon's crew is stunned and frightened at what they were seeing. Skull Mammothmon was the first to speak his mind.
"Oh my god! This is intense!"
Bill keeps everyone up to date, even though the camera is broken and his microphone is gone.
"Everyone! Our camera is broken, but I hope you still can hear my voice. Right in front of me, a fight between Virus and a angel warrior woman who was previously taking a beating is now taking place."
Arukenimon sits on her hands and knees to the ground, but she stands up and starts cheering for Celesta X. She did this in order to show her full support of the female gender.
"What a professional!" exclaimed Bill, "I am not going to leave here, everyone, for as long as the fight continues!"
"Excuse me, dude. Your mike is gone," said Ted.
Bill looked over his hand and then looks around his area. Then he sighed and lowered his head in shame.
"Oh. Uh oh. I have been silenced for good."
But he continued to search long and hard for his microphone, in order, to keep up to date with the fight that was taking place right before his very own eyes.

New York City, New York
The massive TV right in the center of Times Square in New York City was now just a blue screen with the words "Please stand by for a brief moment" displayed in white lettering. The crowd murmurs nervously, unsure of what has happened at the War Games. A middle-aged man speaks up among the crowd.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Its obvious! Mummymon couldn't beat Virus!" exclaimed another young man.
"Does that mean that those digimon have been defeated?" asked a woman.
"Like oh my gosh, is this the end of the world?!" a teenage girl cries out.
"No! It's the birth of a new era! Of course its the end of the world, you bimbo!" exclaimed another young man, "But also the end of that other world too."
"No way. We're all going to die," said another middle-aged man.
Everyone gazed up at the large screen in front of them with terrified looks on their faces. Not only did they fear for the destruction of the digital world, but also that of their own world. Now if they only knew what was really taking place at this very moment.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Virus and Celesta X stare right at each other. Both watch each other angrily, but the difference is that Virus suddenly looks a little insecure. Below them, Boltmon and Arukenimon scurry away. Boltmon stops and looks back at them.
"Hey Skull Mammotmon! Why are you still there?! Come on or you'll end up getting killed!"
Skull Mammothmon lies on the ground, clutching at some rocks around him, and trembling in fear.
"I… I can't move…"
Mummymon peered over the small hill and looks right over towards his comrades with an impatient look on his face.
"Why are those idiots still down there? No one but us professional fighters has any business being here in the first place!"
Celesta X and Virus fly straight at each other. Their fists meet in the sky, sending out a small shockwave. They bounce about in the sky, creating a new shockwave each time they meet. Boltmon screams and dives into the ground, where Skull Mammothmon and Arukenimon already reside. Skull Mammothmon covers his head, whimpering to himself. Arukenimon sits in pretty much the same boat as Skull Mammothmon, whimpering and covering her head with her hands. A small piece of the ground right in front of her breaks up and hovers into the air.
Celesta X flees back with Virus following her in hot pursuit. Celesta X lands right in front of Skull Mammothmon. Skull Mammothmon gapes at her, with his eyes widening. Virus screams and pulls back his fist. Skull Mammothmon screams and shuts his eyes tightly. Virus throws a punch, carrying a ball of ki with it. His hand smashes straight through the ground, creating a small crater. Small rocks rain down into the crater. Virus withdraws his hand from its hole in the ground.
Skull Mammothmon falls to the ground. Virus looks up at Celesta X, standing between Skull Mammothmon and Boltmon on a small, raised platform of rock. Celesta X stares at him and Virus glares angrily back.
"How did she get up there?!"
Bill the Gazimon reporter looked back towards Celesta X in complete shock.
"Hmm? Mm? Ah!"
Bill looks up to see none other than Celesta X herself.
"Im… Impossible," muttered Virus.
Celesta X lifts off and lands back down in front of Virus. Virus watches in frustration and fury fueling in his eyes. Celesta X looks back at him with an angry, confident expression. Lightning cracks around her, despite the current lack of an aura surrounding her body. The Digi-Destined and the digimon all look down at the battle with awed expressions on their faces.
"Good work, Kari!" commented Omega X.
"This is all you're doing, Tai. Isn't it? Kari is reading each of Virus' moves well in advance," replied Leomon.
"It's not just that," said Omega X, "My sister now is above Virus in every aspect possible. Believe me."
"What do you mean?" asked War Angemon.
"She'll win. Will she?" Imperialdramon asked.
Shakkoumon nods in agreement while keeping his focus on the battle taking place at this very moment. Silphymon watches the battle silently but also seriously.
"Can she actually defeat Virus?" asked Sora.
Metalla X clutched his shoulder due to the fact that it was hurting since the fight with the Chibi Viruses and they pretty much beat the stuffing out of his arms and were able to immobilize it.
"Damn! Now there's yet another individual stronger than us,"Matt said to himself in Metalla X's thoughts. "I mean besides Tai of course."
"Um, father," a voice said from behind.
Metalla X turns to see Angemon X holding out Celesta X's staff in his hand. He places it over his young father and plans on healing him right now to get it over and done with.
"Hold still, young father. This staff wil help heal your injuries and make you regain your strength," said Angemon X.
Metalla X stares at the staff for a few seconds and then growls angrily to himself at the staff, in hopes that his own son won't heal him. But he had no choice, or else he would just have to suffer through the pain himself.
"Ugh! Do I really have to depend on such a stupid staff?! I don't need to heal now! But I'll accept it, if it means to regain my strength," said Metalla X. "Damn it…"
The staff shoots out a electric current and it flows right through Metalla X's body. His body was slowly recovering and getting back the strength that it needs to regain most of his power.
[Disturbed's "Fear" plays]
Virus screamed, pulling back his fist. He throws a strong punch, but Celesta X easily dodges it. Celesta X kicks, but Virus quickly disappears. Celesta X looks back up at the sky to see Virus. He flies towards Virus, but Virus pulls back his fist. As soon as Celesta X arrives, Virus shouts and begins his attack. With quick ease, Celesta X was able to dodge each punch being thrown at him.
"This can't be! I can't even touch her!"
They descend diagonally as they continue on their fight towards the skies and were now thinking of new strategies to combat each other.
"All I need is one freakin' punch!"
Celesta X stares right up at him. Virus screams and punches, but only hits a small mountain. The dust settles. He looks around for Celesta X. He finally finds her hovering in the sky behind him, a good distance away. Celesta X glares down at him.
Virus turns around, watching Celesta X in anger. He suddenly looks down with widened eyes. The view changes, and there standing right in front of Virus was none other than Celesta X. She was able to use super speed to appear from the sky above and down below the ground within a matter of milliseconds.
"No! It's you!"
Virus glares right over towards her with hatred and fury, growling underneath his breathes. His skin begins to lighten up and a bright light radiates from his body. The mountain behind him explodes suddenly. Rocks rain down around the area. But as soon as the dust clears away, Celesta X was still standing completely unharmed.
Celesta X quickly backs away and lands onto the ground. She stares right up towards Virus, as the evil artificial looks down at her with eyes full of anger and hatred.
"Damn it! Quit mocking me, child!"
Virus lands right in front of her and growls under his breathe. Now he was no longer being his cool and confident self, but rather was loosing his patience and sanity at the same time.
["Fear" ends]
"Don't be so overconfident now, Hikari. You don't really think that you can defeat me, do you? You naive child."
Virus simply smiles and regains his cool composure. Celesta X remains completely serious the whole time. She then begins to speak.
"Oh. I know I can."
Virus's eyes widen in shock and he quickly gasps at her little comment. But then his eyes quickly narrow once more and his smile returns.
"All right, kid. Then I'll let you see the full depth of my real power!"
"What?! Is that possible?!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"No way! You mean that he hasn't reached to his full potential power?" asked Silphymon.
"No. No way… Not possible…" muttered Dinobeemon.
"He's just saying that to scare Kari! He's bluffing!" exclaimed Angemon X.
Omega X and War Angemon both stare out silently, and intently, over towards the two fighters.
Suddenly, Virus begins to scream and raise his ki level to whole new heights. An aura encircles him, and then a small shockwave travels out away, and a massive golden aura enveloped him. Metalla X and Angemon X gasp at this turn of events. Mummymon watches on from a small hill. He quickly gets blown backwards by Virus' shockwaves. Virus' shouting continues, while rocks and debris start floating up into the air. Dust swirls around the area.
"What?! It's a trick!" exclaimed Mummymon, "This has to be some kind of magic trick! Special effects! It's nothing but a movie!"
"I can't believe you're still saying that, moron!" Arukenimon exclaimed.
The ground shakes all around them. The rising of Virus' ki begins to generate strong winds. Dust and debris fly straight out in a circle away from Virus.
"He's getting stronger! I can feel it,"Kari said in Celesta X's thoughts. "I better not let my guard down here."
"I don't understand how, but he's increasing his power. That monster!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"No! Kari! Look out!" shouted War Angemon, "Please, don't underestimate him!"
"This… This can't be true… His power is tremendously high! Not even the Earth is able to withstand this much power!" cried out Lillymon. "I bet even the Digital World will feel this affect!"
"What?! You mean we are all going to die?!" asked Mimi.
"No! At least, I hope not."
"This is not the time to say stuff like that!" cried out Joe.
"Well, it looks as though our planet's atmosphere is unable to withstand this much pressure from a single entity. The earth may very well be destroyed if Virus keeps up at this very rate!" exclaimed Izzy. "Then, he'll simply move to the Digital World and begin a war path!"
The children were now starting to worry as the ground was shaking and cracks were forming all over the place. Now places were becoming quite unstable as a result.
"Is there any limit to his power?" asked Shakkoumon.
"This whole place is shaking! I don't think our planet can handle this much pressure from a single force! It's freaking insane! Just like those natural disaster movies! Like Deep Impact!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
****************************************************************************************
Real/Digital World View
Even in the two worlds, the ground was starting to shake. People were screaming and running away in tremendous fear. They now knew that Armageddon was soon coming, but they had no idea that Virus was just simply powering up his ki level. But it did seem like the end of the world of them. Even the Digital World's citizens were panicking and running away into shelters as fast as they could.
Large cloud race overhead as people started to look up and run away from the piles of rubble falling from the buildings that surrounded them.
"No! This is it! It's the end of the world as we know it!" exclaimed a middle-aged man. "We're all going to die!"
****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Domain
The holy domain around the trio was trembling from Virus' sheer power. Azulongmon watched as areas of his kingdom were slowing caving deep down into the ground and dust clouds were forming in the skies. Gennai watched as nervously but Azulongmon knew that their area would remain safe and he would easily vanquish the destruction that was occurring in his realm.
"Unbelievable! We can even feel out Virus' power rising from our domain!" Azulongmon exclaimed. "With this power, he'll level the Earth if he's not careful."
"Not like he cares in the first place, X stated. "He doesn't plan on destroying the planet until he kills Kari."
"She's got to be on her guard! I don't think she really knows who she's dealing with!" Gennai responded.
"Stay focused, Kari. Just keep you're mind in control," the masked man said.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Virus' ki was still rising without any possible end. Metalla X and Angemon X can barely hold their balance. Mummymon's group all started to get blown away by the huge winds that were closing in on them. A bright golden light envelops an entire section of the Earth with Virus at its very center. Finally, the light begins to die away. The dust begins to settle away. Even Omega X was surprised by Virus' sudden power increase from out of nowhere. He didn't even expect Virus to maximize his current power level.
Virus still screamed as his ki continued rising to new heights. Partially hidden by the dust is Celesta X with lightning still sparking all around her. She's now and still is completely calm for some odd reason. She hasn't lost her balance due to the entire planet's trembling or its high winds. She stared right into the dust cloud, waiting for Virus to finish up.
Mummymon is quickly thrown back against a nearby rock wall. He yelled out when he hits and grabs his head. Bill leaned against the same wall, upside down, right beside him.
Omega X watched on from the air above.
"Virus is finally showing us his true power," said Omega X.
"What incredible power!" exclaimed Leomon, "It feels as if the entire planet was trembling.
"Um, it was Leomon," replied War Angemon, "And this is definitely not a good thing. Kari better finish him off before he destroys our planet with this power he possesses."
"How could it be possible, though?" asked Imperialdramon, "It can't be possible."
Virus screamed with his ki still going up and reaching to all new heights of power. The position that he was in now overshadowed the ki levels of the other digimon. He felt as if he were the strongest after this quick power up. With that said, Virus finally finishes his power up and smiles over towards Celesta X.
"Ah! How's that, Hikari?" asked Virus, "This is my true form! My true power! Now are you scared?! You better be! I'm now invincible with this upgrade!"
Celesta X rolled her eyes back and stared right over to him.
"Is that all you got?"
Virus' eyes widen for a bit and he is open-mouthed in complete shock at what she just said. But he quickly regained his confident composure and chuckles to himself. It was obvious that he was getting cocky and overlooking his adversary. Lighting still runs around Celesta X.
"Let me show you my fully evolved power! Shall I demonstrate?" Virus asked frantically.
Virus suddenly leaps forwards and punches Celesta X right in her pretty, little face. His fist actually connected with her for once. He smiles at what he had just done and looks on finishing the job once and for all.
"Damn! He's quick!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"It's not just that his power has increased, but also his speed has become quite faster!" exclaimed Metalla X.
Virus smiles down at Celesta X, but then his eyes widen in shock. He gasps at the realization that his punch had no effect on Celesta X whatsoever. Celesta X didn't even fall. She didn't even step back. Celesta X quickly opens her eyes and looks right up at Virus. Virus stares down at her with disbelief. They remain fixed in that position for several more seconds. Finally, Virus screams and pulls back his fist once again. Before he can throw his punch, Celesta X's own fist flies out and straight into Virus' stomach, imbedding itself in Virus' gut. Virus' jaw drops open and his eyes bulge out. He groans and steps back while holding his stomach with tremendous pain.
Angemon X watches on in disbelief. Omega X lands near him with a smile on his face.
Virus finally recovers, just as Celesta X flips forward and delivers a strong uppercut under the monster's chin. Virus flies back and lands on all fours, sliding further back through the dirt. He tries to stand up, and once more, he fails, falling onto his backside. He spits out green ooze and tries once more to get to his feet.
"This… can't… be!"
Celesta X stares right over towards him with a determined look on her face. Now her abundance of lightning danced around her body. A sweat drop runs down the side of Virus' face.
"She… injured me? She injured me… with just two punches that connected?! How did she… do that?!"
Virus almost falls again, but stepped back in order to catch himself.
Metalla X looks on with shock on his face. The other Digi-Destined and the digimon all looked dumbfounded at the very moment.
"What kind of power was that?" asked Imperialdramon.
"She's stronger than Virus," said War Angemon, "But let's not forget. It's not over until it's over."
"She's winning! Kari is winning! Amazing Grace is simply awesome!" exclaimed Angemon X.
Omega X smiled and watched the battle quietly, but then he just remembered at what TK had just said about it being over until it is officially over.
"I just hope your right about that TK,"Tai said to himself in Omega X's thoughts.
Virus remained doubled over in extreme pain, his eyes bulging, and his jaw hanging wide open. Celesta X simply just stares right over to him angrily.
Celesta X has Virus staggering with two fearsome punches. Has Amazing Grave lived up to its real expectations? Will this finally be the end of the War Games? Hurry up and finish, Hikari!

Omega X: Hikari! It's time to finish this! You can't let Virus recover! He'll take advantage of the situation!
Celesta X: Finish him off now. No, I want to make him suffer for a little while.
Virus: I won't let you defeat me! I won't let you defeat me!
Metalla X: She's knocked that bastard out of commission!
Imperialdramon: Look! He's coughed out Sonja! Virus' ki is depleting!
Omega X: Kari has won.
Virus: Not so fast! I'm not going down that easily! If I die, then I'm taking every one of you with me!
Celesta X: No! You can't!
War Angemon: Kari, hang on! I'll stop you myself, Virus!
Celesta X: TAKERU!
War Angemon: I love you, Hikari…
Celesta X: No! Takeru!

Max: We're getting another taste of Hikari, sweet!
SSJ4T: I hope you Kari fans are happy. I actually allowed her to be a strong feminine character without having her to take a bitchy attitude.
Coral: Yeah, save that for Rika.
SSJ4T: It comes to show that you don't have to be a bitch to be a strong feminine character. Kari just proved it now. It's her purity and anger that allowed her to get stronger.
Coral: It's a shame, you know. I'll never get to be like that.
SSJ4T: That's because you're not pure-hearted like Kari. You are a bitch at times.
Coral: Oh so I have to be Miss Perfect like Kari, don't I?
SSJ4T: sigh No. I didn't say Kari was perfect. She's not even close. She's simply pure not perfect. She was having self-doubts before ascending to Amazing Grace form. You better look yourself in the mirror and remind yourself that you'll never be pure.
Coral: Sure, I'm pure evil.
Max: That you are!
SSJ4T: Ok, children. That's enough. Next time, it's plenty of more domination on Kari's part and a possible loss on the Digi-Destined side. Make sure to check out the latest Tamers fic. The battle against the D-Reaper's final form is getting underway! Until then, peace!

The Fully Evolved Body Breaks Down! The Fallen Angel of Hope: Takeru Admits Love to Hikari!
Outside of Tokyo. Japan War Games Venue
The battle between Celesta X and Virus was now intensifying with Virus reeling back and feeling two painful shots from Celesta X. And those were just two simple punches that made contact. But these punches came from a fully powered up fusion warrior. Celesta X was now at one hundred percent of her very best and she would make it count.
Virus couldn't believe that he was being beaten at every aspect that he had worked so hard to accomplish. His adversary was now faster, stronger and more careful of how to use her abilities wisely. His anger was now getting the best of him and making his offensive attacks quite sloppy. Now he only has one chance of winning and that was to unleash everything that he has within his being.
Virus glares right over towards Celesta X, with an infuriated look on his face. However, she remains unchanged and stands there as calm as a statue. The digimon and the fusion warriors stand, watching nearby. Mummymon's group is, as always, hiding among some rocks. Ted works on the camera in order to get it fully repaired. Bill the reporter turns towards him.
"Hey, have you got the camera fixed yet?" asked Bill.
"Eh… Not yet. Rome wasn't built in a day!"
Bill looked right back towards the fight in anticipation to see what would now happen next.
"Then, can you at least fix the mike right about now? I don't want to miss the greatest battle in Earth's history!"
Mummymon cowered behind a rock, while whimpering as he stared out at Celesta X and Virus.
Virus glared out through his golden aura right over towards Celesta X. He then screams right through his clenched teeth, in order to make himself heard loud and clear.
"Damn you, Hikari!"
Nonetheless, Celesta X begins to walk calmly towards Virus with confidence on her face. Virus suddenly stops, watching her. Finally, Celesta X stops right in front of him. Virus stares angrily towards her with his face twisted with anger and confusion. Short half-screams escape his mouth through his clenched teeth. Finally, he screams and throws a kick towards Celesta X. Her arm flies up to block it with incredible ease. Virus screams and tries again, and again, and again. Each time with the same result.
"Damn it! How are you blocking them with such ease!"
Virus kicks again, but Celesta X is able to block it again. She stares right at him and then begins to scream. She jumps up and kicks Virus hard in his face. The monster is thrown backwards as a result of the kick's incredible force behind it. Virus slides through the dirt and rocks. Celesta X lowers her foot back down onto the ground.
Dust clears around Virus as he struggles to his feet, grunting. He sits on his hands and knees, panting, staring at the ground. He finally lifts his head to face Celesta X, with his eyes a little wide and blood running down his chin. Celesta X hasn't moved since putting her foot back down. Virus screams as he climbs up onto his feet. His aura reappears and then small rocks are lifted into the air around him.
"No! This cannot be happening! She's just a teenage child! I am the fully evolved warrior with no equal! But how is Hikari able to rival my power! It's impossible!"
Celesta X still hasn't moved from her spot. Virus continues his angry glaring right towards her.
"I'm the ultimate fighter that stands above everybody else!"
Celesta X slowly begins walking over towards her adversary. Virus' eyes widen a bit more as he looks over to see her approaching him. She takes a single step back, but Celesta X continues to march right on over towards him with cruel intentions. He leans forward and screams, trying to summon more strength into his being. He holds his hands out to either side and then huge energy beams flare up around his hands. The flaring fists then grow into two large energy beams.
"Oh no! Those are our Hands of Fate!" exclaimed War Angemon. "He's managed to purify them with dark energy!"
"That's not good, considering that Celesta X is a holy type," Imperialdramon frantically said, "Kari look out! They're unholy attacks!"
"Kari! Look out!" cried out Sora.
Omega X watched silently and was now starting to worry about what Virus could do with unholy attacks to his advantage.
But despite the appearance of the twin holy attacks, Celesta X continues her trek. Virus screams and throws each of them at Celesta X
"Now! Take these! Fists of Despair!"
He throws his arms out to either side, then shoots out two powerful beams straight out with tremendous force and it quickly shook the ground as they traveled out towards Celesta X as if they were torpedoes. Virus then crosses his arms together and brings the two beams in a sort of rotation-pattern. The beams fly straight at Celesta X, but then out of nowhere, she catches them both with her hands, with a beam in each hand. Virus gasped in utter horror.
"What! Impossible!" exclaimed War Angemon.
She held out the unholy beams out on either side of herself. Imperialdramon watched on with a shocked expression on his face.
"She stopped the unholy beams… She caught them with her arms… with ease…"
"Not possible and she didn't even die from the effects!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"Kari! Hang in there! You got him now!" exclaimed Angemon X.
Omega X remains silent as he watches on the battle and was not shocked but happy to see this turn of events. He knew that she would have this ability but he wondered how long she would remain this powerful before running out of energy.
Celesta X lets out a short scream with her aura flaring up a bit and causing the beams to quickly get shattered into small fragments of data.
"My power… My power is limitless," exclaimed Virus, "My best has yet to come, Hikari!"
He threw his head back and screamed out the last sentence, brought his arms up on either side as he raises his ki even more. Celesta X remains calm. Virus screams as he leaps into the air and fires a Positron Laser at Celesta X. The entire area is then bathed in a purple flash as the digimon watch the attack in silence. Celesta X stares up at it. Virus begins to laugh hysterically.
"What do you think of this!"
"I'm not impressed. You're wasting my time, Virus."
With that said, she simply bats away the beam away when it reaches her, and it flies back into the sky, exploding high up and lighting up the entire area. The Digi-Destined and Mummymon's group all watch in total shock and silence. Celesta X's arm remains in the sky. The purple light finally fades away within a matter of seconds.
Virus then fired a barrage of ki blasts from his fingertips. He begins to look happier, as it he were successful in the long run. Celesta X doesn't even move. Virus' eyes widen when he sees the result of his attack.
"This… This can't be… They went right through her!"
Celesta X stared at him, silently, completely unfazed from his last attack. There was not even a single scratch on her body.
"This can't be true!"
She remains silent and stoic.
Suddenly, Mummymon jumps up as if he has an idea up his mind and this catches his comrades' attention as they all stared up at him.
"All right, I've decided!" exclaimed Mummymon, "Hey guys! Now hear this! Hear me!"
They all gather around him and begin to listen to him as he begins to speak his mind.
"I'll invite that woman to my training sessions as an automatic senior student!"
"Huh! But what about us!" asked Skull Mammothmon.
"We paid you to train us," said Boltmon, "You mean your kicking us out?"
Mummymon turns towards them with a disgusted look on his face, and looked at them as if they were disposable trash.
"You idiots! You guys already have been expelled!"
"Oh no! Not us!" they both exclaimed in unison.
"Oh that's a great idea, Mummymon. With her in our school, she could help a thing or two about discipline. As a matter of fact, I could use an assistant of my gender," Arukenimon chimed in.
"Indeed. Indeed."
"Excuse me, Mummymon," Bill butted in, "But as far as I can tell, that woman is much stronger than yourself… No offense or anything."
"Sure she's good, but she can become quite better if she can control her powers."
Ted looked over towards them with a disgusted look on his face and eventually rolls his eyes. He couldn't believe their stupidity and how they are taking this situation very lightly.
"With my guidance, she can become stronger than she is already," Mummymon rambled on.
"Ahh! Good idea!" exclaimed Bill.
Ted sighs and gives them a strange look while going back to work on the broken camera.
"That's it. Virus has met his match," said Angemon X, "He'll soon realize that he can't win."
"He just won't give up, though," replied Izzy.
The others just watch on in stunned silence. War Angemon was now paying attention to what Celesta X was doing and was now starting to worry if she would eventually lose control of herself and turn on the him and the other Digi-Destined. He will just have to see and find out.
Virus stares down over at Celesta X as she begins walking over towards him. Virus backed away with a frightened yelp. They both stop and Celesta X stares up at him with cold, blue eyes full of hatred.
"What are you so afraid of, Virus? Isn't this what you wanted? I told you! I told you what would happen if you were to anger us. But you didn't listen!"
Now, Virus felt terror for the first time, and he was soon regretting making Celesta X so angry by teasing her. Since, he was the one who made Celesta X stronger than himself.
"Now you're going to find out what real fear is when I kill you. You hear me? Kill you!"
Virus' eyes widen as he screams and leaps back up into the sky above. He was now having a case of the limber tail and flying off from the nightmare that he unleashed. Celesta X watches him calmly. The digimon stared up at him. The artificial flies several hundred feet into the air before finally stopping.
"Hey look! He's running! He's getting away," Joe exclaimed excitedly.
"Looks like we won," Mimi said.
"No, it's not over. Not by a long shot. He's up to something," War Angemon, "But what?"
Virus pulls back his arms above his head to one side, cupping his hands together. An orange flash of energy was now beginning to form in the middle of the palm of his hands.
"TE-R-RA!"
Suddenly, the orange ki begins to quickly begin to converge in his hands.
"He can he use that! No, Virus! Don't do it! You're going to regret it," exclaimed Omega X.
In the sky above, Virus can no longer be seen by the visible eye, but rather, a large orange sphere of powerful energy now occupies his entire position.
"This is the ultimate Terra Beam! It will force enough energy to rip open a hole from this world to your own, Digi-Destined! I'm going to blow up the two worlds with this incredible force! Not even you and this planet can withstand it! Ha! Ha! But, who fucking cares! Ha! Ha!"
"No stop! Are you insane!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
Celesta X stares up at him, still completely calm as ever. But how could she be clam at a dangerous situation as this. Doesn't she realize that the two worlds may very well get blown into smithereens as a result of this one large attack? She doesn't seem so.
"BEAM!"
(Rob Zombie "Never Gonna Stop Me" plays)
Virus thrusts his arms forward and tosses his attack right down. The Terra Force races forth. The Digi-Destined and the digimon watch in shock and terror as it continues towards the surface of the Digital World. And of course, Mummymon's group is completely stunned and crapping in their pants, but not literally.
"He did it! We're all going to die!" exclaimed Metalla X.
Celesta X watches the Terra Force, undaunted. Just then, she begins to speak and chant what seemed to be some sort of angel language. It sounded a bit Latin and had a holy feel to it. And then she thrusts her hands upwards and shoots out an orange beam of energy. It looked similar to the Terra Force but she chanted it as a different attack.
"Seven Heavens of Light!"
She then shoots it right up and counters Virus' Terra Force. Virus stares right down at the giant beam of orange ki set forth on Celesta X. He recoils when it flies straight back at him, propelled by a much smaller, but apparently stronger, beam of holy energy.
"WHAT! NO!"
The Seven Heavens beam continues straight up towards Virus. They slow down, and Celesta X's Seven Heavens beam begins to expand our further, throwing up dust all over the area. The fusion warriors and the digimon grunt and scream against the strong winds while Mummymon's crew can't even remain on the ground.
Virus watches it, unable to make any kind of coherent noises, although he appears to be struggling to curse to himself. Celesta X's Seven Heavens beam continues to grow, easily overtaking Virus' Terra Force. Virus watches, screaming.
"It's larger than mine!"
And still the Seven Heavens beam expands, completely engulfing Virus'. Virus screams as the expanding walls of the Seven Heavens beam begins to engulf him, as well, before continuing out into the outer space of Earth's orbit. Celesta X stares calmly into the sky as the lighting slowly begins to turn to normal.
("Never Gonna Stop Me" ends)
After the lighting in the sky quickly started to fade away, everything seemed really calm at the very moment to say the least. Metalla X emerges from a mound of dust and sand, and he looks up. All he could see was Celesta X.
"She did it! Awesome! She broke that huge ass Terra Force with a Seven Heavens beam and knocked Virus right out of orbit! There's no doubt that she has won this battle," Matt said to himself in Metalla X's thoughts.
Silphymon, Shakkoumon, War Angemon and Imperialdramon all manage to free themselves from the sand that was burying them. Just then, an arm emerges and Leomon manages to pull himself out from under the sand. Nearby, Angemon X recovers as well. The other digimon all manage to pull themselves up along with their human partners. Omega X was the last to pull himself up from the sand. They all remain sitting down on the sand for a few moments, until War Angemon finally stands up.
"What! I can still sense his ki!" exclaimed War Angemon, "I know it sounds crazy, but it's true!"
"Virus is still alive!" Angemon X cried out.
"That's impossible!" shouted Imperialdramon.
Omega X gasped, stands up and looks right up into the sky above to see if they were right or not. And the truth of the fact is that they were right. Virus is still alive.
Virus stares right down at Celesta X with a possessed look of rage on his face. His mouth was now twisted with both the combination of shock and anger. But he didn't look the same as before. He was now partially disfigured. The top of his head, mainly his two head crests on the top of his head, was now gone. Along with that his left arm, a wing, most of his right leg, and a foot on the other leg were now gone. Virus could only look on with shock at what happened at his precious artificial body. A satisfied look comes across the face of Celesta X.
"She's already exceeded me, War Greymon. Ever since that day, her power has been beyond that of a digital fusion warrior. I never knew that she and Gatomon had it in them," Tai said in Omega X's thoughts.
"Neither did I, until that very day," replied War Greymon, "I can surely remember it as if it were yesterday."
Flashback
Back in the training time chamber, Omega X and Celesta X both locked hands. Struggling against one another, they finally both flip away to either side. Celesta X falls to her hands and knees, breathing heavily. Omega X, also breathing heavily, remains on his feet. Celesta X suddenly jumps up and they begin sparring once again. Omega X dodges or blocks each of Celesta X's head on attacks.
"That's it, Kari. You've been controlling your power quite well."
While Omega X was busy fielding the punches, Celesta X super kicked him in the gut. Instinctively, Omega X elbows her in the face, throwing her aside. Celesta X bounces away and lands hard on her feet.
"Whoa! Was that a little too much? I never want to do this again. I don't feel right for hitting my own sister. But if that is what you wanted, I guess you're going to learn it the hard way."
"Yeah."
Celesta X slowly pushes herself off of the ground, and Omega X chuckles.
"Hey, Kari. Lets leave off here. We've been practicing for over twenty hours now. Lets take a break. We're definitely going to need it, especially me. I need to sleep."
With that said, he turns around and walks towards the bedroom while clutching his injured shoulder.
"Tai…"
Omega X stops at where he was at and then turns right around to see Celesta X slowly rising up on her own two feet. He could feel her ki level sky rocketing within a matter of seconds. Celesta X pulls herself back up and was now sporting a bright golden aura, with her hair flowing out as if the wind were blowing.
"Do we really have to stop?"
Omega X watches in shock and notices that she was smiling over towards him. He begins to wonder why and was surprised to see that she still wants to continue even after a brutal beating during this long training.
"What kind of power is this! She's become tremendous!"
Celesta X lets out a scream, and for a brief second, reaches her Amazing Grace form, then fades right back out. Her fusion body then separated and they de-fused back to Kari and Gatomon. They both collapse onto the ground. Omega X looks right back to his sister and her faithful digimon partner.
End of Flashback
"You've done it. You've defeated Virus and exceeded myself. You've made the Kamiya family proud. Hell, I'm even considering of retiring after this," Tai said to himself, "A guy needs his rest and I don't mind the retirement at this age. I got a long life ahead of me."
Suddenly, his eyes narrow up and he continues to watch the confrontation between both Virus and Celesta X. It wasn't over yet as far as Virus was concerned.
Virus stared right down over towards Celesta X with a look of rage over his face.
"H… How! How can she create such an enormous power! She's just a teenage child!"
Celesta X smiled up at him and was now beginning to think that her battle has now been won. War Angemon suddenly catches on and notices Kari still being as confident as ever.
"Ah! Oh no! Virus is going to regenerate! If she doesn't end him quick, he's going to regenerate and its back to the drawing board!" exclaimed War Angemon.
Everyone turns towards him, especially Omega X. This was Virus' only chance at recovering and gaining back his lost power as well as his lost limbs. Omega X looks back over towards Celesta X and yells out towards her.
"Kari! Kari, give him the final blow! Give him the final blow, immediately! What are you waiting for, Christmas! Do it now!" exclaimed Omega X.
Celesta X looks over towards him and has a smug look on her face. She narrows her eyes and smiles.
"A final blow, huh?"
She chuckled to herself and then looked right back up towards Virus with a grin on her face.
"No! I think I'll wait! I'm going to let him suffer for a little while."
"What! No! That's a mistake! You're overconfidence will be you're weakness! Just because he's in pain, doesn't make him dead already! He's not dead! Finish him, Kari!"
"Has she lost her damn mind?" asked War Angemon, "She's letting her new powers go straight to her head! I should have seen this one coming! She's as thick-headed as you, Tai!"
"Yeah, but now I learn to respect my power. I was naive too know those years ago! C'mon, Kari! Quit wasting time! You can't allow him to regenerate!"
Celesta X looks right back over towards her brother.
"Your the only one that has the power to finish him! Do it now! Don't toy with him anymore! We don't know what he's capable of doing next!"
Celesta X looks right up back at Virus, who grunts as he begins to regenerate his missing body parts. A new arm, then a new head crest, a new wing, a new leg and a new foot on the other leg have all grown back. Virus was now back to his complete form and was catching his breathe since he required a lot of energy to pull such a technique to do so.
He looks right down over towards Celesta X while panting to himself. He clenched his fists and his body was shaking with anger.
"You retched girl! Damn you! DAMN YOU!"
Suddenly, Virus begins to glow a golden aura, then a strong wind flies out from him, and his entire upper torso begins to bulge and pulsate. He screams and drops down onto the ground right in front of Celesta X.
"Oh great! Virus is back to ol' evil self," remarked Imperialdramon.
"You little shit! You won't defeat me! With this fully evolved body, you are nowhere near my power now! I am invincible!"
Celesta X looks up at him quietly. Virus throws a punch, but only manages to hit the ground. Celesta X lands a few feet away. Virus jumps forward and begins punching right at Celesta X, but she easily evades each fist that Virus manages to throw.
"His power has grown so much that his speed can't match his size! He should notice such a careless mistake! Figures, he never lives up to his promises. He's basically losing control of his sanity," said Angemon X.
"Well said, Dimitri. He really needs a shriek to help control his temper. Tsk tsk. Talk about anger management," remarked Mimi.
After they made their comments, Celesta X continues to dodge punch after punch. Celesta X handspring flips forward and kicks Virus right in the face. They both land as Celesta X's foot leaves a permanent indention on Virus' face. Celesta X flies in again, kicking him hard in the gut.
Omega X watched happily while War Angemon looks on stunned.
Virus' mouth hangs open with green saliva pouring out from his mouth. His eyes are twisted so that they're not even looking the same way. He makes a strange, gurgling noise, as if he's trying to grunt, but is in too much pain to even do that much and he wasn't able to scream with the wind being knocked out of him. The saliva simply pools on the ground below him. He falls to one knee and steadies himself on one elbow. Celesta X stands right next to him. Virus rises back to his feet but then he falls back down. Celesta X forms a smile across her face.
Suddenly, Virus' face cohorts and his mouth shuts up, as if he was about to vomit, but is trying not to. His cheeks bulge and his chest swells.
"Ah! What is it?" asked Imperialdramon.
"Something is wrong with Virus' body," replied Angemon X.
"He's… sick…" Leomon said.
Omega X could only look on with disgust at what he was looking at. He was disgusted with the way that Virus was looking right now.
Virus' chest to swell to such a degree that it wasn't all surprising he doesn't explode.
"I see what's happening," said War Angemon.
Imperialdramon turns towards him and looks back over towards Omega X, who was now about to say something.
"Virus' power is rapidly decreasing," said Omega X.
"I was right," replied War Angemon, "He's no longer able to maintain his fully evolved body! It was only a matter of time!"
"What do you mean?" asked Angemon X.
Virus' neck swells on one side, but he still struggles to keep his mouth shut and his body intact. A small bit of green ooze escapes from his mouth every now and then. He puts his hands over his mouth to stop the leak. Finally, his mouth bursts open, and something covered in green ooze comes out from out of his mouth.
Angemon X and Imperialdramon both gasp at what they were seeing. They could easily recognize at what he had just regurgitated. It had a human-like body.
"Wait a minute! That's… That's… It couldn't be!" exclaimed Metalla X.
Shakkoumon and Silphymon watch on in shock, but other than gasps, they were completely silent. Lying on the ground in front of Virus is an unconscious, but still intact, artificial Sonja.
"It's Artificial Sonja! It's her!" exclaimed Imperialdramon, "Virus just spit out Sonja!"
"It's her alright! I can't believe she's still alive," said Angemon X.
"It's over now. Kari has won," said War Angemon, "Virus was no match for her."
Virus remains hunched over on the ground, still hacking and vomiting up more green ooze and looks right down over the fallen body of Sonja. Celesta X simply smiles at him. Virus rises up, screaming, as he begins to reverse back into his previous form. He towers right over Celesta X, with his body still pulsating.
Matsuki Residence
The boy looks on with relief as his new heroine, Celesta X, had dealt the devastating blow to the twisted artificial demon. Yet, he couldn't stomach watching Virus regurgitate Sonja out from his body.
"I don't think I can eat another meal after that! Yuck! I can't believe it! She really did him in!"
Just then, a manly voice calls out to the little boy. It was definitely coming from the father, who was in the other room.
"Takato! The channels are on the fritz! We can't even see the event!"
"You mean the War Games! Well, my TV works!"
"What! Why didn't you say so earlier!"
"Because I rather watch this myself. Man, this is so great! I wish I could defend the world just like these guys. That'd be so awesome!" the boy thought.
"Coming through!"
Takato moved to the side as his father had his eyes glued to the set. The boy felt embarrassed, but happy at the very same time. He wanted to watch the event alone, but couldn't help but enjoy it with company around.
"What? It's over!"
"No. At least, I don't think so," Takato said.
War Games Venue
Back at the War Games site, a huge power decrease was now taking place and it was definitely coming from Virus. The once, invincible warrior soon realized that he should have never underestimated the powers of the child of light. And now he has paid the price for it.
He's lost his last source of power, Sonja, and spat her out. As a result of this, his power decreased dramatically. Now he had just signed his own death warrant.
Liquid pours out from Virus' gaping mouth. He falls to his knees and grabs up the unconscious Sonja by her head. He plans on swallowing her up as soon as he can.
"No! Don't touch her you bastard!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
War Angemon then throws out his arm and stops Imperialdramon. Imperialdramon stop and then cries over towards Sonja in hopes of saving her or at least telling Celesta X to rescue Sonja.
Virus stands up, throwing his head back as he let out a horrifying scream. He pounds his fists onto the ground and lets out his rage.
Mummymon's group watches in awe at these turn of events and were now questioning whether or not the fight was over.
"Whoa! What a surprise!" exclaimed Bill, "A massive blow by the angel woman has apparently caused major damage to Virus! This is a big upset! Is this woman the winner of the entire War Games!"
"Uh, hey dude, the mike still doesn't work," replied Ted.
"Oh, right. This is the end of our broadcast. Thank you," replied Bill.
Suddenly, wind begins to blow out from Virus. It looks as though his body was now burning out from losing his valuable asset to his fully evolved body.
"What's that? What's going on?" asked Joe.
Omega X watches silently over at the now de-evolving Virus. Virus grunts and groans as the light wind blows outward in a ring around him. Smoke slowly rises from his body. To the shock of the entire digimon and Digi-Destined group, Virus reverts back to his previous second form. Virus breathes heavily as the transformation quickly finishes up.
"Look! His original body is back!" exclaimed Angemon X, "He's not fully evolved anymore!"
"Yes! Kari has won! There's no contest anymore! Virus was no match for her," replied Leomon.
Metalla X watched in amazement and is unable to mutter a single word. He was in a state of shock and anger, since he has been craving to defeating Virus himself. But Kari quickly beats him to the punch.
Virus turned himself around to look right back towards Celesta X with wide, fearful eyes. Celesta X simply stares right over at him and doesn't make a single movement.
"DAMN YOU!"
(Saliva "Click, Click, Boom" plays)
He steps forward slowly, with the ground cracking under his feet due to the rage and hatred building up inside of him.
"Damn it! You made me this way! It's all your fault!"
Virus leaps forwards to attack, but Celesta X easily dodges the attack, and Virus hits nothing but solid ground. Virus turns towards her and starts attacking her again, but she easily dodges. She jumps forwards and throws Virus back.
"Way to go, Kari!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"Finish him! Finish now!" shouted War Angemon.
Virus slowly recovers as Celesta X approaches over towards him. He looks back with widen eyes. He quickly back peddles the other way and falls into the crater, catching himself as he falls in. Celesta X walks over and stares down at him for a moment, then steps on his hand. Virus grunts angrily.
"What's wrong, Virus? Aww. Did the poor baby get a boo boo? Come back up here!"
Virus looks right up at her with eyes full of fear.
"Damn it… You couldn't possibly let me fall, would you! You're too soft hearted! You don't have enough of a black heart to do so. You wouldn't stoop to that level…"
Virus tried to pull himself up, but Celesta X's foot finds his face, pushing the artificial back down. Celesta X's aura flares up a bit and Virus falls into the crater.
Virus manages to catch himself halfway down the pit, as he stops and flies straight back up. As soon as he emerges from the crater, Celesta X executes a spinning back kick to his face with a shout. Virus flies back into some rocks. Celesta X walks over towards Virus' new position.
"I'm going to make you pay for this, Hikari! I swear to it that I will!"
"Virus! Give up! There's no point in this whatsoever! You aren't going to beat me."
"Kari! Don't toy with him! Kill him now!" exclaimed Omega X.
Celesta X pays no attention to her brother as she walks over towards Virus in a calmly manner. Virus stares right over to her with a frightened look on his face.
"No! Stay back! I won't let you! I… won't… let you! I… won't let you!"
Just then, the artificial hunched right over and raises his ki level, generating a strong, powerful wind. But after all of the strong winds that the digimon have endured all day, this one wasn't strong enough to throw them off of their feet.
Virus' eyes suddenly look off to either side as if they were becoming cross-eyed and were about to pop out from the sockets. His body quickly begins to grow, but this time not in muscular size, but rather, in a plump blimp-size.
Mummymon's group watches on in total fear and amazement. They were panicking over what may happen next, yet they really have no idea of what Virus intends on doing now.
"I don't understand what's going on!" exclaimed Bill, "Virus is transforming again! He's actually swelling up this time, as if he were blowing himself up like a big balloon!"
Out on the battlefield, Virus was indeed swelling up into rather unforgiving proportions. His legs expanded a bit first, but have now pretty much stopped, so its just his torso that's expanding, both vertically and horizontally. Virus is pretty much groaning throughout the whole process. He holds up his hands. Celesta X watches on the transformation silently.
"What? What is he doing now!" Angemon X asked frantically.
Everyone basically watches the whole transformation in shock and confusion. Suddenly, Omega X's eyes widen in horror.
"Oh on! No, Virus! Damn you! You can't!"
The bloated up Virus begins to laugh hysterically but with a more villainous tone to it. His voice sounded like it was full of stuffing, more like a frog's croaking.
"This is the end of you! I will blow up soon! I will die, and so will all of you! The two worlds are going to blow up with me!"
"What! No! Impossible!" shouted Celesta X.
"Blow himself up!" Metalla X exclaimed, "Can he possibly do that! He's bluffing!"
"No! He's right! With his power, the two worlds will easily be blown up!" explained Leomon.
The Digi-Destined and the digimon all watch in fear and shock. Now the fate of the two worlds was soon going to be determined and its officially that they would soon be wiped out within minutes, or even seconds.
Virus laughed with that same old evil maniacal, villain way as his body continues to expand further and further, slowly becoming more deformed than ever. Celesta X growls and quickly gets into a fighting stance to battle him once again.
"I won't let you do it!" exclaimed Celesta X.
Virus holds up his hand and begins to laugh once again.
"Now take it easy, Hikari! You don't want to be responsible for me blowing up prematurely, do you! You don't want to make me upset! One shockwave will set me off! You don't want see the two worlds blow up just before everybody has their final prayers, now do you!"
Celesta X glares at him, but this time out of shock and total fear. She was quickly losing her confidence and her strong-heartedness. She lowers her fists as Virus continues laughing.
"We're almost there, Hikari! At this point, even I can't stop it! Your time is almost up! You might as well say your prayers!"
Celesta X quickly rises back to her full height and looks right up at the bloated beast.
"No… We can't lose! Not now!" exclaimed Imperialdramon, "We can't even use my Positron Laser on him if he can just blow himself up!"
"What can we do to stop him?" asked Silphymon.
"We can't… It's too late… We've lost," said Dinobeemon.
Virus continues to bloat up even more as his body quickly starts to cover up most of the middle portion of the War Game battlegrounds.
"It's almost time! Just a few more seconds, Hikari!"
Suddenly, Celesta X quickly recalled what had just happened a few minutes ago prior to this. She recalls back to the mistake that she made that she should have corrected in the first place.
Flashback
Fully evolved Virus was hanging up in the skies above, stunned and losing the majority of his limbs after being blasted by Celesta X's Seven Heavens beam and the reflection of his Terra Force. Just then, Omega X shouts out towards Celesta X in encouragement.
"Kari! Finish him now! You have the power to destroy him! Its time to use it! Give the final blow! Do it now!"
Celesta X simply smiles over towards him and ignores his please.
"We don't know of what he's capable of doing next! Finish him now!"
End of Flashback
"Is that what Tai meant! No! What have I done!"
Celesta X quickly falls to her knees with tears coming down her eyes. She looks down at the ground and begins crying to herself. Her aura fades away as she smashes her fists into the ground.
"Damn it! It's all my fault! I should have killed much sooner!"
The Digi-Destined watch on in total shock at what just happened to Celesta X, and they quickly figured out that she realized what she has done and was condoning herself for her actions.
"This is it!" exclaimed Angemon X.
"No! Not now!" cried Mimi.
Suddenly, random views of both the earth and the digital world are shown. A light starts at the top of the two worlds and spreads down over the two. The two worlds turned completely golden, which soon turns into a more fiery red.
"The two worlds are about to go! They're about to blow!" exclaimed Leomon, "Virus has won!"
Metalla X watched on silently, with a frightened look on his face but he keeps it to retain his determination and cool composure. But even Matt was scared out of his wits just like everybody else. Omega X looks on silently. War Angemon looks towards Virus and then towards a crying Celesta X. He couldn't bear to see his best friend like this.
Virus laughed out hysterically. War Angemon stares out at him, but then turns to everybody else, especially Omega X. A smile formed on his face.
"Huh! TK, what is it?" asked Imperialdramon.
"You know. I thought it was over," said War Angemon, "And this is the only solution that I could come up with."
"Eh! What are you talking about?" asked Shakkoumon.
"What do you mean, TK?" Omega X managed to ask.
"Takeru? No, you wouldn't… tell me you wouldn't," said Angemon X.
War Angemon looks right over towards the battlefield and then waves over towards his friends. Omega X tries to stop him, but War Angemon quickly races off towards Celesta X and Virus.
"Goodbye everyone! Hikari! Hang on tight, girl," exclaimed War Angemon.
"No! TK! Don't do this!" Metalla X exclaimed angrily.
The Digi-Destined all tried to stop him but he was much too fast for them to catch up to, especially with all of the strong winds that were blowing along the landscape.
"TK! You fool! Your going to get killed dammit!" shouted Omega X, "No! TK!"
Virus laughs right at Celesta X and holds out his bloated arms frantically as if he were already celebrating for the demise of the two worlds already.
"Are you ready! I guess we'll call this match a draw, Hikari. Say bye bye, earth! Bye bye Digital World! So long Hikari and goodbye Taichi!"
Celesta X ignored his comments and looks right down at the ground. The bloated beast continues on taunting her.
(Creed "My Sacrifice" plays)
War Angemon flies right in between the two and looks right towards Virus with a look of determination on his face. Omega X and Metalla X all cried out in shock and tried to rush over to stop him, but the strong winds prevented them from doing so.
War Angemon walks right up towards the bloated Virus and then faces towards Celesta X. Celesta X looks right up, and Virus gasps in shock. War Angemon glares down at the young warrior and smiles. She looks right back towards him.
"Hikari…"
"Takeru…"
Celesta X rushes over towards him and wraps her arms around his waist. War Angemon holds onto her and could feel her head on his shoulder. Hot streams of tears were pouring down on his shoulder.
"Hikari… I know you and I have considered ourselves as best friends for a very long time. But I always wanted to say that I… I… I… see you more than just a friend, but as an equal and I love you dearly. Hikari, do you feel the same way about me? I need to know…"
Celesta X nodded in reply and smiled towards the warrior of hope.
"Yes. I feel the same way. Ever since I met you when you were a little boy, I've always liked you. But now, we've grown up together and I've grown to love you even more so. Your so sweet and gentle."
"And so are you. But this time, I have to do this to save you…"
"No, Takeru! Please don't do this! I don't know how I'm going to live with myself if you were to go!"
"Hikari. Do not worry. Where I'm going it's just like the Digital World. If I die, then I'm still considered as data and I can be reconfigured. It happened with my brother and Sora many years ago. Remember?"
"Yes, but I want you to come home with me after this is all said and one… I don't want you to leave me…"
"Hikari. I love you, but I have to do this. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't love you. I'm doing this because I do really love you and don't want to see you get hurt. You're needed in the two worlds. You've exceeded your brother and it's your time to run with the ball…"
Celesta X chokes out a gasp and then wipes her tears away. War Angemon smiles and shoots out a blast. Suddenly, a huge portal opens up from the blast and it opens up as if it were the Gate of Destiny. Virus watched as he was quickly being sucked into the blast.
"Goodbye… Hikari…"
Celesta X pulls herself towards him and then plants a kiss onto the lips of War Angemon. She holds onto him tightly and War Angemon returns the favor by holding and kissing her. The two lovers have now revealed their secrets for the love towards each other, which wasn't a surprise to the other Digi-Destined. War Angemon lets himself free and goes flying right towards Virus.
"All right, Virus! Since you don't seem to be moving into the hole, I might as well push you right in myself!"
"No!"
War Angemon powers up and shoots out a blast into Virus, which sends the bloated beast flying right into the portal. War Angemon then finds himself getting sucked right in. Celesta X cries out as she watches the portal close up instantly.
"TK! NO!"
"Takeru!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
Everyone stood in shock and sadness at what just happened. Omega X and Metalla X were going insane over the turn of events that just occurred, especially Metalla X. He wanted to tear right through the group and create it through the portal to help his young brother but was too late in doing so.
Anti-Universe AKA Dark Dimension.
Meanwhile, the bloated Virus and War Angemon found themselves in the dark dimension that Burizalor once occupied. War Angemon was stunned to see where he was now. He saw no surroundings, but just total darkness. Just then, Virus wraps into some deep, roaring noise as his body quickly expands. Then he blows right up and causes a gigantic shockwave across the dark dimension. War Angemon screams out as gets engulfed in a bright, white light. And it soon envelopes across the entire dark dimension and left nothing but particles in its wake. No sighs of Virus nor TK anywhere. They were now gone from existence.
("My Sacrifice" ends)
War Games Venue
Celesta X stares right over towards the spot that TK and Virus had once occupied. She was still in shock and able to feel the warm touch of TK's lips kissing hers. Her mouth hangs open and eyes widening.
Each of the Digi-Destined and the digimon had their heads lowered down in grief and sorrow, thought Metalla X was visibly upset over what just happened and blamed himself for not stopping him at the very last moment.
"No, he's… He's gone," Omega X managed to mutter under his breathe.
"I can't even sense my brother's fusion ki level anymore. Oh Takeru, why… Why did you do that?" Metalla X muttered softly.
Imperialdramon fell to his knees and slams his fists into the ground. He had just lost a good friend of his, though a bit of a rival at times, but now has lost somebody that he has been a friend/rival with over these past few years.
"No… TK… I can't believe this… I got your name right for once…"
Just then, tears start to roll down the face of Celesta X. She shuts her eyes completely and screamed out.
"TAKERU!"
Her scream echoes through all of the surrounding area, and everybody was able to hear it even from a long distance. Her cries might as well be heard across the two worlds if that's how loud her cries might have been.

The mighty guardian lifted his head up and could feel two large kis vanishing right. Even X was able to feel out these two dying powers. They turned their attention towards Gennai with saddened expressions.
"Hmmm?"
"What's wrong, Azulongmon?"
"I've lost track of Takeru's energy… War Angemon to be exact… I've also lost track of Virus' also."
"You mean… Takeru is dead!"
"I'm afraid so," X replied. "I didn't want to believe it, but I really didn't expect Takeru to pull off this sacrificial act. Then again, his love for Hikari is very strong."
Azulongmon turns his head away in shame and this easily was an indication that he was correct. The guardian's body language was more than enough proof for Gennai to realize what had just happened.
"No! Takeru! No! He sacrificed himself just to save the girl he loves! What a brave young man, but he sure paid the price… X, there has to be something that we go to do! Can't be bring him back!"
"Maybe with the Digital Cores, though, it will be quite difficult considering that fact that he is in the Dark Dimension as we speak," said X. "But I don't think he could have survived that explosion. He's strong, but I'm sure how strong he would have survived. Last time, Tai barely made it out of there alive."
"Damn! If we only knew the whereabouts of TK!"
"I hope so. I'll call forth for the other guardians as soon as possible. But TK may have very well saved the two worlds… Thank you, young one…" X said in thoughts.

Still crying, Celesta pounds her fists into the ground and grinds her teeth together on sadness. She tries to hold back her tears but is much too emotional to do so.
Metalla X growls and doesn't seems to be saddened but angry over the fact that he wasn't able to stop his brother in time to pull off such a stunt like that. But he was just as sad as the others were at the moment.
Sora and the other children all wiped their tears away. The digimon were all just as sad over what had just taken place. The fusion warriors all lower their heads.
Mummymon's crew watches in confusion, unsure of what's going on. Bill breaks up the silent treatment and speaks out.
"What has happened over there? Virus is gone. Virus and that angel just suddenly disappeared into what appeared to be a digital portal into the dark dimension. Huh? Oh damn. That's right, my mike… This blows…"
"Mummymon, I think they're dead… They're really gone," said Arukenimon, "Poor girl… She seems so sad…"
"Yes, what a shame. This has been the most controversial fight in history… and now two fighters getting killed… That's definitely a shame…"
Celesta X sits on the ground crying herself to death. Imperialdramon walked right over towards her and pats Celesta X on her shoulder.
"It's over, Kari. You and Tai saved us all… and what TK did was simply heroic. He truly does love you… I was wrong to have ever doubted him… I give him my prayers… He's was a good guy…"
Celesta X raises her head a bit, but still doesn't make any eye contact with Imperialdramon. Her eyes shut completely.
"It's all my fault! I could have killed Virus as my brother had told me otherwise! It's all my fault…"
"Kari… TK made a heroic move and he did it to save you… He loves you."
"He's right, Kari," replied Omega X, "He did something that we weren't able to do. We underestimated Virus and that was a big mistake on our part. TK took advantage and saved the two worlds. Remember that, he did it to make sure that we all lived. C'mon, lets go home. We'll tell Mrs. Takaishi about everything."
Celesta X quickly smiles over at her brother had just said to her. Imperialdramon and Omega X walk over towards Celesta X and help her up onto her two feet. She walks away with Omega X back over towards the group. Just then, Imperialdramon noticed Sonja laying on the ground unconscious.
"Hey! It's artificial Sonja!"
Sonja lies there with her long, raven-colored hair blowing along with the wind. Imperialdramon walks over to her fallen body and sighs to himself.
"She's still alive. I just know it. Hold on, girl. I got you."
Imperialdramon quickly picks up Sonja and holds her in the palm of his hands. He walks right over towards the group and watches over the fallen artificial girl. Celesta X looks right back at the spot where Virus and War Angemon once stood.
"Oh… Takeru…"
"Hey! Davis! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Metalla X asked angrily, "Put down that damn artificial right now! It's still alive!"
"No I can't!"
"Destroy her now! It's still alive!"
"No! She didn't do anything bad! C'mon, shes not like Virus! She has a conscience and a heart just like us. Please, just spare her life."
"Ugh! You're pathetic!" exclaimed Metalla X, "Go ahead! Do what you like with her, Davis! I don't care!"
"Ugh! What an asshole!" Mimi said to herself, "How did I end up with him!"
"You ready to go, Mimi?" asked Michael.
"Mmhmm."
Just then, a light wind blows over the area. The light wind then turns into a very strong wind. The Digi-Destined and the digimon all spin around.
"What! What is that!" asked Metalla X frantically.
Suddenly, a giant dust cloud surrounds the area, and inside, lighting dances around the middle portion of the cloud. The entire area turns into a more blue color for a moment.
"This power… It's… No! It can't be!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
Angemon X, Shakkoumon and Silphymon all hold up their arms up against the strong and powerful winds.
"It can't be!" Angemon X cried out.
"He's... He's back!" shouted Omega X.
The wind even blows back some of the small boulders away into a far distance. This wind was becoming stronger and stronger by every second. Celesta X looks out over towards the dust cloud with a look of fear across her face.
Just then, a familiar hand points out through the cloud and fires away a golden ki-blast. The blast was so fast that even all of the digimon weren't able to keep up with it. It went by past each of the digimon and the Digi-Destined, until it pierces right through Angemon X's chest. He yelps out and flies back with blood spewing out from the hole. He falls down onto the ground below and quickly loses his life force. He was now dead before realizing what had just killed him. Metalla X and Mimi all look on with total shock across their faces. They had just lost their future son.
"No! Dimitri!" exclaimed Metalla X, "Damn you, Virus! I know it's you!"
"Dimitri! No! Please… don't die!" cried out Mimi as she runs over towards Angemon X's fallen corpse.
The other fusion warriors look towards the dust cloud and it slowly starting to clear away. Just then, they could hear a familiar voice booming out from the cloud.

"Ha! Ha! So, who was that I just killed? Dimitri? Aww that's such a shame, but it's really good to be back! Ha! Ha!"
And out of the cloud, Virus was standing there in his final, evolution form. A huge smirk forms across his face and electric circuits flow throughout his charged up body.
Virus has managed to survive the explosion! But how will the Digi-Destined combat the monster that just came back from the dead! Takeru's heroic attempt to stop the villain has failed! Doom has descended on Planet Earth! Stop him, Digi-Destined!

Omega X: Yo! It's me, Tai! You won't believe it! Virus has come back after TK's sacrifice became in vain!
Virus: I've come back stronger than I've ever been. Omega X, you are half responsible for Takeru's death.
Omega X: What do you mean!
Virus: Time Warp. After the explosion, a last remaining cell survived and that eventually gave way for my rebirth.
Celesta X: No! You killed Takeru, Virus! It was done by you're trickery! Now you will pay for what you've done!
Metalla X: NO! HE IS MINE! VIRUS! GIVE ME BACK MY SON!
Virus: Yamato, when will you ever learn?
Celesta X: She's become so strong! Takeru, if only you were here to support me…
TK: Kari!
Celesta: TK! How are you-
TK: I'm speaking to you through the digital after life. Since we're close, our minds are linked. Listen, you'll have to give him you're best Seven Heavens Beam! I know you can do it, Hikari!
Celesta X: This one's for you, Takeru! Virus, let's finish this!
Virus: That's more like it, Hikari! Let's settle this to the death! POSITRON LASER!
Celesta X: SEVEN HEAVENS BEAM!
Mimi: Next time on Digimon Fusion Zero Two!
The Nightmare is Reborn! Hope and Love Shall Overcome Virus!
TK: Don't you miss it!
SSJ4T: We're just about down to the battle finale! Virus has come back and boy is he glad?
Max: Dude, he's going to pay for killing TK like that! Kick his ass, Kari!
Coral: You have my full support, girl!
SSJ4T: With that said, have a happy holiday and get ready for Christmas, unless you celebrate Hannukkah. Nonetheless, a happy holiday to all!
Coral: And a happy New Year! -
SSJ4T: We're not even finished with November…
Coral: I know but I want to bring joy into the holiday.
SSJ4T: Until then, we're out! Peace!

The Nightmare is Reborn! Hope and Love Shall Overcome Virus!
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Outside of Tokyo, Japan. War Games Venue
There is an evil presence felt amongst the Digi-Destined. This evil presence is just as strong as ever, perhaps even stronger. Yes, it was the evil presence of Virus. The monstrous artificial has now made his return and has now come from the dead.
The Digi-Destined and the digimon all looked on in shock at which they were seeing right before them. It was none other than Virus himself, and back in his fully evolved form. Electric circuits flow through his newly reconstructed body.
Silphymon, Shakkoumon and Dinobeemon all stare in disbelief at Virus. The same reaction comes from Imperialdramon, Omega X, Metalla X, Leomon, the ultimates and Seadramon. Celesta X was the most shocked out of everybody. Virus simply grins over towards them
"What's wrong, Digi-Destined?! Surprised to see me?"
"Virus! You bastard! Look what you did to Dimitri! You won't get away with this!"
Angemon X laid sprawled on the ground with a gaping hole through his chest, after being blasted by one of Virus' deadly beams. He wasn't able to move one inch of his body ever since.
Mummymon's group simply whimpers on in fear and confusion. Now they were all forced to endure the living nightmare once again. They had thought that all of the threats from Virus have ended but not for long. Mummymon was even about to crap in his pants.
"Virus… Virus is back and he's alone this time! There's no sign of the other warrior that went with him!" exclaimed Bill, "What happened to that angel warrior who disappeared with him?! Virus is both incredible and horrible to behold! His strength is beyond our imagination! Ah! Why am I still doing this?!"
He had just noticed that his microphone was still broken and lowered his head in embarrassment for making a clown out of himself, when he knew that his mike wasn't working anymore.
"What the hell do you want from us, Virus?!" exclaimed Metalla X, "You killed my son, you freaking monster! Damn you! What else do you want?!"
Virus simply just laughed at Metalla X and looks right over towards the whole group, who were now staring him right down. He could easily sense their fear.
"Nothing. I have everything that I need now."
"Huh?! But he's… He's… He's supposed to be dead!" cried out Silphymon.
"How did he come back from the dead?!" Dinobeemon exclaimed.
Thoughts were running through the Metalla X 's mind. The warrior growled under his breath and could only watch Virus with a mixture fear, disbelief and anger.
"You took my brother and my son away you bastard!"
****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Domain
There was an argument ensuing between Gennai, X, and the great guardian himself. They were discussing of how Virus could have possibly survived the explosion.
"How is Virus still alive? We were positive that he had died in the explosion along with TK!" said Gennai.
"I don't know how he could have survived the explosion, but he did," X stated promptly. "Which means the fate of the two worlds are still in jeopardy!"
"What?! Even after we tried and putting all of our effort into elaborating that plan of Kari finishing off Virus, all going down the drain?!"
"I'm afraid so, Gennai. X brings a good point," Azulongmon replied. "We underestimated Virus' abilities. We should have known that he has the power to regenerating his entire body even after such an enormous explosion and it seems TK's sacrifice was futile as well."
"No! Damn it!"
Gennai clenched his fists angrily and could only stand around hopelessly, since he alone does not have the power in defeating Virus one on one. Azulongmon looks over towards him and lowers his head in shame, knowing that Virus has enough power in destroying his kingdom, as well as the other guardian's kingdoms.
****************************************************************************************
Other Holy Beast Realms
Elsewhere, Zhuiqaomon was witnessing the unexpected return of Virus through one of his digital cores. Even he could not understand to how he could have survived but knew very well that his kingdom might soon be vanquished by the artificial's awesome power.
Just then, the fiery phoenix turns around to see a large, two-headed turtle with a tree on his back approaching him. The turtle speaks to him with a Scottish-like accent.
"Hey there, Zhuiqaomon! How's it hanging over here in the southern region? How is the fight between Virus and the Digi-Destined?"
"Terrible. I'm afraid, Ebwoumon. Virus has managed to survive the explosion! He's back and stronger than ever! I don't even think that the Digi-Destined have enough power in defeating him! Looks like this maybe it.."
"No, it couldn't be?! Say it isn't so, Zhuister!"
"I'm afraid so. It looks like we'll have to be sealing the final chapter in the history of the two worlds. The day of the apocalypse has now come at hand."
"No! We're all doomed!"
"Wait! Unless the child of light can pull off yet another victory like the last time, right?"
"I'm afraid that the Digi-Destined of Light in her fusion form doesn't have enough power to make Virus even flinch this time around. I am sorry."
Ebwoumon could only gasp and think of what Virus could possibly do if he were to successfully finish off the entire Digi-Destined group this time around. Maybe they have lost faith in them. Or perhaps, they fear of what Virus could possibly do with his newly regained powers of destruction.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Back at the War Games site, Virus simply chuckles to himself as he notices the look of fear among the faces of the Digi-Destined and the digimon.
"Ahhh, you thought that you had me defeated after that explosion right? You thought Takeru had done me in already! Well too bad! I'm alive! But I don't think the same can be said for Takeru."
The fusion warriors watch him silently, still in shock over his unexpected turn from the explosion that could have very while killed him if he wouldn't have regenerated himself.
"Surprised?! Well, I'll tell you what happened. This was quite unexpected, and a lucky turn of events," said Virus, "Inside my brain, there is a lump or nerves."
He taps on his head as he speaks in order to signal where in his head the lump of nerves that he was mentioning about.
"It is my nucleus, so to speak. As long as one nucleus is not damaged, I can keep regenerating my cells and data. Thus I can recreate my whole body. You see? I can't die! It is impossible! Even if I self-destruct, I will always come back!"
[Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays]
Flashback
Inside the realm of the dark dimension, War Angemon was holding onto the bloated Virus as much as he could to possibly stop him from blowing himself up. War Angemon tries not to attack him, since he could easily just set the bloated beast off and cause a shockwave in order to make him explode.
"I'm not going to let you detonate, Virus! I will return home to see Hikari and you can't stop me from doing so! You're time of terrorizing the two worlds is over!"
Just then, Virus screams as he begins to bloat up once more and quickly explodes. The surrounding dark space was now reduced to slag and nothing more was left, except tiny particles and sparks from the explosion. Amid of the remains of the explosion float the remains of Virus.
"My nucleus was able to survive the explosion. I didn't even know such a thing could happen. It was quite unexpected."
The nucleus was floating around and pulsating to some unknown reactions. It was still very much alive and that was all that was required to regenerate the once invincible monster. It pulsates and quickly begins to expand. From the nucleus, Virus' fully evolved body began to emerge. It slowly takes form. When the process was complete, a reborn Virus floats in the middle of nowhere while panting.
"Yes, it was totally unexpected. I couldn't believe that I was able to regenerate my whole body."
Virus then clenches and unclenches his fists.
"But that wasn't all. Oh, it wasn't."
Virus began throwing punches and kicks at the air around him. He stares out into nothing and then slowly, a smile forms across his face.
"And to my greatest delight, I had my complete power… intact!"
Virus threw his arms up into the air with his fists clenched and quickly raised his ki level. A bright blue light explodes around his newly regenerated body, then it fades and then it returns. Lighting quickly run up across his entire body.
I had my fully evolved body back, even without Sonja within my system. This is not just the 'fully evolved body' that I used to have. It is now a fair more powerful one, just as powerful as Celesta X. It's probably due to the fact that I have the data and cells from the digimon and the Digi-Destined alike, which makes me stronger after every battle. Also, you can thank for the power of the crests that all dormant within my being. Furthermore, I also inherited War Angemon's ability to open up portals and there you see me right here back to one hundred percent of my reborn power!
Virus placed his hand out and then shoots out a beam towards the middle of the dark dimension's spaceless environment. He watches as the portal way into the digital world was reopened and he flies right through in order to find the exact dimensional door that leads to the exact location of the War Games site location.
End of Flashback
["Tear Away" ends]
"And there you have it. You can say that I'm new and improved. I should really thank you Taichi, for allowing myself to exploit the inner depths of my true power. You allowed me to exploit you're Time Warp technique and now I can use it to transport myself to other digital worlds. I should also thank Hikari and Takeru for pulling off such a stunt to drag me into that dark dimension. Too bad that Takeru isn't still alive to see at what I'm now about to do to you, Digi-Destined. Now wants a shot at me? Anybody is allowed to take me on right now. Which one of you cowards wants to be the first to join Takeru?!"
Omega X watched in shock. Metalla X's eyes widen in size, and were getting narrow. He quickly clenches his teeth and growls angrily under his breath.
Just then, Celesta X clenched her fists and looks towards Virus once again with eyes full of hatred. She growls under her breath and screams out with rage. Then her ki level begins to quickly increase as her anger has now reached new heights. She loved TK and wanted the chance to be with him after this fight was over but now Virus has taken that away from her. He took away her closest friend. The other Digi-Destined look right over towards her with shocked expressions.
"Kari! No! You're going to get yourself killed!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"You don't scare me Virus!" cried out Celesta X.
Celesta X's ki continues to grow as dust and rocks fly about around her. She smiles which catches Virus by surprise.
"What's so funny?" asked Virus.
"I'm happy."
"Happy?"
"Yes. I'm happy because you're back so that I can take revenge upon you for killing the man I loved. I wanted to kill you myself, Virus…"
She quickly clenches her fists and growls under her breath once again.
"THIS ONE'S FOR TAKERU!"
Virus growls angrily and faces towards Celesta X. The rematch was now about to take place once again. Metalla X looks right over towards Celesta X in shock. Omega X was just as surprised to see his own sister reacting to this, and he was beginning to think that Kari was now going to do next. Kari has now regained her sense and was going to take this fight seriously.
"Hm. I don't know about that, Hikari. I doubt you can even lay a finger on me. This time I'm playing at a whole different level. Are you to the challenge?" replied Virus.
Silphymon holds his arm up in front of himself, and Omega X leans away from the two and the wind they're generating. Imperialdramon whimpers lightly, and Metalla X was still stunned. His eyes suddenly narrow and he turns toward Virus, and then he gasps and his eyes widen again as he turns back to the fallen body of Angemon X. Dinobeemon and Shakkoumon, too, stare down at Angemon X' body.
Mimi was lying beside Angemon X and crying over his dead body. There were streams of tears poured down from the young girl's eyes and realizing that her future son was killed.
"On Dimitri! No! Please don't die! You've done so much to help us! I wanted to thank you ever since we first met after you came and informed us about the artificials. Thank you for everything, but just don't die. We have to get out of this nightmare together, along with your father, Matt. We all have to pull through this together…"
This really hit Metalla X in the head and he had realized at how much of a jerk he was and the way he had treated Dimitri during these past few days leading up towards the War Games. He never saw Dimitri as an equal of his and he refused to believe that he was his son. But now, reality had just come back to slap Metalla X right in the face.
Just then, Angemon X gag and coughs up some blood before dying. Mimi pressed her head against his chest and let out more tears. Metalla X had seen enough and everything goes black in his mind. The entire area turns black except for himself, Dimitri and Mimi. These three are supposed to be the happy family to be in the future. But now, that future may have very well been shattered as a result of Virus' relentless onslaught.
"What have I done?! I treated Dimitri like crap, when he did everything he possibly could to get my attention. I should have been there as a father. I should have comforted him. But, it was Mimi doing all of that. Well, its time to make up for everything. It's my fault that TK is dead. It's my own fault that TK and Dimitri are dead! Well no more! I won't take this anymore! Virus has pushed me too far! He's mocked the legacy of the Digi-Destined, destroyed my honor and now has taken away two members of my own family! That's it! No more,"Matt said to himself in Metalla X's thoughts.
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Just then, Metalla X lets out a loud scream as he quickly powers up his ki level. The other Digi-Destined all turn to see him flying out. Mimi gasps as she watches on Metalla X flying right out towards Virus.
"Avenge Dimitri, Matt! Kill that bastard,"Mimi said to herself with a determined look on her face.
Metalla X quickly powers up and his body glows with a blue metallic aura. His eyes were so full of rage and vengeance. Virus could only look on with a shocked look on his face. Celesta X watches as Metalla X rushes past her.
"VIRUS! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FUCKING BASTARD! NOW DIE!"
Metalla X screams and throws a ki blast at Virus. The ki blast flies forward towards the evil artificial. Virus' eyes narrow and he hunches over. The blast hits. Dust gets thrown about into the air. Imperialdramon shields his head and shuts his eyes. Omega X, Leomon and the ultimate-leveled fusion warriors are in the same position. Wind and dust fly past Angemon X and Mimi. Mummymon's group screams and ducks back down behind their rocks. Celesta X stares out at Metalla X and the huge cloud of dust in front of him.
As a way of getting back the vengeance that he was looking for, Metalla X screamed and throws a barrage of ki blasts into the cloud. The cloud grows and grows as explosion after explosion goes off inside. And still, Metalla X's attack continues. There was no sight of Virus anywhere around the cloud now.
"Whoa! Take it easy, Matt! You're going to end up destroying the Digital World that way. But I understand if you want revenge after this creep killed TK and Dimitri! Go for it! Do it, Matt! Kick his ass!" Tai exclaimed in Omega X's thoughts.
Even Bill the reporter was getting into the action and shouted out his commentary through his still-broken microphone.
"A fierce new battle is raging on, ladies and gentlemon!"
Just then, he looks right down at his mic and noticed that it was still broken. He then throws it down onto the ground and stomps his feet away in frustration.
Celesta X stared out silently while Omega X grunts and gasps amid the flying debris.
"Ugh! Just what the hell do you think you're doing, Matt?!" exclaimed Imperialdramon, "You putting too much force into those attacks! Stop it!"
"The whole planet can't withstand this much abuse of power! It could blow any moment now!" cried out Silphymon.
"We're going to have to stop Matt!" Sora exclaimed.
Metalla X's attack finally concludes. He lifts into the air to watch the dust settle, panting heavily. Rocks rain down on the area.
"Grr! Matt this isn't the way to avenge Dimitri and TK!" Dinobeemon said angrily.
"No kidding! He's lost it!" said Joe.
"Matt! You have to stop this! Let Kari finish this!" shouted Izzy.
"Shut up and let me do this my way!" exclaimed Metalla X, "Virus! I, Metalla X, the warrior of friendship, will be the one that destroys you once and for all! It's payback time! This ones for TK and Dimitri, the two people I consider my family!"
With that said, he throws his head back and screams as he raises his ki a bit more, then begins another ki blast assault. The cloud begins to grow once again.
The Digi-Destined all could only look on with shocked amazement when seeing Metalla X throwing many attacks without even wasting his energy supply. Celesta X could only look on and let Metalla X take all of the glory this time around.
"Maybe Matt does have this one in the bag! Thus far, he's taking it to him,"Kari said in Celesta X's thoughts,"C'mon Matt! Do this one for TK and Dimitri!"
"I'll make sure you never piece yourself back together again, Virus! Do you hear me?! You will die by my hand!"
Finally, after a minute or so of ki blasts, Metalla X finished his attack. His aura fades away and he hovers above the cloud, breathing heavily. He stares down into the dust and debris below him. Everyone stared at him silently. Mummymon and Bill duck-and-cover.
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
Metalla X shoots out a huge, powerful ice beam and sends it hurtling towards the thick cloud. He watches as it quickly approaches the cloud and causes a huge explosion. Metalla X starts panting and watching, as the cloud of smoke was getting bigger. He watched in anticipation and waited if Virus was going to come out to attack or not.
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
Just then, Celesta X gasped and looks right up at the cloud of smoke. Metalla X looks up as well and gasps when he sees a familiar figure flying right out from the smoke. It was Virus and there wasn't even a single scratch on his artificial body, which even surprised Metalla X even more.
[Metallica "The Unforgiven" plays]
"What? You said you were the warrior of friendship that was going to end my reign of terror?! Wrong, it's over when I say its over!"
With that said, Virus quickly smashed Metalla X into the ground. Metalla X grunts and stares up at Virus and then he quickly loses consciousness and lies on the ground with his eyes glazed over. Celesta X gasped in utter horror.
Bill the reporter and Mummymon quickly whimpered under their breath as they looked on with total fear.
"I'd like to go home now," remarked Bill.
"Will this nightmare ever end?" asked Mummymon.
Virus flies down towards the ground and looks right over towards the fallen body of Metalla X. The evil artificial grinned, staring down at Metalla X, who struggles to get back up. Right behind Virus was a passageway; it looked like a direct doorway through another world. Virus hovers right towards it and blocks out the passageway.
"Hold on a minute! There's a passageway just behind him! I wonder where it directs to?" pondered Izzy.
"It's the dark dimension of the digital world!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
"Ken, you've actually been there?" asked Michael.
"Yes and there I was corrupted by the powers of darkness. If Virus allows himself to enter that dimension, then he will gain the power that he was looking for. He will then destroy the two worlds that way. We have to stop him at all costs!"
"But we first have to save Matt!" exclaimed Omega X, "The time for talk is damn sure over!"
Virus looks right down towards the fallen Metalla X and a smile forms across his face. Then it becomes more of an angry look as he points his fingers right towards him.
"And it's over now, Yamato! Die!"
As soon as he said that, Virus shoots out a blast over towards the fallen body of Metalla X and watched it near right towards him. Celesta X takes notice of this and quickly flies right over towards Metalla X. The beam goes right towards her and shoots her right in the back. An explosion occurs as the blast hits Celesta X and then a large cloud of smoke now covered the area that she and Metalla X were laying at.
Omega X and the other fusion warriors gasp as the force of the blast pushes them back further away. They soon realized that even one blast from the newly charged up Virus was strong enough to knock them off of their own feet. They then try to shield themselves from the incoming debris flying right towards them.
Mummymon's crew once again takes a trip through the air. Mummymon flies into a boulder, Bill is pushed on top of him, Boltmon crashes on top of Bill and Arukenimon crashed on top of Boltmon, and then Skull Mammothmon smashes into all of them. Their eyes were literally bulging out due to Skull Mammothmon's bony skeleton body. He might be nothing but bones, the strong weight still managed to crush them.
Back over to the spot, Virus looks down at the cloud of smoke in anticipation. He was shocked to see Celesta X flying in to save Metalla X from being blasted into oblivion. He watches as the dust begins to clear away and sees the two fusion warriors piled up on top of each other. Celesta X was on top of Metalla X with a bloody arm.
"Why would Hikari make such an honorable sacrifice in protecting Yamato?! Hmph. I can never understand the minds of these humans."
Just then, he watches as Celesta X slowly rises up onto her feet.
"Ha! Look at them! They're so weak!"
Celesta X does not take too kindly to this and sits right up to face towards Virus. She holds up one fist with her good arm while letting her injured arm hanging. Virus takes notice of this and smiles at the now injured Celesta X. He could now tell that some of her own ki energy was depleted after being blasted.
"So, I see you're still just as stubborn as ever, Hikari. You're just like you're brother. You're too thickheaded to accept a defeat. Let's end this."
"Oh no! Her energy has decreased! Kari! No! Get away from there! You're not as strong as you were before!" exclaimed Omega X.
"Huh?! She has to get away from there now!" shouted Imperialdramon.
"This doesn't look good whatsoever. First TK, then Dimitri, then Matt and now Kari?! Kari is partially injured, but even she needs to realize that she is no match for his newly reborn Virus," said Dinobeemon.
"Ugh! It's hopeless! What are we now supposed to do?" asked Silphymon, "Don't tell me that this is the end for all of us!"
"I'm afraid to say this, but Ken maybe right," said Leomon, "There's nothing left for us to do. Virus has this War Games won," replied Sora.
"No! This can't be happening! After all we had to endure?! No! This is not the way it should end,"Tai said to himself in Omega X's thoughts.
"This is crap! There has to be something we could do and standing around is not an option!"Davis exclaimed in Imperialdramon's thoughts.
Celesta X glared right over towards Virus, who was now standing right in front of the passageway door into the dark dimension.
Virus smiles and brought his arms out right in of him, wrist-to-wrist, hands forming a cup. Celesta X gasps. He brings his arms back to his side.
"Hikari! This is it! It ends here!"
Celesta X stared at him in fear and disbelief. Virus's hands starts to form a large ki of energy and it slowly starts to form into an energy-like ball. Virus slowly backs into and through the passageway and his energy ball forms into a much bigger ball of energy. But instead of the energy being purple or blue, it was now pure black. Black as darkness, which quickly indicated evil power.
"First, I'll destroy you and you're friends. After that I'll destroy this retched human pothole called Earth and find my way to the Digital World. Just remember this before you die, Hikari: I will live forever!"
But what could possibly be causing Virus to form such a powerful form of negative energy this quickly? It has to be the dark energy from the dark dimension itself. The entire Digi-Destined group all gasp in unison at the incredible power that Virus was quickly building up within his being while forming such a powerful attack. Celesta X could only stand there with a shocked look on her face and wondering when Virus will unleash his energy attack.

Matsuki Residence
The boy was looking on pleadingly with his father. They were at a stake of shock at what they were viewing. The battle had a twisted turn of events. Takato held his fists up and cursed towards the artificial.
"Dad, I hope that girl recovers! Virus can't be allowed to win!"
"I don't know what to say son, but…"
"No! We have to believe in her! There's no way she's going to lose to that creep! The whole world depends on her!"
"Takato…"
"I for one will not stop supporting her. These guys are my new heroes and I wish to become one with them one day."
"Oh Takato… Who knows, you just… might…"
"You think so?"
"I'm going to stop doubting that girl. I'm behind her all the way."
"That's the way, dad. I knew you'd change you're mind. C'mon, you can do it! Believe in yourself!"
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Celesta X. Her arm is badly damaged and her ki has slightly depleted because of it. Virus was preparing to deliver the final blow.
****************************************************************************************
Nonaka Residence
The red-haired girl smashes her fists on the kitchen table. She was beginning to lose faith for Celesta X after Virus made his unexpected comeback.
"C'mon! Get up! You have to prove to me that a girl can fight to become stronger! I need you to convince me. Now get up and stand up to this guy! Quit doubting yourself! If it was me, I'd go all out and no hesitate to end it!"
***************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
A huge power level increase was now taking place at the site of the War Games, and it was down in overtime so to speak. Now Virus was about to unleash a very powerful energy blast that could very well destroy the two worlds. Not to mention, he was able to open a passageway into the dark dimension. He could now harness this dark energy and use it to his advantage.
Celesta X could only look on with horror as Virus was quickly powering up his energy blast within the palm of his hands.
[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Virus laughs maniacally as he turns toward Celesta X. A huge grin formed right across his face.
"It was nice knowing this world, Hikari! But I hate to leave at such short notice! I'm going to blow this world up and then I shall move on to the Digital World and destroy it with my new dark energy! You'll be gone and so will everyone else!"
Just then, Virus' ki starts to generate strong winds all around him. Celesta X just stares out at him in fear, and not knowing when to attack. She was now partially injured from her right arm and half of her energy supply was quickly depleted ever since she got blasted by one of Virus' beams.
"Damn! I can't do it! Virus is too strong for me to beat right now. Takeru. Brother. I'm sorry, I can't beat Virus anymore."
She then lowers her head in shame and knowing that her life was now going to end at the hands of the evil artificial, but so would everyone else's lives. Those being digimon and humans alike.
"I could have done it if I hadn't been so arrogant!"
The winds blow dust around Metalla X and Mummymon's crew.
"It's a trick! It's got to be a trick! It has to be!" exclaimed Mummymon.
Just then, Bill pushed Mummymon away as he continues to announce the proceedings of the showdown that was soon turning into a living hellhole.
"How can I describe this, ladies and gentlemon?! The wind is just incredible! It feels like I'm standing in the middle of a typhoon! You might not be able to hear me, digimon and humans alike, but I'm going to continue reporting anyway!"
The wind then blows him and Mummymon right off their feet and flying right back into several nearby rock walls.
"How could this happen?! I have become a burden on a young girl! TK… Dimitri… I'm sorry… I've failed you… Mimi… I'm sorry… I'm supposed to be the one that avenges your deaths! I'm your flesh and blood for god's sakes! Takeru! Dimitri! I'm sorry!"Matt exclaimed in Metalla X's thoughts.
He looks right up towards Celesta X with a ashamed look on his face. he then speaks up and tells her something that he has been wanting to say after all of these years.
"Kari… I'm sorry… I'm sorry… For what I have done… Please avenge TK and Dimitri's losses."
Celesta X gasped and looks right back at him with s shocked look on her face. She then turns away and faces towards Virus with an determined look.
"Don't worry, Matt. I will avenge their losses! You have my word on it, but how when I'm in such a critical condition with his nearly paralyzed arm?"Kari said to herself in Celesta X's thoughts.
Dust started to pick up around the Digi-Destined and the fusion warriors, too. They were about to be thrown back by the wind's mighty force but they held their balances in order to anticipate of what Virus will do next with his awesome energy.
"Kari… Oh no! The Earth is about to go boom!" exclaimed Imperialdramon, "It can't handle this much amount of force forever! It's going to eventually give out!"
Sonja remained unconscious in Imperialdramon's hands. Even she has no idea of what is going on, but its better off for her not to know at this very moment. Omega X throws his head back and screams with anger.
"DAMN IT! I feel so powerless now! I don't have enough energy to combat Virus' dark energy!"
As Celesta X can do nothing but look on, Virus continues to power up his enormous attack, and the dust and debris swirling around the area more violently than ever.
****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Realm
Suddenly, the skies within the realm of the guardians were starting to darken from the negative energy that was entering from the dark dimension itself. Perhaps, Virus is looking to use this dark energy to destroying the not just Earth but also the Digital World. It looked as though if the villain were placing atomic bombs into every sector of the Digital World: those being east, south, west and north.
Just then, Gennai takes notice of the skies above and blinks with total shock. X stood his ground and flew out to scope the Digital World's situation. Gennai looks over towards Azulongmon and goes to ask him a very important question.
"Oh no! Did Virus open up the dark dimension?! If he has, the whole Digital World will implode like a ticking time bomb! Not even with your powers along with the three other guardians, would you be able to block away the negative energy. It would be too great for you all to handle."
"Yes, that is why even with the power of the digital cores, we will not be able to vanquish the darkness until the gateway is sealed up. Then once it's sealed away, we guardians will wipe out the remaining darkness that has managed to sneak in and start to plague the digital world's pure environment. However, it will be up to the Digi-Destined's to pull off such a drastic move."
"I just hope they're really up for that. In case you didn't notice, Virus has blocked that gateway himself. They're going to have to fight them in order to close it up."
"Which won't be easy, but we should be able to put all of our faith on them. We have to, or else the real world will cease to exist. Followed by that, Virus will move on and destroy the digital world."
"Damn! If only, the child of light could have finished off Virus as she was told earlier! But you're right, this is like overtime and cards are stacked. But they're now most definitely in the favor of Virus now."
"C'mon, Kari! You have to quit this self-doubting and finish Virus! It's the only way to restore balance to both worlds!"
****************************************************************************************
Other Holy Beast Realms
Elsewhere in the Southern region, Zhuqiaomon watches the battle taking place through one of his digital cores. He looks over towards Baihumon, who was looking to seek some answers from the fiery phoenix bird.
Just then, a dark shadowy cloud forms in the skies above their region. The three guardians take notice of this and gasp in fear.
"Zhuiqaomon, what does this mean?" asked Baihumon.
"We all have a bad premonition. What is happening to the Digital World? Is it on the verge of extinction?" Ebawumon asked.
"Yes. It is what we feared. The evil being known as Virus is not on the verge of destroying our precious world. This is unfortunately the end for all of us. I'm sorry, my fellow guardians."
The other two gasp in shock and look right towards each other. The guardians even feared for the worst to come, and the destruction of their worlds may soon come at hand.
***************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Back at the War Games site, a huge dome of golden light surrounds the battlefield. Virus was still powering up more negative energy from the dark dimension's unlimited power and using it to form a powerful energy blast that has enough power in destroying one entire world. He begins laughing while powering up.
"Its amazing of how fully evolved I have become! Even I can't believe myself! This must be the fully evolved body that Datamon was seeking."
He looks right over towards Celesta X and has a sadistic grin on his face. Then he looks right back at the past few events that have taken place during his development.
"But now. Only now, do I understand what Datamon meant by "Full Evolution!"
Flashback
Many years ago in another future alternate time period, lighting strikes around the laboratory of Datamon. Inside, Virus grows inside a tank full of green liquid. Datamon worked and typed away at his "brain" computer. Just then, an elevator descends, and both artificials Sonja and Jax step right off. They both walk right towards the busy Datamon.
"Master Datamon, how long are you going to be working on the secret project of yours?" asked Jax.
"Leave me alone! That's my business, not yours!" snapped Datamon.
"We're strong enough to kill Omega X, aren't we?" asked Sonja.
She then walks right past a tank full of some kind of clear translucent liquid. Jax pulls out the blueprints for Virus, knocking lots of other lab equipment onto the floor. He unrolls the blueprints.
"Hey, look at this, Sonja," said Jax.
"Don't touch that! What I'm building is the ultimate artificial weapon!"
This catches Jax by surprise as he quickly drops the blueprints onto the floor and points to himself.
"Ultimate artificial weapon?! Is it better than us?!"
"Leave me alone! This one belongs to a whole new level. Compared to him, you two would look like toaster ovens! Now return to your capsules and get some sleep, or I'll activate the controller again!"
Datamon goes and reaches out for the deactivation device. Sonja smiled and then knocked over one of the tanks of the clear liquid substance, and it falls onto another and more get knocked down onto the floor. They crash and the glass spills all over with floor. Datamon growls angrily and quickly jumps to his feet with the device in his hand. Jax jumps forward and decapitates Datamon. The machine's glass helmet shattered on the floor. Lighting strikes outside as the brain and Datamon's body bounces to the floor. He looks right up at his creations with eyes full of hatred and vengeance.
"Idiots! Eventually, you two are going to be absorbed by him and become apart of the Ultimate artificial weapon!"
"Ha! He's pretty cocky for a dead guy," remarked Sonja.
She then blasts him with a single finger blast and that spelt the end for Datamon once and for all. A bubble then rises from Virus' tank. The two artificials stand right in front of the tank.
"Hmm, interesting. It's pretty tiny," said Sonja, "This is the Ultimate artificial weapon? Datamon must have been crazy."
Jax puts his hand out right in front of the tank, but doesn't blast it.
"Sorry little guy, but we don't need this lab anymore. Bad memories…"
The heavy metal doors outside the lab swing shut. Jax flies away and then Sonja follows him in pursuit. She looks down at the lab.
"Let's trash this piece of shit!"
"I'm with you on that, sis."
Once in the air, they shoot two ki-blasts each and blow away the lab within a matter of moments. Nothing was left of the laboratory but piles of rubble and metal hinges.
"But Datamon's computer kept the incubator alive until I was ready to emerge from my long sleep…"
"Virus, you're body consist of the cells and data from dozens of the greatest fighters in both worlds. Digimon and humans alike. But you must absorb both Sonja and Jax before you can achieve the fully evolved body."
The tank explodes and Virus' insect-type larva walks away. Virus stopped and the shell cracked open. A white figure emerges, and as color comes to the figure, its turns into the Original Virus.
"I emerged from the lab several years later. By this time, Jax and Sonja had already destroyed everything in the two worlds."
The two worlds, both real and digital, laid in ruins. Virus' shadow looms over a ruined city, and filling his shadow are images of frightened humans and digimon.
"So I absorbed all the surviving humans and digimon for energy and kept growing, but I couldn't achieve the fully evolved body. Both Jax and Sonja were nowhere to be found. I had to have the fully evolved body. So to reach Sonja and Jax, I reverted to my larval form and snuck into a dimensional pod traveler from an abandoned company and went back ten years to arrive here."
"Come on, you damned monster! Come and get me!" exclaimed Jax.
Just then, Virus slowly rises out of the ground behind him. Virus then laughs hysterically and maniacally.
"Here I am! Behind you!"
Jax gasps and spins around as Virus' tail swings down and engulfs him. Virus laughs even more as Jax struggles with all of his might, but can't get free of the tail. Virus undergoes his first transformation.
Sonja then puts up a futile struggle against Second Form Virus as he slowly approaches her, smiling. His tail fans out to absorb her.
"Damn you!"
She leaps forwards and attacks him with everything she had left, but Virus easily dodges her assaults. His tail swings down over her and sucks her right in. Virus grins as Sonja is fully swallowed up. Then Virus becomes fully evolved. Lighting strikes around the island and the green dome of light expands outward from the center.
"I've achieved the fully evolved body! But I didn't know that there was something else that I could achieve. Datamon's dream, ultimate power. But now I know that I can achieve it."
Virus' lump regenerates the fully evolved body.
"Datamon's ambition was not just to defeat Taichi and the Digi-Destined nor destroy the two worlds. It was to create the ultimate power that could conquer the entire universe. I only realized that now. I can keep regenerating myself forever. All I need is a little piece of nucleus, and just like the digimon data does, keep becoming stronger whenever I face death."
Virus stood amid a black background. Images of Leomon, Omega X, the angel digimon, Metalla X, Myotismon, Devimon, the Dark Masters, and Burizalor all fly through him.
"After taking the data and cells from Burizalor and the rest of you, I now have the fully evolved body! I turned out exactly as Datamon planned all along.
End of Flashback
Virus looks right back towards Celesta X and begins to concentrate on more of the negative energy from the dark dimension itself. He would use it to his advantage and use it on the entire planet.
"I hadn't originally planned on destroying this world, nor the digital one, but now I can't help it. In ten years, the two worlds will have been gone anyway. Having learned War Angemon's ability to open portals and Omega X's teleportation, I have nothing to worry about from blowing this world up. How fully evolved I am… I'm beyond my imagination. Yes! That is my destiny! I am the universes' end!"
Celesta X glares at him as the monster's ki blasts continues to power up and feeding on the negative energy from the open portal into the dark realm. The wind blows and thunder cracks. Even though she's still unconscious, Sonja screams as Imperialdramon looks down at her, and then back up into the darkening skies.
"Damn! Is there really nothing we can do now?!"
Omega X screams angrily and clenches his fists. His plans had now all gone down the tubes as far as destroying Virus was concerned. He would now soon face death itself in a matter of moments. If losing TK and Dimitri was bad enough, the loss of the two worlds is even much worse.
"Is this really the end?!" asked Mimi.
The digimon watch in fear while Angemon X lies there as dead as a log. Mimi held into him tightly and covered him to prevent his body from flying due to the strong winds.
Virus once again laughs and watches as more dark energy was flowing right passed him and into the Digital World itself. He began feeding upon it as if it were an addiction.
"My energy is reaching a strong level to destroy the entire solar system now!"
He then clenched his teeth and stares right over towards Celesta X.
"Virus is preparing to attack again! Strange lights and mysterious energies are emerging from within him!" exclaimed Bill as he gets blown back a few feet away.
"It fells like the whole Earth is shaking! I don't understand!" shouted Arukenimon.
"Trick! It's a trick! It's a…"
Just then, Arukenimon bonks Mummymon in the head and turns away from him angrily as if she were getting fed up with his complete arrogance.
"You call this a damn trick?! We're all going to die here! This is no trick!"
****************************************************************************************
View of Earth
The Earth was now entering a period of crises at this very moment. The skies were darkening and earthquakes were starting to become a worldwide concern. People now began to scream and panic. The ground shakes, people run to escape. Children stop and start to cry their heads off. But they were all taken away into nearby shelters. Winds blow everything around; even highways start to sway with cars about to fall off.

[Perfect Cell's English theme plays]
Back at the battle site, Celesta X stares right over towards Virus while clutching her injured right arm. She now fears for the worst to come. She then watches as the portal opens wider and now the dark realm itself surrounded them all.
"What's wrong, Hikari?! Does this frighten you?! This is the world of darkness! Something you deeply loathe and now I'm brining it back to use to my advantage!"
"Do it already. I know there's nothing I can do to stop you. You won, now end the pain…"
Celesta X then shuts her eyes and then prays without cupping her hands together, in order to show Virus that she isn't going to show any weaknesses.
"Takeru, I'll soon be with you…"
"Hmph! Such a pity! I expected a much more climatic cry out of you. This is rather boring, isn't it? I'm glad that it's over, though."
Just then, the black ball of ki forms in the palm of his hands. Celesta X looks out towards her adversary.
"This is it. This is the end," muttered Celesta X, "Both worlds will be destroyed."
A bright light engulfed the entire passageway in which the battle was taking place, with a bright speck of light from the battlefield itself. If this massive blast of energy were to destroy the barriers between the digital and real worlds, it would spell Armageddon.
Just then, Celesta X could hear a voice from her head. A very familiar voice, from that of a young boy. She could easily recognize it.
"Don't give up, Hikari! Digi-Destined never give up! Um, Kari?"
Celesta X looks up into the air and looks around her surroundings. She could tell that it was from TK, but she couldn't see or even feel his presence.
"T… Takeru? Where are you?"
"I'm within the Digital World, just around the realm of the four Holy Beasts, but not quite close. Patamon is with me. We're kind of like in Digimon heaven now. It's pretty neat here."
"Really?! You aren't dead then!"
"We are, but only temporarily. They will decide to when Patamon and myself will return back home. After all, we died as data and not as flesh and blood. As it works to our advantage, but any who, you're the strongest warrior out there now, Hikari. Give him you're best Seven Heavens Beam ever! You can do it. I believe in you! And Tai believes in you!"
"But… I can only use my left arm now, and I feel my power draining away."
Omega X stares out with wide eyes and looks right over towards his sister. Imperialdramon looks up into the sky. He then looks right back to Omega X.
"Who's she talking to?" they both asked each other in unison.
"Hmph! Look! She's already lost her sanity in the face of death! How hilarious!" remarked Virus.
"Everything will be alright. Trust in your own power, Hikari," TK said telepathically.
Celesta X nodded in agreement and a smile forms across her face. She looks back towards Virus with a determined look on her face.
"I understand now. Thanks, TK!"
She turns right towards Virus and gives him a determined glare.
"I'll do my best!"
With that said, she pulls her left hand away from her dead right arm.
"I'm doing fine up here. Patamon is keeping me company and I'm sure you'll be doing fine down there."
"Good luck, Kari! May the force be with-"
"Patamon! What did I tell you about ripping off lines?"
"I'm sorry, TK. It was my fault that you died."
"Hikari, don't be sorry. I may have died, but whenever you think of me, I'm always with you. And Tai is there with you. Don't forget that."
"But…"
"Get revenge for me! Defeat Virus for me, our friends and the two worlds!"
"Oh! I will! I intend to do so!"
Her aura quickly returns and she begins to raise her ki level. Virus' eyes widen a bit at what he was looking at.
"Hmm?"
"Kari?! Whoa, she's actually doing it!" said Omega X, "She's back in the game now!"
"She's going to try again?" pondered Imperialdramon.
Celesta X holds out her good arm and begins to chant her most powerful attack.
"SEV…"
She then pulls it back to her side.
"EN! HEA! VENS!…"
Virus grinned at what he was looking at and was quite impressed. He was now more than ready to see what she was truly capable of.
"So you're going to die fighting after all?! That's more like it!" exclaimed Virus.
They watch each other, with both of their auras expanding out and when they hit, they both explode away.

The trio watched the showdown between the two fighters and was now waiting in anticipation for Hikari's next move.
"What's happening, Azulongmon?" asked Gennai.
"TK rallied up Kari through telepathically and now she will use the final depth of her true power to bring down the monster threat known as Virus!"
"This is guys!" X exclaimed. "This one's for the fate of both worlds! Hikari has come back to her senses! She's going all out!"

The strong wind generated by the two fighters caused great side effects to their surroundings and this didn't suite well for Mummymon's group as its tremendous force quickly threw them back. Virus laughs hysterically.
"Damn! It's no use!" exclaimed Omega X, "Kari! Do it! Unleash it!"
"Her ki level isn't as strong as Virus'," said Dinobeemon.
Virus and Celesta X both scream as their ki continues to rise to whole new levels of power.
TK and Patamon watch on from the unknown world through a floating orb right in front of them.
The black ki ball in Virus' hands expands and then he shoots it right out towards Celesta X with the boost of energy from the surrounding dark realm itself.
"NOW DIE! POSITRON LASER!"
He shoots it our and it is sent hurtling along the ground as it goes straight for Celesta X. Celesta X screams and launches her attack straight forth towards Virus'.
"SEVEN HEAVENS BEAM!"
Celesta X pushes at her Seven Heavens Beam with the "help" from War Angemon, standing by her side. The two angels were now working together in ending this reign of terror and are hell-bent on doing so.
With the help from the spirit of TK, Celesta X is as determined as ever as she unleashes her most powerful attack upon Virus! But will even that be more than enough to defeating this artificial demon who is hell bent on destroy not just the two worlds but the entire universe as well!

A Million Points of Light: Virus' End! Takeru's Noble Decision!
Miles outside of Tokyo. War Games Venue
There was a huge power struggle now taking place between the two single most powerful fighters in two worlds. Those two being Celesta X and Virus! Their power levels have gone up quite drastically ever since Virus came back from the explosion. And the fate of the two worlds is indeed at stake here!
If there was going to be one battle that truly determines that fate, it would be this one. All of the past battles that have taken place, from the battle on File Island against Devimon to the current conflict with Virus today, this marks as the so-called grand daddy of them all. Only one winner will come out of this alive and at the same time, determine whether the two worlds remain intact or be destroyed forever. This was it! The final showdown between the forces of good and evil!
["Beat Hit!" plays]
The two energy beams were hurtling straight towards each other as they ripped alongside the ground with their tremendous force. Virus watches his Positron Laser going right for Celesta X, but Celesta X wasn't going down without a fight as she shoots out her Seven Heavens Beam and countered the powerful energy laser. The attacks were now colliding with one another in a mighty struggle. Strong winds and lots of flying debris were now becoming more increasingly common.
"Its too dangerous here, even for us megas!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"I agree! I say we hightail it out of here," said Dinobeemon.
With that being said, Imperialdramon, carrying Sonja, and Dinobeemon flies right off. Then, each of the digimon and their Digi-Destined partner followed alongside of them. Lillymon picks up Angemon X's body and carries him off towards the cliff where the others were going to be sheltered at. Mimi looks right over towards Metalla X, who was still sprawled onto the ground and watching the energy clashing.
"Matt…"
Metalla X turns around and looks right over towards Mimi. He was looking at who may very well be his future wife. Their eyes locked onto one another. Mimi's hair was blowing along with the strong winds.
"Mimi… Go… Stay at Dimitri's side…"
"Please… Come with us… You're just going to get killed if those blasts come near you… Please I beg of you…"
"Mimi…"
"Please Matt… After all… he's our son…"
"Fine…"
With that said, Seadramon comes down and picks up Metalla X using his mouth and picks up Mimi. Michael then orders Seadramon to head over towards the cliff in which they would meet up with the other digimon and Digi-Destined.
Omega X looks out towards the battlefield with a proud look on his face and then he flies off towards the cliff to meet up with the other Digi-Destined.
Back on the battlefield, Virus and Celesta X continue to power their blasts at each other. The charged up-Positron Laser and the Seven Heavens Beam now meet up in a huge ball in the middle. The meeting point grows much to large and begins to carve away into the ground, where half of it resides. Virus and Celesta X both growl as they force more ki into their blasts. The two blasts begin to expand, and everybody screams as they all flee from the growing blast point. The increasing winds throw them all off. They lose control of their flight, going where the wind takes them, but still manage to land safely on the cliff.
Mummymon hugs onto a rock in order to remain in his place and prevent him from flying away. Arukenimon screams her lungs out. They fly through the air
Virus and Celesta X continue to battle it out and pushed more ki into their blasts. The digimon all watch on from a safe distance on top of a far off cliff.
"They're destroying the entire are around them!" exclaimed Shakkoumon.
"Damn! I can't believe this! They're powers are extraordinary," Omega X said.
The boulder carrying Mummymon's crew smashes into the ground, and they scatter around it. Bill manages to sit up.
"There's no where to escape to. Huh?! The ground is exploding and breaking up all around us! This is the end, everyone! Goodbye! Goodbye!"
Mummymon whimpers behind the boulder for protection as he continues on rambling on.
"It's all just special effects! A trick! A trick! I'm going to find out how they're doing this trick!" exclaimed Mummymon.
"Ugh! Why are you still saying that stupid thing?! We're all going to die and thats all you can say at this very moment?! Ugh! I can't believe I have to put up with you!" exclaimed Arukenimon.
["Beat Hit!" ends]

Now there was a large amount of debris rising into throughout the heavens worldwide. People scream in fear and confusion. Buildings start to collapse and cars crash. One man begins to call out to express his thoughts.
"Judgment Day has begun! This is the end of the damn world!"
*****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Realm
The great guardian, the masked warrior and Gennai were still observing the battle and were hoping that Kari will come through out of this predicament alive.
"Virus… Virus is attacking with all of his power,"Azulongmon said to himself,"But Hikari's power is not as strong as Virus'! The Digital World is breaking up! And soon Earth will be as well!"
"C'mon, Kari! You'll have to push harder! This won't be enough to put that creep away! Don't hold back! Give him everything you have!"
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
During the struggle, TK's voice still encouraged Kari through in order to make herself more confident and stronger. Kind of like a cheerleader, but in this case, to rally Kari up.
"Hikari! Hang in there! You're going to make it through!"
"You're doing well, Hikari! I'm quite impressed!" exclaimed Virus.
The artificial puts more power into his Positron Laser, and his blast begins to gain ground on Celesta X. Suddenly, Celesta X is barely in a position to defend herself, much less attack Virus.
"She's no match for him!" exclaimed Omega X, "No! C'mon Kari! Please!"
"She's losing it!" Silphymon cried out.
Virus chuckles under his breath while keeping his main focus on Celesta X and putting more ki energy into his Positron Laser.
"This is it! I'm going to end you!"
He puts even more power into his attack, and Celesta X's Seven Heavens Beam is barely able to hold it back.
"Here! If you really want the stakes to even be much higher, allow me to open up the doorway between the real and the digital worlds!"
With that said, Virus screams and a energy cloud emerges out of his body. The cloud shoots right out into the dark skies and slowly it starts to open up. An image of the Digital World is shown and the darkness starts to enter through that passageway.
"He… He just ripped open a hole through our world and into the Digital world!" exclaimed Joe.
"Not good! It looks like he's going to plague both worlds into darkness before he destroys them!" exclaimed Dinobeemon, "We should have seen this one coming!"
"Wow! You're a fast learner, Ichijouji!" Virus cries out. "You disappoint me, Kaiser! I thought you would learn of my diabolical scheme by now! It's such a shame you won't live long to witness the death of you're precious planet!"
Virus laughed maniacally as he powers up his blast and goes to push it right through Celesta X with all of his might, but must counter the Seven Heavens Beam in order to do so. But he would now have the upper hand since the negative energy from the dark realm's environment would plague the two worlds during this power struggle.
"Yes, in a matter of moments, both worlds shall be mine!"
Celesta X grunts and growls under her breathe as she struggles to repel the Positron Laser. She was more distracted with the fact that the darkness was spreading into the real world through the passageway that Virus just opened. In her mind, she was at a complete disadvantage until TK continued to rally her on telepathically.
"What's wrong? You can become more powerful than this,"TK exclaimed.
"I can't, Takeru! I've reached my limit. After all this, I'm still just a useless crybaby! I've always been a crybaby! You don't need a crybaby like me. My brother tried to push me as hard as he could to make me achieve this power and he succeeded. But I just don't want to let him down. I haven't changed at all."
"Hikari, you know that's not true. You're brother and myself want you to win this battle and defeat Virus! You may not remember, but you saved our lives many times before. You even saved mine when Burizalor tried to kill me. Each time, you've surprised me. You can do it again, Hikari! Concentrate and use all of the power that you have left!"
Virus takes notice of Celesta X talking to "herself" and a smile forms across his face. He figured that she has already lost her sanity altogether.
"What in the blue hell are you mumbling about?! I hope you're already saying your prayer before you die!" remarked Virus.
"You can do it, Hikari!"TK exclaimed.
"Win this for the team!"Patamon said.
With that said, Celesta X forces more power into her Seven Heavens beam, and she pushes Virus' Positron Laser back so that they return into a stalemate struggle. The Digi-Destined and the digimon all watch on from the cliff. Now, Celesta X's Seven Heavens Beam begins to overtake Virus' Positron Laser, but only slightly.
"Incredible!" exclaimed Sora.
"How can she create such an enormous power?!" asked Garudamon.
"Hikari… You can do it," Imperialdramon said.
Omega X stares silently into the battle with determination and high hopes that his sister uses her deep powers in finishing off Virus once and for all.
Celesta X clenches her teeth and growls, struggling to overtake Virus' Positron Laser. But Virus would not take any of that and would soon gain back his much needed momentum.
"You fool! How many times do I have to remind you that I've achieved the Ultimate power with this fully evolved body?! You can't beat this super weapon!"
He then puts more into his blast and it returns back into a fifty-fifty struggling standoff. Now Virus' Positron Laser continues past the fifty-fifty standoff, and, suddenly Celesta X is struggling just to repel it once again.
"Oh no! Hikari!"
Celesta X still struggles with the Positron Laser.
"Ah. I understand now. Hikari, you're worried about hurting the Digital World, that's what is holding you back."
Celesta X suddenly gasped and was stunned to realize that TK knew about her weakness. Her main weaknesses was definitely being too softhearted and not wanting to hurt others.
"Don't be concerned about that. We can fix the damage with the Digital Cores. Just concentrate!"
"But TK… How? I don't like to hurt anything that's not our enemy! Other than that, fine, I know what I'm supposed to do!"
Virus simply laughs at Celesta X and decides to take advantage of her being momentarily distracted at the very moment.
"Go, go go! You go to hell, Hikari!"
The Digi-Destined all watch on in shock, but the digimon were now more than ready to help out Celesta X as much as they could.
"Kari! No! Don't let your guard down!" snapped Omega X.
He stared out at the blast duel, and at the young fusion warrior behind one side of it.
"Hang on, Kari! I'm going to help you!" exclaimed Omega X.
With that said, he rises his ki and flies off towards the battle.
"Tai! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" shouted Imperialdramon.
"How can he help Kari?" asked Shakkoumon.
Omega X flies past the ki duel and right behind Virus. He stops and screams, then throws a large ki-blast at Virus. The Blast had absolutely no effect on the charged up artificial. Virus looks back.
"What?! Taichi?!"
Omega X stares down in shock.
"Don't interfere, Taichi! This is not you're battle! Go away!"
Without even turning around, he throws ki back at Omega X, and he is thrown away, screaming.
"No! Tai!" TK exclaimed.
"BROTHER!" cried out Celesta X.
Just then, Omega X slowly recovers, lying at the end of a long ditch. He was completely thrown back quite a few yards away from the ki struggle. He looks back towards the struggle.
"Damn it! No!"
As soon as he stands up, his hand starts to glow with ki in it.
"Hi… Hikari…"
Metalla X watches from the cliff with Mimi at his side. He could only look on and let Celesta X take on Virus herself. He then looks right over towards Omega X.
"Tai is down! I've got to help them…"
"Why did he do that?! He couldn't do anything to help!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"I think Tai knew that," said Dinobeemon.
"What?!"
"What do you mean, Ken,?" asked Silphymon.
Just then, ki starts to radiate over Dinobeemon. This quickly caught everyone by surprise and was about to stop Ken from pulling off such an act. Imperialdramon turns to face Dinobeemon.
"Don't tell me you're also going down there to fight him! Fat chance, Ken!"
"He's right. You're going to get killed if you go down there!" snapped Silphymon.
"Davis. Yolei. This doesn't just revolve around Kari. It involves each and every one of us. Besides, I just can't wait here and let that creep kill us," said Dinobeemon.
"I guess a true Digi-Destined wouldn't accept death in battle huh?" asked Shakkoumon.
Dinobeemon looks over towards them and nods in agreement. He then turns to face the battle that was ensuing between Virus and Celesta X.
"Right, even if its certain death, I will die trying."
Silphymon nods in agreement and stands at his side. They then turn towards Imperialdramon.
"Davis, take care of Dimitri for Mimi please," said Silphymon.
"You're going too, Yolei?" asked Imperialdramon.
"Duh! Of course! I wouldn't want to miss this for the world!"
The two warrior's auras flare up and they set off flying towards the battle. Imperialdramon stands there watching on. He then turns around and sees Shakkoumon about to fly off. His aura flares up as well.
"You too, Cody?"
"Yep. This involves each and every one of us, Davis. Remember that."
With that being said, Shakkoumon goes flying down towards the battlefield in order to lend the others a helping hand. Imperialdramon nods his head and looks right down towards the fallen Sonja.
"They're all crazy! Isn't that right, Sonja? It's nice to see that you're alive, even if it was just a brief moment. You take care of yourself, babe."
Imperialdramon's aura flares up and he goes down to join the others in the battle. Metalla X watches them all fly down, and then soon he looked to see Garudamon, Lillymon, Zudomon, Leomon, Seadramon and Altur Kabuterimon joining them.
"Them?! What do they think they can do?"
"C'mon, Kari! You can do it!"TK exclaimed through Kari telepathically.
"So, you're still there! I'll finish you off!" Virus shouted.
["Target Akai Shougeki plays]
Suddenly, Omega X screamed out with determination. Virus is hit in the back with both the Fist of the Beast King and a Terra Beam from both Omega X and Leomon. Omega X continues to drive the beam right into Virus. The others, including the other fusion warriors, all arrived to give Leomon and Omega X the backup they needed. Shakkoumon was the firs to attack.
"Justice Beam!"
"Static Force!"
"Hells Masquerdae!"
"Positron Laser!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Horn Buster!"
"Ice Blast!"
The digimon's attacks all flew right towards Virus and hammered him in the back, but he only managed to phase him for a temporary moment. Celesta X turns to see the digimon giving her the helping hand that she was looking for.
"Tai! Davis! Yolei! Guys! Thanks!"
"Kari! Try harder! You can do it!"TK exclaimed.
"TK!"
The digimon attacked and ki blasts all continue to drive straight into Virus. This only further infuriated the evil artificial even more as he turned to face them with an angry look on his face.
"You pesky insects!"
Metalla X quickly clenched his fists tightly and looks right over towards his friends, who were battling Virus and using everything they have in order to momentarily distract him.
"So, Digi-Destined! You really do want to die, first?!" Virus shouted, "All right then! You should have just simply asked!"
With that said, Virus easily knocks them away with the force of his aura. Celesta X takes advantage from here and then powers up more ki into her Seven Heavens blast. The force of the blast pushes Virus back a bit.
Omega X recovers slowly and looks back out towards the power struggle taking place right before his very own eyes.
"Kari… Sister… I'm not going to let you down. I trained you to reach this level of power… I'll never forget. Now I'm going to return the favor to you! I will sacrifice myself if I have to… to show how much you mean to me… Mom will kill me if anything were to happen to you… I promised her that I would return with you…"
Imperialdramon slowly sits up laughing to himself. He laughed because he was facing certain death in the face and Davis wouldn't be the type to lie down in shame.
"Kari, I always thought you were such a pretty girl with a pure heart. But whew, I never expected your fusion form to look as hot as that. I've always been jealous because TK was always with you, but now I understand you two are more than just friends. I never wanted TK to die and now I will help you as much as I can! I'll stake my life!"
Silphymon and Dinobeemon slowly get to their feet. As soon as he was up, Dinobeemon resumes where he left off. He shoots out a ki blast. Silphymon follows suit and does the same.
"Kari! You were one of those people who helped me return to the old innocent boy. If it weren't for you, I'd still be the Digimon Kaiser. But I thank you and I want to repay the favor for you, Kari. You understand the powers of darkness as much as I do. Looks like I'm not alone…"
"Kari! I always thought of you as an oddball, but you truly are a friend. We may have opposite personalities, but we do share the same hatred we have towards the powers of darkness. You've become the strongest fighter and you're Celesta X form sure rocks! It's about time a heroine saved the day."
Shakkoumon was the next as he quickly stands up and shoots out yet another Justice Beam.
"TK! We won't let your death be in vain! We're going to give it all we got! Virus will lean not to underestimate the power of the Digi-Destined. You and Kari make a great team. I've always looked up to you TK. I'm proud to have known you both."
Metalla X stares down at his fist angrily. Mimi gasps when she sees ki radiating from his body. He quickly flies off towards the battle.
"Matt! No!"
"I'm sorry! But I have to do this!"
"Matt! No!"
Just then, Izzy gasps when he noticed something on his laptop. He opened a file and it showed a view of the entire earth glowing with millions of lights worldwide.
"Whoa! Wait a minute! There are lights coming from all over the world! Check this out you guys!"
They all turned to look over at the computer and watched the entire earth glowing with lights of some sort. Just then, the Digi-Destined noticed that their digivices were glowing the same light.
"What's going on here?" asked Joe.
"Its the power of our digivices! And if those lights belong to digivices, then they realize that Virus is about to plague Earth with a shroud of darkness! They realize that they have to combat the darkness! This maybe our lucky that we have been looking for! Point your digivices up everybody!"
One by one, the children held up their digivices and watched as streams of light started to penetrate into the skies above.
"It's… working," said Sora.
"Yes and look! We got more lights coming in!" exclaimed Mimi.
Out of nowhere, there were now streams of light coming through the darkness from the earth and making their appearance onto the surface of the dark realm. Virus takes notice of this and growls angrily.
"What the hell are these lights coming from?! Ah! It must be those Digi-Destined from Earth! So, the whole world knows of my presence! Good! Now I can destroy you all with just one shot of my blast! It will soon be over for all of you!"
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" exclaimed Omega X, "Your reign of terror ends here, Virus! This is the end of the line for you!"
"Ha! I highly doubt that, Taichi! I am the fully evolved warrior with no equal! I shall see that every one of you annoying Digi-pests rot in hell! You hear me?!"

The entire International Digi-Destined all cried out as they let loose more powerful streams of light and watched as the light entered right through the doorway through the darkness and into the dark realm itself.
****************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
Virus watched as the streams of light enters through and momentarily distracts him. As a result, it causes the artificial to become even more infuriated of the distractions. Virus looks back to the digital warriors behind him, driving ki blasts into his back.
"Get away from me you pests!"
"Kari! Try harder! You must beat him!" TK exclaimed telepathically to Kari.
Virus knocks away the digimon again. Silphymon and Dinobeemon slide through the dirt just as Imperialdramon takes their place. Sahhkoumon and the other ultimates bounce away and Omega X arrives to fill in for them. Omega X and Imperialdramon fire simultaneous ki blasts.
"One after another… This is bullshit! Don't you ever learn?! You must be begging to die!" Virus exclaimed angrily.
Metalla X suddenly screamed and powers up into his maximum power level.
Celesta X continues to feed her Seven Heavens Beam with more energy, but Virus slowly gains ground on her. Omega X and Imperialdramon scream as they drive their ki blasts into Virus. Silphymon, Dinobeemon and Shakkoumon recover and resume firing ki blasts, too.
"You pests, nothing will stop me! I'll destroy you!"
Imperialdramon screamed, while the others grunt. Finally, the whole digimon group gets thrown back again, screaming. The tremendous force of Virus' power was now incredible and not even a powerful mega such as Imperialdramon could possibly penetrate through the barrier beam now.
Virus laughed while powering up his energy blast. His Positron Laser begins to overtake Celesta X's Seven Heavens Beam again. Celesta X's feet slide back through the rocks and dirt.
"Oh no, TK! The ground is breaking apart! This could be it!"Patamon exclaimed.
"No! Not after everything we had tried! We can't lose like this!"
The ground around Celesta X and Virus begins to crack and rock fragments lift into the air. Skull Mammothmon, Boltmon, and Mummymon hang from the edge of a newly formed crevasse.
Omega X sits up and looks over towards Celesta X with a saddened look on his face. He then pounds his fists on the ground with sheer anger.
"Kari…I'm not going to give up! Not now!"
"I'm sorry, Tai. Sorry, TK. That was the best I could do," said Imperialdramon.
"I'm sorry," Shakkoumon said.
*************************************************************************************
View of the Real/Digital Worlds
The digimon were all down and they have no more energy to help combat off Virus' barrier. Now they were helpless to even help Celesta X at this very moment. Even the streams of light from the digivices of the International Digi-Destined weren't even helping any. Virus was back in complete control and he could feel the ground around him cracking. The Digital World was now about to go off like a bang.
Even the four guardians couldn't believe. They felt tremors of earthquakes increasing throughout the scared realm. This was a clear indication that their world will soon be destroyed.
**************************************************************************************
War Games Venue
"No! Digi-Destined! You can't let him win!" exclaimed Gennai.
"C'mon, Kari! Try harder! You have to end this now! End it!"TK exclaimed.
"But I can't… I've lost a great deal of my power… if I push on anymore energy, I could end up killing myself!"
"No! This is not your best, Kari! Tai told me that your powers were extraordinary! This isn't it! You got to show it to us! Let your power explode!"
Virus smiles a sadistic grin and looks right over towards Celesta X. He then begins to speak as if delivering the final message to her once and for all.
"Say goodbye, Hikari! The Digital World is no more!"
With that said, Virus pushes back on his Positron Laser and watches his attack overtake Celesta X once again. She struggles with every fiber in her body and attempts to use the last of her strength to push more energy into her Seven Heavens Beam. Virus laughs hysterically while his power begins to overtake Celesta X's with tremendous ease.
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Just then, out from the sky, a metallic blue ki-blast comes flying down as if it were a shooting star and nails Virus right in the side of his chest. Virus felt the impact and then began looking around to see who had hit him. Then he looks right above him and sees none other than Metalla X sitting in the sky panting.
Virus growls angrily and turns towards him as if he were going to go kill him and just leave Celesta X hanging out to dry, which was a mistake he will never forget.
"Damn you, Yamato!"
"Now it's your chance, Hikari!"
Celesta X looks out as if she were a deep trance but then she quick regains her senses. She screams out and shoots out her Seven Heavens Beam, pushing in more energy into it. A huge explosion occurs and the beam quickly overtakes Virus' Positron Laser. Virus turns his back and watches the beam penetrates right through his perfect body.
"No! This can't be happening!"
Celesta X pushes back on her Seven Heavens Beam and watches it starting to kill Virus. The beam was too much for the evil artificial to handle and he let out his last screams.
"Ahhh! SHIT!"
Celesta X concentrates on more of her energy and pushes the beam right through Virus and watching his body slowly starts to decompose. His once fully evolved body was disintegrating right before her very own eyes.
"Impossible! I'm… supposed to be… the fully… evolved being! I'M PERFECT!"
The blast then starts to disintegrate the whole body of Virus down to his very nucleus. Even the last single nucleus was quickly vanquished and the last remains of Virus were no more. The enormous ki blast continues into the realm of the dark realm, where it dissipates.
Just then, the entire dark realm slowly was giving way as it was quickly sucked right back in through a dimensional portal door. It was no more and the Earth was quickly returned to normal within an instant. The passageway that opened up into the real world was now closed up.
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
Celesta X sits panting in the sky, her arm still held out. She quickly lowers her power level and separates into her separate entities, Kari and Gatomon. They both fell to the ground. But the power of the D-3 managed to catch them in time and lay them onto the ground with proper care. Omega X watches with wide eyes.
"He's gone… I don't sense Virus' ki anymore!"
"Is he really dead at last?" asked Imperialdramon
Silphymon and Dinobeemon support each other with an arm over the other's shoulder.
"It looks like it," replied Dinobeemon.
He and Silphymon watch, smiling down on the two. Kari was barely managing to lift a smile on her face.
She did it! Kari did it! Man, I could use a long vacation after this," replied Silphymon.
"She beat Virus for good this time and the last of his nucleus is no more," said Shakkoumon.
The fusion warriors and the digimon all land around both Gatomon and Kari, smiling at him. Kari lies on the ground, eyes shut, breathing heavily, but smiling. Gatomon was asleep right on top of her human partner.
Mummymon' s crew lies strewn about on the ground.
Izzy and the others were all celebrating about with their arms up in triumphant and the children were cheering along at the accomplished battle that has now taken place. Virus was no more.

Patamon and TK were nodding to each in approval with smiles on their faces.
"It's finally over, TK," Patamon said.
"Yes and it's about time. Kari, I'm so proud of you. You saved the two worlds. You truly are a hero much like you're brother."
***************************************************************************************

Kari smiled, still recovering from the battle. Images of her and TK appear transparent over the both the Earth and the Digital World, now safe again.
Everybody is smiling down over Kari and Gatomon, who were both exhausted from the fight against Virus. A smile forms across the face of Kari as wind was now blowing against her face.
["Bokura no Digital World" plays]
"Kari! You did it! You beat Virus! I can't believe you pulled it off, sis!" Omega X exclaimed, "You've made us all proud."
Metalla X stared down silently while levitated in the sky. His was for Dimitri and TK. His very two loved family members killed at the hands of Virus. But he was glad to see that Kari was the one who put him away for good.
Imperialdramon leans over towards Kari with a smile on his face. He holds out a fist and gives her a thumbs up.
"Thanks, Kari. You really saved us there. You saved both worlds. You really came through. You really did it!"
Kari laughs weakly and slowly lifts her hand up in order to give Davis a thumbs up as well.
"This time around, Virus is really dead," said Dinobeemon, "Your battle… We…"
"You saved the Digital World once again," said Silphymon, "And you even did it without the help from our digivices."
"We were surprised that you didn't have to be healed," Shakkoumon said.
Kari laughs, and Omega X looks right down at her. Silphymon kneels right in front of Kari and scoops her up in her arms.
"All right, let's go," said Silphymon.
Leomon scoops up Gatomon in his arms and nods over towards the other digimon.
"Thanks, Yolei," Kari muttered.
"Just get some rest," said Silphymon, "You're going to need it."
Just then, Kari quickly loses unconsciousness and passes out.
"Ah! Kari," exclaimed Imperialdramon.
"Don't worry about it," said Altur Kabuterimon, "She's been through a tough battle and it taken a great deal out of her."
"I'll bet. She used the majority of her strength while powering up that last attack," said Garudamon.
"Whatever you say," said Silphymon, "I'm sure Kari is fine."
"Well then, I'll just have to go see if Dimitri is alright. I don't think Mimi can carry him," Dinobeemon said.
The insect digimon goes to retrieve the fallen fusion warrior.
"Uh… Yeah… I'm going to go check on Sonja as well," Imperialdramon said.
They all watch him with strange looks and then he stops to turn to face them.
"Umm. Because, you know… Virus took quite a toll on her…"
He runs off, laughing nervously. Silphymon and Dinobeemon jus stand there with confused looks on their faces.
Omega X looks right back towards Metalla X, hovering nearby in the air. The two best friends and rivals have a bit of a stare down. Just then, Zudomon's voice calls out to him.
"Tai! Let's go!"
"You guys go on to Azulongmon's realm. You'll find the nearest digiport through a satellite close by. Azulongmon will help beam you guys up to speed."
"All right."
The digimon all fly off along with the other Digi-Destined, as they headed off towards the realm of the Azulongmon to seek some answers to their questions: mainly concerning TK's whereabouts. Imperialdramon goes and follows them while carrying along Sonja.
"Hey Matt. Virus was quite a nuisance for you."
"He was… unbelievable. I was powerless… Leave me."
Omega X simply just smiles and turns away to follow the other Digi-Destined.
"Fine. See ya."
He then jumps into the skies in order to follow the other digimon and Digi-Destined.
Metalla X sits alone in the sky, reflecting on the entire battle that took place just a few moments ago.
"He's always ahead of me… That bastard… Damn you, Tai!"
He slowly clenches his fists angrily as the thought of Omega X becoming stronger comes to his mind.
"How come you always surpass me?! First, you surpassed me when we fought in the Digital World. Again, you've surpassed me. This time it was through your own sister. She too has managed to surpass me."
He then quickly recalls the last few seconds before War Angemon teleported Virus away through a portal. He unclenches his fists and begins to recall his brother's death.
"Oh, TK. I should have saved you. It's my fault that you and Dimitri died. But don't worry; I will make it up for you guys. I promise."
Metalla X sighs to himself and then goes flying off into another direction, where we chose not to follow the other Digi-Destined, but chooses to think about of the things that he has done.
Mummymon stares out at the former battlefield in shock. He then gasps at the rubble and the devastation left behind from the battle.
"W-w-w-hat the hell happened here?!" exclaimed Mummymon.
Just then, some small rocks fall and Mummymon quickly spins around. Behind him, Bill the reporter lies sprawled over. Bill sits up and looks around.
"Oh? Oh? Oh? Its so quiet.."
He then looks right behind himself.
"Oh-? Mummymon! What wonderful deed did you do to get rid of him?!"
Bill runs up to Mummymon and he turns around to face the reporter with a confused look on his face.
"Huh? What?"
Ted recovers while rubbing his head and looking over his camera and noticed that it was still running. He peered into it and stopped it's filming.
"It certainly wasn't one of those digimon who destroyed Virus, wasn't it?" asked Bill, "Am I right?"
"Um, sure. Whatever you say."
"I mean, it would have made you a fool, if you weren't the one who defeated Virus, right?"
"Uh huh. Sure."
"So, what happened to Virus? What about Virus?"
"Huh? Uh, V-V-Virus, wel… Oh! Oh! Oh! I got rid of him, of course!"
Mummymon began to laugh hysterically and then looks right over to Bill to see if he hadn't made a complete idiot out of himself.
"So what do you think?!"
"Oh?! Is that true?!"
"Sure, why wouldn't it be?!"
"I beg to differ!" exclaimed Arukenimon.
"What's that?" asked Bill.
"I saw the whole fight and I clearly saw that Mummymon was hiding behind a rock while crapping in his pants! He didn't do diddly squat. I saw that warrior woman finish off Virus herself! So, if you want a true story, you can take mine and send it straight to the bank!"
"No! Don't believe a word that she's saying! You should never listen to a woman! They try to-"
Just then, he gets smacked across the face and sent flying through into a nearby rock wall with a huge welt across his face. Arukenimon shakes off her throbbing hand.
"So, is the side of you're story the true one?" asked Bill.
"Of course. Spiders never lie."
"Hey! You guys better take a look at this!" exclaimed Ted, "I got the footage during the last minutes of the battle. In fact, I must agree with Arukenimon. The footage clearly shows us that the angel woman did in fact beat Virus."
"So, is the audio working? I need to make this announcement!"
"Yeah, your mike should be working by now…"
"Great! So, are you sure that your telling the truth, Arukenimon?"
"Of course I am! Just make the blasted announcement!"
"Of course! Of course!"
Bill grabs his mike and goes to make his announcement through his production truck. He turns on the camera view and then faces towards the camera as he prepares to make the announcement.
"Our precious audience and everyone on Earth and those tuning in from the Digital World! It's finally over! We return victorious again! Please remain calm! People of Earth and Digimon of the Digital World, everything is fine! Behold the angel woman who came to our rescue!"

Worldwide view of the Real/Digital Worlds
The two worlds began to cheer and celebrate in unison as they watched the final footage of the last moments of the War Games, including Celesta X's final blow to finally destroying Virus once and for all.
"Whoa! That chick sure can pack a punch!" exclaimed one man.
Then someone else spoke up through the roaring crowd, "She sure is the best! Thanks to her, we're all saved!"
The two worlds began to cheer and celebrate as if it were New Year Day all over again; in fact, it was going to be New Years the next day. So double the celebration is a good thing!

Kamiya Residence
After regaining their transmission, the couple watched their daughter put the ultimate end to Virus and his perfect body. Mrs. Kamiya began to cry happily as Mr. Kamiya held onto her tightly.
"Yes! My baby girl did it! She did it!"
Mr. Kamiya nods in approval and watches the final blow to Virus through the television.
"My kids are growing up so fast..."

Nonaka Residence
The red-haired girl nods her head in approval and overhears the announcer's rambling of the post-coverage of the War Games.
"We shall continue this post-coverage of the War Games. Thank the gods that a miracle has come in the form of this angel woman and put an ultimate end to the personification of evil himself. We'll be right back after this…"
"Good. She pulled through. Now she's convinced me that a girl can succeed in this world. All I need is something to occupy myself with and I will be the best. Nothing will stand in my way."

Takato jumped around in celebration over Celesta X's grand victory of the War Games. He has now grown to like Celesta X and proclaims her as his new hero.
"Whoo-hoo! Yes! I knew she could do it, dad!"
"I really thought it was over, but she really pulled through. Thank the heavens she did."
"Whoever you are, I'm thankful. You led me to go out and make my dream come true. I hope to meet you someday, angel woman."
As soon as he said that, the held the drawing pad with a sketch of a dinosaur. The dinosaur has a hazard sign on its chest. A bright smile forms on the boy's warm, innocent face.

Mysterious Heaven World
Patamon and TK walked along a pathway leading into the realm of the heavens as they were discussing the final battle.
"Yeah and thanks to your advice, Patamon. I wouldn't have been able to contact Kari like that if it wasn't your idea. Thanks."
"Hey, what are friends for?"
Patamon lands on top of TK's hat and smiles down at him happily. They both smile to each other.
****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon's Realm
X, Azulongmon and Gennai turned as the Digi-Destined all arrived just in time to see them. Silphymon walks up towards Azulongmon and places Kari on the ground. Leomon then goes over and puts Gatomon next to her human partner.
"So, they seek to be revived? Very well. Thank you for coming on such short notice," Azulongmon said, "Don't not fret child of light. The power of the Digital Worlds shall help you spring back up onto your feet in no time."
Azulongmon lowers his head and a digicore comes flying down over the two fallen heroes. Azulongmon concentrated on his power and unleashes a healing beam over both Kari and Gatomon. Kari and Gatomon's eyes open and slowly start to take focus.
"Kari… Child of Light."
Kari shakes her head and then looks right up towards the towering Azulongmon staring right down at her.
"Azulongmon…"
"I'm sorry to hear about Takeru and Patamon. But they are safely up in another dimension as we speak. It's not exactly a heaven of hell," X replied. "However, they shall be revived as soon as The Gatekeeper decides to let him go and return back. The Gatekeeper has requested us not to revive TK with the digicores. He's simply stated that he has a favor for TK. From there, he and Patamon shall be revived and reformatted, since they died in the Dark Dimension and is technically apart of the Digital World. But it will require some time. I'm sorry but that is all I can tell you as of now."
Kari lowers her head and tears come down her eyes, She then looks right back over towards the other Digi-Destined.
"I'm sorry."
They then all lowered their heads but then Kari smiles.
"Besides I know TK will come back soon. It will just have to take some time. But what we need to do is to revive Dimitri. Azulongmon, you can at least do that, can't you?"
"Yes, Hikari. That shall be done."
With that said, Azulongmon lowers his head and another one of his digital cores comes flying down and heals the near-dying body of Angemon X. As soon as he was healed, Angemon X de-evolved and separated back into his two entities, Dimitri and Patamon.
"Dimitri! Oh thank you! You're still alive!" cried Mimi.
Mimi runs over and hugs Dimitri rightly but Dimitri gagged and was gasping for air.
"Um mom. C'mon, I just came back. Give me a little time to breath."
"Oh sorry."
Mimi let go and allowed Dimitri to breath in. She giggled to herself happily and Dimitri sat there while coughing.
Just then, Sonja's eyes suddenly open and she gasps at the Digi-Destined looking over at her with suspicion.
"You've restored her health," said Imperialdramon, "Thank you, Azulongmon."
"Davis! Hurry and come over here! Come on!" exclaimed Silphymon.
With that said, Sonja jumps to her feet and looked toward the Digi-Destined with caution. Would she be able to trust them, but would the children trust the female artificial.
"Just wait a minute… Wait Sonja!" said Imperialdramon.
Sonja looks back and forth nervously. She was greatly outnumbered, especially with several strong fusion warriors that would easily pulverize her.
"This is Azulongmon's realm. Don't worry. Virus was defeated by Kari," explained Imperialdramon.
"By Kari? She beat Virus?" asked Sonja.
"Yeah. She creamed him," X replied. "You really should be thankful to her."
"That's right! Be careful about what you do! You can't be forgiven for everything you artificials have done!" exclaimed Shakkoumon
"Hey, Cody! Why don't you come a little closer and tell her that yourself," remarked Dinobeemon.
"Good one, Ken," said Silphymon.
"Let me explain, Sonja. Davis knows what he's doing. Still, Virus took many lives," said Omega X.
Sonja looks up at Imperialdramon. Just then, Kari just had a thought and decided to let everybody know of what she had just realized.
"I get it! Davis likes Sonja," exclaimed Kari.
"Um no. It's not really like that," replied Imperialdramon.
"No, Davis! How could you?! You love her?!" snapped Shakkoumon.
"Do you realize that she's an artificial too, right?" asked Silphymon.
"Oh, Davis! You lucky dog," X teased. "You like her. Admit it!"
Sonja looks around. Imperialdramon laughs nervously, Kari giggles to herself. But then Sonja screamed out, as she was now about to speak.
"So?! You expect me to jump into your arms and become your sweet little girlfriend, Davis?! Hell no! I don't think so! It's going to take a lot more to impress me than being my knight in shining armor! Uh!"
With that said, Sonja goes flying off and founds herself a hiding spot for her to think about what had just happened and questioned whether or not she had any right to express her feelings like that towards Davis. Shakkoumon runs after her.
"That woman! Where does she get off talking like that!? I should get you for that!" exclaimed Shakkoumon.
"But you're afraid of her," said Silphymon.
"Ok. Now its time to revive TK with the digital cores, are you ready guys?" asked Omega X.
They all nodded in agreement and were now ready to summon the digital cores and Azulongmon nodded as he lowers his head to activate them.
"No! Wait! Stop!"
They all gasped when they heard a familiar voice. They could easily identify it as being TK's voice.
"Look! It's TK! Can you guys hear him?" asked Kari.
"TK! Is that you?! Where are you?" asked Omega X.
"Please, tell me that it's you," Dimitri said.
"Of course its me! Hey guys! How's everything in the world of the living?!"
"Great. It's so good to hear from you," said Leomon.
"Yeah, but I'm here to send ya'll a quick message. Please, don't bring me back. Cause you heard what Azulongmon said, only the Gatekeeper will decide that fate for me and will let me know when Patamon and myself can return to the living. So, you guys just are going to have to move on without me. Please, it would be better. Plus Patamon and myself can train up here and further expand our abilities of the fusion power. That is our request. Kari, you should be proud of yourself. You defeated Virus and now you're a lot stronger than all of us at this very moment."
"But that doesn't mean I still don't love you! Please… We need you…"
"Hey, you can be fine without me for a while, Kari. Trust me, just move and don't forget about me. And my first promise is that we will see each other again."
"Promise?"
"Cross my heart, Kari. I will keep my promise. Just take care of yourself and let my mom know about everything that has happened to me, all right? I won't be gone too long. The Gatekeeper has a favor to ask me anyway. Please don't forget about me."
The Digi-Destined all stood silently in sadness but then they weren't as sad when TK let them know on how he was doing in the other world.
"Well, its just good to hear from but he didn't seem too sad," said Sora.
"Maybe he wants it this way. And I think we should respect his wishes," said Omega X, "I agree, we should. We all know that he will return someday. But it will requite a little more time."
"I agree. The Gatekeeper must have a really good reason for this," X replied.
"Mmhmm, as long as he's happy, then I'm happy to," Kari said as she looked up into the skies.
Up in the skies above, an image of TK and Patamon were shown waving and smiling.
"I just know that we will be better again, TK. I just hope you live up to your promise. But knowing you, you never let me down," said Kari.
Gatomon smiles and nods to Kari.
"Um… Excuse me," muttered Azulongmon.
Now that TK has decided to stay to help with the Gatekeeper, just how will the Digi-Destined move on with their lives now that the threat known as Virus is over?

Kari: Hey, everyone! It's me Hikari, the saga's newest hero! I really wanted TK to come back. But if he says that the Gatekeeper has a use for him then it mighty is for a good reason. I hope he comes back at least before the New Year begins. Happy New Year, everyone!

Dimitri Returns to the Future! The Artificials' End
Azulongmon's Realm
The Digi-Destined were all gathered over at the realm of Azulongmon, as they had just listened to TK and his final farewell message. But knowing him, they knew that he would eventually return since it will be the Gatekeeper's decision.
Kari looks up into the sky and smiles to herself. She deeply understands that she will see TK again.
"TK, I just hope you keep your promise. I'll be waiting for you."
Azulongmon hovers over his shrine; still waiting for the Digi-Destined to turn their attention back over to him and to see whether or not they need to use the power of the digital cores once again.
"Digi-Destined. Are there any more requests that are willing to be fulfilled through the digital cores? If not, then I will deactivate them and move on. Speak now."
"Hmmm, what should we do?" pondered Izzy, "Its rather hard to decide what to request. We've done pretty much of everything, even reviving Dimitri."
"Hold on! I got one! Azulongmon, I would like to make a request," said Omega X, "Why don't we use the power of the digital cores to restore all the lives that were killed off by Virus in the Digital World. That shouldn't be too hard, right?"
"No. That's perfectly fine. I could have thought of that myself."
With that said, Azulongmon rises his head and the four digital cores lifted into the air. Then they encircled around the giant guardian. The cores powered up and began to glow simultaneously. They then released powerful beams of light and started to spread across the entire Digital World. The light spread over landscapes that were destroyed and villages that were wiped out. Digimon slowly started to become reformatted. Others were sent right back to Primary Village, which they would be reborn as Digi-eggs.
The Digi-Destined watched in awe as the entire Digital World was being returned back to its once beautiful luster, including the restoration of the many lost lives of the innocent digimon.
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a body was slowly being reformatted and when it came into being, Jax was sprawled onto the ground. He slowly rises up and looks around his surroundings. He gasps and touches all over himself.
"I'm alive? But how? I'm in the Digital World? The Digital Cores… They must have done it… The Digi-Destined… But where's Virus? I don't feel his ki level anymore… They must have beaten him… Well I'll be damned."
Just then, he realized that he was alone without the company of Black War Greymon and Sonja.
"Hey, Sonja? Black War Greymon? Where did you guys go? Hello? Aw, this sucks. Oh well. There's no use crying over this. Time to start a new life."
****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon finished up using the power of the digital cores and lowers his head down, as if letting the Digi-Destined know that his job was completed.
"The Digital World should be restored to the way it was before Virus' assault. The lost digimon lives shall be restored."
"Hey! Do you know if Black War Greymon and Jax will be restored as well?" asked Kari.
"I do not have any clue. For they were just merely artificials created in the real world. I have no possible answer to that question. I am sorry."
"Oh, just wondering."
"Wait! I got another suggestion!" exclaimed Imperialdramon, "Can you turn Sonja and Jax into living humans? After all, they were humans before, but Datamon remodeled them for his own selfish deeds."
"Whoa… Davis, are you really serious about that?" asked Shakkoumon.
"Yes! I want Sonja to live the rest of her life in peace! Besides, she's not such a bad person! She can be a Digi-Destined like us if given the chance! Please, can you do that Azulongmon?"
"Unfortunately, that is beyond my power, Davis. I am sorry."
Imperialdramon lowers his head in shame and had hoped to give Sonja a chance to live the rest of her life as a normal human and not have to endure being an artificial puppet. Sonja was hiding behind a column alongside the realm and was shocked at what he had just requested.
"Damn, it didn't work."
"But why did you want Jax to return to the living as a human being? I see that being very pointless!" snapped Dimitri.
"No. Azulongmon had restored the lives of every digital being who were victims of Virus. That means it's possible that both Jax and Black War Greymon were restored as well. But as for the people of earth who were killed, it's a much different story," said Izzy, "We can't change that. The digicores have not yet been upgraded to save lives outside the Digital World."
"Well how about this request then, Azulongmon," Imperialdramon said, "Can you at least take the explosives out from their bodies. I mean you do have magical powers that have that ability, right?"
"Yes and that request will be fulfilled. Just hold your horses."
"I don't even own any horses."
"It's just a form of speech, Davis," replied Kari.
"Aw, cool! I just hope it works!"
With that said, Azulongmon lowered his head and his digital cores were glowing once again. This time, the beams shoots out two lights, one of which hits Sonja as she slowly feels her body changing. Now the explosive device was gone from her chest. Sonja touches her hand, which once revealed a deactivation device, but now it wasn't there anymore. Her explosive device was now gone. A look of shock comes across her face.
Azulongmon then raises his head and the digital cores quickly reattached to his body.
"So anymore requests? Now, it is time for us to move on, Digi-Destined. We thank you for saving the two worlds from devastation. If it weren't for you, Virus would have plunged the two worlds into total annihilation."
"Aw! It was nothing!" exclaimed Omega X.
"We shall now move. Goodbye Digi-Destined and farewell, until we meet again. I shall inform you all when TK and Patamon have completed their task. Keep in touch."
With that said, Azulongmon disappears into his shrine, where he would lie dormant and rest with the threats over and done with. Gennai walks over to the Digi-Destined and congratulates each and every one of them.
Just then, Imperialdramon, Omega X and the other fusion warriors quickly de-evolved back into each of their separate entities. Omega X turns back into Tai and Agumon. Imperialdramon Fighter Mode de-evolving back to Davis and Veemon, and so forth with the others.
"Yay! I'm back to being me!" exclaimed Yolei.
"That was pretty cool being involved in the action," Ken said.
"I'll say! I hope we can do that again, sometime," Yolei replied.
"Ugh. She's crazier than a monkey doing cartwheels," said Davis.
"Or maybe a wombat doing flips," remarked Veemon.
They all laughed together in unison and there was now a sudden happiness returning back. The Digi-Destined were now laughing as hard as they could to get their minds off of the battle that they had just endured. Sonja takes notice of this and realizes that these children were once considered her 'enemy', were not actually bad people than she first thought.
"Hey, Davis. Why did you ask for something like that?" asked Dimitri.
"Well, because I felt it was sad to have a bomb planted inside of her body. I wanted to give her a chance to live with her own free will," Davis said.
"C'mon. Davis, just say it already. You like her do you," snickered Veemon.
"Hey! I didn't mean it that way!"
"Aw. You're such a nice person," Kari said.
Sonja remains behind the column and then lowers her head.
"By the way, why did you ask for the bomb to be removed from Jax as well?" asked Ken.
Davis smiles nervously and looks down at his feet.
"Well, uh, I like Sonja, but don't you think she would look better if she went with Jax instead?"
Tai stands with a grin on his face and he walks right up to Davis. He pats the young boy on his back and smiles.
"You still haven't learned a whole deal about women, Davis. But it will take time."
"And just what do you mean by that, Tai?" Sora asked with a sneer.
"Oh. Um, nothing, really."
Just then, Sonja jumps out from behind the column and calls out towards Davis, which catches the other Digi-Destineds' attention.
"Hey, Davis! You dumb ass! Jax and I are twins! We're brother and sister!"
Davis and Veemon look back at each other and then at her, surprised.
"But don't think I'm getting soft! I'm not going to thank you for removing the explosives! Jerk!"
She turns around, but she still turns her head to look back at him. She was just fuming and now she was looking cool and calm. She stares silently back over towards him for a few moments. But then, she speaks again.
"But… You were nice enough to save my life… Thanks, Davis. I appreciate it. See you, later."
With that said, she turns around and flies away, leaving Davis confused. Veemon pats his friend on the back in order to comfort him and to bring him out of the trance.
"Hey, Davis! She said she would see you later," said Tai, "Maybe you do have a chance."
"But she's a monster, so don't get your hopes up," remarked Veemon.
Davis grabs Veemon and then shakes him around as if he had already lost his mind.
"Are you sure about that?!"
They all laughed and were quite relieved to have a little happy time right after such a harsh and emotional battle just a few moments ago. But now, it was now time for them to move on eventually. Now there was silence among the group.
"Oh. But I'm only halfway happy," said Davis.
"Your right, its just not the same without TK," Yolei replied.
"Well, I'm about to head home," Ken said, "It's getting late and New Years Day is about to take place at any moment."
Ken picks up Wormmon and then looks right back towards the other children. He then waves over to them.
"My mom has to be worrying sick right about now. Bye guys."
"Bye Ken!"
Just then, Yolei runs over towards Ken. Ken watches her running towards him and facing him.
"You know. You could be awfully lonely on your trip back home. Would you mind if I walked with you?"
"But what about you?"
"Don't worry. I got that covered. So long, guys! Hawkmon, lets get a move on!"
"Hold on! My wings don't make me as fast a jet fighter!"
"Oh and Dimitri. You should be strong enough to easily beat the artificials in the future," Ken said, "But let us know if you need our help. We're here for you, buddy."
"Thank you. I won't forget you two."
"Bye, Dimitri!" exclaimed Yolei, "Keep in touch with us!"
Ken and Yolei hold up their D-3s and activate a portal leading through a digital doorway that would lead them back into the real world. They waved over to the other Digi-Destined, and then they crossed through the portal way and were then sent back home in the real world.
"I think we all should be getting back as well," Tai said, "Our families must be worrying. Especially our parents."
"You got that right," Kari said, "But let's first go and see Mrs. Takaishi and let her know about TK."
"Right. That's the first thing that we'll do," said Tai.
"All right, that portal way should lead us directly back into the real world," Izzy replied, "So, we better get a move on before it closes up."
"Goodbye Digi-Destined and thank you. I will remain here with Azulongmon to watch over the Digital World. We will let you know when TK and Patamon will arrive."
"I will stay to help you out in any way possible," said Leomon, "I will protect this realm for Azulongmon."
"Thank you, Leomon. You are so grateful to volunteer," Gennai replied.
They all nodded and waved their goodbyes to Gennai as they all walked through the portal, which would directly lead them back into the real world.
[Hikari's 02 Image theme "Yasashii Ame" plays]
"Ok, guys! This is the beginning of a time of peace! So lets make it count! Digi-Destined rule," exclaimed Kari.
They all cheered while traveling right through the vortex. They all decided to split up and take opposite directions. Tai, Agumon, Gatomon and Kari went to go see Mrs. Takaishi, to let her know about TK. Mimi, Palmon, Michael and Betamon went into another direction. Joe, Izzy, Tentomon, Gomamon, Sora and Garudamon all flew out into another direction. Cody, Armadillomon, Dimitri and Faith went out another way.
Cody and Dimitri were having a discussion concerning Matt during the battle against Virus. He had told Dimitri everything that occured after getting killed by Virus momentarily.
"My father did that?! He attacked Virus?" asked Dimitri.
"Oh yeah! He was as mad as a hornet! He went ballistic! When he saw you dead, he went bonkers and wanted to kill Virus," Cody said.
"But he paid the price for it, eventually," said Armadillomon.
"So where is my father?"
"I have no idea. He wasn't with us when Azulongmon revived you. He must be back in the real world right about now."
"Is that so?"
Dimitri thought about it for a minute and was shocked to hear that his own father would commit such a heroic act just to get back at Virus.
"Well, I'll be damned. My father has a heart after all."
"Who would have thought?" Faith asked.
"Who knew?"
"Well, I'm going home now, Dimitri. See you tomorrow," Cody said. "Get some rest before New Years."
"You too. See ya!"
With that said, the two Digi-Destined separated out and went into opposite directions. Dimitri headed off towards the destination leading to Mimi's home.

Odaiba, Japan. Earth
[Takeru's and Patamon's 02 Image theme "Steppin' Out" plays]
Later that night, Tai and Kari told informed Mrs. Takaishi about everything. And not so surprisingly, she was sitting down on her knees in tears. Kari did the best she could to try to comfort her.
"He did to save us all, including yourself, Mrs. Takaishi. Please try to understand," Kari said.
"Oh my baby boy… what a sacrifice he made… I just wanted him to come home safe and sound…"
"I'm so sorry," Kari replied, "But he will be back. Just remember of who he is and pray that he comes back safe and sound. Because if there is one thing I know about TK, he's a very resourceful kid. Trust me."
Mrs. Takaishi looked right up at Kari with teary eyes and nodded.
"TK, I just hope you keep your promise like you said you would. I'll do the best as I can to comfort your mother,"Kari said to herself.
****************************************************************************************
January 1, 2005
The next day, everybody gathered over at the Odabia Park where Dimitri was now getting ready to depart back to his future time period. They each said their goodbyes to the young warrior and wished him the best in his time period.
Dimitri stood right in front of his young mother, Mimi, and gave her a big hug.
"Goodbye, mom. You take care of yourself."
"You too, Dimitri. I hope you give those mean artificials the whooping that they deserve. And I want you to take good care of yourself. Who would have thought my own son is a freedom fighter of the future, while his mother would rather spend her time in a mall shopping for some new accessories?"
"Like I said, you really don't change much in my time. I love you, mom. I'll always cherish you and everyone else in my heart."
He looks right over towards the other Digi-Destined and waved to them.
"Bye guys! Thanks for helping me out. I will never forget you."
Faith was sitting on top of his head and waving over to the Digimon.
"Bye. Bye."
Dimitri turns around and sees Matt standing alongside Gabumon. Matt walks right over to his future son and gives him a 'manly handshake' so to speak.
"Goodbye, son. You go kick some ass in the future. And say hi to your mom there for me."
"I will. Thanks dad."
Dimitri then pulls out his time traveler device, which was repaired by Izzy, and activates it. Within a second, a dimensional portal opened up and then Dimitri waved his last goodbyes to each of the Digi-Destined. He then steps right through and the portal quickly closes right up.
The whole Digi-Destined gang quickly began to depart as they set off to begin their time of peace. Davis and Tai started off the day with a one on one game of soccer, with Agumon and Veemon serving as the goalies. Sora watched the game along with Biyomon, while picking at flowers.
Mimi sat alongside Palmon while throwing rocks into a nearby pond. Just then, she turns around and sees Matt walking up to her. Mimi smiles and gives Matt enough room for him to sit next to her. Here, their eventual relationship would begin.
Yet another relationship was building up as Ken and Yolei were walking alongside a trail around the lake. Wormmon and Hawkmon walked up to them with ice cream cones. The children took the ice cream with consideration and began to eat them while walking along the trail.
Kari was sitting on a nearby bench with Gatomon as they gazed up into the skies above. The wind breeze blew against their faces. Kari felt a cold touch on her shoulder and she quickly spins around to see an image of TK and Patamon smiling down upon them. A smile comes across the face of Kari while Gatomon began to wonder what she was looking at.
"A time for a new beginning. The nightmare known as Virus has been laid to rest and the two worlds are safe again. But I wonder… I wonder when TK will come back. After all, he kept his promise… Takeru, I sure won't forget you. I hope you come back… But for now, we shall move on… I want to be a kindergarten teacher, or just a teacher… You know how much I love kids… So it will give me a chance to get to know others better plus it will make me feel much better… But I won't ever forget you, Takeru."
"Kari?"
"Yeah?"
"Lets go watch that game of soccer. I'm sure Tai is whooping Davis. I'd pay to see that any day."
"Sure."
The two ran off towards over the soccer field, to watch Davis and Tai settling the scores in their old ritual of soccer.
****************************************************************************************
Just within the time vortex, Dimitri was glaring down at the upcoming portal way that would eventually lead him back into his future time period. He gives a serious glare and is more focused than he has ever been before.
"My mission isn't over. Its payback for the suffering you've caused, artificials."
****************************************************************************************
Odaiba. Alternate Time Period. April 1, 2025
Back in the alternate future time period, the city of Odaiba is again in peace. However, that sudden silence would not last very long as a huge explosion occurs. And then another one occurs on the other side of the city. And another. People are screaming and fleeing in absolute terror.
Just then, there was a large group of people running away as fat as they could in order to avoid being killed, by none other than the two killer artificials Jax and Sonja. And without warning, the two artificials appeared out of nowhere with her hands stretched out.
"Look, Sonja! Its a stampede!"
"Time for some bonus points!"
With that said, the two artificials powered up and shot out ki-blasts right at the group of fleeing people with ease. Screams could be heard as the explosion engulfed them whole. Jax and Sonja stood there with satisfied looks on their faces.
"This is great! I don't know what's better: slaughtering some meat or just blowing shit up!" said Jax.
"Yeah but it's really boring. I say we spice things up a bit," replied Sonja.
"Good idea. I would have said it any better!"
The two artificial demons continued their relentless attacks as they destroyed more buildings with ki-blasts and taking the lives of many innocent souls along with it.
Would there be a hope to these lost souls and will the twenty-year reign of terror end?
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Dimitri finds himself flying right out of the portal vortex and in a devastated location. This is where he had exactly left in order to go into the present time period before leaving. He looked across and could see a sheltered home that read 'Ishida Family'.
"Ah, good! It's still there! I guess, time here went really slow and my leaving had little effect here."
"Yeah. I'm getting hungry. I hope your mom has something baked," Faith said.
"You just had tons of bread rolls on the way over here, hungry already?"
"Well, I am quite a porker."
Dimitri chuckles and then walks right over towards the sheltered home. He turns the knob and noticed that it was open. He walks inside and sees his mother, Mimi, sitting on a chair with a magazine in her hand.
"Hi, mom! You're looking pretty preoccupied!"
Mimi quickly turns around and places down her magazine. She gasps and quickly runs up to her son with open arms. She happily cries on his shoulder.
"Oh, Dimitri! You're home! I'm so glad that you're all right! Oh my baby boy… Whoa. You sure have grown a lot. What happened, there?"
"Yeah, in the past, I entered a time chamber room with Faith and we used it in order to increase the power of our fusion ability. But yeah, you could say that I sprouted."
"Not only that, but you have grown quite built. I guess you take after your father."
"Speaking of my father, I saw him in the past and I actually got to know him a little better."
"That's good. You can tell me all about it in the kitchen, honey."
Dimitri sat down in a chair and watched as Mimi grabbed two cups and poured them each with coffee, she had previously made a while ago. Palmon comes walking into the room.
"Dimitri! Welcome back! Whoa, you've grown!"
"Yeah, my mom can tell you all about it, Palmon. So, did you take care of mom, while I was away?"
"Sure, did! The artificials haven't reached as far as this area, so we were pretty safe."
"That's good to know."
"So, tell me, Dimitri. Judging by your face, I'd say something good happened."
After a short moment to recap the entire War Games battle, Mimi sighed in disbelief as she places the cup on the table. When Dimitri told her about TK's death, she was stunned and taken back.
"So, TK sacrificed himself to save the day huh? And Kari was the one who finished him? Whoa, that must have been quite a battle."
"It was and you were right. Father was not the cold-hearted person I'd thought he be. When I was killed by Virus, dad went mad and went all out on Virus when he saw me dead."
"See I told you! That's why I said that! I told you so… Na! Na!"
"I never should have doubted you, mother."
Mimi takes a sip from her mug and then begins to voice her final thought about Matt.
"Heee, I didn't know that Matt had that side to him. That arrogant man actually has a heart after all."
Suddenly, the radio interrupts and goes update on the artificial situation occurring in Odaiba.
"We're sorry to interrupt the programming again, but we have the latest report on the killer artificials. They're attacking the Highton View Terrace location over in Odaiba as we speak!"
Just the, Dimitri slams his hands down angrily while growling under his breathe.
"That's it! Now it's their turn! I'm taking them down!"
"Dimitri, are you sure you want to go through with this?" asked Mimi.
Dimitri looks over towards his mother and a smile forms across his face. Then she smiles right back.
"Of course! That is the reason why I went to the present time period in the first place. I learned a lot and I've gotten a lot stronger with Faith. We're one unstoppable team. Let's do this, Faith!"
"Ready whenever you are!"
"Fusion Shinka!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Dimitri and Faith both started to glow and slowly transformed into streams of data. They fused together as they formed into a single entity. Then in their place stood none other than Angemon X and a sparkly glare appears in his eyes.
"Mother! It's time to bring a time of peace in this time period as well! Nightmares don't last forever. The moment you wake up from them, they aren't there anymore."
"You can do it, Dimitri! I believe in you, son! Go get them!"
"Oh yeah."
With that said, Angemon X goes running out of their home and goes flying off into the skies above. They traveled a long distance and managed to speed up in order to get to Odaiba as soon as possible.
****************************************************************************************
Back in Odaiba, Jax and Sonja continued blowing things up all around them. Sonja holds her hand out and throws off a large ki beam into the city as Jax watches with crossed arms.
"Your still a little spoiled brat, getting mad about losing a boy you considered cute?"
But Sonja just continues blasting the city with sheer anger.
"Shut up! I'm still not talking to you!"
Suddenly Jax jumps away but is still struck by a gun shot bullet out of nowhere. He then turns to see an old army officer lying on the ground with his gun pointed towards the evil cyborg. Despite being hit, Jax, of course, was not affected.
"You killed my son you monster!"
"Pretty good aim there, soldier. Do you want to play a game? I bet you do, huh? Here."
Jax crouches down and pointed his hand out right towards the soldier's man and was ready to blast him away.
"Nah. I'll tell you what. Let's play a little game of Cowboy and Indian. I'm the cowboy and you're the Indian. Ok there, now draw!"
The artificial male pulls out a small gun from his side pocket and makes a point blank position to the man's forehead.
"Bang…"
Just then, Angemon X quickly drops out of the sky and lands right in front of the two artificials with a determined look on his face.
"This is as far as you two go! I've come to kill you once and for all."
Jax gasps and stands right up to face Angemon X. A grin forms across Jax's face as if he were already confident to defeat the warrior.
"What? Are you still alive? Don't you know wasting your effort like this makes you look stupid, Dimitri?"
"Ugh! Do you mind if I kill him myself?" asked Sonja, "I'm in a bitchy mood."
She then holds out her hand to blast Angemon X.
"We'll lose a fun game, Sonja. But go ahead. Do whatever you want."
She smiles and then throws a blast right out at Angemon X. He easily watches it come forth at him and bats it away as if it were nothing more than a pesky fly. He holds out his hand right out in front of her and she quickly gasps in shock. Angemon X throws out a huge ki blast at Sonja and her screams could be heard throughout the city.
As soon as the dust cloud clears away, all who was left standing was none other than Angemon X. Jax gasps and couldn't believe his very own eyes. Sonja was so effortlessly defeated by the same warrior who was battered and beaten around like ease, but now Sonja had suffered the consequences and was no more.
"I don't believe it! What? What did you do? How could you kill Sonja like that?!"
Angemon X turns around and glares at him angrily. Jax's eyes widen and he steps away.
"That was for my friends that you killed… and this… This… is for… TAKERU!"
Angemon X charges up his ki and shoots out a huge blast at Jax and this was something that Jax was unable to avoid.
"DIE!"
Angemon X quickly leaps forward and kicks Jax hard in the place, leaving a dent in the artificial's face and throwing him back. Angemon X flies up and watches his blast go straight at Jax and easily destroying him within a matter of seconds.
Angemon X lands right back down and quickly defuses back into Dimitri and Faith. Dimitri looks up in the sky and feels a dark presence somewhere far away and he knew whom it belonged to.
"Is it over? No, not yet. There's one more I can't forget about. Virus, I know you're out there."
****************************************************************************************
Shinjuku.
Far off from Odaiba, the city of Shinjuku was left in silence and there were no traces of any people left. However, there was one figure standing amongst the ghost town. It was Virus, and he felt the presence of Dimitri. A wicked smile forms across his face.
"I've found you."
****************************************************************************************
March 23, 2028
Three years have now passed and the cities worldwide were being restored after the devastation left by the artificials. The time of peace has now come and no strange incidents have occurred during those three years of peace.
Dimitri was standing outside in front of his mother as he was now prepared to take another trip back into the present time, in order to let the Digi-Destined know that he destroyed the artificials.
"Tell, everybody hi for me," Mimi said.
"And don't forget me," Palmon replied.
"Sure, no prob. I'm already going to miss you two already."
[Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays]
Suddenly, a familiar figure waits behind a corner of a nearby building. Faith was the first to sense the dark presence and he quickly turns around growling.
"What's wrong, Faith?"
"Dimitri. He's here."
"Mother. You and Palmon have to get back inside. Now."
"Ok. Lets go, Palmon."
Mimi and Palmon go running inside their home, which left Dimitri and Faith alone as they turned around to face the creature from behind them.
"I know you're there, Virus. I know all about your plan to kill me, then find a dimensional traveling pod from one of these near buildings, change back into an egg, and use it to go back in time to go absorb Jax and Sonja!"
Virus is quickly caught by surprise and is taken back at what Dimitri had just said to him.
"What? How? How did you know that?!"
"I read your palm, big guy. Yep, you got a short life span coming right up."
Virus steps out from behind the building and he confronts Dimitri with an angry look on his face.
"What do you mean that my plan won't work?! You're talking big for someone in your position!"
"Virus, you're fully evolved form was certainly too powerful for me to beat, but I should be strong enough to deal with your present form!"
"Oh I see! You went into the past! That would explain why you know so much."
Dimitri simply smiles.
"But you've got to be damn crazy to think that you can defeat me. I've learned everything to know about you through the spy robot. You shouldn't even be able to defeat Jax and Sonja, who are much weaker than I am."
Dimitri begins to chuckle deeply.
"Then why have Sonja and Jax disappeared her in this time, then?"
Virus realizes at what he was saying and is quickly taken back at what he just said. Now his chances of absorbing the artificials have now gone down the drain. His chances of reaching his fully evolved form were no longer a dream.
"You were the one to beat them?!"
Dimitri smiles as he and Faith quickly fuse together and Angemon X appeared in their place. He looks towards Virus and holds out his hands.
"I don't want to fight here in Odaiba, especially in front of my own mother. They've rebuilt so much. Lets go somewhere else to fight!"
Angemon X quickly unleashes his ki energy and sends Virus flying right up into the sky with tremendous force. He goes flying right after Virus. The two fly off into an uninhabited area and land on opposing cliffs. They stare at each other quietly, until Virus breaks the silence.
"You… You have gotten a lot stronger, Dimitri."
Angemon X quickly powers up and ascends into his ascended fusion level. He raised his fists.
"There's no way I'm going to let you go into the past!"
"Shut up, you good for nothing jackass!"
[Imperfect Cell's English theme plays]
With that said, Virus jumps forward, but Angemon X easily blocks his attacks. Angemon X punches him and he flies back. He stops, sitting on one knee, Angemon X's impact still visible on his face. Suddenly Virus' tail swings out, but Angemon X effortlessly catches it. Virus gasps in horror. Angemon X lifts Virus into the air by his tail. He then releases Virus, sending him sailing into the sky above. Then without warning, Virus stops himself in the air.
"Asshole! You've forced me to…"
Virus pulls his hands over the top of his head and forms a large ki-ball, which would led to one of War Greymon's finishing moves.
"See how you like this technique!"
Virus begins powering up his energy ball in the palm of his hands.
"TE-R-RA FO-R-"
Virus quickly gasps as he stops his chant. Angemon X holds out his arms up in the air, a ring expanding around him as he powers up.
"This nightmare is over, Virus! Die!"
Angemon X then throws an enormous ki-blast at the Original Virus. Virus stares down at the rising ki-blast with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.
"No! No! DAMN YOU!"
Virus screams as the ki-blast engulfs him and completely destroys him, beyond the point of regeneration.
[Digimon Adventure Opening theme "Butterfly" plays]
The smoke begins to clear away and the ground around Angemon X is completely broken up. He sighs and completely fades out of his fusion form, and back into two separate entities, Faith and Dimitri.
"Now we can finally say that it's over. Thank you, father. Thank you, TK. Thank you, Tai and Kari Kamiya. And thanks, Digi-Destined."
Minutes later, Dimitri carries Faith back over to his home and Dimitri hopped off outside of his mother's home. Mimi and Palmon ran outside to greet them for a good well done.
"It's over, mother. The nightmare is finally over."
"Thank goodness. Now we can all have a time of peace."
"It's been a long time I've heard anyone say that. And it's about damn time too."
At last, Dimitri and his mother, Mimi, have found peace in their terrible future. From now on, they'll treasure their peace… Just as long as Dimitri is alive… That's all that matters…

[Preview]
TK: Hi, everyone! It's me, Takeru! In case you're wondering where I'm at. Well, let's just say I'll be playing the Gatekeeper's errand boy but there's a price to it. If I manage to restore order down in Digital Limbo, the Gatekeeper might allow me to return to the living world! This is so great!
Gatekeeper: That's if you're willing to live up to you're expectations.
TK: We'll take care of it.
Burizalor: Well, well. It's Takeru! It's so good to see you again!
TK: Damn! So it's true. You and Virus are teaming up down in limbo! We'll take care of this mess!
Virus: That's if you're willing to take us all on! You're chances of seeing that little bitch is slim to none!
TK: That bitch killed your ass.
Burizalor: Demon Corps! Attack this insect!
TK: Come and get… What the?!
[Suddenly an Imperialdramon with white armor appears before TK.]
TK: Who are you?!
Imperialdramon: I'm a loyal soldier to the Gatekeeper. I've been sent to lend you a hand and don't you worry. You'll see Hikari again, Takeru. You have my word.
TK: The final Zero Two episode happens to be the epilogue to this long saga and it's entitled…
Takeru Faces off Against Burizalor, Virus, Lady Myotismon and the Demon Corps! 'I Will See Hikari Once Again!'
Kari: TK, when will you come back?
***************************************************************************************
SSJ4T: Just to avoid confusion, yes that was the alternate time period where nearly all the Digi-Destined were slain by the artificials. Another thing is that Black War Greymon wasn't revived. He chose not to come back and decided to atone in limbo. I'm actually thinking of doing a mini-series based on these events alone. You'll come to know how Tai catches the disease and the artificials slaining nearly the entire Zero Two cast.
Coral: That's depressing. Whether it be Dimitri or Trunks…
Max: Or me for that matter. My future was fucked up by the Digital Warlord.
SSJ4T: It's now safe to assume that the Digi-Destined have saved their future from becoming hell as Dimitri predicted.
Max: So, once this epilogue is done, we're all finished with the first three seasons?
SSJ4T: Remember I still have my Tamers fic. Just two final chapters on that and I'll be set to focus on my Yugioh fic and D-Frontier series. Until then, check out the latest Tamers chapter! Peace!

[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Takeru Faces off Against Burizalor, Virus, Lady Myotismon and the Demon Corps! 'I Will See Hikari Once Again!'
Other Heavenly Dimension
Deep within the realm of the dead, it was rather peaceful and quiet. No signs of any troublemakers wrecking havoc. Nothing but quiet peace, and that's what's been really lacking during the battles back on earth and in the digital world.
However, TK and Patamon made up most of their time to take this chance to have a few relaxing moments before having to return back to their homes. Today, they would meet with the Gatekeeper where they will be told when they are able to return back to the digital world.
TK and Patamon were walking alongside a trail as they were told to follow a red brick road. At first, they thought it would be a yellow brick road, but it was indeed red.
"Hmm. I really thought it would be a yellow brick road," said TK, "Oh well. Red isn't that bad of a color. Yellow was too bright for me."
"Uh oh, that would mean you would go blind at an early age," remarked Patamon, "I thought only old people would get blind."
"Not unless you have bad vision like myself. As a matter of fact, I really don't have bad vision since I'm dead and there's no track of time anywhere here."
"Um, hello. In this world, we were told that time never runs out. So it goes on for all eternity. That means there's no such thing as tardy here."
"That's a good thing, Patamon. Now where would this Gatekeeper be waiting? Hmm, hey! That looks like a place for a higher power," TK said as he pointed out towards a large castle.
"Hey, it's worth a try."
TK and Patamon walked over towards the large, white palace and TK was the first to knock, but felt a little nervous since he would have to be facing a giant being. But just then, the door started to slowly open. Then, a loud voice thundered through the room.
"Come in! Show yourself!"
TK and Patamon come walking in and looking around to see what they saw as normal-sized office equipment. The room was pretty much n office instead of a throne room. He then spots a large chair and somebody sitting right behind it.
"And why have you come?!"
"Well, Patamon and myself were killed in a battle with an evil artificial and we were responsible in saving both the real… and…"
"Wait, a minute… your name isn't Takeru Takaishi… is it?"
"Well yeah. I'm apart of the Digi-Destined…"
"Whoa! No kidding!"
As soon as the chair spun around, a man with shades and Elvis-like hair turns around to face him. He looks identical to the wrestling star known as The Rock. He looks right down at TK and Patamon as he quirks his right eyebrow.
"Hey! You look like that wrestler The Rock! You played in that Scorpio-"
"Scorpion King, jabornie! Now, you just said your name is TK, right?"
"Well, yeah… I…"
"It doesn't matter what your name is!"
TK and Patamon both fell backward and with huge sweat drops coming their faces.
"Ok enough of that. Man, I just love doing that."
"So, um… You're the Gatekeeper?"
"No, I'm filling in for the big guy. I'm one of his assistants. He told me about you're situation, but he's out for lunch."
"Out for lunch?"
"Yeah, you want me to repeat myself? Anyway
"Huh? I guess so… I never expected you to be like… you know…"
"The Rock! Just say it already!"
"Anyways, I really like to know my status as far as me staying here in the realm of the dead is concerned. I really need to get back home. My friends are waiting for me and I promised Kari that once I came back, that I would see her."
"You really like her, do you?"
"Well yeah."
"Let me give you a piece of advice, love her and cherish her…"
"Ah! I didn't say that I…"
"Admit it, lover boy. You love her. She's your close friend. Better yet, I know deep inside that she loves you. Otherwise, she wouldn't be crying the way she did once you sacrificed yourself. You understand?"
"Well yeah. You're right. I do love her and she loves me. But you think she'd accept me?"
"You'll just have to ask her yourself, TK."
"Oh well, thanks, gatekeeper's assistant. I feel much better already."
"My pleasure. You're not the jabornie I thought you were. You're a true people's champion, but nothing like the…."
"So, you know how long I will have to stay up here?"
"Ok that. Well, you got to do a little errand for me first."
"An errand, what do you expect us to do," asked Patamon.
"First of all, you and you're digi-buddy will have to go down into limbo. There you will find some hooligans."
"There's troublemakers?! Don't worry, we'll take care of them for you."
"Yeah one of them was named Virus. He was sent down there the other day and now he's been causing a bunch of problems."
"What?! Virus?!"
"Then another group of guys. There's another guy named Burizalor who's teamed up with him. Now they're screwing up the order down in limbo."
"Burizalor?!" Patamon exclaimed, "Not him too!"
"Grr! He never quits!" said TK.
"So, can you two go down there and take care of them for me. Then, I'll tell you whether or not you can be released from the realm of the dead."
"Its a done deal. You have my word on that," TK said, "Lets rock, Patamon!"
"Mmhmm!"
TK pulls out his D-3 and Patamon quickly digivolves into Angemon. Angemon picks up TK and they set off flying down through an open portal, which will lead them down into limbo.
"Get ready to layeth the smackes down on their candy asses! Damn, I got to quit ripping off The Rock's lines. Crap! The big guy's lunch break is just about done. He better give me my paycheck."
*****************************************************************************************
Digital Limbo
Back down in limbo, none other than Virus was pummeling a group of demons down. Standing alongside the evil artificial were none other than Burizalor and Lady Myotismon and along with them were all five members of the Demon Corps. Yes, those members were none other than Piedmon, Puppetmon, Metal Tyrannus, Skull Satan and Marine Devilin.
"There has to be a way out of here and you are going to tell me it! Cause if you don't, I will have to torture you and your friends for all of eternity!" exclaimed Virus.
Virus steps on one of the demon's head and began crushing it but there was no use in squishing it down, since he was already dead.
"You are going to tell me now!"
"Over my dead body, Virus!" exclaimed a voice.
The seven villains all looked up in surprise when they saw none other than TK and Angemon. Virus was actually glad to see him and smiles over towards TK.
"Ah, if it isn't Takeru! So how was your long trip into the realm of the dead?" asked Virus, "So looks like we can finish off where we started!"
"I don't think so! I'm right to let you know that Angemon and myself are taking you guys in to been punished by the Gatekeeper!"
"Ooo! We're really scared," said Burizalor, "As a matter of fact, we were just waiting for you! Isn't that right, Demon Corps?!"
The five warriors all stood in goofy poses and then flew straight up towards Angemon and TK.
"TK! You better leave this to me!" Angemon said.
"Be careful!"
TK jumps down and watches as Angemon goes flying right through the five Demon Corps members with tremendous speed. Angemon turns around and decks Marine Devilin with a fist to his face. Then he elbows Puppetmon right in his cranium. Skull Satan was next as he gets kneed in the gut. Metal Tyrannus gets upper cutted in the chin. Piedmon goes for his Clown Trick, but Angemon phases out. The angelic digimon comes up behind Piedmon and clubs him in the back with his fists. The five warriors all fell down into a nearby red-colored pond.
Burizalor and Lady Myotismon could only look on with wide-eyes and gaping mouths in total surprise.
"Holy crap!" exclaimed Lady Myotismon.
"How did he improve so much?! He's only a champion!" exclaimed Burizalor.
"Don't you worry," replied Virus, "I'll handle this from here. I'm the one who killed him, remember?"
"Well. Who said that we were worried? After you my friend," said Burizalor.
"Ha! You're too kind!" exclaimed Virus.
With that said, Virus powers up and goes flying right towards Angemon. Angemon holds out his staff and was ready to blast him with his Hand of Fate.
"Look out, Angemon!"
But, just then, a massive creature comes shooting out of nowhere and it goes straight for Virus.
"Mega Crusher!"
"What the hell?!"
Virus gets blasted by some sort of powerful beam and is sent plummeting into a pond along with the Demon Corps.
"Ack! Who was that?!" exclaimed Burizalor.
TK and Angemon looked up to see none other than an Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, but he was in white shining armor and he held a large sword in his hands. TK was rubbing hishands and shaking his head in disbelief.
"He looks like Imperialdramon! But what's he doing here?!"
[Digi-Analyzer: Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. Mega Level. Special Techniques: Omega Blade and Hyper Prominence]
"No, you got the wrong guy. I am Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. My special attacks are Omega Blade and Hyper Prominence. I'm one of the dead warriors that protect this section of limbo. I was sent by the real Gatekeeper to lend you a hand."
"Wow! Thanks! Angemon was about to get whooped there. Thanks."
"No problem. Now leave these other punks to me."
With that said, Imperialdramon P.M. quickly fades out faster than the speed of light and appears right in front of Burizalor and Lady Myotismon. They both were in a state of shock, as Burizalor looked right up at Imperialdramon. Within the speed of light, he elbows Lady Myotismon in the gut and decks Burizalor right in the face with tremendous force, knocking him out.
Angemon and TK could only look on with shock. Imperialdramon P.M. flies over the pond and then shoots down another one of his main techniques.
"Positron Laser!"
The force of the laser shoots down in the pond and it sends a large portion of the water into the air. The Demon Corps and Virus all came flying out. They were then sent flying right towards a large cage. Imperialdramon P.M. then picks up both Burizalor and Lady Myotismon, tossing them in along with the Demon Corps and Virus. Imperialdramon P.M. locks the cage up and sends it right back towards the Gatekeeper.
"Thanks Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. By the way, do you know when the Gatekeeper said he would release me and have me returned back into the Digital World?"
"Yes, you are free now. The Gatekeeper has now released you and thank you for helping me bag these punks! You sure are a damn resourceful kid. We won't forget ya and as a reward…"
Imperialdramon P.M. shoots out a beam and then opens a portal leading into the Digital World.
"There you are free to go into the Digital World. Good luck, kid. Cherish Kari, Takeru. She's waiting for ya. Catch you, later!"
TK and the now de-evolved Patamon both wave over towards Imperialdramon P.M. as they entered right through the portal and would soon arrive in the Digital World.
"Bah! This sucks!" Virus exclaimed.
"This guy could have let us have taken showers," muttered Lady Myotismon.
"Um, does anybody wanna play Go-Fish?" Metal Tyrannus asked.
"Shut up!" everyone, except Metal Tyrannus, exclaimed.
****************************************************************************************
Digital World
TK and Patamon found themselves back within the Digital World. TK pinches his skin and yelps.
"Yep. We're alive again. Now, lets go pay Kari a visit!"
"Mmhmm! Digiport Open!"
TK founds the nearest television set and activates a portal way with the use of his D-3. Before they even knew it, TK and Patamon were quickly sucked right through the television screen and transported through a vortex that would lead them back home in the real world.

Kamiya Residence
While lying quietly in her bed, Kari was alone with Gatomon at her side. She couldn't stop sleeping and could only think of TK. She spent the whole day writing poems about him and herself. Then she heard her door creaking open and peered out to see who was walking in.
"Tai? Is that you… you're back awfully early from that party…"
"No, guess who, sweetie?"
"TK?!"
TK comes walking in with a smile on his face. Kari smiled happily and then climbs down her bed as she threw her arms around TK. TK returns the hug to her.
"Takeru! I'm so glad to see you again, TK! And you kept your promise like you said you would."
"That I did, angel of light."
Kari smiled and then gives TK a deep, warm kiss. TK returns the kiss and holds her tightly. Patamon and Gatomon looked on as they watched their human partners showing their love towards each other. This was basically a New Years gift to one another and they sure made it count.
And so, with TK back, Kari can now live happily and the two worlds are now at peace once again! With Virus gone, Kari can now live happily and the other Digi-Destined can now move on with their lives! And this ends another great battle and new chapters have yet to be written in the daily lives of the Digi-Destined… But like many great things, there always has to be a Goodbye… But in this case... It's just only the start of a new beginning…

[Digimon Tamers Opening theme "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
The Birth of Guilmon! The Digimon I created!
September 3, 2011
It was a beautiful morning in the city of West Shinjuku. The sudden silence was now disturbed by a deal of traffic and loud car honks. But that didn't seem to bother the woman walking by through the streets carrying a briefcase. This young woman was wearing a colorful light pinkish shirt and white pants. She looks up and brushes her hair away from her face. She then continued her walk towards what seemed to be an elementary school of some sorts.
She took a deep breath and began to think to herself for minute. This was her first day to teach a class, so would it be that hard?
"Alright this is it. But why am I so nervous? I should go in there knowing of what to expect. Many happy little children would greet me. Well, ok, not exactly happy, but children nonetheless. I didn't just do this for the money. I'm volunteering as part of my community service to make up for my college credits. But I should just be myself and let them know who I am."
The woman takes a few steps into the playground and began looking around. She could easily remember the days when she was a little girl and that she used to play in these playgrounds such as these.
"Oh and by the way! In case that you're wondering who this beautiful young woman is here, well you can take a good guess. Yep, it's me, Kari. I'm exactly twenty-one years old here. This was going to be my first day to teach a class, but I'm doing this out of voluntary work as a substitute. I really love kids and would like to get associated with them a little better. Gatomon told me to go for my dreams and that's exactly what I'm doing. Now if only, she would have been here to keep me company. But you can't exactly bring a digi-kitty into school now, would you?"
Kari then began to make her movements towards the school entrance and through the doors. She slowly walks through the hallway and looks over towards the registrar's office.
"Also, if you're wonder where the other Digi-Destined are, I'll explain everything. First off, my older brother, Tai, is now a soccer coach over at Odaiba elementary. He makes one heck of a coach and he still didn't cut his hair. Typical. As for Matt, he's now getting into the business of rock concerts. He and his band are the number one hit all over Japan as we speak, and he still didn't cut his hair. Sora now owns the flower shop after her mother retired from the business and is making a whole a lot of profit. But she also takes time out of her schedule to assist Tai in soccer coaching."
Kari walks right over towards the registrar's office and goes to open the doorknob. She walks right in and goes to sign in.
"Izzy works at a computer company and he's still creating programs to help preserve the Digital World. He takes a whole lot of his time to do so and wants to take his work into perfection. but that's just Izzy. Mimi, well surprise, she and Matt are married. Mimi travels all over the country with Matt during the tours. They're having quite a blast. They've even sent me some cards letting me know on their progress. Davis lives in West Shinjuku and he is also a soccer coach but only during certain seasons like the springtime. He also made Veemon the team mascot for the fun of it. But I don't think Veemon wouldn't take that too kindly. Did I mention that he and Sonja are married? Yep, Davis managed to marry a former evil artificial. But she actually turned out to be such a decent person. She's just anti-social. She even gave me these cute earrings for my birthday. Though, she never wears the earrings I give her. She's totally into anything cutesy."
Kari signs in and then greets the office workers. She then goes to walk out, but then turns around to ask one of the office workers on what room number that she will be teaching in.
"You'll be teaching up in room 5-2. That's over to your right and up the stairs. You won't miss it," said the office clerk.
"Thank you. Um, do you know the reason why a substitute was needed?"
"Yes. The teacher in 5-2 is Ms. Asagi, unfortunately she is out with ill for a couple of weeks. But we are grateful that you would volunteer to take her spot."
"Yes, I really love children. I really wanted to take this job. And you give Ms. Asagi my regards on a speedy recovery."
"We will and welcome to West Shinjuku Elementary."
Kari smiles and then walks out the door. She turns towards her right side and goes to walk up the stairs in order to reach her destination.
"Cody is set to finish high school as we speak. He plans to study to become a lawyer. I wish him luck. Oh and we can't forget Ken and Yolei. They're now happily married and they already have a little girl named Naomi. Ken works a detective while Yolei takes a part time job at a local computer company but she often brings her daughter over, in order to watch over her at the same time. Yolei even told me very to have any children because it requires a lot of work. But, I don't see the problem of me having kids. I just love 'em, period."
Kari walks up the steps and looks right over towards the door reading "5-2" on it. She slowly approaches and was about to open it.
"Michael still lives in New York and he's working as a manager of a local hockey team. He still keeps in touch with everyone of us when he gets time out of his busy schedule. And last but not least, how can we forget TK? He was the one who saved my life during the War Games, seven years ago. Virus would have destroyed our world along with the digital world. I thought it would be a long time before TK and Patamon would be revived and reformatted. But that sure didn't take long and he returned back with open arms. He certainly lived up to his promise. As far as TK is concerned, we live together in an apartment but we are not married. We're doing this since we don't have enough money to live out on our own separately, so we agreed to rent an apartment home so that we can save up our accounts. TK is currently writing a novel of our adventures in the Digital World and he sure is a hottie. That's all I got to say."
Kari turns the doorknob and walks right through the door. She peers through and she sees a large group of children looking over towards her direction. Kari gulps to herself and comes walking in, while putting on a smile on her face.
"we haven't heard from X or any of his allies. I suppose that they're still looking over parts of the digital universe. Overall, our lives certainly changed forever when I was the one that defeated Virus and made sure that he would never regenerate again."
Flashback
"Now its your chance, Kari!"
Celesta X looks out as if she were a deep trance but then she quick regains her senses. She screams out and shoots out her Seven Heavens Beam, pushing in more energy into it. A huge explosion occurs and the beam quickly overtakes Virus' Positron Laser. Virus turns his back and watches the beam going right through him.
"No! This can't be happening!"
Celesta X pushes back on her Seven Heavens Beam and watches it starting to kill Virus. The beam was too much for the evil artificial to handle and he let out his last screams.
"ARGH! NO!"
Celesta X concentrates on more of her energy and pushes the beam right through Virus and watching his body slowly starts to decompose. His once fully evolved body was disintegrating right before her very own eyes.
"Impossible! I'm… supposed to be… the fully… evolved being!"
The blast then starts to disintegrate the whole body of Virus down to his very nucleus. Even the last single nucleus was quickly vanquished. The last remains of Virus were no more. The enormous ki blast continues into the realm of the dark realm, where it dissipates.
End of Flashback
"Those last few moments were quite historic to say the least. I saved the two worlds after all. However, the presses all over the world proclaimed it as a savior angel sent to them from the higher power himself. Well, I guess that's a good thing. I don't want all those press to come up to me and ask questions. I was happy to have kept my Celesta X fusion form a secret…"
Kari placed her briefcase on the front desk and looked out towards the class full of children. They all looked at her, as if ready to go through another boring day of teaching.
"Hoo, boy. This is going to be a challenge… They're like looking at me… I guess I should start now… Its better than standing here like an idiot."
Just then, the children all greeted her in unison.
"Good morning!"
"Hi. Good morning, class. How is each and every one of you doing? As you know, Ms. Asagi is out with an illness and I will be your substitute teacher for the next few weeks. Let us all wish for Mrs. Asagi to have a speedy recovery. Ok, then. Let us begin the day by introducing ourselves. First, I'll introduce myself. I'm Ms. Kamiya. But my friends like to call me Kari. But as a teacher to you all, I would rather you call me Ms. Kamiya. My favorite hobbies are teaching, taking care of animals and just hanging out with my own friends."
The children only looked on and listened to her every word. They seemed to like Kari already, maybe because they feel Kari has common sense and is not strict like many teachers. They knew that this was just her first year of teaching and would give her a chance. But, not everybody wanted to give her a chance. A boy with a hat named Kazu was sitting down and snoozing on his desk.
"Now, I would like to get to know each and every one of you. Ahem. Ok. Now where's the role sheet? I'll call on people randomly."
Kari picks up the role sheet and then looks right through all of the names. She points over and sees the name Katou, Jeri.
"Yes. Um. Jeri Katou. Are you here?"
Just then, a young girl with a green skirt and a t-shirt underneath stood up. She has a pigtail tied on one side and was wearing tennis shoes. And what made her quite interesting was the fact that she was holding a sock puppet in her hand.
"Hello, Ms. Kamiya. My name is Jeri Katou. And um, I think you're going to be a great substitute teacher. We know that this is your first time and we're going to give a chance. You don't seem as strict. But if you want to know my hobbies… Well… Um…"
"Its okay, don't be shy. You really don't have to tell us, if you don't want to."
"Well. I just love cutesy little things and I like to hang out with my friends."
"That's very nice, Jeri. I'm sure you're a very good student. You may sit down."
Jeri nodded and sat down. She looks right over towards a boy sitting two desks away from her. The boy looks right back and smiles.
"Ok. Next, can a Takato Matsuki, please rise so that I may see you."
The boy quickly responded as he sits up. He wore a blue shirt with a hood behind it. He also wore some khaki shorts and tennis shoes. There was also a pair of goggles over his head. He then speaks up.
"Hello. My name is Takato Matsuki. My favorite hobbies are to draw, collect digimon cards and…"
This quickly catches Kari by surprise and she gasps at what he just mentioned about digimon.
"Wait a second, did you just say, digimon?"
"Yes, I love collecting the cards and its pretty cool to gain so much knowledge on digimon. Is there a problem with that?"
"Um, well. No, of course not. It's your hobby and you should be proud of what you do. No, as a matter of fact, I have a couple of friends that collect cards too."
"Oh, wow. What a coincidence."
"Yes, you may take your seat now, Takato."
"Yes, ma'm."
Takato then takes his seat and then goes right back to work on finishing up his drawing of a red, dinosaur-looking digimon on his drawing pad. He was surprised that his own teacher had friends who collected digimon cards. But he sure doesn't realize of who Kari really is and what she has accomplished as far as being associated with digimon is concerned. She basically saved the two worlds seven years ago and now she was a teacher seven years later.
"That was unexpected! Since, when do digimon become a card game?! Why wasn't I informed about this? That boy seems to love digimon, otherwise, he wouldn't be collecting the cards. I think I should have a talk with him after school."
She picks up her role sheet and then looks over the name Hirokazu Shiota.
"Ok, let us continue. Is there Hirokazu here? Hello, Hirokazu?"
Kazu was sitting there asleep but not for long as a girl behind him smacks him in the back of the head, in order to wake up. This quickly catches Kazu by surprise as he jumps right up out of his seat.
"She's calling your name, doofus!"
Kazu looks right over towards Kari and then goes to introduce himself while adjusting his hat.
"Um! Hi! My name is Hirokazu. Or you can just call me Kazu! I'm the coolest dude in this class. I guess you could say that I'm the troublemaker here. But I sure like to make my reputation felt. I make a lot of teachers mad, but you're an exception. You don't seem as mean as my other teachers, but I will see if you can prove me wrong."
"Well, is that so, Kazu? Well, I'm sure going to prove you wrong. And as long as you're nice to me, I'll show you the same respect. Ok, Kazu?"
"Sure, whatever."
"That's nice. Now you may take your seat now."
After almost fifteen minutes of introducing the class, Kari didn't realize that she had just come in thirty minutes before the bell to lunchtime. She sighed a relief once the bell rang and was practically starving out of her mind.
"I will see you all after lunch. Hope you can get some decent meals before we start the first official teaching day."
The children all scurried out and headed towards the cafeteria in order to get their meals as soon as possible before the time runs short in the lunch period.
Takato was gathering his things from his desk and takes his drawing pad with him. As soon as he scurried out, Kari's voice was heard and he quickly stopped.
"Takato. May I see you for just a moment?"
"Um. Sure, Ms. Kamiya. What is it?"
"About what you said earlier. You just said, digimon, didn't you?"
"Well, yeah. You don't know what digimon is?"
"Sure, I do. But I never knew there would have been a card game related to it. But I did see the digimon that invaded our cities many years ago, including those weirdos at the time Virus announced the War Games."
"Wow, so you have an understanding of them. Well as far as I know, the only real digimon fight I saw was through the television while watching the War Games. But I was too young to understand, since I was only three years old then."
"Tell me. What did you see?"
"I saw the monster named Virus and he was practically beating down several digimon that tried to stop him. And one of them looked like a young woman with beautiful blonde hair and powers of a holy angel. She was basically a guardian angel sent out to slay the monster."
"He saw me in my fusion form. Should I just tell him, or not?"
Takato then noticed something taped onto Kari's briefcase and it looked like a drawing of the same angel woman he saw in the War Games. There was a drawing of Celesta X in her final form on the briefcase. Takato looks right over at it.
"Whoa… Did you draw that?"
"Um… Yes I did…"
"Tell me. Have you been anywhere near these digimon? Because you couldn't have drawn such a picture like that if that angel has only been around once before…"
"I guess… Well…"
"Ms. Kamiya?"
Kari then noticed Takato's drawing pad and saw a picture of a red-dinosaur like digimon on it.
"Did you draw that?" asked Kari.
"Why, yes. I love drawing digimon. This one...well I just drew him yesterday. I'm finishing up on coloring him."
"That's so cute. What's his name? Did you give him a name?"
"Yeah. I named him Guilmon."
"Guilmon, huh? Wow, I would just imagine if he were real."
"Yeah, that would be cool. I really do wish that digimon were real."
"Well, looks like we have something quite in common, Takato."
"We, surprisingly enough."
"I'm sorry for taking up your lunch time, Takato. You may go now. I bet your friends are waiting for you as we speak."
"Its not a problem, Ms. Kamiya. We'll see you in class after lunch!"
With that said, Takato goes running out and headed towards the cafeteria as fast as he could, but now had to endure a long, lunch line in order to get his food.
Kari sat on her desk and sighed in relief. She looks over the drawing of Celesta X that she drew and a smile comes across her face.
"I sure looked beautiful there. I was beautiful, yet deadly… It's a good combination… What a nice boy and a good, charming personality. His digimon looked so cute. But I wonder… What if it were real?"
She shrugged her shoulders and then headed out towards the cafeteria in order to get her lunch and to greet the other teachers along the way.
**************************************************************************************
After school, Takato was playing with his friends, Kazu and Kenta, after school over at the playground as they were now playing against each other in another round of digimon card game.
"Bulls eye baby! Dark Tyrannomon digivolves into Metal Tyrannomon! Which makes you history," Takato said.
"Aw, man! That hurt! I can't believe you beat me chumley," Kazu exclaimed.
"Well, what can I say? I'm a super genius," said Takato.
"Great, look at the time. I've got to be going before my mom kills me," Kenta said while looking at his watch.
"Catch you later and you owe me a rematch," Kazu said as he grabbed his things.
Kazu and Kenta grab their belongings and head out leaving the playground and back to their homes, before nightfall occurs. Takato went and grabbed his cards together and then went to put away his card reader but then he loses grip of it and watches his digimon cards falling down. Then he noticed one of his cards giving off a shiny glare and it turned out to be a blue card.
"Huh? I've never seen that one before. I don't even remember having a blue card..."
Elsewhere, Kari was getting her belongings together and placing them in her briefcase. She was now ready to head out back home and relax for the day. But just then, her D-3 was starting to go over unexpectedly.
"Huh? I wonder why my D-3 is going off."
She picks it up and then watches as it was starting to glow. She gasped and then it started to shake and glow profusely.
"What's going on here? Why is it going off like this?"
Takato picks up the blue card and then his card reader. He then goes to give it a card slash.
Kari's D-3 went off and gave off a strange light. She watches as the light goes flying out through a small window creek and outside.
Takato gives it a card slash and suddenly the light beam hits the card reader, which caused Takato to throw it down onto the ground. The card reader then slowly takes the form of a digivice. Takato looks right down at it and picks it up.
"Whoa. Tell me that I'm dreaming. This is… just… a dream…"
Takato then notices some sort of radar picking up some sort of energy signal and it was pointing over towards the direction of two far off twin tower buildings.
"I wonder if this is also some sort of compass. Maybe it will lead me to other kid with a digivice… Hmmm, this is getting more confusing than I thought."
**************************************************************************************
Standing in the middle of West Shinjuku was a tall, twin tower building that almost looked similar to the WTC towers in New York City, except these were not as gigantic and were connected to one another. Here a secret government operation was taking action and locating certain anomalies that were strangely taking place. The people who run this operation were none other than Hypnos HQ.
Inside, there was a large room with some sort of digital plane grid on the walls. And tons of advanced computer technology was being used to locate anything that was going to biomerge so to speak. A two-seated platform rose up with two ladies working away on their computers. One of them began to speak up.
"We've just pinpointed the location of another anomaly coming from the digital plane itself and its going to biomerge soon," said the red-haired young woman.
Down from below, a man was observing them while flipping open his lighter then closing it again.
"So. Is it a Wild One?"
"Yes and we're attempting to wipe it out as we speak," the other young lady with blonde-hair said.
"Good. See to it that no Wild Ones escape through that digital plane. We can't allow any of these 'Wild Ones' to biomerge, it will cause a major panic on the public."
Just then, a red dot was flickering repeatedly, which catches the man by surprise. This was a Wild One about to biomerge.
"Delete as soon as possible," the man ordered.
"We're doing the best that we can, but this thing is pretty stubborn," the redhead said.
"Track down its location and don't let it out of your sight!"
"Yes, sir. Locating 'Wild One' as we speak."
With that said, the ladies went right to work and were going to use a program called the Yuggoth program to wipe out this soon-to-be bio-merged Wild Ones.
**************************************************************************************
Just within the digital plane, a small, white little puffball with short legs and large ears was running down as if something were chasing him. He looked right behind him to see a Maildramon chasing him.
"I don't understand why you're even chasing me! I didn't do anything wrong! I just wanted to play," exclaimed the white puffball.
"Ok! Lets play," replied Maildramon as he continued his charge towards the mysterious-looking digimon.
Just as soon as he was getting ahead and as far away as possible, the white puffball tripped over and fell down onto the ground face-first.
"Ugh! Are sure your playing it right?! Aw nuts!"
As soon as he turned around, he saw Maildramon quickly starting to approach him. He covered his eyes and closed his ears down. Just then, something came out of nowhere and knocked Maildramon down onto the ground. The white digimon looked up and gasped at what he was seeing. A Black Tyrannomon had shown up and was now starting to attack the Maildramon. Maildramon overwhelmed him. But as soon as that happened, Black Tyrannomon was glowing and his body was starting to evolve.
An explosion occurs, which sends the little digimon flying right back through what looked like a portal of some sorts. He looks on and sees a now-evolved Metal Tyrannomon crushing Maildramon with his claws. The mysterious digimon goes flying right through the portal, which would soon lead him into another world: Earth.
**************************************************************************************
The city of West Shinjuku was busy as ever. There were helicopters investigating the areas out. That is until a small cloud was starting to form out of nowhere and then something comes popping right out of it. It was the little digimon, himself. He goes spinning around but manages to catch himself in time before the helicopter had a chance to hit him. He looks down at the traffic city below with his large-eyes having a sad look on them.
"Just where am I? This is the Digital World? These digimon sure don't look friendly, especially that flying one that almost hit me. I better be careful around here."
The creature begins to fly around the skies and observing the West Shinjuku activities from high above. He had no idea that he was now in West Shinjuku, Japan, and to be exact, right on Earth. But soon dusk was coming forth and he wanted to be sure to find a really safe spot to hide himself from the so-called "big and mean digimon". When in reality, these 'digimon' were automobiles, airflights and buildings.
*************************************************************************************
The red flickering dot that was on the grid screen had now vanished and this catches the man by surprise. This was what he expected from the start.
"It bio-emerged! We were too late to stop it."
"We almost had it with the Yuggoth program, but it was just too fast to keep up with," the blonde woman replied.
"That shouldn't happen again. We can't afford to make anymore mistakes with this," the red head said.
"Thats right. We will be more alert next time. Who knows what these Wild Ones will do once they bio-merged. I just can't stand seeing these invaders coming in here and trying to disrupt our world. They're just like roaches ready to be squashed!"
The man sits down and angrily sighs to himself over losing this battle against the Wild Ones, but he knew in his mind that he would not let the same mistake happen again and allow another digital being to enter the real world to infest the human society. Every since the events of the artificial invasion and Virus's War Games, this man has been rallying against digital life forms emerging into the real world. He felt the need to exterminate them to what he believes would protect every civilian across the planet. But all of that was just his opinion and he would stick to that opinion.
***************************************************************************************
Back at West Shinjuku elementary, Kari had grabbed her things and walked outside in order to catch a bus over to her apartment home, which wasn't too far away. She held out her D-3 and was looking down. She had previously picked up a reading from some sort of digital activity, but she had no idea if a digimon was around. She had just remembered that the four guardians had sealed all digital gates, and made it nearly impossible for any digimon to enter the real world from the digital world. But Kari wondered if there ever was another digital world that could be out there somewhere.
"Well, I guess I'll get used to teaching. Even if it's for two weeks, but I wonder, why did my D-3 release that light? Is there something that I don't know about it? Hmmm, maybe I'll just ask TK about this. Takato. What a nice kid, I can't believe one of my first students is into digimon. Well, that's kind of cool, I guess."
Kari then took a look at her D-3 and she picked up a pinpoint location of something nearby and it was just a few blocks away. She decided to forget the bus and go check out the situation.
"I'm really curious to know, where is this location coming from? I mean, the only two things that I am able to pick up from here are the other Digi-Destined and a digimon, but I doubt a lone digimon would arrive here. Unless…"
Just as soon as she was about to run across towards the park, she saw none other than Takato slashing his drawing of Guilmon right through his digivice. She stopped and gasped. Takato looks up to see Kari looking right over at him.
"Takato!"
"Ms. Kamiya?!"
Kari lowers her head and notices the digivice in Takato's hand. She gasps in shock and couldn't believe at what she was seeing.
"What? I found this…"
"Find? Oh my god… Takato, is that what I think it is..."
"Sure, it's some sort of digivice right? I mean, I already know what they are. They sell them over at toy stores."
"Can I can a take a look at it?"
"Um… Sure."
Takato tosses the digivice over to Kari, who easily catches it. She quickly examines the digivice and tried to get the drawing pad off of it. She even tried pulling it off but then a powerful ray of light came shining through and his made Kari toss down onto the ground.
"Ahh! That's sure not a toy," exclaimed Kari.
Takato runs over to the digivice and places his hand over it. He was just as shocked as Kari was. Suddenly, the digivice scanned the picture of Guilmon and the information about him. Takato goes and picks up the drawing. He then looks right up at Kari, who was standing with a shocked expression on her face.
"I'm sorry about that, Ms. Kamiya… I didn't expect any of that… I promise… I'm just as shocked…"
"No, Takato. I should have told you earlier."
"About what? Is there something wrong?"
"There's a lot you need to know."
Kari holds out her D-3 and Takato examines it. Then he looks back at his digivice and gasps. Now both of them had digivices, but of different models. Takato's digivice had some sort of card slash at the side. It was very obvious that is where cards are slashed through.
"Takato… You see… I'm one of the so-called Digi-Destined that the news broadcasters were mentioning during the time of the War Games involving Virus."
"No kidding! You're her! That same girl?!"
"Mmhmm. I've been a Digi-Destined since I was eight years old. You see I've tried to hide from the media so to speak. They already know who I am but everywhere I go, they question me."
"So that's why you moved here in West Shinjuku?"
"Yes, and to start a new life. You see, I really wanted to get away from being a Digi-Destined, it was all in the past and there haven't been any threats coming to destroy the Earth."
"Wow! I can't believe my substitute teacher was a former Digi-Destined! Wow, it's really a privilege."
"Well, now that you know, I guess I could show you to my home and you could meet my partner digimon."
"I'd like that."
"You should really call your folks and make sure to tell them that you're out a little later than usual. I wouldn't want them to worry about your whereabouts."
"Right. I'll be right back."
Takato goes running off and as fast he could to finding a nearby telephone booth, in order to call up his parents and letting them know where he was going to be going tonight.
Kari picks up the drawing of Guilmon and a smile comes across her face. Then she picks up the information about him, written by Takato himself.
"How cute. This kid is really creative. He's going to be good artist someday. This dinosaur kind of reminds me of Agumon, but a little better. This one seems look like a good fighter."
Just then, Takato comes racing back with a smile on his face. Kari looks towards him and hands him the drawing back.
"Well, did they say?"
"My mom says that as long as there's an adult around, it's fine but not too late. Besides I really don't got homework, thanks to you, Ms. Kamiya."
"Takato, its my first day, what do you expect? But do expect a little homework tomorrow."
"Ahh. So, where exactly do you live?"
"In some nearby apartments, I live with a room mate so to speak. I've just moved here about a week ago, but I'll get used to it."
"So, what's your digimon like? Is he friendly?"
"You'll see, Takato."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the white little digimon was looking across the entire city while sitting on top of a large building. He sighs and then lowers his head.
"If only somebody would at least come out and play. I don't like being lonely. Hello?! Is anybody ever going to come out and play?"
No one even replied or attempted to answer back, which made the little digimon sad. He was already sadder than he was.
"I guess, nobody wants to play at this time of day. Oh well, I was getting sleepy anyway… Goodnight…"
**************************************************************************************
Kari opened her apartment door and walked right inside. Takato follows her in and looks around her apartment home. It still kind of looked messy.
"I can see that you're unpacking, Ms. Kamiya."
"Well, yeah. TK and I have a bunch of stuff that is needed to be put away."
"Um, who's TK? That your room mate?"
"Yeah. We've been friends ever since we became Digi-Destined. Now hold on, I'm going to go get my digimon partner."
Takato sits down on a chair and looks down at his digivice. He didn't pick up any kind of energy signals just yet. Just then, he hears Kari calling out to her digimon.
"Gatomon! We've got company. Its one of my students."
Just then, Gatomon comes walking out from her tiny, kitten house while yawning away.
"Kari, I was having... a nice cat nap, too."
"Oh, you've been asleep almost the whole day. Come on, I brought over one of my students here. He has quite an interest in digimon."
"Wow! Really? Cool."
Kari picks up Gatomon in her arms and walks right over towards where Takato was sitting down. The young boy turns around and to his surprise, he saw none other than Gatomon looking right down at him. A smile forms across her face.
"So this is one of your students, Kari? Wow, he loves digimon."
"Hey! That's Gatomon! According to my digimon knowledge, she's a champion level. Her main attacks are Lighting Paw and Cats Eye Hypnotism."
"Wow and he knows my profile. You must be a super genius in digimon, kid," Gatomon remarked.
"Gatomon. His name is Takato and he isn't exactly a digimon genius."
"Right, what she said," Takato replied, "I just love to play the digimon card game."
"Digimon cards? When did they start making those," asked Gatomon.
"Have, you been like in the dark ages or something? They've been around for a long while already," said Takato, "And they're becoming quite a popular game here in Japan. I guess the War Games event brought more interest to digimon."
"Wow, we're getting popular, Kari," Gatomon replied, "Too bad, we're not getting profit from it."
"Ah, Gatomon. Why do we need money when we got friendship?"
"True but I needed a new kitty spa and bed," Gatomon said, "Besides, I need my royalty treatment."
"Don't mind her, Takato. She can be quite a bit on the arrogant side, but still a very close friend."
"Right."
Gatomon takes a look at Takato's drawing of Guilmon and picks it up. She then reads the information on Guilmon. Takato picks up the papers and places them back into his notepad.
"Just who was that a picture of?" asked Gatomon, "He looks pretty cool."
"Oh, that's a digimon that I created. His name is Guilmon. And um lets just say that he's a good fighter despite being a rookie."
"Hmmm, if only he were real, then I'd be more than happy to meet him," Gatomon said.
"Me too," Kari said, "So, Takato, would you like some cookie that TK and I baked from last night?"
"Um, sure."
Kari walks back into the kitchen and finds that the cookies were all stacked in one pile in a bowl. She takes the bowl and then walks over towards the dining room with them.
"I hope you like chocolate-chip and marshmallow."
"Oh I do…"
Just then, Takato's digivice started going off and he takes a look at him. He sees a red dot flickering on and off again repeatedly. Kari takes notice of this and looks at his digivice.
"What is it, Takato?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that something is coming. My digivice is picking up some sort of pinpoint location."
"Maybe we should just check it out," Gatomon said, "It doesn't hurt to know what it is."
"Right. Alright, lets go see what it is," Kari said in agreement.
Takato walks up and goes running out the door to rush over to the location where the pinpoint was being positioned. Kari and Gatomon go rushing after him. According to Takato's digivice, the location wasn't too far and it was at a nearby construction site.
"I just hope that it isn't a digimon that escaped through the digital ports, because I'm positive that Azulongmon told us that they were all sealed up,"Kari said to herself.
Takato rushed over to the scene of the construction site and goes sliding down where he falls down face first onto the ground. He picks himself up and looks at his digivice.
"Could it be? No way. Its not possible,"Takato said to himself.
"Takato! Hold on!" exclaimed Kari.
Takato turns around to see Kari and Gatomon sliding down the hill right behind him.
"The pinpoint is in this location and I'm positive we'll found it what we're looking for here," Takato said.
"I just hope you're right," Kari replied.
With that said, the three began looking for the supposeably bio-merged digimon within this construction site, but could it possibly be a digimon of some sorts. There was only one way to find out.
Over at a corner, a pint-sized teen with spikey-hair, a blue school uniform, and a backpack watched them running off to find the location of the bio-emergence. The boy seemed to be wearing an oddly shaped item around his necklace chain. It was shaped like an upside down pyramid with an eye symbol on front.
"I wonder why they're in a hurry?"
"Hey, Yugi!"
A tall, blonde-haired teen with a green coat and blue jeans came over to the pint-sized teen.
"What's up, Joey?"
"You wanna go over and play at the arcade?"
"Sure."
****************************************************************************************
[Ruki's image theme "Moon Fighter" plays]
Elsewhere, there was a girl standing alongside a wall with her headphones on while listening to music. Just then, she looked down and saw something flickering on and off on her digivice. This girl wore a white shirt with light green stripes on the side, with a broken heart on the center of the shirt. She also wore blue jeans and red tennis shoes. She had violet-colored eyes and her red hair was tied back into a ponytail. She took her digivice and a cold smirk forms across her pale face.
"Good. Another challenge. Just what I was looking for, Renamon!"
Just then, a tall, yellow fox with purple gloves instantly appears out of nowhere with her arms crossed. She walks right up to the girl.
"What is it, Rika?"
"We got another digimon to take out of commission. You ready for a little sparring match?"
"Always. Lets go."
"Its over at the construction site. Follow my lead."
Rika then heads out towards the construction site with Renamon phasing out and following her human partner at the speed of light, which made her completely invisible to the human eye.
"Renamon. You will get stronger, because you're not going to let me down. We fight to win and nothing else matters."
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, inside a nearby apartment home, a young boy with dark-blue hair was sitting down on his computer while his little sister was sitting on the floor playing with what seemed to be a Terriermon plushy. The little girl then noticed the bright light coming from outside the window and looked out towards it.
"Henwy! Take a wook at this," exclaimed the little girl.
Henry stopped at what he was doing, which was playing computer games, and looked out towards the window. He gasped at what he saw and looked at his digivice, it was picking up a huge energy signal'
"I wonder what it is, Suzie," Henry said, "Plus my digivice is going off again. Another biomerging?"
Henry then looks over to Terriermon, who was moving around slightly and wiping his head in relief. Suzie turns back around and goes to hug Terriermon, who went back to being a plushy toy again.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the construction site, a bright beam came showering down out of nowhere and this catches Takato by complete surprise. Kari and Gatomon both looked on with shock as the beam penetrated into the ground and something was obviously bio-emerging, but they wondered what it could be.
"Whoa! I wonder what's sending that beam! I can barely see a thing," exclaimed Takato.
"Kari, I'm picking up an very strong ki level coming from that beam," said Gatomon.
"What is it?" asked Kari.
"I don't know. I haven't sensed a power like this before. Its rather recent," said Gatomon, "Its a little bit similar to Agumon's, maybe even stronger…"
The three look on as the beam was slowly started to fade away and giving off a powerful, thick fog that practically covered the entire construction site. Something was now emerging from within the fog, but the three couldn't make out to see what it was.
***************************************************************************************
Even the people over in Hypnos were having a hard time attempting to keeping up with the so-called Wild One about to bio-merge. They tried using the Yuggoth program in order to delete it but it was too late. Whatever it was now was now going to bio-merge within West Shinjuku, over at the same construction site.
"Its going to bio-merge," exclaimed the red-haired woman.
"Where, Riley? Tell me the exact location."
"Over at the construction site just a few blocks away from the Hypnos building," Riley replied.
"Talley! Give me the status on the Wild One's biomergence."
"It's bio-merging faster than we think. Its uncanny!"
"Damn! If only we could have deleted with the Yuggoth program when we had the chance. Oh well, I won't let another of these 'Wild Ones' slip out of my sight! They will not go unpunished!"
The man who looked to have an obsession in getting rid of the nuisances he refers as Wild Ones is Yamaki, the man who runs Hypnos and runs the secret project known as the Yuggoth program, which is used to locate and delete any digital lifeform that attempts to enter the real world. He's been handling them without any frustrations, but recently, they have become quite a pain for Yamaki. Yamaki has been bitter over these 'alien life forms' since the events started nearly twelve years ago. It all started with Myotismon invading Odaiba. Followed by those events five years later, the artificials would run amuck. But the final straw came when Virus announced the War Games and Yamaki developed a grudge against the very digimon warriors who fought against the demonic artificial. He didn't support Virus's attempt to destroy the planet, but he never wanted the digimon to gain any right to crossover into the real world. Even he had absolutely no control over these situations. Recently, there have been civilians out there who have managed to wipe out these Wild Ones, and it was a good indication that it was the children who have digimon that were able to take out the digital invaders. Something to which Yamaki has failed to do.
"Curse you, digital scum. I'll rid of your kind if its the last thing I do,"Yamaki said to himself in thought.
**************************************************************************************
As soon as the fog was clearing up, Takato peered out to look at what was emerging. Just then, he heard a little growling snort and realized that it wasn't his stomach but it was coming from the fog itself. He peers and gasps at what he was seeing right before him.
"What is it, Takato?" Kari asked frantically.
"Kari! I can see it," Gatomon replied, "It looks like that digimon on Takato's drawing pad!"
Takato looks back and then gazes at the creature that he drew in his notepad. Yes, it was the same digimon that he made up with his imagination. The fog cleared away and now sitting on the ground was a red dinosaur with a white-colored chest with a black hazard sign on it. His claws are long and sharp, and so were his toes. His eyes had yellow pupils and black irises. He lets out a small growl and rubs his snout.
"It's him… It's really him," Takato muttered happily, "Guilmon… He's real after all!"
"Guilmon?! He's now a living digimon," exclaimed Kari.
"Unbelievable! But he was just a drawing," said Gatomon with a surprised look on her face. "But that can't be right. He's not even real..."
Takato slowly approaches Guilmon and clears his throat. Guilmon sniffs the air. It looked like he smelled something and then looks over to see a pair of rats chatter. A curious look comes across the face of Guilmon, while Takato slowly approaches him.
"Umm. Hi, my name is Takato. I'm the one who created you, Guilmon. Man, I can't believe your real…"
Just as the young boy was about to finish speaking, Guilmon powers up and a fiery blast comes shooting right out of his mouth. The blast goes flying right through a nearby pipeline as he was targeting for the rats. Takato goes falling back while covering his face from any flying debris. Kari held onto Gatomon tightly, as the digital kitty couldn't believe that a rookie-leveled digimon would have this much power from one single blast. Guilmon closes his mouth.
"Ummm, I guess you don't like rats, huh," asked Takato.
"What an immense blast," Gatomon said.
"His power was incredible. I could feel the ground rumbling after that one," Kari said, "I think Takato overdid it on creating Guilmon."
Just then, Guilmon turns around and faces Takato. The young boy was now starting to panic as he fell backwards and watched as Guilmon was standing up on his two feet. Takato held out his arms as if he were protecting himself.
"Ah! Now he probably thinks I'm dinner! Hey, Guilmon. I'll tell you what, I scream and you run."
Guilmon only opened his mouth with a smirk on his face. Takato backed away from the approaching red powered-up dinosaur and tried to get away but he fell as he tripped over a small pipe. Takato turns around as Guilmon stands over him.
"Oh no! Takato! Hang on," exclaimed Kari.
"I'll take that overgrown lizard," shouted Gatomon as she got into a fighting stance.
Gatomon runs out towards the scene. Guilmon was now about to make his move on Takato, who was now screaming his head off more than ever. Kari looks on and holds out her D-3, which will allow Gatomon to armor evolve.
Can Gatomon rescue Takato in time before he becomes the first meal of Guilmon? Kind of a big bummer to be eaten by your own creator, but what allowed Guilmon to bio-merge the way he did?

[Digimon Tamers Opening theme "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Your My Friend. Terriermon Appears!
Takato was backing away as quickly as he could before we would become Guilmon's first main course. The young, goggle boy crossed his arms over his head in order to protect himself, but even he knew that he would be no match for a hungry-looking dinosaur.
"Please, keep away! Don't eat me!"
"Hang on, Takato!" exclaimed Gatomon, "Help is on the way!"
Kari holds out her D-3, which will allow Gatomon to armor evolve through the use of her old digimental of light. However, Guilmon pays no attention to the approaching feline as he sniffs the boy.
"Don't eat me…"
But just as he was about to finish at what he was saying, Guilmon only places his head onto Takato's arms. The boy gasps and looks right up at Guilmon. Guilmon reacts by licking Takato's face out of friendliness.
"Guilmon? You're not going to eat me, after all?"
Just then, Guilmon looks up and sees Gatomon flying right towards him. Guilmon steps right in front of Takato as if he were already protecting him. In fact, he was protecting the boy. Gatomon comes to a complete stop and was now confused.
"Gatomon? Why did you stop," asked Kari.
"He's not eating Takato and it looks like he's shielding him. Hmmm, I guess he already realizes that Takato is his partner."
Kari runs up towards Gatomon and picks her up. She then looks right down at Guilmon. Takato gets up from the ground and places a hand over Guilmon.
"Whew, for a second there, I thought you were going to have me as your main course," said Takato, "I'm glad that you realize that I'm your partner."
Guilmon responds by rubbing the boy's side and smiling. Takato pets his new digimon on the top of his head, which Guilmon liked very much.
"Wow. I can't believe my own student has a digimon of his own. So Takato, what do you think of him?"
"He's perfect, the digimon that I've been dreaming for. Now he's alive, he's one hundred perfect real. Now I'm a Digimon Tamer."
"Tamer, huh? Sounds fun. So, where are you going to keep him? You obviously can't bring him home with your parents."
"I don't know Ms. Kamiya. I might as well sneak him in for just tonight and I'll find a way to hide him tomorrow after school."
"That sounds like a plan, but leaving all alone at your house while you're at school. By the way, where do your parents work?"
"We own our own bakery and we practically live there. So it's going to be impossible if my parents work there all day."
"Hmmm. Hey I got a great idea! You can sneak him into your house through some sort of cardboard box and just let your folks know that your just bringing supplies from school. Then, the next morning, before you get to school, you can bring Guilmon still in his box and drop it off at my apartment. Don't worry, I'll let TK know about this and he can keep Guilmon over until you get back. That sound like a plan?"
"Yeah. Thanks Ms. Kamiya. Your a real life saver."
"Don't mention, Takato. Besides, you have a love and obsession in digimon much like myself. It's good to know a kid knowing a lot about digimon. Oh my god, look at the time, I've gotta take you back to your home. Your parents must be worried sick!"
"Right! We better get going. You ready to go, Guilmon?"
"Mmhmm. Where are we going?"
"You'll see. Trust me."
Kari and Takato hurried over to her car while Gatomon and Guilmon both rode in the backseat, in order to remain hidden from being exposed.
***************************************************************************************
Minutes later, Kari stopped the car over at the bakery just as Takato helped her out through the directions to arrive at his home. Takato got out with Guilmon and finds a nearby cardboard box. He places it over Guilmon and picks it up, but realizes that Guilmon was heavier than he first thought.
"Can you get it, Takato?" asked Kari.
"Yes, Ms. Kamiya. I got it. Thanks for asking though."
"By the way, you can just call me Kari when we're not in school, ok? You calling me that will make me feel old. Would you do that for me, please?"
"Sure thing, Kari. See you in school, tomorrow."
"If Guilmon snores, just put a pillow over him to gag him to shut up," remarked Gatomon, "Nah, just joking with ya. You take care of him. Bye Guilmon!"
"Bye, bye, Gatomon!" Guilmon replied within the box.
"Have fun, Takato!" said Kari as she started her car and drives off.
Takato carries the box inside and walks slowly over through the backdoor way. He then creeps inside to make sure that his parents don't see him. But he sure was wrong once his parents found him walking up the stairs with the box.
"Hi, son. So, how's your teacher like," asked Mrs. Matsuki.
"She's great. She was really fun to talk to," Takato replied while using all of his might to carry the heavy box. "Ugh, why didn't I draw him to be much lighter. I should just call him heavymon instead."
"Hey! What's in the box," Mr. Matsuki asked, "Don't tell me its more junk. If it is, I'm just going to go back up and pick it up again."
"Nah, its not trash."
"And it better be no animal."
"Mom?! Are you nuts? Why do you think I bring an animal to the house? That's crazy talk! Ha. An animal… Its just school supplies my teacher said to look after while she continues to unpack her belongings back at her home. Its nothing to worry about mom, really."
Takato continues to walk up the stairs and used every ounce of strength to push the box. Mrs. Matsuki could only look on with concern and confusion on her face. She has always gotten on her son for bringing in animals or trash into his room, since she and her husband do own a bakery after all.
Takato closes his door and then opens the box, letting Guilmon out. The crimson-colored dinosaur goes running across Takato's room and pushing aside some papers off a desk with his snout causing a loud ruckus. Takato rushes over and scolds Guilmon into not causing too much noise. This would make his mother suspicious.
"Hey! You can't just go thrashing around like that, Guilmon. You'll definitely get my mom's attention like that."
"So, I'm Guilmon?"
"Yeah. And my name is Takato."
"Huh? Takato-mon?"
"Ugh, no I'm a human being. I'm not a digimon. My name is Takato."
"Takatomon!"
Takato falls to the ground and a sweat drop comes across his face. Guilmon looks down and a smile comes across his face. Takato only sighed and muttered to himself over what Guilmon had just called him.
"Um, Takatomon? You fall down? Can we sleep now?"
**************************************************************************************
[The dark anonymous Hypnos theme plays]
Meanwhile, the Hypnos crew were just as busy as ever as they were tracing another location of a 'Wild One' that was soon going to bio-merge. Riley and Talley worked hard to locate and delete it as soon as possible.
"Looks like we got another wild one in our hands," said Riley.
"And its going to bio-merge any moment if we don't stop it," Talley replied.
"Heh. This one shouldn't be a problem. We should be able to delete it at any moment now."
But just as he said that, the red dot on the screen quickly vanished, which indicated that the next digital being was going to bio-emerge.
"Too late. Its going to bio-emerge," said Riley.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a blue-haired young man with glasses was sitting down on bench outside of Shinjuku Park. He looks at his watch and he gasps at what the time was. It was about a quarter to eight o' clock. He picks up his bag and places his books inside it.
"Oh man! I should have been paying attention to the time! I can't believe this!"
"What's the hurry? I know we live in an apartment outside the city, but you don't have to go off the handle like that."
"You forget that traffic is bad at this time of day?"
"You don't even drive. We take a train," the witty voice replied.
The voice came from none other than the witty sea mammal known as Gomamon. Joe sighs to himself.
"I shouldn't have started taking night classes."
"Pain in the ass, isn't it?"
***************************************************************************************
Suddenly, a large cloud started to form within the West Shinjuku Park. Then it was transforming into a fog of some sorts. Just within the fog, a short, green digimon with a club in his hand appeared and he didn't appear to be very friendly either.
The girl known as Rika Nonaka was running across the park with her digivice in hand. She looked down at it and was picking up the location of the new digimon that just emerged.
"Bingo. We got ourselves a player for the game. Just what Renamon needs! I just hope this opponent is worthy enough."
"Renamon! We got ourselves a digimon to take out! Lets go!"
With that said, Renamon quickly appears and comes flying out from a nearby tree. Renamon looks right towards the fog and lands on her feet. She starts to run towards it, with Rika not too far behind her.
"I see it, Rika! I'm on it!"
They hoped that there weren't any by-standers to watch the scene, but they were wrong. A teenage boy watched the entire scene from over on the other side. This boy had slick black hair, a green school uniform and sported a cocky sneer.
"Ok. I just did not see that. Here I thought being a Spirit Detective was tough. That girl sure knows what she's doing."
"Hey, Urameshi!" a loud voice called out.
"Well, if is isn't Kuwabara?"
"Urameshi! Where the hell have you been?"
"I've been here and there."
"Uh. What the hell is up with that fog?"
"Beats me, but there was a girl who rushed in there."
"I'm getting a bad vibe from that fog."
"What? I think we should let that girl handle it. It's not our problem."
"You're right. This one is just a shrimp."
"I wonder what Koemna has in store for us now."
"I don't know, but I could use more vacation time after dealing with those Saint Beasts."
"Tell me about it. There's no telling what that toddler wants us to do next? Maybe change his diapers?"
"Don't make me even think about it, Urameshi."
Rika pushes herself right through the fog and was now looking towards a showdown between Renamon and the green goblin-looking digimon. Rika takes out her digivice.
"Lets just see what it my digivice says about this guy."
[Goblinmon. Rookie Level. Virus Type. Attack Techniques: Fireball & Goblin Strike]
"So, Goblinmon, huh? Ugh! Just a rookie-leveled! Renamon, walk all over him!"
"As you wish, Rika!"
Renamon goes flying up and then delivers a flying kick into Goblinmon. Renamon then starts hammering away at the little rookie with rapid fists. Goblinmon goes flying back and lands onto the ground. He picks himself up and holds out his club. Renamon gets into a fighting stance, runs at him once again and begins another assault on the goblin.
[Ruki's theme "Moon Fighter" plays]
Just then, Calumon was walking by and noticed the large cloud. A concerned look comes across his face as he walks towards it.
"Hmm. I wonder who would be smoking? Ugh, I don't like smoke. But I wonder what all the commotion is all about. This looks no fun. I better find somewhere else to play. There has to be tons of fun places to find in this world!"
The little digimon begins hopping away from the scene leaving while the two digimon continue their relentless assault against one another within the cloud itself.
"Rika, for some reason, he's not losing strength! We better think of a new, good strategy."
"Uh, yeah. This is pretty boring. Lets give you a little upgrade, Renamon."
Rika pulls out a card and twirls it around her hands. She then holds out her digvice and then slashes her card through the digivice's slot.
"Card Slash! Option Card! Booster Chip!"
But just as Renamon was gaining more power from the booster chip card, the Goblinmon quickly began to evolve as a fragment of data started to swarm all over his body. And then he was able to evolve into his champion-leveled form, Fuugamon. This quickly catches Rika by surprise.
"But, how?! He wasn't even supposed to evolve!"
[Fuugamon. Champion Level. Virus Type. Attack Techniques: Evil Hurricane & Heavy Swing]
"This should be not a problem for me, Rika. You gave me power from that boost chip. I can take this freak."
"Finish him!"
Renamon quickly flies right at Fuugamon and started hammering away at him. Unable to defend himself and react quickly, Fuugamon goes flying back and crashing through a nearby wall. Fuugamon manages to slowly rise to his feet and sees Renamon flying onto the ground swiftly.
"That all you got, fangy?"
Fuugamon gets offended by her comments and goes charging right at her with his club raised over his head. Renamon quickly jumps into the air and then crosses her arms against her chest. Then she uncrosses them and unleashes a barrage of diamond-like spikes at the ogre.
"Diamond Storm!"
Fuugamon was unable to move as the rapid fast diamonds were able to hit him head-on and causing his whole boy to freeze all of a sudden. Fuugamon lets out a howling scream as his body quickly began to dissolve. Then he explodes into fragments of data, which Renamon quickly began to absorb.
"That's more like it, Renamon. Not even a champion level can be able to top you. Now load, Fuugamon's data and collect all of his energy. Because, next time, you will win without my help."
With that said, a cold smile comes across the face of Rika while watching her digimon partner gathering a load of data. This was obviously something new for digimon, since digimon weren't able to absorb data after defeating their enemy. Rika and Renamon were now able to demonstrate this new form of fighting.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at Takato's house. Guilmon was lying on the floor with a large blanket covering him but then his eyes opened quickly while picking up an energy level increasing. This obviously was coming from Renamon, who was still absorbing the last of Fuugamon's data. Guilmon growls and looks right out the window. This causes Takato to wake up and tend to hios partner.
"What's wrong, boy? What do you see?"
Guilmon stood there with an angry look on his face, while not paying any attention over to his human partner. Takato noticed that Guilmon's irises were smaller than usual, which indicated that something was troubling Guilmon. Takato began to ask himself what could be bothering Guilmon.
"Why don't you tell me what's wrong, Boy? Is there's something that you see that I'm unable to see? Maybe there's an enemy digimon in the city. Nah it couldn't be. But could there?"
Takato looks out the window with a confused look on his face as he held Guilmon and began to walk him right over back towards their bed. Guilmon laid on the ground as Takato placed the blanket back on Guilmon to keep him hidden from his parents. Tomorrow will be a very busy day since Takato has planned to find Guilmon a new home.
**************************************************************************************
The next morning, Takato goes walking out the back door while collecting the leftover bread from the other day. He began to collect as much bread as he could, in order to keep Guilmon from starving during the whole day. Just then, Mrs. Matsuki comes walking in and notices Takato gathering a load of bread.
"Takato! Did we discuss you bringing animals into the house?"
"Um, yes. A couple of weeks ago."
"Ok. I just wanted to remind you. We can't have any animals here since this is a bakery and animals are attracted to the bread. Now we can't any of that. Is that clear?"
"Mom?! Me?! Ha, you must be crazy. Why would I bring an animal to the house? Well, I got to go! I'm going to be tardy again."
Takato goes running out the backdoor and goes to look to see if the coast of was clear. He then looks up at his open window. He calls up to somebody.
"Guilmon! Come down here!"
Just then, a box comes tumbling down onto Takato, which contained Guilmon inside. Takato falls back as Guilmon was right on top of him. Takato manages to gag out and mutter a few words.
"Uhh, next time… Let me know when you're going to jump… Man you're heavy…"
"Uh huh."
***************************************************************************************
Moments later, Takato was taking the directions that Kari had previously told him the other night on how to get to her apartment home in case he got lost. But he was able to find it, but had to carry the box containing Guilmon.
"Are we there yet, Takatomon?"
"Yes, shush. You don't want people to hear you, do you?"
"Well, no… But it's really dark and stuffy in here."
"Well, just sleep or something. And don't snore."
"Ok… Nighty night."
Takato manages to make it over to the apartment homes and walks right over towards the entranceway. He then goes walking by and sees a door reading 'N-56'. Takato takes a look at the written directions and then it reads 'N-56'. He was at the right apartment door and placed the box while sighing with relief at the same time.
"Whew. We're here, Guilmon. Now all we need to do is knock on the door."
Takato knocks right on the door and then waited for the one named TK to open it. Just then, he heard footsteps coming towards the door and the doorknob opening up. A young, blonde-haired young man answered the door. Takato looks right up at him.
"Um, you must be TK. Hi, my name is Takato. I'm one of Ms. Kamiya's student."
"Yeah, I know. I heard a lot about you. So, you're the big digimon fan that Kari was telling me all about. She even told me that you have a digimon of your own."
"Um, yeah. That's right. His name is Guilmon and you think you could handle taking care of him?"
"Takato. I take care of digimon practically all the time. I know what I'm doing, besides I have a digimon of my own."
Just then, an orange flying-bat pig creature comes jumping on top of TK's hat. Patamon looks right down at Takato and the box containing Guilmon.
"Hi there. I'm Patamon. And I'm guessing that you got a friend for me to play with today. I can't wait."
"Um, thank you, Mr…"
"My name is Takeru Takashi. Just call me TK, kid. You better get going or you'll miss you're bus. Don't worry. We've got everything in hand. Take care."
"You too! Thanks, TK," exclaimed Takato as he goes running out to catch up to his bus, which arrived late as usual.
TK looks down at the box and then opens it. He then jumps back when Guilmon goes hopping out. Guilmon smiles while eating several loaves of bread. Patamon's eyes widen as he grabs himself a loaf of bread.
"Hey, where's Takatomon?" asked Guilmon, "Why isn't he here?"
"He's gone to school. So Patamon and I are going to take care of you just for today until you're friend finds you a new home this afternoon."
"Ok. Hum, who are you?"
"I'm TK."
"TK-mon?"
"Huh? No, my name is T. K."
"He obviously is a new born," Patamon remarked, "Don't worry, I can teach him a thing or two. Lets go explore around, Guilmon. You'll like it here."
"Okie dokie," Guilmon said.
"Wow. So this digimon came to life from a boy's own drawing. Man, I should stopping writing novels and get into the artistic career. Maybe I can also create a digimon friend for Patamon to play with. Ah, kids these days are a lot smarter and more creative than when we were kids back in our days. Well, time to get back on writing that novel."
TK goes walking back into the bedroom as he continued to type away on his latest chapter on a novel he was writing about the adventures he and the older Digi-Destined had many years ago.
***************************************************************************************
Later that day, Takato and his classmates were outside for P.E. class. He and Kazu were competing on who would jump the farthest. As usual, Kazu would always end up on the winning end and would rub that into Takato's face.
"You may have beaten me in that card game, chumley, but I've just proven that I'm the farthest leaper this school has ever seen," Kazu remarked, "And you certainly owe me a rematch in that card game after school."
"Yeah, whatever. Get ready for another butt-whooping," said Takato.
"Don't worry, Takato. You still jump a lot further than most kids in school, anyway," Jeri said.
"Aww, you think," Takato said while a red blush forms across the bottom of his face.
Jeri takes notice of that and smiles. Kazu grabs Takato and then places him in a headlock. They began a little game of wrestling to gain his retribution for the digimon card game loss. Takato reverses and applies a reversal with a headlock on his own. The other children were laughing as the two were rough housing, but not in a violent way.
Kari looks out towards where her students were playing and a smile comes across her face. She wipes her forehead and looks up to see Gatomon watching her from high above in a tree.
"How's the view from up there," asked Kari.
"Nice view. I can practically see the whole school from up here. Hey, I'm glad you decided to let me tag along. I was so sick of being cooped up all alone."
"Well, just as long as you're outside and not seen by the school faculty, you should be fine."
"Sensei," exclaimed Kenta, "Ow! I think I hurt my foot."
"Oh no. How did you break it?"
"Well, its not actually broken, it just hurts."
"Ok, I better go take you to the nurse."
Kari helps Kenta to his feet and goes to take him inside where he would be properly treated by the nurse.
"Wuss! You're just backing out on my challenge to that card game," exclaimed Kazu, "Besides, you never back from our card battles."
"Maybe he just doesn't want to wrestle," said Takato, "I don't blame him. Sometimes you take it too seriously, Kazu."
"Dude? Are you kidding me? I'm not even that good. I just do it for the fun of it. Oh well, I always got you as my opponent," Kazu replied, "Now lets finish up that match."
"You're on," exclaimed Takato.
Gatomon looks on while quirking an eyebrow and sighing in disbelief. She couldn't understand how boys could roughhouse each other even during the PE period.
"Boys, they never learn. They always end up getting hurt, but what the heck? They're boys. But I wonder how Patamon is doing. I bet that he's having fun with Guilmon."
**************************************************************************************
Back at apartment home, Patamon and Guilmon were practically have a bread-eating contest, to see whether which one east the most bread. So far, Guilmon was winning as he stuffed himself with another loaf. Patamon then grabs another and stuffs one in his mouth.
"You'll never take me alive, Guilmon! Two last pieces of bread! Who's going to survive?"
"You're one, Patamon! I haven't given up yet!"
"Heh. We'll just see about that one."
Patamon grabs himself a piece of bread and stuffs it right in his mouth. Guilmon struggles to pick up his last loaf. Guilmon stuffs it right in hit mouth but he burps and falls down onto the ground with an exhausted look on his face. Patamon cheered as he danced around but then falls down next to Guilmon. Both wanted to regurgitate due to upset and oversize stomachs.
"Lets not try that again. Ok, Guilmon?"
"Agreed."
***************************************************************************************
Later after school, Takato went by as he picked up Guilmon from TK. He waves out to TK while Guilmon waved to Patamon.
"Bye, Guilmon! Come by, anytime you want! Thanks for the bread!"
"No problem! I'll come by and beat you next time!"
"In your dreams."
"Thanks TK. I don't know how I could have done with without ya," Takato said.
"Hey, you can take Kari. Besides, Guilmon was pretty cool. You two should stop by sometime."
"We will. Bye TK! Bye Patamon!"
Takato and Guilmon go running off as they headed out towards Shinjuku Central Park, in which they would find a new home for Guilmon to dormant in while Takato goes out for school the whole day.
"What a nice kid."
"But his digimon is a real pig, I tell ya."
"Patamon, speak for yourself."
**************************************************************************************
As soon as they made it towards the park, Takato and Guilmon have been exploring to every single location and still no good hiding places. Takato practically was ready to give up.
"Its no use, we can't find anything around here. Nothing for digimon your size to hide out in," Takato said, "But lets look on the bright side, at least, you got huge trees and brushes to hide out in."
"Yeah."
The two teenage boys, from the other day, were at the same park. The pint-sized teen with the pyramid necklace was shuffling through what looked like a deck.
"Did you get any new cards, Joey?"
"You bet, Yug! I'm getting pumped up for this Battle City tournament!"
"I can just hope that to find more about my Millennium Puzzle's hidden secrets."
"Hey, is it just me or did some red dinosaur just pass by around here? I could have sworn I've seen one."
"You must be seeing things. Maybe, you're a little nervous for Battle City?"
"No way! I just thought I saw what looked like a red dinosaur. Uh, I must be loosing it."
Yugi chuckled at Joey's witty remarks. He did not realize that Guilmon had passed through the bushes with Takato.
Just then, Guilmon began sniffing the air. He smelt a scent of a digital life form. He sat up and began to sniff the air in search of something of this supposed digimon. Takato takes notice of this and goes to follow him.
"Guilmon! What do you smell?! Slow down, boy!"
Guilmon stops as he comes across what seemed to be a young boy with darkish-blue hair with an orange vest and blue jeans on. Takato stops and then looks right at the boy.
"Hey, I've seen you in school, you're…"
"Henry Wong. And I take it that red dinosaur is your digimon?"
"Um, well. Yeah, but how did you know he's my digimon?"
The boy smiled and then stepped to the side as a doll-sized mammal comes stepping into view. He noticed it's long, floppy ears on the side of his head and the tiny, horn on the center of his forehead. He looks right up at Takato with black, beady little eyes.
"Ah! No way. That's Terriermon," exclaimed Takato, "But how?! Is he yours?"
"So you're the goggle boy that I hear some much about. Well, in that case, I might as well introduce myself…"
"Umm, Terriermon. He already knows your name," said Henry.
"That so? Well, what do you know about me? I must be pretty popular. But then again, I'm always popular. I have a ton of fans," remarked Terriermon.
"Um, yeah. It's nice to meet you, both. Well, I was just out here looking for a good hiding place for Guilmon since my parents won't allow animals into the house. And that way, I can come by to see him everyday after school."
"Hmm, I see. Well, I just walked up and I saw something that could be the perfect hiding place for Guilmon. Now you guys stay right here and I'll go to make sure that the coast is clear. Be back in a flash," said Henry as he heads off.
"Don't worry! We'll be back after two drinks of a digimon's tail… Wait… Or is it the other way around? Ugh, I just don't under these human clichés. I'll just stick to being my usual witty and wise ass self," Terriermon said as he followed Henry.
"That was nice of him. Wasn't it, Guilmon?"
"Mmhmm. And Terriermon is a good joker."
Just then, something comes flying from out of nowhere and Guilmon quickly senses it coming. He turns around growling but ends up getting kicked right in the face by what seemed by be a foot. Guilmon goes falling back onto a nearby steel fence. Takato reacts and then turns around to see a girl with a broken-heart shirt and noticeable red hair. Then a yellow, bipedal fox instantly appears on top of a tree branch. She began to speak.
"Ugh. What a lousy fighter. But a fight is a fight."
"Huh?! How did you find us?! And who is that?! That your digimon?!"
"None of your business, gogglehead! Its time to fight! Renamon, walk all over him!"
Takato stood there frozen and still as a statue as Renamon looks right down at Guilmon with a sneer on her face. Guilmon was too out of it to even react. Rika simply smiles as Renamon quickly gets into a battle stance.
What will Takato do to save Guilmon?! Will he lose his digimon friend to Renamon?!

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Renamon vs. Guilmon! An Ordeal of the Tamers?
Takato was facing off against the girl named Rika, who has her eyes set on Guilmon. She looks over towards Renamon and nods her head to her digimon partner. Renamon returns a nod as well. Takato can easily tell the expressions on their faces that they really meant business.
"Alright, Renamon! This is our chance to upload the data of this digimon! Don't let me down!"
"Hey! Just what is your problem! We never did anything to you," snapped Takato, "My digimon never attacked yours. That's not what I call fair."
"Fair?! What is fair to you then, goggle boy? Don't you even realize that digimon are meant to fight."
"That's not true! Digimon are supposed to be your friends, not just tools. Plus, Guilmon would never want to attack yours, but since you made the first attack. Looks like we have no choice."
"My, you're so naive, little boy. Renamon will obliterate your little dinosaur."
"Who you calling a little boy?! We're new to this sort of thing. We've never done this before!"
"Never done what before?"
"Um, good question."
"Ugh, shut up. Renamon, take him down and load his data!"
"As you wish, Rika!"
[Final Fantasy VII Battle theme plays]
Renamon goes flying up into the air and looks right down at Guilmon with tenacity in her eyes. Guilmon slowly gets to his feet and shakes the cobwebs out, so to speak. Renamon launches herself like a torpedo and goes flying down to attack Guilmon. Guilmon quickly takes notice of her and the irises in his eyes tensed up. Now he was getting angry and was about to attack.
"Just who is this guy? I've never seen a digimon like him, before. I just hope Rika gets a good reading through her analyzer."
Just then, Rika was not getting any kind of a response from her digivice as he displayed a holographic image of Guilmon but the only information read was No Data. Rika growled to herself in frustration.
"Nothing! Stupid piece of junk must not be working! How can I not get any information on this digimon? Is like he or something?!"
Takato gasps when he turns to see Renamon swooping down to attack Guilmon. He calls out to his digimon partner to catch his attention.
"Guilmon! Get out of there! She's going to attack! Move out of the way!"
It was to no avail. Guilmon still stood there like a statue. Renamon crosses her arms and then unleashes a barrage of diamond-like spikes at the crimson-colored dinosaur.
"Diamond Storm!"
But as soon as the attack hit Guilmon head on, they had no effect on him. It looks as though that his skin was tough enough to withstand such a devastating long-range attack such as the Diamond Storm. As soon as the smoke cleared away, Guilmon looks right up at Renamon and then powers up. A large, red fireball comes hooting out from his mouth and hurtling towards Renamon like a missile.
"Pyro Sphere!"
Renamon manages to maneuver away just in time and then goes flying onto the ground. Renamon goes charging at Guilmon to attack him with rapid fists. Guilmon managed to maneuver and block each of the punches with rapid speed of his own.
"Wow, I've never expected a rookie digimon to withstand this much head on attacks as this one is with Renamon. Usually, rookies and certain champion-levels die after getting hit by the Diamond Storm. But somehow, this one is still taking a beat and not going down. I'm going to have to step in and give Renamon a hand sooner or later, whether I like it or not."
Renamon throws a punch, but Guilmon counters it. The fire-breathing lizard picks Renamon up and then tosses her into the air. Guilmon flips over and then shoots out more fireballs from his mouth.
"Pyro Sphere!"
Renamon managed to shake the cobwebs out and watched as several Pyro Spheres were coming her way. Renamon crosses her arms and phases out of the way. This catches Guilmon off guard as Renamon quickly reappears behind Guilmon. He turns around, but only to get a kick to the side of his head. Guilmon goes tumbling down onto the ground. Renamon quickly gets into a fighting pose while Guilmon slowly tries to get to his feet.
"C'mon, Guilmon! Can you get up?!"
"He's done for! Man, you're such a rookie. Now, I'm going to have Renamon finish off your dream digimon. Ready, goggle head?"
With that said, Rika reaches down into her satchel and pulls out a modify card. Takato quickly takes notice of this and then begins to wonder to himself of what she could be up to next.
"Just, what is she up to? And what is he doing with that card?!"
Rika pulls out her card and then holds out her digivice. She then slashes the card right through its slot as it powered up a bright aura.
"Card Slash!"
"What? Card Slash?"
Takato takes a look at his digivice and noticed that it was of the same model that Rika was using. He could clearly see a slot where the card could be slashed through. He then realizes that he has no cards to back him up.
"Darn! I should have realized what this digivice is for! Guilmon! She's got cards that help Renamon in the fight! Its time to pull back!"
But Guilmon didn't listen to a single word that his Tamer was shouting and continued his relentless assault on Renamon. A smile forms across the face of Renamon as her left fist transforms into what looks like a cannon gun. Guilmon growls as he circles Renamon.
"Renamon! Get him!"
Renamon then unleashes a powerful blast from her cannon arm and lets loose a barrage of shots at Guilmon, but the red dinosaur was able to maneuver away from each blast being fired away at him.
Takato could only look on with a shocked look on his face. He held onto his digivice tightly and was now hoping for Guilmon to pull through this fight and get away as soon as possible, since he never expected Renamon to attack all of a sudden and too soon.
"Hey, girl! You better call her off! We weren't prepared!"
"Whatever, gogglehead. And my name isn't girl. I happen to have a name. And like I said before and I'll say it again, digimon are meant to fight! What else do you think they are used for anyway?!"
"Um, that's like asking the meaning of life."
"Renamon, proceed by killing him and loading his data."
"Yes, Rika. I shall not let you down. I promise."
Renamon goes shooting more shots over at Guilmon, but he manages to run around in order to avoid being blasted away. Guilmon goes jumping Renamon from behind and then tackles her down onto the ground. Guilmon latches his mouth onto the side of her cannon arm and relentlessly gnaws away without letting go. Renamon tried to push her adversary off with all of her might, but to no avail.
"No! Get up, Renamon! Get up!"
"C'mon, Guilmon! Stop! If you can hear me, stop please! We came here to find you a new home! Please, I hope you can hear me, cause I know you can! Guilmon!"
Guilmon continued to gnaw away at Renamon's cannon arm and would not let go at any given opportunity. This was his chance to beat Renamon and prove himself as a great adversary to her, which would indeed upset Rika. But then, Guilmon comes to his senses and then looks right over towards Takato. His eyes return to their normal state and he quickly releases his grip on Renamon.
"Oh, did you say something, Takatomon?! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Lets go play!"
Guilmon runs over towards Takato and as soon as possible. Renamon quickly flips up onto her feet and faces towards Guilmon. She then points her cannon arm right over at Guilmon, in which she would blast him away and load his data.
"Get him, Renamon! Don't let him off of your sight!"
Renamon charges up her arm cannon and a flash of energy was blinking from within. This quickly catches the attention of both Guilmon and Takato. They watched as Renamon looked to blast them right out of existence with this one single shot. They both cried out as the blast comes right for them at rapid speed.
[FFVII Battle theme ends]
"Takato!"
"It was nice knowing ya, buddy!"
But just then, a blast comes out of nowhere and knocks the cannon blast away and shooting up into the skies instead. A huge explosion occurs as Rika and Takato look up in awe.
"Stop this!"
They all turned around to see who was calling out to them to stop their fight. To their surprise, it was none other than the boy named Henry. He looked down at them with a serious look on his face, especially giving a glare right over to Rika. Terriermon comes out of hiding and exposes himself.
"Thank goodness! You saved our lives there," said Takato, "How do I owe it to ya?"
"Save that for later. There's just something that troubles me over this whole situation. And that concerns this girl over here. Hey, I've seen you and your digimon going out and killing digimon relentlessly and loading their data. What is your deal?"
"What is my deal? Um, don't you realize why digimon are here? The reason I have Renamon is to fight. Digimon only exist for competition and killing digimon is my own little game. I want Renamon to get as strong and to be the best."
"You know there's more to digimon than just competition and surviving," Henry replied, "You really have a different point of view concerning digimon."
"That's what I was trying to tell her but she sent Renamon to attack Guilmon for no apparent reason," Takato said.
"For no reason?! Wake up and smell the coffee, Renamon only wants Guilmon's data, nothing else matters. Its not like digimon are real anyway."
"How do you know that? As long as digimon are here, they as real as they can be," said Takato, "Just look at Guilmon and… Terriermon?"
"That's me! Hey! More digimon! I knew I wasn't the only one in town."
Terriermon runs over towards Guilmon and dances around him like the silly ol' floppy-eared bunny that he is.
"Ugh, so what does that floppy-eared weenie have to do with any of this? I can see that he's not good competition for Renamon," remarked Rika.
"Hey! Hey! Who you calling a weenie?! Just because I'm a small little buy, doesn't make me a weak little bunny for you to kick around like some sort of soccer ball! I pack quite a punch and I was the one who intercepted her blast. You two can thank me later. Please no autographs," Terriermon said to Takato and Guilmon.
"Well, what do you think digimon are for, smart guy," asked Rika.
"Plenty of reasons. They're not our tools or our pets either! They can be friends and they should have the freedom to do whatever they wish, just like we do," Henry replied.
"Oh, well that's all good and well. But Renamon chooses to fight and I stand by her decision. So, if we're through with this chat, we should be going now. Renamon lets go. See you later, losers."
Renamon quickly phases out and follows Rika off through the trees from above. Takato looks out and begins to wonder how Renamon could quickly disappear just like she did just a moment ago.
"Hey, you guys alright?" asked Henry.
"Oh we're fine. We just didn't expect an attack like she just pulled off," said Takato, "I guess we should be prepared next time."
"Yeah, she's one tough customer. I've bumped into her a couple of times."
"Just who is that girl?"
"Her name is Rika Nonaka. Didn't you know that she was the champion of the recent Digimon Card Game Tournament, she won first place. She really believes in her mind that she is the best."
"Yeah, no kidding. She just displayed that when she had Renamon almost wipe out Guilmon from existence. I was just so afraid of losing him."
"Well, you don't have to worry now. By the way, Terriermon and I found a good hiding spot for Guilmon. You might like it. We'll lead the way."
"Thanks, I really appreciate. There was no way I am going to keep Guilmon in my house without my parents knowing."
"Right and its best to do it this way. Come on."
Henry and Terriermon led Guilmon and Takato right over towards a trail down the shaded forest. As soon as they walked up the trail a few moments, Henry pointed over towards a small bunker on top of a small hill. Takato's eyes widened with satisfaction. Guilmon runs up towards the steps and runs inside the bunker.
"This is perfect, Henry! I never thought that this would have been the perfect place to hide Guilmon! How do I owe it to you?"
"You don't. I'm just being generous and besides, Guilmon would cause a public scene if he were to expose himself."
"Yeah, no kidding," said Takato, "Just one question that I've been meaning to ask you."
"Ask away."
"Well, it's about these devices."
"Digivices?"
"Yeah, well. How did you get yours?"
"It's a long story, but how did you get yours?"
"Well, it just happened yesterday. I found a blue card of some sort and decided to slide it into my card reader and then some sort of beam of light comes and glows over my card reader. After that, I watched as it transformed into the digivice you see in my hand. But I wonder why we got these, because don't you think its a coincidence?"
"How? A coincidence?"
"Well, there were some kids seven years ago with these same kind of devices and they used them to help their digimon grow and evolve. Remember the Virus battle?"
"Yes. I remember that, but what does this have anything to do with us?"
"Well, call me crazy. But I just found out that my new substitute teacher happens to be one of those children from that battle. I even saw her own digivice and I saw her digimon. That's right, Henry. She's a Digi-Destined. A Chosen Child…"
"Wait a second, you mean that your teacher is a former Digi-Destined?! One of THE Digi-Destined that saved the planet from Virus?"
Takato nods and then looks over his digivice and closely examines it. It was a much different model from the one Kari uses to help Gatomon evolve and aid her into battle.
"Hmmm, I don't know. I'm going to have to see it in order to believe. But for now, lets just keep an eye on our digimon. And make sure not to run into that Rika girl again. She's trouble."
"Agreed."
The two boys turned around and saw their digimon playing with each other. Terriermon was top of Guilmon's head and bouncing off onto Guilmon's tail while springing up as if he were a slinky. The two digimon chuckled as they were having fun playing with each other. Their Tamers looked on with smiles on their faces.
"By the way, do you know anything about the upcoming Battle City tournament?" Takato asked.
"Yeah. It should be a blast," Henry replied, "I don't have any Duel Monsters cards, but I hear they have a good set."
"If only it wasn't too late to sign up. Oh well. We've got other stuff to take care of."
"Agreed. I heard that some Yugi Muto kid beat the actual Duel Monsters Creator himself."
"He defeated the Duel Monsters creator? Maximillion Pegasus?! The Pegasus?!"
"Yeah and no one has ever heard from Pegasus since then. It's creepy if you ask me."
"Tell me about it. I'd like to see Rika compete with those duelists."
*************************************************************************************
[Hypnos theme plays]
Meanwhile, the Hypnos crew was having a difficult time trying to locate all of the wild ones that have bio-emerged. They missed a few, but a few, in their mind, would still lead to disastrous effects on the real world. However, they had no idea that these bio-emergences have been from only a few digimon. Thus far, none of these digimon has been creating a public scene of some sorts.
"Sir, there hasn't been any recent locations of any Wild Ones since yesterday," said Riley.
"No wild ones? This is rather strange. Usually we would have at least one wild one trying to bio-emerge its way into our world each day. But we should really keep a close look out for anymore on the horizon. I have a feeling there will be a wild one that will attempt to emerge by the end of the day," Yamaki said.
"We're right on it," replied Talley.
Yamaki looks on while flickering his lighter and watching the screen with patience, but lately with all of these bio-emergences, Yamaki's patience was quickly wearing thin. He wants nothing more than to rid of all of the digital beings he calls "scum" and "trash".
"It won't be long. I will rid of these digital invaders. I shall teach them never to set foot in our world. They were never meant to be here nor are they welcome to otherwise. You can bio-emerge all you want, but in the end, I will have the last laugh. One who laughs last, laughs loudest!"
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kari was walking through the streets while carrying her school briefcase along with her. Another hard day in school and teaching has already taken a toll on her. But she loves her job and loves to participate in activities with children. But now, she would go home and relax in a nice, warm bath.
"Gatomon, the coast is clear. I think you can come out now."
With that said, the digital kitty comes jumping out from Kari's bag and landing on her two feet. Kari walks along the street with Gatomon following her side. She was quite relieved that her digimon partner hasn't caused a scene. To them, Gatomon was merely just an everyday kitty to them.
"I'm just glad these people haven't panicked when they saw you. They just think you're an ordinary house cat."
"Yeah but I'm a kitty with an attitude. So, what's for chow tonight?"
"Dinner? I haven't really thought of that. I really need to call TK and ask him."
"Ok, cause I'm really starving over here. Oh, man. I hear a fish market calling out my name…"
"Well, you're just going to have to wait till tonight. Maybe fish sounds good for tonight."
"Hey! You just read my mind. Fish was the first dish that came to my mind. Pretty obvious, since I'm a cat."
"Heh, you're a weirdo, Gatomon. Sometimes you even confuse me at times."
"Thanks, I try."
As Kari passed by, another girl looked on with awe. She seemed to be around Kari's current age. Her hair was blonde as canary, she has a noticeable red bow over her head and her eyes were blue as heaven itself. Just then, a small, white cat came rushing towards her. He had quite a noticeable moon crescent over his forehead.
"Mina! Wait up! How long are we going to be shopping for?"
"Oh quit bragging, Artemis," Mina replied.
"You know here I thought you wouldn't have changed since Galaxia was defeated."
"I needed a day to relax, anyway. Hmm, I wonder where Rei is? She said to meet her here at this stop. We were going to meet up to study for our exams."
"Who knows? Shouldn't we get something to eat, first?"
"Well, now that you ask, I say we better get some grub."
"Finally!"
Just then, Gatomon stopped walking and then stood still for a moment. She began to hiss and turn over towards another direction. Kari could easily tell that Gatomon was sensing something coming along the way. Kari pulls out her D-3 and finds a flickering light, which was indicating the location of a Digi-Destined or even a Tamer.
"I'm picking up a reading from a location of another Chosen child. It could be another one of the Digi-Destined or even… Takato…"
"But what if you're wrong? I sense that this digimon has a really high ki level, even at rookie-level."
"It could be Guilmon! We better check this out."
"Right!"
Gatomon sprints off and followed her instincts, which would lead her towards the location of this child. She could easily tell that this ki level came from Guilmon, since he has the highest level in rookie form. Gatomon has a good belief that he may very well be stronger than both Agumon and Veemon.
Just as soon as she stops at a nearby corner, she turns to see none other than Guilmon pointing his nose over towards her. Gatomon jumps back with her claws scathed. Guilmon backs away with a cool and calm look on his face.
"Don't worry, Gatomon. Its just me and Takatomon."
"Whew. Thank god its only you two. I just picked up a ki level and I had to figure that it was you, Guilmon."
"Who else could it be?"
"Maybe, Renamon," said Takato, "Or even Terriermon…"
"Whoa! What? Who? When? There's more digimon," Gatomon asked frantically.
Kari stops right where Gatomon was standing and then walks over to see none other than Takato and Guilmon along with her. Kari wipes her forehead and catches her breath.
"Whew, its only you two. We thought that another Tamer was around," Kari said, "But we just realized that it was just you two."
"Well, actually. We did see two other Tamers like myself and they have the same digivice as I do," Takato said.
"Huh?! Ok, now this is getting pretty confusing! How can there be other kids with the same digivice model as yours? Am I missing something here?! Ok, I better calm down. I just got out of work and now all of this..."
"No. No. It's ok. We'll explain everything," Takato said, "Now where should we begin..."
"You can start off by telling us who these two Tamers are and what kind of digimon they have as partners," Gatomon remarked.
"Oh yeah. Right. Ok. Here goes nothing…"
***************************************************************************************
[Ruki's theme "Moon Fighter" plays w/o lyrics]
Rika was sitting alongside a tree just a few blocks away from the park. She was obviously focusing her attention on the boy named Takato and his digimon partner, Guilmon. She sighs and tosses a rock down onto the ground.
"Who said that digimon were friends?! Ugh, what a joke. Digimon are only supposed to be used as tools in fighting and loading the data of other digimon. Renamon only seeks to fight and I expect her to be the best, no matter how great the situation is. That goggle head and his dinosaur haven't seen the last of us. Mark my words! I will see to it that Renamon loads that stupid dinosaur's data. Then Renamon shall be the strongest digimon warrior ever."
"Renamon!"
With that said, the neon yellow-coated fox appears from out of the shadows with her arms crossed. She tilts her head up and looks right over towards Rika with cold and calculated blue eyes.
"Yes, Rika?"
"We're heading out to a really good hiding spot. There, we better sure to lure that goggle head and his dinosaur buddy in. I won't rest until I have you load his data, got it?"
"Yes, Rika. It's a very good plan. Shall we get started right away?"
"Yeah. The sooner, the better."
"Lets get ready then."
Renamon quickly phases out and then heads over towards what looked like a good hiding spot, which in fact was more than enough room for a digimon battle. The fight destination would now take place within a nearby parking garage. Rika goes and follows Renamon's location through her digivice. She stops at the parking garage and runs inside. She stops and turns to see Renamon standing alongside with her. Rika looks up at Renamon with a cold smile on her face.
"Lets get to work."
***************************************************************************************
Takato had now just finished explaining everything that has occurred thus far between himself, Henry and Rika. Kari begins shaking her head, as if she had already gotten to what he was saying. Gatomon was just as surprised to hear the news of two other digimon within West Shinjuku. She couldn't wait to meet them, unless Renamon was friendly enough to greet her after hearing about Rika.
"Man, this Rika girl reminds me a little bit when Ken was the Digimon Kaiser," said Gatomon, "But I'm sure she isn't all that bad."
"Right, maybe we can explain to her that digimon aren't tools to be used in battle. That boy, Henry, was right. But, by what you've told me, this Rika doesn't sound like a very good person, but I'm sure she still appreciates her digimon."
"Whoa, are you sure about that," asked Takato.
"Takato. I've talked to a lot of Digi-Destined kids, including my own friends. I'm sure she'll understand to what I'm talking about."
Just then, Takato's digivice was starting to go off and a light was flickering on his radar. Kari's D-3 was also going on the fritz as it was picking up an activity level from what seemed to be the location of a Tamer. Kari looks out and Gatomon picks up an energy signal from another direction. Guilmon growled and then turned the same direction as Gatomon.
"Its over in the left direction," said Takato, "I wonder where it's leading to."
"We won't know until we find out," said Kari, "I'm willing to bet that its just near the parking garage, since I just passed by there a minute ago."
"Then, that's where we are heading," exclaimed Takato.
The digimon sprinted off first as they headed off towards the destined location by picking up the energy signal from this certain digimon. Kari and Takato followed along with their respective digimon partners to go check out to what they could have found.
The crew rushed through the streets, which caused Takato to accidentally bump into a young man and a blue-haired girl with pigtails.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you!" the goggle head exclaimed.
"Gee. I wonder why they're in such a hurry?" the young man pondered.
"Let's go, Tenchi! The grocery store has a half-price off sale going on. It only lasts for another hour!"
"Right. Let's get going Sasami."
"I'm planning a big feast. I'm glad we decided to vacation out here for a couple of weeks."
"I've been hearing these reports of monsters crossing over to this city. I wonder what that is all about?"
"Who knows? Let's get going, or we'll have to pay for the food for their full price."
"Right!"
Tenchi and Sasami went about their walk towards the grocery store. They and just arrived in town for a vacation, and they had no idea of the digimon invading the city lately.
Meanwhile, Guilmon and Gatomon both ran inside the parking garage. They surveyed the area and were now picking up a very close ki level. Guilmon turns to one direction while Gatomon turns the other way. Kari and Takato come running in. They looked over to see their digimon partners still surveying the area.
"Anything yet," asked Takato.
"Not yet. But something is obviously in here," said Guilmon.
Just then, a shadow looms within the darkness and the two digimon were unable to detect it. Takato looks out and sees Renamon standing right behind both Guilmon and Gatomon.
"Guilmon! Look out!'
Renamon pulls back her fist and punches Guilmon right in the face, just as he turned around to face her. Guilmon goes flying and crashing back into a nearby column. Gatomon gasped and looked over towards Renamon.
"Guilmon! Why you! Take this! Lightning Claw!"
Renamon easily maneuvers to the side and quickly catches Gatomon off guard with a swift kick to her stomach. Gatomon falls down onto the ground while clutching her throbbing gut.
"Oh no, Gatomon," exclaimed Kari, "Just who is that?!"
"Want to know the truth," a voice said calmly from within the darkness.
Suddenly, a young girl comes walking out to reveal herself. The broken heart symbol on her t-shirt was a good indication to who it really was. Takato and Kari both turned to see her. It was Rika and she was smiling coolly like never before.
"So, you managed to bring a friend along, goggle head," Rika asked sarcastically, "What's the matter, did you need to be pampered along the way?"
"No! Please listen! You have to stop these acts of violence! Digimon are not fighting tools and Renamon should be your friend," said Takato.
"Why should I listen to you? I seek only to be the best and Renamon seeks only the best Tamer? So why should we go all soft hearted and let feelings get in the way of our business? Guess what? You're living a fantasy world, goggle brain."
"Enough! If there's something that I can't stand is the fact that a Tamer like you is killing digimon for no apparent reason. Now if they were evil and trying to destroy innocent lives is another thing, but killing digimon who accidentally came into this world is no excuse," exclaimed Kari, "And I don't know who you are, but this has got to stop. You and your partner should be friends. Friendship makes you stronger. What you're doing is not the way it's supposed to be done."
"Oh, and who are you to give me lectures in the first place? Oh please, you're just as naive as that boy there. Now if you excuse me, I got unfinished business to deal with. Renamon. Load their data and show no mercy."
Kari and Takato could only look on with shock as Renamon walked over towards the two fallen digimon as she looked to kill them and load their data, but then a door opened up from out of nowhere catching Renamon and Rika off guard. Takato turned and sighed a relief when he saw none other than Henry and Terriermon walking inside.
"Yeah! Henry! Thank goodness," exclaimed Takato, "Things were getting way out of hand here."
"I can see that. Rika. Rika. Rika. You still haven't learned your lesson, haven't you? The young woman you see in front of you happens to be one of the Digi-Destined children that defeated Virus seven years ago," Henry said.
"What?! She's one of them?!"
"Yeah and guess what? It was obvious that she was the one who defeated Virus. I could be wrong, but that's my belief."
"No, they said Celesta X defeated Virus. Not this ungrateful woman over here," remarked Rika, "Give me a break. She wouldn't know how to tame a digimon through a wet paper bag."
This was more than enough to piss Kari off. She despises being regarded as a weakling. Kari holds onto her D-3 and looks to see Gatomon slowly getting to her feet. Renamon is unable to detect Gatomon's movements as the digital kitty goes jumping right at her and executing a vicious punch to her face. Renamon goes tumbling down.
"Ugh! Renamon!"
"Shall I go now, Henry? I think I'm up for a little butt whooping myself."
"Alright, just don't…"
"I know. I know…"
[Breaking Point's "One of a Kind" plays]
Renamon quickly flips up and kicks Gatomon to the side. Guilmon gets to his feet and powers up while a large red fireball comes shooting from his mouth.
"Pyro Sphere!"
Renamon watches the fireball coming right for her and she quickly phases to the side. Gatomon comes out of nowhere and goes for another Lightning Claw and it was able to connect this time. Renamon goes tumbling back and Guilmon goes charging right for her once again. Guilmon delivers several head butts into her gut.
"Renamon! I said that you wouldn't let me down! Now fight back! We're loading their data, no matter what!"
After hearing those motivational words, Renamon quickly regains her strength and delivers a barrage of rapid punches at Guilmon. She then turns and spin kicks Gatomon to the side. Renamon goes over and picks up Gatomon, while spinning her above her head. She then tosses Gatomon onto Guilmon. Renamon hops into the air and then crosses her arms.
"Gatomon! No!"
"Guilmon! C'mon boy!"
"Say goodbye to your pathetic digimon. Renamon its time…"
"Yes, Rika. It is time… Diamond…"
Just then, Terriermon comes walking alongside the path in between the line of fire. Renamon gasps when she sees Terriermon and is unable to stop her upcoming attack.
"Get out of the way!"
Terriermon looked up and gasped as the barrage of diamonds were coming straight for him. Henry gasps at what he sees and goes running over in order to push Terriermon to the side. But just as soon as he was about to reach to Terriermon, Henry's digivice started to emit a bright light and the others take notice of this. Henry holds out his digivice and watches as Terriermon was now set to evolve into his champion-level form.
["One of a Kind" ends]
[Digimon Tamers First evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION!
Henry's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Terriermon's body. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.
"Terriermon shinka!"
Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms and a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Gargomon!"
As soon as the smoke cleared away, Gargomon now was standing in the place of Terriermon. Henry could only look in awe and shock at his newly evolved digimon, but yet he looked a bit disdained.
"But… He promise me that he wouldn't do it…"
"Whoa! That's Terriermon?" Takato asked, "That must be his champion-leveled form!"
"No doubt! I think he should be more than enough to handle Renamon," said Kari.
[Gargomon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Gargo Laser and Bunny Pummel]
Gargomon turned to face Rika with a smile on his face. Rika gasps and then backs into a corner as the gun bunny was slowly confronting her. She wanted to scream once he held out his chain gun arms towards her, as if he were ready to blast her away. Renamon takes notice of this and goes charging right at Gargomon.
"I've got to stop that gun bunny before he hurts Rika!"
Renamon jumps onto the back of Gargomon and applies a takedown on him. Gargomon goes gun crazy and fires away at his surroundings. Guilmon and Gatomon slowly regain their senses and notice Gargomon losing control of his firing.
"He obviously can't be controlled," Kari said.
"That's why I didn't want him to digivolve! I just knew he would end like this. We have to stop him before he blows this place apart!"
"Right! Guilmon! Stop him!"
"You too, Gatomon!"
Gargomon jumps around and causes Renamon to go falling off of his back. Renamon lands on her feet, but gets met with a chain gun smashed into the side of her face. Renamon goes down hard with a huge, red welt on her face. Gargomon was about to make his next move, but then Guilmon and Gatomon came out of nowhere and took down Gargomon, pushing him right through a nearby wall.
Calumon looks on, without being noticed, and he now has a sad look on his face. The red diamond-like shape on his forehead was emitting a small, red glow but then it fades away. The little digimon sighs and walks away.
As soon as the smoke cleared, Gargomon was laid on the ground with both Guilmon and Gatomon lying right on top of him. It now looks as though Gargomon has regained his senses and calm at the very moment. Kari, Henry and Takato all ran over to help their digimon out before the authorities would arrive to investigate the area.
Renamon quickly phases out, while Rika stands at the corner with her eyes widened in fear. She breathes heavily while clutching her chest. She clearly was scared to death.
"Do they always act like that when they evolve?"
The commotion startled a young man with a pair of goggles in his pocket. He dropped to the floor with a blue dragon-like creature.
"Whoa! What the heck was that?!" Veemon asked.
"I don't know, but with all these reports of monsters. It's making me suspicious!"
"You want to go check it out, Davis?"
"Let's go, Veemon!"
"Not so fast, Davis!" a woman's voice called out.
This was more than young to cause Davis to freeze and stop at his tracks. He turned around and faced a rather beautiful, girl with jet black-hair. Her looks were quite seductive, but Davis didn't seem to be happy to see her. This girl was one of the artificials, who were unleashed by Datamon. She turned on her former master and went about on her own. She was a pawn used to help Virus evolve into his final evolution. After she was released from within Virus, Davis started communicating with her and eventually married her. Even though she has love for Davis, she doesn't seem to show it.
"C'mon, Sonja! I've got to go inside and check it out."
"I can feel Gatomon's ki in there. We'll leave it to Kari and Gatomon. It seems that they're helping out that Takato boy. Let's go."
"But…"
"Now!"
Davis and Veemon shrieked as they followed along with the bossy former artificial.
"Next time, I'm getting to the bottom of the crap that has been going on," Davis thought.
***************************************************************************************
The Tamers and their digimon had just retreated out of the scene of the crime, after what had just occurred between the whole fiasco involving Gargomon and Renamon.
Guilmon and Gatomon watched as Gargomon was sitting on top of his head as if he were trying to balance himself despite having such a large and big-boned body. The two digimon simply laughed at him for trying so hard to hold his balance.
"Very funny! Lets see you two try it," Gargomon snapped, "Its not very easy. Well, how about it?"
"Sorry, but I don't want to ruffle my head and have the blood rush into my brain," said Gatomon.
"Maybe I can give it a try," replied Guilmon, "Like this?"
Guilmon gets into the same position as Gargomon and heads right on top of his head and using his tail to help balance himself, unlike the much larger, tailless Gargomon. This further infuriated Galgomon as he was soon losing his balance once again.
"Hey! No fair! You're using your tail! Next time, don't rely on your tail so much," exclaimed Gargomon.
"Hehehe. I can't help it if I got a big tail. Besides, your cheating with those guns your using."
"So? They're apart of me when I'm Gargomon. I can't help it."
The two Tamer children chuckle while watching their digimon bickering with one another. Kari smiles and sat on the ground while giggling at their conversation.
"You know. I must say, your digimon are pretty impressive. It's hard to believe that they are very strong even in their rookie-leveled forms. Back in the old days, our digimon were not as strong as yours are."
"With the help of our slash modify cards, we use them to boost up the energy for our digimon and that makes them stronger in their battles."
"I see. That's what Takato told me when he and Guilmon had their first encounter with Renamon. But how come I never knew about these digimon cards? I find it hard to believe that digimon could become such a popular commodity after what happened seven years ago," Kari said, "But then again, anything can happen."
"By the way, is there a card with me on it," asked Gatomon.
"Yeah. I got one of you," Henry said as he pulls out a Gatomon card.
Gatomon takes it and looks upon herself on the card's front cover. She closely examines its stats and rubs her chin, then pats her head as if she were looking herself in the mirror.
"I sure do look styling," the digital cat remarked, "But I look so much better in cat person."
"Can you at least be not show any vanity for once in your life," asked Kari.
"Nope, a kitty must be picky on her looks and appearances. That's just the way we are," Gatomon replied.
"Oh, no wonder why," Kari said giggling.
Henry looks over towards Gargomon and then a look of disdain comes across his face. Takato and Kari take notice of his sudden sadness and question him.
"Henry. What's the matter? You look down. So why did you not want Terriermon to digivolve," asked Takato.
"Because… as you can see. He was already losing control when he started to attack. This is not the first time that happened."
"When was the last time that he lost control," Kari asked, "Maybe if you tell us, especially myself, since I've been exposed to digimon for nearly my whole life."
"Ok, well. It started a couple of weeks ago. I just received a Christmas gift. It was one of the latest digimon video games…"
Flashback
Henry and his family members were gathering around while receiving their gifts from their father. Henry received the latest digimon game that he has always been wanting and now he has it.
"Alright! It's the new digimon game! Thanks, dad!"
Even after opening his gift and showing his satisfaction at receiving the game, he went ahead and tried it out on his computer. Once he slid the CD game into his D-drive, he went over several of its instructions on how to upload it. Once he was finished with that, he proceeded to begin his very first game.
On the screen, there was an option box on several digimon to choose from. Henry looks across to see familiar digimon such as Gorillamon, Monochromon, Seadramon and Terriermon, himself! Henry then clicks right over towards Terriermon.
"I'll start off with somebody small. Its more challenging that way and plus, this little guy has quite a power reading. I want to make him as strong as possible."
As soon as he selected Terriermon, he watched as Terriermon did his 'little victory dance', which made the boy easily amused. As soon as he read the last of the game's instructions, he began his first actual digimon adventure.
While playing as Terriermon, Henry noticed a rather, large hairy digimon with a huge cannon on his left arm. He quickly realized that this was none other than Gorillamon.
"Heads up, Terriermon! Gorillamon is one tough customer. He's a champion-level, so I think we need to give you a little power boost."
Terriermon looked across to see Gorillamon staring him down with a vicious look on his face. Terriermon motions over towards Gorillamon, bends over and smacks his behind, much to the dismay of the large beast.
"Um, a rather amusing taunt. Now, lets get down to business! Card Slash!"
With that said, Terriermon felt his energy increasing as he starts firing away at Gorillamon with several pullet-like blasts known as 'Bunny Blast'. But these only made Gorillamon flinch and even barely affected him. Terriermon looks on with disbelief as Gorillamon laughed at him and pointed his cannon right over towards the little digimon.
"No! Ok, Terriermon! Lets try a little speed boost."
Gorillamon fires a shot right over towards Terriermon and the blast hits right near where he was standing, causing Terriermon to go flying back into a nearby rock wall. Gorillamon charges over towards where Terriermon was laying. Terriermon quickly gets to his feet and goes flying up. He then delivers a head butt right into the forehead of Gorillamon, catching the hairy beat off guard. Terriermon gets behind Gorillamon and then spins himself as if he were a helicopter propeller.
"Take this, stinky! Terrier Tornado!"
The tiny digimon was able to take Gorillamon down and cause him to fall off of his feet with the effective attack. Gorillamon tried getting up, but his cannon arm was too much weight to even handle. Terriermon lands and dances around with a smirk on his face.
"How's that for stepping up and falling down, stinky?!"
"Alright! Way to go, Terriermon! You should really cut down on the trash talking but you're doing fairly well for a rookie-level. Now lets put the… What the?!"
Gorillamon manages to get his second wind and fires a cannon shot that nails Terriermon, sending him flying back. Gorillamon quickly phases out and flies right over towards Terriermon, and executing an elbow shot into his gut.
"No, Terriermon! You have to withstand it!
Terriermon falls face first onto the ground and then looks right over towards Gorillamon, who was now slowly walking over towards the fallen warrior. Gorillamon picks Terriermon up by his head and plans on smashing him into the ground.
"Alright! Here we go! Another power boost card! Card Slash!"
But as soon as he did that, the whole computer screen turned black and then green lettering appeared in rather slow motion. The letters read...
[Digimon Tamers First Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION
"Terriermon shinka!"
Then Henry watched as Terriermon was quickly starting to evolve into his champion level form. The little digimon's skin started to peel away to reveal grid-like insides, which indicated that his body was definitely made of data. Then a protective shell started to cover his body and he was evolving into his next form. Right in Terriermon's place was none other than the chain-gun swinging and pant wearing Gargomon.
"Gargomon!"
Gorillamon steps away. Gargomon stands right in front of him with a devious smirk on his face.
"Thats Terriermon's champion level form! All right! We're back in the game!"
"Gargo Laser!"
Gargomon started firing away at Gorillamon, which caused the beast to retreat into another direction. Gargomon goes and chases Gorillamon off while going gun crazy and continuing firing away his shots at the retreating beast.
"Alright! That's it! Yeah! Go, Gargomon!"
But just then, Henry just realized something and noticed Gargomon's unusual behavior. He was acting much differently than when he was Terriermon. Henry realized that he couldn't even control him, which caused the boy to become sad.
"Why are you still attacking?! You won the battle! No! You're just like the rest of them! I just don't know who you even are anymore..."
End of Flashback
Takato and Kari looked at Henry with awed looks and were now getting a better understanding on how Henry was unable to control Terriermon in the first place.
"You're still obviously still a rookie at this sort of thing," Kari said, "You have to give it some time. Terriermon will eventually gain control over his new form. Heck, when I first met Gatomon, she was afraid of getting near me but as soon as I became the Eighth Digi-Destined, we knew that we'd stick to each other's side and watching each others backs. That's what friends are for, Henry. You will just need to give it some time. Besides, I think Terriermon is already appreciative to what you have done for him as of late."
"Really? That's good to know and hearing all that makes me feel better."
Flashback
Henry watches as Terriermon was slowly getting to his feet with a beaten up look on his face, after being ganged attacked by several enemy digimon. Henry could only look on in horror as Terriermon fell face first and was out of it.
"What have I done? I shouldn't have put too much power into you. I'm a terrible Tamer… What was I thinking? I'm sorry…"
Suddenly, there were drops of tears coming down onto the keyboard as Henry lowered his head in shame. Just then, a blue card suddenly appeared among his pile of modify cards. He gazes upon it and picks it up.
"I don't remember having a blue card. But maybe, I can use it to help restore Terriermon. I'm just going to have to keep my fingers crossed."
He puts the card right through the card reader's slot and it begins to glow. Henry gazed to at his card reader, which was now transforming into some sort of device. As soon as he touched his card slash device, it glowed a bright light and transformed itself into a digivice. It was the same model, which Takato had received. Henry then notices the digivice and picks it up.
"What is this? Don't tell me that it's for real, what is this thing?"
Henry then points it over towards his computer screen and a large beam of light comes forth towards the boy. Then something was lying in the palm of his hands. It was none other than Terriermon. Henry looked down at him and realized that he was real and not just an optical illusion. Terriermon regained his senses and then looks right up at a teary-eyed Henry.
"Hey? Would you stop the waterworks, here?"
Henry looks down and then a smile forms across his face. He lifts Terriermon up and then looks right into his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Terriermon. I shouldn't have done that to you. What was I thinking for sending you into battle like that…"
"You don't have to worry about me… I'm fine… See?"
The tiny mammal digimon crawled up on top of Henry's head and looked down at the sobbing boy. He knew that he could have to remain close to Henry in order to keep him from ever being down ever again.
"Momentai."
End of Flashback
"And that's how we eventually met. From this day forth, I will promise to myself not to rush into such situations such as pushing Terriermon into battle like that and not knowing that his champion-level form would be difficult to control at the same time. Terriermon, will you forgive me?"
As soon as he asked that, the now de-evolved Terriermon comes running up to him and jumping on top of his head with a smile on his face.
"Momentai, Henry! Everything just cool! Don't be so down on yourself. Can you do that for me, buddy?"
"Yeah. I promise."
Just then, Guilmon and Gatomon sensed a presence as they looked out towards another direction. Both of them have probably felt the presence of another digimon about to bio-emerge. Soon, Terriermon was picking up its energy signal. The Tamer boys take notice of this and take a look at their D-Arks.
"Its another digimon about to emerge," said Takato.
"Right! Its time to take some action," replied Henry.
"You think you're up for another battle, Gatomon?" asked Kari.
"You bet! My claws are ready to slice and dice like never before," Gatomon remarked.
With that said, Guilmon sprints off towards the location of the now bio-emerging digimon. Terriermon and Gatomon were next to follow him along. The Tamer boys and Kari then follow along.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the people over at Hypnos were just tracing the location of the new Wild One about to bio-emerge in what seemed to be in an old warehouse.
"Another wild one and its huge," said Riley, "And we were unable to stop it! It's going to bio-emerge!"
"Damn! Another bites the hook and breaks the line! These Wild Ones are becoming a pain!"
"Bio-emergence is now complete. And it's much larger than the previous wild ones before."
***************************************************************************************
As soon as the digimon arrived at the warehouse, a huge fog cloud was beginning to clear away and there stood a huge, ape-like monster with a cannon on his left arm. Terriermon peered right through and could easily tell who it was.
"Agh! Its him!"
"Who, Terriermon?" asked Guilmon.
"Gorillamon! Yo! It's been a while, stinky!"
The Tamer boys come running in and they gasped as they gazed over towards the towering monster, Gorillamon. Kari comes running in and then stops once he saw Gorillamon facing down the three digimon.
"Give us a reading through your digivice," said Takato.
"Ok. Lets take a look here," replied Henry as he looked over his digivice and a holographic image of Gorillamon is displayed.
[Gorillamon. Champion Level. Special Attack: Energy Cannon]
"I can't believe it! That's the same Gorillamon that Terriermon battled in my game," Henry exclaimed.
"How do you know for sure," asked Kari.
"Because I can tell, plus Terriermon knows him. So that's pretty obvious."
[Random Dragonball Z Battle music plays]
Gorillamon goes charging at the three digimon while thrashing out his arms. Guilmon and Terriermon all jumped out of the way while Gorillamon continued his relentless assault. Gatomon sprints right under the giant ape's legs and joins up with the other two.
"Alright! I say we all attack together and give him everything we got," said Gatomon.
"Right! I'll start off!" exclaimed Guilmon, "Pyro Sphere!"
Guilmon shoots out a fiery red ball and sends it flying at Gorillamon, causing him to flinch and fall backwards. Terriermon was next up as he shoots out several pellet-like green blasts.
"Bunny Blast!"
However, they only merely affected the towering beast and caused him to become immobilized at the last few moments. Gatomon goes flying up at Gorillamon and slashes across his face.
"Lighting Claw!"
Gorillamon goes falling down onto the ground as the three digimon celebrated their temporary victory. But that would soon be cut short as Gorillamon quickly rose up to power up his cannon.
"Energy Cannon!"
He sends out a powerful blast, which the three digimon easily maneuvered away from. The blast goes flying right through a wall and into a nearby brick wall, causing it to explode.
"Whew, that was a close one," said Guilmon.
"We should be really careful with this guy. He is dangerous and we should stop him as soon as possible," Gatomon replied.
"Leave it to me. I've fought this stinking monkey before. I think I should handle this," Terriermon said.
"But you alone? We can't risk you getting killed," Guilmon remarked.
"Don't worry! I'll be back before you know it! Just momentai!"
"Um, what exactly does momentai mean?"
"It means take it easy!"
With that said Terriermon goes stepping in towards the battle ground against the towering giant himself. Gorillamon looks right down at Terriermon and a huge smile forms across his face.
"Terriermon…"
"Yeah, its me, stinky! Ready for the rematch? And I plan not to evolve to beat you? How does that bring you?!"
Gorillamon responds by roaring loudly and pounding away at his chest. Terriermon watched as Gorillamon went charging towards him. Terriermon easily sees him coming and maneuvers away.
"Ha! Ha! Missed me!"
Gorillamon goes throwing rapid punches right over at Terriermon, in order to get a good hit on him. It was all but to no avail against the ultra quick Terriermon. Terriermon goes flying up and then delivers a head butt to Gorillamon. Terriermon lands on his feet and then spins himself like a helicopter propeller once again.
"Terrier Tornado!"
But this time, Gorillamon was able to see his adversary coming right for him and then bashes him with a fist to the little digimon's face. The force of the punch causes Terriermon to go flying right back.
"No! Terriermon! I can't afford to lose you! Hang in there, buddy," exclaimed Henry.
"Hey, wait a sec. What if you try using one of your cards," said Takato.
"Yeah! That's a good idea! Great thinking, Takato," said Henry, "I should have thought about that earlier."
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Henry pulls out a card from his pocket and then slashes it right through his digivice's slot.
"Card Slash! Training Grips card!"
"A training grips card? Why use such a worthless card," asked Takato.
"Just watch and learn," said Henry.
Terriermon sat up and then a pair of what looked like a pair of giant handcuffs appeared around his ears. They were training grips. Then he launches it right over towards Gorillamon. This resistance item would then latch itself and cuff Gorillamon, in order to restrain him down.
"Yeah! We got him," exclaimed Guilmon, "Lets all attack at full force once again! Pyro Sphere!"
"Cats Eye Beam!"
"Terrier Tornado!"
All of these attacks were more than enough to bring the giant ape down to his knees, and severely damaged him.
"They got him! But, he's not through yet! We still have to finish him off," said Takato.
"He's getting up! Look out Terriermon," exclaimed Henry.
As soon as Gorillamon was about to blast them away with another Energy Cannon, Terriermon saw him about to make his next move and goes flying right towards him.
"Bunny Blast!"
The small pellet-like blasts go shooting right into Gorillamon's cannon arm and the cannon arm starts to become filled with tons of energy that not even Gorillamon could withstand, which then caused him to explode and turn into fragments of data as a result. Terriermon runs over and goes to absorb the data, but then is stopped by the call of Henry.
"Terriermon! I don't want you to absorb his data!"
"Aww, c'mon Henry. Can't I at least do my victory dance?"
Terriermon stood on one foot and then danced around doing his little victory dance. Henry looks over at where Gorillamon was deleted and watched as Takato walked up towards him.
"So, why didn't you want Terriermon to absorb his data? That could have made him stronger."
"I don't want him to digivolve. That's just it. You told everything about not able to control him, so you got your answer."
"So what do you think happened to Gorillamon's data," asked Takato.
"Probably went back...to the other side. Wherever he came from," said Henry, "Probably the Digital World."
"But I thought for sure, Azulongmon closed up all of the gates using the power of the digicores. Only the Digi-Destined are able to enter, but how are digimon entering into this world? Is it possible that there maybe another Digital World,"Kari said to herself in thought.
The Tamers left to discuss this situation elsewhere and were soon gone as the local authorities arrived at the scene of the former battle site just a few moments later. It looks like Yamaki has a lot more problems in this situation than previously thought. These 'Wild Ones' are now becoming a public nuisance.
Unknown to the situation, Davis and Veemon had witnessed the entire battle unfold. They were taken back by how a rookie such as Terriermon was able to defeat a monster, such as Gorillamon.
"Davis? Did you see that?"
"I sure did. These Tamers are a lot better than I thought."
"I say we keep an eye on them."
"This 'card slash' sounds so cool! Speaking of cards, you looking forward to the Battle City Tournament?"
"You know I'm there!"
"If those Tamers can make their digimon stronger, then I should do the same for Veemon."
************************************************************************************
Takato and Henry stood over at the West Shinjuku Bridge while taking a look out towards the city. They would finish up their conversation concerning the whole digivolution theory.
"You know, Rika was wrong our digimon being tools in battle. They are not even pets either. They are friends to us and that's how they should be," said Henry, "I mean, Terriermon went out there today to protect me and he did a fine job handling Gorillamon even in rookie-level form."
"Well, I just wanted to pay back ol' stinky for ganging up on me when I had my back turned," Terriermon replied, "But yeah, that was sure fun."
"And I believe that our digimon are getting quite stronger after each battle. I mean, I found it shocking to see a rookie-level to defeat a large, champion such as Gorillamon. Guilmon, it's time to get tough. I'm going to make you as strong as possible."
"Yeah. But I am a little hungry after all of that fighting. Can we get some grub, Takatomon?"
"Sure, buddy. After all, a good fighter needs his nutritional meal. And for the last time, I'm not a mon. You got it?"
"Hehe. Ok, Takatomon," Guilmon said in a teasing manner.
Kari and Gatomon could only look on with smiles on their faces. Gatomon hops down and then climbs right up a tree.
"So, what do you think? Is it possible that Guilmon and Terriermon's ki levels will increase quickly? I mean, let's put it this way. These two could possibly be even stronger than Agumon or even Veemon."
"I'm positive," Gatomon replied, "After seeing Terriermon put the whooping to Gorillamon in the end, that was proof enough for me. I mean, not even I'm able to defeat a huge monster like that! But their power also has to do with the cards as well."
"Yeah. Those cards give tons of energy and speed boosts for the digimon. And why wasn't I ever told about the cards? Am I missing something here?" asked Kari.
Gatomon pulls out a card of herself and hands it over to Kari. She then jumps down and heads off into the forest to take a cat walk. Kari closely examines the card and she quirks an eyebrow.
"I'm going to have to give this a lot of study and examination. I want to know how these cards could be so useful in digimon battles. One way to find…"
Just how strong will Terriermon, or even Guilmon, be? And what is the secret behind the Slash cards? Will Rika ever learn that digimon aren't tools of a game?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Calumon's Playtime! Rika and Renamon's Meaning of Friendship!
It was a very beautiful morning in the city of West Shinjuku and it was the beginning of another busy day. People were getting ready to fight the morning traffic, in order to get to work. The children were gathering at their usual bus stops in order to be transported to their schools.
Even the children at West Shinjuku Elementary were no different. They would have to endure another busy and boring day in school. Usually, the children would all be inside of school by the time they would be dropped off by the buses, but this time, that wasn't the case.
There was a large gathering over at the front of the school. Children and teachers were all gazing over at what seemed to be mysterious trail marks on the whole play field. It seemed as though someone was playing a very clever prank.
Takato comes walking through the entrance gate and looked over to see his classmates gaping over at the marked field. He runs over to them, more specifically, Kenta and Kazu.
"Whoa! What the heck happened here?" asked Takato.
"Man! This is some crazy freakiness, dude! You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"No, what?" the goggle boy asked Kazu.
"Aliens! Extraterrestrials even!"
"Aliens? Nah, that couldn't be right. Or could it?"
"Well, whatever it is, everybody is getting concerned," Kenta said, "But I still think this is some sort of school prank! Otherwise, who could have done this?"
"Or a digimon, even,"Takato said to himself. "I just know Guilmon wouldn't do this after I specifically told him to stay in his bunker at all times, unless I'm around. Something awfully fishy is going on here."
Kari could only look on with shock and concern, much like the rest of the crowd was. But she was also beginning to think that this was the work of a digimon, and not an alien or a prankster as some students have claimed to predict.
"I'm going to need to ask, Gatomon about this. This happened overnight, I really need to know if she was behind this. I doubt it, though. Or maybe, even, Guilmon. I'll need to ask Takato sometime later."
*************************************************************************************
Later that day, the students, in Ms. Kamiya's class, were given an assignment and started off the today by doing as they were told, with the exception of Kazu sleeping through the class.
"Takato. Can I see you outside the class?" Kari spoke up.
"Um, yes, Ms. Kamiya," replied Takato.
The goggle boy goes walking out with Kari outside of the class. Kari closes the door and then looks over to Takato with a concerned look on her face.
"Now, Takato. I wouldn't want to be the one to ask you this. But, what did Guilmon do last night? I mean, since you and him basically hang out after school everyday."
"Well, I told him to stay in his bunker home and he did as told. But, I wonder, you think that could have been a digimon that caused that huge mess in the play field?"
"I think so. Well, if Guilmon had nothing to do with it. I'm just going to have to call, Gatomon myself."
Kari pulls out her cell phone and then dials a number directly to her home. She waited for a response while kneeling against the wall with impatience. After a few moments, there was finally a reply.
"Hello, Gatomon residence. How may I help you?"
"Ah, Gatomon. Do you answer to every phone call like that?"
"Well,hey, I have to keep this residence secure when you're not around. Besides, TK was too busy working on his novel. So what's up?"
"Well, its concerning a incident that occurred in the school yard, that may have happened overnight."
"Really? What kind of an incident?"
"There may have been somebody or something that broke into the woodshed of the playground equipment and messed around with the soccer lines and creating some sort of a mess with it. I think there's a huge possibility of a digimon being behind this."
"Really? Well, now that you mention it. I did happen to see some sort of mysterious digimon one day while I was taking a cat walk."
"Yeah? What did you see?"
"I don't know what to make of it. But, it was small and it bounced around quite a bit. I couldn't even catch up to it as soon as I tried to get a better view of it. But there's a good chance that thing I saw could have been the culprit."
"I see. Huh uh. We'll investigate this later. See ya, later. Bye."
Kari hangs up her cell phone and then puts it away. She sighs and Takato speaks up.
"So, what did Gatomon have to say?"
"Well. She said that she could have seen the culprit and we'll investigate this mystery after school. But for now, lets concentrate on school. You got an assignment to finish, or else its homework."
"Oh yeah! Can't have any homework if you have an investigation to cover today," Takato said as he runs back into the classroom to begin his investigation.
"But, I wonder. What kind of a digimon will we be facing today,"Kari said to herself.
************************************************************************************
During lunchtime, Takato was still overhearing several of his classmates still discussing the 'alien' issues, which really wanted to make him roll his eyes in disbelief.
"They really think that this is the work of aliens? Give a break. But then again, they probably don't know that it was the work of a digimon. But if I told them, they probably call me the 'alien' who messed up the play field."
Just then, Takato's thoughts were cut off as a girl's voice came interrupting him. Takato turned around to see none other another one of his classmates, Jeri Katou.
"Hi, Takato. Um, are you expecting anybody to sit here?"
"Um, well. No. Nobody."
"Oh. Well, is it ok that I sit here?"
"Sure. Here's a empty seat here."
"Thanks."
Takato looks over as Jeri takes a seat next to Takato while grubbing down on some cafeteria food. Jeri notices the boy looking over at her. Takato gasped and then turns around with a slight blush on his cheeks. Jeri smiles and then speaks up.
"So, what do you think could have made the mess out in the play field?"
"Well, good question. I really don't know. I can't make any claims until I see the culprit myself. I'm just so sick of hearing all of his alien nonsense. It could have been some kind of prankster."
"Yeah. I don't believe in aliens myself. Until, of course, I see them. Then, I'll believe it."
Jeri pulls out her sock puppet and then she changes her voice, in order to let her puppet speak.
"Arf! Arf! No aliens until we seem them to believe it!"
"Right. But, I might even investigate and find out who the culprit might be."
"Really? Wow, that's great. I hope you find out who really did it."
"Uh huh."
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within Shinjuku, a young man and a blue dragon-like reptile were walking down the streets. This was none other than Veemon and Davis. People were beginning to notice Veemon. However, Davis had informed them that it was his cousin wearing a suit.
"Veemon, you're causing these people look at me and I don't want to go answer a billion questions."
"Sorry, Davis. I just didn't want to stay home with Sonja. She'll crack the whip on me."
"Don't worry about it. I had to get some fresh air anyway. I love Sonja, but she can be a bitch."
"So, you said you wanted to get me to become stronger the other day?"
"Yeah. Plus, we got a chance to scope out these Tamers. I'm still finding it hard to believe that they're selling digimon cards. That is what must give those Tamer's partners their power."
"Like that little Terriermon."
"I wonder if that boy knows about Willis."
"I doubt it."
"Ok, I've got an idea. I say we keep our eyes out and see if we find those Tamers again. Then, we'll see them battle another digimon up close."
"Digimon have been popping out of nowhere these days. Are you sure Azulongmon closed the gates?"
"He specifically told us so. I have no idea what is going on, but it's making me want to battle again. It's been such a long time."
"Whatever you want, Davis. I'm ready to get back into shape."
"Yeah and I'll regain my status as a living legend! Davis, the living legend!"
"And his partner, Veemon!"
"I'll let you have some of my spotlight, sicne I'm such a nice guy."
Just then, a blonde-haired girl in her late teens looked over at the pair. She simply rolled her eyes and shuffled what looked like a Duel Monsters deck. This girl was Mai Valentine.
"Ugh, boys."
*************************************************************************************
Later that day, a group of kids were out playing on the soccer field, after the mess was cleaned up shortly. A huge competition was taking place between two rival teams. But little did they realize that somebody lurking within the bushes would be watching the game with sheer pleasure.
The one individual who was getting excited over the fact that a soccer game was taking place was none other than Calumon. He looked on with an awe look in his eyes.
As soon as a boy made a perfect soccer goal shot, his team mates were cheering and giving him high-fives. Calumon smiled and them jumps up cheering. Then he began to visualize himself as an extreme soccer player.
"Wow! It must be really fun to get some much attention after playing such a cool game!"
The boys were now getting ready to end the game. Daylight was soon beginning to fade away to darkness. Calumon looks on to see each boy, one by one, begin to leave for their homes. Calumon could only sit there and cheer.
"Yay!"
But there was no activity out on the soccer field and this quickly brings Calumon into boredom as all of the funs and games were over.
"Yay? Oh, this is so boring! Where are the cheering kids? I really wanted to play!"
Calumon goes flying out of the bushes and towards the soccer field. He stands right in the middle of it and sighs sadly. His huge ears shrunk down due to his depressing mood.
"Wow, if only those kids were still around. No. I can have fun my own way. All I need is that ball that they were kicking around."
Calumon goes walking towards the woodshed and noticed that there was a pad lock on the door. He tried with all of his might to pull it right off.
"Ugh. This thing won't open. That 'door earring' is pretty tough. It just needs some gentle persuasions."
With that said, Calumon picks up a heavy rock and them bashes it over the pad lock several times. After several hard hits, the pad lock comes falling off with a thud and Calumon opens the door. He awes in excitement as he gazes over at the soccer ball that was being used for the soccer game just a while ago. He kicks it out and then goes flying right after it. Calumon delivers a head butt to the ball and then starts kicking it around, mimicking what the kids were doing.
"Yay me! I'm the most clever and best digimon ever! And I'm going to have a lot of friends to play with now. If only there were more digimon around here, then I'd have tons more fun!"
As the little digimon continued playing his 'game', there was a certain someone watching from above a tree with a smirk on her face. Gatomon gazes down with her heavenly, blue eyes.
"Well. Well. Looks like the cat is in the bag. I was right. Well, you won't be celebrating too long, little one. I better tell this to Kari as soon as possible."
Gatomon jumps off the tree and then runs off towards home, where she would tell Kari about finding the actual culprit behind the whole play field disaster. It looks like Calumon is in big trouble if he doesn't find his way out of this silly predicament.
**************************************************************************************
As soon as Gatomon made it home, Kari was seen walking up towards the front door of her apartment. But just as she was about to turn the doorknob, Gatomon stops right in front of her with her arms extended out to prevent Kari from walking in.
"Gatomon! What a surprise to see you? Where have you been, anyways?"
"Kari. Hear me out. I've found the culprit. You want to see for yourself, then you'll come to the school with me, tomorrow morning."
"Hmmm. Well, it is Saturday tomorrow. But, al right! Just because it's the weekend and I have nothing else to do," Kari replied.
"Good. You could call Takato to come with us. I'm willing to bet that he's curious about the culprit too," Gatomon said.
"Finally, now we can get this little problem out of the way. I wonder who the culprit really is. I just hope we don't have to fight, whatever it is," Kari thought to herself.
***************************************************************************************
Dwelling at his den, Davis was taking it easy after a long day from running errands. He laid on the couch and grabbed the remote.
"I wonder what's on the tube? It's Monday."
"Hey, Davis! Turn on some wrestling!"
"Is WWE even on Mondays anymore?"
"Just because the good ol' stars are gone doesn't mean that it's not good anymore!"
"I know, but does our cable carry it anymore?"
"Check and see. I'm bored and want some entertainment."
Davis flipped the switch and quickly it was on a porn channel. Davis and Veemon's eyes widened at the sight of several girls stripping nude. Sonja came walking by and turned to face the television.
"Davis. I thought I told you not to watch that crap."
"But it was left on this channel. Don't tell me you were watching this?"
"Please. Unlike those brainless sluts, I think with my head and not my boobs. I'm a woman with good taste."
"Alright. I'll change it, but don't you go leaving it on this channel, so that you can bitch at me later on."
"Whatever."
Davis flips the channel and comes across a channel featuring one of Japan's greatest old school animes, Dragonball Z.
"Wow! They brought back my old childhood television show!"
"I remember this! Isn't this with that guy who turns his hair gold?"
"Goku? Yeah, this is it. Let's watch for old times sake!"
"But I wonder what happened to wrestling."
"I found out that Japan cut off WWE shows," Sonja replied
The duo cried out in horror. They couldn't resist Monday nights without wrestling.
"Just kidding, you babies. The show was moved to an hour later."
"Whew. Thank god. A Monday night without wrestling would suck," Davis replied.
"No kidding, or else its down to just Monday Night Football. We'll have to listen to John Madden and his commentary."
Sonja sighs in disbelief and walks away to settle in for the night.
***************************************************************************************
Just down the street from where Davis lives, a group of thieves were running across the streets. They hopped into their Mercedes and went to start their car.
"Damn! Our car isn't starting!" one of the crooks cried out.
"You sure somebody didn't cut the wire?" another one asked.
"Nope. That was I," an insect-like voice replied.
The thieves turned around to find a near eight-foot tall green humanoid insect with clawed limbs and a pair of wings. He lifted the back of the car and forced the thieves out. The thieves gathered around and placed their hands up.
"We give up! Just don't hurt us! You can even take our money! Shit, it's all yours!"
"I don't want you're stinking money," the insect replied.
"Then, what do you want?" they asked in unison.
"To put the money back."
"Ok, we'll do it."
"Now go or I'll eat you!"
The thieves screeched in fear. They ran off with the loot and were eventually stopped by local police officers. The thieves claimed to have seen a giant grasshopper, but the authorities claimed the thieves as nothing more than just drunks.
"Stingmon. You really shouldn't have gone and let yourself get noticed," a young man's voice said.
"Sorry about that, Ken. I just had to clean up these streets. There's too much filth."
"I know what you mean, but let's not turn this into another episode of COPS."
"Heh, I know what you mean. On the other hand, we better keep our eyes open for any invading digimon."
"I thought Azulongmon closed the gates. Something obviously wrong is going on around here."
"I'll just have some fun with these crooks. It's a good little warmup. Life has just been too boring without any action."
"I wonder how Kari is handling those Tamers. I hear that they're digimon have gotten stronger. This is something I have to see for myself."
**************************************************************************************
The next morning, Takato and Guilmon were walking over towards the school, which was barren since no kids go over on the weekend, except to play in on the soccer field or the playground.
"Here we are. This is my school, Guilmon," Takato said.
"This is your school? Wow! And there's a playground! Oh, are we here to play?"
"No. We're here just to take a look around and investigate. That's why we are here for."
"Aw, but I really wanted to play."
"We can do that later. We'll have a little game of hide and seek in the park. But this is very important," replied Takato.
"Ok, Takatomon."
They walked on over towards the school and Takato gazed over at what he couldn't believe from his very own eyes. Guilmon looks on and sees a very messy play field with tons of marking lines being drawn all over the field and several holes being dug up.
"Whoa! The principal sure isn't going to like at what he's going to see by the time Monday morning hits! Man, this is a mess!"
"This is what you were talking about, Takatomon?"
"Yeah and this is getting very serious."
"So, looks like I won't be investigating this alone," a voice called out.
Takato and Guilmon turn around to see none other than Kari and Gatomon looking over at them.
"Ms. Kami-er, Kari! What a surprise to see you here!" said Takato.
"Don't be surprised. I'm just as concerned as you are. Now shall we begin?" Kari asked.
Takato responds with a nod while Guilmon began to sniff the ground, in order to smell the footings of the culprit like a dog. Gatomon went ahead and began looking around through the bushes. Kari looked over at the holes on the ground and examined them a little closer. She came to the conclusion that they were dug up by somebody or something, more likely a digimon.
Takato walks over towards one of the crawling tunnels over in the playground while Guilmon crawled right through inside and sniffed out. Just then, Guilmon came to a complete stop and looked over towards the end of the tunnel to see a white creature with a red triangular diamond on his head and purple markings on parts of his body.
"Takatomon! I found something and my nose is pointing out to who I think is the culprit."
"I'll be right there, Guilmon! Kari! Gatomon! We found the culprit! Over at the crawling tunnel in the playground!"
Kari and Gatomon both ran over towards the playground and stopped right where Takato was pointing out towards the tunnel. Gatomon goes crawling right through and meets up with Guilmon halfway. They both crawl over and spotted the culprit, the digimon known as Calumon.
"Hey! That's him! That's the one," said Gatomon, "He's the culprit that we were looking for."
"But he's so tiny. There's no real reason for us to fight him," said Guilmon.
"That's the one? But he looks so innocent and cute," Kari said, "Maybe we can question him and he'll fill us in on what has been going on around here."
"Hey, little guy. Hey, can you hear us? Hello?"
Just as soon as Takato said that, Calumon overhead many voices all around him and fluttered his eyes open. He looks up right at Kari and Takato.
"Hi, there," said Kari.
Calumon jumps back, as a huge smile forms across his face and his ears fluttered open in sheer excitement.
"Hello! Culu! Culu!"
"Hi there. So were you the one who was making the mess around here," asked Takato.
"Mess? Gee, I never thought of it that way. I was just out trying to have fun and looking for somebody to play with. Maybe you guys can play with me," said Calumon.
"Well. We were just wondering who could have made this mess and now we know. We just thought that we would have been dealing with a dangerous digimon. But its a relief to know that you're the culprit," said Takato.
"Yeah, really. You want to play with us," asked Guilmon, "How about we go to the park and play?"
"Hmmm. Sounds like a great idea! I'll do anything to have some fun," exclaimed Calumon, "Lets go!"
Kari and Takato looked over towards each other with sweat drops coming down their faces. They couldn't believe that the real culprit behind the whole playground mess was a small, digimon who was out looking for fun. But they were relieved that they wouldn't have to be facing a large and nasty digimon who was hell bent on destruction. They managed to get themselves a break this time around.
***************************************************************************************
Later that afternoon, Guilmon and Calumon were playing with one another in Guilmon's bunker, while Takato and Henry were talking to one another about the whole incident.
"So, the culprit was this little guy, the whole time," asked Henry.
Takato replied with a nod and then looks over at Guilmon, who was tickling Calumon by simply sniffing him. Calumon was giggling like there was no tomorrow.
"Believe me. I was shocked to when I found out this little guy was behind it all," said Takato, "And now, the school has got to deal with another cleanup on their hands once Monday morning comes."
"I know what you mean," replied Henry.
"Well. You can just say that aliens were behind the whole scheme," said Terriermon, "Just have the little guy dress up as a UFO and let the cops sort him out."
"Terriermon, thats not going to help any," Henry snapped.
"What? It was just a suggestion. At least, its better than my idea to strap him onto a rocket and blast him into orbit."
"That will be enough out of you," said Henry, "Anyway, I would just keep him here with Guilmon. Besides, he doesn't look like he's got a Tamer."
"You think? I mean, who would really want to be his Tamer? He seems to be a free and independent digimon if you ask me," said Takato.
"Well, the more free they are, the more crazier they get. It must suck to be him."
"You think we should find the little guy a partner," asked Takato.
"Hmmm. Maybe, but who would be a good Tamer for… by the way, does he even have a name?"
"He told me that his name is Calumon," replied Takato.
"Do you know anybody from your class that would be a good enough Tamer for Calumon?"
"Hmm. Well there's Kazu."
"Is he into digimon?"
"You kidding me? He thrives on the card games alone! We practically compete against one another and he's pretty much obsessed in it. He's a pretty demanding guy. He also occasionally plays the Duel Monsters game. He tried entering it, but lost to some guy named Rex Raptor."
"Well, then. Lets go take a look and decide for ourselves."
Calumon looks up at the two boys and begins to wonder what they were talking. He was a little too naive to understand and just simply wanted to play, nothing else matters.
"I wonder why they are so serious all of a sudden. But they need to lighten up. At least Guilmon knows how to have fun."
Guilmon picks up Calumon and then places him on top of his head. Calumon looks right down at the red dinosaur-like digimon with a smile on his face. Then, they looked over to see the two boys walking out to search for a new Tamer for Calumon.
**************************************************************************************
Takato and Henry looked over towards the school playground to see Kazu playing a digimon card game against Kenta and another boy about their same age. Henry takes a close look over at Kazu as he began to think.
"So, what do you think? You think Kazu would make the perfect Tamer?"
"Well, he does look demanding."
"True. Kazu is pretty much hungry on power and I don't think Calumon would like that too much."
Takato begins to visualize at how Kazu would treat Calumon as his Tamer. What he could visualize is a huge boxing ring with Calumon in one corner, with Kazu as his Tamer manager. And on the other corner, he could see Guilmon with boxing gloves.
"Kazu and Calumon? No way. I just don't see that happening,"Takato said to himself.
"So, what do you think, Takato?" asked Henry.
Takato lowers his head and then nods in disapproval. Henry shrugs his shoulders and the two boys move on. Takato then had another idea up his mind and decided to share Henry with.
"I know. Maybe he can be the partner of a girl I know from class."
"Oh, really? Who?"
"Jeri. You think she would be good enough?"
"Hmmm. I guess, I haven't met her before, so I wouldn't know."
Takato begins to visualize on how Jeri would react if Calumon came up to her. He smirked at that very thought but then would easily see that Jeri would have screamed at the sight of Calumon and run for her life to get away from him.
"No, Jeri won't do either. This Tamer has got to be special. This Tamer really has to know how to take care of a digimon with proper care. I doubt Jeri would want anything to do with him."
"So, what's your answer, Takato?"
The goggle boy sighs and then nods in disapproval once again. Henry nodded and then looks out towards the crowd out on the streets.
"So, who else do you think could be a good enough Tamer for the little guy," asked Henry.
"I'm not sure, Henry. This is going to be pretty tricky. I've never been in such a situation as such as this. Its pretty tough to decide."
"Well, we better decide soon if we want to look for the best Tamer for Calumon. So Kazu is out of the question. The same goes for Jeri. Well how about my little sister, Suzie?"
"Your little sister? You think she would be responsible enough for him?"
Henry began to visualize Calumon with Suzie as his partner. He imagined poor little Calumon getting the 'Miss Pretty Pants' treatment by Suzie. His eyes widen in shock and then he sighs.
"No way! Poor Calumon won't survive a day with my little sister. Once she puts the 'Miss Pretty Pants' treatment on him, its all over."
"So, is that a yes, Henry?"
Henry lowers his head with a smile and then nods with disapproval. Takato sighs and then begins to look out towards the skies as he was thinking to himself.
"This is tougher than we thought. I guess Calumon is partner less for a while. You think its better that way for him?"
"I guess so. I don't think he even wants a partner if the only thing he desires is playtime."
"Right. So, I guess we should be heading out towards the park. I wan to go check on those two. They better not have gotten themselves into trouble."
"Well, Guilmon could have broken out to get some bread. No matter how many times you tell him, he's still not going to listen," remarked Terriermon, "Plus Calumon would rather break out to have fun rather to remain cooped up inside a bunker with a bread-munching dinosaur."
"Ok. We got your point. Lets go," said Henry.
The two boys headed out towards the park, where they could go check up upon both Guilmon and Calumon. Now daylight was beginning to fade away and dusk was soon going to arrive in a short while.
As soon as the boys passed by, a pair of eyes opened within some bushes. Davis pops his head through and pulls himself through.
"Let's go, Veemon. We've finally caught on to them. I'm not missing this for the world."
"Hang on, Davis. You think you could lend a hand here?"
*************************************************************************************
Back at the bunker, Guilmon and Calumon were both bored out of their minds, more specifically, Calumon. He just couldn't stand sitting around and not doing a single thing that he would consider fun. He looks right up at the red dinosaur with his huge eyes.
"Guilmon, do we really have to sit here all day? This is not what I call fun. This is boring!"
"I know. I know. But we have to do what Takato says. We can't leave here until he comes back. Plus, he would be very mad if he were to find out that we snuck out of here without his permission."
"But, he would be even more mad if he find out that you weren't having fun once and while. What do you think?"
"Hmm. Well, I never thought about it that way. Hmm. Well…"
Calumon sat there looking up at Guilmon with innocence in his rather large, oval eyes. Guilmon sat there and was thinking of reconsidering. Calumon simply stares at him with an awe look on his face.
"Hmm. Well. I guess it wouldn't hurt if we were to have a little fun."
"Mmhmm! Just follow me! I know the perfect place to play!"
"Ok!"
Guilmon breaks open the gate door and walks right out of the bunker. Calumon goes flying off right after Guilmon as they headed off towards the play field at the school. Meanwhile, Gatomon was looking right down at them from a tree above. She had a sly look on her face.
"Hmmm. I wonder what those two are up to."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Takato and Henry were heading back towards the park with Takato carrying a plastic bag full of bread that he decided to bring along to give to Guilmon and Calumon.
"This is hopeless. Just how are we going to find Calumon a partner," said Takato.
"Maybe he just isn't destined to have one at this very moment."
"Well, maybe Guilmon can do us all a favor and eat him up. That will make it all easier," remarked Terriermon.
"Terriermon!" Henry snapped.
"What?! It was just a idea."
*************************************************************************************
Guilmon and Calumon were now in the park as they walked over towards the woodshed full of the soccer equipment. But as soon as they got there, there were now two pad locks, which made it a lot more difficult for the digimon to break open.
"Aw, no! Now there are two door earrings. We can't break it open."
Guilmon then begins to dig a huge hole in the ground and Calumon looks over at the hole that Guilmon created. The red dinosaur was able to also dig a tunnel under the ground, which would lead them through into the bottom of the woodshed. Guilmon pops his head out and looks over at Calumon.
"I just dug a hole. Now we can get in the easy way. Follow me."
"Culu! Culu!"
Calumon jumps down into the pit and catches the soccer ball that Guilmon tosses him. Calumon goes flying out with the soccer ball in the graps of his little hands.
Calumon kicks the ball right over to Guilmon, which the red dinosaur was able to head butt the ball. He sends it back to Calumon. The ball flew so fast that it knocked Calumon a few yards away. Guilmon goes running over towards Calumon with concern on his face.
"Are you okay, Calumon?"
"Just fine! I've been rough housed like this before. Don't worry about me."
With that said, Calumon kicks the ball right back to Guilmon, who was now able to send it right back to Calumon with the force of his tail.
"Yay! Now this is what I call fun," exclaimed Calumon.
**************************************************************************************
As soon as the boys rushed over towards the bunker, Takato gasped. He did not find anyone inside the bunker. Not even a trace of bread anywhere. There was no Calumon or Guilmon, which made him worried as ever.
"Henry! They're gone! And I specifically told them not to leave this spot," Takato exclaimed, "I told them like 16 billion times not to leave!"
"Well, no matter how much you tell them, they aren't going to listen," replied Terriermon.
"We got to find them! They could be lost somewhere! Oh man! Oh man!"
"Chill out," said Henry, "We're just going to have to remain calm and think of once place of where they could be found."
Just then, a heavy fog was starting to form from the location of the school itself. The boys looked over and then nodded to each other. They both headed out towards the school, where they could find out what was going on. Maybe, they will find Guilmon and Calumon over there.
Davis looked over at the heavy fog covering the school area. He looked over to Veemon and nodded his head.
"Let's move, Veemon."
"Right!"
**************************************************************************************
Guilmon and Calumon both gazed at the huge fog that was forming. Suddenly, two small figures started to came from within the fog.
"What are those?" asked Guilmon.
"You asking me?! I don't like the looks of this," said Calumon.
"Ha! I knew I would find you two here," shouted a voice.
The two digimon turned to see Gatomon right behind them. Gatomon gasps as she watches two figures jumping out from the fog with sadistic looks on their faces.
"Ack! Stand back, guys," exclaimed Gatomon, "We got trouble!"
[Prodigy "Mindfields" plays from the Matrix movie soundtrack]
Gatomon and Guilmon stood right in front of Calumon, while shielding him from the two invading Wild Ones that have now bio-emerged. The two figures turned out to be none other than Vilemon. They gazed right over to the three digimon with demonic, crimson eyes.
"Beware our wrath! We are Vilemon! You wish to fight us here and now?! Lets begin," exclaimed one Vilemon.
"But we're no pushovers! C'mon, give us you're best shot," the others shouted.
"Ready to tangle with these morons?" Gatomon asked Guilmon.
"Ready! Steady! Go!"
Guilmon goes charging at one Vilemon with rapid speed and delivers a head butt to him. Gatomon goes flying up and catches the other Vilemon off guard.
"Guilmon! Calumon," a voice called out.
Guilmon quickly responds and then looks over to see Takato and Henry running by.
"Takatomon! Thank goodness, you came! Gatomon and I are handling these Vilemon! Protect Calumon!"
"Alright!"
Takato picks up Calumon while Henry pulls out his D-Ark and then a hologram image of Vilemon shows up with information about him.
[Vilemon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Nightmare Shocker]
"They're champion level, Terriermon. Try and lend them a hand," said Henry.
"I got it covered," responded Terriermon.
The little floppy-eared mammal goes hopping off of Henry's head and then joins in the fray to help out his buddies, Guilmon and Gatomon.
"Terrier Tornado!"
One Vilemon goes flying back after getting hit by the impact of Terriermon's Terrier Tornado. Guilmon grabs up the other Vilemon and slams him down onto the ground. Gatomon phases right behind one of the Vilemon and punches him right in the back.
"Alright! They're winning!" exclaimed Takato.
"Not for long!" exclaimed a Vilemon, "Nightmare Shocker!"
The powerful blast comes shooting out of Vilemon's mouth and blasting at the ground around the three digimon. The other Vilemon fires his own Nightmare Shocker. This was strong enough to send all three digimon flying back.
"Ugh, without Kari around, I can't even evolve into Angewomon," muttered Gatomon.
"Oh no! They're not looking so good," exclaimed Henry, "Its time to use some Slash cards! Hang in there, Terriermon!"
"Yeah, just before I get my butt kicked!"
"Time to end this! Nightmare-"
"Fire Rocket!"
Suddenly, a pair of fire blasts came shooting down from the skies. The Vilemon pair were startled by the event and jumped away. Takato and the crew turned to find Davis walking out through the fog.
["Run Around" plays]
"So, you're the Tamers?" he asked.
"Who's this guy? He looks a bit older to be a Tamer," Takato said.
"Davis! So you and Flamedramon must have noticed the heavy fogs lately?" Gatomon asked.
"Yeah and I'm sure no weather forecaster," Davis replied. "Show those two dog-face gremlins what you're made of, Flamedramon!"
With that said, Flamedramon came flying down through the fog. The Vilemon pair backed away.
"Whoa, this is you're partner?" Henry asked.
"Cool getup," Terriermon said. "And a nifty entrance to go along with it."
"Takato? I'm glad we have another friend on our side."
"Me, too."
"Now, give it to them, Flamedramon!" Davis cried out.
"Let's have ourselves a little barbeque, boys," Flamedramon replied. "Fire Rocket!"
The Vilemon were caught by the flames and were sent flying back. Flamedramon rushes over at them and delivers a double clothesline to them. One Vilemon jumps up and goes for another of its Nightmare Shockers. Flamedramon held his fist up and watched as the blast fizzled out.
"Barbeque them, Flamedramon!" Gatomon exclaimed.
Flamedramon flies up and twirls around. The Vilemon were unprepared for what was about to happen next. The armored warrior shoots down a fiery rain of blasts to immobilize the tiny devils.
"Al right! Time to end this!" Davis exclaimed.
"Right! Fire-"
["Run Around" ends]
Just then the Vilemon pair and Flamedramon were cut off short by the call of a voice.
"Yeah right! You two are too tiny to bother with! But a fights a fight!"
The boys looked over to see Rika standing behind the virus digimon pair with Renamon at her side.
"Hey! Who the heck is that?" Davis asked.
"Renamon! Take them down!"
"What do you say, brother?" asked a Vilemon.
"Well. I really hate to beat up on a girl but if it's a fight you want! You shall get!" the other one exclaimed.
The two Vilemon go charging right at Rika as they sharpened their claws. Rika quickly pulls out a card from her back pocket and then slashes it right through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Clone card activate!"
"Nightmare Shocker!"
"Whoa! She's a Tamer, too?!" Davis exclaimed.
"Let's see what this vixen is made of," Flamedramon thought.
But just as soon as the two blasts nailed Renamon, she was able to vanish out from the speed of light and a moderate explosion occurred with a huge fog cloud forming. The Vilemon flew down onto the ground with satisfied looks on their faces.
"Ha! We got ya!"
"Right on, dark brother!"
"Ha, the only thing you two got is the case of the ugliness. Look behind you."
The Vilemon turned around to see none other than Renamon with her arms stretched out and a barrage of diamond-spikes shooting down at them like missiles.
"Diamond Storm!"
But the Vilemon were unable to escape the barrage. The diamond shards stabbed them and their bodies quickly dispersed into streams of data. Renamon takes the opportunity and absorbs the data. The problem was solved and the Vilemon were no more. Another battle won by the Digimon Queen.
"Unreal! I can't believe this!" Davis said.
"Even I couldn't have done that," Flamedramon replied. "That card helped her avoid the attack."
"She didn't even think twice of absorbing them," Takato said to himself.
Rika turns around to face the other Tamers and their digimon with a cold look on her face as if she were already satisfied.
"Don't even bother with any thanks. I only did it for the data. By the way, you and that Flamedramon need to finish off you're opponents quicker."
"Hey! Don't tell my digimon how to fight you're dirty style!"
"Data?! You call them data?" asked Takato with a voice full of intensity.
"What?"
"Digimon are living creatures! And you kill them! Why?! You kill living creatures," exclaimed Takato.
"He's right! They are alive," replied Henry.
"What's with this little snob?" Davis thought.
Just as Rika was about to lower her head and think about reconsidering her actions, she nods her head and looks right back at them.
"No. Digimon are nothing more than data. Renamon! Lets go."
"Why I oughta!" Flamedramon growled.
"Hold it, Flamedramon! You might miss and accidentally hit the girl."
"I'm such a hot head, sorry."
But just as Rika was about to walk away, she turns to see Calumon standing right in front of her with a cheerful look on his face. She gasps and then steps back.
"Culu! Culu! You wanna play?"
"Hey! Don't you even think about touching him!" exclaimed Gatomon.
Rika stands there with an angry look and then starts to walk right past Calumon with Renamon following hat her side.
"Man, she's got some issues," said Takato.
"I'll say," replied Henry.
"Remind me to tell Sonja how much I love her, Flamedramon."
"This little bitch is worse than you're wife. She ordered her partner to kill those tiny little runts."
"Ha! Finally! I get have a little more fun!"
With that being said, Calumon begins hopping away cheerfully. Takato goes to stop him but decides that it was best not to even try.
"But its too dangerous to be out there all alone," shouted Takato.
"But it's even more dangerous than to stand around here and hang out with you! Goodbye, Guilmon! Till we meet again! Culu," replied Calumon.
The Tamers and the digimon all look out to watch Calumon hopping away into the darkness of the city knowing that there was no sense in stopping him. But they wonder if they will ever see him again.
"I just hope Calumon is going to be alright," said Takato.
"He's a strange little digimon. I've never seen anything like him," Gatomon said.
"I don't even think that he even wants a Tamer," said Henry.
"Feh. I wonder how long that Tamer would survive," remarked Terriermon, "I feel sorry for whoever will become his partner."
"Another night foiled again," Davis said, "It's back to the drawing board for us, buddy."
"No kidding. Next time, that fox is mine."
"I just hope he survives out there. It's not even safe to be out there during nightfall. Oh well, if he can manage to survive, then I shouldn't worry. But, what's the deal with Rika? Why does she crave on killing digimon and what gives her any right to call them just data?" Takato thought.
***************************************************************************************
Deep within the city of West Shinjuku, the streets and traffic have been just as busy as ever. Not a single sign of another bio-emergence from another digimon, which made work a little easier for the Hypnos crew.
However, there was one person who wasn't pleased with the number of bio-emergences depleting. And that would be none other than Rika Nonaka. Rika is listening to her headphones and she was beginning about what had just happened the other day.
"Ugh. My mom is so pathetic. Why did she even bother leaving during the middle of my class? Whatever, like I care what she does for a living."
Flashback
Several weeks ago, Rika was sitting down on her study table while shuffling through her old digimon cards. Just then, Mrs. Nonaka comes walking in to check up upon her daughter.
"Hey there. I see your playing a card game."
"Yeah."
"I see you're into tarot cards and want to perhaps be a fortune teller. Am I right?"
"Ugh..."
"Well, whatever it maybe, you look interested in it. I don't much time with silly ol' card games anyway. I got a whole world to explore with my glamorous beauty. A model such as myself needs the expose herself to the entire world and not be afraid to expose themselves."
Rika simply sits there with a smug look on her face while rolling her eyes in disbelief at how her own mother could care for her fashion shoots and not give a damn about what she likes to do for a living and that's to become a digimon tamer.
End of Flashback
"How would she know? She wouldn't even give a damn on what I like to do? A stupid card game, she says? Taming digimon is much more respectable than modeling. Besides, I'm really good at it."
Just then, a beam comes shooting from the skies above and down onto the surface from a very far off distance. Rika looks out towards it as the reflection of the beam comes glowing in her violet eyes. A sly smile forms across her face, since she would now finally get the chance to defeat another digimon.
"Well. Time for me to go to work."
With that said, Rika goes running out towards the location of the digimon. She pulls out her D-Ark and picks up the exact location of the digimon that she was going to find.
"Renamon!"
Just then, the yellow-coated fox appears from out of nowhere and is seen hopping onto rooftops while following her partner along the way.
"We got another digimon to take out. You up for a fight?"
"Always. You lead the way."
"I will."
Around the corner, a red-haired teen was walking by carrying a bookcase. He noticed Renamon's movements and it quickly reminded of himself before entering his human body.
"Brings back memories," the teen replied.
"Kurama," a deep voice called out.
Kurama looked up to find a short human with tall, bushy hair and a dark cloak. The mysterious fellow wore a white cloth around his forehead.
"Hiei."
"It looks like Koemna wants us to help Yusuke and the big buffoon."
"I wonder what's going on."
"I'll be heading off. You'll be able to track them down."
"Of course."
With that said, Hiei instantly vanished faster than Renamon could ever hope to achieve. Kurama follows his instincts to begin his search for Urameshi and Kuwabara.

Elsewhere, Terriermon and Guilmon were playing with one another while Takato and Henry were just picking up the location of a bio-emerging digimon through their D-Arks. The boys looked over to each other and to then to their digimon.
"Guilmon. Playtime is over. We got another digimon on the loose."
"Terriermon."
The two digimon stopped their tug of war game and looked over towards their tamers with intensified looks. Guilmon and Terriermon go storming off over towards the scene of the battle. The boys went along and followed their digimon over.
"What kind of a digimon do you think it's going to be, Henry?"
"We won't know until we find out. And we better not waste any time."
"Right!"
************************************************************************************
Back at the scene of the battle, Rika stops at the location while removing her shades since the fog was dispersing. She peered over towards Renamon and then over to her opponent, who was a large, dinosaur-like monster that had blue skin with red stripes, plus a pair of feathers on his head.
"Lets take a look at what my digivice says about this guy. He looks like a decent challenge."
[Allomon. Armored Level. Special Attack: Dino Burst]
"Renamon. This should be a decent warm up. Take him down."
[Drowning Pool "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" plays w/o the lyrics]
"As you wish!"
As soon as she said that, Renamon quickly flies right up at Allomon and delivers a devastating kick to his face. Allomon staggers a bit but then retaliates with a quick swipe of his tail, which sends Renamon flying back into a wall.
"Ugh! C'mon, Renamon! You're not going to let me down! This isn't some stupid game!"
"But he's much too strong, Rika…"
Allomon goes charging right at Renamon and then swipes her away again with his long tail. Renamon goes crashing back right through a nearby wall.
Rika pulls out a card from her back pocket and then swipes it through her digivice.
"Card Slash! Yuki Agumon's Frozen Wind!"
Renamon felt herself getting stronger from the card swipe and then begins to form a ball of ice in her hands. She then cups her hands together and shoots right for Allomon.
"How about a nice cold breeze, toasty?! Frozen Wind!"
"Dino Burst!"
Allomon goes and shoots out a stream of fire over at Renamon's ice beam, with both attacks pushing against one another. Allomon was slowly gaining a stronghold over Renamon with his flame attack. Rika had an agitated look on her face. She was angry over the fact that Renamon was struggling against an armor-type.
"C'mon, Renamon! Stop toying with him! You're much better than he is!"
"But he's stronger than I thought! His heat is overpowering my ice beam."
Allomon takes advantage and then nails Renamon with his tail, which sends the neon-colored fox flying towards a street post. Renamon looked to be down and out, while Rika could only look on with an angry look on her face. She clenches her fists.
"Get up! If you could digivolve, you could win!"
But just then, a red fireball comes shooting out of nowhere and then nails Allomon right in the face, just before he could make his move onto Renamon. And then a Terrier Tornado sends the fire-breathing monster down to the ground.
Rika turned around to see none other than Henry and Takato with an irritated look on her face.
["Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" ends]
"Rika! Are you two alright?" asked Takato.
"We knew it had to be you," said Henry.
"Why don't you two mind your own business! Why don't you go play somewhere else?!"
"Well, you don't have to sound so nasty and are you always making your digimon fight," asked Henry.
"You know. You're starting to sound like a broken record," replied Rika.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Rika then pulls out another card from her back pocket and then swipes it right through her digivice.
"Card Slash! Hyper Chip!"
Renamon goes walking right past both Guilmon and Terriermon without even bother to look over towards them. She now has her focus upon Allomon.
"You two shouldn't be here. Leave this battle with me. So I suggest you two stay out of this."
Renamon goes right over towards Allomon and then proceeds to fight him once again, but this time feeling much powerful than ever before.
"Why don't we finish this?"
"Dino Burst!"
"Ha. Frozen Wind!"
With that said, both attacks collided with one another. But this time around, Renamon's frozen wind was quickly able to overpower Allomon's attack. Allomon watched as his body started to turn into a giant ice cube. Renamon finishes her job and then goes jumping right into the air with her arms crossed. She then stretches them out and unleashes a barrage of diamond spikes over at the frozen monster.
"Diamond Storm!"
The incoming barrage was able to cut right through the ice and stab onto Allomon, which quickly started to kill him and turn his body into fragments of data. Renamon takes the chance and then absorbs the data for herself.
As soon as the fog cleared away, Renamon and Rika stood there ground as they looked over towards the two boys with satisfied looks on their faces.
"Renamon, lets go. We don't have time to talk to these losers."
Rika begins walking away as Renamon quickly phases out. But then Takato goes running up to her and calls her out.
"Hey! We need to talk!"
"Ok, sure. I have something to say. Don't ever get in my way, little boy. Renamon and I work alone."
"So, does that constitute as a conversation?" Takato asked.
Rika continues walking off towards her home, while the two boys could only look on with disappointed looks on their faces.
"Gee. I guess not," Henry replied.
Just then, somebody came walking out from the shadows and looks right down at the three children with a smirk on his face. The creature was dark purple with a cute white face with large green eyes and his sly smile made up his sinister, devious-looking face. He also wore a red bandana. He began to speak.
"Hmph. What a pathetic gathering of fools. No self-respecting digimon would ever be a slave to a human. If they don't cut this crap, it looks like I'll just have to change their minds. Ha, Impmon's brilliant schemes are underway."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, there was a purple-haired young woman pushing along a baby stroller. The baby inside had dark violent strands. The woman cooed at the baby.
"Oh, you're such a cute little girl. Yes, you are."
"Um, Yolei. Don't you think we've been strolling around for too long? My hawks are getting cramped," a hawk-like digimon complained.
"Yeah. I think we should at least rest for a while," Yolei said.
Suddenly, Yolei's cell phone was going off. Hawkmon answered it abruptly.
"Hello? Hawkmon's Hotline Agency speaking."
"Hawkmon? When did you start your own business?" replied Veemon, through the phone.
"Just today."
"Can you put Yolei on the line? Davis needs to tell her something."
"Sure, hold on just one moment. Yolei, you've got a call."
"Who is it?"
"Veemon, but he said Davis has to tell you something."
"Oh boy. Did Davis get bitched at again?"
Yolei takes the phone and answers it.
"Hello?"
"Yolei! What's up? I've just got back from one hell of an experience! There's these Tamers-"
"I know. Kari and Gatomon told me everything. I even heard about that Rika girl. Just what the hell is her deal with digimon? Just data, my ass."
"You're telling me? That girl is too hardcore!"
"You should be talking with a wife almost exactly hardcore."
"I don't know what I'm about to do, but we better keep our guard up. This girl means business. Watch Hawkmon at all times, please."
"Will do. Tell Sonja that I said hi. Buh, bye."
Yolei hung up her phone and turned to find Hawkmon holding up several Duel Monster cards.
"Hey, where did you get those?"
"I picked them up from the ground. These must be those Duel Monster cards."
"You're right. You sure you didn't go pit pocking for them?"
"No, I swear. Wow, this one reads the Red-Eyes Black Dragon."
"Hey! Give me back those cards, you goofy-looking bird!"
Hawkmon flew off as a blonde-haired teen with a green jacket started chasing after him.
"Give me back those cards!"
"Oh, Hawkmon. I'm so ashamed of you," Yolei thought as a sweat drop came down her forehead.
**************************************************************************************
[Ruki's theme "Moon Fighter" plays w/o lyrics]
Rika looks out towards the moonlight and then down at her digivice. She turns around and begins to think to herself.
"Are you trying to make me look bad? Just what was the deal? There's no excuse to struggle against an armored digimon. It makes no sense. You loaded the data off of many digimon and yet, you are unable to digivolve."
She clenches her digivice and then sits right up. Even the beauty of the moonlight wasn't enough to please Rika, since she always had the burning desire to win. All she ever wants to do is succeed and win. She hates being a failure and will do anything to prevent herself from becoming that.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Renamon was sitting on a rooftop while gazing up at the full moon while her metallic, blue eyes glowed along with the moonlight itself. She looks down and begins thinking of Rika.
"Be patient, Rika. I will digivolve. Just you wait and see. I promise I won't ever fail you again. "
Renamon then begins to meditate for a moment while relaxing her body and releasing some of her excessive energy that she felt was not needed for her body.
"It only depends on you when I have to digivolve. After I load the data of one digimon, I feel myself getting stronger, but is that really how I should digivolve?"
Renamon jumps alert and looks over to see a small, dark little digimon with a red banadana around his neck.
"Aww, well. Isn't that sweet? Hey there, tootsie? You got a problem with digivolving? You don't look too happy, but then again, you wouldn't be if you were to answer to some snot-nosed kid and be treated like a digi-poodle. Am I right?"
***************************************************************************************
Rika quickly jumps alert once her digivice went off once again. She picks it up and begins to pick up a reading from a nearby digimon.
"I'm picking up the location of another digimon. Renamon, you better be there."
A hologram image begins to appear from her digivive, which displated Impmon's information.
[Impmon. Rookie Level. Virus Type. Special Attack: Bada-Boom!]
"Impmon? Looks like we got a new player for the game!"
***************************************************************************************
"Look! Who ever you are, Rika is my partner and that doesn't change anything. I'm not a slave."
"Well, it looks like your partner isn't doing much of a good job from my point of view. Take it from me, that human doesn't believe that you can do things on your own free time and that's the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. You digi-pets are all the same. Deep down inside you want to be just like me. But then again, who wouldn't want to be me? I love me."
Renamon sits there not even responding. This only made the devious mini devil to respond with his usual Brooklyn-accent.
"Um hello? Are you deaf or something? Ok let me cut to the chase. You look sad and you know what that makes me, huh? Angry, that's what! And anger is not good for me. Take it from me, there's a whole world out there to explore and you're here in denial. You hear me? You're in denial, lady!"
"Are you done blabbering? Well, then if that's your best advice, you need to come up with a new writer."
With that being said, Renamon jumps right off and lands onto the street gracefully. Impmon looks down upon her and then a fireball forms in his hand.
"Hey! You know that was rude! So, here's just a little reminder of myself! Today's lesson is learning about tough love. Bada-Boom!"
The little demon tosses down a fireball over at Renamon, and she quickly looks over to see it explode right in her face. Renamon shields herself as Impmon looked down at her laughing.
"Hey! Take it from me! You need to quit being stupid and leave that girl immediately! Ha! Ha! Bada-Boom!"
Just then, another beam comes shooting out from the sky, which signaled that of an upcoming digimon from the other side. Renamon quickly responds and goes to head over to the scene of the battle.
"Yeah! Go ahead and run! You know I'm better than you! I'm the King of the World, baby!"
A little girl with a rod around her hand looked up at the chuckling Impmon with a surprised glare.
"What's his deal?"
"He just ripped a line off from a wrestler, Sakura" a tiny yellow mouse-like creature replied.
**************************************************************************************
Rika looks out towards the large fog and heads over towards that destined location. There, she could possibly find the next opponent and hopefully she will meet up with Renamon there.
**************************************************************************************
The Hypnos crew were picking up the location of the bio-emergence and went tot use a tracer to locate. But it was much too late. This thing was now already bio-emerged.
"We've just pin-pointed another bio-emerging location," Riley stated.
"We were unable to trace it. It's beginning to emerge," replied Talley.
"Cursed data scum. I'll rid the city of you vermin."
**************************************************************************************
Rika quickly reaches the destination and finds Renamon facing off against a large, eight-legged spider monster with a yellow helmet over its head. It gazed down upon them with its multiple, green eyes.
"Renamon!"
"Rika!"
"Yummy! How nice of you two to arrive on such short notice. I'm going to have you two as lunch," shrieked the spider.
"Eat dirt," remarked Renamon.
"Ooo. Feisty one!"
[Dokugumon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Poison Thread and Venom Blast]
"Renamon! Step all over her!"
["Rammestein "Du Haust" plays]
Renamon leaps forward and then crosses her arms. She then stretches her arms up and unleashes a barrage of diamonds at the spider monster.
"Diamond Storm!"
But Dokugumon quickly counters with a Poison Thread to block out the barrage, then spits out a Venom Blast to catch Renamon off guard and immobilize her. Renamon goes flying back and eventually gets caught on the web.
"Renamon! Don't give up! You can beat her!"
"Not so fast! Poison Thread!"
Rika finds herself getting spun up into a web as Dokugumon goes charging right for her. Rika looks on with a frightened look on her face and lets out a scream of fear. Renamon quickly breaks free and flies over to protect Rika.
"Diamond Storm!"
The barrage of diamonds eventually nails Dokugumon in the back, while catching her off guard at the same time. Dokugumon turns around and faces off against Renamon. Renamon quickly phases out and reappears next to Rika. She claws right through the web and breaks Rika free.
"Renamon, you saved my life…"
"Think again!" exclaimed Dokugumon.
Renamon goes flying right at Dokugumon to attack her but the spider turns around and shoots out a Venom Blast to send her flying back. Renamon lands on the ground with a thud and quickly was immobilized. Rika runs over towards Renamon and tries to lift her up.
["Du Haust" ends]
"Renamon! No! You protected me."
"Of course… We're partners… I'm not just a fighting tool… I was there to protect you and make sure nothing happens to you."
"Renamon? Please don't leave me."
"I'm sorry… I must go…"
With that said, Renamon loses consciousness and shuts her eyes. Rika looks on with disbelief and cries out for the first time since partnering with Renamon.
"Renamon!"
Calumon comes walking out and the red diamond on his forehead began to glow profusely. Rika looked over at her digivice and it began to glow. Now it was time for Renamon to do what Rika had wished for her to do. Renamon quickly opens her eyes and felt her ki level increasing.
[Digimon Tamers First evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION!
Rika's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Renamon's body. Her body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her new form, which would be her champion-leveled form.
"Renamon shinka!"
Now Renamon was Quadra pedal. Now there was a pair of nine tails were in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpine-like, but retained of her Renamon features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her new name.
"Kyuubimon!"
As soon as the smoke cleared away, Kyuubimon now was standing in the place of Renamon. Rika could only look in awe and shock at her newly evolved digimon. Calumon began walking away with an exhausted look on her face.
"You digivolved, Renamon…"
"Ha! That won't even matter! Time to die, fox face!"
Dokugumon goes flying right down at Kyuubimon but Kyuubimon saw her coming and then unleashes several fireballs at her web.
"Fox Tail Inferno!"
Dokugumon falls down off of her web, since gave Kyuubimon an open opportunity to take advantage of her foe. Kyuubimon spins herself and then transforms into a flaming dragon.
"Dragon Wheel!"
She was then able to swallow right through Dokugumon, which the spider demon was unable to withstand as her body quickly exploded into shrouds of data. Kyuubimon takes advantage and then absorbs the data for herself. As soon as that occurred, the webs and the fog quickly faded away. Rika looked on in amazement but then watches as Kyuubimon jumps right down in front of her.
"Unbelievable! But how did you digivolve?"
"It was all thanks to you. You showed that you really card for me and I did it. You see, it wasn't all about the power and absorbing the data. My evolution only depends on you, Rika."
"Oh, I get it."
From far above, Impmon looks right down at them with a disgusted look on his face.
"Yuck! I better fly before I lose my lunch!"
Impmon quickly phases out with disgust.
"Well that some was victory," said Rika.
"It's not all about winning," replied Renamon.
"But I thought winning was supposed to make you stronger."
"No. You made me stronger. You made me digivolve. You weren't afraid to show how much you really card for me, like a true friend."
Rika looks down at her feet and then looks right up at Kyuubimon with a smile on her face.
"Renamon. Do me a favor. Just don't tell anyone about this."
Is this the Rika we know?! Does Rika really have a soft side?! And just who is Impmon, anyway, and what is his vendetta against the humans?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Guilmon Evolves! Rika's Hesitation?!
The start of nightfall descends upon the now quiet streets of West Shinjuku. Residents have all left home, in order to get their rest. Others decided to take a nice relaxing walk through the park.
There was a couple walking down towards the park with their arms around each other. They were eyeing each other as if they were two little happy, lovebirds. They just couldn't resist the urge to finally show their true love and affection towards each other.
"Osashi?"
"Yes, Reiko? What is it, my love?"
"I love you."
"Oh, I love you too."
The couple both sat down on a nearby bench as they drew closer towards each other. Reika took her boyfriend's hand and then leaned over to kiss him. But just as soon as she was about to plant a kiss, something came popping out of the bushes behind them. It looked like a little flame, but as soon as they leaned over to see who was lighting up the flame, a black, little creature came popping out making silly grunts and faces.
"Boo!"
The couple looked over at Impmon and they both ran away from the scene. Impmon looked over towards them and fell backwards as he let out a laugh that was heard all over the park.
"Ha! Ha! Oh, I love you Reika! I love you too, Osashi! Ha! Ha! Bleh!" mimicked Impmon. "I can't believe these humans with their ol' love and affection. Just makes me want to bring out the barf bag."
Impmon was unaware that a young woman, around her early twenties, was watching him. This young lady had quite a distinctive figure. She has long black hair and is wearing a white blouse with red pants. She could hardly believe that the tiny pyromaniac was disrupting the courtships of romantic couples.
"What a little creep! How could he do such a thing? If only I could transform and burn his little ass! Oh well, he's not a problem for me. Next time, he's mine."
"Hey, Rei!" another voice called out.
The blonde-haired girl with the white cat came walking over to Rei.
"Hey, Mina."
"I just say a couple running out of the park. What just happened?"
"You won't believe it if I tell you."
"Try me."
"Ok, how does this sound? A little pyromaniac is going around scaring couples in this park."
"How terrible! We ought to get to the bottom of this!"
"Aren't we here on vacation?" the white cat asked.
"But this little punk has gone too far," Rei replied. "We're taking action."
"Couldn't we first get some rest?" Mina asked. "I'm getting pretty tired."
"Tomorrow is just another day. We'll catch this little bugger," Rei said.
Elsewhere in the park, Guilmon was digging up something in his bunker home and it looked like he had a crazed look on his face. He was so hungry that he could eat a bus right about not, but what he was really in the mood for was his favorite meal, bread.
Guilmon picks up a small basket full of bread and gazes over the delicious-looking bread. He picks one out and then stuffs it right in his mouth.
"Ahh! Good bread! Takato's parents know how to make some really good bread!"
Just as soon as he was going to stuff another loaf of bread into his mouth, it fell right out of his hands and started to roll away. Guilmon goes chasing right after it.
"No! Come back bread!"
But just as he was going to grab, a red-gloved hand comes out of nowhere and snatches up the bread. Guilmon stops at his place and looks over to see Impmon holding the loaf in his hand. Guilmon had a confused look on his face but then realized that Impmon looked like no threat.
"Hey, who must you be? Are you new around here?"
Impmon quickly stuffs the loaf into his mouth and then swallows it right up while ignoring Guilmon's question at the same time.
"This bread is too dry. Ech. Ahem."
Impmon sticks his hand right through the gate and extends his hand out, as if he were demanding more bread to be handed over to him. Guilmon gazed over and then innocently places another loaf into his hand. Impmon pulls his hand right away and stuffs the second loaf into his mouth.
"Hey, mister. You must really like the bread if you wanted another one."
"Hah. What makes you think so? I think this bread is too bland. Ech. These humans have no taste. Give me some more."
Guilmon hands him another loaf and then begins to speak up once again.
"Um. Could you leave a little more for me, because I'll have to wait for Takato to bring some more bread tomorrow morning."
Impmon sighs heavily and then grabs the loaf. He bites into it and then starts speaking up.
"Don't you realize how stupid you really sound? You so-called digi-pets are all the same. Its always, Takato this! Takato that! Look palsy, you're living in a cage, for cripes sake! Are you really that happy for being locked up like a zoo animal? Well, are you?"
"I am happy and Takato is my friend."
This comment quickly caused Impmon to choke on his bread and fall backwards with a thud. Impmon quickly gets back onto his feet and peers over towards Guilmon with a sneer.
"A friend?! You call him, a friend?! Reality check! Do friends lock up their big, red pals in cages? Get my drift? You make me sick to my stomach with those comments. Ugh. No I'll have to go somewhere and puke my freaking guts out! You better take my advice, pineapple head!"
Just as Impmon was walking away, Guilmon simply just shrugged his shoulders and resumed to consume the last portions of his midnight snack. Not even Impmon's words would even get through with Guilmon.
While Impmon walked off towards a sidewalk, a pair of two glowing eyes was peering through bushes. Unknown to everything around it, the eyes faded and a dark feminine figure came walking out. She smiled a toothy grin and sharpened her claws.
"Tasty data. I must have it."
**************************************************************************************
The next day, since it was still the weekend, Kari decided to kick back and relax on this beautiful Sunday. She laid on her couch after a good morning jog. She looks over to see Gatomon and Patamon playing a game of checkers.
"Well, you two are sure having fun. Maybe we can all go out to the park later on," Kari said, "How does that sound?"
"Sounds like a plan," replied Gatomon.
"I could use a little fresh air. Hopefully, it won't rain," said Patamon.
"By the way, where is TK? I thought I saw him here before I left to go jogging," said Kari.
"He went out to go see Ken and Yolei. They just came here today for a visit," said Gatomon, "I tried to call you but you probably had your headphones on."
"Crap! Now I'll have to take a quick shower and meet up with them, where ever they are."
With that said, Kari goes running into her room and pulls out whatever clean clothes she could find and then rushes into the bathroom as she turned on the showerhead.
"Crap! Crap! I won't even have time to blow dry my hair. Oh my god!"
"Wow. I've never seen Kari like," said Patamon.
"Human women are so weird," said Gatomon, "C'mon, lets go see what there is to eat for lunch in the kitchen."
"Mmhmm."
The two little digimon headed over towards the kitchen, to make themselves some tuna and squid sandwich, certainly not the best choice of a snack for people, but definitely something worth while for digimon as these two.
"Next time, don't put too much Miracle Whip on mine," Patamon said with a whiny tone in his voice.
"Alright. Geez."
Just then, Kari comes running out with a pair of pink shorts, a white halter-top and a pair of tennis shoes. Her hair was still wet and didn't even bother blow-drying it. She threw her dirty clothes in the laundry basket. She then looked around as if she were missing something. She grabs her hiking backpack and rushes over to the two digimon. She picks up Gatomon and places her in the bag. She then does the same to Patamon.
"Now, don't you two go leaving any bread crumbs in my bag, got it?"
"Yeah, yeah. We promise," said Patamon.
"If there's a mess, I'll blame it on Patamon. He. He."
"We're heading out. Hopefully, I can trace them through my D-3."
She looks over at her D-3 and begins to pickup the signal of three other Digi-Destined. She then heads out towards the local flea market area within the middle section of West Shinjuku. It wasn't too far from where the apartments were and she would make it there by foot.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Takato and Henry were meeting up as they were heading out towards the park where they would go visit Guilmon. Henry speaks up to end the silence.
"Takato, have you heard any stories of a certain prankster in the park that has been scaring away local couples away from the park? Sources claim that it could have been some pyromaniac of some sort?"
"You're not thinking that it could be Guilmon, do you?"
"I don't know, but we have to get to the bottom of this. It just doesn't sound right."
"I know. Guilmon wouldn't the type to even pull off such pranks."
"Well, he is a dinosaur after all," remarked Terriermon, "They're certainly not one of the brightest ones of the bunch."
"Terriermon. What did I tell you about making comments of others," Henry scolded.
"Hey. I was just making a statement that happens to be true. I'm sorry if you don't like it but it's my personal opinion. He. He," said Terriermon.
"Well, for once, I hope you're wrong. I don't want to find out that it was Guilmon who was pulling off those pranks."
Takato looks down at his drawing of the evolved form of Guilmon. All he could ever think about at this very moment was his partner, Guilmon.
"Oh, I hope they're wrong. I know you wouldn't do such a thing, Guilmon. I'm going to prove them wrong. You're no menace to society."
Just then, both boys stopped as they saw Kari running towards them as if she were in a hurry. Takato calls out to her, which catches Kari's attention.
"Kari. Whoa, you look like you're in a hurry."
"Well, Takato, to tell you the truth. I am and I need to head on over to meet some one of my old friends. I'll talk to you kids later. I've got to run!"
With that said, Kari runs over in order to catch up with her friends, while leaving the two Tamer boys in a cloud of smoke.
"Well, she certainly was in a hurry. C'mon, lets go check on Guilmon," said Takato.
"Sounds like a plan to me."
"At least she could have done was say hello to me," said Terriermon. "Geez, people these days."

Yamaki wasn't going to going to let another one of these digital life forms take him down so easily. He swore that he would get even and have the last laugh. Lately, the digimon were the ones laughing, which only infuriated Yamaki even more.
Just then, Riley was picking up a report about sensors indicating a digital anomaly about to surface.
"Sir, I'm picking up another strange, digital anomaly through the sensors."
"Ugh. It's maybe another one of those Wild Ones about to bio-emerge. We've just had Wild One emerge last night. Riley, its time to put a tracer on this one."
"Impossible. It won't lock and it's getting away."
"Hmmm. We had two invaders enter our world? Well then. Looks like we'll have to take a more global approach."
Yamaki pulled out lighter and begins flipping open its top as if he were trying to rid himself of the nerves that were bothering him from within.
**************************************************************************************
The Tamer boys made it over towards the bunker as Guilmon went over to greet them. Takato walks over towards his digimon buddy and speaks up.
"Guilmon. I need to ask you a question."
"Sure, ask me anything, Takatomon."
"Were you in your bunker this whole time just like I instructed you to?"
"Uh huh. I didn't even go walking out. Heck, not even Calumon came to play."
"Well that's good to know. We've been hearing stories of this pyromaniac who has been disturbing local couples in the park recently," said Takato.
"Yeah and they say this guy might be some sort of prankster," said Terriermon, "And they claim that the culprit was the size of a small child. Well, Guilmon certainly doesn't look like a kid. A rather big kid, if you ask me."
"Heh, I can just imagine you wearing a backpack, Guilmon," said Takato, "You would look great! Ha."
"I would? But who has been doing those mean things?"
"We don't know for sure. But for our sakes, we just hope that it wasn't you this whole time," said Henry.
"Oh don't you worry, Henry. I promise that I will stay in this bunker. I won't even leave my spot," Guilmon said.
"Right. Don't leave from here, even if Calumon says there's a new playground being built nearby. Don't leave. You promise, boy."
"Yes, I promise, Takatomon."
"Momentai, Takato!"
"Maybe, I'll do just that, Terriermon."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kari stops by and looks over towards a local cafe. She sees none other than TK, Ken and Yolei. She waves over towards them and rushes inside into the cafe.
[Random Furi Kuri music plays in the background for the cafe scene]
"Kari! Well, it's about time you came," said TK.
"Yeah, if you called me a lot earlier," remarked Kari as she took a seat.
"But, you had your cell on silent. Well, never mind that."
"Its so good to see you again, Kari," said Yolei as she gave her old friend a hug.
"Me too," replied Kari while giving Yolei a hug as well.
"It's been a while, Kari. You've grown quite a bit," said Ken as he gives Kari a hug.
"Uh huh. And you two certainly have grown as well."
Kari then looks over towards a baby's seat and sees a little girl staring right over towards her.
"Aww! That must be Naomi that you two have been telling me about," said Kari as she walked over towards the baby. "How long have you two had her?"
"About a year and a half already, but she doesn't seem to want to grow up," said Yolei, "Isn't she just gorgeous?"
"She is! Hi there, Naomi. Hi there," Kari said while talking motherly to Naomi.
TK picks up Kari's backpack and then sees none other than Gatomon and Patamon in there looking right up at him.
"You two just remain quiet. I don't think this cafe allows any animals in there, so just pretend to be stuffed toys," whispered TK.
"Alright," they both said while putting on their little 'stuffed animal' act.
"So, where's Hawkmon and Wormmon?" asked Kari.
Ken then points down at his backpack while placing his finger on his lips as if he were telling her that they were safely inside of his backpack. Kari nods and then takes her seat.
"So, tell us everything that has been going on with you, Kari," said Yolei.
"Well. I'm a part-time substitute teacher over at West Shinjuku elementary. And you won't believe at what I'm about to tell ya'll."
Kari goes on and explains everything that has occurred these past few weeks, including the whole Tamer thing.
"I see. Yeah. You've been telling me about these Tamers. Davis just called me. He also told me about them," asked Yolei.
"Yeah and they use these special digivices and slide cards right through them. They call them Card Slash and they are able to give their digimon a much needed energy boost in order to defeat their enemy. The boy, Takato, has a digimon that he created named Guilmon. And you should certainly see how he has improved over these past weeks. Its amazing."
"I'll bet, but why weren't we told of this whole digimon card game? I never knew that they could come up with the idea," said Ken, "Its like as if it happened so suddenly."
"Right and we're going to try to get to the bottom of it. Kari has a card to give you a good example of the cards that these new kids have been using."
Kari pulls out the Gatomon card and then hands it over to Ken. He closely examines it and hands it over to Yolei.
"Whoa and how do they know about Gatomon? Do they even have a Hawkmon card?"
"Uh huh. Just about every single of our digimon has a card of their own," said Kari.
"Wow. Incredible. We certainly need to study this a little further. Maybe Izzy and I can help you guys out on your case," said Ken, "I need a good start on my detective career anyway. That sounds fine?"
"Sure. We can start tomorrow," said TK.
"Great! Looks like we're room buddies, Kari," squealed Yolei, "Even if it is for a month."
"That's for sure. But I wonder how Takato and Guilmon are doing now. With those recent pyromaniac reports, I'm getting a little worried for poor Guilmon."
**************************************************************************************
Back at the park, Guilmon was beginning to bury the last remaining portions of his bread, in order to eat later. But then, he hears someone whistling over to him. Guilmon turns around and sees none other than Impmon at the gateway entrance waiting.
"Hey, have you come for some more bread? Sorry, but I buried the last of it," said Guilmon.
"What, so you're hoping for it to grow?"
"Hmmm, I never thought of it that way."
Impmon quickly turns around and then stomps around as if he were getting mad at Guilmon's simple comment.
"I was making fun of you, pineapple head! So you don't get it. How are you going to learn if you're locked up in that stupid cage? Come with me and I'll show you a little fun. Well, what do you say? Unless you're not afraid of the dark."
"I'm not afraid."
"You're a chicken."
"No, I don't even like chicken. Takato said that I should stay in this cage and I will do as he says."
"Look, if he told you to set you're foot on fire, would do it? So, why should you listen to him this time around?"
Impmon walks away and then heads out back over to the park.
"Ugh. You're no fun. I'm outta here."
"But I am fun!"
Guilmon quickly breaks open the gate door and goes running up towards Impmon, in order to catch up to him. Impmon turns around as he goes sneeking into the bushes, with Guilmon following right behind him.
They hide to make sure that they aren't spotted from any local civilian, who could easily report them.
"So, what are we exactly doing?"
"Just watch and learn, pineapple head."
Just then, Impmon looks over to see a teenage couple about to make love on a nearby bench. But as soon as they were going to lean over for the climatic kiss, Impmon tosses up a fireball and jumps out of the bushes laughing. The couple go running off and screaming in horror. Guilmon doesn't seem too impressed and looks towards the other way.
"This is too boring. I'm heading back to the bunker."
"Hey, where are you going?! We were having fun! Ugh, who needs you anyway!"
Impmon looks up towards a tall statue. He looked to be staring down right at him. Impmon gets infuriated and tosses a fireball right in the forehead of the statue figure.
"What's with these punks and their staring problems?!"
Suddenly, Rei and Mina came popping out from the bushes with a video camera.
"We've got the little punk on camera!" Rei said.
"All we have to do is tape ourselves kicking this jerk's ass," Mina stated.
"Don't you think we're going a little too far with this ordeal?" Artemis asked.
"He's the one who started it and we're finishing it. We don't even have to transform to teach him a thing or two," Mina replied.
"Maybe you ought to transform," a raspy voice said.
"Did you say something, Rei?"
"Wasn't me?"
"Look behind you," the voice hissed.
The Sailor pair turned around and faced a dark feminine digimon. She was wearing a black leather get-up, a pair of clawed hands, and her skin was pale as snow. Her eyes glowed crimson red and a pair of fangs were exposed.
"Hello, girlies! You mind telling me where I can find some delicious data?" the dark lady asked.
"Hey, Mina. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I hear you. This lady has no fashion taste."
"I have no fashion taste. Then, why don't I show you some good fashion taste?!"
The dark lady prepared her attack, but quickly turned to face another direction. She felt the presence of digital life forms. She licked her lips and flew off. She felt the two Sailors behind with confused looks.
"Um, what just happened?" Mina asked. "We didn't even get to transform."
"I guess she chickened out. Who cares? We've got a pyromaniac to catch."
"That's right. Let's go."
The dark lady turned towards another direction. She was feeling the presence of more than just one digimon in the park.
"I feel the presence of several digital life forms. I should get started and feed off of some data. I need my well balanced dinner."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Takato walks on over back to Guilmon's home with a bag of bread around his shoulder. As soon as he leans forward to look right through the cage, he gasps and drops the bag.
"Guilmon! No! You promised me! You said you would stay in here!"
Just then, Guilmon walks up the steps to see none other than Takato talking to himself in grief. He speaks up.
"Hey, who are you talking to, Takatomon?"
"Where have you been Guilmon?! I thought I told you to stay in your bunker!"
"Oh Takato! You should have been there! It was so fun! There were people screaming and running away. But then, it got boring and decided to come back home…"
"It was you… It was you this whole time…"
Takato stomps his foot on the ground and then riffles his hair angrily as he started to scold at Guilmon to take out his frustrations.
"Guilmon! Argh! I've had it! I can't take it anymore! I've had it with you!"
Takato goes running off with sheer anger and sadness in his eyes. Guilmon could only look on with an expression of hurt and guilt on his face. Takato goes running off as fast as he could just to get back home as soon as possible.
**************************************************************************************
Davis and Veemon were walking through Shinjuku Park, after another heated argument with Sonja. Davis knew that his wife loves him, but he shouldn't be yelled at for every little mistake he makes.
"I'm just so full of mistakes. Why doesn't she understand that?"
"No offense, but she sees you as some sort of ass clown."
"None taken, Veemon. I should be more sincere. Besides, TK and Kari seem to get along just fine. I know they've had their downfalls, but they've managed to patch up those differences. I just hope things will work out between my wife and I."
"I wouldn't worry about her too much, Davis. She maybe too stubborn and proud to admit her love, she still has feelings for you, man."
"Thanks for giving me this advice. Since when did you ever become a walking advice machine?"
"Since now?"
"Nice try, buddy."
Suddenly, Veemon felt an uncomfortable vibe across his skin. He looks around with an angry look.
"What's the matter, Veemon?"
"Davis, we have company."
"Where?"
"Up here, little boys."
They looked up to find the same dark lady, who encountered the Sailors momentarily. She levitates down and faces off with the duo.
"Having a bit of woman problems, aren't we?" the dark lady asked.
"Veemon. Who is this crazy bitch?"
"Ladydevimon!"
[Ladydevimon. Ultimate-level. Virus Type. Special Techniques: Darkness Wave & Evil Wing]
"She's an ultimate level? We've just had a run-in with that Vilemon pair a couple of days ago!" Davis replied. "Alright! This is our chance. That girl isn't here, so let's give it our all!"
["Break Up!" plays]
Davis' D-3 powered up and shoot out a beam of light. The light showered over Veemon as he was ready to digivolve into his champion-level form.
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
Xveemon faced off against Ladydevimon. The dark woman licked her lips aggressively.
"You digivolved? Interesting. I wasn't aware that humans were capable of helping digimon to digivolve. It doesn't matter anyway. You're data will be mine."
"Chew on this, bitch!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"Xveemon! You're going to lay the smack down on her! Don't let her take you're data!"
"Sorry, Ladydevimon. But I'm not on the menu. Care to try another cuisine meal?"
"You fool. I've already won this battle. I've been uploading data recently and my power has gotten stronger. You're just a mere champion. I'll end this in a heartbeat."
Xveemon charges in as he goes to attack Ladydevimon head on. She easily flew up and taunted the blue dragon. Xveemon turns and puts his arms across his chest.
"What's this?"
"V-Laser!"
Xveemon shoots out a V-shaped beam, which nearly made contact with Ladydevimon. Ladydevimon u-turns and flies down behind the champion. Xveemon turns and faces her.
"You're not such a bad shot, but you're only delaying the inevitable."
"I'm just so full of surprises!" Xveemon exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Rei and Mina were watching the battle up close from behind a bush.
"Think we should help him?" Mina asked.
"Nah, I'm sure he has this in the bag. But I was anxiously on kicking some butt again. Ah, I miss the old days," Rei muttered.
"Aren't we supposed to be finding that pyromaniac?" Artemis asked.
"No way. Let's see who makes the next move," Mina stated. "This ought to be fun to watch."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the park, Impmon goes walking along while kicking a soda can along the way. He shrugs his shoulders and then continues his walk.
"Ugh, humans are starting to bore me. They're so predictable. Huh?"
Suddenly, there was a large fog cloud and Impmon noticed that there was a bio-emerging digimon inside. It was a rather, large monster. It was completely black with a pair of wings and a dragon-like snout. His eyes opened up with a red flare coming out of them. It was none other than Devidramon.
"Well, you don't look so tough," said Impmon.
Impmon climbs up a platform so that he could get a better view of the large, beast. He puts a finger right through the fog barrier while cutting through to make a hole at the same time.
"Ha. I'm willing to bet that you're here to look for a partner too!"
But just as soon as Impmon was going to make another comment, Devidramon goes emerging from the cloud barrier while Impmon makes an innocent look on his face.
"Hey, hey. Look I didn't mean it, palsy. It was all just a joke."
However, Devidramon didn't take that too kindly as he quickly knocks Impmon away by merely flapping his wings. Impmon goes crashing down onto the ground face first in a bed of flowers.
"Ugh. This just isn't my day…"
Devidramon goes flying up right into the skies above and then swarms all around the central section of West Shinjuku.
***************************************************************************************
Just then, Kari was picking up a reading on her D-3 and realized that it could only mean one thing. Another digimon has already emerged from the Digital World, somehow.
"You guys. Looks like we got trouble," said Kari.
"What? Hey, I'm getting a reading on my D-3 as well," said Ken.
Soon, Yolei and TK found that their D-3s were picking up the location of two digimon. Suddenly, they looked over to see people screaming and running away at what they saw was a digimon.
"Damn! I really thought that Azulongmon closed all of the gates," said TK.
"I thought so too, but looks like we got our work cut out for us," said Ken, "Its time to get back into the action! Wormmon!"
"Hawkmon!"
The two rookies came hopping out of the backpack with their game-faces on.
"Patamon!'
"Gatomon!"
The other two rookies popped out as well. They were now ready for a fight, something to which they haven't done for so long, but now they would get the chance to work together just like those many years ago.
"Lets go and follow that digimon," said Kari. "We'll split up! TK! You take the one in the park. Yolei, Ken and I will find this moving target."
They all nodded as they headed off to follow the exact location of the Devidramon. TK and Patamon went off to find Ladydevimon's location. They would then find it and stop it at all costs, before it could cause any harm to the people of West Shinjuku.
"Patamon! I'm getting a reading from within the park. It looks like Davis is there and he may need our help."
"Shouldn't we just evolve into War Angemon and get the job done, faster?"
"No, because it will require us a lot of energy to pull off our fusion evolution. Besides, our power would most likely destroy the park. We can't risk it. Besides, I have a feeling this invader isn't all that powerful to being with."
"Whatever you want. Let's move!"
**************************************************************************************
Devidramon flew across and sent a huge breeze along the way. Takato stopped as he looked up to see Devidramon flying overhead and then heads out to follow the gigantic dragon beast.
"Whoa! Time to get a reading on this guy!"
Just then, a hologram image of Devidramon appears and there was information on him.
[Devidramon. Champion Level. Special Attack: Crimson Claw]
"Oh no! He's going to attack the city if he keeps this up! I got to go find Guilmon..."
But just then, he had just remembered that he had scolded at Guilmon just a moment ago.
"But what if he refuses? I was too hard on him. But how am I able to stop Devidramon at the same time?"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Rika was shuffling through her digimon cards until she felt the presence of Renamon appearing in her room.
"Rika. I sense the presence of a digimon. Shall we be heading out?"
Rika soon answered her question by putting on her belt buckle and placing her cards in her back pocket. She then headed out with Renamon following at her side.
***************************************************************************************
Devidramon landed right on top of the Hypnos towers and looked right down at the city of West Shinjuku while searching for somebody to battle.
"Who down there is worthy of facing me in a battle?"
And just as soon as he said that, he felt a ki presence and looked down to see none other then Guilmon walking on the a bridge. Devidramon let out a scream and then goes flying right down towards Guilmon as if he were an eagle swooping down to catch his prey.
Yamaki could only look on to see Devidramon flying right down from the top of Hypnos. He held his lighter tight and growled under his breath.
"Ugh! That's it! This is going far enough! This has become nothing more than a personal embarrassment!"
As soon as Takato came across Devidramon, he saw none other than Guilmon looking right up at Devidramon with an intensified look on his face.
"Guilmon! Look out!"
But just as Guilmon was about to make his first attack, something comes shooting out of the bushes. It looked like two pairs of beams and they nailed Devidramon right at the side, but it only held him at bay for a moment. Takato turned to see none other than Halsemon.
"Huh? Another digimon to Guilmon?!"
"No! We're here to help you," a voice cried out.
Takato turned around to see none other than Kari, Yolei and Ken behind him. A smile came across his face and then he turns his attention back over at the battle.
"How dare you interfere, insolent pest," screeched Devidramon, "Now you shall suffer my wrath!"
"I don't think so! Spiking Strike!" a voice called out.
Devidramon felt a sharp pain and was sent crashing down. The attacker was none other than Stingmon. Takato gasps in shock at what he was seeing. The two digimon came out of nowhere to come to Guilmon's aid. Takato runs over towards Guilmon and the dinosaur looked right over to him.
"Guilmon…"
"Takatomon? You came?"
"Of course, we're buddies right?"
"But I thought you hated me. You got so mad at me and told me that you had it…"
"I thought you were the one who was causing all of that trou-"
But soon, he was interrupted as Devidramon was flying right at them once again. Guilmon pushes Takato to the side and then opens his mouth to unleash a powerful, fiery blast at the large dragon.
"Pyro Sphere!"
The fireball nailed Devidramon right in the head but was ineffective against him. Stingmon and Halsemon come up and start their onslaught.
[Digimon 02 Armor Evolution theme "Target Akai Shougeki!" plays]
"Tempest Wing!"
"Moon Shooter!"
But just as soon as those attacks nailed Devidramon, they merely just exploded like they were nothing. This caught the two digimon by surprise.
"That's not good! Even our two digimon can't take him down," said Yolei.
"Hmm. for some reason, this Devidramon is much different from any normal ones in the Digital World. Usually, our armor and champion level digimon would take down a single Devidramon with several shots like that, but this one, nothing," replied Ken.
"Takato! You have to get out of there," Kari shouted, "You'll get killed!"
"Crimson Claw!"
The attack from Devidramon was able to take both Halsemon and Stingmon down with ease, which allowed Guilmon enough time to shoot out another fireball. But Devidramon was able to see it coming and nailed him with a single swipe of his tail.
"No! Guilmon!" exclaimed Takato.
Just then, Rika and Renamon arrived at the scene of the battle. Rika then looked over at Devidramon.
"Alright, time to take this guy…"
"Wait, Rika…"
"Huh, why should we? We can take him."
"This is Guilmon's battle. Its best that we not interfere."
"Ok, then who are those other two digimon? They're here to attack Guilmon too? I better take a reading on them."
"Hey, isn't that the Rika girl you and Davis have been telling me about?" asked Yolei.
"Yeah and she's practically a fighting genius in digimon battle. Just watch," said Kari.
"Hmph, if only I got my hands dirty. I really wanted to help Guilmon," said Gatomon.
"Sorry, but Wormmon and Hawkmon insisted and wanted you two to converse your powers for now. Plus, they really wanted a digimon battle to come along they're way someday and this was their chance to get back into battle," said Ken.
"Damn it! I wonder how Pata and TK are taking care of the other one?"
**************************************************************************************
"Darkness Wave!"
Ladydevimon blasted Xveemon with a horde of bats. The force of the blast sent Xveemon crashing back. Davis could only look on as he cupped his hands together.
"C'mon, Xveemon!"
"Well dear, I think it's time for me to feed," she replied.
"No, get up! Get up!"
"Davis…"
Just as Ladydevimon was about to strike Xveemon with the final blow, a holy beam came blasting her across the chest. This was strong enough to send Ladydevimon crashing backwards. Xveemon flips up onto his feet and regains his composure.
"Hey, TK! Angemon!"
Angemon hovered down as he and Xveemon were prepared to do battle against Ladydevimon.
"You alright, Davis?"
"Peachy. Where are Kari and the others?"
"They've over with Takato. Some other digimon just emerged and they're trying to stop it."
"Man. This is just wacked! Digimon are popping up everywhere!"
"We should be able to take care of Ladydevimon," Angemon stated. "Xveemon, you ready?"
"Ready and steady."
"Does your wife know that you're out late again?" TK chuckled.
"Very funny, TJ. I'm going to start getting you're name wrong just to annoy you."
"It didn't bother me before and it won't bother me today. Angemon! Trash this witch!"
"Go, Xveemon!"
Angemon and Xveemon made their move against the dazed Ladydevimon. She turned and was nailed by Xveemon's rapid kicks and punches. Angemon follows it up with by smashing his rod across her chest.
"Oh, this one's going to get ugly!" Mina muttered.
**************************************************************************************
Rika arrived at the battle site where Devidramon was located. She noticed several new digimon. She wasn't aware that a Stingmon and a Halsemon were in the city. She pulls out her D-Ark to get a reading off of them.
"OK. No reading yet. Uhhh, this piece of junk! Ok, here we go."
A hologram image of Halsemon appears on Rika's D-Ark.
[Halsemon. Armored type. Special Attacks: Tempest Wing and Eagle Eye]
Then, another hologram image appears but this being one of Stingmon, which also included his information.
[Stingmon. Champion level. Special Attacks: Spiking Strike and Moon Shooter]
"Renamon. Make sure that they don't interfere. So at least we can have a part of the action too."
"Yes, Rika."
Just as Halsemon was about to get to his feet, he looks up to see none other than Renamon right in front of him. Stingmon rises to his feet and gets into a fighting stance.
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked Stingmon.
"I ask you not to interfere, or else you'll get hurt. This is Guilmon's fight."
Halsemon and Stingmon both looked over at each other with confused looks on their faces. Then they turned towards Renamon. The three turned to watch the battle ensue.
Henry and Terriermon soon arrive after picking up an energy signal from the D-Ark. They stopped once they saw Guilmon facing off against Devidramon.
"Looks like we're in the line of fire here," said Henry.
"No, you think?! We are in the line of fire," remarked Terriermon.
"Pyro Sphere!"
The little, red dinosaur shoots out a powerful, fireball that Devidramon was able to see coming and uses his claws to smack it away with tremendous ease.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Alright! Guilmon! Lets try this! Card Clash! Power card!"
Guilmon powers up and then unleashes another Pyro Sphere, but about two times stronger than the previous blast. However, it still wasn't strong enough to affect Devidramon. Takato pulls out another card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Hyper Wing!"
Guilmon quickly flies up as two pairs of wings appear on his back, but Devidramon is able to swipe him away with his hand. Guilmon goes flying down onto the ground. Takato then slashes yet another card.
"Card Slash! Speed card!"
But Devidramon was still able to knock Guilmon around like a rag doll and take advantage of the battle. The tide was turning against Guilmon at the very moment.
"Ugh. Speed is useless here. Why doesn't goggle head just realize that," growled Rika, "Does he having any idea on what he is doing?! He's his own worst enemy if he keeps this up!"
"Well, he is a basket case," replied Henry.
Terriermon jumps down from Henry's shoulder and notices something moving in the background. He went out to investigate for himself.
"Had enough, weakling?" Devidramon taunted Guilmon.
"No! Get off of him! Guilmon, you have to break free! You can't give up," exclaimed Takato.
Impmon was standing on a light post while watching the scene of the battle. Impmon was jumping around and cheering for the demise of Guilmon. Terriermon pokes his head from out of the bushes and looks right up at Impmon with a smirk on his face.
"Ha. I knew it wasn't Guilmon all along. Looks like we got ourselves a culprit. Besides, Guilmon isn't clever enough to pull off such a stunt."
Terriermon quickly hides back in the bushes and finds his way through to escape and report back to his Tamer as soon as possible. Impmon turned around and looked over with bushes with a confused look on his face.
"Call me crazy, but I thought I just say a talking dog with bunny ears. Ah well, no worry. I'm really going to enjoy seeing pineapple head getting his butt kicked."
Takato watches as Devidramon was looming over the defenseless Guilmon while holding him down onto the ground. Takato was shuffling right through his cards and quickly ran out of his best ones. He then fumbles and drops all of his cards on the floor. Rika and Henry go rushing up towards him. Kari comes running up to Takato.
"Hey yo, Takato!" Terriermon called out, "You want to know the truth? Well, I just found out that Guilmon wasn't the one. Nope. It was that little puppy-kicker, Impmon. He set Guilmon up."
"So, he didn't do it after all?"
"Hope, he's innocent."
"Takato? Show how much you care for him," said Kari, "Friends must make up their differences. Now go over and tell Guilmon that you're not mad anymore."
"I will."
"They're right. I was wrong about Guilmon. I never should have yelled at him like that. Well, its time to live up to being a good digimon tamer! Guilmon, I just hope your forgive me."
While Devidramon pinned Guilmon down to the ground with his claws, Takato rushes over and demands Guilmon to rise to the occasion and fight out of the predicament.
"You have to use everything within the fiber of your body! Push free!"
"But I can't hold out much longer!'
"You have to! You must!"
Just then, Calumon arrives and discovers the altercation.
"Please, Guilmon! I don't want to lose you! I can't lose! You're my best friend ever! Don't die, please," Takato cried out.
"So, you're not mad at me, Takatomon?"
"Aw, I can't stay mad at you and it's my fault for not trusting you."
But just as Devidramon was pushing down on Guilmon and slowly starts to crush the defenseless digimon, Takato cried out his digimon's name for the last time.
"GUILMON!"
Suddenly, Takato's D-Ark started to unleash a powerful red beam of light and it was sent straight to Guilmon. The light blinded Devidramon. Guilmon could feel his ki level increasing.
[Digimon Tamers first Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Digivolve Guilmon!"
EVOLUTION!
With that said, Guilmon felt his body starting to change and his energy level increasing. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.
"Guilmon shinka!"
Now Guilmon was larger with a much more broad and heavy body. He has a patch of white hair on his head. However, he looked much too similar to his rookie form, but has a higher power level as far as he was concerned. He stands while blowing fire from out of his nose. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Growlmon!"
As soon as the smoke cleared away, Growlmon now was standing in the place of Guilmon. The others could only look on with awe looks on their faces. Takato was just as surprised as everyone else was.
"Guilmon?"
Growlmon lets out a roar, which makes Calumon flying away while holding his ears. Growling then turns to face Devidramon.
**************************************************************************************
Ladydevimon wasn't faring well against the duo. Angemon had damaged her body with his holy energy and Xveemon's physical attacks had done her in.
"You ready to surrender?" Xveemon said.
"Never. I'll never lose to a group of weaklings! How can you be used by these humans to gain power?"
"The humans not only give us power, but we share a common bond. With this common bond, we are inseparable. You don't understand the meaning of friendship. You have a lot to learn," Angemon stated.
"Never! You won't see me with a human as a partner! I work alone! But, you just gave me an idea. Since I can't defeat you, I'll make my new targets those two humans!"
"No! Davis! TK!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"Goodnight, pretty boys!"
Suddenly, Ladydevimon turned around as an energy blast came blasting through her chest. The demon lady screeched in agony as her body broke apart into data. TK and Davis were shocked by the turn of events.
"What just happened?" TK asked.
"I happened," a voice called from above.
Davis looked up and smiled. The blast came from his wife, Sonja. The former artificial levitated down to watch Ladydevimon's data fade away.
"How did you know we were here?" Xveemon asked.
"I don't know to have. I sensed Xveemon's ki. It's not a big deal. So you two were out late again, weren't you?"
"Oh, busted again!" Davis muttered.
"Just be glad that I was able to bail you out of there," she replied. "Besides, I'll let this one slide. She didn't have any fashion taste."
"How so true!" TK stated. "Now it's up to Takato and the others to stop the other one."
"Shouldn't we go and lend them a land?" Davis asked.
"No. I think you've had enough fun for tonight, Davis," Sonja stated abruptly.
"Aw, crap. I never to have anymore fun."
Mina and Rei were stunned by the battle. They had just witnessed their first in close digimon battle.
"Wow? And here we thought our enemies were tough?" Mina said.
"No kidding. Though, we should have gone the pyromaniac."
"I think we lost him, Rei."
"Damn. We didn't get him this time. I say we drop it. I think that little creep would have pissed in his pants and ran off if these battles had taken place. Man, let's get the heck out of here. I've seen enough action for one day."
"I'm with you."
***************************************************************************************
"Whoa, that's what I call a growth spurt," said Yolei, "But will he even beat this Devidramon? I mean Stingmon was in champion form and he got his butt handed to him."
"We'll just have to see and find out for ourselves," replied Ken. "After all, this digimon is much different from our own was well."
"The bond between the tamers and the digimon are just as strong as our relationship with our digimon, but perhaps a little bit more stronger. This is just unbelievable,"Kari thought.
Growlmon goes charging right at Devidramon and fires a large fireball from out of his mouth, which goes flying right towards Devidramon.
"Pyro Blaster!"
But even the super fast fireball was unable to nail Devidramon as he quickly phased to the side. The fireball crashes right into the Hypnos building, which catches everybody inside off guard.
"I can't believe that this is happening!" exclaimed Riley.
"That's because it isn't," replied Yamaki, "The public will know nothing of this debacle and I'm placing you in charge of creating a convincing cover story."
"Um, you're kidding me, right?" asked Riley.
Back on the battlegrounds, Growlmon climbs on the top of the building. Devidramon quickly appears out of nowhere and grabs him.
"Are you back for some more?" asked Devidramon.
Growlmon fights back as he executes his 'Dragon Slash' on Devidramon to evade him at the moment. He then grapples with Devidramon. But Devidramon jumps right behind Growlmon and picks him up. He then lifts Growlmon high into the air. Once high enough, he drops Growlmon straight down onto the ground below through the overpass.
"Playtime is over," exclaimed Devidramon.
"Growlmon! Get up!"
Growlmon quickly rises to his feet and looks up to see Devidramon flying right down at him with his claws ready to slash Growlmon. Growlmon quickly powers up and then opens his mouth. He shoots out a huge fireball that quickly squeezed out to transform itself into a beam.
"Pyro Blaster!"
As soon as that occurred, the fire beam goes shooting right through Devidramon as he felt his body quickly melting away and eventually exploding into a load of data. Devidramon's screams echoes right through the city.
"You did it!" exclaimed Takato.
Growlmon then starts to absorb the data from the now-deleted Devidramon and felt his power increasing. Growlmon lets out one last blood curling cry as his body quickly started to shrink.
"Guilmon! You did a great job," Takato said as he rushes over to hug him. "I really want to say that I'm sorry for everything that I said to you."
"Takatomon. We'll be friends forever, right?"
"Of course. And thanks to your advice, Kari. Thank you."
"Well. Its a little experience I learned during my first days as a Digi-Destined. I was sort of in a same situation as you were long ago, but I eventually learned that I would always stick together with my digimon, no matter how bad a situation gets or how bad our relationship may end up."
"Yeah. Guilmon, I promise never to get mad at you for something that you have never done. I should have never doubted you."
"Aww, Takatomon. We're friends. Don't sweat."
The others watched on with smiles on their faces. They were happy to see Takato reconciling his differences with Guilmon, with the exception of Rika. She already left with Renamon.
"That's so sweet," said Yolei, "But what the hell is that girl's deal? She didn't even seem to care for what just happened."
"Well, she might also have to learn a thing or two about the relationship of a digimon and human. She obviously is no team player if she has no feelings for her fellow peers. Kind of reminds me of myself when I was the Kaiser."
"But you eventually changed for the better. I just hope the same happens for that girl."
"Guilmon. We'll never fight with each other again. I promise to be the best Tamer and I will live up to that promise."
***************************************************************************************
Unknown to everyone around him, a tall figure with bat-like wings, red eyes, and a muscular body was watching the events unfold. The most distinct feature of this beast was the 'D' ensigna on his forehead. He was now ready to send a telepathic message to an unknown source.
"Master. Everyone of the digimon who have bio-emerged into the human world was done in. There's a group of humans, who have dared to oppose us. What should we do now, master?"
"Its time for our next operation. We will send a group of powerful warriors capable of handling these pests. We have to gather as much energy as we can to unleash Armageddon on the multiple worlds!"
"Yes, sire. I shall return back and inform the news to our reinforcements."
With that said, the dark figure fazed out through a small digital field. This eventually will send him back to the other side. From there, he would meet with his master and get started on the next plan of action. This certainly wasn't good news as far as earth was concerned.
**************************************************************************************
The Next morning…
The Hypnos crew was hard at work at tracing a recent digital life form trying to bio-emerge. And this one was said to be the biggest ever thus far.
Riley looks over at the tracked 'Wild One'. She couldn't believe how big it was.
"Sir, I'm picking up a Wild One. This one seems to be the biggest one thus far."
"Its trying to bio-emerge and I have no idea of what its bringing along, but all I know that its bigger than the life form itself."
"Unbelievable!" replied Riley, "Um, sir. The Wild One has succeeded in entering our realm."
This certainly meant that they were unable to trace and take out the Wild One.
***************************************************************************************
The busy streets of West Shinjuku have been as heavy as ever during the time of noon. Everybody has been either rushing over to their jobs or were leaving from their occupations to call it a day. But others were just bored and decided to take a walk.
Well, there was one girl who certainly would take a walk just to prevent boredom. And that would be Rika Nonaka. She is the Digimon Queen.
Rika walks across the street with her headphones on to full blast. She was listening to one of her favorite CDs and decided to walk to get a lot of crap off of her mind, especially ones involving Takato and Henry.
She is still upset over the fact that Renamon has been unable to get and stronger when she digivolves. She soon realized that both Terriermon and Guilmon's ki levels managed to increase to new heights, but Renamon's remained the same despite the evolution into Kyuubimon.
"I just don't understand it. Why is Renamon not able to get anymore stronger? Is it just me or am I not even trying hard enough? Maybe I should be sterner with Renamon. I mean, look at those two boys, especially that goggle head. It all started with Guilmon, just a couple of days ago. Then it happened with that floppy-eared bunny, Terriermon. Then Renamon… We all went through the same common predicament. We all nearly get killed and then our digimon respond by digivolving to protect us. But Renamon's power still remains the same. I just know it is. Do I possibly know any other way to help her become stronger?"
Just then a dark and shadowy figure was creeping up from behind and Rika and quickly sent a chill down her spine. She turned around and saw what was coming near her and to her surprise, there was nobody. She quickly sighed a relief and then turns around to see none other than Calumon looking up right at her with a smile.
"Hi!" Calumon managed to say.
Rika simply rolls her eyes and walks away, simply ignoring Calumon along the way. Calumon followed Rika along while the girl was trying to find a way to ditch the little digimon.
"I don't have any food, so why are you following me?"
"Want to play?"
Calumon smiles and then jumps right into Rika's arms. Rika tried so hard to push Calumon off but the little guy had quite a tight grip on her and couldn't let go of her. Just then, the crowd starts crowding her as a young, blonde woman comes running up to Rika. Rika turned to face none other than her own mother.
"Rika! Oh there you are! I was looking all over for you."
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh I had a photo shoot but before we could start, all of these people started showing up, wanting my autograph and to the secret of my youthful, good looks. I swear they wouldn't even leave me alone and they couldn't get anything done, being famous is such a pain in the neck."
Rika listened to her mother ramble and decided to hightail it out of there as soon as possible, in order to get rid of Calumon.
"Well, I have to go now, mother."
"Oh, before you go. I must say that toy you got there is very cute."
"You have got to be kidding me, right?!"
Rika looks down at Calumon, as the little digimon smiled.
***************************************************************************************
"Badda-Boom!" exclaimed a voice.
A flock of crows were flying away as Impmon stood at the entrance of a shrine with a smirk on his face.
"C'mon! Fight back ya cowards! Ah, I guess my firepower was a little too much for you to handle anyways. I guess I'll just have to wreck havoc elsewhere."
Deep within the shrine, Rika was sitting on the porch as she placed Calumon down on the ground. A frown formed across her face as he gave Calumon a very cold look.
"Look. I'm immune to your little cutesy act, so why don't you scram!"
Calumon is heavily taken by this and ran away while crying. Rika watches on and sits up with a smirk on her face.
"That's it! Keep running shorty!"
Just then, a mysterious cloud appears around Rika and it gave her the chills just like earlier today. She turns around and sees nothing.
"Renamon!"
Rika stands there looking over at what may have sent her chills and made her cold all of a sudden. But just as soon as she was going to investigate, Renamon appears on top of a tree.
"Rika? You called for me?"
"Where have you been?!"
"Watching you from over there."
"Oh."
"There's something troubling you, Rika. Is there something you need to talk about?"
"No, nothing at all Renamon. I just need to clear my head a bit."
Rika goes walking towards her home and over towards her room, but then she once again feels a cold chill from behind her once again. She managed to blow out icy breath and quickly rushes inside of her room.
Just as Renamon was about to follow after Rika, she suddenly heard footsteps from behind her. As soon as she turned around, she saw Impmon gazing at her.
"Well, well. We meet again, fox-face."
"Oh its just you."
"Huh?! What do you mean just me?! I guess a good fight will knock you off of your perch! By the way, I heard Terriermon called you a fat-tailed bully. So if I were you, I'd teach that egg-shaped loudmouth a lesson."
Renamon simply chuckles which started to further irritate Impmon even further.
"What?! Your just going to let him get away with that?!"
"Terriermon won't fight."
"Huh? Why not?"
"Because his Tamer has forbidden it."
Renamon walks away leaving Impmon looking dumbfounded as ever. He was appalled at how Renamon treated him as if he were just an amateur.
"What kind of a digimon doesn't want to fight?! But since those kids turned him into a pet, I can whip his doughy butt. Just think of the possibilities!"
***************************************************************************************
Rika breathe heavily while clutching her chest. She then sits down and kneels to regain her composure.
"Renamon…"
With that said, the neon-colored fox appears from out of nowhere while replying to her Tamer.
"Yes Rika?"
"Can you take a look outside and see who is there?"
"As you wish."
Renamon opens the door and then pokes her head out. She looks around her surroundings and sees nothing. She closes the door and turns to face Rika.
"So, who was it?"
"Nobody."
"Don't lie to me! I know somebody is out there!"
Renamon looks right down at Rika as if she were about to say something, but then Rika gives her a cold look.
"What the hell is that look for?"
"Don't worry, Rika. I'm always here to protect you."
"No! You don't need to protect me! I don't know why you even bother saying that!"
"But we're partners…"
"Look! I don't buy into any of this partners and feelings crap! You hear me?!"
Renamon is taken by shock at the tone of voice and the language that Rika was using. Rika looks down and goes walking out the door.
"I don't need you. I don't need anybody."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere in the park, the two Tamer boys are seen practicing their card slash skills, while Terriermon and Guilmon watched on. Guilmon decided to play on the grass. The butterflies attracted Guilmon.
Takato shows off his card slash pose and then looks right over to Henry as if waiting for some opinions.
"So, how did I do?"
"Hmm, nod bad."
"Not bad?"
"Yeah. We just need to work on certain strategies. That is what makes a Tamer shine and it's very important to know. Have you heard of combos?"
"Um, when you use two or more attacks all at once at the very same time?"
"Yep and if you use two of them in succession, you can get some pretty nifty results."
Just then, their conversation was quickly interrupted as Impmon pokes his head out from a tree nearby. He then hangs onto a tree branch in order to hold his balance.
"Well, well. If it isn't the dumb-dumb club! Did you miss me boys?"
"Ugh. Just ignore him," said Henry.
"Easy for you to say. You can't even you even smell him."
"Guilmon! We're leaving now," said Takato.
Guilmon quickly reacts to his Tamer and then runs right over towards him as they headed off out of the park.
"Aw, c'mon! I just want to hang around and give you guys a nice, friendly butt kicking!"
But then he notices the gang leaving out of the park. He peers right over at Terriermon as if he were already picking out his target already.
"Renamon was right! They won't fight back. But looks like I'll just have to blast some sense into them."
Terriermon quickly looks right back towards Impmon with a suspicious look on his face. Henry then looks to Terriermon giving him the 'don't attack' expression on his face. Impmon points over towards Terriermon as a flame appears at the tip of his finger. He tosses it right towards Terriermon.
"Bada-Boom!"
"Terrier Tornado!"
The attacks collided with one another but the Terrier Tornado certainly proved to be superior to the Bada-Boom flame. Impmon is taken back by surprise and watches as he gets blown right back by the force of the attack.
"Terriermon, I just said not to touch him."
"Well, I didn't really touch him."
"Ha! You're incorrigible," Henry remarked.
Far off from where the Tamers were goofing off, Yugi and Joey watched as a purple little devil came flying through the air.
"Yugi? What the heck was that?"
"Didn't look like no bird."
Impmon screamed through the air, until he was smacked into a building window. His face was crunched against the glass and he peered through to find several undressed girl models screaming.
"Ack! Pervert!'
"There's a peeping john!"
"Like, what an ugly mug! Totally!"
"Ugh, human females. They're the worst," Impmon thought to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Rika is walking through a building and then is quickly overcome with the same sudden chillness in the air. She shivered and was shaking like there was no tomorrow. Something was appearing from behind her. Two glowing eyes looked over at Rika as if she were a piece of meat. She quickly turns around and sees nothing.
"Am I seeing things?"
She then turns to see something transparent flying up some nearby stairways. She goes chasing right after it with an enraged look on her face. She would now find out who has been stalking her this whole time.
"Hey you! I saw you creep! There's no where for you to escape now!"
Rika goes running up the stairs and quickly runs out of breath. She leans against a wall and then her eyes are now filled with shock and bewilderment. But just as she was about to make her next move, a hand reached out and grabbed her from behind. Rika tried to scream but the hand covered her mouth. Then a heavy fog came and swallows them both up. The mist fades away and they both disappear within a matter of moments. A deep, cold laughter was heard echoing.
**************************************************************************************
Rika finds herself within a dark and icy room. Her body was shivering just as ever and she was rendered helpless without her partner to protect her. She was alone at the moment.
"Its… so… cold…"
[Metallica's "Enter Sandman" plays without the lyrics]
Suddenly, an icy cold figure emerges from the ground and it quickly appears behind Rika while wrapping his wings around her. It looked just like the old, black-gear possessing Devimon, but this one looked a bit smaller and was made out of ice instead. He looks right down at Rika.
"Hello there, Rika Nonaka. I've been waiting a long time to finally meet you."
"Are you a digimon?"
"Yes."
"And are we in a digital field?"
"Yes, we are. Isn't it just beautiful? This area suites you perfectly."
"Really? How…"
"The way you treat others, thinking you are cold as ice. You have no room for any warm and weak relationships. You demand perfection not just from yourself but from others as well."
Rika looks down and nods as if she were agreeing with everything that the icy demon is telling her. All of these traits sure make up her entire personality.
"Which is why we are destined to become partners."
"Us, partners? No, I already have a partner… Renamon…"
Just then, Renamon lifts her head up while sitting on a rooftop and looks out into the city ahead of her. She could feel Rika's presence and actually heard Rika calling for her help.
"Rika? Where are you, Rika?"
Renamon goes heading out towards the location of where Rika was being held captive by the creature known as Icedevimon.
"Oh, Renamon. What have I done?"
Just as she was about to reach over to her D-Ark, Icedevimon places a hand over her.
"I want to show you something."
"What is it?"
"To prove my loyalty to you. I brought along a little show and tell. So you may my power for yourself."
With that said, Icedevimon's wings pull back and the lights start to flicker on. Surrounding them was a circle full of icicles. Inside each and every one of them icicles were digimon. Rika couldn't believe at what she was seeing and gasped in horror.
**************************************************************************************
Outside of the icy building, Calumon was gazing over and could see none other than the two Tamer boys heading over towards the building. Guilmon and Terriermon were running alongside side of the boys. Kari and Gatomon were catching up with the boys.
"These boys sure run fast," Kari stated. "I shouldn't be complaining since I jog almost every morning."
"You just need to work out a little more," muttered Gatomon.
"Hey, guys! Whatca doing?!"
But they were in no mood to answer any questions as they rushed past Calumon. Calumon turns around and then goes flying right after them.
**************************************************************************************
Back inside of the ice chamber, Icedevimon began explaining of what he has done for the past few years in the Digital World.
"For years, Rika, I've hunted hundreds of digimon and absorbed their data. They were friends of some, maybe even partners. But just like you once said, they were merely stepping stones."
"No! I never said that."
"Ah, but you did. I fight to digivolve and you make your digimon into the exact same thing."
"No, there's more to digimon than fighting. I would never turn Renamon into something that you already are, a monster."
"Better a powerful monster than a weak nobody. Is that what you really want?"
"I'll tell what I don't know and that's not to be the partner of a murderer!"
Rika eventually breaks free of Icedevimon's icy grip and faces him with eyes full of tenacity and rage.
"You don't know a damn thing about me! Why do you even care?! I suggest you go scare somebody else with your act, because I sure no buying it!"
"Ah, you have no idea on how exquisite you are when you're angry. I've been searching for so long for a partner like you, someone with a heart of ice and a will of stone. Now my search is finally over. I want you to become my Tamer."
"Up yours pal!"
Icedevimon quickly launches out an arm and quickly grabs Rika by her hand. She struggles with the icy demon.
"You even said yourself. You want to become the strongest digimon tamer and I want to become the strongest digimon! Together we shall be unbeatable!"
"Never!"
"Oh. So you still must be thinking of that pitiful excuse of a digimon, Renamon. Why do you even settle for second best? Why waste time with beauty when you can tame the beast?"
Rika then reaches over to her D-Ark, which Icedevimon quickly notices as a smile forms across his face.
"Go ahead, summon her. Perhaps she could prefer a live demonstration of who is the superior digimon really is."
"No!"
"Then I'll just have to call for her myself.
With that said, Icedevimon powers up and then shoots a powerful ice beam right through the ceiling and watching it penetrate through and releasing an beam, which could signal the location of the lair for Renamon to find.
Suddenly, a door opened and standing there were the two Tamer boys. Takato and Henry looked over to see Icedevimon holding Rika captive. Kari, Gatomon, Guilmon and Terriermon came into view next.
"Look over there! It's Rika! And she's being held captive! I wonder who that is," exclaimed Takato, "But he better let her go before things will get very nasty!"
"My god! How did this whole place turn into a giant refrigerator?" Kari asked.
"That's the reason! Look!" Gatomon exclaimed.
"He looks almost like Neo Devimon," Kari stated.
The young woman quickly looked back to the time when Neo Devimon kidnapped her and TK. This took place when Kari was still a little girl. She remembered it as if it were yesterday.
"I won't forget a face like that," Kari growled.
Henry took out his D-Ark and a hologram image of Icedevimon appears with information about him.
[Icedevimon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Frozen Claw, Tundra Freeze. A Fallen Angel Type]
"Rika, I thought you didn't have any friends," taunted Icedevimon.
"You better let her go," Takato cried out.
"I don't think so boy! We were getting acquainted."
"You're not her partner! Rika already has Renamon," Takato exclaimed.
"You kidnapped her!" Kari exclaimed. "Let her go!"
"Well, I say its time for a little upgrade," said Icedevimon.
"Let me go, damn it," Rika cried out.
"So, what are we going to do now," asked Takato.
"Hmmm. This one is going to be hard. Icedevimon is more powerful than all of the previous digimon we have defeated."
"But never say never until we try to fight him!"
"We're going to need a effective strategy to take him down."
"Right! You hear that, Guilmon?! Go get him!"
"Stay back, Gatomon. They should be able to handle him."
"Alright then. Be careful, guys!"
Guilmon and Terriermon both nodded as they went out charging right at Icedevimon. Icedevimon saw them coming and his eyes started to flare into a metallic, blue color.
"Goody, goody. Time to fight!"
With that said, Icedevimon shoots out a beam and it nails the two digimon directly and freezing them along their tracks. Takato and Henry looked on in horror as their digimon were now encased in solid ice cubes.
"Guilmon!"
"Terriermon!"
"Well, things just didn't turn out right at that moment," Gatomon stated.
Icedevimon simply stands there laughing maniacally while holding Rika at his side. The Tamer boys were shocked in disbelief at what just happened. Rika turns away and could only hope for her savior, Renamon.
"Oh this doesn't look good. Not at all," remarked Calumon while catching the battle from above the ceiling.
Takato and Henry tried to break open the ice cubes with rocks and tools that were found nearby. But to no avail, they were unable to break free of their digimon. Gatomon tried to use her claw attacks, but it was hopeless. Nothing seemed to break through the ice block
"Ok, lets try this!"
Henry pulls out a card from his pocket and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Heat card activate!"
With that said, the ice contained Terriermon was about to burst open in flames but to no avail. Henry could only look on with shock on his face.
"It didn't work," exclaimed Henry.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Takato.
"If only I could fusion evolve with Gatomon and we could become Celesta X, but I don't want to put the boys in danger. My power could be too much for them to bear," Kari thought.
"Rika! Where is Renamon?" Henry called out to the young girl.
"She's gone. She's not coming. Even if I called her, she wouldn't come."
"Aw, c'mon, Rika. Fess up, did you two get into a fight," Icedevimon taunted her, "That just proves that she's too weak to handle a special Tamer such as yourself. You need a partner that appreciates her and craves her cold strength."
Rika backs away with an angry look on her face. IceDevimon lifts his hands up and embraces himself.
"Embrace the future that I offer you!"
"Oh, Renamon…"
[Disturbed "Fear" plays]
Suddenly, a shower of diamonds came shooting out from the top-level entranceway, which quickly catches everybody's attention. Icedevimon looks up to see none other than the neon-colored fox, Renamon. Rika looks up and gasps.
"Renamon!"
"Well, well. If it isn't the illustrious Renamon, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to destroy you."
"No! Look out, Renamon!"
Renamon starts powering up and flies up into the air. She crosses her arms and then goes to shoot out her Diamond Storm, but Icedevimon quickly phases right in front of her and cuts off her attempt by thrusting his fist into Renamon's gut. He then raises his hand back and smacks her away with ease.
"Frozen Claw!"
Renamon goes flying down but then lands on her hand. She flips backwards and then goes for another attempt at her Diamond Storm, but Icedevimon phases right in front of her yet again. He winds back and then smacks Renamon onto the ground once again.
"Frozen Claw!"
Renamon tries to stand up but she felt weakened after taking those blows from Icedevimon. She collapses onto the ground.
"Rika! You have to make Renamon evolve right away," exclaimed Takato.
"Rika! Listen, you can't win without Renamon! You have to help her! You're her partner!" Kari exclaimed. "Don't let fear overwhelm you!"
"But I can't! If I let her evolve, she'll end up being a monster like Icedevimon,"Rika said to herself. "I just hope you forgive me, Renamon."
"Tell me! Why you look at Renamon like that? A digimon is only useful when it's fighting! Why do you care for her so much?!"
"She's my friend! I care cause she's my friend!"
Just then, Rika's D-Ark started to emit a beam of light and Calumon stood with his head diamond emitting a red glow.
[Digimon Tamers First Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION!
Her body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her new form, which would be her champion-leveled form.
"Renamon shinka!"
Now Renamon was Quadra pedal. There was a pair of nine tails were in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpine-like, but retained of her Renamon features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her new name.
"Kyuubimon!"
Icedevimon peers right over at his newly evolved adversary and growls to himself. Kyuubimon begins to raise her ki level as the ground around her started to shake and small icy rocks floated around her. Icedevimon did the same thing but only this time he was able to lift much larger icicles. Kyuubimon lifted her nine tails and they were now emitting a fire glow.
"What's the matter frosty? How about some warm fire to lighten your mood? Fox Tail Inferno!"
Just as she was shooting out several fire balls over towards the icy demon, he was able to maneuver away just in time and then phases right out. He appears right above her and then shoots out two icy beams from his eyes.
"Tundra Freeze!"
Kyuubimon was able to maneuver away as she began charging right over towards Icedevimon while ready to pounce on him. But Icedevimon saw her coming and went to use a second attack to keep her at bay.
"Avalanche Claw!"
Soon, the devil man's sharp icicles struck down Kyuubimon. It quickly sent her flying down onto the ground, but she was lucky enough to survive such a disastrous head on attack.
The Tamer boys could only look on helplessly without their digimon. But then Henry had another idea.
"We've got to do something!" exclaimed Takato.
"I got an idea. Here goes nothing!"
Henry pulls out yet another card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Expansion card!"
All of a sudden, Terriermon began to expand as if he were a balloon and then breaks out of the ice with tremendous force. At the same time, Guilmon was able to break free since they were both frozen together. Guilmon shook his head to get the ice out from his ears and Terriermon shrunk back down to his normal size.
"Not a bad strategy," Gatomon stated.
"That's one way of pulling yourself out of a predicament," Kari replied.
"Alright! Now its our turn!" Takato cried out.
"I don't think so, boy!" replied Icedevimon.
From out of the smoke, Kyuubimon used the last amount of strength to lift herself up and then shoots out another fireball from her tail. But as soon as it went flying towards Icedevimon, he was able to move his head away and watched as it blasted away a nearby ice cube.
"Alright, Guilmon! Its time to attack! This time, no failures," exclaimed Takato.
Guilmon nods and then goes charging out into the battlefield. Takato pulls out a card of his own and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Speed card!"
With that said, Guilmon began to charge with rapid speed and was able to catch up towards Icedevimon.
"I see you're back for more already," said Icedevimon.
"Pyro Sphere!"
Icedevimon managed to maneuver away from the powerful fire blast by phasing out, but then he goes flying down at Guilmon with relentless force.
"Frozen Claw!"
"Look out, Guilmon!" Gatomon cried out.
Takato pulls out yet another card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark, but this time being a different type of card.
"Card Slash! Hyper Wing card!"
Guilmon looked over to see two pairs of angel-like wings instantly appearing on his back. He then lifts himself from the ground and grabs Icedevimon.
"No! Let go!"
Guilmon rams Icedevimon into the ceiling head first and this allowed Guilmon enough time to power up for his next attack. A bright aura formed across his body and then shoots out a fire blast from his mouth.
"Pyro Sphere!"
The blast goes shooting right at Icedevimon as it quickly vaporized his entire body, and the ice demon let his final screams before he exploded into a cloud of data. Rika watches as Icedevimon's claw came falling down which gave her a bit of a scare.
"He's gone… He's really gone…"
Guilmon then began to absorb the last remaining data that was left of Icedevimon. Slowly, the digital field was dissipating.
***************************************************************************************
The group was now found on the top of the building's roof while all of their digimon were gathered in one corner. Henry walks up to Rika slowly.
"You guys were great," Kari complimented. "You're really coming through this quicker than I thought."
"Are you okay, Rika?" asked Henry.
"I hate him," Rika said under her breath.
"Well, you don't have to worry. He's gone," replied Takato, "He won't back ever again."
"Not just him. I hate digimon! All of them!" Rika snapped.
This caused Kari to gasp in utter shock. She couldn't believe she was hearing that from the pre-teen. The young girl walks off and doesn't even bother looking right back at the Tamer boys or even Kyubbimon. It was as if she were alienating herself from everybody that tries to be her friend.
"Tell you didn't mean that!" Takato said.
"Kari, tell me she did not just say that!" Gatomon hissed.
"She did… Oh Rika…"
He then turns around and sees Kyuubimon walking away in an opposite direction.
"Hey, where are you going?!"
Kyuubimon simply jumps right off the building and then disappears without a trace.
"Hey! Aren't you two even supposed to be friends?" Takato cried out.
"Just drop it, Takato. There's no use in talking sense into them," said Henry, "We better get home."
"You're right. It's getting late anyway."
"I'll take you boys home," Kari replied. "I'll just tell you're parents that I was tutoring you."
The boys nodded and followed Kari through the door to evacuate the roof area. The digimon followed along side of their three human partners.
"I can't believe I heard that from Rika," Kari thought. "Looks like trying to reason with her was difficult from the start."
"I just don't want Rika to beat herself up like this. I know she doesn't hate digimon. I just hope things will work out for herself and Renamon,"Takato said in thought.
***************************************************************************************
Later that night, Rika returned back home and she was none too happy after what had just happened to her tonight. It had to be one of the scariest things she has ever encountered; yet she wasn't going to let weakness overcome her.
She looks at her D-Ark and then tosses it right down into her garbage can. Rika looks right down at it with a hateful look on her face.
"I hate digimon!"
She then throws herself onto her bed and then begins to fall asleep, in order to rid herself of the memories of Icedevimon and Renamon.
Is it possible? Does Rika really hate digimon? Will she overcome this phase? Can Takato and the others help her to understand the meaning of friendship?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
A Two Way Digimon Rumble! The Tamers Must Act Now!
It was a beautiful afternoon in the city of Shinjuku. It was another busy day amongst the office people and the construction workers. However, it was just another walk in the park for the children. The digimon and duel monster card games were in competition with one another. Every since duel monsters was introduced, it became strong competition for the digimon cards. However, both have sold out pretty well for the kids.
If that wasn't enough, then there was also another game store. This one has recently taken many kids and teens by surprise. There was a Dungeon Dice Monsters store within the city. The first one became a huge success over at Domino City, which is about thirty miles from Shinjuku.
None other than Duke Devilin created the Dungeon Dice Monsters came. He had recently lost to Yugi Muto after accusing him of 'cheating' against Duel Monster's creator, Maxamillion Pegasus.
Kazu was standing in front of the new Dungeon Dice Monsters store. He couldn't believe his eyes. He had been collecting some of the best digimon and duel monsters cards. But this was his chance to finally try out Dice Monsters.
"Whoa! I thought there were going to open this place up next week?" Kenta pondered.
"Who cares? Man, I've been waiting for this store to come out. Did you hear that Duke Devilin runs one at Domino City?"
"Dude, it has have done pretty well if a second store was brought here."
"Yeah, it was all because of that duel he and Yugi had about a month ago."
"How could I forget about that?"
"What do you say? We don't have homework, so we can check this joint out," Kazu said.
"Sure. Last one there has to duel Takato!"
"Hey, no fair!'
***************************************************************************************
Much like Kazu and Kenta, Takato has just got out of school and was carrying a bag of what seemed to be just one loaf. He quickly rushes over towards the park in order to deliver the bread to Guilmon.
As soon as he got to the bunker home, he could see Guilmon already poking his nose through and sniffing the air. He could just smell the scent of bread, which made hungry as ever. But just as Takato arrived, Guilmon looked down and saw only on loaf of bread. A disappointed look came across his face.
"Aww, only one loaf of bread?"
"I'm sorry Guilmon. That's all we had left. But I promise to bring some more tomorrow with peanut butter on it."
Guilmon takes the bread and then munches it right down.
"We make a great team, Guilmon. There's not a digimon strong enough to beat the two of us," replied Takato.
**************************************************************************************
"Wow! This is so cool! I can't believe how complicating Dungeon Dice Monsters can be!" Kazu said.
"You said it. This is a lot tougher than the card games."
"If only we could use digimon in this. That would so rock our socks!"
"Attention, all shoppers! This is Duke Devilin!"
"Look! It's Dule Devilin! He's on television!"
"Thanks for making Dungeon Dice Monsters possible! Because of you're support, we've expanded territories. This store is the second Dice Monsters location in all of Japan. Shinjuku, give yourselves a hand! You and Domino City have made it all possible! Support Dungeon Dice Monsters and shop till your heart's content! We have yet to announce a Dungeon Dice Monsters tournament, so be sure you're ready for when the time comes. I'll be looking forward to meeting some new challenges."
"Whoa. You hear that? A Dungeon Dice Monsters tournament!" Kenta said. "Duke is looking for some new challenges."
"I think I can take him when I start dueling," Kazu said. "I have enough experience in digimon, so I think I can do pretty well in other games."
"He'll mop the floor with you, Kazu."
"He hasn't met his match. Only Yugi has defeated him so far. Just watch me, I'll be in the finals of this tournament."
"But you can't even beat Rika in digimon card dueling!"
"Just watch Kenta, I'll be the king of games one day."
"Yeah. More like the king of lames with that attitude," Kenta thought.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Henry was planning on taking a walk across West Shinjuku Bridge but people kept staring right at him and giving him looks. But he immediately knew why. Terriermon was on his head and attracting the attention of the people. It only made the boy a little bit uncomfortable.
"Why did you have to come? People are giving us looks."
"I had to. Besides, you wouldn't want Suzie to put me in tights and a tutu right about now."
But just then, the nearby pedestrians stopped and then looked over to what they saw was a large fog forming on the streets. This even caught Henry's attention as he looked over to see it.
"Another digital field," Henry said.
***************************************************************************************
[Hypnos theme plays]
Elsewhere, within the secret headquarters of Hypnos, Talley was having a little bit of trouble on the tracer.
"I can't seem to secure a tracer lock on the anomaly's data," said Talley.
"We won't even make it in time, since its going to bio-emerge," replied Riley.
"Use the Yuggoth program," exclaimed Yamaki.
"But sir, its too late! Its already begun," said Riley, "Estimating a full breach at sixty seconds and at this point the application of the Yuggoth program could be extremely dangerous."
"Don't you dare question me? Circumvent the safety grid and release the program immediately! This Wild One is a ticking time bomb."
***************************************************************************************
The fog on the streets was now getting bigger. Terriermon and Henry watched as the digital field was increasing getting bigger and there was now a good chance of another digimon planning to bio-emerge.
"Ok, Henry. I realize how nice the view is from up here. But how long do you think it will still that way if we don't check it out," Terriermon said.
Then, the little floppy-eared digimon jumps right off of Henry's shoulder and then begins to walks down in order to get a better view of the digital field. Henry gasped and went to chase right after him. Henry grabs him by the air and then holds the little guy back.
"We've got to go home now, Terriermon."
"Don't tell me you've changed your mind about Suzie and that tutu, because I'm not going to do it," exclaimed Terriermon as he tried to break free in order to catch up towards the digital field. "I just want to see if, if you only let me go!"
"Terriermon. How many times do I have to tell you?!"
"Oh alright. I promise just to see it and not touch it."
"You're going to have to stay away from this one. We should let someone else handle this for a change."
**************************************************************************************
Back within Hypnos, the so-called bio-emerging digital field was easily dealt with after using the Yuggoth program. A sigh of relief was heard among the group.
"The Yuggoth has found the Wild One," Riley said.
"Make sure that its completely destroyed and I want nothing left of it."
"Yes, sir."
***************************************************************************************
The digital field was quickly vanishing which caught both Terriermon and Henry by surprise. Terriermon was just as surprised.
"Well, I guess someone else handled it," Terriermon said.
**************************************************************************************
"The Wild One has now been terminated," reported Riley.
"Talley, get me an analysis of the impact of the real world right away as well as all the data we got at the point of the termination."
Yamaki forms a smirk across his face while popping open his lighter's top and gazing over it.
"No matter how much they claim to be living creatures. They are nothing more than pieces of trash on the Internet to me."
Just then, a deep voice comes from out of nowhere, and it catches Yamaki off guard. He looks across the room as if he had seen a ghost.
"I will have my revenge, humans!"
Yamaki growls under his breathe and then toss his lighter down onto the ground while revealing his true anger at the moment.
**************************************************************************************
Back within the streets of West Shinjuku, Henry continued to walk while Terriermon was looking down at him with a disdained look on his face.
"Henry, you never really explained why you wouldn't let me fight before."
"I just don't want you to fight."
"You know something? Rika was right about one thing and you are starting to sound like a broken record."
"Leave her out of this. I truly believed at first that on the net, digimon were only used for battle."
"So just because I'm here, you want me to start laying around like some sort of household pet?"
"Are you going to let me explain or not?"
"You once told me that my very existence in the real world was wrong. Is that how you feel about me? Because if it is, I'll just go sign up for the 'Miss Pretty Pants' treatment right about now."
"Oh, Terriermon. You know that's not what I meant. We're a team."
Just as the boy walked by, there were two ladies walking by. One had tan skin, blonde-hair and blue eyes. The other was sort of pale with blue-green hair. The blonde lady turned around and her eyes were in awe struck.
"Kiyone! Did you see that stuffed toy he had? It was so cute. I want one."
"Listen, Mihoshi. We're here to scope the area. There have been some disturbances. It's our duty as Galaxy Police to check everything out."
"But we're on vacation."
"Maybe, but these weird occurrences have been bothering me."
"Whatever you say, Kiyone."
"Now, c'mon. We've got some investigations to cover."
"I never get to have any fun."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Davis and Veemon were taking another walk. This wasn't the result of another argument with Sonja, but rather to find out more of the strange occurrences.
"Veemon? So, what do you think?"
"Think about what?"
"About these digimon popping out everywhere. It's been like this for weeks. Then, we ran into the Tamers. Those kids are doing a pretty good job upgrading their digimon."
"I need to get myself upgraded. I just feel pretty pathetic."
"Don't be. You've still got the will to fight. Even though Rika and my wife interfered in our battles lately, that doesn't mean that makes them better than we are. We're a great team."
"You're right. I'm just a little anxious. I really need to get stronger. I have to battle."
"Let's just not upload any data. That's not our style."
"Right."
"So, where to start? Huh? Look at that Veemon."
Davis pointed over at a shop with digimon cards. Veemon pressed his face against the glass window and peered through. His grinned as he gazed upon a Veemon card.
"Look at that, Davis! I'm famous!"
Davis glanced over at the Veemon card and gasped.
"But I wonder who created these cards and how did whoever figure out the name of my partner? This is getting too weird for me."
**************************************************************************************
Later that night, Henry was laying in his bathtub while thinking about what he had just said to Terriermon just a while ago about fighting.
"Henry has got to let me fight at some point. I can't just lay around like some sort of house pet."
But then, a little girl's voice came ringing out, which quickly catches Terriermon's attention and causes him to transform back into 'teddy bear mode'. He notices Suzie and remains still as she picks him up.
"Hewwo, Tewwiermon. You know what time it is!"
Henry comes walking out of the bathroom in a robe and drinking a glass of milk. He looks outside and then sees a silhouette of Renamon leaping into the air across the moonlight. He gasps and then goes walking out of his room, while Suzie continues to maul away at Terriermon.
"Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick,"Terriermon said to himself.
"Mom! Dad! I'm going to go out to get some more milk," Henry said as he walked out the door.
Henry runs down the stairs and then hops onto his bicycle, while heading off to follow Renamon's tracks. He would get to the bottom of this and ask why Renamon would be near his home. He thinks that she wants him to follow her.
**************************************************************************************
Rika was lying in bed while thinking of what she did yesterday. She remembers when she told them that she hated digimon.
"I guess I didn't make many friends yesterday. Ugh, whatever. Who needs them anyways?"
Just then, her trashcan falls over and it catches Rika by surprise. She looks over and looks to see who it was.
"Renamon, is that you?"
Suddenly, Calumon comes walking out of the trashcan with a smile on his face. He was holding Rika's bag of digimon cards and her D-Ark in both hands
"Nope, its just me. Why did you throw these away? Huh?"
"Ugh! You?! Why don't you just get out of my room!"
"Oh, you're not happy, aren't you? "
Calumon's ears fluttered open and then he hops onto the bed with a smile across his face.
"Hey, why don't we play then? That way you can be happy."
"Why don't you just leave me alone?"
Calumon places her D-Ark and her cards next to her bed and then goes walking off.
"Maybe later, they will make you happy."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Henry stops by to get a drink from a water fountain and then looks right up at Renamon, who was gazing up into the beautiful skies above.
"For some reason, Terriermon feels like he has to fight. Why would he purposely put himself into danger?"
No reply from Renamon, but Henry continued to ramble on about his problem with Terriermon.
"Terriermon just doesn't understand that if anything ever happened to him because of him because of me, I would never forgive myself."
"Until now, I've always thought my purpose in the real world was to fight and load the data of those she defeated, and digivolving and vanquishing my enemies were the only things that made me feel worthy while Rika's only attachment to her was as a Tamer who could make her stronger, but now I'm not so sure."
"There's got to be a reason that my friends and I were chosen to be digimon tamers in the first place and it would help us both if we could figure that out and I wonder what you think."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's home, Suzie was now deep asleep in her bed with Terriermon at her side while hugging him as if he were a stuffed animal. Since she was now asleep, this allowed Terriermon to break free and make his way out of Suzie's arms. Terriermon goes and covers Suzie with a blanket and jumps off the bed.
"Boy, she's sure a lot cuter when she's asleep."
***************************************************************************************
Patrolling the skies for any digital fields, Hawkmon flew across several blocks of neighborhoods. He was in constant search for any bio-emerging digimon. So far, he failed to gain any new information.
"Ugh, to think that Yolei would put me on patrol! My wings are starting to cramp."
Suddenly, he felt an unknown source from the corner of his eye. He flew over towards the source and found a digital field.
"I'm getting a bad feeling about this."
A pair of glowing eyes was seen through the foggy digital field. Hawkmon flew back and watched as the fog diminished.
"What is going on here?!"
Out of the digital field came a wolf-like creature with razor claws and three heads rather than just one. Hawkmon flew over to a tree branch and took a glaze over at the digimon.
"What's a Cerberumon doing here? Are those the things that digimon have used to crossover? I better report to this Yolei!"
With that said, Hawkmon flies out to inform his partner about the latest bio-emergence he has discovered. Cerberumon yawned and prowled like the predator that he was.
"Where am I? This isn't my home. Well, it doesn't matter where I am. I will search for data. I must feed to get stronger. Is there any worthy prey for me to feast upon?"
Cerberumon went about to begin his hunt for any digital life forms. That even includes the digimon of the Destined and Tamers. They had to be aware of this dark predator.
***************************************************************************************
The next day after school, Henry was walking along planning to go home early. Just then, Takato comes running up to him.
"Hey Henry! Have you taken up bird watching? Man, I'm hoping for another digimon would show up. I'm ready for another battle."
"Aren't you just being a little too optimistic? I mean, you've been too obsessed in using that combo that you used against Icedevimon. Repeating the same combination over and over again won't do that trick…"
"Hey chumley! Over here!" called out a voice.
Takato turns around to see another none other than Kazu and Kenta looking over towards them. Kazu had a smug look on his face and pointed over to Takato. Kazu runs over at Takato and then applies a headlock on him.
"Kazu!"
"Guess what, chumley? They've opened a new Dungeon Dice Monsters store here in town. Isn't that great. Kenta and I checked the place out. They'll probably even host some Dice Monster tournaments. I plan on beating Duke Devilin."
"I'd like you to see you try. I just whooped you in digimon card battle," Takato replied.
"Speaking of which, you owe me a rematch. You were just lucky to have beaten me. But now, I've learned a few aces up my sleeve."
"Apparently your not the digimon master you say you are, Takato. Why not take the both of us on?" Kenta said.
Takato eventually breaks free of Kazu's headlock and catches himself from falling back.
"You both are on! I'll take you on anytime."
"Alright! Well, I'm ready now and your going to have to say your prayers because your going down at the hands of me," Kazu remarked.
Jeri and another girl named Nikki come walking by giggling while conversing with each other that wasn't digimon related. Jeri overheard their conversation and speaks up.
"Oh, aren't you guys getting a little tired of digimon? I mean, you talk about it all the time."
"Well kids will be kids," replied Nikki.
With that said, both Kazu and Kenta both replied to their remarks to defend what they loved most, that being digimon in general.
"Oh yeah! We maybe kids, but at least we have a hobby. Besides, we're also into duel monsters and what not!" exclaimed the two fanboys.
As the two girls walked off laughing, Kazu turns his attention back over to Takato.
"So are you ready, chumley," Kazu asked, "We haven't got all day."
Takato was about to get ready as he turned around in order to talk to Henry, but as soon as he turned around, Henry was already gone.
"Henry? Huh, where did you go?"
***************************************************************************************
Later that day and elsewhere in West Shinjuku, Henry was walking down a street with Terriermon along his side.
"Hey, Henry. You never told me where we are going. Are we going to shop?"
"We aren't doing anything. You were supposed to stay home like you were told."
"But I may never go home after what Suzie did to me. Suzie's 'Chamber of Horrors' is worse than battling any digimon."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the three boys were on the verge of finishing up their game. Kazu eventually beats Takato in their rematch.
"Ha! Looks like I won this round, chumley!"
"I can't believe you beat me. I didn't see that one coming."
"I just hope you enjoyed your little victory last time because you'll never have one again," said Kazu.
"You're going to feel pain when we keep whooping you," remarked Kenta.
"Well, you know what?! Its just a stupid card game," Takato snapped, "I have more important things to do in my spare time! Taming real digimon is what separates the boys from the men!"
"Who are you trying to kid? Your a loser and a liar."
"I am not!"
"Oh yeah. I got the Loch Ness Monster in my bathtub. You want to see," Kenta remarked, "Now show us this real digimon."
"I will."
"Just give it up. It's hopeless. You got no proof. Besides all those digimon during the Virus's War Games were just a trick. Everything about them were just all phony tricks plotted by the government," said Kazu.
"I'm not lying!"
"Then prove it," said Kenta.
"Alright. You guys asked for it. You're going to get it. Follow me."
Kazu and Kenta both looked at each other with confused looks on their faces. They were now beginning to think that Takato has lost it but decided to go along with him to see this "real digimon".
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Yolei had just got off the phone with Kari and Davis. She had told them about the latest digimon spotting, which was informed by Hawkmon.
"Are you sure you saw a digimon emerge from the fog?"
"Yes, Yolei. I don't know how to describe, but I felt a pretty bad vibe from it. We better keep our eye out."
"Yeah. What do you think, Ken?"
"I agree with Hawkmon. I was told that these digimon upload data after killing their prey. Wormmon, you and Hawkmon had better stay indoors. There's no telling when this digimon might ambush you without warning. Is that clear?"
"I hear you, Ken," Wormmon replied.
"Is that agreed?" Yolei asked Hawkmon.
"Agreed."
"What else could go wrong? There's too many digimon crossing over into our reality," Ken thought.
***************************************************************************************
Moments later, the three boys were over at Guilmon's bunker home. Takato points over and opens the gate. Kazu and Kenta peers inside to see this so called digimon.
"Now you guys have to swear not to tell anyone," said Takato.
"Whatever," remarked Kazu.
"Ok, I promise," replied Kenta.
"Guilmon! You can come out," exclaimed Takato.
The two boys look inside and they see nothing but blank darkness. Not a sign of Guilmon anywhere.
"Ok, you're so full of it, Takato. Real digimon, yeah right," Kazu remarked once again.
Suddenly, there was low growling and two yellow, glowing eyes coming from within the dark bunker. Kazu and Kenta looked on with shocked expressions on their faces. And as soon as the monster sneezed, the two boys' eyes widened and they began to run away in fear. Takato laughed away as he saw his two friends running away as fast as they could.
"Hey, Takatomon. Did you call me?" asked Guilmon, who now exposed himself from within the bunker.
"Were you asleep?" Takato asked.
Guilmon begins to sniff the air and then looks over towards his Tamer partner. Takato had just forgotten about the bread full of peanut butter that he had promised for Guilmon the other day.
"Sorry, boy. I wasn't able to bring any peanut butter."
"I don't care about that. But I smell a digimon."
"Oh yeah! I'm ready whenever you are," exclaimed Takato.
Now this was the young boy's chance to get back into action and have Guilmon attack another digimon.
**************************************************************************************
The Hypnos team has now received a report that a digital field was beginning to materialize over at West Shinjuku Bridge.
"Sir, there was an unexpected bio-emergence in the city," Talley reported. "We were unable to stop it."
"However, we've located the next one. It's the same one, which attempted a bio-emergence yesterday," Riley said.
"Quickly put a tracer on this one!"
"The tracer is now locked and the Yuggoth program is ready to be deployed," said Riley.
"Heh. Goodbye, friend. It was nice knowing you," Yamaki chuckled and mentioning towards the Wild One.
Just then, their idea didn't go exactly according to plan as the Wild One was able to destroy the Yuggoth program.
"Sir! The Wild One we had terminated earlier has now destroyed the Yuggoth!"
This catches Yamaki by surprise as he drops his lighter on the floor and looks out into space so to speak and speechless at what Riley had just reported to him. No digital life form was able to destroy the Yuggoth with such ease as this one. Just then, the deep voice was quick heard among the Hypnos crew.
"I will now have revenge upon each and every single of you pathetic humans!"
"I need to know where it is located!" exclaimed Yamaki.
"I just lost him! He's about to bio-emerge!" exclaimed Talley.

Meanwhile, within the area of the West Shinjuku Bridge, Takato and Guilmon made over towards the digital field and watched as a figure slowly materializing itself.
"Whoa! There is it!" exclaimed Takato.
"Yeah and he sure doesn't look friendly either," said Guilmon.
Just then, Takato turned around to see none other than Kari along with Gatomon. They had just arrived a little late after Takato contacted them a little earlier.
"We came here as fast as we could," said Kari, "So where is he?"
"There I can sense his power level. Its pretty high for such an average digimon," said Gatomon.
The digimon that came walking out from the digital field was a warrior clad in samurai armor and a kitana sword in one hand. Takato takes a look at his D-Ark, in order to get a reading on the newly bio-emerged digimon.
[Musayamon. Champion Level. Special Attacks: Shogun Sword and Ninja Blade]
"He's a champion level. We better be careful with this guy. Guilmon, you ready?"
[Saliva "Click Click Boom" plays]
Guilmon nodded. Kari looks over to Gatomon and she nods over to her. Gatomon meets up with Guilmon, as they both had their eyes locked onto Musayamon, their new adversary.
"Vengeance shall be mine," exclaimed Musayamon as he quickly drew and raised his sword.
The samurai digimon runs over at the two digimon, but they quickly maneuvered to each side. Gatomon quickly powers up and tosses a small ki-blast over at Musayamon, but the samurai quickly dispersed it with his sword. Guilmon goes running towards Musayamon from behind and fires a Pyro Sphere at him. Musayamon manages to leap out of the way as he quickly avoids the fiery blast.
Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it through his D-Ark, this card would enable Guilmon to gain more speed.
"Card Slash! Hyper Speed!"
Guilmon quickly nails a dropkick to Musayamon and sends him flying back.
"You are pathetic for even taking orders from that human," said Musayamon.
The samurai rushes forward and then phases right out. He then nails a shoulder takedown on Guilmon, which sends the fiery monster flying back. Gatomon goes flying up and then shoots out several beams from her eyes. Musayamon was able to see them coming and blasts a ki blast that easily dispersed the beams.
"C'mon, Guilmon! You can do it," exclaimed Takato.
"Go, Gatomon! Its two on one for cripes sake!"
Elsewhere, Terriermon was able to pick up several power levels nearby and his ears went up. He jumps down and turns to face Henry.
"I think we got company, Henry! Lets go check it out!"
"Don't even think about it."
**************************************************************************************
Riley was able to pick up the exact location of the Wild One that had just bio-emerged and went to inform Yamaki of its current pinpoint location on the safety grid.
"Sir! I just found the bio-emergent point coordinates."
"Tell me. Where is it located?"
"Over at West Shinjuku Bridge."
"I'm on my way there."
With that said, Yamaki goes running down the stairs and goes heading out towards West Shinjuku, so that he may further investigate the location of the digital field, but did not realize that he was going to be in the line of ire.
**************************************************************************************
"Yo, Henry! Aren't you even curious?! Don't you even care," Terriermon asked frantically.
Suddenly, a little girl had just lost grip on her balloon and goes running to grab it, but was now running towards inside the digital field at the same time. Henry soon watches on and then chases right after her.
But just as he entered the digital field, he found Musayamon standing his guard while facing off against both Guilmon and Gatomon. He then notices both Takato and Kari were away from the battle itself.
"This looks bad," said Henry.
Both Guilmon and Gatomon go rushing at Musaymon while hammering away at him with rapid punches and kicks, but Musayamon was able to block each hit being thrown at him. Takato grabs another card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Hyper Wing!"
Guilmon quickly powers up as two pairs of angel wings appear on his back. But for some reason, he was losing control of his flight.
"Oh, Takato! Something doesn't feel right here."
"But I used this wings technique for you last time. I don't understand why it isn't working this time around."
"That's because, you can't do the same technique over and over again. Trust me, it just doesn't work that way," said Kari.
"I can't stop it," exclaimed Guilmon as he was now floating effortlessly in the air.
"Takato, watch out," exclaimed Henry.
"I need your help," said Takato, "I don't even have any more useful cards now! Things aren't going good as we speak."
Musayamon begins to advance forward while Gatomon was on the ground trying to catch her breath.
"What to do now?! If I don't do anything now, we'll all be made into sushi. And I don't think I will be able to talk them out of this one,"Henry said to himself.
Musayamon raises his sword over the little girl and then a sadistic smile forms across his face.
"Goodbye human."
They all looked on in shock, especially Henry. He stood there in complete shock and didn't know what to do since he has alienated Terriermon from getting himself involved in any fighting activity.
"We've got to stop him," exclaimed Henry.
"Well it's about time, Henry. Give me a little boost," said Terriermon.
Henry pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Hyper Sonic!"
"I think its about to teach this creep its not safe to play with knives," Terriermon said as he quickly powered up and aura forms over his body.
The little cream-colored digimon flies over at Musayamon with rapid speed and delivers a devastating head butt.
"Time to finish the job," said Henry.
Just then, Calumon appears from a nearby sidewalk and the diamond on his forehead began to glow, which now was going to allow Terriermon to evolve.
[Digimon Tamers First Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION!
Henry's D-Ark shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Terriermon's body. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.
"Terriermon shinka!"
Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms. And a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Gargomon!"
Musayamon goes charging right over towards Gargomon with his sword ready to slice the gun bunny into sushi, but Gargomon quickly phases out. Gargomon reappears right behind Musayamon and a smile forms across his face.
"Boy. You just never learn."
Gargomon points his guns over at Musayamon and then fires his guns but Musayamon was able to counter them with his Shogun Sword. Galgomon powers up and then rushes right over at Musayamon and deliver one of his finishing attacks.
"Gargo Laser!"
Musayamon goes flying back as Gargomon lands down down onto his feet, Musayamon lands on his back and his body quickly explodes into data. Gargomon takes the opportunity and absorbs the last of the samurai's data.
With that done, Guilmon snatches the little girl's balloon but then his wings faded out which caused him to fall down onto the ground. The little girl goes running up to him and Guilmon hands it back to her.
"Thank you!"
"Uh huh."
Just then, the digital field was starting to dissipate, the three rush the little girl over to her mother and then they all run over into another direction without being seen.
The little girl looks up at her mother and tugs on her shirt to grab her attention.
"Mommy! Mommy! I say real digimon! Over there!"
Suddenly, Yamaki was seen over among the crowd of people with a questionable look on his face. Now he has now gotten the chance to actually see the digimon for himself.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the Tamer boys were both catching their breath after a long run. Kari and Gatomon stood at one corner doing the same thing as well.
"You guys sure owe me for getting you out of there as fast as possible. We would have been caught," Kari said.
"Thanks, Kari. We sure owe you," said Takato.
"Hey Henry? Are you okay with all of this," asked Gargomon.
"Well there wasn't any other choice," replied Henry, "Sometimes, there just times that there is a reason to fight. Gargomon, I sure owe you an apology. There are just some battles worth fighting. I admit that now that we're working together as partners and I'm going to have to learn a little bit more about taming."
"Momentai."
"And I also owe you an apology too, Guilmon," said Takato, "I really messed up today. You just keep slashing one card after another and didn't even think about what might happen to you."
"But you learned from it. That's all that matters," Kari said, "I went through the same thing, only except not with cards."
"And besides, I kind of liked flying anyway," said Guilmon, "Tell me mai!"
"Um, momentai," Gargomon corrected him.
"Momentai. Momentai! Hey c'mon everybody, lets all momentai," exclaimed Takato as he runs off.
As soon as Takato walks off, the others go on and follow him. Kari and Gatomon watch on with smiles on their faces.
"Don't you just wish you were a kid again, Kari," asked Gatomon.
"In a way, I do. But I sure love being around kids now," replied Kari, "C'mon lets get home. I'm starving anyways."
"You read my mind. Tonight, its tuna casserole for me, nothing else matters."
"Ok, whatever you want."
Suddenly, the whole gang was completely unaware of being watched upon none other than Yamaki himself, who was standing behind a tree while closing up his lighter.
***************************************************************************************
Davis and Veemon passed by through the area where the battle against Musayamon had taken place. They were too late to make their presence felt.
"Damn. We've just missed it!" Davis cursed.
"How unfortunate. We've been pretty unlucky lately," Veemon replied.
"Oh well. There's always another time. Don't worry about it."
"How about we go grab some grub. I'm starving."
"Dude, you've got a bottomless pit!"
"I can't help it. I lose energy too fast."
"We'll go grab ourselves some burgers, how about that?"
"Sounds good. Let's go get some grub."
Unknown to them, Cerberumon watched them pass along. He hid in an alleyway and gazed over at Veemon.
"A fine amount of data walks by. That Veemon should be my perfect prey. Splendid. This has turned out better than I expected."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the building of Hypnos, the group was now picking up the location of yet another bio-emergence ready to occur within the next few moments. Talley was the first to pick up the anomaly and reported it to Yamaki.
"I've just detected a disturbance in the network data stream," said Talley.
"What is its origin," asked Yamaki.
"I'm not so sure," replied Talley.
"Hmmm. I remember seeing those children and their digital pets. Ugh, they're nothing but a bunch of nuisances."
***************************************************************************************
Menawhile, Takato was walking towards the park in hopes of finding Kazu and Kenta to talk to them. And he was lucky enough to find them starting to play a game without him. They looked over towards Takato.
"Hey, guys! Why did you run away like that yesterday?"
"Um, well. We just had 'stuff' to do," said Kenta, "Besides, how were you able to make him so real?"
"That's because he is real."
The two boys then began picking up their cards and their backpacks as they both headed out of the park, despite the fact that Takato had just gotten there.
"You're starting to freak us out, dude," said Kazu, "You probably made it out of rubber and put two flashlights to make them eyes. Nice try with the trick."
"But why would I do that?"
Jeri was seen observing the exchange from a distance.
"I know its freaky, but he is real. You even run away before I could even say hi."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Yamaki was seen standing around within West Shinjuku while flickering open his lighter.
"I didn't even think that these fools realize what kind of a dangerous game they're playing. Well, I think it's now time to enlighten them."
Unfortunately for Yamaki, he was unaware that Cerberumon passed along under the bridge with swift motions. The digimon ran through and even pushed aside a teen with a blue school uniform. The teen sat up and turned around. It was none other than Kuwabara.
"Whoa. Who let the dogs out?" Kuwabara.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, as Rika was walking home from school, all she could ever think about was Renamon and where possible disappearance ever since she alienated herself from any digimon activity.
"I really wonder if Renamon is really gone. I know all of this 'partner' stuff was nonsense. Renamon never truly cared for me. If she did, she would be here with me now and she was just using me."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, there was another anomaly being pinpointed on the safety grid and the people were working as hard as they could to put a tracer on it and lock it. Talley was the first to discover this.
"I'm detecting a Wild One. It appears to be erratic. A tracer is now set to monitor its progress."
"I wonder if it's the same one we missed the other day," Riley thought. "Yamaki sure isn't going to like hearing this."
***************************************************************************************
[Marilyn Manson "Rock is Dead" plays]
Suddenly, a digital field was beginning to appear over at a nearby baseball field diamond. Out of the fog came a trio of Flybeemon, but Renamon was there to arrive at a very appropriate time. She gets ready to face off the deadly trio.
Rika stops over at the digital field and examines it. Just then, Calumon comes hopping right by her.
"Hey, there. What's wrong, Rika?" asked Calumon.
Renamon watches as two Flybeemon attack her from opposite sides after phasing out. But Renamon was able to knock one away with her tail and slashes the other with her claws to destroy it.
"Whew, that was too easy."
Just then, the third Flybeemon shoots out a stinger and it pierces itself into Renamon's leg. She pulls out and yelps out in pain. Renamon feels her body weakening and falls to her knees.
"Rika, where are you…"
Now, Renamon realizes that Rika isn't coming and will have to do this all by herself.
Just then, Henry arrives and stops right by in front of Rika. He looks over at her and then questions the girl.
"Why are you just standing out here, when Renamon is in there? You're missing out on the fight. This isn't like you. So, is she in there?"
"Rika, Renamon needs you," Calumon said.
The remaining Flybeemon attack Renamon with their deadly Lightning Sting.
Rika simply runs off and out of sight. Henry tries to go after her but was too late to even catch up to her. Terriermon hops off and then looks over at the digital world.
"Man, what the heck is her problem?!"
While the Flybeemon advance towards her, Renamon quickly phases out and is seen hovering in the air while powering up. She then unleashes a barrage of diamonds over the two Flybeemon.
"Diamond Storm!"
The two armored invaders were quickly vanquished as they exploded into data. Renamon was able to collect their data and lands back down on her feet. She had won the battle without the help of her Tamer, which was something new for her.
"I did it. I destroyed them without Rika's help."
Cerberumon watched the entire battle from behind some bushes. He now got the idea of how to absorb another digimon's data.
"Thank you, foxy. You've just solved my problem on how to take my prey's data. First, I'll need to find that Veemon."
**************************************************************************************
Rika was seen elsewhere walking down a street while thinking about Renamon.
"She just wanted me there to help her digivolve! Well, I'm not going to fall for it ever again."
Calumon goes following right behind Rika as he was now concerned for her relationship with Renamon.
"Humans can be so silly. Sometimes they're up and down. They're just going to have to learn to go with the flow. Culu."
**************************************************************************************
As soon as Renamon left the diamond-shaped baseball field, she turned around to see none other than Henry.
"Rika was just here a little while ago. She was very worried about you."
"Rika? Are you sure?"
"She was like all white-faced and jumpy. She looked in a very bad way," Terriermon stated.
"I doubt that."
"But you and Rika fit together. You should be partners and now enemies."
"You keep using the word 'partners' and am I supposed to know what it really means," asked Renamon.
"You see. Terriermon and I are both partners and equals. We know each other's strengths and weaknesses. You two got to have something in common or you two wouldn't have become partners in the first place."
Renamon stands while considering Henry's words of advice. She wasn't sure if she was doing the right thing or not. But it was really up to Rika to decide this for herself.
***************************************************************************************
Yolei and Hawkmon walked along the streets to investigate the area where Cerberumon bio-emerged.
"It was right here, Yolei. The digimon emerged from this spot."
"How can you tell? You remember the exact spot?"
"I can smell his scent."
"I don't even want to know where it's been."
"He left towards this direction," Hawkmon pointed to the right side.
"Let's get going then."
"Yolei!" a voice called out.
"Huh? Hey, it's Davis!"
Davis came running out into the open with Veemon. Yolei waved to catch his attention.
"Yolei? What are you doing?"
"Hawkmon and I are looking for the digimon who crossed over last night."
"Last night? Yes! This is it, Veemon! It's our chance to show our stuff!"
"Finally!"
"Just what are you two up to?" Yolei asked.
"Just a little battle for Veemon. He wants the exercise."
"Yeah! It's time to get back into the game! Look out world, Veemon is in the house!"
Hawkmon and Yolei stood with sweat drops coming down their foreheads.
"What? Why are you giving us those looks for?" Veemon asked.
"Don't worry about it, Veemon. They're just impressed. Right, Yolei?"
"Um, yeah. We're excited. Aren't we Hawkmon?"
"Yes. Yes. We're very excited…"
"Good. Now let's find that digimon!"
"Something tells me that Davis getting way over his head again. His ego is still as big as ever," Yolei thought.
**************************************************************************************
Later that day, Henry and Takato were walking down while having a conversation concerning Rika and Renamon.
"It was one strange conversation," said Henry, "What would you have said to her?"
"Not sure. But Guilmon isn't really your average type of digimon that's for sure. He's my friend and I can rely on him, no matter what. But it seems both Rika and Renamon don't realize that and I wish I could help them. Its weird and I bet it's eating her up inside."
"I'd imagine that it is but with her, you just never know."
Suddenly, they turn around to see a tall man wearing a black suit and shades on. He looks down at them suspiciously and giving them some kind of death stare. The man was Yamaki.
"So, are you Takato Matsuki?"
"Yes, that me. Why ask?"
"And you must be Henry Wong. We've been handling a situation around the Shinjuku Guard Rail yesterday and you two have been under close observation. The game that you've been playing is dangerous and you better find a new hobby."
"Who are you? And why do you even care of what we do," Henry asked angrily.
"Takato! Takato!" called out a voice.
"Consider this as a warning," Yamaki said as he turns to leave.
"What do you mean by 'warning' and this isn't exactly normal human behavior," Henry called out as he ran after Yamaki.
Just then, Jeri was seen running up to Takato and the goggle boy turns to face her.
"Takato. I know it isn't nice to listen to other people's conversations," Jeri said, "But I just couldn't help it. Why were you arguing with Kazu and Kenta? It sounded like you were arguing about a real digimon. Is it true?"
"If you believe me, you wouldn't be scared if it was?"
"I believe you and I want to see this digimon."
***************************************************************************************
Moments later, Takato takes Jeri over to Guilmon's home and opens the gate.
"So, does he live in there," asked Jeri.
"Wait until you see him. I created him myself. His name is Guilmon."
"What kind of digimon is he?"
"Well, he's tough and he can really fight. His special attack is Pyro Sphere."
Just then, Guilmon's eyes started to glow briefly in the dark shadows. Takato quickly realizes Jeri's frightened expression.
"Um this might get ugly. Heh. Heh. I was just kidding and it's fake. Don't worry about it."
But to Takato's surprise, Guilmon emerges from the shadows and looks over to his Tamer.
"Um, Takatomon? Did you bring some more bread?"
Jeri notices him and then rushes over to Guilmon to give him a hug. Takato was quickly caught by surprise and really thought Jeri was going to run away in fear, but she embraced Guilmon instead.
"Cute!"
"Um, cute? You mean cool, right?"
"Um, I don't mind cute. But, who is she? Is she your girlfriend?"
"Well, she's a friend."
"Guilmon, I got a little present for you. And I'm going to put it right here."
Jeri pulls out a pink flower sticker and places it over Guilmon's nose. The red dinosaur examined it and a smile comes across his face.
"Ah, not bad. Cute, even!"
"Its cute alright," said Takato, "Ugh, I can't believe I just said that."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Yamaki was seen walking and he was able to ditch Henry and make sure that the boy wouldn't spy on him. He looks out towards an apartment complex and sees a young woman about to open her door. He suddenly approaches her.
"Excuse me miss, are you Kari Kamiya by any chance?"
"Yes, that's me. Is there a problem, mister?"
"You were seen spotted over at the Shinjuku Guard Rail yesterday, were you not?"
"Yes, but what business do you have to know of my location yesterday?"
"You were seen with a couple of boys with some dangerous digital life forms. If you have anything to do with them, you will be placed under observation as well. You might as well stop these little games. Consider this as your warning."
With that said, Yamaki goes walking off. Kari looks at him with a quirked eyebrow and a very uncomfortable look.
"What's his problem and why would he care of my whereabouts?"
Gatomon pops her head from out her backpack and then looks over at Yamaki, who was now walking a long distance away from them.
"What he really needs is some catnip."
"You said it," Kari replied, "But I just hope Takato and the kids aren't in the same situation as I am. This is getting a lot uglier than I thought."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Renamon was standing on a rooftop while looking out towards the skies above. Her eyes closed as if she were focusing on something but the only person that came to her mind was Rika.
"I won the fight earlier ago without Rika. But why do I still feel like being lost? Its as if something is missing. No doubt that would be Rika. Do I really need Rika to fulfill my destiny?"
***************************************************************************************
Yolei and Davis walked along the streets to continue their search for the recently bio-emerged digimon. Their digimon partners tried their best to pick up the digimon's scent.
"Anything yet, Hawkmon?"
"Veemon? What's up? Do you know something about this."
"It seems the scent stops here," Hawkmon confirmed.
"We've been going around in circles all day!" Yolei said. "I'm getting impatient."
"Calm yourself, Yolei. You don't want gray hairs," Davis said.
"What do you know? You basically give your wife gray hairs after every argument she's ever been with you."
"Well, now that you mention it…"
"Uh, this is hopeless. Where could that thing be?"
Cerberumon watched from the bushes as he had his eyes targeted for Veemon and Hawkmon.
"So, that Veemon brought along a friend. I guess I can go for seconds with that Hawkmon. Alright, time to end this game of hide and seek!"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Rika decided to walk back home in order to clear up her mind so to speak. As soon as she gets home, Rika's grandmother was standing at the front door with a worried look on her face.
"Well, you certainly are back late. Where have you been, Rika? Would you mind running out and get some potatoes, since I'm going to be needing them for a special recipe that I am making."
"Why?"
"Well because it wouldn't be potato soup with any potatoes. Don't you think so? Aren't you even hungry?"
"I hate potatoes and I do not want any food!"
Rika runs over to her room and shuts her door. She grabs her D-Ark and tosses it into the trashcan. She then walks over and lays her head on the table. Just then, Rika's grandmother opens the door and walks in.
"Rika, do you want to talk about this? You even barely speak to me and how am I supposed to know what you want. I'm trying to understand you, but you're always treating me as if I'm the enemy. I was once your age after all and if you would give me a chance, I might be able to help and figure out what's wrong."
"Just forget about it. You wouldn't understand."
"Well, jus remember one thing. No one can make it in this world on their own and people are meant to be together. You're expecting too much out of yourself."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Renamon sensed the location of a nearby digital field and rushes over to the scene where a nearby digimon will soon bio-emerge.
"I must now rely upon the power within me since I am alone in this world."
Back at Rika's house, the trashcan was starting to light up and a bright beam was coming from Rika's D-Ark all of a sudden. She raises her head and then looks over towards the glowing trashcan. But she quickly covers her ears and backs away.
Over at the battleground, Renamon and a digimon known as Harpymon were starting to attack one another. Renamon goes and throws in several rapid punches over at Harpymon, but she was able to maneuver away from each shot being thrown at her.
***************************************************************************************
Suddenly, Cerberumon leaped out from the bushes. This managed to startle Yolei and Davis, which brought Hawkmon and Veemon to shield them. The dare canine growled and opened his mouth unleashing a powerful green blast.
"Emerald Blaze!"
"Move you're tail, Davis! Just who this freak of nature?"
[Cerberumon. Demon Beast Digimon. Ultimate Level. Special Techniques: Emerald Blaze & Inferno Gate]
"Man, who let the dog out?! Veemon! Take him!"
"You too, Hawkmon! Digivolve!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Yolei and Davis' D-3s opened up, which unleashed their respective digimentals.
"Digimental up!"
"Veemon armor shinka! Flamedramon! The Fire of Courage!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka! Shurimon! The Samurai of Sincerity!"
Cerberumon charged out towards the two armors and attempted to claw slash both of them. Shurimon jumps up and throws out several ninja stars at the canine.
"Double Star!"
"Emerald Blaze!"
The fiery blast easily dispatched of the ninja stars. Flamedramon was next to fight fire with fire. The dragon flew forwards and shoots out a pair of fiery blasts.
"Fire Rocket!"
"Emerald Blaze!"
The attacks cancelled each other since they were both fire techniques. Flamedramon jumps over Cerberumon and gets into a stance.
"So, you fight fire with fire? Well, you won't defeat me easily! I'll destroy you and load you're data!"
"Fat chance, buddy! Flamedramon! Take this creep down!" Davis exclaimed.
"Right!"
Flamedramon and Cerberumon charged at one another. The two started slashing one another viciously. Each was able to trade blows with one another.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the park, Jeri was leaving Guilmon's house and she waves over towards the two.
"So, do you think she really likes me, Guilmon?"
But Guilmon just simply sneezes and the flower sticker comes flying off of his nose.
As soon as Jeri left, Henry and Terriermon came running by. Takato and Guilmon rushes over to them.
"Ugh, that Yamaki got away," Henry said while out of breath, "He sure is really sneaky. I think he knows way too much about us."
Suddenly, Guilmon sniffed the air and then growls under his breath. The irises in his eyes were tightening as if he were in picking up the location of a nearby digimon. Terriermon looked ahead towards the digital field.
"Its either a digimon or a train wreck," remarked Terriermon.
The two digimon headed off with their Tamers not too far behind them.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Rika's, the young girl was in a corner and covering her ears. She looks over and sees Calumon digging into her trashcan and pulls out her D-Ark.
"I wonder what this thing wants. I can't make heads or tails of it."
Rika rushes over and snatches the D-Ark out from his hands. She examines it before placing it back down onto the floor. She wanted nothing to do with it while Calumon observes that whatever it said didn't go as well. He watched as Rika was backing away from the D-Ark.
***************************************************************************************
"Flaming Fist!"
"Emerald Blaze!"
The two fire-producing digimon hopped away from one another. Cerberumon charges at Flamedramon once again and goes for a claw slash. The dragon flies up and attempts another in-air attack, but Cerberumon fazes up and delivers a claw slash to the armor warrior.
Flamedramon falls limp and de-evolves back to Veemon. Davis could only look on with utter shock.
"Time to end this! You're data is mine!"
"Davis! Do something!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Double Star!"
A double-edged ninja star came hitting Cerberumon from the side. Shurimon appears above the enemy and gives a signal to Davis.
"That's our cue. Thanks, Shurimon! Digivolve, Veemon!"
Davis's D-3 powered up. This allowed Veemon to digivolve straight into his champion-level form.
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
Xveemon came rushing over towards Cerberumon and pushes him against a wall. Both went breaking through the stonewall. Xveemon gets up from the debris and picks Cerberumon up.
"Alright! Now give it to him!" Davis cheered.
Xveemon nods and puts Cerberumon's head under his arm. Xveemon grabs Cerberumon by the waist and then hoists him up over his head. After that, Xveemon slams Cerberumon down with full force. It managed to knock the wind out of Cerberumon.
"Look at that, Yolei! I call that the Xvee-hammer!"
"Xvee-hammer?" Yolei muttered. "Please, smack me in the face."
"Quit, fooling around!" Shurimon stated. "We have to end this!"
"Right and I know one way to do that," Xveemon stated.
"I get you," Davis stated. "Time for some fusion evolution."
[Digimon Zero Two "Beat Hit!" plays]
Davis' D-3 glowed as Xveemon and Davis became flares of light. They merged with one another to begin the next evolution to ultimate.
"Fusion Shinka!"
In place of the two was a tall, bipedal warrior with Xveemon's legs and tail, an armored body, clawed limbs, and a helmet over his head. Cerberumon revived himself and faced off against his new opponent.
"Paildramon!"
"What?! He and that human fusion evolved?! What does this all mean?!"
"You'll find out soon enough," Paildramon spoke spontaneously.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Takato and Henry follow Guilmon into the digital field. They saw none other than Renamon fighting against some digimon.
[Deftones "Shove it" plays]
"Rika! Are you here?" Henry called out.
"I don't see her anywhere," replied Takato, "I don't think she's here."
Henry looks over his D-Ark and a hologram image of Harpymon appears with some information about him.
[Harpymon. Armored Phantom Beast. Special Attack: Wind Seeker]
Harpymon looks over towards both Guilmon and Terriermon and unleashes her Wind Seeker but they managed to maneuver away. Harpymon phases out in order to attack Guilmon head on but Renamon appears right in front of Guilmon and shields him from Harpymon's onslaught. Renamon takes Harpymon down with her Diamond Storm.
Just then, Rika and Calumon show up at the digital field, which catches the two Tamer boys by surprise.
"Rika! Al right! You came," exclaimed Henry.
"Renamon! Look who's here's! Its Rika," Takato calls out.
Renamon stops and then makes eye contact with Rika for the first time since the last time, which was after the defeat of Icedevimon. But she leaps forwards at Harpymon and nails her with a deadly combination of rapid fast kicks, which sends Harpymon flying down onto the ground.
"I knew that I had the power within me. Maybe I can defeat my enemies without Rika's help. It willed myself strength."
"Renamon was powerful without my help and she didn't need me,"Rika said to herself.
Takato and the others look over at Renamon, who was now standing still as if she were statue while standing over the fallen Harpymon.
"Aren't you going to finish Harpymon and load her data," exclaimed Henry.
"I could load the data of every opponent that I fight and take them apart one by one, but what's the point once its all over."
Just then, Harpymon manages to stir and revive herself. Then she takes advantage of the distracted Renamon by nailing her with a 'Wind Seeker', which sends Renamon flying back with tremendous force. The Tamers looked on in horror as Harpymon was now prepared to kill Renamon.
**************************************************************************************
"Emerald Blaze!"
"Desperado Blaster!"
Paildramon managed to take down Cerberumon with his point-blank shots. Paildramon powered up with a bright aura surrounding his body.
"Time to finish this!"
Paildramon flies out towards Cerberumon and brings forth his needle claws. Within seconds, Paildramon slashed through Cerberumon. Yolei and Shurimon looked on with surprise.
"He did it," Yolei said.
"He had to evolve straight to ultimate to end this battle."
"I wonder if that Cerberumon was stronger than some of the recent digimon we've encountered."
"I wouldn't be surprise. After all, these digimon have been absorbing data."
Cerberumon let out his final cries before dispersing into data. Paildramon stood before his defeated foe's data, but doesn't intend to absorb it.
"We've cleaned out the trash here. How did we do, Yolei?"
"Perfecto! You guys were great! Wow, Davis. You've managed to get out of you're recent slump. You took care of business."
"It doesn't seem that the battle is over just yet. There are many accolades, which will come very soon."
**************************************************************************************
Rika goes to grab her cards, but just remembered that she didn't bring them. She looks over towards the battlefield. Renamon was able to dodge every single of Harpymon's attacks but was losing momentum against the feathered demon. Rika notices a broken tree branch and then picks it up. She quickly runs up and stabs it right into Harpymon's back, who screamed out with bloody murder. Harpymon turns around to face Rika, but then her D-Ark started to glow, which would now allow Renamon to evolve.
[Digimon Tamers First Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
EVOLUTION! Her body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her new form, which would be her champion-leveled form.
"Renamon shinka!"
Now Renamon was Quadra pedal. There was a pair of nine tails were in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpine-like, but retained of her Renamon features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her new name.
"Kyuubimon!"
Harpymon screeches out and then goes flying right at Kyuubimon by going for another one of her Wind Seeker.
"Fox Tail Inferno!"
Kyuubimon used her fiery attacks to counter the Wind Seeker and watched as the fiery blasts nailed Harpymon and sent her flying back as she exploded into data. Kyuubimon let the data stream flow away and disintegrate, instead of loading it, which caught Rika by surprise.
"Why aren't you going to load her data?"
"Because I don't need it anymore."
"I don't understand."
"I don't need an opponent's data because I have you. You just saved my life. Why did you do it?"
"Well, someone had to do it. You saved my life once."
"And that's what partners do. We protect each other. Is that right?"
"Heh. Yeah, something like that. We'll watch each other's backs."
"Um, I don't get it," said Takato.
"Its obvious that they were worried about each other, but the problem is that they are too hard-headed to admit it and they'll go back playing silly games until they drop," replied Henry.
"I guess being honest with each other would be too hard," Takato said.
Davis, Yolei, Hawkmon and Veemon watched the entire scene. They were glad that Rika had managed to reconcile her differences with Renamon.
"Now that's pretty cool," said Yolei. "I'm happy to see that those two reconciled their differences."
"The power of friendship is strong. I think those two are getting the hang of it," Davis replied. "Though, it was tough."
"Experience is a bliss," Hawkmon stated.
A yew yards away, Yamaki watched the trio with a maniacal look on his face. His smirk turns into that of a frown and he made sure that he couldn't be seen.
Takato and Henry walk off with their digimon at their side as they returned home, leaving Rika and Kyuubimon to reconcile their differences.
"Can't they see the danger?! I cannot allow this obscenity to continue since there is simply too much at stake. I'm sorry kiddies, but playtime is over. Heh. Heh. Juggernaut Project is underway."
***************************************************************************************
The dark figure, who disappeared several days ago, had watched the two battles from a far. He channeled a telepathic message to the same unknown source.
"Master. I've spoken with the warriors. They confirmed to send their first disciple to defeat these insolent children."
"Excellent work. Now, we can watch as the fireworks begin. Those digimon who've bio-emerged into the real world were nothing more than amateurs. Now, the big boys are about to play."
"Yes, my lord. We'll soon come ever so closer to completing our goal. Let's see these children take the tiger by the tail. Ha. Ha. Ha."
What does this mysterious figure mean by sending in the big boys? What is about to be unleashed upon the earth? Just what is Yamaki really planning for the Tamers and will they be prepared for what Yamaki and Hypnos have in store for them? What is this Juggernaut Project?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Juggernaut Unleash! Matrix Evolution: War Growlmon's Rise!
It was late at night and there was a digimon battle occurring within an abandoned building. Takato stood at one corner while watching Guilmon going face to face with what looked like a DarkLizamon. In fact, it was a DarkLizamon, who had just bio-emerged.
"Alright, Guilmon! We got him on the run now!"
The goggle boy pulls out a card out of his pocket and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Metal Garurumon's Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
The crimson-colored dinosaur opens his mouth and unleashes a stream of ice over at DarkLizamon, which caused the dark digimon to scream out in bloody pain. Guilmon finishes the job and looks over to see DarkLizamon falling down onto its knees while trying to regain its strength.
"That DarkLizamon was one tough cookie but we did it!"
"Did you just say cookie, Takatomon?"
"Geez, now you're starting to talk about food at a time like this."
Just then, a bright light engulfs the two as they were quickly blinded momentarily. Takato looks out from above and then hears the loud spinning of helicopter propellers. In fact, it was from a helicopter. He watched as it landed and looked over to the source of the light itself. The helicopter confirms their target and the Strike Team comes running in to initiate the retrieval sequence.
"Takatomon, should we fight them?"
"I don't know. But I say we get the heck out of here before they find out."
Suddenly, a voice started crying out which caught the boy's attention. Takato turns around to see none other than DarkLizamon rising up inside a cloud of debris.
"No! Please, stay! You have to make my stronger, so I can digivolve," exclaimed DarkLizamon.
As soon as the fiery monster started to approach Takato, two smoke bombs come out of nowhere and explode on the ground surrounding DarkLizamon. The monster was quickly knocked completely out from the smoke itself. As soon as the smoke started to clear away, Takato looks out to find Guilmon and coughs through the smoke.
"Guilmon! Are you ok? Guilmon, can you hear me? Is that you, Guilmon?"
"Well, aren't you going to you thank me," a voice called out from within the smoke.
Takato spins around and then peers through to see a recognizable figure, who was wearing a black suit and pair of shades on. It was none other than Yamaki. Takato could easily remember him from a couple of days ago.
"After all, I did save your life. You know that really deserves something. Besides, this is dangerous work."
"Who are you?"
"I'll be the one who asks the questions. Who do you think you are for attacking digimon on your own? You think this is some kind of game? These are lethal creatures who should be contained. And for your own safety, I should just take your little, red friend there."
Takato gasps and stands right in front of Guilmon with his arms out stretched while shielding him.
"You leave Guilmon alone! He's nothing like DarkLizamon!"
"Ha. You're so young and naive."
"Who you calling naive?!"
Just then, DarkLizamon starts to stir and begins to make some growling noises, which surprised Takato the most.
"She's… She's still alive!"
"And she's dangerous. Maybe I should take your little friend. He may become dangerous as well."
"You'll have to go through me first!"
"Eh. He's probably more trouble than he's ever worth.
Yamaki goes and walks off towards the helicopter but then speaks up in order to get his warning straightened out.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, little boy."
Takato and Guilmon look on as Yamaki hops aboard the helicopter and a grappling hook snatching up the immobilized DarkLizamon, which they plan to send back to Hypnos headquarters with their mission being complete.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere at Yolei's apartment home, she had gathered a small meeting with Davis and Ken. They were going to discuss the events that have been occurring in Shinjuku for the past few weeks.
"Why exactly did you me over for?" Davis asked. "I was just trying to get some well deserved sleep. You don't realize how much crap I've been through."
"Quit complaining, Davis. I've called you here because we really need to talk about this digimon invasions we've been having recently. It's getting out of control."
"Not to mention that we're pretty beat," Hawkmon added.
"So, what do we know about these digimon?" Wormmon asked.
"For one thing, these digimon destroy their prey and feed off of their data to get stronger. This a feat which is very new to us," Ken added. "Some of those digimon happened to be ones we've run into in the digital world."
"You want a good example? That Devidramon we fought about a week ago," Yolei said. "Halsemon and Stingmon had trouble against him. Normally, we would have taken a normal Devidramon. This one was prepared for us. He uploaded data to get stronger."
"Are we able to get stronger by uploading data?" Veemon asked. "I could use some of that to boost my energy."
"I don't think it's right to steal another digimon's data. Besides, we should stick to our basics," Davis stated. "The Tamers have their way of defeating the enemy, but we have our own. Our digimon get stronger by every battle they fight. They don't need data to get stronger."
"For example, I was told that this Rika girl forces her partner to upload the data of every opponent she demolishes."
"Yeah. I was there to witness a battle," Davis said. "Just when Flamedramon was about to finish those Vilemon, Renamon comes and kills them."
"Then, we ran into Cerberumon the other night," Yolei continued on. "He was the toughest we've had to deal with."
"That alone forced Veemon and I to execute our fusion evolution. Paildramon got the job done. That was our last resort. We didn't feel the need to fusion evolve, because we didn't want to cause devastation to the city."
"Davis, brings up an interesting. It's no wonder Kari was never forced to fusion evolve with Gatomon. Because she knows that Celesta X's power would cause destruction not just to the enemy, but to our surroundings. We can't risk looking out for the well being of other people," Ken added.
"On the other hand, if we would have fusion evolve with our digimon, we would have finished these invaders rapidly," Wormmon stated. "But, you have a point. We can't risk looking out innocent bystanders."
"Plus, we've seen the destruction the fusion evolutions can create. We were only lucky to control our tremendous power as Paildramon," Davis replied.
"Remember guys. We have to keep our digimon's powers in check. We can't fusion evolve, unless for extreme emergency," Yolei said.
"Right!"
"Something tells me we have to keep an eye out for those heavy fogs," Davis thought.
"What's this uneasy feeling? I've been like this all night. Is there something coming which is something we are not expecting? This looks bad," Veemon said in thought.
**************************************************************************************
Later that night, Takato was standing outside of Guilmon's home, while watching his digimon friend making up his bed out of the dirt from the ground.
"You did great tonight, Guilmon. I'm proud of you boy."
"I'm getting better. And if I keep winning, I will get stronger and I will digivolve again just like you wanted me to. Oh, I want to digivolve again!"
Just then, Takato looks on and then looks back to when Guilmon first evolved into Growlmon. He remembers how 'big and scary' Growlmon used to be and was now afraid that his own digimon might turn on him. He was afraid that Guilmon would no longer be friend after evolving.
"No! I don't want you to! I don't want anymore fights."
"But no more fights means no more data. Then how will I get stronger and how will I digivolve?"
"No! I don't want you to! You'll change!"
With that said, Takato goes running out leaving Guilmon sitting and wondering why his own partner will not allow him to digivolve. Guilmon was hoping that Takato didn't end up like Henry.
"What did I do wrong, Takato? Was it something I said?"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, just a mile away from the park, the building of Hypnos seemed desolate but the activity inside was busy as ever.
[Hypnos theme plays]
Riley and Talley were busy as ever looking over the safety grid in search of anymore Wild Ones about to bio-emerge. So far, there was nothing yet and everything remained calm. Suddenly, a calculation was starting to show up on the grid.
"Hmm. Something had just appeared on my radar," Riley said.
"And I thought we were going to have a quiet night," Talley replied.
"It looks like a Wild One but I can't be sure since the signal is almost unreadable."
"It might be a glitch in the program," Talley suggested, "Those engineers are so unreliable. The tracer is acting so erratic. Instead of going to those karaoke parties, those engineers should be checking the equipment like they should and make us work our asses now. And it looks like the tracer is coming down from underneath us."
Just then, Calumon goes hopping along at the bottom of the room with a confused look on his face.
"Culu! Culu! Culu!"
Talley looks right down over at Calumon with a look of bewilderment. Calumon looks right up at her and his ears flutter open. His eyes start to sparkle and Talley starts to adore his look with a red blush coming over her face.
"Aww, how cute."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within Hypnos, Yamaki was walking inside of a large, secret laboratory where he and his assistants experiment on the digital life forms that bio-emerge in the real world. They test and study them to get a better understanding of them and this is where they run to test their latest experiment, the Juggernaut program.
"Those clueless Tamers and their digimon are so oblivious to what I'm cooking in my laboratory. Although, they will find out soon enough and they will be surprised," Yamaki said in thought.
***************************************************************************************
Talley looks under several counters to search for Calumon.
"I saw it. It was down here. I wasn't seeing things."
"It was probably that leftover enchilada that you had earlier. It's making you seeing things."
"But it was talking, skipping and singing."
"But I'm telling you, it was your lunch. That serves you right for eating four-day-old food."
"Maybe you're right."
**************************************************************************************
Yamaki walks over towards the experiment container and looks over at DarkLizamon, who was floating within the container with numerous of co-workers and biologists standing around the experiment. The digimon was crying out for it to be released and literally begged for them to do so.
"Where am I?! Please, let me out of here! I beg of you! I don't want to go back!"
Just then, one of Yamaki's assistants come walking up to him in order to inform him on the progress of the experiment.
"Sir, we're ready to initiate the data scan but the creature may not survive."
"And you're telling this as if I should care. This thing is not made of up flesh and blood."
"But it's a living creature.
"A worm is more of a living creature than this thing! It's nothing more than a packet of data. It's a computer code. Zeroes and ones that is. Their ability to appear in the real world is nothing more than a fluke but their monstrous friend is not without its use. We can analyze its data and we can now learn how digimon were created and how they can be destroyed. Initiate the scan and I want it at full power."
The assistant nods in agreement and walks over to the control panel and pressed a button as the scan was beginning to initiate. DarkLizamon began screaming in bloody murder within the container and her body was starting to ripple into tiny bits of data.
"Please! You have to release me from this imprisonment! Don't do this!"
"Sir, the particles are dissipating."
"Do not stop until we have all of the data! We are only steps from achieving our ultimate goal."
The screams of the monster disappeared and tons of data was now dispersing within the container.
"Sir, the creature is gone but the data isn't. Should I save it?"
"What's the point? We have all the information that we need from the scanning procedure. Eliminate anything that is left."
With that said, the last of DarkLizamon's data was quickly being erased and the container was soon deactivated until another day.
"You will have to get used to it," Yamaki replied, "We'll scan as many as we have to. Until they are all gone."
**************************************************************************************
The very next day, the customers at the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena were getting packed as usual. It seems this new fad was beginning to have a large gathering. Duke Devilin is sure to gain a lot of profit from every merchandise sold and every duelist looking forward to the tournaments.
Henry walked by and noticed the large crowd of people. There was Dice Monster sets being sold.
"Hmmm. Is this another fad in town? First digimon, then duel monsters and now this?"
"Hey, Henry!"
Henry turned around to see Takato running up towards him. The goggle boy was sweating after a long run from the bakery.
"Hey, Takato. Did you check this place out yet?"
"That's the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena, which Kazu has been telling me about. That Duke Devilin is sure to gain some profit."
"Yeah, but Dice Monsters looks way too complicating."
"Kazu actually wants to try it out. He's already good with digimon cards and he's starting duel monsters. He really wants to duel Duke at his own game."
"Well, I'd pay to see that. There's no way he can beat Duke."
"By the way, where you heading off to?"
"Home. I've got to go and pick Terriermon up. I bet my sister is giving him another treatment of her chamber of horrors."
"Ha. No kidding. Well, I'll catch you later, Henry. See ya."
"Take it easy."
Takato walks off to find Kazu and Kenta. Henry turns around to start his walk back to his home. Obviously, Henry has nothing on his mind and decides to take it easy for the rest of the day.
Over at the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena, there was a near pint-sized lady with spiky, pink hair. She was wearing a blouse and a pair of pants. She examines the boxes of the Dice Monster sets.
"Meh. I can create games much more complicating than this," she stated.
"Mrs. Washu!" a woman's voice was calling.
Another woman came rushing over to Washu. This lady has purple hair and wore a brilliant, Japanese kimono dress.
"Just what are these?"
"They're the latest fad games around, Ayeka" Washu replied. "Don't you agree that I can create more complicating games than this? I can't understand how anyone can think these are challenging."
"Well, not everyone is a genius like you, Mrs. Washu," Ayeka replied
"I'm one of a kind. I'm not the greatest scientific genius in the universe for nothing!"
"She loves being so full of it, doesn't she?" Ayeka thought.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kari was sitting in her dining room table where Izzy was sitting at one side while examining the Gatomon card that Takato had given to her. Izzy places the card down and looks over at Kari.
"I don't know what to make of it. Since when did they make digimon cards, Izzy," Kari asked, "I never knew about them. Plus how do they even know about Gatomon? I thought our digimon were a secret only to us."
"Its apparent that we may have a situation in our hands. There's somebody out there that knows about us and I'm going to get to the bottom of it."
"Um, earth to Izzy," Tentomon remarked, "Why don't you just scan it right through your computer?"
"I've tried that and it comes up with a bunch of code names. But I think I will translate it. Kari, would you mind if I borrowed this card for a while. Then, once I get the codes all translated, I will let you know."
"Thanks, Izzy. You were always the smart one of the team. By the way, how has Tai been?"
"He's doing fine. He misses you a lot and hopes you can stop by his house sometime."
"So, what's up? Are he and Sora going out? The last time I checked, they were coaching a soccer team together."
"They're still dating. But I think Tai really sees her more than as a friend."
"Really? Well that's good to know. I'll call him later on today."
"Alright. Looks like my job here is finished. You just call me anytime and I really would like to meet these Tamers sometime."
"Oh, you will like them. Well at least Takato and Henry that is. I don't know about Rika."
"After hearing everything from your side of the story, I wouldn't go near Rika either. Well, I'll be in town for a couple of days. So you know that I will be over at the nearby West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel."
"I'll call you. Thanks, Izzy."
The young woman opens the door for Izzy and Tentomon. As soon as they go walking out, she waves over to them.
"New Tamers? Wow, I can't wait to meet these new kids that Kari was telling us about," said Tentomon, "But that Rika girl is sure bad news!"
"Uh huh. But we got work to do. This card is really puzzling me. How could somebody create a Gatomon card? I mean there has to be somebody out there that knows a whole lot about us."
"Maybe, you can investigate and I'll search for these Tamers myself."
"And get yourself exposed to the public? No way, Tento!"
"Well, you know. You're right. They might get freaked if they see a flying, talking beetle."
"Not to mention one with a chatter box inside of him."
"Are you saying that I talk too much?"
"But, you just talk to fast. Even I can barely understand you sometimes."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Ken was walking by through the busy streets of West Shinjuku with Wormmon at his side. The little insect was pulling off another one of his 'doll modes', which made him unnoticeable among the public.
"Its a good thing to know that these people haven't noticed Wormmon yet after all of those digimon attacks. But I don't understand. How are digimon instantly able to enter the real world? I thought Azulongmon and the other three guardians were able to seal away all dimensional doorways into and out of the Digital World. There's something fishy going around here and I want to get to the bottom of."
"Hey, Ken? Can I stop putting on the doll act? Because there's no people around where we are."
"Alright, but just stay on my side, ok?"
"Alright. So, anything yet on this big mystery?"
"None whatsoever buddy. Wormmon, when you were battling Devidramon, did you notice something a little different about monster?"
"Hmmm, as a matter of fact, I did. It was abnormally stronger than any Devidramon in the past. Plus it was able to take Halsemon and I out. Usually, I would be able to take one down as Stingmon. But that time around, the tide turned against me in a way."
"Really? It was abnormally stronger? Hmm, then that must mean that the Devidramon that came here probably wasn't from the Digital World. It could have been brought from some sort of other mysterious dimension."
"You think so? It was still a digimon. Digimon only come from the Digital World. I don't think there are anymore other Digital Worlds."
"This is getting more complicated than I first thought. If only I were still a genius, then I would have easily gotten to the bottom of this. But now, nothing."
"Don't worry. I can assure you. We will find out what is really going on around here."
"Right. I know you always support my decisions, Wormmon. But I think we better be heading back to Kari's. Lunch must be ready by now."
"Goody. I hope she made more of those 'California rolls' I love so much."
"Don't you mean, sushi?"
"Same thing."
"That's good to me. Lets go."
As Ken walked by, a young man came walking by wearing a white jacket and black pants. He has brown hair with strands covering his face. His eyes were blue as ice. He had a small pack around his waist with a pair of cards. They were duel monster cards and there was one that stood out amongst the rest of them. It had an emblem of as ice dragon with blue eyes. Yes, this is the rare card known as the Blue Eyes White Dragon. The young man was none other than Seto Kaiba, the proud owner of Kaiba Corporation.
"Soon, Battle City will be underway. With all of these reports of monsters, I was told to delay the tournament for the next month. I'm not about to let some garbage push my plans back. The tournament will go as scheduled. I will soon defeat Yugi, take the other two Egyptian God cards and reclaim my sport as the number one duelist. It's only a matter of time."
**************************************************************************************
Later that day and over at the playground in the school, Kazu and Kenta were talking to one another about perhaps digimon. But then their enthusiastic looks on their faces faded away once Takato came walking by.
"Hey guys."
"Oh hi," Kazu replied.
"Uh, yeah. Hi," said Kenta.
"I just went over and saw the new Dungeon Dice Monsters stadium. It was neat! I still have to go inside to check it out though."
"Wow, that's pretty cool. Isn't it just neat?"
"Sure is…"
Despite the talk of the new Dungeon Dice Monsters, they didn't seem very social at the very moment. They were clear whether to not to even talk to Takato even after all of that 'real digimon' nonsense that Kazu claimed to hear from Takato. Jeri goes walking up to them with a cheerful look on her face.
"Hi, guys! So what are you doing today? Talking about digimon," asked Jeri.
"No, digimon is for kids," said Kenta.
"Yeah. Its all pretend," replied Kazu.
"But Guilmon is… is real," Takato said.
"You're not scaring anyone with that oversized stuffed dinosaur of yours," Kazu pointed out.
"But Guilmon was real," Jeri said under her breath, "He's not fake…"
"Ugh, who cares? We're just not into digimon anymore. Its lame," said Kenta.
"Let us put it this way so that you can understand, chumley. It sucks and I'm going to retire from being the king of digimon card battles."
"Well, you don't have to dump it," Takato added on, "If you don't like it, then don't play it."
"What's wrong with them?" Jeri wondered, "Boys always fight when there's something not to even fight about."
"Yo, Kenta. Lets blow this joint! Lets leave Takato behind with his kiddy games," Kazu said as he runs off home.
"Hey! Wait up!" Kenta cried out as he soon followed.
"But its not a game," Takato said as he stood there with a sad look on his face.
"Takato, is there something wrong?" asked Jeri, "You look so sad."
"No. Nothing at all, Jeri," Takato replied while shaking his head.
Jeri quickly pulls out her sock puppet and then begins to speak through her puppet.
"Ruff! So, are we going to go and play with Guilmon today?"
"Jeri! I'm not playing around!"
Jeri was quickly caught off guard by Takato's angry tone of voice. The goggle boy stood there with a shocked look on his face and then turns away from the girl.
"Sorry, Jeri. I have to go."
With that said, Takato goes running off elsewhere while Jeri looks on with a deeply concerned look on her face. She thought if it was something that she had said.

A local university was teeming with students seeking opportunities to find their majors. Among all of these students, there was one who was trying his very best. He was studying through the next seven years to become a doctor.
"Hey! Joe! Are you coming to our study group this Thursday?" a student called out.
"Yeah. I'll be there!"
"Cool. We'll see you there!"
Joe sighed in relief after dealing with two morning classes and an afternoon seminar. He walks out of the university grounds and sits on a porch. Gomamon pokes his head out to catch his breath.
"Hey, what's the matter, Joe?"
"It's just been rough. Did I make the right choice to become a major in the medical department?"
"Well, you did say that you wanted to help cure the sick. It's your dream, Joe."
"Well, it's what my dad wanted."
"Don't give up, Joe. I know you can do it. C'mon, don't look so down. I'll start throwing out some wise cracks."
"I could use one of you're wise cracks right about now."
"Ok. Let me think of one. Ha! I got one! What did one Shellmon say to another Shellmon?"
"What?"
"Shellfish!"
Joe managed to crack a smile and chuckled to himself. Gomamon was very pleased to know that his wise cracks were still clever as ever.
"Yes! I still got it! Just don't forget not to give up. I know you can do it, Joe. Put your mind into something and it will be just fine."
"Thanks for the advice, buddy. So, you up for some Chinese?"
"You've read my mind. Eggrolls are calling out my name."
Just as Joe was sitting up to grab his bag, Gomamon peered over towards the Hypnos building. The clever sea mammal was receiving bad vibes from the twin tower building.
"I'm getting a bad feeling from that building. What is it? I wonder what they do in there?"
**************************************************************************************
Yamaki looks out from his office window with a sheer look on his face. He opened up his lighter and then closes it right up. All those digimon that he considers 'nuisances' would soon be dealt with and he would be the one that single-handedly takes them all out and wipes them from existence.
"With these recent incidents occurring, Hypnos is the really reason there hasn't been any media leaks in the first place. The so-called artificial-life program had to be shut down and digimon was able to live on as a mere child's game. But somehow these pests have survived and even developed the ability to synthesize proteins to take form in the real world. These digimon have unlimited powers of destruction and indefinite life spans. They are nothing more than a damn threat to human society. But now, I have the solution to completely eliminate them all in both worlds. I will use the digimon's own data against them and there is no need for hesitation, they are not even living, breathing creatures after all. They're just faulty programs, which should have never been created in the first place. I could save the lives of many of the innocence. This advanced plan is what I like to call the Juggernaut program. Even though there is a thin boundary between the two worlds, the Juggernaut will only cause some come complications online but hang ups on the net happen everyday so nobody will even notice. I shall test and see how it runs. It should be able to work. No, there will be no excuses. This will work and it's the final plan to destroy all digital life as we know it."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the park, Guilmon and Takato were talking to one another about the whole ordeal the other night.
"So, you're still not mad at me, Takato?"
"I'm not mad at you. I'm just worried about you. When you first digivolved, you scared the pants right off of me. The way you looked, plus your eyes."
"But it was just me."
"But you barely even knew who I really was, Guilmon. Well, didn't you?"
Guilmon looked at him with a look on complexion. Takato goes on and explains even further.
"What if you like quantum evolved and totally forgot about me or who you used to be?"
"No matter how much I will change, I will always still be me."
"Guilmon. You're totally amazing. It seems just like yesterday that you were thinking and talking like a baby. But now you see things so clearly, maybe even better than I do sometimes."
"I get that all from you."
"I wish that I could change too," Takato said, "I'm sorry for acting all weird towards you."
"But you were only just worried about me."
"Well, I should have know that while you looked like a huge, monster like Growlmon on the outside, you are still the same bread-munching goof on the inside."
"So, are we friends forever, Takatomon?"
"Friends forever."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back at Hypnos, Talley looked over to Riley as if she were going to ask her questions concerning this new 'project' that Yamaki was planning to use.
"So, what do you think that this new mechanism is?"
"Well, all I got to say is that whatever it is, its not going to be pretty."
"We sure didn't get any authorization for it either."
"Well, Yamaki does what he wants. He's the boss man around here. Don't ask so many questions anyway. Besides all of his projects always means bad news for somebody."
"Lets just see if you are right about that one."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Rika was sitting down alongside the front porch of her home while talking to her partner, Renamon.
"Renamon. Ever since you beat Harpymon, you didn't load her data. That was the first time that I ever see you do that. So, why did you do it?"
"I didn't need to."
"Then, how will you digivolve?"
"I think that digimon with human partners don't need to absorb data as something special about our relationship with our Tamers makes us digivolve."
"And I guess we're like that," Rika replied, "I don't even remember what I was so angry about and I don't even feel like poking fun at those two boys' silly digimon."
"That is weird," Renamon said in agreement.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, just as Mr. Wong was about to open the door to his apartment home, a mysterious man comes walking up to him which catches Mr. Wong off guard.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested in buying anything today."
"Mr. Wong. Just think of me as a ghost from your past, when you and your friends thought you could do anything like creating digital life forms on the net. They are out of control now and someone has to pay the price."
"Just tell me what you want."
"I want you to help me find one of your old playmates, one who refuses to grow up and is working on the project right now."
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You better not lie to me."
"I don't know! Just, who are you?!"
But as soon as he turned around and snapped angrily, he saw none other than Henry looking at him with a shocked look on his face. Mr. Wong sighed a relief and Henry had a questionable look on his face.
"Hey dad? Is everything al right? Is there something wrong? Whom were you yelling at?"
But just before his dad could even answer, the front door opens and Suzie is standing with a huge smile on her face. She then holds out Terriermon in his 'Ms. Pretty Pants' get-up.
"Hi daddy! Say hewwo to Princess Pretty Pants!"
Terriermon looks over at Henry with a tear coming down his eye and the boy looked at him with bewilderment.
***************************************************************************************
Calumon looks towards the Hypnos buildings from a horizon and did not exactly give it a very friendly look. He felt quite uncomfortable being around the twin tower buildings.
"I don't like being near that building, or even being inside of it. There was just something about it that was not nice."
Suddenly, Impmon goes sticking ups face right in front of Calumon, which catches the little digimon off guard and causing him to fly back onto the ground. Impmon looks down over at Calumon with a cool and calculated look on his face.
"Aww, what's the matter? Did I just scare the adorable little Calumon off like a 'fraidy cat?! You're not so tough once you fall down like a sack of potatoes!"
"No wonder you're such a big meanie! Its no wonder that you don't have any friends!"
"Eh, what good are friends for? All you do is act all cute and friendly, and what has that really done for ya?"
"Impmon, is there anybody that you really like?"
"Nah! You all pretty much make me sick. What a young digimon needs is not friends but some good advice. And it's your lucky day because I'm in a sharing kind of a mood. Life is all about survival of the fittest when the best and the brightest, that's me, wipes the floor with the meek and the weak, that would be you. So once I blast you into kingdom come and absorb your data like I'm planning to do now. Don't take it personally, its just nature taking its course."
Impmon looks down at Calumon with a huge grin on his face, which caused the little white digimon to shake under his feet nervously.
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, the Operation Juggernaut was soon beginning to initiate and the people were now getting an abnormal reading from their radars.
"I'm picking up a rather large abnormal reading," exclaimed Riley, "Sir, is this apart of the project that we are experimenting."
"There's nothing to be concerned about. We're just giving it a test run. We're using the data from the digital life forms we've captured and we constructed a digimon composite to act as bait. So instead of hunting for them, they will come to us."
"That's brilliant, sir."
"Well that was just your very first accurate observation."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Guilmon's house, Takato was discussing more of the whole digivolution idea to Guilmon, but it seemed Guilmon was sort of distracted at the very moment.
"Now that we're back on track, I have all these attacks I want to try on you and maybe we could use some sort of a team name."
Just then, the ground started to shake and Takato loses his balance and falls onto the ground. A huge rumble was taking place.
"Was that some kind of earthquake?"
"Its coming…" Guilmon thought to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Henry and his family are starting to have dinner. As soon as they all sat around their chairs and took their places, Henry spoke up and asked his father a question.
"Dad, I want to know about that digimon project that you used to work on."
"Lets talk about that one later. Okay, Henry?"
"Oh ok. Alright then."
Just then, Henry hears a cry and a loud rumble. He goes running back towards his room to see Terriermon floating around and acting strangely.
"Henry! It's got me like a magnet! I can't resist it!"
"What is happening to you?!"
***************************************************************************************
"Juggernaut has now been activated," an operator calls out.
With that said, a huge beam of light goes shooting up into the air and several reactions were now occurring, such as a hole starting to form within the sky lines above. The boundary between the two worlds has now been opened.
"The data stream has now been dispatched and the projected response is immediate," an operator informed Yamaki via radio communicator.
Yamaki looks across the skylines and the huge gap that was forming from the Juggernaut itself.
"Heh. Heh. Those digimon won't know what hit them. Now I challenge those kiddies to deal with it," Yamaki said under his breath.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a young man was walking by with what seemed to be a blue-dragon like digimon at his side. The digimon felt the presence of incoming power and stopped in his tracks.
"Veemon? What's wrong?"
"Davish, I can feel the presence of an incoming digimon. And it's not very pretty."
"Oh man. Just when we got here, trouble decides to show its ugly face!"
**************************************************************************************
Yugi and Joey were walking down a street. They suddenly stopped. Yugi looked up and noticed what looked like a wormhole in the sky.
"What the heck is that?"
"Whoa! That's a large hole in the sky?! Is it the end of the world?!" Joey exclaimed.
Suddenly, Yugi was receiving another message from the spirit of his puzzle. He turned and saw an image of Yami.
"Yugi. I'm sensing a great power about to arrive in this realm."
"What is it? Is is that mad man that wants to take the Millennium Puzzle? Is he planning an assault?"
"No, it is far greater. We must be on alert, Yugi."
"Right!"
**************************************************************************************
Hawkmon and Wormmon were also feeling the presence of the great power that was soon going to arrive. And this one was something that they have never faced before.
"Wormmon? What's up?" asked Ken.
"Hawkmon?"
"Trouble is coming. I can feel it," replied Hawkmon.
"Ditto here. And its bigger than we though," Wormmon said.
Soon, Patamon and Gatomon felt the presence and they were growling under their breath. Kari and TK take notice of this and were now starting to worry more than ever.
"Just what kind of powerful force are they talking about," Kari asked herself.
"Kari! We might have to fight this thing before it gets out of control," Gatomon said.
"I agree! TK, we have to do this!" exclaimed Patamon.
"What are they talking about? I can't even pick up any kind of reading from my D-3,"TK said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Gomamon hops out from Joe's bag and looks up towards the skies with a menacing look.
"Gomamon?"
"There's a great power coming. I can feel it."
"A great power?"
*************************************************************************************
Takato and Guilmon look over at the Hypnos building and the Juggernaut program that was creating a large hole within the skylines.
"What is that?! Some sort of government project?"
"Takato! I can sense it!"
"Sense what?"
"A digimon is coming and it's really big!"
Takato gasps and then looks out to the skies with a bewildered look on his face.
***************************************************************************************
Seto Kaiba noticed the wormhole growing larger in size. He pulls his cell phone out.
"Seto Kaiba here. Pick me up at the Shinjuku Bridge. We have some planning out to do."
"Yes, sir."
Kaiba noticed his cell phone going off with static interrupting.
"Just what is this? Is that building really planning on another experiment?"
**************************************************************************************
The skylines were now beginning to glow with a neon green color after the mighty Juggernaut program was unleashed. Yamaki could only look on with a smirk on his face.
"Soon, all digital life will die! The only place that they should be quite useful is hell itself, where they can rot there."
A large crowd was starting to form as they gazed up into the sky and pointed out to the source of the green light, the Juggernaut being unleashed from the Hypnos building. They could only guess that it was some sort of top-secret government project.
As the people were too busy gazing up into the sky, Calumon was running alongside their feet as he tried to get away from Impmon, who chased the little white digimon. He was planning on taking out Calumon and loading up his data to make himself stronger.
"What do you want from me, Impmon?! This is no fun at all!"
"Aw, c'mon! Be a sport! All I want is your data!"
Then they also turned their attention over to the sky as the other people were. They looked on with awe expressions on their faces.
"Miss Washu? What is happening?" Ayeka asked.
"A wormhole. Looks like they're planning on cleaning up some garbage in this dimension. I didn't know there were people with such technology. Feh, amateurs. They ought to let me show them how it's done."
"You're getting way over you're head, little Washu."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Terriermon was pawing right towards the window and his eyes were locked onto the Hypnos building itself. Henry looked over at his digimon to see to what he was looking over to.
"Terriermon, are you alright?"
**************************************************************************************
"Veemon! Time to armor evolve! Digimental up!"
Davis' D-3 released the digimental of friendship, which allowed Veemon to undergo his armor evolution.
"Veemon armor shinka! Lighdramon! The Storm of Friendship!"
With that said, Davis hopped onto Lighdramon. The armor digimon sprinted across the streets and avoided any contact with the wormhole. They had to avoid at all costs or else they would get sucked in as well.
**************************************************************************************
Rika was running through the crowd and then gazes right over towards where the source of the Juggernaut was coming from, Hypnos. And following her was Renamon, who was looking on from a nearby overpass.
[Final Fantasy 10 "Opening-Bombing Mission" plays]
Takato was soon running towards the center of West Shinjuku and towards the Hypnos area. Guilmon was soon following right close behind him. The young goggle looked up towards the skylines.
"It looks like the sky is on fire!"
Yamaki quickly removes his sunglasses, looks up at the skylines from above and a smile comes across the man's calculated face.
"Goodbye, beasts of mayhem! This world will soon be free of this hideous pestilence forever!"
Just then, he turns around to see none other than Takato and Guilmon stopping to face him. They then begin to look up to see numerous of wild digimon being sucked away into the vortex. Among those digimon were Tuskmon, Raremon, Golemon, Kuwagumon, and even several Tyrannomon.
"This doesn't look good, boy," said Takato.
"Takato! I'm starting to feel weird!"
"Why is this happening," Takato asked Yamaki with anger in the tone of his voice.
"There was no other choice," replied Yamaki, "All I can say is that we are controlling an infestation! All damn vermin must go!"
"You just can't destroy all the digimon! Besides Guilmon is my best friend!"
"You are so naive. This 'friend' here isn't capable of 'friendship' as it is nothing more than a dangerous artificial life form."
"That's no true! Digimon are… Well. They're cool! That's what! Guilmon is my best friend and lots of them are friendly!"
"Takato! It's coming! I can feel its presence," replied Guilmon.
As soon as Yamaki goes walking off, his communicator went off and he had just received from Riley. He answers.
"Sir! There is an anomaly has infiltrated the Juggernaut and is coming through the vortex," Riley reported.
"But that's impossible," exclaimed Yamaki, "This program was flawless! I designed it myself! I can't believe that this is happening!"
As soon as that happened, Hypnos quickly had sent out a report over to Yamaki through his communicator.
"Warning! There is now a vortex breach that will soon be imminent!"
Just then, a loud voice was heard from the skies above and was heard throughout the city of West Shinjuku. Yamaki growled when he heard the voice.
"You pathetic humans created us! But now we're free and now it is our time to claim their place in the real world. Humans will only serve one purpose, to serve the digimon!"
"Never! You're wrong! Just, who are you? What do you want?"
"I'm only a representative of those who are to be our masters!"
"No! I can't let you do this," Yamaki exclaimed, "I will never be a servant to any of you data scum!"
"It is because of you that this is happening! You have opened the portal into the real world for all of us to enter."
A digital field was enveloping the Hypnos building. Takato could only look on and perhaps foretell what could happen at any moment.
"If our worlds overlap, we could all be destroyed! There just has to be a way to close a plug into that gap between the two worlds,"Takato said to himself.
Just then, Takato turns around and sees Yamaki starting to berate himself for being foolish. He watched as the man was pounding his fist onto the ground out of sheer anger.
"Grr! I never should have allowed children to interact with digimon!"
Takato turns away and then looks over towards the digital field. He ran over towards it and Guilmon goes to follow his human partner.
[Creed "What If" plays]
Yamaki comes walking away and then finds himself within the park. Just then, Henry goes walking by with Terriermon on his head. Yamaki turns around to face the blue-haired boy.
"Its you!"
"Yeah, what about me?" asked Henry.
Yamaki quickly snatches Henry by his collar and then picks him up over his head. Henry starts to struggle to break free.
"Its all your fault, boy!"
Terriermon quickly gets into defensive mode and then an angry look comes across his face, showing no fear towards Yamaki.
"You leave him alone!"
"Ugh, your not worth it," Yamaki muttered.
Yamaki quickly releases and places Henry back down onto the ground. Henry watches as Yamaki walks away. Rika and Renamon come walking by to see what was going on.
"Yo, who's the thug," asked Rika.
"He's trouble," replied Henry.
"You are all nothing but digimon loving freaks! Look what you have done!"
As soon as Yamaki disappeared out of sight, Henry turns his attention back over towards Rika and nodded his head.
"So are you ready?"
"Mmhmm. Lets go."
The two Tamers headed over towards the digital field, where they would meet up with Takato. They now realize that they would be facing an enemy like no other.
As soon as they got there, they could see Guilmon and Takato looking up at the very top of the Hypnos buildings. Renamon rushes past them and then starts to fly up in order to make it towards the top of the buildings. Rika and Henry soon arrived to stand along with Takato.
Renamon looks across the building top in order to scan for her opponent. There was nothing yet. Even Rika was unable to pick up anything from her D-Ark.
"I don't get it. Why isn't my digivice picking up anything," Rika said.
"That doesn't make any sense," replied Henry.
"Well it's a digital field and something is bound to come," said Takato.
Suddenly, an image of a digimon was starting to appear on Rika's digivice but still nothing. She looks up and starts to worry for Renamon.
"I don't know why I'm not getting any data or information on this guy. This thing must be broken again! Crap!"
"Well, I don't care what it is," exclaimed Terriermon as he jumps off of Henry's head, "I'm going to take this guy on myself!"
"You ready for a battle," asked Henry.
"No! Renamon will handle this and I'll make her digivolve if I have to."
Rika goes running further within the digital field but Takato calls out for her and then pulls out a card from his pocket. He tosses it to her.
"Here! You can use this!"
Rika turns around and then watches as the card goes spinning towards her. She catches it and then slashes it through her D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Evolution Upgrade!"

[Digimon Tamers first evolution "Evo" plays]
"Renamon shinka!"
The fox's outer skin quickly started to ripple away and her data filled insides were exposed. Then a orb forms all over her body and then she became a Quadra pedal creature with nine tails on her back. She comes hopping out and was now in her champion level form.
"Kyuubimon!"
As soon as she looks across through the digital field, she could see somebody fighting against what seemed to be a very large monster. The digimon that was fighting him was blue-skinned with red-fiery armor.
"Who is that? I've never seen him before! I didn't even detect his presence."
"Fire Rocket!"
[Final Fantasy 10 theme "Crazy Motorcycle Chase" plays]
The digimon turned out to be Flamedramon and he was fighting off what seemed to be a large, tiger-like monster. Kyuubimon goes jumping in and executes Dragon Wheel on the rather gigantic feline. The tiger monster was penetrated by both attacks but it didn't even seem to faze him.
"Who are- Wait, I've seen you before," Kyuubimon stated promptly.
"We meet again."
"This is my battle."
"You'll need help. This pussy cat sure is one big fella."
"I didn't ask for your assistance."
"Just be glad that he didn't kick your ass before I got here."
"Whatever."
Suddenly, Rika's D-Ark started to go off and it was picking up the presence of another digimon. She looked down at it and an image of Flamedramon appeared.
[Flamedramon. Armor Type. Special Attacks: Fire Rocket and Flame Shield]
"Kyuubimon and that monster aren't alone! There's also another digimon up there! I just hope that they don't plan on double teaming Kyuubimon," exclaimed Rika.
"What? Another digimon?" asked Henry.
"That's why I should go up there now," exclaimed Terriermon.
"No you won't!" a voice called out.
The Tamers turned around to see a young man standing behind them with his D-3 at his hand. They were now just as surprised to see him with a D-3.
"Davis! What a surprise! We're glad you came!" Takato said.
"Sup, Takato? Don't worry, Rika. That's you're name, right? Flamedramon is on our side. He's my digimon partner and he's going to take on that tiger."
"Not if I have anything to say about it," said Rika, "You tell your digimon to lay off."
"Rika, just let them handle this situation on their own," said Henry, "I'm sure that they can handle it."
"And in case your wondering who the digimon he is facing. I can tell you."
[Mihiramon. Ultimate level. Special Attack: Samurai Tiger Tail]
"He's an ultimate level?! Yo, Davis! I don't think even a champion and an armor can beat an ultimate. Notice their power level difference?" Henry replied.
"Just watch. We've been taking care of business lately. He hasn't lost a step just yet."
"Oh yeah. The same goes for Renamon."
Flamedramon and Kyuubimon attack Mihiramon with fists and claws, but Mihiramon was able to avoid the head-on attacks. Flamedramon quickly powered up and a fiery aura forms around him. He goes shooting out like a torpedo and nails Mihiramon by his side. Flamedramon watched, as it had no effect. Kyuubimon comes out of nowhere and then executes another Dragon Wheel on the beast. Both attacks were ineffective.
"Ah! Now its my turn!" exclaimed Mihiramon.
The tiger roared out as his body started to shake and his power was quickly rising to new heights. He thrusts out his head and a huge barrier comes shooting out while sending both Flamedramon and Kyuubimon flying back.
"Samurai Tiger Tail!"
The force and the impact of the tail were strong enough to send both digimon flying off of the roof. Davis and Rika watched on as their digimon went flying down onto the ground.
"Flamedramon!"
"Kyuubimon!"
Flamedramon quickly de-evolves back into Veemon and goes landing right into Davis' arms. Kyuubimon goes landing on the ground and creates a small crater into the ground. Rika runs over towards Kyuubimon, as her body started to lose data and quickly de-evolved back into Renamon.
"Veemon, speak to me buddy!"
"…Tell me the number on that bus…"
"Renamon…"
"That's it, Henry! I'm going in!" exclaimed Terriermon.
[Card Slash theme "Slash" plays]
As soon as the small floppy-eared digimon went running into the digital field, Henry pulls out his card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Evolution Upgrade!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Terriermon shinka!"
Terriermon's outer skin quickly started to ripple away and his data filled insides were exposed. Then an orb forms all over his body and then he became a pant-wearing, gun swinging rabbit creature a bullet chain around his chest. He comes jumping out and was now in his champion level form.
"Gargomon!"
Gargomon quickly powers up and then starts to fly up towards the top of the roof, where he would meet up against Mihiramon. He looks across and then sees nothing.
Rika holds Renamon up and the fox quickly manages to speak up.
"Rika. That digimon is strong… possibly at the ultimate of mega level."
"No way! You guys! He's at an ultimate level. None of our digimon can go ultimate."
"If only I had enough power to fuse with Veemon, then we become Paildramon to take this tiger by his tail. Paildramon would be able to easily vaporize that kitty cat. But it takes a whole lot of time to do such an action. Besides, Veemon is worn out after that long fight before Kyuubimon came."
"How are we going to beat him if he's at the ultimate level," asked Henry.
"We can't give up! No way," exclaimed Takato, "Lets just hope that Gargomon can hold him off for a little longer."
Back on the rooftop, Gargomon looks across to see red eyes glowing from the digital field itself and looks on to see a figure starting to surround him.
"Looks like I'm screwed. He found me. But I'm not going to give up. I can't let Henry down!"
Suddenly, a star-like attack nails Mihiramon from behind. Then, an insect-like creature comes out of nowhere and decks Mihiramon right in the side with a purple-like blade. The two digimon turned out to be none other than Stingmon and Shurimon.
"What the?! Hey it's you guys! But where do you always come from?" Gargomon asked.
"We'll explain later. I say a little triple team should do the trick," said Shurimon.
"Lets do it!"
Mihiramon quickly gets to his feet and then faces towards the three digimon. He goes charging right for them with his claws outstretched. The three digimon get into battle stances and go to use their attacks.
"So, you fools want a little one on three?! There's no way that you will ever beat the power of a deva!"
"You talk too much! Try this on for size! Gargo Laser!"
The gun bunny was able to keep Mihiramon at bay with rapid shots from his two chain guns, which allowed Shurimon and Stingmon the chance to attack. They attacked the tiger with rapid fists. Shurimon goes flying up and shoots out his Double Star, which nailed right in Mihiramon's head. Stingmon gets into a stance and a ball of ki forms in his hands. He shoots it out and sends it right towards Mihiramon. An explosion occurred, which put the three on alert. Was that blast enough to put the tiger away? Their question would soon be answered as Mihiramon phases right behind them and a ki ball forms from his mouth. He shoots it out towards the three unguarded digimon.
"Thought you had me? Think again!"
Yolei and Ken go running by to meet up with Davis and the Tamers, but to their utter disappointment, they saw Stingmon and Shurimon falling off with Galgomon after a failed attempt to put away Mihiramon. They diverted back into their rookie forms. Yolei managed to catch Hawkmon in time just as Ken and Henry caught their falling digimon.
"Well that's not good," exclaimed Yolei, "How can we beat him? Even our digimon are too weak to fuse with us."
"Well not for everyone of us. Wormmon, was he really that strong?"
"Yes, Ken. It's abnormally strong. Stronger than any ultimate I've ever fought."
"That settles that theory of mine," said Ken.
"Huh?" Davis added.
"We can't fusion evolve with our digimon unless it's for extreme emergency."
"This is an emergency, Ken!" Davis exclaimed.
"The thing is that our digimon's ki could destroy this building and cause destruction around the civilians."
"What other choice do we have?!"
Takato looks up towards the top of the Hypnos building with an angry look on his face. He looks over to Guilmon.
"Alright, boy! It's down to you and me! This is our last shot! Ready to rumble?"
"You bet! Lets rumble!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" theme]
Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark and watches as Guilmon was getting set to evolve.
"Card Slash! Evolution Upgrade!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Guilmon shinka!"
Guilmon's outer skin quickly started to ripple away and his data filled insides were exposed. Then an orb forms all over his body and then he became a larger version of his rookie form but with a bit more body muscle mass and a white streak of hair on his head and two horns at the top. He comes jumping out and was now in his champion level form.
"Growlmon!"
"Alright! Here we go, Growlmon! Card Slash! Hyper Wing!"
With that said, Growlmon quickly powers up and a pair of wings appears on his back. He goes flying right up towards the top of Hypnos and lands where he would face the tiger, Mihiramon.
Terriermon manages to tell something to Henry concerning the battle. Henry gasps and then looks over towards Takato.
"According to what Terriermon is telling me, this digimon always circles before he goes to make his attack," Henry said, "Then that's where you can make an attack."
"Alright! You hear that Growlmon? Do that! Maybe that should be the best we can do," Takato said to Growlmon through his D-Ark.
With that said, Growlmon goes charging towards Mihiramon and the tiger goes to slash him, but Growlmon quickly phases out. This catches Mihiramon off guard, and Growlmon comes out of nowhere and nails Mihiramon right in the side of his left cheek. Growlmon goes hammering with powerful fists into Mihiramon's gut.
"Dragon Slash!"
Growlmon goes and slices at Mihiramon's side with the tip of his bladed arm. Mihiramon goes crying out in bloody murder, but quickly regains his senses.
"Take that! I'm going to take you down, kitty! Pyro Blaster!"
The red dinosaur goes shooting out a fiery red blast that went flying right at Mihiramon with rapid speed. As soon as the blast came hurtling towards Mihiramon, the tiger was able to phase away just in time. As soon as Growlmon was about to turn around and attack, he was caught off guard as Mihiramon appeared right in front of Growlmon and bite him right on his side.
Suddenly, Takato started to cry out in pain and clutched his left shoulder, the same exact spot where Mihiramon bit Growlmon. He fell down onto the ground and dropped his D-Ark. The others looked on with surprised looks on their faces.
"Takato!" exclaimed Henry.
"Takato!"
Suddenly, Nefertimon and Pegasumon come flying by with TK and Kari riding along. The others looked on and were more than happy to see them. Kari looked down and saw Takato sprawled on the ground while clutching his shoulder.
"Takato! Hang on!"
The two flying digimon dropped off both Kari and TK, which allowed Kari to run towards Takato's fallen body. She kneels down and goes to attempt to pick up Takato.
Yolei and Ken looked on with utter shock. Davis had just seen about enough of the chaos. He turns to face Veemon and pulls out his D-3.
"That's it! I'm through with this shit! Fusion evolution!"
"Davis! No!" the others exclaimed.
"Sorry, guys! But Guilmon needs our help! Let's do this Veemon!"
[Digimon Zero Two "Beat Hit!" plays]
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
As soon as Xveemon appeared, he and Davis were pulled together into a bright orb. Eventually, the orb morphed and it evolved straight into a tall, humanoid figure with body armor, clawed limbs and legs retained from Xveemon himself.
"Paildramon!"
"Davis! Wait!" Yolei exclaimed.
"You're power as Paildramon will cause devastation!" Ken stated. "We're in a city. It's not safe to pull off such a stunt."
"You said we can only fusion evolve through extreme emergencies. Guess what? This is an emergency! I'm sorry but we can't let Guilmon get pounded to oblivion! Hang on, Growlmon! Reinforcements are on the way!"
Paildramon powers up an aura and flies up towards the top of the Hypnos building. Mihiramon sensed a strong ki and turned to find Paildramon facing him.
"So, another unworthy opponent for me? You dare challenge a deva?"
"Deva, shemva. What you are is a pile of crap. Let's dance!"
"As you wish!"
Mihiramon goes charging towards Paildramon. The humanoid warrior braces himself and pushes back against the tiger deva. Paildramon hoists Mihiramon by his face and slams him against the ground. Growlmon was slowly recovering.
"Growlmon! Are you alright?"
"Yes, thanks. I just need to recover."
"Save up your strength. I'll fend this ass off."
"Samurai Tiger Tail!"
"No you don't! Cable Crusher!"
The two ultimates locked horns once again with Paildramon seemingly overpowering the deva.
"What strength! I'm impressed by your tenacity!"
"You ought to see me when I'm angry over the last donut!"
Paildramon flies up and drops down towards the deva. The fusion digimon slams himself against Mihiramon. Growlmon managed to save up some more strength.
Meanwhile, Kari and TK were doing their best to try to revive Takato. The goggle boy had fallen into unconsciousness. After some encouraging words from the duo, Takato had come back to his senses.
"Takato! You can't give up! This is just a side effect! I've seen this happen before! My brother was at a situation like this during our fight against Burizalor. He felt his body enduring pain because of every hit that War Greymon was taking. This is completely natural and a good sign."
"Kari… What does it mean?"
"That you and Guilmon are connected. You now share the same bond, the same friendship and the same heart. You together are one. You two have shown your allegiance and loyalty towards one another. Much like my brother, Tai, and Agumon. Please, don't let it scare. Make yourself stronger. Just look deep into your thought and into your heart…"
Just then, Takato starting to feel more motivated and felt more energy flowing through him. Now he was able to read right through Growlmon's mind since they now are sharing the same connection as Tai and Agumon did before them.
"Growlmon! Can you hear me? I'm here for you buddy! We're going to pull through with this. Trust me! What do you say, buddy? A little boost sound like a plan?"
"Tamer! We are one! Yes, I can feel your heart and your soul flowing through me! We will bring this kitty down! Lets do it, Takato! I'm ready!"
"Alright Guilmon! That's it! We got this one in the bag! I'm not going to let you down! We're not wussing out anymore!"
Just then, a bright aura was starting to glow around Takato and it started to spread out and the ground was caving in under his feet. He pulls out his last card from his pocket and it quickly turned into a blue card with a yellow dinosaur symbol at the end of it.
"Guilmon! I can feel your power flowing through me! Together, we are going to tame this tiger! Card Slash!"
Suddenly, a bright red beam comes out of nowhere and it goes flying towards the top of the Hypnos buildings. The Digi-Destined and the Tamers could only look on with awe at the bright beam. Growlmon let out a terrifying roar and a powerful aura forms all over his body. Paildramon felt Growlmon's increasing power and he was astonished. Paildramon jumps up and dropkicks Mihiramon in the back of the head.
"He's all yours, Guilmon!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"Growlmon! Evolve!"
"He's going for it! And he sure isn't letting the tremendous energy get the best of him. He's using it to his advantage. Kind of reminds me of myself when Gatomon and I were in that training room for a year before our fight with Virus,"Kari said in thought.
"This reminds me when Tai and Agumon first fused to become Omega X! It's incredible! And he's just going to evolve into an ultimate-level digimon," Nefertimon said to herself.
Mihiramon watches as Growlmon flips up onto his feet and his body started to transform.
Matrix Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
Just then, a diamond-like shape appears with Calumon in the center of it and Growlmon's body starts to morph. Metal plated armor appeared on his back and blades grew from his arms. He was now half-cyborg but retained some of his Growlmon features.
"War Growlmon!"
A large cloud of smoke was now starting to clear away and Mihiramon peered right through to see none other than War Growlmon facing him off with an intensified look on his face. Mihiramon was completely shocked as he sensed his adversary's power level already quickly surpassing his.
"Now that's what I can an ultimate form!" Paildramon added. "This ought to be a good show.
"How can this be?! You have an even higher power level than myself! I will not allow myself to be beaten by such a beginner like you! It was that human that gave you this power! That course of action sickens myself and the other assistants of mine!"
"Why don't you shut your mouth, bitch?" said War Growlmon.
"How dare you defile with foul language! So be it, traitor! You will die!"
Mihiramon goes flying right towards War Growlmon and lashes out at him with his Samurai-Tiger Tail. War Growlmon goes steering back with force while holding out his arms in a crossed position.
Takato goes stalling back just as War Growlmon was and then was quickly regaining his breath.
"You were right, Kari. Every hit that he takes, I take as well! But that sure isn't going to slow me down!"
The group just could only watch on with amazement at the relentless and determined Takato really was, just as he was performing at this very moment.
"That the best you got, weakling?" Mihiramon taunted.
"I was just warming up!"
The tiger goes charging over at War Growlmon as he quickly begins to fade out in ever direction. War Growlmon looks on and then takes advantage by nailing Mihiramon at his exact location, which surprised the tiger even more.
"Its time to take the tiger by the tail," exclaimed Takato as he clenched his fists and began to scream with intensity.
"Ooo. This one is going to hurt," Paildramon said.
War Growlmon let out a cry of intensity as he grabbed Mihiramon by his tail and then swung him up into the air. War Growlmon powers up and then a door opens in his chest. A beam of energy was quickly forming and starting to get bigger. He aimed it right over towards the flying Mihiramon.
"You've been a naughty kitty! ATOMIC…"
"BLASTER!"
With that said, War Growlmon thrusts out his arms and a large, powerful beam goes shooting from his chest and towards Mihiramon as the tiger began to let out a horrifying cry. Mihiramon watched as his body was started to ripple away and bits of data was flowing from out of his now weakened body. He managed to speak before getting fully engulfed by the beam.
"You and the other digimon could have had supreme power over the two worlds! But you had to ruin everything! Augh!"
"He's sure not coming back in time for Christmas," remarked Paildramon.
Mihiramon then quickly exploded into a stream of data and War Growlmon watched as the data started to disperse. Suddenly, a beam of light came shooting down on both War Growlmon and Paildramon. It came from a nearby helicopter. Inside was none other than Yamaki. He looked right down at the two ultimates with a sheer look on his face.
"I can't believe those kids were able to defeat it! And all this time, I thought they were just playing a damn game! Well, I've just realized that this is going to require a whole lot of additional research."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kazu and Kenta were playing over at the park while discussing some issues, including that of Takato and his so-called 'real digimon'.
"So, are you jealous that Takato is a Tamer?" Kenta asked.
But right before Kazu was going to answer his question, he looked out towards the Hypnos buildings and gasped when he saw a large dinosaur coming down from the top of the building and the digital field slowly dissipating.
Jeri looks ahead and then rushes over towards where the others watched the battle between War Growlmon and Mihiramon.
***************************************************************************************
The dark figure watched as the first proud warrior had fallen to War Growlmon. He growled under his breath.
"So they were able to defeat Mihiramon? No matter, we've got eleven more suitable warriors to get the job done. I won't fail you next time, master."
**************************************************************************************
"He did it. I can't believe he did it," Paildramon said while levitating down.
"Well its obvious. Kari was motivating Takato and it sure helped," Yolei said, "After all, she was motivated by Tai. It sure worked in Takato's favor.
"And our digimon were unable to defeat Mihiramon but yet War Growlmon got the job done. Now this is something I have to investigate for myself," Ken replied.
"Go for it, then!" Yolei remarked over to her husband.
Just then, Kazu and Kenta managed to arrive in time to see War Growlmon descending over towards the ground and in front of Takato.
"Whoa! Is that really Guilmon," asked Jeri.
"Heh. He digivolved twice! War Growlmon, his ultimate form," replied Kazu.
"Did Takato leave?" Jeri asked.
"No way! A real Tamer never leaves the fight," exclaimed Kenta.
"Takato. I'm so proud of you. You managed to overcome the extreme powers. Even I had trouble doing so when I tried to have Gatomon ascend to her next level, but Guilmon was easily able to ascend. Great work, Takato."
"Thanks. I appreciate the help. Thanks you guys," Takato said to every one of the Digi-Destined and the other two Tamers. "I couldn't have done it without your help."
Takato goes running up towards War Growlmon and embraces him with tears full of joy. War Growlmon looks down at Takato and then speaks up.
"Takatomon. You are worthy, Tamer. Thank you for fighting by my side," War Growlmon replied.
"But I didn't do anything but trust in you."
"And that's what counts. You made me strong just as you said that you would, Takato. Thank you."
Takato nods and then shares an embrace with his newly evolved digimon partner, but now was more of a 'friend' than a partner.
"We'll always share the same friendship, boy."
That was one mighty evolution, Takato! War Growlmon puts Mihiramon away as if he were nothing. But who was Mihiramon referring to and what other new threats are soon going to come according to the dark figure?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Who Are the Devas?! The True Meaning of Leadership!
Meeting over at the park to discuss the issues of the recent incident that occurred just a couple of days ago, the Tamers and their digimon were looking back to those turn of events and the motivation that Takato had received to help. Paildramon helped Growlmon to digivolve. As a result, Growlmon super evolved into War Growlmon.
Henry was the first to speak amongst the group.
"Well it looks like its up to us to help save the world from more of those evil digimon," Henry said, "Plus we got the older Digi-Destined to back us up."
"That just suits me just fine," Rika said, "I've been dying for a good battle. Sitting around just plain sucks on my part. Renamon and I are always ready."
"Hey, by the way, Guilmon and I have a surprise for you guys," Takato announced, "Ahem, Guilmon. If you will…"
Guilmon just looks at him dumbfounded and wasn't sure at what his partner was just saying.
"Guilmon. The banner. You can bring it out now."
"Oh ok! I get ya!"
Guilmon pokes his head into one of the crawling tunnels and then pulls something out with his mouth. Takato goes and holds it up. He waves it up and it is a banner with all of the Tamer's faces along with their digimon. It read Digimon Tamers. This brought a mixed reaction amongst the group.
"Ta-da! So, how do you like it? I said to myself that since we are going to be the new heroes, then we might as well have our own official banner name. Copyrights are included."
"So, what are we exactly supposed to do with it?" asked Henry.
"All teams have a flag or a banner to let people know who we are."
"Congratulations! That is the lamest thing I have ever seen!" Rika remarked, "How typical."
Just then, Guilmon was quickly losing his balance and then falls over Takato's foot. Guilmon loses his footing and falls on top of both the banner and Takato. As a result, the banner was destroyed.
"Ah no! Guilmon, I spent all night working it."
"Sorry, Takatomon!"
"I sure owe you one, Guilmon," Rika said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.
Calumon watches them from a nearby tree and a smile comes across the little digimon's face.
"Ha! Like I said, humans can be so silly."
***************************************************************************************
On the other side of the city, a local bus dropped by and loads of passengers stepped out. Amongst the crowd was a teenage boy with short brown hair, a shirt and baggy jeans. He carried a backpack with a heavy load inside.
"Hey, Cody! You think you can open the ol' bag? I need some air to breath."
"Sorry about that Armadillomon. I didn't want people to see you."
Cody unzipped his backpack, which allowed more air room for Armadillomon to breath.
"It was a good idea to use this weekend off to see our old friends," Cody said. "I haven't seen Yolei and Ken for quite a while. I can't wait to finally graduate and move out here."
"You think you can afford it?"
"Just give me a year, Armadillomon. I can I can manage to support myself."
"This is one big city. Do you even know where we'll find our friends?"
"Yeah. They gave me directions."
"Ok, let's go and find them. After that, let's go get something to eat. I bet there's some really food around here."
Just then, something caught Armadillomon's attention as he turned to see pint-sized imp with a red bandana. It was Impmon. The tiny imp had a piece of bread in his hand.
"Aw. Lunch time for ol' Impmon!"
Impmon tossed the bread piece up and opened his mouth like a garbage disposal. However, he did not see the bread coming down into his mouth. Instead, he found Armadillomon taking it.
"What? What? What? That's my bread, fat boy!"
"You snooze you lose."
With that said, Armadillomon stuffs the bread piece into his mouth. Cody came running by and guided his partner through the crowd. Impmon was left a broken and defeated rookie. His stomach growled and he let out a scream heard around the city.
"SHIT!"
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, in a local subway station, a transit official was helping out a drunk out from the train after the commuter had passed out for some reason.
"Ugh, no more shots of whiskey for me…"
"Whiskey? Just what the hell have you been doing, sir?"
"Partying. I wish it was New Year's already."
Suddenly, a digital field appears at the end of the tunnel with crimson, blood-shot eyes glowing within the fog. A loud hissing noise was then heard and the drunk quickly took notice of it.
"Help! It's coming to get me! Help me!" the commuter exclaimed.
"What are you talking about? There's nothing down here," replied the official.
"Oh yeah?! Explain what's behind you!"
As soon as he did so, the official's eyes widened in fear as the creature approached him and loud, horrifying screams were echoing through the subway station.
***************************************************************************************
Cody looked through a piece of paper, which contained the directions to Ken's apartment.
"This must be it," the teenager said.
"Ring the doorbell, then."
Cody pressed the doorbell and waited for anyone to answer it. Just then, he heard a girl's familiar voice.
"Who is it?!"
"I'll give you a hint. I'm the quiet boy, who has a glutton of a digimon. How's that for you?"
"Cody?!"
With that said, Yolei opened the door and her eyes were glistened.
"Cody! You're here?! It's been almost a year since we've seen each other. You've grown!"
"You haven't that much."
"Oh, well thanks for being observant. So, what brings you here?"
"I've been hearing about the reports of monsters appearing in this city. So, Armadillomon and I agreed to come down here. Besides, it's nice to see you guys again."
"Don't you have school?"
"I have several days off. So it's a long weekend for me."
"That's good. Oh, there's somebody that wants to see you."
Yolei walks over to the crib and holds up Naomi. The sight of the baby took Cody back by surprise.
"Yolei! Since, how long have you had her?"
"For nearly a year. Isn't she just cute?"
"So you and Ken are really married?"
"Duh. You know that already."
"She's such a cute little thing. She has your eyes, but Ken's hair color."
"Hmm. So, you want to make yourself at home?"
"Yes. Where is Ken anyway?"
"He's out doing some errands. He should be back later. Why don't we wait for him until then, okay?"
"No problem."
"Oh by the way, don't worry about the mess in this home. I'll clean it up. We're a messy couple."
"Yeah. I see you haven't changed about it."
"Hee. Not a bit."
**************************************************************************************
The next morning, Henry was quickly awakened by what seemed to be his digimon partner, Terriermon. But he then soon realized that Suzie was holding him. He was very surprised that Suzie was up this early and looked over at his clock. It was 6:30 in the morning.
"Henry! You got a call from that 'angwy kid'," Suzie said while hugging the now suffocating Terriermon.
"When will the hurting stop?"Terriermon said to himself.
Henry gets out of bed and then picks up the phone to answer the call to Takato himself.
"Ok, Takato. This had better be important, since its 6:30 in the morning."
"Morning, Henry! I was thinking, since we are Tamers and all, that we should jump onto any potential threat that comes our way!"
"Ok…"
"How about we patrol the city today?"
"Um. Actually, I got things to do today and I will be pretty busy."
"Oh, okay then. I guess Rika and I will have to patrol then. Talk to you later."
"Bye."
Takato hangs up the phone and then picks it up again as he quickly dialed up Rika's cell phone number. He waited and then heard somebody answering. It was Rika.
"Hello?"
"Hey Rika! Since Henry has things to do, why don't we go out and patrol the city today, in case we bump into anymore bad digimon."
"No. I can't. I'm supposed to go to the theatre with my grandmother."
"Ok, well. Call you later then."
Takato hangs up the phone and then sighs to himself. Now he would have to patrol himself on his first day as an official Digimon Tamer.
"Man, I must be the only one who takes taming seriously."
Just then, a voice calls out from downstairs, which belonged to none other than Mrs. Matsuki.
"Takato! Your friends are here to see you!"
"Coming, mom!"
Takato ran downstairs and was hoping that Rika and Henry had both changed their minds but saw none other than Kazu, Kenta and Jeri with some of the other classmates.
"Hey, buddy. Surprised aren't you?" Kazu said.
"We're here to see Guilmon. Can you take us to see him," Jeri asked.
Takato replied with a smile on his face and nods. Takato runs out and leads the group over towards the local park.
**************************************************************************************
TK and Patamon were strolling through a street without anything in mind. They were simply taking a break from all the writing.
"Man, all this writing can sure strain your mind," TK stated promptly. "This walk was much well deserved."
"Hey, look, TK!"
"What is it?"
TK turned around to see to what Patamon was pointing towards. He saw a crowd. Then, he looked to see two young kids with a pair of advanced disks around their arms. TK walked over and tapped a boy on the children.
"Say, just what the heck is this?"
"It's Duel Monsters. Actually, it's the pre-season of the Battle City Tournament. The actual tournament hasn't started and will be over at Domino City. These guys are just having a warm-up preliminary. It's cool. Those are duel disks. They place a card on them and a hologram of that card appears. Dude, where have you been?"
"I'm not really into these type of things, but you're right. This looks cool."
"If you want, there's plenty of spots left to sign up for. Heck, I know even a few beginners starting."
"Who's hosting these games?"
"Seto Kaiba. He's the owner of Kaiba Corps."
"I know who he is. I just did not have any idea he was hosting tournaments."
"Well, now you know. Kaiba is also entering the tournament to challenge the best. From what I hear, he's only been defeated once by a kid named Yugi Muto."
"I see. I guess everyone has to lose once in a while."
"Yeah. Well, you might want to check out this duel if you're interested."
"I just might will."
"I wonder if we'll get to see something like this with digimon cards," Patamon said.
"Who knows? Now that would be something I would compete in. Can you just imagine that?"
"Hee. I get to see myself digivolve in hologram form! That would be swell."
"They're starting."
**************************************************************************************
As soon as they were relocating in the park, Takato stood outside of Guilmon's home and opened the door. The children all grouped up and stayed behind Takato. Guilmon comes walking out and looks over at the children.
"So, here he is guys! This is Guilmon, my digimon."
Kazu turns to face the group with a huge smirk on his face and points over to Guilmon.
"See, I told ya'll so! You didn't want to believe me. But here's a real life digimon. And he's pretty cool, too."
"Oh and he said 'cute', not 'cool," Takato said to Jeri.
"You can call me whatever you want, as long as you brought the peanut butter and bread."
"Ok, you guys better listen up and listen good. Guilmon is our secret and anyone who blabs will have to answer to me," Kazu instructed.
Meanwhile, watching them from a nearby tree, there stood two mysterious figures and they turned their attention over towards Guilmon.
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the local play, Rika was watching the play with her grandmother. All the young girl could do is moan and want to fall asleep.
"Who the hell wrote the script to this? A freaking monkey?!"
***************************************************************************************
Henry goes putting on his clothes and then goes over towards the front door as if we were going out. He turns towards his parents.
"Mom. Dad. I'm going to go run a few errands. I'll be back, ok," Henry said.
The boy looked over towards Suzie, who was now putting a thermometer in Terriermon's mouth and playing doctor. A sweat drop comes down his face while watching his digimon being tortured.
"Terriermon. Looks like you got a bit of a fever. I'll have to go and get the medicine for you," Suzie said.
As soon as the little girl left to go grab some medication, Henry runs over and snatches up Terriermon just in time to head out the door and bail Terriermon out of another one of Suzie's 'chamber of horrors', as Terriermon likes to put it.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back over at the events of the play, Rika looks and one of the actors was wearing a dog-like mask. She quickly had thoughts about Renamon and started to look back at the recent events.
"I can't believe Renamon has come back to me after I was so cold and heartless. Even after Icedevimon tried to take me away and make me his Tamer. I was so afraid that Renamon would end up being a monster like him if she were to digivolve. But she proved me wrong, once we had our encounter with Harpymon. I never thought I felt so strongly about anything in my life and I was even surprised myself. It was amazing to actually working together for the first time ever. Then when Mihiramon attacked, I thought I had lost her forever. But she didn't and stood right by my side as I looked down at her. How could I have ever thought that my best friend was data?"
***************************************************************************************
Yolei had finished cleaning up the house with Cody's help. Armadillomon was seen sneaking round the refrigerator. Hawkmon spotted him and launched himself at him.
"You can't be seen sneaking into the fridge like that, Armadillmon! Yolei will throw a hissy fit if she sees you like that."
"Sorry, I was just hungry. I only had a piece of a bread once we got here."
"Piece of bread? Did you go snatching food from other people again?"
"I didn't exactly steal from a human, but a strange little fellow with a red bandana."
"Oh? He must have been a sickly child. I'm ashamed of you, Armadillomon."
"It wasn't a human. It was some sort of digimon. He had a white pasty face like those ol' black and white cartoons."
"I'm saying that you've been watching too many cartoons."
"But I love those cartoons."
"Ok, guys. Knock it off," Yolei retorted. "So, Cody. Tell me how has school been? You ready to graduate?"
"You bet! I'm ready to move out and live here in Shinjuku."
"Can you afford it?"
"Perhaps. I want to see if there are any good universities here."
"I'm sure you'll find one eventually. It gets pretty busy here. So, you'll need to be careful. You can lost pretty easily here."
"I learned the hard way. Tell me, how have Kari and TK been?"
"They're doing good. TK is still writing and Kari is on and off volunteering at a local elementary school. You heard about the new digimon tamers here, right?"
"Yeah. Davis was telling me about it."
"You still have contact with Davis?"
"Through email. I only got his, Joe's and Izzy's email addresses."
"Oh, why didn't you ask for mine? Here, I'll give it to you later. Well, you know the whole story. We're keeping an out for any digimon emergences. We've helped the tamers out often."
"Looks like things have been pretty exciting lately. Life's been boring since Virus was defeated."
"Agreed. Our digimon could use a little bit more action now and then."
"I thought Ken was supposed to be back right about now."
"He'll come. Don't worry. He has a habit of coming late on occasions. I'm used to it."
"Alright."
"Why don't we catch some TV in the meantime? There are plenty of good comedies on."
"Ok."
*************************************************************************************
Back over at the park, Kenta found an abandoned shopping cart and strolled over to the group. As soon as Kenta was strolling Guilmon inside of the shopping cart, it tipped over and Guilmon was sent flying back as he hit his back across a nearby tree. He could see stars spinning around his head but he quickly shook the cobwebs out. The kids laughed with the digimon and soon Guilmon was sharing laughs with them.
"Ugh! That is just pathetic," a voice called out.
The group all looked up to see none other than the little devious rookie, Impmon. He had a disgusted look on his face.
"You should be ashamed for yourself," Impmon said to Guilmon, "I bet you think its cute playing with these kiddies. You're nothing but a trained monkey!"
"Hey, Takato? Do you know who he is," asked Jeri.
"Yeah, unfortunately. This is Impmon. Do yourselves a favor and just try to ignore him."
"Ugh. How can we ignore anybody dressed up like that," Kazu remarked.
Impmon simply sarcastically replies, "Aww, you're hurting my feelings! Like I care what some knuckle-headed punk and his playmates think about me! I could care less!"
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Henry and Terriermon were walking alongside a sidewalk on the streets of West Shinjuku. Terriermon quickly sneezed and Henry looks up at him.
"If you say one thing about Nurse Suzie being right, then I'm out of here and jetting," Terriermon said.
"I didn't even say a thing."
"Well, just letting you know right away. I just hate playing nurse and patient…"
Little did they realize that they were being watched by two shadowy figures in a nearby alley way. They had their eyes locked onto Terriermon. Surprisingly, the little floppy-eared digimon didn't detect them.
As soon as Henry came passing by, a teen with slicked back hair was seen passing up some time. The boy is wearing a baggy white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He looked up and found no traces of the two mysterious figures.
"Damn. Just what the hell were those two? Something tells me that those two are here for a reason," Yuksuke thought. "Oh well. I have a day off anyway. Kuwabara has to get over Yukina. It's not like the last time he'll see her again. Feh. What a stupid lug."
From here, Yusuke would eventually learn that the younger Toguro brother had survived. He would then realize that he, Hiei, Kuwabara and Kurama would participate in the Dark Tournament. Yusuke's team would have to win or else it would be death by Toguro's hands. His madman would slaughter everyone he knows and loves.
***************************************************************************************
Kenta placed two wadded paper balls into the nostrils of Guilmon and then runs over to the group.
"Alright! Its time for Guilmon's newest attack, the Snot Blaster!"
"Sheesh. First I get my bread snatched by some armadillo punk and now this? I can't believe he would let some humans treat him as if he were some carnival animal," Impmon said, "I wouldn't be caught dead with those losers!"
Just then, a familiar figure appears from behind the little rookie. It was Renamon and she quickly replied to his remarks.
"Well it looks like you are with them."
Impmon quickly turns around with a disgusted look on his face.
"Oh and don't mind asking. I was just being in the neighborhood," said Renamon, "I just saw your little talk with those kiddies and I was just thinking."
"The hell you babbling about?"
"Its simple. I just think that you're just jealous. Why else would someone so disgusted by those kids would spend a beautiful afternoon watching them."
With that said, Renamon quickly disperses and vanishes with the speed of light. Impmon tries to stop her but was too late.
"I'm not done with you fox-face! I'm calling you out until the next time we meet! I don't know what's worse! Having you're bread stolen by a 'dillo or having a fox tell you off! This just isn't my day!"
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, over at the subway station, Rika and her grandmother were just standing by right before the next subway train was passing by. Rika notices that her D-Ark was starting to go off and then looks over at it.
"I'm detecting the presence of a digimon of some sort. It's being located here. But I don't see anything…"
As soon as she turned around, Rika only sighed a relief as she saw Calumon by awed by some girls nearby.
"Ah. Its just Calumon."
But that relief came to an end as her D-Ark was going off yet again. Rika looked down and it was detecting the presence of a large digimon of sorts, one with an even higher power level.
"This digimon is big and I'm picking up a huge power level from my digivice."
Suddenly, a digital field was starting to envelope the station. Rika looks over to her grandmother and calls over to her.
"Grandmother, you have to get out of here now."
"But, Rika, honey? I can't just leave. We…"
"You have to go now. Renamon!"
Deep within the city, Renamon goes flying out and then picks up a disturbance at the subway station. She feels Rika's presence and that of the digimon's ki level.
"I'm coming, Rika!"
Rika pushes her grandmother out from the fog but the older woman wouldn't have any of it and was demanding to know why her grand daughter was pushing her out.
"Rika. What's the meaning of this?"
"Its for your own good, grandmother."
Suddenly, Rika's cell phone goes falling out from her pocket and she runs over to retrieve it. A transit comes running by and restrains Rika's grandmother.
"What are you doing? My grand daughter is in there! I have to go get her."
"We have to go now," the transit replied, "For your own safety ma'am. A rescue team should be down there any moment."
With the subway already evacuated, Rika turns to see Renamon rushing to her side. They turned around to see none other than a large, white snake with a cobra-like hood. It arched its head up, looks down at them with crimson- blood eyes and hisses out.
"Alright Renamon! It's clear to attack. Walk all over him."
Renamon goes jumping up and begins powering up. It was barrage of diamonds start shooting out.
"Diamond Storm!"
The attack all hit the snake monster with direct contact, but it made not even one single scratch or dent into his shining armor. Rika was caught by surprise by this and then looks into her D-Ark and tried to pick up information on this monster. But to her surprise, it wasn't able to pick anything much like Mihiramon before him.
"Why isn't it picking up any information on this guy? This piece of junk isn't working!"
"Well, whatever we are going to do now, we better do it now," said Renamon.
"Lets give the digivice another try!" Rika replied, "Alright here we go!"
[Santiramon. Ultimate-level. Special Attack: Venom Axe.]
"He's an ultimate-level. I've got to make Renamon evolve or else we don't stand a chance in hell."
Santiramon lashes and goes striking at them. Renamon quickly snatches Rika and phases away just in time. She reappears behind a pillar post with Rika at her side.
"Its time to charm this snake," said Rika.
Calumon looks on from a safe distance as Rika pulls out a card and slashes it right through her D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Evolution!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Renamon shinka!"
The fox's body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her new form, which would be her champion-leveled form. Now Renamon was Quadra pedal and a pair of nine tails was in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpix-like, but retained of her 'Renamon' features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her new name.
"Kyuubimon!"
A subway train was strolling by and little did the passnengers realize that there would be a battle-taking place at the next stop. Among those passengers were Henry and Terriermon.
Rika and Kyubbimon go as they pursue the escaping Santiramon through the next tunnel to the next station, just where Terriermon and Henry disembark the train.
"Man, I wish something exciting would just take place to satisfy my boredom," Terriermon said.
As soon as he said that, they saw Santiramon being pursued by both Rika and Renamon.
"Well, it looks like you got your wish," said Henry.
Everybody starts feeling from the train at the sight of Santiramon. A woman starts worrying and notices that she had left her baby on the train.
"My baby! Somebody has got to save my baby!"
Santiramon shoots out a blast and it goes towards the train at full speed. Terriermon takes notice of this and goes to stop it. Henry pulls out a card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! War Greymon's Brave Shield!"
With that said, Terriermon stood as he held a large shield similar to the brave digimon of courage. The blast from the snake quickly dispersed and Terriermon drops the shield with relief on his face. Henry retrieves the baby and gives him to his mother. She cuddled him safely and goes running out.
As soon as Santiramon was passing by, Rika was seen riding Renamon. Henry takes notice of her and tries to stop her.
"Rika! Where are you going?!"
"Call goggle head! We're going to need his help," Rika exclaimed as she tosses her cell phone over to the boy.
"He's getting away, Rika," Kyuubimon said.
"Not for long. Time for a little boost!"
Rika quickly slashes another card through her D-Ark and Kyuubimon moving a lot faster than last time as she was quickly starting to catch up towards Santiramon.
Henry quickly dials Takato's home number and then waits for an answer. He hears somebody picking up but he heard Takato's mother speaking.
"Hello?"
"Yes, hello. Mrs. Matsuki."
"I'm sorry. I'm not interested in buying anything."
"No, Mrs. Matsuki. Its me, Henry."
"Oh, hi Henry. Are you looking for Takato?"
"Yes. May I speak with him?"
"I'm sorry, but he's over playing with a couple of his classmates. I can tell him once he gets home if you like."
"Oh, no thank, Mrs. Matsuki. I'm sorry for bothering you. Goodbye."
With that said, Henry dials the cell phone off and then lowers his head. He was beginning to think that Takato was the one that wasn't taking Taming seriously.
"Takato. We need you at a time like this and you're off playing games?"
Henry goes off as he searched for Takato, but all he was doing was running in two full circles the whole time and was unsuccessful in finding the park, which was the easiest area to locate.
"Takato was the one all fired up and now I can't even find him."
"Heh, knowing him, he's probably finding some tracks left by the Yeti," remarked Terriermon.
"Well, Bigfoot isn't going to be much of a help for Rika and Kyuubimon."
Just then, a blue-haired young lady came walking out from a bookstore. This was Ami Mizuno, a.k.a. Sailor Mercury. She seemed to be reading a novel based on medical research. She looks over at the boy with the Terriermon.
"Aw, how cute. I wonder why they're in such a hurry. Today is such a good day to relax with a good book. Oh well. Children will be children."
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back over at the subway, Kyuubimon and Santiramon faced off with one another as they both flared up with auras.
"Now I like to see you pick on me now since you don't have anybody to terrorize at this moment," Kyuuibmon said, "Well what do you say?"
Kyuubimon goes charging right over at Santiramon and phases away in order to psych her adversary out. As soon as she unleashed her 'Fox Tail Inferno', Santiramon quickly phases right behind her and snatches her up with his tail. Kyuubimon screamed which caught both Henry and Terriermon's attention. Henry pulls out his D-Ark and then slashes a card through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Terriermon quickly powered up for his next evolution.
EVOLUTION!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
Henry's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Terriermon's body. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.
"Terriermon shinka!"
Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms. And a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Gargomon!"
Santiramon turns to face Gargomon with a sneer on his face. Gargomon points his guns over towards the mutant snake.
"Open wide! Gargo Laser!"
Santiramon was merely effected by the shots and then tosses Kyuubimon over at Gargomon, while watching the two champions tumbling over each other.
"Where the hell is Takato?" Rika asked.
"Couldn't find him. I should be asking myself that same question," replied Henry.
Impmon looks on from a far distance while rolling his eyes with a disgusted look on his face.
"Uh, they're some team. Our heroes…"
***************************************************************************************
Cody and Yolei were having good laughs while watching American sitcom import, Friends. This old school show has caught on to many of the Japanese natives. Despite being an old show, it still remained popular in the heart's of many viewers.
"I never thought they would bring this show back. I love it!" Yolei said.
"I agree," Cody replied.
"Just then, Yolei's phone starting ringing. Cody rushes over to pick it up. He answers it promptly.
"Hello?"
"Yolei… Cody? Is that you? Hey! It's good to hear from you!"
"Kari! It's good to hear from you too!"
"It's Kari, Cody?" Yolei asked. "What does she want?"
"So, what's up?" Cody asked Kari through the line.
"Listen, Cody. I've just received an urgent call from Henry a little while ago. He said that a wild digimon has attacked the sewers! Are you able to help them out?"
"Well. Sure, anything you want! Where is the location?"
"I'll tell you where you and Armadillomon need to go! Hurry! Are you carrying a cell phone by any chance?"
"I carry it like the holy bible."
"Good. Call me as soon as you get outside."
"No problem. You just lead the directions."
"I'm counting on you, Cody. Thanks."
With that said, Cody hung up the phone and ran towards the door. Armadillomon came running after his partner.
"Where are you going, Cody?!"
"Kari needs me to do something! Looks like Armadillomon will be seeing action after all!"
"About time. I was just about getting too comfortable lately," replied Armadillomon.
Cody goes running out through the door with Armadillomon tagging along. Yolei was left behind with her mouth hanging.
"Great and just leave me behind…Sheesh."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at the park, Takato and the others were still playing games with Guilmon. They were playing a round of tag, as Guilmon was the one who was 'it'. He looks over and then spots Kenta. He quickly shoots out his 'Snot Blaster' and watches as the two wadded up paper nail Kenta in the chest. Kenta gags and then pulls off an Oscar-winning death scene as the kids looked on laughing.
Just then, Guilmon was sniffing the air and then looks down at the ground.
"I can sense the presence of a digimon. Its power level is extremely high."
"Well, you just noticed that, pineapple head," Impmon said as he reappeared on a tree branch. "Its about time that you realized that, because your buddies are in trouble down below as we speak. Meanwhile, you're here playing baby in a stroller."
Guilmon begins sniffing the ground and then points down to the ground. He could also sense the presences of Kyuubimon and Gargomon.
"They must be in the subway system!" Takato exclaimed.
"And they're about to be snake food as we speak," Impmon replied.
"If there's a real digimon fight going on down in the subway system, then I'm going to see it," said Kazu enthusiastically.
"Can we come with you, Takato?" Jeri asked.
"No way! You guys could get killed," exclaimed Takato.
Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Digmon's Drill!"
With that said, Guilmon's front arms turn into the drills of the armored digimon form of Armadillomon. He quickly drills into the ground with ease and enables to plow his way into the underground subway station. But before Takato could follow Guilmon, he turned to see Kazu giving him a card.
"Here, you're going to need this," Kazu said, "Its a power modify card."
"Thanks, Kazu. Wish me luck, guys."
Takato grabs onto Guilmon as they both going down into the subway station. Impmon just simply looks on and sighs to himself in disbelief.
"I never get credit for anything around here. Sheesh!"
**************************************************************************************
The battle was continuing to wage on as the two champions were taking on the mighty ultimate. Kyuubimon goes charging up and attacks Santiramon with her Dragon Wheel. But Santiramon was barely affected and simply laughs at her.
"Bunny Pummel!"
The gun bunny went upper cutting Santiramon while shooting at him with his chain guns, but they did no damage to Santiramon. Calumon watches and notices the snake smiling.
"He's smiling. I've got a really bad feeling about this."
"So, you two ready to give up right after I kill you and your pathetic human pests," Santiramon asked, "No answers? Very well. So goodbye."
"Gold Rush!"
Santiramon begins to power as the ground shook around him and rocks started to rise. He was quickly increasing his power. Just then, Santiramon turns around and is caught by surprise by incoming drills coming right at him. Santiramon growls and then faces none other than Digmon.
[Armor evolution theme "Break Up" plays]
"A Digmon?!" Henry exclaimed with a questionable look on his face.
Rika pulls out her D-Ark and an image of Digmon comes popping out with information.
[Digmon. Armored type. Special Techniques: Gold Rush and Rock Cracking.]
"But, what's a Digmon doing here?" Rika wondered.
"I was sent out by another one of the Digi-Destined. I belong to Cody Hida and Kari knew that you guys were in trouble. So I came in to drop by. And what teeth you got big fella," remarked Digmon with his southern accent, "Oh and I brought along a few friends along the way."
With that said, Takato and Guilmon come falling in right behind Digmon. Rika and Henry both looked over.
"About time you boys decided to drop in," Digmon said.
"Sorry about that guys," Takato replied.
"Well, look who decided to drop in," exclaimed Rika.
"Yeah! Better late than never," said Gargomon.
"Guilmon. We don't have time for this. You have to digivolve as soon as possible," said Kyuubimon.
"Whatever you say!"
Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Evolution!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Guilmon shinka!"
Guilmon felt his body starting to change and his energy level increasing. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form. Now Guilmon was larger with a much more broad and heavy body. He has a patch of white hair on his head. However, he looked much too similar to his rookie form, but has a higher power level as far as he was concerned. He stands while blowing fire from out of his nose. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Growlmon!"
"Alright! Time for a boost! Lets hope this works, Kazu," Takato said.
Takato uses Kazu's card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Plug-in A!"
Growlmon begins to power up and the ground him started to shake. Rocks started to rise due to his increase in power. Growlmon goes running towards Santiramon and hammers him away with rapid fists and kicks that sent Santiramon flying back. Kyuubimon and Gargomon were now preparing for their attacks as well.
"Fox Tail Inferno!"
"Gargo Laser!"
"Hey! Don't leave me out in the cold, guys! Gold Rush!"
All four of the attacks connected with Santiramon and huge explosion occurred. Santiramon goes falling down onto the ground with huge bruises all over his body but he was still snickering to himself. The digimon were quickly caught by surprise.
"Ok, this guy is creeping me out!" Digmon said.
"He's still laughing at us," Kyuubimon replied, "Just who are you?"
"I am one of the twelve Devas sent by the Dark One. I may have been defeated but my brethren will avenge me."
"What? You mean there are more of you ugly wackos out there," exclaimed Gargomon.
"Prepare yourselves to be conquered. We are the digimon who refused to be tamed by weak, mere humans and we will rule your… realm. The twelve Devas will destroy you all!"
With that being said, Santiramon laughs maniacally as he quickly explodes into tons of data. The digimon and the Tamers were left dumbfounded and confused.
"Just what is a Deva?" Rika asked.
"I have no idea. But who is this Dark One, that they are referring to," pondered Henry.
"All we know is that these digimon are far different from the ones we've faced before and they're ultimate," said Takato, "I say we talk about this later."
"You Tamers are good as Kari says you are. I'm impressed. You even showed me a thing or two," Digmon said, "Well I better split. We will meet again."
Digmon goes drilling himself another tunnel and disappears into the earth below. The Tamers looked up to the hole above created by both Digmon and Guilmon moments ago. The digimon carried their Tamers up and flew up each one by one.
Watching them from a far distance were the two mysterious figures.
***************************************************************************************
Cody was seen standing at a café stop with his partner Armadillomon. To prevent people from asking questions, Cody placed Armadillomon in his unzipped bag. This way Armadillomon could breath.
"So, you fought a Deva? What exactly are these Devas?" Cody asked.
"You got me, but when we defeated that no good snake, he said that the Devas were sent by the Dark One."
"This sounds like an invasion of sorts," replied Cody. "We best better watch ourselves. This could get serious."
"You bet your ass, it's going to get serious. So, how about those club sandwiches?"
"Um, they're coming right up! After this, let's head to Yolei's and inform her on the news."
"Right."
The waitress came by as she placed the plate for Cody. As soon as she turned away, he grabbed one club and shoved it to into his backpack. From there, Armadillmon would gobble it down like it were a piece of meat. A loud burp bellowed throughout the café. Everyone turned to face Cody with disgusted looks. Cody's face turned red in embarrassment, but he simply shrugged off the stares and rubbed his stomach.
"Excuse me…"
**************************************************************************************
Back in the park, Takato's friends were amazed at the Tamer's digimon and looked at each of them in awe.
"Ahem. Guys. These two are the other two Tamers. Henry and Rika. And these two digimon are Gargomon and Kyuubimon," Takato said.
"Cool! I can't believe that I'm looking at real life digimon in person," said Kazu, "And here I thought they were fake during the Virus incident."
Just then, Rika's cell phone started to ring and Rika answered it. It was Rika's grandmother who sounded just as worried as any mother would be.
"Kidnapper! I'll give you anything, jut give me back my grand daughter…"
"Relax, grandma. I'm fine. I'm here in the park with my friends."
"To be quite honest, I don't think we should be out here in the open. We could be seen and reported," said Kenta.
"We better be getting back to the hide out then," said Takato, "Follow my lead everyone!"
"Last one there has to hang out with Impmon," said Kazu.
The group all started to run as since neither one of them would want to hang out with Impmon. They ran across the field and towards the forests, where the bunker home was laying dormant.
Watching the Tamers and the children from a far distance were the two mysterious figures. They had their eyes locked onto the three digimon with great interest.
***************************************************************************************
It seemed like another normal day within the city of West Shinjuku. Everybody was minding their own business as usual and there were no incidents involving any digimon or Devas, so to speak.
The girl named Rika was in school uniform while looking at towards a nearby shore of a lake. She looks up towards a nearby tree and then speaks up.
"Renamon."
With that said, the mysterious fox instantly appears on the tree branch with a calm look on her face. She looks right down at Rika.
"Yes, Rika?"
"You've done a good job at taking on those recent Devas. I'm impressed and I hope that you will digivolve into your further evolutions."
"I do my best to not disappoint you."
"Good. So that is why I brought you a little something as a gift of some sort."
Rika pulls out a bottled soda drink and then tosses it right over towards Renamon. The neon-haired fox caught with one hand. She looks down at the drink and then backs over to Rika.
"A gift for me?"
"Yeah, so like, drink it. It will give your a bit of an energy boost. And its cherry flavored. Well I got to go. I'm late for school again. Bye, Renamon."
Rika goes running off as she heads for her school. Renamon opens up the bottle cap and examines the bottled drink.
"A gift for me? It's my first gift? Oh. Thank you, Rika."
She quickly takes a gulp from the drink and then her mouth felt a sweet taste in her mouth. Her cheeks blushes a bit as a result of its sweetness.
"Ooo. Cherry-flavored."
Yugi and Tea came passing by. Yugi was getting his deck well prepared for the Battle City tournament. It will take place in nearly two weeks. He wanted to fully prepare himself and practice on new strategies in the meantime.
"Are you ready for the tournament, Yugi?"
"I am. It's my destiny to help the spirit of the puzzle. He helped me free my grandfather's soul from Pegasus and I will help him defeat the forces of evil."
Tea didn't know what to think of the situation concerning the spirit of the puzzle. She would later realize what Yugi means and what his destiny lies ahead of him.
**************************************************************************************
Later that day after school, Takato was walking to the park alongside Kari as they were discussing the issues that have been occurring with the Devas.
"Its too bad that you had to stop teaching. I'm just kind of glad Ms. Asagi recovered."
"Oh don't worry about me. At least, I don't have to give you too much homework."
"No kidding."
"Now, Cody was able to inform Yolei and I about the Devas."
"So, what do you think is causing these Devas to appear, Kari?"
"I really have no idea. I mean, I was told that Azulongmon had sealed up all of the gateways in the Digital World. There is no way that any digimon would enter this world. However, the way these digimon are entering here into our world is much differently than the ones came here before. All these digital fields are just too confusing."
"I'll tell you what. These Devas are much stronger than any digimon that we faced before."
"I've noticed. During that battle between War Growlmon and Mihiramon, Gatomon told me that War Growlmon was about nearly as strong as Omega X was at when he first fought Burizalor many years ago."
"From what you told me, this Burizalor seemed like a real jerk."
"Worse. He was a mass murderer of many worlds. All he ever cared for was power and destruction. He felt so confident that no fusion warrior would overthrown him, but my brother sure showed him. Burizalor alone make the Devas look like pansies. He would wipe the floor with them."
"And they're at the ultimate level. Burizalor seemed like a strong mega."
"He wasn't really a mega. He was pretty much unclassified, since he wasn't a digimon. But Omega X is a lot stronger after those years of training."
"Wow, he must be the most powerful being alive, with you being a close second."
"Well, to be honest, I haven't been training with Gatomon. I've eased down and took advantage of these last seven years as a time of peace. However, Gatomon and I are still able to fuse."
"Aw, that's too bad. But you seem wise enough to know how somebody should control their powers. You sure showed me that. I like to thank you, Kari."
"Well, your welcome, Takato."
"By the way, I really would like to meet your, brother. He seems like a really cool guy."
"Well… Um…"
"What's wrong with seeing him?"
"Oh nothing. I just have to make sure that he isn't coaching the team this week."
"Oh, well. That's okay. If he's busy, then that's ok."
"No, if you wanted to him, I'll call him and let him know. Besides, he should meet with you. He really wants to meet with the new Tamers of West Shinjuku."
"So, you're going to call him for me?"
"Sure, why not? I insist, anyhow."
"Well, alright then."
Kari pulls out her cell phone and then dials away Tai's cell number. She waits to get a response and after a few minutes of torturous waiting, she finally got an answer and it was Tai himself.
"Hello?"
"Well, about time you picked up, Tai. It took you about an hour. Were you sleeping?"
"Well, I was getting done with practice. You really have to go to our games. We're kicking ass as usual."
"Well no wonder why. You and Sora were one of the best soccer players of your time. Its no surprise."
"Funny. So, what's up? How's my little sister been?"
"Tai. I maybe younger than you, but I'm not little. Anyhow, there's somebody who really wants to meet you."
"Did he ask for my autograph. I'll be more than happy to sign one."
"Ha. No. This happens to be one of the Tamer boys. It's the boy named Takato. You know. The one I was telling you about."
"Oh him! He really wants to meet me? That's an honor. Where is he now? Is he with you?"
"Uh huh. He's right here."
"Cool. Lets see here. I'll be on my over there tomorrow afternoon. Tell Takato that. And don't sorry about practice tomorrow, Sora will do double duty for me anyways. Looking forward to see the new Tamer boy."
"Catch you later, big brother."
She hangs up and then looks over towards Takato with a smile on her face.
"Its a go. He's coming over here tomorrow. Trust me, Takato. You're going to like him. He can be a bit stubborn and full of himself at times, he's a good leader and helped me become the fusion warrior that I am."
"Wow, this is going to be so cool. I'm finally going to be meeting the man behind Omega X. Wait till he gets a load of Guilmon."
"Yeah, he'll probably bring Agumon along too, just for the heck of it."
"Thanks a bunch, Kari. You're very resourceful."
"Well, you certainly done a lot for me. I owe you. You can bring the other Tamers along too."
"Great. I'll call Henry later tonight. Thank you again, Kari."
The boy goes running off while waving over to the Digi-Destined of Light. She returned a wave and then looks back over at the Hypnos buildings with a serious look.
"There's something about those buildings that make me real uncomfortable. Especially after that big hole in the sky and those poor digimon being deleted as a result. Who can condone such actions?"
Kari goes walking off but as soon as she was leave the park, she felt the presence of two figures from within the forests. She quirked an eyebrow and then walks out without any hesitation. The two figures emerged from the bushes as they gazed over towards Kari.
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, over at the nearby West Shinjuku Dragon hotel, the Digi-Destined known as Izzy was hard at word while doing his best in translating the Gatomon card that Kari gave him a couple of days. This was perhaps one of his hardest mysterious to ever solve.
[Sonic Adventure 2 Tails' theme plays]
"Anything yet, Izzy? My wings are getting cramped again."
"Not yet, Tentomon. Just sit down or something. That's why your wings are getting cramped."
Izzy was looking at his computer and was hoping for more of the codes from the card to be deciphered, but nothing yet thus far. Izzy could only slam his head onto the table with a sweat drop coming down his head.
"Its no use. Even with modern technology, there's just no chance in breaking into the codes itself. Its nearly impossible."
"Careful, Izzy. You'll get another brain freeze again."
"Ok, maybe a little break would help. Lets go see what they got down in the cafe."
"I might as well wear my disguise just so nobody will scream at the sight of me."
"Good idea, Tento."
Just then, Izzy's cell phone went off and looked into his caller id. It read Ken & Yolei Ichijouji. He then answered and was hoping that Ken would be the one to answer.
"Hello? Ken? Yolei?"
"Its me, Ken. What's up, Izzy? How's the project been going?"
"Thus far, not so good. I can't even decipher the codes in these cards. It's literally impossible. I really hoped that you and Yolei would have helped me. Besides, we were quite a team when we rebuilt Black War Greymon before the final battle against Virus."
"True. Tell you what. Maybe you should stop by here and we can give you a hand."
"You two are over at Kari's house, right?"
"Apartment home to be exact, but yes we're here. Cody is here with us for about a week."
"Cody is here?" Izzy asked. "Tell him that I said hi."
"I will. I tell you what. We can do this later today because Yolei wants to take the baby strolling to the park."
"Alright. I'll meet you guys over at 8:00. How's that sound?"
"That's fine. We'll be home by 7:00."
"Prodigious. See you then. Bye."
Izzy hangs up the phone and then closes up his laptop and walks out the door with Tentomon, who already had his full disguise on.
"You still wearing those clothes?"
"Well, hey, I like them."
"Whatever, I can hear the cafe calling my name."
"Ditto here."
***************************************************************************************
Later that night, Henry and Terriermon were both walking out of the park after a long day from school. Henry was too focused to even mutter a word, as if he were trying to hide something from Terriermon. But the floppy-eared bunny knew better than that. He knew that Henry was just focusing his mind on another unexpected run-in with another Deva.
"Henry. Why aren't you talking that much today?"
"I'm sorry. I'm just too focused on other things now."
"Well, you could have at least said something. Maybe crack a few jokes while you're at it."
Terriermon quickly turns around and felt a strange ki level from nearby. He runs over towards the trees to go check out what could have triggered his senses.
"Hmmm. I wonder what it is," Henry said, "Wait up, Terriermon! Man, I should run more often."
As soon as Henry stopped, he saw Terriermon looking up towards what seemed to be like a fowl bird of some kind.
"Whoa, what is that thing," asked Henry.
"I don't know. But it's a digimon. And I was just thinking about chicken just a while ago."
"Isn't there anything you like to think about besides food?"
"Good jokes."
Henry looked up at the bird, who was sitting perched on the tree. Henry remembered something about the other Devas that made them so significant. There were 'D' markings on their foreheads.
"I've just noticed something. Those 'D' markings bother me. It looks like some kind of tribal marking. I wonder if that's what the Devas wear to indicate their membership in the Deva Clan. Both Mihiramon and Santiramon had it."
"Umm, hello. Earth to Henry."
The young boy snapped out of his 'trance' and then looked over to Terriermon, who was tapping his foot.
"Momentai. This guy doesn't seem harmful. I say we get back and catch up on some sleep."
"Your right. Lets go, Terriermon. That thing doesn't seem harmful. At least, I hope so."
As soon as Terriermon and Henry both left the scene, another group of people were walking by. Ken Yolei and Cody were walking along while Yolei was strolling her baby, Naomi, along the walk path. Just then, Hawkmon, Armadillomon and Wormmon both felt the same ki presence as Terriermon did. They jumped out from the baby's carriage and both landed onto the ground.
"Hawkmon, what is it?"
"Armadillomon?"
"Shh. I can feel a presence of some sorts. It belongs to a digimon."
"Look up there," Wormmon pointed out.
They all gazed up over to the chicken who was sitting perched on the tree. The digimon trio looked at it with great suspicion.
"I say we get a move on out of here," said Ken, "I just don't like the looks of it."
"Well, it doesn't seem harmful," replied Yolei, "We'll just simply ignore it and hope it will just find its way back home."
"It sure doesn't look like the robin of spring," Cody remarked.
"Agreed. I could go for some turkey right about now," stated Armadillomon.
"I agree. Its getting late and dinner could be ready by now," Hawkmon said.
"C'mon! We can't skip on a meal this time around."
"Yay! I can just smell dinner from here!" Armadillomon said.
"Yet, we haven't even started cooking yet," Cody remarked. "You're such a glutton."
"Am not!"
The digimon ran off with their human partners chasing them in pursuit out of the park, in hopes of getting back to the apartment in time before 7:30 hits.
As soon as everybody left for the day, the mysterious chicken took advantage of this situation and then begins to squawk and begins drawing in energy from the city itself, resulting in widespread black-outs throughout the city.
However, the people over at Hypnos easily used a back up to retrieve their electrical power back.
Once the digimon finished drawing in more power, it began to expand in tremendous size and started to break the branch that he was perched on with his tremendous weight.
"Whoa. The Wild One is growing at great proportions and rapidly somehow!" Riley reported, "We better report this to Yamaki."
"Sir! We got a lock on another Wild One," Talley stated, "You better get in here right away."
"I'm on my way," Yamaki replied through a radio communicator.
Yamaki began rushing out from his office and heads down the hallway leading into the secret Hypnos room.
"I wonder what these 'digital parasites' want! Is this some kind of an invasion," Yamaki asked himself.
Yamaki goes running up the stairs and then makes it over to see Riley and Talley doing their best to keep track of the now bio-emerged Wild One.
"What's the situation?"
"The Wild One is growing rapidly sir," replied Riley.
"It has to be stopped no matter what it takes," Yamaki said with anger in the tone of his voice.
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Kari's apartment, since the power went down, they went to light themselves a candle to give themselves light through the use of natural fire for the time being.
Izzy meet up with Ken, Yolei and Cody as they began their discussion on the card controversy.
"So, what did you find out, Izzy? Anything on its secrets?" Yolei asked.
"Nothing. The codes were too difficult for me to decipher. As soon as I was coming so close in translating them, a password box came up and from there. I was screwed. I don't even have the password to tap into its secrets."
"Have any idea of what the password maybe?" Ken asked.
"Negative. That's where I was basically stuck. That's it. There's no way I can get further into this investigation without the password," said Izzy, "However, maybe, I can gather some more of these cards if I can. That way, at least, I can find some clues to what the password really is."
"Not a bad plan, Izzy," said Ken, "By doing so, you could unlock its mystery, but in case you have some trouble, we're always here to help."
"Thanks a bunch, I'm glad to know that you will be helping me out. I really needed the help."
"Don't worry. Just call us and we'll be there," replied Yolei.
"Count on us. We've got your support," Cody said.
"Ack! There's too much love in this room!" Izzy said. "But I'm glad to know that you guys will support me."
**************************************************************************************
The next day, Takato was walking over towards the park after school. He was more than ready to meeting Kari's older brother, Tai. Now he has the chance to meet the Digi-Destined to be responsible for the first digital fusion to have occurred.
"Wow, I can't believe, that I will be meeting the guy behind Omega X. And its Kari's own brother. Well, its 4:00 and Henry said that he would be here any minute."
"Waiting for somebody," asked Henry as he came walking out with Terriermon at his side.
"You were really waiting for us? Sheesh," Terriermon remarked, "You didn't have to."
"Well, now that we're here. Did you manage to get a hold of Rika?"
"No. She said that she had other things to do today," replied Henry, "And there doesn't that much people here today, so I think we should go and get Guilmon right about now."
"You're right. Besides, I'm sure Tai would like to meet him."
**************************************************************************************
As soon as they made it over to the bunker, Guilmon comes walking out after Takato opened the door for him.
"Hey, Takatomon? So, what are we doing today?"
"We're going to be meeting somebody. Its a surprise."
"Oh, I love surprises, Takato. But, have I met this person before?"
"Well, no. But you might remember his name if I told you. Remember that guy named Tai that I kept bringing up earlier this morning when I came to give you bread?"
"Yeah and you said that he was one half of Omega X or something like, but I was too busy eating the bread."
"Well, you're going to get the chance to see him. Lets go, its almost 5:00. Kari told me he would get here at around 5:15."
"Right. We better be heading out now," said Henry.
The Tamers headed off out of the forest with their digimon following right behind them. But little did they realize that they were being watched by the same two mysterious figures that were watching the Tamers and several of the Digi-Destined over the past few days.
***************************************************************************
Takato and Henry waited over at the entrance of the park with Guilmon and Terriermon at their side. Just then, they could see a red convertible driving by and they peered over to see who it was. They couldn't recognize him. The convertible parked in a nearby parking lot and the young man comes stepping out. It had some rather noticeable big hair and a soccer uniform, but only much taller.
"Is that him?" Takato pondered, "No way. Yeah that's got to be him."
"Are you sure?" asked Henry.
"It's got to be."
Just then, a girl goes walking up to Tai and Takato quickly recognizes her as Kari. Takato quickly stands up and waves over towards them to get their attention.
"Its Kari! And that guy has got to be Tai! Without a doubt!"
Takato goes running up towards them and Kari greets the boy. Tai looks down over to Takato.
"Hey, Takato. Here he is. I would like you to meet my brother, Tai Kamiya."
"Wow, I can't believe I'm looking at the guy who is apart of Omega X. Its a privilege."
"Um, yeah. So, you're Takato. Nice goggles, kid."
"Um, thanks. I picked them out myself."
"So, show me this digimon of yours."
"Not a problem. Guilmon! Over here quick!"
The crimson-colored dinosaur comes running out and hearing Takato's call. He stands right by at Takato's side.
"Did you call me, Takato?"
"Yeah, here's the guy I was telling you about. Tai."
"Oh! You must be Mr. Omega X."
"Well, when I'm in battle of course. So this is the Guilmon I've been hearing about?"
"The one and only," replied Takato, "And this boy coming our way is Henry. His digimon is Terriermon."
"Hi there. I'm Tai Kamiya. So you're Henry and this is your Terriermon?"
"Yeah, but be careful, he's a little bit on the cynical side."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean," exclaimed Terriermon.
"Don't sorry. I can be like that most of the time," Tai said, "But you two got some pretty cool digimon. Now it's my turn to show you mine."
Tai walks back over to his car and then opens the back door. Agumon comes jumping out while dusting himself off.
"Agumon! Its so good to see you again," Kari said.
"So, where are they?" Agumon asked.
"Right over there, buddy."
Agumon looks over to Takato and Henry. He then runs over towards them as he begins to greet them.
"Hello. You two must be those two Tamer boys that have been taking out the evil digimon, right?"
"Yeah. We've had our run-ins but we've overcome the opposition. So, you're Agumon?" Takato asked.
[Agumon. Rookie-Level. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Pepper Breath & Claw Attack. Agumon can warp digivolve to War Greymon and can fusion evolve with Tai to become Omega X.]
"That's right. And this red guy must Guilmon. Wow, your must have handled your job quite well."
"Yeah, plus Takato brings me the bread after we win a battle."
"Sounds good. And this little guy is Terriermon?"
"Yeah, but I'm a lot tougher than I look."
"Its not a surprise, Patamon sure proved us wrong on several occasions."
"Yeah and I beat me at a bread-eating contest," Guilmon said.
"But you know what they say? Payback is a bitch," Terriermon chuckled. "You owe me a rematch."
"You're on!"
**************************************************************************************
Later that day, the four had their discussion about the digimon, the cards, the Wild Ones and the Devas.
"Whoa, these Devas sound bad. But believe me, Burizalor and his thugs were much worse," Tai asked, "I don't know what to say, but I'm sure you guys can handle it. But in case, you need help. We're always here to back you up. Besides I wouldn't mind getting a shot at this dark one that these Devas are talking about."
"I bet you would," replied Kari, "Takato and Henry have modify cards which help make their digimon stronger. So looks like we got ourselves a pair of warriors here."
"No kidding, but after hearing your conversation, I'm sure you handle those Devas and perhaps get as stronger as we were seven years ago."
"Ever since I saw the War Games, I always wished to have a digimon and become a fusion warrior of my own. Then during the fight between you and Virus, I quickly got inspired," Takato said.
"Well, your dream may well very come true if you keep up with your digimon's powers. It just might be a reality. But always believe in yourself and become a leader for your team. Now this Rika Girl sounds stubborn but she will have to realize that you are the one in charge here," Tai said.
"Yeah. I won't any of you guys down. Now it's my turn to be a leader much like you were Tai."
"That's the spirit, Takato. Always be prepared for the unexpected."
Just as soon as he said that, an explosion occurs over at the lake in the park. The Tamers and the two Digi-Destined looked over to see what it was.
"What the hell was that? An explosion of some sorts," Tai exclaimed.
"I'm picking up a huge ki reading over at the lake," Agumon said, "Alright, guys. We better get heading on over there."
"Right. I'll lead the way," said Guilmon.
[SSJ Trunks' Ascension American dubbed theme plays]
The three digimon headed over towards the park as more explosions occurred, but there didn't seem to be huge nuclear explosions that a monster such as Burizalor or Virus would cause. As soon as the three digimon reached to the lake, they came face to face with a large armored chicken with a fluff of feather on his head. The 'D' marking on his forehead was glowing profusely.
"Hey! That's the chicken we saw yesterday," Henry exclaimed.
"Dang! That sucker got huge!" exclaimed Terriermon. "He was this small when we last saw him. Talk about weight gain."
"Why didn't you warn me?" asked Takato.
"We figured that it was harmless in that form. But, hey wait a minute! I remember the power going off in the entire city," said Henry.
"And I was watching the whole thing," Guilmon said, "It was feeding off of the electricity and it got bigger. I tried to do something but I got stuck in my home."
"Well, then. Looks like we're going to have to take this Kentucky fried freak out," Takato said, "You ready Guilmon?!"
"Go, Terriermon!"
"I'm going! I'm going!"
"Agumon, you better go and lend them a hand as well."
"Gotcha!"
The three rookies went right at the chicken as they all attacked it head on with rapid punches and kicks, but the chicken deva was easily able to maneuver from their furious blows. Takato pulls out his D-Ark and tried to get information on the deva.
"Oh man! I'm not getting a reading on him. How come it's like this when we face any kind of a Deva. They must be secret agents for the Dark One or something. Aw here we go!"
[Shinduramon. Ultimate-level. Deva. Special Techniques: Poistron Pulse.]
"Agumon has been trained to take down even the strongest ultimates. I'm sure he can handle this dodo bird," said Tai, "Believe me. Fighting Burizalor and Virus was a bitch."
"But never under-estimate the enemy," Kari replied, "He may look stupid but looks can be deceiving."
"C'mon, Agumon!"
"Guilmon!"
"Terriermon!"
"Pyro Sphere!"
"Terrier Tornado!"
The two combined attacks nailed Shinduramon with great contact. Shinduramon cried out as he stumbled back a bit. Agumon goes jumping at Shinduramon and hammers away at his face with rapid punches and kicks. One kick from Agumon sends Shinduramon flying back.
"Whoa! Geez! What do you keep feeding him? You must have put some vitamins in his cereal every morning," Takato exclaimed.
"I told you. He's been training and can even take out some of the strongest ultimates. So, Agumon should have no problems with this hen."
"Well, lets hope for your sake," said Henry.
"Whoa, are you seeing what I'm seeing," asked Terriermon.
"Yeah. No kidding," Guilmon replied, "Its like as if he weren't even trying."
Agumon then powers up as an aura forms around him. A ball of energy forms in his hands and then shoots it right at Shinduramon right in the face. Shinduramon goes flying back but then catches himself in time and powers up.
"Positron Pulse!"
He shoots out an electrical blast over at Agumon and watched as the little dinosaur was able to phase just in time. This caught Shinduramon by surprise as he looked down to see Agumon shoots out another energy blast at Shinduramon.
"Ok, guys. I've done with my warm up. You can take it from here," Agumon said as he walked away with a confident look on his face.
"Um, ok. Thanks," Guilmon said with a confused look.
"Lets go, Guilmon!"
From high above a tree, Impmon was looking down with his eyes almost bulging open at what Agumon had just done. His mouth was about to drop open.
"I can't believe that little dinosaur was able to put him down! And he didn't really need the help from a human. Wow, he really showed me something. Maybe I can strong like that. Feh, what's the use? I get my bread nabbed by an armadillo and get punked by both a fox and a weenie rabbit."
Calumon was also looking on from another tree and was also just as shocked.
"This is what I call fun! Yay! That Agumon sure knows how to put up a good fight. Hopefully, he has enough time to play with us."
"Guilmon!"
"Terriermon!
"Time to digivolve now!"
The two boys pulled out their cards and then slashed them through the D-Arks.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Evolution!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
Henry's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Terriermon's body. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.
"Terriermon shinka!"
Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms. And a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Gargomon!"
"Guilmon shinka!"
Guilmon felt his body starting to change and his energy level increasing. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form. Now Guilmon was larger with a much more broad and heavy body. He has a patch of white hair on his head. However, he looked much too similar to his rookie form, but has a higher power level as far as he was concerned. He stands while blowing fire from out of his nose. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Growlmon!"
Growlmon and Gargomon go charging right over towards a beaten Shinduramon as Agumon continued walking away while brushing dust off of him.
"Way to nail it to him!" exclaimed Tai.
"But why didn't you finish him off?" asked Kari.
"Ah, cause I already know what the result of the fight would be. Besides, I want to see how skilled Guilmon and Terriermon are."
"Oh alright. So, he wasn't worth you time?"
"Bingo."
"Gargo Laser!"
The gun bunny managed to knock Shinduramon away with several shots. Growlmon takes advantage and then delivers a barrage of punches at Shinduramon. Shinduramon goes flying up and then powers up. He shoots down an electrical blast over towards the two champions and blasted them away. But they managed to get back onto their feet with a quick recovery, which caught Shinduramon by surprise.
Growlmon goes over at Shinduramon and nails a devastating head butt, which sent the monstrous chicken flying back. Gargomon delivers a Bunny Pummel executing an uppercut to Shinduramon. Growlmon then flies up, powers up and shoots out a Pyro Blaster. The powerful fireball goes flying towards Shinduramon and it nailed him straight into his chest. Shinduramon goes flying back and goes squawking crazily before exploding into data.
"Alright, Guilmon! So, how did you like that," Takato asked.
"You guys are da 'mon!" Tai exclaimed.
The two champions walk back over towards their respective Tamers and were applauded for their efforts.
"That wasn't so tough. I was pretty disappointed. I expected a much tougher Deva," Growlmon said.
"No kidding. I mean, c'mon! Where's the competition to that?" Gargomon asked.
"Oh, there will be plenty of competition ahead for you Tamers. The same goes for you too Digi-Destined," a voice said from behind them.
[Anonymous dark, mysterious music plays]
The group all turned around to see two figures stepping out of the shadows. The digimon all stood in front of their partners in defense. The two figures looked over towards the four humans, then Tai looks over at them with a confused look on his face.
One of them figures was a medium-sized young man with blue skin and white hair. His top outfit looks like a piece of kimono with a rope-like belt around his waist. His hair is spiky with a small ponytail in the back. He also wore a bead necklace, his pants look leather and wears standard boots.
The other one looks like a giant panda. He wore a karate gi with ripped sleeves, a black belt, wearing a red headband on his head with a huge bead necklace and some red wristbands.
Agumon and the others looked on and could easily read off their ki levels. These two individuals have enormous power levels, yet the two Digi-Destined and the Tamers had no idea.
"What do you mean by plenty of more competition to come. Do you know these Devas?" asked Tai.
The spike-haired individual simply smiled.
"Good day. You are Taichi Kamiya, aren't you not?"
Tai simply nods. He managed to quick an eyebrow afterwards.
"H-how did you know my name?"
"I heard rumors concerning you. I've always wanted a shot against the almighty fusion warrior known as Omega X."
Tai and Kari gasp at what the individual just said. How would he know about Tai's ability to fuse to become Omega X? The Tamer boys were just as confused as well.
"Whoa, this guy is kind of freaky, yet, I don't see Guilmon or Terriermon attacking him for some reason," said Henry.
"Weird. I don't get it. Maybe there's something about these two that we don't know. Plus they've been watching us this whole time," Takato said.
"Yes, we have been observing your battles against the Devas, Tamers. You have impressed us, yet you have no idea of how powerful the next set of Devas shall be. You're nowhere near the level of Omega X. That is why Agumon easily took down Shinduramon. Omega X has trained to become the best, and now I have searched far and long for a great adversary. Tai, you as Omega X, shall be a very interesting opposition for me. Am I right?"
"Ummm… Sure, why not?"
"Of course, we can not be sure who will come out the victor. However, I do want to test my powers against yours."
"How does this guy know so much about us if we haven't even seen him before,"Kari said to herself. "And why would he even want to fight my brother?"
"Taichi. By all means, may I shake your hand?"
Tai just looked at him with a confused look on his face and then looks down at the mystery person extending out his hand. Tai nodded and then stuck his hand out.
"Mm? Ah, good to meet you, whoever you are."
They shake hands and Tai looks down at the blue man, who was simply smiling. Something was behind that smile and Tai is anxious enough to find out. He chuckles and Tai stares down at their hands, confused, and then both of them withdraw their hands.
"I see. As the rumors have said, you possess a fine soul."
The mysterious blue man then bows and walks away behind the big panda, who in turn follows him along as they quickly faded out.
Agumon walks behind Tai and speaks up.
"Who was that, Tai?"
"I don't know. But it's no mistake that we aren't the strongest beings in the two worlds. Couldn't you feel their powers?"
"Yeah and its uncanny. I couldn't believe it myself."
"Really? Well, then, Tamers. Looks like we got ourselves a pair of warriors on our hands. But are they really friend or foe?"
"Are you sure?" asked Takato, "He didn't appear all that great. I mean, to me, he seemed like some strange-looking fellow."
"Remember, looks can be deceiving, just as Gatomon always tells me," Kari said.
They all look on still with shocked looks on their faces.
*************************************************************************************
Watching the crew from behind the shadowy corners of the city, the dark devil-like figure took a good observation at Tai.
"So is this one? I sensed a great ki from his Agumon. That Agumon was able to put down an ultimate? Interesting. It seems that there are digimon who have surpassed the powers of the Sovereigns. No matter, my lord will be informed of this. It seems we will double the fun. Enjoy your victory, humans. Soon, doomsday will reign."
With that said, the dark figure vanished within the speed of light. It was clear that this dark figure was in cahoots with not just the Devas, but this Dark One. This was the one that Santiramon spoke of.
Well, this has gotten quite interesting. Here we got the two mysterious figures already revealed. But who are they? Are they really friend or foe? And will the Tamers be able to defeat the next set of Devas?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
A Rumble in the Bronx! Rapidmon's Rapid Fire & Taomon's Dance in the Moonlight!
The city of West Shinjuku was just as beautiful as ever, however, the streets were just as busy as usual. And children were now leaving school to enjoy themselves by either going to the park or onto the school playground.
A boy was seen receiving a couple of new cards to add to his digimon card collection. A radiant smile comes across his face as he looked at the new cards with a happy look on his face.
"Yes! I'm not done with my collection! These are just the cards that I needed."
But just as he was about to walk away, he accidentally trips and falls over. His cards tumble down onto the floor. He then looked ahead and saw what seemed to be a strange-looking card.
"Hey, wait a minute. I don't remember having this one."
He picks it up and examines it. The front cover had a picture of several Motimon with hardhats.
"No. This is really weird. Where did this card come from? I better show this to the other guys."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a blonde-haired young man was fixing to order to brunch meal. He turned around and noticed that a woman was behind him.
"Ah, Kari! You startled me there for a minute!"
"Sorry, TK. I had to fight through traffic. It's such a pain in the butt."
"Don't worry. You're not late. I was starting to get our orders."
"Oh, what did you get me?"
"Hot coco as usual."
"Aw, you've read my mind."
Kari sat down from across TK at a small two-seat table. They were outside the café and it was a perfect day to get away from such a stressful day.
"So, I heard that you're brother came to visit the other day."
"Yeah. He finally got to meet Takato."
"Wow. That must have been so good for Takato. So, what happened?"
"Well besides introducing themselves to one another, we've had another run-in with a Deva."
"Another one? You know these Devas are starting to bother me. What do they want from us?"
"You're telling me? These things are ultimates, yet they seem to be fighting like megas. It's indescribable."
"I see. So far, only Guilmon has digivolve into ultimate. Time will only tell when Terriermon and Renamon gain that opportunity."
"We also have ultimates of our own. Do you think it's a wise choice for me not to fusion evolve into Celesta X. After all, I could vaporize these Devas effortlessly."
"You made the right choice. We have to let Takato and the others win their battles. That's the only way for their digimon to reach new levels. Besides, you're power might cause harm to the city."
"Yeah. Oh, TK…"
"Yeah?"
"I don't know how to say this, but…"
"You can say it…"
"You've been so good to me ever since we've moved in together. I want to repay the favor…"
"You do? Kari? Just what are you thinking?"
Kari placed her hand around TK's shirt and giggled. She inched over towards his face. TK noticed the sparkle in Kari's auburn eyes and went along with it. He inched closer towards her face.
"Takeru…"
"Hikari…"
Just as they were inches from planting one, the waitress came walking by ready to get their order. She looked on with widened eyes and a sweat drop coming down her forehead.
"Um, excuse me? Can I get your orders?"
The couple fell out of their chairs and flat on their butts. The audience looked on from the background and were amused by their comic routine. All of a sudden, their romantic scene turned into a comedy routine within a flash.
"Oh, sheesh. How embarrassing," TK thought.
"I was so close," thought Kari.
The couple dusted themselves off and returned to their seats. From there, they would place their orders and went out their conversation. There was another time for the romantic moment.
Looking on from outside the café, a girl with jet-black hair had thoughts going about in her mind. This girl was wearing a light green summer dress, a pair of white shoes and was carrying a delicate, white purse.
"No way. I can't picture Inuyasha and myself like that. No way, no how! He's first going to have to learn to give me respect."
With that said, Kagome went about to start another day of taking it easy after a long week in the feudal era. This Inuyasha she spoke of was a half-demon and half-human. Though, she can never admit it, but Inuyasha had become one of her closest friends outside the modern era. Unfortunately, these two often get into fights.
*************************************************************************************
As soon as he arrived over at the school playground, the kid was discussing with his friends about the mysterious card that he had found.
"So, you found this? You don't even remember if you had a card like this?" another boy asked.
"It looks like a fake. I haven't seen that card before," replied Kazu.
"So you guys want it? I don't need it."
"Um, sure. Here Kenta. Maybe you can hold on to it," Kazu said.
"I don't know. How can we be sure that it's even that useful of a card? Hey, Henry, why don't you have it?"
"Well, ok. If you insist."
"C'mon, dudes! Let's go check out that Dungeon Dice Monsters arena! I bet Duke Devilin has more information on that tournament."
"Speaking of tournament, when's that Battle City tournament going start?"
"I heard it would start next week. I've been seeing duelists playing some exhibition matches before the big tournament. I'm going to have to start my own duel monsters deck," Kazu said.
"Not unless I start and find new ways to kick your sorry butt, Kazu."
"Kenta. Kenta. You'll never learn."
Kenta hands the card over to Henry. The blue-haired boy examined the card with a look of curiosity. The other boys walked off as they headed for home. Henry was still looking over the card. Terriermon broke out of his 'doll state' and hops down from the slide.
"What do you think, Terriermon? You think I should keep it?"
"Why not? Give it a swipe."
"Well, alright."
Henry takes the card and slashes it right through the D-Ark. And as quickly as he did that, the card transformed and changed into a deeper, blue color. Much like the one Takato used before. Henry stared at it in complete shock.
"Whoa! You see, Henry! You see? You should listen to me more often."
"I don't know… Something doesn't seem right here."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, over at the West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel, Izzy was still trying to solve the case of the mysterious digimon cards. After a long night of work and investigation, Izzy feel asleep on his desk. Tentomon was too falling asleep but he tried to urge Izzy on to finish up his investigation.
"Man, even after giving him ten cups of coffee, he still manages to fall asleep on the job."
Just then, the door bell rings and Tentomon flies on over to open it.
"Who is it?"
"Its me, Tentomon."
"Cody? Armadillomon? Is that you guys?"
"Yeah, can we come in?"
Tentomon opens the door to let both Cody and Armadillomon in. Cody has been staying with Yolei and Ken for several days. This was Cody's week off from school. He only has a chance to get these week offs every four months.
"Cody, so did you get some more cards?"
"Yeah. I figured I could help Izzy with his investigation. But it looks like he's asleep on the job."
"Aw, I could use a little napping myself," Armadillomon yawned.
"Armadillomon. But you were napping along while on our way over here," Cody said.
"I better go wake Izzy, then."
The insect flies on over to his human partner and starts tapping his shoulder.
"Hello! Earth to Izzy! Wake up…"
"It doesn't seem to work! Maybe we should try a little more persuasion."
"You're right and I got just the thing. Hey Izzy, your computer froze again!"
With that said, Izzy quickly sits up and gasps at the word frozen. He looked over at his laptop and it was still in good condition. He punches on his keyboard and it was still functional.
"That was your idea of persuasion?" asked Cody.
"Well, either that or throw his laptop out the window. I had to take extreme measures," the insect replied.
"Well, be glad that you didn't throw out my laptop. So, did you bring them, Cody?"
"Sure did. I got a ton of them. I even got some duel monster cards."
"We really didn't need those."
"I know, but I want to start my collection."
"Oh, that's a start."
Cody hands several digimon cards over to the red-haired computer whiz. Izzy skims through each of them and they were cards of some of the Destined's own digimon.
"And I got an Armadillomon card just for myself."
"Yeah, but I look so much better in person," replied Armadillomon.
"Lets check this out," Izzy said as he placed a card of Tentomon in his laptop.
"Hey, you're looking up my… profile?"
Just then, a profile of Tentomon was displayed on his laptop, with all of his statistics and evolutions. This caught Izzy by surprise.
"What's wrong, Izzy?"
"Well, this is inconceivable. Cody, the last time I checked a card, it displayed a box where I had to enter a password while using a Gatomon card. But using the Tentomon card enabled me to look up Tentomon's own profile."
"So, I must be famous around here. What's the big deal?" Tentomon asked.
"Its a big deal because somebody out there knows about us and knows a whole lot about digimon. It must be a coincidence."
"Odd. And just a couple of days ago, I sent Digmon to help the Tamers out. According to what Digmon told me, the tamers used those same cards to their advantage using Card Slash techniques through their digivices."
"Really? So, these cards must be some sorts of energy boost for their digimon, which makes them a whole lot stronger."
"That so? But there's just one question, I've been meaning to ask. What do you call this?" Cody said as he held out a blue card.
"A blue card! I've never seen anything like that. Here let me take a look at it."
"Sure."
"Did you by any chance use it?"
"No. I just found it."
Cody hands the card over to Izzy and he places it in his laptop. As soon as he began to scan through the codes, he saw the word Shibumi appear. Izzy looks on and begins to think to himself.
"Shibumi? Is that a name of a person or something? Or is this just a code? Well, whatever it maybe, I have a hunch that it has a lot to do with the cards itself. Then, maybe, we can find its originator."
"So, what is it, Izzy? What did you find?"
"Cody, looks like we got a serious case in our hands," Izzy replied.
************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's house, the young boy came walking in and noticed that his father was home a little earlier as usual.
"Dad. Could you help me out with something?" Henry asked.
"Um, sure. What is it that you need?" replied Mr. Wong.
As soon as Henry got done explaining, Mr. Wong walks over towards Henry's room and sits down at the computer.
"Ok, lets take a look at it. The card."
"Right. Here."
Mr. Wong places the card into the reader and then pushes it in. The computer starts to read the card from the reader.
"So, what exactly did you install?"
"Its kind of a high-tech scanner. I managed to install it earlier in the week," said Mr. Wong, "Ok, lets see what we got here."
The computer was now starting to load up and a bunch of numbers started to appear on the screen.
"What are all those numbers, dad?"
"Not sure yet."
Just as he said that, Mr. Wong gasped at what he saw next and this quickly catches Henry's attention. He was curious to know what had appeared on the computer screen.
"What is it, dad?"
"Oh, I thought I saw something. But its nothing but meaningless pieces of data," Mr. Wong assured him, "Where exactly did you get this card?"
"Oh, one of my friends gave it to me."
"Interesting…"
***************************************************************************************
Gatomon and Patamon were strolling across the streets, while their partners were out having brunch. Gatomon looked over and saw a man walking through the crowd in a yellow jacket. She felt a weird vibe coming from this strange man.
"I've got that feeling again…"
"Gatomon? You've been like this for the past day. What's wrong?"
"I've been feeling weird vibes. Pata, take a look at that guy with the yellow jacket."
"I see him. What's the big deal?"
"There's something about him. He doesn't seem to be human."
"What? You sure?"
"Positive. Let's not say or do anything for now. Let's just keep an eye out for him."
"Right. I got ya."
"Yes. We'll run into each other again, weirdo. I will get to the bottom of this."
"Hey! I think I see TK and Kari leaving the café! Let's go!"
"Wait for me, Pata!"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Kazu and Kenta were just about to walk over towards the Dungeon Dice Monsters arean. That is until, a guy with a red cap stepped in front of them. This guy's cap was tall and loomed over his head. He has dark brown hair at the back and distinctive silver bangs covered his forehead. His eyes were slanted to the sides, which gave them a menacing glare. The guy was wearing a green, long-sleeved shirt with a tan coat over it and blue jean pants.
"Well, if it isn't my old friend, Kazu."
"Man, I never thought I'd see you again, Rex Raptor. The pleasure is not mine!"
"Don't get you're underwear in the mix, Kazu. Just be grateful that I went easy on you last time we dueled with duel monster. My dinosaurs made mince meat out of your deck!"
"You caught me off guard, dude! Plus, you threatened to chunk my digimon cards in the pond! Those are rare collectibles!"
"Don't tell me you're challenging me again, Kazu. The result is going to be the same."
"We'll see about that. I've got my deck! Do you got yours?"
"I carry them everywhere I go. You should me by now, Kazu."
"Kazu. You can't duel him now. We've got a get to the Dice Monsters arena. They're going to close early since its Sunday."
"What's the matter, Kazu? You chickening out already?"
"Fine! I challenge you to a duel now!"
"Fine. We'll duel with these."
Rex Raptor tosses Kazu a spare dueling disk, which is recently a state of the art.
"What the heck is this?"
"The new dueling disk. These will be used for the Battle City tournament. You'll be a great warm-up. Heh. Heh."
"We'll see who's the warm-up, punk."
"I hope you've got a worthy deck, because my dinosaurs are ready to stomp you again!"
"Kazu…"
"Not now, Kenta. Just cheer me on! This rematch is mine!"
"Let's duel!"
The two duelists got their dueling disks in check and pulled out their deck. Their life points were started at 4000.
"I guess I'll start just to be a nice guy," Raptor said. "I'll place one card face down and I'll throw in the Two-Headed King Rex in attack mode."
In front of Rex Raptor were a hologram of a facedown card and a monstrous image of a purple tyrannosaur with two heads. Two-Headed King Rex was leveled at 1600/1200. The monster's roars were enough to give Kazu chills.
"Make your move, Kazu!"
"You bet! I'll put one card facedown and I'll throw in Doma the Angel of Silence! He'll be in attack mode!"
An angel-like warrior appeared before Kazu with a staff in his hand. This monster has a level at 1600/1400.
"Kazu! You're still an amateur at duel monsters! You know that our monsters can't attack one another with equal attack points! What have you been smoking?!"
"Not unless I use this card! My facedown card is the Shield & Sword card!"
"Oh no! That means that the attack and defense points of our monsters are reversed!"
"That's right, which makes you're Two-Headed King Rex at a wussy level of 1200 and my monster at 1400."
"Damn!"
"Doma attack and destroy his Two-Headed King Rex!"
With that said, Doma charges at the Two-Headed King Rex and slashed him with his staff. King Rex screams out before he was vaporized. This brought Raptor's 4000 to 3800.
"Aw, did I just ruin you're reputation dinosaur boy?"
"Keep laughing now, Kazu! I'm taking this duel again!"
"Bring it on!"
*************************************************************************************
Later that day, Henry met up with Rika and Takato as they were discussing the whole blue card matter. Takato was the first to speak up among the group.
"Blue card? Well, this isn't the first time that a blue card showed up. I got a blue card on the day I first met Guilmon. And I received another during the battle with Mihiramon. But after took events took place, those blue cards disappeared."
"Well, what could this mean?" Henry asked.
"We won't know unless we use it," Terriermon said, "Geez, just lighten a bit. I'm sure it will be useful."
"Maybe…"
"Maybe not. I only saw a blue card once before," Rika said, "Just before I got Renamon that is. I say it's just a piece of trash."
Henry examines the card a bit and then places it back into his pocket. He then looks over to his fellow Tamers.
"So, where exactly did you say you got this card? Who gave it to you?" asked Takato.
"It was given to me by one of my friends, but it was just a normal card right before I slashed it through my digivice."
"And then it just turned blue from there?"
That's right, Takato. And my dad was able to check it out. He put in the scanner, but all he said to me that it was nothing but a bunch of meaningless, nothing more."
"Well, I think we should give this situation a little investigation. I really want to know how these blue cards instantly appear."
"While you two have your little investigation. I got to be heading off. Investigations are just a waste of my time," Rika said as she walked off.
"Don't worry about her," Takato said, "She just has things to do. You know. But I'll help you out, Henry."
"Thanks, Takato."
"What are friends for?"
Rika looks backwards without even turning her head and overheads their conversation.
"What are friends for? You're such a goody, goody, Takato. But then again, you always seem to want to cheer everybody up. Including myself. Well, you just try so hard, goggle head."
"So, should we begin like right away?" asked Takato.
"If you want to. It doesn't really matter to me."
"Well, we better make up our minds now before we grow old and die," Terriermon remarked.
"Point taken," said Henry.
The two Tamer boys headed off into the park in search of the boys that were hanging out with Henry earlier ago. The investigation would begin now. But first, Takato had to go see Guilmon before heading out.
**************************************************************************************
As soon as they made it over to Guilmon's house, Takato comes walking in to see his digimon friend. He let Guilmon know that he and Henry were heading off into the city to investigate the whole blue card mystery.
"So. I can't come, Takato?" Guilmon asked.
"I'm sorry, boy. But we're heading out into the big city and we don't want the people to see you exposed out in the open. They'll think that you're some kind of wild animal of sorts. But I'll tell you what, once we get done, I'll come back to bring you some more bread."
"Promise?"
"Promise. Just stay in here, Guilmon. Don't go wandering off, even if Calumon comes by and asks for a nice game of tag."
"Ok, I will keep my promise. Bye, Takato."
"See ya later, boy."
"Terriermon, your so lucky. People don't get scared when they see you."
"Hehehe. I know."
***************************************************************************************
The duel between Kazu and Rex Raptor continued. Kazu was in the lead with 2300 and Raptor was at 2100. Raptor was forced to watch as some of his best dinosaurs were demolished, though he retaliated by taking Kazu's warriors with magic and trap cards.
"Look who's in the lead, Rex. What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to get upped by an amateur like me?"
"We'll see about that. It's not over yet!"
Rex Raptor pulls out two more cards to his hand and a devious smile appeared across his face.
"What are you smiling for?"
"I'm smiling, because I'm going to end this duel! It was nice knowing you, Kazu. Remember how I creamed your as last time?"
Kazu remembered and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Aw, no! You don't mean!"
"That's right, punk. Prepare for you're demise! I summon the Serpent Knight Dragon!"
The dragon was summoned as his level was at a strong 2350/2400. Since Kazu's life points were at 2300, this was definitely it for him.
"No! If you have him attack me, then I'm a goner! I have no more monsters to protect me on the field!"
"That's right, Kazu! You shouldn't have challenged me again! It's all over for you! Serpent Knight Dragon! Attack his life points!"
Serpent Knight Dragon made his attack and Kazu looked on to realize that he was going to be defeated again.
"No! Ha, got ya!"
"What are you babbling about?!"
"I activate my facedown trap card! The Spell-Binding Circle!"
"No! That means my monster's attack points are cut in half!"
"Make it 700 points off, but close enough. You're monster is at 1650! Now I summon forth Kojikocy!"
"But his attack points are only at 1500!"
"Who said I was done? Now shut your mouth and watch me raise his attack points with the Lighting Blade! It increases any warrior monster's attack points by 800. Since Kojikocy is at 1500, his attack points are raised up to a strong 2300."
"Damn it! I was so close!"
"Now, Kojikocy! Attack the Serpent Knight Dragon!"
Kojikocy charges at Serpent Knight Dragon and easily demolishes the weakened monster with a sword slash. Rex Raptor could hardly believe it.
"No… This can't be happening!"
Raptor's life points dropped all the way down to 650.
"What's the matter now, Raptor? Are you getting bad luck against an amateur? I might as well take your place in Battle City then."
"No. It's not over! For you it is. I'm just about one turn from having my monster wipe out the rest of your life points. It's all about sweet revenge, baby!"
*************************************************************************************
As soon as they made out into the city of West Shinjuku, the Tamer boys were having as much bad luck as they could ever had. They asked several kids about seeing any strange blue cards, but they all each replied with either a 'no' or 'you're crazy' type of remark.
After about an hour of investigation, the boys were quickly becoming exhausted and they found a bench for them to sit on. Terriermon was just about to pass out from because of the long run.
"Man, so this is how you guys exercise. Remind me never do try it again. I can't feel my feet," Terriermon remarked.
"Its hopeless. Nobody else has claimed to see a blue card. Maybe they're just some fakes that some practical joker decided to make. Anybody could make a card if they wanted to, let alone, a blue one," Takato said.
"But then again. Why did it give Guilmon the power to evolve into his ultimate form? I don't regard that as a fake. There's something about these blue cards that we don't know about. They might contain some sort of mysterious power."
"Don't worry, Henry. Maybe, we can get to the bottom of this. Lets just take a breather, cause I'm about to pass out over here," Takato said, "Is it just me or has the weather been getting a lot warmer than usual."
"Its just you."
"Next time, you should consider never to wear heavy clothing with weather like this. By the time summer comes by, you're going to be roast beef," Terriermon said.
"Funny," the goggle boy replied with a chuckle, "Besides, this is serious work here."
"I know but I just needed to lighten to mood. Momentai, Takato."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's apartment home, Mr. Wong was about to go up to the roof to exercise a bit but then thoughts were starting to run through his mind after reading those anonymous words on the computer after scanning the blue card.
"I remember back in my old college days. It was all simple back then, exciting and fun. And it has all come down to this. Plus that strange man who had asked me to help him find one of my colleagues. I just can't understand why they would shut down the project so early. I thought I would have never seen them again but then a strange blue card appears. And my own son brought it home. There's no way I could ever tell what those codes really mean. How could I even lie to my own son and what am I supposed to tell him?"
*************************************************************************************
Later in the day, Izzy and Cody were still hard at work while investigating and skimming right through each card that Cody had brought with him. But as soon as he finished scanning the last one, Izzy looks over and sees the Gatomon card.
"So, anything yet, Izzy? We've been investigating almost the whole day. Can't we like rest or something?"
"Not yet, Cody. I'm certain that I can crack down on this case. And I just might know a why to do this. Watch and learn."
With that said, Izzy places the Gatomon card into his laptop card scanner. The same was always, a box appears in the middle in the screen, requesting for the password to be typed in.
"Alright. Keep your fingers crossed, guys."
Izzy quickly types in 'Shibumi' and then waits for the password to be accessed. And as quickly as possible, it confirmed the password, which brought smiles across the faces of the two Digi-Destined.
"Prodigious! We're in! Learn from me, Cody. If you're a computer whiz like myself, you could learn a lot."
"No doubt. So, what do you see now?"
"A menu and a bunch of files. And… Whoa…"
"What's wrong, Izzy?"
"Cody. Looks like we hit the jackpot."
"The jackpot?"
"We got everything we need here. The secrets to the cards."
**************************************************************************************
An hour later, Mr. Wong was about to take a walk from his home, but then he turned around as he had forgotten to grab his cell phone that he left behind.
Just a few yards away, the Tamer boys were over at the park as they were planning out their next move for the day.
"Alright, let's try this again," Takato said. "We've had an hour to rest up."
"Sure, I guess. Hopefully, we can get more clues. This is so stressful."
Terriermon felt the presence of something and turned around to see none other Impmon walking out from the bushes with a smirk on his face.
"Well, well. If it isn't the little helicopter-eared weenie, you ready for a little rematch from the last time we duked it out. This time you aren't going to cheap shot me."
Terriermon quickly jumps off of Henry and then goes to face off the little virus rookie.
"Sure. I could the exercise," replied Terriermon, "What do you say, Henry? Can I have a shot at him?"
But he noticed both Takato and Henry looking the other way and seeing none other Mr. Wong himself. The father looked over at his son and then to Terriermon. Shocked expressions came across their faces.
"Hey yo! Helicopter-head! I was talking to you," exclaimed Impmon, "Well I guess you have to do what your partner tells you then! Your a disgrace to all digimon."
"Did he just say, digimon?" asked Mr. Wong.
Impmon turns around and looks over at Mr. Wong with a look of bewilderment. The man slowly goes to confront him.
"Are you a digimon?"
"Ack! You better get back, jack!"
Impmon gets into a defensive state and quickly tosses a fireball over at Mr. Wong, but he manages to shield himself with his briefcase, just before he could get burnt.
"Dad! Are you alright?!"
"But you're only a game," Mr. Wong replied.
"I've got your game right here!"
He shoots out a fireball and it nails Mr. Wong in the shoulder, which caused the man to yelp a bit. Impmon deviously smirked and was about to throw another one. But just as Impmon was about to make his attack on Mr. Wong, Terriermon goes running up to the man and shields him.
"You better back off!"
"Huh?! You're protecting him?!"
"You wanna play? Ok, lets play ourselves a little round of kicking your behind!"
"Ugh! If one master is not enough, so now you have to have two! You humans are beginning to make my skin crawl! I'm out of here!"
Impmon goes bouncing away into the bushes in hopes of finding him some other people to bug for the day. Henry looks over to his father and was surprised that he found his own father in the park and seeing the live digimon for himself.
"I guess we sure showed him, huh, Henry?"
"Dad?"
"Henry… We need to talk…"
Henry gasps and then quickly snatches up Terriermon as he runs off with Takato out of the park.
"I'm sorry! I can't!"
"Henry! Wait!"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile over at Hypnos, the team was able to pick up the locations of two Wild One about to bio-emerge. Usually, there would have been just one at a time, but now there were two.
"Sir, we were able to activate the Yuggoth program but it was quickly neutralized," Talley reported.
"Damn! Its useless then," Yamaki replied.
"It's coming from the Juggernaut core again. But there isn't just one," Riley said.
"Yes, this time there are two of them."
*************************************************************************************
Rex Raptor was reeling against Kazu. Raptor had gained another advantage and managed to deplete Kazu's life points down to 200.
"I'm back at the lead, Kazu. You're just another steppingstone! I'm one turn away from taking away the rest of your life points!"
"Is that right?"
"What? Stop bluffing! You know you're beaten!"
"Not unless I have this polymerization card. You see I'm going to fuse both my Blue-Winged Crow and Niwatori monsters."
"You're going to fuse them to create what?"
"You ought to know. Oh wait, you specialize at dinosaur monsters. Allow me to freshen your memory. Activate polymerization!"
With that said, the magic card fused both of Kazu's monsters to create one. Now there was a large, parrot-like monster with a demonic glare in it's eyes. It was ready to take away Rex Raptor's remaining life points.
"Say hello to my Punished Eagle. His level is at 2100/1800."
"Ack! This isn't a perfect way to warm myself up for Battle City. Why do these things always happen to me?"
**************************************************************************************
The Tamer boys met up with Rika and were walking towards the area of Akihabara. Terriermon was the first to speak amongst the quiet group as usual. He noticed that Henry was not acting like himself. He felt rather depressed
"C'mon Henry. Everything is going to be all right. Momentai."
"Rika, Henry isn't acting like himself. What should I say to him at a time like this?"
"Why don't you just do yourself a favor and try something different for a change. Like keeping your nose out of everybody's business."
"But I have got to something."
Elsewhere, Calumon was flying around the busy streets of Akihabara in hopes of finding somewhere to play. He noticed that there were a lot of people to choose from.
"Wow! This sure looks like a good place to play! I just hope that these people are friendly enough. Culu. Culu."
But as soon as he said that, he heard loud car honks, which caused him to go flying back while covering his ears. He goes landing onto a nearby porch and tries to shake the cobwebs out.
"Ow! All of that noise just gave me a killer headache. These people aren't nice at all."
*************************************************************************************
Rex Raptor witnessed as his life points were dropped down to 0 after an attack on his life points. Kazu raised his hand in victory.
"Yeah! Nothing but sweet revenge!"
"Way to nail it to that jerk!" Kenta exclaimed.
Kazu and Kenta exchanged high-fives, while leaving Rex Raptor in defeat.
"Good luck at Battle City, loser!" Kazu said. "You hear me, loser?"
"This isn't over yet! Just watch me breeze and make my comeback! Just you wait!"
"I hear an echo. C'mon, let's celebrate by going to the Dice Monsters arena!"
"Um, it's already closed, Kazu."
"NO!"
"Ha! I'm sorry you don't get to go into the Dice Monsters arena today, kid. Looks like I got the last laugh after all," Rex Raptor chuckled.
"Man, just as I've gotten sweet revenge," muttered Kazu.
"Oh well. There's always tomorrow," replied Kenta.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within Akihabara, Izzy and Cody were walking along while carrying their respective digimon, Tentomon and Armadillomon. So far, the crowds have been totally unaware of the digimon since they were in their 'doll states'. They were walking in hopes of finding Davis and Veemon. And with luck, they saw Davis running up towards them with Veemon around his arm.
"Hey guys! Over here! Geez, I've been standing out here on this spot for like an hour! My feet were getting tired."
Izzy and Cody turned to face Davis and they rushed right over towards him.
"Well, you didn't call out loud enough. You know that Akihabara is busy like any other day," Izzy said.
"So, what did you found out about the cards? Anything yet?"
"Yeah, as a matter of fact I did. I was thinking of getting ourselves some lunch while discussing the matter."
"Food! I could sure go for some…" Armadillomon managed to say but was stopped short by Cody.
"C'mon, your supposed to stay in doll form, remember?"
"Sorry, but if I hear food, then I'm going to flip."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go get ourselves some grub!" Davis said.
Suddenly, the electronics around them were starting to malfunction for some unknown reason. Davis stopped short and looked around.
"Aw, man. Look what you did, Davis!" Veemon remarked.
"Me? My voice doesn't sound that bad!"
Just then, some sort of rift was forming in the sky above. The Digi-Destined looked up to see a hole opening up. The digimon reverted from 'doll state' and they sensed an incoming ki power. Make it two ki powers on their way.
"Davish, there's something on its way over here," said Veemon.
"What?"
"You can feel it too, Armadillomon?"
"Yeah and there's two incoming powers are their way here."
"They're right, Izzy. And as far as I'm concerned, they are both of the ultimate-level."
"Not good, considering that Armadillomon and Veemon can only become ultimate if they fuse with Davis and Cody, but I don't think you guys have enough power to fight off these threats. Except maybe you, Tentomon."
"And I will be ready, don't you worry."
"That's what I'm worried about."
**************************************************************************************
The Tamers' digimon also felt the incoming presence of two highly powered kis on their way into the Earth's realm. But since Guilmon was conspicuous by his absence, Terriermon hopped down and looks up into the rift in the sky. The Tamers looked up as well.
"There's something about to emerge from that rift," exclaimed Takato.
"And these malfunctioning electronics are going haywire! Something is about to go down from here," Henry said.
"Renamon!"
As soon as Rika called out to her digimon, Renamon appears on top of a light post while looking up to the skies.
"Two ultimate-levels. And without Guilmon, we might have a hard time dealing with these new foes."
"We sure as hell can't fight them alone," remarked Terriermon.
Suddenly, a digimon emerged and hovers down towards the area where the Tamers stood. The creature turned out to be a sheep-like creature with ram-like horns. Its upper body had two arms and its lower body had four legs. And then another emerges, but this one was a bull-like monster with two swords on his back. He also had a lower body with four legs and an upper body with two arms.
"Whoa! Who opened the door for these weirdos," Terriermon asked.
"Don't under-estimate them. They're ki is very high," Renamon reassured him, "And I do believe much higher than the last Devas."
Henry pulls out his D-Ark and quickly gets an image of the sheep monster, plus its statistics.
[Pajiramon. Ultimate-level. Deva. Special Attacks: Treasure Bow and Thunder Stomp]
Takato pulls out his D-Ark and gets a quick reading on the bull monster, not to mention an image.
[Vajiramon. Ultimate-Level. Deva. Special Attack: Deva Blade.]
"It all begins here," said Vajiramon.
"And it ends here!" Pajiramon replied after stomping down on a nearby car.
Just then, the Tamers turned to see the three Digi-Destined. Veemon, Armadillomon and Tentomon were more than ready to fight.
"Whoa! Davis? Who are these two guys?" asked Takato.
"You guys here to help us?" Henry asked.
"Hey! It's nice seeing ya again, Takato!" Davis replied.
"We can save the reunions for later. We must attack them all together," Takato said.
"Wait a minute. Renamon doesn't need your help?" Rika said to the other digimon.
"Actually, its best that we each take turns. You two take the bull. We'll take the sheep," Izzy said, "So what do you say? Its better that way."
"Sounds like a plan. What are we waiting for then? Lets do it!" exclaimed Takato.
The two devas went to nearby electronic stores as they began to feed on the electronic equipment. Vajiramon was seen stuffing his mouth with CDs and stereo parts. Pajiramon lets out a scream that would make nails on a chalkboard sound like a tiny fly. It causes a huge shockwave among the city and the group was covering their ears in sheer pain.
"Ok! I've heard enough of that! Lets go, Veemon!"
["Break Up!" plays]
Davis' D3 shot out a beam of light and it gave Veemon the power to evolve into his champion-level form.
"Veemon Shinka! Xveemon!"
Cody's D3 also shot out a beam of light and it gave Armadillomon the power to evolve into his champion-level form.
"Armadillomon shinka! Ankylomon!"
Izzy's digivice also shot out a beam of light and it gave Tentomon the power to evolve into his champion level form.
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"
The three champions all stood in one spot as they began to power up. There were aura flares around their bodies, which brought a smile to the face of Pajiramon.
[Ankylomon. Armadillomon's Champion form. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Tail Hammer & Megaton Press]
[Kabuterimon. Tentomon's Champion form. Vaccine Type. Special Technique: Electro Shocker]
"So, you three wanna dance? Ok! Lets dance!"
"And you'll be shocked to realize that I can dance with the best of them," Xveemon exclaimed.
"Xveemon! Time to get serious," said Kabuterimon.
"You maybe a ultimate-level but you couldn't beat the three of us!" Ankylomon said.
"We'll see. Show me your great power, traitors," Pajiramon said.
Meanwhile, Terriermon and Renamon both faced off Vajiramon. The bull was looking down upon them while cracking his knuckles.
"So, which one of you weaklings wants to challenge my power?"
"Careful guys. I'm willing to bet that electronic equipment was able to stabilize their bodies. Don't under-estimate them," Takato said, "So they were unstable before."
"Don't worry, we're going to clear their table and send them home packing where they belong," Terriermon assured them.
"Well, I'm waiting! Who will be the first to die?"
Terriermon and Renamon both get into fighting stances and they quickly let out screams. Their bodies exploded with auras surrounding them. Vajiramon smirked and held his hands out as if he were telling them to bring it.
Xveemon goes flying right at Pajiramon first and goes to hammer her away with fists, but Pajiramon was able to maneuver away from each punch being thrown at her. Xveemon flips up and then nails a flying kick to her. Pajiramon ducks under and delivers an uppercut to Xveemon, sending him flying up. Kabuterimon goes for an elbow shot but Pajiramon caught his arm and flips him over. Pajiramon quickly reappears behind him and delivers a mule kick, sending Kabuterimon flying through a nearby building. Ankylomon charges right over to Pajiramon and then goes to use his bulky body to push Pajiramon off of her feet, but to no avail. Pajiramon delivers a head butt that even Ankylomon was unable to overcome. Pajiramon smiles and quickly turns to see Xveemon delivering a spinning heel kick to her, which connected with her face. Xveemon smiles at what he had just done, but then gasps as Pajiramon looks over at him. She delivers a punch, sending Xveemon flying back once again.
"Xveemon! Hold on!"
["Break Up!" ends]
With that said, Davis' D3 reacted it allowed him to merge with his partner.
[Digimon Zero Two Fusion Evolution theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
"Xveemon! Fusion Shinka!"
Within a matter of moments, the two were merged together into a single warrior. The warrior came out of the smoke in a stance.
"Paildramon!"
"A human and a digimon merging together?!" Pajiramon exclaimed. "What a sad day this turned out to be. You're power still is no match for mine!"
"You sure do talk a lot of smack! Time to smack the taste out of your mouth!"
With that said, Paildramon rushes at Pajiramon and wallops her with rapid punches. Pajiramon was taken back by her adversary's resiliency.
"Yeah! Way to nail it to him, Davis!" Takato exclaimed.
"They've merged! This happened last time with Mihiramon," Henry explained.
"He's taking it to her," Rika said. "Damn. Those are going to leave a mark."
Pajiramon was slowly recovering from Paildramon's relentless assault.
"Must not face defeat at the hands of this hybrid…"
"What? You're getting your ass kicked! Face it. I'm a whole different league from you Devas."
"Curse you…"
Vajiramon goes charging right over to Terriermon and goes stomp him, but Terriermon was able to maneuver from each stomp. Renamon leaps up into the air and then crosses her arms to unleash her 'Diamond Storm'. But the diamond barrage was unable to penetrate through Vajiramon. The bull turns around and quickly sends an energy blast that rocks Renamon backwards. Terriermon takes advantage and goes to shoot out his 'Bunny Blast', but Vajiramon quickly nails an elbow shot to his face. Terriermon goes flying back down hard.
Pajiramon turned away from Paildramon and moved directly towards Ankylomon.
"No! Ankylomon!" Paildramon exclaimed. "Look out!"
"So, what's your name, traitor?" Pajiramon asked Ankylomon.
"None of your business, lamp chops!"
"Grr! You're going to regret that!"
Pajiramon delivers a mule kick right to Ankylomon's face. Kabuterimon gets to his feet and then goes flying into the air as he forms an energy ball in his hands.
"Electro Shocker!"
He sends the ball of electricity down over towards Pajiramon, but she quickly pulls out her bow and then shoots out a beam-like arrow canceling out the attack.
"Impossible!"
"I was able to detect your very attack. I call this attack, Treasure Bow."
Paildramon appears in front of Pajiramon and smacks her in the face. The force of his punch sent the Deva crashing through the ground.
"Excuse me! You were saying?" Paildramon stated.
"Deva Blade!"
The ox-like monster managed to take down both Renamon and Terriermon with this very attack. Both fall down to the ground with bruises. Vajiramon slowly walks over towards their fallen bodies with a satisfied look on his face.
"Rika! Lets use our cards! That's the only way that they will stand a chance," said Henry.
"Ok!"
Both of them pulled out their cards and slashed them through their D-Arks.
"Card Slash! Crystal Fire!"
"Card Slash! Thor's Hammer!"
Renamon quickly clasps her hands and then unleashes balls of fire energy. She shoots it out towards Vajiramon. And Terriermon goes to bash the ox with the monstrous hammer. But Vajiramon was quickly able to cancel out the fire with his blade and delivers a head butt to Terriermon.
"Oh no! It didn't work," Takato exclaimed.
"So, that's how the cards work. Wow, if only I had one of those," Paildramon said. "Whew. We got more important matters to attend to! Ankylomon!"
Ankylomon quickly gets to his feet and then goes to swing his tail club right over towards Pajiramon.
"Tail Hammer!"
Pajiramon was able to see it coming as she phases away and sends out a blast at Ankylomon, sending him flying back over crashing into several cars.
"You three shall be honored. You are going to be absorbed by me. I will make sure that I will load each and every single of your data," Pajiramon said.
"No! Kabuterimon!"
As soon as Izzy cried out, his chest began to glow and the symbol of Knowledge was glowing brightly, which gave Kabuterimon the power to evolve into his ultimate-level form.
"Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
[Altur Kabuterimon. Tentomon's Ultimate form. Vaccine Type. Special Technique: Horn Buster]
Pajiramon turned around to see Altur Kabuterimon facing her. He quickly powers up and a huge energy blast comes shooting out from his horn.
"Horn Buster!"
Pajiramon watches as the blast came flying right at her and sending her flying back. Altur Kabuterimon flies right over towards the fallen Pajiramon and goes to attack her head-one, but Pajiramon gets up to her feet and unleashes a thunderstorm. Altur Kabuterimon felt the quake and he loses balance. Pajiramon takes advantage as she hammers away at Altur Kabuterimon.
"Oh no! Taking cheap shots while they're down and you call yourselves warriors?!" exclaimed Paildramon.
Paildramon responds to his partner's pleas and goes flying right over towards the battle. Then crosses his arms and unleashes a barrage of energy blasts right over at Pajiramon.
"Desperado Blaster!"
Pajiramon gets nailed by the impact and allows Paildramon to go flying down towards her. Pajiramon slowly shakes the cobwebs out, but watches as Paildramon delivers a kick to her.
"Hi-yah! Those old Jackie Chan films really helped a lot."
Pajiramon goes flying back onto the ground and the advantage was now on the side of the three Digi-Destined.
But the Tamers were not fairing well as Vajiramon had taken out both Terriermon and Renamon with huge assaults.
"Pajiramon! Remember, we are here to load their data, not to toy with them. That will be a huge mistake on our part if we were to under-estimate them. We must collect as much energy from these traitors and send it back over to the Dark One."
"Just who is this dark one that they are referring to?" asked Takato.
"I don't know and I don't care! Its time to take out the trash," exclaimed Henry.
Henry quickly pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-ark.
"Card Slash! Evolution!"
Evolution!
Henry's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Terriermon's body. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form.
"Terriermon shinka!"
Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms. And a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Gargomon!"
Gargomon goes charging right over towards Vajiramon and attacks him head on with multiple shots from his guns. Vajiramon grabs his sword and spins it around to protect himself from the shots.
"What's the matter? Aren't you going to digivolve? I would just have to hate to load you before I get the chance to see your evolved form," Vajiramon said over to Renamon."
"Pig."
"What did you say?!"
"She said that she wouldn't want a ugly mug like yourself to take a look at her! Now where were we? Oh yeah! Gargo Laser!"
Vajiramon quickly plows through while spinning his sword to block out the shots. He rams his shoulder right into Gargomon and sends him flying back.
"Henry! Here use this card!"
"Thanks!"
Henry takes the card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Hyper Speed!"
"Maybe that should give Gargomon an edge now,"Takato said to himself.
Gargomon goes and attacks Vajiramon with an onslaught firing attack, but Vajiramon quickly sends him down with a kick.
"Gargomon!"
"Now, this is where it ends, traitor. Do you have any lasts words?"
"Yeah, kiss my bunny ass."
"What?! For that, you die, insolent fool!"
Vajiramon goes to rise up his sword and looks right down over at Gargomon straight into his eye.
Back over at the other battle, Pajiramon shoots out three energy blasts, sending both Altur Kabuterimon and Ankylomon down. Paildramon managed to withstand the blasts.
"You guys, okay?" Paildramon asked. "Those blasts only tickled me, Deva!"
"Its time we end this!" exclaimed Pajiramon, "It's been nice knowing you, but orders are orders. Your data is ours."
"No you don't!" Paildramon exclaimed as he readied his blasters.
"Ankylomon!" Cody cried out.
"Altur Kabuterimon!" exclaimed Izzy.
"Henry! Why don't you use the blue card! Maybe we have just this last chance!"
"Are you sure? How do you even know it will even work," asked Henry.
"We won't now until we try!"
"Alright then."
[Tamers Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
Henry pulls out his blue card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Matrix Evolution!"
As soon as that happened, a bright beam of light goes shooting up into the skies and the Tamers all looked on, but saw that it didn't do a thing in Gargomon's favor. Vajiramon was distracted by this and looks up. Henry stands there with a shocked look on his face. Vajiramon turns his attention over to the fallen Gargomon and goes to stab him.
"No! Don't do it," exclaimed Henry.
"I must! It is my duty."
Just then, Takato notices a red beam coming shooting out of nowhere and skyward. He looked and saw the source of the beam, from Calumon himself. The Tamers watched as the beam shone over Gargomon, which now would enable him to evolve into his ultimate-level form.
Matrix Evolution!
"Gargomon shinka!"
A red diamond-shape appears with Calumon's face on it along with Gargomon, who was now beginning to evolve. Gargomon's body transforms from a organic body form straight into a cyborg with metal plates all over his body. It was all green and his arms were now missile launchers. His head was covered in metal plating.
"Rapidmon!"
As soon as Vajiramon was about to impale Gargomon with the sword, he realized that he only managed to stab right through the ground. He looked around and was shocked to see that his adversary was quick enough to dodge his blade. He quickly turns around to see none other than Rapidmon staring him down.
"Whoa! That's Terriermon's ultimate-level form?" Takato asked, "How awesome!"
Rika pulls out her D-Ark and it displayed an image of Rapidmon, not to mention his statistics.
[Rapidmon. Ultimate-level. Warrior type. Special Attacks: Rapid Fire and Tri-Beam.]
"Prodigious!" Izzy remarked. "Just in time!"
"Wow, so this is Matrix Evolution?" Cody said.
"Now we've got another ultimate to our roster," Paildramon stated. "You're in big trouble now, Deva. You're like so totally screwed."
Rapidmon quickly delivers a kick, sending Vajiramon flying back. Then Rapidmon quickly reappears behind Vajiramon and delivers another spinning heel kick to the Deva.
"He shoots and scores!" Rapidmon exclaimed.
"How dare you! Quit trying to make a fool of us, Devas!"
"Well, looks like I've already have, beefcake! Rapid Fire!"
Rapidmon shoots out lighting fast missiles that sent Vajiramon down to his knees.
"Yeah! Bow to your master!"
As soon as Pajiramon was about to make her move, Rapidmon quickly phases right in front of her.
"Going somewhere?!"
"You! Take this!"
Pajiramon shoots out her 'Treasure Bow' attack but Rapidmon was able to maneuver away from each arrow being shot over at him with ease. Rapidmon quickly phases out and appears in the sky above.
"Whoa! That guy is radical!" Paildramon said.
"He should have enough power to beat him," Izzy said, "He's got those two already weakened as we speak!"
"Well, well. Looks like I might have a worthy opponent at last," said Pajiramon, "Now which one of you humans will be my shield?"
"None of them! Time to serve us some lamb chops!"
With that said, Rapidmon quickly powers up and an aura forms around him. Then he forms a triangular shape and holds it out. He looks down at the two Devas and then shoots it out with tremendous force.
"Tri-Beam!"
The Devas watched as the tri-beam went right through them and quickly disintegrated both Vajiramon and Pajiramon. Their screams were heard amongst the town but were next to nothing as soon as they were vaporized.
"Alright! We did it!" exclaimed Takato.
"Way to go, Rapidmon!" Henry said.
["Evo" ends]
The other Digi-Destined sighed as relief as their digimon quickly reverted to their rookie forms. Davis and Veemon were powered down from their fusion form. They rushed over towards the Tamers and acknowledged them.
"Great work, Tamers. Looks like Tai and Kari were right about you. You're a very resourceful team," said Izzy, "We too are Digi-Destined."
Rapidmon quickly lands onto the ground as three rookies look around him as if he were an exhibit.
"Wow! I wish I had armor like you!" Veemon said.
"Ha. Ha. Well, this is my special armor. You can't buy them anywhere else."
"Well, we now know what we have in store for us next time," Takato said, "But thanks for backing us up there, guys."
The three Digi-Destined nodded.
"Not a problem. You can count on us, or vice versa," Cody assured them, "But next time, it just may not be that easy."
They all nodded in agreement as they carried on their conversation concerning the Devas.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, Riley and Talley were quick to realize that one of the Wild Ones were still out in the city of West Shinjuku.
"They've both just disappeared," said Yamaki. "Looks like we've caught some footage of other wild ones. I've never seen them before."
"Sir, I'm still getting a reading on one of them," Riley reported.
With that said, a large pair of data regrouped and formed a body. Vajiramon managed to reappear in another section in West Shinjuku, despite the Tamers' and Digi-Destined's hopeful attempt.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's apartment home, Mr. Wong managed to catch up with Henry as they talked inside Henry's room. Mr. Wong looks over to Terriermon with a smile on his face.
"Terriermon. I would like to say thank you for saving my life earlier today."
"Well I had to. You are Henry's dad."
"Dad, I'm sorry for not telling you about this sooner," Henry said, "Its really hard to keep a secret this long and you took it a lot better than I thought you ever would.
"I understand completely. Plus, there's something that I haven't told you either. And it's time that I should. About twenty years ago, a couple of my old college friends and myself got together to do some designing on a voluntary computer project, and though we were just doing for fun, we needed up creating the first digimon. We were creating artificial life forms on the computer and even figured out that a way to install a survival-instinct mechanism, which functioned just like it does in wild animals but nobody, expected a bunch of college students to have such incredible results. We were actually able to give the creatures each individual personalities and fighting abilities. Unfortunately, we never even got to see the final version of them as the sponsors cut the funding as their biggest breakthroughs happened, and the project dried up. Thus all the Digimon games that my friends and I play with were based on a research project that was never completed, and we never got credit for."
"Hmm. That really stinks."
"But it was a long time ago," Mr. Wong assured him, "At least our project wasn't wasted, now kids all over the world have something fun to play with. Terriermon, what do you know about the blue card? When I analyzed it, I noticed Shibumi's code appeared in the data. You have any idea of might could have done that?"
"Hey. You said yesterday that they were just meaningless data," Henry said.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere and out on the night streets, Rika and Renamon both come face-to-face with Vajiramon. Rika looks on with shock on her face and couldn't believe that Vajiramon was able to survive.
"You?! I thought you were dead."
Vajiramon points over to Renamon and the neon-colored fox nodded in agreement.
"I understand…"
With that said, Renamon goes walking up towards Vajiramon.
"What's going on, Renamon?"
"It's Vajiramon. He wants to talk to me."
"That is correct."
"She can talk right here!"
"Silence! You ungrateful human."
"Sorry but Renamon is not going! We don't trust you."
"Rika, you need to let me do this. I need to speak with him."
"But, how can we possibly trust him?"
"I have questions that only he can answer. I won't be gone for very long."
"What kind of questions?" asked Rika.
"I promise to explain everything when I return."
Renamon then walks off with Vajiramon as they were walking towards a path into a nearby digital field. Rika looks with worry and hope that her partner would eventually return unharmed.
"It looks like I'll just have to trust in Renamon this time."
But little did she realize that she was watched by the two figures that had confronted the other Tamers. The blue-skinned young man and his panda follower were looking on, just before they both phased away to remain hidden from the Tamer girl.
***************************************************************************************
The dark figure with the 'D' marking on his forehead appeared on top of a water tower. His eyes were crimson for him to see clearly through the darkness.
"Excellent. Now Vajiramon will persuade her to join our elite. The master will be pleased."
**************************************************************************************
Twenty-four hours have passed and everything wasn't going very well for Rika. It all started when Renamon left with Vajiramon. All Rika could ever think about was the safety of her digimon partner and could only hope for her to return eventually.
"Renamon. It's a day already and I'm beginning to wonder if something bad happened to you. But you said yourself that you would return and make good on your promise."
"Rika!"
The red-hair girl turned around to see her own mother looking down at her with a smile on her face.
"I hope that dress suits you well, dear."
"Ugh. You mean this ugly ol' thing? Why did I have to do this photo shoot for? I told that I don't like wearing these dresses."
"Young lady, that is a designer's blouse. And I just talked to the photography director. The shoot is going to start in a few minutes."
Just then, the photography director comes walking in with a matching hat for Rika's outfit and handed it to her.
"Now, lets how you look with that hat on. Show us a smile too."
Rika placed the hat on her head and a small frown came across her face. She then faked a smile.
"Oh. Now that is just gorgeous, Rika! Are you ready for the shoot?"
"Oh yeah. I'm so excited," Rika said while rolling her eyes.
As soon as the photo shoot got started, Rika was standing in the middle of a gray background while looking over at the camera.
"Alright Rika! Show us that smile! You just look gorgeous."
After giving off a smile, several cameras were flashing all over her surroundings, which caused her to get distracted and irritated. She growled and looks over at the camera that was standing right in front of her. As soon as it was about to shoot another picture, she pushes the camera away and runs out of the studio.
"Hey, where are you going?!"
"Rika Nonaka! You get back here, immediately!"
Rika goes running out of the studio and tosses the hat onto the ground. She goes walking off onto the streets with an angry look on her face.
"I can't believe I was forced to undergo through all of that torture! Smile at the camera?! Give me a break! I rather get eaten by a snake than put up with that crap again."
*************************************************************************************
TK and Kari were sitting on their couch as Davis and Cody was telling them everything that occurred at Akihabara. They heard about the Devas invading and Rapidmon's evolution.
"So, Terriermon finally digivolved?" TK asked.
"Yeah and that little dude had it in him!" Davis said. "He wiped out those two Devas like they were nothing!"
"Amazing. So he just digivolved and took care of them that quickly?" Kari asked.
"Like we said before," Cody stated. "You should have seen it. It was insane."
"Let's just be glad that you guys managed to clean up those Devas' act," Gatomon stated.
"All that's left is Renamon. Something tells me that she'll reach ultimate-level sooner than we think," TK said. "But that all depends on Rika…"
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's apartment home, the Tamer boys were discussing the issue going on between Vajiramon and Renamon. Plus they were starting to worry over Renamon's disappearance from several days ago.
"It's been days since Renamon left with Vajiramon. I wonder what's keeping her so long," wondered Takato.
"What I want to know is who those two mysterious people were and how would they know so much about us."
"We can just always ask them and force them to talk," Terriermon said.
"That's not the way I wanted to get some answers. But you know what, that just might work."
"But we really have to hope that Renamon returns. I can't imagine ho Rika is going through with all of this."
"No matter how much she doesn't want to admit. I know deep down inside, she really misses her," Takato said, "Heck. I would feel the same way if I had lost Guilmon."
"Maybe your right. I guess we're just over exaggerating over this whole ordeal," said Henry, "I guess Renamon wanted to understand something about Tamers from a Deva's point of view."
**************************************************************************************
Rika was standing over at the West Shinjuku Bridge and looking over her D-Ark. She was hoping to get an energy signal from Renamon, but thus far, nothing has happened and it only made Rika worry even more.
"Renamon. Where could you be? I just hope you can live up your promise."
The girl sighed and then goes walking down the bridge and heads back for home. Now she feels rejected by her own digimon.
"She left me. I just know she left me."
Rika walks down the street and could only think of much Renamon meant to her, but now, she wasn't sure if she can trust Renamon. She felt as though her own digimon partner had left her out in the cold.
***************************************************************************************
Later that night, Rika's mother was upset over what her own daughter had done earlier in the photo shoot. She felt embarrassed and hurt to say the least.
"I can't believe that my own daughter would do this to me. She left and it totally embarrassed me. I've never felt so humiliated in my life."
"Dear, maybe she didn't want that camera test," Rika's grandmother said, "You just can't force that upon her."
"You think so?"
"I know so. She didn't want that camera test. You did. You have to let Rika decide for herself and she will figure out what's best for herself."
"Maybe you're right. Maybe I shouldn't push her for things she doesn't feel comfortable with."
Just then, the front door opened and Rika was walking in while putting her shoes away. Rika walks in and turns around to see her own mother confronting her with a serious look.
"Young lady, what you did earlier today was childish. I demand a apology from you."
"Well, I don't feel like owing you anything."
Rika simply walks past her mother and towards her room. Rika's mother looks on and could only stand much from her own daughter.
"What am I going to do with that young lady?"
************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's apartment, Terriermon was looking out the window and his ears lift up as if he were picking up an energy signal. He goes over and gets Henry's attention.
"Henry. It's him. I can feel his ki level."
"Who, Vajiramon?"
"No! Santa Claus!"
"Ha. Ha. Funny. So, where is he?"
"He's not very far from here. We can get there as soon as possible, but we are going to need both Rika and Takato. Especially Rika."
"You're right. No telling if Renamon had also returned."
"Lets go."
Henry nods and lifts Terriermon up as they both headed out of the apartment. First, they would go get both Rika and Takato and lead them over to their destination. Henry calls up Rika through his cell phone and gets an answer from the red-hair girl.
"Rika! Terriermon felt an enormous energy level and predicts that Vajiramon might have returned with Renamon. Go check it out. We'll meet you over there."
"I'm on my way!"
Henry then goes and dials up Takato's number to get a hold of him.
"I just we get there as soon as possible and lets hope for our sake that Renamon is over there."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, Riley and Talley were having a friendly conversation amongst each other about each other's daily lives.
"So, how was your day off yesterday," asked Talley.
"Same as always. I really need to lose some weight, cause my uniform is starting to tear up and I need the perfect figure to really fit in this suit."
"Your lucky. You seem to always get a day off every now and then."
"I guess I work hard. I really deserve those breaks."
"But I work just as hard as you."
"Don't get your underpants all bunged up, I was just making a point…"
But just as soon as she was about to finish her statement, the alarm went off and every worker was running around the place. This could only mean one thing and that would be the location of a bio-emergence.
"Ugh, isn't there ever going to be a peaceful day around here," Talley remarked.
The two women ran upstairs and met up with Yamaki as they returned to their positions to begin locating the recent bio-emergence.
"When will this hellish nightmare stop," Yamaki said to himself.
"We're sending down a tracer over the bio-emergence now," said Riley.
"Stand by," replied Talley, "It is located over at the local stadium and the bio-emergence is imminent."
"There's nothing we can do but all we can do is locate their positions. Even if we try the tracer, they will always bio-emerge. This is nothing more than becoming a major nuisance. There has to be a way to stop these things," Yamaki said.
***************************************************************************************
Suddenly, there was a digital field forming in the stadium, which could mean only one thing. Vajiramon was now returning back into the real world where he would meet up with Renamon as they plan to negotiate. Vajiramon looked across his surroundings and felt an energy presence. He turned around to see none other Renamon appearing. The neon-colored fox jumps and flips from the very top of the stadium. She lands right in front of Vajiramon.
They looked at each face-to-face with serious looks on their faces. Vajiramon was the first to speak.
"Welcome Renamon. Your presence is nothing more than poetry in motion."
"Cut with the complements. What are we here for?"
"I am here to talk. Renamon, I am here to tell you about your destiny."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Henry was riding his bicycle over towards the stadium with Terriermon on his back. They both turned to see Rika on her bicycle.
"So, are you sure that Renamon could be at the stadium?"
"That's what Terriermon told me when felt Vajiramon's power level. Wherever he will be, Renamon won't be too far from there."
"I just have a bad feeling. What if she betrays us."
"Rika. You know Renamon better than that. She won't turn her back on us and join the Deva Elite. I can guarantee you that."
"Yeah, besides, she's much too stubborn to fall for that," Terriermon replied.
"True. But lets get there as soon as possible. And where's goggle head?"
"I called him and he would meet us over. But I better get my digivice and find his location."
As soon as he looked at his digivice, he found a dot beeping and that could only mean one thing, Takato was close by with Guilmon. They weren't very far.
"He's close by. But we better get a peddling and hurry."
With that said, the Tamers peddled harder on their bikes, in hopes of reaching over towards Takato and the stadium as quickly as possible.
**************************************************************************************
Renamon and Vajiramon confronted each other as they had theirs locked onto one another. Vajiramon was the first to speak.
"Renamon. I ask of you to abandon your ways with humans and join us to vanish human kind with the help of our master, the Dark One. With your potential, we will gather as much energy needed from this realm and deliver it to our master."
"And this Dark One you speak of. Who is he? I've never heard of him."
"For many years, he's sought and brought many of the strongest digimon under his control and he sent us Devas to gather energy from this realm. Once we gather as much energy needed for our master's needs, we will deliver it to him and he will use to his advantage to release a being that will go into the human world and destroy it so us digimon can have complete power over the two worlds."
"Is that so?"
"Yes and we ask of you to join us. Please, this is for your own good. We don't have to pummel each other into oblivion. What do you say?"
The three Tamers made it over towards the stadium as the heard a conversation going on between both Vajiramon and Renamon. Rika was the first to hear Renamon and goes over to see the two digimon confronting each other.
"Renamon! I see her."
"And there's Vajiramon," said Henry.
"Tell me. Why do you have an utter and deep hatred for humans?" Vajiramon asked.
"Because you are a worthy servant for the Dark One. The humans that created us also abandoned us. But the Dark One managed to save us. He believes that the digimon should take what was rightfully ours and that is control power over the real world. But I was ordered to stop this from happening."
"I knew it! Its a conspiracy to take over the two worlds," exclaimed Takato, "Guilmon! I say we take this bull down by the horns!"
"Terriermon, go!"
But just as soon as the two rookies were about to go out into the battle, Calumon appears out of nowhere and hops down the stadium stairs as he lands right in between both Vajiramon and Renamon.
"Hi, Renamon. What are ya doing here? Looks like you two are having a good time. You want to play?"
"Is this another human pet that managed to betray us digimon?" Vajiramon asked angrily.
"You really need to light up," said Calumon.
"Calumon. You shouldn't be here. Get out as soon as possible."
"Hey, can I ride on your back?" Calumon asked Vajiramon.
But he soon got his answer as Vajiramons stomped down in front of Calumon and caused him to go flying back. Vajiramon goes chasing after Calumon.
"Alright! That does it! Guilmon! Time for action!"
"Right!"
Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-in S!"
Evolution!
"Guilmon shinka!"
Guilmon felt his body starting to change and his energy level increasing. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form, which would be his champion-leveled form. Now Guilmon was larger with a much more broad and heavy body. He has a patch of white hair on his head. However, he looked much too similar to his rookie form, but has a higher power level as far as he was concerned. He stands while blowing fire from out of his nose. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Growlmon!"
Growlmon goes charing over towards Vajiramon and allowed Calumon time to fly away. Growlmon wrenches back and then executes his Dragon Slasher on the Deva. But Vajiramon managed to cross his arms and block out his adversary's attack. Vajiramon powers up as an aura surrounded him. He goes and knocks Guilmon away with a shoulder takedown with tremendous force.
Rika and Renamon looked over towards each other, as if they were already missing each other. But they soon turned their attention back over towards the battleground. Calumon ran over towards the Tamers as Henry looks over to Terriermon.
"I'm on it, Henry!"
Henry pulls out a card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-in S!"
Evolution!
"Terriermon shinka!"
His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his new form. Now Terriermon was a tall, pant-wearing rabbit-like digimon with two chain guns on each arm, in fact, they were his new arms. And a green facemask covered his face. He gets into a fighting pose and whips out a belt and places it over his chest, which had bullets on them, which would be his ammunition for his two chain guns. Finally, he calls out to his new name.
"Gargomon!"
Gargomon points his guns over towards Vajiramon as he began to fire away a barrage of multiple shots, but they were ineffective against Vajiramon's armor. As soon as Vajiramon made his move over towards the two champions, Renamon jumps up and then crosses her arms to unleash her 'diamond storm' attack. The ultimate-level felt the diamond nailing from behind and turned to see Renamon in the air.
"You just used me to get information didn't you?! You little traitor."
"Who said I ever was going to accept your offer. My loyalty stands with Rika and not for your master. You can tell the Dark One that I'm not interested."
"Wretched wench!"
"Bite me."
"You're making a mistake! If you work for the Dark One, just imagine how much unlimited power that you would have in your possession. But now I will just have to kill you for your betrayal!"
As soon as Vajiramon was charging over towards Renamon, Rika quickly pulls out a card and then slashes it through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-in S!"
Evolution!
[Tamers first "Evolution" theme plays]
"Renamon shinka!"
The fox's body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her new form, which would be her champion-leveled form. Now Renamon was Quadra pedal and a pair of nine tails was in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpine-like, but retained of her Renamon features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her new name.
"Kyuubimon!"
Now it was down to three champions against one powerful ultimate-level Deva. Vajiramon looked across his adversaries and then turns to face the now evolved Kyuubimon.
"Take this! Fox Tail Inferno!"
Kyuubimon shoots out several fiery attacks over towards Vajiramon, but he quickly intercepts them with several ki-blasts as he begins charging over towards her. Vajiramon picks up Vajiramon with his horns and throws her backwards, but Kyuubimon lands on her feet.
Rika pulls out yet another card and the slashes it right through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Power Charger!"
As soon as that happened, Kyuubimon felt her energy increasing and a huge aura forms around her. Vajiramon felt the ground shaking as he looks over towards Kyuubimon giving him a possessed look.
"Dragon Wheel!"
Kyuubimon spins herself into a fiery, spiral dragon as she goes to nail Vajiramon head-one, but Vajiramon quickly intercepts by blocking it out with his swords.
["Evolution" ends]
Takato pulls out a card of his own and slashes it through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Hyperspeed!"
Growlmon powers up and then unleashes a super fast Pyro Blaster but Vajiramon quickly saw it coming and slashed through with his swords. It failed.
Henry slashes another card through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Energy Card!"
Gargomon charges over at Vajiramon and goes to nail him with a super uppetcut followed by a combination of the Bunny Pummel but Vajiramon easily punches Gargomon away with tremendous force. There was no luck and all the champions were weakened, except Kyuubimon of course.
"Its just down to Kyuubimon. Rika, you got to help her out!" exclaimed Takato.
"C'mon, he's about to make his move onto her," said Henry, "Plus our digimon don't have enough energy left to harness."
Vajiramon slowly goes approaching towards Kyuubimon with a sneer on his face. The champion looks over at him. The 'D' on Vajiramon's forehead was starting to glow and Vajiramon's energy was increasing once again. Kyuubimon goes charging over at Vajiramon and attacks him with her tail, but Vajiramon easily catches her and throws her down.
"You could have had power, but you wasted the opportunity! You're no warrior. Your all pretty and no punch!"
Vajiramon begins fighting her with his swords, which allows Vajiramon time to phase behind her and execute a mule kick to her. Kyuubimon goes flying back. Rika could only look on with shock and fear.
"Renamon. No! I've got to do something right away or you could die."
"Any last words before I send you into eternal limbo?"
"Yeah! I've got something to say!" a transmixed voice called out.
"Who's there?!"
"Static Force!"
Vajiramon turned and was blasted in the face by a powerful blast. The ox deva looked up and saw a levitating figure. This warrior had a feather-like body with a belt-buckle around it's waist, cat-like ears and a visor around it's face.
"Who is that?!" Takato exclaimed.
"Don't worry! It's just us!" the figure called out. "It's me, Hawkmon and Yolei. We're the fusion form of those two!"
"Yolei?!" Henry exclaimed.
"We sensed your presence and we've figured this Deva was up to no good!"
"Thanks, Yolei and Hawkmon!" Growlmon called out.
"Just call us, Silphymon."
[Silphymon. Ultimate level fusion. Data Type. Special Technique: Static Force]
Just then, something was glowing in Rika's handful of cards. She looked down to see what she couldn't believe what she just saw. It was a blue card.
"A blue card?! Where did it? Unreal…"
"Use it, Rika! Its your last shot!" exclaimed Silphymon.
Rika turns to face him and nods. She goes and slashes it through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Matrix Evolution!"
[Tamers Evolution theme "Evo" plays]
The D-Ark began to glow and Calumon's little triangle began to glow at the same time as the energy was quickly sent straight over towards Kyuubimon. Vajiramon is quickly blinded by the slight and shields his eyes.
Matrix Evolution!
Just then, a diamond-like shape appears with Calumon in the center of it and Kyuubimon's body starts to morph.
"Kyuubimon! Matrix shinka!"
Her four-legged body began to transform as she leaps up and a full moon started to appear in the background. She looked up, as her face was now a fox-mask with a kimono-like outfit on. Plus she was once again bipedal much like her rookie form. She spins around and then poses in front of the full moon as she shouts out her name.
"Taomon!"
The Tamers all looked on in shock and amazement at what they just saw. Taomon was standing right in front of Vajiramon with a serious look on her face.
"Whoa. That's so cool," Takato said, "That used to be Kyuubimon?"
Henry pulls out his D-Ark and then gets a reading on the newly evolved Taomon. An image of her appears with statistics on her.
[Taomon. Ultimate-level. Special Attacks: Talisman of Light and Thousand Spells.]
"Oh yeah, she has an advantage over Vajiramon now. We're winning this battle after all."
"This battle belongs to Taomon," Silphymon stated.
"You digivolved, but you digivolved into something similar to a human. How can you represent something just as vile and disgusting?" Vajiramon asked.
"I don't care what you think of me. I stick to Rika's stand and nothing will separate us apart. Now, if we're through chit-chatting, lets get this over with."
"It would be my pleasure traitor! If you won't side with us, I have no choice but to kill you."
"Thousand Spells!"
Vajiramon goes charging over towards Taomon and blocking out her attacks with his blades.
"You've gotten stronger but not strong enough to put me away. Deva Blade!"
Vajiramon goes and slashes at Taomon with his sword, but she easily blocks them out with her sleeves, which catches Vajiramon by surprise. He doesn't realize that he was completely outmatched in every other way.
"Why did you go with me at first? I don't understand it."
"I only wanted information. But now that I have them, you can just leave."
Taomon goes flipping back over the Deva and Vajiramon turned to face her. He pulls out his blades and tosses them over at her.
"Deva Blade!"
Taomon saw the blades coming over at her and easily dodges after phasing out. Vajiramon growled under his breath as he turned around to see Taomon looking down upon him. Vajiramon drew out his swords again and then tosses them over at her. Taomon manages to phase away again like before, which infuriated Vajiramon further.
"Its time to end this. Your hatred for the humans shall be your downfall."
With that said, Taomon pulls out a large brush and then paints a sign in the air, a Kanji-like symbol.
"Talisman of Light!"
Vajiramon could only stand as the writing came flying towards him at the speed of light. Vajiramon didn't have time to draw his sword nor block as the symbol went right through him.
"No! How could this be?! No!"
Vajiramon screams out as he quickly explodes into data. Taomon hovers down to the ground and turns towards the Tamers. They all sighed a relief over Vajiramon's defeat but the digimon were too tired to even celebrate. But Calumons aw this as another victory and went hopping along.
"Culu! We did it! Culu!"
"We put my friend," replied Silphymon.
["Evo" ends]
Rika looked over towards Taomon as a small smirk forms across her face.
Watching from above, a silver-haired boy with dog-like ears and a red cloaked suit was astonished by the battle. He held his sword around his sheath.
"Kagome never told me anything about this. Too bad. They look like demons. I should get Kagome to tell me about these things. Damn, where the hell could she be?"
**************************************************************************************
After bidding her farewell, Silphymon fell off into the night skies while the full moon was becoming visible. The digital field quickly disappeared and everybody left for home, except for Rika. The young girl looks up at Renamon with a smile on her face.
"I was very pleased with your recent evolution. You've gotten a lot stronger and I'm proud."
"Thank you, Rika. That means so much to hear you say that. Besides I had to do what I did to get a better understanding of the Deva and investigate their motives. This Dark One seems very powerful if he was able to bring these digimon to his control."
"I'm just glad that you took the initiative to get to know a Deva better and you look so heroic in the moonlight as Taomon. Well, I better be going. Goodnight, Renamon."
"Yes, goodnight. Rika."
As soon as Rika went peddling away on her bike, Renamon was looking up into the moonlight as if she were apart of it when she was Taomon. But little did she realize that she was being watched. These two have been watching the recent Deva battles. It was the ones who confronted Tai, Takato, Kari and Henry.
"Are they the ones we seek?" asked the panda.
"Yes, and soon we will find out just how powerful these Tamers really are. But its Tai Kamiya that concerns me. Don't worry, we shall have our day once this Deva infestation ends," replied the blue-skinned young man.
Now that we realize what the true motives of the Devas are, do we even know what the true motives of the two mysterious fighters are? And is Rika starting to become much nicer than usual? What will go down next?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Indramon's Horn of Desolation! The Card Out of the Blue!
The Shinjuku Central Park is just as peaceful and quiet as ever. Now Devas have been attacking as of late. So this gave the Tamers a chance to strategize their plans and think of an off to combat against the next unsuspecting deva appearance. But they realized that each deva that has appeared have been much stronger than the last.
Rika, Henry and Takato were discussing this issue over at the park, while Jeri, Kazu and Kenta were playing with Guilmon and splashing water on him. Guilmon was able to splash water back over at them. He splashes water over at Kazu and Jeri, while Kenta stood there laughing. But that would not last long as Guilmon lifts his tail and then slashes water onto Kenta, which made the other two children laugh.
Just on the other side, The Tamers, along with Terriermon and Renamon, were standing by the trees while discussing the deva issue.
"Those Devas keep popping out everywhere. I wonder why they such a vendetta against us. Why did they even want to fight the digimon and nothing else?" Henry pondered.
"Well, its our job as Tamers to stop these Devas," replied Takato.
"Ugh. That's so ridiculous. Why does it have to be just us that have to stop them? Why can't you two go work with those Digi-dodoes to help you? I'm expecting something better for a challenge," said Rika.
"Well, it's going to be impossible if we leave the Devas to continue their destructive wave of terror. This Dark One they foretell is really serious about destroying humankind," said Renamon.
"Hey, Takato! Come in and play with us! You're making us look bad over here," Kazu cried out.
"Come and get wet! You look so lost over there," Kenta said.
"I'll be there in a minute," said Takato, "You want to join us, Henry?"
"Sorry, but, I got other things to do. I'll catch you later, ok?"
Henry goes walking off with Terriermon following at his side. The goggle boy looks over at Rika.
"What about you, you…"
But as soon as he was about to finish asking his questions, Rika simply goes walking off as if she were already saying that she 'didn't want to play'. Takato looks back over towards the lake where Guilmon and the other three children were playing.
"Watch out, guys! I'm coming in!"
Watching from high above a tree branch, Impmon was looking down at them with a very bored look on his face. He couldn't stand seeing Guilmon being used as a pet towards the children, as he likes to call them. They were just pets in his view.
"Jeez. Just how long are they going to keep this act up? I'm about to hurl over here!"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back over at TK's apartment, the pehone rang and TK went over to pick it up.
"Hello. Takaishi and Kamiya residence. TK speaking."
"Wow, little bro. You still haven't learned have you."
"Matt?! Is that really you?!"
"You bet. Mimi and I are just arriving back from our tour. I discussing this with Mimi and we wanted to know if we could stop by in town to visit. You know to see ya'll and to catch up on things. We haven't seen each other for a long while anyway."
"We sure haven't. You're more than welcome to come by for a visit. Kari and I will be here practically all day."
"So. Did you get by third base and made the home run yet?"
"Huh?"
"C'mon. You even said that you would get by third base since the last time we saw each other. So, how did she like it?"
"Oh, yeah. Third base. Lets just say, that I've already made a couple of 'homeruns' over these past couple of months."
"Man, TK! You're such a pimp! Ha! I never knew you had it in you!"
"Neither did I."
"Well, you and Kari are going to get a huge surprise once we get there. You'll be flipped."
"Well. I'm looking forward to that. So, is your hair still the same or did you have to cut it?"
"Leave the hair out, dude. Besides, rock stars really need to keep their hair and Mimi is really enjoying the tours. I never knew that she would become a fan of rock music. Your going to notice some changes in Mimi once we get there."
"Well, just stop by anytime. We'll be waiting. I'll tell Kari the good news."
"Alright man. Keep in touch and keep nailing those 'home runs'. Later."
"See ya."
TK hangs up the phone and Patamon flies over towards him.
"Who was that TK?"
"That was Matt. Him and Mimi are going to stop by and visit. They just got back from a big tour," said TK.
"Cool. That means Palmon and Gabumon are coming over too."
"Oh yeah. I really need to talk to Palmon. We haven't seen each other in ages," said Gatomon, "I wonder how she's doing."
"Did you just say Matt and Mimi are coming over," Kari asked.
"Yeah and they're coming from a big tour. Isn't that just great?"
"That's great, TK. We should really have a big Digi-Destined dinner, what do you say?"
"Sounds great. We should decide what we should make though."
"How about some of that homemade pizza that I made a couple of weeks ago?"
"Cool, but this time let's leave out the anchovies."
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Impmon was seen jumping onto nearby rooftop houses with a huge smirk on his face. He was bouncing from rooftop onto rooftop, but little did he realize that he was being followed. Calumon was the culprit following him. Impmon stops at his tracks and then turns around to face Calumon with an angry look on his face.
"Would you quit following me?! You little puff-cheeked butterball!"
"I was just going to see what you were doing. Looks like your looking for some people to play with."
"Yeah, play with humans, that just makes so retch…"
But just as he was about to finish up his sentence, he could hear a low laugh coming from another direction. He turns towards a nearby parking lot and could hear more dark laughter. He sees a digital field forming and goes over to see who was laughing.
"Who's laughing at me?! C'mon show yourself! Al right! I'm coming over there myself!"
Impmon hops over several rooftops in order to make it over towards the parking lot and jumps right through the digital field. He lands onto the ground and then looks towards the figure that was laughing at him.
"Who's in there?! Come out and show yourself, coward! You were laughing at me. Who are you? Aren't you going to face me!"
"You mean me?"
Impmon looks right up at what seemed to be a horse, but this one was as tall as a small house. It was purple and had a shell on his back. He continued to give a low chuckle, which infuriated Impmon even more.
"Would you stop doing that already?! Jackass!"
**************************************************************************************
Joe was taking an hour break after a class he had. He looked at his watch and had plenty of time to get a bite to eat. Gomamon stuck his head through Joe's backpack.
"Ack! Can't breathe! Why don't these packs get zippers which leaves holes to breath through?"
"You know I can't let my fellow classmates take a look at you."
"I don't know. Those girls might jump all over this cute lil thing. Why don't you introduce me to any of these girls?!"
"For obvious seasons. They'll think you're too adorable."
"Hey, can you blame them?"
Suddenly, Joe's digivice started reacting. He looked through it and was picking up a signal reading. Gomamon felt an uneasy ki from a hear distance. His fur was starting to stand at its ends.
"What's wrong, Gomamon?"
"I'm sensing a really strong power. It's got to be another Deva. TK and Kari told us to keep an eye out for these things."
"That's right. They told us last night."
"Let's go check this one out! Last one there has to clean up the house!"
Gomamon scurries off towards the Deva's location. Joe ran to catch up to his digimon partner.
"Hey, wait up! You run pretty fast when you get excited."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, inside the underground cyberspace, the people were now tracking down signals coming from a Wild One, which happened to be the horse creature.
"Sir, we're picking up several huge signal readings from that just recently came from the Juggernaut core."
"Riley? Are you getting anymore readings on this anomaly?!"
"No, its already bio-emerged and it seems as though this Wild One isn't alone. There's signal coming from another one."
"Another one?!"
***************************************************************************************
The horse looks right down over towards Impmon with a sneer. Impmon could only look up and gulp, but he kept his fears to himself and didn't want the horse to sense his fear. The horse continues on laughing.
"Would you just stop laughing at me?!"
"I'm laughing for a good reason. I just can't stop laughing at such a pitiful digimon you turned out to be."
"You take that back!"
"I just don't see why you are unable to digivolve since you already have a human at your side, traitor."
Impmon gasps and then looks back to the old days when he was an actual partner to two little twins.
Flashback
The twins looked over at each other angrily and were tugging on Impmon as if it was a contest of tug of war, and Impmon was used as the rope in this situation. The twins were arguing on who should have authority and ownership over Impmon, but they seem to not want to compromise this time around.
"Impmon is mine," the boy exclaimed.
"No, he's mine! I saw him first," the girl replied angrily.
"Finders keepers. He's with me. He's mine!"
"Impmon, you better tell him that you're mine."
"Take it back. You tell her that you're mine."
"Impmon! Impmon!"
"Impmon!"
"Ack! Knock it off!"
End of Flashback
Impmon gasps even further and then sniffs himself. The horse simply laughs at him and was able to smell the stench of human order coming from Impmon, which brought the final conclusion that Impmon was hanging around with humans.
"You got a human partner, but yet, you are still unable to digivolve. Well its too bad, you'll never be able to digivolve. Never."
Impmon could only look over at the giant with angry fueling in his eyes and his fists clenching. There was a low growl coming from Impmon as he punches the ground.
"Stop it! I don't want to listen to you anymore! You better butt out of my life. I'm not the human lover that you claim for me to be."
Just then, both Rika and Renamon made it over towards the Digital Field in time as they saw both Impmon and the horse confronting each other.
"Another Deva? Lets check this guy out."
Rika pulls out her D-Ark and then quickly gets a hologram image of the horse, plus several statistics on him.
[Indramon. Ultimate-level. Deva. Special Attack: Horn of Desolation]
Joe and Gomamon found the Digital Field. Gomamon peered through the fog and sensed two digimon. The curious sea mammal scurries through the Digital Field.
"Wait! You don't know what might be in there! Man, I need to jog a little more."
"Who the heck is that guy?" Rika asked. "It must be another one of the Digi-Destined…"
Gomamon finds himself in a confrontation between Impmon and the Deva. He looks across and notices Renamon.
"Just what the heck is this?" Gomamon asked. "I really need to get out more."
"Well. It seems that you brought friends and pathetic human along. I must say. You sure can defend yourself, weakling," Indramon said.
"These two digi-poodles are just here to watch me pummel you into oblivion! You just better watch your mouth, mule face!"
"Who's he calling a digi-poodle?!" Gomamon thought.
"Ha. We shall meet again."
With that said, Indramon slowly vanished into the digital field and he managed to say a few words just before he was departing away from the battleground.
"You do not belong here in this plane of existence, weakling. We shall meet again."
Impmon looks on as the digital field floated away and he growled under his breathe. He turns around to face Renamon and Gomamon with an angry look on his face.
"Yo, fox-face! You and that human friend should have not come here! I was about to fight him alone! I don't need your help! This was none of your business. The same goes for you too, pee-wee!"
"Pee-Wee? At least, I didn't get punked out like you did," Gomamon snapped. "Pee-Wee, my butt."
"I'll have to agree with him, Impmon. You did get punked out. You're simply a rookie. You are not even strong enough to battle a powerful deva such as Indramon. You can't digivolve."
"Who ever heard of a digimon that doesn't digivolve?" Gomamon replied.
"Who freaking cares?! I'm out of here!"
Impmon goes jumping up and over a nearby fence as he goes heading out leaving both Renamon and Gomamon behind. He managed to shout out something before leaving.
"I will prove to the world that I am the strongest!"
"Is he delirious? Does he really think that he can become the strongest?" Rika asked.
"Either that or he's got a serious case of paranoia," Joe said.
"That's his opinion and in his mind, he thinks he's the most powerful being in two worlds. I say we just let him believes at who he is. But reality will come back to strike him."
"Like they say, lightning tends to strike you twice," Gomamon remarked.
"I don't think that's how it goes," Joe said. "Oh by the way, you're that Rika girl, right?"
"Yeah and why do you care? You're one of those Digi-Destined, aren't you?"
"Whoa. Whoa. Some attitude you got there. Yeah, I'm a Digi-Destined. This is Gomamon. He's a bit of a wise ass."
"At least this wise ass can throw in a little humor here and there. I'm quite charming."
"Uh huh," Renamon replied. "Rika?"
"Geez. I've never meet anybody so cocky, yet, brave at the same time. Well, Impmon better realize that he's making a big mistake at messing around with these Devas," Rika thought.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at the underground cyberspace network, the Hypnos group was able to tap into the Deva communications. Riley was the first to inform Yamaki of this discovery.
"Sir, there is something that you should check this out. I was able to send a virus on the signal that I located. And I just received something from the signal itself."
Yamaki looked at a monitor and was reading through some old, binary writing that looked like codes, but Yamaki was able to quickly translate them and was shocked at what he discovered.
"Devas… An invasion of Devas?"
Suddenly, the group looked over to see Yamaki banging on the monitor and letting out some insane laughter.
"Heh. Heh… Just as I thought, these digimon communicate through primitive binary machine lanuage. This Deva language was easy to translate. It can even be translatable by "more evolved humans."
Yamaki finally began to snap as he roared and kicked away a nearby chair that was sitting next to him, in order to let out all of his frustrations.
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the park, Takato and his friends were still playing with Guilmon. They were now playing a new game of hide and seek. Takato started it off by kicking a can and Guilmon went over to attempt to catch it. This allowed Takato and his friends to go hiding somewhere within the park forest.
"He won't be able to find us in here," Kazu said.
"Lets not be sure. He has a good sense of smell."
"Yeah, he can sure smell your stinky arm pits all the way from over there. Geez, now I can even smell them," Kazu remarked, "Ack. You're making me choke, chumley."
"Ha. Ha. Huh, hey. Who's that?"
Takato goes pointing out over towards a weird-looking boy with a small hat and a rather, oval-shaped head. Takato and Kazu were looking at the boy and were not too sure of what to make of him.
"Have you seen that kid before?" asked Takato.
"Never. This is the first time I've seen him. He must be new. He must be one of your friends," Kazu said.
"No way. My friends don't look as weird as he does."
The mysterious boy turned around and then looked right over towards the boys. A lifeless look was coming from his rather small, beady eyes.
Just then, Guilmon was able to find the boys.
"Hey! I found you! Huh? Is he apart of the game too? I've never seen him."
"Neither have we. But, lets at least talk to him. He seems friendly enough," Takato said.
"Yeah, if you were demented or something," remarked Kazu.
Kenta and Jeri came running by as they caught up to the other three. They soon turned to see the strange-looking boy.
"Is in the game too?" asked Jeri.
"No, but we're going to try to least talk to him. Hey there, what's your name, kid?" Takato asked.
Suddenly, the strange-looking boy gave a loud shout and it caused the Tamers to cover their ears frantically and caused them to jump back. The boy laughs at them and then runs away deep into the forest.
"Whoa! That is one weird kid," Kazu said, "He must have problems."
"Um, so, are we still going to play or what? Who's it anyways," asked Kenta.
Takato was now beginning to become a little more suspicious of the boy, but Guilmon didn't seem so comfortable when the boy was around, as if Guilmon knew something about him that the other children don't know.
On the other side, a boy with a pyramid-shaped necklace was putting together what looked like a card deck. Yugi was setting up the last of his new cards to modify his entire deck. The Battle City tournament was well less than a week away.
"I must enter this tournament to face my destiny. I'll do whatever it takes to find out the hidden secrets of the past, Yami. I owe this to you."
"Thank you, Yugi. We also must beware of the recent monster appearances. I sense a great power behind it. A power not even I can comprehend."
"Whatever it maybe, we'll face it together."
**************************************************************************************
Back over in the city, Impmon was causing havoc as usual and doing what bullies usually do, and that was picking on others. This time around, he was jumping on cars on the road.
"Ha! Ha! You can't do anything to me, you pathetic humans! I own you! I own you! You don't own me! Hey! What's this, a girl with an ice cream cone?"
Impmon jumps down and lands right in front of a little girl, who was eating her ice cream. She looks over at Impmon with a look of bewilderment.
"I'll take that! Thank you."
Impmon snatches the ice cream cone out of her hands and with one gulp, swallows the ice cream cone. The little girl began to cry as the father looks down at Impmon angrily.
"Hey! I paid for that bubble gum raspberry nut crunch!"
"Huh? How about a Ba-Da Boom upside the head crunch?!"
Impmon shoots out a fireball over at the man's shoulder, which caused him to start to panic and run off with his daughter. Then the whole crowd started to panic and run away in fear of what Impmon was going to do next.
"And I've got one for everybody! Ha! Ha!"
The little virus starts shooting out fireballs towards the crowd, as they continued to panic in fear. Impmon started to laugh maniacally and making sure everybody got his message.
***************************************************************************************
"So, what are we going to do about this, Joe? We have one of those Deva creeps out there. There's no telling when he'll come wrecking havoc."
"I don't know. We just have to keep our eyes peeled and make sure to keep your senses alert. Man, I still haven't gotten my lunch."
"Better hurry. We have twenty minutes until the next class starts. Sucks to be you, huh?"
"Well, first things first! We'll check this Deva later. I just hate running back and forth!"
"I don't know. I think it's the perfect exercise."
Joe sprints off into the square market center to grab himself some lunch, but he was forced to run back to the university to get to his next class. School life has and always will be a pain in the rear.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at TK's apartment home, TK was sitting on the couch while watching television as he waited for his brother to eventually arrive. Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to help Kari put the finishing touches on the pizza, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!"
TK walks over towards the door and then opens it to see none other than Matt and Mimi. Matt comes charging in and gives TK a side headlock while TK was struggling to release himself from the hold.
"Who's your, daddy? Who's your daddy, TK?"
"Heh. Not you."
TK goes and takes Matt down with a leg sweep, while at the same time, releasing the headlock. TK was catching his breath as he drops an elbow on Matt. Mimi looks on with a smile on her face while walking in with Gabumon and Palmon.
"And he's down for the count!" exclaimed Gabumon.
"Whoa, looks like I beat you this time around, Matt."
"You were just lucky."
"Yeah, right."
"Mimi! Welcome back," Kari said.
The two girls exchanged hugs as Kari looked down at what Mimi was holding in her hands. It looked like a blanket of some sort.
"Don't mind me asking but what's in the blanket," Patamon asked.
"Oh, well this is the surprise that I have been wanting to show you for all this time," Mimi said, "Behold, our little boy, Dimitri."
The group all gasped as they looked over towards the blanket. Mimi unveiled the blanket and inside was a little baby boy with eyes much like her father's, light blue just like the blue heavens. And her face looked just like her mother's plus a small patch of blonde hair was visible.
"Aww, he's so cute! So, how long have you had him," Kari said as she held little Dimitri in her arms.
"About seven months. I really never expected to be a mother or have any kids. But I learned to accept it. I'm glad you like him."
"That's great. We forgot to mention that Ken and Yolei are staying with us for a month. So they should get back here in an hour or so."
"We met them while we were in tour over in Tokyo. And their little girl is adorable," Mimi said.
"Well, how does it feel being a father, Matt?"
"All I got to say is that its hard work and make that you always look after your future kids."
"Have you and Gabumon been training during these past few years?"
"Practically all the time when we don't have rehearsal or shows to perform in. We've practically perfected the ability to fuse. It's unbelievable. You should see it, but have you been keeping up?"
"Well… I… Kari and I have been going easy these past few years…"
"Oh that's too bad. Don't worry. You two are fast learners anyways. You proved it when we were fighting Virus. And Kari really proved all of us wrong."
"Thanks for the compliment, Matt."
"I smell pizza. Is that what we are having for dinner," asked Gabumon.
"It sure is," Kari replied. "It will be done in a few minutes. You guys take your seats. We really need to catch up on our lives. It's been a long while."
"I agree. So Palmon, has Mimi been a good mother?" Gatomon asked.
"I really never thought about that," Palmon replied, "But she's been fantastic."
"Wow! Your own son eventually becomes a very strong fighter over in the future time period," TK said, "It must feel really cool."
"It is. You can never imagine how much he has grown over these few months," Mimi said, "But that's no surprise. He's a hero in his future time. I really hope he's doing well."
"Yeah, I sure miss him," said Matt, "And I almost treated him like dirt."
"But the bottom line is that you loved him as a son," Kari said, "And he will always think about us. Remember, he even said that he would come to us if we ever needed his help."
Matt nodded in agreement and could easily remember those seven years ago when he and Dimitri were teaming up against the evil artificial, Virus. And he could also remember when he went off after Virus nearly killed his son.
"Dimitri. Whatever you are. I just hope you and your mother are doing well in the future world. I'll never forget you. Thanks."
"Alright! Pizza is ready," Kari stated.
"Yeah!"
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the center of the city, there were a group of cop cars surrounding a small car with Impmon standing on top of it. Each officer pulled out their pistols as they pointed over towards Impmon. But the devious little rookie just smiled at their attempts.
"Put your hands up in the air! You have the right to remain silent!"
"Ha! You really think that those toy guns are going to scare me off! You guys must be a bunch of idiots if you think pissy ass toys are going to shoo me away. So, here's a little present I got for ya'll."
Impmon quickly smiles and a small flame appears at the tip of his finger. He tosses it over towards the cops as they scattered. Impmon simply laughs at their futile attempts.
"And here's another for ya!"
But just as he was about to throw the flame over to the cops, a mysterious figure appears out of nowhere and snatches up Impmon with lighting quick speed. The cops were caught off guard, as they were ready to open fire.
The figure tosses Impmon into a nearby underground bridge. The figure turned out to be Renamon, who was looking down at Impmon. Renamon was holding onto the back of his bandana.
"Impmon. Stop trying to think that you are stronger. You are being blind. You are only making matters worse and getting hurt. Is that what you want?"
"Well, at least, I'm not like you while you take orders from that weakling human. I don't need any human partners!"
"But she was the only one that helped me to digivolve."
"I don't care if I wanted to digivolve or not! The truth is that I don't need anybody! You got that, fox face? I'm glad that I left those little brats behind!"
"Impmon?! Did you just say that you once had a partner?"
Impmon was quickly caught off guard at what she just said. He wrenches back and then punches Renamon right in her face. Impmon jumps down while Renamon was rubbing her bruised cheek. Impmon was kneeling down onto the ground and pounding his fist while crying.
"I want to get stronger! I want to digivolve! I want to reach the next evolution! I don't care what it takes! I will have it!"
Suddenly, Renamon turned around and noticed a digital field appearing far off in the distance. She could feel a nearby ki presence of a digimon.
"Its a digital field. He's back…"
"Huh?"
***************************************************************************************
Fortunately for Joe, his class was cut short due to an on-campus activity. This gave him a chance to take it easy for the rest of the day. He walks off campus and starts his walk towards the parking lot across the street.
"Another boring drive back home we go…"
"It couldn't be that bad. I managed to burn some CDs to make our drive a bit more enjoyable."
Suddenly, Gomamon felt tense and turned towards the left side of the parking lot. He felt the presence of the same Deva, Indramon. Joe didn't need to be alerted either, since his digivice was going off.
"Man, there's never a dull day here in this city, is there? Gomamon. It's back to action for us!"
"About time, too! Ladies and gentlemon, Gomamon has left retirement!"
**************************************************************************************
Over in town, people were starting to panic as they were running away from the digital field. Rika pushes through the crowds as she was heading towards the digital field as fast as she could.
"Ugh. There's never a dull day here."
***************************************************************************************
Henry was about to depart from the train as he got off and then a signal was quickly picking up from his D-Ark. He knew that a Deva was nearby and he luckily had Terriermon with him.
"There just never seem to be a dull day around here. Oh well, no rest for the wary."
The boy headed out towards the location of the digital field.
***************************************************************************************
Takato was sitting over at the park with Guilmon after his friends had just left for the day. Just then, Calumon comes hopping by.
"Hey, Calumon. Whatca doing here?" Takato asked.
"Looking for somebody to play with. And looks like you could use some fun."
"Sorry but I already played with a couple of friends of mine. I'm pooped out. But, I do got a question for you, Calumon."
"What do you want to know?" asked Calumon.
"I want to know if you have anything to do with the digivolutions for our digimon. I mean, they only digivolve when your around. Why is that?"
"Hmmm. Beats me?" replied a very confused Calumon.
"I mean. What if the digimon were able to digivolve when you're not around," said Takato.
Unfortunately, this only saddened Calumon as he turned away in sadness.
"Ohhh, so you don't want me around?"
"Why do I always get stuck with the most difficult digimon?"
Just then, Takato's D-Ark started going off and then he looks over at it as picks up an energy signal. Guilmon sniffs the air and feels a powerful energy level over in the city. Guilmon heads off with Takato chasing him along.
"There's never a dull day around here!"
**************************************************************************************
Back over at the middle of the city and within the digital field, Impmon was standing off while facing against the great Indramon. Rika and Renamon stood at a corner while watching the rookie attempt to face off against the ultimate-leveled Deva.
"Alright! Now I'm going to show you all, who is the strongest! I'm going to teach this punk a lesson! I hope your ready for a whooping, you ass clown!"
Indramon just stood there while chuckling to himself at the incompetence of Impmon.
"Now! Get ready for your biggest whooping! And you two better stay out of this!"
"But Impmon, you're simply no match for him. You're facing a ultimate-level Deva. You're signing your own death warrant."
Just as Renamon was about to approach him, but Impmon quickly turned to face her and tosses a fireball over at her. This stopped Renamon at her tracks.
"I don't need your help or your pity. Now stay out of my way!"
"I'd be happy to take you two myself."
"Hey! She has nothing to do with it! It's just you and me! Lets get this started!"
Impmon starts to power up as an aura forms around him and he places his two fingers on his forehead. He then concentrates on a form of energy and points down to the ground. A medium-sized fireball hovers from the ground and stops in front of Impmon. He pushes back and then shoots it out towards Indramon. As the fireball hit Indramon, it only fizzled on his armor as Indramon chuckled.
"Ooo! That tickled."
"What?! Its not possible!"
With that said, Indramon rears back and then delivers a devastating kick to the face of Impmon. The impact of the giant's foot sends Impmon flying backwards. Impmon slowly gets to his feet and runs over at him, but Indramon quickly kicks him away again.
"Ha! You're just a weakling! Ya, hear me, you purple pony! Your nothing but a weakling!"
"Well shall see, you little traitor."
Indramon rears back once again and delivers another kick to the face of Impmon. Indramon looks down and smiles with satisfaction.
"So, what do you got to say? Any last words before I absorb your data?"
"Yeah. Your kicks are so weak that a freaking old lady could hit harder with a bag of groceries! I bet your so-called Dark One is one better! Ha! Ha!"
"Grr! I will not allow you to insult my master."
With that said, Indramon delivers yet another kick to the face to Impmon, sending him flying back. The Tamer boys had just arrived in time to witness the punishment being inflicted upon Impmon.
"Hey! What's going on?" asked Takato.
"Looks like we're in the line of fire," said Henry.
"In the line of fire? More like the bursts of flames to me," exclaimed Terriermon.
"Impmon has been fighting this Deva himself and he doesn't want our help. He's going to get himself killed," said Rika.
"Impmon! We got to help him," Guilmon said.
"No. We must respect wishes," replied Renamon.
"I wouldn't want to wish this on anyone. Not even, Impmon. C'mon, Impmon! You can do it," exclaimed Takato.
"Give him with everything you got," Henry shouted.
"Hey! I don't even need your support! Now beat it-"
But Indramon was easily able to cut him off and sends Impmon flying back towards a nearby brick wall. Indramon goes over and picks up Impmon. He simply slaps him away and sends him flying down onto the ground. Impmon lands face first and there is a small crater at where he lands. Indramon walks over towards him and then kicks him away into another brick wall. Impmon looked just about out and was getting ready to be vanquished. The Tamer boys tried to go to help him, but Renamon holds out an arm as if she were blocking them away.
"Now time to finish this! This world won't miss another weakling!" Indramon said, as he was ready to stomp him out of existence.
"You guys! We got to do something before its too late," exclaimed Takato, "Now! We have to save him, Renamon."
"Not this time. Just wait a few moments…"
"Hang on!" a voice called out.
The Tamers turned to see Joe catching up to them. Rika easily remembered him earlier in the day.
"Hey, whoa re you?" Takato asked.
"So, you know Kari, too? I'm also a good friend of hers," Joe replied. "I've brought some company. Zudomon!"
With that said, a towering walrus-like titan with a muscular body and a tortoise shell on it's back appeared. Gomamon had enough to eat and was able to use his energy to evolve straight to ultimate.
"Whoa! I have that monster on one of my cards!" Henry said.
[Zudomon. Gomamon's Ultimate-Level. Vaccine Type. Special Technique: Zulcan's Hammer]
"Zudomon? Wow! That's his digimon? What do you think? I'm placing my bets on this guy," said Takato.
"You guys get your digimon to digivolve while Zudomon distracts him! Go!" Joe ordered.
"Another slave to be punished?" Indramon pondered. "Very well. Show me your power, traitor!"
"With pleasure! Zulcan's Hammer!"
Indramon was more than ready to catch the blast with his shell, but he watched as Zudomon diverted the blast around the Deva.
"Talk about a rebound!" Joe exclaimed.
Indramon was caught by the blast. Zudomon sprints forward and clobbers the Deva. Indramon starts reeling, which allowed Zudomon to clothesline him. Impmon looks on with astonishment.
"And that could have been me! I could have digivolved and laid the smack down on that pony's ass!" the tiny imp thought.
**************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined has just finished eating pizza and were ready to kick back to continue their conversation. But Gabumon sat up as he felt a high energy level from far away and could sense Indramon's presence.
"Matt. Looks like there's some kind of digimon activity over in the city. We better check it out," said Gabumon.
"Are you sure? There's a digimon nearby?" asked Matt.
"Yes and we must check it out," said Gabumon. "Zudomon is there, as well."
"Joe is there?! We should go with you. It's the Tamers and they may need our help," Kari said.
"No. Gabumon and I will go alone. There's a chance that Joe is buying some time for those Tamers to get their digimon ready to digivolve. Tai has already told me about these Tamers. But I don't need your help. Gabumon and I will check it out. You guys stay out. Besides, Gabumon ate the most, so he has the most energy. We'll be back ok?"
"You becareful, Matt," Mimi said as she kissed Matt.
"Don't worry. You just hold Dimitri tight until I get back."
"I will."
"Tell us what you see when you get back," TK said.
Matt nodded and then headed out the door with Gabumon following at his side. Matt holds out his digivice and then it powers up allowing Gabumon to warp digivolve into his mega-leveled form.
"Looks like our training just might pay off."
[Digimon Adventure evolution theme "Braveheart" plays]
"Gabumon! Warp Shinka!"
Gabumon quickly goes through his full evolutions, from Garurumon to Were Garurumon and finally into the metallic wolf of warfare, Metal Garurumon.
"Metal Garurumon!"
Matt quickly hops onto Metal Garurumon and they fly off towards the location of the battle. The other Destined looked on while Mimi was holding onto Dimitri tightly.
"Well, he apparently hasn't changed that much," said Kari, "But he's always have been independent."
"That's my brother for ya," replied TK.
"Matt! I also feel other energy levels over in the central district of West Shinjuku. We're heading over there now."
"Well, lets speed it up!"
With that said, Metal Garurumon's aura flares up and he jets off within the speed of light over towards the exact location of the Tamers.
*************************************************************************************
Zudomon goes for a shot with his hammer, but Indramon ducks under and plows him through a brick wall.
"No! Zudomon!" Joe exclaimed.
"Now with that nuisance taken care of. Where were we? Ah, yes. Time to extinguish this weakling."
Indramon was about to stomp Impmon right out of existence but Renamon quickly goes over and snatches up Impmon away just in time. The Tamers looked on with relief. Renamon sets Impmon, but Indramon takes advantage and delivers a kick to the back of Renamon.
"You dare to save this weakling? Now you will pay for your insolence!"
"Go for it, guys!" Joe called out.
"Alright guys! Its time to take this creep down," Takato said, "Its digivolve time!"
The three Tamers each pulled out their cards and then slashed them through their D-Arks.

"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
Evolution!
"Guilmon shinka! Growlmon!"
"Renamon shinka! Kyuubimon!"
"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
"Wow! So they use the cards to help their digimon digivolve? Unreal!" Joe said.
Impmon was struggling to get up to his feet but to no avail. His body was battered and beaten to a bloody pulp.
"I can't even feel my own body. But I'm not going to let some pony beat me around!"
"Now, let me show you what the true power of a Deva really is," Indramon said as he summoned his shell and held it right in front of him.
The three champions all stood together as they faced off against the ever-powerful Indramon. They all began to power-up as auras around their bodies flared up. They each unleashed their attacks upon Indramon.
"Pyro Blaster!"
"Gargo Laser!"
"Fox Tail Inferno!"
As soon as these three attacks were being fired over towards Indramon, the shell that he was holding was able to absorb and gather the energy within. This caught the digimon by surprise, as did the Tamers.
"He absorbed the attacks!" exclaimed Takato.
"He could have done that with my Zulcan's Hammer blast!" Zudomon stated.
"Looks like we're in trouble," said Henry.
"Now! You really think those pitiful attacks were enough to do me in? Pathetic. Now, let me demonstrate my true power…"
As soon as he said that, he grabs his horn and then places it in his mouth while holding his breath. He blows and then unleashes a ray of powerful energy towards the Tamers' digimon.
"Horn of Desolation!"
The energy was enough to send all three of the champions flying back as the Tamers looked on with shock and horror. Impmon quickly got to his feet and then goes running over towards Indramon.
"You want me dead?! Well, come and absorb me! I'm ready for you!"
"Ha. So be it. Prepare to meet your doom!"
Impmon goes charging right over towards Indramon, but he was quickly caught off guard as the left foot of Indramon kicks Impmon away.
"This is not good. I guess slacking off from training didn't do us any favors," Joe replied.
"So? Who's next to challenge my-"
"Giga Missiles!"
Indramon quickly turns around and then gets nailed right in the face by several missiles. Indramon goes stumbling back as he fell down to the ground. The Tamers looked up to see none other than Metal Garurumon hovering in the air with a blonde-haired young man with a smirk on his face.
"What?! It's Matt!" Zudomon exclaimed. "Joe! Look! It's Matt!"
"Matt? What the hey-"
"So you must be the Tamers? Impressive. Your champion digimon are pretty powerful. But leave this to us. We'll take it from here."
"Who is that guy?" Henry asked.
"Not your welcoming committee, that's for sure," replied Gargomon.
"That's another one of Kari's friends, Matt. I've only heard about him from Kari. She says that he's one of the Digi-Destined to fuse with their digimon. So, we might get the chance to see a fusion warrior for the first time," Takato said.
"We'll it's good to see him again. I thought he was touring," Joe pondered.
"Well, lets just see how good he really is," remarked Rika, "He doesn't seem that powerful. But his digimon is a mega-level, so I wouldn't start doubting him now."
"So, your one of those Devas? Well, so far, we're not impressed!" Matt replied.
"Insolent human! You dare defy the power of the Devas? I am one of the most powerful of the Devas, sent by the Dark One. I am here to collect as much energy from this pathetic world and wreck havoc upon you human trash."
"Is that so? You're right about one thing. You are powerful. But… Have you realized that the power of the fused kind has already surpassed you? Thats right, the power of humans and digimon working together to become the legendary fusion warriors has come into being. But since you have no idea of what I'm talking about, we will demonstrate."
"Yes, do so. Lighten me, before I kill you."
"So be it. You just signed your own death warrant."
[SSJ Vegeta's English theme plays]
"Now we're getting somewhere," said Zudomon.
With that said, Matt flies down as if he were about to commit suicide but Metal Garurumon starts to power up as a aura flares up around him and his body started to glow. Matt's body started to glow a metallic blue color as well. Indramon looks on with a smirk on his face but then it becomes an open-mouth gasp. The two bodies turned into beams of metallic blue light and then fused together.
"Metal Garurumon! Fusion shinka!"
Matt let out a loud cry as he and Metal Garurumon fused into one being. Metal Garurumon stood upright and pieces of his armor started to fade away. His wolf-like appearance had now given to a more human-like appearance. Spiky, blonde hair started to appear on his head and his eyes were glowing a red color. A smile formed across his face. The ground all around him started to shatter and cave into the earth. Now there was a blue, metallic aura formed around his body.
The Tamers and their digimon could only watch on in amazement. Indramon was just as shocked. Metalla X opens his eyes and they were purely white with a metallic blue flare coming out of them. A smirk forms across his face.
"Lets dance, deva."
Metalla X hovers from above while looking down over at Indramon, who had a shocked expression on his face. This was the first time that he ever took a glance at a fully powered fusion warrior. The Tamers were just as shocked at what they were seeing.
"No way! Its another fusion… fusion," stuttered Henry.
"Yeah. No kidding," replied Rika.
"His ki level just sky rocketed and Indramon is looking scared," said Gargomon, "And I thought I see the day a Deva gets scared."
"Heck, I'm almost scared to death looking at him, but he looks so cool," said Growlmon.
"It's all over for this Deva," Joe said. "He can kiss it goodbye."
Henry looks into his D-Ark and goes to get information on Metalla X, but to no avail. No data on him.
"I'm not getting a ready of any kind on this guy. But I don't think this guy needs introductions."
"So, are you ready to dance, Deva?"
"How can you be so confident? You should be kneeling before me… Your power is unbelievable. How are humans and digimon able to fuse into one being?"
"Well. I did a lot of pushups and sits. And I drank plenty of juice."
"Quit toying with me! Enlighten me!"
"Well, if you weren't so busy kissing your boss' ass, maybe you would realize that we're the most powerful being that has ever lived."
"You? You are the most powerful being? What a farce! The Dark One would make you kneel before him," said Indramon.
"Is that so?"
"Yes! You are nothing more than an insolent human! Digimon and humans merging is wrong and I will put an end to this so-called 'fusion warrior' myself."
"You're bluffing my friend. Why don't we get started then?"
"Gladly!"
"Oh, and before you shoot me with that Horn whatever crap you call it, I will warn you now. Your ki level is nowhere near my status of power. I clearly have beaten you."
"Silence and let us begin!"
"Oh no, you don't!" a voice called out.
Indramon turned around to see none other than Impmon running over towards him with his fists clenched up.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Joe stated. "This little guy has heart!"
"He should have stayed down," Zudomon said.
"You still haven't dealt with me yet! You better stay out of this shiny. This purple pony is mine!"
Indramon sneers and then quickly smacks Impmon away and sending him flying over several rooftop houses and onto the other side. A loud crash was heard which caused the Tamers to worry for the little rookie.
"Oh no! Impmon!" exclaimed Takato.
"It looks like Indramon wants Metalla X instead," Henry said, "But we should really go and find Impmon."
"I've never seen a guy as cocky as he is," Rika pointed out, "But then again, I'm no different."
Indramon goes charging over towards Metalla X and goes attacking him with a series of eye beams but Metalla X easily dodges each beam coming his way. The fusion warrior's overconfidence infuriates Indramon. The fusion warrior appears behind the Deva.
"I'm impressed, Metalla X. You managed to get past by deadly beams."
"I don't think you even know what you're up against. It's simple as I say it is. Your powerful, but compared to super powers like Burizalor and Virus, you're a wimp. But unlike him, maybe, you'll prove to be more worthy of a challenge."
"I do not know this Burizalor or Virus you speak of, but if you compare our ki levels being legions apart, then that would mean that you far surpassed us?"
"In more ways than one."
"Is that way he was so overconfident? I now realize that I won't be able to beat him now. But I must return back and return back with this information."
Just as he was about to make his next move, Metalla X reappears in front of him and delivers a tornado kick to the face of Indramon. Indramon goes flying back, as Metalla X goes flying over at him. Indramon manages to stop himself and takes a blow out of his horn.
"Horn of Deso-"
But just as he was about to fire, Metalla X quickly phases out. This catches Indramon off guard as Metalla X appears from above and shoots down a rain of energy blasts that managed to immobilize the giant Deva. Metalla X looks down with a smirk on his face. Indramon was slowly getting to his feet and bruises were covered all over his body.
"Woo! He just got knocked the hell out!" Joe cried out.
"Talk about a lovely sight," remarked Zudomon.
"Well, looks like your horn wasn't able to play the proper tune. You're just going to have to find a better instrument. Now, are you ready for the biggest ass kicking that you're about to receive, Deva."
"I'm not going to be able to beat him at this present form. I will have to return back to refuel my energy and return in my larger form. Laugh it up, Metalla X, but I shall be back."
Indramon looks up and then he flies up, which quickly infuriated Metalla X. Indramon quickly dissipates and turns into a pack of data, but he wasn't deleted.
"He disappeared!" exclaimed Henry.
"Did he just commit suicide?" asked Takato.
"No. He's returning back to the Digital World," said Kyuubimon, "He's going to reenergize and I have a feeling that he won't return the same."
"So, we better be on the outlook at all times. No telling when he returns," said Rika.
"That fight was completely one-sided. Matt could have finished him," Joe said.
"Noe, Joe. He simply wasn't competition for us. We've dealt with tougher foes than that weakling. C'mon, wake up. Now for you Tamers; you three better be on the look out," Metalla X cried out, "There's no telling when he shows up. But here's the deal. I saved you so that I may test out my powers against a Deva and thus far, I was able to handle him with ease. But next time, I want to see you taking him on alone."
"What?! Are you crazy? We're going to get creamed," exclaimed Gargomon.
"Maybe so. But I think you three have a power within you, and you must release it. The Devas are not going to become simple for you guys anymore. One of you three has got to unleash that hidden power. So this is my warning, I do not want you three to screw this up. It's your chance, because I won't be saving your asses next time. Got that?"
They all nodded in agreement, except for Rika, who just stood there with her arms crossed.
"Hey, so you must be Rika. I heard you're the toughest one on the team. I must admit. I was just like you when I was your age. I kind of like that. I'm pretty sure you'll be the one that unleashes their hidden power."
Rika responded by rolling her eyes and looking over towards the Tamer boys. The digimon, except Kyuubimon, just stood there with confused looks on their faces.
"Well I'm off," Metalla X said as he quickly flies off into the distance.
The Tamers looked on as Metalla X was gone like a flash of light. They looked at each other in shock and bewilderment.
"I can't believe that he's just going to leave us hanging out to dry like that. How we can do this ourselves?" asked Gargomon.
"Yeah, he could have just left us some instructions," moaned Growlmon.
"But he's right about one thing," Takato said, "We really have to fight this one alone. We won't know how truly powerful he's going to be, but we're going to have to handle this ourselves."
The other two Tamers nodded in agreement. The digimon also did the same and agreed with Takato.
"Yeah. This time around, it's our turn to prove to the Digi-Destined that we're just as strong, maybe even stronger. Our digimon have gotten stronger to the point that they don't really need to rely on the cards to get the job done. What do you say? Is it agreed?"
They all nodded and a smile forms across the face of the goggle boy.
"You guys did well," Joe said. "Keep it up and you'll be defending the digital world soon. It was nice knowing ya'll. But we better get going. Zudomon. We're heading out."
"It was nice knowing you too, Joe. Tell Kari I said hi," Takato replied.
Joe nodded and hopped onto Zudomon's back. The digimon starts sprinting off towards a safe location. From there, he would de-digivolve back into Gomamon and walk with Joe to the parking lot. They had a long drive out of town.
Growlmon walks right up towards Takato.
"I'm with you, Takato. I always stand by your decision," said Growlmon.
"You got that right, Takatomon," remarked Gargomon, "Shall we, Henry?"
"You bet."
"Rika?"
"Ok, I'm in."
"Tomorrow will be another day. I promise you," Takato said while gazing over towards the sunset. "But I just hope our luck doesn't run out already."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere at Shinjuku Park, Davis was playing cards with Veemon while Sonja was training herself in shadow boxing.
"Ace of Spades! I win again, Davis!"
"Damn! You always beat me at my favorite card game!"
"How is that possible?!"
"Not too sure. I guess it's just my luck."
"Luck, my ass."
Sonja stops her long training and walks over towards the two card players. Her eyes glared over towards Davis.
"Um, hi babe. You want to some cards?"
"Ugh, the last time we played, I creamed you."
"I don't know what's more embarrassing. Getting beat by my digimon or my wife…"
"I'm totally serious about this, Davis. Those Devas are popping out everywhere. We have to keep an eye out for them. Starting tomorrow, we're working as a unit. Got it? If or no buts about it."
"Sure, but can't we like get some rest first?"
"Yeah. Yeah. You little baby."
"If I am one, then I'm a cute little baby."
"Oh, Davis. Why do you get yourself caught up in these sort of things?" Veemon thought.
**************************************************************************************
Next Morning
Takato was sitting in the underground tunnel while watching over the three champions. They hoped that they de-evolve back into their rookie forms. Unlike the Digi-Destined digimon, these three can de-evolve at various times, whether it is a short or long amount of time.
Elsewhere, Rika and Henry were looking all over within the city limit at the area where Impmon could have landed. As they walked along, they found a small crater-like hole.
"Whoa. I think we found ourselves a little clue," said Henry, "Look at that hole."
"Yeah. Wow, he could have been killed if he fell even harder than that. He must be all alone without a partner to care for her," said Rika.
"Rika, you do have a heart."
Rika gasps and simply turns away from him while trying to hide her friendly side.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Matt was standing outside with a determined look on his face as he gazing up into the skies. TK and Kari came walking out.
"Hey, Matt. So, did you really think it was the wise choice to handle this Deva situation on their own?" asked TK.
"Yeah. There's simply no reason why they wouldn't be. It's time for them to prove their worth. If they're as good as you make them out to be, I want them to handle a situation on their own, much like we did against our past enemies."
"I agree, TK. They may just be kids, but they're Tamers. Nobody ever thought we could have saved the two worlds from various evil forces but we did just that, even when we were kids. We always risen to the occasion," said Kari.
"Ok, you guys maybe right. I just kind of over exaggerated there. So, you think that Deva is going to come back?"
"I have a feeling that it may come sooner than you think," Matt replied, "But for our sake, lets hope that they can get the job done right."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at the park, Takato had finished up looking after the digimon and went over to hang out with Kazu and Kenta. They were walking along a trial as they were conversing. But little did they realize that the mysterious boy was sneaking up behind them.
"So, why did you guys need to see me? Spill the beans," Takato said. "Is it an update on Dungeon Dice Monsters?"
"Nope."
Kazu quickly pulls out a blue card with a dinosaur label on it. It was colored blue and was custom made.
"Ta-da! So, what do you think?" asked Kazu, "I kind of figured you guys could use it to Matrix evolve."
"What? You think this could work? I don't think it would work on my digivice."
"But I did everything you told me. I even drew in the outlines."
Suddenly, the mysterious boy comes popping out and went to grab the blue card, but Takato quickly backed while and held the card away. The boy growled and then ran off with super fast speed.
"Man! That is one weird kid! And here I thought Kenta was the weird one," Kazu said.
Takato simply looks at the card and then thought to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Henry and Rika continued their search throughout the city but they found no traces of Impmon. They would soon eventually give up after hours of walking around the same city limits.
"I actually wonder if Impmon even survived that impact fall myself," said Henry.
"I agree. He shouldn't even be out here in his current condition. But this is hopeless. Lets just get back to Takato and full him in on the news."
**************************************************************************************
Mr. Wong was sitting in a desk and was sitting at the place where he and his old college buddies were working on the first actual 'A.I.' programs. But just then, he heard an alarm go off and several workers running towards one location. He walked out to investigate and wondered why they would be running and panicking at the same time.
"I wonder what all of the commotion is all about."
As soon as he followed them in, he walked in to see what seemed to be an underground secret headquarters. It was in fact, the Hypnos system.
"What… What is this place?"
Just then, a man with a suit goes walking up to his side and began to explain to Mr. Wong.
"You have nothing to fear," said Yamaki, "This has been designed to survey the locations of digital fields and surveying communication networks from all over the globe. The network we are using is called the Yuggoth, where we trace the locations of digital beings we call 'wild ones' and we do anything we can to wipe them out of existence and insure the safety of this plane of existence. The reason for these beings entering our world is through the digital field itself. We can define these digital fields as Earth's Electromagnetic Field Interacting with Digital Information that's forming False Proteins.' In other words, digital beings you call digimon are appearing in our world."
***************************************************************************************
Just then, outside within the city of West Shinjuku, the horse Deva Indramon appeared and was now bigger than ever. He was as tall as a forty five-story building.
The Tamers were now at the scene of the crime where Indramon was visible and causing a huge waves of panic among the people.
"Digivolution time," Takato exclaimed.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
They all pulled out their cards and then slashed them through their D-Arks.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
Evolution!
"Renamon shinka! Kyuubimon!"
"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
"Guilmon shinka! Growlmon!"
The three champions all powered up with aura flares surrounding them. They ran over towards the Deva. Kazu and Kenta looked on as they cheered for the Tamers. Jeri stood there while holding Calumon in her arms, which began to look worried. The mysterious boy was looking on as he sat on the side of the bridge while looking up at the helicopters soaring the skylines. Impmon watched on while hiding inside a cart and looked on over at the helicopters.
Gargomon was the first to attack as he shoots out a barrage of Gargo Lasers over at the giant Indramon. Kyuubimon then follows it up with a Dragon Wheel plus a Pyro Blaster from Growlmon. The digimon looked on with shock as neither of their attacks unable to penetrate through Indramon. He was not only bigger but was stronger than before.
"Nice little trick, weaklings. But now playtime is over!"
"I don't think. We're not done yet," said Henry.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
The blue-haired boy pulls out a card and then slashes it right through his D-Ark, giving Gargomon a much needed energy boost.
"Card Slash! Power activate!"
Galgomon powered up and goes flying up at Indramon and shot out another barrage of Gargo Lasers, but it wasn't effective against the tough armor of Indramon. Indramon simply slaps him away and sends the gun bunny towards the bridge as a loud crash was heard. As soon as he landed down onto the ground, Gargomon tried shooting at him but he had ran out of bullets. Henry would only look on with shock and looked through his cards.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Henry pulls out another card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Recharge activate!"
Gargomon powers up and let's loose another powerful barrage of shots over at Indramon. This allowed Takato and Rika enough time to make their next move.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Takato pulls out a card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Strength Activate!"
Rika pulls out a card and then slashes it through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Hyper Speed Activate!"
Growlmon and Kyuubimon both powered up as the ground around them shook and rocks began to float. They headed out to go lend Gargomon a helping hand against the powerful Deva.
Meawhile, Sonja and Paildramon look on from a far distance. This is what Sonja was referring about. Her idea was to get involved in a Deva battle.
"Ready, guys? Because there's no turning back," Sonja said.
"I'm with you," Paildramon said. "Time to open a can of whoop ass!"
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, Yamaki was leading Mr. Wong towards a room where a group of people was sitting at their computers. Mr. Wong looks over to them and could easily recognize them. They were indeed his old college buddies; the ones who helped him work on the 'A.I.' project.
"Oh my… I can't believe it's you guys! Dolphin! Babel! Daisy! Curly!"
They all stood and they greeted their long-time colleague and friend. It has been a very long time since they seen each other since the shutdown of their 'A.I.' program.
"Its so good to see you all back."
"You all are here for a reason," Yamaki said, "And that is to help us wipe out the digimon from this plane of existence."
"But, where's Shibumi? Why isn't he here?"
"We were unable to locate Shibumi and its unknown where he is at the moment," Yamaki explained, "But I am here to let you know that you six weren't the ones who created digimon completely. It seems that these beings have an omnipotent master. They call this master the Sovereign or how they like to refer to him as the Dark One. You might have created the design and the framework data of the Digimon, but this higher being was the one who brought them to life. We knew that Shibumi wouldn't be here. At first, I just didn't trust Shibumi but after a while, what he predicted had come true. It first happened many years ago in Odaiba, then results in the Virus incident seven years ago. But now, Hypnos had to earn the digimon's trust in order to lower their defenses. Then from there, we can destroy them."
Just then, Mr. Wong was looking at a computer monitor and saw none other than Kazu and Kenta. A look of worry started to form across his face.
"Oh no! That's Kazu and Kenta, in the line of fire!"
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the battlegrounds, Jeri and Calumon watched as they were crying over the fact that the Tamers were being pummeled and losing the battle against the powerful Indramon.
The three champions all headed out as they charged the Deva once again, showing no signs of giving up.
"We're not going to let you destroy our world!" exclaimed Gargomon.
"You have no right to kill us and load our data just to give more energy for your evil leader!" Kyuubimon shouted.
"Yeah! We refuse to give up and take defeat at the hands of this Dark One! Takato and I won't let you take this world!" Growlmon cried out.
"Insolent fools! You are now going to feel the full wrath of my deva power!" exclaimed Indramon.
With that said, Indramon began to blow parts of the city around him, despite the military helicopters and the Tamers' digimon trying to stop him. It was obvious that military power was useless against the digimon. As Indramon was about to blast a nearby helicopter, Growlmon came out of nowhere and blasted Indramon away with a huge Pyro Blaster that was able to slam against the deva's face. Indramon turned around and nails Growlmon with a swift smack with his elbow.
Just then, Takato was weakening as he fell to his knees and held his arm while grimacing in pain. Kazu and Jeri were able to hold him up just before he was about to collapse. A look of worry came across the faces of both Henry and Rika.
Gargomon and Kyuubimon went over to try to assault the deva, but Indramon also nailed them with swift shots as well. They suffered the same fate as Growlmon did.
Henry and Rika also felt pain flowing through their bodies just as their digimon were nailed with the tremendous blows. It was obvious that the deva's blows were very strong and caused the Tamers to feel their pain. This had happened before when Tai and War Greymon were battling Burizalor. The evil tyrant was beating around War Greymon, and this caused Tai to feel his partner's pain.
"Had enough, fools?!"
Suddenly, two large blasts came shooting out and nailed Indramon in the face. The Deva goes crashing back. He turned and noticed two figures.
"What? More flies stand in my way?!"
"Look! It's Davis and someone else!" Takato exclaimed. "Looks like they'll be buying us some more time!"
"Yes, this is just what we needed," Henry replied.
"Why do you interfere?!" Indramon asked.
"Because you're a Deva and annoy the hell out of us! Desperado Blaster!"
The shots came in close-range contact with Indramon, which knocked him back. Sonja jumps up and clasps her hands together. This managed to create an energy disk. She throws it and watches it slice through Indramon's side armor.
"Curse you, wench!"
"Nice shot, babe!"
"I was just warming up. You really don't want to catch me in a bad mood," the artificial girl said promptly.
Elsewhere, the mysterious boy was watching on every minute of the battle and there seemed to be a satisfied look on his face during the course of the battle itself. He makes approving sounds when Indramon was inflicting damage to the digimon and disapproving towards the kids attempting to help their digimon. It was obvious that this boy was going for Indramon, but for some unknown reason. However, he was unhappy with Paildramon and Sonja interfering in the battle.
Kazu and Kenta decided to help out the Tamers by handing them some modify cards to help out their digimon.
"Here, you could use this. You better hurry or you're going to lose your digimon, dude. Those two are obviously buying you guys some more time!"
"Thanks, Kazu!" Henry said as he took the cards.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Each of the Tamers took a card and slashed them through their D-Arks.
"Card Slash! Power Activate!" Henry shouted.
"Card Slash! Hyper Speed Activate!" exclaimed Rika.
"Card Slash! Energy Activate!" Takato cried out.
The digimon felt their power increase as they each made their move onto the giant Indramon. Sonja and Paildramon flew to the side to allow the Tamer's digimon to make their next assault. Growlmon shoots several large Pyro Blasters. Kyuubimon sends out a wave of Fox Tail Infernos. Gargomon shoots out a barrage of Gargo Lasers. But none of these attacks had any effects on the deva. The reason for this failure as the fact that the Tamers were using too many modify cards and it was wasting more energy for the digimon instead of giving them energy.
Kazu was looking through his cards, but he only had one left. He pulls out it and it was the blue card that he had made himself for Takato.
"Hey, chumley! I should have told you sooner! Use my card! The one I created for you."
"But Kazu, its just a custom-made. You created it using crayon and card board."
"It doesn't matter now. Just use it," Henry exclaimed, "Our digimon are going to die pretty soon."
"C'mon, goggle head. What are you waiting for a written invitation? Use it," snapped Rika.
Takato looked over at Kazu, then the card and then over to Calumon, who was being held by Jeri. The little digimon nodded his head and a smile forms across the face of Takato. He takes the card and faces the battlefield.
"Alright. I don't know if it will work, but I will try! Here goes nothing!"
Standing on top of a roof, Matt is looking on from a far off distance with Metal Garurumon at his side. A smirk was forming across his face.
"Now you'll get the chance to see Guilmon matrix evolve, babe," Paildramon said.
"Let's see what this matrix fuss is all about," replied Sonja.
[Card Slash theme "Slash" plays]
Takato takes the blue card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Matrix Evolution Activate!"
A frown was forming across the mysterious boy's face as Growlmon was beginning to evolve.
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Growlmon matrix shinka!"
A red-shaped diamond was in the background as Growlmon was beginning to become bigger in size and armor starts to form all across his body. Blades formed at his sides and his body was half cybernetic. He then powered down and was in his new form. He shouts out his newly evolved name.
"War Growlmon!"

Indramon looks on towards the battlegrounds and sees War Growlmon facing him. A look of shock forms across the face of Indramon. War Growlmon powers up his thrusters and unscathed his blades. Takato looks on as he screamed out to give War Growlmon a much needed "power boost". War Growlmon took this to his advantage as he goes charging at Indramon with full speed. The cyborg rams his blades right into Indramon and begins pushing him away.
"Give it up, deva!"
"Never! I shall never die!"
"Oh you will," Takato said, "ATOMIC-"
"BLASTER!"
The breastplates on War Growlmon began to open up as he started to power up with tremendous force. A red energy beam comes shooting right out of War Growlmon and right towards Indramon, as the force of the energy was able to push Indramon away. The horse deva lets out a bloody scream and watches as his body explodes into loads of red lifeless data.
"All right! Way to go, Takato! Now that's what I call a smack down!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"Awesome, but I got a favor for you, guys," Sonja said.
"What's that?"
"Come up with some original material, please!"
War Growlmon stood triumphant among the city with the military helicopters flying around him. Takato let out a sigh of relief and fell onto his knees.
"Yeah! You did it, dude!" Kazu exclaimed.
"You were great, Takato!" said Jeri.
"One deva down, another problem solved," Henry stated.
"Way to go, goggle head. You just never seem to amaze me," Rika said to herself.
The mysterious boy was taken appalled by this and quickly disappears out of sight.
"Ha! So, does that make me a tamer, now," Kazu asked, "I saved your lives!"
"Hey, just can it, Kazu!" Rika snapped.
The Tamers managed to defeat one powerful deva without the help of the Digi-Destined, but what other new challenges lies ahead for our heroes? And will the other Digi-Destined make any appearances?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
The Return of an Old Friend! Vikaralymon Appears!
It was a beautiful morning in the city of West Shinjuku and it was just a couple of days ago that it was almost destroyed by the horse Deva known as Indramon. But everything seemed to be in perfect order, and no attacks from any Devas lately, which was a good thing.
Perfect days to buy some bread and take a nice walk in the park. That was Jeri's plan today and she walks over into the Matsuki Bakery, where she could buy herself some nice, fresh bread.
Jeri looked all over the store and picked out some cream puffs. She went over and paid Mr. Matsuki for the bread. As soon as he hands her the bag full of the paid cream puffs, she went to ask him a question.
"Thank you, Mr. Matsuki. Do you happen to know where Takato went?"
"He's been long gone over at the park playing with his friends. You might find him there."
"Oh ok, then. Thank you again, Mr. Matsuki. The bread is just as fresh as ever."
"I'll tell Takato you stopped by."
"No its ok, I'll just go see what he's doing. Thanks anyways."
As soon as Jeri walked out of the bakery, she turned to see Kazu and Kenta running up towards her while catching their breaths after running a very long distance.
"Hey, Jeri. Are you looking for Takato?" asked Kenta.
"Yeah. I was about to go the park to see Takato and the others."
"Oh, that's funny. We were heading there too. You want to join us," Kazu managed to ask under his breathe.
"C'mon. We have to get there before they're gone," Kenta said as he held Jeri by one arm.
"Yeah. Before it's too late. They might leave any minute," Kazu replied while grabbing Jeri's other arm.
They ran off while holding onto Jeri.
"Hey! Watch it! You're squishing my cream puffs!"
The two boys held onto Jeri as tight as they could while heading over towards the park where they would meet up with the Tamers before they would have a chance to leave.
**************************************************************************************
TK came walking out of his apartment house with Patamon tagging along. He needed to take a walk out after writing a rather long chapter. He has barely gotten the chance to even go out. It was either writing his novels or battling bio-emerged digimon. It has been a tough month.
"It's about time you got out a little while. I don't like seeing you getting cramped up on your writing."
"I know it's a pain in the neck, but it's a job I rather enjoy."
"Guess so. I can't see myself writing. My hands couldn't handle all that writing and typing. Did I also mention that proofreading and spell check stinks?"
TK looked around the streets and let out a sigh. He was able to breathe in some fresh outside air. This was rather refreshing.
"I wonder how everyone else is doing? They're probably busy today. Of all the days I had to take a day off, everyone else works. I miss the old days."
"Say, why don't we go to the park later? We can catch up on what's going there. Besides, Guilmon and Takato should be there."
"Yeah. I've been meaning to speak with Takato. I need to know a little more of these Devas."
"Those Devas are so mean! Why I ought to teach them a thing or two!"
"Save it until another one actually arrives. C'mon, let's take a stroll through the market square, grab some grub and head out to the park."
"Sounds like a plan, TK."
"Let's go. I don't want to stand around here all day."
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos Headquarters, several of the creators of the original digimon 'A.I.' program were all gathered while still at work. There was a white man, an Indian woman and a black man working over their computers. These included Dolphin, Curly and Babel.
"Janyuu, I want you to begin researching on these digimon," Yamaki said, "That way, we can get a better understanding on what we are really after."
"I don't know. You really think we should exterminate these beings. I just feel wrong for destroying something that we worked on many years ago."
"So are you willing to risk the safety of your family just for these digital beings. They aren't even living creatures, just loads of computer data."
"Yes, but I still feel that its wrong."
"Don't worry. Eventually, you will change your mind. I will see to it."
***************************************************************************************
Back over towards the park, Kazu and Kenta took Jeri near the hideout of Guilmon, but they remained hidden behind the bushes as they listened to them Tamer's conversation.
"Shh. I know they're in there. But we have to keep quiet," said Kazu.
"What do you think they're talking about?" asked Kenta.
"Who knows, but if we keep quiet, we'll know for sure."
Just then, they were now overhearing the Tamer's conversation. Each of them had a serious look on their faces, with their digimon listening to the conversation.
"This Dark One they speak of is serious if he really wants to gather energy from our world and unleash something that maybe considered a very indestructible force. I just have a bad feeling about this," said Henry.
"Not only that but each time we have faced a deva, they always seem to have a 'D' marking on their forehead. I wonder what that foretells. It must be their symbol representing this leader they take orders from," said Takato.
"No duh, Einstein. And if we don't do something, this 'Dark One' just might show up. Renamon, this might get serious, but we'll always be on the lookout," Rika replied.
"Of course. We will be ready when another deva decides to make an unsuspecting appearance."
"But why would the Dark One send Devas and what if we aren't able to stop them. They seem to get stronger each time a new one shows up," said Takato, "We better not underestimate them."
"So, what did you get to hear," Kenta asked.
"I don't know, but I really want to become a Tamer much like the. I'm tired of walks sitting around and doing nothing in helping them. You know what I mean," Kazu asked.
"I can hear ya, buddy. But I wonder what kind of digimon I would have."
"Oh that's just silly. You boys are so into digimon," Jeri said, "I just find it pretty hilarious."
"With the knowledge of battle cards. I can give them a lot of good advice. Besides, I'm the master at the card games," said Kazu.
"Well, I'm not really into the card playing game. I'm simply not into digimon as you guys are," Jeri replied.
Just then, a ton of cards came falling out of Jeri's dress pocket and onto the floor. Jeri looked on with shock as Kazu and Kenta looked over to see that the cards were in fact digimon cards.
"Uh huh. You want to explain, young lady?" Kazu asked with sarcasm.
Embarrassed, Jeri quickly snatched up her cards and placed them back into her pocket. Kazu simply rolls his eyes and then looks back to the hideout. He gasped.
"What's wrong, Kazu?" Kenta asked.
"They're gone! They just left. I knew that I shouldn't have taken my eyes off of them," said Kazu.
The three went over towards the bunker and then looked inside to see that the Tamers had already just left.
"They're gone. I wonder where they ran off? Maybe on another Deva mission," said Kenta.
"Then we should get there," Kazu replied, "You want to come, Jeri?"
"No. I got other things to do, guys. See ya."
With that said, Jeri goes walking off into another direction where she would take a nice walk into the park instead of getting involved in another digimon battle.
As soon as she walks over towards the trail of the park, she stopped as Calumon comes hopping out of the bushes with a smile on his face. He turns to face Jeri.
"Hello!"
"Hi there," Jeri greeted him.
Calumon flies up and then takes a sniff from her bag. He licks his lips and realized that food was inside of the bag.
"Is that some yummy food in there," Calumon asked, "Yum. Yum."
"Yeah. There's plenty of food in here. Some nice, warm cream puffs."
Jeri pulls out a piece of bread and then hands it over to Calumon. The little digimon looks at it hungrily with stars forming in his eyes. Calumon starts jumping for joy and takes the piece of bread that Jeri was holding.
Suddenly, the mysterious boy looks on from behind some tall trees while keeping an eye on Calumon and only Calumon for some apparent reason.
Calumon had quickly gobbled up the first piece of bread that Jeri had offered to him. Jeri pulls out another piece of bread and Calumon was crying out for another piece. Jeri happily hands over the whole bag of the bread to the every-so happy Calumon. The little digimon takes it and jumps around excitedly.
Jeri began eating and was noticing the red triangular shape that was embedded on the forehead of the innocent, Calumon. She looked at it beauty and a smile forms across her face. She quickly got up onto her feet.
"That's it. I've got it! Calumon! It's time. You're going to be mine and I will be your newest partner!"
Calumon stops eating and then looks up at Jeri curiously. She looks down at him with a devious smirk on her face.
"So what do you think? Do you even happen to like me," Jeri asked.
"Well… Um… I like your food. What else do you want me to like?"
"You know. I would make a perfect Tamer for you, do you happen to agree with me, Calumon?"
Calumon gasped and then fainted at what she had just said. Jeri looks down at him and then a frown comes across her face. She turns away with an angry look.
"Oh? That's not the proper way to treat to your Tamer. So you don't think that I'm capable of being your Tamer, is that right?"
"No! No! Its not that!"
"Oh yeah? Then what is it then? You know, just because I don't look like a Tamer, doesn't mean I can teach you. You could learn a lot from me."
Suddenly, a huge fog was popping out from underneath a sewer lid and Jeri was caught by surprise as a digital field was forming around the area that she and Calumon were standing at. The tiny digimon started to panic as a form was developing from within the fog barrier. Jeri looks over and sees two glowing, crimson eyes.
"Just who are you," Jeri asked frantically.
"Me? Heh, I'm your worst nightmare," a voice muttered from within the fog barrier.
[Anonymous music plays]
As soon as the fog cleared away, a rat-faced, creature stood with what seemed to be a half cybernetic and metallic body. There were two spikes thrusting out from his back and he stood on stick-like legs.
"I'm a Deva and I'm here looking for a fight! But you seem to have enough energy to collect," the rat creature said.
"Hey, are you looking for a partner? Because you seem to be good enough to be my digimon and I can be your Tamer," Jeri proposed.
"Me?! Never! I'll never sell my soul to the likes of a pathetic human such as yourself! I'm a Deva that works for the Dark One and since you are the first that stands in my way, I will destroy you first and load that digimon's data for my master."
"Ok! You leave me no choice!"
Jeri looks around her surroundings but then glances over to Calumon and quickly snatches him up. She holds him right in front of the rat Deva as Calumon looks on with two widened eyes of fear. The rat only chuckled, which caused Calumon to jump away flying. Jeri ran right after Calumon. The rat quickly gives chase to them.
They ran so fast that they started to tire out easily and were able to make it towards the water fountain. Jeri sat down while catching her breath.
"Is it safe?" Calumon asked.
"Looks like we're out of danger for now," replied Jeri.
But as soon as she said that, laughter was heard and the rat deva pops right out of the water fountain with his claws ready to attack. He was flying up after being shot out from the water. Just then, a rainbow was formed across the water fountain and the rat quickly noticed it. Out of nowhere, a huge ki blast came and nailed the rat deva, sending him flying down into the ground. The force of the impact caused a crater hole where the rat deva was laying.
Jeri and Calumon both looked up to see a mane-faced warrior with a sword at his side. A look of shock and joy came across the face of Jeri as she was gazing upon the lone warrior known as Leomon. Leomon had made his return. But hoe was he able to do so since the guardians sealed up all of the gateways in the Digital World, as said by Kari. This was considered as a shocker.
Jeri was looking through her deck of cards and then finds out that she has a card of Leomon. Then she looks back up to Leomon.
"Its Leomon. But, he's real? Wait a minute… I do remember seeing him on TV during the Virus battle and I thought I saw him in Kyoto years ago. I saw him. But could this be the same one?!"
The rat deva picked himself up and then growls while looking up at Leomon.
"How dare you?! You interrupted my business! You better stay out of this! This is Deva business!"
"You should learn to never pick on innocent, little girls, coward."
"How dare you call me a coward, insolent fool!"
As soon as the rat deva went flying up towards Leomon, the lone warrior quickly phases out and reappears behind him. He quickly pulls out his sword and then slashes at the rat deva, sending him flying back into the forest. Leomon hovered down onto the ground and put his sword away. Jeri goes running up towards him with a smile on her face.
"Leomon! Mr. Leomon! You were wonderful out there!"
"Thank you, kid. But I must be heading off in finding my comrades, the Digi-"
"Mr. Leomon, are you really my partner?"
"Huh? I'm your what? Partner?"
"Yes, your my partner, aren't you?"
"Look, I don't know what you're talking about, but I have no partners. I'm a lone warrior. Now I really must be heading off in finding my old comrades. The four guardians managed to send me off before the last digital gate was closed."
"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about, but you would make a good partner for me."
"Hey, little guy. Care to explain something about this strange human?"
"I think her brain is all funny."
"You keep out of this, Calumon. I'm trying to start a friendly conversation here. Isn't that right, Mr. Leomon?"
"Please, stop making those faces. I must go."
With that said, Leomon goes flying off towards the forest as he attempts to escape her sight and find the Digi-Destined to fill them in on his arrival, but he had to ditch Jeri first. The crazy girl went chasing right after him in the forest.
"Wait, Mr. Leomon! Its destiny for you to be my partner!"
Leomon hid behind a tree while watching Calumon and Jeri passing by. He quickly sighed a relief and was now prepared to head off to locate the Digi-Destined, but just as he was about to make his escape, he turned to see none other than Calumon flying over towards him and then calling out to Jeri.
"He's right over here," exclaimed Calumon.
Leomon gasps and then flies off into another direction. Calumon turns to see Leomon phasing out into the forest. Jeri comes running in through the forest while searching for Leomon as hard as she could. As soon as she was passing by, Leomon was hiding within Guilmon's bunker home. Jeri comes running by but then Calumon turns around to see none other than Leomon hiding in the darkness.
"Jeri! He's over-"
But Leomon runs up and snatches Calumon away just as the little digimon was about to finish speaking. He holds him tightly and cupped his mouth shut.
"You're going to give off my location! You keep quiet! I don't want her to come to me."
Just then, Takato and Guilmon were walking up towards the shelter. Guilmon stopped as he felt a very high ki level within the shelter. Takato took notice of this.
"What's wrong, boy? What do you see?"
"Somebody is in there."
They go walking up towards the shelter home and peer inside to see Leomon holding Calumon in his hands. Takato gasps when he saw Calumon, but even more shocked when he saw Leomon.
"Leomon?! No way!"
Calumon gets out of Leomon's grasp and then frees himself as he flies towards to Guilmon and Takato.
"Hey! Guilmon!"
Guilmon catches Calumon and then looks over towards Leomon. Takato looks over at his D-Ark and was getting a hologram image of the warrior digimon.
[Leomon. Champion-Level. Beast Type. Special Attack: Fist of the Beast King]
"Oh man! It's got to be that same Leomon from the Virus battle. He must be really strong if he was able to hold off such a powerful being. Guilmon, you know what to do."
"Yeah. Don't worry, Takato."
Guilmon goes over and gets into battle position, while preparing himself to fight Leomon. Leomon was very confused.
"I can't fight you. You're a Digi-Destined, aren't you?"
"No. I'm a Tamer. If you're looking for the Digi-Destined, some of them are here in the city."
"Forget it. He's mine, Takato."
"I don't want to fight you, but it seems that you have left me with no choice," Leomon said as he powers up with an aura flare surrounding his body.
Just then, somebody was heard crying out. Takato and Guilmon both turned around to see none other than Jeri running up towards them. Jeri looks over to see Leomon and she runs up to him.
"Don't fight him! He's my partner and I'm his Tamer."
"Huh? Jeri? He's yours?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Jeri. I didn't mean to," Guilmon said, "I was about to fight him."
"Its okay, Guilmon. I forgive you. But, Mr. Leomon, shame on you for running away from me."
"Wow, I can't believe that your partner is Leomon, Jeri!"
"Now, hold on kid! I don't know anything about this Tamer business, but you can leave me out of it. I'm a lone warrior and I was sent here to find my old comrades, the Digi-Destined. I would appreciate the help, but lets just keep this Tamer and partner business out, is that clear?"
"No, sir. Yes, sir," replied Takato.
"Now I don't know where I am, but I will be able to pick up the presence of the Digi-Destined through their own digimon. I must be heading off now-"
"No wait. Mr. Leomon, you must not go. We're destined to being together as a team!" said Jeri. "Isn't that right Leomon?"
Jeri looks up at him with dreamy eyes and a very innocent look on her face. Leomon simply looks down at her with a confused look on his face.
"Please, stop doing that. I mean it, kid."
"But, we're meant to be together. We're a team. We can work together and stop those Devas. They've been wrecking our city and that rat thing that attacked us was a Deva," Jeri explained.
"You had a run-in with another Deva?! Why didn't you get me," Takato asked.
"I would have but Leomon came and saved us," Jeri said.
"Wow, then he must be here for a reason, and that's not to be your partner."
"That's what I was trying to tell her," said Leomon, "I appreciate the compliments but I will always stand as a lone warrior. That's the why it is and that's the way its going to stand."
"I better call the other guys about this. Maybe they can help us out here. Then we can call the Digi-Destined and from there, you can rejoin with them," Takato said.
"Yes, because I was sent here by the four digimon guardians to warn them about an approaching darkness within another world that goes by the name of the Dark One."
"What?! We've had our battles against the Dark One and his henchmen, well actually just his Devas. We really have no idea of what he really looks like but every time we've had a battle against a Deva, each one had a 'D' marking on their forehead."
"Yes, and these Devas that you like to call them must be stopped, before it is too late."
"Then, we know what we must do, right," Takato said, "Stop these Devas, but I'm going to call Henry and Rika to meet me here and fill them in on the news. You guys stay here, I'll be right back."
As soon as Takato left to go find a nearby pay phone, Jeri looks over towards Leomon with a smile on her face. Leomon simply stands there and was turning away as if he were concentrating for the next, upcoming battle against the Deva.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, two ladies were seen walking through the park. One had beautiful, turquoise hair flowing like the ocean waves. She was wearing a white top and a peach skirt with red edges. The other was rather tall to be a lady. She has short, tan hair and wore a light blue suit like a man.
"Isn't it just great, Haruka? It's a beautiful day."
"On the other hand, it's pretty dull. I wish there were heart snatchers right about now. Those were the good times."
"But peace has been restored."
"Not with these reports of monsters appearing. Every time we've attempted to intervene, a group of children with their own monsters have stepped in."
"We should leave it to them."
"Michiru. Don't you miss being, Sailor Neptune?"
"Sure I do. But don't forget that we vowed to move on. Evil was vanquished."
"Evil never dies. Who even says evil truly exists. There are two sides on a coin, there's no doubt about that. Let's put it this way, what do you notice about the clouds in the sky?"
"It often gets cloudy and produces precipitation."
"True, but there's another ideal to it. Evil and good are on opposite sides. Once that cloud slinks in between those two forces, it produces a shade of gray. You mix light and darkness to produce a cloudy gray. There is truly no good or evil. It's rather to same if you look at it. Each of us has our own destiny and we have our own ideals. Earth might see us as heroes, but there are other worlds who will consider us enemies. Don't forget that."
"You are so right. What was I thinking?"
"I often ask myself that. The choices we've made in the past weren't the right choices. The Sailor Senshi saw us as enemies when we tried to take those pure heart seeds. We did anything to gain them, even if it meant taking the life of a another soul."
"We were doing the right thing in our own perspective."
"That's right. In my opinion, these kids are going to have to learn to who really are the enemy. We've been through it. Now it's their turn."
The former Sailors walked through the park to catch up on some pleasant memories. Little did they realize that a Deva is lurking within the forest.
Down from the other side where the Sailors were walking, Takato was on a nearby pay phone and was dialing up Henry's number first, while Jeri was following Leomon at every movement he makes and the brave warrior starts to grow weary of the young girl.
Takato managed to get a hold of Henry and hears a reply.
"Hello?"
"Henry. It's me, Takato. Listen. We got a bit of a little trouble here. There's a Leomon in the park and Jeri is starting to get a little bit obsessive of him. She told me that Leomon is her partner, but yet, Leomon declines."
"Does she happen to have a digivice?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to go ask her. He, Jeri?!"
"Yeah?"
"Do you happen to have a digivice?"
"No. I don't know."
"Henry, that's a negative."
"Is that all?"
"No, Jeri!"
"I see. I better take a look at this. I'm on my way over there."
As soon as Henry hung up, Takato looks over to see Jeri chasing Leomon while asking him to being her partner, but Leomon declined each time. Takato turns his attention back over to the pay phone and dials up Rika's number. He waits and then gets a reply from her.
"What is it?!"
"Oh hi, Rika. It's me. Listen, this is something you really need to hear. Guilmon and I ran into a Leomon today and now Jeri is starting to proclaim him as her 'partner'. But I don't know what to make of it?"
"Well, does she happen to have a digivice? That should be proof enough."
"No. I just told Henry about that."
"The she must be delusional! Ugh, whatever. I'll be right over there."
With that said, Takato hangs up the phone and then looks over towards Guilmon while shrugging his shoulders.
"Well, there's no sense in talking Jeri out of this, she's all over Leomon like white on rice. All Leomon came here for was to see the Digi-Destined and nothing else."
"Hey you! You're Takato, aren't you," a voice called out.
Takato turned around to see none other than Davis and Veemon.
"Hey Davis! Thanks for watching our backs lately."
"Ahh! It was nothing, but you guys were the ones that put that Deva away! You rocked!"
"And don't forget about us!" TK said as he came walking by with Patamon.
"Ack! I didn't even see you coming!" Davis said.
"TK! So, what are you guys here for?"
"Actually, we came here to see Leomon. Patamon had sensed his presence here and so I decided to see if he were around."
"Well, for the most part, he is here."
"Where is he?" Patamon asked.
Takato smiled with a sweat drop coming down his forehead. He pointed into another direction where Leomon was running away from the obsessive Jeri. TK and Davis looked on as they both fell backwards.
"Oh, Leomon. Running away from little girls again?" Patamon asked teasingly.
"Oh shut up! Lets see you run away from a little girl for once!"
"Well, at least, you can get a decent exercise out of this," Veemon said, "I really need an exercise."
Jeri rushed past them group and went over to catch up with Leomon, who was able to phase into the nearby forest. Jeri goes running in and then continues her search.
"I think Leomon should be safe for now," Takato said.
Suddenly, a loud scream was heard from within the forest and Jeri comes running out.
"Hey! What's wrong, Jeri? What happened?" Takato asked.
But soon his question was answered as Leomon comes flying out with his sword in tact. Kumbhiramon comes flying out as he charged right at Leomon. The brave warrior phases out of sight and then goes from behind and delivers a leg sweep to take down the Deva.
"Whoa! Is that the Deva?" Guilmon asked.
"Yeah. He's a Deva all right!" replied Jeri.
"Um, he doesn't look like that much a threat," Veemon said.
"Burizalor's henchmen had much higher kis than this Deva. He might be hiding his full power. We must be careful," Leomon stated promptly.
"Takato! I'm coming!" Henry calls out as he stops right.
The blue-haired boy looks over and then Terriermon leaps off his shoulder and onto the ground. Terriermon goes running up to the other rookie digimon.
"Just who is that?! Is that another Deva?" asked Henry.
"Yeah. There's a 'D' symbol on his forehead, so that pretty much explains itself. He looks nothing more than a dysfunctional rat whose body is really out of place. Lets take a look on the digivice."
The goggle boy looks over at his D-Ark and a hologram image of the rat Deva is displayed, plus some statistics on him.
[Kumbhiramon. Ultimate-Level. Deva Type. Special Attack: Deva Clone]
"Looks like Leomon is going to have his hands full," Henry said, "But why is he here?"
"I'll explain later," Takato replied.
"We should go out there and help Leomon!" Veemon said.
"No. Leave this for Leomon. We'll go in until he loses in the battle. He's handling that thing rather easily now," said Davis.
"So we wait here, TK?"
"Just for now."
[Dragonball Z "Buu Saga Battle theme" plays]
Leomon and Kumbhiramon go charging at each other as the rat deva lashes out his spears at Leomon, but Leomon managed to maneuver from each stab attempt. Kumbhiramon shoots out several small ki-blasts over at Leomon, but the warrior managed to easily phase away from each blast. Leomon jumps up right over at Kumbhiramon and then hammers him away with rapid punches. Kumbhiramon manages to block out with his armored claws.
"He seems to be taking that Deva with little difficulty," said Henry.
"You should have seen his battles before. He was only one of the few to ever make any hits on Burizalor many years ago. Plus he gave Artificial Jax a run for his money and even gave Virus a challenge during his early stages," TK said.
"Wow, he must be a very experienced fighter," Takato replied.
"He is and he won't lost to this thing. He's had much tougher foes than this," Patamon stated.
Jeri looks on and then a determined look came across her face. She looks over towards Takato's D-Ark.
"Takato! I want to see your digivice."
"Huh? But why?"
"I need to use it. Maybe I can give Leomon a little energy boost with one of my cards."
"Well, I'm not sure that won't work, but you can try. Here."
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Jeri takes the D-Ark and pulls out a card as she slashes it through Takato's D-Ark.
"Card Slash!"
But as soon as she finished, she looked on to see not even a single change to Leomon and a frustrated look came across her face. She went to try to slash it through her D-Ark once again.
"Card Slash!"
But the result was the same and no change was seen on Leomon, not even a single power up. However, Leomon was still holding off his own against Kumbhiramon.
"I guess… I wasn't ever meant to be a Tamer… I've failed as a Tamer…"
Takato looks over at Jeri and a worried look came across his face. He then looks back over the battleground.
Kumbhiramon smirks and Leomon was standing while attempting to catch his breath. Leomon takes notice of his adversary's smirk and questions him.
"Why the hell are you smiling?"
"You defend these humans, yet you are not strong enough to defeat me. What a shame. Now let me show you the true hidden abilities. Please take a note and realize that this is your final warning. Stay out of my business and let me crush these humans."
"Never. I will never let you kill the Digi-Destined or those other children."
"So be it."
With that said, Kumbhiramon screams out as a wave of energy shot out from his body. The ground surrounding the rat deva was starting to cave in and Leomon starts to sense his power. He merely sneers as Kumbhiramon quickly duplicates himself into six copies. They all surround Leomon as smirks came across their faces.
"Wait a minute! I saw Virus do this trick and it worked to his advantage yet at his disadvantage," Davis said.
"That's right. He's weakened after he splits into his halves. It's a big mistake on his part. But we should really go in there and help," TK said.
"You can count on me TK," Patamon said.
"Davish, now? Let me go in and have myself a little bash and bruising," Veemon said.
"No. I think Terriermon should go. We appreciate the help, but it should be time that we handle this situation on our own. Ready Terriermon?"
"As I ever will be. Lets do it!"
Henry pulls out a card and then slashes it through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"

"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
"I know you want to do this alone, but I want some of this! I haven't been out for a while! This is definitely payoff! Digivolve Patamon!"
"It's about time!"
With that said, TK's digivice released a glow and a bright beam encased Patamon. He underwent a powerful transformation into champion level. However, this wasn't just any ordinary champion.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Angemon stepped out from the light with a strong presence behind his aura. Takato, Henry, Guilmon and Galgomon looked on with gapping mouths.
"Angemon?!" they exclaimed in unison.
"You guys are in for a treat," Davis said.
[Angemon. Patamon's champion level. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Hand of Fate & Angel Staff]
"Give it to him, Angemon!" cheered Veemon. "I'll sit in the sidelines for ya!"
Just then, the mysterious boy looks on from hidden some nearby bushes as he made eye contact with Calumon, who was cheering for the battle during the whole time. A look of interest came across the boy's face.
The clones all start to attack Leomon head on but the lone warrior was able to hold them off one by one with his sword and several ki blasts. Angemon flew in and clobbered some with his staff. Gargomon goes charging right into the action to help out Leomon.
"Aww, why can't I get involved in the action?! I really wanted a piece of cheese-breathe," Veemon remarked.
"Don't worry, buddy. Your day will come again," Davis assured his digimon partner. "Those three have it in the bag. Unless Angemon is holding back, then that rat is a goner."
Calumon's red triangle was glowing and was the cause of the evolution for Terriermon. Takato turned to see the mysterious boy spying on them.
"Hey you! You won't get away from me this time!" Takato exclaimed.
The mysterious boy began to laugh as Takato decided to give chase to him. But the boy was able to run off faster than a normal professional runner would. Takato stops at his tracks and heads back towards the battleground.
"I'm going to find out about that kid one day. Next time, he won't get away from me that easily."
Rika and Renamon were able to arrive on the battlefield as Takato walked back. Takato took notice of them and smiled.
"Hey! Rika! We're so glad to see you have come!" Takato exclaimed.
"Sure, whatever. So this is the Leomon?"
"Yeah and he was pretty much taking on that rat deva, Kumbhiramon, but he was able to-"
"Clone himself. I know. Renamon was watching the battle before I came here."
"You saw the battle?" Takato asked.
Renamon didn't answer him, but she was more focused on the battle-taking place between the Deva, Angemon, Leomon and Gargomon.
"Bunny Pummel!"
"Hand of Fate!
Gargomon was able to uppercut a clone with his attack, but it merely able to distract him at the very moment. Angemon caught each clone with his Hand of Fate technique. The rat Deva didn't even attempt to cross paths with Angemon, since he would be obliterated.
"I'm guessing that Deva was able to sense Angemon's strong ki. He's scared to make an attack on him. He knows that Angemon will wipe him out in a heartbeat."
Leomon punched away at two copies flying right over at him. He turns around and was noticing Jeri crying. He growls under his breathe and looks back over at the clones.
"This one is for you, kid!"
Gargomon was firing away at each of the Kumbhiramon clones and was able to distract them at the very moment. Angemon took advantage and blasted each of them with his holy beams. They were all sent flying up. Leomon phases out and then reappears from above with his fist glowing. He thrusts her hand back and a lion-faced beam goes shooting out over towards the whole Kumbhiramon bunch.
"Fist of the Beast King!"
One by one, each of the Kumbhiramons were being deleted except for the original one, who was still falling down onto the ground.
"No! Don't!"
Leomon goes flying down as he pulls out his sword and a huge blasts comes shooting down over at Kumbhiramon. The rat deva could only look on as the beam goes shooting right through him and the sword penetrating through his head. He let out his final screams before he was quickly deleted into bits of red data.
Leomon was catching his breath and then placed his sword back onto his back and then looks over at the group.
"My work here is finished. TK. Davis. You two came to see me? Just follow me and I will tell you everything."
"Cool. So what's been new, Leomon?" Davis asked.
"It's been a long time," replied TK.
Leomon then looks over at the Tamers and then over to the sobbing Jeri. A look on concern was coming across his face.
"Goodbye, tamers. We shall meet again. I'm sorry, Jeri. Your tears will force me to stay here longer, but we shall might again. Be on your guard, Tamers. Your impressive and you could help us out in this war against the Devas."
Leomon goes walking off with the two Destined boys over into the sunset as they went to discuss about the events that have been occurring over the past few years.
Takato looks over to Jeri and goes to try to talk to her.
"Jeri, please try to understand. Lets just talk through this-"
"Stop! Leave me alone…"
Takato nodded as he walked away from the sobbing Jeri. Henry and Terriermon then headed off as they went to go home.
"See ya later, Takato. We can talk about this whole Deva thing over tomorrow or something."
"Ok, Henry. See ya."
"Lets go Guilmon."
"Poor, Jeri. Please don't cry. Things will get better. I promise," Guilmon said.
"Momentai, Jeri! Momentai!"
Jeri sat there as she looked over to see Leomon still walking off into the sunset with the two Digi-Destined.
"I wonder if I will ever become your partner, Leomon. I won't give up hope."
**************************************************************************************
Yugi looked on towards the skies as fate awaited him within a few days. The Battle City tournament was set to be underway. Just then, Yami spoke through the boy from the Millennium Puzzle. It seems as though the former Pharaoh is worried.
"Yugi…"
"Yami? What's wrong?"
"With all these monsters appearing in Shinjuku, I fear that a great evil will make its presence felt. I prophesize it to be cataclysmic."
"Cataclysmic?! But this is just in Shijuku, right?"
"I'm afraid it might be a global threat. The world is in danger. I know this has nothing to do with the great evil that might come back to defeat us in Battle City, but I had this uneasy feeling ever since those monsters started appearing in Shinjuku. We must be careful."
"I will, Yami. Once we win Battle City, we'll be ready for this great evil. We'll save the world twice if we have to."
Yami's prophecy seemed to be accurate. With all of these Deva attacks, would there be a major global threat to appear? Maybe even a great universal threat? Time would only tell when that time would come at hand.
**************************************************************************************
Later that night, Leomon was done discussing everything that he had witnessed over the past few years.
"And that's the whole story. There's another Digital World out there and the so-called Dark One is making refuge there as he plans on gathering as much energy needed to unleash a being that might be powerful enough to destroy the two Digital Worlds. This being is unknown to me."
"Whoa and its not only up to us, but also the Tamers to defeat these Devas?" Davis asked.
"Yes and the Devas were sent to gather energy for the Dark One, so the next Deva might not be our last."
"You got that right," replied TK, "I have a good feeling that the next one might be more powerful than the rest."
"A nice little story," a voice called out.
[Anonymous music plays]
The trio turned around to see the blue-skinned young being along with the panda at his side. Veemon and Patamon got into battle positions as they faced them off.
"You do not have to worry. They're not enemies," Leomon said, "They're more like friends and very powerful friends."
"Whoa! Wait a second. You know these guys?" Davis asked.
"They look kind of funny looking to me," remarked Veemon.
"Ah, but our hidden powers may deceive you and change your views about us," the young man said.
"Just who are you two? Kari claimed to have seen you but who are you really?" asked TK.
"We were sent here for a purpose, but you will know soon when the time is right, but there's much more important things to worry about. Takeru was right about one thing. The next Deva just might be more powerful than the rest."
Suddenly, the ground started to instantly shake around them and this caught the Digi-Destined by surprise.
"Whoa! What was that?" Davis asked frantically, "An earthquake but it felt pretty abnormal to me."
"It just maybe a sign of what's to come, Destined," the young man replied.
TK and Davis looked at each other in confusion and then over towards the two mystery beings. Leomon knew a whole lot about these two and he was ordered by the four digital guardians to not let them know until the time was right, and that time may very well come once the next Deva arrives.
**************************************************************************************
Next Morning…
The city of West Shinjuku was just as beautiful as ever. It was just a couple of days ago that the last Deva had attacked, but it was nothing major. Today could finally be a day of peace and quiet, but with the recent reports of abnormal earthquakes, that peace and quiet might come to an abrupt halt.
Walking down a sidewalk was a girl with jet-black hair. This was the same girl who watched TK and Kari attempt a kiss.
"Inuyasha…Maybe I was too hard on him…No! He's going to have to learn not to be such a jerk! I didn't go back to the feudal era just to be yelled at! The nerve of him…"
On the other hand, Takato took no exception to these recent earthquake events. He planned on going out to meet his friends over at the park. As soon as he went over to his family's bakery, he had forgotten to get the food that he had promised Guilmon. He grabs as much leftover bread as he could and just as he was about to go out the back door, his mother was calling out to him. He turned to see his mom crossing her arms.
"Takato! Just where do you think your going, young man?"
"I'm going to the park to play with my friends."
"Uh huh. Don't you have homework? You know that you can't get behind on your school work."
"But my friends are expecting me at the park."
"So you actually think that you're going to graduate for going to the park on a daily basis. You think that you're actually going to get good grades just for going to the park?"
"I'll do my homework later. I have to go."
As soon as Takato goes running out the door, his mother could only look on and place her hand on her face while sighing in disbelief.
"Man. She must have gotten graduated from the school of nagging."
Suddenly, the ground was starting to shake and the abnormal earthquakes were resuming once again. Takato was becoming quite concerned over these earthquakes that have been occurring lately. They've been getting bigger and bigger each time.
"These earthquakes are getting a lot worse. I just have that feeling that something is bound to happen today and it doesn't look pretty."
**************************************************************************************
Henry was also feeling the effects of the earthquakes over in his apartment. Just like Takato, he was now becoming very concerned about these recent earthquakes. He looks out over towards the window and begins to think if a Deva was coming.
"I don't have a good feeling about this."
Suzie was practically crying while holding onto Terriermon with dear life. The news came on the television and the reporter was discussing the issue that has been occurring as far as the abnormal earthquakes are concerned.
"These recent earthquakes have yet to be investigated but they have been continuous as the days pass. We will keep you informed on more information, now for these messages..."
Henry looks over towards Suzie, who was holding onto Terriermon. He walks on over and then reaches out for Terriermon.
"Suzie. Give him here."
"No! Tewiermon will protect me."
"Give him here, Suzie."
"But Henry. Where's daddy?"
"He's not here."
"Why?"
"He's at work. Now give Tewiermon to me."
"No…"
"Suzie!"
The little purple-haired girl looks up at her older brother in shock and lets go out Terriermon. Henry snatches up the floppy-eared digimon and goes to walk off towards the front door. He stops as he heard his little sister crying.
"I… wish… you weren't… my brother…"
"I'm sorry, Suzie. But I have to go…"
With that said, Henry goes walking out the door while carrying Terriermon along with him. Suzie was left all scared and not sure of what to do without Terriermon at her side.
************************************************************************************
TK was looking out his window while Kari was watching the news on television. He could remember the conversation that he and Leomon had a couple of nights ago.
"What if is was just a sign of things to come? He said something about a Deva being more powerful and bigger than the rest. I have a bad feeling that revelation might come true. But we all have to be prepared, Digi-Destined and Tamers alike."
"TK? What are you thinking about," Kari asked as she walked up to him.
"About the conversation I had with Leomon. He mentioned of a Deva to being more powerful than the rest. I think the time might come soon and with these recent earthquakes, that revelation just might come true."
"Oh. You also were confronted by those two mysterious being didn't you?"
"Yeah. I'm not sure if they are really on our side or not, but I do believe that they might have been sent here by the four guardians to keep a close observation on us, but for whatever reason, I have no idea. That little guy seemed to know a lot about us."
"I know and he's very interested in fighting my brother. He wants to see the true depth of Omega X's power."
"He must be crazy if that guy is challenging Omega X. He has no idea of what he's up against."
"You're wrong. I have a feeling that this guy is much more powerful than you least expect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have requested a one on one battle against Omega X," Gatomon replied, "Believe me, guys like him would usually hide the true depth of their full potential power."
"And remember, we still have to keep an eye out for this Deva," Patamon said, "And we'll be ready."
"You're right. We really just need to focus on that Deva attack and then put our focus on that guy's challenge. But I'm just not sure."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Henry was walking alongside a street while looking back at how he had treated his sister. He felt sorry for having to take Terriermon away from her and leaving her all alone. He noticed Terriermon making observations over him.
"I see it pretty interesting for us to walk along the streets. Plus, you didn't have to treat Suzie like that. I almost felt kind of sorry for her… Even if she does give me the Miss Pretty Pant treatment on me…"
"I'm just worried about a lot of things. I mean, the safety of my family, what the Devas might do, what would happen to the world and so forth."
Just then, he stops and comes across a poster that was taped on the window shelf of a store. He noticed something peculiar about it and goes to walk inside, but then gets caught by surprise as he saw Rika and her grandmother walking out.
"Rika? Whoa, its a surprise to see you here."
"Well, I was just shopping with my grandmother. I only wanted jeans. There was nothing else to do…"
"Yeah right."
Henry goes and asks the store manager for a copy of the calendar poster and receives one just like that. He goes and meets with Rika outside the store.
"Hey, Rika. You want to go and meet Takato over at the park. We can discuss our plans."
"Can I, grandma?"
"Well, your going to have to tell your mother that."
"Ugh, as always…"
Rika takes the phone and hears her mother nagging at her about shopping for the proper clothes.
"Rika. All you want is jeans, jeans, jeans. I mean you have no fashion sense. Where's the sport to that?"
"Look, mother. But I don't want to wear any stupid dresses. Besides, I'm going out with my friends to the park."
"But honey, you can't buy any dresses at the park. There are not even thrift stores there. Rika… Rika Nonaka, you answer me…"
"Sorry but I have to go…"
As soon as she handed the phone over to her grandmother, Rika heads off to the park with Henry.
"Mom, what am I going to do with her? She has no fashion taste and jeans won't do the trick. She's so into this tom boyish style…"
"Well, she is more interested in having friends more than her looks. Just let her do what she wants, being with her friends seems to make her more happier."
*************************************************************************************
Down within the underground sewers, Impmon was looking down upon his wounded body and was mumbling on how miserable he was.
"Just look at me. I'm nothing but a pathetic loser… After getting beat by that jackass Indramon, I seem to have lost all of my pride… I'm not good enough for this world… I should just roll over and die… Yeah, I'm better off dead anyway…"
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile back over at the park, Kazu and Kenta were hanging out with Takato as Kazu was performing several Card Slash poses but seemed to fail each time.
"Alright, here goes nothing! Card Slash! Matrix Evolution! Hiya! So, what do you think?"
"Not bad. Just needs a little more work, that's all."
"Heh. Soon, I'm going to perfect the stance one of these days. Now I wonder what kind of a digimon I would end up with."
"I'll probably end up with an Angemon," said Kenta, "Like the one from the Virus incident seven years ago."
"No way! Imperialdramon rocks your world, baby!"
"Or even Virus himself!"
"In your dreams, dude."
"Well, with all of these Devas appearing, there's a good chance that some good digimon might arrive to become your partners," Henry said as he came walking by with Rika.
"Yeah, just like Leomon," Takato replied, "But he seemed to walk away from her, but he knew that he had a mission, so I don't think he would count."
"Especially if it deals with his old friends, the Digi-Destined," stated Henry.
Just then, they all noticed Jeri sitting behind them from behind some bushes. The girl sat up and then walks over towards the group with a pack of cards in her hands.
"Ok, guys. I want one of you to teach me how to play," Jeri said, "I want to become a good card player, so I can become a good Digimon Tamer."
Kazu and Kenta looked over at the stack of cards that she had in possession. They both had widened eyes and open gaping mouths.
"Whoa! What did you do, spend up all of your allowance," asked Kazu, "That's a stack full!"
"No kidding! And you even got some of the rare ones!"
"I've been looking for this one for ages," Kazu said while pointing out to an Omnimon card.
"Careful, they're alphabetized," Jeri stated.
"Hey, tell you what. Maybe we can trade and I can give you a few pointers here and there," Kazu said.
"Ditto here," replied Kenta.
"I don't want to trade. I want to learn how to play," said Jeri.
"Then I should be the one who teaches you," Rika calls out.
Jeri turns around and then snatches up all of her cards. She runs over to the Digimon Queen with a smile on her face. Kazu and Kenta looked on with shocked expressions on their faces as Rika starts to give Jeri a few pointers on how to play the basics.
"Oh man, if she gets good as Rika, we'll lose all of our cards," said Kenta.
"Didn't you already lose all of your cards to me," asked Kazu.
"Ok. So that's a defense and you could use this to," Rika said but stopped as she noticed Jeri with a sad look on her face.
"Rika… You ever think that Leomon will come back to me?"
"I don't know. But, if he doesn't, you'll end up with another partner."
"Maybe your right. Thank you, Rika."
Calumon comes jumping by and lands on top of Jeri's head. She looks up at the small digimon with a smile on her face.
"Maybe Calumon could be your partner," Rika said.
Elsewhere, the boys were looking over the calendar and Kazu made a comment concerning bikini girls. But Henry had a serious look on his face.
"So what's so significant about this poster calendar? I see nothing but Chinese Zodiacs," Takato said.
"The Devas…"
The gasped in shock as they quickly examined each Chinese animal year and noticed a coincidence between the Chinese calendar and the Devas. Some of which have been in the form of these animals thus far.
"Have you noticed that each time that we have faced a deva, they have been in the form of an animal. Lets take a observation. Santiramon- Snake. Shinduramon-Chicken. Pajiramon- Sheep. Vajiramon- Ox. Mihiramon- Tiger. Kumbhiramon- Rat. Indramon- Horse."
"So, we still have to handle a pig, a dog, a monkey, a rabbit and a dragon?" Rika asked.
"Yeah and I wonder which Deva will be the most powerful than the rest. I have a feeling that it maybe bigger than we possibly think," Henry said.
"I just hope that it isn't the dragon. I really hate fire-breathers," Kazu said.
"Or fire, period," replied Kenta.
"We're just going to have to be on the look out and make sure that nothing odd starts going on, like those earthquakes. Stay on guard," Takato said.
They all nodded in agreement.
**************************************************************************************
Later that day, a bright sunset was descending upon the city and the group was soon about to head out to their homes after a long day.
"It's been a long day, but I think it would be safe to go home now. There hasn't been anything abnormal going on around here," Henry said.
"I agree. We should really be heading out," Takato replied.
"Ok, is it just me or are there more of us than we thought," Kenta asked.
"What do you? You've probably were counting yourself twice," remarked Kazu.
"No. I'm serious. One, two, three, four, five… Hmm, there's somebody behind us!"
They all turned to see none other than the mysterious boy making an observation over Calumon. He looks at the little digimon with tiny, beady eyes.
"Its him again!" Takato said angrily.
"What do you want," Henry asked.
"Man, this kid is really freaking my out and I usually never get freaked out by things like that," Kazu said, "But he's the weirdest of the weird! Geez."
"Looks like Jeri's got a boyfriend," remarked Kenta.
"Hey you! Tell us. What do you really want," Takato asked demandingly.
But the boy responded with a scream that caused them to cover their ears and allowed the boy enough time to get away. The group uncovered their ears and then looked over towards the boy, who stopped and 'twisted' his head all the way around, in a 180 degree angle, to get a good look at them.
"Geez, I couldn't twist my head all the way like that. I would have to be some kind of cork, in order to do that," Kazu said.
"Maybe, he's some sort of robot or something," Takato said.
"You guys. Maybe he just wants to be friends and we're not even giving him a chance. So I say we follow him," Jeri said.
Jeri goes running off to catch up to the "boy" but he was quick enough to speed off in the nick of time. The group headed out to follow Jeri into the city. The boy was running so fast that the group was unable to catch up to him. A devious smirk comes across his face and he quickly speeds off, leaving the group in a cloud of dirt.
"Geez, I wonder what kind of vitamins he must be taking," pondered Kenta.
"I don't want to find out, it might be pretty unhealthy for us," replied Kazu.
"Well wherever he is, he's gone now," said Takato.
Just then, as Guilmon was catching up to him, he quickly growls and senses the presence of a bio-emerging digimon. Takato takes notice of this.
"What is it, boy? What do you feel? Another digimon?" he asked.
Terriermon also turns around and faces the same direction that Guilmon was facing.
"Terriermon?"
"We've got trouble on the way."
[Fast-paced anonymous plays]
With that said, Guilmon goes speeding off into another direction and back towards the park. Terriermon goes and follows the crimson-skinned dinosaur. The group could only look on but then Renamon appears out of nowhere and advises them to follow them.
"If you guys are just going to standing there all day, I advise you to follow us over to the park. We can sense an approaching digimon on its way over and its energy level is huge," said Renamon.
"Lets go guys. There's no point in catching up with that kid. We got bigger issues to deal with," Takato said.
They all nodded in agreement as they headed out towards the park with Renamon quickly phasing right over towards the destination. As soon as the Tamers made it over to the middle of the park, a rather gigantic digital field was forming. Guilmon, Terriermon and Renamon were all lined up together as they faced off whatever maybe bio-emerging.
"What do you think it could be?" asked Jeri.
"Something, I really don't want to find out. But I have a feeling that it may just maybe it," Takato replied.
"Your right, Takato," Guilmon said, "Its what we feared."
As soon as the digital field cleared away, a rather large monster appeared with a huge snout, a pair of huge tusks and a large 'D' marking on its forehead.
"Whoa! That is seriously one big pig," remarked Takato.
The two mystery beings were looking on from a far distance. The short blue-skinned boy was the first to speak.
"The time has come," said the elf-like boy.
"Yes and now is the time to locate the Digi-Destined of Light. We shall see how truly powerful she really is," said the panda.
"The Tamers may hold it off for a little while but we must get the Digi-Destined for this. This will require everyone's participation. The time has come."
They both phased away while they began their search for the Digi-Destined of light they were speaking of, that would be none other than Kari Kamiya herself.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Ken and Yolei noticed their digimon with tensed looks. Wormmon and Hawkmon felt an uprising power from the boar deva.
"Wormmon?"
"Hawkmon?
"It's finally come," said Hawkmon. "Do you feel that Wormmon?"
"The Tamers are in for a battle."
"What are you guys talking about?" Yolei asked. "Is it another one of those Devas?!"
"There's no doubt about it," Ken replied. "C'mon we have to go meet with the others! There's no time to lose!"
*************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos headquaters, the operators were picking up a large mass of energy developing within the real world plane of existence. The energy was obviously coming from the pig creature itself. It was said that scanning the large creature would cause a major overload in the system. Even attempting to scan it would not work.
Mr. Wong and Yamaki were starting to have a major disagreement concerning the Juggernaut program. Yamaki insisted that it was to be used right away, but Mr. Wong was not very trustworthy of using it right away.
"Yamaki, you have to listen to me. Without any proper information, it would be very dangerous to use. We won't know what kind of a side effect it will have in the real world."
"As if I were to care what were to happen if I were to activate the Juggernaut. Do not question my authority. There's no choice and this will be the final nail to the coffin to those digimon once and for all."
"But you can't. Are you willing to risk our world just for this experiment?"
"As long as orders are being given to me, I shall not be held back. Are you willing to risk the safety of your own family for these artificial trash?!"
Yamaki looked over to the grid screen and saw a large mass forming into what seemed to be a very huge mass of data forming into the large pig that was standing in the park.
"Perfect. Now I can demonstrate the Juggernaut's full potential and that digimon shall make the perfect guinea pig."
*************************************************************************************
Back underground, Impmon was humming to himself on how worthless he has now become. He kicks a rock into a nearby wall and sighs to himself.
"I'm just totally useless. A joke. Nobody gives a damn… Heck, I don't even give a damn about myself… I haven't eaten for days, but that's fine. This way I can just crawl over and die…"
Suddenly, Impmon turned to see a small digital field forming from ahead of him. A look of satisfaction comes across his face.
"What's this? Is it a way back home? So, that's it? I'm not wanted here. I'm supposed to go back. What a joke, I'm not even needed there too."
**************************************************************************************
Izzy peered through his hotel window with astonishment. Tentomon trembled uneasily and sent an electrical blast through the window.
"Tentomon! The window!"
"Sorry, Izzy. But this is much more important than the window!"
"Inconceivable! My computer is picking up a reading from a high level presence that came out from the wormhole above those twin buildings!"
"Another Deva, Izzy. I can feel it."
"Deva? This doesn't look good! We have to warn the others! Looks like we'll definitely need Tai for this."
"Isn't Matt in town?"
"Yeah. We'll be sure to contact him. We better hurry!"
"Right!"
**************************************************************************************
The Tamers and their digimon were facing off against the massive pig. The digimon were shaking with anger as they felt the pig's energy level. This was perhaps going to be their toughest adversary thus far. Not even Indramon had this amount of power as this pig did.
"Man. I better take a look at this guy. Then, we'll know where we stand," Takato said as he looks at his D-Ark.
The D-Ark displayed a hologram image of the pig plus some statistics on him.
[Vikaralymon. Ultimate-Level. Deva. Special Attacks:]
Just then, Vikaralymon was slowly starting to move and was walking towards the city. He didn't even make an attempt at attacking the Tamers, which brought shock to the digimon. Then they noticed bits of data flowing from the back of Vikaralymon as he was slowly walking through the city and crushing anything that stands in his way as if he were a street sweeper.
"Where's that data coming from? Is that power being delivered to him," Henry asked.
"Either that or this pig has been taking digital showers as of late. But I can sure still smell him! Phew!"
"We've got to stop him! That fur of his is actually doing damage! And I really don't want to find out how destructive his powers really are. We have to be careful," said Takato, "So, are you guys ready?"
"Yeah, lets go Terriermon!"
"Right!"
"Renamon."
"I'm here, Rika."
"Jeri! You're going to have to stay here, because this battle may turn out to be really ugly. Kazu. Kenta. You guys think you can look after Jeri while we're off to battle against that porker," asked Takato.
"Don't worry, chumley. We got ya covered. Jeri will be fine with us."
"Same goes for Calumon too. Make sure that you win and score another one for the dream team."
"Oh brother, dream team? What's next," Rika muttered while rolling her eyes.
"Ok, there's no time for that. We've got more important things to do. Lets go, Tamers! Off into battle again," Takato exclaimed.
"I'm with you, Takato! Lets do it!"
The three Tamers pulled out an evolution card and then slashed them through their D-Arks.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"

[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Guilmon shinka! Growlmon!"
"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
"Renamon shinka! Kyuubimon!"
Suddenly, the army was coming right in as several helicopters were following along Vikaralymon's destructive trail. They were about to shot out missiles, but then they noticed that three champion level digimon were coming in towards the pig.
[Disturbed "Stupify" plays w/o lyrics]
Growlmon, Kyuubimon and Gargomon were coming across from another path as they started to attack Vikaralymon from different sides.
"Gargo Laser!"
"Dragon Wheel!"
"Pyro Blaster!"
The three powerful attacks were able to connect with Vikaralymon, but it seemed to not have any effect on the heavy fur that was covering the giant boar. It looked as though the coat was made of some sort of indestructible material that may also seem fireproof.
"It didn't even make a dent on him," Kyuubimon exclaimed.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Gargomon asked frantically.
"Who cares?! We'll attack with everything we got," said Growlmon.
The Tamers could only look on helplessly as Vikaralymon continues his destructive walk through the city, and shocked to realize that not even there three combined attacks of their digimon were ineffective against the woolly monster.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, the dispute between Mr. Wong and Yamaki was still heating up more than ever. It seems as though they wanted to grab at each other's throats but remained argumentative, without having to resort to violence. That was the last thing in the world that would want at a time like this.
After a long argument, Yamaki called for the Juggernaut to be activated, which did not suite well with Mr. Wong.
"Now all digimon shall be exterminated. Just you wait and see, Janyuu. They will be gone and this world will be safe."
"But I can't destroy all of the artificial life, especially the ones that befriended my son and his friends. It just feels like a total waste."
"After this, we shall construct a firewall, that way once all of the digimon are deleted, then we shall prevent from any bio-emerges to occur. Its best that way and you know it. Do you really want our world to be destroyed by these digital life forms?"
Mr. Wong stood there with a look of guilt on his face while turning away from Yamaki, whose ambitions to exterminate the digimon has gone straight to his head.
***************************************************************************************
The three Tamer champions got their second wind as they charged in to attack Vikaralymon once again. Growlmon was the first to attack with his Pyro Blaster and nails it right into the monster's back. Gargomon was the next to attack as he shoots out his Gargo Laser on one side of the powerful Deva. Kyuubimon jumps up from behind and fires away her Fox Tail Inferno over at the backside of the boar monster from hell. But the three attacks were still ineffective on the woolly beast, no matter which position to attack him.
"We still can't make a dent on him!" exclaimed Growlmon, "This is getting hopeless."
"What are we supposed to do now? Our digimon aren't even doing anything to him, let alone damaging him?" Henry asked.
"What if we can't beat him," Rika asked.
"No. There's only one-way to beat him and that's if we make our digimon go into their ultimate level forms. Its the only possible solution," Takato said, "Its worth a try."
"But we don't even have a blue card with us," Henry said, "So that's pretty pointless if our digimon can't go into their ultimate-level forms without the blue cards."
"But they appeared when we really needed them. Especially those times when we were near death situations against the past Devas."
"He's right. It's worth a try. Looks like I actually agreed with you on something goggle head, so get used to it," Rika said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah that's a first," Takato replies with a smile of his own, "Alright. We're going to have to think deep and down on this, or it isn't going to work."
Each Tamer pulled out a random card of their own as they started to think deep and hard from their feelings.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the city, Kari and Gatomon were running along while picking up several energy signals from her D-3. Tagging along behind her was none other than TK and Patamon. They noticed the devastation along the city and knew that it had to be the work of the newly bio-emerged Deva.
"Look at all of this destruction," said Kari, "And this is the work of that Deva. Ok, I've seen enough. Gatomon, we're taking action. You think you have a little fusion power within you?"
"I could ask you the same question."
"You better make up your minds, because it's getting really ugly out there," TK replied.
"Hold on. Child of Light, remain where you are," a voice called out.
The two Digi-Destined turned around to see none other then the spiky-haired, elf boy and his panda comrade. Patamon and Gatomon stood aside as they felt their energy levels. Any normal digimon would have made them leap into a battle stance, but not this time around.
"You two again? What do you want? Can't you see that there's a Deva out there destroying the city?!" TK exclaimed.
"Yes. We can see that. One of you must go out there right away, but I strongly suggest that you go, Takeru. The Child of Light needs to display her full power. We want to see it and we could put it to good use."
"But why do you need me and what do you mean my powers would be to good use?" asked Kari.
"Lets just say that it might be a way to defeating the rest of the Deva clan. Trust me, you have my word that Kari shall rejoin you in the battle," said the boy.
"But…"
"But nothing. TK show him a little respect. That is no way to talk to the Supreme Guardian," Leomon said as he came hovering down along with several familiar faces.
TK and Kari stood there with widened looks on their faces. The young man that they were talking to was none other than the ever power Supreme Guardian.
"The Supreme Guardian?! But I thought those were myths and legends told by the four guardians. So you the one," TK asked.
"Yes. My name is Shintomon. I'm one of the four supreme guardians that watch over the dimensional order between the digital and real worlds. Our power far surpasses those of the four guardians of the digital world. I have come here to warn you of an even greater threat than the Devas. But first we must defeat this pig Deva, in order to make that course of action. And my assistant here is Buddamon."
"But first, Hikari, show me your great power. We could put it to good use," replied Buddamon.
"Go on, Kari. Its ok," a voice called out.
Kari looked over and saw none other than War Greymon and Tai. She then sees Metal Garurumon with Matt, Davis with Xveemon, Sonja and Ken with Stingmon.
"Alright, if its ok with you, big brother…"
Kari looks over towards the two beings and pressed her D-3 against her chest as it started glowing a pink glow.
***************************************************************************************
Back over on the other side of the city, the three Tamers had managed to tap into their hearts to bring forth the power needed to bring the blue cards into existence.
"My mother always nags me because she only fears for my safety and wants what's best for me. If only I would listen to my mom more."
"My sister probably hates me for leaving her. But I'm only doing this to protect her. Please, forgive, Suzie."
"My mother may seem to always be nagging me for not dressing up like the way she wants. But I know deep inside, she loves me. I shouldn't always treat her like the way I do."
"I want to protect my sister."
"I want to protect my family."
"I want to protect the whole darn city."
One by one, each of their cards turned blue and the power needed to help their digimon evolve was now in their hands.
The Tamers took the blue cards and slashed them through their D-Arks.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Matrix Evolution!"

[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Growlmon matrix shinka! War Growlmon!"
"Gargomon matrix shinka! Rapidmon!"
"Kyuubimon matrix shinka! Taomon!"
Vikaralymon was about to make his next destructive march through another street but was abruptly halted by the three ultimates as they all stood in his way. They each powered up and auras flared around their bodies, indicating their true potential power. Vikaralymon was quickly taken by this and managed to keep his composure intact.
**************************************************************************************
Just then, Juggernaut had just been unleashed and a powerful beam goes shooting out from the rooftops of Hypnos and into the skylines, which was creating a massive energy field.
"Yamaki! I demand for you to stop this," Mr. Wong exclaimed as he grabbed Yamaki.
Yamaki pushes him away and then shouts in anger at him as if he had already lost his mind.
"Keep your hands off of me! The destruction of all the digimon has now begun. There's nothing you or your colleagues can do now."
"No! Henry! I'm sorry…"
Another huge beam comes shooting out from the twin towers of the Hypnos building, which was indicating that something bad was soon about to happen.
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined group, along with Shintomon and Buddamon, watched on as Kari's body was transforming into a pink aura of light, which was also happening to Gatomon at the very same time.
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
"Gatomon! Fusion Shinka!"
The two managed to merge together as they became one single mass of pink energy. The ground started to crumble under the massive energy and the two power beings were quickly caught off guard by what they were feeling. Her energy level was massive.
As soon as the light faded away, the fusion form of both Kari and Gatomon stood in their place. A young woman stood with a pink get-up suit that looked similar to an Amazonian warrior woman, with white leather boots, long-blonde hair, heavenly blue eyes, a long staff with a spear at the end and a nicely shaped figure.
"So, what do you think," she asked, "We are now Celesta X. We are the fusion of Gatomon and Hikari. The single force that defeated Virus even years ago."
"Yo, TL, Kari still has it in her and her fusion form still looks as good as ever," Davis remarked.
With one loud smack, Davis' wife, Sonja smacked him in the back of the head. TK laughed as Davis was holding the back of his head. Sonja was once one of Datamon's most dangerous artificals, but turned to the side of the Digi-Destined during these last seven years. Despite looking like a normal human, she has extraordinary powers.
"What a remarkable energy!" said Buddamon.
"Yes, but I wonder how long that will last," said Shintomon.
"What do you mean by that?" Tai asked.
Shintomon looked over at the top of a nearby roof where the mysterious boy was sitting with a devious smile on his face. The boy then looked down over the aura-glowing Celesta X, while holding an energy drainer in one hand.
Over on the other side of town, Vikaralymon came to a complete halt as War Growlmon, Taomon and Rapidmon stopped in his path.
We got a major catastrophe in our hands! On one side, we got a super powerful boar hell bent on causing more destruction and on the other we got a fully powered fusion warrior. We did manage to find out the true identities of the two power beings, Shintomon and Buddamon. The Tamers are at a tight pinch!

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
A World Apart! Advance Toward the Wind!
The city of West Shinjuku was now put under siege as a result of the digimon invasion that has been occurring. It hasn't been this bad ever since Virus was threatening to destroy the two worlds seven years ago.
But this time around, there are now Tamers to aid the Digi-Destined in the battle against the Devas. On one side, the Tamers went to confront the boar beast known as Vikaralymon. The Digi-Destined were confronted by Shintomon and Buddamon elsewhere, as they sought to see the true depth of Kari's full power. And they got it as she and Gatomon fused to become Celesta X.
Most importantly, the Tamers were now going prepared in the battle against Vikaralymon. The pig looked over to see War Growlmon, Rapidmon and Taomon.
"Phew! What's that smell?" Rapidmon asked, "I'm about to gag over here."
"Well, what do you expect? It's a pig," replied War Growlmon.
"This is something not worthwhile to look at. I hope we end this battle soon," said Taomon.
"War Growlmon!"
"Rapidmon!"
"Taomon!"
The three ultimates responded as they were powering up with flashing auras surrounding their bodies, demonstrating their true hidden powers. Viakaralymon would only look on while his data was somehow being released into the sky, and at the same time, influencing the Juggernaut.
*************************************************************************************
Celesta X stood her ground, as her glowing aura was getting brighter. Shintomon and Buddamon were both shocked at what they were looking at. A very rare fighter in their view and something never seen, but they knew that this technique was quite powerful. They were showing great interest in her.
"So, is this what you wanted?" asked Celesta X, "I'm at my full power. And you did say something about how long this could last? What did you mean by that?"
"That!" exclaimed Shintomon.
He points up as the whole group looked up to see the mysterious boy coming right down at Celesta X with an energy drainer in one hand.
"Alright. Time to show you what I'm made of," Celesta X said while powering up an attack.
But just as she was about to fire her attack, Shintomon cried out and held his hands out. He manages to send a magical spell that froze Celesta X in her place; Tai jumps off and goes to confront him.
"What the hell was that for?! You just froze her in place!"
"I want you all to keep back! Now!"
Celesta X couldn't move a muscle and was helpless as the boy jumps onto Celesta X's back. He then stabs the energy drainer into her side, which caused her to scream out in bloody murder. Shintomon held Tai back while the others went into try to stop the energy drainer. But Buddamon was able to stop them with an energy field.
"You all will stay out of this. Trust us, we know what we're doing," said Buddamon. "Just hang in there, Hikari. It will all be over soon."
Celesta X was literally screaming to the top of her lungs while the mysterious boy was draining more of her energy with the device that he was using. A bright aura of light was sucked right into the device and the process was almost complete. Tai growled in anger and could only watch as his own sister was crying out.
"He's killing her!" TK exclaimed.
"No. Just trust me. It will be all over soon," replied Shintomon.
The mysterious boy releases the device from Celesta X's side and then leaps down onto his feet. He looks right down at the device and gathered as much energy as he could get. An evil smirk comes across his face.
"Ha. Now we have enough energy for my master's needs. My work here is done."
With that said, the boy goes hovering up into the air. The Digi-Destined watched as he quickly flies off into the distance. Tai runs over towards his fallen sister and kneels to her side. TK goes over and helps Tai pick up Celesta X. Since nearly all of her energy was drained, she quickly defused back into Kari and Gatomon. Tai looked down and noticed that Kari was pale and drained of her energy.
"Shintomon. We have to get her some medical help! She's lost tons of energy and she could die."
"No."
"Listen to yourself, Shintomon! Your just going to leave Kari like this?" TK asked frantically.
"I say no, because my assistant, Buddaman, shall heal her. Buddamon, if you will."
"Yes."
Buddamon goes walking over towards Kari's fallen body and then places his hand over her head. Suddenly, a bright aura was glowing in his hands and the light was starting to cover Kari's body, as if she were already being healed.
"So, what's the deal? Why did you let that creep drain Kari of her energy?" asked Davis.
"She could have killed in the process," Ken replied.
"No. His intentions were not to kill her but to gather her energy for the Dark One. We must find him as soon as possible."
"But we've got a Deva out there hell bent on destroying the city," said TK, "We just can't leave the Tamers to battle him alone."
"I believe the Tamers have this on in the bag. They won't need your help, Digi-Destined. Buddamon and I have all of their battles against each of the Devas, and they've proven to be much stronger than any of you were during your early days. Even their ultimate level digimon have proven to be just as strong as a first level fusion warrior."
"Wow, they must be some super powerful if they're power levels are that high," said Tai, "But I agree, lets leave this with the Tamers. We've got more issues to deal with."
Buddamon finishes healing Kari and quickly sits up while looking over to the skylines. Kari opened her eyes and sits up while holding her head. Tai and TK go over to lift her up onto her feet.
"What just happened? Huh? I'm back to normal? But how?"
"You got drained of your energy by a Deva," Shintomon said, "Yes, that was no ordinary boy. It was a Deva and I also know a reason why he came here. He seeks to find the power source of digivolution itself."
"The power of digivolution? Was kind of course could he be looking for?" asked Kari.
"Calumon," muttered Leomon, "Its Calumon! He's with the Tamers as we speak! If that Deva were to get to Calumon, then the Dark One will also gain the power of digivolution and who knows what kind of an army he could create with that kind of power."
"There's no time to waste. We must go and find that Deva right away," said Shintomon, "Digi-Destined, its really up to you whether you want to help us or not. But I would appreciate it."
"Don't worry. You got our support, Shintomon," said Tai, "We'll follow you along."
"But, my power is gone completely?" Kari asked, "I mean I got drained of my energy."
"Your power was restored when I healed you. You should have enough to reach your fusion form again."
"I'll save that for later. I think Gatomon could use a little ultimate level power right about now. Ready for a little angel power, Gatomon?"
"You bet. I'm ready to get this cat out of the bag."
"Lets do it!"
Kari's D-3 glowed as shoots out a beam of pink light over to Gatomon. She now had the power to digivolve herself straight into her ultimate-level form.
[Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Gatomon chou shinka! Angewomon!"
"You better evolve too, Patamon," TK instructed.
"Right!"
TK's D-3 glowed and shoots out a beam of gold light over to Patamon. He now had the power to digivolve himself straight into his champion-level form.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"This is it, Digi-Destined! This is the moment of truth. Follow me," said Shintomon.
He goes flying off into the distance along with Buddamon. The Digi-Destined each nodded their head to one another, and they one by one followed Shintomon along.
"Hey, Sonja, why did you come along? Its really good to see you again," Kari said.
"Well, I just couldn't let my glory hound husband get himself a piece of the action all the time, so I decided to tag along. I really hate being a housewife. It just doesn't suite me right. I'm a fighter, not a maid."
"Well, you could have asked me before but you said that you had tons of shopping to do. But nonetheless your here," replied Davis.
"Hey guys! Let's have less arguing and more concentrating. We're out to look for a Deva here," Xveemon said.
"Right."
The digimon each boosted up their energy as they quickly flew off into the distance to follow both Shintomon and Buddamon along.
Looking up were two ladies. One of them has long, turquoise hair and the other has golden, blonde hair. They watched the entire digimon fleet soaring through the skies.
"What was that, Kiyone?!"
"Looks like they're about to kick some ass. It's about time something was done about this."
"Um, do you have anymore chocolate pretzels?"
"You're such a pig, Mihoshi."
***************************************************************************************
[Rage Against the Machine "Wake Up" plays]
Back over at the battlefield, the Tamers looked as while their digimon were beginning their attacks on the giant boar Deva. Rapidmon was the first to attack.
"Here try these on for size! Rapid Fire!"
Rapidmon fired away a barrage of missiles over at Vikaralymon, but as each missile made direct contact, they made no effect on the boar. Rapidmon was growling under his breath and couldn't believe his eyes. Vikaralymon retaliated as he spat out black ink at Rapidmon, as it traps him. Rapidmon tried to escape but the ink was too strong and held him tightly.
"Ack! I can't move! This stuff stinks!"
"Talisman of Light!"
With one wipe of her brush, Taomon sends down a bright beam over at the Deva, but it still had no effect on the giant porker. Taomon was shocked beyond belief. War Growlmon steps right in front of Vikaralymon with his arms stretched out. Vikaralymon spits out a cloud of black ink over at him, but War Growlmon uses his arm blades to cut his way through the ink with tremendous ease. War Growlmon goes charging over towards him, the boar opens his mouth and spits out a huge energy ball. War Growlmon stops at his tracks and watched as the ball was coming towards him. He goes and tries to push it back
"War Growlmon! Try to push and lift it back! You have to power out of it! You must!"
"I'm trying my best, Takato! But he's much too strong. I don't think I can hold back much longer."
As soon as he said that, the energy ball was slowly overpowering War Growlmon and pushing him further back. The cyborg tries with all of his might to reflect the energy ball, but he was slowly losing his footing and his momentum.
The boar Deva manages to spit out another cloud of ink that manages to trap both Taomon and Rapidmon. They couldn't break free and were now vulnerable to Vikaralymon's oncoming onslaught.
"Now! I think its time to open the gate! Your world will be sent straight to hell!" Vikaralymon roars.
The Tamers looked up into the skylines and there were tons of images of digimon behind the Juggernaut. Each one was calling out for the gate to be opened. The children were shocked beyond belief at what they were seeing.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing," Henry said.
"The two worlds are about to collide with one another. If that were to happen, then we might as well kiss ourselves goodbye," said Takato.
"This could be it you guys!" Rika replied, "Well, at least, we went down trying."
"No. I won't give up. We won't give up. Besides, we have to prove our worthiness to the Digi-Destined. I have a good feeling that we could be just as good as they are, or even better," Takato said.
"Well, I guess its safe to say that your 'old pal' Yamaki is messing with the sky again, Henry."
"I hate to say it, but you might be right."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, Yamaki and Mr. Wong were still having their argument over the use of the Juggernaut program. But it seems Yamaki was winning the argument thus far and wasn't about to stop his program anytime soon.
"Your responsible for all of this. It was you that created the digimon and now one of your creations is out there destroying the city as we speak," Yamaki said.
Mr. Wong looks over at a computer monitor and noticed Vikaralymon on the screen. His eyes widened in disbelief at how advanced his artificial life form had now become. He thought this was just a bad dream, but it was all reality. There's nothing dreamy about this.
"But… I never designed that… That's just not right…"
***************************************************************************************
Rika was shuffling through her cards and noticed that she had nothing but a bunch of useless cards that would not help Taomon.
"Oh these cards suck! I can't find the proper one for Taomon!" Rika exclaimed, "Its useless! I can't even help Taomon."
"No, Rika. I believe that it's the cards that always help our digimon," Henry replied.
"What do you mean?"
"The power for our digimon isn't gained through our cards, but in the power of our beliefs. I think this because each time that we really needed our digimon, they have always been there to save us from thick and thin, no matter how great the crisis is."
"Henry is right. I felt War Growlmon's pain before and there was a connection between us, as if our souls and bodies were connected into one mind. Its time to show our digimon our love and trust we have for them. Then we could use those attributes to make our digimon stronger."
***************************************************************************************
Back at Hypnos, Mr. Wong noticed his own son on a monitor and had a look of fear on his face. He feared for his own son's survival and couldn't stand being around Yamaki any longer. He couldn't stand being away from his son and taking away Terriermon just to please Yamaki and his goal of eliminating every single digimon in the real world.
"I can't stand this anymore! Henry is out there and he needs me! I can't stand this anymore!"
"Ha. Face it, Janyuu. There's nothing you can do as long as the Juggernaut is still running. Looks like I win this little game. Say goodbye to your digital pets."
Mr. Wong finds his way out through an exit door and several security guards were running up to them.
"Hey you! We can't let you leave the premises!"
"I'm sorry. But forgive me for doing this."
As soon as he said that, Mr. Wong knocked one guard down with a chop to his head and takes the other two down with thrusts into their abdomens. Mr. Wong walks away and heads out towards an elevator that would lead him down to the ground level.
"Hang on, son. I'll be down there shortly. I promise."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, over at the battlefield, Taomon was able to create a shield for herself and Rapidmon. This would be a way to protect themselves from another one of Vikaralymon's attacks.
"I hope this shield will be strong enough to hold off that pig's attacks," Taomon said.
"I just hope your ying doesn't get yanged," Rapidmon replied.
Just away from the battlegrounds, Jeri, Kazu and Kenta were walking through a temple shrine. Calumon was with them, in Jeri's arms. Jeri looks down and notices Calumon muttering himself in fear.
"Calumon?"
"Oh no. I don't want to play that game. I don't want to go back. No. I don't. Please no."
"Calumon? What are you talking about? You're talking weird."
"Don't let them get me, Jeri. I don't want to go back."
The Juggernaut was now beginning to have its effect on every single digimon, including Vikaralymon. Even the Digi-Destined's digimon were being effected.
"Kari! I can't seem to hold my form much longer."
"Davis, what's happening to me?"
"Ken!"
One by one, each of the digimon's bodies were slowly fading but they managed to remain stable at the very moment. Shintomon took note of this and looks up into the skies.
"Its not what I think it is, is it," Shintomon asked, "Its that program again. It erases digimon out of existence. Hurry, we must avoid it at all costs."
"But what is this program?" Tai asked, "And how come our digimon are being erased."
"Its the Juggernaut program. It's a program intended to delete all digital life forms and that even includes digimon. Even us supreme guardians are not immune to it," replied Buddamon.
"It doesn't seem to be effecting me," Sonja said, "That's because I'm not made of data like you guys are."
"We can't let that distract us from searching for that Deva," said War Greymon, "What do you say guys? Enough of this moping around and get our attention back on what we're looking for."
"Agreed. We can't let anything hold us back," Metal Garurumon replied.
They each nodded their head in agreement, which brought a smirk across the face of Shintomon.
"Lets allow the Tamers to take care of the pig Deva, and we can buy them some time as we search for that other Deva. Maybe we still have a chance of catching up to him. Lets go."
With that said, the group flew out as they continued their search for the Deva that drained Celesta X of her energy earlier ago.
Back over at the battlefield, the shield that formed around Taomon was slowly beginning to get deleted by the Juggernaut program. Rapidmon could only look on in horror at what he was seeing.
"Our ying is getting yanged! Crap! I shouldn't have jinxed ourselves!" Rapidmon exclaimed.
"Damn! I can't seem to make it any stronger," Taomon said, "Its getting deleted."
"Taomon! No! It's going to delete you!"
"Rapidmon!"
"Henry!"
The young boy turns around to see his own father running up towards him while catching his breath. Henry goes running to his father and then points over to Rapidmon.
"Dad! They're about to get deleted! We have to do something, before its too late."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Hypnos, Yamaki stood triumphant as he was soon about to claim victory over the digital life forms.
"Yes! Soon, all digital life shall be deleted. Nothing will stop me from achieving my goal."
But as soon as he said that, the whole room was starting to get covered by a bunch of Zeroes and Ones. Something was also happening to the Juggernaut program as well.
"Sir! Something is happening to the Juggernaut program! It seems something is overloading the system," Riley said.
"Ugh! Its that binary machine language again," replied Yamaki.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the same two women who were strolling through the park during the day the rat deva bio-emerged were seen in different outfits.
"Should we attempt to help them?" the lady with the turquoise hair asked.
"No, Neptune. This is their battle. They will eventually learn how to defeat their enemy."
"They're just children…"
"Very special children. We must not interfere."
With that said, the two Sailors vanished within the darkness of the park forest.
Over at the temple shine, the mysterious boy confronted the three kids. Calumon looked over at him with a frightened look on his face.
"What do you want?! We don't have time for you," Kazu said.
Jeri looked over at the mysterious boy and looked deep into his beady black eyes. She held Calumon tightly like a mother protecting her child. The mysterious smiles and then peers over towards Calumon. He then started to speak. Everybody was able to hear his voice, even the people over at Hypnos. It was as if he were speaking to everyone telepathically.
"As you all know, it was you humans that created us and the world that we lived in. But it's such a shame that not only have you managed to destroy your own world, but also managed to destroy ours. So, we've managed to evolve and adapt to our environments. The only way for us to survive was to destroying anyone or anything that threatens to destroy us. And you're holding a key to that problem. We digimon have something planned in store for you. So as of now, we really don't care what you do to this world for soon it will be ours for the taking."
Jeri stood there and started to back away while holding tightly onto Calumon. The mysterious boy points his finger over at the children and then over to Calumon.
"You have something that I want."
**************************************************************************************
Deep down in the underground sewers, Impmon was still muttering to himself and bashing himself for being such a total failure. But just then, a turned around to see a digital gate opening up and he could hear a voice coming out of it.
"What's the matter? Are you feeling sorry for yourself?"
"No! And who the hell are you? What do you want?!"
"I have a key to your problem with digivolution. I can help you attain this power. But you have first enter this digital gate and I will tell you everything you need to know."
"Huh? Why should I trust you?"
"It's for your own good and I could give you what you long craved for. Isn't that what you always wanted?"
"I guess you do have a point… Maybe I can consider on your deal."
**************************************************************************************
The mysterious boy walks his way over towards Jeri and Calumon as he began humming to himself, but Kazu and Kenta cornered Jeri as if protecting her. But the mysterious boy continued to walk up towards them still humming a tune.
"What do you want from us?" asked Jeri.
The boy stopped and turned his head in a 180-degree rotation as he quickly replied to their question.
"Just give me what I want."
"What is it that you want?" Jeri asked with fear in her eyes.
"No, please! I don't want to go back! Don't let them take me! Please, don't," Calumon said as if he were begging.
Suddenly, a strange aura surrounded the mysterious boy and his body quickly started to transform. He became more monkey-like and stood there with an orb in his hands. The three children looked on with shock at what they were seeing. The mysterious kid turned out to be a Deva.
"I am Makuramon."
"Whoa! That was some tripped out crap!" remarked Kazu.
Makuramon lets out a scream that managed to echo throughout the city, and everybody was caught off guard by it.
Shintomon stopped at his tracks as the others stopped as well. Shintomon turned around towards the location of the temple shrine and felt an enormous ki level coming from Makuramon.
"The Deva that we have been looking for has released his full power. That Deva was the monkey, Makuramon. It seems that he has found Calumon."
"No! We got to go stop them!" exclaimed Tai.
"No, wait. I have a feeling that the Juggernaut won't pose much of a threat any longer."
"What do you mean?"
"Just watch, Kari. You shall see for yourself."
With that being said, Makuramon goes leaping up into the air as he quickly throws the orb into the skylines above and watched as the orb reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. As a result, this caused massive shockwaves to occur within the building of Hypnos. Several explosions were occuring and the entire place was soon falling down. There were explosions heard and the crew workers were each beginning to abandon the building as soon as possible.
"Yamaki! There's a complete failure within the system! We have to evacuate now!" exclaimed a co-worker.
Talley goes falling out of her chair and lands hard on her backside. She manages to get to her feet and goes to pull Riley out.
"I knew something like this was going to happen," exclaimed Talley.
"We have to get out of here now!"
"Stop right there! Are you abandoning your duties?!"
"Sir, I've now realized that my life is much more important than your cause. Get out of here, sir. Its all over."
The building was starting to explode from the outside as well. The workers were quickly getting themselves into nearby elevators in order to evacuate as soon as possible.
Yamaki turns around and notices Riley looking over towards him. The man sighs in disbelief and looks down.
"Riley. Get out of here, before its too late."
She nodded and goes running out of the building, leaving Yamaki by himself. He soon goes walking out and then had a disappointed look on his face. His goal had been shattered and his hopes of deleting every single digital life forms has collapsed before him.
**************************************************************************************
"Its over! The Juggernaut has been put to a halt. We can now make our move. Makuramon probably has sensed us from the far distance and knows that we're after him. But we must go and find him before he gets away," Shintomon said.
"Right!"
The group goes flying off into the distance as they continued their search for the monkey Deva. Shintomon looked down at the landscape and was picking up several energy levels over at the battlegrounds.
The group looked over to see Vikaralymon regaining his power, as well as Taomon and Rapidmon, whose energy was quickly restored to them.
"I'm back, human filth! You still wanna play?!" Vikaralymon called out.
[Deftones "Shove it" plays]
War Growlmon was still trying to punch the energy ball back, but was still stuck down onto the ground. Jeri and the others arrived to meet with the Tamers.
"Takato! You won't believe at what we're about to tell you," Jeri said, "But that mysterious boy that we were chasing was Makuramon. He was another one of the Devas."
"No! Al right! That's it! War Growlmon! We're taking this porker down, now!"
"Takato? He's about to get deleted if you don't do something," Henry said.
"I know. Its time to toughen up! I can't stand being at the sidelines. I'm going to help War Growlmon, whatever it takes! Nothing is going to hold me back!"
"That boy definitely has the power, Buddamon. And I have a feeling that his power will far surpass those of the other Tamers."
"You really think so, Shintomon?" asked Tai.
"Yes, Kari had taught him to control his emotions when giving his digimon a much needed power boost. It was done when you and War Greymon were working together. And it definitely did favors for you sister, Kari. Now, it will do the same for Takato. Watch and you'll know what I mean."
The group looked down over at Takato, who was screaming out to himself. War Growlmon was still struggling to push the energy ball back, but Takato quickly clenched his fists and continued to scream out. What he was doing was trying to reach down inside of himself and getting in tune with his primal self that would soon empower War Growlmon.
War Growlmon felt Takato's power and quickly powers up with a glowing aura flowing through his body. He screams out and slashes right through the energy ball. War Growlmon gets into a stance while facing off against Vikaralymon. Takato was still screaming as War Growlmon continued to approach Vikaralymon.
"Fusion Ball!"
With that said, War Growlmon goes flying right through the energy ball and slashes through it with ease. Vikaralymon looked on in shock. War Growlmon goes charging and then grabs a hold of the pig's tusks.
"Alright! We got him now, War Growlmon!" exclaimed Takato.
The other Tamers screamed as well to give Takato more motivation to make War Growlmon as strong as possible, but they screamed in order to help out their own digimon.
"Would you guys stop wit the screaming?! Geez!" remarked Rapidmon.
"It's happening. Takato is the one," Shintomon said, "There's no mistake, he's going to be the next that surpasses the other Tamers. He's demonstrating that power as we speak."
"Whoa, he must be the most powerful Tamer then. That pig is toast!" Davis said,
"Go for it, Takato! You can do it!"Kari said to herself.
While screaming, Takato used his energy, which allowed War Growlmon to push Vikaralymon off of his feet and onto his side. Vikaralymon was unable to get to his feet and struggling to get up, which allowed War Growlmon his chance to attack. His breastplates opened up as a red massive energy beam comes shooting out towards Vikaralymon.
"Atomic Blaster!"
War Growlmon kept the blast straight on with Vikaralymon and watched as the monster's body was slowly dissipating into small bits of data. A huge explosion occurred as the last bits of Vikaralymon's data slowly faded away. War Growlmon stood there while catching his breath.
"Whew, that was one mean sausage machine."
"Oh my… This has now become a war between the two worlds! I can't believe that this is really happening," Mr. Wong said.
The Tamers each sighed a relief as their digimon went over towards them.
"Way to go, War Growlmon! We nailed him!" Takato exclaimed.
"That's my goggle head," Rika muttered.
"Hey guys!" a voice called out.
They looked up to see none other than Kari along with the other Digi-Destined, those being Matt, Tai, Ken, Davis and TK.
"Whoa! I can't believe what I'm looking at. The same warriors that participated in the War Games seven years ago," Henry said, "There's War Greymon, Metal Garurumon, Angemon, Angewomon, Xveemon, Stingmon, Leomon and I've never seen that young woman with them."
"Oh don't worry. That's just my wife," said Davis, "She decided to tag along. She sided with us during these past seven years."
"More like the other way around," replied Sonja.
"Hey, wasn't my fault that you wanted to be with me. Besides, you always found me pretty damn hot."
"Please… You're not hot… I just married you for the money," Sonja marked.
The Tamers all laughed at their arguing and that brought Shintomon's attention over to Takato.
"You did very well out there, Takato. There's no doubt that you and Guilmon have more hidden powers within you. Soon, you will bring that out."
"Wait a minute, how do you know about me and Guilmon? And just who are you?" Takato asked.
Just then, Jeri and the others go running up towards Takato, but just then a mysterious figure phases out of nowhere and snatches Calumon from Jeri's hands. The young girl turned around to see Makuramon holding Calumon in one and the energy drainer in the other.
"Help! Takato! Guilmon!"
The Tamers turned around to see Makuramon with Calumon and the drainer in both of his hands. The Digi-Destined looked on as their digimon growled as if ready to attack. Shintomon and Buddamon stood their ground while looking over at Makuramon.
"Since you weren't able to give me what I wanted, I had to take it. This creature doesn't belong here. It belongs with us and he's going to be quite useful to us," Makuramon said.
"You give him back, monkey boy!" Rika exclaimed.
"Calumon is our friend and not some piece of property," Takato said.
The goggle boy goes lunging for the monkey, but he managed to phase out of the way and hovers up into the air. Calumon goes struggling under his grasp as he calls out to his friends.
"Calumon! No!"
Leomon growls and quickly phases away. He goes flying right after Makuramon and powers up several ki blasts over at him, but Makuramon deflected each with his hands. Just as Makuramon was about to enter through the digital gate, a strange silhouette appears out of nowhere and was shaped like that of a being. Several small darts come shooting out from the silhouette and into Leomon as he goes flying down with the darts covering his body.
"Leomon! No!" Jeri exclaimed.
Suddenly, a bright glow appears in front of Jeri and a D-Ark comes floating into her hands. The Tamers looked over in shock at what they were seeing.
The Digi-Destined were just as surprised. They couldn't believe that Jeri had just received a D-Ark.
Leomon landed right in front of Jeri and she runs right over to him.
"Don't tell me that this is happening. Jeri is now Leomon's tamer," Davis asked.
"I thought I'd never see the day," replied Tai, "But its happened."
"Hang on, Leomon! I'm going to save your life," Jeri said as she held out her newly acquired D-Ark over the fallen body of Leomon.
Leomon awakens with his newly healed body and looks over at Jeri.
"Thank you… Young one…"
"You're welcome…"
The digital gateway was closing up as Makuramon continued to laugh manically with Calumon in his possession.
***************************************************************************************
Later that day, the fire departments and the police had arrived to investigate the scene, but there wasn't anything they could do but look at the destruction caused upon the city of the once beautiful West Shinjuku.
The Tamers and the Digi-Destined all looked up into the skylines and could see no trace of any digital gates. War Greymon and Metal Garurumon came flying down over to their partners letting them know that there weren't anymore digital gates.
"Well this just plain sucks! We can't even do a damn thing about this," Tai said, "And now for what we know, this 'Dark One' probably has that energy and is using it to create some sort of super powerful being that could wipe out the two worlds!"
"Not only that but he also has Calumon, not to mention the key source to digivolution itself," replied Kari, "And there's nothing we can do now. Its hopeless."
"No it isn't," said Takato, "We have to go anyway. We have to go to the Digital World. Its the only way to save Calumon and stop this 'Dark One'."
"Yes and there is a way," Shintomon stated, "There is one digital gate still open."
"Where? The only one I know of is over at the summer camp we went to many years ago," said Tai.
"No. There is an another and it lead into another digital world, much different from the ones you Digi-Destined have gone to many times. I've been into this new digital world myself and that is where we must be heading."
"But where is this digital gate?" asked Rika.
"Somewhere within this city. We must spread out and find it, if we plan on getting there sooner," Buddamon said.
"And I shall explain everything that you need to know, especially the true purpose of the Dark One's conquest for Calumon's power. I will tell you tomorrow, but for now, we must take a rest and Tamers, it is time to let your family know where you are heading. They have every right to know. Will you do that?"
The Tamers all nodded in agreement.
"Good. Its settled then. Digi-Destined, we shall meet up tomorrow then."
Shintomon and Buddamon go hovering up into the air as they flew off into the far distance away from the city. The Tamers and the Digi-Destined both looked on. Tai and Kari confronted Takato.
"You were great out there, Takato. And I just want to let you know to never give up and your digimon will become strong enough to aid you through future battles. Just believe in yourself and Guilmon's abilities," Tai said.
"Not a problem, Tai. We got that covered."
"You simply always seem to amaze me, Guilmon. Keep it up," Kari said.
"But I wonder what Shintomon has to tell us about the Dark One's true intentions," said Matt, "I guess we'll find out tomorrow morning then."
"And tomorrow is just another day to come," replied Takato.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the city, Yamaki looks on with a saddened look on his face. Hypnos has been demolished and Yamaki's goal of eliminating all digital life has all but gone down the drain as a result.
"Its over…"
***************************************************************************************
The dark figure looked on at the destruction inflicted on the city of Shinjuku. He simply smirked at the thought of the humans showing fear.
"Master. Makuramon has done his job well. He's captured Calumon and bringing the supply of energy from the planet's strongest warrior."
"Excellent work. Return back to the base at once. We have important matters to attend to."
"Yes, sire. Phase one of our operation has been completed."
As soon as he said that, the figure disappears. There was obviously something going down and it seemed that it was planned since digimon have been mysteriously bio-emerging. The Tamers and the Digi-Destined have no idea that they have been watched.
**************************************************************************************
The Next Day…
After a very hellish day after the attack from Vikaralymon, the city was basically laid in ruins. Families were forced to move out and find shelter elsewhere after all of the clean up was complete. But clean up would take up a lot of time as far as this devastation was concerned.
People from all over the city came over to help rebuild the devastation left by Vikaralymon.
"Things have gotten much more quiet ever since the attack the other day. It was much too quiet. But I don't really know how long that might last though, considering the fact that more Devas are still out there. And not to mention the fact that Calumon has been kidnapped. For the defense of the world and for our families, we knew that we had to find the Digital World. Shintomon even said that there was one digital gate hidden within this city and until we find it, I think that it is the proper time to let our families know where we are heading. It is only right for them to know of our whereabouts. We have no idea of what this Dark One is really up to, but we have to stop him before he forces Calumon to unleash digivolution, which could spell disaster for us Tamers and the Digi-Destined alike."
The top portion of the Hypnos building was basically in ruin, but the building remained standing. Thankfully, it did not collapse like the WTC in New York years ago. Every worker was not present at the very moment, not even Yamaki. Most of the damage has been internally inside of the building rather than the outside. This pretty much sums it up for Hypnos not being a threat to the digimon anymore.
As each of the Tamers met up with their family members, they were questioning their children and were more than happy to see each of them safe. Takato began to wonder how he was going to tell his parents about going into the Digital World. Rika soon began to doubt that she would tell her mother about going into the Digital World. After all of this, the Tamers decided to go on to look for the digital gate, themselves, in order to get that out of the way.
Guilmon was taking a long walk in the park and then decided to return back to his shelter home.
"Oh, my feet are starting to hurt. All of this walking around is going to make me pass out. I don't know Takato can run so much; sometimes I can't even manage to catch up to him. Hey, what's up?"
Guilmon started to sniff the air and then headed towards the shelter bunker. He walked inside and began to investigate around. He looked down at his mound that he had dug up which would be his bed.
"Its under this mound. I better take a look at what it could be."
Guilmon goes down and begins digging up from the mound and starts to investigate at what he could eventually found right under his own home.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's apartment home, Mr. Wong was sitting over at his computer while researching something concerning the artificial life program, and turned to see Henry walking in.
"Did you call me, dad?"
"Yeah. I want to take a look at your digi-whatever it is."
"You mean, my digivice?"
"Yeah. Let me take a look at it."
Henry gave his D-Ark to his father and he began to examine it. Henry sat there and looked over to see Terriermon walking in.
"These digivices. My guess is that these things could only be used to control digimon on the net, not in real life. I was so surprised that these could be used to control the digimon even in this plane of existence. Apparently, somebody wanted children to have them, despite it risking having digimon all over the world like what the pig monster did. But this wasn't the first time, in fact, I remember that there were digimon invading the world seven years ago during War Games."
"I remember that. There were digimon all over the world, and the Digi-Destined were the only ones that were able to stop them to send them back into the Digital World. But back then, they had digivices that were able to open digital gates, but now they aren't able to open up this digital portal that leads to this 'new' digital world. If only Shintomon had left us more detail."
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Jeri and Leomon were talking amongst one another while looking out towards the stars. Jeri took her sock puppet and was the first to speak.
"Leomon, have you been to this digital world? How is it like?"
"The older digital world was beautiful yet dangerous. There I met the original Digi-Destined and we defeated our first enemy, Devimon. Overtime, I had aided them in many battles against monsters such as Burizalor, the artificials and Virus. As far as this new, advanced digital world is concerned, I've only been there once and it is dangerous. It is more dangerous than my digital world. They have their own set of four guardians, but are said to have more power than the four guardians in the older digital world."
"It must be full of adventure too. I know there will be danger, but also some adventure. I just know it."
"You seem little yet you have a very big and brave heart, your heart is like that of a lion's. I'm impressed, tamer."
"So, are you mad that I'm your Tamer. After all, you said that you were a lone warrior."
"No, if you are destined to be my Tamer, then that's the way it is. Much like each of the Digi-Destined are destined to be with their respective digimon, we're no different. With you at my side, you could eventually help make me stronger."
"I guess I could. I will just have to believe in myself to do it, right?"
"That is correct. You are catching on, young one."
"Thanks."
Jeri pick up her sock puppet and then looks up at Leomon with a smile on her face. Leomon looks up back at the stars from above and thinks about how he should protect Jeri since he has never been the partner of a human before.
"This is so new to me. I've always had to fend for myself all of this time, but how is having a Tamer any different. Well, I guess, I'll soon find out."
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Rika and Renamon were starting to have their conversation concerning the Digital World. Rika was still having mixed emotions on leaving her family behind and leaving for another world that may be in even more peril than anybody realizes.
"Rika. I don't think you should go to the Digital World. It's much too dangerous for you to go. Please, I'm telling you this for your safety, Rika."
"Renamon. I have to go. We're together on this one. You and I alone. No matter how great the situation is…"
Just then, she was soon interrupted by the call of her own grandmother.
"Rika! Honey, are you there?"
Renamon tried phasing away but Rika's grandmother came come walking by to see Rika. She turned to see Renamon, who didn't seem all that afraid of the neon-colored fox.
"Rika. I always knew you had a guardian angel, but I never thought it would be a talking fox."
"So, you don't have a problem with her?"
"Not at all. I think he's simply beautiful. So, is this another one of those things that the reporters on T.V. keep mentioning?"
"Yeah, she's one of them."
"I am Renamon. And I am sorry if I startled you and given you any kind of trouble."
"I don't think your trouble at all. I think you make great company for Rika."
"Grandmother, I need to tell you something."
"What is it, dear?"
"I'm going to be going away for a while."
"OK, but don't you think that your mother should have every right to where you are going."
"That's the problem, if I were to tell her myself, she would start to worry and I don't want her to worry for my safety since I will be guarded by Renamon. I think it would be best if you were to tell her. Would you do that, please?"
"I'll do the best that I can but I will do so. Renamon, will you always be there to watch over my granddaughter while she is away?"
"I will protect her with my life."
"I don't want my mother to worry. I'm going to be fine anyway. Renamon will be with me. I just hope she won't take it as hard."
*************************************************************************************
Back over at Domino City, Yugi was getting his finalized deck prepared. The Battle City tournament was set to take place in the morning. He planned to not only win the tournament but to help Yami in his quest to realize his past.
"Tomorrow is the big day… First, I've got to help Joey get his card back and then make it all the way to the finals. This is a must-win situation for me."
"Yugi!"
The duelist realized that the spirit of his puzzle was contacting him. Yugi responded to Yami's call.
"Yami? Is something bothering you? We have to stay intact for tomorrow's event."
"I understand, but the attacks from Shinjuku have quietly fizzled. It looks as thought it will be safe."
"That's good to know. Those monsters have been appearing in Sinjuku for nearly a whole month!"
"I feel that was just the tip of the iceberg, Yugi. A far greater power will make it's presence felt soon. It not only will threaten Shinjuku but the entire world."
"You told me this the other day. You said that a fearsome power would reawaken and threaten the entire universe."
"Yes. But, we don't have to worry. There are a group of heroes, who will take a stand and do what it takes to defeat this dark power. We must focus on our destiny. We have to defeat the dark power that threatens to take the Millennium Puzzle. We can't let that force gain more power than it already has."
"You're right. I'll never forgive that coward for attempting to separate us. We must stay in synch and triumph. No matter how great the crisis is."
Yugi grasped his Millennium Puzzle while mentally preparing himself for his greatest challenge to date. Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the Battle City matches. Yugi has to be in tip-top form in order to realize Yami's true destiny.

Takato met up with Guilmon later that day as the crimson-colored dinosaur was leading his Tamer all the way towards his shelter home.
"Takato! You won't believe what I found. It was hiding under my home this whole time."
"What? What did you find? Maybe some of that bread that you accidentally left buried?"
"No. No. It's much better than that. Just follow me along. You're going to get a big kick out of this!"
Takato walked inside and noticed a hole that Guilmon had dug earlier ago. Guilmon pointed down and Takato begins his search among the dug-up debris.
"What did you dug for? Dinosaur bones?"
"Just take a look for yourself…"
Takato gasped in disbelief at what he was seeing before him. He peered through and saw a large portal. He quickly came into the realization that it was a digital portal.
"Guilmon! I can't believe you found it!"
Guilmon was about to place his hand near the portal, but Takato snatched his arm away from it.
"Not yet. We better go tell the others about this. But first, I have to go ask my parents for permission. They should have every right to know about where we are heading to."
"Right, and maybe your parents could make a bread shaped like me. Guilmon bread! Yay!"
Takato nodded as he walked off with Guilmon. They were heading out of the park and towards the bakery, where Takato would meet within his parents and introduce them to Guilmon himself. It wouldn't be easy, but then again, nothing is ever easy as far as a digimon was concerned.

[Dark anonymous plays]
Meanwhile, deep within the two worlds, Makuramon was holding a cage of some sort with Calumon trapped inside. He flew through the mysterious void while holding both the cage and the energy drainer. A smile comes across her his face as he peered right at Calumon.
"Soon, my little friend, you shall give my master the power he needs to unleash his latest scheme and you will give him the energy that he needs the most. You're going to be spending a very long time with us in the digital world. The two worlds shall be ours for the taking, and you will be responsible for it."
Calumon could only stand so much as he covered his ears, preventing him from listening to Makuramon's ridiculous rambling.
Elsewhere, Impmon was penetrating right through the portal and manages to fly down through the vortex. His body was still beaten and battered after his encounter with Indramon. He could barely feel his own arms and legs moving, making him very vulnerable.
"So, this is heaven? But once I'm in heaven, I'm supposed to feel like a million bucks. Oh well, its better than dying in the other world, anyway. But I wonder what he'll do to give me the digivolution that I long crave for. Now all of that will soon pay off."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the Digi-Destined had all gathered over at Kari's apartment home, plus there was a dinner for them all to enjoy for themselves during the discussion.
"Ok. So we know what we must do. We have agreed that us Digi-Destined must help out the Tamers in every other way in this journey into this new digital world. We won't know for sure what we'll be up against but we will work together through thick and thin," said Tai.
"On question, who's going to look after the kids?" asked Davis, "I mean Yolei and Ken can't leave their kid behind. Not to mention Mimi and Matt."
"I'm staying here," said Mimi, "Don't worry. I couldn't even catch up with your guys as far as having a strong digimon is concerned. Besides, I have a child to take care of."
"The same applies for me too," said Yolei, "Ken, I want you to be careful out there."
"Don't worry, honey," Ken replied, "Wormmon and I will come back safe and sound. I promise."
"And you better come back too, Matt. I don't want to have to make a tombstone for you if you don't happen to come back," Mimi said with a smirk on her face.
"Very funny. I doubt we will get killed. I have a feeling that this whole journey will be a piece of cake. Those Devas are not a match for Metalla X," Matt said.
"Sora, what do you think? You want to come?" Tai asked.
"No, I'll be fine. I think you, Kari, TK, Davis, Ken and Matt are more than enough anyways."
"Ok, thanks for letting me go. Are you sure that you can handle coaching an entire team while I am away?"
"Sure. Just leave it to me!"
"And I just got a call from Takato," said Izzy, "He said its over at the park under Guilmon's own home."
"Wow, who would ever guessed that it would have been under his home this whole time," said Patamon.
"And here we were looking all over the city," said Gatomon, "But that big bread-gobbling buddy of ours managed to find it."
"Who knew?"
"So, Izzy, did you happen to find out more on the cards?"
"As a matter of fact, TK, I did. You see, from what I found out. The cards happen to give the Tamer's digimon a boost of power needed during a course of battle. Kind of like upgrading your computer into something more advanced, like a better Internet connection. So in other words, the cards allow the digimon to grow stronger and I have a theory of who might have created the cards."
"Who?"
"Somebody by the name of Shibumi…"
"Shibumi?"
"Yeah, so while you guys are off in the digital world, I will begin investigation on this Shibumi person. Cody are you up for a little bit more investigating?"
"You bet. I really want to see who this Shibumi person is."
"And you told us that he knows so much about our digimon yet we haven't even met this guy. How would he know so much about us," asked Tai.
"That is why I will begin investigating with Cody. We'll let you guys know in time."
"Alright, Izzy. So, Tai, are you ready for a brand new adventure?" Kari asked.
"You know me a whole lot better than that. I'm always ready for a new adventure. I live and breath adventure! It will be just like the good old days."
"Either a brand new adventure of a disastrous hellhole filled with many dangers up ahead for all of us. We have to be extra careful and we better warn the Tamers about this."
***************************************************************************************
The streets were devastated due to Vikaralymon's rampage the other day. Construction workers were doing their best to repair the damages, but it will take weeks to finish. Traffic has been a pain because of this.
Strolling down the street, a black-haired girl was shocked by the turn of events. She had returned from the Feudal era the other day, and was not there to witness the Vikaralymon incident.
"What just happened here? This is just awful!" the girl said.
"Where were you? Were you raised in a cave or something?" a young man with blue hair said.
"I was…Um… Out of town"
"There was a large pig monster that came and demolished the city. Luckily there were these other monsters that came and roasted that porker!" he rambled on.
"Umm, ok…"
Gomamon popped his head through the young man's backpack and curiously looked out to the streets.
"This is what we get for living out of the city," Gomamon said. "Man, I missed all the action!"
"Is that a dog?!" the girl asked. "It just talked…"
"Um. Yeah, it's a toy dog! Yeah, a toy dog! Well, I better get going!"
"Hey, wait a minute, Joe! Who's this?!"
Joe covers Gomamon's mouth and rushes out towards the other side of the side street. The girl looks on with a surprised glare.
"Kagome. How could you have been so stupid?!" the girl thought. "It's not like you've seen a talking animal before! Speaking of talking animals, that Inuyasha is such a jerk! This time I'm not sorry for seeing him kiss that no good Kikyo!"
Kagome sighed and goes about her usual business. She was very upset over the fact that she caught Inuyasha kissing Kiyko. However, she plans on returning back and giving the dog-eared half-demon a piece of her mind.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, within the city, Yamaki was watching the news on television in his apartment. It has been a depressing time for the man who was in charge of the devastating Juggernaut program. He looked through his laptop and sighed in disbelief over the fact that Hypnos was shut down for the time being, due to the incidents that have occurred.
"…It has been said that the giant monster that attacked Shinjuku was a creature called a digimon, but its rampage was the result of a government official's failure, one who was been reprimanded."
"Those fools. What do they know about failures?"
" , sir."
"Oh, Riley. What are you doing here?"
"You just can't give up on this. Just because Hypnos is gone, doesn't mean that you can't give up on your ambition."
"I don't know, Riley. I've been pretty much a failure ever since I started Hypnos. Those digimon managed to outsmart me in the long run."
"Hmmm. Maybe, I can still help out."
"What do you have in mind, sir?"
"Those children have been more resourceful that we have been, so its time that we let the children handle this themselves. And I just got the thing that might aid them."
*************************************************************************************
As soon as Takato and Guilmon came walking into the bakery, Mrs. Matsuki took notice of this and she quickly freaked out at the sight of Guilmon.
"Oh my lord! What is that thing?!"
"Mom, you don't have to freak out. This is a friend of mine…"
"Its too late for that!"
"Here, I'll explain everything over in the back."
"I hope you have a really good explanation, because I was about to call the animal patrol on that thing."
"I got a good explanation. And I need to ask a favor from you."
The Matsuki parents looked over at each other as if their son were losing his mind but they went along and decided to hear everything that their son has to tell about this digimon pet of his.
**************************************************************************************
While Guilmon was looking himself in the mirror, Takato was sitting in a dining table while talking to his parents about hanging with Guilmon.
"So, as you can see, this is my digimon partner, Guilmon. He's also the best friend I could ever have. So all of this time that I've been sneaking out and grabbing bread wasn't for myself, it was all for Guilmon. He has a big appetite for the bread, and I'm sorry for keeping this a secret this whole time. But if I were to tell you about him now, well, you would have probably grounded me for life. So now I decided to let the cat of the bag and tell you the truth. I just hope you aren't mad at me."
The Matsuki parents were looking over at Takato with looks of disbelief on their faces. Even more shocked was Mrs. Matsuki, who was totally against having animals in her home, but now she realize that her son was having contact with the dangerous monsters the reporters call digimon.
"As a matter of fact, my other two friends with their own digimon have been helping me stomp out the evil digimon that have tried to destroy our town. And I need to ask this favor from you. I'm going to be leaving here and going into the digital world. We have this friend named Calumon who was kidnapped and we have to save him."
"Out of the question, Takato! What the hell are you thinking?! You were hanging around with this creature, a thing that is considered dangerous! What if that thing has rabies and you could get hurt. I can't let you go anywhere with this thing!"
"But I'm not a monster," Guilmon said.
"He's right. He's my best friend and I really need to go. I'm definitely going to need a lot of bread for this trip. I have no idea how long we will be gone, but just think of this as a sort of vacation for me," said Takato, "So. Mom? Dad? Will you be able to trust me? It's time that I do things for myself and thus far, I've been much more responsible. So, is it a yes?"
Mrs. Matsuki could barely hold in her anger and let out a few tears as Mr. Matsuki got up from his chair and went walking into the kitchen to start baking some bread. She went to approach her husband and began to question.
"So, what do you have a say in all of this? Your not going to let our son go with that creature, are you?"
"Just let him go, dear."
"Huh?"
"Takato has proven to be a very responsible young man and that creature has protected him all of this time. That's proof enough for me. I say we let him go on this trip."
"But… I can't let him go… He's just a baby… Our only baby…"
"He's not a baby. He's managed to grow up on his own and we as parents should be proud of him for that. You should also consider of what Takato really wants. And what he desires is going on this trip into the digital… Whatever it is."
Mrs. Matsuki stood there as if she was already convinced and then she turned towards her son.
"Is that a yes, mom?"
"Yes… There's nothing more I can do… I just miss holding you when you were a baby. But I'm proud of you my son. Now, go. Your friend might need you. You and Guilmon are together on this one. You've got many friends now. Go."
"Thanks mom. I promise I will come back safe and sound."
"And Guilmon? Your name is Guilmon right?" Mr. Matsuki asked.
"Yeah? That's my name."
"If you promise to come back. I'll bake you the biggest load of bread that you will ever want."
"Maybe some bread shaped like me? Guilmon bread! Yay!"
"Anything you want, but promise to look after my son."
"I will. I promise! Yay! Guilmon bread!"
Takato stood there with a smile on his face and then looks over at the window.
"Hang on, Calumon. We're coming to the Digital World. We're going to get you out of there."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's apartment, Suzie was on the couch while playing with Terriermon. Just then, she turns to see her brother walking up to her.
"Henwy! Hi! Me and Tewiermon were just playing a little game."
"That's great, but I got something tot ell you. Its about Terriermon."
"What is it?"
As soon as she turned her back, Terriermon quickly gets out of 'doll state' and taps Suzie on her shoulder. The little purple-haired girl turns to see Terriermon, live and movable. She was shocked beyond belief.
"Hi there, Suzie. I wasn't a doll this whole time. Nope. I'm alive and well. And I'm not 'Miss Pretty Pants', but I still think it has a nice ring to it."
"Suzie. I had just left dad an email message and letting him know that Terriermon and I are leaving for a while. So, promise not to tell dad until then."
But instead of responding to her brother, Suzie goes throwing her arms around Terriermon and starts hugging him to death. Terriermon was choking beyond belief, while trying to catch himself some air.
"Oh, Tewiermon! I knew that you weren't a doll! I knew you were real! I knew it!"
Henry stood there and chuckled at the sight of Terriermon being given the hug treatment by Suzie.
"I better get him out of here before Suzie chokes him to death."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Rika comes walking into her mother's room wearing one of the pink dresses that her mother had given to her.
"So, mom. What do you think?"
"Oh that looks so gorgeous, dear. You have no idea how much this means to me."
Rika looks over and notices a tear in her mother's eyes. A tear of joy and Rika didn't even share a tear even though she wanted to.
"I would just hate having to tell her that I was leaving, but Calumon needs to be rescue and I won't back out from going into the digital world. Goodbye mother. I hope you and grandmother will be alright when I get back."
***************************************************************************************
Later that day, every single one of the Tamers and the children had already met up with each other. So far, it was Kazu, Kenta, Rika, Henry and Jeri. No signs of Takato or the Digi-Destined anywhere.
"Um, excuse me. But why are you two going with us? It not like you have any partners of your own," Rika remarked.
"Hey! We have every right to go just like you do. Besides, I'm going so I can find a partner of my own," Kazu said.
"Ditto here. We want to see the digital world for ourselves," said Kenta.
"Besides, I lied to my parents and told them that I was going on a school trip," said Kazu.
"I left a note for my mom over a small coffee cup," stated Kenta, "I kind of figured that they wouldn't be home and I wanted to let them know where I would be heading off."
Just then, Takato comes running by with a flag with every single one of the Tamer's faces on them.
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late! So, how do you like my flag?"
"Ugh! Dude! I'm not that ugly," said Kazu.
"I think it's wonderful," replied Jeri.
"Thanks. That's the first compliment I ever got about my flag. So, all we need to wait for are the-"
"You don't have to go waiting for us," a voice called out.
The Tamers turned around to see none other than the Digi-Destined group themselves. But the only Digi-Destined going with the Tamers were Tai, Kari, TK, Davis, Ken and Matt.
"Tai! Kari! We're glad that you managed to come and you brought along some other Digi-Destined. That's good to know," said Takato.
Shintomon and Buddamon come walking out from behind some bushes.
"And you certainly can't forget about us."
"Shintomon. Alright, now you can tell us what we are truly up against here," Tai stated.
"Yes. And now is the time I should tell you about our true purpose of going into the digital world."
Shintomon clears his throat and then begins a long story concerning the whole purpose of going into the digital world.
"I would like to thank you all for coming here. Tamers and Digi-Destined, we are here for two reasons. One is to save the source of digivolution, that being Calumon. And the other is to find the one known as the 'Dark One'. Without borrowing your powers, we wouldn't have won like we did the other day against the Devas."
"What? You need our help in beating the Devas? I don't know, our power far surpasses theirs," said Tai.
"No, it's not the Devas that I'm worried about. Its the sorcerer that is controlling them."
"A sorcerer?" asked Takato.
"Yes, more like a Madoshi, or a warlock. It all began in the Digital World. About around the time that the internet and data was still in its infancy during the 1980's, digimon had already began to evolve with their powers along with the Legendary Super level digimon, such as myself. During the time, a computer company created an anti-virus that was used to control the outbreak of computer viruses that were rapidly spreading on the net. Until…"
"Until what?" Kari asked.
"Until an evil wizard by the name of BlackMagimon collected a sample of the anti-virus and influenced it with pure evil. He managed to create the anti-virus in the form of a woman. Then it began to destroy everything that were the opposite of viruses and began to destroy everything that was not a threat. In that time, the digital plane began to reach out into the inter-dimensional universe and connected to other planet computers. The being managed to travel to each network and destroyed all digital life by one. The name of this monster is D-Reaper."
"D-Reaper, huh? So what did this thing actually do other than destroy," asked Tai.
"Nothing. It had no feelings. All it ever did was destroy everything in its path. BlackMagimon and D-Reaper formed chaos throughout the Digital Universe. Then came the day when D-Reaper turned on its own creator, so BlackMagimon was forced to seal D-Reaper inside a crystal-like organic ball. And I was the one who killed BlackMagimon. But then…"
"Until now? Does somebody else have access to the D-Reaper?" Henry asked.
"It would seem that BlackMagimon had an inheritance. He had a son. His name is DarkMagimon, the so-called 'Dark One'. He currently resides in this new digital world. As far as D-Reaper is concerned, in just a short amount of time, it left many digital worlds as wastelands and consumed every digital life form it could find."
"Hmm. Sounds like this D-Reaper is just as strong as us fusion warriors," Matt said to himself with a smirk on his face.
Shintomon quickly turns to face Matt.
"No, you're wrong, Yamato. There were four Supreme Guardians, and I was one of them. Each of them would have wiped out the being known as Burizalor within a heartbeat. But then all four fought D-Reaper, only one survived and I'm that survivor. D-Reaper would have wiped out your entire race within the blink of an eye."
"Grr. Why didn't anybody tell me that he could read minds?!"
"Wow! Incredible! So this thing is a lot stronger than we gave it credit for. And your people could have easily destroyed beings like Burizalor and the artificials? That's crazy shit!" said Tai.
"No kidding and Shintomon is among those four Supreme Guardians," said Ken, "I'm willing to bet that you know the four digital guardians."
"Yes. Azulongmon, Zhuqiaomon, Baihumon and Ebwoumon"
"But why didn't you destroy the ball that contained D-Reaper?" asked Renamon, "I mean, you could have had that chance."
"There was no reason too. As long as D-Reaper is confined to that ball, it poses no threat. But we thought so until now when we learned that DarkMagimon was in the digital world. So that is why we must stop him," said Buddamon.
"Now it seems that he is ready to release D-Reaper with that energy. We must go as soon as possible," Shintomon said.
"Not so fast!" a voice called out.
The group turned around to see none other than Yamaki. The digimon all got into defense stances, as they were ready to defend their partners.
"Its creepy dude!" Kazu exclaimed.
"What do you want?" Henry asked angrily.
"So are you children going to the Digital World," Yamaki managed to ask.
"Yeah and you can't stop us either," Tai said.
"Who said that I was?"
As soon as he said that, Yamaki tosses a device over to Takato, who easily caught it with one hand.
"Take it. It could be useful on your journey."
"What is this thing," Takato asked.
"Its a COM device," Yamaki said as he took off his shades. "That way you can communicate with us here in this world."
"Wow, thank you, Mr. Yamaki," said Kari, "You should really see our friend Izzy about this sort of thing."
"Izzy?"
"Yeah, I'm sure you two could get along quite well," said Tai, "And don't worry, we've got this on under control."
"Right on. Al right guys, its time to go to the Digital World!" Takato exclaimed while raising his fist up.
The group all gathered together as they walked inside of Guilmon's shelter and slowly entered the digital gate that would lead them into the new digital world. Shintomon and Buddamon led the way for them.
So our brave Tamers along the the Digi-Destined set off on the journey to the Digital World. There are some with a sense of purpose. Some will find out what they're made of, and some pretty much don't have a clue at what they're doing. All armed, nothing but their hearts and hope of those who left behind, even Yamaki, who seemed to be taking a ride on the happy train. Will they make it?
Deep within the digital vortex, Makuramon was flying through with Calumon trapped inside a cage on one hand and the container filled with Kari's energy in the other. The 'D' letter on his forehead was shining as he was flying his way through into the Digital World where he would report back over to DarkMagimon.
Will they make it is right. After hearing the shocking revelation from Shintomon, the Tamers and the Digi-Destined have to stop DarkMagimon from unleashing the indestructible D-Reaper and rescue Calumon. But how will they be able to complete two missions at once?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
To the Digital World! A Day of Departure!
The whole Digi-Destined and Tamer group was slowly being lead to what seemed like a vortex of some sort. There were floating letters and numbers everywhere they stand. The Digi-Destined were even more shocked at what they were seeing. This was something totally brand new to them. But this was a whole new ball game for the Tamers.
"Wow! This is some whacked out dimension, what is this place?" asked Takato.
"Its a vortex. It will leads us directly into the Digital World," said Shintomon.
"And be careful not to get hit in the head by these objects," Buddamon stated.
"Are you kidding me? I almost got hit in the head by a floating question mark," said Tai.
"No kidding! Can you guys see where we're going?" Henry asked.
"I don't think I can move on. My eyes were starting to hurt," Jeri said.
Rika reaches out to Jeri. She takes her by the hand to help guide her through.
"Its alright. Just hang on to me."
"Thank you, Rika."
"Alright guys! Get ready to fasten your safety belts! We're guiding you through," Takato said as he helped guide both Kazu and Kenta through.
"Alright! I always wanted to be on a tour, especially for the Digital World. This is so cool!" exclaimed Kazu.
"Um, guys. Don't look now but I don't think we're standing on ground anymore," said Kenta.
The group looked down below their feet and noticed that Kenta was right. There was no ground to stand on, which meant that they were standing on nothing but empty air.
"Um, you just had to say that already, Kenta?" Terriermon asked.
"Well, that's Kenta for you," remarked Renamon.
With that said, the whole group were starting to fall through as they found themselves falling through several vortexes along the way. Shintomon and Buddamon managed to stop themselves as they created barriers for each of the Tamers and Digi-Destined.
"Whoa! Thanks for saving our hides there, Shintomon. I don't know what we could have done without you," said Tai.
"Well, you be falling down like there was no tomorrow. Usually, once you fall into these empty spaces, you will be falling for all eternity."
"All eternity huh? I'm just glad that we weren't one of those unlucky individuals," said TK.
"But as long as you remain in those barriers, you do fine," Buddamon replied.
"Hey! Do you see what I see?" asked Guilmon, "Look ahead!"
They looked to see to what Guilmon was pointing out towards and to their surprise, it was none other than a ball-like structure with lights shooting out of it. They looked at it with awe expressions on their faces.
"That's the vortex into the new Digital World. We must enter it, in order to enter the Digital World. We can't hesitate now. Just trust your instincts and follow its light. Follow me," Shintomon instructed.
Shintomon and Buddamon were the first to fly off as they were hovering towards the vortex. As soon as they got closer, a huge beam of light struck them and sucked them right in, as if they were transported. The Digi-Destined looked over at each other.
"It sure beats the flyer miles," said Kari, "Lets go. We can't let anything hold us back!"
Kari moved on with Gatomon at her side as they drew closer to the vortex. A huge beam of light hits them and they were transported in. TK and Patamon were the next to go. Then, Matt and Gabumon. Next were Tai and Agumon. Davis, Sonja and Veemon came along next. Finally, Ken and Wormmon entered the vortex.
The Tamers all looked over at each other, more specifically Kazu and Kenta. They were now almost scared out of their wits.
"There's no way I'm going in there. No telling if we will ever get out," Kazu said.
"But, Kazu. We have to rescue Calumon. I mean, c'mon. Just think. If you go back home, you'll have to go back to school and suffer another week of hell."
Kazu sat there and thought about it for a few moments. Rika was now getting angry and wasn't going to hold back on getting her hands on him.
"C'mon! We're waiting. What's it going to be?!" Rika asked.
Kazu had heard enough and quickly throws himself into the vortex. The group was quite shocked to see what he had just done. But, Kenta didn't hold back and jumped right in to follow his friend. Rika and Renamon went in next. Then, Jeri and Leomon entered followed by Terriermon and Henry. Takato and Guilmon grabbed each other's hands as they nodded to each other. With one last gasp, they both jumped in as if they were about to jump into a deep sea.
As soon as everyone entered through, they found themselves falling through a digital vortex. Then ahead of them was a huge bright beam of light that quickly engulfed them and everything becomes bright with pure white light.

Back in Shinjuku…
Izzy was on his computer while looking up important information based on Shibumi. Ever since he deciphered the blue card, the name Shibumi has been wandering in his mind. He has been spending countless hours to at least finding some past employment information. However, it was all but to no avail. It seemed that there wasn't a single trace of this Shibumi character.
"Tentomon. It's no use. I've been researching countless hours. There's no known data on this Shibumi."
"Why don't you take a break and take a nice dip into a SPA? I need to shed my skin anyway."
"But I can't just put this away. I'm really desperate to find out about this Shibumi. I know that name rings a bell, but where have I heard it before?"
Just as Izzy was about to grab his cup of cappuccino, he accidentally knocks over several magazines. He gets down to pick them up. Suddenly, a certain individual's name caught Izzy by surprise. He looked down at an exclusive page story based on the monster makers years ago.
"Wait a second. I think I've found my first clue. Tentomon, check this out!"
"What is it? I was just about to get into the hot tub."
"I've found him!"
"That Shibumi? You found a picture of him?"
"Check this out. I can't believe I still have this magazine. I thought I threw it away. This is the story we've been looking for. Now I remember this Shibumi! Tentomon, aren't I just the lucky one around here?"
"Like I said genius types are usually the messy types."
"You watch too much Spider Man."
"What? It's not my fault that I loved that movie."
"Back to subject, I should really start looking into this article and we'll know what we're dealing with. I say we inform the others about this a little later. Wait, until they get a load of this."
As soon as he said that, Izzy started reading the article. He was very lucky to have kept this old magazine. Otherwise he would have been stuck at days of research.
Tentomon shrugs and resumes his walk over to the hot tub. The insect sighed as his skin was being moisten by the steamy water.
"Ahhh. This is the life…"
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the crowds of people in Shinjuku have been gathering at local game shops and recreational places just to get watch the start of the Battle City tournament. It had started since 10:00 A.M.
The largest crowd was definitely over at the new Dungeon Dice Monsters arena. The crowds were rapid for finding themselves seats to get a screening of the entire tournament event itself.
Amongst the crowd were Cody and Armadillomon. They had just arrived in Shinjuku for the weekend.
"Look at this crowd, Cody! I can't believe this tournament has everyone on the buzz."
"Huh? I know! I can't even find ourselves some good seats."
Just then, Cody bumps into a girl. The girl managed to hold her balance with her rod.
"Um, sorry about that," Cody said. "I should watch where I'm going."
"It's okay. This crowd is very pleasant anyways," she replied.
As soon as Cody and Armadillomon walked past her, a yellow cat-like creature pops out from under the girl's coat pocket.
"There's too much noise, Sakura!"
"Relax, Kero. We'll get a good seat as soon as the crowd dies down."
"Is it just me or did that armadillo just walk and talk?"
"Um, it's not just you. I thought I was the only one with a talking animal. What a small world, huh?"
Cody and Armadillomon finally found the perfect seats. They were now beginning to feature the first duel of the tournament: Yugi Muto vs. the Rare Hunter.
"Good! The first match is about to start," Cody said. "It's that Yugi kid. I wonder what kind of new monsters he has in store for his opponent."
"I wouldn't want to bet against the same guy who beat both Kaiba and Pegasus," Armadillomon stated.
"Me neither."
The crowd cheered on as the first match was underway. Yugi dueled top not only defeat the Rare Hunter, but to gain back Joey's Red-Eyes Black Dragon. It was all or nothing for Yugi.
Little did Cody realize that several of his friends are already on a journey into a new Digital World. Izzy has yet to inform the boy about the situation.
*************************************************************************************
Back in the Digital World…
Each person found himself or herself waking up and opening their eyes at what they were seeing before them. Takato and Guilmon were the first ones to awaken.
"What? Where… Where are we? Guilmon? Are you there buddy?"
"I'm here Takato. But is this the Digital World?"
[Mysterious Anonymous music plays in the background]
As soon as the goggle boy woke up, they looked across their surroundings. Instead of finding themselves a lush forest teemed with numerous of digital life forms like in the other digital world, this one was a barren landscape with huge canyons in the background, as if it were a desert in in Arizona. But unlike the Arizona desert, there was no heat to give off and there didn't seem to be any signs of a sun anymore to even give off heat. It was still daylight, however.
"Is this the new digital world?" Tai asked, "Wow! I'd never thought I'd see the day! This is completely different!"
"But its still digital," Agumon said, "Hey! Take a look up there!"
Tai turns around and then looks up to see a floating sphere floating around in the sky with two rings of data floating all around it. Tai was looking on in awe and couldn't believe that in his wildest dreams that he would enter a second Digital World.
"Tai. So this is the new digital world," Kari asked, "Its beautiful but looks completely different."
"So, is that where we came right out of?" Gatomon asked, "That big sphere-looking thing?"
"Yes. That's the vortex," Shintomon replied, "Welcome to the new Digital World."
Leomon and Renamon pulled up Rika and Jeri onto their feet. The two girls looked across the landscape and were caught completely by total awe at the landscape. Tai goes and picks up a pile of sand from the ground.
"It still feels organic just like in the other Digital World," Tai said, "So, have you been here before, Shintomon?"
"Yes, we Supreme Guardians have entered both Digital Worlds and monitor their progresses. However, I was caught completely by surprise when I learned that Dark Magimon was scheming."
"So, let me get this straight. You guys are obviously the only ones that monitors the two Digital Worlds?" Takato asked.
"No, any powerful being can enter through the two worlds through hidden vortexes and they can easily cause an imbalance, which isn't very easy to heal. The two digital worlds have to remain separate, no matter what. If they do, then it could cause major side effects on the real world, and its something that you would never want. Trust me."
"Have you been here before, Leomon?" asked Jeri.
"Yes, but for a short time. This world is still so completely new to me. But what makes it more interesting is the fact that I can still use my powers here. Remember, us digimon are much stronger and can reach to our highest potential when in the Digital World."
"Oh, hey Rika, what do you think?"
"I see it but I still can't believe it. I never thought I see the digital world."
"Listen, there's no time for our little tour," Shintomon said, "We're here for two very important reasons: to stop Dark Magimon and find Calumon. Now I have thought of a very clever plan that make help us cover more ground in a shorter amount of time."
"What kind of plan did you come up with?" asked Matt.
"Its very logical and simple really."
"Ok, but don't try to speak 'Izzy' ramble. We want plain english," Davis said.
"Davis, just let him speak. This is very important," Ken said.
"There goes Davis with his big mouth," Veemon replied, "He never changes."
"Don't worry, Veemon. If he keeps this up, I'll just knock some sense into him," Sonja said while cracking her knuckles.
Davis looks over at his wife and laughs nervously with a sweat drop coming down his head. Sonja looks over at him with a twinkle sparkling in her eye. Veemon shrugs his shoulders and looks over to Shintomon to listen to what he has to say.
"Now, I have decided to split us into two large groups. One group will go off into another direction and go find Calumon. That should be the most difficult since Calumon barely has an energy level to send off. Now, I have chosen Buddamon to lead that group. Now he will need some volunteers to go along with him. He will need about six individuals to follow him along. Anybody want to join Buddamon?"
The groups all looked over at each other and were making a discussion, mainly the Tamers.
"Ok, we have decided that Kazu, Kenta, Jeri, and Henry be among those that follow Buddamon," Takato said, "And that also includes their digimon, those being Terriermon and Leomon."
"Yeah! You can't go forgetting about me, Takatomon," said Terriermon.
"Ahem, Terriermon!" Henry said.
"Ahem to me!"
"Alight. That's four. We need two more. Any one of the Digi-Destined want to go along?"
The Digi-Destined looked among each other and TK stepped up to the plate.
"Patamon and I have decided to go with Buddman's group. Kari told me that she would stay with your side, Shintomon."
"That leaves us with one more," Shintomon replied.
"I will go!" Sonja said, "Besides TK, I'm the strongest among Buddamn's group. So we might run into trouble along the way."
"Alright. That settles it. Buddamon's group has been made. Now I have the strongest elite on my side. Taichi. Yamato. Daisuke. Ken. Hikari. Takato. Rika. Splendid. This should be enough."
"Sonja! Are you sure you want to do this?" Davis asked.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. You've got Veemon with you. But I just want you to be careful and don't die on your journey. I'll be waiting for you. You better come back, Daisuke Motomiya."
"And I shall Sonja Motomiya."
"You better not die."
"Alright, I heard you the first time. I'm not deaf."
Davis goes running back towards his group as Shintomon quickly began to speak.
"Alright. Buddamon, you lead the group and begin your search for Calumon. Let me know when you have found Calumon. We really need him out of Dark Magimon's grasps. No telling how much energy he might send off that could release D-Reaper. Good luck my friends."
"You have my word," Buddamon said.
"That settles it then! Al right team, I think its time for a little digivolution. Taichi, time to do the honors!"
"With pleasure. Agumon, time to evolve! Everybody, its time to put a stop to Dark Magimon now!"
"Evolve!"
[Evolution theme "Braveheart" plays]
Tai's digivice quickly began to shoot out a beam of orange light and Agumon lets himself be engulfed in the light as he felt his energy level increase to all new heights.
"Agumon warp shinka!"
He quickly evolves all the way from Greymon to Metal Greymon and then into the dramon killing machine known as War Greymon.
"War Greymon!"
"Gabumon! Go for it my friend! Let our friendship run strong!"
Matt's digivice quickly began to shoot out a beam of metallic blue light and Gabumon lets himself be engulfed in the light while allowing his ki level increase to all new heights.
"Gabumon warp shinka!"
He quickly evolves all the way from Garurumon to Were Garurumon and then into the missile-launching machine known as Metal Garurumon.
"Metal Garurumon!"
"Veemon! Lets do it! We have the courage and friendship to defeat our enemy!"
Davis' D-3 shoots out a beam of light and Veemon takes the beam which allowed him to evolve into his champion-level form.
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
[Jogress Evolution theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
As quickly as Xveemon came into being. Davis' D-3 goes flying up and a beam of energy showers over both Xveemon and Davis. They both began to encircle each other.
"Xveemon! Fusion Shinka!"
Then both individuals came together in a bright flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, a tall and armored warrior stood in their place. He had green armor, a red helmet, and blue legs. Two gun blasters came popping out from each side. He then gets into a stance and shouts out 'their' name.
"Paildramon!"
"Wormmon! It's our turn! We may have kindness but we're not going to show any remorse when we defeat our new enemy."
"Yes, Ken! Lets do this!"
Ken's D-3 powered up and it would allow Wormmon to evolve into his champion-level form.
"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"
Then, Ken's crest began to glow and then Stingmon's body was glowing a neon-green aura of light. They both encircled each other while Ken pressed the D-3 against his chest.
"Stingmon! Fusion Shinka!"
Then they came together in a single flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, a creature that looked similar to Stingmon stood there but he was now more hunched back. A dinosaur-like tail stuck out from his backside and his two arms looked similar to Xveemon's.
"Dinobeemon!"
"Gatomon! Time to let our light shine out the darkness!"
"Light prevails over the darkness as long as we're around!"
[Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
With that said, Kari's D-3 began to glow and Gatomon was now ready to evolve into her ultimate-level form. She quickly transforms from her cat form into a more, feminine human figure.
"Gatomon chou shinka! Angewomon!"
Takato and Rika stood there with awed expressions on their faces, as were Guilmon and Renamon. They couldn't believe at what they were seeing before them. The same went for Buddamon's group, with the exception of TK and Sonja.
"That's super cool! I wish I had digimon like those," said Kazu, "That's War Greymon. Metal Garurumon. Angewomon. Dinobeemon. And Paildramon. I don't even have their cards."
[War Greymon. Mega-Level. Vaccine Type. Special Techniques: Terra Force & Dramon Killer]
[Metal Garurumon. Mega-Level. Data Type. Special Techniques: Metal Wolf Claw & Giga Missile]
[Dinobeemon. Fusion Ultimate-Level. Virus Type. Special Technique: Hell Masquerade & Irritant Buzz]
[Angewomon. Ultimate-Level. Vaccine Type. Special Attacks: Celestial Arrow & Heaven's Charm]
"That's because they're special," Jeri said, "And Angewomon looks beautiful. That Kari lady must be very good to even have her as her partner. Leomon, are you able to evolve?"
"Of course, into Cyberleomon or Saberleomon. But you will have to allow me to evolve if you wanted to."
"I will. Trust me."
"Buddamon, I trust that you can handle your group just fine? Good, al right, we're heading out to Dark Magimon's location. I sense that it's over at the west location. Buddamon, you take your group in the east section."
"Yes. Lets go," Buddamon said as he quickly walks off.
"Good luck, Takato! You go and win one for them team," Henry said.
"Don't get killed while we're away!" Terriermon remarked.
As soon as they said their goodbyes, Buddamon's group had already left on their search for Calumon. Shintomon turns towards his group and then looks over at the two tamers.
"Rika. Takato. It's time to demonstrate your digimon's powers. This is the digital world, you should be able to evolve without Calumon's power source."
"Alright. Guilmon. Time for War Growlmon!"
"Renamon! Evolve time, we're going to need Taomon for this one!"
The two Tamers pull out their cards and then slash them through their D-Arks.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
Guilmon and Renamon were both transforming as their outer skins peeled away to give way to their champion-level forms."
"Guilmon shinka! Growlmon!"
"Renamon shinka! Kyuubimon!"
Then, the two digimon evolved into their ultimate-level forms.
"Growlmon matrix shinka! War Growlmon!"
"Kyuubimon matrix shinka! Taomon!"
"This settles it then! We have ourselves the elite team. We must hurry and head to the western section of the Digital World. That is where Dark Magimon is heading and no telling where he could have left Calumon. We must go now!"
"Right!" the whole group said in unison.
Shintomon goes flying off first in order to lead the group. Tai, Matt, Kari, Takato and Rika both hopped onto their respective digimon. War Greymon and Metal Garurumon were next to fly off into the skies. Then came Paildramon, Dinobeemon and Angewomon. Follow by them were War Growlmon and Taomon.
"Hey, Rika! Now this is some ride, isn't it?" Takato asked.
"Yeah, I'm ecstatic."
Takato smiles over towards Rika, but as soon as she turned to face him, she turns around with a slight blush on his face.
"Just keep to myself for now. Just keep it to yourself, Takato," the goggle boy thought.
"Just keep an eye on him, Rika. Just keep an eye on him,"Rika thought to herself.
The whole digimon boosted up their energy as waves of auras began to light up in the skies. They would get across over towards Dark Magimon's hideout by this faster pace.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Makuramon was flying off over towards the west section with both the caged-up Calumon and the energy-contained device full of Kari's energy. A slight evil smile comes across his face as he was drawing closer to his master's hide out.
"Master Magimon will be pleased at what I'm about to bring him. This is a grand day! Soon, we'll enter the human world and destroy the pathetic humans. I must make track quick or Magimon will have my head."
Just how will the group stop Makuramon in time from delivering Dark Magimon the energy source needed to revive D-Reaper and will calumon escape Makuramon's evil grasp before its too late?

[Preview]
Shintomon: We're here! This is where Magimon is hiding out.
Tai: I wonder why he needs that energy?
Takato: Not to mention why he had that monkey kidnap Calumon.
Magimon: Perfect! You've brought the energy back! Now we can use it to reawaken the D-Reaper! This is a grand day!
Dark figure: I sense the presence of that fool Shintomon along with those digimon that defeated our forces back on earth.
Magimon: The one's who destroyed my Deva slaves? Zhuqiaomon won't be happy to hear this. I want you to find them and kill them, but leave Shintomon for me.
Dark figure: Yes, sire.
Matt: He knows that we're here!
Tai: Let's do this! We can defeat this creep together!
Kari: Next time on Digimon Tamers Fusion, episode fourteen!

Keke: That's why I love ya. You're always good to the community.
Max: Yeah, yeah. So, you think you're ready for Zeomon?
Coral: I'm ready. I haven't been training fifteen days straight non-stop to quit now.
Max: Damn, you're really dedicated to you're training.

Max: Hey, guys! We're just here to inform ya that the second match between Coral and Zeomon will take place in the next artificial saga story. So, don't be surprised if you don't see Coral showing up in these fic corners.
Keke: But we do have a guest. She claims to be Coral's friend.
Celesta: Yes, she is my friend. I just don't want those two to end up killing each other.
Max: So tell us a little more about yourself…
Celesta: Well. Unlike Coral, I'm a rather gentle and generous person. I'm rather shy and timid. I have what you call a pure heart. I'm a celestial demi-goddess. Don't mistake me as an all powerful immortal, because my powers also have limits.
Max: How can you put up with such a psycho like her?
Celesta: That psycho helped me realize that it's okay to be different. I was always ridiculed for using my healing. I was called a witch and driven out from my own village. I met up with Coral and wasn't afraid after I healed her from a gruesome battle. She thanked me and I saw her as a friend. That's why it started. So I would watch it if you called her a psycho.
Keke: But she was from a once bloodthirsty warrior race! She's the last of the three!
Celesta: Yes, but she's my friend. It doesn't matter what she is. She'll always be my friend.
Max: Just watch how you hang around here. Anyway, let's get on with the Tamers fic! Our heroes have arrived in the Digital World and must stop Dark Magimon. So we'll shut the fuck up right now. Enjoy!

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
An Appearance of Darkness: The Evil Sorcerer, Dark Magimon! A Trap Awaits!
Deep within the Digital World, the landscape was barren and the canyons were just as lifeless. Unlike the other digital world, this new one seemed to still be in development of some sorts, as if life were still evolving. But that was not the case if Devas were once roaming around.
Up from above the skies, the monkey deva, Makuramon, was still carrying the caged-up Calumon and the energy-filled container. He looked down and something had caught his attention. Just as he was about to go down to investigate, He was starting to lose grasp of the cage. Then it came falling from out of his hands.
"Ack! No! Get back here!"
Makuramon went flying down as he went to snare the caged-up Calumon but then a stream of data goes shooting by, which the monkey deva was easily able to avoid. He fazes right past it and then as soon as he looked around for Calumon, he was nowhere to se seen. An angry look came across the face of Makuramon.
"Damn! I knew that I should have held him with proper care! That's a mistake that I will have regretted! Now how is the master going to respond to the fact that I had lost one important power source? I will just have to give him a good reason, because if I were to lie to him, he'll easily use his magic to make my head explode with a melon. I just hope he's in a very good mood today."
With that said, Makuramon powers up as an aura forms all over his body. He goes flying right off into the distance in hopes of making it over towards Dark Magimon's hideout.
***************************************************************************************
[Random DBZ background music plays]
Elsewhere within the Digital World, Shintomon was still leading the Tamers' group through the skies above. Among the Tamers were Tai, Matt, Takato, Rika, Kari, Davis and Ken. Davis and Ken managed to merge with their digimon to become Paildramon and Dinobeemon earlier on. The digimon also managed to monitor the area that they fly pass by, in order to pick up any strange ki levels that may be considered a threat.
Dinobeemon manages to speed up and catches right up to Shintomon as he goes over to ask the mystical guardian something concerning Dark Magimon.
"So what you are telling us is that Black Magimon created D-Reaper, who is sealed somewhere on this plane of existence? Its actually in this Digital World?"
Shintomon looks over at him with smile and replies, "That's right. The only one who could release the seal was Black Magimon, so we underestimated him and let our guard down. However, there was something that we discovered just recently. We found out that Black Magimon had a child and that child is here in this digital plane field."
"So, is he the one controlling all of the Devas, including Makuramon?" Tai asked.
"Yes, and Dark Magimon has the same black heart that Black Magimon had."
"I don't know all about this Magimon and D-Reaper talk," Paildramon said.
"In other words, all we have to do is to keep him from resurrecting the D-Reaper?" Takato asked.
"Yes, that's correct. But to do that, we have to defeat Dark Magimon. Because he is the only one who knows how to release D-Reaper."
Matt looks over across with an angry look and then looks right over towards Tai, as if giving him a 'lets get serious and take care of the situation' look. Tai turns away and faces ahead while leading War Greymon on to follow Shintomon.
"So, is this Dark Magimon that strong?" asked Tai.
"He has some pretty strong magic, but he doesn't have that much personal strength. At least that's how his father was before him. Mostly, since he can use evil in people's hearts to possess them, just like he did to each of the Devas, including Makuramon. He should be no problem unless he has possessed somebody strong."
The group then manages to fly across what seemed to be a large ocean in the middle of nowhere. This digital world seemed to have no boundaries or any limits, but then again, no digital world is ever logical.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, within the Digital World, Buddamon was leading his group right the rugged landscape. Kazu and Kenta were complaining of having tired feet and were thirsty for water. Buddamon paid no attention to their whining and continued on his walk.
"Uh, my feet are hurting. I really wish they had chairs around here. I really thought we would be in paradise right about now," said Kazu.
"Me too. Too bad! I was really looking forward to a nice peaceful time," replied Kenta, "By the way, you have any idea if we'll get any digimon partners?"
"I don't know. I hope so. I really want a cool one. I want a War Greymon just like that Tai has."
"Oh yeah? I want an Imperialdramon. Lets see you beat that!"
"Oh yeah. I'm going to end up with Virus myself. Now that's power."
"Oh man. You beat me to him. I really wanted Virus."
"Heh, too bad. He's mine now."
"Hey, Kazu? Which movie did you think was better? Freddy vs. Jason or Jeepers Creepers II?"
"We saw those two movies at the theatres the other day, right?"
"They were re-released for a special night last weekend."
"Yeah, I was there. Freddy vs. Jason definitely kicked butt! Who would have thought those two were in the same world?"
"No kidding… How did you see it? You're not even old enough to go in alone…"
"I snuck in…"
"Cheater. I had to go with my cousin! Luckily he's into those type of movies."
"It was a fun movie. Freddy's a freak!"
"No kidding. I'm thinking of being Jason this next Halloween."
"Dude, you're already uglier than Jason."
"That hurt, Kazu."
Jeri was simply giggling over at their conversation and then turns her attention right over towards Leomon, who was walking alongside of her.
"Leomon?"
"Yes, Jeri?"
"How long have you been a lone warrior?"
"For many years, Jeri. I've been battling foes from allover the other Digital World. I lived to fight and my first greatest rival was Ogremon. I was once the ultimate guardian of File Island, and my opposition was none other than Ogremon. We battled for many years. Then along came Devimon and he forced me to do his evil deeds and was forced to kill the original Digi-Destined. However, I was brought back into reality and fought alongside with them since then. I also lent a hand to them during the battles against Burizalor and Virus. And now, here, I met you. Since you received your digivice, I was no longer a lone warrior but a partner to a gentle person such as yourself."
"But, you probably think that I'm just another annoying little girl who might get in your way.
"That's not true at all, Jeri. As a matter of fact, you have the heart of a lion, that of pure and nobility. Don't you forget that."
"Thank you, Leomon. I won't forget. Are you able to digivolve?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I can. I'm able to digivolve into either Saberleomon or Cyberleomon. I prefer to be Cyberleomon since he's a better fighter. But I can expect you to bring forth my best potential within me, Jeri."
"Don't worry. I won't disappoint you."
Walking from right behind them was TK and Sonja. TK looks over and then starts to have a conversation with her.
"Sonja. I've been meaning to ask you a question."
"What is it?"
"How do you truly feel about marrying Davis? I mean, he must have done something really special to get you to marry him."
"Nothing special happened. I just got attracted to him through his childish behavior. Sometimes I had to pamper him and had to cover for him when he gets himself into trouble. It's frustrating at times, but what can I do? Nothing. I love him. But I really like pushing him around because I act so maturely. You could say that I'm the one wearing the pants in the family. He does all the cooking and I do all of the hard work around the house."
"Do you really enjoy being a house wife?"
"Sometimes I do. Depends on my mood. I really liked fighting though. These past seven years have been pretty boring. But now, looks like I got a chance to exploit the true depth of my power. And without Davis around, I won't let anything hold me back."
"Another question. You two think you would want to start a family of your own."
"As in having a baby?"
"Yeah."
"Never really thought of it, TK. You know I see Yolei and Ken having a child, then Matt and Mimi have their own child. I just don't see myself much of a motherly figure. I'm afraid if I might send a bad example towards my child. But whenever Davis feels like having one, I'll be ready to give him one. Its only a matter of time though."
"Besides, you wouldn't know since you're an artificial being," Patamon said, "We digital and artificial beings really think alike."
"You got that right, little one."
"Just hope Davis and the others are handling the situation very well. I hope they find Dark Magimon's hideout," TK replied.
Following behind them was none other than Henry and Terriermon. Terriermon was starting to show signs of being thirsty. Henry takes notice and sets him down.
"Henry. I'm thirsty! Are you sure that you didn't bring any bottled water?"
"No, because I didn't really think we needed some."
"What and you notice how hot it is out here?! I'm drying up here! I need water."
TK turns around and faces Terriermon.
"Don't worry. I got plenty of bottled water in my bag. Hold on and I'll get you guys some."
TK digs right into his backpack and then searches right through in search of a bottle of water. Terriermon waits impatiently as he sprawls down onto the ground.
"Man! What do you carry in there? Bricks?" Terriermon asked.
"More like cinder blocks," replied Patamon.
"Sheesh and they're just water bottles."
TK pulls out a bottle of water and hands it over to Terriermon, who gladly snatches it.
"What do you say?" Henry said.
"Thanks, TJ," said Terriermon.
"Um, its TK. Ugh and I thought Davis was bad," TK muttered, "Ok. So are we set to go?"
"We really need to hurry you guys. Calumon can be somewhere around here and you digimon must use your sensing abilities to pick up any nearby ki levels that come along our way," Buddamon replied, "If Dark Magimon also gets his hands on the source of digivolution itself, then he will create an ever so powerful army that even we can not stand up to."
Henry goes walking up towards Buddamon and turns to face him. The blue-haired boy responds by asking him a question.
"So why did the Devas come onto earth?"
"They each went to earth, in order to gather energy. They would use it in order to bring back D-Reaper to life, it'll need a lot of undefiled energy."
"Undefiled?"
"You mean like deflation? Geez, I never knew D-Reaper needed to be blown up," Terriermon remarked while drinking down his water bottle.
"Terriermon. This isn't the time to joke," snapped Henry.
"What? I'm trying to make everything look on the bright side. Geez, you're always so serious."
"Don't mind him, Buddamon. You may continue, before he makes another wise crack again."
"So in order to gather that undefiled energy, Dark Magimon left Makuramon onto earth. He managed to disguise himself as a child to fool you and to attempt to gather energy the easy way."
"So that's why we was in a form of a child? He certainly fooled us alright."
"When Hikari became Celesta X, she was made as an easy target for Makuramon. We suspected that Dark Magimon would do something like that, so we managed to sneak into the earth's realm. We needed to know the exact location of Dark Magimon. D-Reaper's sphere wasn't where it used to be. It had been moved somewhere else within this Digital World. That's why Shintomon and the others are after him, while we go find Calumon before Dark Magimon does."
The group all started to catch up, while Kazu and Kenta continued their bickering. Buddamon looked up and nodded in disappointment.
"Remind me to kill those guys after our mission is over with."
"You got it," Henry replied.
"Lets go a little faster so that we may find Calumon much sooner. Makuramon might have lost him since data streams always tend to get in flight's way."
"And that certainly does us favors," Henry said.
"Data streams. 'Schimata' streams. Calumon could easily outsmart that monkey is he had to just by asking him to play," Terriermon said, "Oh, right. I better keep my mouth shut."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World, a vortex was opening from the data stream and a familiar digimon came sliding out. It was none other than Impmon himself. He looked across and found another vortex that would eventually lead him back into this home.
"So, this must be heaven? Man, I never thought I'd be dead right about now. But if I were in heaven, then I should feel like a million bucks… Oh well, at least, I know that I'm alive."
As soon as he said that, the virus rookie saw himself getting plunged right through the vortex, in which he would be returned home. But little did he realize that there was somebody waiting for him along the way. A certain somebody wanted to give the little rookie the wish that he has wanted his whole digital life, possible evolution.
****************************************************************************************
Just on the other side of the Digital World, Shintomon and his group were still flying through the skylines as they traveled along in order to make it over towards the location of Dark Magimon's hideout.
"If this D-Reaper is that dangerous, why didn't you do anything when you defeated Dark Magimon's father?" asked Tai.
"There was nothing that I could have done," said Shintomon, "If I had made the slightest mistake, then the seal of D-Reaper might have been removed. Also, D-Reaper's sphere was also in a very place where digimon were still evolving into higher forms."
Over from the other side, Makuramon was now smirking to himself while flying over the oceans below him. He was only a matter of moments before making it over to Dark Magimon's hideout.
But little did he realize that he was being followed by none other than Shintomon and the group of Tamers and Digi-Destined. Kari and Angewomon sped up a little more and made it over in between War Greymon and Paildramon.
"Hey, Kari. I didn't even hear you during our conversation," said Tai.
"Yeah, well, we were just focused on this upcoming battle. We can't let anything distract us along the way," said Kari.
"I can't blame you," Paildramon replied, "We're all just as anxious."
"So are you ready?" Kari asked her brother.
"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't miss this for world! I just see this as another new adventure," Tai said, "Just like the good old days. What do you think, Kari?"
"Yeah. Just like the old one times!"
"This new enemy really sounds dangerous anyway," said War Greymon, "I wonder how much of a threat this Dark Magimon really is."
"I agree," said Angewomon.
"Looks like we'll be able to cut back loose this time around," said Tai.
"Man, those two really look excited about this. But I wonder how everything is really going to turn out. Things look really dangerous this time," Paildramon said.
*************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, in the middle of nowhere, there was a barren landscape and in the middle of it was a round, white object sticking out from the ground. Near the top of the small dome is a script letter reading 'D' and not far below it, a door opens. Two Knightmon come walking out to investigate what was heading their way. On their forehead was, of course, the 'D' marking, showing their allegiance over to Dark Magimon and D-Reaper. They stare out into the sky and a small point of light appears
"He's here."
Makuramon looks down far below and notices the two Knightmon walking out to greet him. A grin comes over his face as he goes hovering down.
"I'm back. So did you two guard the area well? Good job. I see that there were no invaders on this landscape."
"Yes, Makuramon. It was all secured."
"That's good to hear. Where is Master Magimon?"
"He's inside of the spaceship. Shall we go inform him of your arrival?"
"No. You two can hold this container filled with human energy and I'll go see the sorcerer myself."
The Tamers and the Digi-Destined all looked down to see Makuramon already on the barren landscape right near the white dome. Shintomon looked over and hovered down.
"Hmm. Odd, I've already searched this place already. We better investigate this."
As soon as the whole group landed behind a mountain, they all looked down towards the small white, dome. They also saw the two Knightmon holding onto the energy-filled container as they were conversing with Makuramon. Shintomon peers over to have a really good look.
"Okay everyone, please suppress your energy so that they won't detect us and track us down. It makes it easier for our sake."
As soon as he said that, each of the digimon managed to suppress their energy levels as they peered over to where Shintomon was looking at. After a few moments, everyone takes position on the mountain and watch the building.
"Someone is there. Is that guy with those two Knightmon, Dark Magimon?" asked Tai.
"No. That's Makuramon. That's the Deva that stole your sister's energy. Dark Magimon is much more powerful than he is."
Takato looks around the around that surrounded the small building and then spoke up.
"The ground around here looks strange. It looks as though it were recently dug up or something," the goggle boy stated.
Shintomon quickly clenches his fists angrily as he looked across the landscape.
"Damn him! He managed to hide his whole ship underground! That's why we were unable to find him!"
"Then that would mean that Dark Magimon knows that we are here in the Digital World," Taomon replied, "It would make a lot of sense."
"That's correct," said Shintomon, "Otherwise, it would be pointless for him to have hidden it underground."
"I say we hurry up and attack it," said Paildramon, "They're going to use the energy they stole from Kari to resurrect the D-Reaper."
"No, we'll wait. Besides, he'll only resurrect D-Reaper when he is on the surface, so that he won't destroy his own ship. Let us watch a little more and wait for our chance."
Back onto the dug up area, Makuramon goes walking inside of the ship while leaving the two Knightmon behind with the energy-filled container in their grasp. Just nearby was a small house of some sort and in front of it were corpses of digimon, Babamon and Jijimon. Both probably weren't dead but more like knocked out completely unconscious. Kari looks on with an angry look on her face. What she hated more then darkness itself was seeing innocent digimon getting hurt and dying. She then looks away.
Suddenly, there was a loud mechanical noise being heard and the group looked over to see something rising from the entrance of the doorway.
"Something is about to come out!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
The whole group watches in silent anticipation, but they were unable to see the darkness within the ship itself. Finally, the sound manages to stop. A black hand reaches out and grasps its doorframe, lifting its owner out. The two Knightmon kneeled and bowed in front of who looked like a small, little wizard. The little person was a short imp, with an orange cape and blue pant. His eyes were pure black with white irises in the center of it. He also had dark, purple hair. The little sorcerer goes hovering out from the ship and lands on the ground in front of the Knightmon pair.
Shintomon gasps, as he saw none other than Dark Magimon himself, but at his side was a tall, monster that looked exactly like Devimon. But this one had a more buff upper body, plus his wings were perfect, without any damage to them like Devimon had. His legs were small in size compared to his upper body. On his forehead was none other than the 'D' marking but with a purpler glare to it.
"Its King Devimon! What the hell is he doing here," exclaimed Shintomon, "So that damn sorcerer managed to recruit the King of all Devimons!"
Shintomon was staring into shock at the sight of King Devimon, a totally unexpected twist in his view. But the others were looking down and were confused over the whole situation.
Both Dark Magimon and King Devimon managed to walk out from the ship as they went up to approach Makuramon and the two Knightmon.
Takato pulls out his D-Ark and goes to get some information on King Devimon. He quickly gets a hologram image of him and his statistics.
[King Devimon. Mega Level. Fallen Angel Type. Special Attacks: Stone Spray and Demon Blade.]
"Um, yeah. He's a mega-level and pretty experienced too. But I wonder how Dark Magimon could even control a mega like him?" Takato pondered, "I bet you that Dark Magimon is at the champion-level."
"Wrong again, goggle head," Rika replied while looking at her D-Ark as she got information on Dark Magimon.
[Dark Magimon. Rookie Level. Virus Type. Special Attacks: Parapata spell and Mental Illusions.]
"Yikes! A rookie controlling a mega?! That's not logical! That's like a cat controlling a saber-toothed lion," Takato muttered.
"Remember, size doesn't always matter, Takato," Taomon said.
"So is that big guy, King Devimon?" asked Tai.
"Yes. That's King Devimon."
"So, is he really that strong?" Paildramon asked.
"Of course he's strong. He's the King of all Devimons and he is the ultimate power from the Realm of Darkness."
"Huh? What exactly is this Realm of Darkness?" Kari asked.
"On the other side of this reality is another reality, but a much more dark one. The other Digital World has the Dark Ocean as its opposite reality. But in this Digital World, it is the Realm of Darkness. One of you might be the strongest here, but in the Realm of Darkness, King Devimon is perhaps the strongest by far."
"Whoa! This guy doesn't exactly look like you could have a good conversation. He's pretty strong from what I'm sensing from his ki level. Its off the scale," Paildramon muttered, "That means he's a dangerous foe."
"So that means that the little one is none other than Dark Magimon himself?" Rika asked.
"Right."
"Is he strong?" War Growlmon asked.
"He's not that strong himself, but he controls awesome magic," replied Shintomon.
Dark Magimon levitates down onto the ground and the Knightmon walk up towards him. They bow while holding the energy-filled container while Dark Magimon began to examine it.
"Never underestimate it. Especially since he was able to charm and bring King Devimon under his control," said Shintomon.
"Is his magic strong enough to force King Devimon to do his will?" asked Takato.
"No, it takes over the evils in their hearts so that they think it is what they wanted to do all along," explained Shintomon, "That is Dark Magimon's most strongest magic. I'm sure that what he used to bring the Devas, King Devimon and the others into his henchmen. That's why only digimon and people such as ourselves who are pure of heart can fight him."
"So he takes over the evil in people's hearts? Hmm, hey Ken, are you sure that you don't have any guilt and darkness left in your heart," Paildramon asked, "Please say that your pure."
"For now, but it takes a long time to heal. Especially for somebody like myself," said Dinobeemon, "But I should be fine. Don't worry about me."
"Ok. Just double checking to make sure."
The Knightmon hold out the energy-filled device and hand it over to Dark Magimon, who gladly accepted it. A smile comes across his face while examining it even more.
"So, is this full of the energy from the human realm?" asked Dark Magimon.
The two Knightmon both nodded nervously over towards the sorcerer.
"Yes, of course, master."
King Devimon simply smirks while looking over to the Knightmon. His mere presence made their knees shake with fear.
"This was totally unexpected! I never knew that King Devimon would show up," Shintomon said, "This definitely changes everything. The combination of both Dark Magimon and King Devimon are very indestructible."
"Hmph. So if D-Reaper or whatever it is gets brought back, the two Digital Worlds will end," asked Matt, "Metal Garurumon and I won't let that happen. We'd never lose to anything like the D-Reaper."
Shintomon simply turns away from that arrogant young man and then turns his attention back over towards the ship with an angry look on his face.
"This is kind of dangerous even for us," said Paildramon.
"But not unless you mode change into Fighter Mode. Then I'm sure we can kick their butts back where they came from," said War Greymon.
"No kidding. Our combined forces would send those creeps packing where they belong," said Tai.
"Your right. It's been years since I've delivered a good ass kicking," said Paildramon, "But I usually get the butt whooping from my wife."
"Aw poor you," Kari replied, "But I'm sure she still loves you for that."
"Yeah. She can be pretty hot headed and stubborn sometimes. But, I still love her," said Paildramon.
Dark Magimon goes walking up towards his two loyal henchmen, King Devimon and Makuramon. He holds up the energy stealer in his hands and giggles. King Devimon bows in front of him. Dark Magimon turns his attention towards the Knightmon.
"You two did well. Good job for guarding the ship while Makuramon was off to do an errand for me. I see there were no invaders. I commend you. Now this brings the resurrection of D-Reaper much closer."
Both of the Knightmon anxiously replied with enthusiasm.
"With the power that we possess, it was an easy job. Piece of cake."
"Its just a shame that your two businesses with me are finished."
This quickly caught the Knightmon pair by surprise as the evil sorcerer turned around to face them.
"That's right. I have no more use for you."
With that said, Dark Magimon's eyes lit up with a red glare to them. He turns over towards the Knightmon on the left hand side. The Knightmon felt his inside quickly being crushed while the other Knightmon looked on with horror. The Knightmon was screaming and his face starts to disfigure. He turns blue to green. Dark Magimon watches gleefully as the Knightmon progresses on to a more crimson color, to a point where the Knightmon was becoming bloated.
The whole group on the mountain watched on with shocked expressions on their faces. Tai was even more shocked and literally wanted to puke at the sight of it. Kari covered her eyes and reverted herself from watching the pain, especially to another digimon.
The Knightmon's face was now a more normal color, but his face was now starting to contort and his eyes were bulging out. Dark Magimon's eyes glow and widen briefly, as the Knightmon exploded into data. Dark Magimon holds out his hand and absorbs the last of the Knightmon's data.
The group was stunned beyond belief at what they just saw, a dark leader riding himself of a henchman for simply guarding the territory. It was sick beyond belief.
Just as stunned as the group, the other Knightmon backed away in total fear. He looked over at the trio, who had smiles across their faces.
"Ha. He went boom. I'll never get tired of hearing that sound," said Dark Magimon, "Too bad. You know, I really liked him too."
"Yes, a terrible loss," Makuramon cynically remarked.
"Now for our other friend," King Devimon said as he looked over towards the other Knightmon.
The Knightmon backed away in fear, then flies away from sight. He wanted to do no more with Dark Magimon and his cronies. But he would soon pay for his departure.
"Makuramon. Would you please kill him?" the dark sorcerer asked.
"Yes," replied Makuramon.
The monkey deva holds his right arm straight out into the air, and supports it with his left. He was now aiming for the fleeing Knightmon. His hand glows and he fires a single ki-blast. It quickly closes in and finally hits the Knightmon. The armored monster screamed out and exploded into data. Dark Magimon gathers it by holding out his hands and starts absorbing it.
"Ah, nice shot, Makuramon," commended Dark Magimon.
The Tamers and the Digi-Destined all looked on with shocked looks on their faces, all except Matt. The digimon also sported the stunned face expressions, just as Shintomon was.
"What kind of people would kill their own henchmen," Kari asked, "That's murder! What are they?!"
Makuramon turns around to face the evil sorcerer and gives an honorable bow to him. Dark Magimon simply smiles and holds onto the energy stealer with a protective look on his face.
The three evil powers looked on with smiles on their faces after disposing of the two worthless Knightmon. Dark Magimon could only look on while chuckling to himself.
"That was very boring. Those looks on the Knightmons' faces are what I am really looking forward to."
King Devimon chuckles and then responds to the sorcerer.
"We'll see many faces like that once we enter the human realm."
"I really can't wait! I'm so looking forward to that," the sorcerer muttered as he giggles to himself.
The group from the cliff could only look on with stunned and disgusted looks on their faces. They were in disbelief at what Dark Magimon had done to his own men.
"This is terrible," said Tai.
"I can't believe that they kill their own men," said Kari.
Paildramon looks on and gave angry looks over towards the sorcerer and his henchmen. He then looks over at the others speechless.
"That is the cruel games that Dark Magimon operates," said Shintomon, "First he uses his magic to possess them, and then when he has no more use for them, he kills them off as if they were diseased animals. He's going to continue doing that to gather more energy so that he can resurrect D-Reaper."
Tai and Takato turned from Shintomon and then they shifted their focus back onto Dark Magimon and his henchmen.
Just then, Dark Magimon was picking up several ki levels from his surroundings and turns his eyes towards the nearby mountains without even turning his head to look over his shoulder.
"Oh there's something else…"
"What is it, master?" King Devimon asked.
"It would seem that we have some company. Just along that cliff sides are none other than Shintomon and several of his other friends."
Makuramon is shocked at what he just heard and then looks across his surroundings anxiously. But King Devimon simply stands there with a smirk on his face.
"Those fools think that they are well hidden. There are about thirteen in all. Each of them is strong. We can't steal the energy from Shintomon, but there are five of which we can steal more energy from."
"Really? And that would mean more energy for D-Reaper! Now marvelous!"
Dark Magimon goes levitating over towards King Devimon and lands right in front of him.
"I never thought that D-Reaper would be brought back this soon. We should get those five into the spaceship right away."
"Yes, but Shintomon will most likely try to prevent it."
"Oh I think we can get through with that problem easily, King Devimon. Clean up all but the five we want, and then get back into the ship. The five will probably follow you back in before they can even think about it."
"I see. That would be my duty, then."
"Yes. That's right. Oh, and don't kill Shintomon yet. I want to take my time killing that brat off for good."
"Understood, Dark Magimon. I will gladly leave him for you."
"I'll leave the rest up to you, then."
"Yes."
With that said, Dark Magimon goes walking towards the ship while carrying the energy stealer in his hands. Makuramon turns to face him and then speaks out.
"But, Dark Magimon. What about me?"
"Makuramon. I think King Devimon should handle them without any problems. Why don't you follow me and come inside. You can fight them in stage one."
Dark Magimon goes levitating down into the ship and Makuramon goes flying to follow right after him.
"Alright, but hopefully, I can get my shot at those pathetic humans."
As soon as the monkey deva left to follow Dark Magimon inside, all that was left outside the ship was none other than King Devimon, who was waiting anxiously.
The group looks on as they were peering over towards King Devimon and began to question his next motive.
"They just went inside and left King Devimon behind," said Tai.
"I wonder what they're up to?" War Greymon pondered.
Shintomon keeps his focus onto King Devimon and not responding to his question. He knew what exactly was coming up and knew what kind of a move that King Devimon is planning on making now.
King Devimon looks over his shoulder and towards the group with an evil grin on his face.
"Now. Let us begin."
With that said, the demon popped his knuckled and clenched his fists tightly. A little dust begins to fly up around him. It begins to spin faster and gain in size, but it's never more than a few inches high. Shintomon gasps and the others look on to where King Devimon was hovering.
"He knows that we're here," Matt exclaimed.
Suddenly, King Devimon vanished within the speed of light and flies up to the side of the mountain. Almost immediately, he's arrived with his arm out, the palm of his right hand just inches away from Rika's face. Takato goes running right in front of King Devimon and pushes Rika to the side.
"Get down!"
As soon as the goggle boy made his move, King Devimon slaps the boy away with one quick swipe of his hand. The tremendous force sends the goggle boy flying back. Rika gasps and then runs over to Takato's side.
"Takato! Hang on goggle head! Taomon, make him pay!"
"As you wish! Lets go War Growlmon!"
"Nobody hurts Takatomon!"
King Devimon chuckles under his breath, while both Tai and War Greymon both looked up at him with sheer anger.
"Damn you," exclaimed Tai.
[Deftones "Shove It" plays]
With that said, War Greymon, followed by Taomon and War Growlmon come flying all together as they sent out their attacks over at the demon.
"Atomic Blaster!"
"Talisman Spell!"
"Terra Force!"
King Devimon watched as the three separate attacks came hurtling towards him. He dodged the Kanji symbol of the 'Talisman Spell' and cancels it out with one ki blast. Then he dodges the 'Atomic Blaster' and watches as the tremendous energy blast nails a nearby mountain and causes it to explode with one large bang. King Devimon phases out and the Terra Force goes plowing down into the rocky mountain below and explodes.
Metal Garurumon was next as he fires away an ice beam over at the demon.
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
King Devimon avoids it by simply maneuvering away to the side and uses his claws to break right through it. Angewomon goes flying up and unleashes a powerful Heavens Charm but King Devimon evades it with a single ki blast.
Paildramon goes next as he fires away his Depserado Blaster but the demon holds out his hands to cancel out the multi-shot barrage. Dinobeemon went for his Hell Masquerade but King Devimon manages to maneuver away by phasing out.
King Devimon phases on top of the mountain and then looks over amongst the group with smirk.
"I've seen enough! Its time to mega digivolve, Davis!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"Lets go for it!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Suddenly, a huge beam comes out of nowhere and showers over Paildramon as he goes spinning around. Then he transforms into a large dragon with a cannon on his back.
"Paildramon mega shinka! Imperialdramon!"
Then, Imperialdramon erects himself and stands on two feet. The cannon on his back was now on his left arm and a head comes popping out on top.
"Imperialdramon mode change! Fighter Mode!"
Imperialdramon Fighter Mode goes flying up and then points his cannon arm over at King Devimon and powers up. Then, a huge energy beam comes shooting out over towards the demon, but King Devimon manages to maneuver away with ease. The demon looks down over the group with total satisfaction and then makes his move over towards Dinobeemon.
"Come and get some, ugly!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
But just as Dinobeemon was going to attack, King Devimon releases a black mist from his mouth and sprays all over Dinobeemon. The ultimate-level digimon was struggling from the mist. Shintomon looks on with shock.
"Oh no! I should have told them about his mist!"
Imperialdramon takes notice of this and goes flying right towards King Devimon. He went for another Positron Laser shot but King Devimon quickly cuts him off with a black mist as it manages to cover Imperialdramon's gigantic body.
Tai watches on in confusion as area around the mist on Imperialdramon's chest starts to turn white. Suddenly, he spins around when Dinobeemon begins screaming. His face and arms were quickly being turned into stone.
"Oh no! Davis! Ken!" Kari exclaimed with terror.
But just as Dinobeemon manages to struggle against it, the stone spreads all around his body. Matt gasps in shock for the first time and wasn't as confident anymore. Within a few moments, Dinobeemon finally completed his transformation into a fully-grown statue.
Meanwhile, Imperialdramon was staring into shock as he watched his arms turn to stone within a matter of moments.
"Davis! Ken! What's happening to them?" War Greymon asked frantically.
But it was already too late; Imperialdramon's transformation into stone was complete as well. Tai spins around to face Shintomon.
"What the hell just happened to them?" he asked.
"They're now stone…"
Tai goes running up towards the Imperialdramon statue, just as War Greymon was running up to the Dinobeemon statue. But Shintomon called out to them.
"No! Stop!"
"Why should we?!"
"If you manage to touch them, they will fall down and break. Then there will be no way to put them back together again."
"What?! No! Damn you," Tai exclaimed over at King Devimon.
The demon looked down at the group laughing maniacally. War Greymon looks up towards him and growls under his breathe.
"Damn you!"
Kari reverts from looking over at the statues and angrily looks up towards the chuckling King Devimon. Her fists were clenching.
"This is your final warning, you pathetic humans! No one can oppose Dark Magimon! Leave here at once if you have the brains!"
Still laughing, King Devimon goes flying right down towards the ship and descends inside the dark entranceway in order to meet up with Dark Magimon to plan out their next assault.
Kari and Angewomon both run towards the edge of the mountain. They looked over towards the ship with angry looks. Matt and Metal Garurumon came following behind them a few feet away. Next came Shintomon, followed by Tai and War Greymon.
Takato was slowly reviving himself as Rika helped him up to his feet. He peers over at the red-hair girl.
"Thanks Rika."
As soon as he said that, Rika quickly turns away and Takato looks on with a smirk on his face.
"She managed to help me up? That's so unlike her."
"Remind myself never to do that again. I can't believe that I touched him. But I didn't want him just to lay there all day."
"Hey, Taomon? What do you think?" War Growlmon asked.
"Don't ask. We got more important issues. They should have known about the stone spray, but it was quite unexpected," Taomon replied.
"Yeah, we got more important issues to deal with anyway. Lets go goggle head," Rika said.
"Right behind ya, um, Rika…"
They managed to join up with the group as they all gazed over towards the ship in the center of the ground below.
**************************************************************************************
Back on earth, Sora was walking through the streets of Odaiba while looking out towards the sunset. She had finished her day at the flower shop and peered over a picture of when herself and Tai were going to Australia one time on a summer vacation. She picks it up and it shows a picture of Sora sitting on one side of a table, while Tai was gobbling down ten plates of shrimp on the Barbie.
"Ah. I wonder how Tai and the others are doing in the new Digital World. I thought there would never be a second Digital World, but after what Izzy told me, I was caught by surprise. Then after seeing those Devas on T.V. made me wonder if there will be any other invasions that might occur in our world. I just hope they can get the job done and stop this dark sorcerer."
Suddenly, Biyomon came walking in with a plate full of cookies and juice.
"Sora. The cookies are done. I just wanted to bring them in to you."
She looks over to Sora, who was looking out the window.
"What's wrong, Sora? Are you still thinking about Tai and the others?"
"Yeah, you could say that."
"Don't worry about those boys. They'll be fine. I mean we all survived Virus seven years ago after all."
"True. I guess I shouldn't be worried over anything simple anyways. So, how did the cookies turn out?"
"Nice and soft just how you like them."
"Mmhmm."
They both sat down to eat the cookies and take sips from their juice cups. Sora looks out the window once again and smiles.
"You had better come back, Taichi Kamiya. Cause I'm not through with you yet."
As soon as she walked by, the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena was jam-packed as a feature presentation of the entire day's Battle City tournament was being broadcasted. Duke Devilin was smart to do this, in order to increase the popularity of his stores.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the crowds were starting to stir as anticipation for the Battle City semi-finals was soon about to take place. Numerous duelists have either qualified or have been eliminated in the process.
Cody and Armadillomon were amongst the large crowd that sold out within the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena.
"Wow! These are what I call some close calls! That Yugi boy managed to beat that cloaked freak," Armadillomon stated.
"But I wonder why that guy had a symbol glowing from his forehead? Maybe to add for special effects and bring more attention to the tournament?"
Little did Cody know that the evil Marik has managed to recruit a group of devious Rare Hunters to help him track Yugi, defeat him and take his Millennium Puzzle. Even with the Digi-Destined team attempting to stop Dark Magimon, Yugi had to save the earth from being overtaken by the evil Marik.
"I can't believe this crowd! Looks like we bought our tickets before they sold out! I haven't seen a crowd like this since the big wrestling event that came here," Cody said.
"I really wish they have a popcorn guy around here? Or maybe even a hotdog man."
"Hotdog! Get you're hotdog!"
"Ooo! My prayers have been answered."
"You can't go around and ask for a hotdog in public. I'll pay for them. I really don't want you to cause a scene."
"Right… They can't see me barking out for a hotdog… Silly me…"
Cody raised his hands over to catch the hotdog man's attention. Cody paid for two chili cheese dogs. As soon as he paid the man, he hands Armadillomon a hotdog. The ravenous digimon snatches the hotdog and starts munching away.
"Yeah! This is what I call a dog!"
"Like I've always said, you're such a glutton."
"I can't help it!"
Elsewhere within the crowd, Sasami sat down near front row along with Ayeka, Ryoko and Tenchi. This night was also Sasami's birthday. Tenchi decided that this night would be for Sasami and a break from cooking.
"Wow! I never knew there were events like this!" Sasami exclaimed. "Thanks for the birthday present!"
"We figured that you needed a break from cooking, even if it is for one night," Tenchi replied.
"Well, I didn't mind having to cook tonight. I guess I needed a break once in a while. So, this is what a Duel Monsters tournament is? Those holograms are so life-like!"
"I only wish they sold some saki here," said Ryoko. "I'm so parched."
"Ryoko! This is a family event! I doubt they will be selling those here! You are so inconsiderate!" Ayeka stated.
"Ayeka. This is your sister's birthday. We really don't want you to start with you're usual bullshit. Just save it for one night."
"I don't think so!"
"If you won't do it for me, then do it for Sasami," said Tenchi. "We really don't need this. This is Sasami's night."
"Alright. I'm sorry, Sasami. You're right. Let's just have fun tonight."
"Thank you, Ayeka. That's all I ask for," the little girl replied.
With that said, the four stopped their usual ramble and continued to watch the event. The crowd witnessed as the duel between Joey and Espa Roba was about to take place. It was down to Joey's luck and Roba's Jinzo.
****************************************************************************************
Back in the Digital World, the stone statues of Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon stood there with their shocked expressions still intact. The group looks over them and was just as angry as ever. They couldn't believe the fact that their very own comrades were taken out of the equation as a result of a stone spray.
Tai examines the two statues and was nodding with an angry look.
"Davis! Ken! You guys didn't deserve this. We'll make up for your revenge," he said.
Matt looks on, still surprised and befuddled by the whole incident, just as everybody else was. Tai turns away from the statues and turns to face Shintomon.
"Hey, Shintomon! You said that they won't return to normal if we break them, but is there a way to bring them back to life?" Tai asked.
"Yes. There is a way. The only way to bring them back is to defeat King Devimon."
"Ah, so there is a way," Tai said sporting a smile, which turns into a more determined expression.
"So that's all?" War Greymon asked, "We'll have them back in no time."
"Piece of cake," replied Takato.
"Easy as pie," War Growlmon said.
Shintomon was caught completely by surprise at what they were saying and couldn't believe that they were just as confident as ever.
"Lets go, big brother! You're going, aren't you?" Kari asked, "We have to do this for both Davis and Ken!"
"Of course. Lets go!" Tai exclaimed.
As soon as they said that, War Greymon and Angewomon both picked up their partners and quickly phased out. They both went flying down towards the ship, but Shintomon goes calling out to them.
"Wait you four! You aren't possibly thinking of going in there?! Don't fall for his plans!"
They turned around to face him.
"Going into his ship is exactly what he wants you to do! We have to observe it a little longer!"
"No! I'm sorry but I can't just let my friends stay like that!" exclaimed Tai.
"We'll see you later, Shintomon," Kari cries out.
With that said, the two digimon went flying off down towards the ship. Shintomon turns around to see Matt on top of Metal Garurumon's back. Matt looks over at Shintomon.
"Sorry, but patience was never our strongest virtues."
As soon as he said that, Metal Garurumon goes soaring off down towards the ship. Shintomon then turns to see War Growlmon and Taomon carrying their respective Tamer partners.
"Don't tell me that you two are going as well?!"
"Well, duh! Of course! We wouldn't miss this for the world," said Rika.
"Guard the area until we all get back," Takato said.
"Bye bye, Shintomon!" calls out War Growlmon.
"Oh brother. Just ignore him," replied Taomon.
Shintomon watched on as the whole group were flying down over towards the ship's entrance. The Supreme guardian lowers his head, sighs to himself and then reluctantly follows behind the Digi-Destined and Tamer team.
War Greymon and Angewomon land just right outside the ship and they run over towards the door. Tai and Kari managed to peer inside, but can see a little more than a dark tunnel dropping almost straight down. Matt and Metal Garurumon a few feet behind them and approaches the ship. Soon, War Growlmon and Taomon managed to catch up as well. Tai looks over towards the others.
"Lets go."
"Right!"
War Greymon was the first to drop down into the ship while Tai had that same determined smile on his face. Behind him comes Angewomon followed by Metal Garurumon, War Growlmon and Taomon.
Dark Magimon watches on laughing through a crystal ball.
"Here they come! They're a bunch of idiots!"
Dark Magimon starts to giggle once again, while King Devimon manages to speak up.
"Hm. They fell for the trap so easily."
The entire group all land in a well lit, elliptical room. White panels made up the upper walls and ceilings, with a dark, blue strip comprising most of the wall at the mid-level, and then whiter panels on the floor, with a huge circle in the middle. They all looked around the room.
"What is this place? Its just an empty room," War Greymon said.
"There's a door over there. Shall we break in?" Kari asked.
There was no answer for a few moments. But after several seconds, something manages to catch Tai's attention and he looks back up towards the direction they came in. Shintomon appears and comes dropping into the room with them.
"Shintomon! So you ended up coming here too," Takato asked, "What a relief. We didn't want you to stand out there waiting."
Shintomon has his back towards the group, and turns around with angry expression.
"You are all being foolish after what you just did."
Suddenly, they hear a mechanical sound and look up to see the entranceway starting to seal up.
"It looks like after you enter this ship, there's no getting out until we've defeated Dark Magimon," explained the Supreme guardian.
Tai stares right up into the ceiling and sighs.
"So, all we have to do is defeat Dark Magimon."
"Hmph. If I wanted to get out, Metal Garurumon will easily destroy this ship!" Matt growled.
"No you won't," exclaimed Shintomon, "If you and your friend cause a large shock, D-Reaper maybe resurrected.
Matt looks on, while Shintomon pauses for a moment. The Supreme guardian manages to continue on his warning.
"You're underestimating Dark Magimon and D-Reaper. Even if D-Reaper isn't at full power, he's still strong enough to kill us and destroy the two Digital Worlds instantly!"
Matt simply looks on without even replying to Shintomon.
"Man and I thought I was arrogant," said Rika, "This guy is something else."
"Well, at least, you're not knocking me out for ever word that comes out of my mouth," Takato replied.
"True."
Dark Magimon continues to look on through his crystal ball. He just noticed Shintomon and was giggling once again.
"So, Shintomon came as well? This is just too perfect!"
Matt looks across the room and then turns his attention back to Metal Garurumon.
"Even so, this is an empty room."
*****************************************************************************************
Behind the group is the one door that Kari had pointed out to earlier. It also had the 'D' marking on the front. Behind it was none other than Makuramon, who looks on anxiously with a grin on his face.
"Master Magimon…"
"What do you want, Makuramon?"
"Isn't it about time?" the monkey deva asked while anxiously rubbing his fists.
"Ah, sorry to keep you waiting. Ok, Makuramon, take the energy from those five."
"Right! Allow me!"
Makuramon then crossed his arms and waited for the door to be opened up.
Dark Magimon looks down at the power drainer and had almost completely forgotten about it.
"Oh. I almost forgot about this. I'd better give D-Reaper this energy."
His crystal ball goes floating away and lands on a pedestal nearby.
"We don't have to watch. We already know how this battle might turn out."
"Ah, yes, master."
Dark Magimon walks away giggling while King Devimon goes following behind him. They stop within a dark room in front of a large, purple ball. It seems to be split into two halves, as there's a crevasse running around all at one spot. There were a lot of weird lines that were pulsing much like sickly human veins sticking out on the surface. Dark Magimon starts laughing again.
******************************************************************************************
The group stood around, and finally, the door starts to open up. Everyone watches curiously, except Shintomon who was looking on with fear. The door slowly rises. It finally reveals Makuramon with a grin and his arms crossed. He steps into the room and laughs.
"Ha. Welcome fellow warriors. You have arrived at stage one."
"The first stage?" asked Kari.
"So, you're Makuramon I take it," War Greymon stated promptly.
[Makuramon. Ultimate-Level. Deva digimon. Special Techniques: Raurava & Primal Orb]
Makuramon points down at floor and begins explaining.
"Dark Magimon is at the bottom level of this ship. However, you will have to defeat warriors on each stage in order to descend further. I am your first opponent on the first stage, which means that you're all going to die here!"
With that said, Makuramon starts laughing hysterically. The group could only look on dumbfounded and nobody was replying. But Tai managed to speak up.
"Ha. Alright guys, which one of wants to go first?"
Makuramon stops laughing and uncrosses his arms, with a surprised look on his face.
******************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon jams the power stealer into the side of the purple sphere. A meter begins running. King Devimon looks on with a grin on his face. Finally, Dark Magimon removes it and goes to check on the meter. Then a shocked expression comes across his face.
"Huh? This is in… incredible! How'd they get this much energy at one time? They were only able to get almost half of the energy we need."
"What?"
"Hmmm. How many hundreds of digimon did those Knightmon steal energy from for the last couple of weeks? Plus not to mention the people's energy that Makuramon had stolen from earth."
"Well… I didn't ask."
"If they could get this much energy in that short time, maybe I shouldn't have killed them."
The evil sorcerer began scratching his chin, but King Devimon merely chuckles.
"What? It's ok. With those five in there fighting, we should get almost a full tank of energy. If things go well, D-Reaper will be resurrected today."
"That's why I invited them here. I wonder if Makuramon has finished taking care of those five yet. Lets take a look, King Devimon."
The demon grins while Dark Magimon walks up to his crystal ball.
"Lets see."
Just then, an image comes up on his crystal ball of the three Digi-Destined and the two Tamers throwing their fists in a center. Both Makuramon and Shintomon stand off to the side, watching.
"What?! They haven't started fighting yet," the sorcerer asked frantically.
*****************************************************************************************
Back inside the room itself, Makuramon watches in bewilderment. Each Tamer and Destined were throwing their hand out in the circle they formed, and were chanting 'its a tie!' They were playing a little rock, paper and scissors to decide who will go in to start off against Makuramon. However, none of them are coming out on top, and so they keep going on over and over again. Shintomon is just as confused as Makuramon.
"Huh? What are they doing?" Dark Magimon managed to ask.
"Damn! Another tie!" said Matt.
"Its a tie!" replied Kari.
"I hate tie breakers," said Rika.
They all went for another and this time around the result was different. Everyone had a paper, while Matt had a scissors. A smirk forms across his face.
"Ha. Scissors wins."
"Aww, damn. I wanted War Greymon to tear him apart," said Tai.
"Well, sorry that you won't get that chance. Oh well, better luck next time."
"Uh excuse me… Are you planning on fighting him yourself?" asked Shintomon.
Matt crosses his arms and turns to face him.
"Of course. Metal Garurumon will easily wipe the floor with him."
"I'm strong enough against him anyway," replied the metallic wolf.
Makuramon still seems to be confused, but after the whole rock-paper-scissors game, he finally gets back into reality. He crosses his arms and laughs once again.
"Dark Magimon said that they were strong and that I should be careful, but you're nothing but a bunch of idiots!"
"Isn't Dark Magimon the idiot," Matt said, "Because he didn't examine us better, you're going to regret this. It just happened that the strongest digimon in the two worlds are standing in front of you."
"You're the strongest?"
The monkey deva begins to laugh and quickly leaps into the air, disappearing. He reappears when he lands across the room.
"You know you'll never make it out of here!"
The monkey disappears once again as everybody watches on.
"You guys shouldn't underestimate him! Dark Magimon has assembled the strongest fighters from across the two Digital Worlds."
War Greymon quickly just pats the Supreme guardian on his shoulders.
"Calm down. Matt and Metal Garurumon will take care of this," said Tai.
"Huh? Are you sure?"
"Positive," said Tai.
"I just hope he's right about that," Rika said.
"Ditto here. We don't know how strong this monkey deva is," said Takato.
Makuramon finally reappears on the ground.
"You'll never leave here."
He jumps up once again, and reappears only a few feet from he's had just been.
"All the damage that you take will become energy that this room absorbs."
The monkey then disappears, and then reappears a few feet closer towards the Destined and Tamer group.
"And it will go straight to D-Reaper."
"Well that won't be a problem, since you won't be able to take our energy, I don't think you will be able to make a dent on Metal Garurumon. If we don't get hurt, then our energy won't be taken."
Suddenly, Makuramon appears right next to him.
"Keep dreaming! I won't even give you a chance to make your attack…"
He jumps back once again and lands near the wall.
"…Because when you fight Makuramon, death is a certainty."
"Ugh, this guy is getting really annoying," said Matt.
[Stone Cold's theme "Oh Hell Yeah" from WW(F) Vol. 3 plays]
Metal Garurumon quickly disappears and reappears right in front of Makuramon with a grin on his face.
"Welcome to the end of your life, Deva. And I promise that it's going to hurt."
"Wow, that's cold," War Growlmon muttered.
"Makuramon has no chance," Taomon said, "I'll give him only a few minutes."
Makuramon grins right over to Metal Garurumon but doesn't reply.
"Come and get him," Matt said, "We're waiting…"
*****************************************************************************************
"Bah. This 'Matt' is overconfident," King Devimon commented.
Both he and Dark Magimon start to laugh as they had already placed their bets on Makuramon to finish off Metal Garurumon and steal energy for D-Reaper's revival.
*****************************************************************************************
Metal Garurumon and Makuramon stared over at each other as they prepared to fight one another. Tai, Kari, Takato and Rika all looked on in anticipation, along with their digimon. But Shintomon still wasn't so sure.
"Yamato… Becareful…"
Metal Garurumon simply gives Makuramon the death stare, and the monkey deva quickly adopts a fighting pose. He lifts a leg up, then leaps into the air and flies right at Metal Garurumon.
The first stage battle has now begun between Makuramon and Metal Garurumon. But why is Matt so confident? Do these two have the ability to shut down Dark Magimon's first henchman? You will just have to stick around for the next D-Tamers!

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Makuramon and Majiramon Look Out! Metal Garurumon and Omega X Won't Hold Back!
Digital World. Inside Dark Magimon's ship
[Prodigy "Smack my B*tch Up!" plays]
Makuramon goes flying right towards Metal Garurumon while laughing hysterically to himself. He goes to pull his foot back, in order to deliver a kick to the metallic wolf.
"Die, insolent traitor!"
However, as soon as he collides with Metal Garurumon, he noticed that the wolf easily blocked the kick with his shoulder. Makuramon looks on with a surprised look on his face, to say the least. He goes jumping back and then delivers a punch, which Metal Garurumon catches just as easily as the previous kick. He closes his paw around Makuramon's fist and pushes it out of the way.
Being completely taken off guard by Metal Garurumon's strength, Makuramon jumps to the door with a back handspring. A grin comes over the face of the monkey deva.
"You're better than I thought!" said Makuramon, "But this is as far as you get!"
Metal Garurumon lowers his guard and Makuramon goes charging towards him. He goes to swipe at Metal Garurumon's head, but the wolf simply ducks under. He then goes and delivers a flurry of punches. But seemingly effortlessly, Metal Garurumon dodges each one. Every once in a while, the Deva throws a kick into the mix, but those don't even get any better results either. Finally, one of those kicks manages to end in the futile assault as Metal Garurumon catches it with his mouth, which once again catches Makuramon off guard.
While holding onto Makuramon's right leg by the ankle, Metal Garurumon delivers a devastating head butt into the Deva's stomach. A huge crack was heard from the forceful impact as Makuramon goes sailing back into a nearby wall and falls face down on the ground. Shintomon looks on in complete shock at what he was looking.
Makuramon manages to shake the cobwebs out and slowly lifts himself from the ground. Metal Garurumon approaches him, while Matt looks on with a confident grin on his face.
"See? Now you know why we said that Metal Garurumon can handle this himself," said War Greymon.
"He's not even breaking a sweat," replied Tai, "That Deva doesn't stand a chance."
Still on his knees, Makuramon angrily looks up to see Metal Garurumon right in his face. He cries out in surprise and complete fear while the wolf was giving him a death glare.
"Wow, he's awesome!" Rika said, "He isn't even breaking a single drop."
"We already know who's going to get their ass kicked," Taomon stated.
Suddenly, Makuramon jumps up in order to make his next attack, but Metal Garurumon immediately catches him off guard with a mule kick to the face and manages to send the Deva flying back towards a wall. However, Makuramon managed to catch himself in time and bounces off of the wall with the use of his feet. He springs right back. Metal Garurumon quickly phases out as soon as Makuramon lands on his feet. The monkey looks over around him but sees only Shintomon and the other digimon along with the Destined and the Tamers.
Just then, he hears somebody phasing right behind him and quickly turns around to see who was about to attack him from behind.
"I'm over here, you fool," Metal Garurumon muttered under his breath.
"Maka!"
Makuramon turns to face the wolf and promptly gets punched in the face. The monkey deva goes falling down onto the ground bouncing as if he were a basketball.
"Wow… He's good," Shintomon complemented the metallic wolf.
"He's awesome," replied War Greymon.
"Nicely done, Metal Garurumon!" Angewomon said.
"You're a lot more powerful than you were before," stated Kari.
"You da 'mon!" exclaimed Tai, "Matt, you've trained him hard, dude"
"We have proven that we haven't slacked off these past seven years. Even if we did have tours to go to," the blonde-haired young man replied.
Shintomon looks on at the fight, still stunned by Metal Garurumon's tremendous power.
"No! What is that stupid monkey think he is doing?" Dark Magimon angrily asked, "If he doesn't gain any damage, we won't be able to resurrect D-Reaper!"
King Devimon simply grins while watching the battle occur on the crystal ball.
"He hasn't even started yet. He just let his guard down earlier. Just watch, he's going to get serious now."
Metal Garurumon prowls up towards Makuramon slowly with a calm look on his intimidating face.
"What's the matter? Had enough?"
"No!"
Makuramon manages to pick himself up from the floor with an angry look on his face. He goes to throw a punch out at his metallic adversary, but Metal Garurumon easily jumps up and fires a missile at him. Makuramon cries out in surprise and manages to revive himself.
As soon as the monkey turned around, he was met with a fist to the face. Makuramon cries out while covering his bruised face. Then, Metal Garurumon unleashes a barrage of his own balled up paws and punched the monkey with repeated hits. But unlike Makuramon, Metal Garurumon was actually making contact with his adversary's face.
Both Shintomon and Dark Magimon could only look on with shock, at different locations. But they were completely stunned at such a simple being beating the living day lights out of an experienced deva.
Another fist to the face manages to send Makuramon flying back, as the barrage finally ends. Metal Garurumon follows it up with another much stronger punch right in the exact spot, and Makuramon is once again thrown down onto the ground.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was angry and scowls at the sight of the battle. He turns to face King Devimon.
"Hey, King Devimon, what is Makuramon's favorite place for a perfect battle? This room doesn't look like its doing favors for him."
"It's in the high gravity landscape known as the Magnetic Forest Zone."
"Magnetic Forest Zone. All right! Here we go!"
As soon as he said that, the evil sorcerer holds up his hands over the crystal ball as he begins to chant his special magic. Small waves were now coming out of his hands to signify his powerful magic.
"PARAPATA!"
***************************************************************************************
Just as Metal Garurumon was about to approach Makuramon to begin another onslaught attack, he and Matt watches as the room begins to change and the group find themselves within a metallic forest of some sorts. Heavy machinery starts to fall from the trees and dust blows all around them. Metal Garurumon looks on in total surprise. The only resemblance of the former room was the large circular area at the center of the room.
"What the hell just happened?" asked Kari.
"It looks like we were transported somewhere within the Digital World. It looks like the Magnetic Forest Zone," replied Taomon.
"Weird, I've never been in a place like this," War Growlmon said.
"Thats because you've never been here buddy," said Takato.
"So, what's up with this?" asked War Greymon.
"Its all Dark Magimon's doings. He used his magic to change the room. Its probably a place that favors a fighter," Shintomon explained.
"Ah, this should be interesting," said Tai.
"Taichi! You don't get it! Metal Garurumon is at a disadvantage! Order Matt to call him off."
"Oh yeah. Just watch," Matt said.
Shintomon gasps at their reaction and then turns towards Metal Garurumon to watch his progress in the battle. The metallic wolf was still looking all over his surroundings, just as confused as ever. Makuramon sits up and starts laughing.
"This is as far as you go!" said Makuramon.
The metallic mega looks towards his adversary and watched as Makuramon picks up a piece of metal from the ground.
"This is my home, the Magnetic Forest Zone. My data was created here."
With that said, he drops the piece of rock and watches as it falls down onto the ground. Then it gets crushed after the fall. This now would signify how powerful the magnetic energy was in the forest. It was indeed very strong to endure, but Metal Garurumon didn't seem to be effected by it since his metal is immune to the magnetic energy around him.
"This is ten times more than the gravity back where we left! You won't stand a chance! Your hopes of winning have now gone down the drain! Maka!"
The monkey starts laughing hysterically, but a grin forms across the face of Matt. Makuramon takes notice of this and stops laughing.
[SSJVegtia's English theme plays]
"Big deal? A mere ten times the gravity means nothing for Metal Garurumon. He doesn't even feel it."
"What?! You're just bluffing! I know you are!"
"Oh yeah? Well then. Prove our bluff wrong, my friend."
"Shut up, you damned idiot!"
As soon as he said this, Makuramon goes flying right over at Metal Garurumon and starts throwing out punches at him. But the wolf managed to maneuver away from each punch. Then, he takes advantage and punches Makuramon hard in the chest. The Deva's face contorts in extreme pain with his eyes almost bulging out. Metal Garurumon follows it up with a mule kick to the same area. This powerful force was enough to send Makuramon flying back towards a rocky hill nearby. Makuramon manages to pull himself up from the crushes rubble and looks over towards his adversary.
Metal Garurumon starts hopping up and down as he quickly gets into a fighting pose, with a grin on his face.
"We told you that we weren't lying and we proved your bluff wrong," Matt replied, "So you want some more? Give up!"
"No! Damn you, human lover!"
As soon as he said that, Makuramon gets up and starts charging right over towards Metal Garurumon like a mad man possessed. Metal Garurumon charges right at him. Right at the point where they would have collided, Metal Garurumon disappears and reappears right under the deva. Makuramon watches in fear as the wolf places his mouth right in front of the Deva's chest. Makuramon goes shrinking back in total fear while Matt looks on with a grin on his face. Metal Garurumon's mouth begins to glow a metallic, blue color while Makuramon looks on gasping.
"Ice Wolf Claw!"
As soon as the ice beam goes right through him, Makuramon lets out a murderous scream as he quickly disintegrates and explodes into data.
Both Dark Magimon and Shintomon looked on with total shocked looks on their faces at what had transpired. The Deva was easily taken out of commission by the mega digimon of friendship.
"Wow! You did it!" exclaimed Takato, "You really did it."
"I knew he would win!" War Growlmon said.
"Typical. I could have done better," replied Rika.
"But too bad, Taomon isn't a mega," said Takato.
"Whatever."
"Great work, Matt," Tai said giving a thumbs up.
"Hmph. Damn that Dark Magimon. He sent us a very boring opponent. I was expecting a little better," the blonde-haired young man said.
Suddenly, forest completely faded away and returned back to the way it was before. The room has now returned and the circle at the center dropped down as if it were an elevator shaft. Now the next level was available. The group ran up to look inside of the circled hole. Smiles had come across their faces.
"Hey, look! The path has been opened up," said War Greymon.
"It turned into something like an elevator shaft," said Kari, "How cool…"
"Like something out of a video game," said War Growlmon.
"Yeah! Isn't like it video game? Right, Rika?" the goggle boy asked.
"Ugh. A very stupid video game," replied Rika.
War Greymon picks up Tai as he jumps right down into the hole. Kari soon followed with Angewomon. Rika reluctantly followed next with Taomon. Takato and War Growlmon went inside next, as did Matt and Metal Garurumon. All that was left was Shintomon was looked down at the hole. Tai comes popping out and waves over towards the Supreme guardian.
"Hey, Shintomon! Lets go!"
Shintomon stands there, staring ahead and completely out of it. He was still in a very shocked state.
"This can't be… I never thought that they would end up being this strong. It's impossible, but true…"
Dark Magimon could only seethe angrily as he watched the group fly down into the next level through his crystal ball.
As soon as the group all landed in the room, Tai looks around the entire second stage room.
"This looks just like the last room," War Greymon said.
Shintomon finally makes it down to the room and meets up with the group once again.
"But won't he be able to change the room once again with his magic?" asked Kari.
Shintomon looks around the room and examines it closely. He realized that it was almost exactly like the last level.
***************************************************************************************
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Dark Magimon watches the group through his crystal ball. He quickly turns around angrily and faces King Devimon.
"Why is there somebody that strong on this digital plane field! I don't think even the Sovereigns were this strong, but this is ridiculous!"
"I don't understand it. There was nobody this strong the last time I checked this digital plane of existence."
"Damn it all!"
"But you don't need to worry, master. There are still more stages. And if the worst happens, I'm always here."
With that said, Dark Magimon was taken by this reassurance as his frown quickly turns into that of a smile. The sorcerer begins laughing to relieve himself of the anger.

Back on Earth, the other Digi-destined that had remained behind were all gathered over at Kari's apartment home. Yolei was sitting down while watching the television and Mimi was calling up Matt's agents to clarify his absence.
"No. We've gone off for vacation! I told you that about an hour ago! No, you can't speak to him! He's too relaxed to do anything now! Grr. Why don't you just get that through your damn thick head?" Mimi shouted at the phone as she quickly hangs it up.
"Got a problem, Mimi?" asked Yolei.
"Those damn agents won't stop bugging us. We don't even have shows to perform at and Matt is doing something that is much more important than performing with his band."
"I know what you mean. All they ever care for is the money that they are making. When are they going to realize that enough is enough?"
"I don't know and I don't care. But if one more agent keeps calling, I'm going to rip their head off!"
With that said, the phone rang once again and Mimi was clearly pissed off beyond belief. This was the twenty-second phone call from another one of those agents. Her face turns completely red as she almost wanted to foam at the mouth. She picks the phone up and then lets the agent know what he thinks of her.
"Listen you damn jerk! This is the last time that I'm going to tell you! Do not call and interrupt our vacation time! You hear me! If I get one more call from you ever again, I will find you and gut you like a damn fish! You hear me!"
But the voice on the phone replied and it wasn't an agent. It was Izzy and he was completely taken back by Mimi's outburst of rage.
"Uhh… Hi… Mimi. I can see that you're having a lovely day…"
"Huh? Izzy? Oh my god! Izzy! I'm so sorry! I didn't know that was you. Please, I'm so sorry!"
"Its alright, Mimi. Anyway, that was some good yelling. Maybe you should try to be lead singer."
"Hmmm, not a bad idea. If only Matt will only me."
"Ok, but that's not what I'm going to tell you. I just discovered who this Shibumi person is. I want you and everybody else to meet me over at my hotel room and I will explain everything. Alright?"
"Will do, Izzy. I'll let the others know right away."
"Its no rush, but I just needed to tell you this. Aw, no!"
"What's the matter?"
"My internet connection is screwing up with the phone line. I better go. I'll see ya'll later."
With that being said, Mimi hangs up the phone and then places her finger on her lips. She was now thinking to herself and looks over to see Hawkmon and Palmon walking out from the back door with a bag of chocolate donuts.
"Hey! Those were our donuts!" exclaimed Mimi, "I was actually going to save that for a snack!"
"Huh? But you never even touched. They've been laying on the table for days and we decided that somebody had to eat them," Palmon said.
"Besides, we need the food to keep our energy in check. Remember, us digimon need the food that we can consume."
"Ok, I guess you do have a point. Yolei!"
"Yeah, Mimi? Was that another agent?"
"Whew. Thank god, it wasn't. It was actually Izzy. He's come to tell us to meet him over at his hotel room a little later today because he has a little more information on this Shibumi person. I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to finding out who this Shibumi is and to see if its just a coincidence that he knows so much about digimon, especially our own."
"Understandable. What time should we go?"
"Well, it hasn't even been lunchtime. I say we go get ourselves something to munch on and we can go directly over to Izzy."
"Ok. Sounds like a plan to me."
Mimi stops and sits down on a stool while looking up at the ceiling. Yolei takes notice of this and walks over to her friend.
"Mimi? What's wrong? You look down."
"Oh, just a little worried for Matt. I hope he and the others are doing well. It has been a day already. I just don't want Matt to get hurt that's all."
"That worry, Mimi. Those boys are tough and they know how to get through the stickiest situations. Besides, that's Tai and Matt we're talking about. They're the two most powerful forces along with Kari. We managed to survive the War Games held by Virus seven years ago."
"That's true. I still can never forget that day when Matt displayed his heroic efforts. I guess that's that drew me over to him a little closer. I'm only twenty-two and we have our own child."
"But get this. Your little boy was a hero in his future time. And he could very well do the same this time around many years from now," Yolei assured her, "Just be proud of the fact that your long-time boyfriend and your son are heroes."
Mimi looks up at the purple-haired girl with a smile on her face and she pulls herself up to her feet.
"Your right. I shouldn't worry. As long as Matt is able to take care of himself, I shouldn't even have to worry."
Mimi goes over and picks up baby Dimitri.
"Hear that angel, you're going to be a big, strong boy when you grow up. Your going to be as strong as your future daddy and you will help protect mommy when she's in trouble. Your such a handsome little boy," Mimi said in a motherly way.
Dimitri responds with a smile and placing his head onto his mother's shoulder.
"Well, I better get Naomi," said Yolei, "Don't worry. I believe that my Ken will do just fine as well. He's got the others to back him up. Just look on the bright side, our soul mates are some of the strongest Destined on two worlds and no sorcerer is going to slow them down!"
"Right. I'm with you, Yolei. But lets hurry up and get something to eat. That way we can beat traffic."
"Right!"
The two young ladies headed out the door with their babies, leaving Palmon and Hawkmon behind to guard the apartment home. They stood there while eating more of the chocolate donuts.
"So, does this mean that we have the whole apartment to ourselves?"
"I guess so, Palmon. You wanna watch some kung fu action that they're showing on the all day-special?"
"Sure. But just as long as we eat, I haven't had a decent meal for days."
"How about some noodle soup?"
"Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of ten foot-long sandwiches with rice balls."
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Joe and Gomamon were seen driving down through the city. Since Joe had a day off, he decided to use this time to take a break from the torturous studying.
"I really could use a break, Gomamon."
"Yeah. If you end up cramming your head more, you'll make Frankenstein look like a genius."
"Ha. I forgot to remind myself when to laugh."
"I wasn't trying to be funny. Well, I sort of was. I'm trying to prove a point. Don't study too hard, Joe."
"You're right. Hey, check that out."
"What?"
Joe parks his car into a nearby parking lot and points out over towards the new Dungeon Dice Monster arena. Gomamon hunched over to look.
"Wow. Talk about a large crowd. I wonder what's going on."
"I have no idea. It looks like some sort of event is taking place… Hey, wasn't that Battle City tournament starting today?"
"I think so. Why don't we listen to it through radio?"
"Alright, let's give it a shot."
Joe turns his radio on and finds a station, which was hosting the Battle City event live. With luck, Joe found an AM station with an announcer hosting the event.
"This event has garnered the largest crowd ever known in Domino City! Kaiba Corporation has been heavily promoting this event for two months and here we are! These crowds have been alive! We've seen many duelists qualify and others get eliminated! The event is said to last for another two days or so. As of now, there are no plans to where the eight finalists will eventually duel. Seto Kaiba will announce the location in due time."
"Wow. Sounds like a pretty exciting time. If only we went to Domino City."
"Oh well. We can just listen to the good old radio."
"Speaking of which, I wonder if the other guys are having an exciting time against those Devas?"
"I wouldn't hold my breath, Joe. Those Devas are jerks. Tai and others will clobber the last of them!"
"I just hope they come home in one piece."
*************************************************************************************
Digital World. Somewhere in parts unknown
Deep within the barren landscape of the Digital World, Calumon found himself all alone after his cage dropped when Makuramon has lost grip on him. The little white digimon hopped across in search of the Tamers and the Destined.
"Culu. I wonder where everybody is? I bet that they're hiding. Well, I'm really in the mood to play games. But, it just doesn't seem fun with just me. I better look for somebody to play with."
Suddenly, Calumon looked up to see a swarm of fairy-like creatures flying around him with smiles on their faces. Calumon was taken by surprise but a smirk comes across his face.
"Hey! Do you guys want to play? I bet you do."
They managed to respond by flying all around Calumon and lined up against one another. They were forming a straight line and flew across the landscape with Calumon following from behind them.
"Hey, you guys are fun after all. I see what you're trying to do. Follow the leader! Yeah! I know every game in the book. Ok, so you want me to follow? Well then, here I go!"
The fairies flew off with Calumon running right after them. But for some reason, the fairies were not speaking like any normal digimon. It was to explain to know whether these fairies were digimon or some sort of other digital life form. But whatever they were, they were quite friendly and were giving Calumon the time of his life.
"Culu! Follow the leader! Yay! This is what I call fun! Maybe I can bring Takato and the others along with me. Or maybe they will find me this way. Lets continue, guys! I'm in the fun kind of mood! Culu!"
Calumon goes marching along as the swarm continued their long distance flight across the barren landscape of the Digital World.
***************************************************************************************
Just completely on the other side where Calumon and the fairies were playing, a light wind blows up dust across Dark Magimon's ship. Dinobeemon and Imperialdramon remained frozen on the top of the mountain.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Back within the ship itself, on the second stage level, Tai takes a single step towards the 'D' lettered door. He looks right over towards War Greymon, who was basically clawing at the air around him.
"I bet you're ready, War Greymon. I can tell that you're practicing. Like you ever need it, your one of the strongest warriors on two worlds."
"Well, Tai, I must always be prepared for the unexpected. Don't forget that."
"I gotcha."
"I wonder who I'm going to fight," War Greymon replied, "I hope its somebody incredibly strong."
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon simply grins while looking over at his crystal ball. King Devimon takes notice of the sorcerer's confident grin and asks him a question.
"Who are you going to use in stage two?"
The evil sorcerer stood there as he was thinking to himself and tapping his feet. His eyes widened as an idea came to his mind.
"Send in, Majiramon."
"The dragon deva? You're going to use Majiramon this early in stage two? Don't you think that's going under extreme measures?"
"We probably shouldn't have underestimated these warrior digimon. They have those humans at their side to help give them energy boosts, which makes them very powerful. After all, Makuramon was defeated without causing any damage to those fighters."
"I see. But if you use Majiramon, they'll all be defeated and there will be nothing left to amuse me."
"We should worry more about waking D-Reaper up from its long sleep, not to have fun."
"Yes, sir. I'm terribly sorry."
Dark Magimon turns around and then points over towards a Skull Meramon guard.
"Majiramon will handle stage two. Tell him immediately," the sorcerer ordered.
"Yes sir," responded Skull Meramon.
The servant goes running out a door and down a hallway. A WaruMonzaemon soon joined him. They soon ran up to a large door with the 'D' lettering on the front.
"Majiramon. Its time!" said Waru Monzaemon.
As soon as he said that, the door began to open and inside was nothing but complete darkness. The sheer look made both servants tremble at their knees. But what made them more frightened was deep growling from within the room. A single slit of crimson-colored eyes glows in the darkness, and animal begins to snarl.
Suddenly, an arm comes shooting out and grabs Waru Monzaemon. The arm keeps going until it runs into the wall, and pulls the virus teddy bear in. His scream rings out from the darkness and a load of data comes shooting out signifying his death. Skull Meramon shrinks back against the wall, with a frightened look on his face. As soon as he turns to face, an arm shoots back out and grabs him. Not even its fiery body was inflicting damage to the monster. He is finally pulled in, as his screams within the darkness were enough to signify his downfall as well. The crunching of bones is heard and the screaming stops. A little light reveals Majiramon as a long-segmented Chinese dragon with two pairs of horns on his head.
"Majiramon!"
The dragon turns around and looks up to hear his master calling out to him. He faces a red light in front of him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, my pet. But it is now your turn. Fight as hard as you want."
"Yes, Dark Magimon. I shall."
The monster slowly lumbers out of the room and makes his way towards stage two. Unlike Dark Magimon's henchmen, this Deva did not have the 'D' on his forehead, but rather on his chest instead.
***************************************************************************************
Back within the stage room, Tai stood there with his hands on his hips while tapping his foot impatiently.
"Hey, aren't you ready yet? Shit! Hurry it up!"
"This is stupid. Why don't we just break down the door and gown down already?" Rika asked angrily.
"What she said," replied Matt.
"You can't! Like I said before, if the sphere receives a strong shock, D-Reaper might be brought back!"
"Hmph! From what I've seen, this D-Reaper probably isn't that big of a deal, just like that King Devimon guy," the blonde-haired young man said.
Shintomon was taken back by his comments on the powerful demon and shocked by Matt's overconfidence.
"What do you mean, King Devimon is not a very big deal?!"
"I'm just saying that King Devimon isn't as bad as you made him out to be," Matt explained, "After looking on how he moved and his attacks, aside from being careful from his stone spray, he didn't look very impressive. Davis and Ken were just being careless at that time, no offense to them. They didn't expect for King Devimon to have that ability, just like we didn't expect it."
The Tamers and Shintomon were taken back at what Matt had just said, but even more stunned was Shintomon. He turns to face Tai.
"Is this true, Taichi?"
"Well, even if that wasn't his full power, he would have been a strong opponent a while ago. About seven years ago, we all fought this powerful artificial named Virus. King Devimon is probably at the same level of strength," War Greymon said.
"Yep. Virus was really considered a threat. But I say that King Devimon is probably at his level."
"Yeah, Angewomon and I became Celesta X and sent that creep packing straight to hell where he belongs. We'll do the same to King Devimon," Kari replied.
Shintomon looks on stunned and couldn't believe at what he was hearing from the bunch. The Tamers were just as stunned, but even less so.
"I can't believe that the fusion warriors are that strong," the Supreme guardian said to himself, "But now that I think about it…"
He then looks right over towards Kari and Angewomon. A thought came to his mind.
"Those were hard to stop when they fused together to become Celesta X. What if that wasn't their full power?"
"Hey, hurry up and do something!" Tai exclaimed, "Its our turn next. War Greymon hates waiting after all."
"I'd rather die of old age then wait," the mega replied.
Finally, after hearing those hollering, the door slowly starts to open up. The entire group looks on to see who would emerge next.
"About time!" said Takato.
"And I was about to have a nice nap," War Growlmon said.
Behind the door, silhouetted by a bright, white light, is an enormous dragon that looked like that it couldn't completely fill up the whole door. Majiramon comes walking out.
"Huh? This is it," Tai asked.
Majiramon reaches out and grabs the doorframe. He pulls himself up and takes a huge step out onto the room.
"What the hell is that thing?" Rika asked.
"Something you wouldn't want to marry," remarked Taomon.
Majiramon snarls and waves his claws around after getting all the way into the room itself.
Dark Magimon looks on through his crystal ball and was waiting for Majiramon to begin the battle on the second stage.
"Majiramon, you can kill them all at once."
He laughs and continues to watch from his crystal ball, hoping to see his monster prevail over the digimon warriors.
Majiramon slowly steps forward, with his sheer size taking both Tai and War Greymon completely by surprise.
"Impossible! Its him!" Shintomon exclaimed nervously.
Tai and War Greymon both smiled at the anticipation of the upcoming battle that was coming along the way. Majiramon simply looks over at them and smoke comes out from his nostrils.
**************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku. Dungeon Duel Monsters Arena
The crowd was rocking during the course of the Battle City tournament. Cody and Armadillomon have yet to be informed by Izzy. So far, they've been enjoying the tournament.
"I can't believe all these rare cards these duelists have. I can't see myself competing with the likes of them."
"Just because you collect the cards doesn't mean that you have to be a duelist. You can just collect them for fun."
"I know, but I just don't want to give any other people the idea that I'm a duelist."
"Just tell them that you personally aren't into dueling. If they force, then I'll in."
"Armadilomon…"
"It's what friends do, Cody. Anyway, those hotdogs are really kicking in right now!"
"Armadillomon! Don't do it here in public!"
Elsewhere within the crowd, a mysterious man with a yellow jacket was keeping an eye out on Cody. He seemed to display some sort of interest in Armadillomon and held a card in his hand. It was an Armadillmon card. He put it into his side pocket and walked out from the arena.
Suddenly, Armadillomon felt a strange vibe and turned to find that the man disappeared.
"What's wrong, Armadillmon?"
"I don't know, but I felt a strange vibe."
"Strange vibe? Where? I have a bad feeling that someone is watching us."
*****************************************************************************
The strange man walks outside and finds several men in suits walking towards him.
"Are you Shibumi? We need you to come with us."
With that said, the mysterious man started running down the street. The suits were gaining on him, until the man took a shortcut into a dark alleyway.
"Shibumi! Wait! We need to speak with you!"
The mysterious man jumps on top of a dumpster and hops over a steel fence. The suits stopped and watched 'Shibumi' disappear into a gray fog.
"What the hell just happened?"
"He disappeared in thin air. We have to contact Yamaki that we've failed to negotiate with Shibumi."
The suits walked out from the alleyway, as their attempt to recruit Shibumi failed. However, this man didn't appear to be human. So, where could the real Shibumi be?
Tentomon watched the entire scene from a light post. He flies off to inform his partner about what he had just seen.
I have a feeling that this Shibumi doesn't want to be found. Izzy will be interested in hearing about this."
*******************************************************************************
Digital World. Location of Dark Magimon's ship
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Just outside of the ship, a light wind blows with clouds drifting in the skies above. The two statues of both Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon appeared to be unharmed. A large loud comes passing overhead and blocks out the spinning, data ball that was floating in the sky.
Not that far away, D-Reaper sits imprisoned at the bottom of Dark Magimon's ship, and several levels above him, Majiramon steps out from the door and goes up to face War Greymon.
Majiramon lets out a roar as he opens and closes his mouth ferociously. He clenches and unclenches his fists tightly while lumbering over towards Tai and War Greymon, but anxious and confident grins come across their faces.
"Whoa…" Tai said.
"My thoughts exactly, Tai," replied War Greymon.
"He's incredible," said Kari.
Matt simply stands there watching, with his arms crossed and sitting right beside Metal Garurumon. Majiramon begins laughing.
"Which one of you should I eat first?" the monster asked in a thundering voice.
"We'll fight you," Tai said.
"I'll be the one that takes you apart," War Greymon replied.
Tai puts his hands on his hips and puts his finger on his head as if he were confused.
"You may look big, but you also look pretty dumb too."
Takato pulls out his D-Ark and an image of Majiramon appears with his statistics.
[Majiramon. Ultimate-level. Deva Type. Special Techniques: Vedaka & Treasure Arrow]
"Hey, you guys! It's another deva. The dragon," said Takato.
"Another Deva, huh? Well this just makes things more interesting," said Tai, "War Greymon if you will?"
"It would be my pleasure."
"Takato is correct. Majiramon is the dragon deva and he is very powerful. I've seen him in battle and he scorches his enemies into nothings," Shintomon explained, "But War Greymon may have the advantage with his armor. But he sure can't fight Majiramon alone."
"Hmph. Pathetic. Another useless Deva," Matt commented.
Dark Magimon looks on through his crystal look and was pulling for his precious Majiramon to come out on top in this next battle.
"Majiramon, take their energy! I want the D-Reaper to be resurrected soon!"
The sorcerer laughs while King Devimon stands there grinning.
Majiramon walks towards War Greymon with his drool pooling onto the ground below his feet. Tai and the others look on with disgust on their faces.
"That's just sick," Tai said, "And I had something to eat before I came here. I really don't want to lose my lunch."
Majiramon laughs, while War Greymon looks on and gets into a quick fighting pose. As soon as the monster licks his lips, Majiramon swipes at him. But War Greymon managed to phase out just in time. War Greymon flies up and disappears into the air. Majiramon follows and throws some punches, but War Greymon manages to dodge each one. War Greymon heads back toward the floor and Majiramon jumps up to spring off of the ceiling. He flies right past War Greymon and they both land. The front of War Greymon's chest plate was cut but wasn't that great of a dent.
"Whoa! That was too close, buddy!" exclaimed Tai.
Majiramon stands there laughing with his huge claws crossing each other like a letter 'D' across his face. Kari looks on while rubbing her chin.
"He's pretty fast for as big as he is," she said.
"Yes but can he match up with War Greymon's strength," pondered Angewomon.
"That's why I warned you," Shintomon said, "Lets gang up on him!"
Kari smiles and then looks over to Shintomon.
"Nah. It's perfectly fine. War Greymon can take care of this guy. He can handle it himself."
"But… That's not po-possible," stuttered Shintomon.
"You fool! You were just lucky, but that won't happen again," Majiramon growled.
"Huh? Those claws are retractable," replied War Greymon.
************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon looks on and realizes that War Greymonw as shocked at the sight of Majiramon. He giggles and speaks up.
"It looks as though our mighty warrior is scared," the sorcerer snickered.
"It looks like this will be an easy victory for Majiramon."
"Scare them some more by finishing this off fast," Dark Magimon instructed.
**************************************************************************************
The evil sorcerer holds his hands out in front of the crystal ball, and the entire Tamer and Destined group in the room with Majiramon hears the next thing he says.
"That's good, Majiramon! That's great!"
"Huh? What's that?" Tai asked.
They all looked up towards the ceiling but they don't see anybody. They could only hear Dark Magimon's voice coming out of nowhere.
"Kill them all, but Shintomon. Take all of their energy! That will most certainly bring back the D-Reaper! In order to make this work faster, I'll take you to your favorite location, the Dark Abyss, in the Realm of Darkness!"
Majiramon grunts happily at this announcement and looks up as if he were waiting in anticipation for his wish to be granted by Dark Magimon.
**************************************************************************************
"Dark Magimon, Majiramon should be strong enough to beat them without going into the Dark Abyss."
"Probably, but if they fight in the ship, they might cause a shock that would bring out D-Reaper only half-formed. I want to resurrect it at its full power."
"I see."
"Well, lets go."
The evil sorcerer turns around and faces the crystal floating in front of him. He throws his hands up and chants his magical spell that he used before to help Makuramon.
"PARAPATA!"
***************************************************************************************
With that said, the room slowly fades away into near complete darkness as the entire Tamer and Destined group look on with surprise. Now it was too dark to even see the walls, and there's a blue light on the group and Majiramon. Lastly, even that light fades away and it's just the group in pitch darkness. War Greymon holds his hands out, feeling as he walks to know where he was going since it was too dark to see. Suddenly, he hits his leg on something and grabs it, hopping up and down on the other.
"Ow, ow, ow!"
The mega kneels down and feels it with his hands. It turned out to be a rock of some sorts.
"Damn. It's just a rock. What a relief."
The group all stood clustered together as they began to observe the battle that was soon going to ensue between War Greymon and Majiramon.
"I can't see anything. This really is the Dark Abyss," said War Greymon, "Too bad."
Majiramon lets out a blood-curling roar and flies back several times before flipping and grabbing hold of an unseen ceiling rock with his feet. He looks down perched as if he were a night bat.
"This is my favorite place, the Realm of Darkness!"
The monster than retracts his claws.
"I can see you perfectly! You're scratching your head!"
Kari was now holding her head and falling onto her knees. Takato took notice of this.
"What's wrong with her?" Rika asked.
"Its the darkness in this room. The presence of it is too strong. Since I bear the powers of light, darkness will attempt to take me over from the inside."
"No, Kari. You can't let it get to you. Don't give into Dark Magimon. You're better than he is."
Suddenly, Kari's eyes opened up and her pupils were much similar to the one's Ken used to have when he was the Digimon Kaiser many years ago.
"Please, Kari. Do not give into the darkness," War Growlmon said, "You were nice to me and Takato. It was you that helped Takato overcome his fears and enable me to digivolve both times. We wouldn't be where we were if it weren't for you."
Rika could only stand there and look on as if she were restraining herself from touching the darkness itself. She also wasn't pure of heart since she attempted to have Renamon kill Guilmon just to load his data.
"He's right!" the girl shouted.
Takato, Taomon and War Growlmon all looked over towards the red-haired girl. She looked over to them with a serious look.
"You can't let darkness overcome you, Kari. You want to know why I say this? Because darkness could have taken me over from within after the treatment I had given to digimon. I always saw them as just 'another opponent'. I never realized that I hurt living creatures and it was you that told me to stop my digimon-killing ways. I was too stubborn to realize it, but I have now come to the realization. Kari! You can ward off this evil power. You even defeated darkness itself seven years ago. Now its time to do it again."
With that said, Kari looks out and her eyes returned to normal. She managed to pull through and bring herself back into reality.
"Wow, Rika. I never thought you had that in you," the goggle boy said.
"Yeah, nice thinking, Rika," replied War Growlmon.
"Well, don't push your luck, goggle head. I was doing it to help her. Besides, we really have to concentrate on that battle that's about to take place. Place your bets. War Greymon or Majiramon."
"I've already placed my bets," War Growlmon said, "How about you, Takatomon?"
"Ditto here."
Kari gets up and holds her head while observing the battle that was going to soon take place.
"Be careful, Tai. Keep your heart pure, big brother. The last thing we need is somebody getting infected by the powers of darkness."
War Greymon looks up towards the black room and is unable to find Majiramon hiding behind the cloak of darkness.
"This is where Majiramon's data was created," said Shintomon, "Its at the edge of the Realm of Darkness. This is sort of like the entranceway to it. That's why it's so dark."
"Eh?"
"Is that so? Well War Greymon has a few tricks up his sleeve," said Tai, "War Greymon, if you will."
"You're mine, insect!"
[Drowning Pool "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" plays]
Majiramon quickly phases out and lunges right for War Greymon with a hungry look on his face.
"I'll start with you!"
Just as Majiramon was drawing near the mega, War Greymon jumps right out of the way and Majiramon watches as War Greymon goes flying up. War Greymon goes down and kicks Majiramon right in the face. Majiramon goes flying down but manages to soar above and managed to catch himself in time. The dragon deva begins looking around.
"Where is he?!"
Majiramon turns around to see the whole group, with the exception of War Greymon. Suddenly, War Greymon appears right behind him.
"Over here, stinky!"
Majiramon turns around to face his adversary, as War Greymon delivers an overhead smash over Majiramon's cranium. This sends Majiramon sailing down onto the rocky ground below. Quickly recovering, Majiramon begins flying up and ends up coming at War Greymon with his claws outstretched. At the very last second, War Greymon ducks, jumps up and delivers a kick to Majiramon's face.
Shintomon gasps at what he was looking at, while turning away from the fight to ask both Kari and Matt questions needed to be answered.
"Do you know what's going?"
"Pretty much. War Greymon is winning," said Metal Garurumon.
Majiramon flies right into a nearby rock structure and it quickly crumbles down to the ground. Majiramon gets to his feet as War Greymon lands down onto the ground. Angewomon watched on with approval.
Majiramon grunts as he reaches out to grab a hold onto something nearby. He slowly pulls himself up and shakes the cobwebs out.
"Can you see me?!"
"You really underestimated us, Deva. Even if it is dark, we can easily determine your movements with little air currents and such."
Majiramon's widen just for a bit and then he starts to back away from War Greymon.
"Plus if we wanted, there are also other ways we can see you. Like this! War Greymon! Fusion time!"
"Lets do this!"
War Greymon clenches his fists and he lets out a cry, just as Tai was doing as well. An aura of orange light glows around their bodies. Both of then transformed into two energy beams. They collided with another as they combined their powers together.
[SSJ English background theme plays]
"War Greymon! Fusion Shinka!"
As the beam of light faded away, there stood a familiar figure that Kari and Matt recognized so easily. Omega X was now in their place.
"Omega X!"
As soon as he turned fusion warrior, his very own light quickly lighted up the whole room. The Tamers and Shintomon were completely caught off by surprise.
"No way! That's Omega X?! This is the first time I get to see him! Wow, Tai is so awesome,"Takato thought.
"I could use him as my flashlight,"War Growlmon said under his breathe.
"I'm speechless. What a tremendous power!" Rika said to herself.
"We now know for sure who is going to come out on top,"Taomon said.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was completely taken off guard at the sight of Omega X and his blinding aura of light. His eyes almost wanted to bulge out due to shock.
"What… What in the hell is that?" asked Dark Magimon, "They merged and now they've broken the darkness with that blinding flash of light!"
"Big deal, he's just emitting light," said King Devimon.
Dark Magimon turns around and points over towards a Gazimon slave.
"You! Run back and get me my energy measurement device!"
"Yes sir!"
Omega X stands off against the dragon deva with a huge grin across his face. Majiramon looked completely stunned at what he was seeing. Kari smiles.
"It's gotten bright, Tai," Kari said.
"Now you should know that it was useless to make it dark in the first place," replied Omega X.
Suddenly, a grin comes across the face of Majiramon and Omega X looks on to begin to think why his adversary was smiling.
"I see the Dark Abyss didn't work to my favor."
"Huh? Why isn't he surprised?"
Gazimon came running back to Dark Magimon with the energy measurement device and hands it over to him.
"Here you go, Dark Magimon!"
The sorcerer points the device over at his crystal ball, currently being focused upon only Omega X, and looks right down the dial.
"Huh?! Three thousand Kili! Why… Why does such a simple warrior have an energy of three-thousand Kili?!"
"Three-thousand kili… With that much energy, he would destroy a planet or maybe even several dimensions. That's unbelievable! There shouldn't be a race of beings that strong in neither digital worlds."
"I wonder if the device is broken or something? But if he really does have three thousand kili, Majiramon won't be able to defeat him. Majiramon's energy is only at eight hundred kili!"
**************************************************************************************
Back within the darkened room, Omega X stands while being bathed in the area of orange light. Majiramon begins to laugh.
"I'm going to win this battle," the dragon deva said.
Omega X stares over at the Deva with a self-confident grin. Majiramon suddenly opens his mouth wide open, roaring. Omega X is taken by surprise and watches as the monster inhales the light, and the high wind even manages to pull Omega X forward a little. Shintomon watches in shock. As far as Kari is concerned, it was more surprise than shock.
"What the hell is going on?!" Omega X exclaimed.
Majiramon continues to hungry feast while swallowing up more of Omega X's light. Matt and Metal Garurumon both watch quietly, unalarmed for some apparent reason. The back of Majiramon began glowing on and off, as if it were several flickering lights. Omega X's feet are being dragged forward, just an inch or two at a time, but still dragging forward. Finally, Omega X's light fades away but manages to remain in fusion form. All of the light all went straight into Majiramon's throat and he swallows it in one giant gulp.
"Aw crap! We lost our luster," Omega X complained.
"He swallowed the light," said Takato, "That's not good."
"Its not over yet," Taomon said, "He just merely swallowed his light source. Omega X's true power is still intact and he would have de-evolved if he had lost all of his energy."
"She does have a point," Rika replied.
"So he's still in the game," stated War Growlmon.
"Exactly right," Matt said, "Its not over. Omega X is still at full power."
Majiramon stood around holding his stomach as he belches hungrily.
"That was delicious. I've never eaten light that full of volume and taste before," said Majiramon.
"Eaten?"
"That's right. This Deva eats light energy. Omega X's light was the perfect food for Majiramon!" explained Shintomon.
"You hear that, Tai? Don't turn on the light! He's just going to eat it again!" exclaimed Kari.
Omega X quickly looks over his shoulder and peers right over towards Majiramon. The dragon deva starts laughing once again.
"That's right. That was superb energy! If you could, I'd like you to do that again!" exclaimed Majiramon.
"Eh?"
Majiramon begin flying over Omega X and finally landing a few feet away from his adversary. The monster belches again. Omega X suddenly gets an idea. He smiles and holds out his fists.
"Alright then, ugly! Bon appetite!"
"What's that?!"
"It's French for saying 'supper time'!"
"What the hell is he actually thinking," Matt asked.
"I'll fight with you, big brother! Together, we should be able to beat him without using fusion forms," Kari assured him.
"No thanks. I'll fight him by myself," Omega X replied, "I appreciate the help though."
Omega X holds up his fists to about his chest and quickly emits light once again, which catches Majiramon's attention once again.
"I'm so happy that you're an idiot! I'll be able to feast once again!" exclaimed Majiramon.
"He really is foolish," said Shintomon, "What does he have to prove by fighting him alone like that?"
"This isn't a game," Rika said.
Matt walks over and replies to they're pleads without even looking at them.
"Shut up and let him handle this. He's got a plan. He isn't a fool."
Majiramon quickly opens his mouth once again with a roar. He was now ready to once again absorb Omega X's light. Omega X gasps and struggles against it.
"Damn! Our light is being sucked up! We can't lose!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon and King Devimon could only look on with disappointment at what Majiramon is doing at the very moment. Dark Magimon was now losing his composure.
"What are you doing, Majiramon?! If you suck out his energy, it can't be used for D-Reaper! What a waste! If you don't hurt so that we can take his energy, how is D-Reaper supposed to absorb it?"
***************************************************************************************
Rocks started to slide across the ground towards Majiramon, but Omega X struggles against it and remain in place. Majiramon continues inhaling his light and anything that comes with it, but Omega X pulls back. The Deva's belly begins to grow, and his back glows orange on and off again. Omega X grins.
Matt watches on in total silence. Suddenly, Omega X screams and quickly raises his ki, all the way into his next ascension. Now this was more than enough than Majiramon can chew as a huge burst of light flies right at Majiramon. He swallows it before he even knows what he's doing and explodes into data. Omega X lets the data freely pass by and doesn't absorb it.
"Incredible! He did it!" Shintomon exclaimed.
"I knew he could do it," said Takato.
"So, looks like we won the bet," War Growlmon replied.
"We all won the bet, Guilmon," replied Kari, "Way to go, big brother!"
Matt simply watches on without any emotion on his face.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon drops the power meter on the ground and could only look on with a shocked expression on his face.
"What?! No… This is impossible…"
"How could he do that?" pondered King Devimon, "That's just not natural."
***************************************************************************************
Omega X simply sighs and lands right back down onto the floor. The other went over to meet with him and congratulate him on a job well done. Just then, the circle on the floor that leads to the next level appears next to him. It suddenly opens up.
"It opened! Come on guys! Lets go," Omega X said, "Lets go down to the next level."
"Right!"
Omega X and Metal Garurumon walk towards the opening while Shintomon watches in complete surprise.
"Shintomon! Hurry up! We're heading to the next level," said Takato.
"Yeah. We don't want to be waiting for you all day," replied Rika.
The entire Tamer and Destined group go descending down into the next level. Shintmon shrugs and goes following right after them.
***************************************************************************************
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Dark Magimon watches in his crystal ball with a look of disbelief on his face. He literally wanted to cry at what he was seeing.
"No! Why did Majiramon go boom?! Why did my precious Majiramon go boom?!"
"It looks as though the fool fell for the enemy's plan. He ate too much light and passed his limits. As a result of his greed, he suffered the ultimate consequence," stated King Devimon.
"You're wrong! Right before Majiramon died, he started to expand!"
*************************************************************************************
Back within the next level room, Omega X looks over to see Kari giving him thumbs up to his approval.
"You were great, Tai. You had a huge ki when you beat that monster."
Omega X smiles and looks right back at the brown-haired girl.
"Maybe. Thanks."
"Well, it looks as though that Tai and Agumon overcame that barrier, too. It's the barrier of the fusion warrior. They must have been training for that with the four Digital Guardians all those past seven years. Interesting…"Matt thought.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was now seething with anger and clenches his fists as if he were about to murder somebody.
"They aren't what I thought they were!"
"Its fine," replied King Devimon, "I understand. You can stop your worrying now, my lord."
The evil sorcerer looks right back at the demon.
"Hmm?"
King Devimon looks over at him with an evil smirk on his face.
"I will finish them off. I'll go to stage three myself, and soon enough, D-Reaper's sphere will be full of energy."
"But, King Devimon, if they manage to beat you, its the end of my plan. You have a plan, don't you?"
"A plan? I'm the king of the Devimons and a lord of darkness. I am King Devimon! I don't care if he has three thousand kili of energy or four thousand kili of energy, there's no way they can stand up to me."
**************************************************************************************
Omega X glares right over towards the door with a smirk on his face.
"I wonder what's going to come out this time," Omega X said as he turns around, "Its your turn, Kari. Time to show them what you're made of."
Angewomon hits her fists together and looks down over at Kari, who had the same confident grin as her brother.
"Right! It's about time too. Celesta X is coming back to action!"
Matt just stands there as always with Metal Garurumon at his side. The Tamers were sitting down as both Taomon and War Growlmon reverted back into their rookie forms.
"Whew. I kind of wasted my energy there. I need to let my body rest," Guilmon said.
"Ok. Since we aren't fighting anytime soon," Takato said.
"Rika? Who do you think will come out of the door?"
"I don't know Renamon, but I have a feeling something much more deadly than the last two Devas."
Shintomon looks on over at the Destined in total shock over what has transpired through the two past level battles. Metal Garurumon easily beats first Makuramon and Omega X has destroyed Majiramon.
King Devimon begins to walk away with a grin. While his wings flutter open behind him while Dark Magimon stands around to watch him. King Devimon looks over at a door reading 'D' and was soon about to enter it to begin his meditation, in order to gain his full potential power.
Kari begins doing leg stretches while Angewomon stretches her arms.
"Alright, guys. I'll try my best."
Majiramon has now been eliminated! It's now down to Kari and Angewomon. But don't they realize that the person that they must fight in stage three is none other than King Devimon himself. Can Kari and Angewomon be prepared for the king of all Devimons? You will find out on the next D-Tamers!

Impmon: Who are you? Are you saying that you'll give me the power to digivolve?
Chatsuramon: Yes. You shall be granted the power to digivolve, but you must use it to kill those humans.
Impmon: So, that's all I have to do? That's the only way to gain the ability to digivolve? I'll do it!
Chatsuramon: Then, surrender you're soul!
Voice: Ahhh, this is so much better. Now it's payback time, weaklings.
Dark Magimon: Once King Devimon leaves his meditation chamber, he'll single-handedly destroy those meddling humans! The time is near for the D-reaper's revival!

Impmon's New Evolution: Beelzebumon Arrives! The Legendary Tamer, Ryo Akiyama?
Digital World. Dark Magimon's ship
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
The group was standing around in the third level around and looked over towards the door. Omega X goes peering through it.
"I wonder what's next?" Omega X said.
He then looks right over towards Kari with an assuring look on his face.
"Well, Kari. It looks like it's your turn to show Shintomon what Celesta X is truly all about."
Smiles form across the faces both Kari and Angewomon. Shintomon is taken appalled by Tai's actions.
"Taichi! This isn't a game," said Shintomon, "These are the strongest villains that Dark Magimon has gathered from across the two Digital Worlds. You've been able to win alone up to now. But now we're going to have to fight all together at once."
A smile forms across the face of Omega X.
"Don't worry, Shintomon. Isn't that unfair?"
Shintomon is taken back by this comment that Omega X had just said.
"What?! Unfair?!"
"Yeah. Metal Garurumon and I got to fight on our own. I think that Kari should have the chance too. Then after her will be Takato and then Rika."
"That's right! We can handle this," Kari said with an assuring look on her face.
"Same goes for here too," replied Takato, "Isn't that right, Rika?"
"You sure count me in. Renamon doesn't need anyone's help to beating these wacko Devas."
"Did she just say wacko?" asked Guilmon.
"No she said 'wack-o'," Renamon said with sarcasm.
"Oh. Ok then."
"Dino boy sure still hasn't gotten it," Rika said to herself.
Shintomon doesn't respond but simply looks over at the entire group with a confused look on his face. He was taken appalled by what they had just said.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon glares right over at his crystal ball while observing the Tamer and Destined group. He turns around and smiles right up at King Devimon.
"Alright! Go, King Devimon."
The demon chuckles and then replies, "I promise to kill them with my bare hands."
He clenches his fists and then goes walking away towards a door, in the opposite direction of the room. The Gazimon slave standing next to the door yells at him.
"Hey, where are you going, King Devimon? The entrance to the third stage is over in the other direction."
"Its fine," Dark Magimon reassured him.
King Devimon's shadow falls over the other door.
"That's the meditation room," said the slave.
The demon puts his hands palm to palm, but spaced them apart and was lying horizontally. He quickly pulls them to the other side and the door opens as if it were magic.
"I see! King Devimon is going to increase his strength and power before the battle."
King Devimon takes a step into the meditation room and disappears into the darkness as the door shuts behind him.
"Don't open the door until King Devimon comes out," Dark Magimon ordered.
"Yes sir!"
"It looks like he's going to be serious about this now. He'll easily defeat those three if he gets serious," the sorcerer chuckled.
***************************************************************************************
The group was now getting restless and antsy over all of the waiting. Fifteen minutes had already passed by. The Tamers were about to fall asleep. Omega X was standing around and Kari was pacing back and forth.
"He's late. Where is he?" pondered Kari.
"Don't worry, Kari," Omega X stated, "I'm sure he's preparing an incredibly strong warrior right about now."
The brown-haired girl and Angewomon look back over towards the door, while Omega X looks up at the ceiling.
"Hmm, I wonder how everyone else is doing with Buddamon right about now," Takato said, "I hope they found Calumon right about now."
"I bet they got lost because they couldn't stand Kazu and Kenta's complaining," said Rika, "I can just see it now. I don't see why we had to bring them."
"So that they could find their partner digimon," Guilmon replied.
"Hmph. I wonder what two digimon those two knuckleheads will end up with?" Renamon stated.
"Bah! I'd rather be hosting more shows and challenging Tai than wasting my time here with these weakling Devas," Matt remarked.
"I was really looking forward to fighting that King Devimon guy myself," said Angewomon.
Shintomon simply looks over at the entire Digi-Destined group with an awe look on his face. His face was so full of surprise and confusion over what he was hearing from the Digi-Destined's conversation.
"Yeah, so was I. I wanted to tear one into that bastard," said Omega X.
"I just hope everyone is doing ok with Buddamon right about now. Especially TK," Kari said.
"These Digi-Destined love to fight, especially the ones who bear the powers of Courage and Friendship. It would be pointless to even doubt their power now. They have managed to far surpass my own power,"Shintomon said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere on the Northern region
[Final Fantasy VII "Main theme" plays in background]
Buddamon was leading his group after a long walk through the barren landscape. Kazu and Kenta were basically complaining throughout the whole walk, which only infuriated everyone else.
"Are we there yet?" asked Kazu.
"Not yet. Wait, I do see a village," Buddamon said.
"A village?! Then there must be plenty of food and water there! We could use some rest anyway," said Kenta.
"You boys aren't going anywhere. We're all on this together. There's no 'I' in team," said Sonja.
"Gee, where did I hear that from," Patamon said.
"What are we doing sitting around like a bunch of nap sacks! Lets go and see if any villagers will help us out," said Terriermon.
"I agree. Lets make our move. And we better hurry. No telling what kind of dangers lurk around here," Buddamon replied.
As soon as the group walked over to the village, they could see nothing more than several half-dome houses with mud and trash built houses.
"Hello! Is anybody here?" Jeri gave a loud shout that startled the whole group.
Henry looks down and notices a motorcycle track on the ground, which gave me a little more curiosity. Just then, TK and Patamon began to hear the sound of a motorcycle in the far off distance. Then a motorcycle appears out of nowhere and charges towards the group. They all jumped away.
Patamon, Sonja, Leomon and Terriermon quickly get into fighting stances while the others looked on. They faced towards the motorcycle and noticed that nobody was even riding on it. It looked as though a ghost had been riding it, thus giving its nick name 'ghost rider'. The motorcycle goes charging right towards them once again. The fighters went to attack.
"Boom Bubble!"
"Terrier Tornado!"
"Fist of the Beast King!"
Sonja simply throws a ki-blast over at the metal contraction. But the motorcycle managed to phase away from each blast being fired towards it. This caught everyone by complete surprise. The motorcycle was now targeting for Patamon.
"Patamon! Hang on!"
Patamon goes flying up towards TK as the blonde-haired young man caught him. He goes running away from the motorcycle but then pulls out his D-3, as if he were ready to perform the fusion with patamon right away, but the motorcycle turned into another direction.
TK noticed that the motorcycle was heading right towards a small chocolate-covered Frigimon.
"Hey! Look out!" exclaimed TK.
But as soon as he said that, the motorcycle goes charging after the chocolate Frigimon, which was now making a get away escape. TK and Henry went over to save the digimon. But Leomon managed to jump out of nowhere and pushes the digimon away from the motorcycle's head-on collision. The metal contraction managed to find another chocolate Frigimon and runs it down through the house. As a result, the digimon was quickly deleted and the motorcycle strolls off out of the village and out of sight.
"Whew! That was sure close," said Henry.
"Poor digimon didn't deserve that," replied TK.
Just then, several doors from each of the houses were now beginning to open up. A gang of chocolate Frigimon was all swarming around and they crowded around the group. But they didn't seem to want to fight, since they looked friendly enough.
"You guys wanna tango?" Sonja asked, "Well get ready for a beat down!"
"Sonja. Please. They aren't even attacking. Lets just keep our cool," Henry said.
"Whatever…"
"I wonder who these digimon are?" said Kazu.
Jeri pulls out her D-Ark and then gets a hologram image of the 'chocolate' Frigimon.
[Chuchidarumon. Champion-Level. Mutant type. Special Attack: Mud ball and a tendency to stare?!]
"Oh these are Chuchidarumon. They look friendly enough," Jeri said.
"Plus they look like chocolate-covered gingerbread men. I'm so hungry!" exclaimed Kazu.
"What he said!" Kenta stated.
"Will you two just put a cork in it?" Leomon snarled.
Suddenly, an elder Chuchidraumon comes walking up towards the group and then extends his out in friendship towards Buddamon. Buddamon gladly accepts and shakes the elder's hand.
"Greetings and salutations. Welcome to our village home," said the elder.
***************************************************************************************
Later that day, the elder had invited the group all into his home and pointed out towards a table plate full of what looked like 'chocolate stones'. Kazu and Kenta looked over at the table with starry eyes and drooling mouths.
"Oh, its like a dream come true," said Kazu.
"We're not dreaming. This is the real deal, dude," Kenta replied.
"Yes, please. This is a reward for helping saving one of our people. Eat as much as you like," the elder stated.
"Sweet! Coming through guys," Kazu said.
The young boy pushes everyone through and grabs himself a handful of chocolates and stuffs them in his mouth. Kenta goes and digs in as well. Jeri looks up to Leomon and points over to the table full of the chocolate. Leomon shook his head and Jeri goes over towards the table to join in with Kazu and Kenta.
"Man! This is some good stuff! I've haven't had a single sweet for ages," said Kazu.
"And who said that sweets were bad for you," Kenta replied.
"Mmmm. Delicious," Jeri said while munching down on some chocolates.
"Patamon, aren't you going to get some? You're usually one of the first to get to the dinner table," TK asked his digimon partner.
"Nah. I'll pass for now. I think those chocolates will be all gone since Kazu and Kenta are eating them."
"I'm with you on that one, Patay. When it comes to food, those two will not hesitate. And I thought I was the pig around here," Terriermon said, "They really need to momentai when it comes to eating. They're making us digimon look bad."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
[Final Fantasy VII "Aerith's theme" plays]
Impmon had found himself walking through an empty-spaced territory. Everything was unknown to him and he wondered if he was even in the Digital World.
"This sure doesn't look like home. I don't remember all of this thick fog and clouds. What if I am really dead? This couldn't be heaven or hell. Or is it the world in between those two worlds?"
Just then, the rookie felt his body start to shiver from the cold mist and he felt a presence nearby. It was a very powerful presence. He looked across his surroundings and noticed that the unknown territory was slowly turning into that of a red, crimson color.
"Hello?! Who is that?! I can sense you! There's no point in hiding! Reveal yourself to me," the little virus shouted.
Suddenly, two glowing red eyes were now becoming visible through the mist that was ahead of Impmon. He goes running over to investigate the one looking over at him.
"Ok, who are you and what do you want from me?!"
As soon as Impmon stopped, he stood face to face with what looked like a dog-like digimon, standing around as if it were a statue. Impmon looks over at it with a confused look on his face.
"Hey! You got a staring problem or what?!"
"Are you the one called Impmon?" the dog asked with a demonic tone in his voice.
"Why do you care if I'm Impmon?! Who are you?"
"I was the one who called you from that digital port back in the human realm. You crave for power don't you?"
"Yeah and I crave for cheeseburgers, too. How about fries with that? And maybe some skittles and bubblegum? Oh wait I've already ran out of bubblegum. So, who are you?"
"I am Chatsuramon. Unlike the other Devas, I was free from Dark Magimon's spell and serve the Sovereign himself."
"And that is suppose to impress me? Cause in reality, its not helping me a damn bit."
"Impmon, I was sent by the Sovereign to help grant you the power of evolution. Evolution is the one hope that you have been craving for. And we shall give it to you… But you must prove yourself worthy enough to us…"
Impmon looks right up at the red-eyed Chatsuramon and was relieved that he didn't bear the 'D' symbol on his forward. The little rookie stood there with a look of interest and started his compromise with the dog deva.
**************************************************************************************
Back over at the Chuchidarumon village, Jeri was already falling asleep on a hammock. Kazu and Kenta were asleep else where in the small elder's home. Patamon was playing with the small Chuchidarumon. Sonja stood outside while guarding the small Chuchidarumon and was on the lookout for the motorcycle.
TK, Henry and Leomon were inside as they having a conversation with the Chuchidarumon elder.
"Just what was that motorcycle doing attacking your village?" asked TK.
"I really have no idea, nor do my villagers for that matter. But it was said that it came here one day and started attacking the village for unknown reasons. We call this metal contraction the 'Metal Beast'. It craves nothing more than to harm my villagers."
"Well, can't you just stop it?" asked Leomon.
"There is nothing we can do against it. We are most certainly powerless to combat against it."
"That maybe so, but let me ask you a question. Have you been in any contact with a group of digimon known as the Devas? They are a group that were enslaved by Dark Magimon as they had their free will taken away," the brave-hearted warrior managed to ask.
"Devas? Dark Magimon? I'm terribly sorry, but I have no idea on who these Devas are, nor do I have any idea about this Dark Magimon. But even if these beings were planning on taking over the Digital World, none would have cared for us. The village we live in is nothing more than the Forgotten Village of Lost Data. As far as this 'Metal Beast' is concerned, I know nothing more but the fact that my kind have been hiding in the village in order to avoid being killed by it."
"Oh! Don't sweat it! We can just take care of the rust bucket by blowing it up into smithereens," remarked Terriermon.
Henry was appalled by Terriermon's remarks and gives him a stern look.
"Terriermon, don't start…"
"What? C'mon, I was just trying to help them out."
"Since all digimon can not digivolve naturally, they have to hide in order to ensure our survival because no one was strong enough to stop this metal contraction."
"Oh yeah! Once I digivolve, then I'm going to give that motorbike a little-"
But the floppy-eared bunny dog was quickly cut off by Henry's outburst.
"Terriermon!"
The bunny dog began to pull on his face, as a form of self-punishment, which would let Henry know that he would 'shut up and not make a wise crack'.
"Well, why don't you just have all of the Chuchidarumon villagers stand up for themselves against this 'Metal Beast'?" asked TK, "You can't just let that thing scare you for the rest of your lives!"
TK felt a hand being placed on his shoulder and he turns around to face Henry.
"I think we better think this over first, TK."
"Right."
As soon as the two walked outside, they were now about to start their private conversation.
"I think that we should not force all of this upon that elder. There's nothing more that he and the villagers can do. We really should butt out of this situation and let them handle it themselves. We should concentrate more on finding Calumon," said Henry.
"You maybe right. But, I we just can't leave these poor Chuchidarumon behind and let the motorcycle run them all down. I mean look at how innocent that are."
TK points over towards Patamon, who was playing with the small baby Chuchidarumon.
"Are you just going to say that we should leave those poor digimon to get run down? I don't happen to agree on this situation, Henry. And I for one know better."
"Well. I really wouldn't usually say this, Henry. But I'm going to have to agree with TK," Terriermon said.
***************************************************************************************
Chatsuramon began to explain his purpose on meeting Impmon in this empty-spaced unknown territory.
"As I said before, I am a Deva, but I serve only for the Digimon Sovereign himself. Everyone except Antiramon and myself are the only ones left. All the other Devas were brainwashed and turned into Dark Magimon's slaves. I came here to meet you and tell you of your destiny. You crave for digivolution and I can give it to you."
"Is that so? You expect me that believe that? Lets see some proof."
"But I can tell that you were dependant on humans alone."
"What?! How dare you say that to me! That's like an insult and a huge slap in the face! I detest humans as much as you do!"
"Is that right?"
With that said, Chatsuramon goes jumping up and shoots out an energy beam over at Impmon. This quickly blinded the rookie and he manages to cover his eyes frantically.
As soon as the blur disappeared from his sight, he found himself in front of a large home. But he found it very familiar and he started to walk over towards it with a smile on his face.
"I'm home? I'm home! I'm home! I'm back!"
Impmon goes running out towards the backyard and his eyes widened in shock as he saw his partners, Ai and Mako. He then calls out to them.
"Ai! Mako!"
The two children gasped in surprise as they turned to face Impmon. A smile comes across his face as he goes running up towards them, then they were running up towards their digimon. But just as he was able to wrap his arms around them, he went right through them. Impmon fell face first and looks on to see his former partners petting their new dog that their dad had brought home.
"Ai? Mako? You didn't even hug me? Why can't they see me?! Stop messing with my head! Stop it!"
The image quickly disappears and everything turns back into the unknown territory. Impmon was once again face to face with Chatsuramon. He looks right up at the dog deva with an assured look on his face.
"You do not need the use of humans because they don't need you! They've rejected you! We digimon will gladly accept you back, since we would never reject you. Unlike humans, we respect each other."
"Yes…"
"So, are you ready for the power?"
"The power?"
"Of digivolution… It's a gift from the Digimon Sovereign, for showing your disgust of humans. You are worthy enough…"
Impmon looks down on the ground and begins to think about all of his past histories and everything that had occurred in his sad, little life. He looks down as if he were in a very deep trance of some sorts.
**************************************************************************************
Suddenly, the motorcycle had returned back after flying out of a crack within the ground. It goes strolling through and heads over towards the Chuchidarumon village with evil intentions.
Jeri quickly awoke from the screams of the Chuchidarumon outside and jumps out from the hammock. Patamon went over to help each child Chuchidarumon back into its rooms. Sonja cleared the way and looked over to see the motorcycle returning back.
Henry quickly pulls out a card and slashes it through his D-Ark.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
Gargomon goes charging right over towards the motorcycle and let's loose a barrage of his 'Gargo Lasers', but they proved ineffective against the motorcycle. Leomon wrenches back and attempt for his 'Fist of the Beast King' technique and as soon as it shot out, the blast only managed to slow it down. Not even a single scratch on it. As it charged towards the group of Chuchidarumon, Patamon took notice of this and flies right over to them. TK's D-3 began to glow.
[Evolution theme "Braveheart" plays]
Patamon felt his ki increase as TK's D-3 gave him the power to digivolve into his champion-level form.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
The angel warrior goes flying over the motorcycle and wrenches his fist back. A bright aura glow formed across his body as he chanted his powerful attack.
"Hand of Fate!"
[Disturbed "Stupify" plays]
The holy blast goes shooting out with a powerful force and manages to slow down the motorcycle, which allowed the Chuchidarumon group to make an escape getaway. Angemon goes flying right towards the motorcycle and uses his staff to stop at its place, but the bike was using some strength of its own to break free. The holy warrior was taken by surprise at the fact that a mere motorcycle was having a stalemate with a digimon such as Angemon.
"Slown him down, Angemon! Don't let him near the village!"
"If I can just hold him off longer! It's surprising that this thing is powerful! I don't think I can hold him out much longer! Wait a second!"
Angemon peered down over at the motorcycle and then notices a small, robotic digimon riding on top of it. With one good swing, Angemon jumps away and uses his staff to knock the robotic creature off of the bike. Angemon goes flipping backwards and cups his hands together.
"Holy Beam!"
The angelic warrior thrusts his cupped hands forwards and uses its excessive force to push away the powerful metal contraction away and sends it flying back over towards a nearby cracked hole in the ground.
"Alright! Way to go, Angemon!"
"Nice shooting!" Gargomon complmented.
"That thing was much stronger than it looks. This Digital World is too illogical," Leomon said.
"Well, whatever it is, it's gone," replied Sonja.
Jeri walks over and picks the small digimon that was riding on the motorcycle. She pulls out her D-Ark and begins to analyze it.
[Metal Koromon. In-training level]
"Hey guys! This was the digimon that was riding on that bike," Jeri called out.
"So are we out of danger?" asked Kazu.
"I thought you two were already dead asleep," said Henry.
"You thought wrong," replied Kenta, "Yeah, looks like we are out of danger."
"For now at least," TK assured them.
"Thank you all for saving me," Metal Koromon said, "I'm glad that you managed to gotten rid of that horrible machine."
"Why is that?" asked Angemon.
"Anybody that takes possession and rides on it immediately turns evil. And I was its victim. I was the one who ran down those poor Chuchidarumon. I am so sorry. I couldn't control myself because of that demonic device."
"Well, your safe and the village should be ok," TK assured the little digimon, "It wasn't you fault anyways. Don't worry about it. All is forgiven."
"No wonder why TK had the crest of hope. I really didn't believe him when I first met him, but he sure has proven that to me. He always seems to have hope, no matter how great the threat is and today is no different," Henry said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Impmon and Chatsuramon were having a staredown, with the Deva giving Impmon the silence treatment. But the rookie spoke up and broke the silence.
"So that's all? Just give myself up to the Sovereign, just for the power of digivolution? Just to get back at the humans?"
The Deva replies with an evil smirk across his face. Impmon could easily tell that he was speaking the truth and was standing there while thinking over the whole situation.
"This is my chance to gain evolution! I have been craving for it this whole time. I should not blow this opportunity. This is it! But on the other hand, why would the Sovereign ever bother to care to digivolve me and do his dirty work?"
"The reason I say this is the fact that our Devas were wrongfully murdered at the hands of the Tamers, despite being brain-washed by Dark Magimon. He too is responsible for everything. They all must pay for what they have done to damage our reputation. Now my fellow Deva's data are rotting in 'Digital Limbo' as we speak. The Devas should have been highly respected. Once you are given this evolution, you are to kill the digimon partnered with these humans. You shouldn't even reject this opportunity, since this is something you have craved for this whole time."
Impmon stands there while clenching his fists. A bright purple aura forms around him and the ground around his feet were starting to crack. He quickly made up his mind and pointed out to Chatsuramon.
"Alright! I'll sell my soul and do whatever the hell your Sovereign wants!"
"Then relinquish your soul!"
With that said, Chatsuramon shoots down a beam and a hole was starting to form at Impmon's feet. The rookie cried out as he fell into a deep pit and splashed through what seemed to be hot lava. Suddenly, a silhouette of the Digimon Sovereign was shown. Now he was ready to perform his magic and grant Impmon his long-awaited digivolution power.
"Yes. My dream has come true. Prepare to die, humans. Now Impmon is back for revenge. Your deaths will come by my hands only!"
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, on the other side of the Digital World, Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon were still in statue forms on the side of the mountain away from Dark Magimon's ship.
Dark Magimon's Ship
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
King Devimon was sitting patiently in the meditation room while gathering up his ever so powerful ki. Waves of light wash through the room, but disappear almost immediately. A white ball of light with electricity running through it appears and disappears around him. He hovers silently with his eyes shut, with his legs and arms crossed. He began to glow a blue light.
Back within the third stage room, Omega X stands around with his hands on his hips while looking on impatiently.
"Hey! What the hell is going on?! Come out here now!"
"I say we break through the damn door," Matt shouted.
"You can't do that," Shintomon said.
The Supreme guardian goes over to grab Matt by the arm, but Metal Garurumon quickly reacts and gets into a defensive stance. Matt shrugs Shintomon away and turns around.
"I can't wait forever."
"Don't break it, Yamato."
"Shut up."
"There's too much danger that you would release D-Reaper," said Shintomon.
Dark Magimon observes the quarreling through his crystal ball and begins giggling to himself at the sight of it.
"They're getting jittery already! So, is King Devimon ready yet?"
The Gazimon looks right back to the door and then replies with an answer.
"No, he's still in the meditation room."
"That's ok. Raise your ki level even higher, King Devimon! You will show them what your true power is capable of!"
The sorcerer begins laughing once again at the sheer thought of King Devimon at his fully powered state. A cruel, twisted smile comes across the sorcerer's face.
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the Chuchidarumon village, everyone has gathered around after defeating the motorcycle and ensured the safety of the Chuchidarumon people.
"TK. You really proven to me that you have high hopes, no matter how great the danger is," Henry said, "Sorry for doubting you."
"Its ok. I knew you didn't know me very well and I just demonstrated what I am capable of. Angemon sure put up a fight there."
"I'll say."
"Now lets begin our search for Calumon," Buddamon said while walking back towards the group.
"Hey, where did you go? You missed all of the action," Jeri asked.
"I think I was able to track down the location of Calumon."
"Then we should be heading off over there as soon as possible," said Leomon.
But just as the group was heading out, a huge burst of lava comes shooting out from the cracked hole just a mile away from the village. The group ran over and looked on to see the motorcycle popping out but with somebody riding on it.
"Whoa! Who's on that bike?" asked Kazu.
"I don't know. But it looks like whoever is riding the machine has complete control over it," Angemon said.
As soon as he said that, the rider starts up the engine and speeds off away from the village area and heads out deep into the barren landscape of the digital world.
"Just who is that guy?" TK asked.
[Kid Rock "American Badass" plays]
The motorcycle was now out of sight but the rider on the bike happened to wear a full armored jacket, an impressive black outfit with armor spikes on several parts on his body. He also had clawed gloves His helmet looked to be dark blue and the only skin visible was underneath his helmet. It was light blue and his eyes were purely red with small black pupils. The biker spoke up with a dark tone in his voice and lets the whole digital world know who he really was.
"They call me Beezlebumon!"
With that said, Beelzebumon goes riding off into the horizon of the digital world, in search of some game to hunt before he begins his search for the Tamers.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's Ship
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Back within the meditation room, the evil King Devimon was still meditating. A white ball of light appears and disappears at random. The demon opens his eyes and a grin forms his face.
***************************************************************************************
The Tamer and Destined group were all lounging around impatiently, in hopes of getting the third opponent to finally reveal himself. Rika and Matt were clearly the most frustrated right about now.
"What are they doing?! Sleeping?" Matt asked, "They're late and it's already been five hours!"
Kari stretches out in preparation while Angewomon sits down meditating for the upcoming battle.
"I hope they didn't give up after they saw Metal Garurumon and Omega X fight," Takato said.
"Either that or the next opponent must be in a bathroom crapping himself to death," remarked Rika.
"Ah. We're in no rush. There's nothing to worry about," Omega X assured them.
Shintomon simply watches them, still with a speechless look on his face. Kari continues stretching.
**************************************************************************************
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Meanwhile, in the meditation room, King Devimon continues raising his ki level. The white ball of light sits around him and long strands of electricity runs everywhere, yellow bolts keeping a constant presence around the ball and white bolts sparkling up occasionally and disappearing again. King Devimon sits with his eyes shut, along with his arms and legs crossed.
Outside the meditation room, Dark Magimon begins pacing back and forth. He looks up and giggles to himself. He could now easily sense his greatest henchman reaching at his full potential power.
"Incredible! King Devimon's ki is going up! I like it a lot! I can almost see D-Reaper's resurrection right now! But all in due time! Ha! Ha!"
***************************************************************************************
Northern region of Digital World
Buddamon's group had already left the Chuchidarumon village and stopped over at a canyon resort, since Kazu and Kenta were once again complaining about their tired feet. Buddamon insisted on giving them a few minutes to letting them rest, which allowed me enough time to locate Calumon's ki.
[Final Fantasy VII "Main theme" plays]
"I just wonder how the others are doing? I hope they've found Dark Magimon's spaceship," said TK.
"I have a feeling that they already have gotten there," Buddamon said, "And they are inside of his ship as we speak."
"Really?! Did well did they fare," asked Henry.
"Well. Two of Dark Magimon's greatest henchmen have already been defeated. They have yet to reach two more obstacles before reaching to Dark Magimon and stopping him from unleashing the D-Reaper."
"That's all and well, but you think that they're going to make it through," Patamon said.
"It depends. We will trust on their abilities. I do believe that the last two opponents will be even more of a threat than the last two. They better not be overconfident over his whole ordeal. Shintomon wouldn't allow that to happen."
"One question. Who was that biker dude that just happened to pop right out of that lava? I mean what a bad dude," said Kazu.
"Hmm, for some reason. The energy I felt from that guy was very familiar," replied Terriermon.
"Huh? What do you mean," asked Henry.
"I mean, its as if I felt his power from somewhere before. But I really don't remember nor do I care. What we need to do is find Calumon.
"Agreed and its about time that you get up onto your feet and resume with our mission. This is work not a vacation," Buddamon stated.
"Oh, shucks. And I was just about to have a nice dream," said Kenta.
"Ditto here. Why don't you guys move on and let us just sit around to meet up with you when you get back?" asked Kazu.
"Or how about this- YOU TWO SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT UNKNOWN DIGIMON COMING OUT TO BITE YOUR ASSES! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT! YOU TWO ARE SOME OF THE LAZIEST BUMS I'VE EVER MET!" Sonja screamed from the top of her lungs.
The whole group looked over at her with sweats drop coming down their faces as if they were about to fall over. Sonja coughed to herself and crossed her arms. Kazu and Kenta's eyes were widened and they were about to say something but Sonja had already told them off.
"I rest my case. Ok, boys. Lets get a move on."
Kazu and Kenta get up from their behinds to follow the group along as they headed out into the barren landscape once again. TK goes walking up to Sonja and whispers to her.
"Hey, Sonja. Do you happen to talk like that to Davis? Man, I sort of feel sorry for him."
"Only when he misbehaves. If there's anything I hate more are whiners, complainers and lazy people. I won't tolerate it and that's just the way I am. Kazu and Kenta are no different. I had to set the record straight."
"And it worked. Thank god that you were able to get it through their thick heads of theirs," Patamon replied.
"Well that's Kazu and Kenta for you," replied Henry.
"Anyway. Compared to them, Davis is nothing like that. When he acts like a child at times, I'm attracted to him like that. But those two boys are not my husband, that's for sure."
"Boy looks like she straightened us out. Lets not try and pull that off again," Kenta said.
"Yeah I know. I wonder how Davis must put up with her. She's worse than Rika."
Sonja looks over at the two boys without even turning her head. She pushes her back away from her face and continues to walk with the others.
Buddamon stops as the group comes across a small, abandoned village. They all look over towards the village with awe looks on their faces.
"A village in the middle of nowhere. I'm guessing the people here suffered their fate," Leomon said.
"What makes you say that?" asked Jeri.
"Take a look for yourself. Do you see any digimon? I don't and they all could have been killed by that motorcycle we encountered early."
"That's is very true," said Buddamon, "That bike did happen to invade this village. This used to be a small Numemon village, but they are all wasted away."
"That's just horrible!" said Jeri, "Why would such a machine kill digimon?"
"Well you do remember that Metal Koromon riding that bike and losing control of his conscious self as a result," Henry said, "However the fault isn't going to be put on that Metal Koromon."
"Right. I sense that Calumon was once here."
"You did, Buddamon? Where do you think he ran off to?" TK asked.
Buddamon looks over towards the landscape ahead but then looks over towards the western section. He closes his eyes and then picks up a small ki. He turns around to face the group.
"He's over at the western section. We have to get there as soon as possible."
"Right, we're on it," said TK.
Suddenly, there was a loud, rumbling noise heard from the far distance. The entire group turned to see a huge, purple stream heading their way.
"Ahh! What is that beam doing?" Henry asked frantically.
"Its a data stream! Everybody you have to avoid it! If it touches you, you will be taken away into another part of the Digital World and we can't afford to find each other," Buddamon said.
TK goes over and snatches up Patamon away from the path of the in-coming data stream. Henry grabs Terriermon and makes a clean getaway. Buddamon flies overhead over the group, while Leomon was carrying Jeri off.
"Hey?! Where's, Kazu and Kenta?" Sonja asked.
The black-haired young woman turned to see Kazu and Kenta making their escape from the data stream. She rolls her eyes and goes running towards them. She snatches them by both of their hands.
"Lets go you two! You're wasting our times!"
"Speak for yourself!" Kazu exclaimed.
As soon as he said that, the data stream came by and sucked all three individuals as they were sent into another part of the Digital World.
"Oh no! We lost them! Sonja, Kazu and Kenta just got absorbed by that data stream!" exclaimed TK.
"Yes and they are now taken into another part of the Digital World," Buddamon said.
"Um, should we like go and find them," Terriermon asked, "This is a pretty dangerous place to explore after all. I feel pretty sorry for Sonja right about now."
"Bah. Don't worry about it. She's one tough babe. She can take care of herself," said Patamon, "From the way she took us all on many years ago, it'd be stupid to ever doubt her."
"Um yeah, but just one problem there. She's with Kazu and Kenta," replied TK, "I hope she can survive with those two."
"Don't worry, I'm sure they can all get along, put their differences aside and come searching for us."
"Yes. We really should be looking for Calumon, first. I have no doubts that your three friends will find us. Its only a matter of time."
They all agreed to each other and walked with Buddamon, with one goal in mind. And that was to retrieve Calumon. They had no doubts that Sonja would take care of herself, but could she survive a moment by herself along with Kazu and Kenta. That certainly wouldn't be her idea of babysitting.
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Dark Magimon's ship
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
King Devimon was still in his meditation room and raising his ki. The entire room is lit up briefly by bright sparks of white lightning extends out in many directions, in addition to a much less impressive yellow bolts that maintained a constant presence.
Dark Dagimon stands outside of the room with his eyes closed. His eyes open and the sorcerer giggles.
"The King of the Devimons is impressive!"
He looks over at his crystal ball and approaches it to check up on the Tamer and Destined group.
"I'm sure he can defeat them and get enough energy to resurrect D-Reaper. I'm glad that I brought King Devimon. I can easily remember when I found in the Realm of Darkness."
He remembers the day he firs laid eyes on King Devimon. The demon was basically doing his favorite everyday routine, destroying all innocence that stands in his way. He is considered one of the most feared presences in the two Digital Worlds. King Devimon stood triumphant over stacks of dead bodies and had a very happy expression over the souls that he claimed. But that would soon all change as he pledged his loyalty over to Dark Magimon and allowed the sorcerer to enslave him.
"The more evil there is in your heart, the easier it is for me to control you," Dark Magimon said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Sonja found herself in a clock zone filled with clouds. She then looked across and saw nothing but clocks and watches hanging around. There were clock gears suspended in the air and on poles. All of the gears were in the same golden color. Some of them moved, while others didn't
"Am I still in the Digital World?"
She then turns around to see none other than Kazu and Kenta. It was just her and those two boys.
"Ugh. No. I'm alone with these two?! Davis, help me…"
"Hey, Sonja? Where did we just go? I thought you knew how to avoid those data streams. After all, you were an experienced fighter in the digital world," Kazu said.
"Yeah? What gives?" asked Kenta.
Sonja turns away from them and angrily clenches her fists tightly.
"Um, hello? Earth to Sonja! Are you there? So, how are we going to get out of here?" Kazu asked, "You don't want to talk to us. Well, you should have said that earlier."
"Yeah. What he said!"
"WILL YOU TWO JUST SHUT THE HELL UP?!"
The two boys stood there with eyes widened and their mouths about to open in complete shock.
"God, what's your problem? We were just saying how you would propose we leave this clock world? All of these clicking is making my ears hurt."
"Well, Kazu. If you just realized that you were speaking to me in such a rude manner. I can't stand anyone with that kind of behavior. And I can't believe that I, once one of the strongest warriors in the Digital World, am now reduced to being nothing more than a babysitter for two of the most useless boys I have ever met! Ugh! Is that so much to ask?!"
"Hey. You think we're going to put up with your snobby and arrogant attitude? Well guess what? You're wrong. We don't even care if you are older than we are," Kazu said.
"You're not even our boss either."
"Whatever…"
Sonja turns her back towards the boys and looks out towards the skylines and the gears surrounding nearby poles.
"Hey, do you guys hear something?" asked Kenta.
"What? I don't hear anything," said Kazu, "Your hearing things, chumley. All I hear are…"
"Clocks…"
"Which one?"
"That one. Over there."
Kenta points out towards the particular clock that seemed to have been stuck. The boys walk over towards it and examine it. Sonja turns to face them and walks over towards the clock that they were investigating. The group saw the clock's hands moving rapidly around except the second hand. The second was stuck, right before the twelve.
"Ok. Step aside. I should fix it," Sonja said, "This noise is driving me crazy!"
"No! Don't touch it!" a voice called out.
As soon as she touched it, she gasped and watched as the second hand touched the twelve. She looks right over to what seemed to be two digimon. One looked like a giant gear and the other was a guy riding on top of a clock.
"What's the problem? We've fixed it," said Kazu.
"I agree. What is the big deal?" asked Kenta.
Sonja peers over at the two digimon and she quickly gets them scanned, since she is half artificial.
"Analyzing the two digimon. Hmm…"
[Clockmon. Champion-level. Machine type. Special Attacks: Chrono Breaker and Tempus Fugit.]
[Hagurumon. Rookie-level. Machine type. Special Attacks: Gear Rollers and Darkness Gears.]
"Oh no! Something bad is going to happen! Everybody take cover," exclaimed Hagurumon.
"We're all going down," Clockmon shouted out, "Well, maybe not."
Just then, all of the gears stopped moving and the group started to spread out as something was starting to open out from the ground. Sonja quickly places both boys away onto the side and quickly gets into a fighting stance. A large, dragon with a half cybernetic body comes pushing out from the ground.
Sonja looks over towards the dragon monster and quickly begins to analyze the beast.
[Megadramon. Ultimate Level. Special Attack: Darkside Attack.]
"You boys stay out of this. This is my fight and I'm going take care of his overgrown lizard myself."
"You?! But you're just a normal human," Hagururmon said.
"No kidding! You're signing your own death warrant, lady! Well, maybe not…"
"I'm no ordinary human. I was an artificial created by Datamon, but turned to the side of the Destined. Watch as I demonstrate my power."
[Our Lady's Peace "Whatever" plays]
As soon as she said that, she quickly flies up as if she were a torpedo. Megadramon sees her coming and flies right past her. Sonja smirks and phases right in front of him. She quickly powers up and lets lose several ki blasts over at the monster's face. Megadramon is sent flying back, as Sonja goes flying right towards him to begin another head on attack.
"Where are you going, dragon breath? We're not done yet."
But just as she was going to unleash her next attack, Megadramon revived himself and let's loose missiles from his hands.
"Darkside Attack!"
Sonja gasps and watches as the missiles come right for her. She gets into a blocking position and the missiles explode right head on. Megadramon laughs and flies around in satisfaction.
"Oh no! She's dead!" exclaimed Kazu, "I can't believe it!"
"No kidding! Looks like we're next on his menu list," said Kenta.
"Oh she's not done yet," Hagururmon said.
"Nope. Nope. She's very much alive. Well maybe not," Clockmon stated.
"But that's impossible!"
"No. Its very possible, boys," Sonja's voice called out.
As soon as the smoke cleared away, Sonja was standing without a single scratch on her. Megadramon was just as surprised. Sonja smirks while filing her nails.
"If we're done playing games, I do believe it is my turn."
With that said, Sonja goes and delivers a devastating uppercut to the monster's chin and kicks him right in the gut. Sonja goes flying back and cups her hands together. A powerful beam goes shooting out and sends Cyberdramon flying back.
"Way to go, girlfriend! That's the way to do it!" exclaimed Kazu.
"You rock! Give it to him!" said Kenta.
Just as Sonja was about to make her next attack, another digimon attacked Megadramon seemingly out of nowhere. Sonja stops to observe the digimon and analyzes it through her sensors.
[Cyberdramon. Ultimate-Level. Special Attack: Desolation Claw]
Megadramon charges at the fighter, but Cyberdramon stops him with one arm. Sonja could only look on with surprise. Cyberdramon powers up as an aura forms around him and his claws began to glow. He cups his hands together and goes slashing right at the Megadramon.
"Desolation Claw!"
This was soon to send Megadramon down to the ground and knock him out completely unconscious. Sonja goes flying down as she quickly confronted Cyberdramon.
"Cyberdramon! Stop!"
The group all turned around to see the source of the voice.
"That's not the one we are looking for, Cyberdramon."
"Oh my goodness! Is that who I think it is!" asked Hagurumon.
"Yes. Positively! It's Ryo! Ryo Akiyama!" announced Clockmon.
Sonja looks over towards what appeared to be a teenaged Tamer in mini-chaps, a shirt with a torn-up sleeve and a bandana around his neck.
"Ryo Akiyama!" the boys exclaimed.
"You know this guy?" Sonja asked.
"Cyberdramon! That wasn't the opponent that we are looking for! I command you to stop!"
But the warrior digimon would not follow his Tamer's command and continues to pummel the ground that Megadramon was sprawled unconscious on. Ryo goes walking up towards Cyberdramon.
"I said that I would never do this, but you leave me no choice!"
With that said, he goes and pulls out his D-Ark. It quickly produced a whip of some sorts. He used it as he restrained Cyberdramon from killing off Megadramon.
After Cyberdramon broke out of his state of wild behavior, Ryo turns around and faces the group with a smirk on his face.
"Well, you're an awfully weird bunch. I never knew there were other humans here. You three must be…"
"I'm Kazu."
"Kenta."
"I'll save the introductions for later, big shot. Just who the hell do you think you are for interfering with my fight? I didn't need your help."
"Well, you just happened to have gotten in Cyberdramon's way. He was the one who attacked, not me. You should talk to him about that."
"One more question. Just how did you get here? I thought there would be natural humans living within the Digital World."
"I'll explain everything later. But first let me try to help my friends over here for a second."
Ryo goes over to the broken clock, pulls out a pocketknife and stabs it to prevent the second hand from moving again. This would also prevent Megadramon to escape and finally seal him away.
"Thanks, Ryo! We really appreciate it," said Hagurumon.
"You're really quite welcome guys. There's really no reason to thank me. I was just there to help that's all. But I appreciate it."
"Well, we'll be seeing you later, Ryo. Make sure you keep, Cyberdramon under control."
"Will do, Clockmon."
Soon as he said that, the two digimon go walking off while arguing with one another on which Ryo liked the best.
"Ugh. What's up with this guy? He thinks he's all cool and pretends his all 'Mr. Perfect' or something. Please, I'm not buying it," said Sonja.
"Geez and I thought Rika was bad," Kazu whispered into Kenta's ear.
"Same here. They would sure make great sisters," said Kenta.
"Hey, kid? You're Ryo? As in Ryo Akiyama?" Kazu asked.
"Um, yeah. That's me."
"Wow! I can't believe it's really him! Mr. Ryo! You have to sign my autograph!"
"What he said."
"Guys you can just call me Ryo. Really. You three obviously look lost. I'll be more than happy to leads you out of this place. Trust me. I know every direction in the Digital World. You can just follow me."
"Can we be sure to even trust, you?" asked Sonja.
"Oh and I don't think you introduced yourself."
"That's Sonja. She's an artificial and a wife to a Destined named Davis. She's a big hothead, much like Rika."
"Rika? As in Rika Nonaka?"
"Yeah, Ryo. I remember you beat her in the Digimon Tournament. She certainly hasn't forgiven you for that," said Kazu.
"That so? Is she here?" asked Ryo.
"Yeah. She's off with another group over at Dark Magimon's ship."
"Is that so? Dark Magimon? That girl is just as stubborn as ever to getting herself involved in those dangerous situations. Alright, what we need to do is get you guys out of here…"
"But how did you get here in the Digital World?"
"Well, after I beat Rika in the tournament, I left the real world ten months back because my partner, Cyberdramon, was too hard to control when we were back on Earth. I did it so that we wouldn't cause further damage to everything around him."
"Too bad Rika never got a rematch. Heh. Heh," Kazu said.
"Since we've been out in the Digital World for so long, I've been waiting for at least some other kids to arrive. Then you guys came along. I know a way back to Earth, but the path involved 'going through another dimension'. Enough about me, how did you guys get here?"
"But we are with another group led by Buddamon," replied Sonja, "We got separated by a data stream and we were taken here. We have to regroup with Buddamon and the others. We are looking for Calumon. Rika and the others can pretty much handle Dark Magimon and his army."
"Sure, whatever. Lets go. There's no sense in staying around here," Ryo said, "Cyberdramon!"
With that said, Cyberdramon goes to follow alongside his partner. Kazu, Kenta and Sonja go following behind them.
"Wow! It's really him! Ryo! The Master Tamer," Kazu said to himself.
"He really is the man,"Kenta replied to himself.
"Please, make the hurting stop. I just hope the others were able to find Calumon right about now,"Sonja said to herself. "Davis, you better be ok or you're going to have to deal with me when you get back."
Ryo walks over and then leads his group over inside what seemed to be a portal. It would lead them into another location in the Digital World. As soon as they entered, they would be transported into an unknown location within the Digital World.

Dark Magimon's Ship
Everyone within the third staged room was now either falling asleep or getting restless. Omega X sits up and stretches his arms out while yawning.
"What's taking him so long?" asked Omega X.
"I know. It's getting late. I hope he comes soon," said Kari.
Matt and Metal Garurumon stare right over towards the word without muttering a word. Rika was sitting on her behind and basically was looking over at the same door.
"I just want to kick that damn door down myself," said Rika.
"Keep cool, Rika. We'll find out who will come out. I promise you."
"Lets just hope that you are right about that one, my goggle head friend. Besides, who else would be strong enough to emerge from that door," Rika said to herself.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon continues to observe them through his crystal ball but then stops as he turns to hear the door behind him. It was opening up. A smile comes across the sorcerer's face.
"King Devimon!"
The demon steps out of the room grinning and clenching his fists. A bright red aura was surrounding his body.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, master."
Back in the third stage room, Angewomon was rubbing her wrists as she awaits the arrival of her opponent. Kari was now standing at her side.
**************************************************************************************
Buddamon and his group were still walking as they were coming across what seemed to be a town covered completely in black-and-white as if it were some kind of movie. Jeri walked by Leomon's side and a smile comes across her face, knowing Leomon would protect her. TK and Henry looked across their surroundings.
"Shintomon. I can sense King Devimon's power. The Destined and the Tamers must brace themselves for the upcoming battle. His power is like no other," Buddamon said to himself in thought.
Can Ryo lead Sonja and the others to the others and regroup Buddamon's entire team in once piece? And will Kari and Angewomon be prepared for what's coming up next? Yes, it's not King Devimon coming up as the third stage opponent. Are the Tamers and Digi-Destined biting off more than they can chew?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Hikari Confronts King Devimon, the King of the Devimons! Light Must Overcome Darkness!
Unknown part of the Digital World
Buddamon and his group were now entering a town that looked over monotone, especially looking like something out of a 1930's cartoon. Everything was in black and white, with no sins of any color. It was kind of a dull scene to look at.
"Man, my eyes are starting to hurt just looking at it," said Terriermon.
"You telling me? My head is going all spinning around," TK commented.
Just then, Patamon noticed a plate full of brown-like food while standing on top of a table rock. He goes over and gives it a try. He snatches one and swallows it in one gulp. Within seconds, his eyes widened and he coughed out the treat from his mouth. He spat on the floor and flew to find a source of water to wash out his mouth.
"What's wrong, Patamon? Wasn't you taste, bud?"
Terriermon went over and picked out another from the plate. He swallows it up and gets the same result as Patamon said. He quickly spits it out and has a disgusted look on his face.
"Ack! I can't breathe! Need help now!"
"I guess, you shouldn't be picking out food that was left out in the open for days. Who knows what kind of bad germs you might get," said Henry.
"You're right. That brown food isn't even suitable for you two to eat," Leomon stated.
Suddenly, the whole group heard singing from the far distance. They all peered over to see who was approaching them. Buddamon could easily tell who they were just by sensing their presence. It was none other than Kazu, Kenta and Sonja.
"Kazu! Kenta! Sonja! Whew! Its a relief to see you guys again," TK said, "We thought we had lost you. So, how did babysitting go, Sonja?"
"Ugh, don't get me started, TK."
Suddenly, Ryo and Cyberdramon came walking up towards the group. They took notice of him and were surprised to say the least.
"Whoa, who's this guy?" asked Henry, "Is he a Tamer? And is that his digimon?"
"Hmm. Ryo Akiyama. I presume," Buddamon said.
"Yeah. That's me."
"Whoa! Whoa! This is the actual Ryo? Ryo Akiyama," asked TK, "The actual winner of the Digimon Tournament you've been telling me about?"
"This is Ryo alright. And he's the man! You should have seen Cyberdramon kick some digimon tail! It was awesome!" Kazu commented.
"And he saved our lives," replied Kenta.
"Bullshit. He got in my way and interfered with my fight. I kill people for doing that and Ryo, you're going to be no different."
"Don't mind her, Ryo. She's just jealous that you saved the day," Kazu said.
Sonja's eye widened and was appalled by Kazu's comments and she gave him a death glare. Kazu smiles over to her and then backs away while whistling to himself.
"Ryo. We need to know if you have seen a digimon by the name of Calumon," Buddamon said as he an orb appeared out of his hands.
The group all looked over to view a hologram image of Calumon out of the orb. Ryo takes a good look at it and nods with disapproval.
"I'm afraid not. I haven't seen him before. Cyberdramon and I have practically have traveled throughout the whole digital world. We don't recall seeing this 'Calumon' before."
"He is the source of digivolution and he must be found before Dark Magimon can get his evil hands upon him," replied Buddamon.
"As far as I know, no sorry. I wish I would really help you on finding him, but I'm more focused on finding a way back home."
"We can do that after we find Calumon and beat Dark Magimon from unleashing D-Reaper. Its only a matter of good timing and calculations to complete our missions," said TK, "Will you at least help us?"
"I'll do my best, but I must really keep Cyberdramon under control. He's a very wild digimon and lives only to fight. So I wouldn't try to get on his bad side. Now, lets begin this search," the legendary Tamer said.
Patamon and Terriermon looked right up towards Cyberdramon and the towering giant growls angrily, which sent chills down their spines.
"Gee, he's certainly not your friendly kind that's for sure," said Patamon.
"And somebody you wouldn't want to invite on your birthday party either," Terriermon remarked.
"I understand his emotions," said Leomon, "Much like myself, he lives to fight and will do what it takes to fight to survive. I was forced to endure that same situation during my past battles against Burizalor's army."
"Yeah but you never really wanted to bite our heads off like this guy would," Patamon said, "We better stay on his good side, what do you say?"
They all nodded as they watched the other members of the group walking off.
"Hey! You didn't have to leave us hanging behind!" exclaimed Terriermon.
"Wait up!"
"So, we were basically battling an army of powerful digimon known as the Devas," said Henry, "And they were all sent by Dark Magimon, in order to gather as much energy to help the evil sorcerer release the D-Reaper. So that is why we must find Calumon and regroup with the others to stop Dark Magimon, before it is too late."
"Yeah. We've had our run-ins with the Devas too," said Ryo, "But the last time I checked, they weren't working for this Dark Magimon you speak of."
"So, whom did they originally work for?"
"I have no idea, but they call him the 'Sovereign'. Not even Cyberdramon and I were able to see him, since his land is heavily guarded. But I would assume that those Devas were certainly taken away from him, in favor for Dark Magimon."
"Interesting facts, but have you heard anything concerning the D-Reaper?"
"No, but I hear rumors of a magical sphere containing some sort of creature that was sealed within it many thousands of years ago. This was told to me by one of the resident digimon in this part of the Digital World."
"I see. Then we're obviously not the only ones who know much about the D-Reaper," said TK.
Just then Leomon stopped for a moment and looks up into the skies from above. He growls under his breathe.
"What's the matter, Leomon?" Jeri asked.
"I sense the presence of a data stream and it's heading this way."
"What?! Oh no! Not again!" exclaimed Kazu.
"We can't get sucked away again! Not now! Not after all of this trouble!" shouted Kenta.
"Shut up and maybe we won't!" said Sonja.
But as soon as she said that, the powerful, pink beam comes shooting out of nowhere and sucks the whole group up. They were now quickly being sent away into another portion of the Digital World, but to which section is very much unknown.
"Well, it's been nice knowing ya, Ryo," said Kazu, "Looks like we're all going to be meeting each other in heaven!"
"I want to go home," Kenta complained.
"Wait! I think I see some sort of portal! We're going into another sector of the Digital World!" exclaimed Ryo.
With that said, the group went through the vortex and found themselves spinning through a whirlpool of some sorts. Then everything went completely quickly in a few moments.
***************************************************************************************
"Henry? Henry? Wake up, will ya?! Geez!"
The blue-haired boy slowly opened his eyes and then looks around his surroundings. No longer where they in that black-and-white town, but now he found himself in an open forest.
"Terriermon?! Where are we? Are we still in the Digital World?"
"Well, its not Kansas, that's for sure."
"Hey guys! Can you hear me? Guys?"
Just then, Kazu and Kenta were seen being pushed out from a bush and Sonja comes walking out with her eyes glaring over towards them. Kazu and Kenta fell on their knees as if they were begging for mercy. Leomon was sitting next to Jeri while looking on towards their argument. Ryo and Cyberdramon came walking out from the bushes while Ryo was shaking the cobwebs out, so to speak. Buddamon looked out towards what appeared to be a large lake of some sorts.
"Buddamon? Why did we come here?"
"Its simple, Henry. Whenever the stream touches us, we are taken into a different location in the Digital World."
"But how come, you didn't prevent it?" asked Ryo.
"Simple. I wanted to see if we would find Calumon here. Those data streams could have brought him here. So I wanted to make sure that we came in this exact quadrant. Judging by the looks of this forest, it looks like we are in the western quadrant"
"But how can we be certain that we can find Calumon here," TK said after splashing his face with water.
"Remember us digimon can sense the location of others. Besides, its very easy to track the one who inherits the source of digivolution itself."
Suddenly, there were several ki blasts being fired away deep within the forest. The whole group turned around to see several trees being blasted away. The digimon all got into fighting stances as they headed out towards the forest.
"Patamon!"
"Terriermon!"
"What is it, Leomon?"
"We sense the location of a new fighter," Cyberdramon said, "Two fighters to be exact!"
"We must go," said Buddamon, "There's no point in standing around here all day."
The group nodded in agreement as they headed out into the forest to follow their fellow digimon. As soon as they arrived over at the battlefield, they could see their digimon standing at one side while watching a robotic digimon shooting out missiles at what looked like a multi-headed snake.
"Whoa! Are those the two that were causing that destruction?" asked Henry.
"Yes. But it looks like that robotic digimon is trying to stop that sea monster," said Jeri.
"Hey! That looks like Andromon!" exclaimed TK.
"You're right, but it's not the same Andromon that we know back in the other Digital World," said Patamon.
"He's right," Buddamon said, "Just because one looks like the other, they are different."
"So they're like equivalents of the other," said Sonja.
"Yes. Very much so."
"Oh man! He's standing up to that thing! Go Andromon!" shouted Kazu.
Andromon quickly turns to face the group and towards the other digimon.
"Who must you strangers be and what are you doing here?! Can't you see that I'm trying to stop this fiend," Andromon said.
[Andromon. Ultimate-level. Android type. Special attack: Gattling Attack.]
"Andromon! You can't fight him alone! You're going to get killed!" exclaimed Leomon, "Plus the Andromon that I know would have easily defeated this creature."
"Well, we better take a look at the thing that he's battling," Jeri said, "Lets take a look at this here, digivice."
She looks over at her D-Ark and it quickly displays a full image of the multi-headed snake.
[Orchimon. Ultimate-level. Special Attack: Inferno Blast]
Orchimon quickly pops right out of the water as he quickly approaches Andromon, who quickly got into a fighting stance. The android digimon activated his chest plates and they opened up to fire away two missiles over at Orchimon, but they merely bounced off.
"What? My Gattling Attack should have fazed him! This is certainly not fair…"
"Well, its obvious this one is weaker than the one we used to know," said TK, "Patamon! Lets take him! Angemon style!"
[Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
The blonde-haired young man pulls out his D-3 and it shoots out w powerful beam of energy over to Patamon, who used it to quickly digivolve into his champion-level form.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
Orchimon goes over and lashes out his tail, which sends Andromon flying back. Orchimon shoots out a fiery blast and causes further damage to Andromon. Just as he was about to make his attack once again, Angemon comes up from behind with his glowing fist. He wrenches back and goes to throw it out.
"Hand of Fate!"
As soon as he shoots out a powerful holy beam from his fist, it quickly catches Orchimon's attention and knocks him away for just a moment. Henry looks over to Terriermon and the dog bunny goes rushing out to the battle.
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Henry pulls out a card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
Angemon and Gargomon stand at once side as they fired away several blasts over at Orchimon, but they were only able to slow him down at the very moment. Leomon comes up from behind and pulls out his sword. He goes to stab the monster right in the head, but Orchimon lashes out his tail to send Leomon flying back.
"Oh no! Leomon! Why don't you digivolve?!" Jeri asked.
Andromon catches his second wind as he holds out his left fists. He presses a button and his fists start to glow. He points them over towards Orchimon, who was severely distracted at the very moment.
"If that wasn't good enough for you, then why not try my 'Lightning Blade'?!"
But just as he was about to unleash his attack, one of Orchimon's head let's loose s fiery blast that knocks Andromon down. Kazu notices this.
"Oh no! Andromon!"
"Kazu?! What the hell are you doing?! You're going to get killed," exclaimed Sonja.
"Sorry but I have to help Andromon!"
Kazu runs over to Andromon's side and attempts to pull him up onto his feet. The android notices the boy and falls down on his knees.
"Why are you helping me? Um, human? You're a human?"
"Just don't push yourself like that. You were about to get yourself killed, man!"
"But I have to. I have to stop him from hurting the innocence of this forest… I serve for the good of justice…"
Back over at the battleground, Angemon and Gargomon were still blasting away at Orchimon with everything that they got. Leomon slowly rises to his feet and holds tightly onto his sword.
"Let me fight them… Um, who ever you are…"
"The names Kazu."
"Kazu? Well, you had better let me fight Orchimon. I have to stop him…"
"No. YOu got to rest. You've lost a lot of energy."
"No I haven't… I… Oh dear…"
Suddenly Andromon felt his ki decreasing at a rapid rate. Then his body shrinks down and his ultimate-level form was slowly de-evolving back into his champion form. He was no longer Andromon.
"Oh man, you de-evolved, buddy. I told you that you already lost almost all of your powers," said Kazu.
"But this can't be right… I was so close to beating Orchimon!"
"Hey, he de-evolved," Jeri said as she held out her D-Ark while analyzing the digimon sitting next to Kazu.
[Guardromon. Champion-level. Special Attack: Guardian Barrage.]
"I have to continue the fight," said Guardromon, "You must let me, Kazu!"
"You're already weakened. You can't fight him now! No way and no how!"
Sonja goes running into the battle and she goes jumping up into the air. She then flies down and delivers a kick to the monster's face. The multi-headed snake took the powerful impact of the kick and was sent falling back.
"Nice one, Sonja," Kenta commented.
"Its not over yet! Angemon! Gargomon! Attack!"
Angemon pushes back and unleashes an energy beam over at Orchimon. Gargomon runs over and unleashes his Gargo Lasersr. All of this was enough to bring Orchimon down, but not enough to destroy him just yet. Just as soon as a smoke cloud was appearing all around Orchimon, the digimon were now trying to catch their breaths.
But just as the smoke was slowly starting to clear away, Orchimon was still standing in the lake without a single scratch on him.
"Ha! Is that the best you got?" asked Orchimon, "You're going to have to do much better than that to defeat me! My turn!"
The multi-headed serpent shoots out a powerful, fiery blast that manages to knock off away the digimon. Angemon and Gargomon both managed to regroup.
"Gargomon! I have an idea! I say we take out one of the heads! That should at least weaken him and give us an advantage," said Angemon.
"Gee! Why didn't I think of that? Lets give it a shot!"
Orchimon watches as the two digimon spread out with Angemon flying over in one direction and Gargomon running towards the other.
"So, are you two back for more already?"
Angemon phases out and powers up his fist. He wrenches back and shots out a powerful beam from his fist and manages to blow off one of Orchimon's heads away. Gargomon went into another direction and delivers a 'Bunny Pummel' that was easily able to take out the other head with tremendous ease.
"Alright! Nice shot!" Henry exclaimed.
"Way to go, Angemon!"
"Oh no! Don't do that!" exclaimed Guardromon, "I should have told them earlier."
"What's that?" Kazu asked, "What could go wrong?"
"That!"
With that said, the group watched on in shock as the lost heads were quickly being regenerated on Orchimon's body. The multi-headed serpent has now regained his power as well and was ready to attack once again.
"That on your part. I must commend you, but you never knew about my ability to regenerate my heads," Orchimon said.
"Not if we have anything to say about that! Cyberdramon!" Ryo calls out.
Cyberdramon phases out and starts to attack Orchimon head on, but the multi-headed snake delivers a head butt to Cyberdramon, which sent him flying back into Ryo. Cyberdramon was down and lying on top of Ryo, who was quickly kicking away and trying got catch his breathe.
"Hey! I wasn't even ready yet!" Ryo managed to say under his breath, "A good Tamer must always need time for preparations! Ack! Get off of me."
"Pfft. So much for the Legendary Tamer, he can't even keep his digimon under control," Sonja muttered.
"Just like Virus! Ok, that does it! He's mine!" exclaimed Leomon.
"But, you'll get killed!" Jeri said.
"Jeri. If in can truly evolve back into Cyberleomon again, you're just going to have to allow me to battle Orchimon. It's the only way. So, what do you say?"
Jeri stood there with a frightened look and she couldn't stand the thought of losing Leomon. But she knew that there was no choice and she would have to allow him to return into battle. The girl shook her head.
"Thank you, Jeri. I have to digivolve! I need that power back within my grasp!"
"You got it. Now if I could only find it…"
Jeri searched through her purse and pulls out several digimon cards. Then she pulls out the evolution card.
"Ready, Leomon?"
"I'm ready! Lets give Orchimon all we got!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Jeri slashes the card through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Leomon warp shinka!"
Just as soon as she said that, Leomon was quickly starting to evolve. But instead of going into his ultimate level, he managed to by pass it and went straight into his secondary mega form, Cyberleomon. How he was standing upright with silver skin and a golden aura of light emulating over his body. His sword has become a long blade and his eyes were glowing a golden color.
"Cyberleomon."
Jeri stood there in complete shock at what she had just did. She couldn't believe that Leomon had already evolved right through into the mega level. The other digimon could feel his ki level and it has increased like no other.
"Whoa! That is like one of the coolest things that I've ever seen!" said Kenta.
"Jeri managed to help him evolve into his mega level? But I thought he would have evolved into Saberleomon."
"This is my secondary mega evolution. It was give to me by Azulongmon after serving my loyalty to him. I am now Cyberleomon and its great to be back. Thank you, Jeri. It was you that brought the power out of me."
"Um… Your welcome…"
Henry pulls out his D-Ark and goes to analyze Leomon's secondary mega evolution form. He was quite surprised to even get his statistics.
[Cyberleomon. Mega level. His body is made completely out of chrome digizoid metal. Special Attacks: Justice Fist and the Pure Aura of Truth.]
"I've seen him before. I remember Cyberleomon battling my artificial brother, Jax, all those years ago. It was a close battle to say the least. In my opinion, Orchimon is toast," Sonja said to herself.
Cyberleomon turns around as he faces Orchimon with a death glare in his eyes. Orchimon could merely look over to him with a huge smirk on his face.
"How does he expect to win? There's still no way he can beat Orchimon! Even if he is at the mega level he's still not going to scratch him," Guardromon.
"Relax, buddy. Let Leomon take of this. He seems confident enough anyway," Kazu assured the digimon.
"So, you expect some shiny armor to impress me," Orchimon asked, "It still won't save you, weakling."
"Once I'm done with you, you'll find out who the weakling truly is. You're simply no match for me now. Give me your best shot."
"With pleasure! Inferno Blast!"
Cyberleomon easily flies right through the fiery blast and delivers a powerful fist to the face of the multi-headed monster.
"Justice Fist!"
Orchimon goes flying back out of the lake. Cyberleomon manages to phase out and reappears right behind Orchimon. The snake turns around and gasps in terror just as Cyberleomon delivers a spinning back kick and an elbowsmash. Orchimon goes face first into the lake and tries to pull himself up. Suddenly, Cyberleomon's metallic body was slowly starting to glow a golden light. He puts his two hands together and a beam comes shooting from his hands. Orchimon slowly rises up and is nailed right in the face.
"Its time to finish this, Jeri. Use another one of your cards. You an attack that may prove effective against Orchimon! Quick!"
"Right and I got just the card you need!"
Jeri pulls out that card and slashes it right through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Lady Devimon's Darkness Wave!"
"What the?! Lady Devimon!" Kazu and Kenta both exclaimed in disbelief.
"Just watch, boys. Jeri is finally proving herself to be a brave Tamer," Sonja said, "She's at least becoming much braver than you two ever will be."
"Hey! That's supposed to be a compliment right," Kazu asked.
"Right, what he said!" replied Guardromon.
Cyberleomon felt his energy increasingly explode and an image of Ladydevimon appears behind him. His eyes start to glow crimson red and a dark energy was surrounding him. He lets out a roar and shoots out a black energy beam over at Orchimon.
"Darkness Cloud!"
Orchimon could only watch as the beam hit straight on and slowly his body started to fade away fast. He quickly exploded into data as Cyberleomon powered down.
"Alright! We did it, Cyberleomon! So, am I actually brave as you say I am?" asked the brown-haired girl.
"Yes. I said it before; you have the heart of a lion. You truly proved that to each of us. Thank you for helping me digivolve into my mega form. I couldn't have done it without you."
"Really? Or are you just saying that?"
"No, its very true," said TK, "He hasn't been able to digivolve into Cyberleomon ever since he was nearly killed by Virus. He had lost all ability to digivolve past his champion-level form. But thanks to you and your modify cards, it has allowed Leomon to reach his full potential."
"Well. I'm truly honored, to be his Tamer. Thank you, Leomon."
"Hey, Buddamon. One question. How come you always sit around when we are involved in these battles?" asked Kenta.
"I don't need to. I could have easily defeated Orchimon. I wanted to see how much you could prove on your own. The digimon have been very impressive."
"Hmm. well, gee. The reason why we came was to find our partner digimon," said Kazu, "That's all we ever wanted. But looks like that won't be happening anytime soon."
Just then, a shining object started floating right in front of Kazu's face and he looks up to see what it was. To his surprise, it was something that Jeri received. It was a D-Ark and it floated down right into Kazu's hands.
"I must be dreaming? No way! I got a digivice," Kazu exclaimed.
"Huh and what does that mean?" asked Guardromon.
"Well, what do you think?! That means that you're my digimon partner! Looks like you got yourself a new Tamer!"
Kazu jumps right onto Guardromon and starts giving him a hug, which Guardromon couldn't receive since, he was much too big for Kazu to hug.
"Whoa. Whoa. Watch it with my gears. They were just repaired a couple of weeks ago."
"Wow, congrats!" Jeri said.
"Looks like I'm a Tamer just like you guys," said Kazu.
"Oh man! And I'm the only one left out! Its not fair!" whined Kenta.
"Aren't you surprised, TK?" asked Henry, "I mean c'mon. This is Kazu we're talking about. I never expected him to eventually become a real Tamer."
"I'm not surprised, because of the fact that he befriended Guardromon. And the way he showed his compassion towards Guadromon really set that spark off. I knew that each of the new kids would end up with their own digimon. I wouldn't even be surprised if Kenta ended up with a partner by the time we get back home. Its only a matter of time."
"You mean, I'm going to have a digimon partner soon," the glasses-worn boy said.
"Well, we're just going to find out then won't we," replied Sonja, "But if Kazu is able to have Guardromon as his partner, then Kenta will end up with something perhaps even better."
"Maybe like an Imperialdramon! I've always wanted one."
"Just keep dreaming, Kenta. Maybe you'll end up with a Numemon," said Sonja.
The whole group started to laugh at her comment with Kenta laughing as well. Buddamon smirks and looks over to see Cyberdramon still sitting on top of Ryo, who was still kicking away and trying to push his way through.
"Um, a little help here! I can't breathe!"
"Ryo is having difficulty in controlling Cyberdramon. But I must find out why that is possible. He shouldn't even have trouble-taming Cyberdramon. I must get to the bottom of this. Shintomon, I just hope you and the others have managed to finish off all of Dark Magimon's minions and defeated the evil sorcerer right about now."

Dark Magimon's ship location
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
A light wind manages to blow a layer of dust into the air at Dark Magimon's ship. The Tamer and Destined group look right over towards the third-level door. Matt takes a step forward with his arms still crossed. He angrily glares ahead.
"He's late! He's taking too damn much time! It's driving me crazy!" the blonde-haired young man said.
Kari smiles and manages to do a back flip, as a way to warm her body up before she fuses with Angewomon.
"I wonder what's going to come out," she said, "Maybe some sort of mutated Whamon with huge rocket launchers or something."
Omega X smiles over at what his sister had just said about the mutated Whamon.
"I hope he hurries out!" Angewomon said, "I'm getting quite restless here."
"I'm looking forward to seeing how much stronger you two have gotten," said Omega X.
Kari quickly looks back over towards Omega X and she gulps under her breathe.
"Ummm…"
"So, did you and Angewomon train hard during these last seven years? I bet you even surpassed the strongest level of fusion, haven't ya?"
Kari smiles nervously and then decides to speak up to let her brother know about the truth of her fusion training.
"Well, you see… We haven't really trained that much…"
A smirk forms across the face of Matt as he speaks up for the girl.
"Ha. She didn't do much training with Angewomon during these years of peace. She's been too busy hanging out with friends and teaching little brats rather do some serious training. We're all much stronger than she is now."
Takato was appalled by this and decides that it was time to defend Kari.
"Hey! Stop that! You don't know Kari! She may not have the strength, but she definitely has the heart! That's all that matters as far as battles are concerned. Besides, it was her that motivated Guilmon and myself. He wouldn't be War Growlmon now if it weren't for her. And I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her."
"Wow, Kari must be really something," Rika thought. "If she was able to motivate goggle head into becoming a braver Tamer, then he wouldn't be where he is now. But when she tried to help me, I just blew her off as if she were nothing. I never realized that she was the one who defeated Virus those seven years ago. Way to tell him, Takato."
"Hmph and who asked you to speak?" asked Matt, "Nobody! So stay out of our business!"
"Shut up!" Rika exclaimed, "I really thought that you be a really big help to us, but you're just nothing more than a jerk! Just lay off of goggle head."
"Rika, defending me? Wow that's a first," Takato said to himself.
"Whatever, I just want to get the hell out of this dump," said Matt, "I got better things to do than this."
Shintomon looks across the room and towards the Destined, more specifically. He was still surprised by each of their digimon's strength and power.
"So that's the secret to their self-confidence! When they have to, any of them can become as strong as Omega X. It's an unbelievable fact! I can't believe I've been surpassed by mere mortals like these!"
Suddenly, the door starts to open and air is hissing as it passes between the rooms. The group all look over towards it and the door opens up, finally revealing none other than King Devimon himself.
"Oh no! King Devimon! But, so soon?!" exclaimed Shintomon.
King Devimon looks on with a evil smirk on his face. He steps into the room and Shintomon simply stares over at him in disbelief.
"But I didn't think that we had to fight King Devimon this soon! This was unexpected!"
"Ha. So you're the mortals with the super powerful digimon. You've managed to defeat Majiramon and reaches stage three. That's pretty good for rookies. Even though I believe to be a miracle, I congratulate you. But this is as far as you go!Now that you have to fight me, you will all die."
Shintomon was still looking on with shock on his face and wouldn't even mutter a single word. He was practically speechless. A smirk comes across the face of Matt.
"I've lost all respect for Dark Magimon if this is his best."
Shintomon looks right up towards Matt and could only gasp at his sudden arrogance.
"This isn't the time to trash talk, Matt," Rika said, "And I would have been the one doing all the trash talking before. But this time, forget it."
"That's enough of this worthless talk," said King Devimon, "Come and get me! You can all attack me at once."
The whole digimon group all get into fighting stances as they were now prepared to face the king of the Devimons, but Kari and Angewomon their arms out in front of the group. King Devimon noticed serious looks on their faces.
"No! Its our turn!" exclaimed Kari, "We'll beat you when we fuse."
King Devimon was taken back by this with surprise and was quite offended by what the young woman had to say. He sneered over at her.
"What did you just say?!"
"But we don't want to fight you in this small room. Its much too cramped up in here," said Angewomon, "Lets go somewhere else to fight, much like my brother and Matt had to go through."
"Good thinking. Maybe like a canyon valley or a nice walk on the beach," Kari proclaimed.
Kari looks down at the ground and a dissatisfying look comes across her face.
"But I'm pretty disappointed if this is all we get."
Shintomon gasps at what Kari was saying and was beginning to think that she was already becoming too overconfident in the upcoming battle against the king of all the Devimons.
"Why you insolent woman!" the black-clad demon shouted in anger.
He throws his wings back, hunches over and pulls back as if he was about to punch while holding out the other as if he were about to fire away a ki blast.
"You will fight me here and now!"
"King Devimon! Wait!"
He stops and then looks up at the ceiling as Dark Magimon was speaking to him telepathically.
"We can't have the ship destroyed if the D-Reaper is to be resurrected perfectly. Won't you please fight somewhere else, please?"
King Devimon quickly straightens up and responds as if he were a soldier taking the general's command.
"Yes sir!"
"Where do you want to fight?"
"The dimension known as Hades! Its environment is much similar to that of Earth."
"You certainly have a lot of self-confidence. But that's only natural. There's no one who is your equal. Lets go!"
With that being said, the evil sorcerer throws out his hands around the crystal ball.
"PARAPATA!"
Suddenly there was a strong wind forming within the room. Kari and Angewomon look around as if they were being transported right through space and time.
"Were being transported into another location. Its that Dark Magimon and his magic again," said Shintomon.
Kari turns away from her surroundings and then faces towards King Devimon with a smirk on her face. Angewomon quickly gets into a fighting stance. Their journey finally ends in a desolate rocky area against the backdrop of a red sky, which made the landscape look like that of Planet Mars.
"Well then, mortals! You can't complain! Let us begin!"
"Alright! Lets do this!" Angewomon called out.
She adopts a fighting pose, with one arm at about the wrist height and the other about head height, her torso bent over a bit.
"Don't let your guard down, Angewomon!" said Kari.
"Lets see if she was really slacking off," Omega X replied, "Maybe she still has the power within her to defeat this guy."
[Deftones "Shove It" plays]
Angewomon grins and quickly flies right over towards King Devimon. But as soon as he was about to nail her, she quickly phases out. King Devimon looks up into the sky and grins, and just after he looks up, Angewomon appears in the spot that he was staring at. The angel woman drops down in slow motion as King Devimon takes a fighting stance. The two were now ready to collide.
"Go get him, Angewomon!" exclaimed Takato.
"She looks strong enough to me," said Guilmon.
"But looks aren't everything," replied Renamon, "She must demonstrate her true abilities. That is what makes a warrior."
"Well, it wouldn't surprise me if she were to beat King Devimon. After all, she did beat Virus," Rika said.
The group stopped talking as they watched the battle between Angewomon and King Devimon about to ensue any moment now.
***************************************************************************************
Back on another side of the Digital World
Calumon was still skipping around with the fairies and did not look like he was about to tire out anytime soon. He looks ahead and sees something rushing over towards him. It looked like a dog with a cartoon-look on his face. He stops right in front of Calumon.
"Hello, Mr. Dogmon. How are you?"
But the Dogmon responded by throwing several pebbles at him, which caused Calumon to yelp. Calumon was truly not very pleased at the way the Dogmon was treating him.
"Hey that wasn't very nice! You meanie!"
Dogmon fell on the ground and was laughing to himself. But then he sits up and starts sniffing Calumon.
"Um, what are you doing, Mr. Dogmon? You smell something?"
"I'm hungry! I'm going to eat some dinner!"
"Great, what's on the menu?"
"You! You! You!"
Calumon was in shock after hearing this and quickly runs off towards the barren landscape as the Dogmon quickly gives chase to the little digimon. Watching on from a far distance, a Gekomon and an Otamamon were looking on.
"You don't see that everyday," Gekomon stated.
"Remind me to never watch cartoons again," Otamamon said. "That shit is too whacked out!"
"No! Please don't eat me! I don't taste very good! Please, lets just compromise and talk this over! Ahh!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third level room. Dimension Hades.
The battle between the two fighters was ensuing and a rather large rock structure suddenly snaps at about its halfway point and crumbles. A trail of fire quickly appears and disappears along the ground nearby. Angewomon emerges from the smoke, looking up right at King Devimon. King Devimon flies up a little and throws his wings back. Angewomon pulls her arm back and goes flying forwards towards her evil adversary.
King Devimon swipes forward and a large, blue-blade-like beam goes flying down towards Angewomon. She manages to jump out of the way and it continues down, cutting through the water destroying another rock structure.
Omega X and Matt look on with smirks across their faces. Metal Garurumon and the Tamers' digimon watched on to keep up with their speed. Takato and Rika were unable to see the fighter move about and were hoping for Angewomon to pull it through. Shintomon was simply looking on in shock.
"Wow! You're good!" Angewomon said.
King Devimon grins and then two more of the same blade beams come appearing at the grasp of both of his hands. He tosses them right down as if forming an 'X' shape. Angewomon watches on and manages to dodge the now separating blades with her tremendous speed. She looks down to watch the blades penetrate right through more rock structures.
Angewomon goes dropping down into the water, swims right under King Devimon and fires away a 'Celestial Arrow' straight at him.
"Bah! You idiot!" exclaimed King Devimon.
The demon holds out his hand. But just then, Angewomon quickly appears in the sky a few yards away. King Devimon looks right up in shock.
"Huh?!"
Angewomon goes flying right down towards King Devimon as if she were a falcon. King Devimon throws his hands out in order to put his guard up and the angelic woman kicks him in the face. She then quickly dodges her own ki blast and a few more rocks are destroyed as King Devimon goes flying right through them. Angewomon stares down at the pile of boulders, but the dust don't have much chance to settle before the rocks began levitating. At the center was none other than King Devimon, completely unscratched. He grins and sends the stones flying towards Angewomon. She gasps, but is hit by the whole cluster and carried into another giant rock. It collapses on her.
"No! Angewomon! Hang on!" Kari exclaimed.
The group watches on as Kari pulls out her D-3 and presses it against her chest. She quickly transforms into a pink aura of light and quickly disappears.
"Where did she go?" asked Takato.
"I have no idea," said Rika.
"She's gone? But what on digital world is she going to do now? Angewomon is probably dead," Shintomon said.
"She's not done and Kari has a big surprise for you Tamers," said Omega X, "You really thought that Matt and I could only fuse with our digimon. Well there are others. And Kari is one of them."
"Takato. Rika. We would like to introduce you to none other than… Celesta X," said Matt.
The Tamers looked over back at the battlegrounds. They were now waiting in anticipation for the fusion warrior of light to finally appear. King Devimon lands and slowly walks toward the pile of rocks and dust, grinning. Suddenly, a pink light explodes from inside. He stops, throwing up his arms to guard against the flying rocks.
"Huh?! What is the meaning of this?!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Hovering above the dust and rocks staring right down over at King Devimon is the completely uninjured Celesta X. She looks down at him with a golden pink aura glowing around her body and her long, blonde hair flowing across from the wind blowing around her. Her heavenly, pure blue eyes look down upon his crimson, red eyes.
"What is this?!"
"King Devimon. We're Celesta X, your worst nightmare come to life."
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
[Metallica "From Whom the Bell Tolls" plays]
King Devimon gasps and starts stumbling back, as he goes staring right up towards the fusion warrior known as Celesta X. She stood there on top of the cliff ahead of her adversary, with a cloud of smoke rising up around her. She glares down at King Devimon with heavenly, pure blue eyes.
"Alright, Kari! Show us your fusion power!" Omega X calls out.
Shintomon has the shocked look on his face as usual, while Matt is still standing there with a intense look on his face with his arms crossed. Rika and Takato were speechless at what they were seeing.
"Wow, and here I thought that Kari was nothing more than a weakling at first," Rika said, "But she's really turning up the heat. She's proven even me wrong."
"I guess since you were Digimon Queen for a long time, you felt that you did not have any equals. But in reality, there are people with digimon much more experienced then yours," Takato replied.
"I'd normally sock you in the nose for that comment, but I'm letting you off this easy. Besides, I've never expected to see a fusion warrior up close like this.
"Go, Gato and Kari!" exclaimed Guilmon.
"These two have an equal power level, but I feel Celesta X has an edge against King Devimon," Renamon said while examining the two fighters. "Celesta has the holy advantage."
Back on the battlefield, Celesta X quickly disappears. This quickly catches King Devimon off guard. She reappears with her fist lodged into King Devimon's chest. The demon's face contorts in pain and his mouth goes gaping wide open, dropping some of the saliva stone spit at the same time. Celesta X goes shouting out, pulls back and decks him right in the face with a punch. Celesta X turns with the punch and looks over to see King Devimon flying back. She looks back over her shoulder, phases out and reappears right behind King Devimon.
She kicks him in the side of the head from behind, and once again, King Devimon's face is twisted with pain and surprise. King Devimon starts sailing towards the ground, sending up lots of dust and debris all around him. A crater was formed as a result and Celesta goes landing near it. She holds out her hands and begins unleashing a barrage of ki blasts down onto King Devimon. Light starts growing from the growing explosion and eventually expands out. Celesta X looks on to see if she had done her adversary in.
*************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon could only look on with a horrified look on his face.
"King Devimon!"
**************************************************************************************
Just as the light starts fading away, all there was left was a huge dust cloud and raining debris of rocks. Celesta X glares into the cloud, and then suddenly her eyes go to her back. King Devimon instantly appears behind her, with his fist pulled back and lunging towards her. She quickly spins around and blocks the punch. King Devimon clenches his teeth, while Celesta X grinned. He punches, and Celesta X falls over, but doesn't actually fall out of the sky. He takes another punch to the gut, then a knee to the face. She goes to throw a punch of his own, but King Devimon crosses his arms in front and shields himself. From afar, there is a ball of light descending from the sky. Suddenly, it disappears and a large shockwave expands from what the group is seeing, then another.
Both fighters land across from each other on rocks. Celesta X screams and charges up her ki. Her hair goes from a faded blonde to a more, golden color, with her aura reappearing. She sends out a shockwave that manages to destroy a nearby rock ledge, while King Devimon throws up his arms to shield himself from the debris.
"Is this what you call serious? C'mon quit wasting our time!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"What?!"
"Incredible!" Shintomon said.
Omega X simply smiles with Matt and Metal Garurumon looking away from him and back towards the battle. Guilmon was basically rooting for Celesta X while Renamon, Rika and Takato looked on from the sidelines, just as shocked as ever.
Celesta X waits, but then notices King Devimon grinning.
"Alright. Lets get serious then, mortal."
The demon spread out his wings, then holds out his arms to both sides and starts screaming. White lightning appears, disappears and then reappears several times around his body. The ground quickly begins to shake and the ground under his feet crumbles. The lightning now has a constant presence instead of fading and appearing, and it dances around his fingertips. Celesta X remains calm during the confrontation while King Devimon was still screaming to keep his ki level increasing. Clouds of dust rise up in pockets all around him in the surrounding area. King Devimon goes lunging at Celesta X, but Celesta X leaps into the air and their fists meet halfway. She brings up her right arm and it is quickly shocked, sending out a powerful shockwave.
The two fighters start phasing and reappearing from all over the skies. King Devimon appears from right behind Celesta X. She turns around and gets smacked right in the face. She quickly phases out and reappears to throw a kick but misses. They both disappear again, and then King Devimon is racing towards Celesta X and vice versa, both screaming. Their fists collided and created another shockwave. Legs start flying and their knees both made contact with one another. Both lunge forward yet again and hit with more knee action. She throws a kick and nails King Devimon right in the face. He starts flying down towards the ground, manages to stop himself and bounces away against Celesta X, in hot pursuit. King Devimon gets his back up to a cliff side and Celesta goes flying forwards. At the very last second, King Devimon dodges and Celesta X flies into the rock. King Devimon slides back, and then takes a deep breath as Celesta X charges towards the demon. He exhales, breathing fire that leaves a scorched impact on the ground. He goes to repeat the attack, but Celesta X disappears. He goes again once she reappeared, but she appeared out once it hits. As soon as the flames start to dissipate, Celesta X reappears once again. She screams and swipes at King Devimon, but only hits an afterimage. She quickly gasps in shock.
"Over here, you fool!"
King Devimon already had his hand outstretched, but before Celesta X can even react, he throws a large red ki blast
"Die, mortal!"
She stares right at it in shock and throws out her arms, but it explodes as soon as it hits and she's thrown back. She slides through the dust as Omega X watches with a worried yet disappointed look on his face. Shintomon watches on and tries to keep a straight face, but couldn't help but gasp.
A rock explodes about halfway up and then right behind it, a splash of water rises around where Celesta X hit.
Dark Magimon giggles as he watches the ripped water through the crystal ball. He was now hoping for the fighter to have died already.
"Yes! One down!"
Celesta X lies on her back at the bottom of the lake.
"I let my guard down!"
He looks up and sees King Devimon's shadow over the surface of the water. She quickly stands.
"He's waiting to ambush me."
King Devimon stands at the water's edge with his arms crossed. He looks down at the lake. Celesta X forms two ki blasts, one in each hand, and throws them both up one right after the other. Both ki blasts rise out of the water in front of King Devimon and fly behind before circling around and hitting. He easily bats them away, one hitting rocks and the other landing back into the water. He suddenly spins around.
"Over there! I see you!"
He throws a huge red ki blast at the surface of the lake and Celesta X screams.
"Kari!" Omega X calls out.
Matt watches on silently with a mixture of anger and annoyance. Takato and Rika were now starting to worry.
The water splashes up around Celesta X's exit point, and a few yards above hit is Celesta X herself. She was now completely covered in smoke. King Devimon chuckles.
"Is that the best you can do, even after your power up?" the demon asked.
As soon as the smoke dissipates, Celesta X has her arms crossed to block the ki blast. She then lowers her guard.
"The King of Devimons is incredible!" said Shintomon, "He's at a much different class than Makuramon, Majiramon or any of the Devas."
Matt was now starting to become more visibly upset and annoyed during this whole battle. Rika was the first to notice this and keeps an eye on him.
"What's wrong, Rika?" Takato asked.
"Um, nothing. Nothing," she replied. "Man what's pissing him off?"
Celesta X quickly sheds off parts of her armor and manages to get some of that extra weight off of her.
"Damn it! I haven't been paying clear attention to this. But now its time for a change!"
King Devimon grins and quickly disappears, with Celesta X following suit. Both fighters were now quickly passing over towards one another in the skies, as they were moving at the speed of light. It then ends with both fighters colliding with one another with shockwaves starting to form. Suddenly, a trail of dust starts forming on the ground. Another chunk of rock starts to explode while King Devimon starts fading and reappearing at constant times in the dust cloud. He stops at a near cliff side, while Celesta X appears behind him. He spins around and they punch at each other right before they phased out once again. They reappear face to face over the water and strike each other repeatedly. Omega X starts following the battle from above, as his eyes start darting back and forth across the landscape.
"Your not doing it right, Kari. If you attack like that, it's too easy for him to read your movements!" Omega X said.
"Not looking good, Matt," replied Metal Garurumon.
"What's a damn waste!" Matt said, "They both have forgotten the basics of fighting."
Suddenly, a line of water rises up and finally ends in a huge splash, with a smaller splash in the middle of the area when someone actually hit the water. King Devimon lands next to the water's edge and Celesta X hovers above the lake as the water falls. A smile forms across the fusion warrior.
"Not yet, my friend."
King Devimon grins. He quickly turns around and waves off Celesta X. This manages to infuriate Celesta X as she charges up her ki level and flies towards him.
"Here I go!"
Soon as she said that, King Devimon spins back around and shoots out a spray from his mouth.
"Hikari! Watch out! He's going to turn you into stone!"
She suddenly stops and throws up her arms in defense, and the spray hits her hand. She gasps and rips off her glove. She throws it down onto the ground as it lands right in front of King Devimon. It cracks and partially shatters while the demon watches on. Celesta X smiles, opening and closing her fingers on her bare hand. She wipes her forehead in relief.
"Whew! That was a close one!"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Calumon was starting to get exhausted while running around the barren landscape after being chased by the Dogmon a little earlier. He falls down onto the ground with a thirsty look on his face.
"Oh, I'm so tired and thirsty. That mean ol' Dogmon chasing me really burned me out! Digimon these days aren't that nice…"
As soon as he was laying face first on the ground, he heard a motorcycle pass by and looked up to see who had stopped right in front of him. It was none other than Beelzebumon himself. Calumon sits up and speaks up.
"Hey? Where are you heading off? I need some help for finding a couple of my friends. I lost them after a mean ol' Dogmon chased me. Then me getting kidnapped by that mean ol' monkey, Makuramon, and now I just. But could you help me find Takato and Guilmon? Please…"
Beelzebumon simply looks down at him with a lifeless look on his face. He quickly drives off leaving Calumon behind. The little digimon hacked from the exhaust smoke and started running around.
"I can't believe all the digimon here are mean. Culu. All I ever needed was a favor and he just left me out in the cold. I just hope Takato and Guilmon find me before I become a snack for a hungry digimon…"
***************************************************************************************
[Kid Rock "American Badass" plays]
Far off from the distance, Beelzebumon was riding through the landscape on the motorcycle as an evil sneer comes across his face. He had just remembered what Calumon told him as the names 'Guilmon' and 'Takato' started coming back to his mind.
"Takato! Guilmon! Bah! I can't believe such a cream puff digimon would still be crying for losing those two losers in the first place! But the more I think about it. It gives me more motivation to kill them! Yeah. That's what I'm planning to do. I'll put that pineapple head right out of his misery! But first, I think I'll gather myself some data. And lookie what we got here."
As soon as he stopped, he parked his motorcycle alongside a cliff side and hops off. He looks over towards what seemed to be a swarm of digimon of some sorts. More like a swarm of bugs. Beelzebumon faced them and pulled out two guns.
"Alright! You guys better wake up! Cause I've got a little deal for you. You either surrender yourselves to me or I'll you're asses! What's it going to be?! Huh?!"
They replied to his question as they all started flying towards him. But Beelzebumon reacted by pulling on the triggers on his guns.
"Fine! Try my Double Impact!"
Just as soon as he pulled the triggers, several slow-moving bullets came flying out from the guns and towards the swarms that were surrounding him. One swarm was quickly deleted just before the bullets could even reach them, as if they were already hit. Beelzebumon spins around to the other side and shoots out another swarm with his 'Double Impact' and watched as they all exploded into data.
"Ha! This is too easy!"
Just far off from the area, Calumon was sitting on the ground while walking along. Just then, the crystal on his forehead started to glow.
Right when Beelzebumon was going to attack with his 'Double Impact' he watched as several swarms started to glow and merge together to become a large digimon known as Infermon.
"Hmm. Well. Well. They all managed to merge and digivolve together to become Infermon."
"Spider Shooter!"
With that said, the massive insect shot out several impact shots over at Beelzebumon. But just as they connected, a huge dust cloud formed and Beelzebumon comes jumping out with his claws extracted. He easily manages to claw his way right through him. Infernmon quickly exploded into data and Beelzebumon happily takes in the data as if it were a gift being given to him. He starts laughing maniacally as a result.
"Yes! Come to poppa! Soon, I will absorb all digimon that come in my way and nothing will stop me from becoming the most powerful being! Nothing! Ha! Ha!"
"That is enough," a voice called out.
"Huh? Chatsuramon!"
Beelzebumon looks up towards the dog deva with a grin on his face. The Deva growled angrily and pointed his head out towards another direction.
"Stop wasting time. I have found the location of Dark Magimon's ship! It's over past the desolate mountain ridge from this location. You must go out and kill the humans that are taking part in the three stages. I do believe the ones that you are looking for are there as we speak."
"Takato? Pineapple head? Yes. I can sense their location, especially Guilmon's ki. Good. Good. Those two are really going to pay for what they have done to me. They hurt my pride and now its revenge. I won't rest until I absorb Guilmon and I'll deal with his human partner afterwards. Lead the way, Chatsuramon. Somebody is going to pay the piper and that somebody is that damn human! Lets go!"
Beelzebumon hops back onto his bike and then starts it up. He puts the pedal to the metal, so to speak, and follows Chatsuramon along the way towards the location of Dark Magimon's ship. A sadistic grin comes across Beelzebumon's face as the sheer though of killing Takato and the other Tamers was racing towards his mind.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third level stage. Planet Hades.
The two fighters were still pummeling one another as King Devimon was starting to take advantage over Celesta X once again. King Devimon punches as Celesta X screams out. Then they separate. They adopt fighting poses at about the same time and stare each other down while the others watch.
"Wow, King Devimon is a lot stronger than I thought," said Omega X.
"Hmph. She should be able to defeat King Devimon! What a fool. She was a lot stronger than this when she was a teenager."
Omega X quickly hits his forehead and sighs in disbelief.
"Oh yeah. She's really been slacking off…"
"She's starting to piss me off with these games! She's merely toying with King Devimon! Metalla X could beat him within a heartbeat," exclaimed Matt.
King Devimon suddenly looks down towards Matt and a grin forms across his face.
"Mistake number one!" [Rob Zombie "Never Gonna Stop Me!" plays]
As soon as he turned around, Celesta X charges forward and nails a fist to King Devimon's face. He goes flying back, and then catches himself and a sword appears in his hands.
"Taste my Demon Blade!"
He races forward and swings right at her. Celesta X gasps.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon watches on happily through his crystal ball.
"Ooo! Did you kill him yet?!"
King Devimon chuckles but then gasps at what he saw. A few blonde hairs fall into the water below. Celesta X looks up and smiles, and they jump away a few feet apart.
"Damn it! What are you doing, King Devimon?" Dark Magimon asked frantically, "You're going to hurt him a lot more than that! If only D-Reaper was resurrected, then they wouldn't bother me at all."
***************************************************************************************
King Devimon charged forward screaming while dragging his sword through the water. Celesta X flies backwards while facing King Devimon, so that they always remain the same distance apart. King Devimon lunges forward and swings, but she manages to jump back. The sword hits the water and the force of it sends a straight line of water into a rock, which causes it to crumble. King Devimon swings, but Celesta X dodges. Another swing, another dodge. Celesta X lands behind him and he spins around, swinging. She jumps away and lands on a nearby rock cliff, and King Devimon leaps towards her. The rocks crumble when Celesta X jumped away and King Devimon collides. He swings again and she ducks, then Celesta X spins around and to the right, and King Devimon swings again hitting more rocks. She dodges again and flies backwards with King Devimon following.
Celesta X has his back to a rock ledge. King Devimon swings and she barely dodges. The sword lodges itself in the rock next to her face. King Devimon tries again, hitting the other side. Shintomon and the Tamers watch in amazement while Matt could only watch with impatience.
"That damned Kari."
King Devimon swings and cuts cleanly through some more rocks, and when they fall the group see that Celesta X barely was able to dodge. She's laying on her back in mid-air, just under the sword's path. King Devimon finally jumps up with his sword over his head and comes down right over Celesta X. She charges her ki, holds her hands up and catches the sword. King Devimon struggles to break the grip with his eyes widening and his teeth clenching. As their kis' fight against one another, they send off small shockwaves that were visible only in the waves of water they send up, as the two are hovering just over the water. She fights against the sword, slowly pushing it up. King Devimon pushes, almost forming that of an aura himself. Celesta X screams and finally tears the blade off in half.
"What?!"
Both fighters separate and their auras quickly vanish. The water begins to settle while King Devimon discards his broken sword and Celesta X throws the blade away. It lands on the ground several yards away from the group, glows white and disappears… Matt taps his shoulders and then stomps his foot down.
"Damn it, she's really annoying me!"
Omega X watches in curiosity and Shintomon angrily looks over to Matt. The Tamers were now beginning to grow weary of Matt.
"That's it! Metal Garurumon and I are going to finish him off ourselves!"
"Don't," exclaimed Omega X, "Let her fight. She hasn't completely lost it."
"King Devimon is toying with her! I don't care about this foolishness!"
King Devimon looks down towards matt and a small grin forms across his face. An idea was quickly racing across his mind.
"I want to end this as soon as possible and for the others to find that fucking Calumon, so we can get back home and I can go back to my normal life! No scratch that! I want my fucking fight with you, Tai. We still haven't settled the score since out first adventures in the Digital World."
"Ugh, haven't we gone through this a dozen times already?"
"He's starting to become a jerk," Rika said.
"I agree!" replied Takato, "I've never seen anybody so obsessed."
"He's need to momentai," said Guilmon.
"Quiet. Lets just listen to what he has to say," stated Renamon.
"C'mon, Tai! You chicken? Lets settle this like old times! War Greymon and Metal Garurumon didn't get to finish their fight last time. TK and Kari just had to stop us. C'mon, just think! Omega X against Metalla X, to prove just who's the strongest! I'm not here for family reunions with your younger sister! I'm here to win!"
King Devimon grins, which throws Celesta X off. The demon drops his fighting stance and goes to send a telepathic message to Dark Magimon.
"Master Magimon. Please bring us back to the ship. I have made an important discovery."
"A discovery, King Devimon?" asked Dark Magimon like looking into his crystal ball.
"One that will resurrect D-Reaper."
Dark Magimon's eyes quickly widen at the thought.
"Wh… What?! Is that true, King Devimon?!"
"Yes, sir."
"You need me to bring you back to the ship?"
"Yes."
"Very well, then."
As soon as he said that, the evil sorcerer holds out his hand over the crystal ball and shouts out his magic spell.
"PARAPATA!"
Quickly after that, King Devimon appears in the air over the room's floor. Celesta X appears at the opposite side of her adversary and her back collides with a wall.
"What?! What are we doing back here?" asked Takato.
"I don't get this," said Rika, "Why would we return back after the fight was becoming so close?"
"I can't believe that we're back," said Omega X.
Shintomon looks around the room in shock and was just as confused as the others.
"What does this mean?"
King Devimon lands and starts to walk back right towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you running off to?" Celesta X asked frantically, "Are you chickening out already?"
"Run? Oh no. I just don't need to lower myself by fighting you anymore."
The demon turns around grinning. Everyone else looks over towards him with surprise.
"I've found the perfect warrior to fight you instead."
Matt and Metal Garurumon stare over towards King Devimon silently, while the demon chuckles with the door closing behind him.
"Hey! Get back here!" Celesta X cried out.
Shintomon begins to think to himself.
"The perfect warrior to fight us? What does that mean?"
**************************************************************************************

Moments later, King Devimon appears behind Dark Magimon. The sorcerer puts away his crystal ball and speaks up to the enslaved demon.
"What are you up to, King Devimon? It had better be a good discovery."
He looks back over his shoulder and turns to face King Devimon. The demon steps forward to begin explaining his discovery.
"You'd better not have become afraid of those digimon and their humans to come back and hide here."
"The King of Devimons fears nothing, though, I was a little surprised by that warrior's abilities."
"I hope so. Now, tell me about your discovery."
"One of the humans has a very evil heart despite inheriting the power of friendship. He should be evil enough for you to get him on our side."
The sorcerer's face quickly begins to light up at the sound of this plan and was beginning to jump for joy as if it were New Years.
"I see! We don't have to do anything except make them fight amongst themselves, and we'll take their energy! If we can do that…"
"We can resurrect the D-Reaper."
Dark Magimon starts giggling and spins around dancing happily.
"We did it, King Devimon! We did it! Here comes da Reaper! Here comes da Reaper! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
*************************************************************************************
Back at the third stage level, the Tamer and Destined group await with each person beginning to question to know who would have been the perfect warrior chosen to fight them next. Shintomon felt confident that there wasn't anybody more powerful than King Devimon and was slowly beginning to think the demon was just merely bluffing.
Everyone was confused and questioning to what King Devimon had just said, but Matt stood there with an annoyed look on his face.
Who is this perfect warrior that King Devimon was talking about? Was he really bluffing or is he telling the truth? Or is the real enemy lurking from within the group?! And what kind of an impact will Beelzebumon have once he reaches over to the ship?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Metalla X Possessed by Evil! The Fated Battle: Omega X vs. Metalla X!
Dark Magimon's ship. Third Level Stage.
The landscape around the ship of Dark Magimon was just as barren as ever, but there were two statues standing along the cliff side looking down towards the ship itself.
A little breeze blows up dust around Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon's statues just outside of Dark Magimon's ship.
Inside, Celesta X and the rest of the group were all standing around, waiting for this "perfect warrior" that King Devimon happened to mention just a while ago. Everyone was standing silent.
"King Devimon, why did the demon retreat from the battle? King Devimon never has retreated in any kind of a battle," Shintomon said to himself, "Something is not right here and who is this perfect warrior he speaks of?"
"Just what is he thinking?" asked Celesta X.
"No! You're the one who needs to do some thinking!" exclaimed Matt.
"Huh? What do you mean," Celesta X turned around to face Matt.
Matt stands there with his arms crossed while looking over towards Celesta X with a very annoyed look on his face. He angrily glared to Celesta X. He uncrosses his arms and walks up to Celesta X with Metal Garurumon following his side.
"How could you let a fight with someone that weak drag on for so long? You're supposed to be a member of the fusion warrior elite, just as Azulongmon had told us. The only way a fight should end is when one of you are to die."
He points his finger over her as if he were pointing the finger and blaming it all on her.
"You're too gentle, Kari! You and your talk of justice and fighting fair make me sick! A real fighter doesn't think things like that! A fight should be the ultimate test of strength! The strong live, and the weak die! Strength if everything, whether it be solo or team work."
"Hey, you better watch your mouth! At least she has a heart when it comes to battles and its helped Guilmon and I win through many battles against those Devas!" Takato exclaimed.
"Butt out, boy! This is Digi-Destined business! You and that red head shouldn't even be here! You're just standing in our way! Now where was I?"
Takato was infuriated by Matt's unadjusted attitude yet was starting to feel sorry for Kari having to put up with Matt's outbursts. Rika looked over at Matt angrily and turned away.
"Don't worry about him, Rika. He's the problem anyway."
"Yeah, but I know a jerk when I see one."
Matt clenches his fist. Celesta X glares at him for a few seconds before her expression softened.
"But… Matt…"
"Look at Davis and Ken for instance! They were to turn stone because they're weak! Hmph! Serves them right for getting into our business!"
Celesta X starts to get really angry at what Matt had just said about her two friends, but then starts to think about what he had just said.
"He's right! If I had defeated King Devimon, then Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon would have been brought back to normal."
As soon as she speaks, she starts to envision each of them in their new statue forms. She then lowers her head in shame.
"Oh give her a break, Matt," Omega X said, "Kari was doing the best that she could."
Matt turns to face Omega X and points over towards him with an angry look.
"I thought I told you, I want this playing around to end so that I can settle things with you. You owe me a fight and I can't forget that!"
Just then, Metal Garurumon starts to form a ki blast from his mouth and points down over towards the bottom of the ship. Matt turns around and gives him a nod.
"Damn it! I don't care anymore! I'm through with this playing around," Matt exclaimed, "I don't care about Dark Magimon or D-Reaper! Metal Garurumon is going to vaporize this ship and finish this!"
Just then, Shintomon goes stepping forward and runs over to Matt. He then steps right in front of Metal Garurumon.
"Don't do it, Yamato! If you do that, then you'll resurrect D-Reaper!"
The blonde-haired young man stands there and does not reply to the Supreme guardian's words.
"D-Reaper is a monster who lives only for death and destruction! Four Supreme Guardians weren't able to stand up against him! You don't know D-Reaper! He's pure evil!"
Matt looks right up and gives Shintomon a death glare.
"Shut up!"
"If D-Reaper is resurrected, all human and digital life- no everything in the three worlds- will end! The two Digital Worlds will become a giant wasteland, the same goes for Earth!"
"I said shut up!"
Metal Garurumon directs his ki away from the floor and over towards Shintomon as if he were protecting his partner, Matt. That's what he was exactly doing right about now. Shintomon gasps, shrinks back but doesn't retreat.
"I don't care how many people or digimon die! I don't care!"
"No! You're not that kind of person, Yamato! Your just talking nonsense! I know it! You don't have that kind of mentality! Quit this bullshit!"
Suddenly, Omega X phases out and reappears right in front of Metal Garurumon, which causes the metallic wolf to stop. Matt looks up growling over at Omega X.
"Calm down, Matt!"
"Tai! You better stay out of this!"
Matt clenches his fists and has his eyes locked onto Omega X as if he were about to strangle him, but knew that he couldn't since Omega X would easily cream him.
Omega X looks sternly over to matt, who was now starting to lower his fists and keeping his composure to himself. He lowers his hand as if telling Metal Garurumon to stop his ki. Matt turns around and has his back towards Omega X. Shintomon sighs with relief.
"This is getting odd," Renamon said.
"Yes, he had the perfect opportunity to get the energy to resurrect the D-Reaper," Shintomon said, "Why did King Devimon leave?"
Omega X looks towards the ground and then speaks up once again.
"I don't know. He had he'd found the perfect warrior so that he wouldn't have to fight."
Shintomon looks up and then looks around towards each and every one of his companions. He turned to face towards Omega X. Then he turns to face Celesta X. He turns around to look over towards the Tamers and their digimon. Finally, he was able to turn right over towards Matt and Metal Garurumon. As soon as he looked over to Matt, he gasped to himself.
"No! I can't be! Did he actually find the perfect warrior?! Could Yamato be the one?!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was laughing hysterically while looking over the Tamer and Destined group through his crystal ball. He sets his sights on Matt instead of the entire group.
"You're right, he is really different from the rest of them!"
The sorcerer looks over his shoulder and faces towards King Devimon.
"Its just like you said. He may not want to admit it, but some portions of his heart is evil!"
Dark Magimon turns all the way around, hitting one palm with his other fist, and then goes back to the crystal ball.
"He didn't even come here for any righteousness."
"Yes, master. That is correct."
"You did a great job, King Devimon. Brilliant work!"
"We can make them fight each other, and with the energy that we take from them, we're sure to be able to resurrect D-Reaper."
Dark Magimon giggles at the sheer thought of his father's creation being brought back to life once again to wreck havoc upon the multi-universes.
"I'm going to use you!"
The sorcerer thrusts his palms over the crystal ball and blue dots of light start to fly towards Matt's image. Dark Magimon's eyes widened and a bright ball of light expands out from the center of the crystal ball, slowly enveloping Matt's picture. Dark Magimon screams, and soon the entire crystal ball is brightly glowing a light pinkish and white light. King Devimon has a huge grin on his face. The entire room is bathed in the light now. King Devimon shields his face from the light.
***************************************************************************************
Back over in the third stage room, Matt is singled out from the group and starts to feel really uneasy from the inside as if somebody were entering his body and possessing him. He felt a dark energy consuming him from within which caused him to quickly react to the pain. His eyes widened and he cries out in surprise. Matt falls down onto his knees and clutches his head. Metal Garurumon takes notice of this first.
"Matt! What's wrong?! Why am I detecting a dark presence from within you?"
"You guys! Help!"
The others looked over and gasped in shock. They all ran over towards their fallen comrade, while Matt's breathing was getting labored and he sounds like as if he were about to regurgitate.
"Matt!" Celesta X cried out.
"We've got to help him," said Takato.
"I sense something dark entering his body," replied Renamon.
"Dark? Like what? What's getting to him?" Rika asked frantically.
Omega X and Shintomon look up and were shocked beyond belief. Matt throws his head back and lets out a bloody curling scream. The others watch on from a few feet away, with confused yet terrified looks on their faces. Matt stumbles around, while holding onto his head. Veins were now visible around his forehead and looked as though his face was about to explode.
"DAMN IT!"
"No! I was afraid that something like this was going to happen!" Shintomon exclaimed, "I should have seen this one coming! And I thought this would have happened to Rika instead."
"What are you talking about?" asked Takato.
"What would have happened to me? This would have happened to me?!" the red-haired girl asked, "But what is happening to him?!"
Matt shakes his head, still holding it with his hands. He screams again but with a more murderous tone to it, which brought chills down the spines of ever individual within the room, including Omega X. Suddenly, he and Metal Garurumon threw their heads back and were enveloped into a metallic blue aura. They quickly merged together into Metalla X. He screams, steps forward and clenches his fists tightly.
"Shintomon, what the hell is going on?! What is happening to Matt," asked Omega X.
The Supreme guardian simply ignored him and was looking on with sheer terror on his face.
"Snap out of it, Matt!" Shintomon cried out, "Dark Magimon trying to summon the evil from you're heart!"
"Dark Magimon is trying to unleash his evil?" Celesta X asked, "But that can't be! He's not even evil!"
"Wrong. He has at least a fraction of darkness within his heart. Dark Magimon is going to charm his evil over Yamato as we speak."
"I don't believe this!" exclaimed Takato, "So, he's the warrior that King Devimon has found?!"
Metalla X crouches on the ground, while clenching his teeth and fists tightly. His eyes were now completely shut. Sparks and electric bolts were flowing through his charged up body. Shintomon goes over to approach him.
"Yamato, empty your mind! Don't think anything!"
"Idiot! How am I supposed to do that?!"
Metalla X grabs his head once again and lets out a horrifying scream of terror.
***************************************************************************************
"This is great! He now belongs to me!" exclaimed Dark Magimon.
The sorcerer stares over at both Shintomon and Metalla X through his crystal ball.
"Now to bring forth his inner power and allow him to surpass his limits!" Dark Magimon said.
Dark Magimon screams again and the ball begins glowing like there was no tomorrow. A bolt of lightning passes through it.
***************************************************************************************
Red bolts start bouncing around Metalla X, which causes a frightened Shintomon to step away as far as he could. Celesta X follows suit. Everyone watches Metalla X in complete shock. Metalla X hovers a few inches above the ground now, standing straight up, his head thrown back as he screams yet again.
"This is not good! I can't believe this!" exclaimed Takato.
Metalla X rises a few feet into the air and blinds the room for a moment with a bright flash of light. He suddenly stops screaming for a few moments to say the least. He clenches his teeth and his screams fade into a deep, monstrous growl. He's now several yard above the ground and sends out red electricity in on each side.
"My god! What a horrible and terrifying power! Its horrible!"Omega X thought.
"No! Matt! You can't let the darkness win!"Celesta X said in thought.
Metalla X once again has his head thrown back in a deep howl. Celesta X goes running forward to try to save her friend.
"Hang on, Matt! Please fight the darkness!"
Suddenly, a bolt struck Celesta X. The devastating force sends the holy warrior flying across the room.
"Kari!"
Celesta X manages to slowly sit up from the hard impact and looks back over towards the ever so powerful Metalla X.
"Matt!"
With his power increasing like never before, the entire ship starts shaking. Shintomon looks around in terror. Metalla X howls and the ship begins to send out monstrous shockwaves. Outside, there were small rocks lift out from the ground and hover into the air. Further from the ship itself, larger rocks are all pushed out from the surface. Metalla X's howls were now heard echoing from throughout the Digital World, enough to even bring some of the most powerful digimon falling down onto their knees.
**************************************************************************************
The Central Digi-Verse. The Grand Digital Planet
A masked fighter was seen looking out from his guard post. This masked fighter is none other than X. He turns and feels a powerful ki increasing rapidly. He recognized the ki within a nanosecond and calls over to a girl with strawberry blonde-hair.
"Keke! Do you feel that?"
"Yeah! That's my dad! What's happening to him?!"
"It seems that little worm, Magimon, is using his magic to release the darkness within Matt's heart! If he manages to recruit Matt to the forces of darkness, then the guys will be unable to stop Magimon from unleashing the D-Reaper! This is terrible and just when we came this close! Damn it!"
Keke pressed her hands against her chest and felt her heart beating fast. She has never felt this hurt since the time Burizalor murdered Matt. Those were many years ago since then. She couldn't bear to witness her own father killing other innocent souls.
"Father… Please, don't let the darkness consume… If only I could help you, then you can overcome Magimon's spell…"
X kept his attention on how the situation takes from here. He would then inform Keke on the progression of the controversial mess.
***************************************************************************************
Else within the Digital World
There was a loud motor coming from the outskirts of the barren landscape within the Digital World. Something with a very high ki level was heading towards the location of Dark Magimon's ship. It was a rather, very powerful ki and it belonged to the digimon formerly known as Impmon.
A cruel smile was forming across the face of Beelzebumon as he was setting off towards the location of the ship. Now this was his chance to get back at Takato and Guilmon for humiliating him back on earth.
"Oh yeah! I can sense their power levels from here. It's them alright, but they're with some other fighters. Wow, one of them has a power that's increasing like no other. I wonder who this fighter could be. Well, it doesn't matter. It's that goggle boy and his pineapple headed friend that I'm hunting for. Wait till they get a good look at the new and improved Impmon. Feel the wrath of Beelzebumon."
As soon as he thought that, he pushed on the gas and sped off faster than ever before and wanted to make it over towards the ship as fast as possible. Nothing was going to slow him down, not even the frightening power of Metalla X. This was Beelzebumon's chance at gaining revenge on both Guilmon and Takato.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third Stage level.
The ever-growing screams of Metalla X were continuing to echo throughout the ship, which brought chills down the spines of every single individual that was within the room. Omega X tried to keep his cool and clam composure but to no avail. Even, he had fear flowing through every single inch of his body.
Metalla X's eyes are shut tightly and his teeth clenched while screams were ringing out. Omega X and Shintomon both threw their arms up in defense, and then Omega X looks back up.
"I don't believe his strength!" exclaimed Omega X, "Watch out!"
"That damned Magimon!"Shintomon cursed to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon giggles with a crazed look on his face while throwing out his arms over the crystal ball and screaming. The entire room starts to go dark. The lightning stopped showering over the orb.
**************************************************************************************
Back in the other room, Metalla X's aura disappears as he falls down onto the ground, still in his fusion form. He collapses and the others go gasping.
"Matt! Are you al right?! Speak to us!" Celesta X cried out.
Metalla X crouches on the ground while quivering to himself. He was unable to get up onto his feet. Omega X manages to take a cautious step towards Metalla X.
"Matt!"
There was no response from the quivering Metalla X.
"Matt!"
Omega X slowly goes approaching Metalla X, but Shintomon jumps in his way.
"Taichi! Don't! Stay away from him!"
Everyone stops completely and Shintomon looks right over towards Metalla X for a minute.
"No. We're too late."
"It can't be!" exclaimed Takato.
"Takatomon, I'm sensing a great darkness from him now. He's under Magimon's control. This is not looking good and he's stronger than myself and Renamon now," said Guilmon.
"Matt… This can't be happening!" Omega X said under his breath.
Metalla X slowly rises up onto his feet. But instead of quivering in pain, there was a slight grin forming across his face. As soon as he tilted his head up, he was grinning like a crazed maniac and there was a 'D' marking right on his forehead. He began cackling maniacally as the D marking glowed a crimson red.
**************************************************************************************
Down at the southern region of the Digital World
Buddamon was leading his group right through the desolate landscape. They were lucky enough to get truck by another digital beam and were sent down into the southern region.
Suddenly, Buddamon stopped at his tracks and was able to pick up the increasing power level that was coming from none other than Metalla X. His eyes started to widen in fear and shock.
"No! That's impossible! Its as we feared!"
"Huh? What is it, Buddamon?" asked TK, "What's going on?"
Patamon started to frown, as he was able to pick up the same energy signal as Buddamon. Soon, every single digimon were able to pick up the power reading.
"Wow. This power level is huge! Nothing I've felt before," Terriermon said, "Henry. It looks like Dark Magimon was able to turn one of our friends onto his side with his dark magic."
"What?!"
"Yes and its just as we feared. That individual could have the sole power to even destroy the whole Digital World."
"But, who is it? Don't leave us in total suspense! Tell us who!" Kazu exclaimed.
"I hope that its not Takato or Rika," said Jeri.
"No, it's not even those two," Leomon said, "Its somebody from the Digi-Destined team."
Suddenly, TK's eyes widened as he finally came to the conclusion to the one individual that could have let the power of darkness take over their soul completely. TK looked over towards Buddamon.
"Its Matt! Its gotta be him!"
The entire group gasped in shock as they looked up to the skies above and there radical lightning started to form. The digimon were shaking underneath their boots, except Leomon and Buddamon.
"That energy. It's frightening. I've never felt such a power," said Leomon, "His ki even far surpasses our own."
"I just hope there's somebody strong enough to stop him. They can't let Dark Magimon win! We should have seen this one coming. We were completely unaware of the fact one of the children could have had a bit of darkness within their hearts."
"And I first thought it was going to be Ken, but Patamon had told me that he couldn't feel his or Wormmon's energy signal. So the second possible candidate was my brother. I can't believe that this is happening! We have to go and stop him!"
Just as TK was about to head off, Buddamon calls out to him, which caused the blonde-haired young man to stop at his tracks.
"We can't find Calumon without you. There are hidden dangers that maybe strong and out of our control. You're the only one that is able to fuse with your digimon partner. We just might never know about the dangers out here within the Digital World. Besides, I am positive that your friends will stop him and talk some reason into your brother."
"Well, alright. I do believe that my brother can fight off the darkness and I hope Tai can knock some sense into him. But I just worry for the safety of my own family, especially Kari. She's out there and I don't want to see her get hurt."
"TK, let it go," Henry said, "Kari is a pretty resourceful girl. She can handle herself. Besides, she has her brother with her and there's possible way that Metalla X can fight them all on by himself, even if he was influenced by Dark Magimon's powers. Please, TK. As soon as we find Calumon, we can go back and stop Dark Magimon."
TK stood there for a few moments while looking down to the ground. The thought of his own brother killing off his friends and Kari getting hurt was running through his mind. He finally snapped out of his trance and looks back over to the group.
"Ok. What are we waiting for? We got Calumon to find. Lets go do our part and let the others handle their situation."
They all nodded and continued their walk through the landscape. TK catches up to them and was now trying to keep his focus on Calumon rather than his brother and friends at the moment. But it was very hard not to ignore.
"Kari. Please I hope you and the others can talk sense into him. You have to stop him or else he'll go out of control. It's hard to reason with him. Tai, only you are able to do that. Please, do everything you can to stop him…"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's Ship. Third-Level Stage
Back over at the ship, a light wind blows across the landscape outside of the gigantic underground ship.
Inside, Metalla X stands before everyone as a grin formed across his face. He looks over towards the group.
"Matt!" Omega X called out.
"Matt! Please snap out of it!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"I don't believe it!" Shintomon cried out, "Magimon did this just so we'd fight each other!"
"So, are you saying that Matt is against us now?" Takato asked frantically.
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
Metalla X screams and begins charging up his ki once again, looking at the entire group of his 'former' friends with a huge grin on his face. Shintomon and the others simply look over at him in complete shock.
**************************************************************************************
The Grand Digital Planet
X turns to face Keke with a look of disdain. The girl easily read his expression like an open book and shed tears.
"Oh, father… Why? Why did you let that bastard take control of you? No! You're better than that! Fight the dark magic, father! You have to!"
*************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was giggling at the sight of Metalla X facing off against his entire group of 'former' friends.
"Way to go! This is exactly how I planned it," said Dark Magimon, "Lets see them fight somewhere interesting."
The dark sorcerer quickly throws out his arms over his crystal ball and was able to use his magic powers to transport them once again like before.
"PARAPATA!"
**************************************************************************************
As soon as he said that, the entire room was starting to transform and the whole group look a look at their surroundings. They were all beginning to wonder where Dark Magimon was going to send them off this time around.
"Now what? Where are we going now?" pondered Rika.
"Looks like he's going to make us fight somewhere else," replied Renamon.
Just then, a light faded away and the background around the fighters looked like that of a large arena. A huge crowd was roaring with a loud ovation. The group all looked around and saw a large crowd of digimon in the stands and the arena looked a bit like Etemon's old arena back in the first adventures.
"We're in a arena of some sorts. An arena full of digimon!" said Takato.
"Are we still somewhere within the digital world, Shintomon?" Celesta X asked.
"Yes. This is where the competition between the strongest digimon take place and it looks like the crowd is thinking that this was an impromptu match of some sort."
"But we're not supposed to be involved in an impromptu match!" Omega X exclaimed.
"That's not the way that they see it," replied the Supreme guardian.
"Whoa! What do we have here? Looks like we got ourselves some sort of match," said the ring announcer, which happened to be a Pumpkinmon, "I'm sorry, you looks look like in great condition. But there's always next time. What do you say?"
"We're just here for a little exhibition match," replied Metalla X.
"We'll that's nice but you know the rules. The show is about to close, but remember you can always come back next time."
As soon as the Pumpkinmon was about to make his move across the stage, Metalla X looks across ahead towards the group and he lets out a terrifying scream. A huge golden aura of light comes shooting out and the force of caused the Pumpkinmon to fly backwards. Celesta X was able to catch him in time. The crowd was now beginning to eat it up as if it were apart of the show itself and were giving a standing ovation.
"Ah! Don't they realize that this is no show!" Omega X exclaimed.
"It is to them and it is definitely to me," Metalla X replied with a cold tone in his voice.
It was now obvious that Metalla X was completely under control and has taken to the side of evil. A disgusted look came across Omega X's face.
"Hey! This is better than any normal competition. That guy just blew those others away as if they were flies," said a Numemon.
"I can tell that he is pretty strong from the ki I'm sensing from him," said Roachmon.
"Lets give them the standing ovation that they truly deserve!" called out a Monzaemon.
"Ugh! They are nothing but fools. Don't they realize that this is not a show," said Renamon.
"Forget about them, Renamon. We got more important issues as we speak," Rika replied.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon watches on with a huge grin on his face and then begins rubbing his chin, while thinking to himself.
"What was his name? Oh yeah, Yamato! That's it! Yamato, this is your new master speaking! Take their energy! Fight as hard as you want! You can even kill them if you want to!"
**************************************************************************************
Just then, Metalla X stands his ground and begins speaking to Dark Magimon through his mind but he manages to speak out loud to make sure everyone hears to what he was saying.
"Shut up! I only want to fight Tai! The others mean nothing to me!"
"Matt! How could you?" Omega X angrily cries out.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was stunned beyond belief at the way Metalla X has rebelled against him. This has never happened to the evil sorcerer before and this was considered something surprising.
"I-I don't believe it! He isn't completely under my control! This is the first time that has ever happened! Well, I guess it doesn't matter."
***************************************************************************************
Suddenly, something had broken through a door at the side of the arena itself. A loud motor was heard and the crowd all turned to see none other than Beelzebumon with a sneer on his face. The group turned around to face him.
"Just who the hell is that?!" Rika called out.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the two Tamers and their pet digimon!" Beelzebumon said as he came getting off of his motorcycle.
"I've never seen a digimon like him before, but I can sense that he has a tremendously high ki level!" Celesta X said.
[Kid Rock "American Badass" plays]
Beelzebumon comes walking across the middle of the arena. He was looking mainly towards the Tamers themselves.
"Get back, Tamers! I can sense that he was given power from the Digimon Sovereign himself!" Shintomon calls out.
"The Digimon who?" asked Takato.
"I should have told you this but it was Dark Magimon that I had my main focus on. He's the digimon guardian of the south. Digi-Destined, you might know the guardian of the southern quadrant of your Digital World."
"Yeah! It's Zhuqiaomon! But could there be another on in this Digital World?" asked Celesta X.
"Yes, exactly. This digimon was given power from that particular Sovereign."
"That's right. But I'm only here for two reasons. Want me to lay the ground rules? Fine. I want only the two Tamers and their digimon. That's all I care about."
"We'll you're going to have to get by us first!" Guilmon exclaimed.
"Oh is that so, pineapple head? Well just see who the tough guy is! And that goes for you too, fox face!"
Renamon gasps under her breath after what Beelzebumon had just said. She peers closely over towards the dark digimon and begins to detect a familiar presence from him.
"Wait. I can recognize that ki. And the way he just called me fox face. Can it really be him?!"
Rika pulls out her D-Ark and a hologram image of Beelzebumon is shown with his statistics.
[Beelzebumon. Mega Level. Special Attacks: Darkness Claw and Double Impact.]
"His name is Beelzebumon and he's a mega level," Rika said, "Goggle head, we better take him."
"Right!"
"Meanwhile, we'll try to talk some sense into Matt," said Omega X, "It won't be easy but who said it was ever easy?"
"So, are you two ready to be cremated at the hands of yours truly after I'm done with ya," the biker said.
"Can it really be you? Impmon?!"
Rika and Takato both gasped at what Renamon had just said, but Guilmon was even more shocked by the revelation.
"Impmon?! Bah! That loser doesn't exist anymore! I am now Beelzebumon! Mega digimon extraordinaire!"
"Impmon! I can't believe its really you! But why did you sell you soul to the Sovereign?" asked Renamon.
"Why? Why?! I'll tell you why! I needed the power to digivolve and I will do anything for it. Even if it means that I sell my own soul. The Impmon that you used to know is gone forever. I'm Beelzebumon. And I got a job to do, so make it easy for yourselves and surrender before me."
"Impmon! Don't do this!" Renamon calls out.
"Shut up! I'll kill you both! Lets fight!"
"Renamon! He isn't Impmon anymore. We better take him now!"
"I hate to admit it, but you're right. Lets go!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Rika quickly pulls out a card from her pocket and slashes it through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
Evolution!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Renamon shinka! Kyuubimon!"
"Guilmon! Its our turn!"
"I'm with you!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
The goggle boy pulls out his evolution card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"
Evolution!
"Guilmon shinka! Growlmon!"
"Ha! Is that the best you two losers got? Well it makes it much easier for me to kill you, load your data and make myself the most powerful being in the Digital World!"
"Impmon! Please listen to reason!" Kyuubimon cried.
"You can't reason with me! It's too late for that! We're fighting now! Time to settle it!"
"You have to stop this, Beelzebumon!"
"Zip it, pineapple head! Here's a little gift I got especially for you!"
As soon as he said that, Beelzebumon phases out quickly and reappears right in front of Growlmon and delivers an uppercut to his chin. Growlmon felt the impact and goes flying back. Beelzebumon reappears behind the crimson-skinned dinosaur and delivers a spinning back kick.
"No! Growlmon!"
"Stop this, Beelzebumon!" Kyuubimon cried.
Beelzebumon turns around and watches as Kyuubimon goes charging right at him. As soon as she went for her Dragon Wheel, he jumps up and delivers a chop to the side of her head. Kyuubimon goes flying down onto the ground.
"Ok that's enough! I don't care who you are anymore! Your not going to try to kill any of my friends," Takato snaps all of a sudden, "Growlmon! Get him!"
Growlmon makes it up to his feet and goes charging over towards Beelzebumon. The biker digimon quickly spun back around and delivers a painful elbow shot into his gut. Growlmon lets out a cry and goes falling backwards.
"Hey! You better keep your attention onto me, Tai," Metalla X called out.
"Matt! There's no time for this! Don't you realize that we got other problems! The Tamers are going to get taken apart! Snap out of it!"
Metalla X simply stands there with an evil smirk on his face and he turns his attention over where Beelzebumon was taking apart both of the Tamers' digimon. He focuses back over to Omega X.
"Oh well. That's their problem. You better keep your attention on me alone, Tai. This is where out fateful battle shall occur. So what do you say?"
"Please, Matt! Stop this!" cries out Celesta X.
Beelzebumon had taken out both Kyuubimon and Growlmon with several hand-to-hand combat techniques. He quickly shifted his attention over to both Rika and Takato. His crimson eyes were glowing like never before while a grin formed across his sadistic face.
"As soon as I upload your pet's data, then you two are next."
"No! Don't do it! Kyuubimon! Watch out!"
Kyuubimon quickly made it to her feet and goes flying over to Beelzebumon while he had his back turned. Just as she was about to attack, Beelzebumon shoots out his fist and makes connection with her face. Kyuubimon was sent flying back and crashing down onto the ground.
"Kyuubimon! Hang on!"
Takato watched as Rika was running towards the battle itself. Takato tried to stop her but she was much too fast for even the goggle boy to tug away.
"Rika! Don't do it! He's going to kill you!"
Rika goes charging right over towards Beelzebumon in order to save Kyuubimon from further annihilation. As soon as Rika went over to her digimon's side, Beelzebumon picks up Rika by her neck and lifts her up. Takato could only look on with sheer horror on his face.
"What do you think you're going, miss all and mighty? Not so tough when your digimon pet is down, huh? Well don't worry, sweets. Where ever she's going, you're going to follow along with her."
"Let her go, Beelzebumon! You're fighting dirty!"
"Me, play dirty? Ha. I'm just getting warmed up, goggle boy. Seeing that you like this girl too much, you can join her down in the depths of hell."
"Don't do it!"
"You know your right. I shouldn't be picking on a human. It's just not my style. But what I'll do is kill fox face here and load her data! How does that sound?"
"No you won't!" Kyuubimon cries out as she goes jumping right for Beelzebumon.
The biker quickly elbows the approaching digimon and sends her flying back. He then looks right over at Rika and noticed a look of fear across her face.
"As far as you go sweets, I'm done with ya."
With that said, Beelzebumon drops Rika and watches as she falls. Takato goes running up to try to catch her in time, but then Beelzebumon thrusts out his hand and smacks Rika away with tremendous force. Takato looks on with shock as Rika goes falling down onto the ground with a thud. Beelzebumon could only laugh like a maniac over what he had accomplished.
"Rika… Rika…"
"Aw, are we loss for words, boy? She isn't dead, but is near death after what I did to her. Shall I deliver the final touches to your 'dream girl'?"
That finally set the spark off for Takato as a fueling rage was burning up within him and his eyes looked up to face Beelzebumon. The biker took notice of this and had a questionable look on his face.
Shintomon and the others were beginning to detect a major power increase over where Takato was sitting. Celesta X was shocked out of the whole group and looked towards where Growlmon was sitting up.
"How could you? How could you? How could you do such a terrible thing?!" Takato cries out, "Now I'm going to make you hurt! I'll make you pay!"
Suddenly, there was a red glow surrounding Takato for a moment and the others were looking on, even Metalla X looked on but was more focused over Omega X.
Beelzebumon backs away for a moment and watches as both Takato's eyes were starting to dilate like Growlmon's. Takato's own anger managed to make Growlmon digivolve straight to War Growlmon, even without the use of the blue cards. Takato let out a cry of bloody murder, just as War Growlmon was, as if they were 'connected' into one mind.
War Growlmon goes charging right for Beelzebumon and attacks him head on. Beelzebumon manages to fly out of the way and pulls out his guns.
"Alright! Try my Double Impact! You big dump truck!"
The dark mega began to fire away like crazy over the towering beast and watched as War Growlmon stood there with the shots nailing him. War Growlmon cries out and charges right for Beelzebumon, who was then caught into a huge bite. Beelzebumon cries out.
"That's it! Tear him apart!"
Celesta X looks on with shock over her face over what Takato was doing.
"No! What the hell are you trying to prove, Takato? That's not the way to fight!"Celesta X said to herself.
"Make him pay for what he did! Kill him!"
War Growlmon manages to bite down harder, but Beelzebumon was able to break himself free by phasing out. He pulls back his fist and delivers a painful elbow shot into the monster's chest.
"Takato! Snap out of it," Celesta X cries out.
"No! You can't lose, War Growlmon! I won't allow it! Digivolve now! I want you to digivolve straight to mega! I command you!"
As soon as he said this, he pulls out his D-Ark and it started to glow. His eyes were just as possessed as ever.
"Ha! Did I make the little boy mad and go cry like a baby? Right when I'm doing killing your little pet, I'm going to finish what's left of you."
"Your wrong, Beelzebumon. You're the one who is finished! War Growlmon! Digivolve to mega! Now!"
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Calumon was sitting down alongside a lake in the middle of nowhere and was about to take a drink. But then, the crystal on his head shot out a powerful, red beam and sends it right over to the other side of the Digital World.
**************************************************************************************
Southern Region
There stood a large, castle of some sorts with a rather gothic and demonic look to it. Suddenly, there was a large flash of red light channeling and shooting out across the skies. It was heading directly for the digimon arena over on the other side.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena
The crowd looked up and was now beginning to evacuate as the two beams came shooting down onto War Growlmon. The cyborg ultimate cried out with sheer rage as his body was starting to change form. The group could only look on with terrified looks on their faces, with the exception of Metalla X of course.
The hazardous sign across War Growlmon's chest was starting to glow with a rather, crimson color to it.
**************************************************************************************
Earth. Hypnos Towers.
The crew within the Hypnos building was repairing everything that had been lost ever since the attack by Vikaralymon, but everything seemed to be running smoothly.
Just then, an alarm came across the grid screen and several hazardous signs started to instantly appear.
"Sir! We're getting a huge power increase from the digital vortex!" Riley exclaimed, "Make that two. Both are enough to destroy the entire digital vortex and the destruction of its world!"
Yamaki gasped at this sudden news and had just remembered the fact that the children had gone into the Digital World.
"What?! How drastic is it?! I need to know!"
"Its strong enough to cause a sudden meltdown and there's nothing we can do since most of our equipment has been destroyed from the last digimon attack," Talley replied, "All we can do is hope and pray for the meltdown warning to disappear, which I doubt will happen."
"No! The children! This can't be happening! Not now!"
**************************************************************************************
Biyomon felt uneasy throughout her feathered body. It was as if something were piercing her heart. She flies up and looks out towards the window. She saw a bright, red light flashing down upon the Hypnos twin tower buildings.
"Biyomon?" Sora calls out. "What's going on?"
"Sora! Take a look at that!"
Sora looks up and gasps at the sight of the red beam illuminating over the twin towers. She placed her hand against her chest and felt it beat faster than it ever has before.
"What's this strange feeling I'm getting? I've never felt this sort of sensation before. I just hope Tai isn't involved with this. Something tells me that everything has turned out worse than I thought. Tai. Takato. Kari. TK. Matt. Rika. Not mention everyone else. I just hope that they make it out of there. I hope with everything within my heart…"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Mr. Wong looks across from his window and over towards the Hypnos buildings and then over towards his computer. A horrified look comes across his face. He could easily tell what the 'hazardous signs' meant and it wasn't good news.
"No! Henry! I can't believe this is happening! What on earth is actually going on over on the other side?! If I let anything happen to you, I will never forgive myself…"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Cody and Armadillomon had just left the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena since there were technical difficulties due to some unknown activity involving a power surge. This was really caused by the after effects from the digital world.
"Cody! I have this weird feeling that power failure wasn't because of technical difficulties."
"I know. I'm inclining to agree, Armadillomon. Something tells me that a disruption is occurring in the digital world."
"No kidding. We better go find the others, Cody. This is something Izzy would know about."
"Right! Let's get- Whoa! Take a look at that!"
Armadillomon turned to where Cody was pointing. The digimon's mouth dropped as he saw a bright red beam illuminating over the Hypnos towers.
"Well, you don't see that everyday," Armadillomon remarked.
"This is serious! We better let the others know about this!"
With that said, Cody headed off to find the location of one of the resident Digi-Destined. He had just remembered that Izzy was still in town and decided to see him at the hotel.
"I just hope Izzy is there!"
"Man, I really need to exercise more. Cody is running faster than a marathon winner!"
****************************************************************************************
Yolei looks out her window while tightly holding Naomi in her arms. Hawkmon's feathers stiffened as he felt the uprising power growing from the digital world.
"Oh, Ken… Are they okay, Hawkmon?"
"How should I know? All we can do now is pray, Yolei. That is all we can do for them now."
"Praying just isn't enough… They've been gone for a whole day and now this happens? Just what the hell is going on in the digital world?"
Mimi sat in a chair with Dimitri in her arms. She felt just as uneasy as Yolei was. Suddenly, her heart started beating faster than it ever has. He was worried over the fact that Matt might be involved in this situation.
"Just what is going on? I've never felt this nervous before. Ok, I've been through scary situations before, but this takes the icing on the cake. Something tells that a horrible event is about to happen…"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme"]
The red, invisible energy surrounded War Growlmon as he started to change form. The others took notice of this and were now feeling a very, strong and negative ki from the now evolving War Growlmon.
"He's digivolving!" Shintomon said, "But into something horrible… What is Takato doing?!"
"That's it! Digivolve to mega! That's the way!"
Just as he said that, the light began to fade away and what Takato looked across wasn't exactly what he wanted. Now in War Growlmon's place was a large, dragon-like demon with spikes all over his sides and huge arms equipped with devastating-looking claws. The hazard sign on his chest was glowing like never before. The demonic monster growled under his breath and let out a horrifying scream that sent chills down the spines of everyone, including Takato.
"Takato, what have you done?! What have you done to Guilmon," Celesta X asked with a terrified look on her face. "That power. That monster's power is strong!"
"Guilmon… What have I done to you boy?!" Takato said with tears coming down his eyes.
As he gazed up over to the monster formerly the lovable Guilmon, he dropped his D-Ark and it quickly shattered into digi dust.
"I'm sorry… Guilmon…"
[Super Sayian Vegeta English background theme plays]
Omega X looked on with shock but then heard somebody call out from behind him. It was none other than Metalla X, who was pointing his finger over to his former friend.
"Its time, Tai! Our fated battle!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X stares at him curiously. Then Metalla X's point turns into that of an extended palm facing out.
"Matt! No!"
Metalla X simply chuckles and sends out a power ki blast over to Omega X. Omega X throws up his arms into defense as the beam goes flying right towards him. Metalla X pushes the blast as he watches it start to push Omega X back and it grows bigger as it does. Metalla X grins like a madman. Omega X is slowly driven backward as Celesta X and Pumpkinmon watch on in shock. Shintomon watches from the opposite side of Celesta X. Metalla X screams as he pushes more into it and Omega X slides back across the stage already. Near the edge, he finally jumps out of the way with a scream. The blast continues over towards the seated crowd themselves. They tried running as fast as they could but to no avail.
"Oh no!" Celesta X cries out in terror.
"We're too late!" exclaimed Shintomon.
The spectators flee, but the side of the stadium explodes and engulfs most of them with it. Further out beyond the arena, buildings start to collapse. The group is stunned beyond belief. They stare out through the empty path to a mushroom cloud down the road.
Omega X looks down while hovering from the skies above. A horrified look came across his face as he gazed down upon both the monstrous mega form of Guilmon and Metalla X's destruction. Two devastating crises have all occurred in one area. He could not stand for this.
The group all looked on with astonishment and fear. Huge clouds of dust and smoke start to rise up, and an entire section of the stadium are gone. On either side of the hole, there were many empty seats since the crowds of digimon were quickly starting to evacuate. Metalla X chuckles at the sight of the destruction.
Omega X finally drops down to the ground and stares in horror over at the smoking hole. He clenches his teeth, looks back and turns around to face Metalla X.
"Damn you, monster! Damn you to hell! The real Yamato would never do this…"
With that said, Metalla X's grin grows wider and he gives a stare down over towards his long-time former friend and now adversary. The long-awaited showdown between the two top fusion fighters was soon going to go underway.
Takato looks down at the ground and looks up at the 'monster' that he created. The exact same monster he created, from his own anger. He had let his anger get the best of him and it caused Guilmon to transform into a nightmarish monster.
"Guilmon… Forgive me… I should take my own life away for this… I never meant to turn you into a monster…"
Beelzebumon looks up as he began to back away from the 'monster' as he opened its mouth and released a blood-curling scream.
Rika and Kyuubimon were both lain out and had no idea of what was going on at the very moment.
Smoke rises out of the gaping hole in the side of the Digimon Fighting Arena. A shallow canyon runs off from the opening off into the distance, tearing straight through a nearby city. Screaming spectators flee the area as quickly as possible, and the seats are littered with abandoned items. The group stares over at Metalla X with frightened looks on their faces while standing across from him.
"Matt! What the hell are you doing?" Celesta X cries out, "This isn't the damn time!"
Omega X glares right over towards him, with Metalla X simply smirking back over at them.
Over on the other side, Megidramon growled as he had his main focus over towards Beelzebumon. The monster's mouth gaped open with acidic saliva dripping down and eating its way through the floor. Just then, Rika's D-Ark started to analyze the monster, which Rika couldn't see since she was already knocked out unconscious from Beelzebumon's blow a little earlier. She appeared to be near death after taking such a devastating hit by the biker demon.
[Megidramon. Mega Level. Demon Dragon type. Special Attacks: Megido Flame and Hell Howling]
The group was simply just terrified of Megidramon's image, Takato being the most frightened.
"Something is obviously wrong with this," said Shintomon.
"I know that Guilmon is a virus type, but he just plain out scares me," replied Celesta X.
Megidramon lets out a horrifying scream as he quickly lashes out his tail over at Beelzebumon and wraps his tail around the biker. Beelzebumon was unable to detect it coming and was caught. Now he was feeling body started to get constricted by the monster's tail as if Megidramon were a snake trying to squeeze the life out of its prey. Megidramon went down in order to bite Beelzebumon but he managed to grip his jaws. Beelzebumon fell closer to his back while Megidramon's jaws moved closer to his head. The monster's saliva dripped from his mouth and fell on Beelzebumon's face, as it began to burn like acid.
"Ack! You're drooling over me!"
Celesta X covered her face at the frightening sight of Megidramon, and Takato tries to calm her down.
"Kari, I'm sorry…"
"You're sorry! You turned him into a monster! Guilmon didn't deserve this! He was a cute and an adorable little dinosaur but now you made him into a terrible demon that I can't stand to look at…"
"I'm sorry… It was my anger… I couldn't control my anger…"
***************************************************************************************
"Dad! No!" Keke exclaimed tearfully.
X clenched his fists angrily as if he were about to enter the fray himself. However, this was a situation Tai had to handle on his own. The masked warrior restrained himself from interfering.
"Oh, dad! How could you?! How could you let that damn imp control you?!"
***************************************************************************************
Mimi sits up from her chair with her eyes nearly stiffened. Dimitri noticed that his mother was stiffened and held onto tightly.
"Matt?!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was laughing gleefully at the sight of what was happening; yet he was still shocked to view the whole ordeal between Megidramon and Beelzebumon.
"This is great! Over two hundred of those data scum are dead!"
He and King Devimon watch the action through the crystal ball. King Devimon was grinning like never before but then spoke up.
"But there's something that I would like to know. That Beelzebumon wasn't a part of our plan. I don't recall him wearing the 'D' marking. He must have been sent by the Sovereign of the Southern quadrant."
"So, good ol' Zhuqiaomon is up to his old tricks again. He always seems to know a way to always butt into my business! I thought I told him that we had our agreement! We agreed to stay out of each other's businesses. However, I'll let this one slide this time around. In fact, I'm enjoying the fact that Beelzebumon is giving us less work to accomplish. If he can eliminate those two children and their pets, then it will be more energy for the D-Reaper to collect! We'll win in the end! That fool Zhuqiaomon shouldn't have underestimated me and now his own henchman will be his own undoing!"
"Yes and it seems as though on of the humans has managed to digivolve his digimon partner into mega level, despite having a negative reaction. It's intriguing, but true. It really doesn't matter now, just as long as energy is gathered for D-Reaper's revival. Metalla X is doing as he is told."
"You're right and I think I should reward him sometime after the D-Reaper has been resurrected! Oh what a happy day! Ha! ha!"
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the arena, smoke continues to pour out of the stadium. With the exception of people on the stage and a few stragglers in the stands, the entire stadium has been virtually deserted.
"So, what are you going to do now, Tai?" Metalla X asked coldly.
Omega X could only look on in complete stunned silence as he looked over towards his 'friend'.
"This isn't the time, Matt. We've got a situation over here with Takato and his digimon. We've got to help him and make Beelzebumon pay for his crimes."
Metalla X simply just stood there and then spoke up once again.
"You will fight me, Tai. Unless of course, you want more a mountain of corpses to grow."
"Matt, you wouldn't…"
Metalla X simply smiles and licks his lips.
"How sad… I didn't think you were weak enough to be controlled…"
"Tai. Don't push him any further than he is now!" Celesta X said, "How could you do this to us, Matt?"
Metalla X doesn't answer, which further infuriates Omega X even further.
"Answer me now, Matt! Do you even choose to be anybody's slave?!"
But Metalla X simply holds out his right hand straight out and forms a ki blast. Omega X watches in shock as his 'friend' quickly vaporized another section of the stadium right next to where Megidramon and Beelzebumon were fighting. Screams ring out throughout the stadium. Dust and debris fly out over the stage.
"Tell me? Does being enslaved ever get you what you want, Tai?" Metalla X said.
He grins like a possessed madman. Celesta X and Shintomon could only look on with stunned looks on their faces. Anyone remaining in the stands began running out for their lives. Omega X watches the destruction with sheer astonishment and anger. He slowly turns to face Metalla X, who was still grinning. He slowly raises his arms to about chest height and glares at Metalla X, trying to control his fueling rage. Celesta X runs in between the two fusion warriors.
"Please stop, Matt! We have to help Takato and Guilmon!"
Metalla X responds by swinging out his arm angrily, and throws up a wind that knocks Celesta X over.
"Stay out of this, Kari! You little fish should stay away! This fight is between me and your joke of a brother."
"A joke, huh? Wow, that's a new one," said Omega X.
Celesta X rises back onto her feet, but nobody says a word after that. After a few seconds, a light wind begins to blow at Omega X's armor and slowly lifts up, as a orange aura surrounds him. Metalla X straightens up, laughing. Celesta X turns her attention back over towards the battle on the other side between Beelzebumon and Megidramon.
"I've got to get Rika and Kyuubimon away from there. They're in the line of fire as we speak,"Celesta X said to herself.

Mr. Wong made it over to Yamaki over at the Hypnos base. As soon as he came walking in, he saw nothing but numerous of hazard signs all over the grid screens. They were seemingly starting to blink as if a meltdown were about to occur at any moment. He looks over to find none other than Yamaki himself.
"What is going on, Yamaki? What's happening to the Digital World?"
"We're making a prediction that some unknown force of energy coming from the Digital Hazard has interrupted the computers of the whole real world."
"Have you been able to get into contact with Henry and the other children?"
Yamaki nodded his head and this certainly wasn't a good sign as Mr. Wong was now more worried than ever.
"Then, what are we going to do? They're going to die out there!"
"I doubt that, Mr. Wong. These children are a very resourceful bunch and have been able to put me in my place numerous of times."
"True. But they're still children and they're all alone out there."
"They're not alone. They're with their digimon and I have a good feeling that everything will be back under control. They will make it out alive, I can guarantee you that."
*************************************************************************************
Cody and Armadillomon managed to rush through the hotel and find themselves outside of Izzy's door. Just as the boy was about to knock, Tentomon opened the door.
"Oh! Good! You guys came!" the insect digimon blurted.
"Izzy! Did you see those lights outside?" Cody asked.
"Yeah. Something obviously is happening in the digital world. My computer nearly crashed because of it. I can't even get reading through Tai and the others. It's as if some sort of electrical power surge disrupted it."
"Well, that stinks."
"Don't worry. We've got the power back on. Let's just hope something like that doesn't happen again."
"I hope they make it out of there. I have a feeling it's only going to get worse," Cody said.
"I'm inclined to agree, Cody," replied Izzy. "But we have to trust in them. They'll make it out of there. At least, I hope so."
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World.
Ryo and Cyberdramon had already separated from the group just after the encounter with Orchimon. They both looked up towards the skies to see a bunch of red beams shooting up from the ground of the Digital World.
"I wonder what is going on," said Ryo, "I've seen too many of those beams already and they're becoming quite a concern."
"I sense a great danger from those beams and a presence of a powerful individual. But I can't seem to recognize the ki," said Cyberdramon.
"Huh? Unbelivable…"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena.
[Final Fantasy VII "Aeris' theme" plays]
Megidramon was continuing his struggling torture over the demon, Beelzebumon. He started to tighten his grip as the biker digimon was starting to gasp for air. Takato goes running up and calls out to his digimon friend.
"Guilmon! You have to stop this now!"
But the demon dragon kept his eyes over Beelzebumon, while tightening his grip even down further and was making sure that his enemy would not escape. Beelzebumon had struggled not to get bitten.
"Ugh! So this is what Chatsuramon meant by my full power?! I'm not impressed! Did he just send me out here just to die?!"
Suddenly, Chatsuramon appeared out of nowhere and appears right before Beelzebumon. He looked over the struggling Beelzebumon.
"What is this?! You are supposed to be much stronger than this! You are merely letting him trying to kill you! Stop this foolishness and get serious!"
"You think I'm joking around?! He's killing me over here!"
"Enough! No more excuses! The Sovereign won't tolerate for any excuses! Now shape up and I'm going to give you some of my own energy. Use it and don't let us down."
With that said, Chatsuramon kneeled forward and transferred some of his own energy and Beelzebumon started to absorb it away. The demon felt his power increase and he slowly started to take advantage of Megidramon and pushes himself up. As soon as Chatsuramon vanished, Beelzebumon pushes all the way up and Megidramon felt the tremendous power coming back to the demon biker.
Celesta X flies right over towards the fallen Rika and Kyuubimon. She places Rika on one shoulder and Kyuubimon on the other. Just then, Rika was starting to move about.
"Save your strength, Rika. I'm going to get you away from here," Celesta X said.
"Takato… Where's Takato?"
"Hey you three! I'm not letting you off the hook that easily!" Beelzebumon shouted.
Celesta X turned to see Belezebumon shooting out several guided shots over towards her, but she was able to phase away from each shot and reaches over towards the other side to meet up with the others.
"That was too close!" exclaimed Celesta X, "Alright. Are you alright, Rika?"
"I think so, but where's… Oh my god! Takato!"
"Stay here. He's in the line of fire, but he can't afford to seeing you getting hurt again."
"But Kari… We can't just leave him out there… Beezlebumon will kill him!"
"No, Megidramon is there and Takato should be fine."
"Megidramon?"
The red-haired girl peered over towards Megidramon and her eyes starts to widen in fear.
"That's… Guilmon? But that's just not right…"
Beelzebumon began to scream as he pushes Megidramon's head away with one hand, but then he wrenches back his fist on the other hand. As soon as he did that, he delivers several punches to Megidramon's face sending the towering powerhouse falling.
"Takato! Make this stop!" Celesta X cries out.
Megidramon's head began to fall backwards, but Beelzebumon swung his feet and delivers a devastating kick to the monster's chest, breaking the hazard symbol on it. Megidramon fell on his back and fainted. Beelzebumon continued to scream as he felt more stiff pain on his back. He held his fists tightly while attempting to control the power that Chatsuramon had give him.
Takato gasped in horrifying shock at what had just happened. He turns around and looks over towards Celesta X and Rika with a look of disdain.
"I'm sorry, guys… I should have held my anger in. I couldn't control it. Its all my fault…"
"Takato, don't blame yourself. What you just did has happened before," Celesta X said.
"It has? When?"
"It happened during the first adventure thirteen years ago. I wasn't there at the time, but Tai told me that he tried to force Skull Greymon to digivolve but it ended up in a negative sort of way. He ended up as Skull Greymon, rather than Metal Greymon. Tai blamed himself for that but he knew that he would correct that mistake. And you know what?"
"I'm going to have to correct that mistake."
"Right."
"But how? Megidramon… Guilmon could be dead."
"No, this is your chance to correct the mistake and show Guilmon that you truly care for him. Its the only way that its going to work."
"But…"
"Just do it, goggle head. Besides if anybody can do it, its you, Takato."
The goggle boy turns and looks over towards the fallen Megidramon with a sad look on his face. Megidramon wasn't even moving, which made Takato even more nervous than ever before. Whether he'd be dead or alive, it was time to correct the mistake that he had just made.

The entire screen was now beginning to clear away of Megidramon's Hazard signs. A sigh of relief came from the entire team.
"It appears that the danger is over for now," said Riley.
"Every trace of energy from the signs has all but faded. We should be fine," Talley replied.
"Looks like the terror within the Digital World is over for now, but I doubt it will be the last of it," Yamaki said, "Janyuu, I want you to bring the Monster Makers back here. I have an idea that might just work."
"Thank you, Yamaki. I never doubted you to become a changed man."
"Well, for our sake, we're mainly doing this for the children."
***************************************************************************************
Outside of Hypnos, a silver-haired half-demon had just come from the feudal era to see his comrade, Kagome. He stopped and saw the bright red light disperse into the skylines. He was a bit surprised by these 'supernatural occurrences'.
"Feh. It's not like I see bright lights like those everyday."
The half-breed Inuyasha leaped across to begin his search for the girl known as Kagome. From there, he would get her to go back to help find more Shikon jewel fragments.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena
[Super Sayian English background theme plays]
Shintomon goes running up towards Omega X and steps right in his way as if trying to hold him back from fighting.
"Please don't, Taichi! If you fight, then you'll be falling into Magimon's trap! He'll absorb your energy, and it surely be enough to resurrect D-Reaper."
Omega X simply ignores the Supreme guardian's pleas.
"Tell me, Matt. You went to your own way to be charmed by Dark Magimon just so that you would have a reason to fight me. Am I wrong?"
"If I hadn't, we would have never fought. We don't have much time to stay here and this would be the perfect time to settle our differences. Lets face it! All of Magimon's cronies have been nothing but wastes. And this D-Reaper is nothing more than a waste. Once the others find Calumon and I have beaten you, then we can all move on with our lives."
"So that's it?! That's your stupid reason to be charmed by darkness?" Shintomon asked.
Metalla X was quickly stunned by anger at what he had just said. He rasps with enragement.
"Stupid reason?!"
Shintomon gasps as Metalla X raises his ki and screams out.
"STUPID REASON?! That's everything to me! I don't care at all about D-Reaper! Tai has gotten stronger than me! Even though we both are been able to fuse with our digimon, he surpassed me! I was to have that power many years ago and become leader of the Digi-Destined! He's even saved my life and I can't forgive that! Absolutely not!"
Shintomon and Celesta X both turn from Omega X and Metalla X, eyeing each of them curiously. Finally, after a long pause, Omega X looks forward into the sky and yells.
"Dark Magimon! Move us somewhere uninhabited!"
Shintomon gasps in shock.
"I will fight Metalla X!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon laughs hysterically at what he was hearing and then looks back over to the crystal ball.
"Look what I've done! Yes! So hard to believe, but true!"
***************************************************************************************
"Fine!" Shintomon exclaimed.
The group watches as Shintomon moves in between both Omega X and Metalla X, holding his arms out.
"If you want to each other so badly, then you're going to have to kill me first to do so."
Shintomon stares right up towards Omega X, who at the same time returns a glare over to the Supreme guardian.
Beelzebumon tried to withstand that pain that was surging throughout his entire body. Takato walked over towards Megidramon slowly.
"Oh, Guilmon. I'm so sorry boy. I never meant to force you to turn into such a monster… I'm so sorry…"
Takato kneeled before Megidramon and several teardrops fell from the goggle boy's eyes.
"All of those times that we've spent together. We made the perfect team, you and me. We're the dynamic duo. We stuck to each other all the time. But the most important thing that you told me that no matter how much bigger you get when you digivolve and no matter how scary you end up looking; you will always remain the same and I haven't forgotten that. But you know what, you always were 'you'. I should have seen that a long time ago, but now. I can't even share those feeling with you anymore. I've lost control of you because I've lost control of myself. Please don't leave me, Guilmon… I need you. I have to correct my mistake…"
[Metallica "Unforgiven" plays]
Meanwhile, Shintomon and Omega X were staring each other down. Omega X suddenly drops his fist and lifts his right arm over to Shintomon, who looks on with a surprised look on his face. Celesta X looks on with shock. Even Metalla X was caught by surprise. Omega X has his palm raised right in front of Shintomon's face. He stares fearfully but doesn't move.
Omega X starts to form a ki blast within the palm of his hand. He holds it and stares down at Shintomon, who looks on with utter shock. For several moments, they stare each other down, and then finally, Shintomon drops his arms and lowers his head in defeat.
"Fine. So be it. Do as you wish."
Shintomon steps out of the way and walks over to the side, knowing that he can't stop the two fusion warriors. Omega X drops his arm.
"I'm sorry, Shintomon."
"Yes, so am I."
Omega X turns his attention back over to Metalla X, whose sadistic grin widens.
Dark Magimon laughs madly while hopping around gleefully at the turn of events.
"Has their friendship already broken up? Serve you right, Shintomon!"
"Its only a matter of time now until D-Reaper is brought back to life," replied King Devimon.
"I'll do as they wish and move them."
Back on the arena grounds, Beelzebumon looked to his side and noticed the showdown between the two fusion warriors and knew that he would be no match for either of them. He moves his attention as he glares right over to a weakened Rika and Kyuubimon.
"Well, well. Looks like those two are still alive. Ok, then. Time for a little target practice."
With that said, the biker demon pulls out his two guns and starts walking over towards the two with a sadistic grin on his face.
"Oh no! He's moving back over here," exclaimed Rika.
"Oh no! You better stay back," Celesta X said as she powered up with an aura surrounding her.
"Ugh. Great. Another one. These guys must be some sort of super warriors or something. More like freaks to me. Oh well. I better show missy here not to mess with me."
"So, what's it going to be, Beelzebumon," Celesta X asked, "Surrender since you can't beat me, or attack and get yourself killed?"
"As a matter of fact, I think I'll choose option three!"
Beelzebumon quickly turns around and points his guns over towards Takato. Rika and Celesta X both looked on with shocked gasps.
"Takato! Get out of there," exclaimed Rika, "He's behind you! Look out!"
As soon as Beelzebumon shot out his Double Impact, the bullets came flying right for Takato. Rika and Celesta X cried out for him to move away, but then Megidrmaon's eyes widened as he quickly recognized his Tamer's voice.
"Takatomon?"
"Guilmon!"
Just then, Takato found himself back in his own room and looked around in complete shock.
"Um, okay? I'm back home."
He turns around and notices the notepad drawing of Guilmon. He went over and picked it up.
"Who said Guilmon was data? That's because it's not true. He's more than just data. He's my friend and he will always remain my friend no matter what. I just hope you forgive me for what I just did to you. I was foolish to think that I could force you to digivolve."
Just then, a familiar childish voice was heard as Takato looked behind him to see an afterimage of Guilmon.
"We'll always be friends, Takatomon. And that friendship is very real."
"Guilmon!"
Takato now found himself in a vortex surrounded by floating Guilmons, which caused him to panic and look around for his real friend.
"No! I don't want to start all over! What I really want is the Guilmon that is my friend! Not DNA! Not data! Just my friend!"
As soon as he screamed, a red trail comes shooting out and Takato goes running towards it. He looked up ahead and saw none other than Guilmon sleeping.
"Guilmon! I'm over here, boy!"
"Hmm? Takato? Is that you?"
Just as he reached over, he found himself holding onto the real Guilmon on his side. They rejoiced. Guilmon found himself awake and alive.
"Thank you for coming back, Guilmon," said Takato, "I thought I was going to lose you forever."
"So, can I have some peanut butter bread after this journey is done and over with?"
Takato nods his head and gives Guilmon a deep hug.
"You can have whatever you want, boy."
"Takato! Look out!" exclaimed Rika.
"Beelzebumon is going to kill you! The bullets are heading your way! Move away!" Celesta X cried out.
But just as the bullets were about to hit Takato at the very last few seconds, Guilmon's tail turns into an afterimage of Megidramon's tail and swipes the bullets away. This quickly caught Beelzebumon by surprise. Guilmon jumps up onto his feet.
"Ok! That's enough!" exclaimed Guilmon, "Its time to fight back, Takatomon!"
"Are you sure, Guilmon?" the goggle boy asked, "But you just got a pretty bad beating a little earlier."
"I'm fine now. We're working together now."
"Ugh, so the pineapple head is up. Now that is all going to change!" exclaimed Beelzebumon, "I'm going to put you two out of commission for good!"
"I want to make Beelzebumon pay for the crimes he's committed," said Takato, "But how can I if I'm just a human."
"You don't know that. Maybe you just have to wish for it to happen," said Guilmon, "Plus we're not going to fight alone."
"Alright. I really wish for us to fight together! So we can make Beelzebumon pay for what he has done! He has no right to attempt to take other people's lives just because he was miserable before. Now its time for him to serve justice and punish him!"
Suddenly, the ground around Takato and Guilmon began to shake as a bright glow started to engulf them. The entire group all turned around to see the two starting to what seemed to be 'merging'. Celesta X and Rika was the most surprised.
"What's going on?" asked Omega X.
"They're merging much like you fusion warriors! But the reason why is unknown," said Shintomon.
"Impossible! He's just a mere child," said Metalla X.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon looked on with shock as he watched the mergence of both Guilmon and Takato. He looks over to King Devimon with a stunned look on his face.
"What are they doing?! Don't tell me that they are…"
"Merging and it looks as though that they only want to deal with Beelzebumon. But it should really be no concern since we're only here to gather energy. The fight that we should be focused on is Omega X and Metalla X."
"You're right. We shouldn't worry over little nuis… Impossible! His ki is increasing!"
"What?!"
***************************************************************************************
Biomerge Evolution
[Digimon Tamers second evolution theme "One Vision" plays]
Takato felt his body entering Guilmon as they were now merging. Soon they began to digivolve together.
"Guilmon BIOMERGE to!"
Armor and gauntlets start to form across Guilmon's body as his face transformed to that of a knight. His whole form was basically a royal knight as a large shield, a long joust and crimson, flowing cape was flowing from his back. The top of his helmet had a representation of Guilmon's face on it. He goes flying out with his joust intact.
"Gallantmon!"
As soon as the light faded away, Gallantmon stood there in the center of the battlegrounds while everyone else looked on in awe by the newest evolution form of Guilmon.
"Is that Guilmon's true mega form," asked Celesta X, "They merged much like ourselves."
"Yeah, I'll say. Takato. If his final form is a knight, then you are truly are a hero," Rika said.
Celesta X was quickly caught off guard as a sweat drop came running down her face.
"What? Don't I have any right to call goggle head that?"
"Not at all, but…"
"Well, that boy and Guilmon sure have it in them," Omega X said.
"Bah. He's still a rookie!" remarked Metalla X, "But I'm impressed. Lets check this out."
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was distracted by Gallantmon, but then turned his attention back to the two fusion fighters.
"Alright time to send them all to a new location! PARAPATA!"
***************************************************************************************
Back on the battlefield, the whole group was quickly transported as they now found themselves in a desolate landscape within the Digital World. They group looked around in awe. As soon as they materialized, it kicks up some dust, added to the dust already being blown about by the light wind.
"You shouldn't have any complaint about this place," said Metalla X.
"No."
"Don't do it, Tai!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"Don't worry!" said Shintomon, "There's nothing we can do to stop them, Hikari."
"So, what do you have in mind?" asked Celesta X.
Shintomon looks over to Omega X and nods. The guardian has a plan in mind.
"Fight all you want, Taichi. Hikari, Rika and myself will break into the ship and stop Dark Magimon and King Devimon. Gallantmon, you are to stop Beelzebumon. Omega X, you may fight Metalla X as you wish. Now this is our chance to stop Dark Magimon before D-Reaper is revived.
He turns away and looks down at the hole that leads into the next room.
"It'll be too bad if the shock awakens D-Reaper," said Shintomon, "But if he was to come back anyway, I would rather fight a weakened D-Reaper than a fully powered by your energy damage. And if we're lucky, we might be able to stop him before he's brought back to life!"
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon watches on with an intensified look on his face as he looks back over to his crystal ball.
"No I can't let you do that!"
"No. We shouldn't worry," replied King Devimon, "After all, Metalla X's only duty is to gather energy for you. If Shintomon shows up, he'll be helpless as long as I'm here."
Soon, the sorcerer's face turns from a frown into that of a wicked smile as he looks back to the events occurring on his crystal ball.
***************************************************************************************
"Alright, we are off," said Shintomon, "Hikari. Rika. Lets go."
"Come on Rika. Lets go."
The red-haired girl looks right back towards the showdown between Gallantmon and Beezlebumon. A faint smile comes across her face.
"You better win, goggle head."
Rika goes over to Kyuubimon as she quickly de-evolves back to Renamon. She picks up Renamon and holds her up. Celesta X goes and picks them both up as she went over to follow Shintomon down into the hole leading into the fourth-stage level at the bottom.
***************************************************************************************
King Devimon approaches Dark Magimon as an idea came to his mind.
"It probably be best if we opened the doors and allowed Shintomon to come here unobstructed. It wouldn't be very interesting if they shocked D-Reaper back to life before he is perfected."
The sorcerer looks right back at him.
"You're right. I understand."
***************************************************************************************
With that said, he made sure that every single passage was opened with access.
Celesta X closed her eyes as she quickly sent a telepathic message to Omega X.
"Tai. We'll be back, okay?"
"I know you will, Kari. Do your best. Remember to get angry. Remember how angry you got when you fought Virus. Use all of your power."
"Get angry?"
"If you do that, there's no one that can beat you. No one at all."
"Thanks Tai. I will do my best and will make you proud. Good luck on your battle with Matt."
"Thanks. Good journey, Kari."
As soon as he finished the telepathic message with his sister, Omega X turns his attention back over towards Metalla X. His smile had already faded as soon as he faced Metalla X.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Matt."
"I've been waiting for this for a very long time, Tai. I've been waiting for a long time!"
[Rob Zombie "Dragula" plays]
Metalla X quickly holds up his fists, while hunching forward to get into his fighting pose.
"I don't want to damage you caused to me to be used for D-Reaper. I'll have to fight you at full power to get this over with as soon as possible."
"I'm looking forward to it. I want to see how affective your training has been for the past couple of years."
Suddenly, some lighting quickly jumps out and then disappears in front of Omega X as he clenches his fists and raises his ki. He glows orange briefly. More lighting appears.
"Impressive. You're even stronger than your little sister, Kari, was when she fought Virus."
Metalla X screams and raises his own ki. The dust clears up a little and they size up each other.
"It doesn't look like this will end quickly. I will have to give it my all here," Tai said to himself in Omega X's thoughts.
"Lets go! I'm going to kill you when this is all said and done!" exclaimed Metalla X.
They stare at each other as the force of their combined ki throws up a seemingly endless amount of dust.
Over on the other side of the battlefield, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon were facing each other off as their kis also forced against each other. Gallantmon gives the biker demon a death stare and this greatly agitated Beelzebumon.
"Hey, what the hell is going on here?!"
"Now that everyone has left," Gallantmon spoke, with the combined voices of both Takato and Guilmon. "Beelzebumon, friendship was given to you but yet you rejected it and tried to take away a valuable soul. How do you condone to the actions that you have committed? I can never forgive you for attempting to killing off a very important soul."
"Forgiveness?!"
"Yes. You will go back to hell because you deserve to die for your actions. The one named Rika never done anything to you and now you must pay. We can never allow to you kill other such as Henry, Jeri, Kazu and Kenta. You shall die here by our hands."
"If you want me to die, then you should kill me yourself!"
"So be it, Beelzebumon!"
As soon as they both said that, the two warriors charged right over at each other as Beelzebumon extracted his claws and Gallantmon fly up with his joust intact.
Now this is more like it! Two heated battles to go underway! Will Gallantmon make Beelzebumon pay for his crimes and will Omega X be able to stop Metalla X? Plus will the others stop Dark Magimon in time before the D-Reaper is unleashed?

Keke: Of all the fights throughout this whole series, this one will be remembered for a very long time.
Max: Hell yeah! Our dads give their best efforts against one another.
Coral: Oh and SSJ4T just informed me that the D-Reaper will be heavily formatted. Which means you'll be seeing new scenes and there will be fillers removed. So, D-Reaper Saga could be shortened. Plus, the final battle with the D-Reaper will have a different result than from the original version.
Max: Don't me! It will only spoil the fun.
Coral: No. The readers will find out eventually.
Keke: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get on with the fic! Enjoy, ficcers!

The Two Fated Battles! We Won't Let You Continue You're Evil, Magimon!
Southern Region of the Digital World
Buddamon and his group were still talking a very long distance across the desolate landscape. Kazu and Kenta were looking tired as usual, with Sonja keeping an eye on them and making sure that they don't whine. TK was trying to keep his focus on the mission rather than on his brother. Henry and Terriermon looked on ahead watching Buddamon walking ahead and surprisingly not tired out.
"How is he still able to walk like this? He must do this for a living,"Terriermon remarked.
"Buddamon. How long are from Calumon's exact location. Are you certain he's around here?" Henry asked.
"You picked up his energy level from this exact quadrant and I have a feeling that he is almost near the land of the Southern Sovereign, Zhuiqaomon."
"Wait, a second. Zhuqiaomon is here?" Sonja asked, "But I thought…"
"This is a different digital reality, which means a different set of laws and codes. The digimon might look like the same ones from the other Digital World, however, they are merely equivalents."
"Just one questions. What is the use of the 'order' for these so-called dimensions," asked Henry.
"Azulongmon told us that the 'orders' are to help keep each dimensional realities from overlapping each other. If they were to crossover with each other, then something terrible might occur and the 'order' will be broken by a form of darkness," TK said, "That's your reason for the orders, isn't that right Buddamon?"
"Yes. That is correct TK. These orders are very essential for our survival. It is only right for the two Digital Worlds to remain separate. The Zhuqiaomon of this world has an undisputed hatred for humans."
"But why? We didn't do anything wrong," Jeri said.
"Or so you say. He believes that you humans have purposely have been interfering with the digimon's ability to digivolve and enslaving the digimon to your advantage. However, he's much too stubborn to realize the truth. We must watch out for the fires that ablaze here, this is Zhuqiaomon's territory after all."
"This Sovereign sure sounds like somebody I wouldn't want to meet either," Henry said to himself. "But I'm wondering how Suzie is taking care of herself back at home. I'm sure she'll be fine."
"Hey, Henry? What's wrong?" asked Terriermon.
"Oh nothing. Just thinking."
"Momentai, Henry. Just tell me. What is really on your mind?"
"Suzie… I hope she's doing alright."
"I'm sure she's fine. Besides, we're going to go back home anyways. I can sure guarantee you that."
"I guess I should believe you then. After all, we will come out of this alive."
"Yeah. Just momentai, Henry. Don't stress yourself out. I might need you whenever there's trouble coming along the way."
"You're right, Terriermon. I'll keep my cool. Thanks buddy."
"Anytime."
Just then, Patamon's ears perked and he looked out towards the other direction with an angry look on his face. Terriermon also felt that same energy presence and looked to where Patamon was facing.
"What's wrong?" asked TK.
"There's several powerful kis over in the other direction. There are two huge battles going on. Two of which I can't really recognize. The other two are…"
"Who, Patamon?"
"Tai and Matt! They're about to tear each other apart in their fusion forms!"
"What?! No way! Not now!"
***************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital World.
[Super Sayian English battle theme plays]
As a light wind blows overhead, the two fusion warriors stand in a rocky area devoid of any other people. But just on the other side of them, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon were beginning to charge right over towards each other. The two mega collided in a head-on-head struggle with each pushing each other back. Gallantmon takes advantage and delivers a charge with his shield, which sent Beelzebumon flying back. But the biker was able to land right on his feet.
Omega X glares right over at Metalla X, with Metalla X grinning back over at him. Suddenly, he screams and charges forward, pulling back his fist. He throws a punch, but Omega X dodges. Another punch and another dodge. He goes on the offensive into another hit and block technique. The two fighters were able to hit and block each other's moves. It ends quickly with a hard knee being rammed into the gut of Omega X., which causes the fusion warrior of courage to grunt in surprise. Metalla X follows it up with an elbow shot that was able to send Omega X flying back. Omega X lands on his hands and knees and looks up to see Metalla X flying in from above.
Omega X quickly jumps out of the way and Metalla X's leg plunges into a rock, sending it up all in stones and dust all around him. Omega X stops in mid-air above him and Metalla X launches out, meeting his adversary in the sky. They pause briefly, hovering a few yards apart in the air.
Beelzebumon goes running up to Gallantmon to go for a knee shot, but Gallantmon was able to block it out with his shield. They both collided in a burst of energy that sends sparks red lightning around them. They remain frozen for a few moments.
"What's wrong?" asked Beelzebumon, "Aren't you going to kill me off?!"
"Shut up!"
With one last bright flash of light, they split and manage to split apart from each other a few yards away. Both go flying up into the air and they charge right at each other as they collided once again. Beelzebumon throws a punch with his left hand, which Gallantmon swipes away with his joust. Gallantmon wrenches back and goes for a shield charge but Beelzebumon saw it coming and manages to shield himself with his arms. They stay with each other in a blocking position as sparks of lighting came from their struggle and the ground around them was started to cave in.
Omega X and Metalla X catch each other's legs as they began to kick each other a kicking contest. They both throw their knees up afterwards and began nailing each other, with neither fighter getting knocked away just yet. Each time that their knee hits, a few beams of red light shoot out, but disappear as soon as they stopped. After about ten hits to each other, Metalla X ends up thrusting his head forward and delivers a head butt to Omega X. Omega X cries out in surprise and falls back, and Metalla X immediately follows it up with a punch to his gut. He throws strong, slow punches one after the other into the stunned Omega X. After several punches, Omega X recovers and catches each hand. They stay locked like that and Omega X knees Metalla X in the chin. Metalla X's head flies back and he grunts in tremendous pain. Omega X follows it up with another knee to the face and, at the same time, lets Metalla X's hands go. As Metalla X floats in front of him, while still being knocked away by the two knees, Omega X kicks him hard in the side of the head. Metalla X sails into a cliffside and is embedded in the rock as Omega X watches from a safe distance.
"Oh, yes! That's the way, Tai!"
Omega X slowly moves towards Metalla X, but he charges up his ki with a shout, disintegrating the rocks all around him. Now a nearly perfect half-circle was formed in the rocks as a result. Metalla X and Omega X slowly move towards each other until they were face-to-face. They charge up their ki simultaneously and share one large aura instead of having two separate auras of light. They finally stare each other down and Metalla X manages to yell angrily. There was lightning dancing around the aura and a bright flash of orange light shines throughout the surroundings and was strong enough to blind the naked eye. They resume fighting as they threw punches at each other while the light started to fade away.
Beelzebumon looks up and hops onto his motorcycle. He goes speeding off but then turns around which catches Gallantmon by surprise. The biker started spinning all around the knight and fired away many multiple shots at him.
"Double Impact!"
Gallantmon was able to hold out his shield to protect himself from the incoming bullet shots that were heading his way. He turns around and watches as Beelzebumon was about to run him down with his motorcycle, but then Gallantmon quickly disappeared. Beelzebumon managed to only run down his cape, which caught the biker completely by surprise. Suddenly, a bright flash of blue light comes shooting down from the sky and onto the bike from below.
"Lightning Joust!"
Beelzebumon gasps and goes jumping out of the way just as Gallantmon flew down and shoots out his attack, which lowers down and blasts the motorcycle out of existence and nothing was left of it but a large crater. Beelzebumon seethed at what just happened and looked over at Gallantmon.
"Damn you! That was my bike! You just blasted away! Now I'm going to kick your royal ass for that!"
Beelzebumon goes charging right at Gallantmon and goes jumping over him. Gallantamon quickly turns around and gets met with a spinning back kick from Beelzebumon. Gallantmon goes flying back as Beelzebumon lands right on his feet.
"Not so tough are ya, your royal highness?"
But as soon as he said that, Gallantmon was already up on his feet, which didn't please Beelzebumon. A angry look came across the face of the biker digimon as he made his way towards the fused mega. He goes punching at him with a barrage of fists, but none of which were able to make contact with the knight. Beelzebumon quickly stopped and was tiring out.
"How? How are you able to dodge my fists?! That's impossible!"
Gallantmon simply stood there and held up his joust with his golden-eyes being locked onto Beelzebumon's crimson eyes.
"You two managed to fuse to become some kind of super powerful being, like those other guys were able to do. So what? I can still beat you! There's no way I'm going to lose to a bucket head like you!"
"Even now, you show no remorse to what you have done. Well, you leave me no choice. We shall send you to hell where you belong."
"Right. Why don't you kill me first then?!"
With that said, Beelzebumon quickly phases and punches Gallantmon right in the face. Gallantmon goes tumbling back but was able to stop at his pace. Beelzebumon jumps down from behind him and goes to deliver a spinning back kick, but Gallantmon was able to see it coming as he quickly phased out. Beelzebumon gasped in shock and began to look around his surroundings. As soon as he turned around, he was then met with another shield smash from out of nowhere.
"Damn you, pineapple head!"
Beelzebumon goes landing back and hears a loud snap as he landed right on his shoulder. He slowly manages to pull himself up and looks over towards Gallantmon, who was standing just as triumphant as ever.
"No! How is he able to detect my movements! This is not possible! My power was supposed to be flawless! Nothing stands in my way! I'm going to make pineapple regret what he just did to me. Plus, my shoulder isn't doing well. I'm just going to have by myself some time to make a recovery. Then I'll get him while his guard his down. Oh, Beelzey, you're a genius."
A sinister grin forms across Beelzebumon's face as Gallantmon was beginning to wonder what his adversary has planned.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Standing outside the ship and still as ever, the two statues of Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon were alone on the mountain overlooking Dark Magimon's ship.
Just within the ship, Dark Magimon was giggling as he was watching the two fights through his crystal ball. The sheet sight of Gallantmon and Omega X getting beaten within their lives was only music to his ears.
"Way go to, Metalla X! You're going perfectly! I really hope Beelzebumon gets rid of Gallantmon though. At least the Sovereign was able to save me the trouble this time around."
King Devimon looks right over towards the D-Reaper sphere. It seems to be faintly glowing. A grin forms on the demon's face. The meter read that it's power supply was nearly halfway complete. Dark Magimon's reflection appears in the glass over the meter as he began to laugh once again.
"Just look at it! D-Reaper's energy is rising quickly!" the sorcerer exclaimed.
He chuckles and turns away, creating a new crystal ball in the air in front of him with a wave of his hands. On it, he watches the two fights between Omega X and Metalla X, and Gallantmon's fight with Beelzebumon. Then he changes the view to that of Shintomon, Celesta X and Rika as they were descending through the ship.
"It looks like we've won, King Devimon."
"That's right."
The dark sorcerer laughs once again at the thought of torturing his adversaries and King Devimon grins while the sphere continues to glow on and off.
Shintomon and Celesta X managed to drop through a vertical passageway, finally landing in room thats exactly like all the others, but this time around, there were a group of soldiers standing around at one corner with frightened looks on their faces.
Celesta X sets Rika and Renamon down as she and Shintomon looked on over towards the soldiers with quirked eyebrows.
"Huh? Guards?" Celesta X asked.
"Umm… Ok. What's the meaning of this?" said Shintomon.
"Th-They're here!" called out one of the soldiers, which happened to be a Raremon.
"Do you think that they can beat us?" asked a Gizamon.
"That must be Dark Magimon's lower class soldiers," said Shintomon, "We don't have time to waste with small fry like them. We must hurry."
"Right."
"Alright, men! Lets go!" called out a Divermon.
They all flew up in unison and land all around Shintomon, Rika and Celesta X, forming a circle of sorts. They all took a few steps in.
"Hmmm. I'll waste them," Celesta X said.
Her smile turns into that of a serious expression, as she raises her fists, and takes on a fighting pose. All of the soldiers cry out in fear and shrink back, attempting to shield themselves with their arms. Celesta X charges up her ki and takes on a purely white aura. Shintomon holds up his arms in defense while covering Rika and Renamon at the same time. Celesta X quickly charges up again, doing it abruptly and quickly enough that it sends out a small shockwave, which managed to throw all of the soldiers flying back.
Shintomon looks right back up at Celesta X when it was finished and sighs.
"Gentle as usual, Hikari. But you still never seem to amaze me."
Celesta X drops her aura and straightens up. Rika uncrosses her arms and looks around to see that soldier bodies all over the floor surrounded them. The soldiers just happened to be on the floor and a little too dead to fight.
Suddenly, the floor in the center of the room falls away. Shintomon looks over towards it with a grin.
"He's overconfident as usual. He must think that he doesn't need more time. Lets go and find D-Reaper's ball."
"Right. Lets go Rika."
Rika nodded and could only look back to when Takato and Guilmon fused to become Gallantmon. Renamon places her hand on her Tamer.
"Lets go, Rika. We don't have much time left."
"Yeah."
"Hang on tight."
Renamon goes over and scoops Rika in her arms. She then goes flying over towards Celesta X and Shintomon. They were now descending down towards the very bottom level of the ship, the very exact room where Dark Magimon was lurking.
Dark Magimon could only laugh at the sight of the four making their way down into the bottom of his ship. King Devimon grins in satisfaction while looking over to seeing the destined of light, Celesta X, through the crystal ball.
"At last, you will be able to witness Shintomon's death."
"Take care of him, King Devimon," the sorcerer said with a giggle.

Earth. Shinjuku, Japan
Yolei and Mimi were seen driving down the street away from TK and Kari's apartment home. They brought their children and digimon along.
"Yolei? You think this was such a good idea? I mean what if another one of those beams come shooting down? Something tells me that Tai and the others are in trouble," Mimi said.
"Don't ask why, but I feel that something terrible is going to awaken."
"You really think so? Have you forgotten about our friends? We have Tai and Matt. They're practically the strongest. There's no way we'll fail."
"I'll have to agree with Meems on this on," Palmon said.
"I'm siding with Yolei," Hawkmon replied. "No surprise, eh? I do agree about the possibility of a dangerous entity. I mean look at the past battles we've been involved in."
"I guess you guys are right, but you're underestimating our friends," Mimi replied. "In fact, we have four fusion warriors on our side. You forgot that Tai, Matt, Kari and TK are among them. They've beaten many enemies in the past."
"True. Maybe I'm just being a little paranoid. I have to stay cool."
"Yeah, you should try it sometime."
"Shame on me for not being faithful towards our friends, but I still think we're facing an enemy that may be an even greater threat than we've first imagined. I hope Tai, Matt and the others are not over their heads. That goes especially for Matt. There's no telling what he's thinking. I just hope he and Tai aren't getting into another fight…"
Unfortunately for Yolei, the possibility of Tai and Matt working together was shunned. She and Mimi were missing out on perhaps one of the long-anticipated battles throughout the digital multiverse.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World.
[Saliva "Click Click Boom" plays]
The fight between Omega X and Metalla X was still heating up more than ever before. Their so-called warm up has ended and they were ready to get down to real business.
There was nothing going on but sounds of the battle itself for a few seconds. But after a few moments, the two fighters both moved out from behind a cliff. Omega X appears to be on the offensive now as he drives into Metalla X's back.
Omega X continues his barrage as Metalla X throws up his arms to shield. Omega X pulls back and then, leg outstretched, slides back in and kicks Metalla X hard in the stomach. Metalla X cries out in surprise and Omega X pulls his arm back to follow it up with a punch. But when he throws it, Metalla X phases out. Metalla X reappears behind him with a grin. Omega X gasps and spins around, while Metalla X meets him with arms right into his stomach, charging up a ki blast. It finished charging and explodes in a bright flash, throwing Omega X to the ground.
When the light fades, Metalla X was in the sky with his arms still outstretched, staring down at the dust cloud. He drops his arms. The dust cloud dissipates and reveals a gigantic crater. He stares into it from high above and, finally, looks up to see a golden light piercing through the darkness. He gasps and quickly throws up a ki blast to counter the one Omega X was charging up. They collide midway and explode into a large fireball. Then a ki blast duel was enduring between the two fusion warriors.
Back on the other side of the battle, Beezlebumon was quickly beginning to by himself some time as he went running across the landscape ahead of him. Gallantmon gives chase to him.
"Guilmon, what is he really up to? Why is he running off the way he is?"
"I don't know, Takato. But I sure don't trust him. He has something up his sleeve. But we better keep an eye on him just in case. We won't let him get away that easily."
"Right! He's not getting away with this!"
"You hear us, Beelzebumon? You're not getting away from us! We'll get to you yet!"
"Yeah? I would like to see you try!"
Suddenly as soon as he said that, Gallantmon quickly faded right in front of Beelzebumon, which caught the biker by complete surprise. Gallantmon wrenches back and delivers a head butt, which sent Beelzebumon flying back once again.
"Alright! We got him now, Guilmon!"
"Its not over there, Takato. His ki is just as strong as ever.
Beelzebumon was slowly getting up to his feet and he extracted his claws. He goes flying right at Gallantmon and slashes right all over him.
"Darkness Claw!"
Gallantmon screams out in tremendous pain as he felt each slash coming across his body. He fell to his knees but managed to keep his composure intact. Beelzebumon lands back on his feet while his left shoulder was hanging, which Beelzebumon gripped like no other.
"How do you like it, when you're on the sidelines? Your going to pay for what you did to my shoulder!"
"Guilmon! That pretty much took us out of our game plan. We need to do something to regain our momentum."
"I got just the thing. We have to slow him down. Beelzebumon relies on speed the most. If we keep going, I'm pretty sure that his stamina will decrease as a result. We got power on our side when he tires out and that's where we will strike."
"Great strategy. Since when did you become all strategist all of a sudden?"
"I don't know. It just happened. Now, lets keep our focus on our enemy."
"Right."
With that said, Gallantmon was slowly rising up to his feet as he turned to face Beelzebumon. A disappointed sneer came across the biker's face as he clenched his fists.
"Back for me, I can tell. All right, how about a little round two? Are you up for it?"
"Just bring it, Beelzebumon."
"With pleasure!"
The two fighters go charging right over at each other as sparks came flying from their collision and the rocks around them started to explode as a result of their excessive force and power.
Metalla X pushes on his ki ball as Omega X does the same thing while rising out of the crater at the exact same time. Finally, Omega X pushes it all the way back and the ball have been compressed into more a sphere, with both fighters just a foot or so away from it on either side. Lighting was dancing around the meeting point. Both fighters struggle against it.
"Damn you, Tai!"
Metalla X screams and puts more effort into it, and Omega X counters by doing the same. The result is a more flattened ball, but no one actually gains any ground. Metalla X screams and strengthens his side with another ki blast from his free hand, and Omega X does the same. It now been turned into a ball again, even though both fighters are just a couple of feet away. Lightning still jumps around the surface, it quickly expands to more than twice its normal size. Omega X and Metalla X continue their struggle, and finally, it explodes right between them.
***************************************************************************************
Back on Earth
Suzie was playing in the park after a long boring day without Terriermon around to play with. She walks over towards the playground and looks over towards her father.
"Daddy! I'm going to be pwaying on the swings, ok?"
"Alright! Just as long as I can see you," Mr. Wong calls out.
"Yay!" the little purple-haired girl squealed as she went down the slide.
Looking on away from the playground was a girl with a yellow cat-like creature. The girl was adored by Suzie's antics.
"Sakura?"
"That's so cute. It brings me back memories of when I used to play at the playground."
Just then, a shadow loomed over Mr. Wong for a moment and he quickly turns around to see none other than Yamaki himself.
"Oh, its only you, Yamaki. Its a surprise to see you here."
"Janyuu. We need to talk. Its about Shibumi."
"What is it?"
Yamaki sits down on the bench where Mr. Wong was sitting and then he goes on to explain everything that he had found out about Shibumi, while Suzie running on top of a toy hill with a toy duck at the side of her.
"We really need to find Shibumi if we want to fully get the project underway. After all, it was he who had a vision of digimon coming to life, which actually came true. Do you happen to know his whereabouts?"
"I have no clue. I have not seen him in years. If I knew, I would have told you from the start."
"I just find it hard to believe that the same digital life forms that you 'created' during your college days would actually become living creatures. How could Shibumi have known about this? It was as if he had predicted that artificial creatures would eventually be given life."
"Yes, but all we did was create artificial life forms that were merely data. We never intentionally wanted to play the part of 'God'."
"I see. Then there's more to this than we thought. But we really need Shibumi. My colleagues have tried to find his locations, but we couldn't even trace his location. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of existence."
"But Shibumi can't be dead. He just couldn't be."
"We're going to continue our search. You need to get together with your colleagues, so we may begin on this operation."
"Right."
Suzie looks up to see a hot-air balloon and goes up to follow it.
"Wow, what a big bawwoon!"
She quickly walked up the slide and went to get a better view of the air balloon. She looked up and went out to reach it. Suddenly, an unknown zone started to surround Suzie and was quickly caught in awe by the vortex.
"Wow, how pwetty."
Just then, Mr. Wong took notice of it and gasped in shock.
"Suzie! Get away from there!"
"What's wrong, daddy?"
He runs over towards the playground and went over to attempt to get Suzie down. Suzie reached out to the top of the slide and noticed a group walking along around the vortex and got a good view of Terriermon walking along with Henry. Suzie's eyes shot up with happiness.
"Aww! Tewwiermon!"
As soon as she said that, the image of the walking group vanished and Suzie was looking on with sadness in her eyes. She goes reaching out into the fading vortex.
"Tewwiermon!"
Mr. Wong and Yamaki go running up the slide, in order to catch up to Suzie. But then, they both slipped and fell backwards as the zone completely started to consume the little girl. Soon after that, Suzie was gone. Mr. Wong looked up and started to break down in tears at what had just happened. First it was his son, and now his youngest daughter.
"No! It's all my fault! It's my fault that I created that stupid program and lost my two children to that digital world! How am I going to tell my wife about this? Damn myself for creating something that is considered dangerous!"
"I think that your daugther might serve a purpose in the Digital World, Janyuu."
"Huh? What are you saying?"
"You need to calm down and listen. The reason why I say this is the fact because your daughter has an imagination and because of that imagination he has, it will enable to her to actually make it out there alone."
"But she's just a little girl…"
"Not for long and I have a good feeling that she will be alright. Her imagination will guide her through."
With this said, Mr. Wong stood up and was now beginning to see things more clearer after what Yamaki had just said. Yamaki has definitely changed from being a crazed madman, who was hell bent on killing every digital life form, but now has started to understand more of the digital world and how it interacts with the imagination's and dreams of children.
"Lets just hope you're right about this, Yamaki."

Earth. Shinjuku, Japan. West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel
Izzy was hooked online to check on the group's progress through the digital world. As soon as he was about to make a pinpoint location, his hard drive started to screw up due to heavy amounts of electrical energy. He quickly shut down his computer and made sure to reboot.
"What just happened, Izzy?" Cody asked.
"There seems to be a high energy increase in the digital world. Something tells me that the guys might be battling a high-level foe."
"Could it be another swarm of Devas?"
"Doubtful. The Devas don't have power that can match with the fusion warriors. In fact, those Devas contained weak levels. Our guys are at higher levels. I'm going to theorize that the new enemies might be highly experienced warriors. I'm talking about many years of experience. There's one thing to remember, digimon can raise their levels through battles alone. Since many eons have passed on, these digimon have altered their own skills and pushed themselves to their maximum limits."
"That makes sense. The same can be said for Tai, Matt, and the others."
"Wrong. Tai, Matt, TK and Kari were among the few to achieve this level of power. They share it with their digimon and as a result evolved into fusion warriors. X informed me that it took nearly thousands of years for an ultimate fusion warrior to be born. Since Omega X came to the picture, it seems Matt, TK and Kari was able to inherit this ability through extreme emotion. Tai became Omega X through anger and love. Matt became Metalla X through lust of power and competition against Tai. TK became Angemon X through love for Kari. Kari became Celesta X through love and anger, just as her brother did."
"What about Davis, Yolei, Ken and myself? We're able to fuse with our fusion…"
"Yes, but there's a major difference. Your fusion evolutions are considered 'false' as far as the legendary status is concerned. Tai, Matt, TK and Kari were able to fuse with their digimon. From what X has informed me, it's not just their bodies that are unified but also their minds, feelings, and thoughts are fused. Unfortunately, you four can only unify you're bodies with the digimon."
"So, that's the difference."
"Yes. X pretty much explained it in great detail. So I only gave you the main points to it. Good. My Internet is back online. Now, we can check on our friends' status in the digital world. I tell this new world is far complex from the one we know."
"What do you see?"
"Ok, I've got an online map of this digital world. You see. There are different sections. Unlike the digital world we've been into, this one contains different regions and is separated through quadrants. There's the north, south, west and west. Just think of them as different countries."
"Almost realistic in a way, right?"
"More or less. Alright, I'm getting a high level reading in one sector near the southern quadrant."
"Zoom in and let's take a peek."
"Alright. Just keep you're fingers crossed."
Izzy clicked onto the sector pinpoint and zoomed in onto a deserted area. He sighs in relief and picks up two high level readings. He blinked as two blurs of light collided with one another.
"Ay-carumba!"
"What's the problem, Izzy?"
"There were two fast powers that just passed by! My computer couldn't even detect them."
"Do they belong to Tai and Matt? Maybe Kari or TK?"
"I don't know, but their levels were pretty strong."
"We definitely have to check this out."
"Now I'm getting two other readings in another sector! They're energy levels are much higher!"
"Just what the heck is going on? It's as if hell has broken loose all of a sudden."
"Just leave it to Tai and Matt to raise some hell. Those two will never be satisfied without a little competition."
"This is Tai and Matt we're talking about, Izzy," Tentomon stated. "Those two will do anything to satisfy their own needs."
"Why couldn't they just take a break and play a little checkers?" Armadillomon stated. "It's always better than trashing everything in sight."
"As far as those two are concerned, put them in a cage and watch the whole planet they're on be destroyed," Izzy replied cynically. "You two better not be beating the crap out of one another. This isn't time to go gung-ho. This is serious. I still need to research more on Shibumi. I'll need at least a recent periodical. Oh, these days just couldn't get any worse. Then again, I bet those guys are having more luck than I'm having…"
*************************************************************************************
Deep within the Southern Quadrant of the Digital World
Suzie found herself landing on purple rocks as she looked out to her surroundings. She was no longer within the playground and there were no signs of her father anywhere. She had no idea, but she was in the digital world. More specifically, she was within the southern regions. It's near the territory of Zhuqiaomon.
"Where am I? Daddy? Daddy, where are you?"
She looks up and an awed look came across her face as she was gazing up at a small, spinning globe with data streams floating around it.
"Wow! This place looks more fun than the playground. Huh? What's that?"
The little girl looks across to see a group of digital 'fairies' flying by towards her. She smiled and went over to try to catch them.
"Hey birdies! Do you know where Tewwiermon is hiding? Maybe you can help me out."
The 'fairies' squeaked to each other and were now flying off into the distance singing happily while Suzie gave chase to them. But she quickly ran out of breath and took off her jacket. As soon as she placed it on some rocks, something comes popping out and running away with the jacket. Suzie looks on as a Kiwimon tears up her jacket.
"Hey! That wasn't nice, you mean bird! That was my jacket!"
Kiwimon responded by shooting out a 'Pummel Peck' towards her. She jumps away and looked on with a surprised look.
"You better stay away you mean ol' bird!"
Kiwimon squawked and makes his way off towards the barren landscape. Suzie looks on and then a sad look comes across her face. Suddenly, several packets of data started to roll by as if they were tumbleweeds. She was memorized by their color and went over to examine them.
"Ooo, pretty balls of light."
As soon as she touched one, she felt her hand receive a little shock and she jumped back with a gasp.
"That hurt! Everybody here is mean!"
With that said, the little girl started to cry and it was loud enough to send off an echo throughout the barren landscape.
Terriermon's ears lifted up and he jumps off from Henry's shoulder. The blue-haired boy takes notice of this.
"What's wrong, Terriermon?"
"Its Suzie! I can hear her voice calling out."
"You mean that Henry's sister is here," asked TK.
"Yeah and she's pretty close. From the echoing of her cries, she's over to the left direction!"
"That's almost towards the land of Zhuiqaomon," Buddamon said, "We better get there as soon as possible, before the Sovereign gets to her first."
"Well, what are we doing standing around like a punch of sap sacks!" Terriermon exclaimed, "I'll lead the way!"
The dog bunny goes running off towards the direction that he had pointed out to. The others were now following him out towards the land of Zhuqiaomon as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, Suzie! Good ol' Miss Pretty Pants is coming to save you,"Terriermon said to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
There was a large destruction left behind after the large energy blast created by both fusion fighters. Trees were all taken up from their roots and canyons were about to collapse.
Omega X hangs near the top of a mountain. He manages to open his eyes and cough out a little bit of blood from his mouth.
"I can't believe how strong they've gotten. Metalla X has gotten a lot more powerful.
Just then, he felt somebody lifting him up and looks up to see Metalla X picking him up by his wrists. A faint smile was seen across Metalla X's face.
"Matt?"
[Disturbed "Stupify" plays]
Metalla X rises from a crouched state as he straightens up into full height and grins. He shouts and tosses Omega X into a nearby rock wall. Omega X cries out in surprise and Metalla X takes a step forward, chuckling. Omega X looks right up at his so-called friend. Metalla X holds hold his hand and throws out several ki blasts from the tip of his index and middle fingers. Bands of ki wrap around each of Omega X's wrist, ankles and his neck, tightening and holding him down against the wall. Metalla X drops his hand and disappears right in front of Omega X, with a grin on his face.
"What's wrong, Tai? Weren't you going to finish this off quickly?"
"That's what I'm going to do!"
"Hmph! I couldn't tell!"
Metalla X then delivers two slaps across his adversary's face. Omega X was now getting angrier as a result and seething.
"What's wrong, clown?! Are you humiliated? Is that it?! Fool! You don't know what humiliation is!"
Metalla X knees Omega X in the gut, and then delivers several punches into his face and his gut. Then more punches into Omega X's face and stomach, which caused him to cough out more blood. Metalla X then delivers a kick near Omega X's midsection. Omega X coughs out more blood, which brought a smile on Metalla X's face.
"Its not enough! This isn't enough to take revenge against you! You have taken my possible chance of leadership of the Digi-Destined. I was to be the one to lead the group, but you got in the way! Ever since we first entered the Digital World, I've always wanted to get rid of you. I can't forgive myself for being surpassed by the likes of you! Not only that, but you even saved my own life!"
Omega X hangs motionlessly but wasn't able to respond since he was basically busted open from the inside.
"I'll punish you with death by dismemberment!"
Metalla X holds up his hands while his eyes started to glow a crimson color, which indicated his pure anger and hatred.
"Your arms will come off first!"
Suddenly, Omega X's slowly opens his eyes and looks up. He quickly clenches his fists, his arms quiver and they bulk up. He begins to scream quietly, but then raises it to all new volumes as he powered out with even more force. This quickly caught Metalla X by surprise.
"What?!"
Omega X charges up his ki with one loud scream and the entire area around him explodes. The burst of energy throws Metalla X back a few inches, and then it ends with Omega X free from the wall. He stands before Metalla X with his arms still held by the two huge slabs of rock that he pulled free from the wall with the rest of his body. He jumps forward and smashes the slab on his right arm into Metalla X, who was still stunned. The rock shatters, and Omega X follows it up with the other arm. Screaming, Metalla X flies back with all the smaller rocks that came from out of the two shattered slabs.
Omega X charges forward and meets him in the sky, hitting him with a barrage of punches to the gut. Metalla X grunts in pain and when Omega X lets up, he clutches his stomach. Omega X knees him hard in the face and Metalla X sails through a hollow cliff side. Omega X follows him and lands inside.
Omega X began looking around inside the cave and he found no traces of Metalla X anywhere. Did he do him in already? No it was too obvious. Sunlight starts to shine through the opening onto Omega X, which managed to catch him off guard. He closes his eyes.
"Where is he?!"
Small rocks start to fall and Omega X spins around to see a ki blast coming right for him. He manages to catch it, but struggles against it for a few moments. He finally manages to throw it out through the opening.
"I'm right here, clown!"
Metalla X suddenly appears behind Omega X and locks his arms around his adversary tightly. He then goes flying straight up, carrying Omega X along with him, and intends of impaling Omega X on a stalactite. Omega X looks on with a gasp. Metalla X stops right in front and Omega X suddenly charges up his ki, throwing Metalla X back. Omega X spins around with his hands cupped together.
"Terra Beam!"
Metalla quickly throws up his arms and starts to form his attack at the same time.
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
From the outside of the cave, there is a bright orange light pouring out from the hole, and then the entire cave is now beginning to fracture with red lightning bolts forming around it. More orange light shines through the cracks and the whole cave explodes like as if several bombs have been placed within it. Now a bright flash starts to engulf the landscape and a huge mushroom cloud starts to rise up.
Rocks and debris start to fly up into the skies above as Omega X and Metalla X stare each other down in the sky above the devastated cave. They had their eyes locked onto each other with fueling rage and anger towards each other. As soon as the light slowly started to fade away, there was nothing left of the cave but a large crater.
Beelzebumon looks on from a far distance with awe look on his face. He quickly turns around and is met with a 'Lightning Joust' by Gallantmon.
"Don't take your eyes off of me, Beelzebumon! We still have a fight to continue! Unless, you've realized that you can only just surrender yourself to me. Even if that does happen, I'm not going to forgive you."
"No way! I am not giving up to you! I'd rather die than lose to the likes to you! I can't be beat! The Sovereign has given me the chance to destroy the likes of you! Digimon and humans working together is unforgivable, but them merging is disgusting! You disgust me!"
"And you even disgust me even more by sealing your soul because you refused the offer of friendship."
"Friends are only for the weak! Strength is what makes you the better warrior!"
"No, I've got plenty of friends and I'm not weak. Don't let your anger blind you, Beelzebumon."
"Shut up and fight me! One of us is going to die after this is all said and done!"
"And it will be you…"
Gallantmon goes charging right at Beelzebumon, but the biker demon phases out and reappears behind Gallantmon. Beelzebumon starts punching the knight warrior from his back and delivers a kick sending Gallantmon flying towards nearby rock canyons.
"Ha! You like it when you have your face in the dirt?! Have I humiliated you enough, your majesty?"
Beelzebumon goes walking over towards the fallen debris and pulls out his guns. He kicks away several rocks and looks down to see nothing, not even a trace of Gallantmon.
"What? But how could he do that?"
"Over here, Beelzebumon!"
Beelzebumon turns around and gets nailed right in the face by Gallantmon's shield. Beelzebumon goes flying back and lands on his back. Gallantmon slowly walks over towards the biker's fallen body.
"Now, I shall punish you for what you have done. Surrender now."
"No go to hell…"
"Which is where you are about to go now!"
Beelzebumon's eyes opened quickly and he goes running off into the distance. He then waves over towards Gallantmon.
"C'mon, rust bucket! Come and get me! I hope you know that I got good stamina. Lets see you try to catch up to me!"
"Shall we go follow him?"
"Lets go Guilmon. I don't trust him but if it means delivering more punishment to him, then I'm taking that chance!"
Gallantmon goes running off after Beelzebumon, but use his phasing out technique to get him across further distances. This way, he would be able to catch up to Beelzebumon much faster.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Bottom-level floor.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme plays]
Shintomon, Renamon and Celesta X land right at the bottom level of the ship, at last. Renamon sets Rika down and the red-haired girl gasped at what she saw.
"Take a look at that!"
They all looked up and Shintomon gasped in horror. What they were seeing before them was the ball containing D-Reaper. It continues glowing intermittently and as it absorbs the damage energy from the battle taking place between Omega X and Metalla X. It sounded like loud gurgling sounds every time it pulsated. They stare up at the sphere at its entirety.
"Is that D-Reaper's sphere?" asked Celesta X.
"Yes. The evil D-Reaper created by Black Magimon is in there."
Renamon stares right up into the ball and never felt so frightened in her life.
"Incredible. I never felt such a strong evil ki before,"the neon-colored fox said to herself.
Just then, Dark Magimon's voice calls out. The group all turned their attention over to two figures emerging from both sides of the D-Reaper's sphere. Dark Magimon and King Devimon came revealing themselves.
"That's exactly right," said Dark Magimon, "Welcome!"
The sorcerer giggles and then looks right over towards Shintomon with a grin on his face.
"Thank you for coming, Shintomon."
Shintomon glares right over at Dark Magimon and gets into a fighting pose.
"I've come to kill you, Magimon."
"You killed my father."
"And I came to stop D-Reaper's resurrection!"
"Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be that easy for you anyway. I have King Devimon, the King of the Devimons, right here."
The demon grins over towards Celesta X while licking his lips. Celesta X glares at him and gets into a fighting stance.
"Okay! Lets hurry with this, Hikari and Rika. While we're doing this, D-Reaper is absorbing Taichi's damage energy."
Celesta X and Renamon both straighten up.
"Right," they both exclaimed.
"I'll take on Dark Magimon myself," replied Shintomon.
Suddenly, red electricity dances around D-Reaper's sphere. Yet the others don't realize that D-Reaper is slowly gaining more energy by ever hit that Omega X takes and it was happening much quicker than anybody expected.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Suddenly, two balls of light collide over a crater, sending out a gigantic shockwave. The light quickly fades away and reveals the two fusion warriors fighting.
Metalla X throws a kick with his left foot that Omega X was able to block. Another with his right, then again with his right, and they were both blocked. Left was blocked twice. Rights were also blocked once again. Finally, Omega X throws in a kick of his own with his left boot, and Metalla X was able to block it. They separate and then charge forward again, going into a frenzy of punches, kicks, blocks and dodges.
They separate once more, and then jump back at each other, locking arms and fighting with legs alone. The battle gives off a lot of energy in the form of yellow electricity as a result. Omega X and Metalla X grin at each other and finally, they separate again before jumping back into another barrage of punches and kicks.
Beelzebumon goes running off as he phases right out. Gallantmon was caught completely by surprise and looks around his surroundings.
"Where did he go? He just completely disappeared out of nowhere!"
Suddenly, he turns around and Beelzebumon delivers a punch to his face that sent Gallantmon flying back. Beelzebumon goes rushing over towards the fallen Gallantmon.
"He caught us off guard. I just lost track of him."
"Guilmon? What do you see now?"
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, a gun came pointing to Gallantmon's head. Takato looked on with a terrified look on his face. Beelzebumon was facing himself in front of Gallantmon and pointed the gun into the knight's head. Gallantmon had now found himself in one of the most dangerous situations and it could very well cost him his life.
"Any last words? Well I got some," Beelzebumon said with a grin on his face. "Goodbye..."
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Bottom level.
The sphere of the D-Reaper glows from a lifeless gray to a bright orange-red. And it does this repeatedly over and over again. Shintomon, Renamon and Celesta X watch it uneasily.
Meanwhile, the energy meter is still going crazy, signaling that D-Reaper is still receiving large amounts of damage energy from the fight between Omega X and Metalla X back on the surface within the Digital World.
King Devimon stands in front of the sphere with his arms crossed with a grin on his face. Next to him, Dark Magimon stands giggling to himself.
"Hikari. Rika. We have to defeat them before that sphere reaches critical mass. If D-Reaper is reborn, the two Digital Worlds along with Earth will be destroyed within an instant."
Both girls don't take their eyes off the sphere, but Celesta X managed to reply.
"Right."
The two of them along with Renamon took fighting stances while facing both Dark Magimon and King Devimon.
"Shintomon? Do you want to go up to the surface? D-Reaper should be coming out of this sphere as soon as it reaches full power and I wouldn't want it to destroy my ship if he gets a little carried away."
"Fine, but it still won't keep us from stopping your attempt to resurrect D-Reaper."
Dark Magimon giggles at his mere words and speaks up once again.
"Do you really think that you can stop us?"
King Devimon chuckles while the sorcerer throws up his arms in place, so that he will cast his spell.
"PARAPATA!"
Rika and Celesta gasp as all of them, including the D-Reaper's sphere, were now outside of the ship. They look around and see a very ominous, cloudy purple sky. The statues of Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon remain on the nearby mountain.
"Well, King Devimon, I'm only asking to make sure, but are you confident that you can beat those two digimon?"
King Devimon smiles and turns his attention over towards both Celesta X and Renamon.
"Of course. I've already fought the one named Celesta X, and I'm positive I can take care of that garbage."
The demon chuckled. This in turn leads to more giggling from Dark Magimon.
"You can do whatever you want with them," said the sorcerer, "You can turn them to stone or just simply annihilate them. I don't care."
"Yes."
The three digimon all looked on while still in their battle poses, with Rika looking on giving Renamon the encouragement she needs.
"I just hope Takato has taken care of Beelzebumon already. What the hell is taking him so long,"Rika thought.
**************************************************************************************
Other Side of the Digital Side, But nearing Southern Quadrant.
Beelzebumon had Gallantmon down where he wanted him and pointed his gun towards his head. The mighty knight could only look on with surprise, as the demon was about to kill him.
"So, any last words, your highness? I'm going to upload your data and then I'm going after that girl you seem to like so much. Oh yeah, then I'll upload fox face's data. Don't worry; they'll both be taken care of… They're in my hands now…"
[Deftones "Shove It" plays]
This was further infuriating Takato from within as he looked towards Beelzebumon straight into his red blood-shot eyes. He clenched his teeth and lets out a scream that enabled Gallantmon to power up for his next attack. The knight shoots out two beams from his eyes and it struck Beelzebumon right in the arm. This caused the demon biker to scream out and drop his gun.
Gallantmon powered up with an aura surrounding his body. His joust and shield morph back into arms as Gallantmon goes flying right at Beelzebumon and delivers a punch to his face. Beelzebumon goes flying back, but Gallantmon reappears behind him and delivers an elbow shot to his back. Beelzebumon goes flying back and crashes right through a nearby canyon wall.
"Alright, we got him down! If we keep this up at this rate, he's sure to slow down."
"Good, thinking, Takato."
Just as the dust cloud was fading away, Beelzebumon was slowly making it up to his feet. He looks ahead and notices that Gallantmon had already disappeared. He gasps and then looks around his surroundings. There was no trace of Gallantmon anywhere. But as soon as he turned around, he saw Gallantmon with a glowing fist. The knight wrenches back and clocks Beelzebumon right to the side of the head, which sent the biker demon flying across.
"How... How are you getting this power?"
Gallantmon just stood there without even answering his adversary.
"There's no way that you could have gotten this power. It must be that human boy that you merged with. I can't believe you, pineapple. We could have done many great things together. We could have scared off all those humans in the park. You had a chance to be a free soul. But your just nothing more than a slave, just like the rest of them. Well, I'm not going to tolerate it anymore! We finish this and only one of us are going to be standing here alive!"
"Beelzebumon. You declined friendship and nearly took away two valuable souls. And I'm sure you also murdered many digimon along your path, just to make yourself stronger. Well, its ends here. You now must pay for your crimes."
"Then shut up and fight me!"
Beelzebumon looks ahead towards what looked like a large, gothic castle. He goes pointing out towards the castle with a grin on his face.
"There! Lets settle out differences over there. Follow me."
"Should we go? He must ambush us, Guilmon."
"Lets just go anyways. Remember, we're working together. We'll be ready for whatever he throws at us."
"Alright, Beelzebumon. Lead the way."
"I knew that you would reconsider. Follow me."
The two mega-level digimon go flying off into the skies above as they were heading off towards the land of the Southern Sovereign, where they would decide the final fate of their one on one battle. But little did they realize that Zhuiqaomon would be watching them.
***************************************************************************************
Suzie found herself walking right towards the land of Zhuqiaomon, but little did she realize that there was a guard standing tall outside of the gates. She peered closer and it looked like a giant, rabbit with long arms and long legs. A smile came across her face.
"A bunny rabbit! Maybe he can help me find Tewwiermon!"
As soon as she said that, she goes running up towards the rabbit creature and looks right up at it. The rabbit stands there but doesn't make any eye contact with the little girl.
"Excuse me, Mr. Bunny Rabbit. Can you help me find somebody?"
The rabbit simply stood there ignoring her.
"Hello? Are you thewe?"
It ignored her yet again.
"Hmmm. But I want help to find Tewwiermon. Can you please help me?"
"Go home, little human," the rabbit digimon replied.
"But no one is looking and I think it's a good time to make some friends."
With that said, the digimon goes lowering down into a crouch and faces the little girl.
"Hello. My name is Antiramon. I am the rabbit deva that guards the southern gate of the Digimon Sovereign. Don't mistake me as a male. I'm really female."
"You're a girl? You know what? You look kinda like Tewwiermon. You got the small little, horns on your foweheads. Hello, my name is Suzie and I'm trying to find Tewwiermon."
"I'm not allowed to leave this bridge unguarded. I would suffer the ultimate punishment if I were to depart from my duty."
"Maybe I could find Tewrriermon from the top of your head."
"No, I'm sorry."
The little girl started throwing a fit and crying, which made the rabbit change her mind.
"Uh! Oh alright."
With that said, she scoops up Suzie in her hands and places her on top of her head. Suzie looked across and saw somebody coming from a far distance.
"Hey, that looks like Tewwiermon. Ah! It is, Tewwiermon!"
"Then, in that case…"
Antiramon goes flunging her head and this causes the little girl to fall off. She goes and catches the girl in her hands. Just then, Suzie looked just about out of it with her eyes closed and making no sudden movements.
"Huh? Hey, kid, are you alright?"
Suzie quickly opened her eyes and a smile comes across her face.
"Fooled ya, but I did see Tewwiermon."
"And you did!" a voice cried out, "Over here, Suzie."
Suzie turned around to see none other than Terriermon and the rest of the group. She goes running up to Terriermon and hugs him a hug, which caused the dog bunny to cry out for air.
"Ack! Can't breathe!"
"Suzie! How did you get here?" Henry asked.
"I don't know. I touched some pwetty light and poof, here I am."
"She found a digital vortex somewhere within the real world and it brought her here. If that's the case, then she must also serve a purpose much like the rest of you," said Buddamon.
"But how? She's only a little girl," said TK.
"Well, if he says that she serves a purpose, then she does and there's nothing we do about it," Sonja said.
"Much like us huh," Kazu said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah. What he said," replied Guardromon.
"Uh. Yeah, unfortunately."
"Hey, what's that digimon standing with you, Suzie?"
As soon as he asked that, Henry pulls out his D-Ark and got a reading on the digimon. Suddenly, a hologram image appeared with statistics.
[Antiramon. Ultimate-level. Deva type. Special Attacks: Bunny Blades]
"What?! That thing is a Deva?!" Jeri asked frantically.
"Suzie, get away from him! He's dangerous," exclaimed Henry.
"No! She was helping me try to find Tewwiermon. She's not bad!"
"We can't trust him! Get over here now," Henry ordered.
"But I can't-"
Just as she was about to finish her sentence, they all looked out towards the distance as two bright lights collided with one another and blasts were being heard.
"What the hell was that?" asked TK.
"There's a battle taking place," replied Leomon, "Two enormous kis. One of which belongs to Guilmon… and Takato?"
"What? Guilmon and Takato?" asked Henry.
"We better check this out," Kenta replied, "This must be a good fight!"
"Suzie leave him and come with us," said Henry.
"There are intruders around Zhuqiaomon's castle! I have to see to this!" Antiramon exclaimed.
"Antiramon. Wait, we can't go."
"But I have to Suzie."
"But you'll get hurt."
"Its a risk I'm willing to take."
"No, don't go."
"Suzie, come on! Lets go!"
"No, Henry! I can't let Antiramon go into this fight!"
Just then, a bright, floating object comes appearing from above Suzie. She looks up in awe and snatches it.
"No way! You've got to be kidding me!" said Henry.
"Is that what I think it is?" Kazu asked.
"Yes. A D-Ark. Suzie is the newest Tamer and her partner… Antiramon," said Buddamon.
"You've got to be kidding me?! Suzie?! She's a Tamer to a Deva?! That's not right!" TK exclaimed.
"Whether its right or not, its the way it is. But we have more issues to worry about, such as the battle taking place outside of the Sovereign's castle," Buddamon said, "We must go."
"I can't believe this. I'm a Tamer," Suzie said.
"Wahh! I can't believe I haven't gotten a digimon yet. Now a little girl has beat me to it," said Kenta.
"Quit your whining Kenta, or do I have to knock your head out?" asked Sonja, "Straighten up! Its time to get serious!"
"She's right dude. You better toughen up," said Kazu.
Buddamon goes flying off into the distance while the digimon and their partners went along to follow them.
Just ahead of them, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon were facing each other off as they were now prepared for their final fated battle.
"Well. The table is all set. Our cards are all decked and stacked. Are you ready, your royal highness?"
"Lets do this…"

Earth. Shinjuku, Japan
Joe drove down towards the West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel. He had just been informed by Izzy to meet with him. This not only forced Joe to cancel a class, but to also put his plans on a day-off to a halt.
"Man, you just had to pick another day to halt my day-off plans, Izzy," Joe muttered.
"Look on the bright side, Joe. At least, you didn't have to sit through another boring lecture. The exam was pushed back until next time."
"That's a relief. I wonder what has Izzy worked up so much."
"Probably another system failure on his computer…"
"Doesn't that guy ever leave his computer? I mean really!"
Joe and Gomamon were just a few minutes away from the West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel. Once he gets there, he would also meet up with Mimi and Yolei.
"I'd better call Sora. She might want to be interested in what Izzy has to say."
"At least she doesn't use the Internet as often as Izzy."
"I think any of us don't use the Internet as often as Izzy. He needs a break. Gee, I wonder what kind of fun Tai and Matt are having in that alternate digital world.
"Probably wrecking the whole place as usual."

Elsewhere in Digital World
Omega X goes lunging forward with a scream, but is quickly knocked back by a punch to the face. He falls and Metalla X gives chase, powering up for a strong kick. Before he can follow on the punch, Omega X returns with a punch of his own, and Metalla X grunts in pain and surprise. Omega X attempts his own follow up and is met with by a kick that he blocks. Then it turns into a contest full of flurry fists and kicks.
[Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays]
Omega X was on the defense, simply blocking his adversary's every hits, but soon that changes as Omega X goes into attacking as well. They fight straight through a mountain, which explodes within a matter of moments. Within the dust cloud, Omega X manages to get a strong kick into Metalla X and he follows it up with a retaliated punch. Omega X flies up from the dust cloud, and Metalla X misses only hitting a rock instead. As more rocks crumble and dust clouds settle, Metalla X watches his adversary from a few yards.
"You've definitely have gotten stronger, Tai. But is this is all that you are capable of after receiving power from Azulongmon and training for all those years."
"You've gotten better as well, Matt. You're much stronger than I expected.
Metalla X grins and quickly phases out. He appears behind Omega X, who immediately spins around to meet him. Metalla X kicks at Omega X as he was turning, but Omega X dodges it and elbows Metalla X. Metalla X falls but catches himself and lands on his feet on the ground. Omega X lands across from him. Metalla X fires a ki blast but Omega X was able to jump away. The blast nails a mountain from behind him and crumbles as the two fighters began to go at it once again.
There were now only sounds of the fight itself. Their movements were now invisible to the naked eye already. Everything goes in slow motion, matrix style. Omega X has his leg outstretched and Metalla X with his arms up in a blocking position. Metalla X punches Omega X in the face and Omega X falls. Metalla X follows it up immediately with a strong punch to the back, with Omega X crying out in pain.

Dark Magimon's ship. Ground level.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
"I'm glad that you came, Shintomon," Dark Magimon replied, "I can at last take vengeance upon you. You killed my father. He must have let his guard down fighting against you."
As a light wind of dust blows across the stretch of land, it separated the whole group.
"I won't let you kill me as you killed my father. Not only am I much stronger than he was, but I also have King Devimon with me."
The demon's eyes widen just a bit and this caused Shintomon to gasp. King Devimon grins.
"I don't have any openings against him. It doesn't matter how I attack him. He'll kill me with his magic,"Shintomon said to himself.
Behind Dark Magimon and King Devimon, the sphere continued its intermittent glowing. The meter is drawing ever closer to the D and the final percentage of its full power. Rika, Renamon and Celesta X looked out towards with shock on their faces.
"Damn! How can I defeat him? Even now, D-Reaper is collecting at an incredible rate,"Celesta X said to herself.
Just then, she heard her brother's voice echoing out from her mind.
"Get angry, Kari. Get angry."
Suddenly, an image of her brother appeared in her mind as a way to help motivate her to attack with everything she's got.
"Tai…"
"Remember, how you became angry when you fought against Virus? Put forth all of your hidden power. If you do that, you can defeat anyone. Anyone at all!"
Celesta X clenches her fists and a little bit of lighting dances around her body. Rika and Renamon both look over to her.
"What's she doing?" Rika asked.
"She's channeling in her anger from within. It seems that she was only holding back and somebody is giving her the motivation to release her true power."
"Unbelievable…"
"I am angry. I am angry, but I'm not as angry as I was as a teenager. Not like when I fought Virus."
Her eyes quickly widen in an angry, determined glare as she looked back to seven years ago, during the last moments she defeated Virus.
Flashback
"SEVEN HEAVEN'S CHARM!"
Celesta X looks out as if she were a deep trance but then she quick regains her senses. She screams out and shoots out her Seven Heavens Beam, pushing in more energy into it. A huge explosion occurs and the beam quickly overtakes Virus' Positron Laser. Virus turns his back and watches the beam going right through him.
"No! This can't be happening!"
Celesta X pushes back on her Seven Heavens Beam and watches it starting to kill Virus. The beam was too much for the evil artificial to handle and he let out his last screams.
"Ahhh!"
Celesta X concentrates on more of her energy and pushes the beam right through Virus and watching his body slowly starts to decompose. His once fully evolved body was disintegrating right before her very own eyes.
"Impossible! I'm… supposed to be… the fully… evolved being!"
The blast then starts to disintegrate the whole body of Virus down to his very nucleus. Even the last single nucleus was quickly vanquished and the last remains of Virus were no more. The enormous ki blast continues into the realm of the dark realm, where it dissipates.
End of Flashback
Celesta X spreads her legs out as she takes a fighting pose. Electricity danced all over her body. Small pebbles began to rise up all around her. King Devimon grins and Celesta X continues his power up.
"I'm just going to have to do it!"
A light pink-white aura begins to stream all around her body as the lightning continues. Finally, she reaches her full maximum form, throwing up a small dust cloud that quickly dissipates. She was proceeding to enter her Amazing Grace phase.
Dark Magimon's eyes widen and he takes a step back away, but King Devimon doesn't move. Celesta X, Renamon and Shintomon glare ahead silently. Dark Magimon smiles as a light wind sweeps across in front of them. Lightning manages to crack off in the sky from a far distance. With a shout, Celesta X spreads her feet and kicks up a little dust. Dark Magimon takes one more step back and Celesta X goes charging forwards.
Suddenly, Dark Magimon hears a sound from the sphere and turns around to see that the needle hovering just barely to the left of the D. Celesta X gasps and stops dead in her tracks. All eyes stare on the sphere.
"Its can't be. It can't be!" the sorcerer said in surprise.
He walks over and look down at the meter, then back to the ball itself.
"Not that fast…"
The needle finally takes that last jump, pointing directly at the 100 percent mark-the D that signals its completion. Dark Magimon cries out in surprise and Shintomon in fear as he rushes forward.
"We're too late!" Renamon said.
"Damn it! It can't be!" exclaimed Rika.
Lightning strikes the ground and thunder roared throughout the area. Dark Magimon stares down at the meter in shock, gasping and backing away.
"What is it, Dark Magimon?"
"Full power. Its at full power!"
Shintomon's mouth drops open and he gasps in terror. The storm rages on and the sphere continued its intermittent glow. The sorcerer throws up his arms into the air and laughs.
"At last! D-Reaper will be resurrected!"
The others look on with widened eyes, all completely stunned.
"Impossible! It can't be happening," Shintomon exclaimed, "Why?! How can Omega X's damage energy have already gotten that high?!"
"No that's it," said Celesta X, "My brother is fighting at the level that surpasses that of a normal fused warrior. Metalla X is probably fighting at that level too!"
Shintomon gasps and looks right back towards the sphere with widened eyes.
"When warriors that powerful face off, the damage they do should be powerful as well!"
"Damn it!"
"We did it, King Devimon! We did it!"
"Yes, we did, Dark Magimon."

Earth. West Shinjuku, Japan. Shinjuku Park Biyomon was seen picking flowers from the park's flowerbeds. Sora sat on a bench while making a flower bouquet. Just then, her cell phone rang. Sora answered her phone and received a call from Joe.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Sora."
"Hey, Joe. How's everything?"
"Just peachy, Sora. Listen. It seems Izzy wants us to come over to the Dragon Hotel. It sounded like he had something important to tell us."
"Really? Does it concern our friends?"
"How should I know? Just meet me over at the West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel. See you then."
"I'm on my way. Goodbye."
Sora hung her phone up and picked up her bouquet.
"Biyomon! We're going to the Dragon Hotel."
"Figures. We didn't come all the way here in Shinjuku to be harassed."
"I know we needed a little break from soccer coaching, but it looks like Izzy has something important to tell us. It's probably an update on Tai, Takato and the others. I really need to know if they're fine."
"In that case, let's go."
"Tai. You and Matt had been on your best behaviors, but I have a good idea of what's going on. You two are wrecking the place again, aren't ya'll. Typical guys…"
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Omega X and Metalla X continue their fight. Metalla X shouts and they throw up a cloud of dust. Their fight drives them into the side of the mountain, which collapses. Omega X emerges from the dust cloud and Metalla X follows him into the sky. He throws a ki blast at Omega X, but he jumps at the side and dodges it. Metalla throws another one and Omega X slices through it in half, both sides exploding in the air nearby.
Metalla X throws three more in succession, but Omega X manages to dodge each of them. Then another one shows up and he slices it in half as well. Both halves fly off from each other and explode into the ground.
Omega X stands in the clearing smoke and Metalla X flies in from behind them. He spins around and receives a knee to the gut, and he grunts in pain. He starts to fall, but Metalla X grabs him by the head, covering his mouth. He thugs on Omega X as he charges up his ki and begins racing towards the ground.
"What's the matter, clown?!"
They crash into the earth of the Digital World and as the dust settles, Omega X staggers up to his feet. Metalla X shows up immediately, throwing his entire body into Omega X with a strong head butt. Omega X flies back and slides through the dirt, and Metalla X throws a ki blast after him. Omega X jumps up and the blast hits some rocks behind him. Omega X disappears into the explosion. Metalla X immediately throws another ki blast just to his left of the first one and Omega X goes crouching behind some more rocks.
"Die, Tai! Die!"
He goes lunging forward with his arm outstretched, but when the dust clears, Omega X is gone. He gasps in shock and looks around.
"Pretty good, Matt."
Metalla X spins around to see Omega X levitating quite a distance behind him, his arms crossed and his body looking relatively undamaged considering the beating he had taken.
"Now that's what I call an ass-kicking, Matt. Let's end this."
***************************************************************************************
Southern Gateway of Southern Sovereign
Just within the lair of the castle, a large wave of fire was looking down upon Chatsuramon. Red eyes were beginning to glow as a dark, mysterious voice spoke.
"It seems we have a traitor on our hands. I want you execute Antiramon and make her pay for her crimes. Do you understand?"
"As you wish…"
With that said, Chatsuramon phases out and reappears right on the battlefield. The group stopped as Chatsuramon stood in their way.
"Stop right there! Antiramon, you dare side with these humans and betray the Deva code? I won't allow it, and neither will the Sovereign."
"You stay away from us!" Henry exclaimed.
"That doggie is mean! Did we do something bad?" asked Suzie.
"No. He's the one that's bad," replied Antiramon.
"Your betrayal shall not go unpunished," Chatsuramon exclaimed as he leapt forward and knocks Antiramon down with a devastating head butt.
"Oh no! Antiramon!"
"Suzie! Get away from here!"
"Betraying the Sovereign is unforgivable! Any last words?" the dog deva asked.
"Yeah! I got one!" a voice called out.
"What?!"
"Why don't you pick on somebody your own size!"
With that said, Gallantmon's hand turns into a joust and then he charges up with bolts of energy erupting from his joust. He points out and shoots it right for Chatsuramon.
"Lightning Joust!"
As soon as the blast nit Chatsuramon, he lets out s horrifying howl of pain before he exploded into data.
"Long live the Sovereign!"
Suddenly, Beelzebumon appears out of nowhere and gathers the last of Chatsuramon's data, as a way to make himself a little stronger.
"I'll take that! Ha! Ha!"
"No!"
"Hey! Just who are you?" asked TK, "Friend or foe?"
"What are you talking about? It's me, Guilmon. Takato and I fused to become Gallantmon. And that monster over there is Impmon's evolved mega form, Beelzebumon."
"Impmon?! He digivovled?!" asked Patamon, "Well that's something you don't see everyday!"
"I'll take care of everything here! We can take Beelzebumon!"
"I don't think so!" the biker demon called out.
Gallantmon turns and gets nailed by a spinning back kick from Beelzebumon. Gallantmon goes falling down onto the ground, which bought Beelzebumon time to make his charge over at him.
"Darkness Claw!"
Gallantmon quickly sits up and uses his shield to phase out the Darkness Claw attack and goes slashing at Beelzebumon with his joust, but Beelzebumon hops away at each attempt.
"I really can't believe how powerful these fusion beings can be. First it was Celesta X, then it was Omega X and now it was Metalla X. Now Gallantmon? This is incredible! Perhaps they do have the power to defeat the D-Reaper, which I doubt will happen," Buddamon said to himself.
"This is awesome! Go Takato1" Kazu cheered, "You got him where you got him, chumley!"
"Unbelievable, then both Guilmon and Takato must be one mind if they can cooperate with each other. I don't think I can ever handle another voice in my head. Too freaky," said Kenta.
"That's Takato and Guilmon… They're awesome!" Jeri said with an awe expression.
"Their power levels are tremendous," replied Leomon, "Not even at our best could we ever top their level. Lets just hope that Tai and Matt are finished. There is no time for them to settle their differences."
"Well, if you could only reason that with Matt. I hope he realizes that the fate of the two digital worlds, including the real world are at stake here," said TK, "But knowing my brother, he's too stubborn to even realize that."
The group looked back over to the battle as Antiramon was slowly reviving herself. Suzie was relieved to see her new partner up and trying to recover.
"I still can't believe that my own little sister is a Tamer. And it all happened too soon. Just what the heck does this mean? Why is she even a partner to a Deva?"
***************************************************************************************

[Rob Zombie "Never Gonna Stop Me" plays]
Omega X is now on the offensive, throwing punch after punch at Metalla X's face and upper torso. He knocks Metalla X back a little and kicks him hard, sending him flying up and into a nearby mountain, which then collapses on him. The rocks pile up and before Metalla X can recover, Omega X throws a ki blast at the rubble. The ensuing explosion throws up a large cloud of dust and levels what remained of the mountain. A ki blast erupts from near the top of the dust cloud and catches Omega X off guard. He jumps out of the way, barely dodging it. Omega X flies off from the cloud.
"Hold on a minute!" exclaimed Metalla X, "I have a strange premonition."
"Cut the crap! No matter what trick you use, I won't lose to you!"
Small shockwaves and bursts of light explode from within the dust cloud. Finally, the two fusion warriors emerge from the dust cloud with Metalla X on the offensive, but Omega X doing a better job of blocking. Omega X falls back just a bit and Metalla X takes the opportunity to pull back a strong punch. He throws it and Omega X quickly flies off. Metalla X chases him and hits him again, and then he drops to about the same level as Omega X is at when he regains control so that for just a second, they're standing apart.
"You have done well, Tai," said Metalla X.
"Its too bad that you used up so much energy," replied Omega X.
"What? I haven't even started yet."
He quickly charges up his ki and disappears. Omega X follows suit. They land on the ground facing each other from several yards apart. Both are breathing heavily.
"I don't believe it. I thought I had done impossibly hard training with the Holy Beasts. Looks like we're evenly matched. You've trained even harder than I have."
"Your wrong. I may have trained harder than you did, but you have more battle prowess than I do. No matter what I do, that difference will always exist. I realized that when you fought that monster Dark Magimon sent, Majiramon. I was really shocked, Tai. That a super fighting genius like me would always be surpassed by someone like you."
Metalla X clenches his fists and he looks right back over at Omega X.
"So I made the hardest decision I've ever made."
A grin comes across Metalla X's face and Omega X had quickly realized what he was trying to say.
"I see. It was through Dark Magimon's magic. You allowed yourself to be possessed by Dark Magimon."
"Yeah. I saw how much power it had given to such digimon such as Makuramon. His kind is normally weak but we were given a boost of power to make himself stronger once he got possessed. And I allowed myself to be possessed, so that our equal power would quickly be different. Now the difference between us has disappeared."
"You needed to get stronger that you even ignored your pride enough to be possessed by him."
"I… I… I wanted to be something that I always wanted to be…"
Metalla X quickly throws his head back and his arms down, charging up his ki and sending out small shockwaves that throw up dust and debris.
"I wanted to fight you as a cold-hearted, single-minded digital warrior with no worry about how I would affect other people! I hated myself.
Slowly, Metalla X was beginning to calm himself from that rage that he had just released.
"Its all because of you and everybody else that influenced me to become peaceful! I grouped a band in order to tour across the world, I grew love for Mimi and had a son."
Omega X looks across Metalla X, who was now staring up into the skies with a few tears coming down his eyes.
"I even started to appreciate everyone else, including my own brother, TK. I was no longer the jerk I once was. I'm no longer that bad boy that always craved for the spotlight. So I had to be possessed by Dark Magimon to in order to release the darkness within my heart."
Metalla X's sad expression quickly turns into that of a small grin.
"And because of that, I feel pretty damn good."
Omega X looks up, with his smile fading away.
"Is that really true, Matt? Is that what you were thinking this whole time?"
Metalla X responds by charging up his ki, and Omega X does the same. They faced off with a strong gust of wind passing right by in between them.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon. Ground Level.
D-Reaper's sphere continues glowing intermittently. Around it, small holes started to pop open and the holes were starting to glow with light. The needle hovers over the D on the energy meter.
"It's happened at last, Dark Magimon," said King Devimon.
The evil sorcerer looks on with an absolutely ecstatic look on his face.
"D-Reaper's seal has been dissolved," Dark Magimon while laughing. "D-Reaper is going to come out!"
Shintomon, Renamon, Rika and Celesta X stand bac, watching fearfully, but Celesta X was ready to fight whatever pops out from the ball itself. Steam begins to run out of the glowing holes, while Dark Magimon looks on gasping. Shintomon's eyes go wide and he cries out in fear as he watches the steam rise into the air. Celesta X, Renamon and Rika all watch in fearful curiosity. Lightning tears through the sky in the background as the storm rages on.

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
The Seal Opens! The D-Reaper Awakens!
Earth. West Shinjuku
Waiting over at West Shinjuku Dragon hotel, the two Digi-Destined, Mimi and Yolei, were sitting outside of the lobby with their babies on their laps. Palmon and Hawkmon had decided to tag along since they were tired of being cooped up back over at Kari's apartment home. They had now become restless over the fact that Izzy had not arrived yet.
"God! What the hell is keeping him so long? We've been waiting here for almost a whole day! Mimi, I thought you said that he was coming," said Yolei.
"He said he would be here. I don't understand. Did he get stuck in traffic yet?"
"Its not even five 'o clock. Traffic is really bad around that time," said Palmon.
"Unless his car broke down," replied Hawkmon, "I remember Yolei had to fix the car many times because she had the car almost broken down."
"Hey! It wasn't entirely my fault, you know!" exclaimed Yolei, "Besides I just forget to put water in the radiator."
"Oh, I just hope Matt is doing alright," said Mimi, "I hope he and Tai didn't get into another fight."
"Lets put it this away, Mims. Those boys can take care of themselves. I'm sure Matt has changed ever since those many years ago. C'mon, just cheer up."
"You're right. I just worry for him. I don't like seeing people getting hurt, but your right. He and the other guys can take of themselves."
"Besides, Ken is able to take care of himself just fine. It's a piece of cake. Him and Davis should take care of those goons over in the digital world. Besides, we got a pretty awesome team on our side."
"Uh huh."
"What I'm curious about is this 'Shibumi' person. How does he know so damn much about digimon, and more specifically ours? I can't wait to get to the bottom of this. If only Izzy got here as scheduled!"
"If we wait here any longer, we'll go back and give Izzy a call. Does that sound good?"
"Fine, but I'm just glad that I had something to eat before I came here, or else I would have been steaming out of my mind! Uh! This makes me so frustrated!"
Just then, Sora and Joe came walking through the lobby. Palmon picked up the scent of Gomamon and Biyomon. She sits up and points out towards her comrades.
"Sora and Joe are here!" Palmon exclaimed.
"Joe! Sora! Over here!" Mimi cried out. "We've been waiting for you!"
"Sorry. We had a little rush hour," said Joe.
"The name of a pretty funny movie, Joe," Gomamon remarked. "Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker made a funny duo. Maybe, we can be the next Chan and Tucker. I'll be Tucker and you be Chan."
"Yeah, but I'd get my butt kicked. Looks like you'll have to do all the butt kicking."
"Figures."
"So, how long were you waiting out here for?" Sora asked.
"Let's just say when we got here, the cafeteria were finished serving breakfast," Yolei remarked. "I did not get anything to grub on."
"We were that late? We didn't realize traffic was going to hold us back for that long," Joe stated.
"We're just glad you guys were able to come on short notice," Mimi stated. "I say we go get something to eat in the cafeteria and wait for Izzy to call us up."
"So, any idea of what he plans on telling us?" Biyomon asked.
"Probably another lecture on how he wants to surpass Bill Gates," Gomamon muttered.
"Actually, it has something to do with our digimon and their connections to this 'Shibumi' character," Yolei replied.
"Shibumi? Now where have I heard that name before?" Joe pondered.
"Maybe you heard him from another one of those science fiction movies," Gomamon said. "All those mad scientists have the corniest names!"
"I'm not sure this is something we can joke about," Mimi said. "Izzy sounded pretty sure of himself."
"Enough talk! I say we grab some grub! I haven't eaten anything all day," Yolei exclaimed. "The cafeteria is calling my name!"
"I didn't even hear it calling for her," Hawkmon stated.
"Humans can be so weird when they're hungry," Palmon giggled.
"I wonder how everyone else is doing their part in the digital world," Sora thought. "Tai…"
***************************************************************************************
Digital World. Battlegrounds of the Southern Sovereign
Gallantmon and Beelzebumon were still clashing it out as they each traded fists and blows to one another. Loud hits were heard and flashes of light were appearing all around the skies from the above. The Tamers were unable to keep up with their new speed. It was quite unimaginable but real. The digimon were able to keep up by moving their eyes around.
"Their speed is amazing!"Leomon said to himself.
Henry takes out his D-Ark and takes a scan reading on Gallantmon. With luck, a hologram of the mega pops up with important statistics.
[Gallantmon. Mega-Level. Exhaulted Knight Digimon. Special Techniques: Lightning Joust & Shield of the Just]
"I thought I would never have seen this. They're moving a lot faster than Omega X and Burizalor were many years ago. And that fight was no flash in the pan, either,"Patamon thought.
"Where did they get this combination of speed and power from?"Antiramon said in thought.
"Geez! Would you guys go any faster?! You're giving me a headache!"Terriermon remarked.
"Darkness Claw!"
"Lightning Joust!"
The two attacks connected with each other and exploded into each other's faces. A large flash of light was seen as somebody was falling down onto the ground. As soon as the body fell, the ground shook and a large crater was formed in the ground. Lying within the crater was none other than Beelzebumon himself, who looked just about out.
"Whoa! Its Beelzebumon that bit the dust!" exclaimed Guardromon.
"You don't say?! Way to go, chumley! You got him where you want him!" shouted Kazu.
"Way, Takato and Guilmon are one combination!" said Kenta, "Beelzebumon didn't even know where it hit him."
"So, who do you think is going to win?" Jeri asked.
"Gallantmon by a long shot. Beelzebumon must be out from that big ass hot," replied Kazu.
But as soon as he said that, the biker demon came standing onto his two feet. But he was barely able to stand. Beelzebumon pulls out his one gun, since he had lost the other one.
"No way! He's up! Even after that blast shot," said Henry.
"Just what the heck is this guy on?! I don't ever recall this being normal," said Terriermon.
"A blast like that would killed somebody like the Devas in one shot, but it didn't even affect Mr. Grumpy that much," said Patamon, "Beelzebumon is pretty resilient."
"I'll say. But I don't think Gallantmon has run out of power just yet," TK said.
Beelzebumon began firing away multiple shots over towards Gallantmon with his gun, but each of the bullets bounced right off of the knight's chest.
"You can't hurt us anymore."
The biker continued firing away shots at Gallantmon but they didn't even seem to affect him in any kind of fashion. In fact, he was pretty much taking in the shots to further motivate him more."
"You just never learn."
Beelzebumon went to fire more shots but he heard a loud, clicking noise and noticed that all of his ammo was gone. He looked down and gasped over what had happened.
"Beelzebumon. Your judgment has come at hand. Now you will pay for the ultimate price."
Gallantmon quickly forms his shield and holds it out in front of him. Then each symbol on the shield started to emit a bright flash of light. One by one, each symbol was glowing and forming into one single energy beam. The ground around Gallantmon shook as he sends out a powerful, wave of energy while calling out its attack.
"Shield of the Just!"
The large energy beam goes shooting right over towards Beelzebumon, who could only look on in shock. The beam goes shooting right into him as he went flying back. The biker goes screaming out in tremendous shock at what was happening. It looked as if his eyes were about to bulge open and his body about to disintegrate, since he was unable to maneuver away from the enormous blast.
"No! This can't be happening!"
An explosion occurs when the beam goes hitting a nearby rock wall. This quickly caused the wall to crumble down into bits of debris and dust. The group looked on as were in awe over what just happened. Even TK and Patamonw ere taken by shock over what Gallantmon just did. It was like no other, since this was Takato and Guilmon.
"Incredible power! He took Beelzebumon out of the equation," exclaimed TK.
"Yeah! Way to go, Takato! That's the way to get a victory! Score one for the good guys," said Kazu.
"No… He isn't dead. Beelzebumon isn't dead," Patamon said.
"What?! But that attack did him in! There's no way he could have survived!" exclaimed Henry.
"Well he did just that. However, he was brutally beaten but was still able to barely survive," said Patamon, "Don't believe me? Look over and find out."
The group all looked over to see the dust cloud clearing away. Patamon was exactly right. Beelzebumon was down on his knees with bruises and cuts all over his body.
"No. I can't be beaten. I wasn't supposed to lose… The Sovereign guaranteed me an almost immortal power! Well, looks like I got suckered in. I don't deserve to live anymore… I've lost…"
Just as soon as he was finished talking to himself in thought, Beelzebumon felt a sharp and cold steel object sliding over his shoulder. He barely opened his eyes and looked over to see Gallantmon standing over him with his joust on the biker's left shoulder. Beelzebumon lowers his head in shame as if he were already admitting defeat.
"This is where it ends."
"How could I have lost? I was supposed to be invincible! Well, what are you waiting for?! Do it! Do it!"
Jeri was quickly appalled by this and wasn't going to see anybody die before her eyes. She had witnessed death before in her life and wasn't going to allow that to happen.
"Takato? What are doing? Don't! I can't stand seeing anybody die. I've seen my mother die before my eyes but I can't bear to see another, even if it is Beelzebumon. He was just a little bully named Impmon, but even he doesn't deserve death."
"Come on! What are you waiting for?! Do it! I'm not going to sit here all day. Just get this over with, load my data and move on. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
"No. I want you to be punished for almost killing two best friends of ours. You were wrong in doing so. They didn't deserve to be put to near death. If you had killed them, we would show you no mercy as we speak… Beelzebumon, how do you plead for your actions?"
"Shut up and kill me. Do it! I don't deserve to live!"
"So be it, Beelzebumon! You leave me no choice!"
Gallantmon picks up his joust and raises it over his head. Then he looks down at the kneeling demon and goes to thrust his long, sharp weapon through the dark heart of Beelzebumon.
"Goodbye, Beelzebumon!"
"No stop!"
Just as soon as Jeri called out, Gallantmon stopped at his tracks and barely made his attempt as his joust went under Beelzebumon's left arm. Beelzebumon was even more shocked over what had just happened. He was still alive and quite lucky to be so.
Gallantmon looks right over towards Jeri with a shocked expression on his face. He then looks over towards Beelzebumon with an angry look on his face.
"Jeri, why?"
"I understand that you wanted to avenge Rika, but you don't have to go kill off Beelzebumon. I don't believe in death, since I've been through enough. I've seen one person die before my own eyes. Besides, don't we all have a right to change our ways and I have a good feeling that Beelzebumon here change his ways. Don't you think so, Takato?"
"Jeri… I… You could be right…"
"But, why did you go and save me for?" asked Beelzebumon, "I almost tried to kill one of your friends and attempted to load each of your pet's data. I was defeated. It's time for me to wallow in my self-pity down in hell."
"Yes, but your not always bad. After all, you were the little bully that used to always want to pick on us. You were Impmon."
"Yeah, but he's long gone. This is the new me. Impmon is an image of the past."
"No, you're still the Impmon we know. After all, we shouldn't be fighting you. It's the D-Reaper that we're after the most. Plus, we're out to find Calumon."
Gallantmon looks over towards Beelzebumon. The biker stood up and faced the knight with crimson- blood shot eyes. Beelzebumon quickly turned away and looks back into his past, over the events that occurred before his showdown with Gallantmon.
"Do I really deserve this power? Do I really deserve to even consider myself a threat to any digimon alive? I mean look at me! I was a weakling when I was Impmon. I craved for power and I couldn't get any when I was with my two Tamers."
He looks back towards the time that he was first met his Tamers, which were two little kids. He was not very happy over the fact that he was used as a sort of 'pet' to them.
"I once had to rely on those two to help me digivolve. But that didn't happen. Those two spoiled brats didn't care for anything as far as my evolution goes! It was always them bragging over who should 'play with Impmon first or who should use Impmon first'! Blah! All those damn garbage! I was glad to leave them behind! Because like all other digimon, it's all about the survival of the fittest, which is why I almost tried to upload Calumon's data."
Flashback
Impmon was facing off Calumon, at the time that he attempted to upload the little digimon's data. Plus Impmon was convincing that Calumon wouldn't fight back and considered him not being a real 'digimon'.
"Life is all about survival of the fittest when the best and the brightest, that's me, wipes the floor with the meek and the weak, that would be you. So once I blast you into kingdom come and absorb your data like I'm planning to do now. Don't take it personally, its just nature taking its course."
Impmon looks down at Calumon with a huge grin on his face, which caused the little white digimon to shake under his feet nervously.
"I was right! Those humans cared nothing more than themselves! I wasn't going to take it! So I let them all have it! They had it coming to them!"
"Ha! Ha! You can't do anything to me, you pathetic humans! I own you! I own you! You don't own me! Hey! What's this, a girl with an ice cream cone?"
Impmon jumps down and lands right in front of a little girl, who was eating her ice cream. She looks over at Impmon with a look of bewilderment.
"I'll take that! Thank you."
Impmon snatches the ice cream cone out of her hands and with one gulp, swallows the ice cream cone. The little girl began to cry as the father looks down at Impmon angrily.
"Hey! I paid for that bubble gum raspberry nut crunch!"
"Huh? How about a Ba-Da Boom upside the head crunch?!"
Impmon shoots out a fireball over at the man's shoulder, which caused him to start to panic and run off with his daughter. Then the whole crowd started to panic and run away in fear of what Impmon was going to do next.
"And I've got one for everybody! Ha! Ha!"
The little virus starts shooting out fireballs towards the crowd, as they continued to panic in fear. Impmon started to laugh maniacally and making sure everybody got his message.
"I certainly showed them! Nobody was going to mess with me! Nobody! Not even another digimon! I wasn't going to back down! But once Indramon whooped my ass, I soon was beginning to think that it was the end of it all for me. But then opportunity came… I was now being given to chance to digivolve!"
"Alright! I'll sell my soul and do whatever the hell your Sovereign wants!"
"Then relinquish your soul!"
With that said, Chatsuramon shoots down a beam and a hole was starting to form at Impmon's feet. The rookie cried out as he fell into a deep pit and splashed through what seemed to be hot lava. Suddenly, a silhouette of the Digimon Sovereign was shown. Now he was ready to perform his magic and grant Impmon his long-awaited digivolution power.
"Now it was my time to shine! Beelzebumon was born! The Sovereign gave me an opportunity and it was something that I couldn't refuse! My destiny has come!"
"Alright! You guys better wake up! Cause I've got a little deal for you. You either surrender yourselves to me or I'll blast you away into smithereens! What's it going to be?! Huh?!"
They replied to his question as they all started flying towards him. But Beelzebumon reacted by pulling on the triggers on his guns.
"Fine! Try my Double Impact!"
Just as soon as he pulled the triggers, several slow-moving bullets came flying out from the guns and towards the swarms that were surrounding him. One swarm was quickly deleted just before the bullets could even reach them, as if they were already hit. Beelzebumon spins around to the other side and shoots out another swarm with his 'Double Impact' and watched as they all exploded into data.
"Ha! This is too easy!"
The giant insect shot out several impact shots over at Beelzebumon. But just as they connected, a huge dust cloud formed and Beelzebumon comes jumping out with his claws extracted. He easily manages to claw his way right through him. Infermon quickly exploded into massive data and Beelzebumon happily takes in the data as if it were a gift being given to him. He starts laughing maniacally as a result.
"Yes! Come to poppa! Soon, I will absorb all digimon that come in my way and nothing will stop me from becoming the most powerful being! Nothing! Ha! Ha!"
"But I soon realized my mistake, that I would soon regret… The power was still now enough to save me…"
Rika goes charging right over towards Beelzebumon in order to save Kyuubimon from further annihilation. As soon as Rika went over to her digimon's side, Beelzebumon picks up Rika by her neck and lifts her up. Takato could only look on with sheer horror on his face.
"What do you think you're going, miss all and mighty? Not so tough when your digimon pet is down, huh? Well don't worry, sweets. Where ever she's going, you're going to follow along with her."
"Let her go, Beelzebumon! You're fighting dirty!"
"Me, play dirty? Ha. I'm just getting warmed up, punk ass. Seeing that you like this girl too much, you can join her down in the depths of hell."
"Don't do it!"
"You know your right. I shouldn't be picking on a human. It's just not my style. But what I'll do is kill fox face here and load her data! How does that sound?"
"No you won't!" Kyuubimon cries out as she goes jumping right for Beelzebumon.
The biker quickly elbows the approaching digimon and sends her flying back. He then looks right over at Rika and noticed a look of fear across her face.
"As far as you go sweets, I'm done with you."
With that said, Beelzebumon drops Rika and watches as she falls. Takato goes running up to try to catch her in time, but then Beelzebumon thrusts out his hand and smacks Rika away with tremendous force. Takato looks on with shock as Rika goes falling down onto the ground with a thud. Beelzebumon could only laugh like a maniac over what he had accomplished.
"Rika… Rika…"
"Aw, are we loss for words, boy? She isn't dead, but is near death after what I did to her. Shall I deliver the final touches to your 'dream girl'?"
That finally set the spark off for Takato as a fueling rage was burning up within him and his eyes looked up to face Beelzebumon. The biker took notice of this and had a questionable look on his face.
"This is where I made the fatal mistake, by underestimating the boy's abilities. He and pineapple head were able to merge, or fuse as they like to call it, into Gallantmon…"
Gallantmon and Beelzebumon were facing each other off as their kis also forced against each other. Gallantmon gives the biker demon a death stare and this greatly agitated Beelzebumon.
"Hey, what the hell is going on here?!"
"Now that everyone has left," Gallantmon spoke, with the combined voices of both Takato and Guilmon.
"Beelzebumon, friendship was given to you but yet you rejected it and tried to take away a valuable soul. How do you condone to the actions that you have committed? I can never forgive you for attempting to killing off a very important soul."
"Forgiveness?!"
"Yes. You will go back to hell because you deserve to die for your actions. The one named Rika never done anything to you and now you must pay. We can never allow to you kill other such as Henry, Jeri, Kazu and Kenta. You shall die here by our hands."
"If you want me to die, then you should kill me yourself!"
"So be it, Beelzebumon!"
"And I paid for it… It's a heavy price to pay… I shamefully went down in defeat…"
"Shield of the Just!"
The large energy beam goes shooting right over towards Beelzebumon, who could only look on in shock. The beam goes shooting right into him as he went flying back. The biker goes screaming out in tremendous shock at what was happening. It looked as if his eyes were about to bulge open and his body about to disintegrate, since he was unable to maneuver away from the blast.
"No! This can't be happening!"
An explosion occurs when the beam goes hitting a nearby rock wall. This quickly caused the wall to crumble down into bits of debris and dust.
"This is where it ends."
"How could I have lost? I was supposed to be invincible! Well, what are you waiting for?! Do it! Do it!"
"So be it, Beelzebumon! You leave me no choice!"
Gallantmon picks up his joust and raises it over his head. Then he looks down at the kneeling demon and goes to thrust his long, sharp weapon through the dark heart of Beelzebumon.
"Goodbye, Beelzebumon!"
"No stop!"
"And thats where it all stops… Maybe I'm not good as I think I am…"
End of Flashback
"Maybe, I'm not as good as I think I am," Beelzebumon muttered.
With that said, the group watched as Beelzebumon was walking away.
"Where are going, Beelzebumon?" Gallantmon asked.
"Away so I can wallow in self pity. A place where I can just crawl in and die…"
"I hope he realizes his mistakes," Jeri said, "He just didn't know who he really was. He's confused."
Just then, Gallantmon quickly de-evolves back to Takato and Guilmon as the group all went over to them.
"Takato! That was some awesome stuff you two did out there," said Kazu, "I wish Guardromon and I could do that."
"Maybe it will happen one day, Kazu," said Guardromon.
"Well, I got to hand it to you two, you made a really good team, but how did you fuse? I thought the Digi-Destined were the only ones to do so."
"I was angry and felt power surging through my veins. Guilmon was feeling my power and since we both had one common goal, we merged our minds and our body into one being. It was weird having voices running through my head, but it was fun."
"Sure was, Takato! But um, looks like we're separated from Rika and the others."
"That's right! The others went down to stop Dark Magimon from releasing D-Reaper! We've got to go back and help them! Plus, you would never guess this, but Omega X and Metalla X were going at it! I was there to see the fight for a moment."
"Well, we're out to find Calumon. I'm sure Shintomon and the others can handle the situation. We must focus on finding Calumon. And I have a good feeling that we can get some answers from the Sovereign himself," said Buddamon, "Do not worry. We should be fine as long as I'm around."
"Over at that castle there? That's Zhuqiaomon's castle?" asked Henry.
"Yes and we must hurry. There's no time to waste."
Suddenly, a red beam shoots out from the channels of the castle and engulfs Antiramon as she cries out in tremendous pain.
"Oh no! Antiramon! What's happening to you?!" Suzie cried.
Just as Suzie was going to save Antiramon, Henry held her back and prevented his sister to be shot back from the force of the beam. As soon as the beam died down, Lopmon now stood in Antiramon's place.
"What happened to you?" asked Suzie, "Are you Antiramon?"
"Huh?! Oh no! The Sovereign took away my power!"
Henry pulls out his D-Ark and was a hologram image of Lopmon appears with statistics on her.
[Lopmon. Rookie. Data Beast Type. Special Technique: Blazing Ice]
Lopmon looks right over towards Terriermon and their ears both flopped up at the very same time. Then they both fell back while the others looked on laughing.
"Hey! You look like a chocolate-flavored me!" said Terriermon.
"Your vanilla-flavored!" remarked Lopmon.
"So, Henwy, how do you like me being a Tamer?"
Henry replied by sighing and smacking himself across the forehead.
"I still can't believe that this is happening. She isn't even supposed to be here; yet, Buddamon stated that she serves a big purpose here. I guess we'll know when that time comes…"

Dark Magimon's ship. Bottom level
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
The skies were now beginning to become more like daylight while the darkness within the skies was fading away. This would really not make a difference since the fate of the two digital worlds was now endangered as far as the Destined and the Tamers are concerned.
Just then, steams rushes out of the pulsating sphere that contained the D-Reaper from within. The storm that surrounded the area had now vanished without a trace while Dark Magimon looks on laughing maniacally. The dial of Magimon's energy meter points all the way straight up at the "D" at its final percentage. King Devimon, too, looks on laughing. The sphere continues to grow in size, while blowing out steam.
Celesta X, Rika and Renamon stare out over at the sphere in horror, unable to make their move. Parts of the sphere now began to glow a pink color. Wind was now starting to pick up around the sphere as dust was blown up around the statues of both Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon.
The steam all manages to collect from above and around the sphere while it was still pulsating. The meter displays that the D-Reaper was indeed at its full power. Dark Magimon breaks up the silent treatment amongst everyone standing and speaks up while looking on in awe.
"King Devimon. The time has come. D-Reaper is about to come out!"
"Yes."
"At last! The seal has broken! Finally, I get to see D-Reaper come out! How powerful are you, my father's creations?!"
Dark Magimon looks on at the ball while holding his face in anticipation. King Devimon looks on with a smirk.
"I'm anticipating as well, Dark Magimon."
"I've waited for this day to come! Come out fast!"
The sorcerer began laughing hysterically while the sphere was still glowing and pulsating.
Shintomon could not bear to stand it anywhere and cries out in complete terror. The other three glare over towards it angrily.
"My brother's damage energy caused this,"Kari said in thought. The energy he's gotten has already surpassed the normal digital fusion… I can't believe D-Reaper is already being reborn."
Shintomon backs away and looks over towards the other three.
"Its no good, you three! We have to get away from here now!"
"What?! Leave now?" Rika asked.
Shintomon doesn't respond as he was still having his eyes locked onto the sphere of the D-Reaper. He never felt so scared out of his mind as ever before.
"Lets run for it, Rika and Hikari!"
"What are you talking about," Celesta X asked.
"She's right! We can't leave things like this," said Renamon.
"The damn D-Reaper is going to be reborn and you want us to retreat," Rika said with an angry tone in her voice.
Shintomon turns away and then says, "We can't beat the D-Reaper ourselves! Even you, Hikari, aren't strong enough to beat it! No one can beat it! If we stay here, we'll more likely get killed!"
Celesta X straightens out, looking right down at Shintomon in fear.
"But, Shintomon… We can't leave…"
"Hurry, you three! Lets run!"
"Shintomon!"
"Hikari! Now!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Celesta X turns back towards the sphere and speaks up from the major activity that was occurring all around her.
"But I'm already at full power," Celesta X said, "The least I can do is…"
She quickly spreads her legs, clenches her fists, with a look of hopelessness but sheer determination on her face. She holds her fists up, throws her head back and screams out as her ki level began to increase like never before.
"What the hell are you doing, Hikari?!"
Celesta X doesn't reply to his question as she continued to concentrate on summoning her hidden power. Her aura was now much further out, as if it were spinning all around her while throwing up tons of dust into the air. It then becomes that of a normal aura.
Dark Magimon looks back over his shoulder in shock.
"What does he think he's doing?!"
"Bah. What a foolish attempt," said King Devimon.
Celesta X cups her hands and pulls them back to her left side.
"What I can do is this!"
Rika and Renamon look on in shock while looking over at Celesta X summoning her hidden power. Renamon examined the fusion warrior in awe.
"Incredible! She was basically hiding her power all along! When she fought King Devimon, she was merely using almost half of her power. She could have killed King Devimon. She beat Virus, but how can she be sure that she could beat the D-Reaper,"Renamon said in thought.
Suddenly, light flickers in the palm of Celesta X's hands. Now a golden ki blast was about to come out. She charges it up for a few seconds more.
"What?! She's insane!" exclaimed Dark Magimon.
Finally, with a determined scream, Celesta X shoots the ki blast out. King Devimon shuts his eyes in order to avoid being blinded by the light and quickly grabs Dark Magimon, leaping out of the blast's direction. The ki blast hits and Celesta X continues to press more power into it. After a few moments, it explodes and tons of dust was being released into the air as a result. Celesta X stares out from behind her hands, still in position. The ball wobbles on its stand, but nothing happens.
Dark Magimon gasps, while Shintomon looks on in shock. Celesta X was now angrier than ever. Rika and Renamon sigh in complete disbelief. Celesta X glares at the ball and it resumes spitting steam into the air. Celesta X pulls back and tries her attack once again.
"Hikari! Don't!" exclaimed Shintomon.
"What does she think she's doing? It's not going to make a difference. No matter how much she tries to destroy it," Rika said, "She's wasting her energy."
"Well, I don't blame her. She's preventing the seal to be opened and will do what it takes to stop the D-Reaper before it comes out of the sphere. I would go out and help her rather than just sit around. I must help her, Rika!"
"Alright! Time for some Matrix evolution!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Rika quickly pulls out a blue card and then slashes it right through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Matrix Evolution!"
Matrix Evolution
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Renamon shinka! Kyuubimon! Kyuubimon matrix shinka! Taomon!"
Taomon goes rushing over to Celesta X's side as they both looked over to each other. Celesta X turns over towards Rika.
"Thanks, Rika. I was wondering if you two were going to take action. So, you think the combined powers of both myself and Taomon is more than enough?"
"We won't know until we try," replied Rika.
"They're are bigger fools than I thought. They are underestimating the D-Reaper's tenacity,"Shintomon said to himself.
**************************************************************************************
Southern Gates of Zhuqiaomon
Buddamon and his group decided to go over towards the gateways to rest for a few moments before heading out towards the lair of the southern sovereign, Zhuqiaomon. Takato was telling the whole gang about his bio-mergence with Guilmon.
"And that's the whole story. It was awesome. I can't believe I was able to merge with Guilmon. Now I'm ranked up with the other fusion warriors," said Takato, "Isn't that cool or what?"
"So, you were able to merge? Unbelievable. Here I though that the Digi-Destined were only able to perform that technique."
"That just comes to show about our friendship," the goggle boy said, "But it was such a waste. My digivice was destroyed. I doubt I will ever merge with Guilmon again."
Just then, an object appeared right above Takato's head and the object comes dropping into Takato's hand. He takes a close examination of it and realized that it was a digivice.
"Oh my gosh… I just got my digivice back! Did I just like wish for it to come back or something? I don't get it…"
"Wow, look at it, its gold," Guilmon said.
"Huh?"
Takato had quickly noticed that the digivice had gold outlines on the side of it, instead of its previous red color.
"Wow, that's pretty cool. I wonder if I am still able to make you digivolve, Guilmon. Besides, we'll never know if we're going to need it if we plan on going into the Sovereign's castle."
"So, why are we exactly going in there for?" asked Henry, "I mean, we are still looking for Calumon after all."
"Yes, but we need to be certain. Even Zhuqiaomon himself wants the power of digivolution in his grasp and will harness it to enable himself to band together a great army to finish us off."
"Man, this 'Zhuster' sounds like a real jerk if you ask me," said Terriermon.
"My master doesn't tolerate humans to walk into his sacred lair. He considers it very disrespectful. You must not underestimate his power. He can even destroy some of the most powerful digimon within the blink of an eye. That includes some of the fusion warriors that you speak of," Lopmon said.
"Don't worry. Henwy won't let anything happen to us. Right, Henwy?" Suzie asked.
Henry looks out towards the castle of Zhuqiaomon and examines it to find the location of the entranceway. TK goes walking up towards him.
"What are you looking for?"
"Seeing if there's an entranceway. But all I see is a bridge, and we're not sure if it's safe to cross. We're going to need to be extra careful."
"No. It's okay. I can lead the lead. Afte rall, I was the guardian of this gate," said Lopmon as she walks towards the entranceway.
The chocolate-brown bunny pointed out to the entranceway. There was a long bridge that leads directly towards the castle of Zhuqiaomon.
"Well. It doesn't look that bad. I'm sure we can cross that," said Sonja, "Just one question, does he know about our presence?"
"Of course. He can sense anything that occurs throughout the whole digital world. Nobody has ever dared to challenge his power. All those that have were all vanquished within the blink of an eye."
"Not even Dark Magimon?" asked Kazu.
"Dark Magimon uses magic that enables even the strongest of megas to be placed under his control. Both Zhuqiaomon and Magimon were able to agree on terms to not interfere with each other."
"Ack! That means that they're working together!" exclaimed Kenta.
"No. Magimon will eventually stab my master in the back, much like Dark Magimon's father did many years ago. Black Magimon was almost able to place nearly all of the four sovereigns under his evil control, but Shintomon was able to stop him in time."
"But isn't Zhuqiaomon helping Magimon to revive the D-Reaper?" asked Jeri.
"No. He will eventually use the D-Reaper to defeat the four sovereigns and destroy the Digital World. Its only a matter of time."
"Yes. That is why we must find Calumon and regroup with the others to stop Dark Magimon from reviving the D-Reaper," Buddamon said, "Lets go. There's no time to waste."
"Well you guys heard the panda man, lets get a move on!" Terriermon remarked.
They all looked over to Terriermon as if giving him death glares, but this quickly took Terriermon back as he stepped away with a nervous smile on his face.
"Man, I never get to have any fun. They really need to momentai."
***************************************************************************************
Near the location of the land of the Southern Sovereign
The little digimon named Calumon had found himself in an underground cavern. He was crawling and crouching through a long, deep hole.
"Hello?! Anybody in here?!"
Calumon did not receive a reply but other than his echoing voice. He sighs sadly and continues crawling through the steep tunnel.
"I'm so lost. I don't even know where I am anymore. I'm so hungry and tired. I just hope Takato and Guilmon are around. I miss those guys so much."
Just then, there was a bright light coming out of a small crevice. Calumon noticed it and a smile comes across his face. He sits up and manages to run over towards it.
"Yay! I see light! Now I can get out of this yucky tunnel!"
Calumon goes over and starts digging his way through the tunnel, in hopes of getting out of the underground cavern and finally seeing the light.
"Almost there! I see more light! I hate being in the dark for so long."
As soon as he pokes his head through the hole, he manages to push himself out from the inside of the cavern and finds himself plopping down onto the ground. He sits up and looks around his surroundings. The skies were basically crimson and the landscape was pretty much barren. It was pretty much a resemblance to that of hell itself. But unlike hell, there was no fire surrounding the area.
"Hmmm, this place is too quiet. But at least, I'm on land. Hey, I wonder who built that castle! Well, I won't know until I go check it out."
With that said, Calumon goes flying up as he heads over towards the castle of the mighty southern sovereign himself, Zhuqiaomon.
Just within the castle, there was a large fiery presence as an evil laughter was heard from the background. Two red, glowing eyes come flaring through the flames.
"So that traitor is leading those disgusting humans over in my lair! Well, I better let them in! But I'm not going to be showing them any mercy! I'm looking forward to roasting them myself. Then I shall punish those digimon pets for disrespecting the ground I walk on! Beware humans; you just sealed your own fate by walking into my premises! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Ground level.
["The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
The strong winds began to blow right out of the sphere itself and steam continues shooting out into the air as Celesta X and Taomon pump more energy into their combined blasts. The ball began to grow in tremendous size. Shintomon watches in complete fear at what could happen next. Meanwhile, Dark Magimon and King Devimon simply stand off to the side, with their arms to shield themselves from the strong, heavy winds.
"Damn them! Should I silence them for you, Dark Magimon?!"
Dark Magimon simply tugs right on King Devimon's wing and this catches the demon's attention. Now there was a smile across the evil sorcerer's face.
"Don't worry. This won't effect D-Reaper in the least."
Celesta X and Taomon both continued their struggle and suddenly, there was a lot of dust flying up.
"You fools! You're just wasting your efforts!" exclaimed Dark Magimon.
The two digimon scream out as they stepped up their attacks. Now they were using a barrage of many small blasts instead of one large blast. Suddenly, a large explosion throws up a lot of dust all around the sphere and it emerges, causing it to fly up into the air.
Dark Magimon, King Devimon and Shintomon all gasp at what just happened. Rika also looked on in shock at what the two digimon had just accomplished. Even Taomon and Celesta X were just as surprised. As soon as the dust dissipates, the sphere falls back down onto the ground.
"We did it," Celesta X cried out, "Alright, that was a lot of work. But we did it!"
"I don't sense any energy from it, so it looks like we're done," replied Taomon.
"Not just yet," said Celesta X, "Lets give it one more shot just in case."
The two digimon quickly powered up and throws two separate ki blasts over towards the sphere, while still in the air. The sphere is then driven back by the two-blast attack and began to glow a bright, pink color. The combined ki-attack ended and the anonymous sphere drops to the ground with a crash, sending up tons of dust into the air. They stared over at it in amazement that it was able to take their attacks without taking any kind of damage on its outer core.
The sphere begins to roll, but the two digimon simply watches and remains motionless. It stops again just for a few moments and red slime began dripping out all the way around it. Then a huge puff of purple smoke starts coming out at the same time, while forming into a dust cloud. The purple gas makes up a cloud while the red slime starts flowing down onto the ground. As soon as that happened, the sphere began to split into two and each half falls to the side.
Shintomon looks on from a far distance but was in total fear. However, Dark Magimon was happily gleefully as ever while dancing around.
"It's coming out! It's D-Reaper! Oh, I'm so excited!" exclaimed Dark Magimon.
"Yes, Magimon," replied King Devimon.
The halves of the sphere had already collapsed onto the ground and inside were nothing more than a large pool of red ooze. It was sort of like a Jello-like substance but with a more ooze-like appearance. It was something that could be best described from the Ghostbusters movie. King Devimon and Dark Magimon stare off into shock.
"What? I see nothing but a red mass," replied a speechless King Devimon.
Shintomon gasps in shock, while the digimon were just as stunned. Rika quirked an eyebrow and tapped her foot.
"So, that's the D-Reaper? Ugh, what a waste of time…"
A small wisp of purple gas starts floating up into the air from the blob mass itself. Dark Magimon was now starting to cry as he fell to his knees.
"What? You're wrong. Impossible… That can't be. Why? Why? This can't be happening!"
An updraft of wind starts blowing by the sphere and the last wisp of gas started to dissipate. The last portions flew right up into the skies above.
"Come out! I told you to come out, D-Reaper! Come to me!"
Shintomon's shocked expression turns into that of a smile as he starts to laugh hysterically. Rika and the others take notice of this.
"That was sure damn lucky!" the Supreme guardian said.
Dark Magimon simply looks on with a shocked look on his face, while Shintomon points over towards his long-time adversary.
"Its too bad, Magimon! D-Reaper was destroyed by their attacks! It spent too much time asleep and nothing is left of the D-Reaper but a blob of Jello!"
As soon as Shintomon spoke, both Celesta X's and Taomon's faces were telling each other that they weren't so sure to agree with Shintomon.
"Is D-Reaper really gone?"Rika thought.
"No matter how much energy that you have given it, it wasn't as strong as it used to be!" exclaimed Shintomon, "Now the two Digital Worlds are safe!"
Dark Magimon screams out in anger and frustration over what the Supreme guardian had just said to him. After all of those years of collecting energy, he was anticipating for this very day. But it ended up as nothing more than a plain out joke. He never felt so embarrassed. But, King Devimon managed to smile and spoke up.
"Its fine, Dark Magimon. You don't need D-Reaper. You have me. And although he's not a perfect henchman, you have Metalla X as well."
"But, my father created D-Reaper! There is no plan without the D-Reaper," said a weeping Dark Magimon.
"Magimon, you sound like a dog crying like that! I thought I never see the day of you crying before my feet," Shintomon said.
This further infuriated the evil sorcerer as he looked over towards Shintomon with an angry expression. He then looks to King Devimon.
"King Devimon. Make sure you kill that damned Shintomon."
"Yes, sir."
The demon then looks back over towards Shintomon, Taomon and Celesta X with a huge grin on his face.
"I'll take out Magimon and if you two defeat King Devimon, there will be no trace of Dark Magimon's schemes left."
He looks up towards the two digimon with a smile on his face. But they didn't even return a smile to him as if they knew something was still obviously wrong.
"Hikari, its time for you to get angry, just like Taichi said! Please show us the true strength of your anger."
But Celesta X doesn't even respond to Shintomon. She and Taomon didn't even turn to make acknowledgement towards the Supreme guardian.
"Hikari! Rika! We've now almost achieved peace!"
Celesta X clenches down her fists while looking down onto the ground.
"No, you're wrong, Shintomon…"
"What?"
"Its an incredible ki. And it's still growing! This mu-must be…"
[Anonoymous danger music plays]
She gasps and then looks over towards the blob mass itself. Taomon does the same thing while Rika steps at her digimon's side.
"What are you saying, Kari?! What do you see?" the redhead asked.
"That blob! That's the blob that just came out of the sphere! Plus there's a large cloud hovering from the skies!"
They looked up to see a dark purple cloud hanging in the skies above. Then it started to lower down while hovering above the blob mass from below. The cloud seemed to be rotating in some fashion.
"Hey? What are they looking at, King Devimon?" asked Dark Magimon.
They both looked up to the skies and noticed the purple cloud hovering above the blob mass.
"A cloud? No, some sort of smoke. Its gather together and its starting to absorb some of that blob mass at the same time," replied King Devimon.
"I c-can't believe this!" Shintomon exclaimed.
Taomon, Rika and Celesta X also stare up into the cloud, which was absorbing, some of the blob mass. They were in shock and powerless at the moment. Now the cloud was seemingly starting to rotate in some fashion of manner while absorbing the blob mass.

Keke and X couldn't believe at the powerful dark ki that they were feeling. It was nothing that they had felt before. The D-Reaper's power was being felt even from the farthest regions of the digital universe.
"X! This ki is too strong! The entire digital universe is feeling it's after effects! What the hell could it be?"
"No! Is it as I feared?! There was a creature similar to this one. Yes, I remember. Could it be that the D-Reaper has been released after many eons?! So that creepy little bastard actually revived him! Magimon has succeeded! Tai! Matt! You better stop your fight and stop the D-Reaper!"

Elsewhere within the Digital World
[Ministry "Bad Blood" plays]
The fight between Omega X and Metalla X continued through the desolate landscape. Metalla X screams and locks up arms with Omega X. Both pull back their heads and try to attack with that and end up hitting when attacking at the same time. They pull back and try again. Each time they hit, there's a brief flash of golden light.
Just then, a data stream comes passing by which the two fighters manage to phase away from. Omega X appears out of nowhere and turns to see Metalla X going for a kick. But Omega X was able to block that maneuver out with his forearm. Omega X lunges forward to punch, but Metalla X moves out of the way, landing on his hands. He immediately pushes himself back up, thrusting his legs towards Omega X's face. Omega X barely was able to dodge and knees Metalla X in the gut. This caused the fighter to cry out in pain.
Metalla X flies upside down, just above the ground and springs up. Omega X goes rushing forward to attack and Metalla X pushes himself off of the ground with one hand, sweeping under Omega X and tripping him. Omega X falls over but catches control of himself by springing off of the ground with his arms. Metalla X throws a punch, but Omega X dodges. He jumps away with a backward handspring, then flips over in the air and comes in from above. Metalla X gasps as Omega X smashes him with a forearm smash.
Omega X attempts to kick, but Metalla X grabs his leg with a shout while throwing him down onto the ground. Omega X cries out as he hits and Metalla X smashes his own foot down, but Omega X jumps out of the way and Metalla X simply hits the crater Omega X made when he fell. He spins around to see only Metalla X's foot. He quickly ducks under and all of Metalla X's hits are nothing more than fists in the air. A small chunk of land shatters as Metalla X jumps into the sky and they lie opposite of each other.
"That was pretty damn good, Matt."
"I'm going to show you the true power of my strength."
They both leap into the air and collide with one another as Metalla X shouts. They started to trade kicks and punches with tons of power being inflicted onto one another. Some don't even make contact with one another. A blast lands right in front of Omega X and throws up a dust cloud. He runs right through it and the blast Metalla X had been preparing to throw from an arm he had pulled back disappears. He backs away and then leaps backward into the air. Metalla X creates another energy blast again and throws it. Omega X doesn't make an attempt to dodge it and instead lets it start coming right over towards him.
It explodes with a small shockwave and a large cloud of dust. Metalla X stares right over towards the new crater that he had created while a grin crosses his face. He then began to laugh. At the bottom, Omega X chuckles as well with dust drifting right by him.

The dark purple cloud slowly starts to shrink and absorbs more of the blob mass along with it. Now the cloud was starting to glow a crimson-blood color.
"Its an incredible ki!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"I have a bad feeling about this," replied Taomon.
"You're having a bad feeling, huh? Don't you think we should like think of a way to get the hell out of here to think of a new strategy?" asked Rika.
Shintomon simply stares at it in complete shock on his face. The cloud then begins to morph into a red, blob mass and goes spilling onto the ground. Dark Magimon watches with widened eyes.
"Hey that," the sorcerer pointed out to the blob mass that dropped to the ground.
"Could that be it?" asked King Devimon.
Suddenly, the mass started to transform into that of a tall, child-like figure. It quickly sprouted arms and legs. They were slowly starting to become well defined.
Celesta X and Taomon cry out in shock with their mouths dropping open and their eyes widening.
[Majin Buu's english background theme plays]
Suddenly, the blob mass finished forming as a little girl's face finished forming as the D-Reaper takes shape. It makes a face and a smile forms across her face.
Everyone stares over in complete shock at the form of the D-Reaper. Dark Magimon and King Devimon look on with surprise, while the others look on with fear. The D-Reaper sits right up and looks across its surroundings. The D-Reaper looks like an eight-year old girl but stood about six feet tall plus seven inches. It has red skin, long pink hair, and purple colored eyes with red tints in them. It has two ponytails on the right side of its head. It had yellow gloves, a pair of tennis shoes and a Japanese school uniform on.
The D-Reaper looks around with a smile on her face. Her smile widens and a small giggle was heard from under her breath.
King Devimon leans over quietly to Dark Magimon to ask him a question quietly.
"Magimon, is this the D-Reaper?"
"Well, I've never seen it. The only one alive who's actually seen the D-Reaper was Shintomon."
D-Reaper looks around smiling while the red blob mass around her bubbles away. Shintomon simply stares over at her in amazement and fear, while clenching his teeth and his eyes widening. He almost seems to be choking back.
"Um, so is that thing the D-Reaper?" asked Rika.
"Yes, it is. I could never forget that disgusting creature's face," replied Shintomon.
Celesta X and Taomon both stared over towards D-Reaper in complete shock, but in a sort of disappointing way.
"It looks like some sort of school girl," said Celesta X, "This is the terror of the two Digital Worlds?!"
"Yes. That's D-Reaper alright."
"Um, are you sure?" Taomon asked.
"Hey! It looks like that it's the D-Reaper," said Dark Magimon.
"It… I mean her?" asked King Devimon.
D-Reaper now began to stretch herself out and Dark Magimon goes walking up towards her.
"D-Reaper! Come to me!"
"Hey Shintomon, you called this thing a threat? I thought it would be so much bigger," said Celesta X.
"Its too late! We have to get away now!" exclaimed the Supreme guardian.
"You're probably right! Its certainly very strong, but it doesn't look so strong that I wouldn't have a chance," she replied.
Shintomon was completely stunned by Celesta X's revelation.
"Is this true, Celesta?" asked Taomon.
"Yes, if only I can put out my real strength…"
D-Reaper began looking over the landscape and starts tip-toeing a dance of some sorts. She began to hum to herself, but then stops and leans back giggling to herself. D-Reaper walks over and looks over to side to side, still smiling.
Celesta X clenches her fists more tightly while Shintomon takes a little bit more of a fighting pose. Celesta X concentrates, her eyes twitching and breaths heavily. D-Reaper rises back to her full height and Shintomon gasps. D-Reaper grunts, jumps back and somersaults back several yards away on her feet. She then does another and lands right back on her feet as if she were acting like a gymnast.
D-Reaper steps forward again, this time around Dark Magimon and King Devimon. Dark Magimon watches in shock, his mouth hanging open in complete shock. His eyes were widening with pleasure. Finally, the dark sorcerer blinks and steps back.
"D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper stops, leans over for a few moments and gives a frown on her face. She looks over to her right and walks away again. Dark Magimon watches in surprise.
"Huh?! D-Reaper?!"
D-Reaper completely ignores him and walks away humming to herself.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
The fight between Omega X and Metalla X was still waging on in the Digital World. The two fighters stand away on opposite sides with their chests heaving while still in their fighting poses and taking quick breaths. Electricity runs over them throughout their healthy bright auras. Finally, Metalla X was ready to go at it again.
"Damn it! Fight!"
Metalla X goes leaping forward, but then Omega X gasps and holds his hand out right in front of Metalla X.
"Wait, Matt! Wait!"
Metalla X suddenly stops in midair while facing Omega X with a shocked expression.
"A ki… A huge ki has appeared. D-Reaper has been released from its slumber!"
Metalla X looks off in the direction where Celesta X and the others were at and a concerned look came across his face.

X stood by, as his muscles were tense. Keke could hardly imagine at the turn of events that has just occurred.
"The D-Reaper has been unleashed. It is too late… Only Tai and Matt are strong enough to defeat this new menace. However, their chances of winning may have been shot out from a cannon…"
"X. Don't tell me that the entire digital universe is in danger of being wiped out. Isn't there anything we can do to stop it?!"
"Tai and Matt have far exceeded our current status. If we were at our prime, then we would have aided them. Those two have their own digital world to defend. It's up to them. It wouldn't be right for us to go interfering in their duties. I'm sorry it had to come to this… If only we regained our powers, Keke. Then we would help them!"
"It can't be…"

D-Reaper goes flipping up into the air and starts somersaulting. She lands on her feet and hops backward on one foot, almost losing balance. Shintomon watches in fear, gasping to himself.
D-Reaper finally regains her balance and stops. She sighs as she plants her other foot on the ground. D-Reaper stops in a hunched position, and then straightens up with a widened grin on her face. She laughs and claps, but seems the only one present who's amused by anything.
Shintomon, Rika, Taomon and Celesta X stare off with a mixture of anger and fear. King Devimon could only look on with total annoyance. Dark Magimon was speechless.
D-Reaper finally stops clapping and stands with her hands to the sides of her dress. A smile forms across her face.
The D-Reaper has finally been unleashed! But this is childish creature really pose a threat to not just the two Digital Worlds, but also the real world?!

D-Reaper's Rampage Begins! Shintomon is in Despair!
Digital World
[Metallica "Sad But True" plays]
There was a sudden cloud of dust flying over a motionless rocky area. The two fusion warriors land opposite on each side, with dark Metalla X on the right hand corner and Omega X on the left side. The dust clears away as they watch each other. Omega X's right arm hangs limply in front of his body, but his left arm was pulled back as if he were ready to punch. He looks really beaten up and was panting. Electricity flickers from his aura. Metalla X was not in much good shape either. He holds both fists up in a fighting pose while his breathing was labored.
They were staring over at each other for a few moments, just before Metalla X goes lunging forward at his adversary. As soon as Omega X was about to intercept his attack, his eyes go widen all of a sudden and looks off to the left hand side. He throws up a hand.
"Matt! Wait!"
Metalla X promptly stops and gasps. He couldn't understand why Omega X would stop the fight all of a sudden and was curious.
"Its a ki. A huge ki has just appeared."
Metalla X looks off into the same direction as Omega X. The fusion warrior of courage was holding up his fists angrily.
"So its out already! That must be D-Reaper! It's pretty damn obvious now! What a tremendous power!"
Metalla X slowly lands, not looking away from D-Reaper's direction. As soon as both of his feet touch the ground, he grins. Omega X looks over at him and notices Metalla X beginning to laugh. Omega X watches curiously while he continues laughing. Finally he stops and begins to explain his reasoning of laughing.
"I wondered how strong D-Reaper would be, but I thought it would be at about this level. We've gotten too strong, Tai. We've become ultimately strong. Did even once you think that Shintomon, who is supposed to be the ultimate power, was good?"
As he continues, Omega X looks away from behind him back towards D-Reaper's direction.
"It was opposite. He was surprised by our strength," Metalla X rambles on, "So D-Reaper may look like a fearful opposition to Shintomon, but would look like nothing to us."
"N-No! You're wrong! There's something abnormal about his ki!"
"Don't you even try to talk your way through this! I won't allow you to run from this fight!"
"Matt! You should have realized this yourself."
Metalla X glares over at him as more dust started to pick up around their positions.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Ground level.
[Majin Buu's english background theme plays]
D-Reaper was tapping her foot impatiently while Dark Magimon starts to slowly approach her. The evil sorcerer points to himself as if letting D-Reaper know who he really is.
"Hey, D-Reaper! I-I'm Dark Magimon. I'm the son of Black Magimon, who created you. It's been a long time since you were sealed in that sphere."
D-Reaper stops tapping, opens her eyes and looks down at Dark Magimon. The sorcerer smiles and holds up his hands defensively.
"I'm your master from now on."
D-Reaper stares over at him with narrow eyes and Magimon's eyes go widen for a second, then he begins laughing nervously. D-Reaper turns around, crossing her arms and turning her back on the sorcerer.
"Hey! What's wrong?! I'm greeting you, you should greet me back!"
He runs up towards D-Reaper while shaking his fists into the air angrily. D-Reaper looks away and Magimon runs over to the other side, which causes D-Reaper to turn away again.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! I'm your master! Hey, D-Reaper!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper hunches over and starts growling. Dark Magimon takes a few cautious steps to her side.
"Hey! What the hell is wrong with you, D-Reaper?"
But, D-Reaper's growling continues. She bobs her head up, before her growling got even louder. D-Reaper quickly turns around with her hands over her mouth and makes a scary face with her eyes bulging almost out of her sockets and her tongue sticking right out. Dark Magimon gasps and his eyes nearly pop right out of his head. He goes falling backwards while D-Reaper was making more funny faces. She then turns around and giggles to herself.
Dark Magimon quickly makes it up to his feet while King Devimon was stepping up towards his side. He glares right over to the D-Reaper.
"Ha. She's nothing but a fool."
Celesta X, Rika and Taomon were looking on with confusion on their faces.
"What is it doing?" asked Celesta X.
Shintomon was simply glaring over towards D-Reaper with a mix of fear and anger.
Dark Magimon looks angrily up towards D-Reaper, while making it onto his feet again.
"What nerve!"
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
"It is difficult to say why, but its transformation could have been incomplete," said King Devimon, "I had high hopes for this D-Reaper, but this deformed version is nothing more than a waste and an idiot."
D-Reaper looks right over towards the demon, no longer smiling.
"Hm? Aww, what's wrong? Do you have a problem to what I just said?"
D-Reaper turns all the way around and throws her fists into the air, screaming. Then, D-Reaper began hopping around on one foot all around each side. She comes right in front of King Devimon.
"Do you want to fight me then?"
D-Reaper doesn't answer, but simply looks over at her new enemy with a smile.
"You don't know that you'll die," replied King Devimon, "That's why you are a fool."
D-Reaper still doesn't respond, only smiling.
Celesta X looks right over towards Shintomon as if she were going to ask him a question.
"It seems that D-Reaper was a failure, Shintomon?"
"You think so? This is how D-Reaper acts."
D-Reaper began to get angry as steam starts coming out from the sides of her head. King Devimon doesn't take his eye off of D-Reaper and takes notice of her steam.
"Huh?"
D-Reaper releases more steam, as it became more of a teakettle sound. Its smile now widens into a grin as her eyes glare over and she looks sadistically over to King Devimon. Celesta X and Taomon's eyes widen and they gasp at what was now about to happen next.
"Hmph! That was a stupid attempt to scare me!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper pulls back her hand and drives it straight into King Devimon's face. The demon gasps in surprise and was unable to dodge it. D-Reaper's fingers plunge into the demon's eyes and she gouges them out. Dark Magimon cries out in surprise. Celesta X, Rika, Taomon and Shintomon look on with silent horror. King Devimon grabs his face and howls in tremendous pain, his hands covering his now-empty eye sockets. D-Reaper yells excitedly and begins to giggle as she bounces up and down on her right foot. King Devimon staggers forward, still groaning in pain, and goes to swipe at D-Reaper. D-Reaper easily dodges and phases right next to him. D-Reaper goes up from right behind and as soon as King Devimon turned back around, D-Reaper delivers a devastating hard kick to King Devimon. Dark Magimon gasps and barley ducks away from a flying King Devimon. The demon flies overhead and hits the ground, bouncing right through the dust several times before coming to rest at a cliff side. A dust cloud hides behind him while Celesta simply looks on with shock. The same can go for Taomon and Rika. Shintomon's expression still hasn't changed, but his body starts to tremble a little.
Dark Magimon climbs back to his feet with his eyes widened as ever and his mouth hanging open making gasping noises. The dust clears away and the King of the Devimons was laying face down, embedded by tons of rocks. D-Reaper lands back down with on her tiptoes. She applauds 'herself' smiling. Dark Magimon stares over at the fallen demon.
"That was spec-spec-spectacular! You're incredible, D-Reaper! You easily defeated King Devimon!"
D-Reaper simply ignores him, but continues to bounce around on one foot and hums in triumph. Celesta X and Taomon were both looking on stunned.
"D-Reaper's ki suddenly exploded! Its incredible," exclaimed Celesta X, "Its too incredible! I can't believe it!"
Shintomon stands next to them looking on and he looked like as if he were about to regurgitate by the sickening display of the D-Reaper.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Omega X and Metalla X stared on in amazement in the direction of D-Reaper as more dust wind comes by them.
"Its ki energy suddenly went up," said Omega X, "D-Reaper is not what you expected."
Metalla X simply stares off in shock with his eyes twitching. He didn't want to admit it but was no starting to worry about the D-Reaper's presence.
***************************************************************************************
Southern gates of Zhuqiaomon
The group all stopped for a moment as the digimon all turned around to feel the presence of the D-Reaper. Buddamon's eyes widened in shock over what he had just felt.
"What is it guys?" asked Takato.
"Its what we feared! Its the D-Reaper!" exclaimed Buddamon, "The D-Reaper has been released out of its seal and it just made it first attack!"
"Oh no! Rika, Kari and Shintomon are still over there! The D-Reaper will kill them if we don't do something quick!" Takato exclaimed.
"I'm ready whenever you are, Takatomon!"
"No! Wait, D-Reaper had just attacked King Devimon and has taken him out of the equation. It seems that the D-Reaper was prematurely been released and might not even obey Dark Magimon just as we expected."
"So, are you saying that we should just let this one slide and continue our walk towards Zhuqiaomon's lair?" asked Leomon.
"Yes. But I'm going to let one of you attempt to go over there and lend those three a hand against the D-Reaper."
"Then I should be the one to go. Since I'm the strongest of the group," TK said, "Patamon and I will go investigate."
"Then I'm coming as well," Takato said.
"No. We may need you just in case Zhuqiaomon decides to attack us. After all, I'm nowhere near Zhuqiaomon's level without Shintomon," Buddamon said, "Don't worry. I am sure Rika will be fine, for now, Takato."
"He's right. She's a pretty tough gal. They don't call her the Digimon Queen for nothing," said Henry.
"Please, we might really need your help," Jeri replied, "Rika has Kari, Renamon and Shintomon backing her up. Don't worry."
"You're right. Ok, I agree with the terms. TK, do make sure that Rika and Renamon are fine."
"I will Takato, you have my word," the blonde-haired young man replied.
"I'm ready whenever you are, TK," Patamon said.
"Good luck to you, Takeru. Safe journey," Buddamon stated.
"Right! Time to fusion evolve, Patamon!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
TK's D-3 started to glow and it quickly gave Angemon more power and TK quickly turns into a mass of data. Angemon spreads his arms out as he accepts the spirit of TK's data.
"Angemon! Fusion evolve!"
They both soon became a massive ball of energy and the feather wings were quickly being replaced by metallic blade-wings. His helmet soon disappeared and gave away to a more cybernetic headpiece decorated with yellow eyes glowing out, not to mention more armor on his body. But it seemed as though this armor was not even heavy at all. Then a sword shaped like a lighting bolt appeared in his hands. He twists it around and then gets into a fighting stance with a electrical bolts striking his body and giving him more energy than he needs.
"War Angemon!"
The Tamers all looked on in awe at what had just occurred. Takato, Henry, Kazu, Kenta and Jeri were all looking on speechless.
"Man, that is like one of the coolest things I have ever seen," said Kazu.
"I wish I had one of those," said Kenta.
"I better be heading out my friends," said War Angemon, "I bid you good luck with the sovereign."
"You becareful, War Angemon," Leomon said, "Don't worry about us. We can pretty much hand this."
"Wow, cool suit," said Terriermon, "Hey, Henry. Are you ever going to merge with me? Not like I'm rushing you or anything."
"Time will tell, Terriermon," the blue-haired boy said. "Though, it would be a scary thought."
"Wow this is incredible. I don't understand why Zhuqiaomon would be against this. These fusion warriors might just be what we need to defeat the D-Reaper. I always told my master never to make any deals with Dark Magimon. That crafty sorcerer can't be trusted. Well, its time Zhuqiaomon gets a dose of reality,"Lopmon said to herself.
As soon as War Angemon flew out from the southern quadrant and headed out towards the skies above, Buddamon got his group together and they were making their way over towards the castle of Zhuqiaomon. It would be only a matter of moments before they would come face to face with the human-loathing super being himself.
Takato looks down at the ground as Jeri took notice of him.
"You ok, Takato?"
"Yeah, just worried about Rika and the others."
"Don't worry. She'll be fine. She's a tough gal. All you need to worry is facing this sovereign. Okay? No more being down on yourself."
"You're right. I shouldn't be worried. This is Rika we are talking about. I'm sure her and the others are doing just fine!"
"The same can go for Davis. I haven't heard anything from him yet. I hope he's doing alright as well," Sonja thought.
"Yo, what's biting you, Sonja?" Kazu asked.
"Yeah, what gives?" Guardromon said.
Sonja simply turns around and continues to walk along with the group while heading towards the gateways of the digimon sovereign of the south quadrant.
War Angemon was flying across the landscape while picking up the energy signals from Celesta X and D-Reaper. They were over in the northern section. He would have to get there as soon as possible before any harm comes to them.
"Just hang in there, Kari! I'm on my way. Plus I promised Takato to check on Rika. I just wonder how they are going to fare against the D-Reaper. I wonder what this D-Reaper looks like. Well there's no time to ask myself questions. Time is of essence here,"TK said to himself in War Angemon's thoughts.

[Puddle in the Mudd "Control" plays]
Omega X flies back and lands. He quickly leaps into the air again, but the ground that he was standing on was quickly shattered away. Metalla X lands in the new dust cloud and lunges at Omega X, screaming. He pulls back his arm to punch, but Omega X catches it. When Omega X counters with a punch of his own, Metalla X catches that one and they are locked with one another, while holding each other's fists.
"Matt! We shouldn't be doing this! We're responsible for that monster's release!"
"Why should I care?! That has nothing to do with our fight!"
"It will kill everyone we know. Both in our world and the two digital worlds! Everyone! That also includes Mimi and Dimitri!"
Metalla X struggles with that for a second and then screams out.
"SHUT UP!"
He goes to knee Omega X hard in the midsection.
"Shut up!"
He pulls back his arm and elbows Omega X in the face.
"SHUT UP!"
Omega X goes flying back, but quickly catches himself. Metalla X chases right after him and the fight begins again a few yards back.
"I allowed myself to be charmed by Dark Magimon in order to get rid of that weakness!"
As soon as he speaks, Metalla X goes on with a punch offensive, but Omega X manages to dodge each hit.
"I don't care what happens to anyone!"
He finishes with one more strong punch that Omega X was able to catch.
"You liar!"
This quickly catches Metalla X by surprise.
"You are lying, damn it!"
Omega X punches Metalla X right in the face and sends Metalla X falling back. He crashes into the ground, causing a huge indention into the ground. Omega X stands over him while Metalla X was slowly getting to his knees and angrily glares up at him.
"You didn't completely sell your soul."
Metalla X stands up and spits some blood to the side. He wipes more blood from his chin, but leaves his fist to cover most of his face, glaring at Omega X over his arm. They stare at each other, and, finally, Metalla X drops his hand. He turns towards Omega X, grinning.
"I understand. We're just putting off this fight. It looks like you're more worried about D-Reaper than concentrating on this fight."
"Matt! Alright!"
Metalla X holds out his hand.
"Give me some of your energy. I could use it, since we're going to need as much power to fight this thing."
"Sure thing, Matt. I'm so glad that you finally came to your senses!"
As soon as Omega X turns to place his hand over his chest, while Metalla X was walking up from behind him.
"If we can work together, I'm sure we can defeat D-Reaper," said Omega X.
Metalla X quickly clenches his fist and then holds it out with his other arm, as if he were about to hit a baseball. Omega X smiles as he began to absorb some of his own power, in order to transfer it to Metalla X. But then, Metalla X executes a forearm smash to the back of Omega X's head. He cries out in surprise and pain, as his eyes widen and his mouth hanging open. He falls to the ground, quickly de-evolving back into Tai and Agumon. They both land with a thud and looked just about out of it. Metalla X stands over them with his arms held up.
"Even you had to let your guard down when you got tired."
He reaches down and begins absorbing some of Tai's former crest energy. He stares at his body, which began to glow with a golden aura and it explodes with a metallic blue aura instead. The new aura had more sparks of electricity running through it. The recovery alone causes his strength to jump, which causes him to release a small shockwave that blows dust around him. He then looks right down at the two fallen heroes.
"I let D-Reaper loose. I'll take care of it."
He then stakes a few steps away, stops but doesn't look back at Tai.
"I'll finish the fight with you later…"
He looks back with a grin on his grin.
"…If I'm still alive that is…"

[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Celesta X, Taomon and Rika all stare out in fear and amazement at D-Reaper. Shintomon was just about the same way.
"Incredible! Just incredible! Well, D-Reaper, you have to do what I tell you. I'm your new master!"
D-Reaper looks over at the sorcerer hold her holds up to her face and stick her tongue out at him. Dark Magimon angrily glares, clenching his teeth. D-Reaper waves her hands at Dark Magimon.
"Do you think that you can rebel against me?"
D-Reaper suddenly stops for a moment with a confused look on her face.
"I studied my father's notes. I've memorized the spell that will imprison you in the sphere."
"Huh?"
"I bet you don't want to go back in there right?"
"Eh?"
D-Reaper quickly straightens out her face, smiling. She bows, while Dark Magimon looks on laughing.
"Alright! That's what I wanted to see!"
"Shintomon… It looks like D-Reaper is still a child," said Rika, "If we kill Dark Magimon, maybe he won't be so bad."
Shintomon looks right over towards them with a serious look on his face.
"That won't work, Rika! Without Dark Magimon, we won't be able to re-imprison D-Reaper!"
The Supreme guardian looks back towards Dark Magimon and D-Reaper, watching the two reconcile their differences.
"D-Reaper is a terrible monster despite its appearance. Eventually, Dark Magimon won't be able to control D-Reaper and he will have to return it back into the sphere. We'll have to wait until then. Theres nothing I can do, and I'm a Supreme guardian. I'm higher than the sovereigns themselves. I hate myself. I shouldn't have allowed this to happen! I was sure that we could have defeated Dark Magimon and prevent D-Reaper's resurrection. If I'd known that your fusion warriors surpassed my power, we could have used that other method, too!"
"That other method?" asked Celesta X.
"No, it's too late. We won't be able to escape D-Reaper. Neither of us will survive!"
Celesta X quickly turns around to face him and clenches her fists.
"What are you talking about?! The least we can do it get away from here!"
Dark Magimon points out towards Shintomon and the others, while D-Reaper looked up curiously. Shintomon looks down gasping in shock.
"Alright! D-Reaper, this is your first mission! Kill those four!"
Shintomon's eyes go wide and he gasps. Celesta X's expression was much similar. Rika and Taomon were just stunned, period. D-Reaper takes a step forward, throwing her arms into the air, and begins screaming out like a little girl. Celesta X turns and quickly snatches Shintomon by the air. Taomon does the same by grabbing Rika.
"We have to get out of here now!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"Good call!" replied Rika, "Lets get the hell out of here, Taomon!"
"I'm with you!"
The digimon's aura flared up as they flew across the skies and were traveling over such a long distance away from the area that D-Reaper was standing. They were now long gone within the distance. D-Reaper smiles as she watches them flee.
"We'll be alright! I'm pretty confident on my speed," said Celesta X.
"You okay, Rika?"
"Yeah. I think so. I should be fine."
Dark Magimon angrily shakes his fists right over at D-Reaper and began scolding her.
"What the hell are you doing, D-Reaper?! They're getting away!"
D-Reaper leans forward with one leg back as if she were about to do a sprint and suddenly rockets herself into the air, throwing up a huge cloud of dust. Dark Magimon hacks and coughs, then finally looks up and sees that everyone was gone.
"Huh? Where did everyone go?!"
D-Reaper raced through the air. She quickly gains right on them, and they both looked back. They see nobody behind them and shifted their focus ahead again. Their eyes go widen in disbelief. Suddenly D-Reaper stopped right in front of the group. D-Reaper makes a face and the digimon stare at her in stunned horror.
"That's impossible!"
"How did it do that?!"
Shintomon gasps in complete shock and watches as D-Reaper pulls back an arm.
"You two die!"
Celesta X and Taomon watch on still stunned by D-Reaper's speed and doesn't make an attempt to move away. They both get smashed in the head by D-Reaper's fists. The two digimon go flying down and plummeted to the ground below. Taomon was able to hold onto Rika on the way down and Celesta X landed hard and lies next to them. Both were now buried by tons of rock.
Shintomon cries out in fear and shock. He turns away from the digimon team and then back to D-Reaper, who floats just above him with her arms and legs spread. Unable to fight or escape, Shintomon simply stares in horror with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.
Is there any escape from D-Reaper's deadly rampage? The losses are now beginning and can Shintomon put a stop to the D-Reaper?

[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Hikari on the Brink of Death! Mega Gargomon's Ultimate Evolution!
Dark Magimon's ship. Ground level.
D-Reaper was still in the sky above Shintomon with her arms and legs spread out. Shintomon watches helplessly and staring up in fear. He slowly backs away, but D-Reaper seems to be moving forward a bit. Dark Magimon watches on laughing maniacally and was looking forward to seeing his archenemy about to die.
"This is great, D-Reaper! Kill him! Kill him!"
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Shintomon stops moving and quickly adopts a fighting pose while D-Reaper continually moves slowly towards him. Shintomon glances down towards the crater on the ground, at which both Taomon and Celesta X were resting. They were remaining still, but slowly began to move. Rika was slowly regaining her senses and looks up to Taomon.
"Are you okay, Taomon?"
"I'm fine, but I've never felt anything so painful…"
"D-Reaper gave… us… quite a blow," Celesta X muttered.
"Wheres Shintomon?" Rika asked.
D-Reaper begins to laugh and scream as she starts to puff out her own stomach, which was now inches away from Shintomon, but he stands away with his arms up in defense. D-Reaper starts to approach much closer to Shintomon. Finally, Shintomon cries out and throws up his right hand, hitting D-Reaper in the face with a gust of wind. D-Reaper's head is thrown back, but not even forced away by Shintomon. Dark Magimon looks on gasping.
After a few moments, D-Reaper sits back up, still smiling. Shintomon gasps in shock. He lowers his head, watching in complete terror. D-Reaper has a devilish grin on her face and suddenly claps both hands with Shintomon's head in the middle. Shintomon grunts out in surprise and pain as they hit. D-Reaper slowly removes her hands as Shintomon's face was now all battered. His eyes were completely shut and his mouth hangs open in another painful grunt. D-Reaper pulls back a fist and clenches it. Instead of punching him, D-Reaper smashes him in the head causing Shintomon to go plummeting down into the rocky ground below sending up dust and debris flying as a result.
"No! Shintomon!" Rika cried out.
"We've got to stop that thing before he kills Shintomon," Taomon said.
"If only we can withstand this pain… I tell you. It's unreal," replied Celesta X.
"We better hurry or we're going to lose him."
D-Reaper looks on laughing and screaming happily. Shintomon races out of the dust cloud. He appears right in front of D-Reaper again. This caught the monster by surprise. Shintomon throws his hands together at the wrist towards D-Reaper's midsection; he powers up a red ki-blast and shoots it out. The blast seemingly goes right though D-Reaper, blowing a hole right through her and continuing on. Shintomon was forced to shield his own eyes from the bright explosion and all can be seen is a bright, pink light in the sky. The ball slowly shrinks and fades away. Shintomon gasps and looks right up at D-Reaper, gasping once again.
D-Reaper has been thrown back and is laying on his back in midair. She quickly rights herself, not even having a single scratch on her. She goes flying right back to Shintomon.
"Oh shit! I can't penetrate it!"
Shintomon's eyes twitch as he goes staring right up at D-Reaper. D-Reaper pulls back and smashes her own head into Shintomon's. Shintomon once again goes falling and screams all the way down. Celesta X and Taomon watch on helplessly.
"Shintomon!"
"Oh no!"
Shintomon goes crashing into a nearby cliff and it causes a small explosion as a result. Dark Magimon looks on laughing to himself.
"That's awesome, D-Reaper! Now kill him! Kill him!"
Celesta X and Taomon look on angrily, as they lowered their heads and unleashed powerful aura waves all around them, throwing up rocks all around them.
"You two be careful," said Rika.
They both struggled to their feet while staggering forward and groaning in pain along the way. They almost collapsed but were taking deep breaths and look back up.
"Shintomon. He had sacrificed himself for us," Taomon said.
"Yeah, but he isn't dead yet. D-Reaper was just toying with him. I have a bad feeling that D-Reaper's true power has not been displayed just yet."
D-Reaper starts celebrating in midair, while Shintomon struggles to get back up from the fallen rubble that was covering him. His breathing was ragged and labored as the last of the rocks fall away. He then hears something and looks up to see D-Reaper descending. D-Reaper abruptly stops laughing and has a self-confident grin on her face. Shintomon glares fearfully and once again climbs up to his feet.
"Damn you…"
Shintomon clenches his fists tightly, along with his teeth and shuts his eyes as if he were about to charge up his ki. D-Reaper slowly walks up forward, her feet making imprints in the rock in every step. Shintomon concentrates as D-Reaper approaches. Suddenly, Shintomon's eyes shoot open, glowing a bright blue. D-Reaper is thrown back with a surprised grunt.
"How did you like that?!"
But D-Reaper rights herself back, smiling. Shintomon was now out of ideas and gasps in horror as D-Reaper sets her feet back down. D-Reaper scratches her face and Shintomon steps back, taking a fighting pose despite the futility of it. D-Reaper holds up her right hand and clenches a fist at her side with the other in a fighting pose. She begins to walk forward and Shintomon starts backing away. D-Reaper flashes a devilish grin again and her eyes glow red. Shintomon contorts in pain and screams. This causes him to go flying back through the ground and skimming away into the distance. He was so close to the ground that there was a ton of dust cloud surrounding him while sliding through the rock. Dark Magimon watches happily, but is surprised to see Shintomon racing towards him.
"What?!"
He turns to run and was almost hit by Shintomon. He sees Shintomon lying motionless and face-first in the dirt. In fact, the Supreme guardian was only a few feet away from the sorcerer.
"Huh? You came all the way back here. Lets see how you are doing."
The sorcerer walks up towards Shintomon, who twitches a little, but doesn't open his eyes.
"Does it hurt that much, Shintomon?"
He begins nudging Shintomon's shoulder with his foot. He quickly hears a notice and looks up to see D-Reaper descending again.
"What?! She's back."
D-Reaper lands right on top of Shintomon, her foot knocking Dark Magimon out of the way. Shintomon cries out in pain with his eyes shooting out wide open. He groans in pain. Dark Magimon comes running up.
"What are you doing napping here? One wouldn't think that you were king of the digital universes."
Shintomon simply ignores the sorcerer's taunts and slowly tries to lift himself up, but fails and collapses onto the ground. Dark Magimon began to laugh once again.
"This feels great! Maybe I should finish him off now!"
Suddenly, two screams ring out and Dark Magimon looks over to see both Celesta X and Taomon with their feet outstretched. They both collided with D-Reaper, knocking it away. Dark Magimon screams and runs away.
"Are you alright, Shintomon?" asked Celesta X.
Shintomon slowly looks back over with his shoulder with a weak smile. Dark Magimon stops running and looks back over towards the two digimon.
"Damn and it was just getting good."
Meanwhile, D-Reaper, who didn't even fall over but instead caught her balance by standing on one foot, looks back over towards Taomon and Celesta X.
The digimon gasp while D-Reaper chart-wheeled herself back over towards where they were standing. She jumps back to her feet beside the two digimon and puffs off her face to get rid of the imprints left by their feet. She turns towards them, laughing. They looked on with shock and fear, with their arms up in fighting poses.
"What is it?! That's didn't even hurt it at all?"Taomon asked in thought.
"Its like we're hitting nothing but ooze itself! This is impossible,"Celesta X said to herself.
D-Reaper once again flashes a devilish grin and coldly speaks.
"You two are in the way! You disappear!"
The two digimon go flying forward with their arms outstretched, but Shintomon goes screaming on.
"Hikari! Renamon! Look out!"
D-Reaper throws her hands forward and throws out a blue stream of ki at both Celesta X and Taomon, which they easily pass through. However, when they were just a few inches away, what basically looked like a beam of light turns into a ball of blue and white ki that quickly expands with Celesta X trapped inside of it but sending Taomon flying back to where Rika was laying. Taomon de-evolved back to Renamon and was laid in front of her Tamer. She held onto the neon-colored fox to prevent her from getting caught by the ki ball.
"Renamon! Kari!"
Celesta X screams as she rides the ki ball that's bigger than her. Shintomon watches helplessly as the ball curves into the air. Dark Magimon watches and laughs maniacally.
"I can't see her anymore! I hope she falls off the edge of this digital plane field!"
The ki ball continues into the sky with Celesta X to even escape her way through it.
Shintomon slowly climbs onto his hands and knees while looking back over his shoulder. His eyes flash blue and the ki ball explodes. Celesta X goes falling out of the sky, through some trees and onto the floor of a nearby forest. Shintomon lies back down on the ground with an exhausted look on his face. He looks over towards that direction.
"Please… survive… Hikari… We're going to need you…"
With that said, Shintomon's eyes close and he falls back down onto the ground face-first.
"Hey?! Did you just do something?" asked Dark Magimon.
Shintomon doesn't respond as he was laid out.
Meanwhile, Kari and Gatomon were both layed out in the forest after de-evolving from their fusion form. They were just about in the same state as Shintomon, either dead of knocked out completely unconscious.

Earth. West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel. Cafeteria
The remaining Digi-Destined were dining in at the hotel's cafeteria. They were just about to finish up. From there, they would depart and make their way over to Izzy's hotel room.
Yolei had finished a second plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Hawkmon looked on with a rather displeased look on his face. The others had finished eating and were waiting for the ravenous one.
"What? What's with the silent treatment all of a sudden?" Yolei asked.
"We've been waiting here for an hour," Sora said. "I think we should get going. It's not like this cafeteria offered the best food."
"You can say that again. I think those mashed potatoes are cramping my stomach," Gomamon muttered.
"I say we go. We don't want to keep Izzy waiting for long. Now do we, Yolei?" Hawkmon asked.
"Ok. It's just been too long since I had a spaghetti meal. Ready to go, troops?"
"Oh boy. Troops. Now I feel like I'm in the military," Joe said. "I've gotta shake that bad image out."
"I'm still wondering about this Shibumi person," Mimi said. "I think I've heard that name somewhere before."
"Maybe a designer company?" Palmon suggested.
"I doubt Izzy would want anything to do with fashion, Palmon," Biyomon said.
"Whatever Izzy has to tell us, it's important. We shouldn't take this too lightly," said Sora. "So. I say we go see what he has to tell us and we'll decide where to go from there. Understood?"
"Yeah."
"You know. We really have to consider the fact that half of our group are in that other digital world for the sake of our planet."
"Sora, you're forgetting that our team consist four of the powerful true fusion warriors," Joe said. "They'll succeed and return home."
"I just hope you're right, Joe."
"Aren't I always right?"
"Not all the time," Gomamon said. "But don't worry, you haven't jinxed us."
"I just hope you're right, Joe," Sora thought.
**************************************************************************************
Southern Gates of Zhuqiaomon
The whole group was discussing who would enter with Buddamon to confront the sovereign. There was a bit of tension, mainly between Suzie and Henry.
"But I want to go with you," Suzie said, "Please, let me go with you."
"No. You can't Suzie. It's too dangerous. I want you to stay here."
"But, can at least Lopmon stay here?"
"I'm sorry, Suzie. I have to go confront my master. I was one of his servants. Maybe I can try to talk some sense into him. Besides Zhuqiaomon would let no one else enter except with my permission."
"Then, Terriermon can stay right?"
"I'm so sorry, Suzie. But I have to stay with Henry and back up him in case ol' grumpy decides to kick our butts."
"Then, that means I would be the only one staying hewe! I can't stay out here alone! Please, let me go with you."
Just as Suzie was about to run up towards Henry, he turns around and raises a hand causing Suzie to fall back with a surprised look on her face. Everyone was just as shocked. Suzie sits down on the ground.
"Just what is he talking about?" Jeri asked.
"No kidding," Sonja replied, "We just can't leave the poor thing out here alone."
"If she were to come with us, then it would make things a lot harder than it seems," explained Henry.
"Then, in that case, we'll look after her," said Kazu.
"Are you sure?" asked Henry.
"Sure, while you guys go and confront this sovereign, you can leave this whole guarding the lady for me and Kenta."
"We're really good with kids, anyways," replied Kenta.
"We'll be responsible citizens for looking out for somebody's little sister," said Kazu.
"Ha! You two bozos are actually being responsible?" Sonja asked sarcastically.
"Can it, Sonja!" the two boys cried out.
"Alright, its in agreement. These two and Guardromon shall watch over Suzie. Meanwhile, the rest of us will go and confront the Sovereign. This should be more than enough. Lets go," said Buddamon.
"Good luck guys! Win another one for the good guys!" exclaimed Kazu.
"Don't go dying on us!" Kenta called out.
"Yeah. Thanks a lot for believing in us," said Takato.
Buddamon lead the three Tamers, the half-artificial and the four digimon through the pathway. Suddenly, a bubble formed around them and it was soon bringing them across the pathway. The others looked over to Henry, who was visibly angry.
"I can't believe Suzie had to come. She has no business being here in the Digital World. It's too dangerous for her. We should just hurry up, confront this stupid sovereign, find Calumon, find the others and go home! Plus, I'm sure the others can take care of the D-Reaper."
"You know you're right about one thing. We got a whole army of fusion warriors on our side, and they should be more than enough to beat this D-Reaper. We got other important things to do. But I just hope Rika will make it through. She happens to be in the line of fire as we speak."
"Don't worry, Takato," said Buddamon, "Just focus on this mission. Rika can pretty much defend and handle herself."
"He's right. She's not your usual damsel in distress anyway," said Jeri, "She's tough. We got a mission on our hands."
Takato nods his head and begins telling himself not to worry so much and to concentrate more on the current mission.
"Besides, we're all going to see each other again and we're going home after this is all said and done," said Guilmon, "Plus your dad promised me Guilmon bread if we were to come back."
"That's true. If I should have confidence in myself, then we all should have confidence in each other."
The whole group nodded towards each other as they gazed over towards the castle lair of the southern sovereign himself, Zhuqiaomon.
"So, Terriermon, you think you're up for this fight, little guy?" asked Sonja.
"Me? You're kidding me? I'm ready for anything as long as I'm at Henry's side. We're pretty much the unstoppable dynamic duo. And I'm not talking about Batman & Robin either."
"Well, like they always say, the smallest always end up being the best. Patamon sure showed me," Leomon said.
"Thanks for the compliments. So, are we there yet?"
"We are drawing very close, my friend," said Buddamon, "Very close indeed."
As soon as the bubble was getting closer and closer to the lair, the sovereign could easily sense their presence. A fiery blast comes flaring up from within the lair as a dark, corruptive voice spoke.
"So these digimon rely on the power of humans alone to gain more strength. Well, I won't this abomination to continue! I shall bring an end to this! The traitors shall not be forgive for protecting the humans."
The group already reached over towards the door as Lopmon and Buddamon stepped forward towards the door. As soon as they did that, the door opened up and it lead them directly towards the lair itself. The digimon were beginning to pick up a very powerful presence from within the lair. As soon as they reached, the next door opened and they finally made it into the lair. Lopmon bows and turns towards the shrine.
"Oh my sovereign. I call forth upon you."
"Trespassers! You actually have the gull to enter my holy chamber grounds?! Well, you're now going to suffer the ultimate punishment! You dare to bring in the human filth into my shrine?!"
The fire within the lair started to flare up and a huge monster revealed itself. The sovereign turned out to be a giant, phoenix bird with digi-cores surrounding his body.
"Sovereign, we have come to find the one named Calumon, the bearer of digivolution itself."
"Ha! You actually think I would know? I do not know where he is, but you have led these humans into my lair! You shall not be unpunished, Buddamon! And since I don't see Shintomon, there should be no reason to why I should just destroy you now and bring my attention to these worthless humans!"
"Alright guys! I'm not afraid of this flaming turkey! Lets get ready to matrix evolve! Now!"
Takato and Henry quickly pulled out their D-Arks and slashed their cards through them.

The three newly evolved digimon stood in front of their Tamers while facing off the mighty sovereign, Zhuqiaomon. Sonja also stepped up to the plate and stood side by side with the evolved digimon.
"So, is this what you maggots call evolution?! You relied on the help of humans to gain this incredible power, but its not enough to stop my wrath! I will take each of you down one by one!"
"I've never felt such strength before,"Cyberleomon said in thought,"Though he's not as threatening as a monster like Burizalor, but his presence still puts chills to anyone's spine."
"Whoa. This is going to take a lot of effort,"Sonja said to herself,"What a frightening power! But I don't care; I'm going to take him on with everything I have. And he dares call me a maggot?! Well, I'm sure going to show him what I'm made of. I am not ordinary human."
The five warriors stood facing off against Zhuqiaomon as they were about to prepare themselves for one of their toughest battles ever. Either, they would come out victorious or become another set of flashes in the frying pan.
"I just hope Rika is doing well. I really wish I didn't leave her side,"Takato thought.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Ground level.
Dark Magimon begins laughing manically, as he spoke up.
"I like how this is turning out! You tried to get in my way, but I really should thank you. Without the digimon you brought, I wouldn't have resurrected D-Reaper this fast."
Still out, Shintomon obviously didn't respond and was completely out cold. After a pause, Dark Magimon rambles on.
"The least I can do is show my gratitude is to kill you myself."
He starts to loom right over the fallen Shintomon with his arms about to grab him.
"I'm sure my father, who was killed by you, will be overjoyed to see this very moment."
He holds his hands out over Shintomon and was about to kill him, but the Supreme guardian eye's twitch. Dark Magimon screams and pulls his hands back, but nothing else comes out of Shintomon.
"Well I've had enough. D-Reaper, you can go ahead and kill Shintomon yourself."
[Deftones "Shove It" plays]
Just as D-Reaper turned around to face Dark Magimon, a spear plunges through D-Reaper as Dark Magimon's eyes go wide.
"Eh?!"
The sorcerer steps back with fear in his eyes while D-Reaper stood there completely unfazed. Magimon was starting to go into complete shock.
"Wha… Wha… Wha… Wha… Wha… Wha… What?!"
He looks right behind the D-Reaper to see none other than King Devimon with his arm still out after throwing the spear. His chest heaves and his eyes have obviously regenerated by some sort of dark magic he had used.
"Ah! King Devimon! I can't believe you're still alive! How dare you do that?!"
King Devimon doesn't respond and looks right over towards D-Reaper, who was still staring down at the spear.
*************************************************************************************
Suddenly, a light appeared over the horizon and it is revealed to be none other than War Angemon. He scans the ground while flying over
"That's weird. They should be around here somewhere."
He then looks up and seems something within the distance. A smile comes across his face.
"That's got to be them!"
With that said, he goes diving for the air and drops his aura at the same time, to keep his power hidden. He slowly walks over the edge of the cliff and peer over to the side.
"I wonder what's going on? I don't see Kari but I do see Rika. She looks fine and Renamon looks to be out. That's a good sign. Takato would be pleased to hear about that. But I don't see Kari. Is she fighting one of Magimon's henchmen elsewhere? I see Magimon and King Devimon, so is that them? What the hell is that slimy thing?!"
He looks ahead and clearly sees Magimon hopping up and down as if he were angry.
"Maybe he's mad that Kari already beat them. That's a possibility. But why aren't they dead? It doesn't make sense, she didn't even kill them off?"
War Angemon jumps down to the side of the cliff and at a much lower ki, resuming to crawl forward. He pauses when he reaches the edge. He now has a better view of King Devimon, Magimon and the D-Reaper. He ducks under behind some rocks.
"I wonder what the hell is going on? I've never seen that slimy creature, maybe another henchman? No! That's got to be the D-Reaper! If that's the case then Kari must be in trouble, but then again, why would it have a spear through its chest and Magimon looking visibly upset. Did Kari foil their plans already? But why would she leave Rika and Renamon behind. Something doesn't sound right."
Just then, he looks right up to the cliff and noticed the two same statues of none other than Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon. He gasped in surprise and runs up towards the statues.
"Whoa! That's Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon. I wonder how they turned to stone! Man, I've got to get these guys free!"
He went over to examine the two statues and tried some of his healing powers, but all came to no avail. For some reason, his magical healing powers weren't reviving Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon.
"Did D-Reaper do this to them? I wouldn't doubt it. If D-Reaper can do something like this, we're seriously in deep trouble. I don't see Matt and Tai, they probably are somewhere within the Digital World taking out their frustrations on each other. I was totally against those two fighting."
He quickly peers over the mountain to see that Dark Magimon was still hopping and nothing has really changed.
"Whew. It looks like they haven't noticed me. I better check this out. Maybe I can get a better understanding of this whole situation."
Dark Magimon was angrily clenching his fists as King Devimon slowly stalks forward.
"Magimon, this thing, this D-Reaper will never be fit to serve you! Someday, he'll stop following your orders and your magic will be no good against him."
But the evil sorcerer simply glares at him angrily, clenching his fists tightly. He looks back to see D-Reaper, still staring right down at the spear.
"If you don't kill him now, then something terrible will happen!"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
"What?!"
"How dare you say this to my D-Reaper?!"
The sorcerer points over to his former slave while clenching his teeth angrily.
"But, Magimon… Why?"
"How dare you! I don't need you anymore, King Devimon!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper pulls the spear right out of her chest and pulls it out. Both King Devimon and Dark Magimon look on with shock. D-Reaper discards the spear.
"No! How is it still living?!" Rika exclaimed.
"D-Reaper, are you al right?" asked Dark Magimon.
D-Reaper turns around and Dark Magimon gasps at the large hole in her chest. The hole slowly closes and within seconds, it appears that the injury never happened at all.
"What?! No!" King Devimon exclaimed.
"Impossible… What the hell is that thing made of?" Rika pondered while holding onto Renamon.
D-Reaper simply smiles with Dark Magimon shocked as ever. The sorcerer than begins to laugh happily while hopping up and down.
"Amazing! Amazing! My father made an incredible monster!"
King Devimon simply stares right over in shock, while D-Reaper grins and narrows her eyes right over towards the demon. It's voice transforms from child-like into something similar to a borg's.
"Subject classified… King Devimon… You shall be deleted…"
Dark Magimon watches anxiously as D-Reaper takes a step forward, while King Devimon simply stares right over in shock. Shintomon was still laid out on the ground, completely unconscious.
Rika was still looking on with stunned silence while holding an unconscious Renamon in her arms. War Angemon was just as shocked and was unable to speak but choked on his own words.
Meanwhile, Kari and Gatomon were completely out cold as digimon started to crowd around them curiously, but not savagely. The two were unable to move, but were barely breathing.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Tai and Agumon remained knocked out in the battlefield, as Metalla X stares into the hole in the ship's floor that leads to the fourth stage.
"If I destroy this seal, I should be able to enter Magimon's ship. After I enter and destroy it, I should be at the same place as D-Reaper. I can't even feel Celesta X's ki anymore."
He looks up at the ship's entrance.
"I can't forgive myself. It was my fault."
He looks back over his shoulder and towards the fallen Tai.
"Tai…"
He quickly turns away and walks up to the center of the fourth stage entrance, while charging up his ki.
***************************************************************************************
The Central Digiverse. The Grand Digital Planet
X stood with a tense look on his masked face. Though his mask concealed his emotions, he was definitely anxious over the turn of events. He feared the worst for Celesta X and the condition of Tai.
"Shintomon… I'm sorry, my friend… I should have gone myself. You should have let me go out there to aid the Digi-Destined…"
"It's not you're fault, X…"
"Keke… I know this is Tai's responsibility. But there's times that I need to relive my former glory. But I made an agreement. After we had perished in a battle years ago, the power that be granted to return our spirits to our old bodies on one condition…"
"We wouldn't be allowed to get ourselves involved in anyone else's duties… I helped train Tai and he's far surpassed my expectations. I expected that to happen. But, now. With the D-Reaper released, it looks like I'll have to break this agreement."
"But…"
"I don't care if it kills me! I have to go and aid my protégé!"
"Listen… I think we should remain calm now… Do you sense my father's ki?"
"Yes. He just revived himself."
"He's getting ready to face his crimes."
"So, Matt is finally going to repent for his sins? It's been a long time coming. He's going to fight the D-Reaper, alone? It will be suicide, but we can depend on him…"
"Don't forget. My father is capable of pulling off impossible odds, just like Tai would."
"Not to mention Kari and TK. Those four have really stepped up a notch. The multiple worlds rest on your shoulders, Matt…"
"You can do it, father."
**************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Lair
[Saliva "Click Click Boom" plays]
The mighty fiery sovereign watches as the four warriors all charged up towards him. He could only laugh at their attempt and began powering up his digicores.
"Bring it on, maggots! Show me the depth of your true power! I want to see if these despicable humans were enough to unleash your hidden, maximum powers!"
"Everyone! Attack at the same time!" exclaimed War Growlmon.
"I'll start it off! Rapid Fire!"
"Fist of Justice!"
Sonja simply powers up and shoots out a powerful energy blast by cupping both of her hands.
"Atomic Blaster!"
As soon as all four energy attacks nailed Zhuqiaomon, they all made direct contact but were still not enough to put away the powerful sovereign as they heard a deep laugh. The dust cloud cleared away and Zhuqiaomon unleashed his fiery power to see his way through.
"Is that the best you insects got?! What a waste! Your powers are like mosquito bites!"
"Aww man! No way! He was able to phase out our digimon's attacks," said Henry, "This sovereign s going to be tough."
"Yeah, since the Atomic Blaster had no affect on him. What are we going to do now guys?" Takato pondered.
"I'll tell you what you can do! And that's simply surrender yourselves to me and maybe I might show a little pity, but you won't go unpunished! You honestly think that your pets can overpower me? I think not!"
"Sovereign! Please, don't do this! They are not at fault! Dark Magimon has unleashed the D-Reaper and the Digital World could very well be at danger!"
"Silence, Lopmon! Your betrayal has angered me! What makes you think I will ever trust you again? Magimon made a deal to never interfere with my plans! And that deal remains as it stands today! He has not interfered and his business shall is not mine to worry about! Now, prepare for the ultimate digimon roasting! Who wants to die first?!"
"I can't reason with him. What are we going to do?" Lopmon asked.
"I'll tell you what we're going to do! We're going to do what it takes to defeat the sovereign to whatever it takes!" exclaimed Takato. "Isn't that right, Henry?"
"Uhhh, yeah."
"I think not! Feel my wrath! Phoenix Fire!"
As soon as he said that, Zhuqiaomon shoots out a fiery blast over at the digimon group. Sonja was able to maneuver away but the digimon managed to shield themselves. They were all thrown back as a result.
"No! Rapidmon!"
"Cyberleomon!"
"War Growlmon!"
Sonja flips back and then looks up towards the sovereign and began to blast away several ki beams at the fiery monster. But they were ineffective and easily dissipated over his body.
"No! That's impossible!"
"Not impossible for me to do this to you, human! Phoenix Fire!"
Sonja watches as Zhuqiaomon shoots out another fiery blast, but this time was unable to maneuver away as she goes flying back. Luckily, she was unscathed by the tremendous heat.
"Sonja! Are you okay?!" exclaimed Lopmon.
"I'm fine…"
"Alright! That's it! Now you're making me mad, turkey!" exclaimed Rapidmon as he goes flying up.
"So you want some more of me, weakling?!"
"You bet! Rapid Fire!"
Zhuqiaomon opens his wings and the missiles quickly evaporate into digital dust as a result. A deep laughter came from the sovereign once again.
"Weakling! My strength proves that humans are not necessary for digimon to get stronger and reach to their higher levels. I am one of the higher powers of this world! What makes you think that a low class maggot will be any kind of a threat to me?"
"Ok! Any bright ideas, Henry?"
"None. We're just going to have to attack with all we got. Besides I don't think your armor is not enough to shield yourself from his flames."
"War Growlmon! You think you can take him again?"
"I can try, Takato."
"Don't worry, Jeri. I got this under control. I have digivolved through and through many times. I have the most experience of the three. I should be able to handle the sovereign."
"But what if you're not?"
"We won't know until we try. Besides, the sovereign is only strong as Virus was in his final form. I should be able to take him."
"So the metallic one has spoken? You say that you have more experience of the three? Well, how come I was able to easily take you apart with my flames? Well its quite simple. I have been evolving for many of thousands of years! I have been in many battles and won them with my fellow sovereigns. Unlike them, I share disgust for weaklings, especially ones tamed by humans! And you are not exception!"
"Great! If only Guilmon and I could bio-merge into Gallantmon again. Then we can take this overgrown pigeon! I guess we're a little worn out from the fight with Beelzebumon. Ultimate or not, we're still going to come out of this alive!"
Rapidmon and War Growlmon go charging over at the sovereign as they shoot out their attacks.
"Rapid Fire!"
"Atomic Blaster!"
Zhuqiaomon easily vanquished both attacks with his fiery wings. He shoots out another Phoenix Fire that was able to send the two digimon flying back as a result. War Growlmon goes and shields the others from the fire. Zhuqiaomon turns to see Rapidmon flying towards him but he fires another blast, sending Rapidmon crashing into the wall and knocking him out unconscious.
"No! Rapidmon! Get up!"
"No! I can't take this anymore! If only I could digivolve, then I can help them!" Lopmon exclaimed.
"Lopmon! You are no longer a Deva and you will never return to the way you are. That is your punishment for helping these humans!"
Zhuqiaomon goes and shoots out a blast right over towards Lopmon, which caused the little dog bunny to gasp in fear.
***************************************************************************************
Outside of the lair of Zhuqiaomon, Suzie was sitting around while Kazu, Kenta and Guardromon were standing guard to watch over her. But they seem to be paying attention more to socializing than watching over the little girl.
Suddenly, Suzie's D-Ark began to react and she took a look at it with a gasp. She took a deep look into it and noticed an image of Zhuqiaomon about to destroy Lopmon with his fire. The girl gasped.
"No! Lopmon! I got to save her!"
But just as she was about to make her move, she had remembered her brother telling her to stay behind. She shook those thoughts out and by climbing up to the top of the gate and pressed the D-Ark against her head.
"I wish for Lopmon not to die and I want to help her as soon as possible."
Suddenly, a bright glow came over Suzie as she was starting to float away while her D-Ark was pulling her over towards Zhuqiaomon's lair. Guardromon was watching the whole thing and Kazu goes walking up to him.
"Hey, where's Suzie?"
"She went flying away."
"Huh?! I thought I told you to watch her?!"
"I did watch the whole thing."
"Grr! That's not what I meant, you idiot! She's not freaking Peter Pan!"
"What's a Peter Pan? Is he from your world?"
"Please, put me in a coma… Please, I beg of you…"
****************************************************************************************
Back within the lair, just as War Growlmon was about to resist the heat coming from Zhuqiaomon's fire that was burning on his back, Rapidmon missiles interfered with Zhuqiaomon.
"Rapidmon! You have to stop firing missiles!" exclaimed Cyberleomon, "Or your data could get corrupted!"
"Uhh! The only thing that I am concerned about is protecting Henry and Suzie! I'm considered a family member to them, and I'm not just going to stop and let this turkey fry them!"
Henry looks up and just heard Rapidmon consider himself a 'family member' to Suzie and himself. This completely shocked Henry and he was starting to feel that he didn't seem to treat Terriermon the same way.
"Um, earth to Henry! Rapidmon is getting wasted!"
Henry ignored Sonja's pleas and was still in a state of shock over what Rapidmon had just said.
"What was I thinking? I always seem to send Terriermon into battle without even thinking of what might to him. What have I done? I'm always too worried for Suzie's safety and never come to think of the welfare of my own digimon… I'm a bad Tamer."
Rapidmon was shot down by another one of Zhuqiaomon's blasts as he goes falling down and de-evolves back into Terriermon. Henry goes running over to the fallen rookie and picks him up.
"Oh, Terriermon. I should have sent you into battle like that. I never came to think what might have happened to you. It's my fault that you were taking the most punishment out there. I was too worried for my little sister…"
"…Henry… It's not your fault…"
"Huh?"
"We're not alone… Henry… I mean c'mon, we got friends here that will back us up…"
The whole group all nodded, everyone from War Growlmon to Sonja and even to Takato.
"Yeah! We're here to stand by your side and back you up through thick and thin! No matter how great the opposition is," the goggle boy said.
A smile came across Henry's face, but then he quickly turns to see a glowing object flying by. He turned to see none other than Suzie herself.
"Suzie! What are you doing here?"
"Lopmon! Oh Lopmon!"
Suzie goes running up towards Lopmon and picks her up. Henry takes notice of this and turns to look over at Terriermon.
"So, did you think that you really overdid? Like I always say, momentai. There's no turning back."
"Your right! There is no turning back! So, what do you say, buddy? How about we teach this turkey what we're really made of as a team!"
"Heh, you called him a turkey. You certainly got a sense of humor! That's good! I'm with you buddy! We'll do this as a team! I'm ready to get even with this turkey!"
"So am I!"
Just then, Henry's D-Ark shot out a green light, which Zhuqiaomon looked on in awe. The beam started to absorb both Terriermon and Henry as they got set for their next evolution.
Bio-Merge Evolution
[Digimon Tamers secone evolution theme "One Vision" plays]
"Bio-Emerge activate!"
Henry holds out his D-Ark and then presses it against his chest as he quickly transformed into a green light of data. Terriermon absorbed the essence of Henry's data and was ready to digivolve into his mega level form.
"Terriermon bio-emerge!"
Terriermon's body suddenly started to transform as his tiny, mammal-like body were replaced by a heavy load of green armor. Heavy, war arms now replaced his once tiny arms. His legs also became bigger in size. His faces quickly evolve from Terriermon to Galgomon, then into Rapidmon and then back to Terriermon again. Finally, his new head came into face, as it was dog-like with armor over his face. The new mega kicks into the air and then poses while shouting out his name.
"Mega Gargomon!"
As soon as the bright light faded away, the group looked on in awe as Mega Gargomon both stood in Terriermon's and Henry's place.
"Wow! That's just about the most awesome thing I've ever seen! He's huge!" Takato cries out, "I better get a reading on him."
Takato pulls out his D-Ark and quickly gets a reading over Mega Gargomon.
[Mega Gargomon. Mega Level. Special Attacks: Gargo Missiles. Mega Barrage.]
"He should be more than enough to take on Zhuqiaomon," said Sonja, "He's definitely got the edge. They might as well call him Giganto-Ten-Stories-Buildingmon."
"Finally, another mega on our side!" said Cyberleomon.
"Looks like we got three," said Jeri, "If only Rika were here to see this."
"Hey Henry! So what do you think?!"
"I must say! This is one heck of an evolution! But I'll get used to the whole bio-emerge thing. I'm not so used to other people's voices in my head."
"Momentai. You'll get used to it. So, are we ready to take this overgrown pigeon down?! I say we lay down the smack down on his candy ass!"
"Lets do this!"
"So, you two were able to merge into one being?! A digimon and human merging is the most despicable thing I have ever witnessed! You shall be another victim that falls under my flames!"
"Lets dance, turkey! Thanksgiving just came a little early this year!"
"As you wish! Phoenix Fire!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Ground Level
D-Reaper and King Devimon stand a distance away from each other as they stared each other down.
"Subject analyzed as King Devimon as a virus type. Congratulations. You shall be the first to be deleted."
"You wouldn't dare?!"
A breeze blows in between the two as Dark Magimon watches in anticipation. Faint breathing is the only life sign that Shintomon can provide. D-Reaper began to tap dance while stand on one foot. King Devimon gets into fighting position with a growl. D-Reaper began hopping towards King Devimon.
"You shall be deleted! Subject: King Devimon! Deleted!"
King Devimon gasped with a micture of shock and anger while Dark Magimon grins.
"Oh well. Now that D-Reaper has been resurrected, I have no use for King Devimon."
D-Reaper continues hopping as she starts to near King Devimon. The demon holds up his fists and grows angrier. He goes flying right towards D-Reaper and attacks her with a flurry of punches and kicks. He delivers a kick that sends D-Reaper sailing back into the sky. He quickly appears behind D-Reaper and kicks her down leaving an imprint of his foot in her face. He then delivers a forearm smash to the monster, sending her crashing down into the ground. As soon as she crashes, the ground explodes with rocks and debris.
"No! D-Reaper!"
King Devimon lands a few feet away from Dark Magimon and a grin forms across his face.
"How do you like that, D-Reaper?!"
The dust dissipates, but then the rocks go shooting out as D-Reaper was quickly jumping up. D-Reaper rolls up into the sky and lands just a few yards away from King Devimon. The demon recoils, and begins to become frustrated. D-Reaper lifts her head up and grins over towards King Devimon. Dark Magimon began to laugh happily at the turn of events.
"I like it! I like it, D-Reaper"!
D-Reaper ignores him, and simply dances around instead. She stops humming and then goes hopping towards the demon. King Devimon looks on while clenching his fists tightly. He slowly lifts himself into the air as a red aura surrounded him.
"Huh?!"
"Whoa, shit! His ki is getting bigger!" War Angemon said.
King Devimon suddenly stops and holds his hand out while grinning.
"This should be able to cool you off!"
Dark Magimon screams and goes hiding behind a rock, as he realized that the next move was considered one of King Devimon's most powerful attacks. King Devimon gathers as much ki as he shoots out a barrage of powerful ki blasts and watches them shower down over the D-Reaper. Cries were heard as the blasts fired down repeatedly and causing huge craters to form into the ground.
The explosion grows more and more as more energy was fed into it. Dark Magimon watches with a worried look on his face. He gasps, turns away from King Devimon and to the explosion. Finally, King Devimon ceases his attack and a dust cloud replaces the explosion. He drops back down to the ground while panting and was standing a few yards away from Magimon.
"Now matter how strong D-Reaper is, your monster must be dead now."
"I can't be-believe this! That can't happen to D-Reaper!"
King Devimon simply looks over at the crying Magimon and a chuckle was heard from him. Dark Magimon takes offense to this and turns to face him.
"Stop your laughing! Or I'll make you pay!"
"King Devimon! Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete!"
King Devimon turns back around to the dust cloud and gasps in complete shock.
"What?! No!"
"Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete!"
As soon as the dust dissipated, D-Reaper comes back into view, while still hopping on her feet towards King Devimon. Dark Magimon was laughing maniacally at what he was seeing.
"Yes! That's what I was expecting of my father's D-Reaper! Ha! Kill him, D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper continues her chanting as King Devimon charges forward and spits out towards her. D-Reaper effortlessly dodges by doing some backwards handsprings.
"Subject: King Devimon! You are terminated!"
With that said, D-Reaper aims at King Devimon and scores a direct hit with a fiery, red beam. King Devimon screams out as he gets trapped within the red ki beam. Dark Magimon watches gleefully. War Angemon, who was looking on from behind the cliff, was gasping in shock. Slowly, the screaming of the demon fades away. He then quickly exploded into red lifeless data as D-Reaper quickly gathered it and uploaded the last remaining data. The King of the Devimons was no more. War Angemon and Rika watched stunned.
"That was amazing, D-Reaper! You are incredible!" exclaimed the evil sorcerer, "You did a great job, D-Reaper!"
War Angemon turns away from the battle. Rika took notice of him and carries Renamon up towards the top of the cliff.
"Hey you! You're TK and Patamon right?"
"Yeah. Did you just see that?!"
"I was up there close and personal! The D-Reaper easily deleted King Devimon with no effort!"
"Where's Kari?"
"I don't know. I saw her getting flown back by a beam from the D-Reaper. I was too light-headed to even remember."
"Hmmm. She can't be dead, because otherwise, I would have known. I hope she's alright."
"Yeah, me too."
Suddenly, the statues of both Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon faded away as they both returned to normal. The two digimon moved about and shook their heads.
"What just happened, Imperialdramon?"
"I don't know. Last time, we were turned to stone…"
"Hey look! I think I see TK and Rika, Imperialdramon. Lets go check out what they're seeing."
As soon as the two flew down, War Angemon and Rika turned around to face them with a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness you two are back," said Rika.
"How did we turn back to normal?" asked Dinobeemon.
"Well, let me tell you. King Devimon just got deleted and you two were able to return back to normal. In other words, once he kicked the bucket, you two were reverted back to normal."
"Right. It makes sense. His spell was worn off once that happened," said War Angemon.
"Right. But we weren't the ones that killed King Devimon. It was that thing down there," Rika said as she pointed down towards the battleground.
Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon laid onto opposite sides of the cliff as they looked down with Rika, holding onto Renamon, and War Angemon in the middle.
"Huh?! But where are Tai and the others?" asked Imperialdramon.
"Tai and Matt were off battling elsewhere. Kari was blasted into parts unknown, but Shintomon was able to save her. Shintomon is down. Goggle head left to fight with Beelzebumon. A lot has happened," Rika explained.
"And I just got here," said War Angemon, "The others are still looking for Calumon. Takato is with the other group."
Rika smiled at what War Angemon had just said.
"As long as Takato is fine, I'll be happy."
"Ah! Who's that weird thing standing with Dark Magimon?" asked Dinobeemon, "I-Is that D-Reaper?!"
"I think so," replied Imperialdramon.
"Thi-This isn't funny! That scary ki belongs to that thing, doesn't it?!"
D-Reaper smiles as she finished uploading the last of King Devimon's data into her assimilated body.
"That's it, D-Reaper! Now go upload Shintomon's data!"
D-Reaper looks over at him while Dark Magimon giggles. Shintomon can do little more than make faint breathing noises. Imperialdramon was surprised at what he was seeing.
"That's Shintomon!"
Imperialdramon goes to stand up, but Dinobeemon stops him at his tracks.
"Hey! Stop it, Davis! What do you think you can do?! You're going to have to hold yourself! I know how you feel, but there's nothing you can do to help him now! You'll only get yourself killed!"
"Plus, D-Reaper wasn't hurt when it got impaled by a spear and it turned around to deleted him," said Rika.
Dinobeemon looks back towards Rika with a surprised look on his face. Imperialdramon refrains himself to watching Shintomon getting deleted and uploaded by D-Reaper
D-Reaper's shadow loams over Shintomon as she began to laugh. Dark Magimon also laughs excitedly as he watches on. Suddenly, an enormous explosion rocks the entire area. Dark Magimon spins around in surprise.
"What?!"
A strong wind and a bright explosion began to expand outwards. The whole group from the mountain watch in shock.
"What the hell was that?" asked Dinobeemon.
Imperialdramon and War Angemon watch on in astonishment. Dark Magimon fights the wind, but the force of it eventually throws her back. Shintomon groans as the wind and debris push against him. D-Reaper stares out angrily over at the source. The bright light of the ki attack fades into an orange explosion, which is then engulfed in thick smoke. Dark Magimon climbs back on his knees and began screaming out from where the explosion had come from.
"My ship! What the hell just happened to my ship?!"
Suddenly, little scraps of the former ship were starting to litter the ground around where they were standing.
"This is impossible! Damn it! How could have this happened?! D-Reaper, do you know who could have done this?!"
D-Reaper smiles, but doesn't respond. She looks away from the sky, slowly lowering her head to the ground level.
"Is someone there?" asked Dark Magimon.
Just then, Metalla X's shadow appears in the smoke. He emerges and lands a few feet away from the explosion.
"Its you!" Dark Magimon exclaimed angrily.
"Heh. Yes."
"Hey! It's Matt!" War Angemon called out.
"Huh?! Matt! He's here?! Wow what a surprise," said Rika, "He sure made quite an entrance."
"He's always been like that," said Dinobeemon.
Imperialdramon watches on in stunned silence.
Dark Magimon still sported wide eyes and a look of shock.
"Yamato, what are you doing here?!"
Metalla X doesn't respond. Shintomon manages to choke out a few words.
"Yam-ato… No…"
Dark Magimon's look of surprise quickly turns into that of anger and rage.
"How dare you do that to my ship!"
"Yeah, it was a little flashy, but it did provide me with a shortcut to you."
"Damn you, Yamato! Why did you have to destroy my ship?! You're the first person I've ever met that wouldn't follow my orders!"
A grin forms across the face of Metalla X as he turns to face the D-Reaper.
"So, is that ugly school girl there, D-Reaper?!"
His grin fades into that into a self-confident smirk and then into a look of anger.
"I'm going to make you pay for killing Kari!"
War Angemon gasped in utter horror at what his brother had just said. His eyes were widening and his fists were clenching. Imperialdramon takes notice of this.
"Hey? What did your brother just say, TK?"
War Angemon doesn't respond and several tears were coming down his face. Rika realized this by the look on his face and looks down in shame.
"I can't believe that she's gone! She's gone,"TK said to himself. "Its my fault! I should have been there with her. I don't deserve to live for letting this happen to her."
"TK! What is it?" asked Dinobeemon.
"Hikari…"
Now War Angemon's shock and sadness was quickly replaced with that by sheer rage and anger.
D-Reaper takes a step forward and looks down over at Dark Magimon.
"Ugly? What does he mean, ugly?"
"Huh? It means he thinks that you're scary enough to frighten small children and he doesn't like you!"
D-Reaper turns back around to face Metalla X, and then cocks her head fore ward. Metalla X's grin returns as D-Reaper's vanishes. D-Reaper suddenly becomes very angry and spreads her legs. Her entire body starts to glow.
"Hey! D-Reaper…"
But just as Dark Magimon said that, he steps away and falls back. D-Reaper growls and a bunch of steam come shooting out from her head.
"I think its going to meltdown," said Metalla X.
The steam finally stops, but then D-Reaper manages to wave her fists into the air.
"He made me mad! I'm gonna kill him! Subject: Metalla X. You shall be deleted!"
Dark Magimon stands again and then turns back towards Metalla X.
"Damn you, Yamato! Kill him, D-Reaper! He's rebelled against me and I don't need him anymore!"
D-Reaper smirks as her eyes began to glow purple and a bright red aura glowing around her body.
"Hey! That monster's ki just shot all up the way," said Dinobeemon, "I can't believe him…"
"Go get her, Matt! Make that damn thing pay for killing Kari! Make sure that it doesn't go unpunished," exclaimed War Angemon.
"Matt… Finish that thing off. It deserves to go to hell for killing Kari," said Imperialdramon.
Rika watched on and was looking towards D-Reaper with eyes full of hate and anger. She held onto Renamon with dear life and held up her fists.

"He's ready to fight the D-Reaper. Brace yourself," X stated.
Keke nodded her head, but held her hands across her chest. She felt her heart beat faster than it ever has. She was excited to know that her father would repent for his sins and become something that he has never become: a hero.
"Father… You can do it… The many worlds rest on your shoulders, alone…"
**************************************************************************************
Metalla X glares over at D-Reaper, but the monster smiles right back at him. D-Reaper holds up her hands to both sides of her head. Meanwhile, Dark Magimon starts running away, but eventually stops to catch his breath. He turns around after taking a quick breather and cups his hands around his mouth
"Kill him! Kill Yamato, D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper grins over at Metalla X, but the fusion warrior glares over to her with a serious look. Suddenly, Metalla X begins to mentally replace D-Reaper with Omega X.
"Tai, I've always wanted to replace you. You bastard. I wanted to be the leader of the original Digi-Destined.
The imaginary Omega X began to charge up his ki in front of Metalla X as he began to think back to the past.
"It all started with the first adventures. You tried to talk me out of fighting, which was something I always wanted to do to you. I strived to be even better than you. But you always seem to finds a way to surpass me."
Omega X goes flying around on in the dark dimension as he watches Burizalor getting sliced in half.
"You were able to defeat the tyrant known as Burizalor, which was something I thought I was destined to accomplish. I thought I would have been the one to receive the legendary digital fusion powers. But I was wrong… But this time, I'm going to take care of the problem."
Celesta X watches in shock as War Angemon smiled, while teleporting and glaring at the bloated second form Virus. Celesta X takes a step forward and screams. All the other Digi-Destined and digimon undergo similar reactions of shock. Seven years later, Tai lies unconscious, miles away as the two digital worlds are now in threat.
"Even my own brother was able to perform an act of bravery, much like Tai did. But now, that time has come for me. Have a nice nap, Tai. When you wake up, everything will be over and I'll probably be dead."
With that said, Metalla X grunts and yells as he charges up his ki.
"I'm not going to Hell alone! You'll be my honor guard!" exclaimed Metalla X.
Shintomon was able to overhear everything that he had just said.
"No! Yamato doesn't plan on surviving!"
[Super Sayian Vegeta's english background theme plays]
Metalla X screams and the ground around him trembles. A shockwave flies out from him. Plenty of more shockwaves came about. He directs the brunt of his power-up towards D-Reaper. The winds and shockwaves jiggle D-Reaper's partially slimy body, but otherwise were still unaffected. Dark Magimon was forced to shield his eyes from the dust and growls to himself. He finally removes his hands and looks up to see Metalla X, gasping.
Clouds of dust are then pushed out from Metalla X in the center as he raises his ki. He quickly takes a fighting pose and electricity flickers through his aura. D-Reaper is pushed back a few feet, his feet digging trails through the dirt. He hunches to better set himself against the wind. As Metalla X's power-up continues, rocks begin to lift out of the ground and hover around him.
"My brother is incredible," said War Angemon.
"Metalla X might still be able to win after all," Dinobeemon replied.
"How did he get so much power?" pondered Imperialdramon.
Metalla X screams and began directing rocks over towards the D-Reaper. The boulders pile up around him as he continues to be pelted with other debris that was picked up by Metalla X's focused power-up. The boulders don't stay for long as D-Reaper explodes them into tiny fragments.
Metalla X quickly leaps forward, screaming. He connects with D-Reaper's face. D-Reaper falls back, and Metalla X stops himself a few feet further, then spins around and comes back for another. He goes into a flurry of hits and kicks on D-Reaper, and then stops to deliver stronger, slower hits. There was a punch to the gut, a kick to the face, and then another punch to the face. As D-Reaper is thrown back by the last hit, Metalla X grabs 'her' arm and spins himself inward, kicking D-Reaper hard in the face. D-Reaper bounces back through the dirt as Dark Magimon watches, worried.
"Impossible! D-Reaper! D-Reaper!"
"Way to go, Matt! Get him, big brother," exclaimed War Angemon, "Kill it! Kill it! Avenge Kari!"
The others smile as they watched the battle in anticipation.
D-Reaper stands and the imprints left from the punches and kicks fade away. D-Reaper and Metalla X stand separated by several yards for a few moments, then Metalla X lunges forward again for round two, pulling his fist back.

"FATHER!"
X clenched his fists tightly. He watched the battle unfold and hoped for the warrior to defeat the new enemy.
"Just what are you really up to, Matt? Are you really going to repent for the sins you've committed?"
Now its up to Metalla X to stop the D-Reaper! With Tai out and Kari possibly killed, its all up to Matt to save the two worlds from D-Reaper's rampage of destruction! Can he actually become what he always desired to become, a hero?! Plus, can the newly evolved Mega Gargomon stop Zhuqiaomon before he can destroy the other Tamers?

[Preview]
War Angemon: Matt?
Imperialdramon: He's going to save the digital worlds?
Metalla X: D-Reaper. This is it. I will repent for everything I've committed. I'm not sorry for what I've done, but I'm going to make sure you don't even come near our world. You don't belong to this plane of existence.
D-Reaper: Subject Metalla X shall be deleted…
Keke: Father!
X: No! You can't!
Metalla X: TK. I want you to take good care of Mimi, my son and everyone else… Tai. We weren't able to finish our battle. We'll finish it once you pass on into the afterlife. Farewell my friend. This one's for everyone…
D-Reaper: Huh?!
Metalla X: If I die, then you're coming with me, D-REAPER!

The Warrior's Decision! Yamato's Atonement!
Digital World. Former Site of Magimon's Ship
Smoke rises out of a nearby, newly made crater. Wind starts to blow across the desolent landscape. A huge battle was occurring between both D-Reaper and Metalla X.
Rob Zombie "Never Gonna Stop me" plays
Metalla X rushes forward himself and when he nears D-Reaper, he pulls back his right arm and delivers a strong punch to D-Reaper's face. He follows up with another one with his left arm, then a kick with his left leg to the back of the head. D-Reaper falls face down on the ground and slides through the dirt, her back bending and her feet hanging up over her head. Her lower half falls back to the ground with a loud crash. Dark Magimon looks on with shock.
"Wh-What's going on! What are you doing to my D-Reaper!"
Metalla X lands a few feet away from D-Reaper, who still hasn't moved. A little bit of dust drifts out from all directions around D-Reaper.
"A-Amazing! Metalla X is incredibly strong!" said Dinobeemon.
War Angemon simply looks with a slight grin on his face and throws his fist into the air.
"Way to go, Matt! That's the way! Get it some more!"
Imperialdramon was a little less enthusiastic about the prospect of the now super-powered Metalla X. He clenches his fists as he glares down at the battlefield.
"Even he… Even Metalla X has managed to surpass the limits of a fusion warrior!"
D-Reaper staggers back up on her feet. She looks up to see Metalla X already attacking again, before D-Reaper has even had a chance to rid herself of the impact marks from Metalla X's previous assault. With a shout, Metalla X kicks her hard in the head and her face is basically caved in from the force of the kick. D-Reaper starts to fall back when Metalla X elbows him hard in the face. D-Reaper falls with her head planted in the dirt and her feet sticking up from above him almost completely vertical. Metalla X slides backwards as he lands in a crouching position, pulling his hand back through the dirt. He uses that position to launch himself forward again and buries his knee in D-Reaper's stomach. D-Reaper rolls head over heels backward and Metalla X races forward once again, not letting up for a second.
While watching the fight, Imperialdramon was taking a quick observation of Metalla X's new speed and strength. He was surprised at this turn of events.
"He's stronger than before. He's at least as strong as Celesta X was against Virus, and probably stronger."
While he was talking to himself, Metalla X starts appearing at various spots around D-Reaper, always with barrages of punches aimed at the head, and from different angles at a time. There was a punch to the face, a knee to the gut, a kick to the face, and so forth.
"But even Celesta X was defeated by D-Reaper. We don't know what's happened to Tai. Metalla X is the only one who has a chance fighting against D-Reaper."
Metalla X delivers a strong punch with his left arm to D-Reaper that lifts D-Reaper off the ground.
"It's not just the two digital worlds but even our own world! You can't fail us now! The three worlds all depend on you, Matt!"
Metalla X goes rushing forward again, this time attacking with such speed that not even the naked eye can see the individual hits. There is rather a faint blur and a new dent in D-Reaper appears. There are four of those in various spots and D-Reaper stumbles backward. Metalla X's first skims over the ground. He pulls it up and into D-Reaper's face, still leaving a trail through D-Reaper's chin.
D-Reaper is quickly launched into the sky. Metalla X watches for a moment and quickly phases out. D-Reaper bursts through a layer of clouds and Metalla X emerges right besides her, rising higher and glaring down at D-Reaper. Metalla X pulls back both fists back over his head, cupping one hand around the other, and brings them down together for a hard impact on D-Reaper's face. Once again, the hit itself is just a blur, and there's a new dent in D-Reaper's face. D-Reaper plummets to the ground.
Metalla X appears behind his head, pulls back and throws a strong kick. As the kick is thrown, there was an impact that sent out shockwaves around two dots in the very far distance. The two dots descend within the ground and a loud crash was heard as a result.
Dark Magimon's eyes widen and he's completely stunned beyond belief.
"D-Reaper! There's no way my D-Reaper can lose!"
Just then, dust rises from D-Reaper's crater and there are several rocks falling down into the deep pit.
Imperialdramon watches in complete silence just as Rika was.
"Awesome!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
War Angemon was basically smiling while holding up a fist in sheer delight.
"Matt did it! He did it! Looks like we've won! Not even D-Reaper stood a chance against my brother!"
Suddenly, a large rock goes falling down into the deep pit and the rock drops onto D-Reaper.
"So, did you guys see just how strong he was?" asked War Angemon.
"Yeah, incredible! He's the only one to make an actual hit on the D-Reaper so far," said Rika, "I hope that lasts much longer."
Suddenly, all is silent except for a small rock falling into the dark abyss of the crater. D-Reaper's arms sticks out of the rocks. She catches the falling rock and crushes it in her hand. Metalla X glares silently ahead as he waits for D-Reaper. Soon enough, a large boulder shatters and D-Reaper flips right of the hole. She lands right in front of Metalla X, still spotting the marks from Metalla X's hits. She puffs out her face and the marks disappear. Then she does for the stomach, legs and arms.
"Huh! What the hell?" Dinobeemon asked himself.
D-Reaper finishes clearing up all of the marks. Dark Magimon looks on laughing maniacally.
"Way to go, D-Reaper! Now it's your turn! Get Yamato!"
He points over towards Metalla X as he yells. D-Reaper begins to hop on foot, then on the other, yelling, just as he did before.
Metalla X takes a half-step back while clenching his fists tightly and holds up his right hand, palm out towards D-Reaper. D-Reaper stops hopping and bends over, smiling and looking from side to side. Electricity cracks through Metalla X's aura. He glares at D-Reaper from behind his outstretched right arm. The sky begins to darken, neither of them moves.
"Go get him, Matt!" exclaimed War Angemon.
Metalla X charges up his ki and his stronger aura throws up more dust around him against an increasingly dark sky. D-Reaper simply watches with a combination of both fear and confusion. Metalla X finally fires a single ki blast. D-Reaper's eyes go widen and screams when it hits. The blast tears a hole right in her midsection and continues on. D-Reaper flips backwards several times through the air before landing on her back and sliding back to a stop on his head. Dark Magimon gasps at what he was seeing. D-Reaper's feet stick up into the air once again, but this time there's a gaping hole in the middle of her body. She falls over and lands face first in the dirt.
Imperialdramon clenches his fists, throws his head back and howls excitedly.
"Yeah!"
"Oh yeah! He did it!" said War Angemon, "I told you that he could finish the job!"
Rika sighs a relief while watching War Angemon raising his fists into the air. Dinobeemon was just as excited and surprised.
"He did it. I can't believe it," he said.
"Incredible. Looks like the threat is over for good," replied Rika.
Smoke starts to rise out of D-Reaper's gaping hole while Metalla X's arm remains outstretched. After several more seconds, he lowers his arm and grins. Dark Magimon falls to his knees, while crying to himself so that everybody could hear.
"This can not be happening! Not to my D-Reaper! She was defeated too soon!"
On the ground, D-Reaper was lying motionless, still with the freshly gaped hole through her midsection. He lies motionless for a few moments, until that is her fists start to move about. She then clenches both fists.
War Angemon was the first to notice this as he ended his celebration abruptly and his hopes of finding Kari was too late.
"What the hell is going on here?" Rika asked.
Metalla X watches as D-Reaper slowly climbs back onto her feet with a huge hole cut cleanly through her stomach. Her eyes start to narrow in anger. She sticks out her stomach and the hole disappears. Her body was now healed after this course of action. She looks side to side, then to Metalla X and then straight up. Metalla X stares at him. D-Reaper looks back at Metalla X, smiling.
"That only hurt a little..."
"What are you! Immortal!"
While laughing to himself manically, Dark Magimon hops back and forth from one foot to the other, throwing his fists into the air.
"Way to go, D-Reaper! Kill him! Kill Yamato!"
Just then, D-Reaper hunches over with a deep breath and crosses his arms at about the waist in front of his chest. Metalla X watches him silently. D-Reaper groans and the dark sky began to transform into a faint red and pink as a result of D-Reaper's glowing aura that was forming.
Earth. West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel
Unknown to what was taking place in the Digital World, the remaining Digi-Destined were heading out to Izzy's hotel room. They had gotten lost form a short while, but received help from one of the employees working there. The digimon were well-fed, which meant that the Destined didn't need to feed them for a while.
"That food should at least keep us fill for a while," Biyomon said. "How's your stomach, Gomamon?"
"Ugh. Don't remind me. You call that crap food?"
"Well, at least we're not in the military. Just think, you have it good. They only get to eat a certain number of meals. How would you like it if you were to eat cornbread for days?"
"Joe. I can't see myself going through with routine. It sucks. How do you know all this stuff?"
"I read about it, plus I looked it up online…"
"Figures. Anybody can just post made-up crap," Gomamon stated.
"It wasn't fake crap! I read it from a book…"
Suddenly, Mimi felt a sharp pain in her chest. It wasn't the food coming back to give her heart burn, but it had a more emotional vibe to it. She feared that something was taking place in the Digital World and it most likely involved Matt. Yolei took notice of her state of shock and pats Mimi on the shoulder.
"Mimi? Are you okay?"
"I felt something piercing my heart."
"It's heart burn, isn't it? I knew that food was shit!"
"No. I can't describe it, but I think something is happening in the Digital World. I feel as if Matt were fighting this powerful force alone."
"Matt?" Sora asked. "You think so? You know, I've been having this same feeling for Tai. We're connected to them. That's why we can feel their emotion."
"Yes. Matt is fighting a powerful force. I don't know what to make of it…"
"Mimi? What powerful force are you saying?" Palmon asked. "Don't forget that Matt and Tai are our two lead guys. They can take care of themselves…"
"I know, but I just can't stop to realize that Matt is in pain…"
"Mimi…"
"Is he really going to repent for every sin he's committed? Yamato, are you willing to fight this force alone? You're not alone. We're right behind you."
Zhuqiaomon's Lair
The fiery sovereign of the south watches was the newly evolved Mega Gargomon was standing right before him. What angered the sovereign other than humans was humans and digimon merging together in battle.
"One Vision" plays
"I can not allow this abomination to continue! Shall put an end to this!"
The area within the lair started to shake and the rooftop was crumbling. Mega Gargomon makes his first attack.
"Come on! You want a piece of us! Bring it on!"
"Indeed I will! Phoenix Fire!"
Mega Gargomon watches on but was able to maneuver away from the fiery blast. He then goes to attack Zhuqiaomon with several martial arts moves. He delivers a front kick, then two side kicks and then a spinning back wheel kick. Zhuqiaomon cried out and was about to whip out another set of attacks.
"Take this you ignorant, human! I am the sovereign! I shall not be defeated! Double Helix Flame!"
Zhuqiaomon spreads out his wings and several fireballs come shooting out Mega Gargomon watches the fireballs trail by and delivers kick to dissipate each of them. This caught Zhuqiaomon by surprise.
"If you done already, I do believe that it's our time! Take this! Burst Shot!"
The newly fused bio-merged mega started firing away at the godly-powered digimon with a barrage of blast shots. Never has the sovereign been rattled by such power before but now was feeling its effects.
"And to top it off! We got a little present for you! Gargo Missile!"
The mega unleashes two missiles that came shooting from each cannon head on top of his shoulders. Zhuqiamon watched as the missiles were coming by, plus they were smiling. They were able to successfully knock Zhuqiaomon down as his fiery aura faded away.
"Heh and you call us pathetic? We did it Henry!"
"Thank goodness…"
"Momentai…"
The Tamers and the others, who had escaped out of the lair, were watching on from the edge of a cliff. Another hole was cracking on the ground and it swallowed away Zhuqiaomon as a result. Mega Gargomon floats back down and looks over towards the others.
"So how did we do?"
"Yeah! We just beat him! We did it!" said Takato.
"Way to go!" Jeri exclaimed.
"Hmmm, but we still didn't get any information concerning Calumon. Aw well, I guess that will make Zhuqiaomon learn about underestimating the power of the humans," Buddamon said.
Mega Gargomon landed right back as they quickly de-evolved back into Terriermon and Henry.
"We were quite an awesome team there, Terriermon! That blast really did him in," said Henry.
"You bet! I was so looking forward to shutting that turkey's mouth! But we really didn't get what we wanted. No answer concerning Calumon."
"Well, we have ourselves a mission to continue. Calumon has to be around here somewhere," stated Buddamon.
"Wow! This is incredible! I saw TK and Patamon fuse into a super being. Is that the digital fusion that they speak of? Now I just witnessed the same happen for Terriermon and his Tamer,"Lopmon said to herself. "If that's possible and after what Mega Gargomon just did, then these fusion warriors as the most powerful beings. They could even overpower the Sovereign."
Suddenly, there was a deep laughter heard as a fiery blast came shooting out of the hole. Terriermon and Henry both looked on with horror as Zhuqiamon was flying out without a single scratch on him.
"Ha! Ha! Is that the best you maggots got?"
"No! How is he still kicking," Takato asked frantically
"Don't you realize it by now! I'm a sovereign! You're futile efforts were useless! Now prepare to meet you fate!"
The group could only look on with sheer shock and anger running through their face. Henry and Terriermon were visibly the most upset at the fact that not even their mega fusion form, Mega Gargomon, was able to put him away. It was now going to take something drastic to put the mighty Zhuqiaomon.
Digital World. Former Site of Magimon's Ship
Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays
D-Reaper remains in the same position, but quickly takes on a spherical red aura. A very low cloud of dust is thrown up around the aura. Metalla X does nothing as D-Reaper was glaring at him.
"Subject: Metalla X shall be deleted..."
A strong wind begins to blow. Rather than just a red aura, a purple light flickers all around D-Reaper and waves of red-purple light flow out around her. The dust cloud begins to pick up and Metalla X assumes a defensive stance. The group on the cliff watches on as D-Reaper powers up whatever she's got coming.
"What is it trying to do," Rika asked.
The others could only look on with fear, but don't say anything. There were waves of light given off by D-Reaper flies right past them.
"What are you trying to do?" Dark Magimon asked frantically.
D-Reaper opens her eyes, once again glaring over at Metalla X.
"You are to be deleted…"
Then from an outer space angle of the digital world, there were waves of light washing over an entire area on the digital world. The center from which they're all coming from began to glow brightly into a white-yellowish color. While further away, it faded to a dark pink and then into black.
Metalla X looks on gasping. The entire area starts to go dark. D-Reaper throws up her hands and her head back.
"I HATE YOU!"
Dark Magimon throws up his arms defensively and magically forms a barrier around him, similar to Taomon's own shield.
"Barrier!"
"Run and duck for cover guys!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
The bright light shines on them from the direction of D-Reaper. Metalla X crosses his arms in front of his face, watching her. The dome of purple light flickers and begins expanding as an odd humming sound starts to pick up. Around the dome of light is a circle area, and beyond that, darkness. The dome continues expanding and then explodes in a blinding flash. Metalla X screams and is thrown back. Rocks start to quickly disintegrate. Dark Magimon yells as the explosion hits the barrier. There was an enormous beam of light flows from the dimensional plane field and into its outer far most space. It slowly began to fade away into a single bright point at the very center. Lighting around the digital world began to return to normal.
Soon, daylight was returning back over the battlefield. Large dust clouds were starting to move over a massive hole. D-Reaper was hovering in the air above the newly formed crater with her arms and legs stretched out. A yellow ball hovers by him and lands nearby. Inside of the ball was none other than Dark Magimon.
"Whew, that was to close for comfort, D-Reaper."
Imperialdramon quickly rises to his feet, sighing and looks out for everyone else.
"Is everyone alright!"
Dinobeemon throws a boulder off of himself and sighs as well.
"That was too dangerous. Where is everybody else?"
War Angemon pushes away another boulder and slides out. Rika comes crawling out of a small rock cavern with Renamon at her side. War Angemon goes landing right near Imperialdramon. Rika was watching over the injured Renamon.
"Renamon, are you still there? Speak to me…"
The neon-colored yellow fox responds with a little smirk across her face. This was certainly a good sigh and Rika was now convinced that Renamon was still alive and simply just resting after enduring a very harsh battle.
"Shintomon!" Imperialdramon calls out.
His voice manages to echo throughout the entire landscape, while War Angemon stares out over towards the crater with a shocked look.
"Matt! No!"
Metalla X sits up from the ground, while his hand was supporting him. Blood runs down his arm. His eyes were now beginning to move about while looking right up at D-Reaper. He climbs to his feet and takes a few steps forward, his right hand clutching his left arm.
"Damn, damn it! Not only is it strong, but it looks like its immortal too! Damn it!"
Dark Magimon watches on while chuckling within the ball.
"He thinks he's so tough, but not as tough as you are D-Reaper. If he hadn't rebelled against me, he would have made a good slave. That's too damn bad."
Dark Magimon deactivates his barrier and goes floating towards D-Reaper.
"No! Matt! You can't go dying on us!" exclaimed War Angemon.
Imperialdramon and the others could only look on with sudden shocks on their faces.
"I don't think even Metalla X will be able to defeat D-Reaper now! Kari is dead and even the watcher of the digital worlds, Shintomon is out. What's going to happen now?
"No! Not Matt! Matt isn't going to lose to that thing! There's no way!"
Imperialdramon glares in frustration down over to the battlefield.
D-Reaper lands several yards away from Metalla X. They glare over at each other.
"Subject analyzed: Metalla X. The fusion form of Yamato "Matt" Ishida and the digimon named Gabumon. You two are now to be deleted."
"What can I do! How can I defeat this monster!"
The Central Digiverse The Grand Digital Planet
Keke looks on through the viewing orb to witness the tides turning against Metalla X. She anticipated for the moment that he would recover from his cripping injury.
"He's not going to last much longer, X. It's only a matter of time before he dies…"
"Don't give up on him, Kek. He's your father. Don't forget that."
"Yeah, but it seems hopeless. Matt can't recover from a crippling injury like that. D-Reaper is going to delete him."
"Keke…"
"Father! Please, don't die!"
The girl's cries were enough to echo throughout the planet. X knew the time was soon about to come into realization. It was time for Matt to make his ultimate decision. He was to die with shame or die with honor. There was no other way around these two options. Matt will need to use any method necessary to destroy the D-Reaper.
Digital World. Former Site of Magimon's Ship
D-Reaper points out right over to Metalla X, as a blood mass appear in her hands. Metalla X growls angrily while clutching his injured arm. She then begins to stretch the ooze out.
"What a disgusting creature! What the hell does it think its doing!"
D-Reaper drops the strand with one hand and holds it up with his right hand.
"Don't mess with me!" exclaimed Metalla X.
D-Reaper begins running forward, while holding the hanging piece of slime. She suddenly stop and spits out a ki blast at Metalla X. Metalla X manages to phase right out of the way. D-Reaper begins running again and starts shooting out more ki blasts in quick succession while spinning the piece of slime. Metalla X dodges ki blast after ki blast. He smirks.
"Ha. I don't even have to open my eyes to avoid attacks like that! That was pathetic!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper opens her mouth and Metalla X gasps at what was coming out. Instead of a single ki-blast, an enormous ki blast erupts from the monster's mouth and as it flies forward, Metalla X phases out. It then explodes in a pink dome of light as Metalla X flies away. D-Reaper jumps back and then lobbed the piece of ooze at Metalla X. He gasps as it wraps tightly around his body as if it were a constrictor about to squeeze the life out of its prey. Metalla X drops out of the sky and plummets right down to the ground.
D-Reaper lands a few feet away, where Metalla X had landed. D-Reaper began to him to herself in triumph.
War Angemon could only gasp in shock at what had just happened and couldn't take it anymore. He wasn't just going to stand back and let his own brother about to get killed.
"No! This is bad," exclaimed Rika.
D-Reaper walks up over towards the fallen and tightly-wrapped Metalla X with a smile across her face. She jumps over him with his arms and legs out, then turns around and kicks Metalla X away. Metalla X goes flying back several yards and crashes into the ground.
Metalla X began to cough out a ton of blood after those impact hits. D-Reaper drops out of the sky and sits on top of him, causing tremors into the ground and bones breaking within Metalla X's body.
Imperialdramon clenches his fists, while the others growled under their breath. War Angemon was unable to contain his anger and was willing ready to go out to save his brother at any time.
"He'll be killed!" exclaimed Dinobeemon, "Where are Kari and Tai! Are they already dead!"
"No, Kari would never die that easily!" exclaimed War Angemon.
War Angemon was glaring over at D-Reaper, and Imperialdramon quickly took notice of this.
"TK! Don't you even think about it, buddy! Control yourself! If you attack, you'll just throw your own life away. All you'll do is result in your brother more suffering."
As he speaks, D-Reaper was now starting to pummel Metalla X away with a flurry of punches.
Suddenly, War Angemon screams and rushes out to go help his brother and stop the torture. Imperialdramon tried to stop him, but War Angemon already was way ahead.
"Hang on, Matt! Don't go dying on me! I can't lose you or Kari on the same day!"
Dark Magimon watches gleefully while D-Reapers continues beating up upon Metalla X. War Angemon charges forward with his fist outstretched as Metalla X coughs up more blood.
Metallica "Unforgiven" plays
War Angemon goes racing out towards his own brother, who was desperate of needing help at the most unfortunate time.
"TK! No!" Imperialdramon calls out, "No! Damn it!"
"Let him go!" said Dinobeemon, "That's his brother out there! I'd do the same thing if my brother were still around!"
"You're right."
"This is incredible! The two brothers are able to merge with their digimon? Wow, I wonder when Renamon and myself would ever merge. I doubt it though. All the others probably have something special about them that do not make me qualify for it. Oh well."
Dark Magimon looks on laughing as his father's creation was beating the living crap out of Metalla X. War Angemon screams as he charges forward, flying right past the evil sorcerer.
"What the hell was that! I thought I just saw a metallic angel fly right pass me!"
D-Reaper was now stomping away at a helpless, Metalla X. The fusion warrior grunts with each tremendous hit. D-Reaper suddenly looks up to the sound of a scream and sees War Angemon's foot nearing her face. War Angemon connects and sends D-Reaper sailing several hundred yards away through tons of rock formations nearby. War Angemon lands as he watches D-Reaper fly.
"Matt!"
War Angemon picks up one end of the ooze and pulls it right off of Metalla X and began to roll it away. As soon as he finished rolling the slime away, Metalla X was set free and was in pretty bad shape, with shallow breathing.
Dark Magimon watches the whole scene from a good distance away with an angry look on his face.
"Who was that! It's another one of those fusion idiots! I really didn't know there were more of them. Oh well, it really doesn't matter how many of them there are. They'll all end up the same way."
Back on the battlefield, Metalla X was finally freed from the constricting grip of the ooze. War Angemon kneels down at his brother's side with a horrified look on his face.
"Matt! Are you alright!"
Metalla X was unable to answer since he was just about nearly unconscious.
"Hang in there, Matt!"
War Angemon starts shaking around Metalla X's side, but he stops and watches as Metalla X was able to move his mouth.
"I know that you're not dead! You wouldn't even die from an attack like that!"
Tears start to well up in War Angemon's eyes as he began to speak again.
"You're my brother! Your second strongest to Omega X and you wouldn't let yourself be defeated by that stupid monster! It killed Kari and I loved her with my heart! I should have been there for her. But I can't lose you too! You're my brother and we're been through the adventures thick and thin!"
Metalla X managed to make a few faint labored breathing sounds and slowly opens his eyes. War Angemon gasps and leans over his brother.
"Matt! You're alright! Man, I though I was going to lose you!"
Metalla X turns his head and looks right over towards his own younger brother.
"T…T…TK?"
His open eyes came back into full focus and he looks up to see the smiling face of his own brother. He laughs, relieved. Metalla X sits up, trembling with pain. He holds his right hand up to his head and pushes War Angemon aside.
"What happened to the D-Reaper! Where is it!"
"Shit! So he's still alive!" Dark Magimon cursed. "It would have been a lot easier for him just to die the way he was. What an idiot. My D-Reaper has no equal. Now he can suffer with that damn angel!"
Dark Magimon closes his eyes laughing but then he hears a voice coming up from behind him. It was a rather anonymous voice to be exact.
"D-Reaper will pay for what it's done, but it's mostly your fault."
Dark Magimon's eyes shot out with surprise at the first sound of Imperialdramon's voice. He turns to look at Fighter Mode standing right behind him.
"Target Akai Shougeki" plays
"Huh? So it's you! You still look bad. Ha, you think just because you're as tall as a skyscraper, you can match up with my power and beat me? Ha! I am Dark Magimon! Sorcerer of darkness!"
"I've always been this tall and what I'm about to do to you, you won't even live to regret! I plan on squishing your fragile ass under my feet. You're nothing but a sack of shit, who deserves to be put out of commission."
"Wh-What did you just say! You're a quite fine position to even anger me! Alright, I'll ask D-Reaper to kill you in the most painful way possible!"
"Too bad, I can't allow you to use D-Reaper anymore."
"What? I wish you idiots would just shut up already!
"Even if I can't do anything about D-Reaper, I can still kill you."
Dark Magimon's eyes widen as he turns away. Imperialdramon pulls back his arm and was ready to attack. The sorcerer throws up his arms defensively as a barrier formed around him.
"Barrier!"
Imperialdrmaon's hand bounces off the ball of yellow light and he looks back up, with a surprised look.
"Ha! I'm not completely helpless! PARAPATA!"
As soon as the sorcerer said that, he throws his hands out and something shoots out at Imperialdramon. He's now covered by a purple material with occasional electricity running through his body. Fighter Mode's body begins to bulk up as a result and parts of his body become discolored. Dark Magimon simply laughs. Imperialdramon glares at him, then throws his fists up and pulls them back down as he rapidly charges up his ki. The material disappears and Imperialdramon returns to normal. The sorcerer's laughs quickly end as Imperialdramon gives him a death glare. Dark Magimon tries fleeing away, in search for D-reaper.
"D-Reaper! D-Reaper! Where are you! Kill this thing!"
Imperialdramon calmly hovers right behind him and his feet hit the ground. Dark Magimon fearfully looks back at him and throws out his barrier once again.
"Ha! Do you really think you can kill me!"
Imperialdramon responds by screaming and driving his fist right into the barrier. The sorcerer gasps, while Imperialdramon pushes energy into the barrier and causes the barrier's energy to channel out through Imperialdramon's arm.
"You fool! If you kill me now, you'll never be able to seal away D-Reaper!"
Imperialdramon ignores him and begins to make progress as the barrier gives a few inches. Imperialdramon concentrates on the barrier as Dark Magimon continues to plead.
"If you kill me, D-Reaper will keep destroying until nothing is left! Do you want that to happen!"
"That would happen even if you didn't die! Am I wrong?"
In a bright flash of green light after firing his Positron Laser, the barrier explodes. Dark Magimon stumbles back, screaming. He leaps into the air and Imperialdramon appears behind him. The sorcerer spins around, crying out in fear. The dragon warrior was prepared to deliver the final blow to the annoying sorcerer.
"Goodbye."
With that said, Imperialdramon pulls back his hand and uses the end of his claws to slice right through Dark Magimon, abruptly cutting him in half. Blood flows out from Magimon's mouth as he was cut into pieces. Imperialdramon glares at him as Magimon's pieces of clothing began littering the ground.
"I can't believe it! I was destined to become king of the multi digiverses!"
But then, Dark Magimon falls into several pieces, but the three main ones are his lower body, upper body and his left arm. As soon as he hit the bottom of the crater, Imperialdramon glares down with a look of no remorse.
Elsewhere, D-Reaper sits up from under a pile of rocks. He sighs, shakes her head and throws up her arms, which causes all of the rocks around him to be lifted into the air. The dust clears to reveal no rocks around the now-standing D-Reaper.
"Who did that! Who did that to me!"
Imperialdramon looks calmly over towards D-Reaper. Metalla X stares off into the sky, and towards the hovering mega. Without even making eye contact with TK, Metalla X begins to speak.
"TK. I want you to take good care of Mimi and my son, do you hear me?"
War Angemon looks over towards him with a look of concern and confusion.
"Huh?"
Metalla X looks away from the sky off towards D-Reaper. A grin forms across his face. War Angemon was very confused and did not understand why his brother was saying this.
The Central Digiverse The Grand Digital Planet
"Keke. I think it would be best for…"
"No. I understand that my father's fate has come. I'm not going to turn away and cry anymore. If my father is willing to do this, then I'll stand by this decision. I may hate it, but I will respect him. He's my father after all."
"Okay, then. Matt. Thanks for everything."
The two turned towards the viewing orb to witness perhaps what will be considered one of the most heart-breaking moments to ever take place.
Digital World. Former Site of Magimon's Ship
Elsewhere, both Tai and Kari were both laid out with their respective digimon at their sides. This was a sign that they were already taken out of commission.
"Why did you just say that? Where are you going? Why do you want me to take care of Mimi and Dimitri?"
"You should get away from here as soon as possible, TK."
War Angemon was shocked by hearing this and looks over to see that Metalla X wasn't even making eye contact with him.
"I want to fight D-Reaper myself."
War Angemon was caught by surprise by what his brother had just said and gasped.
"You're not serious! Let me fight with you, Matt! With us brothers united, we can bring down this enemy. If you fight by yourself, its going to kill you. If we attack together, we can defeat it."
"Its no good. No matter how many of us attack it, we'll lose if we fight normally."
"But if we attack together, we can beat him! This isn't like you, Matt. Why are you acting so weak? You always have been able to act important in the past. Why not now?"
"TK. I never really treated you like a real baby brother. I barely even noticed you and always tried to a really be a good elder brother."
After a long pause, Metalla X turns to face War Angemon and extends his hand out.
"Let us give each other a brotherly hug."
War Angemon shrinks back in surprise. Metalla X slowly walks up towards him and embraces his younger brother.
"Matt? What are you doing, Matt? Are you serious? Stop it, you're embarrassing me."
Metalla X remains silent, simply staring down at his younger brother. Everyone remains still for a few moments, with the others simply watching as the two brothers embrace for the first time in many, many years. Finally, a smile comes across the face of Metalla X.
"Take care of yourself, Takeru. And take over after me."
War Angemon looks right up at him in shock, but then Metalla X pulls back his right hand and delivers a chop to the back of War Angemon's head that delivered an echoing sound throughout the landscape. War Angemon grunts and falls over, as he de-evolved back into TK and Patamon.
Imperialdramon simply watches the whole scene from the skies above and lands a few feet away from Metalla X. Metalla X watches as Imperialdramon approaches. He stops and they stare each other down. Just as Imperialdramon was about to say something, they both turned as they felt a tremendous ki level heading their way. D-Reaper was walking forward to the group with a evil smirk on her face. She steps several yards away from the group.
"Who's the one that hit me!"
"Take these two and get as far away as you. Go now, Imperialdramon."
Metalla X walks away as Imperialdramon scoops up both TK and Patamon in his hand. He turns back around to face Metalla X.
"I'm counting on you, Davis."
Imperialdramon stands up, looks back around over his shoulder and then fully turns around.
"You're planning to die, aren't you?"
(Creed "My Sacrifice" plays)
Metalla X doesn't respond for a few seconds, and they stand in silence as D-Reaper once again began walking towards them. Metalla X finally breaks up the silence.
"Just tell me one thing. After I die, will I be able to meet Kari and Tai, if those two happen to die also?"
Dinobeemon goes flying over as he answers the question for Metalla X.
"There's no point in trying to cheer you up now, so I'll be honest," said Dinobeemon, "According to what X has told me, you won't be able to."
Metalla X's eyes twitch at what he had just said, but he says nothing to the matter. After another pause, Dinobeemon continues on.
"I asked the same question about my brother, Sam. His soul was separated. His good was sent eternal peace, while his darker side was sent to limbo. That's right, that dark side was sent to hell. On the other hand, you're in a different position. You're hurt too many digimon just today at the arena after hearing what Rika told me. According to what X said to me, after you die a second time as a digital being, your body will fade away and your spirit will be taken into a different world than the digital world. You'll most possibly be sent to limbo."
D-Reaper continues walking over to them while humming to herself.
"Your digital self shall be cleansed there, you will lose your memories, and you will be placed into a new body. Your human outer shell will be completely erased forever."
Metalla X simply smiles and closes his eyes as if he had heard enough.
"I see. That's not so bad… So be it…"
D-Reaper continues her march over towards the group.
"That's enough for now. You can go. Hurry up."
Dinobeemon goes flying off into the distance, along with Imperialdramon following his trail, while holding onto both TK and Patamon along the way. D-Reaper takes notice of this and points out towards them.
"Subject analyzed as Imperialdramon! Target to be dele-"
"Wait, D-Reaper!"
She looks right over towards Metalla X with a look of surprise.
"You'll have to stop them after you defeat and delete me!"
Metalla X holds up his fists towards his chest and a smile comes across his face.
"Do you understand, you ugly piece of crap!"
D-Reaper hunches forward and tons of steam comes right out of her head and her eyes were glowing a dark, purple color with a loud humming noise with it.
"You're saying bad things again! You shall be deleted!"
Metalla X grins and D-Reaper shoots out more steam to reveal her true anger, then stops and does it a little more.
"You've got such a big mouth for such a simple creature. I shall enjoy uploading your data after I delete you."
Rika watches from the cliff as Imperialdramon races by. Dinobeemon goes flying down as Rika places Renamon on his back and goes along and jumps on the ultimate-level insect's back.
"We have to get away from here, Ken! Now! Let's go," Imperialdramon exclaimed.
"Right! I just got Rika and Renamon! We're off!"
They both take white auras as they both flew off away into the far off distance.
D-Reaper stakes a step forward and goes to confront Metalla X.
"You will die already, Metalla X…"
Metalla X's grin grew even wider as the creature shoot out more steam from her head.
"Now you shall be the second to be deleted."
"I've finally figured out a way to beat you."
"Huh?"
Metalla X holds out his fist and charges up his ki. Immediately, the sky goes dark.
Dinobeemon takes note of this while they were flying off in the skies.
"H-hey what's Matt doing! Doesn't he know that he will get killed, right!"
"He's facing certain suicide here! He can't win!" exclaimed Rika.
"This is the first time that he has ever fought for someone else. He's given up his own life," Imperialdramon said.
Back on the battlefield, a healthy metallic blue aura flows around Metalla X, throwing up dust all around him and causing some boulders to crumble. D-Reaper looks over with a sadistic smirk coming across her face.
"Hm. What shall I do with you? Delete you the fast ands less painful way? Or the slow and very painful way? It's your choice. You will be deleted no matter what you choose."
"Ha! You're a fool. I'm going to blow you up into so many little pieces that you'll never be able to regenerate!"
Just then, D-Reaper's eyes widened in shock while looking down at her hands and then back to Metalla X. A grin forms across the fusion warrior's face.
"TK… Mimi… Dimitri. Digi-Destined. Tamers. Farewell. This one's for you. Tai, this one's for you.."
("My Sacrifice" ends)
Metalla X quickly looks away as D-Reaper gasps in shock at what was now about to transpire. Metalla X activates his self-destruction mechanism as he hunches over, groans for a moment as he prepares himself, then throws his head back, screaming. A massive dome of golden light expands out from within him, throwing up dust and debris. His scream fades away as the explosion continues to expand even more. Clouds quickly part away as D-Reaper screams while getting hit by the incredible amount of ki. Metalla X continues screaming and gets engulfed by the massive force of light.
The Central Digiverse The Grand Digital Planet
"FATHER!"
"Matt, you've actually done it…"
The Digital World. Former Site of Dark Magimon's Ship
Imperialdramon, Rika and Dinobeemon all watch in awed shock from a very far distance. The explosion has expanded out so far that they were able to see it from that very far distance.
"Oh no! Matt!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
The explosion continues to expand even further while the screams of Metalla X were still being heard.
"YAMATO!"
Imperialdramon is speechless, as he watches the entire explosion continue out.
Metalla X lets out his final screams while the light quickly engulfs him and the D-Reaper within, preventing them both from ever coming back. Metalla X has now sealed his own fate. Matt has sealed his own fate. Yamato Ishida has sealed his own fate.
"In the end, the great warrior died in the great pillar of light. The name of this warrior was Metalla X, Yamato "matt" Ishida. The Digi-Destined of Friendship."

Imperialdramon: He's gone… He truly is gone. This is unbelievable.
Azulongmon: Stop this senseless violence, Zhuqiaomon! You need to put you're animosity against the humans for this time being. I sensed that a warrior has fallen and failed to defeat the true enemy…
Takato: Matt? He's gone!
Imperialdramon: No! It can't be! The D-Reaper is still alive! Matt's sacrifice was in vain!
Mimi: What is this feeling I'm having? Why do I feel so frozen?
Izzy: You guys. I was able to get a transmission from Shibumi while I was researching more information on this new digital world. Now, allow me to introduce to you… Shibumi via transmission…
Tai: What's happened? You guys need to fill me in on everything that's happened.
Rika: Next time on Digimon Tamers Fusion, episode twenty-four!

Terriermon: Don't you miss it!
Max: Man, that was intense. If you're a Matt fan, then you probably would have enjoyed that just for the sake of Matt sacrificing himself to ensure the survival of his friends and families. In a way, this ends the first portion of the Tamers saga. So you can count this as a Season One to the Tamers Saga. There's not going to be any closing statements. Except this: Peace everyone and be sure to check out the Zero Two fic!

Metalla X threw his head back screaming within the bright beam of light. He hovered at the center of his still-expanding ki explosion. D-Reaper screams as she continues to get disintegrated. Memories started flashing back through Matt's mind as his body started breaking down.
Flashback
A boy with spiked blonde hair is seen walking over towards another blonde boy. The little one looks up at his older boy with tears in his eyes. The older brother simply smiled and put a band-aid over the boy's scraped knee.
"Don't worry. It's all better now, Takeru."
"Yamato. Thanks. You're the greatest brother I've ever had."
"Likewise. I'll always be there for you…"
Next, that small boy grew up and eventually became the bearer of friendship. His partner was Gabumon and he developed a rivalry with the one named Taichi. Matt turns around and pushes Tai after an argument during their search for the other Digi-Destined on File Island.
"What's your problem, Matt?!"
"Who do you think you are? You think you can push me around?"
"What is eating you? You worry so damn much! We'll find TK!"
"That's besides the point. He's my younger brother and I promised to look out after him!"
"He has Patamon! Don't you forget that!"
Overtime, Matt has felt that he has been receiving the end of the whipping stick. His bitterness towards Tai grew and eventually led him to depart from the group after saving Earth from Myotismon. From there, he was recruited by Burizalor to be his next protégé. Matt's reason for joining Burizalor was to gain more power and return to defeat Tai. That was his main objective.
Then, the showdown between the rivals took place in the Digital World. For nearly a year in the Digital World, Tai was preparing himself for the upcoming invader threat that was to come. Among these invaders were Etemon and Metal Garurumon. Matt returned to retrieve his brother and destroy Tai.
"Well, this makes it a fitting place to fall over and die," Matt said. "So, what's it going to be? Will you do the right thing and hand over my brother?"
"In your dreams, Matt! What has gotten into you? Why are you being such an ass and what's the point of joining with guys like Neo Devimon and Etemon?"
"I have a reason. I wanted to be leader of the Digi-Destined. I wanted to lead the team. However, you wouldn't allow me. Now TK looks up to you more than he does me."
"That's not true. He loves you as his big brother. I'm just a step brother to him, but you're his real brother."
"Quit trying to butter me up. I will take TK back from you. I won't allow you to corrupt his mind anymore."
"Dude, what are you on?!"
"I was given a chance and recruited. I wanted my digimon to become stronger than yours and he has given me that opportunity."
"Who is this 'he'? Who gave you this chance? Is he the one who recruited you?"
"Heh. You bet your damn dollar that he did. I am now given the chance to kill you and take my brother back. He's going to be a fine soldier."
"You're wrong. You're being deceived. Whoever recruited you is an idiot. He has no idea of your crest of friendship. That's who you are. You're the Digi-Destined of friendship."
"Ugh! Stop it with this crap! Enough! How could a low life like you understand? I was chosen to be the top elite and I have pretty much lived up to that reputation. Now, I just let you speak your mind."
Unfortunately, Tai's War Greymon was simply stronger than Matt could comprehend. The battle resulted in a draw after Angemon struck Metal Garurumon down. Matt's dreams of defeating Tai were shattered by his own brother. Matt was defeated by TK. This was a totally unexpected twist to a yearlong showdown.
"How could I have done this?"
"It's over, Matt. You put up a valiant effort. We've been through hell today, but no thanks to you. We lost four digimon friends. We beat your idiotic comrade and your own brother defeated you. Accept it. He has a stronger heart than you ever will. His love for you helped Angemon overcome your hate. Your hate allowed Metal Garurumon to gain so much power, yet that power was too much for him to handle. Angemon helped purify that. All the evil ki from Gabumon is gone. It's over. You've faced defeat, but you can't just cry over spilled milk. Be a man, Matt. Or have your forgotten all about that?"
Since then, Matt healed his wounds and vowed to gain the four digital cores. He would then use them to power Metal Garurumon to new height of power. His chances were shattered when Burizalor took the digital cores. The cores were traded back and forth like a game of ping-pong. Eventually, the Digi-Destined used them to revive their deceased comrades.
"Ha. Oh Yamato. Your digimon is so naive. You two would have been the greatest servants. You would have led my army to conquer your world. Why do you choose to remain on the side of these Digi-Destined weaklings?"
"Because there's something I have that you don't have. I have friends and I will do anything to protect them, my brother and humankind. Its monsters like you that disgust me. I can't believe I served you. I'm not that type. We'll fight you to the end."
After hearing the tale of the legendary fusion warrior, Matt felt destined to merge with Metal Garurumon to become that legendary warrior. Unfortunately, he was slain at the hands of Burizalor. That legendary status was reserved for Tai. Matt gave Tai a heart-felt speech to motivate the Digi-Destined of Courage.
"I was… Ugh… I was such a fool. I tried to be a good leader… Gah… Just like you but I wasn't able to succeed. Metal… Metal Garurumon and… I tried our best to hold him off…" Matt managed to speak despite suffering convulsions.
"And you did your best. You are a proud member of the Digi-Destined. You did the right thing. You know, I always thought you were just some egomaniac looking to take my spot by force, but you really proved to be a true leader during my absence."
"No… Tai. I failed… I don't deserve the crest of friendship as you can see. I'm dying… I underestimated Burizalor's power… "
"We didn't expect this creep to have this large amount of power either but he showed it to us and now its time we put him in his place."
"TK thinks… I'm a bad brother… Sora hates me…"
"Don't say that, dude. Man, I don't know why you're being so negative. Look, you did me a favor. And you did yourself a favor. TK is proud to have you as your brother. You and Metal Garurumon protected him. You protected Sora."
"Yes, but… Joe… and… Izzy are down… Chuumon is gone… This is all because of my irresponsibility."
"Its not your fault. As you can see, they're fine and recovering. I can't say the same for Chuumon. So why don't you get all that negativity out of your system and fight the pain. Maybe the last amount of power of your crest should help."
"No it's wasted just like myself… Just look at Burizalor, Tai. Look at him… He enjoys inflicting pain. He loves seeing others suffer… He thrives on killing. He's proud of it, Tai… You and War Greymon are our only hopes… You two must defeat Burizalor before he takes over both worlds…"
"Matt…"
Omega X was born and he defeated Burizalor in a titanic clash.
After being resurrected by the digital cores, Matt vowed to become a fusion warrior. That time finally came when the artificials arrived. Metalla X was the third fusion warrior after Tai and Dimitri.
"Now there is more than one way to reach this awesome status of power. You all really want to know how I became this way? Well it is pretty simple really. You see, my motivation was much different from Tai and Agumon's. My desire is to be the best and hell of a lot better than Tai. That was my true goal ever since we first went into the Digital World. But it required a large amount of training and perseverance."
With his new powers, Metalla X fought many worthy adversaries. Those opponents included Elfmon, Sonja, Virus, and now D-Reaper. Even though Sonja and Virus had humiliated him, he knew that death approached him in his confrontation with the D-Reaper. However, it was his long-awaited battle with Omega X that pushed him over the edge. This was the fight he had long anticipated ever since their first confrontation.
He sold his soul to gain a major power boost from Dark Magimon's magic. Metalla X's dark side had returned and he vowed to slay Omega X.
"Tell me, Matt. You went to your own way to be charmed by Dark Magimon just so that you would have a reason to fight me. Am I wrong?"
"If I hadn't, we would have never fought. We don't have much time to stay here and this would be the perfect time to settle our differences. Lets face it! All of Magimon's cronies have been nothing but wastes. And this D-Reaper is nothing more than a waste. Once the others find Calumon and I have beaten you, then we can all move on with our lives."
"So that's it?! That's your stupid reason to be charmed by darkness?"
Despite being a watcher over the Digital Worlds, Shintomon had absolutely no idea about Matt's long grudge with Tai.
"STUPID REASON?! That's everything to me! I don't care at all about D-Reaper! Tai has gotten stronger than me! Even though we both are been able to fuse with our digimon, he surpassed me! I was to have that power many years ago and become leader of the Digi-Destined! He's even saved my life and I can't forgive that! Absolutely not! What's wrong, clown?! Are you humiliated? Is that it?! Fool! You don't know what humiliation is! "Its not enough! This isn't enough to take revenge against you! You have taken my possible chance of leadership of the Digi-Destined. I was to be the one to lead the group, but you got in the way! Ever since we first entered the Digital World, I've always wanted to get rid of you. I can't forgive myself for being surpassed by the likes of you! Not only that, but you even saved my own life!"
However, his mind was opened up by Omega X. Matt had come to realize that his fight was with the D-Reaper.
You allowed yourself to be possessed by Dark Magimon."
"Yeah. I saw how much power it had given to such digimon such as Makuramon. His kind is normally weak but we were given a boost of power to make himself stronger once he got possessed. And I allowed myself to be possessed, so that our equal power would quickly be different. Now the difference between us has disappeared."
"You needed to get stronger that you even ignored your pride enough to be possessed by him."
"I… I… I wanted to be something that I always wanted to be… I wanted to fight you as a cold-hearted, single-minded digital warrior with no worry about how I would affect other people! I hated myself. It's all because of you and everybody else that influenced me to become peaceful! I grouped a band in order to tour across the world; I grew love for Mimi and had a son. I even started to appreciate everyone else, including my own brother, TK. I was no longer the jerk I once was. I'm no longer that bad boy that always craved for the spotlight. So I had to be possessed by Dark Magimon to in order to release the darkness within my heart. And because of that, I feel pretty damn good."
"Is that really true, Matt? Is that what you were thinking this whole time?"
It looks as though he never really had the chance to settle the score with his long-time rival. He never even enjoyed life. He did have the chance to develop a relationship with Mimi and they had a son named Dimitri. Their Dimitri would soon grow up to become a resourceful person. Matt will never get to see the chance to see his boy grow. He never got the chance to get to know the girl named Keke better. Instead, he faces eternal limbo. He will have to wait until Tai passes on into the afterlife.
"TK… Mimi… Dimitri. Digi-Destined. Tamers. Farewell. This one's for you. Tai, this one's for you…"
Flashback
Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon were both reeling while carrying Rika, Renamon, TK and Patamon. Dinobeemon shouts out. He turns back to watch after reaching a very far, safe distance from the explosion. The sky was now littered by tons of falling debris. The two digimon watched in awe, helpless to do anything.
"Matt…" Dinobeemon muttered.
Suddenly, the blast begins expanding more quickly. Imperialdramon closes his eyes to the debris while calling out to Metalla X.
"Matt!"
Imperialdramon starts to fly back towards the explosion but then Dinobeemon stops him just in time.
"Davis! We're too late! Hes already dead! Didn't you say it yourself?" Rika said, "He's finally sacrificing himself his life to fight for something other than himself?"
"Well that was me, but that's correct," said Dinobeemon, "Don't go back there, Davis. We have to regroup."
Imperialdramon watches the explosion in frustration and help nesses as he couldn't even refrain himself from leaving. He did not even attempt to reply to them.

The Central Digiverse. The Grand Digital Planet
Keke feel to her knees as she watched her father perish in the blinding flash of light. The central planet was rumbling even from this great after shock. Keke could feel the last of Metalla X's ki fade into nothing.
"Father… You threw your own life away to save others… How noble of you."
"He did it. I can't believe he actually did it," X replied. "He died a warrior's death. I'm sorry, Keke."
"It's okay. I understand. My father would want it this way. I can't change his decision. I'm glad I was able to see him destroy the D-Reaper."
"I just hope everyone else will be aware of this turn of events. They're going to be stunned. We'll see how everything plays out from here."
Keke wiped away her tears and stood up. Her strong showed true courage and strength to destroy the D-Reaper. Keke shared that same desire. A smile grew across her face. She was now happy, yet sad.
"The Digital World is safe..."
"Or is it?" X thought.
****************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
The group looked on as Zhuqiaomon was looming up from the horizon with an angry look across his face. He couldn't believe that was nearly beaten by a mere mega. But now this was his chance to retaliate for that humiliation.
""So, do you maggots got any last words, before I annihilate you?!"
"You won't take us down that easily! We're here to find Calumon! You're just forcing us to fight you!" exclaimed Buddamon.
"This battle is pointless. We should be helping the others with the D-Reaper as we speak!" said Takato.
"Ha! That's besides the point! You can't defeat me and I will not allow you to go unpunished for destroying my castle! You trespassers have dug yourselves your own grave!"
With that said, Zhuqiaomon flapped out his winds and sends out a powerful wind over at the group that was able to knock them all off of their feet. Sonja quickly gets to her feet and forms a barrier shield around over the group. She then hovers herself and the force shield over towards the falling Tamers and digimon. They were all then brought inside and were safely inside the forces shield.
"You guys alright?" she asked.
"We're fine. That was too close for comfort," said Henry.
"If only we could bio-merge again and we give him a little rematch," replied Terriermon.
"Takato, so what now?"
"I don't know boy. I don't think we'll have enough energy to take him on since you digivolved twice in a short period of time."
"We can't give up. We are not to allow Zhuqiaomon to overtake us," said Buddamon, "We are here to get some questions answered! If only Shintomon had come with us, he has no problems trying to talk sense into this stubborn bird."
"So, I'm a stubborn bird, huh?! Well, I'm damn proud of it! Thank you for the compliment, Buddamon. But that does not mean I will take pity on you. You trespassed without my permission and I shall punish you for it!"
The fiery phoenix bird goes flying over towards the barrier shield, in order to knock it away. But Sonja managed to maneuver it away from the guardian's on-head charge. Zhuqiaomon goes chasing right after the shield, but Sonja was no longer able to move it around with ease.
"What's wrong, Sonja?" asked Leomon.
"I don't think I'll be able to hold this shield for that long. I've never had to use it over a long period of time. It will only sap away my strength."
"What are we going to do now, Leomon?" Jeri asked.
Leomon looks on while clenching his fists angrily.
"I don't know, Jeri. Even at my true maximum, I don't think even I have enough power to defeat Zhuqiaomon. He seems to have more power than the Zhuqiaomon of the other digital world.
Suddenly, Guilmon and Terriermon looked over at each other and nodded their heads. They both went running out through the shield.
"Guilmon! What are you doing?!" exclaimed Takato.
"Terriermon! Don't!"
The two rookies flew out as they began to unleash their attacks over towards the monstrous, fiery mega.
"Pyro Sphere!"
"Terrier Tornado!"
The two attacks were not able to make a dent on Zhuqiaomon, let alone catch his attention. But he was still angered by their relentless attack.
"Damn you! I shall kill you for even attempting to attack me! Take this!"
Zhuqiamon goes flying over and knocks both rookies away with his mere fiery aura. Henry and Takato cried out in horror as they saw their digimon falling down into the water below.
"Guilmon!"
"Terriermon!"
The two rookies screamed as they fell into a lake down below. Soon, they emerged and were swimming over towards land to catch their breath.
"Just because of those foolish attempts, I will rid myself of these weaklings! Say goodbye to your slaves! Where they are about to go, you are going to join them!"
"Don't do it, Zhuqiaomon!" exclaimed Takato, "Please, don't do it!"
"Too late! You should have thought about that much sooner! Phoenix Flame!"
With that said, the fiery mega shoots out a blazing roar of fire down over towards the two emerging rookies. They looked on in horror, as the fire was about to approach them.
"Oh no! They're not going to make it," exclaimed Lopmon, "No one can survive an attack this intense, but a mega."
"But they're no megas! We're about to lose them!" exclaimed Buddamon, "And my powers are pretty much limited without Shintomon around."
"No! It can't end like this!" exclaimed Takato, "Please don't do it!"
Suddenly, the skies quickly transformed from a bright red to a dark blue as clouds were starting to come together with bolts of lightning roaring down. A long chain-like structure come flying out with bolts of electricity running through its aura.
"Lightning Whip!"
[Anoymous god-like music plays]
The whip comes out and stops the fiery blaze of Zhuqiamon, which caught the southern sovereign completely by surprise.
"What is this?! Who dares interfere and come into my domain?!"
"Seize your attack, Zhuqiaomon!" the voice thunders out.
Just then, the whole group looked up to see what appeared to be a long, bodied dragon flying in the skies with chains and orbs surrounding his body. His head was gigantic with a long horn on its forehead.
Kazu, Guardromon and Kenta were looking on from the entranceway of the former castle site. They were look on with complete awe at what they were seeing.
"Whoa! That's like the biggest thing that I have ever seen," exclaimed Kazu, "That's so totally cool! I just wonder if he's on our side."
"Well, I'm speechless," said Kenta, "Wow…"
Takato takes out his D-Ark and quickly gets a hologram image of the monstrous dragon.
[Azulongmon. Mega-level. Sovereign of the East.]
"He's a sovereign too," said Takato, "And of the eastern region."
"Just like in our world," said Leomon, "But it seems that the sovereigns in this world have a lot more power."
"Yes. This is the Azulongmon of this digital world. He should be able to sort out this problem," replied Buddamon
The group looked on in awe as the two godly digimon were facing face other head-to-head in the sky.
"Azulongmon! This does not concern you! How dare you enter my domain without my permission! Now go and let me sort out this problem myself!"
Zhuqiaomon fires another one of his blazing fires over towards the other sovereign, but Azulongmon was able to phase it out with the aura on his body. Stormy clouds now began to surround the two godly digimon in the skies. They kept attacking back and forth, sending out forces that caused the ground to crumble. They were hitting one another with their attacks through the skies and sending out energy blasts down at the water.
The others were unraveled by their attacks, and they were more powerful than any of the fusion fighters thus far. No one was able to compare them in power.
Sonja's shield was floating in the skies and came across the two sovereigns.
"You are making a mistake, Zhuqiaomon!"
"You interfered in my realm and I shall eject you from it! I don't care if you are one of the other three sovereigns! It the human's fault that caused me to erupt with all this anger! How can you stand seeing digimon taking humans are their partners? The mere sight of that sickens me deeply. They destroyed my Devas!
"Yes, but the majority of them were taken away and controlled by Dark Magimon. He basically was betraying you this whole time. But, you let your anger blind you so much that you even forgot about that agreement you made with him."
"That deal Dark Magimon and I made is no business of yours! We made a deal to not interfere with each other's plans."
"So, that is why you let him take your Devas? Because of that, he has sent them out to gather enough energy to release the "True Enemy"."
"What?! That's preposterous! I would never allow myself to stoop to Magimon's level! How do you even know that he was going to unleash the "True Enemy"?! Face the facts, the last Supreme guardian was able to defeat Magimon's father after the "True Enemy" was sealed away!"
"Lopmon? Who is this true whatever? Why are they talking so much?" asked Suzie.
"I don't know for sure…"
"I have a feeling that it's the D-Reaper," said Buddamon, "Yes. It's obvious! Zhuiqaomon made a mistake for allowing himself to make a deal with that imp. Now because of that, Magimon was able to enslave the Devas and bring forth the energy needed to resurrect the D-Reaper!"
"So, Azulongmon has seen enough and is going to put an stop to this," said Lopmon.
The group all turned back to continue to listen to the two sovereign's conversation.
"After we made the deal, I searched long and hard for the source that would enable to help the digimon to digivolve and to get stronger to help me combat this "True Enemy", if it were to be unleashed."
"Some digimon thought that digivolving would able to release the "True Enemy". That is why digimon have unable to digivolve, because we can't allow a flow of energy to be used for Magimon to gather, so he could unleash the "True Enemy"."
"You had no reason to turn the catalyst of digivolution into the form of a digimon! Now, I can't find it! Its your own damn fault!"
"I did not commit such an action, but I agreed that it had to be done, since it would be much harder for Magimon to snare it. We can't allow him to use the catalyst, since he would easily have released the "True Enemy" and create an army so great that even us sovereigns would not stand a chance."
"Lopmon? Is the catalyst they speak of Calumon?" asked Henry.
"Yes," he replied, "Calumon is the actual source to digivolution. He was taken in the form of a digimon so that Magimon would not find and get his hands on him."
"Whew and for good reason too," said Takato, "Or else we would have a hard time with some really nasty digimon."
"As you can see Zhuqiaomon, humans and digimon demonstrated something that you considered revolting. They were able to merge together and create a powerful being that was enough to stand up against the true enemy. Some of which have never evolved here before. I felt the presence of a merged fighter that was taking on the true enemy and fought until the very end."
"I wonder who he is talking about? Who would have fought the D-Reaper while we were away," pondered Jeri.
Leomon looked up to the skies as if he had felt a fading energy. He could easily sense the loss of a fused fighter right about now and he easily traced it as coming from Metalla X. In fact, Azulongmon was mentioning Metalla X.
"Matt?! He's gone! He just did an honorable act and fought for somebody else other than himself. And he paid the price for it."
"Leomon? What's wrong? Why are you so down?" asked Jeri.
Leomon paid no attention and continued to stare up into the skies with a shocked expression on his face. The others all gathered around him with questionable looks on their faces.
"So you see, Zhuqiamon. Working with the humans will enable us to defeat the true enemy. We can't apart ourselves from them or even destroy them."
"How dare you even mention such abomination! I don't care who's life was lost against the true enemy!"
Zhuiqaomon looks down towards the waters and saw Guilmon crawling onto shore. He goes and fires a fiery blaze over at the red dinosaur rookie.
"Guilmon! Watch out!"
Guilmon looks up and gasped in horror as the fiery blaze was nearing towards him.
"No, Zhuqiaomon! I'll make you understand," exclaimed Takato, "Humans and digimon can work together! You should see the variety of fusion warriors on our side. They will prove you wrong. And we most certainly will prove you wrong!"
With that said, the goggle boy goes jumping out of the force shield. The others gasped and went over to try to grab him, but they were too late.
"Takato! No!" Henry exclaimed.
"Takato," Jeri cried out, "If Rika is dead, and we can't afford to lose you too!"
Takato pulls out his D-Ark and was now flying right past the flaming blaze of Zhuqiamon's attack. Guilmon looked up to see a bright glow, which was coming from Takato's D-Ark.
"Takatomon!"
"Guilmon!"
Just then, they both glowed a bright aura and they were now ready to merge with one another. Zhuqiamon was caught by surprise.
"What's this?!"
"Now, we'll see."
Bio Merge Evolution
[Digimon Tamers second evolution theme "One Vision" plays]
"Bio-merge activate!"
Takato held up his D-Ark and quickly transforms into a red light of data. Guilmon absorbed the essence of Takato's data and began his evolution to the mega level.
"Guilmon bio-merge!"
Guilmon's body suddenly started to transform as his reptilian body was replaced by a heavy load of knight armor. His long, clawed limbs were now human arms and his feet became human. Then his face evolved from Guilmon then into Growlmon, then to War Growlmon and finally that of a knight's helmet with two golden eyes glowing through it. The knight flies through with a majestic, red cape on his back, a shield on one hand and a joust on the other. The mega then shouts out his name.
"Gallantmon!"
The sovereigns watched on in awe as they were looking upon Gallantmon for the first time ever. The knight goes and returns Zhuqiaomon an intensified glare.
***************************************************************************************
Former Site of Dark Magimon's ship
Now there was a rather shallow but an incredibly wide crater that scarred across the Digital World. Lightning strikes around it as a roar of thunder filled the sky. Against the dark sky and cracks of lighting, a stone Metalla X hovers in the sky. His body was hunched over with his hands at his sides and his face with a rather painful expression on it. Suddenly, the statue began to fall and it explodes into flakes as it falls. A huge dust cloud formed after that. The entire area was still.
Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon remained in the sky, and were a good distance away from the now-silent battlefield. In place of the ki-explosion was a dark storm cloud.
"Metalla X's ki has completely vanished," said Imperialdramon.
Rika and Dinobeemon lowered their heads while suppressing sadness and anger.
"Ken. You take TK and Patamon along with you. I'll go see what happened," Imperialdramon said.
"I'll go with you!"
Imperialdramon doesn't respond, but after a few seconds, both Rika and Dinobeemon realized what he exactly might see.
"You're right," Rika said, "There's nothing we can do. Lets go."
Imperialdramon hands over Rika both TK and Patamon.
"Take care. But return back afterwards," said Dinobeemon, "I sense a great deal of energy over in the southern region. We're going to be heading out to meet up with the other group."
"I don't think we should keep quiet on this," said Rika, "We're going to have to tell Mimi about this eventually. She has a right to know."
"What do you want us to say when we get back home?" asked Dinobeemon.
"I don't know about Tai, but Kari… She was killed by D-Reaper…"
"Huh?! But that's not true, isn't it?" asked Rika.
"I heard Matt mention it."
"Same here. But how can we be sure," said Rika, "She still could be alive."
"I'm counting on you."
They both nodded as Dinobeemon powers up an aura and went racing off into the skies and towards the south region where the two sovereigns were facing each other head-to-head.
[Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays]
Imperialdramon looks down at the once great battlefield. He goes flying down and narrows his eyes while nearing the crater. Finally, he stops and surveys the damage.
"This is incredible!"
He looks down onto the ground and mentioned the name of the one who was responsible for this great, heroic sacrifice.
"Matt…"
After saying that, he walks through the new crater, looking around. He walks in complete silence for the moment. Then he eventually stops and focuses on what's directly in front of him, the D-Reaper. But it was D-Reaper in many, many tiny pieces.
"I see. If you only hurt D-Reaper a little, he'll regenerate. He blew D-Reaper up completely so that he wouldn't be able to do that. Matt sacrificed his own life. The first time I've ever seen him fight for anyone, he died. I hope he destroyed the D-Reaper. I'd hate to see this go to waste."
Imperialdramon lowers his head down while closing his eyes as if he were giving his final prayers and respects to the once great warrior of friendship, Yamato "Matt" Ishida.
"But it was a spectacular end to Matt's illustrious life. Your brother shall live on in honor of you. Rest in peace, my friend."
Suddenly, he hears a voice crying out. Imperialdramon's eyes shoot open with rage. He looks over and sees a small hole in the middle of the crater. He walks over towards it as the voice groans. In the much smaller hole, Dark Magimon's upper half was clenching his teeth.
"Damn… it…"
"Magimon. Ha. So you're still alive. You're pretty damn obnoxious for someone so weak. It looks like you protected yourself with a barrier."
Magimon lies in his hole with his eyes completely shut and he calls out a much terrifying name.
"D-Reaper!"
"I'm going to blow you up into pieces and watch you die. This ones for Matt!"
As soon as he took a step forward to make a move onto the evil sorcerer, a small chunk of D-Reaper began to move and glow with a dark purple color around it. The mega looks down to see two more pieces quivering.
"Huh?! What's this?!"
A low humming sound fills the area as all of the little chunks of the D-Reaper began moving about.
"The pieces of D-Reaper! Impossible!"
Imperialdramon watches in horror as separate D-Reapers began to develop from each piece. He watches in shock as each little D-Reaper all sprung up onto each other. They all hopped into each other over the top of the crater and they all converged. Imperialdramon was stunned beyond belief as a dark purple aura was glowing around the red blob-like mass hovering from above.
"Not possible! How can this be?!"
Now there were five fully developed D-Reapers floating from above. Imperialdramon backed away as the five D-Reapers landed a few yards away from him. The one in the center smirked as her eyes began to glow a dark red with purple outlines around it.
"Subject analyzed: Imperialdramon Fighter Mode."
The other four fly over towards her and they all form back into the one and only D-Reaper. Imperialdramon takes a few steps back. He watches D-Reaper taking shape with a terrified look on his face. He turns and begins running away, jumps into the air and rockets away from the crater. He did not want to get involved and get himself deleted.
"I can't believe it! D-Reaper is still alive?!"Davis exclaimed in Imperialdramon's head.
"We better tell this to the others!"
"Right. This is a nightmare that I wish would have ended right when Matt sacrificed his own life. I don't think even Omega X can defeat something like that!"
Once again completed, D-Reaper throws out her arms in all directions. She drops back on the ground and lands on her toes. A smirk comes across her face. She then turns to see Dark Magimon struggling to rise out of the small crater.
"D-Reaper!"
She goes walking over towards him.
"Were you waiting for me?"
The dark sorcerer smashes his fist onto the ground.
"No! You're wrong!"
D-Reaper then looks down at Magimon and noticed his lower body was missing.
"Where did your lower half go?"
"That doesn't matter! Hurry up, hurry up!"
A smile forms across the D-Reaper's face.
"I think I like you better this way."
"H-hey! Hurry up and fix me!"
"Fix you?"
"To normal. You should be able to! Hurry! Hurry and do it! I'll die if you don't fix me!"
"Well, that wouldn't make you anymore funny-looking…"
"What are you doing?! Do it already!"
"Oh, I guess I could…"
"Do you want to be sealed away again?!"
D-Reaper's smile disappears and stops her victory dance. She rubs the back of her head.
"Hurry up and do it!"
D-Reaper holds out her hand and places it over Dark Magimon. But instead of deleting him, a green barrier beam surrounded him and his missing body parts were now restored back to him. The sorcerer quickly climbs out of the hole.
"Thank you, D-Reaper! Thank you!"
D-Reaper stands there smiling and bows to Dark Magimon.
"But you still messed up by allowing them to hurt me."
Dark Magimon closes his eyes and clenches his fists tightly. Then he just had an idea as his eyes fluttered open.
"That group on that cliff will pay for this! We won't destroy the two Digital Worlds, but we shall give them pain. We'll teach them to fear Dark Magimon and D-Reaper! Ha! Ha!"
***************************************************************************************
The Central Digiverse. The Grand Digital Planet.
X and Keke were taken back by these turns of events. They couldn't believe that everything Matt had sacrificed was wasted. D-Reaper survived the explosion and was ready to begin its rampage.
"Shit! D-Reaper lived?! How can that be?! My dad wasted his efforts for nothing? He gave everything he had through his heart and soul! X! Did you know this was going to happen?"
"No."
"No? Oh, X. What are we going to do? We can't get involved in this because we agreed not to break the clause with the powers that be."
"I know. It's going to be up to the others. If Tai and Kari are gone, then TK and Davis will have to step up to the plate. Not to mention the Tamers. They're not ready for this sort of threat. If only I had remained as the fighter I once was. I could have defeated the D-Reaper myself!"
"X…"
"I'm sorry it had to come this. I really am…"
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere.
Dinobeemon continues his flight away from the crater. Then, Imperialdramon was starting to catch up towards him from the deep background. Dinobeemon quickly noticed him. He stops and looks back.
"Its Imperialdramon, but he's back this quickly?" asked Rika.
"I don't know. Something must have happened," Dinobeemon replied.
Imperialdramon stops a few feet away from Dinobeemon.
"This Digital World is too dangerous! We have to meet up with the other group over at the southern region! "
"Davis, what are you talking about? What happened to Matt? What happened to D-Reaper?"
Imperialdramon looks away towards from Dinobeemon and Rika.
"No, don't tell me…"
"D-Reaper is still alive, Rika."
"Impossible?! What about Matt?!"
"There was no trace of him."
"So, Matt's death was for nothing?!" asked Dinobeemon.
"We have to go meet up with the others at the southern region now!"
"Right," Rika replied.
Dinobeemon hands back both TK and Patamon over to Imperialdramon.
"We are the only hope left for the Digital World. The majority of the great fusion warriors are all but gone. But we might even have a slight chance," said Imperialdramon.
The two digimon looked over at each other. Rika then looks down to TK and Patamon.
"We still have at least one fusion warrior. Is TK really our last hope? Oh, Takato. I just hope you and others found Calumon right about now."
****************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain.
["The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Gallantmon goes flying up as he was able to shield away Zhuqiaomon's fire. The fiery sovereign was caught completely by surprise by his action.
""I must say. Maybe this merging is strong enough. I'm quite impressed."
Gallantmon goes all out as he points out his lance over at Zhuqiaomon and fires away another blast at him.
"But not good enough!"
Zhuqiaomon blocks out the blast with a single claw. They both began to fight fiercely as they went on to collide with one another. Zhuqiaomon flew fire over at Gallantmon and used his wings to blow the merged mega away.
"If you don't want to believe us, Zhuqiaomon! We'll make you understand our power!"
"Never!"
Gallantmon goes flying up with his joust intact and was now about to collide with Zhuqiaomon, who was swooping down over at the knight. Just then, Azulongmon shoots out another one of his chains in between them.
"Stop this nonsense! We should not be fighting each other! This battle if fruitless! We should be more worried about the true enemy. I sense that the true enemy is alive and well. The great warrior that tried to stop it has now been defeated. I do believe the name of this warrior is Metalla X..."
The entire group was caught completely by surprise by Azulongmon's stunning revelation. The Tamers were just as shocked as anyone.
"No! Not Matt! He's dead?" Gallantmon asked.
"Matt… He tried sacrificing himself to save us, but his death was in vain,"Takato said in Gallantmon's thoughts.
"Is this true, Leomon?" Jeri asked.
"Yes unfortunately. Matt did the honorable thing he could to destroy not only the D-Reaper but also himself to ensure the safety of the two digital worlds. But all in vain."
"No, it can't be!" Henry said.
The group was now beginning to mourn for the fallen Digi-Destined of friendship for attempting to kill off the true enemy with a move that would have also cost him his own life. It was a great sacrifice, but not enough to seal away the true enemy known as the D-Reaper.
"I sensed a great power from this Metalla X," said Lopmon, "When him and the true enemy fought. Nothing I've seen before. That's perfect proof on how strong humans and digimon can be once they merge into one being."
"That is true. That is what I've been trying to tell you, Zhuqiaomon. Whoever these fusion fighters are, they will make a great asset as far as defeating the D-Reaper. You have to at least put aside your differences towards the humans. We must work together and defeat the true enemy together."
Zhuqiaomon was floating as if he were thinking to himself. Then he looks towards the eastern sovereign with perhaps a nod of approval.
"Maybe… just for this once… but only this once…"
"Then we shall plan out our move against the true enemy. Humans and digimon alike must band together, to ensure the safety of our own respective realms."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
D-Reaper passes through the clouds while flying through. Dark Magimon was riding on his back while leading the creature through. They were now approaching a nearby digimon city.
"We're going to change the two Digital Worlds into Hell, D-Reaper! Until they show up, we'll kill digimon here, there and everywhere! Ha! Ha!"
***************************************************************************************
Former site of Dark Magimon's ship
In a rocky area, a shadow descends over it. Behind the rocks, Shintomon staggers out from behind the rock wall, bloody and beaten.
"Kari… be alive… Please be alive…"
He slowly stumbles towards a nearby forest in the distance where Kari and Gatomon were laying perhaps either unconscious or dead, with a trail of blood running down her mouth.
***************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
The group was all looking up in awe at the two sovereigns. It was their magnificent appearances and powers are what they made them look up in complete shock. Never have they felt two very powerful kis from just only two individual digimon.
"Their lights are so pwetty," said Suzie.
"I still can't believe that I'm actually seeing holy beings before my own eyes, plus they're only digital but yet so real," said Takato.
Takato and Guilmon had already de-evolved back after Azulongmon had stopped the confrontation between Gallantmon and Zhuqiaomon.
"I'm still in shock after hearing the revelation of Metalla X actually giving up his life just to stop the D-Reaper," said Henry, "But yet, it was still not enough to put an end to it."
"The true enemy will not rest until each and every one of digital life forms are all wiped out," said Lopmon.
"So, are you going to explain to us about this true enemy," said Guilmon, "I mean. We already know its purposes but you have at least a background story.."
"From our point of view?" asked Azulongmon, "Well I suppose that it would be right for us to tell you. Since you have heard from Shintomon, I guess it would be our turn to explain to you about the true enemy."
"Which would be the D-Reaper," said Sonja.
"We are still not very sure of its true name but we have felt its devastating powers in the past…"
****************************************************************************************
Somewhere just near the Western Region
Ryo and Cyberdramon were looking around a nearby rocky gorge in the western hemisphere of the Digital World. Here lies the realm of none other than Baihumon.
"So, are you sure there's something wrong going on around here?" asked Ryo, "You've been acting rather strangely and you claimed to have sensed something. This isn't like you. Normally, you'd find a way to tear it apart, but now, nothing…"
"This is an enemy like none other, Ryo. It's not even a digimon and it even scares the sovereign."
"If it scares the sovereign so much, then we're in big trouble."
Suddenly, they heard a loud rustling sound behind a cliff. They both ran to over to investigate what made the sound and to their surprise, they saw nothing but a large tree. But it was so foggy and damp that it was very hard to see right through it.
"What was that?" asked Ryo.
"I'm sensing a very strong ki from that tree. It's a…"
Just then, the ground started to rise, as something was emerging. The tree was now being lifted up so to speak, as a large creature exposed itself. It looked like a giant tortoise, especially with the head popping out of the shell. But instead of one head, there were three heads.
"Whoa, just who is he?" Ryo asked.
"I don't care what he is! I want to fight him! Let me at him!"
"Take it easy, Cyberdramon. We better get a reading on him first. Then we'll know if we stand a chance."
[Ebonwumon. Mega-level. Northern Sovereign.]
"Take it easy! He's a sovereign! He has enough power to put you of your misery, Cyberdramon."
"Yeah! You almost gave me a darn heart attack there Mr. McAngry," replied Ebonwumon, who has a Scottish accent to his voice.
"Ebonwumon. What is going on around here? I heard of a creature that is even scaring you sovereigns," said Ryo.
"We do not know its name but this true enemy is very powerful and not even the strongest of digimon has a chance of fighting it."
"But this is not your domain. Isn't this supposed to be the western region, which is watched over by Baihumon?" Cyberdramon asked.
"Eh, I'm only guarding it for a while. Baihumon is down in the gorge fighting the true enemy as we speak."
"What?! That means he's in trouble! We got to help him!" exclaimed Ryo.
"Hold on! Don't get your underwear all crunched up, boy. This is Baihumon's battle and we shall respect his wishes by letting him fight the true enemy himself," replied Ebonwumon.
**************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
Guardromon was flying over towards the group along with Kazu and Kenta riding on his back.
"Hey, chumley! Over here! Did you think we would miss this out!" Kazu exclaimed.
"You can't leave us out and can't forget about us," replied Kenta.
"Hey! Glad to know that you guys managed to stay put at the gate," said Takato.
"Well, we didn't exactly miss you guys that much," Sonja said with sarcasm.
"We know that you missed us," Guardromon said.
"Spare me…"
"Now I shall explain to you, Tamers, about the true enemy. Maybe you'll understand from our point of view," said Azulongmon.
"We're all ears," said Terriermon.
Azulongmon gazes down at the lake below and his eyes flashed a blue light, causing uplift in the water to rise and away from the dry landscape. He gazes down and creates a huge fault in the ground with several markings being made onto the ground itself. The lines were able to form a circle, which was shaped like the earth's globe with several outlines to it.
"Just imagine this as the whole Digital World. The shape much resembles that of your own world, but it fails to comparison to ours. As you can see, there are layers that contain many different locations. The Digital World started out as a huge wasteland with barely to little life, but then our environments started to expand and evolve overtime, much like your world has for many eons. During this beginning, there existed three different types of beings. Those are the digimon, the fairies known as DigiGnomes and the true enemy. The name of this one dimension was known as "Digizona". So the digimon were forced to share the same habitat as the true enemy. It wasn't easy but life was hard at those times. But one day, the true enemy had vanished somewhere and was sealed within a sphere."
"That's what Shintomon told us about Black Magimon sealing away the D-Reaper. That must have been it and Shintomon was able to kill Dark Magimon's father from there," said Buddamon.
The group was now becoming quite interested as they gazed back over to Azulongmon, who was continuing to explain to them about their evolution.
"As soon as the true enemy was sealed away, this allowed digimon to further evolve. Eventually, the higher beings and us, sovereigns, had to create our own sub-dimensions, to ensure the survival of every type of digimon known."
"So these higher beings also included Shintomon himself?" asked Leomon.
"Yes. He is the last supreme guardian, since the other three were killed by the true enemy before it's imprisonment," replied Zhuqiaomon.
***************************************************************************************
Baihumon's Domain
Ryo looked down at the cracks below the caverns and watched as flashes of light were coming on and off. He jumps back at every time a hit was being made. Each hit caused the ground shock and several shockwaves to appear.
"Whatever Baihumon is fighting down there is packing quite a punch," said Ryo.
"More than just a punch. I feel a destructive ki from this being. I don't think even Baihumon will last much longer, but hopefully, he can hang on," said Cyberdramon.
"You two are underestimating good ol' Baihumon there. He's as tough as they come when it comes to protecting his domain," said Ebonwumon.
Suddenly, the ground started to crack and Ryo had almost fallen but Cyberdramon was able to catch him in time.
***************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
"In time, I had found a catalyst but I needed the power of not just my own but also that of the DigiGnomes and also from another individual that helped me turn the catalyst into the form of a digimon," said Azulongmon.
"Who? Who's this individual that you are referring to?" asked Henry.
Just then, a flock of DigiGnomes came flying by as the group looked up in awe at what they were seeing before them.
"Whoa. That's so cool," said Takato, "So these are DigiGnomes. So what do they exactly do?"
A Digignome came flying by and landed right on the shoulder for Takato. Then more DigiGnomes came flying by as they were carrying along what looked like man of some sorts. He seemed almost like a hologram of his image self.
"A human being," Sonja pondered, "Here?"
"Who is that Leomon?" asked Jeri.
"I have no idea. I have never seen him before."
"Greetings all," the man said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Mizuno. But my friends call to call me Shibumi."
Henry gasped in surprise what he was hearing.
"So, you're one of my dad's old college buddies, right?" asked Henry.
"Yes. That is me, who must you be?"
"I'm his son, Henry Wong."
"His son? Then you must know a lot about me and our project we created about the digimon?"
"Yeah. I know everything. Then you must also know about the reason for your digimon's evolution and the use of the cards right?"
"Well. No."
"I shall explain everything to you concerning that, and I shall explain the truth to the true enemy known as the D-Reaper."
The group all stood around as they were now prepared to hear the truth behind the whole story, that is until two bright sources came flying by. They all looked up to see Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon along with Rika and Renamon.
"Hey guys! You just didn't forget about us, did ya?" Rika said.
"Rika! Oh, you think we'd forget ya!" Takato called out.
"Glad you stayed alive, goggle head."
As soon as Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon landed, Rika and a now revived Renamon came towards the group. TK and Patamon had also awoken while being told of what happened to his own brother. He was quite saddened and went over towards the group.
"Sorry about the loss of your brother," Takato said, "Azulongmon told us everything."
"I know. What he did was honorable and that's all that mattered. I could have done it but Matt needed to show that he cares for others once in a while," said TK. "Matt. Thank you, my brother. I'll carry out your wishes."
They all nodded in reply and then turned to face Shibumi.
"Alright then, I think it's the perfect time to explain this whole situation. You're in for quite a story..."
*****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel.
Everyone of the remaining Digi-Destined, which included Cody, Sora, Joe, Mimi and Yolei, had all arrived to meet up with Izzy. The red-haired computer whiz stood in front of them while logging onto his Internet connection.
"Ok, guys. You all know why I called you here. Now about the other day, I'm sorry Yolei and Mimi. The car was broken down."
Mimi and Yolei sat there while rolling their eyes. Izzy cleared his throat, as he was about to speak.
"Now, this will be very hard to explain. But I just discovered the mystery to the whole digimon card mystery. And yes, I learned that the brain behind it was a man named Mizuno AKA Shibumi. I did quite a lot of research on him. It was said that he was one of the people behind the whole 'AI' program. He was apart of a group known as the 'Monster Makers'. They had almost perfected the digimon but never got to finish the finalized version."
"Such a bummer and we digimon would have been a hot commodity for a long time," remarked Tentomon.
"Yeah! Think about all that cash we would get just for being here," said Gomamon with dollar sighs forming in his eyes.
"Gomamon, this is serious," Joe replied.
"Yes. As I was saying, the project had to be cancelled due to the funding. But now, I just got recent information that the digimon cards were just released about as recently as six months ago."
"Six months ago?!" Cody exclaimed, "But why weren't we informed about this? I mean, how does this Shibumi know about our digimon?"
"As a matter of fact, our digimon are pretty well know since we were all involved in the War Games during the battle against Virus. Not to mention the incidents involving the artificials and Myotismon before that."
"But how does he even know our names?" Armadillomon asked.
"I'm getting to that. Here's a bold predication that I'm going to make and I'm very sure that you might believe me. But he has access to not just one but two digital worlds."
"Two digital worlds? That's where Tai and the others are in," Sora said.
"As a matter of fact, it was the Monster Makers who were responsible for the creation of the two digital worlds. Not only did they just create digimon, but also their environments. That is when Shibumi decided to make a card game out of it and we did not know because we did not pay much attention to it. In other words, there was no point since neither of us are big card collectors. But then I came into a revelation. I was able to make contact with Shibumi. I just made contact with him in the digital world as we speak. What you're about to witness is the truth. So are you ready? It was a pain in the ass to even get a connection through to this new Digital World. There were loads of interruptions. Anyway, here we go..."
Izzy goes over and clicks on a file reading Shibumi. As soon as he clicked on it, live footage was being shown on Izzy's laptop screen. Shibumi was now visible to the eyes of the Digi-Destined.
"Are we getting a good picture? Let me know if it needs to be fixed."
The Destined all sat there as they watched and paid no attention to Izzy. They sat around as Shibumi began to speak.
"I am Mizuno. But my friends call me Shibumi. I'm glad to have met each and every one of you. I'm glad to know that there are others who have knowledge of the digimon as I have. Now, in case you're wondering how I know so much about digimon, well I can just say that I was a college kid with quite a weird imagination. I was one of the Monster Makers and we decided to come up with an idea that would revolutionize technology, as we know it today. We were the first to actual create digimon. But after the project was cancelled, I had made a prediction that these digimon would in fact come to life. My friends and family called me a 'lunatic' and a 'goofball' during those rough times. But eventually, my predication would indeed come true. The first digimon to have appeared on earth happened almost nineteen years ago, during the battle between two monsters at Highton View Terrance."
"Greymon and Parrotmon," Sora replied.
"After that battle occurred, investigators had referred to the incident as a terrorist attack, but then, more digimon had emerged in our world once again about four and a half years later. During the second incident, not only were there digimon but also something that appeared in the skies. It would, in fact, be the actual digital world. But that wasn't the end of the incidents. The situation would have become worse about three years later, when digimon had appeared all over the world just before the War Games held by Virus had taken place. Military had questioned whether to find an actual way to locate the digital world and the digimon, but luckily there were digital gates that would seal away all the doorways to the digital world. It was actually for the best. But the digimon invasions would not stop from there. In fact, the other digital world was now beginning to allow digimon to enter our world through bio emerging. I know for one thing that these digimon are ruled over by four sovereign, the higher beings of the digital world."
"But what about this thing called the blue card," pondered Cody.
"Ah. I'll explain. It's quite simple really. The blue cards are not technically even cards at all. They're 'evolution algorithms" that change the data of digimon and humans. They only appear when someone, who is a Tamer of a digimon, are emotionally in a difficult situation."
"Whoa! How did he even know what I was going to ask," Cody said with widened eyes.
"Maybe he's just psychic," remarked Armadillomon.
"The DigiGnomes that you see before me are actually other forms of digital beings, but are not digimon. They are kind of like cousins to digimon though; much like an ape is to a human. What they did as far as digimon is concerned was take data packets and create digimon out of them."
"But what about a digimon like Guilmon?" asked Izzy.
"Quite simple my friends. The DigiGnomes took the info based on Guilmon and merged them together to create the form of Guilmon, giving him an actual body and soul."
"Which is further proof that digimon are not just walking and talking forms of data."
"Hey! Who said I was data? I eat like a pig and yet I feel so real. Even when I get those stomach aches when I sleep," remarked Tentomon.
"Ha. Very good logic there my friend. But another reason why Guilmon was created was because it was Takato's dream that also helped create Guilmon."
"Dream? So you think that could be why we also became Digi-Destined. Did I just dream for Hawkmon to become my partner," Yolei pondered.
"And maybe I was dreaming about you too, Yolei. But I really didn't get to know you until you pulled the digimental out," replied Hawkmon.
"You got a point…"
"That's a good theory. You could have, but then again could have not. That dream enabled Guilmon to become apart of Takato, just like each and every one of you Tamers and Digi-Destined. It's pretty obvious anyways. You each have digimon to rely on and each of you share the same power of friendship. Guilmon was a type that was created as a form of communication."
"So that mean our digimon are just data? Damn, what a bummer," Joe said.
"Aww, admit it Joe. I'm the best data friend that your ever had," Gomamon remarked.
"But it really doesn't matter. We're still their friends," said Palmon.
"Right. There's nothing that will set us apart."
"Now that all of that is settled. It's time for me to explain of the true enemy. The enemy you are facing is known as the D-Reaper."
"So, what exactly is this D-Reaper?" asked Sora.
"The D-Reaper was originally designed as a simple control program that was to prevent the original programs that became digimon from getting out of control. But then, it shouldn't have become powerful as it has become. It was corrupted by something, perhaps some computer virus. Now it apparently mutated."
"Mutated? What? Did it grow another arm?" Gomamon asked.
"It soon gained data of what it deleted. It probably absorbed every power that each digimon it had deleted overtime. All it ever thinks about is destruction… of digimon and the digital worlds… Oh no… losing transmission… No! I wasn't finished yet…"
Just then, Izzy had now lost transmission with Shibumi and the screen went black. The group was too stunned at what they had heard from Shibumi, especially the digimon themselves.
"Whoa. That was like shocking," Tentomon said.
"Yeah. No kidding," replied Gomamon.
"So, looks like we got ourselves a screwed up computer program on our hands. A mutated program to be precise and we must not underestimate this enemy you guys," said Izzy, "Our other Digi-Destined friends and the Tamers are out there as we speak. We will do everything we can to keep in touch with them as far as communication is concerned…"
"Maybe we can help!" a voice called out.
The whole Destined group all turned around to see none other than Yamaki and the Hypnos crew looking over at them.
"Who are you?" Izzy asked.
"That's for me to know, Mr. Izumi. We might need your help. And it certainly does concern your friends."
"Wait a minute! You're that Yamaki guy!" exclaimed Mimi.
Yamaki replies with a grin on his face.
***************************************************************************************
Zhuiqaomon's Domain
The group had just finished listening to what Shibumi had told them. They were just as shocked and surprised by the revelation of Guilmon's birth.
"I can't believe you're just a walking and breathing piece of data," said Takato.
"But remember, I'm still your friend. No matter what we both are. Even if you are flesh and blood, you are still my friend, Takatomon."
Takato responds with a smile on his face and he shook Guilmon's hands in the form of displaying their true friendship.
"Rika? Your not mad that Renamon is data, right?"
"Goggle head. Just because she's data doesn't change the fact that our friendship remains as strong as ever. Don't you forget that," Rika said with a wink.
Takato returns with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Matt. If only you were here to by at our side," TK said, "But it looks like we'll have to avenge your death by taking down that damned D-Reaper our selves."
"Don't worry, TK. As long as we fight together, we'll beat that corrupted program," said Patamon.
"Azulongmon, do you know where the catalyst as we speak?" asked Buddamon.
"I'm sorry my friend, Buddamon, but we have not been able to find the catalyst. We do have a feeling that he is here within the digital world hiding."
"Don't worry, Azulongmon. We'll find Calumon and help you in this fight against the D-Reaper," Takato said, "Zhuqiaomon, you must agree that us digimon and humans must work together this time around."
"Unfortunately, I will have to agree. I still share disgust with you humans but this a war that both sides have to work together. We do after all have one common enemy and that being the true enemy."
"D-Reaper."
"Don't worry, Tai and Kari. Well take care of everything and do what it takes to avenge your defeats,"Takato said to himself. "Nothing will stop us from the inevitable."
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Clouds start to drift away lazily over a rocky area. Shintomon stumbles forward, barely able to stand on his two feet. He collapses against a wall.
"Hikari, please be alive! I need your help along with TK and Davis to help kill the D-Reaper!"
Shintomon gets off his wall and continues his long walk through the desolate landscape. Unfortunately, he doesn't get very far before he collapses once again and falls to his knees. Far ahead of him lies the forest in which Kari and Gatomon rested, either unconscious or dead.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere
[Majin Buu's dub background theme plays]
D-Reaper raced across the desolate landscape with Dark Magimon leading towards numerous directions. They soon come across a small little town in the middle of nowhere. Magimon giggles excitedly at the sight. D-Reaper simply smiles. But then, the sorcerer's laughing abruptly stops as he realized that D-Reaper was about to ram into the tallest building of the small little town. Dark Magimon cries out as D-Reaper goes plowing through room after room while digimon were screaming out in the background.
"Stop! Stop!"
But D-Reaper doesn't stop. Digimon were beginning to abandon their homes as a result, which caused Dark Magimon to get hit in the head by of all sorts of objects, including the kitchen sink. D-Reaper grins as the tower that they rammed through exploded. Tons of red data came shooting out from thee devastated tower debris and D-Reaper absorbed it as if it were a hot fudge sundae. They continue out as debris came cluttering the sky behind them.
****************************************************************************************
Somewhere in the Digital World
Tai and Agumon were slowly beginning to come to as they looked out to see nothing but a desolate landscape.
"Ugh, please get the number of that bus," said Tai, "Hey? Where did Matt go? And we're out of our fusion form."
"Tai! He got away. I do remember getting hit from behind that completely put me out."
"Me too. Damn Matt! He knows better to than attack me from behind. Oh well, I'll owe me later. But wait, I do remember him clubbing me in the back."
Flashback
"If we can work together, I'm sure we can defeat D-Reaper," said Omega X.
Metalla X quickly clenches his fist and then holds it out with his other arm, as if he were about to hit a baseball. Omega X smiles as he began to absorb some of his own power, in order to transfer it to Metalla X. But then, Metalla X executes a forearm smash to the back of Omega X's head. He cries out in surprise and pain, as his eyes widen and his mouth hanging open. He falls to the ground, quickly de-evolving back into Tai and Agumon. They both land with a thud and looked just about out of it. Metalla X stands over them with his arms held up.
"Even you had to let your guard down when you lost fatigue."
He reaches down and begins absorbing some of Tai's former crest energy. He stares at his body, which began to glow with a golden aura and it explodes with a metallic blue aura instead.
End of Flashback
"I can feel D-Reaper's ki but I can't feel Metalla X's," Agumon said.
"What?! Then that means he's either left or he could have… died…"
"Plus I can't even feel Kari's either… But I can still feel Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon. They've changed back from stone. Those two should know what has been going on."
"What?! Not Kari too! Oh no! We have to find them quick!"
"Hold on, I can sense a whole group of kis over in the southern region. I can get us there with the ol' time warp technique."
"Alright. Maybe we can group up with the others and band together to find my sister."
Tai walks over to Agumon as he places two fingers on his forehead. As soon as Agumon concentrated, they both materialized and disappeared without a track from their location.
***************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
As the whole group sat around thinking of a way to fight the D-Reaper, Takato looks over to Rika and walks up to her.
"Rika?"
"Yeah goggle head?"
"You okay?"
"Well other than hearing about other people dead, I should be fine. I mean look. Matt and Kari are dead. I hate to cry but I almost feel like it, even if Matt was such a jerk. We don't even know what's happened to Tai either."
"Yeah, I know how you feel…"
"Thanks…"
"For what?"
"For understanding…"
"Um, your welcome…"
Suddenly, something materializes out of nowhere. The group all turns around to see none other than Tai and Agumon. They gasped in shock and yet were happy to see them again.
"Tai! Oh my god! I can't believe you're still alive!" exclaimed TK.
"Ah, come on. You guys know better than that. Nothing keeps us down."
"I'm still shocked that you two managed to survive. Where did you go?" Takato asked.
"We've been taking a nap this whole time after getting knocked out from behind by a certain somebody named Matt."
"Tai, there's something we need to tell you," Rika said.
"What is it?"
"Matt is dead," said Jeri.
"What?!"
"He gave up his own life to try to stop the D-Reaper but it was all in vain!" replied Leomon, "We were unaware of this until Azulongmon here informed us."
"I have no doubt. Agumon was still able to sense D-Reaper's ki anyways. But Matt… Damn. I can't believe it. By the way, can somebody heal our bodies, because we just got back from a harsh battle."
""I'll be more than happy to,"Azulongmon said, "After all, you might be one of our last resorts in defeating the D-Reaper."
"Cool, you got yourself a deal, then."
As soon as he said that, Azulongmon powered up one of his digicores and a bright beam of energy came flowing down upon both Tai and Agumon. Zhuqiaomon could only look on with a face of almost sheer disgust but knew he had to cooperate in the humans on this battle.
***************************************************************************************
Underground parts of the Digital World
Calumon was climbing up a very steep wall and then came across seeing a group of large bubbles floating up from the bottom pits below. Each of the bubbles was red and formless as if they were slime inside of a lava lamp. Their colorful appearance easily caught Calumon's attention as he looked over at them.
"Culu. Those little bubbles are so pretty. Yet, I can't even reach to them. They're too far away and why would they be floating up and what could be making them."
As he continued to ramble on, more bubbles came floating from the deep pits and were becoming quite a distraction for Calumon.
"Pretty, I wish I had one of those. Now off to find Takato and Guilmon!"
After all of these stunning revelations, we have a tight situation on our hands. Matt is gone. Kari might have a chance to survive death's doors. The D-Reaper is still alive and well. And there's nothing to stand in its way, but will Tai and Agumon have anything to say about it and can they make a difference?

[Preview]
Tai: If only Kari or Matt were alive, we could have easily beaten the D-Reaper.
Takato: How?
Tai: It will be through a fusion. I'm not talking about the usual human and digimon combination. I'm talking about two fusion warriors merging with one another.
Terriermon: Um… You've lost me here… Taimon
Tai: D-Reaper would have gone down easily with this technique. I'm looking for two suitable warriors to use this technique. TK. Davis. You two are it.
TK: Me and Davis?!
Tai: We need to bring Kari back. Shintomon, you said you had something that would help increase Kari's hidden power?
Shintomon: Yes. While my assistant Buddamon helps train War Angemon and Imperialdramon to fuse with one another. I'll be responsible for Kari.
Tai: I trust you my friend.
Azulongmon: The chaos of the true enemy is loose!
Rika: Not if Renamon and I have anything to say about! Bio-Merge Activate!
Voice: We are the instruments to your destruction, chaos…

Keke: Yeah. But I'm still going to kick his ass. I don't care how hurt he is. No one messes with my family.
Coral: I've noticed that SSJ4T is changing a few things. Kari is getting the special treatment from Shintomon, while TK and Davis are getting the fusion training from Buddamon? He really is changing the plot.
Max: He did say that he was going to make changes to this saga alone. While Keke cools off, don't forget to check out the latest Zero Two fic! It's up and ready to be reviewed. Until then, we're out! Peace!

A New Hope: Fusion Confusion?! Whirling Ultimate Flower, Sakuyamon Evolves!
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
The entire group had just finished explaining everything that had been happening while he was out. Everything from the fight that Takato endured with Beelzebumon, the D-Reaper's release and Metalla X's ultimate sacrifice.
"…And that's what happened so far," Takato finished explaining.
Tai and Agumon were sitting down on some stone steps as they were listening to the whole story. They were quite surprised, saddened and but were ready for the new enemies. Tai sits up with his arms crossed and a smirk across his face.
"That's terrible. I mean both Kari and Shintomon have been killed… Now Matt just gave up his own life trying to save ours. I can't believe Matt is gone, too."
He looks up from the floor with tears in his eyes, which was one of the very few times that he has ever shed tears. But he had lost his own flesh and blood and a very close friend, which would have been enough to put him into depression, but the losses only made him stronger. He looks up to face the group.
"D-Reaper is unbelievably powerful as Shintomon had predicted. If we don't do something, not only will all digimon, but mankind will also be exterminated."
"We really need you Tai," said TK, "We can't afford to lose you. After all, you and Agumon make up the strongest fighter in the whole group."
"Besides, Takato and Guilmon have also managed to merge to become Gallantmon," said Rika, "That's a big plus. I'll willing to bet that he's the second strongest."
"Can't forget about us," said Imperialdramon.
"Sorry to break it to you, Davis," Dinobeemon, "But even we don't stand a chance against the D-Reaper. Your going to have to find a way to surpass the normal mega level, much like Tai and Kari has."
"Well, I really hate to say this guys," Tai said, "But I don't think even myself and Agumon as Omega X can beat the D-Reaper."
"We shouldn't be underestimating the enemy. The D-Reaper is much more powerful than you all are giving it credit for," said Agumon.
"So, you saying that you can't beat the D-Reaper?" asked Henry, "Tell me your just jerking our chains.
"No… I'm pretty dead serious," Tai replied. "I was I wasn't but I'm not bullshitting here."
"But Tai… You're just saying that. You have unbelievable powers," said Guilmon.
"Well, Matt and I were both equal in power in our fusion forms. It was a very close battle. The D-Reaper wasn't even bothered when Matt imploded," said Tai.
The group lowered their heads in utter disappointment at what the Digi-Destined of courage had just said.
"I'm sorry, guys, but I don't think Omega X could beat D-Reaper."
"I understand. Even you aren't that strong compared to D-Reaper," TK said, "I can see that very well."
Tai stood there clenching his fists at the thought of getting back at the D-Reaper for taking away his little sister's life.
"Damn it! If only Matt or Kari were still alive, I'd think we have a chance."
"No. Even if we attack D-Reaper in masses, we will still fail," said Imperialdramon, "That won't work and we will just be sending more meat to be slaughtered."
"That's not what I meant," said Tai, "I wanted to start a technique where two digimon would fuse, instead of the usual human and digimon fusion."
"What?! Fusion between digimon?!" exclaimed the group.
They all had widened eye expression and gaping mouths, but Tai simply stood there with a smile on his face. Even Takato and the Tamers were caught by surprise.
"Yeah, I said fusion."
"Fusion. You mean joining together?" asked Kazu, "Between two digimon?"
"Yeah. It was done before when War Greymon and Metal Garurumon. They eventually became Omnimon. Only this time, it's a fusion between the digital fusion warriors such as myself."
"Yeah, we met these race of digimon known as Repoids many years ago and they were able to teach us that technique," said Agumon, "It really works and we figured that it would be quite useful in the battle against the D-Reaper."
"But it can only be done when the two fighters have an equal amount of power and are almost the same size," said Tai, "Otherwise, it won't work."
"Such as? What?" asked Terriermon, "This fusion is too confusing… Even for me… My head is starting to hurt now."
"Well. How do I explain it? Ok, lets try this out. It's a joining technique between two digimon and that merged pair will have incredible power that neither has had before. They become a whole new person," Tai stated.
"That's right," replied Imperialdramon, "I saw it done between War Greymon and Metal Garurumon. They eventually had incredible powers as Omnimon. I saw it done when they were in training. But that was a long time ago."
"But you do know that Omnimon was very powerful as a result of that fusion," Tai said.
"The fusion that we humans and digimon have demonstrated was incredible, but the fusion of two fusion warriors will be very powerful," Tai said, "I can guarantee that."
"The Repoids were quite weak and quiet before showing us the fusion technique, but once they merged, they were one awesome fighter," said Agumon, "I almost jumped up because of it."
"I'm beginning to understand this," Takato said, "So when War Greymon and Metal Garurumon merged, they merely gained a huge power up."
Tai nodded while agreeing to the goggle boy's response.
"So if Kari or Matt were still alive, you could have fused with them?" asked TK.
"Or one of them could have fused with you," replied Tai, "You'd become a powerful warrior and will beat the D-Reaper that way."
"It took us a week to learn the technique," said Agumon, "We've never used it. There wasn't anybody like Tai and myself in that part of the Digital world where the Repoids lived."
As soon as he said that, the whole group lowered their heads in disappointment and thought that Tai would have already known how to use that fusion technique. Tai grins and rubs the back of his head.
"I guess it was just a dream."
"No, Tai! Its not impossible," said Takato, "I'm even bigger dreamer than you…"
But just as Tai was about to walk away, he turned around to face the goggle boy. Takato soon began to speak up to get Tai's attention.
"Huh? Takato, what do you mean?"
"Its not impossible. Besides, you said that Metal Garurumon and War Greymon could fuse into Omnimon. That's more than enough proof that it's possible. Heck, this entire digital fusion between digimon and humans is more than enough proof. I learned a lot when Guilmon and myself merged. Now, we're at the level at you are at Tai. We just can't give up now. There are three worlds that depends us. We have to stop the D-Reaper, no matter what it takes. Tai, I hope you realize that."
Tai stood there and was beginning to think to himself. Takato had made very good points and everybody pretty much agreed.
"It's very possible," said Azulongmon, "Fusion warrior, this maybe our last chance. This mergence between the two fusion warriors could work. It needs to be completed soon."
"You're right. I need to stop dreaming, because you guys are counting on me. This dream might very well lead to the defeat of the D-Reaper. So, what are we waiting for? Lets get this over with!"
"Only one problem, Tai," Rika said, "The only possible candidate for you to fuse with are TK and Davis. Besides, we're not sure if you are able to fuse with Gallantmon since he isn't a real digimon," Takato said, "I wouldn't know for sure. Plus I don't know what kind of side effects it might have on Guilmon, whether it be positive or negative."
"He could be right, Tai. I'll be able to fuse with you," said TK.
"Or me," replied Imperialdramon.
"Heck, maybe I can just teach you two," Tai stated.
The whole group all went wide-eyed at Tai's announcement. TK and Imperialdramon looked over to each other in surprise.
"Me fuse with Davis?!"
"Me? Fuse with TG?!"
"Besides, since Matt and Kari are not here. You only are the only candidates," Agumon stated, "We could have gone with Terriermon and Guilmon but it won't know the side effects it might have on them, since they are from a different digital world than ours."
TK and Imperialdramon looked over to Tai as they both nodded their heads.
"I'm going to teach you guys for as long as I can," Tai said, "But there's still not enough time… Will somebody take over after me in case Agumon and I have to go and stall the D-Reaper some time?"
"I'll do it!" a voice called out.
They turned all around to see Leomon raising his hand up. Jeri looked over at him and then over towards Tai and TK.
"You sure you can handle it?" asked Tai.
"Don't worry. I've also been to Repoid. It's no dream world. I've seen what they can do as far as their fusion technique is concerned."
"Alright, it's settled then," TK said, "We got plenty of time to master it."
"Not exactly," said Buddamon.
The group all turned to face Buddamon as he began to explain the flaws to the actual amount of time for the fusion training.
"It seems that it would take a very long time for TK and Davis to master this new form of the fusion technique. A lot of digimon are going to be sacrificed to the D-Reaper in that time. In fact, all of digital life, maybe even the human realm will all be but destroyed."
"That's our gamble. Are you willing to take that risk? We have to be prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure both TK and Davis master the new technique of fusion," Renamon stated.
"Don't worry, as long as the four guardians are around, we can just use the digicores to help revive everyone that were lost to the D-Reaper," said Tai.
"Use my digicores?! I will not allow you to take any of my valuable items of life!" exclaimed Zhuqiaomon.
"Silence, Zhuqiaomon. This may be our only chance. We have to trust in them," Azylongmon replied.
"Well al right. Maybe I should at least trust them this time around. But only for this time."
"Don't worry, Zhuqiaomon. We won't let you down," Lopmon said.
"That big mean ol' bird needs to calm down," said Suzie, "Maybe a little sleep will help him."
"No. He's always been like this. No offense but he has a long-term grudge against humans."
"That doesn't surprise me," replied Guardromon. "Big ol' bird thinks he's so tough."
"Yeah, like that's ever going to change his views about us," Kazu muttered. "You're embarrassing me, dude."
"Alright, you hear that, Tai?" Imperialdramon asked.
"We still have hope. Just what he really need now," Tai replied, "You two might still be able to pull this one off."
They both nodded in agreement while the others within the group were discussing the issue over the new fusion technique. Could it actually be done without any negative side effects to it? Only time will tell as far as this is concerned.

Elsewhere within the Digital World
[Majin Buu's english background theme plays]
D-Reaper was slowly passing over a large, beautiful ocean with Dark Magimon on her back. Suddenly, there was a seaside city that was coming into view. This caught D-Reaper's attention as she goes flying down towards what looked like an amusement park.
She looks down to see a roller coaster taking a huge drop with people screaming with excitement. She grins and begins to follow the track. She went through many loops and turns in order to catch up to the cart. Dark Magimon screamed out, as D-Reaper was quickly moving through the roller coaster. As a result, Dark Magimon goes falling off of the back of the D-Reaper. He goes screaming out.
"D-Reaper, do something! We don't have time to be playing around!"
As soon as D-Reaper was about to reach towards the very top of the roller coaster, she goes swooping down like a falcon and catches Dark Magimon in time, leaving the tourists to deal with a large, cloud of dust that he throws up while passing. D-Reaper returns over to the roller coaster, but was now flying alongside with it instead of going through the actual track. As soon as the roller coaster came at a turn, D-Reaper suddenly goes smashing into it and causes it to go flying off of the track. She shrugs her shoulders and begins to walk alongside the track of where the roller coaster was supposed to be traveling around in. As soon as the crash-landed, the tourists each exploded into data and D-Reaper quickly absorbed the last of their data.
"I better keep D-Reaper in control before she wrecks everything other than the digimon! She's merely toying with them,"The evil sorcerer said to himself.
The D-Reaper jumps off for the roller coaster track and lands down on her feet. She looked over to see a large group of digimon running away as fast as possible. A devilish grin forms across D-Reaper's face as she continues her walk through the amusement park.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Hypnos Headquarters.
The Hypnos crew was in the main obversation room, and was attempting to try to make connection into the digital world. But no matter how have they have tried, they came out a little short of the situation.
Yamaki was done giving Izzy a tour of the Hypnos building. The young man was starting to become quite more interested in their use of such advanced technology.
"I must say, Mr. Yamaki. This is some state of the art technology. I never knew such a place existed."
"We've hidden our main observation room due to the media and politics. We couldn't allow anyone to know what kind of secret project we are working on. Just recently, we had used a program known as the Juggernaut."
"What exactly is the Juggernaut program?"
"Its a program that was used and designed to locate and delete all digital life forms within this plane of existence. Its been used quite frequently. Until the recent incident where that digimon destroyed nearly all of West Shinjuku."
"I know. I saw that on the news."
"Well, as a result, something interfered with the process and caused it to meltdown. We've been spending almost days and nearly a week to try to repair everything that was lost. It won't be fully recovered until at least a few months to say the least."
"Few months, huh? But why did you want to get rid of the digimon?"
"Due to the fact that they were feared to become a nuisance and might cause an unbalance in our environment. All of these bio-emergences have caused quite a bit of negative effects. The biggest prime example was the giant pig which nearly destroyed the entire city."
"But not all of the digimon are bad. You really can't assume that every digimon plan on arriving in this world to cause it any harm."
"I never knew that until I met the digimon that were associated with Takato and the other children. They are out there in the digital world and trying to save their friend. I feel almost guilty for attempting to wipe out their companion digimon."
"No, it's not entirely your fault, Mr. Yamaki. You really didn't understand digimon that well. If you want somebody who has had experience with them, I'm the one to talk to. Besides, I have a digimon of my own… Tentomon."
Tentomon was walking in with a box of cream puffs. The little insect stuffed his mouth down with a handful of the cream puffs. Izzy looked on with widened eyes and a sweat drop coming down his face.
"So, Izzy. When are we going to take a lunch break? I was so tired of waiting, so I went to a near by vending machine and got myself some of the best snacks you can find."
"With what money?"
"Um a lady with red hair, and quite a looker too, had left some money on a counter and I took it."
"No you didn't," Yamaki muttered.
"What? I didn't know it had belonged to her! I thought she had left it there for somebody else. Plus I couldn't resist anything that so sweet and tasty… Mmmm, sweets…"
"He needs a break from watching those Simpson marathons," Izzy thought.
Just then, a voice came screaming out and it caused Tentomon to jump back. He turned around to see Riley running in with an angry look on her face. Izzy and Yamaki stepped off to the side with Tentomon dropping the food.
"WHO THE HELL TOOK MY MONEY?!"
"Um… I can… explain…"
"Explain?! Explain to me why you stole my money! I was hungry. You don't want to get on my bad side on an empty stomach. Now give me those cream puffs of else."
"Well, I certainly got something to say!"
With that said, Tentomon picks up the cream puffs and flies off with them in his hands. Riley goes chasing right him.
"You get back here!"
"Geez, and here I thought battling evil digimon was bad, but this is worse!"
"Come, Izzy. We better get out of here, before Riley tears the place apart. Let's go into my office."
"Give me back those creampuffs!"
"Finders keepers! Heh. Heh."
Tentomon takes a peek inside the box. He realized that there was none left. He had eaten everything piece available.
"Doh!"
They both walked out the door leaving Tentomon to be chased by an ever-so hungry, Riley. Luckily, there were some co-workers that were able to hold back Riley. Yamaki walks over to his office door with Izzy following him inside. He shuts the door and walks over to his desk.
"Tell me, Mr. Izumi. How did you get yourself associated with the digimon? After all, you and some other seven children had some long history with them."
"I can explain everything. You see it all started nineteen years ago. Six children and myself were at summer camp. This was approximately about August of 1999. August 1, 1999 to be exact. During that day, we had found a strange aura and then six beams of light came out of nowhere. Eventually, we had received these devices, which are called digivices."
Izzy holds out his digivice, which had still remained the same ever since that year in 1999.
"It was there that a portal came out of nowhere and it sucked all of us into a different reality world from earth. It was in fact the Digital World."
"Digital World? What exactly did it look like?"
"When we first arrived, it was a lush, rain-forest. But there are many ecosystems throughout the Digital World. Much like our own planet, the Digital World has tundras, oceans, mountain landscapes, grasslands, coniferous forests, factory lands, frozen landscapes, and several dark, mysterious dimensions. It is home to many kinds of digimon that inhabit each ecosystem. Each confined to those separate ecosystems and each evolving overtime."
"Interesting, and how did you meet up with your digimon? They just didn't come popping out of nowhere."
"Actually that did. The digimon had followed us everywhere we went and they protected us against some of the most dangerous monsters of that time. Eventually, we learned that the digimon were our destined partners due to the fact of us bearing the digivices. We were summoned to stop the forces of darkness that were attempting to control the digital world. We started off on File Island where each of our digimon digivolved. My digimon is Tentomon, but then he digivolved, with the help of my digivice, into Kabuterimon. Later, we had also received tags and crests, which would enable our digimon to digivolve past the champion level. Each crest possesses a symbol of the bearer's strongest traits. Mine would be knowledge and the crest would enable Kabuterimon to digivolve into Altur Kabuterimon."
"Evolution among these digimon? I've seen it done before with the digimon that invaded West Shinjuku. So, I have no doubt that it makes them stronger."
"Right, each time that they digivolve, they obtain special powers. In turn, they make themselves stronger."
"Then I would see these digimon upload the data after defeating their opponent."
"Really? I haven't seen digimon from our world perform that ability. I have a feeling that there's another digital world out there and not just one."
"I've also been having that same feeling. There's a good chance that these digimon that have recently bio-emerged did in fact come from another digital reality."
"Plus these digimon are a lot stronger from this other digital world. It's a good possibility that Takato, Tai and the others are already on that digital reality as we speak. I've seen how these digimon fight. Let me tell you, even Altur Kabuterimon was having trouble with one."
"You also said that you have actual connection to those two digital worlds?"
"For the one I've been to, yes. I am able to make contact with a being named Gennai. He's been a major help through all of the troubles we've had in the past. But, now, I just recently managed to tap into a dimensional portal with the help of Gennai. I managed to study a little bit of it and was very intrigued at what I saw."
"We might need your help after all. Izzy, I ask you to help us. The Monster Makers and myself have nothing that will enable us to make direct connection with that digital world. After all, most of our equipment is still in repair as we speak."
"Well, you did ask me in a kind way. But…"
Yamaki sat there as if waiting for Izzy to give him a straight answer. Izzy placed his fingers on his chin and looked down to the floor. He looks straight up at Yamaki and a smile forms across his face. He extends his hand out.
"You've got yourself a deal, Mr. Yamaki. I'm in."
Yamaki responds by shaking the young man's hand as both of them sat up from their chairs.
"I'm glad that you have decided to help us. You'll be amazed to know how creative the Monster Makers really are."
"Oh I know."
"You do?"
"Just because I'm young doesn't mean I can get all the information on the Internet. Trust me, you won't believe how much I spend time on it."
"Understandable."
Suddenly, there was a loud scream as Tentomon came running out from the door with Riley on his tail.
"Is she always like this," asked Izzy.
"Only when she's hungry. Ugh, I better go restrain her before she causes a scene. Next time, be sure to tell your little friend to watch it with the money on the counters. They're not his."
"I'll be sure to tell him that."
Just then, Talley comes walking in, which catches both mens' attention.
"Excuse me, sir? We got ourselves a problem with Riley again. Shall I get some co-workers to find and restrain her?"
"No, Talley. I'll handle this."
Talley then takes a good look at Izzy and smiled.
"Hello there, you must be that new additional member of our team."
"Well. Actually, I'm just here for a temporary basis until all of this digimon situation is cleared off."
"I see."
"Oh, and my name is Izzy. Koushiro Izumi to be exact."
"The names Talley."
"Can we save introductions later? We got a mad woman to stop," Yamaki said.
"I'm with you. I better get Tentomon out of here before she tries to strangle him out."
As soon as both Yamaki and Izzy go running out, Talley was left behind. She looked over at Izzy, who had now disappeared into the hallways. A slight blush comes across her face. But she quickly shook herself and was back to reality.
"What am I thinking? He's only in his early 20s and I'm near my late 20s. That can't be right."
Talley shrugged and walks away to get back to work.
"Or could it?"
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere in West Shinjuku.
Sora and Biyomon were walking through the park while gazing up at the stars. It was already nightfall and they knew that being out in the park late at night wasn't safe, but they weren't even worried. All Sora could think about was Tai.
"Sora. Everything is going to be okay. I'm sure Tai and the others are fine. Besides, we got some of the strongest fighters on our team. We've beaten Virus and Burizalor. This time won't be any different. They might be facing different kinds of enemies but they will pull it through."
"I know. But I just hate being at the sidelines. Being without Tai only makes things worse for me. I get pretty lonely."
A smile forms across her face.
"Stupid, Tai. You had better come back."
"So, are you sad that I'm just data? After hearing what Shibumi had said?"
"Not at all. You're my best friend, Biyomon. I could never stop liking you and dump you because you're data. I kind of consider it being discriminated for hating towards somebody being different. Each of us are different all across the world, but all share something that will never separate us apart."
"And that would be?"
"A heart. We all have hearts.
"You're heart and you're the first to know about love. We share the power of love after all."
"You're right. And let us share that love for each other. And I will share the love I have for Tai."
"That's the spirit, Sora. I knew you come through."
"Yeah. I promise never to down myself ever again."
"You promise?"
"Promise."
Sora and Biyomon hugged each other as the stars from above were shining down over them as if Tai himself were watching her at this very moment.
Looking on from the distance, a blue-haired girl with long pigtails looks on. Her eyes were mystified. Standing next to her was a taller, young man with a bag of groceries.
"Isn't that sweet, Tenchi?"
"It sure is. We better get going before Ayeka and Ryoko tear up the place again."
"Ok."
****************************************************************************************
Digital World.
Shintomon was crawling right through the ground and struggled with everything within the inch of his body. He was nearly beaten to death and wanted to find Kari as soon as possible. But he couldn't do this alone. He needed help and fast.
"I need… Buddamon… He'll help me…"
With that said, Shintomon closed his eyes while delivering a telepathic message over to Buddamon. He used every ounce of power to do so, and he had to it quick before his body wears out and eventually gets deleted.
"Buddamon. I need your help now! I'm located over at the oasis over near the location of Dark Magimon's former ship site… I need help. We need to find Kari… I have a feeling she's still alive!"
***************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
Buddamon stood for a few moments before his eyes widened in shock as he had received Shintomon's telepathic message. He looks up and then began to speak.
"Shintomon! I can hear you!"
The others looked over towards him with shocked expressions on their faces. Rika and TK go running up to Buddamon.
"He's alive?" asked Rika, "But that explosion should have killed him! I can't believe it. It's good to know that he's alive."
"What is he saying?" asked TK, "What's his condition?"
"He's near death and I must depart from here to go and help him. He also just said that he might have found the exact location of Kari. So, in other words, there's a huge possibility that she may not be dead after all."
The group was now beginning to become much happier over this stunning revelation, especially TK, Takato and Tai.
"That's great! She's still alive!" exclaimed Takato, "That means that you and Shintomon are going to retrieve her back?"
"Yes. Then we can use her to help you with the new fusion techniques."
"Great! Would you please go and help them right away?" asked Tai, "I'm really worried about Kari. I am her brother after all."
"Of course, I will do what I can."
"Thank you, Buddamon. We really appreciate it," said TK, "Our gratitude goes out to you."
Buddamon responds with a nod and cups his hands together while chanting a magical phrase to himself. This phrase was a spell that would enable him to teleport over at the exact location of where Shintomon was waiting.
"I just wonder how long this training will last. We don't have much time left. We still have Calumon to find and the D-Reaper to stop,"Henry said to himself.
"Hey, Henry? Momentai! If you're worried about Calumon, don't worry. I have a good feeling he is coming to us eventually."
"You really think so?"
"I know so. Just sit back and momentai. The training will be quick and that D-Reaper will get the biggest a-er butt kicking of his life."
"Was he just about to say ass?" Guilmon asked.
"What's an ass?" asked Guardromon.
"Ugh. Please don't start with the ass jokes," Rika said, "This is serious business."
"Men. Feh. They'll never learn," Sonja muttered.
"I agree. They're all pigs," Rika said, but then turned around to face Takato. "Except for Takato though..."
"Hmmm. I wonder why she's looking at me."
"I really hope those two will eventually show their feelings towards each other. Its no secret," Jeri said to herself. "Besides, Takato and I are just friends anyway. At least I have a digimon and became an official Tamer. I'm very proud to be on a team with those two."
Tai looks up at the skies and was now beginning to think about Sora along the way. A smile forms across his face.
"Don't worry, Sora. We'll be back. I promise. Nothing will separate us apart."
***************************************************************************************
Within the Digital World
Shintomon continues to stagger through the rocky area towards the forest where Kari and Gatomon still lies. He drops a trail of blood as he moves and supports himself with one arm on a nearby rock wall to hold himself up. Sweat and blood runs down his face.
"Hikari… Gatomon…"
Shintomon suddenly stops, with sweat dripping down his chin. His vision was now beginning to lose focus on and off.
Kari and Gatomon remained unconscious within the forest, and it was possible that they were still alive. But for long would they barely be able to keep their life forces? Only tell would tell to decide their fates.
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
D-Reaper is flying over what looked like a large village Dark Magimon looked down at D-Reaper with a questionable look.
"What's wrong? Do you see something? Hmmm, I guess it doesn't matter. D-Reaper, it's about time to start. Time for the mass destruction to begin."
The evil sorcerer cackles maniacally while D-Reaper floated in the air with a smile on her face and not even responding.
****************************************************************************************
Former site of Dark Magimon's ship.
The former battlegrounds was just as quiet and dead as ever. There hasn't been a sign of any kind of activity after D-Reaper and Magimon had left the scene. The only soul left was Shintomon, but he was far from that location.
Buddamon had just arrived at the former battler site in time. He looked around and was shocked at what he saw before him. There was a very, large crater that was embedded into the ground. His eyes started to widen in a shocked expression.
"This is bad… This is where Yamato had passed on after an attempt to destroy D-Reaper for good. But it was a failed attempt…"
He looks down in shame and gives his prayers to the fallen Digi-Destined of friendship. Just then, his eyes opened up and he quickly lifted his head up. He looks off towards the right and was beginning to pick up somebody's faint ki. It was Shintomon's ki.
"Yes! He's still alive!""
He quickly rises out from the crater and takes off into the air from above.
Meanwhile, Shintomon was struggling with ever inch of his life to make it over towards the forest that Kari and Gatomon were lying unconscious. He stops and leans against a wall, panting.
"Hi-Hikari is… still alive…"
The Supreme guardian walks over and makes a very painful step and his expression would easily tell that he was in tremendous pain.
"… I'm almost there… Hikari…"
He slowly continues right over, gasping in pain after each step he makes. After only a few steps and he goes collapsing to the ground. He lied there until he finally gave out and was breathing rather shallowly. His life essence was starting to fade away.
Buddamon races over and then makes it over towards an empty, uninhabited rocky area. He looked around with question.
"Where is he?"
He looks back and forth over the land as he flies into the distance. He flies from the rocky landscape and towards the forest. He then sees something below. He lands and goes running up a few yards up towards what seemed to be a dead animal of some sorts.
"What? Hmmm. What's that?!"
He turns and runs back towards the direction that he had come in from. He looks ahead and spots Shintomon, collapsed on the ground.
"Shintomon!"
He speeds up ahead and lands a few feet away, running up towards the body of the Supreme guardian. He then starts to shake him and attempts to revive him.
"Shintomon! Lord Shintomon!"
As soon as he said that, the Supreme guardian started to groan and slowly open his eyes, but was unable to see.
"Thank goodness! I came just in time! You almost died!"
With that said, Buddamon places his hands onto Shintomon and they started to glow a rather, gold color. Shintomon felt energy entering his body and every ounce of power he had lost coming back to him. His body was now physically becoming revived. Soon after that, all of Shintomon's injuries were healed. He opens his eyes and gasps.
Shintomon lifted himself from the ground and then looked across his surroundings in complete shock.
"Shintomon!"
"Huh? Buddamon… What's going?! Weren't you supposed to be with the others?"
Buddamon responds with a slight grin on his face. Shintomon lifts himself up and manages to stand on his two feet. He held his head and looked across the barren landscape. Suddenly, Shintomon had just now remembered something.
"Buddamon! Hikari is alive! We must get to her quick before we lose her!"
"Yes."
Shintomon goes off running towards the forest head of him with Buddamon following up closely behind him.
"We can't allow for Hikari to die! This is our chance to help train her, Daisuke and Takeru!"
"Yes, I can feel her presence," said Buddamon.
Shintomon and Buddamon flew up side by side through the air as they went to locate the bodies of both Kari and Gatomon.
"Buddamon, can you feel that enormous ki I'm sensing? That's D-Reaper's ki."
"Yes, it fills me with despair. No one in the whole digital universe can breath safely now. The thing we feared the most has now come."
Suddenly, a slight smile forms across the face of Shintomon.
"Its not completely hopeless, Buddamon. I can see a faint light of hope. I have a brilliant idea! We'll use the combined strength of Takeru and Daisuke. Hikari will get a special treatment. She's the more valuable of the three. She has the hidden potential."
"Huh? The powers of both Takeru and Daisuke? Hikari's hidden powers? What do you have in mind?"
"Thats right. If we can increase their already unimaginable power, they might be able to defeat D-Reaper! We need Hikari for this! She harnesses that great potential to become the strongest. That means even stronger than her brother."
"What did you just say?! Hikari stronger than her older brother? Don't tell me that you're going to…"
"You didn't see how truly powerful those fusion warriors were. You couldn't even imagine it."
Buddamon pauses and allows the Supreme guardian to continue on his side of the story.
"We have to find Hikari soon. Her ki is very weak as we speak, but I can feel it from that grove."
The two higher beings found the location of Kari and landed right in the middle of the forest.
"I can feel her around here!" said Shintomon.
"There he is! Over there!" Buddamon exclaimed as he pointed out.
They both looked over to see the unconscious bodies of both Kari and Gatomon on the grass. They looked rather battered and beaten. They both landed on either side of the two bodies. Buddamon bends down and takes Kari's hand. He felt a pulse from within her as well as her last remaining ki.
"She's alive. Gatomon as well. They were in about the same condition as you were."
"I'm glad we found them."
Buddamon places his hand down to heal both Kari and Gatomon, but Shintomon holds out his hand as if he were telling Buddamon to stop.
"Huh?"
"You can heal them after we get back to Zhuqiaomon's Domain and let the others know that we shall be taking these two, Takeru and Daisuke in our holy domain."
"Huh?! Don't tell me you're going to allow humans to walk on our holy grounds! Not even X or the Gate Keeper has ever stepped foot on those sacred grounds!"
"That's right. Let's hurry."
"Yes, sir."
Just as soon as he said that, a blue sphere envelops them both and they quickly vanished from out of sight.
****************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
The whole group was sitting around while planning their next move. Tai and Agumon were moving back and forth while waiting for Buddamon to arrive back.
Then, the group all turned to see a blue orb appearing out of nowhere. Shintomon and Buddamon had arrived back with both Kari and Gatomon in their arms.
"Shintomon! Buddamon!" exclaimed TK. "You brought Kari and Gatomon back! They're in bad shape!"
"Let me see her," Tai said, "We can heal her here."
"No, we have decided to transport her to the holy realm. We have decided to also bring along both Daisuke and TK."
"Huh? But what do you want with them," asked Takato.
"Its quite simple really. We came to the conclusion that Takeru and Daisuke can create a powerful combined force. We can harness their powers and allow them to bring their hidden powers forth. Maybe this way, we can somehow make them powerful enough to defeat the D-Reaper."
"Um, one question?" Davis said, "What do you need Kari and Gatomon for?"
Davis and Veemon had already de-evolved from Imperialdramon since they decided to converse their power for a later battle.
"Are they really that important to come along as well?" asked Veemon.
"As a matter of fact, they are. We can use them to increase their power through an intense training procedure. It deals with showing the abilities of their true strength."
"Wow. Ok then! I'm in!" Davis exclaimed. "Even if combining with TH is going to be harder than I can stand… I'll do it for the team!"
"Now hold on. Let's not jump into any conclusions. How long will this training last?" asked Henry, "We still have to find Calumon and deal with the D-Reaper."
"Calumon won't be hard to find. As a matter of fact, he's rather close by as we speak," Shintomon said, "But the D-Reaper will be the only problem. As long as it doesn't start its destruction, we should be fine. The most time this training will take place won't be for a year, which is actually just a whole day in the digital and real worlds."
"Wait a minute! Just like that Time chamber we entered before the War Games," Tai said.
"Yes, but this one year of training will be much more intense and extremely difficult. No one has ever survived it, but I have faith that these three Digi-Destined will get the job done."
"Alright, then. Just make sure my sister gets a strong as possible," said Tai, "And teach her the…"
"We know. The new fusion technique. We shall teach it. Takeru and Daisuke will learn with perfection," Shintomon said.
"You can rest assure that they will come back better and stronger than ever," Buddamon said.
"I'm in. If Kari is going to participate into it, I will also join her," said TK.
"And the same goes for me. Besides, I can't wait to get as strong as possible and beat the living hell out of the D-Reaper," remarked Davis.
"You guys be careful and train hard. We will be waiting for you," said Tai, "In case you need me, just have your digimon send a telepatheic message to Agumon."
"Since its long distance, it's going to cost you," replied Agumon. "Look on the bright side, I'm cheaper than collect."
"Don't worry, Tai. We'll be back faster than you can say D-Reaper," TK said.
"Wow, so you're actually better than collect?" Davis asked.
"Don't mind him," Veemon assured Agumon. "He dials collect every time."
"Doesn't he realize that I was pulling his string?"
"That's Davis for you. He always forgets."
"Lets go then," Shintomon said, "There's no time to waste."
TK and Davis nodded as they both stepped forward. Patamon and Veemon go following up towards them. As soon as they neared the two higher beings, the same blue envelope engulfed them and they vanished from out of sight.
Tai stood there while looks on ahead with a slight smirk on his face.
"Lets just hope that your training will come off well guys. I'm following forward to how great your maximum powers will be like. But I know you three won't disappointment. I wish I could have gone with ya'll, but looks like Shintomon only wants you three to come on your own."
"Tai?"
"Yeah, Agumon?"
"Don't you think its time we start to plan out our next move?"
"Your right."
"You can rest assure that your sister and your friends will do just well," Azulongmon said.
"Besides we got even bigger problems," said Zhuqiaomon.
"And what's that? The D-Reaper?" asked Guilmon.
"Not just the true enemy's form itself, but the chaos of it," replied Azulongmon.
"The chaos?!"
Suddenly, there were several red-purple bubbles rising out from the pit below. The groups looked over and were beginning to wonder why the Sovereigns would be afraid of bubbles so much.
"The true enemy is down below us," said Azulongmon, "And it's coming for us. This is one part of the true enemy."
"Aw, man! Now we got to handle two parts of the D-Reaper?" Kazu asked, "Just what we really needed! This is just like another one of those RPG video games! You meet one enemy and then you meet the next!"
"You've been playing too much Final Fantasy, dude," Kenta remarked.
"So what? I love those games!"
"Can it, game boys! The D-Reaper has two parts?" asked Henry, "But how is that possible? You mean to tell me that the actual being and the mass are two separate entities?"
"Yes and that is why it makes itself so dangerous," said Azulongmon.
"Oh no! That means that Calumon could be in some kind of danger!" exclaimed Takato, "We got to find him before the D-Reaper does!"
"I say we get down to the bottom of this. Brace yourself, Tamers."
With that said, Azulongmon forms a large, cloud and it went hovering towards the group. Each was engulfed from within the cloud.
"Do not worry. This cloud will only help navigate you through. This way you don't have to attempt to hover down into the deep pit of despair. The chaos is very dangerous, so do not attempt to touch it."
As soon as everybody entered the cloud, they went floating down into the pit below with Azulongmon and Zhuqiaomon following from behind them.
Tai looks down and was awed at what he was looking at. He couldn't believe that he was inside a cloud created by Azulongmon.
"What do you see, Tai?" Takato asked.
"Nothing yet that I see," Tai replied, "I guess we'll know we see more of the chaos bubbles."
Terriermon began to look down and had a nauseated look on his face and looked like he was about to pass out.
"Henry, this side if making my stomach queasy. I just hope we find Calumon and get the heck out of this dump."
"Well, said, Terriermon, but lets not try to get on the Sovereign's bad side."
"Agreed."
"Hey, Takatomon. You think Calumon could be down there?"
"We won't know for sure until we see him," said Takato.
The cloud continued to descend down into the pit as the Sovereigns kept an eye out for the chaos bubbles and another eye out for Calumon.
****************************************************************************************
Baihumon's Domain
Ryo and Cyberdramon were still looking down through the cracks of the pit below. They were hoping for Baihumon to have escaped the pit.
"It's all so quiet all of a sudden. But why do I still have a feeling that something bad is going to happen?" Ryo asked.
"I haven't heard a single sound. The fighting has stopped," Cyberdramon said, "But I do feel an enormous ki down in that pit below."
"You think it could be Baihumon?"
"You kids worry so much. Baihumon will do just fine on his way. Besides, he's never been defeated in this part of the western region."
"I know, but I just still have a bad feeling," said Ryo.
Just then, Baihumon had jumped right out from the pit and landed right in front of the three individuals. He looked rather worn out and tired, which wasn't like Baihumon to be after a gruesome battle. Ryo held out his D-Ark and quickly got information on him.
[Baihumon. Mega level. Western Sovereign]
"What happened to him?" Ryo asked, "He looks rather tired out! Something bad must have happened down there!"
"Oh no, Baihumon! You look rather exhausted. You should take a rest, my friend. There's no way that you can continue on your battle against the true enemy."
"I agree. This is serious! If something can do this to Baihumon, I can't imagine what it can really do to the whole digital world. I wonder who this true enemy they are speaking of."
"I say we go check it out," Cyberdramon said, "There's no pointing in us just standing around here."
"Now hold it right there! If Baihumon can be weakened by the true enemy, then you two don't even stand a chance."
"But we have to check it out. We also have a right to know what we are facing here," Ryo said, "Cyberdramon."
"Right."
Cyberdramon picks up Ryo and then goes flying down into the pit, in hopes of finding the true enemy, which was the chaos bubbles of the D-Reaper. It was the second entity from the D-Reaper after the blob mass was released from the sphere along with the D-Reaper being as well.
"If the Sovereigns fear this true enemy, then we are in deep shit,"Ryo thought.
****************************************************************************************
Down below the pits of the Digital World
Azulongmon and Zhuqiaomon were leading the cloud down into the pit below. The Tamers could only look on with awe at what they were now seeing. Several red bubbles came floating up like bubbles inside of a lava lamp.
"Is that a lava lamp?" asked Terriermon.
"No, it's you're imagination," Henry replied.
"About time you had a sense of humor, Henry."
"Terriermon…"
"I've seen this mass before," Rika said, "When the sphere of the D-Reaper was opened, but now it's…"
"It is chaos."
The whole group watched as one single bubble splattered onto a floating boulder and watched as it quickly got deleted. They all gasped in shock at what they just saw.
"Impossible! That bubble just ate that boulder like it were a hot fudge sundae!"Tai said to himself.
"What kind of a monster is the D-Reaper?"Leomon thought.
Zhuiqaomon was shocked to see this and he goes desecending down into the pit below as he let out a horrifying scream.
"Zhuqiaomon! Don't do it!" exclaimed Takato.
"You're going to get deleted if you go down there!" cried out Guilmon.
"We are positive that the true enemy might be down there and wherever the true enemy is, the catalyst isn't very far behind. As you can see, the chaos would go anywhere near the source of digivolution- the catalyst itself."
"No! Then Calumon isn't far! We have to get to him quick!" exclaimed Tai.
"Man, I feel sorry for the little guy. Everybody seems to be chasing after him most of the time," said Kenta.
"Don't worry. Calumon maybe small but he's as tough as butterscotch pudding," replied Kazu.
"I just hope you two are right," said Jeri, "I couldn't afford to seeing Calumon going away… because of the chaos…"
Just then, somebody was calling out towards them and it was none other than Ryo along with Cyberdramon. The group all looked up see to him descending down.
"Hey guys! Over here!"
"Hey! Cool! It's Ryo!" exclaimed Kazu.
"Welcome back!" said Kenta.
Sonja and Rika both looked up with distraught looks on their faces. They were visibly upset that Ryo has returned, but the others were astonished to have seen him drop in unexpectedly.
"So, you're that Ryo Akiyama guy!" exclaimed Takato.
"That's my name and don't wear it out."
As soon as Ryo and Cyberdramon came landing onto the floating boulder the group had descended upon. He looked over at the whole group and then over to the bottom of the pit.
"So, you guys saw the chaos too? It's spreading like wildfire down there. It's bad. The other sovereigns were weakened by its presence."
"This is bad," said Tai, "Not only do we have chaos trying to delete everything but the D-Reaper monster itself running around like a crazed maniac."
"And we got a good feeling that Calumon is down there with the chaos," said Henry, "We're going to have to be extra careful and not allow ourselves to get exposed to the chaos bubbles."
"Well, Rika. You sure haven't changed a bit," Ryo said teasingly.
"Ugh, typical. You left being an arrogant ass and you still are an arrogant ass."
"Don't let him get to you, Rika. You're too good for him," Sonja said, "Don't worry, I had to put up with his bullshit."
"Well, it's nice to see you too, Sonja."
"Hmph. Whatever"
Sonja turns away and turns back towards Ryo. The group looked down to see a fiery being rising up from the pits and it was none other than Zhuqiaomon. He had returned, but with a weakened left wing. It looked as though the chaos had eaten parts of his left wing.
"I couldn't find the catalyst. The chaos was blocking my path and I couldn't allow myself to get exposed to it," Zhuqiaomon said.
"There's no way that you could have overcome it. Its a lot more powerful than you ever gave it credit for. The catalyst is perhaps at the very bottom and out of our reach. Our only hope is for the catalyst to come to us instead of trying to get to him," Azulongmon said.
Down below into the pit, Calumon was attempting to climb up as fast as he was gazing down at the bottom where the chaos mass was bubbling up.
"Those pretty little bubbles are pretty dangerous. I better stay on this side and make sure that it doesn't get me," said Calumon, "I really hate climbing up. Its making my feet hurt."
As soon as he started to climb up more, more and more of the chaos bubbles started to rise up in masses.
***************************************************************************************
Azulongmon quickly noticed more bubbles coming up from the pit and was starting to worry over the fact that the catalyst is in danger of being deleted.
"The chaos is spreading so fast! I fear for the catalyst's survival. He is needed to bring forth digivolution within our world. We can not afford to have him swallowed by the heartless mass."
With that said, Azulongmon pushed aside the levitating boulder which the Tamers were standing on and made sure that the floating chaos bubbles wouldn't absorb their resort spot.
"Whew! That was close! Thanks for saving our necks there," said Takato.
"And here I thought we would almost have been goners," Tai said.
"Alright. Its time for action! I think I'll be the one who should go down there and save Calumon," said Takato.
"What are you crazy?!" asked Tai, "You know that the chaos will get to you if you're not careful."
"But I have to at least try."
"He's right. It's too risky. Plus there's no guarantee that you could come back alive," said Henry, "If the chaos touches you, you'll be erased."
"Then in that case! We'll do it!" Rika exclaimed.
With that said, Rika goes jumping off of the floating boulder and sliding down a ridge where she landed on several stone steps that were linked against the rock wall.
"Rika! Don't!" exclaimed Takato.
"Rika! Get back here! You're risking it!" Jeri cried out.
Suddenly to the whole group's surprise, Takato goes following right after Rika.
"Takato! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Tai cries out.
"I have to try and stop her! You guys make sure that the chaos doesn't touch that boulder you're standing on! I'll be back!"
With that said, Takato and Guilmon go sliding down right after Rika. Rika goes walking towards the edge of the pit below while still holding their balance on the rock ledge.
"Rika. We have to go back," Renamon said.
"No. We have got to find Calumon and get the heck out of here," Rika replied.
"I understand that, but what you are doing is writing your own death warrant. I can't afford losing you. Please listen to me, just this once."
"Look, Renamon. I have to do this. Whether it costs me my own life or not, we have to get Calumon back. The Sovereigns need him and that's what we are going to do."
"Rika! Rika! Can you hear me?!" a voice called out.
"Goggle head?"
They both turned around to see none other than Guilmon and Takato running up towards them.
"Rika?! Just what do you think you're doing? You're going to get yourself killed down here," said Takato, "We have to go back up…"
"No…"
"Rika, why?"
"Why should I, goggle head? Look, Calumon is down there and he's going to die if the chaos captures him. So we took it to our own liberty by retrieving him ourselves."
"But, then you're willing to get yourself killed?"
"Look. I don't need any knights in shining armor to come and rescue me. I can handle this myself. I don't need anybody's assistance."
"But, Rika…"
"No buts! Lets go, Renamon."
"Rika, don't do this… I'm begging you."
"I said, let's go."
Renamon sighs unwillingly as she goes following her Tamer. Takato looks down and sees more bubbles rising from the pit. Then he turned to see several coming right towards Rika.
"Rika! Get down!"
"What?"
Takato goes running up to Rika and pushes her away just seconds before the chaos bubbles were about to touch her. The two children looked up to see the bubbles rising into the air. Rika sighed a relief and looks up at Takato.
"Well, aren't you going to say thanks for saving your life?"
"Like I said before, I don't need knights in shi-"
"Hello?! Is anybody up there?! Echo! Echo!"
The two Tamers looked down at the pit below and saw something ascending to the top by climbing the rock wall. The creature turned out to be white with purple markings and rather, large eyes.
"Is that Calumon?" Takato asked, "Ah! It is him! He's alive!"
"Takato? Guilmon?"
"Calumon!" Rika exclaimed, "Over here!"
"Rika!"
The little digimon goes flying up to Rika and she quickly snatches him and hugs him. Calumon returns a hug to the red-haired girl with a smile on his face. He was happy to have returned to his friends once again.
"Oh, Rika! I'm so glad to see you guys! I was so cold, hungry and lonely!"
"I know. I know. Everything is going to be ok," Rika assured him. "Takato. We got Calumon."
"Thank goodness. He's still kicking. Ok then, now we can get back to the others," said Takato, "Rika? Um, Rika? Hello? Earth to Rika?"
The girl looks down at the pit below and noticed a large, purple pool of the chaos itself. It was similar to the slime from the Ghostbusters movie. Her eyes started to glisten at the sight of it.
"Takato…"
"Yeah, Rika?"
"I want you to take Calumon and join the others."
"What? What are you saying? No, don't tell me."
"We have something we need to do. Renamon and I will stop the chaos. You guys go on! We'll take care of the problem here!"
"But Rika! Just listen yourself! You're going to get yourself killed!"
"No. Just listen to me. I have everything under control. Just go and let us handle this," Rika said as she handed Takato the little digimon.
"But, Rika…"
"Don't say another word, goggle head. Just go."
As soon as she said that, Rika goes sliding down the rock wall and lands onto the last rock ledge below. Renamon goes sliding down right after her and grabs Rika by the arm.
"Rika. Go back."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Rika. For once, please, I'm begging you to listen to me. One more step and you're falling into sudden death. You're not going to survive this."
"Renamon. We all each have our own destinies, right?"
"Yes. Each of us has a different destiny. Whether it maybe for the best or the worst. It depends on your judgment."
"Well, my destiny… is to stay and fight with you, Renamon…"
With that said, a smile forms across Rika's face as she goes leaping off of the ledge and falling down onto the chaos mass below. Renamon went flying after her, as if she were following Rika's destiny. Takato cried out in horror at what they were about to commit.
"Rika! Renamon!"
"I can't watch, Takatomon!"
The other Tamers were looking on with shock on their faces. They weren't going to afford losing another valuable soul. They had just lost Matt, and couldn't afford losing the Digimon Queen herself.
But just as they were about to panic, the red-diamond on Calumon's forehead started to glow. He let out a excited cry and watched as both Rika and Renamon's bodies starting to glow a golden color.
Rika looks down and noticed her D-Ark reacting and she felt her heart beating like there was no tomorrow, as if there was a new rush of energy coming out of her. Renamon felt her ki rising to new heights. Now they were about to merge into one body and one mind.
[Digimon Tamers Second Evolution theme "One Vision" plays]
Bio-Merge Evolution!
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Rika holds out her D-Ark and presses it against her chest. It released a bright, blue light and it started to surround her body. Her hair was let loose and she had now become a stream of data. Renamon and Rika were merging with one another.
"Renamon bio-merge!"
Renamon was standing on top of water and it started to rise above her, which quickly transformed her vulpine-like body into that of a human's. Her fox-like limbs were transformed into that of a human's. High-heel boots replaced her feet. Long silver-hair was flowing on her back. Then streams of golden energy were flowing over her body, which created a whole new body for her. Armor appeared on her chest, arms, legs and face. Her face evolves from that of Renamon, then into Kyuubimon, followed by Taomon and finally into that of a mask-like face. The mask retained some of Renamon's fox features and underneath her mask looked like to be a lower jaw of that of a woman. A staff appears in her hands and she quickly leaps up into the air. The newly evolved figure stands in the center of a circle and stands in a rather mysterious yet beautiful pose.
"Sakuyamon!"
Inside of Sakuyamon, Rika felt herself all warm and cozy as if she were now inside of Sakuyamon. A smile formed across her face while her long, red hair was flowing as if the wind were blowing around her.
"So this is how fusion follows? Wow, I feel so strong. We are Sakuyamon. I'm Sakuyamon. I must be dreaming, but this is no dream. We are one."
Sakuyamon looked across towards the chaos with a rather serious look on her face.
Takato and Guilmon looked on with surprise and their eyes almost bulging out of their eyes.
"Wow! I can't believe it," said Takato, "Rika and Renamon bio-merged? Well, I'll be darned."
"They look so beautiful," said Guilmon.
"Yeah. Very beautiful," replied Calumon. "They're almost as beautiful as an angel."
Takato replies by nodding his head and having a smirk across his face.
"Make that a gorgeous angel, Calumon," Takato said in thought.
The others were looking on with surprise and shock at what they were seeing before them. Henry took out his D-Ark and was getting a reading on Sakuyamon, plus her statistics.
[Sakuyamon. Mega-Level. Shaman data type. Special Attacks: Kongou Kaimandara, Spirit Strike and Dragon Helix.]
"I can't believe it! Rika and Renamon bio-emerged!" said Henry. "Now we have about four fusion fighters on our sides."
"Which also includes me," Tai said.
"What an incredible ki!" said Agumon, "She just about has the same ki level as Gallantmon possessed."
Sakuyamon sets her staff down and looks down upon the chaos below her feet. As soon as the chaos was starting to rise again, she held her staff and started to chant out.
"I Sakuyamon, protector of all things true will do our duty."
Sakuyamon goes hovering up into the air and a bright pink aura forms all over. She holds down her staff and points it forwards to the rising chaos mass.
"River of chaos! O' red sea of destruction follow my voice and fell the twin blaze of beauty…"
She goes pulling back on her staff and swipes right through the chaos mass. Then she pulls back and swipes through it once again.
"…and of death…"
Sakuyamon raises her staff over her head and hammered the chaos down into the pit below with one hard blow.
"…and fall before my light!"
Sakuyamon lets out a scream and the aura around her started to release a bright beam of light. The bright beam now covered the whole pit and the other Tamers were quickly astonished at what theyw ere seeing before them.
"She rocks," Kazu commented.
"Rika and Renamon have bio-emerged into mega," said Henry.
"Takato? Are you okay?" asked Sakuyamon.
"Yeah. We're fine. But thanks for saving our necks there."
Sakuyamon looks across him and the others with a slight smirk on her face.
"It was nothing..."
Sakuyamon snatched up both Takato and Guilmon and flies up over to where the others were waiting. The cloud carried off the group back over onto the surface with Sakuyamon and the two sovereigns following along.
"Excellent work, Tamers. You see, Zhuqiaomon? Digimon and humans working together have proven to be quite a useful tactic against the true enemy. What do you think?"
"Well, they have shown me that they have what it takes to defeating the true enemy. I never shouldn't have underestimated them, but that doesn't mean I will change my views about humans."
As soon as the Tamers departed from the cloud and were back on the surface, Sakuyamon had already de-evolved into Rika and Renamon. The group crowded around her and were complementing her.
"That was awesome, Rika! I never thought you ever had that in you," said Takato.
"Neither did I. I was surprised myself."
"So, how did it feel?" asked Jeri, "It must been quite an experience."
"It felt… powerful… Renamon and I were of one mind. Since our hatred for the D-Reaper has been building up, we took it to our liberty to taking out that red mass with everything we got."
"The good news is that we got Calumon back," said Takato.
"Whew. Thank goodness," Terriermon said, "I need a hot bath after all this."
"Awww, home," Kenta said.
"Where all the bread is," replied Guilmon.
"Not to mention the beds to sleep in," Tai replied.
"Hey! We're missing out on Battle City! Man!" Kenta stated.
Suddenly, there was a large explosion and a red liquid mass exploded from the pit below. The digimon all turned to face the chaos and were growling. Agumon and Guilmon faced the chaos with intense looks on their faces.
"It's the chaos! They only delayed it progress, but now it's going out of control," Zhuqiaomon replied.
"Tamers, this is a battle that you can not win alone. We must handle the chaos ourselves. This is our battle. You have to return back to your world as soon as possible," said Azulongmon.
"But the D-Reaper is still in the Digital! We have to stop it before something terrible happens! We just can't leave," Tai said.
"He's right, Azulongmon. The D-Reaper is out there and even you four sovereign can't beat him. Three of the Supreme guardians were defeated by the D-Reaper. Ever thought about that," Takato said.
"Please listen to us. If you battle the D-Reaper, then you are signing your own death warrant."
The two sovereigns looked down upon the group with concerned looks on their faces. Would they really face something strong enough to have defeated three of the Supreme guardians single-handedly? This would be a really tough decision, even for the Sovereigns.
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
The D-Reaper is seen bursting through a tower after feasting on several digimon data. She quickly absorbs the last of their data and licks her lips.
"I want more! I want more!"
"Damn. I never realized how much of a glutton this creature turned out to be. Maybe my father made a miscalculation in her design," Dark Magimon thought.
"Master Magimon! Where shall we go next?"
"Um, I think we passed by another village. There are plenty of more pests to be absorbed."
"Just like taking candy from a digi-baby! These data packs are my candy! I want more!"
"Yes, eat up while you can, Big Bertha," the sorcerer thought.
With that said, D-Reaper walked out from the tower and dusts herself off. Dark Magimon hops onto D-Reaper's cape and holds on tightly for another bumpy ride. D-Reaper blasted off through the skies to continue her rampage through the digital world. She was unaware of the events taking place. She might soon deal with the combined forces of Daisuke and Takeru, along with Hikari soon.
Looking on from on top of a nearby cliff, Beelzebumon watched the events unfold. His eyes widened by the mass destruction the playful monster created. He clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't bear to stand another powerful force top him.
"Just what is this? So this is the little imp's monster? Magimon finally released that creature. I can't believe the ki I sensed from that thing. Well, maybe I can redeem myself after that humiliating defeat I suffered. Magimon. You just gave me a guaranteed ticket to success. Look out! Here I come!"
With that said, Beelzebumon levitates up with very little ki he had left. He then powers up and flies off towards the direction D-Reaper was taking. He plans on taking on the D-Reaper to redeem for the loss at the hands of Gallantmon.
Will the Sovereigns listen to the pleads of the Tamers and prepare themselves for the upcoming threat that is the D-Reaper? And can Shintomon trains Davis, Kari and TK as soon as possible?!
[Digimon Tamers second ending theme "Days ~Aijou to Nichijou" plays]
[Preview]
Azulongmon: We must release the power of evolution! Calumon! As the catalyst, it is your duty! Please, release the power of shining evolution!
Takato: Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Tai: I never thought I'd see this…

The Digi-World Announcement: Time to Release Shining Evolution! Shintomon's Special Training!
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
The two mighty sovereigns were hovering over the deep pit and looked down to watch the pool of the chaos starting to sprout. Their biggest fears have now come into being. There would be almost nothing that they could do. Not even all four of the sovereigns have enough power to defeat the D-Reaper chaos mass, let alone the D-Reaper being itself. The being killed the three Supreme guardians.
The group looks right up to the two hovering giants with concerned looks on their faces. Tai and Takato were the most concerned since their fear of seeing digimon getting deleted by a corrupted former computer program. What they hated seeing more than the D-Reaper was bearing to watch digimon having their lives taken away for no apparent reason.
Azulongmon and Zhuqiaomon both took a look down at the pit below with angry looks on their faces. A fountain of pinkish-purple liquid busted out as if it were a geyser but Zhuqiaomon was easily able to avoid it. The fountain went back down as the two sovereigns began to speak to one another once again.
"This had gone far enough! I want to do something to stop this chaos but every time I attempt to get closer to it, I keep telling myself that I will get deleted. Azulongmon, is there anything we can do?"
"Hmmmm. Since the chaos is indeed spreading, there might be a good chance of using the catalyst to our advantage."
"So, you're saying that we should tell the catalyst to unleash his power of digivolution for the digimon?"
"Yes. In order to battle the true enemy, we will need a very strong and powerful army."
"Azulongmon, so are you saying that you need Calumon?" asked Takato.
"Yes. It is the only way to give us a slight advantage. The catalyst will need to release every ounce of power that he has within him. I can sense a great ki from the catalyst and if used correctly, we will have an army strong enough to combat the D-Reaper."
"Yes. The time has come to fight back. Tamers, we will need the catalyst. This maybe the one way to escape this hell hole."
"If you really need Calumon that bad, then it must be very important for you sovereigns. After all, we do share one common enemy," Tai assured them. "We'll be the ones that takes care of the being itself."
"While do what you can to ridding yourselves of the chaos mass, we'll handle the actual D-reaper," said Takato, "In the end, we will come out victorious in this struggle."
"Lets just hope that your correct about everything that you had just said," replied Azulongmon, "Tamers it is time. Time to unleash the power of digivolution."
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
D-Reaper carries Dark Magimon over a rather, large city.
"Hey, D-Reaper, where do you think you're going?"
D-Reaper grins while looking back and forth the city, humming to herself and ignoring Dark Magimon. D-reaper then dives towards the ground, while Dark Magimon screams as the D-Reaper plunges down onto the city below. She maneuvers in between a few buildings and lands in the middle of the street below. Magimon falls off of her back and lands behind her. Suddenly a Dogmon comes rushing by and bumps right into D-Reaper.
"Grrr! Move out of the way! Idiot!"
D-Reaper quickly frowns and gives Dogmon a death glare.
"Analyzation complete. Dogmon, you shall be deleted."
"Delete me? Try me!"
D-Reaper wrenches back with her right fist intact. Dogmon gives a confused look on his face and then watches as D-Reaper pulls back and snatches Dogmon into a tight grasp with her hand. Dogmon gags as D-Reaper puts the pressure and uses her strength to snap Dogmon's neck in two. As soon as that happened, Dogmon was quickly deleted and D-Reaper absorbs his energy. Digimon were beginning to crowd around but then they started to run away after what D-Reaper had just done to Dogmon. D-Reaper then began to walk right through the city, as everyone scattered. Dark Magimon goes running up to catch up to D-Reaper.
"Hey, where are you going?! Hey, D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper stops in place as Dark Magimon steps into view. The evil sorcerer forms an orb in his hands and starts chanting some magical verses in order to get the orb to start working.
"Alright, this duplicate of my special magical orb should do for now. How about we send a message throughout the entire digital world to let them know who they are dealing with?"
D-Reaper simply shrugs her shoulder and looks about the city full of digimon. A grin forms across her face. Dark Magimon watches as the orb manages to see an image coming into view. An evil grin forms across his face.
"You ready, D-Reaper? Lets get this over with! I hope those nosey Tamers are listening! I want them to know whom we are and what we plan to do to their pathetic digital worlds!"
He starts talking so loud that the whole digital world could hear their voices and Magimon's magic manages to send a transmission to every part of the digital world, including the domains of the four sovereigns.
Beelzebumon looks while hiding behind a pair of tall stones. He managed to lower hi ki before he would be detected.
"All right, what's the deal here? They just stopped here. What are they planning?"
***************************************************************************************
Zhuqiaomon's Domain
"Children it is now time to give us the catalyst. The time has come to fight back against the true enemy."
But just as Azulongmon was about to finish on what he was saying, one of his digicores started to receive a transmission from none other Dark Magimon. He also cuts cut off by Magimon's voice. It was so loud that it could be heard throughout the digital world.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
"Can you hear my voice? Can you hear me now? Good! Digimon of both digital worlds, I am Madoshi Magimon. However, you can just call me Dark Magimon!"
The entire group looked around their surroundings to find the source of the voice, but the digimon knew that the evil sorcerer was sending them a transmission.
"Tai! Look! I can see Magimon on one of Azulongmon's digicores! He's sending a transmission from there."
"How dare this damn sorcerer send a transmission through my digicores. Lets see what he wants."
"It won't do you any good to try to find me. I am using my magic to send you this message through transmission on each nearby orb, if you happen to possess. Tamers! Sovereigns! I hope your listening! This pertains mainly to you!"
"Grr! Just what we need! He's responsible for all of this!" growled Rika.
"I'm sorry to disturb your peace, but something awful happened to me, because of four fools! I'm looking for these fools!"
Suddenly, images of Imperialdramon, Dinobeemon, Rika and Renamon showed up on the orb. This caused the group to panic somewhat. Rika and Renamon could only look on angrily.
"Can you see these four?! I'm looking for them! Come to me! They should know themselves if they don't come to me! Let me introduce myself. I am the terrifying Dark Magimon! Ok, I just introduced myself again! Damn! Ok, onto business. This individual standing next to me is your worst nightmare, among both humans and digimon alike. This is the D-Reaper! She's the champion of the digital universe and don't let her appearance deceive you. As you probably don't know, there are two separate entities of the D-Reaper, the being stand next to me and the chaos mass! D-Reaper is very powerful. There's no one that could beat her. Nothing. Nobody. Got that?"
Just then, the image on the orb changes view with both Magimon and D-Reaper standing in front of a city.
"Can you see this city? I'll show you what will happen if those culprits don't show themselves!"
Leomon looks on with a shocked expression on his face. Now the Tamers were becoming angry yet horrified. Tai could only stand so much while clenching his fists.
"Don't do it!" exclaimed Tai, "Don't you dare do it!"
"I don't like to jabber too much, so I'll kill all of these poor digimon and wipe them out clean. D-Reaper, if you please…"
Dark Magimon was now pointing to the sky through the orb. D-Reaper smiles and holds out her hands. Suddenly, every digimon start to levitate and float up right into the air. They began to scream and cry out for help. Tai's eyes twitch as he watches the scenery of horror.
"That rat bastard!"
"You all shall be deleted. You have served your purpose but now its time to disappear. The extinction of digimon shall start now."
With that said, D-Reaper fires a red beam and it simultaneously hits the entire population within the city. They quickly disappear and all explode into data.
The group cries out in the shock, even the sovereigns were surprised at what they were seeing. One single force had just taken out an entire population of digimon in one full swoop.
D-Reaper the began to absorb each of the floating data that she can and felt his energy increasing after every amount of data that enters her body. She lets out a satisfying sigh while Dark Magimon points over to her.
"This is what will happen to every digital life form on the two digital worlds! You better show yourselves before we wipe out every trace of digimon that there is and there's nothing you can do to stop me, sovereigns! This is your last chance! Ta-Ta!"
With that said, Dark Magimon ended his transmission. There was now a mixed reaction amongst the group. Some looked rather scared, others were upset and few were infuriated like never before. Among those humans infuriated were Tai, Takato, Ryo and Henry.
"I can't believe he just did that! They have to be stopped!" exclaimed Henry.
"So, he wants to play this little cruel game? Well, we're going to give him a cruel game of our own!" Ryo said.
"What until he gets a load of Gallantmon! Just you wait and see!" growled Takato.
"Damn those bastards! I don't know about you but you have no idea of how pissed off I am now," said Tai, "That Magimon is number one on my 'Kick his ass' list!"
"That is why we need the catalyst now. Tamers. Behold the power of digivolution. Calumon, we ask for you to help us," Azulongmon said.
"Yeah? Do you need something?" Calumon asked.
"Yes. We need the source of your power that will enable the digimon from throughout the digital world to digivolve stronger enough to battle the D-Reaper mass. I have great confidence that the chaos mass is weaker than the being itself. We might still have a chance," said Zhuqiaomon.
"That is why we really need your help. Calumon, you are the true source of digivolution and you were placed into the form of a digimon, in order to seal your power and make it hard for others to find your true form. Not even Dark Magimon knows of your power, so it gave us a chance. Calumon, will you help us and release your power of digivolution."
"Well, you did ask me so kindly. Here it goes."
[Dragonball Z Genki Dama theme plays]
Calumon goes flying up towards the two sovereigns. Just then, Ebonwumon and Baihumon had soon arrived on time.
"So are we late?" asked Baihumon, "I just finished watching Magimon commit such a foul act! I can't bear to see him any longer. We put an end to this whole ordeal."
"I'll never get any rest due to this tru enemy always emerging to take away our homes," Ebonwumon.
"It will be long before you ever have a good sleep my friend. But we can assure that the catalyst will cooperate," Zhuqiaomon said.
"Calumon, it is time to unleash your powers. Its time to reveal the power of digivolution itself"
"Tai! I'm sensing a great power coming from the little guy. Its enormous," said Agumon.
"He's about to unleash the power of digivolution. Calumon is the source that will enable the digimon throughout the digital world to evolve into their strongest forms and combat against the D-Reaper."
"Leomon. Does that mean we'll have a chance against the D-Reaper?" Jeri asked.
"Yes for now. We still have to worry about the being itself. But I have a good feeling that even Dark Magimon will lose control of D-Reaper and that creature will eventually turn on its own sorcerer."
The group watched as Calumon levitated up into the air and was hovering in between a large diamond-like structure as all four sovereigns stood at their respective spots.
"Calumon. It is time. Time to unleash the power of digivolution."
"All right… Here goes nothing…"
Suddenly, just as Calumon covered his eyes and cupped his tiny little hands together, the little red diamond on his forehead started to float up and glow a gather, crimson red color.
"I can feel its power. It's so warm and fuzzy. It feels so good, like as if I were about to share. That Azulongmon is very nice, and I'm not going to disappointment him."
The four sovereigns watched as Calumon was hovering and the red crystal started to release a bright aura of energy. A group of DigiGnomes started to fly around Calumon, as if they were helping them release the light. The Tamers could only look on in awe.
"Shining Digivolution!"
As soon as he said that, a bright rainbow started to shoot out from the crystal and hovers from the skies above. Each light was now spreading to all directions throughout the whole digital world.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing," Wormmon said, "Too bad, Davis, TK and Kari aren't seeing this."
"I know what you mean. This is incredible!" replied Ken.
"I've never seen anything like this before," said Tai, "Agumon, you sense that energy?"
"Yeah. It's tremendous. Its more than enough to turn almost every digimon in this world into mega-level forms."
"You got to be kidding me?! All of that power within just one catalyst? Unreal…"
Ryo turned his attention towards the blue-haired young man named Ken. Ryo looked like as if he had seen a ghost.
"I could have sworn that I've seen this guy before. My memories are way too cloudy. How can I not remember? Only time will tell until I remember."
Soon, every digimon in the digital were soon affected, with the exception of the human's digimon partners. Everyone from the Clockmon and the Hagurumon, and others such as Gekomon and the Chuchidarumon. Each of their bodies started to glow as they were beginning to digivolve.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Dark Magimon looked around as he felt an enormous amount of ki growing. He knew that the four Sovereigns were up to something, but he does not realize what they had in store for the sorcerer.
"What are those fools planning? Ha! Do they really think that an army of buffoons can stand in our way?! What a joke! D-Reaper will wipe them out! Are you ready for a second helping?"
D-Reaper silently looked on towards the direction towards the Sovereign's scared land. She sported that same childish grin since hatching from the ball.
Beelzebumon was stunned by the increasing ki. He felt this same ki after receiving the power-up from Zhuqiaomon. He knew that the Sovereigns were going to round up an army to help ward off the D-Reaper.
"I think we've seen enough site-seeing, D-Reaper. Let us continue on our rampage."
"Yeah! Rampage is so fun!"
****************************************************************************************
Suddenly, the Chryalismon were soon beginning to glow and started to merge together. Three separate entities were formed from the swarm of the Chryalismon, as they digivolved into three Diaboromon.
***************************************************************************************
Center of the four Sovereign Land
Calumon was still hovering and giving off more of his digivolution light for all the digimon throughout the digital world. The group was still looking on in great awe and anticipation.
Suddenly, there was now a swarm of megas appearing from the skies above. The Tamers all looked up and were shocked at what they were seeing. They managed to pull out their D-Arks, but Kazu quickly was able to recognize them.
"Oh man! Look at that! Grankuwagumon! Plesiomon! Boltmon!"
"No kidding! There's Metalseadramon, Machinedramon, Phoenixmon and Gryphonmon! Unbelievable!" exclaimed Kenta.
"No kidding! Everyone of them is a mega," said Takato, "He did it. Calumon did it."
"I thought I never see this day," Tai said, "Hey! It's Metalseadramon and Machinedramon!"
"Don't worry, Tai. These are the not same goons from Burizalor's squadron," Agumon assured, "They're on our side."
"Whew. I was beginning to panic there, but oh well."
"Caulmon used his power to digivolve them all to mega, so that they can help combat against the D-Reaper mass," said Henry.
"I gotta hand it to the little guy. He sure has a lot of fuel in that tank," Terriermon remarked.
"So, beautiful," Jeri said.
"This should be more than enough to beat the D-Reaper mass. What we're here to take care of is the D-Reaper being itself," Rika said, "Magimon released the monster and we're going to put the screws on those two!"
"I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that little creep," Sonja said, "I don't know who to hate even more… Magimon or Ryo… That's simple…"
Ryo looks over at Sonja and rolls his eyes in displeasure. Sonja returns with a devious smirk and turns her back on him.
"What a dork. I'm surprised he's not being his usual cocky self,"Rika said to herself. "But then again, this battle is very serious."
"Ken? What are you looking at?"
Ken turned his attention to Ryo. He, too, looked like if he had seen a ghost. Did he know Ryo from the past? He remembered a boy that looked similar to Ryo during his first adventure into the digital world. It was just before he was planted by the dark spore and became the evil Digimon Kaiser.
"I've seen that boy's face, but where have I seen him before?"
Soon Calumon was finished releasing his shining evolution and felt his body becoming worn out. He closes his eyes and the goes flying down toward the Tamers. Rika goes over and catches Calumon in her arms.
"Ooo, so tired…"
"Calumon, you're my hero," Rika teasingly said.
"Really?"
"Really, truly," remarked Guilmon.
A faint smile comes across Calumon's face as he shuts his eyes once again and falls into a very deep sleep.
"What happened to Calumon?" Jeri asked.
"Don't worry. He's just worn out after releasing that amount of energy. He should be fine after a while," said Tai.
"Tai. Since, we're the only two Digi-Destined here, shouldn't we like find a way to find the other D-Reaper?"
"You know something, Ken. You're right. But we really need to wait for TK, Kari and Davis to get back from that training. Plus, we can't stay here if the sovereigns are fighting against the D-Reaper's chaos."
"You are correct. Tamers, it is time for you to depart from this part of the digital world. I have a good feeling that the true enemy's other form is finding a way into the other digital world with Dark Magimon. We will handle this battle ourselves," Azulongmon said.
Zhuqiaomon goes flying down towards the group and looks down upon each of the digimon. Those digimon are Cyberdramon, Guilmon, Terriermon, Guardromon, Lopmon, Renamon, Agumon, Calumon and Wormmon.
"You digimon still disgust me for choosing to be with these humans and claim to be their partners. However, I will respect your decisions otherwise. Now go and aid your partners into battle against the true enemy's being form. We're counting on you."
Lopmon goes bowing before the fiery sovereign, in order to show her last respects before her departure.
"Thank you, my sovereign."
Terriermon goes jumping right in front of Lopmon and waves over to Zhuqiaomon with a smirk on his face.
"Thanks, Zhuster!"
"Oh no!" Henry said, "Here we go again. We better get going before Terriermon becomes a pot roast."
"Well, at least, Zhuqiaomon isn't in a bad mood anymore," Takato replied.
"Yeah, but he might have very well made Zhuqiaomon made already. Lets get out of here before he fries Terriermon into steak."
Just then, Kenta was about to catch up towards the others until he heard a loud screaming and a crash behind him. He turns and walks over towards the impact. He looked down and noticed something pink with a long tail.
"Hey, what's this digimon?"
Kenta pulls the little digimon out and faces forward to see a pint-sized digimon with a long tail, flipper limbs and long ears. It looked like a marine mammal of some sorts but it was floating in the air and there was a heart embedded on its chest.
"Okay! There's no way there you're a mega!"
"Heh. Wrong again, Kenta," Rika said as she pulls out her D-Ark to get a full profile on him.
[Marineangemon. Mega-Level. Special Attack: Kahuna Waves]
Marineangemon goes flying around Kenta happily and jumps right into his arms. He looks down and notices that it was hugging him while purring to itself.
"Hey. I'm not your Tamer, little guy. You're a free digimon. Go with your friends. They need you."
Marineangemon looks down with a sad look and goes flying away over towards the sovereigns. Kenta sighs to himself.
"Poor, little guy. Maybe I should have given him a chance. But I'm sure he serves a purpose as far as fighting off the D-Reaper is concerned."
Kenta goes running up towards his comrades and joins up with them as they were setting of to depart.
"Ok, guys. We'll let the sovereigns handle this. We have to go and stop the D-Reaper from entering the other digital world," Tai said, "We can't afford having the other endangered by its destructive power."
"But how will we if we don't know any digital portals out of here?" asked Ken.
"He's got a point," Takato said.
"Tamers. The nearest digital vortex can be located over where you started. You might not remember it well, but you will see a green energy field appearing above from the skies. It opens and closes temporarily. There is no other digital portal but that one. Make sure that the D-Reaper never reaches. You must conceal your powers to prevent the D-Reaper from locating you."
The group all nodded in agreement to the eastern sovereign's words.
"Alright, gang! What are we waiting for? We got ourselves some time in our hands. One of us can go out and distract the D-Reaper or something until one of us stands guard at the digital vortex," said Kazu.
"Hold on a minute. I think there should be only one that should go out there and fight the D-Reaper," Tai said, "And that would be me."
The group all gasped at his announcement while Takato and Rika were seemingly supporting his decision.
"Dude, were you just knocked on the head or something? You heard what the sovereigns said. Not even three of the Supreme guardians were unable to defeat him. What makes you think that Omega X can stand up against the likes of D-Reaper," Kenta said.
"You sure have a lot of confidence in yourself, Tai," Henry said, "You must have some sort of plan up your sleeve."
"Well, actually. I don't."
The group looked over at him with widened-eye expressions, but Tai still retained that same confident grin on his face.
"Tai. I know you a little better than the Tamers," Ken said, "But aren't you being a little too overconfident here. I mean. Omega X hasn't actually fought against the D-Reaper just yet."
"Well, that might be true. But I've got something in store for the D-Reaper. Just you wait and see."
"Get out of here. You're jerking our chain, Tai. I know you are," Kazu said.
"No, I'm pretty dead serious. I'm not bullshitting."
They all stopped with looks of surprise all across their faces. Takato and Rika nodded and shared the same confident grin.
"If you really think you can handle this on your own, then you should go for it," said Takato.
"Yeah. Go for it. Take that piece of crap out. Its time to fight fire with fire," replied Rika.
"Takatomon. We're ready whenever you are."
"We're ready. Lets go."
Azulongmon sends down another cloud over to the entire group as each of them were engulfed. As soon as everyone a boarded the cloud, they were now being drifted away.
"Tamers, take my digicore. This will enable you to see what the D-Reaper and Dark Magimon are planning to attack next. Good luck on your journey home. Goodbye, Tamers."
The cloud containing the Tamers was slowly drifting away out away from the land of the digimon sovereigns, as they began their plans to attack the chaos.
Tai looks out towards the digicore with a serious look on his face. As soon as the image of both D-Reaper and Dark Magimon were shown, his face became as intense-looking as ever. He cracked his knuckles and looks towards Agumon, who shared the same expression.
***************************************************************************************
Someplace within the Digital World
Clouds were drifting over a nearby digimon city, while several automobiles were sitting on the street. There were no signs of any digital life forms, not even a single digimon left in this part of the city. Dark Magimon's voice breaks up the sudden silence.
"If those fools don't show themselves, D-Reaper will delete everyone."
Now the whole city was empty and there was not a single digital life form left. Dark Magimon and D-Reaper stand on a cliff overlooking the city.
"Well then, now that no one lives in this city, there's no reason for it to exist, is there?"
D-Reaper replied by nodding her head. Magimon grins maniacally.
"Well then, I guess we should clean up the mess. Clean it up, D-Reaper. Don't work too hard or you'll destroy the digital world."
D-Reaper smiles and holds up her fists with triumph.
"Yes! Yes!"
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
The Tamers could only look on with sheer anger while watching D-Reaper's actions through the digicore that Azulongmon had given to them Tai stood there while clenching his fists.
"He's getting too damn overconfident," said Tai.
Takato and Rika stood there looking at the orb. Guilmon and Renamon were clenching their teeth with sheer rage. The others just stood around silent.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Through the orb's image, D-Reaper pulls back as she began to absorb the data of every single digimon that she had defeated within the city. Tons of red streams of data go entering her body as she began to glow and become fully energized. Dark Magimon goes hiding behind some rocks to protect himself from being absorbed by D-Reaper. He looks on happily and sheer excitement. Now the city was lost behind a large cloud of dust as soon as she got done absorbing the last of the data. The city comes back into view and it is now left with devastation. Dark Magimon turns around grinning.
"Maybe its too dusty now. I'll tell you one more time. I want those four that I just mentioned to come to me!"
Leomon clenched his teeth and an angry glare makes up his frustration at the situation. Ken was standing there while clenching his fists and Wormmon looked none to happy either. Tai, on the other hand, was silent.
D-Reaper does another little dance in the background while Dark Magimon continues to speak.
"I know what your planning Sovereigns. You're newly digivolved army is still no match for my father's creation. You're just signing each of them a death warrant. It's okay. That's just more lamb being through to the slaughter. Tell me where those four are now, if you don't want to be dead and absorbed by my D-Reaper."
Leomon clenches his fists but was trying to keep himself under control, since Jeri was standing next to him and doesn't want to frighten her.
"By the way! I'm going to kill every digimon in five days, so you'd better tell me fast."
As soon as he gave his ultimatum, D-Reaper pops up in the background giving off an evil smirk while the evil sorcerer laughed maniacally.
Tai looks right over towards Ken and Wormmon.
"Don't forget, we're all together on this one, Ken."
Ken and Leomon began to relax slightly and Tai turns away from them to turn his attention back to the orb.
"I almost forgot to add something a little bit more important. How to contact me… Call me in your head, concentrate just a bit, and you'll be able to talk to me. I really hope to be contacted by the four individuals that I am looking for."
"Ugh, what a creep!" said Rika.
"He won't find us. Trust me. He's going to have to deal with us first," Renamon said, "After all, we did fuse to become Sakuyamon."
"You're right."
Suddenly, somebody places their hand over Rika's shoulder and she turned to see Takato with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry Rika. We won't let them get to you. If he really wants you, Ken and Davis to show up, then he's going to have to get through each of us. That includes myself, Tai, Henry, Kazu, Kenta and Ryo."
"I don't need their help, goggle head. But, I'm kind of glad that you said that to me. But I really don't need anybody protecting me."
"Ok. Whatever you want."
"But that was kind of nice of you though."
"Well, gee, you think so?"
Rika nods and Takato stands there smiling with a slight blush. Tai turns over towards them but was too focused on the whole D-Reaper ordeal.
"Those two have managed to get a little closer than I thought. I don't know how Takato is getting closer to the same girl who had her Renamon almost wipe out Guilmon just for his data. I guess she has changed."
Suddenly, Dark Magimon's voice was heard crying out with excitement once again and the group all turned their attention back to the orb.
D-Reaper was continuing her little dance in the background, with Dark Magimon grinning like a madman.
"I've already gotten a call! Ok, what do you got to say!"
Just then, a transmission had come from a Gekomon and he was heard, which caused the group to panic somewhat.
"Hello. This is a Gekomon and I've claimed to seen those four flying by my homeland just a couple of hours ago. By the way, is this collect?"
"No! This isn't collect, moron! Ok, please go on."
"Those four were seen flying by towards the land of the sovereigns."
"I see. Please continue."
"I took a reading on them through one of my scanners. I just got the digimon's names. They are Imperialdramon, Dinobeemon and Renamon. They had a red-haired girl with a pony-tail and a blonde-haired young man with a Patamon."
"I really don't care for their names! I want their addresses."
"You want their addresses? That's freaking impossible! I want to be accused of being a stalker! I'm afraid I can't do that."
"Why the hell not?! That doesn't do me any good!"
The Gekomon began to cry out in fear.
"Uh… Well…"
The evil sorcerer concentrated and the Gekomon's face began to bloat up with his eyeballs exploding. The Gekomon quickly exploded into data. His Otamamon companion was shrinking away in fear. Then his head explodes and he falls to the ground turning into lifeless data. A Woodmon watched nearby and started to run away at what he had just seen.
"Oh my goddramon! His head!"
"I don't want unimportant information or crank calls, or you'll die just like he did! You're heads will be popped like zits."
Tai could only close his eyes in sheer horror but it was only motivating his sheer anger building up from inside of him. Rika and Takato were just as angry but were also hiding away their fears.
"That was horrible…"
Sonja stood there closing her eyes with Henry and Suzie at her side. They all had their eyes closed after just witnessing the ugly turn of events.
D-Reaper is now on the ground while pushing herself up and down. Dark Magimon began to speak once again.
"I'm very busy now! I have to go out now and destroy more digimon, all the cities and the digital world itself. Then we shall move onto the other digital world and earth itself! D-Reaper, lets go!"
D-Reaper sits up and nods in response to the dark sorcerer. The transmission was quickly expanding throughout the Digital World afterwards. D-Reaper flies out with Dark Magimon on her back.
"I might be visiting you next! Just to tell you, hiding won't do you any good! In five days, I'll destroy the entire digital world! I'm going to blow it up into bits myself! I'm waiting for the information!"
Leomon quickly opens his eyes and lets out an angry roar of sheer anger.
"Damn it!"
"He's going to destroy this world if we don't turn ourselves in," Ken said, "We should just go along with it."
"Don't you even think about it, Ken? We can't let you just turn yourselves in to him. You'll just become another soul for the D-Reaper to absorb. That's taking a serious, serious risk," said Tai.
"Besides, we might need you during the battle against the D-Reaper," replied Agumon.
Ken stands there with sheer anger but nods his head while holding Wormmon in his arms.
"That bastard," Ken replied.
"I can't believe how evil he is," said Jeri, "He doesn't care who he hurts! Those poor digimon."
"He's already given me a headache after talking in my head. I don't want that to happen again," said Guardromon, "Anybody got an aspirin?"
"If only they had digi-aspirins," Kazu remarked.
"Besides, he and D-Reaper already killed Matt," said Kenta.
"And Kari barely survived," Ryo said.
"I don't know what we're going to do about this one," said Henry, "We've never been put into a situation like this one."
Ken looks away form the group and then towards Tai and Agumon.
"He's going to kill a lot of people before one of the three Digi-Destined fuse with one another. We have no damn idea how long their training with Shintomon is going to last. He's going to destroy the digital world no matter what he do."
"We can't go home after this is all said and done. But the major portion of our plan is to prevent the D-Reaper from entering our world," said Rika.
"She's right. We have to endure this for now," said Renamon.
"Ken. You going to be ok?" Guilmon asked.
"I'll… I'll be fine… I understand…"

Earth. West Shinjuku
Izzy was seen leaving Hypnos to walk out for some fresh air. He was overwhelmed by the advanced technology Hypnos had in their secret chambers. He thought he had seen it all. Unfortunately, he forbidden from releasing any information out to the public and that includes his own friends. Tentomon followed his partner along down the busy street. The sun was going to set very soon and it was close to dinnertime.
"Man, I didn't realize I was out that late," Izzy said. "Tentomon, I say we go get some grub and return to meet with Yamaki. I think he has something important he needs to tell us."
"If you ask me, that guys just gives me the creeps."
"As long as we're on the same page, we'll be fine. Besides, he seems pretty nice."
"Ok, he maybe safe to be around, but that Riley nearly wanted my head on a platter."
"You shouldn't have taken her cream puffs."
"Those will make her fat if you ask me."
"Heh. Look who's talking, bub."
"Me?! I burn off all my food! I'm not going to be overweight! I can't help if if I pick up something that is edible."
"Maybe I can treat you to some Chinese."
"All right, fair enough."
As the two continued their ramble down the street, a mysterious figure looked on from the dark corners of the street. A maleviolent grin formed across this figure's face. He held a pair of kendo sticks and lifted himself with a pair of wings on his back.
"Now with the digital world being wiped out, I can find refuge here and collect as much data as I can. I'll start off with those two. It's feasting time…"
****************************************************************************************
Deep within the Other World of the Digital Universe.
[Anonymous godly music plays]
The beautiful scenery seemed very peaceful and tranquil, until a yellow circle of light appeared in a grassy area of another planet. Several moons were hanging up from the sky. Shintomon, Buddamon carrying Kari and Gatomon, TK, Patamon, Davis and Veemon appeared in the middle as the light faded away.
Buddamon kneeled and placed both Kari and Gatomon the ground. Shintomon turns to face Buddamon.
"Buddamon, restore their powers."
"Alright."
"Is she going to be okay?" asked TK.
"Yes, do not worry. You've seen my assistant heal Kari before," Shintomon assured the young man.
"Lets just hope for your sake," Davis said.
Buddamon places his hand over the two bodies and his hands began to glow. Waves of yellow light move out from Buddamon's hands over Kari and Gatomon's bodies. Their injuries faded away and slowly, they opened their eyes.
"Kari! Thank god you're alive!" exclaimed TK as he ran up and hugged her.
"TK? I'm alive? Since when was I dead?" Kari asked while returning a hug to the young man.
"What? You don't even remember?" asked Davis.
"Well I do remember D-Reaper blasting me away and then everything went black. Shintomon? You're back to normal! But you were near death the last time I saw you!"
Shintomon simply smiles.
"He took a lot of catnip," remarked Gatomon.
Kari and Gatomon both sat up with Buddamon as they looked across their surroundings.
"This sure doesn't look like home or the digital world. What the heck is this place," asked Kari.
"This is my home planet."
"Eh?! Your home planet?" asked Gatomon, "Wait a second…"
"Then that means that we're dead," Kari said, "Isn't that right TK? Davis? All three of us are dead. We can't be dead!"
"Hey, we don't look dead. I'm as healthy as a horse," said Davis.
"Besides, don't you need one of those halos to signify your death? I had one of those before and I sure don't have one on my head. I can't afford being dead again anyway," TK said.
"No, you're fine, Hikari," Shintomon said, "You were in danger and almost died. But you were still alive."
"Oh, so why are we here?" asked Gatomon.
"That's not the proper form to address towards Lord Shintomon," said Buddamon.
"Gee, and here I thought I was told to respect my elders," said Davis.
"Well, they are higher powers after all," said Veemon, "Can't afford to get them mad."
"No, I say this because not even Gennai or the sovereigns are allowed in this portion of the digital universe," said Buddamon.
"Ah. I see," Kari said, "So we're just here for some sort of special occasion. Maybe like some digimon training…"
"Yes, you could say that. Shintomon has more information on that," replied Buddamon.
"I see," Kari said as she turns her attention back over towards Shintomon.
"Why did you bring us here," asked Davis, "Tai said something about training…"
"Yes, tell us. Why did we bring these humans into our holy grounds?" Buddamon asked.
Shintomon steps forward towards the group with a smirk on his face.
"I want TK and Davis to start their training with their digimon. Tai told me that he and TK should fuse into their digital forms and from there we will enable their digital forms to merge together to become the ultimate fighting warrior."
"What?! You want all four of us to fuse into one being," TK asked, "Me, Patamon, Davis and Veemon?!"
Shintomon nods with approval.
"But, isn't that like impossible? That's going to require a lot of work," said Patamon, "I don't think I can handle anymore than one other person's mind in my head. That just sounds plain freaky."
"No, kidding! I don't want to end up like those mental psychos from the insane asylum from those horror movies," Veemon said. "I still can't get Hannibal Lector out of my head. That guy creeps me out!"
"Have you been watching my movies again, Veemon?" asked Davis.
"Um, what? I didn't say anything. You must be hearing things. You're the one going insane."
"Do you agree to these terms, Davis?" asked TK, "Are you up for it?"
"I guess. Just don't slow me down."
"Yes, you four will enable yourselves to fuse into the one ultimate fighting warrior. The warrior of sheer power, strength and courage. Buddamon will help you train."
"I will?"
"Yes, after all, you saved Kari's life twice. She would be very grateful if her friends receive their proper training."
"All right then."
"Um, but didn't you forget about us?" Kari asked, "I mean, we're not just going to sit here all day are we?"
"Unless you got some food around here. I'm pretty much starving," Gatomon said.
"No. You two got an even bigger task to complete. While those two start their fusion training. You will do something that will require a lot of work, concentration and great mentality. You are to pull out the Omega Blade. You shall use it to defeat the D-Reaper. I'm sure that Celesta X can use that sword."
Buddamon turns around and his eyes go widen in shock. He leans forward and goes screaming.
"The Omega Blade?!"
Kari and Gatomon were both shrinking back from the panda's outburst as their heads rocked back and their eyes were widening.
"Are you sure of yourself?! There's no way a digimon can use that sword. Let alone a human-digimon fusion fighter such as Celesta X! No one has been able to budge that legendary blade! Not me nor any of the other Supreme guardians!"
Shintomon simply smiles.
"You don't know that, Buddamon. You don't even know about Celesta X's incredible power. She once saved the digital universe from a powerful artificial demon. She was even stronger than her brother then. I see potential in Celesta X and her ability to use the sword."
"So, the Omega Blade, huh?" Kari asked.
"But, Shintomon, sir, we couldn't possibly allow her…" Buddamon was about to say but was soon cut off.
"Let's at least try it out," said Shintomon, "Hikari. Gatomon. You two follow me."
The Supreme guardian turned to walk away. After several steps, he levitates and then began to fly away.
"Ok, Gatomon. Time to go ultimate level, Angewomon can fly."
"Right."
Kari's D-3 shoots out a beam of light as Gatomon is engulfed and quickly evolves into her ultimate-level form.
[Evolution theme "Brave Heart plays"]
"Gatomon chou shinka! Angewomon!"
The newly evolved ultimate hoists Kari up and follows Shintomon. They both went flying away to start the training of the Omega Blade elsewhere. Buddamon turns his attention back over towards TK and Davis.
"I don't know what the hell he is thinking but you two will start the training. We have to know if your two fusion forms can merge into one being. First, let me see your evolutions one by one."
They both nodded in approval. Davis and TK pulled out their D-3's as two beams of light engulfed both Patamon and Veemon. Soon they were beginning to evolve into their digivolution forms. Patamon was the first to digivolve, followed by Veemon.
[Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays once again]
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"Veemon shinka! Xveemon!"
"Great! Now let me see your mega-level forms. Then I shall read your kis. From there, proceed to evolve into your fusion forms. Now begin."
Angemon and Angewomon both powered up as they began to evolve straight into their mega-leveled forms. Davis was pulled towards Xveemon as they prepared to merge with one another into ultimate stage.
"Angemon warp shinka! Seraphimon!"
"Xveemon! Fusion Shinka! Paildramon!"
Paildramon increased his ki as he prepared to evolve straight to his mega stage.
"Paildramon mega shinka! Imperialdramon! Imperialdramon Mode Change! Fighter Mode!"
Buddamon watched with an awed look on his face as he looked over at Seraphimon and Imperialdramon. A bright glow of blue and golden auras surrounded their bodies, which made TK and Davis look on proudly.
"Incredible power! Their kis are much higher than I expected! But I shouldn't be surprised to realize that their partners are Takeru and Daisuke. Now it is time, show me your fusion abilities."
"Right! Seraphimon! It's time!"
"Um, we really don't have to, panda dude. We're already merged!"
Just then a stream of golden light surrounded TK as he is transformed into a golden stream of data. Seraphimon held out his hands and allowed TK's energy to enter his body.
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
"Seraphimon! Fusion shinka!"
As soon as he said that, his body quickly transformed and no longer was he the mega-level angel, but now he metallic angel with body structure that perfectly suits him as a fighter. He goes jumping up and gets into a pose.
"War Angemon!"
The two fusion fighters were out of their poses and Buddamon looked on with shock on his face. He couldn't believe what kind of power he was feeling from the War Angemon. Now, TK was the one with the higher ki.
"It seems every time that you fuse evolve, your power seems to increase ten fold. And here I thought that humans never had that ability, not even Digi-Destined."
"But don't forget, we've been fighting in many battles and each battle makes us stronger and stronger every time," said War Angemon, "Our experience has helped us become better fighters."
"We've kicked plenty of ass and took many names," Imperialdramon replied, "We could chew bubblegum, but we already ran out of gum."
"Yes, but now, we are battling a different enemy. The D-Reaper is nothing that you two have never faced before. I have no doubt that you two have potential powers. But D-Reaper would still easily wipe you out individually. However, if you two were to work together and merge, then you should stand a chance against the D-Reaper. I have confidence that you two will take this training seriously. Takeru. Daisuke."
They nodded which brought a smile across Buddamon's face.
"Good. Now, let us get started. There's no time to waste," Buddamon said.
"Right!" the two fighters exclaimed.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
Izzy and Tentomon were preparing to enter the closest Chinese diner, until Tentomon felt a disturbing ki. He turned and saw a figure swoop down with his kendo sticks.
"Move your tail, Izzy!"
"What?! Oh, crap!"
Tentomon was brushed to the side by the kendo shots. Izzy lifted himself from the ground and looked on as the figure walked towards the fallen insect.
"Yes. It's time to feast on this morsel. I shall become stronger."
"Hey! You leave him alone!" Izzy exclaimed.
The figure turned around and exposed himself from thr darkness.
"Boo! I hope my face scared you!"
"Don't you think you're a little early for Halloween?"
"Oh, I think Halloween can come at anytime."
"Figures. Tentomon! Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I just need… to adjust my antennae. Whoa! I've seen a digimon similar to this guy!"
"Just who is he?"
[Karatenmon. Ultimate-Level. Demon Man Type. Special Techniques: Ballistic Feathers & Enlightenment]
"Where did you come from?" the young man exclaimed.
"I came through what you humans call a 'digital field'. My world is in devastation by a powerful monster. This is your fault, humans. It's your fault that my home has been extinguished!"
"Just, what the hell are you talking about? Wait, that alternate digital world where Tai and the others went. You came from that dimension?"
"Yes. Now, stop with these meaningless questions and allow me to absorb the power of your partner digimon!"
"Tentomon!"
As soon as Izzy cried out, his digivice went off and Tentomon's power grew. The insect was ready to digivolve straight to champion.
"Tentomon shinka! Kabuterimon!"
Karatenmon jumps back from the light's force. He looks on and watches Kabuterimon emerged from the light. The demon man growled while throwing his kendo sticks to the side. People had already evacuated as soon as the Kabuterimon showed up.
"You're making a fatal mistake, human. Do you really believe that your partner can defeat a power like mine? Humans and digimon do not deserve to work together."
"I think you're the one who's blind," Izzy said. "You started this whole mess and we're cleaning it up."
"So be it, human. I'll extract my anger on you partner!"
"Let's go!"
Kabuterimon came flying towards Karatenmon. The ultimate disappears just in time. Kabuterimon turns and is caught off guard by Karatenmon's fist.
"This is for my people! You digimon slaves make me retch!"
"Kabuterimon! You can't lose! We'll need Altur Kabuterimon for this!"
The young man's chest started glowing, which gave Kabuterimon more power. This time it would enable him to digivolve to ultimate.
"Kabuterimon chou shinka! Altur Kabuterimon!"
["Beat Hit!" plays]
"You digivolved again? You rely on this human to grant you this power? Interesting," Karatenmon said.
"I won't let you put any harm on Izzy. I will protect him with my life."
"You stubborn creature. Only the wild can be considered the strongest. Now, hit me with everything you can!"
Altur Kabuterimon goes flying towards Karatenmon, but the demon man was able to see him coming. He disappears and is found levitating upwards. This time Karatenmon was the one who was sweating bullets. Altur Kabuterimon was nowhere to be found. Karatenmon looked up and saw Altur Kabuterimon crashing down with his horn firing out an enormous blast.
"Horn Buster!"
Karatenmon gets caught in the blast and is sent crashing down to the ground below. Izzy looks on enthusiastically. Altur Kabuterimon levitates down and examines the impact created from the fall. Karatenmon was laid out with his body battered and broken.
"You did it, Altur Kabuterimon!" Izzy exclaimed.
"I did, didn't I?"
Suddenly, Karatenmon was slowly rising from the ground. His body was definitely bruised and it looked as though he were ready to unleash his next attack.
"Prepare yourselves. I'm not… through yet…"
"Izzy. Get back."
"So, which one of you two want to visit the afterlife first?"
"Neither," a dark voice spoke.
"Who said that?!"
"I did…"
Karatenmon turned around and was met with a claw to the face. The digimon was facing off with a dark cloaked figure with a hood over his face, a pair of demonic horns and soulless, yellow eyes. This took Izzy and Altuer Kabuterimon back.
"You have a fair amount of ki," the cloaked figure spoke. "I think I shall borrow some."
"No! My revenge!"
With that said, Karatenmon exploded into a red mass of data. The cloaked figure reached out and absorbed it through his hand. Izzy clearly remembered who this figure was.
"Show yourself, Demon!"
"Ah, so you're the one of the children who destroyed my brother."
"Your brother? But we saw you die at the hands of Celesta X six years ago!"
"Ah, yes. My foolish brother was much too overconfident in his abilities," Demon spoke. "I was quite touched by Karatenmon's story. I'm afraid there is an evil force destroying the alternate digital world. Soon, your world will be next."
"But why are you so happy about it? You should be worried."
"Instead of fearing this new threat, I embrace it. Now, I will watch as you foolish children perish. I want to see you die."
"If you're looking for a fight, then I'm up for it!" Altur Kabuterimon exclaimed.
"I'm afraid I have other business to attend to. Until then, we shall meet again," Demon said.
The demon digimon disappeared into the darkness. Altur Kabuterimon attempted to chase him down, but to no avail. Izzy was taken back by this sudden appearance by who appears to be Demon's brother.
"So, he's the brother of the Demon that was defeated by Celesta X, just one year after Virus was extinguished?"
"Something tells me that he was able to make through a digital field as well."
"I seriously doubt that," a man's voice spoke.
Izzy turned around and saw none other than Yamaki. The man was flipping his cigarette lighter.
"Hey, don't you know smoking is bad for you?"
"You only live once. I watched the whole fiasco."
"Then you would have known that those two just bio-emerged from a digital field."
"Only the one your digimon fought came from a digital field. The other one somehow came here, but not through a digital field."
"I don't get it. Yamaki, I need to know if my friends are all right. You know the ones who left for the digital world."
"I haven't received word yet. I gave them a COM device to inform me on their whereabouts. I have not received a message."
"This is bad. They wouldn't just leave me off the hook like that. First, this Shibumi thing and now this sudden appearance of Demon. This is too confusing. I need to lay off the Internet time. My mind is starting to go haywire here!"
"We should head back and discuss this issue."
"Hold on," Altuer Kabuterimon said. "I still didn't get my Chinese."
Yamaki simply nodded his head. Izzy lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Don't worry. We'll get you that Chinese," the young man replied. "Geez, you just had to embarrass me like that, Tentomon. Now Yamaki thinks I'm some sort of clown."
****************************************************************************************
Deep within the Other World of the Digital Universe
Elsewhere, Shintomon was leading Angewomon and Kari through the skies. Shintomon looks down and points over towards a small planet and there stood the Omega Blade, which was implanted into a rock.
"Whoa! Kind of like the sword in the stone!" Davis said.
"I've seen that movie many times and I still don't get how he pulls it out," Angewomon replied.
"True. Oh and by the way, Hikari, those clothes won't really hit on that planet."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Shintomon points his finger over at Kari and shoots out a white energy blast. It engulfed Kari in a bright light and it surrounds her body. Clothes that looked similar to Shintomon's now replaced her former street clothes.
"Ha! Those clothes look pretty good on you, Hikari."
Kari looks down at her new clothes in awe. She simply giggled with a sweat drop coming down her forehead.
"You think so?"
"You're simply cute, Kari," Angewomon said, "But you could want to comb your hair."
"There it is, Hikari," said Shintomon.
Kari looks down to see a large mountain just nearby the Omega Blade. They land on top. Angewomon and the girl looked over to see the blade sticking out of the middle of a stone. Shintomon smirked and everybody was silent for a few moments. The Supreme guardian breaks the silence as he went to explain the sword's history.
"This is the Omega Blade."
They went over towards the sword and began to examine it much closely with awed looks on their faces.
"Pull it out, please. As far as I know, no one has been able to pull the sword out."
Angewomon goes crouching down right in front of it and rubs her hands together.
"Go, Angewomon! You can do it! You got the power!"
"I'll give it my best shot."
"I put all my faith into you!"
Angewomon taps right at the end of the sword and she began to look back at the movies involving the Sword and the Stone.
"C'mon, Angewomon! It's just like the movies! You've seen it so many times. The knight pulls the sword and becomes king of the land. Now you pull the sword and we can become the strongest," Kari thought.
Shintomon looks on smiling, but Kari wasn't too sure about this and had hoped for Angewomon to pull the sword out as soon as possible.
"Just don't embarrass me, Angewomon. Don't even embarrass Shintomon. This is our chance to actually make an impact on this battle. We'll save the planet just like we did seven years ago!"
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Buddamon looks on as Imperialdramon and War Angemon were sparring with one another. He looked about and was shocked at how fast they moved.
"Their speed and power is like no other! I can't believe what I'm seeing. They've even far surpassed a higher power such as myself. Maybe these two can stand a chance against the D-Reaper. Maybe once they fuse into the ultimate fighting being, they will put the D-Reaper to rest. Only time will tell though."
"Nice shot, TK! You've gotten quite faster than before. But some of your techniques could sue a little work."
"Oh yeah? We'll see about that, Davis. Just don't go crying when we beat you."
"In your dreams, TS."
"Um, it's TK. Haven't you figured out my name already? Sheesh!"
"You two! More work and less talk. Lets go. We have to get this over with as soon as possible!"
The fighters nodded as they continued to spar with one another. This was simply a warm-up before the actually merging training would begin. Buddamon watches on patiently and waited for the two to finish up as soon as possible.
****************************************************************************************
Back over on the other side, Shintomon and Kari watch on as Angewomon smiled. She wrapped her hands around the handle of the Omega Blade.
The training in the digital universe has began! While War Angemon and Imperialdramon have begun their training. Angewomon prepares for the most challenging task in her life: pulling out the Omega Blade. No mortal has ever managed to pull it out, but will Angewomon accomplish that feat? Plus, will the Tamers plan out their attack to stop the D-Reaper before she and Dark Magimon continue their path of destruction? And what about this sudden appearance of Demon? What is his connection to his fiasco?
[Digimon Tamers second ending theme "Days ~Aijou to Nichijou" plays]
[Preview]
Kari: We will succeed, Angewomon! We'll pull the Omega Blade!
Shintomon: What?! The Omega Blade has been pulled out?!
Buddamon: Daisuke! Takeru! I won't tolerate any slacking!
Imperialdramon: Geez and I thought Davis' old gym teacher was bad.
Izzy: Just what does Demon want? Does he want revenge for what Celesta X did to his brother?
Demon: So this D-Reaper is destroying the alternate world? Earth's strongest warriors are nowhere to be found, so it's easy pickings for myself. I'll just let D-Reaper have it's fun, while I have my own.
Tai: It's time we take a stand, Agumon!
Takato: What are doing? You two are going to confront D-Reaper and Magimon?!
Agumon: It's the only way.
Tai: Plus, we have a big surprise just in store for you guys.
Dark Magimon: So, it's you! Have you come to stop me and D-Reaper?
Beelzebumon: I'll do more than stop you!
Tai: Step aside, Beelzebumon. Let us handle this.
War Greymon: D-Reaper! Magimon! Prepare yourselves! Allow us to show you the fusion level beyond that of a fusion level and even beyond that.
Dark Magimon: What?
Omega X: We've reached the third level. Just call us Level Three.
Rika: Next time on Digimon Tamers Fusion, episode twenty-seven!

Max: So, what did you guys think of that sudden twist? We told you that it was going to be a surprise. You got Demon. Now SSJ4T told me that he has yet to write the fic involving the first Demon that was ultimately defeated by Celesta X. He was supposed to have written the story months ago, but he'll make up for it. Sorry for the spoiler there.
Keke: So, I hope that's an excuse and explains the story behind this Demon. Since Demon is associated with Halloween, SSJ4T had to throw him in there. So consider it as a warm-up before D-Reaper truly becomes evil.
Tike: Kara. Fucking shit! Where did my wallet go?
[David makes off with Tike's wallet and his credit card.]
Tike: Hey, you better give that back!
[Yugi Muto comes walking onto the set.]
Max: Yugi? What are you doing here?
Yugi: I've come to announce that we're going to be having a duel on the next D-Reaper chapter. I was told that I would have to referee a duel between Yami Bakura and Panik.

Max: Enjoy them while they last, dude. Are you guys ready for a Halloween-theme duel? Yugi! It's your call.
Yugi: This duel will be between Panik and Yami Bakura, two of one of my greatest enemies.
Panik: When I'm through with him, you're next Yugi!
Yami Bakura: Fool! You'll be sent to hell when I'm through with you.
Yugi: Duel begin!
Panik: I'll start first with my Reaper of the Cards in attack mode!
Coral: Oh! Its attack points are 1300!
Bakura: Not bad. Though your spooky efforts don't impress me. I summon The Headless Knight! His attack points are higher than your monster's!
Coral: Headless Knight stands at 1450, so adios Reaper.
Panik: I still have more tricks up my sleeve!
Bakura: Give it up, fool.
Tike: Man, these two definitely fit the category of ghouls and spooks.
Kara: Especially that Panik guy. Yuck!
Yugi: While these two continue their duel, I say we get on with the fic. Enjoy!

[Digimon Tamers Opening theme "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
The Legendary Omega Blade Pulled Out! Omega X's Newest Stage: Level Three?!
Digital World
The Tamers were standing around as if they were waiting for another message from Dark Magimon through the viewing orb. But that was not the case. There hasn't been a single threat occurring for the past hour or so.
Takato stood there restless while tapping his foot. He looked over to see the other Tamers, either asleep or waiting around just as he was. He growled and then faced forward with his D-Ark tightly gripped in his hand.
"That's it! I'm out of here!" exclaimed Takato.
As soon as the goggle boy was about to make his way out, Tai stopped right in front of him with an angry look on his face. Takato stopped right in his tracks.
"Just, where do you think you're going?"
"I'm going to stop the D-Reaper with Guilmon! We're just not going to stand here all day! C'mon, Tai, I say we take action."
"Takato. You got to think with your head and not your heart, sometimes."
"But, why? D-Reaper is basically killing innocent lives out there. If we don't stop them, they're going to come over to us. Magimon wants Rika, Renamon, Davis and Ken. Don't forget that."
"I know. But think for a minute. If you go out there, you're just doing what Magimon wants you to do. He wants you to go out there and stop him. Plus, the D-Reaper will simply just absorb you and Guilmon. Even as Gallantmon, you can't win."
Takato stood there and looked down at his feet as if he were now being brought back to reality. He looks right over at Guilmon and then backs to Tai.
"You're right. I was just being a little hotheaded there for a second. But you do have a point, it would be considered suicide if I were to go out there and stop the D-Reaper myself. I'm not strong enough."
"And even thought Agumon and myself merge into the most powerful fighter, we're still incompetent opponents for the D-Reaper."
"I see your point."
"Don't worry. I rushed into many things during my first adventure in the digital world. I never used my head and that got me into trouble. Remember, Takato. This is a life or death situation. We can't afford to lose anymore people."
"Especially, Matt. So, are you sad that he's gone?"
"Of course," replied the young man, "But what he did was heroic. I thought he would never do it. But what's going to be hard is telling this to Mimi. She's going to horrified when I tell her the news."
Takato nodded in agreement and turns over to look towards the other Tamers. First to Henry then to Kazu, then over to Kenta, then to Ryo, followed by Suzie, then Jeri and finally Rika. He slight blush comes across his face.
"So, Takato. What's up with you and Rika? You two are seeing each other?"
"What?! That's ridiculous!"
Tai smirked as he gave an elbow tap on the goggle boy's shoulder.
"Aw, you dog you! You like her."
"Only as a friend!"
"Sure. You don't have to be afraid to admit it. It's not wrong to like a girl. Look at me; I felt the same way when I first saw Sora. I first considered her as a friend, but we started to see each other more than just acquaintances. It took time between the two of us."
"So, are you two married or something?"
"Nah. Not yet, at least. Maybe in a couple of years, but I want these last years to be fun. We're both coaches on the same soccer team."
"That's neat."
"You get used to it. I've always been addictive to soccer. I live for it. I've always had a passion for the sport."
"Awesome. I'm sure you'll do fine in the pros one of these days."
"Yeah."
Agumon stood out while looking towards the landscape and picked up no energy signals from D-Reaper or Dark Magimon, whatsoever.
"Anything yet, buddy," asked Tai.
"Nothing. I don't sense their ki yet," replied the orange dinosaur.
"Man. What's taking them so long? I wonder how much more training that they are going to have to go through. Kari. TK. Davis. Lets just see if this training really pays off."
****************************************************************************************
Digital Universe and outside the Holy Realm
Just away at a summit on the top of a mountain just away from Planet Shin, Angewomon wraps her hands around the Omega Blade's handle. A smile forms across the digimon's face.
"Alright! I got this one in the bag!"
Shintomon and Kari both watched on with grins on their faces, but Kari seemed too unsure about Angewomon's chances to pull out such an ancient sword. Her grin wasn't that confident as Shintomon's were. Angewomon narrows her eyes as she was about to pull out the sword, but then she turns back towards Shintomon.
"Um, Shintomon… What exactly happens if I pull it out?"
"It's said that you shall receive incredible power. Enough to defeat the D-Reaper," replied the Supreme guardian.
"What?! Is that true?! Then in that case! We better make this count!"
She looks right back over the sword with curiosity.
"Can it cut that well? That must be what it means," said Shintomon.
"C'mon, Angewomon! You can do it!" replied Kari.
"Now that's the spirit, Hikari. You ought to be one of my cheerleaders!"
"You think I would be qualified?"
"Here goes nothing!" the angel woman cries out.
But soon, Angewomon's smile starts to turn into that of a slight frown. She was beginning to become serious as he began to tug away at the sword with all of her strength. Veins started to pop out on her forehead but the sword doesn't even budge. She cries out while struggling, and can now be heard throughout the spaced location. Shintomon still looked on smiling, although Kari no longer sporting a grin. Angewomon continues pulling, but still, the sword doesn't even move a centimeter.
"This damn thing!"
She clenches her teeth while cursing under her breath. Suddenly, she loses his grip and falls backwards on her behind. The entire mountain shakes as a result, but the crowd still remained in their place.
Angewomon looks over at her throbbing hands with a painful, frustrated look on her face.
"Stupid hands!"
"Are you alright, Angewomon?" Shintomon asked.
"It's no good. It can't even budge at all."
Angewomon goes leaping up onto her feet. Kari was clearly upset over the fact that her digimon couldn't even pull out one simple sword. Angewomon clenches her fists and goes to try it out once again.
"Ok! Here we go! Here we go!"
Kari now watches on with a self-confident grin on her face. Shintomon looks on with encouragement. Angewomon quickly starts to power up her ki. Kari looks on with shocked surprise.
"What?! Am I seeing things?! She's managing to power up her ki spontaneously?!"
"Its quite simple my friend. The environment we are standing on contains a large amount of energy and it easily enables a digimon to increase their ki. That is why a being such as myself remains as strong as I am every single time."
"I see. Well, lets just hope that she can get the job done."
Angewomon goes over towards the blade and wraps her hands around the handle again. She resumed screaming once again, while applying all of her strength onto the sword itself. Even at ultimate-level, the sword doesn't even budge.
"Its impossible! If a certain amount of higher beings were unable to pull this damn thing out, what makes you think I will?"
Angewomon continues on struggling nonetheless. The ground started to shake and give right under her feet. Water starts to ripple out from the lake around the mountain. Angewomon's screams echo throughout the mountain. Kari's face turns that that of a surprised expression. The ground around the sword begins to crack and the sword starts to slowly rise.
"You're coming out!"
As soon as she said that, Angewomon rips the sword from the mountain as a flash of golden light illuminates the entire mountain and the excess force sends both Angewomon and the prized possession into the skies above. Shintomon looks on with a smile.
"You see, Kari? What did I tell you? A success!"
"I never doubted her! Way to go!"
Just above the top of the mountain, Angewomon and the sword were still in the air while looking down. She goes flying down with the sword and lands onto the grass below.
Kari and Shintomon go meeting up with the ultimate-level while commending her for such an act of bravery and fortitude.
"You never seem to amaze me," Kari said, "Way to go!"
"So, what do you think of the legendary Omega Blade?" asked Shintomon.
Angewomon wasn't even smiling, as she was still struggling to lift it up from the ground. She tries so hard to lift it, but her strained expression had said it all. She barely managed to get it off the ground. Finally, she lifts it all the way up, but the weight of it makes it too heavy and even she can't handle it. She takes a step back and bends over backwards. Shintomon just looks over at her with a rather worried look.
"It's kind very heavy over here," said Angewomon.
The ultimate-level barely begins to lift herself up but still manages to stand up onto her two feet.
"But I don't feel too much power coming from it now."
"Really?"
"Can I really use this thing against the D-Reaper?"
"The Omega Blade is the most powerful sword on this planet," said Shintomon, "It can defeat D-Reaper, but not until you learn how to use the sword. I won't let you fight until you have perfect control over it."
Angewomon tried to lift the heavy sword off from the ground and over her head. But every time she tried, she would have a strained look on her face.
"That's easy for you to say! Try holding it!"
Angewomon goes walking over and drags the sword right over towards Kari.
"It's pretty heavy. You take it."
Angewomon takes the sword and then places it right on the palm of Kari's hand. Kari grips the handle with both of her hands in a rather, tight grip.
"Ready? Here take it."
As soon as Angewomon released her grip, Kari felt herself dropping like a stack of dimes as she fell down along with the Omega Blade. Kari cries out while struggling to pull herself up but the sword was lying right on top of her. Shintomon looks on with a gasp while Angewomon grins.
"See? I told you."
Kari struggles up as she stands and reaches down, grabbing the sword. Shintomon and Angewomon watch on as Kari was struggling to even lift the blade off the ground. She couldn't even get it up. Kari blows on her throbbing hands, then her eyes widened. She narrows them back over towards the two spectators. She straightens up and puts her hand around her back.
"Maybe a little."
"Little my ass!" remarked Angewomon.
Shintomon sighs in disbelief while Kari spun around.
"Anyway, you've got to learn how to use the Omega Blade!"
"That's why I'm here."
Angewomon looks right down at the sword laying underneath her feet and she cupped her two hands together as if giving herself a prayer before attempting to lift it up once again.
***************************************************************************************
Back over on the Planet Shin itself, the digimon merging training was about to begin as Buddamon was instructing both Imperialdramon and War Angemon on how to perform it.
"After you perform this digimon merging, you can only stay that way for thirty minutes," said Buddamon, "But after those thirty minutes, you will revert back to normal. You won't be able to merge again for a short while."
"Only thirty minutes? That's hard," War Angemon said.
"But if you two were to fuse correctly, thirty minutes will be more than enough. Fusion is that strong," Buddamon replied. "Ok, first, you two already became fusion fighters. That's step number one, now we shall move onto step number two."
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku. Hypnos HQ
The crew was beginning preparations for their operation's revival. They have been on hiatus since the event of Vikaralymon's rampage. Yamaki wanted to crew to get back on track. He now has access to the digital world, thanks to assistance by Izzy.
"So, are you really going to run Hypnos back on track again, Yamaki?"
"Yes, Izzy. We must get back on schedule. We can't anything distract us from completing our operations. In fact, don't you need our help to track down you're friends?"
"Yes, but we really need to look out for this Demon. If I know any crafty digimon like him, he'll strike at any opportunity."
"Don't worry. We'll keep an eye on any strange occurrences. We might not need Juggernaut to take care of him."
"Well, I really don't you to use that program again. You saw what effect it had on our digimon."
"Don't remind. My head felt like it was about to be sucked through a straw," Tentomon replied.
"I understand you're concerns, Mr. Izumi. You do have friends to help you through, am I right?"
"Yeah, but none of them can reach the mega level," Izzy replied. "All of our strongest comrades left for the digital world. I don't see even a combined force of Altur Kabuterimon, Silphymon, Shakkoumon, Garudamon, Lillymon or Zudomon taking him. In fact, this Demon is the brother of another who was defeated by Celesta X six years ago."
"So, in other words…"
"This guy is way out of our league," Izzy stated. "Unless, we can somehow communicate through with the others in the digital world."
"Which is near impossible," Yamaki replied. "I haven't received a message yet from Takato."
"What is the hold up? They leave us out hanging to dry. This has to be Tai's doing. Knowing him, he's wasting time showing off and finding competition. Damn show off."
"We'll keep you informed on the situation," Yamaki said. "In the meantime, just sit tight. We'll wait until we receive a message from Takato."
"What I'm worried about is what Demon is really planning,"Izzy thought.
***************************************************************************************
Deep within the dark shadows of an abandoned building, a pair of yellow eyes was seen glowing through the thick darkness. Demon sat on a skull throne, which he magically created spontaneously.
"So, this is the realm where my brother was killed. Not like I really cared for my brother's demise, he let his overconfidence blind him. But enough of that, I should really plan out for my next assault. I realize that the earth's strongest warriors have left for the alternate digital world. I do believe they are in a war with a being known as the D-Reaper. I've been told that this entity is the most destructive force known through the digital universe. The D-Reaper can have its way with those pests. They just left this world unprotected and I shall take this opportunity to claim it."
The demon mega sat up from his throne and formed an orb at the palm of his hand. He took a look throughout Shinjuku with pleasure.
"Yes. They did leave this city unprotected. This city will be the birthplace for my new empire. I declare this day as the new age of darkness. I think a little assistance would be nice. Let's see here."
With that said, Demon forms another orb and levitates it over his head. He chants a form of satanic tongue and forces the orb to crack open. A creature came out from the orb and stood before Demon.
"Welcome to the real world, Tambourinemon."
The figure stepped out from the shadows and revealed himself to be a demon. His entire body is green with a pair of gargoyle-like wings on his back. His face looked like that of a fish, especially with the odd-shaped lips. He was wearing a pair of pants and boots.
"How can I serve my humble master?"
"I want you to find the Digi-Destined. The weakest links have been left behind while the others have gone off to battle the D-Reaper in the alternate digital world."
"I won't fail you."
"See it that you don't."
Tambourinemon flew out through a window and headed off to begin his search for the remaining Digi-Destined. From there, he would be the assassination of each Digi-Destined.
"Game set, Digi-Destined," Demon muttered. "While the D-Reaper has it's fun with the other pests, I'll have this world in the palm of my hand."
The demon lord cackled through the darkness. Two female figures look on from outside the abandoned building. Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus were curious to know about Demon's recent plans.
"Neptune. I think it's time we act. I'm not even sure these children can defeat a creature such as this."
"I agree. What he said about those stronger children in another dimension fighting an entity named D-Reaper, then these remaining children aren't going to far well. If these remaining children had difficulty with the Devas, I'm not too sure about their chances with these demon hordes."
"We better keep an eye on these monsters."
"Yes. We'll decide when to take action. For now, we'll see if these children leave up to their reputation."
The pair disappeared into the darkness as the full moon appeared above the horizon.
**************************************************************************************
Digital World
The Tamer group were still lounging around and waiting for any response from Dark Magimon and any updates of the D-Reaper's attacks. But thus far, nothing has happened. They were becoming quite restless.
"Damn it. When are they going to do something? It's been almost an hour," said Rika.
"But for the better. That act of violence was truly disgusting," said Renamon, "I hope Magimon suffers in hell for what he has done."
"And here I thought I was getting restless," Takato exclaimed, "C'mon! We're going…"
But just as Takato was about to finish, a voice called out from the orb and it belonged to none other than Dark Magimon himself.
"I'm back, digimon of the digital world! This is Dark Magimon and D-Reaper!"
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
The Tamers quickly gathered around and were watching from the orb. Dark Magimon and D-Reaper were standing on top of cliff somewhere within the Digital World. They were overlooking another digimon city.
"We've found a much bigger city this time. We're going to erase this town now if Imperialdramon, Renamon and Dinobeemon don't come immediately."
***************************************************************************************
D-Reaper stood smiling and nodding her head. Everything has now come to a halt, as everybody stood frozen while listening to Magimon's announcement.
"There! That city! That city!"
The crowd of digimon began to peer up closer towards the hill to get a better look at whom they were seeing. D-Reaper comes into view with a smile on her face. The digimon screamed out and panicked.
"Its the D-Reaper! Run!"
As soon as they said this, the whole digimon population started to run away into their city. Now they were beginning to flee and evacuate their homeland.
****************************************************************************************
"Damn! He's talking about us!" exclaimed Ken.
"That bastard! He's going to pay for this!" growled Rika, "Him and D-Reaper!"
"Magimon, don't you even dare!" replied Renamon.
"Looks like no one wants to talk to me, not even the people I want. I guess that means that there will have to be more victims. Lets see, Last time, she levitated them to their deaths. Now, D-Reaper will just how to blow their heads up. All right! You hear that?! Blow their heads up like balloons, D-Reaper!"
***************************************************************************************
D-Reaper cries out and holds out her hands, then cuases the entire digimon city population to make their head enlarge and cause them to float up into the air, screaming all the way up. D-Reaper smiles and her eyes flashed a dark, purple color. Dark Magimon looks on laughing while D-Reaper grins. She fires a beam at the bloated up digimon and watch each of them explode into lifeless, red data. D-Reaper reaches out and began to absorb each lost data into her being.
Beelzebumon could only look on with horror. He has seen enough and decided it was time to take action. It was either now or never.
****************************************************************************************
The Tamers looked on horrified at what they were seeing. The digimon were pissed beyond belief as they heard the evil sorcerer laughing like a madman.
"Why that little…" Takato said.
"D-Reaper just blew then up!" exclaimed Rika, "For no good reason!"
"Leomon, tell me that this isn't really happening," Jeri said as a few tears came down her face.
"I'm afraid so, Jeri. I'm sorry…"
****************************************************************************************
Digi-Destined Digital World
A Minotaurmon was beginning his training but then he was stunned at what he just saw on the television. He goes running out and looks for Mummymon. But as soon as he runs, he goes bumping right into a blue-clad man with a tall hat. Minotaurmon stood on his two feet and went over to try to help the man up, but he shrugged off and pushed the Minotaurmon away.
"Get the hell off of me!"
"I am sorry, Mummymon. But there's something that you should see on the television!"
"Is that right? Why aren't you training?! When you're training, you don't have time for anything else! Stop thinking about irrelevant things such as this and concentrate. Besides, Arukenimon would kill me if she didn't see you guys training."
"Yes sir!"
Just then, Arukenimon goes walking in while catching her breath. She seemed worried about something and Mummymon took notice of this.
"Oh there you are, Arunkenimon. We were just talking about you."
"Never mind about that, bandage boy! I just saw something terrible happen!"
"Yes, but never come when I'm training. You even agreed to that for once."
"But, this is really bad! C'mon and see, if you don't believe me!"
Arukenimon grabs Mummymon by the arm and then drags him out from the training room. Mummymon's eyes widen, as he was surprised to be dragged off his own training room by the spider woman.
"What is the meaning of this?!"
"If you shut up for once, you're needed! The other Digital World is needed! It seems that you are the only hope once again, since those other fighters are gone."
As soon as they go walking outside, there was a large crowd of digimon standing at the front cheering on and chanting Mummymon's name. He looked rather surprised and looked to see many supporters. A slight smirk forms across his face. Arukenimon smacks him upside the head.
"They're here for you, twit!"
"MUMMYMON! MUMMYMON! MUMMYMON!"
"They want you to go out there and stop the D-Reaper yourself," said Arukenimon.
"Yeah! Defeat the D-Reaper!" exclaimed a Pagumon.
"Do it for the digital worlds!" called out a Tyrannomon.
Finally, Mummymon bellows and then raises his two arms up in the air. The crowd quickly responded with a loud ovation and lots of confetti was being thrown into the air. After a few moments, Mummymon goes to address his crowd.
"You don't have to worry! I'm going to be working on a new technique now after I get done finishing my tea! As soon as I've finished my technique and my tea, I'll use it to defeat this dope named the D-Reaper!"
Mummymon starts to laugh but then starts to speak to himself in thought.
"What the hell have I gotten myself into now?"
"Mummymon. You still haven't changed after these many years. I can't believe these people still follow your fan wagon,"Arukenimon said, "I'm the one with the brains, yet I don't get paid dodley squat! Ugh, men."
****************************************************************************************
Other Digital World
D-Reaper began walking through the now abandoned digimon city with a smirk on her face. She goes walking through the population but they were trying to get away from him as soon as possible. She holds out her hands and then shoots out a beam blasting more digimon away. They each exploded into data, which was more than enough for her to absorb. She then began to dance around and pushes her arms out, releasing a large purple barrier that completely obliterated the entire digimon city into nothing but rubble.
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital World
The Tamer group could only look on once again with sheer anger and rage. The digimon couldn't stand bearing to watch such a disgusting act from the D-Reaper. Tai and Takato were now as pissed as ever.
"Damn them!" exclaimed Ken.
"They have no compassion whatsoever!" Ryo remarked.
Right through the viewing orb, a good view of D-Reaper was shown standing among the fallen city rubble but she remained unscathed from the large explosion. A dark, sinister smile formed across her face and her eyes were glowing a dark, purple color.
"It looks like the D-Reaper has cleared away another nuisance of a town. No matter, nobody will ever miss the weak. She just blew up the city just for the hell of it! Now, where should we go next?!"
D-Reaper looks up and quickly begins to fly away. Dark Magimon turns and goes over to follow her, as they both left a smoking crater from behind.
"D-Reaper! Dark Magimon!"
They both turned to stop and they could hear a voice calling out to them. It belonged to none other than Rika.
"Huh?! Who's this?" the sorcerer asked.
"It is me, the red-haired girl! Rika Nonaka!"
"This is Renamon!"
"This is Ken Ichijouji! I'm apart of Dinobeemon long with my partner, Wormmon!"
"And this is Wormmon! Imperialdramon, however, is not with us at this moment."
"At last! You decided to speak! I'm guessing you were all deep within hiding! I don't blame you!"
"In your dreams, crap head!" Rika exclaimed.
"We might not get to you now. But soon, we'll kill you," Renamon replied.
"Hey! Stop talking to Magimon!" exclaimed Leomon. "He'll find us this way!"
"Hey! Where are you?!" Dark Magimon asked. "Come to me! Come out of hiding, cowards!"
"Not until you come and face the new merged warrior that will defeat your monster. Plus, Agumon and I got a little surprise for you along the way," said Tai.
****************************************************************************************
Digital Universe. Planet Shin.
War Angemon and Imperialdramon powered up as bright auras were flickering around their bodies. Buddamon watched with great anticipation. The ground started to shake somewhat due to their power increase.
"Alright… Now raise your ki as high as you can."
War Angemon nods and turns his attention to the towering mega.
"Alright. Ready, Davis?."
"Let it rip, TY."
They both screamed and began to raise their kis once again. As soon as their kis continued to rise, a sudden gust of wind caused Buddamon to gasp.
"My goddramon! They're much stronger than I imagined! How are they able to achieve this much power over such a short amount of time?!"
Both warriors chuckled, and were already fully powered at their maximum.
"Incredible! Your just as strong as one of the higher powers, if not a little higher in power, but, now, its time to proceed onto step two. In order to fuse, you have to be exactly at same at power. War Angemon, since you seem stronger, I want you to lower your ki just a little bit and make it as equal as Imperialdramon's."
"All right."
War Angemon started to lower his ki and felt his power decreasing just a bit, and was now down to the same level of power as Imperialdramon. Even at such low ki, they were still strong enough to cause a planet to rumble.
"Ok, you may stop. Remember the size of that ki, revert out of your maximum forms."
The two fusion warriors shrugged as they quickly powered down and the bright auras surrounding their bodies faded away as a result.
"That was pretty difficult to level my power level to same as Imperialdramon's. But if it's going to work that way, I can't complain."
"Sorry, dude."
"You don't have to be sorry."
"That's because you're a little older than Daisuke is, Takeru. Its only natural."
"Just by a little."
"Doesn't make a difference. Your stronger than he is now."
"Damn. I better not screw this up or we'll never hasten the pace."
"Just give it your all, Davis. Don't worry about having to perfect you're ki."
"Right!"
****************************************************************************************
Digi-Destined Digital World
There was a large crowd standing just outside of Mummymon's mansion. Now there were security guards trying to restrain every crazy fan that tried to break through. Mummymon comes walking out with a microphone in one hand. He started to speak out to them.
"You're alright! Only I can save the digital worlds now! I'm not just going to save this city, but the entire two digital worlds! I promise to save you from this D-Reaper! But only one small problem… Nearly all gateways out of this world are sealed up…"
"So, how are you going to save us?" asked a Mushroomon.
"We're basically screwed! All of us! What if the D-Reaper is able to open a doorway?!" exclaimed a Floramon.
"In the mean time, I have to go back to my hard training, but I will do necessary training, while somebody opens the gateways! I will be waiting here for a while. Farewell!"
Arukenimon quickly takes away his microphone and pushes him back inside of the mansion. The crowds were going crazy just as ever as they chant chanting Mummymon's name.
"MUMMYMON! MUMMYMON! MUMMYMON!"
Mummymon chuckled to himself as Arukenimon was pushing him back into the training room.
"And what are you chuckling about?" Arukenimon asked, "I don't see anything funny about this."
"I handled that crowd pretty well, but what will happen if the D-Reaper breaks through the gateway and finds me here training?!"
His sudden confident grin quickly melted into that of a frightened expression.
"Its only my duty since those other warriors are absent. I have to kill the D-Reaper by myself."
Mummymon starts to laugh nervously as he spun around and throws his arms up in the air.
"I'll do it!"
"Do what? Brush your teeth for once? Please!"
Mummymon sighed to himself as Arukenimon kicks him right back into his training room and locks the door to prevent him from escaping his usual daily routine of training.

D-Reaper is seen flying through the air as she goes crashing through many homes and basically starting more chaos once again. She picks up a small dome tower and throws it into another nearby clock tower. Screaming digimon citizens started to flee away from the falling debris as the city comes down around them. Within less than a minute, a large smoke cloud shrouded the city and town was turned into rubble. D-Reaper grins and stands over the devastation. Dark Magimon giggles while looking on.
D-Reaper flies alongside a damaged highway, stopping right in front of a fleeing truck full of Divermon. D-Reaper grins as the Divermon stepped on the brakes and tried to stop. But he wasn't fast enough and runs into D-Reaper, who simply holds out her foot to stop the car. The truck goes airborne and then stops right in front of D-Reaper. The Divermon have nowhere to go as the D-Reaper puts her foot on the bumper and begins bouncing around the truck around its shocks. Finally, D-Reaper giggles, pulls back an arm and shoves down the car off of the freeway. The truck then falls right on top of another car and it explodes. Dark Magimon looked on laughing like a madman.
D-Reaper flies around the ruined city as Dark Magimon giggles for all to hear.
"Where should we go next, D-Reaper?!"
Just then a voice called out and it was from a Gizamon. Dark Magimon picked up his transmission and replied.
"Magimon! I found the culprits you're looking for! They're over at the eastern section of the digital world. You'll find them at sector 49-D. They're all gathered together."
"Thank you, but never ever catch me off guard again! I won't kill you this time around, but next time, you won't be so damn lucky!"
D-Reaper picks up Dark Magimon and lifts him up.
"To Sector 49-D, D-Reaper and step on it!" exclaimed Dark Magimon.
"Not so fast!"
"Huh? Who dares to stop me?" the sorcerer calls out.
"I did? Turn around and face me."
As soon as D-Reaper and Magimon turned, they saw Beelzebumon standing before them with a determined look.
"Ah! Well if it isn't Zhuqiaomon's lead stooge! So, have you come into realization that you are unable to stop us? What makes you think you'll do any better than Yamato?"
"I might not survive, but I'm not going to allow this chaos to continue. I'm not taking this lying down! You got a problem?"
"You've got some nerve! D-Reaper, it's time to waste this punk!"
D-Reaper nodded in reply and smiles over at Beelzebumon. The demon biker simply took a battle stance.
"I better broadcast this all over the digital world. I think I should draw those brats out," Dark Magimon muttered. "Attention, Digital World! I've returned with yet another message. It seems we have a volunteer, who has taken the liberty to stand up against my ambitions. Take a look for yourselves. I plan on watching my D-Reaper take apart Zhuqiaomon's head stooge."
****************************************************************************************
Section 49-D. Digital World
The Tamers were about to depart from within the area to look for any refuge to hide out in and sleep for the next day or so. But then, they were quickly interrupted as Dark Magimon's voice called out from the orb. They gathered around to watch.
"Digimon of the digital worlds! I have an interesting announcement for you! We have a volunteer who has taken the liberty to stand up against my powerful D-Reaper. You might know him as Beelzebumon."
"What?! Beelzebumon?!" the group exclaimed.
"He's not going to last," said Takato. "He just came back from a battle with Gallantmon."
"What's that fool thinking?" Tai said. "Is he freaking insane?!"
"I say good riddance," Rika replied. "He tried to kill me. Now he'll get what's coming to him."
"I'm not sure you should be saying that Rika," Leomon stated. "Beelzebumon seems to be atoning for the sins he's committed and has taken to liberty to take on the D-Reaper."
"But…"
Well, at least he hasn't gone to find us," Terriermon said in relief.
"We've got to get over there and stop that idiot," Tai thought.
**************************************************************************************
Beelzebumon and D-Reaper faced off as the winds blown in between them. Dark Magimon watched on in anticipation.
Within seconds, Beelzebumon and D-Reaper rushed over at one another. Beelzebumon jumps up and delivers a spinning back kick to the D-Reaper. The demon biker flips over and delivers a devastating elbow to her back.
"D-Reaper! No!"
Beelzebumon powers up and delivers numerous fists all across her jelly-like body. Each blow managed to create dents. Beelzebumon starts slashing through at D-Reaper and gouged her in the eyes. The sorcerer would only look on desperately. He wasn't surely planning to see his father's creation fall before the mighty Beelzebumon.
"No! D-Reaper! You can't be defeated! We have to find those brats! End it now!"
D-Reaper quickly recovers from the devastating blows and heals her wounds. Beelzebumon was taken back by her speedy recovery. He has never seen such an unpredictable monster.
"My blows aren't even having any affect on her! What am I going to do?!"
"Beelzebumon! You go bye, bye!" D-Reaper cries out.
"Bye? Bye?"
With that said, D-Reaper pulls her fist back and materializes it into a large ball. She then pushes back and nails Beelzebumon across the chest with the heavy ball. The tremendous impact knocked the wind out of Beelzebumon and sent him flying back.
D-Reaper appears in front of Beelzebumon and blasts him with a powerful ki blast. Dark Magimon looked on happily.
As soon as the smoke cleared, there was nothing left but a pile of rubble. D-Reaper was dancing in triumph and began to clap. All that was left of Beelzebumon was the battered body of Impmon without his scarf.
**************************************************************************************
The group was horrified by the events. They had watched as another warrior has fallen before the deadly D-Reaper. Tai and Takato shown fury like never before. Despite trying to murder Rika, Takato could feel sorrow for Beelzebumon. He did not want to see another individual die.
"He gave it his all! We can't let this continue on!" Takato exclaimed.
"I agree with Takatomon. We have to save Impmon before it's too late!"
"Don't forget that we're next," Ken replied.
"No kidding and we're the ones that he is looking for! Renamon, lets be prepared just in case!"
"This part of the digital world will be destroyed," said Renamon, "Azulongmon has no idea of what is about to happen!"
"Then in that case, I should go out there and stall the D-Reaper enough time for you guys to make a getaway," said Tai. "Rika. You and Renamon go and save Impmon. As Omega X, we'll be sure to send Renamon the signal."
"But Tai, you can't go out there alone. You'll get killed. Like you said, its a big risk," said Takato.
"But it's a risk I'm willing to take. I'm all about risks. Risk is my middle name."
"Dude. If you had something hit you in the head, you obviously realize that you're no match for D-reaper, even as Omega X," Kazu said. "Beelzebumon and Matt sure as heck couldn't defeat her."
"Kazu is right. We just can't let you fight it alone," Jeri said, "Don't make that risk."
"We're sorry guys. But we're just going to have to do this. There's no other way," Agumon said.
"Besides, running away isn't my exact way of survival. We live to fight and stay when the crisis is too great. You guys understand?"
"Sort of, but you're going to be end up killed like Matt," said Ken.
"Not a chance. Ken, since you're the oldest and I'm not around. I want you to lead the group and take them into safety. If we happen to make it out alive, we'll meet you guys back over at the location that you're hiding in."
"No problem, Tai. I got this under control," said Ken, "You can sure count on me."
"Thanks, Ken. Lets also keep in contact with each other," said Tai, "Besides, you don't want to get worried and think that I'm dead."
Ken nodded as he turns back to face the Tamer group. Takato goes running up towards Tai.
"Tai. But do us one favor. Stay alive, buddy."
"You got it. I'll still alive and beat the D-Reaper with whatever I can. I doubt that we'll beat it but I can say that I at least did my best."
"Takato, lets go," Rika called out.
"Yeah, you don't want to be left out now do you," Jeri asked.
"Coming guys! Good luck, Tai!"
Tai smirked and then looked over to Agumon. They both looked out into the open with smirks on their faces.
"You think you're up for it, buddy?"
"We'll just have to see, Tai. I want to know for sure if we're strong enough. How can we be sure that Omega X can take down the D-Reaper?"
"We won't. We're just stalling some time for the others to make a get away."
"All right. Lets do the best that we can! I'm ready whenever you are, Tai."
"Lets do it. Rika. Remember, we'll send you and Renamon that signal to move out and find Impmon."
"Sure."
Tai holds out his digivice and the symbol of his crest of courage started to illuminate across his chest. The combined power of the two sources allowed Agumon to evolve straight into his mega level form.
[Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays]
"Agumon warp shinka!"
Agumon digivolved right passed from his rookie form, straight into Greymon, then Metal Greymon and finally War Greymon. The Tamers looked on with awed looks as War Greymon finished evolving.
"War Greymon!"
Tai hops onto War Greymon's back and the young man looks out towards the Tamers with a determined look on his face.
"Ken. Take them away from here as soon possible. We've got this fight under control," Tai said, "Lets go War Greymon."
With that said, the mega-level digimon goes speeding off into the distance and all that can be seen is a bright flash of light. Takato and Guilmon looked on with awe.
"So, cool. Well, at least we can merge like they can," Guilmon said.
"You're right. Maybe we'll just be as good as they are. Just imagine us as equals to Omega X?"
"You said it."
"Takato. We have to get out of here now. Tai wants us away from this part of the digital world," said Ken, "Once we return, then we'll be back here."
Takato and Guilmon walked back towards the others as they were heading out towards the other side of the digital world. Takato and Guilmon look back while walking along. Smiles came across their faces.
"Show D-Reaper what you're made of, Omega X. You can do it."
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital World
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
"You sure showed that fool what you're made of, D-Reaper! That goes to show that none of Zhuqiaomon's stooges are a threat to me anymore! Now let us move out to Sector 49-D!"
D-Reaper nods in reply and starts to fly straight up once again. But then she suddenly halted, as War Greymon stood right in front of her. The sudden halt throws Dark Magimon forward, and grips onto D-Reaper's skirt.
"Why did you stop like that?!"
The sorcerer goes crawling on top and the peers to look over at War Greymon with Tai on his shoulder. A smile comes across the face of the young man.
"Yo!"
"Y-you… I remember you," muttered Dark Magimon. "I thought you were killed by Yamato. However, I'm glad that you're alive. I should thank you. Because of you, D-Reaper has been released."
"Metalla X and I underestimated you. We never thought that D-Reaper would be this strong."
D-Reaper faced off War Greymon as her eyes started to glow a dark purplish color.
Impmon lifts his head up and looks up towards the skies. He was shocked to find that War Greymon was facing off against the D-Reaper.
"What are… those two idiots doing? Oh well… Not my problem… Uh… Need to rest… My body aches like a mother…Uh…"
Impmon slowly crawls away from the battle site, in order to get away and recover. This will now allow Tai and War Greymon to battle without worrying over any innocent bystanders in the way.
"Of course, she is strong! My father corrupted a portion of the Reaper A.I. program and created this D-Reaper! So why did you come here?"
Tai looks at the two without even replying to their question. War Greymon was just as quiet as he was.
"I know that you came to tell us the location of those four brats, right? Is that why you cam here for?"
"Don't be silly. One of them happens to be one hothead of a girl. I came here to warn you."
"Warn us? Ha! That's funny! We should let everyone on the two digital worlds hear this!"
"Ready? You'll find these three soon," Tai said, "I promise. Just until then. Don't destroy anything else or slaughter anymore digimon."
"Why should we wait?! Are you planning on something?!"
"Yeah. We got friends that are training to defeat you."
"What?!"
Dark Magimon covers his mouth in order to hide his laughter but was unable to, since he was bursting out with laughter. Soon, D-Reaper was bursting out with laughter.
"They're going to defeat us?! Even if they trained for thousands of years, they can't defeat us!"
Tai simply grins and says, "Do you really think so?"
Dark Magimon quickly stops laughing as soon as Tai said this and was now giving him a rather serious look.
"Do you think that we'll wait for that?! Have them come here now. If not, we'll continue to kill more digimon. We're both enjoying the act of destruction."
"Heh. I thought so. Looks like we'll just have to resist you for a little while," replied the young man.
Dark Magimon starts laughing once again and looks down over at D-Reaper.
"That's funny! D-Reaper, show them how terrifying you are. It looks like he wants to die just like Yamato did."
D-Reaper doesn't make a single movement and has her eyes locked onto War Greymon.
"What's wrong?"
D-Reaper puts her hand son her face and then starts making more funny faces. This infuriated Magimon even further as he clenched his fists and pounded on her head.
"Damn it! Hey, D-Reaper, kill him already! Now!"
The sorcerer points over towards War Greymon and D-Reaper looks up to face him.
"Show him your strength, D-Reaper!"
"D-Reaper, if you're really that strong, why do you even listen to Dark Magimon," asked Tai.
D-Reaper quickly stops and overhears Tai's question with curiosity.
"D-Reaper? And you! Shut up! Who told you to talk! D-Reaper is my slave! She has to do what I say!"
D-Reaper quickly glares right over to Magimon and her smirk turns into that of a frown.
"What?! Do you want to be sealed away again?! You don't want that, do you?"
"If you seal me up, he's going to kill you."
Dark Magimon looks away angrily and began to think to himself.
"Since when did she acquire this unnecessary knowledge?!"
D-Reaper smirks and then turns her attention back over towards War Greymon while brushing away the hair covering her face.
"But I shall delete him. He looks like a good guy and I hate him."
"Good! I'm glad you realized that," replied Dark Magimon.
"Well, then. I'll have to do it," said War Greymon.
War Greymon bends his legs a little and gets into a fighting stance. A light wind blows in between them.
"Subject analyzed complete. War Greymon. How shall you be terminated?"
War Greymon simply says nothing while Dark Magimon started to back out so he is not caught in the middle of their fight.
"Digimon everywhere. This is a prime example of what happens if you dare to oppose me! D-Reaper, delete this piece of shit!"
"Here I go!" exclaimed War Greymon.
War Greymon's body glows, as does Tai's. The two glowing forms merged together and quickly formed to become Omega X. The result of the transformation sent out a large gust of wind. He looks over to both D-Reaper and Magimon with a grin on his face. D-Reaper didn't seem that much afraid but Magimon was horrified. But quickly, the sorcerer was able to gain back his confidence.
"You're just wasting your efforts!" Magimon exclaimed, "Yamato did that and he was killed!"
D-Reaper starts laughing, but a grin forms across the face of Omega X.
"You guys want to see something that surpasses the fusion warrior which surpassed fusion warrior?"
"A what that surpasses a what which far surpassed a fusion what?" Magimon asked while stuttering in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?! What are you even babbling about? I didn't understand a word you were saying!"
The evil sorcerer looks right over towards D-Reaper.
"D-Reaper, hurry up and kill him so that we can make it over to sector 49-D."
D-Reaper doesn't reply to his pleas and starts dancing around in anticipation. Omega X glares right into her as he began to think to himself.
"Just by looking at her, you'd think she's just a weakling. But she was able to kill Metalla X off."
D-Reaper smiles as she popped her neck and held her hands out. Omega X gets into a fighting pose and gathers as much energy to power up his maximum power. Omega X quickly fades away his aura. They defused back into Tai and War Greymon once again. This catches the evil sorcerer by surprise.
"Huh?!"
"Why did you defuse?! Are you giving up already?" D-Reaper asked.
"No, its not that," said Tai, "I'm going to explain the power of digital fusion between a human and a digimon a little more. So pay attention."
D-Reaper mutters to repeat the words slowly.
"Digital… Fusion?"
"Why the hell should we care about that," asked Magimon, "I don't even want to know about that!"
"Oh don't say that," replied Tai as he began explaining. "First this is our normal state. I'm Tai Kamiya, a human and Digi-Destined of Courage. This is War Greymon, mega-level extraordinaire. His main attacks are Terra Force and Brave Tornado."
As soon as he said that, they both transformed into two beams of light and quickly became Omega X.
"This is our digital fusion form, Omega X. It's the combination of both a human and a digimon. You can think of it as a hybrid. And this is a digital fusion that surpasses a digital fusion."
As soon as he spoke, he transforms again and a small, noticeable change occurs. His aura got brighter and the somewhat spiked hair was starting to stick up. And now there's lighting striking all over his body.
"I guess, you can call this, digital fusion level two."
D-Reaper nods enthusiastically while paying more close attention.
"Bah! What a stupid transformation!" exclaimed Dark Magimon, "Its not so much different from the other one."
Omega X forms a grin on his face while lighting was striking down his face.
"And…"
Omega X quickly hunches over and clenches his fists.
"…this…is…the level beyond the second level!"
[Super Sayian 3 background theme plays]
Omega X began screaming out with sweat running down his face. The background him quickly starts to turn into that of a pure golden color. The skies were turning gold.
*****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the Tamers stopped to look up towards the skies and they were shocked at what they were seeing. The digimon felt the tremendous power and were quickly taken back by it. Takato and Guilmon gasp while taking on pained expressions. A gold streak cuts through the background behind them, and then another does the same for each of the others. The other Tamers were shocked beyond belief.
"Omega X?! This that you?"Leomon asked himself.
"Leomon! What is going on here?!" Jeri cried out.
"Tai! War Greymon! This power is incredible!"Ken said to himself.
"What power! I've never felt anything like this! It feels like there's three Virus' in one location!"Wormmon said to himself.
*************************************************************************************
A gold-orange sphere of light now surrounded Omega X. But instead of a usual digital fusion aura, the background around Omega X can't be seen through the light. Omega X's scream rings out in the sky.
***************************************************************************************
Even in the other world within the Digital Universe, Shintomon felt the incredible power as his world was vibrating violently from the after effects of Omega X's sudden power up.
"Stop it, Taichi! If you do that, you'll destroy the digital world! Don't do it!"
"is that my brother, Angewomon?"
"Yes! It's incredible! Since when did he gain this much power? Wait, I do recall Agumon telling me about a time he and Tai visited the Time Chamber again."
"They used a time chamber again?"
"Yes, and this is was about a year ago."
"Yeah. Tai told me that he was going out of town to coach his soccer team to a tournament game. However, he actually went into the digital world and borrowed Azulongmon's Time Chamber. So, this is you're suppressed power, Tai. Just don't go crazy."
***************************************************************************************
Large waves run out into rings from the ocean, directly beneath Omega X. D-Reaper and Dark Magimon watch on with D-Reaper looking indifferent and Magimon horrified. The clouds were now starting to draw nearer towards Omega X.
***************************************************************************************
Renamon's eyes flash open as the ground began to shake.
"Th-That's incredible! His kis is rising at a furious rate!" exclaimed Renamon.
"Impossible," said Rika, "But its just Omega X."
Takato, Guilmon and Henry were all shocked as they each muttered a word.
"This…"
"is…"
"…amazing!"
"He's gotten a lot stronger than before!" exclaimed Terriermon. "We know who's been taking their vitamins and drank their digi-milk."
***************************************************************************************
More clouds continue to move towards Omega X, as if he were absorbing them into his being. Down below, several abandoned homes were being blown away and several hills start to crumble under the amount of power. Omega X was standing in the middle of a golden background. He continues screaming and the golden background starts to move in behind him. The hair on the back of his head was no longer sticking up, but is pushed straight back. As lighting dances all around him, it begins to lengthen.
Dark Magimon struggles to keep his composure together to try to combat the wind blowing against him. A bright gold light flickers all around Omega X. It transforms from a sphere of light into light itself in a matter of moments.
***************************************************************************************
Back in the outer world of the Digital Universe, Shintomon holds out his arms towards the sky.
"Stop! Don't do it, Taichi!"
"I'm simply stunned," Angewomon replied.
"You can do it, Tai! Go for it!" Kari cheered.
***************************************************************************************
Buddamon was taken back by this amount of ki from Omega X. The power has managed to reach as far as the Heavenly Realms of the Digital Worlds.
"Shit! Now this is power, TK!" Imperialdramon cries out. "Just what kind of vitamins has he been taking?"
"Definitely not the Flinstones kids," War Angemon replied. "He's going to give the D-Reaper a run for her money."
"So can he take the D-Reaper?"
"I don't know. However, I do know that he's already become stronger than my brother. He should last."
***************************************************************************************
The Central Digiverse.
X was watching the events unfold through his orb, yet the orb itself wasn't strong enough to maintain its control. This was largely due to the sheer amount of ki emitting from Omega X's level ascension.
"Keke. We have a glimmer of hope. Remember when I asked Tai to use the Time Chamber?"
"Yes, yet he only used it half a day. That was because he and Agumon already used it once before. He used half a day and a whole day. You asked him to finish up that half a day which he was unable to complete."
"Well, I wanted to do him a favor. I wanted him to reach new plateaus to his fusion power. If he can ascend after the second level, then he'll be more than ready for any future threat."
"So you were expecting this event to unfold."
"No. I actually predicted it. Looks like my prediction is coming true. Make me proud, Tai."
***************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku
The oceans back on earth were starting to wave out and were becoming out of control. There were large cracks forming on worldwide cities. Cars were suddenly stopped due to the magnetic forces that were occurring. Traffic lights soon began to explode. Televisions start to lose connection and exploded. Everything that was glass exploded.
Even the people over at Hypnos were starting to panic as well. Riley and Talley were getting a huge reading through the network.
"Sir! We've picking up a large activity patterns taking place within the digital world! Its something we've never felt before. And the worldwide crises are the result of it! There's now a large magnetic wave occurring in our plane of existence."
"Riley! Its best we leave it alone. I'm its one of those digimon. I'm willing to bet that this single force is enough to wipe out an entire plane of existence. We must not underestimate it!"
"Yes, sir. Tracers are now deactivated."
Izzy looked on and knew exactly whom the power was. Tentomon could easily tell that it was none other than Omega x.
"It's Tai… Omega X is powering up to his maximum stage…"
"No way! You're kidding?! Prodigious! That means Tai and Agumon make up the single, most powerful being in three worlds!"
****************************************************************************************
Biyomon felt Omega X's ki growing even when in the real world. Sora noticed her digimon partner turned away to face the skies.
"Biyomon? What is it?"
"I feel them."
"Huh?"
"Tai and Agumon. It looks like they've reached another new plateau."
"Biyomon. You mean to tell me that they've reached another level. Is there any limit to Omega X?"
"No. His power knows no limits."
"Stupid Tai… Just don't go crazy over that new power. Make me proud."
***************************************************************************************
"Yolei! Yolei! It's Tai! He's powering up-"
"Can we talk later? Mimi and I were just watching Friends!"
"Well we were! Now the TV is on the damn fritz!" Mimi replied. "These earthquakes have been going insane lately! Now this one is even more ridiculous!"
"Aplmon? Do you feel it?"
"Yeah. Tai and Agumon are definitely on top of their game! Whoever this new enemy they're facing, I just know that they'll bash that nobody's brains in."
"Yolei and Mimi don't have a clue," Hawkmon replied. "Should we tell them?"
"Nah, let's leave them with their Friends."
"That was harsh, Palmon," the bird digimon thought.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the darkest corners of the city, Demon sat on his throne. He was planning to begin another night raid, until he felt Omega X's increasing ki. He had never felt such a power and it greatly surpassed even his.
"Who possesses such a great power? I must know who is creating this shock affect! No matter. This power is in that alternate dimension. I can still play with the weaklings of this world," the demon digimon stated.
Suddenly, another shockwave rushed through and this brought sudden attention to Demon. He was now sweating bullets like never before.
"Will he quit that already?!"
***************************************************************************************
Digital World
Even after all of that, Omega X's transformation still continues on. His head is quickly thrown back while the ground is still shaking.
Even on the other digital world, the digimon were feeling the same effect. Mummymon cried out as he ducked for cover while the walls were about to cave in on him.
"What the hell is going on?! It feels as if the worlds are going to be destroyed! It's the end of the world! I want my digi-mommy…"

[Super Saiyan 3 theme continues playing]
Omega X hunches forward once again and his hair is shown as very long and streaked on his back as if he were a hedgehog. The golden streams of the light sphere were now shooting out through the clouds from above. His eyes were now starting to turn into a much, more heavenly blue color as a result and lighting was striking all around his pupils. Images of every one of Agumon's transformations were shown. Koromon. Agumon. Greymon. Metal Greymon. War Greymon. Omega X. Omega X level two. The entire area is bathed in a purely golden light as Omega X stands with his head thrown back, screaming.
D-Reaper screams while Dark Magimon throws up his arms to shield himself from the force of the transformation. The light fades away and the wind dies down. Magimon's cape comes to a rest behind him and he lowers his arm, gasping at what looks like Omega X's new transformation.
[Dragonball Z "Battle theme" plays]
Omega X no longer has an aura of light. He's now actually glowing gold and orange. His hair now goes back instead of up, like that of a hedgehog. And its increased length reaches down to his waist. His hair isn't brown any longer but now it was now actually glowing a gold color. His eyebrows have disappeared and a strand of hair hangs down his face. But his armor suit still remained intact. He glares right over towards D-Reaper and Magimon.
Dark Magimon stares at him with wide eyes. Lighting dances all around Omega X and the glowing has stopped, which was now replaced by an aura once again.
Each of the Tamers was shocked as ever. Everyone, from Takato to Rika to Henry and all the way to Suzie. Even, Ken was shocked. They each had widened eyes and gaping mouths.
Omega X looks across his adversaries with a grin on his face.
"This is Omega X level three. I'm sorry it took so long, but I'm still not used to this transformation."
Omega X's hair flows behind him as if it were blown by a light breeze and electricity around him starts to persist. Dark Magimon gasps in horror at what he was seeing. The light fades away and the wind dies down. Magimon pulls away his cape and straightens himself out. He goes gazing over at Omega X's newest third level transformation.
Is this what Tai and Agumon were talking about?! Their hidden maximum power?! Whoa! I must say that those two really have it in them! Now that they surpassed the normal digital fusion level, can third level Omega X put a dent into D-Reaper and stop her from destroying the digital world? And can the Tamers make it out in time while Omega X takes care of both Magimon and D-Reaper at the same time? Can the third level of digital fusion live up to its expectations? Can our other heroes begin to crack down on Demon's case?

Ken: Don't you miss it!
***************************************************************************************
SSJ4T: We're back! I hope you enjoyed the debut of Fusion Level Three. You'll get to see him in action next time! As you know, Tambourinemon is a character based from one of King Piccolo's minions from the original Dragonball series.
Max: But this duel is set to end! Panik has been winning through, but that Bakura is not taking it lying down.
Panik: This duel is over for you! I used the Castle of Dark Illusions before you extinguished it! It doesn't matter. You're life points are down to 200 while mine stand at 1000!
Bakura: Sorry, but this duel is over for you.
Panik: What's that?!
SSJ4T: Man, he's dueling with intimidation again. It didn't even work with Yugi. Do you even expect it to work with Bakura?
Panik: It was his fault for sending Bonz and his friends to the Shadow Realm.
Bakura: I prefer to call it eternal limbo, but yeah, the Shadow Realm definitely fits that description. You'll be joining them.
Panik: You're down to 200! It's over for you!
Bakura: Not if I use my Ectoplasmer. Now I've reduced your life points!
Panik: No! But, I'm still in the game.
Bakura: Barely. You won't be celebrating for long my friend.
Yugi: This duel is not over yet! We'll have the conclusion to this Halloween duel on the next D-Reaper chapter!
SSJ4T: So, until then be sure to check it out. We'll have more Halloween guests and surprises along the way! Be sure to go watch some horror movie or Halloween-themed animes in the meantime.
Max: Until then, we're out!
Coral: Peace!

Omega X Level Three is Awesome! Demon's Hordes Descend!
The Central Digiverse. The Grand Digital Planet
Looking on through her viewing orb, Keke watched Omega X in his third level form facing off against the deadly duo. She has seen a transformation from another warrior many years ago, yet she never thought she would be seeing it again.
"Isn't this just amazing, X?"
The masked warrior did not return a response to the girl. He was looking out while feeling out Omega X's ki. This ki was over the top. X once harnessed this same power at one point, yet that was during his prime.
"Tai. Just stay alive. You play a major role in this whole fiasco. I will need your help eventually. The Time Chamber has done you favors. Now, it's time to display your abilities to their full extent."
****************************************************************************************
Digital World
The showdown between the corrupted deletion program and the super fusion warrior at the third level was now about to take place. The winds were as strong as ever and the clouds were rotating around where Omega X was levitating.
[Super Sayian english background theme plays]
Omega X stands before both Dark Magimon and D-Reaper. His power was pushing out a ring of waves around him from an ocean below, but things have no become significantly much calmer since his transformation was complete. Dark Magimon clenches his fists growling at the fusion warrior, while D-Reaper simply smiles. Omega X stares over at his adversaries. D-Reaper points over to him with a smile on her face.
"You've got a scary face, but I'm not scared of you at all!"
"Th-that's right, you fool! I don't care if you are a fusion warrior at the third level, its all just a front," exclaimed the sorcerer, "You can easily take him, D-Reaper."
Magimon darted his eyes from Omega X and then over to D-Reaper, then he turns his attention back to D-Reaper.
"I'm ready. Show me what you're made of!" said Omega X.
"Everyone in the digital world is watching this through me. D-Reaper, put him to shame!"
D-Reaper giggles and turns her attention back towards Omega X while smiling to herself. The evil sorcerer was now losing his patience as he looked towards D-Reaper.
"Kill him, now, D-Reaper!"
Omega X stares down from the corner of his eye towards the ocean below. D-Reaper holds out her arms and starts to chant some unknown, computer language. Suddenly, Omega X goes charging forward. As soon as he flies out, Omega X quickly disappears within the speed of light. This caught the D-Reaper by surprise. She turns to see Omega X from above and then to the left. Dark Magimon goes crying out in shock as Omega X delivers a devastating knee shot to D-Reaper's face. D-Reaper goes plummeting down into the ground.
"No! D-Reaper!"
Omega X phased right in the monster's path and kicks her back up, then catches up with him back on the way up and grabs her by her ponytails. D-Reaper manages to pull herself back up but then gets nailed right in the face by Omega X's fist. Omega X follows it up with a strong punch to her head. Dark Magimon gasps at what he was seeing. Omega X began to attack with sheer tenacity after pulling back on her ponytails and delivering hard punches to her face. This eventually goes on for a few moments. D-Reaper isn't even making an attempt to defend herself.
"What the hell are you doing, D-Reaper?!"
Omega X continues beating up upon D-Reaper like a punching bag.
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the battle grounds
The Tamers stopped as they watched the battle from the orb. Takato and Rika looked on with widened eyes and gaping mouths. The digimon were just as surprised at what they were seeing. However, Renamon seemed to be bothered at the very moment. Rika took notice of this.
"Renamon? Why aren't you paying attention to the fight? Something obviously has to be bothering you."
"I feel his presence."
"Him?"
"Yes. He's out there and I can feel his presence. He's weakening. Rika, will you go out to help him recover him?"
"Of course."
"Hey! Where do you think you two are going?" asked Kazu, "Your going to miss the fight!"
"We know that Omega X is going to take care of the D-Reaper. But Renamon and me are going to go out and do something really important," said Rika.
"But, you can't just go out there alone! For all we know, the chaos might find you!" exclaimed Ryo, "Don't tell me that your crazy enough to pull off such a stunt?!"
Rika forms a smirk across her face whole giving thumbs up towards them as she holds onto Renamon.
"Call me when something happens in the fight, goggle head. We'll be right back."
As soon as she said that, Renamon goes leaping into the air and was running off as fast as anyone could ever imagine.
"Grr. I can't believe that Rika. I've never met anybody so stubborn," Ryo growled.
"Well, that's Rika. What can I say, she's stubborn but proud to admit it," said Henry, "She'll be back."
"That's for sure," Takato replied, "Besides I promised that I would fill her in on the fight."
"You think she'll make it back here in time?" asked Jeri.
"I have no doubt in my mind, Jeri," said Takato, "Right Guilmon?"
"Yeah, plus she has Renamon with her. What could go wrong?"
"Nothing unless the chaos finds them," Leomon said to himself.
"Look! Omega X is giving the D-Reaper a beating. I've never seen that thing dominated by any one force," said Sonja.
"No kidding. If he keeps this up, there's no way that the D-Reaper will want to continue," Ken said.
"Unless of course, Omega X knocks it out in the first round. That would really be a big bummer for the D-Reaper," Terriermon remarked.
"But a huge favor for us," said Lopmon.
The Tamers continued to watch the fight, as the battle was just about to get more intense. Takato could only look on with great anticipation.
****************************************************************************************
Back into the battle location
Omega X was continuing on giving the D-Reaper the swing and punch combo for nearly a few minutes this far. It didn't look like that Omega X was going to give out so soon and looked strong as ever.
"Grr! What are you doing, D-Reaper?! Fight back!" the evil sorcerer exclaimed.
[Prodigy "Smack my B*tch up" plays]
Finally, Omega X pulls back for one more strong punch and nails it leaving a dent on D-Reaper's face. He then grips her ponytails with both hands and began to spin her around. After that, he releases her with a very sufficient speed. Dark Magimon cried out again as D-Reaper goes sailing down onto the little town below. She smashes into a small bank. Soon as that happened, a huge dust cloud erupts around her entry, and then a straight crack runs down the bank building until another dust explosion occurs on the other side of it. The hop half goes falling down upon the lower half, which causes the building to collapse in a cloud of dust. Omega X stares down at the destruction that D-Reaper was lying around on.
Just then, a crowd of Starmon and Vegiemon were surrounding the fallen bank with sheer sadness.
"What the hell?! What happened to our bank!" exclaimed Starmon.
"It's gone! There goes our money deposits!" a Vegiemon cried out. "There goes my vacation plans!"
Suddenly, the clear pathway through cuts the dust clouds into two halves. Confused digimon citizens stare down at the hole as D-Reaper quickly races back into the air. She stops in the sky, looking down for a moment and then turns her attention back over to Omega X. A grin forms across her face. Omega X glares down at her, with his body facing one direction with his head turned towards D-Reaper.
"Way to go, D-Reaper!"
"She was barely even hurt!"
D-Reaper was still smiling as she holds up her hands and began to mumble with some more technological, computer language that not even Omega X could understand. Omega X turns around and watches in shock as D-Reaper launching a barrage of ki blasts.
"Oh my god! Thats Metalla X's attack!"
Omega X began to bat away each ki blast as it comes, and Dark Magimon tries his best to avoid each deflected ki. D-Reaper halts her sudden attack and phases right behind Omega X. The fusion warrior turns around, while D-Reaper is smiling at him. Her smile turns into that of an evil grin as Omega X sizes her up again.
"Just by fighting very little, she can steal an opponent's technique!"
"What are you doing, D-Reaper?! Hurry and kill him!"
With that said, D-Reaper pulls back her fist as if she were about to punch several yards away. Omega X gasps as he squints to see D-Reaper's fist starting to fly at him while D-Reaper remains stationary. Omega X is shocked, and can't react fast enough, as he gets punched right in the face. He falls back a little and lies back for a few moments. Finally, Omega X turns his head and smiles, as if he hadn't been affected by it. D-Reaper looks on and returns a smile on her own.
Omega X flies forward again, kicking D-Reaper hard in the face. D-Reaper goes falling back, but quickly regains control and launches herself up again. She punches Omega X in the face, which causes Omega X to respond with one of his own. They then start with the usual block and hit attack combination for a few moments. They end up holding out each other's hands, with their palms out and ki blasts forming. They shoot at each other and caused them both to fall apart but neither inflicted any kind of damage to one another. They stare each other down for a few seconds.
"Your pretty strong for a good guy," said D-Reaper, "You're a strong digimon nonetheless."
Omega X returned with a smile on his face.
"Same to you."
"Hey! D-Reaper! Why are you wasting my time?!"
D-Reaper's smile disappears and she quickly growls. She narrows her eyes over towards the evil sorcerer as if giving him a death glare.
"Hurry up and kill him!"
"SILENCE YOU USELESS PIECE OF DATA!"
Dark Magimon gasps at what D-Reaper had just said as he goes cowering back with widened eyes.
"What?! How dare you say that to me?! Especially to me, you're master! Hey! Are you even listening to me, D-Reaper?! Hurry up and finish him so that we can keep going!"
Omega X turns around and Dark Magimon takes notice of this as an idea quickly came to the sorcerer's mind.
"Ah! I see! You're stalling time for those brats to escape! Well, transaction cancelled, Omega X! Hey! D-Reaper beat this guy up and force him to tell me where those brats are!"
D-Reaper's evil grin quickly returns. Omega X looks back towards D-Reaper.
"Looks like I'm just going to have to give them some more time," Omega X said to himself.
As soon as he said that, the fusion warrior quickly phases out once again, which catches D-Reaper by surprise. Omega X appears right above D-Reaper and kicks her hard on the side of the head. D-Reaper goes sailing back from the impact hit but manages to catch herself. Omega X appears right in front of her. He begins kicking D-Reaper in the face, and D-Reaper does nothing to protect herself. Omega X appears next to D-Reaper and punches her again in the face. D-Reaper falls back several feet but stops herself once again. Omega X reappears right in front of her. She looks up at Omega X and shoots out a pink ki blast from her mouth. Omega X saw it coming and bats it away. He then continues on forward.
D-Reaper charges forward again and began throwing a flurry of punches, but Omega X dodges each one. Omega X flies up and glares down at the monster once again as D-Reaper was catching her breath.
Dark Magimon nervously backs away as both D-Reaper and Omega X move towards him. Omega X once again pummels away at D-Reaper, who puts up very little resistance. Lighting constantly erupts from the center of the battle. Omega X ends his assault with a strong punch to the face that sends D-Reaper flying back. Dark Magimon is shocked at how easily the D-Reaper was being thrown around.
"D-Reaper! What's wrong, D-Reaper?!"
Just then, D-Reaper stops, growls under her breath and launches herself back towards Omega X to resume the battle. They go on with another kick and punch fighting combination that went on. Omega X blocks out a strong punch with his wrist, which caused lighting to continue shooting from between them.
Digimon were looking up from the city and were in awed shock. They saw nothing but two flashes of lights colliding with one another at rapid speed.
"What is going on up there?" pondered a Tapirmon.
"What is that?!" a Pumpkinmon asked. "It looks like a pair of giant fireflies!"
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the battle
Even the Tamers were watching the battle through the orb. They were watching in anticipation to see their comrade beat the D-Reaper with everything he's got.
"Way to go, Tai!" exclaimed Takato.
"Hang in there, Omega X," said Henry.
"I still can't believe that is really Tai out there," Ken muttered, "Fusion warrior level three is more powerful than anything we could have ever imagined."
They were all in silence as they went to concentrate watching the fight between the two super powered warriors.
****************************************************************************************
Back on the battle site
["Smack my B*tch Up" continues playing]
Omega X has once again backs on the offensive. He halts his attack for a moment to pull back, and with a shout, delivers a strong kick to D-Reaper's stomach. D-Reaper felt it for a moment but then she grins as she began to expand, gulfing Omega X's body. Dark Magimon watches gleefully. Omega X struggles with all of his might against the over-expanding D-Reaper. She grins as Omega X began to disappear.
"Way to go, D-Reaper! Now squish him to death!"
Omega X has just about completely disappeared within D-Reaper when a bright light appears and lightning begins to strike out from the small hole through which the last of Omega X was visible. Dark Magimon screams and dives away as the lightning turns into that of a golden ki wave. D-Reaper screams while getting engulfed in a sphere of golden ki.
"I can't believe it! D-Reaper!"
Omega X quickly freed himself as he looks back over his shoulder with a slight grin on his face. He turns back around to face D-Reaper, who was now deflated and floating away. She began to inhale until she went back to her normal self again.
Omega X goes flying right at D-Reaper, punching her in the face as soon as they met. D-Reaper falls back and Omega X knees her in the face. She goes falling once again. But she manages to catch herself quickly. She sits up and unleashes a barrage of red ki blasts, which Omega X easily swats away. Omega X cups his hands together and shoots out a yellow blast, but D-reaper catches it between her hands and crushes it into data. They fly at each other and start off with another kick and punch combo slugfest. D-Reaper knocks Omega X back for a second and stops to pose triumphantly in response to Magimon's cheers. But Omega X takes no chance to waste time as he goes jumping up and delivers a kick to D-Reaper's face. Magimon slaps his forehead in response.
"What's that idiot thinking?!"
Omega X powers up with more lightning running all over his body. D-Reaper lunges forward and she throws a punch, but hits only air as Omega X phased out. She looks up and sees Omega X hovering several yards away. She screams out while flying forward again, but only to stumble into empty air once again. She looks up and angrily sees Omega X standing a good distance away. Steam comes out from her ears as she throws her arms and legs out frantically like a child. Dark Magimon hovers right next to D-Reaper and faces Omega X.
"Why aren't you fighting back and running away?!"
But D-Reaper goes flying out to try to punch Omega X, only to hit air instead. Omega X reappears a few feet again and D-Reaper rushes out towards him, but misses once again. This goes on for a few more times, which was now starting to get under the skin of the D-Reaper. Each time, D-Reaper is hitting nothing but thin air. She stops and vents out more steam and lunges forward, but instead of phasing out. Omega X sticks his right boot out and delivers a kick to D-Reaper's face.
The force sent a small shockwave around them. Omega X pulls back and D-Reaper regains her senses. She began to fail out her arms and legs angrily and screaming like a cry baby. She quickly disappears which caught Omega X by surprise. He gasps once D-Reaper reappears right in front of his face. She smashes her head into Omega X's face. As a result, an explosion of lightning and shockwaves erupt out of nowhere. Omega X falls back as Magimon joins D-Reaper.
"Way to go, D-Reaper!"
But Omega X gets his second wind as he basically starts beating up on D-Reaper, who does nothing but go on the defense for a moment. Finally, D-Reaper holds out his hands and forms a red ki blast, pushing Omega X back.
"Way to go! You've got him now!" exclaimed the evil sorcerer.
Omega X rides the blast back for a while, but quickly neutralizes it by powering up his ki. He then grins as he watches D-Reaper doing her little victory dance.
"You're stronger than I expected, D-Reaper."
D-Reaper stopped and then signs as she speaks up.
"Here I go again!"
Omega X glares at her. D-Reaper pulls back her arm, and then throws a punch, her arm extending to cover the distance between them. Omega X ducks below the punch. D-Reaper throws out the other hand and Omega X jumps above it. He flies in feet first and kicks D-Reaper in the face. As she falls back, D-Reaper uses her still extended arms to grab Omega X by the shoulders. She grins and retracts the arms, pulling herself back up to Omega X. As soon as she arrives, she again hits Omega X in the face with her own head. Omega X falls back, but quickly manages to recover. He then powers up his most powerful attack.
"Terra Beam!"
He shoots it out straight through D-Reaper and continues on. Magimon's eyes go wide and cries out in surprise.
"What?! What was that?!"
D-Reaper drifts into the sky with a gaping hole in her midsection. Omega X smiles as he watches from behind his still-outstretched arms.
"No! D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper slowly raises her head and smiles. Omega X takes notice of this. D-Reaper rights herself up, still sporting a huge hole and she lets out a low humming noise as a ball of light covered her. As quickly as that, the hole in her midsection vanished and she was healed up.
"Ha! Yes! Long live, D-Reaper!" exclaimed Dark Magimon.
Omega X glares up at D-Reaper as she moves into a position above him.
"I can't believe it! Here we go again! Terra Beam!"
D-Reaper forms a red ki blast between her hands and fires it right at Omega X. Omega X holds out his hands together and bats the blast away. It goes flying right back up towards D-Reaper, so she hits it away and it shoots out right towards Magimon. He screams but manages to dodge it. The blast goes shooting out and explodes in the background, creating a strong wind as a result. Omega X now seemed to be struggling, while D-Reaper was doing just fine at the moment.
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
While the battle between the two super powers was taking place, Renamon and Rika took this chance to look for that certain individual that almost tried to kill them. They were both standing on top of a cliff side while looking out into the open.
"So, you really think he's here?" Rika asked.
"I know so. I can feel his presence. He's weakening."
"But should we even be doing this? After all, he almost killed us."
"I think it's right. There's always been a strong connection between Impmon and myself. I also felt the need to protect him, just as I felt the need to protect everybody else."
Suddenly, the wind was blowing by and a familiar red bandana landed right in Renamon's hands. She took it and handed it over to Rika.
"You know what? Ever since we bio-merged into Sakuyamon, I've started to feel the need to protect others such as myself. As if I were now starting to care about every other living creature. How could I have been so cold towards the people that were trying to help me?"
"It's a change and you've changed for the better, Rika. I'm very thankful that you and I are working together. Besides, friends are always there for each other."
"Yeah, but friends never talk back the wrong way."
"If he gets all mouthy, I'll gag him with his bandana. Deal?"
"Deal."
Renamon picks up Rika and goes running down the hill to begin her search for the lost rookie. She could feel his presence and he wasn't very far away. She would have to reach to him as soon as possible.
****************************************************************************************
Back at the battle site
D-Reaper glares right at Omega X with a devilish grin on her face but Omega X glares right back to her. Magimon is getting thrashed by the winds but manages to right himself.
"Watch it! You almost killed me, you damn ditz!"
D-Reaper looks out from the corner of her eye towards the sorcerer. He soon began to laugh manically.
"That destroyed almost one-tenth of the digital world! What kind of a hero are you?!"
The sorcerer began to taunt Omega X, but he simply ignored Magimon.
"D-Reaper! You're incredible! Even though you look bad, you're still a great fighter. You were able to master that technique after only seeing it once. I'm impressed," Omega X said.
D-Reaper replied with a smile and placing her hands on her hips.
****************************************************************************************
Back on the other side of the Digital World
The Tamers were looking on through the orb, but now they were starting to worry about Rika and Renamon. It had almost been fifteen minutes since they last left. But Takato was more worried for the two and he began looking out into the distance.
"Rika. Renamon. You guys better hurry and quick. The fight looks like is about to end. D-Reaper might actually find us after all."
Out within the landscape and far off from the Tamer's location, Rika and Renamon stopped at the middle of a canyon valley as they found none other than Impmon laying on the ground with bruises all over his body.
"Impmon! It's us," Renamon said.
"Renamon? Rika?"
"Impmon! Lets go we have to get out of here," the neon fox said.
As she tried to help him up to his feet, Impmon shrugged her off and hisses angrily. He didn't want their help now, In fact, he never wanted their help since the beginning.
"What?! You really think I want your help?! I don't want to go back to that human playground called earth!"
Rika goes walking up towards Impmon and gently places the bandana around his neck once again. Impmon gasps since Rika didn't even knock him out.
"You're joking right? Well, you know what? I was just joking too."
"Well, looks like the jokes on us. Come on. We have to get away from here. No telling when the D-Reaper is going to come back," said Rika.
They looked up as the skies quickly turned dark, which signified that the battle was far from over. Golden streaks of lightning were forming and energy was shooting down at the landscape below.
"We have to get out of here! Omega X's energy is causing side effects to the digital world!" exclaimed Renamon.
Rika picks Impmon up and hops into Renamon's arms as they headed out from the location and towards the far off distance. They had no time to waste and needed to get back to the Tamers as soon as possible before the shockwaves will reach over towards them.
****************************************************************************************
Back over at the battle site
Omega X looks off into the corner of his eye and felt the movements of none other than Renamon.
"Hm? Renamon is beginning to move. They must have found Impmon and are leaving the eastern section. All right! My job here is done!"
Omega X charged up his ki and quickly fades back into his second level form and back into his normal state. He sighs, which caught both D-Reaper and Magimon by surprise.
"What?!"
"Huh?! Hey why did you change back to normal?" asked D-Reaper, "That fight was fun. Lets fight some more."
"I'm flattered," replied Omega X, "But I have to go now. I can't spend too much time playing with you. Sorry, but I've got to go."
"Fool! You think we'd let you get away? Show him, D-Reaper! Kill him! After we kill him, then we shall move onto the eastern section and kill everyone there too. Those three that attacked me are sure to come to us."
"Listen, Magimon. In two days, Imperialdramon, my sister and TK will come to you along with Rika, Renamon and Ken. Don't do anything until then. Don't cause any more meaningless deaths. Just two more days! That's it! Got it?"
D-Reaper smiles and then goes to ask Omega X a question concerning the digimon that Dark Magimon had mentioned.
"Are they strong?"
"Of course!"
"Ooh! Goody!"
"Do you think that I'd go along with that?! You just made me want to kill them even more."
"Too bad. I always thought it would have been a much more fun fight for D-Reaper. Hey Magimon, when you go to hell, we'll be sure to tell the Gate Keeper to save for a special punishment for you."
Dark Magimon growls and simply flips the fusion warrior off vulgarly. Omega X simply nodded.
"Shove it, Omega X!"
"See ya!"
With that said, Omega X placed his two fingers on his forehead and quickly phases out using his 'time force' teleportation technique. D-Reaper gasps and looksa round her surroundings. Magimon's eyes go wide with surprise.
"H-he disappeared!"
D-Reaper continues looking on from side to side around her surroundings.
"What was that?! Why did he come here?! Hey, D-Reaper! You let him get away! You dumb child!"
Magimon pauses but D-Reaper have her back towards the sorcerer and didn't even make a response to him.
"He should still be around here somewhere. Lets find him quickly!"
But, D-Reaper still does nothing but stands there. Dark Magimon was now starting to lose his patience towards the creature. However, D-Reaper wasn't going to be taking this verbal abuse lying down.
"Hey, can't you hear me, you idiot?! Find him!"
D-Reaper turns and glares ahead angrily towards Dark Magimon. But then, her glare quickly turns back into a smile.
"Magimon."
"Huh? What is it?"
"I just had a good idea."
"What? A good idea? You're too simple-minded. You're still a child. I'm sure it can't be good. Good ahead and tell me anyway."
She flies slowly over towards the evil sorcerer and holds her hand to her mouth, as if she were passing a secret.
"You see, Magimon… I say we…"
"What is it? Tell me quickly, then go find that guy."
Suddenly, D-Reaper smiles devilishly and her hands shoot out. She wraps them around Dark Magimon's neck. The sorcerer screams out while kicking away helplessly as D-Reaper grins. She holds him up over her head.
"Heh. Now you can't talk, can you? So you can't imprison me ever again!"
Magimon gags out as his tongue protrudes from his mouth with his eyes starting to widen and becoming bloodshot.
****************************************************************************************
Back on the other side
The Tamers were soon about to head out as ordered by takato and Guilmon, but then they stopped as something materialized right in front of them.
"Alright! Tai! You're back!" exclaimed Takato.
Tai and Agumon were back as the group crowded around them while giving away their complements towards his fight against the D-Reaper.
"You were great out there, dude," Kazu said.
"You kicked major D-Reaper butt!" exclaimed Kenta.
"Impressive. You sure showed the D-Reaper what you're really made of. You caught us by surprise," said Henry.
"Yeah. Omega X of the third level was out of this world," said Takato.
"So, when's Rika getting back? We have to head out soon," Tai said.
"She should be back anytime now," said Guilmon, "They went to go find somebody. Don't worry. They'll be back before you know it."

Deep within the desert landscape, Rika was riding on top of Kyuubimon with Impmon lying in her arms. Kyuubimon was taking off at a very long distance and was trying to make it over to the site of the other Tamers as soon as possible.
"Hang on guys! We're almost there! Just don't go on without me,"Rika said to herself.
****************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon puts up a futile resistance against D-Reaper's grip.
"I've learned a lot from you," D-Reaper giggled like a child. "But I don't need you anymore. I can't stand such a disgusting creature such as you."
She smiles and pulls back her fist with her free hand. She raises it and pulls back tightly.
"Analyze complete. Dark Magimon, sorcerer of darkness, you shall be the next to be deleted. Now, you go bye, bye!"
She then pulls forwards with rapid speed as Magimon watches in horror. Her fist was flying forward and nails him right in the face. Magimon's head bloats up and explodes, spraying purple blood, as D-Reaper's fist plunges through it effortlessly. Small, purple globs fall from the sky as the top of Magimon's neck pulsates. D-Reaper's hateful expression turns into that of glee. She tosses the decapitated carcass away, and then fires a pink ki blast at it, wiping out Magimon's remains.
She flashes a grin and starts to throw her arms up triumphantly. Magimon's body exploded into red data, which D-Reaper quickly absorbed. She goes and does a little victory dance.
"YAHOO! YAHOO! YAHOO! Yeah! Go! Go! Go!"
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital World
Just as the Tamers were complementing on Tai and Agumon for their battle against the D-Reaper, the digimon were all starting to sport serious looks on their faces and looked up to the skies. The Tamers immediately took notice of this.
"Agumon, what's wrong?"
"Guilmon?"
"Terriermon?"
"What's going on, Leomon?" Jeri asked.
Leomon walks up behind Tai and Agumon to get a better power reading on Dark Magimon and he felt nothing but a dying power.
"Agumon! What do you sense?" asked Leomon.
"D-Reaper did it," replied Agumon.
"What?" asked Takato.
"D-Reaper just killed Magimon," Guilmon said.
"Huh?! What?! That's insane!" Kazu exclaimed.
"What he said!" Guardromon replied.
"No he's right. Magimon's ki is gone," said Leomon.
"We know that D-Reaper would do something like this sometime," said Tai, "But she really did it."
"T-Then, she has no one left to take orders from," said Henry, "Maybe now, the D-Reaper will settle down."
"Now peace will return back to the digital world," Jeri said.
Tai and Agumon both retained serious looks on their faces while looking out towards the skies.
"I don't know," Tai said, "But I hope so."
They both looked back to when they laid down the ground rules towards D-Reaper as far as waiting for two days for his opponents was concerned.
Flashback
"Listen, Magimon. In two days, Imperialdramon, my sister and TK will come to you along with Rika, Renamon and Ken. Don't do anything until then. Don't cause any more meaningless deaths. Just two more days! That's it! Got it?"
D-Reaper smiles and then goes to ask Omega X a question concerning the digimon that Dark Magimon had mentioned.
"Are they strong?"
"Of course!"
"Ooh! Goody!"
End of Flashback
But as far as Agumon and Tai were concerned, they weren't sure whether peace should return or not. It depends on what the D-Reaper decides to do in the meantime.
"I hope she'll calm down. That's all I can ever ask for."
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
D-Reaper flies, passing over oceans and islands, still ecstatic over her new freedom away from Dark Magimon. She examines each landscape with curiosity.
"Yahoo! No More Magimon! No more Magimon! What should I destroy first?! There! There! Over there! Hee! Hee!"
D-Reaper pointed down to a city in the horizon and hovering towards it. As soon as she goes landing down, the population of digimon citizens was starting to run away in fear at the sight of the D-Reaper. As soon as she stops, everybody halted to a complete, dead stop. She takes a deep breath and puffs out her cheeks. He holds it for a few moments. As soon as she exhaled, the air goes bursting out and starts destroying sections of the entire city. An overpass collapses and the destruction spreads outward from there. She starts to inhale again as more digimon started to flee away as soon as possible before she exhaled again.
As soon as she exhaled a second breath, tons of debris were being thrown into the air and toppling a nearby skyscraper. She turns her head, sending out air into a arc near her. D-Reaper smiled as she watched more buildings collapsing. The digimon all stared up in awe and fear at what they were looking at. D-Reaper stands in the middle of a semi-cleared area of a nearby city. She looked all around and saw nothing but frightened looks across the faces of digimon all huddled behind wreckage and debris.
"Ready! Go!"
The digimon all screamed out as they started to run away as D-Reaper was flying forwards to them She goes crashing through several buildings as they simply exploded and collapsed behind her. A cloud of dust trails him as he runs through the city. She stops and began to laugh.
"This is pretty boring. Nobody is even coming to stop me, so I'm just going to lay waste to this city…"
She began dancing around the city, stopping just a few feet where she had started. She holds up her arms and is surrounded by a pink dome of light, which then extends outward and obliterates what was left of the great city. An enormous mushroom cloud rises over it and a shockwave throws up a dust cloud around the fallen city.
As soon as the light faded and the dust cloud cleared away, D-Reaper was standing among pile of debris and devastated land. Nothing was left, not even any digimon life.
"I'll play by deleting these helpless digimon! Yay! Yay! Game Start!"
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku.
Yolei and Hawkmon were seen outside their apartment home. The purple-haired girl looked out towards the skies. She was simply thinking about the others.
"I wonder what kind of fun those funs are having over there in that digital world?"
"Believe me, Yolei. I wouldn't count on them having any fun," Hawkmon replied.
"Yeah, but finding and exploring a new digital world ought to be fun. I really wish I could have gone. I wonder how Ken and Davis are doing."
"I'm sure they're staying out of trouble, especially Davis. He's just like Tai and Matt. He'll always find a way to keep himself preoccupied."
"Knowing him, he's probably over his head again."
"Yolei…"
She turns around to find Mimi walking out from the apartment. Mimi joined Yolei to view the beautiful scenery. There was a half moon out with clouds shrouding it. It had been nearly two days since the gang had left to the alternate Digital World.
"You think those guys will be fine?" Mimi asked. "I know I shouldn't be worrying, but I was just curious."
"With Tai and Matt on their side, how can those guys possibly lose?"
"I don't know, which is why I ask."
"You shouldn't worry. They'll be back before you know it."
"I hope your right, Yolei."
Suddenly, Hawkmon felt an unpleasant ki coming the shrouded clouds. The girls took notice of this.
"Hawkmon? What's eating ya?" Yolei said. "Was it the burritos you ate?"
"No, we have company. It seems another uninvited guest decided to intrude our peaceful moment," Hawkmon replied. "Another digimon bio-emerged."
Yolei and Mimi looked towards the clouds. They were prepared for anything that was to come their way. Unfortunately, the culprit was found hanging upside down above them as if he were a bat.
"BOO!"
The girls screamed as they turned to face the demon known as Tambourinemon. Hawkmon stood in defense of the girls. Palmon came running out and stopped as Tambourinemon stood in her way.
"Who are you?! Aren't you a little early for Halloween?" Mimi asked. "That costume is so yuck!"
"I've come to kill you, Digi-Destined."
"Hey! What do you know about us?" Yolei asked.
"Lord Demon has ordered me to take your lives."
"Demon? But Celesta X destroyed him years ago!"
"That was his younger brother. He's come back for revenge. Without those fusion warriors around, he'll have this world at the palm of his hand!"
"Not without a fight! Hawkmon!"
"Let's kick some tail!"
[Digimon theme "Break Up!" plays]
Yolei's D-Terminal went off as the digimental of sincerity appeared before Hawkmon.
"Digimental Up!"
"Hawkmon armor shinka!"
The tiny bird rookie quickly evolves into a sleek, ninja-like warrior with a pair of ninja stars on his back. His face was covered by a facemask to conceal his identity.
"Shurimon! The Samurai of Sincerity!"
"All right, Shurimon! You head him off! Mimi! You're up!"
"Gotcha! You're turn, Palmon!"
"Right!"
As soon as Shurimon and Tambourinemon flew out to do battle, Mimi's digivive went off, as her rookie partner was prepared to digivolve into champion.
"Palmon shinka! Togemon!"
"Togemon is too bulky for this, so let's turn it up a notch!"
With that said, Mimi's chest started to glow with a neon green light. This light would allow Togemon to evolve once again, this time into her stronger ultimate form.
"Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
"Go for it, Lillymon!"
"Shurimon! Don't drop your guard! This ought to be a piece of cake."
Lillymon joined into the fray as she and Shurimon were trading blows with Tambourinemon. It seems as though Tambourinemon was easily dodging each of their blows. Shurimon couldn't even land a hit, let alone a slash.
"He's too fast," Shurimon replied. "Dodge this! Double Star!"
Shurimon tosses out a pair of large ninja stars. Tambourinemon easily saw them coming and catches them with ease. Shurimon was stunned as he watched Tambourinemon crush the stars into digital dust.
"He broke my stars! This monster has to be at least an ultimate-level!"
"Wrong, bucko. I'm a mega-level. You two can't even reach that level. You're dead meat."
"This guy is a mega?!" Mimi exclaimed. "Yolei! There's no way our digimon can win. Even if you and Hawkmon become Silphymon, it won't enough!"
"We're going to have to try! Shurimon! Revert back to Hawkmon!"
By Yolei's command, Shurimon de-digivolved back to Hawkmon. Yolei held out her D3 and began her digital mergence with Hawkmon.
["Beat Hit!" plays]
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
The two were then pulled towards one another as they began their jogress fusion process.
"Fusion shinka! Silphymon!"
The pair merged into a sleek warrior named Silphymon. Tambourinemon was impressed by their transformation, yet he wasn't at least intimidated.
"You may have merged into a single warrior, but you are still an ultimate. Demon has granted me power to demolish weaklings like you."
"Why don't stop singing it and bring it already!"
"Very well."
With that said, Tambourinemon vanished from sight. Lillymon flies out to the other side to cut off the demon from her path. Suddenly, Tambourinemon appears behind Silphymon. Lillymon feels out the demon's ki and cries out to her comrade.
"Silphymon! Look out!'
"What?!"
Tambourinemon delivers a chop block to Silphymon's back and sends the digimon plummeting down. Silphymon manages to stop in time. Tambourinemon caught up to the ultimate and delivers a front kick to Silphymon's face. Lillymon flies down and cups her hands together.
"Flower Cannon!"
Lillymon unleashes a powerful wave, which caught Tambourinemon by surprise. The demon catches the blast and tosses it up towards the skies. Lillymon flies down to deliver another blast, but Tambourinemon disappears. She turns and gets walloped by a right hand. Tambourinemon snares Lillymon around her neck and begins to choke the life out of her.
"Now, you die."
"Mimi… I'm sorry…
"Static Force!"
Tambourinemon turns as Silphymon blasted him in the face. The demon was taken back by the ultimate's assault.
"You caught me off guard."
"I was just getting warmed up."
"Tambourinemon. What are you doing? You have the power to finish these weaklings off! You even have me your word that you wouldn't fail. You're not living up to your word."
"Sorry, master. I was just testing them. Enough games."
"What are you doing? Day-dreaming?" Silphymon taunted.
"No, but I'm through playing around. I'm ending this," Tambourinemon said.
Tambourinemon placed his hands together and started to chant under satanic tongue. Silphymon and Lillymon couldn't make out to what he was saying.
"Lillymon! On three, we attack!"
"Ok! One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Static Force!"
The combined blasts were heading towards the unprotected demon. Suddenly, Tambourinemon stopped his chant and his eyes started glowing. He stopped the blasts in their place and pushed them back to his opposition. The ultimates were blasted by their own attacks and sent crashing through the concrete. People started screaming after hearing the explosive impacts. Tambourinemon let out a sigh and looked across the destructive path he created.
"Piece of cake. These two were nothing more than wastes. Now it's time to exterminate them."
"No! They lost?! How can we win?!" Mimi cries. "Lillymon! Silphymon! You two have to get up!"
Tambourinemon licked his lips as he prepared to make his move towards the fallen flower girl.
"Mimi… Run away…"
"I shall take your data in the name of Lord Demon!"
"No! Lillymon!"
Silphymon struggled to get up and make the next attack. Tambourinemon was prepared to deliver the final blow to Lillymon.
***************************************************************************************
Hypnos H.Q.
The Hypnos crew was picking up the activity involving Tambourinemon. Riley and Talley managed to catch it just in time for Yamaki and Izzy to find out its coordinates.
"Where is the activity coming from?" Yamaki asked.
"It's coming from the East Shinjuku area," replied Riley. "It has a very high-level reading."
"Higher level? This thing seems stronger than any of the Devas that invaded a few weeks ago!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Yes, I can also feel out Silphymon's and Lillymon's kis," Tentomon said.
"What?! They're fighting that thing?"
"They're battling it out with a mega. Even with Silphymon, it won't be enough to put this thing down for the count."
"Yamaki! We have to go and save our friends! They're out there as we speak."
"Very, well. You better be careful. This one could be dangerous."
"Right. Let's go, Tentomon!"
"Last one there is a digi-egg."
"We don't have time for games, Tentomon!"
****************************************************************************************
Demon watched the battle unfold through his viewing orb. He was pleased by the way Tambourinemon was viciously assaulting the ultimates.
"So, this is the best earth has to offer? I'm disappointed. I really wanted revenge on the one who killed my brother. Celesta X was her name? No matter. I'll be prepared when she returns. In the meantime, I'll enjoy this entertainment. Don't you disappoint me, Tambourinemon!"
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital World
The Tamers managed to find refuge inside a cavern just a mile from where they standing. Takato and Guilmon both looked out and were anticipating for Rika's return.
"Hey, Takato? What's wrong?" Tai asked.
"Just waiting for Rika and Renamon to get back. It's not very safe to be out there alone. Plus, I was just starting to miss home."
"I know what you mean. I already miss Sora already. I want this whole D-Reaper fiasco to be over with."
"Speaking of the D-Reaper, we were too optimistic about it," said Cyberdramon.
"You're right. The D-Reaper is amusing itself by causing destruction," replied Agumon, "She is really evil."
"If she wanted to, she could destroy the entire digital world right about now," said Ryo.
"But that's ok. I don't think she wants to destroy the digital world. When Tai and myself told her that two days from now, someone even stronger than Omega X at the third level would fight her. She looked pleased," Agumon explained, "I think this digital world should be safe until then. But I do feel bad about the digimon here."
"I agree. Plus the sovereigns are taking care of the chaos problem right about now," said Takato.
"TK and Davis should already have perfected the fusion by then. I'm looking forward to this new digital fusion," Tai said.
"So, digimon are able to fuse with one another? Man, I wonder what Imperialdramon and War Angemon are going to form once they merge?" pondered Kazu.
"Only one way to find out," said Terriermon, "But I really don't like waiting around. Geez, we're sitting ducks. In fact, I'm not even close to looking like one."
"C'mon, Rika. What's the hold up? You and Renamon should have been here by now," Takato thought.
The goggle boy looks out to the open and waited for the arrival of the digimon queen and Renamon. Jeri sat near Leomon and looked towards the boy with worry.
"So, tell us, Tai, how are you able to use that third level of digital fusion. That was really wicked," said Kenta.
"That third level we used back there is only supposed to be used in the land of the digimon guardians back in the other digital world. It uses too much energy in this world. You can become very tired quickly as a result," said Tai.
"I see. That's why you look so worn out," Guilmon replied.
"Don't worry. We'll eventually get our power restored," said Agumon, "It just takes some time."
Takato continues to look out from the cavern, in hopes of seeing Rika and Renamon make it back before the D-Reaper does.
****************************************************************************************
Digital Universe. Holy Realm
Angewomon's screams ring out throughout the Holy Realm. The ultimate-level digimon is standing on the grass, holding the Omega Blade right out in front of her. She lifts it and leaps through the air and starts swinging it around. As she lands, she continues on swinging it around. Shintomon and Kari watches on in amazement. After a few more swings, Angewomon tumbles forward, as she was not accustomed to holding the weight of the blade.
"Are you okay?" asked Shintomon.
Angewomon hops onto one foot, and tries to hold her balance. But she goes falling back and looks right over to Shintomon.
"I'm fine…"
With that said, the ultimate-level hopped onto her feet and resumes her training.
"I'm still shunned. No higher power has been able to pull out the Omega Blade," said Shintomon, "And yet, she's already learned to use the sword this well in such a short period of time."
"Just as I'd hoped," replied Kari, "Now Celesta X should harness the power to defeat the D-Reaper."
Angewomon stops swinging and points it into a straight stab position. After a few jabs forward, she lets the sword fall, it's blade digging into the ground, but managed to maintain a firm grip on the handle. She drops to her knees, while breathing heavily.
"Angewomon, why don't you take a break?" Shintomon asked, "You've more than enough. You've surpassed my wildest dreams."
"No, I'm not ready yet."
The female angel lifts the sword back up and resumed her training. Shintomon and Kari watched in awe as she begins swinging the sword once again. She then leaps into the air. Angewomon swings the sword with enough force as to throw up dirt several feet up into the air.
****************************************************************************************
Back in the Digital World
Henry goes walking up towards Tai and goes to ask him a question.
"Tai, there's been something I've been needing to ask you."
"Shoot, Henry."
"While you and Agumon were Omega X at the third level, if you fought all-out couldn't you defeat D-Reaper? Am I wrong?"
"No, I don't think so. D-Reaper's strength is unbelievable. We probably couldn't win."
"Probably? Why didn't you go all the way? Does it have to do with an energy problem?"
"No. Who knows what could happen. If we would have defeated the D-Reaper, there could be some sort of new enemy waiting to appear. This is a risky bet, but when I looked into TK's and Davis' hidden powers. I decided to chance it."
"Are you willing to stake the future of the digital worlds on Davis and TK?"
"Yeah. He and TK are up for it. I have faith in them. Though I might now have faith in myself, but that's a different story. Don't you think that's the better choice?"
"I guess you're right."
"Aw, c'mon Henry. If he says that Davis and TK are going to save the two worlds then he's very sure about it. We should really trust in his abilities. Just momentai, Henry."
"Right. Momentai."
Just then, the digimon all sat up and looked out towards the distance. Guilmon sniffed the air and his eyes widened as he turned to the others.
"They're back!"
"Who, Guilmon?" asked Jeri.
"Rika and Renamon! They're back!"
The group all gathered out and peered into the background to find out who was coming their way. Guilmon was correct. It was Rika riding on Kyuubimon.
"Hey guys! You thought you were just going to leave me behind?" Rika asked.
"No way! We wouldn't leave you for once," Takato replied.
"Rika! Welcome back!" Jeri cried out.
As soon as Kyuubimon came to a halt, she de-evolved back into Renamon. Rika hops down with Impmon in her arms. The group looked over in shock at whom she was holding in her arms.
"Rika?! Ugh, it's him. You went out to save Impmon?" asked Kazu, "Why waste your precious time to save him?!"
"We couldn't just leave him out there with the D-Reaper," Rika said, "Besides, everybody needs a chance to change their ways."
"But it's Impmon," Takato said, "He almost tried to kill you."
"It doesn't make a difference, Takato," Renamon replied, "He is in fact a living creature. He put his life at stake to confront the D-Reaper. There has always been a strong connection between myself and Impmon."
"What kind of strong connection?" Tai asked.
"We've known each other for a very long time. We're almost sort of like a sibling relationship… It's hard to explain…"
"I see. Kinda like myself and my sister."
"You could say that."
"Speaking of my sister, I just hope she can complete Shintomon's training. I wonder what he has in store for her. Not to mention Davis and TK training to complete their digital fusion training. This better pay off since we really don't have much time left anyhow."
"Just hang tight. They'll be back and we'll kick the D-Reaper's no good for nothing butt," remarked Terriermon. "Then, we'll watch as they layeth the smackues downeth on D-Reaper's candy ass!"
"I think he's been watching too much wrestling," Tai remarked.
"Agreed and I'm going to laugh when somebody does slap the taste out of his mouth," Henry replied.
"Well, that wasn't a nice thing to say. That was a low blow shot."
****************************************************************************************
Outer Digital Universe. Holy Realm
Lightning starts to spark out from the training grounds in Buddamon's domain. The voice of both Imperialdramon and War Angemon were ringing out through the widened landscape. Both fusion warriors charged their ki.
"Incredible! I can't believe these two have a large amount of ki."
Both quickly phased out and their auras disappeared. Buddamon steps in between them.
Okay! Your kis are at the same level," Buddamon replied, "That's enough for now, you'll have to practice more a little later."
"Um, we already know how to control our kis. We just need how to use the fusion technique," said War Angemon.
"Oh right. Well then. How should we begin? Ah yes. The hard part is perfecting the fusion technique is what follows. After you've matched your kis, if you perform the fusion dance in exactly the same way, you will succeed."
He then points both fingers over to the right hand side.
"Then you do this. Pay attention to the angle of the fingers. That's very important."
Buddamon crouches down and stands on his toes, touching his heels together. He then moves to the left on his toes, moving his arms up over his head in arch and yells.
"FUUUUSION…"
When his arms come all the way down to the opposite side, he pauses and speaks up once again.
"With your arms pointing away from each other, you get closer. You take about three steps like this."
He moves his arms back into their original position and finished the chant phrase at the same time.
"…EVOLVE!"
Then, Buddamon lifts his right leg, bending it at a knee and pointing it to the opposite direction of his arms.
"You also have to be careful about the angle of your legs as well."
He drops his leg, leans over to his left hand side with his arms outstretched over his head. His hands are in fists except for his index fingers, as he pointed them into the air.
"TO! Then you put your fingers together like this. You still have to pay attention to the angle of your legs."
Imperialdramon simply stared with widened eyes and a sweat drop coming down his face. The mega was completely speechless. War Angemon pays attention to every instruction that he had just said and took note in his head.
"Now, you two try it."
"All right!" they both exclaimed in unison.
"I know I'll screw this up. Pray that I get this right," Imperialdramon thought.
***************************************************************************************
Digital World
D-Reaper flies a bit more over the landscape of the digital world. She happens to fly upon another city and disappears into the distance as he continues on. Suddenly, a pink explosion comes out of nowhere and engulfs the entire city. She smiles, absorbs the lost data and hovers over the devastation. She started to celebrate with an evil grin on her face.
****************************************************************************************
Outside the Digital Universe.
"You two understand? The only way to defeat the D-Reaper is through this new form of digital fusion," said Buddamon, "You're going to have to learn it perfectly in the next two days."
"Right!" they both exclaimed.
"Now you two have to form a mirror image of each other when you do this pose. Okay, do it."
"Right!"
The two fusion warriors did as Buddamon told them and were now in the correct position.
"Like this?" asked Imperialdramon. "Shit. I screwed up."
"Yeah. Takeru, your arm is a little bit too low. Raise it just a bit."
War Angemon looks over to Imperialdramon and raises his arms. Buddamon claps his hand together.
"Yes. Now walk together."
They then begin the dance, while yelling together in unison.
"FUSION EVOLVE…"
War Angemon started to lose his balance while standing on one leg, but avoids falling over and quickly gets back into position."
"TO…"
They managed to lean together, but can't get their fingers to touch with one another.
"Move a little closer," said Imperialdramon.
They moved their fingers around, never managing to get index to index. Buddamon simply sighs and holds his head.
"Ok! One more time, but do it slowly."
The two performed the dance again and attempted to get it right this time.
"FUSION EVOLVE TO!"
They were able to get it right this time around. Buddamon nods with a smile on his face.
"That's starting to look good. All right! Keep practicing!"
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
There lied a peaceful landscape with trees standing while birds and butterflies flying over the luscious flowers stemming from the ground. A small village rests in the background. Suddenly, a single beam of light springs right out of the ground, followed by two more from the skies. As soon as the three beams merged into a giant ball, the town and the field were quickly wiped out within a flash of light.
D-Reaper's giggling rings out and when the light fades out, she hovers over the former town.
"Termination of Gotsumon village complete… This is just great! No more Dark Magimon to insult me! There's no one left to give me any more commands. I'm free! Yahoo!"
Then goes hovering down onto the ground and walks out of the now devastated town. She peers through the sunlight and looks around.
"Now, what city should I destroy next? I better rest for now and converse my energy. I'm getting so sleepy…"
Just then, her simple child mind was soon coming back to her. She goes skipping towards a nearby forest giggling to herself.
Deep within the other side of the forest, the digimon activity has been quiet and the citizens have been going about their businesses. A truck drives through what appears be the only road within the forest town. Soon the truck stopped as D-Reaper was standing in the middle of the road. The Apemon pushed on the brakes and then raises his fists out through the door with sheer anger.
"What the hell do you think you're doing you idiot?!"
There was no response coming from the D-Reaper as she simply stood there giggling to herself.
"Huh?! Can't you hear me?! I told you to get out of the way!"
D-Reaper looks over her shoulder and turns to face the Apemon with a smirk on her face.
"Do you think I look so cute?"
"What?! There's no way you could look cute! Have you ever looked in the mirror?! What digi-egg did you come crawling out of?! You're ugly!"
D-Reaper turns fully around and her smile slowly faded away and her eyes were glowing a dark, misty purple.
"It-It's the D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper reaches out and hits the front part of the truck, and then it goes bouncing into a nearby house. The Apemon crawled out of his truck and started to run away, screaming.
"Everybody run! It's the D-Reaper!"
With that said, a large number of digimon started making their way out from the city with horrified looks on their faces. D-Reaper laughs and hops up, turning around in the process. Everyone turns and began running away as D-Reaper makes her way over to them. Even DigiGnomes started fleeing away.
"This is a nice sanctuary. I think I'll create a resting place and sleep here."
She then looks around angrily at the loud screams and the stampeding.
"They're too noisy. I'll have to quiet these simple-minded creatures down."
She holds her hands up over her head.
"Every digital being! Gather!"
Suddenly, all of the digimon and the DigiGnomes were being lifted into the air. Digimon screamed and flailed their limbs, but to no avail.
"Now, I shall use their bodies and data to make my resting sanctuary."
She shoots out a pink beam and everybody in the air were transformed into a large glob of the chaos mass. She giggles and hurls every piece of clay into one big ball.
"Time to take out the trash…"
She takes a deep breath and exhales, blowing away the entire town into a large mass of debris and rubble. She then drops the big ball of chaos mass in the clearing in front of her and walks over towards it. She looks on and watches as it transforms into a home-like structure.
She began working on the house while humming to herself. She puts some chaos glob into place and jumps up laughing. She then holds out her arms in triumph.
"I'm done!"
She jumps down and looks over at her new 'house' so to speak. The bottom portion of it starts with a spherical form with a huge hole in the side that acts as its entrance. There were five windows around the whole house and the whole structure was a red mass, humming as it glows. She looks at it and jumps around excitedly.
"It's done! It's done! Now I can rest…"
D-Reaper goes walking inside of the house and sits on a table next to the entrance. There is an empty plate and silverware. She smashes the silverware down. She smiles and giggles.
"There is where I will eat…"
D-Reaper gets up from her seat and goes walking into a nearby room that seemed to be the bathroom, since there was a bathtub inside. She turns on the water and lies in the basin without any clothes on.
"I'm in heaven…"
After that, she placed on what seemed to be a nightgown and walks over towards what looked like a bed. She goes walking back into the bathroom and splashed water against her face, then brushes her teeth and combs her hair.
"This is where I will wash my face and my teeth. I've got such lovely hair…"
She goes walking over towards her bed and goes laying on it.
"And this shall be my resting sanctuary."
With that said, she quickly shuts her eyes and is completely knocked out after such a rough day. Destruction was her idea of fun, but she always needs her rest at the same time. This way, she could conserve her energy and begin another day of destruction for another time.
But, for some reason, she quickly gets up from bed and starts stretching out while yawning.
"That was such a nice nap… I must have slept for five seconds."
Later, she got back into her regular attire and goes walking out of her house. She stretches her limbs and yawns again.
"Well then, he said that a strong guy would come and face my in two days, right? It'll be boring until then. Ok! I'll destroy more cities once he comes! Here I go!"
D-Reaper goes flying out into the skies as she sets off to find another city to destroy to keep from boring herself to death.

Outside the Digital Universe
"Ok, one more time! Stretch out your arm. Go! One, two, one, two, one, two…"
As he claps, the warriors perform the dance in tune with his clapping.
"Alright. We really need to master this technique. Then, in no time at all, you two should merge into the ultimate fighting warrior and you shall be able to defeat the D-Reaper. We have to get serious. Now one more time!"
Imperialdramon and War Angemon shrugged to each other as they performed the fusion dance once again as Buddamon claps along with the fusion dance.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku
Tambourinemon was preparing to deliver the final blow to his fallen adversary. Silphymon struggles to get up, before Tambourinemon went to incinerate Lillymon.
"Lillymon!"
"Say hello to the after life, weakling."
Just as Tambourinemon was about to deliver the finishing blow, a thunderous blast nails Tambourinemon and sends him crashing back. Tambourinemon jumps up and turns to face his new adversary.
"Who did that?!"
Silphymon turned around to see a figure standing in the darkness. Tambourinemon faces the mystery opponent and shoots out a ki blast. The figure simply slaps it away.
"Who is that?" Silphymon pondered.
"Thunder Flash Attack!"
The figure sends out another thunderous blast, which Tambourinemon was easily able to avoid.
"Why don't you come and fight me like a-"
The figure appears above Tamourinemon and clubs him in the back. Tambourinemon plummets down and is left a battered mess.
"Me fight like a man? Don't associate me with humans."
"I'm sensing… a strong ki coming from this guy," Lillymon stated.
"I'm sensing it too," replied Silphymon. "Tambouriemon is in for a long night."
Tambourinemon lifts himself from the ground and faces the figure.
"Show yourself!"
"Not just yet. My identity won't even matter, since you'll be dead."
"I better report this to Demon! This isn't over, yet!"
With that said, Tambourinemon teleported out from the scene to return to Demon's lair. The mysterious figure turns to face the two fallen ultimates.
"You two should get healed up. It doesn't seem that these demon hordes will be leaving anytime soon."
"What is going on here?" Silphymon asked. "You seem to know a lot about this."
"That's not important now. For now, you should get healed and wait for your friends to return."
"At least tell us your name," Lillymon said.
"Pikkan. That's all you need to know."
Pikkan disappears into the darkness as the ultimates slowly got up due to their injuries. Izzy and Tentomon watched from a corner. They couldn't believe their very own eyes.
"Did you see that, Izzy? Incredible!"
"Yeah. It seems we have a new ally, yet he seems very mysterious."
"Plus, he has a very strong ki," Tentomon replied. "We better keep an on this one."
"Agreed. On and one more thing."
"What is it, Izzy?"
"Don't go pit pocketing for my candy bars."
"Aww and I am so hungry. I can't wait until Halloween. I can eat all the sweets I can eat."
**************************************************************************************
Demon growled under his breath after hearing Tambourinemon's report. He couldn't believe that Pikkan has interfered with his plans once again.
"Damn that alterian! So those fools X and Gennai have been on my case, have they? Well, I'm not about to go down that easily. Tambourinemon. I won't hold you against your claim. I can sense Pikkan's ki, too. Very well. If it's a fight he wants, then he shall receive!"
With that said, Demon forms another orb and cracks it open. Another creature came hatching out and appears before the demon lord. This new monster looked like a chunky lizard with wings, there were a pair of horns on his head and another horn on his nose.
"Arise, Cymbalmon."
"How shall I serve my master?"
"We will wait until dawn. You two are to find another Digi-Destined and destroy him. Make sure to keep your eye open for Pikkan. I will be watching."
"Yes, sire!"
"Pikkan, this isn't over."
****************************************************************************************
Back within the Digital World
The Tamers were sitting around in refuge while Tai and Agumon were looking out. Just then, Agumon felt a presence and his eyes narrowed.
"It's time…"
"What time, Agumon?"
"Tai. We have to go. It seems that Shintomon is calling for us."
"What? Are you planning on leaving? But how can you even get out of this dimension?" Leomon asked.
"Shintomon is providing one for us," said Agumon, "You guys are on your own. You all know where the portal is hidden. It leads you back into the real world. Your choice, either stay and fight or leave and go back home."
"Right. This requires everyone's participation. But if you choose to return home, it's not a problem. But just remember, you're still Tamers and its your duties to protect the city, if the D-Reaper happens to show up in our world," Tai said, "Takato. You will lead them out. Ok?"
"Not a problem Tai. I've got this one under control. You have my word."
"Thanks, Takato. I know that you're always there to depend on."
Suddenly, a portal started to open and Agumon looks over towards it with a determined look on his face.
"We have to go Tai. There's no time to waste."
"Good luck, guys. I'll be seeing you later. By the way, Takato, not only protect your friends, but also watch over Rika. Ok? Can you do that for me?"
"Um, hey! I can take care of myself!" Rika exclaimed, "But if that's what you want, then you better do a good job of that promise, goggle head."
Takato blushes and then turns to face Tai.
"Let us know how well their training goes."
"I will. Goodbye everybody."
Everyone started to wave out as Tai and Agumon ran through the portal, leading them into the outer Digital Universe.
"Tai! Don't you worry," Ken said, "I'll make sure these kids return home to their parents."
"Well, guys? Are you ready to go home?" asked Takato.
The group was now silent as the portal closed up. They weren't sure of what to do. It was either to fight and fight or go home. Takato, Rika and Henry were among those willing to stay to fight. But the others were still not sure. The enemy they must face is like no other. What they really feared was the fact that the D-Reaper might show up in their own world.
Man, what an emotionally charged predicament this whole ordeal has become! Now that Tai and Agumon have departed to go into the other world to witness the training, the Tamers are left with two choices. Stay to fight or go home. The portal leading back to the real world is still intact for another hour, can they make the decision before time runs out? Can Demon put Pikkan out before he plans on world domination?

The Omega Blade Breaks! The Birth of Super Digital Fusion: War Dramon Awakens!
Outer Digital Universe. Planet Shin
The harsh training for the three Digi-Destined has been tough but they have been managing to overcome the difficulty. But they've proven to be in the same league as the higher powers were.
In fact, Angewomon raised the Omega Blade over her head. Shintomon smiles and Kari is in shock at what she was seeing. Angewomon cries out and goes swinging the sword around. She swings it around as if it was a baseball bat, then pulls it back and slices downward. She then pulls it back up over her shoulder and swings it like a bat once again. She stumbles after that one, but managed to keep her balance still.
She plants his foot into the dirt, gets into a stance as if it she were swinging a baseball bat, and then pauses to catch her breath for a moment. She swings again. Suddenly, both Tai and Agumon appear in front of her. Angewomon stops at the last moment and drops the sword down. Kari and Shintomon look on with surprise, yet Shintomon was more than happy to see them.
"Tai! Agumon!" exclaimed Kari, "Over here!"
"Whew that was too close for comfort!" said Tai.
The young man looks right over at Kari and examines her attire, then he smiles as if he were about to burst with laughter.
"Hey, Kari! Why are dressed like that?" Tai asked.
Kari stumbles back and then looks over her attire. She slightly blushes in embarrassment.
"At least the clothes fit me."
"I wouldn't ever catch myself wearing that," Tai remarked.
Angewomon quickly de-evolves back into Gatomon. She rushes over to rejoin the two-sibiling reunion.
"Do us a favor and not to rub it in our faces!" Gatomon said, "Right, Kari?"
"Sure, I guess."
"So, what are you doing here? I thought you be taking care of D-Reaper right about now?" Gatomon asked.
"Well it's like this. Shintomon called me here and we were transported here to see you guys. I wanted to see your progress in the training. Plus we reached a new level of power called the third level of digital fusion. It was pretty powerful, but we used up too much energy."
"I know. Angewomon felt you're power. I was so amazed. It was nothing I felt before," said Kari, "But why did you leave the battle?"
"We figured that the D-Reaper wouldn't go out destroying everything without Dark Magimon, but we were wrong. So, we decided to come here to see how your training has progressed. We're impressed," Agumon said, "So how's TK and Davis doing?"
"They should be fine. They're in their fusion forms right about now. Buddamon is teaching them that new digital fusion technique," Gatomon replied, "You can go check it out if you want."
"In a minute," said Tai, "We came here how you're training has gone."
"Pretty well, if you think about it. Gatomon can evolve into Angewomon without the use of the digivice."
"Yes, since digivolution isn't really required here. This whole universe contains digital molecules that allows digimon to evolve straight into their mega forms without the use of a partner and a digivice," Shintomon explained.
"Now as far as D-Reaper is concerned. She pretty much destroyed almost half of the alternate digital world and there's no telling when she'll strike in our digital world," said Tai.
"Damn that, D-Reaper!" exclaimed Shintomon.
"So, can we see the sword?" asked Tai.
"The Omega Blade?"
"Yeah. Let us see it."
"Ok, Tai. But we're warning you. It's very heavy."
"I'm up for any kind of a challenge. Put a freaking anvil in front of me and I'll pick it up with one hand," remarked Tai.
As soon as he walked over and picked up the Omega Blade, his face turned red and his eyes were starting to widen. He tried everything within his strength to attempt to lift it up. But to no avail as Tai goes falling back.
"Wow, damn! That is heavy!"
Shintomon simply smiles, and then both he and Kari looked on with shock as Agumon began swinging the sword around. The orange dinosaur simply swings it around as if it were a baseball bat.
"Doesn't this sword give you some sort of incredible power or something?" Agumon asked.
"I don't believe it! He's swinging the Omega Blade around like it's nothing! What kind of digital race as these beings!"Shintomon thought.
Agumon swings it around a few times and steps back, struggling against the weight of it. Tai catches him and stances his digimon partner from falling back.
"By the way, Shintomon. Can Agumon and I stay here on Planet Shin before TK, Kari and Davis head out to fight the D-Reaper?"
"Uh, yeah. That's fine."
Agumon hands the sword back over to Gatomon, who holds it just as easily as Agumon did. Just then, both the stomachs of Tai and Agumon started to rumble.
"Excuse us!" exclaimed Agumon.
"Like he said. Shintomon, do you have anything to eat? We're starving!"
"Well then, do you want to take a break then, Gatomon?"
"All right!"
"Kari?"
"Sure. I was getting famished!"
Shintomon turns around and then speaks up.
"I'll show you the way. Follow me."
Shintomon goes walking towards nearby temples with a long hallway. The four followed over with Shintomon with each of their stomachs rumbling like there was no tomorrow.
"Tai, that third level was awesome!" said Kari.
"Yeah. After we get done eating, Agumon and I will show you in person."
"You think Gatomon and I will ever reach that level."
"Um, we'll see. Maybe after you endure this training. I hope Shintomon has a good selection of food!"
"Like brother, like sister. They both have bottomless pits," Shintomon thought.
One full day passes within the Digital Universe.
Buddamon was walking through his holy chambers and peered inside to see TK and Davis sleeping in soft beds with Veemon and Patamon by their sides.
He walks over towards the sleeping duo and he forms a soft expression. He goes over and use his telekinetic powers to push open a chamber window to allow a large, radiant light to shine upon the sleeping duo.
"Rise and shine! How long are you going to be asleep!"
TK and Davis were both rolling around in their beds while their digimon smacked their foreheads. The digimon yelped in pain and held their foreheads.
"After you four wash up and get something to eat, we'll start training again. Understood?"
"Yes!" the four said in unison.
Davis rubs his eyes and gets up out of his bed. TK does the same but fell back down on his bed. Davis shook his head.
"Lazy ass. You were trying to make me look bad?" Davis asked.
"Man, wake me up for another ten hours."
"Dude, I'm ready for this! I don't even feel sleepy anymore! I remember I used to sleep in every weekend."
"Well, yi-pee for you."
"Daisuke. Takeru. You four only have on full day to master the new fusion technique you're going to have to work as hard as you can."
"Right!"
Later after a few minutes of washing up and getting something to eat, Imperialdramon and War Angemon walked back outside on the training grounds where Buddamon stood waiting for them.
"Alright! Let's start training again."
Earth. Hypnos HQ
The Hypnos team was hard at work trying to get a connection into the digital world and have been quite successful with the help of some of their brightest engineers. However, that wasn't their only problem. They still needed to locate Demon's present location. It's been a day or two since Demon has been taking refuge in the real world.
Izzy was already working quite well with the Monster Makers. He and Mr. Wong were basically leading the team, so to speak. Thus far, they have been able to construct a weapon that would be quite useful, but they wouldn't want to reveal it so soon, since it wasn't nearly complete yet.
Izzy was typing away at his laptop, but then turned around to see Tentomon talking to the other Monster Makers.
"Yes. I am what you call a digimon. I still couldn't believe that you people were actually able to create one. Was the first one just like me? I mean, c'mon. Look at me, I'm quite a handsome bug if I do say so myself."
Izzy's eyes narrowed and a sweatdrop came down his face. After hearing all of this, he slaps himself in the forehead and was quite embarrassed to say the least.
"Tentomon. I brought you here for work, not to fool around. But you were always one of the most humorous digimon. Oh well, back to work I go."
"Izzy? How's Project G going?"
"The structure is complete, but it yet has to be clearly defined. It has to be perfect like you said."
"You're right."
Mr. Wong looked down on himself and then out the window as if something were bothering him. Not just bothering him but eating him from the inside.
"What's wrong, Mr. Wong? You're not looking like yourself lately."
"Well, Izzy. If your daughter and son were out there in another world that is considered dangerous to our world, you should have every right to worry just as I am. I'm completely devastated to lose Suzie and Henry. I'm such a bad parent."
"Mr. Wong. There's nothing you could have done. Like Yamaki said, maybe they were needed there for a reason, much like we are doing. We're needed to stop the digimon from entering our world. But we can't do that until my friends, along with your son and daughter is out of there. It's the only thing we can do, hope and pray for their safety."
"Thank you, Izzy. I'm so glad that you're on our team. If it weren't for your knowledge on digimon, then we wouldn't be where we are at. We may have created them, but you obviously know ever one of their strengths and weaknesses. Its just no wonder that a college student such as yourself would know more about the digital world than the entire government worldwide does."
"Plus I got access to the digital worlds with my simple laptop. I find it pretty amusing. The real problem is the issue with Demon. He's managed to bio-merge into the real world ever since the other guys left for that alternate Digital World."
"You mean another digimon has managed to crossover already?"
"Yes, Mr. Wong. However, it's a beast that rivals the Deva's power. My friends will keep an eye out for this creep. Let us concentrate more on this project."
"Yes, and that's for that best."
"Hey, yo! How about some less talking and more working!" Dolphin remarked jokingly. "We really need to finish up on this project and pranto."
"Keep your pants on, you old goat," Mr. Wong sarcastically replied. "We better get back to work, Izzy."
"I'm with you."
Unaware of what is taking place, the team was being watched by Demon's two henchmen. They were outside and listened to the entire conversation.
"What shall we tell Master Demon, Tambourinemon?"
"Nothing of importance for now. We have a mission to accomplish. Not only are we ordered to kill the Digi-Destined, but also take the life of Pikkan."
"Very well. Let's take the Digi-Destined first, since they are weaker."
"Yes and they've left themselves wide open. If Silphymon and Lillymon are any indications of whom we are up against, then this mission will be accomplished quicker than we hoped."
With that said, Cymbalmon and Tamourinemon flew off into the distance to resume their operation. Pikkan watched the duo from on top of another building. The alterian's arms were crossed and he kept a cold stare on Demon's henchmen.
Digital Universe. Buddamon's Domain
"FU… SION… EVOLVE TO!"
"One more time!"
"FU… SION… EVOLVE TO!"
The warriors managed to complete the fusion dance as Buddamon hovers over them.
"You're not doing it right. How many times are we going to go through this? Ok, lets see here. There are some flaws in this…"
Buddamon goes flying over towards them, but hovers instead of descending.
"I see. You need to get your timing in sync."
The warriors sigh and War Angemon speaks up.
"Don't you understand? This new fusion technique is meant to join people together," said War Angemon, "No matter how well you do it individually, you have to work together to get it right."
"I guess I'm just too slow," said Imperialdramon. "Damn. I'm holding us back!"
"Don't sweat it, Davis. You're trying your best just as I am. This is a new concept to use and we're still trying to get it right. Don't worry; we'll get it done. I can guarantee you that."
"Well, if you say so, dude."
"All right, less talk and more training! We need to do this in order to defeat the D-Reaper. Let us continue."
"Yes!"
The warriors once again get into the fusion dance and point their fingers towards each other, just as Buddamon had instructed them to.
"FU… SION… EVOLVE TO!"
"One more time."
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Somewhere in a nearby town, a large screen was featuring the local digimon news as a Meramon was hosting. He was now reporting the crisis concerning the D-Reaper's destruction.
"C-Can you believe it! Because of the D-Reaper, two thirds of the digital world's population and cities have been destroyed."
As soon as he spoke, the screen shows a display of the many devastated cities throughout the digital world. Hundreds of digimon watched in complete silence.
"If it continues at this pace, everything in the digital world will be destroyed within one day!"
Suddenly, the newsroom exploded and this catches Meramon by surprise and screams out in shock.
"What was that!"
Just then, D-Reaper's face appears on the screen as she makes funny faces causing the TV to explode. D-Reaper flies on through it and begins blowing up buildings.
"Next!"
As soon as she left the city, he goes flying over countryside with a smile across her face. Below she sees someone walking alongside a dirt road on the mountainside.
"I won't let anyone get away from me!"
She goes dropping down in front of the person, a blind Black Gatomon with the aid of a wooden stick. The feline digimon stops, and D-Reaper starts to giggle.
"Hi! Who are you?" asked the Black Gatomon.
"Huh! Can't you tell by looking at me? I'm…"
"I'm sorry. But I can't see. So, who are you? Are you famous?"
D-Reaper stoops down in front of him.
"You're stupid. If you open your eyes, you will be able to see your maker…"
"Even if I can open them, I can't see. I'm sick. I've been this way since I was a digiegg."
"I see. That's why you aren't surprised. Ok!"
She places her hand over the Black Gatomon's eyes. Her arm glows and bathes the area around him in pink light.
"Huh! Wh-What did you do!"
"Silly, kitty. Just open your eyes and see."
"But even if I open them…"
"Just open them already…"
"All right…"
As soon as he said that, he goes staring down at the ground. Then he moves his eyes slowly and straight up as he sees D-Reaper's legs in focus. He drops the stick.
"I can see! I can see! I can see! I can see!"
He then looks over at his paws and smashes them together with a smirk on his face.
"I can really see them!"
"Now look at me, silly kitty."
He goes looking right up into the face of D-Reaper as tears fell down his eyes.
"Thank you!"
"Huh!"
Black Gatomon goes running up towards D-Reaper and gives her a deep hug with tears flowing down his eyes.
"Thank you, cute little girl! Really, thank you! I can really see! I can see!"
Later, they went sitting by a nearby pond and threw rocks into the nearby lake. Black Gatomon looks right over towards D-Reaper.
"You're a cute girl. Are you new around this side of the digital world?"
"Cute girl? Me?"
Black Gatomon nods in approval with a smile on his face.
"Yeah. You look human. Therefore, I assume you're from another side of the digital world. Though you don't look like a real human, you look like just another digimon."
D-Reaper sits up and fixes her two ponytails. She looks down at Black Gatomon.
"Hey."
"Yeah?"
"You really think I'm cute?"
"Sure. I think so. After all, you used your magic to fix my eyes and you're the first person I've ever gazed at."
D-Reaper stood there crossing her arms and grins.
"I'm cute! I'm cute!"
"I know! I'll give you some digi-dollars!"
"Digi-dollars?"
"Uh huh. I was going to buy myself some milk. But all the stores are closed…"
He goes and pulls the money out from his glove and hands it over to D-Reaper.
"Here it is! Take it!"
D-Reaper looks over it and takes it. She sniffs it and goes to take a bite out of it. Black Gatomon quickly sat up to stop her.
"No. You don't eat that! You use it to buy food to eat."
"Buy food to eat?"
D-Reaper places it in her skirt pocket and looks back down at the Black Gatomon.
"Wait right here. I'll be right back."
With that said, D-Reaper goes speeding off into the skies above. Black Gatomon looks on with widened eyes on his face.
"Wow! I didn't know those kind of little girl digimon could fly!"
D-Reaper smiles and looks around. She then sees something and goes descending to the ground below. A Frigimon was walking out from a van and unloading several boxes of milk. Frigimon looks back behind him and sees D-Reaper. D-Reaper approaches him with a smile on her face. He drops the box with a frightened look on his face.
"D… Reaper…"
"Analyze completed: Frigimon. You shall be deleted."
She shoots out a pink beam of light at the feeling Frigimon, as he quickly explodes into data. D-Reaper reaches out and quickly absorbs his data as if she were getting stronger and stronger each time she uploads a digimon's energy.
D-Reaper looks behind and picks up several boxes of milk. She then goes flying off with the boxes over her shoulder.
Back over at the same location, Black Gatomon was sitting back while throwing rocks over at the pond while awaiting D-Reaper's return. He then turns to see D-Reaper descending down with the boxes of milk. His eyes shot up like money and his mouth was drooling.
"No way! You shouldn't have… It's like I'm already in heaven…"
D-Reaper places the boxes on the ground and smiles.
"By the way. I don't like digi-money. Milk tastes better."
She picks up a carton of milk and opens it up. D-Reaper hands it over to Black Gatomon.
"Take it."
He smiles and grabs it with a huge smile across his face.
"Thank you… Um… Do you happen to have a name?"
"D-Reaper, but you can just call me Dee for short."
"My names Black…"
"Black Gatomon. I know your name. Your data has been analyzed. Goodbye, silly kitty. Until we meet again."
With that said, D-Reaper turns around and goes flying up into the sky above. Black Gatomon sits up and goes calling out to her.
"Thank you, Dee! I'm sure we'll meet each other again! You take care! What a cute girl."
D-Reaper looks across the skies with a smile across her face and then looks back to everything about Black Gatomon.
"Such a nice kitty. If only these digimon weren't so mean and scared, then I wouldn't have to kill them. Maybe I should pay him a visit another time…"
She soon passes by a city nested in several mountains below. She manages to stop and see it. D-Reaper flashes an evil grin and begins forming a pink ki ball in between her hands. Suddenly, the city quickly explodes with her hands on her hips.
"He's right about one thing. I am cute."
Earth. Shinjuku
Mimi took a look at her digivice and was completely disappointed over the fact that Tambourinemon easily beat her partner. She would have lost Palmon if Pikkan hadn't intervened.
"Who was that guy? Izzy told me that he would get to the bottom of that. If it weren't for him, Palmon would have been a hot-fudge sundae for that creep demon! I can't believe Palmon will never reach any higher than Lillymon. If only she could digivolve again, then we might stand a fighting chance."
"Mimi? Is something wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing, Palmon. I was just thinking."
"About?"
"Well, I'm still kind of worried about the others. They haven't called or even contacted Izzy. It's strange. I know this journey has been a pain in the ass, but they shouldn't leave us out in the cold like this. Remember, we were taking part in these same old dangerous adventures!"
"Yeah, who would have guessed?"
"I just feel the need to get back into action and become a full-time Digi-Destined! It's been boring and the band tour won't come into full swing again for a while."
"But what about Dimitri? We can't leave him behind."
"Dimitri can come and take part in our adventure. I think it's time that his dear mother took him out and taught the necessary skills to survive the Digital World's greatest perils."
"You're getting a bit way over yourself, Mimi."
"What are you talking about?"
"Never mind."
"Palmon, you really need to cut loose."
"And you need a reality check."
As the two playfully argued through their debate, Tambourinemon and Cymbalmon looked on from above the skies. Little did Palmon and Mimi realize that the demon pair was ready to attack? Palmon looks up and her eyes widen.
"What's wrong, Palmon?"
"Mimi! Look out!"
With that said, the demons swooped down to attack Mimi. However, Palmon reacted quick enough to push Mimi to the side. Tambourinemon snatches up Palmon and began to apply a painful headlock.
"Don't move or the plant dies!"
"You let her go!"
"Or what?" a voice calls out.
Mimi turns around and faces none other than Cymbalmon. The girl screams and tries jumping away. Cymbalmon grabs Mimi and lifts her over his head.
"You humans are a fine delicacy. I wonder just how tasty you are in my stomach," Cymbalmon stated.
"Put me down you pervert! Wait until Matt gets back! He's going to tear a hole through you! Make those two holes! You put me down!"
"She's quiet the noisy one. Cymbalmon. Put an end to her misery. I can't stand all of that whining."
"With pleasure."
As soon as Cymbalmon opened his mouth, Mimi looked down and screamed like never before. Her cries were heard throughout the city. Pikkan managed to pick up her cries through his accute hearing.
"And so it begins…"
Outside of Digital Universe. Planet Shin
The Omega Blade goes spinning into the air as Angewomon reaches up and snatches it by its handle. She then began to swing it around with one hand. Tai and Agumon look on with large stomachs after eating nearly twenty plates of full-coursed meals.
Angewomon catches the sword by its handle while leaping into the sky to receive it. She began to swing it rapidly around in various directions. Then grabs it with both hands for a very powerful downward swing over her head. She then pauses for a moment, holding the sword out in front of her, then up over her head and then to her left hand side.
Tai and Agumon were looking on and sitting on a boulder nearby. Shintomon and Kari were side by side as the four watches Angewomon train gracefully.
The ultimate stops swinging to make several powerful thrusts into the air, stabbing it straight out and swinging it around. After a few more, she holds the sword over her head, grabbing the blade with her free hand and simply holding it. She then lands.
Tai and Agumon started clapping with approval.
"Wow! You've gotten really good with that!" Agumon said.
"You da 'mon!" exclaimed Tai, "You've gotten really good with that in just one day. Great work, Angewomon."
"You're really superb," remarked Shintomon.
"I bet that Omega Blade has a great edge. Try it out," Kari said.
"That's a good idea, Kari," replied Angewomon.
"Let's see here."
Tai began to look across the landscape and notices the boulder that he was sitting on. He sits right up and pats it a few times.
"Alright. Lets start with this boulder!"
Agumon lifts the boulder up over his head. Shintomon looks on with shock.
"Ok! Lets go, Angewomon! Lets see you cut this thing in half!" Agumon cried out.
"I'll probably cut right through it like a tomato. At least I can with this Omega Blade."
The angel ultimate holds it up like a baseball bat. Agumon tosses the boulder right over towards her. As soon as it reached her, Angewomon swings and slashes at the boulder. It splits in two and lands behind her. Kari is stunned while Tai and Shintomon laugh happily.
"You did, Angewomon!" exclaimed the Supreme guardian.
"Whew! That sword has a nice edge to it," Agumon commented.
"All right! I say we test out on something harder," Shintomon said, "Like this piece of metal. It's stronger than chrome digizoid armor. I call it, titanium alloy."
Tai goes over and knocks on it. He jumps back and cries out, noticing a huge welt on his hand.
"That's too damn hard!"
"We should at least test the sword out on this metal," Shintomon said.
"That's a good idea!" exclaimed Agumon.
Agumon snatches it and gets ready to throw it.
"Okay, Angewomon! Let it rip!"
"Agumon, this isn't Beyblade. You need some original material," Kari commented.
With that said, the reptile digimon pulls his arm back and Angewomon readies herself. Agumon throws the metal cube while Angewomon tightens her grip and swings with a scream. The blade hits and the tip drive into the surface of the cubed metal. Suddenly, the sword begins to bend. The tip slides up a little and down, creating a few sparks and the blade breaks. Everyone's eyes started to widen in shock at what they just saw.
"Well! I didn't even see that one coming!" Tai said jokingly.
The cube continues over Angewomon's head and hits the ground, causing a huge dent as a result. She looks down at the broken sword.
"I can't believe it! I broke the sword!"
"Whoa and here I thought Angewomon would never pull off the impossible!" Kari exclaimed. "I'm definitely not going to doubt her strength again."
"Wow, now it's the Omega Dagger," Tai replied.
"Well, the legend said that whoever broke the sword would be the strongest in the entire digital universe," Shintomon explained.
"Well. Heh. The legend must now be true then," said Angewomon.
"I guess I'm now living legend then," Kari remarked, "Wait, until I tell TK about this!"
Shintomon simply stares at the broken sword with a shocked expression on his face, but he says nothing more.
"I've gotten much stronger because of this accomplishment," said Angewomon, "That Omega Blade was impossibly heavy!"
The angel ultimate goes and punches in the air a few times, in order to pull off a simple demonstration.
"Maybe that's how it was supposed to make you the strongest in the whole digital universe."
"I-I see! If you you've gotten that stronger in your normal form, just think how much stronger you would get if you were to increase your power into your maximum form," Shintomon said, "That's right! That's the ultimate strength!"
"But she's still not stronger than D-Reaper!" said Tai.
"But Taichi, to think otherwise…"
Suddenly, a new voice called out and interrupted their conversation.
"You're wrong!"
They both turned around to see what looked like an Omnimon, but it had gold and black armor instead. Shintomon looked on as if his eyes were about to bulge wide open.
"What the hell! Who is that! He looks like Omnimon!" exclaimed Tai, "Just like our Omnimon!"
"Huh? What?" Angewomon asked.
"Ex-Excuse me but who are you?" asked Shintomon.
"Are you talking to me?" asked the Omnimon, "You'll be really surprised when you find out. You see, I am a Supreme Guardian and one of the higher powers from fifteen generations ago! My name is Gosenzomon."
"Huh! You're the Supreme guardian from fifteen generations ago?" Shintomon frantically asked.
Tai and Kari looked over at each other shrugging their shoulders. Agumon and Angewomon looked on with complete shock.
"You're my ancestor from fifteen generations ago?" asked Shintomon.
"Yes that's right. Though this isn't my original body. I was sealed in here after being wounded in a battle. Long, long time ago, there was an incredibly strong evil force. Although not as strong as the D-Reaper, he sealed me into this body and trapped me in this sword. He did it because he was so terrified of me. That must be why he did it. I'm glad to be finally out!"
Tai looks back over to Kari with smug looks on their faces.
"He doesn't look very strong," Angewomon said.
"I guess so," said Agumon, "Watch this. Pepper Breath!"
He shoots out a fiery blast and it goes flying right past through Tai, Kari and Shintomon. It goes in between and nails Omnimon in the face. He opens his eyes just in time before it hits. He cries out in pain and everyone looked on with disappointment at what they were seeing. Shintomon goes running to his aid.
"Gosenzomon! Are you all right? Hang in there!"
Gonsenzomon slowly opens his eyes, but suddenly jumps back on his feet.
"Dumbass! What the hell did you think you were doing that for! You damn idiot! How could you do something to a weakened higher power such as myself! Don't you have no respect for your elders!"
"He's just another dirty old man," said Tai.
"He's not very strong at all," Agumon remarked.
Gosenzomon wiped away the burnt marks on his face and goes on to explain his story a little further.
"He wasn't scared of my strength. He was afraid of my power."
"Is it a strong power?" Angewomon asked.
Tai and Kari looked over towards each other, then Tai steps forward.
"What is it?"
"I'm not going to tell you!"
Agumon walks over to Tai and whispers something in his ear and Tai's expression turns into that of a devious one. He looks right back over to Gosenzomon.
"Oh well. I'll give you a dirty porno magazine if you don't tell me."
Kari gasps at what he had just heard from her own brother's mouth.
"Tai! What are you thinking! I always knew you were a pervert, but you're going too far!"
"Taichi, what are you saying!" Shintomon asked.
"I don't need books like that when I have god-like eyes! I can just watch them when I'm alone and fixing my armor…"
"Ugh, Gosenzomon. How embarrassing and you're my ancestor?" Shintomon muttered after falling back.
"Okay! How about if I let you touch a real girl's boobs!" Tai exclaimed.
"REALLY!"
"It'd be perfect!"
Gosenzomon looks on with a smile on his face. Kari taps Tai right on his shoulder and Tai turns to face her.
"What are you trying to do, Tai? What's on your perverted mind?"
"Well I was thinking of bringing Sonja here. I was also thinking that he could touch her a little."
"Tai. Davis will kill you if he finds out that his wife was sexually harassed by this old geezer."
"C'mon! It was just a joke. You can take a joke right?"
"I don't know. I'm not so sure if this old guy is telling the truth. He doesn't seem all that special."
"Hey, do you mind if she's a little older, Gosenzomon?" asked Tai.
"As long as she looks good," said Gosenzomon.
"All right! We can use Mimi! You can tell Mimi about the deal," Tai said to Kari.
"You want me to ask Mimi! Have you lost your marbles, Tai! What did you drink when we had our meal!"
"Will you're power be enough for him to defeat D-Reaper?" Tai asked.
"It's not certain, but I think the one named Celesta X has a good chance."
"Just think about it, Kari! She can save the whole digital world - the whole digital universe- if you let him touch Mimi's boobs!"
"But that's prostitution, Tai! Think about it! You want me to ask, right? Even if he saves the universe, Mimi will kill me!"
Tai runs back over to Gosenzomon and slaps his hands with a grin on his face. He returns a slap and grins as well.
"It's settled then!" they both cried out.
"So what is this power?" asked Agumon.
Gesenzomon clears his throat and starts walking away. He stops and turns back to face the group.
"I can use my psychic ability to make a fighter surpass their natural limits. I bet you've never heard of a power like that before."
"Yeah that's a pretty common technique," said Tai.
Gosenzomon goes running up towards Tai and screams at his face.
"What are you talking about! This is past her limits! There's no one around like that!"
"Well, I guess you're right about that."
Gosenzomon looks back and faces Angewomon.
"So you were the one that pulled the sword out, weren't you?"
Angewomon points to herself questioningly and Gosenzomon nods over to her.
"Come with me."
"Right."
"If you were strong enough to pull the sword out and swing it around, I can turn you into the best warrior in the entire digital universe."
Gosenzomon then turns his attention over towards Shintomon in disappointment.
"I was really hoping for a Supreme guardian to release me by pulling out the sword. If it is the end of the digital worlds, I had to rely on a digimon such as you, Angewomon. Ok. Stand right here and try not to move."
Angewomon straightens out. Gosenzomon throws out his arms and yells out in front of him.
"Then let's go defeat the D-Reaper!"
The group watches on as Gosenzomon starts jumping around Imperialdramon and chants some magical verses.
"So how long is this going to take?" asked Tai.
"This should last for five hours and the power-up takes up twenty."
"What!"
"That's way too long!" exclaimed Kari.
"Well I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when this is all done," Agumon said as he went lying down.
"Same here. Wake us up when it's all over," replied Tai.
Kari looks on while watching the two falling deep asleep.
"Aw, man. This isn't my day," Kari said.
"And there's just no point in me falling asleep on this. I have to see this for myself," Shintomon said.
"Geez! I wonder how the others are handling the training,"Angewomon thought.
Other side of Planet Shin
"FUSION EVOLVE TO! FUSION EVOLVE TO!"
The two fusion warriors placed their fingers together.
"Alright! That was good. Almost perfect! Now we'll have to see if you can do it for real," Buddamon said, "Match your kis together."
Imperialdramon and War Angemon looked over at each other as they prepare to start the real fusion technique.
"Am I really able to fuse with TK? Only one way to find out," Imperialdramon said to himself.
"Alright start!"
"Right!"
Within the Digital World
The Tamers all looked on at the portal just head of them. It was the portal back home. They would now either have a choice. Stay to fight or go home.
"I know it sounds cowardly to withdraw from this fight, but we have families worried. We have to go see them and we'll come back to this battle. Don't worry, Tai. We'll be back before you know it," Takato said in thought.
"Takatomon. We're ready whenever you are?"
"Alright."
Earth. Shinjuku
Cymbalmon toyed around with Mimi as he was preparing to have the girl as his next meal. Tambourinemon retained his tight grip around Palmon's head. The plant digimon started to lose consciousness.
"Mimi… I can't breathe… You'll have to help me digivolve…"
"Palmon! I could if I wanted to, but I'm really tangled up at the moment!"
"Swallow her up and put an end to this misery already!" Tambourinemon exclaimed.
"Right!"
"No! You better not eat me! I've got a kid waiting for me! My husband is coming back and he's going to kick your asses!"
"Is that a fact? We'll be sure to tell him where you've gone. Too bad you won't ever get to kiss him ever again! Ha!"
Mimi was starting to lose her cool after what the demon had said. Her teeth clenched and her digivice started going off.
"Digivolve, Palmon!"
With that said, Palmon broke free of Tambourinemon's grip and prepares herself for her next evolution.
"Palmon shinka! Togemon!"
"She digivolved!" Tambourinemon exclaimed. "It's still not enough to beat me. You'll have to digivolve to the next level if you want to stand a better chance!"
"You're wish is my command, lips," Togemon remarked.
Mimi struggled and her chest started emitting a neon green light. Togemon was prepared to digivolve straight to the ultimate-level.
"Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
Lillymon came forth as she prepared herself for the fight of her digital life. Tambourinemon levitated down to face off with the ultimate. Mimi looked on helplessly, while trying to break free of Cymbalmon's grip.
"Go, get her Lillymon! Don't let lip boy smack you around!"
"Wow, that shows how much faith you have in me."
"Let's get started," the demon replied.
Lillymon made her first move and flew out towards Tambourinemon. The demon attempted to throw out a punch, until Lillymon quickly phased out. Tambourinemon was caught off guard and turned to see Lillymon delivering a sidekick to his face. The demon was surprised by the sudden speed increase.
"You go, girl!" Mimi cries out.
"It was I, Mimi. You gave me the strength. Now, my power has increased since the last encounter."
"So, you've managed to gain power from the help of a human?" Tambourinemon muttered.
"That's right. You obviously weren't here when the Tamers took care of those Devas."
"Enlighten me."
"You see. Everytime those Tamers faced a new enemy; they were put through extreme emotion after watching those Devas destroy the city. They used that emotion to gain strength and allowed their digimon to evolve. They developed the will to fight, much like we have."
"I say you're lying! Digimon are not supposed to gain power through the help of humans! They absorb the data of their adversary and use that to their advantage."
"That's partially true, but you've forgotten one minor detail. It takes the will to protect the lives of others. Whether you're fighting for good or evil, you're fighting for the ones you love."
"You tell him, Palmon!" Mimi cries out.
"I protect the life of Mimi and her son. I'll do whatever it takes to protect them from the likes of you!"
Suddenly, an outburst of green light erupts from Mimi's digivice and it starts to envelope Lillymon's body. Mimi was shocked by the turn of events. Lillymon had admitted her love for her partner and now it has given her new strength. Lillymon was gaining the power to digivolve into her mega form.
"What! Her ki is increasing by a foothold!" Tambourinemon exclaimed.
"It can't be!" Cymbalmon cries out.
"Oh, it can!" Mimi muttered. "Digivolve!"
"Lillymon mega shinka!"
Lillymon transforms into a figure with a much sleeker form. A red rose forms over her head and a thorn whip appears in her right hand. She feet gave way to high-heeled boots and her face matured.
"Rosemon!"
"Palmon digivolved to Mega? Wow! I finally did it!'
"Mimi. Gave upon my elegant appearance. I shall vanquish this demon."
(Rosemon. Mega-Level. Data Type. Special Techniques: Thorn Whip & Roses Rapier)
"She digivolved to mega! I can't believe this! Her ki reading is off the scale!" Tambourinemon exclaimed.
"Now prepared to be purified, demons!"
With that said, Rosemon lashes out her whip and quickly slashes it across Tambourinemon. The demon gazed upon his cheek and watched as a cut forms. Tambourinemon jumps back and gasps in disbelief.
"Uh! This can't be! You cut me! Now, I'm going to do you in, wench!"
"Tambourinemon! Seize you're attack!" a voice called out.
"Lord Demon?"
"Who was that!" Mimi exclaimed.
"So, this must be Demon," Rosemon replied. "Why don't you show yourself coward!"
"Because I have better plans for you precious. Tambourinemon. Cymbalmon. Return to me at once. That is an order."
"We'll, it's been fun while it lasted," Tambourinemon said. "But it's best we split. Cymbalmon!"
"Right!"
With that said, the demons disappeared. Mimi fell but was eventually caught by Rosemon.
"Thanks, Rosemon. Wow, you're so awesome."
"They'll be back. I'll keep my eye out for them."
"We have to let the others know about this."
"Yes."
Looking on top of a canopy, Pikkan gazes down on the duo. He wasn't surprised that a low-level digimon was able to digivolve straight to a mega. He's experienced many warriors before his time pull off such a miraculous maneuver.
"So the time has come. The true enemy is moving into the real world. Demon, what are you planning?"
Digital Universe. Planet Shin
"FUSION EVOLVE! FUSION EVOLVE!"
The warriors are standing a good distance away from each other and attempt to match each other's kis together. Buddamon watches with his arms crossed as the wind they generate blows lightly around him. Electricity was running through the floor around Imperialdramon and War Angemon's feet. War Angemon's start to flow from the self-produced wind.
"Daisuke. Take your ki down a bit."
"This is difficult. This should be right."
"Good! Your kis are about the same. Now, start the fusion!"
Imperialdramon looks right over to War Angemon, while nodding to each other. They then look straight ahead and hold their arms out to either side.
"FUSION…"
War Angemon holds out his arms with his fingers clenched into tight fists, while Imperialdramon holds his arms out with her fingers extended. Buddamon immediately notices, but the two continue on.
"EVOLVE TO!"
War Angemon starts glowing a golden light while Imperialdramon was glowing a metallic blue. The whole area quickly is bathed in a bright gold and blue light. Since they were isolated on the planet, none of the others were able to detect their kis.
The two figures of the two warriors are now nothing but forms of light as they crossed each other each and joined.
"Incredible!"
After one more bright flash of light, the ultimate fusion is finally completed. Buddamon gasps as he is somewhat thrown back. The area starts to return to normal. He looks forward and is in shock at what he was seeing. Standing before him stood a tall warrior with a pair of golden boots, white battle armor, a golden vest with blue outlining, golden battle gloves, a battle helmet that had crowned silts pointing straight up, and their hair was a fine mixture of blue and gold. The face was dragon-like with emerald green eyes.
Buddamon was floored and doesn't know what to think of what he was seeing.
"So this is the ultimate fusion that will be able to take down the D-Reaper?"
The fusion goes and does a few stretches and examines their body for a moment.
"It doesn't look that strong, but I guess it has to be, right?"
The fused warrior looks around and examines his body with a smirk forming across his face.
"Not a bad improvement, but could a little more on our body. Perfect armor. I also like the hair," the fusion replied with a mixture of both TK's and Davis' voices.
"Excellent work. You have perfected the fusion technique. Others would have probably quit by the time they reach halfway through the training. But you two have taken this pretty seriously. I like that. All right, now its time to defuse."
"What!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry and change back to normal!"
"Um, how do I do that?"
"What?"
Buddamon then just quickly remembered the flaws of the new fusion technique. He corrects himself by clearing his throat.
"Well then, I guess we wait for thirty minutes then. But I still find it strange. You're not Daisuke or Takeru."
The fusion looks around themselves and then looks over their body. They turn to face Buddamon with a smirk.
"Do you even have a name?"
"Yeah, we're Daikeru. But you can call us none other than War Dramon."
"Ha! I knew it! I knew you would choose War Dramon. But Daikeru? I'd never expect a real name like that. Oh well, people are critics these days."
Soon the thirty-minute limit was beginning to expire; Buddamon sits up from his meditation and goes walking over towards War Dramon.
"You're thirty minutes are almost up."
Suddenly, War Dramon was beginning to glow white and his body was starting to separate apart. This was enough to send Buddamon flying back and in another flash of light, the being was quickly split into War Angemon and Imperialdramon.
"Daisuke! Takeru!"
The two warriors were puzzled over the surprising results from the fusion.
"Did we do it?" asked Imperialdramon.
"I really don't know…"
"So how's it like to fuse? Did it feel cool?"
They turned to face Buddamon with confused looks on their faces. They had no idea over what he was talking about. It was obvious that the fusion also made them forget about what just happened.
"Don't you even remember anything?"
They both nodded, which brought relief to Buddamon. He thought that they would forget on how to perform the fusion dance.
"But you really can do it! Now there is a ray of hope. Now, we have to try it again. This time, you will use the form to attack the D-Reaper."
The warriors nodded as they stood several feet apart from each other. Buddamon stands a new feet away as they formed a triangle.
"Ok. Begin!"
The two quickly start the fusion dance.
"FUSION EVOLVE TO!"
Buddamon looks on as a ball of light started to form around them with streaks of gold and pink auras surrounding it. He is thrown back by its force but is able to continue to look on, nonetheless.
"That was perfect! You did it!"
War Dramon's fist goes swiping into the air. They slide their legs around the floor. The figure stood straight up and War Dramon gets into a fighting pose with a smirk on his face.
"Now we have a warrior that can defeat the D-Reaper!" exclaimed Buddamon.
Then another bright light exploded over Buddamon's domain and quickly fades away. Buddamon then looks ahead to see War Dramon holding out his fists into a cupped hand posture.
"I can't believe the storm of ki that I am sensing! They did it! They have succeeded! All right! You got it right this time! But in another thirty minutes, we're going to try it while ascending to your next levels!"
War Dramon laughs and waves his finger over towards Buddamon, who had a questioning look on his face.
"Don't you think that you're underestimating me?"
"What!"
"I'm perfectly able to defeat the D-Reaper just the way that I am."
War Dramon stretches backwards and does a backward handstand. Then he stood upright and went bending backwards while popping his back.
"What? You don't know what you're talking about! You don't know a single thing and you really don't know how strong D-Reaper really is. Now matter how strong you think you are, you still don't stand a chance against the D-Reaper!"
War Dramon quickly sits up and then faces Buddamon by pointing his finger at him.
"Fine, I'll show you! D-Reaper's dead body that is!"
"Huh!"
War Dramon slowly began to levitate into the air, and Buddmaon quickly runs over to stop them.
"Get back here, Taisuke… Er Daikeru!"
"There she is. She's not far. I'll have plenty of time to pound her around, get back here, and enjoy my glory. Buddamon form us a portal back into the digital world."
"Which one?"
"Well duh! The new one! The one that D-Reaper is currently taking a part!"
"All right. Here goes nothing. Portal open!"
With that said, a portal started to open it and it would lead them straight into the new digital world. War Dramon took advantage and flies off through the portal. They set off to locate the D-Reaper and give it a good pounding for the next thirty minutes. A confident grin forms across their face and their left fist outstretched into a fist.
"That fool! If they're killed now, that will be the end of everything! But they sure do have a lot of self-confidence. On second thought, this might be worth while to watch."
Buddmaon holds out his hand and an orb forms in his extended palm. He now plans on watching the progress of War Dramon.
"Please don't get yourselves killed. You're our last hope."
Other side of the Digital Universe. Planet Shin.
Tai and Agumon were sleeping peacefully underneath a tall tree as a butterfly landed on Agumon's nose. Agumon tweaks his nose and then sneezes to wake both him and Tai up. They woke up drowsily and looked up to see Shintomon and Kari looking over the. Tai goes and stretched with a yawn.
"Good morning, Taichi," said Shintomon.
"Shintomon?"
Tai sits up and then looks around with a smirk on his face.
"So, has he finished powering up Angewomon already?"
Shintomon points over towards an unhappy Angewomon as a ever-insane Gosenzomon goes dancing around her. The angel ultimate was blushing from out of embarrassment. She went from being a sword swinger to a garden gnome for an insane old digimon.
"Huh!"
"It's only been two freaking hours since he started," Kari replied, "Since that ceremony takes five hours, she's still got three more hours to contend with."
Tai smiles and then looks right over towards Angewomon.
"Hey, Angewomon! Just hang in there!"
"I wasn't really expecting that as an act of encouragement. I wasn't expecting this take very long. I wish I was already fully powered right about now! It really annoys me to have a guy dancing around me for no apparent reason."
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Takato and the Tamers were looking on towards the portal, where it would lead them back home. Each of the children was making a very hard decision. They would either stay to fight against the D-Reaper, or go back to the real world. But Takato obviously wanted to go back to let his parents know what is actually going on and would then return back into the battle.
"I know this is a hard decision to make, especially at a time like this. But I think we should be going back home. But we'll return back to the digital world to help the others," said Takato.
"Whatever you decide is the best choice, Takato," said Jeri.
"Yeah. We're with you, Takatomon."
Takato slowly starts making his way towards the vortex and places his hand right through it. A sigh of relief comes across his face and he turns to face the others.
"It's cool. We can go through."
"But I wonder how long it will stay open. Tai told us that it would stay open for another hour. However, there's always the gateway portal through Guilmon's house. We can just wait for a couple of hours until then," Henry said.
"Good idea, Henry. But for your sake, lets hope that it really does open again," replied Rika.
"I'm not wasting any time."
As soon as he said that, Takato goes passing through the portal with Guilmon following behind him. Rika and Renamon followed next, and next were Kazu and Guardromon. Then Ryo and Cyberdramon.
"Um, you're Ken right?" Ryo asked.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Um, there's something I've been meaning to ask you."
"Well, can it wait until we get you guys home?"
"Sure."
"Um, you first?" Kenta asked to Sonja.
"Uh, I guess. Just can't leave Davis, here. But this is for the best."
Sonja went entering through the vortex next, followed by Jeri and Leomon. Ken turns around to face Kenta.
"C'mon, Kenta! We have to go…"
But just as he was about to finish to what he was going to say, something came popping out from Kenta's shirt pocket. It looked like a D-Ark, and in fact, it was a D-Ark. Kenta was even more shocked when he saw Marine Angemon coming out of his pocket. A smile forms across Kenta's face.
"No way! I'm a partner to a mega! I'm partner to a mega!"
Ken and Wormmon looked over at each other with widened eyes as if they were about to say something, but decided to move on through the portal. Kenta and his newly found partner, Marine Angemon, was next to entering through the portal. Following them next was Henry and Terriermon, along with them Suzie and Lopmon.
But little did they realize, something red was crawling over from behind them. It was also glowing a dark, purplish misty color while humming. It was a fraction of the chaos mass. The chaos also managed to enter the portal before it closed up.
As everyone entered through the portal, they quickly found themselves back to where they started.
"We're back home. I can't believe it," Takato said ash he looked around to find out that they were back within Guilmon's bunker home.
"So, looks like we're going to have to go back home and let our families know of what is going on?" asked Henry.
"You're right. Our families have every right to know. But I'm afraid that my parents will flip out if I were to tell them that we are to go back to the digital world," replied Takato.
"Don't worry. Your not the only one," Rika said, "My mom will cry herself to death if I told her everything."
"But in a way, she has every right to be. The thought of her losing you would devastate her," said Renamon.
"Well, lets stop this chattering and head on back to our homes. Its getting pretty late out here," Henry said.
"Hey guys! Look! I'm a partner to a mega," Kenta exclaimed while holding onto his newly achieved D-Ark and Marine Angemon sitting on his shoulder.
Everyone looked on with shocked looks on their faces. Rika almost wanted to burst out laughing, but then realized that Kenta's partner was a mega, despite its tiny stature.
"Hey where's Cyberdramon!" Ryo called out, "I can't find him anywhere!"
"I'm down here, Ryo," a voice called out.
Ryo looked down to see a small, gray dragon-like creature with a tiny honr on his snout.
"Who are you!"
"Ryo! Don't you remember me? I was Cyberdramon. This is just my rookie-form. I'm Monodramon."
"Maybe it's just me but I could have sworn to seen a boy like Ryo before," Ken thought. "Or are my eyes deceiving me?"
Lopmon goes walking outside and gasps when she saw a large city right before his very own eyes.
"Is this the human realm?" Lopmon asked.
"This is home. Finally we're home! Now we get to see daddy!" Suzie cries out with excitement.
"Ken, since we're the only elders around here. I think its best we get these children home as soon as possible," Sonja said, "I'll take Takato, Rika, Henry and Suzie."
"Ok. I'll take Kazu, Kenta and Ryo…"
"You don't got to worry about me. I'll just walk myself home," Ryo replied, "I'll see ya'll later."
As soon as he said that, Ryo goes walking off with Monodramon at his side. Sonja and Rika looked on by making disgusted looks on their faces.
"Ugh, just as conceited as ever. Are sure he can find his way home?" Sonja pondered.
"Wouldn't surprise me. Then again, he's always been the arrogant type," said Rika.
"You want to see where Ryo is heading?" Wormmon asked.
"First, let's see to it that Kazu and Kenta get home, then we'll investigate a little more on Ryo. I need to know if this was the same boy who accompanied me through my first adventure in the Digital World years ago."
"Funny. I'm getting that same feeling too," Wormmon replied.
"This an issue that's been consuming me since. I have to know, Wormmon."
Ken and Wormmon accompanied Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta and Marineangemon towards their respective homes. After that, Ken planned on starting his investigation on the mysterious boy named Ryo.
"C'mon, guys. We better go. There's no point in jus stand here all night," Takato said, "Guilmon. I'll see you in the morning. Night, buddy."
"Night, Takatomon. I'll keep an eye on the portal door. Don't you worry!"
"Thanks. All right, guys. Let's get going."
As soon as they went walking out from the park and back to their homes, Guilmon walks back inside of his bunker home. Little did they realize, that the piece of the chaos mass was sitting in a nearby bush and it slowly starts crawling out. The chaos of the D-Reaper has followed them into the real world. Now, not only did the others have to face the D-Reaper being itself, but the Tamers must also prepare for the unexpected.
Back within the Digital World
Just within the background, there were small explosions popping up all over a nearby city before one large final one. D-Reaper flies out from the largest one giggling to herself. She sits in the sky while looking down at the devastated city with a nod of approval. She looks down below and sees a pair of Whamon trying to get away.
"You can't get away from me!"
She quickly drops down and runs down across the water in between the two Whamon. She stops right after she gets ahead of both Whamon, turns around and starts running again. She then plows right through one of Whamons and watches it explode into data. D-Reaper quickly absorbs its data and then looks on towards the other one.
But just as she was about to make her move, there was a sudden quick light and a strange noise, and a hole appears right in the center of D-Reaper's stomach. She looks down at it and through the hole she sees nothing. D-Reaper starts to get angry.
Then she turns to see War Dramon on top of the other Whamon, with their arms crossed.
"Hm. You're pretty tough. That was just my way of saying hello. I didn't think it'd hurt you too much."
D-Reaper slowly rises to the level as War Dramon was, but she doesn't move any closer to the now sinking Whamon.
"Who are you!"
"Hmph. You're going to die here, so why would I waste my time telling you?
"Die!"
War Dramon laughed at D-Reaper and quickly gets into a fighting pose.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to waste my time here talking to you, runt. I'm just here to clean you up!"
"You…"
"Here I go!"
Kid Rock "Cocky" plays
War Dramon leaps forward and a dent appears in D-Reaper's stomach without War Dramon's own fist even making any kind of contact with the D-Reaper. War Dramon began throwing more punches, but none of them seem to really make contact, but they simply leave dents all over D-Reaper. War Dramon throws a flurry of punches, making a trail up from the bottom of his stomach to the top before War Dramon phases out and reappears right above to the left of D-Reaper's head. They knee D-Reaper hard in the face and D-Reaper goes flying back into a nearby ship.
War Dramon throws a ki blast right after her and the ship explodes, but D-Reaper flies straight up from the explosion with an orange ball surrounding her. War Dramon appears right next to him and flies up alongside of him, reaching into the ball. They grab D-Reaper by her ponytails and began spinning her around. After several rotations, the orange ball around D-Reaper fades away and War Dramon throws him. War Dramon wastes no time as they throw a ki blast in their still-outstretched arms and throw it at D-Reaper, who lies embedded in the ground nearby.
There was a sudden flash of light and a large explosion within the next few moments. War Dramon looks on with a grin across their face.
"Heh. She wasn't so powerful. D-Reaper was a waste of my time. Oh well, nothing I can do now."
The bottom half of D-Reaper goes flying up towards War Dramon. The upper half was completely gone and this caused War Dramon to look on with a shocked look on their face.
"What!"
War Dramon watches in shock as a large, red sphere rises up from the point at about D-Reaper's waist where everything had been cut off. From the sphere emerge two arms, the upper portion of the school skirt and D-Reaper's head. D-Reaper throws out her limbs and screams angrily.
"What the! She's still alive! But how!"
"You called me a runt, didn't you! Now you've pissed me off!"
As soon as she said that, there was steam pouring out from her ears.
"So, what the hell are you going to do about it, bitch?"
"Kill you."
D-Reaper glares at War Dramon and quickly phases out and reappears in front of War Dramon. War Dramon barely is able to dodge each punch being thrown at him. They then quickly yell out.
"You're too slow!"
D-Reaper throws yet another punch, but this time around, it goes and connects with War Dramon's face. War Dramon screams out and goes plummeting down into the ground.
"Im-Impossible! I thought I'd killed her! Was she just doing that to read my movements!" pondered War Dramon.
D-Reaper quickly phases out from her spot in the sky, reappears right above War Dramon and hits them again. From there, she began beating upon War Dramon as they both fall towards the ocean nearby. They plunge below the water, sending out large waves as D-Reaper continues to pummel away War Dramon.
Finally, D-Reaper picks War Dramon up, who was bruised and battered, and hits them one last time with a head butt. War Dramon screams as he went flying back and lands into a nearby concrete wall just near the dock of the oceans. D-Reaper forms a ki blast in between her hands.
"You die."
Suddenly, there is a loud booming noise and the water throws D-Reaper out of course. She turns around to see a ship full of Tankmon and Mekanorimon. A Kokatrimon stood with a megaphone in his hand as he goes calling out to D-Reaper.
"D-Reaper, as long as this defense survives, we won't let you destroy another city! Open fire!"
"No! Don't! You can't beat her! Go and run!" War Dramon calls out.
But the digimon military remained at their spots. They were unleashing a barrage on D-Reaper that basically creates a continuous fireball around her. With a yellow ki shield surrounding her, D-Reaper slowly rises out of the explosion, with her arms crossed in a sitting position.
"No! Impossible! It's still alive!" exclaimed a Tankmon.
D-Reaper glares over at the entire digimon army.
"All of you…"
"No! Stop!"
"…shall die!"
As soon as she said that, a large explosion erupts around her and began expanding out across the entire area. The military stood defenseless against the barrier and watched as their ships were demolished and the army was quickly deleted as a result. War Dramon screams as the explosion reaches him.
When it was all said and done, an enormous crater sits besides the city. D-Reaper throws her fists into the air and celebrates in victory.
"Yeah! Now I'm going to kill some more!"
Other side of Digital Universe. Planet Shin
Buddamon stood by with a calm look on his face and his arms were crossed. He turned to see the vortex opening up and War Dramon returning back. War Dramon was bloody and beaten.
"Welcome back, Daikeru."
War Dramon turns his back on him and began to laugh weakly. Buddmaon takes notice of this and has a rather disappointed look on his face.
"He wiped the floor with me…"
"I warned you! Now then, you're fight with D-Reaper isn't until tomorrow. You're going to keep training until then."
Buddamon walks right over towards War Dramon and points at him.
"It will be more affective to get you as strong as possible before you fuse. Got it, Daikeru?"
War Dramon hangs his head down and sighs in disbelief.
Earth. West Shinjuku
Jeri had arrived home, but was wondering why her father was there. She snuck Leomon in and placed a ever so tired Calumon on her bed.
"Leomon? You think the others will defeat the D-Reaper?"
"I don't know. This is perhaps one of the most hardest battles that we have ever had to contend with."
"Poor Calumon. He's still exhausted from releasing that light."
"But I doubt the Sovereign's army will be able to defeat the chaos mass."
"You think that Omega X will stop the chaos?"
"I don't know. I haven't been involved in battle yet. Tai better watch himself and not under estimate this new foe."
"Enough of worrying. For some reason, my father isn't home. He's probably out looking for me since I haven't been home. Let's just take it easy until then."
Elsewhere, Takato and Guilmon were standing by at a local train station. After being dropped off by Sonja, Takato decided to take this chance to get some sleep before getting onto his train. Just then, Guilmon woke up Takato by shaking his shoulders.
"Takatomon! You have to take a look at this! Its on the TV!"
"What is it, Guilmon?"
Takato rubs his eyes and then looks out on the television. What he was seeing was a very frightening scene. His eyes widen and mouth gaped open.
"Crap! It followed us!"
The chaos was shown on the television, as it was as large as the central part of West Shinjuku itself. Takato and Guilmon stared at the television with anticipation.
"The chaos followed us home! I can't beleive this! Not only do we have to deal with the D-Reaper in the digital world but also in our own world too!"
Elsewhere, Demon was watching the turn of events from inside his dark chamber. Tambourinemon and Cymbalmon kneeled before their lord. The demon lord stood before his altar and forms an orb on his palm.
"How convenient. Just as I expected, the D-Reaper chaos mass has moved into the real world."
"Shouldn't we relocate ourselves to a new refuge, my lord?" Cymbalmon asked.
"No. We are fine as long as I maintain this barrier around this chamber. I could use this D-Reaper mass to my advantage. I want you two to scope the area where the mass has spread."
"Yes, sire!"
"It's only a matter of time before I clench this world into my hands. Any normal digimon would fear this chaos mass, but I embrace it. Magimon was fortunate to have allowed me to carry on where he left off. However, the difference between him and I is that I will not fail. Rest easy, my children. You only have a short period of time to enjoy yourselves. I promise you that chaos has arrived."
Is this a sign of what the apocalypse coming forth for the digital and real worlds? What is Demon planning and why does he embrace the chaos as a friend? Will War Dramon get enough training to stop the D-Reaper being? But can the Tamers prepare themselves for the chaos that has somehow leaked into their own world?

****************************************************************************************
[Digimon Tamers Opening theme "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
The New Weapon to Save the Worlds, Mummymon?! Demon's Revelation: The True D-Reaper has Awakened!
Digital World.
The D-Reaper has taken out nearly 80 percent of the entire Digital World. Many cities have been destroyed and digimon have been deleted as a result of the D-Reaper's relentless attacks. The many digimon resistant armies have given up as a result and the D-Reaper's path of destruction continues. However, its not only the D-Reaper being itself that is taking upon itself by destroying the digital world.
The other entity of the D-Reaper, known as the chaos, has been spreading quickly. Even the Sovereign's armies have been defeated despite their attempts. The four Sovereigns find a way to seal themselves and hide from the grasp of the D-Reaper.
Now it is up to the digital fusion warriors to defeat this new foe. But not only are the digital worlds in danger, but also that of the real world. The chaos has managed to leak into the human realm and is now spreading like wildfire. While the others are training to stop the D-Reaper being in the digital world, the Tamers have to stand up and find a way to stop the chaos that spreads their precious world. Can they win and bring an end to the terror known as the D-Reaper. Only time will tell and the fates of three worlds are at stake…
However, there is also still hope for the remaining digimon population within the new digital world, because out from the other digital world, Mummymon has now stepped up to the plate and has taken stand against the evil D-Reaper. Can the fate of the two worlds rest on the shoulders of this bandaged hero. He stood up against Virus, but can he face the D-Reaper himself?! Again, only time will tell.
Mummymon looks out to his cheering fans and one of the four guardians help him by opening up a portal vortex that would lead him into the other digital world. Mummymon turns to face his fellow digimon and gives them a peace sign.
As soon as he did that, Mummymon takes off into the vortex and it quickly closes, leaving the digimon to wonder if they would ever see Mummymon again.
Mummymon quickly finds himself within the desert landscape of the other digital world. He covers his face as dust goes blowing right by and almost sends him flying back.
"I can't turn back now! I've got digimon that are relying on me in the other world. I can't allow the D-Reaper to finish off every digital life form here and then move on into our world. This is my chance to redeem myself.
With that said, he goes and pulls out his radar scanner and gets a huge reading of a large ki from the northern side. He goes and heads out towards the northern section of the digital world, where he could possibly find the D-Reaper.
****************************************************************************************
Outside the Digital Universe. Buddamon's Domain
Davis and TK were looking out towards the skies with awed look on their faces. They turned to see their digimon taking a tour around the landscape and admiring its beauty.
"Davis…"
"Yeah?"
"I really miss my brother. It's been almost two days since he passed on after giving up us life to save ours. Do you really think he did it not just to protect me, but everyone else?"
"Of course. Your brother really cares for you, dude. I know if my brother could do that, I would have been heartbroken. Besides, there was nothing you could have done."
"Nothing I could have done?"
"You were no match against the D-Reaper around that time. But now that we're receiving this training from Buddamon, I have no doubt that we will able to reach our maximum power while being in our War Dramon form. I must say that form was really strong. But it still wasn't enough to defeat the D-Reaper."
"As long as he both have our minds and hearts together, we can use that to our advantage and bring the best out of us. Who would have ever thought that fusion warriors could merge together?"
"Beats me. You got me there."
"You think Takato and the others will be fine? From what Buddamon said, they just arrived home."
"Even if the chaos mass arrived in their world, they should be able to resist it. After all, from what I heard, three of the Tamers are able to merge with their digimon. It's kind of like digital fusion if you think about. Takato and Guilmon can merge to become Gallantmon."
"Just as Henry can merge with Terriermon to become Mega Gargomon."
"And the same with Rika merging with Renamon to become Sakuyamon. With those combined powers, they have enough to fight off against the chaos mass. But in case they are in trouble, they always have Dinobeemon and Sonja to aid them."
"And if we manage to beat this D-Reaper being, we can head on back home and lend them a hand. But one thing we have to remember."
"What?"
"Not to underestimate our enemy."
"That's a good point, especially a corrupted deletion program gone wrong."
Just as they were talking to one another, Buddamon comes walking towards them and puts his hands on both TK and Davis.
"And it's up to us to stop the D-Reaper," said TK, "And to avenge my brother's passing."
"Let's kick some ass."
Just after that say that, they felt energy entering through their bodies and looked up to see Buddamon's hands glowing. They were quickly healed as Buddamon speaks up.
"We must continue the training. There is no time to waste."
"Right!"
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku.
Just within the Nonaka residence, the family was watching the news on television while hearing about the reports of a red, blob mass infesting the city of Shinjuku.
"Ever since last night, this mysterious red, blob mass has appeared and the source of where it came from is still under investigation. All street ways and access within the city have been shut off as a result of this. We will have more on this situation when we come back."
"This is terrible. One day, it's all peace and quiet, but now all of this. How could it have followed us here?" Rika said.
"I don't know, Rika. But there's something obviously wrong. There's no way it could have been here when we had left, because the seal to the D-Reaper wasn't opened until we faced both Dark Magimon and King Devimon in the spaceship."
Mrs. Nonaka hung up the phone while having a sad look on her face.
"Nothing. I can't even make any calls. The phones are pretty much dead."
"Your not making calls for that photo shot today are you, dear? You must relax."
"I guess you're right."
But then, Mrs. Nonaka looks over to Rika and Renamon as a smile forms across her face.
"All that matters is that we are together like a family again."
"Wow, mom has really changed for the better. I'm surprised that she wasn't scared when I introduced her to Renamon today. I have a weird feeling being with my family, but I rather have that than let the D-Reaper take it all away. Goggle head, I wonder how you're holding up over at the train station."
***************************************************************************************
Odaiba.
Cody was watching the same news footage that involved the D-Reaper mass in Shinjuku. He could not believe his eyes on what was transpiring. It was almost like watching the Ghostbusters movie, only this time the threat was real.
"Cody, tell me why this reminds me so much of the Ghostbusters movie?"
"That's because is isn't. I don't see no Statepuff Marshmallow Man. This is serious, Armadillomon! Our friends are in the middle of this. Plus, I don't have enough money to hitch a bus to Shinjuku."
"You always have me as transportation."
"But to risk you getting exposed to the public? After what those Devas did, I can't let you do that."
"So, are you just going to let your friends down, Cody? They might need us after all."
Cody thought through this for a moment. It was a hard choice. Should he risk using Ankylomon to transport him to Shinjuku and risk being caught by the public's eye? They would get pretty suspicious for a large monster walking over towards a D-Reaper infested city.
"I'm against it, but I can't argue with you. All right, let's go, but we have to keep on the low profile. Got it?"
"Got it. Let's make sure to pack up some food. I'll get pretty hungry on that long trip."
"All right then, deal."
"Now with that settled, Shinjuku here we come!"
*************************************************************************************
Shinjuku
Back at Shinjuku there was a small martial arts training shrine where Henry's family viewed the television. They were concerned and had to hear any updates on the red chaos mass that has mysteriously appeared within the city of Shinjuku. The shrine that they were residing at the moment belonged to Henry's sensei.
Outside the shrine, there were several black vans all lined up together. Inside were the Hypnos crew and the Monster Maker team. Since the twin towers of the Hypnos buildings were engulfed by the red mass of the D-Reaper, they figured that this would be a chance to further investigate the situation.
Yamaki and the crew were setting up equipment in order to monitor the progress of the D-Reaper. Mr. Wong and Izzy were outside and looking out towards the city. Mr. Wong was now calling his son by phone, letting him know that the situation was dangerous and that he needed to stay at sensei's.
"…Right. I understand. So, I better let you guys handle this situation. All right. Bye."
Henry hung up the phone and was upset that he wasn't able to do anything to stop the chaos mass.
"If only I can bio-merge with Terriermon, then we can do something other than just sitting here. If only the others could have gone with us."
Standing on top of a cathedral roof, Tambourinemon looked on like a bat stalking its prey. A grin forms across his face. He flies off into the distance to report to Demon.
***************************************************************************************
Outside of Shinjuku, there was a train that was making its way. Inside of the train was none other than Takato and Guilmon.
"I can't believe it. The chaos followed us home and we were unable to detect its presence. Guilmon, what are we going to do?"
The goggle-wearing boy looked over and saw his digimon partner falling asleep on his side. Takato smirked and then looked out the window while thinking about everything that the sovereigns had said about the D-Reaper and everything Shibumi was explaining.
"I might be data, but Guilmon is my best friend. We worked together against Beelzebumon and Zhuqiaomon back in the digital world. There's nothing that's going to stop us in order to defeat the D-Reaper. Hopefully Tai and the others are handling the training well. Now we have the D-Reaper trying to destroy two worlds at once. But I have a feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg. We still haven't seen the limits of the D-Reaper's power."
Little did the duo realize that a large figure dressed in a cloak was watching them. The cloaked figure revealed himself to be Cymbalmon.
****************************************************************************************
Back within the city, but outside of the central section where the chaos mass was growing, Sonja and Ken had just met up with Mimi and Yolei. Sonja had explained everything to Mimi about the sacrifice that Matt made against the D-Reaper.
After overhearing that Sonja had told her, Mimi sat there with a rather saddened look and held a tight grip on her skirt.
"I'm really sorry, Mimi. But what he did was heroic. He did something for that first time that didn't concern just for himself. He did it to save you and Dimitri. Don't forget that he loves you," Sonja assured her.
"I… can't believe he's gone," Mimi managed to choke out. "He's gone…"
"That's why once the others get out of training, we're going to send the D-Reaper packing to the primordial ooze to which it came from," ken said, "You can rest assure that."
"Ken? So the others are still in the digital world?" Yolei asked.
"Yes. The Tamers returned back with us. However, we had no idea that the chaos of the D-Reaper had followed us here. The essence of that single being is now spreading like wildfire. I have a bad feeling that the army the Sovereign's created was defeated. I really don't think we stand a chance unless I do something… I'm the only true fusion warrior…"
"Ken! No! You know that you're not strong enough," Sonja said, "Your just throwing your own life away if you attempt to stop the chaos mass. Remember, if you happen to touch it, it will delete you."
"She's right. Just stay here until we can come up with a plan of action," said Yolei, "In fact, after what you told us, those three Tamers were able to merge with their digimon. I think we should be able to rely on them."
"Gallantmon. Sakuyamon. Mega Gargomon. Let me tell you from what I've read from their kis," said Wormmon, "They have the potential to become just as strong as Omega X and Metalla X have already become."
"Which is pretty powerful," replied Hawkmon. "We could use more super soldiers."
"None of us are that powerful," Palmon said, "Those Tamers have really powerful digimon, even as rookies. We all should step aside and let them handle this."
"No. You were able to digivolve into mega, Palmon! We will need Rosemon for this," Yolei stated. "Although, you're digivolution was pretty unexpected."
"It was all because of Mimi. Thank you. Anyway, not only do we have to keep an eye on this jello mass, but we have to look out for those demons. It seems Demon is on our case lately."
"I agree, Palmon. We fought that minion two days and we were sweeped aside as if we were pesky insects," Hawkmon stated.
"Then I was able to digivolve into Rosemon and I inflicted some damage on that creep. Hey, what about that Pikkan guy!"
"Should we even trust him?" Yolei pondered. "After all, he did rescue you guys from getting deleted by those creeps. I still say he's an untrustworthy fellow."
"Whatever you want to believe," Ken replied. "I have yet to see this Pikkan and these demons. As far as the Tamers are concerned, we're always there to lend them a hand. Remember, our own digital world is in danger of being deleted."
"Oh Matt. I can't believe you're gone. You've really done something to save us. But how can I live on without you? Am I to tell our own child about this? It looks like time has repeated itself. Dimitri from the future was unable to grow up with his father, and now our Dimitri will be unable to grow up with his father. Matt, don't forget, that I love you. I will always remember you as a heroic warrior of friendship… may friendship continue to burn through your heart… where ever you are."
****************************************************************************************
Abandoned Warehouse. East Shinjuku
The demons found their way back to their hideout to report to Demon. The demon lord sat on his throne while observing the entire city through his orb.
"What have you found out?" Demon asked.
"We've learned that some of those children had left the alternate digital world and it looks like we have a heavy load to deal with," Cymbalmon replied. "I spotted a boy with a Guilmon."
"A boy with a Guilmon? Hmmm, this must be the one with the digimon who nearly destroyed the digital world with his sheer power alone."
"Come again?"
"When I visited the alternate world, I felt a sheer power increase coming from one digimon alone. I learned that this Guilmon had dark digivolved into Megidramon. As Megidramon, he would have destroyed the digital world if he was unable to contain his beastly power."
"So, we're basically dealing with a ticking time bomb?" Tambourinemon asked.
"In a way, we are. Which is why I will take the liberty to confront these two. The rest are left to you."
"Yes, sire."
Demon examined his orb and watched the D-Reaper mass growing by the mass. He waved a hand over it and got a view of the Hypnos team investigating the blob mass.
"Those fools have no idea what they're dealing with. This is only the tip of the iceberg."
"What do you have in plan, my lord?" Cymbalmon asked.
"I've recruited two bounty hunters to find the other D-Reaper entity in the digital world and to find a way to release her dark power. It seems that her current form has suppressed all the evil within it's core. Once they find a way to crack that core, then the evil will be released and I will use my power to corrupt the mass."
"But why do you need bounty hunters to crack her core? You're already ready to corrupt the D-Reaper mass itself."
"It's simple, Tambourinemon. In order for this to work with perfection, I will need to have the other D-Reaper corrupted with evil at about the same moment I need to corrupt the mass itself. If I were to fail to do so, the plan will not come into effect. The two entities must be corrupted with evil."
"I see. Yes, it makes sense, my lord," Tambourinemon replied.
"I'm glad you finally see it my way. Now, we must wait and see when those fools will actually find the other entity. Everything must go according to plan."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the little virus rookie was lurking through the alleys of the city. Impmon looks through and notices that the ever-so busy streets were quiet. He really had no idea of what was going on.
"Well. I'm back… home. It's the human hellhole. So did I just come back here to get abused by humans all over again? My life sucks. Lets just say that now."
Impmon turns around and notices a so familiar house. He goes walking over towards it and climbs up over the fence. He took around and noticed that the family dog wasn't around at the moment.
"Nobody is home? I wonder where they went? Probably to the candy store."
Impmon grabs the doorknob to the backdoor and was surprised to realize that it was open. He goes walking inside and walked towards the living room. He flops himself onto the couch and uses the remote to flip through channels on his television.
"Ech. No wrestling on? No Gundam? No Dragonball? No Cowboy Bebop? No South Park? Nothing on. Informericals suck! Boring. I better get out of here, before they come back."
Just as Impmon was about to head out, he noticed a note sitting on the top of a counter within a children's room. He walked inside and could easily remember this exact room. This is where he and his 'Tamers' used to play.
"Ai… Makoto… There's a note."
Impmon reaches over and picks the note up. He opens it and goes to read what it read. As soon as he got done reading, he folded it up and held it tightly in the palm of his hands.
Impmon,
We've stepped out for a minute. There's plenty of food in the fridge, but we'll be back to play. Take care now. ^_^
Ai & Mako
"I better go check this out!"
The little rookie goes running out through the backdoor as he goes heading out into the town, in search for his two Tamers. Would he have to reunite with them? That was a decision that Impmon had to make and it looks like he made that decision already.
"Unbelievable. They're still here. I better go see what they're up to. Hang on guys! I'm coming!"
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the East district, Ryo was found walking down a lonely street. Roads were blocked out due to the armed forces preventing from anyone from entering the center of the city. After all, the D-Reaper mass was in the middle of Shinjuku.
"Man, this is just like the Ghostbusters movie!" Ryo stated. "This chaos is just going to continue growing. There's nothing the military can do to stop it."
"What do we do, Ryo?" Monodramon asked.
"I'm not sure, Monodramon. We're in the middle of a crisis. We can't even bi-merge like Takato, Henry and Rika."
"Don't worry. We'll find a way. You can bet on it!"
"Hope you're right, bud."
"Ryo! Ryo!"
"Huh?"
Ryo turns around to find the source of the voice. It was none other than Ken and Wormmon. Ryo waves over to them.
"Ryo!"
"Hey, Ken! Um, what brings you here?"
"Ryo. I've had a lot on my mind and I just had to come to you."
"Why me?"
"I have a question."
"Shoot."
"Do you by some chance known a boy with a Wormmon in the digital world?"
"I… I don't seem to recall. I've been through a long journey through two separate worlds. My memory is too cloudy to even remember."
"But I've see a boy similar to you. When I was a little boy, I saw a boy look like you. That same boy accompanied me through my first adventure in the digital world."
"You must have gotten the wrong guy, because I've never seen you before."
"Are you sure?"
"I don't know… It's like as if we have met before, but my memory is too cloudy to even remember."
"Plus, this boy has a different digimon," Wormmon points out. "I remember the digimon that accompanied the other boy. It was a Veemon."
"I don't understand what this all means," Ryo stated. "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
"Because we want to know. Are you really Ryo Akiyama?"
"Yes."
"That's the name of the boy who accompanied me in my first digital world experience. We both defeated a monster and I was infected with a dark spore."
"A monster?"
"Yes. I do believe his name was Millenniummon."
"Millenniummon? How come that I don't remember any of this? Is this guy telling the truth or is he high on something?" Ryo thought.
"I think we better save these 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' questions for another time," Wormmon said. "Those cops are heading this way. Let's move!"
With that said, Ken and Ryo headed out to relocate themselves to a new location. Little did they realize that Demon was watching them from high above. He set his eyes on Ken.
**************************************************************************************
Digital World. Northern Quadrant
Mummymon had just arrived at the northern quadrant, after fighting through dust clouds and data streams along the way. It was a rough journey but he had finally made it through. He looked up ahead and saw what looked like a house made out of chaos mass. His eyes widened in surprise.
"Is that a jello house? I could sure go for some jello now!"
As soon as he went running up towards the chaos mass, Mummymon stopped at his tracks and noticed somebody walking inside of the house. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped.
"Is that the D-Reaper?! That's got to be it! I better pull out another one of my heroic shout outs. Here goes nothing…"
Mummymon quickly pulls out his gun and points it right over towards the chaos home. He clicked on the trigger and goes shouting out.
"D-Reaper! Come on out here! I've got a gun and I'm not afraid of using it! Your reign of terror is over! Because I'm going to stop you! You really don't want to see me when I'm mad! Now open up-"
Just as he was about finish his sentence, the door to the front opened up and D-Reaper comes walking out to face Mummymon. The two had a silent stare down as Mummymon dropped his gun and showed a little sign of fear on his face. D-Reaper responded with a smile and a child-like call.
"Hello there…"
"Huh? Ah-ha! Hello to you, D-Reaper! You obviously don't know who I am! I'm your worst nightmare come to life! I am the champion from the other digital world! I am Mummymon! You better get ready for the pain!"
As soon as Mummymon got into a quick fighting pose, D-Reaper took notice of his foolishness and started to giggle. Mummymon stopped and narrowed his eyes over to her.
"What's so funny? I'm no comedian! I'm dead serious! I'm here to stop you, D-Reaper. Prepare to fall before me. There's no way that you're going to delete and take my data."
D-Reaper's giggles turn into that of hysterical laughter as she fell on her back while laughing. She laughed so hard that she was forced to hold her stomach and control her composure.
"But… I'm a champion…"
D-Reaper goes sitting up and giggling under her breath. She walks around Mummymon and examined him.
"Champion, eh? You don't look like a good fighter. Maybe you're champion of cracking jokes, comedian."
Mummymon stomped his foot down and clenched his fists as his eyes started to bulge open with veins popping out from the top of his head.
"Hear me! I am no funny digimon! I can't even crack a good joke! Arukenimon says that my jokes are a curse and for once, I agree with her. There's no one in the digital world that thinks I'm funny! But you seem to think that I am some sort of comedian?!"
D-Reaper smiles and falls right down onto the floor while giggling some more. Mummymon falls backwards with a sweat drop coming down his face. D-Reaper crawls over to Mummymon and giggles.
"You fall down. You're funny… Do it again."
"What?!"
"Do it again. That was funny."
"How in the hell is that supposed to be funny?! I'm a crappy comedian!"
"But your funny to me. Do it again. Or I'll cry so hard that you will force yourself to do it anyways."
D-Reaper turns her back on Mummymon and crosses her arms. Mummymon sits up and looks over towards her with an angry look.
"You expect me to fall over such an evil creature such as yourself. You've caused too much pain to others. That's not good. Your just making everyone hate you."
"But, they run away from me. They made me mad. But you don't seem to be afraid of me. You're funny. I can't kill a funny man. Fall down again."
Mummymon sighs under his breath and slaps himself across the forehead, as if he were telling himself that this was the most embarrassing thing he has ever done in his digital life. Mummymon rolls his eyes back and goes falling back like he did before. D-Reaper starts laughing hysterically. Mummymon quickly had an idea to mind and sits up.
"D-Reaper. Since I'm so funny to you, could you please be kind enough for you lead me into your lovely home?"
"Oooh. Of course! Come right in. Just don't touch the mean ol' chaos mass, it will delete you."
"Um, thanks for the warning."
As soon as she led him into her home, Mummymon was astonished, as he found nothing but almost a white, empty space. Not even a single color. Mummymon goes walking into what looked like a kitchen and searched around for food. To his surprise, he found nothing but canned goods.
"Hey, they're all canned!"
"I like them canned. Its fun opening up cans."
"Guess your right about that."
Mummymon searched through his pockets and then pulls out what looks sort of like a Game Boy console. He pushes the 'on' button and hands it over to D-Reaper. She takes it and examines it.
"What is this device?"
"It's called a handheld system. You play games on this. Its pretty fun once you get used to it."
"Is it a present for me?"
"You could say that."
"Ah! My first present! Nobody has ever been this nice to me! How do I play this?"
"Well, this is a martial arts game, but it should be a little easy. Here, you choose form many digimon fighters. Look, you've got Arukenimon, many others, and me. I suggest you pick me. I'm the best one fighter on this game."
D-Reaper does everything she was told and began to play. Soon, she was smiling like a happy child after winning throughout the fist portions of the game, and then she started getting frustrated as she began to lose.
"No! No! No! I lost! This game is hard!"
Mummymon started to panic as D-Reaper started jumping around angrily and pounding her fists on the floor. Mummymon felt earthquakes erupting as a result and goes digging into his satchel. He pulls out yet another game and places it into the handheld device.
"This game should be a little easier. It's what humans call Tetrix. Here, try it out. Its much easier to handle."
D-Reaper proceeds to play the game but then she quickly starts losing her patience since the first level was already too hard for her. She throws the Game Boy down onto the ground and stomps on it with sheer anger. Mummymon started to back away as D-Reaper slowly approached him with steam coming out of her ears.
"Here! I bought these chocolates just for you! Here, try some. You might like them!"
Mummymon pulls out a box of chocolates, which D-Reaper started to examine. Her angry face turns into that of glee as she started to stuff each chocolate into her mouth. A sudden devious smirk forms across Mummymon's face.
"Hehehe. Too bad that she doesn't realize that each chocolate is laced with the poison of digi-ivy, the most venomous plant in the digital world! She'll be done after it's all said and done. Oh Mummymon, you are a genius."
As soon as she got done eating, D-Reaper was simply unaffected and licking her lips. Mummymon's eyes widen in shock at what he just saw. D-Reaper giggled and started sucking her sticky fingers.
"How in the hell is she still standing?! She wasn't even affected. That poison is strong enough to even kill a mega digimon off. All right! It's time for plan B!"
The bandaged digimon pulls out a detonator and quickly pops open its top. He then presses the top button and watches as it caused the whole home to explode. The force of the explosion causes Mummymon to go flying back. As soon as the light of the explosion faded away, Mummymon peered through in great anticipation, in hopes of riding the digital worlds of the D-Reaper. But his eyes widened in shock at what he was seeing.
"Impossible! She's still not affected! That should have finished her off for good."
D-Reaper walks out from the smoke and her body was not affected from the explosion. She looked around and realized that her home was destroyed. A smile forms across her face.
"Thank you for the fun, Mummymon. That was really good to know that somebody is nice to me."
"Um, your very welcome. I guess."
"I've decided to spare you of your life. You're a funny man and I shouldn't kill off a funny man."
"Yeah, killing comedians is not fun. Then there would be no laughter in the world. Even digital worlds will need comedians."
"Yes. Looks like I'll have to rebuild this house again. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. I'll just sleep out in forest for tonight. By the way, I've got some gumballs in my pocket. You want some? Some crazy digimon were making some of those, so I stole some from them before deleting them."
"Um, sure. They look so yummy!"
Mummymon goes and takes a gumball and swallows it. His face quickly showed that of pure disgust. He quickly came up with an idea.
"Hey, is that a fire truck behind you?!"
"Where?!"
Mummymon quickly spits it out and gags out. He looks up and notices that D-Reaper's head is turned. He takes advantage of this distraction and delivers a fist to D-Reaper's face. Nothing it had no affect on her and this completely caught Mummymon by surprise. D-Reaper doesn't even seem to notice it.
"I guess it was just a shadow…"
But just as he said that, D-Reaper cups her hands together and sends out a blast towards the direction that Mummymon pointed out to. An explosion occurs and it leaves nothing but a small crater in the ground. Mummymon looks on with his eyes widening as if he were about to pass out, but he went on to clap for her.
"That was wonderful, D-Reaper! Fantastic! You really showed that fire truck!"
Mummymon quickly pulls out a camera and sets it on a log. He sets up the timer and rushes right over towards D-Reaper.
"Hurry! Let's take a picture, D-Reaper! For keeps sake. You know what I mean?"
"Ooh! A picture! I can't wait!"
"Why don't you lie down on the ground? This is a popular way to take pictures."
"Ok."
As soon as they got into their postures, the camera flashed and the result of the photo was Mummymon standing over the D-Reaper with a grin on his face. He snatches the picture and places it in his shirt pocket.
"Heh. Heh. This is going to look good on the press. Wait till the guardians take a look on this."
D-Reaper goes walking over towards Mummymon and he turns around to face her with an innocent grin on his face.
"By the way, I'm a really good cook! I'll make you one of the best meals that you've ever had!"
"Yeah! I was getting hungry anyways. What are you planning on making?"
"It's one of my best recipes. You'll love it."
****************************************************************************************
Outer Digital Universe.
The ritual was still taking place as Gosenzomon was dancing all around Angewomon, which didn't suit well for the angel ultimate.
"When will the hurting stop, Kari?"
After a long, moronic chant, Gosenzomon goes falling down onto his knees and had an exhausted look on his face. They all looked over towards him. A sigh of relief came across the faces of Shintomon, Kari and Agumon. Shintomon goes walking over towards the napping Tai to tell him the good news.
"Taichi. She's done with the ritual. And about damn time too."
"All right, Angewomon. You should have this time to stretch out," said Gosenzomon, "I hope that ritual didn't bother you."
"No, it didn't. It was quite an experience if you want my opinion and a pain in the ass."
"If you want my opinion, then I'm going to say that ritual was the most moronic and pointless ritual I've ever see. Even watching golf games are funnier than this,"Kari thought.
"So how much strong have you gotten, Angewomon?" Agumon asked the titan.
"Ok, Angewomon! Listen you! Now you will have to endure another twenty hours for the power up," Gosenzomon announced.
"Aw crap! Here we go again!"Angewomon thought.
"What you will need to do is sit still and concentrate," said Gosenzomon.
"But that's too freaking long! We don't have time for this foolishness!"
"Just bear with me, Angewomon. It will actually pay off in the end. This is all you have to do to surpass your limits."
Angewomon looks over towards Kari, Agumon and Tai. They all shrugged their shoulders in response as the mega eventually gave into Gosenzomon's request. Angewomon starts her meditation process. Gosenzomon raises his War Greymon arm and places it over Angewomon to begin the twenty-hour power up.
"Gosenzomon. Let's just hope that this power up will eventually pay off," said Tai, "I don't think the others would really approve of this as a form of training anyways."
****************************************************************************************
Other side of Digital Universe. Buddamon's Domain
Both Imperialdramon and War Angemon were ready to attempt to perform the fusion technique while in their higher, ascendant forms. They quickly got into the stance and pointed their fingers towards each other.
"All right, you two. Remember not to be so arrogant this time around. You also have to understand how immense D-Reaper's power truly is."
"Yeah, we'll remember not to pull off that stunt again," War Angemon chuckled.
"Ok, we're ready to get serious."
"Begin."
With that said, the warriors quickly powered up and auras formed around their bodies. Then they both managed to match their kis perfectly. Buddamon watches them performing the fusion pose that is then followed by a flash of light and strong energy being generated. The result is an extremely powerful War Dramon with a massive ki and a bright golden-blue aura surrounding his body.
"Impressive… their power is amazing," said Buddamon, "I've never felt such strong ki from common digimon. Alright, I want to see how fast you can move."
War Dramon replies with a nod and quickly speed off into the left direction. Buddamon was shocked at what he just saw and goes flying after them. But every time that he makes it over to reaching them, they quickly vanish out within the speed of light.
"My goddramon! Even their speed has reached all new heights! Where did they go?"
Buddamon felt a very strong ki and looked up to the skies above. He saw a single, flash of light moving around the entire planet in the shape of a 'shooting star'. Buddamon's eyes widen at the incredible rate of speed that War Dramon was traveling at.
"They must be traveling at the considerable fraction of the speed of light itself! Even, I was unable to accomplish that feat. Just what kind of powers do these digital warriors have within them?"
War Dramon looks down towards the training grounds from the sky above with a look on satisfaction.
"Wow, I must have traveled so fast. He couldn't even catch me. Ok, its time we better take a break and cool off."
War Dramon goes hovering down back onto the training grounds and gets down into a laying position. Buddamon looks up at them with widened eyes and a gaping mouth expression.
"So, how did I do?"
Buddamon responds with a slow nod as he goes falling back while trying to regain his composure.
***************************************************************************************
Digital World.
D-Reaper had managed to rebuild her home and was now inside as Mummymon was reading a sad, love story to her. D-Reaper was giggling and smiling because of the way that Mummymon was reading to her. He was shocked and bewildered to see D-Reaper laughing at a sad story.
Soon after that, D-Reaper goes walking outside and looks up to the skies above. A smile comes across her face and a cruel thought had come to her mind.
"Where are you going, D-Reaper? I was just getting to the end of the story."
"I'm going to go out to kill some more digimon and load more data."
"Ho! Ho! Wait! Wait! Don't go!"
D-Reaper was taken appalled by this, but was more shocked than angry. Mummymon stood in her way with a worried look.
"What's wrong?"
"You're idea of killing."
"What's wrong with killing?"
"Why do you like to kill people and destroy things?"
D-Reaper has a questionable look on her face and a smile slowly forms in place of her frown.
"Well, its fun. That's how Black Magimon and Dark Magimon taught me to play."
"Who are they? Are they friends of yours?"
"They're really evil digimon who created me. They used their evil corruption and ordered me to kill digital life forms for the fun of it."
"D-Reaper. You didn't have to listen to them. They want you to do evil things just to make themselves happy. They never cared for you. You shouldn't be killing digimon like that. It's very wrong. So, please, don't hurt or kill anymore digimon."
D-Reaper is quickly taken back by this and narrows her eyes over to Mummymon, who slowly starts to back away.
"If I offended you in any way, then I think you should make this your own decision. You decide what to do."
D-Reaper slowly approaches Mummymon, in which he starts to cower away from the corrupted being. D-Reaper sticks her face in front of Mummymon's.
"If you only think that I should stop."
"Yes. Please, don't kill or hurt anymore digimon." Please."
"Ok."
"I can't believe it. I just helped changed her mind. Mummymon, you are a genius!"
Mummymon could hardly believe his ears and was shocked at what D-Reaper had just said. It was unbelievable, but true. He managed to outsmart to single, most destructive force within the digital world. He had, indeed, saved it from the evil hands of the D-Reaper.
"I promise never to hurt or kill anymore digimon."
"Yes! There are plenty of better things to do than to kill others. I can take you out into the outside world and show you many wonder and exciting places. You'll never imagine what you are missing."
Just then, somebody was running up towards the home and it was none other than Black Gatomon. D-Reaper takes notice of him and a smile forms across her face.
"Kitty cat. You came to see me?"
"Yes. I knew you would be here since I could feel your presence. Say, who's this strong fellow with you?"
"He's, Mummymon. We're friends. He told me to stop killing digimon and I promised. You want to go with us. We're going to explore the digital world."
"I'd be glad to!"
"Well then, its a trip for three! Lets go heading out before Arukenimon starts biting her head off because of me being gone for this long. She hates it when I arrive home late. She'll be quite thrilled to see that I made some new friends."
D-Reaper and Black Gatomon shrugged over at each other while Mummymon began berating himself again.
Meanwhile, just deep within some nearby bushes, a Deputymon and a Gazimon were holding out a pair of snipers. They both peered out to see Mummymon, Black Gatomon and D-Reaper.
"There it is, Gazimon. It's our perfect opportunity to kill the D-Reaper. We're going to get a big bonus out of this."
"I don't know. The digimon resistance army were defeated and deleted for their attempted efforts. What makes you think that no good assassins like us can get the job done?"
"Just watch and learn my friend. Demon didn't guarantee us eternal power for nothing. I'm jumping at that opportunity! All we have to do is break the core of this little bitch!"
"Who do you got your eyes set on first?"
"That defenseless Black Gatomon. You always have to take out the weak first."
"Good point."
Deputymon gets a good view on Black Gatomon and has his target through the crosshairs of the sniper. He quickly pulls the trigger and Black Gatomon is quickly struck. Mummymon and D-Reaper both looked on with shock.
Black Gatomon goes falling down motionless and the essence life in his eyes completely gone. D-Reaper screamed and falls over to his side. She scoops Black Gatomon up in her arms and holds him.
The terrorist digimon looked on laughing and cheering to one another.
"Yes! Direct hit, my friend!"
"Thanks! Now I've got my eyes set on that no good D-Reaper! I'm so going to enjoy this…"
D-Reaper started to tear up as Black Gatomon was struggling to sustaining his physical form as he was slowly being deleted.
"Please… help me… Dee…"
"Kitty cat. Don't go! I'll make it all better!"
Mummymon quickly looks up and catches a glimpse of the two terrorists with an enraged look on his face. They were both cheering and clapping triumphantly. He points over to them and clenches his fists.
"You two are going to pay for this! Why in the hell did you do that?! You shot that defenseless Gatomon! How can you even condone your actions?!"
D-Reaper's gaze still hasn't left the dying Black Gatomon. Gazimon quickly pulls out his binoculars and takes a good glimpse of the enraged Mummymon. He gasps at whom he just saw.
"Hey! Isn't that Mummymon, the so-called savior of the other digital world?"
"Yeah, I do believe so, Gazimon. I say we kill him along with the D-Reaper!"
With that said, Gazimon pulls out a bazooka and aims it towards the three. He manages to aim and figures it over at them with a sadistic grin on his face.
"Die and burn in hell!"
The missile that was shot out from the bazooka goes hurtling over towards D-Reaper's house and it exploded within a matter of moments. The two started firing away at the area and watched as a large cloud of smoke started to engulf the area.
As soon as they got finished firing with every weapon that they had, the terrorists peered out to see D-reaper standing. They gazed in horror as D-Reaper had an ever so pissed off look on her face. Her eyes were now fuming with a pure, crimson red replacing her misty, purple eyes. Steam starts shooting out from her head as she glared at them and began to walk forward. The terrorist digimon started to panic. Deputymon goes running off, leaving Gazimon behind. He looks out to see not only D-Reaper, but also a royally pissed off Mummymon.
"Hey! Look! I can explain everything!"
"Yeah?! Well explain to the back of my foot about to cram down you're throat!" exclaimed Mummymon.
Right when Gazimon was about to pull out his bazooka, Mummymon goes charging over towards him and delivers a devastating kick to his face.
"I'm putting the wraps on you! Snake Bandage!"
Gazimon was now helpless as the bandages began to wrap around him and held him down, in which he couldn't find a way to escape.
"These bandages are almost impossible to break free out of. There's no chance of you trying to escape with your buddy. I suggest him to show his face and come face us like a good digimon!"
Mummymon goes descending off of the cliff and goes to meet up with D-Reaper. She was kneeling before the dying digimon and held her hand over his wound. Mummymon looked over and examined over what D-Reaper was now about to do.
"Please… help…me…"
"Thank goddramon that your even still able to remain alive, little guy," said Mummymon, "Those mean terrorists won't come back to hurt you again."
"Here, let me heal your wounds," D-Reaper said, "Hold still, ok?"
Black Gatomon nodded with approval as he closed his eyes and allowed D-Reaper to heal his physical form. Her hands started to glow and a bright halo started to form all over Black Gatomon's body. After a few moments, D-Reaper stops the healing process and waits.
"Did it work, D-Reaper?"
"We'll have to see and find out."
With that said, they both looked on and were elated at what they were seeing. Black Gatomon stirred and quickly opened his eyes. Both D-Reaper and Mummymon smiled as Black Gatomon sat up holding his head. He looks over to D-Reaper and a smile forms across his face.
"Thanks, Dee. I owe you one. You truly are life saver."
D-Reaper smiles and crawls over towards Black Gatomon giving him a hug, which brought a smile from Mummymon.
"Aww. This is so sweet. I've actually tamed the D-Reaper and made her into a rather harmless little girl. Looks like the threat to the two digital worlds is no more. My job here is complete."

Earth. Abandoned Warehouse. East Shinjuku
Demon sat up as his eyes were fuming with a red glow. Tambourinemon and Cymbalmon backed away as their lord was expressing an extreme anger that would easily send chills down a mega digimon's spine.
"Those imbeciles screwed up! I'm giving them only one more chance to get it right! Why do I always end up hiring the idiots?!"
"Whew, I'm just glad that we're not hunting the D-Reaper," Cymbalmon thought.
**************************************************************************************
Other side of Digital Universe.
While Angewomon's twenty-hour power-up was still continuing, the others watched on impatiently with dissatisfied looks on their faces. They were even more displeased when they saw Gosenzomon sitting down and reading swimsuit digimon magazine. However, at the same time, he had still had his hands over Angewomon just as the ultimate was in her meditation process.
"Its pretty obvious, don't you think?" said Kari.
"What's that Kari?" Agumon asked.
"That Gosenzomon is more interested in those girls in the magazine than concentrating on the power-up for Angewomon. This is supposed to be serious work."
Angewomon couldn't agree more as she had quite an annoyed look on her face. But Gosenzomon replied to her as if he were reading her thoughts right away.
"Don't worry. I promise that this power-up will eventually pay off in the end. So is this Mimi cute? Remember that bargain Taichi and I made."
"Ugh, just concentrate on what you're doing and focus on making me stronger with this power-up."
"Don't worry. I can concentrate just fine. This is very simple for me. Anyways, back to subject…"
"Right, well Mimi is pretty beautiful and she has a killer body too. Kinda like a model…"
"Wow! A real life human model… you never get one of those here in the outer digital universe."
The others could only look on with amazement and yet a little irritated. Shintomon looks on with a smile on his face.
"Wow. My ancestor is great. The power that I'm sensing from him is amazing. I have no doubts this power-up will do Angewomon a lot of good."
"Are you sure about that?" Tai asked.
"It doesn't look like it is," Kari said, "This is a waste of my time."
"Well, if Shintomon says that this will pay off, then it's going to pay off. These higher beings don't bluff," said Agumon.
"Right. Just watch and see how powerful Angewomon will get. Then you'll know for certain if this power-up till do any good for Angewomon to defeat the D-Reaper."
***************************************************************************************
Digital World
The D-Reaper and Black Gatomon were now playing tag with one another and it looks as though D-Reaper has become harmless and the so-called 'threat to the digital worlds' was put to rest for now. Mummymon looks on with a single tear coming down his eye.
"She looks so happy with her new friend. I can't believe that I was sent out to kill such a cute little thing. Oh I almost forgot something."
Mummymon pulls the photo out that he had taken earlier of himself standing triumphant over D-Reaper. He takes the photo and starts to shred it into pieces.
"I was so wrong for taking that photo. D-Reaper, I'm going to let you live the rest of our life in peace. You actually deserve better. Plus I'm sure I can persuade the sovereigns to take pity on you and reconstruct the digital world."
"Mummymon! Watch us pay tag! Its very fun," exclaimed D-Reaper, "This is the most fun I had ever!"
Black Gatomon goes sneaking up behind her and slaps her across the back of her leg. D-Reaper quickly goes after Black Gatomon and manages to catch right up to him. She then tags him on his back.
"You're it!"
"Now they're playing tag. This is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen. You know what? I think I'll go and join them!" Mummymon exclaimed, "Make room for one more participant. Can I play tag too?!"
"Sure! You better run as fast as you can! I'm it," Black Gatomon announced, "You don't want to be it this early do you, Mummymon?"
"Not at all and I don't plan on being it," Mummymon replied, "You have to catch me first!"
"Here I come!"
D-Reaper and Mummymon go running away as Black Gatomon goes scrambling right after them. Just as they were playing tag and taking their attention off of everything else, the Gazimon managed to pull himself through the 'Snake Bandage' after cutting his way through with his pocketknife.
"Ack! I was getting cramped up in there! Alright, now back to business!" Gazimon cried out.
Mummymon quickly catches sight of Gazimon, who was now kneeling on the top of the hill holding a handgun. Gazimon aims right for Mummymon's chest as he speaks.
"You traitor of a digimon! You're siding with the D-Reaper! You must die!"
"Well come on and get me!"
Mummymon goes leaping right for Gazimon with his gun intact; Gazimon quickly responds and pulls the trigger. Mummymon's eyes widen as everything went into slow motion. His chest was quickly struck and Mummymon was sent flying back. Mummymon goes falling down onto the ground and is lying motionless.
Gazimon backs away and tosses his handgun down. D-Reaper quickly turns around and screams in horror at the sight of her fallen friend. She runs right over and kneels before him.
"Mummymon! Not you too! You got struck down too?!"
Just as she said that, Mummymon's wound was starting to slowly widen as data started to flow away from his body. But it seems that D-Reaper was controlling her burning fury. Steam starts shooting out from her ears as she began to heal Mummymon's wound. As soon as she was finished, Mummymon opened his eyes and felt better than ever. He looks right over at D-Reaper.
"Thank you, D-Reaper. You saved my life. I thought I was going to die. But I really can't afford to pass on like that…"
Just as he was about to finish his senseless babbling, D-Reaper stuck her hand out in his face. He noticed D-Reaper trying desperately to control her inner rage. She clenches her teeth and holds her hands over her head while pulling out some of her own hair.
"D-Reaper? What's the matter? What's making you so mad?"
D-Reaper starts walking away and doesn't even turn to face him. However, she responded to his pleas.
"Mummymon. You and kitty cat get away from here as far away as possible. Do it for your own sake."
Mummymon is caught by surprise by her strict orders. He goes and reaches over for D-Reaper, but she simply walks further away from him. D-Reaper began to scream out with murderous rage, which brought frightening chills down Mummymon's spine. He reaches over Black Gatomon and goes running off to the other side.
"Get away now! Make sure kitty cat is safe, Mummymon!"
As soon as she said that, D-Reaper collapses onto the ground with her hands over her head as if something was taking control of her mind. It was her rage that was building up from within her. The anger that she was enduring was unbearable as pain. Steam starts blasting from her head and gathers a small cloud over her. Her body also started to glow a crimson shade color and there was a low humming sound coming everything her body pulsed.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon could only look on towards the cloud in horror. The lifeless smog began to materialize. Mummymon goes rushing back over towards D-Reaper, but was too late to save her. The steam now was starting to form limbs and a body. Within a quick blink of an eye, the new figure was formed.
The new creature stood before the D-Reaper, it had a dull gray-brown skin color and a very thin body. It also had the same attire that the D-Reaper had on. But instead of having that of a cute little girl's face, this one was ugly and looked more like a witch. D-Reaper looks forwards and was gazing up none other than the evil manifestation form of her evilness. All of that rage and hatred had created this new creature, the evil corrupted form of the D-Reaper.
Gazimon could only look on with horror as he began shooting at the new D-Reaper creature. But every time that his shots connected, they simply bounced off of the monster. The creature was quite impervious to the shots and looks over at the terrorist. It quickly sends out a blast and vaporizes the Gazimon within the blink of an eye. Gazimon didn't have time to react as he exploded into data.
"Oh no! This is horrible! I have to do something, but I'm jut too scared of what to do now!" Mummymon exclaimed, "D-Reaper! Who is that?!"
D-Reaper simply ignored Mummymon's pleas and was standing face to face with her corrupted, evil self. A cruel smile comes across the witch's face. Mummymon and Black Gatomon were now witnessing the D-Reaper's good and evil halves facing off in a showdown.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. Abandoned Warehouse. East Shinjuku
Demon sits up and gleefully cackles. The demon duo came to realization that the bountry hunter's mission was complete. This was the moment Demon was looking for. Now it was time to set off the next portion to his diabolical plan: corrupt the D-Reaper mass.
"Yes! It is time to set my next plan into motion! The D-Reaper mass shall be corrupted under my power. Time to set everything to motion!"
With that said, Demon disappears from sight.
"Um, you want me to get the champagne?" Tambourinemon asked.
"Hey, it's on you're tab. You deal with it."
"Ugh. Why am I always the supplier? My job bites."
*************************************************************************************
Demon concealed himself in an invisible barrier as he levitated above the D-Reaper mass. This way Hypnos and the armed forces wouldn't stop him. However, it does not as if they would pose a threat to him since he would easily wipe them out in a single shot. But, he also created a barrier to prevent himself from getting deleted by the D-Reaper mass itself.
"D-Reaper mass. With my power, I shall put you under my command and you shall do my evil bidding. I shall carry out Magimon's desires and continue his path of destruction. Now, arise my agents!"
With that said, Demon waves his hands and releases a purple mist, which covers the entire D-Reaper mass. The mass itself starts glowing. Slowly, small bird-like creatures started emerging from the mass. Demon chuckles as he fades out.
"Now carry out my wishes, my agents! Send a little message that I'm running the show."
As soon as he said that, the small bird-like creatures started spreading out throughout the city.
**************************************************************************************
West Shinjuku
Takato and Guilmon had already gotten off of their train and headed out to go find the nearest pay phone. Takato was now going to call for home and let them know where he was at the moment.
"Hey, Takatomon. Who are you calling?"
"My parents. They must be flipping after leaving them. I better let them know where I am."
As soon as he dialed the number, Takato winced as he heard the screaming voice of his own mother.
"Who is this?! If this is Takato, then you better come right back immediately!"
"Take it easy, mom. It's me."
"Takato?! Oh thank god! Your back! Please come home, Takato. For all we know that red mass that the reporters are talking about on TV is over at where you are. By the way, where are you?"
"I'm at the train station, mom. I'm a little far from home at the moment."
"Well, at least, you're no in the city. All right, you can do me a favor and you can find your way over to your aunt's house and stay over for the night. We'll go by and pick you right up in the morning."
Just then, Takato had just remembered about the chaos mass and looks out onto the television.
"Takato?! Are you there?! Takato?!"
"I'm sorry, mom. But I have to go!"
"Takato, wait…"
But just as she was about to finish, Takato had already hung up and turns his attention over to a nearby television screen with a shocked look on his face.
"How are we going to stop the chaos mass, Takato?"
"I don't know, but its time to regroup with Rika and Henry. We're the only ones who can bio-merge with you guys. Let's go!"
"Right!"
***************************************************************************************
Cody was riding Ankylomon through an underground tunnel, which would possibly lead them towards the city of Shinjuku. This was the best possible route for Cody to get to Shinjuku.
"Cody? Are we there yet?"
"No. Let's keep going."
**************************************************************************************
Back over at the Nonaka residence, Rika was sitting down and trying to keep her composure together. But she could not keep her patience under control and quickly sits up with a fiery will in her eyes.
"Renamon! I can't stand sitting around like this. Let's go! There's countless of lives counting on us."
"I'm with you! Let's go!"
"Rika, wait!"
Just as the red-haired girl was about to head out the door, she turned to face her mother holding out a box.
"Before you go out there, I've been meaning to tell you something. I understand that you have to do this, correct?"
"Yeah. There are people out there that depend on us. We have to do anything we can do save them."
"I completely understand. When I was very young, I married early but I didn't let anybody stop me from doing so. Looks like you inherited my stubbornness. I was almost exactly like you when I was younger. Before you go, I wanted you to at least try this new shirt one. Take it and tell me what you think."
Rika looks over and takes the box that her mother handed over. She opens it and gasps at what she says.
"Isn't it just lovely, dear?"
"Oh mom…"
Rika looks over the shirt and it looked exactly identical to her own. But this one had a fully shaped heart instead of a broken one. A slight smile forms across Rika's face and noticed that her mother was also wearing the same shirt with the full heart on it.
"I thought it would look nice on you, Rika."
"Oh mom…"
It was clear that the shirt's indication became clear that Rika's heart was now fully cured after years of being unhappy towards her own mother. Today that all changed and Rika now realized the love that her own mother was trying to give to her over those many years. Rika slipped off her old shirt and places on the new one.
"We have to go, mother. We'll be back."
As soon as she said that, Rika goes running out the door with Renamon following behind her. Mrs. Nonaka stood by and watched as her daughter walked out not to run away from her problems but to protect her family.
"Mother, do you think I did the right thing by letting her go?"
"She would have gone anyway, Rumiko. There's nothing you could have done. I know how deeply you love her."
"But I just wonder if even love is enough…"
****************************************************************************************
Back over at sensei's place, Henry and his mother were kneeling to each other. Henry was now going to ask her the most difficult question that he had ever asked, but was a little too afraid of how his mother would even react.
"Now, mom. I know you love my very much, but this is something I have to do. I have to go out there and join up with my friends. We're the only ones that can stop this new menace."
"If you feel you have to go then go."
"Really?"
"But I feel that you shouldn't go because of the fact that I will miss you. You left those couple of days without my knowing. Don't you realize how worried I was? Your father consoled me that you were out of town, but I didn't want to believe him until now. I don't feel comfortable of letting you go out there."
"But I'm not going to be fighting this thing alone. I've got my friends depending on me. Please, try to understand mom, this is something we have to do."
"Look like I already know the choice you're going to make. Your going out there, are you?"
"Yes and its something I have to do."
"Then, I should just stand aside and let you go then. You're just like your father. You two always seem to jump into situations way too often. It happened a long time ago with your father. He had quit his job after trying to save from friend when his home was burned down."
"I know. I heard the story. But unlike that story, I will be coming back. You can rest assure that, mother."
Just as the blue-haired boy was about to head out to leave, he gave a slight bow to his mother in a form of respect and goes running up to Terriermon. He picks him up and they go heading out the door. The mother was left behind while crying to herself.
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Mr. Wong and Izzy were standing by the van while looking out towards the chaos-infested city with a look of bewilderment. They had just noticed that it was starting to grow and grow, but there was some sort of negative force that was feeding it to enable it to grow.
"I just wonder what's causing that mass to grow so abnormally?"
"According to my readings, there's a negative source that's feeding the mass itself and I really have no idea of what it could be. We have yet to find the source."
Mr. Wong noticed Yamaki looking a little depressed and goes walking over towards him. He could overhear the man mumbling to himself.
"I just can't believe that I and Hypnos could have allowed this to occur. It was as if we created some sort of weakness in the world walls which could have allowed this red mass to reappear in our world."
Mr. Wong sighed and was about to say something to stop Yamaki's worrying but knew that it wasn't going to do any good for him.
"Izzy…"
"What is it, Tentomon?"
"I have a bad feeling that Demon is behind this."
"Demon? Why do you figure that?"
"Because the D-Reaper wasn't growing abnormally in mass like this before. Just a while ago, I felt an uneasy presence and I came to the conclusion that Demon must have corrupted the mass under his power."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
"It didn't think it was such a big deal. Besides, Demon just crossed my mind."
"If that's the case, then we're dealing with two enemies. Without Tai and the others, how are we going to stand up to two powerful enemies? Even if the Tamers have returned, what are our chances?"
"I hate to admit, but our chances are maybe near slim to none."
"Ugh. I was afraid you were going to say that. Just what the hell are Tai and the others doing now? This is a serious crisis on our hands!"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, within the city, the military had just arrived as they were heading out to mobilize the chaos mass. Heavy artillery was brought in the form of large tanks. Soldiers came marching in with machine guns and gas masks. They marched along as they viewed the chaos mass engulfing the city of Shinjuku.
"All right, men! That ahead is the enemy! We will do everything to stop it and we won't rest until the enemy is defeated. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir!"
As the military marched on, one soldier was taping the whole situation through a video camera.
"How is the view coming in? Are you able to get a full view of the mass?" asked the commander.
"Yes, sir. We got one good view. This should be enough."
Just then, the camera view was starting to lose picture and something had pulled the soldier down to the ground. His fellow soldiers came running to their comrade and helped him to his feet, but then turned to see the camera being 'pulled' away.
"Looks like the enemy knows of our whereabouts," the commander said, "Lets move out and investigate the situation."
Pikkan looks on while hiding in an alleyway. He looks up and realizes that a horde of the bird- creatures Demon summoned were crawling up against the ways. One approached the alterian and started scanning him. Pikkan roars and shoots out a blast to incinerate the agent.
"Annoying little punk. Demon's plan has already been set out into action? Well, then. Looks like I have a heavy duty load to carry out."
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Jeri and Leomon were looking out from the roof as they gazed upon the giant red mass that was expanding throughout the city of Shinjuku. Leomon was getting a very negative feeling from the mass and felt a very strong ki coming from it.
"Leomon, what is it?"
"I'm sensing a negative vibe from that mass? Something is obviously happening to the D-Reaper in the digital world. It seems to be getting stronger for some reason. It's a horrible ki that I'm sensing."
Jeri and Calumon could only gasp at what Leomon had just said and could now only fear for the worst to come.
"Not to mention that we have another enemy in the real world. It's Demon's brother. I should have known," Leomon growled.
"Demon? Who's this Demon?" Jeri asked.
"Yeah. That name sounds pretty scary," Calumon shuddered.
***************************************************************************************
Digital World
The two D-Reapers faced each other off with Mummymon and Black Gatomon looking on from the background. A questionable look comes across the original D-Reaper's face.
"Just who are you? And why are you wearing the same clothes as I am?"
There was no response coming from the other wicked, evil corrupted D-Reaper. But she simply smiled and responded in question.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the D-Reaper!"
"No, I am the true D-Reaper. The mass of destruction and the threat to all digital life," the newly spawned evil hissed.
Mummymon was taken appalled by what the evil one had just said and goes falling back with widened eyes and a gaping mouth. Black Gatomon covered his face, in order to refrain himself from looking over at the frightening presence of the evil D-Reaper.
D-Reaper glowers and then goes throwing a barrage of punches over at her evil counterpart, but to no avail. The evil one seemed to be dodging without making any kind of an effort whatsoever. D-Reaper is taken back and in complete shock. The evil one had seemingly found a way to overwhelm her. Mummymon goes cheering for his friend.
"Go kick that ugly witch's butt! Give her a one-two!" exclaimed Mummymon.
"You can do it, Dee!"
D-Reaper could not believe that she was completely outmatched and could not make any contact hits with her evil counterpart. She becomes enraged and pulls out a piece of her own skin off and starts swinging it over her head.
"I tried this on Metalla X, but you won't be able to escape this!"
As soon as she said that, D-Reaper wrenches back and tosses the piece of skin at her evil counterpart and watched as it wrapped around it. D-Reaper stood there triumphant and smirked at the sight of her counterpart being wrapped up by the skin piece. It pulls tighter and tighter as both Mummymon and Black Gatomon cheered. But soon the celebration ended as the evil one easily broken free and easily absorbed the skin chunk into her body. D-Reaper and the others looked on with shocked looks on their faces.
***************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe. Buddamon's Domain
Buddamon looked on with shock as he felt the presence of the two D-Reapers and he turns his attention over to Imperialdramon and War Angemon.
"Takeru! Daisuke! I just read the kis of the two Reapers. It seems that the evil counterpart has inherited all of D-Reaper's powers, leaving the other one at a huge disadvantage. We have to continue our training elsewhere. This way!"
Buddamon quickly opens a portal leading them through a dimension to the real world. Buddamon goes running in first.
"There's no time to waste! We have to get this fusion training complete!"
The warriors nodded as they went ahead to follow Buddamon through the portal. They would have to get the training done as soon as possible before something terrible happens.
"Great! And we just got told about this now? Why weren't we informed beforehand?"TK pondered to himself in War Angemon's thoughts.
***************************************************************************************
Digital World
The two D-Reapers faced each other off in the skies above and gave each other intense glares. D-Reaper doesn't seem to be doing very well at the moment and goes powering up a ki blast from her hands. The evil one also created her own ki blast. They faced each other and quickly sends out the ki blasts right at each other.
As soon as the two beams nail each other, a large explosion occurs which knows both D-Reapers back. But it seems as though that the evil one's blast was more powerful, and the other D-Reaper was sent plummeting to the ground. The evil one goes landing on the ground with a evil grin on her face.
"Dee!"
"D-Reaper!"
Mummymon and Black Gatomon watched in horror as the evil one landed down on the ground and waits for her adversary to get up. D-reaper goes sitting up from the crater and flips right in front of the evil one. Her eyes were fuming with a crimson glow.
"You made me mad! Now I'm going to delete you and absorb your being!"
But just as she was about to do so, the evil one held out her hand and shoots out a beam that quickly electrocutes the D-Reaper. Black Gatomon gasps and goes to try to save her but Mummymon held him back.
"Dee! No!"
With that said, the evil one turns in a lifeless puddle and flows underneath the legs of D-Reaper. She looks down and screams as the evil one started to rise up and engulf her being.
"No! What are you doing to me?!"
"I'm absorbing you. Your original being shall now be apart of me," the evil one said with a rather borg-like tone of voice.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon watched in dismay at what they were looking at. The evil one started to take shape with the D-Reaper within her body. D-Reaper's metamorphosis was now beginning to take place. Suddenly, there was red steam coming out from her head and arms, creating a thick cloud surrounding her. As soon as it dissipates, a new D-Reaper was formed. But this one was pure evil with no traces of innocence on the outside. She almost looks like the combination of the two D-Reapers. Only this time, the feature of the single being was different.
The body of the D-Reaper had a rather muscular appearance. Her skin was still red much like the D-Reaper. Her eyes were still illuminating a misty, purple glow. But now her gloves and her school skirt was now replaced by armored tank top and a pair of white pants with a belt-buckle reading with the 'D' insignia on the center.
Now Mummymon was more than confused and frightened as ever. His best friend was now transformed into some sort of monster. He watches as the new D-Reaper hunches over and powers up, sending both himself and Black Gatomon flying back. Her screams were still high-pitched as ever as the ground around her started to save into a form of a large crater. The energy around her sent shockwaves throughout the landscape.
****************************************************************************************
Digital Gateway to Real World
Buddamon stopped at his tracks as he felt the new surge of evil energy that was erupting from within the digital world. War Angemon and Imperialdramon could also feel the frightening ki, as they stood frozen.
"My goddramon! What a terrifying power! It has to be the D-Reaper! She's reached her true form!"
"What true form?" asked War Angemon, "You mean that other form was a false?!"
"That's exactly what I'm saying. This is the true D-Reaper! We are in serious shit now."
The two fusion warriors gasped as their eyes widened in disbelief. They knew how powerful the 'false' D-Reaper was but would never imagine how much stronger the real D-Reaper is. Its power was enough to even destroy the whole digital world with just its mere presence.
****************************************************************************************
Outside of the Digital Universe. Planet Shin.
While Angewomon was still in the process of being powered up by Gosenzomon, Agumon and Shintomon turned as they felt a tremendous power coming from the digital world. They had looks of terror on their faces. Tai and Kari took notice and were beginning to become worried.
"What's going on, Shintomon? Is there something wrong?" asked Tai.
"This is terrible! Just terrible!"
"What is it?" Kari asked, "It couldn't be that too would it?"
"It's much worse than that. It seems the D-Reaper has reached its true power," Shintomon said.
Angewomon growls and turns her attention back over to Gosenzomon with an angry look.
"Look! Can you just hurry it up?! We don't have all day! For all we know the D-Reaper could start its path of destruction once again!"
"Patience, young one. You're still not at full power. We still have eighteen hours to go. It will pay off, I can assure you that. Then you will destroy the D-Reaper when it is all said and done."
Angewomon gives him a dark look, but eventually gives in and continues to receive her power-up. Would it eventually pay off like Gosenzomon just said, only time would tell. But there was not enough time with the D-Reaper already at her true form.
"Tai! Can you hear me? It's me, X."
"Loud and clear. What are you able to pick up from the digital world?"
"It's been a terrible few days. The evil within the D-Reaper has been released, because of some unexpected circumstances. Not only that but the D-Reaper chaos has entered the real world. To add it up, Demon's brother has found his way into Shinjuku and has complete control of the chaos mass. He's basically responsible for these turn of events."
"What? You mean he's the cause of this?! But shouldn't the Tamers and the others handle it?"
"Not with the chaos spreading. Demon had this well-planned out. He even threw me off track! Angewomon better hurry with that power-up process!"
"Can we even trust this old geezer?"
"It will benefit Celesta X, so yes. Buddamon is moving TK and Davis to the real world as we speak. There, they'll continue training and when they're ready they'll face the evil D-Reaper entity in the digital world. We'll see how everything plays out from here. Just pray that the D-Reaper shit doesn't spread than it already has."
"Talk about a triple threat crisis on our hands! Demon just had to come at the wrong time! Hurry up, Gosenzomon. Time is running out."
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku.
The soldiers walked over towards an alleyway as they spotted what looked like a flock of giant vulture-like creatures hanging on the walls of nearby apartments. A sigh of relief came across the soldiers as they placed their weapons down.
"Oh good. They're just sitting there. Move out men. This is no threat," the commander ordered.
But just as he gave orders, the bird-creatures started to react as their eyes started to glow red and they shared the same screams as the D-Reaper from the digital world.
"Men! Move out! Move out!"
The creatures started to fly up into the skies in the form of flocks as the army started firing away at them. It seems as though some sort of cords attached to them from behind connected these creatures. But the source of where they were connected to was obvious. They were connected to the chaos mass itself. These creatures also had a designated code name as said on their side stomachs as it read 'ADR-02'.
Suddenly, even the chaos mass was starting to glow red and was feeding from the anger that was building up inside of the D-Reaper being in the digital world.
Ken, Ryo, Monodramon and Wormmon looked from a window in a nearby building as Wormmon was looking angrily over towards the flock of ADRs in the skies.
"That mass is spreading," Ryo stated. "I can't imagine how much the D-Reaper will spread within a week."
"Let's not think about it, Ryo," Monodramon replied.
"Ken, the D-Reaper is getting stronger in the digital world for some odd reason. The energy I'm sensing from it is dark and corruptive. It looks like we're dealing with a new and improved D-Reaper. The other one we faced was the false version. This is the real deal…"
"Then, we're seriously in trouble…"
Wormmon turns his attention over towards Monodramon and felt a disturbing vibe from the tiny reptile.
"What am I sensing from Monodramon? Maybe I'm just a little paranoid from this D-Reaper, but I can't help but to find out a little more on this guy."
***************************************************************************************
Digital World
Mummymon and Black Gatomon sat from up the ground. They gazed up at what they saw was a frightening looking creature. D-Reaper stands over with them with a cruel, twisted smile across her face and bearing a pair of sharp canine teeth.
Now that the two worlds have sensed the power of the real D-Reaper, can our heroes stop the monster before the chaos mass expands and the ADR army destroys the city of Shinjuku. There are two worlds at stake and only one way to save them, defeat the D-Reaper!

Mummymon: Dee?! Is that you?!
D-Reaper: Ra! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Demon: It's all going according to my plan. Those two hunters should have inflicted some form of emotional distress to force the D-Reaper to unleash her wrath! Yes, I feel her presence. She's ready to attack!
Ken: You guys! This isn't looking good! Now armies of creatures are spreading across the city!
Buddamon: We have to relocate ourselves out of here and onto Earth. I've provided a time chamber, similar to Azulongmon's. What?! D-Reaper is able to break through dimensions?!
D-Reaper: Time for me to clean up this mess… Now bring me the warrior I was promised.
Takato: We'll fight these things off! I promised Tai that I would not let him down and I'm not backing down from that promise. I'm a young man of my word.
Guilmon: Let's not let him down!
War Dramon: Hello, D-Reaper! At last, we meet. I'm that warrior you've been searching for.
D-Reaper: You?!
War Dramon: let's get ready to rumble!

SSJ4T: Now, we're getting down to business! The D-Reaper mutates into her darker form! Thanks to a little help from Demon.
Max: Let's see if War Dramon is up to the challenge.
SSJ4T: That confrontation between Ken and Ryo was pretty interesting. I had to throw that in there. Maybe, we'll see some hints to Millenniummon.
Max: I don't like Ryo personally, but his past with Ken is pretty interesting. I've got to research a little more on Millenniummon.
SSJ4T: Well, get on the game. I've already researched this conflict a year ago. It is a very confusing storyline, but a very interesting read. Anyway, I'll let you readers research more on Millenniummon, but I'm aware some of you already know. Until then, be here for more digital action! D-Reaper has finally transformed into her true evil entity.
Max: I'll finish this off. Peace out!

[Digimon Tamers Opening theme "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
The D-Reaper's New Challenger: War Dramon! Beelzebumon's Revival?!
Digital World
The landscape was barren and the forest was as quiet as ever, however, that still doesn't mean that peace will come. Because has not come yet. The terror has just begun and the D-Reaper has now taken a new, evil form. Its evil presence was bringing fear down the spines of every other digimon that were unable to challenge its power.
[Doom "Waltz of the Demons" plays]
Mummymon and Black Gatomon stare aghast over to the new and improved evil D-Reaper with widened eyes and gaping mouths. Deputymon manages to take a peek and was shocked at what he was seeing before him. D-Reaper looks over and notices the Deputymon, who was the partner for the Gazimon. He goes running away, but that didn't stop D-Reaper from holding back her power.
Deputymon reached over to the top of the cliff and began firing away devastating bullets at the ever-so powerful being. D-Reaper was unaffected as she stood motionless and looked over her bullet wounds. Each of them quickly healed with ease. Deputymon looked on with a terrified look on his face.
D-Reaper starts laughing evilly which brought fear down the spines of both Mummymon and Black Gatomon. It also managed to frighten Deputymon. Just then, she plants her feet onto the floor and holds out her arm. She sends her arm shooting out as if it were a grappling hook and manages to wrap it tightly around Deputymon, who was too vulnerable to dodge or even escape it. She cries out and sends energy through her arm, which was sent directly to the Deputymon and caused him to explode into data. D-Reaper then starts to absorb the last remaining data of Deputymon and felt her power increasing after that.
Mummymon holds onto Black Gatomon and looked on with terror across his face. Now he had just lost his friend and has witnessed the birth of a terrifying monster.
"Oh no. Please don't let her see me. Please don't let her see me. I'm going to die…"
D-Reaper quickly averts her attention over to Mummymon and this made him jump back with fear. D-Reaper turned all the way around to face him. A cruel smile comes across her face as she slowly starts approaching him.
"No! Please! Don't kill me! I've helped you! We were playing! We were having fun! Please, don't kill me."
"Same goes for me. You healed my eyes. I could never want you to kill me, either. We're your friends, Dee."
D-Reaper grins and goes charging down right over towards the two. Mummymon and Black Gatomon held onto each other as they cried out. But just as she was about to reach over to them, D-Reaper stops with a confused look on her face and goes hovering up into the air above.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon both gazed up and cowered behind a large rock. They never felt so afraid in their lives, and their biggest fear was towards a 'friend' of theirs. As soon as they closed their eyes, they opened them once again and looked up to see no traces of the D-Reaper. She had simply vanished. Mummymon slowly sits up and looks around in shock.
"Where did Dee go?"
"I have no idea. But it looks like she was got scared of me and flew off because she knew I would kick her no good butt!"
As soon as he said this, he looks up and saw D-Reaper again. Mummymon screams out and goes falling back on his behind. A smile comes across D-Reaper's face as she examined the two 'friends' of hers.
"You heard me?! Please don't tell me that you heard me?" Mummymon asked in plead.
D-Reaper continues to glare right down at Mummymon and Black Gatomon with a rather, great deal of interest. She then began to mutter something under her breath.
"Mummymon… Kitty cat…"
After that, D-Reaper looked over to another direction as she flies off in the speed of light. Mummymon and Black Gatomon watched on from the horizon while watching D-Reaper heading over to the southern quadrant of the digital world. It seems a as though that the D-Reaper had retained some of her sympathy for both Mummymon and Black Gatomon. Her memories as the previous D-Reaper were quickly coming back to her.
As soon as D-Reaper went flying off into the distance, Mummymon and Black Gatomon both fell on their behinds as they began to think of everything that had occurred. Mummymon quickly sighed a relief, but Black Gatomon looked on with a sad look on her face.
"Oh, Dee. What's happened to you?"
Far away from the distance, D-Reaper was jetting over throughout the digital world and laughing maniacially. She looked over and sensed several kis transporting themselves out from the Digital World. She immediately picked up their locations from the real world. Those kis belonged to none other than Imperialdramon, War Angemon and Buddamon. Her chance of fighting War Dramon in a possible showdown would come into fruition.
She forces out a loud scream, which easily created a hole within the digital world's dimensional fabric barrier. She flies through the gap and finds herself in a mountainous region on earth. It seemed to be many miles away from Shinjuku. In fact, she was outside of Hokkaido.
"I sense them! They're within this region! Ah-ha! Ha! Ha!"
**************************************************************************************
Earth. East Shinjuku. Abandoned Warehouse
The demon horde witnessed the entire D-Reaper transformation through Demon's viewing orb. The demon lord was pleased with the results. Now, phase two of his operation was set into play.
"Yes, the evil within D-Reaper has been released. I really wished those two bounty hunter's lives didn't go to waste. Not that it matters to me anymore."
"So, she's found her way into the real world? But how is…"
"Possible? The D-Reaper was able to transcend many dimensions during her destructive glory days. She went out of her way and destroyed many digital worlds."
"Wow, so she could possibly destroy earth if she wanted to?" Cymbalmon asked.
"Yes, but it seems that she seeks for the challenger that warrior had promised her. Yes, I can foretell the identity of this new warrior."
"I see. So where do we go from here? The D-Reaper will find her challenger, but what will we do with the mass within the city?"
"We shall see how everything will play out. I doubt those children will do anything to stop the agents. I've supplied each of them with my own essence. They'll be having quite a hard time. I understand that three of the children's digimon are unable to transcend into their mega forms. So, the advantage goes to my agents."
"What shall we do to please thee?" Tambourinemon asked.
"Nothing at the moment. I will send you two out when the situation gets hasty. Thought, I doubt my agents will fail me."
"Yes, agreed sire!"
"Though, I wonder. That boy with the Monodramon. When I checked him and that young man out, there was a powerful ki coming from that Monodramon. I've felt it somewhere before. Is it who I think it is? I better keep my eye on that creature. He might intervene and destroy my plans. I can't allow any interference when I'm close to world domination. I will not allow it!"
With that said, Demon clenched his fist and a dark aura forms around the boastful demon lord.
*************************************************************************************
Outside the Hokkaido region. Deserted Mountainous regions
Unaware of what was now going to occur, Buddamon stopped and looked ahead at a flashing light heading their way. War Angemon and Imperialdramon both stopped as they felt the rather dangerously high ki.
"It's her!"
"The D-Reaper! I can sense a terrible anger boiling up form within her," said War Angemon, "Its just as we feared."
"The D-Reaper? She's reached a new form."
"Look out!" exclaimed Buddamon as he pointed ahead.
They looked up to where Buddamon was pointing. A flash of light goes appearing onto a nearby cliff and then phases onto another neighboring cliff. They heard maniacal laughter. They turned their heads in attempt to follow D-Reaper's every single movement. As soon as they were about to look down, D-Reaper was already standing before them. War Angemon and Imperialdramon stood their ground as Buddamon faced off against the D-Reaper.
The psychotic monster grins at them and chuckles gleefully. The three only managed to stare up at the D-Reaper in dismay, expecting her to attack them. The two fusion warriors quickly got into fighting stances as they prepared to face off against the evil D-Reaper.
**************************************************************************************
West Shinjuku.
It was sunset in the city of West Shinjuku, but that wouldn't stop the team of Takato and Guilmon from beginning their mission to locate the source of the D-Reaper. They stood at their favorite hiding spot besides the park, the underground water tunnel.
"So, Guilmon. Are you ready for a perilous adventure?"
"Ready whenever you are. This tunnel lead throughout most of the city underground."
"Yeah and we can cover more ground this way."
"Ready whenever you are."
"Ok, ok. Let's go."
"Hey goggle head!"
The two stopped as they looked up to see two familiar figures standing on top of the bridge and looking down upon them. One individual was a red-haired girl with a full-heart shirt and the other a neon-colored vulpine. Smiles come across the faces of both Takato and Guilmon.
"Rika! Hey! What a surprise! I thought you wouldn't make it here."
"I kind of surprised myself too. So, are you two planning on going down that tunnel too?"
"Um, well. Yeah. We'll cover more ground like this. Besides it's our favorite hiding spot… Hey! Don't tell me that you're coming down with us to find the source of the D-Reaper."
A smile forms across the face of the digimon queen as she took off her jacket.
"Guilty!"
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get down here so that we can get this started."
"Hey guys! Hold on!"
The two Tamers turned to find the source of the voice and looked over to a boy riding on a bicycle. A noticeable dog bunny waved over towards them.
"You're not planning on going without us are ya?" Terriermon asked. "That would not make my day."
"Hurry up, Henry! We don't have all day!" Rika cried, "If we can get through this tunnel."
"Same old tunnel, huh?" Henry said as he hopped off his bike.
The three Tamers got together as they started heading into the tunnel along with their digimon. What they hated most about this underground tunnel was that it took a very long time as far as covering a long distance was concerned. Just as they were walking through, Takato looked over at Rika and noticed her new shirt. As soon as she eyeballed him, he turns away.
"What are you looking at, goggle head?"
"Oh nothing…"
"Mmhmm…"
"You know something this D-Reaper is going to be tough," Henry said, "After we found out that there were two separate entities to the D-Reaper, I was choked. I couldn't believe it."
"Don't worry. While the others are taking care of one D-Reaper, we'll do what we can to sent the yucky chaos back to the sewers that it came crawling out of," Terriermon remarked, "Wait till they get a load of me!"
"Terriermon, this isn't the time to underestimate our enemy, even if it is slime from the Ghostbusters movie. If it scares the sovereigns, then it should be something we must worry about."
"Aww, that means we still can't kick its butt, if it has one?"
"Renamon is right. This D-Reaper is not a pushover. It's going to take a lot from us to stop it, even if it means killing ourselves," Guilmon said.
"Why thank you for actually agreeing with me, Guilmon."
Takato looks back over to Rika again and notices the full-shaped heart on her shirt. The girl looks at him and gives me a glare. Takato turns away with a smirk.
"Well, what?!"
"Nothing. I mean it."
"Um, what's going on here?" Henry asked himself.
"C'mon, spit it out. You had something to say that came across your mind. Just say something."
"Ok, if you want my honest opinion. I just wanted to say what a lovely shirt you got."
As soon as he said, Rika turns away with a slight blush on her face. Takato fakes a smile and turns away.
"Takatomon, why is your face all red? Are you sick?"
"No, Guilmon. I'm not sick. Lets just keep moving."
"Good idea, Takato. Lets just keep moving on and not say another word," Henry said to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Another side of Shinjuku
Ken was looking out through his apartment window. It's been hours since he met up with Ryo. He was shocked to know that the boy looked just like another boy he met many years ago. The strange coincidence was the fact that this boy was also named Ryo Akiyama.
"No it has to be a coincidence. I'm in my early twenties and this boy is almost a teen. It doesn't make sense."
"Ken, what's wrong?" Wormmon asked.
"It's nothing really."
"Then, why do you look so pale all of a sudden?"
"I'm just still overcoming the shock over the sudden appearance of the D-Reaper mass. When we were in the Digital World, it was merely bubbles. Deadly bubbles, but still tiny bubbles. What makes it so dangerous is that it will delete anything it touches."
"Only digital life it can delete."
"Yes, which is why it makes it difficult for us to attack it."
"We just have to be extra careful."
"Mmhmm."
"Ken. Is there something wrong?" Ryo asked as he came walking out from the bathroom.
"No. It's nothing."
"I've been thinking back to the questions you asked me."
"Yes?"
"Well, it's funny. I could have sworn to seen a person like you from my past. But, I just don't recall any event like that. It's still a fuzzy memory to me."
"It's understood. Though, I'm interested to know how you actually arrived in that alternate digital world."
"All I recall was that I found myself in that world. I don't remember anything before hand. Eventually, I met Monodramon and he became my partner. After he digivolved into Cyberdramon, he's been an uncontrollable animal. I've had to crack the whip on him so to speak. Lately, he's been obedient since the D-Reaper was reawakened by Magimon. I guess even he was smart to challenge the D-Reaper's unpredictable ferocity."
"There's no telling what that creature is up to. I'm just glad we got out of there in short peace."
Monodramon faced the window with Wormmon at his side. The digimon kept an eye on the ever growing D-Reaper mass. A low growl came from Monodramon, which didn't suite well for Wormmon.
"D-Reaper. She's found her way into the real world," Monodramon thought. "How fortunate…"
**************************************************************************************
Hokkaido
Buddamon and the two fighters stood frozen in fear as they were looking right up in the face of the monster, D-Reaper. D-Reaper grins right down at them.
"I'm sensing an overwhelming ki from this monster," said Buddamon, "Don't you two feel it?"
"Yeah. It's a horrifying power. I never knew the D-Reaper could get this powerful," said War Angemon.
"Are there any limitations to the D-Reaper's power?"
"There's no way we're going to beat it now! Even if we try to challenge it, we will just end up getting ourselves killed," said War Angemon.
"He's right. We're just going to get our asses handed to us," replied Imperialdramon, "Plus, that bitch nearly killed Kari!"
"I know. You two stay behind me," Buddamon said, "Let's just see what she wants."
D-Reaper stood there frozen for a few moments, but then breaks up the silence as she speaks up again.
"Bring them out here. The mouthy one standing behind you."
"Who you calling mouthy?!" Imperialdramon exclaimed.
Buddamon stands there not giving a response to D-Reaper as he puts out his arms in front of both Imperialdramon and War Angemon. D-Reaper peers right over towards Imperialdramon with a gleeful smirk on her face. Imperialdramon growls under his breath. D-Reaper screams out in response. The warriors braced themselves from the energy that she was sending out from the force she sent through her scream.
"Bring them out here! If you want, you can give me the mouthy one now."
"Tell me the fighters you're referring to, besides the mouthy one standing behind me," Buddamon said.
"Ugh, what does everyone think I have such a big mouth?" Imperialdramon pondered.
"Because you never keep anything to yourself, Davis!" War Angemon responded.
"I also want Celesta X, Dinobeemon and the one named Renamon. I was supposed to face all of them since I sensed a large number of ki here. I only see one of them. That angel warrior standing with the mouthy one is no concern for me and neither are you, higher power."
"Whoa! She's able to zero in at certain ki without even looking for those individuals," War Angemon said, "What kind of a freakish monster is she?"
"I'm not going to tell you for the last time," replied D-Reaper, "Bring me the warrior. That fused warrior by the name of Omega X told me about this mystery fighter."
"Celesta X is not here. She's training at the moment. Only these two boys are available now."
"Higher power, I'm demanding you to bring that girl to me and group her with these two boys. I might spare you of your life."
"Listen, I'm not sure these boys, or Hikari for that matter, are even at full power just yet. Celesta X is still training to reach her strongest form. You will just have to wait until then. Can't you wait?"
"No, my patience has now already worn thin. Besides, I don't want to wait any longer. I hate waiting."
"But the battles weren't supposed to take place until tomorrow, remember?"
"But I have lost my patience and I want to fight them now. That Celesta X girl will come to me. Let me fight her. At least, I can get a decent warm up with her. Let her go and face me. Maybe this time, I'll rearrange that pretty little face of hers."
Imperialdramon was taken back by this and tried to get his hands on D-Reaper, but War Angemon was there to hold him back. D-Reaper simply smiles and pops her knuckles.
"This bitch isn't going to lay one finger on Kari!" Imperialdramon growled.
"Calm yourself, Davis. We'll bring this freak down," War Angemon replied.
Buddamon began thinking for a moment and had to make a desperation move attempt before letting the two warriors to attack D-Reaper head on.
"I've got to do something to keep the D-Reaper distracted until then. What's one thing that really sets her off? Ha! I got it."
D-Reaper tilts her head as she looked over to Buddamon with a questionable look across her face.
"D-Reaper! I can sense many digimon over in the eastern section! You opened a dimensional doorway out of the digital world. So, you're able to gain access to the digital world at any time. You can travel through dimensions. Shintomon warned me beforehand that you were able to pull such a feat. There you can amuse yourself by destroying those digimon and loading their data! C'mon, you enjoy destruction! You enjoy putting digimon through hell. Go and begin another destructive rampage!"
"Huh?! Buddamon, what the hell are you thinking?!" War Angemon exclaimed, "You're just going to let her kill more digimon?!"
"There has to be another way," Imperialdramon replied.
"You two are not strong enough yet. You have yet to converse more of your energy before performing the fusion technique. This is the only choice that we have."
"So, it's more death and destruction you want? Ok. You shall receive, higher power. Just watch me. I'm not going to hold back like my naive, child counterpart."
D-Reaper looks off to the center of the desolate landscape and gazed up to the skies. She produces a sonic scream, which easily shattered the mountains into grounded dirt. The trio covered their ears to prevent themselves from going deaf. The skies started to turn dark and a fabric barrier is opened up into the alternate digital world. The three individuals watched her apprehensively, and Buddamon angrily realized that D-Reaper wasn't going to hold back as far as killing off the remaining digimon populations in the new digital world. That would also possibly include the sovereigns.
"Takeru, take Daisuke into the time chamber. There's a portal I formed behind you. Go and allow him to get as much training done as possible. Hurry!"
"Gotcha!"
"I am sorry about allowing D-Reaper killing the remaining digimon. We can revive them with the help of the sovereigns. D-Reaper won't kill them off until she sees fit. She acquires their power for a later use."
"Good thinking. Good luck, Buddamon."
"Hurry! There's no time to waste."
"Lets go, Davis. To the portal. Buddamon provided it for us. There's a time chamber. Just like the one myself, my brother, Kari and Tai entered seven years ago."
"Good. Lets go!"
As soon as they said that, the two warriors enter the portal long enough before it closed up. Buddamon keeps his attention on D-Reaper, who walks around the landscape and leaving dents to the ground that she was walking on.
She stops and approaches Buddamon, standing silently in front of him for a few moments. She smirks and holds out a hand above her head. Buddamon watches in fear as she creates hundred of small streams of energy that streak down through the torn hole through the dimensional fabric barrier. These blasts would ultimately find themselves in the alternate digital world. The blasts were just as beautiful as fireworks on Fourth of July, but these weren't just fireworks.
They start sweeping into a nearby digimon city and began piercing through many digimon's chests. Screams and cries of pain were echoing throughout the digital world. Buddamon felt chills coming down his spine after hearing the painful cries and couldn't bear to hear them anymore.
There were many red spirals of energy raining down on throughout the digital world, stabbing through many digimon's chests and killing them.
*************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within Shinjuku
Monodramon and Wormmon felt the destructive ki coming from the D-Reaper herself. They felt the pain and anguish from each of the digimon victims.
"Ken!"
"Ryo!"
"What is it?!"
"It's horrible," Wormmon said. "That digital world we left has lost its entire digimon population. Only a few remained alive. The D-Reaper has already wiped them out."
"It can't be!" Ken exclaimed.
"We were too late to even get a chance to save them," Ryo muttered. "Damn that monster!"
*************************************************************************************
Well, Monodramon and Wormmon weren't the only digimon to have felt the devastating power from the D-Reaper. Hawkmon and Palmon could also feel it.
"Yolei! I feel a great destructive power coming from outside Shinjuku!"
"Is it Demon?"
"No! This ki is darker and stronger than that of Demon," Palmon replied. "Mimi! This must be the enemy that Tai and the others faced. It has to be the D-Reaper Ken told us about!"
"But, how was it able to crossover to our world?"
"It couldn't have used a Digi-port, since this digital world is different from ours," Palmon stated. "That's got to be it!"
"Oh, no. We've got to find the others!" Yolei exclaimed. "If it's the D-Reaper monster itself, then we're definitely going to have to get ourselves ready!"
*************************************************************************************
Biyomon felt the same increasing ki. She looks over to Sora and grabs her attention.
"Nap time over, Sora!"
"Biyo…Biyomon, what now?"
"It's the D-Reaper monster. I just felt a number of dying kis. D-Reaper has found itself into the real world!"
"What? Shouldn't that blob mass outside the city be the D-Reaper?!"
"No, there's another and I'm not lying when I'm telling you this! The real monster has found it's way here in the real world."
"You're kidding! Where the hell are Tai, TK, Davis and Kari?! We should at least get some help when we need it!"
**************************************************************************************
Pikkan looks out towards the distance and heard every cry from each dying digimon, one after the other. This only brought sudden anger to his heart. He could care less for humans, yet the sound of innocent digimon's anguish makes him fume.
"Bastard… You're not going to get away with that…"
**************************************************************************************
Leomon could hardly contain himself. Like Pikkan, he was able to listen to every anguish call. Jeri and Calumon took notice to the warrior's sadness.
"Leomon?"
"D-Reaper's actually done it! Not only was she able to break through the dimensions, but she's wiped out the entire digital race from the digital world we've recently departed! All except the Sovereigns and a few others… I can't tell who these other survivors are, but I'm relieved that they managed to find means to overcome the D-Reaper's destructive power."
"D-Reaper's found herself into the real world?!"
"Not good at all!" Calumon replied.
"I swear to the grave of my fallen comrades, I will not let this crime go unpunished."
Leomon clenched his fists, as a drop of data came pouring down his hand. Like so many others, there was nothing he could have done to stop the carnage. If he had intervened, he would have most likely perished against the D-Reaper's destructive blasts."
*************************************************************************************
Takato, Rika and Henry froze as their partners stood frozen. Guilmon's eyes became viral as he growled under his breath. Renamon and Terriermon's fur stuck straight up on their backs.
"Guilmon?"
"Terriermon?"
"What's going on, Renamon?"
"The monster has finally found it's way into the real world," Renamon replied.
"What?! It's way it's way here?! Shouldn't we do something?!" Takato frantically asked.
"We have another mission. We have to scope out the situation in Shinjuku. We're deal with two portions of the D-Reaper," Henry said. "If we send our digimon to intervene with the D-Reaper, it will delete them and absorb their data."
"Takatomon? Surely, you don't want to risk it?"
"I can't risk it. Henry's right. I'm sure the others have this well-scouted. We have to investigate our own home city. We can't let this mass continue to grow. I promised Tai that I wouldn't let him down and I'm not about to break that promise. I'll be as good as a leader as he is. Maybe, I can even become better than him."
"Takato…" Rika muttered.
"Now, that's a motivational speech, Takatomon!" Terriermon remarked. "I'm with Takato all the way! We're here to clean up the filth in your hometown!"
"He's right. We have our families to protect, plus we're able to bio-merge with our digimon. D-Reaper better watch out for the trio of Gallantmon, Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon," Takato replied.
The children nodded, as did their partner digimon. They continued their way through the tunnel despite the sudden appearance of the D-Reaper monster in their own world. They had confidence that one of Tai's comrades will combat this monster and allow them time to combat against the D-Reaper mass itself.
"I will become as good as a leader as you, Tai. I look up to you and now I'll make my dreams come true."
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, a familiar black-haired young man felt the monster's great power. The young man turned out to be none other than Artificial Jax. He was one of Virus' former victims, but was revived to live a normal life. Even though he remains an artificial, he's managed to use these last seven years as a form of retirement.
"So, it looks like we've got ourselves a guest," Jax stated. "This ki is overwhelming. It even beats the pants off of creep Virus'. Whew, thank god I'm not a digimon. I don't have to get worried about being deleted. I sure hope my sis isn't taking this lying down."
*************************************************************************************
Fortunately for Jax, his sister was certainly not taking this lying down. She hasn't heard a single word from his husband, Davis. It's been eating away at her. However, she remained tough and wouldn't let the D-Reaper's threat frighten her.
"Davis. I know you'll be back. We'll defeat this monster and live our lives happily. Just you wait and see."
**************************************************************************************
Joe and Gomamon were heading out towards the safer sections of Shinjuku. They had just called Mimi and Yolei to tell them about his whereabouts.
"Ok, Gomamon. I've already told them about our whereabouts. We should meet up with them somewhere. The park! We'll meet them over at the park."
"Good idea. I could use a little strolling in the park."
"There's no time for another joke session, buddy. Unless you like to joke at a crisis like this!"
Suddenly, Gomamon felt that same terrifying power. That same power came from the D-Reaper's wave of destruction.
"So, it has finally arrived in our dimension? Shoot, I forget to bring my fighting gear."
"Earth to Gomamon!"
"Huh?"
"Just, what are you thinking?!"
"About the time I beat you three times straight in Black Jack and Poker."
"Oh brother… You need to get on with the program."
*************************************************************************************
D-Reaper finally ceases her attacks as a truckload of data came flowing over towards her. Buddamon kneels on one knee and cries out angrily. He began cursing the monster under his breath. D-Reaper stands as the data was floating around her and entering her body, supplying her with plentiful energy.
"I swear you're going to pay, D-Reaper! I'll have the sovereigns restore every digimon to life using the power of the digicores!"
"I call it the Digimon Extinction Attack. It's too bad. Every digital life form, excluding the sovereigns, are dead. I have each and one of their data. Bring the warrior to me."
"Please! Just one more hour!"
"Long how is that?"
Buddamon holds out his hand and a small hourglass appears in his palm. D-Reaper overlooks it and watches as the sand drops slowly. She growled and angrily stood up crossing her arms.
"Bah! I don't want to wait that damn long!"
"Please!"
"Fine! But if they don't come out and face me in an hour, I'll kill you and the sovereigns on the spot."
"Agreed."
D-Reaper crouches down onto the ground and watches in anticipation for the hourglass to fill up as quickly as possible. Buddamon stood his ground and looks back at the invisible vortex.
"Train as hard as you can. The fate of the digital worlds lies in our hands, Takeru. Daisuke."

West Shinjuku.
[Doom "Suspense" plays]
As soon as the Tamer trio found the exit through the tunnelways, the digimon felt an upcoming presence from their right side.
"Guilmon?"
"Takatomon. There's somebody heading our way."
"Who?"
"Hmm, no worries guys," Terriermon stated. "It's just good ol' Ankylomon!"
"Ankylomon?" Rika asked. "Then, he and Cody walked all the way through the tunnels all the way from Odaiba?!"
"You hit the nail right on the head," the armored reptile calls out.
Stepping out from the shadows comes a friendly face with an armored back. Ankylomon was walking by with Cody on his back.
"Oh, hi there, Tamers! I guess you decided to the take the fast lane," Cody remarked.
"You could say that," Henry replied.
"We're going out through that door to investigate. We believe the D-Reaper mass is spreading more by the hour," said Renamon.
"We've been walking through this tunnel all morning! I'm glad we decided to have me sprint half the way through here. At least, I'll burn off some of that cholesterol," Ankylomon stated.
"So, are you guys ready?" Takato asked.
Everyone nodded as Takato lead them through the ever so long underground water tunnel. Takato opened the door entrance and walked out with the others tagging along behind him. Guilmon and the digimon stepped out as they gazed up into the skies.
It was already nightfall and there were explosions in the skies. But they weren't apart of fireworks. They were military weapons being fired away at what looked like a strange bird of some sorts.
"Hey! What's that thing up there?" asked Takato.
"It sure doesn't look like fireworks you put out for the Fourth of July," Cody remarked.
"Don't tell me that the military are starting to battle the chaos already! They should know that they won't win," said Henry.
"They're too gung-ho to even use their heads," Ankylomon replied.
"Its rather pointless for them to use military weapons. They know that there's no possible way of breaking through the chaos barrier," Renamon stated.
"What are those birds up there?" Rika asked pointing up to the skies.
The Tamers looked up and noticed several bird-like creatures dancing through the skies, while doing their best to avoid every gun shell being fired away at them. The majority of them looked like the birds that the soldiers encountered earlier ago, those being the ADR-02s. But there was one that looked like it had an umbrella for a head and a small head at the very top of it. It was equipped with two scythes. This was ADR-03, because it's side was designated with the ensign a. Much like the others, a cord also connected it.
"The D-Reaper's chaos is surrounding Hypnos," said Henry, "Take a look!"
The Tamers gasped at how much ground the chaos had already covered. It seemed that it covered more ground with each hour passing. The digimon viewed broken streams of light flashing through the night skies. Then they all stopped as several shadows came into view from within the darkness.
"Just what are those?" asked Takato.
"I don't know but they look like some really weird-looking birds," said Henry.
"Are those things somehow connected with this blob?" Cody pondered.
The creatures that came into view were the very first ADRS the Tamers have encountered. ADR-02, to be more precise. The digimon stood in front of the Tamers and began picking up very strong kis from the ADRs.
"What are they? Are they digimon?" asked Henry.
"I don't think so. Otherwise I would know," said Terriermon.
"Well, they sure aren't the first robins or spring. That's for sure," Ankylomon stated.
The ADRs simply stared at the group with rather ghostly faces that showed absolute no emotion, whatsoever.
"They must be some sorts of spawns of the D-Reaper. Think of them as scouts watching over their territory," explained Renamon.
"Are you sure they're not here just to creep us out? Because they're doing a really good job of that," said Rika.
Guilmon goes over and reaches out for the beak of one of the ADRs. But Takato quickly took notice and slaps Guilmon's hand away.
"Guilmon! Don't touch it! If that thing is apart of the D-Reaper, then you'll be deleted!"
"Um, guys. Don't you think there's something wrong with this picture?" asked Henry.
Suddenly, there were more ADR-02s coming out from within the darkness. The Tamers and the digimon looked over at each other and sweat drops came down their faces.
"Don't you think this is a good time to run and come up with a plan of strategy?" asked Takato.
They all nodded and started to head out towards the other direction. All were gone except Guilmon, who decided to stay behind to stare at the ADRs.
"Guilmon! What are you doing?!"
"Staring contest," Guilmon said.
Takato rushes by and snatches Guilmon by the arm. They went running off.
"But I was winning!"
"Don't worry. You would have lost anyway!" Ankylomon cries out while carrying Cody on his back.
The ADRS all turned to face them but remained within their positions to scout the area.
"Where do you think we should be heading off to?" asked Rika.
"Well, you won't know until we look for a place. How about the sewers! Now that's a lovely place to hide out in!" exclaimed Terriermon.
"No! I just got the perfect place! At Kari's apartment home! I'm willing to bet that one of her friends is there. They would also know about the D-Reaper threat."
Takato led the group over towards another direction as they headed out to the apartment complex where Kari lives. There they would meet up with the remaining Digi-Destined and plan out a new strategy.
"I just hope they are able to help us, before its too late," Takato said to himself. "I wonder how Tai and the others are handling the situation in the digital world."
****************************************************************************************
Digital World- DigiDestined Version. Digital Limbo
The entire limbo landscape easily personified the world of hell itself. Although, there aren't tiny imps or firewalls blossoming the landscape. Instead, it was a barren wasteland with very little life.
Suddenly, a loud crash was heard echoing throughout the landscape. A body was left within a large crater. Another figure came walking out from the smoke itself.
[Vegeta's English Dub theme plays]
"So, Skull Satan? How's it feel to get beaten to death? Oh I forgot you're already dead. So it doesn't matter. Now, cry like the bitch you are," the figure replied.
"Curse you, Yamato… Even at death, you still inflict pain to my immortal body," the former Demon Corps member muttered.
Metalla X came stepping out from the shadows. There was a few different distinctions to the warrior. He no longer has the 'D' insignia, but he does carry a halo over his head. He walks over to the fallen Skull Satan.
"You're not going to get away with this, Yamato… I swear to it…"
"Oh, is that a fact, huh?"
"You can't even kill me since I'm already dead."
"Idiot. I can say the same thing for myself. Though, I'll enjoy every minute of torturing you."
"Spare me…"
"Whatever for?! You will feel the pain you guys inflicted on me back on Spiral Mountain!"
"Argh! No!"
"Yamato. Yamato. How unfortunate of you," a snake-like voice calls out.
Metalla X turns around and finds none other than a medium-sized pale skinned alien creature with blue spots and a long, lizard-like tail.
"Burizalor… It's not so good to see you… I lay my eyes on the one who killed me those many years ago…"
"I only killed you because you were such a naïve fool. But, now, look at you. You've surpassed even myself. I really wanted to say how proud I am for you. Alas, you've met death's doors again. I guess you underestimated the D-Reaper's power. Shame on you, Yamato. You should have known better."
"Shut up. I don't ever want to see you're face again."
"Don't like to face the truth? You attempted to repent for you're sins and atone for you're past actions. It was too late for that. You attempted to sacrifice yourself, but it was all in vain. You disappoint me, Yamato. I expected better of you…"
"I said shut up!"
"Face it! You're washed up! Why don't you just give in and become a wandering soul in limbo for eternity?"
"Well, I could say the same for you. How unfortunate that my future son slain you."
Burizalor easily looked back to that event. It was the day he nearly destroyed Earth, but he was done in instead. He had expected a rematch with Omega X. Unfortunately, he met death's door at the hands of Dimitri.
"What's the matter? Don't like to admit. Unlike you, I did it to protect the lives of others. At least, I have what you call a foreign object. I have a heart."
"Nonetheless, you remain in limbo for eternity. How I should have seen the look on your face when you gave your life up for nothing. Now, the D-Reaper is continuing her destructive ways. I hope she fries every last one of those pests! Die, Digi-Destined! I hope you, die!"
Metalla X growled under his breath as he quickly teleports in front of the evil warlord. Burizalor gasped and was leveled with a punch to the gut. Metalla X picked up Burizalor by his tail and tosses him out towards the skies above.
"This is the moment that I've been waiting for. Paybacks are a bitch, Burizalor!"
With that said, Metalla X powers up his aura and flies out to attack the once mighty warlord.
"Tai. TK. Kari. Davis. Takato. Tamers. Mimi. Everyone, it's all on your hands now. Defeat the D-Reaper!"
Looking on from beyond the distance, Black War Greymon held NeoDevimon by his throat.
"Now, this is what I call reliving the moments," the dark artificial said.

[Doom "Sign of Evil" plays]
Jeri could barely stand sounds of the military gunshots being fired at the ADRS dancing in the skies above the city. Leomon held her tightly and growled at the sight of the ADRs.
"Those things that I'm sensing have a tremendous ki. But how? It's pretty obvious that the D-Reaper is feeding them energy. Something must have happened to the D-Reaper in the other world. Otherwise, there would be no reason for any spawns to attack the city."
"Leomon? You think Takato and the others are out there at the moment? I hate being all scared and I want to do something to help my friends."
"I suppose we can go out looking for them. After all, I want to investigate these spawns myself. I don't understand why the military are attacking those creatures. They are simply giving up their own lives away. Its rather pointless."
"So, is that a yes? We can go out and find Takato."
"We need to be very careful. One slip and those spawns will come down looking for us. Stay close to me."
Jeri nodded as Leomon clutched his arm around her and goes storming off into the park. Leomon gasped as several ADR-02 spawned came hovering by. He quickly phased out and the ADRs stopped to pick up the sudden vibrations of Leomon's movement. But to their disappointment, they didn't feel a single presence. They continued on to patrol their territory.
"That was too close," Jeri said.
"Too close for comfort. Shh. They're kis are very strong for simple artificial creatures."
Leomon gasped as his eyes widened. Jeri took notice of this and looks over at the brave warrior.
"What's wrong, Leomon? Did you see something?"
"More like sense something. The ki that I am sensing from those spawn are about as strong as Virus. They're very strong. We better watch ourselves."
"Um, Leomon. We got a problem."
"Huh?"
They both turned to find several ADR-02s looking over at them with their ever-so lifeless, ghostly eyes. Leomon growls and pulls out his sword as he prepared himself for battle.
***************************************************************************************
Digital World
Mummymon and Black Gatomon looked at the skies above and watched as streams of red light came passing by them. It looked as though the D-Reaper had already sparred the two of their lives. Mummymon looks down and was tapping his fingers together nervously.
"Ok, lets just stay calm. Just pretend you didn't see those streams of light. Just walk away and pretend that it didn't happen."
"I don't know about you, but they looked pretty real to me. I'm pretty sure that they came from Dee."
"You think so?"
"I know so."
"Man, this day has really blown. First I'm nearly killed and now this. I wish I could take a cat nap right about now."
***************************************************************************************
Outside the Digital Universe. Planet Shin
Angewomon was still standing while Gosenzomon was feeding her more energy to complete the power up. The ultimate opened her eyes and felt the devastating power coming from the D-Reaper. She growled impatiently and peers over to Goseznomon.
"Gosenzomon! I hope you realize that this power up technique is not going to prove anything to me! This is a waste of my time! I should be out there trying to stop the D-Reaper!"
Shintomon gasps and felt the kis of many digimon being drained away as a result of D-Reaper's relentless attacks. He dropped to his knees as he felt the losses of every single digimon, excluding the Sovereigns.
"It's horrible! Much more horrible expected! The D-Reaper has already wiped out the entire population of digimon within the alternate digital world. That excludes the Sovereigns and your friends. So you should be relieved!" Shintomon stated.
"What?! How can this happen?! I thought the D-Reaper wouldn't fight Imperialdramon and War Angemon until tomorrow?!"
"I was too foolish to think that the D-Reaper would reach her true, evil form. How could she do this?!"
"Tai! We have to get out of here and stop them!" exclaimed Agumon.
"He's right! There's no time to waste," said Kari, "There's many digimon counting on us!"
"Alright! You guys convinced me long enough! Lets go," Tai said as he pulled out his digivice.
Shintomon goes running up to the group and stops them. Tai and Kari stopped at their tracks while looking down at the Supreme guardian.
"You have to listen to me! If you happen to open a portal out of here, then you can't get back in."
"Why not?" asked Tai.
"Think about it. While Angewomon is receiving his power up, the amount of energy surging through this dimension is entering her as we speak. If we open it, then Angewomon won't be able to reach her full power from Gosenzomon's power up and all vortexes leading back into this world will close up, which will not allow you three to return back. It's best that we all stay here and wait for her to complete her power up. I'm sure TK and Davis will complete their full training and give the D-Reaper a run for her money!"
"Ugh! That's it! I've had it! All right, Gosenzomon! I don't care about this power up! You're going to let me go and fight the D-Reaper now! I'm getting sick of this waste of twenty hours!"
"This is not an option. Do you want to get your ass handed to you in the process by the D-Reaper? You don't stand a chance in your current form, but you will be able to defeat her with this full power-up."
"Whatever…"
"Trust me… I know what I'm doing, young one."
"I'd had enough!"
As soon as she said this, Angewomon powers up and releases out a massive shockwave. A bright aura forms all over her body to give clear indication of her full power at the moment. Tai, Kari and Agumon were taken by surprise at her sudden power up. Kari was even more impressed and walked over to her digimon partner.
"Just do as he says!" Kari replied, "Get this power up over with. You'll be sure to win against the D-Reaper. It will pay off. Trust me."
"Alright. But I'm only doing this for you, Kari."
With that said, Angewomon goes sitting down as Gosenzomon proceeds on giving the angel ultimate more energy. Shintomon looked on with a smile on his face and examined how Gosenzomon was handling the situation.
"He's so great. I wouldn't be surprised if he could make Celesta X the strongest warrior in the entire digital universe. He has that knack in making his most valuable warriors as strong as he was during the old days, or so I heard from rumors."
"They're no rumors. I happen to hand pick my greatest disciples and give them the power up treatment. They were merely five hours back in my days."
"But now they're extended to twenty hours, cause your an old man who can't find his way out of a wet paper bag," remarked Kari.
"How perceptive, young one."
"Wow, I can't believe this old guy isn't boasting," said Tai, "Just hang in there, Angewomon. Only sixteen hours to go."
"Yeah. Thanks a lot for the encouragement, Tai," she replied.
"Wow. After that quick ki explosion that Angewomon just released, she was just about ten times stronger than she was before. I'll be amazed to how much extent of her maximum power she will be able to reach by the time the end of this power-up session is complete. She'll be more than enough to handle the D-Reaper herself. Gatomon, all you have to do is keep your composure together and remain calm. This will all pay off big time,"Agumon said in thought, "Then we'll show the D-Reaper who she's messing with!"
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku.
The Tamers had already explained the whole situation to the remaining Digi-Destined in Kari's apartment. Among those Digi-Destined that listened were Sora, Yolei, Mimi, Cody and Joe.
"This is getting bad," said Yolei, "There has to be something we can do."
"Our other friends are still within the city. They can always lend a hand," said Takato, "And according to Renamon, these spawn are very strong. Probably stronger than any normal mega-level digimon."
"You're right. We will need a good strategy to attack," Sora replied, "But I'll say this. Our digimon should be enough to hold off the spawn armies."
"While we handle the armies, they you three can investigate the whole situation and find out where those spawns are coming from. If I'm not mistaken, these things should at least have some sort of connection to the D-Reaper," Joe said.
"Hey! You just came up with a good idea, Joe," remarked Gomamon, "Lets give him a hand!"
"Yeah! Good theory, Joe," Cody replied, "But I was surprised that you even came up with one."
"No kidding. Izzy would have been the one to keep up with a theory," said Mimi.
"Speaking of Izzy, where is he?" asked Henry.
"He's out with those Hypnos people. They're investigating the chaos situation as we speak," replied Biyomon.
"Then I guess we should chill out here until the next attack comes," said Takato.
"I wonder if there's anymore break left! I'm really in the mood for some Guilmon bread! Yay!"
"Your still thinking about bread at a time like this?!"
"Hey. I don't blame him. I could use a little P.B. and J right about now," replied Palmon.
"I say we give the digimon something to eat before we head out into our first battle against the chaos," said Sora, "What do you say?"
The whole group nodded in agreement as the digimon all gathered over towards the kitchen. However, Rika and Renamon were looking out the window. Takato goes walking up towards them.
"Rika? Aren't you going to get yourself and Renamon fed?"
"No. I'll pass. Renamon, you need the food in order to conserve your energy anyway."
"Alright, then."
The neon-colored fox goes walking into the kitchen. Takato gazes over at Rika and then goes to ask her once again about food.
"You sure you don't want anything?"
"I'm sure. You go get yourself some bread. Don't worry about me."
"Well, alright. Suite yourself."
As soon as Takato headed into the kitchen to help bake the bread, Rika simply stares over through the window and out over towards the chaos-infested city of Shinjuku. Her eyes were now displaying that of hatred at the sight of the D-Reaper.
"You want to kill us all off, D-Reaper? Well, we're not going to allow that to happen! Rest assured, we'll bring you down. I'm not going to allow you to take away my family, Renamon, my friends and my goggle head. Once we're done debating your little toy soldiers, then we're coming back after you in the digital world."
****************************************************************************************
Shinjuku Central Park
Leomon was holding off his own as the army of ADR-02s surrounded him. Jeri stood by his side as the brave warrior prepared to go for battle.
"Leomon! We're surrounded! I don't think we can beat them."
"Not until I evolve straight into my mega-level form, Cyberleomon. I don't think my form of Saberleomon will be able to hold them off."
"We have to at least try!"
"However, if I digivolve to Cyberleomon, I won't be able to suppress my ki. I mighty accidentally destroy a portion of the city with that sheer power."
The ADRs prepared to head in to attack, but then were quickly stopped by a pair of ki blasts. Leomon and Jeri looked up to see none other than Sonja flying down.
"Sonja! Thank goodness you came!" Jeri exclaimed.
"I came here just in time. Leomon, protect Jeri. I can handle these twerps."
"Be careful. They're apart of the D-Reaper chaos. Do not underestimate them."
"Don't worry. I'm not alone. I've got backup."
"What?"
Their questions were soon answered as Stingmon came flying in and struck down several ADRs with his 'Spiking Strike'.
"Spiking Strike!"
Ken comes running out towards Jeri and Leomon. Cyberdramon came rushing out from the bushes.
"Desolation Claw!"
With that said, Cyberdramon was able to wipe out another patch of ADRs. Ryo came walking out.
[Digimon 02 theme "Break Up!" plays]
"Ken! Ryo! You guys came!"
"Don't worry, Jeri. Sonja, Cyberdramon and Stingmon will handle this from here," Ken assured the girl.
"Alright then."
"Ready, Stingmon?"
"Lets send these goofs packing!"
"Attack, Cyberdramon!"
"Yes, Ryo!"
The three fighters go flying at the ADRS as Sonja began blasting away at several of them. Stingmon was able to fight several at once with his rapid kicks and punches. Cyberdramon slashes his way through a patch of agents as if they were tissue paper. But for some apparent reason, none of their attacks were affecting the ADRS. There wasn't even a single scratch on the artificial beings.
"Um, Sonja?"
"What?"
"Looks like this is going to be much more difficult than I thought."
"Time for plan B?"
"Yeah."
"Lets do it!"
Sonja goes flying right through several ADRS drones and uses a huge energy beam to knock them out of commission. Stingmon used his 'Spiking Strike' to attempt to mow them some as if they were bowling pins. The two fighters gasped when their attacks didn't even do much damage to the ADRS.
"Desolation Claw!"
With another wave of his attack, Cyberdramon knocked down several agents at once.
"Um, Stingmon?"
"Yeah? What is it?"
"If our attacks don't even affect them, then we're basically screwed."
"So true."
Leomon could only take so much and was growling under his breath. Ken and Jeri could only look on with shock and realize that Sonja, Cyberdramon and Stingmon were unable to affect the spawn drones with any of their attacks.
"We're in serious trouble here," Ken said to himself. "Where the hell are the others?!"
Pikkan looks on from behind some bushes. He would not attack until desperate times calls desperate measures.
***************************************************************************************
Hokkaido
The D-Reaper continues to glare at the hourglass with a rather dark and cold look on her face. She cracked her knuckles in anticipation of taking on War Angemon and Imperialdramon, but she would also have to deal with Celesta X eventually.
[Doom "Sinister" plays]
D-Reaper and Buddamon were both standing around while the sand in the hourglass was still taking time to fill up. D-Reaper watches silently as the sand began draining in the hourglass.
"Remember, Takeru. The time chamber will enable you to get as strong through the simplest forms of training."
"I know, Buddamon. I've entered this sort of environment before. As far as I'm concerned, I have plenty of experience in the time chamber. I'll teach Davis to withstand the harsh environment. Imperialdramon will gain a lot just for taking part in this room. If it weren't for the time room seven years, Patamon and I wouldn't have merged into War Angemon. We released our greatest potentials."
"Good. Now listen up. Every minute you spend in that room, it equals almost to that of exactly is hours. So that means you have plenty of time to train as hard as possible. I have doubt that you two will reach your maximum. D-Reaper doesn't exactly look like a happy camper, so I better try to find a way to keep her preoccupied."
"Alright. Good luck, Buddamon. We'll train hard."
"I know you will. Good luck with the training."
D-Reaper is now slowly becoming more and more impatient as the minutes passes and there was a sign of anger crossing her face. After each cascade of sand drops down the hourglass, she clenches her teeth and smashes her feet to the ground. She looks up to face Buddamon and they both had a temporary stare down.
Suddenly, D-Reaper clenches her fists and she lets out a terrifying scream in a burst of insane anger. The ground started to crumble and the hourglass shattered away. D-Reaper narrows her eyes over to Buddamon.
"THAT'S IT! NO MORE! I have grown bored of waiting! I have grown tired of waiting!"
D-Reaper lets out another angry fit of rage and releases a wave of energy around the entire landscape. They managed to brace themselves against the gale of powerful energy.
"Please. I urge you to wait a little longer. The fighter is not ready to face you just yet."
But D-Reaper would have none of it as she shoots out a small blast over at Buddamon's feet, which startles the panda. D-Reaper starts screaming angrily once again in a fit of rage.
"I demand the warrior to come out and face me! NOW! I want that warrior to face me!"
As a result of her fit of rage, the ground around her started to shake and crumble under her feet. The canyons surrounding them were beginning to collapse. Buddamon gasped as he watched the ground him starting to crumble and sink down into the depths below. The two glared over at each other while the landscape around them started to crumble. Buddamon sighs and then turns his back to D-Reaper.
"Fine. So be it, D-Reaper. You may face the warrior that you seek now. Follow me."
D-Reaper grins and goes following behind Buddamon. He leads her towards the visible vortex and activates it.
"Hurry up, higher being! I don't have all day. I'm looking forward to this warrior that Omega X had promised me."
"Well, you won't be disappointed."
With that said, Buddamon waves his hands diagonally and the vortex opened up leading right into the time chamber. An anticipating smile forms across D-Reaper's face as she narrows her eyes through the brightness of the secret training room itself.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku.
The Tamers and the Destined team were baking trays full of 'Guilmon bread'. Takato and Guilmon were both having a blast baking up the bread while the others helped them out.
The digimon all gathered around as they gazed down at the bread stacked together in a huge plate. Guilmon looked down at each bread piece with starry eyes full of happiness and joy. The Tamers and the Destined stood in one corner as they gazed over at their digimon. Mimi pulls out a camera and quickly snaps a picture of the digimon all gathered together around the bread pieces.
"Bon appetite, guys!" exclaimed Takato.
"Yay!"
The digimon each snatched themselves a piece of the 'Guilmon bread' and munched away as if they were pigs. Guilmon takes a piece and starts munching it like there was no tomorrow. Biyomon picked hers up and looked at it with a questionable look on her face.
"I've never had bread with somebody's face on it. Is this supposed to be good," she asked.
"Look? Do you see any of us poisoned? Go on and pig out," Terriermon said, "I don't know about you but I wouldn't miss out on this chance!"
"Now this is what I call bread," Armadillomon said with a satisfied look on his face.
"Oh yeah! I can stuff myself like this all day without even having to going to the bathroom," Gomamon remarked.
"Gomamon! We're eating!" the digimon all exclaimed with disgust.
"What? What did I say?!"
Renamon picks up a piece of the bread and slowly puts it in her mouth. Rika looks over at her digimon and smirked.
"Go on, Renamon. You're not going to get any energy if you don't eat."
"Well. I really never hurt to try something new. Oh what the hey…"
As soon as she said that, Renamon starts chewing away at the bread and she licked her lips in sheer satisfaction. Rika manages to take a bite of the Guilmon bread.
"So what did guys think of the bread? Too moldy? Too hot? Cold?"
"One word, goggle head. Delicious."
"Great! Now I know what to put in the bread next time! Not too much flour and water."
"Um, right. So, what did you think, Renamon?"
"Not bad. But next time, you shouldn't put 'eyeballs' on the bread. It just doesn't look right."
"Why not? That's the whole point of Guilmon bread. And those are not eyes. They're gumballs."
"Gumballs. Hmm, no wonder they taste so sweet."
The digimon continued to feast until there wasn't anything left. Each of them had filled stomachs and glazed looks on their faces.
"Well, looks like our digimon got fed well. They should have enough energy to burn off so that they can fight in the battle later on," said Henry.
They all nodded in agreement, until Takato decided to speak up. They all listened to what the goggle boy head to say.
"Alright. This is what we know from the D-Reaper thus far. There are two separate entities. One of which is the chaos mass that is invading West Shinjuku. We have no idea how it got there but we're going to have to fight off the drones that it has created in the city. Rika, Henry and myself had a quick run-in with a swarm of them. We managed to escape in time before they caught up to us. Now there's a major flaw to this, the drones are very affective against anything digital and that includes our own digimon."
Henry cuts in and continues to explain the situation, but pointing out to the drone's advantages.
"We realized that these drones are linked to the D-Reaper in some fashion. That is why we must not underestimate these things despite their harmless features. These things are able to delete even our own digimon. If any of our digimon touches those drones, then they are deleted. It's simple as that. There is no turning back now."
As soon as Henry got done explaining his side of the situation, Rika comes in next and tells them about the other entity of the D-Reaper.
"I was the only one of the three to have seen the actual D-Reaper being. Right now, the others are training as hard as possible to face off against this thing. We realized that it is able to regenerate itself after being blown into pieces by Metalla X, which cost Matt his own life."
Mimi has an angry look on her face and looked down towards Palmon, who also shared the same expression as her human partner.
"So, that's all we got to say. You are either in or out. But, Rika, Henry and myself are going out there to fight the drones. While the others stop the D-Reaper in one world, we'll do the best that we can to slow down the chaos that thrives in our own. So, what do you say? Are you all in?"
The Destined looked over towards each other and were discussing the decision towards each other. Sora and Biyomon were the first to stand.
"We're in," Sora said.
Next, Cody and Armadillomon were standing with serious looks.
"Us, too."
Mimi and Palmon followed by Yolei and Hawkmon were the next to stand.
"Hawkmon and I are ready for action."
"We're going to avenge Matt's death."
Joe and Gomamon came next as Joe clenched his fists.
"You can rely on us!"
"But wait! Who's going to stay and take care of the babies?" asked Yolei.
"Ummm, good question," Takato said, "One of us are just going to have to stay here then."
"You guys go! We'll take care of the babies from here!" a voice called out from the balcony.
They group all turned around and gasped to see none other than Guardromon and Kazu waving. Takato runs over to them.
"Alright! Just inn the nick of time, but how did you know where to find us?"
"Through Guardromon. He's not as goofy as he looks. You guys go on. We'll take care of the babies," the boy said with a nonchalant grin.
"Besides, taking care of babies is nothing new for me," Guardromon replied, "I took care of many digimon babies. Human babies won't be any different."
"Thank you," Yolei said.
"We're very grateful for you," said Mimi.
"Alright! It's all settled! Its go out and save mankind!" Takato calls out.
"Make that a giant leap for all digi-kind!" Terriermon cries out.
"There he goes flapping his lips again," Henry thought.
They all cheered while raising their fists, while getting themselves ready for the battle against the ADR drones.

Elsewhere within Shinjuku
Impmon was walking through the empty streets while looking over the letter that his Tamers wrote for him. He then started to memorize the name of the section of the city of where they were currently residing at the moment since the D-Reaper's chaos arrived.
"Hmmm. Where the heck is this 'Hongo'? Is that supposed to be some sort of buffalo? Ugh, forget it. I'll never find them at a city named after some sort of cattle."
But just as he was about to give up, he kneeled against a stop sign and looked up to see the name of the street name. And to his surprise, it read 'Hongo'. His eyes widened and he quickly sat up.
"Ack! It's been here all along! Geez, I need better vision! I could have sworn that it read 'Pongo'. Oh well, at least, I know that I'm in the right place."
Impmon goes walking down the street and looks towards several houses along the way. They seemed to be quiet at the moment since the infestation of the chaos mass in the city of Shinjuku.
"They could be at any of these houses. So, what a I supposed to do? Knock on everybody's doors and ask for two kids. I wonder where Ai and Makoto could be."
The little rookie goes climbing up against a house and manages to pull himself onto the top of a nearby roof. He catches his breath and goes sitting down while wiping his sweaty forehead.
"Whew. I need to exercise a little more. I'm sweating like a pig here."
Just then, he heard two voices coming out of the house and looked down to see where the sources of the voices were coming from. And to Impmon's surprise, there were two children walking out. He gasped when they turned to face them. One was a little boy with a coat and the other a little girl, who seemed a little older than the boy. They both broke up the silence and spoke up.
"Impmon? Is that you?" Ai asked.
"Are we seeing things?" Makoto said.
"Hi guys. Its really you… I can't believe it," Impmon muttered with a smirk on his face.
The two children jumped up as they called down for their digimon.
"Impmon! It is really you! You knew that you would come back to us," exclaimed Ai.
"We thought we would never see you again," Mako said.
Impmon goes jumping off from the roof and stands before his two Tamers with a smirk on his face. Now that he has reunited with his two Tamers, the possibility of him evolving might come forth.
**************************************************************************************
A group of ADRs were seen approaching a sliver-haired individual wearing a red suit and MC-Hammer like pants. The individual was carrying a large sword over his shoulder. With one swipe, the sword created a claw-like blast and it easily vanquished the agents.
"Shit. I didn't come back to the modern era just to get ambushed by some demon wannabes. Where's Kagome when you need here?!"
Unfortunately, another swarm of ADRs were seen coming out from the alleyways. The individual known as Inuyasha turned to face them.
"Want to go for a little round two then? Let's go! Tetsusaiga!"
With another sword swipe, Inuyasha vanquishes another horde. The half-breed wiped his forehead willingly.
"I could go on all night!"
With that said, another patch appeared above Inuyasha. The half-demon sighed in disbelief with a sweat drop coming down behind his head.
"I don't believe this…"
***************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku Central Park
The ADRs were basically in control of the battle against Stingmon Cyberdramon and Sonja. The fighters were not gaining any second winds as they were completely drained.
Ken, Jeri, Ryo and Leomon looked on from the background in hopes of seeing the two fighters trying to regain their composures and fight back as soon as possible.
"Leomon. We've got to help them!" Jeri cried out, "If only you can digivolve…"
"Not yet. They're not done yet. They were just getting started," Leomon replied, "C'mon! What's the problem? Are these drones really that powerful? Sonja and Stingmon aren't even inflicting any kind of damage to them."
Stingmon and Sonja go phasing out as the ADRs were caught off by surprise. Sonja quickly reappears behind several ADRs and delivers a barrage of ki blasts. Stingmon appears from out of the tree and delivers a kick to another pair of drones. Cyberdramon simply slashed his way through several drones.
"Take this! Why don't these things take any of our attacks! Its like they have some sort of protective armor," Sonja exclaimed, "My blasts aren't even making a dent on them!"
"Damn! If only the others had come here just in time," Stingmon said.
"Then we might have a slight chance," replied Cyberdramon.
"They're not going to hold out much longer! We're definitely going to need reinforcements," said Ken.
"Is it reinforcements you want?! Its reinforcements you're going to get! Pyro Blaster!"
The group suddenly looked over and saw a huge fiery blast rushing past through the ADR swarm like wildfire but only managed to send them flying back. Stingmon and Sonja were caught by surprise as they turned to see Growlmon, Kyuubimon and Gargomon in one corner. Then they turned towards another direct as they faced Biradramon, Ikkaukumon, Togemon, Aquillamon and Ankylomon.
"Alright! It's about time you guys came!" Ken exclaimed, "We were getting creamed!"
"Don't worry, Ken! We'll take care of everything from here," said Takato, "Jeri! Ryo! Leomon! Alright guys? Ready, Growlmon!"
"Yeah!"
"Kyuubimon!"
"Gargomon!"
The three Tamer's digimon went rushing into the battlefield as more ADR-02s started flying from within the trees. Growlmon goes rushing by an ADR and fires away another 'Pyro Blaster'.
"Pyro Blaster!"
Kyuubimon spins into a cartwheel and transforms herself into a flaming dragon as she executed 'Dragon Wheel' on another ADR.
"Dragon Wheel!"
Gargomon goes shooting a barrage of his 'Gargo Lasers' over another.
"Gargo Lasers!"
"Digi-Destined team! Move out!"
Birdramon and Aquillamon both flew up as another swarm of ADR-02s surrounded them. Birdramon powers up and then shoots out a barrage of fireballs from her wings.
"Meteor Wing!"
Aquillamon shoots out a spiral-like beam over to another grouped swarm.
"Blast Rings!"
Their attacks collided with the ADR army, but they were seemingly ineffective against the digimon's attacks.
"What?! That didn't even leave any scratches on them!" exclaimed Aquillamon.
"Any more bright ideas?" Birdramon asked.
Armadillomon and Ikkakumon charged ahead as they warded off several more ADRS heading their way.
"Ikkaukumon! Its time to nail them!" Joe exclaimed.
"I'll nail it to them! Harpoon Torpedo!"
Ikkaumon watches as his missiles started firing away at the ADRS. Ankylomon came charging and swiped several of the ADRs with ease. Cody cheered on for his digimon from the background. Ankylomon nodded over to his partner in approval.
But to their dismay, the swarm started to rise again. This caused the entire digimon group to look on with shock across their faces.
"What?! Our digimon's attacks weren't affective!" exclaimed Sora, "What now?"
"We're just going to have to digivolve them into their ultimate forms. We might stand more of a chance," said Joe.
"Alright! Lets do this! Growlmon! Time to go ultimate, buddy," Takato exclaimed.
"Lets do it!"
The Tamer children pulled out cards and they each quickly turned into blue cards. They then pulled out their D-Arks and slashed them blue cards through them.

"Growlmon shinka! War Growlmon!"
"Kyuubimon shinka! Taomon!"
"Gargomon shinka! Rapidmon!"
"Alright! It's time to go old school guys!" exclaimed Sora, "Birdramon digivolve!"
Sora's digivice shoots out a large energy beam and it quickly engulfs Birdramon. She was now ready to evolve into her ultimate-leveled form.
"Birdramon chou shinka! Garudamon!"
"Togemon! You're turn!"
Mimi's digivice releases a beam of energy and it allowed Togemon the power to evolve right into her ultimate-level form.
"Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
"Ikkakumon! Lets go!"
Joe's digivice shoots out a beam of energy and Ikkakumon manages to use the energy to allow himself to evolve into his ultimate-level form.
"Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
"Ankylomon! You should stay champion form and fight alongside with one of the other ultimates," Cody said, "That way we can have a clear advantage."
"Right!"
"You too, Aquillamon!"
"You got it!"
"Stingmon! Go lend them a hand, but make sure to converse some of your own energy," Ken ordered.
"Leomon. They need you."
"I'll do the best that I can, Jeri. I won't disappoint you!"
Suddenly, the swarms of ADR-02s started to spread out as an even larger ADR came flying out from the nearby chaos mass. ADR-03 looked over towards the park and picked up several strong kis. It exposes itself and looks upon the army of ultimates and champions in one spot.
"What the heck is that thing?!" Sonja exclaimed.
"It's another agent," Taomon said, "And this one seems craftier than the others. We should keep a look out!"
"Shall we attack?" asked War Growlmon.
"Go for it! That thing maybe strong, but we definitely have strength in numbers," exclaimed Takato, "All digimon attack now!"
The digimon all spread out around the ADR as it looked down upon each digimon preparing for each of their attacks. Taomon was the first to make her move.
"Talisman Spells!"
Aquillamon and Garudamon go soaring in the skies as they fired away their attacks over at the ADR.
"Blast Rings!"
"Wing Blade!"
ADR maneuvered away from each of the attacks, not even the Wing Blade was able to affect it. Zudomon, Rapidmon and Ankylomon came next to unleash their attacks.
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Rapid Fire!"
"Iron Balls!"
Each of these attacks was considered very affective against opponents in battles, but the ADR was able to maneuver away from the attacks with tremendous of ease.
"What?! It was able to maneuver from their attacks! But how is it gaining this amount of speed! I can't seem to detect its movements!" exclaimed Leomon.
"Maybe, this will put it down!"
Sonja goes shooting out a huge beam and sends it right for the ADR and makes a direct hit. Sonja looks on with a smile and snapped her fingers in triumph.
"Alright! That should get him! I've out many digimon's asses down with that shot."
"Um, are you sure?" asked Rika.
"I'm positive. It takes down even the strongest of megas," she replied.
"Well, you better take a look! That didn't even make a dent on it."
"What the hell?!"
The ADR started to power up and then it shoots out a blast that looked very similar to Sonja's beam. The digimon all jumped away as the blast penetrated the ground. Sonja jumps away and looks on with shock across her face.
"That was my attack! That drone was copying my attack!"
Lillymon goes flying up and forms a ball of energy in her hands. She then shoots it out at the ADR.
"Flower Cannon!"
War Growlmon came next as his chest plates started to open up and releases a large amount of energy at the drone.
"Atomic Blaster!"
"Stop it! That drone is just going to copy our attacks," Leomon exclaimed, "If it was able to copy Sonja's attack, then it will use your own fire power against you."
"Great. How come we weren't reminded of this," asked Henry.
"No! Garudamon! Look out!"
The ADR goes flying up and shoots out a fiery phoenix over at the ultimate. Garudamon cries out as she gets nailed in the chest. The spawned drone turns its attention over to Aquillamon and opens it mouth to release the same exact 'Blast Rings' at him. Aquillamon cries out as he suffered the same fate as Garudamon.
"Aquillamon!"
The drone quickly maneuvers over towards Zudomon, Ankylomon and Rapidmon. It quickly shoots out Zulcan's Hammer to knock Zudomon back, then blasts Rapidmona way with his own missiles and takes down Ankylomon with his 'Iron Balls'.
"Oh no! Rapidmon!"
"Ankylomon! What just happened?!"
"Guys! Don't use anymore of your attacks on it!" exclaimed Joe.
Lillymon also suffered the same treatment as the drone blasts her away with her own 'Flower Cannon'.
Taomon was no different as the drone used her shield to block out her attacks. Then without warning, the drone blasts Taomon with her Talisman Spells. War Growlmon went to attack but was sent flying back from the ADR's version of the 'Atomic Blaster'.
"War Growlmon!"
"Takato! What are we going to do?! We can't fight something that uses our digimon's attacks!" exclaimed Rika.
"Yeah! We're basically fighting ourselves if you ask me," Rapidmon remarked.
"Cyberdramon! Any ideas?!"
"We're basically fighting an enemy that copies our attacks. This doppelganger has to have a weakness! But, where is the question."
"Man! I really wish we had enough time to train our digimon! We weren't prepared for something like this and these are just simple drones! How are actually going to defeat the chaos mass," Takato thought to himself. "If only we had some help in any form! Anybody! We desperately need help!"
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within West Shinjuku
Impmon felt the decreasing kis of the other digimon and sits up from the ground with a determined look on his face.
"Impmon, what's wrong?" asked Makoto.
"Do you see something?"
"Guys. I really hate to say this, but I have to go."
"Huh?! But why? You just got here," said Ai.
"My friends are in trouble. I have to save them. They need me."
"But, your not planning on leaving us again, are you, Impmon?"
"Of course not, Makoto."
The virus rookie turns to face them with a smirk on his face. He then sighed and started to walk away.
"Don't worry. I promise I'll come back before you know it. I'll be back in time for supper."
Impmon goes running off but then Makoto calls out for him. Impmon turns to see the little boy with a toy gun in his hands.
"Impmon! If you're going to go out there to save your friends, then you can use this."
"Huh? For me?"
"Yeah! And you can use it to blast the bad guys out with it!"
"Makoto… I don't know what to say. Thanks! Your the greatest!"
Impmon takes the gun and gives thumbs up to the boy. He turns to face Ai, who gave him a kiss on his cheek. The rookie blushed and tried covering his face.
"We really love you, Impmon."
"Ack. You didn't have to go all mushy on me, but… I love you too! Don't you worry! I'll be back before you know it. I promise!"
With that said, Impmon goes running off down the streets leaving the siblings behind and looking on.
"You think he'll come back?" asked Makoto.
"Yeah. He even said that he would. I know he won't leave us again," Ai assured her younger brother.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the confinements of Shinjuku, a pair of female figures was seen on the streets. A ADR-02 horde made their way to scan the individuals. That is until these female figures retaliated.
"Venus Love Me Chain!"
"Burning Mandala!"
The combined attacks nailed the horde directly and easily disintegrated them. Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus were triumphant over a horde. It looks as though they had run into the ADR horde unexpectedly.
"Who would thought Shinjuku would be this bad?" Sailor Venus pondered.
"Hey, at least we're back in some form of action. I couldn't stand early retirement. Besides, I haven't lost my touch," Sailor Mars replied. "I wonder if those kids are fighting these things."
"I suppose so. Then again, they'd be out of their mind!"
"I don't know. They handled those monsters beforehand. I'm sure they can take enemies like these."
"Wait, do they even know that their weakness are their cords?" Venus asked.
"Shit. I never really thought of that…"
"Let's hope that they figured it out on their way…"
**************************************************************************************
Digital World. Time Chamber.
D-Reaper goes walking into the time chamber and looks around the empty room in search of his opponent, but saw nothing but complete emptiness. She growled angrily under her breath and turned to face Buddamon.
"Hey! I thought you said that they were in here! Where are the warriors that I am looking for! You will bring them out to face me in a battle or I will kill you!" D-Reaper hissed with sheer anger.
"You want them?"
"Yes!"
"You really want them?!"
"Yes! I do!"
"Heh. Well look behind you."
"What the hell are you babbling about?!"
As soon as she said that, a large explosion occurs in the background and this catches D-Reaper's attention. She goes peering to see who was standing with a bright golden blue aura around his body. D-Reaper smirked and cracked her knuckles.
"So, are you the warrior that Omega X speaks of?"
"Yes. We are the one."
[Super Sayian battle theme plays]
The shadow comes stepping into view as War Dramon flips up and lands on his feet. He tilts his head up and flashed his eyes over to the D-Reaper. The monster chuckled and placed her hands on her hips.
"Oh, so it's you again? War Dramon, what did I tell you the last time we fought? You were going to die when you faced me. My weaker counterpart was able to beat you, so what makes you think you'll stand much a chance against my new, updated form?"
War Dramon simply smirked, which started to piss D-Reaper off beyond belief. Now D-Reaper was begging to get her hands on the cocky warrior.
"Incredible! They've managed to increase their ki over a short amount of time. But lets not forget, a couple of minutes in the outside world are almost a week in the time chamber. All right, War Dramon, the cards are decked. Now let's see if you will live up to you're hype."
D-Reaper started walking out towards War Dramon and stared right through the newly evolved fusion warrior.
"Alright, War Dramon. The table is all set. Show me what you're made of. I'll allow you to make the first hit. I'm begging you to hit me. Hit me now."
War Dramon responds as he quickly gets into a fighting stance and powers up with his aura flaring up like never before. D-Reaper smiled at the sight and was now prepared to do battle with the fusion warrior. Will War Dramon, the fusion of both War Angemon and Imperialdramon, actually live up to their promises and defeat the D-Reaper? The showdown was set to commence.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. East Shinjuku. Abandoned Warehouse.
Demon looks on through his orb with glee. However, he was also upset by the sudden interference by the unexpected appearances of Inuyasha and two Sailor Senshi.
"It seems we have some intruders attempting to bury my plans! We can't allow their actions to go unpunished," Demon stated.
"You want us to stop them?" Cymbalmon asked.
"We can take care of those nuisances," Tambourinemon replied.
"No. Let us wait. Those children still haven't figured out the agent's weakness. They can claw and slash through them all they want. There is only one weakness through my agents and those children are too clueless to know where to find it."
With that said, the demon lord cackled at the sheer thought of the Digi-Destined and Tamers falling short against his powerful agents. However, he wasn't counting on the arrival of another unexpected guest.
**************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
Impmon goes running down the street with the gun that Makoto has given to him. He couldn't believe that he was going to do this. He wasn't even sure if he could evolve back into Beelzebumon again.
"Why me?! I have to go out there and save people that I tried to kill? It just doesn't feel right. I really don't care what happens to them, but I'll do everything I can to protect Ai and Makoto. Anything! I wish was strong enough to fight the D-Reaper and protect my tamers!"
With that said, everything went into sudden slow motion and Impmon's foot quickly disappeared into view and was now placed by Beelzebumon's foot.
[Kid Rock's "American Bad Ass" plays]
The demon lord looked down at his body in shock and felt his ki returning to him and giving him back his full power. He smirked and looks right down at the toy gun as it started to glow an aura of purple light.
"Thanks, Makoto! This might come in more handier than you think!"
Beelzebumon watched as the toy gun quickly transformed into a large gun with two hooks at the end. Then, he felt his back starting to pulse and two wings came out of his back. They were angelic wings, but were pure black. The red pupils in his three eyes were now fading away and replaced by green eyes.
"So, this is my true form? Well, I must say that I'm really impressed. Now, time to blast some bad guys away! This one is for you, Makoto! And for you, Ai!"
With that said, Beezlebumon goes flying up into the skies above and heads over towards the location of the battle between ADR-03 and the digimon. An aura formed all around his body and he quickly boosted up his speed in order to travel out at a long distance.
Can Beelzebumon save the Tamers and the Destined from the onslaught of ADR-03 and will he align himself with his former adversaries? Plus the showdown between War Dramon and the D-Reaper is well under way! Who will come out on top?!

Beelzebumon's Revival! War Dramon Goes All Out!
Earth. West Shinjuku
Beelzebumon was soaring over the landscape while looking down around the city and looked over towards the large chaos mass that was surrounding the central part of the city. His eyes gazed over and he felt a very strong ki from the mass.
"Is that ki I'm sensing coming from that chaos mass? If it is, then we're in serious trouble. The D-Reaper must be really powerful if it can pull off such a ki. I've never felt anything like it. Ok, first things first. I wonder where Pineapple head and his buddies are."
"Is that them! I can sense their ki. That's got to be them! Well, there's no time to lose. It's either put up or shut up. I better let these D-Reaper creeps the true power of a demon lord!"
As soon as he said that, Beelzebumon powers up and then goes speeding off towards his destined location and went over to help the Tamers with the ongoing struggle against ADR-03. He had to get there to stop the spawned drone before it wipes out the entire digimon group.
East Shinjuku Abandoned Warehouse.
Demon watched on through his orb. He was quite pleased with the damage an agent has inflicted on an entire team of Digi-Destined and Tamers.
"Who would have thought they would be this weak without any of their stronger links," Tambourinemon stated.
"Sort of like taking candy from a digi-baby," Cymbalmon snickered.
"Yes, I've supplied these agents with some of my own essence. They still haven't figured out their weakness. It's only a matter of time before they fall."
Suddenly, another image instantly appears on his orb. An aerial view of Beelzebumon is shown in front of the demon lord.
"What's the meaning of this?" Demon pondered. "Another lamb to be thrown to the slaughter? I don't think he knows who he's dealing with."
"Want us to take him out of the picture, my lord?" Cymbalmon asked.
"No, we shall see how everything plays out. I doubt even this fool can figure out the agent's weakness."
Kari's Apartment
Suzie sends some time with Yolei and Mimi's children, Namoi and Dimitri. Lopmon looks on gleefully, but couldn't help but wonder if her comrades will be fine from the battle.
Meanwhile, Kazu and Kenta are playing a little Grand Turismo 2012. Kazu was easily whipping Kenta like the beaten stepchild that he was. Poor Kenta will never get a break, especially at video game play against Kazu.
"Man! I can't believe I lost again! I give up."
"Aw, c'mon, Kenta. Don't be a sore sport. At least, you've lost to an established game player. Right, Guardromon?"
"Huh? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
"Uh! Don't you ever pay attention to anything I say, you big doofus!"
"At least you believe in me, Marineangemon."
"Pi. Pi."
"How do you think the Battle City tournament is turning out?" Kenta wondered.
"They're probably near the finals. I predict Yugi and Kaiba," replied Kazu. "That's what is likely to go down. They're the top duelists in the tournament."
"This sucks. Thanks to D-Reaper, we're missing out on the tournament."
"Dude, we can just check the results off the Internet. Think, Kenta!"
Marineangemon happily flies on top of Kenta's head and watches the boys play another round of Grand Turismo.
"I wonder if Takato and the others are having much more fun than we are," Kazu stated.
Unfortunately, he was ever so wrong about Takato and co. having any form of fun with the D-Reaper agents. How could anyone consider that fun?
Time Chamber.
There was a sudden showdown to take place from within the time chamber. War Dramon stood his ground as he looked over to D-Reaper. The evil entity was grinning satanically. Buddamon was only there as a spectator and knew that he shouldn't get himself involved into the battle. He was way out of their league.
D-Reaper was looking over to War Dramon with a rather annoyed look on his face. D-Reaper had expected a better challenge but has to face somebody that she has already beaten.
"Ready for the pain, D-Reaper?"
She responded by simply walking over towards War Dramon, which really set off War Celesta. The fussed warrior goes dashing up into the air and sends his foot down and dove right back at the D-reaper.
"Try this on for size! Dramon Kick!"
As soon as they called out their attack, War Dramon goes flying down and delivers a devastating kick right to the side of D-Reaper's neck. The monster's neck was twisted, but she managed to swivel it around back easily. War Dramon goes and tries it again. He dove right for D-Reaper and delivers another Dramon Kick. This time around, it was enough to create a massive explosion after the collision between the two fighters.
Buddamon looks on with anticipation as the smoke started to clear away. As soon as the smoke faded, the D-Reaper was still standing motionless. War Dramon goes backing up apprehensively. War Dramon goes walking back but then dives forward as they went for another attack. He wrenched his fist back and directed it over to D-Reaper's face.
"Dramon Fist!"
War Dramon goes spinning around as if he was a human tornado and was targeting for the monster. He charged and started pummeling away at D-Reaper with everything he's got. Once again, nothing happened and D-Reaper was still standing unscathed. D-Reaper smirked and placed her finger on her chin.
"Here. I'm giving you a free shot. Go for it."
This taunt from the D-Reaper only managed to infuriate War Dramon as he powered up and began pummeling away at her with another set of Dramon Fists. War Dramon would not stand for anybody to merely toy around with him. D-Reaper was no exception. War Dramon bends back and then pops D-Reaper right in the face with a powerful punch that was enough to crush a human's skull into oatmeal. However, D-Reaper was able to recover from the onslaught that War Dramon was delivering to her.
The room suddenly changes as a result of the time chamber itself, and the empty space was slowly transforming itself into a snow valley. War Dramon slowly got up to his feet and started to maneuver around the falling snow that was blowing at his direction. He concentrated and started to fire away a barrage of ki blasts over at the D-Reaper. These ki blasts were so powerful that they each had enough force to blast away a large portion of a parking lot.
But after all of this was said and done, D-Reaper was simply standing as if nothing had happened to her. Buddamon, with clenched fists, watched on to see War Dramon's ineffective assault on the D-Reaper. He was starting for fear for the worst to come.
War Dramon growled under his breath as he screamed once again and started to unleash another barrage once again. Each blast was starting to hit D-Reaper and a barrage soon covered her with a smoke cloud building up all around her.
But just as War Dramon was shooting out more blasts, D-Reaper decided to take the chance to make her next attack and goes striking the fused warrior away. War Dramon skidded across the snowy landscape and managed to flip up back to his feet. War Dramon stared wide-eyed for a moment and clutched their face in unconcealed pain. He managed to contend with it and turned his attention back over to the D-Reaper.
War Dramon looks on over towards Buddamon and rushes over to the panda digimon. D-Reaper growled at her opponent's incompetence and goes out to stop War Dramon.
"Hey! Where are you going! We're not done yet!"
"Hold on, D-Reaper. We're taking a little time out break. We'll be back with you in a moment."
"Daikeru! You know better than to withdraw from a battle, even as crucial as this. Why do you choose to do so?" asked Buddamon.
"I'm not withdrawing from the battle. I think I got a plan, but what do you think of our chances of winning."
"Slim to none."
"All right. Just hang tight. I've got a plan and you might just like it. We'll take care of everything from here."
"Alright, enlighten me by demonstrating it in the battle."
"Right."
D-Reaper turned around and gave them a dark glare, as if she were listening to their conversation. War Dramon decided to let Buddamon know of the plan he had set for the D-Reaper.
"I'm going to plan out for me to act like that I were losing. Then I'll pull off the exciting victory at the last minute."
"Just fight with everything you got throughout the course of the battle. You're not here to impress anybody. This is serious work. Now get serious, War Dramon."
D-Reaper glares over to them and was slowly getting more angry and angry after each minute that passes by.
"All right! Times up, warrior! It's time for round two!"
"You got it! Time to unleash the good ol' smack down!"
War Dramon quickly powers up with a bright aura surrounding his body. He goes charging forward and attacks the D-Reaper head-on. He executed another Dramon Fist, but it was quite obvious that the D-Reaper was impervious to this sort of pain. War Dramon wasn't even taking the battle seriously and this attacks are not even hurting the D-Reaper, let alone leaving a mark on her. It was obvious that Davis' cocky attitude was the strongest trait of War Dramon.
War Dramon goes flying right to D-Reaper and goes for a spinning back kick, but D-Reaper caught it with ease and sends out a blast at the fused warrior. The blast was so strong that it was able to knock War Dramon away and send him crashing into the nearby snow hill. Buddamon looks on with grief and encourages for the fusion warrior to regain their senses. D-Reaper simply popped her neck and began speaking.
"This is pathetic. My patience is wearing thin. I'm just going to kill them now. So much for the ol' smack down, boys."
With that said, D-Reaper goes walking forth towards the fallen snow hill with a satanic grin on her face. But just as she was drawing nearer, the fused warrior blasts out from the deep snow and quickly boosts up his power. Buddamon looks on with a smirk on his face and watched War Dramon rising from within the snow hill.
D-Reaper looks ahead and was seeing the powered-up form of War Dramon. They were already in their ascended level with an impressive explosion of golden blue energy. The warrior stares over at the D-Reaper giving her a death glare. He stuck his hand out and positions his thumb down.
"You're royally screwed, D-Reaper. Cause, we're taking you down! Here and now! Prepare for the real smack down!"
"Is that so? You've managed to ascend you're next level of power. I'm impressed, but I will still grind you into the ground. I won't even break a sweat."
"Just bring it."
Earth. West Shinjuku
The digimon were not looking so hot against the ADR at the very moment. Every digimon, from Stingmon all the way to War Growlmon, were drained like never before.
The Tamers and the Destined look on with sudden shock across their faces. Takato stood by as he held onto his D-Ark. Rika stepped forth as well with her D-Ark in one hand. Henry came next, followed by Jeri. Sora held onto her digivice, as did Mimi, Cody, Yolei Joe and Ken.
The ADR looks down upon the drained digimon as it started to tilt its head in confusion. War Grolwmon stepped forth and made his way over towards the spawned drone.
"You got a staring problem, punk!" War Growlmon exclaimed, "Because if you think we're going down that easily then your sadly mistaken! We shall not be defeated!"
"Careful, War Growlmon! You don't want to piss it any further," said Sonja, "Besides, it's able to copy our attacks."
"But that doesn't mean we can at least try to stop it!" Rapidmon exclaimed, "I'm not about to do down in defeat at the hands of this freak!"
"Guys! We better pull our asses together! This argument isn't going together us anymore in beating this thing," stated Leomon, "Lets face it! We're going to have to try to reach our mega forms."
"Leomon and myself are able to reach our mega forms," said Lillymon, "However, the Tamer's digimon are able to pull off that trick. You three have the power."
"Don't count me in," Ryo said. "Cyberdramon has yet to realize that level of power."
"You hear that, Tamers! It's time for you three to bio-merge with your digimon again!" Sonja calls out.
"Right! This might be our only chance of beating this thing, if we can bio-merge and go mega," said Takato, "So are you guys ready?"
Rika and Henry both nodded in agreement with the goggle boy's statement. They all held up their D-Arks and pointed them up, as if they were anticipating for the arrival of beams of energy to reflect upon their D-Arks, but to no avail.
"I don't get it! Nothing is happening!" Takato exclaimed, "What is going on! How come we can't bio-merge with our digimon!"
"Do you guys get it? We're not able to bio-merge with our digimon because we're not data anymore. When we were in the digital world, we were completely made out of data. But since we left, we are back to our flesh and bone forms," replied Henry.
"But how are the other Digi-Destined still able to merge with their digimon in this world?" Rika asked.
"I'm guessing since they're fusion forms were already exposed to the environments in the two world, and the digital world I am referring to is their digital world, now that we've just departed. In fact, the fusion warriors are already experienced and we only merged with our digimon once."
"Um, make that twice for me," Takato remarked.
"But still. Our bodies are not so used to merging with our digimon and all of that power disappeared as soon as we came back here. Looks like our digimon has to fight this thing even the power to bio-merge. We're sitting ducks basically."
"But, we have to do something! Our digimon aren't going to last much longer out there! That drone could finish them off," Takato said.
"Snap out of it, goggle head! Just because they are ultimate-level doesn't take away their chances of winning. Lets not forget who we're fighting for…"
"For the people that we love and care about…"
"That's right. Now enough of the water treatment," said Rika, "It's time to get serious."
"She's right about that one, Takato," Sora said, "Don't give up just right when we are losing momentum. That doesn't necessarily mean that we will lose."
"But, none of us can bio-merge. The only ones who can digivolve into mega now are Leomon, and Lillymon. That drone is much too strong for us, but they should be able to take it."
"Listen to them, Takato. Don't let fear overcome you," Yolei said, "Hell, I've been through many monsters in the past and I've managed to overcome them."
"That's right," replied Ken, "I was able to combat the darkness by using my positives to overcome the negatives. That is what you need to do in order to ensure victory in this struggle… the struggle to live, fight and survive against the inevitable."
Takato looked down at the ground while holding onto his D-Ark. He then looks right over to War Growlmon and quickly rises to his feet.
"Alright! That's enough! We can't let this things scare us any longer! We've overcome the Devas, King Devimon, Dark Magimon, Beelzebumon and even the Sovereign himself. This is only one drone and our chances of winning are just as great as our many encounters with strong foes in the past. War Growlmon. It's time to put the fear and shame aside and do whatever it takes to beat this thing! Go for it!"
War Growlmon responded as he let out a raging scream that was enough to send the chills down the spines of many souls. ADR-03 started tilting its head as it goes maneuvering around the towering ultimate. War Growlmon goes swiping at it, but the spawned drone was able to phase away from each blade swipe.
"No! War Growlmon! You almost had him!
But just as War Growlmon was regaining momentum and gaining a rush of adrenaline, the ADR powered up and unleashed a red beam that was strong enough to send the half-cybernetic monster falling down onto the ground.
As soon as that happened, Takato also started to stumble away. And due to his mental connection with his digimon partner, he was holding his chest as if he were in not just physical pain but mental as well. The Destined and the Tamers looked on with shock as the boy was down on his knees.
ADR-03 made its move right over towards Rapidmon and Taomon. They both tried attacking it with a barrage of their own trademark attacks, but the ADR was able to maneuver from everyone one of their attacks. Then it took its time in powering up its attacks and unleashed missiles upon Rapidmon.
Henry also shared the same fate as Rapidmon as he started to go staggering back.
"Henry! What's happened to you!" asked Sora.
"We're connected to our digimon unlike you Destined are. Since our digimon are in their ultimate-level forms, we share the same fighting will to defeat our enemies," said Takato, "Each time our digimon feel pain, then we will fall and realize the pain that they are going through."
"I've seen this before when Tai and War Greymon fought Burizalor many years ago!" Joe exclaimed. "War Greymon was taking shots from that bastard, and Tai was somehow able to feel those effects."
The ADR started to spin itself around and started to pummel Taomon away with its scythes. She lets out a horrifying scream and goes flying back right next to the fallen Rapidmon.
Rika was pushed back after feeling the side effects of Taomon's falls. She clutched her shoulder and falls to her knees much like the Tamer boys were.
"This is looking bad! What are we going to do now?" Joe asked.
"Our digimon can't go mega!" said Cody. "But Mimi and Jeri's can!"
"He's right! Let's do it, Jeri!" Mimi said.
"Hang on guys! We're going to lend you a hand!" Jeri called out.
But just as she was about to pull our he evolution card, something came shooting out from the skies above and it struck ADR-03 dead on. This managed to catch the attention of both the Tamers and the Destined. They looked up to see who had shot down the blast. The Tamers and their digimon gasped as they saw who it was.
A dark, winged figure with a large gun was hovering in the eyes and looking down upon them with cruel intentions. But instead of facing the Tamers, he had his full attention on ADR-03.
Takato looks up and then takes a good look at whom he saw. He could easily identity the mystery figure hovering in the skies and looking down from above. It was…
"Beelzebumon. What is he doing here?" the goggle boy wondered.
Rika gasped while looking up to the same cold-hearted monster that almost tried to murder her and Renamon during the incident over at the digimon arena before Megidramon's awakening.
"Tamers! If its help you want. Then it's help that you will receive," the winged demon lord announced with a nonchalant-like voice.
Beelzebumon's eyes grew a pure, crystal green as he started to charge up his weapon to begin his attack on the floating ADR drone.
"Let's dance, bitch."
Looking from behind a tree, Pikkan took a glance at Beelzebumon and felt his ki. The alterian concealed his ki to make certain that none of the children figure out his whereabouts. However, Jeri noticed him slightly and this took Pikkan right off his game.
"I wonder who's behind that tree. It seems someone is watching us."
"Who Jeri?" Leomon asked.
"I'm not sure. I could be just seeing things."
"I don't sense a ki."
"That's why I said that I could be just seeing things. It's not a big deal."
Pikkan's eyes widened as he placed his hands over his mouth. He was stunned that a human girl was able to find his whereabouts. Despite all this, he was relieved that Jeri didn't inspect his whereabouts.
"Whew… Thank god…"
Time Chamber
D-Reaper stared right down over towards the ever-so powerful ascended War Dramon. The fused warrior stood looking formidable and created a haloed energy around himself. Buddamon watched on with a ecstatic tone in his voice and clenched his fists in sheer anticipation.
"Yes! This is it! Now that's the potential power that I'm talking about, Daikeru! Now it's time to use it against the D-Reaper! Show her what you are truly made of!"
"We'll prove our medal…"
War Dramon quickly gets into a fighting stance. He was prepared to do battle against the D-Reaper before the monster would even have a chance to make its move. D-Reaper gasped as War Dramon held out his hand and a disc-like saucer beam formed in the palm of his hands.
The fused warrior goes extending his right arm in the air, tracing out the source of the disc's energy and holds it out with an intense look on his face.
"Donut Halo Encircle!"
War Dramon cried out as he tosses the disc over towards the monster. War Dramon widens his arms grasp and controls the movement of the disc. D-Reaper simply stood as if nothing were bothering here, not even the halo energy disc that was floating all around her.
Suddenly, the power behind their attacks was causing the entire Time Chamber to erupt and tremble from the sudden tremors.
War Dramon brought his fists together and watched as the ringed beam was starting to constrict the D-Reaper as if it were trying to suck and rain the life out of her energy. D-Reaper starts to struggle and gag for air as the ring started to squeeze in between her body. War Dramon does as much as they could to give the ring more power to constrict his adversary.
"All right! Victory at last! Score one for the good guys!"
"Not so fast…"
"What!"
War Dramon turns around and watched as D-Reaper's frown turns into that of a sadistic grin. With tremendous power and speed, the D-Reaper was able to push away the tight ring and break through the barrier. She goes and blasts her way right through it.
The fused warrior was taken back by this and shocked by the turn of events. War Dramon began a nervous laughter. Eventually, he starts boasting.
"Shoot! We'd know that something like this would happen. Geez!"
D-Reaper stretched her neck and started to power up. She then spoke up to break the sudden silence that was occurring within the time chamber.
"Now are you done? Because I do believe that it is my turn. It's my turn to stop you're momentum, warrior."
With that said, D-Reaper goes charging forth against her enemy. War Dramon leaped into the air, in order, to elude her for now. However, D-Reaper was there to stop by kicking him and sending War Dramon sailing far up into the skies above. Before War Dramon received anytime to recover, D-Reaper was above them and kicks them down ward. War Dramon managed to right himself just before he went plummeting into the ground. He soon landed to the ground and came face to face with the D-Reaper. Unable to react quickly, D-Reaper delivered a fist to War Dramon that sent him sailing backward and colliding with Buddamon near the entranceway of the time chamber.
D-Reaper stands there while smirking and punching the air around her. Then she delivers a kick and gets into a fighting pose. She goes and stands still, waiting for her adversary to recover.
Earth. East Shinjuku
A number of ADR-02s are seen patrolling some empty streets in search of data supplements. However, they did not find any signs of a digimon. Instead, they received an unexpected surprise by a woman with spiked-up blue hair, a black-red bodysuit and golden eyes. The woman gave an evil grin as she forms a laser sword in her hand, which looked similar to a Jedi's light saber.
"You dare ruin me and Tenchi's plans on a perfect weekend? I will not stand for it. Let's rock."
With that said, Ryoko disappears and reappears above the horde. The ADRs were taken by surprise by Ryoko's sudden phasing. Ryoko cried out and slashes through the cords of the ADR horde. Ryoko disperses her sword and wipes her hands clean. The hordes disintegrate as a result of Ryoko's attack.
"Well, Miss Ryoko. Are you having a good time playing with these things?" a woman's voice calls out.
Ryoko looks up to find a purple-haired woman sitting on top of a water tower. The woman sits up and claps arrogantly.
"Why, thank you, Ayeka," Ryoko muttered.
"By the way, I couldn't resist when I heard you mention Tenchi. He's not you're man."
"Oh yeah? Want to make something of it?"
"Yes, I do. I was just informed by Mrs. Washu that a group of children are taking care of this sudden invasion."
"Children? So, we shouldn't even intervene."
"For now, until the situation gets worse."
"I see. Damn, I never get to have any fun."
Another ADR came approaching behind Ryoko, until the woman forms another laser sword and slashes it's cord without turning back.
"Oh well, it's back to seducing Tenchi for me."
West Shinjuku
Beelzebumon was hovering in the skies above and had his eyes set on the ADR. A satisfied grin came across his face and he held his gun out. He then looked around to see the digimon staring up at him.
"What? Don't give me those looks. What do you think I'm going to do?"
"Heh! Who knows! Maybe kick us around while we're down!" Rapidmon remarked, "That's typical of you."
"Beelzebumon! What are you even doing here anyways?" Takato asked.
"Hey! Hey! What do you think I'm doing? I'm not just flying here for the heck of it. I've come to help."
"But how can we even trust you!" the goggle boy exclaimed.
"I don't care if you trust me or not. But I'm here to help whether you like it or not. I don't even care if you don't trust me either. But I'm going to do what it takes to beat this goof here. Now, all of you step aside…"
"Beelzebumon! What makes you think that you can win?" asked Taomon.
"I can handle this, fox face. What you need to do is recover. Got it? Alright, now its time to get down to some business!"
"Show off. He could at least let Leomon and I digivolve to mega," Lillymon stated with a sweat drop coming down her forehead.
(Play Kid Rock's "American Bad Ass")
Beelzebumon flew down towards the ADR and held out his gun toward it. The drone merely tilted its head with a questionable look on its face.
"So, you think your hot stuff? Well, your little victory is ending right here, needle nose. So you can look at me with that stupid little face of yours, because I intend on taking you down! Al right, bring it on! I'm begging ya!"
The ADR had heard enough of the demon lord's taunts and goes charging right for Beelzebumon. But just as it was about to blast him, Beelzebumon quickly fazed away in the speed of light. The digimon were just as surprised.
"Whoa! Did you see that!" Henry exclaimed, "He just moved at the speed of light. Well, close to it. I couldn't even see where he went."
"Look! Up there!" Ankylomon cried out, "He's behind it!"
"What! But I was barely able to detect his movements," said War Growlmon.
"Geez and I thought I was fast. Beelzebumon is like a freakin' flash of light! He probably took lessons from The Flash!" said Rapidmon.
"Please, The Flash would outrace him," Henry replied.
"Over here, needle nose! I've got your number right here!"
The ADR quickly turns around as Beelzebumon held out his gun right in front of him. The gun powered up and the two hooks spread out with bolts of electricity running through it.
"By the way, just before you die, I've got a little present here for you! I hope you enjoy it!"
The ADR simply ignored the demon biker's taunts and goes charging over towards the winged mega. Beelzebumon's positron gun powered up and a large energy ball filled with electrical energy was forming massively. The digimon watched in anticipation and were sensing a very strong ki from the winged demon lord.
"Beelzebumon is stronger than before," said Taomon, "His ki has reached to new heights! He has a chance!"
"But how? How was he able to amount himself to this level of power?" Leomon pondered, "There has to be a reason why."
Taomon quickly remembered to when Impmon had said that he left his partners before leaving off on his way.
"Yes, it makes sense. He has Tamers of his own," Taomon said.
"What? But he has no partners, doesn't it," Takato said.
"You're wrong. He does have partners and it is his love for his partners that has allowed him to digivolve. His will to protect them has made him stronger. Beelzebumon isn't here to save us but to protect his partners," Taomon explained.
"Ah, I see your point. Well lets still hope he's on our side," said Stingmon.
"Come and get some, needle nose! Here's you're going away present! Have a nice day…"
Beelzebumon's positron gun powered up a massive electrical ball and he quickly shouts out the name of his attack.
"DEATH SLINGER!"
Beelzebumon shoots out a large, electrical ball that was hurtling out over towards the ADR, but the drone was able to maneuver away for a moment, but it was able to pierce through its cord. A smirk forms across Beelzebumon's face as he looks back over his shoulder to the other digimon.
"Alright guys! He's weakened! Take him down!"
"This is our chance!" Taomon cried out, "Maybe without the cord, that drone stands no chance!"
"Lets do it!" Stingmon exclaimed.
"Talisman of Light!"
"Rapid Fire!"
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Blast Rings!"
"Spiking Strike!"
"Fist of the Beast King!"
"Desolation Claw!"
"Atomic Blaster!"
Sonja cups her hands together and then releases an energy blast to go along with the other digimon's attacks.
All of these attacks collided with the ADR as a huge explosion occurred and the blasts made perfect contact with the drone. As soon as the explosions faded away along with the cloud of smoke, the ADR-03 drone was quickly dissolved into a puddle of chaos mass that shriveled up dust mass.
"Yeah! We did it!" the Tamers shouted.
"All thanks to Beelzebumon. Thank you," Taomon said.
"Hey! I didn't come here to save you. I did it to protect Ai and Makoto. Got it? Lets not jump into any conclusions."
(End theme)
"Right. Whatever you say."
Later that day, the digimon all gathered with the Destined and the Tamers with Beelzebumon facing them. The digimon were quite impressed at his new appearance and his extremely high ki level.
"Beelzebumon. You look different. What happened? Did you receive some sort of upgrade?" Rika asked.
"No. I don't know what happened but I'll tell you this. It was the will to protect my tamers and to will to be the very best that has caused me to develop some rather shabby guns and this gun isn't so bad. I think I'm going to enjoy this form."
"So, how does it feel to help others than yourself, Impmon?" Rapidmon asked.
"Hey! Are you blind or something? Wake up and smell the coffee! I'm not Impmon. I'm Beelzebumon. This is my true form. Blast Mode, baby! I totally kicked some drone behind! And that was just the appetitizer! I still haven't shown my full power."
"Ok, whatever you say… Impmon!"
The group all started to laugh, but Beelzebumon was becoming infuriated as he took offend to Rapidmon's remarks.
"Hey! I'm not Impmon! I'm Beelzebumon! I should ahve let the D-Reaper delete you instead of coming by to save your… Oh wait, that was supposed to be a joke right? I was supposed to laugh? Whoops, didn't know that. I have to get used to the wise ass remarks from you guys."
"Yeah, just don't quit your day job," said Takato.
The groups all shared a laugh and were now celebrating over the fact that one ADR was defeated. However, this was only the tip of the iceberg. There were plenty of more drones out there that are stronger. The Tamers will need to find a way to help their digimon digivolve into their mega forms, but where could they find that source?
Pikkan has seen enough and decides to take his leave from the scene. Jeri turns and finds Pikkan walking away. She began to wonder who this mysterious warrior was.
"I'll find out a little more about you, mystery man. I need to know whos side you really are on."
Elsewhere from the scene, there loomed a dark shadow behind a nearby tree. No, it was not Pikkan since he departed from the scene. The figure looked like a human girl in black attire. The girl slowly walked away and faded out.
Time Chamber.
War Dramon was on the ground as he slowly got up onto his feet. He turned his attention over towards D-Reaper and gave her a serious glare. Buddamon was about down and out with a glazed look on his face. War Dramon sits up and then walks back over towards the battleground to once again face off against the D-Reaper.
"C'mon. I don't have all day, warrior. Let's get this over with. Give me your best shot."
As D-Reaper was beckoning the fused warrior, War Dramon went flying off towards D-Reaper and starts tearing at her with a fury of punches. They sparred for a few moments before the D-Reaper knocked him away with a simple kick. War Dramon was sent flying back and plummeting to the ground. D-Reaper goes right after him and goes to attack, but War Dramon recovered just in time. He pulled himself up, pushed himself right up and went flying forwards for his adversary.
D-Reaper didn't have enough time to move away as the two fighters smacked their heads as if they were battering rams. The force of the impact caused them both to go flying back down to the ground. War Dramon goes flipping up over the D-Reaper.
"Yo, D-Reaper! I'm just toying with you! Now I'm going to get serious! Here comes the pain, D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper looks on as War Dramon pressed his hands together and a form of ghostly figures started to appear around War Dramon.
"Super Ghost Kamikaze!"
While both Buddamon and D-Reaper were watching in bewilderment, War Dramon pushed their arms forward and started to unleash a swarm of the ghosts that looked similar to War Dramon himself.
D-Reaper looks on with shock on his face and the face of War Dramon tells it all. He was now confident of winning the battle and beating the D-Reaper. Buddamon was simply overwhelmed by their technique and waited in anticipation of what it could do to the D-Reaper.
War Dramon pushed his arms forward and the ghosts floating all around him started to make their move on the D-Reaper. The ghosts started laughing maniacally while facing D-Reaper, whose face expressed that of shock. Even Buddamon was a loss for words.
"One Vision" plays
With that said, the ghosts all started to float towards the D-Reaper and they encircled her. D-Reaper screamed out as one of the ghosts delivers a punch to her face. But then, the D-Reaper retaliates by swinging her arm and striking it. But at that very same moment, that single ghost smiled and quickly self-destructed in front of D-Reaper. Then each ghost responded by self-destructing all around the D-Reaper. The monster cried out in horror as the explosions surrounded her. Then a large explosion occurs, which was pretty clear that the ghosts were merely used as kamikaze weapons.
War Dramon and Buddamon watched in anticipation as the smoke cloud was billowing upwards. Buddamon was able to shield himself from the blasts. As soon as the smoke cleared away, the D-Reaper was still standing with her arms crossed. But she looked in pretty rough shape with several bruises and marks inflicted on her body. She was completely stunned at what had just happened.
"Ha. You just don't get it, D-Reaper. Those ghosts were self-destruction mechanisms. Even with the slightest touch, they will explode right in your face. We demonstrated that for you just a second ago. So, what do you think? Disappointed?"
"Daikeru! It's time to end this quick! D-Reaper is weakened! Now is the time to attack!" exclaimed Buddamon.
War Dramon responded as he pushed his hands out together and used the technique once again. But this time, he sends out twenty ghosts instead of a few.
"Kamikaze ghosts! Into formation! Now!"
The ghosts were all lined up as if they were soldiers with War Dramon as the lead general in command. They all each extended their hands out.
"Quit wasting time, Daikeru! Attack now! The D-Reaper is about to recover!"
But as soon as he said this, the D-Reaper had already recovered and was filing her nails away. War Celesta glares over at her and raises his fists angrily.
"I swear that will be the last time that you will ever file your nails as long as we're still around! Attack my kamikaze ghosts! Bring the demon down and show her no mercy!"
With that said, six ghosts all flew out towards the battleground and were flying towards D-Reaper. They each gathered at two corners. There are three on one side and three on the other side. They all streaked over to attack her. But the D-Reaper was able to see this coming and quickly jumped away. This caused the three clones to collide with each other as a result and explode with one another.
"Bah! That attack was very pathetic! C'mon, warrior. Do you have anything else left in the tank? C'mon! I dare you to attack me with something a little better."
"Damn you!"
"Ah, but I know that you won't be stupid enough to pull off that same trick again. You're just wasting your efforts."
"Ghosts! Time for a new strategy! Huddle up!"
D-Reaper watched as War Dramon gathered around with the ghosts. D-Reaper's eyes were widened in shock and disbelief at how ridiculous her opponent has turned out to be. But she wasn't ready to underestimate them just yet; she knew that the kamikaze ghosts had done her at first hand.
"I wonder what they're strategizing. I hope they will turn out to be a great challenge for me. I hope they don't disappointment, because if they do, this will turn out to be a really big disappointment. Bah, no matter. I'll ensure victory no matter the outcome."
Buddamon watched on with clenched fists and a determined look on his face. He had almost wished to lend War Dramon a hand but knew that he would just get himself in the way between the two powerful warriors. His power was nowhere near their very high-elevated level of power, so he decided to remain on the sidelines.
"I better leave this to the hands of Takeru and Daisuke. It seems that they have a plan in mind. I just hope it's affective enough to put the D-Reaper away for good."
Earth. West Shinjuku
Reports have now been coming in that the blob mass has not only started to spread in the city of West Shinjuku, but also other parts of the world as well. However, it was only appearing only in the major cities of the world. That even included the large cities in the United States as well.
Kari's Apartment
Ken, Yolei, Mimi, Sora and Joe were looking on through the television set. The digimon were worried. The D-Reaper mass was growing and Demon still hasn't exposed himself out in public yet.
"This is a total mess! First, we still haven't heard anything from Tai and the others. Now this!" Joe exclaimed. "Izzy has been with those Hypnos people. What are going to do?"
"There's no telling how much longer the mass will spread," ken replied. "I just got back speaking with Ryo. He said he would scope the situation in the city."
"Isn't that dangerous? He'll be in the line of fire," Sora pointed out.
"As long as he has Cyberdramon, then he shouldn't have any problems," Wormmon stated.
"Still, our digimon were unable to pierce through a single agent until Beezlzebumon arrived to reveal their weakness. We'll know to cut the cords next time," said Hawkmon.
"And here we spent all that time blasting that thing with everything we have," replied Mimi. "Palmon has been able to digivolve into a mega."
"Joe! Don't you think it's my time to digivolve?" Gomamon asked. "I could go for some fish fillet."
"What do I look like a super market supervisor? There isn't a market open at a time like this!"
"It was just a suggestion. We really need to digivolve to mega for this battle."
"I say we stay put," Sonja's voice calls out from the other side. "Even my ki blasts were repelled by that agent. The digimon have been through an exhausting battle."
"That's easy for you to say. You're an artificial," Biyomon pointed out. "You don't run out of energy."
"Does it make any difference? You guys need to conserve you're strength. As far as I know, the Tamers are out to investigate the situation. I'm sure they're digimon are well-fed and ready to take another horde."
"Since we know about the cord weakness, why don't you go out and aid them?" Sora asked.
"There's no need. I'm sure the Tamers can handle it. They're a resourceful bunch. Besides, I'm still waiting for Davis to return. How I miss him…"
"It's on you're hands, Tamers. Only you can hold these things at bay until the others return," Ken stated.
West Shinjuku Bridge
The Tamers quickly feared for the worst and realized that they will have to find a way to bio-merge with their digimon, even if it means to stop the D-Reaper at any opportunity possible. Their world was at stake just as are the two digital worlds.
"The sovereigns were unable to stop. We've got two worlds in danger of being wiped out. What more can we do if we can't bio-merge with our digimon? I find it literally impossible to defeat the drones if only one gave us a lot of trouble," Takato said to himself. "We're going to have to find the source of power that will enable us to bio-merge. If only we could… No that's stupid. This is going to be much more difficult than I thought."
"Hey, Takatomon? What's wrong?"
Takato quickly broke out of his frozen state of mind and found himself sitting on a bench over at the park. Guilmon was sitting next to his partner with a questionable look on his face.
"Oh nothing, boy. I'm just thinking of a way for us to bio-emerge again. It seems impossible since I'm not data anymore. If only we had gone back, we would have bio-merged and found a way to fight the drones while still in our mega form."
"So, I guess wishing for it won't do us any good."
"I guess not. I don't know what we're going to do."
"Don't give up hope, Takatomon. Something will eventually come around. I just know it."
"I hope you're right. But all this hoping is still not going to get us anymore… We're basically sitting ducks even if Beelzebumon is on our side now."
Looking on from a far distance stood a shadowy girl with black attire and a quadruped figure standing next to her. It had a canine-appearance. It had a long snout and some rather distinctive straight, pointed ears. They and their eyes locked onto both Takato and Guilmon while overhearing their conversation.
Outside the Digital World.
Angewomon's power-up continued as Gosenzomon was still working away at transferring his energy into the ultimate. The others were looking on and waiting wearily as time passed by. Agumon felt something wrong and looked over to Shintomon.
"I can't even sense D-Reaper's ki. Heck, I can't even sense both Imperialdramon and War Angemon anymore. What's the deal?"
"Yeah, what does that mean? They're not dead, are they?" asked Kari.
"Kari! We can't think like that!" Tai exclaimed.
"No. They're still alive, but I have a good feeling that they are within a room that is beyond space and time," replied the Supreme guardian.
"Ah! I see! They're in the time chamber!" exclaimed Tai, "But how were they able to enter without going into the realm of the four guardian digimon from the our digital world?"
"With Buddamon's ability to open portals, this is nothing new for him. So he is able to have access to very single portal available throughout the three worlds."
"Oh. That's neat," Kari said.
"Yes, but I have no idea of Buddamon's reasoning behind it. It must be a plan to lure D-Reaper in," Shintomon said.
"Well, we better take a good look at Angewomon now, because I'm sensing a very powerful ki from her. That power-up is really paying off like Gosenzomon said," Agumon stated.
"It would seem so, but lets just hope Gosenzomon gets done soon before the D-Reaper starts to mount a comeback," Shintomon said, "We can't allow the D-Reaper being to enter into the human realm again. Only then would the chaos mass start to spread due to the being's presence."
They each nodded their heads and sat around while waiting for Angewomon's power-up to become completed. There were only about thirteen hours left before the full power-up was complete. All they could do was hope for War Dramon to keep the D-Reaper busy a little while longer.
Digital World. Time Chamber.
The battle continues to wage on as War Dramon calls out to several of the ghosts and points his finger out directly to D-Reaper as if giving them an order to attack the monster. Four more ghosts go flying right towards D-Reaper, who was simply standing around with a rather disappointed look on her face.
But just as the ghosts encircled her, they clapped their hands together and managed to all explode at once in front of D-Reaper. Her screams could be heard as smoke was starting to engulf her. Now there were only ten ghosts left.
"C'mon, ghosts! You aren't even doing anything to affect her! All right! We're down with ten! Nine of you head out and explode to distract her momentarily! Number ten, you're our trump card! All right, move out!"
With that said, the nine ghosts flew out towards the D-Reaper, who was beginning to regain her composure after having six clones executing kamikaze techniques right in front of her. As soon as she regained her senses, she gasped when the nine ghosts exploded with a massive force of energy to go along with it.
"All right! That should be enough to slow her down!" exclaimed War Dramon, "Number ten, stay put. We will wait for the best opportunity to make our next move."
Soon as the smoke was starting to clear away, the D-Reaper was exposed and was still standing. However, her body was almost completely melted away. A nonchalant grin forms across War Dramon's face. Buddamon could only look on with shock on his face.
"Number ten! Go inside through her mouth and we can sure take her out when you explode from the inside! Now go! This might be our last chance!"
"What! Can this really work!" Buddmaon exclaimed, "It has to! There is no other way. I doubt the D-Reaper will even survive this!"
The last remaining ghost goes flying out towards the D-Reaper and enters her mouth. D-Reaper began to choke and watched as her belly began bloating up. Her body was beginning to become filled up as a ray of bright energy was piercing right through her body. As soon as that occurred, the D-Reaper couldn't withstand the explosion within her and she blew up. Buddamon and War Dramon look on with astonishment and shock, as the D-Reaper was now nothing more than a puddle of slime.
"Yes! Way to go, War Dramon! We have now taken care of one D-Reaper problem!"
"Yes, and we shall now bring our attention to the real world. The others need our help."
"Al right. We should really inform this to Shintomon first and let them know of outcome of the battle."
"Al right. You do that."
"Hey, Davis Can you believe it! We actually did it!"
"TO. I don't know what to say. We've done it. We've saved the fate of the two digital worlds. We actually did it. Heh, I knew my plan would work. You accuse me of having hair brain schemes, well who's the man now? We laid the good ol' smack down."
"Oh brother."
"Don't hate me because I'm smarter than you think."
But just as they were all beginning to celebrate, the slime residue left was now beginning to glow profusely with a purple glow and there was a low humming sound coming from each pulsation within the ooze. It slowly started to transform into pieces of the chaos mass itself.
Earth. West Shinjuku
The three Tamers met up with each other over at the West Shinjuku bridge while discussing the issues concerning the D-Reaper, the chaos mass and their inability to bio-merge with their digimon at this very moment.
"That drone was tougher than we thought. I never really imagined how much power one could receive just from the chaos itself. I'm afraid we're facing something that will require everyone's participation," said Henry, "For example, the only digimon who can go into mega-level at this very time are Leomon and Lillymon, because the others are still in the digital world training and stopping the other entity of the D-Reaper. Everyone else have weaker-level digimon and they aren't able to digivolve to mega."
"That's a good explanation. Now here's another question," Takato said, "What can we do to stop the D-reaper here in our world. You got to understand that even one drone took out an entire army of champions and ultimates. We would have lost if Beelzebumon hadn't shown up."
"I'm just frustrated over the fact we can't even bio-merge with our digimon. Our chances of beating the drones are little to none. Renamon, what you think?"
"Even if we are unable to bio-merge into mega, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm still breathing, I'm going to fight the D-Reaper, no matter what it takes."
"Normally, I would choose to take a long vacation and make myself a bologna sandwich, but in this case. If we don't stop the drones, then there won't be any more places for us to hide. We can't just hide and let those bullies get the best of us."
"Right. I want to be able to eat more bread. I won't let the D-Reaper and those drones take away my chances of living. Takatomon, we will fight back. No matter what the outcome, I'll still be at your side."
"Thanks, boy. Hey, do you guys hear something?"
Guilmon began sniffing the air as Renamon and Terriermon both felt some strong kis from a nearby location. The Tamers looked around their surroundings but failed to find anything peculiar.
"What is it, boy?"
"There's some dangerously high powers coming this way," Guilmon said while growling under his breath.
The red dinosaur pointed out towards the left direction and saw nothing. Takato came running up to see that nothing was there. But then screams could be heard from the far distance, the Tamers gasped and were able to follow the screams. However, the digimon were able to sense what was heading their way. They looked ahead as several bubble-shaped creatures with a blue pigmentation and small, yellow beady eyes were heading their way.
"I'm willing to bet that those are more drones!" exclaimed Henry.
"Takato! Time for us to digivolve!"
"Right! Lets go!"
The Tamers pull out their D-Arks and their evolution cards as quickly as possible. The digimon were cutting off the path off the drones, which allowed their partners more time to slash and activate their cards.
"We'll hold them off! You guys get the cards ready!" exclaimed Renamon.

"Card Slash! Super Evolution Plug-In S!"

"Guilmon shinka! Growlmon!"
"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
"Renamon shinka! Kyuubimon!"
Just as the bubble drones were making their way over towards the Tamers, the three champions stood in their way and started firing away their attack at them.
"Fox Tail Inferno!"
"Gargo Laser!"
"Pyro Blaster!"
These attacks all nailed the drones and were enough to dissolve the bubble creatures. It seems these were weakest forms of the drones, since their skin was easy to penetrate and it allowed the digimon to easily kill them off.
"Hey! Look! There's somebody coming our way!" exclaimed Rika.
"What! Is that… a human!" Takato said as he pointed out towards the person heading their direction.
Out from the shadows, a girl wearing nothing but black clothing was running towards their direction. She had also blonde hair, angelic blue eyes and somewhat pale skin. Running up behind her looked to be a large canine. In fact, it looked very much like that of a Doberman breed.
"There's a really large running up behind her!" Growlmon cried out, "I wonder who they are!"
But their questions would have been saved for later because the girl and the dog already rushed right past them. The tamers looked out to find more buddle creatures heading out towards their direction.
"She must have been chased by those drones! Guys, make sure our digimon takes care of them! I'm going to find out who this girl is."
They Tamers nodded as Takato went running after the mysterious blonde girl. Growlmon, Gargomon and Kyuubimon fired away their attacks to bring down the last remaining drones.
"Pyro Blaster!"
"Gargo Laser!"
"Dragon Wheel!"
The drones were easily taken out of commission and the digimon headed over towards the Tamers. They turned their attention back over towards Takato, who was still chasing the girl.
"Hey! Who are you? We just want to talk!"
The girl suddenly trips over the ground and falls almost face first. Takato and the others stop at their tracks. They began to slowly examine the girl and ponder who she might be. It was clear that they haven't seen her before. But what even shocked them more was the fact that a rather, large Doberman was with her.
"Um, are you okay?" Takato asked, "Do we happen to know who? And who is this big… dog? Is he yours?"
The girl responded with a grunt while attempting to rise up to her feet. She sighed and then turned around to face the three Tamers. They looked at her with confusion and bewilderment. They haven't seen this girl and she looked fairly new to be a Tamer. She gave them a rather ghastly, mysterious look.
Digital World. Time Chamber.
("Du Haust" plays)
War Dramon was regaining their senses as he was about to head out through the time chamber door. Buddamon gasped in horror at what he was seeing. War Dramon quickly took notice of this.
"What's wrong, Buddamon? Didn't we get him?"
"Augh… No… turn around…"
War Dramon looks back over his shoulder and his eyes quickly widened at what he was seeing. It was something that made him want to jump right out of his skin.
The pieces scattered all across the ground were starting to pulsate and glow with a dark, misty purple aura. The pieces start to merge together and a familiar figure was reformed after it was all said and done. D-Reaper was back to her complete self. Her limbs and, basically, her entire body were good as new.
War Dramon growled angrily at the reformed D-Reaper and was tightening his fists in sheer anger. He was confident that the plan would have worked but they had no idea that D-Reaper would have regenerated like it did. D-Reaper evilly glares right over towards the two and chuckled.
"Damn it! We should have destroyed his remaining ki! We were much too careless!" exclaimed Buddamon, "We should have destroyed the entranceway and left the D-Reaper in here! There would have been no way for it to escape!"
D-Reaper popped her neck and then started flexing her muscles, in order to get her limbs to become functional after the explosion.
"So, War Dramon. Are you able to still use that clone technique?"
"No… We don't have enough energy to use such a strong attack. That technique required everything that I had within my being."
D-Reaper responded as her arms stretched out and punched War Dramon right into a wall nearby. Buddamon looked on with shock as D-Reaper pulls back her arms as if they were grappling hooks. D-Reaper launched her arms out and delivered a barrage of punches to his face. D-Reaper goes fazing right in front of them with a grin on her face.
"Damn it! Let go of me, D-Reaper. Or else I'm going to kick your sorry ass! Now let go!"
D-Reaper simply smiles and grabs War Dramon. She then tosses War Dramon into the far distance with tremendous force. War Dramon managed to recover in time with an irritated look on his face. War Dramon went to use their ultimate attack. But just as he was about to deliver, Buddamon shot out a blast and destroyed the entrance door of the time chamber.
There was now sudden silence among the three warriors over what had just happened. Now their only way out was gone. The door that would lead them back into the digital world was wasted. D-Reaper was just as shocked as the other two, but then Buddamon began to speak.
"D-Reaper! You're going to be trapped in here. There's no way out for you. Not even your ability to delete will save you. The only things you can do are to kill us and remain in emptiness for all of eternity. Try breaking through this dimension. You can't break through time and space, D-Reaper. Even you have limitations."
D-Reaper gasped at the revelation, however, War Dramon was just as stunned. Buddamon was making a drastic move to finish them all off at once, but would it be in vain?
"No! What the hell are you doing, Buddamon! I can't die! There's also earth that we have save! The other entity of the D-Reaper is still out there. Even if we give up our lives to stop this D-Reaper, we're still screwed as far as stopping the chaos is concerned!"
The three fighters were in complete silence as the room was slowly starting to change and the entranceway was now wasted. There was no way out and the only thing they could do now was pray for their lives.
("Du Haust" ends)
Earth. East Shinjuku
Strolling down the street, Jeri had snuck out of her home with Leomon accompanying her. Calumon flew along to figure out what Jeri was planning to do at a crisis such as this.
"Jeri? Where are we going?" Calumon asked.
"Remember when I said that I saw someone watching us just a while ago?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to find out more about this guy. He might actually be a use for us. We'll need all the help we can have," the girl stated. "You agree, right Leomon?"
"I'm still not sure if we can trust this individual, but I'm not going to argue against you."
"See? We'll convince this guy to help us."
"I hope he's friendly," Calumon replied. "There haven't been many friendly people to come about."
Looking on from a top a billboard, Demon has his eyes locked onto Jeri. He conceals himself, before Leomon has a chance to detect his ki.
"Excellent. That girl seems to be aware of Pikkan's whereabouts. It's time I put a stop to this."
Earth. West Shinjuku
The girl stared over to the three Tamers and was able to speak up to break the sudden silence.
"So, you three must be the Tamers, right? We've been searching all over for you."
"What? You've been searching for us?" Takato asked, "What do you want from us?"
"You three are needed to stop the current threat. The current threat known as the chaos."
"But why us? We're not strong enough to defeat even the drones themselves," said Henry.
"Yes. That is why I was sent here to help you. Dobermon and I were sent here…"
"To do what?" asked Rika.
Dobermon quickly replied to the girl's question with a rather, deep raspy voice.
"…To deliver a message…"
"A message? What kind of message?" Takato asked.
But just as they were about to have their questions answered, an explosion occurred behind them and half of the bridge was blown away. Just then, a large creature came popping out and was a larger version of the bubble creature but this one had larger limbs. The digimon stood in their Tamer's path and felt a tremendously strong ki coming from the creature.
"Takato! You stay back! We'll take care of this!"
"Rika, we're going to need to go ultimate for this one."
"I agree! Henry!"
"Digivolve time!"
The Tamers pulled out their D-Arks and slashed blue cards right through their slots.

"Growlmon matrix shinka! War Growlmon!"
"Gargomon matrix shinka! Rapidmon!"

The three ultimates flew out as they went into battle with the large drone, which was known as ADR-05. Those small bubble creatures were ADR-04. The digimon started out by firing their trademark attacks at the ever-so powerful drones.
"Radiation Blade!"
"Thousand Spells!"
"Tri-Beam!"
But just as the attacks made contact with the ADRS, the smoke cleared and there wasn't even a single scratch on any of them. The Tamers looked on with horror as ADR-05 shoot out its arms and punched away each of their digimon with tremendous force.
"No! They're not going to be able to withstand that!" exclaimed Takato, "We have to do something to stop those drones!"
"Yes, I know. That's why I am here," the girl said.
"What do you mean? How can you possibly help us?" Rika asked.
"I won't be able to help you, but Dobermon here will."
"Dobermon?"
"Yes. I was sent here by the digimon sovereigns to aid you in the battle against the true enemy."
The ADRs were able to put up shields as the digimon attacked once again. Not even the Talisman of Light or a Tri Beam could put them down. War Growlmon tried tearing off their cords, but was quickly sent flying back to the side by ADR-05.
"Alice. I would like to thank you for being at my side and expressing your kindness. Now I shall return you this favor by aiding the Tamers in the battle."
"I understand…"
Alice looked rather sad at what Dobermon had just said but she knew that it had to be done. She knew that Dobermon had to risk his own life just to aid the Tamers. She felt as if she were about to her best friend at the sametime.
"Goodbye, Alice…"
And with that said, Dobermon goes leaping into the air as the four children looks up. Dobermon's body was slowly starting to dissolve into data.
"Tamers. The sovereigns are locked into battle against the true enemy as we speak. Every single digimon life form has been wiped out. While they do their part, its time to do yours. Now the true enemy has already arrived here, but the true heart of the enemy lies here. It is up to you Tamers. The fate of the worlds lies in your hands…"
Dobermon's body started to dissolve, as he was shattered into two pieces, with a streak of red and blue light leaving a long trail.
"Dobermon…"
The Tamers look up at the streaks of light and knew what they had to do. Then watched as the streaks of light surged around them, changing them and enabling them to bio-merge.
"He's giving us the power to bio-merge," said Henry.
"Yes. Its time to use it," replied Rika.
"Dobermon is right. This is our only chance to defeat the D-Reaper in our world. The digital worlds depend on us. Lets use it," Takato exclaimed, "War Growlmon!"
"Rapidmon!"
"Taomon!"
The Tamers each held their D-Arks up as the data started entering their devices, which activated them and soon their ability to bio-merge with their digimon would come into reality. The digimon looked on with bewilderment while absorbing some of the data itself, which would also enable them to bio-merge. The tables were set and the tide would soon turn against the ADRs.
Now that Alice and Dobermon have given the power of bio-mergenace back to the Tamers, will they be able to defeat the ADR army and defeat the D-Reaper? Will the Tamers overcome Demon's agents? Can War Dramon and Buddamon escape the time chamber before it disappears into eternal darkness? Will the D-Reaper be trapped within the time chamber for all eternity?

War Dramon's Ascension to the Third Level! D-Reaper vs. War Dramon, Round III
Earth. West Shinjuku
There was a news broadcast taking place and it concerned with the D-Reaper Chaos Zone that was infesting the central section of the city of West Shinjuku.
"We interrupt the Power Rangers marathon for this quick news announcement. We just recently received word on the blob mass that is currently infesting the central section of the city of West Shinjuku that appeared late yesterday. We have gotten word one of our colleagues are out in the scene was we speak.
Just then, an anchorwoman had appeared in the scene at the area just a mile from the D-Reaper Chaos zone. She was noticeably wearing a jacket as military was strolling by at the background.
"As you can see, I am usually wearing a jacket because of the cool air that normally comes into our city. However, the temperature here has somehow reached to all new heights and it is starting to get boiling hot. It's even hotter than it was when I reporting over at Iraq years ago when the war took place. It has been like this ever since the mysterious blob mass appeared. It is now believed that the mass might have emitted warmth throughout the environment around here. I'll have more information as soon as I get word from bystanders."
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere. East Shinjuku
The alterian known as Pikkan was standing many yards from the D-Reaper zone. Several thoughts were running through his mind. The first was the fact that he remembered what X had ordered him to do. Yes, he was sent by X as a result to gain some fighting competition. Not only that but Pikkan has been following Demon since day one. He wanted nothing more than to rid himself the very evil that once attempted to destroy his homeland, Alter Prime.

Pikkan is seen training on a mountain and he started off by blowing a gust of wind towards the mountain. Within second, the mountain crumbled before the alterian. He then executes several Thunder Flash Attack techniques towards several more towering hills. The alterian was laying waste to the barren landscape of the once luscious planet known as Alter Prime.
"Pikkan!"
The alterian turned his head at the sound of his name. A grin forms on his face as X was standing yards away.
"Well, what do you want X? Have you come to give me one more one on one duel? If so, then I've been training for this day to arrive. Let's get ready."
"As much as I'd love to, we've got a situation back in Azulongmon's world. That's right. You know what that means."
"You mean? The time has come to finally meet with the children? Yes, so I've heard about the D-Reaper."
"Not just the D-Reaper, but Demon has appeared there. He's pulling the strings on the D-Reaper's growth."
Pikkan's teeth clenched with furious anger at the sound of the demon lord's name. This was the very same monster that nearly laid waste to Alter Prime. Now it was Pikkan's time to gain retribution on Demon.
"He nearly destroyed my race! He only needed to steal our artifacts to gain the tremendous power he's had in possession! I've been training for the day I'd take his head."
"Now is you're chance, Pikkan. Do me this favor and we'll have ourselves one more duel to settle the score."
"Agreed, but I will not develop any relationships with those humans. Got it?!"
"Whatever, you say…"
End of Flashback…
The alterian was distracted, not by Demon but by the girl he laid his eyes upon. Jeri was the only person to catch a glimpse of him during the battle with the agent.
"What does that girl see in me? How was she able to see me when I perfectly camouflaged myself? I'm here to kill Demon, not to get throttled by some human."
Suddenly, Pikkan felt an approaching ki and saw none other than Leomon. He then saw Jeri walking byside him.
"Now's my chance to confront them and stop this bullshit…"
"We'll never find him at this point, Leomon. I say we go back."
"Wait. I feel a high power approaching…"
"Where?!"
With that said, Leomon turned his head and turned to his left side. He reaches for his sword, but not until an electrical blast hits him head-on. Jeri screams out as her partner falls down on the concrete floor. Pikkan flies out towards the fallen champion. Leomon jumps up and moves away after Pikkan smashed his fist into the ground. Leomon pulls out his sword and slashes at Pikkan. The alterian caught it in time and flips Leomon over.
"Why are you following me?! Since when did I deserve to have stalkers on my tail?!" the alterian asked.
"We're not here to stalk you! We're curious to know if you're not an enemy!"
"Be silent! How can such a strong warrior need such a feeble human like her?"
"She has the true heart of a lion. This weak human helped reawaken my power!"
"Is that so? Well, then. Show me this power of yours! Show me!"
"Please! Stop fighting!" Jeri cried out. "Stop it!"
"Why are you crying?" Pikkan asked the frightened girl. "Why?"
"Because we just came here to ask you a simple question! You're the one who attacked us! All we want to know if you're working for this Demon creature!"
"Demon?!" Pikkan said with venom. "What do you know about him?!"
"It's obvious that this monster has been sending agents to kill us," Leomon replied. "Recently, he's been unleashing a horde of these agents. However, we still have another enemy to worry at the moment."
"Yes, the true form of the D-Reaper. This mass is merely a shell," said Pikkan. "I don't sense evil within your heart. Don't mind me. I get very obsessed when it comes to battle."
"so, who are you?"
"I am Pikkan. I'm champion of the Alterian Empire from the Eastern Quadrant of the Digital Universe."
"Eastern Quadrant?"
"As you should know, the Digital Universe is divided into four major quadrants. Below these quadrants are the realms of the Sovereigns. Each of these four realms contains four Sovereigns in each. Above the Sovereigns are as you should know beings known as Higher Ones. Above them are the Supreme Guardians. Shintomon is the only Supreme Guardian left."
"What happened to the other supreme guardians?"
"That information is disclosed for now. Now, let us move onto the next question. Where is Demon? It seems he's managed to conceal his ki."
"He's been in hiding, but he's been scheming."
"That makes him twice as deadly. If he's hiding, then he obviously has a plan in store. I would not make a mistake against this guy."
Suddenly, there was a sudden chill in the air. Jeri trembled from the slight wind breeze. Calumon held onto Jeri's head to make sure the wind doesn't blow him away.
"Whoa! It's getting awfully cold," Calumon remarked. "Culu? What's that?"
Jeri turned around as a bright beam of light blinded her. Pikkan and Leomon felt a strong ki nearby. They tried to investigate, but the bright aura blinded them temporarily. Jeri couldn't see where she was going as a hand reached out and grabbed her. She screams frantically for her digimon partner.
"Leomon! Help!"
"Jeri!"
Pikkan dispersed the light with an energy blast and recovers from the aura's light. He focuses his sight on a familiar, cloaked figure. His fists clenched, as he saw none other than Demon. The demon lord held Jeri in his tight grasp. Calumon attempted to jab Demon, but the demon lord merely waved his hand to send the little one crashing down.
"Demon! You bastard! You let her go, you coward!"
"Pikkan. It's so good to see you, again. Do you remember the last time we met, old friend?"
"Feh, we'll never be friends, asshole. Now let her go!"
Leomon focuses his attention towards the scene. His eyes widened in horror at the sight of his partner held as a hostage. He growls devilishly at Demon.
"Demon! Don't you harm a hair on her!" Leomon exclaimed.
"So, it's a two one on one affair? I really don't like those odds," Demon said. "I don't remember calling that fair?"
"Since when did you ever care about fairness, Demon? What about the time you invaded my home land?!" Pikkan growls. "I a naive child then and you overpowered. Times have changed. Let's settle the score once and for all."
"As much as I'd like to, I have more important matters. In fact, this young piece of human flesh ought to be swell as my next sacrificial lamb."
The duo was horrified by what Demon had just said. Not only was he twisted, but a sick individual willing to take the lives of others just to satisfy his own greed.
"So, I'm guessing you two don't have anything else to say? No insults towards me? Good. I think you two could use a little warm up. So, I prepared you two some opponents before my exit. Tambourinemon! Cymbalmon!"
With that said, the two demons appear from out of a thick cloud. They bowed before Demon. Pikkan and Leomon levitated down to face off against the demon duo.
"If you by chance defeat my henchmen, then you can meet me over at Shinjuku water tower to settle the score. Have fun. I will be waiting for you! Ha! Ha!"
"LEOMON! PIKKAN!"
"Jeri!" the warriors exclaimed.
Demon phased out along with Jeri. Cymbalmon and Tambourinemon encircled the two warriors with sheer pleasure.
"So, are you two ready to die at the hands of the Demon Horde?" Tambourinemon replied. "Demon has given us order to kill you and take you're data. You should feel honored to become apart of our master."
"So, we suggest you surrender. We'd hate having to kill two great warriors like yourselves," Cymbalmon replied. "Becoming apart of Demon is better than death. Why don't you do the smart thing and surrender?"
Pikkan merely laughed at the demon's threats. Leomon readied his sword towards Cymbalmon.
"Me, surrender? I don't know about Leomon, but I'm not about to give myself up to you two pansy boys."
"Believe me, Pikkan. I'm not about to throw in the towel," replied Leomon.
"You two made you're biggest mistakes! Now prepare to die!" Tambourinemon cries out.
The demons charged at the digimon duo. Tambourinemon glides up with Pikkan phasing in front of him. The demon was taken back by the alterian's speed. Pikkan clubs Tambourinemon in the back and prepares to unleash his patented technique. He smashes his fists together and calls out his attack.
"Thunder Flash Attack!"
Pikkan sends down a powerful electrical blast that struck Tambourinemon head on. The demon was unable to withstand such an attack and was eventually wasted into a packet of data. The alterian levitated down to watch Leomon.
"Leomon! This is the end for you!" Cymbalmon cries out.
"No, it's already over my friend."
"What?!"
Within seconds, Leomon was already behind Cymbalmon with his sword drenched with purple blood. Cymbalmon looks down at his lower body and watched as his upper half was sliding off. The demon was not just cut in two, but silenced forever. As a result, Cymbalmon was turned into a shroud of data.
"That takes care of them," Leomon stated. "We have to find Jeri!"
"Heh. I already have a lock on his ki. He's not too far from here. The water tower is not too far from here. Come if you want to get Jeri back."
Pikkan flies off into the distance and speeds off towards the water tower. Leomon sheaths his sword and follows the alterian to the location.
Unaware of what has transpired, the warriors had not realized that the lost data from the defeated duo was still lingering around. The lost data merged together as a new body forms. Standing in the duo's place is a large, overweight green demon with black pants. His face looked like that of a frog and his eyes were glowing a crimson aura.
"The game is not over, boys," the creature hissed.
***************************************************************************************
Time Chamber.
The doorway leading back into the outer digital world was down and out as smoke rising from the spot where Buddamon blasted. War Dramon rushed over to examine the charred debris and his gaping mouth said it all. It was nothing but speechless horror. The D-Reaper was now stuck within the time chamber with no way out, but so were Buddamon and War Dramon.
D-Reaper starts to despair as she realized that she won't cause anymore path of destruction and she won't have a chance to even load the data of anymore digimon just to feed herself and make herself stronger. D-Reaper cried out in complete anguish at the sheer thought and smashed the ground around her.
War Dramon fell to his knees and growled angrily at the thought of being stuck in the time chamber for eternity. He wouldn't be able to return back home and see his families ever again. He would die a cold and lonely death within the time chamber.
"Buddamon! Why did the hell did you do that?! Don't you realize that was our only way out?! Now we can get out of here! We're screwed! We're screwed! Our defeat was a damn joke and we were about to finish D-Reaper off!"
"I… I had to do it…"
"Why?! Don't you realize we got families out there who are worried sick about us?! Don't you realize that once we have beaten the D-Reaper here and now, we could have moved on with our lives?! Huh?! You ever thought of that?!"
"But…"
"Don't butt us, moron! It's your entire fault! We're stuck here and we don't have a way to get the fuck out! You screwed it up! Fix the fucking door now!"
Just as they two were arguing with one another, the D-Reaper was walking about and placed her hands on her head. She moved about and was shaking her head as if she were losing her mind. She was seething and drool was coming down her lips. Both Buddamon and War Dramon took notice of this.
They looked over at her with puzzlement. D-Reaper began clenching her teeth, with anger building up within, and she finally screamed out her take on the situation.
"LET ME OUT NOW! DON'T JUST STAND THERE! LET ME OUT!"
D-Reaper's anger manages to build up her ki and she screams out towards the area, where the exit door once stood. As soon as the echoing sonic scream penetrated the former doorway, it managed to blow knock both Buddamon and War Dramon back. Suddenly, a small circular porthole was formed from where the blast hit. It was leading out to what looks like the real world. D-Reaper and the other two looked over at the hole in complete shock. Buddamon was shocked at what D-Reaper just did. She was able to use her ability to delete any form of dimensional fabric and managed to create a hole for her escape.
As soon as the hole started to shrink away, D-Reaper realizes that this was her only way out. She molds herself thin and drifts right through the small hole. Buddamon and War Dramon rushed over in order to stop him, but they were too late. The porthole had already vanished.
"Damn it! He just went into the real world didn't she?!" asked War Dramon.
"Yes. Unfortunately and we are stuck here. I'd forgotten that the D-Reaper would have the ability to find her way through. She was able to create a hole within the dimensional fabric from here to the digital world."
"What?! You mean when she opened up the hole to destroy the Digital World?!"
"Yes. She deletes any digital matter and this room is contained of digital information. That allowed the D-Reaper to blast a hole right through."
"But how was she able to reach into the real world, again?"
"The time chamber is in the middle of every dimension known. That includes the digital worlds, the dark dimension and even the human realm. And it seems that D-Reaper has managed to break through the inter-dimensional barrier into your world, Daikeru."
"No… It can't be! The Tamers and our remaining fellow Destined are in serious trouble if they are forced to fight both of the D-Reaper entities! Is there anything we can do to escape this time chamber?!"
"I'm afraid not. The door was destroyed because of my incompetence! I was so certain that we could have trapped the D-Reaper here… I'm sorry… Daikeru…"
"Buddamon…"
The panda warrior kneeled down and was sad over the situation and beating himself, not literally. War Dramon simply stood and looks around the empty-spaced time chamber while thinking of a way to get out.
"We're fucking screwed… Heh, then again, I always have Plan B."
****************************************************************************************
Other side of Digital Universe.
Agumon was sitting up while lifting his head up as if he had sensed something. Kari, Shintomon and Tai took notice of this and were wondering what was Agumon sensing.
"What's wrong, Agumon?" Tai asked, "What do you sense? Is it the other Digi-Destined?"
"No. It's D-Reaper. I can still sense her ki, but I can't get any readings from Davis and TK."
"What?! Davis and TK?! That can't be…"
"We don't know for sure, Kari. Remember, they're still within the time chamber and they could still be training for all we know," Tai said, "And since digimon can't sense people's ki within the time chamber, we shouldn't be worrying right now."
"Ugh. Maybe you're right. I'm just worried for those two."
"It's okay. I would be worried if something bad were to happen to them.
"No. I'll tell you what's really happening," Gosenzomon said as he tossed Tai a crystal ball. "Take a deep look into it and you will see where the D-Reaper is currently located."
Gosenzomon was still giving Angewomon the power-up as he was kneeling and concentrating deeply into the female's deep, hidden powers. He planned on bringing them out and using them to bring forth her true, hidden power.
The others looked deep down into the crystal ball and were beginning to get a clear focus over what was really happening. A view of the earth was shown and D-Reaper was standing tall at the former campsite of where the original Digi-Destined first went into the digital. They all gasped at what they just say. Tai and Agumon just realized that D-Reaper was able to break through an inter-dimensional vortex to even make it through into the real world.
"Oh fuck! Impossible! D-Reaper is in the real world, again!" Tai and Agumon exclaimed in unison.
"Huh? That's the campsite where you went on you're first digimon adventure, wasn't it?" Kari asked. "Remember, I was sick for that summer."
"Yeah and wouldn't you believe it? D-Reaper just had to go there! If you can't call this an irony, then I don't know what it!" Tai replied.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Camp of Original Digi-Destined
There was a thin, wispy mist building up from within the campgrounds as a familiar figure came into formation. Then a pile of chaos ooze fell to the ground and began to take shape. After it was said and done, limbs came into being and the D-Reaper was reformed. A satanic grins forms across her face as she found herself in the human realm for the first time. She would soon meet up with the other entity of the D-Reaper and help it defeat the Tamers and the Destined once and for all.
"Back to square one."
All was now going according to her plan, as the destruction of the human realm would soon begin.
****************************************************************************************
Time Chamber.
There was a ton of commotion taking place as echoing screams were being heard, mainly from none other than War Dramon.
The fusion warrior began to scream out his frustrations over at Buddamon and was angry like there was no tomorrow. He couldn't believe that the D-Reaper was able to outsmart them like the way she just did.
"War Dramon! You must stop this damn bickering! We shouldn't be taking this out upon each other at a time like this!"
"So, what are we going to do now genius? You got anything in mind? For all we know, the D-Reaper may have destroyed the earth."
"I got it. Let's try to do what D-Reaper just did. We could break way through an inter-dimensional with the greatest vibrations from your voice just how D-Reaper demonstrated. The only problem was that she also had the ability to tear through data since she is a walking deletion program."
"It's worth a try. Let's go for it."
They stood side by side as they began to scream out from the top of their lungs. Their screams began to echo throughout the time chamber. It was all to no avail. Nothing happened to break through the chamber walls to even create an inter-dimensional porthole.
Buddamon and War Dramon both started to catch their breath. Then they both went and tried out again by screaming out from the top of their lungs, which was enough to give them a sore throat. But they would continue on nonetheless.
"Feh. So much for screaming like a little bitch," War Dramon stated. "Let's try this again…"
*****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku.
Dobermon goes leaping into the air as the four children looks up. Dobermon's body was slowly starting to dissolve into data.
"Tamers. The sovereigns are locked into battle against the true enemy as we speak. Every single digimon life form has been wiped out. While they do their part, its time to do yours. Now the true enemy has already arrived here, but the true heart of the enemy lies here. It is up to you Tamers. The fate of the worlds lies in your hands…"
Dobermon's body started to dissolve, as he was shattered into two pieces, with a streak of red and blue light leaving a long trail.
"Dobermon…"
The Tamers look up at the streaks of light and knew what they had to do. Then watched as the streaks of light surged around them, changing them and enabling them to bio-merge.
"He's giving us the power to bio-merge," said Henry.
"Yes. It's time to use it," replied Rika.
"Dobermon is right. This is our only chance to defeat the D-Reaper in our world. The digital worlds depend on us. Lets use it," Takato exclaimed, "War Growlmon!"
"Rapidmon!"
"Taomon!"
The Tamers each held their D-Arks up as the data started entering their devices, which activated them and soon their ability to bio-merge with their digimon would come into reality. The digimon looked on with bewilderment while absorbing some of the data itself, which would also enable them to bio-merge. The tables were set and the tide would soon turn against the ADRs.
Everything went black and a green beam of data now surrounded Henry. He looked down upon himself as he thought to himself deeply.
"I feel so bad for being so selfish. I learnt martial arts from sensei and I was learning how to fight. I was able to defend myself. But I also learned that fighting was wrong but fighting for a purpose is more important than that. We're fighting something that could very well destroy our world as well as others out there."
As soon as he said this, he was quickly surrounded by a green stream of data and was ready to fuse with his digimon partner.
Bio-Merge Evolution
["One Vision" plays]
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Henry presses his D-Ark against his chest and a green stream of light quickly covered him. Henry came floating down as if he were entering Terriermon's body as they merged together into one.
"Terriermon bio-merge!"
Terriermon's body started to buckle down as a green armor covering was surrounding him. His arms and legs were quickly transformed into large limbs equipped into combat. A large backpack-like covering appeared on the back of his armor. His face quickly evolved through all of his evolutions. First from Terriermon and then into Gargomon. Then into Rapidmon and once again back to Terriermon. Afterwards, a view of Henry's face was shown followed by that of a new head that was dog-like and covered with green armor appeared. The new digimon delivers a spin kick and poses above tall-story buildings.
"Mega Gargomon!"
Everything went black again and this time, Rika was covered in a stream of blue data. She looked down and thought to herself.
"Sometimes, I really do believe that I am the best. To me, being the very best was very important to me and it made my pride stronger. I always had to rely and worry about nothing but myself. Now, I have to worry about other people out there other than myself. Including my own family."
Bio-Merge Evolution
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Rika holds up her D-Ark and quickly presses it against her chest as a stream of blue data quickly shrouded her body. Her hair flew straight up as if a gust of wind was blowing at her and she start to fly freely. Rika seemed to be floating above Renamon as they were beginning to merge.
"Renamon bio-merge!"
Renamon's body started to transform as a puddle of water was down at her feet. Water came at her side and her paws morphed into that of the limb of that a human. The puddle had a reflection of a cherry-blossom and a full moon at the background. Her feet and legs transformed into of a woman. Her shadow appears in the middle of the puddle and a streak of yellow light came swirling around her with flowers. Then her figure was starting to form. An armored chest covering was formed along with a belt buckle with a fox's face imbedded on it. A pair of high-heel boots also came into formation. Her face quickly evolved through very single of her evolutions. First from Renamon then into Kyuubimon. Then into Taomon and once again into Renamon. A view of Rika's face was shown and then a woman with a fox-face mask was shown. The new figure goes flipping up with a golden staff in one hand. As soon as she came landing down, she stood in the center of a neon-blue light and stood out in a pose.
"Sakuyamon!"
Once again, everything went black and Takato stood in the center as he was covered by a streak of red data.
"It was me that first bio-merged with a digimon among us Tamers. I felt Guilmon's strength when I bio-merged with him. My active imagination allowed me to have Guilmon as a partner and I will never lose him. Not only does the real world need our help but also the digital worlds. The Destined are also counting on us to help them with this battle. We won't let the D-Reaper win!"
Bio-Merge Evolution
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Takato holds up his D-Ark and presses it against his chest as he exploded with a stream of red data surrounding him. He felt his arms flow freely as he started to float down upon Guilmon as they merged together.
"Guilmon Bio-merge!"
Guilmon's body started to break down as his reptilian skin was quickly giving way to a much more armored body that was silver. His limbs quickly transformed into that of human limbs. His tail gave way and he was now a bipedal figure. His face quickly evolved into every single of his evolutions. First from Guilmon and then into Growlmon. Then into War Growlmon and then into Guilmon. A view of Takato's face was shown and then a knight's facemask was shown. There was a pair of pure gold eyes underneath the dark silts of the mask. On top of the helmet was the face of Guilmon embedded on the top of his forehead. He goes flying out as a joust came appearing in his hand and a shield formed on the other. The shield has the same 'hazard' sign that was embedded on Guilmon's chest. Finally, a long, red flowing cape appeared as the new digimon soared out into a pose.
"Gallantmon!"
Alice looked on from the background and gazed in complete shocked awe at the formation of the three fully-evolved megas. She then looked down to see a stream of red and blue data floating all around her. The data formed into Dobermon's head and a smile forms across the girl's face.
"Dobermon… You came back…"
The dog gave his final farewell as he kissed his partner on the cheek and quickly phaded out. Alice gasped as she saw the last of her digimon partner. The data started fleeing away as Alice looked up in sadness.
"Please… Don't leave me, Dobermon…"
She looked down at her feet and sighed in disbelief that her digimon was gone and possibly to never return. He had given his own life up just to aid the Tamers and their digimon, but for a right cause.
"I'll never forget you… My friend… Where does my destiny lie after this?"
[Evanesence "Bring Me to Life" plays]
Gallantmon stood on top of a nearby building as he gazed down over towards the group of ADRs. He let out a low grunt and his arm quickly forms into his ever- so trusty lance. The ADR-04 group started firing away at Gallantmon but the mega was able to deflect them with the simple swing of his lance. Then he shoots out a blast from his lance.
"Lightning Joust!"
The blast was able to nail the ADRs with full contact and they quickly exploded as a result. More ADRs started popping out every time another was defeated, as if they were multiplying. Mega Gargomon came into the battle next as he fired away more of the ADRs with another one of his trademark attacks.
"Burst Shot!"
The ADRs were unable to overcome the barrage of attacks being unleashed at them from the mega. They exploded into ooze and were soon replaced by more ADR drones in their place.
"Now that's what I call laying the smack down!" the green armored mega cried out through the witty Terriermon.
"This is going to take everything we got! More seem to be popping out every time we take one group out," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Lets give them our full attack!"
"I'm with you. Even if we are in the mega level, we still should not underestimate the abilities of the D-Reaper," Mega Gargomon responded, under the voice of Henry.
["Bring Me To Life" ends for now]
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Office Building within West Shinjuku.
The Wild Bunch and the Monster Makers were finishing up setting up their equipment and everything was coming into order. Everybody was getting ready to get into their positions to monitor the Chaos Zone within the city of West Shinjuku.
"All right! Is everybody ready to get this underway?" Mr. Wong asked.
Suddenly, there was sudden silence throughout the room as the blonde woman, Daisy, looked up to see none other than a familiar face. The others looked up and their faces said it all. It looked as if they were looking at a ghost. However, it was none other than their Shibumi. He walked down from the staircase and everybody was looking at him with surprise.
"Shibumi! It's you!" Janyuu exclaimed in surprise. "But, I can't believe it! Where have you been all this time?"
"Lets just say that I was having a mid-winters dream," the man also known as Mizuno said. "I've been out with a coma for a very long time but now I've returned to my old friends."
"It's so good to see you again, Shibumi," Januu said with relief.
The man nodded to over his old colleague and walked over to take his position. The whole Monster Maker team was complete, just as Yamaki had hoped.
"Mr. Yamaki, is that man really Shibumi?" Izzy asked.
"Yes and we have the whole Monster team complete. With Shibumi on our side, we can finally manage get a better understanding of this thing we're going against."
"That thing that you're referring to. I know what it is," said Shibumi.
"Wait a minute! You mean you know what the blob mass is?" Janyuu asked.
"Its name is the D-Reaper. It was supposed to be just a simple control program to prevent original programs that became digimon from getting out of hand. But the problem is that it shouldn't have become so powerful as it already become. Now it has apparently mutated, gained some data of what it deletes. The D-Reaper was able to migrate through a dimensional vortex of unknown sources. I really have no idea who could have been behind its structure."
"But what could have had the power to open up a portal from the digital world into the real world? That's something beyond our ability to reach," Janyuu said.
"I'll tell you why. And its a good possibility," Izzy said to the whole bunch. "I believe it has to do with the digimon. It's a certain individual."
The bunch all gathered as Izzy began to explain his side of the situation concerning the D-Reaper's arrival in the real world. But then were interrupted by something on the television news
"This just in, we have received word that three mysterious things, properly known as digimon, have appeared and are now currently doing battle against the blob mass. It seems that they are having an upper hand and were able to do something that not even the military were able to accomplish."
The Wild Bunch quickly were watching the news on television and were overhearing that three mysterious digimon have now appeared within the city of West Shinjuku to do battle against the blob mass.
"What's going on? Why are those digimon attacking the chaos mass?" Janyuu asked.
"You don't have to worry. Those three might eventually help us in the very end. This is just what we needed," Izzy replied, "They should be able to take down some of those drones I like to call them."
"Hmm. It seems you happen to have knowledge over the digimon. Have you known about them for a very long time," Shibumi asked.
"As a matter of fact. I'm a Digi-Destined."
"A what?"
"A sort of partner to that of a digimon. But the digimon I have is just as curious as I am. I would like you meet my pal, Tentomon."
The red beetle digimon came walking out while eating a rice ball. Shibumu took a good look at him and was examining him.
"Wow. The digimon we created? I can't believe your real. Can you speak?"
"Yes, plus I can dance, do the tango and bake good cookies. And who must you be stranger?"
"Chill out, Tentomon. This happens to be the man that predicted for digimon to actually come to life. This is none other than Shibumi."
The insect digimon dropped his rice ball and gazed right over at Shibumi as if he had seen a ghost. Then he points over towards the man.
"Ah! I recognize your face!"
"Yes, you saw him when I got a transmission from the other digital world," said Izzy, "Don't you remember that?"
"Yes. But I've seen him before."
"What do you?"
"It's a long story…"
Izzy was just as confused as anybody over what Tentomon had just said. How does Tentomon recognize Shibumi when the man himself hasn't even actually seen the little insect anymore before? Izzy was beginning to think that it was just a stupid little coincidence.
"What?! And there isn't a single word on the children!" Janyuu exclaimed.
Dr. McCoy sighed as he looked over towards a photo of his family. It had himself and Alice on the front as if the picture were taken from a few years ago.
"I've got to do something really quick," the man, also known as Dolphin, said to hismelf in thought.
"That's it! I can't take this! I've got to find the children," Janyuu exclaimed, as he was about to walk out.
"Janyuu! Where are you going?! You know that it's too dangerous out there in the line of fire," said Yamaki.
Janyuu stopped as he began to make his decision. It was either walk out to abandon his duties or help his colleagues out with the problems that were taking place with the D-Reaper mass and the digimon. It was either the children or his duties.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Demon was standing at the location of where he would meet the two warriors. His eyes fastened on Jeri, who was held tightly around the demon lord's grasp.
"There my child. You won't have to endure the pain any longer. Once I dispatch with those two insects, then you can become my bride in waiting. What do you say?"
"I say you can dream on! I'll never give myself up to a creep like you! You're the reason why the D-Reaper mass is growing isn't it?"
"In a way, I am responsible for the mass' rapid evolution. Soon, it will destroy everything in its path and I shall build a new empire of chaos. It will be glorious. I have no further competition."
"That's where you're wrong. Leomon and Pikkan will stop you! Not to mention Takato and the others are here! They'll find me and prevent you from…"
The demon lord covers her mouth tightly as the girl struggles under his tight grip.
"Nobody is here to save you. They've given up on you. I'm confident my two loyal servants have taken care of the vermin."
"Is that so?" a familiar voice calls out.
"So, you were able to overwhelm my two loyal followers, Pikkan?"
"They were a waste of my time," the alterian replied. "Alright, Demon. It ends here. Let the girl go."
"And what if I choose not to oblige?"
"Then, Leomon will do so?"
"Leomon?"
"Behind you!"
Demon turns around and is decked with a right hand. The demon lord is sent flying back, but he manages to stop in time. Leomon held Jeri as he puts out his sword.
"You hurt my partner, Demon. Now, I shall take your head!"
"Be my guest, then. How about I make a proposal? How about you two team up and see if you stand a chance against an all mighty demon lord. What do you say?"
"Whatever. I could use the warm-up," Pikkan replied. "In any case, you're going to die today."
"Let's not underestimate him, Pikkan. He might be planning a scheme," said Leomon.
"I don't give a rat's ass!" Pikkan exclaimed. "He's a dead man!"
"Are you done with your idle chit chat?" Demon asked.
"Let's go!" Leomon cries out.
Pikkan shrugs his shoulders and follows out with Leomon. The digimon duo ran towards Demon. The demon lord forms two orbs in his hands and hurls them out at them warriors. Leomon jumps away and unsheathes his sword. Demon catches it with ease and shoots out an energy blast. Leomon manages to catch the blast and tosses it up towards the skylines. Pikkan phases behind Demon and delivers a fist to the demon's back.
"Gothca!"
"On the contrary…"
Demon's cloaked figure shoots out vine-like whips and started to engulf Pikkan. The alterian tried breaking free but to no avail. Leomon flies out and slices the whips, like a knife cutting through onions strings. Pikkan took time to recover, before Demon lashed out at Pikkan with another whip. Leomon phases out in front of Demon and attempts his Fist of the Beast King. Demon saw it coming and reflects the blast back at the warrior. Leomon slaps the blast away, but not long before Demon phases behind Leomon. Leomon turns and gets hammered by the demon lord. Demon hunches back and clasps his hands together. Jeri screams out with Calumon latching onto her.
"Leomon!"
The warrior was quickly reawakened by the girl's screams. He stood up and grabs Demon's hand. Leomon lets out a roar before nailing Demon with a powerful ki blast. The force of the blast sent Demon flying up.
"Fool! I haven't even begun to demonstrate the true depth of my power!"
"Care to demonstrate?" Pikkan's voice whispers behind Demon.
Demon turns and is blasted by Pikkan's Thunder Flash Attack immediately. Leomon follows it up with a clubbing blow to his back. The result of the attacks sent Demon crashing down through the water tower. The water started flowing out rapidly as Jeri looked on with horror.
"Help!"
"Jeri!"
As soon as Leomon flew down to save his partner in waiting, a flash zips passed him and snatches up Jeri. Leomon looks up and sighs when he saw Pikkan holding Jeri in his arms. The girl uncovers her eyes and looks up at Pikkan.
"Thank you, Mr. Pikkan."
"Just call me Pikkan, kid."
"You're my hero…"
"I'm you're what? Hero?"
"Oh. What funny looking ears you've got there."
"Don't touch them. They're sensitive."
"Jeri! Is she okay, Pikkan?" Leomon asked.
"Yes, but you should get away from here. I'm willing to bet Demon is pissed off. I sense you're friends need you're help right about now. I'd go if I were you."
"Yes, I can sense the D-Reaper's agents. Jeri. We'll need my mega form for this."
"Couldn't you just fight them as you are?"
"I don't sense the presence of any innocent lives, so it's safe for me to go all out."
"All right, then."
"You two get going," Pikkan replied. "I'll kick Demon's ass myself. Get going!"
Jeri nods as her digivice was activated. Calumon's crystal shoots out a beam of energy as Leomon was prepared to evolve straight to this alternate mega level.
"Leomon warp shinka! Cyberleomon!"
With that said, Cyberleomon flies off with Jeri on his shoulder. Pikkan turns away and watched Demon levitates out from the debris. Calumon hops off Jeri and flies off into the distance.
"Calumon! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to go find Impmon! Don't worry! I'll be back!
"Be careful!"
Calumon flies out in search for Impmon, in order to help out in this messy situation. If Demon wasn't bad enough, then the D-Reaper's sudden reappearance from the time chamber was the icing on the cake.
"It's just down to you and me, Demon."
"I'm quite taken back by you're tremendous strength. I really didn't think you'd gain this amount of power since our last run-in many eons ago."
"You don't have to remind me. I know I've gotten stronger. Now, would you just shut the hell up and come at me with everything you've got!"
"Not just yet. You attacked me from behind. So therefore, you'll have to wait. I've got another underling who's been dying to greet you. So if I were you, I'd watch my back. If you want to face me, then you'll have to earn that right."
"Earn it? I've already had to put up with your crap than I already have! We're settling this now!"
"On the contrary, I'd prepare myself if I were you. You have to enemies to contend me. That includes myself and the other D-Reaper entity. She's preparing to return to this dimension and you will all die."
"He's right and there's nothing much I can do about it. Her power greatly overwhelms mine. I'll take Demon out first and worry about D-Reaper later."
"It's too late. She's already here. We shall meet again, Pikkan. You've won this round, but I will eventually win this little game. Farewell to thee…"
As soon as he said that, Demon phased out from sight. Pikkan felt the overwhelming ki from D-Reaper and flew out to the distance.
"No time to waste! I'll find this warrior Demon speaks of and kill his ass. Demon, you won't get away next time! I promise you!"
***************************************************************************************
["Bring Me to Life" by Evanesence resumes]
Gallantmon powered up as he shot out more blasts from his lance and began to blast away more ADR-04 along the way. But it seemed more were coming along the way.
"Takatomon, there's more and more popping out every time we take out one bunch."
"I know. This isn't looking very good. But I'm not about to quit yet. Never. Not just yet. We're still in this thing."
"I'm with you, Takato! Lets do this!"
As soon as he said this, Gallantmon went charging forth towards the swarm of ADR-04 and began slashing away at their cords and deleting them in the process.
****************************************************************************************
Talley looked over at her computer monitor and she gasped at what she was seeing. She motioned over to the others to come and take a look at the monitor she was viewing.
"You've got to take a look at this!"
They all walked over to view the three bio-merged digimon that were doing battle against the ADR army within the line of fire. Izzy looked on with shock.
"That's the digimon I've been talking about," he said, "They must be in their mega forms. It's got to be the Tamers, but I don't even see Takato, Rika or Henry. Where the heck are they?"
***************************************************************************************
Mega Gargomon was next to attack as he shot out more missiles, deleting several ADRS in the process. Sakuyamon was next to take action as she threw her staff around several surrounding ADRs and easily take them out by deleting them in the process.
"Rika. Don't get too overconfident yet. That was just the beginning."
"Right. But what a better way than to send these freaks back where they came from. Ready to kick some drone tail, Renamon?
"You bet. Lets do this together."
"Heh. I couldn't agree more."
Sakuyamon continued her relentless attacks by thrusting down her staff and cut the cords off of several ADRs, deleting them in the process. It seemed like an even plane field at the beginning but the Tamers were now getting the upper hand over the situation.
Alice was watching the fight from the distance and sighed to herself. Now it seemed that her job here was complete.
"Looks like my job here is done. They seem to be getting the upper hand. My destiny has been fulfilled, for now at least. Good luck, Tamers…"
As soon as she said that, the girl began to walk away into the far distance to get herself away from the battle zone.
****************************************************************************************
"Janyuu! We have to put our trust on the Tamers and their digimon," Yamaki said, "They are the only ones that can stop the drones of the D-Reaper."
"But, my son is out there. He's out there as we speak, in the zone with those drones! I'm not even sure to trust the digimon or not."
****************************************************************************************
Back over at the Makino residence, Rumiko and Seko Makino were looking on as Sakuyamon was battling the ADRs. Rumiko was literally down in tears since she has unable to hear anything from her daughter, Rika.
"Where is Rika?! Where is my poor baby?! I can't seem to find her on the television…"
Seko tried to comfort the crying woman, but knew that she couldn't have done anything to stop this. However, they had no idea that Rika was within Sakuyamon and out there fighting in a battle to stop a mass that could destroy the existence of human kind itself.
****************************************************************************************
"Listen Janyuu. These digimon are going to stop the D-Reaper. They will do whatever it takes to defeat it and they aren't going to allow the children to get killed. That's just not going to happen. Wherever those children are, their digimon are with them and protecting them. Janyuu, we need your leadership to help these digimon stop the D-Reaper.
***************************************************************************************
Now the battle between the Tamers and the titan, ADR-05 was about to take place. Mega Gargomon makes it way over towards it and stops right in front of it.
"Hey yo, ugly! I've got a little present for you! Mega Barrage!"
The robotic mega screamed out as his body began to open up and a large barrage of missiles came shooting at the ADR. But as soon as the smoke cleared, ADR-05 shot out its coiled arms and easily takes down Mega Gargomon with the slightest of easy. It was barely able to bring Mega Gargomon down. Mega Gargomon charged the agent and knocks him down with a devastating clothesline.
Sakuyamon flew up as she faced an army of ADR-04 about to make their move onto her. After powering an aura, she swung her staff around with fox-shaped spirits surrounding her. They all seemed to have heads much like Renamon's but each was multi-color. Some were red and blue, while others were green.
"Spirit Strike!"
She held out her hand and the spirits all gathered before her and they were sent flying over to the ADRs and watched as the spirits starting to delete the drones with the greatest of ease.
****************************************************************************************
"Daisy! I want you to get find a location to the digital world."
"But how can we if it's nearly impossible to get a view of it through a computer monitor?"
"Maybe its possible to extract some leftover data, so we can use it to power up the near-completed Project G."
"Project G?"
"Its a little something Izzy and myself had come up with as a last resort."
"Well, actually it was my idea. I'll show you guys the layouts of the design a little later," said Izzy.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kenta and Marine Angemon were watching the news on television while battling the Tamer megas doing battle against the ADR army. A look of frustration came across his face and he sat up.
"I can't take this anymore! We have to go out there and at least help them! Lets go, Marine Angemon!"
"Pipipi!"
As soon as he said that, they both walked out through the backdoor in order to sneak out without getting caught.
"Just because we're not able to do much battle, doesn't mean I'm just going to sit here and let my friends get themselves killed. I'm a Tamer too and its only right for me to go out there."
***************************************************************************************
Kazu was also watching the news and was just as frustrated as Kenta was and smashed his fists on the coffee table.
"Dang it! I'm not going to sit here! Takato needs us and he knows it!"
Just then, the boy looked outside as his mother was kicking away at Guardromon, while complaining of him stepping on her flowers.
"Get your foot off of my flowers! You big goof!"
"Kazu, you didn't tell me that your mother was get this furious! Help me!"
"C'mon, buddy! It's time to fight like a Tamer!"
***************************************************************************************
Back over at Henry's sensei's home, Suzie and Lopmon were also watching the news and saw none other than Mega Gargomon appear on the screen. Her eyes lit up with surprise.
"It's Henry and Terriermon!"
"Suzie, it's time to let me go out there and fight! They need out help!"
"But I can't let you go. You'll get hurt and who's going to protect me?"
"Suzie, that's our family that are fighting out there. If they can fight against the true enemy, then I should be given the chance to as well. I may not be at their level of power, but I'm not going to just sit here and watch this chaos ensue. So lease, Suzie. You have to let me go. Please, for the sake of our worlds…"
Suzie sat there thinking to herself and then looked down upon Lopmon. She responded breaking up the sudden silence.
"Suzie? You remember how you wanted me to digivolve? Well now its time to prove yourself to being a Tamer. Its time to live up to that responsibility."
Suzie thought for a moment and then began to nod her head in agreement. A smile forms across Lopmon's face as her partner reached down to her bag and pulled out her D-Ark.
"That's the spirit, Suzie. You're just one step away from becoming a Tamer. Just like your brother."
["Bring Me to Life" ends]
****************************************************************************************
Back in the battle, Gallantmon was firing away at more of the ADR-04 army with blast shots from his lance. He was able to bring down many and deleted them as a result. He then went over and saw ADR-05 wrapping its coils around Mega Gargomon.
"Hang on, Henry! We're coming!"
With that said, Gallantmon quickly phases forward and knocks ADR-05 out of the way, which gave Mega Gargomon enough time to recover from the struggle with the ADR.
"Thanks, Takato! We'll take it from here!"
With that said, Henry was screaming within a green sphere inside of Mega Gargomon as the mega began powering up. The body plates all over the mega began to open up once again and another great barrage of missiles came shooting out.
"Hey, we have a surprise for ya! Mega Barrage!"
The barrage nailed ADR-05 and sent it flying back as it quickly exploded into a red mass of chaos that deleted within a heartbeat. Mega Gargomon stood his ground in triumph.
"Alright! We nailed him! We nailed him! We nailed him, Henry! Striiike! He's out of there!"
"Nice going. We did it together, Terrerimon."
"Takato! We did a great job didn't we?"
"We sure did. I never would have doubted you."
"Alright, now that we have defeated that army! I say we go right after the mass next!" Gallantmon exclaimed, with Takato's voice.
"No. We're not sure whether or not any more drones will come popping out and may surprise attack us out of nowhere. We have to be extra careful on this," Sakuyamon replied, suing Rika's voice. "Takato, remember that mass will delete us if we go near it. We have to be extra careful."
"I don't care! I have to at least try to stop it!"
Gallantmon goes leaping into the air as he went charging forth after the D-Reaper mass with a look of rage and vengeance. Takato screamed out from within in his red sphere.
"Gallantmon! Don't do it!" exclaimed Sakuyamon.
"C'mon, D-Reaper! I'm ready for you! You won't be able to defeat the likes of us!"
Suddenly, a hand-shaped mass came popping out from within the chaos mass and it quickly snatches Gallantmon into a tight grip. The armored knight mega tried everything within his power to break free, but all to no avail. Sakuyamon tried to free him using her staff to break its grip, but another hand came out and slapped Sakuyamon away and sent her plummeting down into the ground.
"Oh no! Sakuyamon! It's got us! We can't break free! Damn it!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Ha! Isn't it obvious?!" a voice called out.
Gallantmon turned around to see none other than the other entity of the D-Reaper itself, the being. Gallantmon looked over at it with malice and hatred.
"You fool. You didn't realize that I'm to control this other entity of the D-Reaper. Even while I'm in battle, I'm still able to control and get into contact with the drones. I used my telepathic ability to control them as puppets. Without me, this chaos zone would have been weakened."
"So, your the one controlling it! We should have known! We'll do whatever it takes to destroy you!" exclaimed Gallantmon. "Wait… We were told about this Demon guy… Isn't he the one pulling the strings?!"
"He merely triggered my inner core and reawakened the evil within my being. He'll soon get his as will all of you!"
"You won't win, D-Reaper!"
"Ahh, but a small price to pay. As you can see, I've arrived in the digital world. How you say? Well its pretty simple. I left through an inter-dimensional porthole within the time chamber and I somehow found myself here. I never expected for such a twist to occur but here I am. But the same can't be said for the beings known as Daisuke, Takeru and Buddamon. They're trapped in the time chamber and will die for all eternity. But now onto new plans. You destroyed my drones. No matter, I'll just create more along the way. It's that simple. You three are nowhere near my league, so there's no reason for me to fight you."
"So, are you just walking out on this fight, D-Reaper? Ha, even as a deletion program, you're still a coward."
"I'm not leaving the scene. I'm sticking around to watch the drones kick your asses. It seems my precious chaos is starting to spread through this planet. Perfect. Soon the ultimate being will form and I will reach my godly status. Just you wait and see, human."
A sick and twisted smile came across her face as she uncrossed her arms.
"Soon, all of you humans and digimon shall be deleted and wiped clean. It will happen sooner than you can think, smell, touch or speak. On the other hand, I really would like to thank the ones named Omega X and Metalla X for helping to release me within my seal; I wouldn't have reached my full power without them. I also would like to thank Dark Magimon for corrupting me the way I am. I proved to be quite a destructive force without that data scum. Finally, I'd like to thank Demon. He helped release the evil within my core. The once, happy little girl you witnessed has been brushed aside for the monster you see before you. Now he along with others shall be deleted and be loaded within my being. Now say goodbye, Gallantmon."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Kazu, who was riding on top of Guardromon's back, was soaring through the air as they both gazed over towards the district of West Shinjuku, which was covered by the Chaos mass.
"Can't you go a little faster, Guardromon?! Our friends are out there and they need our help!"
"I'm trying. My, these rocket boosters don't go one hundred miles per hour each day, you know. Ugh, my back is killing me."
"So you calling me fat?"
"No, its just my back always gets cramped up through flights like these."
"Quit complaining. Hey! There it is! Lets land just a little further away from the scene. We don't want anyone of those drones to find us."
"Right. Landing is now imminent!"
***************************************************************************************
Back over at sensei's home, Henry's older sister came running out as she began to call out her little sister's name.
"Suzie! Suzie!"
She then looks outside and saw the purple-haired little girl standing in the middle of the street while looking on forward.
"Suzie! There you are. What are you doing out here? Hey, where's you little buddy, Lopmon?"
Her question was soon answered as Suzie pointed up towards a tri-horned rabbit, who was as tall as house. The older sister gasped in shock and watched as Antiramon began walking down towards the street and made her way over to the Chaos Zone.
"Wow, that must have be one heck of a growth sprut."
****************************************************************************************
[Prodigy "Breathe" plays]
D-Reaper stood with a smile on her face as she waved her hand around, which made the hand from the chaos mass move and bring forth Gallantmon into a different location.
Takato screamed out within Gallatmon as he was now being taken to an unknown location and away from the scene of the battle.
"You're coming with me, Gallantmon. I've left a big surprise for you, Tamers. You might say, he's a little green but he should be cured once he gets his fun with your pathetic excuses of friends."
"No! Rika! Henry!"
"Gallantmon!" Sakuyamon cried out, "We've got to help him!"
"I'm with you, Rika! Let's go!" Mega Gargomon nodded in agreement.
But just as they were about to make their move in attempt to save their comrade, Gallantmon, a voice called out to them. The megas turned around to see none other than Guardromon with Kazu waving over to them. "You guys are sight for sour eyes, over here!"
"It's Kazu!" Sakuyamon exclaimed, under Rika's voice.
Kazu gave off a convincing smirk as Guardromon landed on the ground.
****************************************************************************************
Just elsewhere within the city, Calumon and Impmon were both walking down a street as they gazed in awe over at the large chaos mass.
"Whoa, I'm getting some bad vibes from that glob of jello," the little white digimon said.
"Is it just me or does thing remind you of that thing from the Ghostbusters movie. What's it called? The slime?" impmon pondered.
"We better get to the bottom of this and check it out!"
But just as Calumon was about to fly over towards the mass, Impmon jumps up and takes Calumon down. Calumon was struggling underneath Impmon's grip and tried breaking free.
"Hey! Let me go! You're a big meanie! I better check it out!"
"Hey! If I was a big meanie, I would let you flew your happy little self into that chaos and see you get deleted. See?"
Calumon sits up, as he looks right up at Impmon with a look of confusion.
"Impmon, I didn't know that you cared."
"Surprised me too."
"So what are we going to do now? For all we know, our friends could be in danger."
"Friends? You really want to help the out?"
"Of course! They need us! Lets go, Impmon!"
Calumon goes flying up into the air and searches the area, while Impmon was trying to catch up the hovering little digmon.
"Ugh. Slow down. Even after eating a patch of cream puffs, you always manage to leave me out. Wait for me! Its not my fault that I can't fly!"
****************************************************************************************
Time Chamber
While still trapped within the time chamber, Buddamon and War Dramon continued screaming as loud as they could, but they were becoming exhausted. They weren't able to create a porthole as the D-Reaper demonstrated. It was much easier said than done.
"Buddamon, the only way we're going to have to do this is by ascending to my next fusion level. We should have done it a little while ago," War Dramon said. "It's worth a shot at least. It's my back-up plan."
"Go for it."
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
As soon as he said that, War Dramon slowly started to power up and bolts of electricity was surging through his body. He clenched his fists and hunched forward. Buddamon watched in astonishment as blue streaks of electricity start to bolt over War Dramon's body. His body slowly started to bulk up and his hair was growing longer. Within a flash of light, War Dramon quickly ascended to the third level.
Buddamon stares at them, with a look of astonishment and shock across his face. War Dramon, as always, attempts to act cool and yells at the top of his lungs, ripping a large hole within the inter-dimensional fabric without the slightest of difficulty.
"Yo! Let's go, Buddamon! If you don't want to get left behind, then we don't have time to lose!"
"Right!"
As the two went through the hole, they found themselves in the line of fire itself within the D-Reaper Chaos Zone. They both looked up to see D-Reaper looking on with Gallantmon being held tightly.
"Hey, D-Reaper! Over here!"
D-Reaper gasped in surprise and then she looks down to see none other than War Dramon at his third level form. She was shocked over the fact that they had arrived so quickly and so soon.
"TK! Davis! Is that you guys?! Wow! I can sense your powers! They're off the charts!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
War Dramon quickly boosted up his energy and a bright flash of light shot out from his surrounding aura. D-Reaper looked on with astonishment, as was Gallantmon.
Now every single source of light and glass was broken away after the power up and nearly the entire city's source of light and electrical power went out like a bang.
****************************************************************************************
Outside the Digital Universe.
They were all gazing down upon the crystal ball. Tai and Agumon were the most shocked as they were seeing War Dramon in the third level stage in such a short period of time.
"What?! They've managed to reach the third level form of digital fusion?!" Tai called out.
"Well, it's a good thing that they are still alive and fused to say the least," said Agumon, "Wow, I would have never imagined TK and Davis with so much power like this!"
"No kidding. Wow that's really TK and Davis," Kari said, "This is fantastic."
"So this is the third level stage?" Shintomon asked, "What an incredible power! They're nearly as powerful as D-Reaper now."
"That's it. You impressed, Shintomon?" Tai asked with a grin on his face.
Shintomon merely nodded in agreement and was choked up on his words. He couldn't think of anything to say about his opinions over the next stage level.
"Those two were able to fuse and master that technique in such a short period of time. It took Tai and Agumon nearly a long time over this seven year period to get it done right. These fusion warriors are nothing more than amazing."
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku.
Now surrounded by a ball of electricity, War Dramon stared down the D-Reaper with eyes filled with rage and malice. Now it was time for D-Reaper to do battle against a third level stage fusion warrior. But would War Dramon level three live up to their expectations?
War Dramon made his first move as they threw up a gust of energy over towards D-Reaper, but she merely phased to the side and watched as the blast nailed a nearby building and watched as it exploded within seconds. A grin formed across D-Reaper's face as she popped her neck. Now being powered by rage, War Dramon goes charging right for the D-Reaper as round three was soon going to begin.
****************************************************************************************
"Kazu! What are you two doing here?" Sakuyamon asked.
"We came here to help too. We're just not going to let you guys have all the fun. Besides, we're Tamers and we have to help each other out."
"What he said!" replied Guardromon.
Just then, a familiar figure came flying down in the form of Cyberleomon with Jeri holding onto his side.
"Jeri? Leomon?! Whoa! I didn't expect you two to come," Kazu said.
"Sorry, but we had a run-in with Demon!" Jeri replied. "But Pikkan saved us in time!"
"Demon? Pikkan? I'm confused here," Kazu said, "I wonder where Kenta and Marine Angemon are? But more importantly, where the heck has Ryo been?"
Suddenly, something comes shooting down from the air. The digimon were able to detect the presence and looked up to see none other than a metallic warrior with a silver and blue suit plus a silver helmet. One thing that made him more noticeable was a red scarf flowing around his neck. He landed on top of a building and looked down upon the Tamers.
"Whoa! Who is that guy?" Kazu asked.
"I don't know but he looks really shiny," replied Guardromon.
"Leomon?"
"His ki feels so familiar. It's as if seen him before."
"Hey you! Just who the heck are you?" Sakuyamon asked with demand.
There was no reply as the mysterious stared down upon the Tamers and a gust of wind came pushing against him.
The Tamer group was gazing up on the top of the roof as the mystery figure was looking down with no visible signs of a face since it was covered by what looks like helmet-like armor. Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon walked a little closer to see who it was.
"Hey! Who are you?!" Mega Gargomon asked, using Henry's voice.
"Are you friend or foe?" asked Sakuyamon.
The figure simply stood there silent and remained mysterious until he spoke with a low tone of voice.
"A friend…"
With that said, the figure goes jumping down onto the ground and lands on his feet. He faces up and looks over to the Tamers. Kazu and Guardromon looked on with astonishment.
"Wow. He's our friend?" Kazu pondered.
"Well, he's a very shiny friend," remarked Guardromon.
"I am Justimon! I use my Justice Kick to take down my enemies," the mystery figure said, with what seemed like a mixture of both Ryo's and Cyberdramon's voices.
A view of Ryo within a dark blue sphere was shown as he looked forward towards the other Tamers with a confident smirk on his face.
"Hey guys! I came as fast as I could! So what do you think of our shabby new looks?"
"Ugh. Just typical. I knew it had to be you. C'mon, this isn't the time to showboat," replied Rika.
"I know. That is why I cam here to help. We've had out run-ins with drones and it wasn't easy. By the way, where's Takato?"
"We saw the D-Reaper catch him and they're off somewhere on the other side of the city," said Mega Galgomon, using Henry's voice.
"Then, we better get to him and fast," Justimon said, "Now where should we start…"
Just as soon as the whole group was about to move out, a loud growling noise was heard echoing through the skies. They all looked up to see something big, muscular and green.
"Ahh! What the heck is that thing!" Kazu exclaimed.
"I don't know, but he sure doesn't look very happy to see us," replied Cyberleomon. "I'm sensing a powerful ki from this thing."
"Everybody get ready!" Justimon exclaimed.
As soon as the monster descended further down, it was equipped with sharp teeth, large muscular arms and a cord attached to its back.
"And here I thought The Incredible Hulk was all a comic book series," Kazu remarked, "But this is ridiculous!"
Soon the ADR drone landed and quickly phased out to the surprise of the tamers. Mega Gargomon turns around and gets nailed in the face with a spin kick by the ADR. Mega Gargomon goes crashing down to the ground, much to the dismay of Henry.
"Mega Gargomon! Hold on!" Sakuyamon exclaimed.
But just as Sakuyamon was about to attack ADR-06, it phases right behind her and clubbed her right in the back with a forearm smash. Sakuyamon goes landing down onto the ground with a loud thud.
Cyberleomon came next as he and ADR-06 started hammering away at each other with fists bouncing off one another and flashes of electricity emitting from each blow. But ADR-06 was able to overpower Cyberleomon and delivers a head butt to his face.
"Oh no! Leomon!"
ADR-06 quickly turns its attention over to Justimon as a sick, cruel smile forms across its face.
"You guys! I'll take care of our good friend Bruce Banner here. You go and find Takato!"
"But you can't fight him alone! You'll get yourself killed!" exclaimed Sakuyamon.
"I'll stay and fight with him," said Cyberleomon, "Sakuyamon. Mega Gargomon. You two go and find Takato. We'll handle this from here."
"Understood," said Saukyamon, "Lets go Mega Gargomon."
"Don't try to get yourselves killed while we're away," remarked Mega Gargomon.
ADR-06 takes advantage of a distracted Justimon and grabs him from behind, but Justimon managed to phase out quickly. ADR-06 looks up and sees Justimon flying right at him and hammers him away with fists of fury. ADR-06 was able to keep up with the mega and traded blows with him.
"Leomon! Are you okay?"
"Jeri, get back and stay away. This is too dangerous. I'll do the best that I can!"
"Be careful!"
Cyberleomon goes flying up and fires away a barrage of ki blasts at ADR-06, who stood there frozen and held out his hand. The blasts nailed ADR-06. A large cloud of smoke covered him. Cyberleomon flew forward and went to attack, but gasped when he saw ADR-06 vanish within thin air. He quickly turned around and saw ADR-06 smashing fists into his gut. ADR-06 wrenches back and delivers an elbow shot to the back of Cyberleomon. The force of the elbow shot sent him flying down into the ground below.
ADR-06 stood triumph as he hovered down over the fallen bodies of Justimon and Cyberleomon. It pounded its chest in victory, but the two warriors stood up on their feet and both flew right at ADR-06. They delivered a double team elbow smash that knocks ADR-06 back through a nearby brick wall.
"Whew. That put his lights out. That guy was tough as nails," Justimon said.
"It's not over yet, Justimon. I can still feel his ki. And by the looks of it, he doesn't looks very happy."
With that said, ADR-06 pops right out from the fallen rubble as he lets out a blood-curling roar and smashed his fists and formed craters as a result. Justimon and Cyberleomon were now preparing themselves for the worst.
****************************************************************************************
Back over in the office building, the Wild Bunch and the Monster Makers were still quite interested after hearing everything that Izzy told them about his experience with the digimon and how Project G would be a great trump card as far as battling the D-Reaper was concerned.
Just then, Yamaki and Talley were looking at a nearby computer monitor while taking a look at the growing D-Reaper blob mass expanding. Yamaki began to notice the mass already covering up half of the Hypnos twin towers.
"Hmmm. For some apparent reason, the D-Reaper seems to be isolating Hypnos' weaknesses and is using that to attacking the digimon," Yamaki said.
Janyuu and Shibumi were taking a close examination of the D-Reaper mass itself. Janyuu had a questionable look on his face and began to analyze the mass with great interest. He managed to used an infered view of the entire D-Reaper Chaos Zone.
****************************************************************************************
[Kid Rock "Cocky" plays]
War Dramon started to attack the D-Reaper head on while smashing the city's surroundings. Windows were starting to shatter and lights were starting to go out due to the amount of power and force unleashed from War Dramon's mere presence. While attacking the D-Reaper in mid air, War Dramon managed to deliver some good kicks and punches that were actually having effect on the D-Reaper. D-Reaper looked ahead towards her opponent and started cackling.
"Impressive, warrior. You have managed to actually become the first person to actually hurt me in my newer form. I commend you, but your momentum ends here. So don't you that victory is imminent for you."
"What do you mean?! I was kicking your ass! You know it and Buddamon knows it."
"Oh, you'll see. You're on the receiving end of getting an ass kicking."
War Dramon quickly powered up and starts attacking again, but this time D-Reaper was able to evade the attacks by contorting her stomach as if it were clay. While growing more and more angry, War Dramon keeps trying to hit D-Reaper but keeps on missing. D-Reaper finally grabs his foot and started swinging the fusion warrior around as if he was in spinning on an amusement park ride. Then she flings War Dramon down into the ground, which created a large crater impact.
Buddamon rushed over towards the gaping hole and looks down Gallantmon was now just as concerned.
D-Reaper follows and rocketed down to where War Dramon had fallen. She pauses over the deep hole that War Dramon plunged through as a grin forms across her face. Suddenly, War Dramon goes plunging out of the ground and leaps into the air.
"Holy Fire Saber!"
War Dramon forms a fiery saber in one hand and slices it down over D-Reaper. As a result of this, D-Reaper literally was split in half.
"Poistron Arrow Beam!"
The fusion warrior powers up and forms two energy-filled arrows that penetrated through the two halves and watched as they quickly disintegrated. Buddamon and Gallantmon cheer out in encouragement.
"Alright! You did it!" exclaimed Buddamon.
"Nicely done!" Gallantmon said, using Guilmon's voice.
War Dramon simply grinned and gave a peace sign.
"Who's the 'mon, now?!"
***************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe.
Tai, Kari and Agumon were jumping around cheering after what War Dramon had just done. Tai started to speak out as he started to sense victory coming to their side.
"Yes! They did it! TK and Davis did it!" Tai exclaimed, "The threat is over! D-Reaper, you're outta here! I haven't seen an enemy get split in half like that since Dimitri defeated Burizalor."
Angewomon noticed their cheers and was anxious to know what her comrades were cheering about, but she was still forced to stay and continue her power-up with Gosenzomon.
"Angewomon! TK and Davis just fused into War Dramon and they put the smackdown on the D-Reaper! You should have seen it! Two shots and she was out of there!" Kari remarked.
"Sweet! Now I don't have to complete this power-up then…"
"Oh no. You better stay focused. You're still going to receive the power-up just as planned. Now hold still and concentrate."
"Aw, crap. All right. Let's get this over with."
Shintomon starts to view the scene back on earth with great interest. He then turned to see Tai, Agumon and Kari gloating over War Dramon's victory.
"Did you see that, Shintomon? That was just awesome! TK and Davis defeated the D-Reaper! One problem solved!" Agumon exclaimed, "So what do you think?"
"I wouldn't underestimate D-Reaper if I were you," Shintomon replied, "D-Reaper hasn't even yet reached her full power."
They all gasped at the Supreme guardian's revelation and started to realize that it was much too soon to celebrate any kind of victory. Shintomon knew D-Reaper better than anybody and for once, they might have to go along with his revelation and take the battle seriously.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
[Kid Rock "Cocky" continues]
Just as both Buddamon and Gallantmon were gloating over War Dramon's sudden victory, the fusion warrior hovered above the ground and looks down with great concern as if he knew that something was obviously going to happen as far as the D-Reaper was concerned.
The ground was now surrounded by red globs of chaos of the blown up D-Reaper. Suddenly each of the chaos pieces started to move about and they started to spin around into a spinning ring around the fused warrior, which then contracts and forms into the lower half of the D-Reaper and then wraps around War Dramon like a rubber band and constricting him to near death.
War Dramon was unable to do anything. He tried breaking free of the enemy's tight grasp. She then flings War Dramon down into the ground once again and watched as War Dramon landed hard on the back of his head. Buddamon and Gallantmon both winced in pain at the painful scene.
However, War Dramon was able to recover just in time as they shot out a huge energy beam. War Dramon presses his hands together and watched as the beam formed into a sphere that was surrounding D-Reaper.
Within a flash of light, there were thirteen ghosts surrounding the D-Reaper. She looks at the ghosts surrounding. Each of them was gawking and making faces, not to mention offensive gestures, towards her.
"Scared of little ghosts aren't we, D-Reaper? Oh and by the way, our ghosts are much stronger than they were before. So I wouldn't even try to escape. There's no way out for you, D-Reaper. Prepare to die!"
With that said, the ghosts all flew at D-Reaper. They zipped around her. And one by one, they smacked her and exploded. As soon as every one of the ghosts exploded, D-Reaper was looking melted and distorted. War Dramon went flying up towards her and then delivers a devastating kick.
"Victory is ours, at last!"
But not wanting to accept defeat just yet, D-Reaper recovers almost instantly and was looking rather extremely anger. She lunges right for War Dramon, who quickly phases out of the way. The fused warrior flies low on top of a nearby building with D-Reaper looking on with shock. Now it appears that War Dramon has outclassed D-Reaper as far as speed was concerned.
D-Reaper has seen enough and goes phasing out. War Dramon is caught by surprise as she looked around their surroundings. Then he felt a presence appear from behind. D-Reaper grinned and then applied a headlock on War Dramon. Then D-Reaper pushes them to the side and places a hand right in front of the fusion warrior.
"Goodbye, warrior."
With that said, D-Reaper fires a blast, and the fused warrior is sent soaring up into the air, where they crash into a nearby building.
Gallantmon and Buddamon both looked on with horror and looked across the devastation the two fighters had left. The portion of the city was left in ruins. It was shades of what Virus did to this very city years ago.
"War Dramon! Can you hear me? Answer me!" Buddamon called out.
"They're alive," said Gallantmon.
"How do you know?"
"Easy. Look above you."
As soon as the panda looked right up into the skies, he saw War Dramon looking just fine. The fused warrior went hovering back down onto the ground with Buddamon looking on with shock across his face. D-Reaper glares at them both while still hovering in the air.
***************************************************************************************
Just on the other side of the city, Calumon and Impmon were running across the pile of rubble in order to hide from the ADR drones patrolling their domains.
"Ugh! You can you run with those short little, stubby legs!"
"I've got bouncy feet."
Just as they were making it over across, they soon stopped at their tracks as an ADR-04 hovered in their way. They both stumbled back and looked up into the lifeless, beady eyes of the drone. Before, they could have enough time to react; the ADR held up its arms and started firing away at the two digimon.
"Hey! Cut that out!" Impmon exclaimed, "You trying to blast our brains out or something?!"
The ADR simply ignored him and fired away more blasts at them, which they were able to evade. Impmon looked over at the ADR with an enraged, possessed look on his face as he holds his tightly clenched fists.
"We don't have time for this!"
[Kid Rock "American Bad Ass" plays]
As soon as he said that, his body started to glow a golden aura of light and he was able to quickly evolve straight into Beelzebumon Blast Mode.
"Whoa! Beelzebumon?!"
"Get out of here, Calumon! I'll take care of him!"
"All right."
Calumon went flying away and attempted to make a clean getaway, but the ADR soon was able to catch up to him. Beelzebumon would not have any of that and quickly snatches the ADR by its cord.
"Hey, where the hell do you think you're going? You ain't leaving without giving me a good fight. Now impress me, jackass. Lets see what you're made of!"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, within the city, Antiramon was standing in the middle of a street and the D-Reaper Chaos Zone was just behind her in the background.
Suzie was watching him through her D-Ark and soon began to speak out to her partner.
"Antiramon. Where are you?"
"It seems to be in the middle of a center. I'm just away from the D-Reaper Zone. But there doesn't seem to be any signs of the others anywhere. Do you know where they could be?"
"You want me to lead you through directions?"
"If you can. That would be helpful."
"Hmmm, why don't you point your finger out and make an 'R' letter. That would be your right side."
"So you think they're on the right hand corner of this location? And you want me to make an 'R' letter with my fingers? Well, alright…"
Antiramon soon created an 'R' letter with the wave of her fingers and was just as confused as ever. Suzie wasn't sure of what to do next and then noticed something flying right passed Antiramon. She could easily recognize it and then calls out to Antiramon.
"Antiramon! I just saw Calumon!"
"Where did he go?"
"He just flew by you and he went to your right hand corner. You better see where he's going. Maybe you can find Henry and the others."
"I'm on it!"
***************************************************************************************
Beelzebumon was fighting off a group of ADR-04s. As soon as they began blasting away at him, he was able to phase out quickly and then reappears behind them.
"Ok! It's time to turn up the heat! And we're having some D-Reaper fillet! I'm sure in the mood for some barbeque! Take this! Death Slinger!"
He uses his big ray gun and then shoots out a large beam of energy that was sent hurtling towards the agent group. They were quickly wasted as he looked across his surroundings and felt some powerful kis from a far off distance.
"Hmmm. Those are some pretty strong kis that I'm sensing, but where are they coming from? I ain't pineapple head that's for sure. Its got to be one of those fusion warriors and the other is pretty dark and corruptive. That's got to be D-Reaper. I better go check this fight out."
Suddenly, something was starting to form at the center of the twin towers of Hypnos. A large sphere started to form, which caught Beelzebumon's attention. He looked across with curiosity and started flying out towards it.
"Hmmm, I wonder what's forming over at the D-Reaper mass. It looks like some sort of sphere, but I feel nothing but emptiness. Should I even bother with it? Aw, what the hell, you live only once."
Beelzebumon goes flying out to investigate the newly formed sphere that was floating right in the center of the Hypnos towers. The sphere looked very clear and transparent. But soon, a red now covered it, protective covering much like that of a cocoon.
**************************************************************************************
Digital World.
The entire population of the digital world has been wiped out. Not even a single sign of life anywhere. However, there were only six life forces still breathing after the onslaught by the D-Reaper's relentless attacks. Those being the four digimon sovereigns, Mummymon and Black Gatomon.
Mummymon continued to wander very glumly across the landscape of the now barren, new digital world. The spinning data orb glares down on the desert-like scene. Black Gatomon goes following Mummymon's side and looks across the entire dead landscape.
"I can't believe Dee did this. I knew deep down, she didn't want to do this. But it was her evil counterpart that kept forcing her."
"I know. Its not entirely her fault," said Mummymon, "I just remember who good and innocent she was. Plus, she rallied like you."
Black Gatomon responds by nodding his head in agreement.
"I just don't understand. Hopefully, she realizes what she's done."
Mummymon sighs and wanders out into the distance while thinking to himself as Black Gatomon followed his side.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
Buddamon and Gallantmon watched on from the distance, as War Dramon and the D-Reaper faced each other off. Slowly, the D-Reaper was beginning to become much angrier. She clasped her hands around her knees and began to form herself into a rather large ball of energy. She then suddenly throws herself down towards both Buddamon and War Dramon.
But she had narrowly missed them and blasted right through a nearby thrift store, creating a rather large hole. Now beginning to spin like a wrecking ball, she repeatedly starts bashing around everything that surrounded her. War Dramon could not do anything and Gallantmon was too tied up at the very moment.
"War Dramon! It's time to attack! Don't just stand there!" Buddamon implored the fusion warrior.
"Right!"
But just as War Dramon was about to prepare another one of their attacks, D-Reaper interrupts them with another charge towards them.
"Move out of the way!" exclaimed Gallantmon. "Shield of the Just!"
The bio-merged mega managed to use the last of his strength to catch the D-Reaper off guard. The blast nailed D-Reaper and somewhat phased her. As soon as she prepared to attack him, War Dramon took full advantage of the situation. He holds out his hands and then shoots out a spiraling energy blast that was sent flying over towards the D-Reaper. The energy goes surrounding the D-Reaper and quickly seals her inside of what looks like a gigantic basketball, just what War Dramon needed. War Dramon leaps up into the air and catches it. Since War Dramon was aware that D-Reaper would break out of the ball soon, he would have their way with her.
"Ahh! I sure could sue a little warm up break from all of this fighting. Basketball, just to calm my nerves!"
War Dramon grabs the D-Reaper-contained basketball and began bouncing it around the streets. Then they went and passed the ball right over towards Buddamon.
"Catch Buddamon! Now you're going to pass to me! Because I'm going in for that goal over there."
War Dramon points out to a large hoop-like structure in the middle of the street.
"What?! Basketball?! We can't be playing games at a time like this!"
"Just pass us the ball. Then we'll get back to work afterwards."
"All right. Here goes nothing."
Buddamon thrusts his arms forward and tosses the ball over towards War Dramon. The ball flew so fast that not even Gallantmon was able to keep up with the ball's speed. However, this was a piece of cake for War Dramon. The fusion warrior goes running out and snatches the ball in mid-air. War Dramon executes several somersaults before scoring a perfect slam-dunk through the loop.
War Dramon lands back down on their feet and gave a peace sign, which didn't set well for Buddamon.
"This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever done in my thousand year life."
"Ok, Buddamon! Now it's your turn! Go for it!"
War Dramon tosses the ball over to Buddamon, who catches it with ease. The panda looks down at the ball and gulps to himself.
"I have a really bad feeling about this."
"C'mon! You're holding up the game! Go for the shot!"
"All right! Here goes nothing!"
With that said, Buddamon goes rushing forward with great speed and then leaps right into the air and scores his own perfect slam dunk and then somersaults back down on the ground.
"All right, Buddamon! That's the way to go!"
Buddamon gave his own peace sign, as he looks right down at the ball nervously.
That was the perfect shot! You guys rock!" Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice.
War Dramon picks the ball up and then delivers a devastating kick to send the ball flying up into the skies above. Gallantmon leaps up and delivers a head butt to the ball. The ball goes straight down through the hoop. The ball then bounces off the ground and goes straight up into the air.
"Screw NBA Live! This is what it's all about!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Next on the list, soccer!"
"No! That's enough playtime! We have to get serious again, Daikeru," replied Buddamon, "All of these pointless games are going to get us killed."
"Aww, c'mon. You're just worried about the D-Reaper."
"That's the whole point!"
Suddenly, the ball-contained D-Reaper came flying down as if it were a meteor and then once it penetrated to the ground, there was a large explosion that swept across the landscape. As soon as the dust cloud faded away, the D-Reaper left a large crater in the center of the ground and the majority of the small town was left in fallen debris and rubble.
War Dramon looked right over to the large crater with great curiosity and waited for their enemy to come out and fight.
"Bah. I doubt D-Reaper is gone. She's much too strong to let that blast kill her off. Ah! Crap! That means we only got a few minutes to remain in this form."
Deep down in the shadows of the crater below, the D-Reaper starts to stir and regains her senses. The fusion warrior doesn't see her, as they started to believe that they actually killed the monster. D-Reaper overhears War Dramon's gloating
"Yeah! No kidding! This was one boring fight! I can't believe we were actually supposed to be afraid of this D-Reaper. What a joke!" War Dramon commented.
Suddenly, and out of nowhere, a huge blast of red light came shooting out from the crater. Gallantmon saw this and the force of the beam blew him away. However, War Dramon and Buddamon were the only ones that were able to get out of the way just in time before they were blown into smithereens.
They both turned around to see a large column of red energy erupting from the D-Reaper's limitless power.

Beelzebumon was blasting away more ADRs with the tremendous of ease as he made his way towards the sphere-shaped object floating around the twin towers of Hypnos.
"C'mon! You want a piece of me?! I've got plenty of more for you little punks! Come on! Bring it on!"
Just then, Beelzebumon felt the presence of several other kis nearby and looked down to see several familiar digimon doing battle against an army of drones.
"Well, looks like I got company. Lets see if I can go lend a hand!"
Beelzebumon goes sparing down to investigate the situation and then notices several of the Digi-Destined looking on from the distance. There stood Sora, Mimi, Joe, Cody, Ken and Yolei as their respective digimon were struggling against the ADRs.
"Whoa! Beelzebumon! What are you doing here?" Sora asked.
"Chill out. It looks like your digi-buds are in serious trouble. I'm here to lend a hand and kick some drone ass. What do you say?"
"We really appreciate the help," said Cody.
"Whatever."
Beelzebumon flies over towards the near defeated group of champions and ultimates. The digimon consisited of Zudomon, Garudamon, Lillymon, Ankylomon, Stingmon and Aquillamon.
"Beelzebumon! Thank goodness you came," said Stingmon.
"How did you know that we were here?" Zudomon asked.
"That doesn't matter right now. Ok, guys. Time to regroup. Let's send these jabornies packing where they belong! All right, D-Reaper! Bring it on! I'm had to hear with you and I plan on shutting you down for good!"
As soon as he said that, the ADR army came charging over towards the digimon group with Beelzebumon standing and holding out his trusty positron gun. He powers it up and several electrical charges were coming out.
"Death Slinger!"
He shoots out several blasts as everything within the scene of the battle went black.

War Dramon Level Three Fails?! Celesta X Ascends Back to Battle!
Earth. West Shinjuku.
Buddamon and War Dramon both turned around to see a column of red energy blasting out from the crater that the D-Reaper was laying. The blast was so great that it was even visible from the point of space itself. Both Buddamon and War Dramon were nearly vaporized as a result of this. They were barely able to move out of the way as the energy beam began to finally disappear. D-Reaper was standing in the middle of enlarged crater with a rather enraged look on her face.
"My goddramon! That blast would have been strong enough to even vaporize this entire planet of earth! We should be lucky that D-Reaper didn't release her maximum power or we would have been all day," Buddamon said to himself.
Enraged ay the monster's attack, War Dramon threw his arms out and started blasting away multiple ki blasts over at the fully powered D-Reaper. Now a bunch of billowing clouds were starting to form from all around them.
"Daikeru! You have to stop this! This amount of energy that you are using is enough to destroy this entire planet. Remember, this is earth. You're home world. You can't risk destroying it just to defeat the D-Reaper."
This eventually causes War Dramon to stop his relentless attack. They both watched over at the crater that contained the D-Reaper from within.
"Those blasts should have wasted the D-Reaper right about now," said War Dramon.
But soon his relief became sudden horrifying gasps as the D-Reaper quickly emerged from the crater after blasting out of the cracked ground. D-Reaper glares at them from the air and was beyond pissed.
"Shit! I can't believe that the D-Reaper is still as strong as ever. Even after all those blasts I threw I at her!" exclaimed War Dramon, "Damn it! Damn it!"
"No, she's only been mentally weakened. This is the actual first time that the D-Reaper has fought anybody close to her own level of power," Buddamon explained.
War Dramon then realizes that he scared the D-Reaper with his own power and started to rant on.
"Ha! I knew I would have done the D-Reaper in! She's scared more than ever! She knows that we're going to kick her ass! I can just see that look of pity on her face now."
"Don't be too overconfident just yet, Daikeru! Not just yet! The monster is about to attack with all of her strength! So be on guard."
However, War Dramon didn't take his warning seriously and started laughing hysterically over towards the ever-so pissed D-Reaper.
"No way! Her ass is grass!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper managed to charge forward with new, rapid speed and delivered a devastating head butt, catching the distracted warrior off guard. Not letting War Dramon recover, D-Reaper grabbed the fused warrior and quickly zoomed downward. She then smashed War Dramon down into the ground.
After lying through a pile of rubble, War Dramon manages to recover quickly and goes flying up into the air above. The two fighters go meeting in the air. War Dramon growled while rubbing his bruised face and gives the monster a glare.
"That hurt like a mother…"
****************************************************************************************
Other Side of the Digital World.
Just as Angewomon was receiving her power-up from Gosenzomon, the others were looking down at the orb and watched the whole battle between War Dramon and D-Reaper. Tai and Shintomon were praying for War Dramon to make a comeback against the monster as soon as possible.
"C'mon, Daikeru! You've got her now! Just keep her busy before Celesta X comes down and takes over from there," Shintomon said.
"I hope they pull it together and concentrate. They can not allow themselves to get distracted and allow the D-Reaper to recover," replied Tai.
Angewomon glanced over towards the others, and then back over towards Gosenzomon.
"Hey, Gosenzomon. When is our power-up ever going to finish? I'm losing my patience here."
But he noticed that Gosenzomon was too busy reading a porno magazine while giving Angewomon her power-up at the same time. This only managed to further irritate Angewomon.
"Oh give me a fucking break."

Earth. West Shinjuku.
Back over on the other side of the battle between D-Reaper and War Dramon, Beelzebumon was blasting away at an army of ADRs with his Death Slinger and easily disposed of them. He had arrived just in time to help the Digi-Destined and their digimon.
"And that's how it's done! You see that?! That's how it's done!" Beelzebumon said, "You guys think you can handle the rest of them?"
"Well, we'll give our all. We can't guarantee victory," Garudamon said, "We've never really fought against drones of the D-Reaper. The last one nearly killed us."
"Whatever. Just holler if you need me. I'll be over here taking out the trash Who wants some more?!"
"We'll take you're word for it. C'mon guys! Let's rumble!" exclaimed Stingmon.
"Remember to cut their cords!"
"Right!"
Stingmon and Aquillamon went over to attack one ADR. Stingmon used his fighting technique to knock around ADR-04 with rapid speed and then jumped away to allow Aquillamon to make his next move.
"Blast Rings!"
The force of the blast only managed stun the ADR for a moment, but then it soon regained its senses and went to attack. Stingmon phases out of nowhere with a purple blade already extracted from one hand. He goes swooping down upon the ADR and targeted the cord.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon managed to cut the cord and then jumps back down on his feet.
"Go for it, Stingmon!" Ken exclaimed.
"Aquillamon! That drone is weakened! Finish it!" Yolei cried out.
Stingmon cupped his hands together and starts firing away multiple shots over at the weakened ADR, while Aquillamon goes soaring down at the drone with his horns extracted and stabs them right through the ADR. Within a matter of moments, the drone was deleted.
"Yeah! Good team work. All right. See? I told you these drones weren't that tough. You just had to cut the cord on their little transmission from the chaos mass itself," Beelzebumon said.
"Good theory. The chaos mass is giving these ADRs their real strength. But once we cut them off, they're nothing more than weakened little puppies," Ken said, "You hear that guys! Go for the cords!"
"Right! Zudomon! Go!"
Zudomon and Ankylmon both charged over towards another ADR. The drone started firing away at them, but the two digimon both manuevered to the side with ease. Ankylomon goes jumping forward and lands right behind the drone. Zudomon raises his hammer and then slices right through the cord with tremendous force.
"Finish him, Ankylomon!"
"Tail Hammer!"
Ankylomon swung his heavy, club tail over at the weakened ADR and smacks him away into a nearby building. Just as it was about to recover, Zudomon comes jumping out of nowhere and nails it right in the forehead. Thiis resulted in the ADR's termination, as both Zudomon and Ankylomon stood triumphant.
"Wow. These guys aren't so bad when they work together. I guess they get their strength from their partners. Ah, well. At least I'm stronger than anyone of them wishes to be," the winged demon lord said in thoughts.
Garudamon and Lillymon were next as the last ADR stood in the middle of the battle zone. Since these two digimon were able to fly, the ADR was unable to shoot them when they were soaring too fast.
"Garudamon! Lets roast him!" Sora cried out.
"Don't give up, Lillymon!"
"Shouldn't I evolve to Rosemon?"
"That won't be necessary. Not until we really need it. Looks like we're doing just fine. Remember Beelzebumon is with us."
"You got a point. I'll become Rosemon when the situation worsens. That way I can conserve my energy. All right! Let's play, boys!"
The ADR goes flying up in order to catch up to his two adversaries, but Lillymon quickly maneuvered to the side and then cups her hands together. A green energy ball forms and then Lillymon pushed her hands forward at the ADR's cord.
"Flower Cannon!"
The energy ball came flying at a rapid speed, not even the ADR was able to detect it coming. As soon as the cord was cut off, the ADR was starting to power down which allowed Garudamon enough time to unleash a fiery phoenix bird over at the unsuspecting drone. As soon as the flames engulfed the drone, it was quickly wasted into data.
"Yeah! We did it!" exclaimed Sora, "Victory for us, Digi-Destined!"
"Hey! Hey! Aren't you forgetting about me? You should give me credit. I was the one who told you to go for the cords. Remember from the last battle. This was the second time that I ever save your hides. But next time, you're on your own. Well, I'm off! I've gotta a little business to take care of," Beelzebumon said as he went flying into the skies above.
"Well, he's certainly a smart guy," Mimi remarked sarcastically.
"Alright guys! Looks like we managed to clean up another side of town. You think we'll handle another drone extermination," Joe said.
"Well. There hasn't been anymore from what I've seen. But we better be careful, Digi-Destined. Remember to keep you're eyes peeled," Sora said.
They each nodded and went splitting up into a group of three. Sora and Mimi went off into the west section of the city. Cody and Joe ran off over to the east section. Yolei and Ken went off into the southern section. This way, they will prevent any ADR spread quicker and would make time more efficient.

[Disturbed "Stupify" plays]
Meanwhile, the battle between D-Reaper and War Dramon was under way and taking a turn for the worst as far as War Dramon was concerned. However, the fused warrior was able to pull off a very affective punch, which managed to slam D-Reaper through many nearby buildings. War Dramon charges at her, while flying low. D-Reaper manages to evade them and flies up into the air. She stretches out a long, elastic arm and snatches War Dramon off from the ground. She started to put the squeeze to War Dramon while choking him by the neck. The fused warrior was unable to break free but managed to do something that would break themselves free: by biting D-Reaper's arm.
She screamed out and releases her grip on War Dramon. The fused warrior charges back at her, but D-Reaper manages to open a hole in her torso and War Dramon goes flying right through it and then smashes right through a nearby building. However, they were able to stop themselves before actually smashing through the building, but D-Reaper charges at them and smashes them into the building anyway.
As soon as all of the dust and rubble cleared away, the two warriors faced each other off on the ground below. War Dramon was now beginning to become angrier than before. He goes lunging forward to deliver a kick to D-Reaper, but she quickly opens her mouth and shoots out a huge red blast that engulfed War Dramon and smashed right through nearby buildings, evaporating them to the ground.
As soon as all the smoke cleared away, War Dramon was charred and bruised, but was still in healthy condition. They go returned the favor and they shot out a blast of golden energy from out of their own mouth. D-Reaper goes falling to the ground with a stunned look on her face and she noticed that War Dramon was hot on her trail. They quickly battled towards the ground below, with the fused warrior seemingly gaining the upper hand at the very moment.
Quickly, before anything else, War Dramon ceased his attack and left D-Reaper all battered and bruised.
"D-Reaper! Now, here's you're going away present! I hope you enjoy it, because your life ends here."
War Dramon cups his hands together as a ball of energy starts forming in his hands. They were now preparing for the Seven Heavens blast, a technique that Celesta X had taught War Angemon. But just as luck was coming back to the fused warrior, soon came bad luck. War Dramon felt his power decrease tremendously. He was now out of his third level form and the bright aura that surrounded him was gone.
"What the hell is this?! We're back to normal! This can't be happening! Aw shit! Now what are I going to do?!"
["Stupify" fades]
****************************************************************************************
Back over at the old office building, which would been the temporary Hypnos headquarters, the Monster Makers crowded around the window and looked up over at the sphere at the top of the twin towers.
Izzy simply looked on with amazement as he and Tentomon were viewing the computer screen to monitor the progress of the sphere.
"Prodigious. The sphere is being powered from the D-Reaper itself, but for what reason, I have no idea."
"Maybe it decided to make itself a disco ball just for the heck of it. Perhaps, it wants to bring back the Disco Fever," Tentomon remarked, "Whatever it is, I consider it dangerous. Anything associated with D-Reaper is deadly. I just hope the others are becoming aware of this."
"You're right. They would know about the sphere forming. Otherwise. They would have no reason to even go up to explore it."
"Um, but there is actually somebody going up towards the sphere," Tentomon replied.
"Who?!"
"I don't know, but he looks pretty mean in leather black. It reminds me of one of those mean old bikers. I've never seen a digimon like him."
"Well, whatever he's doing is going to get him killed! He has no idea of what he's getting himself into!"
"You want me to stop him?"
"Not just wait. I need to see what he's planning to do. He could just be useful on our operation."
The two continued to view the monitor as they watched Beelzebumon's advancement towards the sphere above the D-Reaper chaos mass. A look of worry was coming across their faces.
"What's wrong, Izzy? Anything happen yet?" Talley asked.
"Yeah. Take a look at this."
Izzy moved to the side and allowed Talley to take a look at the monitor. She was stunned at what Beelzebumon was doing and then turns to face Yamaki.
"Sir! We've got some unsuspecting digimon advancing towards the sphere."
"What?! But why? Doesn't he realize that he's in the line of fire? We aren't even sure if that sphere is considered harmful."
"Don't forget, Mr. Yamaki. If anything is associated with the D-Reaper, it is will obviously very harmful," Izzy explained.
"Dangerous, with a capital D!" Tentomon remarked.
"Wow, this young man knows everything about these digimon. I've got to admit though, for being so intelligent, he's quite a cutie," Talley said in thought. "Wait?! Did I just say cutie? I mean, c'mon. He's cute and all, but I'm older than him. Well, just by a few years."
"Talley. We're going to have to get back into our positions. We really need to monitor that sphere," said Riley.
"Um, right."
As soon as everyone got into their positions, they were now focusing their concentration over the situation of the sphere and wanted to see what Beezlebumon was planning to do next.
****************************************************************************************
Kenta came running down an empty street and looked around to see several chaos bubbles emerging from the ground. He and Marine Angemon were in search of the other Tamers.
"I wonder where the others could be at. I mean, there has to be some sort of activity going on."
But his questions were soon answered as he looked up to see none other than Mega Gargomon and Sakuyamon soaring over the skies above.
"Hey! I'm willing to bet that's Henry and Rika! Lets go Marine Angemon."
Marine Angemon watches as a chaos bubble starts floating right in front of him and he shoots out a heart-shaped bubble, which easily put out the chaos. The glasses-wearing boy goes running off with Marine Angemon following his side.
****************************************************************************************
"All right, Henry. We have to find Takato and get back to help Justimon and Cyberleomon," Sakuyamon said, under Rika's voice.
"Agreed. So, you see anything in particular yet?" Mega Gargomon asked, under Henry's voice.
"Not yet. Wait, I'm picking up an energy signal from near by."
"Is it Gallantmon?"
Sakuyamon looked out forwards with a look of curiosity. She examined the D-Reaper chaos zone and was beginning to detect other large ki levels. But then, she was able to isolate those out and managed to pin point the location of Gallantmon.
"There over at the northern side. We can find Gallantmon there," said Sakuyamon.
"Lets head out."
"I just hope goggle head is alright. We can't let them get deleted. I never actually told Takato how I really feel about him," Rika said in thought.
"Earth to Rika. Shall we go now?"
"Yes. Follow my lead."
The two megas powered up auras and they went flying off into the far off distance, in order to make to Gallantmon's exact location.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, a situation was ensuing on the southern section of the D-Reaper mass. The armed forces had failed to apprehend the D-Reaper's agents. Now, they had another enemy to fend off. That was none other than the creature that was formatted from Tambourinemon and Cymbalmon's data. The demon tore it's way through a group of armed soldiers.
"Ha! Is that the best you humans can muster?"
A commander calls out to his soldiers to fire away at the demon. They began firing, but the shots did not have any effect on the demon. He simply laughs it off and phases in front of them. He simply puts out a hand in front of them. With one blast, he evaporates the soldiers ruthlessly.
"Yes, this shall draw Pikkan out of hiding," a dark voice spoke out.
The demon turned to face the cloaked figure. Demon looks on from on top of a water tower. It was just a short while ago since his last confrontation with Pikkan.
"How shall I finish the insolent fool, my lord?"
"Do not finish him quick. Allow me to deliver the final blow. Do not worry about anyone else interfering. My agents are keeping those meddling children and the Digi-Destined out of my way. The physical entity of the D-Reaper is taking care of that arrogant warrior named War Dramon. Without any of those nuisances, Pikkan has no allies to aid him. I take it that can pick up his ki?"
"I can check."
"Make sure to have a good lock on it. Do not let you're guard down."
"I will not disappoint you, my lord."
"See it that you don't."
Suddenly, as if he were expecting it, the demon turned to face the alterian. Pikkan stands with his arms crossed and he kept his eyes locked on the demon.
"Ah, it's good to see you again, alterian," the demon hissed.
"I sense Tambourinemon and Cymbalmon's data in you're body. I see Leomon and I underestimated you."
"I've developed a new trait, which is very rare. The data of those two demons were merged together as a result of a chemical imbalance throughout the external environment."
"What?"
"You should have been paying attention my friend," Demon's voice whispered through the wind.
Pikkan felt Demon's presence and by the look on his face, he certainly wasn't happy to listen to his old enemy again. Demon was simply playing head games with his adversary and keeps his mind unfocused on the demon standing before him.
"Since you're either one of those two demons we've just slaughtered, who are you now?"
"Just call me Drummon."
"Drummon? Well, Demon has some obsession with musical instruments if he's naming his minions after them. What's next, Flutemon?"
"You're such a smart ass punk!" Drummon cries out. "It's too bad you won't live long to see the next sunrise."
"No, I think that will be the other way around. I'm taking you're head."
"Obviously, you've forgotten what my soldier just stated earlier," Demon replied. "He formatted through the external environment. Do you see the D-Reaper mass surrounding the city? I've corrupted it with my essence. Therefore, I control every agent to my bidding. Though the physical D-Reaper entity originally created them, she's left that window of opportunity for me. So with the agents and the mass corrupted by my power, they cannot be extinguished unless the D-Reaper or I is destroyed."
"You're wrong. I just witnessed you're agents getting slaughtered by the Digi-Destined and the Tamer children!"
"You're forgetting one more minor detail. My agents are able to reformat after every defeat. Given the circumstance and amount of time, they will keeping formatting until those children's digimon give out. The same goes for Drummon. If you manage to slay him, he will simply return. There's no end to my power."
"Don't worry, Demon. I will find an end to you're insanity."
"Good luck attempting to defeat my precious demon, but I doubt you will even live long enough to witness the ascension of my ultimate power! Farewell to thee."
With tat said, Demon phases out leaving Drummon and Pikkan behind to battle it out. Pikkan removes his weighted garments and faces off with the demon.
"Weighted clothes, I see. It doesn't matter now. You're going to die here and now."
"Demon said you would reformat every time I kill you. You're power isn't flawless. I'll find a way to exterminate you."
"It's no use. This battle is already finished from the get go!"
"Then come and get me, you bastard!"
Pikkan goes charging at Drummon and throws out a fist. The demon simply phases out leaving the alterian wondering. Pikkan turns and is decked by a right hand. He returns the favor with an elbow shot to Drummon's forehead. Drummon stumbles back and is left wide open. Pikkan powers up and punches a hole through the demon's chest. Drummon looks on with horror as he saw a gaping hole in his chest. Pikkan stood his ground and prepared to deliver the final blow.
"Ready to die, jack ass?"
"You still don't get it, do you?!" Drummon laughed.
"What's that?"
As soon as the demon stopped chuckling, the gaping hole in his chest started to format back into one piece. Pikkan knew that would have happened and started to think of a new strategy to defeat him.
"What's the matter, alterian? Were you taken back by the result?!"
"No. As a matter of fact, I was well aware you would regenerate your wound."
"How persistent. Now, did you just call me a jack ass? Ha, who's the ass now?!"
"This creature has to have a weakness. Demon had this well thought out from the start. He wants me to get worn out from this fight and take advantage of my wounded pride. Demon, I may despise but you're a great strategist."
"Are we done day dreaming? Let's get this over with!"
Drummon phases in front of Pikkan and swung his fists at the alterian. Pikkan blocks out each blow with his shielded arms.
"Damn! He's quick!"
"Are we getting a little overwhelmed, my friend?! Am I too fast for you?!"
"Heh, no. But you left yourself wide open, again!"
Pikkan delivers a spinning back kick to Drummon's gut, which sent the demon crashing through a brick building. Pikkan pops his neck and grins.
"Not much on the skills department. I'll find you're weakness. Even if it kills me."
Looking on from far off, Demon witnessed his minion being beaten by the alterian. The time has come for the demon lord to take his leave and starts recovering from the wounds suffered by Pikkan. This would be the final straw. It's do or die the next time he and Pikkan face off.
***************************************************************************************
War Dramon stood in shock over what just happened. He lost his third level form due to perhaps an excessive time limit or perhaps the power requires so much energy that not even War Dramon can conserve it. He was completely unprepared for this turn of events. Currently, War Dramon was obviously now match against D-Reaper.
They stare right over towards D-Reaper in fear. The D-Reaper managed to recover in time from her stunned state as War Dramon slowly starts retreating.
"Hey!"
War Dramon froze in place and quickly turns around to face D-Reaper. All the fused warrior could do was giving off a little laugh. D-Reaper glares at them menacingly and then War Dramon says something that completely caught the monster off guard.
"We… We surrender…"
"That's it. They're finished," Buddamon said in thought while clenching his fists.
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe.
Tai and Agumon stood up with angry looks on their faces. Shintomon went over to try to calm them down, but Tai pushes the Supreme guardian away.
"Gosenzomon! You've got to hurry it up! D-Reaper has regained an advantage and is going to kill off Davis and TK! We can't wait any longer!" exclaimed Tai.
"Why. Just end the power-up! I'm sure Angewomon is ready anyway," Agumon remarked.
"You have to understand that our friends are out there risking their lives as we speak," Kari explained. "Please, just let Angewomon go. We'll take D-reaper even if the power-up isn't complete."
"Ha! Are you guys jerking my chain?! Angewomon has been done for a little while now," Gosenzomon announced.
Everybody has shocked looks across their faces, including Angewomon and Shintomon. Then they all face faulted over the elder's startling revelation. A hard smack echoed throughout the planet as Angewomon laid her hand across Gosenzomon's face.
"Why didn't you tell me that I was finished?!" Angewomon screamed. "Next time, don't look under my garments."
"Sorry about that. I just couldn't contain myself. Heh. Heh."
"Sure…"
"Now, I was delaying the completion, because I think it would be a little more dramatic if I were to let you go at the last minute," Gosenzomon replied.
"Ugh, you are such a drama queen…"

Digital Limbo
The atmosphere had a distinct darkness and certainly not a place for any pure-hearted person to reside for all eternity. That was not the case for the warrior, who holds the power of friendship. Despite having the trait of friendship, Metalla X has been nowhere close to showing true friendship towards his former enemies.
Screams were echoing across the desolate landscape. Several bodies were being flung across the landscape. Another fell flat on his face. The bodies turned out to be those of Skull Satan, Vajiramon and Marine Devilin. Burizalor was getting up from the ground as he spat dirt from his mouth. A shadowy figure came walking out from the smoke. The figure crossed his arms and chuckled.
"How does it feel, Burizalor? Tell me. How does it feel to be humiliated?"
"Damn you, Yamato! You won't humiliate me like this again! You just caught me off-"
Just as the former warlord was going to finish his statement, Metalla X phases in front of Burizalor and delivers a fist to his gut. Burizalor gasps out. Marine Devilin rushes to aid his leader, but was caught with an elbow shot to the face. Metalla X's arms extended out to deliver the blow. The warrior rushes towards Vajiramon and executes a club blow to his back. Vajiramon roars as he falls face first. Skull Satan attempted to run away, but Metalla X phases in front of him.
"Going somewhere, ass clown?"
"No! Wait, let's make a truce!"
"Sorry, I don't oblige!"
The warrior places a hand in front of Skull Satan and knocks him back with an energy blast. Burizalor slowly makes it to his feet.
"I won't let you destroy what's left of my pride," Burizalor replied.
"I don't recall you ever having any pride. You're a spineless worm, who used me as a puppet to do you're evil bidding. I just so love revenge. It feels so sweet."
"Yamato!" another familiar voice calls out.
"Ah, so I take you were watching me kick the crap out of this piece of shit. Want some this?"
"I think I'll pass," Virus spoke through the shadows.
The evil artificial came walking out with an arrogant look on his face. Metalla X stood his ground.
"Do not fret, Yamato. I have not come to fight you. After all, we do share a common trait. We lust to be the best there is. I know you even better since you are apart of me."
"You maybe right on you're points, Virus. But, there's one slight difference. I actually risked my life for the sake of others unlike you."
"Yes and look where it has led you. You're trapped in limbo for all eternity and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Heh."
Metalla X growled under his breath and flashed an aura. Virus was by the warrior's sudden power-up and decided it was time to let Matt have his way with the fallen Burizalor.
"Yamato… Stop… this madness…"
"Oh you want me to stop after all that crap you've put me through?! I'm still going to enjoy everything you did to me!"
Unaware that he is being watched upon, a girl looks on with a hurtful expression. She couldn't bear to see Metalla X's position in limbo. She felt that he deserved another chance to redeem his ways.
"Oh father. If only you hadn't gone out of the way to give up your own life. There are friends that need you. You can't go beating other people just to satisfy your own needs. Maybe I can work an arrangement with the Powers that be. I can convince them to give Matt another chance. It's a long shot, but I'll give it a try. Just hang on, father. I'm getting you out of this hell hole."
The girl known as Keke rushes out through a secret passage door where only the living could enter. Since Metalla X was technically dead, he is unable to gain access to any of these dimensional doorways. Would it be time for him to return to the world of the living? Time will tell. It was up to the order to make that decision. Maybe he will be given a chance to help his comrades against the D-Reaper.

["Nookie" by Limp Bizkit plays]
Justimon and Cyberleomon were still holding their own as they were battling the ever-so powerful green hulk himself, ADR-06. ADR-06 goes charging at the two fighters, while Jeri, Kazu and Guardromon were watching on from the background.
"C'mon, Leomon! Give you're best shot!"
Cyberleomon pulls out his saber and starts slicing at ADR-06's side, but the hulking monster knocks the metallic mega away with a thrusting forearm smash. Justimon goes to take advantage of the distracted monster and his hand expands into large size.
"Thunder Clap!"
Justimon smashes his rather, large hand onto the ground and it causes a sudden vibration and a long crack was forming. ADR-06 screamed out as a blast came shooting out from the crack trail.
"We might not be putting a dent on our good friend, Bruce Banner, but we have succeeded in pissing him off!" Kazu cries out.
"Who is this Bruce Banner?" Guardromon asked. "Another one of those human celebrities you've been babbling to me about?"
"No! He's the Incredible Hulk! You ought to check out his comic series. He's famous in this side of the dimensional universe."
"I'll take you're word for it."
"Besides this big, green jerk reminds me of the Hulk. That's why I'm calling him Bruce Banner."
"Can you two save the comic crap for another time?!" Cyberleomon exclaimed.
"Oh, boys will always be boys!" Jeri muttered.
"All right! There's no time to waste. We better take him down before he has anymore chances to recover," Justimon said, under Cyberdramon's voice. "I'm with you, Cyberdramon!"
Justimon leaps up into the air and quickly phases out which caught ADR-06 by surprise. Justimon phases right in front of ADR-06 and delivered a thrust kick into the monster's chest.
"Justice Kick!"
The kick only managed to knock the monster down. Kazu and Guardromon cheered on.
"Yeah! That should do the trick!" Kazu said.
But his celebration was soon stopped short as ADR-06 came rising from under the piles of rubble and picked up a pile of debris and was about to toss it over towards Justimon and Cyberleomon.
"Aw man! What are we going to do now?! I got it! Guardromon! Time to become heroes!"
"I'm with you, Kazu! Guardian Barrage!" Guardromon cried out as he shot missile over at the ADR.
But the missiles nailed the debris that the ADR was holding instead of the monster itself. This caught ADR-06 by surprise as he turned his attention over to Kazu and Guardromon. Justimon looks over towards Kazu and waves over to them.
"Yeah, there's some sweet revenge, Bruce!"
"Thanks guys!" Justimon called out, under Ryo's voice.
"Hey did you hear that Guardromon? Ryo said thanks. Isn't that just way cool or what?!"
"Way cool!"
"Ha! Take that Bruce Banner!" Kazu insults the large green agent.
However, that Incredible Hulk insult didn't suite too well for the monster. The hulked up giant came charging over towards Kazu and Guardromon with a vengeance.
"Oh man! Did you know that I was just kidding?! I didn't mean to call you by you're human identity! You're the Incredible Hulk! No! You're the Jolly green Giant! Can't you just take a joke?!" Kazu exclaimed.
"Well, I'm not! Let's dance, Brucey!" cries out Guardromon.
The robotic ultimate goes flying out over towards ADR-06 and goes to attack him. However, Justimon was able to jump in and used his Excel Arm to smash ADR-06 and send him flying through a nearby building.
"Alright! Talk about sweet revenge!" Kazu remarked.
"Awesome! We did it!" Jeri said.
But just as Justimon was about to walk away, ADR-06 comes leaping out from the smoke cloud. He was now bigger than before and Justimon turned around to be grabbed by the neck. ADR-06 tosses Justimon to the side and went over to crush him. But as soon as he stepped on Justimon, he lifted his foot up and saw nothing flattened under his feet. He looks on with a confused look on his face as he turned around to be met with a spinning back kick from Justimon and an energy blast from Cyberleomon. The two attacks managed to take ADR-06 down to the ground and a loud thundering fall was heard echoing throughout the city.
["Nookie" ends]

"Thunder Flash Attack!"
Drummon was sent crashing back as streaks of electricity emitted throughout his body. Pikkan kept the attack on Drummon for quite a while until the demon exploded into a packet of data. However, the data reformatted back into Drummon's regular form.
"Damn it… What's it going to take to kill this fat bastard?!"
"You should have figured it out by now, alterian! Think fast!"
Drummon phases out and reappears behind Pikkan. The demon raises his fist and goes for a club to the back. Pikkan ducks under and snatches the demon. He flings Drummon on his back and flies up to the air. Pikkan cries out and throws Drummon to the ground.
"Banzai!"
The alterian lets out a battle cry as he dropped towards the ground and delivers a devastating head butt to the fallen demon. Pikkan leaps out from the crater and catches his breath.
"All right, that should do it. Are you ready to give up?"
His question was answered by a slight chuckle. Pikkan growls at the sight of Drummon crawling out from the hole. The alterian was growing very frustrated.
"This guy has now cord for me to cut, so it doesn't matter how I destroy him!"
"That's right and you're going to get exhausted from all these intense maneuvers you've been pulling off. You just screwed yourself over."
"No… I can't lose to like this… If only you had a weakness… Wait, maybe I have been overlooking this guy after all! Yes, that's it! Shit, why was I so stupid?! His weakness is his… I'm going to hate doing this…"
"C'mon, alterian! I'm bored just looking at you. If you aren't going to make you're move, then I will!"
With that said, Drummon phases behind Pikkan and applies a headlock. Pikkan slightly struggles and grins. The alterian kicks Drummon below the belt, which caused the demon's eyes to bulge. Drummon held his injured groin.
"Oo, that will ruin you're weekend. Now to top that off! Thunder Flash Attack!"
Pikkan blasts Drummon away with his ultimate technique. The demon was turned into a packet of lost data as a result of this.
"You're an idiot! You should have realized that my body will reform…"
"Who said I'm going to allow you to reform. No, what I'm about to do is absorb you're data!"
"No! You wouldn't!"
"Like hell I will. As much as I despise taking another digimon's data, I have no choice in this case. As a matter of fact, you disgust me. Anybody associated with that scum, Demon, should be erased from this plane of existence. So, say goodbye, demon!"
"No! You can't!"
The demon's data was now being absorbed into Pikkan's body. The alterian felt rather uncomfortable about having to absorb data. He felt that it was below his status, since lower-level digimon absorb data to get stronger. Pikkan is of the higher elite. However, he simply had no choice and did not want to drag the fight any longer than he intended to. Pikkan sighed a relief and looks towards the D-Reaper chaos mass.
"The mass is spreading and there's no telling how long it will continue to grow. I feel a strong ki coming from the D-Reaper's physical entity. Another kis is dropping. This guy is going down against D-Reaper. I can certainly guarantee that. Feh, my only concern is Demon. Once I shut him down, then I'll focus my attention on the D-Reaper. Demon, wherever you are, I'm coming for you next."
***************************************************************************************
War Dramon starts backing away with a terrified look on his face. Even with his best ability, he was still no match for the D-Reaper. D-Reaper started approaching the warrior. War Dramon goes for his last resort, their clone technique.
"Super Ghost Kamikaze!"
The fused warrior spits out numerous ghosts, which started to swarm around him. D-Reaper looks on with disappointment.
"They're all each just as powerful as we are at this very moment. Lets see you go through this. Ghosts, attack D-Reaper and don't let your guard down!"
The ghosts did as they were ordered and started to encircle D-Reaper. However, they were starting to hesitate and were nervous on attacking the fully powered D-Reaper. War Dramon was starting to get visibly annoyed as they screamed out.
"I said, attack them now! What are you all waiting for?!"
As soon as the ghosts were charging forward D-Reaper from all directions, the monster simply took a deep breath and blew them all backward. They soon knock into one another and start to explode. This proved that the technique was not going to be useful anymore. War Dramon takes advantage of the situation and flees. However, D-Reaper was able to trace his ki and shoots out a red blast at them. War Dramon barely dodged away to the side. A grin formed across D-Reaper's face, as she saw nothing but fear across the face of War Dramon.
"We're screwed. We're totally screwed," the warrior stated.
"More like fucked up. Heh. Heh."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a certain goggle-wearing boy was starting to regain his senses. It was none other than Takato. He looks over and saw his red dinosaur partner moving about through the debris. Takato sits up and jumps up in surprise as if he were ready to face the D-Reaper. However, he was away from where the battle was taking place.
"What just happened? I remembered a red blast coming out from the ground and we were blown away. Geez, I must have hit my head pretty hard. Aw, crap. We're not in mega form anymore!"
Takato and Guilmon found themselves already de-evolved and watched, as the hand from the D-Reaper mass was about to reach out and grab them.
"Takato! Look out!"
"Crap! Guilmon! Move away!"
"Hold on, Takatomon!"
Just then, a wave of heart-shaped bubbles started to gather and float around the chaos hand. The bubbles seemed to be driving away the hand. Takato and Guilmon quickly looked on with shock and couldn't believe what they were seeing. Then they heard a tiny voice breaking up the sudden silence.
"Khuna Waves!"
The chaos hand was then driven away back into the D-Reaper blob mass. They turned to see none other than Marine Angemon and Kenta. The glass-wearing boy walks over to his comrade with a relieved look.
"Kenta?! Marine Angemon?!"
"Hey, Takato. We knew that you guys needed our help, so we came."
"Yeah, thanks for saving our necks back there. But did Marine Angmeon just use those heart bubbles? I mean he was able to drive away the chaos hand."
"Uh huh. This little guy is so full of surprise. Now let's get out of here and meet up with the others," Kenta said.
"Takato!" a much familiar voice called out.
Takato looked up to see Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon landing down. A smile formed across the goggle boy's face. He was so glad to know that Rika and Henry were still alive.
"Rika! Henry! Thank goodness you two came! You guys should have seen the fight between War Dramon and D-Reaper! First, they brawled, then we had a little basketball game and then we were blasted away. Sounds cool, huh?"
"Huh?! What are you talking about?" Mega Gargomon asked through Henry's voice.
"Maybe, he was smoking that chronic again!" Terriermon replied.
"Terriermon."
"I'll explain everything once we get out of here," the goggle boy replied.
"Agreed. We should be getting the heck out of here. Ready, Marine Angemon?"
"Pipipi!"
With that said, Sakuyamon picks up both Guilmon and Takato while Mega Gargomon picked up Kenta and Marine Angemon. They were soon heading out back towards where the battle between Justimon and ADR-06 was taking place.
*****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital World.
Angewomon sat up as she clenched her fists and then pounded them together. She turned around to face Gosenzomon.
"So, Gosenzomon, how am I able to change into the form that surpasses my limits?" the she asked frantically.
"Well, you will have to summon you're energy much like how you normally ascend to your next level of digivolution," Gosenzomon replied, "It's that simple but requires a lot of energy on your part. Take this sword."
A long sword formed in Gosenzomon's hand and he quickly tosses it to Angewomon. The female examined it and swung it around. It almost felt like swinging the heavyweight sword known as the Omega Blade. In fact, it looked like an exact replica.
"This looks just like the Omega Blade."
"Actually, it's a replica. It has half of its power, but should still be quite useful for you. The real strength lies within you. Now summon you're power."
Angewomon quickly started to power-up, and then an immense surge of energy shot out and almost made everyone fly away. Everybody watches on in awe at Angewomon's new massive power. The power-up was enough to rip off the grass off of the planet and caused major shockwaves. Kari looks on as her D-3 started going off. She cries out as she gets pulled towards Angewomon. They merged together as Celesta X took their place. As soon as the transformation was complete, Celesta X was now standing with new Amazonian attire. Her pink and white clothing was now replaced by a pure white and blue. There were now streaks of electricity emitting in the palm of her hands and the blade itself. She was now indeed massively powerful than ever.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I would like you all to meet Mystic Celesta."
"Wow! You rock, Celesta X! You should have the power to defeat the D-Reaper! You can't be beaten!" Tai exclaimed.
"Hikari! You should be heading off to earth while there's still time remaining," Shintomon said.
With that said, Shintomon holds out the palm of his hand and a portal started to open up. This would enable Mystic Celesta to travel back into the real world.
"Tai? Aren't you coming along with us?" asked Mystic Celesta.
"No. Agumon and I are going to stay. We've got a big favor to ask from Shintomon. But you better keep you're guard up and be careful! Listen, I helped pass the torch to you. You've proven you're worth. You sure haven't let that fire burn you out. You carried the torch just well. You saved the world and the digital universe once. It's time to play the hero again."
"Remember, the power of the Omega Blade lies in your hands, Hikari," the orange reptile said.
"We understand. I won't let you down, Tai!"
Mystic Celesta rushes over and gives her elder brother a tight hug. Tai returns the favor. The siblings embraced for perhaps the last time. Mystic Celesta releases her grip and walks over to the portal.
"Now go be the hero, sis."
Mystic Celesta turns around and gives thumbs up to her elder brother. Tai returns one to his sister.
"I'll bring back D-Reaper's head on a platter. I promise you, big brother."
With that said, Mystic Celesta rushes through the portal. The female was ready for perhaps one of her toughest task since the battle with Virus seven years ago. It was now time to play Earth's savior once again. Tai did not bother going because he felt that the time has come for another Kamiya to save the planet. That other Kamiya would be none other than his younger sister.
"I trust in you sis. X, did I do the right thing?"
Suddenly, Tai turns to see the masked warrior kneeling against a tree. Shintomon was taken back by the sudden arrival of X.
"Yes, Tai. She'll win. You just have to believe in her. After all, a Kamiya never quits. Kari is no different."
This easily brought a smile to Tai's face. Their worries were now shattered and the hope of mankind has been brought forth.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The battle between Justimon and Cyberleomon against ADR-06 was now turning for the worst as the drone was getting the best of them with rough, powerful tactics. Jeri could only look on as the drone was pummeling her digimon.
"What are we going to do?! The digimon are getting pummeled out there!" Jeri exclaimed, "And I don't have enough modify cards to help Leomon."
"Well, you better of something quick. Things are not looking well for Leomon. That's all I got to say! Bruce is sure isn't going to go easy on them!" Kazu replied.
ADR-06 was about to make his next move and raised his clubbed fists to put the final blows to both Cyberleomon and Justimon. Until, he heard a voice calling out from out of nowhere.
"Spirit Strike!"
The golden-clad warrior shoots out a wave of fox spirits that attached themselves to the ADR and watched as they started to burn right through him. The green monster cries out angrily and then Mega Gargomon comes up next to attack.
"Hey, Jolly Green Giant! Say hello to our little friend! Burst Shot!"
"Heh. I picked that line up from Scarface the movie,"Terriermon remarked.
The robotic mega blasts the ADR away with the barrage and it knocks him way back. A huge cloud of some formed around the fallen beast. Kazu and Jeri turned as they saw Takato, Guilmon and Ketan running towards them.
"Hey guys! Sorry we're late!" Takato called out.
"Dude! Where have ya been? You should have seen me out there kicking some D-Reaper tail!" Kazu said.
"Its good to see you again, Takato!" Jeri said.
"Yeah. I'm so glad we're all reunited. How's Cyberleomon and Justimon been holding that thing off?" the goggle boy asked.
"Well, before Sakuyamon came to stop him, Bruce was about to kill them," Kazu said, "But now we're getting our sweet revenge!"
"Bruce?"
"Yeah, doesn't that thing remind you of the Incredible Hulk?!"
"Sort of… Look! There isn't time for anymore of those comic book knockoffs!"
The ADR leaped from out of the smoke and then grabbed Justimon. The monster attempts to take a bite out of the mega.
"This guy needs to brush his teeth more!"
Justimon cries out as the ADR tightened his grip on him. Suddenly, the ADR got pulled short as he looked down to see none other than Antiramon.
"Going somewhere?"
The ADR-06 cried out angrily as he struggled to break free of Antiramon's grip.
"Justimon! Now!"
"With pleasure!"
Justimon started to power up as his arm transformed into an long weapon with a small, red blade at the very tip of it. He goes and then jumps into the air to raise his blade.
"Voltage Blade!"
With that said, he slices off the cord of ADR-06 and watches as the monster cries out before it was quickly disintegrated. Justimon lands back down on his feet and then faces Antiramon.
"Buh-bye, Bruce!" Kazu cries out.
"We did it. And I couldn't have done it without you Antiramon."
"I knew you were in trouble. So I decided to lend a hand."
"And to that I say, thank you."
"It was my pleasure."
"And thank you Cyberleomon, for helping me holding off that beast."
Cyberleomon nodded his head while healing his wounds that were inflicted on him during the course of the battle itself.
The Tamers soon regrouped and started heading out to a much safer place since the drones were still out patrolling their domains.
"Rika, what's wrong?" Sakuyamon asked her human partner from within.
"I still wonder about that Alice girl? Who was she? I really wanted to thank her before she left…"
"Yes, I'm sure she is grateful. She did allow us to regain our mega forms. If it wasn't for her and Dobermon, we would have been gone."
"Wherever you are. Thank you, Alice…"
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere and away from the city of West Shinjuku, Mystic Celesta found herself within the middle of a mountainous region.
"Hmmm. I wonder why I was sent here. All right, I'm going to pick up their location."
The female closed her eyes and immediately picked up a powerful ki from West Shinjuku. She opened her eyes and nodded.
"All right. I'm sensing the D-Reaper's location over at West Shinjuku! Don't worry, TK. Davis. I'm on my way to clean up this mess!"
Within the speed of light, Mystic Celesta travels out towards her destined location and prepared herself for the single, most devastating force to ever set feet onto two worlds.
****************************************************************************************
Alice found herself walking down a street and then heard a voice calling out to her.
"Alice…"
The girl quickly turns around and looks around to the source of the voice, but she saw nothing. Not even a trace of the source itself. She could have sworn to hear Dobermon calling out to her, but nothing in particular. She continued moving on as she faded out into the streets.
"Dobermon. Is this our fate? Will he return to this world? It looks like I must find these answers to my questions on my own…"
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, War Dramon was in serious trouble as the D-Reaper began to pummel him away with furious fists and kicks. War Dramon was starting to tire out as D-Reaper grabs him by the neck and then flings him through a nearby building ledge. At that very moment, the fusion time limit runs out and War Dramon splits up back into Imperialdramon and War Angemon. They both stared in absolute horror as the D-Reaper walks slowly towards them.
"Oh no! Our fusion limit is up! Shit, we're screwed!"
Will D-Reaper finish off both Imperialdramon and War Angemon with one final blow? Can the Tamers defeat the last of the ADR army? Why is Beelzebumon going to investigate the sphere situation and what does he intend to do? Will Demon finally confront Pikkan? And will Mystic Celesta arrive back on time to stop the D-Reaper? Hurry up, Kari! Time is of essence! The planet is in danger of becoming a wasteland!

Kari: Hiya! This is Kari! I finally make my grand entrance as Mystic Celesta. I just hope that power-up from that old geezer was really worth it.
D-Reaper: Ha! Ha! I remember you! I defeated you easily!
Mystic Celesta: I'm a lot different from before, D-Reaper. Now, you'll be on the receiving end of a butt kicking!
War Angemon: Whoa! Kari is amazing!
Izzy: Project G is complete!
Yamaki: All right! It's time to initiate Project D!
Gallantmon: What is that?!
[A red glider appears out of nowhere above the battle ensuing between the Tamers and Digi-Destined combination against the agent army.]
Pikkan: Demon! I've defeated all of you're cronies! This time! It ends here!
Demon: Splendid. You may have defeated my men, but my agents are spreading like wildfire. What are you going to do stop them? What is that?!
Gallantmon: Look out everyone! Grani is coming through!
D-Reaper: This isn't over, Celesta X! I will not rest until I see you die!
[Two globs of ooze appear behind Buddamon, War Angemon and Imperialdramon. A sadistic grin forms across D-Reaper's face.]

SSJ4T: We hope you enjoyed that action-packed chapter! The next chapters will pick up the pace with more kick-ass battle scenes! Some of which will be out of this world! Anyway, for those of you concerned with the Millenniummon thing with Ryo and Ken, you'll be seeing more hints of that as we advance through the D-Reaper saga. However, Millenniummon will have a big part in the fourth Digimon Fusion season.
Max: Are there going to be any other fusion levels in the fourth season besides Omega X's fourth ascension level?
SSJ4T: I'm not so sure. I'm still thinking of a way to work through the evolutions. I've got the list of villains planned out. Some of which will be returns of some.
Coral: Don't tell me that Burizalor might come back?
SSJ4T: Maybe, maybe not. You could. He's certainly a character that can't be forgotten. Anyway, be sure to check out the latest Zero Two fic. The War Games are just about underway and you can expect a preview for Digimon Fusion Season Four soon. Until then, we're out! Peace!

Mystic Celesta's Takes Stage! Grani's Arrival!
Earth. West Shinjuku
There an intense moment occurring as the D-Reaper grinned evilly towards the two fallen fusion warriors, War Angemon and Imperialdramon. Buddamon stood by and could do nothing to save them but throw his precious life away.
"They should have destroyed her when they had the chance! Damn it! War Dramon was an incompetent jackass! They had plenty of opportunities to destroy her but they were wasting time! Damn it!"
"So, you think that we're going to die, Davis?" asked War Angemon.
"Not a chance! We're not giving up. That bitch is asking for it!" Imperialdramon replied.
"There he goes in the usual cocky Davis mode," War Angemon thought.
The warriors' bodies were so beaten up and were unable to move. They knew very well that their bodies would come to an end. As soon as D-Reaper stepped forward, they could feel her presence being felt. It almost seemed like the end.
That is until, Buddamon phases between the two fusion warriors and the D-Reaper herself with his arms outstretched. D-Reaper was caught by surprise, but was yet pleased.
"D-Reaper. I'm offering the chance for you to battle me. Even if I die, I'm willing to do it to allow these two to survive."
"Buddamon! You can't! Your going to get yourself killed!" War Angemon cried out.
"Its suicide!" Imperialdramon said, "Don't do it! You're taking it the wrong way."
Suddenly War Angemon noticed something peculiar of what Buddamon was doing. A slight smile forms across his face as he turned to face Imperialdramon.
"What is it, TK?"
"Don't worry. I think Buddamon has a plan. He almost always doesn't go without one."
"Really? Well that's a relief and here I was starting to worry."
Buddamon was about to speak until he noticed that the D-Reaper was frozen and was in a sort of sleep mode. The creature started snoring loudly. He and the two fusion warriors were quickly shocked at what they were seeing. How could the D-Reaper sleep at a time like this?
"I can't believe you just put her to sleep, Buddamon. You truly must be magical," said War Angemon.
"Ha. I wish. I think the D-Reaper just froze for no apparent reason. She's already in sleep mode. This might be a good time to get away and think of a good battle strategy."
"Right. I say we get the hell out of the city. I would hate to be the janitor to clean this shit up," Imperialdramon said.
The three nodded to each other as they started flying off into the distance and towards out of the city. Imperialdramon looks back down towards the sleeping D-Reaper and was just as confused as ever.
"But why would she been sleeping at a time like this? Is she reloading or something? Maybe I could give her a few whacks like I do to my computer."
"Bad move, Davis. Unless, you want to put out lives in jeopardy!"
"I think something happened to the chaos mass and it could have caused a chain reaction for the two entities," said Buddamon, "But we should be able to get away from a far distance. We'll let the Tamers and the other Destined take care of the D-Reaper agents."
"Agents?" Imperialdramon asked.
"Yes. The D-Reaper isn't just one being. Ever since requiring the data of everything it deletes and absorbs, it uses that data and enhances it to create a sort of drone army. They are called Agents of D-Reaper, otherwise known as 'ADRs'. Unfortunately, Shintomon sent me a telepathic message that Demon has corrupted the mass itself."
"So we have to deal with D-Reaper and this… Demon! Didn't Kari defeat him years ago!"
"No, Daisuke. That was the younger, more arrogant brother of this Demon. The Demon who has been corrupting the mass is the older, wiser brother. He's perhaps even deadlier. There's no time to lose. We have to find Demon and put a stop to his plans!"
"I see. Then the D-Reaper must be resting to transfer some of her energy into the mass to give enough power for the ADRs," War Angemon said, "Seemingly, it's a power struggle between D-Reaper and Demon. Hmph. I couldn't have thought of that myself, if I were to have known a little more about the D-Reaper. Thanks for enlightening us, Buddamon."
"My pleasure, Takeru. We also by ourselves some time for you two to fuse together once again and fight as War Dramon. From there, you can reach your maximum power and battle the D-Reaper again."
"Good strategy," Imperialdramon said, "I wonder how Kari and Gatomon are holding off in that power-up training."
Buddamon stops frozen for a minute as he felt a powerful presence starting to near and his eyes widened like never before. The two fusion warriors took notice of this and were confused. But soon, they felt that same ki presence.
"Its huge! Can you feel it, Davis?" War Angemon asked.
"Yeah. It's… Whoa! That's impossible! It couldn't be!" Imperialdramon said with enthusiasm.
The three warriors looked up ahead and saw a flashing point in the far off distance as if something were reaching up towards them at the speed of light itself. They could easily recognize whom the power belonged to, but they wouldn't believe how powerful they have now actually gotten, even under a short period of time.
Somewhere down in the middle of the street, a black Hypnos truck was speeding down the road. Inside was none other than Tamers, minus Ryo. Guardromon followed it by merely using his boosters to fly. Renamon was catching up to it by foot and didn't look like she was about to tire out so soon.
The Tamers were now being taken towards the temporary Hypnos headquarters for now since the D-Reaper Chaos Zone had already engulfed nearly half the portion of the Hypnos buildings.
"Wow, that's the D-Reaper mass? Nearly all of central West Shinjuku is engulfed by that blob mass. We can thank Demon for this. If only we knew how to stop him," said Henry, "If we don't do something quick, it's going to end up engulfing our whole city."
"I'm just glad my family managed to find a safer place," Rika said.
"Mine too. But, how are we actually going to defeat the chaos mass if the army of the sovereigns were unable to defeat it," Takato pondered. "Then again, who's going to keep an eye on that creep, Demon?"
"Well, this sucks. First we a deadly jello mass trying to engulf our city and then we have another psycho maniac trying to destroy our world," Kazu said.
"Where did Leomon go?" Jeri asked, "He didn't come with us."
"He's out patrolling the city," Kenta said, "From what he told us, he had some things to do then he'll catch up with us later."
"By the way. Where the heck did Ryo go?" asked Takato.
"Ugh. I bet being his typical self. He's so reckless," Rika said with an irritated tone in her voice.
Meanwhile, a dark presence was being felt across the D-Reaper chaos mass. The presence came from a cloaked figure with a pair of demonic wings. The cloaked figure chuckled as he fed more dark energy to the mass. It began to glow with a dark purple aura.
"I see those children were able to handle my first set of agents. I think I should at least be considerate and turn it up a notch."
Suddenly, a pair of yellow mouths started to pop out from the mass. Demon phases away from getting caught by the mouths and manipulated them under his power.
"It seems the D-Reaper wants to play a little power struggle with me. Foolish creature. You're just a tool to help crush the children. Once you finish the job, I won't have anymore use for you. Huh?"
Just then, Demon felt a ki from down below the city. He peered down to see Justimon running across the streets. The demon lord slightly chuckled and points his finger to the mega.
"There, my precious agent. There is one of those meddling children. Make him our first casualty."
With that said, the newly created monster made its way through the mass and towards the city. Demon looks on with anticipation. Suddenly, he felt another ki. This one far surpassed anything he's ever felt before.
"What was that! There's a powerful being heading this direction. It seems this individual has decided to take matters against the D-Reaper. Just as long as this one doesn't interfere with my work, I should be fine."
Unknown to the demon lord, Pikkan looks on behind a billboard. The alterian suppressed his ki, in order to conceal himself from Demon.
"It ends here, Demon."
Elsewhere, Justimon leapt up into the air and then landed back onto the ground. He went hiding behind a wall ledge and watched as several ADR-04 float by in their usual formations.
"Ryo? You see anything yet," Justimon asked, under Cyberdramon's voice. "Nothing. But I did see some drones pass by. I don't think that they noticed us. We're going to have to suppress our ki."
Justimon started to lower down his ki and sighed a relief to realize that he wasn't caught yet. Just then, several ADR-04's appeared from behind him.
"Um! We spoke too soon, Ryo!" exclaimed Justimon.
The ironclad warrior goes leaping up into the air and then comes down with his 'Justice Kick' to take down several of the ADr-04 with tremendous ease.
Back over at the old Hypnos headquarters, everyone had gathered around. Those included the Monster Makers, the Wild Bunch, the Tamers & their parents, and half of the Digi-Destined.
Izzy and Daisy were hard at work modifying the secret weapon that Izzy had planned on creating as the 'ultimate weapon' to battle against the D-Reaper. They watched as it was floating patiently within the new digital world. They managed to bring up some facial and body features especially custom made for the device.
"Here we go, Yamaki. Here's an outline of what it will look like," Izzy said.
"Excellent and you equipped it with the digital world's strongest metal, chrome digizoid."
The Destined gathered around as they looked in awe at what he was modifying on the computer screen.
"Wow. I wish I had one of those," Yolei said.
"Hmph, but you already have me," Hawkmon replied.
"Wow, is this thing part of their secret project that you were talking to us about sometime ago but never came out into plan since there weren't anymore dangers occurring between the two worlds," Sora asked, "That looks amazing."
"I had planned on using this during the actual War games against Virus and it would have had the energy to destroy even Virus himself. But since Tai and Kari reached new levels of digital fusion power, I had to scrap this idea. But now it's the perfect time to use it. How's it going over there Mr. McCoy?"
"Its doing well, Izzy. I'm now going to integrate some parts on the computer into the actual weapon on the computer. It shouldn't be able to take that long."
"Great. Let me know on anymore updates. I'm here whenever you need me."
Shibumi goes walking forward to his fellow Monster Makers while eating a rice ball. He took a look on the monitor and examined the new weapon that they were creating.
"So, what is this thing supposed to be called?" Shibumi asked.
"It's called Zero Arms Grani," said Yamaki, "It's efficient, durable and its armor is contained of the strongest metal in the digital world, chrome digizoid."
"Oh. I see. You guys are loonier than I am."
Shibumi then turns to face the Tamers and walks over to them. He then turns his attention over to Henry.
"Can I see your D-Ark just really quick?"
"You want to see it?"
"Hey! What gives you any right to take a look at his D-Ark. It's his and nobody else should get their grubby hands on it," Terriermon remarked.
"Um, Terriermon. It's okay. Don't mind him, Mr. Mizuno, buts a little bit on the wacky side."
"Don't worry and besides I took everything he just said as compliments."
He then walks right over towards the Destined group.
"It seems you two have different models. Izzy told me that the ones he and the older Destined had were digivices, but the younger ones had D-3s. Please, one of you hand me your digivice and the other hand me your D-3."
"Its okay, guys. I gave him the big okay on it," Izzy said with a thumbs up.
"Well alright. Here you can examine him," Sora said as she handed him her digivice.
"And you can take a look at my D-3," replied Cody as he handed the man his D-3.
Shibumi takes the three devices and plugs them all together through cables connected into a computer.
"Aw, perfect. Now I can use the combination of the three devices and this could help with Grani's realization. I can use the power of the three devices to activate teleportation between the real and the digital worlds. This way we can transfer some of the data from these three devices combined with the remaining data within the digital world to give Grani its well-deserved boost that it really needs. It should be able to work."
"Sir! I'm getting a high power ready from outside of West Shinjuku! It's off the charts," Riley called out, "It looks like some sort of wild one, but of high altitudes."
"What! This isn't the time to worry about small fries. We have much more important things to be concerned with," said Yamaki.
But all of the digimon within the room quickly felt the powerful presence and they could easily tell whom that ki had belonged to.
"Don't sweat it guys! It's Kari and Gatomon! Celesta X! She's back," Guilmon said, "She's back from training and she's stronger than ever! Yay!"
"Whoa! It is Celesta X!" Armadillomon said, "It's off the charts but it's really her!"
"But how is that possible?" Rika asked.
"It just is! We better take a look at this through monitor," Talley replied as she found the exact pinpoint location.
"We're getting a visual," Riley said, "And we have transmission."
The digimon took a good hard look within the distance and smiles came across their faces as they recognized the warrior's face. It was indeed the fusion warrior of light, Mystic Celesta.
"See? I told you so!" Guilmon said, "She's much stronger than she was before."
"Well I'll be damned," muttered Izzy, "Prodigious! Celesta X should have enough power to give the D-Reaper a run for her money as we speak. I'm putting my bets on Kari and Gatomon."
"Agreed," Takato replied, "This is her fight now. What we need to do is worry about that sphere that's floating above the towers."
"Not to mention some drones to take out," Jeri said, "There's plenty of those out there."
"Right. Then we know our positions. We just need to get ready for the danger to come to us," Izzy replied.
There was a sudden roar in the skies and a huge ki was detected along the way. Buddamon and the two fusion warriors looked ahead to see that someone was heading their way.
D-Reaper managed to wake up from her sleep mode and senses the powerful ki from the distance as well.
"I wonder who it is?" pondered War Angemon, "It couldn't be Celesta X, could it?"
"I don't know. This ki is much too strong for me to recognize. However, there's something particular that I'm starting to sense from it. It's radical!" Imperialdramon said.
"Could it be? Is it really the warrior of courage himself?" Buddamon wondered, "That's got to be Omega X."
"No it isn't! It's Celesta X! She and Gatomon must have received that power-up already!" said War Angemon, "And it's about time too. We were beginning to wonder when they would show up!"
"Yeah! Looks like we might have a chance after all," said Imperialdramon.
As soon as blur rushed right passed the trio, they all turned with widened eyes and gaping mouths.
"Yes! It is she! Celesta X is back! Looks like the D-Reaper is going to have a lot of trouble trying to take Celesta X! I have no doubt that she's going to be the one that puts D-Reaper's lights out."
"Lets not be too sure of ourselves, Takeru. For all we know, the D-Reaper still hasn't reached into the full depth of her true power. On the other hand, this is going to be very interesting. Let's kick back and watch."
As soon as Mystic Celesta levitated in the skies above, D-Reaper was looking right up at the hovering female with a look of hatred across her face.
"Her ki has gotten much stronger! Man, I wonder what kind of power-up that Gosenzomon had given her," Buddamon pondered, "I just hope that all of those hours will pay off."
("Target Akai Shougeki" plays)
Mystic Celesta lowers her head right down over to D-Reaper and then cups her hands together. A large energy ball was starting to materialize within her palms and then with a tremendous force behind it, she shoots the energy ball towards D-Reaper. The energy blast was making its mark onto the enemy.
"HOLY BEAM!"
D-Reaper was able to see it coming as she managed to phase out of the way and watched as the blast penetrated the ground and caused a large explosion as a result. As soon as the beam of light faded, D-Reaper jumped back down on the ground and looked up to notice that Mystic Celesta was gone. An angry look came across her face and she heard an echoing roar from another direction.
As soon as she turned around, she saw another "Terra Beam" coming out of nowhere and it blasted it down. Mystic Celesta levitated down and watched as the smoke cloud was starting to dissipate.
"Alright! Direct hit! But I'm not sure if that really did her in," Imperialdramon said.
"We'll just have to wait and see," War Angemon replied.
The smoke cloud dissipated and D-Reaper was standing with her arms crossed but there were slight scratches and bruises inflicted all over her body. She growled under her breath and start screaming out with rage.
Mystic Celesta merely hovered as she quickly phases out again. This caught D-Reaper by surprise and she quickly looked to the other side to see Mystic Celesta giving her a death glare. The two warriors faced each other down and Mystic Celesta's presence made the D-Reaper slightly tremble.
"Her speed managed to increase! Wow, did you detect her movements!" asked War Angemon.
"Not at all! Wow, that power-up must have done her a lot of good! Hikari might even have a good chance! There's no doubt about it," Buddamon replied.
"D-Reaper! This was just only a fraction of our real power! Now we will show you what we are truly capable of. As you can see, this is our first mode of our mega form. But watch and learn!"
The D-Reaper gasped as she felt Mystic Celesta's ki skyrocket. She watched as the hovering warrior started to emit a bright, holy aura. The female now reached to her full extent to her Amazing Grace power. She looked up and faced down judgment day herself.
"I've reached my fullest extent to my Amazing Grace. Ready to die, D-Reaper?"
D-Reaper growled angrily and started flying over towards Mystic Celesta, but as soon as she went to deck the angel with a punch, the female quickly phased out and D-Reaper was shocked.
Mystic Celesta phases right behind D-Reaper and held her palm in place and charges it up. D-Reaper notices a beam of light shooting out from her palm and was sent straight out with tremendous force.
"Judgment Day Blast!"
D-Reaper managed to barely maneuver to the side and watched as the blast went right through several devastated buildings. The result ended with each building exploding at the same time.
As soon as the smoke cleared, the two fighters stood face to face, with D-Reaper facing her attention to Mystic Celesta. An evil grin shaped across the face of the D-Reaper.
"Ha. I can't believe that such a pitiful digimon such as yourself has come to fight me."
"You're wrong."
"What! Then why did you come here?"
"I came here to kill you."
("Target Akai Shougeki" fades)
Other side of the Digital Universe. Planet Shin
Agumon, X, Tai and Shintomon gathered around the crystal ball as they viewed the confrontation between Mystic Celesta and the D-Reaper. Smiles formed across their faces as their confidence were slowly starting to build up at the anticipation of the battle.
"My goddramon! This is going to be one hell of a fight!" Agumon said, "I'm placing my bets on Celesta X."
"Her power is astounding," X replied. "It's been a while since I've felt such a great power from a Kamiya."
"Same here, buddy. I can't wait for the D-Reaper to get herself what she deserves! Mystic Celesta will kick her ass! Shintomon, what do you think?"
"Taichi. I couldn't agree more. This one is going to Mystic Celesta by default. Besides, Hikari said herself that she wasn't even fighting at her full maximum. We'll just have to see how strong she really is."
Gosenzomon sat down with a saddened look on his face and turned his back on the crystal ball. He sighs and resumed his reading.
"I can't believe that a lowly warrior such as Celesta X was the one who pulled the sword out. She was the one who freed me. I feel so under-appreciated."
Earth. West Shinjuku
Justimon was patrolling the city once again after taking care of a group of ADR-04s along the way. He goes hiding behind a wall as he saw an army of more ADR-04 passing by.
"Ryo? I'm sick of all this hiding! I want to fight and I want a crack shot at those drones that just passed by us," Justimon exclaimed. "Not, we're not sure if they found us yet. But the coast seems to be clear enough."
But just as soon as he said that, a yellow sphere-like object comes shooting out of nowhere and then nails Justimon from behind. The bio-merged mega is then sent flying back onto the ground face-first.
"Ryo, don't jinx us next time."
Looking on afar from a water tower, two familiar Sailor Soldiers were looking on with concern. It was none other than Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus.
"Shouldn't we aid him?" Neptune asked.
"No. This battle is no concern to us."
"The city is being engulfed. This is a concern."
"Let's just stick to taking out the trash," Uranus replied. "You missed one."
Neptune turns as an ADR-04 came flying out of nowhere. The agent shot out numerous of blasts, which the two Sailors easily avoided. Neptune jumps up and grabs the cord, which allowed a sword to materialize around Uranus' hand. She comes down and cuts the cord with relative ease. The agent was extinguished into a glob of ooze.
"See? What did I tell you? At least we're contributing to this battle," Uranus replied.
"We'll leave the rest to these children."
With that said, the two Sailors walked off through a foggy cloud and vanished from sight. They may not be aiding the Tamers/Destined combo, but they were at least showing some contribution to the D-Reaper invasion.
The Tamers and the digimon were looking on through the computer at the show down that was taking place between D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta. Even more astonished looks came across the faces of the Monster Makers and the Wild Bunch.
"What is that thing?" Janyuu asked.
"Thing? Watch you call a thing. She's a dear friend to us. So don't worry," said Gomamon.
"She's so pretty," Jeri replied.
Kazu pulls out her D-Ark and then gets a reading on the warrior facing off against the D-Reaper. Unfortunately, he didn't get a reading on Mystic Celesta.
"That's Kari and Gatomon in their fusion form. I present to you, Celesta X," Sora said, "I doubt the D-Reaper will lay a finger on her. She beat Virus and now she'll defeat the D-Reaper."
Just then, Guilmon and the other digimon turned their attention over towards the other direction. They all seemed to have a dark presence nearby and it was coming from the outside.
"What's wrong, boy? What is it?" Takato asked.
"More drones. They're out in the city. These are a lot stronger than the ones we've faced. Takato, we have to go out there and stop them."
"Demon must have created more just to wear us down. We've never encountered anyone as crafty as he is. Well, only a few of us have to stay here. After all, my D-Ark is being used to program Grani," Henry said.
"Then I'll stay too," replied Sora, "Besides, my digivice is being scanned."
"I might as well then stay here," Cody replied.
"Alright! It's settled then. All remaining Tamers and Destined follow me out."
"Then I should go too!" Suzie calls out.
"No. You have to stay here," Henry replied, "I can't let you just go out there and get hurt."
"But, Henwy…"
"Do as your brother tells you," Mr. Wong replied, "We better let the rest of them handle this."
"Right. It's best we stay here for now, Suzie," Lopmon replied, "I can conserve my strength that way."
The little girl nodded as she sat back down holding onto Lopmon. At least, Suzie can keep Dimitri and Naomi company while Mimi and Yolei head out to battle. Kenta and Marine Angemon also decided to stay since they were not useful in the battle, at least since Marine Angemon was not a fighter. Leomon decided to stay in order to guard Jeri's family.
Takato led his team out through the elevator to enable them to reach down towards the bottom level. Takato's team included himself, Rika, Joe, Yolei, Ken, Mimi and Kazu. As soon as they reached to the ground level, they walked out and saw the D-Reaper mass starting to slowly grow and there's was something emerging from the mass.
"What the heck is that!" Kazu called out.
"I don't know! It must be another one of the D-Reaper's drones!" Takato cries out. "Demon sure isn't getting creative with his work."
"You're telling me. His quality work sucks," Terriermon critiqued.
"I'm glad you still have a sense of humor with this going on," Henry said. "Otherwise, I would have told you to keep you're mouth shut."
"You can't keep my mouth shut. I'm like the energizer bunny!"
As soon as the figure took shape, it stood as a tall, pink humanoid creature with small spheres that opened like mouths all over its body.
"That is one ugly motha…"
"Guardromon! Watch your mouth. You must have picked that up from The Predator. Oops, there I go with movies again. So, are you guys really certain we can take this thing?"
"We've got strength in numbers. I have no doubt that we have the advantage."
"I agree with goggle head, there are plenty of us that will be able to take this thing down. As long as some of us can bio-merge, we can get it done."
"We better stop this chattering and get down to business," Ken said, "Because that thing is coming right for us!"
"Right! Lets do this!" Takato cries out.
Suddenly, the creature, better known as ADR-07, shoot out one of its yellow spheres and it started to morph into a what looked like a camera. It began to analyze each of the digimon and the humans as it spoke in a rather borgish tone of voice.
"Analyze underway. Digimon identified: Guilmon, Renamon, Guardromon, Wormmon, Palmon, Hawkmon and Gomamon. By Demon's orders, subjects are now to be deleted right away."
With that said, the camera morphed back into a sphere and retracts back into its body as if it were a springing orb. Rika was now beginning to become visibly frustrated.
"Oh yeah? You want to terminate us! You're just going to have to kill us first! Digimon! Get into attack formation! We're going to show the D-Reaper the true meaning of team work!"
"Wow, I've never seen Rika like this before. I'm beginning to admire her courage, kind of reminds me of myself at times," Takato thought to himself.
The digimon quickly got into fighting psoes as each of the Tamers and Destined held onto their respective digivices, D-Arks and D-3s individually. One by one, their devices were starting to glow and their digimon were ready to digivolve.
Just then, something had come to Mimi's attention. She had almost forgotten about Pikkan.
"Maybe I should have told the others about that Pikkan guy. Well, there's no time for that. He could be handling Demon himself. I just hope he knows what he's doing. Ugh, this just isn't my day."
Demon looks on from afar the battlegrounds. His latest creation was set to begin battle with the digimon army.
"Everything is going according to plan…"
"Afraid not, asshole."
Demon was caught by surprise from the familiar voice. He turns and faces none other than Pikkan. The alterian pulls his fist back and shoots out an electrical blast, which Demon was able to divert.
"Damn it! Quit running, coward!"
"Pikkan, you underestimate me. I am not running like a coward as you say I am. I am merely delaying the inevitable."
"Those children will stomp you're new toys like cockroaches. With them taking care of business, I can focus one hundred percent of my energy on you!"
"Bold words coming from a warrior who is about to visit the after life."
"No. If I go, then you're coming with me."
"Let us begin for round two!"
With that said, Demon starts gathering energy from the D-Reaper mass itself. Pikkan felt a strong dark form of ki being absorbed into Demon's being. The demon lord's eyes flashed a mystical purple aura. He chuckles under his breathe and forms an energy ball in his right hand.
"Just bring me everything you have, horn boy."
Demon merely ignores the alterian's idle threats and creates his energy ball into an even bigger one.
D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta were still facing each other off as the wind started to blow around them. Mystic Celesta clenched her fists and D-Reaper noticed an aura of holy light surrounding the female's body.
"Huh?"
Mystic Celesta then powered down and held out her hands as if she were suppressing her ki. D-Reaper simply looks at this and started laughing to herself.
"You still expect to beat me! Don't be too sure of yourself, warrior. I've beaten up a fused warrior already and now they ran because they're nothing more than cowards!"
Looking a far from the battlefield, Buddamon was overhearing their conversation.
"Even if Mystic Celesta is at her powered-up state, she isn't strong enough to defeat even the D-Reaper at this moment."
"I say we give digital fusion another try," said Imperialdramon, "Just in case Kari is in trouble."
Even thought half an hour had almost passed, the two fusion warriors flew down to the nearest spot and were now performing the fusion technique in attempt to become War Dramon once again. Buddamon had his eyes locked onto the battleground and was more concerned at how much stronger Mystic Celesta has really become.
ADR-07 made its way over towards the digimon with its arms outstretched and ready to make its attack upon the crowded digimon.
"Digivolve now!" the whole Destined group exclaimed.
Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays
One by one, each of the Destined's digivices and D-3s started to glow and release beams of light. One by one, each of the digimon started to digivolve.
"Palmon shinka! Togemon! Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
Mimi's chest started glowing and it emitted a neon green aura. This allowed Lillymon to reach her mega form.
"Lillymon warp shinka! Rosemon!"
Rosemon flew out and started whipping the titan with her rose whip, but weren't enough to even put a dent on ADR-07.
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon! Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
Zudomon went charing forwards with his hammer rose over his head and then bashed ADR-07 right in the forehead with his Zulcan's Hammer, but even that didn't do any damage. ADR-07 extracts its spheres and knocks both ultimates away.
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
"Since, Hawkmon and myself don't really have to fuse with one another anymore. I think Aquillamon should have enough power to evolve straight to his ultimate level form! It's worth a shot. Here we go!"Yolei said to herself in thought.
Aquillamon goes soaring from above and shoots out his Blast Rings over the towering drone, but there was not even any kind of damage inflicted on it.
"Aquillamon! Time to go ultimate!"
With that said, the purple-haired girl's D-3 started to shoot out a beam of energy and an aura started to form around Aquillamon. The two were merged together into a single being.
"Aquillamon Fusion shinka! Silphymon!"
Silphymon soars up into the air and cups his hands together to form a ball of energy. Then he pushes his cupped hands back and releases a powerful beam of energy over at ADR-07.
"Static Force!"
The blast managed to rock ADR-07 back and this allowed Guardromon to go for his Guardian Barrage. ADR-07, unprepared for the attacks, was knocked down onto the ground.
"Wormmon! You ready, pal?"
"Lets do it!"
Ken's D-3 shot out a beam of light and it started to engulf Wormmon as he quickly digivolved into his champion-level form.
"Stingmon!"
"Brave Heart" fades
The insectoid digimon goes soaring into the skies above and then comes diving down with a purple blade extracting from his hands. He comes down and delivers his deadly Spiking Strikes. ADR-07 was caught by surprise and taken down to the ground while trying to make a rebound against its surrounding adversaries.
"Bio-merge time, Guilmon! Lets go!"
"Right!"
Bio-Merge Evolution
"One Vision" plays
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Takato holds up his D-Ark and presses it against his chest as he exploded with a stream of red data surrounding him. He felt his arms flow freely as he started to float down upon Guilmon as they merged together.
"Guilmon Bio-merge!"
Guilmon's body started to break down as his reptilian skin was quickly giving way to a much more armored body that was silver. His limbs quickly transformed into that of human limbs. His tail gave way and he was now a bipedal figure. His face quickly evolved into every single of his evolutions. First from Guilmon and then into Growlmon. Then into War Growlmon and then into Guilmon. A view of Takato's face was shown and then a knight's facemask was shown. There was a pair of pure gold eyes underneath the dark silts of the mask. On top of the helmet was the face of Guilmon embedded on the top of his forehead. He goes flying out as a joust came appearing in his hand and a shield formed on the other. The shield has the same 'hazard' sign that was embedded on Guilmon's chest. Finally, a long, red flowing cape appeared as the new digimon soared out into a pose.
"Gallantmon!"
"You think you're going to hog the glory, goggle head? Think again! Renamon…"
"I'm ready to rumble…"
Bio-Merge Evolution
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Rika holds up her D-Ark and quickly presses it against her chest as a stream of blue data quickly shrouded her body. Her hair flew straight up as if a gust of wind was blowing at her and she start to fly freely. Rika seemed to be floating above Renamon as they were beginning to merge.
"Renamon bio-merge!"
Renamon's body started to transform as a puddle of water was down at her feet. Water came at her side and her paws morphed into that of the limb of that a human. The puddle had a reflection of a cherry-blossom and a full moon at the background. Her feet and legs transformed into of a woman. Her shadow appears in the middle of the puddle and a streak of yellow light came swirling around her with flowers. Then her figure was starting to form. An armored chest covering was formed along with a belt buckle with a fox's face imbedded on it. A pair of high-heel boots also came into formation. Her face quickly evolved through every single of her evolutions. First from Renamon then into Kyuubimon. Then into Taomon and once again into Renamon. A view of Rika's face was shown and then a woman with a fox-face mask was shown. The new figure goes flipping up with a golden staff in one hand. As soon as she came landing down, she stood in the center of a neon-blue light and stood out in a pose.
"Sakuyamon!"
"One Vision" fades
Gallantmon goes flying ahead towards the fallen ADR-07 and started charging up his lance. He releases a powerful blast and nails it right to one of the yellow spheres covering the drone's body.
"Lightning Joust!"
As soon as the attack nailed the sphere, it quickly exploded into a dried blob mass.
"Bulls eye baby!" Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice.
However, his short-lived celebration was soon cut short as the titan of destruction regenerated its lost limb.
"Crap! It's able to regenerate itself!" exclaimed Gallantmon.
Just then, ADR-07 extracted out its arms and snatched away Gallantmon and started to constrict the helpless bio-merged mega. Sakuyamon went over to try to save her partner.
"Let him go, you bastard!" Sakuyamon cried out.
But just as Sakuyamon had flown in to try to save Gallantmon, another sphere came shooting out and knocked Sakuyamon back.
"Sakuyamon!"
Pikkan looks down towards the battlefield, but shifts his focus back on Demon.
"You should have kept you're attention on me, Pikkan! Big mistake!"
With that said, Demon phases out and materializes in front of Pikkan. Demon greets the alterian with a face-on blast from the energy ball. Pikkan cries out as he was sent plummeting down towards a water tower.
Just then, Gallantmon takes notice of this and saw Demon levitating above them. As soon as he was about to attack, ADR-07 extracted another mouth and kept the mega distracted. This allowed Demon to take advantage of the situation and continue his relentless assault on Demon.
The Monster Makers were looking on through a monitor as they monitored the progress of the two battles occurring.
"But why would the D-Reaper attack? What is its real purpose?" Janyuu wondered.
"Because its scared," replied Shibumi, "It is terrified between the bond between children and parents."
"Very much like us, humans," Yamaki responded, "It was afraid of what it did not understand."
"Everyone. Listen up! Grani's realization is calculated at seventy percent from completion," Izzy said.
"Lets hope this Grani works, Izzy,"Sora said to herself.
"Justice Kick!" Justimon calls out as he comes out of nowhere and vaporizes ADR-07's hand. Gallantmon was released as a result and here grouped with the others.
"Thanks, Justimon!"
"Save the thanks for later. We've got a drone to exterminate."
But just as they were relieved, more mouths came shooting out and they snared all three bio-merged megas. The ADR held them up and started to crush them under the mouth's tight grips.
"Stingmon! Save them!"
"I got this one under control!"
Stingmon goes flying up and then extracts a purple blade on one hand and went flying right through the cables and used his Spiking Strike to cut them down. As a result, the three megas were released. Stingmon flies out of the way as the Destined's digimon prepare for a head-on barrage attack.
"Thorn Whip!" Rosemon cries out.
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Static Force!"
"Destruction Grenade!"
All four digimon attacks nailed the ADR and only momentarily distracted it as Stingmon and Justimon both came up from behind the towering monster.
"Spiking Strike!"
"Voltage Blade!"
The combination of the two attacks managed to cut off the ADR's cables and the once powerful ADR-07 exploded into a chaos mess.
"Nice shot, Ryo!" Ken shouted.
"Alright! That's another one that bites the dust, baby!" Kazu exclaimed.
"It's not over yet," Sakuyamon said.
"What! You mean it's not over? But we should have had this battle won!" Silphymon stated.
"Oh yeah? You think it's over? Take a good look behind you," said Gallantmon.
They all turned around and saw another creature pop out from out of the Chaos zone itself. The monster was almost the size of a large building, it was purple and it clearly had a small head with no visible eyes. Around the center of its body was a large number of ADR-04's staring down upon the digimon group.
"AW SHIT!" the group exclaimed in unison.
"Um, guys. Looks like we're in deep trouble," said Mimi.
"Ryo! Looks like we'll need the heavy artillery for this," Stingmon said to Justimon. "Demon is really desperate if he sent out another right-hand man."
"We're not through yet. I don't care who Demon sends out next! We'll keep fighting until every one of these drones are take out once and for all!" exclaimed Gallantmon, "Who's with me!"
The digimon all called out as they started charging out towards the monstrous ADR with no signs of fear, but sheer determination and a will to win.
Elsewhere, Pikkan drags himself from the fallen debris that had fallen on him. His body was bruised and battered from the full force attack Demon had inflicted upon him.
"No… I won't give up… This can't drag on forever… Demon will die by my hand… I will see to that!"
"Die by you're hand. I'm afraid the chances of that happening are one in a million," Demon replied from above. "But if you want to gamble you're chances, then I'm willing to oblige."
"You murdered the people I ever cared for Demon… I was much too weak to ever stand a chance against you… Now it's different… My chances are very high… I will use those people's pain as my strength… Demon, you're corruptive deeds will end here…and NOW!"
Suddenly, Demon felt a ki rising from Pikkan. The demon lord has never felt such a power increase over a short period of time. Just a while ago, Pikkan's power level paled in comparison to Demon's but now the levels had changed.
"I will use their pain as my weapon. They're calling out to me. Every soul that has died by you're hand are reaching out to me… Demon, now it's you're turn to face the harsh truth about death."
Demon took several steps back from Pikkan's sudden resurgence of power. Pikkan cries out and charges out towards Demon with unbelievable speed.
"Join your brother in the after life, asshole!"
Pikkan pulls his fists back and pushes them into Demon. The demon lord lets out a loud gasp as he felt his entire body being electrocuted from Pikkan's most powerful technique.
"Thunder Flash Attack! Times Five!"
Demon screams out as he was sent flying through the skies. His body was being electrocuted like never before. Pikkan cries out and flies up to meet Demon. The alterian pushes out an invisible force, which rocks Demon back. Pikkan phases behind Demon and clubs him in the back. The force sent Demon crashing down below.
After that assault, Pikkan gathers energy in his hands and forms an enormous ball of energy.
"Have a taste of your own fucking medicine, Demon Eat this!"
With a loud war cry, Pikkan tosses the energy ball down and watches it connect with Demon's fallen corpse. A massive explosion occurs where the demon lord laid. This managed to catch the Tamer/Digi-Destined combo from their current assignment. They were set to battle the newly arrival of ADR-08.
"What was that!" Gallantmon pondered.
"It felt like an enormous energy blast, but I can't tell who created such an enormous attack," stated Sakuyamon.
"It's Pikkan! I just know it is," Rosemon replied.
"Pikkan?" Justimon asked.
"Yes, I'll explain everything later. We've got a task to complete," Silphymon replied.
"Yeah, we've got an ass-kicking to deliver. So let's make it count!" Kazu cries out.
"Yes! An ass-kicking, dude!" Guardromon responded.
"Those two will never stop joking around, won't they?" Ken thought.
D-Reaper was clearly becoming infuriated at Mystic Celesta's sudden calm and confident smirk on her face. She clenched her fists and watched as the angelic female began gathering her ki. Soon, the energy created swirls of dust around them.
Final Fantasy VII theme "Battle Theme" plays
"Now it's time for us to show you the true depth of our power. Allow us to demonstrate."
Mystic Celesta flew up as a spiral of white light started to engulf her body and a sword materialized in her hand. It is very exact sword that Gosenzomon had given her. Mystic Celesta held it tightly up in the air and a bright column of white energy started to engulf her being.
D-Reaper looked on with astonishment as the columns started to spring around and she gasped in horror as she felt the ki that was coming from Mystic Celesta. Buddamon and the two fusion warriors looked on with shock as the white columns of light faded away as the new form of Mystic Celesta appeared in their place.
Mystic Celesta's armor was now a mixture of gold, white and pink, as it represented all that was good and the power given to her by the digital universe. She looks down upon D-Reaper, who could only look on with sheer fear across her fear.
"I am Mystic Celesta. I am the protector of life. You seek destruction on innocence. I will put a stop to you're dark chaos. Light shall extinguish the darkness! Heavens! Hear my voice!"
"Yeah! Now what's what I'm talking about! Her power is off the charts!" War Angemon called out, "Kari has this in complete control! She's ten times stronger than she was seven years ago!"
"You can do it, Kari! I take back everything I said about TH!" Imperialdramon stated.
"Yet, you still can't get my name right."
"No doubt about it. Se will slay the beast," Buddamon replied, "Just you wait and see. The awesome power of the Omega Blade is legendary. She managed to pull out the sword to release Gosenzomon, a once powerful Supreme guardian during his time. Hikari is the one who will bring the D-Reaper down to her knees.
"Go for it, Kari! Strike her down and send her to the depths of hell!" War Angemon calls out.
"I never thought I say this but Kari might save us all the trouble. Well, I would just hate to have to listen to TY's gloating afterwards. Oh well, its not like he was gloating when Kari defeated Virus. Go for it, Hikari."
D-Reaper looks on with horror as Mystic Celesta quickly vanished. She was faster than perhaps the speed of light. That had to be incredibly fast! D-Reaper gasped and turned around to be met with a devastating punch to the gut by Mystic Celesta. D-Reaper gasps as she coughs out while holding her embedded chest.
"Now you're downfall shall begin, D-Reaper. Taste the power of the Omega Blade!"
Mystic Celesta started hammering away at D-Reaper with a rapid barrage of punches and kicks that even managed to overwhelm the beast. The angelic female delivers a kick to D-Reaper's face and then goes flipping into the air. D-Reaper looks up and watches Mystic Celesta summons the sword and goes bringing down upon D-Reaper.
"Omega Blade!"
D-Reaper cried out in fear just as Mystic Celesta was about to bring down the heavy sword. Then everything goes frozen afterwards with D-Reaper shocked like never before.

Mystic Celesta was coming right down at D-Reaper with her blade intact and was about to slice the D-Reaper in half. D-Reaper could only watch as she was sliced in half like a tomato. The two halves started to jump around frantically. Mystic Celesta prepared to make her next attack.
As soon as D-Reaper pieced herself back together, Mystic Celesta goes charging forward with newfound speed and delivers an elbow shot to D-Reaper. This stunned the D-Reaper for a moment and then sends her staggering backwards. D-Reaper is able to recover quickly and starts getting angry at the new found speed and power her adversary has gained.
D-Reaper had just realized that this was the first time that an adversary has been to inflict pain upon her for the first time. Buddamon and the two fusion warriors watched on with awe as they were amazed to how much faster and powerful Mystic Celesta has gotten in two days.
"Wow! This is incredible! She's even stronger and faster than D-Reaper now!" War Angemon replied.
"I couldn't detect their movements. D-Reaper is sure not having a good day! Kick that bitch's ass, Kari!" Imperialdramon cries out. "What do you think Buddamon?"
"I think that Hikari just may have a chance at beating the D-Reaper! It's a synch, but I have a good feeling that the D-Reaper has finally met her match."
"Alright, Kari! Stay on her and don't let allow her time to recover! You're going to save the planet again!" War Angemon shouted out in encouragement.

D-Reaper sets herself up and then goes to punch her adversary, who was standing just behind her with his back turned to her. As soon as D-Reaper turned to punch him, Mystic Celesta detected her movements and delivered a clubbed fist to the monster's face. Mystic Celesta started to attack as she sends a boot to D-Reaper's face and then punches her right in the stomach. D-Reaper goes retreating in pain, but then Mystic Celesta steps right in front of the fallen monster.
"Aww. What's the matter, Reaper? Have you got a little bruise? Here let me make it all better," Mystic Celesta taunted the beast. "For a woman, you have terrible fashion taste. Oh goddramon, now I'm starting to sound like Mimi. How unfortunate."
D-Reaper attacks in response to his taunts. She starts attacking Mystic Celesta with a fury of attacks. She goes throwing out hard, rapid punches and kicks. However, Mystic Celesta was able to block each and every one of those contact attacks.
"I wasn't finished yet!" the angelic female growls.
Mystic Celesta phases behind her and charges forth, catching the monster completely off guard and striking her down to the ground. D-Reaper managed to stop herself by skidding and lies with a stunned look.
Buddamon was looking over at the whole fight and his mouth was gaping widen in surprise at what he was looking at. Now it was the D-Reaper finally being dominated by being superior to her in every aspect. Would this truly be the end to the D-Reaper's reign?
D-Reaper was now lying on the ground motionless, but Mystic Celesta knew better than to fall for this playing possum maneuver.
"You can pull off that little crap, but it still won't make a difference. You're still going to die by my hand."
D-Reaper goes leaping up onto her feet and forms a confident grin on her face. She tries to suppress her anger by trying to act confident. This way she won't be able to unleash the true maximum power of hers. Mystic Celesta walks slowly towards her adversary. D-Reaper is unable to make a single movement as Mystic Celesta delivers a devastating boot to D-Reaper's abs.
The angelic warrior continues her relentless attack as she grabs D-Reaper by her long hair and started swinging her around. D-Reaper screams out after every swing. Mystic Celesta flings D-Reaper through a nearby rock hill. After that, Mystic Celesta flies towards her fallen adversary.
D-Reaper quickly recovers and pushes her way through out of the fallen rubble. D-Reaper wrenches back and tosses a blast of energy over towards the female. However, Mystic Celesta was able to see it coming and deflects it with her hands. D-Reaper growled with sheer anger and managed to roll herself up into a ball. With a loud scream, she throws herself at Mystic Celesta.
"Holy Beam!"
The force of the beam from theHoly Beam sends the ball flying back. Mystic Celesta goes appearing out of nowhere and caught the ball. She braces himself against the D-Reaper's forward motion. With newfound strength within every fiber in her being, Mystic Celesta pushes it backwards and watched as it goes skidding across the ground and into a rock wall.
The two continued to fight between nearby abandoned buildings that were left in ruins. Since there was no living soul within the buildings, they were free to unleash their most powerful blasts at one another without restraint.
Mystic Celesta flings D-Reaper into the air, and then goes pursuing the evil monster. Mystic Celesta goes appearing in the skies and then delivered a clubbed forearm smash into the D-Reaper's stomach. The D-Reaper had never received such punishment as she was receiving just now. D-Reaper goes landing into the ground with a loud crash.
Mystic Celesta soars down back onto the ground and faces down the newly made crater and felt D-Reaper's presence from within.
"There's no way she could have been killed from that fall. It's too obvious. But I still better be careful and keep my guard," Mystic Celesta reminded himself in thought.
As soon as the smoke cloud dissipated, D-Reaper slowly sits up from her fall and rises from out of the crater. She looks around for her enemy. She crawls out and sighs to herself. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice cry out from behind her.
"Hey! Forgetting about me, already!"
D-Reaper gasped in shock and then turned to see Mystic Celesta looking down upon her with a threatening glare on her face. D-Reaper started backing away as she glowered in frustration and rage. Now it seemed that the deadly, corrupted deletion program has met her match against the ever so powerful angelic female.
"Go for it, Kari!" War Angemon cries out.
"Why isn't he going to finish off the D-Reaper? Does he seem to have a plan in mind?" Imperialdramon pondered.
"I don't know but we have to trust in Hikari's abilities," replied Buddamon, "She must have a plan set in motion."
Back over on the other side of the city, the Tamers and the Destined were preparing for themselves as the worst was yet to come in another form of an ADR. This was ADR-08 and it seemed like that it wasn't going to be fighting alone. There was an army of ADR-04 coming out of hiding.
"Look out! We've got company!" exclaimed Gallantmon.
"They're going to fire!" Sakuyamon cries out.
As soon as each of the digimon braced themselves, the ADRs were soon starting to fire away a barrage of blasts over at the digimon group. They managed to cover themselves in blocking positions. Guardromon had seen enough and decided to take some action. He went flying up attack the ADRs head on.
"Guardromon! Wait! You're no match for all of those drones at once!" Kazu exclaimed.
"Guardian Barrage!"
Guardromon watched as his missiles did very little to knock away any of the ADRs and soon was blasted right down towards the ground below. Kazu goes running over to his fallen digimon with a worried look on his face.
"Guardromon! Are you going to be okay man! Speak to me!"
"Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?"
"Dude, you forgot my name!"
Guardromon responded by grunting with his eyes rolling back and forth. The cyborg digimon looked just about out of it after being blasted by multiple shots from the drones. Kazu remained close to his digimon partner as the others continued their attacks upon the ADRs.
"Justimon! Looks like it's up to us!" Gallantmon said, "Let's go!"
"Right."
While Sakuyamon stood her guard, the two other bio-merged megas went flying up to do battle against the ADR-04 army.
"Justice Kick!"
"Lightning Joust!"
One by one, each ADR was blasted away by the attacks. But as soon as one group was deleted, another came to replace them as if they were regenerating in a sort of way.
"Its no use! They're still coming right at us!" Justimon cried out.
"Allow us to help," said Stingmon.
"Besides, you won't be able to hold them off by yourselves," replied Rosemon.
"Lets give them the ol' digimon team effort," said Silphymon.
"Alright! Lets give it everything we got," replied Gallantmon, under Takato's voice. "On my word. Set…"
The ADR army came rushing at the digimon group at full speed and were about to unleash more burst shots. Gallantmon pointed out his lance forwards as if giving the digimon a signal to attack with everything they got.
Justimon started it off by leaping into the air and kicking away at the surrounding digimon that were coming his way. He spin kicks them one by one.
"Justice Kick!"
Justimon watched as each ADR were taken apart as a result of his mighty kick and his tenacity. Justimon looked onward and then lowered his guard before Stingmon came in for the kill on the next set of ADRs. He wrenches back both of his fists as purple blades extracted out.
"Spiking Strike!"
He goes stabbing through many ADRs that stood in his way and watched as each of them started to explode. Rosemon came next as she cupped her hands together and a green ball of energy formed. She thrusts her hands forwards and was shooting down several drones that were about to blast her. She then phased towards the damaged ADRs and sliced their cords through with a rose whip.
"Thorn Whip!"
Her beams managed to evade and delete many more ADRs along the way and Rosemon bought herself some more time to allow Silphymon to charge up his attack.
"Static Force!"
The ultimate-level digimon thrusts his hands forward and shoot out a ball of energy that plunged through many more drones and watched as they started to dissolve into particles.
Zudomon came next as he raised his hammer over a group of ADRs. He bashed each of them across the head and then slashes through their cables with his claws. Zudomon then turns and throws out his hammer as if it were a boomerang. One by one, each of the ADRs were knocked down as if they were bowling pins. Zudomon snatched back his spinning hammer and stood triumphant as the fallen ADRs were dissolving.
"Alright! That's the way, Zudomon!"
"We have to keep them busy at the moment. There's no telling when they're going to regain more momentum," Ken replied.
"So far we should be fine. Those ADRs have been nothing but cannon fodder," Silphymon stated, "But you're right. We must be extra careful."
"I wonder what's keeping Izzy. Wasn't that Grani supposed to be done right about now?" pondered Mimi.
"I was beginning to think the exact same thing," Takato said in Gallantmon's thoughts.
The Monster Makers were watching on as the nearly complete Grani was starting to move within the digital world. Izzy smirked as he stood up wiping his forehead.
"Prodigious! It's body is complete and it is functioning well," the red-haired young man said.
"So, why don't we just launch it already?" Tentomon asked.
"Hold on. We don't know for sure if its one hundred percent realized just yet."
Shibumi looked at his computer monitor and was getting a reading on its progress. It had now finally reached to one hundred percent of its realization. This is what they exactly wanted.
"Izzy! It's complete! Shall we activate it?" Shibumi asked.
"Yeah! There's no time to waste. Time to bring him into the real world. I'm safe to realize that you know what to do next, Shibumi?"
"Yes. I've got this under control."
With that said, Shibumi pulls out a blue card and does the hand movements much like those performed by the Tamers and was holding Henry's D-Ark at the same time.
"Card Slash!"
The group eyed the computer monitor and had hoped that Grani would phase out from the digital world. And to her greatest delight, their realization came true and Grani was out of the digital world.
"Sir! We're getting a reading on Grani's bio-emergence! There's currently a realization within Shinjuku."
"Good, Riley. Now all we have to do is hope and pray that it can be active in the real world," Yamaki said while flickering his lighter in anticipation.
Izzy had his fingers crossed and prayed for his project to come into realization. He worked extra hard to getting its design and its efficiency in perfect order.
"I worked so hard to get this far. Grani, don't fail on me now."
Meanwhile, Pikkan was catching his breathe after unleashing a massive assault on Demon. It looked as though he had done the demon lord in. That is until he heard a low chuckle. Pikkan's eyes widened in total shock.
Demon removed his cloak to reveal his true form. Pikkan felt the monster's power rise like never before. He had hoped it would have decreased, but it was the complete opposite.
Demon came walking out of the smoke clouds to reveal his true identity. His body was covered by dark fur, which emitted a dark purple, misty aura. His hands were tipped with razor, sharp talons. The pair of horns grew to exceedingly above his head. This made him closely resemble more to perhaps the Dark Prince himself. A third eye formed on his forehead and it emitted a blue light. The eyes glared over to Pikkan with great intensity. His mouth was much larger than the alterian expected. It was lined up with long fangs followed up two large mouths at the front of his mouth.
"So, you managed to uncloak yourself? It's about time. You should have kept you're cloak on, you ugly bastard."
"Are you repulsed by my appearance? That's okay. You won't live long enough to have to gaze upon it."
"What am I going to do? He's power has increased without the cloak. That cloak must have been weighted if he concealed half of his true power. I'm basically screwed like a one-legged pony. But I won't die… I promised to put Demon's head on a platter and I don't intend to back down from my word…"
"So, are you ready to die, Pikkan? I'm willing to end this nice and slow…" the demon lord hissed.
"By all means, go for it…"
"The Biggest Dreamer" plays
Back on the battlefield, there was a fog started to form just above the head of the towering titan ADR-08. It looked like something was about to bio-emerge. Gallantmon turns his attention from the battle and looked up towards the floating fog cloud.
"Takato! Do you see it?" asked Gallantmon. "Yeah. It looks like something is bio-emerging. But that doesn't look like any digimon."
"Who am I?"
Ken also took notice of it and could easily recognize it through the blueprints that Izzy had provided on it. He goes calling out to Gallantmon.
"Hey! Takato! That thing that's bio-emerging is Grani! That's the machine that Izzy has been working hard to perfect. We believe that any one digimon could use it. But lets see if you can get it to work."
"You want us to try it out!" Gallantmon calls out. "Well, it never hurts to try anything. Here goes nothing!"
With that said, the knight digimon goes slashing through another group of ADR-04s. He quickly then looks over and notices Grani reaching his complete realization.
"We have to reach as far as we can! We're almost there, Guilmon!"
But just as they were regaining momentum to reach over to the machine, ADR-08 started to face up and shoots out a blast from his mouth. Gallantmon was caught by surprise as he went falling back.
"Gallantmon! You guys! We better distract these drones' attention and by Gallantmon some time to reach over to Grani," Sakuyamon said. "Hang on, Takato! We're going to do our best to keep them away at the moment and allow you perfect time to reach over to Grani. Does that sound good?"
"That's a perfect plan, Rika!" Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Thanks a bunch."
"Not a problem. Okay guys! Lets them have it!"
The digimon group started to attack the ADR army with their trademark attacks. This allowed Gallantmon time to recover. He looks up and notices that Grani was too far up to reach.
"Its too far up to reach! There's no way we're going to ever make it! It'd take a miracle for us to make it over to that… Wait a minute. That's it! If the fusion warriors are able to travel far distances then we should also be able to as well! Here goes nothing."
ADR-08 was turning around and shot out a beam so fast that not even the naked eye would keep up with it. However, Gallantmon was able to dissipate into matter and quickly phases out. ADR-08 was quickly overwhelmed as Gallantmon reappeared on top of Grani.
"We made it! Now it's time to summon Grani's power!" Gallantmon exclaimed as he raised his lance.
The other digimon looked on as Gallantmon's ki was rising to new heights. They didn't know how but it was a good guess that Grani provided the power-up for Gallantmon.
"Our energy has been restored! With Grani as our battle steed, we shall bring down this D-Reaper drone."
"Takato and Guilmon are able to control Grani! Unbelivable! I never knew goggle head had that in him," Sakuyamon said, under Rika's voice.
Gallantmon watched as Grani's gray armor started to light up and it transformed into a crimson color. Gallantmon points out over towards the ADRs and Grani positions itself right over to where Gallantmon to was pointing.
"Wow! Now Gallantmon is controlling Grani and pointing out to where it should attack. Its has if they were now apart of one mind," Ken said, "Izzy, my friend, you really outdone yourself this time."
Izzy and Shibumi both jumped up in celebration, as the Grani project was a success. The Monster Makers were just as ecstatic over the whole situation. Yamaki merely smiled in satisfaction.
"Prodigious! It's a success! With Gallantmon in control of Grani, we're now back in the game! And it seems Gallantmon is in complete control of Grani. There were no miscalculations after all."
"That's really something, Izzy," Tentomon said, "You really outdone yourself this time. Those drones are toast as far as I'm concerned!"
"Well I'll be darned. Who would have ever imagined Takato and Guilmon handling Grani," said Henry.
"You see! I told you never to doubt them, even if they both can be naive at times."
"True, but I'll give them credit! They're able to control Grani."
"Alright, all Gallantmon has to do is concentrate on taking out those drones," Sora said, "Then we should have one problem solved. Because it looks like Celesta X has the fight against the other D-Reaper entity in the palm of her hands."
"Right. It looks as though everything is going according to plan. But we're not out of the drivers' seats yet, guys. We've just got a first down and we're going in for the touchdown," Izzy said. "They could perhaps take Demon out of the game if Gallantmon has the chance!"
"Wow! This is so cool," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Now let's take out the trash, Takato!"
"Right and if we find Demon, blast him into smithereens!"
Gallantmon goes pointing out over towards the swarm of ADR-04s and Grani goes over charging towards them. The ADRs prepared to attack but then Gallantmon quickly phases out. The drones were caught by surprise and felt a ki reappearing from behind them. But just as they turned around, they were met with a devastating 'Lightning Joust', which easily dissolved them into data.
"Now time to cut the cords on the big guy," Gallantmon said.
As soon as they turned their attention over towards the even larger, ADR-08, the monster was about to make its attack. But then it was pulled back for some apparent reason. And the reason why was because of the other digimon pulling back on its cords.
"Alright, Gallantmon! We have him down! Time to cut him down!" Sakuyamon cries out.
"Right! And we're about to give this drone the final point!"
Gallantmon powers up his lance and Grani starts to increase its speed. ADR-08 was unable to detect of what of fate lays ahead for it. Gallantmon goes driving right through the middle section of the ADR and easily cuts through its cables like a hot knife on butter.
Gallantmon quickly reappears out of the ADR and looks on from a far off distance. The damage was done to the ADR as all of its cables were cut off. The titan was then quickly dissolved afterwards, which brought cheers among the digimon.
("The Biggest Dreamer" ends)
"Alright! Mark another victory for the good guys!" Gallantmon cries out.
"Way to go, Gallantmon! You and Grani really rocked out there!" Justimon replied.
"All in a days work."
"Those were some sweet moves there, chumley. You mind teaching how to do that?"
Just then, Gallantmon felt a disturbing ki from close by. He knew Demon was around and orders Grani to fly through to investigate.
"Takato! Where are you going!" Sakuyamon asked.
"We'll be right back! It seems Demon is around! We're going to go investigate. You guys head out back without me!"
"Be careful!"
As soon as Gallantmon flew across the city with Grani leading the way, he saw a demonic figure preparing to make his next attack on Pikkan.
"So, that's Pikkan! Hang in there! We're coming!"
"Stay back!" Pikkan cries out.
"What's this? Another friend of yours, Pikkan?" Demon pondered. "Whoever he is, I'll get rid of him myself."
"No! This is between you and I, Demon! You leave him out of this!"
"Pikkan! We can't let you do this to yourself! You'll need help!"
"Go away! I vowed to take Demon's life! Do not interfere! Now leave me!"
"Very well," Gallantmon replied. "But if you ever need our help, we're always here. After all, you helped save Jeri's life. You have our gratitude."
"You know Jeri?"
"She's a friend of ours. Thank you for saving her life, Pikkan. Now send this creep to the cleaners!"
"You got it."
With that said, Gallantmon flies off into the distance and left the two to settle their long-awaited rivalry. Pikkan gets into a battle stance as he prepared to face off against the newly powered Demon.
"Are you willing to throw your own life away to protect others? I thought I knew you better than that Pikkan."
"You don't know me very well, Demon. I'm only out to take you're life. Though, I will say that this one's for Jeri."
"Very well then. You have such false believes and you actually buy them. Only one of us will live through this day. Not only will I kill you, but I shall take over this wretched planet."
"Not unless the D-Reaper turns on you. The fool has no idea what he is messing with. The D-Reaper is only out for itself."
The two warriors stood their ground to prepare for another battle to the death. Only one of them would live through this ordeal.
Looking from above a small water tower, the two Sailors appeared to watch the battle ensue.
"He may need our help after all," Neptune replied. "This monster must be behind the whole mess."
"Agreed. This warrior is weakening and may not survive through this," Uranus replied. "Now is the perfect time to attack."
Soaring through the skies above, Grani guided Gallantmon through the thick clouds. The mega looked down to find his comrades making their way back to a rest stop.
"You guys! We're back!"
"It's about time," Sakuyamon replied.
Sakuyamon goes flying by Gallantmon and looks right over towards him with a smile on her face.
"Those were some bold maneuvers, Gallantmon. But how were you able to easily control Grani for your first time?"
"We're not really sure. But I guess since we were so driven to defeat the drones that he craved to use Grani and once he hopped aboard, we felt Grani's power entering us. It was a cool feeling and we were both driven to defeat the D-Reaper."
"Interesting. You must feel at least two times more powerful with Grani."
"You could say that."
"I must say you were really something out there."
"Thanks, Sakuyamon."
"Anytime."
"So, why did you come back?"
"That Pikkan guy Jeri told me about wanted to handle the battle to himself. So I respected his wishes. He'll handle Demon for us. We've got the D-Reaper to worry about."
"Agreed. We know what we must do."
With that said, the two megas go flying off into the distance with the other digimon following close behind them.
Back over at the other side of the city, D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta were staring each other down while D-Reaper has developing a burning rage within her. Her face soon was becoming twisted with both rage and anger. It looked as if her eyes were about to bulge out. Veins were now starting to appear on her forehead.
"Shit, it looks like I pissed her off," Mystic Celesta thought.
Mystic Celesta stood her ground and watched as bolts of red electricity start to voltage all around D-Reaper's body. Then a low, humming noise was heard each time her red aura was glowing, also giving off a pulsating sound. Then mega then listens as D-Reaper began to ramble on angrily.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE! SHES STRONGER! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE STRONGER! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME! WHY CAN'T I EVEN TOUCH HIM! CURSE YOU, MYSTIC CELESTA! I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"
With that said, D-Reaper screamed out demonically and pushes out a column of red energy from her surroundings and the buildings standing around her were starting to crumble. Streets were being caved into the ground and the skies were becoming darker with bolts of electricity showering down over D-Reaper. Her eyes were now starting to become a bloody red instead of its cool, misty purple aura.
Back over at the old Hypnos headquarters, the Monster Makers and the Wild Bunch were covering their ears while overhearing the D-Reaper's screams. The Digi-Destined and Tamers had arrived as well but then were covering their ears.
"Whoa! This thing has issues! Here I thought children were worse!" Tentomon remarked.
"You're right and with all of that energy compressed within the D-Reaper, it could very well destroy this whole planet if it wanted to," Izzy said.
"Everyone, revert from your stations! We can't be too sure how safe it will be to remain at your computers. A sudden crash failure could occur with all of these surge of electrical energy coming down!" Yamaki called out.
"How's Celesta X fairing against the D-Reaper?" asked Takato.
"Well, if the D-Reaper is not looking so hot right about now, I'd say that Kari was in complete control," Henry replied.
"Yeah! She was giving D-Reaper the good old-fashioned butt kicking! You should have seen the look on D-Reaper's face! Ha! But it almost gave me the willies. Ech," Terriermon remarked.
"Great, just great. With all of this sudden increased electrical activity running amuck, we have no chance to walking out there to investigate that sphere floating in the center of the twin towers," Talley stated.
"Look. The electrical energy is suddenly dying down. The D-Reaper must be claming itself. Looks like we're out of danger for now," Janyuu said, "But we must be on alert! We'll never know when that thing is going to have another temper tantrum."
"Yeah and here I thought my temper was bad," Rika said, "But this D-Reaper is nothing more than an overgrown crybaby."
"More like a psychotic bitch," Terriermon remarked.
"Which makes it a good thing. You certainly wouldn't want to end up like that thing," Renamon said.
"What's that supposed to be mean?" Rika asked demandingly.
"Nothing, just making a compliment."
"Celesta X seems to be getting the upper hand. Lets just hope it stays that way,"Izzy said to himself. "We can't allow the D-Reaper to get anymore second chances."
Everybody soon got back into their positions and went straight to work on investigating the D-Reaper mass within the central part of West Shinjuku. There was something peculiar about the floating sphere and they would soon get to the bottom of it.
Beelzebumon was flying over the D-Reaper mass while taking a good look over at the mysterious sphere floating between the center of the two towers. A look of curiosity forms across his face.
"Hmmm, I wonder why that sphere is there. What could that D-Reaper be planning? Well, I'm just glad there haven't been any dopey drones to get in my way. Oh well. I shouldn't even bother. It's been too boring here. I better head off back to Ai and Makoto. And… whoa! Hey, you just ruined my thoughts! I'm sensing something huge over in the northern direction. It's off the scale! There's two major powers…"
Beelzebumon stood frozen for a moment and his eyes go wide all of a sudden at what he felt.
"Aw shit! There she blows!"
As soon as Demon and Pikkan were about to make their next attack, they turned and felt the enormous ki emitting from the D-Reaper.
"What! It's the D-Reaper's ki!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"That's right. You better pray she doesn't kill us off first. Then again, I embrace death unlike a weakling such as yourself."
"I'll prove you wrong, bastard."
D-Reaper's rage was now beginning to reach all new heights, as it suddenly broke out of its calm frame of mind. Mystic Celesta was restrained herself back and watched as D-Reaper was bloating up.
"YOU'VE PISSED ME OFF! I HATE YOU! I WANT YOU TO DIE! HA! NOW I'LL KILL YOU WITH ME!"
"What!"
"Oh no! Daisuke! Takeru! We have to take cover! The D-Reaper is about to blow!" exclaimed Buddamon.
"WHAT!"
Buddamon quickly snatches both fusion warriors and quickly takes cover underneath a pile of rubble. Mystic Celesta looks on with shock and then goes jumping out of the way. With on loud scream of rage, the D-Reaper exploded with a flash of red light shooting out in all directions and a huge shockwave was covering half of the city.
Earthquakes were starting to shake at where the whole bunch was. The Monster Makers, The Wild Bunch, The Destined and the Tamers were all taking cover. But each of the digimon, excluding Calumon, was looking out towards the window and saw a huge mushroom cloud forming within the outskirts of the city.
"That must have been the D-Reaper," said Henry, "It has to be. Mystic Celesta must have caused her to self-destruct."
"Yeah! That means D-Reaper realized its defeat and didn't want anymore part of Kari," Kenta said, "Looks like we've won this battle."
"Right. Remember what the sovereigns told us, if we defeated one entity of the D-Reaper, then the other will fall. So we took out old Ms. McGrumpy and the chaos mass should be weakened," said Terriermon.
"Nice terminology, Terriermon. But that's not the way its going to happen," Renamon said.
"Huh! Why not? But you saw what just happened," Guilmon said.
"Yes, but I can still feel the D-Reaper's ki."
"What! I can't even feel it. C'mon you're just being paranoid," said Biyomon.
"Oh no, I can feel it alright," Gomamon said, "And I ain't joking around this time."
"You're right. I doubt the D-Reaper would self-destruct just because it was about to be defeated," said Leomon, "D-Reaper is not stupid. In fact, she must have done this to make herself stronger once she regenerates."
This shocking revelation silenced everyone in the room that includes the whole digimon group.
"You think Celesta X will even have a chance of beating her in the next round?" Takato asked.
"It's very doubtful, but I still believe Kari can pull it off," the brave warrior replied.
"Um, sir. I'm also getting another pair of readings. Two wild ones are about to bio-emerge," Riley said.
"What! But I thought every trace of digital life was destroyed in the digital world."
"Doesn't seem that way and they've just bio-emerged within the city."
Leomon closed his eyes and could easily sense the kis that were about to bio-emerge. One of them happened to be a very particular digimon who was considered the only friend to the D-Reaper. And that would none other than…
Mummymon and Black Gatomon found themselves right in the devastated ruins of the once great city of West Shinjuku. Mummymon realized that the environment that he was standing on was organic and felt a very dark presence.
"So this I'm back on Earth?"
"Yes, Mummymon. You remember this planet pretty well. I've only been here once when a data stream caught me. I found my way back when a digital field emerged."
"So is D-Reaper really here?"
"I have no doubt. Dee is here, and this destruction pretty much proves it. It's as heavily destroyed as it is in the digital world."
"Well, at least the digital world I came from is still in safe hands…"
"For now. Remember, Dee hasn't exactly been satisfied yet."
Mummymon stopped at his tracks as he saw something starting to reform on the ground. It looked like pieces of the chaos itself as they started to move about like snakes in grass.
"Whoa! Is that slime apart of Dee?"
"It's proof enough! Let's go check it out!"
"Hey wait for me!"
Black Gatomon goes pouncing off into the far off distance with Mummymon hot on his trails. They were running over towards the scene of the battle that took place between D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta.
Mystic Celesta looked across the ground with utter disbelief, but then turned to see War Angemon and Imperialdramon jumping out of hiding.
"Kari! You rocked out there!" War Angemon exclaimed, "I never doubted you."
"I kind of surprised myself," Mystic Celesta replied.
"So, is the D-Reaper really gone?" asked Imperialdramon, "I don't even feel her ki anymore."
"Looks like I pretty much scared the shit out of here. She was practically beaten by me," Mystic Celesta replied, "But I guess she knew that I was simply toying with her."
"You mean you didn't even reach your full maximum power!" Buddamon asked frantically.
"Well, because I would have killed her off in a matter of seconds and I was looking for a good fight. But, I must say D-Reaper was pretty impressive at first until I used the Omega Blade."
"Awesome! Then, that means you've surpassed your brother," Imperialdramon stated. "By the way, where is he?"
"He's with Shintomon back in the outer digital universe. He's making amends to him about something. I really don't know the details, but he'll be back. You can rest assure that."
"Good. Well, TK. Another battle won by us. I'm not even worried anymore," said Imperialdramon.
"Same here. Hey Kari, one more thing before we go. You wanna see our fusion technique?"
"Yeah. I've been dying to see it, TK. Let's take a look at it."
The two warriors nodded to each other as they performed the fusion dance and then pointed the tip of their fingers towards each other. Buddamon looks on with great interest.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
Then a bright flash of light engulfed the two as they were quickly merged into one being and they stood out as War Dramon. Mystic Celesta looked on with amazement and started clapping.
"So, what did you think?"
"Awesome! I couldn't have done it better myself."
"All right. Now we're going to power up into our third level stage forms. Check this out."
As soon as they said that, War Dramon powers up and bright flash of golden blue energy surrounded his body. Mystic Celesta was again impressed at what she was looking at and started clapping once again.
"Like I said, nicely done!"
"Ok, now that playtime is over. Don't you think we should be heading back to the digital world?" Buddamon asked.
"No. We still have to take care of the blob mass. Lets go before it's too late," Mystic Celesta said.
Suddenly, just as War Dramon and Buddamon were about to follow him off, a glob of red chaos came out of nowhere and it started to engulf both of the warriors. Mystic Celesta turns and gasped in surprise at what she looking at.
"No! Davis! TK! Buddamon! Hold on!"
But as soon as Mystic Celesta tried to save them, it was all but too late. D-Reaper, who was now pieced back together, came popping out from the debris with a psychotic look on her face.
"No! But you're dead!"
"Think again! Now your comrades are nothing more than little pawns of my game! They will become apart of me!"
"No! I don't think so!"
"You're already too late. Now behold the emergence of my next evolution!"
With that said, the two globs that covered both War Dramon and Buddamon came bouncing away and attached themselves onto the D-Reaper. Mystic Celesta stopped at her tracks as the D-Reaper absorbed the warrior-contained globs and witnessed the D-Reaper making some sort of weird metamorphosis.
"No! It was too careless! I should have finished that damn thing off when I had the chance! This is all my damn fault!"
Has Mystic Celesta sealed her own fate! The D-Reaper has outsmarted out powerful hero and absorbed both War Dramon and Buddamon. Just who deadly will the D-Reaper become with these two absorbed into her being? Can the Tamers take action to save Mystic Celesta? Will Pikkan finish off Demon? How will the two Sailor Soldiers contribute to Pikkan's battle? Tai! It looks like earth will need you again! What will you do now?

Mystic Celesta: Shit! You bastard! How could you do this!

Tai: We have to go back and save my friends!
Gosenozomon: Wait! Not without these!
Agumon: Earrings?
Gosenozomon: Not just earrings. These earrings will enable you to fuse with another individual and it creates an even stronger fusion than War Angemon and Imperialdramon just performed. In fact, it's stronger than any digital fusion in existence.
Tai: we'll put this to use! I've gotta save my sister!
D-Reaper: Taichi! So, you've come back! I'm glad!
Omega X: Looks like I'll have to end up using these earrings with my sister. I'm not sure if I want to share bodies with my sister.
Keke: Father. You've finally been released for one day. Let's hope you'll become useful.

D-Reaper Reaches a New Super Form! One More Miracle: The Super Fusion!
Suddenly, just as War Dramon and Buddamon were about to follow him off, a glob of red chaos came out of nowhere and it started to engulf both of the warriors. Mystic Celesta turns and gasps in surprise at what he was looking at.
"No! Davis! TK! Buddamon! Hold on!"
But as soon as Mystic Celesta tried to save them, it was all but too late. D-Reaper, who was now pieced back together, came popping out from the debris with a psychotic look on her face.
"No! But you're dead!"
"Think again! Now your comrades are nothing more than little pawns of my game! They will become apart of me!"
"No! I don't think so!"
"But you're already too late. Now behold the emergence of my true self!"
With that said, the two globs that covered both War Celesta and Buddamon came bouncing away and attached themselves onto the D-Reaper. Mystic Celesta stopped at his tracks as the D-Reaper absorbed the warrior-contained globs and witnessed the D-Reaper making some sort of bizarre metamorphosis.
"No! It was too careless! I should have finished that damn thing off when I had the chance! This is all my damn fault!"
As soon as the D-Reaper starts to reform, her body was quickly changing. She became a little more muscular and there was now a golden armor chest plate covering her upper torso, which looked like Sakuyamon's armor. Her face became a little more like Rika's and her hair started to flow out really long and loose. Then a pair of gloves and boots formed around her arms and feet.
Mystic Celesta stared in shock over at the D-Reaper's newest transformation and started backing away as the D-Reaper held up her arms in triumph and cried out with a much deeper voice similar to that of Buddamon's voice
"This day will be remembered for the birth of the strongest being in the three worlds and also of the entire digital universe!"
Other side of the Digital Universe
There was a moment of silence amongst the group watching the situation unfold between Mystic Celesta and D-Reaper. Tai looks on unwillingly and held his fists tightly. His sister was pinned against the wall and he knew Omega X wasn't going to make a difference. D-Reaper's power has far exceeded anything he's ever faced.
"Shit! We've got to do something!" Tai cries out. "That bitch is going to kill my sister!"
"Yes, go now!" X replied. "There is no time to waste."
"Wait a second! Hold you're horses!" Gosenzomon exclaimed.
"What the hell for! My sister is going to die out there! She has no idea on powerful D-Reaper has gotten, If she's assimilated War Dramon and Buddamon, then she'll use that combo of brains and brawn to crush Kari! I can't sit around here and do nothing!"
"He's right, sir! This course of action on you're part is totally unnecessary! The Digital Universe is at stake here!"
"Who said I was going to let Taichi go empty handed?" the elder replied.
"Huh!" the others said in unison.
"Be patient. D-Reaper isn't going to end this soon. We shall wait until it is necessary for Taichi to depart to his world. Hikari has yet to show her full extent to her power. Trust me. This one can go either way."
"Most likely to her death! What the hell is this old man on!" Agumon thought.
Earth. West Shinjuku
Mystic Celesta stood her ground as she looked right over towards the newly evolved, D-Reaper. She was larger in size and looked rather well equipped than her last form. She felt her ki and it was definitely stronger than before. D-Reaper closely examines her body and puts her two fists together while cracking her knuckles. She lets out a good sigh and turns her attention right over towards Mystic Celesta.
"What's a matter? Not looking so confident anymore, Hikari? Not so 'hot shot' now? Tell, what do you think of my new form?"
Mystic Celesta stood there and didn't even reply to her question as he gets into battle stance. D-Reaper simply chuckles and turns all the way around to face him.
"Want me to explain how I survived that explosion? Ok, well since you're quite dying to know, I'll tell you anyways. It all started like this…"
Flashback
War Dramon looked right over to the large crater with great curiosity and waited for their enemy to come out and fight.
"Bah. I doubt D-Reaper is gone. She's much too strong to let that blast kill her off. Ah! Crap! That means we only got a few minutes to remain in this form."
Deep down in the shadows of the crater below, the D-Reaper starts to stir and regains her senses. The fusion warrior doesn't see her, as they started to believe that they actually killed the monster. D-Reaper overhears War Celesta's gloating
"Yeah! No kidding! This was one boring fight! I can't believe we were actually supposed to be afraid of this D-Reaper. What a joke," War Dramon commented.
"I had overheard their gloating and around that time, my opportunity to absorb them was cut short. I didn't want to absorb them while in their normal forms. That wouldn't even do me any favors. So I waited for my opportunity to come and that time came and it was all worth it…"
"FUSION EVOLVE TO!"
Then a bright flash of light engulfed the two as they were quickly merged into one being and they stood out as War Dramon. Mystic Celesta looked on with amazement and started clapping.
"Right when they fused back together, now it was my chance to absorb them and become the being that I am standing right before you."
Suddenly, just as War Dramon and Buddamon were about to follow him off, a glob of red chaos came out of nowhere and it started to engulf both of them warriors. Mystic Celesta turns and gasps in surprise at what he was looking at.
"No! Davis! TK! Buddamon! Hold on!"
But as soon as Mystic Celesta tried to save them, it was all but too late. D-Reaper, who was now pieced back together, came popping out from the debris with a psychotic look on her face.
"No! But you're dead!"
"Think again! Now your comrades are nothing more than little pawns of my game! They will become apart of me!"
"Now I have every single bit of their ki and I can use it to my advantage. Now I'm ready for round two. So, are you as confident as you were before? Hmph. Lets see you tangle with my newest form… because I don't think you even stand a chance…"
End of Flashback
"Now with these new acquired powers within my being, I will kill every single human on this planet. All humans shall be terminated."
"That's not going to happen, D-Reaper! I vow to defeat you first! We won't allow you to kill anymore innocent lives!"
"Is that so? You didn't have to take TK and Davis away from me!"
"This was the only way for me to gain an upper hand over you, Hikari. Now, let's cut this crap. I don't buy into sentimentality."
"I see…"
"Let us battle it out one last time to determine who the better warrior is. Come… But remember, I have the body of D-Reaper, the cunning and power of War Dramon, not to mention the mind of Buddamon. With these attributes combined, I'm ready to drive the final nail to your coffin."
"I'll show you why Tai and TK believe in me and why Takato looks up to me!"
"They don't! As a matter of fact, since Takeru is within me, he wonders why you never saved him. Davis thinks you're a coward and Buddamon lost faith in you. I'm sure Takato has grown to hate you."
"Shut up. You're just playing with my emotions. It's not going to work with me. I know my friends better than that."
D-Reaper waved her hand over to Mystic Celesta as they both levitated into the air. Then, they went flying up and started rising higher and higher. They then started to trade blow for blow against one another. They were moving so fast that now even Mummymon and Black Gatomon were watching in awe from under some debris.
"They move so fast!" exclaimed Black Gatomon.
"That's D-Reaper, but she looks so different and she definitely looks stronger. Plus I think I've seen that warrior before or it's just my eyes playing tricks on me again."
They both observed the battle as it continued to wage on. Mystic Celesta lands a hard fist into D-Reaper's stomach, which causes her to distort in pain. Then she grabs D-Reaper by the foot and starts swinging her down onto the ground below. Mystic Celesta goes in pursuit of his adversary and dodges numerous ki blasts that D-Reaper was firing away. Then they both fired blasts right at the same time, and they explode right in midair.
As soon as the forces explode, it causes them to strain against each other with shattering rock pillar behind Mystic Celesta. D-Reaper goes striking her into the ground and goes for a cannonball maneuver, but Mystic Celesta manages to elude her. They both charged up and delivered kicks to each other's head at the very same time. They quickly recovered and went over to land on a nearby fallen rubble pile as they faced each other.
Just then, a smile comes across the D-Reaper's face as she began to speak.
"Hikari. I'm disappointed. I thought you would actually be a challenge for me. What happened? Where's the challenge that I have been waiting for?"
"You're bluffing!"
"You think so? I don't even think that you're trying your hardest in defeating me. Now let us continue our little bout."
Mystic Celesta gets back into a fighting pose as she faced off against the D-Reaper once again. Mystic Celesta starts it off by kicking her, but D-Reaper catches both of her feet. Mystic Celesta went for a close-range shot, but D-Reaper swings her away so that she misses, then grabs her by the neck using her hair as an appendage. She starts choking her out with her hair. She then swings her around and tosses the mega into a nearby building. As soon as she hits the building, D-Reaper turns and fires away a ki blast at him. Mummymon and Black Gatomon both watched in horror as the blast engulfs both Mystic Celesta and the building.
Other side of the Digital Universe.
Tai, Agumon, X, and Shintomon both watched in alarm over the chain of events that have now taken place and it looked as though then turn of the fight has become turned to the worst.
"Now! That no good son of bitch!"
"She absorbed Davis, TK and Buddamon," Agumon said, "Now she's some sort of 'Super Reaper'."
"She absorbed my assistant! Damn her! Hey, Gosenzomon!"
"What is it!" the older Supreme guardian called out as he came walking by.
"Tell me, will Mystic Celesta be able to defeat this 'Super Reaper'?"
"Well, Shintomon. I really don't know, because this Super D-Reaper feels much different than from her last form."
"This is terrible! Now I can't even sense Mystic Celesta's ki anymore. It's starting to fade away," Agumon said with a horrified look.
"No!" Tai exclaimed, "We have to do something and quick! There's no time to lose!"
Earth. West Shinjuku
Super Reaper looks down at the fallen pile of rubble and knew better than Agumon did. She knew that Mystic Celesta was still alive after that blow and realized that she was not weak enough to get herself killed.
"She's just hiding her ki. That's not such a bad strategy. Oh well. I'll just wait for her to come popping out like a weasel. Any minute now…"
Mystic Celesta glares right up at the hovering Super Reaper while being covered underneath all of the rubble. She tried to pull herself up but she realizes that her chances of winning maybe be slim to even none.
"She's gotten a lot stronger. I have to watch out and keep my guard up. Then for sure, I'll be able to beat her. But first, I need to pull myself out from this pile of rubble."
Elsewhere within the city of West Shinjuku, the D-Reaper chaos mass was starting to spread out even further and was almost completely covering the entire city.
The Tamers and their comrades could only look on through the window as they watched the chaos mass starting to grow slowly and it did not look like it was about to go and dissolve away pretty soon.
Back inside the secret lab of Hypnos, the newly realized Grani was being repaired. Riley and another one of the Monster Makers, Rai, were doing some repairs and checking upon the visuals of Grani. Izzy and Shibumi came walking by as they examined the magnificent weapon. Izzy had quite an astonished look on his face.
"I must say Izzy, this is one impressive work you got here. I would never imagine you bringing you creation to life."
"I really fooled myself too. Believe me, this is perhaps my greatest achievement ever."
"You couldn't imagine how many hours he spent putting this all together," Tentomon, "And here I doubted his ability to bring it to life."
"That's because it is alive," Guilmon cut into their conversation.
"You really think it's alive?" Shibumin asked.
"Sure. We both shared a common bond in that battle against the D-Reaper's drones earlier ago."
"Guilmon. Tell me, did Grani manage to give you power after you took command of it?" Izzy asked.
"Never thought about that, but I would say that it was definitely giving me and Takato strength as Gallantmon. Sort of like a power boost," the red rookie replied. "But next time you ask me question, can't you speak a little more english that makes sense. You know all of that scientific talk makes my head all spinney."
"He has a point," Tentomon repleid.
Izzy lowers his head down as a sweat drop came down his head. Shibumi stood by as he took a closer look at Grani's crimson armor and admired its magnificence. Then without anybody noticing, Grani moved its eye around.
Riley looked at the computer monitor and was shocked at what she just saw. She went running back over to her colleagues in the other room.
"Everybody! Get by to a computer and fast! There's something you have got to see!"
They all did as told and were soon gathered at a nearby computer. Riley uses one of her saved files and gets a visual camera view of the actual digital world itself.
"Here what was recorded from Grani's view while still in the Digital World."
The Tamers each gasped at what they had just seen. The digital world was now a barren landscape with the chaos mass expanding out like never before. Even the Destined were horrified and could not believe the destruction the D-Reaper has already caused in one world, but were luck to realize that the other digital world was in safe hands.
Lopmon almost jumped out of her skin while seeing her sovereign, Zhuqiaomon, soaring through the skies while battling the chaos mass.
"No! Zhuqiaomon!"
"This is terrible! It looks like the entire digital world is already in ruins!" Takato exclaimed.
"About nearly one hundred percent of the digital world is disappearing as we speak," Mr. McCoy said. "And that's not all. But our own world is also in jeopardy as we speak."
"That's right. The D-Reaper is starting to appear in cities all over the globe," Yamaki said, "That also include Japan, Russia, the United States, China, Zaire, and any country with military defenses."
"The D-Reaper is definitely onto us! Now how are we going to stop it if it keeps multiplying in mass," Henry said, "There's no way our digimon can defeat a worldwide army of drones at the same time."
"If only Tai and Agumon were her, then we shouldn't have a problem once Omega X comes back," Takato said.
"Wrong again. The battle between D-Reaper and Celesta X has al turned for the worst," Izzy said, "It seems that the D-Reaper has absorbed War Angemon and Imperialdramon along with a panda digimon of some sorts."
"Buddamon! She's already absorbed three strong fighters! If that's the case, then Kari is in major trouble," said Joe.
"We're going to die, are we?" Jeri asked, "We can't die like this…"
"No! Just you wait and see. We're going to give up. Once Omega X gets back, then we'll have a slight chance! But I'm not about to admit defeat just yet!" Takato said.
"Hey. Who said you weren't the only one?" Rika asked, "I'm standing by your decision too, goggle head."
"Can't leave us behind right," Terriermon asked.
"You know. He's right. We're in this together and there's no I in team," Henry said.
Calumon looked over at the computer screen to observe the battle ensuing between the D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta. The two fighters charged as they began to square off once again.
The battle between alterian and demon came under way. Several shots were thrown as Pikkan was sent tumbling back through chunks of rubble. Demon came approaching the alterian and drills a fist to his gut. Pikkan coughs out a load of blood and falls to his knees. The demon lord chuckled as he was preparing to inflict more punishment to his adversary.
"Go… ahead…"
Demon took a step back as Pikkan stood on his feet with a determined, yet exhausted glare on his face. Pikkan raises his fists and smirks.
"Kill me… if you desire… But I… will die with… honor…"
"Really? How fitting for you, my friend."
"Leomon. Are you there? This is Pikkan…"
"Sending an distress signal I take it? I can read minds, alterian. It doesn't matter who comes to save you, I shall put them down to their knees. Call for Leomon. It won't make a difference. Now, how shall I dismember you? Shall I take you're arm or rip you're heart out? Decisions, decisions."
"Leomon… This is Pikkan… Can you hear me?"
At the location of the Kernal Sphere, Beelzebumon was already becoming bored out of his mind. There was simply no action and watching a floating sphere for the past hour wasn't going to do the demon any favors.
"This really bites! How can you expect a dumb ol' sphere just to float there and do nothing? C'mon! I want some action!"
However, the sphere simply floated as if ignoring Beelzebumon's taunts. This only managed to infuriate him. Suddenly the Kernal sphere started to shake violently and this brought a slight smile on his face.
"It's about damn time! Come and give your best shot!"
Just then, the sphere started to glow and the force of its glow quickly sent Beelzebumon flying back, but the demon lord was easily able to catch himself before being shot back further. Now the Kernal sphere was growing ten times its normal size and saw six, yellow orbs appearing around the Kernal sphere and to add it off, four objects started to form through each of the spheres.
"Was it something I said! Huh! I guess I only managed to make you mad. You seem to have a lot of power on your side, but lets you use it. Just showing your power isn't going to change matters any. It really doesn't matter, because I'm coming out of this the victor!"
The sphere finally completed its full transformation as black rectangular disks started to form as if a crest of some sort was created. Beezlebumon simply looks on with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face.
"Bah! Anybody can just transform and look like a million bucks, but it's the power within that counts and I bet you don't even have that! Quit trying to impress me and show me what you got!"
After the transformation, the sphere started to transform from a crimson color into a multi-colored ball with the 'crest' protecting all around it. This was ADR-10 as soon as the transformation was completed.
"Alright, you look impressive and your ki is just as strong. Maybe even stronger than mine, but it doesn't make a difference! I'm taking you down, D-Reaper scum!"
With that said, Beezlebumon cocks his positron gun and points it over towards the shielded sphere with a possessed look on his face.
"Bring it on!"
Back over at the old Hypnos headquarters, Cyberdramon and Guardromon were looking on from the top of the roof and watched the sphere's complete transformation.
"Oh heavens! What a tremendous ki I'm sensing from that sphere! Could this be Demon's work?" Guardromon exclaimed.
"No! The D-Reaper must be controlling it! I've never felt such a horrifying power! I believe Demon's control over the chaos is slipping. We have to get back into action!"
Just within the headquarters, everyone had witnessed the transformation and was shocked to say the least.
"The Kernal sphere looks like has been fully evolved," Mr. McMcoy said, "However, there's something else along with it. I can't get a good view on it. Whatever it is, it looks like it's about to launch an attack on the sphere."
Rika goes over and looks through the camera view to see none other than Beelzebumon facing off against the D-Reaper Kernal sphere.
"You guys! Beelzebumon is still there! We have to go out there and help him. He can't fight that thing alone!"
"Right! Mom. Dad. Looks like Guilmon and I are off again. You don't have to worry about me. I promise we'll be back."
"Bye, bye. We promise to come back," Guilmon replied.
Mrs. Matsuki could only look on with a saddened look on her face and cried onto her husband. Mr. Matsuki nodded his head in approval to his son.
"I promise we'll be fine. Mom, I'm sorry. But this something we have to do."
"Suzie. You and Lopmon stay here. This is going to be much too dangerous for you," Henry said while comforting his little sister.
"Take care, Suzie! Make sure you watch over her, Lopmon," Terriermon replied.
"Don't worry. You can count on me!" said Lopmon.
The Tamers and the Destined each walked out through the door, with the exception of Izzy, Jeri, Kenta and Suzie for obvious reason. As soon as they made it outside, an army of ADR-04s confronted them.
"Get ready to digivolve guys!" Sora exclaimed.
"Right!"
Each of the Destined's digivices and D-3s started to release beams of light, which allowed their digimon to digivolve straight into their ultimate-level forms.

The three ultimates, the two fusion digimon and the champion all stood together while the approaching ADR forces came closing in, but then Cyberdramon and Guardromon dropped into the action.
"Ha! Prepare to meet your programmer!" exclaimed Guardromon.
The digimon group all attacked the ADRs, which allowed the Tamers enough time to bio-merge with their digimon.
"Guardian Barrage!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Flower Cannon!"
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Static Force!"
"Justice Beam!"
"Spiking Strike!"
The majority of the attacks gathered into ki blast of energy and blasted away the majority of the ADRs in a large explosion of smoke.
"Alright! Time to bio-merge, Guilmon!"
"Right!"
Digimon Tamers second evolution "Evo" plays
Bio-Merge Evolution
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Takato holds up his D-Ark and presses it against his chest as he exploded with a stream of red data surrounding him. He felt his arms flow freely as he started to float down upon Guilmon as they merged together.
"Guilmon Bio-merge to!"
Guilmon's body started to break down as his reptilian skin was quickly giving way to a much more armored body that was silver. His limbs quickly transformed into that of human limbs. His tail gave way and he was now a bipedal figure. His face quickly evolved into every single of his evolutions. First from Guilmon and then into Growlmon. Then into War Growlmon and then into Guilmon. A view of Takato's face was shown and then a knight's facemask was shown. There was a pair of pure gold eyes underneath the dark silts of the mask. On top of the helmet was the face of Guilmon embedded on the top of his forehead. He goes flying out as a joust came appearing in his hand and a shield formed on the other. The shield has the same 'hazard' sign that was embedded on Guilmon's chest. Finally, a long, red flowing cape appeared as the new digimon soared out into a pose.
"Gallantmon!"
Gallantmon flew in for the kill and slashed his way through another group of ADR-04. Stingmon and Silphymon both came in to back the bio-merged mega up.
"Lightning Joust!"
"Moon Shooter!"
"Astral Laser!"
The three attacks all merged into a super powerful energy blast and shot right through the ADR army within a matter of seconds and the area around them exploded into a cloud of smoke.
"Alright! Our turn, guys," Rika shouted
Soon, one by one, Rika, Henry and Ryo bio-merged with their digimon to lend each digimon a hand in the battle.
Riley turns her attention right over towards Yamaki and then gave the nod.
"Grani is ready to be launched!"
"Alright, it's now or never! Time to launch!"
With that said, Grani was quickly activated and it started to soar off from its landing pod within the secret lab and flies its way out into the skies above.
"Lets just hope that Grani is in perfect working condition after installing the Yuggoth within it."
"You installed the Yuggoth program inside of Grani?" Izzy asked.
"Yes, but this time, it might do us good in the long run. Just you wait and see."
Jeri and Leomon looked on through the window to peer out towards the battle that was taking place.
"Jeri. Soon, we're going to have to go out there and fight alongside the other tamers," Leomon said, "Remember, you heart has to be in the battle. You have a lion's heart, don't you forget that."
"Yeah. You know what? I'm sick and tired of sitting here. Our friends need our support and we're going to give it to them. Let's go, Leomon!"
With that said, Leomon picks up Jeri and then goes running out the door as Mr. Katou tries to stop them., but it was a little too late as Leomon breaks through a nearby window and goes soaring off into the skies with Jeri looking down at the bottom from below.
"Now this is some ride! They're down at the battlefield!" Jeri called out.
"I'm on it! Hang on tight, Jeri."
With that said, Leomon goes soaring down towards the ground as Jeri hung on tight and felt the wind blow back against her face.
"Leomon! This is Pikkan! Can you hear me?"
Suzie and Lopmon also looked on from the window and watched as Leomon was diving down towards the battle.
"Wow that must be one fun ride," Suzie said with widened eyes and a gaping mouth.
Lopmon also shared the same look and he muttered, "You can that again."
As soon as Leomon landed, he replies to Pikkan's distress signal. He felt Pikkan's power slipping away.
"Yes, Jeri and I are out to extinguish the remaining agent army. What is it?"
"You'll have to abort it. Demon's power has grown exceedingly…"
"I understand. I've kept my eye on him for the past hours. I'm on my way, don't you die on me."
"Heh, I don't plan on dying… That's not my style…"
"What is Leomon?" Jeri asked.
"Pikkan needs our help. We'll leave the rest to Takato and the others. Ready to go?"
"Anything to help Pikkan. Yes, let's go."
Demon walks over to a fallen Pikkan and hoists him over his head. The demon lord starts crushing every bone fiber within Pikkan's neck slowly. The alterian struggles as the last breath of his life was being drained away. Demon chuckled with great pleasure and felt Pikkan's life force being drained slowly but surely.
"Yes, it will all be over soon, Pikkan. After this, you won't have to feel any more pain. You can join the list of victims I've claimed over many hundreds of years. Sayanora."
Pikkan gasped out and felt his body going numb. He was just going close to meeting death's doors. Demon squeezed to further deplete Pikkan's remaining life force. That is until several cries were heard from all around.
"What was that?" Demon pondered as he lost focus on the alterian.
"World Shaking!"
A figure hands out a massive ball of energy and smashes a fist to the ground. As a result, the ball forms into a shape similar to planet Uranus. Demon turns and is struck in the back. The smoke clears with Demon holding a damaged part of his wing.
"Damn, this is a magic-based technique. I wasn't expecting anyone with such attacks. I don't have any defenses against that…"
"Deep Sea Submerge!"
Demon turns to another side and is engulfed by a wave of water. The demon lord screams demonically as the water was seething through his skin.
"Who dares use such cowardly tactics! Reveal yourselves to Demon!"
His question was answered as a female pair was standing on top of fallen debris. One revealed to be a young lady with long, wavy turquoise hair and a delicate figure. She was wearing a dark blue sailor skirt, a white top equipped with a blue bow, a gold tiara with an emerald embedded in between and a pair of blue high-heel boots. She magnificent appearance was enough to put a sparkle in one's eyes.
"Invited by this new era, I am of the Outer Senshi! I am Sailor Neptune!"
Then, the other female figure came walking out from the shadows. She revealed to be taller than her counterpart. Her hair was short, blonde and made her seem like a male, but she is still very feminine. She too was wearing a dark blue sailor skirt, a white top equipped with a blue bow, a gold tiara with an emerald embedded and a pair of high-heel boots. She formed a serious look on her face towards the enemy known as Demon.
"Also invited by this new era, I am too of the Outer Senshi! I am Sailor Uranus!"
Demon was quite taken back by their sudden appearance. He wasn't going to take this. His body was slowly succumbing to the magic the sailors used on him. Pikkan rose to his feet with a glazed look.
"Sailor… Senshi? I've heard about them…"
"It seems this creep has been giving you trouble?" Uranus stated.
"Yeah, if you put it that way."
"I assume you're using ki techniques?" Neptune asked. "Leave this to us. Our powers have been severely damaging this demon."
"How do you possibly think you can defeat him!"
"We're not alone."
With that said, a group of other figures came walking out from the shadows. Pikkan was surprised by these turns of events. He saw a young man with long silver hair, a red long-sleeve coat and a massive sword in one hand. Then came a young man with black, slick-backed hair with a white shirt and blue jeans.
"We've managed to get some recruits who've been itching to getting a shot at this guy," Uranus replied. "While the children have their hands full with this invasion, we just couldn't sit back and let this demon have his way. Demon, am I right? Allow me to introduce to you, Inuyasha and Yusuke Urameshi."
"Nice day isn't it?" the black-haired boy said with a grin.
"I've had a bad day. All I came here for was to get Kagome and go back to the feudal era. You're cronies got in my way," Inuyasha growls.
"That's not all," replied Neptune.
"What now!" Demon exclaimed.
Another pair came walking out from the shadows; they had sailor uniforms similar to Uranus and Neptune respectively. However, one has long, flowing blonde hair and the other raven black. The blonde was wearing an orange skirt, a white top with an orange emerald embedded, a heart with a blue bow tied in between, a red bow tied to the top of her head, and a pair of orange high-heel shoes. Her heavenly blue eyes made contact with Demon.
"I am protector of the planet Venus! The Goddess of Love! Sailor Venus!"
The other was wearing a red skirt, completely opposite of Venus. She has a white top with a red equipped with a bow. She was also equipped with red heels. Her raven black hair blew against her face as her eyes also made contact with Demon.
"I am protector of the planet Mars! The God or Goddess of War, however you like to put it! Sailor Mars!"
"What is this a reunion!" Pikkan retorted.
"Don't forget about us," a woman's voice calls out.
"Can't forget about you too, Miss Ryoko," Neptune replied.
A woman with spiked, blue hair and a pair of yellow eyes came walking out. She was equipped with a black bodysuit with distinct red and gold markings. A laser sword materialized on the palm of her right hand.
"I won't need Tenchi to take this guy out."
Suddenly, a massive roar was heard from the skies above. Demon looks up and gasped as a trio of godly monsters appeared above the demon lord. One was blue with a massive body. The other was a red dragon with two mouths and a snake-like body. The last looked like a golden bird with a sphinx-like body. Standing on top of the last beast is a boy with an octopus-like hairstyle and a necklace puzzle around his neck. The item was glowing with a tremendous aura.
"How is this possible? Were they onto me since day one? No matter! I still have power to feed to D-Reaper! You all will still die on this very day!"
"Is that so, Demon!" another voice calls out.
The demon lord turns to see Leomon standing with Jeri at his side. With just about everyone surrounding him, Demon could do nothing more than laugh. They weren't taken back, yet they were cautious of what the demon lord may do next.
"Fools! Don't you realize the power I possess! You inferior sailors merely caught me off guard! Now taste this! Flame Inferno!"
The demon lord raised his hand and unleashed a blazing wave of fire. The group jumped away from the flames. Leomon snatches the wounded Pikkan and places him onto safer ground. Jeri jumps off of Leomon's arms and tends to Pikkan.
"Will he be okay, Leomon?"
"Demon severely damaged him, but with proper treatment, he should be fine. You keep an eye on him, Jeri. I'll be aiding our new allies."
"Be careful!"
Leomon jumps into the fray and slashes at Demon's side with his sword. Demon turns and trades blows with Demon. Leomon pulls his fist back and launched a massive wave that knocked Demon back.
"He's weakened…"
"You can thank us for that," Uranus replied. "Now! Attack him with everything we have!"
Sailor Venus was up to bat first as she forms a ring of hearts around her body. She then points the ring over towards Demon and forms them into a chain. Demon turns as the chain caught him in a tight grip. Normally if it were a ki technique, he would have broken free yet the magic flowing through the chain was harmful to demon types. Demon was no different.
"Damn… my skin is seeping away…"
Sailor Mars was next as she formed a wave around her and numerous kanji symbols appeared in the background.
"Burning Mandala!"
Mars shoots several magic-based fire attacks that didn't do Demon any favors. The demon lord cries out in pain, as he broke free of the chains. Demon turns around and felt a presence phase behind him. Then he felt a sharp stab through his chest. His eyes widened as Ryoko pushed through with her beam saber. She pulls it out and did plenty of damage to Demon.
"Curse you! Eat this, Flame In-"
"Tetsusaiga!"
Demon turns as Inuyasha came down with his massive sword and blasted the demon lord down. Normally, this would have killed any normal demon from the feudal era, but Demon was at a different level. However, the sword did do plenty of damage to Demon's injured body. They were taking advantage of the wounded animal, before he could become a dangerous one.
Yusuke readied his fists and prepares to use his most powerful technique currently: the Spirit Wave. Demon faces Yusuke lazily and is blasted with a powerful Spirit Wave, which caused a major shift to the landscape. Demon barely escapes but paid the heavy price. Demon was on the verge of death.
"No… No… I said… he will… die by… my hand only..." Pikkan muttered.
"You should rest, Pikkan," Jeri stated.
"I'm sorry… but that's not… going to happen. Demon… dies… today…"
The three Egyptian monsters were prepared to launch their attacks towards Demon. Yugi points down at Demon.
"The evil presence I've sensed all along was you! It was you who introduced this massive wave of chaos on this city! Obelisk! Silfer! Winged Dragon of Ra! Attack now!"
By Yugi's command, the three Egyptian gods each blasted their respective attacks and formed them into a combined ball of energy. Demon was too weakened to catch the ball and was severely overtaken. Demon screamed with bloody rage as the ball sent him flying through the air. The group moved away as Demon plummeted down.
"Is he through yet!" Jeri asked.
"No… I can still feel his ki… He's… very much alive… It will… take more than… that," Pikkan said. "He dies… by my hand only…"
With that said, Pikkan sits up with a wounded shoulder. The group turns to face the alterian. Leomon walks over to Pikkan.
"Stay out of this one, Leomon… He's mine… No one else shall take his life…"
"Who said I was going to stop you? But you're going to need to have those wounds healed after this. He's yours."
"Thanks…"
As soon as Pikkan walked over towards the fallen Demon, he prepares his fist for one final attack. Demon slowly rose out from the crater imprint. However, there wasn't a look of fear. Rather, the demon lord was chuckling under his breath.
"Leomon! He's actually laughing!" Jeri said.
"Yes! He's a madman! Pikkan! End it now!"
"Demon. For all the years you've put me and my people through, now I can finally say, 'Burn in hell'," Pikkan muttered.
Every other participant watched as Pikkan formed a wave of energy in his hand and punches his fist through Demon. The demon lord gasps as Pikkan focused the last portion of his ki into his adversary. Demon laughed as the energy erupted throughout his body.
"Yes! That's it, Pikkan! Put use everything you have in you're fiber! You've now realized that you've destroyed you're only opposition! Without me, you're a lost soul without something to fight for! You haven't won, Pikkan. What a laugh! My energy will be transfered into the D-Reaper and you will all die ultimately. Game over… my little friends… Ha! Ha!"
Pikkan pulls his fists out and jumps away as Demon's body exploded into a large cloud of data. Laughter was echoing throughout the skies as the data was slowly being transferred through the D-Reaper chaos mass. Demon had spoken the truth. His last remaining data was now being feed into the D-Reaper. Demon may be gone, but the D-Reaper was still very much alive.
"Jeri… Leomon…"
With that said, the alterian fell to his knees with a grin. Jeri rushes over and catches Pikkan's limp body. Leomon rushes over and helps Pikkan to his feet.
"He's dangerously running low on energy. We have to get him back to the others! They'll surely help him recover through his wounds," Leomon stated.
"Yes, the sooner, the better," Jeri stated. "Thank you. You saved Pikkan's life."
Jeri walks over towards the unified group who helped Pikkan take a stand against Demon. Uranus and Neptune looked down to Jeri.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, Pikkan would have died. I want to send my gratitude to each of you."
"It was our pleasure," Venus stated. "We couldn't let that creep run amuck. Besides, you kids have another enemy to defeat. At least, we helped you take one out of the picture."
"You take good care of that guy. He doesn't seem too bright, but he put up a very brave act," Mars replied. "I commend him for defending the honor of you."
"Thank you," Jeri replied. "Leomon. Let's get going!"
"Yes, I've got Pikkan. Let's get going."
"Goodbye to you all!" Jeri cries out. "I won't forget about any of you!"
As soon as Leomon hoisted an unconscious Pikkan over his shoulder, he picks up Jeri and flies off into the distance. The groups' waved out to the departing trio.
"Such a sweet little thing," Neptune replied.
"Whew, after that Dark Tournament, I could use some rest," stated Yusuke.
"Feh, no Jikan jewel. Looks like I play hero for no apparent reason again!" Inuyasha retorted. "Still, I've got to find Kagome."
"Mars, you think they'll handle the other enemy?" Venus asked.
"I'm sure of it. They've got some pretty awesome warriors. We've seen them take care of business," she replied. "We'll leave everything to them now."
"I sense that Demon's essence has been absorbed into the mass. This battle is definitely not over," Uranus thought. "The other enemy they call D-Reaper is getting stronger. Those kids better be on the look out. I've never felt an evil this powerful since the Messiah many years ago."
Would Uranus' revelations come true? It seems just about accurate. But would the D-Reaper get even stronger and reach past its limits?
Mystic Celesta goes charging and attacks D-Reaper head on, but it seems that she is able to dodge each of the punches and kicks being thrown at her. D-Reaper snatches her by the wrist and twists the female's arm. She then leaps out of the way from a Mystic Celesta's thrust kick. Even before the fused warrior realized it, a fist was quickly brought against Mystic Celesta's face. She just stares into shock in realization at what just happened. She couldn't believe that D-Reaper had detected every single of his movements.
(Danzig "Powers of Darkness" plays)
Mystic Celesta turns around to attack, but D-Reaper kicks her and strikes her down into the nearby rubble where she landed.
Mystic Celesta shoots out another 'Terra Beam' to break herself free of the rubble, but to his horror, D-Reaper blasts out a 'Hand of Fate' from her fists. She was able to assimilate Angemon's attack to her advantage. Mystic Celesta was too late to even move out of the way, as she held up her arms and goes to break it.
Mystic Celesta braces herself against the blast and was able to remain standing after being shot out. However, the angelic female drops to one knee in total exhaustion. D-Reaper lands nearby and approaches her adversary, as she started to boost the attack even further than Angemon ever could have done. Mystic Celesta was starting to lose consciousness as D-Reaper looks like with an evil grin on her face.
Suddenly, Mystic Celesta powers out and shoots out another holy-based blast over at close range, but D-Reaper jumps out of the way. She reached out for her arm, grabs Mystic Celesta by the face and goes slamming her further into the rubble buildings nearby.
Mystic Celesta slowly made her way through the fallen rubble and was shocked as he saw D-Reaper shooting out War Dramon's technique as a small little D-Reaper ghost started flying over towards the towering mega. The ghost goes diving in for the kill with its long streaking by.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Now you die!" the D-Reaper ghost shouted.
Mystic Celesta flies up and attempts to elude the tiny clone. She goes firing his 'Terra Beams' multiple times but the ghost was able to maneuver from each blast. Then, unaware of its secret, Mystic Celesta punches it and it explodes right in her face.
"Shit!"
D-Reaper laughs hysterically as she watches Mystic Celesta's smoked-up body plummeting down onto the ground below. D-Reaper slowly approaches the fallen female with a grin.
"Aww, it's too bad I won't be able to use my Super Ghost Kamikaze again," D-Reaper replied, "Hmm? I'm impressed, digital pest. You're still able to survive that. I commend you."
Mystic Celesta slowly rises up on her feet as she looks up and faces the D-Reaper with an angry glare. Overjoyed by this, D-Reaper walks over towards Mystic Celesta and snatches her by his neck. She then lifts her over her head. The female warrior was much too weakened to break free.
(End theme)
"Ugh… looks like it's the end for me. I gave it my all but it was all in damn vain… I tried my best, Tai…"
Suddenly, Black Gatomon had seen enough as he goes jumping out from the rubble. Mummymon looks on with shock and tries to pull him back but were unable to reach over to him.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing! You're going to get killed!"
"I'm going to try to talk some sense into Dee! Don't try to stop me, Mummymon!"
"But, you don't know what he might do to you. Its best we get away from here!"
"No! Dee healed me and I'm going to try to repay my debt to talk her way out of destroying Mystic Celesta…"
"What!"
"Dee! Over here! It's me, Black Gatomon!"
D-Reaper turns around and looks down. She could see Black Gatomon waving over towards him. A look of disdain comes across D-Reaper's face. It looked as though D-Reaper had recognized him, but then returned to choking the life out of Mystic Celesta.
Other side of the Digital Universe.
Tai and Agumon were angrily looking over what was happening and were unable to contain themselves. Tai quickly sits up and clenches his fists tightly.
"Tai, shouldn't we like be leaving and going back home? We have friends that need us!"
"All accounted for. You're right. Let's go, Agumon!"
"Wait! Not so fast!" Gosenzomon exclaimed.
"No! We can't wait! We got friends that need our help," said Tai, "Besides why do you want us to stay here for?"
"Because there's an old friend that is waiting to be released back into the world of the living…"
"You don't mean…"
"That's right, Taichi," X said, "It seems the Gate Keeper has allowed him to get another chance to fight the D-Reaper. You can thank Keke for that. Now you two will be able to fight together."
"All right! I can't believe what I'm hearing! Is he actually coming back for this last time?" Tai thought. "Ha, no wonder I had to stay here, because they were going to tell me that Matt was coming back! This kicks ass. Thanks, Keke."
"But, before you go, we have a little gift that might help you two in the battle against the D-Reaper," Shintomon replied.
"A gift? This better be useful, because the D-reaper is taking Mystic Celesta apart as we speak."
"Don't worry, Taichi. You won't be disappointed. I can assure you that."
Within the Digital Afterlife. Gatekeeper's Palace
Deep within the landscape of the undead, a massive ogre-like creature with a horned helmet and a black beard was reading through a file reading "Ishida, Yamato." This massive beast was none other than the Gatekeeper. He looks down over to Metalla X and nods his head in approval. The Gatekeeper looked down upon Metalla X, who was standing by with a halo over his head.
"I'm quite amused that your needing my help," the fusion warrior said, "I never thought I would be given another chance to redeem my actions."
"Dad. I've spoken with the Gatekeeper over a hundred times over," the strawberry blonde girl named Keke spoke. "You ought to be thanking me for this."
"Yeah."
"Just be glad that you were able to keep your body because of my decision. Now this is strictly business," grumbled the Gatekeeper.
"Ha, you know very well that I won't be able to do much to the D-Reaper. This has been nothing but a complete joke."
"You won't be disappointed, because you will have someone joining you in the battle."
"Oh really. Somebody like Omega X?"
"Exactly."
"Excellent."
"I know you'll make me proud, dad. You can do it! Only you can provide Tai with the help he needs."
"You will be sent back onto earth in a matter of moments. Remember, this has a limit to it. You can only remain on the planet for one day and then you come right back. So, you better sit tight."
With that said, Metalla X stood there with a slight mischievous grin across his face. Keke took notice of this and began to doubt her father. Could she trust in him to aid Tai in the battle with the D-Reaper? Only time will tell until Metalla X returns to earth for one full day. He had better make good use to this one day.
Earth. West Shinjuku
Mystic Celesta was unable to free herself from the grasp of the D-Reaper. She was soon losing her life force under the tight chokehold and her body was starting to go limp. D-Reaper grins triumphantly and speaks in a rather, low terrifying voice.
"Goodbye, warrior…"
Just as she was about to blast Mystic Celesta by placing the palm of her hand in front of the angelic warrior, Black Gatomon was crying out angrily.
"You better drop him now! This is not worth it, Dee! Killing is pointless and this whole act of destruction is pointless!"
Overhearing his pleas, D-Reaper looks right down over at Black Gatomon and aims his hand right over towards him instead. Black Gatomon gasped in horror and started to back away. Mummymon leaped out of hiding and pushed Black Gatomon aside.
"Get down!"
D-Reaper stops and then looks right over towards Mummymon. The two go staring up at their 'friend' with terrified looks on their faces. It was clear that all of the memories of the D-Reaper were gone and the monster points her fingers right down at unsuspecting digimon.
"Oh no! It was nice knowing you, Black Gatomon! Looks like we'll be joining the group of digimon that lost their lives. But I'm much too handsome to die!"
"Dee! Don't do it!"
D-Reaper simply grins and powers up her beam. A faint glow started to shine through the light itself and she prepares to blast her former friends out of existence.
"Prepare yourselves for terminations, Mummymon. Black Gatomon."
Just then, D-Reaper felt something approaching her at full speed. Mystic Celesta then punches her right in the face. D-Reaper coughs out blood as Mystic Celesta regained her momentum by hammering away at the D-Reaper. Punches and kicks were being thrown at her with rapid speed and perseverance. However, D-Reaper kicks her right into the air above and created three disc like attacks. They go flying over at Mystic Celesta but she manages to blast them away with her 'Terra Beam'. An explosion occurs in the skies above.
Mystic Celesta charges forwards and fires away more ki blasts over at the D-Reaper.
"Isn't it quite ironic? You're going to die by your own friend's techniques," said D-Reaper, "And there's nothing you can do about it."
D-Reaper cups her hands together and prepares an energy ball in the palms. She then thrusts her hands forwards and watches as a 'Holy Beam' goes shooting out over at the blasts. They both pushed each other back and exploded from there since the excessive force of the two beams was much too powerful to be involved in a stalemate.
Mystic Celesta was shocked to realize that even her blasts were cancelled out, but she was even more shocked to realize that D-Reaper was using the very same techniques that her own friends use often. She quickly phases out and D-Reaper is caught by surprise.
"What! Running away from me, coward? I'll find you. It doesn't matter. I'll still be able to locate your ki."
D-Reaper smashes herself right through a nearby building and finds Mystic Celesta hiding on the other side. Mystic Celesta goes dashing away at hyper speed, but she was unable to elude the D-Reaper. Wherever she hid, the D-Reaper simply phases at the location she hides.
Mystic Celesta stops at her tracks as D-Reaper quickly phased in front of her with a grin on her face.
"Going somewhere? Don't you dare play pussy on me! Only cowards run away from fights and that is what you are. You're a coward. You talked big when you were beating me? What happened now? Aren't you going to talk trash again? No? Whys is that? That's because I've become much more powerful and I've already become much faster than you can ever dream of."
Now starting to get frustrated, Mystic Celesta goes leaping up forwards at D-Reaper and starts attacking her with a barrage of punches and slashes. D-Reaper was easily able to maneuver from each attempted hit. D-Reaper dodges and then strikes Mystic Celesta down into the ground below.
Mystic Celesta lands hard and then fires another 'Holy Beam', which D-Reaper easily deflects by slapping it away to the side. The blast created a large hole nearby and D-Reaper goes flying down right through it. As soon as Mystic Celesta was getting up on her feet, a pair of hands came popping out from the ground and pulls the angelic warrior down underground. The battle continues to wage on underground as blast were being fired and fists were smashing causing citywide earthquakes.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon both waited in sheer anticipation of what could happen next in the battle. They didn't even go near the hole, in fear, of what might pop out and their heads off.
"Don't worry. This should be all over, because I got my trusty military weapon in hand! It will take anything down, even the D-Reaper," Mummymon foolishly exclaimed.
Black Gatomon rolls his eyes at the foolish digimon and a sweat drop comes down his forehead.
"You idiot… I can't believe I've had to put up with you. How can this Arukenimon put up with your stupidity?"
Everyone else at the temporary headquarters were grouped together since the Tamers and Digi-Destined had left to do battle against the D-Reaper. Lopmon felt a presence and looked out to find Leomon returning back. Suzie and Lopmon ran over as Leomon flew back inside through the window left open. Sonja came out of hiding and sensed Leomon's presence.
"Leomon! What's going?"
"What's the meaning of this?" Yamaki calls out.
"Please, you've got to help our friend here. He was attacked by Demon, but another group of people came and helped us defeat," Jeri replied.
"She's right," Sonja replied. "He's in very bad shape. Yuck, I bet Demon was responsible for this."
"Sir. There is a medical facility within this floor. We can take their friend and help him get treated right away," Riley stated.
"Ok. We'll take him from here. You're friends will need you're help," Yamaki ordered.
"Right. We're on it," Leomon replied.
"You take good care of him!" Jeri calls out. "I hope Pikkan is going to alright."
"Don't worry, Jeri. He's in good hands now. We have to worry more about helping our comrades and stop Beelzebumon from destroying himself," Leomon replied.
"Right! Let's go!"
Leomon picks Jeri up around his arms and flies out towards the D-Reaper chaos zone. With Demon out of the picture, the Hypnos team would take Pikkan to the medical room and tend to his wounds.
"Izzy! I just picked up large energy signals from the sector Leomon had departed from. It seems a group of powers helped them extinguish Demon. So he's out of our hair," Tentomon replied.
"Yeah and they brought Pikkan in. At least, he'll be in safe hands. All we need to do is worry about are the chaos mass and Kari's situation with the D-Reaper. The D-Reaper's power is growing and it will not stop. Even I'm too young to be cut out for this..."
Other side of the Digital Universe.
Tai and Agumon were about to teleport back to earth through a vortex that Shintomon had provided for him, but then he turns around to see both Gosenzomon and Shintomon running up to him.
"Tai! Listen, even if you and Mystic Celesta were to attack together, you still won't be able to defeat the D-Reaper."
"In that case, I guess when we become Omega X, we'll just fuse with Mystic Celesta."
"I doubt that the D-Reaper would want to wait that long for you two to complete the fusion dance," said Gosenzomon.
"So what should we do!" Agumon asked frantically.
"Well… there is one thing you can use. You see these earrings that I'm wearing. These are 'Goseno' earrings. Which are named after me. Cool, huh? Now attach this on your left ear Taichi. Digimon do not have to require wearing these, but you will have to just tell you're sister to defuse so you and she can wear the earrings."
"Yeah, I've seen earrings similar to this before," X stated. "Trust the old guy, Tai. He knows what he's talking about."
"Hmm. Well, I hate wearing jewelry, But what the hey…"
Tai places the earring on his left ear and then looks right over to Agumon, who simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Once Hikari puts the earring on her right ear, then you two and your respective digimon will be able to fuse into the super ultimate being. This is the last chance against the D-Reaper…"
"Yes! This is just what we needed! Agumon, this might just be our lucky day!"
"Mmmhmm."
Are the 'Goseno' earrings are what they seem to be? Can Tai and Agumon make it back to earth to see if the earrings work? Can he and Kari form into the ultimate fusion warrior that will bring down the monstrous Super Reaper? With Demon gone, will the Tamers be able to help Beelzebumon destroy the Kernal sphere in time?

D-Reaper: Yes! This planet is prepared for Armageddon! Prepare to die, earth!
Omega X: Kari! We'll have to put those earrings to good use!
Mystic Celesta: But, why?
D-Reaper: I don't think so! You're not fusing with anyone! Kari! You shall become apart of me!
Omega X: Shit! I knew this would happen!
D-Reaper: I've reached a new level, Taichi! Are you ready to die?
Omega X: My only option left is Matt… Hurry up, Matt!
Gallantmon: Beelzebumon! What are you doing! You can't defeat the D-Reaper alone!
Beelzebumon: Just what me, pineapple head!
Sakuyamon: He's going to get himself killed!
Metalla X: Fuse with you, Tai? How absurd!
Omega X: We have to do this to defeat the D-Reaper! Let's put the past behind us! It's the fate of our world!
Izzy: Next time on Digimon Tamers Fusion, episode thirty-seven!

SSJ4T: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Did you enjoy those cameo appearances by the anime characters? See? They were useful afterall! By the way, I don't own those characters. Or else Id be in a heavy lawsuit right about now. There's nothing else much to say but to check out the Zero Two fic. Until then, peace and be on the look out for the next Tamers chapter.

SSJ4T: Hey, all! Just wanted to share my two cents before we get started on the next chapter. As you know with Demon gone, the focus will now be on the D-Reaper. So, by the time the D-Reaper reaches her final form, the story will undergo heavy formatting. Which means that the battle with D-Reaper will turn out differently. We're just a few chapters away from that event. In the meantime, enjoy these next chapters because we're in for a bumpy ride. Anyway, let's get on with the fic. Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

Beelzebumon's Sacrifice! Yamato and Taichi's Ultimate Decision: The Super Fusion!
Other Side of the Digital Universe.
Agumon and Tai stood by as they examined the magnificence of the illustrious Goseno earrings. Their eyes were starry after gazing over at their brilliance.
Tai takes the earring and holds it in the palm of his hand while studying its structure. He was totally unaware that something so small and simple such as an earring would have power that would allow himself and Kari to fuse with one another.
"You see, Taichi. This earring will enable you to fuse with another individual and it create an even stronger fusion than War Angemon and Imperialdramon just performed," said Gosenzomon, "In fact, its stronger than any digital fusion in existence."
Shintomon has never heard such a fusion and was astonished over what Gosenzomon had just explained.
"How come I was never told about this? Was this one of the legends that I was never informed about eons ago?"
"Shintomon! I clearly know what you're thinking. I can't believe you never heard such a fusion technique!" Gosenzomon exclaimed, "You are very foolish! Children these days. Plus you can't hide your thoughts. I know better."
"I'm sorry, Gosenzomon."
"Hey, just be glad he didn't punk you out and ruin you're reputation," X remarked. "But remember this, Tai. Once you and your partner of choice use the earrings and once you fuse, the form will remain permanent. There's no possible way to reverse it? So, are you willing to go through such consequences?"
"Yes. Anything to help my friends and save the digital worlds," Tai said, "I'm the Digi-Destined of courage after all."
"Duh. Now get out there and kick some ass," X replied.
"And that's what I admire more. You are the embodiment of courage," Agumon stated.
"You're right and the real world is in trouble. One digital world has been laid to ruins and our on world is next. I can't allow D-Reaper to continue her path of destruction. Wait till I go out there and show her with this Digi-Destined of Courage can really do. I don't care if this fusion is permanent. I'll risk having to share bodies with Kari. How strange is that going to be? I can't picture myself merging with my own sister."
Tai stood by while gazing over the fusion earrings and clenched them under the palm of his hand.
Earth. West Shinjuku
The battle between Mystic Celesta and Super Reaper was still underway as the tide turned for the worst against Mystic Celesta. Their battle continued down below the cavernous tunnels below the city.
Motorhead's "Time to Play the Game" starts
D-Reaper was beating around Mystic Celesta within the underground subway tunnels and there were no subway trains to even get in their way. D-Reaper was definitely gaining the upper hand in the battle.
Now being covered by dirt and bruises, Mystic Celesta simply cursed under her breathe towards the D-Reaper.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon peer right over the hole leading down into the tunnel as Mystic Celesta was struggling and in trouble of losing her life.
Standing right over the subway stops down in the tunnels; Mystic Celesta lands and uses one of her energy shields that managed to reflect the D-Reaper's attack back towards her. The D-Reaper quickly phases out and the blast narrowly missed her. She comes up from behind Mystic Celesta and fires another shot from above. The angelic warrior didn't have enough time to avoid it and blasted it completely out of the tunnel.
Mystic Celesta lands on the outside, looking fatigued and nearly unconscious. Black Gatomon and Mummymon go running back as they saw D-Reaper levitating out from the massive hole.
"Ugh, this is getting completely boring. I better end this now. Ok, Hikari. You've amused me long enough but it's time for you to die."
Then without warning, Mystic Celesta activates her mystical healing aura. The aura started to heal her body to completely cleanse out every injury. As soon as her healing process finished, Mystic Celesta's eyes lit up and she goes flipping back onto her feet. This took d-Reaper back in surprise, but that only lasted for a moment.
"Well, you managed to heal yourself, Hikari. I should have seen this coming from an angelic digimon type. I must commend you for supplying yourself with a healing aura. Nice little trick. I guess you've saved me the trouble of me making you suffer. The more suffering from you, the more fun I will enjoy before you die."
As soon as she said that, she started laughing hysterically and this didn't set well for the female warrior. Mystic Celesta glares at her with sheer hatred in the look on her face. This was a completely new sensation for Kari since her fight with Virus seven years ago.
D-Reaper extends her hand out and fires a very weak blast at her, which Mystic Celesta tried to shield herself from. Then she turns her attention right over towards Black Gatomon and quickly fires a ki blast right over at him.
"Dee! No!"
Everyone remained petrified as the ki blast goes flying right for Black Gatomon. Everything seemed to be going at slow motion as Mummymon and Mystic Celesta gasped out in horror. Black Gatomon was too petrified to even move out of the way. The blast came closer and closer, which caused everyone's heartbeats to pump a little faster than normal as if there was a rush.
Then from out of nowhere, a watery blast came shooting out of nowhere and knocks away D-Reaper's beam. It was now taken completely off target. They all looked up to find the source of the ice blast. They were surprised to see none other than Michael and Metal Seadramon, another one of the many comrades of the Digi-Destined. Yes, Seadramon has the ability to digivolve straight to the mega level through these past seven years.
(End theme)
"Hikari! Did you miss us!" a voice called out.
They turned over to see a blonde-haired young man standing aside with Metal Seadramon, who let out a triumphant roar. Mystic Celesta waves over towards one of her long-time comrades.
"Michael! Seadramon! Good to see you! I see Seadramon can digivolve to the mega-level. That's good! In the nick of time too!"
"Yeah, you really saved me the trouble there!" Black Gatomon cried out. "I was going to be cat fillet!"
"Hey, I saw those two at the War Games. Wow, it must be some sort of reunion or something," Mummymon said.
D-Reaper looks right down at both Michael and Metal Seadramon with a disgusted look on her face. She cracked her knuckles and spit blood out from her mouth.
"Bah? Another one? How many more of these cockroaches will come crawling out of the walls?"
Suddenly, a smile crosses the face of D-Reaper as she twisted her neck back. If there were anything that pisses her off, that would be rude interruptions from outsiders.
"No matter. It's another lamb to be thrown in the slaughter. Digimon is analyzed as Metal Seadramon. He shall be exterminated."
D-Reaper points down and shoots out a blast over at Metal Seadramon. Michael cries out as Metal Seadramon snatches him and flies out from the blast. They turned to face the D-Reaper and gave her determined glares on their faces.
"Seadramon! Time for some River of Power!"
"Right!"
Metal Seadramon goes flying up into the air and then started encircling the D-Reaper. She starts spinning as her eyes went all spinning. Metal Seadramon hovers right in front of her and fires out a massive blast from his snout over at the D-Reaper.
"River of Power!"
D-Reaper watched and then holds herself out to allow the beam to engulf her completely. Metal Seadramon kept his target onto D-Reaper and wasn't going to hold back. It was all or nothing. Now D-reaper was completely covered in a watery substance.
"Yes! Nice way to take her to the cleaners, Metal Seadramon! Nicely done! Now let's finish this!"
Metal Seadramon hovers down and celebrates in triumph with his human partner. However, Mystic Celesta wasn't too sure and looks right over at the soaked D-Reaper. Suddenly, their smiles turned into dismay as they saw D-Reaper screaming out demonically.
"Whoa! That D-Reaper is something else!" Michael exclaimed, "Metal Seadramon! Your River of Power didn't even work! You've been perfecting its shot for these past few years! I can't believe it didn't pay off!"
D-Reaper laughed at their futile attempt to hose her down. She powers up a bright aura, which manages to dry herself off from the water.
"Ah, dry-clean. It's just the way I like it. Feh, that attack only proves that you're partner is a weakling.
"Damn! I nailed her head-on!" Metal Seadramon griped.
"You're right, buddy. We only managed to piss her off."
"Bah! Your attack was pathetic, Metal Seadramon. Now I will be forced to kill each and everyone of you off at once."
With that said, everybody was looking on with horrified looks on their faces, even Mystic Celesta was starting to become quite nervous. D-Reaper held out the palm of her hand and started to form a small energy ball, but then she upgraded her boost of energy and watched as the ball started to grow bigger. The ball now became a large sphere of destructive energy.
D-Reaper looks down at her adversaries with an evil sneer across her face much to the dismay of Michael, Seadramon and Mystic Celesta.
"Now, by my hand only, you will all die…"
Back on the other side of the city, another battle was waging on as the Tamers and the remaining Destined were battling the ADR forces, as they were off to fend them off away from the shelter where the Monster Makers and the Wild Bunch were hard at work. Their assignment was to investigate the floating sphere that had just appeared between the two towers of the Hypnos headquarters.
An ever so growing army of ADR-04s was firing barrages of lasers. Sakuyamon managed to gracefully maneuver right around their blasts and phases out to psych out her adversaries. Sakuyamon reappears above the ADR, who were left out and confused. Then she waved her hands around as several multi-colored spirits started to fly around.
"Spirit Strike!"
As then directs the spirits right over towards the ADRs as the spirit managed to rid of the ADR-04s. However, much to Sakuyamon's dismay, there were more to replace the defeated group.
Justimon goes flying around as he managed to slash right through several ADRs with his Accel hand. But, much like Sakuyamon, he was shocked to see more ADRs replacing the lost ones.
"Damn! They keep popping out everywhere! When are we going to catch a break!"
"Every time we defeat one group, another just comes by and replaces them!" Sliphymon replied, "We're fighting something that actually regenerates itself."
"That makes perfect sense," Justimon replied.
Mega Gargomon goes stepping forward as armor plate all over his body started to open up and unleash a large barrage of missiles directed towards the surrounding ADR army.
"Burst Shot!"
The barrage of missiles was enough to take out the ADRs with tremendous ease. Gallatmon comes charing in and slashes through more drones.
"Takato! We'll fend off the drones! You go and stop Beelzebumon!" Mega Gargomon said, under Henry's voice.
"Right! You keep them off while I'm off! Good luck!"
Gallantmon goes leaping up into the air and noticed Grani flying right by. The bio-merged mega goes calling out to it as if a knight were calling out for his majestic horse.
"Grani!"
Gallantmon goes jumping on board Grani as they started to soar off towards the skies above and over to where the top towers of the Hypnos building was standing. He would and try to prevent Beelzebumon from taking on the Kernal sphere.
"Let's ride!"
Silphymon goes flying up into the air as a group of agents were hot on his trail. He quickly phases out, which catches the drones by surprise. Silphymon reappears above them and has his hands already held back. He then thrusts them forward and unleashes a powerful energy ball.
"Static Force!"
The energy ball that was shot out from Silphymon, goes hurtling through the ADRs. One by one, they were quickly dissolved.
"Nah! Nah! Take that creeps!" Silphymon taunted.
Stingmon evades several ADRs and then holds out both of his hands as energy blasts came shooting out.
"Moon Shooter!"
One by one, each blast hits an ADR and they are each hit with multiple shots. Stingmon then takes advantage and goes phasing right behind them. His two arms are already extracted with long, purple blades. He stabs right through the whole ADR bunch with lightning fast speed.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon looks right over his shoulder and watches each ADR dissolve into nothing. Stingmon flies up in triumph.
"Way to nail it to them, Stingmon!" exclaimed Ken.
"I nailed them!"
Shakkoumon stood in the ADR's path as they started shooting out blasts over at him, but much like a vacuum cleaner. Shakkoumon was able to suck away each blast and then his head lets out a whistle, much like that of a teapot.
"Time to serve 'em up some beverages! Justice Beam!"
The powerful beam goes shooting out from Shakkoumon's eyes as the twin beams engulfed each ADR. As a result of being shot, they were each dissolved into particles.
"Now that's how you serve 'em up real good!"
Garudamon evades a group of ADRs and quickly goes soaring up into the skies above. The ADRs all looked up as if they were unaware of what was their fate. Garudamon powered up a fiery aura and unleashes a wave of fire over at them.
"Wing Blade!"
The wave transforms into that have a phoenix bird and goes engulfing the ADRs, which barbeques them and dissolves them into ashes.
"Looks like we got ourselves a barbeque!" Sora cried out. "Good work, Garudamon!"
Zudomon lifts up a group of ADRs, using the force of his strength to rip off their cables. He then tosses them up into the air and raises his hammer of his head.
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
With that said, he bashes the whole ADR group into the ground and uses his hammer to squish them into a puddle of chaos that only manages to dry up and dissolve.
"You're the 'mon, Zudomon!" Joe exclaimed while giving a thumbs up.
Zudomon gets down on his knees and poses out by flexing his body in triumph. Joe simply sighs at his digimon's bizarre behavior.
"He's gotta cut down on those fitness shows."
Lillymon stands on the middle of the street as a group of ADRs were vastly approaching her. But she didn't hesitate anymore time and quickly cups her hands together. Then as they came a little closer, a green energy ball forms in her hands.
"Flower Cannon!"
She then thrusts her hands out and sends a beam that shoots right through the ADRs, which disintegrated them into nothing but particles and dust.
"You showed them to never mess with a lady!" Mimi cried out. "Let's show 'em how Rosemon will play it out!"
With that said, Mimi's heart started to glow with a green aura, in turn forming the symbol of her former crest. The aura forms around Lillymon as she digivolves straight to her mega form.
"Lillymon warp shinka! Rosemon!"
Rosemon lands on the street corner and turns to see a group of agents running at her from all directions. The mega simply ducks under and allows the agents jump on top of her. With one gust of rejuvenated energy, Rosemon kicks agents off of her and whips them out with her rose whip.
"Thorn Whip!"
With lashes from her whip, Rosemon easily disposed of every agent, which attacked her. She then gets into a battle pose with her whip over her shoulder.
"Maybe you could pull of more of those Matrix moves!"
"Later, we've got more work to do!"
"Guardian Barrage!"
Kazu cheered and jumped around in triumph as he watched his mechanical partner take out several more drones with missile shots.
"It's time for a little sweet revenge!" the boy called out.
Just then, Cyberleomon came flying down as he slashes through an army of drones with ease and they go dissolving after being slashed. Jeri nods in approval over her partner's victory.
"Whew! We came just in time, Leomon! Nicely done!'
"What happened to you guys?" Sora cries out.
"We had a run-in with Demon, but we took care of him!" Jeri responded.
"Demon's gone? Wow, those two are really something," Joe stated.
"Yeah, we had plenty of help, but we'll explain everything later," Jeri replied. "All we can say is that Demon is gone, and we took Pikkan in to get properly treated."
"Pikkan!" Kazu pondered.
"Like I said, we'll explain everything later!"
After missing out on the fight involved with Mystic Celesta, Beelzebumon was staring down the Kernal sphere with frustration on his face. He was expecting a little more action from the sphere but got nothing for the past few minutes and he was starting to lose his patience.
"What's the matter, D-Reaper scum! Are you afraid of what I'm about you do to ya! Huh! You embarrassed me back in the Digital World. I'm not going down that easily! You have a debt to pay! You have ever right to be scared, because I'm about to stomp a mud hole in your whatever you have!"
With that said, Beelzebumon's arm slowly transforms into that of a long, positron gun. An evil grin forms across his pale face and he points it right over towards the well-shielded Kernal sphere.
"Say your prayers, D-Reaper!"
"Beelzebumon!"
"What!"
The winged demon quickly turns around to see someone approaching him at rapid speed. His eyes widened a bit, as he saw none other than Gallantmon riding on Grani. A sneer came over his face as he turns his attention back over to the Kernal sphere, as if he were ignoring the bio-merged knight.
"What the hell do you want! I don't need your help."
"Beelzebumon, we came to warn you. This thing is a lot more powerful than you think. If you attack it now, there's a good chance that you might not make it out alive. Please try to listen to reason."
"What? You want me to listen to you and your human friend, pineapple head? Take a good look at me. This is my ultimate power. I am Beelzebumon Blast Mode. When I reached this form, I knew I would not have an equal that will be able to compare to the strength of power I wield within my being. Even something like the D-Reaper couldn't comprehend."
"But, you're underestimating the D-Reaper's ability. Think about it. The other entity is taking apart Kari's fusion form. If she's unable to defeat it, then you don't even stand a chance in hell."
Beelzebumon gasped after hearing what Gallantmon had to say about Mystic Celesta's chances against one entity of the D-Reaper. Then his gaping mouth turns into that of a grin. This took Gallantmon back.
"Isn't that the whole point? Think about this, pineapple head. Isn't it a good challenge that makes a digimon truly stronger? I realized something. When you and I were pummeling each other into oblivion back in the Digital World, we were both weaker then. But now, we've gotten a whole lot stronger. As digimon, our fighting powers rise higher and higher after each battle. That's something the D-Reaper will never achieve and that's the sheer will to win a war."
"But, Beelzebumon. We must not think like that. Sure we've gotten stronger since then, but we still can't underestimate the D-Reaper's tenacity. We're practically walking on thin ice here. Wake up and smell the coffee. This isn't a digimon were battling, this is the single most destructive force that could wipe out all digimon and humans all together. Both will go extinct if we don't stop it here and now!"
"Shut up! I'll take this D-Reaper scum myself! Now stand aside and allow me to take care of this."
The demon mega turns his attention back over towards the Kernal sphere and points his gun out towards it.
"Take this, hot shot! Death Slinger!"
The positron gun, on Beelzebumon's arm, goes shooting out a powerful beam of energy and it goes hurtling over towards the shielded Kernal sphere.
"Let's attack it together with our best shots!" Gallatnmon said.
"I'm with ya on that one!"
Beelzebumon points out his positron gun over at the Kernal sphere and starts powering it up. Gallantmon holds out his shield and the hazard sign started lighting up. Then they both released large beams of energy that shot out with tremendous force.
"Death Slinger!"
"Shield of the Just!"
The two attacks both combined into one gigantic blast and it goes nailing the Kernal sphere dead on and a large explosion occurs as a result of it. It looked like that the Kernal sphere was done for. But slowly there was a smoke cloud slowly starting to dissipate.
"So, was that enough for ya, jaborni!" Beelzebumon called out.
As soon as he said that, the smoke cloud was gone and the ADR-10 was still unscathed from the combined blast attack. Beelzebumon and Gallantmon were both taken back by this and were shocked to realize that even their best shots were still not enough.
"That's impossible!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"No way! Damn you, D-Reaper!" said Beelzebumon, who was starting to tighten his teeth. "I'm going to take my gun and shove it up your ass!"
Back over at headquarters, everyone else that had remained there was watching the battle taking place. The Tamer's parents decided to help out with matters by aiding to Pikkan's wounds. It seemed Pikkan wasn't going to do very well at the moment. His wounds will prevent him from taking part in any action. His fight with Demon clearly drew him closer to death's doors.
A monitor had displayed Beelzebumon and Gallantmon confronting the massive D-Reaper Kernal sphere. The other was now in static after losing transmission of the Mystic Celesta fight.
"Sir. We've just lost transmission with one of the battles. There's seems to be some sort of high-level energy disrupting the transmission," Riley said.
"Damn! Do we at least have a view of the battle taking place up where the Kernal sphere is floating around Hypnos?"
"Yes, sir. We do and it doesn't look good for our side. They just fired a combined energy force that still wasn't enough to penetrate the Kernal sphere."
"Izzy, how's the transmission coming along?" Talley asked.
"Still working on it. Man, this thing is really on the fritz."
"It's been a while since I was involved in a battle. Let me go and help them out!" Tentomon said.
"We'll save you for later. Besides I really need you're helping fixing the transmission."
"All right, but I still want to go out into battle later on."
"Fine. We'll do that as soon as we get transmission back."
"It's a deal!"
Talley had her eyes on Izzy but then snapped back into reality as she resumed her position in getting a view on the Kernal sphere.
"Anything yet?" Yamaki asked.
"Sir. We're getting some strange transmission from one of the digimon," said Riley.
"Put it on view."
"On view now."
Yamaki looked over at the screen and noticed Takato inside of a red sphere with data floating all around him. He was now beginning to become a little more suspicious.
"Zoom in on the view. There's something a little peculiar about the view. Maybe I can get a communication from Takato through that COM device. Takato can you hear me? This is Yamaki…"
"Yes? Mr. Yamaki?"
"Are you okay out there? Where are you at the moment?"
"Well, lets just say that I'm in a pretty tight spot now."
"What? What are you talking about?"
Riley zooms in on the view and Yamaki views something that manages to catch his attention. First he saw Takato thrashing his arms around and then saw an overview of Gallantmon thrashing his arms around much like Takato. Then something clicked into Yamaki's mind. His mouth went dry and his mindset was completely shattered by these turns of events.
Soon, just about everyone of the Tamer's parents were watching the computer monitor as worries came over each of them, especially cries from the mothers. Mrs. Nonanka was crying like there was no tomorrow when she saw Rika within Sakuyamon. Mrs. Wong was no different when she saw Henry within Mega Gargomon.
Yamaki looks out from the window and presses his hand against it. His voice pretty much said it all. He was shocked and in disbelief at what he just saw.
"No! I didn't see this coming! How could I have let the children interact with the digimon this close! I never knew that they could merge into single beings."
"Well actually they can. My friends happen to know about that. It's called digital fusion. It's when a human and a digimon merge into one, powerful fighting being. The Tamers are no different. However, there are minor differences," Izzy stated. "My friends have more experience in this sort of thing. The Tamers have only started using this form of defense.
"But they're only children. They have less experience compared to the likes of you're friends."
"Not anymore, Yamaki. They're fighting to save our world. We have to rely on them and my friends. There is no other choice. Not even the military can do anything to stop our enemy, the D-Reaper."
"But it just didn't have to be this way…"
"Stand back, Suzie! I'm going out there to lend our friends a hand!" Lopmon cries out.
"But wait!"
"Blazing Ice!"
Yamaki was taken back by this and looks over to see the chocolate-colored dog rabbit shooting out an ice blast that completely shattered a window.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing!"
"Relax, Yamaki. Let Lopmon go. Suzie is a Tamer too. Remember, everyone with a digimon has one common goal and that is to defeat the D-Reaper. Go on Suzie, show everyone that you're a worthy Tamer," Izzy said.
"Ok!"
Lopmon nodded as she went flying out into the air and then goes diving down towards the battlefield. She was quickly engulfed by a pink column of light and was now starting to digivolve.
"Lopmon shinka! Antiramon!"
Antiramon goes flying across the skies and hovers down towards the ground as an army of ADRs was surrounding him.
"You boys wanna piece of me? We'll bring it on!"
The ADRs didn't hesitate and they started to move in on the ultimate-level rabbit digimon. Antiramon quickly phases out and reappears behind them as her hands turned into blades.
"Eat this! Bunny Blades!"
One by one, each of the ADRs were taken out and dissolved as a result of Antiramon's relentless attack. The ex-Deva landed back on the ground and then looks back up where she waved to Suzie.
"Thank you, Suzie. I won't let you down."
As soon as she said that, Antiramon heads off into the battle zone where she would soon meet up with the other digimon in their assault against the agent army.
Other Side of the Digital Universe.
Tai and Agumon were about to head out through the portal to teleport back to Earth. Suddenly, they stopped as Tai turned to face Gosenzomon and Shintomon.
"You think it would be best if we went into our fusion form?" asked Tai.
"No. I don't think that's even necessary yet," Gosenzomon replied, "I think it would be better to change forms after fusing, but if its even necessary at all."
Tai and Agumon turned their attention back over at the portal as Gosenzomon continued on speaking.
"But listen very carefully before you go. The Gosenzo fusion can only last once. And only once."
"You had better hurry it up, Taichi," said Shintomon, "Its beginning to look really ugly out there on Earth. D-Reaper is about to create a great destruction that could very well destroy the real world."
"Shit! He's right! Get you're ass in gear!" X replied. "Those guys aren't going to last long!"
Tai and Agumon nodded in agreement while waving to the two higher powers. They then turned and went right through the portal. In a matter of moments, they would be teleported right back on Earth.
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper, who was now covered in a demonic red aura, was laughing demonically as she prepared to throw the immense sphere of energy. There was nothing anybody could do stop her. It was the end of the planet as they speak. D-Reaper's power has far surpassed everyone's expectations.
"Damn! I can't believe that we can't do a damn thing!" Mystic Celesta said, "If we even attempt at blasting it, it will only make matters worse and destroy the entire planet!"
"Michael! I sense nothing but a strange emptiness from that ball of destruction," said Metal Seadramon, "It's nothing but pure darkness."
Mummymon's gun was even totally useless as he and Black Gatomon were gazing up with horrified looks on their faces. They now hugged each other as their lives were soon about to come to a sudden end.
"It was nice knowing you, Mummymon. You big idiot."
"See you in the after life, little kitty!"
D-Reaper was now about to wipe them all out as she started to laugh maniacally. She was about to toss the apocalyptic energy blast, but was then cut short as War Greymon materializes and spins in a tornado that slices right through the D-Reaper. D-Reaper was cut clean in half as War Greymon reappears out of nowhere.
D-Reaper's lower half lands right in front of both Metal Seadramon and Michael. They all looked up to see her upper half still hovering in the air.
"Tai! It's you!"
"Hey guys!" the young man calls out as he run over to them.
"It's good to see you again, Tai!" Michael called out.
"Michael? What are you doing here?"
Mummymon looked on with shock and looked right over at his gun in disbelief and then at the fallen lower half of the D-Reaper. A smile forms across his face and he started laughing to himself.
"Wow! I really shot her in half! I saved the Earth from being blown apart! I did it myself!"
"You didn't do jackshit," replied Black Gatomon, "It was that young guy and his War Greymon that saved us all."
"Oh, but that's still a relief."
"You're telling me! I thought we were going to die! Thanks! Whoever you are…"
D-Reaper quickly manages to recognize both War Greymon and Tai. She then starts calling out to him.
"Ah! Taichi! I knew you would come! Now! Have you come to marvel at my ultimate form! I am the single greatest threat in not just two worlds, but also the entire cosmos! Just think, you're simply no match for me! You might have come back, but I'm way above you as far as power is concerned. So much for those reunion plans, Taichi."
"Ah, but you may have. However, Agumon and I managed to find ourselves a new weapon," Tai said.
"Huh? What are babbling about?" D-Reaper pondered.
"What are you talking about?" Michael asked.
"Yeah? What weapon? What did Shintomon give you as that gift?" asked Mystic Celesta, "That must be the weapon!"
"I don't know what you're talking about! You're simply bluffing, Taichi!" exclaimed D-Reaper.
With that said, D-Reaper started powering up and her lower half starts moving about. This quickly took Michael and Seadramon. D-Reaper than used a form of telekinesis, which causes her to kick her feet up. The force of the kick then nails Metal Seadramon in the stomach. As a result of this attack, he and Michael were both sent forcefully into the air.
"Michael! Metal Seadramon! D-Reaper! They were caught off guard! You damn coward! We're coming to make you pay for you're crimes, bitch!" exclaimed Tai.
D-Reaper's legs started to levitate up into the air and then were pieced right into her upper torso as she quickly returned into her normal, whole form. She starts chuckling at Taichi's futile threats.
"Ha! As you can see, there's nothing you can do to inflict damage upon me, Taichi. I've got your number and I will destroy you like cannon fodder that you really are! Oh, I'm sorry. I interrupted you. You were giving a speech. You said that you were going to make me answer to my crimes?"
Suddenly, there was a slight grin coming across Tai's face.
"Oh yeah? Why did you even bother reconstructing your body then? Answer that one," Tai said as he turns his attention right over to Mystic Celesta.
"Sis! Here, catch!"
Tai tosses the other Gosenzo ring towards Mystic Celesta. The female saw it coming flying towards her as if her new fate was coming to him at the palm of her hands. But it goes dropping out of her hands and it lands right on the ground. Tai was completely shocked by her terrible catch.
"Damn! I missed it!"
"There's no time to waste, Kari! Pick it up! Put it on your right ear, so that we can fuse!"
Mystic Celesta nods her head in agreement and lowers down to search for the earring frantically. D-Reaper has managed to overhear their plan and then speaks up.
"You two about to fuse on my time! I don't think so! So, I'll start off by killing you!" D-Reaper exclaimed while pointing over to Tai.
"Just give us a little more damn time!" War Greymon calls out angrily.
"I'm no longer in the mood to wait around anytime longer! I've completely lost my patience! Now die!"
Just as D-Reaper was about to make her move, Tai and War Greymon both screamed out as they transformed into a two separate beams of light. They soon merged together and within a bright flash of light, Omega X was quickly formed. Omega X then ascends straight into his third level form.
The beam comes hurtling right for Omega X, but he manages to quickly dodge
out of the way.
While Mystic Celesta was still searching for the missing earring, D-Reaper lunges right at Omega X and strikes him down towards the ground. Mystic Celesta finally locates the earring, but D-Reaper shoots out a beam that hits her hand. This causes the female to lose grip of the earring once again.
"Oh no!"
Omega X comes closing in and blasts D-Reaper at a very close range. He shoots a barrage of ki blasts that were completely ineffective against the monster. D-Reaper starts her attack once again and starts kicking Omega X around as Mystic Celesta desperately still tries to relocate the earring.
D-Reaper lunges right for Omega X in the air, as she intended on finishing him off for good.
"You're dead, Omega X! You shall fall before my hand!"
As soon as she comes closing in, D-Reaper stops almost immediately and starts crying out in pain. Omega X noticed her starting to scream in pain while holding her chest. He was very confused at what was happening to D-Reaper. Now her body armor was replaced by a karate gi, much similar to Buddamon's. Omega X quickly realized what had just happened.
"That's it! He lost the power of War Dramon and that power dispersed from D-Reaper's body. Their time limit of the super fusion was only for thirty minutes. D-Reaper never realized that would turn against her in the course of the battle. Now that she lost the power of War Dramon, she should be relatively weaker now."
Mystic Celesta blasts away a large boulder with a Holy Beam and then finally locates the missing earring.
"Tai! I found it! Now it's time to call forth the power of super fusion!"
Mystic Celesta picks it up with her hand and then waves right over towards Omega X with the earring in her hand.
"What should I do with it, Tai!"
Omega X simply looks on grinning at D-Reaper and powers down.
"There's no need for us to use the earrings anymore, Kari. D-Reaper is weakened. Let's take her with everything we've got," said Omega X.
Now starting to become anger over the situation and desperate as ever, D-Reaper glares over at the two warriors with hate but then smiles as an idea had come to her mind. She then looks down and notices a piece of herself were still cut off from her body.
"Heh. Fortunately, I've got some insurance to cover for me," D-Reaper replied.
Without even realizing it, a small chaos mass was starting to slither from behind Mystic Celesta. The angelic warrior was totally unaware of what was about to happen to her now.
"Come to me, Hikari!" D-Reaper calls out.
"What!"
She quickly turns around as the chaos mass starts to expand in size and engulfs Mystic Celesta from within. The female tries to struggle to break free but to no avail. Much like War Dramon and Buddamon before her, Mystic Celesta was now a floating blob mass and she was then levitated over towards the D-Reaper.
"No! Kari! Gatomon!"
Omega X tried to stop the blob mass, but it was too late. He watched in utter horror as D-Reaper absorbed the blob mass containing Mystic Celesta and watched as it attached itself onto her body.
Omega X goes and picks up the earring that Mystic Celesta dropped and then turned to witness the new transformation of the D-Reaper. Now hovering from above the D-Reaper develops a garment outfit similar to Mystic Celesta's and a powerful, black aura covering her body. Since Mystic Celesta's power was of light and good, D-Reaper's new power was pure evil and she now sports a black aura.
"Ha! Awesome! Now my power has grown stronger than it ever has! I'm so sorry, Tai. You were too late to save you're sister, but she's in a much better place than she already has."
"Don't you ever speak about my sister!"
"She hates you for not saving her, Tai. She hates you to the bitter end."
"Shut the hell up! I don't want to listen to that voice of yours anymore!"
"Bite you're tongue!" the D-Reaper replied.
"Damn! Our hopes have been dashed! I have to find the rightful partner that will merge with me! I need on warrior that is strong enough to share the power of the earrings with. I don't care who it is!"
Omega X looks across his surroundings and saw nobody, except for Mummymon and Black Gatomon. A look of disdain came across his face and couldn't find a possible partner to fuse with. He looked over and noticed the unconscious bodies of both Metal Seadramon and Michael.
"But who will be the one person to share the earrings in order to perform the Gosenzo fusion! I would say Matt, but I don't even see him…"
"Were you anticipating for my arrival!"
D-Reaper and Omega X both gasped when they heard a very familiar voice. They both turned around and saw a very familiar figure with a rather sly grin on his face. D-Reaper growled angrily, but Omega X looks like with a smile on his face.
"Well, Tai. It's been a while," the voice said.
"Yamato!"
The figure that stood on the cliff was indeed Matt, who was already in his Metalla X form. The fusion warrior looked down upon Omega X with a grin.
"What's the matter? Are your eyes playing tricks on you again? Did you really think I would fully accept death for a second time?"
"But you are dead, right? How did you get another chance to walk on the surface if the living?"
"I'll explain everything to you since you are so interested. You see, it all started like this. I met with the Gatekeeper and we made a compromise. Keke also had a hand in this…"
Flashback
Keke and Metalla X both teleported onto the Earth's surface. Metalla X unveiled his cloak and motions over towards Keke. The girl smiled and took the warrior's cloak. She then gives him a thumbs up.
"Matt, this is as close as I'm willing to bring to you to D-Reaper. This is fine?"
"Fine by me. I really don't care as long as I'm near the D-Reaper. My death at D-Reaper's hands will only be delayed that much longer."
"Just be glad I did you this favor, Matt. You are my future father. Otherwise, you would have been stayed digital limbo. There would have been no way to return you back. So, are you willing to go through with these consequences?"
"Yes."
"And that was then Keke brought me back to the real world. As you can see I am a ghost of sorts, but would a ghost look this good?"
End of Flashback
"Well, I've got to hand to you. For being a dead guy, you still know how to use your head."
"Exactly. I came here to get my revenge on the D-Reaper, not to help you."
Metalla X turns away as he turns to face the D-Reaper with a death glare on the look on his face. D-Reaper looks right over at the fusion warrior with curiosity and a smirk forms across her face.
"So, you must be the D-Reaper? Wow, how did you turn out being so ugly?"
"I've gone through some transformations here and there. I've already absorbed the ones named Takeru, Buddamon, Daisuke and Hikari into my being. That's right, and I have harnessed every single one of their powers. In addition to my own."
"Well, is that a fact? You also managed to absorb my brother. No matter. I'll get him back. I can certainly guarantee you that."
"Ha. I don't think you will succeed. C'mon, wake up back into reality. Haven't you forgotten my first form defeated you? That was my child form and you were so easily defeated. What makes you think you'll be able to defeat my more mature form?"
"I have good confidence in myself. I face the greatest of warriors and I have triumphed over them in the end. You will be no different, D-Reaper. You can try to blast me away back to hell, but the fact of the matter is this: I'm already dead. There's just no point in killing me off again."
Omega X goes flying in and hover right beside Metalla X with a concerned look on his face. He waves his hands in order to get Metalla X's attention.
"This is not the time, Tai. I'm here to get my revenge on the D-Reaper! Don't even dare interfere! You also still owe me a finish to that fight we had. Have you forgotten?"
"Can we just forget about that stupid little fight! Listen, this thing has already destroyed one digital world and has absorbed every single one of those digimon. Plus you just heard him say that he absorbed your own brother, Kari, Davis and Buddamon! We'll be next if we don't act quick!"
"And how do you propose we do that, Tai? What kind of plan do you have in mind?"
Omega X holds out the left Goseno earring. Metalla X looks over and examines the fine, piece of jewelry with great interest. However, his grin turns into that of a dissatisfied frown.
"It's a piece of jewelry, so? Mimi could really use another pair."
"No. No. No. You don't get the point. These aren't just a regular pair of jewelry. I'll tell you what they are. These are the Goseno earrings."
"The Goseno earrings?"
"Yeah, these will enable two fighters to fuse into even stronger being after they each place the earring on their separate sides. Like for instance, you see me wearing mine on my right ear. Here, I've got the other. You can place it on your left ear. Then we will finally be able to fuse with one another and become the ultimate fusion fighter. A warrior that will bring down the D-Reaper once and for all!"
Suddenly, Metalla X started laughing hysterically. Omega X was shocked beyond belief at Metalla X and his hysterical laughter, as if Matt were calling Tai a fool for believing such a myth.
"Ha! How can we be sure those things will really work? Besides, I don't believe in those kinds of fairytales! Tai, really, you need to grow up. All of these fantasy tales need to go."
"But Matt. I'm speaking the truth."
"Bah! And even if they did work, I would never want to fuse with you! You're the last person in the world that I would even consider on merging with. I would rather suffer eternal damnation in digital limbo than fuse with you! Never in a million years!"
Just then, D-Reaper was beginning to become a little irritated by their conversation and received no action from either fusion warrior. She held up her hand and forms a red ball of ki in one hand.
"You two are starting to bore me! I'm just going to kill you right here and right now! Prepare yourselves warriors! Die!"
They both turned as D-Reaper was heading their way with her arm outstretched with a red ball of ki formed over her head. Metalla X quickly ascends to his second level form as he prepares to attack the D-Reaper head on.
"Matt! Your attacks won't even affect him! You better clear away from her! She's going to blow you to bits, even if you are dead! Please just put on the earring! Its the only way to save us!"
"Never! I have the D-Reaper to myself! I don't need your help and I don't need to wear that damn earring!"
Omega X looks on as Metalla X goes flying over at D-Reaper to attack her with ferocity. The warrior of courage sighed to himself and placed the earring in his pocket as he ascended into his second level form.
Omega X goes flying in as he and Metalla X teamed up on the D-Reaper with great ferocity. Metalla X and Omega X both stood at separate as they fired ki blasts at the very same time. But then D-Reaper throws a ki blast of her own. The three blasts came hurtling towards each other and they meet, combined and crashed right into the ground below. Thus it created a huge explosion that causes smoke to go billowing up into the skies above. D-Reaper comes up in front of the two fighters and all three warriors faced each other off.
"Metalla X. I'm disappointed in you. You're attacks are pathetic. I see no threat coming from you or Omega X. Since I can't find a decent challenge from you two. I'll just have to kill you off here and now."
The two warriors got themselves prepared as they faced her off while getting into fighting stances.
Back over on the other side of the city, Guardromon were shooting off missiles in order to keep a group of ADRs at bay. Kenta and Marine Angemon managed to get themselves involved, in order to help out Kazu.
They both watched as Guardromon shot down ADRs with great relief across their faces.
"All right! That's what I call sweet revenge as I like to call it! Feel the wrath of Black WarKazumon!"
"Um, guys. Don't you think we're a having a bit of problems here?"
"What do you mean dude?"
"Like that!"
Kenta points out towards the ADRs that were starting to encircle them. The two boys were starting to cower away as their digimon stood in protective positions to prepare to ward off the ADRs.
"It's been nice knowing ya, dude! So much for reading the results on Battle City! Now I'll never get to compete in Duel Monsters again!" Kazu exclaimed.
"This is it!" Kenta cried out, "And I didn't even get a chance to ever get a girl!"
Just then, each of the ADRs had fallen and turned into a puddle of slime. Kazu uncovered his eyes and had expected himself to be wiped out but he felt no shots being fired away at him. Kenta did the same thing and noticed Antiramon standing in the middle of the street with her blades intact.
"Are you guys okay?" Antiramon asked.
"Yes! You saved us in the nick of time, Antiramon! Thank you!" Guardromon said.
"Yeah! We've got saved by the bunny!"
"Um, don't get yourself a little too carried away here, Kenta," said Kazu, "We still have work to do."
The Destined came running by with their digimon as they turned to face Kenta and Kazu.
"Hey! You two! This isn't the time to sit around and argue! It's time to get serious! Lets go," ken calls out to them.
Another group of ADR-04s came rushing in to attack. However, the digimon were able to evade them off as the group started to destroy the ADR army one by one.
Kenta and Kazu go rushing to the Destined group as they watched their respective digimon were doing their parts in exterminating the drones. Even, Marine Angemon was having his way and shooting out his 'Khuna Waves' to dissolve several, unsuspecting ADRs.
Suddenly, the Kernal sphere was starting to become active again as if it were retaliating against both Gallantmon and Beelzebumon for their attacks a little earlier on. A large, white sphere appeared from within the Kernal sphere and there were multitudes of many bright lasers shooting out towards the two megas.
Beelzebumon was able to phase away from each laser being fired away at him. However, it was not easy since there were many lasers coming out right at him.
"Hey! Quit shooting at me! So you want to play fire with fire? Well, your about to get burned! Eat this!"
As soon as he said that, Beelzebumon summoned forth his shotgun and points it directly at ADR-10. He stood forth ready to power up his gun as a shower of lasers was coming forth at him. Each laser was missing Beelzebumon, but one shot Beelzebumon right in the hand and quickly deletes his positron gun. Beelzebumon was taken back by this and phased away before getting shot.
"Heh, target practice! That Navy Seals game really helps a lot!"
Gallantmon saw this and went straight towards Beelzebumon.
"Beelzebumon! Hang on!"
Gallantmon maneuvered Grani over to get him across towards Beelzebumon. However, ADR-10 was overhearing his cries and then dispatches two large disks. They flew out and stood still for a moment. One appeared from above Gallantmon and the other just below him. The two large disks then separated into thousands of tiny pieces as they all at Gallantmon at all sides. They were all fired at the bio-merged knight as he cried out from the damage being inflicted by the onslaught.
With sheer anger burning up inside of him, Beelzebumon goes flying towards ADR-10. Just then, one of ADR-10's yellow spheres rotated around to reveal a large, blue 'eye' of some sorts. Beelzebumon stopped at his place and heard a deep, feminine borgish voice speaking. He was horrified to realize that it was coming from the D-Reaper herself.
"Subject being analyzed."
"What! What! What!"
"Subject now analyzed as Beelzebumon. Demon Lord type. Mega level. Virus."
"Shut up! Shut up! I know who I am already! You don't have to repeat it! I know I'm that damn good! Now, I'm about to shut that damn eyeball or yours! Then again, how can an eye ball talk!"
"Negative. You shall be the one that is to be deleted, Beelzebumon. Prepare yourself to be wiped out from existence."
"I'll show you who you're dealing with here, sucker! You humiliated me in the real world! You don't have that little imp backing you up! I'll make you even sorry for coming into the real world and here's a little something as I like to call it in my terms 'a go away present'. Consider this as pay back."
With that said, Beelzebumon quickly draws an outline of a yellow star with his positron gun. It looked like the actual sign of Satan himself, but this time around it would be useful against the ever so powerful D-Reaper. Now the star became the actual sign of the devil, a circle started to form around the star. Beelzebumon was outwards from the star and was holding out his gun right in front of the symbol. He then began to charge up and fired a large blast away through the star.
"Take this! CHAOS FLARE!"
The star then changed form a bright yellow, then to a bright red and finally into massive pink-purple blast. It went hurtling forward and smashes itself right against the ADR with sheer power behind its force. The demon lord continuously was firing away more shots through the symbol.
"How do you like that! You enjoying it! You better. Because this will be the last time you ever inflict pain on anyone ever again!"
The Kernal sphere was starting to shake and slowly the smoke cloud was being cleared away. Beelzebumon looks on as he was catching his breath deeply. A smile forms across his face.
"Now, how do you like that! Game over!"
But as soon as the smoke cloud dissipated, a sheer look of horror came across the face of the demon lord. The whole ADR was completely unaffected and unscathed from the attack.
"What! Shit! I had a clear cut shot!"
ADR-10 retaliated by blasting out a beam over at Beelzebumon. He tried phasing away but was quickly shot in the arm, which blasts away his Positron gun. Beelzebumon looks on with horror as the gun was quickly deleted.
"No! That was from Makoto!"
Beelzebumon realized that his gun was gone and he began to look back to when he first received his gift from Makoto. He could easily remember it and was angry over that fact that the gift was taken away from him.
Flashback
Impmon turns to see the little boy with a toy gun in his hands.
"Impmon! If you're going to go out there to save your friends, then you can use this."
"Huh? For me?"
"Yeah! And you can use it to blast the bad guys out with it!"
The demon lord looked down at his body in shock and felt his ki returning to him and giving him back his full power. He smirked and looks right down at the toy gun as it started to glow an aura of purple light.
"Thanks, Makoto! This might come in more handier than you think!"
Beelzebumon watched as the toy gun quickly transformed into a large gun with two hooks at the end.
End of Flashback
Beelzebumon held his fists tightly and he was starting to grunt angrily under his breath. He had a possessed look on his face as he held out his fists in the air with sheer rage.
"That was from Makoto, you bastard! I'll make you sorry for even coming into this world! I'll make you pay!"
Beelzebumon goes rushing over towards the ADR and had a look of vengeance across his face. The ADR started to fire away a barrage of laser shots in order to nail Beelzebumon with, but the demon lord used his motivation to phase away from each shot.
Gallantmon had returned back to the scene while riding away from the ADR-10 disks that were giving him and Grani a long chase. He tried evading them by flying in all directions: from his left to his right. Then went straight up and went straight down. But all to no avail.
"Takato, we got to find a way to lose them! They keep following us like homing missiles," Gallantmon said, under Guilmon's voice. "I know but I've never been a situation like this before. So don't go blaming me."
"Takato, can you hear me?"
"Huh? Mr. Yamaki?"
"Are you able to hear me?"
"Loud and clear."
Yamaki was once again able to make a communication with Takato. Talley snapped her fingers with a white headband around her forehead.
"Bingo!"
"Alright, Takato. Listen loud and clear. We've installed the Yuggoth program within Grani. You can use it against the D-Reaper's Kernal sphere. You see it?"
"Yeah! It's right in front of me!"
"Alright. Now it's your chance to use it! Make sure you locked the sphere on target!"
"Roger! Takato out!"
Yamaki held his lighter tightly and was now starting to become visibly shakened.
"Lets just hope to God that this works…"
Beelzebumon was breathing heavily after phasing out so much and felt half of his power being drained away. Suddenly, he heard a voice calling out from behind him. He turned to see none other than Gallantmon, with Grani.
"Beelzebumon! You better move out of the way!"
The winged demon simply grins and evades away from Gallantmon's distance and allows him to take advantage of the situation from here. Gallantmon was approaching fast as he looked right down at Grani. Grani opened up his mouth to charge up a large ki of blue energy. The ball then turns into three separate spheres with yellow electricity lined up through each of them.
"Yuggoth Blaster!"
With that said, Grani goes firing out the three connected energy spheres, which were now fully powered up, and goes shooting out a gigantic blue blast that goes hurtling right for ADR-10. The blast successfully hits ADR-10, head on, and a massive explosion occurs as a result.
Both mega digimon looked on in anticipation and it was a success. ADR-10 was quickly deleted and all that was left was the sphere.
"Beelzebumon! Now it's your chance to destroy the sphere. I have a good feeling that the sphere may hinder the D-Reaper's potential power. If we do that, we can destroy this entity. Which in turn would weaken the other, allowing the others to finish D-Reaper off. Sound like a plan?"
"Fine. Whatever. Now, if you excuse me! I got a sphere to tear up!"
Beelzebumon goes flying over towards the sphere and goes hammering away with closed fists. He quickly started cursing out every word known to man after each solid punch. But none of which were doing jack as far as Beelzebumon was concerned.
"C'mon! Break! What don't you break! You better freaking break! You've got a got with ol' Beelzebumon!"
Beelzebumon was starting to lose his breath, which in turn, allowed him to scream out and charge up his fists with purple energy flowing through them. He cups his hands together as a dark, misty purple ball started to form in the palm of his hands. He starts chanting out his new attack, which echoed throughout the skies.
"DARKNESS..."
The ball started flaring up and Beelzebumon felt his ki starting to rise as a result. The ki ball started to grow bigger and bigger after every power-up.
"SPHERE!"
With that said, Beelzebumon thrusts his hands forward and releases a massive beam of purple energy. The beam goes tearing right through the sphere and in turn, weakens it in the process.
"All right! Time for a little more!"
Beelzebumon cups his hands together and forms the ki ball in the palm of his hands once again.
"DARKNESS BEAM!"
The demon lord once again fires away another shot right through the sphere and there was another hole torn tight through it. A confident smirk comes across Beelzebumon's face.
"Time to finish this, D-Reaper!"
Suddenly, the holes inflicted within the sphere were now starting to regenerate themselves. This only managed to further infuriate Beelzebumon as he started charging up hi ki once again.
"Shit! Shit! D-Reaper! Why don't you freaking die!"
"Beelzebumon! Look out!"
Gallantmon looked forth and saw the disks that had chased him earlier ago start flying their way over towards Beelzebumon. The bio-merged knight goes flying out as fast as he could to reach over towards Beelzebumon, as if everything seemed to be going in slow motion.
"Oh this is going to hurt…"
Gallantmon was getting closer to pushing Beelzebumon away, but it was a little too late. The disks had caught Beelzebumon from behind and started to pierce themselves right through the demon lord's back. He let out a horrifying cry of bloody murder as he pulls his head back. Gallantmon could only look on with horror as Beelzebumon started to fall.
"Beelzebumon! No!"
Just then, Mega Gargomon, Cyberleomon and Sakuyamon were coming forth in the skies as they watched the whole thing that had occurred. Henry looks on as he cried out from within Mega Gargomon.
"Beelzebumon!"
Rika was able to look on from within Sakuyamon and her eye were widening in worry like never before.
"No! This can't be!"
"Beelzebumon! Hold on!" Cyberleomon cried out as he flew down in order to catch the fallen demon lord.
Suddenly, Beelzebumon's body was starting to dissipate as if he were slowly being deleted. His power was now leaving his body and his form was now leaving him. The power of Beelzebumon has now fallen at the hands of the D-Reaper. But if there was one thing Beelzebumon didn't lose was his pride.
"…D-Reaper… you may have beaten me and taken away my body… but what you will never taken away… is… MY PRIDE!"
The demon cried out and a bright aura of yellow energy surrounded his body as the flash of light that Beelzebumon was emitting from his body blinded everybody looking on. The pride of Beelzebumon would still live on but his form was starting to die away. Cyberleomon rushed in as fast as he could to catch up towards the fallen demon lord.
"Beelzebumon… you truly are a warrior or pride… thank you for fighting at our side… even if it was temporary," Gallantmon said under his breath.
A sudden silence had come over the group as Beelzebumon was starting to fall within the depths of the chaos mass itself. Cyberleomon was diving down to catch up to him as if everything were in slow motion. Then there was a sudden fade to black as a result of this.
(Metallica "The Struggle Within" plays)
Back over at the other side of the battle, the two fusion warriors looked on at the bright flash of light and felt a dying ki. Omega X was able to recognize this as none other than Beelzebumon.
"That was Beelzebumon, Metalla X. He had given up his body to sacrifice himself against the D-Reaper. But it was his pride that made him stronger. Do you realize that if we don't fuse soon, we're going to lose more valuable souls at the hands of the D-Reaper?"
Metalla X looks down at the ground and was now starting to feel for Beelzebumon. He clenches his fists tightly and looks right over towards the D-Reaper with an angry look.
"Even if Beelzebumon is gone, I'm not about to let my weakness get to me! I'm better than the D-Reaper and I will prove it!"
"Matt! This isn't the time for all this macho crap! Beelzebumon could very well be dead for all we know!"
"Shut up!"
Metalla X holds out his hands and starts firing away a barrage of ki blasts over at the D-Reaper. She watches as they all crash into her all at once. Then, she merely creates a shield and repels the blasts. They all started to crash into the ground in a series of explosions.
Metalla X had seen enough as he goes attacking D-reaper head on, despite Omega X's pleas. D-Reaper is able to block out every single one of Metalla X's blows, and sends him sailing back with a fist to his face. Metalla X manages to recover and charges back into the fight, but the D-Reaper grabs him from behind.
Omega X had seen enough and goes charging in to save Metalla X. he goes and punches her right in the face and relinquishing her hold on the fusion warrior of friendship. The two warriors attack D-Reaper at once. But even fighting together, they were still no match for D-Reaper. Neither one of them couldn't land a single punch on air, as if they were only punching the air itself.
"Damn you, D-Reaper! Hold still!" Metalla X cursed while shaking in rage.
"Matt! Stop being foolish and put the damn earring on!"
Metalla X simply looks over at Omega X and over at the earring, but simply doesn't respond.
"Matt! I don't understand. Why are you acting like this? C'mon, I thought you had a change in heart."
"I'm angry over the fact that you were holding back when we fight the last time. You were hiding that third level of power hidden. You lied to me! I wanted you at your very best!"
"Look, what's done is done. I'm sorry, Matt. I should have unleashed my third level form. But wake up! I didn't want to humiliate you. I wanted the fight to be fair and I couldn't let my third level come into fruition."
"What!"
"Besides, that third ascension could only be used for a very short time. It's that powerful."
"Shut up! I'm in no mood to listen to anymore of your damn excuses! You were always like that Tai! And you're still no different!"
"Ugh! I'm so sick of you're crap, Matt! Enough is enough!"
D-Reaper looks over at the two fighters and was looking rather irritated that they weren't even making a single move on her. She goes shouting out to get their attention.
"You two shut up! Why aren't you even paying attention to me! I'm the one whose about to destroy your pathetic world and here you two are, arguing! I should just kill you off right now!"
D-Reaper starts firing at them with a barrage of her own ki blasts. They both phased out to take cover behind a group of fallen debris. They then stepped out together and started firing away a group of multiple shots at D-Reaper. She manages to counter with her own shots. The blasts sliced each other into bits, which hit the surface of the earth like furious drops of rain.
The two fusion warriors were barely able to dodge any of her ki blasts, which in turn rip the debris into tiny pieces. D-Reaper laughs maniacally as she watches the cloud of smoke billowing from the surface.
The two warriors managed to crawl out from the under the rubble and Omega X looks right over towards Metalla X.
"Now, lets fuse!"
Metalla X doesn't even respond to Omega X and had his attention over towards D-Reaper with a look of rage.
"Matt! Get out of this funk of yours! I've had it with your crap! Your own brother has been absorbed by the D-Reaper to make herself stronger! Your son and your girlfriend, Mimi, will die if we don't stop the D-Reaper here and now! We're going to lose our friends and families because of this psycho bitch! Is that what you want? For both your son and Mimi to die! IS that what you want! Damn it! You better answer me!"
Metalla X paused for a moment and with on sigh, the warrior manages to release his won pride. The pride of Matt was finally overcome. D-Reaper goes charging forth the two warriors with a red energy sphere forming in her hand.
"Tai! Toss it over!"
"All right! I knew you would come through!"
"Hurry up!"
Metalla X reaches out for the earring. Omega X gratefully tosses it to him and Metalla X catches it with ease.
"You two have lived far long enough! Its time for you to die!"
Just as D-Reaper was about to close in, Metalla X places the earring on his left side of his ear. The red sphere was now growing larger and larger as D-Reaper came closing in.
"So is this how you're supposed to put it on?"
"Yeah. There's one thing you should know. When we put the earrings on, we're going to merge and remain in that form forever."
"AH! Why didn't you tell me earlier, moron! Thanks for the damn warning!"
Metalla X finally attaches it to his left ear.
"There! Like this!"
"Yes, Thank you, Yamato Ishida."
(End theme)
Then within a bright flash of light, Omega X and Metalla X are quickly pulled together.
"To the end of your Earth!" D-Reaper cried out with sheer determination.
(Digimon Tamers Second Evolution theme "One Vision" plays)
D-Reaper goes halting with the red sphere in her hand. She looks on with amazement at what she was looking before her. The newly fused warrior resembled a bit like Omega X and Metalla X.
Their body armor was a mix between the two, with hints of orange and metallic blue all over his body. The symbols of both courage and friendship embedded on his chest and encircling one another. Their helmet had a mixture of both War Greymon's and Metal Garurumon's faces imprinted on it. A new pair of gloves and boots were intact. Their facial features had quite a resemblance of the two digi-destined. The face was quite similar to Tai's and the eyes were the same blue color as Matt's were. Then they spoke, which was a mixture of both Matt's and Tai's voices together.
"All right, D-Reaper! This is it! You are looking at the ultimate fusion warrior! And you're about to suffer our wrath! Now get ready to get your ass pummeled into oblivion!"
D-Reaper stopped at her tracks and was now starting to become a little bit more worried. The newly fused warrior simply looks over at them and gives a confident smirk across their face.
(End theme)
With Beelzebumon possibly gone, can the Tamers defeat the Kernal sphere? And now that Omega X and Metalla X have finally fused into the ultimate fusion warrior, can they really put D-Reaper's lights out for good? And why is D-Reaper starting to sweat this early? The fight hasn't even got started yet!

(Preview)
Fused Warrior: D-Reaper! I am the embodiment of you're destruction! I am the warrior of both courage and friendship! You're reign ends here.
D-Reaper: By you! Just because you fused with one another doesn't make you any stronger! You're nothing more than an overated hype!
Fused Warrior: Is that so? Well, I'll just have to test out my abilities.
Gallantmon: Who is that!
Cyberleomon: It's Tai and Matt! They must have merged together!
Sakuyamon: Impmon will be fine for now. We still have some business to finish!
D-Reaper: I can't even lay a hand on you! Who are you!
Fused Warrior: Just call me, Kaiser X. We are the combination of Omega X and Metalla X, the strongest warrior throughout the multiverse. I'm also going to become celebrity after you end up on the receiving end of an ass-kicking by yours truly!
D-Reaper: I will not fail! I'll destroy this dimension before you can even capitalize!
Izzy: Now this is a show!
Yamaki: The next episode is entitled…
The Ultimate Fusion Warrior: Kaiser X! D-Reaper Shatters the Earth's Dimension!
Kaiser X: Don't miss me grand debut!
SSJ4T: Indeed it will be Kaiser X. I decided to change the name of Metalla X and Omega X's ultimate fusion name from Omegla X to Kaiser X. I just felt that a name change was in order. Now, I've planned a little preview for the final chapters of the D-Reaper Saga and that should be up within the next two chapters. All I need is a good song to dedicate the preview. It needs to be based on an apocalyptic event, like an end of the world sort of thing. This will be a good way to jump start the saga with an exciting twist.
Coral: By promoting it?
SSJ4T: yeah, it's the final battle until at least I start working on Digimon Fusion season four.
Coral: I guess. I like the preview idea.
SSJ4T: Anyway, the next chapter will be posted soon. Without school to hold me back until early December, I can get those chapters out of the way. Until then, peace!

The Ultimate Fusion Warrior: Kaiser X! D-Reaper Shatters the Earth's Dimension!
Earth. West Shinjuku
The newly fused fighter was looking at his new body and was quite impressed by it. He felt his power already risen to new heights. He started to demonstrate his body's movements as he began to throw some kicks and punches into the air around him.
D-Reaper had stopped in her place and was looking on with a rather shocked look on her face. She slowly started to dissipate her energy ball that she was about to throw.
The powerful fused warrior stops for a moment and then looks right over towards D-Reaper with a confident look on his face.
"So, how do you like our new form, D-Reaper? Allow us to introduce yourselves. Ok make that myself. Ok, we're both Metalla X and Omega X. So, you can call us Kaiser X."
"So, you two managed to merge into one being? Hmph! The ones named Daisuke and Takeru already performed that technique and I was able to pound them to oblivion! What makes you actually think that you're going to hurt me? You may have regained a great deal of more power, but you are still no match for me!"
"Oh yeah? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and just bring it!"
Kaiser X holds out his hand and then gives her a 'bring it' hand motion. The D-Reaper was taken back by this and was starting to fume. However, Kaiser X was still giving him the hand signal with a rather calm look on his face.
"Um, okay? Aren't you going to bring it?"
Kaiser X starts beckoning his adversary and watches as the D-Reaper was starting to get angry. A rather impatient, but very calm and collected form formed across the warrior's face.
Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle Theme" plays
D-Reaper goes charging right for Kaiser X as she let out an angry scream. Kaiser X quickly saw it coming and eludes her. Then he goes and plants a kick into the D-Reaper's face, and then he strikes her downward.
D-Reaper manages to recover from the devastating hits and goes rejoining the fight against the newly fused warrior. She goes and starts pummeling away at Kaiser X with punches and kicks. She then kicks him right down into the ground and follows it up with a gigantic energy blast, which in turn created a large explosion.
D-Reaper looks on with a rather satisfied look on her face and watched as the smoke cloud was starting to clear away. But just as it was dissipating, Kaiser X stands at the very bottom of the crater completely unaffected from the blast.
D-reaper was looking on with a rather astonished look on her face and noticed that her adversary didn't even have a single scratch on him. Now beginning to become very frustrated, D-Reaper stretches her arms downward at Kaiser X and shoots down a barrage of ki blast. Kaiser X was able to elude them and goes charging right up at D-Reaper.
She went to attack advantage as she shoot out her long, stringy hair as if it were a whip to grab Kaiser X by his leg, then starts throwing him around and tosses him into a nearby building debris.
D-reaper looks on as Kaiser X was crashing through some rubble and was about to finish it off, until the fusion warrior blasted right out of the rubble in a flash of light and energy. A grin forms across his face, which only managed to infuriate D-Reaper.
"Ah, well that was a nice warm-up," Kaiser X said, "But now the real fun is about to begin."
"What! Impossible!"
"No. I had to get used to my new body. I was just testing it out."
"Oh yeah? Well I'm just having fun with you myself. I wouldn't want to kill you off too soon. Besides, I'm looking forward to the true ability of your power."
The two warriors stared each other down with the wind blowing right in between them. Kaiser X was looking up from the ground below, while D-Reaper looks right down while hovering in the skies above.
Kaiser X starts off to attack as he goes flying right up towards D-Reaper so fast that not even D-Reaper was able to keep up with his newly acquired speed. She gasped once Kaiser X phased right in front of her. He wrenches his fist back and then delivers a hard right hand into her face. Then he follows it up with several more devastating blows and delivers a kick. Kaiser X forms a white sphere of energy and tosses it right over at D-Reaper.
As soon as that occurred, D-Reaper's damaged body goes dropping down into ground. She looks on with a furious and hurt expression. She was now missing an arm and both of her legs.
"C'mon! I don't have all day! Go and regenerate yourself! Your wasting our precious time, D-Reaper!"
D-Reaper grinned as she began to regenerate her lost limbs and manages to clear all of her bruises and cuts. With that done, D-Reaper was back to her normal self and free of injuries on her body.
Black Gatomon and Mummymon could only look on with great astonishment across their faces. They couldn't believe what was actually happening to the D-Reaper.
"Wow! Just look at them," Black Gatomon said, "Unbelievable. I wasn't even able to keep up with their speed. They moved so fast."
"I know! That guy sure has beaten D-Reaper. Perhaps the first guy I've seen give her a really good fight."
"Believe me. This merged fighter has only shown just a portion of his power. I have a feeling that fighter was just holding back and saving for the rest a little later."
"How can you be sure?"
"Its a synch. C'mon, your a fighter as well, Mummymon. You should know about this type of stuff. I know very little of battle, yet I can make bold predictions."
"Hmmm. This should get interesting after all."
The fight soon began to rage on once again. Now D-Reaper and Kaiser X were starting to fight furiously and were just about evenly matched as it progressed on. They clashed from all around their surroundings and their fighting was creating a large explosion, not to mention a pillar of energy between them.
The two warriors found debris as they both landed far apart from each other. Both glared at each other with great anticipation. D-Reaper broke the silence as she began to speak.
"I see that both Omega X and Metalla X are a lot stronger as a fused fighter than they are individually. This should turn out to be very interesting. You're definitely proving something to me. Now it's time to stop holding back on my power. Because now I shall destroy this warrior."
"Ha! I dare you to try! Show me your full potential power."
D-Reaper glares hatefully over towards Kaiser X, but was unable to detect her opponent's movements. As soon as she turned to look over her shoulder, she was then decked right in the face by an elbow shot from Kaiser X.
Other side of Digital Universe.
Both higher powers were watching the progression of the battle through the crystal orb. Shintomon was looking on with great anticipation and a smile across his face. Gosenzomon and X turned to face the orb and observed the battle taking place. Shintomon looks right up at Gosenzomon and began to speak his opinion on the battle thus far.
"Wow! This is amazing! They're both evenly matched! I can't believe it! Neither one of them is holding back!"
"Really? Do you see that? I suggest you to take a closer look at the battle. Maybe your opinions will change soon after what you see," X replied.
Shintomon took a closer look at the battle and was observing Kaiser X now taking complete control as he started to back D-Reaper right into a corner with a relentless assault. Soon Shintomon's face was filled with optimism.
"A victory in battle is determined by luck," Gosenzomon said, "Don't forget that. But if there will be anybody to defeat the D-Reaper, it will be Kaiser X."
The masked warrior nods in agreement with the elder digimon. Shintomon smirks and then goes watching on and began cheering for Kaiser X.
"That's it! You can do it, Kaiser X! You've got her on the run! Give her a one, two! Give a left and right!"
"Hmph. Kids these days really need to be seriously taught a lesson. I don't see how this fellow can actually be an ancestor of mine. Oh well, I was like him at about his age. So I shouldn't even be complaining."
Gosenzomon sits next to Shintomon and X as they both watched the battle progress on between Kaiser X and the D-Reaper. Both were becoming more visibly satisfied at what they were viewing.
Earth. West Shinjuku
The battle continued to wage on as the tide turned against the D-Reaper into Kaiser X's favor. The fused warrior was pounding away at D-Reaper, landing a lot of good hits at the same time. He then goes and smashes D-Reaper's face with a punch, distorting it and stunning the D-Reaper for a second. However, she was able to maneuver away and recover easily enough. Now the D-Reaper has had enough and was infuriated.
She unleashes out a demonic scream and the muscles on her body were starting to bulge in size. As soon as her muscles started to bulk up, an aura was glowing all around her and her ki was quickly starting to power up. The red aura was now releasing a low, humming sound with bolts of electricity running down her entire body.
"And so it begins…" Kaiser X said as he quickly took a battle pose.
Elsewhere, on the other side of the city, the entire bio-merged megas were looking on in horror as they saw Beelzebumon descending down into the depths of the chaos mass below.
"Beelzebumon! No!" Gallantmon cried out with anguish.
As Beelzebumon was falling, there were bits of his feet starting to become deleted. He was dissolving and falling right into the chaos mass below. Cyberleomon was rushing down in order to catch him.
"Hold on, Beelzebumon! I've got you!"
"Uhhh… I had him where I wanted him…"
"Just don't talk! I'm coming! Don't you dare die on me now!"
"Die… Who said I was… dying?"
"Beelzebumon! You're going to have to fly up! It's the only way out of this predicament! Please, hurry before it's too late!"
"Sorry… fox face… but… it looks like… my time has passed… I get to… rest in peace…"
As soon as he was falling down into the D-Reaper, his body was now completely starting to dissolve away into matter. Cyberleomon boosted his aura and flew down faster than ever.
"Beelzebumon! Try and grab my hand! It will all be over soon!"
Beelzebumon attempted to summon the last of his inner strength to pull himself up and attempts to grab a hold of Cyberleomon. But to no avail as Beelzebumon was dropping down into the mass below. Gallantmon commands Grani to fly out towards the falling demon.
"Beelzebumon! Hang on! We're coming! Cyberleomon, stay on him!"
"I'm doing the best I can, but I still can't seem to reach him. Even if I boost my speed, it will only draw myself within the D-Reaper's chaos mass."
"Damn! Beelzebumon! Can you hear me!" Gallantmon cries out.
"We'll save him!" Sakuyamon exclaimed as she went flying out to grab Beelzebumon.
Elsewhere, Ai and Makoto were watching the television monitor and witnessing Beelzebumon falling with his body quickly starting to dissolve away. They both gasped in utter horror and recognized the winged demon's face. Their instincts were definitely telling them that this digimon was none other than their own Impmon.
"Oh no! That's Impmon!" exclaimed Makoto.
"No! Impmon!"
Sakuyamon fell down as fast as she could but then something started to come out from the D-Reaper mass. It looked like coils of some sorts and they quickly wrapped themselves around Cyberleomon and Gallantmon without warning.
"Ahh! Looks like the D-Reaper was able to detect our kis!" shouted Gallantmon, "Let us go!"
"No! Sakuyamon! It's up to you to rescue Beelzebumon!" exclaimed Cyberleomon.
The golden-clad warrior goes diving down right near Beelzebumon and attempts to grab him, but then coils started popping out from the chaos mass. Sakuyamon summoned her staff and started to lash out against the coils that attempted to snatch her away.
Cyberleomon pulls out his sword and starts slicing through the coils that once wrapped themselves around the brave warrior.
Gallantmon quickly broke free with his sheer strength and positioned himself with Grani right above the chaos mass.
However, no matter how hard they tried to stop the fall, Beelzebumon's fate was quickly sealed as he fells right through the chaos mass below. The bio-merged digimon could only look on with horrified looks on their faces.
"Beelzebumon!" Gallantmon cried out.
"No! This can't be happening! He's gone," Sakuyamon said, under Rika's terrified voice.
"Beelzebumon…"
Mega Gargomon was just as saddened with Henry inside practically looking down in shame. Gallantmon then turns his attention right over towards the D-Reaper chaos mass as he cried out with anger.
"That's it! D-Reaper! This has gone far long enough! We've lost a friend because of you! Now you're going to pay for your damn crimes!" Gallantmon cries out, under Takato's voice.
Just then, Grani goes soaring down into the D-Reaper, which managed to push Gallantmon right off. The bio-merged knight could only look on with sheer shock across his face.
"Grani! What are you doing! Its too late to save him!" Mega Gargomon called out.
However, when everybody was starting to mourn for the loss of the fallen demon lord, Grani came flying right out of the chaos mass with none other than Impmon on his back. The little rookie looked to be out of commission.
"I don't believe it! Impmon!" Sakuyamon cried out, "He's still alive!"
"Thank goodness," said Gallantmon, "He's still alive. Grani! Take Impmon over to Sakuyamon at once. We're going to have to think of a new strategy to fight against the D-Reaper!"
Grani flies right over to Sakuyamon and stops right in front of her, which allowed the golden-clad warrior to snatch Impmon under an arm.
"Thank you, Grani."
With that said, Grani goes flying back over to Gallantmon as the four megas looked down at the D-Reaper chaos mass with sheer hatred across their faces. Gallantmon hopped onto Grani and was starting to think of the perfect plan, which would require a lot of teamwork on their part against the D-Reaper.
Elsewhere, groups of cordless ADR-03s were patrolling a nearby domain. Suddenly, they were interrupted as Silphymon and Stingmon came hovering down onto the ground. The drones turned to face them while nodding their heads in confusion.
"Looks like we've missed some," Stingmon said.
"Doesn't matter. These two don't have cords. Lets take them out."
"Right! So you two wanna dance! How about some dancing lessons! Moon Shooter!"
The insectoid digimon fires away multiple shots over at the bottom of the ground that the two ADRs were hovering above. Silphymon then goes takes advantage of the situation by knocking out the drones with rapid fists of fury.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon phases out of nowhere and stabs right through one drone with his extracted purple blades and watched as it dissolved into particles. Silphymon powering up energy ball in the palm of her hands and fires it right over at the other drone.
"Static Force!"
The energy ball was enough to take out the ADR and quickly disintegrates it under the massive energy ball. Stingmon and Silphymon then turned their attention over Ken.
"Great work! Nicely done, Stingmon. Now, lets not be too hasty. There could be more out there as we speak."
"Um, did you really mean that?" Silphymon asked.
"Yeah why?"
"One problem. We've got company…"
They turned around to see a group of ADR-04s looking towards their direction. Ken pulled back as Stingmon and Silphymon both prepared to face them off. However, there was two massive energy blasts penetrating through the ADRs and the two digimon watched as the whole drone group explode into a mass of particles. Shakkoumon and Rosemon came walking out with Mimi following behind them.
"Mimi!"
"Cody!"
"That should be the last of them," said Mimi, "Hey, where are the others?"
"Last time I heard, they were all over in the eastern section. They're with Justimon as we speak. Should we go out there?" Shakkoumon asked.
"Not yet," Ken said, "Remember, some of these drones can regenerate themselves. So we better be on the look out."
Suddenly, Ken's cell phone started going off and he quickly answered it.
"Yes. Ken Ichijouji here. Izzy? What's happened?"
"Ken! The Kernal sphere is starting to transform for some reason. Takato and the others are still up there as we speak. You guys better head on back. Make sure that everyone of you is together. We can't afford to lose anybody at this very moment. Plus there's something you should see. Its the other entity of the D-Reaper."
"All right, Izzy. We're on our way. This is Ken, signing out."
With that said, he turned off his cell phone and turns his attention back over towards the other Destined.
"Listen up guys. Change in plans. We have to head on back to the headquarters. It seems Izzy wants to show us something."
"But what would be more important than this?" Silphymon asked.
"You'll just have to wait and see. C'mon! We don't have time to lose!" Ken calls out.
The Destined were now heading on back over towards the headquarters where they would catch a break and meet up with Izzy. This left only Garudamon, Antiramon, Guardromon, Justimon and Zudomon to fight off the remaining ADR drones among the streets.
Justimon felt an overwhelming power away from the battlefield and easily picked up the two kis belonging to Kaiser X and D-Reaper. Suddenly, a dark voice spoke to himself through Cyberdramon.
"Yes, I see. So the warriors of courage and friendship managed to merge with one another. Interesting. They ought to be useful, since they will rid me of the D-Reaper. Then, the time of my release will come. It maybe not now, but within the following years to come, I will be released from this imprisonment. I will need more time to rest my energy… He. He."
"Cyberdramon? What did you just say?"
"Um… Ryo! Behind you!"
With that said, Justimon saw an agent going for a sneak attack. But Justimon knew that was coming and sliced off the agent's cord.
"Whew, that was a close one… Thanks, bud."
"Don't mention it."
Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays
Back over on the other side of the city, the other D-Reaper entity was continuing to power up as she was screaming out like never before. They were creams that were terrifying enough to resemble that of the devil himself. She looks on with a rather intensified look on her face with her eyes about to bulge out from the stress being put forth on her own body.
Kaiser X was forced to shield his eyes from the intense light that was coming through. He then looks up and is astonished as to see the D-Reaper. Her arm is up stretched, while holding up a MASSIVE sphere of energy. D-Reaper was grinning triumphantly like never before.
"Listen up, Kaiser X! This one sphere of energy will have enough power to destroy this pathetic human realm! All it has to do is touch the ground and it's all over for you! Humans will now be wiped out clean and then I shall move on back to the digital world to destroy it as well!"
With that said, D-Reaper started to laughing maniacally as Kaiser X glared up from the ground below.
"Hey! What's going on, Black Gatomon! Why is D-Reaper holding out such a bright ball of energy?"
"Well, Mummymon. Its pretty obvious don't you think? We're all going to die after she throws that sphere! That means once this sphere hits the surface, then we're all wiped out clean! Boom! No more! We're yesterday's news! No more earth!"
"Well gee. You didn't have to sound so dramatic about it."
Black Gatomon gasped at the immense size of the sphere and then goes pushing Mummymon aside in order for them to avoid the force of the immense energy emitting around the environment.
"Wow! Those two must have really done a lot of training to fuse into one being," said Black Gatomon, "Other wise, they would have no reason to even perform such a fusion. Two digimon that are able to fuse. Just think of the sheer power that one would possess."
"A lot of power, that's for sure. But will this guy have enough to defeat even the D-Reaper?"
"Who knows, but we'll just have to see and find it what happens. All we have to do is trust in this warrior's abilities."
Mummymon nodded in agreement as he and Black Gatomon shielded their eyes from the immense light that was emitting from the large energy ball.
(End theme)
Still hovering in the skies above, D-Reaper is poised with the apocalyptic sphere of pulsating energy. Now becoming speechless with horror, Black Gatomon and Mummymon stared up into the sky with sheer horror. Would their fates be sealed as a result of this blast? Only time will tell.
Back over at the sheltered headquarters, the Destined had all gathered around as they watched what Izzy was showing them. The view of the battle between Kaiser X and D-Reaper was still waging on.
"Whoa! Who is that fighter facing off against the D-Reaper?" asked Cody.
"That is none other than the fusion of Tai and Matt. Omega X and Metalla X. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Kaiser X, the ultimate fusion warrior! X and Shintomon managed to send me an email just know about this new warrior."
"Ultimate fusion warrior? You mean those two merged into one being?" Yolei said. "That's awesome but how did they do it?"
"According to what Shintomon said, the earrings of the Gosenzo legend foretold of two equally powered rivals who harness the earrings shall merge into one super god. So, what we got here is a super god on our side."
"A super god? So, you think Kaiser X has a chance against the D-Reaper?" asked Ken.
"Perhaps. But we really have to trust in their abilities."
Mimi stood there in shock overhearing the news of her boyfriend back from the dead. But she wasn't sure if she could accept anybody brought back from the after life, especially one from the Digital World, especially Matt.
"Um, Izzy? So are you sure that Matt is only back temporary reasons?"
"Yes. Mimi. Until the Gatekeeper can decide his fate after the battle is won, he will have a choice to either grant Matt his life restored or to spend the rest of his eternal life in digital limbo. So looks like Matt is going to redeem for all of the wrong causes he has committed."
"I see. Which means that we have a chance against this thing. Kaiser X has the D-Reaper beaten," Mimi stated.
"Not exactly. According to the readings, we're getting some energy signals from the other D-Reaper entity. It seems to be generating some sort of power. The coating that was destroyed from the sphere is now regenerating. All we do now is hope that the sphere will die off, which is highly unlikely."
This brought sudden silence to the room, as the Monster Makers and the Wild Bunch were hard at work trying to further investigate the occurrences that were now taking place within the Kernal sphere. The Destined were now watching the battle ensuing between the D-Reaper and Kaiser X.
"Sir! We've got another disruption in the system. There seems to be a large quantity of energy being merged into one massive ball that has enough power from within to cause a worldwide meltdown!"
"No! We can't fail now! Not until since we've gone this far! We were so close!"
"But sir, there's seems to be another surgance of energy along with it. There are two digital life forms on the other side of the city. The energy around their surroundings is enormous and if we zoom in any closer to that pinpointed location, then there will be a failure in the systems."
"All we do can now is hope that blast doesn't even make an impact with the earth. That's the last thing we need. The D-Reaper is desperate if it's going to pull off such an act as this."
D-Reaper laughed maniacally as she continued to power up the massive sphere of energy within the palm of her hand. As soon as she looks right down at her adversary, Kaiser X started to grin confidently.
"So, are you ready to throw it? C'mon, D-Reaper. I don't have all day you know. I've places to be at and people to see."
D-Reaper was starting to become infuriated over what Kaiser X had said and was starting to become annoyed by his self-confidence.
"Look. No offense, well you know what? Screw you! We're not afraid of your power! You're just boasting as always. You're just trying to psych me out!"
"Bullshit!"
D-Reaper growled out with anger and tosses the energy ball right down towards Kaiser X.
"Now die with this planet, Kaiser X! You and every trace of mankind shall be deleted!"
Mummymon and Black Gatomon watched in horror and started to scream out.
However, even with everybody else screaming for their lives, Kaiser X simply stood there not moving an inch. He very calmly faces the oncoming sphere, which was now big and bright as a falling star. It was now drawing nearer and nearer.
The approach of its energy creates a very strong wind in the air. Just at the very last moment, Kaiser X reaches his hands out and catches the immense energy ball. He starts straining against his excessive force with his feet starting to break down into the ground. He then summons every ounce of strength within his body and began to run with the sphere across the ground, rapidly gaining speed and tons of timing and momentum.
Finally with a very strong kick, Kaiser X sends the sphere straight back up into the air and towards the D-Reaper. She quickly manages to phase out of the way, and the sphere goes shooting up through the atmosphere and into the solar system. With that done, it exploded from a very safe distance in a catastrophic blast. The wind from the blast rushes over the two fighters like a massive hurricane, which blew both Mummymon and Black Gatomon away.
After that was all said and one, Kaiser X looked up grinning confidentially over towards the D-Reaper. He goes dashing right up into the air. The two fighters faced each other off at the same level once again.
"Bah! Don't flatter yourself, Kaiser X," D-Reaper replied, "Even after that heroic act, you're still not able to defeat me."
"Oh yeah. Just keep telling yourself that, but now it's time, D-Reaper. Time for me to show you what true power is really like. Allow me to demonstrate."
Kaiser X starts howling out with anger as he began summoning up his strength from within. The anger of Omega X and the pride of Metalla X all put together to release one blast of raging energy. Then with one loud scream, Kaiser X forms a bright golden aura all over their body. The ground around him started to shatter with bolts of electricity showering down like never before.
D-Reaper looks on with an astonished look on her face and looked across at the aura-contained Kaiser X. The fused warrior looks right over at her with a confident smirk on his face and his eyes sporting a new, neon green color.
"If Kaiser X wasn't enough to defeat you… Then feast you're eyes on the one and only, Super Kaiser X!"
Black Gatomon searches frantically for the now missing Mummymon. He began to scurry across the fallen debris and digs her way through under to find his comrade, but to no avail. There was no trace of Mummymon to be found.
"I wonder where the heck is he! Mummymon! Can you hear me! Mummymon!"
Black Gatomon was now beginning to fear for the worst as she began to believe that Mummymon was destroyed as a result of the apocalyptic sphere that D-reaper had previously created a little earlier ago.
"Mummymon! Where are you! Answer me! You have got to be still alive!"
Black Gatomon then overhears low groans coming from some fallen rubble nearby. He goes rushing over to the left side and started to claw his way through several rocks and boulders. He used his Lightning Claw technique to make his digging search a lot more efficient in finding Mummymon.
"Mummymon! Are you in there! Mummymon!"
Suddenly, Black Gatomon goes jumping back as he gazed to see a yellow eye appearing out from the darkness. Mummymon slowly rises from under the pile of rubble and looks right over Black Gatomon.
"Aww, and I was having such a wonderful dream… Oh Arukenimon, you sexy spider…"
"Never mind that! The battle is still going on Dee looks pretty pissed as we speak."
"What? It's still going on? I better check this out for myself."
The two looked up and saw the two fighters facing each other in what seemed to be a long stare down. Mummymon looked on over to D-Reaper and then over towards the glowing Kaiser X.
"He's… He's… He's glowing… Just like those warriors back from the War Games…"
D-Reaper was starting to laugh manically while staring right down at her adversary with a rather confident smirk on her face. She didn't even seem too intimidated by Kaiser X's new ascended level form.
"You might have gotten stronger, but I have absorbed the power of Mystic Celesta and War Dramon! Not to mention the knowledge of Buddamon. How can you comprehend my status? I've gained the power of a god."
"It's all about quality not quantity my friend. You only had to absorb our friends to gain you're power."
"Your glowing just like the rest of them! What is that, some form of light that helps guide you? You fighters must be gluttoning for punishment. You will fall just like the other heroes of light."
"True, but you fail to realize something. The power of the Gosen fusion is greater than anything that you could ever comprehend. Allow me to demonstrate. First, all I need for you to do is attack me with anything you got."
"Fine, if that's the way you want it! Maybe, I'll find a way to finally shut your big mouth up after this is all said and done!"
Dragonball Z "Battle Theme" plays
D-Reaper charges up and goes flying right over towards the glowing warrior. As soon as she approaches him, D-Reaper starts attacking him head on with a fury of kicks and punches. But Kaiser X was easily able to dodge every single of her attacks effortlessly.
D-Reaper retreats away into the distance and fires an energy blast right at the warrior's back, but Kaiser X easily turns and strikes it back at her. D-Reaper looks on in astonishment and narrowly dodges it, as the blast streaks right past the tip of her head. Kaiser X charges and kicks her in the face. This results in D-Reaper actually bleeding from her nose. The fused warrior started taunting her.
"Damn you! I'm going to kill you for breaking my nose! I had that nose well constructed! I'll make you pay for ruining my face!"
With that threat being said, D-Reaper takes advantage and strikes Kaiser X down into the park pond below. She then follows it up by firing a barrage of ki blasts down into the water below. Mummymon and Black Gatomon watch in alarm over the turn of events.
D-Reaper goes landing on the rocks near the lake and watches it surface of it started to calm. However, that was short-lied, as the water started to light up. Kaiser X goes bursting out from the water. He was seemingly unharmed.
"D-Reaper. I'm disappointed in you. I thought you would actually give us something worth to fight about. But you didn't even leave a single damn scratch on me. Too bad."
"No! I had you! You were supposed to be dead after those shots! Nobody could have survived that!"
"Ah, but I did."
D-Reaper was becoming visibly pissed as ever as Kaiser X simply gave her another confident smirk. Then he extends an arm with water splashing all around him, as if he were some sort of digital magnet. He was now about to perform Metalla X's attack.
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
D-Reaper looked on and didn't have any time to react as the icy beam that manages to engulf the entire area that was she standing on incinerates her.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon looked on as they cheered, until Mummymon was smacked right in the head by flying rock debris.
The blast manages to soar upward through the atmosphere and continues off from the Earth. It went shooting right out into the depths of space itself.
Back onto earth, all that was left of the D-Reaper was tiny globs of chaos mass. But then they started slithering up towards each other and quickly take back into the form of the D-Reaper once again. As soon as she reformed, D-Reaper was breathing heavily and looked extremely pissed off beyond belief. Her eyes were now a fuming red instead of their misty, purple hue. Steam goes shooting out of her head and arms. A cloud that managed to cover her entire body now covers her. She started laughing evilly as her form was now gone. However, Kaiser X was able to keep up with the D-Reaper through her own laughter.
"Ha! You can't find me now, warrior! There's no possible way for you to locate me by the naked eye nor can you sense my presence. Face it, you're fighting blind here!"
However, Kaiser X wouldn't take this laying down and goes lunging forth the mist itself. He started attacking relentlessly and was able to find the near-invisible enemy. D-Reaper goes retreating with a rather bruised up body.
"Idiot! Remember, I don't have to locate you by sight alone. I can simply sense your ki and believe me, you've got plenty of it. There's no way for you to hide it."
Taken back by this revelation, D-Reaper goes charging forth at Kaiser X and furiously starts attacking once again. But with the tremendous of ease, Kaiser X kicks her right in the face. D-Reaper then went to kick him in retaliation, but Kaiser X easily catches her leg and spins her around. As soon as he released her, Kaiser X sent D-Reaper hurtling down into the ground below.
Kaiser X looks down at the fallen beast with a smirk. Now the smoke was clearing up from which D-Reaper has fallen.
"Battle Theme" fades
Other part of the Digital Universe.
Shintomon was looking on at the progression of the battle taking place between Kaiser X and D-Reaper. He looks up with a look of confidence.
"Wow, what a power! Those Gosen earrings really did the trick. I'm impressed," said Shintomon, "I can't believe I was foolish in not knowing of these legendary items."
"Correction, Shintomon," Gosenzomon replied. "X, you need to inform this wiper snapper about the Gosen earrings' secrets."
"Right. Listen, Shintomon. It is not the power of the earrings that is bringing forth the power. No, it's the combined power of both Metalla X and Omega X. These are two of the strongest rivals in the Digital Universe. Which in turn, accounts for the incredible strength of Kaiser X," X replied.
"Is that so! Either way, it's so good to finally see someone pummel the D-Reaper as if she were a punching bag! Don't hesitate, guys! This is our chance of victory! Go in for the kill!"
Earth. Ruins of West Shinjuku
Kaiser X was still hovering in the darkened skies above and with one snap of his fingers; a bright golden aura was surrounding him. He then places forth his hand and shoots out a ki blast into the rubble where the D-Reaper had landed. The blast managed to impale D-Reaper and lifts her right into the air.
Back on the other side of the city, the three bio-merged megas were still looking out over at the Kernal sphere with great interest. It had seemed unchanged ever since Gallantmon's and Beelzebumon's earlier attack on it.
"Gallantmon? What do you think? The sphere seems weakened enough," Sakuyamon said.
"No. I still feel it's dark presence. Remember, the other D-Reaper entity is still as strong as ever."
"There's another power fighting against the D-Reaper," Cyberleomon said, "I can recognize both of these powers."
"Huh? But who would be strong enough to double team against the D-Reaper?" asked Mega Gargomon, under Terriermon's voice. "Did Celesta X fail?"
"Yes. As a matter of fact, he did. War Angemon, Imperialdramon, Mystic Celesta and Buddamon have all been absorbed by the D-Reaper. But the two warriors fighting the D-Reaper now are… Omega X and Metalla X."
Everybody gasped in shock after hearing the mention of the name 'Metalla X'. Sakuyamon was just as surprised as anyone.
"But that's impossible! He's dead! Matt died in that explosion! I even saw the explosion and heard his screams. How could he have been brought back to life!" Sakuyamon asked, with Rika's voice speaking out.
"I don't know for sure, but I have a good feeling the Gatekeeper of the Digital Worlds has something to do with it. He probably gave Metalla X another chance to redeem his actions in the past," replied Cyberleomon, "But he shouldn't be given another chance since he's already died before."
"Huh? Since when did Matt die once?" asked Gallantmon.
"I remember it as if it were yesterday. It happened many years ago when the Digi-Destined and I battled Burizalor…"
Flashback
Burizalor stood listening to Matt's senseless babbling. He couldn't take it anymore and shot out a beam and sent it straight at Matt. The beam went right through Matt's crest and chest. Blood came spewing out as soon as the beam penetrated through his chest. The crest shattered into pieces along with the tag.
The other Digi-Destined gasped in fear at what just transpired. Matt has fallen victim to Burizalor's onslaught.
Tai watched on in horror and watched as his best friend was slowly dying. He ran up to him. This infuriated War Greymon even more.
"What the hell is your deal, Burizalor! He was too weak to even attack."
"It was the only way to shut his damn mouth."
"You're going to regret that!"
"Matt," TK cried as he ran up to his brother.
Tai and TK crowded around the fallen Matt. TK covered his eyes at what he saw. There was a large hole in Matt's chest, but Matt was strong enough to hold back on the pain.
"TK. Stay back," Tai ordered and wanted to make sure that the little boy would not see the damage inflicted on Matt. "Matt. It's going to be okay, buddy. Oh man. You're bleeding to death. Just hang it in there, dude."
Matt slowly nodded his head and looked up at Tai. Tears came running down his face.
"Tai… I'm sorry…"
"Huh, why?"
"I was such a fool… I tried to… be… a good leader just… like you, but I… wasn't able to succeed… Metal Garurumon and I… tried our… best… to hold him… off…"
"You did best that you could, Matt. You're a proud member of the Digi-Destined. You did the right thing. You know, I always thought you were just some egomaniac looking to take my spot by force. But you really proved to be a true leader with me being absent."
"No… Tai… I… failed… I don't deserve the crest of friendship… As you can see… I'm dying… I underestimated Burizalor's power…"
"We didn't expect this creep to have this large amount of power either but he showed it to us and now its time we put him in his place."
"TK… thinks… I'm a horrible, big… brother… Sora hates me…"
"Don't say that, dude. Man, I don't know why you're being so negative? Look, you did me a favor and you did yourself a favor. TK is proud to have you as his elder brother. You and Metal Garurumon protected him. You protected Sora."
"Yes… but… Joe and Izzy are injured… all because of my irresponsibility."
"It's not you're fault. As you can see, they're fine and recovering. So why don't you get all that negativity out of your system and fight the pain. Maybe the last amount of power of your crest should help."
"No… it's wasted just like myself… Just look at Burizalor, Tai… Look at him… He enjoys inflicting pain… He loves seeing… others in pain… He…thrives on killing… He's proud of it… Tai… You and War Greymon… are our only hopes… You two… must defeat… Burizalor, before he gains a grasp of the Digital Universe…"
With that being said, Matt let out his last breath and closed his eyes. His body stopped quivering and he died. Tai kneeled over his body and a few teardrops were coming down his face. TK looked over his brother and started to let out more tears.
End of Flashback
After Cyberleomon had said it all, the bio-merged megas could only listen with saddened looks on their faces. Rika tried so hard not to shed a tear, but couldn't help but feel bad for calling Matt a jerk. Neither one of the Tamers never really knew how much Matt appreciated his own brother.
"Now that D-Reaper has already absorbed Takeru, Matt and Tai will do everything that they can do as Kaiser X to defeat the D-Reaper and release their friends from that monster's grasp."
"Now I see what Leomon meant about Matt. Wait, that's not true. I can also remember when what he last did before making the sacrificial action. If he was a jerk as I would like to call him, he wouldn't have given up his own way just to save all of us."
"Sakuyamon? Are you okay?" Gallantmon asked, under Takato's voice.
"I'm fine. Just thinking of what Matt did for each and everyone of us."
"What he done was heroic. I could have done that myself," Gallantmon said.
"No. There's no way we could have lost you, Takato. Your vital to the team."
"I see. So you do really care…"
"Well… Let's not get carried away, but I'll be the first to admit it. You guys are the best friends I have ever had. We have gone through thick and thin in watching each other's backs. Especially you, Takato."
"Yeah, well… I… What!"
"Just admit. We've saved each other countless of times."
"Okay. You're right about that."
"Good. I'm glad you've admitted it. Takato, after this battle is over, I've got something to tell you.."
"And that would be…"
Sakuyamon turns the other way as she looked right over towards the Kernal sphere as she quickly looked back to when Metalla X had given up his life to stop the D-Reaper.
"Takato. Don't worry, you'll know in due time… but we must first beat the D-Reaper in order to do so. That's if we are alive by them…"
Flashback
Without even making eye contact with TK, Metalla X began to speak, which shattered the moment of silence.
"TK. I want you to take good care of Mimi and my son, do you hear me?"
War Angemon looks over towards him with a look of concern and confusion.
"Huh?"
Metalla X looks away from the sky off towards D-Reaper. A grin forms across his face. War Angemon was very confused and did not understand why his brother was saying this.
Elsewhere, both Tai and Kari were both laid out with their respective digimon at their sides. This was a sign that they were already taken out of commission. Metalla X had knocked out Tai in their fated battle and Kari was taken out of the fight by the D-Reaper.
"Why did you just say that? Where are you going? Why do you want me to take care of Mimi and Dimitri?"
"You should get away from here as soon as possible, TK."
War Angemon was shocked by hearing this and looks over to see that Metalla X wasn't even making eye contact with him.
"I want to fight D-Reaper myself."
War Angemon was caught by surprise by what his brother had just said and gasped.
"You're not serious! Let me fight with you, Matt! With us brothers united, we can bring down this enemy. If you fight by yourself, it's going to kill you. If we attack together, we can defeat it."
"It's no good. No matter how many of us attack it, we'll lose if we fight normally."
"But if we attack together, we can beat him! This isn't like you, Matt. Why are you acting so weak? You always have been able to act important in the past. Why not now?"
"TK. I never really treated you like a real baby brother. I barely even noticed you and always tried to a really good big brother."
After a long pause, Metalla X turns to face War Angemon and extends his hand out.
"Let us give each other a brotherly hug, like old times."
War Angemon shrinks back in surprise. Metalla X slowly walks up towards him and embraces his younger brother.
"Matt? What are you doing, Matt? Are you serious? Stop it, you're embarrassing me."
Metalla X remains silent, simply staring down at his younger brother. Everyone remains still for a few moments, with the others simply watching as the two brothers embrace for the first time in many, many years. Finally, a smile comes across the face of Metalla X.
"Take care of yourself, Takeru. And take over after me…"
War Angemon looks right up at him in shock, but then Metalla X pulls back his right hand and delivers a chop to the back of War Angemon's head that delivered an echoing sound throughout the landscape. War Angemon grunts and falls over, as he de-evolved back into TK and Patamon.
A healthy metallic blue aura flows around Metalla X, throwing up dust all around him and causing some boulders to crumble. D-Reaper looks over with a sadistic smirk coming across her face.
"What shall I do with you? Kill you the fast and less painful way? Or the slow and painful death? It's your choice. You will be deleted no matter what you choose."
"Ha! I'm going to blow you up into so many little pieces that you'll never be able to regenerate!"
Just then, D-Reaper's eyes widened in shock while looking down at her hands and then back to Metalla X. A grin forms across the fusion warrior's face.
"TK… Mimi… Dimitri. Digi-Destined. Tamers. Farewell. This one's for you. Oh and especially for you too, Tai."
Metalla X quickly looks away as D-Reaper gasps in shock at what was now about to transpire. Metalla X activates his self-destruction mechanism as he hunches over, groans for a moment as he prepares himself, then throws his head back, screaming. A massive dome of golden light expands out from within him, throwing up dust and debris. His scream fades away as the explosion continues to expand even more. Clouds quickly part away as D-Reaper screams while getting hit by the incredible amount of ki. Metalla X continues screaming and gets engulfed by the massive force of light.
End of Flashback
Sakuyamon sighed as she looked back at those thoughts and was now beginning to have a different view on matt as a much completely different person.
"He did that out of the love he had for his girlfriend, his son and his own brother. Matt, lets just hope you and Tai get the job done and defeat the D-Reaper."
Gallantmon looks right over towards Sakuyamon with a rather saddened look and goes hovering towards her while riding Grani.
"Sakuyamon…"
They both looked on towards the Kernal sphere as they waited in anticipation for the defeat of the other D-Reaper entity to be defeated. But little did they realize that the sphere was slowly starting to regenerate after suffering the heavy damage inflicted by two attacks from Gallantmon and Beelzebumon earlier ago.
Mega Gargomon and Cyberleomon hovered from behind and watched the other two bio-merged megas standing side by side. They turned their attention over towards the other side of the city to pick up any ki readings from Kaiser X and the D-Reaper.
"Kaiser X…" Cyberleomon said under his breath.
Right on the other side of the city, the battle between the two super powers was waging on like never before. Kaiser X began taunting the D-Reaper, who was now hanging upside down and impaled from the energy blast.
"Ahhh, did poor little D-Reaper get a boo-boo? Ahhh. That's too damn bad! That's for all the pain and suffering that you've inflicted on the people of the two worlds. You're going to pay for your miserable crimes. In other words, you've become my personal bitch."
The D-Reaper was quickly regaining back power as she started to get angrier and angrier every second that passes by. The D-Reaper rights herself up and pulls herself free from the beam. She then heals her injuries and the hole embedded in her chest. He looks right over at Kaiser X and was starting to fume with rage from the inside.
"So, this mere digital being dares to laugh at my face! A digital being laugh in the face of the single most destructive force in the digital world! The single most destructive force in two worlds! No, of three worlds! No! Of many worlds in existence! No! The entire digital universe! That does it!"
As soon as she screamed out her venting frustrations, she quickly transformed herself into a form of taffy and goes shooting herself right into the mouth of Kaiser X. The fused warrior was quickly taken back by this and starts feeling D-Reaper entering from within.
Kaiser X's body started to bulge until the D-Reaper was completely inside.
"Ha! Ha! Yes! I'm going to destroy you from the inside, Kaiser X! Maybe this will enable me to secure a victory and load your data! I'm sure that will be refreshing for me! Now prepare to die, warrior!"
Kaiser X seemed really unsure of what to do and was starting to panic, but then a calm, confident look came across his face once again. The fused warrior started powering up, with his body surrounded by streaks of electricity, and slowly the bulging was fading away. But then, a bugle started to appear on his shoulder and he goes over to punch it. Then the bulging started to move around in other places on his body and he goes hitting it wherever it pops up. Kaiser X was basically playing mole bashing with his fists. The mole would be the D-Reaper.
D-Reaper goes moving into his back and, at the same time, was dragging Kaiser X along with her down into some nearby rocks. The fused warrior manages to sit up and the voice from within his back speaks up.
"What! Why can't you move anymore! I had you! You're supposed to be begging for mercy right about now!"
"Easy. I stopped your movements. There is nothing you can do as long as you're inside of me, D-Reaper. Transaction cancelled."
With that said, D-Reaper goes bursting from out of the warrior's mouth and lands right in front of him. D-Reaper clearly had a frustrated and angry look on her face, but just as Kaiser X was smirking, it only managed to infuriate D-Reaper
"I'm clearly disappointed in you D-Reaper. I've expected a challenge and all I've gotten was a joke. You're not a threat. You're pussy moves can't even make their mark on me."
As soon as he said that, D-Reaper clenched her teeth down in furious anger and there were streaks of electricity surrounding her body at the moment. Then a burst of ki managed to send Kaiser X flying backwards.
D-Reaper was unable to contain her anger at the way that Kaiser X was mocking her. She couldn't stand such vulgar remarks and was going into a deep world of furious anger like nobody has ever seen before. Her eyes started to glow a full crimson hue while the sky was turning completely dark, with flashes of lightning striking down from the clouds.
Black Gatomon and Mummymon looked on at what they were watching. It looked like something was tearing up from the skies above. Their frightened looks turned to that of horrified glares as soon as the dimensional fabric in the skies above were starting to tear away.
Kaiser X was shocked like never before at the dimensional fabrics slowly being torn away. There was no godly power that could have this, but the D-Reaper was sure proving that at this very moment.
The area surrounding D-Reaper was now starting to tear away, which meant bad news as far as earth was concerned. This could cause another dimension to spill over into the human realm. The digital world could very well pill into the real world causing a disruption in the dimensional order. D-Reaper screams out with unbounded rage, and ruptures start appearing in the clouds above her.
Kaiser X realizes the danger that was soon coming forth and goes charging to stop the D-Reaper. But a spherical shield of energy was starting to surround the D-Reaper. Kaiser X manages to strain against its massive force.
Back over at the other side, the bio-merged megas were feeling the same effect and looked right over to see the dimensional rift about to be ripped apart by the D-Reaper.
"My god! Is that the D-Reaper that I'm sensing?" asked Mega Gargomon. "Well it ain't the Easter bunny!"
"What a horrifying power! I just hope Kaiser X knows what he's doing!" Gallantmon said.
Impmon was soon starting to come about as he slowly opened his eyes and realizes that he was in the arms of Sakuyamon.
"The dimensional rift is about to be taken apart! If D-Reaper is successful, then she could very well destroy all of time and space! Alternate dimensions will start entering this world and destroy us!"
The four warriors started to strain against the powerful gusts of wind that was rushing right by them. Gallantmon was able to hold his own with Grani able to break through its excessive force.
Even at the shelter, everyone was panicking. The Monster Makers and the Wild Bunch were horrified as their systems went down as a result of the excessive force of the dimensional rift being torn apart by D-Reaper's excessive force.
"My god! This is the D-Reaper's doing! If she succeeds in ripping a hole into the digital worlds, then the whole balance of every dimension will be thrown out of track! This is the last thing we need!"
The Destined and their digimon all stood by while taking cover from the excessive winds and earthquakes occurring.
The other digimon that were battling the last of the ADR armies felt the excessive force of the dimensional rifts being torn apart.
"Garudamon? What is that! What's causing all of this strong winds?"
"Its the D-Reaper! She's responsible for this!"
Justimon looked over, which really started to catch Cyberdramon's attention.
"No! I'm counting on the one to destroy the D-Reaper. I need D-Reaper out of my way!"
"Cyberdramon, did you just say something again?"
"Um, what is that energy I'm picking up!"
"Something tells me this won't be pretty."
Yugi looks on towards the skies and his spirit starts feeling the dark presence of the D-Reaper.
"Yami! It seems this enemy is attempting to destroy time and space! That will throw everything in place!"
"Yes, Yugi. All we can do now is pray that something stops this chaos. If the three Egyptian monsters going into the hands of evil was bad enough, this will not only destroy earth but the entire galaxy."
"No! C'mon, let there be a miracle!"
Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus watched the sudden events unfold, while taking shelter from the large gust of hurricanes.
"Uranus! This is what we feared!"
"Time and space is being disrupted! Not even we can fight an enemy like this. We better let a savior save us all."
"Miracle is what we need now…"
Everyone from the entire world felt the powerful force coming from the small dimensional tear. Worldwide natural disasters were becoming increasingly common as a result, which didn't suit well for every human living on the planet. The same could be said for the two digital worlds.
Even the four sets of sovereigns were feeling the disruptions and started to fear for the power of the D-Reaper was like none other.
Kaiser X was straining against the excessive force with his fist. Then with one last ounce of strength, he finally succeeds in breaking through and punches D-Reaper in the face. This eventually sends her down into the water below. The damage in the dimensional fabric was now starting to vanish, a good sigh of letting him know that everything was safe and secure. The darkness was quickly replaced as the light returned back.
Suddenly, D-Reaper's head emerges from the lake below and she had quite a look of bewilderment. Kaiser X looks down right at her from above and speaks up.
"You have an incredible power. I'll give you that, D-Reaper. But what you fail to realize is this: in order to win this battle, you have to defeat the enemy and not destroy an entire dimension. That is no way to fight!"
D-Reaper growled and goes hovering up into the skies as she faced off against the fused warrior. Now they were prepared to face each other off in another round of all out strength and power.
Whoa! That was a close one! If D-Reaper had succeed with that dimension destroyer, and everything would have been lost! Way to nail it to her, Kaiser X! Now the two super warriors prepare to go for another round of hard-hitting action. But who will come out on top between this clash of the titans?

D-Reaper: Damn it! Damn it! Why can't I hit you!
Kaiser X: Let's face it. You're washed up, D-Reaper. You're old news. I've seen horrible movies scarier than you are.
D-Reaper: Name one!
Kaiser X: Gigil. Now that's a bad movie!
D-Reaper: Are you implying that movie is scarier than I am?
Kaiser X: Yep, it was that bad.
D-Reaper: Curse you! But, I have plans for you. I don't always go out without a trump card! You'll become apart of me!
Shintomon: No! D-Reaper has absorbed Kaiser X!
Gosenzomon: We're screwed…
Kaiser X: Not likely. Now we can rescue our friends this way… Ah!

Kaiser X's Secret Plan! Enter the Horrors Within the D-Reaper!
Earth. West Shinjuku.
The Digi-Destined and the others were looking on through Izzy's laptop as the battle progressed on. The Destined were now having calm looks on their faces. Izzy and Tentomon watched as Kaiser X was taking the advantage of the battle and turning D-Reaper's level of offense against her.
"My… My god! The power of Kaiser X is awesome!" exclaimed Ken, "I never would have never thought that both Tai and Matt would have merged into such a being!"
"The D-Reaper hasn't even landed a good hit on him yet," said Yolei, "I think we have this one won by default! There's no way that the D-Reaper will win."
Izzy didn't reply to their cries of anticipation and concentrated on the actual battle himself, with his eyes locked on.
"Izzy? What's the matter? You seem so tense. Chill out," Tentomon said, "We should be fine, right?"
"You may have a point. But lets not be too hasty here. The battle is far from over. D-Reaper would have been dead by now. I don't understand why Kaiser X won't just finish her off."
"What? But why hasn't he finished the D-Reaper off? I thought that would have been his main agenda. He doesn't have time for this! He has to end it now," Cody exclaimed.
"I don't know why. But my assumption is that Kaiser X is craving for a challenge from the D-Reaper. But everything she has delivered, they have managed to overcome it. Their pride of being the best has gone straight to their heads! If they don't act soon and end the battle, it could very well lead to their biggest mistake."
The entire room gasped at Izzy's revelation and they continued to watch on the battle with sheer anticipation. Their gasps were now quickly silenced as they watched Kaiser X about to make his next move.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Ruins of West Shinjuku
Back on the battlefield, the winds were blowing away with great force and the skies were just as blue as ever even after a dimensional fabric was torn apart earlier ago by D-Reaper's power.
The enemy known as the D-Reaper was looking across the devastated landscape. She was catching her breath while regaining her senses. She then growls and stares right up at her adversary with sheer hatred. The proud fusion warrior simply smirked as he began to goad once again.
"C'mon, D-Reaper! Don't just stand there all day like a damn retard! Come on and attack us if you dare!"
D-Reaper quickly responds to the warrior's calls and then with one sudden movement. She moved across so fast that only a streak she was creating was now surfacing across the lake water below. Within an instant, she was right in front of Kaiser X. But the fusion warrior was able to raise his arms to block her punch. D-Reaper once again began to assault the fusion warrior head on, but Kaiser X is easily able to block and dodge every blow being thrown at him.
He goes and kicks her right in the stomach and punches her square in the face, then grabs the long hair on D-Reaper's head as he began falling away. He then fires a ki blast at the D-Reaper. D-reaper stretches herself out long and goes springing right back towards Kaiser X, as she goes wrapping herself around the fusion warrior as if she were a constrictor snake.
With that done, she goes and puts the painful squeeze right on Kaiser X, but he was able to break free effortlessly. As a result, he goes and tears himself right through D-Reaper and tears her into tiny little pieces. The pieces were able to quickly piece each other back together and resembled themselves into D-Reaper once again. Kaiser X was not holding out a piece of D-Reaper's long, stringy hair.
"Hey! Give me my hair back! That makes up the pinnacle of my beauty!"
"Sure! Here you go catch!"
Kaiser X tosses the piece of hair right over to the waiting arms of the D-Reaper, but then a blast came out of nowhere and disintegrated the piece of hair as if it were obsolete garbage. D-Reaper looks on with a horrified look on her face.
"And next time, it's going to be that ugly mug on your face! You sick freak!"
"Damn you! That was the pinnacle of my beauty! Now you will pay for that!"
D-Reaper clenches her fists and screams out angrily as the missing hair appendage was quickly regenerated. She sighed in relief and tied her hair back.
***************************************************************************************
Outside of the Digital Universe
The three higher powers were looking on with great determination as the battle progressed through their viewing orb. X was looking on with concern.
"This is unbelievable! I can't believe that Kaiser X is actually holding back his true power," Shintomon said with enthusiasm. "But if he doesn't kill D-Reaper soon, then that monster will just try to find a way to break that dimensional barrier again! That's the last thing we need right now!"
"I agree, Shintomon. However, I do believe that this warrior has a plan. Otherwise, they are simply just signing the death warrant of the three worlds," replied Gosenzomon.
"That's easier said than done," X replied. "It's Matt's character that's triggering Kaiser X's arrogance. I know Tai gets cocky at times, but this is definitely Matt's doing."
"Then, he's going to be the one responsible for the planet's destruction. We just had to use him!" Gosenozomon exclaimed.
"There was no alternative. You said yourself this fusion works best with the fusion of rivals," the masked fighter replied. "Just be glad we were able to regain Matt. Even if it's only for a twenty-four hour period, let us put faith into Kaiser X."
The three agreed with a nod and continued to view the godly battle between the universes' mightiest.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Ruins of West Shinjuku
The monster was starting to shake with rage and was now becoming more and more frustrated that her enemy has become more powerful than she was at the moment.
"Damn him! How is he so powerful?! I'm supposed to be the strongest warrior of the three worlds?! I don't understand this! The analyzing I scanned from this being read as another useless life form needed to be deleted! But yet, he's pounding me as if I were nothing!"
She had now quickly ran out of ideas and tried every single attack within her being. There was nothing left to do. D-Reaper starts powering up as her body quickly started to bulk up. She went on and used War Dramon's Ghost Kamikaze technique. She goes shooting five ghosts. The ghosts looked exactly like her but were white and ghostly instead.
"Ah! I recognize that technique! That's War Dramon's attack," Kaiser X said under his breath.
"Ha! Ha! What do you think now, Kaiser X?! I bet you're familiar with this technique! I am using one of War Dramon's attacks! Just think! Your own sibling's attack power! Ha! Ha! Isn't it just ironic, you'll be killed by your own family members!"
The ghosts were chattering satanically as they started to ascend upon Kaiser X. However, the fusion warrior was ready for them as he started dashing rapidly out of the way from their path. He then fires a ki-blast from his finger and aims for each of the five ghosts. Each of the ghosts was easily blown up from the blasts. Kaiser X turns his attention over to D-Reaper and chuckled with confidence.
"Just look at you! You claim to be the single most destructive force of the three worlds, but yet you had to resort to a mere child's technique! You pussy!"
D-Reaper growls angrily and goes spitting out ten ghost clones. Kaiser X easily saw them coming and merely smirked.
"It won't make a difference to us, D-Reaper. It doesn't matter how many you send down. We will just blast them all down."
The ghosts all starting to descend upon Kaiser X and the fusion warrior was prepared to attack them. He sends several blasts out and manages to take out five of them. He turns his attention over to the other five ghosts. He goes cupping his hands back and an energy ball was forming at the palms.
"TERRA-"
But just as he was about to blast them, they all flew off course from his direction. They all stood right in front of him. They cupped their cups together and then unleashed a force of five massive Terra Beams at him. They all went streaking right towards him. Kaiser X Stands there as he went to elude all five Terra Beams, streaking his way. But the blasts continued their pursuit on Kaiser X, with each of the ghosts controlling their movements.
Kaiser X looks down at the ground and noticed a large gorge. He phases out with instant speed and appears right down which allowed the streaks of light to shower down upon the entire landscape. Suddenly, three ghosts appeared right in front of him and shot out three separate Holy Beams. Kaiser X stops short. The three remaining Terra Beams are still streaking down from behind them, but he has no time to get out of the way. With that said, a massive explosion ensues, vaporizing rocks and causing dark smoke to lift up into the air above.
D-Reaper looks on with sheer satisfaction and began to laugh victoriously.
"Ha! Ha! Well, it looks like that mere child's technique worked after all. It was nice knowing you Kaiser X, but now its time to move on. I'll continue by destroying all life on this pathetic planet you call earth."
Suddenly, her once malevolent grin quickly fades away from her face, and she stares intently looks down into the smoke cloud below. Suddenly, a blast from behind her decapitates her. Hovering from behind her was none other than Kaiser X, completely unharmed. Soon, the fragments on D-Reaper's head were reformed into a group of heads. They all spoke in unison over at the fusion warrior.
"You must have used Time Warp to move away out of those blasts, didn't you? I already know that secret. There would have be no way for you to have escaped without such a technique. Only a few digital beings harness that ability."
"Wow, you're pretty quick. You seem to know a lot about me, jackass. After all, you did gain knowledge from the Digi-Destined you absorbed into your body," Kaiser X said. "Oh and by the way. That child's technique is still what I call, a mere child's play toy. C'mon, you're not even taking this all too seriously! Its time to get serious."
Each of the multiple D-Reaper heads goes flying back and merged together back into the single head that was quickly attached back onto D-Reaper's body. She quickly shot the warrior a murderous glare as if she were ready to kill him at any given moment.
***************************************************************************************
Planet Shin
Shintomon and Gosenzomon were watching on the entire battle that was still progressing on. They both looked rather disturbed at the moment, as if the battle were already bothering them.
"Grr! I'm so sick of Kaiser X just merely toying around with D-Reaper! This isn't some sick game! What is the meaning of this?!" Gosenzomon exclaimed angrily.
"I don't understand this. I hope they realize what they're really doing. The three worlds are on their shoulders. If they fail, then human kind will become another extinct species…"
The two higher powers looked on as they were now hoping and praying for their ultimate fusion warrior to overcome the monster and defeat the D-Reaper to secure the safety of the three worlds. One world has been killed off, but only two more were left. Earth was now endangered as far as everyone was concerned.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Ruins of West Shinjuku
[Dragonball Z Japanese "Battle theme" plays]
D-Reaper cried and goes lunging right for Kaiser X. But Kaiser X was easily able to elude her. They go dashing around the devastated landscape and sensed no life forms around to interfere with their ongoing battle.
Kaiser X was seemingly always one step ahead of the D-Reaper at every single point. He goes and lands several good blows into the monster that managed to rock her back hard.
"Why don't you try to trace every single movement of my ki, D-Reaper? C'mon, just give it a try. We dare ya!"
This taunt only managed to anger the D-Reaper even further as she goes flying forward at Kaiser X and began to throw out several furious punches. The fusion warrior was easily able to dodge and counter every punch being thrown at her.
"Shit! Shit! How can this be fair?! Two digital beings fusing together into one powerful warrior?! I don't recall that being fair at all! "
"Ah, but you forget D-Reaper. You were able to absorb Kari, TK, Davis and Buddamon. I think you should be the one to realize what's fair. You're not playing a fair game yourself either."
With that said, Kaiser X goes and continued his taunts. As soon as he got done blocking out with his fists, Kaiser X laid back and used only his feet to block out every single punch that the D-Reaper was throwing at him. It was obvious that Kaiser X was toying around with her and not even taking her threats seriously.
The monster looks on enraged and quickly started to power up. She goes and fires a large energy blast at a very close range, but Kaiser X quickly spins around and delivers a simple kick to it. He goes and watches as the blast goes flying over towards the other side of the landscape. A massive explosion occurred as Kaiser X turns his attention right back over towards the D-Reaper.
With the speed of light itself, Kaiser X phases out and goes kicking D-Reaper right in the face. This resulted in the monster to be thrown off backwards. D-Reaper lands down on the ground lays down with a rather painful, wincing look on her face. Kaiser X continues his taunts once again.
"D-Reaper, you had no chance in this battle. You knew ever well that I was serious and you knew that I was going to kill you. You might as well give it up. You better just take back your precious chaos and take your ass back where you belong."
D-Reaper felt very powerless at the moment and realized that everything that he had said was true. But she wasn't going to give up. She had come to exterminate every single life form on the three worlds. She had already wiped out on world, now Earth was next on her hit list.
"No! I will not lose. I was losing against a mere digital being?! I won't allow for this foolishness to continue! I won't allow myself to be drawn into weaknesses such as this. I'm the single most destructive force ever! I have no equal… but yet this warrior was able to beat me… if only I could outsmart him… wait! That's it… I still have my ability to delete… that shall be my new trump card and it will guarantee me victory…"
["Battle Theme" fades]
D-Reaper suddenly grins and seems to have already recovered her confidence. She stares right up towards the levitating warrior.
"You fail to realize. I'm the single most destructive force that was destined to extinguish all life on the three worlds! I dare you to give me everything you got! C'mon, why are you holding back?"
"What?! You want us to kick you around again? Well if that's what you wanted, you should have just asked!"
With that said, Kaiser X goes diving down with tremendous speed as he goes approaching over towards the D-Reaper with an angry look across his face. He then stops as D-Reaper waves her hand to him.
"Come a little closer."
Kaiser X starts approaching over to the D-Reaper with a rather cautious look. D-Reaper continued to wave out and then turns to face him with a smirk on her face. She then goes and responds by asking a question.
"Tell me, Kaiser X. How do you think it would feel to be deleted?"
The fusion warrior was alarmed by this question and his eyes widened in curiosity. But then, he was a little too late to even move out of the way. D-Reaper goes and shoots out a beam over at the warrior. Black Gatomon and Mummymon both looked on with horror as they watched D-Reaper holding her beam onto Kaiser X. The fusion warrior tried everything within his power to hold back but noticed pieces of his body starting to fade away and sparks of data floating out.
Kaiser X looked down at his body with sheer horror and was witnessing what looked like a bad nightmare. His body was starting to become deleted by the D-Reaper's deadly beam. Now seemingly to be defeating her enemy, D-Reaper looks across at him genuinely satisfied like never before.
****************************************************************************************
The Other side of the Digital Universe
The three higher powers looked on with sheer horror as they watched Kaiser X's body starting to break down and pieces of his body starting to ripple away. The exterior of his being was soon going to be erased from the face of existence itself.
Shintomon was horrified like never before, while Gosenzomon goes screaming out with angrily towards the fusion warrior on the viewing orb.
"Damn you, Kaiser X! This is what you get for letting foolish self-confidence get the best of you! Now the earth will die because of your stupid mistake!"
"C'mon, guys. You better pull out this and knock the shit out of her! I know you can break free of this predicament," X thought.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The Digi-Destined were all looking on with horrified looks across their faces. Every one of them could now only pray for a miracle to happen and save Kaiser X from being deleted by the D-Reaper. Sora and the others had arrived. However, Takato, Rika, Henry and Leomon were still out over at the location of the twin towers of Hypnos.
"I can't believe what's happening! Tai! Please don't let yourself die!" Sora cried while banging her fists on the desk.
"Sora! Hey! You're going to mess up the transmission like that!" Izzy exclaimed, "Geez. If you wanted to vent out your anger, go bang-"
Just then, Mimi grabbed Izzy and placed him into a headlock with a evil, pissed off look on her face and she screamed out like never before.
"Listen here! Our fiancées are out there betting deleted as we speak! We're not going to clam while some crazed lunatic plans on killing them and destroying everyone of us! And you have the nerve to calm down just because we're losing transmission?! I don't think so, pal!"
"Miss Tachikawa, you're just going to have to calm down," said Yamaki, "Listen, we shouldn't even doubt them as we speak. From what I saw from the entire battle, it looked as though Kaiser X was faring off his own against the D-Reaper. Nobody has been able to give the D-Reaper a challenge just like they have. So, it's wrong for us to lose hope when we've come so close to reaching our goal in defeating this thing. Now we both give up and wallow in self pity or we die fighting. I'm not about to go down without a fight."
"And neither will we," replied every single member of the Wild Bunch and the Monster Makers.
"Right! Besides. We still have Takato and the others in case of emergency," said Izzy, "What we should do is hope and pray."
"I have a say in this," Sonja said as she came walking into the room.
"Sonja?! Where have you been?" Ryo asked.
"Don't ask. I know what happened to my husband out there and I'm not going to give up in hopes of seeing this damn D-Reaper get what she deserves. All of us need to remain strong. Yamaki has proven his point. There's no point for us to worry. Just hope that Kaiser X will get himself out of that shitty predicament. Ok, is that clear everybody?!"
They all nodded in response to her sudden outburst. She then looks over and gives Ryo a death glare, since he was the only who didn't respond. The boy was thinking over what Cyberdramon had just previously said. He felt cold vibes after listening to that dark presence within his partner.
"Cyberdramon has been acting strangely. Maybe it's just me, but I want to keep an eye out for him. He's starting to concern me."
"Hey, Ryo! I didn't hear you! I said, am I clear?!"
Ryo backed away as he held his hands up in attempt to calm the angry, ex-artificial down. She approaches him.
"Sorry. Hey, have you noticed Cyberdramon acting rather peculiar lately?"
"Huh? Now that you mention it, I've been feeling this weird vibe from him," the artificial replied. "It's strange. I can't make out to what it really is."
"I think we should keep an eye out on his actions."
"Right."
"Wow, that Ryo sure isn't very popular with Sonja," Armadillomon said. "Her and Rika would rather beat him down so hard that it would make the D-Reaper's threats look like mere child's play."
"Hell have no fury with a woman scorned," Cody replied to his digimon's statement. "Though, she's been pretty concerned about Cyberdramon. She claimed to have sensed a weird vibe from him. Even I'm beginning to become weary of him."
"You said it, Cody. I don't think I can trust Cyberdramon, either," Yolei said, "Isn't that right, Izzy?"
"Huh? What did you just say? We've got important matters to attend to. What we really need to do is what Yamaki asked from each of us. Hope and pray for Kaiser X's chances of surviving."
The group all gathered around as they monitored the progress of the battle itself. The D-Reaper was still starting to delete her adversary using her death beam on him. Both Sora and Mimi had their eyes locked onto the computer monitor as they crossed their fingers.
"C'mon, Tai!"
"You can do it, Matt! You sure are making Dimitri and me proud. Do it for everyone on this planet and for the digital world."
****************************************************************************************
Back onto the scene of the battlefield, D-Reaper was clenching her fist while still shooting out a beam over at Kaiser X. She watched as several pieces of his body starting to breakdown under fragments of data. She looks on and laughs maniacally.
"Don't worry, Kaiser X. I'm not going to lay you to waste. I'm going to absorb your data and you shall become apart of me. Just think of what kind of unlimited powers I will have in possession. I will be the most unstoppable being this planet has ever seen. I should really thank you for this opportunity."
Just then, she was noticing her beam was moving all by itself. She looks on, as her hand was moving forwards and towards her. Before she could do anything to stop it, it goes swinging back and smashes right into her face. She goes jumping back and wipes her face. D-Reaper looks on and notices Kaiser X regaining his lost power by absorbing it back into his being.
Kaiser X starts glittering with newfound energy and screamed out with a huge aura of golden light surrounding him. His golden hair was now flowing back against the forces of the wind. His eyes were now glowing with a pure, emerald color in them.
The entire group back over at the shelter were looking on with astonished looks across their faces. Mimi and Sora quickly regained smiles on their faces as their fiancées were turning the tide against the D-Reaper and regaining their lost momentum.
Kaiser X cries out angrily as he goes charging right over towards D-Reaper and starts smacking her around in the face with rapid punches that even D-Reaper was unable to detect. He then levels her in the stomach, followed by a fist to the top of her chin and then a devastating chop to the back of her head. D-Reaper falls down into the ground where she goes crashing into a large dust cloud.
D-Reaper angrily cries out with a red aura blasting away at the ground around her. She goes flying right up at the warrior and swings wildly at him with kicks and punches, but the warrior was able to phase all around. She was unable to even make one hit on him. Kaiser X winds up a fist and then delivers fist slam right into her mouth. Then he goes and bombards all around D-Reaper in order to psych her out.
"Damn it! Hold still!"
The D-Reaper was starting to become frustrated over the fact that she was unable to even make a single hit on the super fast Kaiser X. His speed has now seemingly outmatched her sheer combination of power and speed. Not to mention the fact that he was simply outsmarting her as well.
****************************************************************************************
Other side of thee Digital Universe
Shintomon was looking on with sheer determination and enthusiasm of the progression of the battle. He was now relieved over that fact that Kaiser X allowed to gain back his momentum and started to attack the D-Reaper like never before. Despite all of this, X still showed a sign of concern for the warrior.
"Oh yes! That's the way, Kaiser X! That's the way to do it! Now give her a left and right! Kick her around! You're doing well at the moment!"
"But there's no reason to be relieved even while D-Reaper is still alive as we speak," replied Gosenzomon, "I just hope for once that Kaiser X would stop fooling around and destroy the monster for good."
"He's right, Shintomon. This battle is far from over. Trust me. D-Reaper is still alive and that's not a good thing. Finish it now, Kaiser X!"
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
Izzy and Yamaki looked over at the computer monitor with relieved looks across their faces. They watched as Kaiser X was regaining his momentum in the battle thus far against the all mighty D-Reaper.
"It looks like Kaiser X is winning! We just might still have a chance after all," Jeri said.
"Yeah! We got this one in the bag," replied Joe.
Just then, Shibumi spoke up as he went in to give his thoughts about the battle taking place as if he already knew something concerning it, which left the others a little bit too worried.
"It's not over yet," the man stated, "What would have been done if the D-Reaper would have absorbed Kaiser X into her being?"
"Hmmm. Perhaps this is all part of a plan devised by her," said Riley, "It's reasonable enough."
"We'll never know about that, Riley," said Talley, "All we have to do is remain patient and just watch what happens from here."
"Just have faith and hope for Kaiser X to finally end the nightmare," said Yamaki.
The whole room became silent again as they continued to view the ongoing battle occurring between the universe's strongest warriors just miles away from the Hypnos headquarters.
**************************************************************************************
Now starting to become infuriated after being pummeled by the fusion warrior, D-Reaper powers up and starts to attack Kaiser X much more fiercely. But he was able to dodge and block out every attack, as if he barely had to make a single movement at all. He wasn't even putting any effort in his fighting techniques or any of his movements.
Kaiser X lands a few good hits on his adversary, knocking the D-Reaper backwards. She goes and fires rapid ki blasts, but Kaiser X was unharmed and retaliates with a massive energy beam. D-Reaper gasps in horror as she watches the beam tear right through her lower half and watched it disintegrated under the blast. Kaiser X then goes attacking from above and smashes his fist down into D-Reaper's head. He sends her sailing down into the ground below. He kicks her and then grabs her long, stringy hair.
"Ha! You called yourself the single most destructive force in the Digital Universe?! That's a damn joke! Even that movie Gigil is more of a disaster. Whew, nothing compares to that single most destructive force. You must be going for some comedy routine are you? Is this the best you can do?! You're performance is shitty and needs to be rewritten. In other words, I'm you're editor."
D-Reaper goes glaring up with anger fueling up in her eyes and fires a ki blast at a very close range, which caused a massive explosion as a result.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon both watched with shock and amazement over the incredible destructive power that the D-Reaper had in possession.
But just as the smoke was starting to clear away, and much to D-Reaper's shocked horror, the warrior known as Kaiser X was unharmed. Not even a single scratch inflicted on his body. Kaiser X releases D-Reaper by her hair and blasts her away with an energy shot, leaving her with an arm and a hole in her torso. D-Reaper was now looking more messed up like never before and was getting humiliated at the hands of a digital being that she had planned on absorbing.
The D-Reaper attempts to regain her composure as she quickly regenerates her lost arm and lower body. However, she was unable to regenerate the hole in her torso that Kaiser X had shot through earlier. The warrior points out to it, which made D-Reaper growl in sheer frustration and bitter rage.
"This fight has been getting boring in the end. I want to finish this now, D-Reaper. Please spare us the boredom and just give up. If not, I'll just simply kill you. You're choice. Either way, you're defeated no matter what. You made a gamble and you lost."
"NO you haven't! I've only just-"
But Kaiser X had heard enough from the D-Reaper and tosses a ki beam that goes right through her mouth, which managed to silence her.
"Ok! Just as I as saying before you rudely interrupted, you simply were no match for me when we fused. We contain the anger of Omega X and Taichi Kamiya. Add that with the combination of the pride of both Metalla X and Yamato Ishida. Add those two and you equal a very powerful warrior. Just call us the warrior of courage and friendship. Two special traits that even you will never overcome. Face it, you have no courage and you have no friends, which makes you weaker than you look."
Kaiser X holds out his hand and holds it up. D-Reaper looks on while growling under her breath. Ten fingers were now being displayed on the warrior's hands.
"I'm going to count to ten before I put an end to your reign of terror, D-Reaper. Once those ten seconds are up, your going to be out of my sight and gone from the face of the earth. You had quite a short-life span when you meet up against me."
The monster recoils while growling under her breath, but then she manages to get into a defensive stance. Kaiser X began his countdown slowly but also loud to make sure that his adversary was able to hear.
"One! Two! Three! Four!"
D-Reaper was completely taken back by this and was desperately looking around her surroundings. Her face had become more paranoid then ever. But then a sigh of relief came, she saw found a piece of her hair lying on the ground below. Kaiser X had narrowly missed apiece before and was too careless to ever find it.
"Five! Six!"
"If I can't delete him then I still should be able to absorb him into my being somehow! That's it! It's the last chance I got! Otherwise, I'm going to die once he reaches the count of ten! Ugh, here goes nothing…"
"Seven!"
D-Reaper holds up a hand and watches as the piece of hair started to roll up into a ball and watches as it slowly rises into the air behind Kaiser X. The fusion warrior was unaware of the piece of chaos mass that was slowly starting to form from behind. But it seems, as though that Kaiser X was counting on this, was this the full-term plan that he had in mind?
"Eight! Nine!"
Just as Kaiser X was about to reach the count of ten, he looks over and watches the D-Reaper suddenly makes the piece of chaos mass expand out and surround the fusion warrior in one whole swallow.
"Shit! Here goes nothing! Barrier!"
The fusion warrior shouts as a barrier started to cover him as soon as the chaos mass was starting to swallow him up, much like the others had suffered. But this time around, it looked as though Kaiser X was really counting on this with a plan in mind. The whole mass goes sticking right over towards D-Reaper and it was then absorbed. D-Reaper starts to laugh maniacally over what she had wanted to accomplish. Now the power of Kaiser X was within her and she had won the battle, or has she? She really seemed to have won in her own frame of mind.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon could only look on with sudden shock and horror across their faces.
"Oh no! Dee just absorbed them!" Black Gatomon exclaimed, "This isn't good! Now we got a super-charged psycho ready to destroy the human realm! Who's left to challenge her power?!"
"I think I want to go home now," replied Mummymon, "I miss my Arukenimon… and my teddy bear."
***************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe
Gosenzomon and Shintomon were looking on with horrified expressions on their faces. It looked as if Gosenzomon was going to have a heart attack. Shintomon went over to clam the elder from having any sort of spasm attack.
"I can't believe it… We're so screwed," Gosenzomon said.
"We're finished," replied Shintomon. "The universe is finished…"
"Heh. I don't think so. This seems too obvious. Those two blockheads actually thought ahead this time for sure. This battle is far from over," X thought.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper was absolutely excited like never before as she started to celebrate over her biggest accomplishment.
"I did it! I did it! I have won! I can't believe it! Now Kaiser X was nothing more than obsolete. No more loud mouth annoyance! I've won! I have won and there's no soul between the two worlds that shall stand in my way! Humans, prepare to be exterminated. Then the digimon of the other digital world shall be deleted afterwards. Thank god! I don't have to listen to that big mouth ramble about his ego! Ha! Ha!"
She went sliding across the park's pond water, still laughing in celebration, as if it were already New Years Day celebration. Too bad she needed to go to New York City for that event and it's not even anywhere close to New Years.
However, the whole other bunch was horrified at what just happened. The people over at Hypnos couldn't believe it and their last hope had been swallowed up by the D-Reaper.
***************************************************************************************
Other of the Digital Universe
The higher powers weren't exactly having a good moment with the turn out of the battle. Shintomon looked on with a horrified look on his face and literally almost wanted to cry. She was in total despair of losing the Earth's last hope in defeating D-Reaper. However, X had remained clam for some apparent reason.
"Gosenzomon, I don't understand. Why aren't you in despair?! We just hope our last freaking hope in saving us all! Don't you even care?!"
"Hmmm. Something fishy is going on around here and it concerns Kaiser X. I've noticed a little trend as far as D-Reaper goes," X replied. "Do you see it elder?"
"Mmhmm. I was starting to doubt their hopes, but I just remembered something. You see, every time that she has absorbed a victim; she has gotten more powerful and transformed. Her appearance changes after every absorption. However, her appearance hasn't even changed that much after absorbing Kaiser X."
"So are you saying that this is not over by a long shot?"
"Exactly," replied Gosenzomon. "I was foolish to believe those two would screw up at a crisis like this."
"It would seem to me that Kaiser X has a plan in mind," X stated. "Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to allow D-Reaper to absorb him. All we have to do to see and watch what transpires."
"All right then. I'm looking forward to see what kind of plan that they have in mind. I just hope that it's good enough."
The two Supreme guardians and the warrior continued to view the orb as they watched the D-Reaper gleefully celebrating her victory.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper moves in onto different parts of the city itself and was looking across the chaos mass that was still covering portions of the entire city of West Shinjuku. A smile crosses her face and an idea had come into her mind.
"This is simply too boring of a place to even look at. Ah, I'll just blow it away for the entertainment."
With that said, D-Reaper began blasting away at buildings and nearby homes as she began her mass of destruction once again. Satanic laughter was heard from the background as explosions occurred in several parts of the city.
Yamaki would only bear to look on with disgust with his face against the window. He held his lighter and began flipping it rapidly. The other Wild Bunch members, Riley and Talley, go walking over to witness the destruction began caused by the D-Reaper.
"Our last hope was absorbed. Now what are we going to do? We can't even use the juggernaut since we will need a perfect shot to get it on the D-Reaper."
"Not to mention the fact that the D-Reaper will be able to detect it and will destroy it just before we can have a chance to fire it," Riley said, "I've never seen such a destructive force. It's as if judgment day has finally arrived and we're going to be punished for our sins."
"No! I can't bear to stand around and watch this!" Sora exclaimed, "Tai and Matt just got absorbed Izzy! What makes you think that I'm going to clam down!"
"And the same goes for me!" cried Mimi.
"But look! Haven't you guys noticed something?"
"What is it, Izzy? Did you just make a discovery?" asked Cody.
"Yeah, a really important discovery. Have you noticed that the D-Reaper hasn't even gotten anymore powerful since absorbing Kaiser X? And here's another important point to consider, her clothing has remained the same."
"So, why should we care? Our husbands and fiancées just got fucking absorbed by that thing!" Sonja exclaimed, "Since when did you get interested in fashion?!"
"That's not the point! Look, every time that the D-Reaper has absorbed a victim, she would inherit their clothing as well as their powers. Well, those warriors that she absorbed and acquired were War Dramon, Buddamon and Celesta X. She also inherited their powers and their body armor or clothing. However, after she absorbed Kaiser X, I expected her to become more powerful. However, my good friend, Tentomon, here sensed her ki and he claimed that her power hasn't even changed a single bit."
"What?! Then she didn't really absorb Kaiser X?" asked Joe. "Well that's a relief."
"Wrong. She did absorb him, but he hasn't been clearly killed. As a matter of fact, he was able to use a barrier to protect himself from the D-Reaper's chaos mass and is inside of D-Reaper as we speak!"
"Talk about doing an operation from the inside," said Gomamon, "Well, at least they should give her indigestion."
"That's it! Indigestion! That's what they're planning to do!" exclaimed Yolei, "Yeah, don't you guys get it?! The reason that they've gone inside was to give the D-Reaper an indigestion and retrieve the others from within."
"So, that way they can rescue and drain the D-Reaper of every single energy left in her body and destroy her where she's most vulnerable," said Hawkmon.
"Ha. I couldn't even think about something like that myself," replied Ryo, "So, what happens to D-reaper afterwards?"
"Isn't it obvious? The power that she attained by absorbing those three will leave her body. Those two knuckleheads managed to outsmart the single most destructive force in the two universes! I've got to hand it to them."
"Can't you get a view of the inside of the D-Reaper?" asked Biyomon.
"Eww, now that's sick. I really don't want to know what that thing ate," said Palmon.
"Unfortunately no."
"Maybe we can help, Izzy," Mr. Wong said, "Don't worry, if we can just get a scan on the D-Reaper's other entity. Maybe we can get an inferred view from the inside of its body."
"Good plan! I'm glad you guys are still in the game. Shibumi, make sure and watch over the Kernal sphere, just in case, it acts a little weird."
"I'm right on it, Izzy."
"Ok, guys. This is it. All we have to do is trust in Kaiser X and go along with his plan. This might be our last chance to ensure victory."
The Digi-Destined all stood around to sat as the Monster Makers were attempting to get an inferred view of the inside of the D-Reaper. Suzie goes walking over and watches the computer monitor with great anticipation.
"Did you pay attention to everything they said, Suzie?" Lopmon asked.
"Hmmm. No. I don't gwet all twis techno stuff," the girl replied.
"Oh, Suzie. You're so unbelievable."
***************************************************************************************
Inside of D-Reaper
[Prodigy "Breathe" plays]
Deep within the body of the D-Reaper, it was an environment completely covered by the chaos mass, not to mention a landscape with vein-like structures and floating blobs. Kaiser X is now seen entering, as some sort of white shield surrounded him. The warrior could hear D-Reaper's laughs echoing from the inside and began to cover his ears in annoyance to the monster's joyous laughter. He had used to barrier to avoid himself from being absorbed at the very last minute.
"Ewww, talk about a rather beautiful way to spend your summer vacation. I'm not recommending this resort to anyone. Barrier off!"
With that said, the barrier faded out and this allowed Kaiser X to start exploring the inside of D-Reaper's body. He goes on searching what's left of Davis, TK, Kari and Buddamon.
***************************************************************************************
Planet Shin
The Supreme guardians were watching the orb and observing from the inside of the D-Reaper. They were now becoming quite interested in what Kaiser X was planning.
"Yes, this is all part of Kaiser X's plan!" said Gosenzomon.
"So far, so good," X replied.
"They can weaken D-Reaper from the inside and allow them the chance to attack a more vulnerable D-Reaper and it will allow them the chance to defeat her once and for all," replied Shintomon.
***************************************************************************************
Inside of D-Reaper's body
Just as Kaiser X was beginning to explore out further within the body, he felt his energy depleting and his form starting to separate. As soon as they split apart, they were once again Omega X and Metalla X. They stared at each other in confusion.
"What the hell?! But I thought the Gosen fusion was supposed to last forever?! What a rip off!" Omega X exclaimed. "How come we separated?"
"My guess is that the environment here prevented us to maintain our Kaiser X form. Remember, D-Reaper deletes anything it touches and so our power must have been taken away. So, that's the last we'll ever see of Kaiser X," asked Metalla X as he crushed his earring.
"Yeah. I guess so. There's no use in these earrings if they can only be used once," Omega X said while crushing his earring.
As soon as they did that, they began walling down the bowery of the inner body of the D-Reaper. The cavernous hallways that they were walking through looked rather haunting and dark. Omega X looked around his surroundings and was starting to get some bad vibes from the environment around him.
"Don't you think that this place is kind of creepy?" asked Omega X.
"I agree. I never planned on visiting the inside of somebody before. But this is ridiculous," replied Metalla X, "Yuck! What's the frag is that smell?"
"Um, don't ask me. I didn't do it."
"Not that. That!"
Suddenly, they both found themselves in a quicksand-like liquid as they started to sink in. Omega X tried his best to grab onto Metalla X, in order to pull themselves out. They couldn't even use their powers to pull themselves free and were sucked right through.
However, instead of being sucked into a bottomless pit, they were now falling into a rather spacious area and land in a lake full of some red substance. It was blood, but looked like some sort of liquid to keep the inside of the body moist. The two warriors looked around saw another ominous dwelling pit.
"Yuck! It looks like we're inside of her stomach!" exclaimed Omega X.
"How can you be sure?"
"Um, would a stomach have acids that breaks down the foods?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, take a good look behind you!"
"What?!"
As soon as he turned around, he saw masses of data floating around as if they were the foods themselves. Suddenly, liquid starts coming down and it fizzles right through the data masses. One by one, they were each vaporizing the data masses. The two fusion warriors could only look on with widened eyes and turned over towards each other.
"Don't you think this would be the perfect time to get the hell away from here?" asked Omega X.
"No way! I say we fight fire with fire! Let's go, Tai! Maybe we can at least give her an indigestion!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"Well, why didn't I ever think of that?"
The two warriors flew up and they started to fire away at the stomach of the D-Reaper. This way, they could give her indigestion and slow her down from the mass destruction that she was currently causing at the very moment.
One of Metalla X's blasts managed to tear a hole right through the stomach of the D-Reaper and they fall into a river of D-Reaper's stomach acids before the hole managed to heal itself. They soon were splashed down through and landed onto another piece of dry land. Omega X looks over body and notices that his body wasn't breaking down. This was a good sign considering their body was made up of data and they could have been easily deleted like any other mass of data.
"Thanks a lot, Matt. If we would have continued that assault, then the D-Reaper would have surely discovered us at that moment."
"Ha, just be lucky that we didn't get digested."
"Good point. Now let's go hurry up and find Kari, TK and the others."
Metalla X nodded his head and watches as Omega X goes flying off into the distance. Metalla X soon went following right after him. They were now wandering around as they pushed themselves right through many loads of data packets, which were part of every digimon that D-Reaper had absorbed.
"Just look at all of this data. These poor digimon didn't even stand a chance. They didn't deserve this sort of fate," Omega X said.
"Don't worry. I'm sure the Sovereigns will find a way to restore them after we have defeated the D-Reaper."
Suddenly, Metalla X stops and felt something nearby. Omega X stopped as well as he turned to face Metalla X. There were strange vibes within the area. They fell silent and began to scan the environment. They saw nothing but then they heard a strange whirling around.
"Whoa! Did you just hear that, Matt? I thought I heard something?"
"Maybe you're just hearing things. Don't go delusional on me now, Tai."
"No, I'm dead serious. Don't tell that you can't hear. Because I know that you can. Can you hear it? Well can you?"
Metalla X suddenly gasped as he heard the whirling sounds starting to become much louder than they were before. Omega X steps right next to him and put his ears out to listen. Finally, they were able to notice the source and it was a group of ADR-03s heading their direction.
"Ack! Just what are those things?" asked Metalla X, "I'm sensing great kis from each individual."
"I heard these things were called agents of D-Reaper. So they must be the drones that protect the chaos mass. Well, we should be able to handle these guys."
As soon as he said that, the ADRs soon began firing away at the two fusion warriors with a barrage of blasts. They tried blocking the blasts out by crossing their arms. But to no avail, the blasts were able to turn start burning right through the armor of the two.
"Damn! They're blasts are eating their way through our armor. We better end this quick before these things digest us!" exclaimed Omega X.
"Right and I know just the perfect way!"
With that said, Metalla X quickly powered up and started firing many multiple ki-blasts out at the ADRs and watched as one by one, they were clearly wiped out from the blasts. Omega X joined in as he went to help his comrade clear away the ADR army.
"All right! Looks like we're getting the best of them! These agents aren't as bad as I thought."
With that said, they were able to clear the area of the ADR army. They looked up ahead as they peered into a deep, dark cavernous tunnel.
"Shall we move on?" asked Omega X.
"Of course. We don't have time to waste. I just want to get TK and the others out of here as soon as possible. I don't even like the smell here."
"I agree! Lets go-AH!"
"What now?!"
"We've got company!"
The two fusion warriors look on up ahead they saw something coming right out from the dark cavernous tunnel and were shocked as another ADR revealed itself. This time it was ADR-08, who lets out a monstrous roar. The monster quickly took the two fusion warriors back as they got into fighting poses.
"Ready for a little round two here?" Omega X asked, "This guy is no pushover."
"Whatever. I just want to get this thing over with. Send out whoever you can D-Reaper! It won't make a difference to me! I'll plow through every agent you throw at me!"
"We can't underestimate these drones. They are apart of D-Reaper and they could be just as deadly."
"Whatever. I just want to end this crap and find TK!"
"As much as I want to agree with you, this certainly is not going to be an easy task. Takato and the others had quite a hard time with these things. So we better watch ourselves."
"Fine."
"Ready?"
"I've always been ready. I was born ready."
"Lets take him!"
The two warriors flew out right at the ADR as they started their assault against its rather massive body. Omega X would have to find a way to defeat it, using the old hit and run tactics. The ADR responds by blasting out a huge blue energy blast from its mouth, which the two fighters were able to maneuver from. They turned and watched as the blast was sent into a nearby nerve wall and it explodes with a massive force.
"Whoa! Talk about a close call!" Omega X cries out, "What do you say we put an end to this crap?"
"I'm with you."
The two warriors cupped their hands together as energy forms in their palms. The ADR was quickly heading over towards their direction. It was ready to fire another blast, but just as soon as it got closer, they both shot out two massive energy blasts that penetrated through the massive ADR with the tremendous of ease.
"Bulls eye baby!" exclaimed Metalla X, "That was an easy task, but oh well. At least we got the job done."
"I'll say," Omega X said, who the turns the other way. "Hey! There's a passageway through the left side. I say we take a look at it."
"You just lead the way. Once we get the others back, then we're getting the hell out of here. Got it?"
"Sure, whatever you say, dude."
With that said, the two fusion warriors began flying off into the bowery of the left passageway, which could possibly lead them towards the location of TK, Kari, Davis and Buddamon. It looked dark and barren, but they were willing to go through any more drones in order to rescue their friends.
****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, D-Reaper was skipping around continuing her celebration and was more like none other. But then, her celebrations came to a complete halt as she felt a tremendous pain from within her stomach. She held it and began crying out.
"Augh! Just what the hell is going on inside of my stomach?! Why am I having these cramps! Shit! I must try to cleanse out my system! Now, where's the 'John' at?"
With that said, D-Reaper finds a dark alleyway and looked around to see nobody looking, since the majority of the people in West Shinjuku were gone, either fled or died after the attacks by the D-Reaper. She goes and then hides into the alleyway.
Black Gatomon and Mummymon looked on as they were wondering why D-Reaper would be hiding in the alleyway. Mummymon sat up and peered over to the location the D-Reaper fled.
"Yes! Now this is my chance to defeat her just as I promised my fellow digimon! See ya!"
"No! I implore you not to attack Dee! You're going to get yourself killed!"
"Ah, whoa re you kidding me?! She's already vulnerable after a bad stomachache? What could go wrong?"
As soon as he said that, there was a loud, noise that even Mummymon was familiar with. He then took a sniff in the air and then his eyes widened.
"Ack! Choking! Black Gatomon revert your nose!"
"What? What could go-MY GOD! THAT STINKS!"
They both collapsed to the ground after taking a sniff from what smelled like a really bad fart and it was coming from the alleyway.
****************************************************************************************
Inside of D-Reaper's body
The two warriors were still traveling across the dark bowery. They were hoping to have found their friends right about now, but they saw nothing but total darkness.
Suddenly there was a loud trembling from within, as if an earthquake was taking place. Then a huge flood of water came flooding out of the tunnel.
"OH my god-don't tell that it's-"
"Yeah, Tai. Its a load of crap about to come our way!"
The two warriors cried out as the river of water came flowing out, but they were able to fly up as they attached themselves onto the ceiling from above. They watched as the flow of water came roaring along as if it were a devastating river.
As soon as the river of crap stopped, Omega X sighed a big relief while Metalla X went flying down.
"Whew! That was a close one!" exclaimed Omega X, "Now, we should really continue our search."
"Yeah because we were rudely interrupted. Even being the single most destructive force of two universes, the D-Reaper has the most gruesome bathroom period I've seen! I never knew she would be the one to ever use the bathroom."
"Well when you got to go, you got go. C'mon! Lets head this way, to our right."
They went heading into the right tunnel, where a shed of light was shining through. They managed to cover their eyes and walk right through the light itself.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper came walking out of the alleyway with a rather satisfied look on her face. She then patted her stomach and looked very much relieved to have taken care of her business just before going back to continue her mass destruction. She then began to rant on about her powers and how she was succeeded over every other warrior.
"Ah, that was much better. That ought to get rid of that stomach cramp. I won't need Pepotismal! Ha! This is truly unbelievable! But, even being locked into a ball for thousands of years, I was still able to defeat the digital world's greatest forces and now I've been able to absorb some of earth's best digital fighters. Now they are all apart of me. This is just too good to be true!"
****************************************************************************************
Inside of D-Reaper's brain
Meanwhile, Omega X and Metalla X managed to push themselves through the light and quickly found themselves inside of the brain of the D-Reaper. They both looked on with astonished looks across their faces. The room itself was a dark, blue environment crisscrossed by large, thick cables and many formations of nerves. They both began to walk on a trail that branches out into two.
"Ok. Looks like we'll just have to go separate ways this time. That ok with you?" Omega X asked.
"Sure. I don't care if you follow me or not. If I happen to find TK, I'm out of here."
"Once I get Kari and the others out, then we'll follow you."
"Agreed. Let's do this."
They then took their separate routes in hopes of finding their friends. Omega X continues on through an eerie, ghostly tunnel, and then suddenly catches sight of a mysterious figure standing just a few yards away from him. He stopped and peered towards the figure.
"Hey! Who's there? Is that you, Matt?"
The figure quickly turns to face Omega X, and it turned out to be Mystic Celesta. Omega X's eyes shot up with delight and he goes running over towards his sister.
"Kari! It's you! I can't believe it! You're still alive!"
Elsewhere, Metalla X goes stumbling upon both War Angemon and Imperialdramon.
"Hey! There you two are! TK. Davis. Let's get the hell out of here. I don't like the way D-Reaper has set this room up."
Just then, instead of following his lead, they both performed the fusion dance and quickly transformed into War Dramon. Metalla X turned around with a rather shocked expression on his face.
"What are you two doing?! I said for you two to follow me! What's with this macho crap all of a sudden? We don't have time for your little power demonstration."
Omega X happily goes approaching Mystic Celesta with delight, but the celestial warrior just stood glaring at him with evil intentions. The, without warning, Mystic Celesta fires a Terra Beam at him. Omega X gets hit and is thrown back into a wall. He gets up with a confused look on his face.
Elsewhere, Metalla X is having the same troubles with War Dramon. War Dramon goes firing ki blasts at him for no apparent reason.
"Wait a minute. What if these are just tricks and illusions created by D-Reaper? You think you can fool me?! I don't think so!"
With that said, Metalla X quickly powers up and a bright golden aura forms around in place of his metallic blue flare. But then out of nowhere, somebody grabbed Metalla X around the neck. He then turns around to see none other than Buddamon.
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe
Shintomon was looking on with a rather shocked look on his face, yet he was very confused at the turn of events that was taking place.
"What the heck is going on here, Gosenzomon?! I don't understand this. They're not supposed to be attacking them. What do you think of the situation, X?"
"That's because those are not the real Takeru, Daisuke and Hikari. Even that Buddamon isn't real either," X replied.
"Is that true, elder?"
"Yes. In fact, since they are inside of D-Reaper's brain, there are merely D-Reaper's memories of the warriors. So think of it as saving files in your computer. D-Reaper was able to save and store the warriors' memories within her brain."
"I see…"
***************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's brain
Omega X goes defending himself from the onslaught attack from Mystic Celesta. He tried everything to throw back every that the female was using in her arsenal.
"Yes! That's it! That's not really Kari! Kari doesn't even punch as hard as this fake one! Well that's it! I'm sick of this bullshit!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X cried out and a golden aura covers his body. He goes flying right at the fake and goes pummeling her down onto the ground.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
Black Gatomon wakes up from his unconscious state and looks up to find D-Reaper standing on top of a demolished building while gazing over towards the Kernal sphere. Mummymon was finally able to regain consciousness, after being knocked out by the stench of D-Reaper's business. He then catches sight of the D-Reaper on the top of the building. He goes hiding from view.
D-Reaper looks on over towards the Kernal sphere and sensed the location of four strong kis all gathered together. The four that she was able to sense were Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Mega Gargomon and Cyberleomon.
As soon as she goes flying off into the distance, Black Gatomon and Mummymon started right on after her. Mummymon hopped out of hiding and started laughing.
"Did you see that?! That goofball D-Reaper got scared of me and fled away!"
Black Gatomon sighs and shakes his head in exasperation. A single sweat drop came pouring his head.
"I say that we follow D-Reaper."
"Follow her?! I don't know if that's such a good idea. She might yell at us for spying on her."
"No! If Dee manages to destroy this planet, then we might as well kiss our asses goodbye. We'll be goners just like everyone else! We've got to at least do something to stop her, and we may have an opportunity when she's heading off towards that sphere."
"Ok, we could do that. Let's go for it."
"Yes, before it's too late."
Black Gatomon grabs him by the hand and goes speeding off with Mummymon trying to hang on tightly. Black Gatomon traveled fast enough to get over long distances.
****************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
Metalla X was having a hard time in a handicap battle against War Dramon and Buddamon, who were no pushovers either. He was lying on the ground with bruises and cuts.
"Tai! I need your help! Please, I implore you! Please, get your ass in here!"
Buddamon cups his hands together and fires out an electrical ball of energy from his hands. Metalla X was able to leap out of the way and it goes hitting War Dramon instead. Metalla X retaliates by blasting Buddamon back with a ki beam. The two fake warriors spark up and go flying back away from each other.
Metalla X slowly gets to his feet with a rather relieved look on his face and goes averts back to his metallic-blue aura form. He then looks on with horror across his face as both Buddamon and War Dramon rose up to their feet. They seemed completely unharmed from his attack. They both glared at Metalla X in complete silence.
Elsewhere, Mystic Celesta and Omega X were facing each other off. One sends out a Holy Beam, while the other shoots out a Terra Beam. Their blasts created a midair collision and formed a massive explosion that tore through the wall into the chamber location where Metalla X was. Metalla X noticed his comrade and then called out for him.
"Tai! Get your ass in here and lend me a hand! Now!"
Mystic Celesta and War Dramon both went flying right at Omega X and Metalla X, as they ended up pummeling away at their adversaries.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper was soaring through the skies as she was heading over to the location of the Kernal sphere, at the center where the massive chaos mass was building up. He followed the four kis in the air and realized that three of them were bio-merged.
Cyberleomon looks up into the skies and gasps in shock. Mega Gargomon took notice of this.
"What's wrong, Leomon?" Mega Gargomon asked, under Henry's voice. "Yeah, why are ya so bummed out?"
"It's her! The D-Reaper's other entity is heading this way!"
"Okay! Now that's something to worry about!" Terriermon exclaimed within his mega form.
Sakuyamon and Gallantmon both turned gasping at what Cyberleomon had just said.
"She's heading this way here?!" Sakuyamon asked, under Rika's vocie.
"She was able to absorb Buddamon, Mystic Celesta, War Dramon and now Kaiser X. She's gotten every single one of the last line of the earth's defenses and looks like we're next!"
"Not unless we go down without a fight! I'm ready! C'mon, guys! We're going to give up trying?!" Gallantmon exclaimed, under Takato's voice. "So, what do you say? Are ya'll up for it?"
They all cried out in response. Then they turned back up to pick up the nearby dark presence of the D-Reaper making her way over towards the location.
Elsewhere, Mummymon and Black Gatomon were still following D-Reaper's direction in hopes of getting to her in time.
****************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
The fake warriors start approaching over towards Omega X and Metalla X with lifeless expressions across their faces. They both realized that there was no stopping them and no chance to escape. Mystic Celesta starts the onslaught off by cupping her hands together and forms a massive energy ball. She then pushes out to target the two warriors.
"Terra Beam!"
Buddamon shoots out another electrical ball of energy. War Dramon spits out several ghost kamikazes out to attack.
Omega X was speechless and a loss for words. Metalla X was ready for everything the fakes were about to throw at him. They both crossed their arms as they prepared themselves for the worst to happen and their fates soon to be sealed.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper looks on ahead and saw the kernal sphere floating and rotating around very slowly. It catches her attention as a twisted smile crosses her face.
****************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
Just as soon as they were about to blast their attacks, they were quickly transformed into three floating orbs, much similiar to the Kernal spheres. Omega X looks on as the Terra Beam exploded into a mass of data and faded away. The two warriors sighed a big relief and fell down onto their backs.
****************************************************************************************
Planet Shin
The two Supreme guardians and the masked man were surprised at the turn of events, but Shintomon was the one who was a loss ford words. Gosenzomon and X didn't even seem surprised at all.
"So, just as I thought," X said.
"Hmph. Yep. I know what happened."
"What happened, Gosenzomon?"
"The only thought in D-Reaper's mind right now is the Kernal sphere. Her thoughts of the warriors have now completely vanished."
"Well, that's a relief. I thought we were truly going to lose them."
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper looks down through the clouds and noticed the four mega-leveled digimon facing up over at her. Another grin came across her face.
"There she is guys!" Gallantmon exclaimed, "Be prepared for anything she throws out. She's stronger than any of us."
"And this will require every bit of our power. Teamwork is required. Is that clear?" asked Sakuyamon.
"Right!"
D-Reaper could merely laugh at her four new adversaries but then her gaze changes right over towards the Kernal sphere, which she was eyeing like a hawk.
****************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
Omega X and Metalla X continue to walk through the brain of the D-Reaper. They were barely able to escape the fakes. But they were now starting to worry about finding their real friends.
"I have a bad feeling about this, Matt. What if Kari and the others were killed…"
"Let's not jump into any conclusions! Look up ahead. There's a lighted room. We better check that out and hope our friends are in there."
"Right!"
They both started running over towards the light and quickly found themselves into another section of the D-Reaper's brain. Metalla X looks over and sees something around a bend deep within the tunnel. It was Buddamon and he looked to be completely unconscious, with only his face being visible.
"It's Buddamon!"
"And that's not all, Tai. There's more."
Omega X turns around and saw more cocoon-cased wombs. His face twisted with shock, as he saw none other than Kari and TK, along with Gatomon and Patamon. Metalla X looks right over and also noticed two more cocoons containing both Davis and Veemon.
"They're all here! I can't believe we did it!" Omega X exclaimed.
Our heroes managed to find their comrades, but they can get them out and find a way from out of D-Reaper's body in hopes of defeating the monstrous being before she absorbs the power of the Kernal sphere. Can the Tamers hold off the new threat? You guys better realize what you're up against! Stay on you're game! Tai! Matt! Hurry up and save you're comrades!

Takato: Hey, it's Takato here! While my friends and I distract the D-Reaper, Tai and Matt discover the location of their comrades! Let's go, Tamers! We're going to give the D-Reaper everything we got!
D-Reaper: Do you really think you weaklings stand a chance against me? I've increased my power like none other!
Omega X: Let's pull Kari and Gatomon first. We can have Mystic Celesta help us free the others.
Mystic Celesta: It's good to be back.
Metalla X: What happens if we pull out these pods?

D-Reaper: No! Don't pull the one with the child form of myself! You'll regret it!
Metalla X: Let's give it a try!
[D-Reaper cries out horrifyingly as her body starts changing into that of a teenage girl with an evil glare. The Tamers and the Digi-Destined look on with shock. D-Reaper fires a massive sphere. The warriors attempt to escape the apocalyptic blast.]

The D-Reaper's Breakdown into her True Form?! The End of the Earth?!
D-Reaper's Brain
Metalla X and Omega X looked on with awed looks across their faces as they were gazing at eight sealed cocoons containing their own friends. Among those being Buddamon, Davis, TK, Kari, Veemon, Gatomon and Patamon.
"Its Buddamon!"
"And that's not all, Tai. There's more."
Omega X turns around and saw more cocoon-cased wombs. His face twisted with shock, as he saw none other than Kari and TK, along with Gatomon and Patamon. Metalla X looks right over and also noticed two more cocoons containing both Davis and Veemon.
"They're all here! I can't believe we did it!" Omega X exclaimed.
"Look at TK and Davis. It seems their fusion as War Dramon has worn off much like our fusion," said Metalla X.
"Actually, they were fused at the very time that they were absorbed and D-Reaper took on their characteristics. I'm assuming that the two only split apart because their thirty-minute time limit was up. But I wonder if the fusion can still work in this trash heap."
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The D-Reaper was looking down upon the four megas with a confident grin across her face. She eyed them one by one, and then looks right over towards the Kernal sphere.
"Yes, there it is. There I shall harness the true pinnacle of my power. Those four down there won't even stand a chance. As a matter of fact, I better rid myself of them before they become an even bigger nuisance. I just loving seeing the fear across human's faces."
"Here she comes! Brace yourselves, guys! This isn't going to be easy!" Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice.
"Well since when has it ever been easy?" Sakuyamon asked.
"Like never. We can't underestimate her! This monster will destroy our planet if we don't do something now! It's up to us!" Mega Gargomon cries out.
"She's managed to absorb four powerful warriors into her being. There's no reason for us to underestimate her. If we are not careful, we'll be more than likely to be deleted or absorbed," Cyberleomon said.
The four got into fighting stances as they faced off the D-Reaper. She tilted her head to the other said and looked at them with an expressionless awe look on her face.
Elsewhere, Black Gatomon was racing over the landscape with Mummymon running alongside behind him. Mummymon stopped as he was catching his breath. Black Gatomon turned to face him and ran back over to him.
"What's wrong? We have to keep going!"
"I can't. My feet hurt. Plus there's also something you should know…"
"What?"
"She's up there with some other four fellows. They look like they're surrounding her as if they are going to attack all at once."
"Looks like it. This might actually be something worthwhile to watch. Let's see how they fare. Maybe they'll actually give Dee a good fight."
Mummymon and Black Gatomon look up as they witnessed the showdown taking place between the four megas and the one D-Reaper. They were still in fighting poses while D-Reaper was holding out her arms with clenched fists visible.
[Disturbed "Stupify" plays]
"Go ahead, fools. Make your move. Now step aside and allow me to harness the power of the Kernal sphere. Do as I say before you end up like your friends."
"You want to the Kernal sphere? Well, you're going to have to get through this brick wall to do so! Come on! Bring everything you've got!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"As you wish, Gallantmon. You shall be the first to be deleted."
"Eat this! Lightning Joust!"
Gallantmon shoots out a powerful beam from out of his lance and watches as it penetrates D-Reaper directly into her chest, but she didn't even seem to be phased. There wasn't a single scratch on the monster's chiseled body.
"What? Guilmon! That sure didn't look good! That blast didn't lay a single scratch on her!"
"Takato! She's gained more power since the last time we saw her. It's indescribable. This could be her final form. We better not keep our eyes off of her."
"I agree with you on that. All right. Guys, we're going to have to give it everything we got. Everybody attack at once!" Gallantmon exclaimed, under Takato's voice.
The four digimon shouted out as they flew right at the D-Reaper. Each of them separated out into four different spots among the skies above.
Mega Gargomon's body plates opened up a barrage of missiles came shooting out over at the D-Reaper.
"Mega Barrage!"
The explosive masses of the missiles were now starting to form in a large, thick cloud. Sakuyamon came next as she thrashed her staff around and three fox spirits started to shoot out at D-Reaper.
"Spirit Strike!"
D-Reaper soon felt her body starting to get affected by the power of the fox spirits, but it still wasn't able to make a single damage on her body. Cyberleomon came next as he raised his fist back and threw out a massive blast of energy.
"Justice Fist!"
An explosion was heard as the thick smoke cloud was starting to massively build up all around the D-Reaper. Gallantmon came next as he held out his shield and it started to flash.
"Shield of the…"
The shield then was starting to glow and releases a massive beam of energy that was twice as stronger as the Positron Laser from Imperialdramon.
"JUST!"
The four combined attacks exploded right around the massive smoke cloud building up around the D-Reaper. The four digimon watched on as they anticipated for the smoke cloud to clear away.
"Did we get her?!" asked Megal Gargomon, under Henry's voice. "Well, we didn't hear her cry out like a wimp that's for sure. I'm not sure she would be crying at a shot like that."
"I just hope that was enough," replied Sakuyamon, "There's no way-AH!"
Gallantmon and Cyberleomon were now starting to tremble with fear as the smoke cloud was clearing away. D-Reaper was still hovering with a bright red aura glowing all around her.
"No way! There's no way anybody could have survived that!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Well, she's certainly not your average super-charged up wacko that's for sure," said Mega Gargomon, under Terriermon's voice.
D-Reaper held out her hand and was starting to power up an energy attack to make her retaliation felt.
"So, are we done now? I think it's my turn to repay the favor, weaklings."
["Stupify" ends]
The four mega quickly get into fighting poses as the D-Reaper's hand was starting to glow and they were ready for anything that she was about to throw at them. This could very well spell the end for the Tamers if they don't act quickly.
****************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
Meanwhile, back inside the brain, Omega X makes his way over towards the two cocoons containing both Patamon and TK. He went over to touch them, but Metalla X steps into his way.
"Stand aside, Tai."
Metalla X goes shooting out two separate blasts towards the two tendons that were connecting the cocoon from the ceiling to the floor. The two cocoons drops down onto the floor. Then they start doing the same to the other cocoons. As a result of this, the power of the warriors given to the D-Reaper was soon leaving her.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The D-Reaper was about to blast her adversaries until she felt a tremendous pain pulsating in her head. She clutched her head and started thrashing out. Her screams were heard echoing throughout the entire city.
The four megas looked on with confused looks on their faces. Cyberleomon and Sakuyamon were both looking and noticing a decrease from within D-Reaper's power.
"Hey, what's going on? Is she like sick or something?" Gallantmon asked. "Maybe, she's got the cold, Takato. You told me your head starts pounding when you get one."
"This is too weird, but something has be inside of her head," Mega Gargomon said, under Henry's voice. "Yeah, I'd be screaming like crazy if my head was hurting too."
"That's beyond the point. Renamon, what's really going on?" Sakuyamon asked, under Rika's voice. "It would seem that something is within the D-Reaper and sapping away it's energy."
"Ah! It's got to be Tai and Matt! They're within the D-Reaper! I can feel them. No wonder the D-reaper didn't obtain any energy after absorbing Kaiser X. They're freeing the victims from inside and that will result in the D-Reaper to lose their powers," said Cyberleomon, "But nonetheless, we still should be careful."
The four megas watched as the D-Reaper was letting out more screams as her body was starting to transform and she was quickly reverting back to her normal form, just before absorbing Buddamon, Mystic Celesta and War Dramon. She stared at her hands in shock and confusion.
***************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe
Even the two higher powers were astonished at what they were looking, but Shintomon was the one who was shocked beyond belief. Then he looks right over towards Gosenzomon and smiles form across their faces. They were so thrilled and excited that they started to do a victory dance, in order to mimic the evil D-Reaper.
X looked on with approval and felt the D-Reaper's tremendous ki depleting quickly. A grin forms across his masked face.
"Way to go, guys. Now hurry it up! D-Reaper is getting pissed off."
***************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
Kari found herself waking up and opened her eyes. She jumps back and looks around at the grotesque environment she was currently at.
"Where am I?!"
"Kari! Thank god you're wake!" Omega X calls out.
"Tai? What's going on here? Where are we?"
"I'll give you one guess. We're not in Shinjuku anymore."
"What? It looks like we're inside someone's brain… Oh my god!"
"You guessed right," Metalla X replied.
"But how did we… Wait a second. I remember the D-Reaper absorbed me when I was still Mystic Celesta. Then, everything went blank after that."
"Don't worry. We're cutting off D-Reaper's power supply in here. It looks like we've just weakened her," said Omega X. "If I were you, I'd wake up Gatomon. There's no telling what other tricks D-Reaper will hatch out."
"Right."
With that said, Kari kneels over to her fallen digimon partner and holds her tightly around her arms.
"Gatomon. Wake up."
The feline opened her eyes slowly and looked up to see Kari's beautiful face. Gatomon looks around and was stunned by the inner walls of the grotesque inner brain chamber.
"Kari? Where are we?"
"Inside of the D-Reaper's brain, I know you won't believe me but it's true."
"No, I can sense the D-Reaper. This is definitely her inner chamber. Yuck, that smell is just awful. Hey, there's TK and Davis!"
"What? Oh my god! They're…"
Gatomon jumps off and checks on their two fallen comrades. The feline nodded her head in approval.
"Don't worry. They're just out of it. I wouldn't blame them. Their fusion form worn them out."
"But, why didn't our form wear us out?" Kari pondered.
"Beats me."
Suddenly, the inner chambers of the D-Reaper's brain started to pulsate rapidly. Kari and Gatomon tended to the care of TK, Davis, and Buddamon. Gatomon attempted to nurse both Veemon and Patamon. Omega X was realizing what was going on and could feel the ki of D-Reaper starting to decrease. He turns and looks right over to Metalla X and gives him a nod. With that done, they quickly started to blast their way through the D-Reaper. But just as they were about to leave, Omega X pauses and turns to face Metalla X.
"Matt. I still think that D-Reaper will still be too strong for us handle once we get out of her. Don't you think?"
"Well, what else could we possibly do then?" Metalla X asked.
"Since you and I already destroyed the Gosen earrings, I have another idea in mind. There is a another way."
"No. I don't think so. Don't you even think about it!"
"Aw, c'mon! We kicked so much ass when we were Kaiser X! We have to at least give it a try! Don't be a sour sport!"
"No way! There's no way your going to talk me into doing that stupid little pose. I don't think so. I sing. I don't dance."
"But, it's not that bad. It has kind of a good beat to it. You could definitely use it on your band."
"If I used it on my band, it's going to kill our reputation. But back onto subject, I will never want to fuse with you ever again! Not ever! You can't talk me into it!"
"What are they talking about, Gatomon?"
"Beats me. Make that argument number 2343 between those two and it's still counting."
"Figures. Those two never stop."
With that said, Metalla X goes turning his back on Omega X while crossing her arms with a stubborn look across his face. Just then, he goes and catches the sight of something. He gasps at what he was seeing before him.
"Oh my god!"
"What's wrong?!' Kari asked frantically.
"What? What is it, Matt? What got you all tensed up? Let me see."
But just as Omega X was walking over to see what startled Metalla X, he too was gasping in shock. Hanging right before them was the original D-Reaper, sealed away in a cocoon. They both gazed up at her with astonishment.
"My god, it's the D-Reaper in her child form!" Kari exclaimed.
"Ugh, will somebody tell what the heck is going on around here?! How can the D-Reaper absorb herself?!" Gatomon cries out.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The megas looked on as the D-Reaper was flying down towards the devastated park. Slowly but surely, D-Reaper was losing her power and feeling a little light-headed from the blasts she suffered from within her head.
"What's she doing now?" asked Mega Gargomon. "Looks like she's taking a time out!"
"I don't know but we better go and find out," replied Gallantmon.
***************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
Omega X looks right up at the hanging cocoon containing the original D-Reaper. He turns his attention back over to Metalla X.
"Matt. I say we should go and cut the cord on her cocoon too. Matt? Um, earth to Matt?!" Are you there buddy?"
Metalla X looked on over at the original D-reaper as he looks back to when she was angry after a confrontation with a pair of digimon poachers.
Flashback
D-Reaper collapsed onto the ground with her hands over her head as if something was taking control of her mind. It was her rage that was building up from within her. The anger that she was enduring was unbearable as pain. Steam starts blasting from her head and gathers a small cloud over her. Her body also started to glow a crimson shade color and there was a low humming sound coming everything her body pulsed.
Mummymon and Black Gatomon could only look on towards the cloud in horror. The lifeless smog began to materialize. Mummymon goes rushing back over towards D-Reaper, but was too late to save her. The steam now was starting to form limbs and a body. Within a quick blink of an eye, the new figure was formed.
The new creature stood before the D-Reaper, it had a dull gray-brown skin color and a very thin body. It also had the same attire that the D-Reaper had on. But instead of having that of a cute little girl's face, this one was ugly and looked more like a witch. D-Reaper looks forwards and was gazing up none other than the evil manifestation form of her evilness. All of that rage and hatred had created this new creature, the evil corrupted form of the D-Reaper.
The evil one turns in a lifeless puddle and flows underneath the legs of D-Reaper. She looks down and screams as the evil one started to rise up and engulf her being.
The evil one started to take shape with the D-Reaper within her body. D-Reaper's metamorphosis was now beginning to take place. Suddenly, there was red steam coming out from her head and arms, creating a thick cloud surrounding her. As soon as it dissipates, a new D-Reaper was formed. But this one was pure evil with no traces of innocence on the outside. She almost looks like the combination of the two D-Reapers. Only this time, the feature of the single being was different.
The body of the D-Reaper had a rather muscular appearance. Her skin was still red much like the D-Reaper. Her eyes were still giving off a misty, purple glow. But now her gloves and her school skirt was now replaced by armored tank top and a pair of pants with a belt-buckle reading with the 'D' insignia on the center.
End of Flashback
Metalla X's eyes were widened like never before as he held out clenched fists and stared right up at the hanging cocoon and into the eyes of the original D-Reaper.
"I saw the whole transformation back in the after life. I saw everything unfold. It was the most gruesome sight I have ever seen. I never felt such energy, dark and empty."
"So, that's what happened?" Gatomon said.
"How strange. So the D-Reaper actually had two personalities: a good one and a dark one," Kari stated.
"It must have been. I wonder if every single digimon that D-Reaper had absorbed are in here as well."
"No!" a voice calls out with anger.
The two warriors, the girl and the feline turned around in shock as they saw D-Reaper rising out from a marsh-lik pool behind them. D-Reaper quickly starts powering up like never before and starts screaming out with anger.
"It's your fault that I lost my power! I lost every attribute of the warriors that I absorbed into my being! It's your fault that I lost the powers! Now I'm going to kill you all!"
"You see, Matt?! This is what we get for you refusing to wear the Gosen earring!" exclaimed Omega X, "You let your pride get the best of you once again like always!"
"Ha. But then again, you two aren't able to fuse with one another anymore. This should be a more easy task for me to accomplish." "Would you two stop that senseless bickering?!" Kari exclaimed.
"Now kiss and make up!" snapped Gatomon. "We don't have time for that crap!"
D-Reaper goes jumping out from the water and lands right in front of the two fusion warriors. Omega X and Metalla X responded as they exploded with bright golden auras surrounding their bodies. They both turned to face the D-Reaper. Omega X extends his hand out and a ball of energy was starting to form.
"D-Reaper! I swear I'm going to blow you up from the inside out if you don't get back! I'm warning you!"
"What? You wouldn't?!"
"Why not? I'm planning on blasting our way out through your damn head! I'm giving you this final warning. Take heed of it or else."
"Ha! Or else what?! You were going kick my ass?"
The D-Reaper was starting to laugh hysterically, and not showing any signs of intimidation on her face. Omega X simply smirks and shoots out a ki blast into a nearby chamber wall they were in, but the blast didn't even seem to have affected it in anyway.
Omega X looks on with shock as he turns over towards D-Reaper, who was now pointing to her own head.
"You aren't able to do any real damage to me since you're smaller than a bunch of fleas."
"Looks like we're going to have to find a way out after we've defeated D-Reaper," Omega X said as he powers further up. "Kari! We'll need Mystic Celesta! Now!"
"Right!"
Kari pulls her D-3 out and it unleashes a bright white column of light around the girl and the feline digimon. They were then pulled together and merged into the blonde-haired Amazon goddess warrior named Mystic Celesta. She powers up with a holy aura around her presence.
"You too, Matt!"
Metalla X nods in agreement and then follows suit with Omega X and Mystic Celesta. D-Reaper was laughing hysterically once again as she crossed her arms.
"You three stand no chance against me. Face it; you're nothing more than a bunch of insects to me. I really don't want to delete you just yet. I want to humor myself by kicking you around like a bunch of wastes that you truly are."
"Oh yeah! We're determined to try! Even if you've beaten us to a bloody pulp," the two warriors shouted in unison, "Bring it on, freak!"
They go charging right for D-Reaper, who simply just strikes them both down and sends them flying off into the opposite direction. D-Reaper cracks her knuckles and goes stretching out, as a way to taunt her adversaries. Mystic Celesta flies out towards D-Reaper and starts striking her with the Omega Blade. However, D-Reaper was moving around fro each slash attempt.
"You're power has diminished the last time we've fought," D-Reaper promptly stated. "Since I absorbed you, I've gained knowledge on your techniques."
"Try me!"
D-Reaper cupped her hands together and shoots out a powerful blast that knocked Mystic Celesta back. D-Reaper chuckled as she slowly approaches her adversary.
"I think you call that you're Holy Beam, am I right?"
"You hit the nail right on the head," the female warrior muttered.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The four megas were running along through the forest as they were pushing away tree branches and pieces of rubble away to get further along within the distance. They stopped as Cyberleomon lifted his head into the air and began to detect a ki nearby.
"What is it, Leomon?" asked Sakuyamon.
"She's very close from here. The D-Reaper is very close by. I'm able to sense her ki. It's just ahead. Lets go."
As soon as they started pushing their way through several large bushes, they looked up to see the D-Reaper standing on a fallen building stand. It arched out in a sort of hill, which D-reaper found to stand on.
"What is she doing? Why is she just standing there?" Mega Gargomon asked. "Maybe she's thinking some pleasant thoughts. That always works, even for a psychotic bitch like herself."
"I don't know. But I don't like the looks of it," said Gallantmon, "It seems that she's planning on her next attack while we just stand here and watch."
"She must have reverted back into her less powerful form," said Cyberleomon, "I can tell since she already lost a great deal of power after her warriors she absorbed were released from within her brain."
"Makes perfect sense. So what now?" asked Mega Gargomon.
"We wait."
Just then, Mummymon and Black Gatomon came popping their heads out from a nearby bush as they gazed over towards the D-Reaper. They were just as confused as anybody at the very moment.
"Why is she just standing there like some sort of statue?"
"I don't know, Mummymon. Dee is up to something and I'm not about to find out what."
"So, what do you suggest we do?"
"Sit and wait."
"That's it? We just sit on our asses and watch?"
"Unless you want to go out there and disturb Dee while she's sleeping, then be my guest."
"No. I think I'll stick to waiting for now. I'm interested to see what happens from here."
They watched on as D-Reaper stood on the platform while looking on with her eyes closed, as if she were meditating and concentrating on the battle itself from within.

"So, you got any idea what's going on, Gosenzomon?"
"None whatsoever."
"X?"
"Not yet. I'll need to search this one out. D-Reaper has closed all of her thoughts. Not even I can penetrate through that wall."
The two Supreme guardians and the masked warrior looked on through the viewing orb. They were watching D-Reaper simply standing on the platform of the fallen building with her eyes closed.
****************************************************************************************
D-Reaper's Brain
The three charged-up fusion warriors attempt a second assault upon the evil D-Reaper and charge like never before. Omega X managed to bash his knee into D-Reaper hard in the stomach. Metalla X comes flying out of nowhere and stomps on D-Reaper's head. Mystic Celesta delivered a powerful spinning wheel kick to the D-Reaper's exposed neck.
Omega X was getting ready to throw an energy blast at her, but the D-Reaper suddenly vanishes within the marsh-like water, and reemerges in another spot. She quickly grabs both male warriors and smashes their heads together, which managed to stun them both. Their eyes became glazed over with stars spinning around their heads. D-Reaper was starting to laugh at the move that she was able to pull off on two powerful warriors.
"Ha! I made you two look! You look nothing more than a bunch of pansies than skilled warriors! Don't make me laugh."
"You witch!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
D-Reaper turns as Mystic Celesta grinds the monster's face in with a hard punch. D-Reaper goes tumbling back from the female's powerful fist.
"Are you guys okay?!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
"We're just. Just as soon we clear the cobwebs out," Omega X replied to his sister's call.
Now starting to get furious, the two warriors climbed back onto their feet and charged right back at D-Reaper. But this time, they both went for kicks at the very same time together. With one double-team kick, they managed to send D-Reaper sailing back. They then stood, face-to-face, as they fired a powerful blast of energy together. It managed to work and it quickly blew D-Reaper into pieces. They then separated and began to blast away every single little piece of chaos scattered across the room.
"Way to go, you guys!" cheered Mystic Celesta.
"There! That's the last of her! She should be dead now," said Metalla X.
But just as he said that, there was a loud, maniacal laughter being heard from within. The warriors looked up as they raced out to find the source of the voice, but found no evidence of the source.
"You can't find me fools! You don't realize where you are at this very moment! You are inside of me, the D-Reaper. Since you are inside of me, I am what you call 'immortal'. I can never die!"
"Ugh, I can't stand that laugh. Makes me want to slap the shit outta her," Omega X muttered.
As soon as she continued laughing, the D-Reaper materializes at the top of the ceiling. They both sent blasts at it but it quickly phased away. The laughing from the monster continued on, which started to further infuriate Metalla X. He looks on as D-Reaper emerges from the slime with a rather devious look on her face. Metalla X grows more and more angry as he finally snapped and lost it.
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP, D-REAPER!"
"Yamato! Don't let her get to you!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
With that said, the enraged warrior shot out a barrage of ki-blasts over at the D-Reaper. But all he was doing was disrupting the cocoons and damaging the room itself.
"No! You have to calm down, Matt! Please stop it! You're just making it worse," Mystic Celesta exclaimed. "Don't let your pride and anger blind you!"
"Chill out! We can't attack head-on like that," Omega X said. "Just calm down for a minute."
D-Reaper goes appearing upside down and starts swinging around, like a pendulum on a grandfather's clock, from the top of the ceiling.
"I'm up here you fools! Tick, tock, tick tock. You three are going to die. You're going to die. Ha. Ha. Ha."
Omega X quickly powered up and forms a sphere contained of ki. He then throws out a huge ki blast right over to the D-Reaper. It seems to have tore a hole right through the ceiling, but then a massive D-Reaper head suddenly pops its way through. Then, from the slime behind them, a giant hand comes popping out and punches the three warriors. Then its shoots out a ki blast right over at them. D-Reaper quickly reforms back into her original state.
Suddenly, slime was starting to consume Metalla X as he began crying out.
"Tai! Kari! Help! It's sucking me away!"
"Matt! Hold on!" Mystic Celesta cries out. "Tai! Go and save, Matt! I'll hold off this bitch!"
"Right! Over and out!"
Omega X rushed over and tightly grabs Metalla X around his hands. Mystic Celesta rushed over towards the grinning D-Reaper. The monster started laughing as she began speaking once again.
"Ha! Ha! Now I'm going to absorb you three and I'll become the ultimate force in the multi-universes!"
Mystic Celesta phases in front of D-Reaper and slices her in half with the Omega Blade. However, the halved pieces started sinking through the ground, which caught Mystic Celesta off guard. She turns and sensed where the D-Reaper was going to strike next. The monster was aiming for both Omega X and Metalla X.
"Oh no! Guys! She's after you!"
The blob then began to engulf Metalla X's feet, as Omega X goes reaching out towards his comrade. He goes to blast the slime away, pulls Metalla X free and starts flying away. D-Reaper peruses them as she lashes out her hair, which wraps tightly around Omega X's neck and pulls him back. He lets go of his grip and drops Metalla X down to the ground.
"Tai! Matt!"
"Now I'm planning on taking your powers now. Watch as I shall demonstrate."
She waves her up around and causes the purple ground to swell up and begin to rise up into wave, as if prepares to engulf both warriors. But Omega X was still able to grab Metalla X and began dashing away from the scene. D-Reaper goes hovering into the air above them as she began to laugh and taunt at them as if she were acting like a child again. Omega X growls angrily and charges up at her, but she moves out of the way and phases out into the wall beside her. Omega X managed to blast at her, splattering her remains all over the floor. But she still manages to reformat herself.
Tai!" Mystic Celesta cries out to her elder brother.
"Idiot! Remember, you can't kill me! All you are doing is wasting you're energy, which allows me the opportunity to take advantage of you when you're at you're most vulnerable frame of mind."
With that said, D-Reaper delivers a kick to Omega X, which sent him flying down onto the floor. He was resting on the floor while beginning to regain his composure. He tries hiding but the D-Reaper sticks her head from through the head. Omega X gasps and goes flying off with D-Reaper in pursuit of him. She grabs him with her hair, but then Omega X turns as he blasted her head off and managed to decapitate her. But as quickly as he did that, her head managed to regenerate itself.
"No!"
D-Reaper turns around as Mystic Celesta went for another blade swipe. However, D-Reaper saw her coming and melted through the ground. The monster reappears behind Mystic Celesta and executes an elbow shot to the spine. Mystic Celesta was stunned after feeling the devastating affects of the blow. She falls to her knees with her eyes glazed over.
"No! Kari!" Omega X cries out.
Metalla X managed to regain consciousness, and caught sight of both D-Reaper and Omega X from a short distance away.
"I must commend you, Omega X. You've really managed not to use so much of you're energy. But it still won't save you and you can't defeat me. Just look what I did to you're sister, Hikari."
"Oh, I have plenty of fuel left in the tank, D-Reaper. Just you wait and see."
Omega X starts hurling a barrage of ki blasts but they only managed to hit the walls instead of her. D-Reaper laughed while looking on at the blasts crashing into the walls. Just then, she realized that several of the blasts were being directed towards the cocoon containing the original D-Reaper. Now alarmed by this, D-Reaper goes rushing in between the blasts and covered the cocoon, allowing the blast to hit her instead of the cocoon. It looked as thought she were trying to protect her former alter ego from taking a devastating blow.
Metalla X looks right over towards D-Reaper, who was desperately covering the cocoon, and grinned. He had an idea that quickly crossed his mind.
"So, that's it?"
Omega X paced carefully across the floor, with an exhausted look on his face and his hand stretched out in front. He drops down to one knee, breathing heavily. D-Reaper formed right out of the ground in front of him with an evil grin. She began laughing and started to speak.
"Looks like you didn't have enough power to defeat me at all. What a damn shame."
She extended a hand right in front of Omega X's face and forms a sphere of ki right in the palm of her hand. It was moving slowly towards Omega X's face as she planned on disintegrating him into data. She started savoring the moment. Mystic Celesta was regaining her composure and focused her sight towards D-Reaper. She quickly opened them as she watched her brother preparing to meet his end.
"Tai! No!"
"Now, you shall die by my hand, Omega X. Rest in pieces…"
"Hey, ugly!"
Just then, Metalla X's voice goes calling out, which catches her attention. She and Omega X look over to see the warrior holding out the stalk that was attached to the original D-reaper's cocoon onto the floor itself. Mystic Celesta was relieved by this turn of events.
"Yes, thank god. You're a life savior, Matt!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
"D-Reaper! Check this out!"
With that said, Metalla X began pulling at the stalk attached to the floor. D-Reaper gasped and was starting to freak out like never before.
"No! Don't do that! Stop it!"
"What's her deal?" Mystic Celesta pondered.
He kept his firm grip on the stalk and started to pull on it, He waved his hand over towards D-Reaper as if telling her to 'just bring it'. But she was too afraid to approach. If she made on false move towards him, he would most likely pull it out and release all of the original D-Reaper's power.
"Metalla X! Don't do it! If pull that stem out, then there won't be anyway for me to become myself again! Please, I implore you! You're going to regret it! I won't be me anymore!"
"Huh? You won't be you anymore?" pondered Omega X.
"Is that so? Well then, I guess we'll just have to see what happens if I do pull it," Metalla X sneered. "I wonder if you'll change back into that dumb child again."
"NO!"
Metalla X seemed completely unfazed from her pleas and continued to tug on the stem desparately. D-Reaper couldn't even do anything now that the cocoon has been freed. D-Reaper drops down onto the floor. She starts to melt into a puddle as the two warriors looked on.
"What? What just happened? I bet you its another one of her tricks," said Omega X.
"I don't know. It seems much different this time."
"Let's hope so, for our sake," replied Mystic Celesta.
****************************************************************************************

D-Reaper's eyes popped open as she cried out. Her actual body started to cough out with steam. She was crying out like never before, which was enough to frighten the most unfortunate souls. Mummymon, Black Gatomon and the four megas watch on in shock. They apparently didn't have any idea of what was going on.
"Whoa! What's bothering her? Maybe a little indigestion," Terriermon remarked in Mega Gargomon's thoughts.
"So, they've finally done it now," muttered Cyberleomon.
"What do you mean?" Jeri asked. "They've finally done what?"
"Just watch."
****************************************************************************************
Inside D-Reaper
D-Reaper's body was beginning to melt with drips of slime falling down from the ceiling.
"Tai! We have to get out of here now! Now! Let's go!" Mystic Celesta calls out
Omega X replies with a nod as they both started to fly out through the body as the D-Reaper continued to writhe in pain. They each picked up the cocoons containing their friends as they fled through D-Reaper's body, but they were not very sure of where they were going. Omega X picks up Davis and Veemon. Metalla X carried along Buddamon. Mystic Celesta carries the cocoons containing her boyfriend, TK, and his partner, Patamon.
"Hey! This whole place is shaking and about to erupt! We better find our way out of here!" Omega X exclaimed.
"Yeah! I'm beginning to feel the heat flaring up in this place!" Mystic Celesta said.
"I'm assuming that D-Reaper is reverting back to one of her original forms," replied Metalla X, "I really have no earthly idea."
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper continued to cry out in pain, and steam began shooting out from out of tiny holes forming on her head. The steam was forming a large cloud.
****************************************************************************************
Inside of D-Reaper
As the trio was racing through the tunnel out of the D-Reaper, Omega X noticed that the environment within was getting hotter. Steam was beginning to shoot out from the holes on the ground. They have to get out of there as soon as possible before they get fried into a crisp. They hurried onward and attempted to ignore the raging heat. Davis and Veemon's cocoons started to slip out of Omega X's hand, but he still managed to catch before it fell to the smoldering ground. The warriors looked down to see a large column of some steam starting to shot out from below. They were barely able to maneuver to the side and sigh a big relief. They looked up to see where the steam went to and noticed a tunnel that seemed to be connected to the outside.
Omega X, Mystic Celesta and Metalla X nodded to each other as they raced upwards to the tunnel, towards the light, but the opening closes up before they could reach it.
"Damn you, D-Reaper! Let us out!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"She's out of control. Her body is breaking down," Omega X replied, "We have to get out of here, D-Reaper! Let us out! Now!"
"Tai. You ought to know that she won't listen to you. We'll have to hurry before we become steamed vegetables!" the female warrior replied.
"Ok! I've got an idea! Here goes! Open Sesame!"
"Bah, how brilliant, Tai," Metalla X muttered sarcastically.
"Oh brother. This is so embarrassing. I rather not die like this," Mystic Celesta said with a sweat drop coming down her forehead.
They hear a loud rumbling noise and realize that another shot of steam was about to come out. Omega X looks down and then looks right over to Metalla.
"Matt! Kari! Get back against the walls!"
Omega X goes preparing to form a ki blast. The column of steam comes jetting up, and Omega X waits for the pore to open up to the outside before blasting the steam down with his energy blast. They managed to escape out through the hole, which was on D-Reaper's head, and finally made it outside. They were all instantly returned to large and normal size. Davis, Veemon, TK, Patamon, and Buddamon also appear with Omega X, Mystic Celesta and Metalla X. They were each free from their cocoons.
"Look, guys! People popcorn!" Omega X exclaimed.
"Ugh, what is he on? Kari, has he been smoking that shit?" Metalla X asked.
"I have no idea and I don't want to find out."
****************************************************************************************
Planet Shin
The two higher powers were starting to celebrate over what Omega X and Metalla X had just done. Not only have they managed to save their friends but also have weakened the D-Reaper.
"All right! They did it!" X exclaimed. "They've managed to get their friends out of there!"
"Whew and here I was beginning to doubt their chances," Shintomon said.
"So, how about some booze after this?" Gosenzomon said. "I haven't had one good booze for a thousand millennia and please make it the good shit."
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The four Tamer megas were also happy to see them as they gathered out towards the fallen heroes. Omega X, Mystic Celesta and Metalla X look over to them.
"Wow! You guys did it! You rescued everybody and weakened D-Reaper!" Gallantmon exclaimed, "Now we can all sigh a big relief."
"That's for sure," Mega Gargomon said. "You know what, Henry? We deserve a huge vacation after this is all said and done. I could use a trip to the Bahamas."
"Oh, Terriermon…"
The fusion warrior trio went over to place their comrades on the ground. Omega X placed Davis and Veemon on the ground. Mystic Celesta kneeled over to stay by TK and Patamon's side. Metalla X leaned Buddamon next to a tree.
"So, how was it like in there?!" Gallantmon asked, using Takato's frantic voice.
"Trust me, Takato. It's something you never want to visit on a good day," Omega X replied.
"We're just glad you got the others out just fine," Sakuyamon said, through Rika's voice.
"So, where are the others?" Mystic Celesta asked. "I mean are Sora and the others doing fine?"
"Yeah. They're over at a temporary office building since Hypnos has been engulfed by the D-Reaper mass," said Mega Gargomon.
"What about Demon? Is that creep still around?" Omega X asked.
"We took care of him," Jeri replied. "Pikkan finished him off and we had help from some other strangers. They were quite nice."
"Other strangers?" Metalla X pondered.
"As for Pikkan, he's being tended with care where the others are waiting. We better get going," Cyberleomon stated.
"Right! Let's move out!" Omega X cries out.
Just as the warriors were about to depart from the park area, they all turned and felt an uneasy ki rising from over towards the hill. Their eyes were widened in fear.
"Oh no. Here we go again," Mystic Celesta muttered.
[Kid Buu's English theme]
They entire group turned as they watched the D-Reaper hunched over with veins pulsating all over her body. The monster let out horrifying demonic screams as she thrashed around and attempted to control herself.
"NO! NOT NOW! NOT NOW! YOU CAN'T RETURN! I WON'T LET YOU! AHHH!"
"Geez, what now?! She needs anger management," Mega Gargomon muttered through Terriermon's smart mouth.
"I WON'T LET YOU! I WON'T! YOU CAN'T TAKE OVER! ARGH!"
"Why is her power increasing instead of decreasing?!" Metalla X thought.
D-Reaper's screams echoed throughout the quiet city of Shinjuku. It would seem possible for the entire planet to listen to her demonic screams.
"AAHHHH! I HATE THOSE INSOLENT CRAPHEADS! THEY DID THIS TO ME! IT'S THEIR FAULT! NOW THEY ARE GOING TO REGRET IT! I WARNED THEM!"
The group gasped as they watched the D-Reaper's size increase. Her body was now over muscular and it seemed the D-Reaper wasn't able to support such a bulky body. She lets out a cough and started screaming out. She starts thrashing around. Suddenly, a dark red aura was forming around her body. Her eyes became possessed by an unknown evil source.
"She's changing!" Omega X exclaimed. "She's twice as big as she was before!"
"No… Watch. It's the other way around," Cyberleomon muttered.
"YOU WILL REGRET THIS MISTAKE! IT'S YOUR ENTIRE FAULT! AHHH!"
Within seconds, the D-Reaper started shrinking down in size. Her muscle bulk started to shrink and her screams were fading away. She shrunk down to the size of an adolescent child. A teenage girl's cries now replaced her semi-manly screams. Her arms were skinny, along with her body. Despite all of that, she retained that same menacing evil glare on her face. Her hair was streaked along her backside and her clothes remained intact. Her eyes let off a mystical purple glow. The dark red aura was pulsating throughout her new body.
"Look, she's so puny!" Mega Gargomon cries out. "Talk about a regression period. We've just seen an example of one."
"No. Her power is still as menacing," Cyberleomon stated. "She hasn't weakened!"
"WHAT?!"
***************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital World
Shintomon looks on with a rather horrified look on his face and was realizing what was going on.
"Oh no… I can't be… not again… She's turned back to the way she was!"
"What do you mean back to normal?" Gosenzomon asked. "I don't understand this. I haven't seen this form before. There's something you haven't told me, am I right?"
"Yes, sir."
"Shit! You guys better get the hell out of there! That form maybe weaker compared to the monster that absorbed War Dramon and Mystic Celesta, but this one is the deadliest D-Reaper. It's her real form! Tai! You and the others have to get out of there now!"
***************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
Omega X and Metalla X both watched with baffled looks on their faces. They look to see D-Reaper transforming in a rather painful way. The new form of D-Reaper was much smaller and younger-looking, with shorter hair. She looked exactly like her first evil form with the pants, the tank top, but she looked more like a teenage girl.
"So, you were getting worried, weren't you?" Metalla X asked.
"Ha. You had white knuckles and you know it," said Omega X.
"Guys! Can it! I don't like the looks of this," Mystic Celesta muttered.
"You're correct, Kari," Cyberleomon replied. "I sense pure evil in this D-Reaper. It's unlike the other forms. This one is the purest evil I've ever gazed my eyes upon."
The Tamers looked on with amusement, as were Omega X and Metalla X. Now D-Reaper was smaller than she was before, but still looked quite menacing despite her small stature.
[Kid Buu's theme ends]
***************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe
Shintomon was rather speechless with fright, instead of amused. It was as if he had seen this smaller form of D-Reaper before. Gosenzomon turns right over to Shintomon with a questionable look.
"Huh? Tell me? Tell me exactly why you just said just like the way before."
Shintomon didn't answer as he still looked through the viewing orb with a terrified look as if he were about to choke.
"I… I…"
"It's okay, Shintomon. You can tell us," X replied. "What's the story behind this form?"
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
D-Reaper was standing on top of the cliff while looking out towards the floating green sphere, known as the Kernal sphere with great interest. Her face was rather emotionless at the very moment as if she were concentrating.
Mummymon was looking on over at the newly transformed D-Reaper with a shocked look on his face. Just as he was about to run off, Black Gatomon spoke up.
"Dee looks different. She transformed into another form. She looks like a little kid. I haven't seen this new form before."
"Really? That's nice. Now can we go now?"
"Not so fast. She looks like just a mere teenage girl. She did premature after losing all of that power."
"Really? Then she's no threat. I mean c'mon, she was a bit harmless as a little girl and being a teenage girl is no different, right?"
"I'm not too sure about that one, Mummymon. She could be just as dangerous."
"What do you mean?"
"I still sense a great evil in Dee and it's greater than anybody would even imagine. It even makes the first Dee look like a Cabbage Patch Doll."
Omega X, Mystic Celesta, Metalla X and the four Tamer megas were just as shocked as they gazed over at the newly transformed D-Reaper. Impmon was slowly coming to and looked up to realize that he was still carried by Sakuyamon.
"Huh? Sakuyamon…"
"Save your strength, Impmon."
Omega X goes over towards Mystic Celesta. He kneels in front of her and lifts Patamon in his arms. Suddenly, TK was coming to his senses. He looks up to Omega X and Mystic Celesta.
"Where am I? Was that just a dream?" TK asked.
"We're finally out of there, TK!" Mystic Celesta said as she hugged her boyfriend.
"Kari?"
"It's a long story, but I'll explain it as clear as I can."
"Ooook…"
"Great news, Matt! Everybody still seems to be in good condition. Thank god we didn't lose them."
"Yeah, well that's a relief," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice.
"Hey, Matt. Tai was just talking to you. Hello?" Mega Gargomon replied, under Henry's voice. "Geez, he has bad hearing."
Metalla X ignored the cynical dog's remark and was focusing his attention upon the newly transformed D-Reaper, who was standing still as a statue on top of the building platform. Something was crossing the twisted monster's mind while gazing up over at the floating Kernal sphere.
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe
The two Supreme guardians and the masked man were focusing their eyes upon the new D-Reaper that was on view of the orb. Shintomon had a horrified look on his face and almost wanted to choke out of fear. Gosenzomon didn't quite understand what was wrong with his younger ancestor and spoke up.
"Now you just said that D-Reaper was back to the way she was. Tell me, can you explain why you even said that."
"Enough of the suspense. It's killing me!" X exclaimed. "We need to know! What's the secret behind this new D-Reaper!"
"Very well. I'll tell you everything that I know. You weren't around that time since you were still sealed away, Gosenzomon. X, you weren't even brought into existence during this time period. It all began many years ago…"
Flashback
"It began long, long ago, when digital kind was still at it's infancy. There were five Supreme guardians that once watched over the entire digital universe, but more specifically Planet Shinto."
The once, lush Planet Shinto was teeming with life and the five guardians happily guarded it from the threat of the forces of darkness that tried to overtake it. Since there were four sections to the planet itself, there were four guardians that protected each guadrant. It was much similar to the four sovereigns of the digital world. There was an East, West, North and South guardian. Each had enough power to defeat beings such as Burizalor. Each was also stronger than the four sovereigns. Shintomon was the guardian of the Eastern quadrant, much like Azulongmon. However, Shintomon was at the top of the order while Azulongmon was merely below the Higher Ones. Specifically the order went from Azulongmon, then to the Eastern Higher One and finally to Shintomon, who holds complete authority over his quadrant.
The other three supreme guardians were assigned to guard each quadrant, and each was very good at handling their jobs. However, they weren't the ones in charge of the operation. There was an even greater power in the form of the pure, yet childish Grand Guardian. Despite her gentle nature, she had a power like none other and was considered the most powerful being of the Order. Even the four guardians themselves didn't dare challenge her authority. But unlike many higher powers, the Grand Guardian would rather just sit around and play like there was no tomorrow. She didn't even have care in the world since no evil power was strong enough to defeat her.
However, that would soon all change. There arrived an evil wizard by the name of Black Magimon, a very powerful sorcerer, who brought nothing but destruction and chaos. But since he was always unsuccessful in overthrowing the Grand Guardian, the evil wizard came up with a course of action. It was a plan that would change the plane of the Digital Universe.
"It was then that Black Magimon found a deletion program in the form of a blob mass. This program was called the D-Reaper, which was originally a deletion program to erase anything that has exceeded its boundaries. Think of it as a digital vacuum cleaner. But it never intended on wiping out an entire digital race. It was Black Magimon who took a sample of the program and he used his black magic to mutate it into the evil D-Reaper you see today."
Black Magimon sent out D-Reaper throughout many ancient digimon civilizations and systematically started wiping them out. D-Reaper required a lot of power, so she would absorb each digimon she had slain. Black Magimon was nearly successful in wiping out every trace of digital life form that were was. But the thing about D-Reaper was that she went so out of control at times, she almost killed the wizard on several occasions. Due to his warnings of sealing her up, the D-Reaper did as she was told and continued her wave of destruction. D-Reaper eventually grown bored and wanted something else to destroy.
"That was when Black Magimon sent the D-Reaper against the four supreme guardians, for the sport of new challenge. The west supreme guardian known as Setsuna was powerful in her own right. She used her element of ice to put down the evil monster, but she simply couldn't even put a single dent on the D-Reaper. She was then killed as a result and D-Reaper uploaded her data. From, there D-Reaper moved onto the northern section where he killed off the northern supreme guardian, Dythros. D-Reaper went on to battle the southern guardian, Hades, and he was actually putting up a fight against the D-Reaper. But in the end, he became just another victim. D-Reaper eventually absorbed him."
The D-Reaper slowly started to change from her original, teenage girl form after absorbing the southern guardian. She then transformed into her much larger, stronger and muscular incarnation.
"And last but not least, I was the only guardian left besides the Grand Guardian. I was the youngest and least experienced at that time. D-Reaper nearly killed me since I was so defenseless in fighting back against that hideous monster."
D-Reaper battled the last supreme guardian on Planet Shin. D-Reaper charges and slams Shintomon right into the base of a nearby cliff. D-Reaper then shoots a ki-blast at him, and Shintomon, trapped underneath fallen rocks, was unable to move out of the way. Suddenly the Grand Guardian appears between Shintomon and D-Reaper, shielding him from the blast.
"Just as I was about to be finished, the Grand Guardian managed to arrive in the nick of time. She saved my life and she was prepared to face the D-Reaper herself. Then came the most horrible scene I've ever laid my eyes on. I can never forget the day the Grand Guardian was lost forever."
The Grand Guardian started to create a barrier that manages to reflect the blast right back at the D-Reaper. Then she spits out an energy blast that quickly hurtled right through D-Reaper and caused the monster to explode into tiny pieces. However, those tiny pieces of the chaos mass started to move out and engulfed the Grand Guardian in the process.
"I was so powerless to stop the D-Reaper. I tried to save the Grand Guardian. But in the end, it was all too late."
The Grand Guardian was absorbed and the transformation of D-Reaper was completed. But it wasn't, as anyone would expect. D-Reaper transformed into a little girl, the D-Reaper's weakest form.
"Since The Grand Guardian was pure and possessed the heart of a child, the D-Reaper was less evil and destructive. D-Reaper's evil was suppressed by the Grand Guardian's good. Even Black Magimon was shocked at the turn of events. He literally wanted to cry himself to death. He was in shame."
"Ack! Why did you absorb her?! I thought I told you to leave the Grand Guardian with me! Now look at you, you're an embarrassment,"Black Magimon said.
"Me want to play. Let's go and play tag,"D-Reaper replied with a rather childish voice.
"All right then. We can go back home and play. Then I can bake you some cookies!"
"Yum. Yum. Cookies! I wonder if they'll be any good!"
"If you promise me to be obedient, I'll bake you cookies every single day and we can play."
"Goodie! Goodie! Ok! I promise!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Black Magimon was delighted to have the monster under his control. He used her for cause more destruction and kept his promise to feed her and play with her. Eventually, Black Magimon couldn't take anymore of her rebellious nature and sealed D-Reaper up. I managed to step in and destroy Black Magimon. And now here we stand after all of this recent chaos and destruction that has ensued."
End of Flashback
"Damn! That's some story! I can't believe I didn't anything about this! I feel so old…"
"Don't be ashamed. You really didn't need to see those turn of events unfold. But now here we stand about to watch the D-Reaper cause another wave of chaos."
"If only those guys finished her off before she could revert back to her original form!" X stated.
"Not good! Not good! Not good!"
"Yes. Now the original, most evil form of the D-Reaper came come upon us. We must now prepare for the worst to come. The Tamers and the Digi-Destined better be ready. That's all I can say…"
"No! They better get their asses out of there now!" X thought with frustration.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The D-Reaper quickly phases out from the top platform of the fallen building and goes racing off into the skies above. Omega X and Metalla X both felt the movement of ki, followed by the Tamers megas. They all looked up and saw the D-Reaper flying up towards the Kernal sphere.
"Take a look at that! The D-Reaper is flying over towards the Kernal sphere!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"What is she planning on doing and what would she want with the sphere," pondered Omega X, "Matt, we better a look at this. Kari! C'mon!"
"Huh? D-Reaper?"
"Yeah."
"Hold on, Tai!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
As soon they all turned to look up, the D-Reaper quickly phases on top of the floating Kernal sphere. She goes glaring out towards the city of West Shinjuku and then towards space. She stood motionless there for a few and then a smile forms across her face. Then that smile twisted into a sneer. She then lets out a horrifying scream that echoed itself throughout the city itself.
Everybody started covering their ears. Everybody, from the Tamers, the Destined, the Monster Makers, the Wild Bunch and even beings from other worlds. D-Reaper was definitely making her presence felt. The echo had the most ear-piercing sound effect anyone could ever hear. Windows were shattering throughout the city of Shinjuku.
Omega X, Mystic Celesta and Metalla X covered their ears, as well were the Tamers. Glass windows started to shatter and fallen building rubble were pushed across by the tremendous force.
Lightning goes streaking from the skies above, the entire planet shook and buildings were starting to get demolished. Everybody across the planet was feeling its effects. Then a large portal opened up as the dimensional fabric opened up once again. It leads into the alternate digital world they had recently explored.
"Oh no! She just opened a hole into the digital world!" exclaimed Mega Gargomon. "Not a good sign!"
"Quick! We have to stop her!" Sakuyamon cried out.
D-Reaper finally managed to stop screaming and then reverts back into 'calm mode'. She stood motionless for another few moment and held out her hand. A energy blast goes shooting out from the palm of her hand as it goes streaking towards the opened hole.
Omega X, Mystic Celesta and Metalla X panic, realizing that D-Reaper was going to blow up the alternate digital world. Metalla X goes shooting out a ki-blast of his own and narrowly preventing the apocalyptic blast from penetrating the surface of that digital dimension.
"Whoa! I can't believe the D-Reaper is so intended on destroying the digital world!" Cyberleomon exclaimed, "She must not allowed to do so! The four sovereigns are helpless against such a apocalyptic force!"
"Plus, that force would have been enough to level this our own planet!" Omega X exclaimed. "Nice shot, man!"
"Yeah. That's for sure," said Gallantmon, "Even if we're not strong enough, we should be able to hold her off!"
D-Reaper turns her head towards the group and coughed. Metalla X curses out towards the demonic creature.
"Hey, D-Reaper! I know you can hear me! Why don't you fight us instead of trying to blow the digital world up?! C'mon! What are you so afraid of?" Metalla X shouted with rage under his voice. "Come and get some you little coward!"
With that said, D-Reaper turns around and scoffs to herself. She lets out a slight mumble and this manages to set off Metalla X.
"Heh. You're such a gifted speaker," the warrior of friendship replied.
"…I…I…"
"C'mon and spill it, D-Reaper! We don't have all day you know!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
"I...I HATE YOU ALL! NOW I WILL KILL EVERY ONE OF YOU, MAGGOTS! NOW DIE!"
[Dragonball Z "Battle Theme" plays]
As soon as she said that, D-Reaper phases out and catches everyone by surprise. The creature appears behind the fusion trio. Omega X turns as D-Reaper catches him off guard with a fist to the face. Metalla X flies back and tosses multiple ki blasts. D-Reaper catches each of them by swallowing them up. She then released a large gust of steam from her forehead.
"Shit! Our attacks aren't even working!"
Mystic Celesta turns over towards Gallantmon and flies to him. The bio-merged mega was surprised by his mentor's sudden appearance.
"That is you, right Kari?"
"Yep, it's me in the flesh," Mystic Celesta said. You're looking good Sakuyamon. I never thought you had that in you, Rika."
"Well… Hey! Behind you!"
Mystic Celesta turns as D-Reaper swooped down towards her like a falcon ready to capture its prey. Mystic Celesta grabs Gallantmon's hand.
"Takato! Let's give her a double shot attack!"
"Right!"
The two phased away as D-Reaper looks up to find the duo preparing to launch their attacks. Mystic Celesta cups her hands together while forming one of her favorite techniques and Gallantmon readied his shield.
"Holy-"
"Shield of-"
"BEAM!"
"THE JUST!"
The blasts combined into one and shoot it's way through D-Reaper's chest. The demon looked down at her gaping hole chest and laughed satanically.
"No! It didn't work, Kari!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "She's getting mad again, Takato."
"Damn! Here I thought of a stupid strategy!" Mystic Celesta cursed.
D-Reaper continued laughing at her adversary's futile attempts to defeat her. Their attacks were just pitiful to put down the psychotic monster.
"What now?!" Jeri asked frantically.
"Jeri! Grab onto me!" the mega exclaimed.
"NOW PREPARE TO DIE, HUMANS! YOU AND YOU'RE PETS WILL DIE HERE!"
As soon as D-Reaper said that, the digimon watch on as D-Reaper powers up a large sphere of whirling energy in her upheld hand. The group started to panic like never before. The day of apocalypse was soon at hand.
[Final Fantasy VII's "One-Winged Sephiroth" theme plays]
"Shit! I know what she's planning!" Mega Gargomon cursed, under Henry's voice. "She's going for our own planet! That energy sphere will be enough to level this whole planet!"
"You guys! This is a force we can't stop!" Mystic Celesta said. "We don't have the strength to push that sphere back. It's over..."
Now there was a shot of the entire planet and a star-like light forming in the center of Japan. The star started increasing rapidly into a large meteor-like sphere. D-Reaper was not bluffing.
****************************************************************************************
Other side of the Digital Universe
The trio watched the events unfold as X quickly thought of an idea. He turns towards Shintomon and speaks up.
"Shintomon, you can teleport anywhere across the two realities, am I correct?"
"Yes, I was able to go to the real world before. I really didn't use my teleportation since I felt it was unnecessary."
"Unnecessary?"
"Yes."
"Well, this is an emergency. Have me go with you and warn the others. We have to get Sora and the others out of that building!"
"Ah! Yes, I understand now! Place you're right on my shoulder."
"There. I'm ready?"
"Hang on tight!"
With that said, Shintomon quickly vanished from the holy planet and transports himself along with X to earth's dimension.
"I need to get myself one of those. Kids these days with their wacky techniques," Gosenzomon stated.
****************************************************************************************
Earth. West Shinjuku
The Hypnos team and the Monster Makers watched the sphere forming at an unimaginable rate. Their computers started breaking down. The digimon felt the monster's ki growing.
"Biyomon?!"
"It's over, Sora. The D-Reaper is going to destroy this planet!"
"What?!"
"I can't believe that it's over… Humanity has failed," Yamaki muttered while dropping his cigarette lighter.
Suddenly, Shintomon appears out of nowhere with X at his side. Everyone was caught off guard by the duo's sudden appearance.
"Whoa! They just instantly appeared! That's some cool magic you guys got there!" KAzu remarked.
"Cool magic!" Guardromon replied.
"You guys we don't have time! You all need to grab onto me or Shintomon," X explained. "That way we can teleport everyone of you back to Shintomon's planet. Hurry, we don't have time!"
Everyone nodded as they did as they were told. They grabbed onto X and/or Shintomon as they were quickly transported out from the building.
****************************************************************************************
The D-Reaper's sphere was growing larger than the Hypnos building itself. The Tamers and fusion warriors couldn't believe their very own eyes. In just a few moments, their planet was soon about to be wiped out from the plane of existence.
"She's really going to do! She's lost her marbles!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"No! Why?! Why are you doing this, D-Reaper?! You launch that then there will be nothing left! Please, D-Reaper! Don't do it!" Omega X cries out.
"Die…"
As soon as she said that, D-Reaper then proceeded and threw the sphere of energy over towards the entire group. Along with them, the entire planet would be destroyed.
"DIE! YOU ALL WIL DIE!"
Omega X goes and tries to stop the blast but it was much too fast to catch up to, and once he tried to deflect it, it was already too late. The dimensional hole closed up and everybody looked on with horror as they felt the destruction of the digital world. D-Reaper forms a smile across her face and looks down towards her adversaries.
"Takato! Grab Buddamon! Kari, you grab TK and Patamon! Sakuyamon, hold onto Impmon! Matt, you grab Davis and Veemon! Jeri! You better haul ass and jump with Leomon! The rest of you follow me!"
Gallantmon rushed over to the fallen body of Buddamon. He snatches the panda digimon and hops onto Grani. They flew out to gain ahead of Omega X. Mystic Celesta held both TK and Patamon. Metalla X picks up Veemon and Davis. Sakuyamon tightens her grip around Impmon. Cyberleomon flies along with his comrades while holding Jeri in his grasp. Mega Gargomon looked down and saw two small children crying out towards their partner, Impmon.
"Impmon!"
The tiny demon's ears perked as he looked down at what looked like his two Tamers, Ai and Mako.
"Ai?… Mako?"
Mega Gargomon swoops down and snatches the two children up. Impmon was delighted that his Tamers were saved.
"Thank you, whoever you are! You must be Impmon's friend!" Mako cries out.
"Sure. Now hang on tight!"
Time was running out as the massive apocalyptic sphere was drawing nearer towards the group. Omega X attempts to pull off the Time Warp to transport himself and his comrades back to Shintomon's planet.
"Damn! I can't get a clear lock on Shintomon's ki!"
"Fuck! We're screwed!" Metalla X cries out.
Suddenly, Shintomon comes appearing within the speed of light. Metalla X, Omega X and the others were all glad to see the Supreme guardian of the east appear in the nick of time.
"Shintomon!" asked Gallantmon.
"There's no time to explain! You all have to come back to my world now! We'll devise a plan from there," the supreme guardian said.
"Wait! But what about the others?!" asked Mystic Celesta.
"They're all in my world! X and myself managed to round them up just before I got here. Hurry! There's no time to lose!" exclaimed Shintomon.
"All right! Each of you grab onto Shintomon. This is going to be one bumpy ride!" cried out Omega X.
Each of the megas and the warriors touched Shintomon as the supreme guardian started to materialize and phases out from within the human world. The sphere drew closer and closer towards the earth's surface. Everything started to go blank as flashes of images started to appear.
****************************************************************************************
Yami Yugi looks out towards the massive sphere as it finally penetrated the earth's surface. The impact created a shockwave and everything started to explode due to an extreme temperature.
"Yugi. I'm sorry. We've failed…"
****************************************************************************************
Mummymon and Black Gatomon cried out as the surface around them started to boil up.
"It was nice knowing you, buddy!" Mummymon cries. "At least, we'll be in a better place…"
"Nice knowing you, ya stupid idiot."
Just then, Shintomon appears before the duo along with the other passengers. Mummymon grabs onto Shintomon while Black Gatomon held tightly onto the moronic digimon's foot.
"You two have good characters and that shouldn't go to waste," Shintomon responded.
With that said, Shintomon teleports out with everyone aboard. The planet's surface was cracking up and was set to explode within seconds.
****************************************************************************************
There was a shot of entire planet Earth and it seemed rather quiet. That is until the Earth transformed into a molten ball of lava and exploded within a matter of milliseconds. A white flash of light brightened throughout space and the entire planet was reduced to pieces of floating debris.
Yes, for over a billion years, the Earth has been the third planet within the solar system. Today marked the death of the beautiful blue planet. Everyone living creature that once inhabited it was now wiped out of existence. The D-Reaper has finally gotten what it wanted: the extinction of every human being, with the minor exception of a few. Those few were being transported to Shintomon's planet.

Other side of the Digital Universe
Gosenzomon waited nervously along with the rest of the Tamers and the Digi-Destined. The digimon soon felt a presence of large kis about to materialize. Shintomon had returned back with the four Tamers, who already de-evolved from their digimon. Plus Metalla X, Omega X and the fallen heroes had tagged along.
Everyone of the Japanese Digi-Destined came rushing out to greet the arrivals.
"Tai! You're back!" Sora exclaimed.
"Hey, babe. You're looking as good as ever."
"And you've never looked better."
Sora goes running up to Omega X and wraps her arms around her. Mimi did the same for Metalla X.
"I thought I was going to lose you there, Matt. You are still dead, aren't you?"
"Yeah, but don't a dead guy look good as this?"
"No way. Your the hunkiest dead guy I've ever laid my eyes upon."
Sonja runs over to an unconscious Davis and lifts him up. She then started smacking across Davis' face. Davis wakes up with a cry and red, puffy cheeks.
"What the hellw as that for, TJ?! Oh, it's you babe."
"Davis, you big idiot!"
With that said, Sonja hugs Davis tightly and tries not to cry. She didn't want to ruin her reputation and reveal any sort of weaknesses.
"It's good to have you back."
"Likewise, where are we anyway?"
"We're on Shintomon's planet."
"What?! How did we-"
"Pointy ears here is going to explain everything," Sonja replied.
"Hey! Isn't that Mummymon with you?!" exclaimed Cody.
The group all turned around, as they saw none other than Mummymon and Black Gatomon. They both stood with widened eyes and sweat drops coming down their faces.
"Umm, did we come in at the wrong time?" asked Mummymon, "We'll just go for now."
"No, wait. You two stay here. After all, you two also witnessed the battle with the D-reaper. Right?" Shintomon asked.
"Plus aren't you two involved with the D-Reaper?" Henry also managed to ask.
"Um, you could say that…" Black Gatomon said, "But it's a very long story."
Impmon was slowly starting to come to his senses and he looks up ahead to see two small, familiar figures. He instantly opened them, as he saw none other than Ai and Makoto.
"Impmon! Its so good to see you again!" the two children cried in unison.
Impmon replied with a faint smile on his face.
"Hey guys… I'm glad you came…"
"This was all my doing," replied Shintomon, "I'll explain everything to you later, Impmon."
"Thanks, buddy…"
Omega X smashed his fists into the ground. His face was twisted with a mix of anger and sadness. Sora put her hand around Omega X.
"Sora. We've failed! Our home planet is gone! It's gone!"
"Tai… I'm sorry…"
"Our families are gone, Sora! Every last one of them!"
Takato and the Tamers were saddened of the possibility of their families not making it. Jeri looked over and saw Pikkan lying on the ground. Calumon waves over towards Jeri. She rushes over towards him.
"Lookie, Jeri! Pikkan is recovering! He's going to be much better!"
"Pikkan was brought here too! Oh thank goodness!"
"Wait, then that means everyone else was brought along too?" Rika pondered.
"Look, Rika!" Takato pointed out excitedly.
The Tamers turned as they saw their parents, the Monster Makers and the Hypnos team walking out. Even Suzie, Ryo, Kazu, and Kenta were saved. Suzie and Lopmon were holding onto Yolei and Mimi's baby children respectively. The Tamer children embraced their parents happily as a slight reunion was restored for the children. However, the same can't be said for the Digi-Destined. They lost everyone they loved.
"D-Reaper. This isn't over. I swear on my parents' graves that you're going to pay dearly for this. I swear you're going to die. I promise you!" Omega X thought.
Omega X stood above everyone as he looked out towards the planet's skies. The gust of wind blew alongside him and his eyes were focused on one thing: revenge on the D-Reaper.
"We'll avenge Planet Earth. The Earth was born and now you killed it, D-Reaper. I may not read the Bible, but I do believe in resurrection," Omega X continued on. "When comes death, comes resurrection. This is far from over, D-Reaper. I hope you're listening, D-Reaper! We will fight until the very end!"
****************************************************************************************
Former Site of Earth. Solar System
Amongst the debris of the once beautiful planet, the chaos mass started to reform. That form eventually gave way to the D-Reaper herself. She looks around and smiles satanically. She had finished off the earth just as she wanted.
"I sense you, warriors. I'm coming for you. My mission won't be complete until every human is deleted from existence. You're emotions are irrelevant to me."
D-Reaper levitates up and holds the Kernel Sphere above her head. Her body started giving off a dark red aura.
Mother Earth has been done in by D-Reaper. Our heroes have failed to save their own planet, or have they? There is a one last chance! Can our heroes regroup before the D-Reaper pinpoints their location?

[Digimon Tamers Opening theme "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
D-Reaper, Let's Settle This on Shintomon's Planet! The Fate of the Digital Universe!
Other Side of the Digital Universe
Shintomon started to gather every single one of the Digi-Destined and the Tamers together as he was about to explain the situation. The digimon were looking throughout the landscape with awed expressions. It was just moments ago that their beloved planet called Earth was destroyed by the D-Reaper's sheer destructive force. Not only did they fail to protect over five billion people, but also the Digi-Destined lost their parents. Tai was perhaps the one who was saddened since he was sworn to protect the planet. He and his comrades have defeated the likes of Myotismon, Burizalor, the Artificials and Virus in the past. However, this time they've failed to ward off D-Reaper's apocalyptic sphere of doom.
The Digi-Destined were still awed by the luscious landscape of Shintomon's home planet. They felt a pure aura emitting through the holy domain.
"Man, Shintomon has it made. Not even Azulongmon gets this proper treatment," Gomamon remarked. "I could use a resort like this. Ahhh, nice cool streams…"
"I think Azulongmon would strike you in the head if he heard you mouthing off about his sanctuary," Joe replied.
"Can't a digimon dream?"
"Wow. Look at this place. Isn't it just beautiful?" Mimi asked.
"Now this is my dream planet. I've always wanted a luxurious land trees and flowers. Hey, Biyomon whatca looking at?"
"The skies. They're so pretty. Hey, Sora. Aren't they just beautiful?"
"Yeah. Plus my name translates to sky anyway," replied Sora. "That's why I like looking out into the sky so much."
"I always wondered why you look it so much, because your own name translates to sky. Interesting."
"So, D-Reaper really destroyed our planet?" Jeri asked.
"I'm sorry, Jeri. We tried everything we could. There was no possible way for us to overcome such an apocalyptic force which the D-Reaper created."
"It's not you're fault, Leomon. At least, my parents were able to be saved."
Jeri turned her heard towards her parents and gave them an assuring smile. Leomon puts the girl on the ground. She goes to tend to Pikkan's wounds.
"How's he doing, Calumon?"
"Well, he's been mumbling some funny noises. I can't make anything out of it. I guess he'll be fine."
"That's good."
Jeri kneels next to the fallen alterian. Her eyes lay upon him softly. Calumon decided that it was time to leave Jeri alone to care for the wounded warrior.
"Digi-Destined. I'm terribly sorry for what has happened to you're home planet. I'm sorry I had to drag you into this whole mess to begin with. If only I knew that the D-Reaper would be stronger than I had comprehended. I've failed with my responsibility as Supreme Guardian of the East."
"It's not you're fault, Shintomon," TK said. "You did everything you could. Heck, you even helped us out to begin with. We all were overwhelmed by the D-Reaper."
"I agree. Just because we've lost our home that doesn't mean we're going to give up this fight," Mystic Celesta assured the group. "Tai. It's what you said. When comes death, comes resurrection."
"Yeah, that's right. You think I want to quit? My answer is simple and everyone should know by now… OH HELL NO!"
"I respect you're sheer will and desire. That is why you were chosen as the Digi-Destined. Each and everyone of you possessing a digimon have responsibilities."
"Mr. Shintomon. I've got a question," Takato said. "Are you able to pinpoint D-Reaper's location. I mean she did destroy the Earth. She wouldn't have survived that blast."
"No, Takato. Unfortunately, the D-Reaper has survived that explosion."
The entire team was baffled by the revelation the Supreme Guardian had made. It was indeed true. The D-Reaper is still alive and well, despite what everyone had hoped for.
"If I know the D-Reaper, she'll be looking for us. She'll eventually break through time and space into the digital universe. Remember, she did that when she broke through Buddamon's time chamber dimension."
"Yes, it was a mistake on my part. If I only knew to begin with," Buddamon responded.
"It's okay. As I was saying, D-Reaper is locating through every single dimensional planet known throughout the digital universe. She will do anything to find us, but we should be able to allow that to our advantage. You see Digi-Destined and Tamers. I have gathered you all because there is something you should know."
The entire group gathered around, both tamers and Destined alike. Shintomon and Gosenzomon moved aside to allow the masked man to pass. The group was surprised to once again greet X.
"X! You saw everything up to this point, right?" Sora asked.
"Yes, Sora. I have and I'm sorry about you're home planet. We'll restore the Earth with Azulongmon's digicores."
"You can do that?!" Henry asked. "By the way, what are these digicores?"
"Each Sovereign possesses four special digicores encased in their sanctuary. Every digital cycle, one sends out four to different locations across their respective Digital World domain. Azulongmon has been a long-time friend to myself and the Digi-Destined."
"Once we gather these digicores, we are granted three wishes from Azulongmon himself. He can only grant those that are within his power. So bringing back dead people is within his power, but it's by his decision. There's no guarantee a person can be brought back to life, regardless of that person's past actions."
"Wow, you guys can really bring back the dead. Kind of creepy if you ask me," Terriermon muttered as he shuddered at the thought. "I don't think I could handle being a zombie."
"Ha, don't worry you'll be restored to as good as new once revived," Gomamon stated.
"Ah, momentai."
"Wait! You said, Azulongmon. Like that Azulongmon we meet in that Digital World?" Rika asked.
"No. There are four different Sovereigns for each domain," the masked man replied.
"Ok, Mr. Techno talk, you lost me," Terriermon responded. "Care to explain?"
"All right. Let's put it this way. In the Digi-Destined's Digital World, there are four Sovereigns watching their domain, much like their counterparts in the recent Digital World you've just visited."
"So, in other words, we met another Azulongmon?" Izzy asked. "That makes since. Tell us about the other two domains."
"Well, I can't out too much at one time for now. However, I will say that one remains activate, yet all information has been disclosed. The other world… Well. It met a destructive end."
"Did the D-Reaper have anything to do with it?" Ryo asked.
"Perhaps, I was not around to gain any information on that sort."
"That sucks," Davis replied. "Well, we're not going to allow that to happen to this domain! I don't know about you but I'm ready to kick some ass!"
"So, whatca going to do Davis? Kick D-Reaper in the head and run?" Yolei teased.
This brought laughter amongst the group, which was something they really needed after a horrifying moment. Davis merely sat down with his face red.
"You really know his weak spots, Yolei," Sonja said.
"I know. Heh."
"Let's get back to important matters," X replied. "Tamers. Digi-Destined. I'm proud to be speaking before you today. As you know, the D-Reaper is free within the digital universe. As of now, she's going to start destroy many worlds, including Shintomon's domain. Now it is time that we act and stop her before she can cause any more destruction. We must avenge everyone we lost to that maniac. We'll avenge all of those lost souls from Earth. Each and every one of you possesses powers that are unlike anything known. You really have no idea how special each and every one of you is. Original Digi-Destined came forth before me."
As soon as he said that, Omega X (Tai), Metalla X (Matt), Mystic Celesta (Kari), Sora, Mimi, Joe, Izzy and TK were walking up towards the group. X stepped aside as Shintomon waved his hands over each individual Digi-Destined. Each of Destined looked down at their chests and saw the glowing crest symbols. Omega X had Courage. Metalla X possessed Friendship. Sora with Love. Izzy with Knowledge. Joe with Reliability. Mimi with Sincerity. TK with Hope. Mystic Celesta with Light.
"You eight alone were the original predecessors, but your individual crests can't release the hidden power unless each of you express a form of love towards each other. Taichi. Yamato. It is you two who possess the highest level of power among your friends. It is you two that must release that hidden power. But first, you two must admit your love to your soul mates."
"Soul mates," Omega X asked, "As in our fiancées?"
"Exactly. Taichi. You and Sora have always been destined to be apart of each other. It is you love that makes your bond stronger than it already is. But it is your courage that makes you the strongest fighter among the original Digi-Destined, Taichi. When those crests first reacted, it unlocked that special power. That power was the ability to merge yourself and your digimon to become Omega X during your battle with Burizalor. Please try to remember that…"
[Armageddon Sountrack: Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" plays]
Omega X walks over to Sora as the scene around them started to flash a bright light. Now standing before Sora was Tai. Both of them closed their eyes while looking back to their confrontation with Burizalor and the historic moment that unleashed Tai's hidden ability… It was the power to merge with Agumon to become Omega X.
Flashback
Sora has never seen Tai this angry before. It seemed as though he was coming a different person and it scared her to death. He seemed possessed and whatever rage he felt, Agumon could feel the same thing.
"Well if you think your friends will escape me, Taichi. You are sadly mistaken, my friend."
Burizalor pointed his finger towards the children and it looked like he was pointing to Tai but as soon as he shot out his deadly beam, it went straight towards Sora.
Everything seemed to turn into slow motion for a while and the beam was coming right for Sora. Tai watched in horror and went to push Sora aside. But as soon as he reached out to her, the beam went right through her chest and through her heart. Tai's eyes widened in fear and shock at what he just witnessed.
Sora fell limp to the ground and her eyes became glazed over. Tai ran to her side and held her in his arms.
"Sora… No… This can't be happening…"
Tai's eyes started to water down in tears. He lost Matt and now he lost his best friend, Sora. Burizalor has taken away two of the most important people of the group.
"Sora…" Biymon cried, "Oh my god… no…SORA!"
Tai looked back at the moments when Sora mentioned the power of love.
"You know something that I found that my mom loves me very much."
"And it was your crest that helped me digivolve, Sora."
"Yeah. I'm glad."
"I felt something like love too, but I couldn't make out to what it was."
Tai could remember that very well from the time Sora's Crest of Love unleashed its power from Sora's own love. He had wanted to tell her that since arriving in the Digital World. Since then, they have gotten a lot closer and became more than just friends. He shared the same kind of love for Sora and now his only love had been taken away from him. Burizalor has killed his one true friend.
"Ha! Ha! What's the matter? Did we lose something?" Burizalor laughed cruelly as a way to taunt Tai.
Suddenly, Tai started to shake with total rage and he clenched his digivice. Agumon watched Biyomon crying at Sora's body. He turned to face Burizalor and his eyes turned a different color, a more darker and redder color. He felt the same kind of rage that Tai was feeling.
"Burizalor… I won't let you get away with this. No more. You have caused too much pain already! I've had it with you. NO MORE! I said, NO MORE YOU NO GOOD BASTARD!"
Tai dropped his digivice and it shattered into pieces. The other children watched in horror as Tai's body started to glow a red color. Then Agumon was glowing as well. The ground started to shake around them and a barrier formed around them. Burizalor watched in horror to what was transpiring.
"I won't let you kill anymore innocent souls," Tai said, "You hear me?! NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Tai let out a raging, blood curling scream, as did Agumon. The ground started to shake around them and the barrier got even bigger. It looked as though they were about to transform as they were being pulled against one another.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
Burizalor continued to watch in horror at what was transpiring. He never saw something like this before. Then when he heard the word 'Fusion', he gasped in total horror and stood back shaking. The legend was true after all! It was true!
"WE WON'T ALLOW YOU TO DESTROY BOTH WORLDS! YOUR END HAS COME!"
Tai and Agumon fused as a red energy force surrounded them. Agumon went through all of his evolutions until his body became human-like. His War Greymon helmet became that of a man's head with the symbol of courage on his forehead. His eyes were similar to those of War Greymon's. His claws gave away to form arms and fists. His brave shield gave way for a smaller set of armor. Tai was pulled inside of him.
"Agumon fusion shinka! OMEGA X!"
End of Flashback
Sora stared off into space as her tears became teary-eyed. She looks back and faces Tai with a smile across her face. Tai returned a smile to the red-haired young woman.
"You did that because you really loved me, Tai. You fused out of the anger and hatred for Burizalor, but for the love and honor for me. Tai, is that how you felt about me?"
"Truthfully. I cross my heart and hope to die. Sure I wanted to kick Burizalor's ass, but I did it to honor you. I chose to stay with the guardians to get stronger in case a greater threat arrived. Eventually, the artificials and Virus came. As Omega X, I'm an indestructible fighting machine. But I still carry the love for you, Sora. But this time, we're going to have to show our bond in order to release my hidden powers. It's the true depth of my full potential. This might be our last chance against the D-Reaper. So, please. Show me how much you really care for me."
"If only you can do the same for me… Taichi…"
"Sora…"
With that said, the two pressed their lips together and started to embrace themselves during the passionate kiss. Suddenly, their crest symbols started to glow and light started to swirl around them. A mix of orange and red light was starting to engulf them both; it was the power of Courage and Love taking formation.
"Tai, look at the light…"
"It's the bond of our love, Sora. Just think. The combination of both Courage and Love shall make me stronger. Stronger than I ever have been… Thank you, Sora… for admitting our love…"
"No problem… Anything for you, Taichi…"
"I must do what I can to stop the D-Reaper and avenge for our planet. Earth will be restored. I promise you. Our families' deaths won't go in vain!"
As soon as the light around them started to fade away, Tai quickly transformed back into Omega X within a beam of light. Sora looks on with a smile on her face as Omega X examined his fully-powered body. He had never felt so much power.
"The crests' power has given me new fond strength. I've never felt much stronger than I possibly could. With my courage and Sora's love, I'm twice as powerful when I was fighting the D-Reaper before. Heh, wait till that heartless monster gets a load of the new me."
"Excellent work, Taichi. You have now ascended to a brand new level and are the strongest among the team. Mimi. Yamato. You two are next."
Mimi looked around the group and sighed to relief herself of nervousness. She suddenly turned to see Metalla X putting an arm on her shoulder.
"It's ok, Mimi. Everything will be ok."
"All right. I trust you, Matt."
The couple started walking towards Shintomon as he waved his hands over them. Mimi looked down as she saw her chest glowing a neon green color. Metalla X did the something and saw a metallic blue symbol. These were the symbols of the former crests of friendship and sincerity.
"Despire being an odd couple, you two share a great deal of love for each other and have admitted it. Especially you, Yamato. Mimi, you never really thought that Matt would end up being your soul mate. That was soon proven once you two had a child: the boy from the future, Dimitri. It was he who saved you from being slaughtered by Burizalor. Dimitri put a stop to that evil monster. And it was he who warned you of the arrival of the artificials. And it was you, Yamato that fought alongside Dimitri in the battle against Virus. However, you first admitted your love during your first encounter with the D-Reaper. Please try to remember…"
The couple was quickly engulfed into a beam of light. Mimi looked across and saw that Matt was back to his normal self. A smile came across Mimi's face.
"Do you really love me, Matt?"
"I do. I'll admit, you definitely weren't the first person that crossed my mind. Even if I act like a jerk sometimes, I did grow fond of you after Dimitri arrived from the future. Though I don't like to admit it, we've proven some love to each other. We eventually learned that Dimitri was our son. He's our son. That little boy we have now will eventually become as strong as I am, maybe even stronger. Mimi, when I first met you, I always saw you as a ditz. But overtime, we both managed to mature and here we are now. I'm perhaps the strongest fighter there is, second only to Omega X. But this something we have to win, Mimi. We have to admit our love and release the true pinnacle of my power. All of those times that I said that I was the most powerful, I was only gloating. But this time, this has got to be it… Please… Let' s admit our love… to each other…"
Mimi responds with a nod and forms a smile across her face.
"Of course. Matt… you just have to show it to me first…"
"I will…"
Suddenly, images from the future play through their minds. Images of Dimiri are shown twenty years in the future. They watched as the boy battled the evil artificials Jax and Sonja. For years, these demons have caused havoc on the planet and slain nearly every Digi-Destined.
An image is shown of future Mimi leading Dimitri into a dimensional traveler pod. The boy was then set off into the past to warn the Digi-Destined of the upcoming threat. It was then that Dimitri stepped in to confront Burizalor.
The boy and his digimon partner, Faith the Patamon, merged into Angemon X. With one swipe from the warrior's sword, the evil tyrant known as Burizalor as at last slain. The years of torment he's brought to the digital universe was ended by Matt and Mimi's son.
However, there was another important moment to remember from all of this. It happened two days before today.
Flashback
"Wait, D-Reaper!"
She looks right over towards Metalla X with a look of surprise.
"You'll have to stop them after you defeat and delete me!"
Metalla X holds up his fists towards his chest and a smile comes across his face.
"Do you understand, you ugly piece of crap!"
D-Reaper hunches forward and tons of steam comes right out of her head and her eyes were glowing a dark, purple color with a loud humming noise with it.
"You're saying bad things again! You shall be deleted!"
Metalla X grins and D-Reaper shoots out more steam to reveal her true anger, then stops and does it a little more.
"You've got such a big mouth for such a simple creature. I shall enjoy uploading your data after I delete you."
They both take white auras as they both flew off away into the far off distance. D-Reaper stakes a step forward and goes to confront Metalla X.
"You will die already, Metalla X…"
Metalla X's grin grows even wider as the creature shoot out more steam from her head.
"Now you shall be the second to be deleted."
"I've finally figured out a way to beat you."
"Huh?"
Metalla X holds out his fist and charges up his ki. A healthy metallic blue aura flows around Metalla X, throwing up dust all around him and causing some boulders to crumble. D-Reaper looks over with a sadistic smirk coming across her face.
"Hm. What shall I do with you? Delete you the fast ands less painful way? Or the slow and very painful way? It's your choice. You will be deleted no matter what you choose."
"Ha! I'm going to blow you up into so many little pieces that you'll never be able to regenerate!"
Just then, D-Reaper's eyes widened in shock while looking down at her hands and then back to Metalla X. A grin formed across the fusion warrior's face.
"TK… Mimi… Dimitri. Digi-Destined. Tamers. Farewell. This one for you. Oh and especially for you to, Tai."
Metalla X quickly looks away as D-Reaper gasps in shock at what was now about to transpire. Metalla X activates his self-destruction mechanism as he hunches over, groans for a moment as he prepares himself, then throws his head back, screaming. A massive dome of golden light expands out from within him, throwing up dust and debris. His scream fades away as the explosion continues to expand even more. Clouds quickly part away as D-Reaper screams while getting hit by the incredible amount of ki. Metalla X continues screaming and gets engulfed by the massive force of light.
End of Flashback
Mimi looks on towards Matt with teary eyes and a smile on her face. Matt returned a smile and pressed himself closer to the blonde-haired young woman.
"Oh Matt… Thank you…"
"You're welcome…"
With that said, the couple embraced each other and started to lock lips. They kissed with their chests releasing two streaks of light. Those colored streaks were metallic blue and neon green. They started to engulf Matt as the light around them started to fade out. Matt quickly transformed back into Metalla X. Mimi gently pulls her hand away.
"Thank you, Mimi. We've now finally admitted our love."
"You're welcome. Now do me a favor and kick the D-Reaper's ass!"
"I intend to!"
["I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" ends]
"Yes. It's complete. The two fusion warriors of courage and friendship have now reached their full maximum potential. Their power is like none other. The D-Reaper should have her hands full dealing with these two," Shintomon said to himself.
"Yamato and Taichi are incredible. Just look at them. Omega X and Metalla X are both considered the two strongest heroes of the entire digital universe. It's up to them to defeat the D-Reaper. Its our last hope of restoring peace once and for all," Gosenzomon replied in thought.
"It's complete," X replied. "Tai and Sora look so go together. If only I could reveal my identity to them, but I think it's best to wait. They don't need to be pressed into a state of shock."
The Tamers looked on with awed expressions across their faces. Takato and Rika were sitting next to one another, with their digimon feeling the strong presence of the two digital warriors.
"Takato. Aren't they just unbelievable?" asked Rika, "I've never seen such awesome power."
"I'll say. From what I've just seen, they're twice as powerful as they were once before."
"However, it is not over yet, my friends," replied Shintomon, "That was only half of the power Taichi and Yamato needed."
"WHAT?! That was only half?!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, the other Digi-Destined must also release the power of their crests and allow both Omega X and Metalla X to absorb it into their beings. Daisuke, Miyako, Iori, Ken. You four came before me."
The newer Digi-Destined looked over to each other. Davis rose up and started to speak up.
"But why do you need us for? We don't carry any crests. Ken doesn't have his crest anymore. What's the point of us coming?"
"You four also possess unlimited power. It will be what Yamato and Taichi will need. You will just have to trust me. It's going to require everything within your power to bring their full maximum power. Please, we need your help…"
"Hey! You heard the man, Davis!" Yolei exclaimed, "We're going up there now!"
"Davis, if you don't go up there right now, I'm not going to cook you those noodles that you love so much," Sonja said with irritation.
"But, Sonja! Baby!"
"Don't 'baby' me! Go and do what the man says."
"Ha. Give me a high five there, Sonja," Yolei said.
"I normally don't give high-fives. But what the hell…"
The two women slapped each other high-fives, as Davis looked on with a rather defeated look. Veemon goes and elbows Davis lightly on his leg. Davis looks down as Veemon speaks up.
"Back to the drawing board, huh, buddy?"
Davis sighed and looked ahead towards Shintomon and the others waiting.
"Ok! Ok! We're going!"
The four Digi-Destined go walking up as they stood alongside Izzy, Joe, Kari, and TK. Shintomon waved his hand over each individual. Izzy's chest started to glow a bright purple with the symbol of knowledge emulating. The same could be said for Joe, but his symbol of reliability released a gather dark gray light. Mystic Celesta's symbol of light shone a pink light, while TK's symbol of Hope shone a golden light.
"Yes. Now it's time to unleash your personality traits, Daisuke. I sense the symbols of both Courage and Friendship within you," Shintomon stated. "After all, you harness the digimentals of courage and friendship, which allow Veemon to armor evolve into Flamedramon and Lighdramon."
Davis looked down as his fists started to glow a combination of an orange and metallic blue color.
"Miyako. You have the power of the symbols of Sincerity and Love. The two powers that Omega X's and Metalla X's fiancées possess and the traits of Sora and Mimi. You will be able to refuel them with you're power. I can easily sense those traits from within you. After all, you harness the digimentals of love and sincerity, which allow Hawkmon to armor evolve into Halsemon and Shurimon."
Yolei watches as parts of her chest start to glow two separate forms of light. One of which was red and the other neon green.
"Iori. You contain the power of the symbols of Reliability and Knowledge. You maybe be considered the weakest of the bunch, but you can use those traits to guide you in even the greatest of predicaments. You harness the digimentals of those two traits. Which, in turn, allow Armadillomon to armor evolve into Digmon and Submarimon."
Cody gasps when he saw his hands glowing with the symbols of the crests of knowledge and reliability. They separated out into two separate forms of light, one being light purple and the other a dark gray.
"Ken Ichijouji. Despite having a troubled past after losing your brother, I am proud to say that he was right about one thing. You are gentle and that allowed you to harness the crest of kindness. It was that kindness that unleashed the golden radiance. Do not let darkness consume. You are better than that. The Digimon Kaiser that once terrorized the digital world is no more. You are now Ken Ichijouji, the Digi-Destined of Kindness."
With that said, Ken looks down at his chest and it started beating. A dark purple light comes shining through in the form of the symbol of kindness.
"With all of these traits being unveiled, its time to bring them for Taichi and Yamato. This is our last resort in defeating the D-Reaper. Powers of the crests come before me and allow the two warriors standing before me to release the full maximum potential of their power."
Shintomon waved his hand over both Omega X and Metalla X, which directed the beams of light over to the two warriors. Everybody watched with awe as Omega X and Metalla X were showered with powerful rays of light. The digimon each stood as they felt their kis rising to new heights and giving them the strength they need to defeat the D-Reaper.
"Tai…"
"Matt…"
"Takato! This is just incredible! I never would have imagined this," Rika said.
"You're right. They're definitely a lot stronger than last time. I think they do stand a chance against the D-Reaper. Its only a matter of time."
"Takato is right. This is the last resort in defeating D-Reaper. We've tried everything and those backfired in our faces," replied Henry.
As soon as the rays of light faded away, the two fusion warriors looked across their friends as they sighed. Omega X examined his body and started moving around. Metalla X did the samething and turned to face his comrade with a smirk across his face.
"So, what do you think, Tai?"
"Not bad. We feel like a bunch of badasses. So, what do you? We do this for the last time and take apart the D-Reaper?"
"I'm with you, Matt. This is definitely it. The final battle. It's time to put away our differences to protect not just our world. Not just the digital world. But the entire digital universe."
"And now for you Tamers," X said, "Especially you two."
Takato had noticed that Shintomon was pointing out to Guilmon and himself. Takato looks at his digimon partner, who shrugged his shoulders. Then the goggle boy pointed to himself in question. Shintomon replies with a nod in agreement.
"You two used Grani in battle didn't you?"
"Yes and we pretty much mastered it in a short time."
"Good, because there's a possible chance for us to merge Gallantmon and Grani."
"What? There's a possible way to merge Gallantmon and Grani?" Kazu asked, "That's super cool, chumley! Don't turn down that opportunity."
"Right. This maybe one of our last resorts. You better take it. It just might help, goggle head," said Rika.
"What do you say, Takatomon?"
"Let's do it."
Takato and Guilmon go walking up towards Shintomon, as Rika gave a thumbs up to the goggle boy. Takato nodded and faced the supreme guardian.
"All right. All we need is one more individual. Impmon."
"What?! What do you need me for?" Impmon asked with shock in his voice.
"I need you to come before me. I have the power to once again evolve you back to Beelzebumon, which was taken away by the D-Reaper."
"If you really need my help, then you should have just asked. Ok, here I come."
Before Impmon had a chance to go walk over to the higher being, he turns around to face his two Tamers, Ai and Makoto. They smiled over to him, as a D-Ark hung around Ai's neck. Impmon smiles and gives them a thumbs up.
"This ones for you, Ai. You too, Makoto."
Shintomon stood before Takato, Guilmon and Impmon with as he waved his hand over the trio.
"I witnessed your teamwork against the Kernal sphere. I must say. I was impressed. This has lead me to the idea of having you teaming up once again and perhaps the last time."
"You saw our battle against the D-Reaper's Kernal sphere?" asked Takato, "But…"
"How did you know we were both teaming up," said Guilmon.
"I saw it and the way you two managed to handle the situation was astounding…"
Flashback
"Beelzebumon. We've gotten stronger since then, but we still can't underestimate the D-Reaper's abilities. We're practically walking on thin ice here. Wake up and smell the coffee. This isn't a digimon were battling, this is the single most destructive force that could wipe out all digimon and humans all together. Both will go extinct if we don't stop it here and now!"
"Lets attack it together with our best shots!" Gallantmon said.
"I'm with ya on that one!"
Beelzebumon points out his positron gun over at the Kernal sphere and starts powering it up. Gallantmon holds out his shield and the hazard sign started lighting up. Then they both released large beams of energy that shot out with tremendous force.
"Death Slinger!"
"Shield of the Just!"
The two attacks both combined into one gigantic blast and it goes nailing the Kernal sphere dead on and a large explosion occurs as a result of it. It looked like that the Kernal sphere was done for. But slowly there was a smoke cloud slowly starting to dissipate.
End of Flashback
"You see? It was you're teamwork that enabled you to nearly defeat the Kernal sphere. But now, we battle a far greater enemy than the whole D-Reaper chaos mass itself. It has to end here and now. There is no other way. Gallantmon, when the time draws near for you and Grani to merge, it will come at the time of great need. But for now, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon will team with Omega X, Metalla X, and Mystic Celesta. It will be you four alone that will stop the D-Reaper."
"What do you say, Impmon? Shall we do it again," Guilmon asked.
"I'm only do this for my Tamers, alone. Alright, we do this one more time."
"With that, I grant you the power to digivolve back to Beelzebumon."
Shintomon waves his hand over Impmon and watches as the rookie's body started to glow. Then within a few moments, he stood tall with a human-like body and a pair of black angel wings cam sprouting out of his back. Everyone looked on with awe as Beelzebumon Blast Mode returned.
"I'm back. I can't believe I'm really back."
"Yeah, Impmon! You're so cool! You can do it, Impmon!" Makoto cried out.
"We love you, Impmon!" Ai said.
"Ai. Makoto. I'll make you proud."
"Ready to bio-merge, Guilmon?"
"Yeah! Lets do this!"
Bio-Merge Evolution
[Digimon Tamers second evolution theme "One Vision" plays]
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Takato holds up his D-Ark and presses it against his chest as he exploded with a stream of red data surrounding him. He felt his arms flow freely as he started to float down upon Guilmon as they merged together.
"Guilmon Bio-Merge!"
Guilmon's body started to break down as his reptilian skin was quickly giving way to a much more armored body that was silver. His limbs quickly transformed into that of human limbs. His tail gave way and he was now a bipedal figure. His face quickly evolved into every single of his evolutions. First from Guilmon and then into Growlmon. Then into War Growlmon and then into Guilmon. A view of Takato's face was shown and then a knight's facemask was shown. There was a pair of pure gold eyes underneath the dark silts of the mask. On top of the helmet was the face of Guilmon embedded on the top of his forehead. He goes flying out as a joust came appearing in his hand and a shield formed on the other. The shield has the same hazard sign that was embedded on Guilmon's chest. Finally, a long, red flowing cape appeared as the new digimon soared out into a pose.
"Gallantmon!"
Mummymon looked on with widened looks and a gaping mouth. Black Gatomon couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"BIO-MERGE DIGIVOLUTION?!" they both exclaimed.
"Wow. I never thought I would see this," Terriermon said, "I just they kissed and made up."
"Terriermon. This is only business, you dog-eared weenie," Beelzebumon replied, "Besides. I want payback on the D-Reaper. All right. Let's kick some ass."
Suddenly, a massive blast exploded in the background and it left a large crater within the landscape. The four warriors turned around, as did the others. There was now a raging fire building with smoke surrounding the explosion. D-Reaper stood before the charred landscape with a slight grin on her face.
"It's the D-Reaper!" Buddamon exclaimed, "Quick we must get everyone away from here!"
"We will leave it up to these five. Omega X, Metalla X, Mystic Celesta, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon. These five will be the ones to bring down the D-Reaper," replied Shintomon.
"Why did you need me?" Mystic Celesta pondered.
"You're full Amazing Grace powers are needed. Besides, you were giving D-Reaper a run for her money after receiving Gosenzomon's power-up," X replied.
"Please, don't fail on us! You're our last line of defense," Gosenzomon said. "We'll send more backup just in case you need it. You guys are our trump card!"
The other Digi-Destined and Tamers all nodded in agreement. Each is willing to go out to sacrifice themselves to aid their comrades. The D-Reaper is definitely going to be very difficult adversary even with a combined force of every Tamer/Digi-Destined.
"This is it, boy. The final battle," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Then afterwards, we'll have the largest bread store in the world."
Gallantmon turns his attention over to his fellow Tamers. Then he goes waved over to Rika, who returned a wave back to her friend.
"Good luck, goggle head. Don't let me down."
"I won't fail you. We'll make sure this victory is goes to us," Takato said in Gallantmon's thoughts.
D-Reaper walks through the cloud of smoke and started laughing maniacally.
"I HATE YOU ALL! HATE! HATE! NOW, YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE HERE!"
"You need some anger management! Geez, you whine more than a cheap prostitute on a bad day!" Omega X cries out.
"Time to shut that fat mouth of yours, bitch!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"It's time we settle this!" Mystic Celesta stated.
"How would you like this gun stuck straight up you're candy ass?" asked Beelzebumon.
"We'll avenge the planet you destroyed! This one's for Earth!" shouted Gallantmon.
The five fighters each powered up with bright auras forming around their bodies and went a wave of energy through the landscape. Everybody looked on with awe as the five super warriors prepared themselves to battle the D-Reaper, which perhaps will be the final battle to determine the fate of the digital universe.
D-Reaper began to laugh maniacally as she found the opponents that she was looking for. These four opponents would end up being four of the strongest in the entire group: Omega X, Metalla X, Mystic Celesta, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon. These five alone were prepared to face off against perhaps the single most destructive force known in the Digital World, the D-Reaper.
Shintomon, Gosenzomon, the Tamers, the other Destined and the parents were looking on petrified with terrified looks across each other's faces. However, the five-digimon team looked on with self-confident looks. Omega X turns his attention back towards the higher powers.
"This is simply unimaginable," Shibumi stated. "The D-Reaper in her true form?"
"Unfortunately, we don't have time to study it," Yamaki replied. "We can not allow science to interfere. Our hopes and faiths lie in these five warriors."
"Shintomon. Gosenzomon. Buddamon. You three lead our friends off of this planet and find another nearby neighboring planet in order to be safe," Mystic Celesta replied. "TK is still worn out from the last D-Reaper battle. We might need him and Davis later on."
"Yes, we shall," replied Gosenzomon, but you must be careful, valiant warriors. Fight her with everything within your power."
"We'll be watching from another location," X replied. "Kick some ass!"
"Good luck, Tai!" Sora cried out.
"Please don't go dying on me again, Matt!"
"Bye Impmon!" Ai and Makoto exclaimed in unison.
"You can do it, Kari! I believe in you! Just call me when you need me!" TK and Patamon call out to the angelic warrior.
"Don't let me down, goggle head!" Rika said.
The warriors each looked over towards their friends and their loved ones, as they waved over to them. Everybody placed their hands on Shintomon as he goes and teleports them away onto another small planet nearby Shintomon's scared planet.
****************************************************************************************
Unknown Planet away from Shintomon's scared sanctuary
As soon as they disappeared, the entire group now found themselves onto a landscape filled with grassy plains and trees. Shintomon and Gosenzomon look around their surroundings.
"We've been transported down into the lower worlds," said Buddamon. "Yes, this is Planet Tunip."
"Ugh! A higher power such as ourselves should know better than to walk on these lower grounds! We're much better than this!" exclaimed Gosenzomon, "But I guess it will have to do."
"You shouldn't be complaining, old-timer," X stated promptly. "You know we'll just get in their way."
Shintomon sets the crystal ball down onto the ground and activates it to get a really good view of the battle that was about to take place between D-Reaper and the four warriors. The Destined and the Tamers each looked over and waited for the battle to begin.
"Well if Omega X and Metalla X can't fuse anymore, then there might be an actual chance of those two doing more damage and defeating the D-Reaper," said TK, "Right guys?"
"Lets not be too sure, TK," Izzy said, "We shouldn't underestimate the D-Reaper despite her now tiny stature."
"I agree. D-Reaper seems really powerful in this form. Those five better realize what they're up against," said Henry.
"Hey take a look at what they're doing are doing," Riley said.
"Oh great! The stake of the digital universe is at stake and here they go with that rock, paper and scissors crap!" exclaimed Rika.
"I don't know. Maybe this could be an easier way for them to decide who gets to fight first," Kenta said.
"My money's on Beelzebumon," Terriermon said.
"Mine is on Gallantmon," said Guardromon.
"Mine would definitely be on Omega X. He's going to get the shot first," Kazu said.
"Pipipipi!"
The group looked dumbfounded as they listened on whom Marine Angemon was placing his bets on. They had sweat drops coming down their faces, until Kenta stood in front of Marine Angemon and went on into translation for his digimon partner.
"He said that he was placing his bet on Metalla X. Man, I should become a Digimon translator."
They all fell down dumbfounded and then turned their attention back on the crystal ball to observe the showdown between D-Reaper and the five warriors.
"Or a Digimon version of Dr. Dolittle," Sonja thought.
****************************************************************************************
Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
D-Reaper tilted her head in confusion as she watched the five warriors playing a game of rock, paper, scissors, in order to decided who would get the first crack shot at D-Reaper.
"One! Two! Three!"
They all ended up with paper. They tried it again and ended up with scissors.
"One! Two! Three!"
As soon as they went and tried it once again, they all ended up with rocks.
"One! Two! Three!"
They tried it again and it was Omega X and Gallantmon who ended up with scissors while the others ended up with paper. The two goggle heads raised their fists in victory.
"All right! Scissors cuts paper! Looks like Takato and I win this time around, Matt!"
"Oh please. Don't try to rub it in my face. I just let you win this time around."
"Sure, whatever."
"It's down to you and me, Tai."
"Nah, let's make this a handicap fight. What do you say? Want to be my tag team partner?"
"It'd… It'd be an honor."
"Heh. I knew you'd see it my way, kid. Cool beans!"
"Let's how her what we're made of, Tai! Call us Team Goggle heads!" Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Yeah! I like that tag team name!"
"You guys have been watching too much wrestling," Omega X replied. "Which makes us goggle heads cool. We watch the cool shit."
"Well this should get quite interesting. I want to see how good this Omega X really is. He better be impressive. But judging from his ki, he's definitely got the edge. Pineapple head is no pushover. I've seen what he can do and he gave me an ass whipping," remarked Beelzebumon.
"My brother is awesome! You won't be disappointed," Mystic Celesta responded. "Takato's my pupil. He'll help Tai in anyway he can."
"Now show us how well you fight as a team," Metalla X responded. "Hopefully their usual goggle head egos won't get the best of them."
"Sure. We're going to give this with everything I got. But here's a warning to the three of you. You might not even get a chance to have your turn," remarked Omega X, "I may have defeated D-Reaper in her child form, but I wanted Davis and TK to do that."
"Then again, Kari could have finished her off if the D-Reaper didn't play such a foul trick!" Gallantmon responded. "I won't let you down as you're pupil, Kari."
"Give it you're best!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
The warriors then turn their attention right over towards D-Reaper, who was now looking on with her eyes glowing a misty, purple aura.
"D-Reaper! We don't have all day! Lets get this started! So, what are you waiting for? A written invitation?!"
"Or maybe a tall glass of shut up juice? How's that?!" Gallantmon taunted.
D-Reaper simply smiled as a flaming red aura started to surround her body while giving off a low humming sound. Omega X takes notice of this and listens as D-Reaper began to scream like the psychotic bitch that she is.
"YOU TELL ME TO SHUT UP?! I HATE YOU ALREADY! YOU TWO WILL DIE!"
"After destroying our home planet, I think you're fate has been sealed," Omega X responded. "Takato! Let's do this!"
"Right!"
D-Reaper looked up facing the two warriors, as her pupils were large with tiny little pupils, which gave her frightening presence. However, Omega X and Gallantmon didn't let their guards down. The goggle head duo cried out ferociously. A bright golden aura covers Omega X's body and his eyes started to become a pure emerald color. Gallantmon raised his lance and threw his shield up. His eyes were emblazed by a pure, fiery red aura.
D-Reaper looks on smiling and allowing her dark red aura to flow out towards the landscape and ripping through the grass using her telekinesis powers. The duo goes staring at her with a surprised look on his face.

Planet Tunip
As the group was looking over at the crystal orb to witness to historic battle, Davis and Veemon had noticed something a little peculiar. Davis then turns to face the others.
"Hey, do you guys know where Mummymon and Black Gatomon went?!"
"Huh? Mummymon and Black Gatomon? Who are they?" asked Buddamon.
"Oh shit! We forgot about them!" exclaimed Shintomon, "How could I have been so foolish as to leaving them there with the D-Reaper?!"
They all gasped and looked over at the orb as they saw none other than Mummymon hanging on the side of the cliff with Black Gatomon on top of his head.
"Jeri?! Where's Jeri?!" the father calls out.
"I thought she was right with us before we were transported," Talley said. "Riley?"
"No. I have no idea."
Suddenly, Ryo gasped in shock as he saw Jeri, Calumon and an unconscious Pikkan at the same location as Mummymon and Black Gatomon were hiding.
"Jeri is still out there!"
"WHAT?!" Leomon calls out. "Somebody needs to pull her out of there!"
"Hold on, she's with Mummymon and Black Gatomon. I'm sure they'll be safe," Sora said. "Those two might be goofballs, but they possess good hearts as Shintomon said."
"They better protect Jeri. It's for their sake," the warrior responded.
Elsewhere, Mimi and Palmon were coming up with new strategies for the final battle. Palmon nodded to every word Mimi was saying.
"Ok, that's good. Since I can digivolve to mega, I can be of some help."
"You are, but let's let Tai and the others handle it."
"Hewe you go, Miss Mimi," Suzie said while handing baby Dimitri to Mimi.
"Why, thank you, Suzie. You've been of great help."
"You're welcome."
Unknown to everyone, Cyberdramon has his eyes focused on the battle that was about to take place. His eyes started to give off an invisible red blow. An evil grin formed on his face as if another presence were anticipating the battle to get underway.
"Yes. You'll be of some use to me, warriors. Get rid of the D-Reaper long enough for me to emerge once again. Ryo has no idea of his past and I've made sure to get a little closer to Ryo's life. This way I can learn more of my new adversaries. Our paths will cross soon, Omega X. I promise you."
X took a glance over to Cyberdramon and made sure that the dragon does not pull off anything suspicious. The masked man was already on the digimon's case. Just then, Ken came walking up to the masked man.
"What can I do for you, Ken?"
Ken turns his attention over to Ryo and nodded to X.
"It's nothing really…"
"It's not good to conceal you're thoughts, Ken. You can ask me anything."
"I'm really fine. I forget to what I was going to ask. I'm sorry."
"That's okay, Ken."
With that said, Ken walks over to Wormmon and watches the battle beginning to unfold through the viewing orb.
"If it's about you're relationship with Ryo, I already know. Ken, you're memories will come back to you very soon. I can't say the same for Ryo. He's lost all memory of his past. That Cyberdramon has me pondering. What real purpose does he serve and why did he become Ryo's partner. I'll have to dig deep into the situation once the D-Reaper is defeated."
***************************************************************************************
Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
Mummymon and Black Gatomon go falling down from the side of the cliff as they landed onto the surface of Planet Shin. Mummymon let out a cry as he held his bottom with tremendous pain. Jeri was still hidden behind a rock cliff with an unconscious Pikkan at her side. Calumon looked up as Black Gatomon came tumbling down on him.
"Hey, yow! Watch it, tubby!" Black Gatomon cries out.
"Ow! You hit me first!"
"Guys! There's no time for this!" Jeri said. "Mr. Mummymon! Over here!"
"OW! Remind me never to go hanging on tree branches ever again," Mummymon said, "Now I'm going to end a pillow filled with ice for my tooshie."
"Mr. Mummymon! Get down here!"
"Huh? Hey, aren't you supposed to be with those other fellows?"
"I couldn't just leave Pikkan here!"
"Fair enough. Here I come!"
With that said, the blue-coated digimon came tumbling from the branch and falls flat on his bottom. He jumps around with a huge bump growing out from his backside.
"Ow! Ow! I should have taken diving lessons like Arukenimon told me."
"Mummymon! Get down!" Jeri replied.
"Enough of that, Mummymon. Shh. Look. The fight is about to start."
"What?! The fight?!"
They gazed over to see D-Reaper glowing a red, misty aura. Mummymon takes a really good look over at her and started to shiver from the mist that was starting to spread in the form of invisible smog. Calumon crawls on top of Mummymon's hat to get a better view. Black Gatomon looked on and ignored that smog that was attempting to cover the entire landscape. He was focused on the histoic battle that was going to take place before his very own eyes. Jeri was safe with Mummymon, Calumon and Black Gatomon keeping her and Pikkan company. The alterian has yet to awaken after that grueling battle with Demon.
[Dragonball Z Majin "Battle theme" plays]
D-Reaper grinned like never before while her red aura got even brighter from that start. The red smog that was emitting from her glowing aura was now starting to create quite a bit of a smoke cloud. Omega X, Gallantmon, and the other three warriors were now becoming impatient with D-Reaper's stalling.
Omega X goes and decides to make his first move attack on the D-Reaper. He flies right over at the D-Reaper and delivered a kick squarely in the mouth of D-Reaper. But D-Reaper simply stood as if nothing happened. She still stood like a statue and emitted another red energy wave. Gallantmon charges across and slashes at her with his lance. D-Reaper moved away from every blow and chuckled along the way. The exalted knight jumps away and allows Omega X to kick her across nearby rocks. D-Reaper eventually stopped glowing and shot out a ki blast, which the duo were able to dodge. Omega X then lands a few hard strikes at the D-Reaper. Omega X flips back and nods over to Gallantmon. The duo fired away their most powerful techniques at once.
"TERRA BEAM!"
"SHIELD OF THE JUST!"
"SHIT!" D-Reaper cursed.
Their combined blast incinerates her and eats away through her soft, jelly-like body. This caused a massive explosion and the D-Reaper was quickly vaporized within it. Meanwhile, the duo were watching their breathes after such a combined effort.
Mummymon looks on awe struck and then began cheering by waving his arms around and hooting. Jeri took notice of Mummymon's cheerleading.
"Hoo! Hoo! Yeah! That's the way, fellows! That's the way! You have her where ya'll want her! Now the threat of D-Reaper is gone for good! Sing it with me, Black Gatomon."
"I'd rather not."
"How did I get stuck with these two clowns?" Jeri thought. "C'mon, Pikkan. You've got to recover."
***************************************************************************************
Planet Tunip
Everybody, except for the higher powers, was cheering as they began to jump around and celebrate. Davis and Veemon were doing a victory dance, which managed to put Sonja into shame.
"All right! We did it! Tai and Takato beat the D-Reaper!" exclaimed Davis.
"Wow. I can't believe it. He really did it," said TK, "What do you think, Leomon?"
"I'm not too sure."
"You have every right to worry, Leomon," said Shintomon, "D-Reaper is much more resilient than you think. That blast was merely just a fleabite to her. She wouldn't have been easily defeated."
***************************************************************************************
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Just as soon as Shintomon made that revelation, there were tiny red particles starting to float around each other in the air. Then the particles started to reform into blobs of chaos mass. They were pieced together as D-Reaper was quickly reformed. She went on giggling while facing off Omega X and Gallantmon.
"Damn it! What's it going to take to bring this freak down?!" Omega X asked angrily.
"How about another energy shot!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
The warriors cried out as they charged the D-Reaper. They both collided with flashes of light started to spark away from each other. The ground around them started to crumble with so much power being produced from fighters. Gallantmon's lance slashes and Omega X's fists were doing the trick on D-Reaper's soft skin.
Now it was the duo that was doing fairly well in the start. They were able to able to block every single one of D-Reaper's hits. Gallantmon goes and lands a devastating kick to the side of D-Reaper's head. Omega X then started throwing out ki-blasts. D-Reaper responded with ki-blasts of her own. Gallantmon put his shield up to block out every single ki shot. Both fighters were able to dodge each ki blast. There were many fiery explosions started to expand across the landscape while the three fighters were resting up their bodies.
[DBZ "Battle Theme" ends]
"Wow. I wonder if I'm dreaming. I don't see how this can be all real," said Mummymon.
"Well, it's real and you better believe it," exclaimed Black Gatomon, "This is just too unbelievable. This is the actual first time I've seen a battle like this."
"Well, you should have been there to experience the War Games. I was actually there in person… but yet, I get all scared when explosions are being fired around me…"
"Wuss."
Jeri covered her ears from the after effects of the blast. She felt as if she were already involved in a world war: a time period of devastation and chaos. However, she felt strong with Pikkan lying by her side. Calumon decided to comfort Jeri by hugging on her head.
"Don't worry, Jeri. I'm sure Leomon will come and save us! It will be ok!"
"I can't leave without Pikkan… I just can't…"
Metalla X, Mystic Celesta and Beelzebumon were looking on impassively. The world around them was beginning to look like a total mess.
"I'm not the one that's cleaning this up," Beelzebumon thought.
[Final Fantasy VII "Boss Battle Theme" plays]
D-Reaper started stomping her feet into the ground repeatedly, making it pop right out from the earth below and plowing itself right in front of the duo and kicking them in the face. But Omega X was able to dodge that and phases out. Gallantmon is sent falling back with a minor dent on his face. He staggers forwards. Omega X reappeared and goes flipping back. He then charges over and kicked the D-Reaper in the face, but D-Reaper were able to grab him by the foot and slams him down onto the ground. Gallantmon takes advantage and rams his shield into D-Reaper's side.
The D-Reaper lets out a cry and goes tumbling back from Gallantmon's impact.
"I HATE FOR YOU CHEAPSHOOTING ME! YOU WILL DIE!"
With that said, D-Reaper cried out and threw a large energy blast right over at the exalted knight. Omega X only managed to get up onto his feet and raises his arms in time to knock the blast out of Gallantmon's reach. Omega X then managed to deflect it upward into the skies above.
"Thanks, Tai!"
"Don't mention it, dude! You owe me!"
D-Reaper lunged over and whips out her hair, which grabbed Omega X around his neck. The hair was now stretched out as if it was whip and started choking at the fusion warrior. D-Reaper started whirling Omega X around and around, as if he were riding on a amusement park ride.
"You let him go! Lighting Joust!"
Gallantmon shoots a thunderous blast, which narrowly missed the D-Reaper by a few inches. D-Reaper whips out another strand of hair and makes Gallantmon suffer the same consequence as Omega X. She starts having a little fun by swinging the two warriors around.
"ROUND! ROUND! YOU GO! WHICH EVER IT STOPS, IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER! YOU'LL DIE ANYWAY!"
Mummymon started rooting for the duo and raised his arms around and flashes several peace signs. Black Gatomon simply ignored him and focused on the battle itself.
"Um, if you noticed, they're getting their asses kicked," Black Gatomon muttered. "What am I going to tell this Arukenimon about how he's been making a complete ass out of himself."
"Yeah! Go Omega! Go Red guy! If ya'll can't beat her, no one can! Go Omega X! Go Red Knight! Even if it is a dream!"
"I'm not house sitting this guy," the feline replied.
D-Reaper stopped her torture on the warriors and releases her grip on them. However, she lashed out and flings Omega X right into a rock face nearby. Then, she swung Gallantmon down to the grassy dirt. D-Reaper soars off and lands on top of a rock cliff. She looked down and giggles to herself. A red aura wave starts glow throughout her body and a low humming sound was heard.
"I made you hurt a little… THAT'S GOOD! HA! I LIKE SEEING YOU IN PAIN! I HATE SEEING DIGIMON HAPPY! I HATE! HATE!"
Suddenly, the rock wall started to crumble under her feet and it was quickly split by an energy blast shooting out from the rock face. Down below, Omega X was pushing the two halves of the rock face apart. Then, the whole rock mass started to explode apart into tiny pieces. D-Reaper goes flying back while Omega X continues to power up with a bright, powerful golden aura shooting out from his body.
Gallantmon made it back up on his feet and watched his tag partner rising to the occasion. Like a true warrior, Omega X was standing his ground against the demonic force of chaos.
"You okay, Takato?!"
"Yeah! I've never been better!"
"Stay tough, dude! It's time to prove you're worth! You've been dealing with amateurs up until now."
"I know. This is the true way to put myself to the test."
"Right! So, ready for a little round two?"
"You know I'm there!"
["Boss Battle Theme" ends]
Mystic Celesta cries out towards the two goggle heads with approval.
"You can do it! I can you can!"
"She's right. It's time I show Kari that I'm her pupil. Don't you worry. This one's for everyone including Rika. Don't worry, I'm not about to let you down yet, girl."
***************************************************************************************
Planet Tunip
The Destined and the Tamers were looking on with relief across their faces as they watched their friend turn the tables on the evil D-Reaper.
"Yeah, looks like he's winning," Yolei said.
"And his power is outstanding," replied Hawkmon, "Do you read that Wormmon?"
"Read it? I felt it! It almost fell my mind off!"
"It's not over yet by a long shot. I'm just glad we left before the D-Reaper would have wiped us all out and taken out data," said Tentomon.
"Just be glad that she didn't order out on some remote planet before she found us," the curious Gomamon remarked.
"This is not the time to joke, Gomamon!" Joe cried out.
Sora and Rika looked on through the orb as they clenched their fists in anticipation.
"C'mon Tai!"
"Don't you go dying yet, goggle head!"
***************************************************************************************
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Omega X and Gallantmon were looking up at the D-Reaper while still getting up onto their feet. They pushed the debris that surrounded them. Omega X's golden aura was suddenly getting brighter and brighter, which indicated his sudden ki increase. Gallantmon was rearing to go with his lance intact. D-Reaper smirked and went flying up high through the planet's atmosphere itself. The duo moved their heads up and looked right up at the D-Reaper with great anticipation.
Then with tremendous speed, D-Reaper went rocketing down straight towards her opponents. The three fighters flew right at each other as their battle resumed with their auras clashing with one another. The intense energy created from their fight was causing affects on the planet itself. The result of the fight was causing the planet to start to shake much more violently. Large masses of rock were starting to go thrusting up from the ground itself.
****************************************************************************************
Planet Tunip
Shintomon and the others were able to feel it. They couldn't believe how much energy the three fighters were both generating just from their one battle alone. It was soon felt throughout the digital universe.
"Henry. This is one hell of a slobberknocker!" Terriermon said, mimicking wrestling announcer Jim Ross. "All hell is going to break lose!"
"Note to self: Never let Terriermon watch too wrestling," Henry thought.
***************************************************************************************
Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
D-Reaper, Omega X and Gallantmon separated from each other, and then they had a momentary stare down with each other. The duo looked over at D-Reaper with intense eyes filled with hatred and raw determination. There was a wall of rocks surrounding the D-Reaper and the two warriors. D-Reaper started to giggle evilly as she forms a large sphere of ki in her outstretched hands. Omega X quickly throws out a smaller ki blast right over at the D-Reaper, but it was simply absorbed into D-Reaper's sphere. Gallantmon shoots out a massive blast from his shield, which happened to be a weaker version of his trademark Shield of the Just technique. Suddenly, her sphere started to grow into a large, apocalyptic ball that could very well spell doom for Shintomon's planet.
"NOW YOU SHALL DIE! YOU'LL NEVER COME BACK TO PISS ME OFF!"
She laughed crazily and tossed the ball right over towards the duo. The warriors look on and cry out. The duo then caught it and managed to throw it away from themselves, but the huge ball was starting to encircle the planet and comes streaking right back down from above. It goes slamming right into the planet's surface. There was a loud cracking and rumbling from within the core and the skies above were starting to become a crimson blood red. D-Reaper goes giggling evilly at the sheer sight of the apocalypse that was soon to come.
"I just love the fireworks… DON'T YOU?! HA! HA! I DO! I LOVE TO WATCH DEATH!"
Mummymon looked on and started to panic while running around and hiding a good place to hide, but found nothing but small rocks.
"Ah crap! I can't even find a good hiding spot! I'm screwed! We're going to die, Black Gatomon! We're all going to die!"
"I hate to agree with you, but you might be right! That blast is sure enough to blow us all up!"
Jeri held tightly onto Pikkan's wounded body and made sure that none rocks would fall upon them. Pikkan needed proper rest to gain back his strength. However, now wasn't the time to get any good rest, especially with a psychotic bitch planning on wasting another helpless planet.
The dark, crimson sky was now starting to be filled with streaks of massive lightning coming from the skies above. The landscape was starting to look like the digital world during its dying hours after Burizalor unleashed the Armageddon Genocide many years ago. Now the ground was starting to rift and break apart, as if an earthquake had just passed by. Soon large chunks of the planet was starting to be reduced into nothing but particles and exploding data streaks.
D-Reaper continued on laughing as pieces of fractured rock masses and lightning streaks were starting to jolt all around her. Her face had quite a twisted smile on her face and the look on her eyes were now glowing a dark, purple mist.
"ETERNAL DAMNATION! I LOVE CHAOS! My lovely, lovely chaos…"
****************************************************************************************
Planet Tunip
The entire group of the Tamers and the Destined were looking on as they started to panic and fear for the worst to come. Even, the digimon and the higher powers were becoming nervous.
"Ah! No! Tai! You can't die like this!" Sora cried out.
"Matt! No! You promised you wouldn't die on me again!"
"Beelzebumon!"
"Gogglehead! No!" Rika exclaimed, "This is totally not fair!"
"Kari! C'mon. You just have to stay alive!" TK said.
"Who ever said the D-Reaper would ever play fair?" Renamon replied.
"Who ever said? Man, get a reality check! The D-Reaper never plays fair," Kazu cried out.
"And soon we're going to be next," Kenta said.
"No! This is too soon! Taichi! Yamato! Takato! Hikari! Beelzebumon! Just hang in there! You should be able to escape this predicament! We can't lose hope!" exclaimed Shintomon.
"Yes! You're our last line of defense! The ball is in your court now!" Buddamon cried out.
"Gee, where did you ever come up with a line like that, Buddamon," Gosenzomon remarked. "Taichi. Takato. I can still feel your kis. Don't give up. You two have the power to defeat D-Reaper. You need to use it!"
"They're getting serious now, old timer. The fun is just about to get underway," X replied.
****************************************************************************************
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Mummymon goes cowering on the ground and starts crying out as if he were a child. He then started to suck his thumb and lay with Black Gatomon standing at his side. Jeri remained safe behind the rocks along with the demented duo. Pikkan has not yet woken up from his deep sleep. Calumon curiously watched over the alterian with concern.
"When's the nightmare going to be over mommy?!"
"Ugh! You've lost it, Mummymon! Hold on, I still see the fighters. It doesn't look like we're done yet."
"So, we're still alive?!"
"Yes. At least for now. You can quit acting like a baby."
Mummymon goes jumping up and celebrated by throwing his fists into the air and started hugging Black Gatomon as if he were a stuffed animal.
"We're still alive! We're still alive! Ha! Ha! Hoo!"
"Ugh. When will the hurting stop?"
The landscape was now devastated as an entire mass of rubble that now covered the luxurious land was now reduced to nothing but debris. High columns and large pieces of rocks started to pop out from certain places that were not blasted away.
Omega X and Gallantmon stood on two rock columns as they turned their focus on the D-Reaper. They had just realized something that came across their minds.
"Wow, the D-Reaper is much stronger in this adolescent form than her previous forms. I've never felt such a great power as I'm sensing right now. This is incredible," Omega X thought.
"I can't wait to show off my fullest potential. Here we go, D-Reaper. We're not holding back now!" thought Gallantmon.
Metalla X, Beelzebumon and Mystic Celesta go looking on with astonishment and shock over what just occurred. Metalla X started to speak up to break the sudden silence.
"Looks like D-Reaper was holding back for some reason. Maybe she still wants more of those two. This should get quite interesting. I still want to see this third level form that Tai was bragging about so much."
"What? He has this third level form?" asked Beelzebumon, "Then he must be the strongest guy in the whole digital universe!"
"You're in for a big surprise, boys," said Mystic Celesta, "I saw him transform and let me tell you. It was off the charts."
"Not necessarily. That depends on how much power the D-Reaper is holding back for herself," stated Metalla X.
"He has a point, babe," Beelzebumon said. "D-Reaper sure isn't going to hold out on her unlimited powers. I wouldn't count that crazy bitch out yet."
Omega X smirked and gets into a fighting stance once again. He faces off D-Reaper and speaks up.
"Its time to stop messing around, D-Reaper. How about I go ascend to my third level form?"
"This I've got to see," Gallantmon said.
D-Reaper simply smirked in response to his words, which only made the warrior to quickly power up. Within a bright flash of light, Omega X was now standing before the D-Reaper in his third level form. The spiked back on Omega X was emitting streaks of electricity and a bright golden aura engulfs the warrior. Gallantmon was astonished by the warrior's new form. This was the first time he's seen level three up close and personal.
"Remember this? I hope you're strong enough to handle it. Because this time, I'm not going to be holding back. This is it, D-Reaper. No more holdbacks."
"Yes, no more holdbacks," D-Reaper calmly stated.
"Let's do this, Tai!"
"Yeah! You're in our yard now, D-Reaper!"
That was sure a hard-hitting and intense warm-up. But will they now get serious and start the real battle already? Because if that was the warm-up, then the real battle must have greater consequences to come along the way. Will Omega X, at the third level stage, and pupil, Gallantmon, be able to defeat the D-Reaper?

Omega X & Gallantmon: D-Reaper! We're grinding you to paste!
Mystic Celesta: Look at them go!
Metalla X: Tai. I hate to admit this, but despite all the hell I've put you through, you truly are number one compared to me. There's no way I can ever reach up to your level…
TK: Hold on! My brother is actually giving a compliment to Tai?! After all these years?! It's a miracle!
Davis: TG! They need us! I don't think Tai and Takato can hold off that psycho! War Dramon is definitely needed!
TK: You're right!
Jeri: Pikkan! Please, wake up! I need you!
Pikkan: Don't you lay a hand on Jeri, bitch!
D-Reaper: ARGH! I HATE YOU! HATE! HATE! YOU DIE!
Gallantmon: What's this new power I'm gaining? Is it time?
Beelzebumon: Whoa, Pineapple head is ascending?!
Shintomon: Next time on Digimon Fusion Tamers…
Yamato's Hats Off: Taichi, You are Number One! The Crimson Knight Ascends?!
New Gallantmon: Don't you miss it!
**************************************************************************************
SSJ4T: I know there wasn't much to change in this chapter, except adding a few new lines at the beginning, putting in a few background music tunes, adding Gallantmon in as a tag team partner for Omega X and allowing D-Reaper to curse out like a psychotic bitch, but the next chapters will add in new additions to the battle. You'll be seeing Metalla X, Beelzebumon, Mystic Celesta, War Dramon and Pikkan joining in!
Max: You're right this D-Reaper is a fucking psycho! Plus Gallantmon finally gets his long-awaited upgrade. I think it was a good idea for Omega X to form the Life Bomb, but for Gallantmon to use it.
Coral: Just make sure to have the D-Reaper's death more painful than it was in the original version.
SSJ4T: I intend to. If you thought Burizalor's death was sick, then you'd be shocked what happens to D-Reaper. Anyway, be sure to read the latest Zero Two fic. Celesta X kicks plenty of ass there. Until then, peace!

Coral: Why don't we share a beer instead. Bring on the Steveweisers?
Stone Cold: Well, it is a day after Thanksgiving, so I could use some beer to wash down that turkey and stuffing. Give us some damn beer!
Stone Cold turns and catches some beer. He hands one to SSJ4T, then one to Max and another to Coral.
SSJ4T: While we enjoy ourselves a little beer bash, you guys get on and read the fic! Enjoy!

Yamato's Hats Off: Taichi, You are Number One! The Crimson Knight Ascends!
Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
Back on the nearly reduced and decimated planet, the now powered up third-level Omega X and Gallantmon were standing on top of nearby rock precipices as they glared down upon the psychotic weapon of destruction, D-Reaper. She stood on another rock ledge while giggling to herself. The red aura around her was starting to get even darker and larger.
Mummymon goes hiding from the scene with Black Gatomon at his side. His eyes were closed while covering his head.
"Tell me when it's going to be over, Black Gatomon. Tell me when it's going to be over."
"It doesn't look like its about to be over anytime soon."
"Man, you black cats are nothing more than bad luck. I should have listened to Arukenimon much more on those stupid superstitions. Go, Omega X! Kick her butt! Give her a one two!"
"Ha, some coward you are," remarked Black Gatomon.
"Oh, Pikkan," Jeri muttered. "Please, they'll need you. I just hope you're wounds heal in time."
"Poor, Pikkan. He needs some nappy time. Culu," the tiny digimon cooed.
D-Reaper grinned over towards Omega X and Gallantmon before suddenly starting to charge up another attack. The duo both quickly phased out and started to a double team spar against the D-Reaper across the darkened skies above. Because of this, the trio created large masses of energy throughout the skies above. Mummymon merely saw flashes of light sparking off onto one another. Omega X shoots out a ki blast that nearly blasted D-Reaper into pieces, but she was able to maneuver around it. Gallantmon went for another Lightning Joust technique, but was unable to catch up with D-Reaper's speed. Growing frustrated, the duo threw out a double blast towards the deletion program. Unfortunately, she quickly turned as the massive blast struck her.
The tag team duo looked on and basically wasted time as the pieces managed to come together and the D-Reaper was able to reform hastily. She regenerated herself and started attacking the two warriors once again.
Gallantmon runs across the landscape, while Omega took it to the skies against the D-Reaper. The two clashed into the skies as they traded blow for blow, emitting sparks of light among each other and hard fists were thrown at each other's fists. They seemed to be evenly matched as of now, but could change into either one's favor.
"Tai better hold her off while I recover," Gallantmon said. "Stay in the game, Tai! We've got her on the run!"
"Easy for you to say!" Omega X cries out.
Planet Tunip
The Tamers and the Digi-Destined were looking on with astonishment at the turn out of the battle itself. The digimon have been moving their eyes around back and forth as if trying to follow the movements of the sparks of light that the two fighters were battling as.
Shintomon and Buddamon both were able to keep up with their movements but were amazed at how fast their fighting rate was improved over a short period of time, especially that of Omega X. That power up that he received a little while ago really has helped him a lot.
"Oh yeah! He nails her with a right and a left! Oh, c'mon! Who taught you how to fight!" Terriermon teased.
"That would be me," X replied. "I see you're enjoying yourself, Terriermon."
"Heh. You bet."
"I don't see you out there helping any."
"Hey, that was low of you, Zorro!"
"Terriermon…" Henry muttered. "What did I tell you about name calling?"
"You don't need to worry," the masked man said. "I've had my share of insults and I don't let them weigh in on me."
"Henry? When do we get a crack shot at the D-Reaper? I just can't sit around here and do nothing!"
"Not yet, we'll wait until Takato and the others are giving out."
"Looks like they're just about to give out as we speak," Shintomon stated. "C'mon, Tai! Don't hold back! I don't even care if you happen to nuke my planet, just defeat the D-Reaper!"
Digial Limbo
Even, down in the depths of Digital Limbo, the evil villains were watching the battle unfold through a crystal ball as well. Among those familiar villains in the crowd were Metal Etemon, Devimon, Metalseadramon, Puppetmon, Burizalor, Datamon, Iceladydevimon, Shadramon, Neo Devimon, Piedmon and Virus. They were all looking on with great astonishment at their greatest adversary. The digimon villains are unable to recognize Omega X, but Burizalor and Virus could remember him quite well.
"Hey! Isn't that the boy who inherited the crest of courage?" asked Metalseadramon, "I can recognize that power! How am I able to sense his power!"
"That's him! Whoa! Talk about a power growth!" Puppetmon cried out.
"So, Agumon's power has grown tremendously since those many years ago?" Neo Devimon. "I have a lot of catching up to do."
"He's fighting the true enemy," stated Mihiramon. "I shouldn't have been sent to Limbo for this. That Magimon manipulated me and forced me to betray my master, Zhuqiaomon."
"So, who are you going for?" Marine Devilin asked.
"Neither… I hope they bother perish."
"Feh, you're no fun," Skull Satan muttered. "That Digi-Destined punk is going to die!"
Burizalor had a rather angry look on his face and could remember what happened when he faced Omega X many years ago. He still couldn't get over that and was clenching his fists.
"Cool it, Burizalor. We know about you're run-in with this guy," said Metal Etemon, "But times have changed. Lets move on and just watch…"
"Kick his ass, whoever you are! I want you to kill him!" Burizalor shouted to the crystal ball. "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
"He's bitter isn't he?" asked Datamon.
"Very," Skull Satamon replied.
"Wow. You guys want to kick his ass even more than I do," Virus said, "Why didn't Taichi go all out in his battle with me? I was looking forward to a real contest of strength. This little imp is putting up more of a fight than I did."
"Hey? Who's that girl that Omega X is fighting. I can't believe I'm sensing a great power from her," said Demidevimon.
Suddenly, there was a sudden laughter in the background. The villains all turned around and saw none other than Dark Magimon himself.
"That girl would none other be my servant. That is the D-Reaper, the single most destructive force ever created. My father, Black Magimon, created her. Have you guys ever met him?"
"NO!"
"Well, anyway, I taught all of those moves for the D-Reaper. Now she's going to help get the job done. I sense that she already has destroyed the Earth. All she has to do is exterminate the four Digital Realms, and then my goal shall be completed! Ha! Ha!"
"Yes! Don't worry. I'm sure that this guy isn't going to last any longer with you're pupil," said Piedmon.
"Yes, I hope this entertains you my good friends. Enjoy the fireworks!"
"We will, Magimon!"
As soon as Magimon goes walking out laughing, the villains were looking back at the battle in great awe. But just as Dark Magimon walked out of the chamber, he growled and started to curse under his breath.
"Argh! I hope that Omega X beats that no good traitor! You hear me! I hope you kill that traitor for me!"
Looking on from a far distance, Black War Greymon watched the battle unfold through the orb. A look of curiosity crossed his stone cold glare.
"Taichi… My how the mighty has risen. I may have been created to exterminate you, but you've earned my respect. You've already surpassed me and are willing to stake you're life for the sake of others. You possess pride, one of the seven deadly sins. But it is that sin that will help save the Digital Universe. How ironic…"
The dark mega continued watching the battle unfold and studied everything his former enemy was throwing at the imp known as D-Reaper.
Planet Tunip
The group of Tamers and the Destined were continuing the watches the battle unfold between Omega X level three and the D-Reaper. However, the higher powers were soon starting to worry.
"If the battle continues at this rate, then we should very well kiss the sacred grounds of our planet goodbye," Buddamon said.
"Yes. Its such a shame it had to end this way," replied Shintomon.
"I wouldn't say that," stated X. "Don't worry about it. We'll fix it right up."
"You younglings always worry about every small detail," Gosenzomon replied. "We'll clean it up. This is the fate of the Digital Universe we're talking about it. Let them throw out the rulebook and turn this into an anything goes brawl! I just love watching some ass kicking."
"Either he's been watching too many of those kung fu movies or the old coot flipped," Yamaki thought. "Either way, there's not really much you can do, guardian."
"Such a shame," Shintomon said. "And I decorated the whole planet for the past few hundred years."
Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
Omega X and Gallantmon slammed D-Reaper through the ground below with tremendous force. But she manages to tuck herself into a ball and charges right back up at the warriors, striking them in the chest. Omega X goes coughing out blood as a result of the blow. Gallantmon lands face-firs on the ground. D-Reaper bounced off the rock walls as if she was a ping-pong ball and continues to pursue Omega X. Omega X dropped towards the ground and D-Reaper slams into it in a blast of rubble.
(Dragonball Z "Hikari no Will Power" plays)
D-Reaper's major impact has managed to create a deep depression into the ground below. Omega X gazed down upon it, as if wondering where his adversary was. She looked as if she instantly disappeared. Suddenly, the ground started to rumble like an earthquake, which causes Omega X to move out towards that direction. Unfortunately, he was unable to pinpoint the location of D-Reaper. Gallantmon rose to his feet just in time before D-Reaper could pull him through the ground.
Suddenly, D-Reaper comes blasting up and buries the duo into a pile of rubble. They realized that D-Reaper was already reading their moves well as if she had already analyzed their techniques. The duo slowly made it to their feet and glared at the monster as she starts giggling.
"I JUST LOVE THIS! CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION! DON'T YOU LOVE IT! HA!"
Metalla X, Beelzebumon and Mystic Celesta all looked on from a distant cliff, each amazed at the D-Reaper's unlimited power supply. It was quite unpredictable and neither one could detect her movements.
The D-Reaper goes to dive in for another attack, and this causes Omega X to force himself to go all out in this battle. Gallantmon used more time to recover from his wounds and to find an opening to restart his attack.
"She's detecting every single one of my movements and techniques. I better go all out and throw out the damn rulebook! Time to fight dirty!"
"I HATE FAIRPLAY! I'LL KILL YOU DEAD!"
"Come and hit us with everything you have, D-Reaper! I promise we're not going down until you're we hand you you're ass!" Gallantmon exclaimed, under Takato's voice. "I don't like this cursing, Takato. However, we're fighting D-Reaper so let's curse all we want!"
Omega X quickly cups his hands together and forms an energy ball in his hands. As soon as D-Reaper came closer at him, Omega X thrusts his cupped hands forwards with tremendous force behind it.
"Terra Beam!"
D-Reaper stopped at her tracks and was engulfed in the beam of light. She screamed out as she was quickly vaporized. Omega X manages to power down and flies down with an exhausted look on his face. He had felt his tremendous energy force leaving him as a result. He released a great deal of energy while in his third level form, which took a lot out of the warrior.
"Yeah! Way to go, Tai! I didn't have to use the last reserves of my power to waste her!"
"Shit, it's not over… How obvious…"
"Say what! But you wasted her!"
"Remember, she can regenerate and at a molecular level!"
"Aw, crap!"
However, their sudden victory ended as the pieces of D-Reaper started to reform into smaller, multiple versions of the D-Reaper. They all looked upward and each started to fire ki blasts towards the duo. This was enough for the warriors to take the blasts and Omega X quickly powers out of his third ascendant form. Omega X fell down on his knees as if he were about to pass out from power exhaustion. Gallantmon took the blasts and was brought down to his knees. Fortunately for them, they were deleted from D-Reaper's blasts. They had been very lucky to survive this far longer than anyone expected.
"That's it! You two stay here for now! I'm going down there!" Metalla X cried out.
"But you'll end up as Tai! You can't even go ascend into the third level!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed.
"Let him go, pineapple head. If he wants to take her on alone, then we should respect his wishes," said Beelzebumon, "Besides, if I were him, I would have just gone out there and given it my all."
Metalla X goes speeding off into the battlefield. Mystic Celesta looked on with astonishment while Beelzebumon managed to remain cool and concentrated on the turnout of the battle itself.
"But lets just see if Metalla X puts up a good effort against this thing," Beelzebumon said in thought.
Metalla X goes landing onto the battlefield and runs over towards Omega X's side. Omega X didn't have enough strength to pull himself up, but Metalla X realized that his comrade needed to take a rest for a while.
"Matt! Thank goodness. We were just getting the tar beaten out of us!" Gallantmon stated. "Whatever you do, watch out for her energy blasts. They put some damage to our bodies."
"Don't underestimate her, Matt. She's more powerful than she looks. If she was able to take Takato and I down while still in my third level form, then there's no possible way you can defeat her on your own."
End theme
"I KILL THEM DEAD! HOW FUN THIS IS! LA! LA! LA! HA! HA! HA!"
"Don't worry. You two try to regain your ki. I'll take this psycho bitch."
The small D-Reapers all started to laughed as they were quickly reforming into a cloud, which would then once again form into the D-Reaper. Metalla X screamed out and powers up to his second level form. He flies out in pursuit of the little D-Reapers and starts hurling ki-blasts over at each and every one of them. D-Reaper quickly reforms into one body and starts laughing maniacally. She goes and shoots an energy attack at Metalla X and starts attacking her adversary. She was now easily trashing her adversary.
"I really can't believe that those two boys did so well against this thing, yet D-Reaper is handing my ass on a silver platter! Tai was right! I never should have underestimate D-Reaper's unlimited power! Fuck, she's way too fast!"
Metalla X manages to dash out of D-Reaper's reach, and she started mocking him by making silly faces at him.
"No! I'm the Digi-Destined of Friendship! I have longed to become the leader of the Digi-Destined, ever since our first adventure. I even tackled with the strongest forces out there myself. But yet, I end up being the one whose face is in the damn mud. But not now! I can't allow myself to be defeated so easily again! Hell no! I'm not going fail!"
Metalla X goes on the offense and starts attacking D-Reaper, who easily starts evading each of his attacks. Metalla X flies back and starts firing ki blasts, which managed to blast away D-Reaper's legs off. But they were quickly regenerated. Metalla X cries out angrily and shoots them off several more times. But each time, the efforts were proven to be futile as D-reaper simply regenerated her legs.
D-Reaper pulls back on her leg, as it started stretching out. She then pulls back and deliver s a kick to Metalla X's stomach. This resulted him to go flying back through a nearby rock face. D-Reaper grins over at him, and Metalla X was slowly making up on his feet.
"There's no way I'm going to beat this monster myself! There's just no way at all! Shit!"
D-Reaper slowly starts approaching Metalla X as she prepared to fire a large energy blast at him. Metalla X started to cross his arms over his face, in a defensive position.
"This is the end… I can't believe it had to end like this. This is goodbye, Tai…"
D-Reaper starts walking over and prepares to blast Metalla X right out of existence. But then just in the nick of them, Omega X goes lunging up from below and strikes D-Reaper, sending her backwards. Gallantmon leaps towards the D-Reaper and blasts her away with her away with a massive shield blast.
"Shield of the Just!"
However, the punishment wasn't going to end from there. There were two more blasts coming out of nowhere.
"Holy Beam!"
"Death Slinger!"
The energy blasts managed to push the D-Reaper back further into several rock faces nearby. Mystic Celesta and Beelzebumon both stood while attempting to catch their breath, with their respective weapons already smoking with exhaustion.
"D-Reaper, you maybe the strongest fighter in the digital universe. But there's no way we're going to give up in this battle," Mystic Celesta said.
"Yeah! You picked five wrong guys to mess with," Beelzebumon replied, "How do you like it when you face ends up being in the mud? Let me tell ya, its not good. I even had to experience it myself."
"We're not going to lose that easily, D-Reaper. No matter how much you try to kill us, we're still going to keep coming at you with every within the inch of our bodies! Until the end of time if we have to!" Omega X cried out.
"Let me put this in words so that you can understand: Just bring it!" Gallantmon waved his hand over to the enemy.
"I HATE YOU ALL! YOU TALK SO DAMN MUCH! I KILL YOU DEAD!"
With that said, Omega X quickly explodes with a golden aura of light and charges right for the D-Reaper once again, which to Metalla X's surprise. He then transforms straight into his third level form and attacks the D-Reaper with gusts of energy behind him. Gallantmon follows it up with a massive power-up. His armor was giving off a crimson red aura.
Metalla X goes dropping to the ground as he gazes up and witnesses the battle unfolds between the D-Reaper, Omega X and Gallantmon. He was now about to say something that would definitely bring about the end to their long-time rivalry that has ensued ever since they first went into the Digital World on their first adventure. These words would finally change the way Matt has always been, a second-rate Digi-Destined wanting to be leader for such a long time.
"Tai… You have definitely proven it on many occasions and I'm not going to be opposing your power any longer. You are destined to be the leader of the Digi-Destined. NO matter how hard I've tried, you always seem to overcome many odds and surpass me. It's just like you Kamiyas. You always seem to come out on top in the end. First, you surpassed me, then your own sister surpassed me and now you have once again risen to new levels of power. Omega X Level Three! When did I ever see it coming? Never, I was too foolish to realize this. Tai, you are the greatest Digi-Destined and the one that will lead us into victory in the end. Now, you have a pupil like Takato? You and him are the only ones that rival the D-Reaper, at this moment. I certainly won't forget what happened during all of those times…"
Flashback
Tai and Matt were arguing over finding the other Digi-Destined back then during their first adventures. Matt was angry over the fact that he believed Tai wouldn't help him find TK first.
"No! First we find TK, and then we'll fight your battles! Who died to make you the leader!"
"Dude what's eating you!"
End of Flashback
"You seemed so bossy and always wanted to get your way all the time. That was one thing that I hated about you. But you always seem to think that was the right choice to do. And it usually always was. I hated myself for being so wrong. I was just nothing more than a whiny child always trying to get my way. I've always been like that. Then, there was the time you and I finally had our showdown. It was a moment I would never forget. I was turned into an evil bastard all because of Burizalor's damn influence. He used me to kill you and kidnap Takeru."
Flashback
"Matt! What has gotten into you? Why are you being such an ass and what's the point of joining with guys like Neo Devimon and Etemon?"
"I have a reason. I wanted to be leader of the Digi-Destined. I wanted to lead the team. However, you wouldn't allow me. Now TK looks up to you more than he does me."
"That's not true. He loves you as his big brother. I'm just a step brother to him, but you're his real brother."
"Quit trying to butter me up. I will take TK back from you. I won't allow you to corrupt his mind anymore."
"Dude, what are you on!"
"I was given a chance and recruited. I wanted my digimon to become stronger than yours and he has given me that opportunity."
"Who is this 'he'? Who gave you this chance? Is he the one who recruited you?"
"Heh. You bet your damn dollar that he did. I am now given the chance to kill you and take my brother back. He's going to be a fine soldier."
"You're wrong. You're being deceived. Whoever recruited you is an idiot. He has no idea of your crest of friendship. That's who you are. You're the Digi-Destined of friendship."
"Ugh! Stop it with this crap! Enough! How could a low life like you understand? I was chosen to be the top elite and I have pretty much lived up to that reputation. Now, I just let you speak your mind. Shall we begin?"
"Whatever. Let's get this over with."
"Metal Garurumon! You're up!"
"Right."
"Don't let me down, War Greymon."
"I got this one."
With that said, Metal Garurumon crouched back and was ready to go. He readied his missiles and growled to himself. War Greymon crouches and takes a battle pose. The two faced off as the winds were blowing at their directions. Tai faced off against Matt as they pierced looks towards one another.
The two megas struggled with one another as the blasts were forcing each other back. The entire area was brightened by the powerful light, which the blasts were emitting. War Greymon pushed back within every fiber in his body. Metal Garurumon did the same thing and was gaining more ground. From then, War Greymon had no choice but to increase his power.
"Mach Speed Times Five!"
With that said, War Greymon releases more power and his Terra Beam increased in massive size. It easily overtaken Metal Garurumon's attack and was being launched back towards him. Metal Garurumon looked on with shock as his eyes widened. Matt gasped with a gaping mouth, but Tai stood proud.
"Metal Garurumon!"
The metallic wolf was launched backwards along with the blast. War Greymon watched as the blast sent Metal Garurumon soaring towards the skies above. War Greymon kneeled to the ground as his body was quickly giving out on him. Tai jumped up and raised his fists in victory.
"Yeah! We did it! You sent Metal Garurumon to kingdom come!"
End of Flashback
""Unfortunately, you were well-prepared for me and War Greymon overwhelmed Metal Garurumon. Nonetheless, I hated you for that. Then, there was the time you arrived on Spiral Mountain and War Greymon made Metal Tyrannus look like he were standing still…"
Flashback
"You punks are going bye bye! GIGA-"
The digimon started to panic, which didn't suite well for the children. Tai simply stood there as he gazed at the scene. Matt and Metal Garurumon waited for who would make their move first.
"DESTROYER- II-"
Suddenly, the titan felt an unpleasant pain across his chest and his eyes bulged out from his head. He stood and looked down to find War Greymon with an elbow across the titan's exposed chest. War Greymon stepped away and left Metal Tyrannus staggering around in pain.
"Sorry about that, but my digimon saw an opening that screamed out attack. And so, he did," Tai stated.
The Digi-Destined were stunned beyond belief, even the digimon were shocked by the sudden turn of events. War Greymon easily took down a monster, which gave everyone else a hard time. It was all from just one simple elbow blow to the gut. Metal Tyrannus fell to the ground unconscious. Marine Devilin and Skull Satan were shocked. Metal Tyrannus was put down in one blow.
"Did War Greymon just beat him?" Kari asked.
"N-No way. It can't be possible," Sora muttered.
"All he gave him was a simple elbow shot to the gut," said Gatomon.
"Damn him!" Matt muttered. "So, what's the verdict, Metal Garurumon?"
"It was no trick not was it a technique. It was just as we saw. It was just one tremendous blow."
"Then he's utterly surpassed a mega digimon's strength! He's a completely different warrior from the one that Metal Garurumon fought in the digital world. What kind of training did he do? Is the legend true? Is he the one? The chosen digital warrior with a united human and digimon soul?"
End of Flashback
"At last, you were able to surpass me, Tai! You and Agumon were always a great team. However, I never took that road to success. I've always had to climb to reach to the top. What separated you from myself was that you've smiled at very possible new evil force that has arrived to challenge you're authority. Whether it be Burizalor, Virus or Datamon himself. You've always laughed at the possible opposition. Even if they were a million times stronger than yourself. You've always been like that from the start."
Omega X and Gallantmon executed a double-clothesline to take down the D-Reaper. The entity recovers by jumping up onto her feet. She blasts them both with massive ki-blasts.
"You've definitely proved your worth, Tai. You have managed to damage my pride. My main goal was to surpass and replace you as the leader of the Digi-Destined. I've always strived to become the best there ever was. But I've failed. Is it really the love for Sora, your sister, your family and the other Digi-Destined that inspired you to reach for this level of power? But that couldn't be right. I have my own fiancée, Mimi, and I already have a son. I guess its because Tai and myself fight for different reasons- I kill my enemies and anybody who hurts my family. Tai only surpasses his limits to protect those he loves. That's why he never felt the need to really kill anybody, unless it was for a good reason. That's why he let me live too. I can't deny this anymore; there is no point in denying. Tai, you may have a good heart. You can come off as an arrogant punk, but one with good heart. You are the greatest digital warrior… You are number one"
Mystic Celesta and Beelzebumon looked onto the battlefield and were watching Metalla X this whole time.
"I think he's finally realized who really is number one," Mystic Celesta. "He finally admitted that Tai is the best?"
"Well I'll be damned," Beezlebumon replied. "The guy actually has a heart."
Omega X and Gallantmon knocks down the D-Reaper into the ground and pursues her. D-Reaper goes for her kicking technique once again as she plunged her foot into the ground and having it come up below Omega X. She then fires away a ki-blast, which Omega X was able to maneuver from using a 'time warp' teleportation technique. Gallantmon jumps out of nowhere and slashes D-Reaper in half with a swipe from his lance. Unfortunately, the imp pieced herself back to together.
"Damn! She keeps on regenerating!"
Omega X comes out of nowhere and kicks D-Reaper in the head. D-Reaper's head goes snapping back and then goes nailing Omega X right in the gut, causing him to go flying back into a nearby wall. D-Reaper turns and twists around Gallantmon. The exalted knight struggles as D-Reaper starts ramming her fists into his face.
"NOW DIE, GALLANTMON! JUST DIE!"
With that said, D-Reaper flings Gallantmon through a rock wall. Omega X quickly recovers as he and D-Reaper continued their long, hard fought battle while everyone was watching intently.
That also included beings from other dimensions and the villains down in digital limbo.
Planet Tunip
Every one of the Digi-Destined and the Tamers were looking on with great anticipation over the turn out of the battle. Shintomon and the higher powers were crossing their fingers, in hopes of seeing Omega X come out on top of this battle.
Sora looks on intently as she clenched her fists tightly and started shaking to herself.
"C'mon, Tai. You can do it. You got the power to defeat D-Reaper. You should use it…"
"I can't take this anymore!" TK exclaimed. "Davis! It looks like they will need our help after all!"
"Yeah! You just read my mind!"
"Wait! Are you two crazy!" Shintomon cries out. "You two still haven't recovered from the last battle!"
"We don't care," TK responded. "Look, I understand you care for our well-beings, but those are our friends out there. Besides, Kari still hasn't recovered from that lat encounter with the D-Reaper. We're fresh. Let us go!"
"Please! Unless you want to see you're chosen ones get their asses handed to them!" Davis exclaimed.
"Let them go," X responded. "I can't argue with them. TK. Davis. I admire you're courage. I know War Dramon will definitely be needed. Go, and don't let Shintomon stop you."
"Thanks, X" TK said. "Patamon! It's fusion time!"
"Right!"
"Veemon! We're up to bat!"
"We're to kick some tail!"
With that said, TK and Davis' D-3s released a massive aura of light. Their bodies transformed into auras and were quickly merged with their digimon partners.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
"War Dramon!"
The newly fused warrior looks over towards the orb and a grin forms on his face.
"Teleport us there, Shintomon! We're running out of time!"
"Um, yes…"
"Those are some brave young people," Mrs. Matsuki said.
"Just like our little boy."
"Hang on tight," the Supreme guardian stated. "You know what to do."
"Yeah."
As soon as the Supreme guardian said that, War Dramon places his hand on Shintomon and they were then transported out from the planet.
"Hopefully, they can help get the job done," Riley said.
"These beings are very resourceful. If they were able to put me in my place, then the D-Reaper will have a difficult time defeating them," the blonde-haired government agent said.
"Yamaki…"
"Call it a hunch, but I vision an ultimate struggle between good and evil. When I mean ultimate, I vision God vs. Lucifer. However, which side is really believes in justice and whose actions will finally be justified."
"What are you saying?" Shibumi asked.
Yamaki remained silent as his eyes viewed the battle continue to unfold. Were his premonitions accurate or was he simply giving false hope?
Shintomon's Sacred Sancutary
Shintomon and War Dramon found themselves on the sacred planet. The warrior looked across and popped his knuckles.
"You know what to do, War Dramon."
"We'll take it from here."
"Good luck."
As soon as Shintomon teleported back to Planet Tunip, War Dramon flies out across the landscape and picked up a large collection of ki on the other side.
"Good! They're still fighting! Look at these chaos and destruction. Heh, time to play a little soldier boy!"
The warrior boosts his ki, which allowed him to fly across the planet and towards the battlefield quicker than he could muster.
(Dragonball Z "Battle theme" plays)
D-Reaper goes flying up and then reappears right on top of a rock precipice and starts powering up with great tremendous force. She then holds out her hands and fires down a massive ki blast down at her enemies. Omega X and Gallantmon look on with shock as it started to engulf them and explode violently into the ground itself.
Metalla X shields himself from the flying debris that was picking up throughout the landscape. It's tremendous force easily caught Mummymon and Black Gatomon as they were both sent flying back. Jeri held onto Pikkan with dear life and Calumon struggled to keep himself safe under some rock crevices.
"These winds are getting strong! Calumon! I don't think I can hold on much longer!"
"Think happy thoughts!"
"Yeah, like that would really help!"
Pikkan remained unconscious despite what was going on. However, his wounds were close to being fully healed. Could he actually return back into action?
Mystic Celesta and Beelzebumon both held their own from the massive explosion.
"HA! I KILL THEM DEAD! HA! YES! NO MORE ANNOYING PESTS!"
D-Reaper smirks at the billowing cloud of dust starting to pick up within the air all around him. But just as she was about to ensure victory, she heard two loud calls from out of the smoke and it sounded quite like combination of Omega X and Gallantmon. In fact, it was them and there was a sudden energy increase coming from where they were laying. She then heard two attacks being called out.
"TER-RA…"
"LIGHTNING-"
"BE-AM!"
"JOUST!"
The double blasts were fired from out of the large smoke cloud, and the D-Reaper attempted to block it out. But the blast managed to pass through and vaporized her left arm. But with her regenerative powers, she was easily able to regenerate her left arm. Gallantmon leaps out from the crater to recover. This allowed Omega X to go on the offensive attack again, and he continued to battle D-Reaper throughout the skies. They both traded blow for blow. D-Reaper grabs her adversary by the leg and starts swinging him around and around, hurling him into some nearby rocks.
Omega X recovers and goes firing away several ki blasts over at D-Reaper, which the monster was struggling for a few moments before managing to send them straight back down at Omega X. There was a sudden massive explosion, which left a crater, but as soon as the dust clears, there was now Omega X in sight. D-Reaper quickly begins to realize that her adversary was dead but failed to realize that Omega X was right behind her. She turns around and gets slammed downward by Omega X. D-Reaper spreads her limbs out in order to catch herself within the fall. Omega X pursues her, kicking the D-Reaper into the ground and ki blasting her at a close range.
Omega X's gunpoint blank range was able to rip a gaping hole straight down through the ground itself. The D-Reaper was nowhere to be seen. Before Omega X was able to rest to catch his breath, a hand comes reaching out and snatches Omega X by the foot. D-Reaper goes pulling down Omega X into a nearby underground cavern, slamming him against several rock faces before releasing the warrior.
Omega X starts to sit up with a rather painful look on his face.
"D-Reaper, your power is pretty impressive. You've been able to keep up with my speed and power. I commend you. I never really had anybody gone into the distance with me."
"HA! HA! NOW I KILL YOU DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!"
"I could have easily wasted this bitch when Matt and I were fused as Kaiser X! But there's no use in changing back time already. What's done is done."
"Tai! Are you all right!" Gallantmon calls out from above.
"Looking better…"
"SHUT UP! YOU TALK TOO MUCH! I HATE YOU FOR THAT!"
The two fighters charged at each other once again and began to battle against one another. Omega X delivers a kick that's ends the D-Reaper flying through a nearby rock wall. Omega X suddenly drops down to his hands and knees, tired and exhausted from the excessive power while in his third level form. As soon as the dust started to clear, it revealed the D-Reaper completely unscathed and giggling cheerfully.
D-Reaper quickly started attacking once again, but Omega X was able to blast her with an energy shot. They flew up through the caverns and were back onto the surface. The D-Reaper manages to reform her body while in the air.
"Damn! I can't keep using the same attacks over and over again. I'm willing to bet that the D-Reaper will suspect it and will use that as an advantage in this battle. I better take it easy before the tide turns. Plus it's rather pointless to use the same attacks, since D-Reaper is able to regenerate herself."
"Tai!"
Omega X quickly turns around to the source of the voice. He saw Gallantmon flying by and landing right next to him.
"So, Takato. You want a crack shot at the D-Reaper, again? Well I can't always be hogging up the fight, that's for sure."
"I know we don't stand a chance, but let us have a shot at her. I'll admit that D-Reaper is much stronger than me, but not stronger than you, Tai. I believe that the fully powered third level fusion warrior can surely defeat this monster," the bio-merged knight said.
"Sure. I really needed a minute to catch my breath and conserve my strength," said Omega X, "Go ahead. Impress me, Takato."
"All right, D-Reaper! I know you don't understand the words that are coming out of my mouth, but I'll let my actions speak for my words!" Gallantmon asked. "Let's waste her, Takato!"
D-Reaper smirks and gets into a fighting pose. Gallantmon forms his shield and joust in both hands and faced off against the evil D-Reaper.
"I'll fight you for one minute, to allow Omega X to regain his power. So what do you say?"
"ME? I HATE YOU TOO! YOU DIE JUST LIKE LOUD MOUTH OVER THERE!"
"Just give a try."
Gallantmon goes facing the D-Reaper, as Metalla X slowly sits up from the ground. He goes calling out to the bio-merged knight.
"Takato! Don't do it! You don't know what you're up against. You're only going to face certain death as we speak," Metalla X protested.
"I'm sorry, Matt. But this is the only way," replied Gallantmon. "You don't have to worry about me. Just watch over Tai and make sure he regains his power in full tact."
Metalla X looks grateful and walks right over towards the fallen Omega X. He turns his attention onto the battle.
"Give it your best, Takato," replied Metalla X.
"Thanks. I'm definitely going to need luck on my side."
"Now don't go dying on me," Beelzebumon cries out, "I don't want to have to give you a proper burial because I'm not that kind of guy…"
"That was a cold thing to say," Mystic Celesta replied.
"Hey, I'm just looking at a realistic point of view, babe."
"And would you stop calling me babe!"
"Sure, whatever Beelzebumon," Gallantmon remarked, under Guilmon's voice. "Ready Takato?"
"Battle Theme" fades
(Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays)
Gallantmon quickly powers up with a bright, red aura surrounding his body. He goes charging forwards at the D-Reaper with his lance outwards as if ready to stab his way through the monster. Gallantmon starts striking at D-Reaper with his lance, but the monster managed to maneuver away from each deadly swipe. Gallantmon fires several ki blasts from his shield. But D-Reaper easily saw them coming and flies around.
Gallantmon goes appearing out of nowhere, catching D-Reaper completely off guard. The bio-merged knight held up a sphere from the tip of his lance and shoots it right down at the monster.
"Lightning Joust!"
The blast goes and blasts D-Reaper's lower half, then he follows it up with quick swipes followed by several shield blasts that immediately cause an explosion around the D-Reaper.
Mummymon cries out and cowers into the ground and shield Black Gatomon, who struggled under his tight grip.
"Ah! Let me go! Let me go! Ack! Can't breathe!"
"Please help us! I want my mommy!"
A gust of wind comes blowing by and pushes both Mummymon and Black Gatomon back further away from the battle that was ensuing. Jeri held onto Pikkan with a tight grip.
Gallantmon continues to fire rapid ki blasts from his shield down onto the ground, as they quickly disappear into a large, billowing cloud of black smoke. Omega X and Metalla X looked on with impressive looks on their faces. Gallantmon continues blasting away at the smoke, but little did he realize that small particles were all forming from behind him. D-Reaper's body reforms and Gallantmon was unable to react quickly enough to avoid being slammed down onto the ground. D-Reaper goes landing right next to the fallen knight and kicks him, sending him sailing across the ground. D-Reaper follows in pursuit and kicks him yet again, causing Takato from within to cough out a little blood. Then she slams him in the head. Gallantmon goes collapsing into several rock beds, where D-Reaper kicks him yet again.
Flying far off from the battlefield, War Dramon picked up D-Reaper's ki. An arrogant grin formed across his face.
"Time for a little gameplay!"
Planet Tunip
Rika was looking on through the orb with a rather nervous look on her face, which was unlike Rika. The others were starting to believe that she really does care for the goggle boy.
"Rika? You need to control yourself," Renamon said.
"How can I? Takato is out there betting pummeled! He's going to die if this keeps up!"
"Not exactly," replied Gosenzomon, "That Gallantmon is said to be quite resourceful. We'll just have to wait and see if that's true or not."
The red-haired girl turned her attention back on the crystal ball and clenched her fists tightly.
"C'mon! You promised you wouldn't lose, goggle head! You got to keep your promise."
Shintomon's Sacred Sancturary
Gallantmon was lying motionless on the rocky ground below. He struggles to lift himself up.
"C'mon Guilmon. We have to at least survive for another minute…"
D-Reaper waits for her adversary and giggles to herself. Gallantmon gets up onto his feet and walks over to face D-Reaper. She started taunting him and waved her hand over as if telling him to bring it. Gallantmon charged and powers up. He goes and lands several good blows on the D-Reaper, before the monster kicks him and slams the bio-merged mega down onto the ground.
Everyone, including Rika, was watching in distress. Rika couldn't contain herself and was growling angrily under her breath.
D-Reaper descends to the ground and grins over towards a fallen Gallantmon. The knight was lying on the ground with almost a lifeless glare in his eyes. He slowly turns his attention over to Omega X, who was looking on with anger. He starts moving towards the fused warrior. Gallantmon starts calling out to him and Metalla X.
"Tai… Matt…"
Omega X merely looked back at the bio-merged knight and nodded. Gallantmon turns his attention back on D-Reaper with his breathing becoming labored and barely able to stand.
"I'm not finished with you yet, D-Reaper… You're a coward for running away from me like that! A damn coward!"
These remarks eventually infuriated the D-Reaper as she screams and charges out at Gallantmon. Gallantmon gets into a battle position and goes to blast her away.
"Shield of the Just!"
As soon as he shoots out a large blast from the shield, it goes shooting out at the D-Reaper, who opens a hole in her stomach and the blast goes passing harmlessly through.
"Now you die… JUST DIE ALREADY! DIE!"
Omega X looks on, who was unable to help, and starts to move about. Metalla X holds his comrade back.
"C'mon, Takato! You have got to hold her off just a little while longer. Don't give up!"
Gallantmon suffered a savage punch to his stomach from the D-Reaper and then goes collapsing to his knees. D-reaper catches him by his cape and then sends out a ki blast right at his face. Gallantmon is then sent flying back into the rubble of the bottom of the crater. His aura quickly fades away and looks like he won't be getting up anytime soon. D-Reaper laughs maniacally over her victory against Gallantmon. But just then, a feeble voice interrupts her little tirade. Amazingly, they looked on as the bio-merged knight comes crawling up out of the deep crater. Holding his arm and his face twisted with pain, Gallantmon starts to speak up.
"That weak attack of yours wasn't efficient enough to defeat me," Gallantmon replied, "It's going to take a lot more than that to put us down, D-Reaper."
Gallantmon quickly powers up with a bright red aura surrounding his body. D-Reaper turns to face him with an astonished look on her face.
"Pineapple head, you better have a really good reason for not staying down the way you should done," Beelzebumon said under his breath.
"Takato! Don't do this! You can't throw your own life away just for the sake of us!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"I don't think he's listening," Beelzebumon replied.
Planet Tunip
The other Tamers and the Digi-Destined were looking on as well, with awe looks on their faces. Rika was kneeling before the crystal ball with her eyes closed as if focusing on the battle taking place.
"Goggle head. Don't give up. You've got her where you want her. This battle should not be lost. Give it your all," Rika said.
"Rika! Just what the heck are you doing? That's not going to help Takato any," Kazu remarked.
"He's right! Gallantmon is not going to get any help from your words alone," Ryo said, "Your going to have to let your actions speak-"
"Zip it you two! I can do what I want and this is the time for us to dream."
"Dream? Has she gone cuckoo-cuckoo?" asked Kenta.
"Maybe she's been smoking thst 'shit' you guys keep telling me about," Guardromon said.
"Rika, whatever are you trying to say? Dreaming? What can he dream about?" asked Henry.
"I know very well what she's saying," Shintomon replied, "The dream to release the power of Grani and allow the mergence of both Grani and Gallantmon to take place. It's the only way to go. Everyone. You must think deep and use your dreams to bring forth the power Grani needs to merge with Gallantmon."
"So, what are we all sitting around for? Lets give Grani the power it needs to merge with Gallantmon! Only our hopes and dreams will we make it come into realization!" Yolei said.
"Well, I'm not about to stop you anytime soon," Mimi said, "Lets get dreaming!"
"This one's for Takato," Sonja replied, "You can do it, kid."
"Ok. I'll take that as a compliment but hey, let's get dreaming!"
Each of the Digi-Destined and the Tamers started to close their eyes as if concentrating through a form of meditation. The higher powers even shut their eyes. A flow of energy was starting to flow from each of their bodies while being transmitted through Grani. The machine starts glow a crimson color with its eyes flashing a blue color.
Every one of the Tamers were each realizing their hopes and dreams. One by one. Henry. Kazu. Kenta. Ryo. Rika. That also included their digimon as well. Terriermon. Leomon. Guardromon. Marine Angemon. Cyberdramon. Renamon. A flow of energy started to come out in the form of spirits and started to spiral around Grani.
Then each of the Digi-Destined managed to tap into their dreams. One by one. Sora. Mimi. Joe. Izzy. Yolei. Ken. Cody. Even their digimon were realizing their dreams through the sudden meditation. Biyomon. Palmon. Gomamon. Tentomon. Hawkmon. Wormmon. Armadillomon. Sonja also managed to release her hopes and dreams.
"What I really wish for is the power for Grani to help Takato and Guilmon in the battle. Give them the strength and the power that they need to defeat the chaos of destruction known as the D-Reaper. May our hopes and dreams come into realization and guide Grani into battle. Allow Grani and Gallantmon to merge. Hear my plead and grant them this power," Rika thought through her meditation.
As soon as that was said and done, Shintomon turns his attention over towards Grani, which was starting to levitate from the ground. He shoots out a beam and teleports it to Planet Shin.
"Digi-Destined. Tamers. It now begins. Behold, the rise of the crimson warrior…"
Shintomon's Sacred Sancturary
Gallantmon was slowly rising to his feet and was about to attack the D-Reaper head on again. Omega X had just realized something.
"Oh no! A minute has already passed by! My energy hasn't been fully restored! Oh no, Takato! Hold on! Just give up!"
"Takato… Look out!" Metalla X exclaimed.
Gallantmon quickly saw the D-Reaper coming as they quickly locked hands. They were now beginning to strain against one another, their feet breaking down into the rocks below. D-Reaper kicks Gallantmon, sending him flying away, then stretches one long arm out and thins it. It then goes wrapping around Gallantmon's neck choking him out. The bio-merged knight goes hanging in the air and was unable to free himself.
"Spinning Galatic Donut!"
Suddenly, an energy disc slices through D-Reaper's arm and ultimately frees Gallantmon from the monster's grasp. Everyone looked on ahead as War Dramon stood before them with his arms crossed.
"Heh. Missed me, guys? Finally, the War Dramon has come back to kick some ass!"
"Oh great, now he's talking in third person again," Mystic Celesta muttered. "This is definitely Davis' trait, because I know TK isn't arrogant."
"Well, I'm just glad he came here in time," Omega X stated. "War Dramon. You'll have to hold off the D-Reaper!"
"Not without me you're not!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
The angelic warrior arrives on the battlefield and stands next to War Dramon.
"Glad you could help, Kari. It's going to take our combined to bring Miss Raggedy Ugly down," War Dramon chuckled.
"If only I was at one hundred percent power, I would have taken this D-Reaper out."
"Hey, as long as you have me on you're side, you won't have to use all of you're power."
"I hope you're right."
"Tai! Matt! Make sure to keep Gallantmon out of this and make sure that he regains his strength," War Dramon said. "No more bullshit. We're taking this seriously."
"All right, then It's payback time, D-Reaper! I do recall us about to take kick your butt," Mystic Celesta said.
"Yep, you aren't going to absorb us like last time," War Dramon. "That was one cheap trick!"
"YES YOU TWO ANNOYANCES! YOU WERE INSIDE OF ME! I HAVE NO USE FOR YOU! YOU DIE HERE! DIE! HA! HA!"
"Let's make this a nasty and brutal fight," War Dramon said, mimicking Mills Lane. "Let's get it on!"
D-Reaper charges forth and stretches out her arms. Mystic Celesta and War Dramon easily dodged her attacks. Mystic Celesta flies up and incinerates D-Reaper's arm off with a ki blast. War Drmaon follows it up by spitting out five ghosts.
"Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!"
D-Reaper screamed as each of the ghosts slammed into the entity. A massive explosion takes place as D-Reaper falls to the floor with a battered and injured body.
"Kari! Go for it! She shouldn't be able to recover too soon!"
"I'm on it!"
Mystic Celesta dives down towards the fallen monster and cups her hands together. D-Reaper rises up and is met with a massive energy beam.
"Holy Beam!"
D-Reaper's body was quickly broken down into particles as the blast incinerates her. War Dramon gives a high-five to Mystic Celesta.
"Way to nail it to the bitch!"
"Hold on. Don't get too excited yet. I can still sense an evil ki in the air."
Just then, Jeri came out of hiding and looks over towards the warriors. She calls and waves out towards them.
"Way to go, guys! You're really giving to her!"
"JERI!" they called out.
This quickly brought Gallantmon to his senses. He looks up and notices Jeri in the background. His eyes widen in disbelief. He had hoped Jeri had gone with the others by now.
"Jeri… What is she doing here? She should be with the others…" Gallantmon muttered.
"I have no idea, but she should get the hell out of here! It's not safe here!" Omega X cries out.
"You have to get out of here! Leomon is going to flip if you sees you here!" Mystic Celesta calls out. "You have to as far away from here as possible!"
"It's okay. I've had Mummymon and Black Gatomon watching over me. Right guys?"
The two digimon were responded with a few groans as their bodies had fallen to the ground.
"It doesn't matter. This is uncharted territory!" War Dramon exclaimed.
"I'm in wh-"
Just as Jeri was about to speak, D-Reaper came blasting through the ground below and hands out her palm in front of Jeri. The girl stood frozen in fear. Gallantmon and everyone else looked on in complete shock. They couldn't even move.
A sadistic grin forms on D-Reaper's face as she prepared to fire a deadly blast to take the girl's life.
"DIE YOU LITTLE BITCH!"
As soon as she was about to finish Jeri off, a massive blast came out of nowhere and pushed the D-Reaper backwards onto the battlefield. Then, a blur appears above the monster and levels her with a right hand. The blur turned out to be none other than Pikkan.
"It's Pikkan!" Jeri calls out. "My god… Thank you!"
"Are you okay, Jeri?"
"Yes, thanks to you."
"I may not have a love for humans, but you have my gratitude. You tended to me when I was wounded. Why did you do it?"
"Because, I really didn't think you were going to make it. I'm just glad you did."
"I thank you. For now, just stay low and protect Calumon. He's essential for digivolution."
"Right! I'm on it!"
Pikkan turns his attention over towards the D-Reaper. The sadistic grin from the D-Reaper had gone away and was replaced by an enraged look.
"DAMN YOU! I HATE YOU FOR THAT! YOU RUINED MY FUN! NOW YOU WILL DIE ALONG WITH THAT LITTLE BITCH!"
"You'd best watch what you say about that little 'bitch'. She tended to my wounds and watched me. She has a true heart of courage, despite being so meek. You pick on the meek and I won't stand for it."
Pikkan levitates to the floor and stood by with Mystic Celesta and War Dramon. D-Reaper faces off against them.
"Heh, so what do you say? How about a rumble to warm us up?" the alterian asked.
"You just read my mind. This one's for scaring Jeri," War Dramon cries out.
"You make me sick. Only cowards pick on the weak!" Mystic Celesta said. "Our light will overcome you're darkenss!"
"Let's waste this bitch," Pikkan said.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT! YOU DIE FOR THAT COMMENT YOU HEAR ME! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!"
"Do us a favor and shut you're damn mouth!" the trio exclaimed in unison.
With that said, they all phased out and caught the D-Reaper by surprise. The entity looks around and watches as fists started hammering away at her. Pikkan delivered fists; War Dramon delivered kicks; and Mystic Celesta was giving a good combination of devastating blows. The trio spread apart into a triangular formation with D-Reaper standing in the middle.
The three warriors prepared to fire away their signature attacks to the D-Reaper.
"SHIT!"
"Oh, this one is going to hurt," Beelzebumon muttered.
"THUNDER FLASH ATTACK!"
"SUPER GHOST KAMIKAZE ATTACK!"
"SEVEN HEAVEN'S BEAM!"
The combined blasts made contact with the D-Reaper and created a massive explosion that covered nearly half of the landscape. Suddenly, D-Reaper was seen flying through the smoke in time. Unfortunately, Mystic Celesta and War Dramon met her with a double clothesline from out of nowhere.
"This one's for Jeri!"
D-Reaper is then met with a spinning back kick from Pikkan that nearly decapitated the D-Reaper. The monster drops to the ground and lies down with numerous bumps and bruises.
Pikkan levitates down to meet up with Mystic Celesta and War Dramon. They had done their duty well and have gotten their retribution.
"Just remember this, D-Reaper. Paybacks are a bitch," Pikkan muttered.
"Wow! That was so sweet! They were able to do her in!" Omega X calls out.
"I never thought our own siblings would end up outdoing us in the end," Metalla X stated.
"You've got to hand it to Kari. She grinded that freak like paste!"
"Shit! She's getting up and it doesn't even look like she's giving out just yet!" Metalla X calls out.
"Damn! What the hell is this thing made of!"
D-Reaper slowly rises to her feet with all of her wounds healed. It seemed that the warrior's retribution never became realized.
"Damn. She recovered so quickly!" Pikkan said.
"So, what now?" War Dramon asked.
"Duh! We keep fighting!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
Pikkan felt a sharp pain from his chest as he doubled over. The alterian tried fighting off the pain as much as he could.
"Pikkan! Are you all right?" Omega X calls out.
"Yes. It's just a minor injury. I've recovered."
Suddenly, a bright red aura came flying through the skylines above. Everyone looked up and left a strong ki emitting from what looked like a glider.
"What is that?" War Dramon asked. "Wait! Could that be Grani!"
"It is Grani!" Mystic Celesta replied.
"Ok, you guys have lost me," Pikkan said.
Omega X and Metalla X both looked on with confused looks on their faces as a bright light coming shooting out of nowhere. Beelzebumon looks up and notices a familiar figure emerging from the shroud of light. His eyes widened.
"Grani?"
"Grani? But why is it coming here" Metalla X cried out.
"Remember, it belongs to Gallantmon. It must have reacted to Takato's pain and anguish," said Omega X, "Takato! I feel a ki from Grani! I think it wants you to use it!"
"Grani! I feel your power!" exclaimed Gallantmon, "Come before me!"
Gallantmon's body started to emit a bright, red aura that managed to blind swipe D-Reaper out of the way. Gallantmon holds out a hand above his head and realizes the power that Grani was giving to him.
"Grani. I feel the hopes and dreams of my friends. This will be enough for us to merge. D-Reaper, your wave of destruction is about to come to an end. We intend on ending it by our hand only!"
"What are they planning to do?" Metalla X asked.
"They're going to merge! Finally something that will slow down the D-Reaper and allow me time to recover," Omega X under his breath.
"Go for it, pineapple head. Wait a second! I can't believe I'm saying that. Ugh, what the hell! This is the fate of the digital universe we're talking about here! Lets see this mergence of you and Grani. D-Reaper is about to get a handful of Gallantmon coming her way…"
"Well, you don't see this everyday," War Dramon said.
"You can do it, Takato!" Mystic Celesta calls out. "You and Grani have to merge! Hurry!
Suddenly, Grani started to spoke in a rather anonymous, deep voice, which caught even Gallantmon by surprise.
"Do you want to fly, Gallantmon?"
"Grani, is that you?"
"Yes. Do you want to fly, Gallantmon?"
"Anything to beat the D-Reaper. I will do anything to harness that power. Our dream is fly and standing triumphant over our enemies."
"Then I shall grant you that wish and your dreams a reality."
"Your willing to do that for me?"
"Yes, Gallantmon. You are my friend and this is my gift to you. Use it, my body is starting to break down…"
"You are a digimon after all," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "GRANI!"
With that said, Grani was slowly starting to breakdown into data streams but Gallantmon cries out. He was now beginning to summon the power from within Grani.
"Apart of you will always be will with us, Grani!"
(Digimon Tamers second evolution theme "One Vision" plays)
Then a sudden flash of light started to flare, which blinded the D-Reaper. Omega X and Metalla X both looked on with awe as Gallantmon and Grani were starting to merge. Grani exploded into a stream of data, but the bio-merged knight was able to absorb it as his body was starting to transform. Red armor plates started to form across his body. First his legs, then his arms, then his chest and finally his face helmet. The cape flowing on his back was gone and replaced by a pair of ten wings on his back. His armor plates were yellow around the sides with red in the center and a blue emerald in the center. His entire body happened to have those colors. His face helmet retained some facial features from Gallantmon, but there were a pair of red wings at each side of his face. In his hand was a saber sword that glittered with bright energy.
"We are one! Grani and us! Call us, Gallantmon Crimson Mode!" Takato cried out within Gallantmon.
"Crimson Mode!" Beelzebumon exclaimed in astonishment.
"Crimson Mode! Man those two really have it in them!" Metalla X remarked.
"Wow, their ki is so strong!" War Dramon said.
"Takato… You're power… It's as if you've already grown up before my very eyes," Mystic Celesta said to her pupil. "I'm proud of you."
"Their energy level has increased after Grani merged with them. Crimson Mode should be enough to handle the D-Reaper for a little while longer while I regain my power," Omega X said, "Keep her busy, Takato. Show us this power of Crimson Mode!"
D-Reaper started to back away in shock, but then she cried out and went flying right over at Gallantmon.
"YOU! YOU HAVE A NEW LOOK… and you look so shiny. I HATE SHINY PEOPLE! YOU DIE! DIE! DO YOU HEAR ME, GALLANTMON!"
Gallantmon goes flying towards the D-Reaper with a rather possessed and determined look on his face.
"Bring it on!"
("One Vision" ends)
Sugoi! Talk about a mode change! Gallantmon and Grani have now merged to become Crimson Mode! But will it be enough to hold back D-Reaper a little while longer and allow Omega X the time that he needs to recover? Will Mystic Celesta, War Dramon and Pikkan survive in the battle any longer?

Omega X: Oh and you want me to use it?
Metalla X: No, you'll form it, but I want Takato to use it.

Metalla X's Secret Strategy to Defeat the D-Reaper! The Last Hope: The Cosmic Force of Life!
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
(Digimon Tamers Ultimate evolution "One Vision" plays)
"Gallantmon Mode Change!"
A sudden flash of light started to flare, which blinded the D-Reaper. Omega X and Metalla X both looked on with awe as Gallantmon and Grani were starting to merge. Grani exploded into a stream of data, but the bio-merged knight was able to absorb it as his body was starting to transform. Red armor plates started to form across his body. First his legs, then his arms, then his chest and finally his face helmet. The cape flowing on his back was gone and replaced by a pair of ten wings on his back. His armor plates were yellow around the sides with red in the center and a blue emerald in the center. His entire body happened to have those colors. His face helmet retained some facial features from Gallantmon, but there were a pair of red wings at each side of his face. In his hand was a saber sword that glittered with bright energy.
"We are one! Grani and us! Call us, Gallantmon Crimson Mode!" Takato cried out within Gallantmon.
"Crimson Mode!" Beelzebumon exclaimed in astonishment.
"Talk about a grand entrance," War Dramon stated.
"Crimson Mode! Man those two really have it in them!" Metalla X remarked.
"Go for it, Takato!" Mystic Celesta calls out with enthusiasm.
"Their ki has increased after Grani merged with them. Crimson Mode should be enough to handle the D-Reaper for a little while longer while I regain my power," Omega X said, "Keep her busy, Takato. Show us this power of Crimson Mode!"
D-Reaper started to back away in shock, but then she cried out and went flying right over at Gallantmon.
"YOU! YOU SHINING MAN! I'LL KILL YOU DEAD! I HATE SHINY THINGS! I HATE SHINY PEOPLE!"
Gallantmon went flying toward the D-Reaper with a possessed and determined look on his shielded face.
"Bring it on!"
The two power houses collide with one another as they clashed with sparks of energy shooting out from their impact collision. Gallantmon used his twin swords to keep the D-Reaper from pushing him back, but the D-Reaper had a share amount of strength to hold off her own against Gallantmon Crimson Mode. But it wasn't enough to fully gain an advantage against the monstrous D-Reaper form.
D-Reaper goes delivering a kick at Gallantmon, causing the crimson fighter to skid right back across the ground.
"Augh! That was a close one!" Gallantmon exclaimed, under Takato's voice. "Takato. We have to be careful. The D-Reaper has gotten ten times stronger for some apparent reason. Her powers are unlimited."
"You maybe right about that one, Guilmon. But we're not going to give up! People are counting on us to hold off the D-Reaper as long as we can! That even includes my family, the people of earth, the digimon, the others Tamers, and the Destined. They're depending on us now! We have to allow Omega X more time to fully recover, and then we'll be the one to finish off the D-Reaper. Lets just hold her off a little while longer! We can't give up! We won't give up!"
"C'mon Takato!" Mystic Celesta calls out. "I know you can hold her off!"
"You think he'll hold him off? That D-Reaper seems like no slouch! I can feel how strong her ki is," Beelzebumon stated.
"No, he'll fend off the D-Reaper as much as he can. Don't forget our blasts did nothing. She managed to regenerate at an extraordinary rate," Pikkan said. "Ugh… Damn… I knew I should have rested a little longer…"
"Hey, dude. Is you're wound going to be okay?" War Dramon asked.
"Yes… It's just a minor cut. Don't worry about me…"
"Then you should leave us to handle it," Mystic Celesta said. "That is if Takato can distract the D-Reaper any longer for my brother to regain his Super Fusion level three form any longer. C'mon, Tai. Takato is doing this as a favor. He wants to show you how much he respects you."
The four warriors look on from the safe distance to watch the battle unfold between the psychotic monster known as D-Reaper and the Crimson Knight Gallantmon.
Gallantmon powered up with a bright red aura forming all over his body as he goes flying back right over at the D-Reaper. She goes and stretches her arm out in order to grab him, but Gallantmon CM maneuvers to the side with tremendous speed. This caught D-Reaper by surprise as she watched Gallantmon continuing to make his move on her.
"Whew! That was a close one, Guilmon! All right! Lets take her with these bad boys!"
In response to that, Gallantmon lashed out his swords at the D-Reaper, who was jumping around at each side and was evading from being sliced by the holy-powered swords.
"She's pretty fast, but we'll be able to catch up to her!"
Gallantmon cries out and goes nailing D-Reaper right in the gut with a devastating shoulder block, which knocked the wind of the D-Reaper and sent her flying back through a nearby rock face. Gallantmon goes flying over the fallen rocks and starts firing down a barrage of powerful ki-blasts down at the fallen D-Reaper, while lying amongst a thick cloud of smoke. D-Reaper goes flying up but then is caught by surprise as a ki-blast came hurtling out of nowhere and blasted away D-Reaper's lower torso. She screamed out with agony and went flying back across the heavens.
Gallantmon flies out right after her and phases out. D-Reaper is then struck by a kick from behind. Gallantmon put his leg down and goes flying forwards with tremendous speed. He pulls out his swords and started slicing away at the D-Reaper. Gallantmon then turns and sees the D-Reaper with multiple cuts all over her body. Much to his dismay, D-Reaper was able to regenerate parts of her body and all of the cuts inflicted on her were now gone.
"Great! We should have seen that one coming," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Anymore bright ideas, Takato?"
"Just one. Lets not try that again."
"Oh, damn!" War Dramon commented. "Gallantmon blew that crazy bitch up, but she regenerated! What's it going to take to disintegrate her!"
"I don't think it's possible to truly destroy her with our current powers. We'll wait until Gallantmon is in trouble. We have to provide more time to let my brother recover!" Mystic Celesta stated.
"If only I was at full strength, then I would have helped that boy Takato…"
"No offense, but you'll need to be on the sidelines. Besides, you're in no condition to even lay a fucking dent on this thing's skin," Beelzebumon muttered.
"I guess I'm useless then. NOT! You think I'm going to fall over and croak! I'm fighting to the very end. Besides, I'm doing this for Jeri. She's the only human who has ever shown caring feelings to a cold bastard like myself. I'm repaying the favor for her!"
"Well, just don't go dying on me."
"Likewise, I don't plan to.
("One Vision" ends)
D-Reaper popped her neck and faced Gallantmon with an evil grin on her face. Her eyes started to emit a dark, misty purple flare, which indicated her personification of evil. Gallantmon quickly gets into a fighting stance and prepares to face off against the D-Reaper once again.
Metalla X walks over towards Omega X with a rather questionable look on his face.
"Tai! What's the deal, how can you not heal quickly? I thought you're fusion form would enable you to heal from such devastating blows. It doesn't make sense."
"I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm much too weakened to move. Let alone move a single muscle. The D-Reaper must have done something to prevent me from increasing my ki. How's Gallantmon faring?"
"Well, he's look fine at the moment, but only for now. We really don't have any idea to what extant of her maximum power that the D-Reaper can reach."
"You're right. I just hope that Takato and Guilmon are realizing what they came here to do. Their attacks aren't even making a difference against the D-Reaper. But it isn't over. Let's not count out Crimson Mode just yet. I'm willing to believe that he has a few more tricks up his sleeve."
Just then, Omega X quickly faded out of his third level form and was now back to his normal states. The golden aura was now gone and Omega X was slowly powering down for some unknown reason.
"Shit! I just lost my form! I can't even ascend to any more levels. What now!"
Planet Tunip
The Tamers and the Digi-Destined were all speechless, but it was Sora who was about to have a fit over what just happened.
"Shintomon! What just happened! Why isn't Tai in his third level form? Why is Omega X suddenly losing his energy?"
"Calm down, Sora. For one thing, this is rather odd. There should be no reason for him to lose power while resting his body. He should be regaining it. But somehow, his fight with D-Reaper is causing side effects on his own body."
"So, his body was merely affected by the D-Reaper's presence?" asked Ken.
"That's my assumption, yes. When my fellow guardians were facing the D-Reaper long ago, they each felt their energy being drained away during their battle against the D-Reaper individually."
"Then it's definitely true! The D-Reaper feeds off of the energy of whoever faces her, but she wasn't able to pull off such a technique in his previous forms," Izzy said.
"Which in turn increases its power," Yamaki stated.
"Thus, it gains the techniques from the other digimon," Shibumi concluded. "The D-Reaper didn't just copy the techniques, she's absorbed her adversary's power to keep her strength growing."
"She's basically a walking battery," Mr. Wong replied. "If she continues feeding the energy from these warriors, then there's no chance that they'll do well against a creature whose strength continues increasing."
"Exactly right. The D-Reaper is at her adolescent form. She thrives off of the energy of her victims. She does this to maintain her strength and in turn makes her unbeatable. However, she was able to contain the power of the warriors she absorbed in her previous forms. That is why she was able to gain energy from Omega X in their previous battle. Now Omega X has suffered the consequences. It will take a very long time for him to regain his full power. I doubt he'll even become a level three anytime soon."
The group was shocked at Buddamon's revelation as they turned back towards the crystal ball with anticipation of Gallantmon fighting the D-Reaper at the very moment. Rika watches on and places her hands on the crystal.
"It's true. As much as I hate to admit, Tai has no chance, but Takato might," X stated. "He just might! Hang in there, kid!"
"Takato! I hope you and Guilmon realize that. Don't make any mistakes! This is no time to afford making anymore mistakes. Its time to finish this, goggle head."
Sora clenched her fists and started to pray for her fiancée to regain as much power as possible, before he and the other three fighters become nothing more than another set of victims killed off by the D-Reaper.
Shintomon's Sacred Sancutary
(Digimon Tamers first ending theme "My Tomorrow" plays)
The D-Reaper goes swiping at Gallantmon with her hands and then jumps up. Gallantmon falls back as D-Reaper came down with a devastating stomp to his chest. The crimson fighter was able to see it coming and quickly phased out. Gallantmon phases out behind D-Reaper and goes for a hard punch to the back of her head. D-Reaper quickly saw it coming and ducked under. She then falls down and went for a leg sweep. Gallantmon definitely saw it coming and did a backwards handspring.
D-Reaper flies down and began firing away a barrage of bi-blasts. Gallantmon was able to see them coming and used his swords the slash his way through the barrage, which caught the D-Reaper by complete surprise at what just happened. Gallantmon goes spinning back and delivers a kick to her gut. As a result, D-Reaper was sent skidding across the landscape leaving a trail of destruction along with it.
Gallantmon lands back down and looks right over at the fallen D-Reaper. He slowly starts approaching the fallen monster and watches as she immediately jumped back onto her feet. She went and delivered a punch right in his face, but Gallantmon retaliated with a punch of his own.
"Yeah! What a way to nail it to her, dude!" War Dramon calls out. "You've got this one! Just don't take you're eye off the game!"
"C'mon, Takato. I believe in you," Mystic Celesta said.
Omega X falls down onto the ground as he began panting. Metalla X remains at his side and lifts his comrade onto his shoulder.
"Are you going to be okay, Tai?"
"I'm not sure. I feel so weak… I don't understand this."
"Neither do I. You shouldn't even be showing any signs of weakness after that battle. Sure that third level form did take a lot out of you, but you seem too abnormally weak. There's something wrong and I'm willing to bet that the D-Reaper is responsible for it."
"Huh?"
"Yeah. I think she was absorbing your energy when you were battling her. She only allowed you to ascend into your third level form, in order to sap away your powers. It was a clever trick, and worked with perfection. We didn't see it coming."
"No… Gallantmon has to get out of there as soon as possible or he'll get drained of his energy too! Matt, you've got to stop him!"
Metalla X paid no attention to the fallen fusion warrior and kept his eyes on the battling taking place just a distance away. He growled under his breath and lifted Omega X up onto his shoulder.
Listening to their conversation, Pikkan turned towards the battlefield with a look of concern. Was it possible for the D-Reaper to absorb all of their attacks they had just performed on the demon moments ago. Were War Dramon and Mystic Celesta's attack techniques absorbed by the D-Reaper?
"Shit. Takato is screwed if he keeps fighting. He's gotta pull out of there now!"
"What's wrong, Pikkan?" Mystic Celesta asked. "IS there something wrong? Stop keeping things to yourself and just tell us already!"
"Takato is not going to last much longer…"
"What did you say!" War Dramon frantically asked. "What makes you say that?"
Mystic Celesta looks back to Gallantmon and quickly picks up his ki. She was speechless by how fast the biomerged knight's ki was dropping.
"Gallantmon's ki is dropping!" Mystic Celesta said. "If he keep fighting, then it's all over. How could have we been so blind not to realize this?"
"Listen, we weren't expecting D-Reaper to be absorbing our ki in the first place. We still must place our faith in Takato! If we don't, then our fates are sealed," Pikkan assured them. "He and Guilmon will pull through this! I promise you! He'll find a way to slow that bitch down. Then Tai will go in and help Takato wipe the floor with her!"
This overwhelming speech was enough to restore confidence to the side of good. However, Mystic Celesta still wasn't too sure about Gallantmon's condition.
"I wish I can agree with you, Pikkan. But my instincts are very keen. Gallantmon will eventually give out. I just hope my ki is restored long enough to aid him! Please restore my power. I need to help Takato. He's my pupil!"
"Just hang in there, Tai. We'll find a way to restore your power…"
"I just hope that would be true…"
Now there were sections of the planet starting to shatter away due to the tremendous force between the D-Reaper and Gallantmon. They've inflicted great damage not only amongst themselves, but their surroundings. D-Reaper and Gallantmon hammered away at one another, with each evading each other's punches and kicks. Gallantmon goes and delivers a knee to her gut, but D-Reaper manages to below right at the side of Gallantmon's head.
(End theme)
Omega X wasn't looking too well and once again breathes heavily and falls down with an exhausted look on his face. Metalla X growls angrily and places him on his shoulder.
"Damn it! You have to keep your composure together, Tai! You can't go on like this!"
"I'm… trying… my body is just so worn out.."
"Shit! That's just great!"
"I'm sorry, Matt. I never knew the D-Reaper was able to absorb my energy during that battle. I also had no idea that my third level form would also sap away my strength. I really paid for it. Now, I'm about to meet my maker…"
"No you're not, Tai! You're still in the game! Remember, we have to pull through this damn thing together! Gallantmon isn't going to handle this all by himself. He needs out help. Not to mention, we still have Beelzebumon. He's our freshest guy and he'll surely get some payback on that psychotic monster. We also have War Dramon, Pikkan and you're sister. We're on this together. We won't let you fail. Don't give in yet, Taichi Kamiya!"
Omega X lets out a gasp as he looked towards the battle. He felt the overwhelming ki from Gallantmon rising once again.
The two fighters charged at each other once again as Gallantmon once again started pounding away at D-Reaper with a barrage of kicks and punches to go along with it. D-Reaper took each hit as if they were nothing, but Gallantmon tried everything to give D-Reaper to really hurt about. D-Reaper comes back and elbows Gallantmon, sending him skidding back over the rock ground.
Gallantmon slowly rose to his feet and pushes the pile of rock that buried him, but just as he sat up, a hand reached out and snatched him by the throat. He looked up to see none other then the D-Reaper with an evil grin across her face.
"You don't deserve to existence. You pitiful humans find ways to merge with your digimon to make yourselves stronger. But even with that great amount of combined power, you are still unable to defeat me. For I am the D-Reaper, the most destructive force to ever walk the digital universe! Your kind does not deserve to exist... SO IN OTHER WORDS, YOU SHALL DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!"
Mummymon and Black Gatomon both looked on with shocked looks on their faces like never before. Black Gatomon looked over at the D-Reaper and started looking back to when he and the first D-Reaper were playing peacefully. That's would be the D-Reaper he used to remember.
"Mummymon. We better not show any remorse for her anymore."
"But what do you mean! That's Dee out there for goddramon's sakes!"
The black cat digimon quickly turned to face the ultimate baring his fangs and hissed.
"Mummymon, wake up! That's not Dee anymore! That's not the Dee we used to remember and play with. She's gone and her evil incarnate managed to swallow her up. We both saw it!"
Mummymon nodded with tear-filled eyes and started looking back over at the D-Reaper, who was busy choking away at Gallantmon. He then growled and clenched his fists.
"You've convinced me long enough, Black Gatomon. Forget her! She's not the Dee we used to know! I should have put my feelings aside for her a long time ago! I'm here to make Arukenimon proud! I still haven't forgotten my mission!"
"Well, I'm glad to know that you're finally back into reality, Mummymon."
"No, I managed to wake myself up. I've been dreaming fat too long! Its time to face the reality and the truth that our worlds are at danger of being wiped out! We must help these fellow warriors at any opportunity given! So, what do you say?"
"Sounds like a plan to me," replied Black Gatomon.
Jeri held tightly onto Calumon with dear life. She looks out towards the battlefield and watched the climatic battle unfold.
"C'mon, Takato! You can do it! I believe in you! We all believe in you!"
"Hit her again! Harder! Harder!" Calumon cheered with his fists clenched. "Harder!"
(Kid Buu's English Theme plays)
D-Reaper had now taken advantage and shoots out a black mist over at Gallantmon, which started to hold him off for a few moments. As soon as the crimson fighter was immobilized, D-Reaper phased out and reappeared in front of Gallantmon as she began blasting him away with small beams.
"Shit! Look at that!" Pikkan calls out. "Don't start doubting his chances!"
"Are you blind! The D-Reaper is going to fucking kill him any minute now!" War Dramon calls out.
"So, you're just going to let Takato die out there. We'll I won't let that happen! As you should know, I'm his former teacher and he's also a dear friend to me!" Mystic Celesta cries with emotion. "How could you even sound so cold? He's doing this for you're sake too, Pikkan! He's also doing this for you and Jeri! Don't you forget that!"
Suddenly, Pikkan's eyes widen and he looks back to when he saved Jeri's life from Demon's relentless attacks.
"Jeri…"
"Yes, I know you hate to admit it, but she has feelings for you, Pikkan! She's grown more than just respect you! Why don't you just open up to her, damn it!"
"Hikari…"
Beelzebumon and War Dramon were rather touched by the young lady's speech. It wasn't long ago that Kari was a girl so full of doubt and fear. Not only has Tai helped her become stronger-willed, but also she's managed to overcome all fear to become the powerful warrior she is today. Seeing her give advice with such emotion was rather heart felt.
The alterian turns back towards the battlefield and back to the trio. He overcame all grief and internal pain to stand up. Mystic Celesta nods in reply.
"I knew you'd see it my way."
"No, thank you. Now I know what to fight for."
"Believe me. I taught Takato everything to know about using the power of love and the sake of others to keep him strong in battle. Tai first taught me that seven years ago and now Takato has picked up from me. This war is far from war."
Metalla X, who was now holding his injured left arm, started walking towards the battlefield and watches frantically as D-Reaper was pummeling the crimson fighter. He then goes shouting out towards the high powers, which were able to hear his cries.
"Shintomon! Higher powers! I'm asking a request from you! This is very important, so you better listen!"
Planet Tunip
"Can you hear me! I'm asking a request from you!"
The entire group looked on at the crystal ball and saw Metalla X standing in the middle of the view. They watched the warrior shouting out for his request. Shintomon was the first to respond to the fusion warrior's plea.
"Yes! I can hear you loud and clear, Yamato. What is it?"
"I want you to go back to the our Digital World. There you can find the four Holy Beasts, exact equivalents of the other Digital World's Sovereigns. In fact, they are Sovereigns. Here's the deal. I want you to go and gather the digicores together."
"But whatever for?" asked Buddamon.
"Shit! Look, there's no time to explain, we need to hurry right away. You got that?"
"Matt! That's brilliant! We can definitely use the digicores power," Mimi replied, "So how are you doing?"
"Looking roughed up. You wouldn't want to see me when my arm is almost out of its socket. That D-Reaper packs one hell of a punch."
"That's such a good idea, Matt. I really wished we could of thought of that sooner."
"We should have done this from the start, but you guys need to hurry. One of you must go with Shintomon and teleport to the digital world and find the four guardians! Time is of essence here."
"Hmmm. I really don't support this idea, but… it's worth a try! Ok then! Shintomon and Mimi. You two come with me."
"Huh but why me?" Mimi asked.
"Because your Yamato's fiancée. We better hurry. Besides, Tai told me a whole lot about you," Gosenzomon said as he whistled to her.
"Tai! Ugh, don't tell me that he told you about my bikini photos! I'm so going to kill him!"
"Well, let's say he would offer me a magazine of you with nothing on! A full nude!"
"WHAT! THAT BASTARD! He's so dead! When he gets back here, I'm going to so kick his ass! The D-Reaper is going to be like a little puppy barking compared to what I'm going to do to him!"
"C'mon. Vent your frustrations later. We have to go, Mimi."
Mimi crossed her arms angrily and stood her ground. Shintomon and Gosenzomon stood at both of her sides and they quickly teleported out.
"Whoa! That was like some kind of experience wasn't it," Ryo said to break the sudden silence. "Ok, why's everyone so quiet?"
"Ryo! Knock it off. We're trying to watch the fight," Rika exclaimed. "Besides, there's a D-Reaper still out there trying to kill Gallantmon."
"You're right and he's not faring well at the moment," replied Leomon, "But he has to hold off for a little while longer… Jeri better be ok. As long as Pikkan is there, I shouldn't have to worry."
"But where's Impmon? Why hasn't he fought yet?" Ai asked, "We're starting to get worried about him."
"Don't worry. I'm sure Beelzebumon will turn up in the fight sooner or later," replied Yolei, "You can count on that."
The two siblings nodded their heads in agreement and were gaining confidence for their digimon, Beelzebumon. They knew that he would have to get himself involved in the battle sooner or later. It was only a matter of time.
Original Digital World
Since the teleportation from Shintomon is beyond the speed of light, the trio arrived on the holy grounds of the four Holy Beasts that protect the digital world. Mimi looked in awe at the palace and could remember this place quite well, since she and the other Digi-Destined visited on numerous occasions in the past.
"But I don't get it. I thought Azulongmon sealed all of the gates."
"Aw, but us supreme guardians are able to penetrate through any Sovereign's security defenses. That is why it was possible for myself to enter. You see?"
"Hmmm. You do have a point. Hey! The guardians are over at the other room."
"How do you know that?" asked Gosenzomon.
"Well, duh. I've been here many times with my friends. C'mon. This way."
As soon as the blonde-haired young woman started running out towards the hallways leading down into the holy chamber grounds of the four digimon guardians, the two higher powers looked over at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They were now following along Mimi and were gazing in awe at the scenery of the holy grounds.
"This is simply beautiful," said Gosenzomon. "I like the decorating. It reminds me of old realm. Oh those were the days…"
"Yes. It's too bad that you were unable to meet the Sovereigns after those thousands of years being sealed away in that sword. I guess that prevented you from gazing upon the many historic events that have unfolded throughout the digital universe."
"Yes and it sucks I missed out on so much historic events. I was so glad to get out of that freaking sword. Too bad that a mere digimon pulled my sword out."
"What's done is done. There's nothing to change it."
"Yes, you're right. But I managed to turn Celesta X into quite a powerful warrior after all. She should be quite useful in many future battles, but must keep up with training in order to maintain her maximum power under control."
"Gosenzomon. I am so glad to have met you. I never really thought I would end up having a ancestor from fifteen generations ago."
"Well, just don't call me ancestor. It makes me feel so old."
"I'M BACK! Sorry that took so long!"
They both turned to see Mimi coming right back with the four digicores. Both Gosenzomon and Shintomon looked on with widened eyes and gaping mouths at the four magnificent digicores all bundled up in Mimi's arms.
"Wow! I could really use these for my collection that I've been building up for so long," Gosenzomon said, "Mimi, set them down."
"Sure."
As soon as she was slowly placing the four digicores on the ground, Gosenzomon kneels down and looks over at the large breasts on Mimi's chest. A twisted smile forms across his face. He started pressing his hands together and gave a 'Pufu Pufu' gesture. Mimi slowly took notice of this, which caused Gosenzomon to turn away and whistle with innocence.
"So, are you guys ready to summon the power of the digicores?"
"You bet! That's what we've been waiting for! Ok, Yamato! We have the digicores! What do you want us to do with them!"
Shintomon stood for a minute and got no response, and he was about to speak up once again to get the fusion warrior's response. But then, he was sidetracked as Mimi stopped him.
"I'll take it from here. He'll listen to me," Mimi said.
"Just place your hand on my shoulder and you will be able to communicate with him telepathically. But remember this is long distance. That means ten cents a minute."
"Ok. Ok. Quit bragging."
"And quit trying to hit on my woman!"
The two higher powers jumped back with widened eyes and started waving their arms out frantically. Mimi giggled and then puts her hand on Shintomon's shoulder.
"Matt, can you hear me?"
"Loud and clear. Ok, here are the requests that Tai and myself have been wanting. We only have two requests, so I'm going to make this quick. Number one, we want Earth and every other planet D-Reaper has destroyed to be restored."
"Ok, go on."
"Second, we want to revive every digimon and human that had been killed off during D-Reaper's wave of terror. But exclude everyone of the evildoers that were involved in helping to resurrect the D-Reaper, that includes that fucking imp Magimon, King Devimon and Demon. Hey wait a second, aren't the digicores only suppsoed to bring only a few lives at a time?"
"Nope. Not anymore. Azulongmon told me that the power of the digicores were updated and can now grant more than a few lives back. After all, no disturbances have altered the life cycles of the digital world. So it allowed the guardians to transfer more power into the digicores themselves. So, we're all set to go."
"Thank god. We can surely thank Azulongmon and the other three guardians about this."
"But unfortunately, it won't be able to bring the lives that were killed by your hands when Magimon took control of you. You only mentioned the ones that D-Reaper has killed."
"That's fine, Mimi. Remember, once the other Sovereigns are restored to full power, I'm sure they will be able to revive those lost souls. It's no big deal. I'm sure they can do that."
"All right then. Is that all?"
"No how about some new shoes and a new guitar for my set?"
"What! New shoes and a new guitar!"
"Nah, I was just jerking you're chain. Yeah. That's it. Thanks Mimi. I'm sorry for acting the way I did. I shouldn't have let my ego get the best of me when I fought Tai. We should have stopped the D-Reaper at that first moment."
"It's ok, Matt. I forgive you. You admitted you were wrong and we can all move on. I can live with it. Besides, you're still a hunk even with an ego."
"Um, heh… hanks.
"Don't mention it. Besides, whoever thought I would eventually would have convinced the Holy Beasts to lend me their digicores just for this one opportunity."
"How did you convince them? You must have thought of something brilliant."
"Oh. You could say I used my charm to get the better of the situation…"
"Ohhh. I see. You've got a devious mind, Mimi."
"Heh. Thanks. I got that from you."
"Looks like I taught you well."
"Mimi? Can we get started right away?" Gosenzomon asked, "Time is wasting."
"Oh! I'm so sorry! Matt, we have to get this done right away."
"Right! Good luck, Mimi. Hope to see you after this war has been won."
"It shall be won. I promise you. Bye, Matt."
With that said, Matt disconnected his transmission and Mimi turns her attention over towards the four digicores lying on the ground.
"All right! Lets get this started right away!"
Mimi stood over the four glowing spheres and summoned them using the power of the crest of sincerity glowing from within her heart. A neon green light started to encircle the digicores as they levitated from the ground. The two supreme guardians looked at their magnificence.
"What a power. So these are the digicores?" asked Gosenzomon.
"Yes. You can think of them as devices of granting wishes. In fact, they do grant wishes. One single power from a digicore has enough to restore a planet within the digital universe. You can rest assure these digicores will prove their medal."
"Lets just hope you're right."
Mimi stood among the glowing digicores and closed her eyes as if she were concentrating on their power. She then started to speak with a neon green aura glowing all around her.
"Wow. I feel so warm. So majestic. Azulongmon wasn't lying about the digicore's improvement. This will be more than enough to restore the destruction caused by the D-Reaper. This one's for you, Matt."
"Wait a minute. I thought only the children of Hope and Light were the only ones to summon the power of the digicores," Shintomon said.
"No. Azulongmon and the other guardians made it possible for anyone of us to summon their power. I mean anybody who is considered an original Digi-Destined. Only the eight of us are able to summon it's power. I'm the one who inherited the crest of sincerity, so it made it possible for even me to summon the power. Remember, these digicores are much more advanced and improved.
"I see. That makes sense," Shintomon replied, "The original eight were the one's chosen by the four Holy Beasts in the first place."
Shintomon looks on and smiled as Mimi turned to face them with a majestic glow surrounding her body. Gosenzomon has an awed look on his face. Mimi then started to speak as she prepared to summon the requests that Matt had given for her.
"Digicores. Hear my call. I summon you're power. With my heart filled with the essence of sincerity, you shall grant my requests for the recent destruction caused by the D-Reaper. I implore you to hear my call…"
With that said, the digicores were now a pure green color and they stopped to face Mimi. The young man reaches out and places two hands among two of the floating orbs.
"First. Restore our home planet Earth and every other planet destroyed by the D-Reaper's wave of destruction."
As soon as she said that, the digicores responded by glowing and sending out rays of green light. She turns and watches as the beams faded away and transported themselves into the middle of the digital universe. Slowly but surely, the Earth and every other extinct planet were eventually restored.
"Ha! I can feel its presence! It worked!" exclaimed Shintomon, "I can't believe it worked!"
"But we're not done yet," Gosenzomon replied, "Please do continue on, Mimi."
She nodded in response and turns her attention back over towards the floating digicores and fully concentrated on their immense powers. She was ready to make the second request that Matt had given to her.
"Secondly but last. This is very important. Restore every single life, digimon and human, after Dark Magimon's arrival to be brought back to life. I know it's asking a lot but please restore their lives. They didn't deserve to have their souls taken away. But exclude those evil souls that helped revive the D-Reaper. However, do bring my fiancée, Matt to life. He was only brainwashed and used for their bidding. Give him a chance… For me… I love him so much…"
With a single tear coming down her face, she suddenly opened her eyes and watched as the orbs started to glow an immense bright green light. The light started to spread over into over in the other Digital World, and slowly each digimon life was restored. Everyone of them killed off by D-Reaper were being brought back to life.
The same could be said for the people on Earth. People were slowly revived from the powerful energy brought forth by the four majestic digicores. They had become so advanced that they were also able to restore the lives of earthlings killed off by a digimon threat or even by a deletion program gone wrong.
However, Mimi would still have to wait a while since this wish was too great to even complete. Restoring a whole population of digimon on an entire planet would take a long time.
"Let's just hope that it can finish in time. I don't know how long Matt and the others are going to hold off the D-Reaper. Just hang in there, don't give up!"
Shintomon's Sacred Sancutary
Kid Buus' English theme continues through the battle
Meanwhile, Gallantmon CM was getting the squeeze put on him as D-Reaper applied a devastating bear hug. Gallantmon was crying out in pain as his insides were starting to crack.
"Guilmon! We have to hang in there for a little while longer! We can't lose! This has got to stop!"
D-Reaper ignored their cries and continued to put the squeeze as she began to laugh maniacally. Metalla X and Omega X could only look on with angry looks across their faces. Omega X hoped for Gallantmon to regain the momentum but that wasn't about to come anytime soon.
Gallantmon tries to break free but D-Reaper knees him in the back with a devastating force. She then started to power up as if attempting to pull off a kamikaze.
"Say goodbye, Gallantmon! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! HA! HA! YES, YOU DIE! DIE!"
But just as she was about to pull off the technique, a powerful blast of energy goes shooting at the D-Reaper and sends her flying back through a nearby rock face. Gallantmon fell to his knees and turned to find none other than Beelzebumon.
Kid Buu's theme ends
"Beelzebumon!"
"Beelzebumon's theme "Black Intruder" plays
The demon replied with a smirk on his face and quickly turns his attention back over to the D-Reaper. A smug look came across his face as he stood side by side with Gallantmon. The D-Reaper was slowly making it up onto her feet.
"Well, this ought to get pretty interesting," War Dramon replied.
"Is he crazy?" Pikkan questioned the demon's motives.
"He's doing anything he can to hold off the D-Reaper. I have a plan. Once our power is restored within the next few minutes, we'll attack the D-Reaper with everything we have! That should allow my brother to regain his strength!"
"Easier said than done," War Dramon replied. "My fused form lasts only thirty minutes. So I ahve only fifteen minutes left."
"We'll do everything we can," replied Mystic Celesta. "In the meantime, we'll leave this to Beelzebumon and Takato."
"Well, I never thought I'd see this day, Beelzebumon. You and I teaming up once again," Gallantmon stated.
"Don't push it. I'm only doing this to protect Ai and Makoto. Besides we both have a common enemy and that being the D-Reaper. I'm ready to take back my revenge," Beelzebumon cried out as his positron gun came into realization once again. "Thanks for the spare gun, Makoto!"
Gallantmon sits up and an aura flares up around him. The two mega fighters faced off against the D-Reaper as waves of energy was starting to push towards D-Reaper, who didn't seem to be affected at all. A smile formed on her face.
"YOU? I ALREADY AM BEGINNING TO HATE YOU! YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED!"
"Why don't you do me a favor and shut the hell up?" Beelzebumon replied.
"Black Intruder" ends
Metalla X looked on and then called out to Shintomon to ask him a question concerning the requests.
"So, has the second request been given yet!"
"Yes, but it will take time to revive each of those lost lives. Besides, Rome wasn't built in a day."
"I just hope that every life has been restored. And let's make sure all evildoers are excluded!"
"Yes! It has been granted! Every life has been restored! It's a success!"
"Good. I really would like to thank you, Shintomon. And you, Gosenzomon. And especially you, Mimi."
"Ahhh. Why thank you. So, what are you going to give me in return, lover boy?"
"A nice vacation for the two of us. How about the Bahamas?"
"Great! But lets go shopping first before we go, ok?"
"Whatever you say. I'll see you after this battle has been-WON! Hey my halo is gone! I thought I would have remained dead since I was also responsible for reviving D-Reaper."
"We altered the request a bit. We said every evildoer, except for you. You owe me big time, mister! Heh. Heh."
"Oh you're such a lifesaver, Mimi! We'll go shopping just for you!"
"Sounds like a plan! See you after this battle has been won."
With that said, Metalla X loses connection with his fiancée and turns his attention back over towards Omega X. They nodded their heads to one another.
"I get it now! You now want War Dramon and Mystic Celesta to help us now that the requests have been made?" asked Omega X, "Ok. I'll just call for-"
"No! They'll be attacking the D-Reaper soon anyway. They're still with us as we speak."
Omega X looked on with shock across his face and Metalla X was about to say something that would alter the course of the battle taking place at the very moment.
"I want you to form the Life Bomb!"
"What! The Life Bomb!"
"Whoa? Did I just hear right?" War Dramon asked. "He wants Tai to use the Life Bomb!"
"How can Matt even think that it will work? It failed twice before," Mystic Celesta replied. "Matt must been desperate if he's calling on such an immediate plan."
The fusion warrior looked at Metalla X with shock across his face and knew that he didn't have enough energy to form such a powerful, attack. If he were to release an attack with that massive amount of power, it would easily kill him off due to losing his life source at the same time. But it was a risk that Omega X would have to take.
Gallantmon and Beelzebumon both started hammering away at the D-Reaper with a barrage of kicks and punches. But the D-Reaper has been able to evade each of their head on attacks with the tremendous of ease. She goes rolling back and shoots out her arms in order to grab the two megas, but they managed to maneuver just in time.
Gallantmon cups his hands together and shoots out a massive energy blast. Beelzebumon activates his positron gun and unleashes Death Slinger at the same time. The attacks combined with one another into one massive ball of energy and blasted right in front of the D-Reaper. They both were panting as the smoke cloud was starting to clear away.
"Did we get her?" asked Beelzebumon.
"I don't know, but lets not be too confident just yet."
As soon as he said that, D-Reaper was still standing there with her hands on her hips and an evil grin on her face.
"You spoke too soon, pineapple head!"
"Damn it!"
"YOU GIVE ME PAIN! NOW I'LL GIVE YOU PAIN! ETERNAL PAIN! YOU TWO SHALL PERISH!"
D-Reaper slowly started marching over towards the two fighters as they quickly got into fighting stances. Even with their combined effort, they were still unable to bring down the D-Reaper.
Omega X was still shocked over what Metalla X had just said a little while ago. Now he was told to form his trump card attack, the deadly Life Bomb!
Earth.
The people throughout the planet were slowly being revived one by one by the powers of the digicores. Once they woke up, they had no idea of how they were revived and who was responsible for reviving them back from the dead.
"My god. I can't believe it. We're back to life," a man said as he stood up and examined his body. "But unreal, I can't believe I'm really alive."
Suddenly, more people all around him were each being brought back. He looked around shocked and was beginning to wonder how they were each being brought back from the dead.
"What in the hell is going on here? Am I just seeing things or are we in heaven?"
Even Yami Yugi was revived from death. He looked around at the number of people being revived through a mysterious power.
"How odd. I thought everything had come to an end."
"Yug!" a teen's voice calls out.
"Joey! You're alive, too!"
"Yeah, that was sure wacked out. One minute we were goners and now we're back to life."
"I have a good feeling those children had something to do with this," Yami Yugi replied. "Wherever you kids are, I thank you. You are indebted with my gratitude."
Sailor Venus and Sailor Mars were tending to injured civilians who were caught by building debris during the D-Reaper's invasion.
"It's a miracle," Venus said. "This is something Sailor Moon would do."
"Though it wasn't her. I bet you those kids with their 'digimon' helped to restore the planet. I'm not too sure how but I'm glad they did," replied Mars.
"Let us all be thankful for them," a young man's voice calls. out.
It came from none other than Michael, along with his Metal Seadramon.
"Those kids are my friends and just you watch! They'll beat this D-Reaper and restore peace to our world!"
Everyone nods as they now put their hopes and faiths to the Digi-Destined/Tamer team. The fate of the two universes were at stake and they couldn't afford to lose it all.
Planet Tunip
Yamaki was looking through the orb and was astonished by the turn of events. Earth and its inhabitants have been restored. He couldn't believe at what he was seeing before him. People were being revived back from the dead, just right after the D-Reaper's planetary destruction.
"Oh my god… What in the… How are these people being brought back to life?"
"It's as if our prayers have been answered," Riley said.
"Yay! Our families have been restored!" Yolei cheered. "Isn't that right, Naomi? Our home has been brought back!"
"This is so fantastic!" Ken exclaimed. "Welcome back, Mother Earth."
"The warrior was right. When comes death, comes resurrection," Talley said.
"Whoo-hoo! Now we can go home after this fight is finished. I could use a little massage," Terriermon said.
"Make that two," Gomamon responded.
"So, you're digimon's got a smart mouth?" Joe asked Henry.
"Yep."
A smile formed across the face of Yamaki. He does recall the Bible stating that Christ would be resurrected after death. In this case, Earth faced certain death and was restored back to its glory.
"I find it unbelievable for those kids of finding a way to restore everything that was lost from the D-Reaper. It's shame that half of this city is needed to be rebuilt, but all that matters is that the citizen's lives are being restored. Life is much too precious to be taken away and it's something you're son has taught me, Mr. Wong."
The father of Henry Wong nodded in reply.
"I told you to never underestimate these children."
The entire group within the room gathered around as they set their sights on the battle that was taking place before them. The very same battle that would determine the fate anf future of the entire digital universe.
"I leave this up to you and you're friends, Takato…"
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Omega X was still taken back at what Metalla X had just said. He had never created the Life Bomb in such a long time, and it was a very difficult technique to complete and it had to be done with perfection. Omega X spoke up as he broke the sudden silence.
"You want me to create the Life Bomb? Now? Even when my body is not even at its one hundred percent finest? I just don't see anyway for me to do that."
"Why not?"
"Because it's going to require everything from within my body and from the energy of every single life form, digital or biological. Think of its as a sort of 'spirit ball'. I used it when I fought Burizalor, but it barely even killed him. Hell, I didn't even work against Metal Garurumon those years ago. Though I'll admit, that ball wasn't at its best since there weren't much life force to gather any energy from."
"That's what I'm saying. Now that the other digital world's digimon populations have been restored, you can gather energy from the two worlds and our very own world as well. Our home planet has been restored. Our families have been brought back to life. We can also gather energy from throughout the digital universe. I'm sure everyone will want to help out. Our common enemy is the D-Reaper after all."
"So, I'll gather as much energy as I can and throw it. Yeah, I like it!'
"No…"
"What? Why not?"
"You won't be using the Life Bomb. There's not need. All you have to do is set it up."
"So, what do you want me to do?"
"I want Takato to finish the D-Reaper off with the Life Bomb."
"Takato! But his Gallantmon body might not maintain it's form and the force of the Life Bomb will most likely kill him!"
"No, I know he can do it. Just follow my lead, Tai. I know what I'm doing. Allow Takato to deliver the final blow. It's time to pass the torch once again. You did it for you're sister seven years ago. She helped mold Takato into who he is and it's up to you to lead an example for the boy. Allow him to finish the monster off."
"Yeah, I get you're point! Ok!"
Omega X nods and then turns his attention back over towards the battle continuing as Beelzebumon and Gallantmon were giving it their all against the D-Reaper. Mummymon and Black Gatomon were also looking on from a great distance away.
"C'mon! You two are supposed to have beaten her by now!" Mummymon exclaimed, "I can't believe this! I would have beaten D-Reaper in about a minute if I wanted to!"
"What? D-Reaper even took out those two fighters over there at the same time. So the result of this won't be any different. Dee is just too strong for them."
"Yeah, but have a little faith once and a while. Besides, I know they won't know. Because if they do, I'll step in and fight the D-Reaper myself."
"Um you're joking right?"
"I'm joking wrong, kitty cat! This fight is going to have to go down between the D-Reaper and myself anyway. I was sent here to protect the other digital world that I come from. I have to make Arukenimon proud of me."
"I see. Wow, I never thought you be declared a hero in another world."
"Well I am and the people love me! See? I got autographs and photographs to prove it."
"OK, ok. You've proven me enough. Lets just watch how the battle is going to turn out."
"Oh, right. C'mon! You two can take her out! Give her a one two!"
Mummymon turns his attention back over towards the battle that was still taking place, which Black Gatomon had pointed out to. They watched in anticipation of the two fighters facing off against the D-Reaper.
Jeri kept at a safe distance while tightening her grip on Calumon.
"We can't hide here any longer. Eventually, we're going to get caught," Jeri thought. "C'mon, Takato! You can beat this witch!"
D-Reaper goes punching Gallantmon in the stomach, which then goes crawling backwards. Beelzebumon comes up from behind and nails the D-Reaper with clubbed forearm smash. This rocked D-Reaper back and caused her to nail Beelzebumon right in the gut. Beelzebumon wheezed in pain and then delivers another hard punch into her stomach. D-Reaper takes the hit and then delivers a knee to Beelzebumon's face, which rocked him backwards. D-Reaper goes phasing out and then goes behind Beelzebumon to deliver a spinning back wheel kick.
Gallantmon rises to his feet and activates his twin lances. Gallantmon slashes right at D-Reaper with his sword, but she managed to maneuver to the side and allowed the slashes to cut right through some nearby rocks instead. D-Reaper goes reappearing right in front of Gallantmon and starts hammering him away. D-Reaper delivers a head butt to the face of Gallantmon.
"Guilmon! We have to continue this fight! No matter what the consequences, we can't allow ourselves to be defeated! People are counting on the fact that the battle has to be won! Guilmon, we're doing this together. We'll even go down in defeat together. But I'm not about to lose you."
Gallantmon rose to his feet and regained the momentum as he started to punch away at the D-Reaper, sending her flying after a barrage of punches.
"Beelzebumon! Are you alright?"
"Never been better, pineapple head! I was just getting my second wind. All right! Lets do this!"
Beelzebumon goes soaring overhead and started firing down multiple blasts down upon the D-Reaper. Beezelbumon the proceeds to fire away more Death Slinger's at the fallen D-Reaper which caused a massive smoke cloud to form.
"Matt, I even doubt that the Life Bomb will even work, it's going to require a lot of energy to be contributed to me."
"Yes, but the digimon and our people must be made to solve their own problems. You know what? I'll be the one to ask them to contribute nearly of the energy at once!"
"Sounds like a plan. Shall we get started right away?"
"Yes and we better make it quick! I don't think Takato and Beelzebumon are going to take it much longer."
"I'm sure they'll be fine, but we better get started on our part right away."
"Yeah. The sooner, the better."
Original Digital World. Land of the Holy Beasts
Shintomon, Gosenzomon and Mimi stood around as they gazed over at the four digicores that were each emitting a neon green light. Shintomon spoke up to break the sudden silence.
"So, do you got a third request? After all, you only have one left. We better make it a good one," the higher power said.
"So what are you going to request for," asked Gosenzomon.
"Matt! This is Mimi again! What should I make for a third request!"
"Huh! How should I know! Hmmm, it's your decision. You do whatever you want with it."
"My own decision? Well all right. Any ideas, guys? Gosenzomon? Shintomon? What should I request for? Lets see here."
"You better make your decision, we're needed back. The others might be starting to get worried of our absence," said Shintomon.
"You're right. All right, if I can't think of a good wish. Then theres always a bad one," Mimi said, "Hmmm…"
"I'll tell you what though. Why don't you try to help me find a way to communicate with the people of the three worlds, much like Dark Magimon did? Shintomon? Gosenzomon? How does that sound?"
"We can't do that," Gosenzomon replied.
Mimi and Shintomon were gasping in shock at what the older higher power had just said, but this did not set well for Metalla X. He literally was starting to boil up to the fact that even the older supreme guardian is not allowing him.
"Maybe I can help," a much familiar voice was heard.
"Gennai! But is that really you!" Mimi called out.
"Yes. Hello again, Mimi. Hello, Matt. Hello, supreme guardians. It is I, Gennai."
"But Gennai, will you be able to help me get through into communcation with everyone on the three worlds?"
"Yes. As a matter of fact, I can. I will enable you to talk to every single person and digimon alive on the three worlds."
"Thanks, Gennai. You've always been there for us at the time of need."
"I'm just repaying a debt for you, Digi-Destined. You've done so much for us that I needed to repay you. After all, the sake of the digital universe is at stake here."
"I'm ready whenever you are, Gennai."
"You can speak clearly now. You may begin.
Earth.
The entire populations of world had stopped at their tracks and were hearing an echoing voice from out of their minds and could see Metalla X sending out a transmission message to every single one of them.
"People of earth. I really need your help. I'm literally imploring you for your help."
His voice goes echoing off cities worldwide and everyone had stopped at what they were doing to stop and listened to Metalla X's message in confusion.
"I know a portion of the human population were affected by the D-Reaper in some form or matter. I saw what kind of destruction it had caused to your homes and your cities. Believe me. I had bad experiences with it too. But this is much more important. You were revived by a great power from the digicores. This is not a dream."
"No way. That sure doesn't sound like a dream!" Sakura Kinomoto said.
"After that Demon guy, how could I refuse to believe this guy?" replied Ryoko.
New Digital World
(Metallica's "One" theme plays)
"Digimon of each digital world. Hear me out! You also have been victims as well! The D-Reaper has taken away lives and has destroyed many worlds along with it. But we can't allow its wave of destruction to continue any longer. This is it. This is the time we fight back against the evil. You're either with us or against us. It really doesn't matter. But you know what the right choice is. You either fight to survive or cower out to die. Remember, this is your damn choice!"
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Mummymon was looking on rather confused and looks right over towards Omega X with a look of concern.
"Just what the heck is he talking about? Has he lost it?"
"No. He's communicating with the people of the three worlds."
"Well, I guess I am still dreaming after all… C'mon! Lets take this chance and team up against D-Reaper!"
"Mummymon, you're just going to have to wait a minute," Omega X replied, "This has to be done and it will ensure us to come out of this alive."
"Really! Oh, I never really thought of that."
"He's right and you better just stay out of this fight," Black Gatomon said, "Just put aside you're stupid pride and use your head for once."
Mummymon sighed and nodded in agreement. He withdrew himself from the battle and went along with the plan.
Jeri heard looked out towards where Metalla X was speaking out to the digimon from the other Digital World. She wondered what he was doing that was very important. However, Calumon knew.
"Why is even he staring out into space?"
"He's not. He's speaking to other people through his mind."
"That's hard for me to believe."
"It's true. He's going to ask people for their help. Though, all this mind speaking makes my head all spinny!"
"You telling me?"
"People of earth and digimon of the digital worlds! Hear me out! The battle against the D-Reaper is being taken place in afar, off place within the digital universe. But I'm not going to be able to win this battle alone. We've tried and failed. This is not time to quit and let the D-Reaper win. All that I'm asking is for you all to raise your hands into the air and contribute all of your energy towards defeating D-Reaper. That is all that I ask for."
He then fell silent and stood around to wait for the replies from the people and digimon of the three worlds. But to his surprise, he got no reply. Then Gennai spoke up.
"Matt. You're going to have to try harder than that. You have to make sure that they know what kind of right decision to make. They have to really understand the situation that we're dealing with."
With that said, Omega X began to fly high overhead and hovers up into the air, raises his arms and was beginning to create the energy ball.
Planet Tunip
Elsewhere, each of the Digi-Destined and Tamers were already raising their hands up and they each began to contribute whatever energy that had. Suzie, Kenta and Kazu were all raising their hands up and small particles of energy started to rise from their hands. Mega Gargomon, Sakuyamon, Justimon, Antiramon, Leomon, Guardromon and Marine Angemon were also contributing their digital energy.
Sora, Izzy, Joe, and Sonja all stood while sending out as much energy as needed. Garudamon, Altur Kabuterimon, Lillymon, Zudomon, Buddamon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon were also doing the same, by sending out their digital energy.
Original Digital World. Realm of the Holy Beasts
Even back over at the landscape of the four guardians, Shintomon, Gosenzomon, and Mimi were contributing some of their own energy as well. Then along came the energy from Azulongmon and his fellow guardians at the very same time. This is just what Omega X had needed for his Life Bomb and enables it to get as strong as possible, especially from the energy sources of the guardians themselves.
Earth
Soon, everyone within Shinjuku were raising their hands and released their energy. Yami Yugi, the Sailor Senshi, Yusuke and Ryoko helped rally the people to get together to help out the warriors.
"That's it! We'll send you as much energy as we can!" Joey cries out. "Now this is so cool! We're saving the world again, Yug!"
"No. Everyone on the planet will help save the universe," the former pharaoh replied.
Sakura pulls out her pom-poms and got the crowd rallied up.
"C'mon everyone! Send that energy! If we can't do it, noone can!"
Michael and Metal Seadramon also sent some of their own energy to the skies above.
Soon, there was a massive wave of spirit energy being sent through space itself and through a dimensional rift found in the Asteroid Belt. The energy would then be sent straight to the Digital Universe.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Every trace of energy was then being sent directly towards the location of the planet and towards one certain energy force. Their energy began to amass into a large sphere forming above in Omega X's upheld hands, and he looks on impressed with the large amount of energy that he was receiving.
"Take a look at that!" Mystic Celesta calls out. Everyone's transferring their energy to the Life Bomb. I see! Once my brother finishes the Life Bomb, he'll want Takato to use it."
"What? How can Takato even use such an excessive force of energy? He'll be too worn out from his fight. He and Beelzebumon aren't doing well at the moment," said Pikkan.
"If my brother knows what he's doing, then he' got to be doing this for a very good reason. Just trust in my brother's instincts," Mystic Celesta assured the alterian. "By the way, think of this Life Bomb as a Cosmic Terra Force!"
"Well, I'm a believer," War Dramon stated. "I know Takato can do it. He just needs to stay in the game."
"Let's transfer some of our own energy into the Life Bomb! C'mon, guys!"
With that said, the trio lifted their hands up and released portions of their own energy for the Life Bomb force. The sphere began to grow with immense proportions.
"My god, look at this energy! Just what I needed! The last was from Kari and the others on the cliff. Keep sending more energy, people! This is much better! I can feel your power and strength building up into the ball! I can feel it!"
The energy ball had gotten a very good start from each of the Digi-Destined, Tamers and their digimon, as well as the supreme and four digimon guardians godly energy. This is the much needed boost Omega X needed to build up his energy ball. This is exactly what he really needed. The Life Bomb swells even bigger and bigger, until it got even larger than his entire body in itself. Metalla X looks on with a pleased look across his face. Shintomon and Gosenzomon, watching on form the original digital world, were also watching on overjoyed as their plan was coming into full affect.
(End theme)
"I see that the ball should be much larger," Gennai replied, "The earthlings and the digimon should also be able to contribute their energy to ensure that the ball gets even bigger than it already is. We need everyone to contribute their energy."
"The digimon of the newer digital world were already revived," Shintomon replied, "Now we're going to ask for the third, and final request from the digicores. It is very important."
Beelzebumon and Gallantmon continued to attack the D-Reaper with everything they got, but the D-Reaper seemingly was beating them using his speed to evade their attacks. Beelzebumon goes flying right up after D-Reaper and fires away several more Death Slingers, which D-Reaper was able to avoid. She phases right in front of Beelzebumon and delivers a kick to the side of his head.
But then, Beelzebumon respond by powering up and unleashing Chaos Flare. D-Reaper watches it coming right for her but she manages to phase out quickly in time. Beelzebumon then turns around as he faced D-Reaper, who looked angrier like never before. She hurls an enormous ball of crimson energy, which was enough to destroy an entire planet. The huge sphere smashes itself into the planet below, which caused a large explosion.
The higher powers looked on with great horror over what was happening and watched as their own planet was about to be destroyed by a single blast by the D-Reaper.
Omega X and Metalla X managed to brace themselves against an enormous wind of energy that the explosion was sending off. As soon as the dust was clearing, D-Reaper drops down to the center of the crater that she had created from the single blast herself. She started looking around, with both Crimson Mode and Beelzebumon nowhere in sight. Suddenly the rocks at the bottom started to stir, and the two fighters came shooting out from the debris below. Gallantmon held out his two lances and Beelzebumon held out his positron gun. Both were charged up and ready to attack.
"Dodge this!" the warriors exclaimed
"NO! YOU DIE!"
They then started attacking D-Reaper at once together. She attempted to avoid every blow being thrown at her, but was having such a hard time with the two fighters. It was a Death Slinger and Invincible Sword galore. D-Reaper was able to barely dodge those attacks and phases right out of sight.
Mummymon watches on laughing and cheering on the two megas, while Metalla X looked on with a serious look on his face.
"C'mon Takato and Beelzebumon. You two have to hold out the D-Reaper just a little longer. We know you can do it. Just give us a little more time. We definitely need time on our side here."
"Matt!"
Metalla X quickly turns his attention into the skies above and saw Omega X with his hands outstretched and the Life Bomb starting to grow larger in size.
"My Life Bomb doesn't look like it's getting anymore bigger, Matt!"
"What! But that's not right! You're attack should have been finished by now with all of these life forces that I'm sensing from the three worlds."
Just then, Metalla X could overhear every tone of the digimon back from the new digital world, the ones that were killed off by D-Reaper.
"Yo! We remember you! You're the one who killed our fellow digimon at the stadium! We managed to escape and we remember what you look like! Why should we help you for what you've done!" a Gotsumon exclaimed.
"So you came crawling back just to ask for our help? Why don't you go crawl back from the sewers you belong, you slime ball," a Vegiemon said.
"Plus how do we know that you aren't working for the D-Reaper and Dark Magimon anyways?" asked a Gazimon, "You could just be jerking our chain! We don't trust you!"
Mystic Celesta and the others were taken back by these insults. They could only fuel their own anger.
"What! Don't you even care what's going to happen to your own planet!" Mystic Celesta asked.
"You damn ass punks! You better recognize who were are!" War Dramon shouted. "We just revived you're candy asses and this is how you repay us!"
"I don't blame them," Pikkan said. "They're still in shock over what the D-Reaper had done to their homes. Though, I will say this… YOU STUPID ASS IDIOTS WON'T YOU JUST CONTRIBUTE TO SAVE YOUR OWN ASSES! YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE AGAIN, DO YA'LL!"
Mystic Celesta and War Dramon were quite taken back by Pikkan's loud outburst, which off course attracted Jeri.
"Look it's Pikkan and now he's talking to the sky as well. What the heck is going on here?"
"They're speaking out to those meanies who won't help us."
"Meanies?"
"C'mon! At least contribute! C'mon! You're not playing nice!"
"This is just so odd…"
Just then, Jeri looks up and gasps at one of the most magnificent scenes she's ever laid her eyes upon.
"Calumon! Take a look at that!"
"Wow! A shiny ball of energy! Those meanies won't send more energy to make it bigger. Once it gets bigger, it'll really be shiny!"
"Shiny? It's so beautiful."
Metalla X was taken back by their insults and the verbal negativity that he was receiving by the digimon. He couldn't believe how much pain he had inflicted on those that lost their fellow digimon at the stadium. He felt terrible and knew that they would never forgive him.
"Damn you all! Aren't you even concerned for your own damned world! If you don't go through with this, then the D-Reaper is just going to wipe you out again! Is that what you want! Don't tell me that you want to die again!"
Meanwhile, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon attacked the D-Reaper once again with a barrage of punches and kicks. D-Reaper was able to maneuver from each being thrown at her. She moves around so fast that even the two mega level digimon were left in a gust of dust and unable to find her. D-Reaper giggles and fires a ki-blast onto them. An explosion occurs and brought a smile across the face of the D-Reaper.
As soon as the smoke cleared away, the two mega digimon were down on their knees with cuts and scratches all over their bodies. Beelzebumon looks up and seethes with anger.
"Heh. Heh. NOW YOU SHALL DIE!"
"Takato. I've tried my best. I'm sorry."
"Guilmon! We can't allow the D-Reaper to win! No way at all! We're sorry, Tai! We just couldn't hold her off as long as you wanted."
However, the proud Beelzebumon wouldn't go down that easily and began firing away ki-blasts at the D-Reaper, who was still levitating in the air. She slams one between her palms and easily deflected the others. Beezlebumon growled angrily and tries to fire some more, but then realized that he was running out of energy. D-Reaper lunges down and kicks him away into some nearby rocks. Beelzebumon was left lying among a pile of rubble and had a painful look across his face.
"Damn! That's it guys! We better make our move!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"We're right behind you!" War Dramon replied.
As soon as she said that, the trio flew back down to the battlefield to face off against the D-Reaper. The monster turned as the three warriors surrounded her.
Mystic Celesta charges out and delivers numerous kicks at the D-Reaper. The demon was barely able to withstand such a quick force from the angelic warrior. Mystic Celesta sees an opening and blasts D-Reaper away with a Holy Beam.
"Whoa! Hey! Not to close guys!" Omega X calls out
War Dramon flies over behind the D-Reaper and delivers a spinning back kick. This was enough to send D-Reaper flying through a pile of rocks. The warrior then polishes off the D-Reaper by spitting out numerous ghosts.
"All right! Here's the bottom of the ninth! War Dramon up to bat! Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!"
The ghosts obeyed their master's command and flew out towards the rock pile. Then, massive explosions started to occur as D-Reaper was taking a devastating amount of damage.
Pikkan puts his fists together and then executes his Thunder Flash Attack technique towards the rock pile. However, the D-Reaper came jumping through the rock piles as good as new. The electrical blasts made their mark and nailed D-Reaper. The monster overcame such pain and laughed off the pain.
"Damn! My attacks aren't doing shit anymore!" Pikkan cursed.
"You telling me? This bitch isn't going down!" War Dramon retorted.
"No! We're going to stall him enough time for Omega X to switch with Gallantmon! We can't allow D-Reaper to find out about our secret plan!" Mystic Celesta stated.
Metalla X couldn't take the fact that the digimon had refused to help him, so he walked over towards the battlefield. His eyes were fueling with anger like never before.
"Come on, D-Reaper! I'll take you here and now! Lets go!"
"Matt! You have to keep appealing to the digimon of the newer digital world. It's our only hope! Please try to get through with them."
The fusion warrior had a mixture of anger and frustration twisted across his face. He sighs and then goes to try to communicate with the digimon once again.
"Damn it! You digimon better get your thick heads straightened out! I need your energy to fill up the Life Bomb that my friend is about to use. It will seal the end of the D-Reaper! Just think, once we unleash this attack, then the D-Reaper will be defeated! Isn't that what you want! No more D-Reaper!"
Digital Limbo
Down in digital limbo, the group of villains that were defeated in the past had gathered around. Devimon, Piedmon, Burizalor, Virus, Datamon, Metal Etemon, and many others were watching the scene through a giant crystal ball as if seeing a front view picture of the battle taking place. They were all starting to get pretty amused and couldn't contain themselves.
"You see? I told you," Burizalor spoke out, "I told you so! This is a testament to digimon's weakness and dependence of others! This is what they get for putting their trust on such a plebian race of fools."
"Ha. How could we ever doubt you, Burizalor?" Devimon said.
"I'll say! This is going to be last show of their lifetime," Metal Etemon remarked.
"Finally, both Taichi and Yamato defeated," said Virus, "Just as I wanted. Now I can have my way with them down here in hell."
Black War Greymon looks on from the background with a look of determination.
"C'mon! You've got this one in the grasp of you're hand. Don't give out yet, Taichi!"
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
"Matt! Hey isn't anybody from the three worlds contributing any energy!" asked Omega X.
"They aren't listening to me," replied Metalla X. "Come on! You all will be killed if you do not contribute energy! I need your help! Digimon and humans alike! This is no dream. This is all reality. Please, contribute energy… Now."
However, nobody was even paying attention Metalla X, which was now starting to infuriate him like never before. Omega X looked on with the energy sphere at the palms of his hands.
D-Reaper laughed maniacally as she prepared to make her next move upon Mystic Celesta, War Dramon and Pikkan. Meanwhile, Beelzebumon and Gallantmon Crimson Mode were both recovering from injuries.
"Kari? Thanks," Gallantmon said.
"You two should allow us to handle this," Mystic Celesta replied.
"Yeah. You're needed once the Life Bomb is complete," War Dramon. "So are you willing to save the day and become a hero?"
"Me, a hero?"
"HEY! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! I'M OVER HERE! I HATE NOT GETTING ATTENTION AND I HATE YOU THREE!"
"Yeah, well you can suck it!" War Dramon calls out.
"Let's go guys!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
With that said, the trio attacked the D-Reaper head on. The monster was more than willing to oblige and challenge the three warriors. They spread out, which really threw the D-Reaper's game plan off track.
Mystic Celesta cups her hands together and unleashes her most reliable technique on the demon.
"Seven Heavens Beam!"
War Dramon shoots out a massive blast that covered nearly the entire landscape. D-Reaper watched as the two blasts were aiming for her. Pikkan phases behind the D-Reaper and fires away his Thunder Flash attack. The force was strong enough to knock D-Reaper back and towards the colliding blasts. D-Reaper screamed out, as she was disintegrated.
"Yes! We got her!" War Dramon calls. "Score one for the…
"Shit! She's piecing her together!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"No shit! But we had her in such a tight position! Oh well, it's not surprising," replied War Dramon.
"We can't give up, guys! We have to stall more time!"
Within a matter of moments, the D-Reaper was already pieced together and a sadistic grin forms on her face.
"NO IT'S TIME TO PERISH, INSECTS! YOU WILL ALL DIE! HA! HA!"
What is their problem! Don't they realize that the sake of the digital universe is at stake! If they don't contribute any energy to the Life Bomb, then it could very well spell the end of our heroes! Come on, people! Time is of essence! Not even Mystic Celesta and her comrades are able to fend off the destructive imp! Can Omega X form the Life Bomb large enough for Gallantmon to use and can Gallantmon even recover from the damage inflicted by the D-Reaper?

The Cosmic Life Bomb is Ready, Takato! It's Finally Time to End the Terror of the D-Reaper!
Original Digital World
The higher powers, Shintomon and Gosenzomon, along with Mimi were standing around and thinking of a possible third request to be granted from the power of the digicores.
"We better make a decision quick because I don't think Azulongmon will be happy for us using the digicores for such a long time," said Mimi, "Plus I want to stay on the guardian's good sides."
"Well, Matt told you to make a request. So you have to choose my dear," Gosenzomon replied.
"He's right. You have to decide and fast. But it really has to be something that would be very valuable in the course of this battle. Maybe request something to help out Taichi and Yamato."
"Hmmm. You really got me there. I'm certainly not a fighting expert like those two. But I'm going to give it a try."
Mimi stood around placing her hand under her chin and was beginning to think as hard as she could. Shintomon and Gosenzomon watched Omega X on with anticipation through their crystal ball.
"It's no use! The only ones who were able to contribute any kind of energy to Omega X's Life Bomb have been the four Holy Beasts, ourselves, the other Destined, the Tamers and the population from Shinjuku. Nobody else is even releasing any energy from the three worlds, especially not that other Digital World. They still have a grudge against Yamato for killing off many of their fellow digimon," Shintomon stated.
"Ugh. I only wished that Yamato would have asked more politely than just to yell and threaten them," Gosenzomon said with a sigh.
"Yes, but the only problem is that Yamato's pride won't allow that," stated Shintomon.
Just then, they were quickly caught off by surprise as they overheard Metalla X begging out with desperation, which was unlike the fusion warrior. This even caught Mimi by surprise.
"What? Did I just hear what I thought I just heard him say?" asked Mimi.
"Exactly," replied Shintomon, "He said please. He said please!"
"This ought to be interesting…"
The trio gathered around the orb as they watched Metalla X on his knees and desperately pleading for the digimon of the new digital world, beginning for the three worlds, not for forgiveness but for help.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
"Please…" mumbled Metalla X, "Please! I am begging each and everyone of you! I need your help! Your worlds will come to an end if this is not done immediately. Please. I implore you. Help us. We need your power, your energy and your strength. All you have to do is raise your hands and help…"
Now Metalla X was literally on his knees with his hands raised over his head, as if he were calling out to the lord himself. His teeth was clenched tightly, and was having quite a hard time humbling himself before every soul hearing his pleas. He had no choice but to plead once again.
"Please! Just raise your hands in the air and contribute your energy… Please! If we don't get this over with, we will all die! Is that what you want! To die again! I surely don't want to die again. You surely don't want to die again either. So, please do us this last favor…"
The Other Digital World
The northern hemisphere was dwelling with snow and ice-covered plains, where it was home to many artic digimon. Among those were Frigimon.
They were looking up towards the skies and listened to the warrior's pleas. They all looked over towards each other and shrugged their shoulders. They started to place their hands into the hair. One by one, each artic digimon were following along with the Frigimon.
Even a large herd of Mammothmon raised their trunks, to contribute some of their own energy as well.
But just as the Frigimon were sending off energy, they felt their bodies fading and then placed their hands down at their sides. They turned towards each other giving disgruntled looks.
"What do you think? I smell something fishy here. This has to be some sort of evil trap," a Frigimon said.
"I agree!" exclaimed a Mammothmon, "We must warn every other digimon across the planet!"
Shintomon's Scared Sancutary
"Every fellow digimon! Do not listen to this murderer! This has to be some sort of evil plot to give D-Reaper more energy to kill each of us off again! I'm not buying it and neither should you!" the Mammothmon called out.
"What! Its obvious that he works for Dark Magimon! Don't you think we're too stupid to fall for such a trick," a Babamon called out.
This set the spark off from within Metalla X as anger was quickly starting to build up from within. he clenched his fists and couldn't believe that he was regarded as an evil murderer. He felt like such a bastard for doing what he did, but couldn't control it since Magimon put him under his spell. But what made him even angrier was the fact that the digimon had placed him at the same level as Dark Magimon, as far as being evil was concerned.
"Do those fools actually think I enjoy murdering other digimon! How dare they place me at the same level as that scumbag, Dark Magimon! I'm better than that unforgiving imp! How dare they question me!"
Meanwhile, both mega-level digimon were quickly being slammed against a rock cliff by the D-Reaper. Gallantmon and Beelzebumon were both embedded against the wall with rather, glazed looks across their faces.
"Pineapple head, did you get the number of that bus?"
"Uhhh, I can't even feel my body. Its as if our power was being drained somehow.."
"You guys stay down. We'll hold her off for the moment!" Mystic Celesta said. "C'mon, guys!"
With that said, she led War Dramon and Pikkan to continue their assault on the demented demon. The trio throws out a barrage of kicks and punches. The D-Reaper was able to hold them off by maneuvering from each blow. D-Reaper slides through the predicament and applies a headlock on Mystic Celesta.
"NOW YOU DIE, BLONDIE!"
"Lay off of me, bitch!"
With newfound strength, Mystic Celesta tosses D-Reaper off of her back and slams her to the ground. War Dramon leaps into the air and dives down through the fallen demon.
"Ouch. That's gotta hurt!" War Dramon teased. "Time to polish off this witch!"
War Dramon forms two energy spheres from both hands and tosses them down toward the fallen imp. D-Reaper saw the blasts coming forth and managed to move to the side. War Dramon looks on with frustration.
"MISSED ME! HA!"
Suddenly, Pikkan phases right at D-Reaper's side with his fists clenched toward her face. The demon turned as the alterian prepared to fire his favorite technique.
"Dodge this. Thunder Flash Attack!"
The massive electrical blast jolts D-Reaper as her eyes bulge out like a Looney Tunes cartoon character. D-Reaper is sent soaring up into the heavens. Mystic Celesta took this time to make her next move. She flies up and appears above the heavens.
"All right. Where are you?"
Just then, D-Reaper is found being tossed through the clouds with her body battered and bruised from the electrical attack. Mystic Celesta saw this as her opportunity and delivers a flying kick to the D-Reaper's right cheek. The angelic warrior clubs D-Reaper in the back and sends the creature plummeting to the ground below.
"Stay on her, guys! We can't give out!"
"Ding ding ding! War Dramon is back in the game!" the fused fighter chuckled.
War Dramon fires away numerous ki-blasts, which start putting damage to D-Reaper. Pikkan takes the time to recover from his injuries.
Meanwhile, Jeri and Calumon look on with relief. Calumon was dancing on the sidelines with a victory flag over his head.
"Yay! Go team! Go team!"
"I can't believe they're really doing it! Oh, Takato!"
"Don't worry, Jeri. He'll join in on the fun, too! Look on the bright side, at least the witch is…"
Just as Calumon was going to finish his sentence, the witch herself pops her way through the ground. Everyone turned as the D-Reaper was flashing a sadistic grin on her face. Calumon threw his flag down and stomps on it.
"The witch is not dead! Shucks!"
"No, she's far from dead!" Jeri replied. "What are we going to do now!"
D-Reaper screeches out a sonic wave, which starts to distract Mystic Celesta and her comrades. This gave D-Reaper an opportunity to make her move. She goes behind War Dramon and Pikkan. D-Reaper slams both of their heads together and the duo start seeing stars as a result. Mystic Celesta uncovers her ears and attempts a ki-blast, which D-Reaper easily dodged. D-Reaper goes behind Mystic Celesta and delivers a flipping neck breaker. Mystic Celesta's neck snaps back as she lies sprawled on the ground.
"No! Kari!" Omega X cries out.
"Kari!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "You damn witch!"
After disposing of the trio, D-Reaper stopped from a far off distance and holds out both of her arms. She then shot both of her arms over towards the two megas and grabs them ground their throats. D-Reaper began to pull Gallantmon and Beelzebumon both towards her. She then releases her grips and starts hammering away at the two with furious punches.
Metalla X watches on in alarm over at what was happening to Takato and Beelzebumon. He realized that they weren't going to last much longer. He had to do something and quick. Mummymon looked on with a terrified look on his face, as the same could be said for Black Gatomon.
"Looks like the dream has finally turned out to become a nightmare! When is it going to stop," asked Mummymon, "I can't take it anymore!"
"This is a nightmare that we'll never wake up out of, Mummymon. So basically, there's no way out of this."
"I want my mommy…"
D-Reaper continues her relentless assault on the two megas as she went slamming them both down onto the ground with tremendous force. Gallantmon slowly rises to his feet, but D-Reaper phases in front of him.
"D-Reaper!"
"DIE!"
She smiled and then started punching Gallantmon right in the stomach repeatedly. She then grabs Beelzebumon by the head and has the demon lord hanging by his neck limply. D-Reaper then lets go of Beelzebumon and drops him like a ton of steel. Beezlebumon was just about out of it and goes rolling down into the crater next to him. Gallantmon was slowly making up onto feet and looks right up at the D-Reaper.
D-Reaper goes landing back down onto the ground and goes facing off Gallantmon. A wicked smile forms across her face as she aims her hand right in front of his race.
Mystic Celesta opens her eyes and watches as her pupil prepares to meet his demise. Her eyes start to water with tears as the pain from her neck.
"Taka… to…"
War Dramon and Pikkan look on as they prepare to witness the unthinkable.
"Damn it… We got our asses kicked… We can't lose Takato… C'mon, kid…" War Dramon muttered under his breathe.
"We're… fucked…" replied the alterian.
"Looks like this is it, Boy. We're done for."
"Takato! It can't end like this! It just can't!"
"I'm afraid to say it, but we are really done for."
D-Reaper starts grinning maniacally as a beam of light was preparing to come shooting right out from the palm of her hand and the fate for Gallantmon was soon going to come into an end. But just as she was about to blast him, a figure phases out from out of nowhere and nails D-Reaper right at the side of her head. D-Reaper is sent sliding back into the ground as Gallantmon saw Sakuyamon appear before him.
Ruki's theme "Moon Fighter" plays
"Are you ok, Gallantmon?"
"We're fine. Thank you."
"Hey, Takato. Are you okay?" Rika asked within Sakuyamon.
"Yeah. Thanks to you, I'm fine."
"You owe me big time when this is all said and done, goggle head."
"Yeah. Big time."
"I brought along reinforcements. You can thank Shintomon for this."
"Shintomon?"
"Yeah. He managed to come and teleport us here in the nick of time. I brought Mega Gargomon, Garudamon and Rosemon along."
"Yes, that is what the doctor ordered! We might hold the D-reaper off with those numbers. We have to give Tai more time to finish up that Life Bomb!"
"Now, let's stop all of this big talk and give the D-Reaper the biggest ass kicking she's ever received," Sakuyamon said.
"I'm with you."
"Can't go and forget about us!" Mega Gargomon calls out. "Plus, I've brought along some surprises of my own!"
I meet assistance, and now is it time to find my beliefs?
Truth? Hah! I'm grasping at straws!
The three mega-level digimon quickly powered up with bright auras flashing all around them. D-Reaper quickly makes it back on her feet. She looks and faces the bio-merged megas with a look of tremendous and furious anger. She turns to see Garudamon and Rosemon putting up battle stances. It was now down to five on one.
"Looks like we've just pissed her off," Gallantmon said.
"Well, lets go and wipe that stupid smug look off of her face! Ready?" Mega Gargomon exclaimed.
"As we'll ever be," Rosemon said.
"Set!"
D-Reaper screams out and goes flying at the megas and ultimate with tremendous speed. The heroes both stood their ground and prepared for the worst to come. But then, D-Reaper stopped at the last moment and turned her attention over to Omega X. She quickly noticed that Omega X was floating up in the air above them, with the ever-growing Cosmic Terra Force AKA Life Bomb slowly starting to form at the palm of his up stretched hands.
"Tai! Look out!" the group cries out.
D-Reaper changes course and goes charging up towards Omega X with a look of furious anger. Omega X looks towards the monster heading his direction and gasped in shock.
"Shit! It's not even done! She's actually going to attack me when my guard is down! Some warrior this D-Reaper turned out to be."
"What is that? A shiny glow of light… ARGH! I HATE PURITY! I HATE LIGHT! I'LL KILL YOU FOR MAKING THE LIGHT! KILL YOU!"
"Then come and get me, bitch," Omega X muttered.
As soon as D-Reaper was drawing nearer towards the fusion warrior, Metalla X looks up and clenches his fists angrily. His teeth were grinding down with anger and he started to speak in thoughts.
"Damn it! Looks like it's up to me to stop the D-Reaper! I've had enough of this bullshit! D-Reaper, this is it! The final straw! I'm going to stop you and do whatever it takes to give you the fight of your life! Do you hear me, bitch!"
(Repeat theme)
Omega X turns his attention back towards the skies above and started calling forth towards the digimon that turned down the helping hands to Metalla X earlier on. Unlike Metalla, Omega X went on to ask them much more politely.
"Please, fellow digimon. I ask of you to help us. Contribute the energy to me so I will be able to defeat the D-Reaper. I ask of you to contribute to once again bring peace and harmony to the Digital World and put an end to the evil presence of the D-Reaper…"
Omega X takes a look down, as Metalla X was starting to battle against the D-Reaper once again in a hard fought battle. He was starting to fear for the worst for his comrade.
"I don't think its possible for Matt to hold off the D-reaper much longer. By the time, I'm finished with my Cosmic Terra Force, he'll probably be dead. I have to act fast!"
D-Reaper and Metalla X face each other in midair and looked right through each other with anger and hatred. Metalla X never has hated anybody more than the D-Reaper. But the D-Reaper shared the same disgust for Metalla X and his digital way of fighting and protecting the innocence of digimon.
D-Reaper reaches her hand out and waves over towards the fusion warrior as if telling him to bring it. Metalla X growls angrily and a wave of aura starts surrounding his body. He goes flying towards the D-Reaper with his fists clenched and his power increasing like never before. This was his last chance to once again prove to himself and Tai that he will do what he can in order to ensure that the D-Reaper will be a broken mess before it was all said and done.
Metalla X goes charging forwards as he screamed with utter rage and hatred. But D-Reaper was able to see him coming and managed to maneuver to the side effortlessly. D-Reaper takes advantage and delivers a devastating punch into Metalla X's stomach. D-Reaper grabs him by the head and starts pummeling away at the face of Metalla X like there was no tomorrow.
The group both looked on with shock as Beelzebumon was slowly rising from out of the crater.
"Man, he's taking an ass-whooping!" Rosemon said.
"He's not going to last much longer at this rate!" Garudamon exclaimed
"We have to help, Gallantmon! If D-Reaper keeps up at this rate, we're surely going to lose, Metalla X," said Sakuyamon.
"Not just yet, Sakuyamon. We shall wait until he gives us a signal to move out."
"Goggle head! Has you goggles gone straight to your head! Matt is going to die at this rate if we don't stop the D-Reaper from inflicting those painful blows."
"No I say that because it seems Metalla X has a plan up his sleeve. We wouldn't be doing this unless he has a plan in mind."
"Um, are you sure about that? Because it doesn't look like a very bright idea," Rosemon said. "And I would hate to clean up the mess those two left behind."
"She's right! We have to move out now!" Garudamon snapped.
"Just trust me. If anything goes wrong, then we'll step in and take over. That ok?"
"Whatever. We have to do whatever to takes to keep the D-Reaper from attacking Omega X while he's still busy collecting more energy to fully power his Life Bomb," Sakuyamon replied.
"All right. Let's keep our eyes peeled just in case. Beelzebumon, you need to rest up. You're body is bad condition anyway," said Gallantmon.
"No way. I'll fight alongside you guys. I have to fight in order to make my Tamers proud! I have to make Ai and Makoto proud!"
"They're already proud of you, Beelzebumon. Just look at them. They're happy to even reunite with you," Gallantmon said.
"He's right. You stay behind and regain your power. We'll take it from here. We can't afford to lose you especially when your Tamers are watching this very battle," Sakuyamon replied, "So you stay put."
"Fine. But if things get ugly, I'm getting my involved. Deal!"
"Deal!" the bio-merged digimon replied in unison.
"But lets just hope for Matt's sake that he can hang on for a little while longer," Takato said in Gallantmon's thoughts.
"People of Earth. Digimon of Digital Worlds. Please I beg of you to give me your strength and your energy that will enable me to create the biggest Cosmic Terra Force that will enable to defeat the D-Reaper once and for all! I implore you that this is no dream and I do not work for the forces of Magimon. I speak of the truth alone…"
(End theme)
View of the Digital/Real Worlds
As soon as he said that, every single digimon from the digital worlds were sending out as much as energy as they can. They were easily able to trust the much more gentle and brave-hearted hero after all. The energy force of the Cosmic Terra Force ball was getting stronger and bigger by the mass.
Even the people of the Earth were holding out their hands and watched as streams of energy were starting to flow in wave-like patterns into the skies above. The magnificence of the streams were so beautiful and brought sudden harmony among the planet itself. They gave their energy since Omega X had asked them out of kindness and they were beginning to think that 'God' had spoken to them.
"Yes. I can feel your energy forces entering the ball! Yes! It's getting bigger. It needs more power. Give me more! I will need more to make it bigger than it ever has been before."
Russia
Just then, the Russian Digi-Destined recognized the warrior's call and knew what to do. They put their hands up and gathered everyone around town to follow along.
"Please! We must send out our energy! Don't worry! This person calling to us is our friend!" Yuri calls out.
"Yes! That's the way! This one's for you Taichi Kamiya!" Sonya replied.
"Beat that monster! You and you're friends are our last prayers!" Anna exclaimed.
Mexico
A grown-up Rosa looks up as Omega X's voice cries out for help. She looks over to Gotsumon and nods her head. They then gathered a group of their friends and families to raise their hands.
"This is our thanks to you, chico!" Rosa cries out. "You can do it!"
Paris, France
Katherine and Floramon raised their hands to donate some of their own energy to the cosmic call of life.
"Take our energy! I know that TK is with you now! Any friend of TK is a friend of mine!"
Worldwide view
Soon, everyone associated with digimon across the globe were donating energy. This also includes Derek from Australia, Mina from India, the Poi Brothers from Hong Kong, and the Digi-Destined from New York.
"Please I will need more. People and digimon hear my call. I need more. The D-reaper is getting stronger by the minute. You will just have to trust me."
As soon as he did that, more digimon and humans were following along and transferred as much energy as they could. Their energy would be enough to feed the massive energy ball of the Cosmic Terra Force.
Digital Limbo
Black War Greymon looks on graciously as the amount of life energy was being donated towards Omega X's Cosmic Terra Force. The dark mega chuckled to himself.
"Yeah! That's our hero. Isn't he just great? Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Original Digital World
Artificial Jax looks up and listened to Omega X's cries. A cocky grin forms on his face as he quickly recognized the warrior's voice.
"Yeah. That's a voice you would hear everyday. Kind of ironic that he'll need some of my energy after I was designated to kill his ass."
Just then, Ogremon was seen walking by with a basket of food. Jax points a gun over to Ogremon, which forced the ogre to raise his hands high.
"That's it. You keep those hands up high."
With that said, Jax donated some of his life energy for Omega X's ultimate weapon.
Looking on from afar were Centaurumon, Piximon and Andromon. The trio was also sending their own data energy to Omega X's Cosmic Terra Force.
"You can do it, friend! We believe in you!"
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
As Omega X continued to plead to every single living soul out among the three worlds, the D-Reaper continued to pummel away at Metalla X. She drives her first forward and sends Metalla X flying down towards the ground below. As soon as he landed with a loud crash, D-reaper goes flying down over to the warrior's fallen body and starts striking him while he was down. D-Reaper snarls and goes leaping up into the air as she went after Omega X once again.
Mystic Celesta, War Dramon and Pikkan rose to their feet as they witnessed the cosmic life sphere growing by gigantic proportions.
"All right… You did it, Tai…" Mystic Celesta muttered despite an injured neck. "D-Reaper won't know what hit her…"
"Yeah! I can't wait until he nails that bitch and blows her up sky high!" War Dramon cheers.
"Look at that, Jeri! Isn't it beautiful?"
"It's gorgeous. I can feel life itself from that ball. It's pure and precious, a complete opposite of what this creature represents."
The Cosmic Terra Force has now swelled a little bigger than before, but it's still nowhere near the strongest level possible to destroy D-Reaper now. Omega X looks on with a horrified look on his face and could only stand helplessly as he still held the energy ball intact over his outstretched hands. But just in time, twin energy blasts shoot out of nowhere and struck the D-Reaper head on.
The monster stops and looks down to see who had shot her. She growled angrily as Sakuyamon, Mega Gargomon and Gallantmon both stood with their hands outstretched and their hands smoking up. Garudamon and Rosemon flew behind D-Reaper as they were ready to pounce the demon.
"I'LL KILL YOU ALL! KILL YOU ALL DEAD!"
"Thanks guys!" Omega X calls out. "You really saved my skin!"
"No problem, Tai! We'll take it from here!" exclaimed Gallantmon, "Ready Sakuyamon?"
"As I ever will be, Gallantmon. Let us fight together," Sakuyamon replied.
"Damn! I still need Takato to use the Cosmic Terra Force!" Omega X thought. "Don't fight too hard, Takato. You're still needed."
The bio-merged digimon go flying over at the D-Reaper and started to attack her head-on. D-Reaper was easily able to maneuver from each of their attempted punches and kicks. Gallantmon goes flying back and cups the palms of his hands together. He proceeds to blast several ki-blasts at the D-Reaper, who managed to phase them out with her hands. Another energy beam came hurtling out of nowhere and blasted D-Reaper, which sent her flying back through a nearby rock wall. Sakuyamon was levitating with her hand held out.
"We'll take it from here! Let 'em rip, Terriermon!" Mega Gargomon cries out, under Henry's voice. "Like you had to ask!"
"Let's go for it, Garudamon!" Rosemon replied.
"Yes! This one's for everyone you destroyed!"
"Mega Barrage!"
"Wing Blade!"
"Thorn Whip!"
"Nice shot, guys!"
"Its not over yet. That blast was only able to temporarily distract her. Here she comes! Brace yourself!" Sakuyamon exclaimed.
Gallantmon quickly turns and watches as the whole rock wall started to explode into a large mass of cloud smoke. Then out of nowhere, the D-Reaper came flying right at Gallantmon and started hammering away at him with lefts and rights. Gallantmon managed to maneuver to the side and delivers a kick, but D-Reaper was able to catch his foot in time.
"SNAP! CRACKLE! POP! HA! HA!"
D-Reaper twisted his foot around and spins the crimson knight around. Sakuyamon comes charging right for the D-Reaper and somersaulted over her. D-Reaper quickly phases right out and delivers a kick to the somersaulting Sakuyamon with the tremendous of ease. Mega Gargomon goes for a spinning kick, which D-Reaper was able to avoid. The demon delivers a low blow to Mega Gargomon, which sent him sprawling on the ground.
"THAT WAS CHEAP!"
Garudamon and Rosemon went for a double team assault, however the D-Reaper saw them coming. She sends out two massive ki-blasts to knock them back.
"Please! People of earth! Digimon alike. You all have to give in more energy. This is just not enough."
"Come on, Sakuyamon! We have to hold out much longer!"
"We're trying out best! C'mon Gallantmon! We have to do this, even if we have to die together."
"Why would you ever think we would fall in defeat? That won't ever happen! We'll fight until the very end. But we will not die!"
"You've convinced me long enough. Lets go, for a little round two, D-Reaper!"
"ANOTHER ROUND! YOU DIE THIS ROUND!"
D-Reaper replies with an evil smirk across her face and goes flying over towards the two seasoned warriors. Gallantmon continues on hammering away with fists and kicks. Sakuyamon tried hand-to-hand combat in order to keep the D-Reaper distracted long enough.
D-Reaper goes flying right up and blasts several a barrage of ki-blasts. The bio-merged megas were fighting their way through the deadly barrage. Gallantmon pulls out his sabers and started to slice his way through the barrage, while Sakuyamon did the same with her now extracted staff.
"Quo Vadi!" exclaimed Gallantmon.
"Spirit Strike!"
The crimson knight shot out a powerful beam that was sent hurtling towards the D-Reaper and it struck her dead on into her chest. Several fox spirits that started burning their way through her body then caught d-Reaper. The D-Reaper screamed out with murderous rage and shot out an aura of bright light that managed to push away the attacks.
D-Reaper makes her way over towards the two warriors and knees them both at the very same time. D-Reaper then turns and executes a spinning back kick that sent Gallantmon crashing down into the ground. She follows it up with a elbow strike to the side of Sakuyamon's head, which managed to send her hurtling down where Gallantmon was laying.
"Got to help… I must try to stop the D-Reaper myself," Beelzebumon said under his breath.
"I'll stop her. The D-Reaper can't be allowed to win," Metalla X replied as he struggled.
"Leave that bitch to me…" Mystic Celesta muttered. "I owe her…"
Now Omega X was growing desperate and was starting to get angry over the fact that the digimon of the newer digital world were much to stubborn to even listen to his or Metalla X's pleas.
"You idiots! Why don't you even help me! I need your energy to power up the Cosmic Terra Force! Do you all want to die again!"
Mummymon had heard enough of his outcries and was sick of the digimon that weren't even cooperating. He quickly sat up and calls right out towards the skies.
"Damn it! You moronic digimon better listen! It's me, Mummymon! I am asking from you the energy I need!"
The digimon were quickly beginning to realize that person speaking to them was none other than their hero, Mummymon. Their very own hero was in midst of the battle as well. They were now beginning to assume that Mummymon was battling the D-Reaper himself.
"You damn well better hurry up and help this warrior! It's been him and I that have been doing all of the hard work! Now when he asks of you to contribute your energy, you better do it. Because I said so!"
The digimon were quickly now having second thoughts and were now beginning to contribute their energy into the skies above and were sending it back towards Shintomon's planet, where it would soon be gathered within the Cosmic Terra Force.
Omega X looks right down at Mummymon with a look of shock but then a smile comes across his face.
"Thank you, Mummymon. I owe you big time. Good once I finish, Takato and I will switch places."
D-Reaper starts slamming Gallantmon down onto the ground with tremendous force, and started pummeling him down. Sakuyamon tried saving him, but was smacked away by a right hand from D-Reaper. Beelzebumon went for a spinning back kick, which D-reaper was able to duck under. She started rolling down on the ground and somersaults over Beelzebumon, dropkicking him right in the face.
Suddenly, a lion-faced blast nailed D-Reaper from behind. This barely phased the demon as she turned to face none other than Cyberleomon.
"Leomon! What are you doing!" Gallantmon asked.
"You don't expect me to sit out from this fight, do you?"
"Yay! It's Leomon, Jeri! It's Leomon! He's come to save the day!"
"Nail it to her, Leomon! Don't let her off you're sight!"
"Jeri! It's good to know you're doing well. Pikkan, I thank you for looking out for her."
"Hey, I don't normally baby-sit but I owed her. Now let's clean this bitch's clock."
"Agreed."
D-Reaper screams out ferociously, which sent a sonic wave towards Cyberleomon and Pikkan. The duo jumps away and fired a double blast.
"YOU CAN'T KILL ME! I AM CHAOS!"
"What you are is a pile of Jello crap," a fused voice calls out.
D-Reaper turns as Mystic Celesta and War Dramon meet her with a double clothesline. The D-Reaper is sent skidding across the dirt. Mystic Celesta falls to her knees with her arm around her shoulder.
"Are you going to be okay?" War Dramon asked.
"My neck is giving out on me…"
"Shit, we don't have time for that. We have to stay alive until the Cosmic Terra Force is complete! Hurry it up, Tai!"
Metalla X watched on and was looking rather lifeless as far as making any movements was concerned. He weakly goes looking right back up at Omega X, who was now holding up a Cosmic Terra Force that was beginning to swell bigger and bigger after every second that passed by. The warrior of courage started to smile painfully. The people and digimon of the three worlds were continuing to give their energy enthusiastically after Mummymon's pep talk.
Now there were spheres of glowing white energy all starting to flow together around Omega X's Cosmic Terra Force. The warrior looks on with astonishment and a confident smirk forms across his face.
"It's almost done! I've got it!"
Just as the large energy ball was nearly being completed, Omega X looks right back down at the battle ensuing as D-Reaper has basically taken out every warrior that had gone against her.
"C'mon guys. You just have to hold out a little while longer. These last few seconds are very important as far as completing the attack. If I happen to make one mistake, then we are all screwed…"
D-Reaper kicks and sends Gallantmon flying back. Sakuyamon falls down onto the ground. Beelzebumon wasn't looking too good either and he had lost consciousness. Metalla X was barely even able to stand. D-reaper laughs maniacally as she stood over the four fallen warriors. She then turns her attention back over to the hovering Omega X and his Cosmic Terra Force.
"Damn! Takato isn't going to be in any condition to use the Cosmic Terra Force! If only it were finished by now…"
"One Vision" plays
Just as Omega X was about to think that his time was up, a new surge of energy flows right into the massive Cosmic Terra Force, making it grow even bigger. It was now enormous and many times bigger than Omega X was. It was at least the size of the sphere that D-Reaper produced to annihilate the Digital World. D-reaper looks up and notices it. Soon, an expression of fear was starting to come across her face and D-Reaper was slowly starting to back away.
"You guys! You better get the hell out of the way! This is it! The Terra Force heard around the universe! D-Reaper, this spells the end for you! Ok this is it. Takato! Can you hear me!"
"Loud and clear. I'm getting my butt kicked out here!"
"Ha. You're holding her off really good, kid. Listen up, it's time to make the switch."
"Now?"
"No, Christmas. Of course now! I've got the ball ready! You've got to use it! Hang on, here I come!"
With that said, Omega X uses his Time Warp to phase out and teleports straight down to Gallantmon. D-Reaper prepares to knock the crimson knight with a right hand, but Omega X saves Gallantmon in the nick of time. The two teleport out and up towards the colossal sphere. Gallantmon levitates under the sphere and holds out his arms. The crimson knight was astounded by the amount of energy he was sensing from the sphere. It was all pure good from every soul throughout the Digital Worlds, not to mention from Earth.
"Wow! This is so incredible! I can feel everyone's hopes and dreams in this sphere!"
"Listen carefully, Takato. This force is pure good and will only kill those with malice in their hearts. Therefore, don't think any hateful thoughts or the sphere will take you're life away as well. You've got to throw it at the D-Reaper and keep those thoughts positive. Got it?"
"You bet! I won't let you down!"
"I'll take you're place! Good luck!"
"Man! This one's all in my hands now," Gallantmon thought.
D-Reaper stared in utter horror at the apocalyptic energy ball that Gallantmon was about to hurl at her. She could feel its presence and couldn't believe that it was all coming from the single massive itelf. This was everyone's energy put forth to create this sphere of purity. Gallantmon was preparing to launch out Omega X's patent technique taught to the warrior by X.
("One Vision" ends)
Metalla X managed to get up onto his two feet and struggled to get up, as did Beelzebumon and Sakuyamon. However, it was their injuries that were holding them back. Omega X lands in front of them.
"Tai! Wait!" Gallantmon calls out.
"Takato! Don't worry about us!" replied Omega X, "This is your chance! Don't hold anything back against this demon of destruction!"
"You heard him! Don't hold back! We'll even sacrifice ourselves along with the blast," Sakuyamon replied, "We'll die together if that happens."
"What are you waiting for? A written invitation! Thrown the damned thing," Beelzebumon cried out.
"Do it, Takato. This is your chance. The fate of the very digital universe rests on your shoulders now. We've all failed, now it's up to you. The three worlds are watching this as we speak."
"You can do it, Takato!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
"Nail that bitch!" War Dramon exclaimed.
"I've got to hand it to these humans. They're very emotional in these drastic situations," Pikkan said.
"Well, Mummymon. You've really outdone yourself this time," Black Gatomon replied, "Anything to say?"
"Um, yeah. I'll never try that again."
"Come on. When this is over, you and that guy are going to be considered heroes! Just think of all the fame and fortune you will get!"
Mummymon quickly sat up and had dollar signs in his eyes and started jumping around for joy.
"Your right! I can see all of these zeroes counting in my head and I know for sure that Arukenimon will finally admit her love for me!"
"Whatever you say, lover boy. Take a look! That guy is about to finish Dee once and for all. This is it, my friend. No holding back. Even though I liked Dee when she was an innocent little girl, I want that guy to end this nightmare once and for all."
"Ditto here! But you really got to admit, if it wasn't for me pulling off that pep talk to those stubborn digimon, then that those guys wouldn't be at the position that they are in now. So, I'm partially responsible for this."
(Kid Buu's English theme plays)
D-Reaper looks back over towards the dilemma occurring from the four warriors. A malevolent grin forms across her face as she goes walking over towards them. She then stomps onto Metalla X's back, and starts taunting the ever-angry Gallantmon.
"No! She's holding down Matt!" Gallantmon cries out.
"Shit! This is the last thing we needed!" Omega X replied.
(Kid Buu's English theme ends)
Original Digital World
Shintomon, Mimi and Gosenzomon were watching on concern. Neither one of them were unable to make up a decision as far as making a request was concerned. Mimi was totally clueless and was continuing to think as soon as possible.
Digital Limbo
The villains were looking on with great astonishment and were starting to cheer for the D-Reaper. Every one of them held up their fists in triumphant, which even included Devimon, Virus, Burizalor, Dark Magimon, Makuramon, Metal Etemon, the Demon Corps, and many others.
"Ha! Just look at that pathetic digimon! He's wasting his efforts! It will only be a matter of time, guys. It will be just a matter of time before he dies and we have our vengeance upon him," Burizalor said in amusement. "I can't wait for Taichi and his friends to fry!
"You know what? I think I'm having second thoughts on this battle. Yes. Go, D-Reaper! Finish that warrior off! Show us what you're truly capable of! Make me proud!"
The entire villain group was looking on with disbelief at Dark Magimon's sudden change of heart and shrugged their shoulders. They turned their attention back over to the crystal ball and began to cheer for the death of Tai Kamiya, Takato Matsuki, the Digi-Destined and the Tamers.
"C'mon, guys! You can pull this one off!" Black War Greymon muttered. "Finish that demented bitch off!"
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Metalla X was lying on the ground, as were Sakuyamon, Omega X and Beelzebumon. Metalla X goes sitting up and shouts out over to Gallantmon.
"Takato! Remember! You're a digital warrior! This you're chance to save the digital universe! Don't hold back on this heartless monster! It craves nothing more than the destruction of the digital race and the end of mankind as we speak! Don't even hold back! You are Tai and Kari's pupil! The fate lies in you're hands!"
"But… I can't! I can't bring myself in destroying the D-Reaper along with you guys! I just can't do it! You guys have families and friends out there!"
"Takato, what about your family? Rika, ever thought about your mother and grandmother! What about Beelzebumon and his Tamers? What about Matt, Mimi and Dimitri! You need to wake up! You got people out there that care for you! This creature has no remorse! If you let her go, she will continue to destroy everything in her path! Remember when I said that when comes death comes resurrection? That's not the case for D-Reaper! This is the final shot to putting her away! She represents evil! This sphere is everything with pure good! You must use it, Takato! Do it now! Throw it!"
After Omega X's overwhelming plea to Gallantmon, D-Reaper stakes advantage of this hesitation and throws a ki-blast right at Gallantmon. The mega had no choice and allows the blast to nail him. Gallantmon seethes in pain and started looking right down at the D-Reaper with hatred oozing down from his face. D-Reaper smiled and then starts firing away a barrage of blasts at him.
"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!"
Even while holding the massive Cosmic Terra Force, Gallantmon allowed each of the blasts to nail him repeatedly and it didn't do him any favors whatsoever. He was completely defenseless against the barrage being fired away at him.
"Damn you, D-Reaper! You better cut that out!" Mummymon cried out, "I'm so sick of this nonsense! You were such a nice little girl, but as far as our friendship goes! It's over! Do you hear me! OVER!"
Omega X rises to his feet as he goes charging right for the D-Reaper and readies his Terra Beam. Gallantmon takes notice and starts to sigh a relief.
"Here we go, D-Reaper! It's the rematch! Let's dance!"
D-Reaper turns around and she quickly goes flying right at Omega X and starts firing away a barrage of ki-blasts at the warrior. This would allow Gallantmon more time to deeply concentrate on the energy ball's mobility. He wanted to make use that it would make perfect collision with the D-Reaper. This was all or nothing for the crimson knight.
D-Reaper quickly delivers an elbow shot that sent Omega X sliding out through the landscape with tremendous force. The warrior was down and unable to even get up in time to recover.
"Takato! Do it now!"
"You heard him! Throw the damn ball now!" Sakuyamon cried out, under Rika's voice.
"Hang on! I'm coming, Tai!" Mystic Celesta cries out
The angelic warrior starts crawling over towards her fallen brother with every ounce of strength she had left in her body.
"Just on in there. Don't give out on me, Tai."
"Kari. You're neck…"
"I'll be fine… I've been through worse situations than this…"
"Heh, I kind of figured that…"
"C'mon, Takato… Throw it…"
D-Reaper manages to resume her assault on Gallantmon and began firing away a barrage of ki-blasts at the crimson knight. She started laughing maniacally as Gallantmon cried out from every shot he was taking. D-Reaper pauses for a moment as she created a larger sphere of ki, which was about the size of her entire body in diameter. She then wrenches back and tosses it right towards Gallantmon. The warrior managed to evade it just in time, but D-Reaper creates another one.
"THIS TIME YOU DON'T MOVE! YOU DIE!"
"No. I don't think I'm going to survive much longer than this. If D-Reaper keeps it up at this very rate, then I'm definitely a goner. I better not let my guard down! I have not choice but to simply destroy this monster once and for all! I'm very sorry guys…"
As soon as he said that, Gallantmon prepares to throw the Cosmic Terra Force. D-Reaper saw it coming and throws her own ball of energy. But just as she was about to release it, Beelzebumon spears her from out of nowhere and knocks the D-Reaper over. D-Reaper's blast eventually goes off course and quickly demolishes several canyons in the distance. War Dramon then comes from out of nowhere and pushes Sakuyamon away. Cyberleomon runs over to snatch Mega Gargomon and Rosemon away. Pikkan and Garudamon helped gather Jeri and Calumon away from the battlefield. Beelzebumon held down D-Reaper as he motions right over towards Mummymon.
"Hey you! I need you're help! I want you to move Metalla X away form the blast! Do it now!"
Mummymon looks right over towards Metalla X, who was lying down on the ground. He then looks over to Black Gatomon, who gave him the thumbs up. Mummymon gulps and goes running over to Metalla X's side. With one quick breathe of relief, he picks up the fallen warrior and carries him out of the way. Mummymon goes running back towards Black Gatomon with Metalla X still in his arms.
"I must say. Great show, Mummymon."
"Um, thanks. But I could have done that much earlier."
"Whatever, you keep telling yourself that, Mummymon. Hey check it out!"
"What!"
Black Gatomon points right back towards the battlefield, where Beelzebumon has D-Reaper immobilized at the very moment and Gallantmon is still holding out the Cosmic Terra Force at the palm of his hands.
D-Reaper growled angrily and sends out a blast that manages to push Beelzebumon right off of her. She goes and stands right back up with a rather annoyed looks on her face. The look of annoyance turns into that of pure hatred and rage.
"THAT'S IT! NOW YOU ALL DIE! AND THAT'S A PROMISE! PREPARE TO DIE AND BECOME APART OF MY ULTIMARE PERFECTION!"
"Sir Lancelot! Don't hold back! Kill that heartless monster! She has no conscience and she will never have what you possess and that's the heart to protect the innocent!" exclaimed Mummymon, "You have the power! It's time to use it!"
Omega X replies to the digimon's cries and a smile formed across his face.
"I admire your courage, Mummymon. Kind of reminded me of myself back in the good ol' days. You truly are the digital world's savior. You heard the mummy man, Takato! Throw it now!"
With that said, Gallantmon shouts out and finally throws the massive sphere of energy down at the D-Reaper with all of his mighty and every ounce of strength left in his body. D-Reaper starts screaming and panicking at the sight of the massive ball coming right towards her. She goes and shoots out a deletion beam right at the approaching ball, but it does nothing to slow it down.
But to everyone's surprise, D-Reaper manages to strain against it with all of her remaining power. She was some how able to halt the gigantic Cosmic Terra Force's advance. She managed to hold it at a stand still on the ground. Gallantmon strains against it as well and uses his energy to push on it from above. Now they were in the final strength of battle. Only one of them will determine the fate of the digital universe. Either D-Reaper's destruction continues, or Gallantmon's wish of peace will come forth after all.
"Kari! I've got an idea! Listen! You still have you're Omega Blade?"
"Yeah… Why?"
"I overheard Gosenzomon saying that the Omega Blade had enough energy to hold down the mightiest of creatures in the universe. I think it's possible to use it against the D-Reaper."
"Ok, just tell me what to do…"
"You, Matt and I are going to go out to pin D-Reaper down long enough for Takato to deliver the final blow."
"How will we move away in time? We'll get engulfed by the sphere!"
"No, as long as we maintain pure good within our hearts, we'll be safe."
"We can't say the same for Matt."
"Shit you're right… We'll use my Time Warp. C'mon! There's no time to waste. Let's put that sword to good use!"
"Right!"
With that said, Mystic Celesta pulls out her Omega Blade and holds it tightly within her grasp. Omega X nods over to Metalla X.
"I've got a plan, Matt. So listen up."
Planet Tunip
X and Buddamon were quickly able to sense two of the strongest kis that they have ever felt. Soon, everyone of the digimon was beginning to feel the powerful presence of both Gallantmon and the D-Reaper.
"This is incredible!" exclaimed X.
"I thought I would never have felt this much power before! They are two of the strongest fighters through the digital universe as we speak! Only one of them will determine our fate," Buddamon replied.
"C'mon, Takato! You can do it!" Sora cried out, "Please! I implore you!"
Sora holds out her digivice and it started to glow with energy. Soon, every one of the Tamers and Digi-Destined followed in suit. X releases his portion of his own energy.
"This ones for you, Takato! You are Tai and Kari's pupil!"
One by one, each of the Digi-Destined used their respective D-3's, digivices and D-Arks to give more power to Gallantmon and his Cosmic Terra Force attack. Each of their digimon started to fire away to continue to add more energy into the ever-growing ball of energy.
"Thunder Clap!" Justimon cried out.
"Harmonious Spirit!"
"Static Force!"
"Spiking Strike!"
"Guardian Barrage!"
"Kahuna Waves!"
"Bunny Blades!"
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Horn Buster!"
To add a little bit more firepower, Sonja fires away a massive blast to put more power into the Cosmic Terra Force.
"With you out of the way D-Reaper, my reemergence will soon be eminent," a dark voice within Justimon's head said in thought.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Calumon watched on and the red-diamond symbol started to glow. He then sent a beam of energy that followed with the other streams of light in suit.
"Crystal matrix power, please allow the warrior known as Gallantmon the strength and power to defeat the wave of destruction known as the D-Reaper. Hear my call and give Gallantmon the strength that he needs!"
"You can do it, Calumon!" Jeri cries out.
"Calumon!" Pikkan said. "That's the way little guy!"
Calumon sends out a massive red beam of energy back over to the combined beams of light that was forming into a massive energy ball. Calumon flies over and then directs it towards the skies from above. With one push, the ball of energy disappeared. Calumon sighed a relief and looks on from the skies with a smile across his face.
The struggle was still continuing on and things were at an even plane field between the D-Reaper and Gallantmon. D-Reaper continued to push against the Cosmic Terra Force from the ground, while trying to hold it off just as Gallantmon was trying to push it back from above. It began to move backwards a little as D-Reaper's power increases greatly, but Gallantmon was determined not to lose.
"No! I shall not lose to the likes of you, D-Reaper! You're time of terrorizing dimensions are over! You won't be able to delete this! As proven from the look of fear across your face, I am determined to end you and DEFEAT YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME!"
"Negative… YOU SHALL BE DEAD! NOW DIE ALREADY!"
Then, each of the warriors on the battlefield cried out and shot out their best attacks to add more energy into the massive sphere growing by every second.
"Chaos Flare!" Beelzebumon shouted.
"Terra Beam!" Omega X cries out.
"Talisman Sphere!" cried out Sakuyamon.
"Holy Beam!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"Thunder Flash Attack!"
"Positron Kamikaze Blast!" War Dramon calls out with this new attack as a blast of massive energy fills the heavens.
"Wing Blade!"
"Thorn Whip!"
"Fist of the Beast King!" Cyberleomon calls out while using his champion level's most powerful technique.
"Ice Barrier Beam!" Metalla X barely managed to shot out as his last source of energy.
Even Mummymon shouted an attack out of his own.
"Snake Bandage!"
With that adrenaline rush being added to his momentum, Gallantmon pushes the massive sphere towards the monster's direction.
Planet Tunip
The group was looking on with great astonishment. The digimon were at a loss for words, but X knew something was wrong.
"Have you noticed it, X?" Buddamon asked.
"Yes."
"What is it, X? You should be happy! Takato is going to save the day," Justimon said.
"Not unless he's in trouble."
The group all turned to face X with shocked gasps and confused looks across their faces.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!" Mr. Wong demanded.
"For starters, Gallantmon's ki feels very weak at this crucial moment," X replied, "Remember he was drained of his energy during his battle with the D-Reaper earlier on."
"And to add with that, he's putting too much energy into the damned thing! He's going to end up getting himself killed!" Buddamon exclaimed.
"No! Takato! You have to hold on just a little while longer!" cried out Sora, "We just sent more energy and it's going to be channeled into your ball of energy!"
"But even if that worked, it still won't save him," Yolei said, "Think about it. He's losing energy just by holding that sphere. If he keeps this up any longer, he's going to die."
"She's right whether you like it or not. Unless there's some slight miracle that Takato manages to hold onto the last of his life energy, then there's no chance of him ever surviving," said Buddamon, "I'm sorry…"
"No! Takato! You can't die! I can't even take it! You're my fiancée's pupil! Takato, please!" Sora cried out, "Tai and Kari molded you into their next best thing!"
The group overheard the red-haired woman's pleas and started to woe. They couldn't decide to praise for Takato or to cry for his death. It was either way. This only depended on the condition of Takato and his last remaining life essence. There wasn't much left for Gallantmon, but this was his chance to save the entire digital universe. He'll be praised, whether he is dead or alive.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Metalla X recovers form slight unconsciousness after listening to Omega X's plan. The warrior of friendship looks up towards the heavens. He goes screaming out towards Gallantmon with encouragement.
"Takato Matsuki! You're not getting any stronger!"
But, just as he said that, Metalla X was quickly able to realize the problem with Gallantmon.
"Omega X had put too much energy into that Cosmic Terra Force attack, but he didn't count on Gallantmon to have enough strength left to push it. This sucks! His mobility has been cut off! I should have seen this one coming!"
But just as Gallantmon was trying with all of his might to push it back, the D-Reaper took advantage of the situation and the favor was seemingly returning back to her favor.
Omega X and Mystic Celesta turned toward each other nodding in reply. They had a plan, which might help Gallantmon in the long run.
Original Digital World
Shintomon, Gosenzomon and Mimi were now starting to worry that the ball may not be powerful enough. Mimi was still thinking about her third decision to make that would become a great help in the course of the battle itself.
Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
D-Reaper is straining against the giant white, sphere and starts pushing it slowly across the ground, tearing the earth of the planet around it. The landscape was now coming completely devastated as a result and the once lush planet was now a fallen, dead planet with no life teeming on it with the exception of the fighters involved.
Metalla X watches on helplessly and then goes shouting out to Mimi through telepathically. The woman was caught completely off guard as her fiancée started to speak up through her mentally.
"Mimi! I got a third request to make and we sure can really need it right about now!"
"Well its about time! So, what do you want me to request? But make it snappy, I think the guardians are losing their patience…"
"For my third and last request… I want you to grant everyone's ki to be raised into new heights of power! Gallantmon's struggling and will die if he puts too much energy. But if we give him back his full power and health, there will be a chance for him to survive! Not to mention that Tai, Kari and myself will lend Takato a hand!"
"Ingenious, Matt! All right! Let's do this!"
"Thanks, Mimi. I owe you big time. Tai and Takato will be very grateful for this…"
"No problem."
"Hey, Mummymon! I want you to encourage the digimon to bring forth more power to Gallantmon, in order to fully power up his Cosmic Terra Force."
"That won't work, Matt,"Gennai replied. "Everyone one of them haven't recovered from giving up their energy, and if anymore if taken from them, they could die."
"But Gennai! If D-Reaper isn't destroyed, they'll be killed anyway," retorted Metalla X, "Ugh! Mummymon! I want you to call forth those digimon and command them to bring forth more power at once!"
"Well, looks like I have no chance," Mummymon said, "All right here goes nothing…"
Back on the battlefield, the D-Reaper has now pushed the Cosmic Terra Force completely off of the ground and it's rising up towards Gallantmon. The warrior looks on with great shock and disbelief. Soon his fate was going to be sealed.
"Digimon! I call forth for you to contr-"
But just as Mummymon was about to finish his sentence, he was completely cut off by Gennai, who spoke up.
"Don't even try! They're dying from giving up too much energy as we speak! Do not call forth upon their power!"
Mummymon falls back down on his knees and starts covering his head with a single tear coming down his face.
"Am I still dreaming! I want my mommy. Please tell me that I'm just dreaming! This is just a wacky dream!"
D-Reaper continues to push the energy ball up forward and up towards Gallantmon, forcing the fusion warrior backwards. Mummymon was still crying and the situation was soon becoming bleak. Metalla X goes rushing towards Mummymon and grabs him up by his collared coat. An angry look came across Metalla X's face as he began to speak out.
"We can just use the digicores to revive all those dead! Our digicores have gotten stronger since then! Don't you understand!"
"Yes, sir! No, sir!" Mummymon replied as he was gagging out for air.
Just then, Metalla X had just remembered that final request he made and then he turns his attention back to the skies to send Mimi another telepathic message.
"Mimi! It's time to grant that request! Let our wish come true!"
Original Digital World
Mimi nods and then anxiously looks back over to the digicores. She then spoke out to have the final request granted.
"Here's my final request, digicores! I want you to restore everyone's health and strength on the battlefield back to their full power! Are you able to do so?"
With that said, the digicores responded by glowing with a neon-green flare and the request was granted as a result. Mimi started to scream out in excitement as she grabs both Gosenzomon and Shintomon by giving them hugs.
"We did it! We did it! We did it!"
"Ack! You're choking me, Mimi!" Shintomon cried out.
"Ooo, yeah! Show me some love, baby!" Gosenzomon exclaimed.
Mimi responded by slapping a good one across the face of Gosenzomon. She then turns her back on him.
"Sorry, but I already got a man. He's the one named Metalla X. My Yama!"
Gosenzomon then responded by falling back with a bump forming at the side of his head. Mimi and Shintomon turn their attention back to the crystal ball and were looking on with great anticipation. They wanted to be sure if the wish had come into fruition as far as more power given to Gallantmon goes.
Shintomon's Sacred Sancutary
Back on the dead planet, D-Reaper continues to push the Cosmic Terra Force across the ground, and Gallantmon finally lets his hands drop at his sides, exhausted and unable to push it back anymore.
"I'm sorry… I have failed you all…"
D-Reaper then triumphantly slams it forward with another burst of energy. Gallantmon watched as the energy ball was coming forth and he see flashbacks of his entire life appearing before his very own eyes. But just as he was realizing his death was at hand, a very familiar voice had called out to him telepathically. It was none other than Sora.
"Takato! This is Sora!" the young woman echoes out. "The digicores is restoring your health as we speak! Plus there's another wave of energy heading your way. The last of our power and something needed for the Cosmic Terra Force. Good luck, kid. Tell Tai that I send him my love."
"I will, Sora. This one's for everyone!"
Chad Kroeger's "Hero" plays
With that said, Gallantmon felt all of his ki returning back to him within a matter of moments and quickly ascended into his second level form. A crimson aura flared all over his body and his eyes were now a glowing a pure neon-green color. He quickly stops the advance of the Cosmic Terra Force and pushes it right back down at the D-Reaper. The monster panics again as it approaches her.
Everyone watching, including the other Digi-Destined, the Tamers, and everyone across the three worlds, were looking on with great delight at the turn of events. Now the balance of power had shifted to the side of good.
"All right, guys! It's our move!" Omega X cries out.
"Right!" Mystic Celesta responded.
Digital Limbo
However, everyone down in digital limbo was all in despair. Burizalor growled under his breath and looked rather bitter at the moment, as were the other defeated villains.
"Feh. I knew some crap like this would happen," muttered Burizalor. "This sucks. We're watching rugby!"
Dark Magimon was down on the ground, began lamenting and pounds his fists in a raging fit.
"No! It's not fair! It's not fair! No!"
Planet Shin
D-Reaper was beginning to strain against the massive Cosmic Terra Force attack. Her feet were now starting to break down into the ground and she quickly realized that the end was coming for her. She looks right through the massive energy ball of doom and saw Gallantmon holding out the palm of his hand. She blinked and was looking on with a defeated look across her face.
Suddenly, D-Reaper's eyes gasp as Omega X, Metalla X and Mystic Celesta appeared at different angles. Omega X cries out and forms a cross-like symbol behind the D-Reaper. Metalla X forms energy rings and uses them to pin the D-Reaper against the cross. D-Reaper screams out as she attempts to break free until Mystic Celesta hovers above her.
"NOO! YOU WON'T KILL ME! YOU WON'T! I AM A GOD!"
"GO TO HELL, D-REAPER!"
With that said, Mystic Celesta uses her Omega Blade and stabs it through D-Reaper's head. The sword's blade slices it's way through D-Reaper's head and splits it open to reveal the Kernal Sphere. The D-Reaper had absorbed this sphere in order to give her that boost of energy, but now her power source was cracked open. D-Reaper was losing power by a tenth of a second.
"Go for it, Takato!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"This is you're shot! Don't hold back! Let it go!" exclaimed Omega X.
Gallantmon looks right down and a grin forms under his mouthpiece. Omega X looks on as his pupil prepares to finish the destructive program.
"You were such a great opponent, D-Reaper…" Omega X muttered. "Now you meet you're fate at the hands of my greatest pupil."
The fusion warrior continues to ramble on as D-Reaper started seeing her entire life before her very own eyes.
Flashbacks
"I'll remember you being the gentle little girl when I first faced you… You were a great opponent and pushed me to new limits when I faced you in my third level form."
Everyone stares over in complete shock at the form of the D-Reaper. Dark Magimon and King Devimon look on with surprise, while the others look on with fear. The D-Reaper sits right up and looks across its surroundings. The D-Reaper looks like an eight-year old girl but stood about six feet tall plus seven inches. It has red skin, long pink hair, and purple colored eyes with red tints in them. It has two ponytails on the right side of its head. It had yellow gloves, a pair of tennis shoes and a Japanese school uniform on.
"But I soon realized that you weren't always innocent-looking, you had your own evil incarnate. Which was waiting to be released for a very long time. I anticipated that very moment."
The new creature stood before the D-Reaper, it had a dull gray-brown skin color and a very thin body. It also had the same attire that the D-Reaper had on. But instead of having that of a cute little girl's face, this one was ugly and looked more like a witch. D-Reaper looks forwards and was gazing up none other than the evil manifestation form of her evilness. All of that rage and hatred had created this new creature, the evil corrupted form of the D-Reaper.
"Eventually, your two sides merged together to become the evil D-Reaper that first emerged and started a wave of destruction. No longer were you the jolly and innocent little girl."
The evil one started to take shape with the D-Reaper within her body. D-Reaper's metamorphosis was now beginning to take place. Suddenly, there was red steam coming out from her head and arms, creating a thick cloud surrounding her. As soon as it dissipates, a new D-Reaper was formed. But this one was pure evil with no traces of innocence on the outside. She almost looks like the combination of the two D-Reapers. Only this time, the feature of the single being was different.
The body of the D-Reaper had a rather muscular appearance. Her skin was still red much like the D-Reaper. Her eyes were still glowing a misty, purple glow. But now her gloves and her school skirt was now replaced by armored tank top and a pair of pants with a belt-buckle reading with the 'D' insignia on the center.
"Eventually, you changed forms once you absorbed War Dramon, Buddamon and Mystic Celesta."
Just as War Dramon and Buddamon were about to follow him off, a glob of red chaos came out of nowhere and it started to engulf both of them warriors. Mystic Celesta turns and gasps in surprise at what she was looking at.
The two globs that covered both War Dramon and Buddamon came bouncing away and attached themselves onto the D-Reaper. Mystic Celesta stopped at her tracks as the D-Reaper absorbed the warrior-contained globs and witnessed the D-Reaper making some sort of weird metamorphosis.
As soon as the D-Reaper starts to reform, her body was quickly changing. She became a little more muscular and there was now a golden armor chest plate covering her upper torso, which looked like Sakuyamon's armor. Her face became a little more like Rika's and her hair started to flow out really long and loose like that of. Then a pair of gloves and boots formed.
Mystic Celesta quickly turns around as the chaos mass starts to expand in size and engulfs her from within. The angelic warrior tries to struggle to break free but to no avail. Much like War Dramon and Buddamon before her, Mystic Celesta was now a floating blob mass and he was then levitated over towards the D-Reaper.
Omega X tried to stop the blob mass, but it was too late. He watched in horror as D-Reaper absorbed the blob mass containing Mystic Celesta and watched as it attached itself onto her body.
Omega X goes and picks up the earring that Mystic Celesta dropped and then turned to witness the new transformation of the D-Reaper. Now hovering from above the D-Reaper develops a garment outfit similar to Mystic Celesta's and a powerful, black aura covering her body.
"Eventually, we battled you as Kaiser X. Then, we had a plan to enter inside of your body and rescue our friends. Then it almost went exactly according to plan, until we realized that your real form was able to emerge from those years of hiding. You finally revealed your final form."
The monster continues her transformation. Her bulky muscles seem to be disappearing and she was transforming into what looked like a teenage-girl.
The new form of D-Reaper was much smaller and younger-looking, with shorter hair. She looked exactly like her first evil form with the pants and the tank top.
"But now, here we are. This very moment… You're presence is about to be wiped out clean as you would say. Get prepared to witness yourself become deleted, D-Reaper."
End of Flashback
D-Reaper gave one more blink as the massive energy ball was still pushing her back and all of her memories had started to come back before her very own eyes. Gallantmon was preparing to deliver the final push to end D-Reaper's reign of terror. Looking on from another angle, Omega X smiles and gives one final salute to the demon of destruction.
"I want you to be reborn as a good-hearted person, because I would definitely like to fight you again," Omega X replied. "I'll be waiting for you, D-Reaper! Let you be reincarnated as a pure-hearted person!"
With that one final salute by Omega X, Gallantmon pushes the massive ball of energy. This time D-Reaper was unable to move since she was now pinned down to a cross-shaped energy field and the Omega Blade stabbed through her cranium.
"Takato!" exclaimed Sakuyamon.
"Takato! Don't give up!" Sora cried out.
"You can do it, Takato!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"Takato!" Gosenzomon, Mimi and Shintomon exclaimed.
"Takato!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
"Takato!" shouted X.
Everyone else started to cry out with self-confidence and started to cheer for Takato.
"TAKATO! THROW IT!"
After hearing the cries of his friends and fellow Digi-Destined/Tamers calling out to him, Gallantmon cries out and pushes more energy into the Cosmic Terra Force and the energy that the group sent off was absorbed into the massive energy ball. He then gives a final push to the giant sphere of energy a final push. It quickly manages to overwhelm the D-Reaper, who cries out as she finally began to disintegrate.
"NOOOO! AURG!"
The D-Reaper was now disintegrated for the last time. Her fate was now forever sealed. The sphere of energy continues plowing through the surface of the planet and destroys the Kernal sphere along with it. All there was left was a deep groove embedded into the ground itself.
(End theme)
Gallantmon drops back down to the ground and powers out of his mega form. He de-digivolves back into his two separate entities, Takato and Guilmon. He goes sinking towards the ground. Omega X manages to fly up to catch the two and prevent them from falling. Metalla X also collapses with an exhausted look on his face. Mystic Celesta, War Dramon, Sakuyamon, Pikkan and everyone else also limped over towards the heroes. Omega X held both Takato and Guilmon in his arms.
"Takato Matsuki. You're officially a hero…"
"We're so proud of you, Takato," said Mystic Celesta.
Omega X and Metalla X gave each other a thumbs up. Takato wakes up with a grin. He looks up to Omega X and gives a thumbs up.
"Thanks, Tai. I couldn't have done it with you."
"Likewise, kid. Here's one back to you."
Omega X returns a thumbs up to the new hero of the day. He places both Takato and Guilmon down after perhaps the most difficult battle known to date. D-Reaper is finally put to rest after many millions of millennia.
At last! It is finally over! The nightmare threat known as D-Reaper has been defeated! The powerful D-Reaper, destroyer of billions, has now been defeated at the hands of the heroic Takato Matsuki and everyone that stood by him in support. Thank you, Takato. Thank you, Taichi. Thank you, Hikari. Thank everyone who participated in helping these heroes against the destructive D-Reaper. Now, the dawning of a new era shall begin as peace and harmony returns to the two universes."
Worldwide View
The chaos mass that had appeared throughout the planet was now starting to disappear since the physical form of D-Reaper was destroyed. The nightmare has finally ended in the real world.
Planet Tunip
Yamaki looks on through Gosenzomon's orb. The government official took his shades off and formed a slight grin on his face. What he called a 'hellish nightmare' has finally been laid to rest.
"The nightmare has finally ended. It still seems strange that a misguided program could cause so much damage, believing it was doing the right thing. Maybe we have more in common with the D-Reaper than we like to believe. But today, we won by working coming together. Which makes me believe there's hope for us, all of us."

The Age of Peace and Restoration! Who is this Mysterious Girl!
Original Digital World
A celebration took place as Mimi, Shintomon and Gosenzomon took place as they clapped and cheered like never before. They can now finally say that peace has finally returned to the digital universe. The threat known as D-Reaper has been laid to rest.
"My friends," Azulongmon said, "I can no longer sense D-Reaper's ki. I'm happy to announce that the D-Reaper is no more."
The three other guardians each sighed in relief, at the sound of the great news concerning the D-Reaper.
"Matt, we did it! I can't believe we actually won," Mimi said, "We'll I'll be darned."
"C'mon, Mimi! We should get heading back. There's going to be a huge celebration for this!" Shintomon exclaimed.
"Yeah. Lets go. Thank for letting us use the digicores, again!" Mimi cried out as she watched the digicores floating right back towards Azulongmon and the other four guardians.
"Lets go. I really don't want to upset Azulongmon with my presence," Gosenzomon said.
"Why do you want to leave so soon?" Mimi asked.
"Long story. He's always too serious. Lets go."
With that said, Shintomon teleported himself and his two comrades out from the holy grounds of the four guardians.
Planet Tunip
The group was also overjoyed at the sound of the good news. The Digi-Destined celebrated with each of their digimon, as did the Tamers.
"So is the D-Reaper really gone?" Riley asked
"Yes, her ki is completely erased. That Cosmic Terra Force really did her in," X stated.
"I can't believe what I'm actually hearing. Did I just hear that peace is going to be restored at last after this many millennia?" asked Buddamon, "Well, Digi-Destined. Tamers. Thank you. We thank you for everything."
"Hey, it was nothing. We were glad to have helped," said Izzy, "Besides, we really learned quite a bit from you're way of life."
"Yeah, but its too bad you're own planet is laid in ruins," Tentomon said, "I hope we can find a way to repay you somehow. We'll even help wax the floors! You don't have charge us!"
"No. It's fine. We can just restore it with our power. You don't have to repay anything in debt."
Just then, Shintomon had returned back with Mimi and Gosenzomon at his side. The others all turned and gathered around the trio.
"You did awesome work, Mimi! I never knew you had that in ya," Joe commented.
"It was nothing. Really. All I did was just help my fiancée and the others. But I guess I was also responsible for D-Reaper's defeat. I guess having both beauty and brains actually helps a lot," she said, "Wait a minute. This was an actual first time I've ever got anything right. Yay! I can now praise myself for the rest of my life!"
"Well, just don't get too carried away," said Yolei.
"Yeah, you'll ruin your reputation that way," Gomamon said.
"Suzie, are you okay?" Lopmon asked.
"Yeah! We're all safe from the D-Weaper!"
"Yep. Momentai," Lopmon replied.
"Dude! Doesn't this like totally rock? Now we can finally go home and say that we actually came out of this alive," Kazu said.
"Looks like we'll be given medals or something. We'll be heroes," Kenta replied.
"Heroes? Yes! We were like true heroes! We'll each get medals and money along with it," Guardromon said, "Oh. How I miss being Andromon by now."
"Don't worry about it. As you're Tamer, I will make sure that your digivolve into ultimate again," said Kazu.
"Perfect! Shall we get started then?"
"Um, sure. If you want to."
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
After such a grueling battle, nearly everyone reverted back into their normal forms. Since his thirty-minute limit was up, War Dramon defused back into Imperialdramon and War Angemon. Then, they dedigivolved back into Veemon and Patamon along with their partners.
Mystic Celesta de-digivovled into her two separate entities: Kari and Gatomon. They managed to maintain such a powerful form over a long period of time. They were exhausted and Kari wasn't looking good with a hurt neck.
Just then, Shintomon appears out of nowhere and sets Sonja on the battlefield.
"Should I tell him now?"
"Yes, after all, Davis also helped save the digital universe."
"All right, but I'm not going soft after this. Got it, elf boy?"
"Agreed."
With that said, Shintomon teleports back to Planet Tunip to greet the others. Sonja turns her attention to Davis and sighs.
"Well, here goes nothing…"
Davis and Veemon danced around in victory while Sonja just stood closing her eyes and turning her back on him. Davis heard a shuffling noise and turned to find Sonja.
"Hey, babe! How did you find us?"
"Um, well… Shintomon brought me here…"
"Oh really? Cool! You wanna celebrate with us? We're going to go get drunk until we pass out!"
"No, thank you… I don't drink…"
"C'mon, babe! Lighten up! We've just won a serious war here! The digital universe is safe and we're going to party!" Davis exclaimed, "Just for this once smile and get with the good times."
"Please, for us," the blue-colored dragon digimon pleaded. "We haven't seen you smile and celebrate ever since Davis married you."
Sonja simply stood and did not reply to a single word that they said.
"Ok, we'll just leave you alone then," Davis replied, "Lets go Veemon."
As soon as the young man and his blue digimon were about to walk away, they heard a feminine voice calling out to them.
"Davis!"
He stopped at the call of his name and then turned around to face Sonja with a delighted look across his face. She turns around to face him as a slight smile forms across her face. She approaches him with angel blue eyes locked onto his chocolate colored eyes.
"What's up, babe? Why are you giving me the sudden silent treatment and what's with that look in your eye?"
But just as he was about to finish, Sonja pulled the boy over to her and they both stared each other in the eye. Davis knew what was coming.
"Go ahead. Just go and sock me in the mouth. I know it's coming…"
"Shut up and kiss me, Davis."
"Huh?"
"You heard me. Just shut up and kiss me already," Sonja replied with a smile.
Davis nodded and held the woman in his arms as they each planted a kiss onto one another. The others were looking on with surprise since Sonja had broken out of her silent treatment and showed what she really thought of her husband.
TK looks over at Kari tapping him on the shoulder.
"And here's a little something for you," TK said, "I hope you like it."
With that said, Kari wrapped her arms around TK, which forced the blonde-haired young man to kiss the girl of his dreams on the lips. Both were exchanging with kiss like there was no tomorrow.
"Hey! You four better get a damn room," laughed Gatomon.
Everyone started laughing at what Gatomon had just said to the two kissing couples, but they went on to continue to kiss their love mates.
Planet Tunip
Sora looked over at the crystal ball and was waiting for her special someone to return back as well.
"Waiting for him, Sora?" asked Mimi.
"Yeah. He looks so worn out," she replied. "But don't worry, I'm going to take good care of him when he gets back."
"Ditto here. Matt owes me a vacation trip to the Bahamas after this is all said and done."
"Ooh. I just hope Matt has the money to cover a trip like that," giggled Sora.
"Oh, he's a rock star. What do you expect? The payment will be like nothing to him. Besides he really needs a break from all this fighting, training and concert tours."
"I know how me must feel. All of that stress."
"Stress or not, you two should be proud of them. They helped Takato become the hero of the day," stated X. "The Digital Universe is grateful to having heroes like them. Everyone of you are heroes and played you're roles well."
"You also helped us in many ways X," Sora said. "We're grateful to you."
"You're gratitude is accepted."
"Joe."
"What is it, Gomamon?"
"I think they're coming our way?"
"You mean Tai and the others?"
"Yep. I can feel them."
"Good, so we can get back home and help restore everything that the D-Reaper destroyed back in our home," replied Ryo, "I just hope our families are safe."
"I'm pretty sure they are," said Cody. "The digicores restored Earth after all."
"So, did our Impmon win?" asked Ai.
"What? Impmon won too. You even saw him," replied Makoto.
"You bet you're dollar I've won!" a rough voice calls out.
The two children quickly turned around to see none other than Beelzebumon standing from a distance. Ai and Makoto cheered happily as they ran over to Beelzebumon. With that, everyone else from the battlefield arrived back through Omega X's Time Warp. Takato and Guilmon were held safely in Omega X's arms.
"Takato! Is he going to be okay?" Rika asked.
"Yeah. He's just resting. This little dude helped save our digital universe. We couldn't have done it without him."
"That spirit ball took a lot out of him," said X. "Then again, that was his first time using it. I'm surprised he and Guilmon were able to survive."
"Well, if you have heart and courage like these two, they'll always come out on top."
"Just like I had during my prime," X said in thought.
"You da man, chumley!" Kazu exclaimed.
"Wait till I tell everyone that Takato saved our butts from the D-Reaper!" Kenta replied.
"You were great out there, Impmon. We thought we you weren't going to make it," Ai said.
"But you came back to us!"
"Hey. I said I would come back and here I am. I'm glad to see you two again. But don't call me Impmon. I don't even look like Impmon anymore. I'm Beelzebumon."
Jeri and Leomon looked on with smiles across their faces. Calumon jumps around with a big smile on his face.
"So, what are we going to do as a way to celebrate?" asked Jeri.
"Heh. Are you kidding? We're going to party!" Omega X cried out.
"Tai!"
Omega X turns around as he quickly powered down and separated back into Tai and Agumon. Tai sets both Takato and Guilmon on the ground. Sora goes jumping into Tai and wraps her arms around him.
"Its so good to see that you're alright, Tai. Thank you, for not dying on me."
"Hey, you know better than me just to leave you all alone. I'll never abandon you, Sora."
"Oh, Tai…"
The couple quickly embraced themselves and delivered a never-ending kiss from the hero to his lover. The group was cheering along as fireworks were now starting to explode in the air. Everybody turned and the whole digital universe was starting to celebrate as if the new millennium had just arrived.
Soon after waking up, Takato and Guilmon were also looking out towards the fireworks as they heard footsteps approaching him. He turned and saw none other Rika and Renamon.
"Takato. I just wanted to say that you were really great out there. You saved our asses out there."
"Um, thanks Rika. I'm just surprised those words are actually coming from the mouth of the so-called digimon queen."
"Well, um. Yeah. Takato, there's been something I've been wanting to tell you all this time."
"What is it?"
The red-haired girl goes whispering Takato in his ear, which brought a slight blush to the goggle boy's face. Guilmon had noticed this.
"Takato? Why is your face all red?"
"Let's not get started, Guilmon."
"Why not? Why are you blushing anyway?" she asked.
"Um, well you see. I never really had anyone say that to me before."
"Oh, goggle head. Just shut up and kiss me, lover boy."
"What?"
"I said. Just shut up and kiss me, goggle head."
With that said, Takato planted a kiss on Rika's lips as they both exchanged it towards one another. Even Guilmon and Renamon were both caught off guard.
"Guilmon! Am I just seeing things here?"
"No, you must be seeing things just like I am. Did I just see those two kiss?"
"No, probably your imagination."
Monodramon was silent amongst the crowd of cheering children. Suddenly a dark voice spoke through his mind.
"With D-Reaper out of commission, I will escape my hibernation within the next five years. Then I shall give Omega X the biggest battle of his life. Celebrate now because my reawakening will soon be realized," the dark presence spoke through Ryo's digimon.
X turned towards Monodramon with a cautious glare. His next task was to keep a close eye on Monodramon for these next five years.
"I'm onto you," the masked man thought.
As soon as everybody was celebrating, the skies from above were now starting to become a common spot for fireworks to be shot up. The Tamers and the Digi-Destined all joined in on the digital universe's long celebration, which almost seemed never ending to say that least.
Earth
Soon after being transported back by Shintomon, the Hypnos crew and the Monster Makers found themselves back within Hypnos headquarters. Yamaki looked out the window with a smile across his face. Mr. Wong goes walking up to him and stands right next to the man.
"So, what are you thinking, Yamaki?"
"Nothing, but the restoration of our city and the other parts of the world as well. It's going to require a lot of work on our part. Now that the D-Reaper is gone, there shouldn't be anymore threats to invade our world."
"Lets just hope you're right. But I just hope that children are alright."
Just then, Yamaki looked over at his laptop and noticed that an email message had just come in from Takato; through the COM device he had given the goggle boy. A slight smirk started to form on Yamaki's face.
"I assure you, Janyuu. They're just fine. I'm sure they'll be coming right back as we speak."
He goes walking up over towards his laptop and opened up Takato's message and began to read it.
Mr. Yamaki,
We'll be back later. Every single one of us will be resting our injuries and celebrating with Shintomon. So you can let our parents know and you can expect our arrival back in a few short hours. Reply to this message if you can.
Signed,
Takato
"So, what does it say, Yamaki?"
"They're all fine and will return in a few short hours. Looks like they're celebrating and we should let them have all the time to celebrate their victory."
Janyuu nodded in agreement. He was more than happy to have heard that each and every single child was safe, including his son and daughter.
"Suzie. Henry. You've made me proud…"
Later in the Week
The city of Shinjuku had just began its reconstruction as well as other worldwide cities that were invaded by the D-Reaper's chaos mass.
But while everyone else were starting the reconstruction, the Digi-Destined and the Tamers decided to throw a party at Tai's apartment home. It has really been a long time since peace and restoration has been restored to the three worlds, but everyone can now hope and dream of a new era.
Sora was standing right in front of a mirror and tries to decide what kind of dress she should wear. She then turned around to see none other than Kari, who was helping to compliment on the dresses that she was wearing. Kari picked out a pink dress.
"So, what do you think I should wear?" asked Sora, "This red dress or the flowered one."
"I like the flowered-one on you the best. Tai just loves it when you wear that."
"Wow, thanks for the compliments, Kari. We better hurry. The party is about to get started."
"All right. See ya down there in a minute."
With that said, Kari shuts the door behind her, leaving Sora behind to look herself right in the mirror and with a slight smile. She went on and placed the dress on.
"She's right. Tai does love this dress. Well, there's just no point on putting it on. Our guests are about to arrive soon."
Later that evening, every one of the Digi-Destined and the Tamers had all gathered around into a large group within the apartment.
Everyone was starting to socialize, dance and do whatever they could very well do at a party. Davis and Veemon were singing on a karaoke machine, which didn't set well for the entire group as they covered their ears.
"Here! Let a real talented voice get up and get up there for a minute," Mimi said as she walks up the stage.
"Here, give it a shot!"
Davis hands Mimi the microphone and she began to adjust it, in order to get it to work.
"All right, in just a few moments, I'm about to sing one of my favorite songs. So you guys better get ready to listen… but for now, lets all take a commercial break!"
Mimi goes giggling off the stage and sits right next to Matt on the cough. Matt was holding baby Dimitri in his arms. The couple then planted a kiss to one another.
Tai was started to pace while waiting for his girl of his dreams to get out of the room. He looked down at his watch.
"Sora? What's keeping you so long? You never seem to take this long before. What's the deal?"
Just then, the door opened and Tai looked up to see none other than Sora walk out in the flowered dress that he likes so much. It was actually a top with a skirt, but a dress was a dress.
"Sora. You picked out the dress that I like so much. How did you know?" Tai asked.
"I kind of figured that this would be a momentous occasion," she replied, "So are you ready to party?"
"Yeah! Let's kick this baby up!"
Tentomon and Gomamon, who were posing as DJs, were now placing in a little hip-hop in order to bring a naughty mood amongst the group.
"Yeah! Who wants drinks?" asked Davis, "Come and get it!"
"I wonder what kind of drinks that they're serving," Takato said.
"Who cares? What's more important is that we're here, goggle head," Rika said.
"Hmmm. Say, where's Guilmon?"
But just as soon as the goggle boy said that, he turned and saw the red dinosaur jumping out and dancing around to the music that was currently playing. Renamon goes appearing from out of nowhere.
"That's just typical of Guilmon," Renamon said, "Always knows how to find a way to totally embarrass himself."
"Yeah. I know what you mean," said Takato, "Hey, Guilmon! How about you sing a little song on the karaoke?"
"How about no," replied Rika, "It's okay, Guilmon. Don't listen to him. You don't have to."
"Aww, but I really wanted to."
The entire group started laughing at the thought of Guilmon singing on the karaoke, but the red digimon couldn't but laugh too. Kari and Gatomon were looking on while taking a sip of their milkshakes.
"This stuff is great, Davis. I never knew you were so good at making milkshakes," Kari said.
"Eh, well. I learned from Sonja anyways. She's the expert at making milkshakes."
"Yeah, since the ones you made before were crap," she replied.
"Hey, it's not my fault. I just forgot to add more milk to it."
Veemon goes elbowing the young man on his leg. Davis looks right down at his digimon partner with a curious look.
"I guess like I said before, back to the drawing board, huh?"
Davis lowered his head in shame as Veemon. Sonja goes over and ruffles Davis' hair. TK and Kari all started to laugh at the very same time.
"Kari! What are you doing standing around her for? Lets dance."
"I'd love to."
TK and Kari go walking up towards the center of the dance floor as they started to dace with one another to the hip-hop beat that was playing. Patamon and Gatomon were also dancing with another at the same time.
"All right, everyone! It's time for Mimi Tachikawa to take stage! Please, save the applause after my performance. I'm going to perform one of my favorite all-time songs. It's called My Will and it's sung on one of my old favorite movies. And it goes something like this!"
With that said, the lights went out and the spotlight hits on Mimi. Flashes of colored light shone down upon the girl. She started dancing about to the rhythm of the music. Mimi started along with the lyrics through the karaoke machine. She was singing one of her favorite music themes entitled i My Will /i . She went on singing for nearly ten minutes straight without any signs of stopping, but her voice was so beautiful that even her friends were quite impressed. No wonder she ended up as backup singer with Matt and his band.
The karaoke machine's lyrics ended and Mimi stopped by blowing a kiss to the crowd. Everyone started cheering for the talented girl.
"That was so good, Mimi!" Kari cheers. "You're really good with this!"
"Well, she isn't my lead singer for nothing," Matt said.
"You sure are full of yourself, Matt," TK teased.
"Wasn't that just beautiful?" Sora asked.
"Yep. Well, now that we've put the karaoke machine into good use, let's get this party going!"
Impmon looks on from the background as Ai and Mako were playing a game of Duel Monsters.
"At least she sings better than I can," Impmon muttered. "Make sure you summon the Blue eyes I you're deck, Ai."
"Hey, that wasn't fair, Impmon!" Mako cries out. "You can't help Ai!"
"Can too! My deck is better than yours!"
"Is not!"
Is too!"
"Hoo boy. Here we go again," the rookie muttered to himself.
"Hmmm. Hey! There's something that's going to show on TV that involves the War Games," said Joe.
"About the War Games?" asked Cody.
"Yeah, they finally made a movie out of it."
"Well, what are we standing around here for. Lets take a look at it," said Tai, "Man. I'd better take a look at this."
Yolei went over and turned on the television, which was now set directly on the very same channel where the program was going to start.
"All right guys! Here's the moment we've all been waiting for. First we saved the world and now we're going to be movie stars," said Davis.
The Tamers all gathered around as well.
"Finally, we'll get to see what really happened at the War Games, Terriermon."
"Yeah and I really want to see what this Virus wacko looks like."
"Shh. It's about to start," said Ryo.
Back onto the television, the beginning credits were being shown and the opening image had TOEI on it. There was a familiar battlefield with a large in-ring floor with a very familiar figure standing at the center of it. It was none other than Virus. But just as the camera view came in a little more closer. It wasn't as everybody expected. Virus turned around and he looked really cheesy. He had a small body and large oversized head. It was obvious that an actor was playing as Virus. He also laughed really corny instead of maniacally.
"HA! You've got to be kidding me!" Davis exclaimed.
"That's one big head," Veemon remarked.
"At least they got his character right," Sonja replied. "That creep had such an inflated ego."
"What! So this what took place? Man, that Virus chump must have had bas taste in an outfit like that! I mean he has two bumps growing out of his head!" Impmon remarked.
"Trust me, little guy. If he had heard you bad mouthing him in his ring, he would have kicked you into orbit," said Gatomon.
"Hey, I can become Beelzebumon. Just remember that sister!"
"He'd still mop the floor with Beelzebumon," Patamon said. "No offense, but this guy was bad news. Gatomon here can tell you all about it."
"Really? Tell me how you did it. You know just in case he decides to come back from the dead."
"I doubt he'll ever come back, but I'll tell ya everything. Better yet, let's just watch this film."
"I've seen better B-Movies than this piece of crap," Impmon remarked.
Then another view came in as the group that was at the War Games was standing around. Human actors were playing as the Digi-Destined, while the people in costumes were in the roles as the digimon and the fusion warriors. Each person with a costume on had really over-sized heads and such.
The group was looking on rather amused and disgusted at the way this reenactment was being performed. Tai was starting to laugh to himself over what was happening.
"We will stop you, Virus!"
"Ha! That's me!" Tai exclaimed as he pointed out to the actor playing as Omega X.
Then as soon as Leomon and Matt were looking over at the actors playing their parts, they were both seething under their breaths.
"Oh lighten up, Matt. This is pretty cute," Mimi said, "I mean those costumes are just so cheap!"
"This is disgusting!" Leomon growled.
"What? You think so? I think this is so cute," Jeri replied.
"Now this is funny!" Calumon giggled.
"Yeah! Lighten up guys. I think it's pretty damn funny," Tai said.
"All right, Virus! Lets take this into the air! Let's go!"
"Yes! I will defeat you! I have you down where I want you!"
After calling out some lame ass attacks, Virus knocked away Omega X and was starting to kick him down. Then he goes over to each and everyone of the other digimon and kicked them around as well. The Tamers could only look on with utter disgust, just as were the Digi-Destined.
"Ha! Ha! I have won! You were all no match for me power. Ha! Ha!"
"Oh no! We've been beaten! Now what do we do!
"Ha! Ha! Nothing! Because now I shall blow up the earth and destroy each of you!"
"No! You shall stop right there!"
Virus quickly turns around and sees none other than Celesta X, looking like she had plastic surgery. Virus steps away and points over at her.
"Ha! It's you! Now you will get a taste of my energy ray! Take that!"
As soon as he points out his finger, he presses a button and a small explosion explodes right in front of Celesta X. After such a lame explosion, Virus turns around and starts laughing like an idiot.
"Ha! Ha! I have won!"
"No you haven't! I was getting started!"
"What! But how! How did you get through my attacks!"
"You're useless tricks are weak and stupid!"
"All right! Now taste my monster ray!"
Virus then presses a button on the bottom of the floor and a pair of spears starts shooting out in front of Celesta X. However, Celesta X was easily able to catch them with tremendous of ease.
"Ha! You're going to have to find another way of defeating me! Those were useless tricks!"
"Oh no! Please! I surrender!"
Virus fell down onto his knees and goes bowing before Celesta X and kissing her feet.
"Will you ever forgive me?"
"Ha! Never! I'll never forgive an ugly monster such as yourself. You do not want to change! So take this! And that!"
Celesta X starts bitch slapping Virus in a rather cheesy Hollywood way. Then she winds up and delivers a slap across his face. Virus goes flying out of the ring and into a nearby rock wall. Virus falls and then stands in a rather dramatic pose as he calls out.
"Ahh! I am beaten!"
As soon as he said that, an explosion occurred around Virus, which indicated his defeat, but in a rather cheesy, Hollywood kind of manner. Celesta X then puts on a Sailor Moon-like pose while giving a peace sign.
Then, Omega X and Metalla X start praising out for their 'hero'.
"She's so awesome!"
"I wish I were like her!"
"And justice prevails over all!"
As soon as the film ended with the credits, everybody was looking on with rather disgusted looks on their faces and their eyes were just as widened as ever. Kari placed a hand over her face.
"Ugh. No. I am totally embarrassed," she muttered to herself.
"Well, look on the bright side. At least they made a star out of you're character," TK replied.
"True, but I should be the one who gets the cash. Celesta X is myself after all."
"Well, that part didn't really take place at the War Games," Tai reassured the Tamers. "But guess what? It really kept me entertained."
"Yeah! That was entertaining in a way," Takato said.
"I thought it was really cute," Jeri remarked.
"Ugh. Hollywood these days," said Rika, "They'll do whatever they can to humiliate you. Money hogging bastards."
"Well, just be glad that we weren't featured in that movie," said Henry.
"Not unless they decide to make a movie out from the battle against the D-Reaper we just had recently," said Terriermon.
"Hey! Don't jinx us!" said Rika.
"Dang! I better keep my mouth shut then! We can't let Hollywood ruin our good image, especially mine. I don't want some overpaid chump to wear an oversized head of myself."
"Ha! Just like I've always said, humans can be so silly," Calumon said.
Just then, Agumon turned around as he felt a presence from outside the apartment. Tai took notice of this.
"What is it, Agumon? I don't know. But I thought I felt a presence. It's coming from the outside."
"Who could it be," Tai asked.
"I don't know but we better check this out."
"All right!"
"Tai! What's wrong?" asked Sora.
"Agumon just felt a presence and we're going to find out what it is," assured Tai.
"We'll come too," Takato called, "Lets go Guilmon."
"Not without me," Rika cried out.
"Same for the two of us," said Sora.
Tai and Takato went running out as Agumon and Guilmon were leading their direction. As soon as they turned at a corner, they all stopped as a human was standing before them.
"Tai! What did you find?" Sora managed to say.
"Who's is that?" Rika asked.
"Hey! Just who are you," Tai asked frantically.
The person who was standing before them was a rather beautiful young girl with a pair of pure, heavenly blue eyes. Her blonde hair was rather short and went all the way down onto her shoulders. She was wearing a rather familiar Japanese school uniform. Tai looked over at her and his eyes widened in shock.
"Hello, Digi-Destined and Tamers. So, you must be Taichi Kamiya?" the mysterious girl asked coldly.
"Yes. What do you want from me?"
The girl simply smirked and looked over to the corner of her eye. A tall digimon came walking by next to her. Avengemon is a tall, metallic warrior with a sleek appearance. Tai and the others were looking on with surprise. Tai then noticed that the girl had a noticeable D-Ark, much similar to Takato's and Rika's.
"Hey! Where did you get that?" Rika asked, "Don't tell me that you're a…"
"I'm a Tamer, Rika Nonaka."
Rika was shot back at what the girl had just referred to her as. The redhead couldn't believe that this girl, who she has never met before, already knows her name.
"And that must be you're digimon?" Takato asked.
"Yes. His name is Avengemon."
"And you're name. What is your name?" Tai asked.
The girl smiled and turned her attention back over to the leader of the Digi-Destined.
"The name is Dorothy Kaimodosu. Now Taichi, I want you and Agumon to immediately fuse into Omega X!"
"What! Who are you trying to kid us here?" Tai asked, "And how do you even know we're Omega X!"
"Because, I want a battle with you. Avengemon would really love to battle the one who helped Takato Matsuki to defeat the D-Reaper."
Tai was quickly taken back by this and could remember what he had told the D-Reaper at the very last seconds before she was defeated. His eyes widened in shock.
"Is that you, D-Reaper?"
"Well, he looks rather confident enough. But lets just see if Omega X can match up power and strength with Avengemon."
Agumon looks right over at Avengemon and starts picking up a familiar ki from him.
"He has D-Reaper's ki within. I better watch myself here."
"So, Taichi. Are you ready to battle? Because Avengemon is getting rather antsy as we speak. He loves a good fight and wants only the best."
After careful reconsideration, Tai returned a smile over to her and nodded.
"Lets go, Agumon! I'm sure we'll give her a good match that shes been looking for!"
"And so it begins…" Dorothy said to herself in thought.
Dorothy and Avengemon faced off against Tai and Agumon with determined glares. Takato and Guilmon looked on with caution.
"Don't do it, Tai. Shouldn't she be fighting me instead?"
"As much as I want Avengemon to battle Gallantmon, it's this young man and Agumon that I really came for. I've made you're wish come true after all," Dorothy said. "Isn't that right, Taichi?"
"Wish?"
"C'mon Taichi. Show me what you got. Lets see this true power of Omega X. You and Agumon demonstrate. Avengemon has been looking for a good battle and you can provide on for him. What are you waiting for?"
Tai stood his ground with Sora, Takato and Rika looking on with concerned looks on their faces. Renamon and Guilmon were picking up a familiar presence much like Agumon did.
"Tai. This isn't the time," Sora said, "These battles need to stop. Remember this is a time of peace."
"You maybe right, Sora. But there's always a good time to fight and this is the perfect time to do battle. All right, Dorothy, I'm ready."
"That's good to hear, Taichi. Let's go."
As soon as she said that, Avengemon quickly gets into a fighting stance and gives Agumon a death glare. Agumon stood his ground and looked right over at Tai.
"Let us back you up, Agumon," Guilmon said.
"No you guys stay back. Avengemon only wants me. I want to make it fair for him. I'm ready whenever you are, Tai!"
"Lets go!"
"Braveheart" plays
As soon as he said that, Tai's digivice quickly began to shoot out a beam of energy and a shower of light was starting to engulf the orange dinosaur. Then the young man's chest started to glow an orange ray of light with the symbol of courage appearing. These two combined powers quickly allowed Agumon to warp digivolve straight to his mega-level form.
"Agumon warp shinka!"
The little digimon was quickly engulfed in a ray of light ass he quickly evolved through all of his evolution forms. First from Agumon, to Greymon, then to Metal Greymon and finally War Greymon. A pair of gauntlets came extracting out from his hands as well as claws. His eyes were glowing. Finally, the mega shouts his name out.
"War Greymon!"
War Greymon stepped right in front of Avengemon with a rather serious look on his face. Dorothy looked on smiling and she goes nodding to Avengemon.
"I can sense your ki, Avengemon. It's so familiar. What is your background story?"
"My past is of no concern of yours. Now let us begin our battle, War Greymon!"
The mysterious digimon gets into a quick battle stance and quickly powers an aura around him. Then War Greymon cries out and forms his own aura as well.
"Do your best, Agumon!"
"So, you chose War Greymon instead of Omega X? No matter. Avengemon, mop the floor with him," Dorothy replied.
"Man, and here I thought you were a serious Tamer, Rika," Takato said.
"No kidding. She kind of reminds me of myself in my old days."
"But why does she only want to battle Tai? I don't completely understand this. I haven't see this girl before,"Sora said to herself.
Even Renamon was beginning to become a little weary of the presence of Dorothy and Avengemon.
Flying through faster than light speed, War Greymon soars toward Avengemon and delivers a kick straight to his chest. This caused Avengemon to tumble backwards, but was able to hold his balance. But with new anger building up inside of him, Avengemon quickly retaliates and starts his attack upon War Greymon. War Greymon looks ahead and realized that Avengemon was flying at surprisingly super, fast speed.
War Greymon goes blocking Avengemon's kicks with his armed gauntlets. Each time Avengemon was kicking away at War Greymon, his fists were starting to throb in pain. Then Avengemon goes throwing a power punch that sent War Greymon falling face first onto the ground. This quickly took Tai and the others back.
"War Greymon! Are you okay, buddy!"
War Greymon managed to sit up onto his feet and goes facing off Avengemon. He was a little dazed but then he nods his head.
"Impressive, Avengemon. For a newly evolved digimon, you pack quite a wallop. Dorothy must have bee one hell of a Tamer."
"That's correct, War Greymon. He lives to fight as much as I do. That's what makes us an unstoppable team. Nobody can comprehend our abilities until we heard of you and Tai Kamiya. We seek the best and you two are the best we could find."
"Interesting, so that's why you chose us?"
"Yes. Now let us continue."
"Of course."
With that said, Avengemon goes phasing out and quickly appears from above the sky. He leaps down upon War Greymon from above, but the mega digimon dashed out of the way just in time, while flipping across in safety.
"Yes! It's obvious! There's no doubt that War Greymon and I are battling the reincarnation of the D-Reaper,"Tai said to himself in thought. "Dorothy and Avengemon are the reincarnations of the D-Reaper! My wish managed to come true. Hold on, I remember X telling me that the good D-Reaper inside the evil one was reincarnated into a digimon. Avengemon is the good D-Reaper and Dorothy is the reincarnation of the evil one. How did she age so fast?"
"That's because Dorothy asked me to increase her age. I had a hand to this and it was me that sent Dorothy. After all, you did ask for another round with the D-Reaper."
"I see. So it was you all along. Well, I thank you, X. Now we can finish the fight where we left off. Oh and why didn't you come to the party?"
"Heh. Don't worry. Once you finish this up, I'll be there to meet up with you guys."
"All right, see you then. Now where were we?"
Avengemon now realized that his opponent was standing behind him on the other side of the battlegrounds. He goes charging at War Greymon once again. He starts blocking out every one of Avengemon's head-on attacks. War Greymon quickly snatches Avengemon by the arm. War Greymon goes flying right up into the air and phases out towards a nearby abandoned parking lot.
"Going up! And now, going down!"
With that said, War Greymon hurls Avengemon down into the ground below and watches as he crashes through the floor below, causing a huge impact along with it.
"I feel sorry for all of those construction workers when they see this. They're going to be so pissed."
The group goes running over towards the parking lot. Tai, Sora, Rika and Takato were looking up at where War Greymon was still hovering. Dorothy runs by and then looks over at the impact crater that Avengemon's fall created.
"C'mon, Avengemon! Get up!"
Just as she said that, Avengemon pops his head out from the deep hole he created and looks right up at War Greymon standing before him. He then started to stick his tongue out at Avengemon in order to tease him. Avengemon was quickly starting to get furious and then goes flipping out to face War Greymon off once again.
"I won't lose! I promised Dorothy that I would win this battle and prove myself to be the strongest digimon fighter ever. I will do whatever it takes to make my Tamer proud!"
War Greymon goes attacking head on with several punches at Avengemon. But Avengemon was quickly keeping up with him and blocking out his claw swipes.
"Wow! He's got impressive speed!"War Greymon said to himself.
They began to fight on furiously, as Avengemon was holding off his own quite well for a beginner. Tai and the others were looking on with their mouths gaping open, but Dorothy was smiling proudly.
"Keep it up, Avengemon! That's some great defense! Your really good against dragon man digimon such as War Greymon anyways. Lets give you a little upgrade!"
Dorothy pulls out a card, which caught both Takato and Rika by surprise. She then slides it through her D-Ark.
"She's using a slash card!" Takato exclaimed.
"Look out, Tai! She's going to increase Avengemon's speed!" Rika calls out.
"Card Slash! Hyper speed activate!"
With that said, Avengemon had gained new found speed and was quickly managing to block out ever single one of War Greymon's claw swipes. The mega was soon starting to become overwhelmed as Tai was looking on with great shock.
"War Greymon! You have to hang in there!"
"Finish him off, Avengemon!"
"Wow! She's good," Takato said.
"I doubt she's as good as me, but her digimon is only at a champion level. I checked his profile on my D-Ark analyzer. Plus, he was even able to keep up with a mega level before the upgrade card! So she might even be that damn good!"
"Ha, who would have ever thought!"
Renamon watched the battle ensue and took a close look at both Dorothy and Avengemon. A slight smile formed across her face while getting a familiar ki from the both of them.
"Could they both really be the reincarnations of the D-Reaper? Is X telling the truth?"
The two fights stopped as streaks of energy were flashing between them. They try to kick each other and end up knee to knee, neither one backing down from one another. Their energy started to make the parking lot concrete crack and crumble with force. They start fighting again, with Avengemon getting the better of the situation. He slams War Greymon down onto the ground, then slings him around and hurls him down into air above. Avengemon flies up above him and clubs him down towards the ground below. The impact started to create a large explosion of dust and rubble.
The group watched on with alarm, while Dorothy smiled and started to show confidence for her digimon's sudden resurgence.
Avengemon lands back down on the floor of the parking lot as the huge dust was beginning to clear away. A massive depression was left in the center of the concrete where War Greymon had landed. But just as Dorothy and Avengemon were quickly about to claim victory, the ground started to shake under Avengemon's feet, and an immense bust of energy came shooting out of the pit of the shattered concrete. Then large flashes of lightning starts streaking around the lot, and War Greymon rises out of the fallen rubble and lands to face an astonished Avengemon.
The mega seemed uninjured from the a massive blast and still had that same confident look on his face. Tai nodded with approval, as Sora looked on smiling. Takato and Rika were just as astonished. Dorothy was just as impressed and shocked as her digimon was.
"Incredible. War Greymon was able to withstand that! What kind of power that he have hidden, or is he just toying around with Avengemon?"
Avengemon was looking on over at War Greymon with a look of horror on his face. But then, he got back into the battle and went head on with War Greymon again. The fight continued with both digimon moving with super speed and damaging the lot as they clashed. War Greymon slams Avengemon to the ground with a kick. But the digimon managed to pull himself up painfully.
"I won't lose! I won't lose! I will make Dorothy proud! She deserves to have a victory over the legendary Tai Kamiya! This has got to be done! Then after she defeats War Greymon, Dorothy will lay claim as the next legendary Tamer of the Digital World!"
With that said, he used those thoughts to build up a new found rage from within. Avengemon goes screaming out with tremendous rage, as his gust of energy sent chunks of rock from the concrete and then pushed them right forth at War Greymon. He goes charging at War Greymon with all of his might, but War Greymon eludes him and Avengemon gets nailed a knee to his gut. The force of the knee was enough to bring Avengemon down as he began to cough out some blood.
Then, he quickly looks over and notices that War Greymon had quickly vanished. Dorothy goes calling out to him.
"He's right above you, Avengemon!"
The digimon responded as he looked up into the skies above and gasped when he saw War Greymon looking down upon him. War Greymon extends his arms into the air as a large orange sphere of massive energy was starting to form.
"Go for it, War Greymon!" Tai exclaimed.
"Ah! The Terra Force!" Dorothy cried out, "Avengemon! Watch out!"
But just as he was about to throw it, War Greymon had immediately stopped and realized that he was getting a little carried away. He goes hovering back down onto the ground and faced off Avengemon. The mysterious digimon stood up and looked right into the eyes of the mega.
"Why didn't you finish me off when you had the chance?"
"I didn't need to. I see a great power within you, Avengemon. You have a lot of potential. That is why I am offering you a chance to train with me."
"Train with you?"
"To learn not to allow rage to distract you on the battle field. You just displayed anger; you shouldn't really need it unless it was necessary. This was just a simple sparring lesson."
"You think so?"
"I know so."
Tai and his friends go walking right over towards Dorothy. The blonde-haired girl turned around to face them. Tai then steps forwards and speaks up.
"That was a pretty impressive digimon you have there. Even at the champion level, he was able to give War Greymon a run for his money."
"Thank you, Taichi. You really know how to tame your digimon quite well."
"I've had loads of experience on my side."
"Yeah, you really knew how to handle those cards. Impressive work," Takato said, "But how come we've never seen you here?"
Dorothy was quickly taken back by this and had to make up a story right away before the others would get suspicious.
"I moved here with my family. We came from… England."
"England, huh? So how did you end up with Avengemon?" Rika asked.
Since Dorothy didn't want to reveal anything X had informed her of, the girl decided to create her own background story.
"Once the digimon card game arrived in England just a couple of weeks after it's release in Japan, I took a quick interest into digimon. I lived for it and hoped for a digimon to come to me one day. Then, I had received a blue card. I didn't know how, but I had somehow wished for a digivice, which I like to call a D-Ark. It was Avengemon that found me. He was looking for the best Tamer and had chosen me over every other child in England. I mean there were many children in England and I ended up being the chosen one. We've been an unstoppable team ever since."
"But tell me. Have you ever gone into the digital world?" asked Sora.
"No, but Avengemon has. I did dream of going there and it was one of the most beautiful dreams I've ever had. I've always wanted to go there."
"I'm here to make an offer to you, Dorothy," Tai said.
"What is it?"
"If it's okay with Sora, I really would like to help teach you the methods of training you're digimon partner. Plus, I'm already sure that War Greymon is the best sparring partner for Avengemon. Is that okay, Sora?"
"Fine with me. But make sure you guys train her digimon well."
"I can guarantee you that. Hell, two of my pupils saved the planet. Right Takato?"
"Uh huh."
"So, is that okay, Dorothy?" asked Tai.
The blonde-girl turns and looks over at Avengemon, who was shaking hands with War Greymon. Then she looks right over at Tai and smiled. She extended her hand out and shook Tai's hand.
"I'll be honored to have you as my sensei," she said. "I really can't believe that I'm shaking hands with the legendary Tai Kamiya."
"Well, don't get too carried away. When do you want to get started?"
"Any time would be nice. By the way, I just wanted to tell you that I hope Avengemon will eventually become as strong as War Greymon and eventually, we'll do battle with each other for another time. Is that agreed?"
"Sure."
"I can't believe Tai is actually going to pull through with this," said Sora, who quickly managed to smile. "But then again, he's always been the helpful kind to others. I'm sure this girl will learn a lot. Tai really helped Kari and Takato."
"It looks like her memories have been completely erased of the D-Reaper. Which is a good thing. X probably had to inform her on everything that occurred a week ago with the chaos her previous form had caused. But can Avengemon really become just as powerful as Omega X?" Renamon pondered.
"Hey, Rika?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't you think we better be heading back to the party already?"
"Oh yeah! You're right, goggle head. They're probably waiting for us! Lets go before everyone decides to leave."
As soon as Rika said that, the two Tamers ran back with their digimon following close behind them. Sora runs but then stops to turn.
"Aren't you coming Tai?"
"Be there in a minute! I'll catch up with you in a minute!"
"All right!"
Sora goes running back towards the party, which left Tai and Dorothy behind.
"So, what do you say? You wanna join us at a party? If that's okay with you."
"My parents won't seem to mind. They want me to make many new friends as possible."
"Ok, you'll meet plenty of good new friends at the party. They're all Tamers and Digi-Destined just like me. They each have their own digimon."
"Wow, is that true? That's amazing! I can't wait to meet each and everyone of them."
"Oh, you'll really like them."
Tai and Dorothy go walking back towards the party with the new de-evolved Agumon and Avengemon tagging along them their partners.
"X. Thanks for everything. You've been good to my friends and me. One of these, I'd really like to know who you really are behind that mask."
"You'll soon find out one of these days, Tai. I promise you."
The girl named Dorothy has found herself a new sensei, in Tai Kamiya. Now a set adventure is preparing to begin for the digi-destined of courage as he and Dorothy seek to get stronger. But what will make of our other heroes in the next few years? Stay tuned for the next episode of D-Tamers!

[Digimon Tamers Opening theme "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Five Years Later: 'Hi everyone, I'm Max Kamiya!'
Earth.
The cities of both West Shinjuku and Odaiba have been peaceful since the past five years after the D-Reaper was defeated. The city was already reconstructed along with other parts of Japan that the D-Reaper destroyed. The entire Earth has been at peace, without involving any kind of wars or world conflicts. Maybe some minor difficulties, but nothing more. The humans have already grown to accept the digimon. Though there were some non-believers attempting to cover up the whole digimon incidents, the fact remains that the digimon did indeed save the planet from the D-Reaper and every other threat in the past.
Thanks to Mummymon's ranting, the world would like to say their thanks to the two heroes that saved their world from the D-Reaper's destruction, Takato Matsuki AKA Gallantmon and Tai Kamiya AKA Omega X.
The Digi-Destined have now all moved on with their lives, either making new careers or starting new families. Either way, they would live happily without any threat about to end their time of peace. The Tamers have grown up into teenagers. The digimon were even allowed to stay with each of their partners, as family members themselves.
"The world is at peace and its all thanks to our effort. Each and every one of us. By the way, this is Tai Kamiya. I'm Twenty-Nine, about to turn thirty in five months. I just wanted to say that we have all moved on ever since the downfall of the D-Reaper. Ok, lets start off with TK and Kari. I'm happy to say that my younger sister managed to marry the man of her dreams. You can now officially call them Takeru and Hikari Takaishi. They have two children. They're twins, quite ravenous and surprisingly have big potty mouths. Tike and Kara are their names."
****************************************************************************************
TK and Kari are seen sitting together at the local park while pointing out to the lush and beautiful lake. Kari looks down at the wedding ring around her middle finger and smiles over to TK. Tike and Kara are having a quick duel with one another in the background. Tike is a blonde-haired boy with brown eyes, while Kara had brown hair like her mother's but has blue eyes like her father's.
"Unfortunately, these two kids aren't the perfect angels TK and Kari expected to have as kids."
"Wow, that Duel Monsters tournament was the shit!" Tike said.
"Yeah! Those duels kick so much ass!"
"Oh brother, what am I going to do about those two and their potty mouths?" TK said.
"Maybe give them some ice cream to cheer them up?" Kari replied.
Patamon and Gatomon were looking on at their partner's sides. They were proud of the fact that TK and Kari were able to tie the knot and officially call themselves a married couple. It had been a long road for them, since they've first met during the first digimon adventures. No longer was Kari the once sickly little girl and no longer TK was the little scared crybaby. They have grown since then.
****************************************************************************************
"Davis and Sonja have had an on and off relationship. But they eventually have admitted love to one another. Since Sonja can't technically have any kids through sex, she and Davis adopted a boy named David. We're not too sure about this boy's past, but you can tell he's very comfortable with having Davis and Sonja as his foster parents. Plus here's a start, Davis and Sonja are now co-owners of a local noodle restaurant called 'Come Get Your Noodles'. Plus it turned out to be a great success."
****************************************************************************************
David and Veemon are playing tag with one another. David looks down from the branch of a tree. The boy has brown hair and looked quite similar to his father, even though they were not related. Sonja was giving chase to Davis after he had accidentally broken another one of Sonja's favorite dishes. Davis ran so fast that he eventually fell into the lake. However, this didn't seem to affect Davis in anyway and he simply laughed along with Sonja. Veemon and David were seen in the background laughing with her parents.
"Like I've always said Davis, back to the drawing board, huh buddy?" Veemon teased his partner.
"Next time, you ought to try how to jump and grab these branches. They're you're friend," David said.
"Yeah, but they can be my worst enemy," Davis muttered.
"Davis. Davis. I don't know what I would do without you," Sonja replied.
****************************************************************************************
"Cody has moved on to become an attorney and he's already been involved in one of the most controversial criminal cases since then. Boy, I really wish him the best of luck. Those politics can be a real pain in the ass. He's also married with a daughter of their own and named her Sara."
****************************************************************************************
Cody and his wife, Marie, were walking down the streets of Odaiba while his wife wanted to do some shopping along the way. Sara and Armadillomon had bought themselves ice cream and were both munching down like there was no tomorrow. Sara has long, brown hair and beautiful green eyes.
****************************************************************************************
"Ken and Yolei now live back in Tomaichi. Ken has now already become a full-time detective while Yolei works at home as a computer programmer. She's also a housewife, where she and Ken are now forced to take care of three children. They had a son to go along with their eldest daughter, Naomi. Their son is named Sam, named after Ken's deceased older brother. He's now about five years old, but is catching on with life very quickly."
****************************************************************************************
Ken and Yolei stood around at the park while watching their two children playing with Hawkmon and Wormmon. Naomi gave chase to Hawkmon, while Sam wrestled Wormmon. Sam has his father's eyes but his mother's hair color. Naomi looked exactly like her mother, except that her hair color was that of her father's.
****************************************************************************************
"Joe has about a few years left before becoming a full-time doctor. But he his now officially married and they had a son named, Joseph, who was at five years of age."
****************************************************************************************
Joe and his wife, Diana, were sitting down on a bench as they watched Gomamon crack a few of his most funniest jokes to Joseph. The boy looked like the striking resemblance of the younger version of his father.
****************************************************************************************
"Izzy now works for Hypnos along with Yamaki. He and Talley have been officially dating for years and its pretty cool to see that Izzy has found someone that shares the same interests as him."
***************************************************************************************
Izzy and Talley were seen working together on another one of their recent computer programs. Tentomon was in the background falling asleep after all of the computer talk had bored him to death.
****************************************************************************************
"Then there's good ol' Henry and Terriermon. The boy is in high school and about to enter his sophomore year. Even his friends have grown to like Terriermon, since he's the only one who could crack some real sensible wiseass cracks. Henry is still a Tamer and proud to be one. As far as his sister was concerned, Suzie and Lopmon had their shares of fun in elementary school."
****************************************************************************************
Henry had bought himself and Suzie ice cream while Terriermon and Lopmon were seen in the background struggling on that should have the chocolate-vanilla swirl mix.
"Those two ought to momentai," Henry said.
****************************************************************************************
"Kazu goes to the same high school as Henry, and he often brings Guardromon to watch over the school cafeteria once in a while. But I don't think even Guardromon can stand the taste of school lunch."
****************************************************************************************
Kazu was riding along on Guardromon as they both marched on towards alongside the street.
"Hiho, Guardromon! Away!"
"Kazu. You really need to stop watching those Lone Ranger re-runs."
*****************************************************************************************
"Kenta also attends high school with Kazu and Henry. He also brings Marine Angemon to tag along, but starts running away from the rapid girls, who had quickly started to adore the little pink guy. But I don't think Marine Angemon was about to take that laying down."
****************************************************************************************
Kenta and Marine Angemon were heading over into some nearby bushes as a crowd of girls came running by. A sigh of relief came across both Kenta's and Marine Angemon's faces.
"There he is! That little thing is so cute! We need to like have our pictures taken with it!" a group of girls screamed.
"Oh crap!" Kenta exclaimed.
****************************************************************************************
"Then there's Matt and Mimi. Their son Dimitri has grown and is now six years old. They also had a daughter named Keke, who was at the age of five. She had the quick obsession of pink, much like her mother. Dimitri is older but he already has developed his mother's bratty attitude but the sheer toughness of his father. Matt was so proud of him and wishes for Dimitri to be just like him. Matt maybe my biggest rival I've ever had, but he sure makes a damn good father. His band has grown to be a huge success and frequently still continues to perform with his now married wife, Mimi, as the lead singer."
***************************************************************************************
While Gabumon and Dimitri were sparring with one another, Keke was picking flowers and admiring the beauty of the pink flowers. Keke had a striking resemblance of her young mother but has blue eyes much like her father's. She has a love for music, which definitely made her their daughter. Dimitri looked more like young TK, but with his father's slant-shaped eyes. Matt was sitting down and taking a rest while Mimi was tickling his nose with a flower.
***************************************************************************************
"Ryo managed to go on and compete in many digimon card tournaments since then. He officially retired and is still trying to look for his dream woman. Heh, good luck. But don't even go near, Rika. She already has a man of her own. However, I'm still trying to figure out his digimon, Cyberdramon. X has been telling me to keep an eye out on that creepy guy."
****************************************************************************************
Ryo rode onto Cyberdramon's back as they were soaring through the skies and finding a new adventure of their own. The mysterious dark voice started laughing within Cyberdramon.
"My time shall come, Omega X. Just you wait. I shall emerge and you will gaze upon you're ultimate challenge."
****************************************************************************************
"How could I forget the new hero? Takato has been praised ever since helping us defeat the D-Reaper. Rika and Takato have now been going out in high school. Though Rika doesn't like to admit it, but she has grown love for Takato and still acts like the same ol' digimon queen. However, Takato has been the only person to ever make Rika to admit her true feelings, which was a plus. That's our pupil. Renamon and Guilmon just see each other with a brother and sister type of relationship. As far as Guilmon was concerned, he was still that same ol' bread-loving doofus that everybody loves."
****************************************************************************************
Rika and Takato were walking alongside a bridge, where Rika playfully tripped Takato into a nearby pond. The goggle boy simply laughed and dragged Rika in for the hell of it. Rika looked like she was about to blow up, but she simply laughed and planted a kiss on Takato's cheek. The boy started to blush and sunk down into the water below.
"You better watch yourself next time, goggle brain."
"Heh. I know. Crap, these pants were just washed!"
****************************************************************************************
"Whew, talk about tough love. Speaking of love, Jeri also found love of her own. She attends the same high school as the other Tamers. Pikkan stays far off from any human contact as far as possible. She and Pikkan have been on and off with their relationship. Pikkan tried to keep a tough bastard image and tried hiding every shred of love. He might hate humans, but he's grown tremendous respect for Jeri. Her pure heart has allowed Pikkan to mellow just a bit. Though, I'd advise a warning to everyone. If you go near Jeri, be prepared to get you're ass kicked."
****************************************************************************************
Leomon sits near a tree meditating. Calumon looks on from above a tree over down at the couple. Pikkan looks on towards the sunset with Jeri standing at his side smiling.
"Aww, sweet innocent love," Calumon cooed.
****************************************************************************************
"Ai and Makoto are grown kids, but still enjoy many great adventures with Impmon. That little guy finally admitted that his hatred for humans was nothing but a delusional grudge. He often comes by and visits each of our digimon, just because he's Impmon. I've got to admit, I'm starting to actually like that little bugger."
***************************************************************************************
Ai and Makoto were both riding on their bicycles around the park with Impmon tagging along with Makoto. The little rookie sat on top of the boy's head and started to raise his arms up triumphantly.
"I'm the King of the World, baby!"
****************************************************************************************
"As for this Alice girl Takato and the others have been telling me about, I just want to thank her for allowing Dobermon to grant the Tamers the chance to bio-merge with their digimon. We wouldn't have stood a chance without Takato and the others in our battle. Though, I haven't personally met her, I'd like to send my gratitude. Thank you, Alice. As far as Mummymon was concerned, he turned out to be a hero in the digital world. He also was responsible in helping us defeat the D-Reaper. Now it seems Arukenimon has grown to accept Mummymon. Black Gatomon also decided to move in with the couple as their house cat. I must say Mummymon definitely has a heart of courage much like mine."
Mummymon was flexing out towards the crowd, as they were giving him an ovation that was able to top some of the most popular stars in the real world. Arukenimon finally was able to show pride for Mummymon's recent success. Black Gatomon was sitting on top of Mummymon's hat while giving out peace signs to the ever-cheering crowd.
"Yeah! Who's the man?! Who's the man?!"
****************************************************************************************
"I want to bring up Hypnos and the Monster Makers. I haven't heard much from them, but I do know Shibumi is working on a new set of cards. I'm looking forward to what new projects he has in the future. Yamaki halted his Juggernaut project for good. All I can say is thank god. He's learned the error of his ways. I'd also like to send my gratitude to him and the other Hypnos team. As for Dark Magimon, well you could say that he's enjoying the rest of his life in eternal digi limbo. I can just see him getting his ass whipped by King Devimon right about now."

Digital Limbo
Dark Magimon cries out and starts running across the barren landscape. King Devimon, sporting a halo, shoots down powerful blasts in order to get himself of the evil wizard. The devil king looked none too happy ever since Magimon betrayed him and was craving for payback. Now he gets to have his way with Magimon for all of eternity. Burizalor, Virus and the other deceased villains laugh away at the imp's antics.
"Ha-Ha!" Virus laughs out.
"Make that a double Ha-Ha!" replied Burizalor.
"Screw you guys! I'm getting the hell out of here!" Dark Magimon screams out.
"Respect my authority!" bellows King Devimon.

"Michael and Betamon are now making a big time success back in New York. Michael has already become a professional hockey player for the New York Islanders, plus Betamon has offered to be their leading mascot. But I don't think he would be big enough just yet. Oh well, back to the drawing board."
*****************************************************************************************
Michael goes shooting a perfect swing shot and starts holding up a fist in triumphant victory. Betamon was cheering on in the background.

"I'd also like to send thanks to those who helped us defeat Demon while the D-Reaper was kicking our asses. Again, I say: Thank you. We hope to know you're identities. I know for one thing that you've helped our cause."

Looking on towards the sunrise, nineteen-year old Yugi Muto holds his Millennium Puzzle proudly. An image of the pharaoh, Yami, appears before Yugi with a smile.
"We helped save the world, Yami. I'm proud of our efforts."

"And last but not least. It's down to Sora and me. Well what can I say? Sora and I have now been married for five years after a long-time relationship. We have a son of our own and his name is Max. He's about the same age as Keke, but this little guy has developed a sense of adventure much like my own and has the tender heart as his mother. I've already become a pro soccer player here in Japan and we've had our share of wins and losses, but I was the team's leading score man, which was a plus. Well, I better conclude this journal entry because I'm going out with my son and wife to see Dorothy. Dorothy's digimon has improved and that be greatly contributed to the fact that these two are the reincarnations of the two D-Reapers. This is Tai Kamiya saying peace out."
Tai stretches out his arms and turns to see Agumon looking right up at him.
"You ready, Tai?"
"As I ever will be. Let's go."
As soon as they headed out, they meet up with Sora, Max, and Biyomon at the front door. Max looked a bit like his father, but has his mother's crimson eyes and his father's trademark smirk. He was wearing a gray t-shirt, a pair of black running pants and tennis shoes.
"All right, let's go."
They soon got into their family car and started to head off towards the park. Because standing at the entrance was none other than Dorothy and Avengemon.
Tai parked his car and got out with his entire family. Dorothy smiled and walked right over to Tai. She was now fifteen years of age and looked as beautiful as ever. She now Sora's height and her gorgeous blonde hair was hung past her shoulders.
"Hey, Taichi. You finally came. So, are we ready for another training session?"
"Yeah. My wife is cool with it as along as we all make it back before dinner time."
"Dorothy! So, is Avengemon going to get any stronger soon?" asked Max.
"We'll see, little guy. He's definitely improved but we're still not at the level that Tai and Agumon are at. But we'll eventually become strong."
"Plus, you're welcome to join us for dinner afterwards, Dorothy," Sora said, "We've saved you a special seat."
"Thank you. You're very gracious."
As soon as Agumon warp-digivolved into War Greymon, he turned to face Avengemon as they gave each other a nod.
"Goodbye, Sora," Tai said as he kissed her. "We'll be back."
"Dad! Can I come this time around? Please can I?"
"Well… Let's ask your mother first."
"Can I mom?!"
"Sure, why not? Besides, you don't have any school this week. I'm with fine with as long as you simply watch the training and not get yourself involved."
"Awww, mom…"
"Don't 'mom' me," Sora teased.
Tai picks up Max and placed the boy next to him. War Greymon was getting ready to launch out towards the islands.
"Ready to go, Max?"
"Yeah! Lets go!"
"All right, War Greymon! We're ready!"
"Hang on tight!"
With that said, Dorothy hopped onto Avengemon's back as he and War Greymon both set off into the skies above and out towards the location of the secret training islands off the shores of Odaiba. Sora and Biyomon go looking on as they waved over.
"Have a good training session and come back before dinner time!"
As soon as both War Greymon and Avengemon were flying off, Tai, Max and Dorothy both looked down at the beautiful, blue oceans from below.
****************************************************************************************
Shintomon's Sacred Sancutary
Shintomon, X and Keke looked on graciously toward the crystal ball. A smile forms across the girl's face.
"Don't they look so happy, X?"
"Yes and that's the way they should be."
"Don't you think you ought to reveal you're identity to them, X?" Shintomon asked.
"Not yet, Shintomon. Time will tell when I shall reveal my identity. For now, I want Tai and the others to enjoy life. Max. You shall carry on your father's legacy…"
With that said, the masked warrior places his hand on the orb and a tear comes seeping through his mask. Keke takes notice of this and nods.
"Don't worry, Tai. Sora. Everyone else. You'll know my identity soon enough…"
****************************************************************************************
"So, are you ready to train, son?"
"Of course! I'm ready for anything! I want to get just as strong as you."
"All right! Lets get stronger, us! We're off on the start of a brand, new adventure," Tai cried out.
As soon as he said that, War Greymon and Avengemon both soared off into the sunrise ahead of them and towards the training islands. Just then, they saw two images ahead of them. Tai looks on and a smirk forms on his face.
"Matt. Long time no see, bud."
The figures were revealed to be Metal Garurumon and Matt. A smirk forms on the blonde young man's face.
"I told you that you owe me a rematch, Tai."
"Likewise."
"Oh cool! Matt and Tai's partners are going to go at it! This is something I want to see!" Max exclaimed.
"You just got you're wish," Dorothy replied.
Dorothy lends Max a hand and sets him onto Avengemon's back. Tai and Matt pointed out in command to their digimon partners. War Greymon and Metal Garurumon flew out to one another as the two attempted to finish the fight they never ended. Max looks on with excitement. War Greymon hurls his Terra Force, while Metal Garurumon spits out his Metal Wolf Claw. The two attacks collided with one another. Tai and Matt were pleased over the results. Now would be the perfect time to train each other to their power's limitations.
With no enemies to attempt to destroy the worlds, the Digi-Destined and the Tamers have taken advantage to the true time of peace. However, they would arise to stop whatever attempts to challenge their authority.
"And this is only the first step into a brand, new adventure…"

The Mystery of the Black Digicores! Taichi Kamiya Turned Back into a Kid?!
Earth
This is Earth, our home. Things have been pretty peaceful for the past five years and why shouldn't it? Ok, maybe a few conflicts in the world but that's never stopped us from moving on with our lives. By the way, my name is Tai Kamiya. I'm about to turn thirty in several months. Even at such an age, I still crave for more adventures.
Ever since we defeated the D-Reaper, each of us has managed to move on with each other's lives. But for me, it was just another new beginning. I wanted to go out and get some exercise and what a better way to do than to watch my son, Max, and War Greymon spar in one on one combat.
The skies were as beautiful as ever and the landscape was just as quiet. But that soon was not to be as several scatter shots came showering down from the skies. A armored digimon came soaring over the skies. He was equipped with gauntlets and his aura was glowing like never before.
This is War Greymon, the mega level form of Agumon. He's improved in his fighting abilities five years later. But he's never met a opponent as he's facing right about… now.
Suddenly, a young boy came flying out of nowhere as he started throwing punches at War Greymon. He had red eyes and a mixture of brown/auburn hair. Even an experienced fighter, such as War Greymon, was having a bit of a hard time keeping up with this resilient boy.
And this little guy is my son. His name is Max Tajiri Kamiya. Much like myself, he loves to fight and has a heart of courage. But much like his mother, his love helps guide him through battles.
Max jumps up and stares War Greymon down in mid-air. War Greymon raises his arms and forms an orange sphere. Max was prepared for the digimon's next attack.
"Terra Force!"
As soon as War Greymon threw the energy ball, Max held out his hands and started to push back on the Terra Force. Tai looked on with encouragement from the top of a nearby rock cliff.
"You can do it, Max! That's the way!"
With a new surge of energy erupting from within, Max screamed out and pushed the energy ball into the air. War Greymon watched as it came hurtling towards him, and quickly materialized out of the way. As soon as he looked down, he saw that Max was nowhere to be found. Just then, he felt a light tap and found Max on top of his head.
"Gotcha!"
"Again?! Man, I'm getting too old for this," muttered the mega digimon.
"Way to go, son! You're getting better at this. I can't believe how much your speed has improved. But you're a Kamiya."
"And a Kamiya never quits."
War Greymon and Max came hovering down to the ground as Tai came walking up towards them. Tai gave Max a light tap on his arm and commended them both for their impressive practice spar.
"Can we do this again tomorrow, dad? I think I'm getting the hang of this!"
"We'll see. You're already the strongest kid in the world. Soon, you might as well become the strongest human in the world by the end of the year."
"Aw, c'mon. You're just saying that dad."
"Hey, I'll tell you what. You're a lot stronger than any digimon were during our old days."
"Really? That's great hearing that from you."
"Yeah. Now what do you say we get back to meeting with the others. My stomach is calling out for a buffet!"
"I'm going to out eat you, dad!"
"Oh yeah! I'd pay to see that any day!"
Just then, a strange hovercraft came landing by. It was metallic blue with a glass covering on the front, but it seemed tinted. Tai and Max couldn't tell who would have been inside.
"I wonder who that is," Max said, "I can't sense anything from it."
"I don't know, but I'm going to check this out," said the Destined leader.
As soon as he was about to approach the hovercraft, a side door opened up and out came a very familiar face. It was none other than Koushiro Izumi, better known as Izzy.
"Izzy?! What are you doing here?"
"Ah! I'm glad I've found you, Tai! Did I just interrupt your training session?"
"No, no. We just finished up and getting ready to head off back home."
"Yeah and I'm going to out eat dad! How you doing, Izzy?" Max said.
"I'm doing just great, Max. Thanks for asking. Tai, there's something you should take a look at. Its something Talley and I have been constructing for nearly a year."
"Talley?"
Just as Tai said that, a shorthaired blonde came walking out. She came waving over to Tai and Max.
"Yeah, that's Izzy. He's been dating Talley, one of Yamaki's loyal Wild Bunch crewmembers. They've been working on this project together that might help increase a human's lifespan. Don't ask me how these two did it, but they have used technology to create themselves a real-life fountain of youth. That's a scientist for ya."
"So, show us this gizmo of yours, Izzy," Tai said, "I bet its something worth to look at."
"Oh you'll see."
Izzy went inside of the hovercraft and picks up a device much similar to that of a blender with a lava-lamp on the top. Tai and Max's eyes widened in utter shock as they witnessed the device that Izzy had been working on for a year.
"That… That's the experiment you two have been working on. Man, how hi-tech are you Hypnos geeks," Tai asked.
"What he said," Max replied.
"Well, we managed to put together a real life fountain of youth. We gathered up as much energy electrons from the former Juggernaut program. Then instead of it deleting digital beings in the process, we altered its process and we wanted to see if we could use its energy to lengthen a human's lifespan and help retain their youth."
"Um, he's talking all this techno crap too funny, dad," said Max.
"Speak English, Izzy," replied War Greymon.
"Don't mind him," said a funny voice.
The group turned to see Tentomon walking out of the hovercraft. The insect came flying over the machine.
"It's just as he put it out. Its a real life fountain of youth, with a few modifications to it."
"Right and we collected the last of D-Reaper's energy to help speed up the process," said Talley.
"Now you guys just stay here for a second. Talley, lets go get the manual to this thing," Izzy said.
The two bio-engineers went back into the hovercraft to grab the manual. Tai and Max examined the device with awe looks on their faces.
"So, dad. You think this thing can actually make a person's life longer and keep them from getting old at the same time. I don't buy into any of this."
"Well, let me tell you something about these scientists. Some are just too whacked to even give us any proof over this sort of thing. But I am a little curious."
"I wonder what's keeping them so long," Tentomon said, "I better so see if they misplaced that manual."
But just as Tentomon was about to fly towards the hovercraft, one of his legs accidentally tipped over the device. Tai and Max looked on as it fell to the ground. Izzy came walking out and tried to catch it. But it was all but too late. The device hit the ground and a green blast came shooting out. It nailed a direct hit on Tai and the young man's body was covered in a green column.
"Dad! What's happening to you?!"
"Tai!" War Greymon exclaimed.
"Oh no! I was afraid something like this would happen," Izzy said.
As soon as the light faded away and the green column disappeared, Tai stood with a dumbfounded look on his face. But he was different. He had shrunk down to about the size of a boy and his manly features had all but disappeared.
"Hey, what just happened to… Oh crap!"
Max, Izzy, Talley, Tentomon and War Greymon all gave shocked expressions on their faces. What they were seeing before them was the younger version of Tai. He looked about eleven years old. He was now the age of when he first visited the digital world.
"Tell me that I'm dreaming. Tell me that this just didn't happen."
"Tai. You better take a look at yourself," Izzy said.
Tai walked over towards the hovercraft's front window and looked at his reflection. His first reaction was something that managed to echo throughout the whole island. A horrifying scream was that very sound that shook the island.
"Dad! You're a kid again! Looks like that thing does work! You could be a millionaire, Izzy! Now change him back."
"One problem. I can't. It fell and it's broken."
Tai and Max gasped in shock with Tai falling down unconscious.
"Oh boy. What am I going to tell mom about this? She's going to freak when she finds out," Max said.
"Don't worry. We'll tell her everything and I'm sure she'll understand."
"Believe me. She won't," said Tai, who just reawakened himself.
"Don't worry, dad! At least, you're young again!"
"If only, you're mother could say the same thing."
*****************************************************************************************
Shibuya Park
The busy city of Shibuya looked very beautiful from a further location, but it was simply another hellhole once approached. Traffic was just as horrible on the usual working days. However, it wasn't as bad as Tokyo or New York City. Those are even worse.
Luckily there were a few who took advantage of this hectic day and decided to take a nice stroll through the park. There were many couples finding refuge to get away from all of those busy schedules. The same couldn't be said for a certain pre-teen boy and a girlfriend of his.
The boy was wearing a green cap, which of course was backwards. There was a pair of goggles on that cap. His shirt is yellow-orange with an emblem logo on the front. Around his shirt were a red vest and a pair of gloves on his hands. His pants were brown cargos and his shoes were a mix of red and orange with white laces in between them.
The girl was wearing a light lavender hat with blue streaks at the bottom. Her shirt was striped with a mix of blue and white. Her vest and shirt were the same color as her hat. Her shoes were a mix of light lavender, blue and white. Her hair is blonde and was coming straight down past her shoulders. Her green emerald eyes were locked towards the heavens.
"Isn't it just beautiful, Takuya?"
"Sure is if you like red and purple. The sun is about to set."
"What? You want to go home already?"
"No, it's not that."
"Oh?"
"Zoe. I need to ask you something."
"What is it, Takuya?"
"Do you ever miss being a digimon?"
"Kind of, why do you ask?"
"No reason. It's been almost a year since we've been to the Digital World and saved it from Lucemon."
"Yeah, but look on the bright side, at least we stopped a maniac from destroying our home."
"Yeah, but who would have forgotten what happened five years ago."
"Our planet was destroyed and we were all revived back. It was as if a miracle had just taken place. I'm grateful. Now I was able to fully mature into the cute blonde girl you see today."
"You sure love being so full of yourself, do ya?"
"Not entirely true. I'm just proud of who I've become. Remember, I was the legendary of mind. Thank you, very much!"
"Yeah? Well, I was the warrior of flame."
"Big difference. So, what do you think about me?"
"You?"
"Yeah. You can be honest. I swear I won't get mad."
"Really? You're not too sensitive about these things? I've never really been on a date until a few months ago."
"I wouldn't really call it a date, just a get together."
"Same thing."
"Whatever. So, what do you think about me?"
"Well… I…"
"Yes?"
Takuya looked deeply into Zoe's eyes and was slightly blushing from her cute face. The boy gulps and felt rather edgy. A girl like Zoe before has never approached him. Clouds began to cover his mind and he couldn't think of anything that would sound pleasing to a girl.
"What am I suppose to tell her? It's too soon. She knows that. I know that."
"I'm waiting, Takuya Kanbara."
"Zoe."
"Yeah?"
"I think you're a really cute girl with a good sense of humor and pretty eyes. There…"
"Is that all?"
"Well, what am I supposed to say? You want me to get into further detail?"
"No, you don't have to if you don't want to. I won't hold anything against you. I completely understand."
"What was I supposed to say anyway? I've been in tighter spots, but this one's a toughie."
Unfortunately, the sun was ready to set and dusk would soon break out. Curfew for Takuya and Zoe was about to begin within another hour or so. They made a good decision to leave the park a little early to go about the market squares to pass the time.
Takuya and Zoe were walking alongside each other, but were sort of turned away. They didn't even make eye contact with one another.
"Maybe it was a little too soon," Zoe thought.
"Man, why am I so edgy with Zoe? I can't even express my feelings for her. No, because I would sound like some stupid, hopeless romantic."
Unknown to Takuya, his cell phone was emitting a faint red aura and an incoming message was coming from an unknown source. The message read You must return to the Digital World. It's urgent. Takuya took notice of his cell phone and pulls it out.
"Hey, Zoe!"
"What is it?"
"I think you should check this out."
The goggle boy handed the blonde his cell phone and she gasped slightly.
"You don't mean?"
"It looks like it, Zoe. We were needed back again. I knew it was too good to be true."
****************************************************************************************
Odaiba. Taichi & Sora Kamiya Residence
"WHAT?!"
The entire house shook under its core as Sora's eyes widened. She looked down at her husband, who was now twice as younger than she was. Max stood next to him. TK and Kari had just arrived as they peered down at the youthful Tai. Their kids, Tike and Kara, were over in the other room playing video games and cursing as usual.
"Shit! I can't believe you beat me again!" Tike exclaimed.
"It's not my fault I'm that damn good," said Kara. "Want me to kick your ass again?"
"This time it's going to be you that gets their ass kicked!"
"I've really got to do something about those potty mouths," TK thought.
"Look on the bright side, mom. At least, you have two kids."
"Oh no! What are we going to do when the whole Digi-Destined gets here?! Today is the reunion dinner!"
"It's today?!" Tai, Max and Agumon asked in unison.
"You three forgot? Oh, what am I going to do," Sora said.
"Don't worry, Sora. Since it was an accident, I'm pretty sure Izzy will tell everybody about it," Biyomon said.
"You're right. I was just overreacting just a bit there. Sorry. Ok, this dinner is going to still going to take place. Now, you three better be on your best behavior. You know what. I might actually like this, Tai. But, at the same time, I won't."
"Don't worry, Sora. At least the other guys will get jealous when they get a look at the new and improved me!"
Keke is coming to the dinner! I can't wait to see her!"
"So, tell me, Max," Tai said nudging his son's shoulder. "You got a crush on her?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"Oh don't play dumb, Romeo. You go all goo-goo eye over that girl. Just say that you like her."
"Ok! I like her! And maybe I do go goo-goo eyed for her!"
"Now, see? You didn't have to hide it. But remember, in order to get the lady to like ya, you have to stay on her good side and let her know how you feel about her."
"Dad?! Shut up! You don't think I'm going to do that?!"
"Hehe. I don't know. By the time this dinner is over, you'll be Max 'The Playa' Kamiya."
"Dad! I'm only five and a half!"
"And growing up quickly. C'mon you gotta take a chance on her."
"Well, ok. I'll give a shot! I'm The Playa!"
"That's my boy! So, what do you think, Sora?"
"Tai, if he ends up like you, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself."
"Then again, we could always use the digicores to restore you're age, Tai" Kari said. "You know you probably wanted it this way. You are going to turn thirty within the next few months."
"Well, I really did like being an adult, but I get a kick for being a kid again. I can spend more time with Max!"
"Yeah, it's be nice if we were kids again, Kari," TK said.
"No kidding. That would be so awesome."
"Ok, so we'll go to the Digital World and borrow Azulongmon's digicores," Tai said. "It's a piece of cake."
"I'm afraid not, Tai."
Everyone around the room were stunned by the sudden voice and looked around to find the source of that loud voice. Tai easily recognized the voice from none other than X himself.
"Hey, X! How's everything been?"
"Nothing much. We're just chilling out and watching you're world. Everything's been cool, but I did notice you had a 'little' accident."
"Yeah, but we're planning to go to the Digital World to borrow the digicores."
"I'm afraid I have some bad news to report. As of today, Azulongmon has informed me that the digicores have become inactivate. Every thousands of millennia, these digicores are said to lose its luster unless they are recharged."
"So, we can't use the digicores? That really bites ass," Tai said.
"How long does this recharge period take?"
"Well, TK. I was told they would recharge for one full earth year."
"What?! I have a whole year to remain as a kid? Well, at least I have more time to spend with Max. That means no more work! Whoo hoo!"
"But I have a solution to this problem," another voice responds.
"Shintomon! It's also good to hear from you," Agumon said. "How's the planet doing?"
"Well, everything is still pretty much finished. You guys pretty much trashed up our planet when you battled the D-Reaper. Now we realize the problem of you're situation and there is a way to restore you're age Tai."
"Really? How?!"
"There are another pair of digicores and they're found within the Western sector of the Digital Universe. We've found the pinpoint location and this is the sector we thought was destroyed altogether. There is one planet left in that sector and it's been reformatted since a year ago."
"So, there's only one planet in that sector?" asked Kari. "Wait, I remember you said that one sector was completely wiped out and this one's it?"
"Yes, Hikari. We were very fortunate to know that a planet remained. We know for a fact that the black digicores are there. You guys are to meet me back on my planet, but I'll come to you in a short while. Now listen, this is very important issue and it concerns these digicores. They are called the Black Digicores. They are to be collected at once and here's the kick. If you use up a wish from these cores, they must be returned to that exact same planet before the year expires. If they are not returned to the planet they were used, then that planet will go off with a bang and I mean LITERALLY go boom."
"Whoa! That's not good," said TK. "Well, Tai. We've got our hands full."
"Don't worry. We'll get these digicores," Max replied. "You can count on it."
"Thanks, Max. All right, Shintomon. X. When shall we begin?"
"We'll let you know on further detail. Until then, enjoy a relapse of childhood,"X replied.
"Well, gee, thanks a lot. Well, guys. We're dealing with another new adventure."
"I'm all up for it, dad!"
"The sooner the better, guys. Then again, I can relive my childhood memories and spend time with Max. Another adventure! Wow! I can't wait to tell Takato about this. He'll flip!"
*****************************************************************************************
Shibuya Train Station
Takuya and Zoe were replying to Ophanimon's messages through the cell phone. She had already informed them on the same Black Digicores.
"So, we're to find these Black Digicores and bring them to you?"
"Yes, Lucemon had scattered them many, many millennia ago in hopes of ridding anyone's chances of using them to destroy him. Now, with Lucemon gone forever, we'll need the Black Digicores. Unfortunately, higher beings like ourselves can't touch them or we'll die. They are not meant to be touched by being such us ourselves. We would really appreciate it, legendary warriors. I shall inform the other children about this. We'll be looking forward to seeing you once again. Fare thee well, children."
Takuya looks over to Zoe and nods his head. The girl replied with a smile.
"You know what this means do ya?" Zoe said.
"Yep. It's back to the Digital World we go!
With Tai reverted into child form, he and his friends have been informed about the Black Digicores. They are to enter the Western Sector and retrieve them. However, they'll more likely have a little competition. Ophanimon has now informed Takuya and Zoe of the situation concerning the Black Digicores. Just whom are the cores really meant for? Tai's unfortunate regression or the holy angel's wishes?

[Preview]
Tai: Hiya! It's me, Tai! Shintomon has summoned myself, Max, Keke, Takato, Rika, Kari and Davis to the Central Planet. Looks like we're hitching a ride on a spaceship! Man, I'm looking forward to this trip!
Takato: Hey, does this ship come with a portable refrigerator?
Tai: You'll get to see some familiar faces along the way and several new faces. Just who are these kids with Takuya and what purpose do they serve in this Digital World?
Takuya: It's back to the Digital World, guys! Let's move out!
Kari: Next time on Digimon Fusion Frontier, episode two!
Blast Off to the Western Sector! Introducing the Frontier Digi-Destined!
Max: Don't you miss it!
*****************************************************************************************
SSJ4T: That was a short chapter but that's a little prologue of what to expect for the next chapter. The season will get better as the chapters pass through. Originally, I was going to have Dimitri go with them, but I chose Keke in order to keep max company. Besides, he'd feel lonely without her. Oh and don't expect any fusion warriors for a little while either. I want to try to keep the power levels balanced between our groups.
Coral: I can't wait until Tai's group eventually meets with the Frontier gang.
SSJ4T: It'll be interesting to see which side do the Black Digicores really belong to. We might see a little quarrel over the Black Digicore possession. Anyway, be sure to also check out the second chapter of my YuGiOh/Digimon fic. Until then, we're out of time!
Coral: So you guys peace out and take it easy! Ciao!

Blast Off to the Western Sector! Introducing the Frontier Digi-Destined!
Elsewhere within Odaiba
A school bus drops off a group of children after a long heinous day of studying. The kids were excited to know that they have the remaining weekend off. Anybody in their right mind would embrace the two day weekend as freedom from prison.
Looking on from across the street is a little boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a gray long-sleeve shirt with black pants and tennis shoes. He looked to be about five years old and next to him is a smaller, strawberry-haired girl with eyes blue as the heavens. She was wearing a white shirt to along with her pink skirt. The girl looks up to the boy who happened to be her older brother.
"Dimitri. Don't you think we ought to see Max now? I'm so anxious to see him!"
"Take it easy, Keke."
"No. I really want to see, Max. Besides, I don't mom and dad mind if we go over to his family's home."
"Well…"
"It never hurts to try."
"But…"
"Please… Just this once."
Keke gives Dimitri an innocent, child-like glare and slightly starts putting on a cutesy act. Dimitri simply could not resist this and eventually gave in to his sister's request.
"All right, it never hurts to try to go over without our parent's consolation."
"Yay! Thanks, Dimitri. You're the best!"
With that said, Keke rushes down the street and was happy to finally see Max after many months. Even though they live in the same town, they go to different schools. Max attends Odaiba Elementary, while Keke attends an all-girl private school. It's been nearly four months since she's really seen Max.
"Mom and Dad are going to kill me when they find out. They shouldn't be going out alone like this."
"C'mon, slowpoke! I'll race you!"
"Keke! Wait!"
The girl starts off by running down the street with incredible inhuman speed. Dimitri quickly rushes after her in hopes of catching up with his speedy sister. Keke hops over a fence and slides down a construction pipe. The girl giggled along the way down.
"Keke! Hold on! You're going to get hurt!"
"Whee! This is fun! You ought to have a sense of adventure, Dimi!"
"She's nuts! Wait! And the name's Dimitri!"
The older boy slides down the same pipe and manages to catch up with Keke. He extends a hand out to reach for her, but smashed against a steel wall. Keke jumps up into the air after sliding off the end of the pipe and lands safely onto patch of grass.
"Hey, let's do that again, Dimitri! Um, big brother?"
The girl finds her brother pinned against a steel wall with a smashed face and a broken nose. Keke simply giggles at her brother's antics.
"C'mon, Dimitri. Quit trying to act silly. There's still plenty of time to see Max. We can't afford to waste! Let's go!"
"How do I end up on the wrong end of the stick? Dimitri thought.
Kamiya Residence
The whole family had settled down after hearing the revelation, which X and Shintomon had informed of. Max, Tike and Kara are seen watching a Gundam program, while Takato is seen talking on the telephone. Guilmon was eating a loaf of bread, as usual.
Over at the kitchen table, Tai, Agumon, Kari, Gatomon, TK and Patamon were seen discussing about the new mission. It has been nearly five years since their last crazy adventure. Sora is seen preparing a meal with Biyomon.
"So Shintomon and X have a ship prepared for us?" Gatomon asked.
"Yeah. I can't wait until we get to go into the farthest parts of the Digital Universe. This will be an awesome experience!" Tai exclaimed. "These five long years have been boring as hell."
"What about your job, Tai?" Kari asked. "Then again, they wouldn't believe a kid."
"I'm not too worried about that. My wife called in to let them know that I was called on an important expedition. Hey, Sora! What did you tell them?"
"That you have a long case of liver problems," she replied. "Plus, I also told them that you're a hemophilic."
Everyone sitting at the table fell backwards at the excuses Sora made for Tai's absence from work. Tai couldn't believe his ears. He was a healthy man, who barely ha any health problems.
"Thanks a lot, Sora. I really needed that," Tai muttered. "Couldn't you have thought of a less extreme condition? Maybe like the chicken pox or something?"
"No, I doubt a grown man would ever got such a child's disease."
"Oh boy…"
"Look on the bright side, Tai. At least you have a good excuse to go on this journey. I can't wait to see this Digital World for myself," Agumon said.
"He's right. It just never hurts to go out and explore the farthest regions of the Digi-Verse," TK replied. "As a matter of fact, who's going on this expedition?"
"Well, I know I have to go," Tai said. "Agumon is in as well."
"I'd like to go but I have cleaning to do," Sora said.
"Don't tell me you've lost you're sense of adventure," Tai bragged. "It'll be like the old days."
"Don't mind her, Tai," Biyomon said. "You're a kid again. It's pretty obvious you'd take this offer, but Sora's already grown up. Don't take it personal."
"Kind of a bummer. You don't know what you're missing, Sora," her husband said.
"You can count me in too!" Takato calls out.
"That's great! You see! I knew someone would see it my way!" Tai said.
"I'm going too and we'll be sure to bring lots of bread!" Guilmon exclaimed. "Oh and Takato told me Rika's volunteered to come."
"So it's down to me, Rika and Takato. I wonder who else will come."
Tai looks across the room and turns his attention to TK. A grin forms on the boy's face.
"How about you, TK? You'd really help us out."
"Sure! I'd like to go-"
"Wait a second!" Tike and Kara hollered.
"Oh boy. I forgot. I was supposed to take them to the Odaiba Theme Park," TK said.
"That just blows our chances. Since Kari has been spending time with the kids, TK's had his hands full at work," Patamon said. "So, that would mean…"
"I'd be happy to go!" Kari replied. "Yeah, I'd like to experience another adventure like the old days."
"But, mommy…" Tike and Kara pouted.
"Look, I think it's fair you two should spend time with you're father. His work has really kept him away from home. Besides, he has the whole week off to spend time with you. Don't worry. Mommy is going to have lots of fun."
"I better bring my scratching posts for the long trip and balls of yarn," Gatomon said.
"Well, whatever makes you happy, mom. We understand," said Kara. "Just don't give Uncle Tai a hard time."
"Me give him a hard time? I think that's the other way around."
Kari pats her miniature brother on the head and squeezes his cheeks. Tai struggles to break free from his sister's death grip.
"My cheeks! Hey, just because you're bigger than me, doesn't make give you any right to lord over me."
"Well, I've got to straighten you up sometime. I'll be taking care of another kid."
"Kid!"
"I've got to admit it, dad. It's great to have a another brother," Max said. "We're going to have lots of fun!"
"It's settled then. It's down to me, Takato, Kari and Rika. I think we'll need a few more volunteers to join us. From what Shintomon told me, the ship can only hold up as much as seven people and some digimon."
"We could ask Davis," Takato said.
"Huh! Davis!" TK exclaimed.
"I don't think Sonja would let him go off for such a long time. You know how she is," Kari said.
"I'll tell you one thing, his wife would kick his ass," Tai replied. "I can just see it now."
"Ok, then! I've finally made my decision!" Max exclaimed.
Everyone stopped to look down upon the son of Tai & Sora Kamiya. The boy grinned innocently as he made his startling announcement.
"If dad goes, then I'm going too!" Max exclaimed.
"That's great, honey. As a matter- WHAT!" Sora screamed.
"You heard me, mom. I'm going to go with dad and Aunt Kari! I'm not just going to sit at home."
"But what about school? You'll fall behind."
"So what? School is boring anyway. I want to go and take an adventure like how you and dad used to take."
"But there's terrible monsters out there," Kari said. "You surely wouldn't want to go through with that."
"Why not!"
"Hey, I'm cool with it," Tai replied.
"What? Have you lost it, Tai! Sora asked.
"No. I'm serious. I'd like to have Max accompany us. He's never had the experience to encounter one of our adventures. It'll be almost reliving the olds days."
"Go for it, Max!" Tike said. "You're the fucking man!"
"Yeah! You're going to kick those monster's asses!" exclaimed Kara.
"Hey, what did I tell you two about the language!" TK exclaimed.
"At this rate, they'll be delinquents at age seven," Patamon thought.
Meanwhile, Matt and Gabumon were seen at the bus spot where Dimitri and Keke were supposed to have been dropped off. The male slaps himself in the forehead.
"Damn! They were supposed to have waited here like I told them. Why can't they just listen for once?"
"Don't mind them, Matt. They're children."
"They're out there lost! How can I live with that!"
"Don't worry. They know their way home. Besides, I'm always there when they need me."
"You're right. Ok, Gabumon. Can you pick up the scent of where they've fled?"
Gabumon began sniffing the air and immediately picks up the scent of the siblings.
"Right this way towards the construction area."
"They must have gone to see Max. Well, at least, we know where they're at. Let's go!"
Shibuya Park
Takuya Kanbara and Zoe Orimoto had gathered the other Digi-Destined to discuss the matters concerning Ophanimon's latest message. Sitting across them are a group of four boys. One of which was wearing a blue jumpsuit lined up with yellow stripes at around his sleeves. Another boy was short and wore a large, orange hat. The other two happened to be brothers. One was wearing a blue long-sleeve with a white t-shirt underneath. He also was wearing a blue bandana and white tennis shoes. The other brother was wearing a green long-sleeve with a red t-shirt underneath. He also was wearing a blue cap and a pair of tennis shoes.
"So, what's this all about, Takuya?" the boy in the blue jumpsuit asked.
"If you only had some patience we would explain it a little better, JP," Zoe said.
"Ophanimon really needs us again?" the little boy with the large hat said.
"Yeah, Tommy. She mentioned something about four Digicores found in the Digital World. According to her, they were supposed to have been used to slay Lucemon. Since these cores are so rare, the three angels are not supposed to even touch them. It would kill them. So they asked us, since anything not a digimon can touch them."
"Well, we technically are digimon," the brother with the blue bandana replied.
"But we are also human, Kouji. We're sort of like hybrids," the other brother stated. "In fact, I heard Cherubimon tell me about these cores once when I was working for him."
"You did? Did he mention anything on its origins?" Takuya pondered.
"No. He didn't seem too concerned about them at the time. At least we know they're found in the Digital World," Kouichi said.
"That settles it then," Zoe said. "We're going back!"
"But, how?" JP asked. "We don't even know our way ba-"
"Hello! Remember how we first went to the Digital World? By train of course. According to Ophanimon's message, the secret underground Trailmon passage was repaired after the incident with Lucemon. We can use the Trailmon from there and we'll be back in the Digital World."
"And I just got six passes for each of us? Now, am I good or what?" Zoe said.
"You're a life saver, Zoe," Takuya replied. "Pack you're bags, guys. We're going back to the Digital World!"
"I better pack my Gameboy games," Tommy said.
"I better pack my chocolate," replied JP.
"Back to the Digital World we go. Well I'm interested to know a little more about these Digicores. I'm still not convinced as to whether or not they are even worth it," Kouji thought.
Just arriving over at the Kamiya residence was none other than Keke and Dimitri. The boy was fixing up the bruises on his face as Keke rang the doorbell.
"Hey, take it easy."
"Sorry, I don't know the meaning behind easy."
"Dimitri! Keke!" a man's voice calls out.
Both siblings' eyes widened as they slowly turned to find their father smiling upon them.
"Dad! I can explain!" Dimitri said.
"There's no need. You should have just told me to drop you off here," Matt replied. "Keke, did you really wanted to see Max?"
"Yeah. It's only fair I get to see him. I haven't done so in months."
Suddenly, the door opens and Keke turns to find Max opening it. Max looks across at Keke and a smile forms on his innocent face.
"Keke!"
"Max!"
The kids rushed over to each other and hugged one another. Tai walks over to find Matt. Matt had been informed about the recent accident that occurred with Tai.
"You enjoying you're relapse of childhood, Tai?" Matt asked. "Heh, I'd never thought I'd see this happen."
"Heh, I'm really happy to be a little munchkin again."
"I hear you're going on this journey to a new Digital World. Am I right?"
"Yeah. We'd be honored if you'd like to join us. What do you say?"
"Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to continue training with Gabumon. Remember, you still owe me a clean one on one confrontation. Our fight was unfinished from the last time."
"Yeah, I agree. Don't worry. We'll have our little one on one after we get back. You can count on it."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Tai! Can you hear me!"
"Yeah, X. I hear ya. How's the ship coming along?"
"You'll have to meet me here on Shintomon's planet. Don't worry. I'm going to have him open a gateway into your world. I insist to get everyone together. The ship is ready and rearing to go."
"Cool. I'll let them know right away. Thanks for everything, X."
"My pleasure and tell Max I said my regards."
"I will."
"What's up dad?" Max asked.
"Heh, you're dad is almost as tall as you are Max," Keke giggled.
Both Max and Tai looked away in shy embarrassment. The entire group started laughing at Keke's comments.
"Dad, so what's the deal? Are we leaving already?"
"Ok, guys. Listen up. X had just informed me that the ship is ready to go and it can only support enough room for almost seven people and some digimon."
"All we have to do is wait for Rika to come," Takato said. "Man, I just hope we miss enough school."
"There's no need to wait, because I see Rika coming now!"
"Where?"
"Over here, goggle head," a girl's voice muttered.
Takato turns around and manages to face Rika standing in front of him. Takato was more than happy to see his girlfriend.
"You came in the nick of time. But how did you get all the way here in such a short time?"
Rika points over towards the front door. Everyone turns to find Shintomon standing at the doorway waving to the entire group.
"Whoa, he sure is a fast one," Max said.
"I see you've put teleportation to much better use, Shintomon," Tai said.
"Yes. So, are we all set to go? The ship is prepared on my home planet."
"Yeah, but we're missing one…"
"You have another volunteer that's willing to come?"
"Yeah and we've chosen Davis," Tai replied. "Besides, TK has his hands full with the kids. I'm also allowing my son to go, too."
"If Max's going, then I'm going with him too!" Keke exclaimed.
"Keke! Are you nuts?" Dimitri asked with worry.
"No… Besides, I have Max to protect me. Right, my little Maxy?"
The boy slightly blushed towards the girl's comments and nudged his head. Keke giggles and ruffles his hair.
"I'm fine if Max and Tai are going," Matt replied. "Besides doesn't this Digital World run by the same rules and standards as our own used to be? A day there would be a minute here."
"Yes. You don't have to worry. This Digital World is set at a different time frame. It runs by the time you're Digital World used to follow. After Burizalor's demise many years, the effects of his Genocide Armageddon changed the time frame in you're Digital World."
"Yeah, I remember you told me that, Shintomon," Kari said. "Looks like you kids won't have to miss school after all."
"Ah, crap!" Max and Keke exclaimed.
"It's settled then! All we have to do is wait for Davis and we're rearing to go!" Tai said.
"That's if his wife will let him go," Matt responded. "You know how she is."
"Don't you worry! I'll convince her," TK said. "You sure you'll be fine without me, Kari?"
"I'll be just fine."
"Ok."
"Remember I am among the strongest elite of this planet," she replied. "Mystic Celesta will help save the day…"
"That's what I'm afraid of. I fear there might be dangers that could overwhelm her," TK thought.
"Ok, guys! Let's get our things packed and we'll meet back at Shintomon's planet! Max. Let's get packing! Matt, you ought to help get Keke ready."
"Right."
"Hey, Max!" Dimitri calls out. "Take good care of my sister, dude."
"I promise I'll protect her."
"I know you will."
With that pact made, the two boys slapped each other's hands together and shook on it.
"This is going to be so much fun!" Keke cheered.
"You have everything you need, Rika?" Takato asked.
"Sure do. Fortunately Shintomon was able to speak with my mom and grandma."
"Um, not to be a nag or anything, but where's Renamon?"
"She's over with X on Shintomon's planet. It seemed she needed some questions to be answered."
"About what?"
"Not sure, but Renamon was very secretive about it. Now, are you going to help with the luggage, goggle head?"
"You're not bringing much…"
Takato was surprised by the amount Rika was bringing. The only items she was bringing is a large bag full of her usual tomboy outfits, a medical kit, some snacks, her digimon deck and a couple of other important items for their long trip.
"Luckily I brought my digimon deck," Takato said. "How about a little one on one during our trip? I've gotten a lot better."
"Show me what you've got, goggle head. I'm curious to know how much you've improved. I've been preparing the day to finally duel you."
"Wow. We need some digimon cards too, dad!" Tike said.
"We want some cards! We want some cards!" Kara cries out enthusiastically.
"Ok. Ok. As long as you be on you're best behavior."
"Deal!"
"Kids…"
"Sora. You sure you didn't want to go with us?" Tai asked. "You'll be missing out on the fun."
"Yeah. I'll be fine, Tai. You and Max go have some fun. You'll enjoy it. But do get some pictures on you're trip. Ok? I'd love to have some souvenirs."
"Sure. We'll leave that job to Kari."
"You can count on some really good quality pictures. You know I should have been a photographer."
"Well, we're almost set Shintomon. Tell us more about this Digital World."
"I can tell you one thing. Instead of a Sovereign, there are three Celestial Digimon who watch over it. They are Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon."
"Three celestial angels, huh? This ought to be something. I can't wait!"
Shibuya 'Underground Train Station'
Takuya and the gang were each prepared with their luggage. This time they were prepared for what they were going to experience. The kids are returning to the world they've single handedly saved.
"Here comes ol' Trailmon!" Takuya cries out.
With that said, the worm Trailmon, which Takuya raced came chagrining through and made a complete stop. He quickly took notice of Takuya.
"Hey, kid! How's it hanging!"
"Chilling? How about you?"
"Burning through these roads and making stops. You know the usual. So, you kids ready to go?"
"You bet!" the children exclaimed in unison.
As soon as they said that, Trailmon opened the door for them. They gathered up their luggage and went inside to make themselves comfortable.
"Oh yeah. I know I've packed enough chocolate to last me a whole week," JP said.
"You excited as I am, Tommy?" Takuya asked.
"Mmhmm. You bet. I'm excited to see Ophanimon and the angel digimon."
"Now let's make sure not to get into any fights," Zoe said. "Right Kouji?"
Huh?"
"That goes for you too, Takuya."
"Hey! What are you looking at me for?"
"I'm just giving you a warning. Somebody has to be here to mother you boys."
"Hopefully, she doesn't become a nag like my mother," Takuya thought.
"Heh. I just love teasing Takuya like that," thought Zoe.
"All right, kids! I'm rearing to go! Hang on tight!"
Trailmon closed all doors and started to make a u turn towards the exit tunnel. The children held tightly to make sure that they wouldn't fall off like the last time.
"Next stop the Digital World!" Trailmon announced.
The children waited in anticipation, as they were about to embark on yet another adventure in the Digital World to relive old memories and unite with old friends. It was sure going to be something not to miss. What they didn't know was that they were going to have company along the way. Will Takuya and his friends consider them friend or foe?
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
The planet was repaired over the years since the post battle with the D-Reaper. Shintomon has promised to become more responsible as far as his duties were concerned. Even though, Gosenzomon was there to help guide the young lad.
Shintomon points over to the spaceship. The Digi-Destined looked on with awe. The ship was massive. It had a large glass roof chamber, silts to help support it's stance and a futuristic look to it. However, it was the inside that was going to flip their lids.
"Wow! So this is it?" Tai asked. "We never get any of these back home!"
"How magnificent!" Agumon said. "Hey, Tai. I bet you there's a lot of food inside!"
"There's enough food to last you months," Shintomon replied. "We figured you'd get hungry over the long trip."
"Whew, I'm kind of glad Tike and Kara aren't going. They would have eaten the place dry," Max said.
"This is so cool! Just think we'll be sitting together, Max!" Keke replied.
"Yeah! You're really excited are you?"
"To be with you? Of course, silly!"
"So this is the ship we're riding in? Cool! Hey, I'm glad you're letting me go with them, babe," Davis said as he turned to face Sonja.
The artificial girl has changed over the years. She's not as cool-hearted as she used to be. She cut her hair down to shoulder-length.
"Sure. Besides, I'm helping David train. Is that you wanted me to do?"
"Well, just go easy on him. He's a tough kid, but just don't go overboard. Ok?"
"Yeah. You be careful Davis and be on you're best behavior."
"Don't worry. I'll keep a watch over Davis," Veemon. "I'll make sure he doesn't make a move on K-"
Davis quickly places a hand over Veemon's mouth to shut him up. Sonja took notice of this with a quirked eyebrow.
"He must be going crazy or something, babe. Don't worry. We'll be fine."
Davis walks over and plants a farewell kiss on Sonja and waves to her.
"He's really unpredictable, isn't he?" Gosenzomon asked.
"He's my husband, so yeah."
Just then, Gosenzomon was peeping down Sonja's black skirt and his face starts turning red.
"Oh, I'd like to explore those ruins down there."
With that said, Sonja delivers an elbow shot to Gosenzomon's face. The artificial dusted her hands off and turned away smiling.
"You may be a higher power, but always treat a lady with respect."
"Yeah… I… learned that the hard way… I deserved… that."
Everyone from the group was laughing it off as Shintomon cleared his throat.
"Are you guys ready to go? Deportation is ready in a few minutes."
"Let's get going dad," Max said. "I'm really anxious to go!"
"C'mon, Davis! Veemon! We're leaving!" Kari calls out.
"Um, I'm coming!" he replies.
"Yeah! You don't want to leave us behind!"
As soon as everyone of the passengers got on board, Shintomon and Gosenzomon double checked the craft to correct any defunct.
The crew was simply awed at the mount of technology found inside the ship. Some of which put even earth's military technology to shame.
"Damn! This is so cool! It's like we're on Star Trek!" Takato exclaimed.
"Star Trek?" Guilmon asked.
"It's a show about these space pioneers traveling through the galaxy. Don't get it mixed up with Star Wars," Rika replied.
"I always figured which movie that dark helmet guy was from."
"I think you were watching Spaceballs, boy," Takato said.
Suddenly, Renamon appears within the shi, much to the surprise of everyone within the ship.
"Renamon! We were wondering when you would have shown up," said Tai.
"Better late than never," replied Max.
"I'm sorry. I had to speak with X on an important matter. I'll fill you all in a little later."
"Right. We're about to be sent off in a few short minutes," Kari said.
"All right! T-Minus one minute! We're almost set for blast off!" Shintomon calls out.
"We better hang on tight! If anything, it's going to be a bumpy ride!" Tai exclaimed.
Guilmon notices a button over towards the front passenger's seat and reads a button reading launch.
"Mmm. Yeah! I could go for some lunch!"
"Wait! Did you say lunch?" Takato asked.
"Wait. He just went up to the cockpit… OH SHIT!" Tai and Max exclaimed. "Don't push that button…"
However, they were too late to stop the reptile digimon. Guilmon had already pressed button and the ship was quickly set for launch. The ship's thrusters threw both higher powers off of their feet.
"Oh crap! They must have pressed the launch button!" Shintomon said.
"Ha! It was Guilmon. He actually thought the ship would serve him up some lunch," Gosenzomon replied. "Heh. That little whippersnapper is so naïve."
"X. They've been deployed for their mission," Shintomon thought. "It will take them nearly five hours at the rate they're going."
"Luckily we were able to upgrade. Otherwise, they'd have to wait for ten digital days. You can thank me for that one, old friend."
"Good luck, guys!" the higher powers shouted out.
"Yeah. Good luck. You stay out of trouble, Davis," Sonja thought with a grin.
Out in Digi-Space
The spaceship was now embarking on its ten-hour journey towards the main Digital World of the Western sector.
Tai, Takato, Davis and the others were more than excited to know that a new adventure was ahead for them. Little did they know, another set of children would arrive at that same destination.
Our heroes now explore through space and are ready for another unpredictable adventure. However, what dangers lie ahead for them and how will they react once they meet up with Takuya and company? Will they be considered friend… or foe?

Tai: We're looking for the Black Digicores. Can you help us?
Takuya: We're here for the same reason as well.

The Goggle Heads Unite! The Quest Begins!
Out in Digi-Space
The spacecraft was on it's destination towards the Digital World in the Western sector. It has been five hours since the crew's departure from Shintomon's home. Davis and Veemon have surprised everyone by being on their best behavior. Guilmon and the other digimon were enjoying their feast after Tai helped prepare it.
"Yummy! This bread is great!" Guilmon exclaimed. "Shintomon makes them second best only to Takato's parents."
"I don't know. Shintomon might even give my family competition," Takato said. "Because this is some good stuff. What's the recipe behind it?"
"Meat loaf," Renamon stated promptly.
"What?! This is meat loaf?!" everyone else exclaimed in unison.
"It doesn't even taste like meat loaf," said Max.
"Well, that's the wonders of Shintomon's food," Tai said. "I had a pool a pasta and you won't guess what kind of ingredients were in it."
"So were they?" Keke asked.
"Worms and meat sauce."
"UGH!"
"But it turned out to be a hell of a meal. I'll tell you one thing, it put my mom's cooking to shame."
"Tai. I'm surprised you didn't get sick from that," Davis said.
"You can't even taste it. Hell, you won't even notice it. It looked and tasted like normal pasta. I wish Shintomon would at least give me some ingredients behind it."
"Well, I think I almost lost my lunch," Kari slightly gagged. "So, it's been about five hours? This trip doesn't seem as bad as I thought it would."
"Remember, we would have taken the ship right away and be forced to sit through a ten-day trip," Rika stated. "I'm glad we waited for them to upgrade it."
"I wonder how TK is handling those two sailor mouths," Tai pondered.
"You mean Tike and Kara? Oh, I think they should be ok," Max said.
"I just hope you're right for my sake," Kari sighs.
*********************************************************************
Odaiba. Earth
"DAD!"
TK was woken up by the sheer screams of the ravenous duo. Even Patamon was taken back by their loud screams. TK quickly got out of bed and runs over towards the living room. He turns to find Tike and Kara playing another game of Super Mario Smash Brothers.
"You think you could play with us? We can't have any fun playing by ourselves," Kara asked.
"Please. We'll leave you alone to sleep all day. Please, just this once."
"All right, guys. You've convinced me. But after this, let me rest for today? Deal?"
"Deal!"
TK reaches over for the third control and proceeds to play a four-player mode with the kids. Their mission was to take out the fourth guy in an order of elimination.
"Whew. I'm just glad Gatomon is taking a break. I bet she's having a lot more fun on that journey," Patamon said in thought.
********************************************************************
Shinjuku
The city of Shinjuku recovered quite peacefully since the D-Reaper incident five years ago. Every building was reconstructed and the citizens quickly attempted to forget everything that involved the destructive creature. Unfortunately, there were some emotional wounds left and those would not heal too easily.
However, the son of Mr. Janyuu Wong put the past behind him and moved on with a peaceful life. Henry is seen strolling through the streets on his bicycle. Terriermon sat inside the front basket and waved out to the crowds.
"I'm the King of the World!" Terriermon cheered. "Don't you think, Henry?"
"Just make sure not to attract any dogs. I've had dogs chase after me because of you're excessive jabbering."
"Don't you worry about those mutts! I've got an ace up my sleeve for those flea bags!"
"Speak for yourself, Terriermon…"
Just then, a large doberman is seen rushing out from an alleyway and was after Henry. The boy peddled faster in hopes of leaving the vicious dog in a gust of dust.
"You just made my lucky day, Henry!"
"Or make that unlucky for me," muttered Henry.
The boy was peddling along with Terriermon attracting more attention that he already has at the moment.
Elsewhere, a brown-haired teenage girl with a long-sleeve white shirt and a green skirt looks on. Standing at her side looks like a young man with blonde-hair, crimson eyes and elf-like ears.
"Look, Pikkan. It's Henry. That Terriermon sure loves to get himself into trouble."
"Idiot. I hope those dogs bite his ass."
"Oh Pikkan, be nice…"
"Sorry, but I just don't see how that little punk can cause such a frackus when he knows every dog in town wants a piece of him."
"I think it's cute."
"Cute? Ok, sometimes you scare even me, Jeri…"
*********************************************************************
Trailmon Railway to the Digital World
The children sat patiently for their stop at the Forest Terminal. JP, Takuya, Zoe and Tommy are playing a game of poker while Kouji and Kouichi look out through the windows.
"Hey, Kouji! Kouichi! Don't you guys want to play some poker?" Takuya asked. "It's better than just sitting there all day."
"We're fine," Kouichi said. "Besides, I think Kouji has a lot on his mind. Right?"
"Yeah…"
"Oh, well. You're loss," Takuya said.
"And I win again! Beat this full house, boys!" Zoe proudly gloats.
The three defeated boys fell back as Zoe raised her hand in victory. Takuya sits up and views her cards. His eyes were now glazed over.
"Damn, that's the fourth time straight you kicked our asses!"
"Cause I'm a girl and I've got the power!"
"Oh please," Tommy and JP muttered.
"Don't hate the girl, hate the game."
"I already hate this game," JP said.
Takuya drops his cards and turns over to the brothers. He noticed Kouji looking a little down. He walks over towards them.
"Hey, Kouji? What's the matter, dude?"
"He's not up to talking for the moment, Takuya," Kouichi said.
"Why? What's the matter with him?"
"We won't even tell me. I think it's best we wait until we get to the Forest Terminal. Even people need their time to themselves."
"Well, okay. It's been almost five hours. I didn't realize how far it was to the Forest Terminal."
"Well, you kind of figure the long trip we've taken by foot the last time," Zoe stated. "Besides, we can kick back until then. I'm up for another round of poker."
"No thank you!" the boys exclaimed.
"Ah, c'mon. I promise I'll lose on purpose. Please?"
Kouji kept his eye on the trail roads as thoughts were clouding his mind. He obviously knew something was going to take place beforehand. He didn't know what but he knows an unexpected twist was going to change their trip.
********************************************************************
Outer Digi-Space
The spaceship was now nearing its final destination towards the western sector. The crew was getting over anxious, but it wouldn't be another hour for their arrival on the Digital World.
"Are we there yet?" Tai asked.
"No and make that a double no!" Rika exclaimed.
"You've been asking that for ten times already," replied Kari.
"I know, but I'm so excited! I can't wait!"
"Do what I do when a situation like this happens, dad," Max said.
"What do you propose I do?"
"Let's play some Game Boy Advanced! Luckily I brought my system with me."
"Good idea. I was about to be bored out of my wits."
"I can't believe those two are going to play video games at a time like this," Keke said.
"Well, those are boys for ya, Keke," Gatomon said. "Take it from me. You'll grow accustomed to them."
"I'm already grown accustomed to Max already. No need to tell me any of that," said Keke.
"Hey, Guilmon. You have anymore bread I can spare?"
"Sure. You want the sugar bread or regular bread?"
"Sugar sounds good."
"Coming right up!"
Guilmon tosses his partner a piece of sugar bread. Takato jumps up and snatches the bread piece.
"Nice throw there, boy!"
"Great catch, Takatomon!"
"Hey, you guys! You said another hour, right?" Davis asked.
"Yeah, why ask Davis?" Kari said.
"Well, look what's up ahead of us! I overheard Shintomon saying that there weren't any other planets in this sector of the Digiverse."
"Unless a planet was reformatted," Veemon replied.
"I have a hunch that's the Digital World!" Davis replied. "It has to be!"
"Really? That makes it twice as better! We don't have to wait here for another hundred years!" Tai said. "Whoo hoo!"
"It's about time. Hey, take a look! What do you think, Kek?" Max asked.
Max points out towards the planet, which was covered by green and blue scenery with heavenly white clouds shrouding it. Keke was awed by its sheer magnificence.
"It's so pretty," Keke said.
"I'm glad you came on this trip with me, Kek. I would have been lonely without you."
"I felt the same way. I haven't seen you for months."
"Let's make this trip worthwhile, ok?"
"Yeah!"
"All right, guys! We're just about set for destination. Fasten you're safety belts!" Takato stated.
"How observant, goggle head," Rika replied. "You heard the man. Fasten those belts."
"Wow, she actually didn't insult me for once," Takato thought.
The spacecraft was started to arrive closer and closer towards the planet. It would be only a matter of time before they will land on their destination: the Forest Terminal.
"Next stop the Digital World!" Tai exclaimed.
*********************************************************************
Trailmon Station Stop: Forest Terminal
After a near ten-hour trip, Trailmon panted and slowed down towards the Forest Terminal's train stop. The children were on the receiving end of a slight whiplash as a result. Takuya gets up and holds the back of his head.
"Couldn't have you given us a little warning beforehand, buddy?"
"Sorry, you know how we Trailmon are. We rush at every stop after every trip. Remind me never to take another ten-hour trip for another hundred years…"
"You ready to go? We're here!" Takuya said.
"It's about time. Whew, luckily I brought my swim suit with me," Zoe said. "Don't you boys think about peeking."
Every one of the boys, except the brothers, were thinking dirty thoughts of Zoe in a sexy swimsuit. Zoe slaps the trio on their cheeks.
"Hey! I don't count!" Takuya said. "It's this pervert here you should worry about."
"Who you calling a pervert?!" JP exclaimed.
"Guys. It's okay. Let's just get off on our stop," Zoe replied. "Ah. Smell that fresh air."
"Hey, Takie," JP whispered in Takuya's ear. "So, have you made it past first base yet?"
"Dude, what are you thinking? We're just friends."
"Sure, you are, Takie."
"It's not like that!"
"What are you two discussing?" Tommy asked.
"Um, it's nothing little boys should here. No offense or anything," JP said.
"Please, I wouldn't do that sort of thing with her," Takuya stated.
"Not yet at least."
"Ok, just what are they talking about? JP is up to no good," Zoe thought.
Just then, Kouji and Kouichi noticed an object emitting a bright glare from the heavens. Kouji pulls out his binoculars and found a spacecraft coming through the Digital World's atmosphere.
"What is Kouji?"
"There's a ship heading this way!"
"A ship?!" Takuya asked. "Where?!"
"You don't suppose there are aliens coming here, do you?" Tommy pondered.
"Who knows, but I'm curious to know," Zoe said.
"Hey, wait up guys!" JP cries out.
The children rushed over to the open grassy meadow and saw the spacecraft about to make it's landing near the forest. As the ship made its impact, the heavy force threw the children back.
"Whoa! Hang on tight everyone!" Takuya calls out.
Zoe goes flying back from the impact. JP goes running to catch her from the fall.
"Hang in there, Zoe!"
"Catch me! Somebody!"
"Hold on!"
Just as JP was about to catch her, he trips over a rock and lands face first. Zoe then finds herself being caught by Takuya. The girl slightly blushes and breaks her fall.
"Thanks, Takuya… Didn't expect you to catch me…"
"Um, no problem…"
"Let's go check it out," Kouji said. "I'm curious to know what is inside that ship."
"Same here. Let's go everyone!" Kouichi said.
With that said, the children rushed over towards the forest in hopes of finding the spacecraft. Little did they realize that Tai and his crew are inside the ship. Takuya makes a stop and is transfixed by the spacecraft.
"Whoa, here's something you don't see everyday," Takuya said.
"Where do you think it came from?" JP asked. "It looks so futuristic, like something out of those sci-fi movies."
"Maybe we'll meet some extraterrestrials of the Digital World," Kouichi said.
"Hello! Is anybody in there? We come at peace!" Zoe exclaimed.
"Zoe! You don't want them to come out and blast our heads off!" JP shouted.
"Maybe we'll know if we open this door here," Takuya said as he opens the front hatchet door.
Just as Takuya was about to open the hatchet door, it flings up and throws every one of them off guard. Tai, Agumon and Guilmon poked their heads out from the opened door.
"Um, hello? Is anyone out there?!" Tai asked. "Echo!"
"Hey! There's a boy with some digimon! Just who are you?" JP exclaimed.
"Whoa. We didn't know there were going to be other people here," Agumon said. "I take it you come from Earth."
"No duh," Takuya said. "I take it you're not from around here."
"Nope, we came from another Digital World," Guilmon replied.
"What? Another Digital World? Ok you've lost me," Zoe said.
"Hey, guys! Come and look at this! There are some kids out here!" Tai calls out to the other passengers.
"Let us see!" Gatomon calls out.
As soon as Gatomon said that, everyone came walking out from the spacecraft and walked outside to greet the children.
"Hey! They've got digimon too! Tell us why are digimon with you?" Kouji asked.
"These are our partners. You don't have any digimon partners?" Kari said.
"No, we don't have any digimon partners," Tommy replied. "Why? Are they necessary?"
"To survive in the Digital World, of course you'll need them," Tai stated. "How do you end up surviving in a crazy place like the Digital World?"
"Well, I'll tell you this. We can transform into digimon," Takuya said.
"What?! Transform into digimon?!" Tai's crew said in unison.
"Well, that sort of thing isn't new. We can merge with our digimon partners," Davis replied.
"I wonder if they know anything about digital fusion," Veemon pondered.
"Digital fusion? We use spirit evolution. Anyway, that's now important. Who are you? Why did you come here?" Kouichi said.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves. We're the Digi-Destined from the eastern section of the Digital World," Tai said.
"We were sent here by Shintomon to retrieve the four black Digicores," Max replied. "It's important to find them because they'll help my dad here be restored to his normal age."
"Huh? This kid is you're father?" Zoe asked. "Man, this is really whacked…"
"Believe me. I said the same thing, too," Kari said. "My brother suffered a little accident and he's back to the runt he once was."
"Hey! Watch who you're calling a runt!" Tai growled.
"You came here for the black Digicores? We were summoned by Ophanimon and the other two Celestial Angel digimon," Kouji said. "They never really told us the reason, but maybe there's something we can do to resolve this."
"How about leading us to these angel digimon and we can work out an agreement?" Takato said. "It shouldn't be that hard."
"Besides, we're all on the good side, right? Right?" Guilmon asked.
"Let's not be too sure yet," Rika said. "How do we know that they're lying?"
"Lie? You calling us a bunch of liars?" Takuya asked. "That's the last thing we will ever be. You don't have to trust us, but we're telling you the truth about these angels."
"Don't mind her, guys. She's always on the mistrusting side," Tai said. "We're friends among friends. I'm Taichi Kamiya, or you can just call me Tai. This orange-yellow partner of mine is Agumon."
"Pleased to meet you," the reptile replied.
"I'm Takato Matsuki and this is Guilmon. He's a lover of all kinds of bread you could bake."
"Make sure that it has peanut butter in it. I prefer it that way."
"I'm Hikari Kamiya-Takashi or you can just call me Kari. Don't get confused if I look older than Tai. I happen to be his younger sister. The difference was that I've had quite a growth spurt!"
Everyone was laughing to Kari's comment and she didn't really mean to direct it towards Tai. The goggle head leader stood with a hand covering his face.
"They didn't have to go that far."
"I'm Davis Motomiya and this is Veemon. Nobody can resist these good looks."
"The name's Rika Nonaka and this is my partner, Renamon. Whatever, there's nothing else to know about me."
"You can call me Max Kamiya."
"Are you Kari's son?" JP asked.
"Nope, I'm Tai's."
"Great. This is getting way too weird for me. What planet did they come from?" Takuya stated.
"Hey, remember they said that Tai had an accident. So let's leave it as it is," Zoe replied. "Be nice."
"And I'm Keke Ishida. You can just refer to me as Max's girl."
"Man! That boy is already a player and I haven't even scored once!" JP said. "What's this world coming too?!"
"Chill out, dude. Well, this is pretty interesting. Now to introduce ourselves. You can call me Takuya Kanbara."
"Yeah we can tell you're the leader," Tai, Takato and Davis muttered in unison.
"Yeah, I guess the goggles gave it away," Takuya replied.
"I'm Zoe Orimoto," the blonde-haired girl said. "It's nice to meet you."
"Call me JP," the big-boned boy said.
"Tommy is my name and don't let my size fool ya."
"My name is Kouji Minamoto and this is…"
"Kouichi. I'm Kouji's older brother but only by a year."
"Well, now that we've gotten introductions out of the way. What do you say you introduce us to these angels?" Tai said. "I think we should discuss matters. That is if they're willing to speak with us."
"Don't worry. Like you said, we're friends among friends," Takuya replied.
"Yeah, I just don't want to piss them off for asking this small favor."
"Nah, you won't," JP said. "If anything, they'll most likely know this Shintomon person."
"True, he does know just about every powerful entity in the Digital Universe," Takato said.
"C'mon, let's get going guys. Takuya. Since you guys obviously know you're way around, could you lead us the way?" Davis said.
"No problem. Just follow us."
With that said, the teams united to begin their walk towards Seraphimon's castle. They worked their way through the thick fog, in hopes of finding the passageway towards the castle.
"Man, we could use some headlights right about now," Kari said. "We can barely see."
"Luckily, I've got keen eyes. I'll point to the direction, Kari."
They suddenly stopped at a closed gate entrance and without warning. The gate opens up. It looks like Seraphimon and the Celestial Angels are aware of the children's arrival.
"I'm guessing that they're expecting us," Takato said.
"Very observant. Hey blondie, what's the deal with this fog anyway?" Rika asked.
"Don't ask me."
Just then, a pair of lighting bolts struck the ground in front of the crew. They were taken back by this sudden event and shielded their eyes from the blast's immense glow. Emerging from the bright glowing aura clouds was three powerful figures. Takuya and his friends turned with smiles on their faces. Standing in front of them was Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon. These three are the Digital World's Celestial Angel Guardians. Seraphimon looked like an armored angel knight with a helmet shielding his face, a pair of wings attached to each side of his back, and a well protected body armor. Ophanimon looked similar to him but she has a more feminine touch. Unlike Seraphimon, her face shield did not completely cover her face. Cherubimon appearance makes him look like a giant rabbit with a holy mystic presence. His once corrupted mind has been banished after being purified by the Legendary Warriors.
"Welcome back, Legendary Warriors. It is good to have you back," Seraphimon said.
"Whoa! These three are the Celestial Angel digimon?!" Davis said.
"They don't seem too bad," replied Veemon.
"Don't worry. I can sense good vibes from these three," Agumon stated.
"This is so awesome, right Kek?"
"You bet… It's the most beautiful scene I've ever laid my eyes on…"
"Same to you, Seraphimon. We're surprised you even summoned us," Kouji replied.
"Yes, we have a very important assignment for you," Ophanimon said.
"I see you brought along company to help you," Cherubimon stated.
"These guys came here on their own accord. We found them coming out of a space craft, which landed outside the gates," Zoe said.
"Tell me. What brings you here to the Digital World friends?" Seraphimon asked.
"We were sent here by Shintomon to retrieve the Black Digicores," Tai said.
"Shintomon? Did you say Shintomon?" Cherubimon asked. "Yes, I see. Well, a friend to Shintomon is a friend to us Celestial Angels."
"Yeah, but could you help us on our quest here?" Takato asked. "You see, we need them to help restore Tai's age. He had an accident."
"Yes, we see you're problem," Ophanimon said. "Now listen children. You should know a little more about these Black Digicores…"
"They were created intentionally to destroy Lucemon many eons ago. Unfortunately, we feared they would cause a negative reaction to the planet if we had used them drastically in a situation such as that with Lucemon's reign of terror. So, we scattered them across the Digital World. Even to this today, we are unaware of their locations. We are forbidden to touch them and that is why we summoned you back here in the Digital World."
"Ok, but how do we get our spirits back? We can't just go off without them. You never know if there anymore nasty digimon out there who probably wants our heads," JP said.
"Yes. Take a look into you're pockets and you shall find them."
The children did as Seraphimon instructed them to do. They were surprised to find that their cell phones morphed back into their D-Tectors. The children were ecstatic to say the least.
"Oh wow! This is awesome!" Takuya exclaimed.
"So, are those what allow you turn into digimon?" Kari asked.
"You bet and you'll be quite surprised when you see our transformations!" Tommy said.
"Heh. Wait until you get a good look at ours," Tai thought.
"You're human and beast spirits are in you're D-Tectors. Which means you can spirit evolve into you're human or beast forms," Ophanimon said. "May these spirits once again protect and guide you on you're journey."
"Consider this as a thank you for saving our world and restoring us to our rightful positions as guardians," Cherubimon said.
"I'd also want to give my regards to you, strangers," Seraphimon said. "A friend to Shintomon is a friend to us. May you're spirits protect you. Good luck."
"Well, what do you say guys?" Takuya asked. "Are you ready for another adventure?"
"Yeah!"
"All right, guys. You heard him! It's time to set off on our adventure!" Tai said.
"Hold on," Takato said. "We'll definitely need these."
Takato held out their backpacks of important items, such as medicine and food. Tai takes one.
"Oh yeah. We can't forget these. Hey, Takuya. Why not have us break into two large groups. That way we can find the cores a lot easier," Tai said.
"Hey, not a bad idea. Hmmm. How should we break it up?"
"Here's an idea," Davis. "Put myself, Kari, yourself, Zoe, Kouji and Kouichi. That's not so bad is it?"
"Hey, bub. You're taking two girls with you!" JP said.
"Don't like my planning? C'mon, it's better than what Tai can come up with."
"Davis, you'll never learn will you?" Kari thought.
"I've got an even better suggestion," Takato said. "In one group, it can be Tai, Max, myself, Rika, Tommy, Zoe and Kouji."
"Hey, that's some great thinking," said Tai. "A little better than Davis', but I'll give you credit Davis. You didn't come up with such a bad idea."
"I think he simply wanted to get a little step closer to me," Kari muttered.
"All right, I'll take the remaining group," Takuya said. "It's down to me, Davis, JP, Kouichi, Keke, and Kari."
Zoe and Rika quickly rushed over to Kari to whisper in her ear.
"Whatever you do, don't let Davis make a move on you," Rika said. "Sonja's already told him to stay on his best behavior."
"If you have to resort to drastic measures, kick him where it hurts," Zoe replied.
"You guys. Nothing is going to happen. Davis is already married and I'm already a married woman. There's nothing to worry about."
"Ok, we're just warning you," Rika said.
"Davis, you going to do okay with Kari in the group?" Veemon wondered.
"I promised Sonja to be on my best behavior and I'm going to live up to my word."
"Davis… Sometimes you shock even me…"
"No! We're separated, Max," Keke said. "I don't think I can stand being without you."
"It will be fine. You've got my Aunt Kari looking after you plus you've got Legendary Warriors on her side. I'll be fine. You should be too."
"Just promise to stay alive, ok?"
"I promise."
"Pinky promise?"
"Sure."
With that said, the two children made their pact and wrapped each other's pinky fingers.
"Aww, isn't that cute?" Zoe remarked.
"This is definitely a Kodiak moment," Takato said.
"All right, troops! We're heading out! Let our adventure begin!" the leaders said in unison.
With their mission assigned to them, Tai and his crew have volunteered to help them find the four lost Black Digicores. How will they find them and what dangers lie ahead for our heroes?

[Preview]
Takato: Hey, everyone! It's Takato with the full report! We set off on our journey to finding the four black Digicores. On the next episode, we focus on our group. Tai and I are informed that a digicore is supposedly found in a dragon's cavern.
Tai: We have to fight a mystical dragon to gain possession of this digicore?!
Agumon: And it isn't any ordinary dragon! It's got five heads!
Tai: This calls for drastic measures! Show us these Spirit Evolutions!
Zoe: Execute! Spirit Evolution!
Tommy: Execute! Spirit Evolution!
Kouji: Execute! Spirit Evolution!
Max: Awesome! We get a first glimpse of their spirit evolved forms! I introduce to you Kazemon, Kumamon and Lobomon.
Rika: Here I thought I'd see everything.
Renamon: You should be surprised, but we still have to retrieve the first digicore from this mystical beast.
Guilmon: Next time on Digimon Frontier Fusion, episode four…
Sally Forth, Legendary Warriors! The Mystical Dragon Awakens!
Tai: Don't you miss it!

SSJ4T: Wow, look how fast I got this chapter up. At this rate, I could get as far as chapter eleven.
Coral: Don't rush, you still have that YuGiOh crossover to work on. I'd suggest not to work on Christmas just so you can have fun with you're gifts.
SSJ4T: I'm expecting several Playstation 2 games and DVDS. Yeah, you're right.
Coral: Anyway, I think we should get going to MA's party again.
SSJ4T: Yep. All right, that wraps it up for today. We're off to party over at Max Acorn's Christmas bash! Until then, leave a note and peace out!

SSJ4T: Hey, all! Sorry this one's way overdo! I really am sorry for this lack of updates. ^^
Coral: He's been a little preoccupied with his new Playstation games. Figures.
SSJ4T: Hey, I needed a little break from fic writing. By the way, if anyone would like to send a New Years Resolution, you can put it in you're review. My New Year's Resolution is to finish up the entire Fusion series and move on with other fics. I'm going to be really bummed once I finish the Fusion Series.
Coral: Why so?
SSJ4T: Because this series has really been a breakthrough fic! It's my best fiction series! My other works will ever compete against it.
Coral: Let's try to make this last season worthwhile.
SSJ4T: Starting now. Enjoy the fic!

Sally Forth, Legendary Warriors! The Mystical Dragon Awakens!
Setting off on their journey for the first black digicore, Tai and Takato led their group consisting of Rika, Max, Zoe, Kouji and Tommy. Their instructions were to retrieve all four digicores and from there the Celestial Angels will inform them on how to activate them. Though, Tai and his friends already have experience of that sort.
"Wow, I never really thought we'd be walking through the forests of another Digital World," Takato said. "What do you think, Tai?"
"I had a feeling that there would be other worlds. Besides, this world isn't so different from our world. I'll admit its pretty weird knowing angels are watchers of this sector instead of a Holy Beast."
"You're right," said Agumon.
"Hey, Takato. Did you pack up lots of bread?" Guilmon asked.
"I'm always planning ahead, Guilmon. We'll sit down and have a lunch break in a little while."
"Ok, I just can't make my stomach stop growling…"
Zoe, Tommy and Kouji still couldn't understand how the digimon could be partnered with these people. Their only experience with digimon is by either confronting one or transforming into one. This was a very new concept to them.
"You think I could get a digimon partner?" Tommy asked.
"There really isn't any use of us partnering with a digimon. We can defend ourselves by spirit evolving. We're already digimon by our own right," Kouji stated.
"Though I wouldn't mind having Guilmon or Patamon as a partner," Zoe replied. "They're so cute."
"I want Veemon as my partner," Tommy said.
"You guys are dreaming," Kouji muttered.
Rika simply sighed in frustration after listening to Zoe and Tommy's constant rambling. Renamon simply chuckles.
"I'm going to have to agree with that Kouji, those kids are dreaming. Why would they need partners if they claim to evolve into these legendary warriors? I won't believe until I see it."
"We just might get that chance, Rika," Renamon stated.
"Well it better be soon."
After a near two mile hike through the luscious forest, the crew pushed their way through a thick brush to find themselves a source of sunlight penetrating through. Tai takes out his binoculars and gets a bird eye's view of a nearby cavern.
"Hey, dad. You think that cavern will contain a digicore?"
"It's a start. Too bad we don't have anything to help us trace them."
"Takato? Can we eat now?" Guilmon begged. "Please?"
"Ok, you win. Hey, guys! Why don't we stop here to take a break? We can go and investigate the cave a little later."
"Good call, Guilmon. My stomach was killing me," Max said.
"I think we deserve ourselves a break from all that walking," replied Agumon. "I was getting blisters on my feet."
"Agreed. I'll find us some meat apples," Zoe said.
"Um, meat apples?" Rika asked.
"Yeah. They look like apples but they're really meat flavored. They're pretty good," Tommy said.
"Whoa and here I thought our Digital World was whacked out," Tai thought. "Meat apples, huh? Well, Zoe. Why don't you and Tommy fetch us some while we gather some firewood."
"Sure." Let's go find us some good meat apples, Tommy."
Zoe rushes off into the forest to begin her search for the most obvious meat apple tree. Tommy goes tagging along after her.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"Max. I really could sure you're help by chopping down some trees," Tai said. "You up for it?"
"You bet!"
"I've got a questions, Tai," Takato said.
"Oh, Takato. Sure, go ahead and shoot."
"Well it concerns Max. I was wondering how he ended up being such a strong little kid. The way I've seen him fight, he gave War Greymon quite a run for his money."
"Good thing you asked. I was just about to mention that. Well, it all started months after we saved everyone from D-Reaper. Well, you know Sora and I hit it off earlier than expected. We eventually wed and had our honeymoon at the Digital World. We were contracted to be Administrators of File Island. I sort of turned down the offer, because I wanted to continue to train with War Greymon. During our stay in the Digital World, Sora gave birth to our first and only child, Max."
"So he was born in the Digital World?"
"That's interesting, but you still haven't explained why Max is as strong as he is. He's definitely not a normal kid."
"I was getting to that part already. When Max was tested, File Island's most advanced medical experts claimed that Max was a hybrid of sorts."
"A hybrid? He's half of something?"
"Yeah. They informed us that Max was half genetic and half digital."
"Half digital? How is that possible?"
"I asked myself that same question. Fortunately, X was there to give me a startling revelation. He said that right at the moment when Agumon and I merged into Omega X for the first time, our internal structures were fused as well. My DNA mixed with Agumon's data. As a result, I officially became a hybrid. Everyone else who's fused with their digimon became hybrids as well."
"What about me?"
"You did bio-merge with Guilmon. So you're definitely a hybrid."
"Funny, I don't even feel like one."
"You'll know eventually. You do plan on being a father, are you?"
"It's too early for me to say."
"I understand. Enjoy these last years kid. They're going to be something to remember."
"Wow, Max is a hybrid. Does he know about it?"
"Oh yeah. Since his genes are part digital, he's inherited some of Omega X's tenacity and power. That is how my son gained the ability to fight. That is why you see him stalemating with War Greymon. You ought to duel him sometime. I'd definitely like to challenge Gallantmon."
"Yeah, I'd like to prove our strength with you're son. Hey, Max! How would you like to duel with Gallantmon sometime?"
Max finished chopping the firewood with his hands and turns to face the goggle boy. An innocent smile forms on the boy's face.
"I'd love that! When can we start?"
"Whoa, whoa, kiddo. We still have to eat," Tai said. "Ah, here they come with those meat apples."
"Hi, everyone! We're sorry we took a little long," Zoe said. "We've brought enough meat apples to last us nearly a week."
"They look just like ordinary apples," Rika said. "Big deal. Oh well, anything is better than walking on an empty stomach."
"Oh you'll like them," Tommy replied. "You won't be disappointed."
"I better not."
Zoe turned towards Rika with a slight frown. She was simply starting to despise Rika's cold attitude.
"What is her problem? Here we are trying to be friendly and here she has that cold attitude? Well, somebody ought to teach her some manners," Zoe thought.
"What are you looking at blondie?"
"Excuse me?"
"Aw, c'mon, girls!" Takato calls out. "Let's not fight. We're here on a lunch break. Besides, we have a mission to complete here."
"Agreed. We can't let our group get broken up just because of some tension amongst each other," Tai said.
"Easier said than done," Kouji said.
Max opens up his backpack and pulls out a pair of matches. He pulls one out and lights a fire. He tosses it over the wood logs. As soon as the flames started, each party member placed an apple through a stick.
"Let's hope these meat apples are edible," Guilmon said. "I already ate one and it was yucky."
"Silly. You're supposed to cook them," stated Tommy.
"Next I better not think with my stomach. Takato, you look a little down. What's wrong?"
"I'm just wondering how my parents are doing now. They must be having one hell of a day selling bread."
"Which is why I never want to be a bread baker," Tai said. "I can make some pretty mean meals, but making bread is not my specialty."
"You make bread with you're family too, Takato?" Zoe asked.
"Sometimes, but they never turn out to be the way I wanted. They're either mediocre or a pile of crap."
"That's not true, Takato. You can make some really good bread," stated the reptile digimon.
"Thanks for the compliment, Guilmon."
"You're truly welcome."
"Can you guys really digivolve into digimon?" Max asked. "I mean. It has to be something similar to what my dad can do."
"Oh really? You're dad can become a digimon too?" Kouji asked.
"He and Agumon merge into this super awesome warrior named Omega X. He's helped save the Digital World countless of times. I wish to be just like him and protect the lives of the innocent."
"Just keep up with you're training and you'll be ranked up there in greatness along with Omega X," Tai said.
"Who knows, you could end up being better than Omega X ever was," Agumon said.
"Me better than Omega X? Isn't that a bit too far fetching?" Max said. "Even if I trained for my entire life, I couldn't bear to comprehend with him."
"Just believe that you can, Max and you'll somehow unlock you're potential," Tai said. "I know it's in there, but you have to search out for it."
"Yeah."
"Now, that's enough talk. It's time to dig in!"
"You said it!" everyone else exclaimed.
With that said, everyone took their meat apple and grubbed away at their tasty morsels. Tai and Max were quite pleased with the luscious taste of these meat apples. They gave each other a thumbs up.
"How did you like you're meat apple, dad? Mine was chicken-flavored."
"This is some good stuff! Mine was hamburger flavored!"
"This is so good, Takato. It may not be bread, but it hits the spot!"
"Yeah, who would ever believe us if we told them our friends we just had ourselves some meat-flavored apples?"
"Probably no one would believe us," Rika replied. "After we've stuffed ourselves, we should really get going into that cave."
"But we're not even sure if a digicore is inside that cavern," said Max. "You would need some really good eyes to see through that thick darkness."
"Which is why I have Renamon. She can see even through the darkest of caverns. Right, Renamon?"
"Once the opportunity presents itself."
"Hold on a second. You'll probably need a little assistance along the way," Zoe replied.
"I won't be needing any help from the likes of you," Rika retorted.
"I was only offering some help. You don't have to get all bitchy about it."
"Who's being bitchy? I simply want to find this digicore for the team."
"You can't always rely on yourself you know. It takes teamwork and we're going to look for that digicore as a team."
"Girls. Please, can we at least have a peaceful meal?" Takato begged. "We can't have any of this."
"What do you think, Takato? You think it's wise to let Rika look for that digicore alone without knowing any unknown dangers inside that cavern?" Zoe asked.
"Well… I…"
"He doesn't have to say anything," Rika said. "This is an argument between us."
"Look I was only looking for some feedback. Don't go biting my head off."
"C'mon, guys. I don't want to see this," Tommy said. "We're supposed to be on the same page."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that Tommy," Kouji replied.
"Me on the same page as blondie here?"
"Rika, control yourself," Renamon said.
"And will you stop calling me blondie? I don't see how Takato can see you as his girlfriend. No offense, Takato."
"At least he's a respectable Tamer and helped defeat the D-Reaper. What did you ever do?"
"Become the Legendary Warrior of Wind and helped defeat Lucemon."
"Prove you're worth, blondie."
"Oh that is it! I'm going to prove you're snotty as attitude wrong!"
"You guys! Cut this crap out!" Tai exclaimed.
"Feh. I don't have to take this verbal abuse. I'm off to the cavern. Renamon, let's go. We're going to bring back a digicore. Anyone of you are welcome to come, but you let me find the digital core."
As soon as she said that, Rika walks off from the site with Renamon following her lead. Tai and Takato simply sighed in frustration.
"Takato. I don't know how you put up with her."
"Well, she's pretty nice to me. I don't understand her sudden outburst."
"She simply wants to prove a point," Zoe said. "She is so full of herself. I can't stand that attitude of hers."
"You guys we can't let her off on her own like that," said Agumon. "We have to go and stop her."
"You guys are forgetting. She can bio-merge with Renamon to become Sakuyamon."
"We know that Takato, but we are unaware of the dangers that lurk here," Tai said. "We have to keep our guards up."
"Agreed," Kouji said. "We can tell you first hand. We've battled some tough adversaries."
"Bah, I say we go after her! This is our chance to gain our first digicore!" Max exclaimed excitedly. "I don't know about you guys but I'm jumping for this chance. C'mon, dad. I know you'd do the same."
"All right, but let's be cautious. We can't jump right away," Tai said. "Let's move out!"
"Rika. Why are you so hell bent on doing this alone? We're supposed to be a team" Takato thought.
Tai and the crew left their campsite to head off towards the nearby cavern. From there, they would find Rika and Renamon in order to prevent her from taking any unnecessary actions.
*********************************************************************
Meanwhile, Rika was found strolling through the dark cavern with a flashlight she took out from her backpack. Renamon stood close by her partner in order to protect her from any incoming attackers. Renamon's keen eyesight scans through the darkness since she is also a nocturnal digimon type.
"Anything yet, Renamon? If you see a black orb, then let me know. That should be the Black Digicore."
"Understood. Do you mind if I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"What do you have against that girl Zoe? She was only offering assistance. Don't you think we should have accepted?"
"She'll only slow us down, Renamon. I just want to find these black digicores and get this mission over with."
"Why in such a hurry?"
"Well, I… There's really no reason."
"I see…"
"I guess I made a total bitch of myself back there. I shouldn't have gone off like that. It brings back bad memories when I was the so-called Digimon Queen."
"You've changed since then, Rika."
"Ever since I became friends with Takato, Henry and the Digi-Destined, I've learned that working with other people helps you reach you're goals. Even my grandmother told me that no one would ever succeed in the world on their own. We depend on others. Oh, Renamon…"
Just then, several voices started calling out from behind the teenage girl. Rika turns as she heard the echoes. She easily recognized one of them as Takato.
"Is that Takato?"
"Rika! I'm sensing a disturbance."
"Where?"
Suddenly, a massive earthquake erupted inside the cavern as Renamon snatches Rika away from the collapsing rock roof. The vulpine rushes out from the cave with her partner in her arms.
"Everyone move out!"
Tai, Takato and the crew heard Renamon's cry and started heading out from the cavern.
"Shit! You didn't have to tell me twice!" Tai exclaimed.
Just then, a pair of crimson eyes was emitting a bright glow through the thick darkness. A thunderous, demonic roar was heard echoing throughout the cavern. Everyone turned around as a massive reptilian monster came busting through the rubble. The reptile then erected itself over the group. It has dark green, reptilian skin equipped with spikes on it's back and a pair of bull's horns on front of it's head. A pair of massive, gargoyle like wings expanded out covering the open space around it.
"A dr-dragon?!" Takato exclaimed.
"No, wait! It's a five heads," Guilmon replied.
"Gee, how observant," Rika remarked.
The reptile digimon was correct on his observation. The dragon towered up further with four more heads poking out from underneath the heavy rubble.
"Gee, I wonder who provoked ol' grumpy from his slumber," Zoe said.
"You better not look at me, blondie."
"You just don't want to admit it."
"Shut it!" Tai growled. "We've got a dragon to tame…"
"Hang on! What's that black orb embedded on his forehead?" Tommy points out.
Tai takes a further look through his binoculars and magnifies it over the black orb. The goggle head gasped at what he had just found. It was a black digicore. It had a much more defined structure and looked to be much larger than the cores Azulongmon ever possessed.
"Dad, that's a black digicore, right? Tell me that's the thing we're looking for."
"You bet it is! This is just our lucky day! Ok, guys! Here's the deal! I want Takato and Rika to get on the frontlines and bio-merge! Kouji, Zoe, and Tommy. You three show us this spirit evolution of yours. I'll send out War Greymon into action."
"You got it!"
"Let's wipe the floor with this fire breath, Rika."
"I'm with you, goggle head."
"Bio-Merge! Activate!"
However, as soon as they held up their D-Arcs, they noticed that not a single thing happened. It's as if they had lost their ability to bio-merge with their partners.
"Takato? What's wrong? Why can't I bio-merge?" Guilmon asked.
"I don't understand this. We can bio-merge just fine back home."
"Man, this isn't good, dad! Any idea why they can't bio-merge?"
"My guess is that they're unable to bio-merge because Guilmon and Renamon are not so used to bio-merge in different environments. You see they needed Dobermon in order to allow them to digivolve into their mega forms back home. Without any source of power found here, their chances of bio merging is nearly impossible. Looks like you'll have to digivolve them into their champion levels."
"Well, it's better than nothing! Guilmon! Let's go with a different approach! We'll need Growlmon for this!"
"You got it!"
[Digimon Tamers "Evolution" theme plays]
Evolution
"Guilmon shinka!"
Guilmon felt his body starting to change and his energy level increasing. His body starts to grow and his outer skin started to peel away to reveal his larger form, which would be his champion-leveled form. Now Guilmon was larger with a much more broad and heavy body. He has a patch of white hair on his head. However, he looked much too similar to his rookie form, but has a higher power level as far as he was concerned. He stands while blowing fire from out of his nose. Finally, he calls out to his champion name.
"Growlmon!"
Kouji, Tommy and Zoe looked on with awed expressions at the massive size of Growlmon.
"Guilmon digivolved into that big guy?!" Zoe exclaimed. "Molte bono!"
"You haven't seen anything yet, blondie. Now watch and learn," Rika said while shooting Zoe with a arrogant smirk. "You're up, Renamon!"
Rika's digivice shot out a beam of light and it was now emitting all over Renamon's body. Her body starts to grow and her outer skin started to peel away to reveal her form, which would be her champion-leveled form.
"Renamon shinka!"
Now Renamon was a quadruped. Now there was a pair of nine tails were in the place of her once, long bushy tail. She became more vulpine-like, but retained of her Renamon features. She also has a pair of rings on her back that were red and white spiral-like. She flies up and her tails start to flare up with blue fire. Finally, she calls out to her official champion name.
"Kyuubimon!"
"Now that's what I call a digivolution," Kouji said.
"They look so cool! Now let's show them the power of the legendary warriors!" Tommy said.
"I'm with you. Now stand back, Rika. Let me show you how impressive our evolutions will be."
"Prove you're worth."
"Will those two ever stop fighting?" Tai thought.
Zoe and her two friends held out their D-Tectors. They summoned forth the powers to digivolve into their legendary warrior forms.
["Evolution" ends]
[Spirit Evolution theme "With the Will" plays]
"Execute! Spirit Evolution!" the three kids exclaimed in unison.
Each of the children's clothes were ripped away as their bodies became digital and were suddenly infused with body parts of the ancient spirit's armor.
Zoe became infused with a body of a fairy-like being. A pair of wings appeared on her back and a visor covered the upper portion of her face. She also wore purple-clad armor. She flies down and delivers a kick sending out a wave of wind.
"Kazemon!"
Tommy evolved into a small, white bear with a green hat, vest and shoes. He came sliding down with a pair of skis and fell down. He's then smashed into a pile of snow but he then reforms himself back into his normal self. He puts out a peace sign and has a cartoonish grin on his face.
"Kumemon!"
Kouji was infused with blue-silver armor. His face was wolf-like and a pair of light sabers appeared in the warrior's hands. He places them on his backhand straightens himself out. He puts out his left arm and shoots out a beam.
"Lobomon!"
The three legendary warriors stood in dramatic battle poses, which caught everyone by surprise. Even Rika didn't know what to make of this.
"Wow, those are the legendary warriors!" Max exclaimed. "Awesome! They remind me so much of Omega X."
"True but their power is nowhere near that of Omega X," Tai said. "Then again, I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do."
"Should I digivolve into War Greymon to help them out?"
"No, Agumon. Let's see how they fair on their own. I'd really like to give them a chance to shine in combat."
"Whatever you say."
"Go get him, guys! We'll need that digicore!" Max calls out.
"You heard him, guys! Let's kick some butt!" Kazemon said.
["With the Will" ends]
With that said, the three legendary warriors stormed off onto the battlefield to aid the two digimon against the massive mystical dragon.
The five-headed monster roars insanely as each head let loose an array of massive fireballs. Lobomon takes care of the problem by using his Lobo Kendo to dissipate each fire flame. Kumemon cools off some more fireballs with his Blizzard Blaster.
"You guys go for the digicore!" Kazemon calls out. "We'll wipe these flames out."
"Let's go, Kyubbimon!" Growlmon cries out.
The dragon lets loose a fire wave, which caught both Kyuubimon and Growlmon off guard. Takato and Rika looked on with worry.
"Let's give them a little boost, Rika! Card Slash! Power Activate!"
"Heh, you just read my mind, goggle head. Card Slash! Speed Activate!"
As soon as they each received their power up, Kyuubimon and Growlmon leaped out to attack the mystical beast.
"Pyro Blaster!"
The force of Growlmon's Pyro Blaster was able to push the dragon back, but not enough to put it down for the count. Kyuubimon follows it up by leaping over the dragon and spun herself into a wheel-like fashion. She was quickly transformed into a blue dragon-like flame.
"Dragon Wheel!"
The flaming dragon engulfs the beast momentarily, which allowed Growlmon time to snatch the digicore.
"Yay! He's got the digicore! Great job, Growlmon!"
Suddenly, Kyuubimon found herself in a tight spot as a dragonhead shot out to snatch her. Rika looked on with fear written all over her face. She calls out to her partner.
"Kyuubimon! Look out behind you!"
"Shit! Looks like we'll definitely need War Greymon now, Agumon," Tai said.
"Right! Agumon warp-"
"Hold on! Take a look!"
Kazemon comes flying in and nails the dragonhead with a spin kick. The dragonhead screeches as it coils away. Rika could hardly believe it. Kazemon turns to face Kyuubimon with an assuring grin.
"You okay?"
"Yes, thank you."
"It's not a problem. Now let's get a move on before this thing develops some PMS."
The mystical dragon lets out a horrifying roar before taking off into the heavens above.
"Hey, why is it retreating?" Kumamon asked.
"Probably since we've taken the digicore, it's going to move to a different location," Tai said. "Either that or Kazemon really nailed a screw loose out of that thing."
"Well, I did kick him pretty hard."
The mystical dragon kept its glare over the children. Instead of attacking them head on, it flies off into the far distance. Something was obviously not right about this monster. Tai has a feeling that there's a connection between the beast and the digicore.
"That dragon seems saddened by the fact that we took the digicore. I wonder if there's some form of connection between them. It's like a mother had lost it's child, but why didn't it attack us? Something is just not right here. I expected a fight, but it fled. I'm even beginning to wonder if the dragon just allowed us to grab the core so that it will attack us at a later opportunity. I just hope the others doesn't run into this monster," Tai thought.
"Hey, dad! Digital World to dad!"
"Huh?"
"I was going to tell you that we have the first digicore and we only need three more to complete our mission. I was kind of disappointed that dragon fled. I wanted to help these guys fight it."
"Well, maybe this is for the best. We're only three steps from success, guys. This is a good start. Legendary warriors. I don't know what to say…"
"You really don't have to say anything," Lobomon said.
"We're just happy to help," Kumamon replied.
"Um, Zoe," Rika said. "I just wanted to say…"
"Yeah? What is it, Rika?" asked Kazemon.
"I'm sorry for giving you such a hard time. I'm always like that with people I feel are inferior. I treated Takato and his friends like garbage and never realized how good friends they turned out to be."
"I see. That's why you were having such an attitude. It's understandable. I want to try to bring out the best out of my friends. I simply wanted to be friends with you, Rika. That's all. But I needed to know if you were willing to accept it."
"You're right and I'm sorry for that."
"Apology accepted."
"You even saved Kyuubimon out there. I'm glad you did."
"What are friends for?"
"Heh, but just because we're friends doesn't mean I'm going to be a softy, blondie."
"Hey, what did I just tell you about calling me that?"
"Don't take it personal. I call Takato goggle head. It's a compliment."
"A compliment. Well, how about I call you tomboy?"
"Whatever floats your vote."
The other guys simply sighed. Tai takes the black digicore and gazes upon its sheer magnificence.
"All we need is three more and we'll be set to go."
"Hey, dad. Are girls always like this?"
"Yeah, Max. Just make sure Keke doesn't turn out to be like Zoe or Rika."
"Girls can be so weird…"
"Let's just hope Takuya and the others are going to have any luck. If they can at least find two, we only need to worry about one more. It's only a matter of time."
Just what is the connection between this mystical dragon and the black digicores? Will Zoe and Rika eventually become friends? How will Takuya and the others fair on their quest for the last three remaining black digicores?
[Digimon Frontier ending theme "Innocent -Mujaki na Mama de-"]
[Preview]
Takuya: Yo! It's me, Takuya! It's now up to us to find the second black digicore and what do you know, we'll have to ask our old friend Shamanmon about it's location.
Kari: Just what is this mystical dragon?
Shamanmon: Legends tell that a mystical dragon was summoned by the Three Celestial Digimon to keep a watchful eye on the black digicores. Whoever gains all four will have to confront this dragon in an ultimate struggle. The victor will then hold every right to the black digicores. You must be cautious. The mystical dragon is only waiting for the right opportunity.
Davis: Then, all we have to do is gather these black digicores and fight this thing? You're looking at the guy who's going to slay the dragon.
Shamanmon: Only the one possessing the power that surpasses the powers of the legendary warriors can battle this monster. And I sense that this being is among you're group.
Kari: That means…
Shamanmon: The warrior destined to defeat the dragon is out there as we speak. You will have to find out on your own.

SSJ4T: Hey, everyone! Sorry this chapter is late. I'd really have to leave ya'll with a cliffhanger every time. Anyway, here's chapter five! I'm off to get some sleep. Peace!
********************************************************************
[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
Shamanmon's Revelation! Who is the Destined Warrior?
Far from where Tai and his team had encountered the mysterious dragon, a village was teeming with many digimon. There seemed to be some kind of fair. Shops were open and dance performances were being displayed.
Walking amongst the digimon crowd was Takuya's team. He and JP easily remembered this area. This is the village where they first meet Shamanmon and uncovered Takuya's beast spirit.
"Doesn't this bring back memories, Taky?" JP asked.
"How could I ever forget this place? This is where we met Shamanmon and uncovered my beast spirit. I'll never forget when I lost complete control."
"It wasn't you're fault and you know it."
"My brother told me about that incident," Kouichi said. "How did you manage to overcome the beast?"
"It was thanks to Tommy. His pleas made me realize what I had done. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably destroy everything that comes my way."
"That was the past, Taky. Controlling our beast spirits now should be a cake walk. Speaking of cake, I haven't had a single bite to eat since we left."
Kari, Davis and Keke were astonished by the number of digimon contained in one village. Veemon turns and finds other Veemons gathered in a saloon.
"Take a look at that, Davish! It's me, me, me and me."
"Whoa, am I tripping or what?"
"You're not alone, Veemon," Gatomon muttered.
The feline digimon points out to another Gatomon watching a dance performance. Kari slightly chuckled.
"At least you're not the only Gatomon in the Digiverse."
"Which makes it even scarier, but none of them pack the wallop I can dish out."
"Wow, so many digimon," Keke said. "I wish I could find a partner for myself."
"So, what are we here for, Takuya? Are we here to take a tour?" Davis asked. "And please tell us that it's munch time! I'm starving."
"First things first, we have to go see Shamanmon. He can probably provide us some clues about these Black Digicores," Takuya said.
"And just who is the heck is this Shamanmon?" the curious blue dragon asked.
"He's the best fortune teller in this village, plus I freed him from my beast spirit. I think we can provide us some form of revelation behind these digicores," Takuya added.
"Fortune telling, huh? Here I thought that stuff was baloney," Gatomon said.
"This whole village is basically a fortune teller's paradise," said JP.
"Hello there, friend," a Vademon calls out to Davis.
"What? Can't you see we're busy here?"
"Don't you want to know what the future lies ahead for you?"
"Um, sure…"
"We're here on an assignment, Davis," Kari said. "Let's get going."
"Aww, but I wanted my fortune told."
"Fortune telling is nonsense. At least, most of it."
"There it is, guys!" Takuya points out to an ancient temple on top of a hill. "I see Shamanmon has done some redecorating."
"Whoa. This is Shamanmon's temple?" Keke asked. "Something tells me this fortune teller will be the real deal."
"Trust me. He knows his stuff."
Takuya leads the group through a long row of steps towards the temple. After crossing every other step, they found themselves standing outside a massive door.
"Would you care to do the honors?" Kouichi asked.
"Ok."
With that said, Takuya walks to the gigantic doors and slowly pushes them open. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across their faces and left them freezing out of their wits. As soon as they walked inside the temple, they felt a strong aura emitting from the holy chambers. It was indescribable as if they were entering the holy grounds of a church. Everyone, excluding Takuya and JP, were astonished at the mosaics surrounding the sides of the temple.
"Whoa. I'd never thought I'd see a temple in the middle of a village." Davis said. "It reminds me of those gothic churches in Europe."
"Since when did you go to Europe?" Kari asked.
"I didn't. I watched a documentary on TV. It was a pretty good feature."
"Davish sure learns a lot from television, doesn't he?" Veemon remarked.
"Well it does beat going to school. I really miss the ol' days. How about you, Kari?"
"Yeah…"
"Shamanmon. Are you here?" Takuya calls out. "It's me Takuya. Remember the kid who saved you from the beast spirit?"
"I don't think he's here, Taky. I think we better go get something to eat first," JP said. "He should be back once we're done."
"I suppose."
"You weren't planning on leaving without saying goodbye, were you?" a rough voice calls out.
The group turns to find a short, goblin-like troll with dark, green skin, a semi-medieval outfit, and orange hair streaked on top of his head.
"Greetings, old friends."
"Shamanmon! It's really good to see you again," Takuya said. "How have things been going?"
"Well, as you can see, my temple has been repaired. I am very grateful that you kids defeated Cherubimon and Lucemon."
"It's all in a day's work," JP said.
Shamanmon turns and finds a group of people he has never seen before. Kari, Keke, Davis and Kouichi had their eyes on the shaman digimon.
"Who might these be? New friends?"
"Yeah. This boy with the blue hair is Kouji's brother. Do you remember Kouji?"
"Yes, this is his brother? How come I haven't seen you before?"
"It's a long story, Shamanmon. Plus, we're here to ask you an important question."
"I'm sorry for being rude. We're a group of heroes from another Digital World in the Eastern Quadrant," said Kari. "My name is Hikari Kamiya and this is my digimon partner, Gatomon."
"Call me Davis Motomiya. No autographs please. This blue little guy is my partner, Veemon."
"I'm Kyoke Ishida, but you can just call me Keke. I'm just tagging along with these two."
Shamanmon took a closer look at the three and examined their inner ki. His widened as he felt a really strong ki emitting from both Kari and Gatomon.
"I sense a great power within you, young lady."
"Oh that. I can explain…"
"Are you the Destined Warrior?!"
"Huh?!"
"Hold on a minute, Shamanmon," Takuya calls out. "What do you mean Destined Warrior?"
"Out of this whole group standing within my chambers, this girl contains the strongest inner power."
"But she's no Legendary Warrior," JP said. "What makes you think she has the strongest inner strength?"
"The flames have already told me about what this girl is capable of. So, you received the mystic training from Gosenzomon?"
"What? You know?"
"Yes, I can see it all. Before hand, you were the one who transcended using Amazing Grace, a rare trait found amongst digital kind."
"But she's only human," Takuya said.
"No, she's a hybrid. The flames have told me that she and this Gatomon are able to merge into an ultimate warrior of speed and strength. The Gosenzomon training was the final test to awaken her sleeping powers."
"Well, I do take after my brother," Kari said. "But it's been years since Gatomon and I have been in our Mystic Celesta form."
"Is that so? Well, it looks as if that form will be necessary to use again."
"What do you mean?" Davis asked. "Is there something out there that's strong enough to take a fusion warrior?"
"Tell me. Are you aware of the legend of the Mystical Dragon?"
"Mystical Dragon?" everyone asked in unison.
"Yes. This Mystical Dragon has been dormant on this world for many eons and has not been awakened… until now."
"What awoke this beast?" Gatomon said.
"You're own allies have awoken the beast after finding the first Black Digicore."
"Whoa! They've got the first digicore! We're on a role now!" Davis exclaimed.
"But at the same time, they have awoken the Mystical Dragon. It is angry and will not rest until it seizes back the four digicores you have taken."
"What's the big deal? Why does this dragon need the black digicores?"
"To ensure it's survival. Without the cores, it will surely perish. There is a strong link between the two. If you were to take them, then the dragon will have no choice but battle you in order to reclaim them. Few individuals have shown courage by snaring these Black Digicores, but were ultimately destroyed by the dragon in the end. No one has been capable of defeating the dragon."
"So, is this dragon a digimon or what?" Keke asked.
"Nobody really knows. No one knows about it's true origins lie. The only important detail I know is that this world has been it's sleeping grounds for many eons."
"Ophanimon told us these digicores were originally a last resort in destroying Lucemon," Takuya said.
"Yes and Lucemon would have surely perished if the cores were used correctly. The only flaw behind these cores is the fact that they have been corrupted by darkness since their creation. If the cores are used to summon a wish, then the cores must be returned to their original location. If they are not returned within a year's time, the planet which the wish was used from these cores will be destroyed."
"We're aware of that," Kari said. "X and Shintomon informed us before we came here."
"All we have to do is gather them and fight this dragon," Kouichi said.
"It won't be easy, because only the Destined Warrior can fight the Mystical Dragon."
"Which means I have to fight this dragon?" Kari added. "Man, why am I the one to get mixed up in this mess?"
"Well, at least you'll give this dragon a thrashing," Davis said. "Don't tell me you've lost you're will to fight?"
"No, not at all. I just haven't fought in my Mystic Celesta form. It's been almost five years and I've been standing time being a mother of two."
"That doesn't mean you should just hang up the boots. Remember, you kicked Virus to the curb and helped us down the D-Reaper," Veemon said.
"C'mon, Kari. I'm willing to fight again if you're capable to," Gatomon replied. "Remember what Tai said…"
"A Kamiya never quits. I never said I was a quitter, but I'm just worried how much weaker I've become since I haven't trained in my fusion form. I don't want any defects to affect my form."
"Defects? What made you think that?" Takuya said.
"It's nothing really. Don't worry. I'm up for this dragon. I know what I must do."
"Tell us, Shamanmon. Do you know the location of the second Black Digicore?" Kouichi asked. "Since Tai's group has one, we ought to go find the second one."
"The second digicore is nearby."
"Really? So where exactly is it?" JP replied.
Shamanmon walks towards the mosaic windows and opens it to reveal a beautiful mountain scenery. The shaman troll points out towards a floating island.
"Hmmm, now where have I seen this before?" JP points out.
"The digicore is on that floating island?" Takuya asked.
"Yes and I have some bad news. The Mystical Dragon is heading it's way over to the island. It's urgent that you must get there before the dragon does."
"Don't you worry, Shamanmon. We'll beat that dragon up and take that digicore," said Davis. "Right, Veemon?"
"If things get ugly, we'll just digivolve straight to Imperialdramon."
"Besides, Agunimon and Beetlemon will provide help," said Takuya. "Right?"
"You got it."
"Well, what the heck are we doing standing around like idiots for? Let's go get that digicore!" Keke exclaimed.
"Goodluck, my friends. Time is of essence."
With that said, the group heads out through the door where they've entered. Takuya led them up down the meadow where the floating island stood above nearly one hundred and seventy feet in the air. On second thought, it would be further up as high as the heavens above. There was exact calucation of the island's altitude.
"Whoa, now that's what I call high," Davis remarked.
"Don't worry, Davish. Imperialdramon can surely get up there in a jip."
"Or Paildramon."
"Hey, Keke. Can you fly?" Gatomon asked.
"Yep."
With that said, the little girl uses levitation to float up from the ground. Takuya, JP and Kouichi were shocked by Keke's levitation technique.
"Whoa! How the heck is she able to do that?" Takuya asked.
"Oh we forgot to tell you. Keke is a hybrid children. She's part human, part digital. Her father is a hybrid warrior named Metalla X. Since he has the levitation technique, Keke has inherited that."
"Ok, you've lost me," JP said.
"Don't worry. We'll explain everything for another time," Kari said. "We've got a digicore to grab. Unless you're anxious to become dragon food."
"All right, guys! There's no use wasting time! Digivolve now!"
[Play Spirit Evolution theme "With the Will"]
Takuya, Kouichi, and JP held out their D-Tectors. Then they scanned their hands through their D-Scanner to unleash their evolution powers.
"Execute! Spirit Evolution!" the boys exclaimed.
First, Takuya evolved into a warrior with pyro-colored armor with yellow shaggy hair and a pair of horns sticking out of his head. He jumps down and unleashes a wave of fire from his fists. The warrior finally shouts out his name.
"Agnimon!"
JP evolved into a beetle-like warrior with dark, metallic blue armor and a rather bulky body. A stag-like shape appeared on his head. His fists became charged with electricity and then he smashes them together. As a result, he sends out a wave of electricity throughout his body.
"Beetlemon!"
Kouichi's clothes were ripped away and his body became digital. He was then infused with the body armor of his human spirit evolved form. In place of Kouichi is a body equipped with black armor, spikes on his shins, a slight yellow mane around his head, and a lion's face embedded on his chest. There is a slight human distinction on his face and he comes down with a shield and battle staff. He cries out while standing in an infamous pose.
"Lowemon!"
["With the Will" fades in the background]
Everyone were astonished by the spirit evolution JP and Takuya had pulled off. Keke was stunned beyond belief.
"Ah, that sort of brings back memories of Omega X," Kari said. "That was pretty impressive guys."
"Now let us veterans show you how it's done," Davis said. "Let's show 'em, Veemon!"
"Right!"
[Play "Target Akai Shougeki"]
Davis' D-3 activates and gives soft a ray of light. The light engulfs Veemon and allows the rookie to digivolve into his champion level form.
"Veemon shinka!"
Veemon's short body started to transform. He grew bigger as large pairs of wings appeared on his back. A large horn appeared on the tip of his nose. His claws and teeth got larger as well.
"Xveemon!"
"You're turn, Gatomon!"
"I'm ready to go!"
Kari's D-3 activates and it emitted a ray of pink light. That very same light engulfs Gatomon and she starts to evolve into her ultimate level form. Her body became human in appearance with long blonde hair coming down her back, with a pair of wings sprouting from her back. A helmet covers the top portion of her face and scantily clad wear covered parts of her semi-naked body.
"Gatomon shinka! Angewomon!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
"So how do you like that?" Davis asked. "Impressed."
"I'd never thought we see adults with digimon. It's crazy to even see it happen," Beetlemon said.
"Let's go you guys. We don't have time to waste. The Mystical Dragon could very well show up any…"
With that said, Lowemon jinxed himself as thunderous roars were heard echoing throughout the heavens. The group looked up to find a massive dragon with five heads eyeing down the floating island.
"Thanks for jinxing us, dude!" Davis said. "Ok, guys! We have to beat that dragon to the punch!"
"Let's move out!"
Since Agunimon lacked the ability of flight, he hops on Xveemon alongside Davis. Lowemon passengers with Beetlemon. Angewomon follows ahead with Kari held tightly on her back. Keke tagged along by her flight technique. The dragon was soaring near towards the island. It knows about the second digicore's whereabouts.
"There it is!" Keke calls out.
"Damn! Now that's what I call a Mystical Dragon!" Agunimon cries.
"Let's get around to the other side and snatch the digicore from there," Beetlemon suggested.
"But it's still going to detect the digicore's location. Remember what Shamanmon told us," Kari said. "They've both linked."
"Don't worry, Kari. We'll take it from here. Xveemon. You and Agunimon find that digicore as hard as you can. Go now!"
"You got it, Davis!"
The group finally lands on the island and watches the two digimon rush through the forest foliage. Agunimon was running ahead with Xveemon watching his back. The warrior of fire attempted to sense out the core's exact location.
"Anything yet?" Xveemon asked.
"Na-da. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."
Suddenly, the dragon's roars were becoming louder and louder. This was a clear indication that the beast was drawing near.
"We better hurry and find that core," Agunimon said. "I think ol' Godzilla breath is onto us."
"Is he able to sense our ki?"
"I'm pretty sure."
After finishing their conversation, the duo rushed further down the forest in hopes of collecting the second digicore. Every time the dragon released a roar, they were becoming a little more antsy than usual. Just then, Agunimon catches a glimpse of a dark sphere. He looks over and points out to it.
"Hey, I think that's what we're looking for!"
"Yeah, that's it. It's black anyway."
"Let's go!"
Agunimon and Xveemon made a beeline for the black digicore. Just as they were about to reach out and grab it, a gigantic hand slams through the forest canopy and grabs the digicore. They were so close to getting it.
"We almost had it!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"We're not giving it up without a fight! All right, hot head! It's time to play fire with fire!"
Agunimon spins around to form a twirling fire tornado that engulfs him. He then unleashed it upon the dragon's dry skin.
"Pyro Tornado!"
The dragon cries out with bloody rage as parts of his skin was scorched from Agunimon's fire technique. Xveemon was next to take his shot.
"V-Laser!"
The dragon digimon unleashes a laser beam from his chest and it struck head on with the center dragon's head.
"I think that should stun him for a bit," said Xveemon. "Now all we have to do is grab the digicore before he revives himself."
"Easier said than done."
Xveemon and Agunimon charged in to grab the digicore, but the Mystical Dragon saw them coming. It unleashed a massive wave of flames from all five heads. The dup moved away as the flames were starting to engulf the forest.
"If he keeps this up, this island is going to become a floating inferno!" Xveemon exclaimed.
"I can't risk using anymore of my fire techniques," Agunimon replied. "We could use a little help by now…"
Just then, a barrage of blasts came shooting out from the other side of the forest and struck the dragon head on. Agunimon and Xveemon easily recognized these attacks.
"Whoa! Thanks Beetlemon! Loweemon!" Agunimon calls out.
"Just in the nick of time, Angewomon!" said Xveemon.
"Hey don't forget me!" Keke's voice was heard from the background.
The other members of the group appeared before the dragon in battle stances. The mystical beast shook off every effect the blasts created.
"That thing isn't even giving in!" Beetlemon exclaimed. "Let's try this again! Thunder Fist!"
Beetlemon strikes the dragon head on with a devastating fist blow. The dragon was reeling back from the charging blow from the warrior of thunder. Lowemon follows it up with a powerful blast from his lion chest mouth.
"Shadow Meteor!"
The dark energy blast struck the beast and it seemed to have caused a bit more damage than Beetlemon's Thunder Fist. Next up was Angewomon as she waves her hands in a rapid pace. She then cups them together and summons forth one of her own custom techniques.
"Holy-"
With that said, she then unleashes a massive wave of holy energy.
"Beam!"
The Mystical Dragon took the massive blow head on and was easily sent flying towards the heavens. Everyone astonished by the ultimate's attack.
"She managed to get it off it's feet!" Agunimon exclaimed. "Unreal!"
"Yep, she's been battling foes a lot tougher than this dragon," Keke said. "You should been there to see her in her prime."
"I wish I could have seen it," Beetlemon said. "Wait, I do remember seeing a warrior similar to that Angewomon battling some creep named Virus. I was only a baby then, but I could never forget that face."
"You're right. That was me and Angewomon fused as Celesta X," explained Kari. "We were in our absolute prime then."
"Um, can we leave conversations for later? I think that hot head is coming right back and he looks pretty pissed off," Davis calls out.
"I'm up for another round!" Xveemon said.
However, the dragon paused and looks down upon the group. The digimon halted their next set of attacks and eyed down the beast. The Mystical Dragon turns it's attention over to Angewomon and Kari. The young woman stood her ground and never took her eyes off the dragon.
"So, it's after me isn't it? Shamanmon did say I was the destined warrior to defeat this dragon. I'm going to have to fight it now? Well, I'm ready. I'm not going to back down. I've been in tighter spots than this."
However, much to everyone's surprise, the Mystical Dragon releases it's grip on the digicore and drops it to the ground. The digimon were just as surprised as the humans were. The dragon tilted it's head as if it were testing the group.
"Kari? You care to do the honors?" Agunimon asked.
The woman responds with a nod and walks over to pick the black digicore up. She looks up at the Mystical Dragon, while not taking her eyes off of it.
"We'll eventually meet, Mystical Dragon. Be prepared."
The five-headed beast growls under it's breath and flies out into the heavens above. Just like it's first confrontation with Tai's group, the dragon has retreated for another day. It most likely was going to seek out the location of the third digicore.
"Well, that was fun," Xveemon said. "I was expecting more bloodshed."
"No kidding," Davis snapped. "Hey, come back here! We're not finished with you!"
"Yeah! You no good coward! You might as well put you're tail between you're legs!" Agunimon calls out.
Kari gazes down on the miniature size of the digicore. Her face straightens into a smile and a slight giggle.
"We've got the second one. Now we both have a digicore in our separate groups. All we need is two more to go."
"I just hope we run into that dragon again," Davis said. "He owes us a rematch!"
"I sure hope Max is doing well," Keke sighed. "I can't stand being away from him."
"Hey, don't forget that kid is with his dad," Agunimon said. "He'll be just fine. Right, guys?"
Everyone else nodded in agreement, which only managed to bring a smile on the girl's face.
****************************************************************************************
As soon as the party was ready to set off on their journey for the last two digicores, Kari looks out towards the sunset horizon with the digicore in her grasp. The wind blew against her hair. She brushes it to the side and couldn't take the Mystical Dragon off of her mind.
"Kari! We're leaving now!" Davis calls out.
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?"
"Mmhmm. I'm fine."
"Want us to wait?" Takuya asked.
"You guys go on ahead. Xveemon and I will catch up with ya'll."
"Suit yourself. Let's move out guys!"
With that said, everyone excluding Davis and Veemon flew out towards the horizon. Davis turns to face Kari. The brown-haired woman had a look of near disdain crossed her face.
"What's wrong, Kari?"
"Nothing. I'm just thinking about TK."
"Ah, you don't have to worry about him. I'm sure he's hacing a blast with Tike and Kara."
"Easier for you to say."
"Well, at least you've got a nice guy for a husband. My wife can be… Well, I love her to death, but she can get on my ass like white on rice."
"No surprise there. She's not one of those who wants to be regarded as a weakling."
"Are you saying you're a weakling? C'mon, you saved our world! You're the one who sent Virus into obvilion."
"I know…"
"This Mystical Dragon shouldn't be that hard to beat. You can just fusion evolve into Celesta X and send him packing!"
"There's something you don't know, Davis. That monster didn't contain an evil ki."
"What?"
"You can call me crazy but Angewomon just told me that dragon has no malice in it's heart. It's only merely doing whatever it takes to protect the digicores. It's sort of like a mother and her children. If we were to take them away, she'll become saddened in despair. Eventually I will have to fight his dragon."
"And you can't bring yourself to killing it?"
"No, because it's never committed any ruthless acts. I can't bring myself to kill a living creature."
"What if it's a digimon?"
"Even Shamanmon is unaware of it's origins. I simply want to defeat it and claim the digicores. This is going to be a very tough decision."
"Just do whatever makes you comfortable. We'll support you no matter what kind of a decision you make."
"Thanks, Davis. Wow, he's really grown up. I wonder how Sonja managed to change him so much."
"Let's go, Xveemon. We don't want to keep them waiting."
"Right! Hop on guys!"
Kari walks over to Xveemon and hopped on his back. She places the black digicore in her pocket and keeps it well hidden.
Takuya's group has successfully gained the second digicore. Can they reunite with Tai's group in time to find the third digicore? And what's the deal with Kari? Will she eventually confront the Mystical Dragon?

Coral: Well, our good ol' author is taking a nap. SSJ4T has announced that he will have little time to write these chapters, but he will do his best. On other news, he's planning on writing the Digimon Fusion special involving the original Digi-Destined's battles with Burizalor. You might have remembered the villain mentioning them during the Burizalor Saga. Well, SSJ4T has just announced he would be working on that plus the alternate future fic involving Dimitri and the artificials. These chapters should be out sometime this month and will continue through February. He also plans on rewriting the first two Mutalior movie fics. What, that's a crap load of stories. Well, that's it for now. Hopefully we'll get the next chapter to the Pharaohmon fic. Peace!

The Toucanmon Paradise! The Third Black Digicore Found?!
"The search for the four Black Digicores have been a success. So far, our teams have found two digicores and not a moment too soon. However, there's been one thing that's been concerning us and that's this whole deal with the Mystical Dragon. Why was it chosen as the guardian of these rare artifacts? But more importantly, why is Kari the destined warrior that Shamanmon prophesied. Is she the only one who wields the power to defeat the dragon? Everything is too confusing even for me to comprehend. Well, all I've got to say is that we're two more digicores away from summoning their hidden power and returning home. We're just about to set off onto an island resided by a group of digimon known as Toucanmon? We've heard rumors from a couple of villagers form an off shore coast that a black orb was seen within the island's volcano. I just hope it's the third Black Digicore we've been looking for. This is Takato Matsuki signing out…"
Hitching a ride on a Whamon, Tai's group set sail for a large island occupied by a small village and a massive volcano in the background. The digimon were starving as each of their stomachs let out low growls.
"Takatomon, I need some food. We've already run out of bread."
"Already? Did you make sure to share the bread?"
"Um…"
"Oh, Guilmon! That bread supply was for everyone!"
"Talk about a glutton," Kouji muttered.
"I don't blame him. I probably would have eaten the whole bag," replied Zoe.
"We don't have to worry about starving! Look guys! We're just ahead of the island!" Tai calls out. "I'm sure there's plenty of food to eat!"
"The Toucanmon are on that island," Tommy said. "I'm sure they'll provide some food for us."
"Don't forget that those same Toucanmon stole our D-Tectors," said Kouji.
"But they in it with Ranamon. They've changed since then," the boy replied. "Don't forget that they've helped us in our run-ins with the Royal Knights."
"Man, I could eat a horse!" Agumon calls out. "How about you, Tai?"
"I could eat a cruise ship!"
"Don't these guys ever think about anything else besides food?" Rika said under her breath. "We don't have time to take a lunch break. We have to find that digicore."
"Yes, but you're stomach obviously doesn't agree with you," Renamon points out.
Suddenly, Rika's stomach was growling amongst the team and everyone turned to face her. Renamon slightly chuckled. A red blush forms across the Digimon Queen's face.
"I guess I can't compete with an empty stomach," Rika said. "Tai! When is this Whamon going to land us on that island?"
"We're almost there. I suggest you buckle down," the leader replied.
Moments later, the team buckled down as Whamon was sailing toward shallow water and onto a nearby shore. Tai and Agumon jumped off Whamon to land onto the muddy shores. The boy takes a small walk across the beach shore and waves out towards the others.
"Come on down! I think the coast is clear!"
"It's not like we're really trespassing, dad," Max stated as he jumps off onto the shore. "I'm sure these Toucanmon will be friendly enough to help us out."
"Alley oop!" Takato calls out.
"Gerinamo!" cried out Guilmon.
The goggle head and his dino partner landed on the shore only to fall into the shore waters below.
"Oh and make sure to watch you're step!" Tai said. "Takato just demonstrated that for us. Are you okay, kid?"
"We're just peachy and who are you calling kid?"
Next, Zoe, Tommy and Kouji were the next people to leap off from Whamon. Zoe was fortunate not to fall into the water. Finally, Rika and Renamon were the last ones to land onto shore.
"I hope you kids will find what you're looking for," Whamon said. "They say the volcano contains a rare artifact that no one has been able to collect."
"Don't worry. We've got that covered. Thanks for the lift, Whamon," Tai said.
"You take care, Whamon! We hope to see you again!" Max calls out.
"Goodbye, Whamon!" everyone else exclaimed in unison.
"Good luck, children!"
The marine behemoth sailed across the seas in search for a resting place to slumber for the next few days. Meanwhile, Tai leads his group through the beach of the island. Zoe looks around the beach and inhaled a breath of fresh air.
"Isn't it just great?! I really wished I had brought my swimming gear!" Zoe said.
"It would be nice to take a little break," replied Tommy.
"What do you say, dad?" Max asked.
"We'll see. First, we need to meet with these Toucanmon. Who knows but they might a place we can slumber at for the night."
"Oh trust me. They'll provide us with everything you could ask for," Tommy said.
"Just make sure they're trustworthy," Kouji remarked.
"Kouji. Let's put the past aside. They were only influenced by that egotistical witch, Ranamon," Zoe replied. "They're really good guys."
"More like obsessed fan boys," Tommy said.
"They sound like shady characters," said Max. "Hey, dad. What do you see?"
Tai takes out his telescope and takes a closer look over towards a beach resort over across the shores. A smile develops on the boy's face as he puts his telescope away.
"Great news, guys! I've found ourselves a resort just ahead! I'm sure those Toucanmon are there like you said."
"Is the resort shaped like a straw house?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah and I think I smelled some food cooking."
"Food?! Then what are we doing standing around here for?" Rika exclaimed. "I get first dibs on food!"
The group started moving out across the sandy shores and made it over towards the beach resort. Tai looked across and found a bird-like digimon with a long bill and black feathers. He quickly realized that it looked a toucan bird and immediately identified him.
"I just found a Toucanmon, guys. Hey, Toucanmon!" Tai calls out.
"Yep, that's one of them," Kouji said.
"Toucanmon! It's us!" cried out Zoe. "Remember us?!"
The Toucanmon turned and saw the group waving over towards him. He responds by rushing over towards him excitedly.
"It's you kids! I'd thought we never see you again!" the Toucanmon responds.
"We were summoned back to the Digital World," said Tommy.
"I see you've been managing your time well," Zoe said. "Looks like you have some more people at the resort."
"Once the Digital World was restored, we started our own beach resort business and we've been making a huge success since then. Take a look! We've had digimon coming here during the summertime. It's crazy, but you'll never forget that you guys were our first guests."
"Though it was a trap to steal our D-Tectors," Kouji points out.
"Yes and we're truly sorry for it. We were only obssessed fan boys for Ranamon. We only did what she told us to do. Never again will we idolize a stuck up like her. Oh and I see you've brought some new friends along. I've never seen them before."
"We're from the eastern section of the Digital Universe," Tai said.
"Easter sector?! Wow, I can't believe you came all the way from out there! Please, welcome to the Toucanmon Beach Resort. You are our guests."
"Check it out, dad! Look at all those digimon!" Max said. "It's like a paradise."
"My colleagues are inside doing their parts to make this resort a success. Please, we'd appreciate if you were to be our guests."
"And we will, but we have questions for you to answer," Takato said.
"Hey, Takato! Look what I found!"
"A seashell, so? You'll find plenty of those at home."
"No, but I saw this funny-looking slug slithering out of it."
"It's called a sea snail, Guilmon."
"Oh, I knew that…"
"First of all, Toucanmon, do you know anything about a rare artifact inside that volcano?" Rika asked. "We heard these rumors about a black orb and we came to believe that it's a Black Digicore."
"Black Digicore? I thought those were merely legends."
"Nope, we've managed to recover one," Max said. "Take a look at this."
The boy pulls out the first Black Digicore from his pocket and shows it in front of Toucanmon. Suddenly, a large group of digimon started gathering around in complete awe. This was their first time to gaze upon the magnificence of such a rare item.
"This is a Black Digicore? It seems so tiny in comparison," said Toucanmon. "Is this what you're looking for within the island's volcano?"
"Yeah, and we need four of these in order to help my dad over here," Max said while pointing out to Tai.
"Hold on. That kid is you're dad? How is that possible?"
"It's a long story, but we need these four items to summon forth its magical powers. They just might be the only way to restore my age," Tai said.
"Why couldn't you use you're own digicores. Don't take this the wrong way. We're not stingy, but we're just very curious."
"Because the digicores in our own world are inactivate. They will need one full Earth year to become useful again," Agumon explained.
"I see. Well, we're willing to help you. What are friends for?" Toucanmon said. "But you guys look like you could use a little grub. Please, you're first meals are on me!"
"Now this is what I'm talking about," Rika said.
"Oh yeah! Free food! Free food!" Guilmon cheered on.
"I can't argue with an empty stomach," Tai said. "Let's go pig out!"
With that said, the group rushed inside the resort to find themselves the perfect buffet table. Zoe, Tommy and Kouji were surprised at how much the Toucanman had expanded their resort. Now there was a gaming area, which brought satisfaction to Tommy.
"All right! They have a gaming room!" Tommy calls out. "I hope they have some really cool games!"
"Wow, you guys really expanded you're turf," Zoe said. "I like it better than the last one."
"I could bring Sora here if I wanted to," Tai said.
"You really think mom would spend her anniversary with a kid, dad?" Max teased.
"I maybe a kid, but I still know how to handle a woman in bed!"
"Oh, Tai. We didn't need to hear that," Rika said. "Besides, you have a kid with you, but that's not really my problem."
"Sure isn't."
"You don't have to worry, Rika. It's not like I mind what comes out from my dad's mouth," Max said.
"I call dibs on the food. I'm really starving," Rika said. "Renamon. You need anything?"
"I'll just check this menu."
Max holds the Black Digicore around his hands and takes a glance over its super rare magnificence. Tai takes a look over at the orb and takes it.
"I think we better keep this hidden. There's no telling if there's any thieves who might get the idea of taking our orb."
"Oh yeah! We can't afford to lose this after everything we've been through. There's one thing that concerns me though."
"What is it, Max?"
"This dragon. After the e-mail Aunt Kari sent us, I'm beginning to wonder if we're the ones being thieves here. After all, we are stealing the dragon's orbs."
"You're right, but these cores are important. We need them for our own purposes. Otherwise, we wouldn't be considered thieves if we really need them."
"But you do think we're doing the right thing?"
"Of course. I don't see why it would be wrong."
"Oh, well I just wanted a little feedback, dad. That's all."
"Are you worried about the dragon?"
"No, but I just sort of feel sympathy for it."
"You're right. Agumon told me that he was unable to sense any ounce of malice within its heart."
"That's so weird. I guess not everything we've encountered are presumed to be evil."
"No, the dragon is not even close. This is the way I see it. It's as if we're stealing away a mother's child. What happens when you kidnap a child, the mother will chase that captive like there's no tomorrow."
"Which means we need to gather the last two Digicores as soon as possible. Plus there's no telling when that dragon will come. I assume it will find us on this island."
"Probably, but let's not worry about that already. Let's go grab some grub!"
"Yeah, I'm with you, dad!"
Tai and Max walked over towards the buffet line to grab themselves a plate full of delicious food. Rika was already grubbing down on a plate of curry rice dipped with soy sauce.
"Wow, Rika is sure pigging out," Guilmon said. "I've never seen her eat like that before."
"Believe me, I'd do the same thing if someone didn't eat all the bread. Right, Guilmon?"
"I couldn't help it if I was hungry, Takatomon."
"Note to self: remind me to hold the bread bag next time."
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Shinjuku
A group of kids were gathered at the local park. A robotic being was standing amongst the children with his arms stretched out. The children gathered around him as he prepared to show pose. Standing at the park's entrance was a teenage boy with brown, spiked hair with a gray t-shirt, black pants and a black cap.
"Guardromon! You really think it's necessary to come out in the open like this? You're already attracting a large crowd as we speak."
I can't help it if these kids love me!"
"We're leaving a few minutes anyway."
"I think you need to lighten up, Kazu. These kids are- Hey, watch it! Don't touch that!"
"Heh, shows how much you know about kids. They're going to kick you to the curb one of these days once something else gets their attention."
"Not true. At least, I hope not."
"Kazu!" a voice calls out.
"Well, if it isn't Mr. Tardy," grunted Kazu.
The other boy running up to Kazu has dark blue hair and he was wearing a red t-shirt with blue jeans and a plaid shirt over his t-shirt. Marine Angemon came flying out from the boy's shirt pocket.
"Pi! Pi!"
"Shh, not now, Marine Angemon. You're going to attract those girls again."
"Are those psycho girls still chasing after this little runt? What do they see in him and not in a guy like me!"
"Maybe cause he doesn't talk back and act like a complete jerk."
"Hey, I resent that, dude. Besides, I wonder how much fun Takato and the fellas are having in that Digital World. I really wish I could have gone. It would be reliving the old days."
"Anything is better than sitting around here."
"At least Guardromon has found a way to entertain himself."
The boys turned to watch Guardromon flexing out his mechanical muscles in front of the naive children. The digimon proceeded with plenty of Hulk Hogan-like impersonations.
"He sure knows how to make the kids happy," said Kenta.
"Tell that to him. He's completely embarrassing me," Kazu muttered.
"I don't know. Maybe you ought to lighten up a bit, Kazu" Kenta thought. "At least Takato and the others are having a lot more fun in that Digital World than we are here sitting on our butts doing nothing."
*****************************************************************************************
Digital World 04. Toucanmon Island Resort
After filling their stomachs with a good meal, Tai led his group through the deep forests of the island. They were already heading over toward the island's volcano in search for the third Black Digicore. According to the Toucanmon, the volcano is said to erupt every year or so, though it was only minor eruptions that never really came off as a major threat to the island's resort.
"Ok, let's get this straight, guys. We have to move as soon as possible. Those Toucanmon warned us about a possible eruption within the volcano," said Tai.
"Don't worry. You've got me and Agumon fighting fire with fire," Guilmon said.
"That's what we're afraid of," Takato said. "Just listen to yourself. We're not here to wreck the island."
"Hey, dad. We better not waste time. There's a good chance that dragon will come here looking for that digicore."
"You're right. Ok, guys. We're going to have to speed up," Tai instructed. "That dragon is said to be coming here. My sister e-mailed me about their encounter with this beast."
"We're always rearing to go," Rika said. "You think bio-merging will actually work?"
"That's a good question. Do you why Guilmon and Renamon have been unable to bio-merge?" Takato asked.
"My guess is that they're not well adapted to this new digital environment. My guess is to have them digivolve into their ultimate forms more often and we might actually see some progress. After all, Agumon and myself haven't managed to fuse yet."
"You think we'll need Omega X for this?"
"I doubt it, Max," Agumon said. "This dragon doesn't seem too strong, but we'll be sure to use Omega X as a last resort."
"Hey! I think that's the entrance into the volcano," Tommy points out. "Doesn't it look like an entrance?"
Everyone turned to find a cavern mouth formed at the end of the mountain. They looked up and saw smoke clouds building up around the top of the volcano head. Tai smirked as he started walking into the cavern.
"It's clear, guys!" Tai calls out. "That Tommy has a sharp eye."
"Man, I've never been inside of a volcano before," Takato responded. "This is so cool."
"Takato, look. I think somebody was here before," Guilmon points out to a pile of bones.
This caused the boy's blood to chill as he saw the pile of bones. Rika simply ignored the pile and started walking off with the group.
"Yo! Hey, wait up!" Takato calls out.
"Something tells me nobody has ever gotten out of here alive," said Guilmon.
"Sounds like this volcano is cursed," said Kouji.
"Nah, I don't believe in those superstitions," replied Zoe. "Unless we manage to found more piles of bones."
"Please, I've seen scarier crap than a pile of bones," Rika retorted. "Anything yet, Renamon? Did you find the Black Digicore?"
"No. Even my keen senses have been unable to locate it."
Suddenly, Tai stops in front of another cavern mouth and looked up ahead to find a row rocky ring formations at the ceiling. He turned and saw massive wall formation with some ancient hieroglyphic writings.
"Hey, check this out guys. Hieroglyphics. If only we had Izzy translate this, then we could figure out a little more about the secrets of this volcano."
"You think there possibly could be anymore people down here?"
"I doubt that," Takato said. "Otherwise, Guilmon would have picked up their scent. Right, boy?"
"Yeah. I don't smell any scent from the tip of my nose."
"Hey, guys! Look up there," Zoe said while pointing out to the ceiling of the volcano.
"What is it? Did you find the digicore?" Tommy asked.
"No, but something tells me we better hurry to find what we're looking for. I have a feeling this volcano is going to go off any minute now."
Suddenly, the entire area was starting to rumble as large amounts of smoke fogs started to collect around the air. The digimon were the first to pick up a high level activity, though it was not ki activity.
"Tai. She's right. This volcano is set to go off and if we stay here any longer, we'll be scorched," Agumon stated.
"Then what are we waiting for, dad?" Max asked while levitating above the ceiling.
"Whoa, Max! Get down from there! You're not sure if that ceiling is going to collapse anytime soon!"
"Don't worry. I have this under control, dad."
Max flies off ahead towards the long, narrow passageway leading deep into the center of the volcano's interior. Tai and the group attempted to catch up with the speedy child.
"You really need to give that kid some self control," Rika said.
"He really has a taste for adventure just like you, Tai," replied Agumon.
"You said it. He's just like his ol' man," Tai remarked.
"Dad! You won't believe this!" the child calls out.
The group follows the trail of Max's voice as they were led into what looked like a center of the volcano interior. In the middle was an altar with an ancient-in scripted box. Tai runs over to Max, who was standing yards away from the box.
"Look at this, dad. I've found some sort of box. The third digicore has got to be in there."
"Then why are you just standing around and not even bothering to grab it? This place is about to erupt."
"There's a protective wall securing it. If I get anywhere near it, I'm going to get burned alive."
"How do you figure that?"
With that said, Max picks up a stone and tosses it towards the protective fiery aura. In a matter of seconds, the rock was instantly incinerated into ashes. Tai was taken back.
"Whoa, there's no way we're crossing through that," Takato said. "Unless you're some sort of human torch."
"Dad, what if you were to evolve straight into Omega X? Shouldn't he able to withstand such heat extremes?"
"The thing is we're not even sure if I'm able to with my body reduced to a kid. My body might not be well adapted to taking such a form."
"You have to at least try. You were ten years old when you first became Omega X."
"True, which means I'll have to work extra hard to regain that form."
"Hey, why don't you just leave this to us? We could use that Omega X to help us deal with that Mystical Dragon," Kouji suggested.
"Don't worry. We should be able to put out this fire," Tommy said.
"Ok, guys. Give it a shot," Tai replied.
"Let's give it a shot, Renamon."
"As you wish."
The younger children pulled out their D-Tectors and quickly scan them through their hands. Zoe unleashes the spirit of the legendary warrior of wind.
"Exeucte! Spirit Evolution!"
Zoe's clothes ripped away as she was instantly in the form of a winged fairy.
"Kazemon!"
Next, Kouji uses his D-Tector to activate the spirit of the legendary warrior of light.
"Execute! Spirit Evolution!"
Standing in Kouji's place is a humanoid wolf digimon with blue armor covering nearly his entire body. The warrior wielded two laser sabers and sheaths them on his back.
"Lobomon!"
Finally, Tommy was the last of the group to activate his ancient spirit: the spirit of the legendary warrior of ice.
"Execute! Spirit Evolution!"
Now in Tommy's place is a white, snow bear with a green hat over his head, a green backpack and boot accessories. His face was very much different from his fellow legendary warriors because it looked rather cartoonish in appearance.
"Kumamon!"
Takato pulls out a card and scans it through his D-Ark. Guilmon was getting a power boost rather than an evolution.
"Card Slash! Power Activate!"
Going along with Takato's strategy, Rika pulls out a card and slashes it through her coveted D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Yuki Agumon's Frozen Wind!"
"This is what I'm talking about!" Tai exclaimed. "On my mark, set, FIRE!"
Kazemon and Guilmon were the first to volunteer by firing away their most useful techniques. Guilmon shoots a blast from his mouth while Kazemon unleashed tornado waves from her hands.
"Pyro Sphere!"
"Hurricane Wave!"
Lobomon, Kumamon and Renamon were then next to deliver some of their own techniques, which might even put up a greater resistance against the firewall.
"Howling Laser!"
"Blizzard Blaster!"
"Frozen Wind!"
The combined frozen blast from both Kumamon and Renamon's copy of Yuki Agumon's attack was enough to at least open a small passage through the wall of fire. This gave Tai and Max the final opportunity to snatch the box.
"Max! Grab the box when you still have time! Hurry!"
"You got it!"
Max powers up and flies over through the gaping wall hole. He flies around into a u-turn and snatches the box in a matter of seconds. The boy saw that the hole was closing up faster than it already was.
"Tai! He's not going to make it through!" Agumon calls out.
"Hang in there, Max! We're coming!" Tai exclaimed.
However, Max simply smirked as he sends out an invisible ki force that opens an even wider gap within the wall. The group was simply stunned by the boy's sudden ability to manipulate strong ki at such a very young age.
"Wow, I actually pulled that off?!" Max thought. "Maybe I should have put more force into that."
The boy managed to fly through the gaping hole and lands in front of the group. Max held the mystic box in place and drops it to the floor.
"That was close, Max," Takato said. "You almost had us scared!"
"Ah, sorry for that guys. At least we got what we're looking for," the boy said.
"Let's not get too hasty," Lobomon retorted. "For all we know, it could be a trap."
"Hey, don't jinx us," Kazemon snapped. "Go ahead, Max. Open it."
Max slowly opens the lid of the box and peers through to find a levitating orb. It was glowing with a light purple aura and this caught Max's attention.
"Great job, Max! We've just snared the third digicore!"
"That makes two for our side and one for Takuya's group. If they can at least manage to find the last one, they'll save us the trouble. It's wonder there hasn't been anyone capable of capturing the digicores. Those bones we found were most likely collectors attempting to take the core for their own selfish greed," Agumon explained.
"That's a very good observation," Rika said. "Now that we have it, can we get the hell out of here? You even said this place was going to set off."
"True. C'mon, guys! We're heading back to the Toucanmon Resort!" Tai calls out.
"Yay! I could use a little nappy time," Guilmon said. "What about you Ta-"
Suddenly, Guilmon felt a strange presence within the volcano's interior and quickly growls under his breath. Takato took notice of his partner's sudden aggression. The same was happening with Renamon.
"Guilmon? What is it?"
"Rika. There's something else within these chambers," Renamon replied.
"I'm picking up a ki, Tai. I don't like this."
"Is it the dragon, Agumon?"
"No, it's far different from that of the dragon we've encountered."
"You guys! Take a look up ahead!" Max calls out.
Max points out to a massive scorpion-like monster with blue emerald-like eyes embedded on its face. It's mouth contained an array of shark-like teeth and it's stinger was equipped with a blade-like tip coated with deadly venom.
"Damn! I knew it was too good to be true!" Lobomon cursed.
"So my observation was wrong," Agumon said. "It was that monster that devoured and left those pile of bones."
"Who cares what it is, I say we attack it head on! Who's with me?!" Max said.
"Hold on, Max. Let's not even waste our energy on this thing. We're here to collect the digicore and that's it," Tai said. "This place is going to blow, so we better get out of here! Move out!"
"And make sure our hungry friend doesn't follow our lead," said Max.
With that said, the group headed out through the exit passage of the central section of the volcano. The scorpion beast was hot on their trails with deadly intentions. The roof of the volcano started to collapse one by one. Tai saw the opening to the outside and manages to run through it. Soon, everyone else caught up with the leader. Guilmon and Agumon fire away their fire blasts to create a rockslide. This way it would prevent the scorpion from escaping.
"All right! Now that we have him out of the way, we can get back to the resort in one piece," Takato sighed.
"Um, guys. I think we better reconsider," Max said.
"Why say that, Max?" Tai asked.
"Take a good look behind you. Our scaly friend is back."
They turned around to find themselves standing in front of the five-headed dragon beast. Yes, the Mystical Dragon has found Tai's group and sets it's sights on the black digicore. The monster roars angrily as he blew flames towards their direction. Lobomon, Kazemon and Kumamon were able to fend off the flames with their attacks.
"Hurricane Wave!"
"Lobo Kendo!"
"Blizzard Blaster!"
Guilmon and Renamon were ready to attack as their Tamers pulled out their evolution upgrade cards.
"Card Slash! Evolution!"
Matrix Evolution
"Guilmon chou shinka! War Growlmon!"
"Renamon chou shinka! Taomon!"
Standing in place of the rookies, the cyborg and the Taoist warrior headed over to aid Lobomon and Kumamon. War Growlmon activates his ultimate attack and his chest plates open up.
"Atomic Blaster!"
Taomon unleashed a paintbrush and forms a Kanji lettering in the form of a column of light.
"Talisman Overwrite!"
The Tamer digimon fired their patented attacks at the multi-headed monster, but it was not strong enough to slow it down. The dragon turned its attention over to Tai and Max. Lately, the monster has had its eyes set on those with Kamiya blood. First Kari. Now her own brother and nephew.
"Dad, remember when Kari sent us that e-mail concerning how Kari was the destined warrior. Well, what if there are more than one destined heroes? What if this dragon is after us. Doesn't that make it pretty obvious?" Max stated promptly.
"You know something. You're right. Why is this dragon really after us? Maybe it finally has a taste of choosing its challengers. I'll give the devil it's due for good taste," Tai said.
"Then let's attack it and get this over with!" Max exclaimed.
"Hold on, Max. Let's not get too hasty yet."
However, it was much too late for Tai to prevent his son from committing the course of action he was about to take. The boy flies up and lands on top of the dragon's head.
"Max! Get down from there!" Tai calls out.
"That kid is crazy!" Kazemon exclaimed.
"I've got this one under control. Don't worry, guys!" Max responded. "All right, dragon breath. Why are you so interested in my family? What do you see in us? Maybe you see as you're greatest threat? I don't know this whole deal with the destined warrior, but I want you to leave my family alone. Got it?"
The beast responds by blowing out a wave of flames towards the boy's direction. Max phases away from the fire blast and delivers a diving head butt, which knocks the multi-headed monster back a few yards.
"That's it! We're going in, Agumon! Let's give the digital fusion a try!"
"Right!"
With that said, Agumon struggles to gain enough energy to enable him and his partner to merge with one another. After a few tries, Agumon's body starts to emit an orange aura. Tai sighs in relief as his partner successfully summoned the power to fusion evolve. However, his relieves were silenced as Agumon quickly evolved straight to War Greymon.
"Huh? Hey, I thought we were going to fuse, Agumon!"
"Sorry, Tai. Omega X isn't needed for this. This dragon is weak compared to the foes we've faced in the past. Besides, Kari stated that this creature has no malice in its heart. We can't kill it."
"But we can knock it unconscious."
"You bet."
"Then show her what you've got!"
"Hang in there, Max! I'm coming!" the mega digimon cries out.
"Hey, Tai. How was Agumon able to digivolve into mega?" Takato asked. "How can he while Guilmon and Renamon have no luck?"
"My guess is that bio-merging and fusion are pretty much limited in this Digital World."
"That's not true, because I have the ability to fuse my human and beast spirits," Lobomon said.
"What? Beast spirit?" Tai said. "You mean fusion works in this world?"
"It sure does," replied Kumamon.
"There's no reason why Guilmon and Renamon shouldn't have been able to merge with their partners," Kazemon said. "They ought to be able to."
"Tai! Look!" Guilmon calls out.
The leader turns to find War Greymon and Max blitzing around the beast. War Greymon uses his time warp technique to appear in front of the dragon and cups his hands together.
"TERRA-"
Slowly, an orange orb of energy forms in the mega's hands. Max flies away as War Greymon unleashed a massive wave towards the dragon.
"BEAM!"
The blast managed to cover nearly the entire landscape and it looked as though it would destroy everything within its path. However, War Greymon knew his overwhelming ki blast would destroy the island, so he curves his attack and puts full focus on the dragon. The blast easily sends the dragon soaring up into the heavens. Luckily, the mega held back what looked like a small portion of his strength.
"Yeah! Way to go, War Greymon!" Max cheered.
"Thank god you moved that blast and directed it towards the dragon. We all could have been done in by that blast," Tai said.
Looking on from afar, Lobomon, Kazemon and Kumamon looked on with stunned looks on their faces.
"Hold the phone! Is this guy really a mega?! He seems beyond that level!" Lobomon thought.
"Look up there! The dragon is getting away again!" Rika points out.
The group looks up to find that the Mystical Dragon was soaring off into the distance once again. War Greymon flies down and powers down his aura.
"You were great out there, War Greymon!" Max said.
"That was just a little taste of what I have left to offer," the mega responded. "Wait until a real challenge pops out of nowhere."
"At least we have the third digicore in our possession," said Tai. "That's all that matters to me at the moment."
"Three down and four more to go," Takato said. "I just hope Takuya and the others can get to that last digicore in time."
"With only one more digicore to find, we're only one step away to restoring my age," Tai thought. "But then again, we still have to end up fighting the dragon in the end. I have a feeling this thing is merely testing us until the final confrontation. That's when we'll spring out our ultimate weapon: Omega X."
Feeling disappointed, Tai hopes the next confrontation with the Mystical Dragon will be the final straw. On the bright side of things, the crew has captured the third digicore. With only one more to go, will they eventually restore Tai's age?

Takuya: Which means we'll have to fight the Mystical Dragon.
Takato: This is it everyone! Digivolve into you're highest levels! We're ending this now!
Tai: I can't wait to bring back ol' Omega X into the fray.
Max: But we can't kill it or else we'll be considered murderers.
Tai: The dragon is changing into a new form… into some sort of goddess?
Takuya: So the Mystical Dragon is a she? I knew it had some maternal instincts, but I never knew it was female.
Rika: Not all woman want to be portrayed as maternal. I'm a perfect example of that.

The Final Digicore Found! The Mystical Dragon's True Form is Unveiled!
Flame Terminal
The village in Flame Terminal has been rebuilt along with many other homes after the Digital World was restored. The native villagers have been living their lives in peace since then.
Sitting on a chair with a book in hand is a tiny, creamed-colored digimon with beady, black eyes, a pink skirt-like clothing wrapped around his waist and a gray snout pasted on his face. The digimon spoke on a slight, British accent while reading what looked like a novel.
"Finally, I've managed to publish my novel. Now I'm looking to become a best selling author. I really do miss Takuya and the kids…"
"Bokomon! Oh, Bokomon!"
"Oh, no… That voice… It's none other than… you, Neemon!"
Bokomon turns to find a yellow rabbit digimon with a pair of red pants and his eyes were completely shut as if he had fallen sleep. Neemon took a glance over at Bokomon's published book.
"Hey, you finished you're book! Can I see it?"
"Wait for you're turn…"
"Did you manage to put me in there like you promised…"
"Umm… Yes, you're mentioned…"
"Ah! Cool!"
"You know, Neemon. Everything here has been quite boring if you ask me. It's been a long time since Takuya and the children departed from the Digital World."
"Yep. I really miss them. Hey, why don't we call them over?"
"Nenkump-poop! How are we supposed to contact them if we don't have access to the human world?!"
"Oh, I forgot…"
Just then, the pair looked out towards the heavens as a massive figure was flying in the distance. Bokomon took out his binoculars to take a closer view of the mysterious figure.
"Bokomon? Who is it?"
"Hush."
The figure turned out to be a massive flying reptile with massive hawk-like wings, a metallic helmet over its face, a crimson body and a pair of horns on the sides of it's head. Bokomon's eyes widened and quickly recognized the monster. He then turned to find a brown-haired woman and a little girl with a Gatomon, a young man and a blue-haired boy riding on the back of an Xveemon; not to mention a beetle-like warrior.
"Neemon! Neemon! They're here!"
"Who? Santa Claus?"
"Wrong!"
Bokomon pulls on Neemon's pants and causes it whiplash the rabbit digimon.
"Ow! Hey, I told you not to do that again…"
"They're here, Neemon! It's Takuya and the gang! They're back!"
"Ah! Cool! They're back!"
"Well, I've only caught a glimpse of Burning Greymon, Beetlemon and Kouichi. I wonder where the other children are? And who are these new fellows along with them?"
"We'll see once we ask them. Here they come!"
*********************************************************************
In a matter of moments, Neemon and Bokomon gathered a large digimon crowd together as they cheered on for the arrival of the Digital World's heroes. Neemon held up a Welcome Back, Heroes sign while others simply chanted.
Burning Greymon was the first to notice and formed a grin on his face. Everyone soon realized that they were about to receive a grand welcome by the natives of the Flame Village
"Hey, you know these guys?" Kari asked.
"Yeah. We nearly saved their village against the Royal Knights," Burning Greymon replied. "Even though they had lost their home before, we made up for it by restoring the entire Digital World."
"Wow. You guys are pretty popular here," Davis said. "If only I received a welcome everywhere I go."
"Davis. You would have to pull something out of you're ass in order to do that. We haven't had a good track record for quite a while," Xveemon said.
"Well thank you for supporting me," retorted Davis.
"It's ok, Davis. I'm sure you'll commit a heroic deed one of these days," Keke said. "Who knows?"
"I'm not about to give up. I will become a legendary hero."
"Wow, this sure is a welcoming committee," Beetlemon said.
"Look! It's Neemon and Bokomon!" Kouichi points out.
"Legendary Warriors! Welcome back!" Bokomon calls out. "We missed you!"
"Surprised to see us?" Burning Greymon asked.
As soon as the group landed at the center of the village, the digimon crowded around the heroes. Takuya and JP de-evolved from their digimon forms as Bokomon and Neemon leaped into their arms.
"Whoa! Hold on there!" Takuya said. "It's good to see you guys again."
"You don't realize how long I've been anticipating you're return!" Bokomon cried. "We never thought we'd see you again."
"It's better than not ever seeing us again," JP replied.
"Wow, who are these guys? Are they new friends of yours?" Neemon points out to Kari, Keke, and Davis.
"Yeah. We pretty have a lot to discuss," Kouichi replied. "Believe me. You'll get a better understanding of why we were summoned back into the Digital World."
"Well, I'm up for it. I was going to ask you that same question. Why did you come back to the Digital World?" Bokomon asked with curiosity.
*********************************************************************
After nearly half an hour of explanation, the children had discussed their newest mission. Bokomon was getting a better understanding and was quite familiar with the black digicores.
"I see. You brought to find these four black digicores? So, it's true. They aren't a myth. There hasn't been any information based on them and I always regarded them as a myth. Then again, the Legendary Warriors were once again summoned. So anything is possible."
"That's right and we were sent by Shintomon to assist them," Kari said.
"I can't believe you know THE Shintomon. I never really thought there would be other Digital Worlds."
"Tell us, Bokomon. Do you happen to have any idea of where we can find the last digicore. It's imperative that we know," said Kouichi.
"I'm afraid I don't know. I've never seen one before…"
"Here, we have one so far," Keke said while holding out a digicore.
"Is that what I think it is?!" Bokomon asked. "A Black Digicore!"
"Yeah and our friends already have two," Davis replied.
"Unfortunately, I have not seen one. They would have to be rare to find," Bokomon said. "And this village certainly doesn't contain many rare artifacts from what I've studied."
"Yeah and we had better find it before the Mystical Dragon beats us to it first," Gatomon replied.
"Speaking of which, we have to call up Tai and let him know where we are," Takuya said. "That way we can work this thing out together and find that last digicore."
"To restore my brother's age," Kari said. "He really needs it."
"um, Bokomon…" Neemon muttered. "Bokomon…"
"What?"
"Thought I should tell you that some of our friends just found this black, shiny orb thingy outside the Trailmon station."
"A black, shiny orb thingy. Neemon, what did I tell you about call things 'thingies'… Oh my heavens! Did you just say a black orb?!"
"A shiny black one. Yeah, that's right."
"That has to be the last digicore! It's been here the whole time?!" the group exclaimed.
"I just find out a while ago," Neemon replied.
"Well, guys. We're in luck," said Davis. "I say we take that orb and we'll just wait for Tai's group to get here."
"I can't believe we were upped by a rabbit and his buddies," Veemon muttered.
"As least we have what we're looking for, that's all that matters to me," Kari said.
"Yay! I'll get to see Max again!" Keke squealed happily.
"All right, guys. Let's get moving. I've just received an e-mail from my brother," said Kari. "He and the gang are on their way over."
"That's great. Neemon, show us where they found the digicore," Davis ordered.
Neemon nods and led the group out from Neemon's front door. They were heading off past the Trailmon station and outside a rock formation. A group of digimon was gathered at their latest "discovery".
"Is that where the digicore was found?" JP said. "I never thought we'd find it here of all places."
"Let us take a look," Takuya said as he walks by the digimon.
"Is it the digicore?" Gatomon calls out.
The goggle boy bends down and snatches up the black orb. He viewed its magnificence and grinned like a two-year-old.
"You bet you're ass we found out! Our mission is complete!" Takuya announced.
"All right! I can't believe how easy this mission turned out to be!" Davis exclaimed.
"I wouldn't say that. You forget that the Mystic Dragon is going to be looking for that digicore," Kari pointed out.
"Then, we must stand guard," Kouichi said. "If anything, we'll simply evolve into our beast forms."
"Good thinking. Our human forms didn't do much to put any damage on that thing," Takuya replied. "Wait until everyone else arrives, then we'll attack with a full on assault."
"As long as we don't kill it," Kari said. "Let's just do whatever we can to protect the digi cores, but at the same time spare the dragon."
"But you're that destined warrior, Kari," Davis said. "You have to make that choice. Either destroy it or spare it."
"And I'm standing with my decision."
"I sure hope it's the wise decision," Bokomon replied.
Suddenly, the digimon felt an incoming amount of ki arriving from different directions. Gatomon was the first to detect it. Kari takes notice of this and kneels beside her.
"What is it, Gatomon?"
"They're here!"
"Tai and the others? They're here?"
"Yep. Look!"
As soon as she said that, the group looked up and found War Greymon flying over the distance. Tai and Max wave out to their comrades. Along with them was Kazemon. She carried along Kumamon and Lobomon. Rika rode on Taomon's back while Takato was aboard War Growlmon.
"Way to go, guys! We thought you'd never come!" Davis calls out.
War Greymon lands down with Tai and Max. Keke rushes over towards the young boy and applies a hug on him. Max's eyes bulge out as he gasped for air.
"Ack! You're choking me, Kek!"
"Tai! We found the last digicore!" Takuya calls out. "Isn't that just great?! Now we can go meet with Ophanimon!"
"I'm only one step away from regaining my age," Tai sighed in relief. "Man, I'm sure going to miss being a kid."
"Tai, you already were a kid as a man," Kari chuckled. "You'll never change."
"Better being a kid than a bore," the goggle head leader said. "Well, Max. Ready to get going?"
"Yeah!"
"Wait a second you guys!" Bokomon calls out.
"What is it, Bokomon?" Kazemon asked.
"How about a group picture?"
With that said, everyone else fell back in complete embarrassment. Bokomon looks on with a rather cheesy grin on his face.
"Bokomon," Lobomon muttered.
"What? I need some pictures for my scrap book."
"Can I be in the group picture?" Neemon asked. "Oh, Please. Oh, please."
"Ok! Ok! You get to be in the group picture too!"
"Yay!"
Just then, War Greymon and the other digimon felt a disturbing ki in the air. They looked about for the source of the huge ki.
"War Greymon?" Tai asked. "We have company don't we?"
"Yes. I can feel the Mystic Dragon. It's heading this way."
"Figures, that monster just won't give up!" Takato exclaimed. "Ready for another round, War Growlmon?"
"You bet!"
"Taomon, we're going to give this our best shot!" Rika said.
"I won't let you down, Rika."
"Hold on a minute you guys! Gatomon and I will take this beast," Kari said.
"Wait a minute. You want a shot at this dragon?!" Tai asked frantically. "That thing was out for Max and I."
"Don't forget Shamanmon said himself that I'm the destined warrior that is prophesized to defeat it once and for all."
"But, Aunt Kari… I think this monster is out for the three of us. Call me crazy, but it might do something with that fact that we're all Kamiyas."
"You know the kid has a point," Kouichi said.
"You sure you guys want to lend a hand?" Kari asked.
"Yeah. You know how much I want this," Tai said. "Besides, War Greymon hasn't had good action lately and I'd like to see what new tricks he has up his sleeve."
"Hey, dad. How about we surprise this thing with a little ol' Omega X action!" Max suggested. "We'll win in a snap for sure."
"Nah, that would be too easy," Tai replied. "Let's make this battle interesting."
"Besides, we're not too sure if we can merge, Tai. Takato and Rika were unable to bio-merge with their partners. That should also apply for us."
"Damn, you're right, War Greymon. But it never hurts to try."
Suddenly, the massive multi-headed dragon came soaring down from the heavens as it leveled parts of the train terminal with fire blasts. Digimon villagers started to evacuate from the site as fire started collecting. Fortunately, local digimon were able to find sources of water to put the flames out.
"Oh no! The village! Not again!" Neemon and Bokomon exclaimed.
The dragon focuses its attention on Tai and Takuya's groups. Its eyes were set on every one of the digimon and the four digicores. The fated battle was set and whoever survived would claim the right to hold the four black digicores.
"Here it comes, you guys!" Takuya calls out. "Don't worry, Tai. We'll take it from here! Spirit evolve you guys!"
[Play "With the Will" during Spirit Evolution Sequence]
Takuya, Kouichi and JP pulled out their D-Tectors one by one. They scanned them across their hands and activated their Beast Spirits in the process.
"Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!"
Takuya was transformed into a fiery beast with a pair of massive, eagle-like wings and his body was covered by red armor. A face helmet engulfed his face with a pair of horns on each side and another horn on the front part.
"Burning Greymon!"
Kouichi was transformed into a dark lion beast with black armor and a yellow mane wrapped around his neck.
"JagerLowemon!"
JP was transformed into a tank machine with the head similar to a rhinoceros beetle. A pair of arm cannons appeared at each hand and his 'horn stag' was actually a cannon. The walking tank stood alongside his comrades.
"Metal Kabuterimon!"
"Now it's our turn!" Kumamon said.
"Slide Evolution!"
Kazemon, Kumamon and Lobomon had now evolved straight into their beast forms. In place of Lobomon is a modified version of Metal Garurumon only with a lighter shade and smaller size. Standing in Kumamon's place is a gigantic snow beast with massive horns and a pair of battle-axes. Kazemon evolved into a much mature creature with scantily clad battle clothing, blue hair and a mask to cover her face.
"Kendo Garurumon!"
"Korikkakumon!"
"Zephrymon!"
The six legendary warriors stood in front of the battle lines. War Growlmon and Taomon soon stepped up to even up the plane field. Neemon and Bokomon could only look on with ecstatic looks. They were reliving the nostalgia dream of the reunion of the spirits.
"Look at this, Neemon! I never thought I'd see this happen."
"Me either. You ought to write another book on this, Bokomon."
"That's not such a bad idea. I'll even include these kind strangers and their digimon. My first chapter will be…"
"Bokomon. You and Neemon better get out of here," Tai said. "Things are going to get really ugly."
"You're right. Let's get out of here, Neemon!"
"But I want to some the action!"
"We'll watch from a safe distance!"
Bokomon drags Neemon away from the battlegrounds. This would allow the digimon to attack the dragon with everything they have. There would be no holding backs from either side.
"Ok, the village seems to have cleared," Davis said. "I say we rumble!"
"Ok, guys! The coast is clear! Give everything you've got!" Max calls out. "I can't wait to see these legendary warriors fight."
"All right, guys! Let's how 'em what Legendary Warriors are all about!" Burning Greymon calls out.
["With the Will" fades]
"Yeah!" they exclaimed in unison.
"Takato! I'm joining them!" War Growlmon said. "Wish me luck!"
"Like you ever need it, pal!"
"Kick some ass, Taomon!"
War Growlmon and Taomon charge out to join the Legendary Warriors to fight off the Mystical Dragon and defend the Flame Village. Tai, Max, Davis, Keke and Kari all looked on from the sidelines.
The Mystical Dragon quickly maneuvers away as the digimon charged in for the attack. Fortunately, Burning Greymon turned and shoots out a wave of flames that managed to stun the dragon.
"Wild Fire Tsunami!"
"Mystic Wave!"
The Mystical Dragon pulled out all the stops by unleashing blasts from each mouth and combined them together. The waves managed to extinguish the flames. Zephrymon was next to make her move.
"Hurricane Hail!"
The dragon spreads it's massive wings and started to blow back the hail, which the digimon had created. Zephrymon is sent crashing back due to her attack being deflected back.
"Lupine Laser!"
The dragon turns and is blasted by Kendo Garurumon's patented attack. JagerLowemon leaps out from out of nowhere and unleashes a deadly slash on the dragon. The beast screeches as a claw slash was left on its middle head. JagerLowemon and Kendo Garurumon were just about to make their next attack, but the dragon had quickly recovered from the assault. It's second head raises and unleashes a blue fiery wave. The digimon jumped away as the blast impacts towards the ground they had stood.
The Mystical Dragon charges forth at Kendo Garurumon and delivers a tail swipe. JagerLowemon rushes over to tend to his fallen digimon comrade.
"Kendo Garurumon! Are you okay?"
"Yes… This thig packs quite a wallop."
"I think you and Burning Greymon ought to fusion evolve."
"Good idea… But I don't think fire breath is going to want to wait for us to pull off that trick."
"We'll buy you enough time then."
Korikkakumon leaps over the dragon and goes to ram his axes into the beast's hide. Unfortunately, the Mystical Dragon saw it coming and delivers a painful tail swipe, which sent Korikkakumon flying backwards. Metal Kabuterimon was next as he was powering up his cannon.
"Eat this! Bolo Thunder!"
The multi-headed beast maneuvers away from the blast and fires multiple fire blasts. Unable to avoid the shots due to his massive size, Metal Kabuterimon was on the receiving end of multiple blasts.
"Things aren't looking good," Keke said.
"C'mon War Growlmon! Taomon! It's up to you now!" Tai calls out. "If they fail, then we'll possibly have to bring out our trump card."
War Growlmon charges forward and collides with the dragon. The titans struggle while the ground around them was being crushed. The dragon's multiple heads began an array of fire blasts that started to push War Growlmon back. The cyborg digimon sliced his way through the blasts and rams his blades into the dragon.
"Radiation Blades!"
However, the beast saw this coming and lashes it's tail out. War Growlmon struggled as the tail began to wrap itself around the cyborg as if it were a constrictor. The dragon started putting the tightening grasp on War Growlmon.
"War Growlmon! Fight out of it! You can do it!" Takato calls out.
The deafening cries of War Growlmon echoes throughout the heavens as the beast applied more pressure. Taomon flew from another corner and summons her paintbrush. She then waves it in a poetic manner and forms a large Kanji symbol in front of her.
"Talisman Overwrite!"
The spell cast attack came showering down upon the Mystical Dragon with great velocity. The dragon turned and was struck across its middle head. The beast screams out ferociously and began to lash out ruthlessly. It loosened its grip on War Growlmon and drops the ultimate digimon. Taomon flies out towards War Growlmon and they quickly regrouped. War Growlmon shook the 'cobwebs' out from his head and faced off against the enemy.
"That was close!" Takato sighed with relief. "Taomon saved him in the nick of time! Um, Rika?"
"We're not out of the neck of the woods just yet."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Take a look behind you, goggle head."
The boy turns the other corner and watches as the Mystical Dragon charges up for an attack. Taomon and War Growlmon moved out into different directions. The beast's body was emitting a turquoise aura and each of its heads were flaring up red flashes. War Growlmon's chest armor opened up and a massive red ball of energy started to build up. It then was condensed into a massive wave of red energy and it's full force connected with the Mystical Dragon.
"ATOMIC BLASTER!"
The blast not only struck the Mystical Dragon head on, but it pushed it back through the ground. The dragon was plowed through the concrete as the beam was sent soaring up into the heavens. The beam explodes as soon as it reaches the atmosphere and dissipates into a shower of lights. Takato looks on with a proud grin as War Growlmon stood above the fallen dragon.
"Way to go! That ought have knocked some sense into it!" Takato cries out. "We did it… No… It can't be…"
The boy's happy cries were soon replaced by nervous stutters. Rika was also beginning to notice something about the situation. Her eyes widened in utter shock as she saw the Mystical Dragon rising up before it's very feet with very little battle scars. War Growlmon couldn't believe his very eyes.
"No! I struck her head on!" War Growlmon exclaimed. "That should have deleted her…"
"I understand now," Burning Greymon said. "This dragon's will to live is what is keeping it moving. It will not rest until it has regained the digicores."
"Yeah, he's got a point," Tai said. "Besides, we were the ones who provoked it."
"So, what now? Can't we reason with it?" Max asked.
"No, we have to knock some sense into it before we can do anything of the sort," Kendo Garurumon said. "Burning Greymon! It's de-evolve to our human forms and summon forth Fusion Evolution."
"Yeah, good idea!"
With that said, Burning Greymon and Kendo Garurumon's bodies were quickly being rewritten in fractal code. Their size was reduced to the size of children. Now standing in their place were Takuya and Kouji. Both of them held out their D-Tector in order to prepare themselves for their next evolution.
"This ought to be interesting," Kari said. "I wonder if fusion will work for them."
"It's worth a shot," Davis replied.
[Fusion Evolution dub instrumental theme]
Takuya held his D-Tector and scans it across his hand. A twist of fractal data started to twirl all around Takuya's body as he prepared for his evolution.
"Execute! Fusion Evolution!"
The boy's clothes were ripped away as the spirits of his beast and human forms encircled him. Standing in the boy's place was a red armored warrior with a wave of shaggy, orange fiery hair. His face looked exactly like Agunimon. On his back was a pair of eagle-like wings, which were thanks in part of Burning Greymon. His elbow blades glistened with a wave of fire torching at the sides of his body. The warrior lets out a war cry and calls out his name.
"Aldamon!"
Next, Kouji held his D-Tector and did the same as Takuya did before him. A twist of data engulfed his body.
"Exeucte! Fusion Evolution!"
Kouji's clothes were torn away as the data engulfed nearly his entire body. His beast and human spirits encircled him as they combined into one powerful force. In place of Kouji is a light-blue armored warrior with a tuft of dirty blonde hair behind his armored head. His face was very much similar to that of Lobomon. However, there was now a blade sword that materialized in his hand. This was thanks in part to Kendo Garurumon's tail. The tail had now become a weapon for battle. The warrior fires away a blast from tiny arm cannon embedded within the digimon's left hand. The new warrior lets out his own war cry and calls out his name.
"Beowulfmon!"
[Theme ends]
Max and Keke looked on with their eyes sparkling before their very eyes. Davis was quite impressed with Veemon looking on. Tai and Kari smiled at the sight.
"Wow! Now that's awesome!" Max calls out. "Hey, dad! You think we ought to show them Omega X now?"
"Not yet, Max. I think they should handle this. We'll be sure to back them up in case that dragon decides to turn up the heat."
"I never thought I'd see another group of kids perform such a technique," Kari said.
"Yeah, but they're still nowhere near Omega X in strength," Gatomon said. "But I'll give it to these guys. They've raised their ki nearly five-fold."
"Incredible. I assume they're already past the mega level," Veemon said.
"Could be a possibility," War Greymon replied.
Back on the battlefield, Aldamon and Beowulfmon stood their ground with new power coursing through their bodies. The Mystic Dragon kept its pair of eyes on the duo with keen interest. One head started off by firing a massive fire blast. The newly evolved duo leaped away and allowed the blast to penetrate through the ground.
The other legendary warriors rose to their feet as they watched their comrades battling it out with the Mystic Dragon. JagerLowemon was fortunate to revive the other three.
"Takuya and Kouji just fusion evolved. That should at least give them a fighting chance," JagerLowemon said.
"Good. C'mon, Takuya. Kouji," Zephrymon said under her breathe.
The dragon unleashed an array of fire blasts from each head repeatedly. Aldamon flies up and swerved around the heads and directed each blast towards the dragon itself. Beowulfmon charges forth and holds out his double-edge blade and summons forth a wolf-shaped energy wave.
"Frozen Hunter!"
The wolf-shaped energy wave plows towards the dragon and struck it hard across it's unshielded chest. Aldamon forms a large fiery sphere in front of him and launches it at the same direct spot.
"Solar Wind Destroyer!"
The massive sphere struck the dragon and knocks it back with great force. Their combined attack was nearly equal to that of War Growlmon's Atomic Blaster. Takato and War Growlmon looked on with utter surprise at the events.
"They did it, Takato!"
"Not just yet. All they did was weaken it, right?"
"I suppose."
"They did," Taomon replied while levitating down near Rika. "Now it's only a matter of time before Tai can launch out his own attack."
"He better make up his mind then," said Rika. "Because our good old friend is thirsty for more."
"You've got to be kidding?!" Takato cries out.
Everyone turned towards the rising Mystical Dragon. The monster rose from the smoke cloud and was lumbering with slight injuries. There were now cuts and bruises as a result from the previous assaults.
"Damn it!" Aldamon cursed. "What's it going to take?"
"Well, we can count out the possibility of evolving into Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon. We need the other spirits in order to pull it off," Beowulfmon replied.
"Hold it right there!" Tai calls out and catches everyone off guard.
"Tai? What do you have in mind?" Davis asked.
"You need us to go out there and help?"
"No. Kari. It's our turn," the goggle boy replied. "We're going to give this a shot."
"Why?"
"Don't tell me you forget. This thing wants us. After all, we're suppose ably the warriors destined to defeat this monster. Well, I say we live up to the legend's prophecy."
"You're right! It's time we show everyone what we're truly capable of. Davis. I want you to keep an eye on Max and Keke."
"But I want to go!" Max cries out. "That monster also had its sights set on me!"
"It's too dangerous. It would be best for you to stay with Keke," said Gatomon. "Do that for us, please…"
"All right, then. But if you guys get into trouble, I'm coming in to help!"
"Deal," Tai said with a nod. "Ok, Kari! Let's move out!"
"Gatomon! Digivolve!"
[Play Digimon Adventure theme "Evolution"]
"Gatomon Shinka!"
Gatomon's body started to grow into a large, female figure with a pair of angel wings on each side of her body. She is then covered with scantily clad clothing and a helmet forms over her face. A wave of golden, blonde hair came flowing down her back as the wind blew across it.
"Angewomon!"
"All right, War Greymon! Let's move out!" Tai said as he hops onto his mega partner.
"We'll follow them out, Angewomon!" replied Kari.
As soon as they were ready, Angewomon and War Greymon flew off to battle out with and perhaps put the final blow to the Mystical Dragon. The beast lifts its head as it saw War Greymon forming a large orange sphere over it's head.
"War Greymon! Don't try to kill her," Kari pleaded. "We only want to put it out unconscious. We need to know the truth behind this thing."
"I was planning that from the start. I have this under control," the mega digimon replied while gathering more energy into his attack.
"I hate to raid on you're parade, but it's preparing for an attack!" Angewomon calls out.
"Damn! Where is this thing getting all of it's stamina?!" Tai exclaimed. "Ok, War Greymon! Let her have it!"
"Angewomon!"
With that said, Angewomon and War Greymon readied their attacks. Suddenly, they turned to find Xveemon already evolved and flying towards the Mystical Dragon.
"Xveemon?! Davis, just what are you thinking?!" Kari calls out.
"There's no way I'm going to be left out of the action! Let her have it, Xveemon!"
"V-Laser!"
The blue-skinned dragon unleashes a massive blast that struck the Mystical Dragon's middle head. As a result of this, it allows the other two to launch their attacks. Tai saw this as their only opportunity to deliver the finishing blow.
"Davis just left us an opening to attack! Thanks, Xveemon!"
"Angewomon! Now!"
Angewomon summons forth a bow and arrow created from an unknown source of energy. She then grabs the bow and pulls back with the arrow. War Greymon prepares to launch out his Terra Force attack.
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Terra Force!"
The two attacks struck down the Mystical Dragon with massive force and sent it flying backwards. Tai saw another opening to attack and calls out to everyone within the battlefield.
"Everyone! Launch you're attacks at once! Now before we lose this opportunity!"
"You got it!" Takato calls out. "Do it, War Growlmon!"
The Legendary warriors were more than willing to use their patented techniques to put a stop to the Mystical Dragon's rampage. First to start off the fray were the Legendary Warriors. Aldamon and Beowulfmon were the first to attack.
"Solar Wind Destroyer!"
"Frozen Hunter!"
"Frozen Arrowheads!"
"Hurricane Hail!"
"Bolo Thunder!"
"Ebony Blast!"
The multiple blasts combined into one massive sphere of energy and collided with the dragon. The monster unleashes a blood-curling scream after being struck. Next up were War Growlmon and Taomon.
"Atomic Blaster!"
"Talisman Overwrite!"
Again, the Mystical Dragon was nailed by War Growlmon's patented attack and was nearly decimated by its sheer force. Taomon's attack also did not do any wonders for the beast.
Neemon and Bokomon could only look on with satisfaction. Neemon was holding up Japanese fans over his head and danced in celebration.
Xveemon was next as he fires away his V-Laser. Davis celebrated along with Keke and Max. Max looks up towards the heavens and felt War Greymon's ki increasing.
"Go for it, guys! Let's hope you can pull it off this time!"
"Now it's our turn," Tai said. "War Greymon. We're going to give this a try. Its time for some of our own fusion evolution!"
With that said, Tai's body started to emit a bright, orange aura. War Greymon soon followed suite. Kari looks on as her brother was now going to perform the fusion with his digimon partner.
"Could they actually pull this off?! Could the fusion possibly work now?" Kari thought.
The two were now merged into one form and a shroud of energy was completely masking his form. As soon as the light died down, a new figure stood in their place. The warrior had a helmet over his head that looked similar to War Greymon's. The symbol of courage was embedded on his forehead and his eyes were completely green like War Greymon's were. His clawed limbs had given away to forearms and fists. This brave shield was now a smaller set of armor that covered nearly his entire body. His face was still completely human despite the changes. However, due to his child size, he wasn't as tall as he used to be.
"Wow! He did it! He actually did it!" Max cries out. "Way to go, dad!"
Omega X turns to face the Mystical Dragon and gazes down upon on it with his eyes flaring up. The dragon stood on its hind legs and felt the increasing ki emitting from the warrior. Omega X cups his hands together and forms a ball of orange ki.
"TER-RA.…"
The Legendary Warriors were completely stunned beyond belief. Even Aldamon and Beowulfmon were surprised out of their wits. Bokomon was just as fascinated as ever and began researching anything related to Omega X.
"Anything from the book, Bokomon?" Neemon asked.
"Nothing. This is completely new to me! What a glorious sight! This warrior just might be even stronger than any of the legendary warriors!"
"Wow, he looks so shiny…" Neemon muttered hypnotically.
"Can you feel that, Aldamon?" Beowulfmon asked. "His power just skyrocketed."
"No kidding! He's probably above even Lucemon in power!" Aldamon said.
"You guys look as though as you are surprised," Takato said as he came walking up to them. "This is the destined warrior. Sure, Kari might have been a primary candidate, but you should never underestimate the power of a fusion warrior. They're very unpredictable."
"But Shamamon said…" JagerLowemon said but soon stopped in mid-sentence.
"Who cares what he said?" Rika replied. "All that matters is that the dragon is going down."
Omega X stared down towards the Mystical Dragon with his beam increasing in mass. The beast never diverted its sight on the warrior as if it were gaining some sort of keen interest towards it. Suddenly, Omega X powers down and cancels out any chance of attacking. Kari was the first to notice this and questioned her brother's motives.
"Tai! Why did you just cancel you're attack? What's the deal?!"
"You guys didn't want to kill the dragon, right? Well, the dragon had managed to reach out to me telepathically."
"Huh? You mean it's also psychic?" Aldamon asked.
"You could say something like that," Omega X replied. Okay, guys. Hand me those digicores."
"You want us to hand you the digicores?" Zephrymon asked. "But you don't realize how much crap we had to go through to get them."
"Trust me on this one. It's the only way to help this dragon."
"Is that a wise decision, brother?"
"Yeah, Kari. I say it is. Now bring me those digicores."
With that said, Takato walks over to the digicores and picks one up. Max snatches up two and Aldamon picks up one. The trio walked over to Omega X and lined up the four black digicores in front of him.
"This is as you requested, right?" Omega X asked the wounded beast.
The dragon replies with an assuring nod and lifted its middle head to gaze down upon the four digicores. Everyone stood back as the dragon rested its head on top of the digicores. Within a matter of moments, a bright aura coursed through the dragon's entire body. The group was stunned as they watched the dragon's size shrinking down to human size.
"Tai. The dragon is changing," Takato said. "You mean to tell me…"
"Yeah. The dragon needed the digicores to not just sustain it, but to help it eventually find a way to revert it back to its normal form."
"So it wasn't a dragon all along?" Davis pondered. "Man, this is too confusing even for me."
"Davis, you're always confused. Even about the simplest things," Xveemon said.
As soon as the dragon's transformation was complete, the beast was no longer standing in its place. Now the beast had taken the form of a woman garbed in a white gown with green shoulder padding on both of her shoulders. Her chest is lined up with an array of beautiful golden gems with pieces of cloth hanging from each gem. Her face is gorgeous and nearly as pale as the clouds. Her eyes were green as the lush forests of the Digital World and her turquoise hair flowed back down to her knees. The group was stunned at the new form the Mystical Dragon had taken.
"Whoa! Whoa! That's the Mystical Dragon?!" Aldamon exclaimed.
"Man, here I thought the Digital World would be full of surprises," Metal Kabuterimon replied.
"She's gorgeous," Zephrymon said.
"You can say that again," Kari complimented. "So, you're the Mystical Dragon?"
The mysterious woman nods in reply and sits up from the ground. She faced each and every one of the warriors. A pleasant smile forms on her pale face.
"So, tell us. Are you the true form of the Mystical Dragon?" Omega X demanded. "We need to know why you were obsessed in these Black Digicores."
"Yes, thanks to you I've been freed from my prison," the woman said. "I'm sorry I've caused you trouble."
"Wait, we freed you from you're prison?" Davis asked. "Could you elaborate?"
"Yes, I most certainly will. Allow me to introduce myself, warriors. I am Lady Moinanea, a deity to this Digital World."
"You watched over the Digital World? But what happened to you? I thought the three Celestials were the watchers," said Beowulfmon.
"Yes, you are partially correct, but you see it was Lucemon who sealed me here."
"Lucemon? Man that guy really messed this world up," replied Aldamon.
"For you see, Lucemon feared my power and sent hordes of minions to steal my Digital Cores. With the Digital Cores in their possession, they used a portion of their energy to trap me inside the body of a dragon and sealed me the very same cave where you've awoken me."
"But how did mere minions seal you up? I thought you would have taken them apart with you're powers?" Omega X said.
"Unfortunately, I am linked to these Digital Cores. If they are used against my will, then I am powerless to stop them. For you see I am the sole creator of these items."
"Whoa, you're the creator?!" Takato said. "Now, it's starting to make sense."
"However, I prophesied that a group of legendary heroes would vanquish Lucemon. I am grateful for you, Digi-Destined," Moinanea turned to face Aldamon and the other Legendary warriors. "You were the ones who defeated Lucemon and thus restored peace to the Digital World."
"Well, now that you're back, shouldn't you like reclaim you're spot as the watcher?" Rika replied.
"I could, but I trust in the Celestial's capabilities. I will be around whenever they need me."
"Look, Lady Moinanea, we really need these digicores for my brother," said Kari. "You see… He had quite an accident and…"
"You are already telling me everything I know. Yes, I'm aware of Azulongmon and his Digital Cores being momentarily deactivated. You must know the consequences behind the use of the Digital Cores."
"If we don't return them to the place where we used up it's power, then that planet will be destroyed. Sounds kind of harsh, don't you think?" Omega X asked. "I just want to restore my age."
"Yes, this is quite a difficult situation," the demigoddess replied. "Children. I will need some time to think this over. I understand you worked hard to bring these four Digital Cores together, but I'm sure you understand. As creator of these rare artifacts, their fate will be determined by my decision alone."
"We understand, Moinanea," Omega X replied. "Decide what's best for us."
Bokomon and Neemon came out of hiding as they walked up to the majestic form of Moinanea. Bokomon poked at her gown and searched through his book to search for information on the demigoddess.
"Did you find anything Bokomon?" Neemon asked.
"Ugh. Just as I expected, there is no written information on Lady Moinanea. I've heard legends of this dragon goddess, but I never knew I'd be looking up at her this very moment."
"Hey, are you really Lady Moinanea?" Neemon asked.
The woman looked down at the digimon with an assuring nod.
"Prove it!"
"Of course. I know my looks can be quite deceiving."
With that said, Lady Moinanea placed her hand on the ground and concentrated with a flow of pure energy. In a matter of moments, the dry landscape was quickly covered in an array of lush green grass and flowers started to spread. Neemon and Bokomon looked on with utter shock.
"Yep, she's Lady Moinanea," Bokomon said. "Legends tell that she is able to turn everything she touches into a lush array of green. We're sorry for doubting you're presence, my lady."
"It's not a problem. I know the digimon of this world have not even heard of me. However, I'm sure the Celestials are aware of my former status as the deity of this Digital World."
"So you're a Sovereign? Just like Zhuqiaomon is sovereign of the southern quadrant of the Digital Universe?" Takato asked.
"Yes. I was the Sovereign until Lucemon and his forces sealed me away. Today, I wish to reclaim my Sovereign status. I have you children to thank. I'm grateful to you. However, there's on warrior I have faith in. That's you," the demigoddess turns to face Omega X. "You're power is stronger than anyone I've ever casted my eyes upon. Tell me, are you the one who defeated the tyrant Burizalor?"
"Yes. I was the one who beat that creep. How did you know that? After all, you were sealed inside that dragon's body during that time."
"Despite being trapped in a monster's body, I still can foresee everything that takes place throughout the Digital Universe."
"I see. Then, I'm more than happy to have freed you from you're prison, Lady Moinanea."
Suddenly, Moinanea felt a disturbing presence and looks up towards the heavens with widened eyes. The digimon took notice of this and gathered around her.
"Lady Moinanea, what's wrong?" Kari asked.
"It's as I feared," the demigoddess replied. "There's a dark presence making its presence felt."
"Who is it, Lady Moinanea?" Aldamon asked.
"The M-50 Mutant empire," she replied. "They've been a threat to this sector of the Digital Universe for eons. They're possibly an even greater threat than Lucemon himself."
"A new enemy, huh? Well, guys, you know what this means," JagerLowemon said.
"It's time to save the Digital World again and prove our worth to lady Moinanea," stated Aldamon.
"Not if you have us at you're side," Max replied. "Right, dad?"
Omega X nodded in reply, but turned to face the heavens. He felt the enemy's presence and clenched his fists tightly.

The M-5 Mutant Empire Descends on the Digital World! Arise, WyVeemon!
Outside of the Digital World's atmosphere
A large massive spaceship that looked like a small metallic planet was approaching the Digital World. Its ominous presence was enough to bring chills down the spines of many warriors.
Inside the ship was a pair looking out from within the ship. They looked quite similar to the Royal Knights, now deceased enemies of the legendary warriors. However, their appearance was cybernetic in nature.
*********************************************************************
Flame Terminal
It has been hours since the intense battle pitting the digimon team against the Mystical Dragon. As a result, Omega X was summoned after War Greymon and Tai regained their ability to merge with one another. Because of this the Mystical Dragon was astoundingly beaten by the warrior's sheer power and thus released a deity named Lady Moinanea.
It's been explained that Lady Moinanea is the true heir as watcher of the Digital World of the western sector. She was merely encased inside a dragon's body from preventing her to intervene against Lucemon's path of terror.
Now that she has been released from her slumber, she can repay the favor by helping Tai and his group in activating the four Black Digital Cores. But first…
The digimon team was getting themselves something to eat before heading back to the Forest Terminal. Bokomon and Neemon had helped the villagers cook up a fabulous meal. Tai and Agumon's mouths frothed at the sight of the delicious gourmets. There were plates of curry rice, enchiladas, pasta, and even burgers.
"Wow! This is a dream come true," Guilmon said. "What do you think, Takato?"
"This is more than just heaven…"
"Eat up, guys. We're going to be heading back to the Forest Terminal," Tai said. "Isn't that right, Lady Moinanea?"
"Yes. I really need to see Seraphimon and inform him on the upcoming threat that will invade this planet."
"Wait, a second. Should we be able to handle this threat?" Takuya asked.
"No. I'm afraid not even you're fusion evolution forms are enough to defeat this force, Legendary Warriors."
"That bites," JP remarked.
"However, I do have confidence that this boy and his digimon can," the demigoddess points out to Tai. "You see I felt his power increase dramatically by their mergence. In fact, it's the strongest power I've felt since Lucemon's great reign."
"Yep! That's my bad! He's a true legend!" Max exclaimed.
"Yeah. You can say that again. Heh. Heh."
"I have a question, Lady Moinanea. When are those new enemies supposed to land?" Kari asked. "We had better hurry over to Seraphimon if we hope to activate the Digicores."
"We'll get there as soon as you children finish eating. The enemy is not expected to send out bands until another hour or so."
"Another hour? That's not too bad. We can just use the Trailmon as transportation," said Zoe.
"Shouldn't digivolving work better?" Keke asked.
"No, she has a point," Takato said. "If I'm right, then these enemies will be able to sense out our digimon's ki if they digivolve."
"Yes, that's a good observation," replied Lady Moinanea. "A Trailmon would be the wise decision."
"Hold up. I don't know about you but I'd like to face this new enemy. I want to see how tough they're going to be," Davis said.
"Davis. We don't have time to play macho," muttered Rika. "If you want to get you're head kicked into orbit, then be my guest…"
"That only makes it better for both of us," said Renamon.
"As much as I'd like to Davis, but we really need to activate those Digicores. That way I can regain my age," Tai said. "Then, we'll think about tag teaming these punks."
"Count me in as well," said Takato.
"Hey! You guys can't forget about me!" Max cheered.
The demigoddess glares over to Davis and Veemon. She quickly picks up a ki signal from the blue dragon and senses a very strong desire burning within Davis.
"This young man is not bluffing. He truly has a noble heart. He might be capable of fending off the new enemy. However, I will need to give him an item if he plans to do battle. Yes, he will truly make a remarkable warrior."
"Um, Lady Moinanea," Bokomon said.
"Um, yes?"
"Would you care for some calm chowder?"
The deity looks down at the plate of seafood being presented to her by Bokomon. Her face tightly turns pale, but she politely nods and takes a calm.
"Thank you. You are so kind."
"We made them ourselves," Neemon said. "We can heat up some hot and yummy plates."
"Neemon. The only thing you did to help was collecting the calms. We had to do all the hard work. You can't even cook right. Remind me never to have you're enchiladas again. I think I had food poisoning that day…"
Lady Moinanea simply giggles and takes a bite from their recipe. After consuming the somewhat edible piece, her face glistened with satisfaction.
"Great! That was so delicious!"
"Thank you. I knew you would like it."
"Look, I think Bokomon is trying to impress Lady Moinanea," Tommy said.
"Ugh, boys," Zoe said. "I think Bokomon is trying a little too hard."
"I have to admit though. His cooking is pretty edible," said Kouji. "How's the ramen soup, Kouichi?"
"A little on the spicy food, but it's good."
Tai noticed Agumon looking out from outside the front door and walks over towards his partner. The orange reptile had his attention towards the heavens and did not keep his eyes off it. It seems something was bothering Agumon and Tai was beginning to become concerned. He also notices Gatomon and Renamon looking out with him.
"Hey, guys. What's up? Did you get you're fill?"
"We got our fill," Gatomon said. "I only came out here because Renamon and Agumon are feeling out a strong presence."
"It has to be the new enemy, right?" Tai asked.
"You hit the nail right on the head, Tai," the reptile digimon stated. "The enemy is drawing closer as we speak. We can't stay here long."
"Agreed. If you wish to have you're age restored with the Digicores, then we must act fast," replied Renamon.
"You guys certainly are one step ahead of me. Ok, once we wrap up everything here, we'll head out. I think they're almost finished anyway."
"Yes, the sooner the better," Agumon replied.
"Tai! We're almost done here!" Davis called out and noticed the digimon.
They were gathered into one huddled group.
"Why are they out staring at the sky? Is something wrong?"
"It's trouble, Davis," Tai said. "We have to move out quickly. There's a one hundred percent chance that the enemy are heading this way."
"I see. Ok, Veemon. Let's wrap this party up."
"Right!"
"If it's the enemy, then we're going to have to bring out the big guns," Tai thought. "Omega X might just be more than enough.
Just then, Tai turns to see an approaching Mole Trailmon heading down towards the train station. He then faces the digimon and gives them a thumbs up approval.
"Just our lucky break. Let's go round the others up and get going. Remember to hide you're ki levels."
The digimon nodded in agreement to Tai's recommendation. The others gathered outside as JP finished his last bowl of rice. Zoe snatches the plate away and tosses it aside.
"We don't have time for leftovers. C'mon, we have to go."
"I can't help it."
"Ok, guys. This is it. We're heading back to the Forest Terminal," said Tai. "Takato. Did Guilmon get enough to eat?"
"Sure did."
"Good. In case we run into the enemy, we just might need him. Lady Moinanea, how long do we have until the enemy's destination on this planet?"
"I would say another forty-five minutes."
"There's no time to lose then. Let's move out guys!"
"Right!"
The groups quickly gathered at the local train stop and hurried over to aboard the Trailmon Mole. The next destination was definitely towards the Forest Terminal. What a lucky break for our heroes! Will they make it there in time before the enemy arrives? Time was of essence for Tai's team.
Bokomon and Neemon waved out towards their comrades as they boarded the Trailmon. Bokomon looked like as if he were about to cry while Neemon held out a handkerchief.
"Goodbye, children!" Bokomon cries out. "It was good to see you again! Don't hesitate to come back! We'll be rooting for you! Beat those baddies to the punch!"
"Goodbye!" Neemon said.
"I hope you come back for my cooking, Lady Moinanea! I even whip up a rich cuisine!"
"Thank you. That's very kind of you!" the demigoddess calls out.
"Um, you do realize that he has a crush on you, Lady Moinanea," Zoe said.
"Yes, well… He's just a very good cook. I can't help it."
"She might be a powerful demigoddess, but she's so easily deceived," Zoe thought.
"We'll be sure to come back, Bokomon!" Takuya exclaimed. "You and Neemon stay out of trouble!"
"We will!" Neemon said.
"Yeah, that will happen when hell freezes over," Bokomon muttered.
Without further delay, the Trailmon started trailing off onto its next destination: the Forest Terminal. Bokomon and Neemon waved out along with the entire Flame village.
"I'll be sure to add Lady Moinanea and that Omega X fellow into my second book," Bokomon said. "You can do it! Save the Digital World!"
*********************************************************************
Outside of the Digital World's Atmosphere
The massive space ship was now orbiting over the Digital World's atmosphere. It slowly starts to descend through the clouds and leaves quite an ominous presence over the entire skylines.
Inside the ship was an array of cybernetic soldiers who were supplying numerous weapon artilleries. Another group looked like a group of imps only in metallic forms. It was obvious these cybernetic beings were preparing to launch an attack on the Digital World. However, they were going to have to deal with the protectors of this very planet in order to conquer it.
Suddenly, the soldiers all gathered into rows and lined up in formation. There were now two figures walking out from a cockpit as each soldier saluted the two massive figures. One turned out to be a winged, dragon-like warrior with a pair of bull's horns on his head. His body was entirely metallic white with an array of implants and a pair of absorbers implanted on his hands. The other was also entirely covered by metallic armor covering. Unlike the other, the metallic armor was purely pink with a row of yellow rings on its backside.
"All hail, General Dynasmon! All hail, Colonel Crusadermon!" the robotic armies bellowed in unison.
"Yes. Yes. We appreciate the praising," Dynasmon said. "As you all know, we are nearing our destination. As a matter of fact, we're already approaching its atmosphere."
"Alas, what a splendid occasion. Our counterparts failed to defeat the so-called Legendary Warriors. However, with our technology, we were able to watch every one of their battles. I take it you have recorded every single detail of their battles?" asked Crusadermon.
"Yes! We have recorded and inputted the information necessary!"
"That's good to know, but I'm still not convinced that you're strong enough to defeat our adversaries. After all, we are to destroy the opposition and claim hierarchy over this retched planet. We will succeed where that fool Lucemon has failed."
"Our spy robots have managed to get a view of the opposition we face," Crusadermon said. "According to a report, there are also another group of humans with digimon. There's another report coming in that one human was able to merge with his digimon to transform into an ultimate fighting machine."
"Ultimate fighting machine, you say? I'd really like to meet this human. I think I would appreciate the challenge. What an opportunity to truly show off my full strength."
"Yes and there's a report coming in that the legendary goddess Lady Moinanea was seen with them."
"Lady Moinanea? I'm not too concerned with her. So, those children freed that wench from her slumber. Heh, it looks like Lucemon wasn't smart enough to seal her completely."
"No, he was completely overconfident and did not realize that someone would eventually break her free. However, I agree. She is no threat to our M-5 Mutant Empire."
"First, let's make them our test subjects. I shall dispatch the Metal Cultivarmon to give these fools a little dose of what they will be up against."
"Shouldn't we go out to introduce ourselves?"
"It's best we know what we're up against. Besides, I really am anxious to know if this so-called warrior is worthy enough to stand up against elite machine warriors such as ourselves. We are the ultimate race in this section of the digital galaxy. We shall spread and transform this planet into a robotic empire."
"All right, but if they fail, we shall make our move."
"Fair enough. Dispatch the Metal Cultivarmon!" Dynasmon commands a group of Mekanorimon.
"Yes, General Dynasmon!"
"Besides, we can't have the good ol' doctor waiting. He awaits bio extracts from this planet. We shall get more than enough from these earthlings."
With that said, a large quantity of space pods were quickly launched out from the ship and directed towards the Digital World. They were now pre-destined to follow the specific Trailmon where the spy robots have been tracing.
*********************************************************************
Digital World.
While the Trailmon Mole was peddling out towards Forest Terminal in hopes of making it there on schedule, Tai and his group were all gathered playing a game of poker. However, Agumon and Tai were simply not up to playing. Kari took notice of this and couldn't help but wonder what worried the two so much.
"Tai, are you ok? You always are ecstatic when it comes to poker," she said. "C'mon, just one game?"
"Sorry, Kari. I just haven't been interested in games. If this enemy is as strong as Lady Moinanea says they are, then we have to be on full alert."
"But that does not mean you can't have any fun on this trip," the demigoddess said. "Take it easy. We'll get there on time."
"Yeah. You're right. Damn, I better quit acting like this. Now, who's up for a little round of poker with yours truly?!"
"Man, Zoe has already beaten us three straight," JP muttered.
"Losing to a girl isn't that bad," Takuya said. "Just as long as it's Zoe. Right?"
"You know it!"
"How about some Go Fish?!" Guilmon calls out.
"Maybe a little later, Guilmon," replied Takato. "We're playing poker now."
"How about some strip poker?" Davis suggested.
"NO THANK YOU!" the females exclaimed in unison.
"Uh, at least it will be something worth betting since we didn't bring money."
"Nice try, Davish," Veemon said with his usual lisp.
Just then, Lady Moinanea turned and felt a strange vibe coming from outside the Trailmon. Soon, the digimon stopped their activity and turned to face the same direction as the demigoddess. The humans were wondering what was bothering their digimon partners.
"Gatomon?"
"What's wrong with them?" Tommy asked.
"We have company," Gatomon replied.
"Where? You mean outside the Trailmon?" Takuya said.
"Yeah. It seems we were too late," Renamon stated. "The enemies have caught on to us."
"Renamon, go and check outside."
Renamon nods in comply and quickly phases outside. The fox digimon found herself on top of the Trailmon and looked above to find numerous space pods landing around the desolate landscapes.
Soon, the digimon watched as each space pod landed. Tai and Davis were just about ready to send their partners into battle. Renamon phases back inside the train and faces Rika.
"Rika. We're going to have our hands full."
"With who?"
"We know who. There's a large group of pods landing around us," Tai said.
"Which means Trailmon has to stop. We have to stay and fight," Takuya replied. "I don't know about you, but I'm not about to run away."
"Hey, guys! Aren't you forgetting about the Digicores?" Zoe managed to bring up.
"That's right and we have Lady Moinanea to protect," Max replied.
"Listen up, everyone. We want you all to take the Trailmon over to Forest Terminal. Takato. Takuya. Davis. Kari. I'll definitely need you to come with me," Tai said.
"Aw, but what about me, dad?!" Max cries out.
"Sorry, kiddo. You have to look after Keke. Can you do that for me? Besides, Matt will kill me if anything happens to her."
"Ok, but you come back alive. Got it, dad?"
"You should know me by now, Max. Just make sure to protect Keke and the Digicores. Don't worry. You'll have Lady Moinanea, Rika and the other Legendary Warriors to protect you."
"Right. Don't you worry about me, dad. You worry about those freaks in those space pods. Good luck!"
"Like I'll need it. Ok, Agumon! Let's suit up!"
"Right!"
"Hey, Takato! Watch yourself! If you don't come back alive, I'm dragging your carcass back!" Rika calls out.
"Uh, yeah. Man, she has her way with words. Ready, Guilmon?"
"You bet!"
"Let's kick some alien butt, Veemon!"
"Time to make our grand exit!" the blue digimon said as he kicked down the back door.
"Hurry up and digivolve, everyone!" Tai calls out.
"Wait!" Lady Moinanea calls out directly towards the departing group. "Wait! Motomiya! There's something I should give you!"
"Huh? What do you need to give me?" Davis pondered.
As soon as Davis was about to speak once again, Lady Moinanea holds out her hand and an object materializes in her palm. Davis looks down at it and gasps as the object takes the form of a crest. Davis picks it up and the symbol looks similar to a medieval knight's shield. Davis holds it tightly in his grasp.
"Why do I need this?"
"Trust me. You're partner could use it and I sense a noble heart within you, Daisuke."
"Davis. This is a privilege," Veemon replied. "You have nobility."
"The Crest of Nobility is yours Davis. I was hoping for a noble warrior to appear and you are that one noble-hearted individual."
"Why not give it to Tai? He has a heart of nobility."
"No! My crest was courage! If anything, you are noble to the team," Tai calls out. "Hurry up, Davis, or we're going to leave without you!"
"Whoa! Hold on, guys!"
Davis and Veemon gives chase to the departing team. Lady Moinanea looks on with a satisfying grin.
"You can do it, guys!" Max calls out.
"Make sure to knock those creeps senseless!" exclaimed Keke. "We'll be waiting at Forest Terminal!"
"Good luck, you guys," Zoe said.
"Don't worry. What we need to worry about is getting to the Forest Terminal and keep these Digicores in hiding. They can take care of themselves."
"How long before we make it to the Forest Terminal?" Rika asked. "Shouldn't be too far, right?"
"I say another twenty minutes."
"They ought to be finished by now," Rika said.
"What makes you think so?" Kouji asked. "You saw all of those space pods. There was a crap load of them!"
"You're underestimating my friends. They actually have the might to smack around those alien losers," Rika replied. "They'll be fine. Just sick with Lady Moinanea's plan and we'll be fine."
"I'm sure we will," Kouichi stated. "Don't worry, brother."
"At least I hope I'm right," the digimon queen said in thought.
*********************************************************************
M-5 Mutant Empire Spaceship
Dynasmon and Crusadermon were monitoring the progress of their plan. Their spy robots were able to capture perfect camera shots of shots of the space pods releasing numerous of their Metal Cultivarmon armies. The cybernetic duo caught another camera view of the opposing digimon team heading out to scope the situation.
Through one camera shot was Tai riding on War Greymon's back. One another displayed Davis on Xveemon's back. Agunimon was seen running across the landscape. Another camera shot placed a perfect view of Kari on Nefertimon's back and another camera view of Takato on top of Growlmon's back. Dynasmon chuckled and placed his focus on Tai's War Greymon.
"Have you managed to get a good glimpse on our opposition, Dynasmon?"
"Yes. Interesting, they all seem to be quite an opposing force. I just wonder how they'll fare against our Metal Cultivarmon army. If they can get passed them, then they might be worthy to face us eventually."
"I humbly agree. I assume that boy with the War Greymon was the one who merged into that single warrior entity?"
"Yes, from what we've gathered through footage from spy robots. I had better keep an eye on him. We'll see if he happens to be a worthy adversary."
"Oh, this ought to be entertaining. The good ol' doctor will be pleased to know that we've found the perfect specimens for the completion of his secret experiment."
"Indeed. Look, they're about to arrive! The show is about to start, Crusadermon!"
*********************************************************************
Digital World. Unknown desolate section away from the Forest Terminal
Tai and Greymon lead their team across the desolate landscape as they eventually came across the field filled with fallen space pods. The digimon stopped at their trails. They were picking up an array of energy levels coming out from every direction.
"What is, War Greymon?"
"We're being surrounded from all directions. Though, these ki signals feel very strange."
"Yeah, they are pretty faint," Xveemon said. "Come on out and fight us!"
"They're toying with us," Growlmon snarled.
Just then, Nefertimon and Kari quickly spotted an imp covered with a metallic body. It looked exactly like the Cultivarmon that were summoned by Etemon years ago in the battle for the Digital World. Besides having a metallic appearance, its appearance was very much similar to the regular, biological version. It sported crimson eyes, a massive head, clawed feet and limbs, and a pair of elf-like ears. The armored level feline fired out a blast towards the creature to catch it by surprise.
"There's the culprit!" Kari calls out.
"Yeah! I see him!" Agunimon said as his fists become embroiled into flames. "Pyro Tornado!"
The other digimon turned to face the single imp and watched as it easily dodged from the fiery tornado. However, it did not stop there. The metal-based monster's head split wide open as if it were a Venus flytrap. Then, a missile was launched from the inside of its head and fired directly at the fiery tornado. The impact resulted in a blast that managed to knock everyone off their feet. The smoke cleared away and it revealed not one imp. There were now nine standing in one large group setting.
"Whoa! Did I just see more of them?!" Davis asked frantically.
"You sure did and that's not all," Takato pointed out. "We're definitely surrounded."
With that said, the group found themselves caught in a massive circle full of the robotic imps. Kari looked to each one of them. She was quickly regaining old memories of the Cultivarmon.
"You guys! These are Cultivarmon!" Kari said.
[Digimon Analyzer: Metal Cultivarmon. Ultimate-Level. Special Techniques: Missile Brain Launch & Kamikaze Death]
"Cultivarmon? What exactly are they?" Agunimon asked. "You seem to be pretty familiar with this midgets."
"They were henchmen used by Etemon and Yamato when they arrived to finish me, TK and Leomon off. Centaurumon, Piximon and Andromon all died that day. I will never forget that horrible experience," Kari choked with slight tears.
"Ok, guys. You know what we have to do," Tai said. "War Greymon. What's the reading on these guys?"
"They're not very strong, but we have to be cautious. I'm also picking up stronger ki signals from the skylines."
"There's going to be more along the way?" Takato asked. "Man, this is jsut our luck. Ok, Growlmon. We can take these little suckers."
"Spread out everyone!" Tai calls out.
As soon as he said that, everyone of the digimon spread out to attack. Nefertimon quickly rushes over and claws her away through a row of Metal Cultivarmon. However, each Metal Cultivarmon dodged each of her clawed attacks. A pair of the imps appeared on one side and fired away missiles from their heads. Nefertimon was able to dodge each missile with agility. Suddenly, one Metal Cultivarmon appears from above and drops an elbow to her backside. The force sends the armored feline plummeting down.
"Great! These ultimate level just like their counterparts!" Kari calls out. "Nefertimon isn't going to be enough!"
Agunimon found himself surrounded by a circle of chattering Cultivarmon. Each one flew at Agunimon and attacked with vicious claw strikes. Agunimon struggled to put up a good defense. Each punch rocked Agunimon back, despite his defensive posture.
"These little bastards are ultimate?! I might need Aldamon for this!"
Two of the chattering imps snuck up from behind Agunimon and delivered a double missile dropkick. Agunimon screams as he goes sliding back on the ground. The Metal Cultivarmon pair rushed towards the fallen warrior of fire and launched missiles. Agunimon was able to leap up and avoid the blasts beforehand.
"Damn! These little guys are tough! I wonder how the others are holding them off!"
Xveemon and Growlmon each picked up a Cultivarmon. One by one, each imp were given a body slam. Xveemon worked away by tossing each monster and allowed Growlmon to slam them to the ground. Davis is seen from the background with his fists raised. Takato merely applauded his partner's efforts.
"Slam 'em down hard, Xveemon! That's the way you've gotta play!"
"Um, yeah… Slam 'em down, okay," Takato muttered to himself. "Good job, Growlmon!"
War Greymon was faring much better than expected. In fact, he was slaughtering each Metal Cultivarmon without breaking a sweat. The mega quickly forms a massive sphere of orange ki and launches it down towards a horde.
"Terra Force!"
Tai cheers on as the sphere engulfed the Metal Cultivarmon and reduced them into data. He turned and noticed that Kari's digimon was struggling.
"Kari! Duh! Why not have Nefterimon digivolve into Angewomon! Let's give Celesta X a good ol' revival!"
"Ok! You heard him, Nefertimon! Let's do this!"
"You didn't have to tell me that twice," Nefertimon said while de-digivolving back into Gatomon.
"Time to digi-"
Suddenly, just as Kari was about to reach for her D-3, a missile came launching out of nowhere and lands where the young woman stood. The force of the blast knocked Kari back and sent her skidding across the dirt. Everyone looked on with utter horror as the Metal Cultivarmon made their move on the injured female. Gatomon was screwed since her partner was not conscious. She can't digivolve without Kari fully activating the D-3. She depends on her partner's survival in order to digivolve.
"Kari!" Tai calls out. "Hold on! War Greymon, grab her!"
"No! Kari is in trouble!" Davis thought. "Xveemon! It's time! Go out there and save her! Hurry!"
"Right!"
By his partner's command, Xveemon flies out towards the fallen Kari. However, he fought his way through the horde of vicious Cultivarmon along the way.
"I'm not going to let those Mini-Mes kill her! I swear I will make sure she survives! TK! I won't let you down!"
Suddenly, Davis' noticed a bright yellow aura glowing from his closed fists. He opens it up and saw his new crest of nobility emitting a bright aura. It floats right in front of him.
"Davis? What just happened?" Takato asked. "You're crest…"
"Yeah and I know what this means. Xveemon! It's time we time you're evolution to the next level! Can you pull it off?!"
"You bet! I'm getting more power from you're crest! Now I can digivolve into another form!"
[Play Digimon 02 theme "Break Up" during Xveemon's evolution]
Davis' crest radiated a bright, golden aura around Xveemon's champion form and his body started to a process of metamorphosis into his newest ultimate level.
"Xveemon chou shinka!"
Xveemon's bipedal dragon form quickly evolved into a new, glider-like form. His body is entirely covered by blue scales, red feather wings, and a pair of green eyes emitting a bright aura. On his snout is a pair of blades, much like the one Xveemon possessed on his snout. The X mark on his chest was now a Y. He looked very much similar to Aeroveedramon with less white skin coloration.
"Wyveemon!"
[Digimon Analyzer: Wyveemon. Ultimate level. Wyvern digimon. Special Techniques: V-Wing, V-Wave, Aero Blast and Kilo Death]
Davis, Tai, Takato and Agunimon were in utter disbelief. The digimon couldn't believe their very own eyes. Veemon now had a second digivolved level. Gatomon was in complete awe.
"Wyveemon?!" Davis said. "Wow! I'd never thought I'd have my own pilot digimon! Lady Moinanea's crest really worked!"
"That's enough, Davis. We have to stop those creeps from hurting Kari," Wyveemon screeches. "You boys ready to rumble?!"
"That's my cue!" Davis calls out. "Tai! Why don't we have Wyveemon and War Greymon attack at once?"
"Sounds like a plan to me! I won't even waste energy using Omega X to beat these guys," the leader said in reply.
"You heard him! Let him have it!"
"Agunimon! Growlmon! You guys take care of the rest of them!"
"You got it, Tai!" the duo said in unison.
Wyveemon flies down towards the Cultivarmon horde and his wings started to emit a bright glow of pure light. In a matter of seconds, Wyveemon glides through the horde with slight ease. The Metal Cultivarmon all stood frozen before Wyveemon seized his attack. The wyvern digimon turns to find the each Cultivarmon sliced into pieces. One by one, their bodies broke down into mass bits of data.
"That's the way, Wyveemon! That should teach them to never hit a lady!"
War Greymon flies up into the air and cups his hands back. His hands were collecting a massive wave of energy. The mega then unleashes a massive wave that engulfed the remaining Cultivarmon hordes.
Growlmon easily disposed some others with his Pyro Blaster technique. Takato jumps up and does victory poses as Growlmon flexes towards the digimon crowd. Gatomon simply sighs in relief.
"Goofballs…"
Agunimon finishes the last remaining horde by unleashing a massive wave of flames through his patented Pyro Tornado.
"Did we get all of them?!" the warrior of flames called out.
They were wrong. One last Metal Cultivarmon was flying off into the distance. Wyveemon quickly rushes towards the fleeing enemy and appears in front of him. The single imp chattered in fear as Wyveemon opened it's mouth wide. The wyvern digimon fires away what was the Cultivarmon's last moment of its life.
"AERO BLAST!"
The imp was quickly engulfed in a massive blast that completely incinerated him down to the final core. However, the destructive blast also took its toll on Wyveemon. He could feel his energy dropping after that devastating attack.
"That took a lot out of him. I had better be cautious on using anything like that. Oh, man. I'm going to be starving after this."
Davis looks out to find Wyveemon flying down from the distance. Tai helped Kari up to her feet and splashed some water on her face. The female slowly regained consciousness and rubbed her eyes.
"Tai… Tai?! What happened?!"
"You're going to be fine. Whew, those Cultivarmon did a sneak attack, but we were able to save the day."
"Thanks. My mind went blank after that. So, what happened to the Cultivarmon?"
"Yo, Kari! You should have seen Veemon!" Takato calls out. Remember that crest Lady Moinanea gave to Davis?"
"Yeah, what about…"
"Veemon digivolved! Allow me to introduce you to, Wyveemon!" Davis announces proudly. "Um, say something, Wyveemon."
"I deserve something to eat after that last maneuver I pulled. Can we get some chow before we move out?"
"I'm afraid not," Agunimon said. "If those guys were the small fry, then the big guns are definitely going to be hunting us down. For all we know, they could have watched our fight just now. I say we move on to the Forest Terminal."
"Good idea. Besides, we'll be sure to meet with the others. I just hope they haven't run into any these little jerks," Tai said. "Ok, it's off to the Forest Terminal we go!"
Everyone nodded in agreement as the humans hopped onto their respective digimon. Kari and Gatomon boarded on War Greymon with Tai. Just as proud as ever, Davis hops onto Wyveemon and takes pride of his accomplishment.
"Yes! This is great! Who knows? Maybe Veemon and I will merge into a true Fusion warrior just like Omega X. I'm glad Kari is fine. I guess my nobility was what drew the power of the crest to enable Veemon to digivolve into Wyveemon."
The team raced across the desolant landscape in hopes of reaching the Forest Terminal in time. They were forced to hurry before the enemy beats them to that exact location.
*********************************************************************
Forest Terminal
The Trailmon Mole had just departed from its destination a few minutes ago. Rika, Renamon and Lady Moinanea stood guard while the remaining Legendary Warriors gathered the four Black Digicores. Max and Keke rested beside a tree. The trio stood their guard and prepared themselves for a possible attack from the M-50 forces.
"They're on the move. Good. I sense that Davis used the crest of nobility. That's good. However, those were merely weaklings he and the others had laid waste to. I sense that the higher powers will ascend on this planet. Are they willing to face this indestructible force?"
*********************************************************************
M-5 Mutant Empire Spaceship
Crusadermon and Dynasmon had witnessed the battle unfold. They weren't the least surprised that their Metal Cultivarmon had fallen in defeat. If anything, they were quite happy to realize that there was indeed strong opposition to challenge.
"Interesting, that young man possessed some sort of power source that enabled his digimon to digivolve? I really didn't think an ultimate was that powerful," Crusadermon said.
"That settles it. Now we know the kind of opposition we're against. They are indeed a force to reckon with, but they have not faced a duo such as us. It is time to make our move and capture these humans for the doctor's secret experiment."
"General Dynasmon. Colonel Crusadermon," an old man's voice spoke through an intercom. "Do you read me?"
"Yes, Dr. Myuumon," Dynasmon said. "We just experimented with our new opposition and they defeated the Metal Cultivarmon."
"I see. I leave this up to you and you're Mutant forces," the scientist replied.
"Dynasmon. If you will, I would like the pleasure to care of them myself. I will bring a horde of machine soldiers in case they overwhelm me."
"Are you sure? I could go and assist you."
"Leave them to me. I'll be sure to defeat them and bring those humans for Dr. Myuumon's experiment."
"Very well then. Do you hear that, Dr. Myuumon? Crusadermon has insisted to helping you complete you're experiment. She will bring those humans to you."
"Excellent, but make sure to bring them to me alive. There would be no use to collect tissue samples from corpses. Their life energy is essential."
"As you wish, I will not fail you," Crusadermon said.
"I want you to at least leave me with the War Greymon. I want to test out my full power against him. This is quite an opportunity."
So, it is Dynasmon and Crusadermon revealed as the General and Colonel of the M-5 Mutant Empire. Their task is to capture Tai and his group for a scientist's experiment. How will our heroes deal with these new enemies and will they make it to Forest Terminal in time? Hurry up, guys!

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
Crusadermon's Attack on Seraphimon's Castle! Capture the Humans!
Forest Terminal
A thick fog covered the landscape as a pair of auras came rushing through the thickness. Coming through with high velocity was War Greymon, Wyveemon, War Growlmon, Angewomon and Agunimon. The human Digi-Destined were passengers on their partner's backs. They were fortunate to see through the thick fog since the digimon were cutting through the fog.
"Is this the Forest Terminal, Takuya?!" Davis calls out.
"Yeah, this is it. Even I had trouble passing through this," Agunimon replied. "Look straight ahead!"
"It looks like Rika and Renamon," War Growlmon replied.
As soon as they gotten closer towards the train stop, they found familiar figures standing around. Tai took out his mini-telescope and peers through. To his delight, he calls out to their comrades.
"Hey, guys! We're back!"
This managed to catch their friends' attentions. Rika and Renamon turn to find the group returning from their confrontation with the Metal Cultivarmon. Lady Moinanea was the first to notice Veemon's newly evolved form. Max woke up from his sleep and quickly rushes over to greet his father.
"Dad! Welcome back!"
"Hey, look," Zoe said. "Is that Davis' digimon? He looks so different."
"That's because of the Crest of Nobility I've handed to him," Lady Moinanea stated. "Xveemon has digivolved into his second alternate ultimate form."
"How's it going guys?!" Kari cries out.
Tai and his group finally made it over to the train stop and settled down. Max runs over to Tai and hugs his youthful father.
"Dad, so how did the fight go?"
"Let's just say that those creeps won't be following us anytime soon."
"Wow, I really wish I could have been there. I would have provided some help. Right, Kek?"
"You bet and you know I would have been there to back you up."
"So tell me is that Veemon's new form?" Tommy asked. "He looks so cool."
"Yeah. His name is Wyveemon and you should have seen him!" Davis gloated. "Yep. He's going to lay it out on our new enemy. They don't stand a chance against Wyveemon."
"Let's not get too carried away now," Kouji said.
"Yeah. It's bad karma," stated Kouichi. "I'd suggest getting yourself a lucky rabbit's foot."
"What? You guys think I'm going to get too cocky for my own good?!"
"That's pretty much Davis in a whole nutshell," Rika muttered.
"I have to admit. Veemon's new form has a stronger ki than even Paildramon," Renamon replied. "The crest mostly likely tapped into Davis' deepest desires. If Veemon's forms weren't strong before, then we're definitely in for a big surprise."
"You think he might become stronger than Omega X?" War Growlmon asked.
"It's a possibility, but we'll see where his new powers go from here."
"Speaking of which, I still don't understand why you and Guilmon can't digivolve into mega yet," Takato said.
"Maybe we can try really hard next time," replied War Growlmon. "I'm sure we can bio-merge again."
"I hope so for our sake."
"Everyone, listen up," Lady Moinanea calls out to everyone around her. "If you would just listen up."
"We're listening, Lady Moinanea," said Tai. "You do have the four Digicores, right?"
"Yes and it would be best to get going to Seraphimon's castle. The enemy might be sending out reinforcements to hunt us down. If we act quickly, then we can restore Taichi's age," the demi-goddess announced. "Well, isn't that what you desire."
"Yeah. You heard the goddess guys," Kari said. "Let's get going."
"Yay! You'll finally be a full grown dad again!" Max exclaimed. "Though, I did kind of liked you better as a kid."
"Thanks, kiddo. Well, guys. This is it. We came pretty far and we've finally accomplished our task. Both sides played their cards right and we can go home with our heads held high."
"I have a question, Tai," Takato said. "Shouldn't we let our digimon remain in their ultimate and mega forms? You know just in case the enemy finds out where we are."
"That just might be a good idea. What do you think, Lady Moinanea?"
"It would be for the best. After all, there will be many enemies who will want to seek the power of these artifacts. If they are to be used by the hands of evil, galaxies will be put in jeopardy."
"Galaxies? Man, that's bad!" JP said.
"Bad is an understatement," said Agunimon. "Ok, guys. We have to get moving. Tai, we'll lead the way. Since our D-Tectors can access to the castle's entrance."
"There is no need," the demigoddess replied. "Seraphimon would have sensed my presence by now. He'll most definitely open the gates without the use of your D-Tectors."
"Wow, that's so cool!" Keke said. "We're glad to have you on our side."
"It's as if you already have authority over the three Celestials," Davis said.
"I may be the rightful ruler of this Digital World, but I will not disrespect the positions Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherbuimon hold. It will be a pleasure to meet them. Let's go. I'm already anxious as it is."
With that said, Lady Moinanea gathers up the four Digicores and starts skipping towards some steps. These steps would lead them up towards the gates of Seraphimon's castle. Everyone looked on with widened eyes as they watched the demigoddess skipping along as if she were a happy child.
"Am I missing something here? She's acting like a little kid with a bag of candy in her hand," Zoe said.
"You can tell she's excited," Tai laughed. "C'mon, let's follow her along!"
As soon as he said that, Tai and Max lead the group towards the long row of steps. They raced up as soon as possible in order to catch up to the demigoddess. The digimon managed to cover higher ground as they flew up to meet with Lady Moinanea at the gates.
"Hey, you cheaters!" Davis exclaimed with his fists raised. "We can't even fly."
"But we sure can," Keke and Max said in unison.
"Then why don't you fly over and wait for us to come up?"
"Because we want the exercise. Besides, I feel like racing up the stairs. I bet you can't beat me while you're ahead, Keke," Max teased.
"We'll see about that buster."
"Ok, prove me wrong. Ready?"
"Set."
"Go!"
The two kids started running up the stairs with rapid speed that would put even a cheetah to shame. Davis looks on with dirt covering his face. He wipes the dirt off and runs off after the children.
"C'mon, guys! Last one there is a rotten digiegg!" Davis exclaimed. "Hey, Kari! You don't want to end up as a rotten digiegg, do you?"
"Definitely not! I'm certainly in the mood for a race. It will be like reliving childhood memories," Kari said.
However as soon as Kari turned around, she saw Tai and Davis racing up against one another. She sighs deeply and gives chase to the goggle heads. Agunimon and the others simply nodded. They also went with the flow and raced off after them.
"Man, I really hate running long distances," JP complained.
"Complain all you want. At least we'll be staying clear out of enemy's reach," said Kouji.
"Yeah, if you want to live, then you'll just have to follow our lead," Agunimon said while jumping long distances.
"Easy for you to say," Tommy said. "You get to leap high distances as Agunimon!"
"Why don't you guys just spirit evolve?"
"Because we need enough energy to prepare for an enemy attack," Kouichi said. "Remember, you just came back from a battle."
"It was a fairly easy battle to be honest, Kouichi. Anyway, we're almost up the stairs guys."
"Look up ahead! They're already passing through the gate!" Takato calls out. "That must be Lady Moinanea's doing!"
"Takatomon. Look at that!"
"Yeah, it's Seraphimon's castle! Even though we've already been here, I'm still intrigued by such purity. I still can't believe that three Celestial Angels watch over this whole world."
"Though technically, it should rightfully belong to Lady Moinanea," said Rika. "What do you think, Renamon?"
"I'm sure they'll form a peace treaty over this controversy. After all, Lady Moinanea holds no grudge to Seraphimon and the angels."
"Yeah, it was because of that Lucemon's evil doings," Takato said. "So this Lucemon was that bad, Takuya?"
"He was rotten, wicked and such a bastard. I'm so glad we put an end to his evil ways forever. Now Lady Moinanea can regain her position as watcher of the Digital World without a maniac like Lucemon around to dethrone her."
"You're right. Anyway, we'll be sure to return home once they restore Tai to his normal age. So, are you guys going to stick around the Digital World for a while?"
"To tell you the truth, Takato. Even I'm not sure. We just might be given another job to do. Even we're left out in the dark," Agunimon replied. "Why? Are you guys returning home?"
"Yeah and we'll be back in time to watch up with some sleep. We've had quite a hassle."
"Hey, Takatomon. Look we're here," the cybernetic digimon pointed out above.
"Well, it took you guys long enough," Davis remarked. "We thought we were going to grow old."
"Very funny," Rika retorted towards Davis.
"Follow me everyone. Seraphimon awaits our presence," Lady Moinanea announced.
Everyone nodded their head in reply to Lord Moinanea's wishes and they went along to follow the demigoddess. The digimon remained at their partners from all sides to sense out for any disturbing kis. So far, there have been no dark kis coming from around the entire holy grounds.
"Wyveemon. You make sure to let us know if you sense out a sort of dark energy signal," Davis instructed his digimon partner.
"You got it. Leave it to me, Davis."
"That goes for you too, War Greymon," Tai said. "War Growlmon. I suggest staying at Takato's side and feel out for any vibrations. we can't the enemy locate us by simply listening to our movements…"
"That really isn't necessary, Taichi," Lady Moinanea said. "War Greymon and Wyveemon will be enough at the moment. We'll provide the other digimon as a second line of defense. Takuya, that includes you and the Legendary Warriors. In fact, you don't have possession of the last four spirits. You won't be able to evolve into you're mega forms."
"Yeah. I was meaning to ask if you knew a way to find these four lost spirits? We'll definitely need them if we hope to use Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon for any future battles."
"Seraphimon will most likely know, Takuya. Don't worry. Everything will be made clear once we meet with him."
Agunimon merely nodded his head and turned to find a doorway being opened in front of them. Tai and Agumon stood at the foot of the entrance. They peered through to find a transcendent light seething through the crystallized hallways.
"I think we've found his royal chamber," Tai said. "What do you say we check it out?"
"You think we ought to knock before entering?" Takato said.
"Nah, I'm sure he knows we're here," the leader said.
"Yes, you're quite the persistent one," a thunderous male voice calls out.
This managed to startle and catch everyone by surprise. Then they heard a slight laughter as Seraphimon appears on his throne. The Celestial angel's throne was decorated with a golden flare along with wing structures attached to the ends of his seat.
"Sorry if I startled you. I was merely testing out my entrance. You can't just let intruders coming in here unannounced. They need to be intimidated."
"So, we're you're guinea pigs?!" Davis asked frantically. "You could have warned us first!"
"My apologies. So, have you already gathered the four Black Digital Cores?"
"Yes, we have them all," Agunimon said. "However, we discovered the secrets behind its origins."
"It's origins?"
"Yeah. Seraphimon, allow us to introduce to you the true heir to the Digital World. This is Lady Moinanea," Zoe stated.
"Hello there, Lord Seraphimon. It's a pleasure to greet thee."
"Lord Moinanea?!" the angel lord choked. "The Lady Moinanea of legend is standing before me?!"
"Is there a problem? You seemed to be surprised to see her," Tai said.
"But of course! The first heir to the Digital World stands before me! I have every reason to be in this state of shock."
"You wouldn't need to worry," the demigoddess spoke. "I have not come to take away you're positions. You've truly lived up to you're expectations, despite Lucemon's attempt to destroy this side of the galaxy."
"Ok, so we can get the show on the road?" JP said. "I mean we're here to help Tai get back his adult body, right? Let's hurry it up and summon the digicores' powers."
"Haasn't anyone taught you patience?" Kari asked.
"I have to agree with him," Davis said. "There's no telling when those creeps will find us."
"Seraphimon. I request we activate the digicores," Lady Moinanea demanded. "Unless, you have another plan in mind."
"No, I completely agree with everyone. I've been informed by my colleagues, Cherubimon and Ophanimon, about a group of vintilages intruding our planet. It seems that the M5 Mutant Empire has decided to launch another attack after many years."
"Are these guys any tougher than Lucemon?" Kouji asked. "We've overcome the odds before."
"Not to mention that we have new allies on our side," Kouichi spoke up.
"Yes and as a group, you shall triumph. However, I fear that the entire army itself is even greater than Lucemon. While Lucemon sought to conquer this side of the galaxy, the M5 Mutant Empire seek to conquer the entire digital cosmos. They not only conquer planets, but destroy digimon and take their fractal codes to create artificial beings."
"Man, that's like taking away their free will to seek a peaceful after life! How unforgiving is that?!" Kari growled at the thought of the enemy's intentions.
"Don't worry, Kari," Takato assured her. "We'll be sure to shut these monsters down."
"Ok, let's hurry it up then," Rika calls out. "We don't have time to be standing around and think of what our enemies might do."
"She's right. Let us summon the power of the cores," the angel lord spoke while standing from his throne.
"I shall begin to chant," Lady Moinanea said.
"Are you sure you know how to activate them?"
"Yes, Lord Seraphimon. After all, I am their creator."
"What?! I… I… I never knew you were the creator behind these artifacts. But legends tell that these cores came from another world and are alien to this world."
"Yes and I was the one who brought them here. I created them from the farthest regions of this galaxy. You weren't even born at the time I was at the height of my power."
"Gee, Seraphimon. You really are left out on the blue," Tai said. "You ought to read a little more on your own planet's history."
"Now. Now. Be respectful to Lord Seraphimon," Lady Moinanea said. "Now… Dark chaos of magic… I summon thee mystic powers from these spheres… Arise great light and darkness… Intertwine, so you can…"
"Finally, now I'll be back to adulthood! This is going to be sweet! Sora will definitely be happy about this."
"Well, there goes my chance of having a brother," Max said in thought.
"…grant me… the wish to restore the age of the one named Taichi Kamiya… Please grant three and hear my call… I Lady Moinanea command…"
Suddenly, a massive explosion occurs in the background of the castle and this caught everyone off guard. The shockwave of the blast nearly pushed the digimon off of their feet, but the humans were easily knocked off of their feet. Lady Moinanea's chant was utterly put to a halt.
"Who dares attack my scared grounds?!" Seraphimon demanded. "Identify yourselves, intruders!"
Out from the smoke cloud, there were numerous of bipedal mecha warriors embedded with protective armor with artillery of gunnery attached to them. The digimon stood their ground to protect their human comrades. War Greymon, Wyveemon, Agunimon and War Growlmon were prepared to launch an aggressive assault on the new enemies.
"Now isn't that a proper way to greet your guests," an arrogant, feminine tone replied.
This voice quickly brought chills down the spines of Agunimon, Kouji and the other legendary warrior. It looks as if they had heard a ghost from the past. Tai and the others weren't too sure on how to deal with this.
"It couldn't her," Agunimon stuttered. "We saw Lucemon scan her data. She's supposed to be…"
"Dead?! Well, you're only half right. However, you seem to be mistaking me with such a weakling. I'm in no way the Crusadermon you've dealt with before," the pink-armored knight walked out with a rose in hand. "My power vastly exceeds my counterpart."
"She looks pretty much similar!" JP cries out. "We don't even have all the spirits to let Takuya and Kouji spirit evolve into mega!"
"Such a shame, but I'm sure you're four friends standing in front of you don't seem to agree."
"You guys can't be serious! The last Crusadermon we fought constantly beaten us," Tommy said. "I say pull back!"
"No way. She has no idea who she's up against," Kari said. "I'm afraid she's in for a big surprise."
"You got that right. Hey, goggle head! Why don't we test out our bio-merging sequence?"
"Yeah, it's worth a shot."
"Wyveemon. Are you still able to digivolve into Imperialdramon?" Davis asked. "I mean will I be able to merge with you again?"
"We won't know until we try, Davis. I honestly can't say what will happen if we merge with my new ultimate form."
"So, which one of you cowards wants a crack shot at me? Make it easy on yourselves. Turn yourselves and the digicores over. I'm very sure you all will make fine cybernetic slaves."
"Over our dead body, lady!" Tai calls out. "War Greymon! Time to school this wench!"
"You got it!"
"Agunimon! You're going to need some help," JP said. "Allow us to lend you a hand."
"Thanks, but I'll have more than enough with these four."
"You can save you're strength too, Angewomon," stated Kari. "Our top priority is to get away with the digicores. We can't let her steal away what we've worked hard to gain."
"Right! Let's move out…"
"I'm afraid I can't allow you to escape so soon, my dear friends," Crusadermon turned and fires a ki blast towards the remaining opposition.
"Hey! We're you're opponents!" Tai calls out. "Keep you're attention on us!"
Crusadermon turns her attention back on the four lead digimon and raised her hand in front of them. War Greymon jumps out to one corner with War Growlmon. Agunimon leaps into the opposite corner with Wyveemon at his side.
"Attack! Now!" Takato calls out.
With that said, the four digimon charged in and started to attack Crusadermon all at once. At the same time, each of the cybernetic warriors jumped in to aid their colonel. War Growlmon managed to push away several robotic guards with his Radiation Blades. Agunimon leaps up into the air and brings down a devastating fire tornado that easily shuts down another gang of mecha troops.
"Kari! You and Angewomon lead everyone out from here!" Tai ordered.
"Why can't we fight with you?!" Kari asked.
"Because we have to keep those digicores well hidden and safe from enemy hands! Hurry, there's no time!"
"Ok! Everyone follow us!" Angewomon exclaimed to everyone not involved in the battle.
"Stay tough, dad! I know you and War Greymon will take care of these guys!" Max calls out.
"Don't forget that you have Davis, Takato and Takuya on you're side!" replied Keke.
Soon after that, the children chased off after their comrades. Rika and Renamon were the last ones to leave from the scene. This allowed enough space for Tai's team to do battle with the dastardly invaders.
"I will stay and fight alongside these brave warriors," Seraphimon said. "It's my duty to protect this castle. Lady Moinanea, you must get away from here! If you or the digicores are captured, then the Digital World will be in danger of becoming new grounds for the M5 Mutant Empire."
"I will. Be careful, Lord Seraphimon!"
"Now hurry! Go!"
With that said, the demigoddess rushes out with the four digicores in her tight grasp. Crusadermon turned to face the fleeing deity. The warrior rushes out to prevent her from escape. Seraphimon phases in front of Crusadermon to block her away. Lady Moinanea saw this as her final opportunity to escape through the back hallways.
"You are in my way, Seraphimon! If you wish to be spared, I suggest you stand down. This does not concern you."
"You wish to harm the Digital World. I represent one of the three Celestial Angel watchers of this world and I can't allow you to take the black digicores."
"You can't allow, you say? Well, I guess I'll just have to force my way through you! Prepare for the oblivion!"
Just as the knight digimon was close to launching an attack, a powerful blast came shooting out of nowhere and struck Crusadermon across her back. The knight turns around and faced War Greymon.
"You were just on the receiving end of one of my buddy's patented techniques. Would you care to try another?" Tai exclaimed. "There's no way we're turning ourselves in!"
Crusadermon simply chuckled to herself and held her injured backside. She noticed a few deep dents on her armored back. War Greymon simply cups his hands together to prepare to launch another Terra Beam. Crusadermon saw this coming and rushes towards the mega.
"You think I'll fall for such a helpless trick?!" the knight calls out. "You only caught me off guard. That's okay. You seem pretty sure of yourself, kid."
"Excuse me. I'm not a kid. I'd be my old adult self if you didn't screw it all up! You really don't want to catch me when I'm in a pissy ass mood! Wrong time to mess with a goggle head."
"Are those threats, my dear human? Well, allow me to make it up to you for my brash rudeness."
"You really don't have to. War Greymon will take care of that. Ready to jack this bitch up, buddy?"
"I'm ready as I ever will be, Tai," War Greymon replied. "Let's dance."
War Greymon quickly gets into a fighting stance and faces off against Crusadermon. The knight flies out towards War Greymon and goes to strike him with her hand shield. War Greymon manages to duck under and execute a kick to Crusadermon's exposed gut. The force was strong enough to send Crusadermon soaring up.
"What strength from such a mid-class mega. How did it gain so much power? A normal War Greymon would have fallen before me in the first moments of a battle. But this one is different. He's strong… Too strong…"
"I wonder how everyone else is holding their own."
On the other side of the battlefield, Wyveemon soars over the skies and fires away numerous blasts from his mouth. Each mecha warrior managed to dodge each blast, but some were not ready for such an assault. The digimon were tearing up the cybernetic lackies from right to left. Even Crusadermon was starting to become a little too worried by the opposition's overwhelming tenacity.
"Damn! They're already destroying my cybernetic guards! Even this War Greymon is already giving me problems."
"Give it up. You can't win," Tai said. "Ok, Davis! Time to unleash Imperialdramon! Takato, why not give bio-merging a try?"
"All right! Time to give this our best shot!" the two goggle heads exclaimed in unison.
[Play Zero two theme "Target Akai Shougeki"]
"Wyveemon! Warp Shinka!"
Davis was completely caught by utter shock as Wyveemon grew with extraordinary results. This is the first time that Davis wasn't required to merge with Veemon to form Imperialdramon. It looks as if Wyveemon has some special abilities that allow him to digivolve straight to mega without a partner to merge with.
"Whoa! Whoa! He did it! He actually did it!"
"IMPERIALDRAMON!"
The gigantic dragon mega lands before Crusadermon and prepares to launch its attack. War Greymon stood by next to the newly digivolved digimon and takes a fighting stance.
"What do you say we give her the ol' one two?" Davis asked.
"Uh, couldn't you come up with something better?"
"Um, no… I honestly can't…"
"War Growlmon! Time to…"
Suddenly, War Growlmon's body started to emit a bright, red aura. Takato jumped back as his partner took the form of a familiar monster from the past. Yes, standing before the goggle head was Megidramon. At least, it looked like Megidramon. This new Megidramon was standing on two massive hind legs to maintain its balance. Its eyes were completely innocent like Guilmon's instead of having a frightening demonic look. Pair of blades was sheathed from his side elbows. Finally, a pair of gargoyle-like wings spread out over his back.
"What?! He digivolved into Megidramon!" Tai cries out. "I'll never forget that face…"
"No, wait, Tai. I feel a different aura from this creature. It's a aura of pure good," War Greymon said. "My guess is that bio-merging is still inaccessible. Though, this is good enough."
"Guilmon… You're Megidramon, again?!" Takato exclaimed. "But you look so different and it doesn't look you're going to attack anyone. Guilmon, can you hear me?"
"Mmhmm. Don't worry, Takato. I'm in complete control."
"Why can't we bio-merge? I don't get it."
"I'm not to sure to be honest with you, Takato. However, my strength has really increased. I think I'm just as strong as I was when I was Gallantmon. I could perhaps be even stronger. Plus, I seem to be more mobile without that heavy armor."
"Then let's give it a test run, buddy!"
"You got it!"
"Hey, Takuya. You ready?"
"That's a really dumb question. Of course, I'm ready!" Agunimon replied.
"I knew you would say that," Takato said with a chuckle. "Though, I still need to know how Guilmon was able to control his Megidramon form. Well, at least, he's on our side and not biting our heads off."
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
[Play FF8 Battle theme]
Megidramon and Agunimon stood their ground, as Crusadermon was ready. Seraphimon came walking out from the background and crosses his arms. War Greymon and Imperialdramon were standing at the left hand corner. Crusadermon was completely surrounded and a prime target for the five warriors of justice.
"You expect me to surrender to you? Bah, I'm Colonel of the M5 Mutant Empire! I will not rest until I've taken the four digicores and captured some human specimens. But don't think I'm working on this operation alone."
"What?" Tai said. "What do you mean?"
"I'm afraid you're friends are about to run into a little bad luck," Crusadermon replied. "Right about now."
Suddenly, there were screams heard from the background. The warriors all turned to hear out the cries. They were coming from Kari and the others.
"It's my sister! They're in big trouble!" Tai calls out. "On no! Max!"
"Don't worry. You'll soon be joining them, my friend."
"War Greymon! Take her ass down!"
War Greymon flies out towards Crusadermon and starts throwing our punches towards her. The pink armored knight dodges each blow, but at the same time struggles. Imperialdramon flies out the other side and fires away a Positron Laser that manages to catch Crusadermon off guard. Megidramon takes advantage and flies out. Agunimon leaps up on top of Megidramon and rides him out towards the enemy. Crusadermon manages to phase away, not until Megidramon blasts her with a Megiddo Flame. Agunimon takes advantage of the situation by leaping up and executing a missile dropkick. Crusadermon is sent skidding across the floor. Seraphimon appears above the fallen knight and hoists her up.
"You will pay for disrespecting the name of the Celestial Angels!"
With that said, Seraphimon tosses Crusadermon up and forms numerous energy spheres in front of his hands.
"Seven Heavens!"
However, Crusadermon was able to maneuver from the blasts. She flew out to attack Seraphimon head on, until Seraphimon waved his hands to a different direction. The spheres came shooting down at Crusadermon by Seraphimon's hand wave alone. Crusadermon screams out as she goes landing hard on the ground.
"All right, guys! I'm going to go help my sister and everybody else! Those digicores are not going to be taken without a fight!" Tai said. "War Greymon! Follow me!"
"I'm right behind you!"
Tai and War Greymon flew out to save their friends. Meanwhile, Imperialdramon, Megidramon and Agunimon stayed to keep Crusadermon busy. Unfortunately, the knight had a few tricks up her sleeve. She pulls out two orbs and throws them out towards each mega. The megas attempted to rip of the spheres attached to their bodies, but quickly felt their energy being drained away.
"What's going on?!" Davis asked. "Hey! What are those things?"
"It looks like they're draining our digimon's energy! They're loosing power!" Takato calls out.
"How perceptive, child," Crusadermon replied. "Those spheres will supply enough power to suite our needs. With their loss of power, they're reverted back to their rookie forms."
Agunimon and Seraphimon looked on as Veemon and Guilmon returned to their normal forms. Crusadermon calls back her orbs and has in her possession the digimon's power.
"Ah, man! This sucks!" Davis cursed. "That's not fair! Our digimon couldn't even detect those!"
"Of course not. They don't possess ki energy you dimwit," Crusadermon muttered. "Now, to capture some perfect human specimens!"
Crusadermon launches a net that manages to capture Takato and Guilmon. The duo struggled to break free, but the net itself produced a restraint that held them down. Davis and Veemon charged Crusadermon to free their friends.
"You give them back, bitch!" Davis cries out.
"They're not yours to take!" Veemon said. "Why didn't you take us? Not good enough for you?!"
"These two are good enough as it is," Crusadermon said. "Now time to capture that boy and his sister."
The knight phased out from the throne room and goes out to hunt for Tai. Davis turns his attention to Seraphimon and Agunimon.
"You guys! She's going after Tai and Kari! We have to go and save them!"
"Right! Seraphimon, lead the way," Agunimon said.
"Follow me! They went down this hallway to the right!"
Seraphimon flies out towards the hallway with Agunimon, Davis and Veemon following in pursuit.
"Hang in there, guys! We're coming!" Davis said in thought.
[Theme ends]
*********************************************************************
Unfortunately, not everything went had gone as Davis wanted them to be. Crusadermon aided her mecha warriors to prevent the remaining legendary warriors from spirit evolving. Crusadermon used her orb technique to drain away Angewomon's ki away. Kari was already ensnared into a net. Tai was already taken out by the mecha guards and encased in another net. War Greymon weakened as an orb was already attached to his armored chest. The megas were quickly reverted back to their rookie forms. After that, nets were launched to ensnare both Agumon and Gatomon. Even Renamon succumbed to an energy-draining sphere. She and Rika were eventually captured as well.
"You caught us off guard!" Tai cries out. "We didn't expect you to use something that would drain our energy!"
"Put my dad down!" Max cries out.
"Max! Don't be stupid! You'll be captured as well!" Keke replied.
"Well, a true warrior should be prepared for anything," Crusadermon said. "Isn't that right, Lady Moinanea. It's so good to finally meet you."
The demigoddess, too, was captured in a tight net. The mecha guards stole away the four digicores and held them in their possession.
"You won't get away with this! According to my visions of the future, you're empire will fall!"
"We'll just see who ends up being accurate my lady," Crusadermon mocks the demigoddess.
Just then, Crusadermon felt a number of ki running through the back chambers. Seraphimon, Davis, Veemon and Agunimon stopped as they saw Crusadermon facing them. Davis gasped as he saw Lady Moinanea, Kari and Tai as her next captives.
"Hey, you put them down!" Davis exclaimed. "You cheap shot them!"
"Who says anyone has to play fair? That's life, young man. Live with it. Now my robotic guards, we must take our leave now!"
"Yes, Colonel!"
As soon as Seraphimon was about to stop them, Crusadermon and her guards quickly phased out with their captives. Max cursed as he flies above to find no trace of the villainous intruders.
"They got away!" Max growled. "Damn! I should have stopped them!"
"There would have been nothing you could have done, Max," Zoe calls out. "You would have suffered the same fate as your father. I'm sorry to being the bearer of bad news."
"It's true, Max," Keke said.
"No… dad… We came so close to getting his age back. Not only is my dad captured, but also Aunt Kari, Takato and Rika. Even Lady Moinanea and the digicores are in their grasp. We let everyone down."
"That's no true," Davis calls out. "Just because we were duped, doesn't mean we can't go down without a fight."
"Yeah. Besides, if anything, Seraphimon will help us locate their base. They are bound to have one. Right?"
"Yes, but we must act fast. There's no telling what sick experiments the M5 empire has in store for you're friends. If they manage to unlock the powers within the black digital cores, then the entire digital galaxy will be put at great risk."
"You can count on us then," Kouji said as Agunimon was untying the nets.
"We'll save our friends and bring those digicores back. We worked our asses off to gain them and we're not going to let these crooks get the best of us," Davis said.
"Right! Besides, we have the legendary warriors and Wyveemon on our side," Keke said.
"I also must grant you children the last four remaining spirits. With these they will enable you to evolve into Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon," Seraphimon said.
"What?! Does this mean what I think it means?! You hear that, Kouji? Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon are back in the picture!"
"That's the best news I've heard all day."
Max looks out to the heavens and picks up a rock. He tosses it across and watched it land into a pond.
"Don't you worry, guys. We're going to help you break free and waste these good for nothing cheats."
With Tai, Kari, Takato and Rika captured by Crusadermon's guards, our remaining heroes are left to wonder what to do next. It seems Takuya and Kouji are getting what they've bargained for. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon will be back in action, but will it be enough? The M5 Mutant Empire has the four black digicores, along with their creator, Lady Moinanea. Can our humans gain enough time to locate and infiltrate the enemy's base?

The Plan to Rescue Taichi and Friends! War Greymon's Great Determination!
Crusadermon and her guards quickly phased out with their captives. Max cursed as he flies above to find no trace of the villainous intruders.
"They got away!" Max growled. "Damn! I should have stopped them!"
"There would have been nothing you could have done, Max," Zoe calls out. "You would have suffered the same fate as your father. I'm sorry to being the bearer of bad news."
"It's true, Max," Keke said.
"No… dad… We came so close to getting his age back. Not only is my dad captured, but also Aunt Kari, Takato and Rika. Even Lady Moinanea and the digicores are in their grasp. We let everyone down."
"That's no true," Davis calls out. "Just because we were duped, doesn't mean we can't go down without a fight."
"Yeah. Besides, if anything, Seraphimon will help us locate their base. They are bound to have one. Right?"
"Yes, but we must act fast. There's no telling what sick experiments the M5 Empire has in store for your friends. If they manage to unlock the powers within the black digital cores, then the entire digital galaxy will be put at great risk."
"You can count on us then," Kouji said as Agunimon was untying the nets.
"We'll save our friends and bring those digicores back. We worked our asses off to gain them and we're not going to let these crooks get the best of us," Davis said.
"Right! Besides, we have the legendary warriors and Wyveemon on our side," Keke said.
"I also must grant you children the last four remaining spirits. With these they will enable you to evolve into Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon," Seraphimon said.
"What?! Does this mean what I think it means?! You hear that, Kouji? Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon are back in the picture!"
"That's the best news I've heard all day."
Max looks out to the heavens and picks up a rock. He tosses it across and watched it land into a pond.
"Don't you worry, guys. We're going to help you break free and waste these good for nothing cheats."

M5 Machine Empire Headquarters
Many miles away from the Forest Terminal was a landscape shrouded with metallic structures and forests covered in metal. Everything within this eastern region was a metal empire. There was not even a trace of organic digimon activity and it was quiet as a ghost town.
Standing ominously over this newly constructed metal landscape was a row of towers with satellite networks linked. Many cybernetic gliders flew across the towers while on patrol for any intruders. These metallic newcomers have already made themselves quite a home in the Digital World.
There was one tower that seemed to be teeming with activity of many sorts. Inside, there were bodies laid on the floor with robotic guards standing over them with curiosity. It was none other than the crew that were captured by Crusadermon and her minions. Tai, Takato, Kari and Rika were all sprawled on the floor in unconscious states. Though, Tai was seemingly enjoying a good nap. The digimon were scattered on the other section of the floor.
On the other hand, Lady Moinanea was trapped inside a capsule with a strong barrier keeping her locked inside. Not even her divine power would help her in this situation.
"My powers are useless at this point. Even if I could, then Crusadermon will recapture me. I hope the children aren't harmed in anyway. I blame myself for this. I should have fended them off if they didn't plan an ambush. I'm a failure as a divinity to this world."
With that said, a single tear came running down the demigoddess' pure eyes. She was completely helpless and had lost all hope of her position.
However, there was one individual looking on from a monitor. He was quite curious over the humans and digimon that were captured. He was even more fascinated to know that Lady Moinanea and the black digicores were captured. This curious individual was the general of the entire mutant forces, Dynasmon.
"Interesting. Not only did Crusadermon capture humans and digimon, but she's also managed to capture Lady Moinanea and the four black digital cores. We have managed to ensnare not just the cores, but also their creator. We will gain infinite power to help expand our empire throughout the digital universe. What a grand day! Dr. Myuumon will be very pleased about this unexpected news."
The mega-level general looks back to the other monitor focusing on four Digi-Destined and their digimon partners. His eyebrows quirked in curiosity.
"But do these digimon have the incredible powers that Dr. Myuumon has mentioned?"
Dynasmon sits up from his chair and turns to face a group of robots gathered together. He clears his throat and gives them their next order.
"Lab robots. I want you to take the human and digimon specimens to the laboratory immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
*****************************************************************************************
Seraphimon's Castle
The remaining Digi-Destined gathered within the throne room of Seraphimon. Davis and Veemon were playing a game of Rosh ambo with Max. As usual, Max was beating Davis nearly every time.
"Damn, kid. You're good. It is like you can predict the outcome even before I make my decision. Don't tell me you're psychic."
"Nope, I wish I was psychic though."
"What's the score?" Keke asked.
"Max- 23 and Davis- 4. I already lost count on Max's victories," Veemon said.
"How can you guys be playing games at a time like this?" Zoe asked. "You're dad and aunt was captured Max."
"I'm sure they'll be fine for now. There's no use to worry over spilled milk."
"I don't think that's how it goes," Keke points out to the boy's mistake. "It goes like this: There's no use crying over spilled milk."
"Oh, I knew that."
"You know I'm really looking forward to kicking some butt as Kaiser Greymon," Takuya said. "Don't you think, Kouji?"
"You're telling me. Remember, we are only receiving the last spirits in order to save Tai and the others. We're not here to play games."
"Right, right. So, what is the hold up? What's taking Seraphimon so long?"
With that said, Seraphimon quickly phases in with a gold-covered box with an angel emblem on it's chest. The children got up and gathered around to take a closer look at the item.
"So, you're telling us that the last four spirits are in this box?" asked Kouichi.
"Yes. I left to pay a visit to both Ophanimon and Cherubimon. They are aware at the situation at hand and have gladly handed the last four spirits. As you recall, these spirits have yet to be found by another set of children. However, I am giving you these spirits to enable you to revive the unified spirit warriors: Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon. The same warriors that defeated the evil Cherubimon."
"So, let's take a look at those spirits," Max said.
"Yes, the time has come."
As soon as Seraphimon finished speaking, he opens the golden case and there were four glowing items revealed within the box. These are the same spirits that represent steel, water, wood and earth."
"I never thought I'd see those spirits again," Tommy said.
"Beautiful," commented Zoe.
"But that means we can't even help you guys in the battle," JP said. "That would really suck if we were forced to sit at the sidelines again."
"Ha, ha. Do not fret. The spirit's powers have been modified since the defeat of Lucemon. Therefore, you will be able to participate in the battle."
"So we'll get to lend Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon after all?!" Kouichi said. "Now that's a good deal!"
"However, you must be cautious. While you do share the spirit's powers through Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon, you must not put too much strain on yourselves. You must be certain when to use them. Be wise about you're decision."
"Right we understand completely," Zoe said. "I guess you'll be needing my help after all, Takuya."
"Heh. Yeah, right," Takuya replied. "So, are you guys ready?!"
"Hold on a second!" Davis calls out. "Don't forget that we'll be lending you a hand. Besides, we also have to get back the black digicores, rescue Lady Moinanea and our friends."
"Yeah! Those metal creeps have my dad and I don't even want to know what they're planning to do to him!"
"I'll back you up, Max," Keke said. "Besides, we're a team and you're not leaving me behind."
"With all of you're combined forces, you should be able to handle the task at hand," the divine angel spoke. "Good luck, my legendary warriors."
"We have this under control! All right, guys! It's time to call upon the powers that brought us back to this world!" Takuya calls out.
The chosen children held out their D-Tectors as rays of light came showering down upon them. Takuya's D-Tector became unified with the human and beast spirits of Fire, Earth, Wood, Wind and Ice. Meanwhile, Kouji's D-Tector was unified with the human and beast spirits of Light, Water, Steel, Thunder and Darkness.
(Play Digimon Frontier Hyper Spirit Evolution theme "The Last Element")
"Wow. So they can really unify their spirits?" Max said. "Awesome…"
"I wish we could do that," Davis commented. "I hope it includes an instruction manual.
Takuya holds his D-Tector and scans it across his hand, which was shroudded by rings of data. He then calls out to the spirits within his device.
"Execute! Hyper Spirit Evolution!"
As soon as he said that, Takuya was instantly turned into a body composed of data. His digital body became fused with the spirits of Fire, Earth, Wood, Wind and Ice. In place of Takuya was a massive, heavily armored warrior with a helmet shaped like War Greymon, a massive sword in his right hand and symbol below his belt. The warrior swings his sword with great ferocity and calls out his official name.
"Kaiser Greymon!"
Kaiser Greymon came walking out from a cloud of smoke. Max, Keke and Davis were quickly taken back in surprise by the mega's revival.
"Ahh, what a rush," Kaiser Greymon said. "Kouji! It's you're turn!"
With that said, Kouji holds his D-Tector and scans it over his hand. His body then became shrouded with rings of data and calls out to the spirits within his device.
"Execute! Hyper Spirit Evolution!"
Kouji was instantly turned into a body composed of data. His digital body became fused with the spirits of Light, Water, Steel, Thunder and Darkness. Standing in place of Kouji was a smaller warrior with heavy weaponry. His face was completely wolf-like in appearance and his right hand became a gigantic missile launcher. The newly evolved warrior fires away missiles out through the roof the palace and calls out his name.
"Magna Garurumon!"
Now joining Kaiser Greymon was Magna Garurumon. The newly digivolved duo stood next to one another with their friends looking on in complete awe.
"It feels so good getting back the power we once harnessed," Magna Garurumon said.
"You're telling me," replied Kaiser Greymon. "Ok, I have a lock on the enemy's ki. They moved out towards the east direction."
"Wow, they can sense kis faster than I can," Veemon said.
"No surprise there," Max said. "They're hybrids just like us. Hybrids have a better keen sense than normal digimon do."
"But I'm sort of a hybrid since I once fused with Davis," Veemon said.
"Hmm, who knows?" Keke said. "They must be special then because they are humans unified with the spirits of digimon. My dad and Max's dad use a different method of fusion evolving."
"That's enough talk, guys. Don't you friends that need to be saved?" asked Kaiser Greymon.
"You bet! Dad! We're on our way! Hang on tight!" Max exclaimed.
The newly digivolved megas picked up their non-digivolved friends and took off. Davis, Max and Keke soon followed as Veemon digivolved into Wyveemon. Their mission was simple and that was to save their comrades from the clutches of the M5 Mutant Empire.
"Good luck, my friends," Seraphimon said. "You saved our world once and you will do it again. I have good faith in you."
****************************************************************************************
Earth. Japan. Odaiba Central Park: 12:30 pm
Meanwhile, back on the peaceful planet of Earth, Odaiba was having an even brighter day than what was taking place in the Digital World. Children were gathered in many sections of the park and parents were having conversations with one another. There were some that came to play their favorite leisure activities, including card dueling.
Oh the other hand, there were some who decided to take a nice relaxation from the outside world. Henry Wong was sitting next to an oak tree while taking a nap. He had a rough week while dealing with arguments with his younger sister, Suzie. She had grown to be more bratty than her sweet, innocent child self five years ago. Already a teenager, Henry has now dealt with the many problems a normal teenager would deal with. He takes trips to the park to clear his mind and meditate. Taking lessons with his sensei at an earlier age was the best idea Henry could ever have.
"Ahh, all I need is a little time to myself. I didn't imagine Suzie would grow up to be such a bratty witch. It makes me miss her old innocent self. Having a good time stealing other people's food, Terriermon?"
Walking out from a bush was the rabbit-eared dog with a handful of bananas and ding dongs. Terriermon sits next to Henry and peels a banana.
"Hey, a digimon has to get something into his stomach. You know I'll do anything to get some grub. Want some?"
"If it's from another person, then I decline. It's just not proper of me."
"Oh well. That saves more for me. Heh, these bananas have protein. You need some of that protein, Henry. Heck, I should remind myself that."
"I wonder…"
"What's up, Henry?"
"It's about Takato, Rika and the others. I wonder what kind of crazy adventure they're having in that digital world."
"I'm sure Guilmon and Takato are annoying Rika with their usual antics. Heck, I bet they're having a blast. You worry too much, buddy. Maybe, you ought to enjoy this Sunday afternoon."
"I just find it hard to believe that there are four main digital worlds within this digital universe. We're only familiar with two. Of course, Takato and Rika have already discovered this third world. What about the digital world in the northern quadrant? We heard Shintomon explain that an incredible force destroyed nearly every portion of that quadrant."
"What's so fascinating about that? It's the same as you guys having many other planets in you're solar system, right? I don't see the big fuss over this."
"I know. I'm just being observant."
"A little too observant if you ask me."
"Hey, Henry!" a girl's voice calls out to the boy.
"Who's there?"
Henry turns around to see a brown-haired girl wearing a green blouse with a yellow skirt. Standing next to the girl was a a tall individual with elf-like ears and orange hair. He was wearing a pair of leather black pants and a white muscle shirt. Henry quickly recognises the pair and waves over to them.
"Hey, Jeri! Pikkan! It's good to see you!"
"How's everything been, Henry?" Jeri asked. "Why are you and Terriermon here alone?"
"Oh, I just needed some timeout from my sister's usual rambling."
"Again? When is she ever going to learn? I feel sorry for poor Lopmon right about now."
"Sucks to be you, Henry," Pikkan remarked.
"I'm also a little worried about Rika, Takato, Tai and the others. I hope they didn't run into any problems during their trip," the boy continued. "What do you guys think?"
"You worry too much, Henry," Jeri said. "They can pretty much handle it. They have Tai accompanying them. What could go wrong?"
"That's what I'm worried about. What if they have to face enemies that could be tougher than even the D-Reaper?" Henry said.
"Hey, Henry! Take a chill pill. They'll be just fine," Terriermon spoke up. "They've overcome many tough customers before and they'll do it again. It just sucks that we didn't even get to go."
"How do you think I feel?" Pikkan asked. "I wanted to see if I could get a little decent competition against new enemies. This waiting around is boring! I wanted to kick some ass!"
"Oh, don't worry, Pikkan. I can help arrange that," Jeri said while whispering in Pikkan's ears.
"Now that's what I'm talking about it," Pikkan said. "You just read my mind!"
"Um, any idea what they're thinking, Henry?" Terriermon asked. "It looks pretty obvious, don't you think?"
"I'd rather not discuss it at this moment," Henry said with a sweat drop coming down his forehead.
*****************************************************************************************
M5 Machine Empire Outside Quadrants
The machine territory was now heavily guarded by an array of robotic soldiers, including highly advanced versions of Mekanorimon and HiAndromon. Their bodies were equipped with specialized destructive weaponry, courtesy of Dr. Myuumon.
Suddenly, their sensors started going off while picking up a large quantity of ki heading towards their direction. They looked up to find none other than the legendary warriors. Kaiser Greymon came landing down and cut a HiAndromon in half with his sword. The mega calls over towards his comrades, who came flying down from the skies one by one. Kazemon, Kumamon, Loweemon and Beetlemon unleashed their attacks to put down several more robotic guards.
"These guys aren't so tough," Kaiser Greymon said. "Here I thought we would be dealing with a highly advanced army."
"Let's not underestimate our enemies, Takuya," spoke Magna Garurumon. "They are a bigger threat when they attack in large quantities. Behind you!"
With that said, Kaiser Greymon turned around as a group of Mekanorimon came charging with missiles ready to be deployed. The mega level warrior slams his sword through the earth and unleashes an array of fire dragons.
"Pyro Dragons!"
The fire dragons flew out towards the Mekanorimon and quickly immobilized them. Magna Garurumon seized this opportunity and fires away missiles to quickly destroy the cybernetic digimon.
"Now that's how it's done! That's how it's done!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed. "Hey, I thought Davis, Max and Keke would be here by now…"
Suddenly, a massive explosion occurs in the background as the legendary warriors turned to find Wyveemon disposed of a HiAndromon. Max and Keke stood triumphantly over the broken down machine soldiers.
"I spoke too soon," muttered Kaiser Greymon. "Nice shot, Wyveemon!"
"Thanks. These wimps are nothing but target practice."
"Max has a idea of how we can get into that building in the center of the machine city," said Keke.
"We're listening, kid," Beetlemon said. "What's on you're mind?"
"I was thinking that Wyveemon, Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon can stay outside to take care of the machine guards while Keke, myself and you four would like to help us free our friends. What do you think? Besides I'm sure Davis, Takuya and Kouji wouldn't mind trashing these garbage disposals."
"Now that's using you're head," Kumamon said. "Sure, we'll help."
"After all, we should be able to hide and prevent ourselves from being detected," Kazemon said. "Hear that, Takuya? You'll be having some fun."
"Just the way I like it. You guys better get a move on, because I don't think these bucket heads aren't going to give up. We'll hold them off."
"We'll be sure to bring back our friends and return as soon as possible," Keke assured them.
"Let's move out guys!" Max calls out.
The young boy flies off towards the machine city along with Keke. The remaining four legendary warriors followed along to catch up with the two kids. This left Davis cheering on from the background as Wyveemon, Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon were ready to trash another army of HiAndromon.
"It's clobbering time!" Kaiser Greymon calls out.
Meanwhile, Max and Keke landed in front of the main headquarters. They were puzzled that there weren't any guards around to stop them. Kazemon, Kumamon, Beetlemon and Loweemon made just in time to meet up with Keke and Max.
"There it is guys. We don't see any guards. So we're free to pass," Max said.
"But I do find it quite odd that guards aren't around. It's almost as if they expect us to infiltrate their headquarters," Loweemon said.
"I agree. This is way too obvious," Beetlemon said.
"Well, obvious or not, we're going in to save my dad and our friends. There is no time to lose," Max said while rushing in through the entranceway.
"That's Max for you. He always forgets to think with his head. You aren't going without me!" Keke calls out.
The remaining five hurried along down the long entrance path. However, they were unable to keep up with Max's speed. The boy had already raced across the long passageway. Just as he turned around to a left corner, there was a line of Mekanorimon marching down. Max stopped at the last second and leaps up onto the ceiling. From there, he crawls through an open ventilation. He looks down and finds his friends running down the same path.
"Guys! Hey guys! Get up here!" Max calls out quietly.
"Max! What are you doing up there?!" Keke asked. "This is no time to…"
"We better do as he says. We have company," Kazemon said.
"Aw, crap! Hang on, Max! You better have plenty of room up there!"
With that said, Kazemon picks up Keke and flies up through the open ventilation. Beetlemon picks up Kumamon and follows along. Loweemon leaps up onto the ceiling and hangs tightly as if he were Spiderman. The Mekanorimon guards continued their march without even detecting the intruders.
"Hey, guys. I just had a brilliant idea," Keke said. "I say we knock the hell out of those rust buckets, rewire their programming and wear their armored suits? We could easily blend in and those guards could lead us to where our friends are being held."
"Ah, the perfect disguise to fool the enemy. I love how you think," Kazemon said.
"Allow me to make things possible," Loweemon said.
With that said, the warrior of darkness jumps off from the ceiling and delivers a spinning back kick that managed to knock down one Mekanorimon guard. The other guards turned to find Loweemon and prepared to aim fire. Unfortunately, Max and Keke came leaping down. The two kids delivered hard punches that managed to knock down two Mekanorimon. This left Kazemon, Kumamon, and Beetlemon to take out the remaining three guards with their patented offensive attacks.
"Alright! That was phase two of our plan!" Keke exclaimed. "NOw all we have to do is get inside their bodies, rewire their programming and we'll be blended in within this rat hole."
"You're not a cutie, but a smart cutie," Max said. "That's just the way I like you."
"Thanks. Let's save that for later. All right, everyone. Let's get these suits working."
*****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the trio team of Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon and Wyveemon were laying waste to numerous of HiAndromon quarries. They weren't even breaking a single sweat dealing with the M-5's elite forces. Davis kicked back while looking at his watch.
"Damn, at this point, I'm going to be bored out of my mind. Hey, are you guys done yet?"
"Sorry, Davis. These guys are like cockroaches," replied Wyveemon. "We squash one and another comes crawling out."
"They are easy, but why is it that we have to deal with more? It seems like these robots are produced every second."
"I've noticed that too, Takuya," Magna Garurumon said as he continued his assault.
"I just hope those guys hurry it up. At this rate, we're going to be exhausted," Davis muttered. "We have to stay in the game and stick to Max's plan. I'm sure they're getting Tai and the others out of there by now."
*****************************************************************************************
With Max's semi-knowledge on rewiring machines, the crew went inside the Mekanorimon suits and controlled their movements. Now they were able to blend in perfectly with the environment without being detected by the enemies around them. Max even reminded himself and his friends to suppress their energy levels.
"Perfect guys. Am I a genius or what?" Max gloated. "All right. I see a group of Guardromon walking over towards a room. Let's go check it out."
"Right. Make sure not to get too hasty. If we even make one false move, they're going to get suspicious and I'd hate to be questioned by these rust buckets," said Kazemon.
"Don't worry. As long as we keep our ki down, we'll be safe," Keke reminded them. "You lead the way, genius."
"Uh, right. They went down the hall and towards the door on the left. Let's get going."
With that said, Max led his team down through the quiet hallway leading down towards a room. Max strolled inside within his Mekanorimon disguise and peeked at the room. He was overwhelmed by the heavily advanced technology the machines have produced.
"Wow, that have the state of the art technology. This sure beats the crap out of the stuff done by Bill Gates. Check this out you guys."
Keke and the warriors were just as astonished as Max was. The room was decorated with twenty-nine inch monitor screens hanging all over the walls and robotic soldiers working over station units. Sky robots were seen floating over the ceiling while seeking out any intruders. The disguises worked perfectly for Max's group. Not a single robot was able to pinpoint a ki signal from them.
"This is so good. They can't even detect our ki. Now we still have to be very cautious," Max reminded his group.
"Man, I wish I had robot servants. They can help do my chores," Beetlemon said.
"Same here," replied Kumamon.
"Get serious guys. We're not here to play around," whispered Loweemon. "Hey, look! It's… It can't be! It's Dynasmon!"
"What?! Dynasmon?!" the other legendary warriors exclaimed in unison. "But he's dead!"
The group turned to find Dynasmon standing above his seat while clamoring over the work rate of his cybernetic crew. Suddenly, a sky robot flew glided over towards him and sounded off an alert.
"General Dynasmon, the scanning procedure is underway. We are set to scan the humans we have managed to capture."
"Excellent. Put it on screen, Unit #008764. I need to see this for myself."
"Yes, sir!"
"Hey, they're going to show my dad and everyone else," Max whispered. "I can't believe they're going to scan them and put them in some sort of experiment."
"Let's stay calm and just watch. Maybe we'll have some clue to find this laboratory," replied Keke.
With that being said, the main monitor displayed a view of the laboratory room with the captives being placed into capsules. Max kept his eyes on the monitor and took a perfect glimpse of his father.
*****************************************************************************************
Main Laboratory Room
Crusadermon was standing by with a crew of Guardromon and other robotic soldiers. They witnessed the scanning procedures.
"Perfect. We will find out how much energy these humans and digimon can submit to Dr. Myuumon," Crusadermon said.
The first individuals to be scanned were Tai and Agumon. The computers were starting to pick up dangerously high energy signals from just Agumon alone. Tai also was producing a high amplitude of human energy. Crusadermon was taken back by the readings and was even more shocked when scanning was completed over Guilmon. It seemed as though Takato's partner was emitting the same amount of energy as Agumon. The royal knight digimon turns on a monitor and sends a distress signal to Dynasmon's mainframe.
Within a matter of moments, Dynasmon received the message from Crusadermon and replied to her distress signal. His face appears on the monitor screen.
"What is it, Colonel Crusadermon? Do you have a report on the scanning procedures?"
"Take a look for yourself. You will be astonished by what you will be reading. This is a signal coming from two of the digimon themselves and it seems the two boys are sharing this same energy. Are they linked to one another somehow?"
"Allow me to be the judge of that."
*****************************************************************************************
Dynasmon stares at the computer monitor and was reading the results from the scanning procedures. He looked over to the readings from Renamon and Gatomon. They had moderate power levels, though they could be hiding their full potential. On the other hand, Dynasmon was stunned after reading the results from Guilmon and Agumon.
"How… How is this possible? They're simply child level digimon. How can small bodies produce a massive surge of energy? It's almost as though they already contain the capabilities of a higher tier digimon."
"I'm just as surprised as you are," responded Colonel Crusadermon.
"Interesting, this will be perfect energy for Dr. Myuumon to use for his experiments."
"He's talking about Guilmon and Agumon," Max said in thought. "Keke. It's them all right. Did you get a good look at that laboratory on the monitor?"
"Yeah, I caught a glimpse of it. We should begin our search right away. Besides, I don't like the company in this room."
"You said it and this place smells like crap," Beetlemon responded. "Well then. Let's get the heck out of here."
"Hey! You six!" a robotic voice blurted out. "What are you doing here?!"
"Oh shit! We've been caught! They're onto us!" Kazemon panicked in thought. "Looks like we'll just have to dump these disguises."
"You six are supposed to be on hall patrol. There is no time to be slacking off. Get back to work," an Andromon ordered.
"Whew, that was a close one," Max muttered. "We would have been screwed if they find us inside these suits."
"No kidding," replied Kumamon. "We can't get captured at this point. We're so close to getting everyone out."
"Who knows we just might be sent to the laboratory during this hall patrol?" said Max. "Any who, we'll find my dad regardless."
The Guardromon patrol standing in line formation within the halls and this signified another patrol period for the Mekanorimon crew. Max and his group headed out towards the hallway to start their "patrol" so to speak; when in reality, they were heading down towards the laboratory room containing Tai and the others.
*****************************************************************************************
Back in the laboratory, the scanning procedures were nearly complete. Crusadermon wanted to double check to make sure that calculations were completely accurate. She seemed suspicious about the capabilities of Agumon and Guilmon. Were there child level digimon capable of producing strength to contend with higher-level beings? The computers seemed to agree and these results fascinated Dynasmon.
"Are the scanning procedures nearly complete?" Crusadermon asked a Guardromon.
"Yes. In only a few short moments, we will have the full results. Commander Nezimon, I take it that you're forces are dealing with the intruders outside our territory?"
Answering to Crusadermon's reply, a machine with red-gray armored suit came walking in. It's face is embedded with a blue lens and antennas at the side of it's head. This was Nezimon, the commander of the machine forces. He didn't look like much a threat, but even his appearance can be deceiving.
"Yes and they don't realize that new soldiers are simply remodeled through our super computers. These inferior low-level digimon cannot comprehend with our advanced technology. It will be a bitter sweet victory for us machines."
"Taking over this Digital World will be only be step one in our conquest to rule the entire Digital Universe."
"Yet these humans have made an unexpected appearance on this planet and it only intrigues the thought of conquering their own home planet."
"They come from a planet known as Earth. Machines were created by man, but machines will ironically enslave and replace the humans as the superior species."
Just then, the laboratory door opens up and in comes the six Mekanorimon patrollers. Crusadermon turned to face them with curiosity. Commander Nezimon steps in front of them.
"What are you doing here? You are supposed to be on hall patrol. Now get back to work."
"Sorry, but I don't even like to be hall monitor," Max blurted out within the suit.
"What is the meaning of this?! I thought you're guards were supposed to be obedient?!" Crusadermon said.
"Who even said we were guards in the first place?!" Keke spoke out. "Let's lose these crappy disguises, guys!"
With that said, the six infiltrators blasted their way through the suits. Crusadermon was caught by surprise as she caught glimpses of Max, Keke and the four remaining legendary warriors.
"It's you six! How used those suits to perfectly disguise yourself without being detected by our security spy robots!"
"How observant, pinky," Beetlemon said. "You're just as arrogant as the other Crusadermon we've dealt with."
"You better let my dad and friends go this instant or the results will be really ugly," Max threatened the machines. "We'll show you that a robot will always be a human's bitch."
"Such taunting words child, but do you think you even stand a chance. Even as we speak, you're comrades are tiring out against our forces outside the city," Crusadermon said. "I would best keep my mouth shut."
"They'll manage to hang in there. It's us you have to deal with," said Kazemon. "Let's kick things off guys!"
"Commander Nezimon, summon you're elite team and take care of these intruders. We must abort the scanning procedures and transport the humans directly to Dr. Myuumon."
"Yes, colonel."
Commander Nezi steps up towards the warriors as two ooze-like figures came sprouting from the ground. One figure turned out to be an overweight robot with a blue lens covering it's 'face' and massive arms. The other was simply a smaller version of this larger robot.
"I'm Bizumon, second Commander in waiting!" called the larger robot.
"And I'm Ribetmon!" the smaller one said.
"We're the Elite Team of Crusadermon's forces. If you want you're friends back, and then you will have to deal with us," said Nezimon.
"Ha. Even with the powers of the legendary warriors, you will not overcome my elite team," Crusadermon said. "Each of them are mega level. That's right. We produce only the best in the Digital Universe."
"Whoa, did you hear that? Each of them are mega level!" Kumamon said. "But if we work together, we'll take them."
"You said it, shorty. You'll need more than these bozos to knock us off our positions," Beetlemon said. "We don't defend the Digital World as a cheap way to earn cash…"
"Um, that's not what they'd like to hear about our reputation," Kazemon muttered.
"Frankly, I don't care if these ass clowns are mega level. I can take them," Max said.
"Make sure to leave me some," replied Keke.
"Now, my Elite Team! Attack and do not show any mercy towards these fools!" Crusadermon commanded.
"Yes, colonel!" the team exclaimed.
"Come on! We're ready for you!" said Max. "Spread out guys!"
Max and Keke charged Commander Nezi, but were caught off guard as the machine melted through the ground. The children were confused as to how the robot was able to melt it's own body through the metallic floor. Their questions were answered as Nezimon resurfaces from the ground behind them. The machine takes full advantage of their distraction and nails them from behind.
"Oh no! Kids!" Loweemon exclaimed. "Take this! Shadow Meteor!"
The warrior of darkness fires a blast and sends it towards Nezimon. Unfortunately, Nezimon melts through the floor and surprises even Loweemon. Kazemon flies up while dealing with Ribetmon. The tiny machine unit fires an array of laser shots, which Kazemon was able to dodge.
"Hurricane Wave!"
Ribetmon opens up a hatchet door on it's chest and lets loose a forceful wave from a running fan. The force from this fan pushes back the wave towards Kazemon. The warrior of wind was eventually caught in her own wind funnel. Loweemon turns and is met with a fist to the face by Nezimon.
Bizumon was having his way with both Beetlemon and Kumamon. Kumamon attempted to use his Blizzard Blaster, but Bizumon eventually cancels it out with laser shots from his visors. Beetlemon's thunder attacks were rendered useless as several spy robots sacrificed themselves to save Bizumon.
"You destroyed our spy robots. They were willing to sacrifice themselves for my sake. It's not as though they will be missed. They can be replaced."
"I hate how you machines refer to others as things. We're not things and I'm personally going to take you down!"
"Ha, I wouldn't talk so tough when you're the one on the losing end."
"It is as we have stated many times in the past. We machines will always be better than you flesh and blood types will. We never let our emotions get in the way. That is why we are destined to replace both the digimon and human race."
"So, there you have it. That's our plan in the nutshell. Now do you weaklings have anything left to say? If not then, I'm afraid you will have to die."
"I don't think so!" a voice blurted from out of nowhere.
The machine crew looked around to find the source of the voice. Max easily recognized this voice and turns to find his young father kicking off the capsule covering him. Following in suit, Agumon shot a blast from his mouth and escaped his capsule. Tai runs over and deactivates the other scanning procedures. One by one, each captive was set free. Agumon rushes over to Guilmon and revives him.
"Dad! Agumon! You guys are all right! Whew and here we thought you would never wake up," said Max.
"You robotic morons woke me up with you're senseless blabbering. We've had just about enough about this 'machines being better than humans. Blah. Blah.' Why don't you do us a favor and shove it?" Tai said.
"Besides, you don't decide whenever we live or die!" Takato replied.
"Such bold words coming from two big shots. I'll tell you what. How about you two along with you're digimon partners take this outside," Crusadermon said. "Commander Nezimon. You take you're team and finish off the rest of these so-called intruders."
"Yes, sir. They shouldn't be too difficult to handle. All right, men. This is it. We shall secure another victory for the machine empire!"
"I'm game," Tai said. "What do you say, Agumon?"
"You bet!"
"Guilmon, how about it?"
"Sure! I'm going to shut this big mouth up!"
"Max! You and Keke make sure that Kari and Rika are fine," Tai said. "I'm sure the others can handle the three stooges. Ready, Takato? It's just like old times."
"You're telling me."
Crusadermon flies out through the roof of the ceiling and lands on top to wait for her adversaries. Tai's courage symbol glows tremendously while Takato attempts to do one last test for his bio-mergence with Guilmon. To their sheer pleasure, Takato's D-Ark was going to enable him and Guilmon to merge this time for sure. Agumon was ensured another chance to digivolve into mega.
(Digimon evolution theme "Evolution" plays)
"Agumon warp shinka!"
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
"Guilmon warp shinka!"
Standing in place of the rookies were War Greymon and the bio-merged Gallantmon. Tai hops onto his partner's back as they flew off through the open hole in the ceiling as they faced off with Crusadermon.
Meanwhile, Max and Keke tended to the fallen Rika and Kari. Gatomon and Renamon regained their senses while figuring out where they have been held captive. Max had explained everything to them up until this point.
Crusadermon's elite team set off through the open hole roof. Kazemon carried Kumamon out through the roof. Loweemon and Beetlemon followed along afterward to do battle with the robotic trio.
"So, we were captured to be used as experiments?" Gatomon asked.
"We must get out of here right away," Renamon said. "Our friends will fend off the machines while we make our escape."
"Right and we know the way out," Max said. "Just follow us!"
(Theme ends)
*****************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Dynasmon had just witnessed the turn of events that had just occurred. He was quite anxious to see War Greymon in action. The readings from his Agumon form were off charts and he was quite curious to know how much his power level would increase in his mega form.
"This shall be interesting. Crusadermon better not let her guard down. I'm actually looking forward to seeing War Greymon display his full potential. Please don't disappoint me, because I wish to test out my full ability against you."
"Sir, we have been just informed that the other captives are escaping."
"No big deal. Even if they do manage to free Lady Moinanea, we will hunt them down. The digicores are the only possessions worth keeping and I have hidden them away. Trust me. They will come back looking for them."
"Of course."
"Now, just sit back and enjoy this show. Crusadermon is in action and she certainly won't disappoint."
"Yes, sire."
Dynasmon and his robotic guards looked on towards the monitor, as the battle was just about to ensue.
Crusadermon stood silently on a tall platform and pulls out a rose. Gallantmon and War Greymon stood their ground while facing off against the enemy. The mega level royal knight threw the rose aside and takes a battle stance.
"Fortunately for you, I am supposed to keep you alive for Dr. Myuumon's experiments. Other wise, I would have finished you off when I had the chance. So, who's going to make their first move? Will it be the knight or will it be you, War Greymon?"
"How about you take them both on?" Tai calls out. "You said that you were apart of a superior race. Let's see you prove you're worth!"
"You arrogant boy, how dare you! I'm going to shut that big mouth of yours. Fine, then. I shall take both of you morons at the same time. Bring it on. I don't have all day."
"You heard her guys. Give her what she wants," Tai stated. "You ready to smack some sense into this retarded moron?"
"I never you'd ever ask," Gallantmon replied through Takato's voice. "Let's do it, War Greymon."
"I'm right behind you!"
As soon as they finished their threats, Crusadermon was the first to blur out from the scene. The two megas soon followed in suit. Crusadermon is seen soaring up through the heavens and fires an array of energy shots. War Greymon dodges each blast along the way and puts out his Brave Shield to deflect the blasts. Gallantmon had the same idea by putting out his Hazard Shield.
"That's the way, guys! Keep your guards up! She's bound to leave herself wide open!"
"Heh, just like right now!" War Greymon calls out. "She has her guard down!"
With that said, War Greymon phases out and reappears behind Crusadermon. The brave warrior delivers a claw slash that skewed Crusadermon's right side. The royal knight decides to make a dive for the nearest platform to catch her breath. Unfortunately, Gallantmon jumps from out of nowhere and spears her down along the way.
"Damn! I didn't even see that one coming!" Crusadermon cursed. "They are excellent at hiding their ki, but is it really good enough in the long run?"
"Good job, you guys! Nevertheless, I wonder how you two were able to bio-merge so suddenly. You tried many times but I guess the laws of physics in this world rendered that useless. Until now that is, or maybe you just got lucky. Sometimes digivolving can be a hard concept to explain."
"I know what you mean, Tai."
Crusadermon crawls back onto her feet and shakes the cobwebs out, so to speak. War Greymon levitates next to Gallantmon. The two heroic digimon faced off against the royal knight for another round of action.
"Well, are you planning on continuing this fight or do we have to yet the fun so suddenly?" asked War Greymon.
"I don't plan on giving out so soon, stupid fool," said Crusadermon. "Unfortunately, for you, General Dynasmon is watching this battle as we speak and he seeks the opportunity to test his abilities against you. So you better put on a great show worthy for the general."
"Hey, are we going to stand around and look at each other all day? We have better places to be heading off to."
"Be silent, boy! I was merely regrouping. You digimon have put up such an effort. Even I am impressed with your tenacity. However, ask yourselves this: How long do you plan to drag this quarrel on? I would be more worried about you're comrades."
"We don't have to worry about them. They'll be just fine," said Tai. "You should worry about how much of an ass kicking you're about to receive."
"It's a pity. I was just about to let you leave this battle to join your friends, but you wish to continue. That's just fine. I was really hoping you would accept the offer to continue. Now, let's get down to business."
"It's time to get serious, guys. There's no telling what kind of tricks this punk has up her sleeves," Tai said. "Hear that, War Greymon?"
"I hear you."
"We'll end this fight way before she plans on using any dirty tricks."
"Good. God knows how long before Dynasmon shows his ugly mug here."
Crusadermon takes another battle stance and flies out towards the two megas. War Greymon and Gallantmon leaped to different sides. The royal knight puts out her palm and fires away another barrage of blasts. War Greymon puts out his shield once again and charges towards Crusadermon.
"Damn it! He's putting up a defensive shield! I have to somehow penetrate through their barriers."
"I wonder how everyone is holding out with those three stooges," Gallantmon said.
*****************************************************************************************
Things were practically not going well for the four remaining legendary warriors. They have been unable to exploit their full capabilities, due to the factor of sharing power from Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon.
"Man, this really sucks. We cannot even put a dent on these guys and they don't even look at all intimidating. How am I supposed to wake up every morning and remind myself that I just got my ass kicked by a midget robot," Beetlemon whined.
"It's better than beating yourself up. That's for sure," Kumamon said. "I've had it worse."
"Duh! You guys! We just have to evolve into our beast forms!" Kazemon said.
"You don't have to remind Kouichi that! Look!" exclaimed Beetlemon.
JagerLoweemon leaps out from a smoke cloud and charges Nezimon. The robotic commander attempted to put up a defense, but was overwhelmed by the dark beast. Ribetmon and Bizumon flew out to save their commander. Unfortunately, for them, the other three legendary warriors quickly took on their beast forms.
"Slide Evolution!"
"Metal Kabuterimon!"
"Zephrymon!"
"Korrikkaumon!"
Metal Kabuterimon shot Ribetmon back with a lightning sphere. Zephrymon appears in front of Bizumon and slams her fist through his lens. Korrikkakumon takes advantage of the two incapacitated robots and swings his massive axes at them.
The robots were quickly able to dodge the axe blows. The three legendary warriors had both Ribetmon and Bizumon surrounded. JagerLoweemon stood his ground while facing off with Commander Nezimon.
"They better have gotten out of there with Lady Moinanea right about now. I don't Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon and Wyveemon can hold out much longer," said JagerLoweemon.
"At this rate, we will be completely worn out," stated Metal Kabuterimon.
"Not unless War Greymon and Gallantmon make a difference," replied Zephrymon. "At least they're taking care one of the head officers of the army."
"It's time to put these amateurs to rest," Nezimon said. "Bizumon! Ribetmon! It's time to put our combined forces together as one! Then we will finish these fools off!"
"Something tells me that this isn't a good thing," said Korikkakumon.
"Yeah, you're telling me," Metal Kabuterimon muttered.
*****************************************************************************************
Back inside the headquarters, Max and Keke were running down the hallways. Rika and Kari were running along behind them with their digimon partners.
"We have to find Lady Moinanea and get the heck out of here," Max said. "My dad and Takato are handling the colonel."
"Though we still have to worry about General Dynasmon," Keke reminded the boy.
"Don't worry. I'm sure he's more focused on fighting my dad. There! I think I heard those guards mention a room with a captive being held. It has to be Lady Moinanea."
The boy sends out a blast that penetrates through the door. He flies off through the open hole door and finds a capsule containing the demigoddess.
"Lady Moinanea! We're here to get you out of here!"
"Max! Thank goodness you're safe. Have you saved everyone else?"
"Yeah. My dad and Takato are fighting Crusadermon as we speak. The others are taking care of the elite forces. We ought to be fine if we escape. Do you know where they hid the digicores?"
"I'm afraid not. Dynasmon was clear that he had them well hidden within this facility. In order to regain them, you will have to fight the general himself."
"We'll deal with him later. Besides, we have to get out of here," Keke said as she walked inside the room.
"Let's break her out of here," Max said. "I hate the company we have around here."
Max and Keke blast open the glass capsule. However, there was still the barrier that kept her intact.
"There's still a barrier we have to break," Max said. "Hey, Kek. Lay waste to that control panel next to the capsule."
"Right. That ought to shut down the barrier's power. Great thinking."
Keke blasts away at the control panel system and turns to see if the barrier was shut down. To their sheer delight, the barrier was instantly cut off and Lady Moinanea was able to sit up from her chamber.
"Oh, good. You just freed Lady Moinanea. Now let's get out of here," Kari said.
"Yeah! Keke and I know the way out of here. Follow our lead," the boy replied.
*****************************************************************************************
Outside of the machine city, Davis had finished witnessing a total slaughter with the digimon trio triumphant yet exhausted. The machines had taken Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon and Wyveemon to their limits.
"Geez, these bots sure don't run on batteries. I hope that's the last of them," Davis said.
"Just don't go jinxing us, Davis. We've had to put up with their crap," Wyveemon replied.
"I hope they got everyone out of there," Magna Garurumon.
Just then, Kaiser Greymon turns towards the city and felt a number of ki at every direction. He quickly recognized four of them belonging to their comrades.
"Yeah. They're free. They managed to get free Tai and Takato. Those two are taking on one of the head cheese of the machine empire."
"That's a good thing, Takuya. Let's lend them a hand."
"Not yet. We wait until Max and Keke get here with the others. We have to rest for a moment," Kaiser Greymon responded.
"Yeah, that would be best for our benefit. Well, let me know when they get here."
"We will."
*****************************************************************************************
The trio of Ribetmon, Bizumon and Nezimon were now merged into one robotic warrior with enhanced capabilities. The machine was now tall, massive with red armor completely covering it's body.
"Heh, allow us to introduce ourselves, legendary warriors. We are the combined force of Nezimon, Bizumon and Ribetmon. Simply call us Sigmamon."
(Sigmamon. Machine Mutant Digimon. Mega-Level. Special Abilities: Berserk Beam and Ki Deflection)
"Whoa, taking those three was bad enough, but this is ridiculous," said Metal Kabuterimon.
"Any bright ideas you guys? I'm not even sure we can take him in our beast forms," Korikkakumon said.
"No, we keep fighting until the very end. We're the heroes that defeated Lucemon. This creep knows nothing about our full capabilities," JagerLoweemon said.
"He's right. I'm not about to lie down for this creep," Zephrymon replied. "He can combine himself all he wants. It doesn't make up the fact that he's about to be beaten."
"You fellows are a lot stupid than I gave you credit for. You underestimate our combined force. Now you will pay. Berserk Beam!"
As soon as the machine fires a beam from his chest, the legendary warriors avoided it in anyway they could.
"That was close! Are you guys all right?!" JagerLoweemon asked.
"Try this one for size! Bolt of Thunder!" Metal Kabuterimon fires an electric blast towards the enmy.
"Ki Deflection!" Sigmamon cries out.
With that said, a barrier forms around Sigmamon and causes the bolt attack to be instantly bounced back towards Metal Kabuterimon. Zephrymon flies in front of her comrade and sends a Hurricane Hail to send the lighting attack towards the heavens.
"That was close, Zoe! Thanks!"
"Any time!"
"It would be a bad idea for us to unleash our attacks at once," Korikkakumon said. "He'll simply deflect them. Wait, why don't we combine our attacks?! It worked with Sakkoukumon!"
"It's worth a shot," replied Metal Kabuterimon. "Let's do it, Zephrymon!"
"I'll start things off! Hurricane Hail!"
"Bolt of Thunder!"
"Frozen Arrowheads!"
The three attacks managed to merge into one energy sphere. JagerLoweemon was astonished by the crew's brilliant strategy.
"Will this actually work?!" the warrior of darkness thought.
Sigmamon didn't think so and quickly summoned his Ki Deflection. Unfortunately, the combined force of the warriors' attacks was strong enough to push through the barrier. Even Sigmamon was caught off guard.
"What?! How is this possible?! My calculations did not detect that they can combine their attacks into one!"
As soon as the blast penetrated through his barrier, Sigmamon was sent soaring up and his body was completely vaporized. Nothing was left of the elite team but a rain of broken robotic parts and metal pieces.
"All right! We got him! I was kind of hoping for a decent challenge. He didn't seem all that much of a mega," said Metal Kabuterimon.
"It's better for him being wasted than to come back," said Zephrymon. "Come on! We have to get back with Takuya, Kouji and the others. They're bound to need our help."
"Yeah, plus Max and Keke said that they would meet us there. Let's move out!"
The legendary warriors moved out from the M-5 territory and back towards where the others will meet up with them. However, they were not aware that the debris left from the destroyed Sigmamon was starting to become absorbed by the metallic ground itself. It seems as though the city itself is a living cybernetic unit. This could explain the reason why new machines are produced nearly every minute.
*****************************************************************************************
Crusadermon felt Sigmamon's energy force fading away quickly and was growing concerned. The legendary warriors destroyed her elite team.
"My Elite Team has been destroyed. I shouldn't have underestimated these children. Ugh, no matter… I have a better idea of what these two are capable of. It looks like I will need Dynasmon's help after all. I hate to admit it, but these digimon are stronger than I gave them credit for."
"So, what's it going to be, Crusadermon? Are you just going to idle around like an idiot or are we going to continue this quarrel?" asked War Greymon.
"Sorry boys, but I have a little insurance policy. You two don't go anywhere. I will be back."
As soon as she said that, Crusadermon instantly vanishes out of sight and leaves the two megas to question her motives. Tai was surely bummed about the enemy retreating at the last minute.
"What the hell was that for?! I was hoping she would stay and fight!"
"We'll worry about her later, Tai. We have to regroup and meet back with the others," said Gallantmon.
"Right. I'm positive Max got everyone out of there in the nick of time. Something tells me that Crusadermon is bringing out the big guns."
*****************************************************************************************
M-5 Main Headquarters.
Crusadermon walks through the main doorway and awaits the presence of Dynasmon. She turned and felt an overwhelming ki walking her direction. Yes, it was Dynasmon and he was fuming.
"So, those blasted humans managed to rescue Lady Moinanea and have destroyed our elite team. No matter. We shall pay them back dearly for this."
"Yes, general."
"Yes and I'll finally have my chance to test out my full abilities against War Greymon. Be warned humans. I'm coming for you."
The mega level pair powered up with auras surrounding their bodies and they set off towards the location where the Digi-Destined have settled it. It would only be a matter of time before Dynasmon would have a chance to battle War Greymon.
"Damn humans! You are all going to pay dearly for making fools out of the M-5's elite!" Dynasmon cursed in thought.
*****************************************************************************************
War Greymon and Gallantmon were heading back towards the area where their friends were settling in. Tai noticed War Greymon feeling a little cautious and turned around to find two flashes of light.
"What is it, War Greymon?"
"It's Crusadermon and she's brought the big bad general. We have to hurry over and warn everyone."
"Right. Let's pump to it guys!"
With Crusadermon's elite team defeated, our heroes have managed to rescue their captive friends from the machine forces. Unfortunately, Crusadermon has brought along Dynasmon. Can they hold off the brute force of the colonel and the general? Will War Greymon be the one challenge that Dynasmon has been seeking or will Omega X come into play?

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
Dynasmon vs. Omega X?! The Secret Behind the M-5 Machine City?!
Tai noticed War Greymon feeling a little cautious and turned around to find two flashes of light.
"What is it, War Greymon?"
"It's Crusadermon and she's brought the big bad general. We have to hurry over and warn everyone."
"Right. Let's pump to it guys!"
*********************************************************************
Outside of the M-5 Machine City
Max, Keke, Kari, Rika and Lady Moinanea were fortunate to escape the city without being caught by any of the robotic guards. Angewomon and Kyuubimon made certain that no enemies would attempt a sneak attack. As soon as they fled into the forests, they had stumbled upon a space ship. This was the same carrier, which Tai and the others used. Kari runs over and examines the damage that had been laid on the ship.
"It's our ship! I can't believe it's been here this whole time!" she exclaimed in surprise. "Are you sure this is the same forest we've landed before?"
"Yeah, I think. These forests look too similar. I can't even tell the difference. I'm sure this is where we first landed," Max said.
"Are the enemies approaching us?!" Keke said.
"No, I can't even feel any ki out," the boy replied. "However, let's best be on our guard."
Suddenly, the digimon stopped for a moment and turned towards an opposite direction. They had picked up a group of massive kis making their way through the brushes. Everyone took up defensive guards as the unknown source was heading down their direction.
"Is it friend or foe?!" Rika asked.
"I can't tell," Kyuubimon said. "Wait… There's no need to be alarmed…"
"Hey! Are you guys there?!" a voice similar to Kaiser Greymon calls out. "Hey! It's us!"
"It's Takuya!" Max said. "We're in here, guys! We found the spaceship!"
"That's good to know! Are Tai and Takato there with you yet?" Magna Garurumon asked.
"No. We're sure that they are still in the city," said Kari. "How about Zoe and the others?"
"We haven't heard anything yet," Davis said as he came walking through the brushes. "It's a good thing you guys escaped. Man, you should have seen these three lay it to those tin cans."
"There he goes again," Max muttered. "I hope dad gets here soon. This day has really been nerve wrecking. Not that I have any problem smashing through those robot rejects."
"Hey! Look! I see them!" Angewomon calls out. "Tai and Takato have arrived!"
"Ah, are you sure that it's my dad?!" Max asked. "That must mean that he and Takato beat Crusadermon and her stooges!"
"Pretty obvious don't you think, Sherlock?" Keke said in reply.
As soon as everyone scattered away, this left wide-spaced room for Gallantmon and War Greymon to make their proper landing. Tai jumps off his respective partner and runs over to reunite with his friends.
"Dad! I knew you would get out of there," Max said. "So, did you and Takato actually beat them?"
"You guys. We don't have anytime to spare," said War Greymon. "Crusadermon managed to flee but we escaped to get you all away from harm. Unfortunately, it looks as though Crusadermon is bringing out the lead general of the machine army."
"Great, now we have the big fight in our hands," Davis muttered. "Don't worry. I'm sure Wyveemon can take him."
"No offense, Davis, but this general has an overwhelming ki," Gallantmon said. "This power would easily tear apart Wyveemon."
"Well, that's crap," Davis said. "Looks like we'll need Imperialdramon then."
"That is why we're telling you guys to get away from here!" Tai said. "Let's get out of here before Crusadermon gets here with the general. Takato and I will take them from here."
"You'll need our help," Kaiser Greymon said. "After all, we've fought a Crusadermon before."
"The big general you're speaking of is Dynasmon," Lady Moinanea replied.
"What? So that's the general's identity?" Tai asked. "Takuya, I'm curious. Have you dealt with a Dynasmon before?"
"Yeah that and a Crusadermon. Those two were a pain in the ass," replied Kaiser Greymon. "If past experience tells me anything, these upgraded models make their counterparts look like no talents."
"So, we're dealing with supped-up megas in our hands. Cool, we'll take it from here," Tai assured the group.
"Are you crazy?! These two aren't going to be easy," Magna Garurumon stated.
"Whoever said this mission was going to be easy?" Max said. "Besides, my dad's partner is a pretty strong digimon and he's dealt with tougher creeps in the past."
"Let's not get carried away, Max. We still have no clue about their maximum power," Keke said. "So we don't know if War Greymon *AND* Gallantmon have a chance."
"By the way, where are Zoe, JP and the others?" Tai asked. "They should have at least arrived here any minute by now."
Suddenly, their questions were answered as JagerLoweemon slashed his way through the thick brushes. Following him were the other three legendary warriors. Tai and the others were relieved to know that everyone has reunited together in hopes of escaping.
"Sorry we're late guys," Beetlemon said. "We had a run-in with Crusadermon's stooges. We've already taken care of that problem."
"What is this strong ki that I've been sensing? It's pretty strong considering that it is from a cybernetic life form," JagerLoweemon said.
"It's the machines' general. He's obviously pissed off. We don't have anytime to waste. Let's get out of here!" Tai said.
However, just as everyone was starting to move out from the forest area, the digimon felt an enormous energy signal coming from the heavens. War Greymon looks up and detects the source of the large kis. Yes, it was Crusadermon and Dynasmon. The digimon put up their defenses while the humans stayed close behind. Even Lady Moinanea hid behind the digimon to prevent herself from being exposed to the enemy.
"They still have possession of the four black digital cores," the demigoddess thought. "If only we can infiltrate their headquarters again."
"There he is, dad! That guy in the white armor is Dynasmon," said Max. "He still has our digicores!"
"Is that right?" Tai said with a smile. "I think this will be interesting. War Greymon, you up for a fight?"
"C'mon, Tai. You know me better than that."
"Takuya? You thinking what I'm thinking?" Magna Garurumon asked.
"You bet I do."
The strongest of the group took up their guards as the two leading machine leaders landed with a levitation technique. Angewomon and Kari were quickly having a debate on whether or not to fuse into Mystic Celesta.
"You think we should use Mystic Celesta for this fight?" Kari asked.
"It would definitely suite our needs. Besides, these monsters will simply waste me in this form," Angewomon replied. "Let us wait until the right opportunity presents itself."
Crusadermon stepped forward and places out a hand before the group. She then directs her attention to Dynasmon and snaps her fingers.
"Humans and digimon. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. I'm sure you know me personally by now. However, allow me to introduce to you: the lead general of the M-5 forces. He is Dynasmon and this will be the last time you'll ever get an opportunity to meet him. That is because you will all die before the day is through. Normally, he would never leave his station, so call this a special opportunity. Dynasmon is personally impressed with your tenacity. He is greatly interested with you mostly, War Greymon."
"Me? Heh, I guess he made the right choice for an opponent."
"Yes," spoke the general. "Out of all these batch of weaklings, this War Greymon is a challenge that has presented itself. Tell me, do you think you have what it takes to go toe to toe with myself?"
"I guess we'll just have to see when you and him get it on," Tai said. "Besides, I think War Greymon could use the good exercise. He hasn't had a good fight since the D-Reaper fiasco."
"If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't these guys be a little stronger than the D-Reaper ever was?" Gallantmon asked.
"I doubt it, but Dynasmon will definitely be a worthy opponent," said Tai.
"Wait a second! Don't you guys realize that this ass still has our digicores?!" Max cries out. "We still have to retrieve them!"
"We know that Max, which is why we want you to go back and get them," said Tai.
"That means everyone of us?" Davis asked.
"Yeah, but we'll need Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon. Everyone else go back to the headquarters and grab those digicores," War Greymon instructed. "They are essential to us."
"Yes, let us not waste anymore time," said Lady Moinanea. "I'll lead the way."
Dynasmon turns his attention over towards the demi-goddess and grins. He watches as she leads the others out through the forest. Max quickly turns and feels out Dynasmon's ki. It looks as though the general was set to attack Lady Moinanea unknowingly.
"I don't think so, asshole!"
With that said, Max flies out and directs a flying kick to Dynasmon's face. The force from the kick brings Dynasmon down to the ground. This managed to catch everyone including Tai by complete surprise. The boy was able to bring down a massive titan in a matter of seconds. Max walks off while dusting off his hands.
"That takes care of him. Now let's go grab those digicores guys," said Max.
"Heh. Was that the best you've got?" Dynasmon calls out. "If it was, then you're in big trouble."
"Shit, don't tell me…"
As soon as Max cursed to himself, he turns around to see Dynasmon standing on his feet. The machine mutant digimon popped his neck with little effort and put on another nonchalant grin.
"Max! Get out of here! You'll only get in the way!" Tai cries out.
"It's too late for that I'm afraid," Crusadermon said. "Dynasmon has a special technique that will catch you off guard. Care to demonstrate, general?"
"With pleasure. This one's reserved for you, kid!"
Dynasmon quickly charges up and widens his mouth open. An emerald, green blast came shooting out from the general's mouth as he directed it towards Max. The boy was unable to make a single move while he was in a state of shock. Suddenly, Kari and Angewomon threw themselves out in front of Max.
"Aunt Kari! Angewomon!" Max cries out.
"Max! Get back!" the adult orders. "Go with the others and snatch those digicores!"
"But…"
"Just do it!"
Max simply nods and catches up with Davis, Wyveemon and everyone else from the area. Dynasmon immediately directs his aim towards the group and blasts Lady Moinanea.
"No! Lady Moinanea!" Tai calls out.
"They've been turned into steel!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "Damn, we better watch our backs then. I'm not about to become someone's lawn decoration."
The three victims became encased in metallic shells. Now there were metallic statues of Kari, Angewomon and Lady Moinanea. Max managed to catch up with everyone else. They headed back towards the city in order to retrieve the four digicores. Dynasmon paid no heed attention to the fleers and faced the four remaining digimon warriors. War Greymon, Magna Garurumon, Kaiser Greymon and Gallantmon faced off with the two lead machine mutants.
"Now that the area has been cleared, we can fight to our hearts content," Dynasmon said. "It's a pleasure to finally escape years of non activity. War Greymon, you shall push me to my limits. By my request, I ask to deal with War Greymon myself. Crusadermon, you are to take these other three cretins."
"As by your request, General Dynasmon. I'll deliver you their heads when I'm done."
"So it's a three on one, huh?" Kaiser Greymon asked. "Trust me. You're not going to like your chances. I mean you're fighting the three of us. What chance in hell do you have?"
"Let's just say that I won't be holding back," Crusadermon said. "Gallantmon, I presume? I only feigned weakness to test your limits. Unfortunately, you will have to deal with me at my maximum. Are you ready?"
"Ready to kick your ass? You bet I am. You're simply bluffing. Tai! You and War Greymon take care of their ringleader! We should take this cocky turd."
"Ok, Takato! Remember, don't hold back!" Tai exclaimed. "All right, Dynasmon. You ready to settle this?"
"Yes, let this battle finally commence, War Greymon. I've been waiting-"
"Yeah, yeah. We heard you rant on," Tai said. "That's enough bullshit, Dynasmon. Let's just get this over with."
"Ok, then. That's more like it."
"But first, let's get these lawn ornaments out of our way," Crusadermon said.
Within a matter of moments, the metallic statues were quickly being transported away from the area. This managed to catch the heroes off guard. Tai turned to face Crusadermon with an angry glare.
"Where did you just send them?!"
"You see that tower looming over the city? That would be the headquarters. They were to be delivered to Dr. Myuumon as we speak. I'm sure you're friends will save them before they are even deployed, but will they have enough time?"
"Bastards. Just for that, we're taking you out!" Tai muttered. "War Greymon, only one piece of advice… watch out for his beams."
"Don't worry. He won't even get a chance to turn me into metal."
"Oh no? Think fast, War Greymon!"
With that said, Dynasmon fires another mouth blast and sends it towards War Greymon. The mega-level warrior leaps away and pushes Tai to the side. The blast collides with the forest and quickly transforms it into a lifeless, lead-shelled landscape. Tai was wide-eyed at the result of the blast.
"Whew, that was a close one, buddy."
"Are you all right, Tai?"
"Heh. I've never been better. Hey, Dynasmon! That was pretty cheap! I thought you were ready to have a little one on one?"
"I was merely testing you're reaction to the blast. War Greymon was fortunate enough to dodge. Now, bring me everything you've got!"
"Tai! Find some shelter. I'll handle this."
"Be careful, War Greymon!"
Dynasmon takes a battle stance while facing off against War Greymon. Suddenly, their bodies were emitting bright auras and it indicted that their ki was overflowing at extraordinary rates.
The same could be said for the trio facing off with Crusadermon. Gallantmon made his first direct attack and slashed at Crusadermon with his lance. Crusadermon leaps up and is meet by an array of sword slashes by Kaiser Greymon.
"What's the matter? Are you surprised? You should be," Kaiser Greymon said.
"I never really expected you to take this seriously. I'm glad you are. Now attack me at once!"
"Sorry, but that isn't going to happen," Magna Garurumon cries out. "Turn around."
Crusadermon quickly turns and is met with a fist from Magna Garurumon. Fortunately, Crusadermon evaded to the side and nails him with her arm shield. Kaiser Greymon points his sword blade directly towards the rose armored warrior. The sword began to emit a bright glow and shoots out a massive arrow-like blast.
"Dragonfire Crossbow!"
Crusadermon turns around and is quickly met with the blast. The force sends Crusadermon plummeting down towards the ground. Kaiser Greymon levitates down and prepares to unleash another devastating attack. However, Gallantmon steps in his way and directs his shield in position. He makes a perfect aim directly for Crusadermon.
"I was going to finish her off," Kaiser Greymon said.
"I'm going to end this one quick. Besides, she's been ticking me off," Gallantmon replied. "This one's reserved especially for you… Shield of the-"
The rose armored warrior slowly rose to her feet and turned around to face a devastating blast. The warrior quickly puts up her guard and catches the it head on.
"JUST!"
"You possibly think this will stop me?! Do you honestly think you can stop me with this?!"
"Just try me!"
Gallantmon gives his blast an essential blast and manages to overpower Crusadermon. The blast sends Crusadermon cruising through the forest. This resulted in a massive explosion that destroys nearly half of the entire forest landscape. Tai quickly sought shelter and jumps down into a deep pit to avoid being incinerated by the heavy debris.
"Whoa, you got her," Kaiser Greymon said in utter shock. "Ok, you can take care of the rest of them yourself."
"But I wonder if I really did her in," Gallantmon muttered. "Wait, I still can feel her ki. She's far from dead."
"Look! I can't believe this!" Magna Garurumon cries out. "She's alive, but it did plenty of damage to her!"
The trio looks down to find Crusadermon rising from the debris with her armored body heavily scratched. The warrior looks up and starts to tense up.
"I must admit you caught me off guard. However, it's going to take a lot more than that to do me in."
"Any other bright ideas?" the mega dup asked the exalted knight.
"None. All I can say is to keep attacking and make sure to finish her right away. I wonder how everyone else is holding up and if War Greymon needs any help."
*********************************************************************
M-5 Main Headquarters
Upon their arrival, Davis led the team through the main hallways while the digimon managed to dispatch the guards. Max helped Davis to lead them through the confusing pathways, since Davis never had the chance to enter the headquarters.
"So, you know where those digicores could possibly be hidden?" Davis asked.
"Sure, we should be able to stumble upon the control room. I overheard Dynasmon saying that he hid the digicores. I'm not so sure where he hid them."
"Wait a second!" Keke cries out. "I just thought of something…"
"What's wrong, Keke?" Kazemon asked.
"What if the digicores aren't here? I mean, Dynasmon could have transported them in another facility. He wouldn't be that stupid to leave the digicores here."
"That's some smart thinking," Rika commented. "If that's the case, then it's pointless to even come back here."
"It would be wise to check every part of this main facility first," Kyuubimon replied.
"We can all split up into groups and take different routes," Kumamon said. "Besides, our search will go along much faster."
"I agree," Loweemon said. "Remember to watch your backs. These tin heads can be a pain."
"Right! Let's just hope your wrong, Keke," Max said. "Besides, I don't want to drag this on too long. My dad and the others might be having trouble with Crusadermon and Dynasmon. I won't rest until we retrieve those digicores."
*********************************************************************
Outside on the Battlegrounds
Dynasmon is sent plummeting across the heavens as he was sent back by a massive ki blast. The machine mutant powers out and dissipates the blast with a single claw swipe. Tai looks on from below the forest canopy and cheers War Greymon on.
War Greymon dives towards Dynasmon with his claws ready to strike the villain. Dynasmon saw an open opportunity and takes advantage of War Greymon's carelessness. His chest opens up and releases a missile that managed to knock back War Greymon. Since this was a non-ki based attack, War Greymon was unable to detect it and was caught off guard.
"Hey, now that was cheap!" Tai calls out. "So much for the honor code. If this had been a WWE match, I'd disqualify his ass. Don't let your guard down, War Greymon!"
"That was low of you, Dynasmon. Why don't you put aside these underhanded tricks?" War Greymon asked.
"With pleasure, I do so apologize," Dynasmon chuckled. "Not! Look behind you!"
"What?!"
War Greymon instantly turns around and is quickly caught by a grappling rope. The rope wraps itself completely around War Greymon. Dynasmon flew over and lassos War Greymon towards him.
"How does that feel, War Greymon? Have I impressed you enough?!"
Dynasmon grabs War Greymon and quickly applies a tightening bear hug on the mega. Tai attempts to get his partner back into the fight with encouragement, which certainly won't help War Greymon at this moment.
"Give it up, cretin! You'll never be a match for the supreme machine mutant! Me! Dynasmon! I've fought in countless battles and I will not be done in by an inferior digimon! Dr. Myuumon has created me to be the best there ever was!"
"Is that so? Well, I'm… afraid you can't be number one anymore… You're looking at the new top digimon in this side of the universe… By the way, your guard is slightly down…"
War Greymon takes advantage of the situation and started firing away an array of ki blasts into Dynasmon's chest at close range. Dynasmon released his grip on War Greymon and took the blasts. The courage-bound warrior kept his attack on the villain without any hesitation.
"Can you dig that, sucka?!" War Greymon cries out.
Dynasmon cries out with tremendous pain as the blasts continued to hammer at his chest. War Greymon takes advantage and tosses a massive ki ball. He hurls it towards Dynasmon and watches it as collides with him.
Within a second, there was a massive explosion that caused the heavens to tremble. This essentially caught everyone else off guard. Crusadermon watched as a billowing smoke cloud was looming over the horizon. She felt nervous that the general had been done in by the blast.
"General Dynasmon!"
"Hey, can you feel that?" asked Magna Garurumon.
"Yeah, he hasn't been done in," replied Gallantmon. "War Greymon is going to have to take it to the next level after all."
"You mean Omega X, right?" Kaiser Greymon said.
"You bet. Then we'll have a fight in our hands. Those two are simply toying with one another."
"What?! They were just playing?!" the duo asked in unison.
As soon as the billowing dissipated, Crusadermon sighed with relief. Dynasmon was completely unscathed from the blast and had a smirk on his face. War Greymon simply chuckled to himself.
"Don't tell me that was your best shot, War Greymon."
"Nah, I was merely playing with you. That was far from my best shot. If you would like me to, I can turn it up a notch."
"With all means, be my guest."
The two megas faced each other off as they both completely phased out and continued their ongoing battle. It would determine the better of the two and which of the two will eventually claim victory. It seemed to be an evenly fought contest for the time being, but all of that could change…
*********************************************************************
Elsewhere within the city
There was a massive sphere covered with huge conduit dark domes with a black tower designed to look like a demonic monster. It has an array of skyscraper-sized teeth with a gigantic hole inside. There was some activity occurring in this area because an array of light came illuminating through the top surface.
Inside, there was a laboratory dimmed with very little lighting and there were a row of capsules gathered in one section. Suddenly, a man came walking out and revealed himself from the darkness. The man's skin was completely light blue. He was wearing a blue suit. He also wore yellow pants streaked with black stripes, and a pair of red shoes. There was massive orange padding on each of his shoulders. He wore something over his eyes, which looked like a pair of black shades. There was an odd-looking orange hat that managed cover a streak of long, orange hair coming down the back of his head. There was an orange mustache that came down at each end. This was none other than the mastermind/brilliant scientist of the M-5 Machine empire: Dr. Myuumon.
The mad scientist walks over towards the capsules with curiosity. He was examining the metallic statues of Kari, Angewomon and Lady Moinanea. A twisted smile overcomes his wrinkled face and he spoke in a voice with a Germanic accent to it.
"Ah, excellent. General Dynasmon has successfully brought me some subjects for my experiment. What's this?"
He quickly caught a glimpse of Lady Moinanea and he busted out in maniacal laughter.
"Perfect! This is just perfect! I now have Lady Moinanea in my custody! How does it feel, my lady? Do you like your new home? It will be an honor to use you in my new experiments. Yes, you will supply enough infinite energy for my latest experiment! I'll extract what I will need from you. Dynasmon must capture every last one of those fools. I will not be held back due to minor setbacks. How are Dynasmon and Crusadermon holding it up with the intruders, Unit #12808?"
A Guardromon turns around and replies to Dr. Myuumon's question.
"They are still fighting."
"Are the digicores well hidden?"
"Yes, they are in the main facility's laboratory, doctor."
"Excellent. Let's hope they finish these meddling fools off quickly before the day is through. After all, I will not let any minor setbacks deter with my latest experiments. We must compete it as soon as possible. Oh, Lady Moinanea. Just watch as your heroes of justice fall before my machine mutants. Your planet will be mine and I'll become ruler of this side of the digital universe! Ha!"
*********************************************************************
Back on the battlefield and away from Myuumon's base
War Greymon was still firing away massive ki blasts towards Dynasmon's direction. Meanwhile, Crusadermon was holding off the trio. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon deliver a double clothesline to take Crusadermon down. Gallantmon takes advantage and executes a sword slash at Crusadermon's armor.
Dynasmon lands down and continues to evade each blast. War Greymon continued his assault and direct another blast towards a volcanic wall.
"You missed you fool! What were you aiming for?"
"Um, I'd look up if I were you, pal," Tai calls out.
With that said, Dynasmon turns around and watches as the volcanic walls started to tear loose. He cries out as the debris fell on him. Dynasmon's anger escalades while powering his way through the fallen debris and blasts every trace of volcanic rock. Just as he was going to attack his adversary, Dynasmon realized that War Greymon had disappeared.
"Where did you go coward?! Show yourself!"
Suddenly, Dynasmon felt an ever-increasing ki and turns around to find a source of light plummeting towards him from the heavens.
"TERRA BEAM!"
"SHIMATTA!"* (Kanius: Probably means "Oh crap!")
The atomic-like blast penetrates down upon Dynasmon and creates a massive explosion that shook the earth. The result of the blast created a city-sized crater where the mountain valley once laid dormant. War Greymon lands down and looks down at a hole where Tai was well hidden.
"You okay, Tai?"
"Uh, never been better buddy. Just one thing… Next time, remind me when your going off the handle like that!"
"Heh, sorry about that."
Crusadermon could only look on with shock… no beyond make that beyond shocked. If she had eyes, they would have bulged out from her eye sockets. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon were simply astonished by the mega's extraordinary power.
"My god. War Greymon is strong!" Magna Garurumon said. "He'd definitely would have helped us against Lucemon."
"I wonder if that did the big bad general in?" Kaiser Greymon pondered.
Unfortunately, his wishes did not come true as Gallantmon found Dynasmon levitating behind War Greymon. The machine mutant DID receive superficial damage and that only raised War Greymon's confidence to a whole new level.
"Looks like you spoke too soon, Takuya," Gallantmon muttered.
"Damn! I should stop doing that! I've already jinxed him!"
"C'mon, War Greymon. This isn't even the true maximum of your power. Why are you staling?" Gallantmon questioned the mega's motives.
War Greymon turns around and faces off with the semi-damaged Dynasmon. The machine mutant trembled with anger, but the courageous warrior retained that same confident smirk.
"You were only lucky to dodge that full blast. Next time, you won't be so lucky."
"Is that a fact?" Dynasmon asked.
Suddenly, a smirk was written all over Dynasmon's face as he gives a nod to Crusadermon.
"Ah, I see. So he wants us to combine. Well, I've got to run, fellows. The general has asked for my assistance! Ta-ta!"
"Hey! Get back here!" Gallantmon calls out. "After her, you guys!"
"You're not getting away that easily! We still haven't given you the proper ass kicking," Kaiser Greymon spoke.
As soon as War Greymon and Dynasmon levitate onto the ground below, a pair of hands emerged through the ground below and grabbed War Greymon's feet. Suddenly, a pair of mercury-liquid based beings emerges out from the ground and materializes all around War Greymon. The figures quickly transform and take the forms of Nezimon, Ribetmon and Bizumon.
"What the hell?! I thought Zoe and the guys took care of those ass clowns!" Magna Garurumon exclaimed.
"Oh crap! C'mon, War Greymon! You've got to pull through! Well, it looks like we'll have to take it to the next level!"
As soon as Tai said that, his chest started to emit a bright, orange aura that engulfed his entire body. Crusadermon lands next to Dynasmon as they began to taunt War Greymon.
"There's no escape for you cretin," Dynasmon spoke. "We have you trapped like a rodent."
"So, are we ready to surrender?" asked Crusadermon.
Just then, they heard a slight chuckle from under War Greymon's lips. The duo questioned the mega's confident gesture.
"So, you think death is funny?" Dynasmon asked.
"Either that or he's completely lost his sanity," Crusadermon commented.
"Heh, neither. Because you two are in for a surprise. FUSION EVOLVE!"
As soon as War Greymon said that, Tai was instantly pulled in towards War Greymon. Like two magnetic forces, they collide and were pulled into each other. Their bodies merged into one single being and this combined force was enough to destroy the robot henchmen. Dynasmon and Crusadermon were all sent flying backwards. The transformation caused a massive parking lot-sized crater to form under the earth. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon watched as a bright, golden aura engulfed the newly evolved warrior. This is the first time Omega X made his appearance since the showdown with Lady Moinanea's dragon form nearly destroyed Flame Terminal.
"So, this it it?! This is the digital fusion I've been hearing stories about. Yes, this is the warrior that destroyed Burizalor years ago!" Dynasmon exclaimed.
"Unbelievable! Who would have thought that we would be battling a living legend?" Crusadermon wondered.
"Heh. Yes, I am a living legend," Omega X spoke.
"Interesting. I can see it now. You've only been using half of your power by now, right?" Dynasmon asked. "Am I right?"
"Yeah and the same can be said for you."
"You're right. Crusadermon. Shall we demonstrate?"
"Ah, but of course. I never thought we'd combine again," said Crusadermon. "This will be the end of the legend!"
"That's right, guys. Bring it on," Omega X said in thought.
Within a matter of moments, Crusadermon and Dynasmon stood side by side. They chanted an unknown robotic chant in sync and merged together. Crusadermon's split nearly in half and compressed deeply into Dynasmon's upper shoulders. There were stiff, short wings coming off Dynasmon's back. Crusadermon's yellow shield came sliding off and Dynasmon held it tightly in his left hand. Then, a green, laser sword materialized in his right hand. Omega X was impressed with their last minute transformation.
"Heh! So, how do you like our combination form? You can now call us RhodoDynasmon," the newly transformed being spoke under Dynasmon's voice.
"Not bad. Your power has taken a high increase. This is will be quite a fight," replied Omega X.
Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon and Gallantmon could only look on with great interest. Gallantmon was astonished as to how much power both warriors have gained.
"Wow, I never thought Omega X would maintain this much power over these past few years. Dynasmon and Crusadermon's combined form also has a strong ki. Either one of them could easily take us apart right now. So we'll leave this to Omega X. Damn, you've really outdone yourself, Tai."
"I'll say! I'm getting a strong reading from those two. Yeah, we'll leave it to Tai," replied Kaiser Greymon.
"But I wonder if the others have managed to find those digicores. We ought to go and warn them about Lady Moinanea," said Magna Garurumon.
"Not to mention Kari and Angewomon. They have no idea that Dynasmon transported them to the main headquarters," replied Gallantmon. "You two go to the city and warn them. I'll still here just in case Tai needs my help."
"Ok, you call us when things get ugly," Kaiser Greymon said. "Ready, Magna Garurumon?"
"Yeah."
The duo took off towards the M-5 city. Gallantmon stayed within the sky limits to watch Omega X face off with the ever powerful, RhodoDynasmon. The two warriors were sporting confident smirks just as they were prepared to tear each other apart.
*********************************************************************
M-5 Machine Main Headquarters
The legendary warriors were still roaming the hallways while searching for the digicores. They had no luck finding them and were forced to deal with a large number of robotic guards. As a matter of fact, no one else was fortunate to locate the digicores. It looks as though they will have to look into another facility.
"Damn! This is getting us nowhere!" Beetlemon cursed while running. "Wherever those digicores are, they're not in this place."
"Well, Dynasmon did have them in his possession. He wouldn't be that stupid to just leave them behind," said Kazemon.
"Yeah, that makes sense," replied Kumamon.
As soon as they were running towards the entrance hall, they stopped as two tall figures blasted through the walls. The warriors stood their ground and prepared to face off against their new opposition. However, they quickly sighed relief when Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon came walking through the smoke.
"Hey! It's just us!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Whew! You scared the begeebus out of us!" Beetlemon exclaimed.
"Did you find the digicores?" asked Magna Garurumon.
"No, we couldn't find them. I don't think we'll even find them in this facility," stated Loweemon. "If anything, we'll have to look through every building in the city."
"Yeah, which might take us a thousand years," Kaiser Greymon commented. "Where are the others?"
"I assume they're still looking for the digital cores," replied Kazemon. "I say we find them before the machine squads start popping out."
"Before we go, we came to warn you that Kari, Angewomon and Lady Moinanea were transported back in the city after being turned to steel," Magna Garurumon said. "First, we must go and tell Max about this. Then, we'll find our friends. Tai and Takato are fighting Crusadermon and Dynasmon as we speak."
"So with those two being distracted, we'll have enough time to find the others," Kazemon said. "Sounds good. Ok, let's move it!"
"Right!" the others exclaimed in unison.
With that said, the warriors scattered out to locate the whereabouts of Max, Keke, Rika and Renamon. After that, we would then look for their captive allies and regain possession of the digicores.
*********************************************************************
Back to the Battlefield outside of the city
The fight waged on between Omega X and RhodoDynasmon. They attacked one another and were nothing more than flashes of lights sailing across the heavens. Gallantmon was barely able to keep up with them. He was forced to turn all directions.
"I can't even keep up with their movements! I really doubt glasses will help me to see them at all. Hang in there, Tai. I'm here whenever you need me."
Suddenly, there was a massive shockwave that rumbled throughout the heavens. Omega X is shown plummeting towards the earth below. Meanwhile, RhodoDynasmon was diving down towards the warrior and fired away numerous mouth blasts. Omega X managed to regain his senses and evaded each blast. If any of those shots had made contact with Omega X, he would have surely been turned into metal. Omega X flies up towards RhodoDynasmon and delivers a painful knee to his gut. RhodoDynasmon cried out with tremendous pain and winced from the knee shot. Omega X pulls his knee away and nails a fist to the enemy's face. RhodoDynasmon's face makes contact with his fist and is sent soaring up.
"That ought to knock some sense into ya," Omega X said. "Whew, this guy's skin is tough. My fists are starting to throb."
RhodoDynasmon recovers from the blasts and levitates down to face off with Omega X once again. The machine mutant was slightly damaged from Omega X's previous attack but did not seem bothered with the results. The warriors smirked toward one another while Gallantmon sets his sights on the enemy.
"Tai is obviously enjoying himself," said Gallantmon. "That boy never learns when to quit playing around."
"Hey, general! Even though you and your buddy fused together, you still haven't shown your full power. You're simply wasting my time. Are you afraid of what I'm capable of doing to you?"
"Not at all."
"Then quit bullshitting and fight me at your full maximum. I'm not about to drag this on much longer. This is your last warning!"
"You seem confident."
"Any reason why I shouldn't?"
"I'm just intrigued with the way you've been confident throughout our one on one struggle. But I'm about to wipe that stupid grin off your face."
"Is that right?"
"Yes. In fact, I personally think you would make a fine addition to Dr. Myuumon's forces. You can be converted into a machine mutant."
"You mean me become something like you?"
"Yes, that's correct."
"Sorry, but I'll have to turn that offer down. Besides, my wife nearly had a heart attack if she had seen me prancing around looking like a little C3PO."
"C3PO?"
"I guess you haven't watched Star Wars. I'd really recommend it to you since you'd make a great addition to it. In fact, you would be Jar Jar's bitch."
"Oh damn. He just had to stoop that low," Gallantmon said in thought.
"I really don't care about this Dr. Myuumon anyway. I'm not fighting him, yet that is. You're my opponent now. So let's shut up and get this over with."
"So be it. You've just sealed your own undoing. INFUSE!"
As soon as RhodoDynasmon cries out, Omega X turned and noticed that several of the buildings from the M-5 city were starting to crumble. Then those buildings compressed together into a metallic liquid substance and flew out towards RhodoDynasmon. Omega X flies back and watches as the liquid substance was absorbed through RhodoDynasmon's perfectly chiseled body. Then the city starts firing out an array of cables that attach to his body and RhodoDynasmon incorporates the wire's energy through his transforming body.
"His power is growing," Gallantmon said. "Hey, Tai! I would watch it if I were you!"
"Don't worry about me, Takato. This is what I've wanted. I want to see the full capabilities of his being. Don't disappoint me, Dynasmon."
As soon as the transformation sequence ended, Dynasmon's body was now entirely silver with a few black screws around his head. Then, the silvery skin was replaced by his previous skin colors. As far as Crusadermon was concerned, her body was infused through Dynasmon's perfect body. The machine mutant spread his wings and puts up another battle stance.
"I'm finished! There, how do you like that?"
"Let's not waste anymore time, Dynasmon. I'm ending this now and I will reunite with my friends when this is done."
Dynasmon simply motions his hand over towards Omega X and flies out to the city. The warrior simply follows out with his adversary. Gallantmon went along and followed them back to the M-5 city.
"They're taking it back to the city. This one's going to get really ugly."
"Why is he luring me back into the city? My friends are there searching for my sister and the digicores. Unless, he plans to ambush me on his own turf. He's playing smart. I'll at least give him some credit for that," Omega X thought.
Dynasmon makes a stop at the center of the city. He looks down and forces a chunk of land to penetrate through the ground. Omega X flies towards his enemy and prepares an attack. He cups his hands together and shoots a massive beam, which targeted solely Dynasmon.
"Terra Beam!"
"Defense Barrier! Come to me!"
As soon as Dynasmon cries out, that chunk of land transforms into a liquid substance and sprouts out in front of him. The walled barrier quickly canceled out the Terra Beam. Omega X was taken completely off guard by this act of defense displayed by Dynasmon. Gallantmon arrived at the city's station and watched the events unfold.
"Whoa, I never thought I'd see anyone block out the Terra Beam like that. It looks like Dynasmon has control of his surroundings. But how is he able to pull that off?"
Dynasmon quickly slowly levitates down and quickly becomes engulfed by the city's surface. Omega X watched as the machine mutant digimon was completely infused together with the ground. He completely lost track of Dynasmon's ki.
"I can't even keep up with his ki anymore. Hey, where did you go? Come out and fight, Dynasmon! We're not finished! Hey, Gallantmon! Can you pick up his whereabouts?"
"No way! I'm just as lost as you are! He's completely masked his energy signal. I would have told you sooner."
"Ok, Dynasmon. I'm already getting sick of these stupid ass games. Come on out and let's settle this. My family is much more important than this crap."
*********************************************************************
Back within the Main Headquarters
Max and Keke had stumbled upon the laboratory of the facility. Since there were no guards to watch the area, the children fled inside and searched the entire area.
"This is our last pit stop, Keke. Damn, where could those digicores be hiding?"
"I don't know, but I'm getting really annoyed with this. Those cores better be in this room."
"Hey, I wonder if Rika's managed to find them. You know how Kyuubimon can easily track down things."
"That's a good possibility, but we don't know for sure. Hey, look!"
"What is it?"
"It looks like a clue."
"Show me."
Keke picks up a remote control and examines it. Max walks over and takes the remote control. He presses on the first top two buttons. As soon as he did that, two doors opened up and revealed sealed boxes in each one.
"Um, I guess we'll just have to choose between prize number one and prize number two. Man, these robots have such lame ways of hiding their valuables. Anyone can just go over and grab those boxes. I bet you that one of them hold the digicores. I'll take the door to the left."
"I'll take the right."
The children each took a different direction. Max hops over to the sealed box on the left corner and opens it up. Suddenly, he had just set off a trap and an alarm goes off. Max starts panicking as he tosses the box down.
"Crap! I picked the wrong one! Damn! We're screwed! We're going to get caught!"
"Calm down, Max. Besides, all of those guards are probably busy with the others. In fact, I have something that's really going to brighten up your mood."
"WHAT?!"
Keke was holding possession all four of the black digital cores. The boy's mouth dropped and he began to jump around as if it were already his birthday.
"Oh happy day! Happy day! We found the digicores! Whoever said that kids were useless! In your face, parents!"
"C'mon, Max. Let's get out of here. We have what we need here."
"Yeah, besides I don't like staying cooped up in a place like this."
The children headed out through the entrance door and scurried down the hallways like thieves. Max helped Keke carry two of the digicores. From there, they went to trace the ki of their friends.
"I hope you're having as much fun as we are, dad," Max said. "I'm sure you're having a blast with those psycho borgs."
*********************************************************************
Outside on the Battlefield
Omega X heard laughter echoing throughout the city and looked around his surroundings. That laughter belonged to Dynasmon and there were no traces of the machine mutant anywhere. This baffled even Gallantmon.
"Hey, this is starting to get irritating, Dynasmon! Get out here now!"
"So, sorry! I really didn't think I force you to lose your patience. Please, allow me to make up for that."
"Where are you?! How can I fight you if I can't see you or pick up on your ki signal?!"
"Ha! You want to know the real truth? Well, then. I'll tell you this right now. This entire city is apart of me!"
"What this whole city is you?"
"That's right. As a matter of fact, once we terra form this planet into a machine empire, I shall assimilate it and become the most efficient bio-engineered weapon in the digital galaxy!"
"Whoa! This whole city is him?! No wonder he has control of his entire surroundings!" Gallantmon stated.
"Ok, I'm impressed with your ability, but this is getting annoying. Just get the hell out here and let's finish this right now!" Omega X exclaimed.
"Gladly."
*********************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in his secret laboratory base, Dr. Myuumon was witnessing the showdown between Dynasmon and Omega X. He was intrigued by Omega X's tenacity and how he was able to match power with Dynasmon.
"Interesting. I never thought there would be anyone that would match power for power with Dynasmon. Unfortunately, that warrior has no chance of defeating Dynasmon. He has merged with the city and it will be that warrior's undoing. I really do hope Dynasmon does not become careless and destroys him quickly. I need this warrior for my experiment."
The mad scientist turns around and glares over towards the three statues. He specifically made eye contact with the Lady Moinanea statue.
"Do you hear that, Lady Moinanea? Your legendary warrior is about to become another guinea pig. Your control over this planet is finally over."
*********************************************************************
Omega X flies around as a gigantic hand sprouts out from the ground and attempts to snatch him. The warrior managed to avoid being grabbed, but was then caught by a towering fist. Omega X does a back flip to avoid that and flies up on top of a satellite dish.
"Damn! Every time I move to a different location, he follows me! How can I beat a guy I can't even see or detect? I can just destroy this city."
"Do it if you can! That is if you want to risk the lives of your friends an family?"
"That's right. Max and everyone else are still looking for the digicores. I can't even destroy the city and risk causing harm to them."
"A tough choice, isn't it? Don't worry. Once I'm through with you, I'll deal with your so-called friends."
"That's not going to happen, Dynasmon. I'll make sure it never comes to that!"
Suddenly, Dynasmon's face started to appear around every building facing Omega X. The fused warrior stood his ground as the mutant taunted him.
"No matter what you do, your attempts are futile! You will become apart of Dr. Myuumon's experiments! You and the knight to be precise."
Gallantmon flies out and stands firm with Omega X. The two were unaware of what Dynasmon had in store for them.
Gallantmon and Omega X stand firm as they battle a foe that has infused with the very city they are standing on. How will they overwhelm Dynasmon? Max and Keke have found the digicores, but will they find their allies in time?

Tai: Hi, everyone! Well, as you know, Takato and I are still fighting that creep. However, things start to turn around as Max and Keke have managed to find the digicores.
Takato: Unfortunately, Dynasmon plans a sneak attack and traps them. Then we get turned into metal. Now we're set to become Dr. Myuumon's experiment! How much does that suck?
Davis: Not to fear! Davis has come to save the day!
Max: So then Rika, Davis and the others eventually find us. Wyveemon found a device that reverses the effects of the metal substance. Yeah! We're free!
Dr. Myuumon: No! My chances of extracting their energy for my experiment have been ruined!
Rika: By the way, guys. Davis and I managed to stumble upon a secret experiment this doc has been keeping from us. I think it would be right to show you.
Kari: A secret?
Lady Moinanea: What is it?
Dr. Myuumon: They've managed to find my secret! No! They must not know anything about you, Bebimon!
Tai: Bebimon?
Davis: See that ugly thing in that capsule? That's Bebimon.

Kanius: Well, that's chapter eleven in the nutshell. ^^ Hopefully, I'll get a chance to work on chapter twelve this week. We're already concluding the Black Digicore Saga and entering the Bebimon Saga. All I can is, thank god! I can now work on more action-oriented scenes.
The Bebimon Saga will be rewritten with newly added scenes. It will get the treatment the D-Reaper Saga received.
I really need to wrap up the Taito story and put the Black Digicore Saga to rest. Then I can concentrate on the Pharaohmon series and the Bebimon Saga. As for the Dimitri special, I have no idea when to actually release it. But make sure to check back for any updates. Mmkay? ^^
At this rate, I won't be through with the entire fourth season until this coming fall. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and be sure to check out my other fics. Until then, peace! ^^

M-5's Secret is Revealed! The Birth of Bebimon!
Battlefield. Outside of the M-5 Headquarters
Dynasmon came bursting from within the depths of the ground and flies up. Gallantmon and Omega X stood their ground as they faced off against the machine mutant digimon. Dynasmon cracks a grin and studied his adversaries closely.
"Interesting. These two will be a lot more troublesome than I thought. I can't any more chances. They must be brought to Dr. Myuumon."
On the other hand, Omega X and Gallantmon had their own observation towards the situation.
"Whew, I'm glad he decided to ditch the whole city absorption scheme. There would be no telling if we would have stood a chance," Gallantmon thought.
"Damn it. This guy has to have some form of weakness," thought Omega X. "I guess I'll just have to take my chance and drag this on a bit further."
(Play Godsmack's Going Down from the MI: II Soundtrack)
After a few moments of stalling, Omega X and Dynasmon flew towards one another. Gallantmon gazed up towards the heavens and saw two streaks of light colliding with each other. This resulted in a tremendous after shock effect and created a strong wind. The after shock caused numerous buildings and other tall structures within the city to crumble under the sheer power. Gallantmon was forced to fly away to avoid being incinerated from the effects.
"Hey! Watch where you go, Tai! You almost blew me away!"
The flash of light blanketed the heavens and faded away. The two warriors were again facing each other down. Omega X took another chance and flies out towards the enemy digimon. Dynasmon quickly saw him coming and phases out from sight. This caught the fused warrior off guard. Dynasmon reappears behind Omega X and goes for an elbow strike. Omega X does a backward flip over Dynasmon and lands a spinning back kick to the mutant's face. Angered by the sneak attack, Dynasmon turns and attempts a claw slash. The warrior avoids the attack by completely phasing out. Once again, Omega X catches Dynasmon off guard with an elbow smash to the back.
The force from the elbow smash sends Dynasmon plummeting down towards a lake. Dynasmon lands through the watery surface and leaves Omega X to regain his composure. Gallantmon rushes over towards the lake and prepares his shield.
"Hey, Tai! I'm going for a shot!"
"Hold on, Takato! Don't get too hasty!"
"I'm going for it! SHIELD-"
Just then, a tremendous force rockets out from the lake and soared up towards Omega X. Gallantmon is left completely speechless and overwhelmed by the mutant's incredible speed. Dynasmon reappears behind Omega X and taps him on the shoulder. This in turn caught Omega X's attention and forced him to turn around. Omega X is met with a fist to the face. He is then sent plummeting towards another section of the M-5 city. Omega X lands through a large dome, which lead to Dynasmon following him out.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Gallantmon calls out. "What am I chopped liver? I just hope Tai didn't break anything. Oh, well he did trash a roof."
(End song)
Meanwhile, Omega X found himself buried underneath a pile of roof debris. He coughed out and quickly tore through the heavy rubble. He then turned around and felt an intense ki heading his way. Omega X quickly phases out from sight. Dynasmon descended through the hole on the top of the roof and lands down.
"Where are you, coward?!"
(Play Metallica's I Disappear)
Dynasmon began to investigate the perimeters and did not pick up any traces of Omega X. Though he did notice a movie currently being played on the big screen. The movie was basically a remake of a random Godzilla movie. Dynasmon quickly turns around and felt a tremendous blow being delivered to his left cheek. This sent Dynasmon reeling backwards and crashing through the movie screen itself.
"Hey, Dynasmon! From over here, you could make a great stunt double for that ugly thing on the screen! You two don't happen to be related, right?"
"You! How dare you insult me, you cretin?!"
"Catch me if you can, ass!"
The fused warrior quickly phases out and blasts his way through the exit door. Infuriated by Omega X's antics, Dynasmon flies out after him and finds himself in the middle of a theatre lobby. Dynasmon starts searching the lobby and proceeds to feel out his enemy's ki. He's had no such luck and began to walk out through the front entrance.
Little did he realize that Omega X was sitting behind a soda machine. He quickly sighs a relief and leans back toward the soda machine. Unfortunately, his incredible strength easily tipped the machine over and this catches Dynasmon's attention.
"There you are! Take this!"
With that said, Dynasmon raises his hands and unleashed an array of tiny, purple blasts. Omega X managed to evade each one and witnessed the entire theatre being incinerated. The warrior flies out through the back entrance, which allowed Dynasmon to shoot out another one of his mouth blasts. The warrior was easily able to avoid each shot and watched as portions of the lobby was being turned to metal. Omega X pushes his way through the doors and finds himself outside. Dynasmon follows in suit. Though, once he opened the doors, he found what he wasn't expecting. Yes, it was Gallantmon with his shield facing the machine mutant.
"Special delivery for Dynasmon…"
"CRAP!"
"SHIELD OF THE JUST!"
Dynasmon was on the receiving end of a tremendous blast specially delivered by Gallantmon. The force sent the villain crashing through the other side of the theatre and end resulted in a tremendous blast. Gallantmon rushes over and finds Omega X sitting on a light post.
"Nicely done, Takato."
"I've always wanted to try that on someone. It really did pay off."
"I'll say. That should put his ass out of commission for a while."
"I doubt it, Tai. That attack was half-assed. I didn't even put my full energy to it."
"Damn, what's it going to take to beat this guy. If that won't do him in, then I don't think my Terra Beam will do jack squat."
(End song)
Just then, the two warriors stood their ground and felt a powerful ki signal heading towards their direction. Gallantmon readied his shield while Omega X cupped his hands together. Unfortunately, Dynasmon was in no mood to continue playing around and shoots out another mouth blast.
"Crap! Takato! Move!"
With that said, Omega X and Gallantmon dodged the beam within the nick of time. However, the beam did penetrate into the ground and quickly turns it into a metallic landscape. Omega X leaps down and watched more land turn into metal.
"Nice renovation job. Though, I wouldn't exactly call this a splendid job," said Omega X. "Metallic landscapes just aren't in these days."
"Um, we shouldn't piss him off, Tai. Look! There he goes again!"
Having becoming tired of Omega X's antics, Dynasmon flies down and fires another mouth blast. Omega X grabs Gallantmon and flies up to avoid being turned into a form of metal. Dynasmon turns around and takes another shot at the duo. Omega X was able to avoid the blast and stops to catch his breath.
"You all right, Takato?"
"Yeah. Man, what a rush. Huh, hey! Somebody is coming this way!"
"What?"
They turned around to find two traces of ki flying their direction. The two ki signals belonged to both Max and Keke. Omega X was utterly in disbelief at their sudden appearance and noticed them carrying the four black digicores.
"Tai!" Keke calls out. "We found them! We found them!"
"Dad! We have the digicores! Now we can restore you to your age!" exclaimed Max.
"Max! Keke! What are you doing here?! You ought to be helping out the others! It's not safe here!"
"We better hurry, because Dynasmon is on our tail!"
Omega X nods in agreement and flies out toward the children. Unfortunately, Dynasmon was trailing behind them and he shoots out yet another metal mouth blast. Instead of shooting his adversaries, he blasts the ground below him and watches as the metallic rift slowly rises.
"Dad! We couldn't find the others! So we had to find you!" Max cries out. "You have to at least be proud of the effort we put to find these."
"Yeah! Now you're telling us to piss off?!" Keke growls. "The nerve…"
"No, it's not like that! You're in danger! Dynasmon is here and he'll turn you into metal just like he did to Kari and Lady Moinanea!"
"Keke! Let's go! You heard what my dad said!"
"But- Oh no! Tai! Takato! Look out!"
Just as she said that, a large silver glob arches over both Omega X and Gallantmon. The warriors could do nothing but suddenly remain stiff as the glob swallowed them whole. Max and Keke looked down to find Dynasmon waving his hands around.
"Hey! You better let them go, punk!" Max exclaimed.
"I would watch your back if I were you, boy," Dynasmon replied. "Your girlfriend sure is learning the hard way."
Max quickly turns and saw Keke being engulfed by another silver glob. Max flies out in attempt to rescue the girl, but he too was caught by another blob mass. Dynasmon waves his hands in motion while the globs molded and were compressed. Each glob was instantly molded into a metallic statue form of the captives. Dynasmon flies up while snatching each digicore and attaching them onto his chest.
"Yes, I've managed to retrieve the digicores once again. They are back where they belong. As for you four, well… I hope you enjoy the rest of your pathetic lives as Dr. Myuumon's lab experiments. Because your energy will be ensure the M-5 Empire's survival."
As soon as he said that, Dynasmon flies up and snatches each metallic statue. He placed the children under his arms and carried the two warriors by hand. Dynasmon sets off back towards the M-5 Headquarters without any more delays. Not only has he turned them into metallic statues but has regained possession of the digicores. Things were certainly not looking right for the four, but the others were sure to find them. Hopefully, that will be soon enough.
*********************************************************************
Outskirts of the Headquarters
Kazemon and the other legendary warriors had already laid waste to a large group of robotic guards. They were heading down towards what looked like a warehouse.
"Those guys just keeping popping out of nowhere!" Beetlemon exclaimed.
"Guys look! It's Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon!" Kumamon cries out. "Hey, guys down here!"
"Look! It's Kumamon and everyone else!" Kaiser Greymon said.
"You guys! Kari, her partner and Lady Moinanea were just transported to somewhere within this city," Magna Garurumon explained.
"Where are Max, Keke and everyone else?" Lowemon asked.
"I think they were going to find the digicores."
"That's just great and we're completely lost," Beetlemon said.
Just as Beetlemon say down on the ground, his backside pressed against a wall and it easily pushes back. The warriors noticed that the ground was opening up and revealing an underground passage.
"Whoa! What did you just do, Beetlemon?" asked Kaiser Greymon.
"I didn't do it! All I did was press against this wall. It's no big deal."
"Actually you've just saved us the trouble," said Magna Garurumon. "This could provide us with some clues as to finding out where Kari and Lady Moinanea are held captive."
"So, you managed to find their little underground base too, huh?" a girl's voice calls out.
The warriors turned around to find none other than Rika, Renamon, Davis and Veemon.
"What's down this underground tunnel? Where does it lead?"
"You're so full of questions, Takuya," Renamon said. "Just follow our lead. There's something down there that you'll find interesting."
"Interesting? Show us," Magna Garurumon demanded.
*********************************************************************
Inside M-5 Headquarters. Main Control Room
After accomplishing his task, Dynasmon had previously split himself from Crusadermon. They had become two separate entities and were now ready to transport the metallic plates through a teleportation unit.
"Yes, our mission has been accomplished, general. We can send the digicores along with these fools. I'm sure Dr. Myuumon will be thrilled," Crusadermon said.
"I'm sure he will reward us for our courageous efforts, dear colonel. Unit #23456, send each plate through the space-time teleportation machine along with the digicores."
"Yes, sir!"
With that said, the robotic units snatched up the slab containing Omega X and runs it through the machine. It was then quickly transported and sent to Dr. Myuumon. After that, the unit did the same for the other remaining captives. Finally, the four digicores were transported.
"Very good. Dr. Myuumon will be very pleased," Dynasmon stated. "Now we can simply kick back and let the good doctor proceed with the experiments."
"This is a grand day. Soon, we'll extract their energy and use it to destroy our enemies and terra form this planet into another machine empire territory," replied Crusadermon.
"LONG LIVE, MACHINES! LONG LIVE, MACHINES!" the robotic soldiers cried out in unison.
*********************************************************************
(Play Final Fantasy VII Shinra theme)
Deep within the darkest regions of the city was that same sphere with the frightening demonic monster glare. Inside this monstrosity was the hidden laboratory of Dr. Myuumon.
A large group of robots gathered around the teleportation unit to receive the metallic plates of the heroes Dynasmon has captured. The digicores were also delivered along with the plates. The units gathered the items and placed them on an examination table.
Standing by near a control station was the genius behind the empire himself. Dr. Myuumon nods in approval and gazes over the tablets. He picks up the tablet containing Lady Moinanea and places it on an operating table.
"Excellent. This is simply excellent. Dynasmon and Crusadermon have played their parts well. Now I shall finally extract the energy from these warriors and use it to make my empire stronger! Yes, it will only be a matter of time! Units, proceed with the operation immediately."
"Yes, doctor!"
As soon as all seven tablets were placed on seven separate operating tables, Dr. Myuumon returns to his station and activates the system. Then, a large group of lasers start coming down upon the Omega X contained tablet. Dr. Myuumon was now anxious to extract the "infinite" energy he had craved for so long from Omega X.
"Yes! This is it, my fellow machines. The time has come to take their energy! The machine empire shall spread its influence throughout the galaxy!"
"Sorry, pal, but plans are cancelled!" a male's voice calls out triumphantly.
(End theme)
"Who dares threaten to stop me?! Who's there?!"
Suddenly, a fiery energy blast penetrates through the entrance door and quickly sets off the alarms. Every robot unit started to go into frenzy as a result of this. Dr. Myuumon turns around to find all six of the legendary warriors. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon stepped through the newly made entrance.
"What?! How did you find out about my secret laboratory?! You shouldn't have been able to break through my defenses!"
"Well, buddy, we just did," said Kaiser Greymon. "You really need to find some new security, because we just trashed them."
"And they call you a superior race? Your so-called security systems are out of date," replied Magna Garurumon.
"I can't let you take my precious plates! I had Dynasmon and Crusadermon work so hard to help retrieve them!"
"Well, hate to break it to you, but we just found an antidote to save our friends," another male's voice calls out from the other side of the room.
"Actually, we found an antidote," a girl's voice replied. "Kyuubimon! Take care of these wimps."
With that said, the yellow-furred vulpine rushes out from the shadows and fires away an array of fire blasts at the helpless robotic units. They started scrambling away as Dr. Myuumon stepped out from his station in attempt to save the plates. However, there was a massive blue dragon, which stepped in front of him. Dr. Myuumon was standing face to face with Xveemon. The doctor looked up and was sweating bullets.
"Oh, no…"
"Hi there, doc. I'll take those."
Xveemon delivers a punch, which sent the mad scientist flying backwards. Davis and Rika walk out from the shadows as they watched their partners go to work on the hench bots. Xveemon snatches each plate and lays down lay out on the ground. Kyuubimon jumps over and snatches each digicore.
"Davis! Rika! So, did you find the device?!" Kazemon calls out.
"We sure did. We tested it out on a piece of metal first to make sure that it was the right one," Davis said. "Anyway, there's something Rika and I found that you guys really need to know."
"Um, Davis," Rika muttered. "Would you just restore our friends?"
"Sorry, I often get carried away with these adventures."
"Uh… Typical Davis."
"All right, here goes nothing. I really hope this works."
With that said, Davis pulls out a tiny remote control device and activates it. He points it over all seven tablets and slowly waits to see the results. To everyone's satisfaction, the plates were immediately melted away and it freed the captives. Omega X and Gallantmon found themselves restored to normal. The same thing happened with Kari, Gatomon, Lady Moinanea, Max and Keke. Dr. Myuumon slowly revived himself and watched the room flooded by his enemies. He slowly crawled away without being detected.
"We're back to normal? Huh? Davis? Rika? What's going on?" Omega X pondered.
"Yeah, we kind of deserve an explanation here," replied Gallantmon.
"If you would be so kind to tell us," Lady Moinanea said. "Where are we?"
"You were sent down here to be dissected. You can thank us for saving you," Davis said.
"That's not important now. There's something you guys should know that our good doctor over here has kept hiding in his secret chambers," Rika said.
"Secret? What are you guys talking about?" Kari asked.
"You'll know once we show you," said Xveemon. "But I'm pretty sure the doc will show us the door. Right, doc?"
Dr. Myuumon quickly rushes over towards the secret door after climbing a row of stairs. He suddenly stopped as Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon stepped in front him.
"You can't call on Dynasmon and Crusadermon to save your wrinkled ass," said Kaiser Greymon. "We'll be more than happy to open it for you. Magna Garurumon, as you please"
"With pleasure."
The wolf warrior punches through the wall and rips through the metal hinges of the steel door. Kaiser Greymon tops it off and cutting open a wider space to allow him and everyone else to walk through.
"I'm really anxious to know what this guy has hidden in this secret lab," Max said. "I hope it's not anything worse than Dynasmon."
"Max, I have a feeling it could just be much worse," Keke replied.
"Well, I'm excited," Omega X said.
"Ha. You're always excited, Tai," Kari chuckled.
"Ok, doc. If you don't find, we'll be taking a grand tour around your secret room," Xveemon said. "C'mon, everyone. You're going to miss out!"
As soon as he said that, everyone nodded in agreement and started walking through the passageway door. Davis and Rika lead everyone down a long aisle way. The room was wide-spaced with barely any light and the aisle seemed to extend further than anyone expected. Omega X looked on ahead and was utterly shocked at what he saw ahead.
"Did you see it, Tai?" Kyuubimon asked.
"You bet I did."
"What is it, dad?"
"Just take a look up ahead and you'll see what I mean."
The entire group looked up ahead and saw a large capsule sitting in the middle of the aisle. The capsule was brightened by a neon green aura and inside was perhaps one of the most repulsive sights anyone could ever see. Lady Moinanea covered her mouth and utterly wanted to regurgitate. The warriors didn't know what to make of it, but Dr. Myuumon was literally on his knees crying.
"I'm sorry, my beautiful Bebimon… They have discovered you! We tried to stop them, but they forced their way in here! I would never let such ugly filth gave upon your marvelance!"
"Marvelance?" Omega X said. "I wouldn't exactly call this marvelance."
He was definitely correct on this. Sitting inside the middle of the capsule was a metallic larvae-like embryo with wires attached to its body. There was a liquid substance inside in order to ensure the large embryo's survival and the wires were feeding it some form of energy. The creature didn't seem to be active, though there was a slight pulsating in its chest.
"That thing is disgusting!" Kazemon exclaimed.
"I agree there, blondie," Rika said. "This is what the machine empire have been molding into their perfect weapon this whole time."
"That little thing as their perfect weapon?" Beetlemon asked. "That's hard to believe."
"Tell me about it," Kumamon said.
"Geez, I can hardly look at that thing. It makes me sick to my stomach and the smell here does not do me any favors," said Gallantmon.
"It maybe difficult to stomach, but it's true. I overheard Dr. Myuumon's hench bots a moment ago," Kyuubimon said.
Everyone once again took another look at the capsule with mixed reactions. Some were disappointed, while others were simply intrigued.
"You don't say? Well, this experience has really taken to a whole new twist. I'm interested to know a little more on this thing," Omega X stated.
Dr. Myuumon slowly sat up and whimpered to himself. He utterly has failed to keep this a secret. The question was: why is this creature considered important to the M-5 machine empire? Dr. Myuumon referred to its name as Bebimon.
"The name of this creature is Bebimon," said Xveemon. "You probably heard the doc spit out his name already."
"Bebimon, huh? Funny name for someone important," Max said. "Don't you think, dad?"
"Yeah. Though I am interested to know if it really is powerful than Dynasmon. I'd really like to fight this thing myself."
Omega X kept his eyes locked on Bebimon's larvae with great interest, despite the creature not moving an inch within it's confined capsule.

Earth. West Shinjuku. 4:56 P.M.
Back on Earth, everything seemed to be tranquil at the moment. There haven't been any signs of strange activity, except the fact that the weather was constantly changing.
An older Takeru Takaishi was walking down the street with two kids running ahead of him. One of the children had blonde hair and was literally cursing like a dirty-mouthed sailor. The other is girl with short, brown hair. The children were starting to constantly argue with one another.
"I wanted to go to the damn park!" Tike cries out. "Who died to make you the boss?"
"Look! We've been to the park this entire week! I think we should at least expand our horizons!" Kara replied. "I'm sure dad would rather want to go book store! Right, dad?"
"What? Don't bring me into this, you guys."
"You already are, dad. Besides, don't you think we ought to take a break from visiting the park?"
"I guess so."
"Besides, Tike. There are plenty of comic books there. I know how much you adore them."
"Really?! I hope they got a good selection!"
"Heh, that gets him every time," Kara thought. "Yeah, you'll love their selections. It's the biggest in the city."
"Then, what are we waiting for?! C'mon, dad! Let's… Hey, what's up, dad?"
"Yeah, you've been pretty down. We're really concerned."
"It's your mother. It's been a while since she and Tai left to that other digital world. I wonder if they're doing fine."
"I'm sure they are fine," replied Kara. "You shouldn't worry about mom so much. Besides, Uncle Tai is with them."
"That's right. They've only been gone for nearly half a day," Tike said. "Shintomon told us that they should be back by the end of the day. So, let's take our minds off that."
"Yeah, you're right, guys," TK said. "Sorry. I just have been worrying about Kari."
"Let's make this day count, dad," Kara stated. "I promise everything will be fine."
"Ok then. After the bookstore, we'll go home and order some pizza. My treat, okay?"
The two kids nodded in delight as their mouths drooled at the thought of warm freshly delivered pizza. TK simply rubs the back of his head and gives a fake smile.
"Knowing these kids, I'll have to use the last of my paycheck to feed their bottomless pits. I wonder what kind of fun Tai and the others are having at this time. It couldn't be any worse than this."
*********************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Shinjuku District. 4:35 P.M.
There was a dark-haired young man wearing a leather coat and a pair of shades. Accompanying him was a green caterpillar-like creature with purple mandibles. Yes it was none other Ken Ichijouji and his digimon partner, Wormmon. Ken has started to breakthrough with his detective career but has still yet to learn from the world's greatest.
"Ken? I don't mean to bother you at a time like this, but where are we going?"
"Ryo said that he had something important to tell me. Lately, he's been telling me that Monodramon has been talking to himself. It's even managed to scare Ryo."
"Monodramon talking to himself?"
"Yeah, this sounds like a case of possession. Then again, I could be wrong."
"I really hope Monodramon is ok. I wouldn't even want to think that something would possess him. You could always change your career to ghosts and goblins."
"I really don't believe in the supernatural, but we've had our fair share of supernatural forces, huh?"
"You bring up a good point. There's something I want to bring up. Davis and the others have yet to come home from their assignment."
"I'm not all surprised. This certainly wouldn't be a simple task for them. In any case, Tai is with them. What could go wrong?"
"Everything, Ken. Tai better not become so careless and turn this into another one of his happy hours. Lord knows we don't need another genocidal maniac running amuck on this planet. The D-Reaper was enough for me…"
"Hurry up, Wormmon. You don't want to get left behind, buddy."
"Coming, Ken!"
With that said, the worm digimon rapidly hops towards his partner and catches up towards him. Wormmon was slowly panting after every hop he had taken.
"This matter with Monodramon concerns me. Tentomon managed to inform us that he sensed a dark energy from Monodramon. He could just over exaggerating, but I need to know myself if it is true."
"We'll simply just have to ask Ryo and Monodramon. I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this since no one else is even bothering to investigate."
"That's why I'm going to be a professional detective. I'll need a few cases to start off with my new career. This is a perfect opportunity for me."
"Then I'm with you one-hundred percent, Ken!"
"Thanks pal. He said to meet us over in the western district near a food market. We better hurry."
"Yeah, you certainly don't want to miss out on this opportunity."
Ken picks up Wormmon and starts his walk further down towards the western district of the city. From there, he will meet with Ryo and talk about the 'mysterious' source that has been plaguing Monodramon for quite sometime.
*********************************************************************
Dr. Myuumon's Secret Laboratory
Already infiltrated Dr. Myuumon's secret room, the gang was starting to walk down the long aisle toward the capsule. They put their full attention on the creature that was within the capsule. It was not only repulsive in appearance, but it simply gave off a frightening vibe that sent chills down the digimons' spines.
"Geez, put a blanket over that thing. I can't stand to look at it," Keke remarked.
"So, do you know anything else about this thing?" Kari asked.
"Well, we did find out that it was designed to awaken and run amuck throughout this part of the digital galaxy. Once its power continues to grow, it and the empire will move out into the other quadrants," Rika explained.
"There's more," Kyuubimon continued on. "The next target after this digital world would be earth. Dr. Myuumon plans to send his robotic armies to take claim of the planet."
"It makes sense," Lady Moinanea spoke. "This mad man would want to conquer the home planet of the humans. You have some nerve, doctor."
"What a bunch of jerks! You guys really did have the nerve to invade our home?!" Kazemon growls.
"You really did intend to send this ugly freak on our home? Creeps like you make me sick," Kaiser Greymon said directly towards Dr. Myuumon.
"It doesn't matter now. My Bebimon will awaken and destroy you all! I'll make sure you pay for ever trespassing through my laboratory!"
"Sorry, doc, but we hate to spill you the bad news," said Xveemon. "We rewired every attachment to Bebimon's life support thing…"
"What he said!" Davis exclaimed. "We switched all of booger face's life support wiring to your plumbing system."
This startling revelation brought utter disbelief across Dr. Myuumon's face as his mouth widened. The doctor began wailing out like a baby and droops his way over to the capsule. Everyone else looked on as the mad scientist was starting to reroute the wiring back to Bebimon's capsule.
"That solves everything. You really saved the day, Davis," Max said.
"I never thought ol' Davis had it in him," Gatomon replied.
"Just call me 'Davis the handyman'," Davis stated. "I ought to start my own show."
"Yeah, so we can all press the mute button," Omega X snickered.
"Hey, I deserve my own TV show!" Davis exclaimed.
"I don't mean to rain on our parades, but shouldn't we get out of here," Kumamon said. "You've already taken care of the problem. Bebimon can't come to life."
"That's right. We've managed to put Dr. Myuumon's plan for conquest on hold for a long time," replied Lowemon.
"Yeah, but you guys sort of spoiled my fun," Omega X stated. "I really wanted a crack shot at this Bebimon. I wanted to see if he was worth the challenge."
"Tai, you can't be serious?" Magna Garurumon asked.
"Hell yeah. You bet I am. But it's too late to change that. What's done is done. Oh well. Looks like we're going home with the digicores."
"I cannot believe you would risk the entire galaxy just for the sport of fighting," the demigoddess spoke. "Then again, you seem to enjoy it."
"Yep. I sure do."
Dr. Myuumon was bawling so loud that everyone turned around to see him on his knees in tears. Max and Keke walked up towards the capsule to closely examine the developing Bebimon embryo.
"You know maybe dad is right. We were sort of robbed of a new challenge," Max said.
"Oh c'mon, Max! Leaving this thing where is belongs is rightfully justified. Besides, do we really need a monster to terrorize our home?"
"No, but just think how much fun dad and I can have with him. He'll be sort of like our practice dummy."
"You think life is just a big game, Max. Typical, boys."
"He certainly takes after you, Tai," Kari muttered.
Max leaps up and starts crawling all over the capsule's glass exterior. He was crawling around as if he were Spider Man. Keke simply wanted to yank the boy down and to save himself from further embarrassment. Dr. Myuumon took notice of this and angrily cries out towards him.
"Hey, get off of there! Get your filthy hands off of Bebimon's capsule!"
"Max! I'd hate to agree with him, but get your ass down here!" Keke said.
"Hey! He's doing an impression of Spider Man," Omega X chuckled. "Man, my boy is so full of surprises."
Max presses his face against the glass and glares deeply through it. Bebimon was slowly losing life force due to its life support being rewired to the plumbing system.
"Geez, he's really ugly once you get up close," said Max. "You guys want to take a closer look?"
"No way!" everyone else exclaimed in unison.
"Didn't you hear me, boy?! I said to get your hands off of Bebimon's capsule! You dirty… HUMAN!"
(Play Final Fantasy VII's Jenova theme)
As soon as the doctor said that, the embryo quickly turns it's head and opens its eyes. The creature turned its attention toward Max and locked its fish-like eyes on his. Max was taken back by this sudden rejuvenation and leaps back.
"Whoa! I think that woke him up," Max stated. "Thanks a lot, doc."
"Bebimon?! But how are you doing this?!" Dr. Myuumon exclaimed. "Your life support was rewired to the plumbing system, but… You somehow have been rejuvenated to life?!"
"What?! But that's impossible!" Davis exclaimed. "We rewired everything! He isn't even supposed to be functioning! I'm sorry, guys. I did my best…"
"No, it wasn't your fault for once, Davis," Gatomon said. "I think the doctor managed to revive Bebimon simply by screaming out 'human'."
"Max! Get away from there!" Omega X calls out.
As soon as Max and Keke fled from the area, the capsule within Bebimon's tank was started to crack. Bebimon broke free of his attachment cords and let out a horrifying screech. The creature's eyes had now taken a more 'shades' look and his mouth morphed with an array of sharp teeth sprouting. It then started to develop limbs and feet. Dr. Myuumon was utterly astonished at Bebimon's spontaneous revival.
"Yes, arise Bebimon! Arise and destroy these meddling humans! Destroy them and their pet partners! Make them fear your unlimited power!"
Bebimon quickly breaks free of the capsule and unleashes a powerful energy wave that cracks open the entire capsule. The room becomes entirely blanketed by a light purple aura and the force sends everyone flying backwards. The digimon were fortunate to catch their partners in time. Meanwhile, Dr. Myuumon was sent reeling back with his body taking severe damage. Bebimon hops out from his capsule and lands on the ground.
As soon as the light clears away, holes from the roof caused beams of light to come down upon Bebimon. The baby digimon looked around its surroundings and gazed upon the digimon hanging around the ceiling.
"So, that's Bebimon? That little squirt is the big deal around here?" Beetlemon said. "I'm rather disappointed. I expected him to be much bigger."
"No kidding," Kumamon replied.
"Hold on a minute you guys," Omega X said. "You're not feeling out his ki? Don't you feel it? He's a lot stronger than you give him credit for."
"I can sure sense his power," Kaiser Greymon. "This is unbelievable! He's not even fully evolved either!"
"I'm beginning to sense some familiar ki from this monstrosity," Lady Moinanea thought. "But where? It couldn't be…"
"He certainly looks like he's at the in-training level," Keke said.
"But his power is feels like it belongs to a mega," Max muttered. "This is crazy!"
"Kyuubimon, what do you think?" Rika asked. "Is he as strong as they say he is?"
"Yes, and I know it's hard to believe."
"Unbelievable."
"I don't know about you guys, but I say we waste this little bugger," Max said.
"I'm with you," Omega X responded. "We can't let this thing escape."
Dr. Myuumon sits up and his entire body was severely damaged from the capsule shattering. He crawls over towards Bebimon and reaches out toward him.
"Bebimon. You've finally come to life my Bebimon…"
The tiny digimon faced the doctor and turned his attention over toward the digimon that took refuge above the roof. Dr. Myuumon pointed out towards them eagerly.
"Bebimon. Those are the intruders who infiltrated our secret laboratory and planned on destroying your precious capsule. They must be eliminated, Bebimon. Kill the humans and their digimon pets! Kill them all!"
"Hu-mans?"
Bebimon turns and faces each one of the humans. First he saw Rika, Davis and Kari. After that, he turned to face Max and Keke. Then, he faced the digimon. Finally, he makes eye contact with Omega X and growls deeply. A purple aura blankets Bebimon's body and the ground started to tremble under his sheer power. Bebimon unleashes a horrifying scream, which created powerful sound waves that destroyed the roof's foundation. The digimon scattered out into different directions to prepare their attacks on the creature.
"All right guys! On my count, we'll blast this thing to kingdom come! Ready! One!"
"Two!"
"THREE!"
As soon as Omega X said that, every digimon and warrior in the room unleashed their trademark techniques. Each blast came showering down and nailed Bebimon with perfect aim. The creature screamed as each blast penetrated through his soft-tissue body. Gallantmon, Xveemon, Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon and Omega X were preparing to shoot out their best techniques once again to finish off the remains of Bebimon.
"Lightning Joust!"
"V Laser!"
"Pyro Dragons!"
"Machinegun Destroy!"
"Terra Beam!"
"Hold it! You boys can't have all the fun!" Lady Moinanea calls out as she hurls a massive ki ball. "Celestial Orb!"
Bebimon did not even get a chance to blink and each blast quickly incinerated his body. Dr. Myuumon could only look on with utter horror as his greatest 'creation' was quickly destroyed within seconds.
(End theme)
"BEBIMON! MY PRECIOUS BEBIMON!"
"Way to go, guys! Mission accomplished!" Max exclaimed.
"Perfecto! That was simply marvelous!" cheered Lady Moinanea.
"Heh, now where have I heard 'perfecto' before?" Davis said. "She really has a little Yolei in her."
"Whew, now we can all go home now," Kari said. "But first we'll have to restore Tai's age."
"The sooner the better," replied Gatomon.
"Hey, look! The doc is leaving," Keke said. "We can't let him escape!"
Dr. Myuumon was walking towards a large door and presses a button. The door slides open and reveals a large hovercraft unit. When he stepped inside of the craft unit, a tiny metallic slime crawls under Myuumon's feet and slivers through an open-cut wound.
Dr. Myuumon steps inside and activates the hovercraft's controls. The thrusters went off and the ship was starting to lift off through the roof. The ship makes a complete turn and flies off into the distance. It disappears within moments through the farthest regions of space.
"Hey! He's getting away!" Kazemon cries out. "C'mon, guys!"
"There's no point," Gallantmon said.
"Huh?! But he's getting away!" Davis exclaimed. "We should at least shot his ship down."
"He's no harm to us or our home since Bebimon has already been destroyed," Omega X. "I agree with Takato."
"Gee and I really wanted to knock some sense into that creep Dr. Myuumon," Keke muttered.
"Don't worry, Keke. Without Bebimon under his wing, he's just another feeble old man who wouldn't pick a fight," Max said. "At least I hope so."
"Anyway, I hear our ship is pretty much wrecked," Davis said. "Don't worry. We'll get that fixed, but let's head on over to Seraphimon. We still have to restore Tai's age."
"Don't worry. We'll help arrange that for you," Lady Moinanea said.
"We have our work cut out for us, guys. I say we get the heck out of this rat hole," Omega X said. "I can't wait to get home… Sora is going to be thrilled to see me back to my old self."
"I don't know I kind of like you as a kid," Keke said. "You're like a big brother to Max."
"Uh, yeah. I could use a big brother, dad," Max said. "Then again, I wouldn't want mom crying about being married to a child."
"Good point…"
"Man, Tai's family is really whacked out," Kaiser Greymon whispered to Kazemon.
"You said it!"
*********************************************************************
Far off from the Digital World in orbit
The hovercraft was traveling out through space with full thrusters on. Dr. Myuumon looks out through a window and casts an eye on the Digital World. His plans of conquest were immediately shattered and his greatest creation was destroyed.
"Curse those insolent, humans! They ruined everything! Now I'll have to reset everything into motion! I better contact Dynasmon and Crusadermon. They'll take care of those insects and help extract my revenge."
Suddenly, a virtual image of the M-5 Empire was displayed through a mainframe. Dr. Myuumon walks over to the mainframe and slams his fist angrily.
"Damn them! Damn them all! I came so close to reaching my complete conquest! I will make those insolent humans pay… Er…"
Suddenly, Dr. Myuumon struggled and wrapped his hands around his neck. His voice had now become raspy and snake-like.
"Those humans… Those humans… They will pay dearly for this!"
With one swift motion, a metallic creature punches through Dr. Myuumon's chest and lands on the floor. The culprit turned out to be Bebimon in complete tact. He somehow managed to regenerate his body after being incinerated and one last piece of his essence took refuge within Dr. Myuumon.
"No. You seem to be forgetting who was the REAL mastermind that created you and the entire M-5 Empire. As a matter of fact, you and the empire are of no use to me. I no longer have interest for conquest of this digital world. Why not just move onto bigger and better ventures within the universe?"
Bebimon crushes Dr. Myuumon's head and smashes it into pieces. The mutant digimon crawls over to the overview of the M-5 city and shuts the mainframe off.
"I seek to take control of the other remaining digital worlds. But first, I want to pay a little visit to this planet called earth. I'm sure those insolent humans will help lead me there."
Bebimon crawls over to a window and makes eye contact with the Digital World in the distance. A smug expression formed on the mutant's face.
"I know a couple of humans and digimon that must die. You just lead me to Earth, fools. I'll be waiting in the wings…"
Bebimon has destroyed Dr. Myuumon and has abandoned the M-5 Empire. He now has his sights set on Tai and his entire group. Will he eventually find himself on Earth?

[Preview]
Tai: Hey, everyone! It's Tai! We've been told to use the digicores on another planet since using them on the digital world will destroy it in the process.
Lady Moinanea: I'm afraid we can't risk using the Black Digicores on this world. Why not try them on an abandoned planet?
Keke: Why don't you come with us?
Lady Moinanea: As much as I would like to visit the human world, I have a duty to maintain here. I shall watch over this digital world with the Three Celestials and restore complete order.
Max: Plus we still have Dynasmon and Crusadermon to take care of!
Takuya: Don't worry. We'll take care of them.
Kari: Now we run into another urgent situation as we depart from the digital world.
Keke: There's a ship approaching a burning star and we go to check if there are any survivors. We eventually find a boy.
Kouji: I have a bad feeling about this boy.
Bebimon: Unfortunately for you fools, I've taken refuge within this boy and I plan to take one of your bodies.
Zoe: Guys. There's something unusual about this kid.
Tai: How are we going to fight an enemy we can't even trace since he happens to use other people's bodies?!
Max: We're almost home, guys!
Tai: Though, we'll need to use those digicores sometime sooner or later. I guess Sora shouldn't mind me being an eleven year old for a while. I've made up my mind. I'll use the digicores whenever I feel up to it. I want to relive my childhood again!
Max: Next chapter is entitled…
A Hidden Danger! Bebimon's Counterattack!
Bebimon: I won't rest until you eventually lead me to this Earth. I plan on making your dreams a living nightmare.

Kanius: That finally puts an end to the Black Digicore Saga. After many months of waiting and we've survived. ^^ Now we're set with the upcoming Bebimon Saga. The first chapter won't go up until I finished the final chapter to Taito's Destiny and add chapter twelve to the Pharaohmon arc.
I have a whole lot of work to catch up. In fact, this saga was supposed to end last month but school really sidetracked me. . Anyway, this chapter puts the finishing touches to the Digicore Saga. Bebimon Saga, here we come! ^^

A Hidden Danger! Bebimon's Counterattack!
Outside of the M-5 Machine City
The group, led by Tai and Lady Moinanea, had left the city after dealing with Dr. Myuumon. Fortunately, they were able to escape and not be forced to battle with machine guards. It seemed as though the activity within the city had died off since Dr. Myuumon's departure. There was not even a sign of Dynasmon or Crusadermon.
Tai looks out over towards the city and gave it one last glimpse. He turns to face his group and tosses the fourth digicore over to Max. The boy caught it with ease and placed it in his left pant pocket.
"Our job is complete," Tai replied. "Yay! Now we can get back home and sleep!"
"But first we have to get back to Seraphimon's castle," Lady Moinanea spoke. "I'm pretty sure your ship has been repaired."
"You sure you want to remain the way you are, Tai?" Kari asked.
"Yeah, but just for a while. Besides, we're taking the digicores along with us. We didn't come all the way out here just to leave them."
"Well, I really could use a long rest after we get back home," Takato spoke. "Hey, Rika. That was some experience, huh?"
"Yeah, if you don't mind getting blasted at every corner," Rika muttered.
"Hey, what about Dynasmon and Crusadermon? Don't you think they would be onto us by now?" asked Tommy.
"I doubt that," Takuya replied. "Without Dr. Myuumon running the show, they are lost sheep."
"Or they could turn rogue and simply hunt us for the thrill of it," Kouji said. "Haven't you ever thought of that, genius?"
"Typical Takuya," Zoe said.
Tai nods towards Agumon and walks over across a meadow. He pulls out his mini-scope and peeks through to find the majestic tower of Seraphimon's castle. He turns around and faces his group.
"Ok, guys. Seraphimon's castle is just over those mountains. If we get there in time, we'll see if he and his followers were able to find and repair our ship."
"I shall lead the way," Lady Moinanea spoke. "Follow me, everyone."
Just then, Agumon noticed Guilmon grasping an object in his hand and walks over to him. It seemed Guilmon was holding a piece of silver slime, which looked exactly like a body fragment of Bebimon.
"What is that you're holding, Guilmon?"
"I don't know, but I found it when we left that lab. It seems yucky."
"I would throw it away if I were you, Guilmon. It could carry some sort of disease."
"Oh, I don't want to get sick. Besides, it doesn't look good to eat."
Guilmon tosses the silvery slime overhead and watches it plop onto the ground. He kicks some dirt on it and quickly catches up with the group.
"Wait for me, guys!"
"You better hurry or we'll leave ya, buddy," Takato teased. "What were you holding just a while ago?"
"Oh, just a piece of slime. It didn't smell very good."
"Next time, don't pick up anything you think maybe harmful. Besides, I wouldn't ever dare touch anything that crawled in that mad doctor's lab."
"Yeah, especially that Bebimon thing. It gave me the willies."
"'Willies'? Oh boy, what's next?" Rika muttered.
As soon as everyone walked off into the far distance, there was a cloud of smoke emerging from the deep forest. The piece of slime, which Guilmon tossed aside, was emitting a light purple aura. Then, it started to slither over through the brush and attached itself to what looked like a silver creature bearing shade-like eyes. The creature giggled and one word described it: Evil.
Seraphimon's Castle
Later in the day, the group had managed to make it over to Seraphimon's Castle. It was a long walk over the rugged mountains, but the digimon easily managed to overcome it. The humans took the time to catch some rest before their eventual departure.
"You guys may need some rest for now. I'll go speak with Seraphimon," Lady Moinanea spoke.
"Thanks. We really need it," Tai said. "Luckily we have some trusty friends that can out us out of that loop."
The demigoddess chuckled at the boy's comment and walked through the entrance door. While being greeted by Sorcermon, he led her down the long aisle towards Seraphimon's throne chambers. Max walks over and sits next to his young father.
"Hey, dad," Max spoke.
"What's up, dude? Something bothering you?"
"Just one thing that's bothering me. It's about Bebimon."
"Bebimon? What about him?"
"Well, I was thinking. What if he wasn't really killed? What if he managed to survive our onslaught?"
"I don't if your vision is bad, but you clearly saw us kicking that little freak's ass. The megas practically vaporized him. There's no way he would have came back from all of that."
"That's just the thing. You guys dealt with the D-Reaper and it continued to return."
"Well, this guy clearly doesn't look like he's on D-Reaper's class. At least, I hope he isn't…"
"Yeah, that's the last thing we really need," Agumon spoke.
"Don't sweat it, Max," Gatomon said. "If he ever shows his ugly mug, we'll send him into the next world."
"Sorry if I'm not thinking more positive," Max replied. "These kind of situations usually worry me."
"There's nothing to be sorry about," Kari said while approaching the group. "It's okay to be worried, but don't keep it bottled up inside. Just let us know."
"Yeah and we'll help to solve that problem. Besides, Bebimon is gone and there's nothing to worry about."
"Look at Davis. Even he's not worrying about something like Bebimon," Gatomon said.
"Nah, he's showing off. He practically thinks that Veemon is invincible since he can digivolve into Wyveemon," Keke spoke out. "Then again, Davis doesn't worry about anything."
The Kamiya family turns to find Davis standing on top of a rock with Veemon at his side. The young man practically thinks that he is a super man while flexing his arms.
"Just take a look at me now. My partner can digivolve again. One day, I'm going to be fusion warrior just like Tai. Just you wait and see! Hey, Tai! You're looking at your next competition here!"
"Ok, Davis! Just soak it all in!" Tai calls out. "I'll be ready for you!"
"Typical, Davis. Well, at least, he's not trying to impress me anymore. Ever since he and Sonja were married, he's gotten over me. Then again, who knows what's floating inside Davis' head. Not even a psychic can predict Davis."
"Does he enjoy showing off like this every time?" Guilmon asked.
"Yes, every time," Renamon muttered. "Reminds me of Impmon years ago."
"So, what's taking her so long? I so want to leave this place," Rika said.
"Just wait a few minutes, Rika. I'm sure they've arranged something for our departure," Takato reassured the teen girl.
"You know, I'm sure going to miss this place again," Takuya said. "I'd hate to leave again so soon."
"I know and we just saw Bokomon and Neemon again," Kouichi replied.
"I wonder how we're going to get back home?" Tommy said.
"They probably found and repaired our spaceships," said JP. "Man, I hope they resupplied it with snacks. We'll be pretty hungry over that long trip."
"C'mon, it's not like they are going to make us starve through our trip," Zoe said. "I'm sure everything for our trip has been arranged."
Suddenly, the digimon turned to see Lady Moinanea walking out from the palace with Seraphimon and Sorcermon by her side. The humans gathered around to listen to the demigoddess' important announcement.
"Everyone. I have some wonderful news. It seems a group of Seraphimon's officers were able to find your ships. While we were dealing with the situation on M-5, they were able to repair the ships and rejuvenate them. You will be able to leave the planet sooner than we had hoped for."
"Really? That means we can go home again?" Tai asked. "Wow, this is great! We really don't know how to thank you, Lady Moinanea."
"Do not thank me. We are grateful that you children forced Dr. Myuumon off the planet and recaptured the digicores. It was you children who freed me from my imprisonment. Seraphimon also thanks you and has allowed the children to keep the spirits of the legendary warriors as gift."
"Wow! You are allowing us to keep possession of the spirits?!" Takuya asked.
"I can't believe what I'm hearing!" Zoe exclaimed.
"That's awesome!" said JP. "Beetlemon lives on!"
"You twelve helped to preserve this Digital World and freed it from Lucemon's evil. However, you can only use those spirits as a last line of defense. There is no telling if any evil forces may come to invade your home planet."
"Lady Moinanea. We thank you," Takato said. "We were more than happy to help. We don't do these types of commitments as a form of community service. We do it, because we have a responsibility over all the digital worlds."
"I agree. Well, Lady Moinanea, it looks like it's goodbye from here," Tai said.
"For now, Taichi. But, we will meet again. You have my permission to protect the four black digicores. Guard them with your life. You cannot let any enemies capture them for personal greed. You may use them when you feel the time is right."
"I understand."
The demigoddess extends her majestic hand over to Tai, which the boy tightly grasped. They gave each other assuring nods.
"We'll meet again, Lady Moinanea."
"Yes."
"It would be best to hurry now, children," Seraphimon spoke.
"Why in a hurry?" Takuya asked.
"I'm sensing two dark powers heading over towards this direction. It's coming from Dr. Myuumon's two strongest disciples."
The digimon were quickly able to pick up the dark ki signals from their left direction. It was definitely coming from Crusadermon and Dynasmon. Even Max and Keke were able to pick up their energy signals.
"Damn, I should have known!" Max growled.
"All right, Agumon! It's time for Omega X to kick some ass!"
"No, Tai! You and the others get over to the ships. Kouji and I will handle them!" Takuya exclaimed.
"But you might need our help!" replied Takato.
"It's okay, Takato. They'll handle it," Tai assured the teen. "They've battled their shares of wars with two similar digimon in the past."
Takuya and Kouji stood out in front of the castle with their D-Tectors held out. Tai and Takato helped to lead the group out through the back gateways and out into the forest. Seraphimon quickly erected a barrier around himself and Lady Moinanea.
Suddenly, a large ki blast came showering down over the front entrance. The blast incinerated the gateway and left a small crater. The smoke cloud started to build up around Takuya and Kouji. Out from the smoke came Dynasmon and Crusadermon. They were prepared to battle and to gain retribution for Dr. Myuumon's departure.
"How convenient! We knew you despicable children would be hiding here!" Dynasmon billowed.
"What's this here? Well if it isn't Seraphimon and Lady Moinanea," Crusadermon spoke out. "Tell us where those humans are hiding?"
"Or we'll waste this palace into the largest parking lot in the digital world!"
"Man, that line was so lame!" a thunderous voice calls out.
"What? Who dares mock me?!" Dynasmon calls out. "Show yourself, coward!"
"With pleasure!"
As soon as Dynasmon could even react, a sword came slashing from out of the smoke cloud and wedged a deep cut across Dynasmon's chest. The royal knight digimon cries out in anguish as he saw Kaiser Greymon levitating over him. He held his massive sword in one hand.
"It's you! You caught me off guard!"
"And that was a little taste of what's to come. Take a look at your armor. I've cut a wedge there."
Dynasmon looks down at his armored chest and growled deeply. He flies over at Kaiser Greymon and shoots out several blasts from his palms. Kaiser Greymon barely managed to evade the shots and uses his sword to block them out.
Crusadermon watches the battle ensue, until another figure came rushing out from the smoke cloud and nails her with head butt. The figure turned out to be a wolf-like warrior. Crusadermon stood her ground and faced off with Magna Garurumon.
"You dirty whelp! You warriors do not fight fair!"
"Funny and that's coming out from the mouth of an egomaniac. I've dealt with your counterpart in the past," Magna Garurumon said. "You should be at least as strong as the other one."
"Oh, you'd be surprised. I'm on a whole different level."
"Is that so? Funny. From what I'm sensing, your power level isn't that great. In fact, you're just a waste of my time."
"What did you just say? How dare you! No one talks down on me like that!"
Magna Garurumon charges ahead and meets head on with Crusadermon. The two clashed and traded blows with one another.
The warriors took it to the skies as the villains were struggling against the two highly powered megas. Kaiser Greymon swung his sword overhead and slashes over at Dynasmon's side. Dynasmon cries out with anguish as he struggled to dodge each slash. Magna Garurumon was taking it to Crusadermon and blasted her with cannons, which sprouted out from his shoulders.
"Take that!" Magna Garurumon cries out.
Each shot penetrated through Crusadermon and caused her to fly backwards. Dynasmon was beaten to a pulp by Kaiser Greymon. The machine knights struggled while facing off with their adversaries.
"Are you all right, Dynasmon?"
"Fortunately, I am still in this fight. They are a lot stronger than we realize. How are they able to get stronger after every battle? We can't be beaten, Crusadermon. We can't allow ourselves to make a mistake and taste defeat like our counterparts."
"Yes, we are Dr. Myuumon's top ranking officials! He might have departed, but we will carry out the honor of the M-5 Empire!"
Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon stood their ground as the mega duo prepared to attack the megas. However, they were not going to engage in a head on assault, but they were summoning forth their long-range attacks. Dynasmon charged up as a bright aura surrounded his body. He and Crusadermon cried out during their immense power-ups.
"Their power is sky rocketing!" Seraphimon exclaimed.
"Kaiser Greymon! Magna Garurumon! Brace yourselves!" cried Lady Moinanea. "I just hope the others are able to make it to their ships."
"Hey, Magna Garurumon. You getting worried?"
"Nah, these two are simply wasting their time. They have no chance to match with our power."
"I know. Why are they even bothering with this power up? Let's attack right now."
"Hold on. Just give them a few moments. We'll attack afterwards."
"Ok… Whatever you say…"
Dynasmon's cries echoed throughout the heavens as a massive dragon appears over him. The dragon was created through his own aura. The legendary warriors easily recognized this attack. It was the one the previous Dynasmon used against them.
"Does this look familiar to you? I'm sure my counterpart used this technique on numerous occasions! Crusadermon, are you finished?"
"I was finished a long time ago."
"Perfect, now allow us to demonstrate as to why we were chosen as the leading officials of the M-5 Empire! Attack engage!"
"Engage!"
Dynasmon unleashes the aura-produced dragon and sends it flying towards the warriors. On the other hand, Crusadermon sends out an array of her own ribbons towards the warrior pair.
"Breath of Wyvern!" Dynasmon cries out.
"I shall besmirch you, cretins!" Crusadermon exclaimed in retaliation.
Kaiser Greymon saw the monstrous energy dragon colliding towards him. He simply stood his ground and swung his sword overhead. He continued to swing it and was creating a massive gust of wind. The sword was being swung at super speed, which resulted in a wind that was strong enough to repel the dragon away. Dynasmon was caught in complete awe at the demonstration.
Meanwhile, Magna Garurumon was repelling Crusadermon's attacks. Each ribbon shot were cut down to size by the mega's ferocious offense.
"Curse those whelps!" Dynasmon exclaimed. "We can not even combine without exposure to a metallic environment! We must lure them back to the M-5 base!"
"Excuse me. You were planning to do what?" Kaiser Greymon spoke from behind the mutant knight.
Dynasmon quickly turns around and is met with a fist from Kaiser Greymon. Then, Crusadermon was met with the same fate from Magna Garurumon. The mutant digimon were sent plummeting towards the earth, but they managed to stop their fall. However, they found no traces of their adversaries.
"Damn! Where did they go?!" Dynasmon cries out. "I've lost trace of them."
"Same here, Dynasmon. Curse those, cretins! They attacked us without warning!"
"The next time they show their cowardly selves, we'll show them no mercy!"
Suddenly, the villains sensed the warriors' next position and prepared to attack. Unfortunately, they found no traces of the legendary warriors. Dynasmon turns around and finds Kaiser Greymon. With a loud battle cry, Kaiser Greymon swung his massive sword and cuts through Dynasmon's torso. The mutant screamed out in agony until his upper half slid off his lower body half. Crusadermon could only look on with anger until Magna Garurumon blasted her away with a massive energy shot. The rose-colored knight was sent skidding towards the dismembered Dynasmon. Suddenly, their bodies were starting to slowly break down and a pair of fractal codes appeared.
"Shall we, Kaiser Greymon?"
"Time to purify these two low lives."
"I wouldn't do that. You two are going to miss your flight back home!" Lady Moinanea cried out.
"You must hurry! Do not worry about these two. They will be sent to the other world," replied Seraphimon. "We thank you for everything."
"Be sure to remind Taichi and the others to return the black digital cores one day," the demigoddess spoke. "It would be in our best interest. Thank you."
"Don't worry. He'll make his wish eventually," Kaiser Greymon said. "This won't be the last time you'll ever see us."
"Take care of yourselves," replied Magna Garurumon.
"We will. Good luck children and may you have a safe journey," said Lady Moinanea.
The warrior duo nodded their heads and flew out towards the departing ships. One of which carried their own crew. Magna Garurumon and Kaiser Greymon quickly caught up with the ships in time.
Lady Moinanea and Seraphimon watched as the ships departed. Within a matter of moments, the ships had already disappeared through the heavens. The demigoddess wiped away a single tear from her eye and faces Seraphimon.
"Looks like we have a little cleaning up to do," she spoke.
"Yes, we must restore complete order to this world. I'm grateful you were not around to witness Lucemon's revival. It's wonderful that you will be restored to your respectful throne."
"Thank you, Seraphimon. Let us call forth Ophanimon and Cherubimon. There is a lot of work to accomplish."
Seraphimon led Lady Moinanea through his palace to discuss important matters, including complete restoration of the digital world's higher order. However, they were unaware of the creeping evil that lurked within hiding. A pile of silver slime came seething through the fallen bodies of Dynasmon and Crusadermon. The slime quickly materializes into the form of Bebimon. The mutant looks up to the heavens and senses out the departing digimon.
"I've found you…"
With that said, the mutant powers up and flies up with tremendous speed. He bursts through the heavens and the atmosphere. Bebimon found himself outside of the digital world's atmosphere and found a spaceship passing by the planet. A devious smirk formed on the mutant's face and he makes a jet-line towards the spaceship.
"Time to lure out those pests. This ship shall do nicely."
Elsewhere within digital space
The ships set off on the journey back towards the eastern sector of the digital universe. Their assignment task was complete and the four black digital cores were recovered.
Within their spaceship, Max and Tai kept their eye on the black digital cores. Tai's eyes were practically glazed over. Max picked up a digital core and examined it.
"So, are you sure these things will help restore your dad's age?" Keke asked Max.
"That's what I hear. These digicores grant you wishes. They've even managed to bring dead people back to life."
"Eww, that's just creepy."
"Don't worry about that. They don't come back as zombies or anything," Tai chuckled. "I have yet to kick the bucket."
"Have you really made up your mind by staying in that child form?" Kari asked. "I don't know if anyone would believe that an eleven-year kid is actually my older brother."
"Well, weirder things have happened," replied Gatomon. "Like when Tai offered Gosenzomon a chance to molest Mimi to help save the digital universe."
"Whoa… Whoa! You still remember that?!" Tai exclaimed. "I really hoped that you guys would have forgotten about that."
"I still can't believe you actually did that," Rika said.
"Pervert," Renamon muttered under a cough.
"Um, what's molest, Takato?" Guilmon asked.
"I'll tell you in a few years. You wouldn't understand."
"Hey, check it out! Takuya and the others are following us out," Agumon said.
"Good, that way they won't end up getting lost in space," said Max. "Hey, what are you doing, Davis?"
Max turns to find Davis and Veemon plopped onto a couch sleeping. Davis was practically snoring as loud as a volcano. Everyone covered their ears, until Renamon picks up a can of soda and hurls it towards Davis' forehead. Davis quickly sits up and panics.
"Whoa! What happened?! Who the hell hit me?"
"That ought to keep him awake."
"Hey, was it my snoring?" Davis asked.
"Geez, my dad and Davis should tag team to become the Snore Brothers," Max thought.
"Are we almost there yet?" Veemon asked while wiping his tired eyes.
"No, we still have long ways to go," Tai said. "Don't worry. We'll get there. Let's just hope nothing manages to interrupt our trip home."
Just as he said that, the ship's alarm started to go off and a specific pinpoint was detected on the computer grid. Agumon checks it over and looks towards the screen. There was a ship being detected near a burning star.
"You guys! You have to check this out. There's a wrecked ship in the middle of nowhere!" Agumon exclaimed.
"So, did you guys also get that warning?" a voice similar to Takuya spoke through a transmission.
"Takuya? What's going on out there?" Kari asked as she sat up front of the ship's controls.
"I don't know, but our ship's alarm went off and it was picking up some sort of energy signal coming from that ship."
"There seems to be some sort of life form still within that ship," another voice spoke and it belonged to Zoe.
"How much damage was inflicted on that ship?" asked Tai.
"We're not sure, but it looked like some tiny meteor impacts damaged the ship. We have to check this out and save whoever is within that ship."
"I'm right with you on this one, Takuya," Tai spoke. "Tell you what. We'll head over towards that ship and check it out."
"Cool. We'll meet you over there. Over and out."
Without any hesitation, Tai grabs several spacesuits from a hatchet door and tosses them on the floor. Kari and Max turn to find a pair of spacesuits in front of then, including one of suitable size for Max.
"How many of us do you want to accompany you?" Kari asked.
"As many as possible, though it would be best if some of you can stick around and guard the ship. Takato. Max. Davis. You guys want to come along?"
"Sure, you know we're there!" Davis exclaimed. "Right, Veemon?"
"As long as we don't have to sit around."
"Perfect. What do you say, Takato? Are you up for another moment of adventure?"
"Are you kidding me? Adventure is my middle name!"
Listening to Takato's comments, Rika covers her face in embarrassment and grumbles to herself. Renamon couldn't help but chuckle towards her partner.
"Takato, you just had to say it. That's what you get for hanging around too long with Davis and Tai."
"Ok, Kari. I'm leaving you girls here to stay to guard the ship. I hope I'm not being a male pig here."
"Don't worry, Tai. You guys just go and save that passenger," Gatomon said. "We'll take care of ourselves."
"We'll even pilot the ship and make sure you guys aboard safely," Keke said.
"Thanks, Keke," Max stated. "Well, guys. Looks like our job as heroes from far from finished. Though, I was kind of looking forward to getting back home."
"Let's move out!"
As time passes along, Tai's crew were already out of the ship and being dropped off over onto the wrecked ship's open hangar. The ship's doors were damaged by some small meteorites and the heat from the star was starting to take effect on it's overall condition. If Tai and the others are not careful, then they will be burnt to a crisp. They only had a few minutes to rescue the passenger.
"Tai. You guys are going to need to hurry," Kari spoke through Tai's communicator within his suit. "That star is emitting a strong gravitational force, which will pull that ship in. You better hurry and not waste any time."
"Got it. You hear that guys? We can't waste any time. Hell, I should remind myself of that. I'm the guy who takes all the risks."
Tai's crew quickly turned their attention of the wrecked ship towards ship containing Takuya and his friends. Of the six legendary heroes, Takuya, Kouji and Kouichi were the ones who came out to assist.
"Hey, guys! You need our help?" Kouichi said.
"You couldn't just leave us strangling behind," Takuya said.
"Not like we needed it, but we appreciate the assistance," Takato said.
"Ok, there's the wrecked ship. We only have a few minutes to board it, find the lone passenger, make sure that there aren't others aboard and we get the hell out of there."
"Yes, sir!" Davis exclaimed.
"Um, Davis. We're not in the military," Veemon said.
"Well, I had to say something. It's better to say something than to say anything at all."
"Ok, ok. That's enough of that. Let's get going. We're wasting time," Max stated promptly.
"Wait for us!" Davis and Veemon cried out in unison.
The entire male crew, excluding J.P. and Tommy, floated over towards the wrecked ship cautiously. They knew that there would risks. This includes avoiding the star's gravitational force. Anyone pulled in would ultimately become barbeque. Agumon and Guilmon were informed to avoid using their fire-based attacks since they might risk setting off the star's heat.
Agumon and Guilmon clawed through the door's metal covering. Veemon did the honors by headbutting the doors down. Each crewmember floated through the open doorway and found themselves within a hangar. Tai pointed out towards a door leading through a mess hall.
"Geez, this place is mess," said Takuya. "Hey, Tai. Are you sure there's only one passenger aboard?"
"There has to be at least some other survivors," Kouji said.
"Well, the ship was only able to trace one living form within the ship," said Max. "We're not even sure if it is accurate."
After a short conversation, the crew carried on with their mission. They walked down several corridors and into a mess hall. The digimon searched out the area to pick up the scent of any surviving passengers. Unfortunately, they weren't able to pick up a trace of anyone.
"Tai. We're not getting anything from here," Agumon said.
"What about you, Guilmon?" Takato asked his red partner. "You have the best nose. I bet you were able to pick up a scent."
"Um, sorry, Takato. I wasn't able… Huh?!"
Just then, Guilmon was able to pick up a scent of a digimon. He went running through a nearby corridor. Takato and the others eventually followed the crimson digimon. Once Guilmon put his nose onto something, then there would be no stopping him.
"Geez, you need to put him on a leash!" Takuya commented.
"Once Guilmon has his nose on something, then there is no stopping him," Veemon said.
"I hope you're leading us into the right direction," Takato said.
"I hope he doesn't lead us into some sort of snack bar," replied Max. "Though, I wouldn't mind a bite of a chocolate bar."
"Yeah. Me, too. But we have stay serious," Agumon said.
"I found it! I found it!" exclaimed Guilmon.
"What did you find, Guilmon?" Takato asked. "I hope you didn't lead us to a snack machine."
"Nah, but if you hurry then you'll be surprised."
With that said, the crew walked over to where Guilmon was pointing to. The sighed with relief as they found a person lying on a bed. Tai and Max walk over towards the bed to lift the individual up. The person had blue skin, green Mohawk hair and was wearing an orange space jumpsuit. His face was decorated from cuts and bruises as a result of the damage inflicted onto the ship.
"Good job, boy," Takato said. "I'll be sure to reward you once we get back to the ship."
"Yay! You're the best best, Takato!"
"Hey, are you okay buddy?" Tai said to the lone passenger.
However, he wasn't getting a response from the passenger. He was completely unconscious, but his heart was still beating. There was still a glimmer of hope for the passenger. Guilmon and the others could not find the scent of other passengers. He is indeed the sole survivor of the wrecked ship.
Suddenly, there was a sudden eruption from the right side of the ship. It seemed the star's gravitational forces was starting to drag the ship towards its scorching surface.
"Crap! We better get out of here!" Davis cried out. "This ship is about to be dragged into that star!"
"Right. Unless you guys don't want to become barbeque, you better haul ass!" Tai exclaimed.
"You don't have to tell us that twice!" Takuya responded.
The crew started retreating through the corridors and towards the hangar. Tai found the busted door and led his team through it. One by one, they found themselves outside of the wrecked ship and looked up to find their own.
"There's our tickets home," said Kouji said.
"Ok, guys. This is probably going to be the toughest part of this mission," Tai said. "Now listen. Takuya. Kouji. Kouichi. Are you guys able to spirit evolve in space?"
"Well, we did battle Lucemon outside of the Digital World. So, to be fair, we should be able to," Takuya said. "It's a risk we're willing to take."
"Ok. I want you to take this guy and place him within our ship," Tai said. "After that, Kouji and Kouichi will take each of us back to the ship."
"Got it. You hear that guys? We don't have time to lose," said Takuya. "Execute…"
"Spirit Evolution!" the trio exclaimed in unison.
After calling upon the power of their respective spirits, the boys found themselves transformed into their warrior forms. Agunimon, Lobomon and Loweemon floated in their places. To her satisfaction, they had no problems about surviving in space without oxygen. In fact, any digimon can survive outside of their atmosphere.
"Ok, I'm taking this little guy with me," Agunimon said while Tai handed him the unconscious lone survivor.
"Shouldn't your digimon survive in space?" Lobomon asked.
"Well, it never came to our attention," Takato said.
"Besides we had to be sure. That's why I asked you," Tai replied. "Okay, Max. I want you, Davis and Veemon to go with Kouichi. Kouji will lend a hand to Takato and Guilmon."
"What about you and Agumon, dad?"
"Don't worry. We'll follow ahead last. Agumon will digivolve into War Greymon and fly us towards the ship."
"Be careful."
"Hey, aren't I always, Max?"
As soon as Lobomon carried off Guilmon and Takato, Loweemon tagged along with Max, Davis and Veemon. Left behind were Tai and Agumon. They were planning to go on ahead as the last individuals. Tai nods over to Agumon.
"Let's do it, Agumon."
"You got it. Agumon warp shinka!"
Within a matter of moments, Agumon evolved into a massive, armored warrior with clawed gauntlets. War Greymon immediately snatches Tai around his arms and soars up towards their boarding ship. Suddenly, the mega was beginning to be pulled by the magnetic force the star was emitting. War Greymon struggled tightly as Agunimon flies out to grab the mega's hand.
"Agunimon!" Tai exclaimed.
"Don't worry, guys! I've got you!" Agunimon cried out.
"War Greymon! Time to boost it up!"
"Here goes nothing!"
With that said, War Greymon boosts up his power and quickly pushes himself forward into their ship. Agunimon sighs a relief and flies over towards his boarding ship. Tai was flung across the inside of the ship and lands on top of Takato. War Greymon quickly de-digivolves back to Agumon.
"Whoa! How about a little warning next time?" Takato remarked.
"Sorry, about that. I wasn't aware that I was going to end up like this," replied Tai.
"Everything is clear to go," Kari replied. "Takuya and the others are fine."
"Hey, check it out you guys!" Max pointed out towards the wrecked ship. "It's getting pulled into that star!"
The crew viewed the scene as the wrecked ship was immediately being pulled directly into the star. They were astonished but, at the same time, relieved. Tai wiped his forehead.
"It's a good thing we managed to escape intact," Tai said. "Are you guys all right?"
"Never been better!" answered Davis. "Let's do that again, sometime!"
"Davis, to you, everything is fun," Gatomon muttered under her breath.
"You guys! Aren't you forgetting someone? This kid we just saved," Keke said. "I can't believe how thoughtless you can be."
"I was just getting to that," Tai said.
"How is he doing?" asked Max. "Has he managed to regain consciousness?"
"No. I tried everything. I even put a chocolate bar over his nose," the girl replied. "He's going to need some help. Hey, guys. Let's send in a radio transmission to any local planet. There should be a habitable planet with a hospital."
"Haven't you forgotten? This side of the digital cosmos is practically deserted, because of that Lucemon creep," Rika stated. "We haven't been fortunate enough to run into another planet."
"We'd be lucky if there was another planet," stated Kari. "But, I'll do everything I can."
"Be sure to let Takuya and the others know," Agumon said.
"Right."
The unconscious digimon was laid on a couch with a blanket covering him. Keke stood watch over the helpless child while Max runs to grab a towel soaked with water. He hands it over to Keke.
"Thanks, Max."
"Um, no problem…"
The young girl puts the soaked cloth over the boy's forehead and continues to watch over him. Max sits next to Keke with an exhausted look on his face.
"You feeling all right, Max?"
"Yeah. I'm just a little light headed after that trip from the ship. I'm so glad we rescued this guy."
"I know. It would have been a horrible end for this poor kid. I hope there's a planet with a suitable hospital. He really needs it."
Suddenly, Guilmon hunches over towards the sleeping boy and sniffs him. It seemed something was bothering the crimson reptile, because his eyes were turning viral. Max took notice of this and puts his hand over Guilmon's head.
"What's the matter, Guilmon? It's okay. He's not an enemy."
"Sorry, about that. How is he doing?"
"We won't know until we get him some treatment," Keke replied. "I just hope we're not too late."
"You guys! I just received a call from Takuya!" Kari calls out to the entire crew.
"And? What did he say?" Tai asked.
"He and the others were able to make contact with a planet within this region. It seems that there is another planet within this side of the digital cosmos."
"That's great, Kari. Just let us know about its coordinates," said Takato.
"No problem. I'm right on it."
"That's great news! Isn't it, dad?" Max asked.
Tai nodded with enthusiasm. Max turns his attention over the sleeping boy laid his head onto Keke's shoulder.
"Wake me up when we get there," Max murmured.
"Uh… Um, okay…"
Later, Kari was fortunate to make contact with Takuya and she had received the exact coordinates to the planet known as Yvsera. She was told that it contained the best known health care facility from the western section of the digital cosmos.
"Good," Kari said. "Okay, guys. I'm taking us over to Planet Yvsera! Takuya and the others are going to meet us there. Hang on tight."
"I really hope that they have some good hospital food," Agumon thought.
"Make way for me! Time to raid the cafeteria!" Veemon said in thought with slobber coming down his mouth.
"Please let them have bread! Please let them have bread!" thought Guilmon.
The ships distanced themselves from their long trip and took another turn. This time their next destination was towards an earth-sized planet ahead of them. This was Planet Yvsera. It looked exactly like earth in nature except that it's atmosphere was much more clearer. The ships made their way over through the planet's orbit and slowly plunged through the atmosphere without any delay.
Planet Yvsera. 2:35 P.M. Earth Hours
Within half an hour, the spaceships landed near a launch pad facility. Everyone aboard the ships left. Tai and his crew scurried over towards the health care facility with the injured boy in their custody. Keke and Kari helped to carry the boy over to several available nurses, who were in fact several Lillymon.
"Nurses! We have an emergency! This boy is in need of care!" Keke calls out.
"Oh, so you were the people who contacted us just over an hour ago," one of the nurses spoke up.
"Yes! We're the ones!" Kari said.
"Can you ladies please take him inside? I don't know how long he's going to pull through without medical attention," Zoe said.
"Don't worry. You can leave everything to us," the nurses replied.
The crew handed the boy over to the nurses. A cart was being pulled in and the boy was placed onto the cart. With the boy being tended to by the nurses, both crew teams were told to wait in the lobby area.
"Hello, nurses!" Veemon whistled.
"Veemon. Are you trying to embarrass me?" Davis whispered. "Keep it down…"
"I can't help it if they're total babes."
"Ugh, digi-men," Gatomon muttered.
"Remind me to never get into a relationship," replied Renamon.
"Hey, Guilmon! I say we go raid the cafeteria!" Agumon said.
"Yeah! I'm getting pretty hungry!"
"Hey, don't you think it's been a while since we've had a good meal?" Davis asked.
"I'm pretty much starving myself," said Takato.
"You're right. It wouldn't hurt passing some time in the cafeteria," Kari said.
"You know I'm there!" Tai exclaimed and ran towards the cafeteria doorways without hesitation.
"Wait for me, dad!" Max calls out.
"Like father, like son, they are so alike," said Rika. "But, I have to admit. I could go for some food."
"It's settled then. We're raiding the cafeteria!" Takuya exclaimed. "Um, where did JP go?"
"He and Tommy just beat us there," Zoe answered.
"Oh, hell no! I call dibs on the ice cream!" Takuya exclaimed.
"Excuse me, everyone!" a sluggish voice calls out.
Everyone turned around to find an Ogremon in a doctor's outfit. Tai and Agumon quickly recognized his face. They took a step back.
"Whoa! It's Ogremon! So, have you disguised yourself as a doctor to get your revenge on us?!" Tai calls out.
"Yeah! You were planning to attack us when our guards are down!" Agumon replied in defense.
"Whoa. Whoa. I don't even know you two. There must be some misunderstanding. I've been a doctor in this facility for a long time."
"You guys. This isn't the same Ogremon," Kari said. "Take it easy."
"Damn, but he looks like that creep Ogremon. Sorry for the mix-up, doc," Tai said.
"You told me about Ogremon from File Island," Max said. "Are you sure it's not the same one?"
"Unless he hit his head really hard, lost his memory, traveled to his planet by ship and took a career in medical care, then no. This isn't the same Ogremon," Gatomon replied.
"I'm sorry if I happened to have startled you, but are you the ones who brought that injured boy?"
"Yes, we are," Kari replied.
"Ok, then. I have some good news. He's in the recovery room as we speak. He should do fine, but he will need plenty of bed rest. I can ensure you that we are the best medical facility within the digital cosmos. He will be taken care of."
"Thanks for everything, doc," Tai said. "Are we welcome to eat at your cafeteria while you guys check on the boy's condition?"
"Yes, you are more than welcome to…"
"YIPEE!" the boys cheered as they scurried off towards the cafeteria.
Ogremon and the female crew were left behind with dumbfounded looks.
"Sorry about that, doc. They always get like that when they're hungry," replied Rika.
"If you excuse us, we'll be joining them," Kari said with a bow.
"Um… Yes… Enjoy the meals…"
With that said, Ogremon walks away and scratched his head in surprise. He was still a bit taken back by Tai and Agumon's sudden outrage.
"Do these humans always react to faces like this? Maybe I ought to have my face rearranged. No, then I'll end up on one of those crappy digi-reality shows…"
Recovery Room. 4:05 P.M.
Meanwhile, a Floramon nurse was checking on the boy's heart rate through the infirmary's computer. The boy's heart level was steady for the time being, since he was in a resting state. She quickly turns her attention away and washes her hands.
As the nurse was preoccupied, the boy's eyes quickly opened and they emitted a light purple glow. He quickly sat up from his bed and scanned the area. The nurse took notice of this and calls out to him.
"Young man. You shouldn't be sitting like that. You need to get some rest."
The boy turns around and gives off a creepy smile. The nurse stood frightened and watched as the boy's eyes sent an invisible force wave. This caused the computer screens to shatter and the equipment to malfunction. The nurse runs out of the room as the entire room was destroyed in the process.
"Help me! We have a situation! Emergency!" the nurse shrieks in horror.
Just before they headed towards the cafeteria, Kari and the girls watched as the nurse ran out. They were even more shocked as flames came shooting out from the hallways.
"Oh my god! What the hell just happened here?!" Kari exclaimed.
"Renamon! Check it out!" Rika ordered her partner into action.
"I'm on it!"
"Time to blow out these flames!" Zoe calls out. "Execute! Spirit Evolution!"
With that said, Zoe became engulfed by a lavender barrier and was transformed into the ever sultry Kazemon.
"Kazemon!"
"Gatomon! You go and lend Renamon a hand!" Kari said.
"You got it!"
"I just hope that boy didn't get caught in that explosion," Rika said.
"Don't worry. Our partners are on the move. Zoe is going to be there to help them," Kari assured the teen.
As soon as Kazemon and Renamon reached the emergency room, the boy was seen lying on the ground. He seemed to have lost consciousness due to the smoke. Gatomon crawls over and drags the boy away from the flames. Within moments, a group of Honeybeemon rushed in with a Shellmon. The aquatic behemoth did his part by extinguishing the fire with his water-based elements.
"Whew, that was relief," Kazemon said. "Is the kid all right?"
"He'll be fine, but that smoke really knocked him out. We have to let the doctor know right away!"
"Just leave that to me," Renamon replied.
The yellow vulpine vanished out from sight and searches the hospital for the doctor. Kari and Rika surveyed the area to make sure every known digimon were safe from harm's way.
"My god. I am so glad everyone is fine," Kari said. "Gatomon! We have to get the kid to another emergency room!"
"Renamon is out looking for the doc. Don't worry. He'll be well taken care of," replied Kazemon.
"C'mon, Kari. Let's let the guys know about…"
"Know about the situation?" Takato's voice spoke out from the crowd.
"Takato?! Did you hear everything about the accident?" Rika asked.
"Know about it? We heard the explosion. Guilmon and the digimon sensed a heavy vibration coming from this point."
"Is everyone all right?" Tai asked.
"We're fine, but this kid really needs help. I barely pulled him out of that emergency room," said Gatomon.
"That's a relief. We still haven't gotten our fills, but this was an emergency," Takuya said.
Just then, there was slight whimpering and the source was directly from the Floramon nurse. This was the exact nurse, who tended to the injured boy's care. She started to claim that the boy was possessed. Agumon overheard this and took it to consideration.
"What is she so worked up about?"
"It was horrible! The boy… Something possessed that boy… It caused… it…"
"What is she talking about? Something is not right here."Agumon said in thought.
"What's the matter, Agumon?" a concerned Max questioned the reptile digimon.
"That nurse. Something must have riled her up from that explosion. I can't explain it though. This was obviously no accident."
"Then, could Bebimon have found us by now? Dad claimed that he was a goner, but I'm not so sure about that," the boy thought.
As soon as Max's thoughts were interuppted, Ogremon came rushing to the scene with Renamon. He kneeled over to place the boy in a wheel chair provided by another nurse. The boy still seemed to be completely unconscious.
"Thank you for warning me! Who could have caused this accident?" Ogremon wondered. "I thank you, kind humans. PLease, help yourselves at our cafeteria. It's the largest on the planet and the only facility to find a good place to eat."
"You mean you don't have any restaurants?!" JP asked frantically.
"I'm afraid not," a Lillymon nurse spoke. "But this facility has the best known chefs on the planet. You won't be disappointed. You'll find that we have the largest meal selections."
"That's good to know," Veemon said. "Now we can really raid their cafeteria, Davis!"
"You said it. I'm already slobbering just thinking about their food selections."
"Control yourselves, you two," Gatomon said.
"Please, leave this child with us. We'll be sure to take care of him. Don't be shy. The food court is available at any time," the nurse stated.
"Thank you for your hospitality!" the crew said in unison.
As soon as the crew turned towards the cafeteria area, the boy slowly lifted his head and opened his eyes. He could barely remember what had happened to him a few moments ago. Ogremon was carting the boy towards a room reserved for one patient. He could hardly believe that he was saved from certain disaster in space and brought into a safe environment, such as the one he was in now.
"It's all right, boy. You're in good hands," the doctor said.
"I'm… in good hands?" the boy wondered.
Suddenly, a slight vibration pressed against the boy's chest and his mind was being overtaken. The presence of Bebimon was overwhelming the boy. He slightly chuckled under his breath and his voice became rasp-like.
"Ha. These fools don't realize that it is I who is borrowing this helpless lad's body. It's only a matter of time before I make my move towards those insolent humans. I'll take over any one of their digimon's bodies."
The doctor placed the boy onto his resting bed and covered him with his sheets. The boy reached over towards doctor's laboratory coat and held tightly.
"What's the matter, son?"
"Sir, where are those children. You know the ones who saved me…"
"They are in our cafeteria. Would you like for me to inform them on your condition?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact… Why don't I come along?!"
Suddenly, the boy's voice transformed with a deep, sinister tone and his eyes were emitting a crimson glow. He snatches the doctor by his throat and started to squeeze the life right out of him.
"What… are you… doing?!"
"I'm transferring myself into your body. Now this won't hurt too much, doc…"
With that said, Bebimon emerged from the boy's mouth as a silvery liquid substance and attached himself onto the doctor. Ogremon thrashed about as Bebimon seethed through his skin. The creature began to manifest himself within Ogremon and completely taken him over. The boy collapsed onto his bed, while Ogremon walked out from the room. He turns his attention over towards the cafeteria and smirked.
"Finally, now it's time to get a little retribution. Prepare yourselves, humans."
Earth. Outskirts of the Shinjuku District
The situation with Bebimon may be far from finished, but there was another issue that was left unresolved. It was the mystery behind Cyberdramon. It was hinted that a great force was plaguing Cyberdramon and seemed to have renewed interest in revealing itself. What could be this unforgiving force that holds possession of Cyberdramon's own well-being?
Fortunately, the Tamer of this ominous beast has been extra cautious and planned on investigating this matter on his own. Much to his efforts, he has been unsuccessful in finding out the truth. Cyberdramon still remained a mystery to him for years.
His train of thoughts was quickly interrupted as a voice came calling out. Ryo turned to find Ken walking out from the open.
"Ken? How did you find us?"
"Well, you aren't too difficult to find? Plus, Wormmon was able to track down your partner."
"So, you're really coming along with your training as a detective."
"You could say that."
"I know you didn't come here to tell me that, did you?"
"Unfortunately, no. I'm curious to know."
"What?"
"It mainly has something to do with Cyberdramon. Tell me. Have you been getting some awfully weird dreams recently?"
"Weird dreams?"
"I visualized myself as a boy and there was another boy. He looked exactly like you, Ryo. I said to myself that it was merely just a coincidence. But now I know that it wasn't. That boy looked like you, Ryo."
Ryo couldn't understand what Ken was telling him. He has never had any dreams with himself and Ken. He barely even knew Ken during the time of the D-Reaper crisis five years ago. Ryo's memories remained cloudy without any trace or images of the dream Ken mentioned.
"No, Ken. I haven't. Why do you ask?"
"Because it might have something to do with Cyberdramon."
"With Cyberdramon?"
"Yes. I don't know what it is, but Cyberdramon seems to know what I'm talking about. Isn't that right? Cyberdramon?"
Ken turns his attention over to Cyberdramon, but the ultimate didn't seem to notice the soon to be detective. Wormmon crawls over towards the behemoth and attempts to communicate with him. Cyberdramon simply did not want to answer any questions and remained still.
"He sure knows how to start a conversation," Wormmon said cynically.
"Let's leave him alone, Wormmon," Ken said. "Obviously, he doesn't feel like giving us any straight answers. Ryo, just make sure to keep an eye on him."
"I'll do what I can. Sorry about that. Cyberdramon usually doesn't like being confronted with questions."
"It's all right. I'm sure something will come up. We'll see you later, Ryo."
"Bye, Ken."
As soon as Ken and Wormmon disappeared from sight, Cyberdramon turned and sighed deeply. Ryo walked over and picked up a stone. He threw it across a nearby puddle, which diverted Cyberdramon's attention. The beast growled deeply while several thoughts clouded his enigmatic mind.
"That was close. That young man with the Wormmon was getting way too suspicious. Yes, I remember the face of the young man. He looked exactly like the boy who accompanied Ryo. It's only a matter of time. I shall break free of his shell and release myself once and for all. Then I shall challenge the warrior named Omega X. He had better prove to be a worth opponent. He will know the true meaning of true and destruction. The winds of fate are changing, warrior… Our eventual meet shall come…"
Cyberdramon looked up towards the heavens as a small wind brushed against his face. Ryo sat next to his partner and closed his eyes. Rest was what these two needed after the hassle Cyberdramon has endured recently.
However, they weren't the ones who helped volunteer to search for the remaining black digicores. It was a good thing that they didn't go, since Cyberdramon's antics would cause a distraction for the crew. Besides, they were unaware that their newest enemy, Bebimon, was waiting in the lurks.
Western Digital Cosmos. Planet Yvsera. 5:05 P.M. Earth Hours
Back on Planet Yvsera, the situation was beginning to take another turn for the worst. Unaware of his arrival, Tai and his crew were carelessly munching away at the cafeteria. They were unaware of Bebimon's presence and had no defense against such an invisible enemy. Even the digimon had trouble seeking out Bebimon's ki.
"Oh man! That was some good food!" Takuya said. "This is better than some of the crap from our hospitals."
"Did you get your fills, Max?" Tai asked.
"You bet. Let's be thankful Tike and Kara stayed home."
"How come?" Tommy asked.
"Well, they would have practically put this cafeteria out of business. They could eat and eat for hours."
"Plus, they don't have very good manners," Keke said.
"Ah, I just ate twelve plates!" Zoe said. "How about another?"
"How about not? I can't imagine how big our bill is going to come to," Kouji muttered.
"That's it! Zoe stays to wash the dishes!" the boys exclaimed.
"Over my dead body!" the blonde girl cries out.
"The bill is on us," the doctor's voice was heard from a distance.
"Oh, hey there, doc!" Takato said. "So, our food was for free?"
"After the heroic acts you displayed saving our patients, I felt that you humans earned it," the doctor replied.
"It was nothing really," Kari said. "But we thank you for your hospitality."
"Yes, that's all and well. By the way, I overheard one of you were interested in our nursing facilities."
"That would be me," Kari said.
"How about I give you a tour of our entire facility?"
"That would be great. C'mon, Gatomon. This ought to be fun."
"Hold on. Let me finish this last piece of pie."
"Oh, you and your appetite," Kari muttered.
"Perfect. I sense an enormous amount of power from that Gatomon. I'll take her body."
"Um, sir. We're ready for that tour."
"Oh, right this way ladies," the doctor spoke. "This way."
Ogremon led Kari and Gatomon down a long hallway out from the cafeteria. They were being leading down towards the nursing section of the hospital. Max felt rather uneasy about the situation.
"Dad. We should keep an eye on the doc. Agumon and I have been getting some strange vibes. It's been making us uncomfortable."
"Are you sure, Max? He didn't seem too bad. Remember, this is not the same Ogremon from File Island. You're worrying too much."
"No, he's right. I was feeling a rather weird energy signal from the doctor," replied Agumon. "I say we go and check on them. Let's just be on the safe side."
"Ok, if it makes you two happy. Let's go guys. We're following the doc," Tai said. "Besides, we're not going to gain anything just by sitting here."
"Um, sure," Takato replied. "But, why should we follow the doc?"
"Because there's something about the doc that's troubling us," Max said. "We'll explain later. C'mon, let's go. Aunt Kari could be in possible danger."
Nursing Facility
Screams were echoing from within the nursing facility. Those cries were coming from Kari. The young woman was seen being pressed against the wall as Ogremon snatched her by the throat. Gatomon leaped up and started biting away at the doctor's face.
"Let her go, bastard!" Gatomon hissed.
"What's the… meaning of this?" Kari asked under small breaths. "Why are you attacking me?"
"Because you have something I need," the doctor's voice spoke in a sinister. "Remember me, human?"
The girl's eyes widened as she looked back to Bebimon. She remembered that same vile creature, who emerged from his slumber on M-5. She even remembered Max hinting on Bebimon surviving the encounter. She even doubted her own nephew. Now she regretted ever doubting Max. Bebimon emerged through the doctor's skin and let his body drop to the floor. Bebimon maintained his tight grip on the helpless girl. Her face was now turning a pink fade color.
"You're not the doctor! You're an imposter! What have you done to the doctor?! I should have listened to Max. How could I let such a dark force slip past me? How can I be so stupid?"
"Your own stupidity will cost your life. After I crush your throat and leave you for dead, I'm going to take over your partner's body."
"Over my dead body!" Gatomon cries out. "Let her go!"
"If you wanted a dead body, then you should have simply just asked politely!" Bebimon hissed. "One dead body coming up…"
"Pepper Breath/Pyro Sphere/Pyro Tornado!"
Suddenly, Bebimon was met with an array of fire-based attacks from the digimon themselves. The creature was sent sailing back, until Veemon came out of nowhere.
"V-Head butt!"
The blue dragon rookie nails Bebimon with a massive headshot, which knocked the creature backwards. Bebimon lands hard, but manages to recover. He sat up facing the entire crew. Among them, Tai, Takato, Davis and Agunimon stood at the front center.
"What? But how did you know?"
"Our digimon are not stupid, Bebimon," Takato spoke out. "They were able to pick up your energy signal."
"It's no use trying to hide within a helpless digimon's body," Tai said. "You can thank my son and digimon friend for that. They sensed you out."
"Those two?! Damn them!" cursed Bebimon.
"So, why don't you just surrender? We have you surrounded," Davis threatened. "You can't beat all of us at once."
"We'll see about that incompetent human! I will not fail!" Bebimon screamed.
With that said, Bebimon quickly transmuted his body into a liquid substance and pounces up towards the ceiling. The crew stood their ground as Bebimon came plummeting down. He went to attack the digimon without any hesitation. Unfortunately, his attack backfired as Agumon leaped up and fire another Pepper Breath. The fire blast had enough force to blast Bebimon into liquid fragments. Each fragment plopped onto the ground and pieced themselves back together. Bebimon was eventually reformed.
"That was a nice try, pal. You almost had us worried there, but you're going to have to come up with better strategy. If Agumon can take you down now, I can't imagine what everyone of our digimon will do to you," Tai said.
"We're giving you another chance to surrender," Agunimon said. "Or else we're going to barbeque your ass."
"I can't believe he actually survived," Keke said. "I thought we wasted him."
"This gives you another reason to never underestimate our enemy," replied Max.
"Ugh, I can't stand looking at this guy. He sickens me," Zoe said.
"This little squirt is supposed to possess the most threatening force in the digital cosmos? Give me break. I've seen hamsters more menacing than this guy," JP muttered.
"You'll regret your comments, human!"
Suddenly, the creature found himself surrounded by the digimon. They were preparing to attack Bebimon before he has a chance to snatch a body. Agumon and Guilmon prepared to summon their fire attacks.
"This is your last chance, Bebimon. Surrender or die! Better yet. You put your hands on my sister. I won't forgive you for that. Waste this punk," Tai said.
Just then, Bebimon had seen enough and quickly emitted a blinding flash of light from his very own eyes. This caught the digimon by surprise and thus quickly blinded their visions. Followed by that, Bebimon unleashed a powerful energy wave, which scattered everyone across the entire room. Gatomon bumped hard against a doorpost and caused a deep cut to form on her right arm.
"Gatomon!" Kari calls out. "You're cut!"
"Don't worry. It's just a little scratch…"
"Perfect! This is now my chance!"
With those thoughts in mind, Bebimon transmuted into a silver liquid puddle and slivered over towards Gatomon. The creature quickly seethed through Gatomon's cut and quickly overtaken her body. Kari rushes over towards her fallen friend.
"Gatomon! Are you all right?!"
"Aunt Kari! Get away from her!" Max calls out.
"Too late!" Gatomon chuckled.
The feline digimon leaped up and slashed at Kari. Tai rushes over and pushes Kari aside. Gatomon looks over and fires an energy beam from her own eyes. Agumon and Guilmon were able to intercept the blast by leaping out in front of their friends. Renamon phases behind Gatomon and picks her up.
"Unhand me, now! I'll kill you!"
"I don't think so. Set Gatomon free monster," Renamon said.
"Please, don't kill her!" Kari cried out.
"Don't worry. It won't come down to that. Trust me," Rika said.
"Lighting Claw!" Gatomon cries out.
The feline was successful by slashing Renamon and delviers an elbow to her face. Gatomon leaps away and prepares for another offensive assault.
"Now to end this… What? What are you doing?! You can't take control of your body!"
Suddenly, Gatomon started to tremble and grasped herself tightly. She unleashed a horrifying scream, which caused the every form of glass to shatter. The digimon watched as Gatomon was attempting to fight off Bebimon from out of her body.
"Get out of my body, Bebimon! I will not be under your control!"
With that said, Gatomon's body emitted a bright pink aura and thus forced Bebimon out. The light was able to overcome the darkness. Bebimon found himself vulnerable without a body to possess.
"No! She resisted me! I'm not even strong enough to control a high tier champion level? No matter. I'll continue to possess other lower level life forms to collect more energy. Now I must find some means to escape."
With luck, Bebimon traced a nearby ventilation door and quickly fired an energy blast through the vent door. He immediately made his way through and disappeared into the vent systems. The digimon were the first to find out where the creature had escaped.
"Tai! He's escaped through the ventilation system! I say we spread out and try to find his whereabouts!" Agumon said.
"Right! You heard him, everyone! Let's spread out. If you see him, don't attack him. There's no point giving your body away for him."
"You heard the man, you guys," Takato said. "Let's move out! C'mon!"
"Are you going to be okay, Aunt Kari?" asked Max.
Kari slowly sits up from the floor and lifted Gatomon in her arms. She nods in reply to her nephew's answer.
"C'mon! If we catch him, then we can put a stop to his crazy antics!" Keke calls out.
"Hopefully, he hasn't already possessed another body by now," Tai said in thought.
Outside of the Medical Facility. Near a Trailmom Station
A local Trailmon station was near the medical facility. Takato, Rika and their partners ran out to find a large number of digimon waiting in line for their train stop.
"Ugh! He's gotten away!" Rika said. "Are you able to pick up his presence, Renamon?"
"No. He's hiding his energy signal. There is no way we will find him at this point," the vulpine said.
"We should get back and inform Tai on the situation. This really bites," Takato stated.
"We'll get him next time, Takato. I promise," Guilmon said to his partner.
"I know. We'll get him next time."
Meanwhile, a Worm Trailmon came passing by the Tamers and started to slow down towards its official stop. A large number of digimon passengers started to gather inside the train. Unknown to them, Bebimon had taken over the body of a Swanmon. The possessed digimon boarded the train and proceeded to sit at a seat.
"All aboard! We're now going to be passing through the human realm in order to take a passage through those digital portals. Our destined stop will be over to the Digital World of the Western sector! So, um, buckle up. Yeah… Screw it… Off we go!"
The Worm Trailmon closed its doors and started moving out towards the distance. The next stop was a long way from Planet Yvsera. The Tamers and Digi-Destined failed to locate Bebimon. Now Bebimon has his sights set on the human realm.
"Yes, the human realm shall be my next stop. I'll simply possess everyone aboard this Trailmon and gather as much energy available. Maybe if I were to go to the human realm, I would draw out the attention of those human idiots. That goes double for that damn Taichi boy. Ah, Earth. It shall be my newest nest to build my hive."
Laughter echoed from within the Swanmon. The Swanmon proceeded to attack every other digimon aboard. Bebimon emerged from the Swanmon and began to infest every digimon body available. Screams were heard abroad, even though the Trailmon didn't bother noticing.
"What's with all the screaming? Jeez, it's not like it's a damn roller coaster. Oh well. At least I enjoy what I do best. Trailmon just don't get respect from their customers these days."
Outside of the Medical Facility
Tai and his entire crew met up over outside of the medical facility. Each party had failed to find Bebimon. Takato informed Tai about the conditions of the doctor and the boy. It seemed they were still in good health despite being infected by Bebimon. Kari helped to treat Gatomon's wounds with some success.
"Damn, we let slip by! Don't worry, guys. Next time, he won't be so lucky," Tai said.
"So, what now? Are we leaving this planet to get back home?" Takuya asked.
"Duh," Zoe remarked. "I can't wait tog et back home."
"First we have to go and see Azulongmon," replied Agumon. We'll inform him on our successful mission and he'll be sure to let Shintomon that we captured the four black digicores."
"Shucks and I was just about to go for seconds at that cafeteria," Davis said.
"Davis. Let's get serious here! That thing almost tried to take over Gatomon. Just be glad Veemon was lucky not to be infected," Kari snapped. "Sorry, I shouldn't have snapped… I can't forgive Bebimon for this."
"Don't worry. If he has any guts, he'll show himself once we get back home," Tai said.
"We'll be ready to kick his tail. Right, dad?" Max asked.
"You can count on it. You hear that, Bebimon?! We're coming for you!"
Trailmon Trip towards Earth's Realm
Bebimon had already absorbed every ounce of energy from each digimon passenger. Trailmon was unaware of the situation at hand. He continued his passageway through the digital portal into the Earth realm. Bebimon sat on a chair with a sinister smirk.
"Finally, my stop is here. I reckon this is the passage through Earth's realm? Stop to depart from this vessel!"
Bebimon opened up a window and quickly leaps off. Despite the fast pace the Trailmon was traveling, Bebimon landed on a train stop with little effort. He looked about with curiosity. He was now within a train stop within the Shinjuku District. This was the exact same area where Santiramon, the snake deva, attacked many innocent lives.
"Yes, this shall be my new home. Now to find another body to help replenish my energy. Once I gather as much power from any available digimon, then I'll seek out the strongest digimon and take over his body. Won't Taichi be surprised to know that I've decided to infest his own planet?! Ha! I can already savor victory!"
Now with Bebimon on Earth, can our heroes make it home in time to stop him? Who does Bebimon plan on infecting next?

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
Bebimon Arrives on Earth! Look Out Everyone!
Eastern Shinjuku District. Subway Entrance.
Shinjuku. Nothing has changed ever since its reconstruction after the D-Reaper fiasco. The people have moved on with their lives and tried to forget that such events had occurred. Since then, there hasn't been an evil force that has set their sights on the defenseless cities. That is until now…
There were reports of people found unconscious in the tunnels of the city. It seemed something had sapped away their energy and put them into comas. Though, there was no exact evidence of an attacker. The local authorities were trying to do their best to start investigations. Little did they realize that the perpetrator was in the form of a certain mutant. Bebimon was now hiding amongst the citizens within the Shinjuku district.
Fortunately for him, Bebimon has discovered several sightings of bio-emergences. This was the perfect opportunity for him to find a body and possess it.
The mutant digimon crawled across a pipe way and located a digimon walking out from a thickening fog. Bebimon looked across and found a Karatenmon. The crow-like warrior viewed his surroundings and took his first steps into a new environment. He was unaware of what he was getting himself into. The human realm was definitely an unpredictable world. However, he wasn't aware that a certain parasitic villain was lurking within the darkness.
Karatenmon quickly sensed out a presence and drew out his swords. He leaps up and steps into a defensive position.
"Who goes there?! Show yourself!"
His voice echoed through the tunnels and was answered by a wicked laughter. It was wicked and frightening enough to scare a grown military soldier. A pair of red eyes was seen penetrating through the pitch darkness. The laughter was deep, sinister, but filled with spite malice.
"I can sense the fear from you. Yes, you have every right to be afraid."
"Who are you?! Show yourself, coward!"
"Ah, that wasn't very nice. I was just about to let you off the hook. But, alas, I have no choice but you take your body. You shall help me find the strongest digital life form in this retched human waste dump. I know there are other digimon in this realm. I can sense them. Yes, you shall be my vessel! Lend me your body!"
With that said, Karatenmon found himself surrounded by a massive blob of silver liquid. Bebimon had transmuted himself into a gigantic mouth. The mutant engulfs the bird digimon and absorbed through his body. Karatenmon screams echoed throughout the tunnels while his body was immediately being taken over by the parasitic mutant.
The ninja bird slowly rose to his feet while being in complete control. He waved his hands and stretched parts of his body.
"I suppose this body will just have to do for now. I'll get by these humans without being detected. But first, I must seek out every digimon that resides within this realm. I shall seek the strongest of the bunch and claim their bodies for myself. Then, once Taichi and his ignorant allies return home, they shall be dealing with a fully powered Bebimon. I can't wait! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
With one swift motion, the Bebimon-possessed Karatenmon busts through a tunnel door. He scurried over and found a pipeline leading towards the outside of Shinjuku city. He uses his swords to bust through the caved walls and found himself outside of a waterway system.
"Humans. What a retched world they inhabit. In order to make this my new home, I'll have to convert these mammals under my control. Yes, I shall get Taichi where it hurts. I'll take away his family and those close to him! Hurry on over, boy. You'll be pleased with the way I've renovated this world. I'll make them all despise and wish death upon you. Heh. Heh."
Deep within Shinjuku Park. 2:35 P.M.
The activity in Shinjuku Park was lively as ever. Children gathered to have fun at the playground or to perhaps group up to trade cards. Others came to relax and catch up on their naps. There were quite a dozen of couples strolling across different areas of the park.
Each couple found themselves private spots to make love. Too bad for them that nosey little kids always manage to barge in on their romantic moments.
Luckily for Jeri, she and her boyfriend, Pikkan, had no worries over any nosey children to interrupt their moments. Those little brats would have to answer to the Alterian the hard way. This goes double for those perverted teens. If they attempt to set their sets on the girl, Pikkan would literally murder them.
As Jeri sat on a chair looking out in the sun, Pikkan came walking towards her with two ice cream cones. The flavors of the ice cream were peanut butter raspberry almond crunch. Yes, it was a famous ice cream combo within the Shinjuku District and perhaps every child's favorite. Well, almost every one of them…
"Jeri, here you go," Pikkan said with care. "I hope you like peanut butter raspberry almond crunch."
"Oh, I love it. How did you know that it was my favorite?"
"I read your mind."
"Huh? You did?"
"Yeah. It's not too difficult for us, Alterians."
Pikkan sat down next to Jeri. The teenage girl started licking at the ice cream scoops. Looking on with satisfaction, Pikkan took a lick from his ice cream.
"How is it? Is this your first time eating ice cream?"
"Ha, don't be ridiculous. I just never tasted this flavor before. It's ok. They shouldn't have added too many almonds."
Jeri continued licking her ice cream while Pikkan lies back onto the grass. He glares up towards the skies and swallowed drops of his melting ice cream.
"She looks so innocent eating her ice cream. Despite this, I'm feeling a little uneasy. There's some form of disturbance within the earth's spirit. What could it be? I hope Leomon gets to this bottom of this. We have to know what we're up against."
"Pikkan? Pikkan?"
The Alterian's mind was off into another 'world', until Jeri's voice forced him to reply to her. Pikkan set his eyes back onto Jeri and swallowed his ice cream scoop whole.
"Are you okay? It seemed something was bothering you."
"It was just something on my mind."
"Oh. Well, I just thought something was bothering you."
"No. There isn't anything bothering me. But, I think we should be going. Let's go to your family's bakery."
"Ok, if you say so."
"Good. There's something I have to tell Leomon."
"If it's that important, then all right."
With that said, the pair sat up from their spot and headed out from the park. They were off towards the exit of the park entrance. Pikkan did not want to inform Jeri on the matter since he did not want to put her in harms way of this new threat.
Lurking through the brushes was a crow-like figure. It was none other than Bebimon-possessed Karatenmon. He peered through the brushes and kept a eye on Pikkan. He made sure to hide his ki, in order to conceal himself from Pikkan's keen senses.
"Finally, I've found a digital life form with an extraordinary power. It would be wise to take his body, but I want to broaden my horizons a little more. I'm sure that there are other options. Huh? What's this? I'm sensing more ki signals from another one."
The crow ninja turned towards his left direction to locate a blue-haired teen and a Terriermon. He spotted Henry Wong, a friend and ally to Takato and Rika. But his eyes were set on Terriermon. Bebimon had an opportunity to inhabit Terriermon's body and use it to his disposal.
"A Terriermon? Well, this has gotten a lot more interesting. I take it that he and the boy are allies to Taichi. It makes perfect sense. How convenient for me to have arrived in a world full of opportunity. I'll make good use of his body. Perhaps I'll gain information while I inhabit his body and find out who the strongest digital being resides in this realm."
"TERRIERMON!"
Karatenmon quickly phases out from sight as Terriermon scurried across the field with a batch of donuts. Henry looked across to find a man chasing after him.
"Hey, give me back those donuts, yo!"
"You snooze you lose, bub!" Terriermon chuckled while running away from the rather large man.
"Terriermon! What have you gotten yourself into now! I told you not to steal another man's donuts."
"Just pray that this guy isn't another Homer."
"I can't imagine that. This guy makes Homer look like a lightweight!"
"Um, Henry. I think we lost him. I knew fat guys wouldn't last long, but geez… He can forget about Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers."
As soon as they settled into an empty section of the park, Terriermon sat down and opened up the box of donuts. His eyes were in awe as he gazed upon a dozen glazed donuts. Terriermon's mouth drooled luscious snacks. Henry hunches over and snatches a donut from the box.
"Couldn't help it, Henry?"
"No way. Not over these. I can't resist it. Though, it was wrong for you to steal them. One of these days you're going to get caught."
"No way! I'm like a thief in the night! I'm faster than the wind and as quiet as a mouse!"
"But you eat like a pig and don't even bother chewing your food."
"Well, I can't help it if I'm a glutton. You ought eat more and put on some weight there, stick boy."
"I resent that, Terriermon."
The two shared a laugh while picking out several donuts to eat. However, they weren't aware that Karatenmon kept his sights on them.
"Yo, Henry. Pass along another. These donuts just aren't filling me up."
"You really have a bottomless pit of a stomach."
"Heh. Aren't I special?"
"Enjoy your meal while you can, boys. I'll make sure that it ends up being your last!"
As soon as he cleared his thoughts, Karatenmon removed his twin swords and glared through their reflections. He set his target on the duo with deadly intentions. Phase one of Bebimon's operation was clearly underway and he couldn't afford to fail. This was his opportunity to claim another body and locate the other digimon allies of Tai.
West Shinjuku Bridge
In the section where the famous Shinjuku Bridge stood, another Tamer was seen leaning against the bridge wall. The teen was a boy with a green cap and light brown hair. Yes, it was the ever so arrogant Tamer named Kazu. He wasn't alone. Accompanying him was another Tamer named Kenta and the goofball partner of his, Guardromon.
"Man, am I so bored?" Kenta muttered.
"You're telling me? I'm wondering when chumley and the guys are coming back," Kazu replied. "Guardromon. Do you if they are in anyway getting closer to home?"
"Huh? How should I know? They are too far off for me to tell. My sensors are on the fritz."
"Crap, you always need repairs."
"How about we go and get ourselves some slushies?" Kenta asked.
"That's a great idea, dude. Do you have any money?"
"Um, no. I thought you always carry change."
"Nope."
"You need to get a job, Kazu. What are we going to do once we get out of school?"
"Good question. I'm not even thinking about it right now. Let's enjoy our youth while it lasts."
"I guess so."
"Wait a second, fellas. I think I'm carrying some loose change," Guardromon said while emptying his cartridges. "Um, I think I had some change…"
"Great, I can't even depend on you for some change," Kazu muttered. "No slushies for us then. Let's rot out here in boredom."
Just then, a slight disturbance had caught Guardromon's attention. The machine digimon cries out in alert, while catching the boys' attention.
"Yo, what is it? Guardromon?" Kazu asked frantically.
"Was there another bank robbery? You better leave that to the pigs to handle the job," Kenta said.
"Look ahead! It's a digimon! It's a wild one," Guardromon said. "I didn't even detect the presence of a fog barrier."
"Strange. Normally any digimon ought to detect one. Maybe this one got shipped her illegally through a portal."
"Kazu, that's ridiculous," Kenta said.
"Ridiculous or not. I believe him," Guardromon stated otherwise. "Let's go check out this situation. Follow me, fellas!"
As soon as finished his sentence, Guardromon boosted his rocket boosters and glided down off of the bridge. The people looked on in awe as Guardromon landed at the center of the streets. His presence managed to clog up the traffic building up. Kazu and Kenta came running down the stairs to catch up to the machine.
"What do you see, Guardromon? Do you see him?"
"Negative, Kazu. Oh, dear. I've found him!"
Guardromon pointed out across towards a Mercedes and pinpointed the location of a large, reptilian creature. The monster looked very similar to an African chameleon. In fact, it was a digimon identified as Chameleomon. Without a doubt, it was a territorial animal, yet this particular Chameleomon was acting more aggressive than it should be.
"What the freak is that?!" Kenta asked frantically.
Kazu immediately reaches out for his D-3 and began to scan the Chameleomon.
(Chameleomon. Armor Type. Specialized attacks include the ability to blend in through the use of invisibility and the strong use of their tongue lash)
"This guys is an armor type. You should be able to take him, Guardromon," Kazu added.
"I'm right on it. Hey, you! I suggest you leave these people alone, invader! Unless you want my pythons to squeeze the life out of you!" Guardromon said as he flexed his arms.
"It's official. He's finally lost it," Kenta said. "He needs to cut down on TV."
"Guardromon! This isn't supposed to be the time to be flexing your guns! Do something to stop him!" Kazu calls out.
"Don't worry. I was just getting to that," Guardromon added. "As I was saying, fiend…"
The Chameleomon was not impressed and his eyes started to emit a bright, red glow. He hops off of the Mercedes and stared down Guardromon. The reptile began to speak in a deep, vile tone.
"Are you… an ally to Taichi?" the Chameleomon asked.
"Huh? What do you know about our friend Tai?" Guardromon asked. "Explain yourself."
"Yeah. This is purely a coincidence!" Kazu calls out. "Why ask us about Tai?"
"Heh. All I need to know if you happen to be allies to Taichi. If so, then prepare to meet your doom!"
With that said, the Chameleomon's eyes shot out a single beam and targeted Guardromon. The machine quickly dodges to the side and puts out his arms. He shot out twin missiles as retaliation.
"Guardian Barrage!"
The missiles nail Chameleomon and sent him skidding across the street. The crowds started to flee in the masses. Guardromon charged out to locate Chameleomon's whereabouts. The reptile seemed to have vanished via invisible camouflage. However, Guardromon started scanning through the area and picked up the reptile's presence. Chameleomon's camouflage proved useless against Guardromon.
"It's useless, fiend! There's nowhere for you to hide!"
"Give it to him, Guardromon!" Kazu cheered on from the sidelines.
"Whew, thank goodness I've kept you safe," Kenta whispered to a tiny, pink digimon inside of his pant pocket.
The tiny digimon revealed itself to be Marine Angemon, who happened to be Kenta's mega-level partner. Despite it's tiny stature, it provided a protective defensive shield for his digimon allies. His bubbles are very difficult to penetrate, especially for the likes of Chameleomon.
After a few moments of trash talking, Guardromon picked up Chameleomon's exact coordinates. The machine digimon lands a punch on Chameleomon. The reptile goes flying through a lightpost and was laid out on the concrete.
"This is sure easy," Guardromon said. "I don't see why we were so worried about a weakling."
"No kidding," replied Kazu. "Let's get this over with."
"Right! Do you hear that, fiend? I suggest you surrender right away!" Guardromon demanded.
The Chameleomon slowly lifted himself up while another figure looked from on top of an apartment rooftop. This figure's eyes were also emitting a crimson glow much like the Chameleomon. It was identified as an Asuramon. The tri-faced digimon scurries off from the rooftop and leaps off into a dark alley. What exactly is going? Do these digimon have a form of agenda or do they happen to be in cahoots with Bebimon? Those questions would soon be answered in due time.
Southern District of Shinjuku. 3:05 P.M.
There were disturbing occurrences that even took place in the southern district. It seemed that an invasion of sorts was being made by wild digimon.
Suddenly, an explosion erupted from a local bank. Then came another explosion from a laundry mat and several more along the way. The crowds scattered in the masses as a shadowy figure stood amongst the raging flames. Rather than a digimon emerging, a young blonde-haired body-builder came walking through without a single scathe. A sinister grin forms across his face as he turned to face the screaming people.
The bodybuilder found an innocent bystander and immediately snatched him by the neck. The scared businessman struggled under the bodybuilder's tight grip. The massively muscular man spoke with a rather hoarse voice.
"Where are the digimon I seek? Tell me now…"
The businessman responded by nodding his head, which did not set well for the bodybuilder. He tossed the businessman aside as if he were a rag doll.
"Get away. You're wasting my time."
Every other bystander started running away in desperation. The man held out his hand and sends out a deadly ki blast. The blast resulted in a massive explosion and the death of many innocent lives. The people's screams echoed throughout the district.
Meanwhile, T.K. was seen walking down with Patamon, Tike and Kara. They had left the local hospital a few minutes ago because T.K.'s mother had fallen ill. The blonde-haired young adult had a relieved look on his face. This was because he found out the good news of his mother doing well health wise.
"It was good to know that grandma only fainted and will be released tomorrow morning," Tike said.
"But I wonder. The police told me that something broke into her apartment," T.K. responded. "She claimed that something attacked her and caused her to faint."
"Hey, let's not talk about that right now. I know grandma will be fine and momma is going to be back soon," Kara assured her family.
"I agree. I say we go get ourselves some ice cream," Patamon replied.
"You just read my mind, Patamon. Let's go raid ourselves the nearest ice cream stand!" Tike exclaimed.
"With your bottomless pits, I would have to empty out my wallet again," Tike said with a deep sigh.
Suddenly, an explosion close by immediately alarmed the group. T.K. and the others turned to find several innocent bystanders running for their lives. Patamon flies out in front of his partner. The tiny digimon was picking up an immensely evil ki.
"Patamon? What is it? Are you picking up something?" asked T.K.
"This is no terrorist bombing, you guys. It's an attack from an immensely evil force. I can sense a dark ki from within this area. It's getting close."
"Is it a digimon?" Kara wondered.
"If it is, then Patamon ought to handle it," replied Tike.
"You're wrong, Kara. It's from a human, but his ki is immensely deepened with evil ki."
Back in the danger zone, the blonde-haired bodybuilder continued to blast away everything in his direction. He was not just relentless, but spared no life. Just as he was about to launch a tremendous blast at a group of bystanders, a figure came leaping out in front of them. The large man was quite surprised to see the person confronting him was none other than Mummymon.
"Hey! Just what do you think you're doing, scoundrel?! What gives you any right to blast everything in your way and harm these people's lives? You're in for a ton of lawsuits!"
The crowd rambled away and agreed with the semi-dimwitted ultimate. Mummymon eventually got the crowd going by chanting his name.
"I have the support of these people, fiend! They know who the mon is! I'm the mon! I demand you stop this relentless destruction now or you shall feel my wrath!"
Mummymon gets into a karate stance, but not long before popping his back. The mummy digimon clenched his back and attempted to suppress the pain. The crowds were soon starting to realize his incompetence.
"Heh. Heh. I'm still in this, you guys. I'm just an aging digimon, who is starting to have back problems. Damn back went out on me again…"
The bodybuilder simply turned around and faced Mummymon. His smile turns into a twisted grin.
"Are you one of the digimon I am seeking? Are you amongst those digital warriors with extraordinary powers?"
"Huh? Um, are you drunk? Oh, you mean those guys? I don't use cheap tricks and illusions like those guys!"
"Hmph. You are not one of them. Leave my presence, you piece of digital waste."
With that said, the bodybuilder shoots out a twin eye laser and directs his target at Mummymon. The dimwit leaps away as the beam exploded in front of him.
"Ouch! You better be careful where you aim that! You almost shot my feet! You never want to catch me in a bad mood! Do you hear me, scoundrel?!"
In response, the bodybuilder frowned, points and shoots another beam at Mummymon. Just as the second beam came closer towards Mummymon, Patamon intervened and pushed Mummymon away. The beam goes flying through and incinerates a nearby light post.
"Whoa! It's you, Patamon! You saved my life! I owe you one, little guy."
"Next time, don't go start picking up fights and not finishing it!" Tike calls out.
"What?! This punk was the one who started attacking these people!" Mummymon responded.
"So the ki I've sensed was from this guy?" Patamon wondered.
T.K. and the children gasped at the destruction caused by the bodybuilder. The destruction's wake left a devastating mark on portions of the southern district. The street was practically left in ruins and a number of injured people.
"My god. Look at this destruction!" Kara exclaimed. "Dad! Did this guy really do this?"
"Most likely. If what Patamon says is true, then I really believe it was him."
"Don't forget. We have Mummymon here. He's a witness," replied Tike.
"Yeah! You really should take my word for it. I might be worthless sometimes, but I can also be quite useful. Remember I helped you with the D-Reaper," Mummymon stated promptly.
"We'll give you a medal later," TK responded. "I say we try to talk to this guy."
"Hey, good luck, pal. He's all yours," Mummymon said while cowering behind him.
T.K. walked over towards the bodybuilder without a show of fear. The man turns towards T.K.'s direction and grinned. Patamon quickly flew over and stood at his partner's side.
"What is the meaning of this?" T.K. asked. "Who are you?"
"Yeah, you better explain yourself," Kara shouted. "Or we'll kick your ass!"
"Way to tell it to that jackass!" Tike said with a chuckle.
"So, your a Digi-Destined with a powerful partner. Finally, you have shown yourself."
"What do you want from us?! You had better give me a straight answer!" Tike demanded.
The bodybuilder slowly approached T.K. and reached out with a hand. Patamon immediately took offense and prepared to attack the man.
"That's it! We're moving in!" Tike exclaimed.
"Yeah! Don't waste your energy on this weakling! War Angemon will simply slaughter this punk!" Kara calls out. "Just leave this to us!"
The bodybuilder turned to find Tike and Kara charging. T.K. gasped in horror as his children were putting themselves at harm's risk.
"What the hell are they doing?!"
Shinjuku Park. 3:15 P.M.
Karatenmon let out a battle cry as he leaped off a tree branch. He wielded his twin swords and went to decapitate Henry. However, Terriermon immediately sensed him out and knocks Henry to the side. Karatenmon's sword struck the ground as a result. Terriermon took a defensive stance in front of Henry. This gave Karatenmon enough time to pull his swords out from the ground.
"I almost had you, human!" Karatenmon hissed.
"You just had to ruin a perfectly good meal," Terriermon said. "Nobody ruins my meal time!"
"Terriermon. Now isn't the time," Henry muttered. "Just who are you and what do you want from us? As I recall, we haven't done anything to upset you."
"Henry. That's a Karatenmon. They're sneaky little suckers."
"I do not need to answer myself to such an incompetent human. As far as I recall, you happen to know Taichi."
"What do you want to know about Taichi? He's an acquaintance of mine."
"Oh, that makes it all better. In that case, prepare to die! Then I shall take your digimon's body as a vessel."
"Look, I don't know what you've been smoking," Terriermon butted in. "But you're not going to body snatch anyone. Besides, that's so cliché. We're not in a crappy science fiction movie."
"You've got quite a mouth there, bunny. I'll tell you what. I'll start with you and beat you into submission. If I win, then I claim your body."
"Deal, but you're going to have to give it your best. Besides, I don't lose to chicken heads. Henry, let's kick it up a notch!"
"You're telling me," Henry said while reaching out for his D-Ark. "Card Slash! Digivolution Activate!"
EVOLUTION
"Terriermon shinka! Gargomon!"
Emerging from a thick cloud was a machinegun-wielding dog rabbit with pants. Gargomon faced off with Karatenmon. The Bebimon-possessed digimon took a battle stance and sensed his adversary's energy.
"His power raised through the roof," Bebimon thought to himself. "However, I'm a little disappointed that he doesn't carry a level similar to Taichi's digimon or any of his friends. I'll simply test this poor fool and see if he has a body worth inhabiting."
The digimon finally clashed with one another. Gargomon fired away a barrage of shots, which Karatenmon was able to avoid. The ninja bird used his swords to knock away each bullet.
"Oh, a wise guy, huh?!" Gargomon said. "Gargo Laser!"
Karatenmon saw the bullet shots targeting him and immediately phases out from sight. Gargomon gasped once his opponent vanished from sight. Karatenmon reappears behind Gargomon and comes down with his swords.
"Gargomon! Look out behind you!" cried out Henry.
The rabbit-dog turns around and puts his guns up. Fortunately, he was able to catch the swords with his heavy-weighted guns. Gargomon used ever ounce of his strength to toss Karatenmon aside, but the ninja landed on his feet with grace.
"He's quite resilient, but I'm afraid he's not the one I'm looking for."
Suddenly, Karatenmon turned the other direction and picked up another energy signal. Gargomon noticed this and put up his guns to attack once again.
"I'm picking up another energy signal from the southern section of this city. Ah, I see this one digital life form has a higher power than this one. I'll have to postpone my date with this idiot."
"What's the matter? Have you decided to throw in the towel already?" Gargomon calls out.
"No, it looks like I have some other important matters to attend to. I'll have to put our little skirmish to a halt."
"Say what?!"
"I'll catch you later once I've found a stronger body."
With that said, Karatenmon phased out from the park forest and disappeared completely out of sight. Henry and Gargomon were caught off guard from the ninja's sudden disappearance.
"Where did he go?" Henry asked.
"You're asking me? Heck, how should I know? He did say that he was looking for a stronger body."
"Hmmm, I wonder," Henry muttered.
"Geez, did that guy really ruin my meal?! He's not going to get away with it. But I did get a bad vibe from him. It's almost as if someone else has inhabited his body and is pulling the strings."
"Gargomon! What do you think?"
Gargomon sat down and closed his eyes in thought. He seemed rather serious for the first few moments, but then dropped onto the ground back first.
"I have no idea, Henry… But, he is not ordinary digimon. Something is controlling him. Whatever is controlling him is out to look for another body."
"Not to mention the fact that he knows tai and the others. If that's the case, then we had better warn everyone else! Let's get going, Gargomon!"
"Hey, wait for me!"
Henry hurried out through the forest with Gargomon tagging along. They had to hurry and find Karatenmon before he finds the other digimon. If what he says is true, then every Digi-Destined is in danger.
Southern District of Shinjuku
The bodybuilder came charging towards the twin children. However, Tike and Kara quickly zipped into different directions. The man was caught off guard as Tike delivered a spinning back kick to his stomach, while Kara did a head butt into the man's crotch. The bodybuilder could not endure any further pain and fell to his knees.
"Yay! We did it!" Kara cheered on.
"Stay down like the punk you are," Tike replied. "Damn, that was easy."
"Wow! They're incredible!" Mummymon exclaimed. "Maybe I could use them as bodyguards to protect me from my fanatical fans."
"In your dreams, Mummymon!" the twins responded to the mummy digimon.
Suddenly, Patamon was picking up another dark presence. T.K. immediately took notice of this and turned to find Karatenmon pushing his way through the crowd. The bystanders began to flee from the scene, as they knew another fight was about to ensue.
"T.K.! This guy has even darker energy signal than that human. I say that we should send Tike and Kara away. This might be a little too much for them."
"Why, Patamon? This one doesn't look so tough," the young adult responded.
"Just leave it to us, Patamon. No use for you to waste your energy," Tike said.
"No sweat. We've been training for a big challenge," Kara said. "C'mon, Tike. Let's lay some smack down."
"Those kids don't know what they are getting themselves into!" Patamon growled.
Karatenmon leaps out onto the center of the street while facing off with the twins. Suddenly, his body started quivering. T.K. snatched the children away as the ninja's exposed chest wound began to open up. A purple pod emitted a bright green aura and plopped itself onto the ground.
"Ugh! That is sick!" Kara said with complete disgust.
"Not as sick as what I'm about to do to him!" Tike replied. "He must be the perpetrator behind these attacks!"
"I'm inclined to agree," said T.K.
The pod started to take a humanoid form. It started to sprout limbs. Its head was elongated into an alien-like head and shade-like eyes formed. A nose formed along with a sinister grin. His skin was now light blue. There was now a form of body armor covering his chest. The creature started to speak in a voice with a hissing manner.
"You… You're the partner to this Patamon are you? You must be one of the strongest digital warriors…"
"What's it to you?!" Patamon asked. "You're responsible for leading these attacks."
"I've gathered enough energy from as many hosts as I could. Their energy helped my body to develop and evolve. Thank you for the kind energy."
"You sick freak!" T.K. exclaimed with anger. "What gives you any right to take away other people's energy?! It's not yours! Relinquish it!"
"I don't think so. Tell me, are you allies of Taichi?"
This question caught T.K. completely in shock. How could this creature have known Tai? T.K. knew this monster was trouble, but he didn't realize that Bebimon knew the whereabouts of Tai.
"What do you want from Tai?! Do you two know each other?"
"Let's just say that we've ran into each other and had our differences. I can't wait until that coward shows himself back here. But you shall do nicely."
"Let us at him, dad!" Tike said. "We'll put this creep out of his commission."
"No. You two get away from here," T.K. demanded. "Mummymon. Get these kids out of here. Patamon and I will take care of this."
"Ok, but you better come out of this alive," Mummymon said. "I'm not about to sacrifice myself to save your ass!"
"Well if you think you can handle it, dad. We'll be supporting you, dad!" Kara said.
"Make sure you knock this guy senseless!" Tike said. "He shouldn't be too difficult for War Angemon."
T.K. gave a nod to his children, while assuring them that he would come out alive. Mummymon grabbed the twins and scurried off from the battle site.
"Ha, those brats don't matter to me. It's you and your partner that I'm really after. Oh, how rude of me not to introduce myself. I am Bebimon. My goal is to gain the strongest power in the digital cosmos and to crush all opposition that challenges my power. But my real grudge goes out to you disgusting humans. It was because of a human named Cyrus that destroyed my entire race. Because of those actions, I shall gain my revenge on humanity on their own turf."
"Revenge on humanity? This Cyrus is the one responsible. Please, do not take it out on us, humans."
"Blasphemy! You retch of the same blood! You humans only seek greed and power. You only care about yourselves and refuse to share it with any other non-human races. I'm here on a conquest to punish the human race. You should feel honored to be the first on my hit list."
"No, because here I will stop you."
"Try me, human."
"Patamon! Let's do this! Digivolve time!"
With that said, T.K. pulls out his D-3 and unleashes a stream of holy light. The light engulfed the tiny mammal digimon and caused him to evolve into a tall winged warrior wielding a staff.
"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"
"All right, Patamon! It's digital fusion time!"
The two were then brought together into a quick fusion. Within a few moments, they were merged together and became a single warrior. Taking their place was none other than War Angemon. His armor looked exactly like Seraphimon's, except that his body was sleeker and a sword was wielded on his right hand. On his back was a pair of ten golden wings. His helmet was decorated with golden letter writings and contained a pair of wings on each side.
"So, what do they call you? Tinkermon?" Bebimon said with a chuckle.
"No, but you can just call me, War Angemon. That'll be the last thing you'll ever hear once I'm done with you," the holy warrior said with a menacing tone.
"Yes, that's the way. Show me your true power. Unleash it all! I need to see if you do have limits to your great power."
"It won't matter once I've killed you, you heartless monster."
"What modest words from such a simple warrior," Bebimon said. "Your energy should do quite nicely."
As soon as he finished his sentence, Bebimon finished powering up as a bright aura formed around him. He reached his full maximum and then sent an incredible, energy force destroying nearly every building within the southern district with little effort. Mummymon quickly starts running as the blast sent him flying. Fortunately, Tike and Kara were able to catch him and fly him towards the distance.
"Whew! Thanks for saving my hide, little fellas!" Mummymon said with relief.
"Whatever. We just didn't want to be dragged along by you," Tike said. "We can get away from the fight faster by doing this."
"Don't worry. Our dad will take care of that freak," Kara assured the mummy digimon.
Bebimon finished powering up and faced off with the fused warrior. The mutant formed a sinister grin, which brought an angry sneer from War Angemon.
"Damn. It looks like we've got ourselves a fight on our hands. Hopefully, the kids will be safe from here. I better give this my fullest effort," War Angemon thought.
West Shinjuku Bridge Area
Meanwhile, back at the bridge area, Kazu and Kenta were on the sidelines witnessing the struggle between Chameleomon and Guardromon. The machine digimon charged over towards the fallen reptile and stopped. He noticed that Chameleomon wasn't moving and looked clearly unconscious.
"Kazu! It looks like I gave him the ol' K.O.! Score another victory for me! The crowd goes wild!"
The boys could only lower their heads in shame. Sweatdrops came dripping down the back of their heads. Guardromon continued to flex his "guns" despite the boys feeling embarrassed.
"That was a little too easy," said Kazu. "That Chamelemon didn't even put up a full effort."
"Yeah, I'm getting pretty suspicious, too," replied Kenta.
"I don't know about you, but I'm not cleaning this mess up," Kazu rambled on. "Guardromon. We'll leave that up to you. We're going out for some slushies."
"Whoa! Whoa! I can't leave me! At least bring me back something."
"How about some beef jerky?" Kenta asked.
"Sure, why not?"
As soon as the boys walked off from the area, several local authorities arrived at the scene. They started encircling Guardromon and were questioning him on the situation.
However, Asuramon had his eyes set on Guardromon. Before he attempted to unleash his attack, the demon man turned to find beast-like warrior. His mane was distinguishable and a large sword was strapped onto his back. The warrior gave Asuramon a menacing glare.
"I see that you've been among the few individuals causing trouble in this city," the beast man spoke. "I'm telling you right now. Leave or prepare to be punished."
Instead of replying to the warrior's offer, Asuramon charged out towards the warrior and prepared to attack him. Unfortunately for Asuramon, the beast warrior slams his fist into Asuramon's stomach. The demon man digimon fell to his knees and onto the floor unconscious. Leomon came walking out of the shadows as the mysterious beast warrior.
"Strange, it seems this monster was controlled by our new enemy. Pikkan had just informed me about the situation. We need to keep an eye out for this new enemy with Taichi and the others gone."
Suddenly, he turned to see Pikkan standing on the same rooftop. Leomon turned and made his way towards the Alterian.
"I say we get started right away, Pikkan."
"Yes, I sent Jeri to her home. She'll be safe for the time being. Let's make sure to broaden our horizons and sense out any evil ki. It will be difficult for us to find it."
"We'll give it our best, Pikkan."
"No, we have to accomplish this task. There's no other way."
"Agreed. Let's get going."
Southern District of Shinjuku
Henry and Gargomon finally arrived at the scene. They were astonished and shocked by the destruction left from Bebimon's maximum power-up ki. Gargomon looked up to find War Angemon facing off with the mutant digimon.
"Henry! Look up! Bebimon is taking on ol' T.K.! This is going some fight!"
"Remind me where to find the popcorn."
"Give it to him, T.K.! Don't let your guard down!"
"Is that what might have controlled the Karatenmon?"
"Probably. His energy is similar to that Karatenmon. It really doesn't matter anyway. T.K. is going to cream this guy."
"T.K. better watch himself. This thing might just be craftier than we gave credit for."
Bebimon started to laugh at his new opponent and cocked his head in curiosity.
"So, what do you think of my power, warrior?" the mutant taunted War Angemon. "Aren't you going to attack? Or are you buying yourself some time? Perhaps you need the help of friends."
"What are you talking about? I don't need anyone else to help me defeat a wimp like you."
"Oh, well tell that to these two," Bebimon pointed down at Henry and Gargomon.
War Angemon turned his attention away from Bebimon to look down. He noticed that Henry and Gargomon were spectators. At least his children weren't around to get in harm's way.
"They won't interfere. This is between us, Bebimon. I'm not going to stall any longer. I'm coming at you right now!"
(Play the Fight battle from the Neo vs. Smith fight in The Matrix Reloaded)
Immediately, War Angemon phases out from sight. Bebimon was caught off guard as the angelic warrior delivered a kick to his head. War Angemon follows that up with a forearm smash to the mutant's cranium. Bebimon cries out while plummeting down towards the concrete ground. However, Bebimon prevented his fall from taking place and stops in mid-air. He found that War Angemon was no longer levitating from the heavens. Bebimon felt a presence creeping up from behind him. He turns around and is met with a fist to his face.
"Damn! You bastard! I was caught off guard!"
"There's plenty of more pain where that came from," replied War Angemon.
"Impressive. You've shown more tendency than that rabbit. However, you are going to have bring out all the goods."
"The nerve of that guy," muttered Gargomon. "He should have at least given me some credit."
"I'm afraid your way out of this monster's league."
"Nah, that couldn't be true, Henry. He ran away. He didn't want anymore of this," Gargomon said with a chuckle.
"Note to self: make sure to deflate this bunny's ego," Henry thought.
Bebimon once again threw himself towards War Angemon. The mutant relentlessly hammered away at the angelic warrior. The two engaged into a punch/block struggle. Bebimon was impressed by his adversary's combination of speed and power.
War Angemon started to dictate his pace while Bebimon allowed time to recover. The angelic warrior raises his hand and formed an energy rod. The mutant saw an opening to War Angemon and took complete advantage of him. Bebimon delivers a head butt slam into War Angemon's side ribs and delivered an array of punches. War Angemon seemed to be taking a beating. However, in reality, he was merely using extra time to increase his rod's power.
"C'mon! Why don't you hit me back, moron? I guess you've realized that your resistance is futile!"
"Not quite."
"What are you saying?"
"You've just allowed me more time to transfer some of my own energy through this rod. You know what that means?"
"Ugh! I should have know that you would have a strategy in mind."
"Now that you've realized the truth. Why don't I demonstrate?"
With that said, War Angemon swung his rod towards Bebimon. Fortunately, the mutant performed a backward flip and was barely knicked by the rod's tip. War Angemon phases behind Bebimon and punched him in the back. Unfortunately for the warrior, Bebimon phases away. War Angemon turned around to find Bebimon flying off into the distance. He follows right after the mutant.
"Yesh. This might get ugly," Tike calls out from a safe location. "C'mon, dad! You've got him playing chicken!"
"That little coward wants no part of our dad! He's great!" Kara replied with glamour.
"Here I thought that they would always resort to tricks," Mummymon said.
"If you ever bring up that 'tricks' crap, I'm going to send you into the next world, dumbass!" the twins threatened.
"I was just giving my two cents on the matter. You don't have to go bite my head off…"
"Shut it. Man, They're moving around so fast!" Tike exclaimed.
"You're right. I can barely keep up with them!" said Kara. "Get him, dad!"
War Angemon leaps backwards as he started scaling a nearby rock cliff. Bebimon goes flying off after his adversary and shoots out numerous eye beams. War Angemon deflected each shot with his rod. The mutant digimon slapped away each blast and watched them slam into the earth with tremendous force. The warriors quickly phased out from sight.
"Unbelievable! It's only been five years since T.K. has been involved in a major battle," Henry thought. "But, he's taking Bebimon like a pro. He and Patamon have barely had proper time to train. I wonder whether he has even more inner strength that he hasn't bothered to use. His maneuvers are off the scale."
"Yo, Henry? Why are you so zoned out all of a sudden?"
"Then again, Bebimon could be restraining his own power until T.K. loses fatigue. Maybe I'm just looking into this a little too far. T.K. might even have this in the bag."
"Um, Henry. Maybe you ought get back to reality. Hello?"
Bebimon chuckled as he landed on top of a wrecked car. War Angemon reappears on the ledge of a collapsed building. There was suddenly a clapping noise from the background. Bebimon was the source of the clapping.
"Magnificent I must say. You're really at the top of your game, warrior."
"Well, I know you aren't on top of yours. Quit being lazy. Let's get this over with. I don't have time to be talking with a freak who claims to be a body snatcher."
"What's the matter with body snatching? I find it fun. I love to torture those from within."
"You're getting so damn annoying. I'm shutting that mouth of yours for good."
"So be it. Just remember this. I have been holding back this entire time."
"You're lying. You aren't even bothering to give it your all. Don't even try those head games crap with me. It won't work."
War Angemon takes a stance with the rod in his hand. A sinister grin forms on the mutant's face. War Angemon felt a ki rising from Bebimon and noticed his hands coated with bright auras. The angel warrior leaps back, but was unable to avoid a massive blast that Bebimon unleashed.
"Damn! What a blast! He wasn't lying after all!"
"I told you not to underestimate me, fool. I wasn't holding back. Now you shall die!"
War Angemon cries out while the blast sent him crashing through several rock walls. Tike and Kara looked on with horrified glares. Gargomon snatched up Henry and pushed him away from any possible harm.
(End theme)
"T.K.!" Henry calls out.
"Dad!"
"That's it, Henry! I'm going in! Looks like we'll be needing Rapidmon!"
"Yes! Go!"
With a battle cry, Gargomon charged out towards the battlegrounds and was coated with a bright aura. Henry immediately slashed a blue card through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash! Matrix Digivolution!"
MATRIX EVOLUTION
"Gargomon chou shinka! Rapidmon!"
(Play The Biggest Dreamer theme w/o lyrics) The green-armored cyborg rabbit flew towards the distance and faced off with Bebimon. The mutant grinned as he easily recognized Terriermon's ki from the newly evolved ultimate.
"Ah, if it isn't the rabbit."
"You ran away from our little round. I say we begin where we left off, bub."
"Fine, if it pleases you so."
"Here's a little way of me saying thank you! Rapid Fire!"
Rapidmon fires away numerous missiles from his arm cannons and targeted for the mutant. Bebimon puts his hands out and stopped each missile. One by one, they exploded while in midair. Rapidmon follows out Bebimon at every direction. Frustrated, the cyborg fired every possible missile within his arsenal. Bebimon showed little effort by maneuvering from each shot.
"He's too fast!" Henry cried out. "Rapidmon! Watch your back!"
Bebimon phases behind Rapidmon and delivers a fist to his exposed back. The cyborg rabbit is sent plummeting towards the earth. That is until Bebimon reappeared below. The mutant greeted Rapidmon with a ki force. Rapidmon is sent soaring into the heavens.
"Ah, shit! Rapidmon is getting creamed out there!" Tike cried out. "C'mon, get it together! You could at least get up, dad!"
"Were is dad? We just might have to step in and help them," Kara stated.
"You two are supposed to stay put. Besides, I think he'll pull through. He's been through tougher foes than this little freak," Mummymon assured them. "At least, I hope…"
(End theme)
Suddenly, the trio was caught off guard as a spiral-blast. It came hurtling towards Bebimon and made its complete mark. Rapidmon looked across to find the source of the blast. He found Leomon and Pikkan levitating over the horizon.
"Hey, is everyone all right?!" Leomon calls out.
"Hey! It's Leomon!" Henry exclaimed.
"Whew! Thank goodness!" Kara said. "You two came in the nick of time."
Leomon flew over to where Rapidmon was, while Pikkan looked down to find War Angemon struggling to make it to his feet. Coming out from the smoke, Bebimon was completely unscathed.
"Hmph. So there are more nuisances. Ah, it's the Alterian and a Leomon."
"Finally, you've exposed yourself, fiend," Leomon said with a growl. "There's absolutely no escape for you."
"Let's waste him now, before he becomes a bigger problem," Pikkan stated. "We can't afford to let him escape."
"We'll take care of everything from here, you two," Leomon replied. "Stand aside. Rapidmon, that even includes you."
"Dang. I don't even get a taste of sweet revenge. All right, but I get the last licks on this guy."
Rapidmon flew down next to Henry and witnessed the handicap showdown ensuing. Leomon and Pikkan flew out towards Bebimon with tenacity. Pikkan threw out an array of ki blasts towards Bebimon and each shot made their mark. Leomon followed it up with a Fist of the Beast King maneuver. The combined efforts were enough to maim Bebimon. Leomon formed a large sphere and hurls it at the mutant. Bebimon dodged to the side, but would soon learn that was a mistake on his part. Leomon pulls his arms back and forces the sphere back. Bebimon turns and is met with a shot to the face.
"Whoo! Way to go!" Tike cheered on. "You've got that punk reeling!"
"I don't think they're finished yet. Take a look!" Kara replied.
Pikkan slams his fists together and unleashes a powerful electric wave, which caught Bebimon and paralyzed him. The beast lion took advantage of the situation and slashes his body in half with his sword. Cries echoed as the mutant was sent plummeting in two halves.
"Now to put him away for good," Pikkan bellowed out. "Thunder Flash Attack!"
"Fist of the Beast King!"
The warriors' techniques merged together into a single blast. Bebimon managed to sit up and was staring towards the massive blast. The blast slams into the earth and its force engulfs Bebimon. A massive explosion incinerates portions of the district and was covered by a bright flash of light. Slowly, but surely, the flash faded away and it revealed the destructive force of the blast. Lying on the surface was a massive crater. The mutant was nowhere to be found. Everyone took a good look over the impact crater and sighed a relief.
"We did it. That required nearly all of our minimum power," Pikkan said. "I say we find T.K. within this rubble and get him some help. I'm sure that monster did him plenty of damage."
"Yes, he took that blast and there's no doubt he sustained injuries," replied Leomon.
"Hey, Leomon! Pikkan! We have to find my dad!" Tike calls out. "He must be buried underneath the debris!"
"Hey, look! There's something moving underneath that rubble!" Kara exclaimed while pointing down at building debris.
"It's him! Bebimon's survived!" Mummymon cried out. "Hurry! Kill him!"
"No, wait. It's not Bebimon," Henry pointed out. "It's T.K.!"
Everyone turned their attention to the fallen building debris. Finally merging, War Angemon let out a sigh and looked at his surroundings. There was no energy signal from Bebimon. It was evident that the mutant was done in by the combined efforts of Pikkan and Leomon.
"It's dad! He's safe!" the twins exclaimed in unison. "We did it! We sent that creep to the next zone!"
"We… beat him? Wow, but who finished the job?"
"Don't you know?" Henry asked. "Pikkan and Leomon came at the last minute. They took care of that creature. Though, this district will have to be rebuilt, again. It's such a shame."
"Yeah. No kidding," muttered Rapidmon. "It really sucks for those construction workers."
"That's great to hear. Why don't we go and tell Tai about this once he gets back. Maybe he'll know about this Bebimon guy. After all, he was asking for him."
"Was he?" Leomon asked. "Well, it doesn't matter anymore. He's done with. Pikkan, our job here is finished."
"Oh is it?" War Angemon said with a chuckle. "Or perhaps you should have done a better job!"
With that said, War Angemon flies above Leomon and Pikkan. He puts his arms across his chest and releases an array of dark ki blasts. The raining shots immobilized the warriors. Tike and Kara were completely caught in complete shock at the events.
"What?! What the hell is dad doing?! Hey, don't you think you're taking this too seriously?" Tike calls out. "They only came to help."
"Dad's ego is really getting to him," Kara muttered. "Hey, cut it out!"
"T.K.! Stop this! Don't take it out on them! Please, I implore you!" Henry pleaded.
"Henry. I'm sensing a dark ki from T.K. You can call me crazy, but it's true," replied Rapidmon.
"Say what?! T.K.! What is going on?!"
War Angemon immediately stopped his attack on the duo and focused his attention on Henry. An evil grin forms on the angelic warrior's face. His voice suddenly became raspy and similar to Bebimon's. In fact, Bebimon had now possessed War Angemon.
"No! It can't be! It's Bebimon! Bebimon has taken over T.K.'s body!" Henry warned everyone.
"Bebimon?! But that's impossible! We destroyed him," Pikkan said while struggling to his feet.
"You're partially correct, dear Alterian," the Bebimon-possessed digimon said. "When you and Leomon used your combo attack, a tiny entity of my body managed to survive and took refuge within this body. Poor Takeru did not suspect a thing. Heh, heh."
"You… you bastard! You took my dad's body against his will!" Tike cursed. "I'm going to kill you!"
"Tike! No!"
Despite his sister's cries, Tike defied any warning and charged at his possessed father. War Angemon turned around and shot a ki blast that knocked the boy away. Responding to the attack on her brother, Kara immediately flew down and caught Tike.
"That boy happens to be Takeru's son. So that girl has to be his daughter! Don't worry kiddies. I'm not after you, yet. I just need to take your father's body on a test drive."
"Not as long as we're here to stop you!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"Release T.K. now! That body isn't yours to take!" Leomon demanded.
"Shoot, I'm more than ready to blast this creep to smithereens!" Rapidmon said.
War Angemon quickly put his hands together and positions them in front. He targeted for the trio challenging his authority.
"So be it. You three are weak compared to this superior warrior! It's time to take out the trash! Seven Heavens Blast!"
The angelic warrior unleashed a massive energy wave and sent it towards the trio. Rapidmon pushes Henry away and was immediately caught in the blast. Pikkan and Leomon were much too weakened to recover. As a result, they were also caught in the blast. Their screams echoed while the blast plummeted through the earth and created another explosion.
"No! Leomon! Pikkan!" Kara cried out.
"He… He's done them in!" Mummymon stuttered through chattering teeth. "He's going to kill us all!"
"Rapidmon! No!" Henry cried out.
As the smoke cleared away, it revealed a deep crater that covered nearly the entire wide span of the district. Lying deep within the crater were the conscious forms of Pikkan, Leomon and Terriermon. Henry found Terriermon's unconscious form and slid down the crater to rush over to his fallen partner. War Angemon chuckled at the destruction he left in the wake.
"Well, my job here is finished. I have no use for these weaklings. Now I'll focus my attention on finding the strongest warrior within this realm," Bebimon said within War Angemon's thoughts. "Yes. Here I come, Yamato. Don't you go anywhere."
Tike's ears perked when he heard his possessed father mention the name of Matt. The boy sits up and is met with a hug from his sister.
"Thank goodness, you all right!"
"Where is he?! The bastard that took over our father's body. Where is he?"
Kara pointed over towards the heavens and allowed her brother to find the location of his father. Suddenly, Tike felt a slight ki power up. War Angemon flies out of the region and over towards the horizon.
"I'm going after him!"
"Tike! No, you can't! He'll end up killing you!"
"I don't care! He's going to pay for what he's done to our dad! Kara, you stay here and tend to our friends' wounds. Pikkan and Leomon took plenty of damage from his attack. Hurry! There's no time to lose…"
"Ok, but you better be careful, Tike."
"Don't worry. I'll be back. Trust me. I will bring back daddy."
Kara gave her brother an assuring nod and runs off towards the crater. Tike looks over to Mummymon with a glare that could kill.
"Mummymon. You better not run off. I want you to stay. My sister could use some help tending to our friends."
"Uh… Yeah. I'm right on it, boy. Don't you worry about a thing. You go and stop that monster."
"I will."
With that said, Tike took off into the skies. The boy flies off with complete determination to restore his father from Bebimon's control.
"You can run, but you can't hide, Bebimon. No ugly bastard is going to take my dad's body for any test drive! I'll take you no contest!"
Deep Within Digital Space.
The twin spaceships were drawing ever so closer towards Shintomon's home sanctuary. It would only be a matter of time before the teams would return home. Tai and Max were especially the most excited. On the other hand, their adventure would come to a close.
As Kari and Davis volunteered to steer the ship, Tai was sitting next to the small dining table. Max walks over to his father and eats away at an apple.
"What's the matter, dad? You seem down."
"I'm just sad that our adventure is ending so soon. But there's something else bothering me. Bebimon. I have a feeling he might be waiting where we least expect him."
"You're letting him get to you, Tai. It's not like you," Agumon said.
"No sweat, dad. If he ever finds us on earth, we'll be sure to stop that puny little rat."
"Yeah, besides. All we need to use is Rika and he'll end up running away," Takato said with a tease.
"Very funny, goggle head."
"I do not blame Tai," Renamon spoke. "We must stay focused. The enemy will be waiting. We can not let our guard down."
"As long as he have the black digicores, we'll use them to hopefully restore your age. That way you can battle Bebimon at full strength," Max assured his father.
"You're right. I shouldn't be worrying over this so much. I should focus more on the digicores. Bebimon will eventually try to capture them. It's my responsibility to keep them safe from his hands."
"Hey, guys! I just wanted to let you know that we're about to arrive on Shintomon's planet in an hour," Kari announced. "We'll be home soon."
"Man, I could use another nap," Davis said with a yawn.
"We'll definitely need it," said Veemon. "This trip took forever."
"Good and we'll be home safely," Tai thought. "But why am I feeling a little nervous? Is there something that I'm not aware of? Nah, I'm just a little paranoid. There's nothing to be so worked up over. Ah, home sweet home."
Earth. Outskirts of the Shinjuku/Tokyo city district.
War Angemon boosted his flight speed while covering most to the landscape outside of the entire Tokyo city district. He smirked while examining his own body.
"Perfect, this body is letting me read energy signals from far off locations. I'll be sure to find Yamato sooner or later."
Unfortunately, he felt another energy level from close by. War Angemon immediately stopped and spotted Tike flying towards him.
"Well, if it isn't the little brat."
"Bebimon! Hey, asshole! We're not finished yet!"
"Tike, that's your name. According to this vessel's memory, you're his bratty son."
"What's it to you? I'm going to kill you and restore my father to normal!"
"Ha! That's a laugh. Do you really think you have what it takes to beat me, boy?"
"Don't tempt me!"
(Play Drowning Pool's Step Up from the The Punisher soundtrack)
The boy flies over towards War Angemon and went for a punch, but War Angemon dodged away. The possessed warrior delivers a knee hard into Tike's exposed gut knocking the wind out of him. War Angemon grabbed Tike's hair and delivers numerous punches to his face. Each punch made their mark and left bruises on the boy's face. War Angemon stopped his relentless assault and tossed the boy aside. Tike's body started to plummet towards the ground. Suddenly, the boy emerged with new life and prevents his fall with a levitation technique.
"Bebimon! Why did you have to go and steal my dad's body?! Are you too afraid to fight me alone?! You damn coward!"
Tike charges out in flight against War Angemon and unleashed a barrage of ki shots. Unfortunately for him, War Angemon dodged each shot and noticed the boy losing his own composure. It was a rookie's mistake on the boy's part. War Angemon took advantage of his son and fires his own ki blast. Tike managed to see it coming and maneuvers away.
"Nice dodge there, kid. You won't be so lucky in the long run."
With incredible speed, War Angemon launches himself at Tike and delivers a fist into the boy's stomach. Tike spat out some blood as a result of the fist's impact. A battle rod materializes in War Angemon's hand and he immediately slams it against Tike's spine. The tiny warrior screamed out with agony from the pain ensuing through his injured back. Despite the threshold of pain, Tike gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"You're not even worth my time anymore, boy. I'm after Yamato. You're no concern of mine. Now, stay out of my business."
"No way… You're not getting anywhere near Uncle Matt… Not happening…"
"If you would have simply stayed down, we wouldn't have come to this."
Tike barely struggled to even remain afloat in the air and held his throbbing stomach. He had absolutely no chance against his fully powered father, let alone one possessed by a crafty mutant.
"How should I do away with you? Possess your body or kill you? You could easily be a servant of mine. Why waste on future talent?"
"Me serve you? I'd rather eat shit than serve a creep like you…"
"Such a mouth there, kid. Once I've converted you to my clan, you're mouth shall be purified and you will truly be an obedient son."
"Never call me your son, monster! Takeru is my real father! Don't speak to me like I'm your son! I'm not your son!"
With that said, Tike screamed out like never before. His body intensified with sudden rage and sadness. War Angemon felt the boy's ki rising rapidly. He couldn't believe that such a boy possessed such great power.
"Impossible, where is this boy getting so much power?! He should be weakening!"
"Idiot. You forgot that my father and mother are fusion warriors."
"You're mother. Her name is Hikari, isn't it?"
"That's right. You know my family well."
"No wonder you've gained such a power up. You inherited their strength!"
"Wow, you're a fast learner. I suppose I ought to knock some more sense into you!"
Tike phases out and caught War Angemon off guard with a fist to his gut. War Angemon gasped out with pain while covering his throbbing chest. Tike leaps back and immediately phases out. The possessed angel turned around and was met with by a kick to his groin. War Angemon let out a horrifying cry while holding his manhood.
"Serves you right for taking my dad's body!"
"No… Can't control this body for long… Must escape… Looks like I've found my newest host!"
"Say what?!"
Tike looked on as a silver slime-like capsule emerged through War Angemon's left ear. War Angemon's body plummeted towards the forest grounds. The boy flew back as the capsule started taking the shape of a gooey mass. Like the rookie that he was, Tike was too quick to judge and fired away a massive ki blast towards the slime.
"Now's my chance to take over his body!"
The gooey mass opened up a hole and allowed the blast to penetrate through the hole. Tike gasped as the mass took the shape of the alien's face. The ooze mass attached itself over Tike and engulfed him almost immediately. Everything went completely black through Tike's mind. His screams echoed throughout the forest landscape. Now Tike had become the next victim of Bebimon's rampage. The mutant himself possessed Tike.
(End theme)
Tike opened his eyes and took a glance at his surroundings. His widened mouth slowly crept into a sinister grin. He clenched his fists and chuckled under Bebimon's raspy voice.
"Oh yes. This body has unlimited power. It's completely fresh and young. I'll definitely gain more efficient energy from a younger body rather than an older one. I should be able to still detect the presence of Yamato. Yes, I can. He's close. It's only a matter of time."
Tike levitates down to where War Angemon had fallen and hoisted him onto his right shoulder. The boy was rather strong to lift a grown warrior like War Angemon with ease. Finally, he sets off into the horizon and flies off to Odaiba. He had a plan set in motion.
Leaving destruction in his wake, Bebimon has defeated some of earth's strongest digimon forces. He's already possessed War Angemon and has now taken refuge within little Tike. He plans on converting every human to his side. What does he hope to accomplish by finding Matt? Will he eventually possess his body? Hurry Tai! You and the others have to get home as soon as possible!

A Mutant's Ambition: Metalla X Possessed?! A Worldwide Problem!
Tike opened his eyes and took a glance at his surroundings. His widened mouth slowly crept into a sinister grin. He clenched his fists and chuckled under Bebimon's raspy voice.
"Oh yes. This body has unlimited power. It's completely fresh and young. I'll definitely gain more efficient energy from a younger body rather than an older one. I should be able to still detect the presence of Yamato. Yes, I can. He's close. It's only a matter of time."
Tike levitates down to where War Angemon had fallen and hoisted him onto his right shoulder. The boy was rather strong to lift a grown warrior like War Angemon with ease. Finally, he sets off into the horizon and flies off to Odaiba. He had a plan set in motion.
Odaiba District. Ishida Residence
Miles away from where the battle ensued, the city district of Odaiba was peaceful and has not become victimized by invading digimon for years. This was the hometown of the original eight Digi-Destined and once terrorized by Myotismon years ago.
Even to this day, some of those Digi-Destined still reside in this city. This includes both the Kamiya and Ishida families.
Working around the garden of their backyard, an older Mimi was watering a flower garden along with her partner, Palmon. Mimi smiled and placed her sunhat over her strawberry-blonde hair. The beautiful afternoon skies shone over her majestic garden. In Palmon's case, she had to moist her body from the hot climate.
"Whew. Hey, Mimi. Why don't we take a break? My roots are just about to molt away."
"Sure. Tell you what. We can have some lemonade. How about it?"
"How could I refuse?"
Mimi walked inside a two-story home, which looked similar to a beach resort. She finds a tray with glasses of lemonade. She takes the tray and walks back out with the tray of lemonade glasses.
"Oh goody! Lemonade!"
Just as Mimi was about to place the tray onto the outdoor table, Palmon runs over and snatched up her drink with exaggeration. She then immediately gulped down her drink. Mimi was appalled by her digimon's manners.
"Palmon! You really need to work on those manners. I mean, really!"
"Sorry, Mimi. I was thirsty. I haven't had anything to drink since this morning. This stinking heat is really taking a lot out of me."
"Oh quit complaining. I had to be taking care of flowers all day. You think I enjoy sweating on a Sunday afternoon? My ideal Sunday is sitting back and watching my favorite shows."
Suddenly, Mimi heard a knock and walks back inside. Palmon sat back on a chair with a satisfied look on her face. Mimi walks up to the door and peeks through the door hole. It was Sora and Biyomon from the view. The blonde woman opened the door and allowed the guests into her home.
"Sora! Long time no see!"
"You're a real fight for sore eyes, Mimi. We just decided to stop by."
"You're welcome here anytime, Sora. I really appreciate the company."
Sora walked inside with Biyomon following her side. She turned and saw Mimi with a distraught look.
"What's wrong, Mimi?"
"I've just been so damn lonely these past couple of days."
"I know what you mean. I'm beginning to worry about Tai and Max. Those two have a real knack of leaving home and setting up their own crazy adventure. Then again, they love to explore the world. How is Kari going to put up with them?"
"I just hope my Keke will be all right. Sundays are always fun when she and I go shopping or water the flowers together."
"You know something? I've noticed a little thing between my little Max and your Keke."
"Huh? Like what? What are you getting at?"
"Well, my son really likes your daughter. They've become a little closer and don't see each other as friends that much anymore."
"You're saying… they love each other? Is that where are you getting at?"
"Max promised that he would do anything to please your little Keke. He deeply cares for her. I think sooner or later, they'll become a couple like Tai and myself."
"You really think so? Now that you mention it. Max is the only guy Keke ever talks and dreams about. You're right! I think they would be so adorable together!" Mimi said with a giggle.
"I'm glad you approve of this, but what about Matt?"
The name immediately struck Mimi as she lowered her head. Sora knew something was wrong and he didn't like the fact that a friend of hers was emotionally distraught.
"Did you two get into a fight?"
"No. It's nothing like that. In fact, we hardly ever argue like we used to. Back when villains were attacking the planet, he's always had the sheer desire to surpass your husband. He craved nothing more than to be the strongest digital warrior. Eventually, he did admit that Tai was far superior to him. These past five years have been great. We've been blessed with two children and it looks like Matt was becoming one heck of a fatherly figure. But now… there's nothing but peace. He's distanced myself from me. This isn't doing Dimitri and Keke any favors."
Sora hunched over and noticed a few tears pouring down Mimi's face. She placed her hand on the woman's shoulder. Palmon came walking in with a look of sorrow for her long-time partner.
"He's back to the way he was before. He told me that Gabumon sensed some sort of disturbance and went to check out the problem. I have a bad feeling that another monster is coming in between our relationship. I even tried to talk him out of it, but he completely ignores me. He brushed me aside and told me not to interfere. Did I fail as a wife?"
"No, you did not fail as a wife, Mimi. Hell, I never thought you would have turned out to be a wonderful mother. But you are one. You should be happy to have such great children. But, I have to agree with Matt."
"What?"
"Yeah. He only wants to protect you and everyone else with Tai gone. That is why he's out trying to find that monster."
"But why does he ignore me?"
"He's not ignoring you. Matt is simply being focused on the situation. You've been married to him for years. You ought to know how he operates. Matt completely focuses on defeating the enemy until it is dead."
These words from Sora made Mimi tear up so much that she had to wipe those tears away. A bright smile replaced that depressing frown of hers.
"Thank you, Sora."
"Anytime."
"So he does truly care for me. How could I have been such an idiot? He's only protecting the kids and me. Maybe I've been holding back and not showing my true affection for that man. All right, Mimi, you had not better screw up the next time he shows up at the door."
"Now, what do you say we go out to the garden? I'll give you a hand," Sora said.
Mimi nodded in agreement and led Sora through the backdoor into the outdoor garden. Palmon goes walking up to Biyomon as if she were disturbed. In fact, they had felt an alarming ki and it was emitting a dark ki signal.
"You felt that, Palmon?"
"I don't like the looks of this. Should we tell Sora and Mimi?"
"No. It doesn't seem much of a problem now. We'll get to the bottom of this later."
"You think Tai and the others encountered this creature that Matt is looking for?"
"Probably, but we'll be on alert."
"Right."
"Palmon. I'll go alert Pikkan or anyone available. You stay here and keep an eye out for this new enemy."
Palmon gave an assuring nod to Biyomon and hurried back into the flower garden. Biyomon closed her eyes and immediately sent a direct telepathic link to the Alterian. Every one of the digimon was taught this technique by Pikkan as a means to communicate faster.
"Pikkan. This is Biyomon. Can you hear me? This is an emergency/"
After a few brief moments of silence, Biyomon was unable to get a direct link with the Alterian.
"What? I can't a direct link with Pikkan. I wonder if he was attacked by the enemy. Ok, then. I'll send a signal to Leomon."
Biyomon immediately sends a direct signal to Leomon through telepathic means. Unfortunately, she couldn't get a link with the brave beast either.
"Darn. This enemy must have gotten to Leomon, too. We're not dealing with any small enemy. We're in serious trouble."
"Hey… What is it? This is Pikkan…"
The Alterian had somehow managed to retrieve Biyomon's message and responded as soon as he could. Biyomon responds back to Pikkan, who seemed to be out of it since his confrontation with Bebimon.
"Pikkan. We've got a situation with…"
"With Bebimon? We just fought that little creep! He managed to escape through. Be on the look out. He's possessed TK's body! This bastard somehow is finding Yamato. You have to be on the look out for him. You can't let Bebimon take your body."
"I agree."
"I'll go around and check all over the city and let the others know ahead of time. I'm not as heavily injured as Leomon. I think I can manage. You and Palmon stay with your partners. Sora and Mimi need to be protected at all costs."
"By the way, have you even seen Matt and Gabumon?"
"Metalla X? Yeah, he's been focused on this new enemy. I'll look for him when I can. You do your part and I'll do mine. Got it?"
"Yes. Thank you. Good luck and be careful"
With that said, Biyomon immediately cut off her telepathic link and walked back towards the flower garden to meet with Palmon.
"So what's up, Biyomon? What did he have to say?"
"We have to stay and keep our guard out."
"Ok, then. What happened though?"
"Pikkan and Leomon had a confrontation with the enemy. Let's just say that they didn't have any luck. Pikkan is still available and he'll be looking for the enemy."
"That's good to know."
"However, this enemy is a body snatcher. Pikkan told me that it has possessed TK's body, but I'm sure that body snatcher has already found another body by now."
"Either way, we have to stay alert."
The digimon nodded to each other assumingly. They stood guard while Sora and Mimi were working over the flower garden. Despite Bebimon's whereabouts, it didn't seem that the ladies were in any paranoia. However, they will soon realize that the creature wasn't to be taken so lightly.
Shinjuku. Katou Residence
Pikkan rose out from his resting bed while grasping his right shoulder. Jeri throws her arms around the Alterian and tugged on his arm.
"Where you going, Pikkan?"
"I have to go."
"But you can't. You have injuries needed to be healed. It's time that you rest."
"Jeri, there's a maniac out there in Takeru's body. There's no telling if he's going to body snatch everyone we care for. Damn it. That little bastard is going down hard!" the Alterian growled while smashing his fists together.
"Pikkan…"
"Don't you worry about me. You stay and heal Leomon's wounds. He took quite an ass kicking."
"I'm surprised you're able to walk."
"That's the whole idea of being an Alterian. It's going to take a lot to put this bad boy down."
"Just do me one favor."
"Yes?"
Jeri walks over and lightly strokes his large ears. The Alterian enjoyed every bit of it until a smirk forms on his face.
"Ok, I get it, Jeri."
"Make sure you come back in one piece. Take that jerk apart!"
Before opening Jeri's window, he turned around and gave her an assuring nod. The Alterian flies out through the open window and finally out into the open skies. He closed his eyes while attempting to pick up any strong energy signals. He immediately sensed an evil ki traveling at a fast rate towards Odaiba.
"There he is! I've sensed that evil ki from that little bastard! He's managed to possess another body, but who? I don't sense anything from Takeru. This is bad. Damn it! You better say your freaking prayers, Bebimon! Cause I'm coming to kick your ass!"
With an immediate explosion of ki, Pikkan boosted his speed and flies out into the far distance. He followed Bebimon's ki towards Odaiba. The Alterian will have to hurry before the parasite sets his sights on the original Digi-Destined. Without Tai and company around to defend their hometown, it was up to Pikkan and/or Metalla X to stand up to the new enemy.
Odaiba District. Ishida Residence
Unfortunately for Pikkan, he was too late. A familiar tiny figure came landing in front of Mimi's home. The figure revealed himself to be the Bebimon-possessed immediately suppressed his ki and removed the wicked smirk off of his face. Despite carrying War Angemon on his right shoulder, the boy walks towards the door and knocks on it.
Mimi responded to the door knock and hunched over to her partner, Palmon.
"Palmon. Do you think you can get the door for me?"
"Sure."
With that said, Palmon goes running back inside the house and headed down to the front door. She opens it and was surprised to see Tike with War Angemon on his right shoulder. Palmon was hesitant after what Biyomon told her, but was unable to pick up any dark ki from Tike or War Angemon. Bebimon was successfully suppressing his evil ki within Tike.
"Oh my goddramon! What happened to you two? Please, come on in!"
"Thanks, Palmon. We've just had an encounter with that creature. We survived and I made sure he left my dad's body," Tike said while putting on an innocent act. "Damn, I never knew my dad punched so hard."
"I'm sure he did. Where is that creature?"
"He got away. I couldn't even catch up to him."
"Ok, you stay right here. I'll go get the others."
Tike nodded and carried his unconscious father over to a large red couch. Palmon walked back outside the garden and calls out to her friends.
"Mimi! Sora! Biyomon! Get in here quick!"
The trio heard Palmon's call and hurried back inside. They gasped as they saw Tike laying War Angemon on the couch.
"What happened to you two?!" Mimi screeched. "Tike, your face!"
"I know, Aunt Mimi. We just had a run-in with that creature in Shinjuku. Don't worry. I've already gotten used to punches to the face. Kara and I have been sparring. Her punches hurt like a punch."
Sora hurries over to the little boy and checked him for any possible injuries. Mimi kneeled over to War Angemon's side. Biyomon and Palmon were starting to get an uneasy feeling from Tike's presence. Tike looked over to the digimon pair and gave them a frown.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Palmon muttered to the pink bird.
"I do," Biyomon replied.
"Shit! Those two are getting suspicious about my presence! It's only a matter of time before I end this game of chirades soon," Bebimon said through Tike's thoughts.
"Sora. We really need to call the others," Mimi said. "TK's condition is not looking well. He's burning up!"
"All right. I'm going to call the hospital. Tike. You and I will go call the others over."
"Sure. No problem."
Just then, much to everyone's surprise, Metalla X arrived from the front door. He looked across everyone and immediately felt a dark presence. It seemed Bebimon was ready to attack him at any given cost. Tike turned to face Matt's fused form and sensed an even stronger power from the warrior of friendship.
"Yes! Now that's what I call power! I've finally found you, Yamato. It's time for me to end this little game."
Bebi-Tike reverted to his wicked side and pushes Sora away. Metalla X responded to the boy's evil ki and powers up.
"Hey! What's the meaning of this, Tike?! I'm not about to let any disobedient boys in my house! Now apologize to Sora!"
"Shut your mouth, you nagging bitch!" Tike spat out.
"What?! How dare you! You will show your elders respect, young man! Now let Aunt Mimi washes that mouth out!"
"You! Warrior!" Tike exclaimed towards Metalla X. "Your body is the one I am looking for. Now surrender it to me, Yamato."
"Heh, so you're the famous body snatcher I've been hearing about," chuckled Metalla X. "How did you manage to escape everyone? You're better than I gave you credit for. You managed to capture the body of my younger brother and now you take over my nephew's body. You've managed to capture one hell of a power. But really… Do you think you can take me? I think not."
"Show me what you've got, human! Let's settle this outside!"
"Just lead the way, parasite."
As soon as he said that, Metalla X flies out into the open skies away from the house. Bebimon-possessed Tike was following close behind Metalla X. The two faced each other off without taking their attention off of one another.
Meanwhile, Mimi and the digimon ran over to Sora's side. Biyomon huddled close to the red-haired woman with concern.
"Sora! Sora! Oh no! That boy! She's been pushed down so hard that she's already unconscious. I knew those kids shouldn't have started to take those damn martial arts," Mimi growled.
"Mom! What's going on?" another boy's voice calls out from down the hallway.
"Dimitri! Get me some alcohol revival."
"Ok, right away!" Dimitri responded. "What is going on here? Why am I suddenly feeling a weird sensation?"
"Biyomon. Has the fight started?" Palmon asked.
"No, it hasn't even begun. They're starting to talk to each other, but about what?"
Metalla X had a serious glare on his face while Bebimon-Tike stood his ground. Both immediately powered up with bright auras surrounding their bodies. The warrior of friendship immediately broke the sudden moment of silence by starting the conversation.
"Tell me, parasite. What are you doing here? What do you want from us? You must have a reason for this lame excuse of body snatching. Not like I care, but I'm curious."
Bebimon-Tike chuckled to the warrior's rant and crossed his arms. He managed to speak out using Bebimon's voice, which finally indicated that the parasite was in complete control of the boy.
"All right. Since you're dying to know, I might as well tell you. First, allow me to introduce myself. I am Bebimon."
"That's nice, but I say you're name is Shit. That suites you better."
"Such a dirty mouth coming from such an 'honorable warrior'. As I was saying, my name is not 'exploitative deleted', but it is Bebimon. I was apart of an ancient digital race known as the Tufflesurians. We were once a peaceful race, which created and invented highly technological weapons and civilizations at our disposal. We were considered pioneers of our time on our former home planet called Plant. We came close to perfecting the dream utopia reserved for our race. We lived peacefully until one day… One day, a disgusting race of worms known as humans came to our planet to destroy our home!"
"Humans, you say?"
"Yes, there were five humans with extraordinary powers. The Digital Knights somehow sent them. The one human that helped to lead to the downfall of our race was that damn Cyrus. I remember as if it were yesterday. He ruthlessly slaughtered my people. He claimed that he was given 'orders' to cause our extinction. Our technology couldn't even help defend us against these invaders. You know why I remember? Because I was once the king of that planet. I witnessed my own people die at the hands of those human bastards. I was nearly killed, but a fellow Tufflesurian scientist helped to preserve my blood cells before my alleged death. Those cells were sealed within a capsule and were cast away into the farthest regions of space. Luckily, I found another suitable planet. Using their own technology, I created machine mutants to terraform the planet into the M-5 planet. My precious machines created a suitable test tube in order to preserve my body. Over time, those cells grew and developed into a mutant. I eventually became Bebimon. Eventually, my machines created Dr. Myuumon. He ensured that my development would turn out to be a success. His responsibility was to capture energy from a Digital World within the western sector of the digtal galaxy. In time, power was collected from a bunch of powerful warriors. You might know one of them as Taichi."
"So, you've met Tai? That makes a whole lot of sense, Bebimon. You're lucky that he didn't destroy you the first time he had the chance."
"Yes, he was a naive fool. He thought that I was dead, but was he ever so inaccurate. As far as my development as concerned, my newly born form wouldn't be suitable without a body host. By body snatching, I can allow my form to develop and grow. I acquire the energy of humans and digimon to complete my evolution. I never knew I would run into hybrids such as yourself. Digital warriors… You are the perfect source of energy. By taking over your brother's body, I successfully garnered enough energy suitable for my evolution. It speeds up the process so to speak. Now, I shall extract my revenge on humans for wiping out my race. You, Yamato. You bear a close resemblance to Cyrus. Because of that, I've chosen to claim your body. I'll use you as a step to my conquest of vengeance upon the human race. Rather to destroy humans, I'll simply put them under my control. I'll recreate my own utopia, which was destroyed once before."
After Bebimon explained his background story, Metalla X simply chuckled under his breath. He was obviously amused, yet was annoyed by the creature's story.
"Well, that's nice to know. Unfortunately for you, I'm here to stamp out your plans. I'm going to blow you to bits. You won't even stand a chance against me. You better say your prayers."
"Idiot. With this body, I can move freely from your attacks. I am so small that you won't even catch me. Tell me. You wouldn't kill your own nephew now, would you?" Bebimon-Tike taunted the warrior.
"You're not my nephew. Now get out of his body. You'll pay for laying your hands on my family!"
With that said, Metalla X quickly powered up into his second ascension form. Streaks of electricity streaked over his body. He clenched his fists and cups both of his hands in front of him. Bebimon-Tike was prepared for his attack as he crossed his arms. But just as Metalla X was about to launch his attack, an energy blast came shooting out of nowhere. The warrior responds to the blast and incinerates it with his aura. Metalla X turned around to find War Angemon and noticed an evil smirk on his young brother's chagrin.
"TK! What the hell is the meaning of this? I knew you had bad aim, but this is ridiculous. You're son has been possessed by the body snatcher."
War Angemon continues to blast away at Metalla X, but was unable to maim his older brother. Metalla X phases away from each shot being fired towards his direction. He couldn't quite understand why his own brother was attacking him.
"What is this? Some kind of sick joke?"
"Ha! You just don't get it, do you, Yamato?"
The warrior faced Bebimon-Tike, who was laughing hysterically.
"Everytime I have possessed a body, I have complete control of that individual. I leave an egg within their brain and it enables me to gain complete control over their free will. Think of them as my personal puppets. Your brother and nephew were merely guinea pigs in my experiment. The same goes with every human and digimon I've previously possessed.
"Your quite the character," said Metalla X. "But you have no right to take away the free will of a human being. The same applies to digimon. You're trying too much to play like god."
"As far as I'm concerned, I will be god. Now make it easier on yourself and simply surrender your body to me. We don't want anymore violence to ensue."
Metalla X laughed hysterically at the Tufflesurian's demands and boosts his power level. Mimi looks on from her window with a smile.
"Go for it, Matt! Knock some sense into that boy!"
Bebimon-Tike came flying at Metalla X, but only managed to strike open air. The warrior of friendship appears behind Bebimon-Tike and elbows him in the back with a double-edge elbow shot. The Tufflesurian is sent plummeting down towards the earth.
"Time to end this crap, Bebimon. Now say help to everyone we've killed down in limbo."
But just as he was about to put the finishing touches to Bebimon-Tike, War Angemon flies up at Metalla X and attempted an uppercut. Metalla X saw the assault coming and flies away from being nailed. He sends a blast at War Angemon, but realized Bebimon-Tike had vanished from sight. He turns around to find Bebimon-Tike slashing his arm with a knife. Metalla X wrenched from the slash while holding his wounded arm. Now with an open opportunity, Bebimon-Tike released a silver seed. The seed was in actuality Bebimon, who had transmuted his form into the shape of a seed. The Bebimon seed entered through Metalla X's open cut wound.
"Yamato! No!" Mimi screamed in horror.
The warrior felt a burning essence flowing through his body while screaming out in agony. A bright aura consumed his body as his eyes started to transform. They had lost their pure, heavenly blue and taken a more crimson color. His hair started to turn into from blonde to pure silver and his muscles bulged into massive size.
"No! Get out of my body you bastard! I will not allow you to take my it!"
"Yes! I have found the perfect body! I am now free to exploit my power's true maximum!"
The Bebimon-possessed Metalla X levitates onto the ground. He walks over to the fallen Tike and places a hand out over him. Slowly but surely, Tike responds and rises from the ground. His eyes were emitting a crimson glow much like Metalla X. War Angemon kneels before Metalla X as a show of respect.
"Yes, my fellow Tufflesurians. You are among the first of my fleet. We shall spread the essence of my seeds throughout this planet. We'll start with the pathetic humans staring before us."
With that said, Bebimon-Metalla X turned completely around facing Mimi and Sora. A twisted smirk formed on the warrior's face. He pointed out towards the ladies and thus ordered War Angemon to stop them.
"Make sure that they are planted with my seeds. They will make excellent servants of mine."
"Yes, Bebimon!"
Palmon snatched Mimi by her arm and quickly drags out of the house through the backdoor. Meanwhile, Biyomon attempted to pull up Sora with all of her strength, but to no avail.
"C'mon, Sora! We have to get out of here! Matt's already been taken over by that creature. Let's go!"
"Wh-What happened? I remember Tike pushed me down and everything went black…"
"There's no time for that, Sora! We have to get out of here!"
Unfortunately, they were too late as War Angemon stopped Mimi and Palmon. Their screams were heard from the outside. Sora's eyes widened in utter fear as she watched Mimi and Palmon collapse onto the ground unconsciously.
"Don't worry, Sora. You won't even feel a single ounce of pain," a sinister voice spoke from the background.
Biyomon quickly turned around and prepared to attack. Metalla X shot out his right arm and grasped the pink bird around her neck. Biyomon struggled to break free, but not until Metalla X planted a silver-skinned seed through her head. The seed melted and was absorbed through her skin.
"What the hell are you doing to her?!" Sora screamed in anger.
"Like I said: No pain. Now, become one with the Tufflesurians, Sora. Forget about Taichi and that brat. You have a new family amongst the Tufflesurians. You'll enjoy it."
As soon as Metalla X reached out for Sora, she tried to crawl away. But even that couldn't save her from having a seed being planted through her right ear. The red-haired woman let out a horrifying scream before blacking out once again.
"Yes, sleep… You won't remember a thing. By the end of the day, Earth will become my new kingdom. All humans will be converted into Tufflesurians! I can't wait to see that look of sorrow on Taichi's face. That will gave me enough motivation to end his miserable life. Come on home, Taichi! You're friends will be dying to see you! Ha! Ha!"
Looking on from behind a house was Pikkan. The Alterian had listened to the entire conversation with utter horror. Even he could not stand a chance in hell against Bebimon-Metalla X.
"I have to let the others know about this. Damn it! Tai! You guys really have to get back as soon as possible!"
Digital Outer Space. Orbit of Shintomon's Planet
After many hours of exploring through space, the sapceships piloted by Tai and Takuya's groups had arrived at the orbit of Shintomon's planet. Tai and his friends looked out through the ship's windows to gaze upon the magnificent beauty of the planet. They were more than glad to have arrived.
"We've finally made it!" Davis said. "Whoo-hoo! I never want to take another long trip for a while. Though, I did catch up on my sleep."
"If only you didn't snore all the way through," muttered Veemon.
"Dad. We're finally here. So, have you decided to keep the digicores?"
"Yeah. I'll restore my age later. I think I might want to remain as a kid. At least for a little while longer."
"We're making a landing rendezvous for Shintomon's holy region," Kari announced. "You guys better hang on tight."
"I hope this landing doesn't end up killing us," Rika said.
"Kari knows what she's doing," Takato replied. "Though she could land a little slower. We've almost crashed nearly every time on our trip."
"Here we go!" Gatomon calls out. "Buckle up everyone!"
The spaceship soon started to take a nosedive towards the planet. The crew screamed out through their lungs while the ship plowed through the atmosphere. The same can be said for the ship harboring Takuya and his friends.
"Whoa! I think I'm going to be sick!" JP exclaimed.
"This is a lot funnier than any roller coaster ride!" screamed Tommy. "Yay!"
"This beats any kind of rollercoaster ride!" replied Takuya. "Enjoying the ride, Zoe?"
"Ah, my skirt!"
"Let me sit next to Zoe!" JP declared.
"In your dreams!" Zoe retorted.
"We're going to land! Here we go!" Takuya announced.
The two spaceships made their complete landing onto the holy region. Fortunately, their landing was a success and no damage was inflicted onto Shintomon's holy land.
Coming out of their mansion, Shintomon and Goseznomon came running out to greet the Digi-Destined groups. The masked man, X, instantly appears in front of the holy digimon and viewed the spaceships opening up their doors.
"Welcome back, you guys," said X. "We thought you'd never get back."
Tai and Max were the first to emerge from their ship. The goggle head leader leaps out onto the lush, green grass and kisses the ground.
"Yeah! Home sweet home… Well not quite home, but you get the idea."
"That was one sweet adventure!" Max exclaimed. "I hope we can get another opportunity like that again."
"As long as you do good in school," replied Agumon.
"Yay! Now I can eat real bread!" Guilmon cried out.
"I see you guys really enjoyed your trip," said Shintomon. "Maybe I should have gone with you."
"You won't believe but we met a demigoddess," Takato announced.
"Demigoddess? Wait a second… you actually met her?"
"I think you pretty much said it, Shintomon," Kari said. "We met Lady Moinanea."
"Are you familiar with her Shintomon?" Gatomon asked.
"I've only heard stories about her, but I haven't actually met her."
"More like never had the opportunity to meet her," Gosenzomon said. "I've met her before her banishment. She's quite the looker. Tell me. Has she retained her youth?"
"Yeah. She's beautiful," Rika replied. "Why ask?"
In reply to Rika's question, Gosenzomon did not reply but his face was starting to blush. The females realized that the perverted digimon was up to no good.
"Thank goodness Lady Moinanea decided to remain on her home," said Renamon. "I don't think even she would put up with an old pervert."
"Does she at least still have her 'bounce'?" the perverted digimon asked. "C'mon… I can't resist the beauty of a goddess… Especially if her butt…"
SMACK! Renamon and Gatomon lays out Gosenzomon with a double sucker punch. The girls nodded their heads in shame.
"Thank god TK isn't like that with me," Kari muttered. "I'm so lucky."
"Aw, c'mon. He was just kidding you guys," Davis said. "It's not like he was serious."
"Tell that to the pervert," Renamon said with a cough.
"Oh cut the old fool some slack," Veemon chuckled. "He's not as bad as you make him out to be."
"Veemon, you have nod idea," Shintomon muttered under his breath.
The other spaceship carrying Takuya and his friends opened up. Thus, they were released and stepped out to find themselves on the holy region of Shintomon's planet. Takuya walked up to Tai's group.
"Whoa! What the heck this is place?" Takuya asked.
"We're on Shintomon's home planet. Be careful not to litter," Kari informed them.
"Whoops, too late for that," JP said while accidentially dropping a candy wrapper.
"No! You've just contaminated the holy region!" Gosenzomon screeched. "Didn't anybody tell you to respect the property of others!"
"Gee, whiz… Sorry about that," JP replied to the old man's ranting.
"Wow, so this is a holy region?" Kouichi said.
"Hey, Tai. Why don't you show them the four black digicores?" Kouji said.
"Oh, yeah. I forget about that!"
Tai reached down into his backpack and holds out the four black digital cores. The deity pair gazed upon the rare gems with curiosity. Their eyes were glazed over upon their pure brilliance.
"Wow, I can't believe I'm having the privilege to gaze down upon the rare black digicores," Shintomon spoke.
"Consider it an honor my young friend," replied Gosenzomon. "Have you decided to use them to restore your age?"
"Not just yet. I'll wait a long while longer. Besides, I like being a kid and it makes Max even happier," said Tai. "Don't worry. I'll put them away somewhere safe in the meantime."
"Well, if you say so," the elder deity said.
"And who are these people?" Shintomon asked while pointing to Takuya and his friends.
"Oh. You won't believe this, Shintomon. Those six kids are the legendary warriors from the Western sector," Kari said.
"You mean to tell me that those six children inherit the six spirits of the legendary warriors? The same warriors that defeated Lucemon?!" Gosenzomon frantically asked.
"Yeah. We're the legendary warriors," Takuya replied.
"It's honor to meet you, Gosenzomon," Kouji said.
"As long as you keep your distance," Zoe said while holding her skirt.
"It's really good to know that everything went well," Shintomon said.
"By the way, I've been sensing some strange activity from Earth," X replied. "I don't know what it is, but it seems something strange has occurred within the last forty eight hours."
"That's about how long we left from our stop on Planet Yvsera," Takato said. "I wonder what's happening back home."
"Well, whatever it is, we'll be sure to check it out," Tai replied. "It shouldn't be that big of a deal. Ok, guys. I'm just about ready to get home and chow down on some dinner."
"You said, dad," Max said. "I sure hope mom is cooking up a cuisine. I want a plate full of tasty hot dogs!"
"That kid. He so reminds me of myself when I was his age," X thought. "Oh and be sure to keep those digicores well hidden."
"Will do, X. I have a safe at home," Tai stated.
"Legendary warriors. I'd like to thank you for providing Tai and his group the assistance they needed," X said. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is X."
"It's a honor," Takuya said.
"Is it just me or does he remind me of that masked dude from G-Gundam?" Tommy muttered.
"And I'm not Mr. Mask from G-Gundam! Geez, why does everyone think I'm him?"
"Well you do look like him," JP replied.
"Tai. If what X says is true, then we better stay on alert. Bebimon is still at large," Agumon informed his partner.
"Yeah, but I doubt he would have found a breech into our world. Don't worry about it. We'll be sure to find the source of the problem," Kari said.
"Agumon could be right. What if Bebimon has crossed over into our world?" Tai pondered in thought. "Ah, why am I worrying over it? Bebimon would have no chance against our friends. There's only one of him. Everything should be fine."
Earth. Worldwide view
It has been forty-eight hours since Bebimon arrived on Earth. Since then, he has managed to body snatch any available human and digimon in this path. He has gained large quantities of energy from each body and his body has evolved. Bebimon has found better use to each body by planting seeds into their brains. As a result, he gains control over their free will and 'converts' them to Tufflesurians.
Takeru and Tike were among his first victims. They now are loyal servants to the evil Tufflesurian. But Bebimon's ultimate goal came to culmination as he took possession of Metalla X's body. By taking his body, Bebimon has realized powers greater than he could ever comprehend.
Over the last two days, Bebimon has spread his seeds over the entire planet. Nearly every human and digimon was converted to bebimon's control and reborn as 'Tufflesurians'. This included every one of the Digi-Destined, their digimon partners, and the majority of their allies. Only a handful few had escaped being infected by the seeds. Those few individuals included Jeri, Leomon, Pikkan, Calumon, Impmon and his Tamers, Mummymon, Dorothy and Avengemon.
Fortunately for them, Pikkan provided them a hiding place within his training grounds in a mountain region. However, Mummymon remained in Odaiba with Avengemon to stop the sudden riots of the infected humans. There was a good possibility that Bebimon's seeds did not infect a few others. It was only a matter of time before Tai and the others would arrive back home. But they weren't going to receive the welcoming committee that they would expect. Nearly the entire Earth population now shares the same hatred for Tai as their leader, Bebimon.
Odaiba District
There was a sudden bright flash of light emerged from the forests away from the outskirts of Odaiba district. Shintomon immediately appears with Tai, Max, Keke and Agumon.
"Whew, I am so glad to be home," Keke said.
"I sure hope the others arrived at their homes safely," Max said.
"Don't worry about that, Max," Shintomon assured the boy. "X knows the whereabouts of this planet more than I do."
Max turned around and faced the brilliance of the Odaiba city lights illuminating the landscape. He inhaled a breath of fresh air, but he soon hacked out the pollution air.
"Now don't go breathing from the air in this city," Keke said.
"Tell me about it. The pollution here makes the air smell like crap. I've always considered moving away from here."
"I hope Kari and Gatomon get home safely at Shinjuku. TK and the twins have to be worried about her," Agumon said.
"Yeah, I hope so, too," Max replied. "By the way dad, where would we have to go?"
"Anywhere but here. I've always liked the fresh air, especially when I played soccer. Come to think of it. I can play soccer more at this age. I'm glad I've decided to remain a kid," Tai said while holding the bag containing the four digicores.
"Um, I'd hate to interrupt this son-father conversation, but I really have to be off," Shintomon said.
"Thanks for everything, Shintomon. Make sure to send X and Gosenzomon my regards."
"I will, Tai. Take care."
With that said, Shintomon phases out and returns back to his dimension. Eventually, Tai walked down the street with his partner and the children following his path. The first stop would be over to Matt and Mimi's home, since Keke needed to be dropped off. After that, the boys would return home and take the rest of the night off. That was the plan until Keke spoke up.
"Um, Tai. Max. Would it be ok if I stayed for the night? Then you can drop me off back home. Please? I promise that I'll be good and we could possibly order some pizza."
"That sounds great!" Max replied with a smile. "Dad? What do you think? Can she stay for the night?"
"I have no problem. Just don't go overdoing it in bed you two," Tai replied with a chuckle.
"Dad? What are you saying? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Dang it. I shouldn't have let my mouth slip. Tell you what, kiddo. I'll fill you in on everything when you get older."
Agumon smacks himself on the forehead after the remark from his partner. Max and Keke had dumbfounded looks on their innocent faces. They were much too young to understand the meaning of the 'birds and the bees'. Eventually, they would have to realize that meaning once time passes.
"C'mon! How about we hold off pizza for tomorrow? I bet Sora is cooking us up one hell of a meal by now. I'm sure X informed everyone on our return," Tai said.
"I hope she's cooking us some hot potatoes and beef steak! I love that dish of hers!" Max said with drool coming down his lips.
"You two are already making me think about dinner!" Keke exclaimed. "You've got me drooling like a dog."
They started walking towards the city and exited out from the outskirts. What had them confused was the fact that not one person was walking among the streets. Not a single person was visible and it seemed like a ghost town. Keke felt disturbed by this silence and clung onto Max. Tai and Agumon couldn't quite understand the situation.
"Where is everyone? This city is deserted," Tai wondered. "Did something happen here? I wonder if that creature attacked?"
"Maybe everyone evacuated from a crisis," Agumon said. "X did mention about a disturbance on your home planet."
Suddenly, Agumon paused as he looked up ahead to find none other than Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta and Marine Angemon. A gasp of relief came amongst the group. Tai waved and ran towards the teens.
"Kazu! Kenta! What the heck happened here? Why is everyone suddenly gone?" Tai asked.
"Where's Bebimon or whomever caused the crisis? Did it attack?!" Max asked.
"You mean a little freak that goes by and body snatches? We saw him fighting Pikkan but he got away," Kazu spoke in a raspy voice. "We're so glad you guys came back. Did you get them?"
"You mean the digicores? Yep. They're in the bag," Keke responded.
"That's good to know. You can definitely use those to help us defeat that little psycho," Kenta said. "Oh and everyone else is still in the city from what I know. Last time I checked, your wife is at home, Tai. She's been waiting."
"I bet she is! She must be cooking up some dinner right about now!" Tai said with a rumbling tummy. "We'll get there and be sure to plan out the next move on the situation."
"But before we do, we have to get our stomachs filled," Max said. "You just can't beat a grumbling Kamiya tummy. Last one there has to clean the dishes!"
"Hey! No way, dude!" Tai calls out.
"Wait for me, Tai! I don't want to clean no stinking dishes!" Agumon exclaimed.
"I'm definitely not washing dishes! I'm the guest for goodness sakes," Keke said. "The nerve of those guys…"
The group heads off towards the Kamiya apartment home, which was several blocks away. Unknown to them, Kazu and Kenta's eyes were glowing red. They muttered a few chants under their silent breath.
"Stupid humans," Kazu hissed with malice. "They must die."
"We must warn Lord Bebimon about this," replied Kenta. "Marine Angemon. Inform him on Taichi's arrival."
"You too, Guardromon."
The two digimon nodded in response to their partners and scurried off to find Bebimon. They would then inform the mutant about Tai and his allies' arrivals.
Kamiya Residence
The group finally arrived at the Kamiya apartment residence. Tai and Max walked in after sighing breaths of relief. Keke and Agumon soon followed them into the home. Just then, Sora made her presence felt and stepped out from the kitchen.
"Hey hon! We're home!" Tai exclaimed "Did you miss us?"
"Ha! Of course, you little troublemakers! Welcome home, you guys," Sora responded. "I've missed you so much. Come on. I've already prepared a meal for each of you. Oh, Keke. It's so good to see you again."
"Likewise, Mrs. Kamiya. I'm staying the night and returning home by tomorrow."
"Swell. Max could really use your company now."
This slight remark made the young boy blush as Keke rested her head on his shoulder. Tai laughed and pressed his knuckles on the embarrassed boy's head.
"My little boy is turning into a young man!" Tai said with a chuckle. "That's how every Kamiya man operates."
"Um, right. You think you could let go, dad?"
"Heh, sorry."
"Before we eat. Have you seen everyone else by any chance? Maybe like Pikkan or Matt?" Agumon asked.
"That's a good question, Agumon. I could have sworn to have seen those two flying over the apartment complex. Enough chatting, guys. Eat up. I've worked hard to make this a good dinner."
"Yay! What time is it? It's time to munch!" the group said in unison.
While turning her back on the group, Sora smiled evilly. She also hid the fact that she too was possessed by another one of Bebimon's eggs. It was planted inside of her brain and controlled every one of her actions. She planned on calling forth Bebimon soon to inform him on Tai's arrival.
"Pitiful, humans. You'll be another batch of slaves for Bebimon. However, our master has better plans for you, Taichi. He wants your blood on his hands. So enjoy this 'last supper' while you can. Heh. Heh."
Else in Odaiba. Mummymon's Famous Mansion
There was an angry mob breaking down the doors of Mummymon's newly built mansion. He has become Odaiba's newest residence ever since the D-Reaper's downfall. He was seen as a local hero, despite his weak stance amongst the other digital warriors. However, this turn of events did not do him any favors. In fact, it was his worst day and he's seen better ones.
The mob cursed and trashed everything in sight. However, Mummymon was safe in his attic with Avengemon protecting him. Mummymon was trembling at a corner.
"I can't believe this! Why are they out to kill me?"
"What did I do wrong? It's not fair! Avengemon, where the heck is Dorothy?!"
"I have no idea where my partner is. I feat that she may have been enslaved by one of Bebimon's seeds."
"One question. How come the seed hasn't affected you?"
"Well, I was once apart of the D-Reaper. I retain the ability to immobilize anything that enters my body. Since my body was able to delete anything digital, the seeds were created by a digimon. As a result, I was easily able to delete the seed. Dorothy, too, is the reincarnation of the D-Reaper and should also possess that ability."
"I see, but I'm no D-Reaper! I'm only me! It's not fair!"
"Don't worry. They won't find us up here."
Just then, the attic door broke apart as another mob came crashing in. Their crimson eyes gave a purely evil glow, which brought chills down the spine of Mummymon. Avengemon stood his ground as he prepared to attack. Mummymon quickly rose up and approached the former D-Reaper half.
"Hey! Are either one of those idiots, Bebimon?"
"No. These small fries are not possessed by Bebimon. You can take them."
With that said, a devious smile forms across Mummymon's face. He turned to face the angry mob and pointed his fist at them.
"C'mon! I'll take you wimps out and blow dry you one by one! Yu wanna piece of me, fat boys?!"
The mob charged the cocky digimon. However, Mummymon easily punched out each digimon with relative ease. One by one, the humans went down by Mummymon's fists. Mummymon stood triumphant over them with his arms rose high like a heavyweight-boxing champion.
"Yeah! Eat your heart out, Muahammad Ali!"
"Um, you better keep your eye on the game, champ."
"why is that? You said these punks were wet noodles."
"Think again, moron," Avengemon muttered.
Mummymon immediately turned around and noticed that the crowds were rising up. They didn't seem to show any emotion of pain. Mummymon's mouth dropped and started walking back. The mob was impervious to any sort of pain. This was a result to Bebimon's seeds increasing their body's strengths.
"Let's get out of here, right away! I don't want to die!"
"Grab on."
"What?"
With that said, Mummymon was snatched by his collar as Avengemon carried him off through the attic window. Avengemon takes off into the skies while Mummymon screamed out like there was no tomorrow.
"Ahh! I've always hated taking flights! I get nauseous…"
"Ugh. Why was I ever paired up with this buffoon? Dorothy? Where are you? This Bebimon is nothing but a damn nuisance. It's obvious that the entire planet is under that monster's influence. Where are Taichi and the others when you need them?"
Avengemon flew off into the far distance and towards the outskirts of the city. This would allow them time to recuperate and plan out their next move into the city. They would have to find Tai and warn him about the upcoming dangers that lurk.
Shinjuku District. Matsuki Residence
As soon as Takato and Guilmon arrived home, they found Mr. and Mrs. Matsuki sitting on stools. They didn't even seem to notice that the boy walked through the back door. There were many customers gathering around to buy bread. Takato came walking towards his parents, but they didn't seem ecstatic.
"Hey, I'm home, mom. Dad. What's up? So I don't get the welcome treatment."
"Takato. I'm sensing something weird around here. Maybe it's just me."
"It has to be. What could go wrong here?"
"Takato," Mrs. Matsuki spoke in a raspy voice. "You should have called before you got here."
"I'm sorry I didn't. I was just excited to get home as soon as possible."
"You still should have called!" hissed Mr. Matsuki.
Takato backed away from the tone of his father's voice. Mr. Matsuki slams his fist on the front cashier desk. This caused the boy and his partner to back away. Suddenly, there was a faint red glow through his father's eyes.
"Dad? What's going on? You couldn't be mad at me for just leaving. I even told you before I left. You said it was okay. I don't understand this sudden outburst."
"Takato. Those are not your parents."
"Huh? What are you talking about, Guilmon? Of course thats them."
"I don't mean it that way. They are just not themselves. It seems they are being controlled."
"Controlled?!"
Suddenly, the customers started advancing towards the teen and his digimon partner. Takato looks out to the back door and runs out immediately.
"What's the meaning of this, Guilmon? What is wrong with them?"
"I'm sensing Bebimon in them."
"What? Bebimon? You mean that Bebimon has brainwashed them some how?"
"I think so. We have to warn the others."
"We shouldn't have underestimated that little freak. Now he's gone and brainwashed my family! I just hope that the whole world isn't against us."
"Let's go find Renamon and Rika first."
"That's a good idea, Guilmon. After that, we'll go and warn the other Tamers."
"I definitely can smell Bebimon's scent from those people. He's definitely the one responsible for this."
Shibuya District. Kanbara Residence
Takuya came running out from his home while his mother and brother were attempting to break down the front door. They also bore the crimson eyes as Takato's parents did.
"What the hell?! Why are they so pissed off at me? I guess they're mad because I left the lasagna in the over for a day."
"Takuya!"
The boy looked around to track the source of the voice. Immediately, he spotted Zoe waving out to him.
"Zoe?!"
"Takuya? What is going on here? My parents have lost their minds! How can they even try to kill their own daughter?"
"I don't know, but X was right. Something must have happened here while we were away. I'm getting a bad feeling that Bebimon may be responsible for this."
"I've just called the others."
"And?"
"It doesn't look good. All of them were fortunate enough to escape harm from their parents. I told them to meet us over at the train station."
"Ok, then. We'll discuss our plans there and head out to Odaiba. We'll meet with Tai and let him know on everything that has happened. Damn, I knew that little bastard was going to find us sooner or later."
"We better hurry before he turns more people against us."
"Yeah."
Daisuke Residence
Davis and Veemon fled out from their home while Sonja shot out numerous energy blasts like a maniac. The young man wiped his forehead in relief from the harsh bitch treatment. However, in this case, Bebimon has enslaved Sonja because of the seed planted in her brain.
"Damn! I knew that woman was crazy, but this is insane! Now David wants my head. I didn't know I made them wait that long."
"No, Davis. This is Bebimon's doing. That little jerk turned our family against us. I'm willing to bet that everyone else is getting ill treatment from their families. Yeah. Bebimon has brainwashed them somehow."
"In that case, we'll find Tai and gather everyone together. Let's get going, Veemon."
"You don't have to tell me twice."
Shinjuku. Takaishi Apartment Residence
Kari and Gatomon walked into their apartment home. They realized that the house was empty and quiet. Normally, the twins would have much a commotion, but not right now. Kari was even more worried when she found the patio door being left open.
"TK! Tike! Kara! I'm home!"
"I wonder where they are? They left the front and patio doors open. TK normally would lock everything up."
"Hey, guys! We're home! Did we miss out on anything? Maybe not, except seeing the kids make pigs out of themselves."
The pair walked through the darkness of the apartment home. Gatomon realized that they were being watched and noticed a pair of red glows glowing. Kari flipped on the switch and sighed a relief. TK and the children were in the dining room.
"TK! Kids! Whew, you guys nearly scared me to death," Kari said. "Why was the door left unlocked?"
TK simply smiled and walked over to his beloved young wife. He places his hand on her right shoulder and kissed her neck. This managed to send cold chills down her spine.
"Is there something you need to tell me, TK? You're kind of scaring me."
"The children and I have missed you so much."
"It's only been about three days?"
"Yes, but it's almost been forever, sweety."
"I know and I'm glad to be home. I just hope the kids aren't mad at me."
"Of course not. As a matter of fact, they would like to express their feeling towards you. It seems they need a mother's love. Kids, I'll let you have some time with your mother for a while. Patamon, let's go."
"Right."
With that said, TK and Patamon left the dining room. This left Kari and Gatomon with the children. The feline digimon felt a dark ki emitting from the children and backed away. The twins advanced on Kari like savages. Tike runs up towards his mother and knees her in the stomach.
Hey! What's the big idea! That's your mother, Tike!" Gatomon hissed. "No, you're not Tike!"
"That's right, meddlesome digimon. I've been reborn as a Tufflesurian and a proud servant to Lord Bebimon."
"Why don't you simply surrender and become one, Gatomon?" Kara said.
"No way! I'll never join the likes of you!"
"That's too late for you, Gatomon," a familiar snake-like voice said.
Gatomon and Kari turned to find Metalla X standing with his arms crossed. The feline immediately picked up Bebimon's purely evil ki flowing through his body. He advanced towards Gatomon and chuckled.
"Remember when I entered your body from our first encounter, Gatomon?"
"Yes, what about it? I'll never forget that."
"Matt! Why are you doing this? What's the meaning of this?"
"That's not Matt anymore, Kari. It's Bebimon. There's nothing we can do to stop him… He's… Ack! Ahh!" Gatomon choked out.
"Gatomon!"
"It's too late to save her, Hikari. She's already becoming a Tufflesurian. Once I entered her body, I planted a seed in her brain. That seed enables me to control her completely and she shall pledge her allegiance to me."
"You monster… You won't win…"
"I already have won, human. Now make it easy on yourself and become one with the Tufflesurians. It's time we kill your brother, Taichi."
Metalla X approached Kari and raised his hand over her. Her screams echoed as loud as the city would hear. Unfortunately, nobody could save Kari. She, too, would become converted into a Tufflesurian. Bebimon has now managed to ensnare every member of Tai's family except Max and Tai himself. The mutant's goal of world domination was near completion.
Shibuya Train Station
Takuya and the others eventually met up with one another at the train station. They seemed rather down after the incidents with their parents. They were chased out from their own homes, because they were now brainwashed to become Bebimon's slaves.
"This is insane!" Takuya exclaimed. "Now our own families are out for our heads."
"Bebimon's managed to sink to new lows," replied Kouji. "What we need to do is find Bebimon. If we destroy him, then we might break his control over everyone."
"Wow, you make it sound easy," JP complained. "Let's just gang up on Bebimon. What if he's managed to find a strong body? We're screwed if we mess with him then."
"We're going to have it try," Zoe said. "I'm not about to give in to this maniac."
"Zoe's right. All we have to do is find Tai and let him know. I'm sure he'll lend us a hand," Takuya said. "I just hope that his family hasn't become enslaved under that monster's control. Let's get going, guys. There isn't any time to waste."
Kamiya Residence
Tai and Max were about to dig into their dinner plates until Sora opened the front door. The boys were surprised to see guests coming over for dinner.
"Aunt Kari? Uncle TK?" Max said. "You managed to get here quick."
"Don't forget about us!" exclaimed Tike and Kara.
"Hey, it's good to see you two. I called dibs on the steak and potatoes by the way," Keke said with a smile.
"So you actually found the black digicores of legend?" TK directed his question towards Tai.
"We sure did. Hasn't Kari even told you?"
"Um, sure she said, but I wanted to hear it from you. Heh…"
"Oh, there's plenty to eat here for three families, TK. Join us."
"Don't mind if I do."
"But I have another question, Tai. Do you plan on using the digicores to turn yourself back to normal?"
Tai stood frozen while thinking to himself. He made his obvious choice beforehand. Everyone faced him, but little did Tai realize that several of them were eyeing him with death glares. The boy snapped his fingers and came up with his final decision.
"I wanted to remain a kid," he replied. "Besides, I can spend more time with Max and become like an older brother to him. We're going to have lots of fun."
Max nodded his head in agreement and reached out for the digicore bag. He held them over his head with pride.
"So, when do we start grubbing down?" Tai asked. "I could eat a horse by now."
Sora frowned and slammed her fists on the table. Max, Tai and Keke were quite alarmed by her aggression and were questioning her motives.
"Was it something I just said?" Tai wondered. "I'm sorry if I'm demanding but I can't help it."
"Yeah, mom. Just cut us some slack. We've come back from such a long trip," Max replied.
The woman chuckled to herself and pointed a finger to them. After that, TK, Kari and the twins sat up from their chairs. Tai and the others were getting an uneasy feeling.
"There will be no supper for you, Taichi Kamiya. For this will be your last supper," Sora hissed. "Lord Bebimon wants your heads on a platter."
"Mom?! What are you saying?! Is this some sort of joke?!" Max asked. "If it is, I don't like it."
Keke held tightly onto Max while Tai and Agumon covered them. Sora and the others were slowing approaching them with their eyes glowing. Yes, this clearly indicated that they were under Bebimon's control.
"Damn! Why is this happening?!" Tai wondered. "Did Bebimon have a hand in this? Don't tell me he's managed to enslave our family and friends! Sora! Kari! TK! Snap out of it!"
"Dad, we can't fight them. They are family!"
"I know! Agumon, you heard him. We can't assault them," Tai told his partner.
"This isn't good. Bebimon must have plotted this from the start! He knew that we would have beaten him. So he must have found a passageway from the other world into your world, Tai. As a result, he succeeded in brainwashing everyone we know."
"No way! That's utterly insane!" Tai exclaimed.
Within a few moments, TK and Patamon fused together into the holy warrior: War Angemon. Kari and Gatomon immediately merged together to become Celesta X. The twins balled up their fists.
Tike and Kara flew over toward Max and Keke. The children duo managed to knock down Max and Keke. Max was utterly in disbelief that his newest enemies would be his own cousins.
"No! I can't fight you guys. You maybe under Bebimon's control, but you're apart of my family."
"Max! We've got to get out of here right away," Keke said.
"Not without dad and Agumon."
Celesta X fired away a ki blast towards Max and Keke. However, they were able to dodge the shot at the last second. Max protected Keke and turned to face his aunt.
"Aunt Kari! You have to stop this madness. I can't fight you."
"Tell me. Are you two really Tai and Kari?!" Tai asked with anger at the tone of his voice.
"Huh? Well, I sure do look like TK. So… Yeah, I'm still me," War Angemon said with a chuckle.
War Angemon fires his own ki blast towards Tai, but Agumon was able to slap the blast away from his partner.
"I'm also still Kari," Celesta X said. "We're no imposters and these are our real children."
After finishing her statement, Celesta X ruthlessly shot out numerous ki blast. Agumon was there to intercept and slap away each blast.
"Kari. I never taught you to attack your opponent from behind," Tai said. "You've stooped low."
Celesta X merely smirked and nodded to her children. Tike and Kara shot out numerous ki blasts. Agumon and Max easily countered each blast with defense attacks of their own. Agumon and Max made their next move by executing a double dropkick to Celesta X.
"We're sorry, Aunt Kari. We have to do this to help you."
With that said, Max cupped his hands together as he prepared to use a technique taught to him by his Agumon. This was the Tsunami Wave. Originally, X taught the technique to Agumon as a last form of defense. The reptile digimon now passed it onto Max as a last resort.
Suddenly, the boy was stopped as numerous voices came calling out from outside the apartment complex. Tai turned to find War Growlmon crashing at the front entrance to the apartment complex. Takato came jumping down with Takuya, Zoe and the other children.
"Takato! Takuya! Hey, you guys made it!" Max cried out.
"Yes. Right in the knick of time!" exclaimed Keke.
"Don't attack them, Max! They are still your family. Bebimon has put every human on this planet under Bebimon's control!" Takato cries out.
"He's managed to influence our families!" Takuya replied.
"Yeah. He's also managed to get Rika and Renamon under control!" War Growlmon stated.
"Does that include everyone of the other Digi-Destined?" asked Tai.
"Everyone except a few," Zoe said. "At least, I hope so… Wait, Davis and veemon managed to escape from Bebimon's influence. He should get here anytime by now."
"Yes. We are reborn as Lord Bebimon's Tufflesurians," Biyomon hissed. "You foolish humans will die."
Suddenly, there was a deep laughter echoing from around the apartment complex. Everyone looked up to find a familiar figure standing on top of a roof. The figure managed to fly down and revealed himself to be Bebi-Metalla X. Tai held Max and Keke back from the smiling villain.
"Well, hello there, Taichi. It's nice to see you again," Bebi-Metalla X said. "I've been expecting you."
"Matt?! No! Not you too!" Tai exclaimed in utter disbelief.
"No! That's Bebimon, Tai! He's responsible for turning everyone against us!" Agumon said.
"You son of a bitch!" Tai cursed.
"Yes, isn't it convenient? Now I have taken over the body of your best friend, Taichi. He's provided me with the strongest power I desire," Bebi-Metalla X chuckled in laughter.
Tai and Agumon were now prepared to face off against their enemy, Bebimon, who has successfully possessed Metalla X's body. This would become their biggest test to date. They will have to destroy Matt's body in order to defeat Bebimon.
Every human on the planet have been converted into Tufflesurians and will carry out Bebimon's desires. The mutant has taken possession of Matt's fusion form. He has gained the ultimate power on earth and sets his sights on Tai. Will our heroes find a way to stop Bebimon's madness? Or will Omega X stand up against the new threat?

This is Really Bad! Omega X Level Three Fails?!
Max stopped collecting energy as numerous voices came calling out from outside the apartment complex. Tai turned to find War Growlmon crashing at the front entrance to the apartment complex. Takato came jumping down with Takuya, Zoe and the other children.
"Takato! Takuya! Hey, you guys made it!" Max cried out.
"Yes. Right in the knick of time!" exclaimed Keke.
"Don't attack them, Max! They are still your family. Bebimon has put every human on this planet under Bebimon's control!" Takato cries out.
"He's managed to influence our families!" Takuya replied.
"Yeah. He's also managed to get Rika and Renamon under control!" War Growlmon stated.
"Does that include everyone of the other Digi-Destined?" asked Tai.
"Everyone except a few," Zoe said. "At least, I hope so… Wait, Davis and veemon managed to escape from Bebimon's influence. He should get here anytime by now."
"Yes. We are reborn as Lord Bebimon's Tufflesurians," Biyomon hissed. "You foolish humans will die."
Suddenly, there was a deep laughter echoing from around the apartment complex. Everyone looked up to find a familiar figure standing on top of a roof. The figure managed to fly down and revealed himself to be Bebi-Metalla X. Tai held Max and Keke back from the smiling villain.
"Well, hello there, Taichi. It's nice to see you again," Bebi-Metalla X said. "I've been expecting you."
"Matt?! No! Not you too!" Tai exclaimed in utter disbelief.
"No! That's Bebimon, Tai! He's responsible for turning everyone against us!" Agumon said.
"You son of a bitch!" Tai cursed.
"Yes, isn't it convenient? Now I have taken over the body of your best friend, Taichi. He's provided me with the strongest power I desire," Bebi-Metalla X chuckled in laughter.
Tai faced off with Bebi-Metalla X with Agumon standing by his side. Max and Keke seized their attacks for now. Metalla X smiled and uncrosses his arms.
"What have you done to our families and friends?!" Tai asked with venom through the tone of his voice. "You did something to them! Give a straight answer now!"
"Feh, what is there to explain about? It's very clear your friends and family were getting sick of waiting for you. I'd be pissed if I had to wait for your selfish ass. I don't blame them one tiny bit for losing patience. How would you feel if you were forced to wait for your loved ones after going away on a long trip? You'd feel miserable. Now they want to the privilege to extract their frustrations on you."
"You know you're full of it!" Max cried out. "Our family would never turn their backs on us!"
"Sure, that's what you think, kid. They've grown tired of your heroic ways. It's gotten stale. Quite frankly. I'm their new hero. You humans are earth's sworn enemy."
Max growls under his breathe and balls up his fists. Keke couldn't believe the Tufflesurian's announcement. Everyone, including their families, was against them. She didn't want to believe the fact that her own father was possessed by the power-hungry parasite. Her family was now converted into Tufflesurian slaves.
"Dad! Let's tear this monster apart! But first we have to free Matt from under his control."
"Agreed. Agumon, let's kick some ass!"
"You know I'm up for it!"
With that said, Agumon and his human partner immediately merged into a single sphere of energy. Their bodies became engulfed by an orange blanket of light and were fused together into a complete, single entity. They became the warrior, Omega X. The courage warrior steps out from out of the evolution sphere and stands before the enemy. Omega X screams out as an aura of orange light covered his majestic form. Meanwhile, Max stepped into a fighting stance with fury in his eyes.
Bebi-Metalla X looks on with a devious grin.
"Yes. That's more it like fellow warriors. That's what I want to see. With this new body, I can easily read your ki levels. I've gotten used to maintaining my power in this body. So don't let it go to your heads. I still have the edge over you."
"Shut that yap!" Omega X exclaimed. "We're putting an end to this whole ordeal. Keke. Takato. Takuya. Everyone. This just might get messy. You guys better get out of here. This jackass only wants Max and me."
"Are you sure you guys can take him?" Takato asked.
"Even in his base form, he was a tricky little bastard," Takuya replied.
"You just might need our help!" Zoe calls out.
"Don't worry about us," Max stated. "We were way too careless then. We're finally prepared for this and know what to expect from this creep."
"Max…"
"Keke. I can't let you stay here. No offense, but you'll only get in our way. We can't fight with everything we have if you remain here. Don't worry. We'll finish this as soon as possible. We'll get your parents back, Keke. That's a promise."
"Okay… But promise me one thing."
The boy turns and faces Keke. The young girl walks over and plants a kiss on her Romeo, Max. The boy blushed all over his face and smiles.
"Promise to come back safely."
"I will. That's a promise I'm willing to give."
"I'll see you then. Ready, Takato? Takuya?"
"Yeah. Let's get going," said Takato.
"We better hurry and get the hell out of here. That creep seems to be showing interest towards us," Takuya said.
"Yeah. I don't like the look he's giving! I just want to smack that grin off his face," JP said.
"I'd like to see you try and say it when your back isn't turned," Zoe muttered.
"I'm on a role here…"
After their brief conversation, Keke hops onto War Growlmon's back. The cyborg reptile takes off into the air with everyone, except Tai and Max. They flew away where they couldn't be seen by Bebi-Metalla X and the other possessed slaves. Max turns his attention away from Keke and back onto his enemy. Bebi-Metalla X smirked and shook his head in dismay.
Celesta X took notice of their leave for a while and points her palm towards them. She aimed and was prepared to incinerate them with a massive ki blast.
"I'll finish them off for you, Lord Bebimon."
"No! Let them go. We'll go after them later. There is no need to waste your energy on small fries."
"Fine. Everyone lower your ki," War Angemon ordered everyone else.
By his command, every possessed fighter dropped his or her ki levels. Tai, Agumon and Max stood their ground while Bebi-Metalla X faced them. The mutant chuckled to himself.
"It's such a shame. I was beginning to have feelings for that girl. After all, the host I'm possessing wishes that her sweet, innocent daughter would become one with the Tufflesurians."
"I've grown tired of your mouth! You don't even know a damn thing about Keke! You have no right to possess her dad's body! Max retorted. "What you're doing is wrong! You've pushed me too far! It seems words won't even change your damn mind! Looks like we're going to have to do this the hard way then."
"You know I agree with you, boy. I was beginning to want to vomit from that piece of shit you call a speech."
Omega X turned towards the direction of his wife, who now bore crimson eyes. His own sister and brother-in-law were now under the mutant's control. This was the same sister who helped him find the digicores in the first place. Tike and Kara also were under Bebimon's control. Watching his own family being enslaved further angered the warrior. He faced Bebi-Metalla X.
"So, are we ready to rumble, boys? I've been itching for a good fight. As a would be announcer would say, let's get ready to rumble!" Bebi-Metalla X taunted the warrior pair.
"You want a rumble?!" Max asked. "Well, you sure are going to get one. You won't be disappointed."
"Bring it on!"
"With pleasure! Kick your ass time!" Max and Omega X exclaimed in unison.
(Play Final Fantasy X Boss Battle theme)
The duo flew straight towards Bebi-Metalla X. They slammed their fists right into his chest. The combined force managed to send the possessed warrior crashing through the apartment roof. The warriors flew right after their prey. Bebi-Metalla X stopped in mid-air and found the duo at opposite side ends. Max flew right towards Bebi-Metalla X from the left side. The two started to trade blows with each other. Max delivered a kick to Bebi-Metalla X's head, which caught the Tufflesurian by surprise.
With a loud battle cry, Omega X phases in front of Bebi-Metalla X. The warrior of courage slams his right fist into Bebi-Metalla X's face. The mutant cries out in pain for a few moments, until a grin formed on his bruised face.
"Not bad. You two are far more aggressive than I gave you credit for."
"Dad. I'm getting a bad feeling about this."
"I hear you. He most likely wanted us to attack him with our most ferocious attacks, in order to test us. He's definitely up to something. That bastard."
Bebi-Metalla X phases right in front of the warrior pair with his arms crossed. The warrior duo went for a double-team clothesline, until Bebimon completely phases out from sight. They merely clotheslined air instead.
"He's gone! Dang, he's fast!" Max stated promptly.
"Keep your eyes, peeled. Damn, where did he go?!"
"Up here, you fools!"
The warriors looked up into the heavens to find Bebi-Metalla X standing on top of an apartment building. There was noticeable smirk on his chagrin. Omega X wasn't surprised by the mutant's superior speed; yet, he wasn't going to let it distract his concentration.
"A little surprised, are we? Well that was only a fair share of my full power. However, I'm through playing with you two dimwits."
"Quit flattering yourself!" Max exclaimed. "My dad and I can put down the likes of you! You're just hiding your own bluff, faker."
"Oh? Is that the case?"
Bebi-Metalla X held out his hands behind his back and started forming two pairs of energy balls. Omega X felt the mutant's sudden ki increase and turns his complete attention onto Max.
"Max! Don't go anywhere near him! He's just trying to psych you out and lure you into a trap. Don't let him provoke you."
"All right, dad."
"Aww, you just had to go spoil all the fun and ruin my strategy," said Bebi-Metalla X. "But, let me make up for that."
"Max! Look out!"
Bebimon pushes back his hands and released twin beams of energy. Max was unable to detect them and was soon about to be incinerated. However, Omega X saw the twin beams coming and phases right in front of his son. Max was taken back by surprise.
"Dad?!"
"Take cover!"
The twin blasts nail Omega X in a head-on collision, which resulted in a backlash effort. The force sent Max plummeting as he witnessed his own father being hit by the enormous amount of energy blasts. Bebi-Metalla X stood with a satisfied grin on his face.
"Dad! Are you all right?!"
The mutant jumps off the building and began to survey the location of the explosion. He scanned through the smoke blankets covering the landscape. His grin became a frown as he watched a familiar figure rise out from the smoke clouds. The Tufflesurian didn't even make a single scratch on his adversary.
"All right, dad! What a way to escape a messy predicament!"
"Damn! That wasn't even close. C'mon, Bebimon. You'll have to do way better than that."
Bebi-Metalla X chuckled to himself and this did not suite well for the warrior pair. The villain was literally amused for unknown reasons. Omega X was starting to think that Bebimon had lost his sanity.
"You're right, Taichi. I was only playing around. I'm turning this battle up a notch!"
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X immediately phases out and caught Omega X by surprise with a fist to the warrior's face. Max was taken back by this and went for a spinning back kick from behind the mutant. Bebimon saw it coming and phases out. Max stopped and was drilled with a fist to his gut. Bebi-Metalla X flips up and launches himself at Omega X. The warrior quickly recovers as he saw Bebimon preparing to launch himself at him. Omega X cupped his hands, but was caught off guard immediately as Bebimon phased out. Omega X turned around and was sent flying back by a boot to his face.
"Crap! This dude is faster than I thought! In Metalla X's body, Bebimon is ferocious than he ever was! This is simply insane!" Max thought.
Bebimon looked down as he flew towards Max and delivers a head butt to him. The force sent the boy plummeting down onto the concrete streets below. Omega X slowly recovers and gripped his injured shoulder. Bebimon turned to face his adversary.
(End theme)
"So, ready for round two, you butthead?"
"Bebimon! You said you weren't even trying to give it your all?"
"Yeah? What's it to you, punk?"
"Obviously. If you're possessing Matt's body, then you'd realize that I can go beyond the level of that of a fused warrior and well beyond that."
"Huh? Wait. Yes, I do recall something like that. According to Yamato's memories, I can clearly see a warrior with spiked hair and eyes of a demon. Don't tell me…"
"You damn straight, jack. Now, allow me to show you what the true depths of a digital warrior are fully capable of! Digital fusion level three!"
Bebimon stood back and watched as Omega X began powering up. The digital warrior screamed out like many times before. There were now streaks of lighting covering his body. The clouds started to swirl as Omega X's power increase caused side effects to occur over the planet.
"Yes. Finally, I can get a decent fight from you in this new form you call 'beyond the level of a fused warrior'. Whatever the hell he's talking about…"
Max looked up as a smile formed on his chagrin. This was going to be the boy's first glance of his father powering up into the third level of a fusion warrior. In other words, it was a rare treat for Max Kamiya since he's only heard it through his family's discussions.
"Go… Go for it, dad! Kick his ass!"
Within a few seconds, Omega X increased his body's maximium size not to mention his power. Bebi-Metalla X was growing fond and seemed excited to test his strength against Omega X level three. The mutant wanted a true challenge and his wish has come true. The entire planet was fleeing the aftereffects of the warrior's ki increase.
Omega X lifts his head and faced the possessed enemy with determination painted on his face.
"Bebimon. Let's get this over with."
Elsewhere in Odaiba
Davis was riding on his partner, Wyveemon. The winged champion soared over the Odaiba skylines while surveying the city. Wyveemon could not pick up the lcoation of his digimon allies since they were emitting evil ki. The seeds planted in them suppressed every trace of their pure good ki.
"Geez, Veemon. I don't get any of this. Are you saying that Bebimon might have a hand at this?"
"I'm sure it's all because of Bebimon. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out."
"No kidding, especially if you're own wife and foster son wants to kill you. I'm not ever going to forgive him."
Suddenly, Wyveemon turned around to find something head out towards him with tremendous speed. Davis couldn't tell who it was, nor would Wyveemon. This object was not transmitting a single source of ki, neither good nor evil. It plainly did not give off any sort of ki.
"Wyveemon! Have any idea what's coming right at us?"
"I'm not sure, but I can't sense any energy from it. Wait! That's it! We better high tail it now!"
"Why is that? It couldn't really be that harmful…"
"That's besides the point, Davis. You want to be forced into the kitchen for the rest of your life?"
"Oh crap! She's followed us al this way?! Wyveemon! Why didn't you move a little faster? I wasted my time feeding your gluttonous appetite!"
"It's not my fault! I was hungry, plus I needed energy to digivolve!"
"Well, we can't move any faster! Here she comes!"
As soon as he said that, Sonja was seen sparing through the clouds with her sights set on Wyveemon. She holds out her palms and fired an enormous energy beam. Wyveemon managed to maneuver away like a glider with Davis hanging on tightly.
"Whoa, Wyveemon! Watch it! I almost fell off my high horse!"
"That's putting it bluntly, Davis. She's not going to hold back!"
"No kidding!"
"Humans! Bebimon has called for your heads! Anyone who is associated with Taichi shall die," Sonja hissed. "Eat this!"
Sonja unleashes an array of energy beams a little at a time. Wyveemon immediately forms a barrier around himself and his partner. This provided them protection and disintegrated the blasts. Davis wiped his forehead in relief.
"That was a close one, Wyveemon! I thought I was going to be barbeque!"
"Oh no! Here she comes! Hang on tight!"
The artificial half-human launches herself through Wyveemon's barrier. She goes for an offensive assault, but Wyveemon immediately darts off into the upper distance. Sonja stops and makes chase after Wyveemon. The champion glider soars down and levels Sonja with a claw slash.
"Hey, chill out, Wyveemon! She might be on under Bebimon's control, but she's still my wife!"
"Maybe so, but she'll do whatever it takes to rip both of our heads off just to please Bebimon! What's it going to be, Davis?"
"Defend ourselves. We have no choice, plus I'm sure she would rather want us to take her down than to kill us."
"I'm glad you're starting to get the picture, Davis."
"You know me. Let's not hold anything back."
"Davis. I know that you're against placing harm on Sonja. I know you deeply love her, but even you have to realize that she's become our enemy. Damn, I just wish the bitch didn't have to go and try to incinerate me!"
"Sonja! We're sorry if it had to come down to this! But we have no choice. We will fight back and not allow ourselves to become a primary target. If there's anything we could do, then we would have freed you from Bebimon's control. But we don't… So, get ready. We're not going to hold back! Do you hear us, Bebimon?! Davis Motomiya is coming for you! I'll take down even my own wife just get myself a piece of you!"
With a loud battle cry, Wyveemon turns and flies towards Sonja with full speed. He flew like he has never flown before. Sonja puts up her arms in a defense stance and proceeds to create a barrier. Davis cries out along with Wyveemon as they broke through her barrier. Wyveemon slams himself into Sonja causing her to scream out in pain. The champion digimon's form was then enveloped in a bright aura. The energy was coming from Davis' D-3 and the Digi-Destined took notice of this.
"What the hell is going on?! My D-3 is going off!"
"It's… I'm going to digivolve again, Davis! Brace yourself! This is not over! Need more power to put her down! Wyveemon shinka!"
With that said, an explosion of bright light started to engulf the heavens around the small area. Davis looked on as his partner started to evolve into a new form. Sonja couldn't believe her eyes and viewed Wyveemon's transformation unfold.
"What?! How is the little blue butterball able do this?!"
"Heh, this blue butterball is going to surprise you."
Away at the outskirts of Odaiba
War Growlmon was seen flying over the city of Odaiba. He was fortunate to not have been found by any of the brainwashed citizens. That is until he completely stopped while in mid-air. Keke felt an uprising power from far out into the distance. Takato and the others turned to see a bright flash of energy exploding from out of the further city distance. A smirk formed on Keke's face. It seemed she knew what was transpiring from where the battle was ensuing.
"Keke? What is it?"
"That light is bright! I can barely see what's going on over there!" said Takuya.
"It's Max's dad," replied Keke. "He's already increasing his power into that of… Is this his third level power I've been hearing from my parents?! Ah! War Growlmon, you feel it?"
"Yeah. He's awesome!" the cyborg ultimate said with enthusiasm. "He's going to kick Bebimon around like a soccer ball."
"Nice way to describe the situation," Tommy said.
"What's this third-level fusion form?" Kouichi asked.
"I'd like to know for once," Kouji replied.
"It's sort of hard to explain, but Max's dad is capable of reaching multiple forms. Each one is stronger than the other," Keke said. "This third level is Tai's ultimate power. He can't go any further than that. At least, I don't think so…"
"Hey! Aren't we forgetting someone?" a deep voice calls out. "Tai gets all the praise, but I'm left out in the dark."
War Growlmon, Takato, Keke and everyone else looked from behind themselves to find Pikkan floating about. He held Jeri around his arms and behind him were Leomon and Avengemon. Impmon and Calumon were seen clinging tightly onto Avengemon.
"Hey! You guys managed to make it out of there! That's good!" Takato exclaimed. "I'm glad we still have some friends."
"Who are these guys?" JP asked.
"Don't worry. They are our friends," Keke said. "They're not under Bebimon's control."
"Feh. No one controls me," Impmon muttered. "I can't even control myself at times."
"I can't control my eating habits," Calumon said. "Um, make sure not to drop us, Avengemon."
"You're safety is my priority," Avengemon replied.
"Pikkan! How were you able to escape being out under control?" War Growlmon asked. "I could ask the same for everyone else."
"Simple. Alterians were once considered defenders to the Tufflesurians. They were weak and excelled through as peace diplomats. We defended them against ever kind of enemy, until we were summoned to another dimension to fight off an invading dark force. As a result, the Tufflesurians were left vulnerable against a digital human race. The Tufflesurians were wiped out, until only one remained. The emperor had his DNA transferred into an alien embryo and thus the embryo mutated into the monster, Bebimon."
"That still doesn't explain why you were immune to Bebimon's seed effects," Zoe pointed out.
"Quiet. Don't you realize that I'm trying to build up the suspense?"
"He's already putting me to sleep," Calumon yawned.
"Shut it, butterball! As I was saying, our race is immune to any mind control techniques. This also includes Bebimon's use of brain seed harvesting. We also created antidotes to ward off such little problems. That is how I cured everyone here. There are others waiting for us in the outskirts."
"Don't forget us," Impmon muttered. "Just because I'm small now doesn't mean I can take it to ya…"
With that said, Pikkan phases in front of Impmon and gave a look that could kill. Impmon simply shrunk away by the Alterian's intimidating presence.
"Be nice, Pikkan," Jeri said. "Please, for me."
"I'll let you off easy, Impmon. But you should thank Jeri. Otherwise, I would have rammed my fist my fist in your face."
"Yes… sir…"
"That's enough," Leomon calls out. "This isn't junior high."
"No kidding. Don't you guys feel it? Tai has already reached his third level form!"
"Now this is something I have got to see," Pikkan said.
"What are we waiting for? This something we can't miss!" Takato exclaimed. "Tai! Here we come!"
C'mon, Tai! You're the father of Max. I've heard stories of how you overcame impossible odds before," Max thought. "You've beaten nearly every bad guy the digital world had to offer. This Bebimon creep shouldn't be any different!"
Odaiba City District
Omega X continued to power up and gather energy. The aura enveloping his body started to grow larger and larger by the minute. Bebi-Metalla X stood still in mid-air while watching the warrior's power up ensues. The streaks on Omega X's back were no longer sticking up but oushed straight back. With lighting dancing around him, the hairstreaks lengthened. It was now very long and streaked back like that of Sonic the Hedgehog. His chest and muscles expanded in size. His eyebrows disappeared and were replaced by thick brows.
"Damn! He went all the way! He's gone to the third level!" Celesta X said.
"This doesn't look good not even for Lord Bebimon," replied War Angemon.
Bebi-Metalla X smiled with satisfaction while watching the newly evolved warrior. Omega X turned to face him with fury in his eyes.
"So, this is your strongest form?"
"Yes, I've gone straight to beyond my limits."
"I see. So you've succeeded by combining your peak of power all into one small package? Nicely done, but will it still be enough to phase even me?"
"We'll just see, won't we?"

Bebi-Metalla X merely frowned and phases out from sight. Omega X followed suite with the villain. There were bright streaks of light flashing across the nightly skies. Max looked on as the two light streaks collided with one another with incredible force.
"Woo! They're so fast! I can't even keep up with them! I wish I could reach up to levels like dad. Stay on him, dad."
The warriors traded punches and kicks. Omega X cupped his hands and fired away an array of ki blasts. Bebi-Metalla X saw them coming and evaporates them with his own hands. Omega X growled and phased above the possessed warrior. He goes for a kick, but Bebimon catches his foot. Bebimon goes for a nut shot, but Omega X phased away. Bebimon turns around and is met with a spinning back kick. The mutant managed to block with one arm. After that, Omega X proceeded to throw out many punches. The mutant countered those shots.
Omega X cries out and cupped his hands behind his back. Bebi-Metalla X turns to face his adversary with a look of curiosity.
"TERRA-"
Bebi-Metalla X placed his hands in front of himself while Omega X was forming a large sphere of energy through his hand's palms.
"BEAM!"
The fused warrior fired away a large energy blast that hurtled towards Bebimon. The warrior smirked as he caught the blast and delivers a kick to it. The blast goes shooting up through the heavens. Omega X was caught by surprise by this come back and watched the blast explode within the atmosphere. The explosion caused a bright flash that turned everything completely white. Omega X turned his attention back on the task at hand. Bebimon was amused by his adversary's incompetence.
(End theme)
"Is that the best you've got, Taichi? You have disappointed me."
"I can't believe he got rid of my Terra Beam with a kick! Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. Don't think that I've run out of fresh ideas, Bebimon. It's not over."
"Then, let us continue."
On the other side of Odaiba
Sonja was sent flying back from a powerful energy explosion. Wyveemon was trapped inside an energy sphere and started to evolve into his newest form. Davis felt his body being digitized and slowly his body turned into bits of data.
"What's going on, Veemon?"
"Davis. Do you remember when you said you wanted to fuse with me? You wanted to know the realities of digital fusion."
"Yeah, I remember."
"Guess what, buddy? Our dream is coming true."
"You mean?!"
"That's right. Together we'll be one kick ass fighting machine!"
As soon as Wyveemon made that comment, he and Davis were being fused with each other. The mergence gave off a strong aura of blue light. Their battle cries echoed through the heavens. Sonja recovers and watches them fuse into a single entity.
"What the hell is this?! That human and his digimon are going for their fusion evolution! Into Paildramon? No, he's a weakling…"
"As a matter of fact, Paildramon is no more…" a fused voice spoke out from within the energy sphere. "But, you can call me…"
The energy sphere breaks apart and then emerges a well-built warrior with powerful ki emitting from his body. His body is purely dark blue with a chiseled form. Parts of his newly developed body had armor, which covered his chest, arms and shoulders. His face was similar to Xveemon but with a few of Davis' facial features. The fused fighter throws out a few punches with rapid speed.
Sonja was taken back by this turn of events. She felt his power rise, but remained confident. The warrior looks over to Sonja and smirks.
"You can call me MegaVeemon," he spoke with a combination of Davis and Veemon's voices.
"MegaVeemon? I see. So you've managed to merge together, Davis. But do you really think you'll be able to defeat Lord Bebimon? You don't even come close to presenting yourself as a threat to him."
"It doesn't matter to me. As long as I help my friends, I could care less what happens to me. Sonja, let's not fight. Simply just take off and leave us be. You don't stand a chance against me at the moment. Make it easy on yourself."
"Me run away? No. I'm going to carry out Lord Bebimon's wishes. Why don't you become one with the Tufflesurians. Then you, David and me can be one happy family. Isn't that what you want?"
"No, I want a family who don't thirst for violence and hatred. Bebimon is a heartless bastard, who will eventually dispose of you."
Sonja gasped as she listened to her husband ramble on while verbally bashing Bebimon. Her eyes emitted a crimson glow because of this. MegaVeemon immediately responded to this and phases out. This caught Sonja by surprise and she was left defenseless. Within a second, she felt an incredible force ram into her stomach.
"You… bastard… That was… unfair…"
Sonja responded to MegaVeemon's assault and delivers an elbow shot to his head. However, MegaVeemon caught her right arm and threw her off. The artificial half-human screamed out as she tosses an energy beam. MegaVeemon slaps it away effortlessly.
"You're going to have to do better than that, honey."
"Damn you! I will carry out Lord Bebimon's wishes! You will die!"
"Then, you leave me no choice. V-Blade!"
With that said, MegaVeemon puts his hand out and an energy-based sword materialize in front of him. He takes the weapon and immediately rushes over at Sonja. The warrior slashes through the artificial woman with superior speed. However, there was no damage inflicted on her. Sonja felt her body go limp and she loses complete consciousness. As her limp body plummeted to the streets below, MegaVeemon managed to catch her before slamming into the concrete. He found an alleyway and placed her against a wall.
"Rest easy, babe. We'll take care of this bastard. I promise we'll restore you to the way you are."
MegaVeemon turns his attention over to the area where Bebimon's ki was strongest. He takes off and left Sonja to rest.
"Hang on, Tai! I'm coming! I can't wait to see the look on your face! You're going to get extremely jealous of my new fusion form! But, first things first… Bebimon, you're going to pay for messing with my family! I'm taking your ass down!"
Odaiba City District
After phasing many times during their battle, Omega X and Bebi-Metalla X traded blows with one another. Omega X saw an opportunities to attack with nasty punches and kicks to the mutant. It seemed that Bebimon was showing signs of fatigue. Omega X was gaining the upper hand on the possessed warrior. Bebimon reached out as his hand started collecting mysterious ki energy.
Bebi-Metalla X flies out towards Omega X and rams his energy-coated fists into his gut. He then grabbed Omega X and slams him into the ground below. The impact of his fall left a large crater with Omega X lying sprawled. He was out of his third-level form and completely fatigued because the form drained him of most of his energy. Rather than a look of pain, there was a smile on the warrior's chagrin.
"Ha. You look so helpless there, Taichi. It's sad really. I'm going to end this quick."
"Then, come and get me, jack ass."
Omega X chuckled under his breath, which didn't bide well for Bebimon. The mutant was becoming irritated by the hero's antics.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Bebi-Metalla X responds to his adversary's laughter and glides down. He unleashes a fury of invisible vibration waves. Each shot pushed Omega X down through the earth. Bebi-Metalla X had seen enough of Omega X's antics and raised his arms over his head.
"Come my children! Transfer your each to me! It's time we finish off this nuisance!"
"Yes, Lord Bebimon!" War Angemon and Celesta X exclaimed.
"We do as we command," the twins responded.
(Play Inuyasha background theme Miasma theme)
Bebi-Metalla X stepped in the center of the heavens with War Angemon, Celesta X and the twins gathered around him. Each one submitted a fair amount of energy towards Bebimon. The mutant took away all of the energy submitted to him. His laughter echoed throughout the heavens while clouds gathered around them. The skies became a crimson color.
Omega X looked up and watched Bebi-Metalla X's body morphing. Max looked on with utter disbelief and cried out towards his father. Bebi-Metalla X's body was now a multi-color bodysuit. His hair became spiked into a curve with silver pigmentation. His eyes were now completely dark blue without any pupils visible. A malevolent grin forms on his chagrin.
"There you go, Lord Bebimon. This is the majority of our own energy," Celesta X said. "I hope it's enough…"
"Yes! Yes! This is good! Now prepare yourself, Taichi! You can thank your own family and friends for helping me bring you to your downfall. Now pay attention! This is what I call power!"
"Damn it! He's even stronger than dad now! What kind of a difference am I going to make in this?" Max wondered. "C'mon, dad! You've managed to pull out miracles before."
"Well, I've got to hand it to you, Bebimon. You're the best. But the winner doesn't always end up with the most power."
"Oh, really?! Who's going to stop me?"
"I am! I don't know how, but I'm going to pull through with this. I'm a guy who can pull out all the stops and have luck on my side. Sorry, Bebimon. You're going down and I intend to carry out on my promise."
Omega X was beginning to lose focus as his eyes started to fade. Bebi-Metalla X raised his hands over his head to gather more negative energy from the planet itself.
"Enough of this blasphemy!"
Bebi-Metalla X instantly vanished from sight and slams his fist into Omega X's chest. The warrior lets out a cry of pain and anguish. Max could only look on helplessly and knowing full well that he doesn't stand a chance against the fully powered mutant. Omega X's armored chest was shattered due to the impact of his fist.
(End theme)
"Hear me, my Tufflesurian people! Lend me your energy! Help me exterminate the one human I despise the most! Taichi has fallen before me! Now, send me your malice and hate! Send it to me!"
With that said, everyone from across the globe listened to Bebimon's plead and sent out their energy. They shared that same pure hatred and malice for the same human that Bebimon despises the most. This even included each and every one of Tai's allies infected by Bebimon's eggs.
On one side of Odaiba, Ken, Yolei, Sam, Hawkmon and Wormmon sent out their energy for Bebi-Metalla X.
The same can be said with Joe, Gomamon, Cody, Armadillomon, Henry, Terriermon, Rika, Renamon and many others. There weren't any more allies to come to Omega X's aid, except for a few individuals.
"Shit! This is not happening!"
"Dad!"
"Max! Get out of here now!"
Defying his father's orders, Max cries and flew out towards Bebimon. The Tufflesurian immediately responded by shooting out a barrier, which sent Max plummeting backwards. The boy goes crashing through a bulletin board and lands hard on the concrete.
"Max!" Omega X cried out with a mixed emotion of anger and sadness. "MAX!"
Bebi-Metalla X underwent another metamorphosis while gathering the negative energy over his head. His body suit became purely black with a white patch mark on his chest. Both of his shoulders had massive, yellow shoulder pads with red streaks at each side. His boots and gloves were as yellow as the shoulder pads. His spiked hair became even curvier with spiked tips at each end. Bebi-Metalla X held out his hands over his head while a massive, black sphere formed. This was the result of the worldwide negative energy being transmitted from each Tufflesurian-human.
"This one is especially for you, Taichi! This is for the sins of your human fathers! I shall avenge my face by destroying the strongest of the human race!"
"Bebimon! I wanted to give you a chance to redeem yourself, but you attacked my son! You took my family away. I'll never forgive you. You no longer pursue peace. Do you Bebimon? Answer me now!"
"Peace? Bah! That's mockery coming from a human! No, you have a debt to pay! Take this! Revenge Death Ball!"
With one loud cry, Bebi-Metalla X hurled the dark sphere down towards the fallen Omega X. The warrior could barely move a muscle from the abuse he had taken earlier on. His eyes started to fade with the sphere inching ever so closer.
"I won't give up! I will not give up! This is far from over, Bebimon!"
The sphere slammed into the ground and engulfed the area where Omega X once laid. A massive explosion took place and everything within the area was wiped out. The explosion cleared away and smoke covered the entire devastated landscape. Nothing was left but a large crater with fallen debris. There wasn't even a trace of Omega X. Max was found crawling through the rubble. Luckily, he had escaped the blast. He was fortunate not to be spotted by Bebimon yet.
"What an ordinary power!" War Angemon commented.
"So, brother? Do you think you can actually come back from that?" Celesta X muttered.
"Oh yes! I've finally destroyed the strongest human! Taichi has fallen! There is no more opposition to ever stand in my way!" Bebi-Metalla X exclaimed with triumph. "The Tufflesurians have finally reclaimed their top positions!"
"What? My dad?! No, he couldn't be gone…" Max said. "It can't be…"
The boy choked on tears underneath the pile of debris, which he was hiding in. He couldn't stand the fact that he has lost his own father to the maniac.
Elsewhere in Odaiba
MegaVeemon stopped in the middle of his flight and felt Omega X's ki vanish all at one sudden moment. He couldn't believe it. Now he would be among Bebi-Metalla X's primary targets.
"Whoa. All of a sudden, I felt Tai and then poof… He's gone. What the hell is going on? It's almost as if he vanished from this world. Damn! Am I too late?!"
Odaiba City District
Bebi-Metalla X looked down at the massive crater, which was the result of his Revenge Death ball. He smiled and faced his Tufflesurian slaves.
"Never. Never will the Tufflesurians be considered weak lambs. No, we are now efficient hunters. We shall spread throughout the real world and digital universe like a plague."
Now that Bebimon has achieved his full power, he has laid Tai to rest. Nearly all of earth has fallen under Bebimon's corrupt rule. There is no more opposition to stand up against the maniacal villain. With Tai gone, who will step up and challenge Bebimon?

Tai: Hey, everyone! It's me, Tai! You probably are wondering where I am? Well, I'm not exactly alive. On the other hand, I'm not exactly dead. I've been sent into this mysterious dimension in the digital world. Here, some warrior greets me by the name of BW.
BW: Hello again, Taichi. How has everything been?
Agumon: Do we know you?
BW: You just might know me as the artificial once designed to kill you. Does that ring a bell?
Tai: Don't tell me… Oh, shit…

Max: By following Bebimon there, we can take him!
Tai: Can you help me get back home, BW?

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
Taichi Dead, or Alive?! BW, the Mysterious Warrior, Asks a Favor!
With one loud cry, Bebi-Metalla X hurled the dark sphere down towards the fallen Omega X. The warrior could barely move a muscle from the abuse he had taken earlier on. His eyes started to fade with the sphere inching ever so closer.
"I won't give up! I will not give up! This is far from over, Bebimon!"
The sphere slammed into the ground and engulfed the area where Omega X once laid. A massive explosion took place and everything within the area was wiped out. The explosion cleared away and smoke covered the entire devastated landscape. Nothing was left but a large crater with fallen debris. There wasn't even a trace of Omega X. Max was found crawling through the rubble. Luckily, he had escaped the blast. He was fortunate not to be spotted by Bebimon yet.
"What an ordinary power!" War Angemon commented.
"So, brother? Do you think you can actually come back from that?" Celesta X muttered.
"Oh yes! I've finally destroyed the strongest human! Taichi has fallen! There is no more opposition to ever stand in my way!" Bebi-Metalla X exclaimed with triumph. "The Tufflesurians have finally reclaimed their top positions!"
"What? My dad?! No, he couldn't be gone…" Max said. "It can't be…"
The boy choked on tears underneath the pile of debris, which he was hiding in. He couldn't stand the fact that he has lost his own father to the maniac.
Bebi-Metalla X looked down at the massive crater, which was the result of his Revenge Death ball. He smiled and faced his Tufflesurian slaves.
"Never. Never will the Tufflesurians be considered weak lambs. No, we are now efficient hunters. We shall spread throughout the real world and digital universe like a plague."
There was nothing left of the heroic warrior. Bebimon has finally succeeded what no other evil force has accomplished. He has destroyed Omega X, a.k.a. Taichi Kamiya, and has killed off the once powerful digital warrior of courage. A proud grin forms across the Tufflesurian's chagrin. He yells out and lets his voice echo throughout the globe.
"Hear me out, my fellow Tufflesurians! The last of our opposition has finally been dealt with! Omega X has died at the hands of me, your savior! I am your only savior! Victory has come for us Tufflesurians!"
As soon as he said that, every Tufflesurian-humans cheered and chanted loudly for their "savior". They started to create celebrations, which simply put every New Year event to shame. Bebi-Metalla X was praised by his 'followers' and worshipped as a god.
"Yes! With the use of the black digicores, I shall restore my home planet, which that foolish human Cyrus helped destroy! We shall leave this trash heap of a planet and colonize the restored Planet Plant! I promise you paradise! I promise you freedom! We shall reign supreme with no opposition to stand in our way!"
The Tufflesurian-humans continued cheering and chanted the mutant's name in triumph. Bebi-Metalla X crossed his arms and smiled with great pride.
"Yes, that's right, Taichi. I don't even feel out your ki anymore. You're obviously dead. Rest easy in the after life, human! The same applies to you Agumon. Heh. Heh."
As soon as Bebi-Metalla X flew out across the horizon, every other digital warrior under his control followed him. The masses crowded out and stormed down the streets out from the devastated apartment complex. They cried out Bebimon's name and gathered more people to join their masses.
Meanwhile, a body was slowly coming through slight unconsciousness. The person pushed his way through the rubble and kicked away at heavy concrete. The boy slowly opened his eyes and saw nothing but a wake of destruction around the wrecked apartment complex. Max stood before what could have been the aftermath of a massive earthquake combined with a dozen tornadoes. But the boy knew what was the cause of this destruction.
"Damn, they did all of this?! My dad and Bebimon are beyond anything I've seen before. Dad… I can't believe he's gone…"
The boy flies up above the destruction and looked around his surroundings. He saw no signs of his father or the enemy. He couldn't even attempt to pick up their ki. Max did the only thing he can do at the moment: call out his own father's name.
"Father! Father! Can you hear me?! Father!"
Despite this, Max knew that his father would not respond to his pleas. He did not want to face the fact that his father has disappeared from existence. The boy feared for the worst, but remained confident to know that his father was a survivor of the destruction inflicted by the mutant.
"Oh! He could have been buried under this rubble for all I know! My dad was said to have lived through many near death experiences.
Just then, Max felt a presence and turned to see a streak of light heading towards his direction. He was curious to know whoever was flying into his direction. He immediately sighed a relief when he felt Pikkan's ki. The Alterian, with Jeri on his back, came into perfect view and stopped to look down upon the destruction.
"My god. Look at this destruction, Pikkan!" Jeri said with a gasp.
"I know. Bebimon is responsible for this. Yeah, I can't even feel out Omega X's energy force anymore."
Max lowers his head with his face contorting with shame and defeat. The concerned Pikkan flies over to the boy and faces him.
"Are you sure that your father is gone, Max?"
"I… I… I don't feel his presence anymore. There's no energy signal amongst this rubble. I fear for the worst. You can go ahead and check the devastation if you want to."
"I'll give it a try, Max. But let's not jump into any conclusions. Your father may not be dead after all. At least, I hope he's alive…"
The Alterian checked the entire premises and channeled through any available ki energy signals. Unfortunately, he failed to feel out Omega X's energy signal, not even a faint one. Pikkan looks over to Max with a slightly, saddened glare.
"See? Am I right? He's gone, isn't he?"
"Max. I don't know what to say."
"I'm sorry, Max," Jeri said.
Filled with bitter rage and angst, Max sighed and allowed tears to stroll down his innocent face. He clenches his fist and cries out with pure anguish.
"FATHER! You can't be dead!"
Jeri couldn't help but feel for the boy and lets out a few teardrops. The Alterian remained strong despite the saddening turn of events.
"Tai. I don't know where you are, but I know that you haven't passed on into the digital afterlife. You manage to pull yourself from out of these insane predicaments. Wherever you are, I hope you realize what Bebimon plans on doing to your own planet. Every human will be purified into his own herd of sheep. This entire planet will become the first to be occupied by the way of the Tufflesurians. I don't even stand a chance against his newly acquired perfect form. This requires your participation as well, Taichi. Get back as soon as you can, my friend."
Max was visibly upset and paid not heed attention to Pikkan. He was focused and wanted nothing more than to get his hands on the Tufflesurian dictator.
"Bebimon… I swear I'm going to make you pay for this! I will avenge my father's death! I swear on his grace that I will rip you to pieces! FATHER! I shall avenge you!"
Shinjuku. The Rooftop of Hypnos Headquarters
Bebi-Metalla X landed down on the top roof of the Hypnos Headquarters towers. He looked around with satisfaction as each of Tai's brainwashed friends bowed before him. War Angemon and Celesta X lowered their heads by showing their allegiance to the overlord. Tike walks over and hands him the bag containing the four black digicores.
"Here are the black digicores, which you have requested, Lord Bebimon," Tike spoke.
"Now we can put them to good use," replied Kara.
"Yes, excellent work, children. These will do nicely. Finally, the moment I've been waiting for has finally cultimated. My dear Tufflesurians, let us bask in this wonderful glory."
"Hail, Lord Bebimon!" the group chanted.
Bebi-Metalla X rips the bag open and allows the digicores to drop to the ground. The cores gathered together and started to emit a bright aura. The mutant sits back on a throne provided by Yamaki's Hypnos team.
"Now. Black Digital Cores! I summon forth your magical powers to grant my wish, which I desire!"
With that said, the four digital cores gave off a chain reaction and beams of light shot out from each sphere. The group looked on with astonishment as each beam shaped themselves into spotlight-like columns. Almost immediately, the skies were turning red and the clouds became black.
"Ah, yes. The power of the digicores are magnificent. Lady Moinanea really put effort into this," said Bebi-Metalla X.
"Either that or this is a really good case of special effects," Riley, of the Hypnos crew, replied.
"I can assure you. This is no special effect," the Tufflesurian stated. "Silence, everyone! The Great Tiger serpent shall appear!"
Within a few moments, a gigantic snake-like monster came flying out from the clouds. It lets out a thunderous roar, which echoed throughout the planet. The crowds were frightened by it's appearance and started to flee. Despite this, the serpent made it's way over towards the Hypnos twin buildings.
"Unbelievable!" Celesta X said with sheer astonishment. "The digicores we use are protected by Azulongmon, but these black digicores."
"Yes, Hikari. These were created by Lady Moinanea. Don't you remember?"
"I remember, but I'm…"
"Surprised? You should be. There are no sovereigns to represent the western sector of the digital universe. Baihumon declined to take position and allowed Lady Moinanea to take his place. In dedication to Baihumon, she created these digicores and gave the god the form of the tiger."
"Um, my lord… He's waiting for you to make your wish," said War Angemon.
"Oh? Well, I hope he accepts my gratitude. Oh great, tiger serpent, it's an honor to finally become graced by your presence."
The tiger serpent growled deeply to Bebi-Metalla X's choice of words and uttered his first words.
"I am the Great Tiger Serpent! You have summoned me from my long sleep. As a reward, I shall grant you one wish. Please, tell me. What is the wish thou desire?"
"Ah, yes. I'm deeply ecstatic by your gratitude. Now for my wish. I want Planet Plant, my old home planet, to be restored. I want it brought back the way it was before Cyrus and his mercenaries took it away from our grasp. Can you do that for me, Tiger Serpent god?"
"It shall be done."
With that said, the Tiger Serpent swirled through the heavens and sends an energy blast from his mouth. The blast reaches into the deep regions of earth's orbit and immediately materialized itself into a planet. It looked very similar to Earth, but it was a bit smaller in size and width. Planet Plant was visible across Earth's orbit. Nearly every human were astonished by the planet.
This brought a grin on Bebi-Metalla X's face. He laughed gleefully and raises his fists in triumph.
"Yes! Our home has been resurrected, my fellow Tufflesurians! I thank you, Tiger God."
"My work here is done. I shall depart from here. Farewell."
The Tiger Serpent fades away into a stream of light and fades away from sight. The dark clouds vanished along with red tint to the globe's skies.
"It has been done, my lord," Yamaki spoke. "But you will need a form of transportation to even reach the planet."
"Yes, you bring up a good point. I have no problem traveling through orbit as long as I maintain this body's form. That rule doesn't apply to the human bodies. Ok, then. Do you happen to contain a teleportation unit, which allows a large number of people to become transported from earth to Planet Plant?"
"I'm not so sure if we've developed such a unit," Talley said.
"No, we do," Yamaki said. "We've had the help of a young man named Izzy Izumi. Thanks to his brilliance, we've successfully created a transportation unit that creates portals."
"But sir. We haven't even tested it out, let alone use it," replied Riley.
"There's always a first for everything," the head of Hypnos stated. "Lord Bebimon, do you approve of such a tactic?"
"It's fine. That will do. Get it running as soon as you can."
"Yes, my lord."
Bebi-Metalla X flies out towards the center of Shinjuku while being greeted by the masses. The mutant spoke out and allowed his voice to break through the roaring crowds.
"Hear me, my fellow Tufflesurians! I have made an arrangement with the good people of Hypnos. A transportation unit will be available to teleport each and every one of you to Planet Plant. I will ask for a few hundred at a time, before it's necessary to populate my home planet. Have patience and hope my dear Tufflesurians."
"Hail, Bebimon! Hail, Bebimon!"
Amongst the roaring crowds were the other Tamers and the remaining Digi-Destined. Even Ryo and Cyberdramon were chanting for the Tufflesurian.
"Taichi. It's such a shame that you aren't here to witness your friends pledging their allegiance to me. I really would have enjoyed seeing that dumb look on your face. But, nonetheless, you have died and will never be a thorn to my side. Rest in peace, Taichi. Rest in peace."
Looking on from a far distance was MegaVeemon. He was shocked that the killer of Taichi was many yards away from him. Luckily, he was able to suppress his ki and takes off further into the horizon.
"So he's the guy who killed Tai?! Bebimon has taken over Matt's body! He's even brainwashed T.K. and Kari! Am I really the only person left to take him on? I've got to find Max or at least anyone not under Bebimon's control. I'll make that jackass pay for taking my wife away!"
Odaiba City District
Max was seen picking up several rocks and tossing each one into a puddle. He made no comment ever since the revelation that his father was killed. Not even Keke could try to comfort the boy.
"I feel so terrible for Max," said Keke. "Pikkan, what do you suggest we do?"
"For now, let's leave Max alone. He's been through enough. The trip really did stress him out. Plus you add that to the fact that a psychopath murdered his father, then you've got a boy undergoing depression."
"Wow, Pikkan. You ought to be a psychiatrist," Jeri said. "I think you'd be a great professional."
"Aw, hell no. I'll stick to what I do best."
"That being?" Calumon pondered.
"You ask stupid questions, tubby. It's a no-brainer."
Throughout the conversation, Keke had heard enough and walks over towards Max. The boy threw another rock into the pond. He heard tiny footsteps nearing him and faced Keke. The girl sighed heavily and kneeled down. She picks up a rock and tosses it into the puddle.
"Max, is it ok if I sit here next to you?"
"Sure."
"Listen, Max. Pikkan has been telling me that your dad may not be gone after all."
"You think so? Well, I saw Bebimon throw that death ball and my dad was clearly caught within it. It exploded on impact and his ki was gone. I couldn't even feel out a single trace of ki."
"That was because you were hurt and weren't able to concentrate enough."
"Bull! You know it, Keke! He's gone and isn't coming back! Bebimon has beaten my father and I must accept the fact that he's gone. It's up to me to finish off Bebimon on my own."
"You can't always do everything on your own, Max. You're not all powerful."
"Well, I should be, Keke! Just you wait and see."
Max stands up and points out into the heavens with eyes filled with burning rage.
"I will become the most powerful warrior after my father! I'll even become slightly better than he is."
"Slightly better?"
"Father! If you're still alive, then come back home! I need you!"
With one hard swing, Keke lands a slap across Max's right cheek. The force caused Max's head to turn away with a red gash on his cheek. Keke had a few tears coming down her eyes as she embraced Max tightly.
"Max! We can't do anything for your dad now. If we have any hope of destroying Bebimon, then we have to work together. Look, I'm hurt too. That freak has taken over my father's body. He's turned my mother to the side of evil. He's turned nearly everyone we love to his side. Bebimon is only one, but we are many."
Max tightened his fists and stood firm. He wiped away the tears from his eyes and hugs Keke.
"I'm sorry for worrying you like that, Kek. You're right. My dad would rather want us to work together and topple Bebimon as a team."
"That's right. Our dads worked together to beat many evil creeps in the past. Now it's our turn."
"Right. Pikkan! Everyone, listen up!"
"Well, it's about time he came out of it," Pikkan muttered.
"Oh, Pikkan. He just needed some time to himself," Jeri replied. "Give him a break. He's been through so much pain."
"Yesh, it's about time," Impmon said. "I didn't think I could stand seeing a human cry so much."
Avengemon snatches the tiny imp digimon and puts him on his shoulder.
"Yo! Make sure to tell me next time when you do that! Yapeesh?!"
"Sorry about that, but I needed someone to carry along since Dorothy isn't here."
"Where is that kid anyway?"
"I haven't heard from her. But Mummymon told me that she's with him. They were fortunate to find a hiding place and avoided contact with Bebimon's seeds."
"Good. As long as Ai and Mako are with them, I can concentrate on beating this Bebimon jerk."
"Everyone listen up! I'm putting Pikkan in charge for now until my father can find his way out of this loophole. I firmly believe that he is still alive. But we have to focus on ousting Bebimon."
"You leave me in charge of this operation?" Pikkan asked. "Well, if you say so."
"I don't think it would be right for a little kid to lead a group of experienced digimon."
"Good point taken. So, what do you expect me to do?"
"We'll go check Shinjuku. By the way, where the heck is Takato?"
"He left with Guilmon to check their hometown," Pikkan replied.
"Yeah and Takuya's group just went back into Shibuya," Jeri said. "They said that they would be back."
"So much for team unity," Impmon muttered. "What now, Mr. Leader? You want us to sit on our butts and meditate to make a decision?"
"Are you challenging me, you runt?!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"Maybe I am."
"Don't push me any further, Impmon. I'm already in a bad mood as it is."
"Kiss my ass," the tiny imp said while patting his butt directly to Pikkan.
The Alterian leaps out to grab Impmon, but was being pulled back by Max and Keke.
"Let me at him! I'll kill him! I'll kill that little turd!"
Suddenly, Avengemon looked up into the horizon to find War Growlmon making a landing on the surface. On his back was Takato.
"Hey, you guys! There's something you have to know!"
"What is it, Takato?! Did you find anything from our home?" Jeri asked.
"As a matter of fact, Bebimon had already used the digicores!" WarGrowlmon spoke. "He's already made a wish to restore his old planet."
"Plus, he and the Hypnos crew are using some teleportation unit to transport everyone under Bebimon's control to that very planet. Take a look up there right now."
Takato pointed out into the heavens and everyone gasped to find a planet larger than the moon. They didn't realize about its sudden appearance until now.
"Whoa, that is whacked out!" Max said. "I didn't even notice it!"
"He's going to be sending our families up there?" Keke asked.
"So, he has Hypnos under his control?" Leomon pondered. "If he's capable of doing that, then there's a chance he'll operate the Juggernaut unit."
"Oh no! That means we'll be at risk of being deleted!" said WarGrowlmon. "Takato! We have to stop him!"
"We can't get going until Takuya and the others show up."
"Hey, you weren't just going to leave us behind were you?!" a voice similar to Takuya's calls out.
"Yeah. We're not outcasts or anything like that," JP exclaimed.
The group turned around to see Takuya walking down with his friends.
"Did you find anyone else not infected by Bebimon's seeds from ya'lls hometown?" Max asked.
"No. Man, this sucks. Though, I did hear that a large group of people were moving to Shinjuku to greet Bebimon and be transported to another planet or something," Takuya said.
"That's exactly what he said," replied Kouji.
"We were wondering if you knew anything about it," Kouichi said.
"Oh we know. Thanks to Takato and the big guy, we know to go to Shinjuku," Max said.
"Oh, well thanks for covering everything for us then," JP said.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to kick some ass," Zoe said.
"Agreed. All right then, our next stop is Shinjuku. We'll stop by Hypnos and make sure not to get caught. I'm sure that they have a bounty for us," Pikkan explained. "We'll sneak into Hypnos and be transported under disguise."
"Disguises? What disguises?" Takato asked.
"Don't worry, guys! I have that covered!" Keke said with an evil grin.
"Shit, what could she be planning?" Pikkan thought.
"I'll help out, too," Jeri said.
"I think I'm going to take a pass on this," Takuya said.
"Not so fast, bucko," Zoe said. "There's a department store we can use. I've got the perfect disguise attire for you."
"Girls. They have the most sinister minds of any human being. Not even Bebimon can beat that," Max muttered. "Dad, where ever you are… I'm so glad you don't have to go through with this."
Unknown World
Elsewhere, that is not even remotely close to earth or the digital world, two bodies were laying on a barren landscape. One of the unconscious figures started moving about and stood up. It was Tai. He opened his eyes and viewed his surroundings. He cried out in shock and started shaking Agumon.
"Agumon! Wake up! You've got to see this! We're in the middle of nowhere! C'mon, sleepy head! Wake up!"
Agumon was simply down and out, but he slowly was waking up. He mumbled to himself under his breath.
"Wake up, lazy ass!"
"Uhh. I was just about to have a nice, cozy nap. What is it, Tai?"
"Looks like we're not in Japan anymore."
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, duh. Take a look for yourself."
Agumon let out a gasp and jumped up onto his feet. The reptile viewed the surroundings. They saw nothing but pitch darkness, until a beam of light came into view. It turned out to be a tunnel of some sorts.
"Agumon! Look up ahead!"
"That could be a way out of here. Our friends could use our help."
"You're right, but…"
"But what?"
"I wonder…"
"What's bothering you, Tai?"
"Are we really gone? Did we actually die?"
"There's only one way to find out."
"Hmm?"
With that said, Agumon pinched Tai by his left cheek. This caused the boy to cry out with pain and alarm. Tai retaliates by smacking Agumon across the face with a slap. This left a red whelp across the reptile's cheek.
"Next time, warn me before you do anything like that again, Agumon. Jeez, I didn't ask you to squeeze my cheek!"
"Sorry, but I had to be convinced that you could feel pain as a dead guy. But judging by my experiment, you're alive. Hey, at least, it's better than 'kicking the bucket.'"
"Now, let me do it to you."
"Uh, I think I'll pass on that one, Tai."
The duo walked towards the opening light and poked their heads out to see what was within the light beam. Their eyes widened as the brightness slightly blinded them temporarily.
"Ok, Tai. This is getting too strange for my taste," Agumon spoke. "These bright lights might be a stairway to heaven."
"But you even said that I'm not dead. We can't be dead. This is all but a mistake! Some power hungry bastard is overtaking our world. We can't accept this. We have got to get back home… somehow."
"After all that for nothing, there's no way I'm going to let us sit by and watch our planet get destroyed," Agumon said. "Don't forget the digital world is also in danger. Bebimon can easily access to it as long as he possesses Matt's body."
"Ah! I didn't realize that until now. All right. If there's anybody that can hear me, I want you to help us transport our spirits to the living world! I don't care if we're dead; we really need to go back. Everyone is counting on us to beat this new enemy! Hey! Can anyone hear me?!"
Even with all of the yelling, which came from the boy, there was not a single response. This started to infuriate the boy as he smashed his fists into a wall.
"Damn! There's nobody here. Max, I'm sorry. I really did not want it to end like this. We should have gotten out of there when we had the chance."
"Its no your fault, Tai."
"Yes, it is. I let everyone down. Max probably thinks that I wussed out."
"You didn't wuss out. We didn't expect Bebimon to be this powerful. He had us outclasses in every way possible."
"I didn't want to let Max down. If only we had prepared for that monster."
"Tai…"
"I let you down, too. Agumon, did I let you down?"
"Tai, stop talking like this! You're not a quitter. You're the bearer of courage. You've saved the two worlds on numerous occasions. Heck, we've saved the worlds together as one. Don't forget. We've been through hell and back. There's no getting off this train, Tai."
"Heh. Where have I heard that before?"
"Um, a video game. But that's not the point. The point is this. We've had our ups and downs, but we've learned to overcome them. You even said yourself that the best way to become stronger is to face even greater opposition. Bebimon is our latest adversary and he's much more powerful than the D-Reaper."
Tai looked down at the floor and a smile formed across his face. He turned to face Agumon and nodded.
"You're right, bud. We've definitely been through hell and back. Sure this Bebimon maybe our greatest adversary, but we're definitely not going down that easily. I shouldn't be letting myself down. I've been craving for a stronger adversary and I've finally gotten one. You're right, Agumon. We can do this together. We'll show that creep what we're really made of."
"Mmhmm."
"Just one small problem. How do the heck do we get out of here?"
"There is but only one way," a dark, but rather calm voice speaks out.
The voice caught both Tai and Agumon off guard. They searched their surroundings and found no other individual in presence. However, they felt an incredible force quickly made his presence felt. A young male human stood in front of them. He has spiky, brown hair. His clothing attire consisted a black muscle shirt, black pants and sporting brown boots. He also sported a pair of fingerless gloves. The young man smirked with content.
"Hello there, Taichi. Agumon. It's good to see you again."
"What do you mean again?" asked Tai. "We haven't even met before."
"Tell us, do you happen to know where we are currently?"
"I can tell you that you won't leave this place."
"What makes you say that?!"
"Calm down, Taichi. You will know in due time. We have yet to settle our score."
"Um, look. You must be drunk. I haven't met you and now you're already giving me threats."
Suddenly, Agumon was feeling a strange vibe from the mysterious human. He looked deeply into the young man and finally came to a realization.
"Tai! There's something you should know about this guy."
"Not now, Agumon. This nutcase is asking for it! Out of our way! We're leaving this rat hole and getting back to earth! There's a maniac out there enslaving the good people of earth! Don't you realize what will happen if you don't help me out of here?!"
"Yes, but in order to return to your home. You will have to defeat me in combat, Taichi. I did your sister a favor those many years ago."
"Ok, now you've gotten way too personal!"
"Thanks to me, she was able to awaken her full celestial powers. Remember? I was dismantled by Virus."
These words alone were enough to put cause Tai to instantly freeze in place. His eyes widened in utter shock and took Agumon's warning to heart. Tai looks back to the events of the War Games and the destruction of the dark mega himself.
"You… You can't be him…"
"That's right, Taichi. I am Black War Greymon, or was."
"I knew it. I felt a strange vibe from you, plus those clues were pretty easy for me to figure out," Agumon said.
"You're a fast one, Agumon."
"But, how? What? You died. How did you become human?"
"Well, as soon as your sister destroyed Virus, I was granted a second chance after displaying one final act of courage. I was due for punishment because of my alignment with Datamon's evil schemes. I was programmed to kill you, Taichi. The great Shintomon granted my spirit a human clone created from the DNA of a human. Thus, I was born a human. In return, I would have to guard this dimension between the real world and digital worlds."
"What is this place?"
"Call it something like a gateway. It's the dimension between the living and the dead."
"But I'm not dead, um, Black War…"
"Just call me BW, Taichi."
"Well, then, BW. You do realize that I am not a dead guy."
"You're right, but you soon will be."
"Is that a threat?"
"How much do you care for your family and friends?"
"A lot, what's it to you?"
"Do you care for Max? You're one and only son?"
"Yes! Now get to the point!"
"Very well, then. Taichi, you have committed to become a protector of humankind. You and your comrades have defeated countless opposition. You have prevailed every time, until now. Bebimon has proven to be quite a formidable enemy. Yes, his influence has spread all over earth and he's planning on moving the humans to his planet."
"His planet?"
"He used up the black digicores. They are useless now."
Tai slams his fists to the ground and clenched his teeth tightly. He had worked so hard to accomplish the task of collecting the four rare items. Now, his enemy has taken away that opportunity to put them to good use.
"I can't believe that punk used the digicores! That trip was wasted for nothing."
"Tai. Quit crying like a little punk."
"I'm not crying!"
"Then, get up from the ground. If you want to save your friends and return home, then you will have to defeat me in a one on one battle."
The boy gasped and faced BW. The older male stood with his arms crossed and awaited his long time adversary's reply.
"Well? That's a fair deal isn't it?"
"Tai. What should we do?"
"I…"
"Yes?"
"I accept. I'll do it to get back home and save everyone from Bebimon! For now, I just hope that they can hold that maniac off."
"Don't worry about it. I want to add another stipulation to our showdown. If I happen to be victorious, then you shall remain here forever."
"Damn, you're really stacking up the odds against me. I like you're style. I'm game. But, I don't think I'll even need to become Omega X to take you."
"Heh. That's some confidence you have there, Taichi. Do you really depend on Agumon himself to win your chance of freedom?"
"I sure do. I'm a gambling man."
"You would gamble with your own life? Taichi. Taichi. Your overconfidence will be your own undoing."
"We'll just see who comes out on top with a big, fat grin. Agumon, are you up for it?"
"I'm not sure. After we separated from our fused form, I think I lost most of my power. I can only manage to war digivolve."
"That's fine. You've gotten stronger since the War Games. I'm sure you can take him."
"I'll give it my all, Tai. Don't you worry! I'll make damn sure to set us free and return home to our friends!"
"There is no other way. This is a must win situation. Max needs me and I can't let him down! Max! Hear us out! We're coming back!"
"In your dreams," BW taunted the boy. "You'll only see Max in your dreams."
"Shut up. I don't want to hear that stupid voice of yours. Take him down, Agumon!"
Agumon takes a battle stance and leaps out with a bask of light enveloping his tiny body. Tai's digivice reacted to the reptile digimon's evolution and granted him that power. Once Tai's chest emitted a glow from the courage symbol, Agumon took center stage and immediately grew into a humanoid warrior with infamous clawed gauntlets and effective body armor.
(Play Digimon 02 theme "Beat Hit!")
"Agumon warp shinka! War Greymon!"
War Greymon stepped out from the cloud of smoke and faces off with BW. Tai looks on with great anticipation while praying for his partner's essential victory.
"Please, win this buddy. Do it for Max, Sora, myself and everyone begging to be freed from this nightmare! Bebimon will get what's coming to him. But this will ensure that we get that opportunity."
The warriors quickly phased out from sight and reappeared above the boy. BW threw out numerous effective kicks, which War Greymon was able to dodge. The mega threw out his gauntlet arms and blocked out each kick. BW sees an opening and takes advantage of War Greymon's injuries. He throws out a side chop to War Greymon's right side and delivers a kick to the mega's face.
"Damn! He's a lot quicker in that human form! He sure wasn't kidding about his fighting skills! But he doesn't know that War Greymon has a few tiny tricks up his…"
But just as he was about to finish his sentence, War Greymon plummeted through the ground. Tai runs over to find his partner clutching his side ribs.
"War Greymon! Are you all right? Aw, crap! You're ribs! Don't tell me…"
"Don't worry, Tai. I'll manage this. Just believe in me and we'll overcome this challenge. I can guarantee you that."
"Hey, are we going to sit there and come up with some crappy, heroic speech? I'm here to kick some ass! Now get up and let's continue."
War Greymon seethed angrily and lifted himself up from the crater. Then, he flies up and goes for a claw slash. BW phases away and reappears above War Greymon. The mega reacted to this and spun himself into a devastating tornado force.
"Great Tornado!"
The mega nails a direct blow to BW with the technique and sends him reeling back. BW stops and grasped his chest tightly. Fortunately, the blow didn't cause serious injury to BW. He sighs a relief and chuckles.
"Not bad, War Greymon! You've even surprised me! But it's going to take more than just that to put me down!"
"Damn, this BW is tough. C'mon, War Greymon. You have to win our freedom from this place. I don't think I can stand it anymore."
The two warriors flew out towards each other and nail each other with fists. Their fists connected with each other's face and caused them to fly back from one another. War Greymon leaps out at BW and delivers a head butt to him. BW phases out and reappears behind War Greymon. He applied full nelson maneuver behind War Greymon and grasped tightly.
"Do I surprise you with my speed? You shouldn't be. I've gotten faster and stronger in this human form. Now, it's time to take another fall."
BW spins around and dives down towards the ground below. He releases his grip over War Greymon and drops him towards the barren landscape. However, War Greymon stopped his fall and phases out. This caught BW and forced him to check his surroundings. He immediately turns around and watches as War Greymon hurls a large orange sphere at him.
"TERRA FORCE!"
BW puts out his hands in front of him and catches the sphere. The warrior lets out a battle cry and sends the sphere sailing across the upper atmosphere of the dimension. An explosion occurs and emits a bright light that eclipses nearly the entire battleground.
"Looks like I'll have to kick things up a notch if I hope to defeat you, BW."
"Likewise, I'm impressed, War Greymon. You've gotten stronger since the War Games."
"I've trained and raised my power towards new horizons. Remember, I'm only fighting to get Tai and myself home."
"And I'm betting on a victory for myself. I need to defeat you, War Greymon. I no longer have interest in killing Taichi. That's all in the past."
"Understood. Now shall we continue?"
"That's a stupid question. What do you think?"
(End theme)
Tai watched the face off between the warriors and couldn't get Max off of his mind. He couldn't resist being separated from his family and allowing Bebimon to continue his wicked ways.
"Hang in there, you guys. I'm coming back after I find a way out of this rat hole! Count on it!"
Shinjuku. Hypnos Headquarters.
There was a large mass of people walking down to the twin buildings where Bebimon and his crew were currently working on the teleportation unit. MegaVeemon hid behind an alleyway and watched the brainwashed citizens march down.
"What's he planning? Damn, if only I could get closer without getting caught. I don't want to end up hurting these people."
Suddenly, the fused warrior looked up to find Bebi-Metalla X flying over the horizon.
"There's that no good bastard! Wait, till I get my hands on that creep!"
The mutant lands on the roof to Hypnos and was greeted by Mimi Tachikawa. The woman bowed before him with Palmon offering him a basket of fruit.
"Lord Bebimon. The preparations have been complete. The teleportation unit has been set."
"Excellent. Open the doors to this facility. It's time to move the herds to our new home planet. Isn't it marvelous my dear?" Bebi-Metalla X said.
"Yes, it's beautiful. It makes my Tufflesurian spine tingle."
"I'm glad. Inform Yamaki that I am on my way to see him."
"Understood."
"It's only a matter of time, my Tufflesurian people. The dawning of a new age has come upon us!"
As soon as he said that, the mutant lets out a tyrannical laugh that echoes throughout the city.
With Bebimon's operation at full swing, our heroes must hurry and reach Shinjuku. Can they find suitable disguises to allow them through the portal to Planet Plant? Will Tai and Agumon escape their ordeal with BW in the next dimension? What will MegaVeemon do to stop Bebimon and can he stand up to the Tufflesurian's sheer power?

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
The Strike on Planet Plant! Gosenzomon's Fantastic but Weird Training?!
The tyrannical Tufflesurian, Bebimon, has recently overtaken the Earth. Nearly every human and digimon allies were brainwashed by the spread of dark seeds. This resulted each infected individual to become influenced by Bebimon's complete control. However, the same cannot be said for a band of heroes who have grouped together to stop this evil threat. Conspicuous by their absences, Tai and Agumon have been taken out from the battle. It was now up to Max, Keke, Pikkan, Beelzebumon, Takato, Guilmon, Avengemon, Takuya, and the other legendary warriors to step up to deal with Bebimon.
Up until now, Bebimon had used the black digital cores to grant his first wish. That wish was to restore his home planet once occupied by his Tufflesurian people. Planet Plant was restored near Earth's orbit. Using a teleportation unit created by Izzy and the Hypnos crew, the Tufflesurian-humans were immediately being transported to the new planet. The tyrannical mutant was reliving his ultimate dream. Thus far, no one has been able to stand up to him nor have anyone challenged his power.
And so the conflict continues…
Eastern Shinjuku District.
The mass horde of Tufflesurian-human citizens started lining up in order while being led into Hypnos, in order to be transported to Planet Plant. The Hypnos team was in charge of rounding up every person and organizing them into groups of hundreds.
As this took place, Max led his team through under their disguises. The boy himself was wearing baggy pants, a long sleeve shirt with a hood and tennis shoes. Keke's outfit consisted of a pink skirt, a white top and brown boots.
"These disguises should blend us in with crowd. They don't even notice or recognize us," Keke whispered.
"Let's not attract their attention. We have to remain in low profile," Max replied. "If we want this to work, then we have to stay cool and go with the flow."
"I don't see why I was forced to wear this crap," Pikkan barked angrily.
"What are you talking about, Pikkan? You're disguise is so cute," Jeri remarked.
The Alterian's fashion attire consisted of a yellow t-shirt, blue jeans and a blue hat. The shirt had a logo reading Bad Man. Jeri giggled to her boyfriend and patted him on the back.
"It'll be all right, Pikkan."
"Speak for yourself, Miss. 'Jeri Gainsbourough'. Did you really have to wear that Aeris Halloween outfit?"
"Well, it's working out well for a disguise. Besides, I loved this outfit."
""Um, guys. Does this hat make my head look too fat?" Takato asked while fixing his 'Cat in the Hat' top. "I think this fashion is out of style."
"I get to be a doggy," Guilmon said with a bark.
The digimon used dog and cat outfits. They even acted out their parts to being normal, domestic pets. Leomon was dressed up as a large Saint Bernard. The proud warrior put his pride aside to accept this disguise, even though he vowed to never be caught dead wearing it again.
"Ugh, I just had to wear a dog suit," Impmon muttered. "Dogs stink…"
"You think you guys had it bad?" Takuya blurted out. "Look at me! I look like a freaking gang member!"
The goggle head's attire consisted of a bandana, a light blue F.U.B.U. shirt, a pair of blue jeans, tennis shoes and a necklace. He also wore shades and a pair of brass knuckles on both fists.
"Aw, cheer up. These disguises are working to our advantage. Besides, doesn't this dress make me elegant?" Zoe asked her peers.
The blonde stood radiant with low cut red dress reaching above her knees while revealing her long legs and a pair of white high heel shoes. She has her hair up in a bun with a chopstick through it. Nearly all of the guys drooled over the sight of Zoe's sexy figure.
"Wow, she really has a good sense of fashion," Keke said. "She can fix my dresses anytime!"
JP looks on with a widened mouth and blushing cheeks. Zoe took notice of this and put her hand in front of his face.
"Not today, bucko."
"Ah, I wasn't thinking like that. Honestly."
"C'mon, guys! Let's not start a commotion. Otherwise, our cover is blown until then," Max stated. "Once Avengemon gives us a clear signal, then we'll make our move towards the building where these people are being transported. He should give us the signal any minute now."
As soon as Max said that, Avengemon popped out from out of a rooftop and waves out to his team. Max nods to his team and moves out through the crowd. They followed the boy along and carefully blended in with the mass crowds. Their disguises were working with perfection.
"So far so good," Tommy said. "How far is it to that building?"
"We're almost there," replied Takato. "We'll probably be among the next group to be deployed through that transporter."
"I hope so. Some of these pervs can't keep their eyes off of me," Zoe muttered.
"Hey! Check out that fine ass kick!" a familiar, arrogant voice calls out.
"Oh shit! Our cover's been blown!" Takuya exclaimed.
"Shh! I don't think so," replied Pikkan. "Oh shit. It's Kazu…"
"What's he doing?" Jeri asked.
Looking behind their backs, the group turned their heads to find Kazu walking up to Zoe and rubbing her butt. This made Takuya's blood boil as he went to knock the Tufflesurian-possessed boy with a right hook.
"That dude is so dead! I'll make Mike Tyson look like a wuss after get my hands on him!"
"You got such a fine ass there, babe," Kazu said with a chuckle. "Wanna go with me?"
"Yuck! I wouldn't be caught dead with you!" Zoe exclaimed.
With that said, Kazu listed up Zoe's short skirt and revealed her panties. The girl retaliates and delivers a right hook towards Kazu's face. Her fist connects and sends Kazu flying back through a trashcan. Guardromon goes running up to his partner's side.
"Never put your hands on a lady, you sicko!" Zoe screeched. "Asshole!"
"Oh, Kazu. What will Bebimon do if he saw you touching girls like that? This is why you'll never get a girlfriend," the robot spoke.
"Oh yeah! What a way to show some girl power!" Keke cheered. "Zoe should become a boxer!"
"Heh, I wish. Maybe I can knock every guy in the world."
"In your dreams," Takuya teased.
"I heard that, Takuya."
"You guys! Can we get serious for a minute?!" Kouji asked. "We have an important task to accomplish."
"No sweat, bro. We're already getting closer to the building," said Kouichi. "Avengemon will meet us there under his disguise."
"Yeah. There's no need to worry, Kouji. I have this under control. Besides, Zoe has ever right to vent out her frustrations. I can't wait to vent my own frustrations out on Bebimon."
The group looks ahead and spotted Avengemon stepping through the front doors to the metropolitan building. They followed ahead while pushing their way to reach their destination. Takato immediately passed by a familar red-haired girl and gasped. He saw Rika with her family.
"It's Rika! I'm surprised Renamon didn't notice us under disguise. Then again, our digimon were already told to suppress their ki signals. Oh, Rika… I can't believe that creep got to you, too."
"Takatomon, let's keep going. What is it?"
"Nothing, Guilmon. You're right. Let's go. We don't have any time left to waste."
Takato and Guilmon rejoined the team as they made their way through the front doors of the familar Hypnos building. Takato looked around and was vaguely familiar with it.
"Man, who runs this place? You've got to be a billionaire to own this!" JP commented.
"Look! It's the Hypnos team!" Leomon said.
"Oh my, you're right," Jeri replied. "It's Mr. Yamaki, Riley, Talley and Izzy! Hey, what's that portal behind them?"
"You guys. We hit the jackpot," stated Max. "As soon as Avengemon meets us, then we'll be grouped with that line in front of us. Hopefully, they can take us all at once."
"Some plan. For your sake, it better work," Pikkan muttered. "Failure is not an option if we hope to stop Bebimon."
"This plan won't fail. I can promise you that. I won't let my father down," the boy spoke with a mix of courage and determination. "I can't fail you father. I just can't. Wherever you are, I'll be waiting and we'll crush Bebimon forever."
Dimensional World B/T Real and Digital Worlds
The struggle between BW and War Greymon ensued as the warriors battled each other with tooth and nail. War Greymon used numerous of his Terra Force techniques, but only to have BW deflect each shot. BW has proven to be quite a forminable opponent in his new human form. Tai was astonished by BW's combined tenacity and cunning.
"Wow, you've really outdone yourself, BW. You weren't kidding when you said that you were preparing for this moment."
"Thanks, Taichi. But, you have yet to realize the real depths to my tenacity. I developed many new techniques during my stay down here. I've been saving most of them, especially for you, War Greymon."
"New techniques?"
"Allow me to demonstrate one technique that I've learned while watching your recent battles. Observe, War Greymon. You'll be in for quite a surprise."
"Brace yourself, War Greymon! Don't let down your guard!"
However, War Greymon maintained his focus on his opponent and starts gathering a small amount of ki. BW saw this through and stretches out his arms. Then, he waved his right hand in front of him and moved it with a circular motion. One by one, seven crystallized energy spheres materialized. Each one contained a massive amount of ki energy and one shot from one would deal plenty of damage.
"Seven Prism Strike!"
"Oh crap!" the mega exclaimed.
As the spheres came hurtling towards War Greymon, the mega quickly puts out his Brave Shield. However, BW waved his hands towards a left direction and caused the spheres to make an immediate u-turn. The spheres came flying out from another direction and make contact with an unshielded War Greymon.
"Dodge 'em!" Tai cries out.
"No, there's no chance that he's going to dodge my shots," said BW. "He didn't even expect me to pull off such a technique. Now watch your partner take some damage. Victory will be mine."
The spheres made contact and slammed into different sections of War Greymon's form. Plenty of the explosive spheres were enough to put damage to War Greymon's armored chest. His Brave Shield was easily disposed of, which left the mega without a weapon of defense.
"You're without that crappy shield," BW taunted the mega. "I'll attack you with a head on assault."
"I won't need my shield to protect myself from your offense."
Tai clenched his fists tightly and hoped for a comeback on War Greymon's part. Thus far, he hasn't been successful against the resurrected Black War Greymon.
"Oh and by the way, don't think I'm finished with you," BW spoke. "I still have more techniques under my belt. Yes, War Greymon. If I were you, then I would beg for my life."
"Oh really? Bring it on, BW. I can take it."
"Are you sure? You'll regret those words."
"Try me."
"Very well. Think fast!"
As soon as BW vanished, War Greymon looks around his surroundings and tried to home in on BW's energy signal. War Greymon turns around to find a barrage of energy shots. The mega builds up an aura and flies off into the distance. He soon realized that the blasts were homing towards him. Every direction he takes will result in the blasts following him out at very direction. BW was seen moving his arms in different directions and kept an eagle's eye on his prey.
"These are homing shots I've learned to use to my disposal. They will follow you everywhere you go. There's no chance for you."
"Crap. At this point, War Greymon is going to get blasted down. There's not even a hiding spot for him to recuperate," Tai muttered. "War Greymon! Take cover to a hiding spot!"
"If I can find one!"
BW waves his hands towards the right direction and sends him following War Greymon. The mega digimon looks up towards the upper regions of the dimension and soars up. The shots follow out War Greymon directly.
"You can't escape this, War Greymon! These shots will follow your every move!"
"Don't be so sure of yourself, BW. You're attack plan is going to backfire right in your face."
"What's War Greymon planning? It looks like he's simply drawing them away. That's it! He's going to simply scatter around the dimension with the blasts following him. Then, he's going straight for BW. Then, he'll simply maneuver away at the last second and those shots will be directly sent back to BW! What an awesome plan, buddy!"
War Greymon looks down to find BW waving his arms around in circular motions. The mega chuckled and came soaring towards the digital human with incredible speed. BW smirked and put his hands out in front of him.
"Ah! I see your little game plan, War Greymon! You're going to direct those shots right back at me! I'm not stupid enough to be put down by my own techniques! Those shots will home in on you no matter what. I've mastered this technique to its full perfection."
"What now?! He'll simply send them right back at me! Tai! A little help here?"
"Hey, I'm not the technical genius here!"
"True, but you come up with the best battle strategies. We've gotten out of many loopholes before."
"Until Bebimon that is…"
"We did not expect Bebimon to take Matt's body. We were thrown off our usual game. Now, we have to regain our momentum. If we hope to save our friends, then we must defeat Black War Greymon!"
"You're right! Here I was beating myself up for nothing! I usually don't let conflicts affect my judgment! This has been a challenging twenty four hours! Probably the most challenging in my entire life…"
"Don't worry, Tai. I'll find us out of this. I promise you!"
"Promises are for the delusional," BW said. "War Greymon! You don't have a chance to dodge my attacks!"
"Just you wait and see! There! I'll burrow myself underground!"
"Go ahead and try! That still won't save your ass!"
BW directed his attacks aimed for War Greymon once again and sends them showering down upon War Greymon. The mega quickly thought of an idea dn spun himself down through the ground. Immediately, he burrowed underground and allowed the blasts to freely penetrate through the burrowed hole. As a result of this, a massive explosion erupted from the hole.
"Oh no! War Greymon! War Greymon!"
"Another one bites the dust," BW to himself. "Well, Taichi. I hope you realize the faults of your own partner. He's a failure just like you. You let your friends and family down. Now all you can do is sit back and let Bebimon convert the entire digital race become Tufflesurians."
Tai fell to his knees with a blank stare. The digital human levitated down and turned away from the boy.
"You're a sad case, Tai. I expected better of you. Now you have to remain here without the company of your own partner."
Tai looks down towards the ground a felt the earth trembling. Soon after, BW felt the vibrations occurring and leaps away.
"Heh. I wouldn't be too sure of that, BW. We're not finished yet."
"What?! Don't tell me…"
"TERRA-"
"OH CRAP!"
"BEAM!"
An enormous column of energy shoots out from out of the ground and BW is caught within the blast. The warrior screams out as the blast sends him hurtling into the upper atmosphere of the dimension. War Greymon flies out from the hole and pushes his arms forward. He directs his attack back towards the ground.
"You have him now, War Greymon! He's out of there!"
Much to Tai's chagrin, BW was pushing the Terra Beam blast back. The warrior increases his power and thrusts the blast towards the upper regions of the dimension. War Greymon looks on with utter shock as BW lands with desperation. BW charges out towards War Greymon with aura-coated fists. The mega removed the armored gauntlets and drops them into the ground.
"Screw the fireworks! We're doing this the old fashioned way! It's all out ass kicking!"
With that said, BW leaps out at War Greymon and throws rapid fists. The mega took each punch and retaliated with his own array of fists.
"Yes! Now we're getting somewhere! Kick his ass, War Greymon!"
BW delivers a spinning back kick, which was countered by a block from War Greymon's left arm. The kick's impact causes the ground to erode. War Greymon flies out at BW and hammers him away with fists filled with enormous power. Each hit made their impact and was beginning to slow BW down.
"Not bad, War Greymon… I'm glad you were able to draw out with the best of your ability."
"Wow, he's actually bringing the fight to BW! This actually proves that we really don't need Omega X every time," Tai thought.
War Greymon saw an opening to BW and delivers a right elbow into his stomach. The digital human spat out blood from the sheer impact. He then retaliates with a fist into War Greymon's chest. The warriors jumped away from one another and faced each other off.
"He's stronger than I previously predicted," BW muttered.
"His human form actually allows him to create newer techniques than in his artificial digimon form," War Greymon said. "Not bad, BW. You haven't been sitting on your ass for years in this place."
"I take that as a compliment."
"You're welcome."
The two warriors once again vanished from sight. Tai looks up to see War Greymon and BW hammering away with an array of fists. Each fist connected with their targets. BW head butts War Greymon, which sent the mega plummeting down. BW targets the falling warrior and dives towards him.
"You're mine, War Greymon! It ends here! Farewell!"
With that said, BW raises his arms over his head and creates a massive dark sphere. He lets out a battle cry and hurls the energy sphere towards War Greymon.
"TERRA DESTROYER!"
"Oh crap! War Greymon! He's going for the finishing blow! Dodge away!"
"That's it. You've just let yourself wide open, BW. Big mistake on your part."
Immediately phasing out, the mega reappears at BW's left side. BW turns around with a shocked glare. War Greymon cups his hands together and unleashes his Terra Beam technique. The energy blast engulfs BW completely and sends him plummeting into the ground below. Tai jumps up in victory, al through true victory hasn't presented itself to War Greymon.
"Yes! You did it! Now we can get out of here!"
"I'm not too sure if we should even celebrate yet, Tai."
"C'mon, buddy. You dealt him the finishing blow. We're free!"
"C'mon, Tai. You should know by now that enemies don't go down that easily. I barely even mustered enough energy to deliver that blow. That was sheer luck on my part."
"You mean he could have beaten you? I don't believe that for a minute."
"Unfortunately, it's true, Tai."
"No…" that same dark voice spoke from the smoke.
"No way in hell," Tai muttered. "Why don't you just stay down?!"
Much to Tai's disappointment, BW slowly walks through the smoke fog with cuts and bruises over his body. He held his right arm tightly and covered a deep cut, which oozed blood. The warrior lowers his head and bows.
"Victory is yours, Taichi. You and your partner have beaten me legitimately. I've greatly underestimated you."
"I don't agree at all," War Greymon replied.
"What's that?"
"You could have beaten me with those techniques. If we had merged and fought as Omega X, well then it would have been an even fight. You had me clearly outclassed as War Greymon."
"So, what are you trying to say?"
"I won clearly by sheer luck. You put up a great challenge and I thank you for it."
The digital human was a bit taken by War Greymon's words and smiled.
"Hmph. Next time, you fight me as Omega X. Then we shall really determine who the better warrior is."
"You're on."
"Ok, all of this mushy stuff is making my head hurt," Tai said. "No offense, but you have to live up to your promise. War Greymon hands you your ass and you will set us free out of here."
"I'm afraid I don't have the power to do so…"
As soon as he said that, Tai collapsed onto his back with a sweat drop coming down his forehead. He immediately sat up and got into BW's face.
"What the hell?! So I'm supposed to sit here on my ass and let that freak brainwash more innocent minds?! My son is out there as we speak. Bebimon will eventually find him and I won't forgive him for what he plans on doing to my son!"
"I'm sorry, but it's not my decision to set you free."
"That's it, pal! I'm breaking us out of here!"
"Calm yourself, Taichi," a voice spoke out.
Tai stood his ground and looked about his surroundings. BW and War Greymon encircled Tai in defensive stances. Walking out from the shadows was an elf-like figure and a panda wearing a Japanese battle attire.
"Hey! It's you, guys!" Tai exclaimed. "Shintomon! Buddamon!"
"It's been a while, Taichi," Buddamon, the panda, said.
"Please, forgive us for putting you in this sudden situation," Shintomon replied. "I was the one who brought you here. You've passed the test."
"A test? What test? You mean this was all a set up? Did you know anything about this, BW?"
"Yes."
"Shintomon! Don't you realize the situation that's taking place on Earth?"
"I'm full aware of it. I wasn't aware until X informed me of Bebimon's influence on the planet."
"So now you know?"
"I should have realized that sending you on the trip to the western sector was a mistake. I did not know about the dangers that lurked from within the M-5 Machine empire."
"First of all, answer me this. What purpose did this serve? What was the point of this test?"
"That's a simple question for me to answer, Taichi. I needed to be convinced that War Greymon was capable of battling without the use of Omega X. He managed to pass with flying colors. Also, I've realized that he can not simply draw out anymore of his dormant power by converting to Omega X form most of the time."
"Dormant powers?" War Greymon wondered.
"From what Gosenzomon told me, he said that Omega X level three was simply not enough to defeat this new enemy. He has made a recent discovery. War Greymon was meant to be a top class warrior if he had remained with the Digital Knight army. He would have replaced a warrior named Taito."
"Go on."
"Unfortunately, the planet they were hired to protect was destroyed by Burizalor. Agumon's egg was sent to the eastern sector. Gennai took full responsibility by hiding the egg to File Island along with the six others."
"Of course, I remember that part. So Agumon was supposed to be the next in line after this Taito?"
"Yes, Taito was a digital human with extraordinary powers, but his human form couldn't allow him to increase his strength. It would have killed him."
"Then explain BW's case. He's a digital human as you can see," War Greymon said.
"He was once a digimon," Buddamon explained. "Therefore, very little of his soul was transferred into a human shell. We only needed a tiny portion of his soul. Otherwise, if we had transferred it all, then his human body would have been destroyed. Hence, this human form of his is a shell and not a real human body. Even though, he feels, bleeds and thinks like a human."
"I guess what they say is true. 'A human body can only take so much'," replied War Greymon.
"Taito's body couldn't contain all of that power. So the Digital Knights helped to capture eight special digi eggs from one of Burizalor's top secret facilities," Shintomon stated.
"I was built to fight for the likes of that heartless monster?!"
"You can thank the gods that I came along buddy," Tai said.
"You should thank Gennai. He stole away the digi eggs and brought them to the Digital Knights. War Greymon, you do remember when Neo Devimon explained the part about your tail?"
"As a matter of fact, I do, Shintomon."
"That extra tail would have boosted your power greatly. But now Gosenzomon has found a way to restore your tail through the means of training. Once we have restored your second tail, then you should exploit new powers that you couldn't even comprehend."
"Awesome! Wow! What are these new, shabby powers?!" Tai said with excitement.
"I presume a new digital level, but that's only theory. Come. Let us not waste any time. BW. I thank you. In return, I'll have Buddamon use his healing magic to help treat those wounds."
"Thanks. Man, did I get an ass kicking?"
"Wow, new powers! This is going to be great. Hopefully, we can get this over with. I'm not too sure how urgent the situation is going to turn out on earth."
Everyone, including Shintomon, gathers around Buddamon. The panda uses an incantation and immediately teleports them out from the dimension. Their next stop was the realm of Shintomon's holy resort.
Earth. Shinjuku. Hypnos Headquarters
Meanwhile, Max and his allies were waiting for the arrival of Avengemon. Then, to their satisfaction, Avengemon arrives with a large trench coat covering his gigantic body.
"Hey! Avengemon! We're over here!" Max calls out.
"Wow, that's some disguise you have there," Keke replied.
"I wish I could have thought of that," Pikkan muttered.
"Nah, you look cute in your outfit, Pikkan," Jeri giggled.
"Cute?!"
"Ok, guys. We're just about ready to go. They're going to be arranging us into a group," Takato said.
"Remember to stay cool, guys," Takuya ordered the other children.
"Oh look at you giving orders, Jay Tee," Zoe teased the boy.
"Jay Tee?! Any relation to Jay-Z?" Takuya asked with a chuckle.
"Will you guys cut it out with the jokes? They'll catch us if we don't cause a scene," Kouji snapped.
"Aw, take it easy," Takuya replied. "We'll do fine."
"Here comes one of them now," Max said. "Remember to not lose your cool."
Riley came walking by towards Max's group with a look of suspicion. Fortunately, she couldn't recognize them and drops her right hand down.
"You maybe permitted to pass through the portal. Bebimon will be pleased to greet you," Riley spoke. "Talley! Izzy! Open the portal."
"Understood," Izzy replied.
The genius nods over to Tentomon, who pulls on a level. This resulted into a portal doorway to open up at the center of the front hallways. Max was the first to step on over through the portal. Next, Keke knew that her family was on the other side. She went in through and was followed along by everyone else. As soon as everyone in the group passed through, Riley nods to Talley and Izzy.
"Tentomon. I'll leave this to you," Izzy said. "We'll be back."
"Aye-aye!"
The Hypnos team passes by the insect and passed through the portal doorway. Tentomon pulls the lever into reverse and closes the portal up.
"Ok, people! Get into line! Everyone will get their chance to pass through. We just have some minor technical difficulties."
However, this did not suite well for the crowds. They charged out after Tentomon due to their short-tempered impatientence. The insect flees away in desperation.
"Izzy. Think twice before you leave me in charge of your projects!"
Planet Plant.
The portal doorway opens up once again. Max and his group find themselves on in a large city of ruins. They listened for crowds and found a large gathering outside of the city. The skies were purely pink as it if were late in the afternoon. The environment was very similar to Earth, including oxygen to breathe.
"Wow, so this is Planet Plant?" Takato asked. "Maybe we got sent to another part of our world."
"No, this is clearly Planet Plant," said Leomon.
"Luckily we can breathe," Max stated. "Ok, you know why we came here."
"I never thought we could even invent a portal opener," Tommy said.
"Comes to show you how far our technology has advanced," Kouichi said.
"I wish I had one of those. I could go anywhere in the galaxy. Hey, it beats having to go to school," JP said.
"The skies are really beautiful," Zoe spoke.
"I agree," Jeri replied. "Don't you think, Pikkan?"
"Huh?! Um, sure. It's nice."
"Guys. There's no time for any idle talk. We have to find our friends and families. I'm sure they'll be in that crowd. No telling when Bebimon will show up," Max spoke.
Suddenly, the boy spoke too soon. The crowds roared in celebration as a craft carrier flew by with Bebi-Metalla X and Mimi as passengers. The Tufflesurian mutant waves out to his 'converted' followers.
"LORD BEBIMON! LORD BEBIMON!"
"Isn't it lovely, my dear? Just listening to our loyal followers brings music to my ears."
"Yes, Bebimon. I could simply embrace them. And another thing that pleases is the fact that incompotent boy hasn't even attempted to stop us."
"Oh, I'm sure he will come. I'll be ready for him and everyone of his pitiful friends."
"You have no equal, Lord Bebimon. You don't have a damn thing to worry about."
"Thank you, Mimi. Now, driver. Set a course for the Tufflesurian lookout tower just head."
"Yes, sire."
The driver sets the hovercraft unit into the city and manages to make a safe landing on top of a tall tower structure. It stood above every other building structure within the city. Yamaki walked out from the roof's doorway and greets the mutant.
"Lord Bebimon. We've had some minor technical difficulties with the transportation unit. We'll be sure to have it repaired."
"Feh, that dork Tentomon must have screwed it up again," Mimi muttered.
"Patience my dear," replied Bebimon. "I assure you that the problem will be fixed."
Just then, Izzy came running through the doorway with Talley and Riley following him. The boy genius reaches to Bebi-Metalla X to warn him about another conflict at hand.
"Lord Bebimon. It seems as thought Taichi's son and his friends had passed through the portal to this planet. Riley did not know whether you wanted to deal with them. So she let them through."
"What?! No, that's fine. I'm glad they've managed to find their way here. That just makes my job a lot easier. Dispatch War Angemon and Celesta X, Talley. Inform them. As for me, I have a crowd to greet. I'll simply sense out that boy's ki."
"In the meantime, I'm going to change into something more revealing," Mimi said. "I'll be meet you back, Lord Bebimon."
Bebi-Metalla X flies off from the rooftop and levitates down nearer towards the crowds. They chanted his name as if he were a popular celebrity. In fact, these fanatics were over obsessed with him and put their obsession with every other celebrity to shame.
Even Rika and Renamon were amongst the people cheering for Bebi-Metalla X. They, among the other allies of Tai, were brainwashed.
"Hear me, my fellow Tufflesurians. There are intruders amongst us! It seems Taichi's son and company have arrived on the planet we call home."
"What?! That little brat is here?!" Yolei exclaimed. "There's a human amongst us!"
"Find the human and purify him into a Tufflesurian!" Ken cried out.
"When I find that young man, he's going to be so punished!" Sora said. "Find my son and bring him to me!"
Meanwhile, Max and his friends stood out as the crowds turned to face them. The boy gulped and backed away.
"Um, guys. Now would be the perfect time to get the heck out of here," Calumon asked.
"No way! We're going to stay and fight! Ok, lose the disguises!" Max cried out.
The group immediately threw off their disguises and faced the angry crowds in defiance. Sora walked in front of the crowds and stared her son down.
"Max! As your mother, I demand you to turn yourself over to Bebimon. I can ask him to spare you and purify you into a Tufflesurian."
"No way. I don't think I'd like a seed crammed into my brain. Besides, that bastard killed dad! I won't ever forgive him for it."
"In that case, get ready to be punished, Max. You could have been spared but you brought this upon yourself."
Max growled with anger and quickly found Bebi-Metalla X flying over the crowd with his arms crossed. The boy points out to Bebimon.
"Well, well, well… If it isn't the son of Taichi?! Heard from your father lately?"
"Monster. We've come to stop you!" Takato exclaimed.
"And we're going to hand you your ass on a silver platter!" Takuya cried out.
"Um, couldn't you come up with a better comeback?" Zoe asked. "That's say… old news."
"Hey, I couldn't come up with anything better. So sue me."
"You weaklings stop me?" Bebi-Metalla X laughed. "You guys wouldn't want to gang up on me. It wouldn't be a wise choice. Now would it? So I brought along some allies. War Angemon! Celesta X! Come forth!"
By his command, the holy warriors appeared beside the Tufflesurian's left and right hand sides. Takato and Guilmon prepared themselves for battle, as well as Impmon. Takuya and his friends reached for their D-Tectors.
"No, Bebimon. These guys are just spectators. It's down to you and me. My friends will handle your minions there and help restore them to their normal selves. You only beat me cause my guard was down. Now I'm ready to face you without dirty tricks involved."
"Max. Please, make sure to free my father from his control. He possessed my father's body and I want Bebimon to pay for taking his body," Keke begged.
"Don't worry. I intend to. Wish me luck, guys."
"Max! Don't get carried away, boy. You have no chance to defeat me in this perfect form."
"Oh yeah? Never underestimate the rookies."
"We'll just put that to the test, boy!"
Max steps forward onto the battlefield and looks up towards his enemy. The Tufflesurian levitates down and waves out to his brainwashed followers.
"Back away my Tufflesurians. I'll rid you of this pest."
"You go, Lord Bebimon!" the crowds chanted.
Meanwhile, War Angemon and Celesta X turned their attentions to Max's allies. Takato was the first to stand in defiance with his D-Ark intact.
"That just leaves you with us," War Angemon said with a chuckle. "Bring us everything you've got."
"You want us? You've got it!" Takuya exclaimed. "Execute!"
"Spirit Evolution!" the legendary warriors exclaimed in unison.
Standing in the childrens' palces were six of the legendary warriors of tale. Kazemon, Kumamon, Beetlemon, and Loweemon stood in fighting stances.
Takuya and Kouji took it upon themselves to use their D-Tectors to summon the power of every spirit to reach their mega forms.
"Execute! Unified Spirit Evolution!"
In place of the boys were the powerful Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon.
"Calumon! Its time, butterball!" Impmon said.
Calumon's red emerald emitted a bright glow, which allowed Impmon to digivolve into his mega form. Beelzebumon Blast Mode emerged with his gun ready intact.
"Let's rock 'N roll."
"Guilmon! Let's kick it up a notch! Bio-Merge Activate!"
The Tamer boy and his partner were merged together into one in a split second. They then evolved into a heavily armored knight with a shield and joust.
"Gallantmon!"
After everyone digivolved, Pikkan leaped out from his disguise and powers up an aura.
"Leomon. Get Jeri and Keke somewhere safe. Then, when you can, come back and lend us a hand."
"Understood."
With that said, Leomon picks Jeri up and flies off with Keke following along.
"Pikkan! You be careful!" Jeri calls out. "Leomon. You're going back to help them, right?"
"Yes, but you're safety comes first."
"Let's hurry it up. Those crowds are following us and they don't seem to enjoy our company."
"Oh you think?" Jeri said.
Shintomon's Holy Sanctuary
Gosenzomon was finishing up his pile of bikini/porno magazines. He sighed with a satisfied grin on his face and chuckled uncontrollably.
"They just never seem to disappoint me. These girls really know how to work on their bodies."
Suddenly, the elder digimon turned to find Shintomon and Gosenzomon. Along with them were BW, Tai and Agumon. Gosenzomon sits up and walks over to them.
"Ugh, dirty old man," BW muttered.
"Heh. I actually promised to let him touch Mimi's boobs and butt," Tai whispered to him.
"Tai! Man, you're bad!"
"I heard that you two," the elder spoke. "I want to see that woman here right away."
"Look, can we get to that later?"
"You're right, Taichi. I apologize. It's good to see you, Taichi. Same to you, Agumon. Did BW give you two a hard time?"
"Not at all," replied Agumon.
"Sorry we didn't promise you to touch Mimi's butt and boobs," Tai said. "We were really in a tight spot then."
"Oh, don't worry about it. I had my moments with her. Now I see why you came."
"Yeah, explain this tail and hidden power business," Agumon said.
"I'll explain later, my boy. What you need is your training."
"Well, we're not sure if you're capable of giving us a tough training session."
"Taichi! You don't think I'm capable of such a feat?!"
"No offense, sir, but he's right," Shintomon said.
"You may have unleashed Kari's hidden powers, but what can you do for these two?"
"Maybe bore them to death with stories from his past," BW muttered.
"I'll have to agree with the masses here," Tai said. "Seriously, can we expect learning techniques from a senile, old rusted digimon?"
"Look what I did for Hikari. Have you forgotten?"
"No, but I figured that you would have lost your power then."
"I still have reserves, my boy. Omega X may have incredible power, but I have experience and wisdom. You would have been peeing your pants if you seen me in my prime."
"I find that hard to believe," BW said. "Maybe we should have let X handle this."
Agumon and Tai looked towards each other with dumbfounded looks on their faces. Gosenzomon coughed to himself as he turned his back on the two.
"You would have enjoyed this brief training tip. It would have definitely helped you in your battle. But, all I can say is… SCREW YOU!"
"Ok! Ok! We take it all back," Tai said. "Please. Tell us this training exercise you have for us."
"Tai's right! We could really benefit from it," said Agumon.
"As long as you promise me to bring me a single, young-aged girl with a nice posterior."
"All right. Anything! We'll bring you that girl once this crap is over with. So, what's this special training exercise you have for us?"
Gosenzomon turned to face both Tai and Agumon with a grin on his face. With a wave of his hand, he forms two rubber balls.
"Elder, this isn't time to play games!" Shintomon said.
"I think I've lost some respect for your ancestor, Shintomon," Buddamon replied.
"Oh, you've got to be freaking kidding me!" BW said after slapping his forehead.
"Um? You actually think that a game of dodge ball is going to help us with this brief training assignment?" Tai asked. "I don't know. We shouldn't be playing any games."
"Trust me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing this. Plus, these are no ordinary dodge balls. They are both three thousand times the weight of anything found on earth."
"Hey, if you can catch a heavy ball, then you can kick Bebimon's ass," BW said.
"Whoa! No kidding?!" Agumon said. "Should we need to go into Omega X form to complete this?"
"Actually, you're going to have to do this at your base forms. I want to see if you're capable of catching these balls. If you are unable to catch them, then there's no chance of you ever going back to avenge your family. Bebimon has found new ways to increase his power by possessing Yamato."
"Matt?"
"That's right. Even though your speed and power were beyond anyone's imagination, Bebimon still surpassed you. He managed to balance out his speed and power. Now, it's your turn. Lets see if your speed will be able to catch these balls. Then we'll determine whether your base forms will be able to lift such heavy objects. Tai, I've got a question? How strong are you at your human base form?"
"Strong enough. My strength has increased ever since I first became Omega X."
"Good. By now, you should be able to hold these two objects. Now! Lets play some ball!"
"We can't screw this up, Agumon. Our family and friends are counting on us."
"Right!"
The two stood their ground as Gosenzomon prepared to throw the balls. The elder wrenched back and threw them. They came flying out at the two with tremendous speed and force. Tai held out his hands as one ball came flying at him.
"This ought to be interesting," Shintomon stated. "What do you think, Buddamon?"
"This is nonsense. We have an urgent situation on earth and we're here playing dodge ball?! I think I want to quit this job and consider retirement."
"Please, catch it. Please, catch it."
The ball came near Tai as he quickly reacted and watched as the ball came into his hands. The force managed to push him back a bit and he managed to let out a collective gasp. Agumon soon followed as the ball came landing in his grasp. Tai never felt anything so heavy in his life. The elder was correct about the ball being heavier than any solid found on Earth.
"Damn...this is heavy. Hey, so how long are we supposed to hold these?"
"I would say for another twenty minutes."
"TWENTY MINUTES?!"
"Just keep that pose. Don't drop them or you'll have your feet crushed."
"Oh! Thanks for the warning!" Tai exclaimed. "Crap. Why do these things always happen to me?"
"I second that," replied Agumon.
"I feel sorry for those two," BW said. "Oh well. I think I'll go take a nap. Wake me up when this is over."
"You're taking a nap already? Shintomon asked.
"There's nothing else for me to do. If I were you, then I would keep an eye on Earth through that orb of yours."
"Good idea. Keep it up, Taichi!"
Gosenzomon stood and watched the duo holding the heavy-weighted balls. He chuckled underneath his armored mask.
"Heh. I'll have these two stronger than ever once they go out and kick some ass. Those heavyweights ought to release Agumon's second tail. Bebimon better have a prayer left in his body. He's going to be facing a big, lean machine."
Planet Plant
The city soon became a haven for a battlefield as Max faced off with Bebi-Metalla X. Everyone else were prepared to face off with Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon.
The other Digi-Destined stood out from the crowd and watched the showdowns with anticipation. Rika took a glance over to Gallantmon and felt her heart beat fast. She placed her hand over her heart.
"What is this feeling? Why am I all of a sudden showing affection for this human? No, Bebimon will dispose of this nuisance."
"Rika. Get back. I'm afraid this will get ugly," Renamon assured her human partner.
"Yeah. Thanks for the warning."
Gallantmon made his first advanced move into the battlefield and clashed with War Angemon. The angelic warrior threw out rapid punches, but Gallantmon put up his shield in defense. War Angemon pushes back on Gallantmon and blasts him with an energy beam.
"Man, I didn't think TK would be this strong! We can't afford to destroy their bodies, because I'll never forgive myself if it comes down to that."
"Chaos Flare!"
The winged demon fires his own shot and it makes a direct hit on War Angemon's back. The exalted knight takes advantage and takes the warrior down with a shoulder block takedown.
"Thanks, Beelzebumon!"
"Next time, I'm not covering for your ass."
"Fair enough."
"Heads up!"
Gallantmon turns around and is met with a spinning heel kick from Celesta X. Beelzebumon flies out and attempts a claw slash, but Celesta X easily saw him coming. She crouches and delivers a fist into his gut. The winged demon spits out blood and plummets down.
"Hang in there, Beelzebumon!" Kaiser Greymon calls out. "Over here, Kari! Please, we don't want to fight you. You've been brainwashed by Bebimon."
However, Celesta X ignored his pleas and shoots out an energy blast towards Kaiser Greymon. The warrior takes out his sword and slices it in two. Much to his dismay, the energy shots exploded right away and sent Kaiser Greymon reeling back with heavy damage.
"I'm take her, Takuya! You can't reason with them," Magna Garurumon said. "How about you take me?!"
"Sure, but I doubt you can ever catch me."
"We'll see about that!" Magna Garurumon roars in defiance.
The wolf mega throws himself onto Celesta X and throws out rapid punches, which Celesta X easily avoided. None of his punches were even making contact with her. The female takes advantage of the warrior and thrusts a knee into his chin. The impact resulted in Magna Garurumon falling near where his partner was laying.
"Oh crap! What chance do we have?!" Beetlemon exclaimed.
"We're going to have to give it a try!" replied Kazemon.
"Let's go!" Loweemon cries out.
The four remaining legendary warriors flew out into the battlefield. Looking on from the sidelines were Avengemon and Calumon. The tiny digimon hid under Avengemon's tight grip.
"I can't watch, Avengemon!"
"I'm worried about Dorothy. She should have been here by now. With her around, then I fight better than I usually do. Those guys don't have a chance at all."
Celesta X flew over and helped War Angemon back onto his feet. As soon as Celesta X turned, she realized the other warriors were preparing their attacks.
"Let's do it!" the warriors cried out.
"Hurricane Wave!"
"Thunder Fist!"
"Shadow Meteor!"
"Crystal Freeze!"
War Angemon immediately steps forward and puts a stop to their attacks with a wave of his own aura. This stopped the four warriors at their tracks.
"Ok, any new ideas?" Beetlemon pondered.
"Nope. We'll have to go into our beast forms," said Kazemon. "Ready?!"
"Not on my time," War Angemon spoke. "You four don't even stand a chance. Don't waste our time, unless you want to join your friends."
"Damn. Bebimon really did screw with their heads!" Loweemon exclaimed.
"Never speak foully of our lord and master," Celesta X snapped.
Suddenly, Pikkan appears between the legendary warriors and the angelic duo. He throws off his weighted clothing and gets into a battle stance.
"Stop right there, Hikari. Takeru. You're right is with me."
"Finally, some decent competition," War Angemon said. "Perhaps you won't disappoint us."
"I doubt that."
Elsewhere, Max stood on top of a column while staring down Bebi-Metalla X with anger. The mutant uncrosses his arms nods his head. They immediately got into battle stances. Suddenly, Max turned and felt Keke's presence. The girl levitated on the ground and watched the face off.
"Keke, what are you-"
"Your move, kid."
"After you…"
With that said, the two fighters quickly vanished from sight. The group looked on and could barely keep up with both warriors. They were moving beyond the speed of light. There hardly any flashes of light colliding with one another. However, Avengemon was able to see the movements.
"Wow. Look at them go. It's hard to believe that Max was able to improve this much. Then again, he's a Kamiya. They pull out all the stops."
Max came flying down as he went for an ax handle smash, but Bebi-Metalla X was able to phase away. Max turned and saw Bebi-Metalla X punching him in the face. Max was sent flying backwards, but he managed to stop himself. Bebi-Metalla X came out of nowhere and executes a head butt into the boy's stomach. Max held his stomach in tremendous pain, which allowed Bebi-Metalla X to take advantage and knock him away with a powerful energy blast. Max falls to the ground and formed a crater as a result.
"If that was your best shot, then you're in big trouble, boy. By challenging me, you will face certain death."
Max slowly rises to his feet as Keke looked on with shock. She clenched her fists and was going to stand by to cheer for her man. Max cries out as another aura formed. Bebi-Metalla X simply nodded his head.
"Such a shame that a boy your age is willing to die for his comrades. But that's my not problem. You saw where your father ended up. He played that heroic crap and was killed in the process. He knew who the better man was."
"My father is twice the man you will ever be. Hell, Keke's father is also twice the man you will ever be. You took her father's body. I'm going to make sure that his body is free of your control! Now, cut the crap and lets continue!"
"As you wish…"
Just as he said that, Max came flying at the Tufflesurian with full speed. Bebi-Metalla X simply smiled and phased from sight. Max gasped in shock by the speed to which the Tufflesurian had used.
"No… He's too… fast… I couldn't even detect his movements…"
"Max! Look out behind you!" Keke cried out.
Just as the boy turned around, Bebimon cleaned the boy's clock with a reverse kick to his side head. Max was sent flying backwards as he crashed into a nearby rock ledge.
"MAX!" the girl managed to cry out.
"Stand back, Keke. This is Max's fight," Avengemon said.
"But he needs our…"
Avengemon simply nodded his head. Keke couldn't do a single thing but watch. Bebi-Metalla X smiles over at the pile of rubble which covered Max. His smile turns into that of a sneer.
"It's over for you, Max Kamiya!"
Shintomon's Holy Sanctuary
Gosenzomon looked at his watch while keeping up with the time duration of which Tai and Agumon were forced to hold two heavy digital balls. These balls were heavier than anything found on Planet Earth. So far, it has been eighteen minutes. Tai has never felt this much strain as he was feeling now. Omega X would have easily handled this but Tai was certainly not living up to this expectations. The same could be definitely said for Agumon.
"How long before the twenty minutes are up? I can't feel my damn knees," Tai muttered under his breathe.
"Just another minute. You've been actually taking this rather well. Just keep it up," replied Gosenzomon. "You almost got it."
BW woke up from his sleep and yawned. He turns over towards Tai and Agumon.
"They're still not finished? Damn, I should have slept longer."
"My back is just about to give out! I can't this anymore…" Agumon said while struggling with the rubber ball.
"Just one minute. That's all I have. Then we'll see if this will actually help us. I hope it does. For the sake of my family and friends. I hope Max isn't rushing out to fight Bebimon."
Just then, Shintomon came flying by with what looked like a miniature monument. Tai and Agumon both turned to see Shintomon flying down with the item. Gosenzomon looked at his watch and noticed that there were ten seconds left.
"Shintomon, what the heck is that you're holding?" Tai asked.
"I forgot to give this to you. It's a present from Lady Moinanea," Shintomon said. "I think it has something to do with reaching a new level of digital ascension."
"WHAT?!"
Tai dropped his ball and it quickly smashed his foot. The boy cried out as he pulled his foot from under the ball. Gosenzomon looked at his watch and nodded in disappointment. Shintomon had just interrupted the training.
"Feh, butterfingers," BW muttered.
"Whoops. Did I just interrupt your training?" Shintomon asked.
"Plus you did more than that! You messed up my concentration and had the damn ball fall on my foot! Crap! This sucks! I can barely walk now! My friends are counting on me!"
"I'm sorry, Taichi. Elder, please give him a break."
"Well, he was able to hold it from nearly twenty minutes. Just three seconds and he would have completed his training. By my standards, this would count as a failure and he would be forced to start all over again."
This caught Tai's attention as he turned over towards the elder with a grieving look. However, a smile formed across Gosenzomon's face.
"I'll cut you a break, Tai. You did manage to hold that pose for those nineteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds. Don't sweat it. You've managed to increase your strength, though Agumon did pass his training session. Though, his second tail didn't grow."
"Whew. Now I can relax," Agumon said as he threw the ball aside.
"The second tail isn't really important to us anyway. Besides, we still have to save our friends," Tai said. "They need us more than ever."
"Not as long as you two need this. This is what I was trying to tell you about," Shintomon said.
"So this is one of those spirits?" asked Tai.
"Yes, but as you can see it has the symbol of courage on it. It was created for the warrior of courage to use. So says Lady Moinanea."
Flashback
Shintomon receives the sacred artifact of courage from Lady Moinanea. The overseer takes the spirit and bows respectfully to the demigoddess.
"Make sure to give this to Taichi. I forgot to give this item to him and I would like for him to have it. If it wasn't for him, I would still be trapped inside of that dragon's body."
"I'll be sure to deliver this artifact to him."
"Thank you, dear Shintomon. Alas, this artifact contains great power and Tai must have the responsibility to control its overwhelming power."
"I see."
"Eventually, he will use it at the time of a great crisis and I predict that time maybe sooner than I thought."
End of Flashback
Tai takes a good examination of the artifact and smiles.
"So, I was supposed to have found this when I met Takuya and his friends? Well that just bites. What is it supposed to do?"
"Legends say that the warrior of courage will be given the power to ascend to the highest level of digital fusion. Something to which has never been seen. So, looks like you'll be the first to uncover this legend. If the prophecy is true, then you, as Omega X, should be able to reach a new digital level."
This only brought a smile across Tai's face as he held the item. It looked like a dragon-like beast with fiery wings and a metal-plated head. The symbol of courage was burning over its chest.
"Wow. I've never felt such a power. Its as if it were calling out to only me," Tai said to himself.
"Tai? So what do you think? Would you expect it? You should thank Lady Moinanea. She's honored to have met you, Taichi," Shintomon said.
"I'll take it. But I might want to try it right when I return home. I don't want to risk using it and unleashing its power here," Tai said. "Agumon. Looks like we're about to be heading back home."
"Ok."
"Lady Moinanea. Thank you. I'll put this spirit to good use."
Planet Plant
"Its over for you, Max Kamiya!"
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X points out and fires a ki blast over at the fallen boy. Everyone, including Keke, looked on and was all ready to make their move. Max could do nothing but watch as the beam came closer towards him. Avengemon was just moments from pushing the boy away from the beam. Just then, a figure came appearing and takes the blast on impact. Bebi-Metalla X was taken back by the figure.
"What the hell?"
"Huh?! I couldn't even detect that!" Avengemon said.
"Max?! Are you okay?!" the girl cried out.
"I'm fine, but who just saved me?"
The smoke started to clear away as MegaVeemon stood in the way with his body scorching from the blast. Max could barely move, let alone open his eyes.
"Keke. Take the boy away from the battle. He's pretty hurt badly," MegaVeemon said.
"Right, but you were able to sense that blast?"
"Dudes, it's me! Davis! Does that ring a bell? Can't believe you forgot all about me."
"Davis?! What the heck?! How? You and Veemon fused together?!"
"It's a long story. Take Max away from here. He ought to be healed. He's a boy full of heart, just like his father."
Avengemon nodded as he quickly swooped down and snatched Max up. The digimon takes Max over to where Keke stood. Keke rushes over and takes Max from Avengemon's arms.
"Max! Thank goodness! I thought you'd die out there!"
"Ha. You know me better than that. Besides, if you want to thank somebody, it should be MegaVeemon."
"Yeah, but you need to get healed. If only we had Kara. She would have fixed you right up."
"Damn! I knew I should have gone in there when I had the chance," Gallantmon said while struggling to sit up.
"Don't worry about it. You would have been too late to save him, pineapple head," Beelzebumon said. "Didn't you see how Bebimon was able to move? That was ten times faster than the D-Reaper could ever hope to move."
"Speaking of Davis, you think he stands a chance?" Kaiser Greymon pondered.
"If I were you, then you should worry about us," replied Celesta X.
"What do you think, Pikkan?" Kazemon asked.
"To tell ya the truth, I can't say," replied Pikkan. "It's really up to MegaVeemon's instincts now. We'll just have to see where he goes from here, but I wouldn't dare bet against him."
"That's right. You shouldn't," a feminine voice called out.
The entire group looked up to see Avengemon's partner. She is a blonde-haired girl with a schoolgirl uniform. Her hair was in a ponytail and in her hand was a D-Ark. Her name is Dorothy Kaimodosu. Max looked up and smiled.
"Dorothy? We thought you'd been one of Bebimon's slaves."
"It's going to take more than him to enslave me. Besides, I've had MegaVeemon protecting me. So, that's Bebimon? He's pretty fast, but I think Avengemon and MegaVeemon should handle him."
"Are you sure?" Keke asked.
"Yes. We'll take it from here," Avengemon replied.
"Are you insane?! You just saw what that asshole just did," Pikkan said.
"I know. I saw everything. Just leave everything to Avengemon and MegaVeemon. Pikkan, you have healing powers right?" Dorothy asked.
"Yes."
"Well, Max could use it. Poor kid needs it. I admire his courage, but it's going to take more to defeat Bebimon."
"All right, but MegaVeemon and Avengemon better be careful."
Dorothy walked towards the battlefield and stopped to see the showdown with MegaVeemon and Avengemon against Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian simply smirked. The duo stood into a usual battle position.
"MegaVeemon, huh? Judging by your ki, you're Davis and Veemon fused into a formidable warrior. This is quite an interesting turn of events. Once I'm done with you, I want Max fully healed and at his best when we finish our fight."
"Don't worry. You won't even have to fight Max, because we'll be done with you in no time," Dorothy said.
"Is that a fact? Well then, let this battle begin."
"If you're ready to put up and shut up!" MegaVeemon retorted.
MegaVeemon and Avengemon stood their ground as Bebi-Metalla X powered up. The two superpowers were now ready to go out it.
Finally, MegaVeemon has arrived on the battlefield and is willing to lend Avengemon a hand. But, can their combined efforts put down Bebimon and rid the digital universe of his evil? Can Pikkan and everyone else recover from their war with Celesta X and War Angemon? Tai has received a new spirit, but can he put it to good use or will it backfire? The battle on Plant continues!

Avengemon and MegaVeemon Unite as One! The Emergence of Saber Veemon!
The smoke started to clear away as MegaVeemon stood in the way with his body scorching from the blast. Max could barely move, let alone open his eyes.
"Keke. Take the boy away from the battle. He's pretty hurt badly," MegaVeemon said.
"Right, but you were able to sense that blast?"
"Dudes, it's me! Davis! Does that ring a bell? Can't believe you forgot all about me."
"Davis?! What the heck?! How? You and Veemon fused together?!"
"It's a long story. Take Max away from here. He ought to be healed. He's a boy full of heart, just like his father."
Avengemon nodded as he quickly swooped down and snatched Max up. The digimon takes Max over to where Keke stood. Keke rushes over and takes Max from Avengemon's arms.
"Max! Thank goodness! I thought you'd die out there!"
"Ha. You know me better than that. Besides, if you want to thank somebody, it should be MegaVeemon."
"Yeah, but you need to get healed. If only we had Kara. She would have fixed you right up."

"Speaking of Davis, you think he stands a chance?" Kaiser Greymon pondered.
"If I were you, then you should worry about us," replied Celesta X.
"What do you think, Pikkan?" Kazemon asked.
"To tell ya the truth, I can't say," replied Pikkan. "It's really up to MegaVeemon's instincts now. We'll just have to see where he goes from here, but I wouldn't dare bet against him."
"That's right. You shouldn't," a feminine voice called out.
The entire group looked up to see Avengemon's partner. She is a blonde-haired girl with a schoolgirl uniform. Her hair was in a ponytail and in her hand was a D-Ark. Her name is Dorothy Kaimodosu. Max looked up and smiled.

"Are you sure?" Keke asked.

"Are you insane?! You just saw what that asshole just did," Pikkan said.
"I know. I saw everything. Just leave everything to Avengemon and MegaVeemon. Pikkan, you have healing powers right?" Dorothy asked.
"Yes."
"Well, Max could use it. Poor kid needs it. I admire his courage, but it's going to take more to defeat Bebimon."
"All right, but MegaVeemon and Avengemon better be careful."
Dorothy walked towards the battlefield and stopped to see the showdown with MegaVeemon and Avengemon against Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian simply smirked. The duo stood into a usual battle position.

"Is that a fact? Well then, let this battle begin."
"If you're ready to put up and shut up!" MegaVeemon retorted.
MegaVeemon and Avengemon stood their ground as Bebi-Metalla X powered up. The two superpowers were now ready to go out it.
"Meh. I can't believe I missed out on a few little nuisances," Bebi-Metalla X said. "They should have been influenced by my harvested seeds. Alas, this really makes no difference. They shall fall before me."
"Max. Hey, tell me. Is he gone?" MegaVeemon asked.
"Huh? My dad?"
"Yeah. So, answer my question. Is Tai really gone from this existence?"
"Yes, but I refuse to believe it. My dad is not gone! He'll be back. Please, don't tell me you're going to give me a lecture about life and death."
"No, because I completely agree with you. Tai isn't dead. He will come back. I have a good feeling that he will. Just keep believing and he'll return. I guarantee it."
"Really?"
"Kid. I've known you're dad for a long time. He simply never fails to amaze me. Once he comes back, then he's going to whip Bebimon's ass."
"What was that I heard? Somebody was kick my ass?" the Tufflesurian blurted out. "Are you referring to, Tai?"
MegaVeemon turned his attention back on the floating Tufflesurian. The villain simply chuckled and uncrosses his muscular arms.
"Face the facts, boys. You're hero is gone. I'm the one who sent him straight to hell. Do you guys want to join him? I'll be more than happy to oblige."
"I'll be more than happy to send my foot up your ass!" MegaVeemon threatened.
"My, my, such a foul mouth. I mean really. All that's left before me are you and Avengemon. Judging by your power levels, I have no reason to worry."
"You'll regret saying that, Bebimon!" Avengemon exclaimed.
"That monster killed my teacher?" Dorothy asked. "No, I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it."
"It's true, Dorothy!" Keke exclaimed.
"He's the one who brainwashed our families and friends. I saw him waste my father."
"Max. I'm sorry. Don't worry. We'll take care of this bastard from here."
"But Dorothy…"
"Keke. Get Max away from here. This is going to get ugly."
"Ok! C'mon, Max. We have to give them space to fight."
"But, I've got to help them. I'm the only one's who fought Bebimon other than my father. I should let them know how to attack him without hurting your dad's body."
"It's ok. I'm sure my father would want it this way. Our safety is more important."
"You're right. We'll only be in the way. Dorothy!"
The teenage girl turns her head and directs her attention on the boy. He gives her a thumbs up and flies off into the distance with Keke trailing along.
"Don't worry, Max. We'll beat this monster and avenge Tai. Bebimon. I won't ever forgive you. You took the life of my sensei!"
"You took the life of my friend," MegaVeemon growled with anger.
"Such hostility. I knew I'd have a few objectors, but this is getting out of hand. You're efforts are futile. Yamato's body has allowed me to increase my full power. If I were you, then I'd better say my prayers."
"Hey, guys!" Kaiser Greymon calls out to his fallen comrades. "Those two have the situation with Bebimon under their control. I finish we where left off. War Angemon! Celesta X! We're not through with you two, yet!"
The angelic warriors simply chuckled towards Kaiser Greymon's threats.
"Oh? Look that weakling actually threatened us," War Angemon said.
"Why don't we inflict some more punishment on them? I don't think they've quite learned their lesson," said Celesta X.
"Not a bad idea. I'll do anything to shut his mouth."
"Not unless you have to go through me," Magna Garurumon spoke out. "Hey, Takuya! Mind if I butt in?"
"Nah. I'm up for some tag team action."
Pikkan levitates down and decides to conserve his energy for a few moments. He motions over to Gallantmon and Beelzebumon.
"Are you two, all right?"
"Just peachy, but damn. I didn't think Kari would hit me that hard. She and TK whipped our asses," Gallantmon said.
"We'll take an ass kicking, but we'll keep coming back. Besides, I'm not through yet," Beelzebumon replied.
"Listen, we have to find a way to break Bebimon's control over those two. Only then, we might have a chance to defeat Bebimon without Tai."
"The question is, how are we going to do that?" the exalted knight wondered.
"Just leave it up to the tacticians like myself," the Alterian replied.
"In that case, any idea how to restore them and remove those seeds from their heads?" Gallantmon asked.
"I'm still working on that one. Why don't you guys go lend Takuya and Kouji a hand? Meanwhile, I'll go help the other legendary warriors with Kari."
"Are you sure you don't need our help?"
"I'm sure, Takato. On second thought, I could use your help. After all, she can upgrade herself into Mystic level. If she pulls it off, then we're screwed. I doubt even Crimson Mode can handle that."
"If it comes down to it, then I'll take it to her. But we can't kill her."
"Don't worry. It's possible that we can get through to her. She is the Warrior of Light."
"That's right and she can dispel any form of darkness," Gallantmon said. "Which means… That seed is history once she comes to her senses. C'mon, Pikkan! Let's give this a try!"
With a nod from the Alterian, the duo flies out over to Kazemon and the other legendary warriors. This allowed Beelzebumon to scramble to his feet and turn his attention to War Angemon.
"You two think you can take me in your conditions?" War Angemon laughed. "Don't even waste my time."
"I wouldn't talk down on us like that," Kaiser Greymon retorted. "We still haven't been formally introduced."
"You think I'd care?"
The two megas leaped out at War Angemon with their weapons intact. Kaiser Greymon comes down with his sword, which was easily caught by the angel's right hand. Magna Garurumon lets loose an energy blast from his arm cannon. However, War Angemon easily dodged to the side and lets the blast penetrate through a nearby tower. The tower explodes under a massive explosion of light.
"You're going to have to do better than that," War Angemon muttered.
With that said, War Angemon delivers a clothesline that takes down both warriors. Beelzebumon comes flying out from the horizon and sets his sights on War Angemon. He points his blaster towards the angelic warrior and smirks.
"I've got you now. Eat this!"
The winged demon waves his gun into a circular motion, thus creating a circular insignia with the devil's sign stamped in the middle. Beelzebumon lets out a battle cry, boosts his blaster and lets loose a powerful beam towards War Angemon.
"CHAOS FLARE!"
War Angemon stands his ground and flies up towards the ongoing blast. The warrior puts out his hands and pushes the overwhelming force. Beelzebumon could only look on with disbelief by the fused warrior's strength.
"He's pushing my attack back! That should have wasted him!"
"This is not enough, Beelzebumon! I expected better from you!"
However, War Angemon's advantage did not last any longer. Kaiser Greymon leaps out of nowhere and swung his sword. Thus, he unleashed a fiery wave shaped like a dragon. A barrage of bullets came from Magna Garurumon.
"PYRO DRAGONS!"
"MACHINEGUN DESTROY!"
War Angemon turned his head and watched the blasts make impact with his unprotected back. He screams out as the blasts penetrate through his armor and Beelzebumon's attack sends the angelic warrior crashing back. A massive explosion then engulfs his fallen form. The megas took cover from the explosion.
"That should do it!" Beelzebumon said. "Could have done it better myself."
"We just saved your ass. Don't go celebrating like that," Kaiser Greymon retorted.
"I'm afraid that will only put him down temporarily," replied Magna Garurumon. "He definitely would have survived that blast."
"What makes you think so?" Beelzebumon wondered.
"I can still feel out his energy. It's slowly fading, but he'll recover for sure."
"Well, that bites."
"I wonder how our boys are doing," Kaiser Greymon said. "Oh crap! Look at them go!"
As soon as three digimon stared at the skies, flashes of lights beamed across the skylines and collided with one another. More trails of light collided with the single force. This indicated that the legendary warriors were attacking Celesta X at once.
"You pesky flies are annoying me!" Celesta X barked. "Not only do I have these weaklings attacking me at once, but also I have to deal with Takato and Pikkan. Takeru was just struck down, but he'll recover. That's it. I'm ending this quick. Mystic Celesta shall suffice."
Celesta X immediately powers up with a bright aura enveloping her entire body. She lets out a scream that echoes throughout the heavens. Streaks of lighting rained down upon her powerful form. Gallantmon and Pikkan stopped as they felt her increasing ki.
"Get back guys! She's ascending into her Mystic form!" Gallantmon warned everyone.
"What exactly is this Mystic form?" Loweemon asked.
"Trust me. You don't want to know," Pikkan said.
"If she reaches her Mystic form, then we're screwed," Gallantmon replied. "Even if we attack together, we won't win."
"Now would be the perfect time to implement our plan," the Alterian reminded the knight.
"I know. Well, here goes nothing."
Gallantmon flies out towards Celesta X and stops in front of her. The female stopped her immediate power up and faced her student.
"Kari. You have to snap out of this. Please, remember who are you."
"I know who I am and I represent Lord Bebimon. You are to die, Takato."
"No! I refuse to believe that you're completely under control! Hikari! You're the one who helped me become the excellent Tamer I've become! If it weren't for your teachings, then I would have been a failure. You're the child of light! You're the enemy of all that is darkness. That includes Bebimon! Nobody controls your destiny, but yourself."
As soon as Gallantmon said those words, Celesta X gasped and grasped her head tightly. She lets out a scream and struggled to fight the evil seed within her brain.
"That's it, Kari! You have to let the light overcome the dark seed! You're stronger than Bebimon's hate!"
"I… am… stronger…"
"Yes! You can do it, Kari! I believe in you!"
"Pikkan. Care to explain this?" Beetlemon asked.
"It's simple you guys," Kazemon explained. "She's going to fight the evil seed. Is that right, Pikkan?"
"Exactly right, Zoe. Takato is reminding Kari of whom she really is. She's the child of light. Her light destroys all darkness. By reminding herself of her position, then she will free herself of Bebimon's control and fight on our side. Anything is better than fighting Mystic Celesta."
"Yeah. That I wouldn't want to imagine from the power I've just read from her," said Kumamon.
"Speaking of frightening powers, I just hope MegaVeemon and Avengemon can handle Bebimon on their own," Pikkan thought.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Looking on through Gosenzomon's orb, Tai and Shintomon watched the events unfold with Bebimon and Max. They were relieved when MegaVeemon came onto the scene. Though, he wasn't aware that Davis and Veemon had merged into MegaVeemon.
"So, you're telling me that's Davis and Veemon? Wow, it's about time those two became a true fusion warrior," Tai said.
"Awesome. He and Avengemon should handle Bebimon on their own."
"I hope you're right, Agumon. If they don't, then we're going back out there. Gosenzomon, will this spirit be a difference maker?"
Are you asking me? How the hell should I know? It's never been used before. I can't predict something that's never been done before."
"Well, some 'God' you are," the goggle head muttered.
"What was that?! I should have you know that once ruled as the higher power for many generations before you and your gang threw off the balance of the Digital Universe with your fusion! Because of you, we have a bunch of wackos performing a form of digital fusion. What's this generation coming to?"
"Hey, Tai. Agumon. If I were you, I'd stick around until something turns out. It seems your kid is doing fine at the moment."
"I know that, BW. That is why I'm sticking to see what Davis and Avengemon are going to do at the moment."
"Yeah. They just might surprise you, Tai. You never know," Agumon said.
"Well I never expected Davis to pull this off, so there's always a room for a major upset in our favor."
Planet Plant
Meanwhile, Bebi-Metalla X levitated while MegaVeemon and Avengemon powered up. Bright, shiny auras enveloped the warrior pair and they each took a fighting stance. The Tufflesurian examined their ki readings with curiosity. He clenches his fist and flies out towards his two adversaries.
"Avengemon! Brace yourself!" Dorothy calls out.
(Play random Yu Yu Hakusho battle theme)
Within a matter a second, the three superpowers vanished from sight and steaks of light collided across the skies. The trio of lights was in fact Bebi-Metalla X, Avengemon and MegaVeemon. The human eye couldn't see them, but any digital warrior should be able to follow their ki. Max and Keke were no exceptions. The child pair found a perfect hiding spot under a pile of rubble to feel out the warriors' kis.
"Have any idea of what's going on?" Keke asked.
"No. All I know is that they're trying everything they can to inflict damage on Bebimon. Damn! They're too fast for me to follow! Wow, I never thought Avengemon was this powerful."
"Don't be surprised," Dorothy spoke out.
The children found Dorothy walking towards her hiding spot and kneels down beside them.
"He was once the D-Reaper. Avengemon still inherits some of the D-Reaper's power. He even has the power to delete any digital life form. Though, it's not necessary for him to implement that technique. It's his last resort."
"Yeah, but Bebimon isn't just going to stand around and let Avengemon use it on him," Max said.
"You forget that Davis and Veemon are helping him!" Dorothy replied.
"But that monster possessed my father's body!" Keke retorted. "I will not allow your digimon partner to delete his body!"
"What?! I never knew that bastard took over your father's body," said Dorothy. "This might be possibly more difficult than I thought. Not only do we have to get that monster out from your dad's body but we also must prevent Avengemon from carrying out any of his deletion techniques. I never took this into account."
"Well, now you know," Keke spoke with relief.
"Any bright ideas?" Max asked.
"We'll leave this to MegaVeemon. After all, he is assisting Avengemon and will help guide him through," Dorothy said.
Suddenly, their conversation was immediately interrupted when Avengemon was sent plummeting towards the ground. Avengemon crashed through the earth and the impact creates a crater in his wake. MegaVeemon still manages to put up an offensive, until Bebi-Metalla X hammers him with fists to his face. The fused warrior leaps away while recovering from the blows. The mutant examines the damage he's inflicted on his two adversaries and nods.
(End battle theme)
"Just as I thought, you two are far weaker than I have hoped for," Bebi-Metalla X stated.
"Don't get too sure of yourself," MegaVeemon said.
Avengemon was barely moving as his body started to wear down. Slowly, he crawls out from the crater with little strength he has left.
"Avengemon!" MegaVeemon calls out. "Are you going to be all right?!"
"Are you still able to continue this, Avengemon?" Dorothy asked frantically.
"I'm not too sure. He's too fast and his strength is overwhelming. Combined with those attributes, his aggressive nature marks him as a very dangerous adversary. I'm not sure if my techniques can hit their mark."
"Hold on, Avengemon! You have to hang in there!" the girl cries out. "MegaVeemon. You'll have to stall more time to allow Avengemon some recovery!"
"You got it!"
The girl then faces Bebi-Metalla X and listened to the villain cackling like a madman. She gave him an angry sneer as he levitated into the crater. She must take action before Bebimon was given an open opportunity to eliminate her partner.
"Keke! We have to go in there and save Avengemon!" Max said. "I wish I could move though, but that creep literally pounded the crap out of me. I can barely… move a muscle."
"Don't worry, Max. Davis is here anyways. You just need time to recover."
"Go get 'em, Davis. This is your only chance."
(Play Digimon Zero Two theme Beat Hit plays)
MegaVeemon lets out another battle cry as he came soaring over Bebi-Metalla X. The mutant turns his attention on the warrior. The fused warrior's hand stretches out and a sword materialized around it. He takes the sword and comes flying down onto Bebimon with a slash.
"V Blade!"
However, Bebi-Metalla X quickly phases out from MegaVeemon's assault. The warrior stops to look around his surroundings. Suddenly, he felt a presence sneaking up from above and watched an energy beam raining down on him. He manages to leap away at the last moment and allowed the blast to penetrate through the ground. The blast resulted in a moderate-sized explosion and left an even larger crater at its wake.
"Damn! I've barely had any time to detect that!"
Bebi-Metalla X reappears above the newly formed crater with a malevolent grin.
"Anything else you wish to use as a last resort before I finish this little game?"
"Hey! I'm not done yet, pal!" MegaVeemon calls out. "C'mon! I'm ready for you."
"Ah, so the annoying insect refuses to quit? Suit yourself. I'll make this quick."
MegaVeemon flies out towards Bebi-Metalla X and throws out an array of punches. The mutant dodged each punch with little effort and thrusts a knee into MegaVeemon's gut. The fused warrior gasped for air and grasped his gut.
"Damn… That was cheap…"
Bebi-Metalla X simply chuckled under his breath and delivers his own array of martial arts blows across MegaVeemon's form. The warrior struggled against the villain's deafening blows. Bebi-Metalla X drives an elbow into MegaVeemon and tosses him down.
"This insect puts up quite a fight," Bebi-Metalla X spoke of the warrior's tenacity.
As soon as MegaVeemon came close to plummeting to the ground, Avengemon manages to catch him in time. Bebi-Metalla X targets for the duo and dives down with fists coated with energy.
"I'll kill two birds with one stone!"
"Avengemon! Heads up!" Dorothy exclaimed.
"C'mon, Davis!" the kids cried out for their friend.
"Psst, Avengemon. Toss me up to him," MegaVeemon whispered to Avengemon.
"Good idea. Here we go!"
Avengemon swung around with tremendous speed and hurls MegaVeemon upwards. The warrior found himself flying towards Bebi-Metalla X and poised himself into a rocket-position. MegaVeemon goes soaring up and delivers a vicious head butt into Bebimon's chest. The mutant spits out some blood and retaliates with a fist to MegaVeemon's face.
"Now that's got to hurt," Bebimon commented.
"Heh. Maybe you should look again, pink."
"What's that?"
"V Blade!"
With one thrust of his sword, MegaVeemon knocks Bebi-Metalla X back into a nearby building wall. The warrior follows out onto his enemy's whereabouts and wields his sword mightily. The Tufflesurian puts his hands out in front of him and unleashes an energy blast.
"Eat this, worm!"
MegaVeemon watched the blast approach near him and hacks through it with his sword. Bebi-Metalla X growls with frustration and pulls himself from out of the way.
Immediately coming out from underneath the rubble, War Angemon flies out with minor injuries and tends to Bebimon. Tike and Kara also made their presence felt and joined them.
"Lord Bebimon! Let us be of some assistance," War Angemon said.
"That's right! We can work together and take this worthless human out," responded Tike.
"What?! You fools don't think I can handle this on my own? I don't require your assistance."
"But Bebimon… We can win if we work as a unit," Kara explained.
"No! You three stay out of my way!"
As soon as Bebimon said that, he puts out his hands in front of himself and lets loose three massive energy shots. The trio was caught by each shot and sent hurtling across the battlefield. MegaVeemon and everyone else looked on as he sends them out of sight into the far distance. This only managed to anger them further. Of the whole group, Celesta X was the one emotionally distraught. She was forced to watch the mutant get rid of her family at once.
(End theme)
"Takeru! Tike! Kara!" the female screamed with anguish. "You… You monster! How could I pledge my allegiance to you?! You just hurt my own family!"
"Oh boy. He's in for it now," Beetlemon said.
"I feel terrible for her," Kazemon replied. "She was forced to watch her own family suffer the consequences, but for what?! Bebimon is unforgivable!"
"That was unexpected!" Kasier Greymon said. "Magna Garurumon! He's all alone! Let's take him!"
"No, it looks as though MegaVeemon will handle it on his own," the wolf mega replied.
"He's right, pal. What do you say we go and find those fellas that got blasted away?" Beelzebumon said. "I'd say that's the best we can do for now. We'll come back just in case ol' blueberry blows it."
"Wow, you really know how to show loyalty," Kaiser Greymon muttered.
"Hey, I'm not loyal to anyone but my Tamers. Now let's get moving!"
"Hey, where you three going?!" Pikkan calls out.
"We're going to see if we can find Kari's family! Maybe there's still hope to find them," said Magna Garurumon. "You guys try to help Kari overcome the seed!"
"Be careful and good journey!" Gallantmon responds. "All right, Kari! You just saw what you're so-called leader did to TK and the kids. Would a trust worthy leader ever put harm on your family?"
"No! Anyone who hurts my family shall never be forgiven. That… INCLUDES YOU TOO, BEBIMON!"
Summoning every ounce of her strength, Celesta X screams out and a bright aura of pure light engulfs her. The symbol of her Crest of Light shines brightly through her forehead and forces out the dark seed.
"Wow! Did you just see that?!" Keke exclaimed. "Max! Kari's power managed to drive the seed out of her head!"
"Yes! Now she'll help us beat Bebimon!"
Celesta X's form erupted with streaks of lighting circluating and pure light engulfing her. Bebi-Metalla X turned to find the source of the power upsurge and gasped to find Celesta X facing him.
"Hikari! But how did she free herself from under my control?!"
"Hey, pal! Where are you looking at? I'm your opponent!" MegaVeemon calls out.
The Tufflesurian turns back around to see MegaVeemon flying towards him. Bebi-Metalla X puts up another offense and shoots out an energy blast. The warrior immediately responds and goes to slice the blast in half with his sword. However, Avengemon stands in MegaVeemon's way.
"Avengemon! What the hell are you doing?!"
"There's no way you could have slashed through this blast like the last one! Please, just get back!"
"But, Avengemon!"
"Now! We can't afford to lose you!"
Unfortunately, Avengemon became the victim of Bebimon's onslaught. The energy blast penetrated through Avengemon's chest cavity. MegaVeemon and Dorothy gasped in utter horror as they viewed a gaping hole across Avengemon's chest. Bebi-Metalla X wasn't expecting to target Avengemon, but he was satisfied nonetheless.
"Hmph. I wasn't expecting you to take such a pointless sacrifice. Oh, well. Another lamb being thrown into the slaughter is fine by me. Say hello to Taichi for me in the after life."
Dorothy's eyes widened in utter horror and disbelief at the result. The others couldn't believe at what they had just seen. Dorothy leaps out from her hiding spot and rushes over to the crater. She slides down to her fallen partner's side, who was slowly undergoing his deletion.
"No! Avengemon! Avengemon! Please, you can't die! We were destined to be together. We promised to remain a team forever."
Avengemon slowly lifts his head up and faces Dorothy straight into her eyes. She places her hand over the dying digimon while tears started to build up around her eyes.
"I can't believe it! Dorothy, get out of there!" Max calls out.
"That's it! That creep is mine!" Keke exclaimed angrily.
The girl flew over at Bebi-Metalla X and clenched her fists tightly. The mutant merely grinned at the little girl.
"Awww. Aren't we looking sweet?"
"Cut the crap! You sicken me! You have no right to take the lives of others! I won't forgive you for taking my father's body! If he was around, he'd make you sorry!"
"Is that so? Well, then. Do you have enough heart to attack your own father's body? Remember this is going to be one difficult decision for you to make, Keke. Why don't you make it easier and join me? It's the only way to spend more time with daddy."
"No! Lair! He'd be sickened by your recent actions! As the daughter of Yamato Ishida, I will see to it that you are punished!"
"Keke! No! Get away from that monster!" Gallantmon pleads. "Pikkan! Let's go!"
"Right behind you!"
"No!" Celesta X calls out to the two. "I'll take care of him!"
"Kari! Have you really come back to your senses?" Gallantmon said. "Please tell me that you're back to normal."
To answer Takato's question, Celesta X simply gives him a smile and turns back facing Bebi-Metalla X. She flies out into the open and immediately stops in front of Bebi-Metalla X with eyes filled with intensity and rage. Gone was her purity and innocence.
"Keke! Get back! I'll take care of this."
"Kari! Thank goodness you're back! We thought we had lost you to Bebimon's control."
"There's no way darkness will ever overcome me again. Now, I advise you to get away from here and stay with Max. Can you do that for me?"
"I will."
"Good, now get going."
With a single nod, Keke heads off back to the area where Max was sitting.
"Keke!"
"Don't you worry a thing, Max. Aunt Kari is going take care of this punk. Just you wait and see."
"You know. I've heard my dad telling me that Aunt Kari was very powerful. She defeated an artificial named Virus and helped defeat the D-Reaper."
"Yeah. It's true. Bebimon will be no different. Hopefully, she can pull out all of the stops."
Bebi-Metalla X was astonished by the female's overwhelming 'Mystic' form. The angelic warrior lets out a sigh of breathe and phases out. This caught the mutant by surprise and threw him off his game. He felt an overwhelming power from above and saw 'Mystic' Celesta X coming down at him. She delivers a forearm smash over Bebimon's head, which was enough to send the Tufflesurian plummeting to the ground.
"All right, Kari!" Gallantmon cheered.
"Well, it looks as though she might not even need our help after all," Pikkan said. "Kari has this in the bag."
Celesta X powers up once again and dives down at her adversary. The Tufflesurian leaps back onto his feet while his followers chanted his name. They immediately displayed their malice towards the 'traitor'.
"How dare you?! Hikari! I gave you a chance to really become a loyal soldier of mine, but you had to screw it up! You managed to get rid of your seed, but I'll simply plant another one in you."
"Sorry, but you'll have to come up with something original."
"You'll regret those words, woman!"
"You shouldn't have referred to me that way, Bebimon. How rude of you…"
Immediately, Celesta X phases out completely from Bebimon's sight. He flies up in hope of detecting her ki signal. To his dismay, he sensed Celesta X from behind and turns around. He went for an energy shot, but Celesta X catches him with a fist to his left cheek. The force from her fist sends the Tufflesurian flying backwards through a building wall.
"Damn! Her punches have managed to hurt me! If she keeps this up, then I'm screwed! How should I defeat such a powerful warrior?"
Suddenly, something had caught Bebimon's attention and he immediately spotted Dorothy lying next to Avengemon. The villain smirked and dove down towards them.
"Hey! get back here!" Celesta X calls out. "We're not finished yet!"
"Whoa! He's going for Dorothy and Avengemon! Dorothy! Look out!" MegaVeemon exclaimed.
MegaVeemon flies out with Celesta X on their race to prevent Bebi-Metalla X from killing Dorothy. The girl was still kneeling beside her partner and wasn't able to move from her spot.
"Dorothy! Move away!" Max cried out. "Oh no! He's coming!"
"It's too late! I can't watch!" Keke screamed while covering her eyes.
Back down within the crater, Dorothy was still crying over her dying digimon. Teardrops fell upon Avengemon as a small reaction occurred. Dorothy stopped and looked over Avengemon. The digimon's body started to emulate a bright light. Dorothy jumped back as Avengemon rose to his feet. The girl felt relieved over what had just happened.
"Avengemon? You're alive… but I thought you'd die."
"I can only maintain this form for very little time. Dorothy we have to do something that will require your cooperation."
"Anything you name it."
"We must fuse into a single entity."
"Fuse? Just like how the others were able to perform."
"Yes, but there's one downside. If we unite, that means that I will never emerge again."
"What? But you can't leave me. You're not only my digimon but my best friend…"
"Don't worry. I'll always be with you. We'll have to fuse and transfer our power to a host and help ensure a victory on our side. Mega Veemon… shall suffice."
"MegaVeemon?"
"Our combined strength will ensure Bebimon's defeat… It's our last shot."
"Avengemon!"
"Sayanora, Dorothy… Never forget me…"
"I won't, my friend…"
As soon as he said that, Avengemon exploded into a stream of data. Dorothy walked through the data cloud and felt the data being absorbed into her own body. She felt an overwhelming power within her as her eyes started to glow.
"So this is how it feels like to be part of a digimon? I can feel Avengemon's power surging through me. I remember. We were once a single entity. We were the D-Reaper. Now its for our reincarnation…"
"Yes…"
Suddenly, a bright light engulfed the girl as a new fusion was beginning to take place. Bebi-Metalla X had just shot down the blast and was laughing like the maniac that he was. The bright light shot out from the crater, which momentarily distracted the Tufflesurian.
"What's happening?!"
Celesta X and MegaVeemon stopped at their tracks. They watched the girl's body became a pale transparency. Then, MegaVeemon's form reacted to Dorothy and emitted a bright aura.
"Davis!" Celesta X calls out. "What's happening?!"
"I… I don't know? But it feels good. Avengemon is giving us a final gift."
"You're correct," spoke Dorothy. "As a last resort, Avengemon has transferred his data into me. We were once the separate entities of the D-Reaper. By combining our powers, then we can become a formidable force. That is why we ask of you to lend us your body so we can complete our evolution."
"But why me?"
"Because you helped me reunite with Avengemon after the whole fiasco. You became a dear friend, especially to Avengemon. Now let us repay the favor."
"Anything… Now how about we go kick some Bebimon ass?"
(Play Digimon Zero Two theme Break Up!)
Dorothy replied with a nod and immediately her clothes were stripped away. A stream of data codes blanketed her naked form. Her body outstretched as she merged with MegaVeemon. Blue metallic arm formed around her arms and the same applies for her legs. After that, her body became embedded with silver armor equipped with glider-wings and a pair of claws extracted from each hand. His face was then covered by a facemask similar to Imperialdramon's, but a visor shielded his eyes. Attached to his right hip is a light saber.
"Whoa! Check that out!" Keke exclaimed.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing!" Max said. "MegaVeemon and Dorothy?!"
"Don't forget that Avengemon had a hand in this too," Celesta X spoke out.
"Aunt Kari! You think their power will be even enough to overcome Bebimon? I mean you could have beaten me."
"I could have, but I'm going to let them have their shot. I'll take whatever is left of that creep."
"But they can't destroy my dad's body! They have to force Bebimon out from his body!"
"Don't worry. I guarantee that that your dad's body will be just fine," the angelic warrior assured the girl.
"I just hope Takuya and Kouji find TK," Max said. "I'm sure they'll want a piece of Bebimon."
Meanwhile, Gallantmon and Pikkan looked on at the scene of events. The new form of MegaVeemon stood facing Bebi-Metalla X.
"So, what's the verdict, Pikkan?"
"You tell me. All I know is that Avengemon transferred his data into Dorothy. They were once the D-Reaper as you recall. They have reunited into one entity. So think of her the D-Reaper reborn, but fighting on our side."
"I remember."
"So they decided to submit their combined powers with MegaVeemon to digivolve into a new warrior. His power greatly surpasses MegaVeemon, but I wonder if it will give even Bebimon a run for his money."
"Let's hope that he does," Loweemon said
"We can't afford to lose this one," replied Kumamon.
"Man, I really wish I brought my camcorder!" Beetlemon said with enthusiasm.
"We're glad you didn't. Could that camcorder even keep up with them?" Kazemon said.
"Heh. Probably not…"
"It's unbelievable that Dorothy was once that terrible monster that came close to destroying the digital universe. I' glad she's on our side."
"It's on your shoulders now, Davis. Don't screw this up," Celesta X thought. "If things get ugly, then I'm stepping in."
"Aunt Kari, what should we do?"
"Not to get involved. This is their fight. If they by some chance lose ground, then I'm taking over. Got it? Don't go rushing in and try to be a hero."
"Yes, ma'm."
The newly digivolved form of MegaVeemon levitates around Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian was astonished, but he remained rather calm by his transformation. The warrior pulls out his light saber and lashes out on Bebi-Metalla X. The mutant immediately responds by flipping backwards. As soon as he landed, he stopped to find a cut across his right cheek. It trickled with a drop of blood.
"So, what do you call yourself now? Shinymon?"
"No, but you can just call me SaberVeemon. I am the combined form of MegaVeemon and Dorothy with Avengemon's data. I'm your worst nightmare come to life."
[SaberVeemon. Ultimate/Mega-Level Fusion Cyborg Digimon. Special Techniques: Saber V Blade and Solar Beam Destroyer]
"Yes. I can sense that your power has dramatically increased. You're stronger than what MegaVeemon and Avengemon were capable of individually. However, you still fail in comparison with my infinite strength. I own this Planet and I'm not going to lose on my home grounds!"
"Unfortunately, there is still enough room for an upset, Bebimon. This ends here, pal!"
"Then why don't you back up that big mouth of yours and show this great power of yours?! Bring it on, SaberVeemon! Prove me wrong!"
"Of course."
As soon as Bebi-Metalla X steps into a fighting position, SaberVeemon does the same. The crowds were clearly behind Bebimon, but Max's team put their hopes at the hands of SaberVeemon.
(End theme)
Finally, MegaVeemon has received another upgrade for his fusion form! Avengemon makes the ultimate sacrifice and sends his data into Dorothy. As a result, they've merged with MegaVeemon to become SaberVeemon. Celesta X has become free of Bebimon's control and returns to the side of good. Will SaberVeemon succeed where Omega X has failed?

SaberVeemon Goes All Out on Bebimon! Taichi's Evolution Failure!
The newly digivolved form of MegaVeemon levitates around Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian was astonished, but he remained rather calm by his transformation. The warrior pulls out his light saber and lashes out on Bebi-Metalla X. The mutant immediately responds by flipping backwards. As soon as he landed, he stopped to find a cut across his right cheek. It trickled with a drop of blood.
"So, what do you call yourself now? Shinymon?"

"Then why don't you back up that big mouth of yours and show this great power of yours! Bring it on, SaberVeemon! Prove me wrong!"
"Of course."
(Play Final Fantasy X battle theme)
As soon as their verbal spat ended, the two powers flew at each other and went for another tremendous collision course. SaberVeemon whips out his light saber and starts lashing out at the Tufflesurian. Bebi-Metalla X managed to put up some defense while throwing out numerous punches. SaberVeemon puts his light saber through a sheath and throws out his own fury of fists. The Tufflesurian counters with his arms crossed, while, at the same time, blocked out those punches. SaberVeemon saw an opening through his enemy and drills his right elbow into Bebi-Metalla X's gut.
The enemy lets out a gasped cry after the impact blow from SaberVeemon's elbow. Bebi-Metalla X attempted to phase away, but SaberVeemon snatches him around his adversary's head. He proceeded to swing Bebimon around by his hair around as if he were a yarn of thread. With one loud cry, SaberVeemon sends Bebimon hurling into the heavens.
"Incredible! Davis and Veemon are actually putting up an effort!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"They're too fast for me to even follow," Gallantmon said.
"Wow! Look at them go!" Beetlemon said. "Whoo!"
"Looks like he won't need our help," Kumamon replied. "What do you think, Kazemon?"
"I agree. Until then, we'll provide him as backup. You'll never know when that creep will do something sneaky."
"Takuya and Kouji had better hurry. They're missing out on this," Lowemon said.
"Davis. You've come a long way," Celesta X stated. "I'd never thought you'd be at my or TK's level. I'd say that it was about time."
"Yeah! That's the way, Davis!" Keke cheered. "Stay on him!"
"Wow. I never knew Avengemon and MegaVeemon would have fused together," Max thought. "They just might pull it off, you guys! Don't let your guard down, Davis! It's all yours!"
Elsewhere, Leomon had managed to pick up on SaberVeemon's ki and looks out to the heavens. His eyes widened in disbelief at the power from Davis' brand new fusion evolution. Jeri wondered what had caught Leomon's attention.
"Leomon?"
The seasoned veteran did not return a reply and remained focus on the battle at hand.
Thus far, SaberVeemon was matching speed with Bebi-Metalla X. He phases above Bebimon and lashed out his light saber. The mutant lets out a horrifying cry once the saber made contact with his chest. Bebi-Metalla X staggered back and noticed a large wound across his chest.
"Damn you! You managed to cut me across my godly chest! You'll regret that!"
"Some godly chest you have there, pal. You were just crying like a little punk. What's wrong? Don't like it when someone takes advantage of you? You hate to lose. Get over it. With Avengemon apart of me, we're going to hand you your ass."
The Tufflesurian cries out and wipes the blood from his wounded chest. Suddenly, a dark aura forms around his body. He flies out at SaverVeemon and lets loose numerous ki shots. SaberVeemon saw the blasts coming forth and deflects them with his palms. Bebi-Metalla X phases away from each direct shot.
SaberVeemon reappears above an unsuspected Bebimon and executes a spinning dropkick to his face. The Tufflesurian is sent plummeting through a nearby rock ledge.
(End theme)
"Now that's what I call an ass whooping!" Gallantmon cries out.
"Don't just stand there, Davis! He's down where you want him!" exclaimed Pikkan.
"He's going nuts! Hey, Pikkan. How long do you think Davis is going to last?" Lowemon asked.
"Well, there's one assumption to consider. Bebimon is not at his full power. He's toying with Davis at this point. Don't believe me? Look. He's not even close to losing stamina."
"Yeah I see it."
"That's why I warned Davis to finish it quickly," the Alterian replied.
"I really hope SaberVeemon is aware of this," said Beetlemon.
"If that's the case, then we really need my father. Other than my Aunt Kari and SaberVeemon, there's no one else who can give Bebimon a challenge," Max thought.
"Max. Is there something wrong?" Celesta X wondered.
"Yeah. You've been pretty much bummed out," Keke said.
"Oh, it's nothing," Max said. "Yeah, what a way to keep secrets, Max. Where is my father? I don't believe that he's dead. It's simply too unbearable to believe."
The groups continued to be witnesses to the ongoing battle. SaberVeemon looks down upon Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian rose to his feet with a smirk on his chagrin. This certainly was not turning out to be in SaberVeemon's favor. He would need more than just his light saber and superior speed to put down Bebimon at this point. The body of Metalla X has given Bebimon an edge in stamina and power.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Gosenzomon, Shintomon, and Buddamon gathered around the viewing orb to witness the showdown from Planet Plant. Tai and Agumon walked over to look through the orb. They had satisfied looks on their faces. BW wondered what had them excited.
"Hey, care to explain what's making you all happy and relieved?" BW asked.
"Yeah, you ought to see this! Agumon told me that Davis' fusion form merged together with Avengemon and Dorothy!"
"Say what? A fusion warrior merging with others?"
"Come and check it out!" Tai said with glee.
BW sits up and wiped his sleepy eyes. He observes the orb and was astonished by SaberVeemon's overwhelming presence.
"Whoa. That punk really has it in him."
"You said it! By the way, he's merged with Dorothy and Avengemon. Those two were formerly the D-Reaper," Tai informed them.
"Yeah and Bebimon hasn't even laid a hand on her!" Agumon replied.
"I agree. SaberVeemon is incredible!" Shintomon praised the newly evolved warrior.
Buddamon looked over to Gosenzomon and noticed the elder not displaying any enthusiasm. Gosenzomon was fully focused on the battle at hand.
"Gosenzomon, sir. You don't seem to be pleased. Is there something wrong?" Buddamon asked.
The elder merely nodded his head and pointed over towards the viewing orb with disdain.
"You see? Take a look closely."
The group took another glance through the orb and noticed a smirk on Bebi-Metalla X's chagrin. They had realized that the villain was not taking SaberVeemon seriously.
"That bastard! He's toying with her!" Tai cursed. "You guys! We have to get back there and take action!"
"Otherwise, Bebimon is going to end up killing our friends, including Max!" Agumon pleaded.
"Yes. It's a wise decision," replied Gosenzomon. "You shouldn't have wasted your time here."
"You'd better hurry, Taichi. Don't forget to put the gift to good use. I'm sure Lady Moinanea gave it to you for a good reason," Shintomon stated.
"Let's hope that this new source works to your benefit," said Buddamon.
"Hold on, Taichi!" BW calls out.
BW came walking up to Tai and Agumon. Before he did anything, Tai smirked and puts out his right hand. The former Black War Greymon returned a smile and shakes Tai's hand.
"Thank you for providing me a good fight, Agumon," BW said. "Taichi. This doesn't mean that everything has been settled. We'll meet again."
"Heh, you can count on it," Tai said. "Ready to go, Agumon?"
"You bet I am!"
With that said, Tai reaches out for his digivice and calls forth for his fusion evolution power. Tai and Agumon were then merged together with a bright light engulfing them. Now a figure warrior stood in their place. Omega X powers down and takes the gift bestowed to him by Lady Moinanea.
"Thanks again, Shintomon. Buddamon. Gosenzomon. You were all a big help. BW, you keep up with training and I guarantee you a fight you'll never forget. Bebimon! It's payback time for you!'
Omega X puts two fingers on his forehead to perform his Time Force teleportation technique to vanish from the holy region. He proceeded to teleport to the Tufflesurian planet.
"Good luck, my friend," Buddamon said.
"Elder. I just hope that Lady Moinanea's gift will work to Taichi's advantage," Shintomon said. "For our sakes…"
"All we can do for now is hope, young one. Otherwise, Bebimon will ruthlessly destroy his allies," Gosenzomon said. "However, I trust in Taichi's judgment. He's certainly not too bright, but his heart allows him to triumph over many odds."
BW nods in agreement and immediately finds the masked man, X. The two faced each other until BW smiles.
"It's time. Now, we'll see if Tai is capable of handling the sacred beast of courage."
"Yes. Now, it's up to you to control the spirit, Tai," X said. "I'm proud to have you possess the sacred spirit. Make us all proud."
Planet Plant
Bebi-Metalla X flies back up into the heavens to face off with SaberVeemon once again. The group was astonished by the Tufflesurian's quick recovery.
SaberVeemon stood his ground and was prepared to lash out against Bebi-Metalla X once again. However, the Tufflesurian saw his attack and immediately phases out. The last thing SaberVeemon realized was that his stomach was in pain. This was the result of a sucker punch from Bebi-Metalla X. He cried out and was momentarily distracted by the pain. This allowed Bebi-Metalla X to take advantage. The Tufflesurian took advantage of his downed adversary and executes an elbow smash across SaberVeemon's back. SaberVeemon was sent plummeting down towards the crater where Bebimon once laid.
"No! I thought he had it under control!" Keke exclaimed.
"No kidding! How was he able to make a sudden comeback!" Max wondered. "Aunt Kari? What's up?"
"He was toying with Davis. I should have known that Bebimon would pull a dirty trick with Davis," Celesta X replied.
"Are you sure?" Max asked.
"Yeah. SaberVeemon only had a slight advantage because Bebimon was testing out his new power."
"You hear that, Takato?" Pikkan asked.
"You bet. That cheating scum!"
"c'mon, dad! If only you were here with us now," Max said in prayer. "We need you back."
Elsewhere on the planet
Omega X had finally arrived at the planet's middle coordinates. He felt the presence of Bebimon's growing ki and follows it. He boosted his speed, which allowed him to cover more ground. In turn, it would enable him to find his friends quickly.
"I can sense a strong ki coming from a far distance. That has to be Bebimon! It looks like the others aren't having any luck. Max, just hang in there, son. Once I arrive there, I'll show that asshole never to turn your back on a Kamiya. After all, I did increase my strength with Gosenzomon's training. I really do hope that it pays off."
Just then, Omega X felt a decreasing power along the way. He finally figured out that SaberVeemon was losing ground to Bebi-Metalla X almost instantly.
"No! Davis, Veemon and Dorothy aren't going to last much longer at this point! SaberVeemon definitely gave it his all, but it wasn't enough. He's not so used to controlling his power and is being blinded by his own arrogance. He shouldn't be flaunting it. But, how is this Bebimon able to gain power within a short amount of time? He did possess Matt's body and that benefits to his advantage. On the other hand, I do have a few other tricks up my sleeve. Like this sacred spirit that Lady Moinanea bestowed to me."
Forward to Flashback
"So this is one of those spirits?" asked Tai.
"Yes, but as you can see it has the symbol of courage on it. It was created for the warrior of courage to use. So says Lady Moinanea."
Tai takes a good examination of the artifact and smiles.
"So, I was supposed to have found this when I met Takuya and his friends? Well that just bites. What is it supposed to do?"
"Legends say that the warrior of courage will be given the power to ascend to the highest level of digital fusion. Something to which has never been seen. So, looks like you'll be the first to uncover this legend. If the prophecy is true, then you, as Omega X, should be able to reach a new digital level."
This only brought a smile across Tai's face as he held the item. It looked like a dragon-like beast with fiery wings and a metal-plated head. The symbol of courage was burning over its chest.
"Tai? So what do you think? Would you expect it? You should thank Lady Moinanea. She's honored to have met you, Taichi," Shintomon said.
"I'll take it."
End of flashback
"Don't worry, Shintomon. Lady Moinanea. I won't let this new power go to waste. I'll do whatever it takes to defeat this bastard and save my friends from danger. There's no time to waste! Here I come!"
The hero flew across the landscapes like a man on a mission. His desire to save his comrades has driven him to become an even stronger and more focused warrior. However, Bebi-Metalla X was not going to be an easy opponent to overcome. This was Omega X's last chance to extract some vengeance. In the end, it was all or nothing for Taichi.
Back to the battlegrounds of Planet Plant
Back at the battle site, SaberVeemon was already on the receiving end of an ass whooping delivered by Bebi-Metalla X. The mutant went all out on his opponent and displayed no signs of remorse for the pain he has given to SaberVeemon. The Tufflesurian grabbed SaberVeemon and slams him down through the earthen ground. SaberVeemon was left a battered heap while Bebi-Metalla X levitates over his fallen victim.
"SaberVeemon! C'mon, get up!" Kazemon calls out.
"You can't let him win!" Keke exclaimed.
"Pikkan! I can't stand around like this! We have to go help Davis and Dorothy!" Gallantmon demanded.
"Not yet. Not unless SaberVeemon really needs us. At this point, he just might make a comeback. I hope," Pikkan said.
"I'll have to agree with Takato on this one. He desperately needs our assistance," said Lowemon.
"We can't sit on the sidelines," Beetlemon spat out. "Sorry, but that's not our style."
"I'll admit that I don't stand a chance at this point," Pikkan replied. "But this is the only way for SaberVeemon to make a comeback. Besides, he's too stubborn to even consider our assistance."
"You hear that, Max? What you need to do is look after Keke," Celesta X said. "Pikkan! Gallantmon! You stay on the sidelines with the others. I'll do whatever I can to momentarily to distract this bastard."
"Ok, then. Just call us when you need help," said Gallantmon.
"We'll be here," Pikkan stated.
(Play Digimon Zero Two theme Target Akai Shougeki)
Celesta X powered up with a bright aura brightening her form. She upgraded herself into her Mystic Celesta form. She flies out into the battle as Bebi-Metalla X prepares to fire away a barrage of ki blasts. Bebi-Metalla X turns to face his former mind slave with a sadistic grin.
"Let's go, Bebimon! You controlled me once before. You're not going to do it again. I promise you that."
"Huh? You're serious about going through with this. You are definitely one of a kind, Hikari. Unlike these pathetic excuses of warriors, you seem to understand the true depth of my strength. Judging by your ki, you are definitely one of earth's finest warriors. Now prove your worth to me!"
"My pleasure."
As soon as she said that, Mystic Celesta immediately appears in front of Bebimon. The Tufflesurian was surprised by Mystic Celesta's superior speed. Mystic Celesta delivers a strong right hand and follows it up with another. She then thrusts her fists into Bebi-Metalla X's gut. The holy warrior raises her fists and delivers a clubbing blow to the back of Bebimon's head. Mystic Celesta soars over her adversary. Just as she was about to strike again, Bebi-Metalla X immediately phases out.
"Get back here!"
Mystic Celesta flies up to find Bebi-Metalla X with an arrogant smirk on his face. The angelic warrior's fists were coated with auras of light and thus deliver a devastating blow into Bebimon's chest. She cupped her hands together, chants to herself and unleashes an enormous energy wave.
"HOLY BEAM!"
Mystic Celesta sets her attack on Bebi-Metalla X and sets her target on him solely. However, Bebimon saw it coming and barely manages to phase away. Mystic Celesta looks up to find her opponent and unleashes a barrage of ki blasts. Bebi-Metalla X managed to dodge each of those blasts. She flies out at Bebi-Metalla X and throws out numerous swift kicks. The Tufflesurian struggled to dodge from each kick. He caught her left leg and delivers a head butt to her forehead. Mystic Celesta tilts back after the tremendous blow as a result of the head butt. Bebi-Metalla X phases over Mystic Celesta and delivers an elbow smash to the back of her neck.
"You just had me a while ago, Hikari! What's the matter? Don't tell I'm already overwhelming you! Ha, it seems you're still worn out after you fought your own friends."
The angelic warrior's eyes shot wide open and she tosses an energy ball at Bebi-Metalla X. The energy ball nails Bebi-Metalla X directly in the face and renders him blind temporarily. This gave Mystic Celesta a chance to recover from the mutant's offensive attack. She cupped her hands together and chants out her technique.
"HOLY BEAM!"
Mystic Celesta sends out her patented technique and directs it towards Bebimon for a second time. This time, the blast had hit its mark and sends the Tufflesurian soaring into the heavens. The energy blast explodes on impact with Bebimon. A smoke cloud now covered the villain within a moment. Everyone looks on desperately and prayed for hope. However, their hopes were destroyed, as the smoke cloud dispersed. Bebi-Metalla X was still levitating, but with damage to show for it.
(End theme)
"No! He's still alive!" Max cried out. "He's invincible!"
"No, wait. Look! He's been damaged!" Keke points out. "He might be still alive, but Kari is only looking to drive Bebimon out of my father's body."
"Ah, man! She almost had him!" Beetlemon said.
"If she couldn't take him down, then what can we do?" Kumamon wondered. "Screw our beast forms. He'll overcome us."
"No! Don't lose hope you guys! Wait until Kouji, Takuya and Beelzebumon get back here. Then, the tables will turn!" Kazemon reassured her friends.
Bebi-Metalla X simply cackled and levitated back towards the ground with Mystic Celesta following him.
Just then, Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon and Beelzebumon returned to the battlefield. They were unable to retrieve War Angemon and the twins.
"Hey, what took you three!" Beetlemon wondered.
"Hey, we found them!" Kaiser Greymon announced. "But they're incapitated at the moment. Bebimon really knocked them out."
"That's good that you found them," Gallantmon said. "But we're in deep trouble. SaberVeemon and Mystic Celesta are barely managing to damage this freak."
"You've got to be kidding me!" Beelzebumon exclaimed. "Just let me at him!"
"Hold it right there, big guy," Magna Garurumon said. "Let's wait this through. It's not a good idea to rush in without strategy."
"Ugh, I hate using strategies. Beelzebumon don't play like that!"
Gallantmon levitates down to where Beelzebumon stood and walks past him with determination. The winged demon questioned the exalted knight's motives.
"What is it, pineapple head?"
"Kari isn't going to last much longer. She's simply tired out after fighting with us," said Gallantmon.
"This means we'll have to step in," Kaiser Greymon replied. "Ready, Magna Garurumon?"
"I'm right behind you, Takuya!"
However, Mystic Celesta stops in front of the four and turns back to face Bebi-Metalla X.
"You guys stay back. Even if you four ganged up on him, he'll still overwhelm you."
"No! Remember, I can upgrade myself into Crimson Mode. I still have Grani's power within me," Gallantmon assured the warrior.
"Now long do you think you can maintain the form? Crimson Mode was equal to Omega X's third level form. He didn't even stand a chance with Bebimon. You know. I know. We were both there to witness it. Crimson Mode will make no difference."
"Then, there's no use standing around. I'm going for it!"
"No! Takato! What are you doing!" Mystic Celesta X calls out.
"That idiot is going to get himself killed!" said Pikkan. "Where the hell is SaberVeemon? We definitely need him."
"What's he doing? Does Takato actually think he stands a chance against Bebimon?" Lowemon wondered.
"He's a fool," Kazemon said. "Tai couldn't even beat that freak."
Back on the battlefield, Gallantmon quickly ascends into his Crimson Mode form. The crimson knight wielded his Invisible Swords. Bebi-Metalla X immediately saw the evolved warrior flying with full speed. As soon as Gallantmon swung his swords, the mutant leaps over. He was caught by surprise to Bebimon's superior speed.
"No way! He's even faster than me in our Crimson Mode form! We were able to nearly match D-Reaper in this form!"
Bebi-Metalla X quickly forms a black energy ball and expands its size. The crimson knight turns and was unprepared for what was about to happen to him next.
"Never take your eyes off of me, you fool!" Bebimon cackled. "Even with your immediate power up, you're power level is the same as Taichi's. In other words, you don't stand a chance! Now eat this!"
The Tufflesurian fired the massive energy ball towards Gallantmon. He tries to hold it back with his swords but failed to stop it. He took the dark ball head on and was sent flying backwards. Gallantmon cries out as his armored body was shattered by the energy ball's force. The exalted knight quickly dedigivolves into two separate entities: Takato and Guilmon. The groups were caught in complete shock at the turn of events. Pikkan flies out to catch both of them.
"Ah! No! He defeated Crimson Mode!" Keke cries out.
"SO, this Crimson Mode was supposed to be strong as Tai's Omega X form?" Kaiser Greymon asked. "If he couldn't even last seconds with this freak, then what kind of a chance do we have!"
"No chance in hell, retched human," Bebimon retorted. "I've beaten your best warriors! You all didn't live up to my expectations. I'm growing tired of this. I'll kill you one by one slowly."
"Damn! Now what!" Magna Garurumon wondered.
"I'll take over from here!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed. "Bebimon! You're fight is with me!"
Pikkan flies down to where his comrades awaited him. He laid an unconscious Takato and Guilmon.
"Don't worry. They'll be all right," Pikkan said. "They've exhausted a lot of their power from their Crimson Mode form."
"But, what about Grani's power? Did it suddenly go to waste!" Max asked. "He was supposed to have a near infinite power."
"Well, he hasn't used Crimson Mode since the war with the D-Reaper," the Alterian replied. "So, it's possible that Grani's power weakened over the years. I can't explain, since the Monster Makers created Grani."
"Well, that sucks!" Kaiser Greymon said. "Heads up, guys!"
"Kari! Get away from there!" Max cried out. "He's going for his Death Ball!"
Bebi-Metalla X grinned and lifted a hand palm over his head. Within a few seconds, a large, black massive sphere materialized and grew at a tremendous rate. Mystic Celesta powers up and flies up to stop the cackling villain.
"No! With that large amount of energy in that ball, he'll kill all of us in one full swoop!" max exclaimed.
"That's too much. Even for me," Beelzebumon said. "Damn! You just had to go and be a hero, pineapple head!"
"What kind of a nut are you! You'll destroy your own planet with that enormous amount of energy!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"You're the fools. Since I can manipulate my own ki, this death ball will only be enough to kill you pests off. I will see to it that my own planet remains unscathed at the same time! Now prepare to die, worms!"
"Aw, hell no! Not if I can help it!" Beelzebumon exclaimed. "Kari! You better move aside! This punk is mine!"
The winged demon drew out his positron gun and fires away energy shots at the cackling villain. Each shot were ineffective and became absorbed into the Death Ball. Beelzebumon's shots were only feeding the sphere more power. Soon, everyone fired their attacks with little effort, but their efforts were in vain. Bebi-Metalla X's death ball was growing with tremendous power.
"You guys! Stop firing any more blasts! You're only feeding his Death Ball more energy!" Mystic Celesta warned her comrades.
"You're friend is correct, worms! Try all your might! In the end, you will all be dead anyway. This is the end of the road for you! Ha! Ha! With Taichi gone, I have no equal!"
"Yo! You wanna to try saying that to my face!" a familiar voice calls out.
"Huh! Am I hearing things! Where did that voice come from!"
"Over here, asshole!"
The Tufflesurian turned around as he was met with a fist to the face. The mysterious warrior turned out to be Omega X. He came flying out of nowhere and sent Bebi-Metalla X plummeting down towards the earth ground. Omega X finds the Death Ball and immediately caught it. He summoned all of his strength to hurl the Death Ball into the heavens and through the atmosphere. As soon as it escaped into space, the Death Ball exploded and a force of light dispersed across the heavens. Omega X smirked and flew down to where the Tufflesurian leader was left laying.
Mystic Celesta gasped with happiness and flew down to greet her brother. Max jumped for joy as he laid his eyes upon Omega X. The others were just as relieved to find the warrior alive and well. All rumors of his death had now become nothing more than inaccurate information.
"Tai!" Mystic Celesta X cries out. "You're alive!"
"Hey, Kari. I'm sorry for worrying all of you."
"Dad! You're alive! I'm so glad to see you again!"
"Tai! I thought you were gone from this world," Pikkan said. "You sure do have a knack of pulling through death's doors."
The warrior of courage turned towards Pikkan and gave him a nod. He smiles over to Max and put a hand on his left shoulder.
"Thanks for leading the team, son. I'm proud of you."
"You had me scared there! But I knew you'd come back!"
"Ha! I'm glad someone believed that I would escape death."
Suddenly, the warrior felt a dark ki and turned to face Bebi-Metalla X. The villain rose to his feet and had a shocked look on his chagrin.
"What! How could you have survived! You should have died! You must be a damned ghost!"
"Could a ghost have done what he just did a moment ago? You've been spouting out a lot of crap lately since my alleged 'death'. Quite frankly. I'm sick of it."
"Heh, you're a funny guy, Taichi. But I'm not in the mood for your jokes."
"Good. How about a little rematch? Just you and me. We can pick off where we last left off."
"Ha! So, you're ready to get beaten again! Ok! That makes it twice as good! I'll make sure to send you to hell for good. I guarantee that you will die right in front of your own son's eyes."
"If I die, then I'll die with honor. Honor is a trait, which is foreign to your kind. Now let's get this over with."
"Have it your way, Taichi. I shall grant you that honorable death!"
The two warriors faced each other and stepped into immediate fighting stances. Almost suddenly, the warriors phased out from everyone's very own eyes.
"Go get that punk, dad! I know you can defeat him!"
"But… I thought your dad died!" Kaiser Greymon said. "I don't get it."
"No way. The likes of that creep will never kill my dad. Ok, I admit it. I thought he had died in the first place. But I always remember what my parents tell me. 'A Kamiya never quits or dies easily.' Since then, I've believed every single word they said. I won't lose hope now, or ever."
Keke smiles as she once again showed support for the warrior. Mystic Celesta stood by next to Max and put a hand on his left shoulder.
"Aunt Kari?"
"Believe in your father, Max. He's an incredible guy. He helped get me where I am."
Just then, there was a sudden movement from underneath a pile of rubble. Everyone turned to find the source. To their shock, SaberVeemon emerged.
"SaberVeemon! You're all right!" Kazemon calls out.
"Whew! Thank goodness you're still with us!" Mystic Celesta said.
"Hey, it's Tai! He's back!" SaberVeemon spouted out. "I thought he'd never make it."
"Yeah and he's going to take it to Bebimon!" Max said.
"Looks like we won't be needed," Magna Garurumon replied.
"For now at least," SaberVeemon muttered. "Watch your back, Tai. He's a dangerous and a sneaky bastard."

Bebi-Metalla X and Omega X managed to attack each other with tremendous force from their fists. Each time a single fist was met, a tremendous force erupted and caused the surroundings to crumble. Every rock ledge crumbled at the very battle, which was taking place. Omega X had become much more powerful since his last encounter with the Tufflesurian. However, Bebi-Metalla X was not going to let the warrior's new strength frighten him. He was intrigued by his power increase.
Bebi-Metalla X delivers a barrage of punches, which Omega X was able to dodge. Omega X was still struggling against the Tufflesurian's relentless attacks. Bebi-Metalla X manages to deliver a punch to Omega X's face. Omega X was sent flying backwards as Bebi-Metalla X swooped down in pursuit. Omega X revives his thoughts and quickly delivers a flying head butt to Bebi-Metalla X's gut. The Tufflesurian cried out as Omega X punched him in the face. Bebi-Metalla X flew backwards but managed to stop himself. He puts his hand over his the top of his head and hurls a large ki ball at Omega X. The warrior phases away as the ball crashes through a rocky ledge. Bebi-Metalla X twirls another and watches it ram into the ground below.
The surrounding smoke momentarily distracted Omega X and his concentration had dropped. Bebi-Metalla X took advantage of his distracted foe and executed an elbow smash to the back of the warrior's head. Omega X quickly regains his momentum and turns to face his enemy.
"All right! That's it! Here we go! Upgrade to level three!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X quickly transformed into his third-level form and flew at the Tufflesurian. Bebi-Metalla X puts out his palms and shoots out numerous ki blasts. Omega X quickly phases away from the blasts and appears in front of Bebi-Metalla X. Omega X goes to deliver numerous punches to Bebi-Metalla X's gut. The Tufflesurian was sent reeling back as Omega X was gaining momentum. Everyone looked on with surprise at the sudden power increase generating from Omega X.
"My dad is taking it to him! Go for it, dad! Finish him!" Max cried out.
"Tai. I can't believe he's really giving it to him. After everything we've tried, he's taking it to him. But I wonder if it will be enough?" Pikkan said.
"Lets just pray and hope to god that he pulls through. He's going to have to do something drastic to put down Bebi-Metalla X," replied Mystic Celesta.
"C'mon, dad! You can do it! You can't lose again! You're a Kamiya! A Kamiya never quits!"
Omega X delivers a devastating uppercut to Bebi-Metalla X but the Tufflesurian comes back with a fist to the warrior's gut. Omega X cried out but managed to hold the threshold back. He had to defeat Bebi-Metalla X to save his friends and family. This was his only chance. Bebi-Metalla X hammers away at Omega X with devastating fists to the warrior's chest.
"I don't get it! I'm supposed to be stronger through that crappy training Gosenzomon put me through! Bebimon is still taking me to school!"
Bebi-Metalla X relentlessly bashes his fists against the hero's face and nails him with another right hand. Omega X goes flying backwards as Bebi-Metalla X appears in front of him. The Tufflsurian wrenches back and drills a fist to Omega X's chest. The warrior coughed out blood from his mouth as Bebi-Metalla X kneed him in the face.
"He's not going to be able to defeat him!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed. "We've got to at least lend him a hand!"
"Dad! Hang in there! Please don't lose! You're the greatest warrior of the digital world! Nobody can beat you! Not even this creep!"
"Max. I think you should realize that your dad's power isn't even relatively close to Bebimon's," Keke said. "We should get your dad out of there and come up with a strategy."
"I'm sorry, Kek. I'm not going to leave. I must stay to support my father. I'll abandon him."
"But, Max…"
"You guys can get away from here, but my loyalty remains with my father."
Bebi-Metalla X cries out as he drills another fist to Omega X's face. The warrior was starting to reel against the Tufflesurian's relentless attacks.
"And here's one for the money!" Bebi-Metalla X cackled.
The villain delivers an overhead smash across the hero's back, which sent him crashing through the earth below. Bebi-Metalla X smirked as Omega X was sprawled out with tons of debris over him. Omega X phased out from his third-level form and was left helpless.
(End Du Haust theme)
"Dad! You can't lose! I can't stand to see you like this!"
SaberVeemon rose to his feet as he clenched his fists angrily. Bebi-Metalla X levitated down over the fallen Omega X to deliver a devastating blow.
"So, ready to meet your maker? As I promised, I'm going to make sure you stay dead."
Omega X simply smirked as his eyes fell glazed over. The villain points a finger over directly at the warrior's chest. The others were prepared to make their move to stop the Tufflesurian.
"Go on and kill me. But remember that you'll realize that you've killed off your only form of competition. There is nobody else strong enough to stop you."
"Blah. Blah. Cut the hero crap. I say you die and no more damn insects to stand in my way!"
"Dad! No!"
"Goodbye!"
Suddenly, a figure quickly grasped herself around Bebimon like a constrictor. The Tufflesurian was shocked as SaberVeemon wrapped his arms around him in a tight grasp.
"What! It's you! Unhand me!"
"Sorry, but I'm not going to let you kill off my best friend! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to fend you off in the first place! Dorothy told me that she wouldn't stand to see her own sensei die!"
"That's the way, SaberVeemon!" Max exclaimed. "You take care of business! We'll go and get my dad out of there!"
"Let's go, Max!" Keke said as she ran off.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"Keke! Max! Get back here!" Mystic Celesta calls out to the children.
As everyone looked on, Mystic Celesta chased off after the children. Takato and Guilmon woke up from their sudden unconsciousness.
"Did somebody get the number on that bus?" Guilmon asked.
"Huh? What just happened? I remembered that Bebimon jerk blasted us away. Ah! We're back to normal?"
"Bebimon was able to defeat you while in your Crimson Mode form," Pikkan explained. "Omega X is back and he's down. Thank goodness for SaberVeemon. He's holding him off while we get Tai out of there."
"That's a relief!" the goggle head said.
"No kidding!" Guilmon responded.
Max and Keke ran over towards Omega X's side, while SaberVeemon held the villain in his grasp. Bebi-Metalla X struggled to break free from the warrior's grasp.
"Now I'm going to self destruct and take this asshole with me!"
"Davis! Dorothy! You guys can't! Don't you go throwing your own lives for our sakes!" Max cried out.
"Yeah! You've got a long life ahead of you!" said Keke. "Please reconsider!"
"I'm afraid that this is the only way of making sure Bebimon never comes back to haunt us again."
"But you'll take my father's body away at the same time!" Keke said. "Bebimon possessed my father's body!"
SaberVeemon gasped as he finally realized that he would be taking away Matt's life away. The fused warrior released his grasp, which brought a smile on Bebi-Metalla X's face. He places his palm across his chest and powers up a ki blast.
"You should have killed me when you had the chance! Oh well, just another waste to send to the junkyard."
With that said, the villain fires a blast at SaberVeemon and sends his flying backwards. He goes slamming through several rock ledges. Max and Keke looked on with shock. Omega X growled angrily. As soon as Mystic Celesta arrived, she grabbed the children and gasped in shock.
"Davis! Dorothy! No!" Mystic Celesta screamed in agony.
"Well now that piece of garbage is out of the way, who wants to join her?"
Omega X gazed over at the fallen rock debris and saw SaberVeemon battered. He had nearly died from that blast. It was a miracle for him to have survived. However, this did not suite well for Omega X. The hero growled as his body started to tremble.
(Play Demon Inuyasha OST theme)
"No! He nearly killed my student, Dorothy! He nearly killed my bud, Davis ! He took Matt's body. He took my wife and turned her into a mindless slave. He's turned nearly everyone we know into drones! I won't stand for this! I don't care how much you despise humans, but I will not stand for this! I'm going to tear you up, you bastard."
Suddenly, Max felt a rising power coming from his father. His eyes widened as a bright glow came across Omega X. The warrior pulls out the spirit, which Shintomon had given him.
"Dad! What is that! Wait! That looks like one of those spirits that Takuya and his friends used!"
"Spirit! Did he just say spirit!" Magna Garurumon asked.
"Tai has a spirit!" Kaiser Greymon cried out.
"Impossible! How did he obtain one!" Kumamon replied.
"Oh, it sure looks like a spirit," stated Kazemon. "There's no doubt about it."
"Whoa! How did he get that?" Keke asked. "Was he hiding that from us this whole time? Maybe your dad will pull through after all!"
"Do it, dad!"
"Max! Keke! Get the hell away from here!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
The angelic warrior runs out to snatch the children away from the area. Max struggles to break free and calls out to his father.
"I'm going to kick the crap out of this bastard!" Omega X hissed with venom in his voice. "He doesn't deserve to breathe another inch of oxygen! He's going to die…"
Max was quickly taken back as his father's voice deepened into a beast-like tone. A bright glow consumed the warrior as Mystic Celesta carried the children off.
"Max! Don't let go! Your father… He's… He's lost control."
"But how? Why?"
Omega X turned around and faced Max with intensity. Max was surprised by the look on his father's face. He knew that something had snapped within his father, but he didn't realize that his father would go completely insane.
"Max!"
Max cried out to his father as his voice echoed throughout the heavens. Celesta X held the children tightly around her grasp.
"Tai? What is happening to you!"
"What's going on? Why is that I feel Tai's power increasing?" Pikkan asked.
"Looks like my dad has a ace up his sleeve. I never would have doubted him," Max said. "But why did your voice change? Something about this doesn't seem right. Or is it just me?"
The aura grew massive as Omega X's size was increasing. His muscles bulged as the spirit quickly began to overcome him.
"What is this! Your power is growing faster than ever!" Bebi-Metalla X said. "Why didn't I see this coming? Is there any damn limits to this?"
Omega X screams as energy spirals started engulfing him. His eyes started to glow crimson and his teeth became beast-like.
"Execute! Courage Spirit Evolution!"
Omega X's armor shattered as he grew into a Tyrannosaurus-sized reptilian monster. His eyes were neon and his teeth were sharper than that of a kitchen machete. His clawed talons were long enough to reach out for anything that came his way. His skin was red with black stripes. His tail was not only prehensile but very powerful looking. Gone was his happy and laid back nature. Tai had become a walking killing machine with no soul.
"Tai!" Mystic Celesta cried out with anguish.
"Max! I can't believe what I'm seeing! That's screwed up!" Keke cried out.
"Dad? So this is what the spirit does for you? You shouldn't have used it! This is so wrong!"
"Something is terribly wrong. It's as if this wasn't supposed to happen," said Pikkan.
"I agree. This happened to me when I used the beast spirit to become Burning Greymon," Kaiser Greymon said.
"Only this is worse. There's a good chance he'll attack us at first sight!" Kazemon exclaimed.
"This has happened before when I tried to make Guilmon digivolve!" Takato cried out.
"Yeah. I'll never want to do that again," the crimson digimon said.
As soon as Mystic Celesta landed near the group, the children jumped off. Max had listened to Takato's reminder of Guilmon's evolution failure and rushes up towards him.
"Wait! My dad told me about that incident," said Max. "So you forced Guilmon to digivolve?"
"That's right. We wanted to kill Beelzebumon," said the goggle head.
"Hey. Don't remind me. I had to get that gooey crap off my face!"
"So. My dad forced this upon himself?"
"Your father was thinking clearly and now he has lost control of the spirit power," Mystic Celesta said. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, Max."
Max looked across as Omega X roared like a hellish demon. Bebi-Metalla X looked on with a shocked look across his face. He had never seen anything so frightening than this new evolution.
(End theme)
"An evolution failure? My father? No, this just can't be…"
What a horrible turn of events. After witnessing SaberVeemon's near death experience, Tai has forced the power of the spirit upon him and he now pays the price. But can even Tai realize whom he is fighting for and what his true motives are? Can Max talk sense into his father before the monster goes on a wave of destruction?

Pikkan: Bebimon has to be stopped. We cannot let his crimes go unpunished. He's rallying his slaves together. There has to be a way to revive every brainwashed civilian.
Takato: Here, Max. Maybe we can help your father. He has to realize whom he is fighting for. He has to remember who he is. This is our last shot in defeating Bebimon once and for all.
Sakuyamon: You'll have to go through me first, Takato.
Takato: Rika! You're under Bebimon's control, but we don't have time for this!

Bebimon: C'mon, legendary warriors! Maybe you can provide me some entertainment until Taichi learns to calm himself.
Magna Garurumon: Don't you ever underestimate the unity of the legendary warriors!
Leomon: You also deal with me, Cyber Leomon!
Mystic Celesta: Big brother! Please, you have to overcome this anger! You don't let anything get to you!

Taichi's False Evolution!
Omega X screams as energy spirals started engulfing him. His eyes started to glow crimson and his teeth became beast-like.
(Play Demon Inuyasha OST theme)
"Execute! Courage Spirit Evolution!"
Omega X's armor shattered as he grew into a Tyrannosaurus-sized reptilian monster. His eyes were neon and his teeth were sharper than that of a kitchen machete. His clawed talons were long enough to reach out for anything that came his way. His skin was red with black stripes. His tail was not only prehensile but very powerful looking. Gone was his happy and laid back nature. Tai had become a walking killing machine with no soul.
"Tai!" Mystic Celesta cried out with anguish.
"Max! I can't believe what I'm seeing! That's screwed up!" Keke cried out.
"Dad? So this is what the spirit does for you? You shouldn't have used it! This is so wrong!"
"Something is terribly wrong. It's as if this wasn't supposed to happen," said Pikkan.
"I agree. This happened to me when I used the beast spirit to become Burning Greymon," Kaiser Greymon said.
"Only this is worse. There's a good chance he'll attack us at first sight!" Kazemon exclaimed.
"This has happened before when I tried to make Guilmon digivolve!" Takato cried out.
"Yeah. I'll never want to do that again," the crimson digimon said.
As soon as Mystic Celesta landed near the group, the children jumped off. Max had listened to Takato's reminder of Guilmon's evolution failure and rushes up towards him.
"Wait! My dad told me about that incident," said Max. "So you forced Guilmon to digivolve?"
"That's right. We wanted to kill Beelzebumon," said the goggle head.
"Hey. Don't remind me. I had to get that gooey crap off my face!"
"So. My dad forced this upon himself?"
"Your father was thinking clearly and now he has lost control of the spirit power," Mystic Celesta said. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, Max."
Max looked across as Omega X roared like a hellish demon. Bebi-Metalla X looked on with a shocked look across his face. He had never seen anything so frightening than this new evolution.
"An evolution failure? My father? No, this just can't be…"
Bebi-Metalla X looks across at the transformed beast and flew back. He had never gazed upon such a terrifying monster with an enormous ki as Omega X was emitting. He kneeled against a rock wall and panted after a long-winded fight with the three warriors.
"What is this all of a sudden? How did this happen?"
Just then, Bebi-Metalla X looked back and remembered Omega X using a spirit. The Tufflesurian was very familiar with stories being told of humans using 'spirit' artifacts to enable them to evolve into digimon.
"So, that's it! He used a spirit to enable him to evolve into a more formidable force. Unfortunately, this fool can't control it. This gives me an open opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Suddenly, the Omega X beast turned over towards Bebi-Metalla X's direction. His demonic eyes enflamed with a red, crimson aura. It was enough to send chills down the Tufflesurian's spine. Bebimon leaps backwards and steered clear of the terrifying beast.
Everyone else looked on with disbelief over the horrible situation at hand. The greatest hero's evolution has now become an ultimate failure. Lady Moinanea's hopes were shattered. Most importantly, Max has lost a father to a hellish demon.
"So this is your ultimate evolution?!" the Tufflesurian taunted the beast. "Too for you! You can't even control this power, Taichi! How anti-climatic!"
Omega X deeply roared and charged angrily towards Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian immediately steps into a battle stance and prepares to go head-to-head with the demon. However, much to his chagrin, Omega X quickly phases out. The mutant was caught by surprise and turns around to sense out Omega X's immense ki. Omega X hovers over the mutant despite his enormous size and his mouth widens. The beast demon shoots out numerous blasts through his mouth and targeted for the villain. Bebi-Metalla X barely managed to dodge each of the blasts.
"Hey! What are you aiming at?! Are you trying to kill us all?!"
The Omega X beast failed to respond to Bebi-Metalla X's words. Instead, he responds by forming several ki blasts and hurled them at Bebimon. The villain pushed his arms out and cuts off each enormous ki blast. Despite his efforts, the blasts were becoming too overwhelming for Bebi-Metalla X.
Max steps out into the open and calls out to his 'father'. Mystic Celesta flies out and snatches Max away immediately.
"Dad! You have to stop this!" Max cried out. "You've lost control! I understand that this has happened to you before! You couldn't control Skull Greymon! You even told me about that incident!"
"Max! We have to get away from here!" Mystic Celesta said. "I can't let you go near Tai at the moment!"
"But, he's my dad, Aunt Kari!"
"I know that, but he's not himself. We'll have to find a way to make him remember us. That way we can restore him to normal."
"Father! You can't go on like this! The amount of energy you're releasing might destroy the planet! Mom and everyone else is on the planet, dad! Stop it!"
"Whoa! Is the kid over exaggerating?!" Kaiser Greymon asked.
"Surely, Tai couldn't destroy the planet at this state?" Kazemon wondered.
"It's true," Takato said. "Right, Guilmon?"
"Yeah. I can tell you from experience. I nearly destroyed the Digital World when I digivolved to Megidramon."
"Tai will destroy more than just this planet," Pikkan replied. "His power alone could severely damage this entire dimension. Time and space itself could rift. Earth and Planet Plant will surely be gone if he keeps this up."
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to just sit on my ass," Beelzebumon said. "I'm taking him down! I will not let him destroy Earth, because Ai and Mako will become causalities."
"I'm afraid there's nothing any of you guys can do to stop him," Mystic Celesta said. "But I think I can stop him."
"What makes you think so?!" Magna Garurumon asked.
"I know. I'm strongest after Tai."
"Look, who cares who's strong enough to take Tai in a head on fight!" Keke retorted. "What's more important is restoring Max's father to normal! It's not right for you guys to sit there and give up! If Max is willing to save his father, then I'm standing with him!"
"Do you even know what you're talking about?!" Loweemon said. "You'll simply send yourselves to your own graves if you stop him!"
"No! You need to realize this! I'm sorry, but I love Max too much to see him cry. Do what you can to stop me, but it won't matter. I'm going out there to help Max to restoring his father to normal!"
With that said, Keke flies off and takes Max along with her. Mystic Celesta responds to this and takes off after the children.
"Max! Keke! You get back here!" Pikkan screamed.
"You've just convinced me, kids. I'm coming along. After all, he's my brother," Mystic Celesta said with a smile.
"Thanks, Aunt Kari," Max responded. "I just hope we can get through to my dad. He's not seeing through clearly."
"Max. You need to calm down," Keke said. "Listen to me."
The boy looks up at the young girl with teardrops pouring from his eyes. Mystic Celesta flies closer to the children and wiped the tears away.
"It's okay. Listen to what Keke might have to say," she assured the boy.
Max responds with a nod and lets go off Keke. He now flew separately in between Keke and Mystic Celesta.
"Max. You shouldn't give up on your father easily," said Keke. "Just look at him. I understand that he's lost control of his new power and he paid the price. But there is a way to get through to him."
"How? He's turned into a brainless monster with no conscience. Just look at the way he's recklessly damaging the planet! He's ignoring me."
"No, that's no true. Only you can get through to me. Not me or Aunt Kari. Not even Sora can do it. Only you can save him. But you have to resort to words alone and not physicality. If you let him hear you, I promise you that he'll listen. You need to give it a try."
"But, I…"
(End theme)
Suddenly, the trio was interrupted by an array of large blasts showering down through the earthen grounds. Omega X fired away more enormous blasts, which Bebi-Metalla X barely managed to avoid. The Tufflesurian knew that his opponent had apparently no self-control at the moment.
"He has no self control. I might as well use this time to escape. He's much too feral for me to battle. Besides, I still have to look after my fellow Tufflesurians; yet, I can't risk Taichi from annihilating what I worked hard to achieve. I'll deal with you later, Taichi. Then, I shall return with a vengeance. Enjoy yourself, Taichi."
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X's aura flares up and he quickly flies off into the distance. He stopped at his tracks once Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon levitated in his path.
"Going somewhere, pal?" Kaiser Greymon asked.
"I don't think we were formally introduced," replied Magna Garurumon.
"Legendary warriors! How good it is to see you! As you can see, I'm in no mood to challenge you. However, I think I'll take my frustrations out on you two. Taichi wasn't even worth my time, but I'm sure you can prove your worth to me."
"You're forgetting about us," said Kazemon.
"What are we now? Invisible? You forget that we're not to be reckoned with," Beetlemon replied.
"So prepare yourself, Bebimon," Kumamon threatened.
"Why not take all six of us on at the same time?" Lowemon asked. "We just might surprise you."
The Tufflesurian looked around his surroundings and merely chuckled. He puts his arms to his side and nods his head.
"Fine, have it your way, legendary warriors. If you wish to throw your lives away, then I'm more than obliged to take your pathetic lives. Maybe then, Taichi will control his temper and learn to fight me on an even plane field."
"Ready, guys? This is it! Our shining moment!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed while raising his sword.
"Oh, Takuya. You're embarrassing us," Kazemon muttered.
"Bring it on."
As soon as Bebi-Metalla X said that, the six legendary warriors flew towards the mutant from all directions to attack him. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon were the first to unleash their attacks on the Tufflesurian. Bebimon prepared himself for the onslaught that was about to occur.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
As the battle took a turn for the worst, Shintomon and Buddamon were visibly upset with Omega X's transformation. Yet, they had hoped that he would overcome the beast form. Gosenzomon was focused on the viewing orb without taking his eyes off of it.
"Sir! We must do something to help them! At this rate, Tai will ultimately destroy the planet. His friends and family will die."
"I don't think I can stand sitting around doing nothing," replied Buddamon.
"No, you two will merely get in the way," the elder responded. "You don't have the power to stop Omega X in his beast form."
"Why don't you send me down there, Gosenzomon?" BW asked. "I can slap some sense into that idiot."
"It's best that we save you as a trump card just in case they don't restore Tai's mind," the elder responded.
"He's right, BW. Just take it easy," X stated. "We have to let Tai control this spirit on his own."
"I should have known this would have occurred," a feminine voice spoke out.
"Hey! Who's that? I don't remember letting in any guests into this sacred ground," Buddamon said.
"Is that any way to treat a lady?"
Everyone turned to find the source of the voice. The voice came from none other than the 'sovereign' of the Western sector. Lady Moinanea steps out with a saddened glare on her face. Shintomon hurried over to the goddess and bows his head.
"Lady Moinanea. It's a pleasure to have you on my sacred ground," the higher being said thoughtfully.
"It's a pleasure to be here, Shintomon. I'm afraid that I have a confession to make."
"Does it have anything to do with the spirit you gave me to present Taichi with?"
"I'm afraid so. I didn't take into consideration that Taichi would handle the power of an ancient spirit. Sure, he has experience as a fusion warrior, but he has let his anger cloud his judgment. This resulted in his transformation into a demonic monster. This is my fault."
The demigoddess buries her face and started crying softly. Shintomon walks over to confront the female deity. He pats her back and soothed her head.
"It's all right, Lady Moinanea. We'll fix this problem. I'm sure Taichi's friends find a solution to this."
"I hope you're right."
"Lady Moinanea, if I may," X spoke out.
"Oh? Have we been formally introduced?"
"I'm afraid not. My name is X. I was the one who helped train Tai and his partner."
"You mean you're the one responsible for molding such a young boy into a digital warrior?"
"Yep, I'm the man. Out of everyone here, I know Tai like the back of my hand."
"So, you have real confidence that Taichi will regain his memory?"
"Yes. Don't worry about a thing, Lady Moinanea. I can assure you that Tai will overcome his anger. Besides, his son is there and I'm sure he'll get through to his father."
"But, what makes you think so?" asked Buddamon.
The masked man chuckled to himself and nods his head to BW. The former artificial smiles back to X.
"I know. Trust me on this one," X stated. "That kid is very resourceful."
Lady Moinanea nods her head in agreement with X and turns her attention to the viewing orb. Her face blushed as she noticed herself being held by Shintomon. The higher deity pushes himself away in embarrassment.
"Pardon me, Lady Moinanea. I didn't mean it…"
Expecting a slap from the demigoddess, Shintomon looked back at Lady Moinanea. Her cheeks were blushing.
"Oh, what's wrong with me? Shintomon just held me. Oh dear…"
"You two should get a room," Gosenzomon said bluntly. "We don't have time for any romantic scenes. The situation is starting to take a turn for the better. The legendary warriors are taking up arms against Bebimon. This should give Max and the others time to stop Tai from destroying the planet."
"Is that right? Well, that's a relief!" Shintomon exclaimed.
"My goodness. This is too much even for me," said Lady Moinanea.
The group gathered around to watch the legendary warriors from the viewing orb. They started to flock around Bebimon to prepare themselves with an attack on the Tufflesurian.
Planet Plant
Bebi-Metalla X lets out a battle cry as Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon went on the assault from both sides. The mutant phased away to leave the fused megas confused. They tried keeping up with Bebi-Metalla X's ki, but to no avail.
Magna Garurumon felt a tremendous blow being rammed into his gut. He lets out a gasped cry and coughed out blood. The blow was enough to stun the wolf warrior for the time being. Bebi-Metalla X turned to find Kaiser Greymon slamming his sword into the ground. He viewed an array of flames converting into the shapes of dragons.
"Pyro Dragons!"
The Tufflesurian takes a chance and dives through the flame dragons. He easily dispersed them with the aura of his own energy.
"What?! He's extinguishing my dragons with the energy of his own aura?!"
"You've got that right! Your pitiful dragons do not even pose a threat to me."
By flying through the dragons, Bebi-Metalla X found himself levitating next to Kaiser Greymon. The legendary warrior attempts to slash Bebi-Metalla X with his sword, but the mutant ducks under. Bebi-Metalla X saw an opening to Kaiser Greymon and executes an uppercut to the mega. His fist connected with Kaiser Greymon's chin and sends him flying up into the heavens. The villain takes off after Kaiser Greymon and delivers a painful elbow smash into his chest cavity.
"Ah, so they call you two legendary warriors? You've disappointed me. Just like Tai. You've all been disappointments. I had high hopes for Serpahimon and Ophanimon's disciples. You notice that unlike Lucemon I will not let my overconfidence cloud my judgment."
"You haven't even bothered to tango with us!" Beetlemon calls out. "Everyone! Execute!"
(Play Digimon Frontier theme With the Will)
"SLIDE EVOLUTION!"
With that said, the four remaining warriors digivolved into their beast level forms. Bebi-Metalla X merely looks on with an aggravated look on his face.
"Metal Kabuterimon!"
"Zephrymon!"
"Korikakkumon!"
"JagerLowemon!"
The four beasts surrounded Bebi-Metalla X and prepared to fire their most useful attacks. Metal Kabuterimon started off for his team by blasting out two enormous spheres of electrical power from his arm cannons. Zephrymon unleashed a powerful wind funnel. The massive Korikkakumon tosses his axes at the mutant.
"Bolt of Thunder!"
"Hurricane Hail!"
"Avalanche Axes!"
JagerLowemon finished off the process by firing a powerful dark blast from his mouth and sets his target solely on the Tufflesurian.
"Ebony Blast!"
The four attacks traveled out from different directions. Bebi-Metalla X puts out his two arms at both sides. After that, he releases an array of energy beams. Each beam dispersed through the warriors' attacks.
"What?!" screamed Zephrymon.
"No way!" Korikkakumon exclaimed.
"Why doesn't this surprise me?" Metal Kabuterimon muttered.
"We can't give up yet! We have to give it another shot!" said JagerLowemon.
"I'm afraid you four incompetent fools had your chance! Now, it's my turn to return the favor!"
Suddenly, two powerful forces collided with Bebi-Metalla X. The forces pushed the Tufflesurian through a rock wall and held him back. Bebi-Metalla X realized that Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon were refraining him from finishing off the four warriors.
"I don't think so, pal!" Kaiser Greymon spat out. "You'll have to destroy us if you want to get to them!"
"Even you can't push us off," said Magna Garurumon. "Eat this! Machinegun Destroy!"
"My turn! Pyro Dragons!"
The megas' combined attacks formed into a massive energy beam and sent Bebi-Metalla X sailing towards the heavens. Bebi-Metalla X cries out in a last minute desperation and punches his way through the beam. However, it exploded in his face. The legendary warriors stood by to watch a smoke cloud covering the skylines.
"Man, that was close for comfort," Zephrymon said under her breath. "Great job, guys"
"It's not over yet," Kaiser Greymon replied. "It's obvious that he would have survived that."
"Great, we're screwed. Thanks a lot, Taky'," Metal Kabuterimon muttered. "Leave it to the muscleheads like you."
"Knock it off, JP!" Magna Garurumon snapped. "Takuya, don't start rambling."
"I wasn't planning to. Anyway, any other ideas?"
"None whatsoever."
The warriors overheard laughter coming from the heavens. They watched as the smoke cloud faded away to reveal an unscathed Bebi-Metalla X. The villain points down at the six warriors.
"Pitiful! You six are nothing more than weaklings! Even Taichi put up much more effort than this and I clearly defeated him!"
"You know that's a load of bull, Bebimon! You didn't beat Tai just now! You ran away!" Kaiser Greymon calls out. "If you were any kind of a formidable opponent, you'd finish where you left off! Tai is looking for you as we speak."
"That fool can't even control the power of the spirit! He's clearly fighting blind and his anger has already overcome his humanity! It's over. Taichi is out of my hair."
(End theme)
Takato and Guilmon could not stand to hear the villain continue his ranting. The goggle head jumps off from the ledge and hands where the legendary warriors were gathered.
"Takato! Guilmon! Where are you two going?!" Pikkan asked.
"What does it look like? We're going to give another shot! Besides, the others are taking care of Tai! You ought to join them."
"Out of the question… Besides, I'd like a shot at this joker myself," the Alterian said.
"Fair enough. Ready, Guilmon?"
"You bet!"
"You two will stop where you are!"
The duo turned around to see Sakuyamon flying down from the heavens. She lands and points her staff at Takato.
"Rika? Renamon?! You two are under Bebimon's control."
"How observant," the golden-clad female spoke. "Don't make a move, Takato."
"Sakuyamon. Snap out of it! You're being used a pawn for Bebimon. He could careless if you were taken out of commission."
"You're speaking lies, Takato! Never talk like that about our lord and master!"
"Bebimon is nothing more than a selfish, power hungry monster. He'll abandon you if this planet were to be destroyed."
"Takato?"
"He's right! Please, you just have to believe us," Guilmon pleaded. "Rika. Renamon. We're your friends. Friends never hurt one another."
"Friends?"
"Try to remember," Takato stated. "Remember our adventures and how we saved our home planet from the D-Reaper."
"I-I…"
"Try to remember those times and put aside every poisonous thought Bebimon has implanted into your brain. You can do it, Sakuyamon. Overcome the evil seed!"
Sakuyamon drops her staff and started to clutch her head. She lets out a scream. Takato backs away to watch Sakuyamon drop to her knees.
"C'mon, Sakuyamon! You can do it!" Guilmon encouraged the mega. "Think happy thoughts…"
"Um, nice one, Guilmon. But, you're right. Positive thoughts should be effective to destroying that dark seed!"
"That's the way, Takato!" Pikkan calls out. "We'll hopefully have Sakuyamon back on our side."
"This is good! You hear that, Bebimon?! Your own loyal followers are soon going to turn their backs on you! Some lord you turned out to be," Kaiser Greymon said.
"Meh. This is just a minor inconvenience! Even your words alone can help destroy my seeds!" Bebi-Metalla X's voice echoed from the heavens.
With that said, Sakuyamon struggled to stand on her two feet. The dark seed had overcome the mega and an evil aura was forming over Sakuyamon. Takato called out to the female once again.
"Fight it, Sakuyamon! You have a strong will! This should be nothing to you! Besides, nobody and nothing controls the great Rika Nonaka!"
Sakuyamon screams out so everyone could hear her and struggled to break free of Bebimon's control. She grabbed her head and kneeled while smashing her fists through the dirt.
"Sakuyamon! C'mon! You can do it!" Guilmon pleaded. "Destroy the seed!"
"I-I can't be controlled…"
"That's it! You're doing it!" Takato said.
"Things are now starting to turn out right. Now, all we need to do is restore Tai and make sure he regains his memory. I just hope that Max and the others were able to get through to him."
Elsewhere on the planet
As Omega X was seen trashing many sections of the Tufflesurian city, a large crowd started fleeing by the masses. The beast stomped his way through the city and destroyed anything that dared crossed it's path.
Max, Keke and Mystic Celesta looked on from a far distance. The boy couldn't take it anymore and wouldn't stand for his father acting like a reckless monster without a shred of humanity.
"Keke. Aunt Kari. I'm sorry."
"For what?" they asked with worry.
"I made you guys worried over me for nothing. I didn't want you to see me like this…"
"By showing weakness?" Keke asked. "Max…"
"It's perfectly natural. Every human has a weakness," said Mystic Celesta. "That includes your father, too. It's perfectly fine to show weakness."
"Besides, Max… It shows that you're not a ruthless savage with a heart of stone. You truly care for your own parents. You love them."
"You're father is no different. Believe me when I say this. I'm deeply saddened that my brother turned out to be like this. He never meant it to be this way."
"I'm also saddened over the fact that monster, Bebimon, has taken over my dad's body. You saw me crying. That was weakness. I cried, because I love my father. You cry for the pain your father is enduring."
"Keke. My gosh… When did you become so big in words?"
"I'm growing up, Max. I've realized the values of life. Now I think its time for you to realize that."
"You two are growing up. I'm proud of you," Mystic Celesta spoke.
The boy looks over towards Omega X, who continued to trash nearly everything that stood in his way. He calmly closed his fists and wiped the tears from his eyes. Keke placed an arm on Max's left shoulder.
"Max. You're going to have to talk your father out of this. Only you can get through to him."
"But how can I? He's become a monster with no conscience. I'm scared of what he might do to me."
"He might have turned into a monster, but he's still your father," Mystic Celesta stated. "He might have endured a failed evolution, but Tai is still within that monster."
"You think so?"
"I know so. He simply lost control of the spirit he possessed. His rage alternately affected his evolution and transformed him into the monster you see."
"Yes and only I can get through to him."
"This has happened before."
"Yeah, with him and Skull Greymon."
"True, but there was another incident that involved Takato and Guilmon."
"I think I remember hearing that story. Yeah, dad told me everything. Guilmon digivolved into that demon, Megidramon."
"He had lost control over Guilmon. He thought he'd never see Guilmon again. It was quite a shocker even for me. I wouldn't even want to be reminded of that event. What I'm trying to say is simple. You must get through to your father."
"Go on. I think this is the perfect time for a little son and father bonding," Keke said with a giggle.
With that said, Max nods to them with agreement and takes off into the air. The boy stares out into the far distance and noticed that his father was starting to climb up a tall mountain.
"Father!"
Max immediately powers up a ki aura and darts off towards the mountain. Many of Bebimon's enslaved were fleeing for their lives as a result of Omega X's rampage. The boy quickly calls out to the beast once again.
"Father!"
(Play Inuyasha OST theme Strength of Soul)
Omega X passed through to find many familiar faces along the way. He looked down to find Sora, Mimi, Ryo, Dimitri and many others including many Digi-Destined. Sora stared up into the eyes of the beast, which is identified as her husband. She lets out a scream and falls backwards. Biyomon immediately fell to Sora's aid.
"Hey! You better get away if you know what's good for you, ugly!" Mimi screeched. "I'll have you know that Bebimon will come to save us!"
"You tell her, mom!" Dimitri praised the woman's words.
"He won't let a monster like you destroy his dreams!" exclaimed Ryo. "Your actions are futile!"
"MEGA BARRAGE!"
Omega X felt several missiles slamming into him from behind. He turned to face the walking fortress, Mega Galgomon. The mega was more than ready to take the demon beast down.
"Get away from them, slappy!" Mega Galgomon calls out. "What a way to put it, Terriermon…"
However, Omega X quickly phases out from sight and leaves Mega Galgomon completely caught off guard. The beast reappears in front of Mega Galgomon and takes him down with a devastating clothesline.
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Guardian Barrage!"
"Bunny Blades!"
Ikkakumon, Guardromon and Antiramon attempted to fend off the monster, but it still wasn't enough to put him down. There were no evident scratches on Omega X's form. He quickly powered up and fires numerous mouth blasts to take them out of the battle. They were brought down almost immediately. Ikkakumon and Antiramon were reverted back to their rookie forms.
"I'll stop him!" Cyberdramon roars. "Desolation Claw!"
Omega X turned to find Cyberdramon slamming his energy attack into him, but it did nothing more than infuriated the beast. The Omega X beast merely swung a clubbed fist and directly nails Cyberdramon. The force was enough to send Cyberdramon crashing through a building wall.
"Dimitri! This is getting dangerous! We have to get out of here!" Mimi pleaded.
"I know!"
"Everyone get back! He's going to fire!" Palmon screamed.
"Sora! We have to get out of here!" Biyomon pleads.
"My leg… It's injured after I fell. Ow…"
Biyomon took a look down and realized that Sora's ankle was sprained. She tried pulling up the woman to her feet, but turned to find Omega X aiming to attack. Omega X lifted his head up as a sphere ball came out of his widened mouth and was preparing to launch it at his 'family and friends'. They could only look on with horror as the monster prepared to destroy them. Suddenly, Max flew out in front of his enslaved friends with a determined look.
"What?! Max?" Sora said. "My gosh…"
"That's enough, dad! I beg of you to stop this insanity!" Max pleaded. "This has gone on long enough!"
Omega X growled deeply and lashed out at the boy, who flew around to the other side of a nearby building structure. The beast lets out a demonic cry and prepared to finish off where he left off.
"That monster is Tai? It can't be," Sora said. "It can't… be…"
The woman immediately fainted and fell down as Biyomon and Palmon caught her fall. Mimi was angered by the event and screams out at the monster.
"You should have died, Taichi! Bebimon will come back and finish you! I swear he will!"
"You tell him, mom!" Dimitri cried out.
"Dad! Stop it!"
The monster fired the blast and watched as it slams through another tall building structure. The boy flew off the roof before the building itself was reduced to dust/rubble. Omega X screamed out while smashing his fists through the earthen ground. He starts to fly off into the distance. Max was unsure as to what his father was planning to do next. The boy takes off after the beast.
"What are you planning now, dad?! This destruction has gone long enough!"
(End theme)
Back on the other side of the planet
Sakuyamon was still struggling to fight the dark seed implanted in her brain. She grasped her head once again and screams. Takato and Guilmon continued to encourage her to destroy the seed with positive thoughts.
"Damn! I can't believe they are actually helping her destroy my precious seed!" Bebi-Metalla X said.
"You'll need more than just those seeds to brainwash those with a strong will," Leomon's voice echoed.
The Tufflesurian quickly turned around to find a metallic version of Leomon. In fact, this was none other than Cyber Leomon. He had digivovled into his second alternate form thanks in part to Jeri and Calumon. Levitating next to Cyber Leomon was Beelzebumon.
"Don't forget me," Beelzebumon said. "Luckily I managed to find you, fuzzy."
"Bebimon. Soon, you'll be dealing with Taichi and there's nothing you can do to stop his wrath."
"Taichi? He's already a brainless brute! He can't even control his spirit! Get it through your damn heads."
"I wouldn't underestimate the will of a courageous young man like Taichi," Cyber Leomon said. "If I were you, then I'd sense out his ki right now."
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X feels out Omega X's overwhelming ki and his eyes widened in surprise. He didn't even mutter a single word and takes off into the distance.
"Well, that was disappointing. I wanted a shot at him," Beelzebumon mused.
"Leave that monster for Taichi. Don't worry. I know Tai more than you have, Beelzebumon. He would have found a way through this false evolution."
"I'll take your word for it. Say, what's wrong with fox face?"
"She's doing everything she can to overcome the dark seed. It looks to be succeeding!"
The brave warrior was correct with his assumption. Sakuyamon rolled onto the ground and quickly coughed out the dark seed. Guilmon rushes over and crushes it with a single stomp.
"Squish! There I took care of the seed!" Guilmon stated. "How are you doing, Sakuyamon?"
"Fine… What just happened?" the female warrior wondered. "The last thing I remember was Bebimon jamming a seed into my head. Ugh…"
"It's a long story," said Takato. "Don't worry. We'll explain everything."
"Oh… Well, all right."
"This is certainly turning out to be going well for our side," Pikkan said. "Now all we need is Tai. C'mon, you guys. Bebimon is on his way there as we speak."
Back at the center of the planet
The Omega X beast finds a nearby mountain and lands right on top of a steep. He closed his wings and took a moment to rest off his exhausted energy. He lifts his head and glared up at a moon-like structure in the skies. He peers through and realized that he was looking towards the planet Earth. Omega X sat up and reaches out for the magnificent blue planet.
Meanwhile, Max found his father from a far distance and noticed the beast reaching out for the planet.
"Dad!"
The boy stops, as he got closer towards his father.
"Dad. The Earth is not too far off from this planet. That's right. That's the same planet we cherish. The same goes for the Digital World."
Omega X continues to reach towards the earth, despite being too far off away from Planet Plant. Max stops right in front of Omega X. The son looks right up into the demonic eyes of his newly transformed father. Unlike many others, Max was showing no fear. Omega X could easily sense that the boy was not displaying any fear. He breathed heavily to get a scent to recognize the boy.
"Dad, don't you recognize me? It's me. I'm Max. You're only son."
Omega X bobbed his head slowly as he took another closer look at Max. Max stood still to in order to get on his father's good side. Slowly, but surely, Omega X was starting to come through and gasps at what he has done.
"Dad?"
Omega X pointed a finger over to Max as Max reached over. The boy lets out a few tears as they dropped at the tip of Omega X's finger. The monster was now starting to get the idea of the emotion he was getting from his son. His memories were now coming right back to him. Images of his son's birth were the most memorable for him. He remembered how happy he and Sora were to become proud parents.
"Dad. I will always be your son. I will always love you and mother. Please come back to us."
With those words alone, Omega X finally came through. With that sudden instant, his body started to glow with a golden aura. His massive size was slowly shrinking down. Max flew back to witness his father's evolution.
(Play Digimon Frontier Hyper Spirit Evolution theme The Last Element)
"You can do it, dad. I knew you would have come through!"
His body was shrinking down to the size of a normal human being. His eyes were becoming human-like and normal limbs replaced his massive claws. His monstrous tail was gone and his wings shrunk down to his back. His skin was pretty much the same. Max gasped at the new evolution of his father. This was the true evolved form. Omega X now had reptilian-like skin; his eyes were yellow with black oval-like shaped irises. His hands still had claws. A pair of yellow pants covered his body along with black boots. His head has black, spiky hair and a small tail wriggled around from behind his back. The muscles on his body were enlarged, which gave him a perfect physique. The wings on his back were gone as a result of his evolution. Streaks of lighting jolted through his form and gave him a more powerful look.
"Dad?! Is this your true evolved form? Will you be able to defeat Bebimon like this? Lets hope so."
Omega X looks up towards Max with a will of determination. He clenched his fists and powers up. A powerful ki wave blasted the mountains effortlessly and left a large dent into the ground.
"Max. Thanks, son. Thank you for getting through to me. Now I think it's time to show Bebimon what I'm truly capable of."
"Since this is your newly evolved form, what should I call you?"
Omega X smirked at the question, which his son has asked. He replied with his trademark grin.
"I'll call this Super Omega X4. My final evolution and the death of Bebimon."
(End theme)
You did it, Taichi! With the help of your son, you have managed to reach your final evolution! Super Omega X 4, you say? Well, lets just see if you'll live up to your words and destroy Bebimon. Meanwhile, Sakuyamon has regained her memory and destroys the dark seed. The tide has turned on Bebimon, or has it?

At Last, Taichi's True Final Ascension! Super Omega X4 Emerges!
Omega X finally came through. With that sudden instant, his body started to glow with a golden aura. His massive size was slowly shrinking down. Max flew back to witness his father's evolution.
"You can do it, dad. I knew you would have come through!"
His body was shrinking down to the size of a normal human being. His eyes were becoming human-like and normal limbs replaced his massive claws. His monstrous tail was gone and his wings shrunk down to his back. His skin was pretty much the same. Max gasped at the new evolution of his father. This was the true evolved form.

"Since this is your newly evolved form, what should I call you?"
Omega X smirked at the question, which his son has asked. He replied with his trademark grin.
"I'll call this Super Omega X4. My final evolution and the death of Bebimon."
Looking on from a close distance, Keke and Mystic Celesta were witnesses to the entire transformation. The little girl's mouth widened. Mystic Celesta felt Omega X's ki level and was utterly in disbelief.
"My goddramon… He did it… He's managed to overcome the spirit. Wow, what a transformation, big brother."
Other side of Planet Plant
The six Legendary Warriors gathered together once Sakuyamon was informed about the conflict. Pikkan and Cyberleomon discussed matters concerning Omega X.
"How are you feeling, Sakuyamon?" Guilmon asked.
"I think I'll manage. That monster thinks he can get away with controlling me? This isn't over."
"Don't worry. I'm sure Tai will take care of him," Takato replied.
"But, Takatomon… He's transformed into an uncontrollable monster. He can't be any help to us."
"You're wrong, Guilmon. I know Tai will overcome the spirit and pull through. It's not like Tai to be defeated that easily."
"You sure have a lot of faith in him, Takato," Sakuyamon spoke through Rika's voice.
"I know."
Just then, the digimon all turned towards their right direction. They had just felt an overwhelming ki that has immediately spread throughout the whole planet. Pikkan flies up and sensed out this powerful ki. He quickly recognizes the energy level and turns back to his comrades.
"Everyone! It's Taichi! This ki I'm sensing is coming from Taichi!"
"What?! Yeah, you're right!" Kaiser Greymon replied. "Do you sense that, Magna Garurumon?"
"I know. It's overwhelming."
"I'd say he's as strong as we were as Susanoomon," JagerLowemon said.
"Maybe even stronger?" Zephrymon wondered.
"I wouldn't put it past him," Korikkakumon said.
"Dang! I really want to check out Tai's new form!" Metal Kabuterimon exclaimed. "I bet he looks like a million bucks!"
"I'll have to agree with ya," Beelzebumon said. "I bet Bebimon is going to have a heart attack over this."
"More like spazzing out," replied Takato. "This is the moment of truth guys. Guilmon. It's time we get going."
"Ok."
"Sakuyamon. Are you up for it?"
"You should know me by now, Takato. You know I'd like to see Tai knock the crap out of that freak."
"Everyone! We're moving out to the city! I'm picking up Tai's ki from there. If we want to see him, then we'll have to hurry. Cyberleomon. You go retrieve Jeri and Calumon."
"Will do."
"Let's go! There's no time to waste!"
"Hey, guys? I can't seem to find SaberVeemon," Guilmon said. "Shouldn't we…"
"He most likely left to find Tai," Pikkan said. "Don't worry. Bebimon didn't kill him. So he's probably on his way to the city as we speak. There's no time to waste. Tai awaits for our arrival."
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
The higher beings witnessed the entire transformation of Omega X. They were not just astonished, but relieved. They were relieved, because Tai managed to overcome the spirit's overwhelming, ancient power. X and BW were proud of the warrior's efforts.
"Wow, that's incredible!" Shintomon said.
"Taichi did it. He really came through," Lady Moinanea replied. "I'm proud of you."
Gosenzomon jumped up and hollered like a small child over the turn of events.
"Yes! What a success! This is why I decided to give Taichi and Agumon a little more training beforehand! It turned out to be a success! I never thought that it would benefit to their advantage."
The elder quickly points his finger over to the viewing orb, which displayed a perfect view of Omega X4.
"Feast your eyes on this, younglings," Gosenzomon gloated. "You better take some notes! I give you Super Omega X4! Taichi's final evolution!"
Shintomon and Buddamon's eyes glazed over Omega X4's stature. They had never seen such a rare presence. They had doubted the elder's plans, but it would seem that they were proven wrong once again. The spirit given by Lady Moinanea also helped with matters.
"I should be given credit here," muttered Lady Moinanea. "Elder, this is a result of not just your training, but the spirit I've given to Taichi."
"I agree, but it was the training that managed to increase his strength. He needed it to become strong enough to face up to the task."
"Wow, so that's the true final evolution?" BW asked. "Damn! He has more power than I could have ever imagined."
"It's true. I never thought there would be another one like this," X said.
"Whoa! You mean to tell me that there was another warrior, who ascended into this level?"
"Many, many eons ago… This was even long before Shintomon and I were born. There was another digital being, which raised his power level to about the same as Tai's. He eventually became a level four being and nearly destroyed parts of the digital universe. Since then, nothing else has been heard from this individual. There were no written documents on him, nor any witnesses since they had perished."
"I see. So we don't have to worry about that menace?"
"No need to worry, BW. He's been long gone, or so I'm told. What we need to worry about is the situation on Planet Plant. Taichi has become the first 'pure-hearted' warrior to reach this rare level. We're witnessing history as we speak," X concluded.
"Yes, a new hope has risen to rid the universe of the Tufflesurian tyrant," spoke Lady Moinanea.
"Geez, you guys are overdramatic. Taichi is simply going to kick his ass. Plain and simple," Gosenzomon retorted. "Give him hell, Omega X!"
Planet Plant
Back over the abandoned city, Omega X looked across the destruction caused by his rampage. He was deeply mourned over it and walks across the rubble. Mystic Celesta stood by with the children at her side.
"Did I cause all of this?" Omega X spoke deeply.
"What? You mean you don't remember everything that you've caused?!" Max asked. "Yeah. You destroyed many parts of this city and planet! Not to mention you nearly killed mom and me."
"I did? My god…"
"But it wasn't your fault. You were angry over what Bebimon has done to destroy our peace," Keke replied. "Right, Kari?"
"Yeah."
"Kari. It's good to know that you've rid yourself of Bebimon's dark seed and returned to our side," Omega X said.
"Hey, they don't call me the Digi-Destined of Light for nothing."
"I'm glad. Max. Keke. I'm also proud of you for leading the team through this mess. If it wasn't for you, then Kari wouldn't have regained her free will nor would I have transformed into his magnificent form."
"Yeah about that," said Max. "That form really kicks ass!"
"But can't you simply transform back to the way you were before?" Keke wondered. "I mean you can't remain in that form without losing energy."
The warrior looks towards a glass mirror and gazed upon his reflection. Streaks of lighting jolted through his body and resulted in the glass shattering into pieces. He speaks again with a low-toned voice, which was mixed with tranquility and anger.
"I don't know about that, Keke. I will need to require this form and power to defeat Bebimon. There's no telling how much stronger I've become now. However, this new form has allowed me to pick up ki readings throughout this whole planet. Not just this planet, but also many galaxies at a million light year radius. I had limitations through my previous forms, but hopefully not this one."
"Well, all I can say is that I'm impressed," Mystic Celesta replied. "Tai. Are you going alone on this one?"
"Yes. I won't need any help to beat the crap out of that bastard. Kari, I have a favor to ask of you."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Protect the children as much as you can. Don't let your sights off of them. The others are on their way here. Be sure to fill them in on everything. They have every right to know what has happened."
"Just leave it to us, dad!" Max said. "We'll have everything taken care of!"
"Wait, a second Tai!" Keke screeched. "Mr. Kamiya, this power of yours is crazy! How do you expect us to know that you won't turn on us and try to kill us like that demon you just turned into?"
"Keke! Calm down. He's changed completely," Mystic Celesta reassured her. "He's nothing like that demon anymore."
"He was destroying the planet and our families could have been killed!"
"Rest easy, Keke. I'm still me," Omega X replied. "All I think about is extracting some pay back on Bebimon."
"You go, dad! You send that freak packing out of here. It's time we bring back our friends and families!"
"Thanks, Max. As soon as I find Bebimon, I'll defeat him and restore everyone. Sora, Matt, and everyone else."
"Let me come with you, dad! We'll tag team this creep together!"
"No. You stay here with your Aunt Kari and Keke. I've already given you instructions. I expect you to follow them out. Besides, I can't have any distractions when I fight Bebimon. I urge you to remain here. This is my fight now."
Omega X walks off into the open and stared out into the horizon. He turns back to face his son.
"Take care of Keke. She needs you. Don't worry about me. I'll be back and that's a promise."
"Good luck, dad!"
Omega X smiled as he immediately vanished from sight. The trio was surprised by his speed and couldn't even detect his ki anymore. Even Mystic Celesta was caught by surprise and she was considered the second fastest/strongest next to Omega X.
Within several nanoseconds, Omega X was levitating above the planet's skies and peered throughout the surrounding landscape. The Earth itself lay dormant in the background. The warrior turns his head towards the left direction and homed in on a single, wicked ki.
"Yeah. I can feel that bastard's ki now."
With that said, Omega X's body emitted a strong aura of electricity. He takes off towards the direction and left only a trail of devastated debris along the way.
Main Tufflesurian Metropolis Tower
Bebi-Metalla X looks across a massive computer screen revealing a close-up view of Planet Earth. A sneer forms across his chagrin.
"Damn it! How could that pest transform into such a monster?! It was most likely an evolution mistake. That spirit he used… I need to know where he received it. Lady Moinanea must have had a hand in this! Curse that wench!"
Flashback from previous encounter
Omega X screams as energy spirals started engulfing him. His eyes started to glow crimson and his teeth became beast-like.
"Execute! Courage Spirit Evolution!"
Omega X's armor shattered as he grew into a Tyrannosaurus-sized reptilian monster. His eyes were neon and his teeth were sharper than that of a kitchen machete. His clawed talons were long enough to reach out for anything that came his way. His skin was red with black stripes. His tail was not only prehensile but very powerful looking. Gone was his happy and laid back nature. Tai had become a walking killing machine with no soul.
End of flashback
"Where can I find a spirit?! I must have one! I need that power to crush Taichi once and for all!"
Bebi-Metalla X turned to face the Hpnos crew, consisting of Yamaki, Talley, Izzy and Riley. Izzy was hard at work developing a weapon similar to the spirit device with the help of Hypnos' latest technology. Talley assisted him to speed up the work process. The former computer geek was scanned through files and databases to obtain the spirit's mysteries.
"Lord Bebimon. We have some news to report," Talley said.
"According to our research on the spirit, we've learned that Earth can reflect the same radiation of light as that spirit. In other words, Omega X was also able to substitute some of the spirit's power. He then combined it with the Earth's light radiation to enable to undergo his transformation."
"Brilliant theory, Izzy," Riley praised her co-worker. "You really should consider promoting Izzy, Lord Bebimon."
"Yay! That's my Izzy!" Talley said gleefully.
"Ugh, she's gotten way too attached to him," muttered the red head.
"Way too attached if you ask me," Yamaki stated.
"There's one problem with your theory, Izzy," Bebi-Metalla X replied. "How come I can't change? After all, I've possessed Yamato's body. I may not have a spirit, but I should also mutate like Omega X just demonstrated."
"That's just it. You don't possess a spirit like Omega X does," stated Izzy.
"Ugh! This is such a pain in the ass!" Bebi-Metalla X cursed.
"Oh, Loooooord Debimon!" the voice of Mimi screeched. "I'm always here if you need some comfort."
"Mimi?!"
The Tufflesurian lord turned around to find Mimi out of her civilian clothes and into a hot, pink bikini getup. She giggled and blew Bebi-Metalla X a kiss as if she were posing for a swimsuit pin-up shoot.
"Oh, Mimi. This isn't the time for this!"
(Play Rob Zombie's "Super Beast")
Suddenly, Bebi-Metalla X felt a strong ki presence heading towards his lookout tower. He turned and located a bright light across the heavens. He finally realized that his sworn enemy was on his way.
"Come on! Bring it on, you dumb bastard! I'm not scared of you! You're on my turf and there's no way you'll overcome my wrath!"
The Hypnos crew looked on helplessly as their master anxiously awaited for Omega X's arrival. Mimi backed away as Bebi-Metalla X stood his ground. There was a sudden explosion that caused a wall to erupt and break down. The group gasped as soon as the smoke cleared away. Bebi-Metalla X turned to face his most hated adversary. As for Omega X, he was levitating outside the broken wall and forms a smile on his face.
"I've found you, Bebimon."
"You've changed a lot since we've last fought. Have you come back for me to annihilate you for good?"
"Beh. Compared to your weak statue, I'm a god. You're the one who's going to be receiving a well deserved ass kicking."
The courage warrior's ki mildly shot up as electrical currents started to electrocute the surrounding Hypnos equipment. Izzy and Talley jumped away as several screens shattered. Mimi screeched while rushing out through the backdoor. Omega X turns to face her.
"Mimi! Don't!"
Mimi immediately faces Omega X with a hateful, demonic glare. She sneered and flips him off with a 'double bird'.
"Don't ever look at me or call me by that name, human!"
"Izzy. Mimi. Yamaki. You are now working for Bebimon? So that means you're my enemy now. I'm sorry to say this."
"Damn you, Taichi," Mimi hissed with venom in her once innocent voice. "I hope you go straight to hell."
"Mimi…"
Omega X turns around and faces off with Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian lord had a wide grin, which only managed to further infuriate Omega X further.
"I'll never forgive you for this, Bebimon. Mark my words."
Bebi-Metalla X growled deeply and immediately retorted back at his adversary.
"Shut up! I won't let anymore of you humans to live! No matter what!"
With that said, both warriors disappeared outside the lookout tower. The battle started across the heavens with Bebi-Metalla X throwing out fierce punches at Omega X. One of his punches had failed to make contact with the warrior. Omega X easily dodged his punches, as if he were reading Bebi-Metalla X like an open book. Omega X flies away as soon as Bebi-Metalla X unleashed an array of ki blasts. The courageous warrior retaliates as he came torpedoing towards Bebi-Metalla X and connects with a fist to the Tufflesurian's face. Just then, the ki blasts came homing towards Omega X and slammed into his back.
Bebi-Metalla X came flying over at Omega X and delivers a knee deep into warrior's gut. Omega X started crying out, which managed to bring a smile on Bebi-Metalla X's face. Suddenly, much to the mutant's surprise, Omega X recovered immediately and punches the Tufflesurian across the face. This stunned Bebimon long enough for Omega X to phase behind him. From there, he delivers an elbow to Bebi-Metalla X's spine. Bebimon stopped as he pushed out towards Omega X and sends a wave that pushes the warrior back. The courageous warrior managed to stop at his tracks.

Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
BW and X watched the battle ensue through the viewing orb with great anticipation. Lady Moinanea clapped cheerfully for Omega X's efforts. Meanwhile, the two higher powers had their eyes glued to the orb to bear witness what was the most important battle since the D-Reaper. Gosenzomon stood in the background with a serious chagrin.
"Yay! He's giving Bebimon a fight!" Lady Moinanea cheered. "He'll win at this rate!"
"Yep, that's the same Tai that I've trained," X acknowledged his pupil. "I'm proud of him."
"There's no way that freak will touch him at this point, X," stated BW.
"Isn't that fact?"
"Let's not forget that Bebimon is no weakling," Shintomon said bluntly. "He's actually competing with Omega X4! That is simply incredible!"
"What are you watching? Some crappy ass street fight?" Gosenzomon asked. "This is no evenly fought battle. Taichi hasn't even bothered to use his full power yet. What the heck is his problem? Get serious, Taichi!"
Planet Plant
Looking on from a far distance was Mystic Celesta and the children. Max clasped his hands together in prayer for his father.
"C'mon, dad! You can do it! Nobody can touch you! Not even Bebimon!"
"Hey, Max. Why don't we concentrate on finding our other friends?" Keke asked. "Your dad can take care of himself."
"Bingo. I've just spotted them," Mystic Celesta said. "Look up ahead."
As Mystic Celesta pointed out to the horizon, the children's smiles widened once Pikkan and Gallantmon came into view. The six legendary warriors, along with Beelzebumon and Sakuyamon, were tagging along.
"Hey! Thank goodness we've found you in time!" Gallantmon calls out. "How's everything been turning out?"
"Where's Tai?!" Pikkan asked.
"You should have been here to see it! My dad was incredible!"
"Sakuyamon! Did you guys restore her to normal?"
"There's no need to worry. She freed herself of Bebimon's dark seed," Kaiser Greymon explained.
"Mind filling us in on everything?" Beelzebumon said.
"Well, my dad transformed into an awesome warrior and is kicking Bebimon around as we speak," Max said. "Other than that. He almost destroyed the city. I was able to restore his memory by myself."
"Good job, kiddo," Gallantmon said.
"What about, Saber Veemon? Did you manage to find him?" Mystic Celesta wondered.
"No, he was gone… We don't know if he would have joined up with you guys. It's a miracle he had survived that attack from Bebimon," Pikkan stated. "I wouldn't count him out just yet. I'm sure he'll be here to extract some revenge on that freak."
Suddenly, a powerful force exploded across the heavens and catches everyone's attention. The digimon picked up on Omega X's ki and were simply astonished.
"Wow! Do you guys feel that?!" Zephrymon said. "It's much bigger from a closer range!"
"No kidding. Wow, Tai must have packed up on those vitamins!" Magna Garurumon replied.
"We're right here when we need you buddy," Kaiser Greymon stated. "He will need our help eventually, right?"
"Nah. At this point, he's dominating," Max replied. "You leave this with my dad. I guarantee you that he'll wipe the floor with this punk."
"I just hope that you're right, Max," thought Mystic Celesta.
The group looked out towards the horizon where a trail of lights collided with one another. They were traveling faster than any digital warrior would ever comprehend.
Back towards the battle across the planet
(Play The Matrix Neodammerung)
The fight continued with the two super powers through the planet's heavens. Omega X avoids a punch thrown by Bebi-Metalla X and managed to block it out with an elbow. Bebi-Metalla X takes advantage and knees Omega X's side. The mutant nails a direct blow squarely into Omega X's face. Bebimon takes advantage of the opportunity and nails more painful blows all across his adversary's body. Omega X took each blow and winced.
"How do you like that?! You want some more, Taichi?!"
Omega X drops his guard almost immediately, which results in Bebi-Metalla X into charging his opponent. The courageous warrior looks across with a smirk. Bebi-Metalla X continued laying in more punches at Omega X. The Tufflesurian slams his fist right into the warrior's gut. However, Omega X ignored the pain emitting through his upper body and merely smiled.
"I won't let you smile at me!"
Bebi-Metalla X delivers another punch across Omega X's face. As the warrior wiped his face, Bebi-Metalla X was displaying signs of fatigue.
"Hey, Bebimon. Is that all you've got? You're a bigger wuss than I thought. I never thought I could be this powerful."
"What are you babbling about, ass clown?!"
"Your attacks are nothing more than mere insect bites to me now. How does that come across to you?"
Bebi-Metalla X sneered at that fact that his offensive blows were not affecting Omega X in any manner. He cursed to himself and gave Omega X a death glare.
"Shut up, human! Just, shut up!"
Bebi-Metalla X takes off and slams a clubbed fist across Omega X's head. The force from his blow sent Omega X plummeting through an abandoned shack. Despite the long fall, Omega X stood up from the rubble without a single scathe on his majestic form.
"Damn it! Fine! Then, how about this?!"
(End theme)
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X gathers a large amount of dark ki from his raised palms. He immediately created a massive black energy ball. Omega X was very familiar with this very same technique. It was Bebimon's Revenge Death Ball. The Tufflesurian hurls the dark sphere down towards Omega X.
"Revenge Death Ball!"
The death ball came drawing closer towards Omega X. The warrior remained frozen without displaying any emotion of fear and doubt. He remained calm and allowed the ball to slam against him. The ball covered a wide radius over the landscape and erupted into a massive explosion that rocked the entire planet itself.
Bebi-Metalla X looked down desperately and viewed the smoke starting to pick up. The smoke clouds slowly dispersed through the heavy winds. The mutant waited in anticipation and watched the smoke clear away. There was no signal of a living ki. It seemed that Bebi-Metalla X has defeated the warrior once again.
"Yes! I've won. He's finally gone! Taichi has finally died! Victory is mine!"
However, this celebration was short-lived. The smoke completely cleared away and a tall, rock formation stood in its place. Bebi-Metalla X looked across and his eyes widened in shock. He gasped under his breath and set his sights onto Omega X himself. The warrior stared down his adversary without a single scratch on his body. He was standing on the only rock formation left from the wake of the explosion.
"Im-Impossible! You're- He's supposed to be dead! You should have died!"
"Bebimon. I will never forgive you for what you have done. Because of you, these past few days have been nothing more than a living hell. You can't defeat me while I'm in perfect condition. Game over for you."
"What?! You're bullshitting me!"
"Your strength cannot compare to mine."
"Shut that damn hole of yours! Shut it! Shut it!"
(Play Drowning Pool's Tearing Away)
In retaliation to the warrior's threats, Bebi-Metalla X relentlessly shot out numerous ki blasts at Omega X. Much to his dismay, each blast seemed to dissipate before they could hit their mark on Omega X. The warrior's own invisible aura was blocking out each ki shot. Omega X calmly stands his ground without losing his cool.
"You've played around with other people's emotions for far too long. I can never forgive you. You're crimes will not go unpunished."
Omega X slowly levitates from the steep rock formation.
"I'm tired of this game, Bebimon. Leave my family and friends alone. You don't deserve any second chances. You've just blown your chances of me showing any mercy to you. No, YOU DON'T DESERVE ANY MERCY!"
Within several nanoseconds, Omega X flew right at Bebi-Metalla X and delivers a devastating knee into the mutant's gut. The Tufflesurian lets out a deep gasp while attempting to catch his breathe. But, he soon realized that his ribs were cracked from the blow. Following that, Omega X puts out his right palm in front of Bebi-Metalla X's face and lets loose rapid fists into his face. Bebimon's face was soon busted open from these blows. The warrior polishes off his enemy and lets lose numerous ki blasts, which sent the mutant plummeting down.
(Theme fades slowly)
Across the battlefield
The group was clearly astonished by the sheer power of Omega X4. Even Mystic Celesta was taken back by the effort put forth by her brother. Max jumped up with his fists raised in victory.
"Yay! He's winning!" Max cheered. "My dad is taking out the trash!"
"I just hope he can free my father of that ugly parasite," Keke said.
"Guys. Remind me never to mess with Tai for a while," Beetlemon said.
"As long as you don't turn into some power hungry maniac and threatens to kill his family, then you shouldn't worry," Kaiser Greymon replied.
"Um, yeah. Thanks for the warning."
"Taichi. You're clearly having fun with Bebimon. This is the perfect opportunity to destroy him now before he gains an upper hand," Pikkan thought.
"Pikkan!" Jeri's voice calls out.
The Alterian turned around to find Cyberleomon levitating down with Jeri and Calumon. The teen girl rushes over to her boyfriend and wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh, my Pikkan. Is everything all right?"
"Everything is going swell. Heh…"
"Aw, sweet love," Kazemon sighed.
"Wow, I didn't know you had a soft side, fluffy," Beelzebumon teased.
"Can it or you'll meet my fist!" Pikkan screamed at the winged demon. "How would you like it if I made those wings of yours into some nice ol' Buffalo wings?!"
"Why don't you come on over and try, elf!"
"All right! That tears it!"
"Cut it out, you two! This is not junior high!" Jeri scolded them.
"Well, at least, Jeri is starting to toughen up a bit," Sakuyamon said.
"Remind me to never have a girlfriend," muttered Kumamon.
"Has Taichi gained an upper hand since I was gone? I've felt Bebimon's ki dropping drastically," Cyberleomon said.
"Well, isn't it obvious?" said Mystic Celesta. "I just hope my brother keeps it up."
"C'mon, dad! Don't let him gain an advantage. If we beat him now, then we'll restore everyone to normal."
Main Tufflesurian Metropolis Tower
The Hypnos crew watched the battle unfold between the two superpowers through the main computer monitor. Mimi kept a close watch on Bebimon and was growling with frustration. The results weren't looking too great for the Tufflesurian lord, which caused Mimi to smash her fists on the monitor. Riley was forced to restrain the angry woman.
"Damn that, Taichi! He's not playing fair!"
"You're going to break our equipment like that! Restrain yourself, Ms. Tachikawa-Ishida!"
Meanwhile, Yamaki and Izzy viewed the battle while devising a new strategy to use to Bebimon's advantage. The monitor was currently displaying a surveillance view of Omega X firing a barrage of martial art punches across Bebi-Metalla X's chest. The Tufflesurian lord was coughing out a large amount of blood from his mouth while lingering from his broken ribs.
"No! You can't die on us, Lord Bebimon!" Mimi screeched. "Unhand me, Riley!"
"Not to fret, Mimi. We've devised a backup plan for our lord," Izzy said.
"Then, get to work, geek! Lord Bebimon needs our help!"
Back onto the battlefield outside of the tower
(Replay Drowning Pool's Tearing Away)
With the tower itself in the background, the two warriors were above an empty lot. Omega X continues his relentless assault while delivering a painful chop to the Tufflesurian's side neck. This resulted in Bebi-Metalla X being sent crashing down through a rooftop. He falls through and becomes buried underneath a pile of rubble. The Tufflesurian quickly busts through the debris. Omega X slowly makes his way towards his adversary. The villain chuckled to himself, which brought Omega X to a sudden halt.
"You're forgetting one thing, Taichi. You're beating the living crap out of your own buddy's body, not mine. Remember Yamato? He's the vessel I've taken over… Heh…"
"You don't have to remind me. Besides, he's not the type to die so easily."
"C'mon, then. You can't even hurt… me at all. What a waste of time! You can't hurt me at all, you fool!"
"You also forget that we, digital warriors, get stronger after every battle. That includes through death itself. We, digital warriors, thrive on such…"
"Digital warrior race? What a load of crap… You humans and your pride… You disgust me… You're just like that fool, Cyrus! You belong in hell with him! Now, die!"
Bebi-Metalla X turned around and shoots out another ki blast. However, Omega X easily managed to slap it away with little effort. The Tufflesurian looks on with utter disbelief and walked slowly away.
"Now, let me show you how to use ki properly."
Omega X merely held out his right palm and sends an invisible force that sends Bebi-Metalla X flying backwards. The mutant flies up and stops with an angry sneer replacing that once cocky grin.
(End theme)
"Damn it! I won't die at the hands of a digital human!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice was calling out to the Tufflesurian lord. He easily managed to recognize the voice to be that from Mimi. He finds her standing outside the lookout tower waving.
"Mimi?!"
He also noticed the Hypnos crew preparing several satellites around the sides of the tower. Izzy helped to upload the necessary equipment procedure.
"Lord Bebimon! We have to kill all human life in order to restore glory to the entire Tufflesurian race! It's your life long dream, my lord! Don't give up on them!"
"Yes, it is my dream! I shall lead the entire Tufflesurian into a new era of hope! We shall conquer every other race!"
"Look on over towards the tower, Bebimon."
Suddenly, numerous satellite dishes pointed out from each side of the tower's windows. Riley and Talley were loading up the systems, while Izzy and Yamaki were giving instructions on how to activate them.
"Izzy told me that this boost up device for the earth's reflective radiation light. He likes to call it the Brutes Wave."
"Brutes Wave?"
"We're going to boost the ray to one thousand times bigger than it already is and will direct it towards you. You should be able to transform without a necessary spirit."
"But I won't be able to control myself. I don't want to risk killing you all in my feral beast form. Do I really have to change into such a ruthless monster?"
"Bebimon! It's over for you!" Omega X's voice echoed from the heavens.
Bebi-Metalla X turned to find Omega X flying up into the skies once again. He didn't realize that Omega X was preparing another attack during his conversation with Mimi. Omega X aligned himself in position with the earth in the horizon and cupped his hands together.
"TERRA-"
"Now it's our chance! Let that light shine in!" Mimi screamed.
The Hypnos team readied the satellites. They each shot out numerous beams of light. Bebi-Metalla X looked up to find a shower of lights shooting down over him.
"Mimi! Yes! That's it! Keep it coming!"
"Oh no! What now?!" Omega X exclaimed in shock. "What's he planning?!"
The shower of lights engulfed Bebi-Metalla X completely. He screamed out and began his transformation into his beast form. The Tufflesurian's body enlarged. His face became wolf-like in appearance and parts of his body were covered completely by golden fur, save for his body armor, gloves and boots. His eyes were as crimson as blood. A long, brush tail came sprouting from his backside. Bebi-Metalla X immediately finishes his transformation into a beast and lands on the ground with a thunderous force. It was enough to cause the entire planet to tremble under the beast's feet. He stood over the city and uncontrollably began to howl.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
The entire group looked on with utter shock over Bebimon's transformation into a wolf beast. Lady Moinanea clenches her fists tightly and prayed for the sake of Omega X.
"This is not looking good, X!" BW stated. "Bebimon's managed to transform into a beast!"
"I know… Damn, I should have known that power hungry bastard would have pulled this off!"
"Ugh! What is he doing?! Is he trying to destroy his own planet?!" Gosenzomon asked frantically.
"What do you mean, elder?" Shintomon asked.
"Yes. I'd also like to know," said Buddamon.
"Even without a spirit, Bebimon has transformed himself into an out of control monster with no conscience. Not even Super Omega X4 will be enough to stop his wrath."
"No! It can't be!" Lady Moinanea exclaimed. "We can't lose hope in Taichi!"
"Oh, have mercy on his soul," the elder muttered in grief.
Planet Plant
Mimi looks on with satisfaction while witnessing the beast howling. Her eyes started to glow a purple fade and an evil grin forms on her face.
"Yes! Now kill that human parasite! Kill Taichi Kamiya!"
(Play Final Fantasy VII theme during battle with Ultima Weapon)
Bebi-Metalla X began his rampage by smashing around the surrounding buildings relentlessly. It was evident that he had absolutely no control over his composure.
Even Max, Mystic Celesta and the others were stunned by the turn of events. They had seen everything in one day. This was definitely on top of their list of odd occurrences.
"Another monster?! Just how many of these things are there?!" Keke screeched.
"Taichi? What is going on here?! Did you recklessly let Bebimon transform into a beast?!" Pikkan wondered.
"Say what?! That monster is Bebimon? But he needs a spirit to become one! Oh, dad… Where are you?!"
Bebi-Metalla X lifted several fallen debris and tosses them around effortlessly. He turned and lets out a horrifying wolf howl while sending chills down the spines of the weak and scared. He lets loose a breath blast that scatters across the landscape and annihilates it within seconds. Omega X covered his face and watched helplessly.
"Feh. He can't even control that beast form. He's having the same trouble as I was having just a while ago."
Suddenly, Omega X turned around and watches as Bebi-Metalla X delivered a gigantic slap. The powerful force sent Omega X plummeting down. Bebi-Metalla X howls once again in the horizon. Moments later, Omega X lifted himself from the rubble. He looks on with horror as his adversary had turned the tables on him. However, Bebimon might realize that this boost of power might be more difficult to control than previously thought.
"This power is beyond even my imagination," Omega X said. "What am I suppose to do with an uncontrollable beast with a power to destroy a planet?! If he regains his memory, than I'm very well screwed…"
(End theme)
Finally, just as Omega X has reached his final evolution, he comes close to victory but Bebimon has turned the tables on the warrior of courage. The Tufflesurian has transformed into a horrifying monster from hell through the power of Hypnos' Brutes Wave. Can even Super Omega X4 topple the Bebi-Metalla X beast?!

Immortal Monster! The Tufflesurian Werewolf Attacks!
Bebi-Metalla X lifted several fallen debris and tosses them around effortlessly. He turned and lets out a horrifying wolf howl while sending chills down the spines of the weak and scared. He lets loose a breath blast that scatters across the landscape and annihilates it within seconds. Omega X covered his face and watched helplessly.
"Feh. He can't even control that beast form. He's having the same trouble as I was having just a while ago."
Suddenly, Omega X turned around and watches as Bebi-Metalla X delivered a gigantic slap. The powerful force sent Omega X plummeting down. Bebi-Metalla X howls once again in the horizon. Moments later, Omega X lifted himself from the rubble. He looks on with horror as his adversary had turned the tables on him. However, Bebimon might realize that this boost of power might be more difficult to control than previously thought.
"This power is beyond even my imagination," Omega X said. "What am I suppose to do with an uncontrollable beast with a power to destroy a planet?! If he regains his memory, than I'm very well screwed…"
Meanwhile, the Tufflesurian-human crowds were cheering on for their beloved 'lord' taking care of business. Even they realized that the terrifying werewolf titan was their beloved savior, Bebimon. They had previously thought that another beast similar to Omega X's previous monster form had invaded their home. Fortunately for them, it was Bebimon transformed into a complete beast.
"Kill that human! Kill the human!" the crowd chanted ravageously.
Their hatred for Omega X was growing beyond belief, despite to the shock of the digital warrior. He had never seen such spite and malice directed towards me from his own race.
"This madness has got to stop," Omega X muttered. "I can't wait to end this crap. Don't worry, guys. I'll find a way to restore you."
Suddenly, Omega X felt a tremendous ki coming from the beast and feared for the worst. The Tufflesurian city was now taking more damage from the power unleashed by Bebi-Metalla X.
Even more shocked was Mimi. The woman was stunned to witness Bebi-Metalla X wrecking portions of their precious planet. This was not exactly what she or any of the Tufflesurian-humans had in mind. Mimi turns to face the Hypnos crew with an angry sneer.
"What the hell is this?!" Mimi cursed. "I thought there wouldn't be any flaws through his transformation?! He ought to control his beast form, unlike Taichi!"
"The power of the beast is way too powerful for even us to control," replied Izzy. "This is a part of the monster's nature."
"He's right, Mrs. Tachikawa," Talley stated. "Once that beast harnesses this rare power, they cannot control their humanity and are forced to undergo through a violent, animalistic rage."
"So, how long will it take for him to regain his humanity? I need an answer now!"
"Mimi, more stress leads to premature wrinkles," Riley said. "As you should know, Taichi was able to control his beast form in a short time span. It should take Lord Bebimon that same amount of time. As long as he realizes Taichi is the enemy, he will then regain hi sense of humanity."
"I just hope you're right, for you sakes. I won't stand for Lord Bebimon to trash our precious, new planet," Mimi ranted on like a child. "Please, remember who you are, Lord Bebimon!"
"Oh, and one more thing to consider," Izzy spoke up.
"What?"
"Put some damn clothes on! You don't expect to walk around looking like that, do you?"
"What's wrong with it? I think it's good fashion. It suits us beautiful woman on this planet. Don't you think?" Mimi said gleefully.
The woman's eyes were now starting to tear up with joy. Everyone else in the room lowered their heads with sweat drops running across their faces. They were becoming annoyed by her new bimboish attitude.
"Oh bother. What's next?" Palmon thought. "Will she start forcing everyone to wear skimpy clothes?"
Elsewhere across Planet Plant
Max, Keke, Mystic Celesta and everyone else were fleeing away from the scene while the battle was underway. The boy turned as he watched Bebi-Metalla X thrashing around the main Tufflesurian city. He had a worried look on his face and feared for the worst for his father and the possible causalities.
"Oh, dad. Be careful."
"Max! Let's get moving! We'll only get in the way! Let's go!" Pikkan cried out.
"C'mon, Max. Let's give your father some room to work here," Mystic Celesta assured the boy.
Meanwhile, Bebi-Metalla X effortlessly picks up a pile of debris and flung it across the skies. He then turns his attention over towards Mystic Celesta and company. The beast sneers and blasts through the many tall buildings in his path. One by one, each tall structure crumbled and the landscape was becoming incinerated by a large wave of flames.
"Bring it on, hairy!" Max calls out.
"Max! What are you planning to do?! You're going to get yourself killed!" Keke pleaded.
"She's right! You don't even stand a chance," Mystic Celesta said. "We're going to let Tai handle this. We'll come right back whether he needs us. I promise you on that one, Max."
Max paid no attention to anything his aunt and friend had warned him about. However, he kept his eyes focused onto the approaching wolf beast. Pikkan had seen enough and snatches away Max. The boy started kicking away to break himself free of the Alterian's tight grasp.
"Let me go! I have to help my dad!"
"Look, do you want to die? You're father has this under his control. We'll be back just as soon as possible. We need some time to recuperate and think of a good strategy plan to help us take that beast."
"But…"
"He's right, kid! We have to move out!" Gallantmon said.
"I know for sure we can't take him in our present states," said Kaiser Greymon. "Guys. I think I have a good idea. But, I'll require your help."
"Our help?" Magna Garurumon wondered. "Ah, I get it. We'll have to combine our spirits together!"
"Great idea, Takuya!" Zephrymon replied.
"Well, you'll have to save that for later, until then," implied Cyberleomon. "Here he comes!"

Bebi-Metalla X walks through the walls of fire and unleashes a primal roar, which echoes throughout the planet. The warriors stood their ground despite the frightening size of the beast.
As soon as he prepared to attack, Bebi-Metalla X quickly felt a light tap on his left shoulder. He looked over his shoulder to find the unknown source that tapped his shoulder and was with a fist to the forehead. The force behind the punch was enough to rock Bebi-Metalla X.
BAM!
The crew winched as they watched Omega X's fist cause the beast's forehead to become busted wide open. The wolf's face was slowly covered by a crimson mass from a deep gash.
"Sorry, but you're fight is with me, pal," Omega X implied.
In retaliation to his aggressor's attack, Bebi-Metalla X threw out a fist. Omega X flies over the head of the titan and jump kicks him from the back of his head. The beast cries out in pain and turns around to face his enemy. He attempts to snare the fusion warrior, but the smaller warrior was easily able to escape Bebi-Metalla X's clutches. Omega X takes flight towards a nearby tower with Bebimon giving chase to him. The wolf beast smashes through the tower and was unable to locate his adversary. He turns around and was met with a devastating ki blast.
Omega X levitates from out of the heavens with a hand extended out. He grins over his action. Suddenly, the warrior felt a nearby ki and located Calumon wandering around. He had fallen out of Jeri's clutches accidentally.
"Calumon?! What the hell is that little guy still doing here?! He should have left with the others!"
The fusion warrior flies past the beast and manages to catch up to Calumon within a second. Calumon turns around and was astonished by Omega X's appearance.
"Wow. You look shiny, mister!"
"Calumon! I don't have time to play right now! If you stick around here, then you're only increasing your chances of getting decimated. Get going and find the others! This is not a safe place to be at right now!"
"Ahh, but can't I stay to watch you fight?"
"What did I just go through telling you? Look. I bet Jeri is worried about you now, little guy. She could use your company right now. Get going. She'll be worried about you. Besides, we could use you in case everyone else needs to more energy to digivolve."
"Ok! Ok! You got it, Tai!"
"Now get going."
"Right away! Culu! Culu! Zoom!"
"Now, to find a way to beat this guy. Let's see here," the warrior thought.
"I have a good idea, Tai!" Calumon spoke up. "Why don't you use your teleporty thingy? You could take him to that place where you fought the D-Reaper. I forgot the name of that place…"
"That's a great idea, Calumon. Wow, who would have thought I'd be out thought by a butterball like you. Hehe, this is a crazy universe. Thanks a lot, Calumon. Now get going!"
"Right away! Here I go away! Culu! Culu! Zoom!"
With that said, the tiny white digimon flies away into the horizon. He would eventually find everyone else and hide away to leave Omega X to deal with Bebi-Metalla X.
"Yes! That was such an awesome idea! Now, that bastard and myself can settle on the ol' holy planet in Shintomon's dimension. This way I'll reduce the risk of destroying this planet and it's inhabitants. Well, here goes nothing."
Omega X powered up a ki aura and flies over towards the direction of Bebi-Metalla X. His new plan, according to Calumon's advice, was to teleport himself and the beast to the holy planet within the digital universe. This was the same planet where the colossal showdown between Taichi and company dealt with the D-Reaper five years ago.
(End theme)
"This is like deja vu all over again. Ha! Isn't that right, Gosenzomon?! Shintomon?!"
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
As soon as he heard Omega X's declaration, Gosenzomon leaps back and screamed in horror. Shintomon was questioning the warrior's decision to teleport himself along with the beast to the planet.
"WHA?! WHA?! He dares bring that hairy mongrel on this planet?! It took us five earth years to clean up the mess those careless fools had to wreck!"
"Plus, we've just installed some fishing pools into our land," Buddamon muttered.
"No kidding. I think Taichi has lost it," Shintomon said.
"Oh, you guys are going to have to deal with it," X stated promptly. "It's better than leveling the whole planet that they're currently on."
"We're going to have to take the chance," BW replied. "Now, if you were any kind of higher powers, you'd accept the responsibility."
"Yes, but where will we go if we end up losing our home?" Gosenzomon wondered.
"You can just move in with me," Lady Moinanea said. "I have plenty of room in my royal chambers."
"Oh really?" Gosenzomon asked with a blush covering his face. "Um, how about room for a new room mate then?"
"Old man. You are pathetic," BW muttered.
"Now I'm starting to lose respect for that guy," Buddamon said. "He's still sad over Tai not bringing Mimi to him."
Looking on through the viewing orb, X maintained his focus on the battle at hand between Omega X and the Tufflesurian lord.
"C'mon, Tai! I hope you've got an idea through that thick head of yours. Teleporting the beast will not be an easy task."
Planet Plant
Just as Omega X latched himself onto the beast and prepared for his Time Warp teleportation technique, Bebi-Metalla X fires a single finger blast and cuts off the warrior by an inch. Omega X was taken back by the monster's sneak attack as it leveled a nearby mountain. The mountain was reduced to a smothering crater with a massive mushroom cloud forms over the resulting blast.
"That was so close! What?! Ah, crap!"
(Play Lord the Rings Fellowship of the Ring OST theme The Bridge of Khazad Dum)
Omega X looked up towards the heavens and saw Bebi-Metalla X launch a massive black energy ball towards him.
"REVENGE DEATH BALL!"
The gigantic sphere came flying down towards Omega X at a rapid speed. The warrior barely moved away and watched as the sphere penetrated through the landscape. The cataclysmic event resulted in a massive explosion that engulfed nearly the entire three-mile radius. Fortunately, the group had moved away beyond that three-mile radius.
Omega X found himself pushing his way through the debris and looked around in search of his adversary. He suddenly heard laughter echoing from the heavens. Bebi-Metalla X looked down upon Omega X with crossed arms.
"Damn! What the heck was that just now?!"
"Muhaha! Did you really think that I would have been that idiotic to let the beast consume my humanity? Think again, fool! Unlike your primitive mind, I have full control of this beast form. I only did that to throw you off of your game. You're such an idiot."
"You dirty bastard! You were faking it?! You nearly killed your own people from those attacks!"
"They understand my reasons. They shall live on through me! Besides, my blasts were directed only for you. They are no causalities as you can tell. As long as they believe in me, I'll spare their lives. You, on the other hand, shall die."
"But, what about Yamato?! You are using his body after all."
"Yes, I am using that fool's body. It was Yamato and Gabumon that transformed into this beast. I'm still the one in control. That is why I am the one who has full control of the beast."
In response to the beast's revelation, Omega X spat on the ground and pressed his foot on the spit wad.
"I can't wait to crush that head of yours, coward. You don't deserve any mercy."
"Bah! You know what? Who am kidding?! I was destroying this planet just for the fun of it! I thrive for new power and I'm pleased for what is bestowed upon me. I thank the Hypnos crew for their handy work."
"Hypnos? You'll do anything to gain more power, Bebimon. This is getting way out of hand."
"On the contrary, it's just begun."
"Oh, boy. You are asking for an ass kicking. Here, I'll be happy to deliver that to you!"
With that said, Omega X torpedoes himself right towards Bebi-Metalla X while the beast charged forward with his fists balled up. The warrior started the assault as he threw out his fists towards Bebimon's face. But with one hand swipe, Bebi-Metalla X sends Omega X away as if he were a fly. Omega X flies backward, but managed to stop his fall.
Omega X puts his attention back on the task at hand and found no traces of Bebi-Metalla X around the landscape. The beast's speed and power was beyond Omega X's comprehension.
"Where the hell are you?! You're hiding like a coward!"
Suddenly, a hovering shadow looms upon Omega X from above the horizon. Bebi-Metalla X came flying down from the skies with his fists clutched into a clubbing position. Immediately responding to the enemy's approaching ki, Omega X turns around to find the beast coming down at him. He barely maneuvers off to the right side with Bebi-Metalla X coming down with a clubbed fist. The force of his fist created yet another crater through the earth.
The Tufflesurian werewolf snarled while turning around to face Omega X. The warrior of courage was now starting to worry over the fact that his monstrous enemy has tremendous force combined with great strength.
"Aww, what's the matter, Taichi? Are you starting to fear me? Is that fear I smell from you?" the Tufflesurian taunted the warrior. "You should be. Everyone who rebels against me must fear me."
"You're full of it!"
"Don't you get it? I have way more power than you could ever comprehend. You might as well dig up your own grave, because I sure as hell won't dig a grave for a piece of crap."
"Meaning you?"
"Sorry, but you're mistaken. You're that pile of crap. You don't deserve an honorary ceremony! Humans like yourself deserve to die along with your heroic ideals."
Omega X growls angrily, but was prepared for the worst to come. He is willing to do anything he can to defeat this monster. That includes throwing his own life away in the process.
Looking on from the main tower, Mimi kept her eyes onto the battle at hand. She had now changed into a new pair of clothes, after listening to Izzy's request. She now sported a pink t-shirt and a pair of matching color shorts. She has a satisfied grin on her face.
"Looks like you're back to business, Lord Bebimon. Crush that human insect! Destroy him for the sake of the Tufflesurian race!"
Omega X now took advantage of the situation and flies out towards his towering enemy. The warrior spun himself and nails a direct hit right into Bebi-Metalla X's chest cavity. The wolf beast cried out angrily while grasping his chest. Omega X phases over Bebi-Metalla X and throws out rapid punches to his bleeding forehead. Bebi-Metalla X crosses his arms, in hopes of making an immediate recovery. Omega X continuously hammered the Tufflesurian wolf beast. Bebimon growls as his face became twisted with rage. Omega X was now relentless and wasn't going to allow the beast to gain back his advantage from earlier.
"Damn you, Taichi! I'll kill you! If it's the last thing I'll do!"
Bebi-Metalla X unleashes a horrifying howl, which shook the foundations of the surrounding landscape. The only portions of the land that remained were the cities, which Bebimon managed to preserve during the Death Ball blast impact.
The beast pointed his finger and shoots out a beam at Omega X. The warrior reacted quickly and teleported away to a safer location. The blasts were strong enough to level numerous nearby buildings and reduced them to rubble. Bebi-Metalla X was losing focus of his eyesight after Omega X had rammed his fists into his face.
"Where the hell are you?! I can still sense your ki! Plus your stench stinks of that of a human!"
Omega X distanced himself away while he witnessed the beast walking towards the city. There were many groups of civilians looking on from the distance. Omega X looked over to the civilians and was able to immediately identify them. He saw none other than Sora and Biyomon.
"Oh no! SORA!"
(End theme)
Five miles away from the city area
Mystic Celesta and Pikkan led the group of heroes through the landscape. However, something has caught Max's complete attention and his keen hearing could hear the echoes of his father's screams. The boy stopped for a moment and turned around.
"Max? What-"
"Sorry, Aunt Kari, but we can't continue on like this! My parents are in trouble!"
"But, Max!" Keke pleaded. "You're dad will-"
"Don't argue with me! I'm going to see what the deal is! Besides, what if my mother is out there and happens to get in the way of my dad's fight! I'm sorry but I can't let this continue on!"
With that said, Max creates a ki aura and flies off into the distance. This did not make Pikkan any happier as he attempted to give chase to him. Mystic Celesta puts her hand out to prevent the Alterian from giving chase to the boy.
"Hikari! What is the meaning of this?"
"Leave this to me, Pikkan. You and everyone else remain here for now. Takato. You and the legendary warriors can be our trump cards in case we fail," Mystic Celesta gave strict orders. "You leave Max with me. I'll take full responsibility."
"Fine. Just make sure to communicate with me through the usual telepathy."
"Of course. Wish me luck."
Mystic Celesta powers up and takes off into the distance while following out Max's ki. Pikkan walks back to the group and nods his head.
"Ok, guys. You heard her! We'll be kicking some ass again! Until then…"
"Maybe you ought to leave this to us," Kaiser Greymon spoke up. "We have one trump card that just might help us out."
"Name it," Cyberleomon demanded to know. "Will it be enough to challenge Bebimon at his current state?"
"Probably, but it's our only shot," Magna Garurumon said. "We used this form to defeat Lucemon."
"Then we'll definitely need it," Gallantmon replied. "Sakuyamon. We'll lend them a hand, too. Are you with me?"
"Anything to get back at that freak for turning me into a slave of his sick ideals," Sakuyamon said.
"Good. We have everything prepared then. This is our last shot at Bebimon if Taichi fails," Pikkan said. "Let's hope this works."
Back onto the battlesite
Omega X watched in horror as Bebi-Metalla X approached the city filled with innocent civilians. This included his wife, Sora, and Biyomon. He flies out to prevent Bebi-Metalla X to plow through the city.
"Sora! Biyomon! Get out of there!"
"DAD!"
Suddenly, Omega X turned around to find a source of light speeding towards him. It was none other than his son, Max. Driven by the love for his parents, Max flew out with indescribable speed and made it over with little time. Even Omega X was taken back by his son's newfound speed, yet he was upset that Max disobeyed his orders.
"Max! What are you doing here?!"
"There's no time for that how, dad! Mom's in trouble!"
"On no! Sora!" Omega X screamed from the top of his lungs. "Hang on!"
Soon, Bebi-Metalla X directed his blast towards the spot where Sora and Biyomon were standing. Omega X quickly phases out and made in time to snare his wife and her digimon away. With another usage of his teleportation, they managed to escape the enormous blast. Bebi-Metalla X was appalled at the turn of events. Omega X quickly sets both Sora and Biyomon over where Max was standing. They had both passed out from the shock of the events.
Just then, Max turned to find Mystic Celesta landing where he and Omega X stood. She kneeled next to her brother and lays her hand on Sora's chest.
"Don't worry, Max. Your mom is just out of it. She'll be fine," the female assured her nephew.
"Agreed. Those after effects merely put them into shock. You two look after them while I deal with this bastard," the warrior gave his orders.
The two nodded their heads and remained where they were to watch over the pair's conditions. Meanwhile, Omega X takes flight and stops to where Bebi-Metalla X stood off. The warrior stared down the beast with an angry sneer with a calm anger building up within his heart.
"That was intentionally meant for my wife! You dare to mess with my family, you heartless bastard? You're ass is so grass."
The Tufflesurian lord began to laugh hysterically, which only further angered Omega X beyond his control. The warrior of courage quickly powers up as a bright, red aura enveloped his entire form.
"What the hell is so damn funny?! Answer me now!"
"Idiot. You can blow off all that steam all you want. It won't make a difference after what I plan on doing to your precious planet."
"What?!"
"Look towards the horizon, genius. You see that oh-so beautiful blue planet?!"
Suddenly, finally realizing what the beast meant, his eyes widened and turned around to find the planet earth looming across the horizon. He gasped in disbelief and lowers his head in utter shame.
"You wouldn't. Earth is defenseless against any sort of offensive attack. It won't even defend itself against your ferocious assault. Don't you dare resort to such a cowardly tactic? I WILL NOT LET YOU!"
"Feh, I don't give a damn! Earth is such a waste. This planet is more fitting to my tastes. Besides, I have no use for anymore disposable Tufflesurians. This planet has enough as it is!"
"That's the reason you're going to waste such a beautiful planet? But how can you create a energy attack fast enough to get by me? I doubt that you have any attack that can travel out from here to the next planet. You don't seem like the type to implement such a tactical maneuver. You're simply insane."
"Insane or not. It's what I'm about to do! Feast your eyes and pay attention, primitive ape! I will only do this once!"
"Don't do it! The humans are defenseless!"

Despite his pleads, the heartless beast cupped his hands to the side and holds them out near his right side. He gathers forth a large amount of dark ki energy and condenses it into the form of a sphere. The energy sphere was vastly growing into the size of a large canyon boulder. Omega X remained where he was and did not take an eye off his enemy. He felt frozen at his place and unsure of what course of action to take against the unpredictable were beast.
"Now! Let's give this technique a little test run! Super Devil's Ray!"
With that said, the Tufflesurian lord pushed forward and sent the energy force hurtling towards the planet's atmosphere. He managed to compress the sphere into a massive energy blast. Omega X now takes advantage over the disastrous situation at the last minute. He immediately uses his Time-Warp technique and retaliates with his trademark energy attack.
"Damn! I have no choice! TERRA BEAM!"
The two super powers' blasts collided with one another into an overwhelming struggle. The force of their attacks was strong enough to cause the entire planet to tremble under their sheer power. Omega X continued to put forth more power through his Terra Beam, but it still failed to push away Bebi-Metalla X's Super Devil's Ray. The beast's attack was strong enough to push itself through the Terra Beam and absorb it along the way. Omega X flies off to the side and watched as the energy beam shot itself through the planet's atmosphere. The beam soars across space and goes past Earth. It flies across and makes contact with a moon. It explodes within seconds and nothing was left but space dust.
Luckily for Omega X, the energy blast narrowly missed Earth. But he knew that the beast would eventually make Earth his primary target.
"Ha! Target practice! I needed to know if my aim was any good. That moon was merely used for my experiment."
"Bastard…"
"Oh, don't sweat it, Taichi. I was just holding back for my own amusement. Be glad I didn't target your precious home planet, because I'm going to be targeting it next."
"You were planning on toying with me. Big mistake, Bebimon."
"Yes. I'm going to have plenty of fun toying with you, Taichi. All those poor helpless souls won't know what hit them."
"No! You've pushed me too far, Bebimon. You just wasted your hopes of me sparing your life, but you don't deserve to live. You're just a parasite… a waste of living space."
"Don't you ever shut up?!"
"I'm not going to stand seeing you killing innocent people who can't defend themselves. You converted them into your own race! You're a traitor to your own kind and nothing more than a hypocrite to your own ideals!"
"Shut up!"
"They don't deserve to be slaughtered like sheep."
As soon as he said that, Omega X felt an overwhelming anger building inside of his pure heart. Max and Mystic Celesta felt the warrior's power increasing dramatically.
"Wow, do you feel it that, Aunt Kari?"
"Leave him have it, big brother."
(End theme)
Even Bebi-Metalla X felt his enemy's power increasing and was not pleased. Omega X's hands slowly started to emit a crimson aura as he formed a light blue energy ball through his palms. He puts his hands together with his eyes becoming possessed with vengeance.
"You nearly killed those people! My friends, family and fellow digimon are down there as we speak! If you hadn't missed on purpose, you would have destroyed my planet just as you have done away with that moon! I've had it with you!"
"Ha! What are you going to do about it, Taichi?!"
"As the warrior of courage, I still not stand for such an act of cowardice! I'm ending your life, asshole!"
(Play Inuyasha OST 2 theme Inuyasha Transformed)
The warrior's voice had now transformed from a low, calm manner into a loud, demonic roar. There was still a proportion of his beast power flowing through him. His cupped hands were now positioned for attack towards Bebi-Metalla X.
"Now! Pay attention! I'm going to amp my Terra Beam! To be more specific, I'm amping it up TEN FOLD!"
"What?! Ten fold?!"
Omega X cries out for his coveted technique and makes complete eye contact with the beast. The two locked eyes with one another without distractions to hold them back. This was their moment. One sported an expression of pure rage and hatred while the other was scared out of hit wits.
"Burn in hell, Bebimon! TERRA BEAM! TIME TEN!"
"What?! No way! My dad is doing the impossible! He's never done a Terra Beam above Times Ten!" Max exclaimed.
"You're right! His maximum that a Terra Beam can ever hope to reach was at a mere level five!" Mystic Celesta replied. "Let him have it, Tai!"
"Flatten that monster, dad!"
Bebi-Metalla X looked on as the massive Terra Beam started spreading wide apart, in order to engulf the beast completely. He screamed out and put his hands out in order to stop it at its tracks. Meanwhile, Omega X maintained his focus on not only keeping such a powerful and energy straining attack, but had to target Bebi-Metalla X from a perfect angle. If he misses this, then his attack will all be for nothing and a waste of energy. Suddenly, he looks back to many visual memories of Matt during his lifetime. Including those from the first adventure to the times of growing up.

"Yamato. I'm truly sorry it has to come to this. I had promised Keke that I wouldn't destroy your body. I'm sorry, Keke. Max, I hope you won't hate me for this. There was no other way. I'll never forgive myself for this. Yamato… I bet you would have wanted to end this way."
With that said, a teardrop trickles down from Omega X's right eye while concentrating on his energy attack. Bebi-Metalla X managed to hold out his hands to fend off the gigantic beam, but he was becoming overwhelmed as it is.
"Ha! You seem to be forgetting something, Taichi! I'm an immortal monster! You can't win! You're the one who's going to die!"
In retaliation, Bebi-Metalla X powers up and unleashes another one of his most powerful techniques. He opens his snout and spits out a spiral-like blast.
"Super Gattling Spiral!"
Omega X looks on as the spiral-like beam went head-on with the Ten-Times Terra Beam. The warrior was doing everything within the fiber of his being to prevent the blast from flying through the atmosphere and colliding with the Earth. Their energy attacks exploded with one another and were cancelled out as a result. Omega X was caught by the massive explosion and was sent plummeting towards the ground.
"Tai! Oh no! Tai!" cried out Mystic Celesta.
"Dad! No! That's just not possible!" Max screamed out. "What if we can't win… Bebimon is too much even for us…"
"I'm not losing hope, Max. Neither should you. Remember, I'm still here whether my brother needs me. The others will be on their way as we speak."
"I hope so! C'mon, dad! You have to get back on your feet and make a comeback!"
"Pikkan, Everyone. What's taking you so long? You should have been here minutes ago."
Tears slowly started to swell up around the boy's eyes. He looks up towards Bebi-Metalla X with sheer hatred. The boy clenched his fists while holding onto the unconscious form of Sora. Bebi-Metalla X cackled like a madman possessed, but has yet to truly finish off the fusion warrior.
Mimi looks on with a satisfied grin with the Hypnos crew standing behind her.
"What just happened? Did Lord Bebimon finally destroy Taichi?" Yamaki asked.
"No, but feast your eyes on this! Our lord is preparing to lay waste to that no good human! He's going to squish him like the cockroach that he is! I hope you die, Taichi. You've gotten on our last nerves."
Meanwhile, Omega X was found laid out unconscious around fallen debris. The Tufflesurian beast laughed hysterically and was prepared to deliver the final blow to the fallen warrior. He gathered more energy and prepared for another shot of his Super Devil's Ray.
Omega X has done everything in his power to stump Bebimon and restore peace to the two worlds. However, the tide has turned against our hero and luck has once again favored the Tufflesurian lord. Will the others make it over in time to save Taichi? As Bebi-Metalla X prepares the finishing blow, is there any hope of ending his madness?

Tai: Hi, everyone! It's me, Tai! Well, it doesn't look like I'm going to have an easy fight with this monster! But just as things start turning for the worst, Bebimon suddenly gets a small dosage of the after affects of my Times Ten terra Beam.
Max: Whoa! A double knockout?!
Mystic Celesta: This should give the others time to arrive!
Gosenzomon: Goody! Now, Shintomon. I want you to go with Lady Moinanea to her home planet to gather the Holy Water. We can use it to restore everyone from under Bebimon's spell!
Shintomon: Of course! Let us get going, my lady.
Lady Moinanea: The holy water has never been used on a human, but it's worth a shot.
Buddamon: We can also use the holy water to revive War Angemon and the children.
Bebi-Metalla X: I've been revived by Hypnos' technology. Now I can finish where I left off!
Multi-fused voice: I don't think so, Bebimon! You'll have to deal with me first!
Bebi-Metalla X: Who are you?
Susannoomon: Just call us, Suannoomon. We are the ultimate unification of the ten legendary warriors that brought down Lucemon.
Gallantmon: Next chapter is entitled…
A Double Knock Out?! Susanoomon Takes Center Stage!
Omega X: Thanks Susannoomon… Now I can recover my strength and pick up where I left off.
Kanius: Looks like you'll be getting Susannoomon earlier than expected! He should bring the good fight to Bebimon! Let's just see if he'll help Omega X recover his strength. Sorry I haven't gotten around to this story, but I've had plenty of work to do with my Pharaohmon series. I'll be putting the finishing touches to this one for good. Until then, peace out!

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
A Double Knock Out?! Susanoomon Takes Center Stage!
Bebi-Metalla X cackled like a madman possessed, but has yet to truly finish off the fusion warrior.
Mimi looks on with a satisfied grin with the Hypnos crew standing behind her.
"What just happened? Did Lord Bebimon finally destroy Taichi?" Yamaki asked.
"No, but feast your eyes on this! Our lord is preparing to lay waste to that no good human! He's going to squish him like the cockroach that he is! I hope you die, Taichi. You've gotten on our last nerves."
Meanwhile, Omega X was found laid out unconscious around fallen debris. The Tufflesurian beast laughed hysterically and was prepared to deliver the final blow to the fallen warrior. He gathered more energy and prepared for another shot of his Super Devil's Ray.
Suddenly, the beast felt queasy and started to lose focus on his prime target. His body quickly started to ache from the inside. Omega X slowly starts to move about and regains his senses. He looks up at the towering Bebi-Metalla X suddenly losing control of his own composure.
Bebi-Metalla X's form starts sparking with streaks of energy blasts. He immediately falls to the ground and onto his knees.
Even Max and Mystic Celesta were wondering how this suddenly happened to Bebi-Metalla X. They weren't expecting this to happen.
"What the?! But how did he just get hurt? I don't remember dad attacking him while he was unconscious. Unless my dad knows how to invade another person's mind," Max asked with confusion.
"Wait. I get it now. That Ten-Times Terra Beam did inflict damage on Bebimon," Mystic Celesta explained. "He just couldn't see when Tai actually got a shot in. They're merely delayed effects. In other words, they're taking their toll on Bebimon's body."
"Oh, wow. I didn't know that. Dad knows how to play the game well."
The Tufflesurian beast was on his knees while attempting to catch his breath. He felt exhausted after taking such a devastating blow from his adversary's Ten-Times Terra Beam technique.
"No! This can't be! My body should have withstood that bastard's technique! How was he able to pull off such power?! I thought I had done him in! My body… is in pain… I've never endured this much pain… ever…"
"You really don't get it. Do you?" a voice muttered from out of nowhere.
"Damn you, Taichi! So, you managed to exploit the strategy to controlling such a powerful form of energy?! You concentrated on that energy! That is how you dealt the blow to me! The reserves of your Terra Beam detonated and brought me down. I must say… I really didn't think you'd pull off such a sneaky technique!"
"In that case, why don't we both take a break?"
"I'll show you a break!"
The beast cackled towards his adversary, but the warrior only managed to sport a grin. The two super powers jumped onto their feet. Omega X threw out his right fist, as did Bebi-Metalla X. Their fists collided with one another and quickly managed to knock each other out. Omega X fell backwards in an unconscious state. The Tufflesurian lord suffered the same fate and was laid out unconscious just like his adversary. The two colossal powers fell and were ultimately laid out.
Looking on with stunned expressions, Max and Mystic Celesta couldn't believe how quickly they knocked each other out. Though, it wasn't much of a surprise since both had lost a large amount of energy and were already showing signs of fatigue.
"My gosh… Is there any freaking limit to their powers?!" Max wondered.
"No, Max. I'm willing to bet that they would have demonstrated more, but we won't know for sure. They've already laid each other out. You know what? This gives us plenty of time to wait for the others to get here."
"You're right, but what about dad?"
"I'm sure he'll be fine the way he is. Besides, Bebimon can't do anything in his current state. Now, c'mon. Let's go and bring our friends over here."
"You don't have to tell me twice, Aunt Kari."
As the two set off into the distance, the winds began to blow amongst the battleground where the two galactic-powered warriors were laying. Bebi-Metalla X was literally out like a light bulb, but the same goes for Omega X. There was absolutely not limit to their powers. This was merely the 'calming of the storm', which meant that there was more to offer from these two gladiators.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
The higher powers looked on through their viewing orb with stunned expressions. Even X and BW were astonished by the double knock out result. Lady Moinanea's mouth literally dropped as she lies back. She lets out a sigh of relief.
"Whew, man, that was close… I thought Taichi wouldn't have pulled that off," the demigoddess said.
"X! Did you see that?! I can't believe that's the same guy I went toe to toe with before."
"Now you know who you were dealing with, right?" X asked. "Right?"
"I can't deny that."
"I still can't believe this has ended on a double KO," Shintomon stated.
"Taichi needs our help, Gosenzomon!" Buddamon said. "We will have to go down there and revive him."
"Even with your extraordinary healing powers, it still won't be enough to revive a highly-powered being like Omega X at his fourth level," Gosenzomon explained. "Even we have our limitations."
"But Taichi still needs our aid," Lady Moinanea informed the elder.
"I'm afraid not my lady. I have an even better idea to solve our troubles," said Gosenzomon. "Lady Moinanea. Do you still have your holy water?"
"Ah! Yes! I do still have it in my possession. It's back on my home planet."
"In that case, I shall accompany you, Lady Moinanea," Shintomon said. "Allow me, sir."
"Very well then. You two grab the holy water as quickly as you can."
"Question, pops. What do we need this holy water for?" BW asked.
"It's simple. This holy water was used to relieve warriors being possessed by evil spirits."
"So, it wasn't merely a legend?" wondered Buddamon.
"No. Otherwise I wouldn't have been bestowed with it," Lady Moinanea said. "I sealed it away once the Great Wars between the human and beast digimon went underway. Lucemon nearly took possession of it. So I had to take repercussions."
"You two better get going," X said. "There's no telling whether that freak decides to wake up from his beauty sleep."
"Yes, please do hurry," the elder proclaimed.
Shintomon gave them an assuring nod and puts his hand on Lady Moinanea's right shoulder. The higher digimon pinpoints the location of the Western Digital World and immediately phases out with the demigoddess.
"Let's just hope that this holy water will work. What do you intend to do with this holy water?" asked Buddamon.
"We're going to use it to revive Takeru and the children. Then, we'll use it to cure every single human infected by Bebimon's seeds."
"Duh. Even I knew that," X muttered. "If we hope to defeat Bebimon, we need everyone to lend a hand."
"Exactly my point. Now, those two had better grab that holy water and not fool around. I did notice that Shintomon has a thing for our Lady Moinanea."
"Elder? You think so?" Buddamon said. "Shintomon in love?! Well, that's something I thought would never happen. He's been quite lonely…"
"Oh that dog! I knew he'd find a woman! That boy has taste!" Gosenzomon chuckled.
"As long as he doesn't turn out to be a pervert like yourself," X muttered.
"Believe me. He won't. I'll teach him a thing or two on how to respect the ladies."
"Wow, that's saying a lot to an elder who keeps pornos in his cupboard," Buddamon said promptly.
"I resent!"
"Well, Shintomon. It's up to you and Lady Moinanea to save the day. We're counting on you to bring that holy water," X said. "But you'd better hurry. I don't know how much longer those two will remain knocked out."
Digital World. Western Sector. Forest Terminal
Shintomon and Lady Moinanea found themselves in the middle of the forests leading to Seraphimon's castle. With her guidance, the demigoddess led the higher digimon through the forest and towards the gates.
"Wow, this is quite a magnificent view. Seraphimon's castle, I presume?"
"Yes. It was originally my palace until I was sealed away. Seraphimon took over after me and was bestowed the reasonability to hide away the holy water from evil entities such as Lucemon."
"Do you think he still has possession of the water?"
"I'm very sure that he does. I'm the one who handed him the container. Now, let us get going."
With that said, Lady Moinanea waved her hand across the sealed gates and easily opened them up. The pair walks through the open gates and looked around their surroundings. The beauty of the garden and the palace structure amazed Shintomon. It was basically a visionary appearance of heaven itself. Lady Moinanea steps through the doors of the palace as Shintomon followed along.
"These are some nice decorations you have here, my lady."
"We don't have time to be sight seeing. Seraphimon! Seraphimon!"
The pair walked the path down the hallways and ultimately walks into the main throne room. Sitting on his main throne was the main angel guardian himself, Seraphimon. Lady Moinanea walks over to the middle of the throne room and bows before Seraphimon.
"Lady Moinanea. What a pleasant surprise to see you here. I thought you would have remained with… Lord Shintomon?"
"Greetings Seraphimon."
"Shintomon. It's… It's an honor to finally have a higher being such as yourself to grace your presence here."
"Yes and thank you for the praise. But we're running out of time."
"Seraphimon. We're in a tight situation. We will need the holy water. Bebimon has been creating a crisis at the human world."
"Bebimon? You mean Dr. Myuumon's creation?"
"Yes and he's already taken the body of a powerful monster. He's even managed to infect nearly every human with seeds."
"This is an emergency. Yes. The holy water is right," Seraphimon replied.
The angel lord holds up a container with a Kanji symbol printed on the front. He hands Lady Moinanea the container and salutes her.
"Thank you, Seraphimon. I am forever indebted to you."
"Now, let us get going, my lady."
"Yes, Taichi and the others need this as soon as possible. Seraphimon. I shall return."
Seraphimon nods in comply and sat back on his throne. Shintomon puts his hand on Lady Moinanea's left shoulder and teleports out with her.
"Good luck, you two. Destroy the Tufflesurian and get rid of his existence."
Planet Plant
Back on the battlefield, the two super powers were still knocked unconscious. Neither one looked like they were going to be rising to their feet. Strong winds blew across the landscape and scattered dust onto their bodies.
Elsewhere away from the fallen beast warriors, Shintomon eventually appears in the middle of nowhere. He and the demigoddess picked up on a pair of dying kis.
"Do you feel that, Shintomon?"
"Yes. Those energy signals belong to Takeru and the children. They're close by. Let's see here. Takeru is the closest. Let's get going!"
"Right!"
The pair scurried across through the barren landscape while following out War Angemon's dying ki. The higher digimon looks over to find a fallen angel warrior. Shintomon points out to him and hurries over with the holy water container.
"Who is this, Shintomon?"
"That's Takeru and he's currently in his fused form. That is War Angemon and he's the husband to the DigiDestined known as Hikari."
"Hikari? Taichi's sister?"
"That's right."
"Wow. He's got quite a strong power," Lady Moinanea implied. "Let us hurry and revive this warrior."
"Yes and then we'll revive his children: Tike and Kara."
"Understood."
As soon as she said that, the demigoddess hands Shintomon the container. Shintomon kneels over War Angemon's form and opens the container's top. He lifts the angel warrior's head and pours a dosage of holy warrior down his gullet. War Angemon slowly starts coughing while sitting up from his long sleep.
"Ah! It's working! The evil ki is being erased," Lady Moinanea said with glee.
"That's a good sign. Takeru, it's me. How are you feeling?"
"What? Shintomon? Um, who is this chick?"
"Let's save the introductions for later, Takeru. You're friends are in danger."
"You're right, Shintomon. I remember Bebimon planting a dark seed in my body and… the kids! Shintomon! We have to go find the kids!"
"We'll find them! They are not too far off from here," the higher digimon replied. "They're right over towards this right direction. Follow me out."
With that said, Shintomon led his two accomplices through the barren landscape in search of the children. Their kis were not too far out from where War Angemon was laid out. They had very little time and needed to gather as many allies in case Bebimon manages to awaken from his unconscious state.
Eventually, they stopped to find the fallen bodies of the children. War Angemon points out to them and takes the holy warrior container.
"I'll revive them, Shintomon. If you will let me do the honors…"
"Of course."
War Angemon flies over to the fallen children with the container. He kneeled next to Kara and slips several drops of the holy water through her mouth. Once he finished with the girl, War Angemon revived his son.
"Dad? Wha- What happened?" Kara asked.
"There's no time to explain, Kara. We have to find your mother. It's time we seal the deal with Bebimon once and for all."
"Ah, good. The children will be all right," Lady Moinanea said. "Shintomon. I suggest we move out to the city. I was feeling the presence of a massively evil power."
"That was Bebimon. I agree. There's no time to lose. Takeru!"
"Right! C'mon, kids. It's payback time for ol' Bebimon!"
"You know I'm there," Tike said. "Let's kick some ass, Kara."
"You don't have to tell me twice."
"I really need to do something about their foul mouths," War Angemon said in thought.
Back on the battlefield
Elsewhere across the planet, rain was immediately starting to downpour over the area where both Omega X and Bebi-Metalla X were left laying. Both fighters were still laid out from the double KO that they inflicted to one another. Neither fighter looked like they were about to rise anytime soon.
Mimi looks on from the main tower with a paranoid look on her face. She pounds her fists on the post and turns around to make eye contact with the Hypnos crew.
Hey! You lazy asses better get those satellites ready! Do you hear me?! Lord Bebimon can't even move! Give him more energy from those Brutes Waves! He has a chance to crush that insect!"
"Yes. We're setting them up. The satellites are already charging up to full power. This should be quite an ampful of energy required for Lord Bebimon at his current state," Izzy stated.
"Read to fire, Izzy," Yamaki implied.
"And we're locked on," announced Riley.
The team activated the satellites and positioned them over the fallen beast. The satellites fire numerous rays of energy. The Tufflesurian werewolf's body was being engulfed by the Brutes Waves. His power was quickly be reenergized and restored intact.
"Lord Bebimon! Arise! Arise and kill Taichi! Kill him!" Mimi hissed with malice. "You can't fail us! You're our Tufflesurian lord! You will set us free from this human scum!"
Unfortunately for them, the same concentrated Brutes Waves was absorbed through Omega X's reptilian tail. The fused warrior was being reenergized immediately. Bebi-Metalla X opened his eyes to find himself lying on the ground. He arises from his slumber and stretches out his arms. The Tufflesurian lord cackled with deep laughter.
"Mimi! Thank you! The Brutes Wave has really proven to be quite the battery tool. You shall definitely be nominated as my queen."
"Oh! Did you hear that?! He's declaring me as his beloved queen! Oh what a dream come true!" Mimi giggles with delight.
"Oh boy. Aren't we just excited?" Izzy muttered. "If she keeps this up, she'll become an even bigger power-hungry egomaniac than Lord Bebimon himself. A very scary sight… shudder"
Meanwhile, Bebi-Metalla X raises his fists and unleashes a terrifying howl. The overwhelming energy around him erupts and creates strong winds, which started to uplift everything across the landscape. The entire Tufflesurian planet trembled as a result of the beast's power up.
Mimi. I will declare you my new queen as soon as I crush this annoying insect. Now prepare yourself for death, Taichi."
"I'm afraid. You'll have to cancel those plans, Bebimon!" a voice calls out.
"What? Who dare opposes my authority?!"
The Tufflesurian beast turns to find Mystic Celesta and Max facing him down from the far distance. He peered even further to see Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Pikkan and Beelzebumon. Cyberleomon and Jeri came out of hiding with Calumon. Finally, the six Chosen Children stood in a circle formation as if they were performing a ritual. The whole gang had finally gotten together to settle the score with Bebimon.
"Well, if it isn't the whole gang! Have you come here to repent for your sins? I can forgive you and convert each of you into Tufflesurians."
"Not a chance, pal!" Takuya retorted. "You're not going to force any conversion crap onto us."
"You don't know who you're dealing with," Kouji said. "We're going to seal the deal on your reign of terror."
"Ha! What are you going to do? Give another crappy, heroic speech?!"
"No, but if you shut up then these six will demonstrate," Gallantmon said.
"These six children? I suppose the legendary warriors want a crack shot at me again! Face the facts! You can't defeat me!"
"Then, we'll just have to bring the fight to you then!" Kouichi cried out. "Ready, guys?!"
"You know I'm ready as I ever will be!" the leader of the Chosen Children replied.
"Then bring on your worst!" Bebi-Metalla X exclaimed.
"EXECUTE! ANCIENT SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
(Play Digimon Frontier Hyper Spirit Evolution theme The Last Element)
With that said, the six Chosen Children held up their D-Tectors in unison. Each device sets off column of lights and united their spirit elements together. All twelve spirits, beast and human alike, united together to combine themselves. The six children were pulled into the column of light and merged into a new body. The new body grew into gigantic proportions and stood as tall as the main tower itself. The spirits encircled the body and dispersed across the form.
First, a piece of armor with Magna Garurumon's head attached itself onto the form's right arm. More pieces of armor attached themselves onto the legs and along came an armor piece with Kaiser Greymon's head attaching to the left arm. As soon as his body was covered by dark red armor with yellow stripes scattered across, the head forms. A helmet-like crown forms at the top of its head with a symbol. A mouth mask covers its lower face and a pair of eyes opened to get a view of its enemy. His lower waist was covered by a blue armor as was his feet. A pair of black glove hands came sprouting out from the heads. The transformation came to an end once a circular ring attached itself on the titan's back. The warrior finally exposes itself and completes its evolution. The unified spirit warrior lets out a cry as he calls out his official name.
"SUSANOOMON!"
Yes, this is the unified spirit warrior that stood up to Lucemon and slain the former tyrant. The Tufflesurian lord stood his ground and made complete eye contact with Susanoomon.
"Behold! The instrument to your destruction, Bebimon! I am the Warrior of Peace, Susanoomon!"
(Digi-Analyzer: Susanoomon. 'Hyper' Mega Level. God Man Digimon. Special Techniques: Celestial Blade & Eight Thunder Gods)
"Whoa! Awesome!" Max said ecstatically.
"You're not kidding! I didn't know Takuya and the others were capable of this!" proclaimed Keke.
"Sakuyamon… Um… Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Gallantmon managed to choke out.
"Yeah… They surprise me… Here I thought they were jerking our chains."
"Leomon? You have anything to say about this?" Jeri asked.
"Their combined strength matches even that of Omega X himself! Incredible and this only was the result from the spirit unification!"
"My gosh… Those kids really are something else," Mystic Celesta said. "Maybe I ought find my own spirit just for the heck of it."
"All right, Susanoomon. I've heard the rumors about you from Azulongmon," Pikkan muttered in thought. "Let's see if you are really worth the hype. I'll say this… Lucemon was no Bebimon."
Susanoomon steps out onto the battlefield and faces off with the titanic werewolf beast. Bebi-Metalla X examines his adversary and felt his overwhelming ki flowing through his magnificent form.
"Interesting. All of the spirits unify to form one warrior? So you're the one who defeated Lucemon. It's an honor to finally be graced by your presence. This is quite the rare occasion. But you will realize that Lucemon was nothing more than an insect compared to me. I will not be done in by arrogant pride like that fool. I learn from my mistakes and carry out on my threats."
"Well then. Why don't you demonstrate that for us then?"
"Gladly."
Bebi-Metalla X charges forward and collides with Susanoomon. The titans clashed with one another and traded blows. Each fist connected with one another and created shockwaves. Bebi-Metalla X leaps backwards with Susanoomon in hot pursuit of the were beast.
"Come back here, coward!"
The beast chuckles and launched himself forward. He managed to execute a spear-like maneuver and takes Susanoomon down. He presses his weight and held the ancient warrior down. He struggles to sit up, but Bebi-Metalla X pressed more weight on him. He follows it up by driving a barrage of fists across Susanoomon's face.
"C'mon, Susanoomon!" Max cheered. "You can take this punk!"
Susanoomon responds to the boy's pleas and quickly snatches Bebi-Metalla X by his neck. He tosses the beast aside and sits up with authority. He charges forward and delivers a running clothesline, which nearly decapitated the were beast. Susanoomon leaps up and drives an elbow drop into Bebi-Metalla X's chest cavity. The beast screams out in pain as the elbow sunk deeper into his chest. The Warrior of peace gets up and grabs the beast by his wolf tail.
"I hope you're ready for a little ride!"
With that said, Susanoomon hoisted Bebi-Metalla X by his tail and spun around. The warrior spins around faster and faster until he threw Bebi-Metalla X across the devastated city.
"Whoo! It's good!" Keke exclaimed.
"It's not over yet," said Mystic Celesta. "Bebimon's energy is still very strong."
"Don't take your eyes off of him," Pikkan said. "You can't underestimate this bastard's resiliency."
Susanoomon looks across the battlefield and tries to feel out on Bebimon's ki. He felt little to nothing of his enemy's energy. Suddenly, a large burst of energy came shooting out from beyond the horizon. The warrior turns and is sent scaling back by the energy shot.
"Ugh! What the heck?!"
Susanoomon quickly spotted Bebi-Metalla X charging forward. The warrior of peace held out his hands and pushes back against the beast's overwhelming strength. Susanoomon retaliates and delivers a head butt across Bebimon's forehead. The beast lets out a primal scream, as his forehead was busted open.
The warrior slams a barrage of fists into Bebi-Metalla X and sends him soaring up into the heavens. Susanoomon takes off into the heavens and delivers an elbow smash into his face. Bebi-Metalla X is sent plummeting down towards the terrain, but he manages to stop himself in time. Bebi-Metalla X retaliates and fires a large blast through his snout.
"Super Gattling Spiral!"
Susanoomon stops his dive as soon as the spiral blast came hurtling towards him. The warrior puts up his guard and takes the energy shot head on.
(Theme fades during dialogue)
"Oh no! He used this on my dad!" Max exclaimed. "Now because of him, my dad is gone…"
"What? You're giving up your old man already?!"
Suddenly, this caught everyone by attention as Omega X was seen sitting on a pile of debris. The warrior sported a grin on his face. Bebi-Metalla X turns around and gasped in utter horror to find his most hated adversary.
"YOU?! But, how?!"
"If I were you, I'd pay attention to your opponent."
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X turns back to face Susanoomon and watches as his spiral blast was sent flying through the atmosphere. The warrior of peace comes down with a body slam onto the Tufflesurian beast.
Gallantmon and Sakuyamon rush over to Omega X. The warrior of courage turns to face them.
"Tai! It's good that you're still alive," Gallantmon said. "Now, care to explain where you've been?"
"I was just having a little nap."
"Tai! This isn't time to joke around! We still have a maniac to get rid of first!" Sakuyamon exclaimed.
"Chill out, guys. Bebimon and I knocked each other out. Just call it an old fashioned 'double knockout'. Hypnos' Brutes Waves revived Bebimon, but my tail managed to absorb some of that energy. Let's just say that I was lucky."
"So, you can still go out there and take Bebimon apart, right?" Max asked.
"Well, call me crazy, but I don't stand a chance."
His statement caused everyone to nearly face fault, but Omega X was completely serious about his sudden revelation.
"Maintaining this form really takes a lot of energy out of me. I can only manage one Five-times Terra Beam. I can't exceed anything past that level."
"Yeah that must be hard for you," said Gallantmon. "Why not let us take over from here?"
"You can gather up more of your power like that you know."
"Good point, Rika. You two assist Susanoomon in any way you can. Kari. You gather everyone else. I'll need you guys to transfer your energy to me."
"You hear that guys? We're going reenergize my dad with some of our own ki," Max announced.
"Are you sure about this, Tai?" Mystic Celesta asked.
"Positive. While Susanoomon, Takato and Rika hold Bebimon at bay, you guys can transfer your energy into me."
"Tai. It would be best if we all attack head on," Pikkan suggested.
"No. Once I'm reenergized, I'll have enough power to take out Bebimon."
"I understand," Cyberleomon replied. "But we're going to be here in case you need us."
"Fair enough. Even when my power is restored, I still may need the help. Bebimon has managed to push me to new limits."
(The Last Element continues playing from it's brief silence)
Meanwhile, back on the battlefield, Susanoomon wielded a massive sword and swung it towards Bebi-Metalla X's direction.
"CELESTIAL BLADE!"
As soon as the sword was nearing the beast, Bebi-Metalla X leaps up and launches a barrage of finger blasts. The warrior puts up his sword and takes out each blast. However, this was merely a distraction as Bebi-Metalla X phases behind Susanoomon. The Tufflesurian delivers a painful elbow smash from behind the warrior. He then wrapped his massive arms around the warrior's waist and soars up into the skies.
"Spike ball!"
Bebi-Metalla X flies down towards the terrain below and pile drives Susanoomon straight through the earth. The beast leaps away and howls in celebration. However, his celebration was short-lived once Gallantmon fired a Lighting Joust towards Bebi-Metalla X. The attack nailed the beast directly near his right eye. This only managed to deter his attention away from Susanoomon.
"Insect! You can join Taichi and this fool in hell!"
"Hold it right there, bub! Don't you dare put your grubby hands on him!" Sakuyamon calls out.
"Oh?! What can you do in hopes of stopping me?!"
"This!"
Sakuyamon unleashes an array of fox spirits and sends them out at Bebi-Metalla X. The spirits started to engulf the beast and distracted him momentarily. He attempts to shrug away the spirits. Gallantmon puts out his shield, charges up a powerful attack and unleashes a powerful energy beam. The exalted knight's Shield of the Just was strong enough to push Bebi-Metalla X away and sent him crashing through an abandoned building.
Susanoomon manages to pull himself from out of the ground. As soon as he made eye contact with the Tamer megas, he gives them an assuring nod. The warrior of peace charges forward with his sword and slashes across Bebi-Metalla X. Even though the beast had dodged the slash, he was taken back by the force swing and sent flying backwards.
(Theme ends)
"Yeah! Way to nail it to him!" Max cheered.
"C'mon, guys! We're going to transfer our energy to Tai!" Mystic Celesta instructed the team.
"Hopefully, this plan will work or else we're screwed," Omega X thought. "It's our last shot."
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Gosenzomon and Buddamon watched the situation unfold through their viewing orb. They noticed that Omega X was slightly fatigued and losing grip on his ki energy. This concerned the elder and his assistant.
"Tell us. What's going on?" BW asked. "Isn't Tai kicking his ass already?"
"I'm afraid not," Buddamon replied. "Tai was losing around once Bebimon transformed into a beast. He's having a rather difficult time grasping onto the reserves of his power."
"While that is true, you forget that his Ten-Times Terra Beam technique drained Taichi of nearly every ounce of his energy," the black Omnimon known as Gosenzomon said. "If he hasn't called upon his comrades for their energy, he would have been finished."
"Tai. I commend you for pulling off such a smart tactic," X said. "You're actually maturing from your the old thick-headed cocky kid you used to be."
"We can only hope for a miracle. Even Susanoomon the legendary warrior will have problems once he exerts more of his power. Bebimon is leagues beyond Lucemon."
"You're right elder," Buddamon said. "Taichi. For our sake, this strategy better work. Hopefully Shintomon and Lady Moinanea have revived Takeru and the children."
Elsewhere on Planet Plant
Miles across from the battle, Shintomon was seen soaring through the heavens with the holy water container. Accompanying the higher digimon was Lady Moinanea, War Angemon, Kara and Tike. They were only a few miles from reaching the battle site.
"Hang in there, guys. The cavalry is on the way," Shintomon said in thought.
Back on the battle site
Bebi-Metalla X had risen up to his feet with some damage on his body. His opponents faced off with the beast while Omega X prepared to implement his plan.
"You fools are not the ones I want!" the Tufflesurian roared. "I want Taichi. We still have our settle to score!"
"Sorry, Bebimon, but your fight is with us," Susanoomon implied. "Prepare yourself!"
"You're only delaying the inevitable," Gallantmon stated.
"No, you're only wasting my time! I won't let my guard down on you insects next time. Taichi! Show some courage and get your ass out here! Now! You yellow-bellied coward!"
This had set off Omega X as he set his angry eyes on Bebi-Metalla X. The warrior attempted to hold back his inner rage, but his friends managed to restrain the level four warrior.
"Calm down, dad! He's only trying to psyche you out!"
"Remember we still have to carry out this plan of yours. We didn't come all this way to screw it up," Mystic Celesta said.
"Yeah! You go and hide behind your cheerleaders, Taichi! I'll take care of these nuisances myself!"
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X resumed his face off with the trio. He started firing several mouth blasts to keep Susanoomon and the two Tamer megas at bay. They couldn't find the chance to avoid the beast's vicious blasts and were eventually overwhelmed. Bebi-Metalla X takes advantage of their distraction and attacks them head on. The Tufflesurian beast launches himself at Susanoomon and delivers a vicious clothesline to take him down. Gallantmon was kicked away and Sakuyamon was flung aside by Bebi-Metalla X.
"Crap! He's gaining the advantage! C'mon, guys! He's heading this way!" Omega X calls out.
"You're next, Taichi! Call off those cowards and face me! We're going to finish where we left off!"
"It's no use! I'm not even at full power. If he attacks now, then we're in deep trouble."
Susanoomon rises from out of the rubble and watches as Bebi-Metalla X approach Omega X's group. He picks up his sword and charges off to prevent the beast from carrying out his assault.
Susanoomon takes off into the battle and plans to prevent Bebimon from attacking Omega X while he charges up to his maximum power once again. With War Angemon returned to normal, can he hope to turn the tides? Bebimon wants only Tai and he just may get his wish. Is this really the end of our heroes or will they rise to the occasion?

Saber Veemon: Heh, forgetting about me already? Hey, Bebimon! I just planted a surprise present for ya.
Bebimon: What is this a reunion?!
Susanoomon: That's right, Bebimon! You cannot defeat the power of courage and friendship! You lack both traits and it will ensure your downfall!
Mystic Celesta: Everyone! Attack on my signal! Once we get our licks in, we'll let you take it from here, big brother.

The Revival of Heroes! The Unification of Goggle Heads!
Bebi-Metalla X had risen up to his feet with some damage on his body. His opponents faced off with the beast while Omega X prepared to implement his plan.
"You fools are not the ones I want!" the Tufflesurian roared. "I want Taichi. We still have our settle to score!"
"Sorry, Bebimon, but your fight is with us," Susanoomon implied. "Prepare yourself!"
"You're only delaying the inevitable," Gallantmon stated.
"No, you're only wasting my time! I won't let my guard down on you insects next time. Taichi! Show some courage and get your ass out here! Now! You yellow-bellied coward!"
This had set off Omega X as he set his angry eyes on Bebi-Metalla X. The warrior attempted to hold back his inner rage, but his friends managed to restrain the level four warrior.
"Calm down, dad! He's only trying to psyche you out!"
"Remember we still have to carry out this plan of yours. We didn't come all this way to screw it up," Mystic Celesta said.
"Yeah! You go and hide behind your cheerleaders, Taichi! I'll take care of these nuisances myself!"
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X resumed his face off with the trio. He started firing several mouth blasts to keep Susanoomon and the two Tamer megas at bay. They couldn't find the chance to avoid the beast's vicious blasts and were eventually overwhelmed. Bebi-Metalla X takes advantage of their distraction and attacks them head on. The Tufflesurian beast launches himself at Susanoomon and delivers a vicious clothesline to take him down. Gallantmon was kicked away and Sakuyamon was flung aside by Bebi-Metalla X.
"Crap! He's gaining the advantage! C'mon, guys! He's heading this way!" Omega X calls out.
"You're next, Taichi! Call off those cowards and face me! We're going to finish where we left off!"
"It's no use! I'm not even at full power. If he attacks now, then we're in deep trouble."
Susanoomon rises from out of the rubble and watches as Bebi-Metalla X approach Omega X's group. He picks up his sword and charges off to prevent the beast from carrying out his assault.
Bebi-Metalla X turns and is met with a sword slash across his chest. Susanoomon makes certain that his sword makes complete contact with Bebi-Metalla X. The force was enough to cause the Tufflesurian to wobble backwards.
"Don't even think about it. I'll cut you off if I have to!"
"Idle threats from a fool who doesn't know who he's dealing with!"
"You might want to say to us?" Gallantmon calls out.
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X found himself surrounded by Gallantmon, Sakuyamon and Susanoomon. The beast did not have anywhere to go and was forced to deal with the trio. This gave Omega X and the others time to carry out on their plan.
"You guys. I don't know if they can hold him out that much longer," Max said. "That monster just won't go down easily."
"I know what you mean, but we are going to have to depend on them for now," Omega X stated. "Besides, they're biding us more time for you guys to transfer your energy to me."
"But what if it fails?" Keke asked.
"It can't fail. We won't let it," Mystic Celesta promptly stated. "We know what we're doing."
Back onto the battlefield, Bebi-Metalla X unleashes a powerful energy shield, which manages to knock away his three adversaries. Susanoomon managed to stand his ground while planting his sword through the earth. Gallantmon leaps over and finds himself standing on top of Susanoomon's right shoulder.
"Sakuyamon! Hop on!"
The golden clad female follows along with her ally and hops onto the titan's left shoulder. The trio watched as Bebi-Metalla X made his way over towards the gathered group.
"Damn it! He's going to ruin everything!" Susanoomon cursed. "C'mon! There's no time to lose!"
The legendary warrior heads off with the Tamer megas trailing along. Unfortunately, the Tufflesurian was already ahead of them.
"Dad! He's coming!"
Omega X turns around to make eye contact with Bebi-Metalla X charging ahead.
"Damn it all! Looks like we'll have to put this pal aside for now. I'll deal with our so-called friend."
"Tai! Don't you even realize that you're low on energy?" Pikkan asked. "You're making a mistake."
"Yes, I do realize that, Pikkan. But if he keeps this up then we won't even successfully carry out our strategy."
"Dad. Try to reconsider."
"I'm sorry, Max. You stay here with everyone else. Bebimon! You want me?! Here I come!"
Omega X immediately takes off into the distance and meets off with Bebi-Metalla X head on. Max and Mystic Celesta looked on with worry.
"Aunt Kari. Does he have a chance?"
"I'm afraid to say this, but… Since he's so low on energy, I doubt that Tai will even stand a chance."
"Oh, no! Father!"
"Tai. You're a fool if you think you can fend that bastard off with so little power," Pikkan thought. "Then again, it's hard to reason with you."
Bebi-Metalla X stops at his tracks and came into contact with his hated adversary. The warrior levitated with a grin on his face. This only made the Tufflesurian beast chuckle deeply.
"Taichi! I can sense that you're low on ki. Have you come to submit to me?"
"No. I'm preventing you from hurting my friends and family. Even if I'm low on power, I'll still do what it takes to kill you myself."
"Oh please! You crack me up, Taichi! Just listen to yourself! You've let your own stupidity overwhelm you!"
"Why don't you try to prove it then?"
"It'd be my pleasure!"
As soon as Bebi-Metalla X said that, the beast fired away a single finger blast. Omega X manages to dodge it, but was immediately caught head on by another. Omega X was sent flying back after another air blast from Bebi-Metalla X. However, instead of showing fear, Omega X simply smirked and started calling out a bluff.
"Bebimon. That was just pitiful. Do you really expect to beat me with that crap of a technique? Stop holding back and give me your best shot. I mean… C'mon!"
Bebi-Metalla X simply growled to himself as he was growing fed up with Omega X's annoying antics. He slowly started making his way towards Omega X as he prepared to attack the warrior.
Max looked on while holding onto his unconscious mother. He griped tightly as he hoped for a miracle to come and save his father.
"Dad. I know your bluffing, but you can't go on like this. You should have asked for my help. This is getting very serious. Mom, if only you were awake. You would have definitely been a big help."
"Max? What's wrong?" Mystic Celesta asked.
"My mom… That monster did this to her. She nearly died because of him! I'm not going to let him kill my father! I won't let him! I won't forgive him!"
"Max…"
Bebi-Metalla X started firing several mouth blasts to keep Omega X at bay. The warrior couldn't dodge every shot and was eventually overwhelmed. Bebi-Metalla X knew that his adversary was bluffing and was starting to beat the living tar out of Omega X. He shot more blasts down over Omega X.
"Ha! I knew you were bluffing. It was only a matter of time before I would have noticed it. Now, you just revealed your own weakness. Give it up, Taichi. It's all over!"
Having seen enough of the torment, Max powers up and quickly takes off into the distance. Mystic Celesta screamed out for the boy but to no avail. She was set to take off after him, but was immediately stopped by Pikkan.
"Pikkan! What is the meaning of this?!"
"Let him go, Hikari. It seems that boy can't be reasoned with. His love for his father has driven him to become a warrior. He's matured over a period of time. I'm sure you realize that."
"I know, but don't you realize the monster he's dealing with?! Max will get killed out there!"
"No, he is not alone. Taichi will make certain that Max will be safe. Don't worry. Max is in good hands as long as Taichi is still alive."
Mystic Celesta looks back towards the battlefield and watched as Max was drawing closer to the scene. She clasped her hands together in a prayer.
"Ok, but if things get messy, I'm going out there. No 'ifs' or 'buts' about it," the female stated.
"Agreed."
The Tufflesurian beast towered over the fallen Omega X with a sinister grin on his face. He was preparing to crush Omega X under his feet.
"Taichi. It's been fun, but it's time for you to meet your maker in hell. This time I'll make sure you die."
"Bebimon! Don't you dare!"
The monster halted once he made complete eye contact with Max, who flew out in front of Omega X with out stretched hands. Bebi-Metalla X stepped away. Max's eyes were covered with tears, but these weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of anger and vengeance. The boy stood hid ground in between the two super powers despite his odds being slim. The violence was brought to a temporary halt.
"What's the meaning of this, boy?"
"Bebimon! Stop this madness! I've seen far enough! This mindless violence… The hatred for humans… Your pointless conquest… The pain… The suffering… The torment… I won't allow you to kill my father. You caused my friends and family enough torment! I maybe a weak little kid, but I won't hesitate to defend my family's honor and kill you myself! I'll never forgive you!"
"Ha! You and what army, kid?! You don't have the gull to challenge my authority. I'll crush you in a heartbeat."
"Now, I want you to restore everyone to the way they were. That includes my mom, Keke's dad and everyone else."
Bebimon started laughing hysterically. Max couldn't stand the laughter and made an angry look.
"Ha and what are you going to do about it?! Damn! You're a real comedian, kid. But I'll tell you what? I'll give you a simple answer here and now. Hell no!"
"It was worth a try, father. But I'm not about to go down that easily! Give me your best shot, Bebimon!"
"Fine! You asked for it, boy!"
Omega X came to his senses and looked ahead to find Max standing up to the Tufflesurian beast. He gasped with utter horror as the monster walked closer towards him.
"Max?! What are you doing here?! You have to get out of here!"
"Sorry, dad, but I'm not going to let this guy off the hook that easily! He's put us through enough suffering these past few days! You hear that, Bebimon?! You're going down!"
The boy quickly cupped his hands together, bent back and started to gather an enormous amount of ki energy to form a moderate-sized blue energy ball. Max started to chant the technique thoroughly.
"Tsunami-"
He then finished his chant, pushes forward and unleashes a mighty wave of energy.
"Wave!"
The energy beam shot towards Bebi-Metalla X's face. The boy made sure that his target was going to nail the Tufflesurian. Omega X calls out to his son, but he was too late. Meanwhile, Bebimon simply brushed it away with one hand, which did not go well for Max. The boy had a look of shock painted across his face.
"No… It didn't work?!"
"Was that best you've got, kid? You're idle threats were nothing more than a waste of my precious time. Why don't I demonstrate how to use an energy attack correctly? You can be my little guinea pig."
Max walked backwards in utter disbelief and stuttered in fear. He couldn't help but tremble as Bebi-Metalla X prepared to carry out his next attack on the helpless boy.
"Bebimon! Don't you lay a hand on my son!"
Bebi-Metalla X turns around to find Omega X preparing to attack the beast head on despite his low energy. But he wasn't alone. The Tufflesurian beast realized that Susanoomon, Gallantmon and Sakuyamon arrived at the scene. Max backs away and steps to his father's side.
"What is this a reunion of pathetic heroes?!" the beast bellowed out.
"How can you call yourself a 'lord' if you attack little children?" Sakuyamon said.
"That's completely unforgivable!" Gallantmon implied.
"I'll be more than happy to take your head off," Susanoomon threatened.
"No! That monster took Matt's body!" Max cried out. "You'd be committing murder if you kill him! There has to be a way to free Matt of that monster!"
"Don't worry, Max. I promised Keke that I would set her father free. Remember?"
Omega X gives a nod to his son and smiles. The warrior turns his attention back to the battlefield and gathered the last recipients of his ki energy.
"All right, guys! On my command!"
"Wait! Hold it right there!"
Everyone stopped almost immediately once a voice called out to them. Bebi-Metalla X looked up to find the source to the voice, but was met with an enormous energy blast to the face. His face twisted with shock, as he saw none other than War Angemon. The angelic warrior levitated down from the heavens and landed where Omega X was standing off.
"TK?!" Omega X exclaimed. "Whoa, time out here! Aren't you supposed to be-"
"On his side? Not anymore."
"Ok, care to explain how you removed the seed?"
"I'll explain everything later, Max. Tai. Leave him to me. That's my brother's body Bebimon has stolen and I promised to restore my brother!"
Bebi-Metalla X turned with an evil smirk on his face. War Angemon prepared to launch another attack, but paused as the Tufflesurian lord spoke.
"Hey, Takeru. What's the meaning of this? Why turn on your own lord?"
"I didn't turn on you when I never served you in the first place. You merely planted a seed into my brain to force me to submit to your Tufflesurian way of thinking."
"Curse you! Lady Moinanea must have had a hand in this! She'll regret interfering on my conquest!"
"Now, I'm taking you apart, Bebimon!"
"You know that you're only hurting your own brother's body. Do you realize that?"
"Yeah, but he would want it to end up this way. Either way, I'll force you out from Yamato's body. Do you hear me?"
"Loud and clear, but I frankly could give a rat's know you want."
Bebi-Metalla X leaps over and easily brushes War Angemon to the side. Suddenly, both Gallantmon and Sakuyamon caught War Angemon just in time. The Tufflesurian was beginning to grow annoyed with more adversaries standing against his power.
Mystic Celesta looks ahead and was taken back by this sudden turn of events. Her husband has returned to challenge Bebi-Metalla X.
"Whoa! That's TK! But what happened? Last time I checked he was on Bebimon's side."
"I'm not sure what to make of this," Pikkan stated. "Shintomon must have removed the seed from out of Takeru."
"If that's the case, then what about the children?!" Mystic Celesta panicked almost immediately.
Just as she was about to storm off into the battle, a pair of tiny hands held onto Mystic Celesta. She looks down to find Tike and Kara. The twins were not only cured but looking healthy as ever. Mystic Celesta shed tears and wrapped her arms around the twins.
"Oh my babies! You're all right!"
"Of course we are, mom," Kara said.
"Shit, why wouldn't we be?" implied Tike.
"I really need to wash out that mouth of yours, Tike. I'm so glad you two are just fine."
"That doesn't explain how they were cured from those seeds," Jeri said.
"I can help explain that," Shintomon's voice calls out.
The group turned around to find Shintomon levitating with Lady Moinanea. The higher digimon lands and confronts Mystic Celesta.
"Shintmon? Lady Moinanea? It's a surprise to see you here," Mystic Celesta spoke.
"If you want anyone to thank, the credit should go mainly to Lady Moinanea," the higher digimon said. "She helped me to grab this container of a holy water blessed by the three angelic guardians."
"I assume you fed TK and the kids that same holy water?"
"That's right, Hikari. We will spread it over earth and this planet to cure everyone infected by Bebimon's seeds."
"But first we must eliminate Bebimon as soon as possible. Now I see Taichi and the others are taking care of business," Lady Moinanea said.
"On the other hand, Bebimon has shown no signs of fatigue," Cyberleomon explained.
"Yeah. Quite frankly he's already getting on my nerves," Beelzebumon replied.
"I see. Well then, I say we get Taichi back here so you can transfer your energy to him," Shintomon said. "Wasn't that what you were going for in the first place?"
"Yes, but Bebimon interrupted our beginning phase," Pikkan said.
"Ok, then. Hikari. I want you to come with me. We can pull Taichi out from the battle and let the others distract Bebimon momentarily. The power transfer process shouldn't take long."
"Ok, then."
With that said, Shintomon and Mystic Celesta take off into the battlefield. They witnessed as Bebi-Metalla X was preparing to implement another attack on the unified team.
"You're time is up, Bebimon! Even you can't take us all at once," Susanoomon said.
Bebi-Metalla X opened his mouth and prepared to fire another devastating mouth blast at his adversaries. While the Tufflesurian gathered energy to carry out his attack, Omega X simply smirked and rose to his feet. Max helped his father rise to his feet while preparing to defend themselves against Bebi-Metalla X's mighty onslaught. Fortunately, Susanoomon, War Angemon and the Tamer megas were there to aid them at the time of need.
Just then, Omega X felt two enormous powers heading their direction. He turns to find Shintomon landing with Mystic Celesta.
"Shintomon! Sis! It's good to see you again, Shinto!"
"Max! Thank goodness you're all right!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"I told you I was in good hands with my father. See? I'm fine."
"Taichi. If you will…"
"Shintomon? What are you doing here? How is that TK is fighting against Bebimon now? Did he just switch sides all of a sudden?"
"You can thank Lady Moinanea for giving me this container. It contains liters of a holy water she and the three celestials have blessed many years ago. This special water can cure any evil influence that may have possessed an individual. That includes destroying Bebimon's eggs. We were able to revive TK and the kids with it."
"That's good to know. No wonder everyone is returning to normal. Looks like the tide is turning against Bebimon as we speak."
"Indeed it is."
Bebi-Metalla X quickly powers up and forms a strong aura presence around himself. The warriors stood their ground as they prepared to face off against the ever-powerful beast. Omega X was too weak to even make an attack towards Bebi-Metalla X and he knew everyone else didn't stand a ghost of a chance.
"At this point, I'm too weak to even summon any energy to attack. Looks like we'll have to continue where we left off. Susanoomon and these two can hold off Bebimon in the meantime," Omega X thought.
"Taichi. You need to gather energy from everyone to restore your powers. You can leave Susanoomon, Rika and Takato to deal with Bebimon," Shintomon instructed. "What do you say?"
"Great idea, Shintomon. Hear that, Max? We're going to carry out on our plan after all."
"Awesome, but we need to hurry!"
"Susanoomon! Rika! Takato! You three are going to hold off Bebimon while we transfer our energy through my brother!"
"No problem. You just leave this joker with us," Susanoomon implied.
"Good luck, guys! We're counting on you!" Gallantmon said.
"Ok, then. Everyone follow me out!" Omega X said.
The warrior takes off into the distance with everyone else, except those three who decided to stay. Omega X lands where Lady Moinanea awaited him.
"It's good to see you again, Taichi."
"You too, Lady Moinanea. I'd like to thank you for using the holy water to restore my friends."
"It was nothing. I had to repay the favor for your heroic efforts in the digital world."
"Fair enough," he said with a smile.
As soon as everyone else arrived at the scene, Omega X stood out in the middle. Mystic Celesta instructed everyone to gather into a circle. This was merely the first step into Omega X's plan to the power donation process.
"Now, make sure to give me all the excessive energy you really don't need at the moment," the warrior stated. "Only then, I can be restored to full power."
Mystic Celesta, War Angemon and Max were the first to step forward. Followed by them were Tike, Kara, Jeri and Cyberleomon. Pikkan hesitated at first, but decided to go along with the plan. Lady Moinanea stepped forward to donate some energy. Calumon flies over Omega X with his emerald forehead emitting a bright red light. The warrior stood amidst the group as the light/energy was being transferred into his body. Beelzebumon takes off to the battlefield to aid the megas.
"That's it. Keep it coming guys. You're doing great…"
"I'd hurry it up if I were you. Those three aren't going to last much longer at this point."
Meanwhile, Bebi-Metalla X cupped his hands together and unleashes a massive energy beam. Gallantmon leaps away from the beam and retaliates with a blast from his sword. Susanoomon follows it up with a swift kick to the Tufflesurian's side stomach. The beast cried out angrily and throws his right arm forward to knock Susanoomon back.
"Out of my way, insects! I'm here to kill Taichi! I will not let you interfere!"
Bebi-Metalla X leaps overhead and heads off across the landscape. He managed to by pass the three adversaries. Omega X turned to find the beast charging his way. Bebi-Metalla X cackled wickedly as he prepared to unleash another powerful energy attack to finish off his hated adversary.
"Prepare to meet death, Taichi!"
Suddenly, Gallantmon came jumping out of nowhere and delivers a painful dose of his Shield of the Just. The attack was strong enough to push Bebi-Metalla X away. Sakuyamon followed it up by slamming her staff against his forehead. Finally, Susanoomon polishes it up and slashes Beb-Metalla X across the chest with his sword.
"Excellent work, guys! We're almost done!' exclaimed Omega X.
"Heads up! Man, will this punk ever quit?!" Beelzebumon wondered.
The group gasped in horror as Bebi-Metalla X fought through the opposition's onslaught and leaps forward with his hands cupped together. He was preparing to finish them off at once with his Super Devil's Ray.
"You're all left out in the open! Now I can finally finish you all off at once! Say goodbye, insects! Ha! ha!"
"This can't be happening!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
"What's it going to take?!" War Angemon wondered.
"No! Not now! We just need a little more time!" Omega X thought. Wait, what's that?!"
Suddenly, Bebi-Metalla X felt a sharp pain emitting through his internal system. It felt as if something were creating electrical shocks. The beast lets out a primal scream as he held his chest with a strained look on his face.
"What the hell is happening?! Why am I feeling this amount of pain?!"
"Um, hey. Care to explain what's going on?" Gallantmon wondered.
"I have no idea," replied Sakuyamon. "One second he was getting 'poed', then he goes and starts having convulsions."
"Maybe it's just another case of bad indigestion for this guy," Beelzebumon said. "Man, I remember when I ate those nachos left out in the sun for a day."
"But really… What's caused Bebimon to go off like this? Ah! I remember now!" Omega X thought.
"Any idea what's going on, dad?"
"Heh, let's just say ol' Davis left a surprise for Bebimon."
"Davis?"
Bebi-Metalla X strained heavily against the pain that was causing him to double over. Parts of his body started to inflate from the mysterious force that was straining inside his body. Suddenly, he had remembered his last encounter with Saber Veemon.
"I remember now! Yes, it was that damned Saber Veemon! He's responsible for this!"
Turn to flashback moment
A figure quickly grasped himself around Bebimon like a constrictor. The Tufflesurian was shocked as Saber Veemon wrapped his arms around him in a tight grasp.
"What?! It's you! Unhand me!"
"Sorry, but I'm not going to let you kill off my best friend! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to fend you off in the first place! Dorothy told me that she wouldn't stand to see her own sensei die!"
"That's the way, Saber Veemon!" Max exclaimed. "You take care of business! We'll go and get my dad out of there!"
"Let's go, Max!" Keke said as she ran off.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"Keke! Max! Get back here!" Mystic Celesta calls out to the children.
As everyone looked on, Mystic Celesta chased off after the children. Takato and Guilmon woke up from their sudden unconsciousness.
"Did somebody get the number on that bus?" Guilmon asked.
"Huh? What just happened? I remembered that Bebimon jerk blasted us away. Ah! We're back to normal?"
"Bebimon was able to defeat you while in your Crimson Mode form," Pikkan explained. "Omega X is back and he's down. Thank goodness for Saber Veemon. He's holding him off while we get Tai out of there."
"That's a relief!" the goggle head said.
"No kidding!" Guilmon responded.
Max and Keke ran over towards Omega X's side, while Saber Veemon held the villain in his grasp. Bebi-Metalla X struggled to break free from the warrior's grasp.
"Now I'm going to self destruct and take this asshole with me!"
"Davis! Dorothy! You guys can't! Don't you go throwing your own lives for our sakes!" Max cried out.
"Yeah! You've got a long life ahead of you!" said Keke. "Please reconsider!"
"I'm afraid that this is the only way of making sure Bebimon never comes back to haunt us again."
"But you'll take my father's body away at the same time!" Keke said. "Bebimon possessed my father's body!"
Saber Veemon gasped as he finally realized that he would be taking away Matt's life away. The fused warrior released his grasp, which brought a smile on Bebi-Metalla X's face. He places his palm across her chest and powers up a ki blast.
"You should have killed me when you had the chance! Oh well, just another waste to send to the junkyard."
With that said, the villain fires a blast at Saber Veemon and sends him flying backwards. He goes slamming through several rock ledges. Max and Keke looked on with shock. Omega X growled angrily. As soon as Mystic Celesta arrived, she grabbed the children and gasped in shock.
"Davis! Dorothy! No!" Mystic Celesta screamed in agony.
"Well now that piece of garbage is out of the way, who wants to join him?"
End of flashback
"Now I remember! Just as he was about to self-destruct, I could feel an object being injected into my body. No wonder I was feeling so much pain in the first place! I was being restrained in a way. Saber Veemon had this planned from the start! Damn him!"
"That's right! You just figured it out by now? Geez, you're so slow."
The Tufflesurian gasped in shock as he heard an ever-so familiar voice. He looked up to see a battered Saber Veemon. The fused warrior taunted the Tufflesurian as he waved over to him.
"All right! Davis and Dorothy are still ticking!" Max cried out.
"Thank god. I thought we had lost them!" Keke said.
"Ha. So you had this planned all along. Well that's what I call an element of surprise, Davis. You sneaky bastard. As for you, Dorothy… I'm proud of you," Omega X said. "Looks like I won't have to worry about anyone else losing their lives."
"Tai! You better hurry and regain your full energy! I think that creep is just about pissed off with us," Saber Veemon cried out.
With everyone donating their energy to Omega X, the warrior felt a rush of energy surging through his body. His power was quickly being restored, slowly but surely. He had never felt any better than he is already and his muscles tightened with the power coursing through his veins.
Susanoomon and the Tamer mega trio all looked on with astonishment. Their eyes were set on Omega X's magnificent form. Shintomon was happy to see that Omega X was being restored to his tiptop prime.
"Will this actually work?" Sakuyamon asked.
"We can't think like that, Sakuyamon," Susanoomon replied.
"You said it! He's going to lay that no good bastard out!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Don't worry. It shall commence," Shintomon said in thought.
Sora was slowly coming to her senses and sat up to find Shintomon standing before her. Shintomon kneels next to her and pours some of the holy water into her mouth. She takes a sip and swallows the water. Shintomon feeds Biyomon a portion of the holy water. Sora's body convulsed as she spat out Bebimon's seed. She held her head and looks up to see Shintomon.
"Shintomon? Is that you? What just happened and where am I?"
"You'll be fine. Everything is going to be sorted out. Your husband has reached a new level and is preparing to end Bebimon as we speak."
"What? Is that so?"
Sora looked up and made eye contact with Omega X. A look of satisfaction formed across her face as she got to take a look at a fully powered fused warrior. She even saw Max donating portions of his own energy to his father.
"Tai. You look so powerful. Your power level must be beyond anyone has imagined. But you've never looked better."
Bebi-Metalla X lets out a terrifying howl as he shot numerous blasts at Saber Veemon. The fused warrior flew around as he managed to dodge the blasts. Bebi-Metalla X felt restrained, but would not hold back on eliminating Saber Veemon. Just then, Sakuyamon came flying up as she held her staff up.
"Spirit Strike!"
The golden mega sent down a wave of fox spirits. They began to consume Bebi-Metalla X, but he was able to evaporate them with his energy. Bebimon shoots out a mouth blast. Sakuyamon jumps away. Susanoomon and Gallantmon came next to unleash their attacks.
"Lighting Joust!"
"Celestial Blade!"
The two warriors blasted the beast with their most powerful techniques, which allowed Beelzebumon to make his next move. The winged demon lets loose a powerful blast through his gun blaster.
"Death Slinger!"
The beast was caught head-on with the barrage of deadly attacks, but none seemed to be slowing him down at the moment. Rage began building up within Bebi-Metalla X. He prepared to make his next attack. He raises his fists and throws out an energy blast.
"Super Genocide Collision!"
The powerful blast came hurtling towards the warriors, who were still donating energy to Omega X. The attack struck them head-on, but they were not slowing down. They ignored the pain and continued the process. Omega X was gaining back more of his power.
"Yes! Just keep it going, guys! I can feel my energy coming back to me!"
"No! I won't rest until you all die! Super Genocide Collision!"
The beast shoots out another blast and watches as it makes a collision with the warriors. An explosion occurred as everyone stood in fear.
"Max! Tai! NO!" Sora cried out.
"Sora! Get back!" Shintomon said as he held the woman back.
"But he just destroyed them! How can I be calm?! How?!"
"I can't believe it… They're gone…" Sakuyamon said. "We couldn't do a damn thing to stop that attack!"
Despite Sakuyamon's pleas, Gallantmon and Susanoomon stayed focused onto the battlefield. It was almost as if they were anticipating a comeback by Omega X.
Bebimon smirked as he started walking away. He couldn't feel any more kis and was convinced that he killed them.
"Well, my job here is finished. I can go on to rule the entire Digital Universe. No one can stop me now. Rest in peace, Taichi. You put up such a valiant effort, but it still wasn't enough."
"Ha! Who said I was even finished? I'm not even close!'
"What?! That voice! But it couldn't be!"
Bebi-Metalla X turned around as he saw the smoke clearing away. Bebi-Metalla X looked across to see Omega X. He was surrounded by everyone who had donated their energy to him. They each helped to construct a wall barrier to protect themselves from Bebi-Metalla X's onslaught. The Tufflesurian gasped in utter disbelief and noticed that each of them were completely unscathed.
"No! It can't be! How were you able to construct a barrier?! You should have been incinerated!"
"I don't think so. You came close, but close isn't enough! My power has now been fully restored. There's absolutely nothing you can do to stop me."
"It can't be!"
"Tai! I can't believe it. Thank god that you're still alive," Sora cried out. "Max. Keke. I'm so relieved."
"Everyone! Get away from here. Shintomon. Take the children."
"Right."
Shintomon flies over to Omega X and takes the children. Everyone soon started to scatter away. Mystic Celesta and War Angemon were flying off, after recovering from unconsciousness. Pikkan goes over and picks up both Tike and Kara. Omega X was left alone in the battlefield against Bebi-Metalla X. The beast growled angrily as he felt the tremendous power increase from Omega X. The warrior smirked as he started to get under the beast's skin.
"So, what are you going to do now, Bebimon? Tell me? You won't do a damn thing to me. I'm about to smack you around like a punk ass that you are. Takato. Takuya. Davis. Step on up!"
"Huh? Why is he calling us out?" Gallantmon wondered.
"No idea, but I say we call down Susanoomon just for this," the warrior of peace replied.
As soon as he said that, Susanoomon powered down and split himself up back into the six legendary warriors. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon stood out before the other four warriors. Kazemon, Kumamon, Beetlemon and Loweemon walked out into the open. Kaiser Greymon gives a nod to Gallantmon/ They both set off to accompany Omega X. Saber Veemon came flying down next to the trio.
Everyone gazed upon the four warriors taking center stage against the Tufflesurian lord. It was perhaps the most historic moment any of the Digi-Destined/Tamer crew had witnessed.
"Mom! Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Max asked. "Wow! This is so awesome! It's the four goggle heads taking center stage!"
"Tai. You look so good out there," Sora replied. "Show him what a goggle head is made of."
"What can I say? That's my goggle head," Sakuyamon said through Rika's voice.
"Go get him, Takuya," Kazemon said.
"Sonja. David. This one's for you," Saber Veemon thought.
(Play Digimon Frontier evolution theme With the Will)
Bebi-Metalla X faces off with the four goggle head warriors and puts his hands out in front of him. A pair of energy spheres form around the palms of his hands. He tosses out the energy spheres and watches them split into two halves. The spheres transfigured themselves into four energy discs.
"Dodge these you fools! You're going to be sliced into little pieces!"
Omega X turns to make eye contact with the three goggle head warriors. He nodded his head. They returned a nod to the leader of the group. Omega X takes off first and sends out an invisible force, which immediately destroyed the energy disc. Gallantmon was next up. He charges ahead and slashes through the disc with his saber. Kaiser Greymon leaps up and hacks down the third disc with his mighty sword. Finally, Saber Veemon put his hands together and incinerates the last disc with an energy beam.
"Curse you! Why don't you insects die?!"
"Ready, guys? Spread out!" Omega X commanded his four allies.
With that said, Omega X and the three goggle head digimon leaped out into different sides of the battlefield. Each one positioned themselves for an attack on Bebi-Metalla X. They were planning to attack all at once with everything they've got. Omega X gave a signal to them.
"Ready! Aim! Fire away, guys!"
"What this is nonsense?! Go ahead! I'll take whatever you have in store for me!"
Kaiser Greymon started it off by holding out his sword, gathered an amount of fire energy and sends out a fiery blast.
"DRAGON FIRE CROSSBOW!"
Next up was Saber Veemon. He cupped his hands together and gathered a massive amount of ki energy. He then transferred that energy and condensed it into a heavy weighted sword. He twirled the sword over his head and proceeds to slam it against the ground. The force from the sword unleashes a massive amount of energy.
"SABER V-SLASH!"
Gallantmon puts out his hazard shield and sends out a powerful beam that causes the earth to tremble before him.
"SHIELD OF THE JUST!"
Finally, Omega X cups his hands together, starts a chant and unleashes a mighty wave of red energy. The red energy then condenses into the shape of a beam and goes hurtling towards the towering monster.
"TERRA BEAM!"
The four energy attacks combined together to form a single overwhelming wave of energy that tore itself through the earth. Bebi-Metalla X's eyes widened as the massively powerful beam collides with him and sends him skidding across the landscape. The energy blast detonates on impact and causes Bebi-Metalla X to scream out. The beast was not only battered from the impact but nearly half of his power was cut in half. The damage had been done to the Tufflesurian. The tide was turning against him and even he knew it.
"God damn! If he's able to survive that, I'd be surprised!" Max said.
"Well, he did survive," Lady Moinanea said. "On the other hand, he's become weakened."
"Awesome hit, you guys!" Mystic Celesta cried out. "Now time to finish it!"
"Thanks a lot," Omega X replied to the three goggle head digimon. "Now if you don't mind, I'll take it from here. It's down to him and me."
As soon as he said that, Omega X takes off towards the smoke cloud and comes into contact with Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian came walking out with one eye closed up and his entire body bleeding from many deep cuts. His body was starting to strain on him.
"TAICHI! I hope you're satisfied… with this…"
"You bet your ass I'm happy. It's time to finish this, Bebimon. You're reign is way overdue. Hear the clock? Tick tock. Tick tock. That's the sound of your reign of terror coming to an end."
Bebi-Metalla X roared angrily as a chunk of land started to crumble under his feet. He proceeded to power up and unleash his tremendous power. The land started to give way to his mere power-up. Omega X clenched his fists as his power rose rapidly. The power donation had definitely done its trick and help increase Omega X's power. The land started to give away to their tremendous power-up. The planet was starting to shake as a result. They both had enough power to level the entire Digital universe. Not even Shintomon would even imagine that this would happen. This battle may even surpass that of the previous one with the D-Reaper.
"Go get him, Tai!" Sora said.
"You can do it, Tai!" Saber Veemon cheered. "Remember, we're here when we need you!"
"Dad… This is it. Time to show us what you're made of," Max said as he was slowly regaining consciousness.
Omega X turned to face his family. A smile formed across his face, which assured them that he was going to win this battle.
Everyone looked on with awe as the world around the two fighters was beginning to crumble under their feet. Soon, the entire Digital Universe was feeling the after effects of the fighters' combined force.

Battle 's End! Bebimon's Final Extinction!
Omega X takes off towards the smoke cloud and comes into contact with Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian came walking out with one eye closed up and his entire body bleeding from many deep cuts. His body was starting to strain on him.
"TAICHI! I hope you're satisfied… with this…"
"You bet your ass I'm happy. It's time to finish this, Bebimon. You're reign is way overdue. Hear the clock? Tick tock. Tick tock. That's the sound of your reign of terror coming to an end."
Bebi-Metalla X roared angrily as a chunk of land started to crumble under his feet. He proceeded to power up and unleash his tremendous power. The land started to give way to his mere power-up. Omega X clenched his fists as his power rose rapidly. The power donation had definitely done its trick and help increase Omega X's power. The land started to give away to their tremendous power-up. The planet was starting to shake as a result. They both had enough power to level the entire Digital universe. Not even Shintomon would even imagine that this would happen. This battle may even surpass that of the previous one with the D-Reaper.
"Go get him, Tai!" Sora said.
"You can do it, Tai!" Saber Veemon cheered. "Remember, we're here when we need you!"
"Dad… This is it. Time to show us what you're made of," Max said as he was slowly regaining consciousness.
Omega X turned to face his family. A smile formed across his face, which assured them that he was going to win this battle.
Everyone looked on with awe as the world around the two fighters was beginning to crumble under their feet. Soon, the entire Digital Universe was feeling the after effects of the fighters' combined force.
"This battle alone will determine the fate of the human world along with the digital worlds," Lady Moinanea said.
"Agreed. If Tai fails… No he can't fail. He won't fail! I'm determined to make sure that never happens!"
This brought a smile on the demigoddess' face and she comfortly wrapped her arms around the deity digimon.
"She's getting awfully comfortable with me. Taichi. It's all on your hands now my friend."
Suddenly, a massive barrage of blows was connecting with tremendous impact. But not only did they inflict great power, but tremendous speed. It was like none other. Omega X and Bebi-Metalla X were once again facing off as the smoke began clearing.
"With my power fully restored, I'm officially giving you a well deserved ass whooping."
"No! You're wrong! I say that you're still weak as ever, human insect!"
"Then, why not try showing me this power. You say that I'm weak as ever, then try and prove it."
"That I will! You just pushed your luck!'
With that said, they stopped their jabbering and began charging towards each other. They unleashed a wave of ki blasts. Each made impact with one another, but neither was about to slow down just wait. After a few seconds of beating each other to a pulp, they both took a slight breather.
"They're just about worn out! But how could they have lost a lot of energy that fast?" Kara wondered.
"Easy, Kara. That's because their power is much higher and it rapidly fades faster," said Mystic Celesta. "Trust me. It's no easy task to keep that much power intact."
"I see. Well, lets just hope that luck comes to Tai's favor," said War Angemon.
"He will. He's my dad after all," Max replied.
"For our sake, let's hope that Max," Kaiser Greymon said.
"We're behind him all the way. We're here when he needs us," stated Gallantmon.
"Kick his ass, Tai!" Saber Veemon exclaimed. "Do it for Team Goggle Head!"
"Um, nicely put," Sakuyamon muttered.
"You can do it, dad! I believe in you!"
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Meanwhile, Gosenzomon watched the battle unfold from his viewing orb. Buddamon stood by his side and watched in anticipation. Behind them were X and BW. They were feeling out Omega X's overwhelming ki, which was quite a feat since his power was radiating all the way from a planet outside the digital plane of existence.
"This is incredible, X! I've even managed to pick up on their ki all the way from where they are currently confined," BW said.
"Are you surprised? You shouldn't be."
"I still cannot believe that this is the same Tai I've been dueling with."
"As you can see Buddamon, those friends of his managed to donate most of their energy to Taichi. Wasn't that just awesome what those four did? I'd never thought we'd see the four goggle head leaders take that upon themselves!"
"It was simply amazing, elder," Buddamon said.
"Ugh, those two lovebirds!" Gosenzomon muttered as he saw a view of Shintomon and Lady Moinanea together. "I wish I was in that boy's position right about now. I love my deities young and fresh…"
"Elder! This isn't the time to go oogly eye on a woman right now," Buddamon retorted.
"Typical old geezer," BW muttered. "Next thing you know, the old timer gets a nose bleed every time he sees another girl."
"Those two ought to be using the holy water now," X said.
"They already used it," replied Gosenzomon. "Takeru and the kids were revived. They should use it to revive the people of earth and Planet Plant after this battle ends abruptly."
"Yes and that's just as important," the masked man stated. "The conflict won't truly end until we cure the humans of Bebimon's dark seeds."
The group stopped to continue viewing the battle about to take to extreme measures once again. They put all of their hopes onto Omega X. If he fails now, then the entire Digital Universe would crumble under Bebi-Metalla X's power.
Planet Plant
Back on the battlegrounds, Bebi-Metalla X was slowly starting to show signs of wear. The monster was slowing down by a sudden power decrease, but his thirst for vengeance has kept him alive. Omega X gazes on with a confident smirk. Eventually, the warrior started to yawn at his adversary's pitiful attempts. Bebi-Metalla X took this to offense.
"You know something, Bebimon? You are really starting to bore me. I thought you would have been a threat to my power, but you mean nothing to me anymore. Too bad it had to happen to such a beast like you. Pitiful, isn't it?"
"What! You dare mock me, Taichi! I'll make you regret those damn words! I'm not about to be defeated by the likes of you! My invincible hand will rule this planet, the earth and the digital worlds! Not even you can comprehend that."
The Tufflesurian beast fires away a massive energy blast, which Omega X was able to dodge. Omega X jumps up and flips the beast off. Bebi-Metalla X roared angrily and pounded his fists into the earth around him. He throws out numerous of blade discs, which Omega X was easily able to dodge.
"Missed me."
"No! You're going to die, Taichi! I swear to it! You will die!"
Bebi-Metalla X unleashed a massive power up and caused the ground to crumble under his feet. A massive lava bed was slowly starting to form as a result. Smoke starts spewing, which started to shroud Bebi-Metalla X. Omega X was now in trouble. The Tufflesurian lord was now able to move freely through the smoke without being detected. Omega X lost track of his enemy. Bebimon sought an opportunity as he planned on creating a massive Revenge Death Ball. The Death Ball was now twice as large as it was before.
"This is my last shot! If I can't rule these worlds, then no one can! Say hello to death, Taichi! Hopefully, you stay in the after life forever with no return!"
With that said, Bebi-Metalla X hurls the Death Ball over towards Omega X. The warrior turns as the ball came right at him. He held it back and attempted to intercept it. Bebi-Metalla X looks on with satisfaction as his Death Ball had hit its mark. Omega X struggled to prevent the Death Ball from plowing him over.
"Dad! Hang in there! You can do it! You're my father and my respect for you will never end! Just use my strength and my mother's love to help guide you!"
Omega X took his son's words to heart as he looked to see Sora standing by Max's side. He looked over at his friends. But the Death Ball was pushing Omega X and towards a cliff side leading to a pit of lava. Bebi-Metalla X cackled like the madman that he had become.
"Yes! You're going to die, Taichi! You're going to die! It's time that we end this!"
Omega X looks back to the encouraging words that Max had given him. He looks back to the moments when he and his family were happily together. He uses their love to help increase his strength.
"I won't fail you. Sora. Max. Kari. TK. Takato. Tamers. Legendary Warriors. Everyone, especially you, Matt. I won't give up! I'll fight to the death!"
(Play Digimon Zero Two Theme Target –akai shougeki-)
Omega X cries out as his body started to bulk up with tremendous mass. He easily stopped the Death Ball in his tracks, much to Bebi-Metalla X's dismay. He quickly started absorbing the energy from the Death ball into his body. Bebi-Metalla X couldn't believe it. Max stood by and cheered on his father's efforts. Sora couldn't have been happier. The others were starting to become more confident of the warrior's efforts.
Omega X expelled the Death Ball's energy into a tornado and watches as it dissipates into thin air. Bebi-Metalla X was in utter disbelief, which only brought a confident grin on Omega X's face.
"Sorry, hairy. But there's no way you'll defeat me like that anymore. Back to the drawing board for you."
As soon as he said that, the warrior cried out as an aura formed around his body. He cups his hands behind and forms a massive energy blast.
"I think you know what's coming up, Bebimon. Yes, it's time for you to roll over and die."
"No! Just because you expelled that Death Ball, doesn't make you anymore of a god."
"I'm not just a god. I could very well be that being itself," Omega X muttered.
Bebi-Metalla X howled angrily and started backing away. Omega X could sense the fear from the beast as he charges up a ki aura. Max stood by and held his mother's hand.
"You can do it, dad. His energy is depleting. Now this is your chance to restore Keke's dad."
Keke stood by next to Max and held his hand. The children were hoping to have Yamato revived from Bebimon's control.
"TERRA BEAM! TIMES TEN!"
Omega X launched his Times-Ten Terra Beam over at Bebi-Metalla X, which connected with tremendous impact. Bebi-Metalla X goes flying back and is sent towards where the others were standing. Everyone scattered as Bebi-Metalla X landed.
"Whoa! That was close, dad! But that was hell of a hit!"
"So, is he dead?" Gallantmon wondered.
"He has to be or that wouldn't have done crap to him," said Kaiser Greymon.
"We can't be sure," replied Magna Garurumon. "This guy is one tough beast."
"No. I can still hear a heartbeat," said War Angemon.
"He's right. This is far from over," replied Mystic Celesta.
Omega X levitated as he gazes down upon the fallen and unconscious Tufflesurian beast.
"Go on, dad! Finish him off!" Max cried out. "Oh crap. I forgot! Keke, we can't destroy your father. We have to get this monster out of him."
Keke nodded and placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. A teary smile forms across her innocent child-like face.
"Don't worry about it. Go on. It's okay. We will save countless of innocent lives in the process."
"Are you really cool with that, TK?"
"Sure, Max. I'm sure father will understand. He would rather die than continue to be influenced by this bastard," replied War Angemon.
"I agree. Yamato would rather have it this way," said Pikkan.
"What do you think, Leomon?" Jeri asked.
"There's no other way. Matt would rather perish than remain under Bebimon's absolute control."
"Tell your dad to finish this," Keke replied. "Go on."
"Just get it over with, kid," Beelzebumon proclaimed.
"All right then," Max said as he looked up to his father. "This is our chance, dad."
Omega X nods and unleashed a blast that penetrates in the beast's back. War Angemon takes Keke away and leaps to the side. As soon as the light fades away, everyone looks on to see that Omega X had blown away Bebi-Metalla X's wolf-like tail. Bebi-Metalla X started to weaken as the beast's body started shrinking down to his earlier form.
"What the hell is going on! Why is my body decreasing in size? My power is depleting! I can't believe that bastard beat me! Yes, I can't stay in this form without the tail. I have no more use for this body."
(Repeat Target –akai shougeki-)
"He… He did it!" Shintomon exclaimed. "Yes!"
"I knew he could do it," Lady Moinanea replied. "With the tail removed, the beast will lose his power and return to his normal status."
"You knew about the tail?" Tike asked.
"I certainly do."
"How?"
"A thing called research. You ought to try it sometime, kid."
As soon as the beast's body shrunk down, Bebimon's slime form oozes out through Metalla X's back wound. The liquid substance forms into a ball and started bouncing away.
"Look! My dad has returned to normal!" Keke cried out.
"Grr! That jerk is getting away! Let's go and stop him!" Kara said.
Everyone, excluding Max, Keke, Sora and Omega X, gave chase to the ooze substance. It quickly took the true form of Bebimon. He looks around to find himself surrounded.
"Heh and where do you think you're going?" Sakuyamon asked. "You're not going anywhere my friend."
"What do you say we tango?" Kaiser Greymon taunted the Tufflesurian.
"You won't be taking anymore bodies," Kazemon stated.
"We're about to give you the biggest ass whipping you'll ever receive. There's no escape?" Gallantmon said.
"You think so, eh? I'm always the one with dirty tricks in mind, smart mouth."
"You want to talk about dirty tricks? Stand aside you bums, this punk is all mine!" Beelzebumon said while loading his weapon.
Just as the warriors prepared to attack the Tufflesurian at once, Bebimon unleashes a bright light. This managed to rend his attackers blinded for a few moments. The Tufflesurian sets off towards his tower.
(End of theme)
"Dammit! He's getting away!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"We can't let him go! He'll just find another body and it's back to where we started!" Sakuyamon said.
"Ah! There's no way I'm going to deal with that again!" Beetlemon complained.
"If we don't do something fast, then he will snatch another body," Lowemon replied.
Omega X held Metalla X and laid him on the ground. Keke rushes over and gives her father a much deserved hug.
"Oh, dad. I thought I'd never see you again. Thanks Tai. Thanks Max."
"Oh, it was nothing," Max replied. "It was my dad that did all the work."
Metalla X slowly opened his eyes and gave Omega X a smile.
"Thanks, Tai…"
"Anytime, Matt. Anytime."
Elsewhere, Bebimon takes off towards his tower and looks around for his escape route. Mimi was seen in the distance as she called out for the Tufflesurian lord.
"Lord Bebimon! Over here!"
Bebimon looks over and frowned. Mimi runs up to him and crosses her arms.
"What the hell was that! Don't worry. Get inside and we'll restore you to your fully powered form. This battle is far from over! Taichi will die and I will see to it!"
"How do you presume we do that?"
"We'll transfer the energy from every person you possessed and allow you to take their energy. I have informed them and they're willing to accept. What do you say?"
"Bah! I don't need help from a vulgar woman such as yourself! Out of my way!"
The Tufflesurian pushes Mimi to the side and flies off inside the nearest ship. Bebimon sets the ship to launch mode and managed to fly off into the far distance.
"Lord Bebimon! Why are you leaving us!" Mimi cried out. "You can't leave us!"
The woman began to cry out uncontrollably, which brought dismay from the Hypnos team Izzy was rather embarrassed by the woman's childish behavior.
"That's it. There's no way I'll be associating with that woman again. She knows doodly squat about science and technology. Next time, I'll be in command."
"Whew, thank god," Talley said. "Mimi is here by fired from the team."
Mimi heard the news and fell face-first on the ground. She cried uncontrollably while slamming her fists to the ground.
"This is the Mimi I became partners with?" Palmon thought.
"Ugh, this just isn't my day…"
Max looks up and watches the ship leaving through the atmosphere at rapid speed. He rushes over to Omega X.
"Dad! Bebimon is getting away! We can't just sit here and let him go to earth!"
"Don't worry, son. I've got this under control."
"No way! This jackass is mine!" Metalla X screamed out.
"Matt! Hold on! You need to lay down and..."
"Shut it, Tai! I'm paying this punk back for taking my damn body! Bebimon! It's not over!"
As soon as he said that, Metalla X takes off into the heavens and amped up his speed like never before. The fused warrior manages to catch up to the Tufflesurian's escape ship. He phases in front of the ship's direction and puts out his hands.
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
Metalla X lets loose a massive blue-ki beam, which engulfed the entire ship. Bebimon manages to escape through the exit door of the ship and looks on to find that the one individual he had taken advantage of vaporized his getaway. The Tufflesurian came into contact with an angry Metalla X, whose eyes fueled with bitter rage and hatred.
"Yamato! Wait!"
"You're not going to get away from me, you bastard! You dare to take my body and take advantage of me!"
"Yes and I'll do it again if I wanted to!"
"Why don't you come on over and try?"
"Fine, you'd brought this upon you-"
Before the Tufflesurian even had a chance to finish, Metalla X phases out in front of the Tufflesurian and delivers a punch into his gut. The weakened mutant gasped with nearly all of the breath knocked out of him. The Tufflesurian backs away until Metalla X delivers a rapid array of punches. Bebimon took each punch and screams out in agony to the painful blows.
"Matt! Move out of the way! We'll take care of this!" Omega X calls out.
While Metalla X was punishing Bebimon with vicious blows, Omega X gathered Mystic Celesta, War Angemon, Kaiser Greymon, Gallantmon, Beelzebumon, Pikkan and Saber Veemon. They all stood together preparing to unleash their most useful battle techniques. However, they couldn't attack with Metalla X in the way of their direction.
"Matt! Move away! We're going to deliver the final blow!" Mystic Celesta screamed out.
"C'mon, big brother! He's tormented all of us not just you! We deserve every right to destroy this monster once and for all!"
"Dad! Please! Let's end this nightmare! If we finish this fast, then we get reunite as a family again! Please, no more violence! I can't stand it anymore!"
Metalla X immediately listened to the cries of his daughter and finishes his assault by pushing Bebimon away with an invisible force. He makes eye contact with Omega X and grins.
"He's ours, Tai."
"Thank you, Matt! All right everyone! Let him have it!"
Bebimon was still attempting to regain his senses but he was unaware of the onslaught that was about to take place. Metalla X levitates near where his allies were preparing to unleash their attacks. He took a stance and prepared to implement his most devastating technique.
"Damn those humans! Damn every last one of them! Wait! What's that large amount of ki I'm sensing… Huh? Oh… Oh crap…"
Bebimon felt his body being restrained by an invisible force as he looked down to find Shintomon holding him in place with a psychic force.
"You're not going anywhere, you little freak."
"Damn you, higher digimon! I'll break free!"
"I'm afraid not. You're time is up."
"This is your chance, Taichi! We have him where we want him!" Lady Moinanea informed the warriors.
"Oh my mark, fire!" Omega X calls out.
"SABER V SLASH!"
"CHAOS FLARE"
"LIGHTING JOUST!"
"HOLY BEAM!" War Angemon cries out his technique.
"DRAGON FIRE CROSSWBOW!"
"THUNDER FLASH ATTACK!" bellowed Pikkan.
"TSUNAMI WAVE!" Max screams out.
"SEVEN HEAVEN'S BEAM!"
"ICE BARRIER BEAM!"
"Let him have it, Tai! Let have it!" the other Digi-Destined called out.
"Do it, Tai!" Sora said.
Omega X cupped his hands together and forms an energy ball in his hands. He cries out his ultimate technique and thrusts his cupped hands forward. Out of his hands came a powerful beam of energy that managed to cause the heavens to tremble under it's sheer might.
"TERRA BEAM!"
Bebimon screams out in agony as the combined blasts merged into a massive sphere and pushes the Tufflesurian back. The combined energy blast flew through the planet's atmosphere. Several moons were annihilated in it's way with Bebimon's screams echoing throughout the galaxy. Bebimon loses control as the gigantic energy ball sends him towards the direction of the sun.
"No! Damn you, Taichi! You and your damned friends! I'm going to-Crap! The sun! This can't be happening to me!"
The ship quickly exploded as it made impact with the sun. His entire body was immediately disintegrating into data fragments.
"TAICHI!"
The Tufflesurian let out his final screams before he was absorbed and turned into ashes due to the sun's tremendous heat. The last of Bebimon's ki faded.
Everyone felt the disappearing ki, which brought a smile to Omega X's face.
"I can't feel Bebimon's ki anymore. It's over, guys. We did it and I couldn't have done it without your help."
"Aw, it was nothing," War Angemon said. "We had to do it. At least, the nightmare is finally over."
"Ugh, I could use a vacation," Beelzebumon muttered.
"Mission accomplished guys," Kaiser Greymon said while giving a thumbs up to his friends.
"I couldn't have said it any better," Kazemon replied.
"This calls for a celebration, Kumamon!" Beetlemon implied.
"Yeah! You said it!"
"We did it, dad! We really sent that jerk packing!" Max said ecstatically. "So, is it time to get going?"
"Yeah, we're going home, Max. That's definitely our plan. So, is everyone back to normal? I would think so."
"We have one more thing to do before we proclaim this as a mission accomplished," Shintomon stated. "The holy water... We need to use the holy water to restore everyone else on this planet and we'll use it for the people on earth."
"But I commend you brave warriors. If it weren't for you, then we wouldn't have survived," Lady Moinanea said.
"It was nothing," said Mystic Celesta. "All I can say is that the Tufflesurians can now declare themselves officially extinct."
"That's good to hear," Omega X replied. "But, I could use a vacation and a hot bath. My body is aching."
Everyone was starting to laugh as they marched on forward to Bebimon's tower. From there, they would restore their friends using the holy water from Shintomon.
And so … With Bebimon laid to rest and his evil conquest shattered, our heroes go about to restore everyone that has been enslaved by Bebimon. Omega X, with the help of his comrades, saved the Digital Universe from destruction.
Earth. Worldwide view
Shintomon had previously poured a large portion of the holy water over the world. Amongst those cured from Bebimon's seeds were many of the Digi-Destined worldwide.
In Japan, those individuals freed from the seeds were Ken, Yolei, their son Sam, their daughter Naomi, their youngest daughter Maika, Hawkmon and Wormmon. Others included Cody, his wife, daughter Sara and Armadillomon; also Joe Kido, his wife, son Joseph and Gomamon. Tentomon himself was also cured and those Wild One digimon previously possessed by Bebimon. Kazu, Kenta, Ryo, and their digimon partners were also cured. Cyberdramon was cured though the dark presence within him remained and was more than pleased to have Bebimon out of his way.
In America, Michael, Betamon and the other American Digi-Destined were amongst those free from the Tufflesurian control.
The Digi-Destined from Australia, India, China, Russia, Mexico, Paris, and Hong Kong were free as well. Derek, Mina, Yuri, Anna, Sonya, Rosa, Catherine, the Poi Brothers, and their digimon were among the Japanese Digi-Destined allies and were glad to be free of Bebimon's dark eggs.
Mummymon arisen from his hiding spot and looked across to see that the humans were returning to normal. He and Impmon's partners walked out as they celebrated.
The evil of Bebimon has finally diminished from the face of earth and Planet Plant.
Earth. Odaiba, Japan
After a gruesome battle against Bebimon, our heroes left Planet Plant and arrived back on their home planet through abandoned spaceships. Shintomon used the holy water to revive everyone that was brainwashed by Bebimon's influence. This included every digimon as well.

Tai walked out of a ship as he began stretching out. Agumon soon followed as he fell asleep.
"Man! I could use a week's rest after that battle. Hey, Sora. You think we better get going already? I miss being in my bed."
"That's so like you, Tai. You always rely on sleep than exercise, do you?"
"What the hell did I just go through? I would definitely consider that exercise. I almost got my ass killed."
Sora simply smiled as she picked up Tai and planted a kiss on his lips. Max fell down next Agumon.
"Stupid Tai," Sora muttered. "Just the way I love you."
"So, Agumon. How was it like that new fusion form? It must have given you guys a lot of power."
"Max. Let me tell ya, we definitely felt like a different person. I was really surprised that we managed to overcome the beast's power."
"Wow. That must have been something."
"I can't believe you're still a kid," Takato replied as he came walking by towards Tai and his family. "I kind of figured that your form would have restored your age."
"I was kind of surprised myself. I was kind of hoping to return to normal, but I guess fate told me that I should stay as a kid. I love being a ten year old again."
Sora sighed in disbelief. Not only did she have to worry about one boy, but also she had to take care of another.
"How am I going to explain this to the real estates? They're going to flip if they find out that my own husband hasn't even reached puberty."
"Aw, c'mon. They'll understand. Right, Max?"
Max giggled to himself and walked towards his father. Takato rolls his eyes in disbelief and looks over towards Rika. The red-head was standing at a corner with Renamon.
"Well, I hope you guys do well with the situation. Don't get yourself into trouble, Tai."
"You say hi to Rika for me."
Takato gives a wave to Tai and rushes over to Rika. Guilmon managed to catch up to Rika, who slightly turned to face him.
"Hey, goggle head. So is it true? Tai is going to have to remain a kid for the rest of his life?"
"For now. At least I hope."
"I kind of pity Sora. She's going to have to pamper her own husband."
"Heh and here I thought taking care of an ascendant boy was bad, just imagine taking care of the most powerful warrior in the Digi-Universe."
"Thanks for saving our hides back on that planet. I thought I'd be enslaved by that jerk forever."
"Not a problem. Guilmon and I are always there."
Rika walks over and gives Takato a light punch across his face. The goggle head took it kindly to heart and holds her hands.
"Goggle…"
"Its okay. It's not like anyone is watching."
With that said, the two Tamers pressed their lips towards each other and kissed like they've never kissed before. Every other Tamer looked on.
"Yeah! Way to go, chumley! Go all the way!" Kazu cried out.
"Yes! All the way!" Guardromon said.
Rika peers over towards Kazu and Guardromon as she gave them both a death glare. They turned away in defeat and knew that Rika was going to bite their heads off.
"Kazu. I think I would rather have my head still attached to this good ol' body."
"No kidding. Let's just let them have their privacy."
"I'm so happy for them," said Jeri. "Pikkan, are you okay?"
Pikkan was facing another direction and it seemed that the Alterian had something in his mind. He turned to face the brown-haired girl with a smile.
"Oh don't mind me, Jeri. I'm just thinking."
"Anything in particular?"
"Nothing really. I'm just glad we managed to get out of there in short peace."
"I didn't remember a single thing that happened after I was brainwashed."
"I think it's for the best. Let's get going, Jeri."
Pikkan levitates up towards the skies while carrying Jeri in his arms. Terriermon looked on as he attempted to fly up with his ears, but to no avail.
"I believe I can fly! I believe I can fly the skies," Terriermon muttered to himself.
"Just keep dreaming, Terriermon," Henry said while keeping back some chuckles.
"Hey! I can dream, can I! I really do believe I can fly the skies!"
Takuya laid back against the ship's doors while looking across to find J.P. showing off his magic tricks to Tommy, Kouji and Kouichi. He noticed that Zoe wasn't with them. He felt a light tap on his right shoulder.
"Need some company, Takuya?"
"Uh, that you, Zoe?"
"No, silly. It's Pamela Anderson."
"You're definitely better looking than her."
Takuya turned to face the blonde-haired Chosen Child. She drew Takuya closer to her and plants a kiss on his lips. Takuya was stunned beyond belief at first but went along with it. J.P. looks on with jealously.
"Why does Takuya always get the girl?"
The kissers pulled away from one another and gasped with relief.
"What was that for, Zoe?"
"For your heroic efforts, Takuya. You were awesome out there with Tai, Takato and Davis."
"What can I say? The goggle heads always rule all."
"Silly Takuya…"
The two Chosen Children shared a laugh with one another and walked off to continue their conversation.
Tai was yawning like never before. Max and Keke were asleep in each other's arms. Matt and Gabumon came waling up towards Tai.
"So, how's everything going for you Matt?"
"Sorry for everything that happened," said Matt. "I just couldn't control myself with that creep inside of me."
"It's all right, man. There wasn't anything that you could have done. But we managed to drive him out of you."
"I thought I would gone back to my old, dark roots. I nearly killed you and everyone else."
"It's all in the past. Let's forget it, dude."
"You're right. I'm just getting a little too panicky. At least, Mimi doesn't remember anything. Hey, Meems!"
"Yeah? What is it?"
"I could really go for a hot bath and a long nap right about now."
"Don't worry. From what I'm told, Shintomon is reviving the last of earth's populations. We should be getting home in a few minutes."
"So, Mimi? Did you really want to see me dead," Tai joked. "I mean I even saw you screaming your head off? Wow! I thought I never see the day that you become a bloody-thirsty queen."
"Um, Matt? What's he talking about?"
"Oh! It's nothing. He's just saying if you were to become a queen, then you'd become ruthless and ask to have Tai executed in some cruel way."
"What! You think that's funny! You know that viciousness isn't a part of my beautiful personality! Wait till I get my hands on you, Tai!"
Tai giggled to himself as he turned around to face Sora. She picks him up and gives him a light spanking.
"Stupid Tai. I knew you'd get under Mimi's skin. So, Mimi wasn't told about her actions?"
"Fortunately, we didn't tell her. She would have gone on and insulted us for having too many wacky imaginations. But I definitely see her a ruthless queen."
"Just don't go knock on her door and tell her that everyday. I'd pity the day she start getting gray hairs."
"Ha! I can just see that happening!"
Everyone started laughing while watching the confrontation between Tai and Mimi. Mimi's expression after Tai's explicit remarks was priceless. Tai gives an innocent grin, in order to cloak his deviousness.
"And so there you have it. Our heroes. With their combined efforts, the Digi-Destined, the Chosen Legendary Warriors and the Tamers were able to overcome the powerful Bebimon. Tai has now reached a new pinnacle of fusion power and has established himself as a god-like entity. Once he transforms into Omega X, there is only one thing that enemies can do and that is pray. Pray like they've never prayed before."
Dorothy looked over at the Kamiya family and smiled. Tai looks over to her and gives her his trademark smirk and thumbs up praise.
"Thanks for everything, Dorothy. We couldn't have gotten out of that jam without you. You held back Bebimon when I was stuck putting up with more of Gosenzomon's screwy training procedures."
"Your very welcome, Tai. It is you I should thank. My power has increased after absorbing Avengemon's data. One of these days, I'm looking forward to going one on one with you. It would certainly be a treat. Davis helped me a great deal to combine our powers to form Saber Veemon. He also had a hand in this."
"Where is Davis anyways?"
"He went off with Sonja and their son somewhere. I wanted to thank him, but I'm sure he'll come around."
"Don't worry. He'll be sure to show up."
"Just you keep up with that training and we'll go at it again," Tai replied. "Hey, Sora. Ready to go home?"
"Ready, whenever you are."
"Max! Let's get going son."
Max slowly started to rub his eyes and gave Keke a kiss on her cheek. The boy flies up and awaits his father to meet up with him.
(End theme)
Suddenly, the ground started to tremble under their feet and caused everyone to nearly fall. This also didn't just imply to Japan, but the entire world.
"Hey! What's going on here!" Tai wondered.
"An earthquake, but it isn't like the normal ones we usually receive!" Max replied.
Just then, Tai had remembered the Black Digicores. He looks up to the heavens to find Lady Moinanea and Shinotmon landing to where everyone gathered.
"Shintomon! Do you know what's happening?" Takuya asked.
"I'm afraid I have bad news," Shintomon said.
"No, I figured it out already and I can't believe how stupid I am to have forgotten," Tai implied. "The Black Digicores…"
"…were used and wished by Bebimon," Lady Moinanea said. "They were used on Earth, but this is quite strange. Normally when a wish is made through these digicores, the planet to which it was used on would detonate within a year. But the digicores were used nearly a week ago."
"How does that explain the earthquakes!" Takato asked.
"That's the thing. The black digicores' wishes were never meant to be made outside the digital plane of existence. Earth is not a digital planet… Therefore, the planet will detonate much more rapidly."
"How long do we have?" Keke said.
"Unfortunately for you, we only have two weeks to evacuate the whole planet," Shintomon said. "The planet will detonate unless a sacrifice is made."
"Then I shall make that sacrifice," Lady Moinanea said. "I created those digicores and I brought you all to this mess! It's my responsibility. Please, allow me to atone…"
"Lady Moinanea, you can't really mean that," Tai said.
The Earth now faces a cataclysmic crisis. Bebimon has indeed been laid to rest, but the consequences are great. The Tufflesurian used the Black Digicores nearly a week ago. The Earth has only but two weeks to evacuate… However, Lady Moinanea is determined to put her life on the line for the sake of earth. Will she make the ultimate sacrifice or will our heroes help to evacuate the entire planet?

(Preview)
Tai: Hi everyone! It's me, Taichi! The Earth faces a great crisis! Our home is about to detonate if we don't evacuate everyone to the Planet Plant! It's either that or Lady Moinanea takes her own life away.
Kari: Lady Moinanea. You can't really mean to sacrifice your own life for the sake of our planet.
Lady Moinanea: There is no other way. I created the black digicores… I'm responsible for this.
Shintomon: My lady! There has to be another way!
Takato: We had better make a choice. We only have two weeks.
Takuya: Earthquakes, storms, tornadoes, numerous volcanic activity, tsunamis… This is the worst time to have these many natural disasters!
Sora: Next time on D-Frontier!

Tai: Lady Moinanea, please you have time to reconsider… Don't take your own life away!
Yay! Bebimon is finally gone for good! We're technically done with the Bebimon Saga but we come down to this one chapter involved a decision. What do you think will happen? Will Lady Moinanea have the gull to take her own life away to ensure the destruction of the black digicores and erase the effects! Earth's fate is at stake. Until then, peace out!

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
Earth's Fate at Hand! Lady Moinanea's Decision!
Kamiya Residence
Ever since the startling revelation made by Shintomon and Lady Moinanea, the Digi-Destined and the Tamers were told to gather at the Kamiya residence. There was reconstruction being done to the areas that was devastated by Bebimon's rampage.
Tai sat down on the couch while everyone else were discussing the issues dealing with earth's fate. They only have two weeks until the planet detonates. The Digi-Destined leader has never been in such a tight dilemma as where he was currently at now. He's defeated many terrifying villains, but never in a situation where he would have to tell the entire world that their planet would be gone in short time.
"Ok, let's all calm down, everyone," Sora pleaded. "I know we're in a tight situation."
"You damn right we are!" Mimi panicked. "Now I won't be able to finish my modeling career and my daily day time programming!"
"Oh, mom. You're embarrassing me," Keke muttered. "Dad, what do you think?"
"I don't know about you, but we should tell the entire world. They have to know the dilemma we're dealing with. If they can't handle it, we'll just stuff their butts into the spaceship we used to get back."
"There's a problem with your idea, Matt. We won't have enough time to evacuate every human to the Planet Plant," Izzy stated.
"We only have two weeks. I'm sure we'll find everyone with Tai's Time Warp. Am I right, pal?"
"That ought to work. I think that's the only valuable solution other than using the spaceship."
"There's another problem," said Kari. "We have to make the people believe us or they'll think that we're making up stories."
"After everything we've been through the years?! I mean earth has dealt with a crazy artificial and a deletion program!" Davis exclaimed. "You'd figured that they would have not cared about threats anymore?"
"Good question. Our home planet has been under constant threats," TK implied. "It stems all the way back to Myotismon."
"This is all my fault," Lady Moinanea muttered. "I was too careless to have not seen this coming. Bebimon has taken advantage of my digicores…"
"My lady… Please do not fret," Shintomon whispered.
"Why shouldn't I? I am the one solely responsible for this. I didn't take into account that the black digicores would ever be used outside the realm of the digital world I hold authority over."
"It was an honest mistake. Look I'm sure there's a way to reverse the effects."
"I'm afraid there isn't."
This caused Shintomon to gasp in shock over the demigoddess' revelation of the digicores' effects. Tai and Agumon walk over to the pair with concerned looks.
"How's everything holding up?" Agumon asked. "Have you come up with anything that can help our cause?"
"I'm afraid not. There's no way to reverse the effects of the digicores," Shintomon spoke.
"No, there is a way!" Lady Moinanea stated.
"What?! You mean there is a way to reverse the effects of the wish made through the black digicores?" Takato asked.
"About time we had some good news," Kazu said. "I was just about to get a headache from all this worrying."
"I know what you mean, buddy," Kenta said.
"So, how do we reverse the effects? Just tell us what we need to do," Takuya said. "You can leave it to us."
"I'm sure you can have us complete some sort of quest," Zoe said. "I know two weeks doesn't sound too far off, but we can get the job done."
"No. You all do not have to do anything," the demigoddess said.
"Then, you want us to sit around and let the planet blow up?" Max wondered. "Sounds to me like you're quitting."
"Yeah. A demigoddess just doesn't give it all up," Rika said. "I thought you'd do better!"
"Rika. Please, let's not push this too far," Renamon replied.
"If you all please keep it down. Let her speak her mind," Tai said. "We're all on the same page here. Let's not turn this into another argument, because I'm not going to deal with this."
"Tai. We just don't know if we can trust her. No offense or anything," Kouji said.
"Then you shouldn't even bothering talking!" Max snapped. "You guys better keep your comments to yourselves!"
"Max. That's enough," Tai said. "Now, Lady Moinanea. You said there was a way to reverse the effects?"
"Yes, there is a process, which will reverse the effects. But it will require a great sacrifice on my part."
"Say what?! You mean you're going to have to throw your own life away just to ensure earth's survival?!" Tai cried out. "Lady Moinanea, there has to be another way…"
"I'm afraid there isn't, Taichi. I'm sorry. I will have to take my own life away. Shintomon, it's the only way. I'm dearly sorry for this."
"My lady…"
"No. I serve no other purpose but to ensure the survival of the black digicores. Since I am their creator, I must die in order to destroy the black digicores' effects."
"But you simply can't throw your own life away for our sake, Lady Moinanea! There has to be another way!" Takato said.
"That's right. You've been a great ally to us back when we saved you from the M-5 bullies," Guilmon replied.
"You do have time to reconsider this," Renamon said.
"I have made up my mind," the demigoddess promptly said. "If you'll excuse me…"
As soon as she said that, Lady Moinanea immediately phases out from sight and leaves everyone in surprised shock. They didn't expect the demigoddess to suddenly let them know that her life would be on the line. Shintomon sighed in disbelief and walks past the group.
"Shintomon? Are you going to be all right?" Sora asked.
"What do you think? Lady Moinanea is going to risk her life just to save this planet. How can I not be ok?"
"Look, Shintomon… We're all upset at the moment but we have to find Lady Moinanea as soon as possible before she plans to commit suicide," Takuya said.
"He's right!" Takato.
"Will you humans quit thinking about yourselves for a moment?!" Pikkan growls angrily. "Have you even considered Lady Moinanea's feelings? She's just as heart broken over this."
"Pikkan…" Jeri said while admiring the Alterian.
"He does bring up a good point," Henry said.
"What about Lady Moinanea wanting a time out period?" Terriermon wondered.
"That's not what I had in mind."
"Whatever the case. We have to find Lady Moinanea," Tai said. "Shintomon. We're more than willing to help you find her."
"Thank you, Tai. That's all I ever ask for. You see… I've…" Shintomon said as he started to blush.
The girls noticed the blush under the higher digimon's cheeks and giggled amongst themselves.
"Isn't that cute?" Kari said.
"Oh yeah. I didn't know ol' Shintomon had a crush on Lady Moinanea," Zoe stated.
"I mean it's all written all over his face," Mimi replied.
"I'll say. Those two would make a cute couple. Two deities in love. Aww, the romance even blossoms among the higher powers," said Jeri.
"Whoa! I didn't know you were in love with her, Shintomon! Aw, man! You dawg!" Tai said with a chuckle.
"It's really nothing… I just grew to like her very much. She's very elegant, pure and innocent."
"Well all girls are like that at first sight of love," Max said. "Then they'll grow to be real pains."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!"
"I mean you girls have cuddies."
"Do not! Take that back!"
"Sorry, Keke. I was just kidding around. Heh."
"Well, I'm not joking. She'll doing anything drastic at this point," Shintomon said. "I fear what she'll do to herself. Tai. If you will help me…"
"Have I ever let you down before? We'll find her."
"I'll help as well," Max said. "Besides, she's helped us through a lot to get where we are."
"Count me in," Davis replied.
"Don't forget us!" Takato and Takuya exclaimed in unison.
"Good. I want everyone else to warn the people about the planet's fate! The people of earth all have the right to know and contact the International Digi-Destined," Tai instructed. "We're going to need everyone's participation in this. All right, now with that settled. Let's go find Lady Moinanea!"
With that said, Tai and Shintomon led the team leaders out through the door to begin their search for the demigoddess. Their fellow Digi-Destined went about into the city to warn the people about the upcoming events to take place within two weeks. Izzy made sure to contact everyone of the International Digi-Destined to fill them in on the situation at hand.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Sitting next to his viewing orb, Gosenzomon sighed in disbelief over the events at hand. He was truly becoming agitated with Shintomon.
"Ugh, that boy truly doesn't know anything about his stance as a higher digimon," the elder muttered. "He's letting the love for that girl get to him. Does he not remember that those dark digicores can be brought together to the exact planet they were used before?"
"If that's the case, then I say you should rightfully regain your place as the overseer of the digital universe, my elder," Buddamon said.
"I see you're starting to get the picture, big guy. Shintomon will have to relinquish his title to me because he still has a lot to learn."
Just then, the masked warrior X and his assistant, BW, arrived at the scene with four artifacts. These artifacts were in fact the four black digicores. The elder digimon turned to make eye contact with them and walks over to take the four cores.
"Excellent work, you two. I just may promote you as guardians to this sanctuary."
"What?! I'm going to take orders from an old pervert!" BW retorted.
"Thank you, elder, but we'll have to decline. Our job is to watch over the planet earth," X replied.
"Well, all right. I thought it was a fair offer. After all, you did go through that trouble to find these four digicores."
"It was a synch. We had assistance from Seraphimon and the angel guardians," the masked warrior stated. "They were more than happy to lend us a hand."
"Good. With that settled, we won't have to worry about the earth detonating. On the other hand…"
The elder lowered his head in sadness. BW and X wondered what was putting Gosenzomon into a state of depression.
"What is Gosenzomon, sir?" X asked in worry. "Is there something wrong?"
"You're hiding something from us," BW stated. "Spill it! Don't leave us in suspense!"
"Fine. As you know Lady Moinanea is the sole creator of the black digicores, right?"
"Yes, we were aware of that."
"Well, in order to destroy the black digicores, she chose to sacrifice her own life and not put the people of earth at jeopardy."
"What?! She doesn't mean to go through with it!" BW exclaimed. "She's lost it!"
"No! She wants to rid the existence of the black digicores so that no evil can ever use them. Bebimon took advantage of them and look in what kind of crisis earth currently stands on!"
"But we brought back the black digicores like you told us!" X said. "The effects should wear off!"
"They will once you take them to earth, but you save prevent Lady Moinanea from taking her own life away. That poor boy, Shintomon, has taken a liking for that young lady."
"Whoo-hoo, go Shintomon! He's found himself quite the woman!" BW cheered.
"BW. This is serious. We can't let her take this course of action."
Gosenzomon waves his hand over the viewing orb to display a view of Shintomon accompanied by the four Digi-Destined leaders. Then another image appears through the orb, which displayed Lady Moinanea flying near a volcano steep.
"Oh no! She's not going to do what I think she might do?!" Buddamon gasped in shock.
"I'm afraid so!" X exclaimed. "BW, we have what we need. Now let us move out into the real world and present these to Tai and the others. Besides, we were planning to restore Tai's age."
"Yes."
"You two better get a move on! That girl is really planning to go through with this!"
"We're on it, Gosenzomon. BW, put your hand on my right shoulder."
With that said, BW did as commanded by X. The masked man used his own version of the Time Warp teleportation technique. They were instantly vanished from the sacred grounds leaving both Gosenzomon and Buddamon behind.
"Will they make it?" Buddamon wondered.
The elder maintained his focus through his viewing orb without replying to the panda digimon.
"It's all up to you, youngins. Shintomon, it's up to you to stop that girl. Perhaps you two really are meant for each other. It's a shame I never kept my youth. Otherwise, Lady Moinanea could have been mine… If those two ever decide to have kids, then I'll be more than happy to be their grand pappy… Shintomon, it's on your hands my boy."
Earth. Mount Fuji.
The view of Mount Fuji was tranquil and beautiful as it ever will be. It stands as the highest mountain in all of Japan, which stands nearly 12,300 feet. It has long been considered sacred since ancient times. It has been inactive for a long time since the beginning and remains quiet to this very day.
There were a group of figures flying in from the distance. The figures revealed themselves to be Shintomon, Omega X at his first level form, Max, Gallantmon Crimson Mode, Mega Veemon and Kaiser Greymon.
"Shintomon? Do you even know where we are going? At this rate, she could be anywhere," Mega Veemon said.
Just then, Shintomon felt a presence from below the altitude they were traveling at. He peered through the clouds to find a feminine figure making her way towards the top of the mountain. It was Lady Moinanea.
"Everyone! I've found her!" Shintomon shouted.
"Then, this is where we stop!" Omega X replied. "Let's go, Shintomon. You guys stay here. This won't take long."
Omega X takes Shintomon's hand and flies down through the clouds. The warrior lands and makes his way over towards the mountain's top. He goes calling out to the demigoddess.
"Lady Moinanea! Lady Moinanea!"
She does not make eye contact with the duo and continued about her walk towards the mountain steep. Shintomon leaps ahead of Omega X and takes off after the demigoddess.
"My lady! Do not do this! You have time to reconsider this!"
Lady Moinanea immediately stopped at her tracks and allowed a few tears drop down from her eyes. Despite this, she paid no attention to the higher digimon and walked off to the top of the mountain steep.
"My lady! You don't have to do this to yourself! We can talk this over!"
"Get away from me, Shintomon!"
These words alone were enough to stop Shintomon dead cold at his tracks. Lady Moinanea makes eye contact with the higher digimon. Her eyes were filled with sorrow.
"My lady!"
"I don't want you to see me like this. I've failed to save this planet from the digicores' effects. I let Tai and his friends down. I could have stopped Bebimon myself! How could I have been so stupid?! I don't deserve to be the watcher of my own realm!"
"Lady Moinanea, don't bring this all on yourself."
"I don't have the experience you or the elder possesses! I'm still too young… Perhaps it is the right thing to do to destroy the black digicores forever… In the process, I will have take away my own life… I shall atone."
"Lady Moinanea! Please, don't go through with this!"
"As I've said before, I have made my choice."
With that said, Lady Moinanea marches forward and stops at the edge of the mountain steep. She looks down to find a deep hole with a smoldering fog arising out of it. She began a prayer and looks back to her entire life, including her moments with the Digi-Destined.
"Taichi. Shintomon. Everyone. Thank you for being more than just allies. Because of you, Bebimon was destroyed forever. I don't know how thankful I am… But I knew it had to come to this. The Earth itself has paid the consequences, but I shall atone for the error. Angel Guardians. I transfer my full authority over to you. You shall watch over the realm. Taichi, you are truly one of a kind. Shintomon, I… love you…"
Just as the demigoddess finished speaking her thoughts, she takes a step forward and was ready to meet her fate by taking a plunge into the deepest pits of Mount Fuji. However, she was suddenly stopped as she felt two energy signals from her left direction. X and BW had finally arrived just in time with the four black digicores in custody.
"X? BW?"
"Lady Moinanea! You don't have to go through with this! We've brought the black digicores. Remember once they are brought to the planet they were used, the catastrophic effects will wear off. In other words…"
The demigoddess cuts X off and replies, "…the planet will remain intact and the digicores will regain their power. I don't understand. How were you able to retrieve them? It would have taken you a while to reach the western sector."
"We had a little help from Seraphimon," X said. "Cherubimon was nice enough to restore the black digicores to their absolute full power."
"So, they can be used? How wonderful!"
"Yeah and there's no use trying to kill yourself over it," BW said. "It would have been a waste."
"Lady Moinanea!" Shintomon calls out. "X? BW? It's good to see you but… Hey! The dark digicores! They're back intact!"
"No duh. I just got done explaining to this young lady over here," said X. "Hey, Tai! Over here!"
Omega X flies over the horizon and finally lands where the higher powers gathered together. He walks over and noticed the black digicores and had a surprised look on his face.
"How… How did you get those back intact?"
"I'll explain everything later. So tell me, Tai. You ready to be restored to your normal age?"
"Ha! I thought you'd never ask!"
"Dad!" Max cried out from the distance. "Dad! What the heck is going on down there?!"
"Max! Looks like you're old man is growing up again."
"Ah, man. It would have been cool if you would have stayed little."
"Well your mother wouldn't want it that way, wouldn't she?" Omega X laughed.
Shintomon steps forward to Lady Moinanea and wipes the tears from her eyes. She throws her arms around the higher digimon and causes him to blush all over his face.
"Oh, Shintomon! I'm so glad I didn't have to go through what I did! Will you forgive me for acting so stupid?"
"You are forgiven my lady. Besides, I knew you wouldn't have gone through it. You're too gentle to consider suicide."
"Shintomon…"
"You know you two ought to consider marrying each other if you like to hug each other," Max snickered. "My mom and dad do it all the time."
"Max! It's not what you think!" Shintomon said. "She's just become a good friend and ally…"
"Riiight. I saw you blushing! Don't deny it!"
"He's right you know," Lady Moinanea replied. "Maybe we ought to consider marriage."
"Isn't it too early for that?!"
"Actually, according to the elder, once a higher power sees love then he must marry that love," BW said. "Or it was something like that…"
"Oh, then why wasn't I told?"
"Because you never asked," X muttered.
"Aww, don't get too upset, Shintomon. I promise to be faithful," the demigoddess said. "You're the first person to even blush around me. I think it's cute!"
"My lady?!"
"Oh, there's no need for that title name. Just call me fiancée for now!"
Lady Moinanea takes Shintomon by the hand and started dancing with him. Everyone else looks on with sweat drops coming down the backs of their heads. Max laughed away at the demigoddess' antics.
"So, are you ready, Tai? It's back to being a boring old adult," X said.
"I'm ready. Besides, I want everything to get back to normal. Right, Max?"
"Yeah, yeah… Normal…"
"Wait till your mother sees that I'm back to my normal age."
"She'll flip, but she'll be blessed. I don't think mom will put up with reporters asking her questions about being married to an underage kid."
"Ah, I wouldn't mind the reporters! I"d be famous all over Japan and I'd have my own show!"
"Better not be reality."
"Maybe it will…"
While they carried on their conversation, Lady Moinanea threw herself into Shintomon's arms and giggled like a child.
And so… With the black digicores returned, the effects of the planet wore off and everything was returned to normal. That includes ever trace of abnormal activity. Tai was restored to his normal age and Sora has never been any happier.
Lady Moinanea and Shintomon actually wedded on the sacred sanctuary. Every one of the Digi-Destined, Tamers, Chosen Legendary warriors and the like were invited to witness the two married. Gosenzomon had never been happier than he was when he had the chance to see his descendant marry the overseer of the western sector. Now he was actually anticipating the moment they would have children.
Earth was now at a time of peace since the Bebimon fiasco and no threat has come about. However, all of that would soon change in due time…
A perfect shot view of a digicore belonging to Azulongmon was shown with a crack in the middle of it.
Earth. Odaiba
Cyberdramon was seen standing on a rooftop at the middle of the night. Apparently Ryo wasn't with him, but he kneeled against the ground as a human figure came walking out. His eyes locked onto Cyberdramon once the reptile held out what looked like a white digicore.
"Here it is… the digicore you requested. I was able to steal it once Azulongmon left his post."
The mysterious figure nodded and took the digicore. He examines it closely and forms a sinister grin.
"Excellent. Now, allow me to speak through to him…"
"Him?"
"Yes, him… Speak to me, Millenniumon."
Cyberdramon stopped at his tracks until 'he' regained control over the dragon. His eyes emitted a bright red glow and snickered deeply.
"Ah, yes… So phase one shall get underway?"
"Yes. The doorways to digital hell will be unlocked. I've made sure to pay a visit to those begging for revenge on the Digi-Destined and their allies."
"Excellent. With those fools dealing with their old enemies, we'll come closer to opening the doorway to the Dark Dimension. The time has come for the end of human civilization."
The human figure turns around and looks out to the city. He examines the sheer brilliance of the small orb.
"May dusk fall upon the age of humans. Your judgment day is at hand…"
With the black digicores restored and earth still intact, it seemed as though peace was restored. But this only delayed the inevitable. The digicores are starting to crack due to an unknown power. Who is this mysterious human speaking with Cyberdramon? What do they have planned by opening the gates of digital hell? Darkness is ahead for Earth's human age.

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Die, Taichi! The Revived Enemies From Digital Hell!
Highton View Terrance
The familiar setting... This was the exact area of the Odaiba district where the first digimon entered the human world. This is exactly where Tai and Kari witnessed the struggle between Parrotmon and Greymon. However, that was merely a memory and nobody would even remember that such an event occurred. Only the original eight can claim to have witnessed the event.
The night was young yet there was a downpour of rain. A man with a black trench coat came walking down the streets. The man's hair was long and jet-black. A cloth he had used to cover his mouth covered his pale face. Suddenly, he came to a stop as a figure came walking out of an alleyway.
"Who are you?" the man in the trench coat asked.
"Oikawa Yukio… No need to worry. I've only come for him…"
"What are you talking about?!"
Within a split second, the man named Oikawa gasped and fell to his knees. The mysterious figure merely smirked as he watched the man struggle and open his mouth. Slowly a glob emerged through out of his mouth and lands on the ground with a disgusting noise. The glob emitted a dark purple aura, which caught the figure's attention. A pair of hands emerged from out of the glob and reached out for the dark figure.
"Finally, you have managed to reawaken after a long sleep…"
The figure picks the glob from the ground and carried it off. He leaves Oikawa lying on the ground. The man had already entered a comatose state. With the mysterious individual carrying the glob, a pair of yellow eyes emitted a sinister glow. The figure stops and looks down at the glob. The 'thing' managed to utter its first words after many years of dormancy.
"…Kill Digi-Destined…"
"Don't worry, my friend. That's exactly what I have planned. Millenniumon. We have what we are looking for. The next phase of our plan is well underway."
Emerging from out of the shadows was none other than Cyberdramon. The partner to Ryo Akiyama steps forward and takes the glob.
"Excellent. I've already managed to infiltrate through Digital Limbo to inform Datamon. The Digi-Destined will be dealing with quite a crisis at their hand. This will bid us enough time to find the gateway through Digital Limbo to unleash the Synister armies out of the Dark Dimension."
"Yes and those Digi-Destined will have no chance to save mankind. The age of humans is near its end and we shall judge them one by one. Judgment day… How fitting for the upcoming apocalypse."
As soon as he finished his sentence, the mysterious young man walks off with Cyberdramon to hatch their sinister scheme. Meanwhile, a situation was well underway in Digital Limbo…
Digital Limbo
Digital Limbo was exactly how it was described. There wasn't anything pleasant about the dark environment. It had a sinister aura to it and was definitely not a place a pure-hearted soul would ever want to inhabit. On the walls were skinned bodies of the living that had tried to infiltrate the zone. Only a group of cruel-hearted individuals would ever commit such atrocities.
Despite being barren and quiet, one would figure that there would be villains inhabiting after being killed off by the Digi-Destined. There was one dark soul that was seen walking through the hallways of Digital Limbo. It was none other than Dr. Myuumon. Bebimon killed off the Tufflesurian scientist nearly a few months ago. He has made any friends during his stay and has done everything he could to escape. There would be no chance since he was already declared dead.
Just then, Dr. Myuumon came to a complete stop once he came across another sinister mastermind, Datamon. The sinister machine had rebuilt himself another body using the parts of his old Funkymon suit model. Datamon was responsible for the creation of the artificials and Virus. His own artificial creation, Jax, had killed him during a disputed argument over control of the operation to assassinate Taichi Kamiya.
"Hello there, Dr. Myuumon. I knew I'd find you here!"
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"I'm here to give you an offer."
"What kind of offer?"
"You are looking for a doorway out of Digital Limbo. Am I correct? You yearn for the day that the doorway would be open. Thus you can freely spring chaos and destruction on the human world."
"Yes, but what's it to you?"
"Together we can escape and leave this rat hole. I've already gathered a large massive group of villains who are anxious to invade the human world. Thanks to a human and a digimon possessed by Millenniumon, it's our only chance to escape. So what do you say?"
"Yes, anything to get out of this dump!"
"Excellent. Now I need your help. We need to quickly construct an artificial being with the capabilities of unlimited power. Something similar to Black War Greymon would do quite nicely. So, what do you say?"
"Help you? Ha! The offer is tempting but I decline. I've given up constructing life forms. After the Bebimon fiasco, I simply don't see the need to anymore."
"Lost your passion I see… Well, tell me this. Wouldn't you want to extract revenge on the one named Taichi Kamiya?"
Datamon's mention of the Digi-Destined leader immediately has gotten Dr. Myuumon's attention. The Tufflesurian scientist thought this over for a few moments until he finally gave in. Datamon extended his out in front of Dr. Myuumon. The two masterminds shook each other's hands to officially form an unholy alliance.
"I knew you'd see it my way, Dr. Myuumon."
"It'll be a pleasure to work with you. Let's get that artificial being constructed right away."
Odaiba. Kamiya Residence
The afternoon skies loomed over the city district of Odaiba. Life had finally become normal after the removal of Bebimon's essence. Every person went about his or her daily lives.
On the other hand, there were many that had put together dinner gatherings. Amongst those families were the Kamiyas.
Tai and Sora put together a big dinner gathering over in their apartment home. So far, they've managed to contact Mimi, Dimitri and Keke first. Followed by them were Takato, Rika and their digimon partners. Takuya and Zoe were also invited to the dinner gathering.
The dinner table consisted of club sandwiches, a plate of beefsteaks, mashed potatoes, and green beans… It was basically like a huge Thanksgiving feast even though it was not Thanksgiving. Fortunately, Tike and Kara didn't come or else they would have inhaled the entire table in order to satisfy their appetites.
Sora came walking in with a container filled with warm, buttery biscuits. Everyone's eyes were fixed onto the food.
"Wow, this looks so good, mom," Max said while drooling.
"So, what's this occasion?" Mimi asked. "It isn't even Thanksgiving…"
"No reason. Tai and I just decided we should throw together a big feast," Sora said. "After all, this is sort of a late birthday present for him."
"Yeah and it's sort of a celebration to commemorate his accomplishments," Agumon said.
"Knock it off, Agumon. What accomplishments? I'm just living a boring adult life," Tai said with a snicker.
"But we did save the earth from Bebimon! That we can be proud of! Max replied.
"Man. I just can't help but to stuff myself with these biscuits," Takato stated.
"Then eat already, goggle head. Nobody's stopping you."
"It's quite all right. I'm sorry for holding you guys up. You can eat at anytime…"
Just as the housewife was about to finish, the table guests had already begun to dig in. Guilmon and Agumon gathered enough biscuits to fill their bellies with. Zoe grabbed her a club sandwich and began to stuff it down.
"Whoa! You might want to slow it down, Zoe," Takuya said. "You'll choke if you keep this up."
"Mmf… Ummf… Grumf…"
"Ok, you might want to try saying that after you swallow your food," Rika replied. "Disgusting…"
With that said, Zoe swallowed the large portions of her club sandwich. She turns towards Takuya to reply to his statement.
"I can't help it if I get hungry. My stomach is literally a bottomless pit!"
"Hey, let's just be glad that Tike and Kara didn't come to raid the dinner," Tai said. "That would have been a disaster."
"Hey, look at this dad," Max said.
The boy took a plate consisting of a club sandwich and a piece of beefsteak. He grabs it and pours the whole cuisine down in his mouth. Keke turns away in sheer disgust over how much of a pig Max had made himself out to be.
"That's disgusting, Max!"
"Max! There's ladies at the table!" Sora snapped. "It's fine to show off with all guys, but show some respect please…"
"Yes, mother…"
"Heh. She told you," Tai teased the boy.
"Say, why didn't Matt come, Mimi?" Rika asked.
"Oh you know how dad is," Dimitri stated. "He always says that he has something to do."
"He's still obsessed in beating you, Tai. I try everything I can to persuade him," Mimi said.
"Aw, I wouldn't worry about him. He'll show up eventually. I know him like the back of my hand! Besides, I sure do owe him one more one on one match. I wonder how much stronger he's gotten over the months."
"He and Gabumon have been pretty much training like never before. I shudder to think what Omega X and Metalla X will do to this planet if they were clash," Biyomon said.
"I'd definitely watch just to see Tai and Matt get it on!" Takato said. "Man, wouldn't it be great if we faced you off, Tai?"
"Yeah! Don't forget me either!" Takuya calls out.
"Ok, guys. One at a time. You'll get your turns eventually," Tai chuckled.
"Strange. I thought TK and Kari would be here sooner," Sora said.
"Didn't they say they'd be here in twenty minutes?" Biyomon wondered.
"Well, they're really missing out on a good meal. If they don't come, then I'm getting myself second helpings. You up for a food race, Max?"
"You're on, dad!"
"First one to faint wins!"
"Ugh, here we go again," Rika muttered.
"They seem more like brothers rather than father and son," Renamon said.
"They are so alike in many ways," Mimi said. "And their manners are appalling. Keke. I don't want you to end up like them."
"Yes, mom."
"That goes for you too, Dimitri."
"Understood."
Suddenly, the front door bell rang as everyone turned towards the door. Max was the first to get up from the chair and walk over towards the door.
"Don't worry, guys. I'll get it," Max said. "That must be Uncle TK and Aunt Kari."
"Let's pray that they have Tike and Kara on leashes," Zoe said.
"No kidding! Hide the food!" Takuya exclaimed.
Max opens up the door, turns the knob and jumps back as the bodies of the twins fell onto him. The boy tried to shrug them off but Tike held onto Max with a tight grip. Kara managed to speak a few words through… as if she was giving Max a warning.
"Max…"
"What the heck happened to you two?!"
"…It was Artificial Jax," said Kara.
"Jax?! Wait, that name does sound familiar."
"What's going on, Max? Oh my lord! Kara! Tike!" Keke cried out. "What happened to them, Max?"
"I don't know but they did mention a guy named Jax."
"Artificial Jax?! Mom! Dimitri!"
As Keke called out to her family, they came running to the front door to check on the situation. Mimi gasped at the sight of the two unconscious children. Dimitri kneeled over to Tike and checked his pulse.
"Don't worry, guys. They're just in a comatose state. They'll come out of it."
"Hey! What's all the commotion about?" Tai asked.
"Look, Tai! Tike and Kara! What did this to them?"
"Did you just mention Jax?" Agumon asked.
"Yeah. That's what Tike and Kara told me," Max replied.
"So he's still out there?!" Tai growled. "I should have confronted him when I had the chance!"
"Who exactly is this Jax?" Zoe asked.
"He's Artificial Sonja's twin brother," replied Rika. "We never met him personally and I don't think I'd want to."
"Yeah. You Tamers weren't around then to actually meet him," Sora said.
"Don't forget us," Takuya scoffed. "We're curious to know."
"I find it strange that TK and Kari aren't with them," Sora stated. "I better go give them a call."
"I'm sure they'll get here. There's no need to call them," Tai replied.
"Hey, dad!"
"What's up, Max?"
"… You had better check this out! Look up there in the skies!"
With the boy pointing up towards the heavens, the group each had a shocked expression written across their faces. Tai found this quite puzzling. In the skies was a large dark hole widening its gap over not just Japan but over the entire planet.
"Um, guys. Care to explain to me what this is?!" Takato asked.
"Looks like a giant hole," Guilmon replied.
"How observant dinoboy," the redhead tomboy muttered.
Even as they were talking, the massive hole was slowly growing. The mere presence was giving off an eerie presence. The digimon even felt a dark aura of energy coming out of this hole. Guilmon's eyes went viral and his body trembled.
"Guilmon?"
"There's a scary essence coming out of that hole, Takato. I don't like it."
"What do you make of it, Agumon?"
"I agree with Guilmon. There's an evil aura coming from it. I wonder if Artificial Jax has anything to do with this?"
"There's only one way to find out. We'll get our answers once the twins get out of their unconscious states," Tai replied.
The boys took another glance towards the skylines to get another look at the immense hole. Now there was a cloud emerging from out of the cloud with thunder striking across in the background. Was this simply a foreshadowing of the devastating effects to come? Yes, because this is the hole that has opened up from out of Digital Limbo.
Just then, Tai stopped in place as he picked up a telepathic message from the masked man, X.
"Tai! Can you hear me?! This is X and it's urgent!"
"X?! Oh, hey! How's everything been?"
"Just peachy… Shintomon and Lady Moinanea are still together. I think the lady is due for a kid."
"Is that right?! Wow, Lady Moinanea's going to be a mom!"
"She's what?! Oh my gosh! How wonderful!" Sora squealed in delight.
"No kidding?! That's awesome!" Zoe said.
"Look, Tai! We're not here to talk about Lady Moinanea. I have some urgent news concerning that big hole in the skies."
"Do tell. We're really concerned since our digimon can sense something dark about it."
"It's going to be sort of complicating for me to explain, but here goes. Somehow your real and Digital Limbo have become stuck together in a space-time rift!"
"Say what?!"
East Shinjuku District
The widening hole, now classified as the dimensional rift between the real world and digital limbo world, was visible over the Shinjuku skies. The crowds of citizens gathered around to gaze upon the sheer complexity of it. By now, they would be used to seeing unusual occurrences with digimon but this one puzzled even them. There hasn't been anything of this nature since the time the Digital World was visibly seen above the skies and when Hypnos tested out the Juggernaut.
Amongst the crowds was Dorothy Kaimodosu. Much like the digimon, she too was able to sense the evil ki emerging from the hole. She is capable of this feat since she merged with her no deceased partner, Avengemon.
"Avengemon. What do you make of this?"
"Not good, Dorothy. We must inform Taichi and the others."
"But they probably would have known this by now. The hole is widening over the entire planet."
"It would be safe to assume. Still, we must warn the others."
"Right."
Just a distance from where Dorothy stood, A few other people were claiming that the end of the world was at hand.
"It's the end of the world! I tell ya!" a homeless bum screamed.
"Yeah, like we haven't been enar that road before," muttered a familiar voice.
Ken, Yolei, Davis, Sonja, their children and the digimon were looking above the heavens at the massive hole. Even the genius Ken couldn't make out to what was the result of this strange turn of events. It was beyond anything a scientific mind could comprehend.
"Um, Ken? Any idea what that hole is?"
"For once, I have no idea. It couldn't be a black hole. Otherwise, everything would be sucked in."
"What do you think could have caused this?" wondered Wormmon.
"My word. This has even the great Ken Ichijouji puzzled?" Hawkmon said. "That's a first if I do say so myself…"
"I'm no genius but I can tell that this isn't good news," Davis said.
"Ack! The Apocalypse is here!" Veemon panicked.
"What? Apocalypse? We can take care of a comic villain like him any day," scoffed Davis.
"That's not what he means, bonehead," Sonja said. "This is probably a foreshadowing of events to come."
Hypnos HQ
Even the technological crew of Hypnos were puzzled by this unnatural occurrence. This was nothing like the Juggernaut. In fact, anything a device is sent to calculate the proportions; it would freeze up and malfunction.
"Sir! Our devices aren't capable of getting near the hole," Riley said. "There has to be another way."
"There isn't," Yamaki stated. "This is isn't anything like the Juggernaut. It's not a vacuum…"
"It's more like a space-time rift," Izzy said.
"A space-time rift? What makes you think so?"
"According to an email from Gennai, this is coming from the Digital World. More specifically, it's coming from the depths of Digital Hell."
"Digital hell? Is that even possible?" Yamaki wondered.
"Anything is possible," Tentomon replied. "In fact, that's where the worst and most vile digimon inhabit after death… Oh no! That means they can freely pass through!"
"Yes and there isn't any way we can close it up. Yamaki. I don't think any of your gadgets will make any difference. You'll have to leave this up to us."
"I was afraid you were going to say that. All right, you two be careful out there," Yamaki approved.
"I'll go with you, Izzy!"
"Sorry, Talley, but we have to check this out on our way. I won't want to put you in harms way if what Tentomon said is true about the evil digimon passing through."
"Please? If I can come, maybe I can be of some assistance to figure a way to close the hole. Besides, I'd like to prove myself to Mr. Yamaki."
"But…"
"You might as well bring her along, Izzy," Yamaki said. "You two have become quite a team since I hired you."
"Ok, Talley. Let's get going!"
"Sure."
Outskirts of Shinjuku
Away from the city itself, there was a lone figure standing on top of a mountainous hill. The figure is revealed to be a human male. He was wearing a light tan jacket with denim blue jeans, green socks and blue shoes with white laces. There was an orange bandana wrapped around his neck and long, black hair reaching down to his shoulders. His icy, blue eyes were fixed upon the city itself. His body was setting off a purely black aura of sinister energy, though it was not ki.
This was Artificial Jax, who was not seen since the War Games and D-Reaper's demise years ago. He stopped dead cold as a voice similar to his spoke through to him telepathically.
"Artificial Jax. You and I are one of the same. We are set apart by time and space. But soon, we will at last become one. Relax, our meeting shall soon commence."
Digital Limbo
Standing across from a viewing orb were three individuals. Two of which were Datamon and Dr. Myuumon. The third one turned out to be a replica of Black War Greymon only with organic implants. This model was created from the machine parts of Datamon's scrapped Funkymon suit and an organic convict, who was trailed for many murders. The masterminds were able to distort the former human's mind and converted it into an artificial intelligent brain that was obedient to their command.
The cyborg digimon was setting off the same sinister aura as Artificial Jax was giving off. He was the voice that was speaking through Jax himself.
"The gates of digital hell have opened. I shall bring forward a torment of evil onto this world. Now, Artificial Jax… Let us begin!"
As soon as he said that, the organic Black War Greymon lets out a loud cry and sends out an enormous portion of his dark energy. It was sent towards the widening hole through the doorways between Digital Limbo and the real world.
Back on Earth
At the same time, Artificial Jax sets off his own wave of dark energy and transferred it towards the widening hole. The two energy forces collided with one another, which resulted in a devastating side effect. That side effect was that the hole was growing bigger in proportion than it has ever did before.
Every human across the people were stunned once the hole widened and watched as radical lighting was striking down across the globe.
Elsewhere in Odaiba
The Takaishi couple, Takeru and Hikari, had just received a call from Tai about their children. But they were memorized by the widening hole in the skies. Their digimon partners felt the same evil ki, which Agumon and Guilmon had felt. Kari fell to her knees and covered her head.
"The darkness, TK! The darkness is overwhelming!"
"Take it easy, Kari! We'll get to the bottom of this! First, we have to get back to check on the kids!"
"You're right… Gatomon! We're leaving now!"
Shibuya Park
JP was beyond shocked since he has never seen such a hole that he was gazing upon. He looked around to find at least one of his Spirit warrior comrades.
"Oh man! This is bad! I wonder if Takuya and Zoe now about this in Odaiba!"
"Hey JP! Over here!" Tommy calls out.
"Tommy? Hey, squirt!"
"That hole is getting bigger! Do you know anything about it?"
"I wish I knew…"
"Kouichi and Kouji are waiting for us at the train station. We can hitch a train ride to Odaiba to meet with Takuya and Zoe."
"Good idea. Let's get going!"
North Odaiba District. Strip Center
There was a local robbery as the crowds of people were running in panic over the hole in the sky. A robber took advantage of the situation as he broke through the glass window to snatch away a small refrigerator. Just as the robber was about to get away, a fist was thrown across his face.
"Put that back, punk."
The robber gets up as he came head to head with a blonde-haired young man.
"You dumb ass! I'll make you regret that!"
"Regret this."
With one more fist jammed against the robber's face, the man was sent flying across and caused him to lose consciousness. Yamato "Matt" Ishida delivered the fist to the man's face. Matt puts his fist down and turns his attention to the expanding hole.
"Gabumon? Care to explain this to me?"
"This is completely new to me, Matt. I haven't seen anything like it."
"It can't be that Juggernaut program since it can only provide as a vacuum. This hole isn't sucking up anything."
"But it could be a portal to another world. Perhaps our world," Gabumon said.
"Or worse… Hell itself…"
Shinjuku Park
Even Calumon and Impmon were curious about the strange hole that was widening over the earth's skylines. The white butterball attempted to fly up to investigate but Impmon grabbed onto his left foot to drag him down.
"What's the big idea, Impmon? You're a big mean!"
"You wanna get struck by lighting then be my quest, butterball. Don't you feel that creepy feeling coming out from that hole?"
"Yeah, but I'm still curious to know a little more about it."
"Take it from me, kid. You don't want to get close to big holes."
"Why?"
"Psh, how should I know? I just learn from those movies about some 'Black Hole' thing."
"You need to stop watching so many movies…"
"Critics… How I love them."
Elsewhere in the park, Jeri sat from her a long nap against a tree to notice Leomon and Pikkan gazing towards the heavens. The teen was curious to know what her partners were looking at. As soon as she stepped forward, she stopped and gasped to watch the hole widening its overwhelming presence.
"Where did that hole come from, Pikkan?"
"We don't know but there's a good chance it's a result of a space-time rift."
"Though we don't know the source of it ourselves," said Leomon.
"Gee. I wonder who or what is responsible for this?"
Outskirts of Shinjuku
Meanwhile, Artificial Jax powered down from his energy transfer and snickered to himself.
"I can feel the power of the underworld surging through me! What overwhelming and sinister power! I love it! Earth is in for a shock for which it has never seen! Ha! Ha!"
Digital Limbo
Dr. Myuumon and Datamon were looking on through the underworld's viewing orb to witness an array of dark digimon soldiers entering any parts of the globe, America and Japan included. The Tufflesurian scientist nods with approval as he watched an army of Vilemon and Cultivarmon launching attacks on helpless people. The mad scientists couldn't help but be amused at the destruction ensuing.
"It seems the first part in our plan has turned out to be a success, Datamon," said Dr. Myuumon. "The powers resonating in the two artificials have perfectly fused these two worlds together"
"Then, we should have a toast, my friend."
Datamon pours himself and his partner-in-crime two glasses of red wine. The cyborg hands one over to Dr. Myuumon and gave each other a 'cheers'.
"I am grateful of you, Dr. Myuumon. If it were not for your theories on the permutation of machine parts, it would have been impossible to create these two halves of the one perfect artificial being. Ah, it's going to be glorious."
Datamon turns around to make eye contact with the Hell-Black War Greymon model.
"My dreams of replacing humans and digimon with true artificial intelligence have finally been realized."
"Artificial intelligence?"
"Of course… When our models have become one entity, their abilities and strength will far exceed that of Virus'. But, then…"
The cyborg looks back to the events that had led up to his demise. It was about a decade and a half ago when he had released Artificials Jax and Sonja from their chambers. He wanted to carry out his order to kill Taichi, but they had rebelled. Jax was the more rebellious of the two. He wanted nothing to do with Datamon's sinister schemes.
Flashback
Datamon pushes the activation button on one capsule and watched as it opened up. Two hairs of hands came popping out which caught Datamon by surprise. Then, a young-looking boy sits up out of the capsule. He has long, black hair and a bandana around his forehead. He also had a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with a vest over it. This was the Jax model.
Jax looked over towards Datamon and nodded.
"Hello, Datamon. How are you?"
"Good. So your still functional?"
"Yes. You're my creator. I've never let you down."
Datamon turned to face Sonja and Jax as he was about to give out orders to them.
"Now you two go out there and finish them off!"
But as soon as he said that, Jax came up from behind him and quickly snatched the remote control out of his hand. This caught Datamon by surprise as he turned to face him with an angry look across his face. His eyes were boiling over.
"Jax?! What in the hell are you doing?!"
"So this is the remote that you used to seal us away? Well how about I hold onto this for you? What? Is there something wrong, Datamon? Maybe we should go directly to a more different approach."
As soon as Jax said that, he crushed the remote control with one hand. Datamon could only look on with shock as Jax threw the smashed up remote control on the ground.
"What?! What have you done?! You dare defy me?! Damn you to hell!"
"Heh. I won't let you do that again to us, insubordinate."
Jax came up from behind and punched his fist right through his neck. Datamon could only look on as he saw Jax's hand sticking right through his throat. Datamon looked down to see red-oil dripping down from his large open wound. He began coughing and gagging. He could barely mutter a single word now that Jax has taken out his voice box as well.
Datamon turned to face Jax with his throat completely cut open and caved in. He only managed to speak a few words left as his voice box started to go out.
"How… dare… you?! Damn… you! You'll… never… send… me… to… the depths… of hell…"
"Oh but you see. I already have."
And with that being said, Jax jumped up and blasted away Datamon's body with one single shot. This caught the Digi-Destined by surprise to see one blast completely destroy the body of Datamon. All that was left after the blast was Datamon's head. It came rolling down towards the Digi-Destined. Davis looked down at it with sheer disgust.
"To… hell… with you… Jax… I shall… see you… there… soon… enough…"
"Ha. Cocky for a dead man," replied Sonja.
Jax grabs Datamon's head and crushed with his own hands in one split second. All that was left as pieces of Datamon's head parts and brain matter. Jax wiped off the blood and the brain gush off of his hands and turned to face Sonja.
End of flashback
Datamon still hasn't forgotten that very moment. Those painful memories still lingered in his mind.
"Now using your theories, the human emotions he experienced should all but gone."
"Ah, so… We have two artificial beings. Both have equal power and no human emotions to slow them down."
"That's right."
"But what happens when these two come together? I mean, they would have to be capable of some amazing feats. Yes?"
"It was the artificials' lack of completion that allowed one of them to slip through the earth. That action opened the gap, and now I have control over it. When we cross over into the human's world, bringing these two artificials to form one perfect artificial being, no one will dare have to defy me!"
As they carried about their conversation, an image of Artificial Jax and Hell-Black War Greymon merging together is shown. Once merged, a new being had taken their place. A pair of sinister, green glowing eyes penetrates through their thoughts. The combined artificial's appearance remained a mystery even to the mad scientists.
"And then I will order him to wipe out those to whoever stood their ground and opposed my machine reign! Ha! Ha!"
"But, before any of that you're going to do away with a certain Digi-Destined and his allies, right? We still have those Digi-Destined, Tamers and Legendary Warriors to deal with."
"Taichi will meet his demise. But simply killing him with a quick assault doesn't utilize the kind of vengeance I have planned. That pathetic human and his band of merry Digi-Destined will never know what hit them! Besides, I know of some old friends of his who would kill for the chance to have a word or two with him."
With that said, Datamon turns around to find two mysterious figures within the realm of darkness. One of which was a short being with an odd-shaped oval head, sinister crimson eyes and a long lizard-like tail. The other was a tall stature individual with insect-like wings; his face seemed human with a crown-like appendage rising up and split in the middle of his head. The two sinister beings snickered once they heard the mention of Taichi's namesake.
"I bet you two are really dying to see your old friend again," Datamon said. "Don't worry. You'll get your revenge soon enough. Ha! Ha!"
Odaiba. Kamiya Residence.
The twins were able to wake up from their short comatose states and found themselves in Sora's bed. Tike was the first to come around and came face to face with a worrisome Mimi.
"Huh? Aunt Mimi?"
"Oh, Tike! Thank goodness!"
"Where am I?"
"You're hanging at our joint," Max said. "Don't get up so fast. You and Kara were in unconscious states."
"No kidding. I wouldn't ever want to wake up for a hundred years," Tai replied.
"Hey, please do us a favor… Don't tell mom and dad about us getting beat up," Kara said.
Mimi replied to the twins' demand and gives them an assuring wink.
"You almost had us scared there!" Palmon exclaimed.
"Tell us. Did you two really get into a scuffle with Artificial Jax?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. We're really curious," said Keke.
"If you could only explain it in full detail," Takato said. "Rika and I don't exactly know that much about this guy."
"Nor do we," Takuya and Zoe butted in.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hold it right there! Geez, give us a little room to breath here!" Tike said as he let out a deep sigh. "Ok, now where to begin… Oh yeah! Kara and I were just on our way over here. We kind of snuck out of our home to get here ahead of time. You know how our mom is when getting ready to come over. She has a wardrobe of clothes that she simply can't choose over!"
"Plus she takes forever," Kara scoffed. "We couldn't stand it anymore and took off."
"Boy, did we ever pay for it. As soon as we were passing through our hometown, a jackass came by and threw us off our course!"
"Whoa, watch it with the potty mouth," Mimi said. "Now continue…"
"We couldn't believe that we were punked out by some normal human!" Kaka said. "Or so we thought… We didn't know he was actually a bio-cyborg much like Davis' wife, Sonja."
"He gave us a warning…"
Flashback
Artificial Jax launches an energy blast, which knocks away the twins effortlessly. Tike leaps in front of Kara to take the blast head on. However, the combined blast was strong enough to knock both twins down. Jax levitated over his new adversaries and points out towards the widening portal hole within the heavens.
"Do you see that, kiddies?"
"What the hell is that hole?!" Tike managed to spit out.
"Heh. You're looking at the portal gateway into Digital Hell."
"Digital hell… Is that even possible?" Kara wondered.
"Yes. Everyone of those who were killed by Taichi and his allies are going to come out of that hole to extract their revenge on Taichi."
"Uncle Tai?! What do you have against him?!" Tike asked.
"Just let him know about this! By the way, this message is from Artificial Jax in case he's wondering. Tell him that if he wishes stop the invasion, then he must come to Digital hell! We'll be waiting for that fool there!"
With that said, Artificial Jax takes off into the distance and left the twins to recover from their devastating wounds.
End of flashback
"And that's the whole story," Tike said.
"Wow, did you really have to go into full detail?" Keke said.
"Well no… Heh. Heh…"
"So he wants me to go to digital hell? Hmmm? What do you think, Agumon?"
"I say it's a trap but it's worth investigating!"
"I'll go with you, Tai," Takato said. "There's no telling what kind of trap they might spring on you."
"Sounds good. I'll probably need a partner in case things get out of hand."
"Can't you simply win by transcending into level four?" Max asked.
"We can't always rely on strength, Max," said Sora. "Sometimes, you need to use the ol' head. Right, Tai?"
"Hum? I guess so."
Suddenly, the front door came open as TK and Kari came running in with Patamon and Gatomon. The Takaishi couple came running into Sora and Tai's room to find the group gathered together. Kari scurries over to hug both of her children.
"Oh, you two had me scared!" Kari cried out. "Don't you ever go and pull a stunt like this again!"
"Aww, mom. We're sorry," Tike said.
"We promise not to ever do it again," replied Kara.
"Well, now that we've managed to reunite you with your parents… I think we should take our leave, Takato."
"Right!"
"Hey everyone! You might want to check out the television! There's something you really have to see!"
"What's up, Dimitri?" Max asked. "Is there something we should know?"
"Just come on over into the living room and see for yourself! It's beyond anything I've ever seen!"
As soon as Dimitri led the group out from the bedroom and into the living room, Dimitri points out towards the television. Everyone gasped in utter shock at what they were viewing on the television. Local newscasters were capturing actual live footage of what looked like an invasion of revived enemies of the Digi-Destined.
"Folks! This is a live footage of what looks like an army of monsters emerging out from the hole in the skies! This is no publicity stunt! Holy crap! Here they come! Hit the decks!"
The Digi-Destined gazed at the monitor as two full screen shots were displayed with many familiar faces. One shot had displayed Lady Myotismon, Metal Tyrannus, Puppetmon, Neo Devimon, Metal Etemon, and Piedmon. The other shot fully displayed Mutalior, Elfmon, Ice Ladydevimon, the eleven deceased Devas, Dark Magimon, the original Devimon, Shadramon and an army of Vilemon/Cultivarmon.
"Holy crap! Look at that army!" Takuya exclaimed. "So, um… Tai and Sora faced these guys before right?"
"Uh huh."
"It'd be a pleasure to get some action right about now," Zoe said while cracking her knuckles.
"You said it blondie," replied Rika. "Renamon?"
"I'm looking forward to hacking up some weeds."
There were now footage shots of more villains attacking many parts of the globe. In Mexico, Machinedramon and Venom Myotismon were seen destroying parts of Mexico City. In Sydney, Elfmon and Makuramon unleashed an array of energy blasts. Meanwhile, in France, Etemon and Myotimon's forces launched an attack.
"This is happening all over the world!" exclaimed Tike.
"It's awful," Mimi said. "So, are you guys going to get off your lazy butts and take action?"
"Of course," Tai said. "I think Takato and I will pay those jack offs in digital hell."
"But what if Virus and Burizalor happen to be resurrected as well?" Sora asked.
"Who knows how much stronger they might have gotten over the years?!" Biyomon stated.
"Oh, I'd like to try them out. I really want to see how much stronger those two buffoons have gotten," Tai said.
"Finally! I get to see them in the flesh!" Takato giggled like an excited schoolgirl.
"How can you two say that so casually?!" Rika snapped. "There's no telling if this is all a ruse to trap you."
"We'll know once we get there," Tai said. "Takato. Let's get going."
"Right behind ya."
Eastern Shinjuku District
Running across the streets were Izzy and Talley. The young man was carrying his ever famous laptop and scurries into an alleyway. He sets his laptop down and scans the entire area.
"This is crazy! Did you see all those monsters emerging from out of that wormhole?!"
"I did and I'm going to see if there is any direct passage into the wormhole. All right, so far there's a pinpoint through the center. The hole is now at about 45,000 inches in diameter."
"What?! That's not possible!"
"And it gets worse. The bigger the hole then the more invaders will pass through. Our digimon are going to have a hard time dealing with an army of our old enemies."
"But what about Tai and the others? Surely the fusion digimon can take care of the job."
"There's no doubt about that but the numbers of our enemies will be the bigger issue. Still, who would carelessly open a wormhole from out of digital hell? I'll have to contact Azulongmon and ask him about the situation."
"Izzy!" the buzzing cries of Tentomon echoed.
"Tentomon! What have you found?"
"Um, an army of green little men heading our way."
"Oh, how observant," Izzy muttered. "Oh! I've gotten a worldwide view of the planet. So far, Tokyo and the many surrounding districts are amongst the world's cities under attack."
"AH! IZZY! BEHIND YOU!"
As soon as Izzy turned around, he came face to face with a Cultivarmon. Tentomon reacted to his partner's cries and immediately struck the green alien digimon with an electrical shot. The shot barely even phased the critter since Tentomon's attack was much too weak.
"Tentomon! You forget that these little guys are ultimate-level and there's no telling how much stronger they've gotten. Time to digivolve!"
"Um, I don't think they're going to give us enough time for that Izzy," Tentomon said.
"What makes you say that?"
"He's right, Izzy. Take a look around us."
The genius took his eyes off of his laptop screen and scanned around their surroundings. They found a large group of Cultivarmon walking down through the alleyway screeching.
"Any bright ideas, Izzy?"
"None at the moment…"
Outside of the Kamiya Residence
Standing outside of the apartment complex were War Greymon and War Growlmon. Their respected partners hopped on their backs.
"You guys have a responsibility to carry out!" Tai calls out. "Kick some butt out there! The world will definitely need your help! I'm sure you'll get the job done fast."
"Tai! You better be careful! You too, Takato!" Sora exclaimed.
"Dad! Show then what you're made of!"
With an assuring nod, Tai gives a thumbs up to his son and motions over to Takato. The digimon pair takes off into the heavens towards the expanding hole. Their journey into digital hell was well udnerway and they would have to deal with some of their most sinister adversaries through the other side.
The remaining Digi-Destined and Tamers were left to take action against the opposing enemy threats closing in onto Odaiba.
"You heard him, guys! Let's kick some ass!" Takuya said. "Ready, Zoe?"
"I thought you'd never ask."
"EXECUTE! Spirit Evolution!"
The pair whipped out their D-Tectors and immediately transformed into their H-Spirit forms.
"Agunimon!"
"Kazemon!"
"Renamon! This is a job for Taomon!"
"That sounds pretty cliche, Rika, but agreed. Renamon shinka!"
The bipedal vulpine evolves into a four-legged fox with nine tails.
"Kyuubimon!"
After that, Kyuubimon digivolves straight into Taomon after a little boost from Rika's blue card slash.
"Taomon!"
Taking immediate action, TK merged with Patamon to ascend into War Angemon. On the other hand, Gatomon and Kari were fused together with the power of their D-3 to transform into Mystic Celesta.
"Great! All we need is Biyomon and Palmon to digivolve. Then, we can clean out the trash," Keke said. "Tike. Kara. How about we play around with some of the wimps?"
"I'm up for it!" Kara cheered.
"Just lead the way to those wimps. I could go for a little curb stomping," Tike said.
"Well then, I suggest we better not waste anymore time," Mystic Celesta. "Let's be sure to come out looking like winners!
"Pssh like we need it," snickered War Angemon. "Kids. Be careful."
As soon as everyone who had powered up, they took off into different sections of the city. Palmon and Biyomon digivolved into their champion forms to tag along with Sora and Mimi.
"Hey, at least we're reliving our childhood dreams, Meems," Sora said.
"Yay! March on ahead, Togemon!"
"Birdramon. I just hope we're not getting too old for this," muttered Togemon.
"Nah. We should do fine. We'll easily deal with the weaklings. TK and the others can deal with the big boys."
The time was officially set. The battle for earth was well underway. The Digi-Destined, Tamers and Legendary warriors united must defeat their old enemies sent through digital hell itself. Time was of an essence if they had any hopes of closing up the wormhole. Faith was also left to Tai and Takato as they embark into the interior of the wormhole itself.
East Odaiba District
Crowds of the Shinjuku residents were retreating as an army of Vilemon led by Skull Satan and Marine Devilin destroyed the surroundings. The villains cackled once they unleashed their destruction upon the masses.
"Oh boy! Does it feel good to be back?!" Skull Satan cackled.
"You said it! Now we'll exterminate these pests and proclaim this in the name of the Demon Corps!" said Marine Devilin.
"Now attack Vilemon! Spread out and kill every human you find!"
Chattering amongst themselves, the Vilemon hordes swarmed across the city in search of their prey. A little girl was seen falling down and left at a vulnerable position. A pair of Vilemon came swooping down with ferocity.
"Feast upon the human! Ha! Ha!"
Just as the Vilemon hordes approached the girl, a figure came speed blitzing through the Vilemon and quickly deleting each one of them with ease. The figure picked the girl up and flew her over to her family.
Skull Satan and Marine Devilin were taken back by the warrior's speed. The figure revealed himself to be War Angemon.
"Whoa! Whoa! Who is that bloke?!" Skull Satan wondered in bewilderment.
"I don't know but he just screwed up our fun time. Let's make him!"
"Right!"
"You two don't know what you're getting yourselves into. How I used to be scared of you I have no idea…"
Once the Demon Corps pair launched themselves at War Angemon, the angelic warrior sidesteps them and cups his hands together.
"Oh crap! He sidestepped us, Marine Devilin!"
"I… I didn't even see him move!"
"Well, you were once the fastest warrior known in the Digital Universe at one point."
"Eat this! HOLY BEAM!"
War Angemon unleashes a massive energy blast, which is sent hurtling towards the two Demon Corps members. However, the Demon Corps were spared once a fleet of Vilemon were caught in the blast and sacrificed in the process.
"Damn! Those little creeps are starting to annoy me!" War Angemon cursed.
"Ha! What did you think? You'd actually thought you would have done us in?!" Marine Devilin said. "All right, boys! We have him where we want him!"
With that said, Puppetmon and Metal Tyrannus emerged out from the ground behind War Angemon. The angelic warrior found himself surrounded by the four Demon Corps. Strangely, Piedmon was not with them at the moment.
"Great. Just what I needed… Nostalgic enemies who won't stay dead."
"We'll show you who's nostalgic!" the four Demon Corps exclaimed in unison.
"Please shoot me… Uh… I wonder how everyone is faring."
Sydney, Australia
Derek and Coleamon were in quite a tight situation. His team of veteran and young Australian Digi-Destined were not faring well against the dragon deva, Majiramon.
"Blasted! There's no way we can take this guy down! Where's Tai and the Digi-Destined when you need them?!"
Meanwhile, another threat managed to come right out of hiding to attack the unsuspecting civilians. It was the energy absorbing artificial, Elfmon.
"Another one?! Coleamon, these two are too much even for us to handle!"
"Ah! You're forgetting about me ol' chap," Makuramon calls out. "MAKA!"
"Ok, this is officially out of our league. I say we retreat, Coleamon."
"I'm not going down without a fight!"
"You can't win against them! You'll be wasting your own life if you fight them at your current state!"
"I'll just have to give it a try!"
"No, Coleamon!"
"Sorry, boys! But that won't be necessary!" a feminine voice calls out to them. "HOLY BEAM!"
Mystic Celesta comes diving out from the heavens and unleashes a ferocious wave of energy, which catches Makuramon off guard and quickly incinerates him into data. The Australian crowds cheered away at the angel's attack.
"Yeah! One bloke down and another two to go!"
Elfmon and Majiramon prepared themselves to launch an all out assault on Mystic Celesta. Yet the female had other thoughts on her mind. She directs their attention towards the background behind them. Majiramon turned around to find Kaiser Greymon slicing him in half with his sword. The dragon's body is split in half and becomes an easy prey target for the Zeta-Hybrid. Kaiser Greymon puts his sword out in front of him and lets loose a massive fire blast.
"Dragon Fire Crossbow!"
Within a matter of seconds, Kaiser Greymon wastes Majiramon with his finishing tactic. All that was left was Elfmon and without any allies left.
"Next!" Kaiser Greymon announced. "I could get used to these warm ups!"
"Screw this! I'm out of here!" Elfmon shrieked. "I didn't just get revived just to kick the bucket again!"
"Figuratively speaking, right?" Kazemon's voice whispers behind the artificial.
As Elfmon turns around, he is immediately met with a barrage of kicks to his face.
"Tempest Twist!"
"Great job, Kazemon! I'll take it from here!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
The angelic warrior takes a dive down towards Elfmon and plows through the artificial. This resulted in Elfmon exploding and left as a pile of debris. The only thing left of the artificial was its head.
"Man, these guys are wussies!" Kaiser Greymon said.
"You're telling me! Kari, I can't believe these guys were once considered threats to your and your friends!"
"Well, times have changed. Come, we have some more cleaning up to do."
"Thanks again, Kari! I wish you and your brother well!" Derek calls out.
"You too, Derek. You and the Australian Digi-Destined will always remain in our hearts. You should have no problems with the Vilemon hordes. We'll leave it to you."
"We'll take care of them. You have other countries to save."
"All right, Takuya! Zoe! We're heading out!"
Mexico City
Rosa and Monochromon were running off into the distance while attempting to avoid the attacks unleashed by Machinedramon.
"Ai! Yai! This is not what I had in mind!"
"Why don't you contact Ken and Yolei?"
"Good idea, but now isn't the good time!"
"Hold still you pests!" Machinedramon hissed. "Giga Cannon!"
Once the monstrous cyborg unleashes a barrage of energy blasts through his cannons, Rosa leaps away and Monochromon protected his partner by taking the shots head on. Monochromon quickly losses power and de-digivolves back into Gotsumon.
"Oh no! Gotsumon!"
"Now you die! Giga-"
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
Machinedramon turns around and is met with an ice beam, which engulfed his entire body and completely destroyed his armored body in the process. Rosa looks up to find Metalla X with his arms crossed.
"Yo! Gracias, Yamato!"
The fusion warrior simply nodded his head and flew off into the distance. He had easily dispatched Venon Myotismon earlier and saved Mexico from destruction.
"Oy. I wonder how Ken and Yolei are doing," Rosa said. "Oh, Ken… If only we could have been together."
"She's still obsessing over Ken. That girl will never grow up," Gotsumon muttered in thought.
East Shinjuku District
Max and Keke looked up towards the heavens to witness the wormhole widening its radius.
"Keke. I just hope dad and Takato make it out."
"Have faith in them, Max. I'm sure everything will turn out just right."
"Come back soon, dad."
Digital Limbo
Arriving at the central section of digital limbo, War Growlmon and War Greymon made their stop to investigate the area. They left their human partners to walk up towards a row of steps. They were simply astonished by the dark and depressing environment of digital limbo itself.
"Whoa. So this is digital limbo? I expected there to be fire and a bunch of red evils dancing around," Takato said.
"Kid. You've been watching too many horror movies. This is a much better perspective of limbo. Nice and quiet…"
"Well, yeah unless you're anxious of coming here."
"Not anytime soon."
"Welcome, boys!"
Tai and Takato stopped at their tracks as they looked up to find Datamon and Dr. Myuumon gazing down upon them. Both evil masterminds sported a sinister grin. Behind the scientists was none other than Hell-Black War Greymon.
"Hey, it's Dr. Myuumon and… who are those two?" Takato said.
"Takato. Allow me to introduce you to Datamon, the mastermind behind the artificials and Virus himself."
"It's really good to see you again, Taichi. Ah, I see you've brought your protégé. Takato Matsuda, I presume?"
"Yeah? What do you know about me? Anyway, it doesn't matter since we're taking you down!"
Datamon looked across to find War Greymon and War Growlmon phasing in front of their partners.
"So this is Guilmon's ultimate form: War Growlmon. He would have been the perfect test subject. In fact, he could have made a perfect artificial."
"Let's cut the crap and get to the damn chase," Tai snapped.
"Unfortunately we don't have time to be playing with you now," Datamon replied.
"Yes. We have more important matters to attend to back on Earth," replied Dr. Myuumon. "Now if you excuse us. We'll be off."
As soon as Dr. Myuumon finished his sentence, the two masterminds and Hell-Black War Greymon took off through the wormhole into the real world.
"Damn! They're getting away! War Greymon!"
"War Growlmon!"
With that said, the digimon picked their partners up and immediately took off towards the portal. However, the wormhole was immediately closed up and no longer available for use.
"Damn it! We're too late!" Tai cursed.
"Don't tell me we're going to be stuck in this smelly place?" War Growlmon said.
"I think that would be the case," implied War Greymon.
"Damn! This really sucks! I should have taken Sora's word of advice seriously!" Tai snapped.
"Don't blame yourself, Tai. I was duped, too. We were all duped."
"But what about the others? I just hope they can carry on without us," said Tai.
"I'm sure they can carry on without us. It's not as if that new artificial will pose any threat to them," said War Greymon.
"He's right. We need to just take it easy and contact X about this," War Growlmon said. "Maybe he knows a way out of here… I hope…"
"He's our only chance now…"
Shinjuku District
Everyone involved in their respected battles were stunned in silence as they witnessed the hole sealed up. Max took this to heart and fell to his knees.
"Oh no… So it was a trap…"
"Max."
"No! Dad should have taken mom's warning seriously! How could he and Takato have been easily fooled?!"
"They wanted to take care of that Jax guy."
"But, don't you see?! He lured them in there. How can we even hope to get that hole opened up?!"
"Maybe we can be of some help," the voice of Izzy spoke up.
"Izzy?!"
The children turned to see Izzy, Kabuterimon and Talley. They had escaped the fiasco with the Cultivarmon after Tentomon digivolved into Kabuterimon. He dealt with the alien digimon to allow Izzy and Talley time to escape.
"You might know a way to help my dad through?"
"Max. Take it from me. Never underestimate the mind of a technical genius."
"Make that two technical minds," replied Talley as she gave Izzy a wink.
"Thank you, Izzy. This will really benefit to our cause," Keke said.
"All I ask in return is your patience. Ok, Max?"
"Do whatever it takes, Izzy. I don't want dad and Takato trapped in there forever. Who knows what traps those creeps have set for them."
Digital Limbo
"Damn! I should have known we'd been duped! How could I have been so stupid?!" Tai ranted on.
"I can't believe them! They only dragged us in there and wanted a fight! Those liars! Wait until we get out of here!" Takato snapped.
"Datamon! Dr. Myuumon! You sent all of our resurrected enemies just to get us here! Curse you!" Tai cries out.
Just then, the digimon heard the echoes of footsteps from two opposite directions. Then a familiar haunting voice speaks out through the darkness of digital limbo. It sounded snake-like and sinister to the core.
"Oh I wouldn't say that, Taichi."
War Growlmon and War Greymon stood their ground to guard their partners once the sinister creature revealed himself. He was short in stature, has an odd oval-shaped baldhead, his skin was completely white and has a long lizard tail. There are dark blue patches on the top of his head, chest cavity, around the shoulders and on the knees. His eyes emitted a crimson glow, which gave off an eerie effect.
"Ugh! Burizalor!" Tai exclaimed.
"That's Burizalor, Tai? He doesn't like much of a threat to me."
"Oh no, Takato," War Growlmon said. "Don't be fooled. He has more power than you think. I can sense his scary power."
Then, another voice speaks out from within the darkness. This time it was deeper and had a more intimidating presence.
"We've never disappointed you before, Taichi. What makes you even think we'd start now?"
The group turns away from Burizalor to find a taller figure standing on a cliff. This individual was not only taller but had more power to wield. His skin hide was blue-green and on his back were a pair of black insect like wings. Underneath the wings was a tan-colored appendage with a needle at the end. His face was human-like in appearance yet there was purple streaks on the sides of his face and his eyes were pink with black irises. Over his head was a crown-like appendage rising up and split in the middle. His skins and forehead were black and his feet were yellow.
"And Virus?!"
"Whoa! He's Virus, Tai? Man, these guys look pretty tough!"
"Believe me, Takato. They are."
"We've been waiting a long time for this, Taichi," Burizalor said.
"Too long if I do say so myself," chuckled Virus.
"Well, I guess I put my own foot in my mouth, huh?" Tai said. "But don't underestimate us! My power has grown since the last time we've met!"
"And I'm his protégé, Takato Matsuda! I slain the D-Reaper and you two chumps are next!"
"Well, this ought to be amusing," Burizalor snickered. "But the rules have changed. You're playing under our rules down here in digital hell."
"So prepare yourselves, my friends!"
With that said, Virus and Burizalor leap off from the opposite ends of a canyon. The villains landed down to face off with the two respected leaders and their digimon partners. The fight was on…
Earth. Outskirts of Shinjuku
Looking on from beyond the city of Shinjuku was the mastermind pair and Hell-Black War Greymon. Datamon expressed great interest onto the city and grinned.
"Good. This phase is complete. Taichi and Takato are locked there permanently," Datamon said.
"If you feel the time is right, we can move straight into phase three," Dr. Myuumon suggested.
"Now! Engage the full force attack hell fighters!" Datamon calls out for every digital villain across the globe to hear.
Will Kari, TK, Max, Matt, the Tamers and the others be able to defend the Earth against this army of hell fighters with both Tai and Takato locked away? And will the teaming of Virus and Burizalor be too much strength for the beloved leaders to handle? Or will Crimson Mode and Level Four Fusion be enough to contest with these two revived villains? Has doomsday finally come for the earth? What about the mysterious human with Cyberdramon?

[Preview]
Tai: Hi, everyone! It's me, Tai! Well it looks like Takato and myself are stuck down in digital hell. But what do you know? We're left to fight Burizalor and Virus. These are among the two of the digital universes' most powerful monsters. They've put us through hell before but wait till they see level four!
Takato: Finally! I get to show my stuff against these two!
Burizalor: Don't get too overconfident, Taichi. I've developed new techniques down during my long captivity in digital hell. How will your Level Four Fusion form handle a thousand mes?
Tai: Great, it's Agent Smith all over again!
Burizalor clones: The problem with me is that there's so many mes.
Virus: This leaves you with me, Takato. I hear you're the protégé of the Digi-Destined woman who killed me. Crimson Mode will do no good against my new enhanced body armor.
Takato: We'll see! Kari has told me everything about you there is to know!
Virus: Too bad you haven't dealt with me personally!
Mystic Celesta: Meanwhile, we're still on Earth taking care of all the hell soldiers! There's just too many of them!
Saber Veemon: Hey, guys! Need a hand?!
Artificial Jax: Must find Hell-Black War Greymon to complete the artificial fusion.
War Angemon: This isn't looking good for our side. We have the power advantage but their numbers keep on growing!
Ken: Hell hath no fury. What do you want, Jax?!
Artificial Jax: I've come to recruit my dear sister, Artificial Sonja, to join me on our conquest to destroy mankind.
Takuya: Next time on D-Frontier!

[Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays]
The Hell Fighters Swarm the Earth! The Resurrection of Virus and Burizalor!
Digital Limbo
The ultimate battle was set to be determined between four super powers. Two of which represented the side of pure good and the way of justice. The other two represented everything pertaining to darkness and evil.
Takato and Tai stood their grounds as their two partners faced off with perhaps two of the most heinous villains of the Digital Universe: Virus and Burizalor. Both of these monsters were once threats to not just the Digital Universe but to humanity. They both came close to destroying the Digi-Destined. Now they were set to extract their long-awaited revenge on the Digi-Destined leader himself, Taichi Kamiya. At the same time, they would also get an opportunity to do away with the veteran's younger protégé: Takato Matsuda.
Virus steps forward and examines his two adversaries. He had his eye in contact with War Growlmon and chuckled deeply. Burizalor, on the other hand, looks over to War Greymon and immediately looks back to their fated battle nearly two decades ago.
"Heh. It's been a long time, Taichi," Burizalor broke the long silence. "I see that your partner has gotten stronger since the last time we've met."
"Don't be so overconfident Burizalor," War Greymon stated promptly. "My power has grown past yours. You'd be nothing more than a bore for me now."
"Are you sure about that? I wouldn't look past me just yet."
"Tai. C'mon, you don't seriously mean to tell me that this guy is Burizalor?"
"He is the one, Takato. I'll never forgive him for the number of lives he's taken away. Burizalor! I really hoped I'd never see your disgusting face again!"
"Ah, isn't that too bad? Virus and myself have been looking forward to this very moment. We were destined to meet again."
"That's enough out of you rat turd! Our partners are going to show you what they're truly made of!"
As soon as Tai said that, the villain pair shifted their focus away from the humans. The digimon prepared themselves while gathering energy from their partners' digivice/D-Ark.
"Now allow us to show you what you're going to be up against!" Burizalor exclaimed.
Burizalor quickly responds as he screamed out at the top of his lungs and unleashes a bright aura. He started to gather as much negative energy from his surroundings.
"Now! Keep your eye on me! Soon, I'll be grinding you two punks into the dirt!"
The bio-artificial immediately follows suit with Burizalor and becomes engulfed in a bright aura. He gathered every trace of negative energy from his surroundings.
"Whoa! Those two have quite a power on them!" War Growlmon said. "War Greymon, ready to kick it up a notch?"
"You said it! Tai! Now!"
"You don't have to tell me twice, buddy! Here we go! Fusion-"
"SHINKA!"
As soon as both called out their transformation call, Tai and War Greymon were instantly pulled together into a fusion. Their bodies molded into one single figure of perfect stature and ultimate power. In place of the pair was a warrior with magnificent body armor, a helmet shaped like War Greymon's face and a human face. There was a streak of golden spiked hair penetrating through the helmet itself. His eyes were purely emerald green and his golden aura gave off a heavenly glow.
Burizalor looks on with astonishment, yet remembers this mere sight very well. Tai/Agumon easily dismantled him in their fusion form, Omega X. Now, the warrior stood before the tyrant at a much higher power level than he previously was two decades ago.
"No. I can't allow myself to be defeated by this damn human. I will not allow you to defeat me, Taichi! You humiliated me!"
"Good. I'll be more than happy to do it again."
"What makes you think you even stand a chance, Burizalor?" Virus scoffed. "You lost legitimately to this warrior, yet I kept up with every move he could every deploy during my War Games."
"And don't think you're off the hook that easily, Virus. I've been able to ascend to three more levels since your demise!"
"Yes. I know, but really… You still haven't realized that we both have been learning new techniques since we were both sent to limbo."
"Yeah, I know. I figured you two would find ways to kill me even in death."
"Um, Tai. I don't mean to brag, but don't you think I ought to join in on the fun?" asked Takato.
"Be my guest."
"Cool! Guilmon, de-digivolve back to rookie! This is a job for Gallantmon!"
As soon as the goggle head teen gave his order, War Growlmon's form decreased back to his rookie form, Guilmon. Takato reaches out for his D-Ark and allows the device to shower them both with a bright downpour of crimson-light energy.
BIO-MERGE EVOLUTION!
"Bio-Merge! Activate!"
"Guilmon! Bio-Merge!"
"Gallantmon!"
As the light aura faded away, Gallantmon came walking out with his shield and saber intact. The villains were looking on with astonished glares. They were taken back by the amount of power Gallantmon was wielding.
"Wow, I must say that I'm impressed," Virus stated.
"It doesn't make a difference. He'll know his as a no nothing rookie!" the tyrant scoffed. "Now, Taichi… We were just getting reintroduced after these many years."
"Save it, Burizalor. We're here to kick your ass and get back home."
"Ha! As long as the gateways are closed, you'll never escape digital limbo!" Virus said.
"We'll see about that," replied Gallantmon. "When we're done with you, we guarantee that we'll be gone."
"Then prove your worth, rookie!"
"Tai! You leave this cocky punk with me!"
"Cool, because I've been wanting to shut that big mouth of Burizalor's. Let's go you dumb ass."
The icy tyrant merely chuckled and takes off into the distance. Omega X looks deeply into his adversary's strategy and follows him out. The fused warrior easily caught up with Burizalor and stops in front of him.
"Going somewhere, pal?"
"On the contrary, I just led you into a trap."
"Say what?"
The warrior looks about his surroundings to sense a large number of ki energy signals from within the darkness. Each ki were emitting the same amount of power as Burizalor single handedly has. Omega X looks around to find what he did not expect to ever lay his eyes upon: a large cluster of clones that looked exactly like Burizalor. The expression on Omega X's face and comments said it all.
"Oh crap…"
"Yes, that's a big 'oh crap'," stated Burizalor. "I told you that we've learned new techniques down here. This is one of my new tricks."
"How did you do this?!"
"You'll find out eventually. Now, clones! Spread out to attack the human!"
By his command, the Burizalor clones flew out around the warrior's surroundings and encircled him. The warrior found himself in quite a tight predicament.
"It doesn't matter how many of you there are, Burizalor! I'll still kick your asses!"
"Big words from a lone warrior. Your fellow Digi-Destined cannot save you now!"
"Like I need them to defeat you," Omega X retorted. "Takato. How are you holding up, kid?"
Back on the other side of the battlefield, Gallantmon charged across the barren landscape as he shielded himself with Virus' vicious blows. Each blow were already taking their toll on Gallantmon's armored form.
"Not looking good. Tai, these guys are no pushovers. I'm already struggling with this Virus guy! Kari was not kidding about him!"
"Don't lose focus, Takato. Remember everything Kari and myself has taught you! Remember your fights with Beelzebumon and D-Reaper!"
"Right! Got it!"
"What's the matter, Takato? Are you losing confidence in yourself?"
"No way you creep! I'm just wondering when you're going to get serious and show me what you're truly capable of. Those punches are starting to bore me."
"Oh, so they bore you? Very well. Let's kick this up a notch."
With that said, Virus delivers a front kick and slams it against Gallantmon's face. The knight is sent skidding across the dirt. Virus comes flying across and pummels away at the fallen knight digimon.
"What's that now?! Am I boring you now, Takato?!"
"Takato!" Omega X calls out to his ally.
"Where are you looking at, Taichi?! You're opponents are us!" the Burizalor clones exclaimed in unison.
"Want to know how I was able to create clones? Allow me to…"
As soon as the tyrant said that, he slams his hand and penetrates it through Omega X's chest. Rather than killing him, Burizalor unleashes a silvery liquid substance that starts to spread over Omega X's body.
"What the hell is this?!"
"How do you think I was able to clone more mes? Thanks to a few of Datamon's enhancements, I can create duplicates of myself by infecting my adversaries with this new virus. The virus spreads over the victim and eventually takes on the form of myself. Ingenious, don't you think? I was saving this one for you Taichi. Just for you alone."
"Damn… So you're a virus now?"
Technically speaking, yes… Don't worry it will all be over soon."
Omega X watched as the silver liquid came close to spreading all over his body. However, the warrior merely chuckled.
"Oh, so you think this is all a joke? You think this is funny?"
"No, but you didn't realize that I can still overcome your virus and ascend to the final level?"
"You're bluffing!"
"We'll see who's bluffing! LEVEL UP! FUSION LEVEL FOUR!"
With that said, Omega X calls forth the powers bestowed upon him and emits a bright red aura that spread over his body and deletes the virus that nearly engulfed him. Burizalor and his cloens were each sent flying back as Omega X eventually ascended through his third level form and finally into his most powerful level stage: Fusion Level Four. The half-beast warrior looks out towards Burizalor with an evil glare and immediately phases in front of Burizalor. The tyrant was in utter disbelief over the fact that his virus was overridden by Omega X's mere power alone.
"Sorry, Burizalor, but you should have known me better than that. That crap isn't going to work on me."
"Why you…! I'm not through with you yet, Taichi! RA!"
Two of Burizalor's clones came from different sides to grab Omega X but the warrior merely throws them off. He punches two away and kicks another in the face. He ducks under numerous punches thrown and delivers a spinning wheel kick to knock away three Burizalor clones. He leaps up into the air and comes down with a missile dropkick to another pair.
Omega X lands down on the ground and throws out numerous punches in mid-air to knock away several more clones with a mere gust of wind. He turns and delivers more kicks to incoming clones. He ducks under more punches while punching more in their guts. A Burizalor manages to grab Omega X from behind, but the warrior leaps over to kick away another clone. He grabs the Burizalor from behind and tosses him over.
After punching/kicking away more resilient clones, Omega X leaps away onto a rock ledge. But a Burizalor clone was in hot pursuit for the warrior and throws out a fist. Fortunately, Omega X sidestepped him with ease and allows the Burizalor to slam its fist through the ledge.
"Over here, you punk!"
The Burizalor clone turns around to be met with a single punch. This causes the Burizalor to explode on impact. The other Burizalors look on with stunned silence at the sheer power that Omega X had throw from a single punch.
"See that? I wasn't holding back that time. You guys still anxious to kick my ass?"
To answer the warrior's question, the clones responded by charging him. Omega X simply sighed in disbelief. He took on each and every clone with ease. He blocks out their punches, kicks several of them and punches away many others. Simply put, Omega X was bored with their antics and did not want to bother wasting his energy on what he considers 'peons'.
"Man, you guys sure can give me quite a workout! Keep it up! Wow, this is so much fun!" the cynical warrior said. "Yay…"
"Shut up, human! You can't us all on at once!"
"Huh? What the hell do you think I'm doing right now?"
Meanwhile, Gallantmon managed to push away Virus by unleashing an overwhelming aura of light. The artificial was blinded by the knight's light and Gallantmon had now taken advantage of the fight. The knight charges forward and knocked Virus up straight into the upper regions of limbo. Gallantmon follows in pursuit of Virus but realizes that he's nowhere to be found.
"Where did he go?!"
"Up here you fool!"
In response to the artificial, Gallantmon looks up to find Virus with his put out in front of him. He then lets loose a massive ice beam that flies towards Gallantmon with rapid speed.
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
"That's Metalla X's finisher! I've got to evade that as soon as possible!"
In response, the knight puts forth his shield and does everything he could to knock the blast away. Virus puts forth more power into this blast and succeeds in knocking Gallantmon away.
"Direct hit! How do you like that one, rookie?!"
With the smoke cloud building up, Virus scans the area where his adversary had fallen and senses a small ki signal. The artificial quickly pinpoints on the location of an overwhelming ki and turns to find an overwhelming energy beam hurtling towards him. Virus' eyes widen in shock at the sight but he manages to eave the blast. Gallantmon came out of hiding and slams his shield into Virus, thus knocking the artificial away.
"Did you see that coming?"
"That was quite… clever of you," Virus complimented the knight.
"I was taught by the very best."
"Figures. Hikari and Taichi have taught you well to evade such attacks. However, there's more to learn when you're up against an almighty artificial such as myself."
Virus lands onto the ground and steps into a battle stance with Gallantmon preparing himself for another onslaught by his adversary.
Elsewhere, Omega X continued his dominance over the Burizalor clones and took more out with rapid punches. However, much to his chagrin, a gateway was broken down as group of Burizalor clones came running out. The warrior saw them coming and plows his way through them. Omega X leaps up into the air and lands down with graceful balance. He turns and delivers spinning back kicks against his enemies. The warrior takes another leap into the air while brushing off many other attacks implemented by the clones. His momentum soon stopped as a clone came flying out of no way and takes Omega X with a spear. The warrior merely laughed it off and slams him onto the ground with tremendous force.
Omega X leaps up and delivers more kicks around the clones coming from all sides. The warrior takes off into the upper regions of limbo and cupped his hands together. He starts chanting out his most devastating technique name while gathering a massive amount of ki energy through his palms.
"Terra-"
The Burizalor clones immediately started to scatter away in masses. Unfortunately, they were too late to completely evacuate as Omega X unleashed his attack.
"BEAM!"
The Terra Beam goes hurtling towards nearly half of the clones and immediately vaporizes them into lost souls. The attack not only destroyed the Burizalor clones' bodies, but also freed the lost souls that had their bodies taken away.
The real tyrant looks on with an intensified look on his face. He shot Omega X a death glare and snarled.
"Damn you, Taichi! I HATE you!"
"Good, it gives me more motivation to take you down, Burizalor. Give it up. You'll never hope to defeat me with these tactics. I thought you'd brush up on your skills but you're clearly beaten."
"Not quite my friend. You still haven't realized that you can't escape from digital limbo. The laws of limbo prevent you from using that teleportation technique of yours. You and your protégé are stuck down here for all eternity."
"What do you say we get this over with, Burizalor? Unless you want to be embarrassed again?"
"I'll defeat you! Whatever it takes…"
"Man, you sure are persistent."
With the two heroes taking it to the evil pair, the situation on Earth was looking rather well for earth's digimon forces.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Looking on through the elder's viewing orb, X and BW had their eyes glued onto the battle taking place in Digital Limbo.
"It still amazes me how much further Omega X has progressed in power," BW said. "He's manhandling Burizalor!"
"The once mighty tyrant is reduced to nothing more than a sniveling little punk I love it," X replied. "However, if what Burizalor thought was true…"
"About what?"
"Tai is unable to perform the teleportation out of limbo because of the laws set forth by the higher powers. Anyone that is sent there cannot leave unless through a portal, which is how the prisoners escaped. But who could have crafted such a ploy to open a doorway into digital limbo in the first place?"
"It couldn't have been Datamon and Dr. Myuumon."
"No. Even with their technology, they couldn't have been able to perform such a tactic. I wonder…"
"Whatever the case maybe, we still have many escapees that are all over earth. The Digi-Destined and their allies must do whatever it takes to fend off the hell forces."
"Agreed. They must defeat them quickly before their numbers continue to grow. However, I think there maybe a way for Tai and Takato to escape limbo."
"Do tell."
"Ah! There is but one person who can assist them! Does Paladin ring a bell to you?"
"Whoa! You mean him?!"
"That's right. He helped TK escape from there before. He'll do the same for Tai and Takato."
"Let's be sure to contact him as soon as possible. Those two are needed back on Earth."
"Yes."
Earth. East Shinjuku
Meanwhile, back on earth, the hell fighters' numbers were continuing to grow. The many Digi-Destined across the globe, veterans and rookies alike, had stood their ground to fight off the dreadful invasions.
War Angemon found himself surrounded by four members of the Demon Corps squadron. Each one started to break out a silly pose that only managed to make them look like fools in the process.
"Marine Devilin!"
"Metal Tyrannus!"
"Skull Satan!"
"Puppetmon!"
"Altogether and we are… THE ONE AND ONLY DEMON CORPS!"
The angelic warrior merely lowers his head in shame with a sweat drop dripping across his forehead. The four digimon mercenaries took battle stances while facing off with War Angemon.
"Are you four clowns done yet? Because I'm already growing aggravated with you!"
"What?! You dare to insult our poses?!" Metal Tyrannus exclaimed. "Just for that, we're going to plant your ass to the ground!"
"Demon Corps! Set! Attack!" cries Marine Devilin.
With that said, the four Demon Corps members took off from different directions. War Angemon merely stood his ground once they came charging in towards him. The angelic warrior merely ducks under and swept every one of the four with spinning back kicks. War Angemon follows it up by unleashing a powerful energy force, which manages to lay them out. Neither one of the Demon Corps were going to be waking up anytime soon after that one.
"That ought to shut you punks up for a while. Geez, why did I have to get stuck with these losers? I bet everyone else is getting better treatment than I am."
Elsewhere across the city, a large mass scurried off once another Cultivarmon army had attacked. The green little aliens were destroying nearly everything in their path, including vandalizing cars and parking lots.
Looking on from on opt of a roof were Beetlemon, Kumamon, Loweemon and Lobomon. Their face expressions said it all. The mere sight of the Cultivarmon armies disgusted them.
"Gross! Those guys are worse are cockroaches!" Beetlemon cried out.
"You shouldn't be saying that about your kind, Beetlemon," Kumamon replied.
"What are you talking about?! No way am I related to those little freaks! In any case, they're sick! I can't even think about food after seeing these guys!"
"Tell me about it," Loweemon stated.
"There are so many of them," said Lobomon. "But I say we can take them! Let's go!"
Just as they were about to move out, Saber Veemon came soaring by and stops to face them.
"Hey, what are you guys standing there for? Get serious! Don't let their numbers intimidate you! Let's rock on, Dorothy!"
Saber Veemon takes off across the Shinjuku streets and let's loose an array of energy shots. Each shot took out a Cultivarmon and caused them to explode into shrouds of data.
"Wow, Davis and Dorothy aren't kidding around," Kumamon said.
"Nope. C'mon guys! Let's give him a hand!" Lobomon calls out to his warrior allies.
The four warriors leaped off from the roof building where they once stood and landed onto the streets. More Cultivarmon started to pop out from under the sewers and alleyways. Lobomon pulls out his light sabers and attacked the beasts head on.
"Lobo Kendo!"
"Shadow Meteor!"
"Lighting Blitz!"
"Crystal Freeze!"
One by one, each Cultivarmon were being taken apart by saber slashes, dark energy shots, lighting blasts and ice waves.
"Way go to guys! Let's keep this up!" Lobomon said to his allies.
Odaiba
Fleeing out across the city skies were Tike and Kara. Both were carrying along Arukenimon and Mummymon from the duo of Dynasmon and Crusadermon.
"AHH! HELP! THEY'RE BEHIND US!" Mummymon screamed out like a schoolgirl.
"Will you shut it?!" Arukenimon retorted.
"You two need to put a cork in it! This is no time to be arguing!" Kara promptly said.
"Oh crap! Hit the decks!" Tike calls out.
Dynasmon unleashes an energy shot from his left hand and sends it hurtling for their foes. The gang turned around to find the shot being targeted towards them. Their lives flashed back before their very own eyes until a mysterious force deflected the blast.
"What's the meaning of this?!" Crusadermon asked.
"Look ahead, Crusadermon," Dynasmon said. "It's another of those Digi-Destined!"
The Royal Knight was correct on his assumption once Mystic Celesta came into appearance. She stood out in front of the children and the digimon pair being rescued.
"All right!" Kara exclaimed. "Thank goodness you came!"
"Way to go, mom!" said Tike.
"You two take Mummymon and Arukenimon to a safe location and get away from here as soon as possible."
"You got it, mom!" the children said in unison.
"You go, Kari! Take him out!" Mummymon cheered on.
"Can it, bandage boy!" Arukenimon snapped.
As soon as the four-person party departed into the far distance, Mystic Celesta was left to take on both Royal Knights. Dynasmon cracked his knuckles in anticipation of battling Taichi's sister.
"Crusadermon. I take it this is Taichi's sister. You remember the woman and her Gatomon partner?"
"Yes. So they've fused and ascended to a stronger level. This ought to be quite interesting."
"Maybe for you. Now, let's get this over with. I have other places to attend to!"
Mystic Celesta puts up a fighting stance and prepares to take both Royal Knights at the same time. Will her mystic powers prove their worth against the might of the powerful pair?
Elsewhere in Shinjuku
Ice Devimon was scaring away the crowds of people while unleashing deadly icicles across the streets below. His fun was worthwhile, yet cut off short as a spiritual presence loomed over him. Ice Devimon turns to find the presence of Taomon. The ice demon quickly picked up on Taomon's familiar scent and grinned.
"Renamon. How nice it is to see you again…"
"Spare me the small talk."
"So you've managed to digivolve! That Rika girl must have been responsible for this. I don't understand why you still would ever side with such a petty human?"
"That's for me to know and you not to even consider looking into!"
With that said, Taomon pulls out her paintbrush and creates a Kanji symbol from out of thin air. She directly sends it out towards Ice Devimon.
"Talisman Overwrite!"
The ice demon was immediately caught by the symbol and instantly deleted into data. Taomon didn't bother absorbing his data and looks ahead to find Rapidmon laying waste to a Vilemon horde.
"Way to go, Taomon!" Rika praised her partner. "Now all we have to do is take the small fries."
"Nah, I'm having some fun here with target practice!" Rapidmon said gleefully. "Take that you! Oh, you want to eat some too?! You, too?! Ha! Ha!"
"Uh, he's gone trigger happy again," Henry commented.
Suddenly, the two ultimates stopped as they turned to find two familiar faces. One of which was the bull Devas, Vajiramon. The other was Pajiramon, the sheep deva.
"Well, looky here," Rapidmon said. "If it isn't our old buddies?!"
"Just what I didn't want," replied Taomon.
"We can take them again!" Rika said. "They should be no trouble for you!"
Paris, France
Piedmon looks on with utter disbelief at the armies of Vilemon and Cultivarmon being demolished by Zephrymon's wind attacks. Kaiser Greymon was taking it to Iceladydevimon and quickly hacks her in half with his sword. The artificial demon was reduced into a pile of mechanical parts and wires.
"I can't believe this!" Piedmon exclaimed. "We all came back only to die again! This is absurd!"
"You want to take me on next, pal?!" Kaiser Greymon challenged the Demon Corps leader.
"I have my pride! Prepare yourself, cretin!"
Piedmon pulls out his swords and rushes out to combat with Kaiser Greymon. The megas collided with one another with their swords deflecting off one another. Piedmon ducks under his opponent's sword slashes and delivers a low blow to Kaiser Greymon.
"Damn… That was cheap, pal!"
"Now to add you to my new keychain collection!"
"Hurricane Hail!"
The wind digimon unleashes her attack, which catches Piedmon by surprise. The jester retaliated by leaping into the air and slamming his fists into Zephrymon's face. Kaiser Greymon had seen enough and picked his sword up. The mega leaps up into the air and summons forth a massive surge of flame energy through his sword alone. Piedmon turns and is met with an enormous flame blast.
"Dragon Fire Crossbow!"
The jester took the blast head on and was quickly reduced into data. Kaiser Greymon lands while catching his breath. He steps forward to a fallen Zephrymon and carries her in his arms.
"Are you all right?"
"Uh… I'll manage… Thanks…"
"We still have many other places to attend to. Paris, France has already been cleared up."
Digital Limbo
The Burizalor clones all screamed in unison and unleashes a combined array of blasts that targeted solely for Omega X. The warrior looks ahead and punches his way through the combined energy blast. The blast detonated on contact with Omega X and causes an enormous explosion that shook the foundation of the entire dimension.
"Ha! Got you!" the clones laughed.
As soon as the smoke cloud dispersed, Burizalor looks on to find that his adversary was gone. He still could feel out Omega X's ki.
"Damn it! Where did he go?!"
Suddenly, the tyrant felt a slight vibration coming from another direction and looks up to find Omega X flying down with a foot. The warrior levels Burizalor with a kick to his face. The force was enough to send the real tyrant himself skidding across the dimension and plowing through many caverns.
"Didn't see that coming did you, jackass?!"
"Why you! Take this!" the clones screamed out.
Much like before, the clones attacked Omega X with a combined assault. Yet, despite their efforts, Omega X dodged their attacks and incapacitated them with ease. The warrior blows them all away with a single energy force.
"Man, c'mon… You used to make me sweat but you're just boring me. Why don't you come up with something more original than this?"
The real Burizalor lifted himself from the rubble and flies up to face off with his long-time adversary. His hated for Taichi has never left him. He wanted nothing more than to take the warrior's head and mount it as his trophy.
"You'll regret ever tarnishing my good name! Taichi, I'll never forgive you!"
"What are you mad at me for? It's your fault that you've committed all those crimes. You made your bed and now you have to lie in it down here in hell. Besides, it was Dimitri from the future period that killed your ass not me. Kind of embarrassing that the son of Mimi kills your good name…"
"Shut up! Shut up! Don't you ever bring that name up again!"
"Ooo, I must have hit a nerve there. Heh…"
Elsewhere across the battlefield, Gallantmon was soaring across the upper regions as Virus was in hot pursuit of the knight. The artificial managed to force Gallantmon to evade each energy shot being used.
"Man! This guy is way too fast! Tai and Kari weren't kidding around! This guy is way stronger than Beelzebumon!"
"I still have many other techniques under my disposal. I'll be sure to introduce them to you soon."
"Tai is sure having fun with Burizalor. Maybe I should have taken that guy instead of Virus. I guess we could trade bad guys for the time being."
"Heh. Look at that over there! Poor Burizalor. You were once considered the strongest force in the Digital Universe, but you've become nothing more than a slouch," Virus commented while focusing his attacks on Gallantmon.
Burizalor took to his extreme offense and turns his attention to Virus with a death glare.
"How dare you call me a slouch, you idiot?! Virus! Look above you!"
Virus immediately stopped and looks up to find Omega X with his arms crossed. The warrior puts his face in front of Virus and sticks his tongue out childishly. Virus attempts to throw out a punch until the warrior flies back with a grin.
"You know, Virus, I was taught that if you spent as much time training as you do criticizing others, then your fighting truly suffers."
"How dare you mock me like that? You stupid punk! Eat this! Fist of the Beast King!"
Virus pushes his fists forward to unleash a double dose of Leomon's own attack. Omega X dodges away to the side and nods his head.
"Hey, that was one of Leomon's attacks!" Gallantmon calls out.
"Man, this is said," Omega X said. "You're trying to pass on one of my allies' own attacks as your own. Did anyone ever tell you anything about copyright infringements? That was Leomon's technique!"
As soon as Omega X's back was turned, Burizalor came from behind the warrior and goes for an attack. The knight saw this coming and launches himself against the tyrant. He knocks Burizalor away with his shield.
"Lighting Joust!"
Gallantmon sends a bolt of energy towards Burizalor and nails a direct hit on the icy monster.
"Thanks a lot, kid," Omega X said. "Tell you what? Why don't you take Burizalor for me? Just watch out for his virus duplication. He's a sneaky one."
"Right gotcha!'
With that said, Gallantmon takes off after Burizalor into the far distance. This left Omega X to contend with Virus. The long-awaited rematch from the War Games was immediately underway.
"Come on, Virus! Lets see what you've got!"
"Ha! Allow me to show you! I know you're very familiar with this technique!"
Virus steps back, cupped his hands together and gathered a massive amount of blue ki energy from his energy surroundings.
"TE-RR-A BEAM!"
The artificial being unleashes the enormous beam, which caused the foundations of limbo itself to tremble under its sheer might. The blast came hurtling towards Omega X. The warrior came down flying through the blast phases out in front of him.
"OH SHIT!"
"TERRA BEAM!"
Omega X retaliates with his own Terra Beam. In the process, he evaporates the upper body off of Virus. The warrior stands over the fallen corpse of Virus.
Meanwhile, Burizalor tossed out an energy disc that targets straight for Gallantmon.
"Take that, kid!"
However, the knight managed to deflect the energy disc back towards the tyrant. Burizalor evades to the side and allows the energy disc to slice through a rock cavern. Gallantmon comes down, took his saber and slashes Burizalor through his waist. The tyrant was quickly cut in half and his halved body parts were sent plummeting to the ground.
Omega X nodded with approval for the efforts of his protégé. The knight warrior came landing down while catching his breath.
"Way go to, Takato! That takes care of them!"
"Whew, I just wish I had some time to take a breather. That was some hard work."
"Nonetheless, we've won."
Suddenly, there was an immediate increase of sinister energy flowing through the dimension. Then, there was a deep laughter as a tall shadow loomed over the heroes. Virus stands out over them with a smug look. The artificial's upper body had now been restored completely new.
"You two really thought you've won the match? Ha! You two are nothing more than fools! You forgot that my body has to be completely destroyed. I thought you knew that already, Taichi. You are stupid after all. In any case, here in hell, our bodies are immortal."
Then, the heroes turned their attention over to Burizalor. The tyrant's halved bodies were pieced back together. His wounds were completely gone.
"You will never be able to defeat me, because I'm already dead," Burizalor stated the obvious.
"Damn! This isn't looking good, Tai. With D-Reaper, I was able to kill her with your Life Bomb. But these two can come back to life no matter what do to them."
"Don't worry, Takato. We'll eventually find a solution to this mess."
"Well, shall we continue?" the villains asked in unison.
"Sure thing. At least I'll have joy kicking your asses for eternity," Omega X implied.
Outskirts of Tokyo
A single individual was walking amongst the outskirts of Tokyo and emerged from out of the forest. It was none other than Etemon, the one who had assisted Matt in his conquest to extract revenge on Tai many years ago. This was not the Etemon who led the forces of the Dark Network.
Etemon puts out two fingers in front of him and unleashes a massive eruption of power. The forests around him were quickly reduced into a pile of debris. The monkey ultimate snickered at the destruction he had left in the explosion's wake.
"Heh. Next stop, Tokyo…"
"Uh, you're still the same brainless idiot who always knows how to destroy," a familiar voice rang out to Etemon's ears. "One would think that a digimon with your experience would know when to call it quits, you sun-glasses wearing buffoon."
The monkey stopped dead cold in his tracks and growls angrily to himself. He remembers this exact voice very well since he once aligned himself with this one person. Etemon turns to find Metalla X standing on top of a mountain of fallen debris. The fused warrior nodded his head at the embarrassing sight of Etemon.
"I recommend you split town, Etemon, immediately. Then again, unless, you want to be killed by me again? Well?"
In response to Metalla X's threats, Etemon lunges forth the warrior with revenge solely on his mind. He clearly did not realize that Yamato's power has grown tremendously over the years. Metalla X responds to his aggressor's motives and puts out a single hand. He fires a small ki blast and incinerates his former partner in crime. The ultimate was reduced to a cloud of data.
"Meh. You were always so stubborn, Etemon. How ironic for you to die again by my hands."
"Long time no see, Yamato!"
Metalla X turns around to find Datamon and Dr. Myuumon standing behind him on a ledge. The genius duo had their eyes transfixed onto the warrior with curiosity.
"What the hell is this? A reunion? What do you want, fools?"
"Oh, we just want the usual genocide and extinction of your entire human race. Now, arise, Hell Fighter Black War Greymon!"
With that said, a large column of terra energy emerged out from the ground and spread the debris out further. Metalla X looked back to find a single figure emerging out of the flames. It looked almost like the Black War Greymon model yet it has more human distinctions and a stature similar to Artificial Jax. He was sleek and not bulky like his Black War Greymon counterpart. His artificial eyes were locked directly towards Metalla X.
"Well, it looks like we've got a new and improved version."
Metalla X prepared himself for the upcoming battle with Hell Fighter Black War Greymon.
East Shinjuku
The four legendary warriors were still taking care of the mess with the Cultivarmon plague. Saber Veemon finished off any remaining fleet of Vilemon that had once dominated the skies. Everything was going into perfect order with the invasions.
"All right! That ought to do it here in Shinjuku," Saber Veemon calls out to the team. "Next stop, Shibuya!"
"Back to settle things in our home town boys," Beetlemon said. "What do you say we clean up the trash there?"
"You know I'm there," replied Kumamon.
"Let's do it!" the brothers said in unison.
Elsewhere across Shinjuku district, Taomon and Rapidmon were dealing with the two devas. Vajiramon charged out with his two swords intact and slashes through the air itself.
"Deva Blade!"
The bull deva releases an array of cut slashes through his sword, but Taomon easily dodged the shots. She comes up above Vajiramon and whips out her paintbrush once again.
"Talisman Overwrite!"
With a single stroke from her brush, the ultimate's kanji symbol goes right through Vajiramon and deletes him in the process. Rapidmon leaps up into the air and brings forth a triangular green symbol. As Pajiramon came charging in for the kill, Rapidmon sends out his attack upon the sheep deva.
"Tri-Beam!"
Pajiramon was immediately caught by the symbol and suffered the same fate as her partner in crime, Vajiramon. She was reduced to nothing more than a cloud of data itself.
"That takes care of the Deva mess!" Henry said.
"I doubt it! Take a look behind us!"
Emerging out from the smoke clouds was the titanic pig deva himself. It was Vikaralymon and he was ready to consume everything in his path. The Tamers stood their ground as they prepared to face the largest of the Devas themselves.
"Great! Just what we needed! Miss us, Porky?!" Rapidmon joked.
"Humans! Time to eat thee!" Vikaralymon roared.
"Nee-Ha! Ha!" another annoying voice laughed out.
The Tamers and their digimon looked up to see the rat Deva, Kumbhiramon. The rat leaps off from the pig's head and snickered at Tamers.
"I'm baaack!"
"Great, just what we needed," Henry muttered. "Rapidmon, take care of this guy."
"Rika? I'll take the pig."
"Good. That rat is a waste of our time."
"I'll show you who's a waste of your time!" Kumbhiramon screeched.
With the rat deva charging forward, Rapidmon prepared himself. Then, from out of nowhere, a ki blast came hurtling towards Kumbhiramon and wastes him into a wave of data. The Tamers looked up to find the source of the energy attack. It came from none other than Pikkan. Jeri was cheering on from the rooftop.
"Way get him, Pikkan!"
"Hey, fat ass! I would look behind you if I were you!" the Alterian calls out to the pig.
"What's the meaning of this?!"
Vikaralymon slowly turns around and it immediately met with numerous sword slashes all across his body. The pig was frozen in place until Cyberleomon came out of hiding and sheathes his sword. He turns and watches Vikaralymon became a pile of sliced pieces and explodes into a cloud of data.
"Uh… Wow! I wish I had thought of that," Rapidmon said.
"That at least takes care of our Deva problems," Rika replied. "Way to go, guys!"
"There's a situation over at the bridge! Let's head off," Pikkan informed the Tamers.
"You heard ol' Big Ears. Let's get going," Rapidmon said.
"I heard that, rabbit."
"In any case, I just hope Takato and Tai are all right," Rika stated. "Goggle head, you had better come back soon."
Odaiba
Mystic Celesta takes off towards the observatory tower with both Royal Knights hot on her trail.
"Dragon Thrower!"
"Flower Masquerade!"
The female warrior retaliates by reducing their attacks with a single energy blast. She then follows it up by flying past Crusadermon with a fist to her gut. Mystic Celesta sends Crusadermon flying backwards with an invisible force. Dynasmon took advantage of his adversary and spits out beam, which manages to catch Mystic Celesta by her right arm. Her arm was quickly turned into metal and became too heavy for her to balance. Despite this, she maintained a constant power level to keep her strong.
"Now, you're a handicap! It shall prove to be more interesting when you have to fight with one arm."
"Yeah, I can see that. I've done it once before and I can do it again. Come on!"
"With pleasure, my dear… I'll be as gentlemen as I can be."
Crusadermon comes right back up by Dynasmon's side and takes a battle stance.
"Don't forget you also have to contend with me."
"That's just fine by me," replied Mystic Celesta. "One-arm is all I need."
Digital Limbo
Back within the regions of digital limbo, the Burizalor clones attacked Omega X head on with a array of fists. The warrior retaliates by throwing them off with an energy force. He comes off and punches away at more Burizalor clones. He looks ahead and finds a pole sticking out from the ground.
"Excuse me, boys…"
Omega X phases out at the area where the pole stood and pulls it out from the ground. He twirls the pole around and waves over to the clones.
"Bring it on!"
The Burizalor clones came charging forth to attack Omega X head on, but Omega X manages to swing the pole at them. He swung the pole against an incoming Burizalor clone and slams it against his chest. Another came flying out overhead, but only to receive a pole shot that sent him sailing into the ceiling. Omega X comes down and swung the pole around to knock away more clones in one full swoop.
"Thank goodness for those Matrix movies! How's it coming it along, kid?!"
"Did you really have to ask?!"
Gallantmon jumps back after going head to head with Burizalor once again. The artificial puts his hands over his face and performs another one of Omega X's favorite techniques.
"Picture Flash!"
The villain unleashes a bright flash of light that manages to build the knight. As the blinding flash caught Gallantmon, Virus took advantage of his adversary and nods over to the real Burizalor. The tyrant came flying over and appears in front of the knight. As Virus held Gallantmon from behind, Burizalor sticks his hand through Gallantmon to spread the virus and turn the knight into a clone.
"If you can't beat us, then join us!" Burizalor snickered.
"Oh crap! Takato! Guilmon!" Omega X exclaimed.
The warrior flies past the clone army to come to Gallantmon's aid. He stops in front of Burizalor and knocks him away with a single punch. He jumps over and goes behind Virus to perform a German suplex. Gallantmon was very lucky to have been spared.
"Kid, are you all right?!"
"Damn, that was close. These two guys aren't kidding around!"
"You've never had to dealt with them before. Don't go blaming yourself. It's all right."
"Screw this crap! We're taking this to the next level! Grani! I summon forth your power to grant my wish! CRIMSON MODE!"
With that said, Gallantmon becomes basked into a crimson column of light. Omega X stands away with a grin on his face. The villain pair turned away from the light to witness the knight's final transformation. Emerging out from the light was the crimson knight himself.
"Behold, Gallantmon Crimson Mode!"
"Not to shabby, kid," Omega X commended the teen.
"His power has grown! I can't believe how far behind I've really become," Burizalor said in disbelief. "But I won't let that boy scare me!"
"Heh. That's fine with me," Virus replied. "My armor has become enhanced and should protect me from your assault, boy."
"Want to test it out for yourself?" Gallantmon said while summoning his Invincible Swords.
"Don't you dare test my patience!" the artificial cries out.
Virus came flying towards Gallantmon and threw out an array of punches. Fortunately, Gallantmon dodged each fist with swift motions. This did not suite well for the artificial as he started to grow frustrated.
"Hold still you punk!"
"Sure. Here's a free shot for you."
Gallantmon stood still and allowed Virus to throw out a single punch, which connected with the knight's face. Virus was taken back in shock as he watched Gallantmon swiftly move past him and slashes at his chest with the swords.
"Well, so much for your enhanced armor," the crimson knight said.
The artificial looks down at his chest and saw that a large cut wound had penetrated through his newly enhanced armor.
"One thing you should learn, Virus. Don't always rely on technology to win your battles," Gallantmon said. "Because that will not make you a better warrior. I thought you'd already know that."
"The same goes for your clones, Burizalor!"
However, Burizalor was not taken back by their threats and merely snickered. The tyrant was as usual up to no good.
"You two are so incompetent," Burizalor said. "Don't let your confidence blind your ability to see… Because here in the depths of hell, nothing is what it seems. That includes techniques that you digital pests have yet to lay your eyes upon, let alone use in battle."
"Like this one!" Virus calls out. "Burizalor!"
"Yes!"
"HELL!"
"DEATH CAGE!"
As soon as they called out to one another, the villains' eyes emitted a bright yellow glow. They put their hands forward and formed a row of columns around their adversaries. Gallantmon and Omega X were now snared inside a cage made out of the powers of limbo itself. Not even their powers can help escape out of the hell cage.
"Oh crap! This is a new technique!" Omega X exclaimed.
"You mean… they never did anything of this sort?"
"Never… Damn, I don't think we can escape from this cage!"
"Yes, that's right, Taichi! Even your teleportation cannot escape the powers of hell itself. That includes being snared into a death cage. Virus, are you ready?!"
"Yes! Let's do this!"
The villains swung their arms overhead and sent the caged heroes down through the ground below. They were now being sent into the darkest regions of limbo itself, where no living soul has gone before. The villain pair followed them out their adversaries down through the depths of digital limbo.
"Don't worry. There's more where that came from boys!" Burizalor taunted the heroes.
As they landed on what looked like barren ground, the heroes remained trapped inside the death cage.
"So, we can't get out of this cage?!" Gallantmon said. "My swords aren't going jack squat!"
"I can't even teleport out of here!" Omega X stated.
"Didn't we already tell you that?" Virus replied. "That crap won't work with our death cage. You're trapped like mice."
Suddenly, there was a loud noise similar to that of a diesel truck. The hero pair turned to find a machine that read Ice Maker. They didn't know what this meant for their fates but they sure weren't going to like it. Burizalor emerges out of the darkness and hops on top of the ice machine.
"You see this? It's an ice maker, but none you'll normally find in your backyard," the tyrant said. "This machine will turn anything it sprays into a block of ice. What do you say we give this a little experiment? You two can be our guinea pigs."
"Great. Guinea pigs," Gallantmon muttered. "Um, any ideas, Tai? Because I'm fresh out of them."
"I guess our fates have been sealed. We're screwed, kid."
"Ah! I haven't even made it through second base with Rika!"
"Believe me, kid. I'll be more than happy to pick off where you left off," Virus said. "Let them have, Burizalor!"
"Take this!"
The tyrant pushed a single button to activate the machine and watches as it sends out a cool wind over the caged heroes.
"Damn! I'll try my Terra Beam!" Omega X calls out. "Ah, crap! My arm!"
"No! I don't want to be a Popsicle for the rest of my young life!"
As the cool wind brushes through the heroes, their bodies quickly came encased into blocks of solid ice. There wasn't anything they could do but remain as they currently are. The death cage ultimately came down in the process. The villains cackled as they looked across from the horizon.
"Finally, we've snared them, Virus! Our plan is a success!"
"It was pleasure to help you, Burizalor."
"Ah, Taichi and Takato. You two stay put! As soon as we finish celebrating, we're coming back to shatter you two clowns into pieces, add some strawberry syrup and eat you like snow cones that you've become!"
With the villains cackling amongst themselves, the hero pair was stiff inside their newly encased ice cubes. It seemed as though as their fates were ultimately sealed as the villain pair had defeated them. What does this hold for the fate of Earth?
Outskirts of Tokyo
The battle waged on between Metalla X and Hell Fighter Black War Greymon right away. Metalla X quickly throws out a fist, which connected with the Hell Fighter. The Hell Fighter puts up his guards as his stronger adversary overwhelmed him.
Hell Fighter flies back and immediately sends a telepathic distress signal to Artificial Jax.
"What's taking you so long? I need you now!"
Outskirts of Shinjuku
Artificial Jax was overhead across the city district of Shinjuku and picked up Hell Fighter's distress signal.
"Artificial Jax! We must merge into one body! I want to finish this as soon as possible!"
"Understood."
The artificial's eyes began to emit a red glow in response to Hell Fighter.
"But first, I have to pay an old sibling of mine a visit…"
Eastern Shinjuku
After dealing with the Demon Corps nuisance, War Angemon was on the move against another old adversary. It was none other than Burizalor's father, Mutalior. The hulked-up beast throws out rapid punches, which were dodged by War Angemon.
"Curse you damned human! I will not be done in as my brother has!"
"Too bad cause history is going to repeat itself."
Just as War Angemon was locked up with Mutalior, a shadowy figure came up from behind the angel warrior and raised his hands overhead. It was Devimon of File Island. He was back to extract revenge on Takeru/Patamon's fusion form.
"At last! My death shall be avenged, Angemon!"
"Oh, spare me the theatrics…"
Devimon stopped and gasped in dead silence as War Angemon puts out a hand in front of the demon. The angelic warrior lets loose a massive energy blast, which engulfs Devimon in the process. The demon was reduced to a packet of data.
"You said that already, Devimon. Geez, I still can't believe I was once scared of you losers. That goes for you too, Mutalior!"
"Unlike that fool, I won't give in that easily!"
Mutalior flies up into the upper regions and holds out a massive Death Ball over his head. He then hurls it down towards his primary target. War Angemon holds out one hand and knocks the Death ball back at Mutalior. The monster moved away from the dark sphere and watched as it sails through the atmosphere.
"Where are you looking at?!"
Mutalior turns around to find War Angemon pushing forth an enormous energy blast, which incinerates Mutalior in the process.
"Ok, that just about wraps up this side of Shinjuku. I've got to find Kari as soon as possible!"
Elsewhere within Shinjuku District
Izzy and Talley led the two children through a warehouse where they would remain safe for the time being. Kabuterimon stood outside the doors to keep out any intruders.
"So, what did you have in mind, brainac?" asked Max.
"Max. That's not nice. Izzy's responsible for getting your dad out of tough jams," said Keke.
"I'll take that as compliment. Take a look at this. The hole in the sky is actually the doorway into digital limbo."
"We know that, Izzy, but it's closed up."
"I was just getting to that," replied Izzy. "I just thought of a perfect way to open it up."
"How's that?" Keke asked.
"We can use the Juggernaut to open the hole up," Talley said.
"But wouldn't that cause a side effect and suck up all of the digital life?" Max asked. "We can't risk it. Our digimon friends are out there as we speak."
"Once it hits that closed doorway, it will cause a reaction and force the doorway to open. However, we're going to have to contact Tai and Takato about this. We'll need their help to synchronize their energy signals directly with the Juggernaut's power to open the portal. Only then, these two synchronize and create perfect results."
"Um, how about telling us in English?" Max asked.
"What he's trying to say is that the two powers will combine together at the same time and open the portal. Think of it as a fusion, but between two non-physical forms," Talley explained.
"Ah, sort of like how Uncle TK and Davis used the fusion dance!" Keke said. "I've seen them use it as a demonstration. I get it. If we get Uncle Tai and Takato to send out an energy transfer directly with the Juggernaut, then the portal will be forced open!"
"Yes, but we have to make it work. If we fail, then there's no way to get them out," Izzy said.
"Don't worry. My dad and Takato won't screw this up!" Max assured everyone. "C'mon, this is bound to work. Izzy! You are a genius!"
"Thanks, but…"
"But nothing. You've been a great help for my dad. You're indebted to our gratitude."
"Yes, that's my Izzy wizzy!" Talley giggled.
"Hey! You're embarrassing me, Talley!"
"All right, dad! Don't fret any longer! We're going to get you and Takato out of there in no time! Just stay put!"
East Shinjuku District
With traffic building up across the streets, the people were fleeing the city from the incoming invasion. There was a car seen with Sonja and David together. Aside from them was a Porsche with Ken, Yolei, their children, Hawkmon and Wormmon aboard.
"Hey, mom. When's dad getting back?" David asked.
"As soon as he stops having fun with his friends… I really did not want to drive out of this traffic."
"It's a good thing. I'm in no mood to fly."
"That tears it, we're flying out of here!"
"Gee, it's nice to know that Davis couldn't be there to help his family," Yolei said as she rolled her eyes.
"Easy. Davis went out of his way to help the others," Ken assured her.
"Well this traffic isn't helping us any," said their eldest son, Sam.
"Not another word out of you young man," Yolei snapped.
"Yes m'am…"
"Heads up everyone!" Hawkmon calls out.
With that said, an array of energy blasts came raining down upon the streets. This time the attacks weren't coming from small fries or Devas. It was Artificial Jax unleashing the energy shots and destroying countless cars. The artificial cackled like a madman possessed during his assault.
"Mom! Who the heck is that guy?!" David frantically asked.
"It's my twin brother! Artificial Jax!"
With the cars being cleared away and countless lives wasted in the process, Artificial Jax walks out of the smoke clouds. He looks ahead to find his sister covering David from the debris. Ken and Yolei rushed out with their children. Hawkmon and Wormmon stood in front of their partners while facing off with the crazed artificial human.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it, dear sister?" Jax asked with a cold tone.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Sonja asked with venom in her voice. "You nearly killed my son! These people did nothing to deserve you, you bastard!"
"Very soon the humans and the digimon will be exterminated," Jax stated promptly. "This planet will become ours."
"What do you mean ours?!" Ken said. "You don't even know what you're talking about!"
"Call me crazy but wasn't he supposed to be on our side?" Yolei wondered. "Then again, this guy came close to destroying our digimon!"
"No Yolei. This artificial had no affiliation," Hawkmon said. "Only his sister ever bothered to turn to our side."
"Dear sister. Come to your senses. Join with me."
Sonja was taken back by this and looks deeply into her brother's eyes. The male's cold eyes were starting to emit a crimson glow, which immediately put Sonja under a hypnotic control.
"We belong together. You know deep down inside that we do. It would be glorious if you joined us to destroy the Digi-Destined and everything they worked for. After all, we are siblings."
"Yes… We are siblings… forever."
"Sonja! Snap out of it!" Yolei screamed. "How can you even call that creep your brother?!"
"Momma? What's wrong?" David asked.
Sonja walks away from David and slowly approaches Jax like a mindless zombie.
"There's got to be something to break his control over her!" Ken said.
With Ken and Yolei looking on helplessly, Artificial Jax attempts to recruit Sonja to the dark side. Will his mind games successfully draw Sonja back to the side of evil? Can she break free out of his hypnotic control? Elsewhere, Saber Veemon and the legendary warriors continue to deal with the remaining invasion threat that is terrorizing Shibuya and other major cities around the globe. Mystic Celesta has her hands full with the duo of Dynasmon and Crusadermon. The same duo who nearly defeated herself, Tai and the others once before. Meanwhile, Metalla X steps up to face the unbridled fury of Hell Fighter Black War Greymon. Takuya and Izumi had already cleaned up a fiasco with Neo Devimon's forces in England. Now they head off to America to clean up the remaining threats. Just when Earth needs them most, Gallantmon and Omega X are trapped in hell. They have been encased inside a block of ice. With Virus and Burizalor not far away, can they escape this messy predicament?

The Ultimate Artificial! Artificial Jax and Hell Fighter Unite!
East Shinjuku District
"Dear sister. Come to your senses. Join with me."
Sonja was taken back by this and looks deeply into her brother's eyes. The male's cold eyes were starting to emit a crimson glow, which immediately put Sonja under a hypnotic control.
"We belong together. You know deep down inside that we do. It would be glorious if you joined us to destroy the Digi-Destined and everything they worked for. After all, we are siblings."
"Yes… We are siblings… forever."
"Sonja! Snap out of it!" Yolei screamed. "How can you even call that creep your brother?!"
"Momma? What's wrong?" David asked.
Sonja walks away from David and slowly approaches Jax like a mindless zombie.
"There's got to be something to break his control over her!" Ken said.
"It's time to come home, dear sister."
Sonja walks towards her brother and still was under his hypnotic control. Her zombie glare had frightened David away.
"Mom! What are you doing? We should be waiting for dad to get here."
"We are meant to be together, brother… Just like the old days when we were rebellious kids… It's been so very long. I'll be coming home."
"Yes, that's right. Together again. After all, we are siblings."
"Stop it! Stop listening to his bantering, Sonja!" Ken calls out.
This immediately forced Sonja to stop cold at her tracks. She returned to reality and looks ahead to find Jax.
"You can't do this! You have an adopted child and a husband to care for," Ken stated. "Don't you go abandoning them and return to your old ways."
"He's right, Sonja. You made a choice to stay with Davis. He helped to change you!"
"Look at what you are saying you fools!" Jax exclaimed. "Sonja is an artificial human just like me. Get that through your skulls. We were built by the brilliant Datamon."
"Brilliant?!" the digimon said in unison.
"Have you lost your mind?!" Yolei asked. "Datamon brilliant?!"
"How can you even think to call a heartless monster like him brilliant?!" Ken asked. "You even destroyed Datamon yourself, remember?!"
This statement from the former Kaiser caused Jax to think back to his memories. The artificial was starting to regain what little humanity he had left. Ken had managed to strike a nerve into Jax.
"You resented Datamon, Jax! Think back to the day you killed him yourself for taking away your humanity!"
"I resented… Datamon…? I killed him?"
Suddenly, Jax managed to receive yet another telepathic message from Hell Fighter. The voice rang out through his mind to give him a quick reminder of their agenda.
"What are you doing, Jax?! Snap out of it! You have to find me! Our time has come!"
Jax shook his head to jog out every past memories of himself resenting Datamon and brought himself back to reality. He gives a sneer over to Ken.
"What has happened to you, Jax?! I thought you would have changed over these years!" Ken said. "You can't even make your own decisions!"
"Shut up! Shut your mouth, human!"
With that said, Jax points his hand over to Ken and shoots out a quick energy blast. The blast traveled out so quick that not even the digimon could have detected it. Everyone, including Yolei and Sonja, gasped in horror as the blast went through Ken's chest cavity. The young man collapses onto the ground with a gaping hole wound. The children gathered around the fallen Ken in tears.
"OH MY GOD! KEN!" Yolei screamed in painful agony. "KEN!"
"No! Ken!" Wormmon cried.
"This can't be happening! Not him!" Hawkmon said.
Sonja's eyes widened in horror as she had witnessed her husband's best friend being murdered by her own brother. She looks back to the years she, Davis, Ken and Yolei spent together as friends. She even drew herself out from being an anti-social individual and become open with them. Much like Ken, Sonja had learned to appreciate friends. She even accepted David as more than just an adopted child but as her own son. This was all thanks to Davis helping to opening Sonja's once cold heart.
"Poppa!" The Ichijouji children cried. "Poppa!"
Yolei grasped the hand of her now dead husband's hand and buried her face against his stomach. Tears swelled up in her eyes in sorrow for the loss of her husband, Ken. Sonja turns around to face Jax with eyes filled with a mix of not just sadness but anger and hatred.
"Ken was a good friend! My husband's best friend! You unforgiving bastard! You just had to kill him!"
"Momma?" David asked. "That bad man is no uncle of mine!"
"David. Get away from here now."
"But, mom-"
"NOW!"
The boy jumps back away from the angered woman. He walks back to where Yolei and the others were mourning over Ken. Sonja's fists clenched tightly as she screamed out at the man she now once called her brother.
"Now, it's time to go, Sonja…"
"He was my husband's best friend… He was a dear friend of mine… A loving family man… Why did you kill him…?"
"What…?"
"YOU KILLED HIM!"
Sonja leaps forward with tremendous speed and phases out from her brother's sight. Even he couldn't detect her movements since she was an artificial. Suddenly, Jax felt a strong force being slammed against his face. The woman had punched him in the face with a right hand and follows it up a kick to his right side.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
She then finishes off her brother with a fist into his gut, which was enough force to send him flying through a building. Sonja lands down and growls deeply.
"Whoa… Mom…" David said. "I've… never seen her like that…"
"That's it! Now kill him! Kill that bastard!" Yolei screamed. "That murderer is no brother of yours! Avenge Ken!"
"My word… I hope that was enough to finish him," Hawkmon said. "I don't think anyone can even get up from that."
"No… He's not done yet! Look!"
Everyone looks ahead to find Jax rising out from the pile of rubble without a single dent. The artificial stands with a grin on his face.
"Bastard! If that had been my husband, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill you on the spot."
"Too bad your dear husband wasn't here to see it," Jax replied.
"No! There's no way! C'mon, Sonja! Finish him off now!" Yolei cried. "Don't hold back! I don't give a damn if he is your brother!"
"Dear sister. You just wasted any chance of me sparing you," Jax said. "You've become way too attached to these humans and now you've become one of them. But if you wish to die with these humans, then I'll grant your wish."
As soon as he said that, Jax puts out his hand and positions it over to Sonja. The woman gasped in horror and calls out to everyone in the background.
"Yolei! You have to get everyone away from here! Take Ken's body and find a safe location!"
"What about you, mom?!" David asked.
"Don't you worry about me! I promise to come back safely! That's a promise! Now get out of here!"
"C'mon, David! We're leaving!" Yolei said.
"You could use our help," Hawkmon said. "Allow us to aid you!"
"Besides, he killed my partner and longtime friend!" Wormmon stated.
"I said all of you go! I need to do this myself! Go now!"
Taking her orders by heart, Yolei and the digimon led the children away from the disaster zone. Yolei carried the corpse of her husband and dried out whatever tears she had left.
Sonja turns away and focuses her attention back onto the cold eyes of Jax, the monster she once referred to as her brother.
"Oh, Jax… It looks like you've returned to the bad boy you used to," Sonja muttered. "If you wish to take anyone else's lives, then take mine. Leave Yolei, my son and everyone else out of this. That's all I ever ask…"
However, Jax had other intentions in mind as he directed his hand towards the group who had fled from sight. Sonja quickly phases out and appears ahead of them as their guardian angel.
"No! I said stay away from them!" Sonja screamed.
As Jax shoots out an energy blast, the female retaliates by shooting out her own energy blast. They directed their attacks against one another and attempted to cancel each other out. However, Jax overpowered his older sister and sends her flying across through another building. The female was left sprawled in a pile of debris as her clothes were torn to shreds. Jax flies over to where she laid and spat on her motionless form.
"Stupid human."
The artificial takes off into the skies and heads out towards the outskirts of Tokyo, where Hell Fighter was awaiting for his arrival.
Sonja managed to move about through the debris and opened her eyes slowly. Tears of sadness had poured over her face. The once cold and rebellious girl had now shown full human emotion.
"Jax… How could you have done this…? I thought you resented Datamon for taking away your human life… You're nothing but a hypocrite… The baby brother… I once knew is no more… Davis… If you ever see my brother… you have my permission to… finish him…"
With that said, Sonja fell back into a comatose state and lets a final teardrop fall down from across her left cheek.
Shinjuku Park
Calumon was running away from a fleet of Vilemon and Cultivarmon. The white butterball scurried off despite possessing such tiny feet and cried out.
"CULU! CULU! THEY'RE GONNA EAT ME!"
"There's no escaping us, little one! Now get in our bellies!" A Vilemon screeched.
"No way! I don't even taste good!"
"Going somewhere shortys?!" a familiar voice calls out.
The virus digimon fleet turned to find Beelzebumon charging forward and slashing through them with his claws.
"Darkness Claw!"
Within a matter of moments, Beelzebumon stopped to watch each virus explode into a cloud of data. Calumon came out of hiding and cheered one the demon lord.
"Yay! Yay! Beelzebumon did it!"
"That takes care of the small fries. Ah, jeez! Did they really have to waste away the big boys?!" Beelzebumon said. "All they left me were these losers."
Suddenly, a deep roar was heard as Calumon freaked out. Beelzebumon turned to find the tiger deva himself emerging out ready to pounce on his unsuspecting prey.
"I've found the traitors to digimon! Now you two shall feel my wrath!"
"Um, come again? We haven't met pal, but you're already annoying me."
Beelzebumon puts out his gun in front of Mihiramon's head and pulls the trigger.
"Double Impact…"
The demon lord pulled the trigger and shoots a bullet out through Mihiramon's forehead. The tiger deva roared out in agony and exploded into a massive cloud of data. Beelzebumon grabs Calumon and takes off into the skies.
"Like I said, Calumon, small fries… Looks like they've cleaned up the mess here. Next stop, Tokyo."
"I wonder what's in Tokyo?"
"You'll see soon enough, butterball."
Digital Limbo
Back within the deepest pits of Digital Limbo, the sounds of fists being thrown and energy blasts fired had become nothing more than a distant memory. It seemed as though the fighting had ended. In fact, it has ended. The villain pair, Burizalor and Virus, was looking on from afar the distance. They looked down at the ice cube containing both Gallantmon and Omega X.
"So, Burizalor. How do you like this undignified sight?"
"Ha! Not even these two fools can stand up to our hellish technique, Hell Death Cage, which has dropped them here in the bottom of Digital Limbo."
"Yes and they put up such a great effort, but alas they couldn't withstand being frozen into two ice cubes."
"Now is the time when we avenge ourselves of all the years of bitterness we've held against Taichi! Takato will also suffer the same fate as his idol!" Burizalor snickered. "As we shatter you two into pieces!
The villains positioned themselves for a double assault on their defenseless foes. Burizalor channeled his wicked energy through the tip of a single finger and prepared to blast the ice cubes. Meanwhile, Virus cupped his hands together to unleash the Terra Beam.
"How ironic that you must die at the hands of your own technique, Taichi," Virus said. "Too bad we couldn't give you an ode to your funerals."
"It's a shame we can't even cremate our dear friends, but this is the most painful way to die, Taichi! Say goodbye!"
Just as the villains were about to attack, a flash of energy rained down upon the ice cubes and was melting away the ice. This caught Burizalor by complete surprise.
"Hey, Virus! Cease your attack! What the hell is that?!"
"What…? What's the meaning of this?!"
"The ice is melting, Burizalor! I thought you said the ice couldn't be melted by anything!"
"Tell that to him!"
The tyrant pointed up towards a massive armored warrior with a sword in one hand. The monster looked exactly like Imperialdramon Fighter Mode yet it's armor was white and had a more angelic aura to it.
"Oh no! It's him!" Virus exclaimed. "It's Paladin!"
"You two should have really done your homework!" Paladin Mode said. "This particular ice can be melted by celestial beings. Too bad you forgot that these are my grounds to watch over."
"Virus! Why didn't you tell me the ice would be melted by him?!"
"Because you asked!"
As the ice completely melted away, Omega X and Gallantmon found themselves restored to normal. Their powers remained intact and did not fade away due to being sealed within ice cubes. Omega X lets out a sigh of relief.
"Whew, that was close… I thought I was going to suffocate in there!"
"Me, too. Hey, check that out up there!"
The heroes look up to find Paladin Mode levitating above the ceiling. His holy aura rained down onto the dark realms of limbo. Burizalor and Virus turned away from the light.
"This thing always manages to happen!" Virus cried out.
"Our plan has been ruined by you, Paladin! You'll regret this!" screamed Burizalor.
"Hey, don't go screaming at me for this," Paladin replied. "You two started this. Taichi. Takato. Those are your names, correct?"
"Yeah. That's our names," Gallantmon replied.
"If you freed us from being sealed inside those ice cubes, then we thank you. But, how do you know our names?"
"Let's just say that your friend, Takeru, knows me very well."
"TK?!"
"I was the one who helped him escape limbo after Hikari defeated Virus."
"So you're the Paladin! Wow, you're power is amazing!"
"Yes, but you have far surpassed me, Taichi. I leave this to you and Gallantmon to take care of these villains. They've been causing a misfit of trouble for years down here. Can you help to straighten them up?" Paladin asked.
"Sure! You don't have to ask us twice!" Gallantmon replied. "Ready to go at it again, partner?"
"You bet! Hey, Burizalor! Virus! Wanna go for round two?! We're wasting you two punks once and for all!"
With that said, the heroes faded away and caught the villains by surprise. Virus turns to find Omega X slamming his fist into his gut. Gallantmon knocked Burizalor backwards from a single shield bash. The villain pair was sent skidding down the slope and into the pit where the ice machine was standing. Omega X takes off after Burizalor while Gallantmon was in hot pursuit of Virus.
"Good luck my friends," Paladin said. "Now to send a telepathic message to that Izzy. The time has come to open the portal back to the real world"
With Paladin taking off into the distance, the heroes started where they had left off in their showdown with Burizalor and Virus. Omega X takes off into the air with Burizalor following him out. The tyrant immediately calls forth his clones, who had emerged out from their hiding spots. The warrior turns to face them and puts his hand out. He starts to blast away each and every one of Burizalor's clones effortlessly.
"One for you! And one for you! This one's for the ol' man!"
"How dare you toy around with my clones! You'll regret this, Taichi!"
"Actually, Burizalor. I'm not kidding around. I'm through with this crap you're putting me through. Why don't you fight me with your own strength and techniques rather than rely on these pussy clones."
Burizalor growled deeply after listening to the warrior insult his clones. He shoots himself forward and throws out a fist. Omega X easily sidesteps him and knees him in the gut. The tyrant gasped out in pain and felt as if a planet had suddenly rammed into his belly. In other words, he already in pain just before Omega X even delivered the knee. Omega X takes advantage of his downed foe and slams his fists into the tyrant's back. The force was strong to send Burizalor plummeting to the ground.
Meanwhile, Gallantmon Crimson Mode was deflecting each shot being implemented by Virus. The artificial couldn't even nail a ki shot at his crimson adversary. Virus phases behind Gallantmon and applies a bear hug on him.
"Let's see you get out of this one, Takato! I'm going to break through this armor of yours with whatever strength I have!"
With that said, Virus' body started to pump up and enlarge. This helped Virus to gain more strength to apply such an effective bear hug. Gallantmon cries out in pain and attempts to break free, much to Virus' delight.
"Yes! Now, do the right thing and surrender. I just might spare your life if you do."
"…No… Never… You're the one who's going to give up!"
"What?"
Gallantmon's form radiates with a crimson aura and he quickly bursts out with tremendous energy. He sends Virus flying back. Gallantmon turns around and summons forth his Invincible Swords. He dashes through Virus and slashed through the artificial's tough hide.
"Now to put an end to this!"
The crimson knight channels more energy through his swords, materializes them into a single sword and tosses it through Virus' chest.
"Final Justice!"
The artificial is sent plummeting to the ground with the sword impaled through his gut. The villains manage to rise to their feet with little damage to their bodies. Even Virus managed to rip the sword out of his chest.
"Damn! What's it going to take to kill these guys?!" wondered Gallantmon.
"Ha! Ha! You still don't get it do you? No matter how many times you kill us… We always come back to life," Virus laughed.
"Ah. So you are technically dead, right?" Omega X said as he landed on top of the ice machine.
"That's right! Which means you two are screwed! You'll just wear yourselves out while we keep on going!" replied Burizalor.
"Well, thanks for the info, boys!" said Omega X. "You don't mind if we use this ice machine of yours, now do you?"
The warrior walks over and waves his finger over the activation button. The villain pair looks on in utter shock and gaping mouths.
"Since this ice machine works mainly on dead beings, then it shouldn't be a problem for you two. Well, it was nice knowing you two but this is your last stand!"
With that said, Omega X immediately presses the button to activate the ice machine. Burizalor and Virus quickly take off into the distance to avoid being caught in the ice winds.
"Takato! Stop them!" Omega X calls out.
"With pleasure."
Gallantmon Crimson Mode flies out to catch up to the villain pair. He quickly phases in front of the two and forms another sword in his right hand. Virus attempts to shoot out a Terra Beam, but he was stopped dead cold by another Invincible Sword. Burizalor used precious time to evade past Gallantmon. Gallantmon found himself surrounded by the clones.
"Crap! Takato's not going to hold out much longer! The ice machine's already sending out ice winds. If only I can distract the clones and draw them into the winds. Takato! I've got a plan! Hang in there!"
Omega X uses his Time Warp teleportation and appears yards away from the clones. He waves over to the clones and flies out towards the ice winds. The Burizalor clones take off after Omega X with rapid speed. The ice winds were drawing nearer. Omega X quickly teleports away from the ice winds. The Burizalor clones were immediately caught by the ice winds and each one were being turned into ice cubes.
"Yeah! Way to go, Tai!" Gallantmon cheered. "Now! It's my turn!"
The crimson knight catches up to a fleeing Burizalor and grabs him by the tail. He tosses him into Virus. Finally, Gallantmon draws out another pair of swords and channels holy energy through them.
"Final Justice!"
He sends the two swords and watches as they impale through the villains' chests. Omega X follows it up by firing a Terra Beam to push the ice winds towards the villain pair. Knowing they couldn't do a thing, the villains were caught by the ice winds and turned into ice cubes. The encased super villains plummeted to the ground to become limbo's newest decoration ornaments.
"Whew! We did it, Tai!" Gallantmon said. "You weren't about these guys! They gave me quite a workout!"
"To think they haven't changed despite being stuck down here for years," Omega X said. "It's such a shame."
"What can you expect from super villains?"
"Good point. No matter how you try to reason with them, they just won't listen. Anyone, let's forget about them. I'm sure that Paladin guy has plans for them. We have to focus on getting out of here."
"So any idea where we can find an exit?"
"To be honest, I have no clue. It's my first time being here. Wait, maybe that Paladin might know where the exit is. I say we go find him. Let's go, kid!"
"Right behind ya!"
Omega X takes off into the distance in search of Paladin with Gallantmon tagging along. If there is anyone who knows about the exit portal out of limbo, it would be Paladin. Only he holds the key to their escape from digital limbo.
Earth. Odaiba
Back on Earth, more specifically Odaiba, Mystic Celesta was on the receiving end of ferocious attacks by the Royal Knights. Her right arm being turned into metal didn't do her any favors. The angelic warrior goes on the defensive against the more powered duo.
"If my arm wasn't in this condition, I would wasted you two in no time," Mystic Celesta threatened.
"Maybe so, but you're in no condition to tell us otherwise," Dynasmon said. "Crusadermon. Let us finish off this little nuisance."
"Agreed. I'm growing tired of her voice. Tell you what sweets. Before we finish you, I wouldn't mind take that lock of that gorgeous blonde hair of yours and rip off your pretty little face."
Mystic Celesta puts her guard and channels enough holy energy through her left arm.
"Now! You are finished!" the Royal Knights exclaimed in unison.
As soon as the duo flew down towards Mystic Celesta, the angelic warrior took advantage of the situation and fires out a massive energy blast through her left arm. Dynasmon manages to dodge away, but Crusadermon wasn't so lucky. The rose-armored knight was caught by the blast and incinerated in no time.
"Crusadermon! No! You wench! You're going to regret doing that!"
"Step away from my woman!" a male's voice calls out.
Mystic Celesta laughs in glee as she watches an energy blast nail Dynasmon head on. The Royal Knight was caught in the blast and suffers the same fate as his partner did. Mystic Celesta turns to find War Angemon being followed by Pikkan, Cyberleomon, the Tamers, Tike and Kara. She looks down and watches as her right arm was restored since War Angemon easily disposed of Dynasmon.
"Hey, babe. I guess I came just in time," War Angemon said.
"Well, it's kind of embarrassing to be saved by you, but thanks."
"Mom! You were great out there!" Tike said.
"Yeah! We knew you'd pull through! Our parents are the greatest!" Kara cheered gleefully.
"Now that we've taken care of most of the problems here. I say we head out to Tokyo. I picked up onto Yamato's ki," Pikkan stated.
"Then Tokyo is our next stop," said War Angemon. "By the way, where are Davis and the Legendary Warriors?"
"Last time I checked, they were heading out to Shibuya," said Henry. "I'm sure they'll catch up with us later."
"Hey! Looks like we won't be going there alone! I see Beelzebumon and Calumon!" Rapidmon said. "Heh. Heh. Calumon's taking first class with that winged punk."
"They're heading out towards Tokyo's direction. That's exactly where we need to be going," replied Rika.
"Ok, then! Next stop, Tokyo!" Mystic Celesta said. "Let's move out!"
Outskirts of Tokyo
Meanwhile, back around the outskirts of Tokyo, two colliding forces slammed against one another across the heavens. The force of their collisions caused the city to tremble under their sheer power. The city had already been previously evacuated after an invasion had previously forced the people out.
Metalla X lands on top of a water tower and stares off at the Hell Fighter artificial. The artificial was standing yards away from the warrior on top of a devastated building.
"You evenly matched me? Ha! Don't make me laugh! Your power level is pathetic compared to mine! On your best damn day, you couldn't even fight a cold!" Metalla X insulted the artificial.
"Those are some awfully big words, Yamato," Datamon calls out.
The warrior turns to find Datamon and Dr. Myuumon levitating behind him. The masterminds were pretty confident of their artificial. This puzzled Metalla X.
"Yes, these are big words from somebody who prides himself on knowing his enemy!"
"What do you mean?!"
"This artificial being is only running at half strength," replied Dr. Myuumon. "What? You mean to tell us that you didn't know? And you think that you're superior?"
Suddenly, Metalla X and the masterminds looked up to find another person making his way over to the scene. It was Artificial Jax and he came landing down on the same rooftop where Hell Fighter stood. Metalla X was caught by surprise at the sight of two artificials.
"Wait… There are two of them?! What are you doing with two artificials?!"
"A-hoy! There mates!" Beelzebumon calls out to everyone.
Metalla X looked back to find Beelzebumon with Calumon waving out to the warrior.
"Beelzebumon?! Calumon?!"
"Thought I'd see what the fuss is all about."
"You idiot why did you bring Calumon here?! He's going to get in the way!"
"Aww. I just wanted to see some action," Calumon said. "Hey, who are those two guys? They don't look very nice."
"To you, they're mad scientists," Metalla X said.
"And what's the deal with those other two? One of them looks human!"
"It's a long story, Beelzebumon."
"Brother!"
"Matt!"
Finally, along came War Angemon and Mystic Celesta. Pikkan, Cyberleomon, Jeri, Mega Gargomon, Sakuyamon, Tike and Kara also followed them.
"TK? Kari? Well, looks like the whole gang is here," Metalla X said. "Has Tai and Takato come back yet?"
"No. They're still stuck inside that hole," Tike replied.
"But I'm sure we don't need them to beat these guys," Kara said.
"Say? What's the deal here? Who are these four guys?" Mega Gargomon said. "Yeah and one of them looks like a human."
"Dr. Myuumon?! I thought you perished at the hands of Bebimon!" Sakuyamon asked.
"You know that guy?" Jeri asked.
"He's responsible for creating Bebimon and for nearly taking our bodies for his sick experiments."
"How observant of you dear Rika," Dr. Myuumon said. "It's been a while. You thought I kicked the bucket? There's no way I'm dying on my experiments. Besides, Datamon has helped me to create the supreme artificial beings."
"Supreme artificial beings?!" Pikkan wondered.
"That's enough chat now, my dears," the Tufflesurian scientist said. "The time has come to unveil the final stage of our plan of the perfect artificial human!"
Dr. Myuumon points over the two artificial beings with sheer delight.
"My dear fools! When these two artificials merge, they will become the most perfect being ever created," Datamon stated. "Each complete part of one will fill in the incomplete gaps in the other's mechanical structures."
"Culu! Culu! He's taking big words!" Calumon complained.
"Shh. Be quiet little one," Cyberleomon whispered.
"The mechanical parts will take on an organic quality, like a cyborg," Datamon continued on.
"It will then mutate to become more efficient," replied Dr. Myuumon.
Artificial Jax steps forward to Hell Fighter and stood next to him. Their eyes simultaneously started to emit a crimson glow and their bodies were coated with bright auras.
"We are but one split in two," Jax said.
"But that's about to change," replied Hell Fighter.
Within a matter of moments, the two artificials were pulled together and merged into one being. Their incomplete gaps had finally been filled along with their mechanical parts becoming organic. Their form was then engulfed in a golden aura encasing. The digimon shielded their eyes from the exploding mass of light. The masterminds looked on with sheer delight at the completion of their ultimate creation.
"Damn! My eyes!" Beelzebumon cursed.
"I can't even see them!" War Angemon said.
As the golden aura faded away, everyone gazed their eyes upon the magnificent sight of the newly merged artificial being. His form was longer, slender and built for agility. His attire included long blue jean pants with a torn hole on the left side. The boots were long and brown. A belt buckle wrapped around his waist with a golden plate with the Pentagon insignia. His upper body attire consisted of long black spandex that covered nearly his upper form. Golden bands wrapped around his wrists. His shoulders revealed flesh from out of the spandex bodysuit. Around his neck was a long, orange bandana. His head was lowered. His black hair was lengthened nearly down to his chest.
The masterminds chuckled in delight at the sight of their ultimate artificial creation. Everyone else were shocked in disbelief that they were able to easily merge without requiring to use a fusion dance or earrings of the sort. They merged together as if they had performed a Bio-merge like Gallantmon and a normal fusion like Omega X.
"They merged with ease!" Metalla X said. "Just like myself and Tai!"
"Shouldn't you not be surprised, brother?" asked War Angemon.
"Wow… I'm speechless," Mega Gargomon said.
"Um, sis, I think we better leave this to the grownups. There's no chance in hell we even stand a chance!" Tike commented.
"Yeah, we'd just get in the way…"
Super Artificial Jax turns around to face his adversaries and sends out an invisible force, which causes the ground under them to erupt and create a massive crater. The digimon were thrown off their guards from his sheer power.
"Beelzebumon! Don't let me go!" Calumon cries out.
"Ack! You're choking me!" Beelzebumon gagged.
"Leomon! Pikkan!" Jeri screamed.
"Don't worry, Jeri. We've got you," Pikkan said. "Damn, what power!"
"About time we managed to find ourselves a challenge," said Mystic Celesta.
"Yes! At last the final stage to our plan is underway," Datamon stated.
"We have created the ultimate artificial being! Digi-Destined! Behold! Super Artificial Jax!"
"He is all we need to control this retched human infestation!"
The super artificial levitates down into the crater and looks down upon himself. Jax motions over to his left hand and examines it thoroughly. There seemed to be red orbs attached at the palms.
Metalla X had seen enough and immediately ascends into his second-level stage. He takes off from the ledge and swoops down upon the distratced Jax.
"I'm taking your ass down, bastard! Take this!"
With that said, Metalla X comes into close contact with Jax and slams his powered-up fist against Jax's face. The ferocious blow of Metalla X would have struck down any normal adversary level two. Yet, the super artificial took the fist head on without a care in the world. This caught Metalla X by complete surprise.
"Ack! You're face! But, how?!"
Jax merely smiled at the vain efforts of Metalla X, grabs his hand and tosses the warrior aside as if he were a rag doll. Next up to attack was the Tamer duo. Sakuyamon came ahead and slams her staff against the artificial's spine. The staff snaps in two.
"My staff! All right, take this! Spirit Strike!"
As Sakuyamon summoned forth a wave of spirit foxes, the artificial turns and quickly puts up an energy field. The spirit foxes were easily dispelled against the energy field. Mega Gargomon came next as he fired away his favorite missile.
"Gargo Missiles!"
The smiley missiles came ahead towards Jax, but the artificial stopped the missiles at their tracks. He merely touched the tip of them and caused them to detonate in his face. Mega Gargomon hops back as he laughed towards his efforts.
"Yeah, Henry! We nailed him!"
"Um, you might want to rethink that," Sakuyamon said. "Look above you!"
"No way!"
The artificial came levitating down without a single scratch on his body. The Tamers were stunned beyond believe that their combined efforts couldn't even make Jax flinch.
Beelzebumon puts Calumon in Jeri's hands and takes off with Cyberleomon tagging along.
"Jeri. You stay here with the kids," Pikkan said. "I'm going out there to do what I can. I can't guarantee that I can win."
"Just do your best, Pikkan. Be careful."
"I will."
The Alterian heads off towards the battlefield to get his hands dirty and pay the price. Beelzebumon flies over at Jax and throws out an array of punches. The super artificial did not do anything but remain stiff as a statue. Beelzebumon leaps backwards while catching his breathe.
"Ugh! He's unstoppable!" Beelzebumon exclaimed. "My punches should have put a dent into him!"
Pikkan came running at Jax and delivers numerous punches and kicks across his body. Then, Cyberleomon rushes by through his adversary with a single sword slash. Their efforts were in vain as Jax remained unscathed from their attacks.
"Crap! His skin is tough!" Pikkan cursed. "Takeru! Hikari!"
"Out of the way everyone!" Mystic Celesta calls out to her comrades.
"We'll take care of this! Ready, Kari?"
"You bet!"
The angelic warriors stood across at opposite ends of the battlefield with Jax standing out in the middle as their primary target. They started a chant and unleashed two powerful energy blasts.
"HOLY-"
"BEAM!"
The combined blasts hurtled towards Jax and slams against him with tremendous force. The digimon ducked away as the explosion grew bigger and caused the entire area to tremble under its force.
"Yeah! They did it!" Kara cheered.
"That was beautiful!" Jeri said. "Wasn't it Calumon?"
"Sure it was! Those were some pretty lights!"
"Um, guys. Don't be celebrating just now," Tike said. "Look ahead and you'll see what I mean."
With the smoke cloud clearing, the super artificial remained standing. His body remained completely unscathed even from the angels of light and hope. Their holy light just couldn't extinguish this evil.
"No! He survived?!" Mystic Celesta screamed. "It can't be!"
"This evil is on a whole different level!" exclaimed War Angemon.
"You've got to be kidding me?!" Mega Gargomon cried out.
"Their combined powers of light and hope couldn't do anything?!" Sakuyamon said.
"It didn't do a thing!" Cyberleomon finished.
Metalla X looks on ahead with a frightened look. Even the combined strength of his brother and Kari couldn't put the super artificial down to his knees.
"Are you fools done yet?!" Datamon scoffed. "Well then, Super Artificial Jax, now it's your turn to deal with these fools! It's time for you to demonstrate what you're truly capable of!"
The super artificial turns to face his adversaries and slowly rises from the ground through levitation. He phases out with tremendous speed and comes up towards Beelzebumon. He slams his fists against Beelzebumon to send the demon lord skidding across the dirt. Next, Jax came up towards Mega Gargomon and delivers a kick that brings the titan down to his knees. He then kicks away Sakuyamon. The artificial proceeds to double clothesline both Pikkan and Cyberleomon down with little effort. The warriors couldn't even sense out their foe's movements since he didn't emit ki energy. This made it even more difficult for them to follow out on the super fast enemy.
Super Artificial Jax polishes up on his remaining adversaries. He comes from behind War Angemon and slams his fist against his spine. Mystic Celesta tries to defend herself by blocking herself, but Jax manages to elbow her in the back of her head. Finally, Jax flies towards Metalla X and delivers an elbow against Metalla X's chest. The warrior is sent skidding across the dirt.
As soon as he finished attacking, Jax lands down and dusted himself off.
"Ha! No matter how many of you try to get together, the fact is that your collective weakness will always falter in the face of true strength," commented Dr. Myuumon.
"If you want, you can all die together," Datamon promptly stated.
Each warrior slowly rose to their feet to catch their collective breathes. Mystic Celesta shakes the cobwebs out and regains her motions.
"No! We've beaten them before and we can do it again! Dr. Myuumon and Datamon will be beaten!"
With that said, each warrior stood on their feet to recollect their energy and ascend to their most powered levels. Mystic Celesta channeled in through her hidden mystic powers once again while War Angemon ascended into his powered level one form. Metalla X gathered more energy to maintain his second level form. The Tamers only managed to regain strength to stand on their feet. Pikkan simply powers up to keep up with everyone else.
"Apparently, you have yet to understand that all of your bluster is meaningless," said Jax. "I guess have no choice but to demonstrate just a few of my skills. Watch closely now."
The super artificial takes flight above the crater and sends down an array of energy blasts that ran down upon the heroes.
"Flash Bomber!"
The warriors quickly regrouped and avoided the blasts easily. Mystic Celesta takes off into the air to catch up to the super artificial. While continuing his assault, Jax puts out one hand to block out every punch thrown by the angelic warrior.
"My fists?!"
"I told you it was meaningless."
"Ice Barrier Beam!"
Jax turns to be struck by Metalla X's most useful technique. However, Jax deflects the attack back at Metalla X. Pikkan comes behind the artificial and applies a headlock. Jax reaches over and tosses Pikkan off of him. Cyberleomon swung his sword overhead and an attempt to cut down Jax, yet the sword broke in half against the artificial's tough skin. Jax delivers a front kick against Cyberleomon's chest to send him sailing away. The super artificial proceeds to throw out a punch at Mystic Celesta yet misses. She brings her hands together to unleash her favorite technique.
"HOLY-"
Yet, she was stopped dead cold as Jax grabbed her by the neck. He tosses her down into the deep crater to become massacred by his continuous energy blasts.
"It's no use! I'm in control of this! Ha!"
"Oh damn! C'mon mom and dad!" Tike cries out.
"They can't even win as a team?! Is there any hope?!" Kara cried.
"We can't give up yet, kids. I haven't given up on Leomon and Pikkan just yet!"
"That Jax guy sure has some issues. He probably only wants new friends to play with," Calumon said.
"Friends?! What are you smoking?! That guy clearly has no friends if he's aligned with those two mad docs!" Kara replied.
"C'mon! Where's Uncle Tai and Takato when you need them?!"
Digital Limbo
Looking on through the dimension's viewing orb, Omega X and Gallantmon were witnessing the onslaught unfold with Jax taking apart their allies.
"Damn! My friends don't even stand a chance!" exclaimed Gallantmon. "Tai! We have to find this Paladin guy before they get massacred."
"I know, but we don't even know where he is! My sister, TK and Matt aren't doing well either! I'd rather be dead now than watch them getting massacred! Ugh! This is so stupid! If only we haven't been lured in this damn hellhole!"
"Why not try to use teleportation?"
"You heard what those two clowns said. It's useless here in limbo."
"They might be lying. C'mon you and I know full well we shouldn't trust punks like them."
"Good point. All right, it's worth a shot."
With that said, Omega X puts two fingers against his forehead to locate a perfect spot to teleport themselves out from limbo. After many attempts to do so, the warrior finally gave in and nodded his head.
"You're not going to believe this, Takato. For once, those two jerks were right. I can't teleport. I should have known that my technique has limits. Ok, then. Try contacting X."
"Ok, then. Here goes nothing."
As soon as he channeled his thoughts through to the masked warrior, he picked up a signal from his mentor.
"Tai! Are you two all right?!"
"Yeah. We had some run-ins with those two bastards but we managed to pull through. Can't believe Burizalor and Virus still haven't changed their ways over these years. Figures…"
"Well, you ought to know that nine times out of ten that evil never changes their colors."
"Ha! Good point, but look… You think you can get us out of this hellhole?"
"I'm afraid I can't. It's not apart of a higher power's jurisdiction to meddle with limbo's affairs. That's always been apart of the rules. Only guardians of limbo have authority."
"Can you at least bend the rules for once?"
"I really want to, but the rules are rules. Besides, I don't know why, but there's an odd force at work between the real world and Digital Limbo. Frankly, I don't know what's causing it and I don't know how to fix it. However, have you two met Paladin?"
"Yeah. We sure did! He helped us escape becoming snow cones at the hands of Burizalor and Virus. He saved our hides."
"Then, he can do it again. I'll contact him and he'll be over right away."
"Thanks, X. I owe you one."
"So, what's the deal, Tai?"
Omega X looks back to Gallantmon and gives him an assuring smile.
"Takato. Looks like we're getting back home."
Deep within Azulongmon's domain
Lying around Azulongmon's domain were the four Digital Cores. Within an instant, one orb started to crack part by some mysterious force. Perhaps the same force that X has been explaining about.
Earth. Outskirts of Tokyo
Super Artificial Jax looks down upon his fallen adversaries once the smoke cloud faded. Metalla X was the first to rise to his feet followed by everyone else.
"Ah, it still appears you still don't realize the difference in our powers," the artificial stated. "I admire your abilities to stand up after that assault."
"Oh yeah?! I admire your ability to die!" Metalla X screamed out. "Eat this! Ice Flash Attack!"
The warrior sends out a tremendous ice blast that causes the ground to tremble under its sheer might. The artificial takes the attack head on and it explodes on impact. Everyone shielded themselves from the flying debris.
"Ha! That's right! That's the last time you'll underestimate me!" said Metalla X.
But with the smoke clearing away, Super Artificial Jax remained completely unscathed from his opponent's assault.
"Ha! What a sad excuse of an attack!"
"Wha-What kind of bastard are you?!"
Super Artificial Jax puts out his hands in order to continue his 'Flash Bomb' assault. However, he felt an enormous sword slam against his back. Then, he turned to be met with an array of hurricanes. The attackers were revealed to be Kaiser Greymon and Kazemon.
"All right! It's Takuya and Zoe!" Kara cheered.
"Yes! This is exactly what we needed!" replied Tike.
"This is good news, isn't it Calumon?"
"You said it, Jeri! Hooray!"
Jax simply dusted himself off and faced the two legendary warriors. Kaiser Greymon puts his sword out in front of him and channels through the power of his firepower.
"It's two of the legendary warriors!" Dr. Myuumon exclaimed. "Finally! I get to extract some revenge on those nuisances!"
"Ah, so these are the legendary warriors who defeated Lucemon?" asked Datamon.
"Yes, but Super Artificial Jax will deal with them."
"Hey! Are you forgetting about us?!" another pair of voices call out.
Super Artificial Jax found himself surrounded by more of the legendary warriors. Metal Kabuterimon, Korikkakumon and Jagerloweemon accompanied Magna Garurumon.
"They're all here! All six of them!" Dr. Myuumon exclaimed. "This is my chance to destroy them!"
"It's about time you guys came," Sakuyamon muttered.
"They're making a mistake if they think they can attack him head on," said Mystic Celesta. "Their only prayer is Susanoomon but I doubt this guy will give them any time to form him…"
"Who said we've given up already?" Pikkan said. "We'll give them the time to form Susanoomon. What do you say?"
"I wish I had your ability to strategize in the first place."
"If that's our only option, then we'll take that gamble," said Metalla X. "Anything to beat this bastard…"
Jax looks around at each legendary warrior and chuckles. He was laughing at the sight of six warriors ready to give him a beating.
"So these fools rely on the six legendary warriors to finish the job?"
"Hey, where's Davis?!" asked Kaiser Greymon.
"He said he's get here as soon as possible," replied Metal Kabuterimon.
"I hope he hurries soon," said Kazemon.
"Davis? Oh, dear old Davis," Jax chuckled. "Has he left to check on his dear lady? I've already taken care of that nuisance."
The announcement made by Jax caused everyone to stop and listen to what he was about to reveal.
"She and Ken have been done in by yours truly."
With that said, everyone gasped in utter shock and sadness. Now they had lost two of their own at the hands of this unstoppable juggernaut. Even the strong Mystic Celesta was shedding tears.
"Ken?! That bastard killed him?!" War Angemon growled deeply.
"Not to mention his own twin sister?!" Cyberleomon said.
"How horrible!" Jeri cried.
"This meanie deserves a beating!" stated Calumon.
"For once, I agree with the butterball," Metalla X said. "Wait until I recover!"
"Leave this to us, Yamato," said Kaiser Greymon. "We'll avenge them. I promise you that."
"Then let us get started then, legendary warriors! Put your money where you mouth is," the super artificial said. "Show me how you've managed to earn the titles as legendary heroes."
"Well, you're about to get it, pal!"
Super Artificial Jax prepared himself for an assault by the six legendary warriors. One thing that they would need is plenty of time to form Susanoomon and finish off the ultimate artificial. Now was the time to avenge the deaths of Ken and Sonja.
Digital Limbo
The hero pair looked on through the viewing orb in desperation. Yet they were relieved that the legendary warriors would take over for a while.
"Good. All they need to do is pull together, regroup and stall some time," said Gallantmon.
"Yeah, but for how long? If we don't get there soon, then everyone's going to be done in."
Suddenly, the duo felt a tremendous power appearing behind them. It was Paladin, who had previously spoken to X about the situation.
"Ah, there you two are. At last, we meet again," Paladin said.
"Whoa! There you are!" Omega X said.
"It hasn't been long, hasn't it? Well, I've come to help you two. X has informed me on the matters."
"So you're aware of the occurrences on our planet?" asked Gallantmon.
"I am. I've come to help get you two out of here and only I hold the keys."
"Cool! This is just what we needed," said Omega X. "Well, Paladin. We're putting all of our faith into you."
"The powers of a guardian have many uncharted avenues."
Can they escape indeed? Their faiths rest on the shoulders of Paladin's mystical powers. Only he holds the keys to escaping Digital Limbo. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Super Artificial Jax prepares to take on the six legendary warriors after dealing with the other heroes. Can they summon Susanoomon to battle? Unknowns to him, Saber Veemon hasn't realized that his wife and best friend were killed by the artificial himself. Can he arrive in the battlefield in time and will he have the power to avenge the loss of his loved ones?

[Preview]
Omega X: Hi, everyone! It's me, Tai! It looks like Paladin is asking for help from my good old buddy, Izzy. He and Hypnos attempt to help Paladin open the portal to free Takato and myself.
Paladin: All right, we're going to have to synchronize our energies together. If they can send a direct energy signal, then I can channel one in at the same time. It will then cause a reaction and open up the gates. Let's hope it works.
Mystic Celesta: Meanwhile, Super Artificial Jax continues his flawless precision on the legendary warriors and us.
Legendary warriors: Hyper Evolution!
Jax: Prove your worth to me, legendary warriors!
Metalla X: Susanoomon takes center stage once again but I don't it will be enough to put down the super artificial.
Sakuyamon: What's it going to take to beat him?!
Saber Veemon: Sonja?! Ken?! Dead?! That bastard is going to pay!
Gallantmon: Oh yeah! We're free! That artificial doesn't realize that we've made our comeback! He's so going to get it!
Calumon: Culu! Culu! The next chapter is entitled…
The Legendary Warriors vs. Super Artificial Jax! The Plan to Escape Limbo!
Omega X: Only we can help change the planet's history forever.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kanius: What an action-packed chapter! So full of drama… For those of you who are pissed about Ken's death, then I'm sorry. I really am! Don't kill me! I don't hate Ken! I happen to like him, thank you very much! I felt this was one way to get Davis serious and not joke around. Now, who do you want to see destroy Super Artificial Jax? Tai? Takato? Matt? Davis? Takuya? Susanoomon? Who deserves to deal the final blow to Jax?! You decide but I can't guarantee that I'll pick the choice. You'll just have to wait and see to find out! There's only three more chapters to go. Well, I have to get going. See ya!

Anyway, this saga is really starting to get underway. Too bad there are only three more chapters to go. Hopefully, I can breeze through this before school starts this coming week. Now, without further ado, I say we get started on the fic! Enjoy!

The Legendary Warriors vs. Super Artificial Jax! The Plan to Escape Limbo!
Paladin stood by watching the battle on Earth unfold through the viewing orb. He waves his hand over to get another view of Super Artificial Jax.
"Um, so how exactly are you going to get us out?" Gallantmon asked. "It's not as if there are anymore doorways out of here."
"What he said… We're in a really tight spot here, pal," replied Omega X.
"Don't worry you two. I'm the one who holds the keys. However, I'll have to ask the help of a friend of yours."
"A friend of ours?"
"Yes, Taichi. I do believe his name is Koushiro."
"Izzy?! What do you need him for?"
"It seems he has made contact with X to inform me on matter. I wasn't currently present at my guardian post when the mess with the doorway opened up. Even my keys are unable to open a portal… I don't know why. So I require Koushiro to help me create energy waves that can synchronize with one another. Sort of like how the two artificials were able to perform to create the doorway out of digital limbo and into your world."
"Ok, I'm not quite following you, but I know that we have to get this problem solved," stated Omega X.
"What are we waiting for, Paladin? Let's get this over with."
"Agreed."
Paladin shuts his eyes and immediately sends a telepathic message to Izzy, who was on the other side on Earth.
"Koushiro! I've found your friends. We should really get started on this operation."
Hypnos HQ
Izzy was setting up the satellite dishes he had previously used during the experiment for Bebimon's operations. He had set them in position towards the heavens. The young man stopped as he quickly listened to Paladin's telepathic message.
"Izzy! It's me, Paladin! Are the devices set up yet?"
"The satellite uplinks are already in position to set off a direct energy signal through the spot where the wormhole once loomed. If we can just simultaneously direct each other's energy signals, then we'll successfully set off a reaction and force the wormhole open."
"Good. We're ready to get started. The others aren't faring well against the Super Artificial as we speak."
"Right. According to a report sent by Kabuterimon, the Legendary Warriors are taking action against the Super Artificial. I just hope they can hold him off for a while. Time is of essence on our parts."
"Then, let's hurry. I'm ready to get this started."
"Talley. Is everything set?"
"Uh huh. That ought to do it."
"Prodigious. Paladin's waiting for us to make our first move. Let's just hope that this method works."
Yamaki checks on each satellite uplink and gives an approving nod to the team. As soon as he nodded, Izzy presses on the control panel and activates the systems.
"All right! It's ready to go!"
Digital Limbo
Paladin quickly looks on through the viewing orb to witness the Hypnos crew set up the satellite uplinks. He focuses his concentration on his energy and puts his hands out freely.
"How long is this going to take?" Gallantmon wondered.
"It will take some time since this is the first time I've had to take such repercussions."
"All right, then. Just let us know when you guys have that portal opened," said Omega X.
"Izzy! Read set… Go!"
With that said, Paladin sends out an energy beam towards the spot where the doorway once stood.
Hypnos HQ
Izzy activated the satellite uplinks and simultaneously sends a direct signal towards the spot where the portal would be opened. However, their first effort was in vain. Their energy signals did not successfully synchronize.
"Darn! We couldn't get it right!"
"Koushiro! We're going to get this done. Don't worry about it. That portal will open."
"Right. Okay everyone! We're going to give it a few more tries! On my signal…"
"You heard him! Satellite uplinks have already uploaded and we're ready to fire."
"Good! On three… One… Two…"
Digital Limbo
"THREE!"
The guardian sends out another direct energy signal at the same time as the Hypnos crew sent another signal through the satellite networks. Unfortunately, their efforts had failed once again. That was two strikes for both sides.
"Darn! We nearly had that one! If only we could have chanted out simultaneously!" Paladin exclaimed.
"Um, how about a little help? I know a way you guys can get both energy signals to synchronize," Omega X said.
"How, so?"
"How about something like this? 'One hot potato, two hot potato, three hot potato, four hot potato?!"
Both Gallantmon and Paladin fell backwards in embarrassment over Omega X's ridiculous idea. Paladin grabs Omega X by his neck and strangles like around.
"YOU IDIOT! HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP US?!"
"What? Max and I always used that chant when we usually get lost out in summer camp. Usually when he gets lost, I would call out to him using that phrase and he would reply back. Once we both call out simultaneously, we would eventually find each other."
"Wow, I didn't really think about that. That's pretty useful," Gallantmon said.
"Yeah, especially if you want to find your way out of a deep forest with no one around to protect you. I remember last summer when Max…"
"Can we stop this idle chit chat?" Paladin asked. "I've already told Izzy about using the chant. He said that is the worst form of strategy you've ever come up with."
"Geez, critics these days…"
"But, he said he'll go along with the plan. We'll be using it to synchronize our energy signals. Hopefully, the doorway will finally open. Your friends, the legendary warriors, are already in battle with the Super Artificial. Now, let us hurry. Izzy! I'm ready!"
The heroes looked across at the viewing orb to witness Super Artificial Jax easily dodging blows from all six legendary warriors.
"C'mon, guys! Stay in top form and hang in there!" Omega X said. "We're counting on you!"
Outskirts of Tokyo
The ensuing battle was escalating as the six legendary warriors took it upon themselves to go on the offensive against Super Artificial Jax. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon led the charge. The warrior of fire struck at his adversary with his sword, yet Jax was able to maneuver away from each sword swipe.
"Hold still you!"
Magna Garurumon came diving in at the Super Artificial and goes to swipe him with his laser saber. Jax manages to phase away in time. The megas searched their surroundings to realize that the artificial had disappeared from their sight.
"Everyone! Watch your backs! He could be hiding anywhere!" Kaiser Greymon warned his allies.
"Idiots! Look up above you!" Metalla X calls out to the warriors.
Everyone turns their attention towards the heavens to spot Artificial Jax levitating with a calm and collective glare on his face. Kaiser Greymon loses his composure and flies out towards the artificial. He jumps over the Super Artificial and positions his blade over his primary target.
"Dragon Fire Crossbow!"
The Z-Hybrid warriors' blasts Jax head on with one of his most devastating attacks performed. However, the artificial took the blast without a care and his body barely had a scratch on it.
"You're kidding me?!"
"Outta my way!"
Magna Garurumon catches up towards the artificial and tightly grasps onto his laser sabers. He comes down and jams his laser sabers through Jax's side ribs. However, the super artificial was able to catch the sabers with his hands. Without even turning back to face his adversary, Jax delivers an elbow shot that knocks Magna Garurumon away. He then takes off towards Kaiser Greymon and delivers a painful elbow shot into his gut.
"C'mon, guys! We'll attack together at the same time!" Metal Kabuterimon exclaimed.
As Jax levitated down with the two megas plummeting into the ground, the four B-Hybrids surrounded the super artificial at once. Metal Kabuterimon was the first to implement an attack.
"Bolo Thunder!"
Jagerloweemon was next as he unleashed a powerful dark blast from out of his mouth.
"Ebony Blast!"
Next, Zephrymon brings down an array of tornadoes that materialized out of nowhere.
"Hurricane Hail!"
Finally, Korikkakumon crouches forward and unleashes many arrow-shaped spears from out of his back.
"Frozen Arrowheads!"
As their attacks made their mark on their target, the super artificial brings his hands forward to easily cancel out each attack. The warriors were caught in surprise by the power the artificial was displaying. He was easily taking the attacks from each legendary warrior as if they were fleabites.
"No way! He's taking them all without breaking a sweat!" Tike exclaimed.
"Why am I not surprised?" Mystic Celesta said. "That's it. We're getting back in there. I don't care if they want to complain about it either."
"No! You guys leave this to us!" Kaiser Greymon said while struggling to his feet. "Besides…"
"We still have our trump card," replied Magna Garurumon.
"That's right! They still can merge together to form Susanoomon!" stated Sakuyamon.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Don't give him anymore time to retaliate!" Beelzebumon said.
"You heard him! Let's see this unified warrior that you have been bragging about," Metalla X snapped. "Let's see this Susanoomon. We'll judge for ourselves if he stands a chance against this bastard."
"Ha! Your efforts will be in vain!" Datamon said.
"This Susanoomon could be the one that defeated Lucemon," Dr. Myuumon replied. "I've heard rumors that the ten legendary warriors came together to form the ultimate warrior. Lucemon greatly underestimated you and he paid the price! Super Artificial Jax is leagues ahead of Lucemon and will deflect whatever this ultimate power throws at him! So give it your best shot!"
"Blah… Blah… Blah… As far as we're concerned, we're going to shut that big mouth of yours once Susanoomon lays the smack down on his candy ass!" Kaiser Greymon snapped. "We're going to avenge the loss of the ones who died by this monster's hands."
"That's right! Ken and Sonja have to be avenged!" War Angemon exclaimed. "Take him down!"
"We intend to!" the six legendary warriors shouted in unison. "EXECUTE! ANCIENT SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
The six spirit warriors of legend transformed into pillars of light and united together to combine themselves. They were then pulled into a single column of light and merged into one body. The new body grew into titanic proportions and stood tall. The spirits encircled the body and dispersed across the body form.
Magna Garurumon's head attached itself onto the form's right hand. More pieces of armor attached themselves onto the legs and along came Kaiser Greymon's head attaching to the left hand. As soon as his body was covered by dark red armor with yellow stripes scattered across, the head forms. A helmet-like crown forms at the top of its head with a symbol. A mouth mask covers its lower face and a pair of eyes opened to get a view of its enemy. His lower waist was covered by a blue armor as was his feet. A pair of black glove hands came sprouting out from the heads. The transformation came to an end once a circular ring attached itself on the titan's back. The warrior finally exposes itself and completes its evolution. The unified spirit warrior lets out a cry as he calls out his official name.
"SUSANOOMON!"
The masterminds looked in utter disbelief at the magnificent, rare sight of Susanoomon. The ultimate warrior had stood before them and he was ready to take on their super artificial. Jax faces off with his larger opponent and levitates to face him off.
"My goddramon! So this is Susanoomon?!" Metalla X asked. "This was the warrior Bebimon forced me to battle when he had control voer me?!"
"Impressed, brother?" War Angemon asked.
"He'll give Jax the fight he's looking for!" Mystic Celesta informed them. "You're going to be impressed at what he can do!"
"Those kids actually did that?" Mega Gargomon said. "Well I'll be…"
Susanoomon steps forward and gets into an immediate battle stance. The face off with the two superpowers was well under way.
"This should be quite a show, Dr. Myuumon. Finally, we'll see if this one can bring out Jax's full capabilities."
"Yes, this is quite a rare sight indeed. It's a pleasure to finally get a glimpse of Susanoomon in person, but his chances of victory are the same as these fools… slim to none. Jax will overcome the warrior of legend."
"Yes, because in the end, technology prevails overall."
The two superpowers immediately got the battle underway as they clashed together. The super artificial bounces away from his larger adversary and flies overhead. Susanoomon turns to find Jax levitating behind him. He goes to snatch the artificial but to no avail. Jax had already become a much difficult catch for the titan. Susanoomon throws out his fists in order to catch the artificial's guard off.
"He's not going to catch him in this state," Pikkan said. "The artificial clearly has the speed advantage."
"Not unless one of us intervenes!" Mystic Celesta said. "Allow me to demonstrate."
The angelic female brings herself forward into the battle and tosses out an energy blast towards Super Artificial Jax. The bio-android turns to be caught off guard by Mystic Celesta's blast. This allowed Susanoomon to catch him. Jax struggles to break free with Susanoomon tightening his grip.
"You can't get away now, can you?!"
"That ought to level the planefield," said Mystic Celesta.
"Hey! Wait a minute! That's not fair!" Datamon cried out. "Blatant interference!"
"Relax, Datamon. Jax still has this won," Dr. Myuumon assured the mastermind. "Their probability for victory has already declined as it is."
"Are you certain?"
"Why would I lie? It's our creation after all. It's our ultimate artificial."
"Yes."
"Now watch Jax take apart the warrior of legend. It's only a matter of time now. Heh. Heh."
All eyes were glued onto the battlefield as Jax was struggling to break free out of Susanoomon's grip. The warrior of legend tightened his grip so that he would not let the artificial free. But, he did not take into account that the artificial had an unlimited amount of energy. He would use this to his advantage to escape and overwhelm the titan. Jax sets off a barrier, which throws Susanoomon off his game. Artificial Jax disperses his barrier and puts his hands out to fire an array of his 'Flash Bomber'. Susanoomon was struck from all sides by the artificial's blasts.
"Oh no! He's using that tactic he used on us!" War Angemon exclaimed.
"He's not going to be able to withstand this," replied Cyberleomon. "We need to get back in there and help those kids!"
"Wow. All I can say is that things aren't looking good for our side," Tike stated. "Unless the grownups do something to get in there…"
"But they were easily disposed of too!" Kara retorted. "Jeri, what do you think?"
"I don't know… Things are not looking good is all I can tell…"
"C'mon, Susanoomon! We believe in you! Knock him senseless!" Calumon cheered on the warrior.
Susanoomon plows through Jax's relentless assault and ignores the damage being given to him. The legendary warrior draws out his sword and slashes his way through the array of energy shots. Artificial Jax immediately stops his attacks and brings his sword down forward.
"What's this? I thought you were going to prove your tenacity by taking my shots head on. You're using a much different tactic than before. Still, it will not do you any good."
"You want to bet? Don't count on us relying on the same tactic. Trust me. You're in for a big surprise!"
With that said, Susanoomon's submits some of his own energy through the sword and lengthens it. He then brings the sword forward and swings it across the battlefield.
"How dull! You're resorting to the same sword tactic as before!"
"Think again! That was just a little set up of what we're going to do to you!"
"Hmm?"
Susanoomon cancels out the sword and quickly phases out. Artificial Jax turns around to find Susanoomon sending him flying back using an invisible force. The artificial found himself being buried under the pile of rubble.
"Clever trick!"
"Thanks. We thought of that ourselves," Susanoomon stated. "Now! We end this!"
The warrior retrieves his sword and takes a mighty swing against Artificial Jax for a final slash.
"Celestial Slash!"
Artificial Jax leaps out of hiding and catches the sword by one hand. This caught the legendary hero by complete surprise. The same sword used to slay Lucemon had easily been caught by the super artificial.
"No way! A guy his size just caught the blade?!" Susanoomon exclaimed.
"It's useless, legendary warriors. I won't be easily done in as your past enemies! My energy is limitless and I can easily do away with you! Now, behold the power of technology!"
"Yes, because technology prevails overall!" laughed Dr Myuumon.
"Will somebody shut that punk up?!" Beelzebumon screamed.
"Susanoomon is not going to last much longer! Pikkan!" Cyberleomon exclaimed. "We'll have to get in there and do everything we can to save those warriors!"
"Right! Hikari! Takeru! You two come along!"
With assuring nods, the angelic pair takes off with Jeri's co-partners to rescue Susanoomon from getting dismantled by Jax. The artificial brings his fists forward and slams them against Susanoomon. The warrior struggles to break out of the artificial's offensive assault. Susanoomon stumbles backwards after being smashed with an array of fists from the resilient artificial.
"What's the matter? Not so invincible, are we?"
Just then, Jax sensed out the presence of the four advancing warriors. He turns to face each one of them with determination. Cyberleomon throws his fist out and sends an energy beam while channeling through his ki. Pikkan follows it up with his "Thunder Flash Attack". Mystic Celesta and War Angemon polished up the assault by combining their "Holy Beams' into a massive amount of energy. The artificial takes the combined assault head on and catches it head on.
"All right! They've got him against the ropes now!" Tike cried out. "Now lay him to waste! Don't let him go!"
"Keep it up!" Kara screamed.
"Will this even work?" Beelzebumon wondered. "This punk is taking everything we've got and he hasn't even shown any damn fatigue…"
"Wait a second! That barrier! You guys! That barrier he's creating is what's protecting him!" exclaimed Mega Gargomon. "Gee, why didn't tell us before, Henry? Keep us in suspense."
"That's it! I should have seen this from the start!" Mystic Celesta stated. "I thought that barrier wouldn't be much of a problem and that our combined attacks would penetrate through it. It's not use even trying to attack him at once!"
"How observant," Dr. Myuumon said. "You should give yourself a medal, Digi-Destined. It seems you're the only smart one in the group. Though, you're too late to even stop now. The more fire power you give Jax, then the more you're prolonging your defeat!"
"So, we're just feeding him energy? I should have known something was fishy about his barrier," said War Angemon. "Susanoomon! Halt your attacks! You're only feeding him energy!"
"Ugh! How low!" the warrior retorted towards the artificial.
"Now that I've gotten your full attention. Shall get this over with? I've already grown bored of your games," Artificial Jax said. "You can join your two dear friends soon!"
With that said, Jax puts his hands out over his oppositions and lets loose another array of blasts. The digimon gathered around to protect themselves and their friends from being struck. Pikkan rushes over to snare Jeri away from sight, while the parents shielded their children.
"Yes! Let them have it, Jax! I told you that even Susanoomon would bite the dust!" Datamon laughed. "Isn't this glorious, Dr. Myuumon? We've finally won."
"It's only a matter of time before we take control of this human infestation and allow artificial intelligence to take over."
"Burn in hell, Digi-Destined! Quite literally!" Datamon cries out in victory. "Revenge is finally mine!"
"Heh. That's what you think fool," Dr. Myuumon said in thought.
Digital Limbo
Paladin attempted one last try with the energy signal transfer. So far, it has been two failed attempts. He couldn't screw this last attempt. In order to make it easier, he would use Tai's tactic by chanting a phrase simultaneously with Izzy.
"This is it, Izzy! Let's give this one last shot!"
"Ready! One potato!"
"Two potato!"
"Three potato!"
"Four potato!"
"GO!"
As soon as Paladin sent out one last energy signal, the Hypnos team sent their satellite signal in through towards the spot where the doorway was closed. The guardian made absolute certain that the chants were synchronized.
"This had better work! Please, hit your mark!"
Within a matter of moments, the energy signals collided with each another simultaneously. This resulted in the doorway being reopened and revealing the portal into the real world. Gallantmon and Omega X were both overjoyed by the successful result.
"All right! This is our big break!" Omega X said. "Takato! We're going home!"
"I'm so glad!"
"You two had better hurry then. The gateway is about to close again. Good luck and be careful out there. The super artificial is gaining an upper hand."
"Thank you for everything, Paladin. Don't worry. We'll take care of this problem."
"Oh and Taichi… Say hello to Takeru when you get back."
"Don't worry. I'll be sure to tell him. You take care, Paladin!"
"Hurry! It's closing!"
The hero pair flew out across towards the portal doorway leaving Paladin behind to handle the crisis occurring in digital limbo. Just then, a pair of energy shots was being fired towards Paladin. The guardian puts up his sword to block out the shots. He turned to find Burizalor and Virus, who had been thawed out of the ice for some mysterious reason.
"Hey! Shouldn't you two be locked in ice?!"
"Well, of course, you failed to take in account that we hired ourselves an insurance policy," Burizalor snickered.
"What do you mean?"
"Why not take a look behind you, my friend," said Virus.
Without even turning his back, Paladin was struck across the back by an overwhelming force. The perpetrator of the attack was none other than Cyberdramon. A sinister aura had enveloped the dragon as he stood over the fallen Paladin. It was surprising that a lower-level digimon was able to strike down an all powerful guardian.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you to never turn your back on your enemy?"
"Wha… Who are you? There's a great evil possessing you… You couldn't have the strength to do me in like this…"
"I have a message needed to be delivered. I want to you tell the higher powers that judgment is coming."
"But…"
"Don't worry. You'll see soon enough, my friend. The attacks by the hell forces are nothing to what's about to come next. This is just the first stage in our operation of end game for the human race."
"First stage?"
"Here's exactly what I want you to tell the higher powers. Though, it still won't matter what course of action they take. You will never derail our upcoming operation. The super artificial, Datamon and Dr. Myuumon… They are merely pawns in our game. Now, here's exactly what I want you to tell the higher powers and you had better tell them in full detail…"
"But, how did you crossover here? I never seen you here."
"Let's just say, I'm not who you think I am…"
"No, you couldn't be him! Millen-"
As the conversation continued, a dark shadow loomed over the individuals and concealed them for the time being. Was Cyberdramon telling the truth and are these recent occurrences merely a foreshadowing of the events yet to come? There was only one other person behind this operation and he currently wasn't present at the moment.
Shinjuku
Omega X and Gallantmon found themselves back on Earth. They looked across to find Max and Keke flying over towards them in desperation.
"Dad! Takato!" Max calls out.
"Max? Keke? What are you two doing here?"
"Well, we kind of helped with Izzy and his satellite things," Max replied. "But, that's not important now. That artificial is taking apart everyone in Tokyo! You have to hurry!"
"Where in Tokyo are they exactly?" Gallantmon asked.
"The outskirts I think," said Keke.
"No need to tell us where because I can sense their dying ki," Omega X. "C'mon, Takato! We have to hurry!"
"Can't we come too?" Max asked.
"Sorry, kids. You two stay with Izzy and Mr. Yamaki's team. Don't worry. We'll be back and clean this mess up. I promise that we'll beat this artificial creep."
"We're counting you two! Good luck!" Max said.
As they finished their conversation, the warriors took off into the distance in order to reach Tokyo's outskirts in time. Their friends were in grave danger of being decimated by the super artificial.
Outskirts of Tokyo
The battle had now taken a turn for the worse as the super artificial regained control of the momentum. He shoots Beelzebumon away a devastating energy blast and drives an elbow into Sakuyamon's gut. He polishes up on Susanoomon with a ferocious kick to his face. The ultimate warrior is sent skidding across the dirt.
"Damn it! No! We can't let them get away for what they've done to Ken and Sonja!" War Angemon growled.
"I know what you mean, Takeru!"
Super Artificial Jax stands his ground and turns to face Cyberleomon. He detaches his left arm and reveals a gattlin gun.
"Super Artificial Jax! Quit playing around! Finish them off immediately!" Datamon ordered.
Dr. Myuumon looks on from aside the battlefield with a grin while giving an approving nod to the super artificial. It seems that they had their own agenda and did not pay any attention to Datamon. Jax fired away from his gattlin gun hand and causes Cyberleomon to block away each shot with his sword. The artificial stops toying with the brave beast and reattaches his arm back on.
Suddenly, Metalla X steps back onto the battlefield with many cuts across his body. He powers up back into his level two form.
"Hey, we're not finished yet!" Metalla X calls out.
"What's that? You still want to continue, even though I've already pounded you into the ground?"
"Matt! Don't do this!" War Angemon pleaded. "You're in no condition to continue on like this!"
"TK! Do me a favor and shut it! I will not let this creep humiliate me anymore!"
"You're forgetting that this monster killed Ken and Sonja! Take that into consideration, will you?!"
"Fine. That just motivates me to want to kill him further. Artificial! Let's get this over with!"
"So, you've decided to prolong your demise? Heh, whatever suites you best."
"Don't you ever mock me!"
Metalla X once again takes off into the battlefield and phases out of sight. The artificial easily kept up with his enemy's movements and followed him out. Metalla X throws out an array of fists while the artificial dodged each blow. They dragged out the fight across the battlefield and caused the ground to erupt under their sheer power.
"Wow! Just look at my brother go!" War Angemon said. "I can barely keep up with him!"
"I can see clearly where he's at," Mystic Celesta said. "He's burning up more energy like this while that artificial remains ready to go."
"Darn! I just wish our power were limitless. We would have survived much longer than this."
Pikkan placed Jeri onto a bench outside of the crater and laid Calumon on her lap.
"You two stay here. All right? Look after Tike and Kara."
"Sure. Don't worry about us," said Jeri. "We can take care of ourselves."
"That's good to know."
"Are you really going out there, again?"
"I must…"
"Your injuries though…"
"Don't worry. I've been through much worse. Remember the D-Reaper?"
"Yes and you saved my life from it."
"Now allow to the chance to protect you again. Leomon will be out there with me."
Jeri takes the Alterian's hands and soothes them.
"Be careful and good luck, Pikkan."
"I will, Jeri. As soon as we get done, we'll get together."
"I'll be waiting…"
The Alterian warrior takes off into the battlefield to help Cyberleomon to his feet. They turned to find Metalla X going all out on Super Artificial Jax.
Jax swings a fist, which connected with Metalla X's face. The force of his punch sends Metalla X skidding across the battlefield and through a rock boulder.
"Matt!" War Angemon calls out.
However, Metalla X made a quick recovery and flies out from under the rubble. He takes off after the artificial. Jax started executing cartwheels across the battlefield to prove his agility. The artificial throws out a punch, but only managed to hit air as Metalla X quickly phased out. Metalla X catches Jax off guard and goes for a spinning kick. Much to his chagrin, the super artificial phased out from sight.
"What the hell?! I had you!"
Jax reappears behind Metalla X and delivers a deadly chop across his face. The warrior is once again sent skidding across the dirt. Jax takes aim and fires away a barrage of blasts that manage to knock Metalla X away. The result of the attack resulted in Metalla X losing his ki aura.
"Brother!" War Angemon calls out.
War Angemon takes off into the battlefield and goes over to check upon his brother. Meanwhile, Mystic Celesta looks over to find that Tike and Kara are out of harm's reach.
"Thank goodness you two are still there. Please watch them carefully, Jeri."
Back on the battlefield, Super Artificial Jax picks Metalla X by his left arm and proceeds to pound him away like a punching bag. The warrior took each blow across his chest and face. The blows were not only rapid but also painful to watch. War Angemon attempts to stop Jax, but the artificial leaps overhead and shoots down the angelic warrior with an energy beam. War Angemon was struck down but he struggled to stand up on his feet. Jax flies down to deliver a kick, which knocks him down flat on his back.
The masterminds were very much enjoying themselves while watching Metalla X getting pounded to death by the artificial.
"Hoo! Who would have thought that this seasoned warrior would fight like such an amateur?" Dr. Myuumon wondered. "It's downright embarrassing to watch."
Jax tosses Metalla X aside next to the fallen War Angemon. The artificial prepares to launch a finishing blow to the brothers.
"Now! It's time to put an end to this game for good, my vile creation," Datamon said. "Finish him off now."
Giving into the machine's orders, Super Artificial Jax puts his hand out in front of him and quickly forms an energy orb.
Metalla X struggles to move his body but he felt nearly paralyzed from the artificial's deadly blows. Even War Angemon was feeling the effects.
"Ugh, my body feels like it's been paralyzed… Damn, what's wrong with me? Surely, I can take more than this…"
"Brother… Don't think like that," War Angemon muttered. "Don't give up…"
"Now. Now. Don't criticize yourself like that, Yamato. Takeru has a good point," Dr. Myuumon said. "You tried your best and that's what's important."
The artificial's energy orb grows larger as the seconds passed by. Just then, Mystic Celesta used this precious time to phase away and sneak up behind Datamon. She flies out at Datamon and delivers a kick across his face. The small android is sent flying back until he was caught into the clutches of Susanoomon.
"Ugh! What's the meaning of this?! Unhand me you brute!"
"Call back Super Artificial Jax, Datamon!" Mystic Celesta threatened the android. "Call him back or else Susanoomon crushes you!"
"What the hell for?! I have no plans to call abck on my artificial! I haven't come this far from extracting my revenge on you humans!"
"Do it or become crushed like a can!"
Susanoomon nods his head and raises his other fist. The tiny android panicked and started sweating bullet.
"Ok! Ok! I'll do it! Super Artificial Jax! I order you to stop your attack on those two right now! That's an order!"
However, much to his dismay, the artificial turns around and positions his attack onto Datamon. The tiny android shrieked in fear as his own creation had set his attack on him. Datamon was once again betrayed by his creation.
"Don't you dare do it, Jax! I am your creator!"
This caused Dr. Myuumon to cackle like a madman while facing with his now-former partner in crime.
"Ha! You actually thought you were in control?"
"What?!"
"Are you really that ignorant, Datamon? I reprogrammed Hell Fighter to only obey orders from myself. I'm sure you would have noticed, but you're too stupid for that."
"So… So you've been against me this whole time?! Myuumon, you dirty traitor!"
"Hardly. Your ambition to control the human's planet is inadequate at best. As long as this Super Artificial Jax is around, conquering the entire galaxies in both worlds is not a dream. It shall be a reality! Jax can no longer be considered a simple artificial human being with extraordinary powers. He's been reborn by my hand as the ultimate machine mutant!"
Datamon looks on with a slight sadness across his face. The artificial maintained his energy orb directly at his former creator. The android looks ahead and looks back at past images of Artificial Jax, including the day of his creation.
"So, you're going to betray me again, my precious Jax?"
"Crap! He's about to shoot that at us! Hikari! Let's move!" Susanoomon exclaimed.
"You said it!"
"No! NOT LIKE THIS! DAMN YOU!"
With that said, the warrior pair moved aside as Artificial Jax fired the energy beam directly towards Datamon. The android lets out a horrifying scream as the blast hit him head on and destroyed his body.
Susanoomon and Mystic Celesta land outside of the crater to witness the destruction of Datamon take place. The artificial merely nodded his head in disappointment.
"You Earthlings alike are nothing more than small fries. Datamon's demise is just a small dosage of what I'm about to do to you."
Jax turns his attention back over the fallen brothers.
"Let's clear out the rest of this planet's best, even though they are quite fragile at best. I'll start with these two pathetic louses before they have a chance to embarrass themselves again."
"Oh no! TK! Matt!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
"Dad! Uncle Matt!" the children screamed.
"Yes, Super Artificial Jax. That's the way. With Taichi and Takato out of sight, we have nothing to worry about. You may proceed as planned."
However, the name of the Digi-Destined leader caused Metalla X to regain consciousness. He growled deeply over the namesake of Taichi Kamiya. He sits up angrily and clenches his fists.
"Taichi?! Did you just say Taichi?! You will mention that name again when I'm around!"
The warrior of friendship's aura exploded around him once again and he leveled up back to this second level stage. He faced off with the super artificial.
"I'm the leader and sole protector of earth! Takato is nothing more than an inexperienced, teenage rookie! Taichi is only a clown who knows his own stomach and his own stupidity! I'm here to finish the job and I intend to do it!"
"Ugh. You humans with your blabbering," Dr. Myuumon said. "I don't understand how you can so prideful, Yamato. You're the perfect reason why humans should die. Look at you. You've aged since your glory days. The limitations of your flesh are no match for our kind. It truly disgusts me how you say you can protect this planet on your own. Your human race is of no use and you've lost the pride you've once stood for."
"You're wrong, Dr. Myuumon! I will prove you wrong! We, humans, do deserve to exist! I may not be what I used to be, but I've grown to accept those around me! Taichi maybe an idiot, but he is my friend! Now feel my rage!"
As soon as he said that, Metalla X phases out from sight and goes to deliver a spinning heel kick against the super artificial. Jax ducks under and kicks Metalla X across the face. The warrior is sent skidding across against the ground. Jax prepares to deliver the finishing blow to the fallen Metalla X.
"Now! Finish him, Jax! Prove why we artificial beings are superior to the human race!"
"Matt! Move out of the way!" everyone called out.
Just as Pikkan and Cyberleomon made their move, Gallantmon came flying out of nowhere and knocks the super artificial's attack away with his swords. Omega X teleports onto the battlefield picks Metalla X up and flies him over to Mystic Celesta.
"Tai! You're back!" Mystic Celesta said happily.
"Yeah. Sorry we're late guys. We've had ourselves some trouble in limbo. Here, can you take Matt?"
"Sure."
"Good. It's a good thing we came here in time. Takato! Make room for me!"
"Right!"
"Hey, Tai. What makes you think you can take this creep on?" Susanoomon asked.
"I won't know until I fight him. It's only worth a shot."
"But- But how?! How did he get here?! Those two were supposed to be trapped!" Dr. Myuumon wondered.
"Sorry doc, but we're here to clean up the mess you and that android have caused," Gallantmon said. "Tai! What do we say we tag team him?"
"Not yet! Leave this one to me."
Omega X levitates down onto the battlefield and walks over to where Gallantmon stood. He pats a hand on the crimson knight's shoulder.
"You go and take care of Rika. She and Henry may need some help to recover. Tend to their wounds and then follow me out."
"Sounds like a plan. I'm on it!"
Gallantmon heads off to where his two Tamer allies had fallen. The golden-clad female warrior looks up at Gallantmon and smiled.
"Ta-Takato?"
"It's me, guys. Don't worry. Tai will take care of everything from here."
"That's good to know," Mega Gargomon said.
"Remember, we're here when you need us, Tai!" Mystic Celesta said.
"Whoa… it's him again. Man, I'd like to go one on one with him one day," Beelzebumon said under his breath.
"This ought to be interesting," Pikkan sstated. "We'll see if a level four can take on this ultiamte artificial."
"If anyone can, my brother can!"
"Tai?" Metalla X said as he looked out onto the battlefield. "Damn you… You just had to save me, huh? I'll get you back for this…"
Metalla X falls to his knees while catching his breath.
"Where TK?"
"Don't worry about him. Takato is already taking him away from the battlefield. Now Tai can fight at his absolute best," said Cyberleomon.
"Good…"
"Do you think he knows about Ken and Sonja's deaths?" Jeri said.
"It's best we don't tell him just yet," said Pikkan.
"Too late for that, Pikkan," Omega X said in thought. "I sensed his and Sonja's lives being drained away when I was in limbo. Don't worry, guys. I'll avenge their deaths. I promise you that."
Dr. Myuumon takes a look at his adversary and was shocked at the new appearance of Omega X. He was currently at his fourth level form.
"Um, don't mind me if I ask this? But, how did you change? You don't look the same from the last time I saw you."
"This is my fourth level stage, Myuumon. Using this form, I defeated your precious Bebimon. Practically, you can refer to me as a godly being."
"Godly? Pfft. Don't make me laugh! If anything, we artificial beings will become your new gods!"
"Want a bet?"
"Nonsense! Super Artificial Jax is more than capable of sending you back to where you came from!"
"Ha! Thanks, but no thanks, Myuumon. I spent more than enough time in digital limbo! It's something I don't want to experience again!"
"Quit your babbling! My specimen will make short work of you, Taichi! Your pathetic friends were all beaten, including Susanoomon!"
"Maybe so. But I wouldn't be so confidant, Myuumon! You failed with Bebimon and you'll fail again!"
With that said, Omega X powers up with a bright, red aura of internal rage. He prepares myself to take on Super Artificial Jax and will attempt to put another one of Dr. Myuumon's sinister projects to rest once again.
"You can do it, Tai! We believe in you," Gallantmon said. "But we won't just stand here to let you hog the glory. We're here when you need us."
Omega X takes off towards Jax and the two superpowers collided to cause a chain reaction that causes the area to explode under their power.
Deep within Shinjuku
Saber Veemon found himself scaling the skylines in search of his wife and his friends. There were no traces of them. What worried him the most was the path of destruction left in the wake of the invasion.
"This is terrible. I'm just glad the problems have already been taken care of," Saber Veemon.
"Davis. I'm picking a dying energy signal from across the city. It's coming from a human life form."
"Is that right, Dorothy? Who is it?"
"From what I can make out. It's that friend of yours. His name is I do believe Ichijouji."
"Ken?! Oh no! We're heading out!"
With that said, Saber Veemon takes off into the far distance. The mention of Ken had caused a painful heartache on the young man. He and Ken had been best friends since Davis had pulled Ken from out of the dark side. He helped Ken to abandon his old Kaiser routine to join the Digi-Destined in the first place. With the news of Ken possibly dying, he rushed out like never before. His once goofy smile had now taken a more serious emotion.
He stops to find Yolei, David and everyone else gathering around Ken's corpse.
"Look! It's dad!" David cries out.
"Davis! Over here!" Sam exclaimed.
As soon as he made eye contact with Ken's corpse, Saber Veemon flies down to hurry over towards Ken's body. He kneels over and takes the young man's cold hand. Saber Veemon lets out a horrified gasp.
"Ken?! KEN?! Yolei… I'm sorry…"
"Davis… It was horrible… He was murdered!"
"Yolei. You have to tell me who did this. Who could have done this horrible action?!"
"It was… the artificial…"
"Which one? My wife would never do such a heinous act."
"I think Sonja was done in as well."
"Sonja's been killed?!"
"I don't know…"
"No way! Mom can't die! She just can't!"
"David, please let Yolei speak…"
"Davis… It was Jax… The artificial brother…"
"What, Jax?! Him?!"
"Yes, he was the one who murdered Ken and he could have possibly destroyed his sister too!"
Saber Veemon stopped as he growled deeply with an overwhelming anger overtaking the warrior. Yolei looks up at Saber Veemon and wipes her tears away. She takes his hands and hugs him tightly.
"Oh, Davis… You have to avenge their deaths. That guy needs to be put out of his misery!"
"You don't have to tell me twice, Yolei. Just leave everything to me. It's safe here anyways with the threats gone."
"I think I just saw Joe and Cody here a while ago."
"Good then you guys go with them," Saber Veemon advised the group.
"Ken! Allow us to assist you," Wormmon said. "I need to avenge Ken, too! He was my partner after all."
"Sorry, but without Ken, you can't digivolve. You'll only be wasting your life away. I'm sorry, Wormmon."
"How about myself?" Hawkmon suggested.
"Sorry, but I have to do this on my own," Saber Veemon said. "Yolei. Take Ken's body somewhere safe. Take care of him. He's our friend."
"Where are you going?"
"To find Sonja and to kill that bastard."
"But, Davis…"
"Stay back, Yolei. Just stay here and take care of everyone, including my son. Please, that's all I ask for."
"Ok…"
"Don't fret. I'll be back. Dry those tears away and be tough. I'll see you around, everyone. David, be good. Time for daddy to take care of business."
Saber Veemon flies off from the area and disappears further into the distance. He leaves everyone behind to relocate into another safe location. Yolei walks over to Ken's corpse and picks him up. Her eyes no longer shed any tears as Davis had requested.
"Don't worry, Davis. I will be tough. Ken would want us to remain strong. I'll be strong for him. Kid. We'll be heading out north. David. Show me where you last saw Cody and Joe."
"Sure. Just follow along with me, okay?"
Azulongmon's Domain
With Azulongmon gone to attend to some important matters dealing with the urgent situation in limbo, another one of the digital cores started cracking. This was not the first core to crack and it didn't seem natural for them to be in this condition. Was this merely an ominous foreshadowing of what's to come soon?
Shinjuku District
Saber Veemon was flying out from the city in order to find the whereabouts of Jax. He was not only planning to destroy the artificial but to avenge the loss of his loved ones. He immediately stopped as he came across a person emerging out from the rubble. He looked down and recognized the woman's raven hair. He then got a glimpse of her angelic face and flies down over to the woman.
"Sonja!"
She looks up at Saber Veemon and slightly grinned. There was barely any life within her as she took a heavy blow from her brother's attack.
"Davis…"
"Babe. You're a damn mess… So, is it true? Did Jax do this to you?"
The female bio-android nods in reply to Saber Veemon's question. He then noticed some tears pouring over her eyes. This was the first time he had ever seen his wife shed any tears. The once cold woman was showing a display of emotion like a normal human being.
"I knew you had a heart, Sonja. It was just a matter of time. You can feel pain and sadness."
"Please… Stop him… Stop my brother… Stop him from hurting anyone else…"
"I intend to. At least you're alive, but Ken is gone," he said with sadness in his voice. "I know we can use the digital cores to bring him back, but… This is Ken we're talking about. He's the last person I'd know that would ever die… It hurts…"
"I know… As of today, I've lost… a brother. That monster is no longer… my brother… Stop him… If you must… Kill him… You have my permission…"
"Sonja?"
"Do it… for all of us…"
With that said, Sonja lets out a deep sigh and undergoes another comatose state. Saber Veemon picks her up and sets her down onto a bench. He plants a kiss on her forehead and chants in prayer.
"I will stop him, Sonja. This madness will stop."
Saber Veemon has vowed to avenge his loved ones and prepares to set off to stop Super Artificial Jax. But will even his powers be enough? Meanwhile, Tai now stands as the prime contender against Super Artificial Jax! Can he stop a stop to this madness, or does Dr. Myuumon have more tricks up his sleeve? And who is hatching up the sinister plot down in digital limbo? What are the motives of Cyberdramon/Millenniumon?

At Last! Super Omega X 4 Vs. Ultimate Artificial Jax!
Outskirts of Tokyo
With everyone recovering from their battle, they gazed onto the battlefield to find Omega X preparing himself. The warrior stood out on top of a rock ledge with Super Artificial Jax levitating over the horizon. Mystic Celesta sets her eyes onto the face off.
"Kari? How about giving me a hand with everyone?" asked War Angemon. "Tai… I'm sure he can take care of himself."
"I know, but I'm interested to see how my brother can take this guy. I mean not even Susanoomon could even do damage to him."
"I know and we all paid for it. We underestimated him. I'm positive your brother will find a weakness on that thing."
"You're right. Let's leave this to my brother. He'll take care of this artificial."
"Tai! We're going to be evacuating everyone from here! Take care of that artificial! We're counting on you!"
"But just in case you end up in trouble… We'll be here."
Omega X turns to give his friends an approving nod and turns his attention back onto the super artificial. Dr. Myuumon stepped out onto the open and cackled.
"Interesting. You and Takato were able to escape limbo. However, now that you're back then my super artificial will just have to send you back by killing you!"
"No way, doc! I'm not going back down there again! Besides, I don't even want to know what kind of prison food they serve down there!"
Omega X encircles the super artificial and quickly powers up. The warrior became enveloped in a raging orange-red aura of light. This indicted the current mood the warrior was enduring and sure didn't look like he was going to befriend the artificial monster.
Also looking on from the far distance were the Tamers. Gallantmon had helped Mega Gargomon and Sakuyamon out from the crater. The crimson knight sets his sights on the battlefield.
"Go get him, Tai! We'll leave the fun to you… for now."
"Well, Dr. Myuumon. Looks like you and that super artificial have had plenty of fun because it all ends here. I intend to put an end to your android reign. Super Artificial Jax! I'll never forgive you for taking the lives of Ken Ichijouji and Sonja! You're going to regret messing with my friends and pissing the hell out of me!"
Omega X's aura explodes into a bright flash of light and blinds nearly everyone around the crater. The super artificial maintained his stance and takes charge towards Omega X. The warrior effortlessly maneuvers to the side and slams an energy-coated fist into Jax's chest. The super artificial lets out a gasp and is sent hurtling across the heavens. Omega X takes flight after Jax.
"Holy crap! Did you see that?!" exclaimed Pikkan.
"Whoa! He put nearly every ounce of energy into that fist alone!" Cyber Leomon said. "Incredible!"
"That just comes to show you never to piss off uncle Tai," Tike said.
"He's going to take out that piece of trash," replied Kara.
"I hope so," Jeri said. "What do you think, Calumon?"
The tiny white digimon hopped around like a cheerleader and waved a flag with Tai's full name written in Kanji.
"Go, Tai! Go, Tai! Go! Go!"
Across the heavens, Omega X was traveling out to catch up towards Super Artificial Jax. He found no traces of the cyborg mutant since Jax does not emit ki. He looks out through the clouds and finds an array of blasts being fired simultaneously towards Omega X. The warrior puts up a barrier to knock away the blasts.
"Damn! You sneak! I can't even pick up on your ki since you don't have one! Why don't you come out of hiding?!"
"Gladly…"
The warrior listens out to a deep voice coming from behind his back and turns to face Jax. The artificial brings a fist forward and retaliates with his own force. Omega X is sent hurtling across the heavens from the force of Jax's fist.
"How do you like that one, Taichi?"
"That bastard… Heh, so you've managed to get me off guard."
Suddenly, Omega X finds Super Artificial Jax already catching up to him. The cyborg phases above Omega X and slams closed fists against the warrior, which sends Omega X plummeting down through the earth below. Super Artificial Jax takes off into heavens and finds him soaring up through the atmosphere. He makes a stop above the earth's atmosphere and unleashes an array of his 'Flash Bomber' attack.
Omega X looks up to find a streak of lights raining down from the heavens. He quickly managed to use his 'Time Warp' teleportation to maneuver away from the raining blasts. He made sure to avoid being struck down.
"He's high up through the atmosphere! So, he wants to play, doesn't he?!"
Omega X roars out angrily and takes off after his adversary. He flies past the heavens and through the planet's atmosphere. Since his armor has enabled him to survive out of the atmosphere, he would have no trouble with oxygen since the armor provides him protection. It was as if he were protected with his own astronaut suit. Only in this case, he could travel out into space with ease. The warrior finds Super Artificial Jax continuing to unleash an array of shots. He brings himself forward and slams another fist into the super artificial's gut. Omega X brings more fists forward and goes fist crazy on the artificial.
"This one's for Ken and this one's for Sonja! You're going to pay for the damage you and the doctors have caused!"
The warrior of courage grabs Jax by his bandana and tosses him down through the atmosphere. Omega X follows out with the super artificial, who was plummeting down into the earth below. Omega X powers up and transforms himself into a fiery comet of energy. The rage ensuing through the warrior was enough for him to fly down past the artificial and slam another fist into the super artificial. Jax cries out as he was caught by the warrior's fist.
"This one's for sending myself and Takato to limbo! Now you're going to die and join the evils of limbo!"
However, the super artificial was not giving into Omega X's offense. He snatches Omega X's hand and pushes it away.
"Hands off, human. I'll be sure to send you back to limbo where you belong. Then, I'll get each and everyone of your friends."
"Never… And I mean NEVER mention my friends. You have no right to refer to them! I'll be sure to protect every single one of them! Do you hear me, you heartless bastard?!"
Omega X throws out a fist at Super Artificial Jax, but the artificial dodges to the side. The warrior angrily unleashes a fury of punches but none were successful in making their mark on the super artificial. Super Artificial Jax delivers a kick to the warrior's face, which sends him soaring into the skies. The artificial phases out and reappeared above Omega X to deliver an energy blast. This results in Omega X once again plummeting down through the earth below. The warriors have been battling it out so far across the planet. Now, Omega X found himself within a crater and looked around to find himself within the Rocky Mountains. They had battled across Japan all the way to North America.
"Whoa… Didn't know the Rocky Mountains were this big… Uh oh… Here he comes…"
The super artificial levitated down into the crater to find Omega X rising to his feet with cuts inflicted on his body.
"You think you've gotten me all figured. Do you, pal?"
Jax steps forward and points a hand out towards Omega X as if he were preparing to fire another shot.
"Well, believe me! You and Dr. Myuumon don't really know what I'm capable of!"
Omega X sets off another aura explosion and fires a massive energy blast through his hands. The super artificial takes the blast head on and is sent skidding back through the side of the crater. The force was enough to push Jax through the rocky edge and buried under a ton of piled rubble. Omega X wipes his forehead and gives the mounted debris a 'double bird'.
"Ha! How did you like that one, jackass? I bet you didn't see that one coming!"
However, the warrior's short-lived celebration came to a halt. The super artificial came rising out from the debris and smoke. Parts of his body were enlarging in a muscular mass as if he were gaining more power. This managed to confuse Omega X. Why would the super artificial's body be enlarging after being fired out with a shot as big as Omega X had created?
This only managed to make the warrior grow a little more impatient He lets loose an array of ki shots.
"You want some more, Jax?! I can keep this up all day!"
Unfortunately, each ki blast was somehow being drawn in through Jax's body. The artificial remained unscathed from Omega X's assault and remained standing. It looked as if Jax was absorbing his ki blasts yet the warrior hasn't realized it yet. His friends didn't forewarn him beforehand.
"All of those attacks and he still hasn't taken damage?! This is really pissing me off! TERRA-"
Omega X came charging forward and cupped his hands together. He starts to chant out his technique and fires a massive blast of his Terra Beam right in front of the super artificial himself.
BEAM!"
Super Artificial Jax maintained his stance and took the full blast head on. The artificial screams out as his body quickly started to absorb the energy of the Terra Beam. However, Omega X puts more power through his attack and causes the ground to explode under his sheer might. The warrior flies out and allows the explosion to detonate while taking the super artificial along with it.
As the explosion dies off, a smoke cloud covers the newly made crater. Omega X looks out in search of his enemy but finds no traces of him. He assumed that he had finished the artificial off.
"You really think you have me figured out?! Let's see you come back from that one!"
Out of the crater, Super Artificial Jax slowly emerges and sets of a massive energy beam. This easily caught Omega X off guard and left wide open for a direct attack.
"You ought to be more direct with your assault, Taichi!"
Super Artificial Jax came flying out of nowhere and rams a fist into Omega X's face. The force was enough to send the warrior hurtling through the landscape and all the way across from the Rocky Mountain area and all the way towards the Pacific Ocean's coast. Omega X plummets down into the ocean and tries to gather back strength to recover. Super Artificial Jax appears at the site and looks down into the ocean depths for his adversary.
"Taking a swim, are we?"
Omega X regains his composure and looks back to the relentless and unlimited power of the super artificial. He noticed something very odd with the way that Jax has managed to overcome him even as a level four warrior.
"What kind of freak it this guy?! He took my patented Terra Beam squarely and he hasn't even taken damage yet! On the contrary, his speed and power are rising rapidly! Could it be that he can really see through all of my techniques?"
As Omega Was sinking even further down into the ocean, he noticed a crimson figure moving through the ocean. He peers ahead to find what looked like Gallantmon. In fact, it was Gallantmon. The crimson knight picks Omega X up and soars out of the ocean. Super Artificial JAx faces off with the pair.
"Takato?! Guilmon?!"
"I told you we wouldn't let you have all the way."
"Heh, you really did mean it, huh kid?"
"Don't forget about us," another voice calls out.
Susanoomon came flying out from the heavens to meet with his comrades. Now the super artificial might just have to deal with three warriors at once.
"It's amusing how you are forced to work together as a team. This really comes to show that even your best efforts will not be enough to overcome me."
"You just never learn to shut up, do you?" Susanoomon said. "Looks like you're in bad shape, Taichi."
"I'll be fine. That guy took my Terra Beam and he still managed to survive it."
"You're kidding me," Gallantmon said. "We'll just have to be very careful around this guy. Susanoomon. How about a little tag team?"
"Sounds fine by me."
"Hey, Jax! We're going to your next opponents now!" Gallantmon calls out to the artificial. "You think you can handle all three of us?!"
"I bet you can't," Susanoomon said as he wielded his blade sword.
"Heh. We'll just put that to the test. Won't we?" the artificial taunted the trio.
"You bet! You're finished, Jax!" Omega X replied. "Let's finish this once and for all!"
Outskirts of Tokyo
Everyone gathered back together to heal their wounds and be treated by Mystic Celesta's healing light. War Angemon was awfully worried since Susanoomon and Gallantmon took off to find Omega X.
"Hey, dad!" Tike called out. "What are you doing standing around for?"
"They've been gone for quite a while. Susanoomon and Gallantmon left just about twenty minutes ago. I just wonder how Tai is holding up against that monster."
"C'mon, dad! This is uncle Tai we're talking about! He's going to cream that punk!"
"Yeah! Just wait and see! They'll be back before you even know it!" implied Kara.
"You two are sure confident about this," War Angemon said. "You're right. Hey, Kari! How's the healing coming through?"
"Everything's going great here. I've just about healed everyone. Beelzebumon was a bit pushy though."
"What? I said I didn't need your healing," Beelzebumon snapped. "It's not like I need help…"
"Yeah. Like you could have taken that android by yourself," Mega Gargomon said. "Yeah! You would have gotten your butt kicked, Impmon!"
"What was that?! I heard that helicopter head!"
"Takato… Guilmon… I just hope you two are pulling through for Tai," Sakuyamon said.
Just then, Pikkan felt an overwhelming force heading towards their direction. He looks up and feels out Saber Veemon's ki. Soon, the other digimon were able to feel out on him.
"Look! It's Saber Veemon!" Jeri calls out.
"He's sure in a hurry. Now isn't he?" said Tike.
"Yes. I get it," Pikkan said.
"What's that, Pikkan?" Calumon wondered.
"He's more likely been aware of the deaths of Ken and Sonja. There's no stopping him now," the Alterian said.
"But he won't stand a chance!" War Angemon said. "We have to stop him!"
"We don't have to do anything," replied Cyberleomon. "Right now. He is consumed with hatred and anger. He will stop at nothing to get his hands on the artificial. There is no reasoning with him."
"We have to at least try!"
"TK! No!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed. "We'll leave this to them. If anyone can avenge their losses, then I have a feeling that Saber Veemon will pull it off."
"How? He's not strong enough to put down a monster like Jax," said War Angemon.
"You're going to have to trust in him, brother," Metalla X said. "Davis has suffered greatly. We'll leave him with his revenge."
"Matt…"
"It's all right, TK. Just let him go."
War Angemon looks out into the heavens and looks back to the long-time friendship he's had with Davis.
"Go get him, my friend. Make him pay for what he's done with Ken and Sonja."
Eastern Shinjuku
Lying on top of a rest bed inside of an abandoned hospital, Ken was laying peacefully with the sunlight looming over his lifeless form. Yolei was found crying on his rest bed.
"Oh… Ken… Why did this have to happen to you? Why?! He should have killed me too!"
"Yolei! Don't talk like that," a voice was heard from outside the room.
Yolei looks up to find an older Cody with Armadillomon at his side. The childhood friends embraced together since it has been a long time.
"Cody. Look how much you've grown, squirt…"
"That brings back memories. I'm sorry for what happened, Yolei. Ken did not deserve such an ill fate."
"I know… Davis has gone to find that monster."
"He'll destroy him. Just wait and see."
"Next thing you know, we'll be reviving ol' Ken back to life," Armadillomon said. "Cheer up! Everything will be fine once the guys get rid of that monster."
Yolei nods her head in agreement with her friends and wipes the tears from her eyes. Flying into the room with a bed sheet, Hawkmon covers a chair.
"I'm sure you could use some rest, Yolei," Hawkmon said.
"Yes. I just need some time to be alone. It was nice to see you, Cody. But you think I could use some time alone?"
"Anything. C'mon, Armadillomon."
As the partner pair walked out from the room, Wormmon closed the door and shut out the lights. Cody noticed Joe and Gomamon walking towards them.
"How's she doing?" Joe asked.
"Fine, but she said she's needs some time alone."
"That invasion really scared off the whole city. There's barely anybody here that we know," said Armadillomon.
"I know. I really don't blame them," Cody replied. "Um, Joe."
"What is it, Cody?"
"Tell me. Has Davis really left to find that artificial?"
"From what Yolei told me, he did leave."
"But what are the chances of his survival?"
"Hey! Don't say that! David is here after all! I think the last thing he wants to hear is that a friend of his is doubting his survival."
"Sorry, but this artificial seems unstoppable."
"Not if Davis is backed up by Tai and the others. They'll win," Joe said.
"Cause we're like the musketeers!" Gomamon implied. "All for one and one for all!"
"Being a little overdramatic, Gomamon?"
"I couldn't resist it, Armadillomon. Heh."
"In any case, they'll avenge Ken and Sonja."
"Where is Sonja anyway?"
"Unfortunately, we couldn't find her. I'm sure Davis would have by now. But you have to trust me on this. They will be avenged and everyone will be happy in the end."
"You're right. Maybe I'm just worried, but I won't lose faith in our friends. We will pull through."
"That's the spirit, Cody. Now, what do we say we get some food from the cafeteria?"
"Great idea. What do you say, Armadillomon?"
"As long as hospital food here is edible, I'm fine with it."
With the Digi-Destined pair heading off into the cafeteria, their partners followed them out. Just then, Gomamon felt a weird vibe from down the hall. He turned and found no source of where the weird vibe may have come from.
"What's wrong, Gomamon?"
"I… I don't know…"
"Come on! The cafeteria is calling out our name!"
"Hey, wait for me!"
Unknown to them, a dark mysterious figure disappears through a doorway. As he was walking along, he drops an orb onto that ground and leaves it behind. The orb looked like one of Azulongmon's digital cores. In fact, it was one of the cracked digicores. Slowly but surely a mist of black smoke emerged from the orb. The figure returns back to unveil himself. The figure looked like a young man with eyes that looked as if they were possessed by a demonic power.
"Soon… the seven monsters shall be released. It's only a matter of time. Phase one is nearly complete."
With that said, the human takes a walk into the hallway and disappears into the dark halls. There was an eerie effect that was circulating through the empty hospital and certainly was not good news for those currently occupying it.
Pacific Ocean
Omega X unleashes an array of fists against the super artificial, but Super Artificial Jax dodged each attack. The warrior couldn't even land a single punch on the artificial.
"Move out of the way, Tai! We've got this one! Celestial Slash!"
With that said, Susanoomon makes a move towards Super Artificial Jax and swung his sword overhead. Jax manages to phase away and reappears above the legendary warrior. He then unleashes a shower of his 'Flash Bomber' over Susanoomon. The warrior puts up his guard and attempts to block them away with his sword. The showering blasts were strong enough to put down the fused warrior.
"Now it's my turn!" Gallantmon calls out. "Eat this! Invincible Swords!"
Gallantmon brings himself forward and slashes his twin sabers towards Jax. The artificial stops and immediately absorbs the sword's powers.
"Oh no! He just sucked up my attack!"
"Didn't we just say that we shouldn't be doing that?!" Susanoomon pointed out. "Tai! You can't send energy towards this guy! He'll simply absorb through his body and gain more power!"
"Well, gee… Thanks for the warning! What now? If our ki will be absorbed, we'll just have to attack by force, but even then… He'll just dodge our blows!"
"I have a suggestion," the artificial implied.
"What would that be?!"
But just as the trio turned to face the artificial, Jax was gone from their sight. Super Artificial Jax reappears behind Gallantmon and taps him on the shoulder. The crimson knight turns around and goes for an elbow shot, but Jax delivers a fist against Gallantmon's face to send him hurtling across the skies and through the heavens. Jax proceeds to grab Susanoomon by the right foot and twirls him around. After spinning for the next twenty seconds, Jax sends Susanoomon soaring up along with Gallantmon. Omega X charges forward and goes for kick. Jax manages to catch Omega X by the foot, spins him around and sends him sailing up after a massive energy blast.
"Those three can't even provide me with a challenge," said Jax. "Looks like I'll just have to finish them off right away."
The super artificial takes off into the distance to chase after his adversaries. He follows out on their ki and knew that they were being sent right back to Japan. Okinawa to be precise. It was back to finish where they started.
Okinawa Island
As soon as the super artificial arrived at Tokyo's outskirts, he found all six legendary warriors laid out in their human forms. Gallantmon was slowly making it to his feet despite injuries inflicted. Omega X was levitates from out of the newly made crater and charges forward. Rather than unleashing his trademark ki attacks, Omega X attempts a knee shot. Jax moves to the side at the last millisecond until Omega X brings an elbow forward and slams it against Jax's gut. The warrior gasps in shock once Jax knocks his arm away and kicks him the face. The artificial leaps forward and drives his foot into Omega X's face. The warrior is sent plummeting down into a rock ledge. He finds himself caved into the rock wall and struggles to break free.
"Damn! Hey, Jax! Is that the best you've got?!"
The super artificial phases in front of Omega X and puts his face against the warrior. He gave one small reply that said it all.
"No."
With that said, Jax unleashes a massive energy blast. The warrior of courage gets caught in the blast and is sent crashing through the rock ledge. The super artificial finds Gallantmon gliding towards him. Jax turns and fires out another energy blast. The crimson knight fights through the blast and slashes through it with his Invincible Swords.
"What's this?!"
"Ha! I caught you off guard, didn't I?!"
"On the contrary… I'm shocked that I have to end this sooner than I thought."
Super Artificial Jax brings his hands forward and fires out another 'Flash Bomber'. The blasts were able to overwhelm the crimson knight and send him plummeting down to where Omega X was laid out. Jax stops his relentless assault and snickers. The artificial immediately stops as he heard a sinister laughter coming from within the background. The source of the laughter was from none other than Dr. Myuumon.
"You see?! I told you so! Technology shall overcome all!" Dr. Myuumon cackled. "You three really thought you could have defeated my artificial?! My ultimate artificial? You are sadly mistaken! Now, Super Artificial Jax! It's time. Finish them off and leave no trace of their flesh!"
"Yes… No more flesh… Nothing left."
Super Artificial Jax brings his hands forward and a black sphere of negative energy materialized in his hand. The sphere enlarges as more power gathered.
Omega X chuckles to himself while Gallantmon could only look on with utter horror.
"You think this is funny, Tai?"
"Nah, but for some reason I always like to laugh at the face of death…"
"You really are a weird one, Tai…"
"Besides, I'm not even done yet. I… still have some reserves…"
"Just let me know when you're ready to use those reserves…"
"How are Takuya and the others?"
"From what I can make out, they're out cold… Damn, we're lucky to even remain conscious…"
The super artificial prepares to deliver the finishing blow to the fallen heroes. The sphere was merely seconds away from being launched and would catch both warriors in a destructive blast that will seal away their fates.
"Let them have it, Jax! Then we shall move on to kill the rest of their pathetic friends!"
"Say goodbye fools! It's back to hell you go!"
"I don't think so!" another voice calls out.
Everyone, including the super artificial, turns to find an overwhelming force soaring out from the heavens and landing a devastating punch against Jax's face. The super artificial is sent hurtling back across the skylines. Dr. Myuumon gasps in shock at the way his ultimate creation was easily swatted at the last second. He looks ahead to find Saber Veemon catching his breathe. The warriors were relieved to have been saved by one of their own.
"Davis?! Dorothy?!" Omega X said. "All right! You came!"
"You really saved our necks there, Saber Veemon!" Gallantmon cried out.
Saber Veemon maintained his sights on Super Artificial Jax and the sinister scientist. He wasn't the same cocky and carefree Davis that Tai can easily identify. Saber Veemon was fully determined and filled with unadulterated rage.
"Davis? Can he not hear us?" Gallantmon wondered.
"No… His heart is filled with rage and hatred. He had just lost his best friend and wife. He's not the same Davis we've grown up to love. He's going to go all out on these two bastards."
"Well, it looks like we have another guest! Somehow you look familiar, but… Ah! Are you that young man named Davis?! So, you and that blue butterball managed to merge into one being? There's something else different about you. There's two humans fused inside that creature. Tell me. Who are you really?"
There was no reply from the enraged, yet silent warrior. He shifts his focus onto Super Artificial Jax and growls deeply.
"Oh! That's the way! Show us your anger! Hate us like you've never hated us before!" Dr. Myuumon taunted the warrior.
"You! Hey, I'm talking to you!" Saber Veemon draws out the artificial's attention.
Super Artificial Jax brushes his long hair to the side and makes eye contact with Saber Veemon. The two now have their eyes locked on.
"You killed my best friend… Sonja barely managed to hang on… But you nearly took her life… Jax… I wanted to give you a chance… Remember me? I'm Davis Motomiya. Well he's apart of me to be more precise."
"Davis…? Yes, I remember you now…"
"We first met in the laboratory… You rebelled against Datamon…"
"Rebelled against Datamon… That I did…"
"Hey! Hey! Don't even pay attention to what this louse has to say! Finish him off so we can move on with our operation!" Dr. Myuumon blurted out.
The super artificial returned to reality and faced off with Saber Veemon.
"I wanted to give you a chance, Jax. But you've pushed the button! I'm going to kill you with my bare hands and I don't care if I end up killing himself to avenge their deaths. All I want is for you to die! ARGH!"
Saber Veemon puts his hands out and forms a pair of sabers in both of his hands. He brings himself forward and goes head on with Super Artificial Jax. The warrior strikes against Jax and slashes through his barrier. Dr. Myuumon looks on with utter disbelief. Even Omega X and Gallantmon were stunned beyond relief. Saber Veemon has managed to accomplish what the others had failed to do. He had succeeded in tearing through the super artificial's barrier.
"Now! I'm taking your ass down, Jax! You have met your maker!"
From out of nowhere, Saber Veemon has successfully managed to break through Super Artificial Jax's barrier! He has succeeded where Omega X, Susanoomon and Gallantmon have failed. Now can he avenge the death of his best friend, Ken Ichijouji? The battle has now escalated with high emotions! Has Saber Veemon reached a new level? Avenge your long time friend, Saber Veemon!

Ultima X is Unleashed! Super Artificial Jax Meets His End!
Okinawa Island
The super artificial returned to reality and faced off with Saber Veemon.
"I wanted to give you a chance, Jax. But you've pushed the button! I'm going to kill you with my bare hands and I don't care if I end up killing himself to avenge their deaths. All I want is for you to die! ARGH!"
Saber Veemon puts his hands out and forms a pair of sabers in both of his hands. He brings himself forward and goes head on with Super Artificial Jax. The warrior strikes against Jax and slashes through his barrier. Dr. Myuumon looks on with utter disbelief. Even Omega X and Gallantmon were stunned beyond relief. Saber Veemon has managed to accomplish what the others had failed to do. He had succeeded in tearing through the super artificial's barrier.
"Now! I'm taking your ass down, Jax! You have met your maker!"
Saber Veemon proceeds to inflict more damage on his adversary as he slashed him with his sword. The artificial was forced to dodge every sword slash. The warrior maintained his attack on the artificial without any hesitation to stop.
"My artificial! What do you think you're doing! Quit playing around!"
"Man, somebody ought to shut that doc up!" Gallantmon snapped.
"Easy, Gallantmon. This is Saber Veemon's battle. It's best that we stay out of this one."
"But, why?"
"Davis is hurting inside and I could feel him out. He wants to avenge the death of Ken. He deserves this chance to prove himself worthy."
"I see…"
"Just like we gave you a chance to prove yourself when you wiped out the D-Reaper."
"You have a point…"
"Yeah. You get it. C'mon, Davis. It's all on you now."
The relentless assault by Saber Veemon continues as he slashed at the super artificial with his saber. The warrior takes his sword and channels his energy through it. He screams out while leaping forward and stabbed his sword through the super artificial's right shoulder. Rather than screaming in agony, Jax began to absorb the energy through the sword and increases his own power even further.
"You idiot! Don't you realize that my artificial is an energy absorbing model! Even your puny sword will be no match for him!"
Saber Veemon removed the sword from out of the artificial and sheathes it. The energy absorbing artificial's body increased in mass while gathering the energy through his body.
"Big mistake! You should have asked for your friends to help you," Jax said. "I think that would be the wise choice. That is, unless you wish to die quickly."
"I… I… will not… die! I will not die!"
"Easy for you to say, fool."
"Jax! I said that I'm not going die!"
With that said, Saber Veemon flies out towards the super artificial and brings his fists forward. He summons every ounce of his strength through the fists and flies past the super artificial. This even caught Dr. Myuumon by surprise.
"What in the digi-world was that!" Dr. Myuumon panicked. "He moved so fast that not even I could trace him! Where did he manage to gain such a power? Super Artificial Jax! Trace him out!"
Complying with the doctor's orders, the super artificial scans the entire area where the battle previously had taken place. He managed to pick up a high frequency from above the heavens. From there, he picks up onto Saber Veemon's whereabouts.
"I've found you."
Jax brings his hands towards the skies and fires away another dose of his 'Flash Bomber'. The rain of blasts shot forward and nearly covered the whole skies. As the array of blasts covered the skies, Saber Veemon dodged each shot with great agility. He was lucky to have not been caught by the super artificial's deadly shots.
"I'm not going to lose! I won't die! This one's for Ken!"
"Come out! Come out wherever you are, Davis!"
Just as the super artificial was about to fire another 'Flash Bomber', he felt an overwhelming force make its presence felt behind him. Jax turns around and is met with a right hand by Saber Veemon. The warrior brings himself forward and hammers away at the artificial's chest. Each fist made their mark. He only used physical force and did not rely on an energy-based assault.
"If I keep this up, then I can put severe damage on this bastard! If I rely too much on energy techniques, he's simply going to absorb them!"
"Yeah! Keep it up, Saber Veemon!" Gallantmon cheers on.
Omega X kept his eyes onto the battlefield and watched every single attack Saber Veemon was inflicting on the artificial. He had noticed something wrong with the situation. It didn't seem like the artificial was being dealt with plenty of damage, as he already should.
"I see! Jax is barely blocking out Saber Veemon's fists at the last millisecond. No wonder he's not taking any damage. I know Davis is in rage, but he can't let his own anger blind him. He's not being completely focused. If only I could intervene, but I want Davis to figure this out on his own."
Saber Veemon immediately took notice of his attacks not putting damage to his opponent. Omega X was right. The attacks were not making their mark on the super artificial. Jax had his hands out to block off each fists repeatedly.
"Damn… So you saw through to my attacks ahead of time, didn't you? I won't give up! I will not let you defeat me!"
"Ha! You still don't get it do you!" Dr. Myuumon cackled. "You fool. My artificial has an unlimited amount of energy. There's no way you can even hurt him. You might as well give up."
"No. I never give up… I maybe losing fatigue, but I'm not about to quit! I'm not going to quit on Sonja… I'm not going to quit on Ken! You two are going to die! I'll see to it!"
"Idle threats from a lower life form," the Tufflesurian scientist said. "Super Artificial Jax! It's time to finish this!"
"No! I have one last thing before I end this! Jax! If it comes down to me dying, then I'm taking you with me!"
"What's that fool on! Surely he can't mean sacrificing himself to avenge two worthless souls."
"They are NOT worthless! You two are finished and that's all I have to say! Jax! I'm going to blow your ass up!"
The super artificial was a bit taken back by the warrior's idle threats and felt his power increasing at an extraordinary rate. He was prepared to meet his possible end at the hands of Saber Veemon.
Hypnos HQ
The Hypnos team was watching a surveillance camera view from Okinawa Air Force base. They had watched the battle unfold with the super artificial. Max and Keke were on the edge of their seats to watch Saber Veemon go on the offensive.
"Go, Saber Veemon! You've got him all worked up now!" Max said.
"Uncle Tai and Takato are just standing there. Why aren't they helping him?" Max wondered.
"Probably so Davis can defeat that monster by himself," Izzy said. "That's my assumption at least…"
"This is way too mind boggling. Here I thought the D-Reaper battle was off the page, but this completely has taken to a new level," Riley stated.
"You're not kidding. It's a good thing that they're not fighting too close to the Air Force base," Talley said. "They're getting awfully close to it."
"I'm sure everything will be fine. The Air Force will know to avoid this kind of situation," Yamaki informed his team.
Suddenly, Izzy caught a glimpse of Kyoto through a monitor and gasped in shock.
"Everyone! Take a look at this! You're not going to believe this!"
"What is it, Izzy?" Yamaki asked.
"It's… It's Kyoto!"
"Oh my! It's practically underwater!" Tentomon said. "What could have caused this? I don't recall there being rain there."
"There wasn't supposed to be rain. Take a look at this! It's not just Kyoto but also other parts of the globe! London, San Francisco, Sydney and Rio De Janeiro are other cities flooded underwater!"
"Unbelievable! What could have caused this!" Talley wondered.
"My god! My family live Kyoto!" Riley said with sadness. "I just hope that they made it out of there."
"I'm sure they did," replied Yamaki.
"Why didn't you tell us any of this, Izzy?" Max asked. "We could have gotten to the bottom of this!'
"I wasn't aware since we were paying attention to the super artificial problem."
"This is terrible. There's no way that this could have been natural," said Keke. "What could have caused this?"
"We don't know, but I'm going to try to get to the bottom of it. I'm going to contact Gennai and X. You guys give me play by play on the fight."
"Will do, Izzy," Max said. "You e-mail them as soon as possible. We'll tell you everything that's happened with Saber Veemon."
"I just hope he takes care of that creep so we can focus on this problem," Talley said.
"I know. I just wish that we would have never faced this problem," Izzy said. "Now, time to send out those e-mails."
Okinawa Island
Super Artificial Jax forms another black sphere and fires it over towards Saber Veemon. Gallantmon calls out to warn him, but Omega X held him back. As the sphere came closer towards Saber Veemon, he managed to phase away. This caught Jax off guard for the moment until Saber Veemon latched himself onto the super artificial. He wrapped his arms around Jax and held him tightly in a vice grip.
"No! What are you doing! You don't intend to go through with this!" Jax exclaimed.
Dr. Myuumon looks on with concern on his face. He couldn't believe that Saber Veemon had managed to catch the super artificial completely off of his guard.
"So you still have that much power left do you?"
"Hey, Jax. Don't you realize that you're the idiot?" Saber Veemon said. "You raised the level of that sound and you couldn't pick up onto the vibrations of my movement."
"Yep. He's right," Omega X said.
"He is? So he knew what he was doing?" asked Gallantmon.
"You hit the nail on the head, kid."
"Now you can't attack me or shoot any energy blasts since I have you in this hold!" Saber Veemon. "Sucks to be you. Huh, Jax?"
"Yes, but you're forgetting something, Saber Veemon," said Dr. Myuumon. "You can't attack either in that position. You just screwed yourself over. Ah! No! Unless, you can't mean…"
"Unless I'm willing to die with him!" Saber Veemon announced his plan.
"Davis! No! You can't!" exclaimed Gallantmon. "You can't throw your own life away!"
"Takato! Stay back!"
"Why the hell should I? He's nuts if he thinks he can take his own life away!"
"Just wait this one out. Trust me."
"But…"
"Davis might be foolish, but don't forget. Dorothy is there within him, too. I'm willing to bet she knows what she's doing."
"So, this is actually her plan?"
"Just watch…"
"You… You wouldn't dare would you!" Dr. Myuumon asked. "You're a bigger idiot than I thought!"
"Sure. Believe me. I'm no fan of dying. But, if that's the only way to stop you from hurting and killing anymore people, then I'll do it!"
Dr. Myuumon fell to his knees as he suddenly felt defeat looming in the horizon of his future. His ultimate artificial would now be done in just as Bebimon was defeated before.
"No! Let go of me! Do you hear me!" Jax screams out. "Have you gone insane!"
"Oh! What's the matter! You only want to play this damn game if you're winning, is that it!"
"NO! LET ME GO!"
"KEN! SONJA! THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!"
"STOP THIS!"
"JAX! I WON'T LET YOU KILL ANYMORE!"
With that said, Saber Veemon's body started to set off a flash of white light. Energy from around the surroundings gathers as the two were drawn into a massive sphere of light. Omega X pushes Gallantmon to the side and ducks under. Dr. Myuumon cries out in horror at the sight of his creation being caught in the exploding mass of light. Nearly half of the entire island was quickly being engulfed by the exploding light mass.
Okinawa was not the only place within the world to feel the effects of the explosion. The force of the explosion caused tremors to erupt throughout parts of the eastern regions of the globe. This included all of Japan.
Everyone else in Shinjuku and Tokyo felt the overwhelming mass of power. Mystic Celesta looks out and gasps in horror.
"What is it, Kari!" War Angemon said.
"It's Davis… I think we just lost him. Damn it, no!"
"Davis!"
As soon as the explosion calmed down, there was nothing left of the battlefield but a large crater in the middle of a devastated island. A newly made crater had formed to where the explosion was set off. Omega X crawls out from under the debris and turned to find Takato lying with Guilmon.
"Damn! You just got knocked out of your form already! Oh! And the others!"
The warrior scanned the area to find traces of the legendary warriors. He picked up on their energy signals and lets out a sigh of relief. He looks ahead to find Mega Veemon lying on the ground with Dorothy at his side.
"Oh! Thank god you two are all right! So, I guess we won?"
"Probably so," Mega Veemon muttered. "At least, we're alive… Finally, I've avenged Ken…"
Meanwhile, Dr. Myuumon emerges out from underneath a pile of debris on the outside of the crater. He looks ahead and gasped at the size of the crater. He couldn't find any traces of Super Artificial Jax.
"I can't believe it. All of my hard work to build that machine… went down the drain. Damn! It was all for nothing!"
The heroes' celebration was short-lived because a column of yellow light came shooting out from the ocean. Omega X looks up ahead to find the yellow light column rising out from the ocean's depths.
"No… It can't be…"
"I should have know this would happen," Mega Veemon chuckled. "That bastard… is still alive…"
"You're kidding me!" Omega X exclaimed. "That gamble was all for nothing!"
"Yeah…"
As soon as the light died off, Super Artificial Jax emerges out with his clothes battered and torn from the explosion. Dr. Myuumon laughs with delight at the sight of his artificial.
"Yes! You're alive! Ha! Ha!" the Tufflesurian scientist cheered. "Yes! That's the way! Incredible! That fool played his best card and you trumped him!"
"Yes, that was indeed pretty dangerous," Jax directs his attention to a fallen Mega Veemon. "If I had been a little later in raising my barrier, I would have been completely done in."
"Oh? Is that right?" asked Mega Veemon. "Then I've done something regrettable."
"Oh, Davis," Omega X muttered.
"I just wish we both could have died and be sent to limbo," Mega Veemon continues on.
"Well, I can make half of your wish come true," the artificial replied.
As soon as he said that, the super artificial puts his hands out and quickly forms his dark sphere. The fallen warriors look on with hopeless grins on their faces. They couldn't even move let alone implement another attack.
"Half, huh? I guess we're in no position to bargain," Omega X said.
"Tai? Was that even necessary?"
"No, but it eventually had to come down to this… Moving our bodies now is completely out of the question."
Super Artificial Jax prepared to launch the dark sphere at the fallen warriors. It grew larger at an extraordinary rate. Dr. Myuumon cackled at the sight of his enemies lying helpless.
"Oh no! Trust me, boys! I'm not going to miss my mark on this one! Davis! Taichi! It ends now!"
"Hold it right there, Jax!" a feminine voice calls out.
Everyone stopped to turn around to find the source of the voice. Super Artificial Jax maintained his dark sphere but looked up to find a raven-haired woman levitating down into the crater. Her clothes were torn and she was nearly half naked. Mega Veemon looks on with relief.
"Sonja! You made it!" Mega Veemon calls out.
"Damn… for an artificial, she's not bad looking," Omega X commented. "You're a lucky one, Davis…"
"That's my wife!"
Jax gasped at the sight of his older sister.
"Sister! What are you doing here! Get out of the way!"
The female snorted and lands down in front of the fallen warriors. She officially made her stance against her brother.
"Sonja! Please! Don't get yourself involved in this!" Mega Veemon begged. "I don't want you to get hurt! I nearly lost you!"
Sonja merely looks over her shoulder and gives her husband a smile.
"I think she knows what's she's doing, Davis," Omega X stated. "That's her brother. Besides, I'm sure she can talk him right out of it."
"I hope so…"
"Brother! How dare… How dare you do that to Ken! How dare you take the life of my husband's best friend! Our best friend!"
"So I was right," Omega X said. "Why did it have to be him of all people!"
"Because this guy is a filthy scumbag! He's no brother-in-law I want to have!"
"I can't even look at you and consider you my brother anymore!" Sonja snapped. "You sicken me! You're half of what you were before!"
"Oh! Oh, now my sister speaks out against her own brother!" Jax taunted his sibling. "I'm twice as strong now!"
"Strength is one thing, but character is another! The Jax I knew was not a cold-blooded murderer! You were modeled to terminate Taichi but you never gave pleasure in killing innocent lives. You overcame Datamon's programming! You were so strong-willed and independent! I… I even looked up to you! But, look at you now… If you wish to kill husband, my Taichi, and myself then go right ahead! You forget that I have an explosive in my body! Know what that means!"
This immediately brought to both warriors' attentions. Omega X remembered when he and the Digi-Destined had wished for the explosive devices to be removed from the artificials' bodies.
"Davis. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"You bet."
"That's right. Only Jax doesn't know any of this. We had asked Azulongmon to use his digicores to wish the explosive devices out of the artificials' bodies after Kari defeated Virus. When we told Sonja of this, she was relieved. Unfortunately, Jax doesn't know about this. Sonja is only playing a ruse to scare her brother."
"That's right, Tai. She's bluffing him," Mega Veemon whispered.
"C'mon, Jax! Go right ahead and blow us all up! We'll die together!"
"You tell him, girl! That's the spunky woman I grew to love!" Mega Veemon said in thought.
"What are you waiting for, you coward!" the female taunted the super artificial. "Are you too scared to die? If you're going to do it, then get it over with!"
With that said, Sonja rips off half of her blouse to reveal not just the spot where her explosive device was once planted but her right breast covered in a black bra.
"DAMN! Does she do that for you every night, Davis! Please, say yes!"
"You bet she does! Umm… Hey! Let's get serious here, Tai!"
"Heh. Sure, I couldn't resist…"
"You are a pervert, Tai. I'm going tell Sora about this."
"Please don't! I'll be good!"
Super Artificial Jax found himself in a tight struggle while holding out his dark sphere. It was either shoot out his blast or risk killing himself in the process.
"C'mon, baby bro. Do it! Why not? Destroy the only person who ever gave a damn about you!"
"I… I…"
"I don't even respect you anymore, dear brother. You can't even attack me. Weak-minded fool… I knew you were always a coward."
"Sister…"
"You can't even make your own decisions! Some sick-twisted doctor has to make them for you!" Sonja bluntly stated. "What a poser you turned out to be!"
"Sonja. Take it easy. He's struggling inside," Omega X whispered. "If you continue on like this, then he will snap."
Just as Tai had assumed, Super Artificial Jax was indeed in an inner struggle between himself and Hell Fighter.
"What are you waiting for!" Dr. Myuumon cries out. "Can't you see that she's trying to manipulate you! That little bomb couldn't really cause that much serious damage! Don't be scared of something that can't hurt you!"
"I'm not scared of anything, Dr. Myuumon!"
"That's it! Now finish them off! Show those Digi-Destined fools who you really are! Destroy that artificial reject that you can't be manipulated or controlled!"
Suddenly, this caused Super Artificial Jax to turn around and directs his attack onto the Tufflesurian scientist.
"That's right, doctor! Nobody controls me!"
The super artificial sends out the attack directly towards Dr. Myuumon. The doctor screams out in horror as he was completely engulfed by the blast and incinerated in the process. In other words, Dr. Myuumon had now been completely OWNED by his ultimate artificial. As the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of Dr. Myuumon.
Super Artificial Jax directs his attention back on his older sibling and creates another dark sphere.
"Now! Let's see who the real coward is, sister!"
"Well, I have to give to you after all. You managed to see through that doctor. There just might be some hope, Jax," the female replied. "It's a shame it has to come down to us fighting."
Sonja puts her hands out and unleashes a fury of blasts towards the super artificial. Jax cancels out his dark sphere and quickly began to absorb the blasts into his body. He was gaining more power after each blast being absorbed. Unfortunately, she wasn't aware of her brother's newly developed defenses. Yet, she didn't really seem to care since she can continue firing away with an unlimited supply of energy.
"Babe! It's not working! He's absorbing your power! You can't beat him like this!" Mega Veemon calls out.
"I have to at least try! He killed Ken! Our best friend is dead, Davis! Yolei is suffering and I can't let Jax cause others to suffer!"
"But, your energy blasts are only making this bastard stronger!"
"I can't stop now! If I stop at the position I'm in, I'll die…"
"I know what's doing on," Omega X said.
"Do tell."
"You see what Jax is doing. He has to assume that pose in order to absorb energy."
"I get it! As he's absorbing her blasts, he's leaving himself wide open!"
"Wow, you're a fast one, but you get the picture. He's vulnerable! Now, Davis! I want you to attack head on!"
"What? Me?"
"Yes! Your wife is out there taking Jax with everything she has. She's doing this not just for Ken but also for you! Lend her a hand."
As soon as Mega Veemon turns his attention back onto the battlefield, he noticed Jax cackling with his barrier absorbing Sonja's blasts.
(Play Digimon Tamers Ultimate Evolution theme One Vision during current sequence)
"Sonja… You're doing this for me…? And for Ken? All right then! It's time to avenge our friend's death! This one's for you, Ken!"
Just as Mega Veemon was about to charge out into battle, his body began to illuminate a bright aura of light. Omega X stood back as the aura around Mega Veemon was growing brighter.
"What… What's happening? My power is suddenly growing?"
"It's your love for your wife, Davis. You and Sonja have a strong bond. But it's also your need to avenge Ken. Your love is overcoming your hatred, Davis," Omega X said. "So, how does it feel? You're set to undergo an evolution to the next level."
"The next level?"
"That's right. Now give him hell!"
"I will and I intend to!"
As Mega Veemon takes off into the battle, he started to undergo a transformation into his final evolution form. Sonja continued her assault on Super Artificial Jax.
"Yes! Give it everything you've got, Sonja!"
"JAX! YOU'RE THROUGH! Mega Veemon! Mode Change!"
The fused warrior underwent his transformation with everyone looking on. His body became encased in white armor similar to Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. His arms and legs became built for battle with claws scathed out. His face was covered in armor and encased with a visor over his eyes. An enormous sword blade materialized in front of the warrior. He takes it and unsheathes the sword to reveal a long-tipped blade. On his back was a pair of glider wings that were longer in wingspan than an albatross. The new Mega Veemon's form was streaking with streaks of lighting.
"Ultima X!"
Omega X and Sonja looked on with sheer amazement at the sight they were looking at. Ultima X flies out from his evolution shell and was quite a magnificent sight to behold. He came straight for the vulnerable super artificial. He takes his blade forward and spins himself into a tornado.
"THIS ONE'S FOR KEN!"
"What is this!" the super artificial exclaimed.
"HYPER TORNADO BLADE!"
With that said, Ultima X spun himself with great velocity and speed. He quickly plows through Jax's barrier and rams himself right through Jax's chest. The artificial lets out a gasp as Ultima X reappears on the other side with his blade intact. He had created a gaping hole right in the middle of Jax's chest. Sonja stopped her assault and sighs happily.
"Davis… You're incredible…"
"ACK! My… My chest… You bastard…"
"I'm not through with you, Jax! Turn your ass around!"
The artificial turns around to face the newly evolved warrior and curses him out.
"ULTIMA-"
"Idiot! Haven't you figured it out yet! That will only make me stronger!"
"I don't think so! ULTIMA BLAST!"
Ultima X unleashes a powerful wave of energy, which was a much powerful version of Omega X's Terra Beam. The blast penetrates through Jax's chest and caused the hole to grow bigger. Ultima repeatedly shots the same attack through his enemy's chest. Jax screams out as his body disintegrated within the blasts.
"Yes… We did it… Davis… We've avenged Ken…"
(End theme)
Sonja collapses on the ground. However, Omega X was there to prevent her fall. The last traces of Jax's super artificial form was dissipating into dust. Ultima X came levitating down to sheath his blade.
"Your death has been avenged my friend."
"Davis…!"
Ultima X turns around and finds Sonja slowly walking towards him. She embraces the warrior tightly and cries onto his chest. For the first time ever, the once cold artificial woman was crying and displaying weakness to her husband like any other woman would.
"He's gone… He's really gone…"
"It's over, Sonja… We've won together…"
"I can't believe we killed my own brother…"
As the couple embraced tighter, Omega X looks around the mess created by the artificial and revives Takato.
"Hey, kid… We did it. We've won…"
"We did…? That's a relief…"
"You should have seen Davis. He was awesome out there."
Davis saved the day…? Man, who would have thought…?"
"I knew he could do it. Come on. Let's go. Takuya and the others need to be revived."
"Right!"
Outskirts of Tokyo
Metalla X looks out towards the heavens and felt Ultima X's power. Every other digimon could feel out the increase of strength that Davis underwent.
"Matt. Did you feel that?" War Angemon asked.
"I did. Now, Davis has become reached the pinnacles of greatness," replied Metalla X.
"Davis. I'm so proud of you," Mystic Celesta said. "Though, it did take you long enough."
"Davis. You did it my friend," Pikkan said.
"The threat is finally over," stated Cyberleomon.
"Now we can go home and celebrate!" Tike cheered.
"Not yet. We have to borrow the four digicores right away," said Mystic Celesta. "We have a world to fix and friends to restore. Ken is waiting for us to revive him."
"You're right. There can't be a celebration without him or Sonja," said War Angemon. "Let's get those digicores!"
Davis. Tai. Takato. You guys did it," Metalla X thought. "But, next time… I'm not going to miss out on the fun."
"Calumon? What's wrong?" Jeri asked. "You, guys! Something is wrong with Calumon."
"What is it?" Kara asked.
"He said that he was feeling a weird vibe coming from Odaiba."
"Odaiba! We have to get there right away," Mystic Celesta said. "If what he says is true, then there has to be something wrong."
"All right. Now that everyone has been revived, I say we take off and investigate the situation," Pikkan stated. "Calumon's definitely telling the truth. I'm feeling a wicked vibe from Tai's home city."
"And here I thought that super robot was the last thing we needed," Beelzebumon snorted. "Now this? Can't we catch a break?"
"No time to chit chat! Let's get going right away!" Metalla X announced.
Okinawa Island
Ultima X and Sonja were both looking out into the ocean as everyone else at the battle site were revived. Omega X walks over to the couple and listens to their conversation.
"Sonja… Please try to calm down, babe…"
"You don't understand, Davis… How could he do it? I'm his twin sister. Why would he kill our best friend?"
"That's because he wasn't really your brother," Omega X implied. "He was used by Datamon and Dr. Myuumon. He was the victim here. Those two creeps were controlled by their damn ambitions. Want to know something I found out? I think he was trying to help you?"
"Help… me…?"
"There was no need to start powering up out of frustration. All he had to do was keep absorbing your energy."
"What? So it was a mistake on my part?" Ultima X said.
"No, you had to do what you had to do, Davis. Don't blame yourself. You didn't commit a murder."
"So… That's what I sensed then!" Sonja blurted out. "He forced that creature into making a mistake that would have sealed his fate. He was showing us where he weakness was! Wasn't he?"
"I'd like to think so. He did have some control," said Omega X. "Otherwise, he would have never turned on Dr. Myuumon."
"So…"
"There was definitely a struggle going on, and it's highly possible that your brother won."
"My brother won…?"
"Well, I'll be damned…"
"It's true."
"Thank you, Taichi. You don't know how much that means to me," Sonja said. "Davis… Isn't this wonderful!"
"Yeah. It sure is. It's possible Ken could have helped him in spirit."
"You're right."
Sonja looks out into the open sea and sheds a tear. An image of her brother crossed her mind.
"I bet Ken is very happy about your victory, you two," Omega X said. "I'm sure he's ready to be revived again! What do you think?"
"Now you're talking, Tai! I'm sure Azulongmon will be more than happy to let us borrow the digicores," said Ultima X. "What do you say, Sonja?"
"That would make Yolei happier. It would make us happy."
"Good. Now that we have everything covered. What do you say we get back home?"
"Hey, Tai! There's an urgent situation!" Takato calls out.
"What kind of situation? Don't tell me that there's still some escapees from limbo."
"Worse than that. Izzy just called me up and told me about cataclysmic worldwide disasters. Old volcanoes are starting to erupt. Earthquakes are reported across the planet."
"Yeah and there's worldwide flooding!" Aguimon continued on.
"It's got to be that interdimensional doorway they opened up," Dorothy said. "It must have upset the natural balance!"
"Not only that but there's a situation in Odaiba," said Kazemon. "More specifically… Highton View Terrance!"
"Highton View Terrance! That sure brings back a lot of memory," Omega X said.
"Max, Kari and everyone else is there. They've told me that the digicores are cracked!"
"Is that right, Takato! How did the digicores end up being cracked? Who brought them here? Well, guys. We'll just have to check this out for ourselves. Everyone grab onto me. I'll teleport us there right away."
As soon as he said that, the team placed their hands onto Omega X and he used his 'Time Warp' teleportation technique to transport them to Highton View Terrance.
Highton View Terrance
Just in the nick of time, Omega X and the team arrived at the site. He looks across the bridge where he and Kari got a glimpse of their first digimon many moons ago.
"Geez, this place still has that cryptic feeling," said Omega X.
"Tai! Over here!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
With everyone gathered around, the digicores were quickly cracking and emitting a black fog. Omega X looks on with worry and feels an evil ki emitting from the digicores.
"You guys! Get back! There's a sinister ki coming from these cores!"
"What, but these are Azulongmon's digicores! They've always been sued on our side," War Angemon said.
"He's right! I hate to admit it but someone is responsible for this!" Metalla X stated.
"But who could have done this!" Takato wondered.
"I'm the one responsible for this, fools…"
The team immediately turned their attention over towards the street to find Cyberdramon slowly approaching them. He held an unconscious Ryo in his grasp and drops him down.
"Cyberdramon! Ryo!" Rika calls out.
"There's something strange about Cyberdramon. I'm sensing a great evil in him," said Renamon.
"What is going on here!" Max cried out. "This is driving me nuts!"
"So, at last we meet again, Digi-Destined," Cyberdramon spoke in sinister voice. "You thought you'd never see me again?"
"What is he on?" Terriermon asked.
"Hey! Who are you! You're obviously not Cyberdramon! Identify yourself!" Omega X demanded.
"Sorry for my rude behavior… Allow me to reintroduce myself…"
"But we don't even know you!" exclaimed Sora.
"Mimi. I don't like the looks of this!" Palmon said with fright.
"I know. This is creeping me out."
Cyberdramon stepped forward and unleashes a dark force from out of his body. A thick black smoke forms over the fallen dragon digimon and takes the shape of a dragon-like creature with red glowing eyes. The creature was cackling a deep laughter while setting his sights on the fusion warriors. His form was actually shapeless with no distinct feature. He was merely a shadowy creature that has a ki filled with evil.
Suddenly, the digicores started to react towards the shadow creature and flew out around his body. One by one, the orbs started to become purely black.
"What the hell are you! What do you want with the digicores! More specifically, what do you want with us!" Omega X demanded.
"I am Millenniumon! I see you are the alternate versions of the same Digi-Destined I have kidnapped!"
"Millenniumon!" Mystic Celesta said. "The darkness… It's too overwhelming to bear!"
"Ah, yes. These are the precious digicores. I've managed to steal them away from that fool, Azulongmon. I've poisoned them with my evil essence. You won't have a chance to revive Ichijouji!"
"You bastard! Give us those digicores!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"I'm afraid I can't! With these four digicores, I'll split three of them to create seven monsters. I shall disperse my essence through each monster and have them help build a tunnel to open up the doorway to the Dark Dimension! The Synisters shall be unleashed to destroy this human infestation!"
"A tunnel! Synisters!" Omega X said. "Man, I'd thought we'd have everything under control! I've been totally off of my game…"
With everyone distracted by the ghostly sight of Millenniumon, the mysterious human looks on from on top of a roof with a grin.
"Finally, phase one has been complete. Those incompetent doctors and their artificial toy have done their job. At last, the judgment of all humans shall begin. Millenniumon. We shall set you and the Synisters free to finish this retched planet off."
As soon as he said that, the human walks off across the rooftop. His face his revealed to be mature and his hair is slicked back. He stops as he came across another sinister figure. This one had eyes that looked as if they were possessed by a demon. His hair was spiked up and he looked about thirteen years of age.
"Ah, Neo Saiba. It's good to see you. How's the tunnel coming along?"
"We still need time, Saitou. We need the perfect weapon to cut through the barrier."
"Time is not we have left. Millenniumon is set to transfer his essence through the digicores to create the seven monsters. They will help us through. Eventually, we'll find the one warrior with the power to break through the barrier into the Dark Dimension. Neo. Gather up the Alias 3. The time has come to proceed with phase two: the opening of the tunnel to the Dark Dimension."
Neo replies with a nod to the mysterious human now identified as Saitou.
With the super artificial defeated, our heroes come across a new threat like they've never see before. The shadowy creature, known as Millenniumon, has taken the four digicores and is bent on creating seven monsters. At the same time, a sinister figure revealed as Saitou has called forth another human named Neo Saiba. What do they and Millenniumon intend on doing to this tunnel? What are these Syinsters? Is the death of humanity on the horizon?

But don't worry even if my series ends, you still have Max Acorn's D-3 series to rely on. Now, without further ado, let us get started on the final saga! Chapter one is ready to be read. Enjoy!
Last time on Digimon Fusion, Super Artificial Jax was beaten by Ultima X, the newly fused warrior of Davis and Veemon. But the Earth itself was undergoing instabilities and natural disasters were occurring all across the globe. It was that time to once again summon Azulongmon's Digi-Cores to fix the damage.
However, it was soon realized that the Digi-Cores were cracked. Was it a bad omen? Yes! Once the Digi-Cores were summoned, Cyberdramon made a surprise appearance and shocked the Digi-Destined teams. A dark presence emerged out of Cyberdramon and manifested himself into the evil, dark god himself- Millenniumon! The beast was hiding within Cyberdramon and has sought interest in Taichi's group ever since the D-Reaper fiasco. It's been nearly five years since then.
But, Millenniumon has had a run-in with the Digi-Destined and claims to have quarrel with them in another time.
However, Millenniumon wasn't the only danger lurking in the darkness. Looking on from a distance was the sight of a sinister human with a heart of wickedness. He is identified as Saitou, but who is this human? Are he and Millenniumon in cahoots of this conflict? Now, Saitou has recruited a boy named Neo Saiba, but what do these evil humans have in store for our heroes? And what about this tunnel to the Dark Dimension?

The Real Enemy Revealed! The Opening to the Synister Dimension To be Opened!
Highton View Terrance
The site where the first digimon emerged into the real world is Highton View Terrance. This was the site where the children known as the Digi-Destined witnessed the first digimon clash in a struggle. It's been nearly two decades since that event and now… Those same humans along with the newer generations have gathered to face off with the dark god himself, Millenniumon.
Millenniumon has been lurking within Cyberdramon for many years. Ever since he saw Taichi transform into Omega X, he has sought interest in challenging the warrior's might. Now, this could be this one opportunity to realize his wishes.
Standing out amongst the group was Omega X himself. He steps forward and points out towards the shadow creature.
"Just what do you want with us?! What reason do you have for being here? Answer me now!"
"That creep has just prevented us from wishing Ken back to life!" Ultima X cursed. "I say we flatten this bastard!"
"How? When we don't even know what he's truly capable of?" Mimi wondered.
"The darkness… It's overwhelming," Celesta X said as she shivered from the dark presence.
"It's all right. We're together and there's nothing that he can do to beat us together," War Angemon assured the female.
"Hey! Didn't you hear me?! What do you want with us?!" Omega X calls out. "You better restore our Digi-Cores!"
However, Millenniumon was not threatened in any manner and merely cackled in a sinister laugh. The digimon and children stood their ground while the warriors shielded them.
"Aww, how touched I am by your little threats, Taichi. You haven't changed a bit!"
"Look! I don't see how we could have met! You're mistaken me for someone else! I haven't even met you before!"
"Oh, but I can assure you. We have met before, at least in another time and dimension."
"Wait, there's another me? Well, it's not as if time travel is anything new to me…"
"You're forgetting that the future version of my son used time travel to get here. So, it makes sense. These are many versions of ourselves. Haven't you thought of that already?" Metalla X stated.
"Actually, no…"
"Ugh, you are an idiot…"
"Ah, yes, you must be referring to your son, Yamato!" Millenniumon spoke out. "Dimitri, am I right?!"
"What do you know about our son?! If you did anything to him, you'll be sorry!" Mimi threatened the dark god.
"Mimi! Calm down! He'll kill you if you speak out like that," Sora calmed the angry woman.
"Oh, I assure you, Mimi. I did more than just do anything to poor Dimitri. I killed the poor lad myself!"
This startling announcement brought shock and discomfort amongst the older Digi-Destined. Most heartbroken were Metalla X and Mimi. Their son from the future period was slain after many long years of fighting the arificials from an alternate time period. Metalla X growled angrily while cursing the dark god. On the other hand, Mimi was down on her knees and began to tear up. The present version of her son was still alive, but the future Dimitri who helped the Digi-Destined battle the artificials was pronounced dead.
"No! Dimitri?! He killed my future son?!" Mimi cried in thought.
"You son of a bitch! That was my son you've just murdered!" Metalla X calls out.
As soon as he screamed out, Metalla X takes off towards Millenniumon with a heart filled with vengeance and rage. The warriors tried to stop him before the situation would have gotten out of hand. Millenniumon calmly maneuvered away from Metalla X's charge.
Metalla X turns around and fires away a devastating ki blast. The dark god quickly reacts in time and cancels it out with a single claw swipe. The warrior maintained his assault and thrashed the dark god with an array of shots.
"MATT! That's enough!" Omega X cries out.
"NO! HE KILLED MY SON!"
"Be silent, you fool!"
Millenniumon immediately froze Metalla X in place and sealed him inside of a crystal chamber. The warrior's blasts couldn't even break through.
"Stupid Yamato… Taichi and I were just going to be reacquainted. Now, where were we… Ah, yes. Before arriving here, I made a quick stop to the future alternate time of this world and destroyed its hero, Dimitri Ishida. He was easy pickings for me since his world was in a time of peaceful and I easily purged his world into darkness. You see. I've been keeping a close eye on you for these past five years, Taichi. Ever since your war with the D-Reaper, I've been hiding within Cyberdramon and gaining more information on you as udnercover."
"So I've been under surveillance for all of this time? Man, I always attract you damn psychos."
"Indeed. One hero down and another to go. However, you are far different from Dimitri. Your power has grown to extraordinary heights. Even all of these fools can't comprehend what you're truly capable of. Not even Yamato can dare say that he can stand a chance against the likes of you. I, on the other hand, wish to challenge your power."
Omega X looks over to a sobbing Mimi and then over to Matt. He couldn't stand to see such pain and suffering amongst his loved ones. He was infuriated by the startling revelation of Dimitri's demise. However, Omega X was very interested by Millenniumon's challenge.
"What's in it for you?"
"I myself am not at full power yet I sealed Yamato inside this chamber. Even that couldn't contain you. However, I wish to take these four Digi-Cores and put them to good use. With these items, I shall transfer my power through them and create seven monsters. Each one of shall possess my dark power and inherit strength that you couldn't even comprehend."
"Seven monsters? Don't tell me we'll have to fight seven crazy whackos like this guy?!" Terriermon asked.
"Tai! Don't let him do it! Let's just finish him right now! He's the cause of the Earth's misfortunes. If he let him live, then he's only to cause more damage," Takato said.
"He brings up a good point," replied Agunimon. "You're way in over your head if you let him go!"
"Please, listen to reason and don't let this over cloud your judgment," Sora reassured her husband.
"No way! You can beat this creep alone!" Max said. "I believe in you, dad!"
"If you need some backup, I'm right here for you, Tai," Ultima X replied.
"Hey, thanks, but I think I should just give in. Yeah. Hey, Millenniumon! Sure, go ahead and do as you please!"
"Tai! All right, you've completely lost it!" Rika cries out.
"Maybe we ought to rearrange his head!" Beetlemon suggested.
"Oh, Taichi! I knew you'd give into my demands! But, you still fail to realize that the seven monsters will help to open a tunnel into the Dark Dimension. You've just doomed your own planet. The Synisters shall be unleashed on this human infestation and everyone you love shall die."
"It's a risk I'm willing to take. As long as I'm here and I have everyone by my side, I'll bring you down myself. I guess you never watched my battles closely. Burizalor, Virus, D-Reaper, Bebimon and now Super Artificial Jax… They were beaten by us and you're next on the list."
"Maybe so, but I myself shall not fail… What you do not realize is that I have allies on my side to ensure that our plan is a success."
"Who exactly is helping you?!" Izzy asked.
"You will find that out for yourselves soon, Digi-Destined. But, let me get started by taking these precious Digi-Cores. I shall then transfer my essence through each of them. Pay close attention."
As soon as he finished his small speech, Millenniumon looks down at the four Digi-Cores. His eyes glow with a horrifying crimson glow. One by one, the four Digi-Cores levitated from the ground and encircled the dark god. Three of the Digi-Cores cracked open and split into six halves. The warriors attempted to make a move to prevent Millenniumon from absorbing, but Omega X made a stop to prevent them attacking.
"Tai! Let us through!" War Angemon snapped.
"He's absorbing and cracking the Digi-Cores! Now we can't bring Ken back and everyone killed by the monsters!" Ultima X cried out.
"Relax. I know what I'm doing," Omega X assured his friends.
"I hope you're right, big brother," Celesta X said in thought.
Millenniumon gathers the six pieces and assimilated them into his body. The last whole orb was swallowed through his mouth. Millenniumon looks up towards the heavens and takes off.
"Now, I shall split himself into seven monsters through the power of these Digi-Cores. These monsters will be prepared to attack many parts of the globe in hopes of finding the tunnel. All you have to do is stop them, but be forewarned… I will not be your only enemy. There just maybe one among your human race that is helping me find the tunnel."
"Another human? I wonder who…" Takato said.
Finally, Millenniumon's shadow form exploded and separated himself into seven shadow creatures. Each one took on the forms of black dragons with Digi-Cores on their foreheads. They all flew across the heavens and sent themselves across the globe.
"They've separated themselves!" cried Kazemon.
"Damn! Now we have seven of those monsters to worry about?!" Metalla X cursed.
"Thanks a lot, Tai. Now we have a real mess to clean up," War Angemon said.
"Don't worry. We will get to the bottom of this. I want to know a little more about this tunnel," Omega X stated. "I'm curious. Besides, he even said himself that he has allies. One of them is human…"
"Look. We know you're curious, but you don't realize what you have done!" Pikkan snapped. "With the Digital Cores at his disposal, there's no telling how much power this Millenniumon would have gained!"
"Wait, he did mention that he knows us," replied Sora. "I wonder… Which time and dimension is he referring to?"
As soon as everyone gathered around, the crystallized barrier that kept Metalla X in captivity powered down. The enraged warrior emerged and looked around for the dark god, but there were no signs of him.
"Damn! I almost had him!"
"Yamato! Come down here!" Omega X calls out to his former rival. "There's a lot we have to discuss."
"Why should I?"
"Because we maybe dealing with an enemy that could very well threaten the existence of our planet. We'll definitely need you on the case."
"Need me? You heard what that bastard said. He killed Dimitri! The future version of my son is gone…"
"Please, dear… Just get down here and we'll discuss a strategy to avenge our son's loss," Mimi pleaded. "I want to get back at that monster, too, but I'm not going to let anger blind me."
"You fools figure it out for yourselves. You don't need me on your case!" Metalla X cried out in fury. "Tai. You already have your band of merry men and women. You figure it out for yourselves. I'm not going to play the hero crap anymore…"
Metalla X levitates down to where his friends gathered together. Just as Omega X was close to approaching him, the furious warrior walks away calmly.
"Yamato…"
"Just let him be," Celesta X said. "He needs some time to think this over. He's upset over the revelation of Dimitri being killed."
"I know what he must feel, but this is a serious situation we have here. There's no telling what kind of disasters will emerge from those Digi-Cores alone. Seven monsters… and a tunnel leading into the Dark Dimension. If I do recall… Wait! The Dark Dimension?!"
"You know about that place, Tai?" Takato asked.
"Oh yeah and let me tell you. It's not a place where you'd want to go on a picnic."
"He went to the Dark Realm when he battled Burizalor," War Angemon stated. "We didn't think he was going to make it. That was many years ago."
"So, what now? There are some creatures called Synisters living there? Have you ever managed to run into one of those?" Kumamon wondered.
"They sure don't sound like your everyday baddie," Agunimon said.
"Well, from what I saw… No, I haven't," Omega X said. "Maybe that Millenniumon was just using scare tactics to make us believe that there really is a tunnel."
"Or maybe not," Ultima X stated. "What if he is telling the truth? Either way, he's taken away our opportunity to revive Ken! Yolei's not going to be pleased when she hears this."
"Speaking of Yolei, where is she, Davis?" asked Keke.
"She's with Joe, Cody and David at a local hospital in Shinjuku. They should be fine since that area's been clear of creature and digimon activity."
"In that case, I say we give them a visit," Tike and Kara said.
"Hold on. Let's first get everything together here. This has been a really insane twenty-four hours. First, the whole invasion and the super artificial. It's been a mess," said Cyberleomon.
"And now… This Millenniumon," Jeri finished. "What about this human he was speaking of?"
"That's what I'm wondering," Lobomon said.
"Tai. You think X or Shintomon would know any of this?" asked Loweemon.
"I don't know. I haven't really asked them. Looks like I'll have to go pay a visit to them."
Just as Omega X was prepared to teleport out using his Time Warp technique, a familiar voice calls out to him telepathically. It was coming directly from X.
"Tai! Can you hear me?!"
"Huh? Wow, you just stopped me at the nick of time. So, I'm aware you know about this whole mess?"
"Actually… I may know the answers to your questions. Especially to this secret identity of the human the monster referred to. Millenniumon is a different matter. Tai. This creature has been ravaging parts of time and space before arriving here. As he stated, he's already destroyed alternate future earth. The same home which Dimitri resided…"
"Tell me. Let's get to the bottom of Millenniumon. He said that he had stolen the Digi-Cores from under Azulongmon? Where was Azulongmon at the time?!"
"He was helping Gennai to capture the escapees from Digital Limbo. As we can tell, there are still escapees on your planet as we speak."
"Oh, some stranglers left to take out? That shouldn't be a problem. No, this Millenniumon is the real problem. He's already taken and split three of the Digi-Cores apart. He warned us that he would be creating seven monsters from each of them."
"Yes and he won't hesitate either. From what I can tell, the Digi-Cores are already manifesting into the monsters' forms now."
"Damn! Then, we'd better hurry!"
"Just a second, Tai. Before, you go. There's something else you should know."
"What's that?"
"It's about the deal with the tunnel and the Dark Dimension from within. I take it you and your friends are interested to find out the truth."
"Yes, we're really anxious to know. It's been bugging us and we need to know the truth. No more secrets, X. The truth has to come out now."
"Very well, Taichi. I suggest everyone of you listen to what I'm about to say. But first…"
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, X instantly appears at the site with the assistance of Shintomon's teleportation. The group gathered around to greet the higher powers.
"Oh! We heard the news about you being a father, Shintomon!" Kazemon said.
"Yes! Congratulations!" Sora replied. "Will it be a boy or a girl?!"
"We're not too sure of that," Shintomon said while blushing in embarrassment.
"We'll be there for the baby shower," Mimi giggled. "I can't wait for the lovable pride and joy."
"You guys. Can we get to the bottom of this situation? I'm serious here," Agunimon suggested.
"Please, tell us, what we have to know," Renamon asked.
"Enough stalling, X. The truth has to come out now," Ultima X said.
The masked man walks about the street and picks up a soda bottle. He tosses it aside the street and turns to face the group. X was ready to give his explanation behind the secrets of the Dark Dimension, the tunnel and the Synisters.
"First off, where is this tunnel located?" asked Metalla X.
"The tunnel is located within the outskirts of Mushiyori," X said.
"Great, then I'll use my Time Warp to go there and stop those creeps myself," stated Omega X.
"Tai. Sometimes you need to think more before you take action," Shintomon said. "We've already checked in that area and it's been sealed off within a barrier. A very powerful one mind you. I'm afraid not even your Time Warp will help you enter through the barrier."
"Damn, those guys must have been well prepared if they can seal off anyone's entry," said Kazu. "That sucks to be us."
"Sucks to be us!" Guardromon mimicked his partner.
"Just can it you two or you'll be meeting my fist," Renamon threatened the jokers.
"Geez, she can never take a joke," muffed Kenta.
"Mushiyori? That's not too far from here," said Pikkan.
"We have BW investigating the situation in Mushiyori as we speak," said X. "He should return within thirty minutes to bring us back a full report, or at least a partial one."
"Now, this really isn't information we should really be giving out to anyone, especially you guys," Shintomon spoke. "It's secret classified information from the highest echelon of the files in our realm."
"Well, how can we help you if we don't know anything?!" asked Omega X.
"Yeah, you do make an interesting point," X said. "Ok everyone. This explaining part is really going to suck, but here goes… Here's how is shakes down. There are four stages to this apocalyptic breach."
"First stage, we have many digimon bio-emerging into the real. I'm sure you know Yamaki and Hypnos' history with dealing with digimon emerging into the real world," Shintomon said.
"Yeah. I remember when we first met, Takato," Guilmon said. "I bio-emerged here after all."
"Yeah, how can I forget?"
"That has happened with our digimon partners," Henry spoke up. "Us, Tamers that is… Terriermon. Renamon. They bio-emerged here."
"Yes, that is a common activity which occurs between the real and digital worlds," X explained. "That's merely the first stage. As the size of the breach increases, we have stage two. During this stage, we have higher-level monsters appearing within your realm. This has happened when the Devas attacked."
"How could I forget those moments? Those were horrifying," said Jeri said.
"Not to mention that monsters like Parrotmon came here," Celesta X replied.
"You're right, Kari. That's a really good example," stated Omega X.
"Now stage three is where things really heat up," X continued on. "That portal that opened up in the skies released a haven of escapees from Digital Limbo."
"You're telling us?! Those were an army of monsters we've already clobbered before!" said Terriermon.
"Luckily we've managed to clean up that mess," replied Takato.
"Be glad Takato and I were able to hold off Burizalor and Virus from entering through that damn portal," said Omega X.
"In the fourth and final stage, a border tunnel breach achieves a stabilized diameter of over two kilometers, allowing total passage."
"Total passage for whom, Shintomon?" asked Sora.
"Yeah! Just who do what kind of monsters are we dealing with now? These Synisters that Millenniumon was speaking of?!" Max said.
"Well, with a tunnel that gigantic, digimon and other dimensional beings all the way through C and B level classes will be able to pass between worlds in masses. This makes even today's threat look like a walk in the park," X continued on.
"Great, I don't like the sound of that," Keke said.
"No kidding. Today was just hectic," Palmon replied.
"Just leave them with me. I'll take them apart and send them back where they came crawling," Metalla X seethed angrily.
"Now, tell us about these classes," Takato said. "What kinds of classes do you rank these beings?"
"The Digital Worlds always rank every digimon and dimensional being according to their power levels. The D ranking are considered the weaker kind and it goes all the way up High A class powers," replied X. "I never told you this because I didn't feel there wasn't any point. But, here's a very interesting note of reference."
"Go on…" Omega X said.
"All the monsters in the upper level B-Class are the same power level as Virus."
"And those within the middle C-Class are the same strength as Burizalor."
"And D-Reaper at her prime was only ranked at a mid-A class."
"What?! D-Reaper was only a Mid-A class yet there are guys out there that make him look like a pansy?!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"That's insane!" Takato exclaimed.
Omega X quickly looks back to the events of five years ago. He and his allies were in a tight struggle in their battle against the D-Reaper. They had tried everything within their arsenal to bring down the resilient creature. The Life Bomb, created from the spirit energy of Earth and the Digital World, was needed destroy the D-Reaper. Yes, every source of spirit/life energy was essential from EVERY digimon and human to topple the deletion program turned evil.
"But… We had to resort to the Life Bomb to put that thing down!" Celesta X panicked.
"Those three guys, including the D-Reaper, nearly killed all of us! D-Reaper was merely just a mid-A class?!" Omega X exclaimed.
"And this one will shock you, Tamers. Lucemon was also only a mid-A class digimon at his prime," Shintomon stated.
"Man, we're way out of our league here!" Beetlemon freaked out.
"Calm down. We're in this together!" Kazemon said.
"Calm down?! How can we?! Lucemon nearly wiped us out if you don't recall?!" Agunimon snapped. "And he was just a freaking mid-A class?!"
"Man, you higher powers really do like to keep us in suspense," Omega X growled.
"Wait, there's more," X continued on. "As you can see, most of these monsters were born and created within the Dark Dimension. Burizalor and Lucemon Satan Mode were once prime residents to that realm. They knew about the horrors and dangers from within that territory. I believe it was Millenniumon's dark essence that was responsible in the creation of it. The Millenniumon you just faced was merely a shadow of his real form hiding within the lurks of the Dark Realm."
"The Dark Realm was born at the same time the Digital Universe was in its infancy. CPUs were responsible for creating everything our worlds. It was said that the very first computer, known as Atanasoff-Berry Computer, had laid down the foundations of this Digital Universe along with it the Digital World. However, the creation did not stop from there. Along came the first patented digital computer called the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, AKA ENIAC. Upon its activation, the foundations from ABC were laid out. Thus, the Digital Universe and the Digital World was created."
"Ok, Shintomon. You're getting way too technical for my tastes," Omega X. "What does this have anything to do with the Dark Realm?!"
"If you have any patience, then they should be getting there," Izzy replied. "Go on, Shintomon…"
"Well, I was just getting to the point. It did not end there. As a result of these events, several of the Digital Multi-Worlds were started to develop, along with the various Earth realities. One by one, each Digital World supported a different sector of Earth. One series of each of the four Digital Worlds also ran closely parallel to two other unrelated dimensions. One dimension consists of a power to transform all thoughts and dreams into realities and the other was a dark dimension where everything considered negative comes into reality. That very same realm became the Dark Realm."
"All right, now we're getting somewhere," said Ultima X.
"From within that realm, manifested corrupted data and negative energy took root," X said. "Millenniumon himself was created within that realm as did many other sinister creatures. That includes creatures known as Corrupts and Synisters. Corrupts are classified as C-class and low B-class monsters. Burizalor is considered a Corrupt. The Synisters range from High-B all the way to the rare S-class power levels. The S-class is the highest in the echelon. Even D-Reaper, Bebimon and the Super Artificial couldn't reach the all mighty S-Class."
"S-Class?! Damn, we're really screwed," Rika cursed.
"Now, as you can tell, the Dark Realm is an ancient land and its depths are endless," Shintomon said. "In truth, there are vast parts in its territory that our Holy Realms has no authority over."
"What? But, I never knew thought," Pikkan said. "And I explored many vast regions of the Digital Universe myself."
"Let's think of the Dark Realm as a giant underground building. Basement after basement… It stretches downward into an infinite void. Out of all that, we only control half of the first basement," said X.
"Damn. No offense Shintomon, but you and your former crew were some pretty crappy rulers," Omega X said while shrugging his shoulders.
"You really have to be ashamed of yourself, Shintomon," Max said.
"Hey! We had other priorities! You forget we were dealing with the D-Reaper crisis eons ago!"
"Excuses… Excuses."
"Tai! That's enough!" Sora exclaimed. "Please, continue on, X."
"Thank you, Sora. Now, as I was saying, if Shintomon and his crew would have gotten involved then have been a bloodbath and full of Armageddon. Their only choice was to hold their ground and expand gradually over the centuries."
"Exactly. We cannot awake the anger of the A-class and S-class, or heave forbid the Super A-class dimensional beings, which live at the bottom. Not even late Grand Guardian herself and each of us Supreme Guardians could defeat the S-class Synisters."
This suddenly brought shock and struck fear amongst the teams. They were dealing with beings who even surpassed D-Reaper at its prime. The Digi-Destined were getting way over their heads if they happen to cross paths with any of those aforementioned A and S-class Synisters. Omega X began to have thoughts of those same terrifying creatures and they sure didn't look too pretty.
"Now, you seem sure of yourselves," said Renamon. "I'm sure you would have taken precautions if you knew such a danger, Shintomon."
"Sure we do. To seal off Pseudo Space around the Dark Realm, the Holy Realm has raised a powerful anti-Synister barrier."
"Oh yeah! That's a relief! We have a barrier!" Mimi cheered. "No worries for us!"
"Yeah, you had us worrying over nothing!" Palmon butted in.
"Wait! Then, why are these digimon and creatures still passing through?" Keke wondered.
"Yeah, that still raises some questions," Tike said.
"Well, we had to make priorities," X said. "This was to stop the A and S-class Synisters above all else. Our resources are limited. The only way to make a barrier large enough was to spread the energy into a net."
"Oh, it's like a filter," Celesta X explained to the team.
"Yes, that's precisely right, Hikari," Shintomon stated. "While those B-class and lower level can squeeze through, the higher level A and S-class Synisters are kept away."
"No way! How can you sign off to such a deal like that?!" asked Agunimon. "You intentionally made it so that hundreds of creatures like Burizalor and Virus could just prance on over here whenever they feel like it?!"
"That's messed up if I do say so myself," Metalla X implied.
"You have to imagine the alternative, guys," Shintomon said as he threw a viewing orb to the group. "Take a look through the orb to see for yourself. Now see for yourself if even one S-class Synister crossed out from the Dark Realm and invaded each one of the Digital Worlds."
As the team gathered to look down at the viewing orb, there was a sequence of an alternate Digital Universe being invaded by a single S-class Synister. A view of Zhuqiaomon's Digital World was shown first. Within a split second, the entire planet and Southern region cosmos was instantly wiped out within a devastating blast.
"Holy crap!" Kazu exclaimed.
"I second that," Henry stated. "My god…"
"That's horrible!" Jeri cried.
Now, a shot of Earth is shown. A view of Tokyo, Japan was displayed for one second and then it was evaporated as a whole by a single catastrophic blast. It was almost as if a meteorite has struck the planet. The city was instantly destroyed in the process.
Then came perhaps one of the most horrifying and graphic footage a Higher Being could even bother display to human viewers. Armies from across the globe were seen shooting away at numerous titan-like beasts. These were the Synisters. One of which towered nearly as high as the Eiffel Tower. Most of them were demonic in appearance and others insect-like.
The Digi-Destined couldn't bear to look at the suffering and chaos ensuing. This would be their world if the Synisters had invaded. While most can't destroy planets, some have the ability to drain people's souls within an entire city.
More footage was shown with more Synisters rampaging across the worldwide cities. Humans were shown dismembered and turned into a mountain full of corpses. It was as if these creatures were piling them up as sacrificial lambs for a feast.
Another explosion was shown over planet Earth. The planet itself was destroyed, but the entire human race was wiped out into extinction within a matter of twenty-four hours. Even the strongest of the world's forces were turned into rubble by the sheer might of the power yet intelligent Synisters. While D-Reaper did successfully detonate the Earth, the Earth was ultimately restored. In this scenario, the Synisters had not only destroyed Earth but every other parts of the Digital Universe. Many of the enemies the Digi-Destined faced needed time to accomplish such a feat. But these Synisters knew when to get the job done within a twenty-four hour period.
This was going to be Hell unleashed for everyone. The group was horrified after watching these scenarios unfold, but X had to get the truth across. This would be what Millenniumon and Saitou would have in mind.
Elsewhere within the Odaiba District
With everyone evacuated from the city, there wasn't anything to stop the mastermind behind the operation from going to work. This was none other than Saitou himself.
The young man is seen walking across an empty street while making his way over towards a hotel elevator. He presses the button to send the elevator up to the forty-third floor. He steps inside and waits patiently for the elevator to make its complete stop. The moon already was rising out over the blackened skies. It was a full moon tonight. It's brilliant glare shone over Saitou's clean-cut face.
As the elevator made it's complete stop, Saitou steps out of the elevator. He walks across the dark hallways and stopped towards a door reading '43-23'. As soon as he opened the door, he walks across a magnificent display of an expensive fish aquarium. The young man was revealed to be wearing a black t-shirt with a matching colored baggy pants and dark boots. His face was maturely defined. His eyes were just as sinister as anyone would expect of him. His black hair was slicked back with a small curly tip over his forehead.
He sits down on a comfortable cushioned seat while staring off across the aquarium. Up with a closer view, there was a view of a disgusting sight to behold. It looked as a severed head was seen floating inside with an attached right arm. The face was closely revealed to be pale with a red mask covering its eyes. Its hair was already long, shaggy and moldy. Though it did retain its yellow pigmentation. Half of its face was torn off and revealed a full eyeball exposed. The head chuckled to itself and soon gave himself away. It started speaking out to Saitou telepathically.
"How's the tunnel, Saitou? Are the Seven Monsters being manifested as we speak? I take it our plan is going well with those humans and Millenniumon aiding us…"
Saitou merely replied back to the severed creature revealed to be Myotismon himself.
"Oh, they'll interrupt. The Digi-Destined I mean… They're very good at that. They are tricky fellows. They even made everyone of their enemies, including Burizalor, crazy. Just look what they did to me. Mr. Saitou, you must avenge us."
With that said, Saitou sits up from his seat and walks toward a window with curtains. He unveils the curtains to display the full moon.
"Soldiers take orders, but not I," Saitou said in a low, calm manner. "But lucky for you, nothing could deny me the pleasure of this kill."
"Ha. I knew you would say that. Heh. Heh."
"Ah, never satisfied. Never full. Humans. They eat and destroy with grubby hands until nothing is left but piss. But now, the judgment of all humans has just begun."
Worldwide view of Earth
A streak of seven lights soars across around the globe. Each light had already taken on the forms of dark dragons with Digi-Cores embedded on their foreheads. Millenniumon was now in the process of unleashing the seven creatures towards different sections of the globe.
Siberia
The frozen environment was at peace for the time being. A group of Eskimos were seen gathering to witness a streak of light fly across the heavens. At first, they claimed to have seen a shooting star. Unknown to them, this 'shooting star' was really an essence of Millenniumon manifesting itself into a powerful creature with extraordinary powers.
Soon, the shooting star plowed itself through a snow-capped mountain and gathered a tremendous sheet of ice around itself. The dark dragon had taken on the form of a pure ice dragon. The monster lets out a defying roar. The first of the seven monsters was quickly undergoing a metamorphosis from out of it's 'shell'.
Honolulu, Hawaii
There was a sudden volcano eruption on the largest island of the Hawaii Islands. It's been documented that a large volcanic activity has emerged from their long slumbers. The Hawaiian/American citizens had started to evacuate. But what they didn't expect was a shooting star plummeting down into the volcanic magma.
The largest volcano erupts with another flow of magma. Within the hot magma was a gargoyle-like figure. It grew a pair of glider wings and was prepared to take off.
Paris, France
Another dark dragon came flying across the French skies and plows through a foggy mist amongst the city streets. Slowly, a quadruped creature manifested from the piece of Millenniumon's essence. The creature was also feminine in appearance. The unknown female monster steps through the fog mist and made her way across the barren streets.
Shinjuku. Local Graveyard
The fourth dark dragon came plummeting through the local, cryptic Shinjuku cemetery. The dead were immediately disturbed by this unexpected event. A large fog started to blanket the graveyard landscape.
The dragon now takes the form of a bipedal human-like creature. It's appearance and physique was similar to that of the infamous Myotismon, but its power was overwhelming strong and filled with a portion of Millenniumon's essence.
Los Angeles, California
The fifth dark dragon plummets through the center of an abandoned ghetto street. A large crowd of people proceeded to retreat from the unexpected disaster. They panicked as if a meteorite had struck the city. However, they were safe and not wiped off by the impact blast.
Unknown to them, an Avarian reptile creature was sitting in the middle of the crater. Its feathered body was streaking with voltage of electricity.
India/China Border
The final two dark dragons were still locating positions across the planet. One managed to plunge into the river valleys of a nearby Indian village. The last Millenniumon dragon was still finding an area to manifest itself. This sixth essence emerges out of the water and starts to take the form of a monster.
This monster was grotesque in appearance. It basically has the appearance of a green, fat frog creature with a yellow body. The amphibian creature's mouth is equipped with sharp teeth and its eyes are sinister red with yellow irises. The frog creature cackled a deep laughter and embraced the environment surrounding him. Who would have thought this odd creature was created from an essence of Millenniumon's shadow.
"Ah! Just look at this pleasant scenery! It'll be a pleasure to spread my pollution over this river valley! Millenniumon, thank you for granting me the opportunity to do away with these retched humans! I can't wait to feast upon their flesh! I, Haze Frogmon, shall not fail you!"
Haze Frogmon. Type: Virus Amphibian. Mega Level. Special Techniques: Air/Water Pollution, Viral Amoeba and Mind Control
Just then, something had caught Haze Frogmon's attention. He looks across to find a group of villagers being treated by a medical doctor. This doctor didn't seem like a village healer, but rather a doctor from a medical facility. The amphibian had immediately caught with a brilliant scheme. He puts his full attention on the doctor and licked his lips.
"Yes, that doctor shall do nicely. He'll help me to do away with these humans. I sense a wicked heart within this human and he yearns to see mankind's destruction. This is just perfect. Now, to manipulate his mind and use him as a pawn to our master scheme."
Highton View Terrance
As everyone recollect their thoughts over the story behind the Synisters and the tunnel leading to the Dark Realm. There was mixed reactions amongst the team members. Their faces had expressions of fear, shock, and anger. Not a single one of them were relieved to hear the truth revealed after being concealed for so long. Basically, the truth really had an impact on the Digi-Destined/Tamers/Chosen Children combo.
Even Kazu and Guardromon were panicking. The teen grabbed his hat and started freaking out with a spotlight over him.
"My life! There's still plenty of stuff I have to do! I need to find myself a girlfriend, become a champion duelist and even grow my first mustace!" Kazu panicked.
"I need to find myself a digimon babe!" Guardromon mourned.
"But, now you're telling me that a bunch of freaks like D-Reaper, Bebimon and Virus are going to attack us all at once?!" Kenta freaked.
"Pi! Pi!"
"And then there's the A and S-class Synisters!" Kazu ranted on. "Those are guys that not even the Higher dudes can control!"
"Has hope truly left us?" the two boys asked in unison. "Is this the end of everything?! Say it ain't so?!"
"Will you two just shut the hell up?!" Rika snapped.
"You should have brought some duct tape with you, Rika," Renamon suggested. "I would have gladly shut their gums shut."
"We'll talk about our plan in a minute," stated X. "There's no need to panic until we get to the bottom of this. So far, you guys have already meet Millenniumon face to face. By now, those seven monsters should be manifesting by now."
"Oh no. I can sure feel them," Omega X said. "They're across the planet. Six of them have taken on forms and are starting to make their move. I'm sure they're aware of our whereabouts and will do anything to draw us out."
"I agree," Celesta X replied. "But we had better watch ourselves. Each of these monsters possesses Millenniumon's dark powers. You saw what he did with Matt."
"Did you really have to bring it that up?" Metalla X growled.
"So what now?" Takato asked. "We have a lot on our hands. Seven monsters. Millenniumon. An human accomplice to Millenniumon and a tunnel leading to this Dark Realm."
"That's too much for us to handle, Takatomon," Guilmon muffed.
"No kidding. We've already been a rough day and I'm too pooped to go any further," said Terriermon.
Just then, Shintomon quickly picks up a distress signal from BW. Not only was Shintomon able to pick up his telepathic voice but also every other warrior heard him speaking out through his or her minds.
"Hey, it's BW!" Omega X said.
"What is it, BW? Were you able to find out anything about the tunnel in Mushiyori?" Shintomon asked.
"Shintomon. Everyone. I have some terrible news to inform you."
"This is just what we needed," X sighed. "Spill the news…"
"The hole leading to the Dark Realm is widening at terrific speed! I don't know what to say but it's opening up faster than we've calculated! At this pace, it will reach the final phase in three weeks, at the latest!"
"What?!" the entire team exclaimed in unison.
"Impossible! We made clear calculations!" Shintomon stated. "I was sure the tunnel wasn't going to grow any faster than that!"
"Only three weeks?!" Omega X cried out. "Damn! In three weeks, everything up through the B and A-class creatures, which are stronger than Virus and Bebimon, will be able to come and go into our world!"
"This is just not what we needed!" Dorothy said.
"Mom! For the first time ever, I'm actually scared," Max stated.
"I'm with you on that, dear."
"Shintomon! There's got to be something to stop it?!" War Angemon asked frantically. "Is there any way to close this hole up?!"
"The only way to do that is defeat these seven monster accomplices and destroy this spellcaster," Shintomon replied.
"Exactly, Shintomon. From what I've been able to find out, it's not a physical hole but a distortion in time and space. The distortion is currently at 1.3 kilometers. But once it hits two kilometers, it stabilizes, changing from energy conduit to a physical space. You don't use any drill to make a hole this big. There has to be a spellcaster at the center of this hole, where space is being distorted."
"So, you know where this guy is? If we beat them down, then we're all ok?" Ultima X asked. "All we have to do is pound these assholes into oblivion! Meanwhile, the rest of you can find those seven monsters and take them out of the ballpark."
"Davis. Let's not get carried away here," Sonja said. "First, we…"
"X! I say we split up! Half of us can go over to Mushiyori and the others can take off to fight those seven monsters!" Ultima X said. "Besides, I want to get them back for taking away the Digi-Cores and crushing our hopes of reviving Ken!"
"Not so fast, Davis. Let's think this over. It's already been notified that the area where the hole is opening is sealed by a powerful force field. Not even your attacks will penetrate through it," said X.
"Besides, it wouldn't be wise to go after the enemy without knowing what their abilities are and commit some rather idiotic blunders?" Shintomon stated. "Let's think through this… We have a Spellcaster, most likely the human Millenniumon, is speaking of and the Seven Monsters. I suggest we take out the monsters first since they are merely distractions for the Spellcaster to open up the rift."
"What?! If we do that, then the hole is only going to get bigger?!"
"I'll have to agree with Davis," Omega X said.
"Me, too. There's no telling how much bigger that hole will increase in size if we take our eyes off the ballgame," Agunimon suggested.
"If that tunnel is complete, we're screwed," Beetlemon stated.
"But that just leaves us three weeks," replied Lobomon.
"Correct. I see there are members of your team that are getting the picture," Shintomon sighed. "We already know about the seven monsters. But how many of those Spellcasters are we dealing with? What are their abilities? I have no data on them whatsoever."
"We need to know these things before anything else," said Henry. "Or else, we won't know where to identify those Spellcasters. You guys can easily find and destroy the monsters in the meantime."
"Shintomon. X. Since these fools are already finished with their ridiculous questions, I need you to answer me this," Metalla X snorted.
"You can also answer my question," Pikkan said.
"At what rank do you rank me?"
"Matt! That's enough out of you!" Mimi snapped.
"What?! You better answer me, Shintomon. What class am I ranked in the Digital Universe?!" Metalla X demanded.
"You can also tell me right away. I'm curious to know," the Alterian butted in.
"All right. All right. You two need to calm down first," Shintomon eased the two hot heads. "Ok, you want to know your rankings? Very well. As of now, Yamato, you are ranked among the lowest of the A-class. Pikkan, you are currently at the middle B-class level. That's quite an astonishing feat for an Alterian. D-Reaper was considered a middle A-class during its prime and Bebimon was at a low A-class."
"Feh! You underestimate me, again?!" Metalla X growled.
"Hold the record, Yamato. I should inform you that when you and Metal Garurumon first battled Tai years ago, your digimon was only ranked a higher D-class. Overtime, your power level had risen dramatically. By the time you first became Metalla X, you ascended up to a Low-B class. Recently, after being possessed by Bebimon, you raised up to a Low-A class. That's quite an outstanding feat if I do say so myself."
"Shintomon, you fool. Is that your idea of flattery?!" Metalla X said.
"Matt! That's enough!" Omega X snapped. "Where are you going?!"
Metalla X turns away from the group and looks out towards the heavens. The warrior turns and faces them with an angry glare.
"Whatever happens to this world is of no concern to me," Metalla X snorted. "You have your band of merry men and women, Tai. I'm a moot point."
"So! You're just going to walk away on us?!" Ultima X exclaimed. "If you didn't notice, Ken was just slain and the Digi-Cores are gone!"
"Please, Mr. Ishida! We need you," Max pleaded.
"Poppa!" Keke cries out. "Don't go!"
"Yeah, dad"! the younger Dimitri calls to his father.
"Just what has gotten over you?!" snapped Mimi. "Don't you walk out on your own family, too!"
"You can do whatever you want from here on," the ice cold warrior spoke up. "I have no intention of interfering with you! Neither do I intend to help you!"
"Matt! Just hear what you're saying!" War Angemon exclaimed. "You're losing it!"
"Let him be, TK! You coward, Matt!" hissed Ultima X. "Real men help when they're needed!"
"Feh. Save that damn idealism for your freaking fairytales," Metalla X bellowed.
With that said, Metalla X takes off into the heavens immediately and leaves everyone behind to look on. Omega X didn't even bother trying to stop him. Once again, Yamato has left his friends hanging out to dry to recollect his thoughts, but many wonder if he'll ever return when needed.
"Oh yeah?! Well, I'm not about to shed any tears for you, Matt! Besides, I'm glad you're gone!" Ultima X calls out to the departing warrior. "Damn! He's the same selfish punk from the start!"
However, Omega X remained rather calm and collected at the moment. It was as if he knew Matt better anyone in the group.
"He'll come around, guys. He's still upset about Dimitri from the future and about the revelation of his demise. He just needs time to recollect his thoughts about his saddening loss."
"I did hear my dad mention a future version of myself," young Dimitri said. "Momma. Is he strong as dad says he is?"
"He was powerful and gentle. I hope you grow up to be as caring and gentle as he was," Mimi said.
"Besides, once everyone of us are in a tight pinch, he'll come to rescue us when we need him the most," Celesta X assured the team.
"Well, that's good to know," Takato said. "Don't let his attitude get to you, Takuya."
"Hey, as long as he comes back, I'm cool with it," Agunimon said. "Right, guys?"
"Right!" the legendary warriors said in unison.
"It's pretty hard to predict what he'll do," War Angemon said. "That's my brother for ya."
"Well, he was on the side of evil for a while," said Leomon. "He once craved to do everything he could to kill you, Taichi."
"Gee, I have to be reminded of that, do I?"
"So what now?" Kenta asked. "We're sitting ducks here for the moment."
"We don't take any action until daybreak," X suggested. "This entire day was hell unleashed. You guys need the rest after your battle with the Super Artificial. Tomorrow, we'll split up into teams. Some of you will take different sections of the globe to track down those seven monsters."
"That's a brilliant idea," Tentomon said. "Meanwhile, Izzy and I can assist you on the situation with the distortion."
"That'd be great," Shintomon said. "With each of you guys here, we can determine who goes where. Taichi, is that fine with you?"
"That's fine. Besides, I really want to get a crack shot at these monsters."
"Well, maybe you should stick with us for the time being," X said. "We'll need you just in case one of monsters decides to attack us."
"That'll be swell. Don't worry, big brother," Celesta X. "I'm the second strongest and I should help organize the teams."
"That's good, Kari. Thanks a lot."
"Get some sleep everyone. Davis. You can go and check back with Yolei. Everyone, get some sleep. We'll split into seven teams," Shintomon informed the group. "Two of those teams will cover Mushiyori and the other five will track down those monsters. In the meantime, avoid taking careless actions on your own."
"Hey! Don't tell me we have to sleep out here!" Kazu whined.
"It's much too cold for us!" Kenta cried. "We didn't even bring our pillows!"
"Hey, Jeri, how about I sleep on you for a while? You can be my pillow," Kazu snickered.
With that said, Pikkan delivers a fist that connects with Kazu's face and sends him flying back into a dumpster. The boy lands backfirst against the dumpster and was left unconscious.
"There! You can sleep you, pervert!" Pikkan snapped. "You want to join him four-eyes?!"
"Um… no," Kenta squeaked out.
Pikkan kept his eye on the two sneaky boys while going over to comfort his girlfriend, Jeri. The others went about to find themselves locations to rest up for the night.
Mushiyori. The underground cavern with the distortion tunnel
Deep within a cryptic and barren cavern outside of Mushiyori city, there was little activity taking place at the moment. However, unknown to even the Higher Powers, a sinister plan was being hatched by the 'Spellcasters' mentioned.
Inside the interior of a lighten cavern were two individuals. One of which was looking on from a far distance and maintaining a calm demeanor. This was the sinister human, Saitou. The other was a younger boy sitting Indian-style in the middle of a crimson lake on top of a small boat. The boy is identified as Neo Saiba. He looked to be about thirteen years of age. His eyes were completely closed as if he were meditating.
"Neo Saiba. How's the tunnel coming along?"
"Is that you, Mr. Saitou? We have an obstacle as we speak."
"An obstacle? Tell me. Millenniumon and myself didn't go all the way through time and space to find you in that alternate Earth."
"Within the subspace that acts as a border between the Dark Realm and the real world, there is a powerful peripheral field in place. With my ability, I am able to open doorways to other dimensions. However, I cannot bring down the peripheral barrier. We'll need someone with the ability to cut through the peripheral field in subspace."
"Someone with the ability to cut through dimensions, huh? Very well. I will make sure I find one. While I'm out dealing with those who would get in our way, that is… I'll bring judgment to those that get in our way."
As Saitou departs from the cavern, he is greeted upon by four more individuals waiting out for him. The four shadowy figures are revealed to be humans. One of which is a masked figure. The other is another young man at Neo's age. The other two are females. One was a little girl who looked exactly like Hikari during her childhood and the other was a teenage girl with pigtails.
Shinjuku Hospital
Ken Ichijouji remained in a peaceful state as his corpse laid on top of a hospital bed. Keeping an eye over the deceased genius was Yolei, Wormmon, Hawkmon, David and the Ichijouji children. They were told by Davis to remain where they were and to keep a close eye on Ken's body.
"Oh, Ken. I still can't believe you're gone," Yolei sobbed.
"Mrs. Ichijouji. Please don't cry anymore," David said. "I know my dad and Max's dad will find those Digi-Cores soon."
"I hope so, David. I really do hope so… It's just hard to believe that Ken is gone…"
"I know… I'm just glad it wasn't my dad that suffered."
Just then, the digimon felt an overwhelming presence and turned to look out the window. Hawkmon fluttered about to peer through to see who had just arrived at the scene.
"Who is it, Hawkmon?" Sam asked.
"It's Davis and Veemon! They're back!" Hawkmon squawked.
"That's good! Maybe they've brought along the Digi-Cores," Yolei said. "Let's go and greet them!"
With that said, Yolei and the others left the hospital room. They started walking down through several doors and arrived at the lobby. Davis, Veemon and Sonja stepped through the front doors to be greeted upon by their friends.
"Dad! Mom!" David calls out to his loving parents.
"Hey, David! Did you take care of Ken's body?" Veemon said.
"Yes. We were there to look after his body," Yolei stated. "So, where are the Digi-Cores? I don't see them in your possession."
"Yolei. It's going to be a long story, but you just might want to hear us out," Sonja replied.
Odaiba
The Kamiya family was gathered together in their apartment home. Tai stood outside the balcony with Agumon and Max by his side. They saw the full moon in the horizon gazing down upon the city with sheer brilliance and beauty.
"That's a cool sight. Isn't dad? I really like to see the moon when it's full," Max said.
"I know what you mean. I always enjoy looking out to the night stars."
"So, how are we going to pull through this mess, dad? There's seven monsters bent on finding that tunnel. Even though we already know where the tunnel is located."
"What the others need to do is take care of those seven monsters. In the meantime, I'll be with Shintomon and X. We'll be finding the whereabouts of the Spellcaster and the tunnel. Max, this won't be easy. This is going to require plenty of thinking and less on brawn. Now, I'm not the type to ever use my head, but it can be a very essential tool."
"I know. I guess you can't always win using your fists. Hey, are you still able to teleport through that barrier created by that Spellcaster?"
"No. I've tried everything," Tai said. "That just proves Omega X can't do everything."
"But we'll be sure to locate some clues needed to locate that tunnel and barrier," Agumon implied. "I'm sure we'll manage to break through and get to the bottom of this."
"He's right, dad. We will get to the bottom of this."
"Yep. Since we have everyone doing their parts, I'm sure we will succeed."
"Except for Keke's dad, of course…"
"I wouldn't worry about him. He just needs time recuperate. I don't blame him for being upset after hearing that his future son was killed by that Millenniumon guy."
"I still don't get how that Millenniumon knows you, dad."
"Even I find that strange. We've never crossed paths and yet he was watching me this whole time for the last five years. He was hiding within Cyberdramon and waited for the right opportunity to release himself."
"Where are Ryo and Cyberdramon?"
"Shintomon was able to transport those two back to their home. Anyway, my guess is that this Millenniumon met me in another time and period. Perhaps, a time before I became a Digi-Destined or before I became Omega X. Who knows? Maybe in another time, my alternate self doesn't have the ability to become a fused warrior and I'm more vulnerable."
"Wow, Tai. You really thought that through," Agumon said.
"Normally, I don't but I needed to come up with a reasonable scenario."
"That's a pretty good prediction, dad. You didn't even need Izzy to help you think of such a hypothesis."
"Ok, I think we both need to refrain from using big words. I guess hanging around Izzy does that to you."
"Maybe," Max snickered.
"Anyway, let's get some rest, Max. We have a long and busy three weeks ahead of us. But we should finish this as soon as possible."
"Ok, dad. Now let's go get ourselves some shut eye."
"Night, Max."
"Goodnight, dad."
Shinjuku Hospital
After spilling the news about Millenniumon and the stolen Digi-Cores, Yolei had busted into tears and mourned for the loss of her husband. There wasn't any hope of reviving Ken. Davis and Sonja were very saddened to even tell Yolei the truth. However, his death was at least avenged with the Super Artificial slain.
"I'm sorry for this, Yolei," Davis said.
"We really are," replied Sonja. "That monster captured the Digi-Cores."
"But there's still hope! If we can take out those seven monsters, then we should retrieve those Digi-Cores in no time!" David assured everyone. "I mean. That's all we have to do."
"But it perhaps won't be that easy," stated Wormmon. "We still need to think this through."
"Wormmon's right. There's no telling what kind of foes we're going to be dealing with," Hawkmon replied.
"Which is why we'll be splitting up into teams tomorrow. Now, let's get some sleep everyone. Yolei, will you be coming along?"
"Well, I don't know. Who's going to stay to watch over Ken's body?"
"Just leave that to us," Joe said. "Cody and I will stay to keep an eye on Ken's body while you guys retrieve those Digi-Cores from the monsters."
"Be sure to get them as soon as possible. I'm not sure how long a corpse can remain fresh before it starts to decompose," Cody said.
Suddenly, there was a loud screech and a massive explosion from within the room holding Ken's body. Armadillomon and Gomamon were thrown out of the room with bruises over them. Everyone reacted to this disaster and heads off to the source of the explosion.
"Oh no! It's coming from Ken's room!" Yolei screamed. "KEN!"
"Damn it! What could have done this?!" Davis wondered.
"Look! Gomamon and Armadillomon are outside the room!" Cody points out. "Armadillomon!"
"Gomamon!" Joe cries out. "What just happened here?!"
With Joe and Cody tending to their fallen partners, Davis and Yolei stopped to find the room turned into a pile of rubble. This was obviously the result of an attack, but most shocking of all was Ken's body missing. The bed remained intact where it was but the body was gone from sight. Wormmon searched around the room frantically but found no evidence of the body buried under the rubble. Sonja and Veemon knew what could possibly happen to Ken's body.
"This is terrible!" David said.
"Who could have possibly done this? Who?!" Yolei wondered while crying.
"Davis. Sonja and I have a good idea of who could have possibly done this," Veemon said to his partner.
"You think it could have been one of those seven monsters?"
"There's no doubt about it. It has to be. There's no other way to comprehend it," Sonja stated.
"If that's the case, then we're really going to have to wing it! Millenniumon's gone too far and this whacko human have to be stopped. Ken's become a casualty and they're just using Ken's body to bait us out. Damn it. This is it, guys. There's no way out of this mess."
Davis could very well be right. The situation has grown worse. There are seven monsters spread across the planet for our heroes to contend with. There is also the tunnel in Mushiyori opening up between the Dark Realm and real world. Just when will Saitou and his human followers strike next? There's only three weeks until this tunnel is opened and all hell could break loose. It's now evident that one of the seven monsters has taken Ken's body to bait Davis out. Just how will our heroes pull through this mess?

Takato: Hey, everyone! This is Takato speaking! We've just started to split up into our seven teams. Two teams will investigate Mushiyori city while the rest of us explore the corners of the globe to find those seven monsters.
Tai: Shintomon, X, Max, BW and myself explore the city of Mushiyori as he comes across this creepy guy named Oikawa. His ability of reading minds should help us to locate this psychopath. Meanwhile, Sora, Mimi and Izzy are about another section of the city as one of those crazy human spellcasters are spying on my friends.
Saitou: They're out in the city. This should prove to be quite amusing. I'll send for the Alias 3 to set up their territories. Rei Saiba. I take it you will keep an eye on these humans. Don't let your guard down and be sure to inflict judgment on anyone who crosses your path.
Takuya: Down in the India/China border, us legendary warriors are there to investigate the whereabouts of the first monster. Cody and Joe will check the local hospital there to see if there were any causalities from the monster's attacks.
Haze Frgomon: Greetings, Spirit Warriors! I am the first of Millenniumon's seven monsters. I control the power of pollution and infectionous diseases. If you hope to save these people, you will have to do more than kill me.
Hospital doctor: You will also have to kill me…
Agunimon: Wait a minute! This frog is controlling this doctor?! What, we have to kill a human, too?!
Cody: This isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Lobomon: We have to do this, Takuya. There is no other way. If we want to save the planet, we have to kill the human.
Agunimon: Killing that damn monster is fine, but a human? We've never stooped to even kill our own kind. We'll be classified as murderers.
Gomamon: The next chapter is entitled…
The Search for the Spellcasters! Haze Frogmon, the Master of Pollution and Manipulation!
Tai: So, you're the whacko we're looking for?!
Saitou: Let this be our introduction, Taichi Kamiya.
Finally, I've managed to post this chapter up. I hope you guys enjoyed it. As you can tell, this chapter has already taken a turn to the dark side. Don't expect much light-hearted humor as this saga progresses on. Our heroes have quite a lot on their hands. This will be the final D-Fusion saga and I hope to make it count. So, bear with me.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Last time, a dark force emerges from the Digital Cores and it is revealed to be Millenniumon's sinister shadow. He announces that he would transfer his dark essence within the cores and in the process create seven monsters. Each monster has been spread across the planet to proceed with destroying mankind.
Meanwhile, Millenniumon's other accomplice has set his plot into motion. Mushiyori City. Within this city, a dark crew is forging a tunnel between the real and the dark worlds. If completed, countless digimon and inter-dimensional beings just as strong as Virus and Bebimon will flood the earth. It'll be a much bigger and catastrophic invasion unlike the last one. Is there any way to stop it? The answer is simple: Find the spell caster who is forming the tunnel and defeat him. Shintomon and X has assembled Taichi's team and split them into seven groups. Four of which will go out to find the seven monsters and the other two will set off to Mushiyori city. They now enter the fray.
((Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays))
The Search for the Spellcasters! Haze Frogmon, the Master of Pollution and Manipulation!
Mushiyori City
It was dawn in the city of Mushiyori. The citizens had remained despite the invasion of the hell escapees the other day. There weren't any other strange occurrences since then. However, despite the peace, this was the same city where the tunnel leading to the Dark Realm was being forged by Saitou and his crew.
Shintomon and X had split Tai's team into seven groups. Two of those teams had set off into Mushiyori in search of any clues that might help them in their leading case.
Shintomon lead one group that consisted of Izzy, Mimi, Sora, Dimitri and their digimon partners. They were seen across an empty lot field on the backgrounds of Mushiyori.
Meanwhile, X led his team consisting of Tai, Agumon, Max, BW and Keke. Their mission was to locate clues on the tunnel being forged. This also included finding any of the spell casters that may be residing in the city.
The skies were currently crimson after the side effects of the portal that opened above the heavens. The citizens didn't seem to notice nor care about the situation at hand.
BW and X were looking across at the city for any clues. Thus far, they've only managed to sense the presence of tiny, low-level digimon lurking through the city. These were considered no threat and were ignored.
"Anything yet?" Max asked.
"Nothing yet. All we've been sensing are lower level digimon that don't even seem to be harmful to the people here," replied BW. "Damn, this is going to be tough. We've never had to search for humans. These spell casters must have really low ki since I can't sense them out."
"It's no surprise. We've been so used to dealing with enemies with high powers," stated X. "We really need to keep our eyes peeled."
"Geez, I can't believe I have to take this mission," Tai grumbled. "I could have helped the others to defeat the seven monsters."
"I think everyone else can handle the seven monsters. What we really need to worry about is the tunnel being forged," X said. "Besides, what I'm looking for is another human with such special abilities."
"What? You mean there's a spell caster not associated with this creep?" Keke asked.
"Exactly and he's not very far from here," BW said. "We'll use this guy to help us to locate the main spell caster. We're told that he can read minds."
"Great, a mind reader? Just what we needed…"
"Dad, don't worry. We're going to find this guy and he's going lead us to this psycho."
"So, what are we waiting for? Let's get this show on the road," Tai suggested. "Man, if only I would have been paired with the others."
India/China Border
The team that was sent to investigate the increasing epidemic disaster was all seven of the legendary warriors. Accompanying them were Joe, Cody and their digimon partners. This is just what they needed since Joe was already an official doctor with a high PHD.
"All right, guys. We're told that one of the seven monsters was pinpointed here and there's been a spread of a dangerous epidemic," Joe stated. "Takuya. I know you and your friends will take care of the monster business while Cody and I go to the nearest medical facility. There's been rumors of a man impersonating a doctor and is probably responsible for the spread of this plague."
"It wouldn't really surprise me if this ol' doc and the monster are in any sort of cahoots," Armadillomon suggested.
"I can't argue with that," Takuya said. "Joe. Why don't I join you guys? Kouji. I'll leave it to you to lead everyone through to finding the monster."
"Don't worry. You just leave to us," Kouji said. "There could be minions in there sent by the monster to guard that mad doctor."
"Then, we're all in agreement. Let's move out," Cody said. "There's no time to lose! These poor people need aid."
With that said, Kouji lead his team through the lush forests to search out for the monster polluting the luscious landscape. Unknown to them, Haze Frogmon is the monster that's creating the mess within the Indian/Chinese border. Joe, Cody, Takuya and the digimon headed off towards the opposite direction into a trail that would lead them to the local medical facility.
Looking on from within the lush forests was Haze Frogmon. The maniacal amphibian chuckled deeply to himself and prepared to hunt down the remaining five warriors that lurked deep within his territory.
Paris, France
Kari and TK led their team consisting of Gatomon, Patamon, Tike, Kara, Dorothy, Henry, Terriermon, Suzie and Lopmon through a foggy Paris. The digimon's sensitive eyes were able to see through the fog. This managed to help their human partners in the process.
"Listen up, everyone," TK announced. "We'll be splitting up into two groups. Henry. You take Terriermon, Suzie and Lopmon out towards the eastern side. Doroty, you take our children over to the western side. Be sure to keep an eye on them. If they curse, then you have our permission to curse back."
"Don't worry. They are in good hands," Dorothy assured the young father.
"TK. Gatomon and I will take the north side."
"Good idea, Kari. That just leaves the southern section. All right, let's split up. If you see the monster, then holler out. We'll be there as soon as possible."
As everyone gave an assuring nod, they split up across the city. TK and Patamon took off towards a street, which would lead them through into the southern district of Paris. There was a set of eyes that have kept a close eye on Takeru. The shadowy figure snickers in a feminine tone and sets off to follow out Takeru.
Los Angeles, CA
Takato, Guilmon, Rika, Renamon, Pikkan, Leomon and Jeri were on their search for the monster that has run amuck in Los Angeles. Thus far, they haven't been able to find the creature's whereabouts. However, it has felt a trail of clues including globs of purple slime across the city side. There were even reports of power outages and people being struck down with high voltages of electricity.
"Takatomon. I don't like the looks of this," Guilmon said. "I'm seeing a lot of these purple slime. Yucky…"
"It's probably some clues of the monster we're looking for," Rika said.
"It is, Rika," Renamon stated. "The monster is here, but at what point of location? I'm not too sure. I can't even sense it out."
"What you two? Leomon? Pikkan?" Jeri asked.
"Unfortunately, I have been unable to," Leomon said. "This one has managed to mask its ki. It's definitely in stealth mode."
"Just what we needed. If only that bastard show himself out here and soon," Pikkan scoffed.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves, Pikkan. We sometimes have to rely on our wits when it comes to finding our enemy," Renamon suggested.
"Ha! Maybe I can sniff him out! That always works out," Guilmon said.
"Ugh, why didn't you just say that sooner?" Takato muttered. "Ok, Guilmon. Put that nose to work."
As soon as Takato gave him direct orders, Guilmon proceeded to sniff out the scent of the hidden enemy. Much to everyone's dismay, they knew that this would be the only accurate direction to finding the concealed enemy. The digimon couldn't even sense out the monster's ki. The enemy was well prepared for the Tamers' arrival.
With the Tamers trailing along on the search for the monster, the perpetrator was perched far off on a power line post. The feathered-reptilian beast looks on from the far distance and kept his eyes on the crew.
"That's right, children. You're stepping into exactly where I want you."
Shinjuku Cemetery
Ever since Ken's body was stolen from the hospital, Davis has been out on a warpath after being told that a monster's whereabouts was close within a cemetery in Shinjuku. Accompanying him were Veemon, Sonja, David, Sam, Yolei, Hakwmon, Wormmon, Impmon and Calumon. But that was not all. Kazu, Kenta, Guardromon and Marine Angemon were there with them as well.
Davis walks across the cryptic cemetery with his D-3 in hand. He growls deeply after realizing that his best friend's corpse was stolen by perhaps one of the seven monsters. He was bell bent on taking out the perpetrator. Everyone couldn't blame him, especially Wormmon.
"Davis. You really need to calm down," Yolei said. "I'm just about as upset as you are, but there's no need to keep it bottled up inside."
"He's our best friend, Yolei. Yesterday has to be one of the worst days of my life. Our best friend was killed and kidnapped on the same day. He wasn't even alive to begin with! What kind of a sick freak would steal a corpse?! No, I'm going to find this bastard and find Ken's body. This cemetery is pretty obvious, don't you think?"
"Yeah. I'm willing to bet that one of those seven monsters ran off with Ken's body and is luring us here. But, we'll be ready for him!" Veemon scoffed.
"By the way, did Izzy manage to upgrade you, Sonja?" Hawkmon asked.
"He actually did. I feel a lot better and should aid you guys. David, stay close to me."
"Ok."
"Yesh! Did we really have to come here?! This place gives me the willies!" Impmon complained.
"I'm scared, Impmon. What if a ghost comes out and tries to scare us?" Calumon asked.
"You're asking me?!"
"I don't blame him," Kazu calls out. "Why of all places were we given a cemetery?!"
"I'm going to have nightmares for weeks because of this," Kenta said while shivering from the chill.
"You two should get a grip," Sonja muttered. "Why didn't you just stay home?"
"Because, we figure you guys could use our help," Kazu implied. "There's no way we're sitting out on this opportunity! We're going to help save the world!"
"And stop the monsters!" Kenta exclaimed.
"Couldn't you two be any more dense than you already are?" Impmon wondered.
"Hey! We're no dense! Just tell us what you want us to do and we'll carry through," Kazu said.
"You two can just shut the hell up!" Sonja snapped.
The two boys cowered away into the cemetery as Sonja's eyes became fueled with fire. If looks could kill, Sonja would scare Kazu and Kenta to death.
"Kazu. Never talk back to Davis' wife again," Kenta suggested.
"No kidding, dude. She's even scarier than Rika when she gets pissy."
"Let's get going guys. As soon as we take this monster out, we're finding Ken's body," Davis stated.
As the team journeyed deeper into the cemetery, a dark figure watched ominously with a body corpse held tightly around his grip. The figure smiles a toothy grin and prepares to expand his territory.
"More corpses to add to my collection. Perfect…"
Mushiyori City
Back within the city district, Tai and his crew were observing the streets as they realized that the people did not notice the presence of the feral digimon. There's a good chance that these digimon were invisible to the normal human eye, but Tai and his team were able to see them. This was mostly likely a sign of events yet to come.
"I still don't see how those people can't even see those digimon. Look, they're right there in the open!"
"You forget, Max. Ordinary people can't see them but we can," BW stated.
"Let's keep the chant to a minimum," replied X. "We don't have time to spare."
"Gee, I wonder how Shintomon and the others are faring…"
Outskirts of Mushiyori
Tai's worries were put to rest as Shintomon led his group through the empty outskirts. This was the exact spot where then tunnel was said to be formed according to Gosenzomon's reports. Much to their dismay, there wasn't a single trace of the tunnel to be found or evidence of any digimon emerging out.
"Um, so what's the verdict?" Dimitri wondered.
"So, are you sure this is center of that distortion thing?" asked Palmon.
"I can't believe you had to make me walk all the way out here for nothing," Mimi complained.
"Well, I don't see any big tunnel anywhere," Sora said.
"Unless he's invisible, the spell caster isn't here either," Tentomon pointed out the obvious.
"No, you guys. A distortion zone always takes the form of a circle around its creator," explained Izzy. "Right now, we're standing at the circle's center. The spell caster is indeed here, but we just need to think."
"Wow, you really followed through on that one, Izzy," Biyomon stated.
"We're glad to have a geek on our team," Mimi replied. "Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean it in a bad way."
"I'll take that as a compliment, thank you."
"Then if the spell caster is not on the surface, then he has to be below it," Shintomon said. "Plus, we've already stated that our teleportation will not work through their barrier. There's no way through unless the spell caster decides to open it anytime soon."
"Underground, huh?" Sora said.
Suddenly, Shintomon and the digimon felt a slight disturbance from within the area. They turned towards an opposite direction and turned off to locate the 'spy'. Sora, Izzy, Mimi and Dimitri followed them along.
"Hey, did you feel something?!" Izzy calls out to the digimon.
As the digimon crew arrived at the spot, there wasn't a sign of anyone or anything from within the close radius. It looked as though the 'spy' had vanished from sight and left behind nothing but a faint signal.
"There's one thing I'd like to know. What saw us?" Shintomon wondered.
"What are you talking about? Was someone spying on us?" Mimi asked.
"So they already know that we're looking for them," Palmon replied.
"You sure you aren't just being a little paranoid? I didn't see anything," Sora said.
"What does that prove? You'll need more than just eyes to find these enemies," Biyomon replied. "Just leave this to us, digimon."
"In any case, we should play it safe and reconvene with Taichi's group immediately," Shintomon said to the group.
Unknown to Shintomon's team, there was a mysterious human girl looking on through the nearest bushes. She was small in stature and looked exactly like Hikari during her youth. She kept her eyes closely locked onto the Digi-Destined. This was most definitely the being that transmitted that energy signal that Shintomon homed onto.
Mushiyori
Tai's crew was walking across a street while searching for the certain spell caster X had spoken of. Keke held tightly onto Max.
"It's all right, Keke. There's nothing to be scared about."
"Who said I was scared? I just don't like being in eerie places with digimon popping out of nowhere. Plus, these red skies aren't doing me any favors and it's just not a pleasant thing to see."
"Yeah, it sure isn't normal but then again what hasn't been normal these past two days?" Agumon said.
Suddenly, Tai, X, BW and Agumon stopped as they felt presence from within the closest range. There was an energy signal coming from behind an empty lot ahead of them. It looked as if they had just entered the territory of a spell caster. Perhaps it was the one with the mind-reading abilities.
"Did you just feel that now?" X asked.
"Let take a guess. We just entered one of these territories you were talking about?" Tai asked.
"What are they talking about? I couldn't even feel anything," Max said. "Oh, wait. Now I feel it."
"Me, too," said Keke.
"It could be the one we're looking for," BW said. "He must be in that parking a lot. Come! Let's go and check this one out!"
With that said, Tai and Agumon took off first with everyone else trailing along. The leader stopped right by into the empty lot and pushed the gateway fence door open. He looks across to find a dark-haired and pale-skinned man with a purple trench coat. This was the same man who had a creature removed from out of his body by Saitou recently. This is Yukio Oikawa.
"Hey, you! Are you the spell caster?!" Tai calls out to the man.
"Wha…? Who are you?! What do you want from me?!" Oikawa asked frantically. "Stay back!"
The pale-skinned man fell back and started to squirm away. He looks like he had just recently seen a ghost. As soon as Agumon came into view, the man panicked in fear.
"Hey, what is his problem, Tai? Is he the spell caster?"
"Probably so. Hey, mister! Calm down!"
"Stay away!"
Just as X and the others arrived at the scene, Oikawa stopped screaming. X walks through the gateway door and advances toward Oikawa. The man attempted to scurry away on his knees but X placed a finger on the man's forehead.
"Yukio Oikawa. I presume? Yes, you are the one we are looking for. Just recently, you've just gained the special ability to read minds."
"How… How did you know?"
"Well, ever since this whole mess with tunnels being forged open and monsters being unleashed on the planet, I just came to realize that certain humans have now gained special abilities. Don't know how, but it just happened."
"What do you want from me?"
"We want you to help us track down another spell caster," BW suggested. "We're looking for the one who's been behind the opening to the Dark Realm."
"Why? What purpose do I have in this?"
"You'll help us a great deal since we can't even put a trace on the guy himself," said Tai. "So you either help us or we're stuck looking for this psycho the hard way. Believe me, I'm not the type of guy who has the patience for it."
"I don't know if I can…"
"Please, you could really help us out. You specialize in mind reading. So why not put it to good use?" Max suggested.
"Even a child like yourself is getting involved in this mess?"
"Of course. I'm always going to be aiding my father and my friends. Just because I'm a kid, that doesn't mean I can't lend a hand. If kids like me and Keke can volunteer, then you ought to be able to."
Oikawa thought this through as Max's words finally shed new light on the situation. Would a boy manage to revive Oikawa's confidence after being completely taken over by a creature inside of his body? He doesn't quite remember what had happened with him since that event.
"So, what's it going to be, Mr. Oikawa?" X asked. "This kid really brings up a good point. If a boy can lend a hand to a good cause, then you should ought to as well."
"Fine, you've managed to arouse my curiosity. It's interesting to know that there are other spell casters out there besides myself," Oikawa said. "Please, tell me what I need to do."
"Of course, but we'll need to be at a more open location," BW said. "Like where there's a large crowd of people. You should be able to read the minds of masses."
"I'll try…"
"No, there is no 'try', Mr. Oikawa. We have to succeed and we have to know who our enemy's identity is," said X. "If we don't find him, then we won't know who to set our attack on."
"Wow, Max. You really seem to bring the confidence out of people," Agumon said.
"I know. I'm really good at it… I guess…"
"Guess, huh?" Tai said. "We'll see about that…"
Later that day in the center of Mushiyori
After a long walk down through heavy crowds all across the streets, Tai's group managed to find a cement seat alongside many other benches near a bus stop. Tai and X sat down next to Oikawa while the spell caster was beginning to probe every thought from the people around them. Max, Keke, Agumon and BW stood in guard to search for anything suspicious.
So far, there wasn't anything of important that has caught their attention. Oikawa was still probing through every available human mind possible.
"Mr. Oikawa? So, how big is your territory?" Tai curiously asked.
"I'd say about thirty meters in radius or more," the older male replied. "I can hear the voices of people within that area the same as if they were holding a conversation."
"That's nothing new," Tai said. "Us, fusion warriors could do that."
"Yes, but the foe we're looking for has succeeded in preventing us from reading his thoughts. I thought its make more sense to find and use another spell caster to do our bidding," X explained.
"I see."
As soon as their conversation ended, Oikawa instantly picked up on every single thought from across his developed territory. Some were negative and many others were simply mental conversations.
"Damn, I could sure use some weed right about now!"
"That guy's creeping me out!"
"Die, you idiot!"
"There's another test today?! I'll just have to skip out on it!"
"Ugh! That guy is like so ugly!"
"Whoa, that woman has got big boobs!"
"The stronger the thoughts of the people around me are, the louder their voices sound to me," Oikawa said. "It'll be as though that one person is shouting out."
"Ok, that means you can check everyone that passes by here," Tai said.
"Let us know if there's anyone thinking something inhumane," X instructed the mind reader. "I'll help you along, but only you can find the culprit."
"Very well."
"Just don't show it on your face and don't meet their gaze either," BW stated. "The enemy has plenty of ability in their arsenal."
"That's right. 'He' will undoubtedly realize that he is within your territory," X continued on.
"Yeah, okay…"
Oikawa proceeded to go along as planned and probes through every available mind that passes by. Every man, woman and child are prime suspects in the situation. Either one of them could very well be the mastermind to the whole plot. Max, Keke, Agumon and BW kept their eye out.
"Well, how about it? Haven't you found anyone yet?" Tai asked.
Just then, X and Tai noticed Oikawa feeling a little uneasy. Sweat was started to pour down the man's face and his face contorted with fear.
"Mr. Oikawa?"
"Yes… There's someone… someone there… this guy's terrible…"
Oikawa held his face and started to squirm in absolute tear. Laughter was echoing from the background. A deep, cold and sinister voice was speaking through his mind. The thought of death and torture was coming from the culprit.
"I'll kill them all… Women… Kids… Sickly old men… Until every foot of dirt is a grave. Then I'll stack them on top. I'll kill them. I'll kill them all. I'll kill them all. I'll kill them all. I'll kill them all. I'LL KILL THEM ALL!"
As soon as the voice faded, Oikawa lets out a horrifying scream and sits up from his stand. The crowd of people stopped as they looked towards Oikawa and wondered about the sudden commotion. Tai held down Oikawa and closed his mouth.
"Shut up or they're going to find you!" Tai snapped.
"I'm sorry. I can't take it. The voice is too loud, but it's quiet too. Savage… Dark… Please, I've had enough of this!"
"Don't you worry, Mr. Oikawa," Max assured him. "We'll handle him!"
"Just leave it to us," Keke stated.
"Right. Just tell me who he is… and don't point," Tai instructed the older man.
"He's coming from the right. Tall guy in black. His hair is slicked back."
As soon as he said that, everyone froze and turned around to find the man that perfectly fit Oikawa's description. The sinister young man stops in place to make eye contact with the group. Tai looks across and gasps in shock. Saitou froze in place with a smirk on his chagrin. Suddenly, a bullet-sized object came hurtling out of nowhere and goes right for Oikawa. Tai jumps out right in front of Oikawa and snares the object in hand with quick reflexes.
"Damn! That was close!"
"Incoming!" Agumon exclaimed.
Another object came shooting out from a different direction and nails Oikawa directly in the forehead. Oikawa manages to let out a grunt as his head snapped back with blood spewing out from his forehead. The man falls back in a dead state. Tai stopped to pick Oikawa off from the ground. Keke covers her face at the sight of the blood.
"How horrible!" Keke screamed.
"Where did those shots come from?!" Max exclaimed.
"From the center but did that guy do it?!" Agumon wondered. "I couldn't even sense any huge ki from those shots!"
"Damn it!" Tai cursed.
Tai turns around and makes eye contact with the supposed perpetrator. The sinister young man grins and sends out a final note to the leader.
"We'll call that my introduction, Taichi Kamiya."
"He's the leader! He has to be!" Tai said in thought.
"Dad! We have to get Mr. Oikawa to the hospital!" X said.
"But what about the guy?!"
X and BW turned around to find that Saitou had vanished from sight. The people within the scene of the crime gathered around in masses as one of them immediately contacted the local hospital for an ambulance to arrive.
Ambulance scene
Five minutes after the call was made, the local Mushiyori hospital had sent out one of their ambulance units to pick up Oikawa. Tai and his group were fortunate to accompany the spell caster.
It seemed as thought Oikawa was going to make it after all since he was moving slightly. Agumon covers his forehead with a wet cloth.
"How is he? Will he make it?" Keke asked.
"I don't know," Max said. "Not many people survive a bullet to the brain, plus that was no energy blast of any kind. Sneaky…"
"You bring up an interesting point, Max," X replied. "But he'll be fine."
"What?!"
As soon as removed the object from under the Oikawa's forehead, X revealed to everyone a small white object that looked similar to an eraser. In fact, it was an eraser from the end of a pencil.
"This is the so-called bullet he took."
"Sure doesn't look like metal," said Keke.
"It's a pencil eraser," replied Agumon. "It's obvious."
"That's crazy!" Tai said. "Damn, score one for old number two."
"So, the guy had his head cracked open by a pencil top?" Keke wondered. "That's not logical."
"That's right. Just call this one a warning shot," BW reminded the crew.
"Damn, these guys are running on stealth here. Our digimon can't even sense them out that well. We're dealing with a kind of enemy here, plus we still have those seven monsters to deal with," Tai thought.
Elsewhere on a rooftop within Mushiyori
Looking on across the city blanketed over by red skies was the ominous presence of Saitou. His attire consisted of a long-sleeve black shirt with matching color pants and boots. His skin is tanned brown with a fade of orange. His dark hair is slicked back with a curly tip hanging over his forehead. There was a small blue dot similar to an orb on his forehead. Saitou's eyes were slanted and gave off a sinister, eerie effect.
Suddenly, a swift gust of wind passes by Saitou and another figure emerges from behind him. The figure stands up. He, too, was quite eerie in presence despite being a normal human boy. He was wearing white red shirt with a white tee underneath. He was wearing blue jeans and a pair of sneakers. His hair is short and spiked up.
"Hello, Hideto Fujimoto a.k.a. Sniper."
"Taichi didn't follow you as planned."
"No. He kept his cool. I was most surprised."
"Rei Saiba a.k.a. Ice Maker is shadowing Shintomon's group. She's waiting for orders and Taichi's group is entering the hospital. Haze Frogmon has mind-controlled two doctors from the Indian/Chinese border. One of them has been sent at this exact hospital. The other one will be waiting out Taichi's friends at the other hospital. This one doctor should get the job done."
"Two doctors for the price of one? Perfect. Haze Frogmon has done his job. By the way, one of our enemies might be the one we're looking for."
"Is this true?"
"As you call, your good friend, Neo Saiba, has a problem with the anti-Synister barrier. Even if he completes the tunnel, the best destroyers won't be able to cross. We need another spell caster to break the barrier. We may have found on in one of these two groups."
"Who is it?"
"You leave that business to me, Mr. Hideto. Remember, I only accepted you because Neo asked me to. You should be grateful I was able to heal Rei's devastating injuries. In the meantime, let's get rid of the extras. Let's dig a hole, Hideto. Each one of us. Seven graves will be a decent start."
Local Mushiyori Hospital
Oikawa was immediately reading in through Saitou's sinister thoughts and caught on with his small conversation with Hideto. He repeated nearly everything said by the dark human.
"Let's dig a hole, Hideto. Each one of us. Seven graves will be a decent start. Dark Angel, Hideto the Sniper, Rei Saiba the Ice Maker, Mad Doctor, Neo Saiba the Gatekeeper, Sigma, Mari the Game master… that's amongst their names. Hideto is called Sniper and Rei is named Ice Maker. Those were the words that came to his mind."
"I see, but what does it mean?" Max wondered.
"Are those the name of the guys that are making this tunnel?" Tai asked.
"Is that all?" BW said.
"Wait, I don't know…" Oikawa sighed. "That's just what I heard from the back of his mind, like a speech he was preparing. Everything else was just this terrible hatred, and an urge to kill."
"Ice Maker, Sigma, Sniper…" Agumon continued on. "Those have to be codenames."
"Of course," X replied. "More than likely they are clues to each of their particular abilities. By the way, Tai, you did well with that confrontation. You showed some patience. You didn't even start losing it."
"Well, to be honest, it's because I think I was afraid of him. I sensed it right when we met. There's something dangerous about him. It's not even what I sensed to begin with. It's what I didn't sense. No strong ki or incredible power. It's almost as if who I saw wasn't the real thing. If guys like Burizalor and Virus were about throwing the fastball, then this guy definitely likes the curve."
"Correct, and we know he's the type who saves that pitch until the very last inning," said BW. "Whatever power is behind this mystery of his, he won't revert it until he's ready to finish us. The fact that he didn't use his own power to attack Mr. Oikawa tells us that."
"What's that?!" Oikawa exclaimed.
"You have to be kidding me," Max said.
"You mean the guy who was standing there didn't shoot Mr. Oikawa?" asked Keke.
"No. He didn't do anything at all," Tai explained.
"So, you noticed it as well," BW said. "The first shot was a miss and you managed to catch it time, Tai. On the second shot, the angle was wrong. The shot came from five feet to the man's right. Him facing us was just a go signal."
"What?! For whom?!" asked Oikawa.
"So who is the shooter?" Keke wondered.
"Allow me to explain on what we do know," the warrior formerly known as Black War Greymon said. "This eraser has faint ki trace marks. The shooter made it the exact hardness he desired by coating it with ki energy. It's hard enough to break the skin and scare us, but too soft to pierce the skull. It was launched through telekinesis. Seconds after the shot was fired, I tried tracing it back toward its origin, but it's signal was too faint and too far. It was fired from over five hundred yards away."
"That's not anything too impressive in my book," Tai said.
"But for a small faint object coated with a small ki energy, that's an outstanding feat!" Agumon replied.
"Wow, these guys we're dealing with are no ordinary humans!" Max stated.
"Plus, this is all with his mind," said Keke.
"If they are as good as this triggerman…"
"Yeah, I get it," Tai said. "They're going to get in our way and prevent us from completing our task."
Oikawa covers his head and started to whimper in fear. It was obvious that he wanted no more part of this operation and did not desire to contribute.
"No! That's enough!" Oikawa cried. "I didn't ask to join you people! I'm not a hero! I don't want to die!"
Unknown to the team, a sinister figure in a white coat was looking on from on top of a balcony. He set his sights on Tai's group with sheer delight.
"Haze Frogmon. I've found what we're looking for. I'll leave you and my other medical colleague to wipe out the rest of these human filth. I'll leave it to you."
"Yes. It will only be a matter of time before I do away with the legendary warrior. Let's make sure to make Mr. Saitou proud and implement death on these poor fools. Signing out…"
"Yes. I've got you where I want you, Taichi Kamiya," the sinister doctor chuckled.
Indian/Chinese Border. Forest Area
In the middle of a quiet forest, Lobomon led the group through the eerie and beautiful, lush forest. Kazemon and Beetlemon traveled through the canopies. Meanwhile, Loweemon and Kumamon investigated the brushes in their surroundings.
"Damn. Have any of you found anything worth while, yet?" asked Lobomon.
"No way. This monster is doing a good job of concealing himself. It makes me wonder if he knows we're here," Loweemon wondered.
"I wouldn't put it past it," said Kumamon. "Hey, Beetlemon! Kazemon! Do you see anything?!"
"No except that this fog stinks!" Kazemon blurted. "Where is this pollution coming from? I don't see any nuclear plants."
"It's too strange," said Beetlemon. "But, I agree! The air smells like crap!"
"The pollution just might be the right clues to what we are looking for," said Lobomon. "It just might lead us to the right direction. Let's follow the scent."
With that said, Lobomon runs off across the forest with his two comrades following him by foot. Kazemon and Beetlemon traveled out across the canopies. Suddenly, they heard screams from beyond the forest.
"You guys! There's someone crying out!" Kumamon stated the obvious. "C'mon! Let's get there as soon as possible!"
"I agree! This will probably lead us to what we're looking for! Legendary warriors, head out!"
As Lobomon gave command to his crew, they started off through the forest. Just as they reached out into the open, they found that the polluting air desecrated an entire village. Some form of acidic substance melted the village rooms away. The warriors gasped in horror at what they had gazed their eyes upon. There was a pile of human corpses stacked on top of another one. The polluted air infected each of them.
"This is horrible," Kazemon managed to speak. "What kind of a monster would do such a thing?!"
"I don't care who we're dealing! I'm angry enough to tear this bastard apart!" Loweemon growled.
"Monster! Show yourself out here, coward!" Lobomon calls out.
There was a deep laughter echoing from out of a small hut. A pair of golden eyes peered through the darkness. The warriors stood their ground to wait for the first monster to expose himself. Haze Frogmon walks out with a struggling Indian woman in his grasp.
"Yech! So, this is the first monster?!" Kumamon said. "He sickens me even in appearance!"
"So, I assume you're the first monster created from out of Millenniumon's essence?" Lobomon said.
"Precisely right. Ah, it's you, legendary warriors. Though, there's one absence. That's fine. I only need to destroy the five of you to draw your leader out."
"Let that human woman go! She didn't do anything to you!" screamed Kazemon.
"Let this piece of filth go? Ha! You humans are not worth the evolutionary process. You only eat and destroy until there is nothing left but piss!" the beast spoke through Saitou's own philosophy.
"Now, that's just wrong. Look, you let the woman go or we're going to kick your ass. Plain and simple," Lobomon threatened. "For once we defeat you, we're taking back one half of the Digi-Core you're carrying."
"Oh, so that is what you've came for?! Oh, and here I thought you would be rescuing this poor girl from my wrath," Haze Frogmon laughed. "Guess I misjudged you. You aren't heroes. You're simply another band of greedy pretenders seeking for your own desires. Looks like I don't have any use of this human. Down the hatchet you go!"
As soon as Haze Frogmon finished speaking out, Lobomon charges out ahead with his light sabers in hand.
"LET HER GO! LOBO KENDO!"
Haze Frogmon saw his adversary charging forward and instantly vanished out from sight. This caught Lobomon off guard and he immediately turned to be met with a cross right jab against his jaw. The amphibian beasts' force sent Lobomon crashing through several hut homes in the process.
"LOBOMON!" the warriors called out to their comrade.
"See? This is exactly what you're going up against, warriors. You're going to have to give me everything you have to put me down. Tell you what. Why don't we raise the stakes? I'll put his retched woman's life on the line. If you manage to defeat me, not only will the woman be set free but also the Digi-Core will be yours. However, when I win, then I shall consume this woman whole…"
"NO DICE!" Loweemon cries out in anger.
"Hmph, disappointing. I was just going to give you a chance to rescue this poor human. Oh well. Another human death is simply just disposing of another piece of waste and ridding the planet of your kind."
Slowly rising to his feet from underneath the rubble, Lobomon catches his breath and looks on ahead to find Haze Frogmon. The woman struggled against the beast's tight grip. The warriors were held at bay just as Haze Frogmon was about to make his next move.
"Oh how rude of me to not introduce myself. You can just call, Haze Frogmon."
"Looks like I'll need to evolve into Magna Garurumon to beat this monster. Takuya. You guys better hurry. I don't know if we can take this monster alone."
Local Chinese Medical Facility
Takuya, Joe, Cody and their digimon partners finally arrived at the medical facility. They noticed that the gateway was open and security guards were laid out to rest. Takuya rushes over to the fallen soldiers and noticed something peculiar about them. Each one of them had skin covered completely by a green pigmentation. It was as if they were infected by the same pollution around the village area.
"Take a look at this, Joe! I've never seen anything like this!"
"Let me see."
Joe kneels over to the fallen guards. He takes their hand and checks for their pulse.
"They barely have a pulse. If we don't do something soon, these people aren't going to make it."
"We better watch ourselves, too. Our chances of getting infected are very high," said Cody.
"Good idea and what a better place than to check ourselves into that hospital," Gomamon said.
"I'm sure we'll find what we're looking for," replied Armadillomon.
"Then that's where we're heading. Let's be cautious, guys. I have a bad feeling we're not alone and somebody actually knows about our whereabouts," Takuya stated the obvious.
In fact, Takuya was correct on his assumption. There was a sinister white-coated figure holding a small mosquito-like insect. It was coated with a green liquid substance; perhaps it was the viral disease that infected the soldiers.
"Yes, they have entered into the fray, Haze Frogmon. My other colleague seems to have spotted the ones Saitou has been searching for. Surely we cannot fail. We must make Saitou proud by eliminating the human filth," the twisted-minded doctor thought.
Our heroes are dealing with a three-way crisis's. Two mad doctors put under a mind-control, human-possessive killing spell are set to carry out the duty to kill Tai's teams. The mastermind behind this small operation, Haze Frogmon, now confronts Lobomon and the other four warriors in a village. Another mad doctor is watching upon Tai's group. Just, how will our heroes overcome this mess and survive the fray that lies ahead?

((Preview))
Takuya: Hey, this is Takuya Kanbara! Let me give you the run down on what to expect. Two mad doctors and a frog monster to boot! Just what we needed. This is why I hate going to doctors!
Kouji: I try everything I can to lead the team as we take it to Haze Frogmon. When we learn that he's a Mid-B class monster, I'm forced to turn it up a notch and let Magna Garurumon take care of this. But will that even be effective?
Tai: Back in Mushiyori, my friends are in serious crap. We deal with the first of the two mad doctors. Max! You have to get Keke out of here!
Max: No way! I'm staying to fight with you, dad!
Tai: Agumon. We're going to have to do something that even I can't agree with. Taking away the life of another human being.
Mad Doctor: Yes, do you really have the heart to kill another human being?
Haze Frogmon: No! You don't have what it takes! Your human race has also proven to show sympathetic values when it comes to murder! You've spent all of your life killing non-humans and now you're stuck at a tight spot.
Takuya: Tai and I are left to deal with Haze Frogmon's human puppets, but can we really be forced to take the life of humans?
Haze Frogmon & Doctors: If you don't kill us, then the disease and pollution effects will not wear off! You make the choice! Will your own sympathy be your own undoing?!
Joe: Next chapter is entitled…
The Legendary Warriors vs. Haze Frogmon! Killing a Human Being, Reasonable?!
Max: You sure don't want to miss this!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yesh, I really hate to go to the doctor. Needles and I don't get along very well. shudders Anyway, we're just getting down deep into a new concept for the D-Fusion series. Will our heroes have to commit murder on other human beings just to save the planet? These seven monsters have already set their ground rules and are planning to break down our heroes mentally.
I must warn some of you that the direction of this saga will only take a darker turn. If you can handle it, and I know must of you will, then I commend you. Yu Yu Hakusho can really do that to you. But despite that, I've also incorporated the plot of the final DBGT saga. Let's see how these two mesh well together through this series.
Well, that's all for today. I hope to get the next chapter of this saga up soon. I'll try hard to get started on Pharaohmon's Arc Chapter 27 this week. Until then, peace!
Chapter 191: The Legendary Warriors vs. Haze Frogmon! Killing a Human Being, Reasonable?!

Another long hiatus. I'm growing tired of not having time to write my fics. Anyway, here's the long awaited third chapter of my Millenniumon Saga. Our heroes are forced to deal with Saitou's band of human spell casters and the seven monsters! Now, let's get on straight to the action. Enjoy!
It was Millenniummon's reawakening as his shadow form gave birth to seven destructive monsters through Azulongmon's Digi-Cores. They are hell bent on destroying mankind and leaving nothing in their path. Before they had time to react, Shintomon and X had informed the team about another persisting danger waiting in the lurks. Not only were there seven monsters to contend with worldwide, but also there was a tunnel being forged between the real world and the dark realm within the digital universe. The race was now on as four teams were scattered across the globe to find four of the seven monsters. Led by Takuya, the Frontier Chosen along with Joe and Cody set off to the India/China border. Unfortunately, they have come across with two enemies on their path. One of which is a human and the other is the first of the seven monsters, Haze Frogmon. Just what is the connection between these two? Will they succeed in destroying Takuya's team?
Meanwhile, in Mushiyori City, a spell caster is forging a tunnel between the Dark Realm and the real world. Digi-Destined leader, Taichi Kamiya must stop the unknown enemy, but that opening tunnel has given awesome new powers to a few humans. It's hard to know who is friend or enemy. Taichi and his crew have recruited Yukio Oikawa, a mind-reading human. But while trying to weed out the enemies by their thoughts, Oikawa was shot and the criminal mastermind made his introduction. The crew has taken Oikawa to a local hospital. Where new danger awaits.

The Legendary Warriors vs. Haze Frogmon! Killing a Human Being, Reasonable?!
Local Mushiyori Hospital
The mood around this local Mushiyori hospital facility had a eerie vibe to it. Even the crimson skies were enough to creep some of the bravest. Inside, though, the facility was deeming with activity by medical staff and patients alike. Amongst the mass of people inside, Tai and his crew were just discussing the situation with the spell casters' motives.
Oikawa was unnerved by the ordeal while sitting down on a bench quivering in fear. He wasn't in the mood to be continuously interrogated by Tai's group, though it was only for the greater good. Tai stands in front of Oikawa with his arms crossed.
"So then, tell us once again what that guy was thinking."
"I couldn't believe it, but he was saying, 'We'll dig a grave for all people. The seven of us will dig the hole.'"
"'The seven of us…?'"
"Yes. Dark Angel, Neo Saiba the Gatekeeper, Hideto the Sniper, Sigma, Mari the Game Master, the Doctor, and Rei Saiba the Ice Maker."
"Seven names. Those could be their nicknames, right?" asked Max.
"That's right," X replied to the boy. "They undoubtedly have something to do with their abilities, as well."
"Seven humans with abilities," said BW. "The guy who we just saw is probably among them."
"Wasn't there anything else on that guy's mind, Mr. Oikawa?" Tai asked the older man.
"That's all I could get out of the voice of that man's mind that offers any clues. Everything else was just an abnormal bloodlust. He has this urge to kill everyone. He wants every human being dead."
"An abnormal bloodlust?" wondered the masked man known as X.
"Forgive me, but I don't want to die!" Oikawa cries out while grasping the sides of his head. "Why didn't you tell me it would turn out to be this terrible?"
"These are some awful guys," Keke said.
"In any case, we shouldn't let our guards down," Agumon informed the team.
Suddenly, Agumon, X, BW and Tai stopped for an instant to feel a slight disturbance of energy emitting through the hospital. They felt a negative vibe around their surroundings. The whole hospital building became surrounded by shade of orange. It seems as though the group had stepped into a 'territory', so to speak.
"Did you feel that just now?" BW said. "Someone just extended their territory."
"So, there must be someone with an ability in this hospital," replied Keke. "Hey, wait a minute…"
"I-I hear him! It's one of the seven!" Oikawa gasped. "It's the Doctor! He's here! It's a hospital! Why wouldn't he be here?"
"Watch yourselves!" Tai warned his crew. "Don't give him a blind spot! We don't know which direction he'll be coming from!"
With that said, the group gathered together into a circle formation. Agumon, BW, Tai, Max and X put up their guards. Oikawa and Keke remained protected around the four. As the looked around their surroundings, nurses and physicians were helping the sickly around the facility. There was sign of any unusual activity.
Just then, Oikawa and Keke felt something puncture their hands. They winced and looked down to find green mosquito like insects injecting them what looked like green fluid.
"YUCK! What is this thing?!" Keke screeched.
"Keke!" Max cries out.
"Dammit! These things put something in us!" Oikawa exclaimed as he squashed the insect with his hand.
However, that would not save the man. He and Keke felt weakened and fell to their knees. The other five looked on in shock to watch their friends' skins turn green.
"What the hell just happened?! Keke! Mr. Oikawa!" Tai asked.
"I'm… so cold… Max… help me…" Keke shivered tremendously.
"Keke! Stay strong!" Max said as he held the girl.
"My body is starting to ache…" muttered Oikawa.
Agumon walks over and places a hand over Oikawa's forehead. He jumps back and felt a overwhelming burn across his head.
"He's burning! He's got a terrible fever!" the dino cried out.
"What the hell were those things?!" Tai wondered. "Why are they getting sick?!"
"Those were different digimon insects we've seen that are all over the city," X warned the group.
"It's a virus," Oikawa replied while probing the Doctor's mind. "I heard his thoughts! He's going to infect everyone inside of his territory!"
Suddenly, the crew turned towards another direction as they heard the fluttering of wings.
"Brace yourselves!" BW stated. "There's more coming this way!"
"Kill as many as you can!" X calls out.
One by one, viral insects were emerging out from the hallways. The healthy five were throwing out fists to squash the insects. They did everything they could to not only protect themselves, but not to create a scene within the facility. The other people, somehow, were unable to see the insects. A pretty, brown-haired nurse came walking by while taken back by their 'unusual' activity.
"Is there something wrong?" the young nurse asked.
"What?!" Tai turns to face her.
"What seems to be the problem, sirs?"
The nurse did not realize that the viral insects surrounded her yet she was unable to see them. Tai points out to the insects to get her attention.
"Hey! On your shoulders! Your head! They're all over you!"
"Brush them off quick!" Agumon warned the nurse.
The nurse cautiously checked herself and found nothing. Tai's assumption was correct. Ordinary humans were not able to see these 'invisible creatures.' Only those who have made contact with recent, unusual activity would have spotted them. That includes digimon, Digi-Destined and even spell casters.
"There's nothing there. What are you talking about, sir?"
"They can't be seen by ordinary people!" Tai growls. "What's more, these creatures seem to be only after us."
"No! We're going to be done if we don't go all out! But we can't risk getting these civilians hurt!" Max said.
"Our only hope is to find the spell caster who has this ability," said X. "The sickness of these two will only get worse."
"Move out!" BW hollered out.
The four-man crew moved out into the facility while Max stayed to tend to Keke and Oikawa. Tai, X, BW and Agumon headed out into the facility. The nurse attempts to stop them from running across the hallways.
"Lady! Please go help with my son tend to our friends," Tai calls out to the nurse.
"No running inside the hospital!"
Tai and his crew sped off down through several corridors as the viral insects were hot on their trail.
"Tai! I hope you realize that there is more than just doctor in this hospital?!" Agumon asked.
"You got a point. Fine then. Let's just clobber every doctor in the hospital," Tai replied.
"Wow, that's real genius!" BW stated.
"But there is no other choice," replied X. "I can't even seem to sense this guy's ki. Normal humans, even spell casters, have very weak ki compared to our everyday enemies."
"Let's just not beat them to death," Agumon said.
"Right!"
"I say we should split up into three. Agumon and I will head off while you two split up," said Tai. "This hospital is pretty huge!"
"Both of those guys' sicknesses were spreading abnormally fast!" said BW. "Let's do it!"
"Like we have any other choice," replied X. "Remember, when you find the guy with the ability, send out a distress signal or make some noise."
"I call dibs on the first floor!"
"Good pick, BW! Agumon and I will get second!"
"The enemy may not be a doctor from this hospital. Grab a nurse, and have them look first for doctors that they are unfamiliar with," X stated.
Agumon grabs Tai and uses his teleportation technique to send them up to the second floor. X took the stairs in order to reach up towards the top floor. Meanwhile, BW continued his rush down the first floor. He stops just in time to find a blonde nurse walking out.
"Hellllo nurse! Here comes BW! Though, you're not as hot as Renamon. Now that's a foxy chick!"
"Sir? May I help you? You should know there's no running in the hospital."
"M'am! Please, I need your help."
"What is it you want?"
"There's a criminal, posing as a doctor, inside this hospital," BW warned the nurse.
"What?"
"Hurry! Come with me, and if there's a doctor you don't know, then tell me."
"Okay…"
"Hey! What's going on?" a man's voice calls out from the other side of the room.
BW turns around to find a man, in his late-twenties, walking down in a white coat. He approaches BW and puts a hand on him.
"Why are you harassing my staff?!"
"Ah, Doctor Akira. This man was saying something awful."
"Who are you? Leave, before I call the police."
"Yeah, you better call them, white coat! There's a dangerous person in this hospital! He could be posing as one of the doctors here! You have to believe me! Some of my comrades were injected with pathogens by this guy, and are in danger! If we're going to stand around here, every one in this hospital will be at risk!"
"Sir, I take all threats seriously. Okay, I'll come looking with you. Now let go of the nurse."
"Pardon, miss. I don't ever get like this…"
BW moves away from the nurse and starts to head out the door with the doctor.
"Besides, I know every doctor and nurse in this facility," Doctor Akira told BW. "If there's a doctor I haven't seen, I'll you immediately."
"Fine, lead the way, doc."
"Nurse, you might want to call the police immediately."
"Yes, but, um… Doctor Akira… Why are you here sir? Isn't today your day off?"
BW stopped frozen in his tracks and quickly turns around in shock. Doctor Akira stops and has a devious grin on his face. Just before BW could react, Doctor Akira's hands became coated with energy and he swiftly pokes across BW's back. His hands moved faster than any gunshot bullet. BW couldn't even react to read off the ki the doctor was emitting through his fingers. BW felt paralyzed from his head and all the way through his back. He collapses backward and couldn't even move a single muscle. The nurse screams out but not long before the 'Doctor' turns around to swing his right hand across the nurse.
"Shut up, idiot!"
However, his swing became a lethal weapon as the ki energy around his hand became as sharp as a scalpel. He slashes her across the chest and watches as the nurse's chest explodes with a crimson mass. The Doctor looks down across his two victims and chuckled maliciously. He kneels down in front of the fallen warrior.
"You can't even move your arms, legs or even raise your voice. I've paralyzed most of your muscles that you can move voluntary, after all. You can't even summon forth any ki in the meantime. My ability allows me to cut through human flesh like a scalpel with just my bare hands."
"Tai! Agumon! Can you two hear me?! Yes! At least I can still send a distress signal telepathically!"
"We will eliminate every last person who would stand in the way of our wishes," said the Doctor.
Suddenly, the door opened and this time a red-haired nurse walks in. She stops and lets out a scream.
"Help!"
Elsewhere within the facility, Tai and Agumon stopped to hear the scream of the nurse. Agumon quickly picks up onto BW's distress signal.
"What is it, Agumon?!"
"It's BW!"
"What is he saying?"
"Agumon! Tell Tai that I've found him! I've find the bastard we're looking for!"
"BW's found him!"
"You know the drill, buddy."
"Gotcha."
The reptile grabs hold of Tai and places two fingers on his forehead. With that done, he teleports himself and Tai to the exact location where the Doctor is currently positioned.
The red-haired nurse was in a state of shock over the scene. Doctor Akira points out towards her.
"Don't just stand there, nurse! Call the police! There was a suspicious man that just ran out of here! There's a criminal in this hospital posing as a doctor!"
"Yes, Doctor Akira!"
As the nurse ran out of the room to warn the facility, the Doctor lets out a sigh of relief. His cover was nearly blown had he not created an excuse at the last minute.
Top Seventh Floor of Hospital
X stops and quickly feels out the Doctor's territory over the entire facility.
"Every last corner of this hospital is enveloped in this guy's territory! This enemy possesses a fairly widespread territory. I can't let my guard down!"
Ground level floor. Medical room
Doctor Akira snickers over his fallen victims and sits up to walk out towards the door. However, he was stopped at his tracks as he came into contact with none other than the dynamic duo: Tai and Agumon. The Doctor leaps back in utter surprise.
"You! How did you get in here?!"
"Didn't think the Doctor would look like a total wimp," Tai said. "So, this is the guy, Agumon?"
"He looks suspicious enough! Look! It's BW!"
"Hey! What are you doing lying on the floor?! Get up and kick this guy's ass!"
"Agumon! This is the bastard you're looking for! He paralyzed my body using a ki technique with his hands. I wasn't expecting him to catch me off guard! He just slashed up this nurse and I'm sure all the staff will eventually become infected by those bugs by now!"
"Tai! BW just sent me a telepathic note!"
"And the verdict?"
"This is the guy we're looking for! Isn't that right, Doctor?!"
Doctor Akira simply stood his ground and chuckled to himself. There was no use in trying to cover up anymore. The game was over and he was set to get serious.
"Change of plans, my friends," snickered Akira. "I'll kill every person in this hospital."
With that said, the Doctor came charging forward with his right hand becoming coated with the ki scalpel. He slashes across in order to do damage on Tai. However, Tai reacted quickly and leaps out to the side with Agumon joining him. Tai turns to face the Doctor with a scowl. Doctor Akira gets up and fixes his coat arrogantly.
"Ah, I wanted to play the gentle Doctor Akira for a little while longer, but Taichi Kamiya, once my identity was revealed to you, I had little choice."
"So, 'Taichi Kamiya' is a household name?"
"Yes, it is. I heard about you from Dark Angel. He said you guys would come to stand in our way, and spoil our dreams."
"Tai. This is a human. Can we really stoop as low as to kill him?"
"If he's involved with that guy and the seven monsters, then yeah. We have no choice…"
Tough decisions were going to have to be made by the dynamic duo. In order to save the people of the hospital, including Keke and Oikawa, they would have to end up killing the Doctor.
City District of Mushiyori
Elsewhere, Shintomon led his group consisting of Mimi, Dimitri, Izzy, Sora and their digimon partners along. They were out searching for Tai's crew and the digimon were unable to pick up on any distress signals. Though they were still a little perplexed by the appearance of the 'invisible' digimon which ordinary people couldn't see. Fortunately, these were the low-level kind that poses no threats.
"Jeez, look at all this! Ick! Digital bugs! I should have brought my bug spray," Mimi whined.
"They're already getting in my roots! Shoo!" Palmon said while swatting them with a flyswatter.
"Let's get serious guys," Izzy said. "My computer tracking system isn't picking up on any threats. These are just low level digimon."
"Who knows? Maybe I can find another Tentomon lady of my dreams around here," Tentomon snickered.
"These are Corrupt insects," Shintomon informed the crew.
"Ah, this doesn't seem to bad," said Dimitri. "I've seen more bugs in a jungle than this."
"It has to be the spatial distortion," Izzy replied.
"Precisely, right, Izzy," Shintomon stated. "It's evidence that things are progressing along faster than anticipated."
"I mean really! This is ridiculous!" Mimi said. "There's nothing more nasty than this."
"So is there anyone following us anymore?" asked Sora.
"Afraid not, Sora," Biyomon said. "He disappeared before we entered the busier side of town."
"I wonder if they stopped keeping an eye on us," said Dimitri.
"My guess is that he could have gone to check on Tai's group," Izzy predicted."
"You mean Tai?!" the girls asked.
"This is Taichi we're talking about here," Shintomon shrugged his shoulders. "If the situation has gotten as bad as this, then there can be doubt that he met up with those guys and their abilities right away."
"Relax. I know Tai will pull through. He has X, BW, Max and Agumon with him. He can just simply take those spell casters out," Sora assured the group. "Piece of cake…"
"Let's not be so sure. These enemies are humans," Biyomon said. "At least, we think they are…"
"In any case, let's hurry and meet up with Tai and the others. My sister is with them. I just hope nothing has happened to her," Dimitri said.
"He's right! My daughter is with them! Let's get going! Move it along!"
Mimi races off ahead like a track runner with Palmon and Dimitri hot on their trail. Everyone else was left out in the smog just before they caught up with the fleeing woman.
"For someone who hates exercise, she can really run fast like an Olympic runner! She might as well be the golden medallist for Japan," Izzy thought. "Geez, if she can run, then I need to get out more and exercise."
Elsewhere within Mushiyori District
Across the busy city, the crimson skies loomed over the city with a bright, white sun shadowed by dark clouds. Something sinister was in the works and was an indication that Saitou's plans were well underway.
Speak of the devil himself… Saitou was standing on top of a building. He looks off towards the distance and remains motionless as a statue. His predatory eyes were locked on the crowd of people walking across in herds.
Behind Saitou were two ominous figures. One of which was Hideto the Sniper. The other was a shorter, young girl. The girl's hair was brown and she looked exactly like Hikari but her hair had some faint light highlights. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a pink long-sleeve shirt over it. Her stockings were black and reached up all the way to her ankles. A light blue-jean skirt covered her waist and upper portions of her legs. She also wore white tennis shoes and a pair of red clippings in her hair. This was Rei Saiba the Ice Maker. She was the one who spied on Shintomon's crew earlier.
The girl identified as Rei Saiba spoke up as she informed Saitou on the progress of her operation.
"I pulled back as you said, Mr. Saitou," Rei said. "Those are the remaining guys."
"Splendid work, Ice Maker. They've all got such naive looks on their faces."
"What shall we do?" Hideto asked. "Shall I take them out without them knowing?"
"No. Not yet. Their digimon partners and that fool Shintomon will detect you. At this pace, they will all soon enter the Doctor's territory. We'll let him show Taichi Kamiya and the others how we fight against humans. We'll see if Taichi and his crew are willing to fight a human to the death."
With that said, Saitou lets out a maniacal laugh as Rei sighs to herself. She looks back at her fond memories. The mere mention of Taichi was enough to make her shed a tear.
"Oh, Taichi… Sora… I just wish it didn't have to come down to this."
"While they deal with Doctor, I take it Haze Frogmon is set to commence in a battle with some of Taichi's other friends."
"That's correct, Mr. Saitou," Hideto replied.
"Interesting. We'll just see how they handle fighting him and the other Doctor. This will be quite amusing."
Mushiyori Hospital
Within a few minutes, the viral insects were infecting nearly every medical staff and patient. An insect put down even the nurse who was told to call the police. The Doctor's plans were going accordingly to his will.
However, X wasn't about to take this lying down. He took out his frustrations by blasting away every insect with ki blasts. There wasn't any civilians to get in his way and thus would allow him to go all out.
"Damn! What the hell is going on in this hospital? This is why I hated doctors and needles!"
Elsewhere within the facility
Doctor Akira was surrounded by a mass of his precious viral insects. He picks one up and strokes it carelessly. Tai and Agumon were sickened by the man's love for deadly weapons.
"With another one of my abilities, I can make the people within my territory ill, using viruses created by my own mind. The viruses my mind creates are powerful. These insects are my carriers. Death comes all more quickly to those with weaker mental faculties. Your friends, the first ones to be injected, have no more than thirty minutes, I'd say."
Those comments alone were enough to set off Taichi's anger. Like a bull charging against a red cape, Taichi brings himself forward with a fist held out. For the first time, Taichi was relying on himself rather than wasting energy on a psycho with a death wish.
"You're going to regret saying that one!"
"Tai! Be careful!" Agumon warns his partner.
Doctor Akira was immediately caught off guard and was unable to defend from the oncoming onslaught that Tai was about to unleash. Taichi unleashes a rapid barrage of fists that connect with the Doctor. Punching faster than even the Flash or a professional boxer, Taichi was dealt devastating blows directly at the Doctor. He even squashed the viral insects with his fists. The Doctor's head rocked back from every fist shot.
"Go, Tai! Go, Tai! Knock him out!" the reptile encouraged his long-time partner.
"I'm writing an advice for you bad guys!" Tai cries out angrily while continuing the onslaught. "It's called Don't Piss Me Off!""
Tai delivers several more punches against the Doctor's face as blood splattered onto the floor. Each punch was taking its toll on the Doctor. Tai can say his gratitude to Agumon since his experience as Omega X has allowed Tai to being a stronger fighter in human form. This was one of the rare occasions that Tai wouldn't need to use Omega X to bail him out of jam.
With a mighty uppercut, Tai sends the Doctor crashing back through the door. The Doctor lands onto the ground with his head slamming onto the floor.
"That's the way to nail him!"
"I've learned from X about you spell casters. You lose your powers when you become unconscious or fall asleep. So go to bed, doc."
However, the Doctor wasn't going to take this lying down. Literally. He smiles deviously and speaks out.
"No time for sleep…"
The Doctor leaps back onto his feet swiftly and moves past Tai. He runs down the hall and cackles loudly.
"I'm working a double shift, Taichi!"
"Hey, get your ass back here! Agumon, let's move it!"
As Agumon runs out of the room, he follows Tai to give chase to the mad doctor.
"Catch me, if you can!" the Doctor taunted the duo.
"Dammit!"
The Doctor runs down along the darkened hallways, but Tai and Agumon were in hot pursuit of the psychotic white coat. Akira found himself running across into a pitch-black hall and steps through to go into hiding. Tai stops and slowly walks through the dark hall. Agumon picks up on Akira's location and puts up towards the ceiling. Tai turns and gasps to find Doctor Akira lunging down at him.
"Clever, doc!"
"Yeah! You're pronounced dead!"
Akira uses his ki scalpel in attempt of slashing across at Taichi. Fortunately, Agumon moves Tai away using his teleportation at the last minute. The slash went across the hallways while leaving a dissected trail across the floor and walls. Windows were also starting to crack open because of this.
"Tai! Incoming!"
The Digi-Destined leader turns around to find the Doctor running across with his ki scalpel. Tai moves to the side to avoid being dissected by the mad man. Akira continuously attempts to slash at Tai at any given opportunity, but Tai's superhuman abilities inherited from Omega X allowed him to maneuver from each slash. Tai even bent down, Matrix Style, to avoid becoming hamburger meat.
Tai goes down and goes for a leg sweep, but Akira leaps over. Doctor Akira takes advantage of a distracted Tai and slashes at him. Fortunately, he only managed to create a cut across Tai's left cheek. He looks down at his cheek and wipes the blood away. Tai had seen enough and snatches the Doctor's arm.
"Stop messing with me!"
With that said, Tai delivers a punch to the mad man's gut. The force of his punch was enough to force Doctor Akira to spit out a mouthful of blood. After that, Tai delivers a spinning back kick to send Akira sailing across the hallway and against the corner of a wall. However, the resilient Doctor Akira slowly rises to his feet while wiping blood from his lips.
"It won't work with me."
"Judging from you moves and your toughness, you don't have the strength of any normal human, huh?"
"Yet another one of my perks, Taichi. When my ability first appeared, I thought of some ways to improve the functions of the body. I can control the supply of stimulants inside of my brain at will. As a result, I feel no pain at all!"
"Ah, so you've turned yourself into a freak, eh?" Tai said. "With a human opponent, I pulled my punches a little bit. But now it appears that won't be necessary."
Doctor Akira took this comment as a threat and channels his ki to create his Scalpel once again. He points out towards Tai and was ready to slice up his adversary.
"I'll dissect you with my bare hands."
Akira charges forward with his ki scalpel. However, Tai moves out from the side and allows Agumon to unleash his attack on the doctor.
"Do it, Agumon! Don't show him any mercy! Fire!"
"PEPPER BREATH!"
The reptile's mouth widens as he unleashes a fiery blast. Rather than a slow fire blast, this one was launched out like a missile. Doctor Akira saw this coming and managed to dodge to the side. However, he was unable to move his right arm to the side. Agumon's blast incapacitated Akira's right arm and tore it off right off. The Doctor lets out a cry of anguish as the severed stump, where the arm was once attached, lets out a gush of blood.
"Direct hit, Agumon!"
"But I didn't get him all the way through!"
"At least we incapacitated the bastard."
The fiery blast shot through the window and was sent soaring out into the heavens above.
Outside of the Hospital
Shintomon and his group stopped to find the fiery blast from Agumon launched out into the skies above.
"Whoa! If that wasn't a shooting star, then I don't know what to think!" Tentomon commented.
"No! That was Agumon's attack!" Biyomon replied.
"Then, the guys must be really close," Sora said. "There's no doubt that Tai and the others could be caught up in a fight with one of those spell casters. Max and Keke are there with him!"
"Sora's right! We have to see if our children are safe," Mimi said to Shintomon.
"No doubt about it," the higher digimon spoke. "They're in that hospital. So, why don't we go check it out?"
As soon as he said that, Shintomon leads the group down the street towards the hospital. It was only about a few blocks, but they would have to get there as soon as possible. The Doctor will be aware of their arrival.
Mushiyori Hospital
The severed arm plummets onto the ground like a piece of meat. Doctor Akira lands on his feet after leaping away from Agumon's previous attack. He sits up and chuckles to himself despite his right arm being completely chopped off from Agumon's attack.
"I should have roasted that arm right off! Too careless on my part!" Agumon blamed himself.
"Ah, so that's the main attack of Agumon? Pepper Breath, such a cute name for a deadly weapon. I know all about your digivolution forms. Greymon. Metal Greymon. War Greymon. Oh, how can I forget about Omega X? Terra Beam is your main attack, I presume?"
"Wow, you've really done your homework, doc? What else did Dark Angel tell you about me?"
"That you're a dense fool."
"I resent that."
"By the way, that was a warning shot mind you!" Agumon threatened the psychopath.
"Well said, buddy. I'm no longer considering this bastard a human being anymore. Next time, my partner won't miss."
"Impressive. I see now why Dark Angel said not to be careless with you," Doctor Akira snickered. "I have one more talent to show you…"
The Doctor picks up his severed right arm and places it against his armless stump.
"Then again, have you forgotten? My ability is Doctor. Anything I cut, I can stitch back into place."
As soon as Akira said that, he uses his ki energy to easily reattach his severed arm back in place. No more damage caused by Agumon's attack.
"Aw, shit," Tai cursed.
"That's okay. I still have plenty of more juice where that came from. We won't need Omega X for this fight, Tai."
"I wasn't even going to suggest it, but okay…"
"As I have now demonstrated, I can even perform reattachment surgeries on a whim."
Tai and Agumon prepared themselves for the next fercious attack the Doctor has planned for them.
"Now, I think it's time for a dissection, Taichi."
Doctor Akira prepares his ki scalpel and charges forward to attack the duo once again.
"Let's do this, Agumon!"
"Right! No more Mr. Nice Agumon!"
"Fools. I'll cut you up before you even know what hits you. Haze Frogmon. I take it you're taking care of the rest of Taichi's friends in the meantime. Don't let down your guard. We can't afford to fail Dark Angel and Millenniumon now."
Indian/Chinese Border. Unknown Indian Village
Slowly rising to his feet from underneath the rubble, Lobomon catches his breath and looks on ahead to find Haze Frogmon. The woman struggled against the beast's tight grip. The warriors were held at bay just as Haze Frogmon was about to make his next move.
"Oh how rude of me to not introduce myself. You can just call, Haze Frogmon."
"Looks like I'll need to evolve into Magna Garurumon to beat this monster. Takuya. You guys better hurry. I don't know if we can take this monster alone."
"Ha! It seems to me that you fools don't want to negotiate. Very well then. Let's do this the old fashioned way. I have no use for this retched human…"
The sinister amphibian tosses the Indian girl across the dirt, but Kazemon was there to catch her before she hit the ground. The other spirit warriors took battle positions and encircled Haze Frogmon. Loweemon brings out a battle staff and makes the first action course towards the monster.
"We won't let you use these humans as pawns for your sick and perverse game, monster!"
"On the contrary, they are expendable."
"That's enough out of you!" Beetlemon screamed out in rage. "Thunder Fist!"
The beetle man slams his fist into the earth and creates an aftershock tremor, which in turn caused the ground to crack open. Then, a trail of electricity came blazing through and targeted for Haze Frogmon. The monster manages to maneuver away from the trail blaze and phases forward. He immediately stops in front of Beetlemon and lashes out at him with a whip-like tail. The warrior of thunder is sent sailing across through a straw hut.
Kazemon places the Indian girl on a rock ledge and away from the war zone.
"Thank you, Miss Fairy…"
"Just call me, Kazemon. Don't worry. We'll take care of this monster problem and restore your home."
"Thank you…"
"Just leave this to us."
The wind warrior takes off back to the war zone to assist her comrades. Haze Frogmon looks up to find Kazemon flying forward.
"So, you've come back to get you some? You should played smart and walked away when you had the chance."
"And miss my chance to save my friends? Dream on, fatso!"
"Fatso?! That tears it! You had your chance! Now, you will die with these weaklings you call friends!"
"Hey! You still haven't dealt with us yet!" exclaimed Loweemon. "Kumamon! We'll attack at once! Go!"
"Here's a little ice to cool you down! Blizzard Blaster!" Kumamon said while releasing an array of snowballs from his gun.
Haze Frogmon hops away from the snowballs. He even performed a back flip to avoid several more snowballs being unleashed. Kumamon did not like where this course of action was going.
"Loweemon! This is your chance!"
"You don't have to tell me twice."
The warrior of darkness dashes forward and raises his battle staff overhead. As soon as Haze Frogmon looked over his right shoulder, Loweemon slams his staff against the amphibian's head. The monster's eyes bulged out and created a small lump on his head. This was exactly what Loweemon needed. His plan was to incapacitate the monster long to give the others time to attack at once.
"Attack at once! Now! Lobomon! We'll need you!"
"I'm… right on it…"
Just as Lobomon rose to his feet, he dashes forward to aid his warrior comrades. All four were prepared to unleash their patented attacks on the sinister monster.
"Attack me at once? This ol' trick won't work on yours truly!"
"You want to bet on that?!" Lobomon threatened the creature. "Everyone! Now!"
"TEMPEST TWIST!"
"CRYSTAL FREEZE!"
"LIGHTING BLITZ!
"SHADOW METEOR!"
With each attack coming forth, Haze Frogmon puts up his guard to absorb the devastating blows. Once the attacks hit their mark, this gave Lobomon the opportunity to slam his light saber against the amphibian beast's head. Even with a mighty blow against his enemy, Haze Frogmon simply shrugged Lobomon off as if he were an insect and strikes him with his tail. The force of the blow sends Lobomon crashing through the ground.
"You guys! It's not working! We're going with Plan B! We're switching out to beast mode!" Loweemon gives command to the warriors.
"RIGHT!"
As Loweemon rushes over to tend to his hikari brother, the other three immediately switched out to their beast forms.
"SLIDE EVOLUTION!"
"Zephrymon!"
"Korikkakumon!"
"Metal Kabuterimon!"
Haze Frogmon steps forward from the smoke cloud created from the warriors' previous attacks. He looks ahead to find himself toe to toe with the beast trio.
"So, you three had to go through a transformation just to gain an upper hand? When are you ever going to learn? Transformations will not guarantee you a victory. Besides, I don't need some cheap transformation because only fools resort to them."
"Oh yeah? Then, that makes us fools, right?!" Metal Kabuterimon said threateningly.
"Um, JP. You're not helping," muttered Zephrymon.
"I've got this guy! Come and get some, froggy!" Korikkakumon bellowed.
The hairy beast of ice charges forward with incredible power and raises his axes over his head. He brings them forward and went to slam them against Haze Frogmon. The amphibian quickly saw this offensive coming from a long way and successfully dodged by phasing out from the side. Korikkakumon found himself slicing through a rock formation in place of Haze Frogmon.
"Up here, hairy!"
Korikkakumon gasped in utter disbelief once he heard his enemy calling out from above. He looks up and finds Haze Frogmon with crossed arms. The amphibian beast came flying down like a predatory raptor and spewed out a smog-like cloud towards Korikkakumon.
"Have a little taste of my pollution! One inhale from it will immediately weaken you and render you completely incapacitated!"
"Korikkakumon! Don't breath it!" Metal Kabuterimon warned the youngster.
"Oh no! That smog is swallowing him up whole! I can't even make track of him through that nasty fog!" Zephrymon exclaimed.
The ice beast found himself at the receiving end of Haze Frogmon's deadly smog. He felt his body stiffen and become paralyzed immediately following the exposure to the deadly gas. Korikkakumon falls to his knees and coughs loudly for everyone to hear.
"Ha! That serves you right, human! Now die within the smog! The process shall not take very long."
"Korikkakumon! That does it! Over here, turd face! Bolt of Thunder!"
The thunder beast's twin spheres came hurtling towards Haze Frogmon with incredible force. However, Haze Frogmon was able to take the double blows head on and pushes them away. The monster opens his mouth and swallows the twin spheres through his mouth. He immediately swallowed the electric spheres and burped with delight.
"Our attacks are useless on this monster! Shoot, I doubt my wind will do anything to him," Zephrymon said.
"Play it smart and don't bother," replied Metal Kabuterimon.
"But I'm not about to sit here and let him attack him! Take this! Hurricance Hail!"
She summons forth a powerful wind and sends it towards the amphibian. Haze Frogmon puts out his hands to create a powerful barrier to render the wind attacks useless.
"Well, it was worth a shot," the wind warrior spoke.
"Worth a shot?! Ha, you didn't even make your move, petty human girl!" Haze Frogmon cackled. "So, tell me... I wonder where your grand leader is hiding. I hope his trip to the doctor didn't end up being quite a mess."
"Hey, what do you mean, doctor?" asked Zephrymon.
"That's for me to know and you to butt out! As a matter of fact, you two will be joining your hairy friend! Sayanoora!"
Just as Haze Frogmon was prepared to unleash his attack, a massive wave of blue energy came targeting for the beast. He turns to find a wave of energy taking the form of an Arctic wolf. This one was purely light blue and had red eyes shining through like a demon possessed. Haze Frogmon looks on ahead to find Lobomon, or at least a Lobomon-look alike. This was none other than Beowulfmon, the A-Hybrid of Lobomon. It was still Kouji taking on a new form and unleashing a powerful new attack.
"FROZEN HUNTER!"
"Ack! What is this?!"
"Ebony Blaster!"
Haze Frogmon looked out from opposite sides to find two attacks sailing towards him from opposite directions. Beowulfmon's attack plowed right through Haze Frogmon to deal him quite a decent amount of damage, but the attacks merely gave the amphibian a few bruises. Kaiser Leomon came out of the shadows to unleash his own attack on Haze Frogmon. The beast screamed out as he was being sent skidding backwards on the ground.
"Way to go, Kouji!" the dark lion growled.
Beowulfmon merely gave his brother a thumbs up and pointed out his fist towards Haze Frogmon.
"Now you shall be purified by the light, creature of darkness!"
"Is that so? Well, if I'm not shaking in my boots! Not!" Haze Frogmon screamed out. "I won't go down that easily… AIR POLLUTION!"
With that said, Haze Frogmon widened his mouth to spew out large quantities of poisonous smog. The warriors held their ground while doing everything they could to avoid contact with the deadly poison fog. Meanwhile, Korikkakumon was still trapped inside one smog cloud. His body was aching and energy was being drained from his body. These side effects were merely a small dosage of what's to come.
Beowulfmon had his mind off the battlefield since he was showing concern for Takuya and the others. He has no idea of the fact that they could be watched upon by the 'doctor' the amphibian spoke kindly about.
"That was close, but I wonder about Takuya," thought Beowulfmon. "I just hope he and those other two become aware of what's going on! This was mostly likely a set up to split us apart. Well, I'm not about to have any of it! Haze Frogmon, these games of yours end here now! Afraid of what I may plan on doing?"
Haze Frogmon levitated from the ground but looks up ahead to find Beowulfmon being accompanied by Zephrymon, Metal Kabuterimon and Kaiser Leomon.
"I didn't ask for your help, guys," Beowulfmon said.
"You're not going to count us out of this one, brother," replied Kaiser Leomon.
"Yeah, besides, we're a team. That's the only option we have if we hope to defeat this monster and take the halved piece of the Digital Core he is carrying," said Beowulfmon.
"There's no chance you'll be taking my Digital Core. I earned this one and I will not tolerate those who will want to escape with it," the amphibian chuckled.
"I wouldn't be chuckling now, froggy. You're greatly underestimating the power of the legendary warriors. Takuya will not let us down and will return to help us deal with you."
"Those are quite big words from small little turds," Haze Frogmon said.
"First Korikkakumon's been taken out by that damn frog's poisonous smog! Now, we have to deal with this psycho!" thought Beowulfmon. "Takuya… Wherever you are, hurry it up and get your ass back down here! We could use some help right about now…"
Beowulfmon takes out his double-edged sword and brings it forward to strike the beast.
"Let's get this over with, froggy!"
"Kouji! Be careful!"
"Don't worry my brother. I have this one in the bag. We'll draw this out until Takuya and the others get here…"
"Heh, that's if they manage to surprise their doctor's appointment," the beast said in thought.
Local Chinese Medical Facility
Meanwhile, Agunimon, Joe and Cody were patrolling the hallways of the abandoned facility. Or at least it was abandoned. There had to have been some form of commotion to cause people to flee from the facility. Whatever the cause may be, Agunimon and company were sure to find it.
"Gee, what could have caused everyone just pack up and leave?" Agunimon wondered.
"They might have encountered one of the seven monsters and fled from the scene," replied Cody.
"Or worse."
"Look. There's a reception hall down just ahead," Joe pointed out.
"Ah, we just might find some clues there," said Gomamon. "I hope they at least left some grub. I'm starving."
"Let's stay serious here," Armadillomon said. "Though, I have to admit. I need to have something in my stomach."
"We'll be sure to find some food as soon as we find the monster we're looking for," replied Agunimon.
Suddenly, there was a swift movement from behind the curtains. The digimon immediately picked up on the vibrations.
"What is it, Gomamon?"
"I just felt something move," the marine mammal said.
"He's right. We're not alone in this room," Agunimon replied.
"Stick close together everyone," ordered Armadillomon.
"You don't have to tell me twice, Armadillomon!"
With the digimon forming a circle around Joe and Cody, they put up their guards while seeking out for their enemy. Agunimon turns around and finds a figure running through the curtains. He dashes forward and throws out a fist of fire.
"There! Flame Fist!"
The warrior sends out an array of flam waves towards the curtains and sets them ablaze. The perpetrator emerges out of hiding and exposes himself to the team. He was a mere human with dark hair. The man was wearing a white coat and pants. It was quite obvious the man was a certified medical doctor for the facility. But the question was why was he the only one found within the facility?
"Hey, you! Were you just spying on us?!" Cody asked.
"Look, he's a certified medical researcher for this facility," Joe said. "But why would he be hiding from us? I wonder if he knows something we don't."
"Yo, doc! You have some explaining to do!" Agunimon cries out threateningly.
Rather than give them any explanation, the white coat runs forward and lashes out at Agunimon with hands coated with ki similar to Doctor Akira. The fire warrior managed to maneuver to the side. The doctor leaps forward while grabbing Agunimon by his shoulder.
"Hey!"
"You don't deserve answers, human! Now, die!"
"Marching Fishes!"
"Diamond Shell!"
The two rookies managed to save Agunimon at the knick of time before the doctor dissects the warrior. The doctor sidesteps their attacks, but was too late to dodge Agunimon's assault. The fire warrior throws out a fist, which connects with the doctor's face.
"Back off, doc!"
The doctor is sent flying through the wall and left buried under a pile of wall debris. The digimon rush out to find the doctor underneath the rubble.
"What was his deal?! He was acting out aggressively on Agunimon," said Cody.
"He's no doctor. That's for sure," Armadillomon replied.
"No, he's a doctor all right," Joe said.
The fire warrior turned towards the direction of the doctor and came to the realization that the doctor wasn't what he seemed to be. In fact, he barely could sense a ki from him.
"Whatever he it. He's no doctor nor a human," said Agunimon.
"What? But he clearly looks human," retorted Cody. "You can't just take the life of another human!"
"That's because he's not human. If he were human, I wouldn't even think about killing him."
"Something just occurred to me!" Joe said. "We were most likely lured here just for the monster to take advantage of the others!"
"That has to be it! This guy is just a distraction," Cody replied. "It doesn't matter if we take this guy out since the monster is the true carrier of the viral disease going around here."
"Then, I better take matters to my own hands," Agunimon said. "Stand back. This just might get messy."
The warrior stands out in front of the crew and prepares to unleash an attack on the pseudo-human.
"Tell us! Where is your accomplice?! We want to know which creep you're working for!" Agunimon calls out.
The 'fake' human gave no reply to Agunimon's demands and charged towards the warrior. Agunimon didn't hesitate to dash forward and unleash a fiery wave that stopped the fake human in it's tracks. The human's body exploded into a packet of data, which dispersed around the room. Agunimon pulls out his D-Tector and captures the dispersing data.
"Now that's been taken care of. Joe. Cody. Can you guys stay here to watch over those sick people we've found? Joe. I'm sure you can use of that medicine to sustain them for the time being."
"Sure, thing, Takuya!"
"Armadillomon. Gomamon. I say we go and help our friends with that monster," Agunimon said. "There's a good chance that they've already confronted it by now."
"You just lead the way," the digimon pair replied.
"Well, first, we have to know where they are currently engaged in battle…"
As soon as Agunimon said that, there was a massive explosion miles away from the facility. The digimon picked up on the explosion.
"Well, we don't have to go look for them anymore," Gomamon implied. "They just gave us the pinpoint location."
"Good luck out there, you guys. Don't worry. Just leave with these people with us," Cody said. "Armadillomon. You be sure to watch their backs."
"You know I will."
"All right! This will require us to level up," Agunimon said. "EXECUTE FUSION EVOLUTION!"
Just as Agunimon calls forth the power of his spirits, he quickly was transformed into a winged warrior.
"Aldhamon!"
Now, the two rookies underwent their evolutions straight into their champion/ultimate level forms.
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon! Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
"Armadillomon shinka! Ankylomon!"
"Let's head out and hand that monster's ass on a silver platter!" Aldhamon calls out. "There's no time the lose! Hang on, guys! We're coming!"
With that said, Aldhamon flies out towards the canopies of the forests. Zudomon and Anklyomon were not too far behind as they charged through the forests. The direction would eventually lead them to the same Indian village where the battle with Haze Frogmon was taking place. Time was of essence especially since the remaining spirit warriors were in a tight struggle with the Millenniumon-influenced beast.
"I can sense that monster's power. It's strange, but something tells me that the guys don't realize what they're up against. If the monster is the carrier of the disease, then destroying him will restore everything in this territory. No time to waste!"
Mushiyori Hospital, Japan
Tai and Agumon stopped their ground while listening to another one of Doctor Akira's insane preaching. They were sickened over the fact that a normal human being would sell his soul to destroy the lives of innocent lives, especially those of his own kind.
"You know. The way I think about it, each person's ability is closely related to that person's likes, personality, and environment. While I have the abilities of a doctor, what I am doing is murder. It appears that I'm more suited to doing this than I am to my real occupation as a doctor. In other words, I use my gifts to kill."
"Oh that we agree on," Tai implied. "You are one of the seven, aren't you? Not the monsters, but the seven human accomplices. So which one of your friends is pulling your strings?"
"What's that…?!"
"Really which one? There's Dark Angel and Neo the Gatekeeper, and the Doctor, and so on, right?"
"You even know about that, Taichi?!"
"I could ask you the same thing. You know a few things about us, don't you?"
"Tell me who your other members are! Where do they live? Where is their headquarters?!"
"Heh… Here's my answer!"
With that said, the Doctor charged towards Tai and Agumon with his arm charged with ki. Rather than answering the question, Doctor Akira charged forward to implement an aggressive attack on the Digi-Destined leader.
Agumon manages to pull Tai away from the assault and pushes him away. However, the Doctor was going straight for Tai rather than aiming for the reptile. Tai maneuvers to the side from Akira's ki-scalpel. The doctor maintained his attack and slashes at Tai. However, Tai managed to dodge blow swiftly.
"Hate to break this to you, doc, but this is not my way of questioning!"
Doctor Akira finds himself at a vulnerable spot and left himself wide open. This gave Tai an open opportunity to deliver a strong uppercut against the Doctor's chin. The impact might have broken the man's jaw and it had enough power to send him flying across the empty hallway. However, with strong reflexives, Doctor Akira performs a headstand and leaps back onto his feet with grace. Tai cursed himself while cracking his knuckles.
"Aw, c'mon!"
"Yes, I know. Such a shame, isn't it? Ordinarily, that probably would have hurt enough to knock me out. But thanks to the cerebral anesthetic that I control, I feel fantastic!"
"Why don't you do us a favor and withdraw your territory?!" Agumon demanded.
"Yeah and release these people from their illnesses!" exclaimed Tai. "If you do that, then I won't kill you."
"But you don't intend to let me go, either," the doctor brought up another point.
"That's right. Either way, you're going to prison," Tai stated promptly.
"No, I cannot accept your offer! Once infected by my virus, the illness will continue to progress unless my consciousness is eliminated. And while I'm talking about it, I'm not about to go to prison."
"Then, I really am going to kill you!"
"Oh, you think you can?! You don't understand. I'm neither digimon or a monster. I'm a human. You still think you can kill me, even so?"
Doctor Akira stood as he chuckled to himself with pride. He hoped that his words were enough to freeze Tai in his place and call off his bluff. Much to his dismay, Tai was charging forward with a fist coated with ki that had been lying dormant in his human body ever since being completely exposed as Omega X for many years. The Doctor leaps away to the side as Tai smashes the wall beside the psychotic doctor. His fist was enough to cause the wall to dent and crumble. Agumon came forward and unleashes another fire blast to distract Akira. The Doctor sidesteps the fire blast and looks on ahead at his two adversaries.
"Doc. If it's my only chance, I'll gladly do so, you sick son of a bitch!"
"Is that so? It looks to me like you're wavering."
These words were enough to strike Tai in his heart and freeze him completely in place. A drop of sweat dripped across his face. He was left with only one option and that was to kill the Doctor to save the sickly people and possibly cut off Haze Frogmon's power sources.
Elsewhere within the hospital
X found himself at a precarious situation with a swarm of infected insects ready to bite him. The masked warrior immediately puts up a ki barrier, which quickly extinguished the insects in one full swoop.
"Sheesh! There's no end to these suckers!"
Suddenly, he heard light whimpering coming from behind a door. He immediately busts his way in. Much to his surprise, he found Max sitting by a bed. One reserved for Keke and the other supposedly for Mr. Oikawa. However, Oikawa had suddenly gone AWOL.
"X?!"
"Max?! What are you doing here?"
"I had to find a place to place Keke in. I don't think she's going to make it! Her temperature is rising and won't cool down!"
"We'll find a way to save her, Max. I can promise you that. But, more importantly. Where's Mr. Oikawa?"
"He left, but my main focus was on Keke. I didn't even pay attention to him…"
"You're lying, Max. Where is he?"
"Ok... He went about to find Tai. He was going to warn him something about the enemy."
"Something we don't know about?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, then. I'm off to look for them! You stay here and watch Keke. I'll be right back!"
"Be careful, X! Find dad and help him as soon as you can!"
"I will!"
As X headed out the door, he found another swarm heading towards his direction. He quickly destroys them with another ki blast and searches out for Tai's ki.
"We're all in a bad way…"
Outside of the hospital
Shintomon and his crew were standing outside of Mushiyori hospital. The same haven where an escalation was taking place from within the territory of Doctor Akira.
"All right, let's go!" Dimitri said. "If my sister is in there, then we have to get in there!"
"Wait a minute, Dimitri!" Shintomon replied.
"Huh? Why? We're ready to go!"
"Why hold us back all of a sudden?" asked Palmon.
"Because only he would know what we are going to be up against," Izzy replied. "Right?"
"That's right. From what I can calculate, it's strange. No more strong ki acitivty. It's quiet," the higher digimon spoke.
"Well, now that you mention it, you're right," said Sora.
"What the heck are you guys talking about?!" Mimi asked. "Hospitals are supposed to be typically quiet!"
"No, you don't get it, do you?" Tentomon replied to Mimi. "If that was Agumon's Pepper Breath earlier, then it's strange that there hasn't been action since then."
"What of it, you techno bug geek?!" Mimi snapped at the insect.
"Calm yourself, Mimi," Izzy implored to the woman.
"No! Dimitri's right! My daughter is trapped in there as we speak!"
"As long as she's with Max, she'll be fine," Sora reassured her friend.
"Thanks. That's exactly what I needed to hear."
"We can conclude that the inside of the hospital has become the Territory of someone with an ability," said Shintomon. "What's more, it's undoubtedly the enemy's territory. The fact that there's nobody tailing us any longer backs that up."
"Which means it would be dangerous to go in there inattentively, right?" asked Biyomon.
"That's correct, Biyomon. Especially since Izzy, Mimi and Sora don't have the ability to sense ki. Only myself, you, Palmon, Tentomon and Dimitri can pinpoint any ki or Territory locations."
"Well, we can't argue with that," Izzy said.
"Anyhow, I want all of you to stay here. Dimitri, why don't you come along with me?"
"Me, handpicked by the Great Shintomon?"
"Yes, since you have a sister in there."
"You know I won't refuse the offer just to be assured of my sister's safety!"
"It's settled then. Let's go, Dimitri."
"Dimitri, baby. You be careful in there. Make sure your sister is doing all right."
"I will, mother."
"Good."
As soon as the agreement was made, Shintomon grabs a hold of Dimitri's right shoulder and immediately teleports them inside the hospital.
"I just hope those kids will be fine," Mimi prayed to herself.
As Shintomon and Max were inside the hospital, they picked up onto the location. They felt a slight chill and realized that they had entered inside the Doctor's Territory.
"We must have entered someone's Territory! I can feel it!" Dimitri said.
"Let's hurry and find your sister."
"Okay!"
Elsewhere within Mushiyori
Hideto managed to capture a glimpse of Shintomon and Dimitri exploring the hallways of the hospital through a telescope. Standing behind him were Rei the Ice Maker and Saitou.
"It appears they are watching out for the trap the Doctor has set," said Hideto.
"It looks like these guys are a lot sharper than we previously thought," Rei replied.
"That's just fine. Otherwise, what lies ahead would not be so enjoyable."
"But doesn't this put a great load onto Doctor Akira?" the Sniper known as Hideto asked.
"Saitou-san! We should go in there as well and help the Doctor! If he dies, then his connection power ties with Haze Frogmon will wear off. Both will be killed by the opposition!"
"Then, let them die. This will be a good opportunity to get to know the man known as Taichi Kamiya."
"Yes, Saitou-san…"
Rei didn't know what to make of Saitou's comment. Should she continue to follow his path and inflict pain on others just to extract revenge on the human race? She even questioned Hideto, who was considered a friend to her brother, Neo. But, now those two have become followers to Saitou's cause. Rei herself had her life-threatening injuries completely healed by Saitou in return for her services to her cause. After all, a human driving a vehicle caused her accident and that same human did not even bother to help Rei. She would have to follow Saitou's cause to not only please him but also her brother, Neo. However, she is also familiar with Taichi from her time period and did not want to see him suffer.
"Oh, Taichi. If there was only another way…"
Chinese/India Border. Forest area
The Legendary warriors were continuing their struggle against the amphibian monster. Not even Loweemon and Beowulfmon were putting a dent on Haze Frogmon. It was visibly shown that the five warriors were becoming fatigued. However, the monster wasn't showing any signs of letting go.
"This monster is simply too much for us," Loweemon said while catching his breathe.
"I didn't think he'd be this powerful," replied Beowulfmon. "Even my Frozen Hunter will be enough!"
"Why don't you just evolve into Magna Garurumon?!" Korikkakumon suggested.
"If only I had enough energy, plus this guy doesn't seem like the patient type to just stand around and allow me to evolve…"
Haze Frogmon charges forward with great ferocity and slams himself through both Loweemon and Beowulfmon. The brothers were pushed away at different directions. The other three warriors attempted to aid their comrades but were easily brushed aside by Haze Frogmon's strong, whip like tail. Each warrior was laid sprawled with the monster standing triumphantly tall over his adversaries.
"So, this is the best the legendary spirit warriors can hope to offer? I'm beginning to grow bored. And you still haven't answered my question. Where is the sixth warrior?"
"He'll get here. Just you wait and see," Zephrymon growled. "Once he does, you won't be so overconfident."
"Ha! Don't make me laugh! He's no savior! I wonder how long it will take me to drive his face into the dirt! After that, I'll make him lick my feet."
"Hold on! I'm not finished with you yet!" Beowulfmon calls out to the treacherous monster.
Haze Frogmon turns around to find Beowulfmon back on his feet and wielding his blade sword. The warrior's body slowly began to emit a metallic blue aura. He was undergoing his evolution into his mega form.
"Ahh, so you're attempting to turn it up, Beowulfmon? Go ahead and evolve. The result shall be the same."
"We'll see about that! EXECUTE! HYPER SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
Beowulfmon's body started to take on a much larger and stronger form. He didn't even need to resort to borrowing the spirits from the other warriors since his evolution upgrade granted to him and Takuya by Seraphimon.
"Magna Garurumon!"
"All right! That's the way, Kouji!" Metal Kabutiermon calls out. "Now that creep won't be so cocky!"
Magna Garurumon steps forward and points out his cannon blaster towards Haze Frogmon. The monster stands his ground as the warrior unleashes an array of machinegun fire blasts. The bullets didn't even make their mark on Haze Frogmon as he simply stood his ground and remained frozen in place.
"Wha- Why isn't he moving?! He's intentionally taking my shots head on! Is he insane?!" Magna Garurumon exclaimed.
"Insane is my middle name," the monster replied to his adversary. "Now, it's my turn to return the favor."
As soon as he forewarned the warrior, Haze Frogmon phases out. This caught Magna Garurumon off guard and forced him to look about his surroundings. There was no trace of Haze Frogmon.
"Everyone, get together! He's hiding his ki and is preparing for an ambush!" Magna Garurumon calls out to the team.
"Isn't that a little too late for that, my friend?"
Magna Garurumon recognized the vile voice and turns around to find himself in close contact with the beast himself. The monster responds by slamming a rapid array of fists against the vulnerable warrior. He took each devastating blow before succumbing to Haze Frogmon's ruthless ferocity. Haze Frogmon polishes his adversary off by delivering an elbow shot, which sends Magna Garurumon flying through numerous trees.
"This has been nothing more than a complete waste of my time! I was looking for a challenge with the Great Angels' warriors. All I've received were nothing more than pantywaists unworthy of such titles."
"You know something?! I've just about had it with your big mouth!" Loweemon cries out.
With that said, Loweemon charges forward and attempts to avenge his brother's downfall. Haze Frogmon easily saw the dark warrior coming and blasts him away with ki blast. However, he did not halt his relentless assault on Loweemon. Haze Frogmon's mouth widened and unleashes a poisonous vapor gas. Loweemon becomes succumbed by the amphibian's deadly pollution.
"LOWEEMON!" Magna Garurumon cries out. "You bastard! Your fight is still with me!"
"You can't even get back on your feet. Let alone make a dent on me," Haze Frogmon cackled. "I'm going to take away the most dearest to you! Your own brother! Now watch as I melt your sibling into a pile of bones!"
"KOUJI!" Loweemon screams out in agonizing pain.
"I'm coming, Kouichi!"
Summoning forth every ounce of energy, Magna Garurumon rose up to his feet and dashes forward to put an end to the monster's ruthless torture. Just as he even attempted to stop Haze Frogmon, an arrow-shaped fire blast came hurtling towards the amphibian mutant. The shot struck Haze Frogmon and sends him crashing backwards. This gave Magna Garurumon enough time to push Loweemon out of harm's reach.
"Who did that?! Who the hell did that?!" Haze Frogmon roared out angrily.
"Heh. He actually came. It's about time, Takuya," Magna Garurumon stifled with a laugh.
Flying down like a graceful eagle, Kaiser Greymon arrives onto the scene. His fellow warriors were more than happy to finally be rescued by their gracious leader. Well, if he hadn't arrived so late, then the monster wouldn't have whooped them.
"Ah, so you must be their leader," Haze Frogmon examines Kaiser Greymon. "Interesting. I take it you've already taken out the decoy. I'm sure that took your mind off the ball."
"Using human duplicates… Not to mention poisoning these people with disease! What kind of a monster are you?!"
"A really creative one, mind you. What haven't you learned from your own destructive mess, human? Pollution. Epidemics. Outbreaks. Disease. Deforestation. I'm only a representation of your own destructive methods."
"Ok, less talk and more action!" Kaiser Greymon retorted. "I'm not here to be educated by a despicable monster such as yourself!"
"You tell him, Takuya!" Zephrymon calls out in encouragement.
"Foolish humans. Remember, I represent one of the seven monsters created out of Millenniumon's essence! I shall be the greatest monster to ever walk this planet! But in order to accomplish that feat, I must exterminate you legendary warriors! Now, it's time for you to die!"
"Mind if we get ourselves some piece of the fun?!" a pair of voices call out from within the forest.
Haze Frogmon turns around to find a massive hammer being smashed against his forehead. Followed by that, an armored tail swipes at the amphibian beast. The monster is sent skidding across the landscape and towards the poisoned lake.
"Way to go, guys!" Kaiser Greymon acknowledges his two accomplices.
Zudomon and Ankylomon came out of forest landscape. The warriors sighed a great relief. But their celebration was short-lived. Haze Frogmon flips back up onto his feet and possesses an angry scowl over his demeanor. The beast unleashes a primal roar and immediately forms a dark aura. The ground under his feet formed a massive crater. Kaiser Greymon and his crew were prepared to go for another round with the beast.
"I've grown tired of this crap, legendary warriors! Let us settle this! All eight of you against me! This time I won't be holding back!"
"Well then, froggy. Let's have ourselves some fun," Kaiser Greymon replied to the monster's demands.
As the digimon spread out across the battlegrounds, Haze Frogmon sends out an incredible force that knocks each warrior away. This did not budge Kaiser Greymon. The mega came dashing forward with his battle sword.
"That's it, Kaiser Greymon! I knew you would be the last man standing! Bring it on!"
"Heh. Yeah, just keep thinking that, froggy. My crew is not down and out. We have a big surprise in store for you."
Mushiyori Hospital
Doctor Akira had finally gotten through into Tai's head and was relying on crafty mind tricks to throw off the Digi-Destined leader. He suspects that Tai would not lower himself to killing another human being, especially an insane one capable of infecting a mass of innocence with a deadly virus.
"In ten more minutes, those who have been injected with my pathogens will all be dead. Plus, that includes a few of your friends," chuckled Doctor Akira. "The only way to prevent that is for me to pass out. It's either that or kill me. My consciousness must be severed. However, I cannot… be knocked out. What are you going to do then, Taichi? Will you kill me after all?"
"Don't let him get to, Tai. He's just trying to toy with your emotions. He's a human. There has to be another way."
Tai remained silent and ignored his partner's pleas.
"But you've never killed a human, Taichi Kamiya. Isn't that right? It's sure to leave you with a foul aftertaste."
As soon as the Doctor chuckled, Tai managed to speak up and break the complete silent treatment. He was growing tired of Akira's sick and twisted games.
"You're such a nasty bastard. It makes me want to puke!"
"Ah, I appreciate your words of praise!"
Suddenly, Tai gives a head signal to Agumon and points his finger directly for the sick Doctor. His finger was becoming coated with an orange aura.
"Tai… You couldn't be…"
"I'm going for it, Agumon. I've grown tired of these games!"
"Taichi… Don't tell me you're planning to…" Doctor Akira managed to mutter.
"This is another trick I've picked up while being exposed to being Omega X for many years. This time I won't miss…"
"Tai…"
"This time. I'm going to blow your head off."
"Taichi… You're serious…?"
Tai was no longer bluffing and showing any more remorse. The same cocky and fun Tai was now replaced by a focused and determined one. He was going to save his friends and family from this nutcase. The energy was starting to swell and materialize. A tiny orange sphere was forming at the young man's fingertips. Doctor Akira saw through to this and backed away in fright.
"Taichi! You don't want to go through with this! Think about your future! You'll be sent to prison for being a murderer!" the Doctor pleaded.
"Planning out the future has never been my style, you bastard."
Doctor Akira immediately started to run down the hall once he realized that Tai's energy attack was growing in immense size.
"Doctor! I hope you like cremation!"
Suddenly, the door opened up and out came Mr. Oikawa weakly making his way through. Tai saw the man coming in between the hallways and halted his attack.
"Mr. Oikawa! Stay back!"
Doctor Akira took this chance to plot out another scheme as he grabbed Oikawa. The mad doctor applies an arm lock on Oikawa and places a finger ki-scalpel over Oikawa's neck. One false move and Akira would easily decapitate Oikawa on the spot.
"Don't move! Don't you dare move, Taichi! If you do, I'll slice your friend's head off!"
"Tai! We have to do something!"
"I know... Damn it!"
"Quite the complication? Huh, Taichi? Now you have an excuse not to kill me."
Elsewhere within the hospital
Max was still kneeling by Keke's rest bed while taking her temperature. Much to his dismay, the girl's body temperature was still rising to extreme heights. If she continues on in this condition, then she will surely die.
"This isn't looking good, Keke. If only I knew more about medication and healing… Too bad Joe isn't with us!"
Suddenly, Max turned to find a swarm of insects flying in through the creeks of the door. He leaps out and blasts each insect away with small ki blasts.
"Don't you even think about it! I'm not about to lie down and kick the bucket just yet! I won't let you feast on my friend!"
Another ki blast came shooting out through the door to completely disintegrate the remaining insects. Max looks ahead to find Dimitri and Shintomon stepping through the smoke.
"Shintomon?! Dimitri?!"
"Max! Where's my sister?!" Dimitri asked desperately.
Max pointed out to the bed where the sickened girl was resting. The older sibling rushes over to the girls' bed and feels her forehead.
"Shintomon! We have to find a cure to save my sister! She's burning up!"
"My magic won't help to cure Keke. I'm sorry. What Taichi and the others need to do is destroy the one who created the disease, in order to completely cut off it's effects."
"Some higher power you turned out to be! You can't even cure a simple disease! That's my sister!"
"Dimitri! Calm down! Don't worry. My dad will make sure to stop whoever is behind this! Just you wait and see…"
"For your father's sake, let us hope so," replied Shintomon. "C'mon, Taichi. What's the hold up?"
Back from the previous scene.
Doctor Akira was holding Oikawa hostage and was close to pressing his ki-scalpel against the man's neck. This did not suite well for either Tai or Agumon. One false maneuver and it was the end for Oikawa. The man is essential to Taichi, in order to gain more information on Saitou. Plus, Oikawa being dead would only add to the list of causalities on Saitou's hit list.
"You bastard. Don't you even know what the guys you are helping are doing?" Tai asked. "The hole that you're attempting to open is going to draw everything else into it! You think it's funny? Do you think that the Synisters that come in through that hole are just going to sidestep you guys when they run wild?! They're not going to spare you. They're going to kill you and me."
Akira stopped chuckling and went into a slight guilt trip. But not long before chuckling once again and smiling like a psychopath.
"I hope so! I hope they find me!"
"What the hell is wrong with you? You want to die?"
"Taichi, let me give you a little reality check. Everyone goes. You're correct. I want to die. All my life, I've been hard pressed to choose the way I'm going to die. I'm not about to let myself be killed by disease, or by time. However, I wouldn't mind being killed by a Synister. Mankind deserves to go… If they're going to kill all of mankind, then I choose to die atop of a pile of countless dead corpses. Besides, I've never had a purpose in my awful life, but I shall have a purpose in death."
"Then, just die already!" Oikawa cries out.
With that said, Oikawa takes out a bottle of acid and splashes it against Akira's right portion of his face. The doctor howlers out in agony as portions of his skin were being burned off. He looks across at Oikawa.
"You son of a bitch!"
Just as Akira went to slash Oikawa with his ki-scalpel, Agumon was there to save the man by pushing him away. Agumon drags Oikawa away from harm's reach. Now Tai was back where he left off and that was alone with Doctor Akira.
"Curse these devils! They're everywhere!" Akira cried out. "They want to ruin our dream!"
As soon as Akira runs down the hallway, he stops to find X phasing out in front of him.
"What a sad case you've turned out to be," the masked man sighed. "You're not leaving now."
"This is your final warning," Tai stated promptly. "Release everyone from their illness. If you don't, I'll kill you!"
Doctor Akira sighs to himself and finally gives himself in to Tai's demands. He reaches into his coat pockets and pulls out a case of serums.
"Understood. I've been defeated. The fact is, I have a serum. If you inject them with this, they will be spared."
"You better convince me, doc."
"I swear… I swear to you! I really don't want to die, either."
Finally convinced by the Doctor's pleas, Tai slowly approaches Doctor Akira in order to take the serums from him. However, the Doctor had another sinister thought in his mind.
"During the momentary opening I get when I hand this over, I'll kill him. Haze Frogmon. What's this?! Our connection is being severed?! You can't be defeated?!"
India/Chinese forest village
The battle with the first monster was already near its conclusion. Haze Frogmon was being greatly overwhelmed by the legendary warriors and their allies.
"Machinegun Destroy!"
Haze Frogmon turned to find himself caught by an onslaught attack unleashed by Magna Garurumon. Next, Korikkakumon slams his axes against the beast. Zephrymon polishes him off with an array of her Hurricane Hails. Metal Kabuterimon knocks him backwards with his Bolo Thunder. Meanwhile, the warrior of darkness took this open chance to retaliate and shoots off his Shadow Meteor to throw Haze Frogmon off. Zudomon smashes his hammer against Haze Frogmon, while at the same time smashing the dark digicore on the monster's forehead. Ankylomon dashes forward to slam his clubbed tail in order to knock Haze Frogmon away.
"Yeah! Now, time to polish this guy off! I call upon the power of flames!" Kaiser Greymon cries out.
The flame warrior puts his sword out directly towards Haze Frogmon.
"No… No… I didn't even get a chance to…"
"To waste our precious time?! That digicore is coming back to us! Now, rest in pieces, Haze Frogmon! This is for Mother Nature and the people you've hurt! DRAGON FIRE CROSSBOW!"
Kaiser Greymon's fury seethed through the attack and its power was immediately amplified a thousand times over. This wasn't like any of the other Dragon Fire Crossbows he's created. This one was going to be big enough to eliminate the monster in the process.
"NO! YOU CAN'T! I SHALL NOT DIE!"
"You already have met death's doors, monsters. Suffer for your sins…"
The blast slams against Haze Frogmon and completely engulfs him in the process. The beast's body started to break down and rings of data encircled his body. Kaiser Greymon knew what this precisely meant. He steps forward and puts out his D-Tector.
"Creature of darkness. You've been created from Millenniumon's shadow and manifested to cause pain to the innocent. With this D-Tector, I shall scan your code and purify you. Digicode scan!"
As soon as he said that, Kaiser Greymon scanned all of Haze Frogmon's deleted data and collected it into his D-Tector. In place of the once foul beast was a completely purified, halved piece of a digicore. Zephrymon picks the halved digicore and grins with delight.
"That's one down you guys. All we need is the other half, the next set of two halves and the full one."
"Look! The pollution is clearing up!" Korikkakumon calls out.
"And the village is being returned to normal. The people here have been cured!" Metal Kabuterimon announced.
"Then, that means everyone at that medical facility should be fine too," said Kaiser Greymon.
"That's a relief," Magna Garurumon replied. "Well, we've defeated one monster… If that guy was just the beginning, I wonder how everyone else will fair?"
"First things, first. Let's get back to see Joe and Cody," Zudomon suggested.
"Good idea. Let's move out!" Kaiser Greymon calls out to his crew.
Local Chinese Medical Facility
Joe and Cody were relieved to know that the medical staff/military guards were being restored to normal. Perhaps, this was a sign of good things to come for the troubles at Mushiyori.
Mushiyori Hospital. Japan
With Tai approaching Akira, he was unaware of the mad man's trap. He came close to taking the serums. Suddenly, a voice calls out in plea to warn Tai. It was none other than Oikawa.
"Don't be fooled, Taichi!"
"I was just going to say," X said.
Tai stopped frozen at his tracks and turned to face Oikawa. The man had managed to probe into Akira's thoughts at the last moment.
"I eavesdropped in on what that monster is thinking!" Oikawa cries out. "He's planning to spring a trap and kill you! There's nothing but glucose inside those."
Doctor Akira backed away in terror and accidentally managed to drop the serums. He was too late to catch the bottles and found himself at a precautious situation. He had just marked his final death warrant and boy was he going to get it.
"NO!"
"Your last chance just flew out the window!"
"No! I'll kill you for sure this time, you bastard!" Akira calls out towards Tai.
Just before Doctor Akira could even come any closer towards Tai, the Digi-Destined responded by slamming a fist against the doctor's face. He follows it up by delivering devastating blows all across Akira's body like a professional boxer. Only this time he was going to punch the man until he finally dies. Tai was quickly motivated by the sickening threats from earlier on. This allowed Tai to have a good reason to murder Akira.
"Hit me! Hit me! While you do, those who are sick will continue to die!"
Tai takes a stance and quickly forms energy through his fist. He charges forward and aims to deliver a devastating punch to Doctor Akira.
"GO TO…"
Finally, Tai made complete contact with the Doctor's face and slams his ki-coated fist against Akira. The force was strong enough to send Akira flying out through an open window.
"HELL!"
Doctor Akira found himself flying out through a broken window and crashing against the dirt. He lands shoulder first against the dirt and flipped backwards only to land right on the back of his head. This resulted in an extreme whiplash against the man. Akira stops while sliding in through the middle of the dirt mound. Tai and Agumon looked out the window to check on Akira. The man was quivering as if he were paralyzed. He was definitely close to death's doors. Tai felt guilty for something he never planned to commit: taking away another human being's life.
As Akira suddenly lost consciousness or looked to be dead, Oikawa's skin was returned to normal. His sickness was finally cured. The same could be said for BW.
"Look! The effects are wearing off, Tai!" Agumon stated. "That means… Akira must be dead."
"Good. I hope that bastard stays dead," BW growled. "Way to nail it to him, Tai!"
Soon, everyone infected in the hospital were being restored. This included even Keke. Max and Dimitri were relieved by this turn of events.
Tai looked out through the broken window and examines his fist. He couldn't believe as to what he had done. Sure, he's taken the life of digimon and monsters, but never a human being. He will never live with himself for being a murderer. What would Sora and Max think of him?
"Get the police here, quickly!" a nurse calls out from the background.
"I saw it myself!" a patient exclaims. "Why would Doctor Akira suddenly do such a vile thing…?!"
"Damn it… Killing him was the only thing I could do," Tai thought. I had to do it… Keke's life was at danger and I couldn't let Max down."
Suddenly, Tai's mourn fest was over once he realized X put his hand over the fallen Doctor Akira. He healed the man completely with a dose of healing ki energy. The man was restored back to life, though his territory was completely shut off.
"X?!"
"Relax, Tai. I resuscitated him. It's like an electric shock. There's no reason for you to be saddled with this guy's death."
Tai was relieved to hear that from his long-time mentor. He turned to find Sora, Mimi, Izzy and their digimon walking down the hallways. Coming down from the other side were Max, Keke, Dimitri and Shintomon.
"Dad! You're all right! Look! Keke's been restored!"
"That's good to know, Max. We already took care of the problem."
"Gee, what a mess here," Dimitri commented.
"My god! What happened here?!" Mimi points out towards the broken window.
"Meems. It's a long story," Tai said. "I'll tell it to you later…"
"Tai… I'm glad to see you guys are fine," Sora said.
"Aw, c'mon. You don't think I'm that reckless, do you?"
"Well, I don't know. I see a broken window and some damage in this facility. I'm not about to pull money out of my pocket to pay for the repairs."
"Aw, c'mon! I was doing the good for the community!"
"Ha. Now there's no battle Tai will never win," Izzy snickered.
"Tell me about it. Mom has dad by the chain all the time," Max replied.
Just then, their reunion party was immediately interrupted by the call of police sirens. X and Shintomon gathered everyone together.
"Come on, everyone. There's no use staying around any longer," X said. "If we stay here, there's going to be all kinds of trouble."
"You sure you'll be fine, BW?" Agumon asked.
"Don't worry. I've been through worse. Trust me."
"Everyone. Hold onto me. I'll transport ourselves out of here," Shintomon reminded the group.
As Tai and his crew gathered around Shintomon, the higher digimon used his teleportation to transport themselves out of the crime scene.
The local Mushiyori police arrived to investigate. The nurses told them about Doctor Akira's heinous acts. The police team found Doctor Akira outside of the hospital and took him into custody.
Elsewhere within Mushiyori
Sitting on top of a stairwell, the sinister Saitou watched the police take Doctor Akira away. Another pawn in his game was taken out.
"So Akira and Haze Frogmon have been defeated. No matter. They were merely the first pawns to be taken out of our game. Ice Maker. I leave the second mission up to you. I want you to track down several members of that group and isolate them from the rest."
Rei steps out from the shadows and gives a slow nod to the mastermind.
"Good, Rei Saiba. Don't let me down. While you do your part, Rage Archaeopteryxmon is preparing to expand his territory to deal with the rest of Taichi's friends. It's only a matter of time before we find the one with the ability to break through the seal barrier."
Rei looks out towards the crimson skies and lets out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, Taichi. Forgive me for what I must do…"
Local Mushiyori Police Station.
The crazed doctor was taken into custody for further questioning of the situation. An inspector wanted answers but he was simply receiving 'nonsense' from Akira.
"Okay, doctor. Let's go over this again. You say you slashed up your colleagues, gave a nurse a three-foot scar, and paralyzed a young man… because you were helping them?"
"Detective, have you ever looked in the mirror? I mean really looked. We're diseased. We're suffering. If you knew what's best, you'd take that gun from your holster and do yourself a favor. Erasing every human, that's the only way to save us, or else we'll eat and destroy until nothing is left but piss. Detective, haven't you ever felt like you wanted to kill somebody? I didn't want to kill somebody, I wanted to kill everybody. All of mankind. And if you ask me why, there aren't any creatures uglier than us around, are there? The creatures we call humans know no bounds to their greed. They consume everything, destroy everything! My disgust toward humanity turned to hatred. I did intend to kill. However, it wasn't directed at any individual, it was directed at all mankind, myself included. Capturing me has only delayed the inevitable. For us all…"
Our heroes have defeated Doctor Akira and Haze Frogmon. However, there are still six other monsters across the planet. Akira's other accomplices are well aware of our heroes' whereabouts and will stop at nothing to accomplish their task. Now, Rei the Ice Maker has been sent in hopes of isolating Tai's group into two halves. Will Saitou actually carry through with his plan to open the barrier between the human and dark worlds?

WHOO! Finished with my final exams and back on track with my fic duties! I have a full week and a half to catch up on my work. If school hadn't interfered, I would have breezed through this season by now. Anyway, enough of that. What do you say we get straight to the chase?
Last time we caught up with our heroes, Doctor Akira and Haze Frogmon were put down. Six monsters left to go and there are more of Saitou's accomplices. This next chapter will be filled with tension. Now, let's get on with the show, shall we? Enjoy!
As soon as the Super Artificial's threat gone, our heroes attempted to restore their devastated planet with Azulongmon's digicores. To their surprise, Millenniumon emerged out of dormancy and came straight out of Cyberdramon himself! The terrible beast has conspired himself with a sinister human by the name Saitou. His other main objective was tainting the digicores with his evil essence. Three of the digicores have cracked into halves and left one whole. Our heroes split into four teams across the planet to hunt down for the seven monsters of Millenniumon. The Legendary warriors found themselves in a duel with the toxic creature: Haze Frogmon. The amphibian beast wasted no time wasting Lobomon and the gang. However, just as Agunimon wasted a decoy, he fled out to the scene to the aid of his comrades. With their combined efforts, the warriors put down Haze Frogmon and captured a half of a digicore in the process. That was only one portion of the battle itself…
Meanwhile, back in Mushiyori, another set of conspirers has set out across to keep an eye out on Taichi's group. They are Doctor Akira, Rei Saiba the Ice Maker, Hideto the Sniper, Sigma, Mari the Game Master, Neo Saiba the Gatekeeper and Dark Angel. These seven, with their unique abilities, are attempting to open up a tunnel of darkness between the human world and the Digital Worlds' dark realms. Tai and his comrades have arrived at Mushiyori to investigate… Only to run into trouble at the hospital… Taichi engaged in a dramatic battle with Doctor Akira. The psychotic man was defeated and locked away. However, there still remain six conspirers and six monsters on the globe. By now, the tunnel to the dark realm has rapidly been growing larger.

Outside of Mushiyori District
After their grueling ordeal with Doctor Akira, Tai and his group were transported outside of the Mushiyori city district. Shintomon and X wanted to give the group some time to catch a break.
"Geez, remind me to never get a shot from that hospital," Max said. "I don't think I'd want to experience another doctor visit."
"Me, too," replied Keke.
"Just make sure not to get sick you two," Mimi teased the pair.
"That was some awesome fighting you put up there, Tai," Agumon commended the young man.
"You think so? That was simply out of instinct."
"Afraid not, Taichi," X stated. "Your body has become well adapted all those years as Omega X. Your human body has become more resilient and well trained since you first trained under me. You may not possess the super strength but you can easily top any normal human's strength and speed."
"That's my Tai," Sora mused.
"So, that's one conspirer down," Izzy said. "How many of these guys are actually working for this creep?"
"We don't know," Shintomon said. "There have been no files on these conspirers. On the bright side, I can announce that Takuya and his friends managed to defeat the first of the seven monsters. They have snared one half of a digicore."
"That's great news!" Biyomon said. "Only six more monsters to go!"
"Wow, I can't believe how fast we're progressing," stated Tentomon.
"Well, don't celebrate too soon. We still have plenty of work to do," BW replied. "Besides, we can't even enter that area which holds the tunnel."
"Not to mention that the tunnel will grow even faster," replied Shintomon. "It will grow at an alarming rate over these next few weeks. Watch for vital signs on the planet itself. The tunnel will cause chain reactions that may alter the Earth's ecosystem and throw everything off track."
"I'd definitely wouldn't want to piss off Mother Nature," Tai said. "Ok, guys. We're getting down to six monsters… Shintomon. Be sure to tell Takuya and the others my congratulations."
"Will do."
"Hey, Max. What do you think? Is it possible that we'll find these conspirers?"
"I don't know. My dad says they are just normal humans with special abilities. They don't have very strong ki like higher level digimon do."
"But your dad is bound to find them right?"
"Of course. How did you think we found that doctor?"
"Pure chance."
"I doubt it."
"Listen up, everyone," X announced to the group. "We'll be returning back to Odaiba. Then we'll return back here to check for any strange occurrences."
"You heard the masked man, everyone. Let's get it going," Tai said. "Max! Keke! C'mon, you two love birds! We're leaving!"
The children moved away from one another as shades of red covered their cheeks. Dimitri sneaks up behind Max and ruffles his hair.
"Hehe! Max, you lucky dog! Nobody deserves to be with my sister more than you. Just wanted to let you know that."
"Dimitri… I…"
"Kids! Let's go!" Sora calls out to the youth.
As the trio caught up with the adults and the digimon, Shintomon concentrated and transported the whole group out from Mushiyori. They were set to be transported back to Odaiba.
Looking on from behind a billboard, Rei Saiba was standing behind the poster and managed to listen to their entire conversation. She let out a sigh of relief.
"Saitou. I've managed to find out where they are departing. Odaiba…"
"That's good," a sinister voice speaks out from behind the girl.
Standing behind Rei was a tall, dark figure with slicked back hair and black clothing. Saitou puts a hand across Rei's shoulders and gives a sinister smile.
"Odaiba will be our next stop, Ice Maker. Let us make our presence felt."
"Yes, Mr. Saitou…"
Los Angeles
Many earthquakes have devastated the city of Los Angeles over the past years. It maybe even possible that it could separate itself from California and become an island of it's own within the twenty-first century or beyond. However, there was a new crisis taking root within the earthquake city. Another one of Millenniumon's monsters has taken a foothold and expanded its territory. This territory belonged to the electric-powered reptile bird named Rage Archaeopteryxmon.
Takato Matsuda led the team that has volunteered to investigate this situation. Accompanying him was his buddy, Guilmon, Rika Nonaka, Renamon, Pikkan, Leomon and Jeri. The digimon were aware that the monster was within the city and knew its territory has grown at extraordinary rates.
"Wow, so this is Los Angeles? This place is pretty much a mess from what I can remember," Takato said. "I always imagined a Hollywood spectrum."
"Goggle head. We're not even close to Hollywood. We're merely on the outskirts. They call this area the 'hood'."
Guilmon sniffed the ground and his ears started to perk up. He stampedes off towards an ice cream truck.
"Guilmon! Get back here! That's an ice cream truck and the driver is bound to be in there!"
"I wouldn't worry about that," Pikkan said. "I'm not even sensing the life energy of humans. Normally, these places would be teeming with activity. Strange. I don't even sense anything. Sucks to live in a city plagued by natural disasters."
"I heard the earthquakes are a result of underground volcanoes on the west side of the country," Jeri stated. "But I could be wrong."
"Well, we're not here to look for the cause of earthquakes. We're looking for a power hungry monster hell bent on destroying this city," Rika said.
Takato came walking back with Guilmon by his side. The food craving dragon was munching on a Bullet Popsicle.
"Guilmon… You never fail to amaze me when it comes to that stomach of yours."
"Want some, Takato?"
"I'll pass for now. Anyway, Rika's right. Even though earthquakes and volcanoes are a problem, this monster is an even greater threat. If we don't stop it, there's a good chance that the monster will cause more natural disasters to emerge out of the blue and destroy this country."
Just then, the skies had suddenly become a crimson color like blood. There were now streaks of lighting sailing across the heavens. It looked as though it were simply a sign of things to come. That still did not answer the Tamers' question about the lifeless human activity.
"Ok, this is simply getting too creepy," Rika groaned. "I say we find this monster before he finds us! I hate looking for something that would want to bite our heads off. Very annoying…"
Suddenly, Renamon picked up on slight vibrations from within the air and her eyes emitted a bright glow.
"What is it, Renamon? Did you find something yet?"
"I sense movement."
"Possible human activity?" Jeri asked.
"It's possible, Jeri. Stay close to me," Leomon instructed the girl. "Pikkan, cover me."
"Don't have to tell me twice."
The digimon grouped around their partners in defense positions. They were ready for anything that seems to be ready to pounce out from the shadows. Even Guilmon dropped his popsicle just for the sake of protecting the goggle head leader.
However, their alarm was false as they realized that people were emerging out from their homes. Takato walked up towards a group of kids.
"Hey, you! Look, we've been meaning to ask you a few questions."
"Thank goodness. They are just normal humans like us," Jeri said. "You guys had us scared…"
Unfortunately, the digimon were not fully convinced. Renamon was the first to notice followed by Pikkan and Leomon.
"Um, kids? Do you know if there had been strange activity? Like maybe a monster bent on destroying this part of the city?" Takato rambled on with more questions.
"Takato. I'd advise you stay back!" Pikkan shouts towards the teen.
"Why? What's the big deal?"
"They're not as friendly as you may think!" Leomon warned him.
"I see no harm in asking them," Jeri said. "Excuse, ma'm!"
Rika put an arm out to stop Jeri. The redhead gives a nod and whistles out towards Takato to catch his attention.
"Goggle head! Get away from there!" Rika screamed out. "Renamon's sensing a negative vibe from these people!"
"That's ridiculous! There's no way that's possible," Takato said.
"Oh, Lord Rage Archaeopteryxmon! We call upon you! Oh, mighty lord!" the random group of people called out in unison.
"What's going on here? Why are you guys chanting that?!" Jeri wondered. "You're creeping us out!"
Renamon looked across at the crowds and noticed a pink, slime substance attached to their necks.
"Everyone! It's that slime we found earlier!" Renamon exclaimed. "Somehow, they've attached themselves to these people and are controlling them."
"But how?" Rika asked. "This is just proof about the monster's whereabouts! Monster, show yourself!"
"I can't believe this creep would even stoop low as to control these poor people," Takato growled. "Monster! Reveal yourself and release these people from out of your control! I'm not asking you, but I'm telling you to do so!"
"Stay together, everyone!" Leomon warned the group.
More people emerged from their homes and from every street corner marched towards the Tamers in eerie, zombie fashion. Their eyes were not only glazed over, but it seems their minds were thrown away. Each one of them had the same purple slime attached to their necks.
Just then, nearly every trace of power lines was suffering short circuits. More lighting streaks were striking across the landscape. The digimon knew of the dangers that were to come. A gigantic streak immediately struck the surface away from where the Tamers stood.
"Looks like we're getting our wish," Pikkan said. "The bastard is going to show himself…"
"Geez, I wonder what we'll end up facing. Something big and scary I reckon," replied Takato. "At least, I hope not…"
"Stay tough, Takato. We'll fight this thing together," the goggle head's reptilian partner assured him.
"Silence! Here, he comes!" Leomon exclaimed.
The Tamers stood their ground as the lighting streak settled down. A figure was emerging from out of the streak with its eyes emitting a crimson aura. It appeared to have a massive, tall stature. However, that was not to be revealed. A bird-like creature emerges as it expanded its magnificent wingspan. The monster's head was reptilian but it's body was covered with an array of beautiful feathers. The feather cleavage was like that of the rainbow. It's mouth widened to reveal a set of needle teeth. It tilted its head to the left side and shuddered with electric streaks fizzed through it's feathers. The monster erected and was taller than an Ostrich. Somehow, the electricity from the district had helped to increase its size.
"So, that's the monster?!" Takato gasped. "But… He doesn't look so tough…"
"Why not try touching him? He'll give you quite the shock," suggested Rika.
"Don't let his appearance fool you. I can tell this monster is responsible for this. He's using the electricity from this district to feed his growing power," Leomon explained. "As his power grew, he successfully spread his slime to control these people as his puppets."
"How observant," the creature spoke with a screech through his tone. "Yes, it seems we have a smart one in your group."
"You better set these people free from your control!" Takato demanded.
"And what are you going to do about it, feeble human?"
"We'll use our authority to defeat you and take that digicore," Guilmon threatened.
"Idle threats, you pathetic excuse for a digimon!" the bird-reptile snickered. "Your combined efforts cannot overcome the electric powers I possess. Yes, Dark Angel has instructed that I have some fun with you, Tamers…"
"Dark Angel…?" Takato wondered.
"Yes, but let's not get into that now. We haven't been formally introduced," the bird continued on. "I'm Rage Archaeopteryxmon! But you can just call me… Rage Archy for short."
Rage Archaeopteryxmon. Type: Ancient Bird-Reptile. Level: Mega. Special Attacks: Mega Voltage Strike, Super Thunder Strike and Mind Control
"Rage Archy? Ugh, how annoying," Rika sighed. "Renamon. Just how strong is this guy?"
"I can't tell. There's something very strange. It seems whatever we're facing now isn't exactly who we're dealing with."
"She brings up a good point," Pikkan stated. "Everyone stay alert. This guy just maybe hiding something up his sleeve. We're dealing with an enemy who is able to conceal his true power."
"Very good. All those enemies you've faced in the past have pretty much set you up to stand up against us monsters! As apart of Millenniumon, I shall use the power he has bestowed to be in order to eliminate you!"
"Everyone! Get ready! Time to show this guy not to abuse electricity! Digivolve!" Takato ordered the digimon.
BIO-MERGE EVOLUTION
"BIO-MERGE ACTIVATE!"
"RENAMON BIOMERGE!"
"GUILMON BIOMERGE!"
With that said, Takato and Rika took out their D-Arks. They were immediately fused with their respective digimon partners. Rika with Renamon merged to become a golden-clad warrior with a magical staff. Takato and Guilmon fused to transform into an exalted knight with a red cape, a lance sword and a shield with a hazard sign embedded on the surface.
"SAKUYAMON!"
"GALLANTMON!"
"Leomon! Your turn!" Jeri calls out to her partner.
Jeri's D-Ark set off a column of light and engulfed Leomon in a bright light. His form started to morph into a stronger and sleeker metallic form.
"Leomon warp shinka! Cyberleomon!"
Pikkan merely removed the weighted clothes from his body. He popped his knuckles and steps into a fighting stance.
"No need for me to digivolve. Time to kick this turkey's ass."
"Jeri! Get to safety!" Cyberleomon orders the girl.
She nods in reply and hides behind a light post. Fortunately for her, she was at safe distance from the human zombies. In case they attacked her, Pikkan would immediately rush to her aid.
Rage Archy found himself in a tight pinch while facing off with the four highly powered digimon. All of them were megas nonetheless.
"Interesting, you four are megas just like me," Rage Archy spoke softly. "This is perfect. Now, we'll see if you are worthy of going toe to toe with a monster such as myself. However, what you fail to realize is that I am bestowed with Millenniumon's blessing. It will take more than your combined efforts to defeat me."
"You're all talk, pal," Gallantmon stated. "Now let these people go and give us a fair battle."
"Fair, you say? Since when are humans ever fair to begin with? I'm merely justifying the Mother Nature and punishing the human race. You deserve to become extinct. Look what you've done to your own planet…"
"If you're looking for sympathy from us, then you're wrong! You shouldn't be preaching us on the human race," Sakuyamon spoke up.
"Though, he does bring up a good point about humans," Pikkan thought. "I hate the way humans have destroyed their own planet. Hell, I'll make damn sure they never mess up the Digital World or even my home planet. No mercy on their souls…"
"Pikkan. Put your animosity towards humans just this once," Cyberleomon assured the Alterian. "This monster is a hypocrite. He only cares for himself. If we don't stop him, he'll even go and ravage the digital world."
"Don't speak of me in ill manner!" Rage Archy screeched. "Yes, that's enough talk from me! Now human puppets! Attack these fools and force them to slaughter you! Do it now!"
"No! I can't believe you would stoop low!" Gallantmon cries out.
"I don't care! Slaughter these humans and prove your ruthlessness! Show no mercy! Kill them in cold blood! Only then I will determine whether you are worthy of my time and effort!"
Jeri was horrified at what was set to transpire. She covered her eyes and couldn't bear to see any human slaughter.
Rage Archy turned towards Sakuyamon and smirked. The beast was immediately plotting a sick a perverse scheme, which involves the female.
"Yes, she should be easy prey. I'll use her to get to Gallantmon. How amusing this shall prove to be…"
Mushiyori. The underground cavern with the distortion tunnel
Back within the cryptic and barren cavern outside of Mushiyori, there was again little to no major activity. Except for the fact that a tunnel leading into the dark abyss of the digital universe was expanding slowly.
Neo Saiba is seen sitting in the middle of a boat in between a small moat within the caverns. His eyes opened up and broke out of his concentration. Saitou had just spoken up once entering upon the caverns.
"Mr. Saitou, shouldn't you be out in Odaiba with my sister and the others?"
"We'll be there shortly. I have my teleportation to take us there without hesitation."
"I see. Hopefully, Rei will carry on through with our plans."
"She will. I will see it to it, Neo."
"That's good."
"Neo. I've just entered into town. I just saw lower-class digimon and monsters in Mushiyori. The hole to the Dark Realm appears to be opening faster than we had planned."
"I know. It's a strange sensation. I'm the one who is supposed to open it, yet the hole is starting to accelerate all on its own as if it were alive. All we can do is find someone with the ability to break through the subspace peripheral field."
"Someone with the ability to cut through dimensions, huh? The guys are going out to look for him while eliminating anyone that gets in their way. Look, we'll find them soon unexpectedly; in a place we wouldn't expect to look. That's what I feel."
Odaiba District. Kamiya Residence
After repairs were being down around the apartment complex, families were returning home safely. The invasion crisis had brought a worldwide panic, but that eventually eased down. The families returned to their homes and did everything to regain peace around their environment. They were very weary about the series of events occurring worldwide.
Just within his residence, Tai was sitting on a chair near his dining table. He wasn't alone in the apartment home. Agumon, BW, Izzy, Tentomon, and Shintomon were gathered to discuss the events that had unfolded during the day.
"Damn, this day just couldn't get any crazier," Tai mumbled. "I can't believe I came this close to taking away a human life. Had that doctor died… I couldn't live with myself."
"But you had no choice," Agumon assured his long-term friend. "That madman was hurting those innocent patients. Besides, X was there to revive him just in time."
"Speaking of X, where exactly did he go, BW? Just wondering…"
"I thought I told you, Tai. He returned back to his home world to check through his files to find some information on the mastermind behind this tunnel operation."
"Oh, sorry… My mind is just drifting off. Man, do I need some sleep? These two days have been tough."
"The Earth has underwent extreme changes since the hole from digital limbo opened," stated Izzy. "Climatic changes are increasing at a rapid rate and these seven monsters are causing a devastating effect on our ecosystems."
"Yo, what does that have anything to do with the tunnel? We're looking for that."
"That's just it," Izzy said. "The tunnel will only make things worse. The planet itself will cease to exist when you realize that the climatic changes will severely alter the planet and result in natural disasters. Plus, you add in the Synister factor…"
"The human race will be wiped out," Tentomon finished Izzy's explanation. "This isn't exactly how I want to spend the rest of precious digi-life."
"Don't worry, Tentomon. We'll eventually find this mastermind and crush him before he opens that tunnel," Tai said.
"Though, we will have to break through that barrier those spell casters constructed," BW stated. "They were well prepared for our interference."
"By the way, Shintomon. You said earlier that Takato and his crew are already caught in a situation with another monster?" Agumon asked.
"Yes, they are in a struggle with the second monster. This one will be tougher than the first one. However, I'm confident Takato and his friends can take care of it."
"I know they will. As long as those kids work together, they should be fine. We're already in a mess as it is," Tai rambled on. "Speaking of which, I hope Sora, Max and the others get here soon. It's raining… Plus, there's just no telling when that creep and his accomplices will strike next. Hurry back soon, Sora. Max."
Tai looked out through the window to find sprinkles of rainwater pouring across the city district. He worried for the whereabouts of his closest loved ones. The situation with the spell casters has gotten quite unpredictable and there was no telling when they would strike next.
Somewhere within Odaiba
The environment was currently in a gloomy state. Rain was down pouring across the city with dark clouds looming. Certainly, there was an ominous presence within the city of Odaiba. Perhaps, another sign of events to come?
Standing out in the middle of Odaiba Park, there was a girl wearing a red coat with a black t-shirt underneath with a pink log-sleeve shirt. She was also wearing black stockings and a blue-jean skirt. Her tennis shoes were white and a pair of red clippings was visible in her hair. This was Rei Saiba AKA the Ice Maker. She calmly places her hand across some moist vegetation and turns them into frost with her special powers.
"I… I just wish I wasn't cursed with such a power. Taichi. I hope to see you soon…"
Suddenly, she heard footsteps and a dark shadow loomed over her. Rei turned around to find Saitou holding an umbrella over them.
"Mr. Saitou?"
"Hello, Ice Maker. I've found the enemies close by. They are not far away from here. I take it you will handle them by yourself."
"Um, question. Is Taichi amongst them?"
"No, but his wife and son are one of them."
"I see… Yes, just leave them with me, Mr. Saitou. I'll be sure to punish them."
"That's good. I'm expecting good results, Ice Maker. Your brother is counting on you to pull through."
"My brother… I won't let him down."
Saitou hands Rei the umbrella and starts walking off out of the park. The girl tosses the umbrella back to the broody man. He catches it without even turning back.
"I won't be needing it, Mr. Saitou. With my ice powers, I'll mix it with the rain to defeat my enemies. I shall bring judgment to those humans who caused me my near-death accident! They shall feel my pain!"
As soon as the girl ranted on her hatred of the human race, Saitou was delighted to hear such malicious words and smirked. He sets off out of the park and leaves Rei Saiba to carry on through her mission.
"Yes, I shall make them feel my pain. But, really… Is this the right choice? Have I chosen the right affiliation? There's only one person who can help me answer that question… Taichi. I need to know. Only you can provide me that answer," Rei said in thought.
Other side of Odaiba Park
Meanwhile, deep within the quiet streets away from Odaiba Park, a pair of individuals was walking down. It seems as though they were on a search. In fact, they were on the search for clues pertaining to the recent twists of events. There has been a surge of strange activity, which crept under the crew's sight. Max was the first to point this out after he claimed to have found ice in a warm climate. It wasn't even natural for ice to develop when the climate is at least moderate.
"Are you sure you saw ice, Max?" Sora wondered.
"Positive, mom. It's just not right to find perfectly made ice anywhere at this time of year."
"Well, the news reports lately have been telling us about severe climate changes," Dimitri said. "Maybe this is the cause of some kind of climatic pole shift."
"I say it's the monsters' own doing," Biyomon replied. "Or it could be the tunnel leading to the Dark Realm."
"If only we could have found it by now," Keke said with a sigh. "Maybe we're already near the end of times as we speak…"
"Don't think like that, Keke. We're going to survive and find the creep that's harming our planet. I swear that those Synisters won't be unleashed on our home!"
"Max… I… You're right. I can't think like that. We will pull through," Keke cheered with glee.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting tired from all this walking. I retired as a Digi-Destined for a good reason," Mimi complained. "By now, my feet would have developed bunions."
"Oh, mom. We'll get home soon," Dimitri assured his mother. "Say, why hasn't dad called back? He's been gone for nearly two whole days…"
"That's just like your mother," Mimi growled. "He can be such an inconsiderate idiot… I'll give him a piece of my mind!"
"That's the spirit, Mimi! Bring out that ol' fire, girl!" Palmon cheered.
As the crew continued their way down the street, there was a loud crack noise and this managed to catch Dimitri's attention. Keke, Mimi and Palmon took notice of this.
"What is it, Dimitri?" Keke asked.
"I have no idea. I thought I heard some kind of crack. Now, why is it suddenly getting chilly? It's already sprinkling as it is. I can't stand crazy weather!"
"Calm down, Dimitri! Look, Keke. Why don't you go run along with Max? Dimitri, Palmon and myself will check this out."
"Are you sure about that, mom?"
"Yes, I'm positive. Now, go on… We'll catch up to you."
"All right then…"
Keke gives a nod to her family and takes off back to Max. Mimi starts down the right-way path with Palmon and Dimitri by her side. The former Digi-Destined takes out her trusty Digivice.
"Wow, haven't seen you use that, mom," Dimitri said.
"It's been a while dear. You should have seen me back when I had spunk. I just hope I can revive that old spunk. Palmon, you ready just in case?"
"Always. Let us show you how it's done, Dimitri."
Suddenly, Dimitri caught glimpse of a ice sculpture. He peered closer to find that it was shaped like a human hand.
"Uhh… Mom. Palmon. You two might want to check this out."
Before any of them could even react, the 'hand' launches itself out towards the trio. They screamed out but not for long. The hand snatched them up in one whole swoop. Their screams echoed throughout the side street.
Max and Keke immediately picked up on the echoing screams. The girl sensed out her family were in danger.
"You guys! Something has happened to my family!" Keke cries out. "Max! Let's move!"
"Right behind you! Follow us, mom and Biyomon!"
The children flew out towards the exact area where Keke's family was last seen. Sora and Biyomon headed to follow their lead.
"Wait up you two!" Sora calls out to the children. "I can't fly around like a bird you know!"
"Uh… Even with these wings, I still can never catch up with those two," Biyomon sighed.
As the child pair made it over to the area in time, they gasped to find the 'hand'. Keke was horrified once she laid eyes upon her family within the hand's sinister grasp. Another 'hand' emerges out through the icy ground, followed by a head and body. The ice creature stood tall with neon yellow eyes emerging out from the sides of its head. Sora and Biyomon made it over in time, but even they were caught in a state of shock.
"Oh my god!" Sora gasped. "What is that thing?!"
"I don't know, but it may have been responsible for the ice Max was telling us earlier," answered Biyomon.
"Could it be one of the even monsters?" Max wondered.
"I don't care what that thing is! It has my family captive and no one puts harm on them! Hang in there! I'm coming!"
"Not so fast…" a voice calls out to put a halt to the group's attempted interference.
Keke, Max, Sora and Biyomon looked about their surroundings for the source of the voice. They found no shred of evidence of the perpetrator's whereabouts.
"Who's there?! Show yourself!" Keke demanded.
"My, my. Aren't we demanding? Patience. I shall reveal myself now."
They picked up onto the sounds of footsteps from another corner. Keke and Max picked up on the footsteps. The figure emerged from a side corner of a window curtain. The identity was revealed and it was the Ice Maker, Rei Saiba. The girl made full eye contact with the children, Sora and Biyomon.
"Greetings, Digi-Destined. How do you like the decorating I made for this gloomy neighborhood? Odaiba looks much more beautiful with ice. It brings a delight to my eyes."
"So you're the one who created the ice!" Max screamed out. "No! You're severely affecting the climate of our home!"
"Good. Maybe that way, you humans can freeze to death for all I care."
"Hey! Now see here! I demand you to let my family go!" Keke cries out with anger in her voice.
"No. They shall be the first causalities of my crusade against the evil of the human race. It's because of you that I was left alone to suffer."
"I don't know where you are trying to get at it but we haven't done harm to you," Biyomon said.
"Ah, Biyomon. The digimon partner of the one who inherits the crest of love…"
"How did you know about my partner?" Sora asked Ice Maker. "Tell me. Are you one of Dark Angel's accomplices?!"
Ice Maker remained quiet after being approached with Sora's question. After a few moments of silence, Ice Maker chuckled and nodded her head.
"What if I am? It's no concern of yours since you will be dead, Sora Takenouchi. Yes, I know all about you, Biyomon, the crest of friendship and your husband… Taichi Kamiya."
Sora and Max were caught in complete shock at the name the girl had revealed. Somehow, this girl knows Sora and Tai, yet the married couple has never met the Ice Maker. This raised many perplexed questions.
"Tai… Hey, how do you know us?! Something tells me that you know us more than what Dark Angel has told you!" Sora yells out.
"That's right, but it won't matter when I end your lives. However, you can tell me where Taichi. I'd like to ask him a few questions."
"We're not stupid! You plan on leading him to a trap where your boss will kill him! Besides, my dad will be ready for him!"
"You're quite a persistent little boy, aren't you?" Ice Maker chuckled. "I have no intention of inflicting harm on your father."
"Lies! If you want to see Max's dad, then you will have to go through us!" Keke snapped. "Now let my family go!"
"Why let them go? I'm already enjoying their torture as it is. Now, just sit back and watch…"
With a snap of her fingers, Ice Maker ordered her beast to squeeze the life out of the trio. Keke's blood boiled as she stood by to watch her family suffer. She couldn't bear to stand watching the pain. Ice Maker stepped out in the middle of the scene and waves her hands accordingly. She places one hand on a puddle and used her ice powers to turn it into ice. She then snapped her fingers and summoned a tiny ice monster.
"She creates ice monsters!" Sora pointed out the obvious. "She must be Ice Maker!"
"Ah, I see you've found out my identity," Ice Maker said. "I take it that telepath told you everything about our objective. My name is Rei Saiba. Code name: Ice Maker. I use the special powers of turning inanimate objects into ice weaponry and create ice imps."
"Look! I'm sick of listening to you talk! I'm taking you out now!" Keke screamed.
"Keke! Wait!" Max calls out to his friend.
Ice Maker snaps her finger and immediately orders the smaller ice imp to defend her. The ice imp jumps up and flies out towards Keke. She throws out a ki blasts, which the imp batted away. The blast penetrates the ground and takes a chunk out of it. The imp leaps down onto Keke's back and sends her crashing down to the ground. Max was fortunate to have caught her in time.
"You little bastard!" Max cursed.
"So, what do you think, kids? Isn't the little imp cute?" Ice Maker chuckled.
"You sick freak," Max growled.
"Tell me. Which one do you like better, kids? The small one or the big one? Because, whatever you decide will be the one I will use to kill you with!"
"First Doctor Akira, and now you. You guys are more twisted than I expected," Sora growled.
"No! Don't you compare me with that freak!" Ice Maker snapped. "I… I'm different. I have good reasons…"
Flashback
Several months ago in her own alternate world, Rei Saiba is seen sitting on a bench with crutches. She devastating accident has forced her onto crutches. The poor girl has never looked so pitiful. Suddenly, a young man approached her. She turns to find herself facing Saitou, the same man who healed her injuries and brought her to his side. She, like her brother Neo, agreed to join Saitou on the conquest to destroy the human race.
"Rei, you've seen the true nature of humanity, yes? You've seen the cruelty of mankind. Early in your life, they excluded you for some arbitrary case. Once marked, they all joined in the ridicule, circling like buzzards over a wounded calf. Besides your own brother, no one has ever helped you. They all took part in humanity's darkest indulgence, torture."
Rei fully remembers the accident as if it were yesterday. She looked back to those painful memories of being struck by an automobile. The accident resulted in her becoming incapacitated. She couldn't even move her legs anymore and was reduced to using crutches. Her life was ultimately ruined. What's worst was the fact that the driver never bothered to get out to check on Rei, so says Saitou. Rei began questioning the human's needs. She came to realize greed was one of human's greatest sins. Neo blamed Hideto for the accident and for not saving his sister. Eventually, Neo ridiculed Hideto and told him to join him with Saitou as atonement for his sins. Those two boys and Rei were the first to join Saitou's group.
"Who are you? How do you know all of this, sir?"
"Come, Rei Saiba. Let me show you the answer. Your brother awaits you."
"What? You know my brother, Neo? Look, I just want all this pain to stop!"
As a gift for joining his cause, Rei's legs were completely healed by Saitou. She was never happier and rejoined her brother. Rei and Neo looked up to Saitou as a second-hand father since then. They were willing to follow his lead and help punish those that have caused them suffering.
End of Flashback
Ice Maker allowed a few teardrops to fall upon the surface, which turned into ice marbles in the process. The girl turns his full attention back on the group.
"You humans. You can just all die… Yes! You can all just die! That's why I'm going to kill anyone that gets in the way! Starting with you, Max Kamiya!" Ice Maker snapped.
"I hear you, but I don't care if you come after me. But before you do, honor Keke's wishes and release her family."
"Max! Don't provoke her!" Sora said.
"Stand back, mom! I can handle this! Look, I'm the only one you want to kill, right? Just leave Keke, her family, my mom and Biyomon alone."
"Max, don't…"
"Don't worry about me, Keke," Max said as he stood up and placed Keke near Sora. "Let's take care of this, Ice Maker! You and me!"
"You really don't get it do you?" Ice Maker sighed. "I told you. We're going to kill all of humanity. But before I do, I want you to bring your father here."
"Not a chance!" Biyomon cries out.
"Biyomon!"
"Oh no! Mom! Biyomon!"
As Biyomon flew out to attack Ice Maker, Sora followed out to stop her digimon partner from implementing an attack.
"You won't get anywhere near Tai! Biyomon shinka-"
Before Biyomon could attempt a digivolution, the ice imp flies out and delivers a head butt that brought Biyomon down. Sora caught the bird digimon in time but not long before the larger ice beast snatched them both with it's other hand. Max cries out angrily as he watched his mother and friend being snatched up by the beast's clutches.
"MOM! BIYOMON!"
"No… This is my fault, Max…"
"Not true! It's not your fault! Don't worry! We'll save them!"
The boy launches himself out at the tiny imp and blasts him away with a ki blast. Max lands back while attending to Keke. However, much to dismay, another new imp emerged in it's place. The Ice Maker laughed evilly at the boy's futile attempts.
"No matter how much you destroy it, another one will emerge in its place as long as my ice territory remains intact."
"What?!"
Just before he could even react, the ice imp started whaling in onto Max by smacking across his face. Keke sits up and throws out a punch but only for the imp to kick her in the face. The larger beast grew another arm and snatches up Keke's battered form.
"Keke!"
The ice beast held everyone, except Max, as hostage. Max sits up and was beginning to become angrier. Ice Maker couldn't help but laugh at the boy's attempts to save his family and friends.
"Looks like you weren't even a match, even as a group. I really thought this one through and lured you. You guys took the bait. Now, Max Kamiya. It's time. Down to you and me. We share only one thing in common: Our love for Taichi Kamiya. I go way back with Taichi! Even long before you were even born."
"No… My father never told me about you…"
"That's because I'm from another world. It's different yet the same as this one. I knew Taichi from another time and period. Now, I want to become reacquainted with this one. No one deserves him more than me."
"I won't let you go anywhere near my dad! Now let them go!"
"Don't overexert yourself, Max. If you're willing to make a tearful apology, then I'm willing to make you my slave."
"You're full of it, you wench! Just go ahead and try doing something else to those guys! You won't leave here alive!"
Ice Maker growled angrily at the boy's persistence and stomped her foot across the ground.
"I won't make it out of here alive, you say? Don't you humor me, you little brat!"
With that said, Ice Maker takes out a knife and stabs it across Dimitri's left leg. The boy was barely conscious to even let out a cry, but there was a trickle of blood pouring from the deep wound. Max's eyes widened in horror yet were intensifying with anger.
"Don't you ever threaten me like that, little boy! And I was just about to let you guys live if you would've run away in tears! Now I'm really mad!"
"No! I'll kill you!"
Max flies out towards Ice Maker and prepares to attack not just her but also her ice imp at the same time.
"Oh! This shall be fun! I'm going to send my ice imps on you until you show your true self, and break down in tears!"
Just before Max had time to react, the ice imp slams a fist across little Max's face. The boy is sent reeling back with a bruise on his face.
"Damn! What's holding me back? There's something about this girl that's preventing me from attacking! No! I have to save Keke, mom and the others! They need me!"
Los Angeles
Meanwhile, the situation with the second monster was getting worse. Rage Archy had now summoned forth his human puppets to protect them. The Tamers stood their ground and were left with only one option: attack the human puppets just to get their hands on the avarian beast. However, that would mean that they would have to take away human life.
"Is is quite a difficult choice, Tamers? It's quite simple. Destroy these humans to get your hands on me. What's holding you back?!" Rage Archy laughed. "C'mon! These people don't even have regards for you."
"Release these people from out of your control, monster!" Cyberleomon bellowed out towards the beast.
"Not a chance! Kill these people and I just might release the survivors. But I doubt there will be any human survivors."
"Gambling with human lives. How sadistic can you monsters get? They did nothing to you!" Gallantmon cries out.
The exalted knight stepped forward and brings forth his lance saber. He points it out directly at Rage Archy and directs an energy attack at him.
"Lighting Joust!"
"Gallantmon! Seize your attack!" Sakuyamon calls out.
Suddenly, the knight saw the attack flying towards the monster. But Rage Archy immediately brought forth a numerous crowd of people to shield him. Gallantmon dashes out and steps in front of the blast. He screams out in agony after being struck head-on with his own attack.
"Gallantmon!"
"Ah, thanks. You just saved me the trouble of disposing of you, Gallantmon," Rage Archy laughed. "It's my move! Super Thunder Strike!"
Rage Archy brings forth his fingers and quickly electrocutes Gallantmon in place. The knight's body was becoming paralyzed from the high voltage coursing through his body. He collapses onto the ground and breathes heavily.
"Was that enough for you, Gallantmon? I'm afraid I was just getting warmed up! Why not send out all of your friends at once?! Come at me, Tamers!"
"I'll be more than happy to shut your damn beak up!" Pikkan roared. "Have a taste of your own medicine! Thunder Flash Attack!"
The Alterian smashes his fists together and sends out a high voltage blast towards Rage Archy. However, the monster held out a hand and quickly absorbs the electric attack. His body became ignited with high voltage electricity, but this was exactly what he has expecting. His body grew larger and power ultimately grew.
"Yes! Yes! Thanks for the recharge. I needed that."
"Pikkan! Don't do that again!" Cyberleomon growled. "He'll just absorb your attacks!"
"Guess having electric attacks always come back to bite you in the ass. Fine, I'll just attack the old fashioned way!"
"Allow me to retaliate. Super Thunder Strike!"
The feathered fiend sends out another sets of electric blasts across the battlefield. The Tamers managed to maneuver from each shot. Sakuyamon shielded herself by forming a flowery barrier to cancel out the electric blast. Cyberleomon sends out a seismic force to halt the electric beams. Pikkan charges forward and phases out from the monster's sight. This caught Rage Archy by surprise, but he managed to pick on Pikkan's ki. He looks up and finds Pikkan leaping down. The Alterian delivers a spinning back kick at the avarian. Rage Archy is sent skidding backwards.
"How's that for you, jackass?!" Pikkan swore.
"Great! This is my opportunity!" Gallantmon said.
The exalted knight leaps up at the feathered beast and stabs through his chest. Rage Archy remained frozen in place once he felt Gallantmon driving his lance through his 'heart'.
"Yay! Way to go, Gallantmon!" Jeri cheered.
"Let's hope that it's over," Cyberleomon said. "He couldn't have survived a stab in the heart."
"You're wrong. He didn't kill the monster. It still has life energy."
The Alterian's assumptions were correct as Gallantmon heard Rage Archy snickering. The beast retaliates and sends out an electric blast at Gallantmon. The knight saw the attack coming and shields himself with his shield.
"But, how?! He stabbed him directly in the heart!" Sakuyamon cries out.
"I'm afraid my body is not as organic as you had hoped. My anatomy is much different from any normal digimon. I don't have any external organs. Just think of me as a gigantic bacterial cell."
"Then all I have to do is destroy every portion of your being. You won't survive that!" Gallantmon threatened the beast.
"Let's see you try. As long as I have these human slaves at my disposal, I will simply bide myself sometime to make myself bigger. I'll feed off this city's electrical power supply and summon forth my slime. Watch as I demonstrate."
With that said, Rage Archy gathered more human puppets to gather around him to create an even bigger shield. He then sends out an array of tentacles across the city and attaches them to every major power line source. He began absorbing a plentiful amount of electricity and grew with gigantic proportions. His power became even more fueled with electricity. Rage Archy pumped himself up until he grew to nearly the size of the Eiffel Tower.
"Oh, crap!" Gallantmon cried out.
"Impressed, aren't we?" Rage Archy laughed. "But, that's where the fun begins. Gallantmon, if you have anything worthwhile to say to Sakuyamon, then say it now. Because she shall be my newest human puppet!"
"What?! Sakuyamon! Don't gaze into his eyes!"
"Too late! Mind control! Sakuyamon! Become my newest human puppet!"
As soon as he called out the command, his eyes glistened with bright lights. Sakuyamon attempted to divert her eyes, but she was much too late. She was quickly brought under the beast's control and her mind warped. Sakuyamon slowly flies out towards Rage Archy. The Tamers, especially Gallantmon, were angered to see their friend being used as Rage Archy's newest puppet.
"RIKA!" Gallantmon calls out to Sakuyamon. "SNAP OUT OF IT!"
"He's stooped too low! Pikkan! Let's move!"
"Right behind you."
"Ha! Now if you hope to inflict any damage on me, you'll have to kill your friend in the process. What's it going to be, Tamers? Will you kill your friend just to get to me? I forgot to mention that there is a time limit to your decision. So I would choose wisely if I were you."
The Tamers were indefinitely held at bay while facing with a difficult decision. If they hope to destroy Rage Archy, they would need to take away Sakuyamon's life in the process since she has become the beast's newest puppet slave. Gallantmon lets out a deep sigh and nodded his head in grief.
"Aw, what's the matter, Gallantmon? Are we ready to give in? Dark Angel will be pleased to know that I've defeated the Digimon Tamers by crushing their spirits. C'mon, just do yourselves a favor and slaughter my human shields. You'll do yourself and Earth a favor by depleting more of the human filth."
"No… What can I do…? He has Rika and Renamon captive… What choice do I have…? Rika. I'm sorry… No wait… Grani?! Do I still have enough to ascend to Crimson Mode? It's been a while since I used it, but even Crimson Mode won't matter. I'm left with the decision to take human life… I'm going to hate myself forever for this…"
Back at the site on the Odaiba Streets
Max managed to prevent his own fall and slid back across the puddles. He puts his sole attention on his captive loved ones. Ice Maker stepped out to block Max from making eye contact with them.
"You… Let them go, you wench."
"What are you crazy…? They're just family and friends of yours, aren't they? Just abandon them…"
"No, you can't bury honor for your family and friends. Just let them go."
Ice Maker was taken back by Max's demands and shocked that the boy would even bother to sacrifice himself at such a young age. He wasn't even old enough to make his own decisions in life.
"Max… Max! Listen to me," Keke managed to mutter. "It's okay… Just get out of here and leave us… Bring your father back to help."
"No, I won't leave you! I promised your brother that I would protect you! Don't you start talking crazy, Keke. We're going to fight on living or dying together."
"Save them, or what?!" Ice Maker questioned the boy's motives. "In that beat-up condition of yours, what can you hope to do?! No one would make that kind of sacrifice!"
Despite what Ice Maker said, Max walked firmly across the street without a shred of fear on his face. He was determined to rescue his family and friends from the Ice Maker's monsters. The girl stepped back and her eyes widened into shock.
"Get him, my ice pet! Get him!"
The ice imp leaps out towards Max and delivers more painful blows across his face. Max wobbles around with bruises on his face and a trickle of blood over his mouth. The boy was laid out onto the puddles across the street. Keke screamed out and shunned her eyes in pain.
"No! Max!"
"Max!" Sora cries out.
"Ha! So you've finally kicked the bucket have you, Max?! Serves you right!" Ice Maker laughed.
Her celebration was short-lived once Max slowly rose back onto his feet. Ice Maker gasped in disbelief.
"You still want to go at it?! Just over these guys?!"
"They're my family and friends," Max muttered deeply.
"I can't stand this stupid comedy routine you're trying to put up, kid! It's about time I finished this!"
With a snap of her fingers, Ice Maker ordered her ice beast to swallow Max's friends. Max cries out in horror as the monster placed his family and friends inside. Keke, Sora and Biyomon banged on the walls in attempt to break free but their attempts failed. The others were still unconscious from before.
"NO! KEKE! MOM! EVERYONE!" Max screamed out.
"Ha! No matter how much you struggle, there's no way you'll ever get out from inside of there!"
The boy launches himself out and cupped his hands together to form a blue energy beam. He shoots it across and sends it towards the ice beast.
"TSUNAMI WAVE!"
The ice beast immediately saw the blast coming forth and cancels it out with a tail swipe. Max stopped and became caught by the quick lash of the tail. The tail wrapped itself around Max as if a snake had caught its prey.
"No! His tail!"
Before Max could even attempt to break free, the tail places Max down through the beast's mouth. Max is sent plummeting down inside of the beast and joined with his friends and family.
"Max! You tried saving us!" Keke cries out as she hugged the boy.
"I tried- But I'm not giving up!"
"What are you going to do?!" Sora asked frantically.
"This!"
Max launches himself across the monster's belly and delivers rapid punches towards the stomach walls. Every punch made their mark but couldn't break through the monster's exterior walls. Ice Maker looks on while laughing at his futile attempts.
"Idiot! You charged in there all on your way!" laughed Ice Maker. "If that's how badly you want to die, then I'll grant you your wish."
Max ignored the girl's laughter and continued to aimlessly punch his way through the exterior walls.
"Fool! Inside there is my territory! It's a separate dimension of space, closed off from the outside world! Once you enter my territory, it's absolutely impossible for you to leave again! The only way to save yourself is to defeat me! However, with you helpless in there, how will you ever hope to defeat me?! It's hopeless! You acted so tough, you little brat, and now you can take that petty self-satisfaction of yours to hell with you!"
Suddenly, Max turned around to find that his loved ones were quickly being turned into ice. He panicked immediately.
"KEKE! MOM! BIYOMON! MIMI! DIMITRI! PALMON!"
Max shoots out another Tsunami Wave, but it fizzled out against the ice exterior dimensional walls. He couldn't even blast his way out.
"Damn it! What's the matter with me?! I can't even blat my way out! My Tsunami Wave is useless against these dimensional walls! No! I need to be stronger to save Keke, mom and everybody trapped in here!"
"Ha! Ha! Wow! Don't you understand?! It's no use!"
Max was slowly starting to give out, much to Ice Maker's delight.
"There, what's the matter? It hurts, right? Cry out, Max Kamiya! Say, 'Please, just save me!' C'mon, show your true human self-centeredness and beg! Cry out, cry out! Like a human…!"
Suddenly, there was a sudden flash of light striking Ice Maker across the face. She stops frozen in place as she saw a small cut across her right cheek.
"What?!"
She looks across and watches Max aimlessly continue to punch his way through. There was faint yellow aura being coated around Max's fists.
"He… He couldn't have… It can't be… He's inside an alternate space that I've created in there! How could he have attacked me from in there… without transcending dimensions…? Unless, he's… the one?! He's the one?!"
Ice Maker immediately looked back to a conservation with Saitou about the possible individual with the ability to slice through dimensions. That was the one weapon needed to open the tunnel into the Dark Realm.
"We require someone with the ability to break through the peripheral barrier in subspace. Someone with the ability to cut through dimensions."
She watches as more flashes of yellow light striking through the ice beast's belly.
"It couldn't be…! You're the one we're looking for!" The one with the ability to cut through dimensions…?!"
Suddenly, Max found himself coated with purely yellow energy as a blade materialized in his right hand. Ice Maker screamed out in horror at the sight of the blade itself. The entire section of the street was glimmered with the yellow flash of light. It became very visible from a high altitude view and caused quite a commotion across Odaiba.
An Odaiba Apartment Complex. Kamiya Residence
Immediately sensing the surge of energy, Agumon, BW and Shintomon turned towards the city. Tai sits up and looks out at the light's glamour.
"What is it, guys?!" Izzy asked.
"It's Max! Tai! Max is out there and he seems to be powering up!"
"You can sense him?! We have to go and see for ourselves! He could very well be in danger! Agumon! Follow me! Shintomon, let's go!"
"Right!"
Back at the site
Max takes his newly materialized ki sword and slices his way through the ice beast. The slash easily cut it's way through and destroyed the beast in the process. The imp was caught in the fray and dissolved by the ki energy. Ice Maker takes the slash across her chest and lets out a deep gasp. She couldn't even manage to choke out a scream as the cut across her chest gashed a large amount of blood. Ice Maker falls backwards but not long before her eyes became glazed over.
"He overcame space…! He cut through my territory and attack me…! You're the one with the ability we're looking for…"
With those words said, Ice Maker falls to her knees and collapses face first onto the ground.
Max found himself free and looked across to find that his friends were safe from anymore harm. He could still sense their life energy still functioning intact. He took a glance at his new ki-sword with interest.
"I created this?! But, how?! Awesome, you saved my life there."
The boy lets out a sigh and watches as the ki-sword fades away. Much to his dismay, he went over and placed his friends one by one onto his back. For a boy his age, Max could carry a heavy load onto his back effortlessly, including a group of people.
Ice Maker managed to regain some consciousness and winched in pain from the deep gash across her chest.
"I lost?! Am I going to die…?"
Her questions would soon be answered. She looks up to find Max standing over her with his friends on his back. The boy possessed a look of rage and sadness across his face.
"You're life is in my hands now! Now I'm going to give you what you deserve after all that you've done! You tried to kill mom, Keke, her brother and my friends. You deserve to die!"
Just as he said that, Max raised his left foot and attempts to crush her head. She even closed her eyes and prayed to herself. But, she felt a hand snatch her up by her coat collar. Max picks her up with one hand and flings her onto his right shoulder.
"But, I can't do that."
"You can't…?"
"If I leave you here, you'd probably die, Ice Maker."
Max carried a heavy load and started flying out across the city district. Ice Maker looks down at the streets and gasped in shock.
"Flying…?! You can fly?!"
"I have a lot tricks up my sleeve."
"Don't tell me you're trying to save me, too…?! I just tried to murder you, your family and your friends! Why save me?"
"I'm not saving you because I want to. When people try to save others, it's not about what they want. Understand?"
"I guess… Are we going to see…"
"My father… Yeah, maybe he can help solve your questions…"
"I see… That's good… Taichi… It will be good to see you again…"
Across from the Odaiba Apartment Complex
Back at the apartment site, Shintomon teleported out with Agumon and Tai. He had detected the incoming ki from the other side of town. Agumon and Shintomon were able to pick up on Max's ki.
"Tai! It's Max! He's on his way here with everyone else!" Agumon said to his partner.
"Max?! Are they all right?"
"I'm sensing Max's ki but just barely. I hope nothing bad just happened to them."
"Let us hope you are right, Agumon. Look! Here they come now," Shintomon points out towards the skies.
The trio looked up to find Max levitating down with the crew in his clutches. Shintomon flies up to assist Max with the carrying Keke, Sora and everyone else. Max lands down with Ice Maker over his shoulder. Tai rushes up to his son with a worried look. He held Max in his arms and cradled the boy.
"Max! What just happened?! Max?"
"Dad… I'm just fine… I saved everyone from danger… Mom. Keke. They are just fine… Please, help this girl… She needs help."
"This girl? Is she by any chance associated with this Dark Angel?"
"Yes… But she's different from Doctor Akira… She has good reasons… You have to get her medical help… Hurry before she dies of blood loss."
"If only Joe were here, but Sora has plenty of bandages and a medical kit at home. Remember, that medic kit we always use?"
"Yeah…"
"Don't worry. We'll help the girl, but we're going to demand answers from her."
"Deal…"
With that said, Max immediately lost consciousness. Tai held his son in his arms and made eye contact with the body of Rei Saiba. The girl claims to know Tai from her reality, yet this Tai has no clue about her.
"Maybe we'll get some answers that we needed from this girl. Somehow, there's something familiar about this girl. It's almost as if I knew her, but how? At least, my family came back in one piece."
"Taichi. Let's get everyone back to your home," Shintomon said.
"Right."
After gathering the bodies together, Tai, Agumon and Shintomon headed back to the apartment home. They would get everyone treated, especially Max and Rei. They would then wait the next day to question Rei Saiba about her motives and more in depth truth behind Saitou's scheme.
Los Angeles
The Tamers found themselves in a tight pinch with Rage Archy. Little did they know that Max defeated the Ice Maker. Rage Archy was aware and felt his connection with Ice Maker become severed immediately after her defeat.
"Curses! That human wench let those weaklings defeat her! What a fool! Oh well. I'll make up for her failure by eliminating the Tamers myself. Yes, I have Sakuyamon as a human puppet mind slave. I doubt even the Tamers will have the stomach to slay their own human kind."
Rage Archy raises his hands and sends down an array of thunder towards the Tamers. Cyberleomon and Pikkan were able to avoid being struck down. Meanwhile, the exalted knight shielded himself from the electric blasts.
"Am I boring you, Tamers? My apologies. Allow me to turn up the electricity! I'll be sure to fry you one by one!"
"This jack ass is already starting to piss me off!" Pikkan cursed.
"Stay together everyone. This monster plans to split us apart and take us out with his electric attacks. I don't know if we penetrate through his body," Cyberleomon said. "The only possible solution is to force him to overeat the electricity."
"Overeating can be a pain," Pikkan replied. "In this case, this bird bastard is going to implode. But what can we do to overload his system?"
"By forcing him to absorb more electricity from other power line systems," Gallantmon stated. "He will only gain more power temporarily until his body can't take it anymore. From there, his control over these people should be severed. It's the only way we can set Sakuyamon free."
"Great strategy, Takato! You go and attack this monster," Cyberleomon instructed the knight. "You leave me and Pikkan to lead him towards other power line systems. We'll be sure to make him overeat. Pikkan, let's move out!"
"About time we finally set this punk up."
The two warriors set off out from the area and attempt to locate other major electrical sources. This left Gallantmon to face off with Rage Archy.
"You… I'll never forgive you for taking control of these innocent people."
"Well, isn't that reassuring?"
"But, what you are doing to Sakuyamon. No, Renamon and Rika. You've just signed your own death warrant, Rage! I'm going to tear you apart!"
"Ha! Just what can you hope to back up your threats?!"
"With this! I call upon the power of… GRANI! Gallantmon! Mode Change!"
With that said, the knight was engulfed into a bright crimson column of red light. The brief flash blinded rage Archy. The human puppets were all pushed away from the immense light. Gallantmon found himself basked by a red aura of light and transformed into a new warrior. His armor was crimson and a pair of angelic swords appeared at each hand.
"Gallantmon! Crimson Mode!"
Rage Archy uncovered his eyes and looked upon the magnificent appearance of Crimson Gallantmon. He gasped in shock.
"So, I guess you weren't expecting this? Does my power simply amaze you?" Gallantmon chuckled.
"…Well! Your power certainly has grown, but it's still not enough to penetrate through my body."
"Heh. Want to see if you're right? Let's give my swords a try."
Rage Archy charges forward and prepares to crush Gallantmon along the way. However, Crimson Gallantmon saw the charging beast coming and phases out from harm. The crimson knight reappears above Rage Archy and strikes him in the head with his Invincible Swords. The avarian giant lets out a horrifying screech that echoed throughout the city. Gallantmon powers up and creates a red flare over his armored body.
"Take this! Invincible Swords!"
With a loud battle cry, Gallantmon slashes through Rage Archy's belly and plows through the other side. A massive, gaping hole was created through the beast's torso.
"That certainly didn't kill him, but it should slow him down. C'mon, Pikkan. Leomon. Find those electric powerhouses. We're going to give this guy the biggest indigestion he's ever had in his short life."
Gallantmon takes off through the city and attempts to psyche the avarian giant. Rage Archy came to his senses and looked down at the gaping hole through his torso. His head started to steam up with anger boiling within his systems.
"You little insect! You can't run from me! I'll find you and when I do… What? I'm sensing the location of available electric energy sources. Yes, this is exactly what I needed! Once I absorb all of it's power, then I shall crush those insolent Tamers! It's feeding time!"
Rage Archy takes off through the city while stomping his way. The human puppets followed his path as if they were mice following the Pied Piper. Rage Archy looks across to find a numerous collection of powerhouses from beyond the city. It was almost as if the beast were already in heaven. He smiled deviously.
"Ah, perfect! Energy sources before my very own eyes! I'm in paradise! This is all I need to defeat these wretched fools!"
With that said, the monster heads off towards the powerhouses and sends out tentacles to each powerhouse. He started to collect as much energy as he could to increase not only his size but also his electric power.
"Yes! Yes! This is all the power I need! Tamers, you are finished!"
"Ha, is that so?" Pikkan calls out.
Rage Archy caught onto the Alterian's voice and turns to find him standing near an outlet switch. This switch would accelerate the speed and power of the electric power. He turns to another direction and finds Cyberleomon standing near another switch outlet.
"What's the meaning of this…? I don't understand the meaning of this."
"Its simple, monster. We've outsmarted you!"
"Wha…?"
"Once they turn the switches, you'll be overeating the electric energy and ultimately even you will give out. Your body isn't going to take it and will detonate in the process. So, bon appetite!"
Giving a direct signal to his comrades, Cyberleomon and Pikkan activated the switches. The power from each electric station sent out a tremendous amount of electricity directly through Rage Archy's tentacle channels. The monster cried out once the large amount of electric energy was transferred into his body. He could only absorb a moderate amount at a time. Over consumption will only lead to the monster's own demise. Rage Archy's body started to detonate as parts of his body exploded piece by piece.
"That's it! Once his body breaks down, he'll weaken and be returned to normal size. There will be no way he'll win against the three of us. If I'm right, then his control over these people will be severed. Sakuyamon will be free. Sorry, Rage, but there will be no human causalities as long as we're around! I won't let human death weigh in on my conscious. Ok, guys! That'll be enough!"
Pikkan and Cyberleomon deactivated the outlet switches immediately before the powerhouses detonated in the process. The trio watched as Rage Archy was quickly reducing in size and the slime on his body started to melt away. His control over the people was severed as a result. Crimson Gallantmon felt Rage Archy's power depleting down to it's weakest.
"It's done. Rage has been reduced to a weakling. Now, we can destroy what's left of him and take back that piece of the digicore. But, first things first…"
Gallantmon flies off deep into the city and finds Sakuyamon lying sprawled on a pile of debris. He picks up the golden-clad female.
"Sakuyamon. Sakuyamon… It's me. Are you all right?"
"Gallantmon…? What just happened?"
"We've already beaten the monster. Well, actually, we've weakened him and he's shrunk down into a runt. All there's left to do is destroy what's left of him and take his digicore."
"Oh, I see."
With Sakuyamon recuperating from the effects, Gallantmon rejoined with his comrades. They looked around to see that every person was lying across the city. They would be in unconscious states until the effects fully wore off. Sakuyamon walks up towards her comrades.
"Way to go, guys! That was awesome!" Jeri calls out. "We've won!"
"No just yet, Jeri," Pikkan replied. "He's not gone. Though, he won't be a threat to us anymore."
"All right, Rage! It's over! Come on out and show yourself!" Gallantmon calls out to the monster.
Suddenly, a pile of debris dropped and out emerged Rage Archy. He has returned to his normal, tiny size. He pants heavily from the severe loss of power. The monster no longer posed a threat to the Tamers. Gallantmon steps out and bends over to face Rage Archy with a menacing glare.
"Now, surrender and hand us the digicore."
"Yes… I can't win in this size and form… There's no way to ensure victory… Please, take the digicore. You've earned it…"
"Ah, thank goodness. The digicore is ours, guys!" the crimson knight stated.
"Allow me to take it," Jeri said with glee.
The girl steps forward and crawls over to the fallen monster. Rage Archy lets out a deep sigh and lies sprawled onto the surface. As Jeri reached out for the digicore exposed on Rage's chest, the monster quickly sprung a sinister trap. Jeri screamed as she found a wall of slime about to consume her whole.
"Now! You're mine, human!"
"PIKKAN!"
Calling out to her Alterian boyfriend, Pikkan flies out and snatches away Jeri from Rage's clutches. Gallantmon had seen enough of the beast's treacherous schemes and quickly powers up.
"Let that rat bastard have it, Gallantmon!" Sakuyamon calls out. "Allow me to assist! SPIRIT STRIKE!"
"FINAL JUSTICE!"
"JUSTICE FIST!" Cyberleomon cries out.
"THUNDER FLASH ATTACK!"
The four-way blasts collided with Rage Archy at once and quickly disintegrated the beast in the process. His screams echoed throughout the city until they faded into obscurity. Once rage's body broke down into data, all that was left was one half of the digicore. Gallantmon picks up the digicore and lets out a deep sigh.
"Your data is not worth absorbing, Rage. May you rot where you go."
"Yes! We did it, guys!" Jeri giggled. "Pikkan! We've got a digicore in our possession!"
"Yeah. Isn't it great?"
"It's only a matter of time before we capture all seven of them," Cyberleomon stated. "Two monsters already defeated. Something tells me the next set of monsters will be our greatest tests. This is only just the beginning."
"Well, all I can say is that this is the first step into the right direction," Sakuyamon spoke.
"You're right. Tai. It's all up to you to find out the perpetrator behind this whole mess," Gallantmon said while looking up into the Los Angeles skies.
Los Angeles and the many cities of America were at safe hands with Rage Archaeopteryxmon gone. He and Haze Frogmon were permanently exterminated. Only five more monsters were left to go, but could Cyberleomon be correct on his assumption. Is the next set going to prove to be difficult to overcome? Only time will tell. Whatever the case maybe, the monsters must be exterminated if they hope to follow up with Tai to stop the mastermind of the Synister tunnel's reopening.
Back in Odaiba. Apartment home of Saitou
The darkened skies loomed over another tall apartment building. Deep within the background, a bright full moon shone ominously over the building.
Inside the home of Saitou, the sinister mastermind was sitting on c chair. Saitou looks out through his window and gazes upon the full moon's magnificent view. He felt the presence of Hideto entering the room.
"Saitou-san…"
"You're here, Hideto. Pardon me for not calling you by your proper code name, but I'm in a more somber mood. I've found someone with the ability to cut through the anti-Synister barrier field. We'll move on to the next operation."
"Right. That's why I brought along our colleague, Sigma the Gourmet, along."
Entering through the front door with Hideto was a short boy wearing a funky-looking mask. His eyes underneath the mask were sinister yet eerie. Little was known about this spell caster except that his codename was Gourmet.
"That's good."
Saitou sits up from his chair and turns his attention over to his aquarium. He went on to address the next phase of the operation to Myotismon, whose remains were still recovering from within the aquarium.
"Myotismon, the time has come to let us borrow your powers. It's time for you to contribute to our valuable cause."
"Let me at those foolish Digi-Destined. I'd do anything to kill them one by one. I'll start by slitting Angewomon's throat and devouring that eighth child. Then, I shall do away with Taichi and the other Digi-brats. Of course, I cannot do anything in this body, but if you could just wait a little longer…"
Just then, Myotismon looked up to find a hand reaching down into the aquarium. Sigma reached in, grabbed Myotismon's remains and removed his mask to reveal to hideously widened mouth.
"Hey! What is this?! Stop!"
Saitou looks on patiently as a shadow of Sigma was seen from the background. His mouth widened as large as a python's and he easily swallowed Myotismon's remains.
"NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ARGHH…!"
"Good. Now we begin with phase two," Saitou said in thought. "Rage was defeated along with Ice Maker. No matter. We have the information on the one with the weapon to break through the barrier. That's all that matters at the moment. Everything is still going accordingly as planned."
Next morning. Back at the Kamiya Residence
The ghostly night skies gave way to a more peaceful morning. The sun shone brightly over the busy city. Back at the Kamiya residence, a situation was set to brew and that would heavily involve with the girl named Rei Saiba.
Rei found herself in a bed after opening her eyes. She looks across her chest and found that she was bandaged up. Her red coat and black long-sleeve were removed to reveal her pink shirt. After gazing upon the bandages, Rei immediately sat up and found herself face-to-face with none other than Tai Kamiya. Behind Tai were Mimi, Sora, Izzy, Shintomon, Agumon and the other digimon. Keke and Dimitri kneeled side by side near Max, who was sleeping heavily in a sleeping bag. His forehead was covered with a wet towel to keep his fever down.
"Oh! Taichi…?!"
"Yo."
"So… So you're really Taichi Kamiya?"
"In the flesh. Man, I really must be a celebrity household name these days."
"You're a little older and more handsome…"
"Um, thank you. Yeah, Max told me everything about you. You're from a different time and space. Somehow, you know a younger version of Sora and myself. So, you ought to be familiar with us."
"Yes, but I never expected you to get married."
"We've had our ups and downs. Heck, we've already had our own kid."
"Your son is quite gifted and a darling. He'll grow up to be a kind and brave young man."
"Let's cut to the chase, Rei Saiba."
"Ok… Where am I?"
"In my home, more specifically in our bedroom. Sora and I sleep there. Once I returned from going out and looking around like crazy for you guys, I saw my son coming, after having carried you guys."
Rei turns around to see Max sleeping peacefully. She looked across at Keke and Dimitri, who both gave her cold glares.
"I tell you, that boy usually does the craziest things," Sora chuckled. "But I can't help it."
"And we're all right just to let you know," Mimi stated. "But don't think we'll look you straight in the eye again."
"You caused us enough grief as it is," Palmon snapped.
"Ease it down, guys," Biyomon said. "Let's give her time to explain herself."
"It's imperative. We have to earn her trust," Izzy stated.
"So, let's treat her as our guest," buzzed Tentomon.
"We heard about you from Sora and Biyomon," Shintomon informed the girl.
"Now we're going to have you tell us everything you know," Tai said.
"Now, please starting talking. It's important that we know the truth. No more games," Agumon replied.
"We should warn you. Staying silent isn't going to help any," the Digi-Destined leader spoke. "See, we've got ourselves a friend who has the ability to read through a spell caster's thoughts. My son saved your life and you owe him big. Now, start talking."
"Starting talking now!" Max yells out.
Rei gasped in shock and turned around to see Max thrashing in his sleep. The group realized that the boy was merely talking in his sleep.
"Yeah… Give me those basketball cards!"
"Is he talking in his sleep again?" Mimi wondered.
"Of course, he always does that. It's sometimes entertaining," Sora chuckled. "He comes up with the weirdest things in his sleep."
Rei focuses her attention back onto Tai, Agumon and Shintomon. They were waiting for an answer. She finally gives in and develops tears in her eyes. She trembled and held the blanket over her.
"You don't understand… You haven't seen what I have… We should all die."
"By 'we', do you mean yourself and your friends?" asked Shintomon.
"No. I mean all of 'us'. All of mankind to be precise. You guys… You guys would think so too if you had seen that CD!"
"What CD?" asked Izzy.
"What CD is that?" Agumon wondered.
"It's the CD labeled The Human Armageddon."
"What?! You've actually seen that top secret?!" Shintomon asked frantically.
"That's right. It's a CD that will show you with one viewing of just how cruel the things humans have done up to now are."
"No. Not The Human Armageddon!"
"I'm guessing you heard of it, Shintomon?" Tai asked.
"Yes. It's a top secret CD, kept in a giant materials hall within the Holy Realm of my planet. I only seen a few minutes and immediately hid it away."
"That good of a flick?"
"That's not it, Taichi. It's a record of the crimes committed by the darker side of the human race. Many dark-hearted individuals wanted it. Mankind has come to commit all sorts of crime unimaginable. The most cruel and brutal among them are recorded on it. It runs for thousands of hours."
Thoughts began to linger within Shintomon's thoughts of the hideous images he gazed upon through the CD viewing. He remembered numerous races of humans being lined up into slave camps. There were a large number of life humans being hung even for the sheer cruel pleasure of others. He even remembered the smiles, glees and hideous laughter from these cruel humans. Most graphic of all were images of dismemberments and beheadings of other people.
"I watched only a few minutes and refused to believe what I say. I only see the good within humans and ignore the evil. I had no idea it was related to this current situation."
"There were so many horrifying images marching across that screen. You don't know how we are and what we are capable of," Rei spoke. "That's why you act like you're good people. I saw it all. If you guys saw that film, your sense of values would change! You'd say that humanity is not worthy of living. And that's why-"
Tai had heard enough from the poison the girl was spewing out from those statements alone. He screams out angrily and knocks his chair back.
"That's why what, Rei?! That's why all of mankind has to become chow for these Synister monsters?!"
"Tai! Calm down!" Sora calls out to her husband.
"That's right! You still don't know what kind of creature you are, Taichi! Humanity seemed good to you because you were born back during a peaceful time. But wars are apart of our nature and are everlasting. There is no such thing as an eternal paradise and a utopia."
"What?"
"Taichi. Have you ever seen a long line of people being rounded up together to get killed at a concentration camp? Have you ever seen someone being toyed with, while they knew that they were going to die the next day? How about invaders dancing over the bodies of their victims and crushing them while singing happy songs?! What about the atomic bombs destroying cities in Japan during World War II?! Thousands of innocent people were wiped out and defenseless to do anything to stop it! Or how about civil wars where a mother is slaughtered in front of her children… Or even a child being slaughtered in front of his/her own mother?! Do you understand? The men can laugh as they kill other people…! I'm sure that even you could do so! You just haven't realized it!"
Everyone was stunned in silence by every detail Rei has given to them according to the CD viewings. The males were pumped with mixed emotions while the ladies were literally breaking down in tears. How could anyone even let a child like Rei be poisoned with such graphic and horrifying images of mankind's historical crimes?
Sora helped lead Mimi out of the room. The light-hearted woman was breaking down into uncontrollable tears after hearing the horrifying details.
"Let's go, Mimi. There's no need to listen to anymore of this."
With the two ladies gone from the room, Tai focuses his attention back onto Rei.
"So, you think you're that kind of person, Rei?!"
"That's right! And so are you, underneath it all!"
"What about my son, Max? He saved you. I asked him why he would save someone like you. Want to know what he said? He said you looked like you were crying out for help. I didn't want to believe it at first, but looking at you, somehow I understand. I'm sure my alternate self would understand too. Max maybe young, but he has a good heart. He actually cared about you. I guess you didn't expect that."
Rei cried to herself into tears and buried her face onto the blankets. She couldn't believe that Max actually cared for her and wanted to help her.
"When I sleep at night, I'm pestered by dreams about that CD film, and I wake up! Just last night, the people who were killed were all looking into my direction! It was almost enough to make me feel like I had done all those killings. More and more, I see myself as nothing more than a disgusting creature of darkness. I feel like I wanted to make amends for something, but I don't know what for!"
Keke began to feel sorry for the pitiful girl. Her eyes swelled up with remorseful tears.
"It feels like I'm going insane. I just wanted someone to tell me what to do! It didn't matter whom. Damn it all! Damn it!"
"Taichi. Let's go and allow this poor girl to get some rest," Shintomon said.
"Sure."
"Besides, she's harmless now."
"Leave her with us," Keke said. "Dimitri and I will watch over these two."
"Sounds good. Agumon. Shintomon. Let's go out outside on the balcony."
With that said, Tai led his digimon partner and the higher power out to get some fresh air. A lot had been said from out of Rei Saiba's mouth. They were in disbelief by everything said about the CD. Tai lets out a deep sigh.
"The most cruel and brutal things from among all of the evil that mankind has done," Tai repeated from what has been said. "That CD has all our all-time worsts."
"It has to be a really scary experience, Tai."
"I can imagine," stated Shintomon. "A regular person would probably change their outlook on humanity before watching all of five minutes of it."
"Geez, Shintomon. Don't scare me like that. You're going to make me all nervous, you know."
"Don't worry, Taichi. In the end, wickedness of heart is only one aspect of humanity as a whole."
"I guess you're right."
"However, its no surprise that she would believe that that's all there is to humanity. The contents of The Human Armageddon CD are just that violent and miserable. As a result, I've heard that there are only a limited number of individuals even in the Digital Universe that can view it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tai immediately gives Shintomon a suspicious glare. The higher power digimon chuckled and waved his hand to calm the leader down.
"Pardon me, Taichi. My apologies."
"Geez, you really are trying to scare me, Shintomon."
"More importantly, I didn't tell you where I went last night after bringing your friends and family into your home, did I?"
"Oh, yeah. Now that you mention it. Where did you go?"
"I went back to my realm to check with the elder, Gosenzomon, and X."
"X and Gosenzomon? Why didn't you just tell us sooner?"
"There was something I had to ask from them, but more specifically with X. Yesterday, his words were still vague, but in view of that testimony just not, it's all become clear. X knows the identity of the mastermind."
"He… WHAT?!"
"I'm about to go ask X about-"
However, Shintomon found himself speaking alone. He found that Tai and Agumon were gone. Suddenly, he heard Tai's voice ringing out from the bedroom.
"X! Earth to X! You better speak now before you forever hold your damn peace! Clear all this up to me! If you don't tell me right away, I'll quit my job as your apprentice!"
Shintomon immediately fell back and laughed to himself.
"Not quite like I planned."
Tai quickly gathered everyone, besides Sora and Mimi, together to listen in to what X was prepared to say. X speaks out telepathically to the crew.
"I see. That CD has been used, then? I guess it's all conclusive now."
"Listen, X! You've suspected all along who the culprit is, haven't you?!" Tai exclaimed. "Why the hell haven't you told me?!"
"While it's true that I didn't have any conclusive evidence, I just didn't want to believe it. That would have to be my real reason."
"Cut to the case, pal!"
"Let me start with the conclusion. The mastermind's name is Himo Saitou."
With that name revealed, an image of Saitou present day identity was shown through their minds. Tai immediately pointed him out. It was the same man from the day Oikawa was sent to the hospital.
"Take a look at that face, everyone. He was the apprentice of mine long before you, Tai."
This stunning revelation brought immediate shock to everyone in the room, including Tai. He certainly did not see this coming. Tai wasn't even aware that he was a successor of a warrior before him. Another image of Saitou was displayed through their minds. It was one of Saitou during his middle school days.
"Here's an image of Saitou from when he was my apprentice. He would have been close to high school at the time."
"That face! That's definitely the guy I saw! He was a lot older, though," Tai said.
"He was a man with a strong sense of justice. He was almost too scrupulous. It was about twenty years ago now that he disappeared. Right before he vanished, there was something that he was always saying. 'Is mankind worthy of living? Are they worth protecting?' Then there was the loss of The Human Armageddon CD. He disappeared at the sometime the CD was gone. But why is he back now? Be careful, Tai! He's very lethal. I'm heading down there to explain his past in full detail."
Tai sunk into disbelief at the possibility of a previous apprentice before him. He couldn't believe that he was not informed of Saitou in the first place.
"Saitou… I'm not going to let that bastard mess up our world!"
Elsewhere within Odaiba District.
Saitou stood out on his apartment balcony while gazing across the heavens and pictured X in his mind.
"I gave you a chance, X. I waited until you had a replacement for me. How about we settle this? Let's see if humanity should live or die."
Another monster defeated and Ice Maker rescued, the mastermind of the operation has been revealed to be Himo Saitou. He was the former apprentice of X, just before Taichi ever saw his first digimon. Just what exactly drove him to desire the entire human race extinction? Will X reveal Saitou's past? What brings Millenniumon into the picture and what kind of alliance did he make with Saitou in the first place? These questions will be revealed…

Now, let's get on with the fic. Enjoy the read!
After Tai and his friends defeated Dr. Myuumon, Earth became bombarded by an array of natural and unnatural phenomenon. Millenniumon tainted the digicores with his evil essence to create the seven monsters of destruction. It was now learned, the digicores were split and embedded in each monster to grant them tremendous powers. Our heroes split into four groups across the planet to search out for the seven monsters. First, Takuya and his comrades spirit evolved into the warriors to face off with Haze Frogmon, the weakest of the seven monsters. With the aid of Kaiser Greymon, Haze Frogmon was exterminated and a digicore was taken. The Tamers fought a tough battle with Rage Archaeopteryxmon. Gallantmon Crimson Mode and his allies successfully defeated the reptilian-bird to capture the second half of a digicore. Things are looking up for our heroes worldwide, but there now remain five monsters. Next on the hit list is Lamiamon in Paris, Frace. Hikari! Takeru! Dorothy! Henry! It's up to you to gain the digicore half piece!
Meanwhile, convinced that mankind is evil, Rei Saiba AKA the Ice Maker, displayed anger towards Max, who was risking his life to save his friends and family. With only a limited arsenal of attacks, Max was caught in the crossfire of Ice Maker's ice monsters. However, on the verge of death, Max exhibited a new power, that of slicing through dimensions and defeating the Ice Maker. Awakening in bed the next morning, Rei Saiba was bewildered as to what to do. He then told Tai and the others that the reason for this was a top-secret CD from the Holy Realm. And so, pressed for answers be Tai, X revealed some unexpected information on the mastermind.
"The name of the mastermind of this operation is Himo Saitou. He was my apprentice before you came along, Tai."

Lamiamon Steals Takeru's Soul! Prelude to the Destined Battle, Taichi and Saitou Face Off!
Paris, France
The city of Paris has been clogged up with a tremendous amount of fog recently. This was probably another indication of the climatic changes caused by the tunnel's opening. In this exact French city, the third monster is hiding within the wings.
TK and Kari had split their team up into four groups. Kari and Gatomon searched around within the northern sections of Paris. Over at the western portion of the city, Dorothy led Tike and Kara through. Henry, Terriermon, Lopmon and Suzie checked around in the eastern side. Checking around the southern post, TK and Patamon were searching for any clues to the whereabouts of the monster.
The blonde-haired young man sat down on a sidewalk and lets out a deep sigh. The fog was getting thicker and harder to see through. However, Patamon was able to sniff out for anything peculiar.
"TK. Let's not give up. We're on the right track. My nose is picking up a scent."
"Does it happen by any chance be the monster we're looking for?"
"Well… Not so far…"
"Be sure to point out the monster's location."
"I wish I could, but the fog is getting thicker and I still can't pick up on its energy signal."
"Man, I hope Kari and the crew already found clues by now," TK sighed.
"Let's hope so, TK. For our sake."
Western section of Paris
The laughter of the Takaishi children echoed through the empty streets. Dorothy sat down on a dumpster and watched the children pair fly around aimlessly around each other.
"You're it, Kara!"
"No, you're it, Tike!"
"Take it back!"
"No! You take it back!"
"No, you!"
"You!"
"Cut it out you two!" Dorothy snapped. "Don't make me put you two to sleep, because I can do just that with my powers."
"Eep! She's right! Remember, Dorothy was once the D-Reaper," Kara gulped.
"Yeah. Don't want to piss off the D-Reaper's reincarnation," Tike said.
The teen girl chuckled to herself and made an evil look towards the children. They crept back as she held a hand out in front of them.
"That's right, kids. From what your Uncle Tai told me, I pretty much messed everyone up. I even absorbed your loving parents to add more power to my being. If you make me mad enough, well… Let's just say that old D-Reaper will reawaken stronger than ever. You don't want that do you?"
"Um, no ma'm!" they blurted out in unison.
"chuckle You don't have to call me, ma'm. I'm only a teenager. That only makes me sound old.'
"Okay, Dorothy," Tike replied. "By the way, we still haven't any clues on the monster's tracks."
"I'm not able to pick up on its ki," Dorothy said. "It's doing a really good job concealing not just its energy signal but it's appearance within this thick fog. Let's be sure to stay alert, kids."
The twins nodded and stayed close to the teen. Dorothy leaps off from the dumpster and launches herself across onto a rooftop. She looks out towards the Eiffel Tower.
"At this point, the monster will already have collected enough human souls. No wonder I'm sensing a lot of energy signals rapidly fading away by the masses. I hope everyone else is having better luck than we are."
Eastern section
With Terriermon bickering about the fog, Henry ignored his partner's whining. Accompanying them was Suzie and Lopmon.
"Henry! This fog is not doing us any favors! If only we had ourselves one of those windshield wiper hats, what do you think?"
"I wish…"
Suzie runs across the street but not long before Lopmon was catching up to her.
"C'mon, Suzie. Lets stick together," the brown-furred rabbit said.
"To make matters worse, we still haven't found that dang blasted monster! If it had shown up, I would have stood up to it and proceed to layeth the smacketh down on his candy ass!"
"That's big talk coming from a little guy. You think you back up those threats, pal?" Henry laughed.
"Them no threats, Henry! Them not fighting words either! I'm really serious about this."
"Oh really? Would you really say it directly towards the monster's face?"
"I'll clue in you on that one, later. I need to memorize a really good threat speech. Let's see here…"
"Once the monster shows itself, Terriermon won't even have time to think of a good threat. What matters is that we find this monster, defeat it and take the digicore piece to restore every human soul in this city. It's not hard to imagine that a monster of Millenniumon was able to successfully absorb every human soul within an entire day. TK. Kari. I hope you two have found it's whereabouts by now… I don't want to spend more time in this eerie ghost city…"
Northern section
Much like everyone else, Kari and Gatomon found no traces of the monster. The young woman grew frustrated and looks out towards the Arch of Triumph. She was also worried for the well being of her husband and children.
"Gatomon. Anything yet?"
"Not a chance. I'm not sensing anything. We might as well find a needle in the giant haystack."
"I hope the kids are doing all right, but I'm sure Dorothy is watching them as we speak. These poor people. They didn't deserve such a horrible fate."
"Their souls were extracted by the monster. There's no doubt about that."
"I can't wait to give this monster a piece of my mind," growled Kari. "Two monsters have already been beaten according to Gosenzomon. All we need to do is take down five more and we have all the digicores together. Monster, you better show yourself now and quit hiding like a cowardly snake."
Southern section
Back within the southern section, TK and Patamon were alone on the streets. The skies were becoming darker and quieter by the minute that passes by. TK certainly did not like the idea of being out alone in a totally silent, dark environment.
"I'm beginning to not like this place. Paris is supposed to be romantic but this is not my idea of a romantic vacation," TK sighed.
"You're right. It's too quiet if you ask me," Patamon commented.
"Me too, buddy. I wonder what happened here in the first place with these people. I can't even feel a single soul here."
"That's because a monster stole the souls of people here," a voice calls out from out of the fog.
The young man and his digimon turned around to find a young man walking out from the thick fog. She has long, silver hair with red bangs highlighted. She has pale skin and amber eyes. The woman's attire consisted of a black jacket, with a pink shirt and black short pants. Noticeable around her neck was a necklace with a red stone embedded in it. She was had quite the magnificent figure and was simply a beauty to behold. She was a rare beauty yet very mysterious.
"Who are you?" TK asked.
"I am Lana. The streets of Paris have been like this since a monster came here and stole the souls of the people here."
"Monster?!" Patamon growled. "Tell us something we already know."
"Tell me. What does this monster look like? It's supposed to be one of Millenniumon's seven incarnations!"
"It's a horrible monster," replied Lana. "It was a half woman and half black leopard creature. She looked like a feline version of the legendary centaur. It killed my family and I'm left alone! It's been chasing me!"
Lana cried out and buried her face onto TK's shoulder. The young man didn't know what to do but he put a hand over her back to calm her.
"Calm down, miss. Can you show us where this monster is? You can bet we will defeat her."
Lana removed herself from TK and looked directly into his blue eyes. Her expression changed from a sad frown into a smile. She steps away calmly and giggled.
"Is there something wrong, miss?"
"No. But, you said you would defeat the monster yourself?"
"If I have to, yes I will."
"Oh really? That's nice but I have to let you in on a little secret," Lana chuckled. "Want to know? Dearest human. Your search is over. You've already found it."
With that said, Lana's eyes glowed a crimson flare. A whip materialized in her hands and she immediately takes it out. Lana uses the whip to strike both TK and Patamon unknowingly. The young man is sent scaling backwards with a cut across his right hand. Patamon lands on the ground with an injured wing.
Even before the pair had a chance to call out a fusion, Lana takes the time to snatch them both by their necks. The woman's form quickly started to undergo a quick metamorphosis. TK gasped as he saw Lana in her true form. She now has long, pointed ears like and elf's. She was wearing black armor covering her chest and a pair of black gloves. From the waist down was a body of a black leopard and her upper hand was that of a human woman. Her eyes were completely crimson in color like blood. Lana had now become the third monster of Millenniumon. On her forehead was a half piece of a digicore.
"Allow me to introduce myself, cutie," the female beast spoke. "I am Lamiamon, one of the seven monsters."
Lamiamon. Type: Demon-Man Digimon. Level: Mega. Special Attacks: Thunder Whip, Darkness Lighting Claws and Darkness Huntress
Lamiamon inches closer to TK and plants a seductive kiss on his lips. The blonde struggled to break free but he felt portions of his life energy being drained away. His eyes widened further once he noticed his soul beginning to depart from his human form. Once extracting his entire soul, Lamiamon drops TK on the ground and turns her attention over Patamon.
"Now my little friend. I'm going to use you as bait. I want to see how strong this child of light is," Lamiamon laughed. "I want to gaze upon the eyes of the very individual who defeated the artificial Virus. Hikari, I know you are here. Come out, come out, wherever you are."
As Lamiamon steps into the fog cloud with Patamon hostage, the lifeless body of TK remained sprawled on the ground. There was no hope for Takeru for the moment. It was now up to Kari and the others to stop Lamiamon and release the souls of the people she has stolen. The monster sought only to battle Kari and that she will soon receive.

Kari immediately stopped at her tracks and felt her heart pump faster than normal. A cold chill rushed past her. It was as if something wrong had occurred and she knew too well that an evil presence has caused harm to one of her family members.
"Kari…? What is it?"
"Strange. My heart is starting to beat really fast. It's almost like something terrible has taken place. No! Something wrong must have happened to the children or even TK!"
"Are you sure?!"
"If my assumptions are correct… I have a very strong connection with those three as you should know already. C'mon, we have to get back and check with TK first."
"What about the children?"
"They'll be safe with Dorothy. C'mon, let's go find TK!"
With an approving nod, Gatomon follows Kari down the streets leading towards a bridge. On the other side, that was where Lamiamon was last seen. Kari hopes to find TK, but little does she realize that he has already been drained of his soul.
"TK! I'm on my way!"
Back in Odaiba. Kamiya Residence
Later that day since the stunning announcement made by X, the masked warrior arrived in time to be confronted by Tai. He calmed his apprentice down long enough for him to give a full explanation behind Saitou's dark past.
Tai gathered Shintomon, Sora, Izzy, BW, Agumon and other remaining digimon. X sits down on a chair next to the dining table to prepare for his explanation.
"An enemy just like you, Tai? I certainly wasn't expecting that," said BW. "Sucks to be you."
"Tell me about it. Ok, Shintomon. No more games. What the hell is this about?"
"Don't look at me. I never even gave this Saitou character any background check. He never even seemed like a threat because my hands were tied with the D-Reaper fiasco."
"You don't know? Yet you call yourself watcher over the many digital worlds."
"Tai. That's enough!" Sora snapped.
"Let's just stick to business," Shintomon sighed. "We are here to discuss Saitou."
Back on the other side of them apartment home, Keke and Mimi were putting more bandages over Rei's back. Dimitri stuck by to guard the room just in case of any intruders, including anymore of Saitou's accomplices.
"Now, that should do it," Keke said. "I wish Kara were here. She's better at taking care of the sick and injured."
"Darn. We're almost out of bandages," Mimi said. "Palmon, go find some more."
"I'm on it!"
As Palmon left the room, Max stepped out of the bathroom and joined everyone else in the dining room. X was prepared to explain to the group about Saitou's dark past.
"Ok, I was overhearing your conversation, guys. Can't a kid get his beauty rest?" Max said.
"Good afternoon, sleepy head. Did you get a full rest?" Sora giggled.
"I'm fully energized and ready to go! Let's hear this story on this Saitou character. I was hearing that he was a former apprentice of yours, X. He was the one before my dad?"
"Yes. What kind of a dirty bastard was he?" BW wondered.
"What's more, as your former apprentice, he's supposed to be defending mankind," Shintomon said. "Why would Saitou change his position 180-degrees, and come to threaten mankind?"
"Sounds like a preverbal nut who needs a life," Izzy commented.
"Sshh, let's give X to explain his side of the story," Tentomon said to his cynical human friend.
"Exactly! How did you get him so messed up so much to put our planet in danger?" Max asked. "Tell us!"
Finally, X gives into their demands and cleared his throat. He lets out a sigh and proceeds to explain.
"Himo Saitou was born with strong spiritual powers. As a result, from the time he was a child, he has survived, while constantly having his life sought after by invading digimon from digital breeches."
Flashback
Fast forward to five years before Tai saw his first digimon, Saitou as a five year old was being ambushed by a clan of Ice Devimon. He quickly puts up a barrier and disintegrates them easily.
"Hypnos wasn't exactly around to control the digimon numbers. So, Saitou played the role as digimon exterminator and protected the lives of those threatened by these dark digimon. At the tender age of five, he could even slay Devimon or even Myotismon effortlessly."
Fast forward five years later… Ten-year old Saitou was standing off with a Piedmon. This was an entirely different Piedmon from the one the Digi-Destined are familiar with. The dark jester charges forward with his twin swords. As soon as he went to slash the boy, Saitou simply waved his hand through Piedmon's neck. As a result, he decapitates Piedmon in the process.
"Impossible… How could a child defeat me without a digimon…?"
Saitou picks up the Piedmon head and holds it up as a newly acquired trophy.
"The very existence of these virus-types is evil. Just like the others, you have become judged, Piedmon."
As soon as he said that, Saitou uses his ki energy to disintegrate Piedmon rather easily.
End of Flashback
"He had a strong sense of justice. But there was one incident that made him reverse himself, and distrust humanity."
"What was it?" Sora asked.
"He saw the universe as black and white. Ying and yang. Light and darkness. He saved the good and judged the evil. But, he soon realized the shades of gray. It came about because of an order I gave him. As it stands, it was the last order I gave him."
"What kind of case?" Max wondered.
"The orders were to close up a tunnel that connected to the Dark Realm," the masked man explained.
"What?! That's the same thing we're doing now!" Tai exclaimed.
"It was on a different scale. The entrance to the tunnel back then wasn't the large-scale one that is now. It was a small-scale tunnel, 10 meters in diameter at most, for summoning low-level dark beasts like Devimon, his icy counterpart and many ultimate-level monsters. It was conducted by a group of sinister human fanatics. The digimon captured were summoned to process into showcase and exhibits. Some were even released to spring terror on innocent bystanders. Ever hear of the old tales of the Jersey Devil? I believe it's a Devimon. Or how about Bigfoot? Or the Lochness monster? Yes, there's a good chance that they are the dark digimon that either migrated or were released by the fanatics to scare the masses."
"Jersey Devil?! Lochness? So there were digimon here long before I was born?!" Tai exclaimed. "Unbelievable…"
"Those conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day when they find out that those urban legend creatures are actually digimon," Izzy stated. "I'll have to post up a website on the matter."
"Yes, these fanatics were given help in the process. There was only one sinister individual responsible for releasing the dark digimon onto Earth in the first place: Burizalor."
"That monster?!" BW cried out.
"Him?! That bastard! So he was doing this before I was ever born?!" Tai asked frantically. "So he knew about Earth, but why didn't he destroy it in the first place."
"He had other priorities then. He was more of a trader and merchant before proceeding to becoming a terror," X explained. "Burizalor was given a word from a dark god himself to release these digimon and to sell them to these fanatics. He and the dark god started it all."
Flashback
Proceeding with their mission, Saitou and another colleague dashed off towards the compound leading to a military base. Saitou and his partner leaped over the security fences while escaping the blasts from the machine guards.
"We came by some information that a large trade of Corrupt digimon was taking place in a private military base. I sent Saitou and a partner named Tetsuo after them. At the time, Saitou employed a group of Corrupts that were so weak, that were nothing in comparison to the Demon Corps, Burizalor himself or even Datamon's artificials."
The partners plowed their way through Corrupt digimon guards. They headed down the hall with Saitou taking the lead. He makes a u-turn and headed down towards a pair of massive doors.
"The raid was a success, and they pursued Burizalor and the other corrupt organizations until they were just one step away…"
As soon as Saitou blasts his way through the doors, he immediately froze in place. His eyes gazed upon perhaps one of the most horrifying images he has ever witnessed. Shades of gray buried every ounce of black and white.
"Unfortunately, Saitou saw something she shouldn't have seen"
End of Flashback
"What?! Something he shouldn't have seen?!" asked Biyomon.
"I'm not liking where this is going," said Agumon.
"Tell me about," Max replied.
"What the hell was it? Don't joke around, X," Tai stated promptly.
"What you might call the ultimate in the evil workings of mankind. In other words, it's the reckless show of indulgence in humanity's darkest side," said X.
Flashback
The room was exposed to be a living slaughterhouse. Blood and data were splattered across the walls. There were agonizing screams coming from helpless digimon. Human laughter was heard. Saitou had gazed into what is described as a doorway to hell itself.
"It was an orgy of wickedness, unthinkable in either worlds…"
A group of humans and human-like beings gathered together in a ritualistic feasting of helpless digimon. There was a pool of blood in the middle of the ritualistic event. Saitou's eyes were glimmering with the same thick red of the blood itself. He was in a immediate state of shock.
"There, the good digimon that had been summoned by humans were being made sport of, and then finally slaughtered. The humans did it for their own twisted pleasures."
One by one, each digimon were hacked down. Others were crucified and dismembered as if they were cattle. Their pleas and screams echoed throughout Saitou's head.
"As he saw this carnival of lust held by humans, who were thirsting for blood and steeped in hedonism, Saitou found them to be even more cruel and barbaric than the virus-type evil digimon he grew to detest for so long. His mind wasn't big enough to hold the change."
As Saitou dazed off into a state of shock, Burizalor was seen looking on with a grin. He walks off through a door with his colleagues by his side. The teen held his head and completely lost his composure. Saitou lets out a loud cry.
"Saitou saw something that completely went contrary to the sense of values he held there. You guys would have been angry, but Saitou had a different reaction."
Saitou charges forward in a maddening rage. He unleashes his attack onto the barbaric humans and quickly dispatched them one by one. Blood splattered across the room, including onto Saitou himself. He went to avenge the deaths of every good digimon that had their lives taken away by these human monsters.
"At that moment, Saitou went into a maddening rage. He took all of the humans that were there… and murdered them."
As soon as Tetsuo arrived, he found a large pool of blood where the remains of the humans once laid. Saitou reduced every human flesh into a pool of crimson mass. His clothes were covered by the crimson mass and the stench was simply grotesque. Saitou looks over at Tetsuo with his eyes swelling with tears of shame.
"Tetsuo. There weren't any humans here. Not a single one."
"It was after that, you see, that Saitou became interested in The Human Armageddon, the CD with the worst crimes of mankind recorded on it. After that, both were gone. Tetsuo died by a unknown brain disease but Saitou went into hiding for the next twenty years.
End of Flashback
X lets out a deep sigh and rubbed his head. The story was simply too stunning and revealing for the group. Even Tai couldn't believe how one event could have changed a person's views completely.
"He apparently started having doubts about mankind as a whole," X said. "Perhaps Saitou had an overly strong sense of duty. He had a strong sense of justice and was too hard of a worker. He sensed evil in the very existence of humanity. Now, he wants the life of every human as atonement for their sins."
"And that's why he wants to open the tunnel to the Dark Realm," replied Sora. "He wants to unleash the ultimate Armageddon."
"See?! That's why those ultra-serious types are so hard to deal with!" Tai muttered. "They always change their minds from one direction to another."
"Yes, that's precisely why I chose you to be my new apprentice," X explained. "I wanted someone who didn't think too much."
"Ah, that makes sense!" Shintomon exclaimed.
Tai turns around and gives another menacing glare towards the higher digimon.
"Hey! Don't be quick to defend me pal! You've struck out twice today!"
"Heh, sorry… My apologies, Taichi."
"Well, I don't exactly know what Saitou has been doing for all these years," X stated. "There's no telling what he could have schemed. The only thing I can say is that once Saitou starts acting, there's no stopping him. Not until he achieves his objective."
"So, what brings Millenniumon to the picture?" Max wondered.
"I have no information on that matter. My guess was that Millenniumon found Saitou and wanted to help his cause. I know very little about Millenniumon, except that he is the dark god from the Dark Realm. He along with the Synisters have been trapped because of the barrier to keep them at bay. However, Millenniumon's shadow managed to possess Cyberdramon in another alternate universe. Now his shadow has take refuge in the digicores, manifested them with darkness and thus created the seven monsters. With Millenniumon on his side, Saitou will be very difficult to defeat. This will prove to be your ultimate test, Digi-Destined. If any of you want to back out, now would be the perfect time. However, we will require almost everyone to participate. By working together, we can hope to being those two down."
Suddenly, Tai, Agumon, BW, X and Shintomon were all quick to pick up on an intense ki signal coming from outside the apartment. Tai gets up from his seat along with Shintomon to realize that they were being watched upon. Yes, indeed they were. Saitou was standing on top of another balcony on the other side of another apartment building. Accompanying him was Hideto the Sniper.
"Tai! What is it?!" Sora asked.
"It's him, mom!" Max replied. "It's Saitou!"
"Is this true?!"
"Yeah! He's found us!" Tai exclaimed. "No surprise. Finally, you've shown yourself again, you bastard."
Saitou looks down from the high altitude and makes complete eye contact with Tai. The heat was set to intensify between X's two apprentices.
Paris, France. Southern Section
Arriving at the scene of the crime, Kari and Gatomon looked around the exact spot where TK was last seen. She was sure that this was where she last departed from the team. The fog was getting thicker and did neither duo any favors.
"Takeru! Patamon!"
"Patamon! Can you hear me?!"
"Strange. They would have reacted to us by now. Not to mention that Patamon would have picked up on your energy signal, Gato…"
"I'm willing to bet that the monster has gotten to them. It was through some kind of ambush to catch them off guard."
"But they ought to have time to fuse and fought it off."
"No, Kari. It ambushed them. We're going to get to the bottom of this, but first let's go meet up with the others."
"Right. Be sure to send a distress signal at once."
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a sly, female voice said.
The female pair reacted and turned around to look around their surroundings. Gatomon was the first to pick on a dark presence and turned to find a centaur-like creature emerge from out of the fog. Kari turns around and gasps in horror at the sight of Lamiamon. However, it wasn't just the monster she was startled by but the hostage she held in her grasp. Little Patamon was struggling under the monster's grasp.
"You! So I take it you're the monster we're looking for!" Kari snapped.
"Let go of Patamon, you wench!"
"Where's TK?! I demand to know where he is!"
"Oh, you sweet little girls. You'll get what you want soon enough. Child of light, I demand a one on one duel with you."
"So I take it you know about my reputation…?"
"I was created from out of the digicores. So, yes I do have knowledge on your background. It was nearly twelve years ago that you alone defeated Datamon's ultimate artificial, Virus."
"How can I forget…? Why bring that up? You know how much I hate to remember that bastard…"
"Ah, yes. I struck a nerve did I? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't D-Reaper humiliate you?"
Kari was not taking any of this verbal abuse and clenched her fists angrily. She certainly did not want to be reminded of Virus and being humiliated by the D-Reaper. Lamiamon toys around with Patamon while licking his stomach.
"What do you say, Child of Light? Will you battle me or will I have to devour little Patamon?"
"Kari… Don't let her toy around with you," Gatomon whispered to her partner.
"Sorry, Gatomon, but she's already getting on my nerves. How dare she bring up painful memories? Monster, I accept your challenge, but I want something in return."
"I do have a name. It's Lamiamon," the monster sighed. "What is it?"
"I demand to see my husband right now! If you had laid one hand on him, I'll…"
"Destroy me? Well, I have to be the bearer of bad news, but… Oh, what the hell! Let's see what's behind door number one!"
As she said that, Lamiamon snaps her fingers and blows the fog away to reveal a motionless form on the ground. Kari gazed through the dissipating fog and her eyes widened in shock. Right before her very eyes was the lifeless body of TK. He, like the many citizens of France, was stripped away of his human soul. The young woman fell to her knees with tears in her eyes.
"TAKERU! NO!"
"Ah, I didn't realize this handsome hunk was your husband. I don't understand. He has no taste in ladies. Why he chose a flat-chested broad like yourself over a beauty like me… I'll never understand. I mean I've got a much prettier figure than you ever will have, sweetie."
"You had no right to take away his soul! Why did you even bother?! Answer me!"
"Why? Because I want to keep him for myself and refuse to give him up to anyone else. Understand? Takeru forever belongs to me and I will not relinquish him without a fight. So, you have accepted my challenge and we shall duel to determine Takeru's true love."
"Fine…"
Kari immediately stopped sobbing and stand son her two feet. She wipes the tears from her eyes. The eyes of determination now were plastered on her face.
"Ooo, that's a really scary look for you, Child of Light. So, shall we get started?"
"I'll never forgive you for taking my husband's soul! I will fight to save him! Gatomon! Let's teach this wench a lesson!"
"You got it, Hikari!"
"At last, I finally get a chance to show off my full potential against the Child of Light. We'll see if she was worth the hype."
Kari takes out her D-3 and motions over to Gatomon. A bright pink column of light engulfed the duo as their fusion process was well underway.
Play Digimon Zero Two theme BREAK UP
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
The female monster watches on while Kari and Gatomon infused with each other to form their ultimate fused form. A woman emerged in her place and she was simply the most gorgeous sight anyone has ever laid eyes upon. Celesta X stood before Lamiamon with an Amazonian outfit and long-blonde hair flowing behind her.
"Curse this wench! Her beauty surpasses mine?! Unforgivable!" Lamiamon hissed in thought.
"I take it you're quite jealous of my appearance. Don't be. This will be the last sight you will ever lay your eyes upon because you will be dead soon. On second thought, allow me to ascend further. I call upon my… MYSTIC FORM!"
With that said, Mystic Celesta stood in place with fully body armor and better protection. A sword was attached to the female warrior's back. Mystic Celesta takes out the sword and wields it.
(End theme)
"How do you like me now?" Mystic Celesta asked with a grin.
"Damn you! Your beauty! How is it that your beauty surpasses mine?!"
"I have no idea. Maybe you ought to look yourself in the mirror and compare us. Though, did you say that I was just a flat-chested broad?"
"Shut up! I know what I said! Let's just get to the point! We shall battle to determine who claims Takeru's soul. The winner will take possession of it."
"And I will take back his soul. Besides, I've already been reading on your ki level. Our powers greatly contrast with each other. I could easily vaporize you in one blow."
"Maybe so, but you're forgetting one important detail. I have Patamon in my grasp. Now, would you really destroy me and Patamon at the same exact time?"
Mystic Celesta stood frozen in place. She had completely forgotten that Lamiamon still held Patamon hostage. The beast twirled Patamon around like a toy and chuckles at her adversary.
"Awww, you don't want to kill poor little Patamon, do we? Takeru would be very upset if you did. Then, he'd abandon you and become my love slave. He'd rather have a strong lady like myself rather than a weak-hearted fool like yourself, Hikari. Face it. I'm more woman than you ever will be."
"No… You're lying… You're just playing with my mind… TK and I are married! We've known each other since we were children! We grew up as Digi-Destined and we will forever be Digi-Destined. I've grown to love him and now we have our own children. Tike. Kara. We love them so dearly…"
"Don't you worry about those two tykes, Hikari. I'll be sure to raise them to be efficient warriors to honor my good name."
"Be silent, demon! Just for kidnapping Patamon and stealing my husband's soul, I won't hesitate to slay you myself! I am the Child of Light!"
With that said, Mystic Celesta powers up with a bright aura covering her form. She held the sword tightly and points it out directly at Lamiamon. The beast started to slowly retreat back with Patamon in her grasp.
"I'm going to have to fight with only half of power, or else Patamon will be caught in the line of fire. Takeru, if only you were here. Your spirit has been absorbed by that monster along with many others. You don't deserve this kind of fate. Lamiamon, you've pushed this too far."
Mystic Celesta encircles Lamiamon cautiously while trying to get Patamon off of her mind.
"The wench isn't planning to attack me. How unfortunate… She doesn't want to risk harming this little rat. If I were her, I would attack me right away. My grasp on her husband's soul is getting stronger and it will be difficult to save him. Hikari, you've disappointed me. Show me your full power! Display the same power you used to destroy Virus! I need to see it!"
Suddenly, the pair felt a large number of powers arriving from every direction. Mega Gargomon arrived alongside Antiramon and Suzie. Mystic Celesta turned to see Kara, Tike, and Dorothy arrive at the same time.
"Kari!" Dorothy calls out to the woman.
"Mom! She's engaged in a battle!" Kara exclaimed.
"Kick her ass, mom! Then, we can take that digicore from her!" Tike encouraged the female warrior.
"Mind if we give you an assist?"
"That won't be necessary, Mega Gargomon. This wench has stolen TK's soul!" Mystic Celesta replied.
"No! Not dad! Don't say it's true!" the children cried out in unison.
"She's right. I see his body," Dorothy stated. "I'm not picking up on any life energy through him."
"Not to mention that I can't attack with my full potential as long as that witch is holding Patamon captive."
Dangling the winged rookie like a slab of meat, Lamiamon twirled Patamon around and widened her mouth. Mystic Celesta couldn't stand the monster's taunts any longer. She grasped her sword tightly and instantly phased out from sight. This caught Lamiamon by complete surprise and the monster searched around her surroundings to detect Mystic Celesta's whereabouts.
"Damn! Where did she go?!"
"Over here!"
Before Lamiamon could even react, she felt a tremendous force delivering a devastating blow into her gut. Mystic Celesta reappears with an elbow directly jammed into Lamiamon's gut. The beast had the air knocked right out of her. However, she did not release Patamon.
"Witch! You shall not force me to relinquish this little rodent!"
"Sorry, Patamon. I have to think of how I can get Patamon out of her grasp before I can deal heavy damage to her."
"You bitch! How dare you put your filthy hands on my body! I'll make you pay!"
With that said, a whip materialized in Lamiamon's other hand. She sends out the whip and wraps it around Mystic Celesta's neck.
"Thunder Whip!"
The whip created a massive surge of electricity and channeled it into Mystic Celesta's body. However, Mystic Celesta instantly puts up a barrier to protect herself from the electrical surges.
"Let's take this to the skies!"
Mystic Celesta takes off into the skies above the French city and this allowed Lamiamon to follow her out. Both of them blitzed through the heavens before meeting with one another above the dark clouds. Lamiamon extracted her claws and brings them forward to attack her adversary. Mystic Celesta puts up her sword to shield herself but Lamiamon phases out behind the angelic warrior.
"Darkness Lighting Claws!"
The dark demoness slashes across Mystic Celesta's back as her dark aura penetrated through the holy barrier. Mystic Celesta screamed out while clutching her back.
"I can't allow myself to hold back. But, Patamon… If I unleash my full power, I'll not only kill Lamiamon but Patamon also. I can't risk it. Takeru will never forgive me. Lamiamon, you'll never hope to defeat me by resorting to these cowardly acts."
"Aww, what's the matter, Hikari? Have I struck a nerve again? You really must hate me. Enough to the point to want to slaughter me? Why don't you go ahead and do so? What's holding you back?! Oh, I forgot. Patamon. If you kill him, then Takeru will never consider you his beloved. You'll be all alone by the time this is over. Everyone will despise you for taking poor Patamon's life away."
The angelic warrior maintained her position while not giving into Lamiamon's taunting demands. Could she even risk going all out just for the sake of Patamon's rescue attempt? There was only one strategy Mystic Celesta can think of for the moment.
"I'll just have to play this one out. I'm going to hate doing this…"
The angelic warrior lets out a sigh and puts her sword away. Lamiamon was surprised by the turn of events. Has Mystic Celesta finally surrendered and given into Lamiamon?
"All right, I forfeit. I can't defeat your all mighty beauty, Lamiamon. Takeru is not worth it."
"Wha… What? Excuse me? Did I just hear you right? You're giving in? No! You can't be the same warrior that destroyed Virus! You couldn't be. If so, then I've finally succeeded in breaking your spirit. Is this rodent that important to you?!"
"To the Gatomon side of me, yes he is. Gatomon could never forgive me if I destroyed him in the process."
"My, isn't this convenient?! The Child of Light is giving up! Now, let's have some fun with your friends!"
With a snap of her fingers, Lamiamon proceeded to summon forth several minions from out of the ground. Dorothy, Mega Gargomon, Antiramon and the children found themselves in the receiving end of a massive tremor. Mystic Celesta looks on to find a massive surge of kis popping out of the ground. Several miniature creatures came out of hiding and were revealed to be Virus Jrs. These little imps brought back painful memories for Mystic Celesta.
"Virus Jrs?! But, how?!"
"I take it you know these guys very well. You really didn't have a great childhood. Cheer up. They are here only to keep your friends preoccupied. You just concentrate on me."
"Damn you. Stooping as low as using minions to carry out your wishes. I just remembered X telling us about leftovers from the hell fighter invasion."
"How perceptive of you, Hikari. Now, will you fight me?! If you don't then, my little friends will dispose of your comrades. What's it going to be?"
Lamiamon lets out another deep sigh and snaps her fingers. The Virus Jrs immediately sprung forward to attack the team. Dorothy quickly flew out to take Suzie out of harm's way. Tike and Kara were left to avoid the wrath of the miniature imps. Mega Gargomon was caught in a crossfire with three Virus Jrs. Antiramon attempted to put up her guard but she was being overtaken by the imps. Dorothy creates a ki barrier and places Suzie within it.
"Little monsters! You want a fight?! You've got one!"
With that said, Dorothy takes off towards the Virus Jrs. She unleashes an array of ki blasts to take out several of the imps rather easily. This did not go well for Lamiamon.
"Big mistake, Lamiamon. You shouldn't have relied on such outdated minions. Even Dorothy can take them apart. She won't even need my help. Lamiamon! You're guard is off!"
As Lamiamon had time to react, she turned and was struck across the face by Mystic Celesta's right hand. The angelic warrior takes her sword and slashes the beast across her chest. Lamiamon screamed out while grasping her massive wound. She released Patamon at the same time. Mystic Celesta quickly intervenes and snatches Patamon.
"Wench! That was cheap! How dare you take advantage of me like that?!"
Mystic Celesta quickly dives down towards TK's fallen form and puts Patamon near his corpse.
"Thank you, Hikari. Thanks, Gatomon."
"You just leave this bitch to me. Everyone! Now's your chance! Take care of the Virus Jrs! We're close to victory!"
(Play Gundam Seed opening theme INVOKE)
Mystic Celesta looks up towards Lamiamon, who was now in a more vulnerable position. The angelic warrior takes out her sword and phases out the monster's sight.
"No! Where did she go?!"
Suddenly, Lamiamon felt a rush of wind flowing past her. Within a split nanosecond, she realized a cut was forming across her right cheek. It wasn't long until she felt Mystic Celesta jamming her sword through her torso. Lamiamon spat out a large quantity of crimson mass. She turns and attempts another attack with her whip. However, Mystic Celesta easily saw the offensive coming and slices the whip in half. Lamiamon now found herself at the mercy of Mystic Celesta. Mystic Celesta reappears in front of Lamiamon. The female warrior unleashes an array of fists all across the demoness.
"This one's for Patamon! For TK! For my kids! And this one's for me!"
She delivers a painful elbow shot directly into Lamiamon's chest cavity. The force of the blow sent Lamiamon sailing across the heavens. Mystic Celesta follows her out as she prepared to unleash her finishing technique.
Back at the battleground, Dorothy had made short work of the remaining Virus Jrs. Tike and Kara helped tend to Suzie and the others. Suddenly, two more Virus Jrs emerged from where Dorothy stood.
"Kikiki!" the Virus Jrs screeched.
The villainous pair launched themselves towards Dorothy to attempt a double team attack effort. The former D-Reaper quickly maneuvered away to her left side. Dorothy turns around and stands on her two hands. She quickly spun herself around to knock the Virus Jr pair away. Dorothy phases out and reappears behind the retreating devils. She puts out both of her hands and instantly vaporizes them with a double ki blast.
"That should be the last of them," Dorothy said. "Kari! It's all on you!"
Mystic Celesta prepares to unleash her attack but not long for Lamiamon to charge forward.
"I'm not about to give in so easily! Darkness Huntress!"
The demoness launches herself forward and transforms into a flaming beast of darkness. Just as she was ready to engulf the angel warrior, Mystic Celesta pushes forward to unleash her full powered blast.
"HOLY BEAM!"
The two powers collided with each other into a short stalemate until Mystic Celesta's light overcame the demoness' darkness. Lamiamon screamed out in horror as her body quickly became vaporized within the heat of the blast.
"NOOO! MY BRETHREN SHALL AVENGE ME!"
Once Lamiamon's body broke down into data, the half digicore piece fell into Mystic Celesta's grasp.
"Yes! We've got a digicore! Now, these people should return to normal!"
(End theme)
With Lamiamon destroyed, her territory faded along with its devastating effects. The fog clouds all across the city dissipated. The people were being restored once their souls were returned. Paris was returning to the way it was before Lamiamon arrived.
As Paris was restored, this meant that Kari and her team would depart from the city. TK woke up to find himself out of the city and on a grassy field. He sits up to find Tike, Kara and the whole gang standing over him.
"What just happened? Last thing I remembered was some mysterious girl and the… the monster! Where's the monster?!"
"Don't worry about that, TK. Kari already took care of her," Patamon assured the young man.
"Yep! You should have seen mom kick that witch's ass!" exclaimed Tike.
"You were awesome, mom," stated Kara.
TK sits up and realizes Kari was kneeling next him. She gives her husband a friendly smirk and inches closer to him. She holds out her hand and shows him the half piece to a digicore.
"Kari, is that what I think it is?"
"Half of a digicore? That's right. It was a really challenging battle of wits, but I managed to overcome the monster. TK, let us make sure nothing separates us. Ok?"
"That's a deal."
Kari presses herself against TK and plants a kiss on his lips. Tike and Kara gagged at the sight of their parents kissing.
"Yuck! How can grown-ups do that?!" the children exclaimed in unison. "That's so sick!"
"Oh. You'll definitely be changing your minds once you kiddos grow older," Dorothy giggled. "Ah, I'll need to find my true love. What do you think, Henry?"
"Um, don't ask me."
"Ah-ha! How about you pair up with Dorothy, Henry?!" Terriermon teased his partner.
"Terriermon…!"
Dorothy rolls her eyes and laughs at the dog-rabbit's crazed antics. Has she developed an interest in Henry? Only time will tell. However, three monsters have been slain. The Digi-Destined are close to gathering up the remaining digicore pieces. There were now four remaining monsters still across Earth. They will prove to be more formidable than the first three.
However, another danger was taking root in Japan. Yes, Saitou has found the whereabouts of Tai's group and was ready to launch an attack on them.
Odaiba District. Kamiya Residence
Saitou and Hideto the Sniper were looking on from another side of the apartment complex. It seemed as though Tai was their main target, however, they turned their attention over towards the room where Rei was in. Max immediately took realization to this and heads back to his parents' bedroom.
"Oh no! They're after Rei you guys!" Max exclaimed.
"What are you sure?!" asked Tai.
"Positive!"
As soon as Max opened the door, he found Rei sitting on the bed. Mimi, Palmon, Keke and Dimitri were in the room as well.
"Oh, what is it, Max? Hey, Rei's been telling us that she has a brother in the group," Keke replied. "Hey, Max? What's wrong?"
"Every get down!"
The Sniper opened his left hand and revealed tiny ki balls. He used his right hand to flick each ki ball directly towards the apartment room. Max saw these coming and pushes Rei to the side. The balls blasted through the window and created holes within the walls. Rei gasped in horror at what had just transpired.
"What is this?! Are we being attacked?!" Mimi screamed.
"Yeah! It's him! He's found us!" Max said.
Just then, Rei felt a sharp object stabbing at her right hip. She takes it out of her pocket and examined it closely. It was a tracking device.
"Oh no! I was bugged!" Rei cries out.
"You mean he put a tracker on you? That punk knew where to find you," Dimitri growled.
"Hey! How could you do that to your own team mate?!" Mimi snapped.
Another ki ball came shooting through the window and barely nicked her in the face. Palmon pulls her away just in time before she became a victim of the Sniper's attacks.
Saitou gazed directly at the room where Tai's friends were protecting Rei.
"Rei Saiba, I've just spoken with your friend. You let us down, but your frailty was part of my equation," Saitou said. "I knew you would go to their side. I've been checking in on everything you've been saying and doing until now. Now you can die with the humans you couldn't detach yourself from."
"That bastard! He's talking about Rei! How can he just do that to her? She did no wrong," Tai growled.
"He used her like a diseased dog and no longer has any use for her," Shintomon replied.
"This is our chance to confront him now before he decides to blow this place into rubble," BW suggested.
"But who would have thought, Hideto?" Saitou spoke once again. "Who would have thought the person with the ability to we've been looking for was among our enemies. It's ironic, but it feels like it was destined. Destined that Taichi and myself right each other, that is…"
"He's saying that the person with the ability they're looking for is…"
"Is what, Shintomon?"
Max growls angrily at the villains' actions and sits up from the floor. He made eye contact with Saitou and his accomplice.
"Maggots. He kills his own teammates if they get in his way! I'm coming for you, you monster!"
With that said, Max fled out the room. Keke calls out to her friend.
"No, Max! Get back here!"
"Hey, wait!" Rei exclaimed. "That's what they want you to do!"
Max headed out through the front door and plowed through it. However, Tai and Agumon were the first to see him fly out. The father and his partner headed off to chase the boy off.
"Get back here, Max! You still need rest!"
"Yeah, besides you're low on ki and can't afford to fight right now!" Agumon calls out to Max.
"Hold on you guys, but I haven't told you yet! Thanks to Rei, I've been powered-up and returned to normal!"
"Powered-up?!"
"I don't understand it that well myself, dad. Some kind of ki-based sword materialized in my hand, so it has to mean that I've greatly powered-up."
"Wow, really?!"
"Yeah and I defeated Rei's power in one swing."
Meanwhile, Saitou was listening through to their conversation by probing their minds. He heard Max mention the ki-sword.
"It's called the Jigen-to, or better known as the Dimensional Blade, Hideto. With his ability, we can break down the peripheral field. The subspace peripheral field, set up between the Real World and the Dark Realm. First, seize Max Kamiya. You may dispose of the others, I don't care."
"Yes, Mr. Saitou."
"Let's go."
With that said, Saitou and Hideto fled out of the scene. They leapt off the roof to land onto the streets below without taking any damage on their fall. They both landed on their feet like cats. Max flies out into the open with Agumon and Tai behind him. They were facing off with the sinister duo.
"Whoa, that was fast," Agumon said. "I couldn't even pick on their energy signals."
"Saitou…" Tai growled deeply to himself.
Saitou puts out his hand to make a 'peace sign' with two fingers. The trio was taken back by his hand gesturing.
"What's this?" Tai wondered.
"Jerk! You just had to flash the V-sign already," Max snapped. "Don't you go messing with us!"
"No, you simple-minded twits. It means only two more days until the hole is completely open."
"What the hell?! That can't be!"
"That's a surprised look on your face, Taichi. Did you think it would be later?"
"You mean it's not going to take another week to open up?"
"That's how much the speed of opening the tunnel has increased."
Suddenly, Tai, Max and Agumon were immediately accompanied by most of their friends. BW, Shintomon, Dimitri and X arrived just in time. X looks across and quickly recognized his former apprentice.
"Hey, Saitou!"
"It's been a long time, X."
"Is that any way to greet me? Your former teacher?"
Back inside the apartment bedroom, Mimi and Keke struggled to pull up Rei back on her feet. The girl was struggling to sit up while thoughts were running through her mind.
"Are you all right, Rei?" Keke asked the girl.
Rei looks back to the same conversation she had with Saitou about finding the individual with the power to cut through the barrier field.
"We need someone with the ability to cut through dimensions."
"But, I'm not ready for this, Mr. Saitou!"
"No one has ever helped you, Rei Saiba. They all took part in humanity's darkest indulgence: torture. You've seen it. That is the true nature of mankind."
"He can't mean…"
"You guys! It's a showdown!" Palmon stated. "They're about to rumble out there."
"But why would they fight out in the middle of the street here? They're going to make a mess of things again," Mimi wondered.
Back outside on the streets, Sora and Biyomon arrived to find the crew facing off with Saitou. As she inched closer to Tai, he puts a hand out in front of his wife.
"Get back, Sora. I'm not sure how ugly this is going to get."
"Right…"
With Sora and Biyomon backing away, Max steps up and declared to fight with Saitou first.
"All right, dad! I'm going first! Leave this dirt bag with me!"
"Don't be stupid, Max. You stay back."
"But…"
"I can't risk you going out there and getting yourself killed. This fight is mine."
"He's right, Max. You're still recovering," Shintomon ordered the boy. "You should stay out of this."
Tai and Agumon walked up onto the middle of the street. Suddenly, X calls out to them immediately before they had a chance to attack.
"Tai! Don't get any closer to him!"
Tai makes eye contact with X as if he were preparing to question the masked man.
"I started him up just like you. He can store up his ki and shoot it out, just like you. He even has the Life Bomb as his ultimate weapon."
"So, our opponent is basically an exact copy of my dad?" Max asked. "Only except this guy trained hard before dad saw his first digimon."
"How strong is his power?" Dimitri wondered.
"No telling," X replied. "I don't know how much he has changed it over these past eighteen to twenty years."
"It's a dangerous game, then isn't it?" Shintomon said.
"You got this, dad? He's more dangerous than he appears, but I know you can beat this guy!" Max encouraged his father.
"Sounds like fun. Ready, Agumon?"
"Ready whenever you are."
"Tai! Please, be careful."
"We'll handle this, X."
After turning away from the group, Tai and Agumon slowly walked across the street towards Saitou and Hideto. The two apprentices made eye contact with each other while reading off each other's ki.
"How's it going, long-timer?" Tai spoke. "From what I heard, you've gone around the bend, haven't you?"
"That is a misunderstanding. I have been reawakened to the truth."
"I'll stop you!"
"Try me."
As soon as they finished their short introduction, Tai and Agumon quickly became engulfed in a bright aura. They were then fused together to form Omega X. The fused warrior quickly puts up another bright aura and gathered his ki. Accordingly, Saitou did the complete opposite. He didn't transform, but he did create his own ki aura. Both were flaring up with tremendous ki.
"Wow! Did you see that?! Saitou didn't even transform! Now that's talent!" Shintomon exclaimed.
"So, this is what he's been doing this past decade?" X wondered. "If he doesn't need to transform, then I fear how much power he's managed to manifest."
"Who cares?! My dad is going to mop the floor with this guy!"
Omega X faces off with Saitou. They were just a few short moments from colliding with each other to attack.
"I can't just tell by listening to X's stories," Omega X thought. "I'm going to see for my own eyes just how much power he has."
Mimi and Palmon were keeping an eye out on the showdown. They were amazed at the auras flaring around their bodies. Palmon couldn't believe the amount of ki emerging from the two.
"It's getting started," Mimi said.
"On, no… Safety! Bring him to safety!" Rei Saiba screamed.
"Him? Do you mean, Max or Tai?!" Palmon asked.
"Who are you talking about, Rei?" Keke demanded. "Tell us."
Omega X shoots off his ki aura and immediately flew out at Saitou to begin the showdown.
"Here we go! Heads up, Saitou!"
Just as Saitou prepared to put up his guard, Omega X quickly blitzed to his right side. The veteran was taken back by his successor's speed. Omega X was set to throw out a single punch to his right side.
"That's it! I caught him off guard. I'll punch him and blast him away with a Terra Beam!"
Once Omega X threw out a punch to land his mark, Saitou throws out his left hand and immediately blocks it out to the side. The veteran took advantage of the situation and delivers a spinning kick to Omega X's side head. Omega X is sent skidding back across the street. The impact caused a cut to open up on his forehead. The warrior wipes the blood away.
"Heh, try that again!"
The fused warrior uses his teleportation and reappears in front of Saitou. He attempts a punch coated with ki energy. Once again, Saitou saw this coming and sidesteps Omega X. Saitou sees an opening and executes another kick. This time it was across Omega X's face. The force was enough to send the warrior sailing across through a building wall. Max and the others ran off in order to give aid to Omega X.
"Get yourself up, dad! You can flatten this guy!"
Omega X plows out from under the heavy pile of rubble. He wipes his bloody forehead and looked back to the strategy he used.
"What the hell?! I put my full power into that second punch! I would have killed him for sure! It's almost as if I'm fighting a willow tree. Like my attack was turned aside!"
"This is bad. He's the kind of opponent Taichi is weakest against," Shintomon informed the group. "He doesn't avoid Taichi's punches, but he doesn't take them square-on, either. Without giving up his own balance, he changes the arc that are of Taichi's punch and then counterattacks."
"That's right, Shintomon. That is the Resshu-Ken style," X stated.
"Resshu-ken style?" Omega X thought in question.
"Yes, Resshu-ken is a style of martial art based mainly on footwork," Saitou explained. "The upper body defends in order to shift the course of an attack, while a destructive kick devastates the opponent."
"Resshu-ken, which one is not allowed to be taught until they have mastered all other forms, is said to be the most powerful style ever when compared to other barehanded fighting techniques."
Back in the apartment, Rei Saiba was thrashing about to break free from Keke's grasp. She headed out through the door.
"Max Kamiya must not be left alone!" Rei screamed out.
"He's not alone. Everyone is down there with him, including his father," Keke reassured the frantic girl.
"Max is the one Mr. Saitou has been searching for, the one with the ability to cut through dimensions…!"
"No, you have the wrong guy," Keke stated promptly. "Max is not the type to want to join those monsters."
"Mr. Saitou's goal is to capture Max Kamiya. There's no doubt about it."
"Then, we have to warn them!" Mimi exclaimed.
Mimi steps out onto the balcony and noticed the crew had already moved out onto a different location.
"Hey, guys! Rei knows who the one with the dimension cutter is!" Mimi screamed out.
Suddenly, little did she realize, Hideto the Sniper reappeared on the neighboring apartment building on the other side. He holds out his hand and shoots off more ki balls directly at the woman. Palmon pushes her away from being shot. Keke puts up a ki barrier around herself and Rei to block out the blasts.
"That was close! They are after you, Rei!" Keke growled.
"Hideto trying to prevent us from warning them! We'll never get the chance to warn them!"
Hideto made certain Rei and the others would not get the chance to warn them. He looks back to the battlefield.
Saitou held out his hand and almost immediately a large ki ball formed.
"As you can see, I use the Resshu-ken style, but what's more… By mixing my own ki powers in with the Resshu-ken style techniques, I've created my own personal martial art. I call it the Kiresshou-ken"
"Amazing! Ki energy mixed with style!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"Saitou, is this how far you've gotten during these many years?" X thought.
While tossing up the ki ball, Saitou takes to the air and prepares to send the ki ball away from the battlefield. What could he exactly be thinking?
"What the hell is he planning to do?!" Omega X cried out.
"It's time to judge your allies, Taichi! Resshu kokyu-ha!"
"Oh no! He's aiming for my apartment home! Keke, Rei and the others are still in there!"
As soon as he called out his technique, Saitou delivers a swift kick to send the ki ball sailing across the city block. It was aimed directly for the Kamiya apartment residence. Max, Sora and Omega X gasped in disbelief. However, Omega X and Max took off to divert the ki ball away from the apartment complex.
"Let's see if you can save them now, Taichi."
The third monster has been defeated and another digicore half has been captured. Only four monsters remain worldwide. Saitou has exposed himself to Tai and his friends. With his background already covered, it will be interesting to see how far Saitou will go to defeat our heroes. The former apprentice has launched a Resshu kokyu-ha and plans to destroy Tai's friends in his apartment home. Can he make it in time to stop the attack?

Hey, it's been a while, guys! I'm now free to work on this fic and I have some unfortunate news. Chapter 29 of my Pharaohmon fic is temporarily on delay for the time being. But, I'll make up for it by catching up on this series. So, don't think I've abandoned you guys. I'm not like that. Anyway, that's enough out of me! Let's get right into the action!
It's Tai vs Saitou, round one! Not to mention the showdown with the fourth monster, Necromon!
Enjoy the fic!
…Ok, what are you waiting for?! Get on with it!
((smile))
The seven Millenniumon monsters were born as a result of the dark god's shadow overflowing Azulongmon's digicores. The Digi-Destined Generational team split up into five groups. Four of which would travel the globe in search of the seven monsters to reclaim the digicores. The fifth group would stay in Japan and deal with the threat abroad. The four team groups have defeated the many threats that have crossed their way. Takuya and his group united to defeat Haze Frogmon along with a human decoy bent on destroying China and India. In Los Angeles, Takato and the Tamers made progress by eliminating Rage Archaeopteryxmon, better known as "Archy". Just now, Hikari rescued Takeru by ascending into Mystic Celesta and defeats Lamiamon. One digicore and a half piece are already in the teams' grasps. Now, we move onto the city of Shinjuku, where Necromon lurks within the shadows. Davis and his team are on their way to confront the monster to not only reclaiming the digicore piece but to rescue their deceased comrade, Ken Ichijouji. Hurry, guys! Reclaim Ken's body before it's too late!
Back in Odaiba, X reveals the startling revelation behind Saitou's dark past. What a shocker for Taichi and his team. The one time apprentice of X, Himo Saitou, witnessed the ugly side of the human heart. He came to despise the very existence of the human race. As a result, he is seeking to open a doorway to the Dark Realm, a world deeper within the Dark Ocean, and have all mankind atone for their sins. Learning that Max is the one with the weapon to cut through the Synister barrier, Saitou and Hideto make their move. Now, Tai and the others moved in to take action. Saitou attacked Taichi's home.
"How's it going, long-timer? From what I heard, you've gone around the bend, haven't you?"
"That is a misunderstanding. I have been reawakened to the truth."
"I'll stop you!"
"Try me."
The two apprentices clashed for the first time and it ended with Saitou ending out a Resshu kokyu-ha towards Taichi's apartment home. Can Tai and Max make there to rescue Keke and the others quickly?
(Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays)
Taichi vs. Saitou, Round One! Necromon's Torturous Necromancy!
Odaiba District.
Saitou held out his hand and almost immediately a large ki ball formed.
"As you can see, I use the Resshu-ken style, but what's more… By mixing my own ki powers in with the Resshu-ken style techniques, I've created my own personal martial art. I call it the Kiresshou-ken"
"Amazing! Ki energy mixed with style!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"Saitou, is this how far you've gotten during these many years?" X thought.
While tossing up the ki ball, Saitou takes to the air and prepares to send the ki ball away from the battlefield. What could he exactly be thinking?
"What the hell is he planning to do?!" Omega X cried out.
"It's time to judge your allies, Taichi! Resshu kokyu-ha!"
"Oh no! He's aiming for my apartment home! Keke, Rei and the others are still in there!"
As soon as he called out his technique, Saitou delivers a swift kick to send the ki ball sailing across the city block. It was aimed directly for the Kamiya apartment residence. Max, Sora and Omega X gasped in disbelief. However, Omega X and Max took off to divert the ki ball away from the apartment complex.
"Let's see if you can save them now, Taichi."
Back inside Tai's apartment home, Izzy came rushing inside with Tentomon. They had just arrived back to hear shots being fired through the walls. He rushes into the room to find Mimi, Palmon and Rei being protected under a ki barrier created by Keke.
"Hey, what's going on?!" the computer literate asked frantically.
"Get back, Izzy! You'll be a target, too!" Keke screamed. "Ok, guys. On my signal, get out! One! Two-"
Suddenly, Keke felt a strong ki heading towards their direction. She recklessly pushes the trio out of the barrier.
"OUT! NOW!"
"Ok. Let's go everyone! Izzy! Follow us out!" Palmon said.
"No! Keke!" Mimi screamed.
"Don't worry, momma. I'll be fine," Keke assured her mother. "I'll be out of here in no time!"
"She's right. She'll take care of herself. Let's go, Mimi!" Izzy said as he took her hand.
With everyone leaving the room, Keke concentrated on her ki barrier. The ki ball was quickly being sent towards the apartment building.
"I just hope my barrier can hold it off. If it can't… No, I can't think like that."
Omega X flies out across the city with Max trailing along. The warrior puts two fingers over his forehead and immediately uses his Time Warp teleportation technique. He finds himself ahead and cupped his hands together to fire off a Terra Beam.
"Do it, dad!"
"TERRA-"
However, Saitou saw through to Omega X's strategy and twirls his leg around. As if he were controlling the ki ball like a puppet, the ki ball turned another corner and slides past Omega X.
"Damn it! No!"
"Dad! It's going towards our home!"
"No! Keke and the others are still in there!"
Looking on with utter horror, the team could only look on to witness the ki ball crashing through the apartment complex. The impact was surprisingly minor. An explosion erupts around the small area where Taichi's apartment home was contained.
"That was Tai's apartment!" BW exclaimed. "Shit!"
"Then… Then he wasn't after us in the first place?" X wondered.
"I'm surprised he only used a tiny portion of his inner power," Shintomon said. "Otherwise, he would have really let loose and destroy more than just parts of that apartment complex."
"The rat bastard is toying with us," growled Dimitri. "My sister was in there! So were my mom and Palmon! I'm going to show him!"
"Hold on a second," said BW. "Take a look up there, kid."
As BW pointed out towards above the apartments, Dimitri's eyes widened. His face twisted with a relieved smile. Flying within a close distance from the devastated apartments were Rosemon and Hercules Kabuterimon. Along with the two mega digimon were Izzy, Mimi and Rei Saiba. There was no sign of Keke anywhere with them. This only managed to infuriate Max and Dimitri.
"Where the hell is Keke?! Where is she?!" Dimitri snapped.
"That one good son of a- Keke couldn't have made it out of there?!" Max screamed. "That's it! I'm coming, Keke!"
The boy powers up and trails off towards the apartment complex. Omega X quickly notices that Saitou was gone. Then he looked up to find Saitou crashing down towards Max.
"MAX! HEADS UP!"
Max turns around and saw Saitou about to crash down upon him. The boy managed to phase away just in time before Saitou smashed his feet through the concrete. Omega X snatches Max up and faces off with the former apprentice.
"Shintomon! X! Dimitri! See to it that everyone else is doing all right," Omega X ordered. "BW! You follow Max and I. We're going to kick this guy's ass."
"You don't have to tell me twice, brotha. I'm ready to go."
"Be careful, Tai!" X said.
"Don't worry. I'm going to defeat him when it's all said and done."
"Ha. Did I just hear you right? You're going to defeat me?" scoffed Saitou. "If that was a running gag, then I'm not laughing."
Omega X immediately takes off towards Saitou without even thinking for a minute.
"Aw, hell no! I'm dead serious!"
As Omega X cupped his hands together to push out a Terra Beam, Saitou quickly put out a hand to block him. However, the warrior faked it out. This managed to throw Saitou off guard. He looks on to watch Omega X phasing around him at many different directions. His eyes were catching on with the warrior's swift movements.
"A fake, huh? As feeble-minded as he is, Taichi appears to be thinking… He certainly does live up to his reputation as a battle strategist."
"So, how about this? Can you keep up with this speed?"
Omega X suddenly stops and phases above Saitou at close range. He sets up for his Terra Beam technique.
"TERRA BEAM!"
Unfortunately for the warrior, Saitou simply slaps Omega X's hands away to send the blast hurtling into the heavens. He then delivers a forceful kick into Omega X's abdomen. The force sends the fused warrior sailing across through a glass window.
"DAD!"
Saitou quickly phases out from the spot and reappears inside the same building where Omega X was regaining his composure. He clutched his abdomen while cursing under his breath.
"Damn it…"
"Your moves are predictable, Taichi. If I were you, I'd be better off learning the basics from the top. My, my… I wonder if X properly trained you."
"Bastard… You let him down."
"No, I completed my training with X and left by my own choice. Now, get up and fight me with all you've got."
"Oh, I'll show you what I've got, pal."
Shinjuku. Local Cemetery
The local cemetery was just as cryptic and silent like any ordinary cemetery should be. The dark skies loomed over the horizon with barely any sunlight passing through. It would seem the planet was undergoing immediate changes with the tunnel opening.
Despite the quiet environment, there was at least some lively activity taking place. A group of individuals were seen discussing a plan. Davis, Veemon, Sonja, Yolei and Hawkmon were seen huddled together to plan out a strategy to find the monster's whereabouts. Across from them were David, Sam, Kazu, Kenta, Guardromon and Marine Angemon.
"Oh, dude. Why of all places did we get sent here?" Kazu shuddered.
"What's the big deal? It's just a cemetery," David shrugged.
"You don't understand! They say that vengeful spirits wander these parts and take away your souls," Kenta warned the boy.
"You two have been taking those old folk tales a little too seriously," laughed Sam.
"Go ahead and laugh now. Just don't say we didn't warn you," sighed Guardromon.
"Pi! Pi!"
Looking on top of a tree branch were Impmon and Calumon. No ghost tales seem to bother them.
"You think there are ghosts here, Impmon?" the white butterball asked.
"Beats me. If there were, I'd show them a thing or two. Bada-bing!"
"Ok, so that's it?" Davis said. "Look, I have a horrible feeling that this monster was the one who took Ken's body! I just know it!"
"If that's the case, then let's run rough side on this place!" Veemon cried out.
"Are you two idiots forgetting that this is the grounds of the dead? Respect their peace," Sonja sighed.
"She's right. You two are not thinking this through," said Yolei. "Sonja, what do you think?"
The artificial woman sat on a rock while thinking over their plan to locate the monster.
After giving much though, she sits up and points over towards an empty trail leading towards an open field with barely any tombstones. Davis gives the nod to his crew.
"Ok, that's where we should be going," Sonja stated. "Davis. After you…"
"It'd be my pleasure. Let's go guys. We have a monster to beat and a friend to rescue. Don't worry too long, Ken. We're taking your body back as soon as possible!"
With that said, Davis and Veemon walked down the haunting trail through the foggy forest. Everyone else followed along his lead, despite Kazu and Kenta scared out of their wits.
"Eek! We're going to have our souls taken!" the two boys panicked.
Sonja had heard enough of their babbling and turned around to face them.
"If I hear another word out of you two bozos, then I'm going to have my brother's spirit take away your pathetic souls! Better yet I'll take your souls by rearranging your heads!"
They cowered away by the artificial woman's threat and hid behind Guardromon.
"No way! I don't want any piece of her," Kenta screeched.
"With her around, those spirits probably won't even mess with us," said Kazu. "Shoot, she's scarier than Rika when she gets pissed off."
"Come on, guys! Quit fooling around," Sam calls out to them. "Or we're going to leave you!"
"No way! Not with the ghosts!" the boys exclaimed in unison. "Guardromon, you lead the way for us."
"Ugh… Why me?"
"Because robots don't show fear! Now time for you to prove your medal, buddy," Kazu said.
"Oh dear…"
As the scared boys caught up with the group, Davis and Veemon stopped to find themselves across from a grassy meadow field. It was empty with barely any life. Strong, wispy winds were blowing across the grass. Alongside some gates were rows of tombstones lined up against the fencing.
"So, could this be the setting of the monster's whereabouts?" asked David.
"There's only one way to find out," replied Davis.
"Ech. Call me crazy but I think I might have to agree with those boys," Yolei shuddered. "This place is too cryptic for anyone with a right frame of mind!"
"Calm down, mom. Once we beat this monster and rescue father, we'll be out of here in no time," said Sam.
Davis quickly stepped out across the meadow plains and screamed out to break up the silence amongst the cryptic home keep.
"HEY, MONSTER! WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE!"
"Davis?! What the hell are you thinking?! You're basically calling him out here?!" Hawkmon snapped.
"NOW GET OUT HERE AND BRING KEN BACK TO US! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
"Well, that's certainly going to wake the dead! Now you've done it, Davish!" Veemon shrieked.
"We're doomed. Our souls are going to be taken away," piped Kazu.
Suddenly, there was a deep laughter echoing from within the cryptic background. The digimon put up their guards while circling their human friends. Veemon was the first to pick up on the looming danger.
"Everyone, stay together," Veemon ordered. "I'm picking up on the creep."
"About time. So, what is he waiting for?!" Yolei wondered.
"Bad guys sure like to bide their time," Hawkmon growled.
The laughter abounded within the cryptic territory. Within moments, a shadowy figure lurked behind the darkness. The humans felt chills down their spills from the presence of this dark shadow.
"Ah! It's the vengeful spirits!" Kenta freaked out. "Kazu! It's been nice knowing you!"
"Like wise! Sorry for kicking your butt in digimon cards every time."
"Forgiven!"
"Be quiet you, two!" snapped Sonja. "… He's close by."
"Get ready, Veemon."
The laughter immediately subsided for a moment until the digimon turned to find the shadow emerge out of the darkness. It opened its eyes to reveal a crimson glow.
"Ack! It's a ghost!" Kazu and Kenta shrieked.
"It's the monster. It's about time you reveal yourself," Yolei growled. "You took my husband's body…"
"Give us Ken back!" demanded Davis. "Or we're going to take you down!"
"Mmm-heh. Now is that anyway to treat new acquaintances?" the figure chuckled.
"Once we're done with you, you'll be nothing more than a faint memory," Wormmon cries out with venom in his tone. "We demand you bring Ken back to us!"
"Oh, don't you worry. You'll see him soon enough. As a matter of fact, he's the guest of honor this evening."
With a snap of his fingers, a bright light lit up from a post and revealed what looked like a corpse being crucified on a wooden stake. Yolei and Davis gasped at whom they were seeing. The corpse has dark blue hair, a pale face and some funeral clothing.
"It's dad!" Sam cried out. "I can't believe it!"
"Now all we have to do is waste that monster and take back Ken," replied Davis. "Right, guys?"
"Got that right, kiddo," Davis said. "Now, that we know Ken's body is in safe hands. It's time you reveal yourself, corpse-napper!"
"It'd be my pleasure, human."
With that said, another light post shone over the dark figure and finally the devil himself was revealed. The Digi-Destined looked on with shock to the monster's revelation. The monster looks exactly like Myotismon, but only in stature form. His clothes consisted of black, white and gray clothing rather than Myotismon's wardrobe of multi-colors. His hair was long, black and tied back into a ponytail. The lips on his face were black and the eyes under his mask were gold.
With the digimon ready to attack, the vampiric monster took a majestic bow.
"Greetings, Digi-Destined. Welcome to my cryptic abode."
"I take it you're one of those seven monster creeps," Impmon said. "Oh yeah. I've got a bone to pick with you. What do you say we get started, ka-peesh?"
"Now that we know you're the kidnapper, we're going to waste you," Davis threatened the monster."
"Oh, but it would be rude for me not to introduce myself before we get to know each other."
"We'd rather not know your name. Thank you!" the scared boys screamed out in unison.
"Just call me, Necromon."
(Necromon. Type: Dark Wizard Digimon. Level: Ultimate. Special Attacks: Inferno Scream and Death Requiem)
"Necromon, huh? I have to admit. Your name's pretty creative," commented Guardromon.
"Get serious. He's going to be dead when I get through with him," Sonja hissed.
"Silly fools. For my name will be the last thing you will ever hear before I send you to your graves," Necromon chuckled. "Let's see here. I see an excellent collection of souls standing before me. Which delicious morsel shall I partake first?"
"Why don't you quit praising yourself for a change?" Davis growled. "Just for taking Ken, we're taking you down. Veemon! Get ready!"
The digimon stepped up across the meadow to take Necromon from the head start.
"Hey! Why don't you just fuse with Veemon, Davis?" Yolei suggested. "There's no telling if this guy is hiding his true power. Attacking him with just Xveemon or his ultimate couldn't be enough."
"Good point. Veemon, let's do this."
Davis takes out his D-3 and calls upon the power of his device. He and Veemon were immediately merged together as they evolved into their fused warrior form.
"Veemon fusion shinka! Mega Veemon!"
The fusion warrior stepped forward to provide the first line of offense. Necromon was not the least bit worried and started to move across the meadow.
"Yes, Saitou states you fools have been meddling in his affairs. I'm going to do him a big favor by wiping you insects out at once. Give me your worst, cretins."
"Hawkmon, you should go out there and provide some aerial support."
"I'm on it! Hawkmon shinka…"
As Yolei's D-3 went off, Hawkmon's form grew with gigantic proportions. He has now taken the form of a large, majestic eagle with bull's horns on its front head.
"Aquillamon!"
"This should provide for some entertainment," Necromon chuckled.
The vampiric digimon flies up through the darkened skies with his two adversaries trailing behind him. Mega Veemon was the first to unleash the first assault.
"Get back here! V-Blade!"
Mega Veemon summoned forth an energy blade sword in his hand and slashes across at the flying enemy. The vampiric digimon managed to maneuver away from the attack and unleashes a deafening scream that had enough force to devastate a landscape.
"Try some of this! Inferno Scream!"
The digimon stopped at their tracks to see Necromon unleashing a scream that was building up an inferno wave. Mega Veemon grabs Aquillamon and pushes them away from out of harm's way. Necromon looks up and finds Mega Veemon coming down on him. The warrior throws out an array of fists, which Necromon was having some difficulty blocking out. More trouble came as Aquillamon came flying out from behind him.
"Blast Rings!"
The rings quickly struck Necromon across the back and sent him crashing down towards the ground. The digimon followed in pursuit to find their enemy sprawled on the ground.
"Well that was pretty anti-climatic," Yolei said. "Well least that takes care of him. Now, let's go and free Ken."
However, Mega Veemon had a differing opinion. He puts a hand out to prevent Yolei from getting closer to Ken's corpse.
"What's the big idea, Davis?"
"Stay where you are. That's what Necromon wants you to believe. He's not finished."
"He's right. It would be too obvious that someone like him wouldn't have been downed by those shots," Aquillamon informed his partner.
"You mean his ticker is still ticking?!" Kazu exclaimed. "What are you guys waiting for then?"
"Waste him before he wakes up!" Kenta calls out.
"Ha… It won't be as simple as you say, human," Necromon spoke under a raspy voice.
The vampiric monster sits up from the ground with very little damage to his body. He simply dusted himself off and popped his neck.
"I'm not as weak as the Myotismon you're friends have encountered," Necromon said. "With Millenniumon's powers coursing through me, it will take more than those attempts to defeat me."
"Guess we'll just have to turn this up a notch, won't we?" Mega Veemon said.
"Yes, I agree. Let's make this battle of ours more interesting. For instance, allow me to show you my power of necromancy."
"I've just about heard enough from this guy," Sam growled. "David. Let's take him."
"Yeah!"
"You two stay back," Mega Veemon instructed the children. "You keep out of this and protect Wormmon. After all, he can't digivolve with Ken gone."
"Though we could use a hand. Sonja, how about it?" Yolei said.
"Sure. This guy doesn't seem so tough to me."
"Don't leave me out of the loop. Yo, Calumon. You stay and look after those kids," Impmon said. "Here I come, ladies and gents! Impmon mega shinka!"
The tiny imp leaps up and becomes encased within a purple sphere-like egg. The sphere immediately cracked open and releases a large, winged demon. He has a mad biker appearance, a pair of dark angel wings sprouting from his back and deadly claws. His emerald eyes became fixated onto Necromon like a hungry predator.
"Beelzebumon! I'm back in the game!"
"Better late than never, I suppose," laughed Mega Veemon. "Why not give us a hand here, Guardromon?"
"It would be my honor. Kazu, allow me to digivolve to assist my friends?"
"Sure!"
"Guardromon chou shinka!"
Just as Impmon did earlier, Guardromon became encased within a brown digi-sphere. Once it hatched, a tall, silver android stood in his place.
"Andromon!"
"Hopefully, he doesn't completely embarrass himself," Kazu sighed. "Let's go, Andromon!"
"Time to prove my medal."
Necromon found himself surrounded the opposition. Each one was ready to attack him one at a time.
"Seems you five are so desperate to get your hands on me. Well, I think we should even out the odds. What do you say? Now, behold my power of necromancy! Lost souls wandering the earth, hear me!"
The vampiric wizard held out his hands and chanted a form of ancient, satanic tongue. The warriors were confused by the use of ancient language Necromon was speaking.
"I shall return to your bodies, if you will do my bidding."
"Ok! That's enough out of you! I'm taking him out!" Mega Veemon said as he wielded a blade. "V-"
"Inferno Scream!"
Necromon sends out a powerful scream, which in turn created a fiery effect. Mega Veemon raised his blade and diverted the attack away from his group.
"You're going to have to do better than that, Necromon. V-Bl-"
Suddenly, skeleton hands emerged from out of the ground and snatched everyone's feet. This included everyone but Necromon and the spectators. Mega Veemon throws out a ki blast to destroy the skeleton hand. Aquillamon found himself tangled by zombie hands until Sonja came to rip the skeletons off of him. Beelzebumon stomps onto the ground to kick the hands away.
"Hands off of the merchandise, bone boy!"
Andromon leaps away to release missiles from out of his chest. He kept several skeletons at bay.
"Sonja. Andromon and Aquillamon are the weakest of us five. We're going to have to guard them at all costs," Mega Veemon said.
"Okay, you just leave the bone boys to me."
"Great, that just leaves me with Necromon. Hey! You better call the dead off and fight me like a 'mon."
"How amusing, but I found this rather entertaining. Now, who should be my first victim?"
The monster looks across at the spectators and notices David. A sadistic smile covers Necromon's chagrin. He found the victim he was looking for.
"Child! Prepare yourself! You shall be a guinea pig for an experiment I have in store for you!"
"No! You stay the hell away from my son! Fight me, coward!" Mega Veemon roared with anger. "Sam! David! Get out of there!"
"It's too late to save him now."
With the snap of his fingers, skeletal hands emerged through the ground under David's feet. The boy attempted to fly up but the hands were dragging him down. He looks down and sends a small ki blast to keep them at bay. More skeletons emerged from the ground and piled onto David.
"DAVID!" Mega Veemon and Sonja cried out.
Just before the couple could attack, Necromon phased out from where he stood and reappears at the spot David was held down. The monster takes out a scalpel and kneels down over the boy. He tried breaking free but Necromon's dark magic somehow was keeping him immobilized. His ki energy was weaker than most of the others and couldn't help to protect him.
"MOMMA! DAD! HELP!"
"You bastard! You stay the hell away from him!" Mega Veemon screamed out.
"I'm coming, David!" cried Sonja.
The artificial woman puts her hands out and formed a massive energy sphere. She sends it out hurtling towards Necromon as her prime target.
"Babe! You'll also aim David! Don't do it!"
"POWER BLITZ!"
It was too late. The reckless female sends the energy blast at Necromon, without even thinking about the consequences of its effects. Fortunately, more skeletons emerged from out of the ground to shield Necromon. The vampiric wizard was growing irritated by their efforts.
"Foolish really… Can't you see I'm trying to examine this boy? I want to see how tasty his flesh looks from the inside. Then, once I leave him as nothing more than a pile of bones, I'll use my necromancy to bring him under my control. Afterwards, I'll enjoy the pleasure to see you two left with no choice but to slay your own son."
"That's sick!" Yolei exclaimed. "Sam! Do something!"
"I can't… Necromon seems to be using some magical barrier to keep me from rescuing David!"
"It can't be!"
"Oh, but it is dear human," Necromon laughed. "These two weaklings can never hope to break through my magical barrier. Only those who are not tainted with darkness in their heart can break through."
"You're looking at one, monster!" growled Mega Veemon.
"You?"
"That's right!"
"I see, but it's too late. I'm already going to enjoy carving out your dear child like a turkey."
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!" Sonja snapped.
Sonja came charging forward and prepared for another shot of her Power Blitz. The vampiric monster looks across at the charging artificial woman and chuckled. She fires off a shot, which immediately dissipated against Necromon's barrier.
"What the…?!"
"You couldn't hope to break through since you still carry the darkness within your heart."
"What do you mean?! My mom's never been bad!" David said.
"Shall I give you a little history lesson? Many moons ago, your mother was originally human. That is until a genius named Datamon found her and her younger brother, Jax. He had promised them infinite power, wisdom and eternal life. However, he lied and took away their human will. He stripped away most of their human emotions and turned them into artificials. With vengeance in her heart, she and her brother killed Datamon."
"No way! It was Jax that did it! Twice to be more exact!" Mega Veemon calls out. "I would know. The first I saw Datamon die, it was at the hands of her brother."
"I don't understand. Why can she have darkness in her heart?" Sam said.
"Because she still can't cope with the demons in her past. Datamon and his sick experiments still linger in her memories. She can only remember so little of her once human life."
"She may not be my biological mom, but she's still my mom!" David snapped.
"David…" Sonja sighed calmly.
"How touching, but it's too bad your momma can't save you now, boy," Necromon said as he prepared to cut open David.
"No! But his daddy sure can!"
Within a split second, Necromon turned to find Mega Veemon's fist penetrating through the barrier. His fist connected with the monster's face, which sends him flying out across the cemetery.
"Dad! Way to go!"
"That's the husband I grew to love."
"Thank goodness," Yolei sighed with relief. "Aquillamon! How are you guys holding off?"
To answer her question, the skeleton zombies were already being easily dealt with. Beelzebumon and Andromon had already taken care of a whole batch while Aquillamon finished off the remaining fleet.
"I take it you guys are doing well. Good, we're back on the winning track, guys!"
Mega Veemon steps forward across from where Necromon laid sprawled against the ground.
"Get off your ass, Necromon. You're not fooling anyone by playing possum. Now, why don't you fight fairly and quit using human shields?! I still have plenty of energy to blow you up and scatter you to the wind."
Immediately responding to Mega Veemon's threats, Necromon leaps back on his feet. He rearranges his tilted head and wipes the blood from his lips.
"Well, looks like you still want some more?"
"You shouldn't have interfered with my examination. I was just about to perform an operation on your dear son…"
"Go anywhere near my family again and I'll split you in half."
"Your attack was most unsportsmanlike."
Necromon snapped his fingers as more skeletons emerged from the ground. They surrounded him to provide possible defensive shields. He finally looks across at the pile of bones left behind by Beelzebumon and company. He seethed angrily as his "pets" were destroyed.
"You shattered them, my pets. Oh well. They were quite useful for the time being. Such a waste."
"You're a sick bastard," cursed Mega Veemon. "You're using the bones from the dead. Let them rest in peace."
"They were the ones who volunteered to help my cause. Once I've defeated you and your group, I would have let them rest. That's exactly what Dark Angel would have done."
"Dark Angel…?" Yolei wondered.
"You'll find out who I'm mentioning in due time. That is if you can get past me that is," Necromon chuckled. "Now, Davis. Behold, the supreme magic of my necromancy. Bone soldiers! Hear me!"
"Shit, not this trick again," Mega Veemon scoffed. "Yolei! You get the kids out of here!"
"Will do! C'mon, David! Sam!"
With that said, Yolei led the two boys out of the battlefield. Sam managed to carry along Calumon and Wormmon. Frantically catching up with them were Kazu, Kenta and Marine Angemon.
"Wait for us!" the boys called out.
"Sonja. Looks like we'll deal with these creeps ourselves," Mega Veemon said. "Ready for some action?"
"To get my hands on that creep? Anything."
"Those of you who still sleep in the Earth…"
Suddenly, while Necromon was continuing his incantation, the ground started to tremble. It almost felt as if an earthquake was taking place but the warriors realized what was set to transpire.
"The graves are shaking!" Andromon said.
"Yeah? No kidding, huh?" Beelzebumon replied with sarcasm. "There's more of them coming. I can feel it."
"He's summoning more of them… A multitude!" Mega Veemon exclaimed.
"Now, here my command… AND RISE!"
The ground exploded and out came a large mass of skeleton warriors charging across from throughout the cemetery. Sonja and Mega Veemon were ready to attack the army en masse.
"Get ready, babe."
"You know I am."
Necromon laughed out like a maniac once the skeletons charged past him. He felt as if he already had grasped victory almost immediately.
"Ha! Ha! Attack my bone soldiers! Strip the flesh from their bones! Leave nothing but their bones!"
Once the bone soldiers came closer, Mega Veemon's body set off a bright aura and pushed out a tremendous force to send the bone soldiers flying back. Sonja watched as her husband was undergoing his next evolution.
"What's happening?!" Necromon screamed out in question.
"Wait until you get a look at your opponent," snickered Sonja.
"Mega Veemon chou shinka! Saber Veemon!"
Once the flash of light dispersed, all that was left was a pile of bones scattered across the cemetery. Sonja was still standing in place but there was the arrival of a new warrior. He was similar yet different from Mega Veemon. In fact, this was still Mega Veemon, but he has now evolved straight into his 'second level stage'. Saber Veemon stood with streaks of electricity volting across his stature.
"Another transformation by Davis…?" Necromon wondered. "Interesting. Perhaps I may have underestimated you. Dark Angel never told me anything about this."
"Never believe in what you hear," Saber Veemon spoke lowly. "Sonja. This one's going to get messy. How about staying back?"
"Um, okay…"
Sonja kindly stepped away to let her husband walk past her. He takes out his light sword and dashes forward with hyper speed. Necromon gasped out once his enemy dashed out towards him. Necromon calls forth for more of his remaining bone soldiers to protect him. Necromon's laughter continued on as more bones piled on him. A ki/magic barrier formed around the bone piles.
"Yes! This shall keep me from harm!"
"Oh, boy. Doesn't he know that won't work?" sighed Beelzebumon. "It's like sticking a pencil into an electrical socket."
"Saber Veemon will break through his barrier," Aquillamon said.
"Fool! You can't hope to penetrate through a combination of bones and a ki barrier constructed by my own dark magic!"
"Want to bet?!"
With one swing of his light sword, he sends out a powerful force of light energy. He single-handedly sends it across and shatters the bone piles into dust. Necromon is struck face-on with the force and is sent flying backwards. However, Saber Veemon wasn't finished from there. He flies forward and delivers an array of fists across the vampiric monster's abdomen. He spits out a mouthful of blood. Saber Veemon finishes him off with an elbow shot into his chest cavity. The monster is sent crashing back against a tombstone.
"Yeah! Way to go, dad!" David cheered from the background.
"That was awesome. Your dad sure knows how to get rid of the bad guys," Sam said.
"Davis. Just one more shot and that monster is history. That digicore piece will be ours in no time!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Davis. Let's get this over with," Sonja nodded.
"Now, Necromon. Just give it up, hand us the digicore and hand over Ken's body. Make it easy on yourself."
However, Necromon had other options in mind. He didn't take Saber Veemon's threats seriously and chuckled despite being battered to near death. Bones were impaled through some sections of his body, including one through his chest cavity.
"That… was unexpected, Davis. I thought it would be over quickly."
"It will be. For you, Necromon."
Necromon only chuckled at his adversary's threats and lifted his head to make eye contact with the fused warrior.
"Ugh… Egh… Nheh, heh! Ha! Are you suggesting… that you have won? Ludicrous. You cannot win, warrior."
"Stand up and fight, Necromon. If you can, it's your choice. Either hand over your digicore or I take it by force. It doesn't matter what decision you make. Your death is imminent."
"Just kill him already!" Beelzebumon scoffed. "The suspense is killing me! Damn!"
"Please, do it for Ken!" Wormmon calls out to Saber Veemon.
Laughter abounded from Necromon and this didn't suite well for Saber Veemon. He was growing irritated by the monster's defiant laughter.
"Why the hell are you laughing you sick freak?" growled Saber Veemon. "Admit defeat, Necromon. Next, I'm going to smash your head in."
"Oh, but that's not going to happen."
"Like hell it's not! You tried to operate on my son like he was some animal! I'll never forgive you for that! So, allow me to play the role of a surgeon as I cut your necromancy ass into pieces! All of your bone soldiers have been turned into dust and that just leaves you. So, you know what the means?"
Necromon finally realized the truth. Every one of his bone soldiers was turned into dust and no longer of any use. Not even his necromancy magic could revive dust.
"That bastard just used the bones of the dead. He used them for his sick games! He has no respect for the deads' peace! Ken, if you can hear me, this one's for you my friend!"
"Where is your arrogant self-assurance, Davis? Weren't you going to finish me off quickly?"
"I will! Necromon! You asked for it! You're going down, right now! So get ready! I'm going to honor the dead by destroying you!"
Saber Veemon's blade started to emit a bright aura of pure light. He dashes forward and lets out a loud battle cry. The vampiric digimon stood his ground and his arms were outstretched. It looked as though Necromon was actually begging for Saber Veemon to finish him.
"That's it you, fool. Just come and take a big swing with that blade. You'll fail to realize that I've always have a last resort."
Before Saber Veemon swung his sword forward, Necromon made eye contact with Ken's corpse and licked his lips thoroughly.
"YOU'RE HISTORY, NECROMON! THIS IS FOR THE DEAD SOULS YOU'VE TORMENTED!"
"Looks like you've just won the battle. Congratulations, human…"
Saber Veemon takes a mighty swing and sends out the gigantic energy wave, which caught Necromon in the process. The vampiric monster lets out his finals creams before being disintegrated from within the blast itself. Once the dust settled, the landscape was not just devastated by every trace of Necromon was dispersed. Saber Veemon sheathed his sword and powered down his aura.
"It's over. Now you can join the rest of your brethren, Necromon."
"All right! Way to go, dad!" cheered David.
"We did it! Now we can retrieve the digicore and take the Ken's body," Yolei suggested. "Davis. Our job here is done."
"Yeah."
"Look, there's the digicore piece," Sonja pointed out.
"Where is it?" wondered Sam.
"Right there next to Ken's body."
"Then, we're done here. C'mon, guys. Let's be sure to let Tai and the others know about what we just accomplished our task."
Saber Veemon looks over at the crucified Ken and bows his head in prayer.
"Ken, we're getting close to retrieving the digicores. Once we beat the next three, we'll be restoring you back to life. Won't Yolei and I be happy to see you again? For the time being, just hang in there."
"All right! Let's nab that thing and get the hell out of this place," Kazu commented.
"The sooner the better I say," replied Kenta.
As Saber Veemon reached over to grab the digicore piece, the object quickly set off a dark aura and flies out of his grasp. The digicore levitated over Ken's body.
"Hey, what the hell is going on?!" screamed Saber Veemon. "No! What's happening to the digicore?!"
"Look! Ken's body is starting to move about!" Yolei cried out. "Davis! Look out!"
"NO! KEN!"
The digicore cracked open and sends a dark cloud, which enveloped Ken's corpse. Saber Veemon tried to move out to grab Ken, but he was too late to retrieve his friend. A bright aura shot out and repelled Saber Veemon. The digicore infused with Ken's corpse simultaneously.
"KEN! JUST WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Saber Veemon cursed.
"Davis! Get back!" Sonja cried out.
Sonja pushed back Saber Veemon until the aura started to expand. It was slowly taking the shape of a large, dragon-like creature with a massively structured form. Its body was completely made out of bones and its eyes were setting off a crimson glow. It unleashed a horrifying scream that echoed throughout the cemetery.
"What…?! I'm sensing Necromon from him!" Aquillamon roared.
"Necromon, but I just killed that bastard!" Saber Veemon cursed. "But… No! The digicore is still tainted with Millenniumon's dark essence!"
"In the process, he just absorbed Ken's body," Sonja replied.
"No! Not my Ken!" Yolei broke down in tears.
The purple-haired woman fell down to her knees and buried her hands in her face. Sam and David stepped over to comfort her.
"Oh… This is not good at all," Calumon sighed. "Everyone's so sad… I wish there was something I could."
"You bastard! Necromon! Give Ken back to us! That was low and cheap of you!" Saber Veemon cried out.
The towering beast merely responded with a sinister bellowing laughter.
"Fools! With the digicore and your dear friend as one with me, I'm managed to digivolve further! Necromon shinka! Lichidramon!"
Once the aura of light dispersed, a building-sized dragon with a body made out of bones was standing over the group. It's eyes were blood red and fueled with pure evil. The warriors stood their ground to prepare for an even deadlier battle. Necromon paled in comparison with this hell demon.
"Lichidramon? Necromon, I don't care you who are, but you're still the same tricky bastard who has to rely on outside help you!"
"Davis! Let's be careful," Sonja warned her husband. "Beelzebumon. Andromon. Aquillamon. Stay together."
"This isn't exactly what I expected. Lichidramon, even if it takes all of us to defeat you, then we'll do everything in our power."
"Those are some big words from a little man," Lichidramon laughed. "But you forget. Your friend is apart of me. If you destroy me, then your friend's body is gone forever. Besides, you simply don't have to heart to destroy your friend's body and still have a chance to revive him when the digicores are gathered again. So, what's it going be?"
"Damn. He's right. What can I do? How can I save Ken if he's inside that no good bastard?"
"Looks like you're holding back. What a coward. I just wish I could see the ridiculous look on your face right now. Since you too afraid to attack me, I'll just go on and destroy your precious city. You can try and stop me, but you will only be forced to kill your precious friend, Ken Ichijouji!"
The situation has now taken a turn for the worst as far as Saber Veemon's crew were concerned. The fourth monster had committed a foul trick and has taken away the Digi-Destined's dearest friend, Ken Ichijouji. In the process, Lichidramon is drawing power from the digicore and sets off to destroy Shinjuku. Saber Veemon will probably have to regret what he probably be forced to do: kill Lichidramon and destroy Ken's body in the process to retrieve the next digicore.
Odaiba. Across Town
Back in Odaiba district, the smoke was rising from the apartment complex where Saitou directed his attack earlier. Citizens were starting to take notice and the local fire department was on the move.
"Hey, what the hell just happened?" a businessman wondered.
"Looks like a bombing from what I heard," replied a teen. "All I know is that smoke is rising."
Walking out of a fast food joint was the mysterious masked/hooded boy identified as Sigma. He came walking out and stuffed a hamburger underneath his mask. Walking behind him was a tall girl with blonde hair tied up into pigtails. Her eyes were pale blue and gave off an eerie appearance. Her wardrobe consisted of some black, gothic attire. This girl is identified as Mari the Game Master. Hence, she had just left an arcade after playing a dose of DDR, AKA Dance Dance Revolution.
"That's the signal, Sigma."
"All right. Let's go. This time we mean business."
Other side of the city. Apartment complex area
Omega X was slowly getting back on his feet after being struck by a painful kick by Saitou. The Dark Angel was standing at a close distance with a calm and calculated expression.
"Damn. If I don't do something about his feet, then I'm screwed."
Saitou gives a smirk and takes off towards the skies above. The warrior got back up on his feet and dashes out of the building.
"Hey! Get back here!"
"He just flew away! Let's go after him!" BW said.
With that said, Omega X, BW and Max each took off into the air to give flight chase against Saitou. The Dark Angel felt their ki signals approaching and directly disappears down within the city.
Back within the devastated apartment complex, the wreckage left by Saitou's attack horrified Sora and Biyomon. Their job was to find Keke.
"Keke! Keke!" Sora calls out to the girl.
"Hey! Over here!"
Sora was relieved to hear the girl's voice and turns around to find her walking out with a bleeding left arm. The pink bird digimon flies down next to Keke and scoops her up in her arms.
"Keke! You're hurt! We have to get you to safety."
"Sora. Biyomon. You two have to go and stop Max. Rei's been telling us that Max is the one Saitou is looking for."
"What? You mean with the hole tunnel business?"
"Yeah, from what Rei's managed to tell us."
"I see. We better get you to safety first."
"No, Sora. I'll be fine. You two go and find Max as soon as possible! Or at least warn Tai and the others. They have to know the reason behind Saitou's sudden attack."
"We just can't leave you here though," Biyomon stated.
"It's okay. This is just a minor cut. I'll manage but you two need to find them. I'll catch up with you guys later."
"Ok, then. Let's go, Biyomon."
With a nod from her digimon friend, the redhead and her digimon fled out from the apartment complex. They left Keke behind to at least recuperate for the time being.
"Max…" the girl whispered.
Other side of Odaiba District
After having given chase to Saitou earlier from above, Omega X and his comrades were looking everywhere across a busy street. The villain had successfully managed to hide his ki to camouflage well with the crowd. For a few moments, they were distracted by the crowd gatherings. That is until Saitou came out into the open with a cocky grin on his face. Omega X was quick to point him out. The villain managed to slip by the crowds and rushes inside what appeared to be an empty lobby hall.
"There! I see the bastard! He's heading inside that lobby hall!"
Once the trio arrived inside, Saitou came walking out on the top floor steps.
"What the hell are you trying to pull, Saitou?!" cursed Omega X.
Rather than responding to his adversary's question, Saitou smirks and only managed to infuriate Omega X in the process. The warrior leaps forward and attempts to throw out a punch. The Dark Angel phases out just in time before Omega X could land a blow.
Saitou was standing on the other side of the hall. Rapidly moving across the hall, Saitou charged head on with Omega X. The warrior of courage throws out a ki-coated fist. Dark Angel easily brushed it aside with a hand swipe and responds with a kick. Omega X was quick to put up his guard, but the force of the blow sends him skidding across the hall.
The villain charges across and goes for another kick. However, Omega X saw this through and caught Saitou's leg just in time. The villain was caught off guard and watched as Omega X attempt a ki blast shot at close range.
"He just cut off Saitou's offense!" BW said. "He's got him now!"
"Take him back to school, dad!"
"Not so tough with the only the use of one leg, huh?"
"On the contrary…"
Suddenly, Omega X turned to find Saitou leaping up. He delivers a kick to the back of the warrior's head. He had just delivered what many call an Enziguri counter. Omega X falls down face first and clutched his throbbing head.
"He just enziguried Tai! Damn!" BW cursed. "Hey, what are you doing, Max?! Get back here, bro!"
"Hey, Saitou! I've got a little surprise for you!"
The Dark Angel immediately turns around and found Max charging towards him. Max puts out a hand and channels through his ki to reform his ki sword.
"I'm taking your ass out with my special sword! Get a load of this!"
"Max! Get out of there! He'll kill you!" Omega X cried out.
"At last, I get to see the Dimensional Blade for myself," Saitou thought.
Unfortunately, to the dismay of Max, no ki sword materialized. He was left to wonder why his ki sword never appeared. Saitou lets out a sigh of disappointment.
"Where's my sword?! What just happened?! Oh crap! Oh crap!"
"How anti-climatic… I guess I will just have to eventually force it out of him. In the meantime, I'm going to shut that boy's mouth."
Saitou phases out from out of everyone's sight. They looked around the hallways in search of the cloaked enemy. Max was the first to spot Saitou, who was coming down at him with an outstretched foot. Omega X teleports from the ground and reappears over Max. Once he snatches the boy up, Omega X uses his Time Warp to teleport out. Saitou only managed to smash his feet through the ground.
"Heads up, Saitou! I'm coming right after you!" BW bellowed out.
The warrior formerly known as BlackWarGreymon launches a ki blast at Saitou. Dark Angel easily maneuvers away and allows the shot to shot through a glass window. Saitou saw this as an open opportunity and flies out through the window.
Once Omega X and X recollected themselves, they followed BW out to give chase to the enemy. Saitou was levitating over the middle of the city. He takes a landing on a city bridge as spectators of people were looking on in awe. The trio trailed along in pursuit.
"Coward. You just had to surround yourself with these people," Omega X scoffed.
"It doesn't matter since they will all be judged eventually," Saitou replied.
Suddenly, the Dark Angel heard the loud humming from an incoming object from the far distance. It turned out to be a form of futuristic bike hovercraft. Saitou gives a nodding gesture.
"Good, it's about time you came, Hideto."
Almost suddenly, Saitou takes off into the heavens. The warrior of courage growled in frustration and takes off after him.
"Get back here, Saitou!"
"Hang on, dad! I'm following you too!"
With the Kamiya boys gone to give chase to Saitou again, Hideto makes a stop and faces off with BW. Hideto prepares to fire his ki targets at BW, but he found an even better target. Sora and Biyomon came out into the open.
"BW! Please, we have to tell you something that concerns Saitou's plans!" Sora cries out.
"Sora! Biyomon! Get back!"
The Sniper launches his ki targets directly for Sora. The young woman could only stand frozen for a moment until BW brought himself to shield Tai's lover. The ki targets dissipated against BW's chiseled form.
"Nice try, punk. You're going to need to find better targets than that."
Hideto scoffed at the warrior's comments and starts his hover bike. He takes off from out of the area to leave BW behind.
"Oh well. He's nothing but small fry."
"Thanks, BW."
"It's not a problem. You're Tai's wife and he'd have my head if something ever happened to you. Now, what were you trying to me before we were rudely interrupted?"
"BW. What Sora is saying is that she knows who Saitou is looking for. She knows according to Rei and Keke that Max is the one Saitou is looking for."
"What?! You mean that little pipsqueak wields the weapon to cut through the barrier?! I have got to warn Tai because Max just left with him to find Saitou!"
"Oh no! We have to find them and quickly!"
"Just hang onto me, ladies. I'll get us there in a flash," BW said.
Biyomon and Sora wrapped their arms around BW's waist before he took flight. He now followed through on Omega X's ki, in hopes of also tracking Max. The warriors take off into the distance.
"Tai. Max. I'm on my way. I just hope nothing happens to either one of you two, fools."
Outskirts of Odaiba District
Saitou looks ahead to find an apartment building and lands on the top roof. Once landing, he felt two kis heading for his direction.
"Ah, good. Everything is going according to plan."
Omega X and Max look across to pick up on Saitou's ki signal. The warrior gives a nod to his son.
"Listen, dad. I'll be going down at the ground level. I have a feeling Saitou has underlings posted around this place. I'll take care of them while you handle Saitou. What do you say?"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, why not? Then, I'll rejoin you."
"At least it's better than having to worry about him and it gives me the chance to go all out."
"Dad? Well, what do you think?"
"Sure. This gives me a chance to go all out and ascend to fusion level four. I doubt Saitou can take me in that form."
"You do that. You just leave me with his cronies. I'll take them to school!"
"Good luck, Max. Heh, like you ever need it."
Once Omega X lands on the roof, Max makes a landing on the ground level. He races off towards the front door until he accidentally bumps into a tall figure. He fell back and brushed himself off. Max looks up to find Mari on the ground. She was rubbing her back and picked up her purse.
"Oh, sorry. I was in a bit of a hurry there, ma'm."
"No, that was my fault," Mari said while getting back on her feet. "Here, I'll let you pass through."
"Thank you. You know it would be a good idea to get out of here because there's a fight on the roof."
"Oh my… I should be getting out to safety then. Thanks for the warning, kid."
"No problem. Now to aid my father…"
Suddenly, Max immediately stopped as he felt the expansion of someone's territory. He turns around and makes eye contact back with Mari.
"You just opened up your territory, didn't you?! You're one of Saitou's crewmembers? I have a bone to pick with you!"
"Wow, you just figured it out, didn't you, moron? Sigma! I've got him!"
"What?!"
As soon as he turned around, Max saw Sigma walking out from a dark corner. His hands became coated with crimson energy. The boy could only gasp in horror as Sigma sent out a red lighting attack to ensnare him in the process.
"CRIMSON LIGHTNING!"
"NO!"
Meanwhile, back on the roof, Omega X confronts Saitou to finish off where they had previously left off.
"It's just down to you and me, Saitou. No more bullshit outside interference."
"They should have him by now. Five. Four. Three. Two. One."
As if it were on cue, Max's screams echoed and Omega X was quick to realize this.
"MAX!"
Saitou looks down from the rooftop to find a hovercraft busting out from the parking lot. He leaps down from the ledge and takes flight after the hovercraft.
"Max! Get back here! What have you done with Max?!"
Before Omega X could even attempt to move, an energy sphere came crashing down onto the apartment roof. The warrior looks up in attempt to find the source of the attack.
"What the hell was that?! Who did that?!"
"Tai! What just happened here?!" BW's voice calls out from beyond the distance.
"BW! This is bad! Max's been taken by Saitou! Look! There they go! As I was about to chase them, something came shooting down at me."
"Have any idea who could have done it?" Sora asked.
"No, but I have to go and save Max!"
"Tai, there's something you should know," Biyomon said.
"There's no time for that, Biyomon. Max needs me!"
Just before Omega X had the chance to move out, Keke was seen in the far distance. She looks ahead to find Omega X and the group.
"Look! It's Keke!" Sora pointed out the obvious.
"Keke?! What the hell is she doing here?!" BW wondered.
"Tai! Please, allow me to go after Max," Keke managed to speak.
"No way. You're in no condition to chase down Saitou and the others. You better leave this one with me."
"Please, Tai! I want to prove my worth and… Well, Max is my best friend. If you will, I want to save Max this time. He's been my rescuer many times and I'd like to be his rescuer for once. Tai… If can even call for Dimitri's help… Or BW, you could go with me."
"I would think that be for the best," said Biyomon. "Tai. You said that someone has launched an attack on you just before you went to rescue Max?"
"Yeah…"
"Um, by any chance does the attacker look like an orange gargoyle?!" Sora asked.
"I don't know. I couldn't see him," Omega X said. "Why?"
"Take a look above you, Tai," replied BW.
The warrior took a peek towards the heavens and finds an orange gargoyle-like creature levitating. It was preparing to launch an attack on the crew. Omega X was quick to point it out and sensed its ki.
"Yeah, that's the perpetrator! Ok, here's the deal! BW. Keke. I want you two to go and save Max for me. Neither one of you two will be any match for this intruder. You leave him with me."
"But, Tai. There's something you should know about Saitou's plan…"
"Not now, Sora. I want you and Biyomon to find the others. Tell X about how drastic the situation is. Please, do that for me."
"Taichi Kamiya!"
"We have no time to lose. Keke! BW! I'm counting on you two! Let's move!"
"Taichi! Wait and give me time to explain!" Sora exclaimed.
Unfortunately, her cries weren't enough to stop her husband. Omega X flies up and meets with the mysterious figure. He looks down to give Keke and BW the signal.
"He just gave us the signal. Let's move out," BW instructed Keke.
The pair instantly flared their ki auras and fled out across the city. This left Omega X and the mysterious figure to fly out from the Odaiba city district. Sora hitched onto her digivolved partner, Birdramon, to head off to search for the others.
"Taichi Kamiya. You can be so reckless! Our son was just kidnapped for god's sake! But I trust Keke will save him. I really want to believe we can take care of this problem. I just about to tell that idiot about what they're planning to do with Max. Tai. I just hope you know what you're doing, because I'm not going forget what you just said."
Elsewhere across Odaiba, Keke was picking up on Max's ki signal and pointed out up north. Up ahead of the pair was the hovercraft containing Mari as the driver and Sigma. In the back of the vehicle was Max contained inside of a red barrier. The boy smashes against the barrier but to no avail. He looks up to see Saitou levitating over him.
"Relax, Max Kamiya. You're going to helping our cause. You should feel honored."
"Saitou! Just you wait until my dad and my friends rescue me!"
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your father is too preoccupied at the moment."
"Preoccupied? What do you mean?"
"It seems Taichi has run into one of the seven monsters, but which one? I can't say."
"Doesn't matter how many monsters he has to fight, he's going to cream this one and stomp your ass into the curb!"
"Such a foul mouth from a fragile child. You will have the privilege for cutting down the anti-Synister barrier for us."
"Like hell I will!"
"Taichi. I have your son. I sense that you've sent two comrades to derail us. They shall be easily dealt with. But you, Taichi. Our paths will cross again. I promise you that."
Keke and BW were gaining a closer range of the hovercraft guarded by Saitou. The girl looks ahead to find Max contained inside a barrier.
"Max! Hang in there! I'm coming to save you!"
The two-way chaos has undergone dramatic turnarounds. Davis and his team managed to defeat Necromon. However, the villain committed a foul and absorbed Ken's body to digivolve straight into the terrifying Lichidramon. Can they hope to destroy Lichidramon without destroying Ken's body in the process? The situation grows dire back in Odaiba with Max being taken captive by Saitou. With Omega X being distracted by one of the newly arrived seven monsters, Keke and BW are in hot pursuit to retrieve Max. How will the Digi-Destined manage to overcome this and save their planet from the upcoming apocalypse?

Tai: Hey, everyone. It's me, Taichi! With my son kidnapped by that bastard, our problems have gotten worse. While I'm on hot pursuit for this monster whose toying with me, Keke and BW risk their lives to save Max. But, what happens when Keke becomes a prime target for Hideto the Sniper?
Saitou: Hideto will take out Max's little friend and maybe then we should get results from the boy. Perhaps taking away his loved one will raise his ki energy and ultimately create the Dimensional Sword.
Keke: That just leaves BW and I to have a run-in with the Sniper. But unfortunately for us, Sniper has an accomplice by his side to distract BW while he alone targets me.
BW: This accomplice can somehow turn the environment around him into an icy territory.
Davis: Geez, you guys are in a tight pinch, but we're here dealing with a psychotic monster!
Lichidramon: You have no hopes of rescuing your dear friend! Ken remains within me and shall provide me with enough power to destroy this city! Die, humans!
Davis: Ken, if you can hear me, there's only one way out of this. With a miracle…
Yolei: What's this? It's the Golden Digimental of Miracles?!

I'm catching on with these quick updates since I'm REALLY behind on this saga. If you guys just read the latest chapters for both my Pharaohmon series and D-Fusion saga, then you guys pretty much received your Christmas gifts early. I'm glad to know you guys are still reading my Pharaohmon arc.
Now, we move ahead into a dire situation as our heroes have gotten themselves problems. Davis and his team must save Ken's body but in the process defeat Lichidramon to do so. Plus, Max has been kidnapped and it's up to Keke to save him. Tai's got his hands full with an unexpected appearance by a Millenniumon monster.
Now that's enough out of me. Let's get on with the fic. Enjoy!
Things had taken quite a turn when it was revealed that Ken Ichijouji's body was captured by Necromon. Davis and his unit had finally confronted the body-napper and took it to the fourth monster. Mega Veemon and Aquillamon were up to take on the sinister vampiric wizard. Using hordes of bone soldiers, it seemed that Necromon was gaining an upper hand. That is until he decided to use David as a human shield. Not until Mega Veemon evolved straight into Saber Veemon. The fused warrior wasted Necromon and was ready to retrieve the digicore piece. However, the digicore moved out of his grasp, enfused with Ken's body and thus Necromon became reborn as the demonic, bone titan known as Lichidramon. The only way to save Ken and the digicore was to defeat Lichidramon, but the beast warned that destroying him would dissolve Ken's body. Davis makes a tough decision. It's a matter of saving his friend or risking the lives of others.
Back in Odaiba, Saitou launched a full-scale war against Tai and the remaining Digi-Destined. Saitou, a practitioner of the Kiresshu-ken fighting style, easily dodged Level Two Omega X's attacks, and blew up the apartment that Keke was in. Tai chased after Saitou, who had taken off across the city skies. However, that was all apart of Saitou's plan. His true objective was to capture Taichi's own son, Max. Before he had a chance to save Max, an unexpected attacker interrupted Omega X. Once he took off after the accomplice, Keke and BW set off to rescue Max Kamiya.
(Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays)
The Pursuit for Max Kamiya! Lichidramon's Big Mistake, the Reawakening of a Miracle!
Outskirts of Odaiba District
With the tides turning against Tai's group, Saitou and his accomplices had succeeded in capturing Max for their cause. Their main goal was to use him to activate his hidden powers and create the Dimensional Blade. The weapon would be used to cut down the anti-Synister barrier in hopes of releasing the Digital Universe's most powerful, cruelest and blood lusting creatures. Saitou hopes to punish the human race in the process to atone for their sins.
Tai was unfortunately distracted at the moment by what appears to be another one of the seven monsters. He couldn't be available to save Max since the 'monster' would distract him. On the bright side, Keke had volunteered to go after Saitou and his crew to save Max. Sora and Tai had suggested BW to accompany her since Saitou would be there to guard Max like a trophy prize.
Meanwhile, the warrior of courage would use this time to chase after the monster. He felt Keke and BW were better off to rescue Max since they couldn't hope to defeat this monster together. Sora couldn't manage to tell Tai about Saitou's plans for Max since the warrior had departed. She was left with Birdramon to warn X about the dire turn of events.
And so… It comes down to a high speed chase across the skies. Keke and BW were on hot pursuit for the hovercraft containing a captive Max, who was being guarded by Saitou.
The driver, Mari, was driving the hovercraft across the city and like many women drivers was driving like a maniac. She turned the hovercraft over and slipped in between two skyscrapers. She then drove it all the way through towards the top of the skyscrapers. Max was cursing out the girl's insane driving skills.
"You dumb blonde! Don't you know how to drive?!"
"Oh look! I'm getting ready to pass through a red light! Here we go! This is going to be a bumpy ride down! Fasten your safety belts!"
With that said, she sets the hovercraft down and positions it towards the busy streets down below. The hover unit dives down like a peregrine falcon at top speed. The girl laughed and hollered all the way for everyone to hear. Max wasn't enjoying the ride and who could blame the poor kid. He continuously punches away at the barrier containing him. Mari set the hovercraft down and drives past the red light. This resulted in many other hover cars to crash into each other. It looked like a destruction derby had just occurred.
"Ha! Woo! That was great! I just love destruction derbies!" Mari laughed maniacally. "Rock on!"
Far off from the hovercraft's location, BW and Keke flew across the city at a rapid pace. They were instantly picking up two kis. One from Max and the other from Saitou. They looked down at the destruction caused by Mari's bad driving.
"Yeah, this is sign," BW said. "They were just here. I'm sensing them ahead, Keke."
"Then, that's where we'll be heading."
The two continued their journey through the city district on their pursuit for the hovercraft. Unknown to them, they were being watched from a dark alley. Hideto the Sniper was revving up the engine on his metallic blue hover bike.
"Found you. Now, hopefully, my icy accomplice is out there at the destination we agreed to meet."
He started up his bike and took off in stealth mode after Max's rescuers. Whatever he mentioned about an 'icy' accomplice meant bad news for Keke and BW. Saitou had set up more traps to keep Taichi's allies at bay.
Back somewhere in N.W. Odaiba
After having fled from the apartment complex, Mimi and Izzy managed to get Tentomon, Palmon and Rei Saiba to safety. The computer literate grabbed his laptop and managed to contact Sora.
"They should be here by now," Mimi sighed as she waved herself. "This heat is getting to me."
"Thank you for saving me, fellas," Rei said while bowing to the digimon.
"It was nothing!" the digimon duo replied in unison.
"Ok, Sora and Birdramon should get here anytime now," Izzy informed the group. "I gave them our pinpoint location. It seems she has something important to tell us about Saitou."
"After what that maniac tried to do to us, why would I even want to hear more?" Mimi scoffed. "The nerve of that psycho! My daughter was in that apartment and probably…"
"She's not dead. Sora just told me through email that she and BW left."
"Oh that's good. As long as Keke is still breathing, I can breath easier."
"Hey, guys!" the voices of Shintomon and X cried out.
The group turned to find X, Shintomon and Dimitri running through some gates behind them. Izzy waves over the trio to let them know where they were stationed.
"Oh, good! There you guys are!" X cried out.
"It's good to know everyone here is in good hands," Shintomon sighed with relief.
"There's just on question needed to be answered? Why didn't Saitou just aim for Tai and instead blow up sections of that apartment?" wondered Palmon.
"He must have been after Rei Saiba," X pointed to the young girl. "Then again, if he can seek to kill his own accomplices as easily as this… Would someone whose personality is so meticulous that it borders on the hysterical allow himself to do something like that?"
"I'm sorry, everyone. This is my fault," Rei said. "If you guys didn't bring me into your home, Saitou would have never done this."
"No, Rei. This is no one's fault but Saitou's," Dimitri replied. "Don't go blaming yourself."
"Yeah, it's not a problem," Mimi giggled.
"I know, but I'm still apart of Saitou's cause…"
"Oh? You may think so, but is that what Saitou is thinking now?" X asked the girl. "Well? Any thoughts?"
Rei responded with a nod and sits down on a bench to let out a depressing sigh.
"You guys saved me… Me! I'm apart of the enemy and you saved me! What am I supposed to think about that?!"
"That is what it is like when people help each other," a woman's voice rang out.
The group turned around to find Sora and Biyomon walking through the gates. Sora steps forward and put a hand on Rei's shoulder. Giving her a friendly smile, the woman begins to speak to the depressed Rei Saiba.
"Really. It's best not to think too much about it," Sora said.
"Well, up to now, there hasn't been anyone around me who ever… not even my brother Neo… and that CD film!"
"You had the The Human Armageddon CD shown to you in order to brainwash your young and naive mind," replied X.
"No! It can't be!"
"I understand how confused you are, Rei. Only one unbearable aspect of humanity was shown to you. However, there are many people that are not like that."
"Thank you, Sora… I needed that."
Sora nodded and gives Rei a warm hug to help calm her down. Everyone else felt warmth in their hearts just seeing this occur.
"Oh, by the way, where the hell is Tai?!" X asked. "Him and Max to be precise."
"Not to mention Keke and BW," Dimitri continued on for the masked man.
"Um, I can explain," Biyomon replied.
Elsewhere away from Odaiba district
Omega X was following the path of the mysterious attacker. The warrior instantly powers up and catches up with his faster adversary. The figure calmly rocketed across the heavens and leaves a heat trail.
"This guy is emitting a very extreme temperature. It's like I'm getting closer to the sun or something. I'll have to be very careful with this one. If he's one of the seven monsters, then I will fight him and take back the digicore piece. I just hope everyone else is faring well. Max, you stay strong, son. I promise I'll get you out of this mess."
The creature looks behind to see Omega X catching up with him. A grin formed on his gargoyle-like chagrin.
"Yes, right this way, Taichi."
Many miles off from the Odaiba District. Highway road
Just many miles away from Odaiba district, a long highway road trailed out from the city itself into the outskirts. The roads were nearly empty and the forests just off the side of the road were peaceful. Suddenly, there was the loud humming of a hover unit traveling over the road at high speed. It was the same hovercraft harboring Mari, Sigma, Saitou and their hostage, Max.
They had just easily gone past a new hover unit Porsche 3000 model. The couple aboard was caught off guard.
"Ah! How could that have happened? That should been slower than my ride. No worries, babe. No one can outrace me!"
"Oh yeah! Well explain that!"
As they turned to the side of the road, they saw Keke and BW flying past them at top speed. The man's eyes nearly bulged out in utter disbelief.
"We just got passed by two people who could fly?!"
"Must have taken lessons? I hear Peter Pan's teaching this year," the woman sarcastically replied.
"I hate my life."
Keke looked up across and was picking up on the ki from Max. She concentrated harder to also read Saitou's enormous ki energy.
"Saitou! If you think you're getting everything your way, you're sorely mistaken! You bring us back Max this instant!"
Meanwhile, Mari was continuing her reckless driving over the highway below and nearly crashed into several rocky ledges in the process.
"You know real driving is actually different than driving at the arcade game!" Mari exclaimed.
"What?! You mean you don't even know how to drive, yet?!" Max hollered from the back.
"Of course not! I'm not at the driving age, plus I let the men do the driving for me!"
"Oh, don't worry. I'll tighten up that barrier on him. Besides, I want to heighten his ability quickly," Sigma sighed. "Crimson Barrier!"
Following his command, the red barrier's shell became harder and caused more shock to bolt through the interior. Max screamed out with each electric surge entering his body. He tried to resist it but he was running low on ki to protect himself.
"The more this kid suffers, the more his ability is raised," Sigma rambled on. "These type of fellows have that persistence about their natures, right?"
"It's already grating on my ears, Sigma. Cut it out," ordered Saitou.
The masked boy sighed and lowered the voltage within the barrier. Max let out a sigh and breathed heavily from the electric surge he had to endure. The pain was simply sheer and gruesome for Max to bear.
"Why don't you just kill me now?!" Max snapped while making eye contact with Saitou himself.
"I don't intend to kill you. You're going to join our cause," Saitou informed the Kamiya boy.
"Me join your side?! That's a joke! I'm laughing already!"
"Now that was rude of you, Max. You've had a certain ability awaken within you, you see. We need to have that ability."
"You may need it, but I won't have anything to do with it!"
"Your will has nothing to do with this. We're just going to have your ability join our side. The way we did to Vamdemon AKA Myotismon."
"Him?! But he's supposed to be dead! My dad and his friends whooped him years ago when my Aunt Kari was discovered as the eighth Digi-Destined!"
"Ah, he lived and hid within a human. After that, we found him and Sigma here ate him."
"WHAT?!"
"Surprised, aren't we?"
"You mean, this freaky kid with the mask ate Myotismon and obtained his abilities?"
"I wouldn't worry. You won't be eaten until your ability has become perfected."
"No way! I'm not giving into your demands, you bastard!"
Sigma put more power into his barrier and electrocuted Max once again from the inside. The boy let out an agonizing scream, which could be heard from a long distance.
"Oh yeah. I'd like to eat this noisy kid soon," Sigma said while licking his lips underneath his mask.
"Huh? What's this?" Mari noticed two auras flying behind them.
These powerful auras were coming from both BW and Keke. Sigma turns around and wondered who was following their path.
"Hang in there, Max! I'm here to save you!" Keke screamed out.
"Keke! Keke! Over here!"
"Saitou! We've found you!" the girl directed her attention to the former apprentice.
"Unbelievable! Those guys just won't quit," Sigma sighed. "What do we do now?"
"Don't worry. I've already taken measures," Saitou mused. "All we have to do is carry this kid with us."
"All right! Your asses park here or we're going to do more than put a dent to your crappy hovercraft!" BW threatened.
"Then, I'm taking you bastards to school," growled Keke while creating a ki ball in her hand.
"Who the heck do these guys think they are? Wish I could fly like that," Mari scoffed.
"Darn. At this rate, they're going to follow us all the way to the cave. What should we do, Mr. Saitou?"
"Look, I told you not to worry. Right, Sigma?"
Just as he said that, reinforcements had arrived at the right time. Strolling behind the duo was Hideto the Sniper on his hover bike. He looks up and gives a nod to a mysterious winged figure. The figure flies down and launches an ice beam at BW. The warrior immediately picked up on the upcoming attack and maneuvered away just in time.
"What the hell was that?!"
As BW was distracted, this gave Sniper time to launch a ki-coated ball towards Keke. He launched it with plenty of power and speed to it. It was enough to knock Keke off her trail and send her landing across the road.
"Direct hit," chuckled Hideto.
Keke rolled around the road until her clothes were torn up. She attempted one last reach for the hover unit but it was already rising towards a high altitude.
"NO! MAX!"
She was too late to save her best friend and watched as the hovercraft disappears into the distance. She looks behind her to find BW staring down the mysterious figure.
"BW! We lost them! Damn!"
"I know, but we've company."
"You can say that again! Who is that guy that just shot at you?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out. You can take the guy who shot at you."
"Oh, you bet I will. Just leave that biker with me."
"All right, then. I'm going to get to the bottom of this!"
With that said, BW powers up an aura and takes off after the winged accomplice. The gargoyle-like figure moves out across the distance at an incredible rate.
"Get back here!"
The two had disappeared into the distance, which left Keke alone. She stared across at the road to find Hideto the Sniper parking his hover bike.
"Bastard, you made me miss my chance to save the boy I love…"
Hideto puts his hand out and immediately spreads out his territory. The girl froze in place to notice four markings across her body.
"Huh? What the heck are these? Why you! What do think you're doing?!"
"You can no longer escape from me, little girl."
"What?"
Once again, the Sniper puts his other hand out and calls out a technique.
"Shimon juji-jan!"
"Death Crest Cross Spots?"
Keke noticed as four target marks formed on her arms, chest and stomach. These were obviously the target points Hideto was going to aim his weapons at.
"Great! Just what I needed! Some tattoos!"
"Those are targets, my friend."
"Duh, I can see that."
"No matter where you run, my attacks will not miss their targets. Want an example? Once I transfer my ki through these rocks and toss them up…"
Once Hideto threw four stones into the air, they immediately launched themselves at the targets on Keke. She quickly put up quick reflexes by catching all four stones. With that accomplished, she dropped the stones to the floor and noticed her hands bleeding.
"Very good. Now keep paying attention to your surroundings and stay on edge, like that."
"Bastard!"
"This is the name of the individual who killed you. Remember it well. Hideto Fujimoto AKA the Sniper. My territory covers at least 200 meters in radius or it could be even more if I put more concentration on my territory. When I use my ki to affix Shimon juji-jan spots to your body, I have the ability to shoot my targets with absolute certainty."
"Nice little detail, bit I'm in no mood to chat! I'm wasting you right here and now!"
"Whenever I feel like it, anything I want can come flying after you, aiming for you body. You can't even allow yourself to sleep any more. Enjoy living the rest of your life in fear."
As soon as he finished, Hideto pressed a button on his hover bike and quickly teleports from the area. Keke was left behind to become open target prey for anything Hideto has set for her.
"Get back here, you bastard! You won't stop me from rescuing Max!"
Back in an empty Suburb in N.W. Odaiba
Biyomon had just explained halfway through the reasoning why Saitou was aiming for Max as his latest captive. The Digi-Destined and the digimon, except Sora and Rei, were surprised what they heard.
"You mean that Saitou was after Max?" X asked. "But why him of all people?"
"He's someone necessary to their plans," answered Rei. "Max's ability to cut through dimensions was awakened when I tried to kill him. Mr. Saitou has been after someone with that ability for quite sometime now but nothing ever came up."
"What?! You mean that with Max's ability, they could even cut through the barrier field over the tunnel to the Dark Realm?"
"Ech, I don't even want to think about it," Palmon shuddered.
"Me either. I don't want to become Synister chow!" shrieked Tentomon.
"Yes. Once the tunnel to the Dark Realm is complete, then A-class Synisters, rare S-Class and even the rarer Super A-class could freely enter the human world, not to mention the entire Digital universe."
"We definitely can't leave this all up to Tai now, can we?" Shintomon sighed. "Of course not."
"We'll go after them too!" Sora said. "Besides, my son is held captive by that maniac! Oh, wait until I give Tai a piece of mind for walking out on me like that!"
"But that monster wouldn't let him stay any longer. He had to go. Besides, we can trust Keke into saving Max," replied Biyomon."
"You're right. I'm just overacting. It's a mother's instinct."
"Let's be sure to contact everyone else and ask them about their progress with finding the digicores," Shintomon said. "If Tai was after a monster, then I'm sure he would have defeated it to take another digicore piece. Those items are also essential to this mission."
"Izzy? Mimi? Can you two stay behind and take care of things here?" X asked. "You might want to stay behind too, Dimitri."
"No way. I'm coming along!"
"Dimitri! Your sister is out there and I'm sure she can take care of herself. Besides, BW is with her. So you stay out," Mimi said.
"Yes, mother…"
"Don't worry. We'll keep in touch with the other teams across the planet," Izzy replied. "I'll also keep in touch with the International Digi-Destined. They might want to help our cause, too."
"That's a good idea, Izzy. Please do so," Shintomon nodded.
"What… What about me? What should I do to help?" Rei Saiba asked.
"Choose the path you wish to follow," Sora replied to her question. "If you choose a path opposed to ours, then that's fine, too."
"But the next time we cross paths, we will be enemies," X warned Rei. "We'll show you no mercy."
"You should make up your own mind. You're an individual with rights," stated Biyomon.
"Would you let me walk the same path as you guys? Would you really?" Rei asked.
Sora reaches down and holds out a friendly hand gesture to Rei.
"Need a hand, Rei? I'm sure those injuries still hurt, right?"
"Yes."
As Sora lifted Rei back on her feet, the group gave a friendly gesture to the new addition to their team.
"Ok, everyone. Let's move out. There's no time to lose," Shintomon instructed the group.
Shinjuku. Local Cemetery/City District
There was panic erupting across the Shinjuku district after an immediate assault from the heartless Lichidramon. Saber Veemon and his allies watched in utter horror as buildings started to collapse from the extreme devastating left by Lichidramon's attacks. Yolei was saddened to the fact that the citizens had to suffer.
"No! This can't be!" Yolei cried. "We had that digicore! That heartless monster… Ken! You won't get away with this, monster!"
"You bastard! You've gone too far by using Ken's body and the digicore to help you destroy this city and the cemetery!" Saber Veemon screamed out defiantly.
"Ha, there's nothing you can do to me, Lichidramon, as long as hold your friend within me. He and the digicore shall provide me the necessary power to waste this human trash heap!"
(Lichidramon. Type: Demon Dragon Digimon. Level: Mega. Special Attacks: Hades Atomic Blast & Inferno Eruption)
Lichidramon immediately lashes out his skeletal tail directly towards the warriors, in hopes of incapacitating them. Saber Veemon warned every digimon around him to move around to avoid getting stabbed by the dragon's tail. Sonja was forced to defend Aquillamon and Andromon from each tail whip. Beelzebumon had to fly around in diagonal circles to avoid the tail whips. Even Saber Veemon was barely managing his hold by each tail lash.
Lichidramon set his sights directly on Saber Veemon and throws out his claws at a rapid pace.
"Davis! Look out!" Yolei and Sonja screamed.
Saber Veemon put up his sword and arms to protect himself from each blow. Even his speed wasn't helpful in this predicament.
"C'mon, Davis! A battle where the opponent doesn't fight back is extremely dull!" Lichidramon mocked the warrior. "Say, I've got an idea. I'll bring out the fight out of you."
With that said, the skeleton dragon demon throws out a fist and smashes through a building occupied by people. The screaming civilians were near death's doors in the process by the tumbling debris. Saber Veemon angrily cries out once he saw the horrifying sight of people just seconds from certain death. The warrior flies out to snatch up the few remaining people from the collapsing building in time. He sets them off a safe distance.
"That was touching, Davis. How about you start fighting back already?"
The monster lets out a malicious laugh, which did not humor Saber Veemon the least bit. Deep within the heartless monster was the corpse of Ken Ichijouji. Several tentacles had tied him up and crucified his dead form.
"This is too horrible! We have to help David's dad!" Sam cried out.
"No! I'm not about to lose you either to that monster!" Yolei snapped.
"Just let us go! Otherwise, my dad's a goner!" David said.
"Just listen to yourselves! That guy is a freaking giant! Besides, don't you lose hope in your dad, kid," Kazu replied. "He'll find a way through this."
"I hope so. C'mon, father!"
"Necromon. Lichidramon. Who ever the hell you are… You pushed this too far when you absorbed Ken's body!" Saber Veemon growled ferociously.
"Ah, what's the matter? Not even you, an exalted fusion warrior, can destroy your dearest friend's body? He's dead already. It shouldn't matter to you!"
"Damn! How can this be happening? He's probably taken all of Ken's memories and is planning to use that to his advantage."
"What's wrong, Daisuke?! Come and get it! Kill me and destroy the body of the once cruel Digimon Kaiser!"
"You're pissing me off! Shut up! Don't you ever associate the Kaiser with Ken! He's changed since then!"
"The one who created the Dark Towers? The same structures that rendered your digimon powerless for the time being? The same Kaiser who used rings to enslave the Digi-Destined? Remember, the Kaiser put you through so much pain."
"But, that's not the true Ken Ichijouji! You might obtain his memories now but you'll never know the true Ken!"
"Hmph… Fine. There's no use in talking to you. I'm just going to kill you right here and now."
With that said, the skeletal demon dragon cupped his hands together to gather a large amount of negative ki energy. Saber Veemon saw this through and quickly remembered that this was the same position Omega X poses before unleashing his Terra Beam.
"Hey! He's about to prepare a Terra Beam! Tai's own attack!" screamed Aquillamon.
"Oh dear! This isn't going to do us any favors!" griped Andromon.
"No, it's not the Terra Beam," Beelzebumon informed them. "No way a Terra Beam would emit such negative energy. That arrogant Davis better get his behind out of the way."
"If you think this is Taichi's Terra Beam, then you are sadly mistaken, Daisuke," laughed Lichidramon. "HADES… ATOMIC…"
"Oh crap!" Saber Veemon cried out.
"BLAST!"
The demon releases a massive energy ball out through his hands. The enormous attack was sent directly towards Saber Veemon, who immediately dodged. He looks on as the blast slammed through numerous buildings and destroyed nearly several city blocks in the process. Saber Veemon was horrified to realize to hear the agonizing cries of the civilians.
"I just let those lives go to waste because of myself wanting to rescue Ken's body. A corpse to be precise! How can I live with myself?!"
Suddenly, Saber Veemon was unaware that Lichidramon had phased behind him. He was sickened when he heard the beast chuckling.
"Where are you looking at?" Lichidramon taunted the warrior.
"You bastard… Those were living people you just killed!"
"Ha! Yes, I know! Isn't it great?! I'm sure the Kaiser must be enjoying this as we speak! Ha!"
"SHUT UP!"
"But the fun is just beginning! Inferno Eruption!"
Lichidramon's mouth widened and unleashes an array of fire blasts across the many sections of the Shinjuku district.
"It's a good thing we warned Yamaki and his crew to evacuate with their equipment to their secret underground hideout. But, damn! I wasn't expecting this monster to go crazy over this!"
More people fled out before the blasts had destroyed the city blocks. The once peaceful city of Shinjuku was in a deep crisis and left a devastated mess from Lichidramon's assault.
"Yes! Now this is what I call fun! Just listen to those human insects screaming in fear! I love it!" Lichidramon cackled like a madman possessed.
"Damn! That's enough!" Sonja screamed. "Davis! Attack him now! Or I'm stepping in!"
"Please, I just don't want to see anymore people die!" cried Yolei. "We can't even save them since the digicores are gone!"
"C'mon, Daisuke! What's wrong? Do you want my digicore?" the beast snickered. "Well, come and get it!"
Saber Veemon turned his head around and his eyes became possessed with hatred. He was no longer the cocky, arrogant Digi-Destined he used to be. No more fun and games for Davis.
"I've seen enough of this, Lichidramon! First you disturb the dead, then you try to use my son as apart of your sick operations, then you absorb my friend's body and now this?! You kill the helpless?! I've grown sick of this crap! Necromon, Lichidramon! I don't care who you are! You're dead to me!"
"Davis!" Wormmon calls out. "At this rate, the whole city is going to be a wasteland!"
"Wormmon?"
"Please, don't concern yourself with Ken. Ken would want you to destroy this monster and regain that digicore. He wouldn't want you in despair like this."
"Attack him, Davis! Wormmon's right about Ken! We can eventually save him!" Yolei cried out. "When we gather the digicores, we'll bring him back."
"What if we don't and fail?"
"Yes! Keep thinking those negative thoughts, Daisuke! I'm sure Kenny would want you in despair! Remember, I have his memories. You're inferior to the great Ichijouji!"
As Lichidramon ranted on, he unleashes more of his Inferno Eruption to cause more destruction across the city.
"This is just great! No way to stand in my way! The great Daisuke Motomiya and Veemon have let their loved one down! Ha! Ha!"
"Davis! Attack him!" Wormmon screamed.
With the beast continuing his destrucive path, Saber Veemon looks back to the fond memories of himself with Ken. He remembered the first time he met Ken Ichijouji.
Flashback
Flamedramon walked over to the three fallen dark-ringed digimon as he chuckled.
"So is this the best that the Digimon Kaiser has to offer? What a joke, I wish I could the look on his face while he sees you three scream like the punks that you are."
They looked up at Flamedramon as their eyes were glowing a blood-shot red.
"C'mon, I'm right here, give me your best shot. Look at me. My back is turned. How's that?"
Flamedramon turns around and the three warriors decide to attack him from behind. Snimon goes to slash at hit but Flamedramon ducks under and knees him in the gut. Apemon goes to punch him in the face but Flamedramon catches his hand and kicks him right in the face. Fuugamon swings his club but receives an uppercut right in the face. Flamedramon then pulls back his fists and shoots out a fireball blast at Fuugamon.
"Pitiful. If only the Kaiser was here right now, I would love to see the look on his face."
"Oh is that so?" a voice shouted out.
"Hey who was that?" Davis said.
When they both turned around, they saw the Digimon Kaiser standing on a cliff looking down at the dynamic duo.
"So are you the Digimon Kaiser?"
"Yep, in the flesh."
"But you're a kid just like me."
"I'm nothing like you. So I see this is your digimon. Flamedramon, I'm rather impressed with your tenacity."
"Then, there was that time…"
"I can't believe that I got beat by the same person in one day."
"What do you mean same day? Hey! How did you get that cut on your leg?!"
Davis looked down at the Kaiser's leg and it was wrapped with a bandage. Then he just realized something and he couldn't believe. He let out a gasp and looked up to face the Kaiser straight in his eyes.
"No! You couldn't be… You couldn't…"
"I could and I am!"
The Kaiser takes off his goggle shades and reveals himself. An evil smirk came over his face and his eyes were glowing a dark color. This was a full indication that he was truly evil.
"Ken Ichijouji?! No way!"
"Well farewell for now, my worthy adversary. Digi-Destined time to go!"
A large dragon came flying by as the Kaiser hopped onto his back. Then the dragon went to pick up the four possessed Digi-Destined.
"I can't believe it," Kari gasped.
"Ken is the Digimon Kaiser! Why that no good…" Cody growled.
"Ugh. No way! Shoot! I wanted his autograph!" Yolei scoffed.
Davis looked up and fire was fueling in his eyes. He clenched his fists and stomped his foot down.
"So, you want to mess with us?! Oh, don't worry! I'm already your worthy adversary! Just you wait till what I do to you!"
"Of course, how could I forget that day? Or what about the time he unleashed Kimeramon?"
"Ha! I told you! My monster is much too powerful for even your weakling digimon to defeat! I suggest surrender!"
"No way! Not in a million years!" Davis cried out.
"Well. I suppose Kimeramon can finish them quickly. Kimeramon! Finish them off now!"
"No! Call him off, Ken," Davis cried out.
"My name is the Digimon Kaiser! And you can't control my pet! Kimeramon has been created to take orders from myself only."
"Please Ken! Don't do this!" Yolei said, "I beg of you! I know you wouldn't try to kill us like this! Deep down, I know you wouldn't hurt a fly. We know for a fact that you don't fully understand what the Digital World is really like!"
"That's right! Its not a place where you can play your sick experiments on innocent creatures," Cody said, "You better realize what you have done."
Suddenly, the Kaiser gasped and thoughts were replaying through his mind. All of those innocent digimon were being enslaved for no apparent reason. The Kaiser shook those thoughts away and smiled.
"Ha! Don't think that talking me out of my dreams of conquering this world will change my mind! I don't care what happens to the Digital World. As long as I realize my dream as ruler of two worlds, then I shall stop this madness. But for now, I will not stop and I will see to it that you nosey kids are out of my hair forever! Kimeramon put them out of their miseries!"
Kimeramon cried out and turned to face the Kaiser. The Kaiser gasped in fear and watched as Kimeramon was walking towards him.
"Kimeramon! What are you doing?! I said them not me!"
The three Digi-Destined couldn't believe what they are seeing. Now Kimeramon seemed to have turned on his own creator.
"Kimeramon! Kill the Digi-Destined! Not me!"
"Ha! Looks like even your own creation has turned on you," Davis said, "I pity you, Ken. I expected you to have control on your monster but you can't seem to have control of yourself."
The Kaiser watched on in fear as his own creation was walking towards him with a death glare in his eyes.
"No! I specifically told Izzy to construct him properly! This must be some sort of miscalculation! Grr! I can't believe this is happening! I have to do everything myself!"
"Having trouble getting your pet monster under control, Ken?" said a voice.
The Kaiser turned to face Shadramon. The armored insect was chuckling to himself.
"And what are you laughing about?!"
"Simple. You don't seem to have your own monster under control. I could have done a much better job with my technological mind, but you? You had to rely on those pathetic human slaves to get the job done for you. I always knew you were a failure. Now step aside! I'll take it from here and I'll be the one who puts an end to the Digi-Destined once and for all!"
"Nonsense! They're mine, even if my own monster has turned on me!"
"Be silent! I'll take it from here!"
Shadramon shoots out a blast and sends the Kaiser flying back.
"Then came the emergence of the golden radiance."
Suddenly, the black object began to glow a golden color. Powerful beams of light came penetrating through the black coverings and Davis held it up for all to see. The black object now transformed into a shining golden object of some form of purity.
"That must be the golden digimental, which Wizardmon was referring to," Kari said.
"Yeah and now Davis seems to be in control of them," replied TK.
"Alright! This is it! Maybe I can use this to digivolve Veemon!"
Flamedramon de-evolved back to Veemon. Davis noticed that the object was giving up a radiant glow. Then, he saw his two digimentals shooting out light from the symbols of courage and friendship.
"Are you up for it, buddy?!"
"You bet! I'm ready! Let it rift!"
"Golden Digimental up!"
"Veemon golden armor shinka!"
A golden ray of light covered Veemon as his body was transforming into a more warrior-like stance. His body was now covered in golden plates of armor. He turns to face the others.
"Magnamon!"
"With Magnamon, we overcame Kimeramon and saved Ken from the darkness."
"Magna Explosion!"
Magnamon's body released a large amount of wave energy and sent it straight for Kimeramon. Kimeramon could only look on in horror as he saw the energy wave go straight through him. His body started to shatter away into small pieces of data. Then an explosion occurred and the once seemingly indestructible monster was now put to rest once and for all.
"All right! We did it!" Davis cried out.
The Digi-Destined cheered happily as they claimed yet another victory. The Kaiser was quite relieved as he looked up to Stingmon.
Magnamon completed his mission and de-digivolved back to Demiveemon. He jumped into Davis' arms happily.
"You were awesome!"
"I try!"
Stingmon flew over to Ken and de-digivolved back to Wormmon. Ken caught Wormmon in his arms and a smile came over his face. Not an evil smirk but a happy smile.
"Ken. You're back to the way you were. I knew you would come back."
But suddenly, Ken started to look down and his smile disappeared.
"No. I can never forgive myself. I was responsible for causing destruction upon the Digital World. I still have to think this over."
The other Digi-Destined gathered around him.
"You still did terrible things as the Kaiser," Davis said, "But you finally realized that you were just used for Shadramon's evil doings."
"The important thing is that you learned of what you have been doing," Kari said.
"Ken. We would ask for you to join us. You would make a great addition to the team," replied TK.
Ken nodded his head. He took off his goggle glasses and his cape. His suit started to slowly fade away. And his spiky hair became normal again. His lifeless, cold eyes reverted to their normal, teary kind.
"I need some time to think this over. I still can't forgive myself for what I have done," Ken said.
He picks up Wormmon and looks at his base. He sighed sadly and started to walk off.
"Ken! Please, don't walk away from your problems," Davis said, "Let us help you."
Ken continued walking off.
"He needs to think this over. Ken claims that he can't forgive himself. Give him some time," Yolei said, "He has done many terrible things as the Kaiser but he never knew that he was used as a pawn in Shadramon's sick and twisted games."
"Lets jus hope he decides to come onto our side," replied Davis, "He would make a great addition to the team."
"Like Yolei said, give him some time," Izzy said.
"If he needs to think this over, then let him," Mimi replied, "He's had a lot of problems and needs to revise his troubles. Maybe something happened in his life that we're no aware of."
They all watched as Ken disappeared into the horizon as the sun was beginning to rise once again from a long dark night.
"Eventually you did some to our side. You became a Digi-Destined and the holder of the Crest of Kindness. I hold the Crest of Nobility, which was given to me by Lady Moinanea. If only there was a way to save you without the digicores."
End of flashback
Saber Veemon hands clenched tightly and he was starting to become frustrated over Lichidramon's cowardly antics.
"Ken! Whatever it takes, I'm going to kill this monster and save your body. That I can promise you, Ken! I've gone beyond what I can tolerate!"
With those memories lingering in his mind, Saber Veemon's body started to convulse violently and become surrounded by a golden aura. He immediately raises his power ki and became enveloped by a bright aura flash.
"Saber Veemon upgrade shinka!"
Everyone else watched as Saber Veemon was about to undergo his transformation into Ultima X. Sonja cries out happily in encouragement.
"Yeah! Do it, Davis!" Yolei cheered. "Isn't this great, Wormmon?"
"You can do it, Davis!"
"It's about time you went all out, Daisuke," grumbled Lichidramon. "Show me what you can do. Is this the power used to defeat the Super Artificial?!"
Once the light dispersed, a cloud of smoke surrounded Ultima X's form. He eventually became exposed for all to see.
"Ultima X… Ah, there. You happy now?"
Lichidramon responded with a loud cackle, which didn't make Ultima X any happier.
"What do you think you can accomplish while in your upgraded form, huh?! I'm still harboring Ichijouji and you can't…"
"Shut your damn mouth!"
"Ha! There's no way you can attack me and destroy your own-"
Just before Lichidramon could even finish his sentence, Ultima X delivers a kick across the beast's right cheek. The force was enough to send Lichidramon reeling through an empty building due for demolition. Everyone cheered on for the warrior, but Lichidramon was deeply disturbed by his sudden actions.
"Impossible… But why?"
"When I ascend to this form, there's this teensy little part of my rationality that dashes away. Just ask Omega X and the many other fusion warriors, at least the ones who reach higher levels."
With another kick delivered to Lichidramon, the beast is sent rolling back. Ultima X grabs Lichidramon by his tail as he prepares to hurl him across the city.
"Once I get like this, I don't know what becomes of me. Besides, you're the one who asked for this, monster!"
"No! Let go!"
"I'm going to make you thoroughly regret that!"
With a loud battle cry, Ultima X tosses Lichidramon effortlessly across a pile of fallen debris. The beast landed straight on the back of his head and grumbled ferociously. Lichidramon sits up while shaking the cobwebs out.
"What's the deal with this guy?! Are you seriously aiming to destroy me along with Ken's body?!"
Ultima X didn't answer his question and slowly floated across towards the skeletal demon.
"Aren't you even afraid that his body will be reduced to ashes?! Your dearest friend, Ken?!"
"Watch yourself, asshole, or I'll settle this all at once!"
"Damn! Just how far does your fusion warrior foolishness go?!"
Lichidramon shot his right hand forward and goes to stab his claws through Ultima X. The warrior easily saw this through and caught his clawed hand in time.
"You're going for another ride, Lichidramon."
Ultima X took Lichidramon by his claws and hurls him across the streets. The beast landed hard on his back and caused a deep impact into the ground. The noble warrior lands on a pile of debris and sets up his finishing blow towards Lichidramon.
"This is it for you. I'm taking back the digicore and Ken's body."
With Ultima X cupping his hands to release his Ultima Blast, Lichidramon shot up from the ground and begs off to his adversary.
"NO! STOP! You'll not only kill me but destroy Ken's body! Don't you even care?!"
However, Ultima X played a foul tactic and phases out from the beast's sight. He reappears over Lichidramon and deliver yet another kick to send Lichidramon flat on his back.
"So? What happened to all of your bravado just earlier?"
"Way to nail it to that creep!" Yolei cheered on the warrior. "Just waste him and we'll get the digicore back. I'm sure Ken would rather want to be restored with all digicores together."
"You said. Now finish him already!" Sonja warned Ultima X.
Suddenly, just before Ultima X made his next move, a deep laughter was coming from out of Lichidramon's mouth. The beast sat up and nodded his head.
"Oh, Daisuke. Sure enough. You aren't being serious," the beast mused.
"Oh? Just what the heck are you talking about?"
"No matter how cold hearted a front you put on, you still cannot hope to defeat me."
"Not true, Lichidramon. I'm seriously planning to waste you."
"Is that so? Then why don't you hit me with your Ultima Blast?"
Suddenly, Ultima X was immediately caught red-handed as the beast saw through his strategy. He had hoped to reserve the attack for last but was really holding back since Ken's body was at stake.
"If you seriously mean business, you could probably hit me with one massive Ultima Blast, and blow me away clean. You didn't hesitate when you used it on Jax. Surely you won't hold back on me!"
"C'mon, Davis! Do it!" Aquillamon calls out to the warrior.
"Don't you go holding back on this bastard!" Beelzebumon growled. "I was fortunate to get Ai and Mako along with their family out of here before this whole mess."
"Oh, that mean ol' dragon is not playing nice," Calumon sighed sadly.
"Am I right, Daisuke?" Lichidramon asked. "Well?"
Lichidramon stepped forward and put his face in front of Ultima X in a taunting manner.
"The Ultima Blast is your best technique, eight? It puts even the Positron Laser and Giga Death all to shame! Well? I'm waiting for an answer."
"Go ahead and shoot him, Ultima X!" Wormmon exclaimed.
The warrior shifted his focus towards Wormmon and his friends. They were encouraging him to deliver the finishing blow since they understood that Ken would soon be resurrected when all digicores are reunited.
"Don't let this guy get so cocky!" screamed Yolei. "Put his damn lights out!"
"But, Ken…"
"Davis! I really hate to be the wife of a coward who won't listen to the wishes of his friends, including his deceased ones. I'm sure Ken would want it this way. You have no choice!"
"Sonja, I…"
"Damn, I know… All right. Sorry about this Ken… I hope you'll forgive me."
Ultima X put his hands out and prepared to deliver his ultimate technique on the cackling beast.
"Do it, if you can!"
"SUPER-"
"That's enough of your clumsy charade! There's no way you could- OH SHIT!"
"ULTIMA-"
"No, there's no way!"
A red sphere of ki energy materialized around Ultima X's cupped hands. He aims towards Lichidramon, more specifically for his chest.
"I'm not about to let this city or any other civilization get smashed over someone as worthless as you!"
"ACK! He's serious!"
"BLAST!"
The warrior launched his ultimate attack as a massive red blast engulfed the skeletal dragon. The blast covered a large portion of the city district and resulted in a cataclysmic explosion. Sonja and Beezlebumon protected the group from the incoming debris.
"That's the way, Davis!" Yolei screamed. "It's about time you shut his mouth!"
"This is over. There's no way he can survive this!" Kenta exclaimed.
"Pi! Pi!"
With the red light dispersing and the smoke clearing, Ultima X kneeled over a ledge to catch his breath. He was saddened with grief over the difficult decision he had to make. Lichidramon was reduced to dust but in the process, Ken's body was lost forever.
"No… Ken. I'm sorry. I'm sorry it had to come down to this. I'll never forgive myself for this…"
However, his fears were heightened as the smoke cleared. The skeletal beast was still intact and laying on the ground. Ultima X looks on with utter disbelief.
"No!"
Lichidramon sits up but yet his body was heavily bruised and damaged from this adversary's attack. The group moaned in disbelief.
"No! That should have killed him!" David growled. "My dad couldn't put him down with his best attack?!"
"The same attack that destroyed my brother," Sonja said. "Davis was holding back. Lichidramon would have been gone after that."
"Oh, Davis! What is going on in that head of yours?!" Yolei snapped. "Since when did you become such a pansy?!"
"But, why?! You should have been gone after that attack! That was my best one yet!" Ultima X exclaimed across the battlefield. "There's no way you can be alive!"
"Daisuke Motomiya, you must be so worried about Ken's corpse that unconsciously, you were incapable of using your full power!"
"It couldn't be! I was at full power! Are you blind?!"
"Then why am I still here? Eh?"
Ultima X's expression was flawless. His eyes and mouth widened in shock over what Lichidramon had just said to him.
"As a matter of fact, that wasn't even a Super Ultima Blast to begin with. Too bad, Daisuke. You've already lost."
"You're full of crap, Lichidramon!"
With another battle cry, Ultima X flew towards the towering beast and attempts a head-on attack. But, Lichidramon saw this coming and easily backhanded the warrior into a building wall. He proceeds to slam a hand against the downed Ultima X.
"No! Father!" David cried out. "I'm sorry, but I can't hold myself back any longer!"
The boy quickly flies out into the open and goes to save his father from certain doom. Sonja takes off after him.
"David! You get back here this instant!" ordered Sonja.
"Oh no! This isn't looking good!" Kazu panicked. "Just when we had that creep!"
"We're dead meat," muttered Kenta.
"Ha! Your defeat is assured, just from the difference in how much our hearts are in this!" laughed Lichidramon.
The skeletal beast pushes Ultima X through the wall with little effort. He finds himself buried under debris and managed to move away once Lichidramon stomped across. Ultima X phased away from each foot stomp.
"Come on. Come on. What's wrong with you?! Come and get me!"
"Father! Stand and fight!" David called out to the warrior.
"No! David! Get away from here!" Ultima X cried out. "Sonja! Get him out here! This is no place for you two to be!"
The beast slashes his claws at Ultima X, while inflicting cuts over his chest. Ultima X was just about out of it and looked ahead to see Lichidramon preparing another Hades Atomic Blast.
"Augh!"
The powerful blast caught Ultima X head-on and sends him sailing across onto a rooftop. Sonja grabbed David and moved out to where her husband was left laying.
"Father!"
"Davis! Veemon!"
David runs over to his fallen father and rests his head on his lap.
"Father! Wake up!"
"Davis!" Sonja cried out. "Don't you die on us or I'll kill you myself!"
As Lichidramon approached the rooftop, the artificial woman turned to face the beast.
"No! Get out of there!" Yolei screamed.
"That's it! I'm going in! Andromon! Let's move!" Beelzebumon exclaimed.
"I'm on it!"
"Father, please wake up…"
Ultima X quickly opened his eyes but he was unable to mvoe his battered body. It that mattered to David was the fact that his father was still conscious.
"David. Sonja. Thank goodness you two came."
"We'd never leave you, dad."
"This is the first time in my life that my body and my heart have been so pained," sighed Ultima X. "Ken, I'm sorry…"
"Ha! How ironic, that not even you could win against your own friend," Lichidramon said. "But, it's only human. So that's fine."
"Shut your hole, you bastard!' Sonja defiantly cried out. "You don't know human emotions!"
With that said, she flies out at the beast and delivers a kick to his face. Having been adapted from Ultima X's kicks, this one didn't damage Lichidramon. He merely laughed it off and swatted her away with his hand.
"No! Mother!" David cries out.
However, Sonja managed to regain her senses and leaped off from a ledge. She kept Lichidramon at bay with an array of energy shots.
"You used my friend's body long enough! Now you're going to die!" she screamed.
"Hey! Coming your way, lady!" Beelzebumon warned the artificial woman.
The winged demon sets his blaster towards Lichidramon and fires off a massive shot.
"Chaos Flare!"
"Allow me to intervene! Gattling Attack!"
Andromon's missiles struck Lichidramon at the sametime Beelzebumon shot out his best bet. Unfortunately, Lichidramon was unscathed from their team efforts.
"Was that even worth a damn?!" Lichidramon laughed. "Allow me to repay the favor!"
As soon as he said that, another large army of skeletons emerged from the ground to attack the digimon duo. Sonja flew out to continue her assault but was stopped by surfaced wall of bones. Even as she shot a blast through, another skeleton wall came up.
"I still inherit my ability to raise dead with my necromancy. So, that should keep you insects at bay."
"Aquillamon! You should go out there and give them a hand!"
"Right! I'm on it!"
The winged eagle digimon set off across the battlefield to lend Sonja a helping hand with the bone walls. Meanwhile, Lichidramon approached the rooftop with Ultima X still lying down. David held his father close and prepared to defend his helpless father at any given opportunity.
"Now where were we? Oh yes. What's wrong, Daisuke? Aren't you going to give it one more go? Hmmm?"
"I hate to say it, but my body and heart are too worn out," sighed Ultima X.
"No, dad! You can't give up to this loser! You just can't!"
The beast merely laughed off at how pathetic Ultima X was at the very moment.
"Why do you acknowledge defeat to this guy, Davis?! I'm sure Ken would ask the same thing!"
As soon as Wormmon's words struck Ultima X, the warrior gasped and looked back to the time Ken had joined the Digi-Destined just before Burizalor was about to invade the Earth many years ago.
Flashback
"Ken?! Hey! You made it! Are you here to help us out," asked Davis.
"We're so glad that you came," Yolei said.
"Well I just came here to lend you a hand against this approaching darkness. And I also want to put our differences aside just for this once. You guys really don't have to apologize to me."
"No. Ken. We forgive you," Davis said, "You can trust us. We won't stab you in the back. You're a Digi-Destined like us. You decided to change and I respect you for that."
"I don't know about this. Does he really mean what he's saying? Has he changed? He's still the same Kaiser in my view,"Cody said.
"Thank you, Davis."
"Well, I say he should be on our side," a voice called out from above.
The Digi-Destined all looked up to see Leomon. He was smiling and jumped down towards the children.
"Ken. You were used as Shadramon's puppet. I forgive you for everything that you have done and you're cleaning up the mistakes that you have created," Leomon stated.
End of flashback
"I was the one who allowed Ken to join the team. When everyone else had their doubts, I was more than happy to let him join. I don't ever regret making that decision."
"Well, Daisuke. This is where it all ends! Now you can join the Kaiser in hell!"
Just as Lichidramon was preparing to deliver the final blow, he froze in place and his face contorted with pain. David and Ultima X wondered what could be wrong with the beast. Lichidramon screamed out in pain while thrashing about.
"What's happening to me?! My inner body feels like something is burning inside! The pain! It hurts! ARGH!"
Everyone looked across at the monster to see a golden column of light emerge from out of his mouth. His eyes started to shoot out a golden radiance.
"Look at that! It's a golden light!" Sam pointed out the obvious. "Does this have anything to do with my dad?!"
"Ken, is that really you in there?" Yolei hoped.
Lichidramon felt his stomach rip open as more golden light was released. To everyone's surprise, Ken's corpse emerged from out of the monster's belly. Along with the body was a golden object. It floated across to where Ultima X was laying. The warrior looked up to find what he never thought he would see again. It was Ken, well his spirit. No one could see it but Ultima X.
"Ken?! Is that you?!"
"Yes, Davis. It's me."
"Ken, it's good to see you again, my friend. I thought I'd never see you again."
"Thank you for taking care of my family, Wormmon and not to mention my body. You guys are going through so much just to restore me. I understand that some monster calling himself Millenniumon has tainted the digicores with evil to produce these seven monsters. Davis. So far, you have defeated three and Lichidramon just may very well be the next. But the next three will prove to be even more difficult to overcome. Be warned."
"Ken, thanks for the warning."
"No problem."
"It's my fault you were killed by Jax. I wasn't there to be with you guys."
"It's understood. You had to save the planet from the ongoing invasion. You have no fault or say in it. What's done is done. But I know you will revive me once all the digicores are restored."
"What do you know about this Millenniumon?"
"I'm not sure, but I've had a talk with Ryo about it. You might want to ask him. All I know is that this monster is seeking Armageddon on this very world."
"Yeah and he's allied himself with some whacked out human named Saitou."
"Be careful, Davis. Those two will be very lethal, especially this Saitou character. As a final gift of our friendship, I give you the golden digimental of miracles."
"Miracles?"
"Yes. The golden digimental of miracles helped Veemon evolve into Magnamon. It will be an upgrade to Ultima X. Accept this gift to vanquish this heartless monster."
"I will. Arigato, Ken."
The golden digimental appeared in Ultima X's grasp. He sits up and absorbs the golden object through his body. David and everyone look on with astonishment at the beauty from the golden radiance. Lichidramon felt his body shrinking back down to his previous form.
"No! What is this?!" Lichidramon screeched.
"Lichidramon! This is the end for you! Golden Digimental Up!"
The warrior immediately became enveloped in a golden aura and infused with the object. Ultima X watched as his armored body became purely golden. He even sported a golden aura to add to his new appearance.
"Wow! Incredible! Now that's wicked!" David praised his father's new appearance.
"Lichidramon's weakening. He stands no chance against Davis anymore," Sonja said. "He's all yours."
Lichidramon quickly dedigivolved back into Necromon. The vampiric wizard looked around to find that his skeleton soldiers were reduced to dust from Ultima X's golden radiance. He gasped to find himself surrounded by the digimon. Necromon was even more shocked once laying his eyes upon the new golden Ultima X. The warrior's power was restored back to full power in the process. What everyone also noticed was Ken's body being carried by Ultima X. He sets Ken's body down.
"Ken, I won't let this power go waste."
"No, it can't be! Your power is fully restored!" Necromon hissed. "But how?! That damn Ichijouji is responsible for this! I should have destroyed his body and used his spirit against you!"
"I take it Necromon is your only true form?"
"Yeah! So what?!"
"Because of you, I came this close to losing my son, my best friend's body and even this whole city," Ultima X growled. "Other than my family, Ken is the most precious to me. He is like a brother I never had."
Necromon panicked and tried moving around, but he found himself surrounded by Beezlebumon, Andromon, Sonja and Aquillamon.
"You tell him, Davis!" Wormmon cried out.
"Curses! Isn't there anyone anywhere that I can possess?!" wondered Necromon.
Suddenly, he looked over to find Calumon and licked his lips. He takes off towards the other side to snatch Calumon.
"No! He's coming this way!" Kazu and Kenta panicked.
Sonja quickly phased in front of him and kicked him away from the tiny digimon. The vampire digimon rolled across the ground to see Ultima X levitating down.
"After all the rampaging you did, there isn't a man or a child around here anywhere. Besides, my friends and family are well protected. So don't even try possessing them. Now, it's time to atone for your sins."
"That won't happen!" Necromon hissed.
"Well, that's too bad."
"Under these circumstances, anything will do! A bird, a dog, or even a cockroach!"
"What's the matter, Necromon? You just lost all of your courage and your vest. You were bold before, but I guess you're just too scared to be yourself."
Suddenly, Necromon caught glimpse of a hawk flying over the skies. He flies off to where the hawk was soaring across. Ultima X merely nodded his head in shame.
"This bird is not much but anything is worth it!"
"Ugh. Just give it up, Necromon. Even your necromancy magic has lost their luster."
Before Necromon had a chance to capture the bird, Ultima X reappears in front of him to protect the hawk. The hawk managed to make a get away. The vampire digimon grunted angrily.
"Necromon. You have zero respect for the dead and the living. As someone who doesn't even use their own power to fight their battles, I wouldn't think the slightest bit about killing you. You also have no intention of changing. You're just going to cause more pain to others."
"Shut up! This is how I accomplish my tasks! Even if I have to use the living and the dead to my advantage, you have no right to be critical of me! Inferno Scream!"
As a final desperate act, Necromon fires off a shot of his attack at Ultima X. Unfortunately, this did not suite well for Necromon. The attack did no damage to Ultima X.
"Nice try," Ultima X said with a grin. "Sure enough, I'm not reluctant at all."
Without even blinking an eye, Ultima X slams his fist into Necromon's stomach. The vampire felt the wind knocked right out of him.
"Augh! Curse you…"
"That's it, Necromon! No more killing! That was for my son, David!"
Ultima X followed it up with a knee into Necromon's chin.
"That's for all the people you have maimed and killed of this city! How does it feel?! Now you know how your victims felt when you ended their lives!"
The warrior wasn't finished from there and continuously threw out rapid fists all across Necromon's battered form. Each punch made their mark on the vampire. He delivers a final uppercut to send Necromon sailing across the heavens. Ultima X put his hands together to form a massive energy ball.
"And this one's for Ken Ichijouji! SUPER ULTIMA BLAST!"
As the blast came closer, Necromon regained his senses and screamed out in horror. He finally became engulfed by the blast and was reduced into a cloud of data.
"At last, it's over. Thank you, Ken."
"Yeah! My dad did it!" David celebrated. "Way to go, dad!"
"Thank goodness," sighed Yolei. "It's over."
"I'm proud of you, Davis," Sonja whispered. "Ken would be happy to see this."
"Now we have Ken's body and a piece of the digicore," Wormmon said. "But we can't celebrate after the destruction caused by Lichidramon."
Once Necromon's data dispersed, a half piece of a digicore came falling down. Ultima X caught in just in time. He looked across at the city and sighs sadly.
"Even though many people fled, we couldn't save the ones left behind. I just hope the digicores can restore the destruction left behind."
"Way to go, Davis! You rock, man!" Kazu cheered.
"I wish I were like him," said Kenta. "What do you think, Marine Angemon?"
"Pi! Pi!"
"Yay! Everyone's happy!" Calumon giggled.
Ultima X gave the digicore piece to Yolei and flies over to the rooftop to hoist Ken around his arms.
"We've captured the fourth digicore. All we need are three more and we'll be set to go," Yolei mused.
"I have a question. Just how did you gain this form? You look so much better gold," Beelzebumon commented on Ultima X.
"This is only temporarily. I thought it could have been used once, but I guess not. I'll be back to normal at any given time."
"But how did you gain that digimental?"
"Well, babe. It's a long story. I'm sure you guys won't believe it when I tell you."
Yolei nods with a smile on her face and looks over to Ken's lifeless form. A tear fell from her eye, but it was a tear of joy.
"Ken. I just know it was you giving us hope with one last miracle to save us all. Thank you. It's only a matter of time before we restore you and the damage inflicted on the Earth. I just hope everyone else is having better luck than we are."
"Hey, mom? What are you thinking about?" Sam wondered.
"Nothing. Nothing at all…"
With the fourth digicore piece captured, the Digi-Destined have just about accomplished their missions. But little did they realize was the fact that the next two monsters are in Japan. One of them is leading Omega X out of the chase for Max, while the other has BW preoccupied. The whereabouts of the seventh and final monster is still unclear. Perhaps, it will appear when everyone least expects it.
Many miles off from the Odaiba District. Forest area.
Meanwhile, back at the highway site, Keke had just flown down into the deepest parts of the forest. She had hoped that no projectiles were going to be aiming for her since she now has become a marked target for Hideto the Sniper.
"Shoot! Where did that miserable punk go?!"
Suddenly, Keke's ears perked while picking up on vibrations through the air. She looked up to realize that leaves were blowing along with the wind.
"Whew, it was just the wind."
Next, she quickly picked up one some ki and turned towards the right direction to find a flock of sparrows. The birds flew off through the forest canopy. The girl wiped her forehead and immediately looks back to the warnings given by Hideto.
"You can't even allow yourself to sleep any more."
That was the warning that had lingered within the girl's mind. She knew that if she didn't stop Hideto now, then she would be a target for the rest of her life. She couldn't help to think how miserable her life would be by running away in fear.
"Ugh! Toy me with me, will you?!" growled Keke. "Come on out, you son of a bitch!"
As Keke ran across the forest, there was an ominous figure looking on from a tree branch. He was bearing familiar metallic blue body armor and the symbol of friendship was embedded on his chest. The figure phases out from sight before anyone could spot him.
The young girl stopped to find herself in the middle of a grassy meadow. There was barely any sound, except for the wind blowing against the grass. It gave off quite an eerie effect like some sort of horror/suspense flick.
"Where are you?"
Suddenly, there was that sound of the wind again. Keke stopped to pick up on the sound and looked across to find some grass leaves twirling around in circles.
"Must be the wind again…"
However, the grass leaves flew up into the air above Keke's head. She looks up and questions whether they were being manipulated. Her questions were soon answered as the leaves came shooting down towards Keke. She slapped away four of the five leaves only for the last one to knick her on her left arm.
"Ack!"
Her left arm had only a minor cut from the leaf. The leaf made a u-turn only to be caught rather easily. Keke dropped the leaf and nodded her head. Just then, something had caught her eye. She looked across to find Hideto's hover bike parked against a tree.
"That's his bike! He's here somewhere! There's no doubt about it! Where are you? Where will you be coming at me from?"
Suddenly, something else had caught her attention. An array of objects was coming down from the skies above. Keke looks ahead to realize that rocks were raining down at her in one direction.
"All right! That does it!"
As she powered her fists with ki energy, she smashed through the falling rocks effortlessly. Each fist made their mark and smashed the rocks into pieces.
"Come on! This is already boring me!"
She levels one last rock until powering down her ki.
"Come on out, Hideto! These kinds of attacks won't work!"
Almost suddenly, another array of projectiles were raining down from the heavens. Keke quickly was proclaiming them as another swarm of rocks.
"A third wave, huh? It's no use, no matter how many times you try it."
However, her eyes widened in shock as a swarm of kitchen knives, blades and other deadly kitchen utensils were raining down on her.
"OH CRAP!"
There's good news and bad news. Firstly, Davis and his crew have now retrieved the fourth digicore. With the help of Ken's spirit, Ultima X used the radiance of the once lost Golden Digimental of Miracles. Ken had harbored a portion of the energy through his Crest of Kindess to help his friend vanquish Lichidramon. With four digicore pieces collected, only two more pieces and a whole core are left. Back in Odaiba, Tai and BW are on their pursuit for the two monsters that have lured them out of the city district. Shintomon gets the team together to begin their search for Tai and the others. Now Keke finds herself in a tight pinch with Hideto the Sniper. Max must be retrieved from Saitou in order to save the human world. Unless Hideto is defeated, Keke's life is in danger!

((Preview))
Tai: Yo, everyone! It's me, Taichi! Our brave little Keke is in a tight pinch with Hideto the Sniper. Not only does this guy use kitchen utensils but also can control a freaking diesel truck. I hope he doesn't use a airplane cruiser on the poor girl. But, don't count this little chick out! She's going to kick some butt when she gets her hands on Sniper!
Keke: Damn! I'm not about to let this guy derail me from rescuing Max! I promised Mrs. Kamiya I would bring him to safety!
Tai: Once I get introduced with the fifth monster, Novadramon, I inform him that Keke's life was essential.
Novadramon: Very well, but you return back so we can begin our battle, Taichi.
Metalla X/Matt: Well, well. It's been a while Tai. Don't worry. You don't need to rescue my daughter. I dealt with the problem, and now I have a big surprise to show you. HA!
Omega X/Tai: No way! You've just achieved level four fusion status!
Metalla X: Yes, now let us settle the score!
Max: Why are you two even fighting?! I'm the one captured here!
BW: Whom do they call you stranger?
Creature: Eisdramon.
Takato: Two monsters for the price of one? One dragon digimon with the power of heat and the other with the power of ice? Geez, talk about opposite elements.
Davis: My team and Kari's team return back to Odaiba to inform Shintomon on the great news. Now we're still waiting for Takuya's and Takato's teams to arrive.
X: The next chapter is entitled…
The Elemental Dramon Brothers, Novadramon and Eisdramon! Super Metalla X Achieves the Fourth Level!
Metalla X: Taichi. This is a sight to behold. Now, there are two Fourth level warriors in the digital multi-universe. Which one of us is really destined to combat Saitou? We'll find out.
That ends the two part conflict with Necromon. Now we're moving on with better and more exciting themes in the Dark Realm Tunnel/Millenniumon Arc. We'll be seeing Metalla X in his fourth stage level form and it will be quite a glorious moment for Yamato. But, who really is destined to face Saitou in the very end? You'll just have to see. ((wink))
I hope to get halfway through this saga since I'm way overdue on it. With Christmas coming up, I hope everyone is getting their Christmas shopping down. For those who don't celebrate, I still wish you a happy holiday. Speaking of Max and Keke, does anyone know where Max Acorn been lately? If anyone has anything on his whereabouts, let me know. Anyway, that wraps up my little corner and I bid you farewell to thy all. Peace!

With three monsters defeated, manifested from Millenniumon's shadow, our heroes have collected the digicore pieces needed to restore Azulongmon's items. The mighty Lichidramon challenged Davis and his group. However, Ultima X, who received strength from Ken's spirit, cleared Lichidramon's super cowardly schemes away. The Digimental of Miracles was revived and needed to vanquish the fourth monster. With another digicore piece collected, Ken's body was sent to a local hospital in Odaiba where Yolei and her family remain at his side. Meanwhile, Davis and his team arrive back in Odaiba along with Kari's group in hopes of reuniting with the others.
Back in Odaiba, Keke and BW were on hot pursuit for Saitou's hovercraft until Hideto the Sniper intervened. With another accomplice, BW was distracted to deal with the problem. Keke was left alone to become the Sniper's prime target. Can she escape his territory and save Max in time?

Many miles off from the Odaiba District. Forest area.
"Come on out, Hideto! These kinds of attacks won't work!"
Almost suddenly, another array of projectiles were raining down from the heavens. Keke quickly was proclaiming them as another swarm of rocks.
"A third wave, huh? It's no use, no matter how many times you try it."
However, her eyes widened in shock as a swarm of kitchen knives, blades and other deadly kitchen utensils were raining down on her.
"OH CRAP!"
The knives came closer and closer until Keke quickly put out her fists. She slammed her fists together and unleashed a massive ki blast to complete disintegrate the deadly kitchen utensils effortlessly. However, she did not manage to blast away every utensil as a pair of knives was still aiming for her. For a second, the knives nearly made their target and stabbed through the girl's skin. When it reality, Keke had caught the knives with her fingers. She let out a sigh of relief as the knives were close to killing her.
"Whew, that was a close one. That damn coward won't even come out here and fight me. He knows I'll whoop his ass!"
Meanwhile, Hideto wasn't exactly enjoying this either. He cursed to himself at the sight of Keke surviving the knives assault.
Keke threw the knives down as they fell through the earth ground.
"He wants this to be a contest of endurance, while keeping his distance from me. He's planning on repeating the same attacks and waiting until I either get worn out or miss.
Back in Odaiba
The higher digimon, Shintomon, was kneeling down beside a fountain as he was gathering a telepathic message from both Kari's and Davis' group. He had just finished through getting in touch with Hikari.
"Ok, everyone. I just got through to Kari's and Davis' groups. They will meet us at Mushiyori shortly."
"It makes me wonder if Saitou and the others already arrived at the cavern site," said Sora.
"They should have by now," replied Rei. "My brother, Neo, said that the hole would soon be opened."
"Is that right?" Biyomon asked.
"Yes. When that happens, they're going to need Max's powers, which is why they took him."
"Well, in any case, there's nothing we can do if we stay here," Shintomon informed the group.
"Then, how do we keep in contact with Tai and the others?" Sora asked.
"Through telepathy of course, I thought you already knew that," the higher digimon sighed. "Look, we're already going to be heading to the same location anyhow. He'll be there, unless something came up and he was thrown off his track. Let's go."
However, X walked out towards the opposite direction and past Sora.
"Sora. I'm going back to my world," the masked man said to the redhead.
"What?"
"The tunnel intersecting between the Dark Realm, the Digital Worlds and the Human world is about to be completed. If and when Max is able to exhibit the ability to cut through the barrier field, it will be all over. It is a grave situation. I have to come up with some countermeasures. Listen to me, Sora. I'm leaving the rest up to you. You must go with Shintomon."
"I will. Anything to save my son."
With a nod, X starts walking off into the distance leaving Sora and Biyomon with Shintomon. Thoughts were lingering in X's unpredictable mind.
"Sora. I'm sorry for making you hold this large burden on your shoulders, but I must return back. I have already violated the rulings of the higher digimon echelon authority. I wasn't even supposed to interfere with Tai and his group had their run-in with Doctor Akira and his viral insects. Luckily, they let that one slide, but if I get careless again, I'll never return back to my original body and be sent to protect my own home universe. My friends… I'm sorry it has to come down to this but I have to correct my own mistake. Saitou, I know you're out there and only I can try to get through to you."
Miles from Mushiyori
The hovercraft had already left the Odaiba district and was close to reaching Mushiyori. On board, Mari was driving much calmer than before since no enemy was on their trail. Sigma kept his barrier intact around Max. The boy couldn't stand being contained and screamed out at the top of his lungs.
"Kill me! Kill me right now! Just get it over with and kill me!"
"Shut your mouth or I'll eat you!" Sigma threatened the boy.
"Let the boy shout, Sigma," Saitou replied.
"Huh? But…"
"By amplifying his anger, his ability will likely awaken."
"Ugh! What ever state that I may have been reduced to now, I am still me! I'm Max Kamiya, son of Taichi Kamiya! He's going to come and kick your sorry asses!"
"Oh yeah. We heard that one before," Mari said with sarcasm in her tone.
"I'm not about to bring such a miserable disgrace upon myself!" snapped the boy.
"Damn! Mr. Saitou, are you sure this idiot kid is really the one with the ability to cut through the barrier?"
"In time, Mari, he will come to demonstrate that ability."
"Damn it! Just kill me already! DO IT NOW!"
As his screams echoed throughout the exact area, the hovercraft was nearing the cavern site. Inside would be the tunnel that would open up mankind's Armageddon. The hover unit makes its stop at the entrance. Sigma kicks the barrier ball containing Max out of the vehicle's backseat.
"Here's our stop, kid!" snickered Sigma.
"Where the hell are you taking me?!"
"Oh, we have something wonderful to show you, dear Max."
With that said, Sigma carried the sphere containing Max into the cavern. Mari and Saitou soon followed along to join him deep into the cavern where Neo Saiba awaits. Also with Neo would be the tunnel itself.
Forest area outside of Odaiba/Mushiyori
Frantically flying through the canopies of the forest, Keke was doing everything she could to avoid anymore of Sniper's assault. She looked around like a prey being stalked by a predator.
"I don't know how big his territory is, but there's no doubt he's someplace where he can keep watch over me. Like some kind of observatory tower, yet I don't see one anywhere."
There was an open space across the forest leading to what looked like a highway road ahead. She makes a quit get away and flew without warning.
"Whatever the case maybe, I've got to get outside of his territory!"
Keke lands on the middle of the empty highway and looks ahead to find a diesel fuel truck coming.
"Well, there's a truck. This highway seemed pretty quiet today. Maybe I should tell them about directions home, but damn they'll probably think I'm some kind of freak with these markings on my body."
Suddenly, something strange had caught Keke's eye. She looks on ahead at the driver's seat of the truck. There wasn't anyone present to drive the diesel truck.
"What?! There's no driver! Don't tell me that's a projectile too!"
As the truck came closer, Keke leaps off of the highway and flies off into the air. Little did she realize that the diesel truck was somehow being levitated from the ground and following her exact move? She panicked and continued across the heavens.
"Ugh! You are serious, aren't you?!"
Looking on from on top of a rock ledge was Hideto with a pair of binoculars. He nods his head in shame.
"Let's see her try to counter that. I told her that they would follow her anywhere she goes. Yet she doesn't realize that flying won't do her any good either. But, I may have been too rush in imparting all that ki into the truck."
Hideto took out a revolver pistol out of his pocket and loads a magazine into it. The Sniper obviously has a plan in store for Keke, but would even shooting her be effective. Keke would know better to use her speed to dodge bullets, plus her skin is said to be tough as steel just like Max. Hideto looks over at the diesel truck and sets his target on it.
Back across the heavens, Keke was frantically doing everything she can to avoid getting crushed by the hovering truck.
"Damn it all! Endurance contest, my ass! He's set to kill me! I can just hear the fat lady singing now!"
Keke powers up an aura and travels out faster across the skies in hope of leaving the truck in the dust.
"There's no way I can shoot that thing so close. Besides, I've never had a fuel tank blow up in my face and I don't even want to try either."
Just then, another object caught the girl's attention. She gasped in utter horror as a jet came falling across towards her. Like the diesel truck, there was no driver or passenger inside.
"CRAP! HE'S EVEN USED A FREAKING JET PLANE?!"
The girl found herself in a tight pinch with the two fuel-powered vehicles set to collide with her. She immediately put up an aura barrier, in hopes of protecting herself from the collision. Keke looks across to find Hideto pointing his revolver towards her from a long distance range.
"That rat turd! He's going to take things that far?! Please, I can dodge bullets. Unless…"
Once the fuel-powered vehicles were close to collision, Keke erected her ki barrier. Hideto saw this as an open opportunity and pulls the trigger. The bullet traveled out across and hits the truck's fuel tank. The girl saw this as her chance to escape. She moved away once the diesel truck exploded in collision with the jet. A massive explosion erupted across the heavens with its impact sending Keke sailing across.
The Sniper watched the fireworks display grow and smiled in delight to listen to the girls' screams.
"Mission accomplished."
Mushiyori City.
After having being transported to Mushiyori, Shintomon took Sora and Biyomon to an empty soccer arena. There they had met with Kari's and Davis' group. They had seen them the digicore pieces collected. Shintomon had informed them about the recent occurrences, including the kidnapping of Max.
"What do you mean Max has been kidnapped?!" Davis screamed. "Tai wouldn't let anything like that just happen!"
"Oh my god… What on earth is going on here?" Kari asked worringly.
"Great just when we gain an advantage, we come up with this bearer of bad news," sighed Gatomon.
"Poor, Max," said Veemon.
"Look, everyone. We'll tell you on the way there. I'll have to transport us from a longer distance since there's a barrier that prevents me from entering inside the cave," Shintomon said. "If you recall, they have a spell caster who is not only widening the tunnel radius but also is preventing teleportation to being a key factor."
"Luckily I was able to bring us a map of the area," TK said. "Take a look. This is where we are now."
TK pulled out a white sheet of map with a map of the Mushiyori district, including the outskirts. A red mark was labeled to where the caverns were positioned.
"That is the entrance to Demon's Cavern," TK pointed out.
"Wow, that's a pretty good map there, Takeru," Sora said. "How did you manage to snatch one?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, TK and myself made it ourselves," Patamon mused. "Aren't we geniuses?"
"That's some talent. Never thought you could construct maps," Biyomon said.
"It's some hobby my dad has," said Tike. "He likes drawing maps when he's bored from time to time."
"You ought to check out his collection sometime. They are neat," Kara giggled.
"Anyway, we should get going," Henry suggested.
"Hold on a second. Hey, I don't think we've never met you," Terriermon sniffed Rei Saiba.
"Oh everyone. This is Rei Saiba," Sora introduced her to the teams. "You haven't met them but these are some of our friends. Guys, this girl used to work for Saitou but has now joined our cause."
Suddenly, Veemon, Gatomon and the other digimon excluding Biyomon hissed at the girl. She hid behind Sora since the others don't exactly trust her.
"Sora, somehow I don't think they are happy to see me."
"It's okay. Please, everyone. Rei has seen the error of her ways. Just give her a chance. Besides, only she knows exactly what Saitou has planned for the tunnel. What matters is to save Max. Please, for me. My son's life is in jeopardy."
"It's understood, Sora. We can trust her," Dorothy assured the woman. "I don't sense darkness in this girl's heart."
"How can you be so sure?" Henry asked.
"As D-Reaper's reincarnation, I was able to sense through a person subconsciously. I can look through her like an x-ray. It's okay, guys. We can trust her."
"Wow, Dorothy. You're incredible," Suzie said.
"It's nice to meet you all," Rei said with a bow.
"This is Rei Saiba, a spell caster with the code name Ice Maker," Shintomon explained. "The spell caster who is attempting to open the tunnel is her brother. His territory can somehow also block any teleportation and prevents us from infiltrating the cavern."
"Wow, his powers must be strong then," said Lopmon.
"Physically, he's weak, but it's his territory that gives him the edge," replied Sora. "Look, there's no time to waste guys. We have to get there as soon as possible."
"Brace yourselves. There's just one telling what is in store for each of us," the higher digimon warned the group.
Miles away from Odaiba/Tokyo. Abandoned water facility
After traveling out across many miles from the city, Omega X found himself alone in an abandoned water facility. The creature he was chasing a while ago had somehow disappeared without a trace. He explored his surroundings and, at the same time, traced through on the monster's ki.
"All right. You have to be here somewhere. I just saw you land here, but you're obviously hiding. Where could you be?"
His question was soon answered as the heat temperature started to suddenly rise. Omega X felt the changing climate and wiped his forehead.
"Is it just me or has it gotten hot all of a sudden?"
Omega X looked up towards the skies to find that the sun was 'growing'. This was an abnormal turn of events considering that natural disasters were becoming quite common across the planet already.
"Huh? There's no way the sun can get bigger. Or maybe I'm just losing it. The heat can really screw up your head."
Suddenly, his questions were soon answered as an orange figure emerged out from the skies and dove down towards Omega X. The warrior was quick to see it and phases out of the way. The creature slowly rose to his feet. He looked like a mix between a dragon and gargoyle. His skin was red with an orange heat aura radiantly covering his body. The lips on his face were purple decorated with a pair of fangs.
"Hey! I've been following you since you distracted me from saving Max! So, tell me. Who are you?! Are you one of the seven monsters?"
"Heh. Impressive, Taichi Kamiya."
"My name must be really popular with you guys lately."
"I am Novadramon and I've been waiting for fight you."
"Novadramon, huh? Pretty nifty name you've got there."
(Novadramon. Type: Dragon Warrior Digimon. Level: Mega. Special Attacks: Sun Barrier, Heat Wave Blast & Lava Fists)
"Hold on a second. From what my friends have been telling me, the other four monsters had digicores embedded somewhere on their body. I don't see yours!"
"Why don't I give you a closer look, then?"
With that said, Novadramon held out his hand and a digicore piece emerged out through his skin. He took a look at it and confirmed it.
"Yeah. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Now give it to me."
"Finders keepers, Taichi. If you want it, then you will have to fight and defeat me."
"Fine by me."
"How about we see who will outlive the other in the ultimate survival game?"
"Sounds like fun, Novadramon. You seem to be sure of your abilities. Great, I accept!"
Novadramon responds as his left fist started to radiate with a neon green aura. Somehow, there is more to this monster than meets the eye. Omega X was in for a different kind of one on one encounter.
"This guy has a strange bit of ki within him," Omega X thought.
"Listen up. When that statue falls, that will be the signal for us to begin."
"Cool. I'm ready whenever you are. By the way, were you manifested from out of Millenniumon's shadow?"
"Yes, just like the rest of the other monsters."
Novadramon shoots out an energy blast at a water fountain statue. The pair looks on as the statue fell off from a ledge. Slowly but surely, they clenched their fists and were ready to go at it. As soon as the statue shattered on the ground, they instantly vanished out from sight.
(Play Full Metal Alchemist theme READY STEADY GO!)
Like streaks of light, the warriors flashed across the smoke debris. Novadramon appears at the center of the smoke cloud along with Omega X. Novadramon was the first to strike and plowed a fist through a statue debris.
"Lava Fist!"
The heat-coated fist burned through the debris and melted the statue piece. Omega X flies out at Novadramon and goes for a punch, but Novadramon's body radiated a heat barrier. The swift dragon maneuvers to the side.
"Sun Barrier!"
Suddenly, Omega X noticed his hand was caught on fire as he made contact with Novadramon's heat barrier. He screamed out and wailed frantically.
"Crap! My hand! Ow! Ow!"
He walked over towards the water fountain and placed his hand through. As the hand was relieved of the heat, Omega X let out a sigh and felt Novadramon levitating behind him.
"Damn! I didn't even touch you just now!"
Suddenly, Novadramon put out a hand and formed an orange ki ball. However, rather than blasting it in one attack, the ki ball condensed and shot out an array of heat beams at once.
"Heat Wave Blast!"
"Aw, damn! Here we go!"
The heat beams shot across at Omega X, who used his speed to dodge them frantically. He cursed and hollered while trying to escape being shot at. There was an alleyway for him to hide behind to recuperate.
"I am capable of momentarily rising the temperature of my body to be the same as about the surface of the sun, which is about six thousand degrees."
"Like the sun's surface?! Six thousand degrees?! You've got to be kidding!"
But just as Omega X stepped out of the alley, he found no trace of Novadramon. The monster had instantly vanished without Omega X detecting a ki signal. He walks out into the open and looked for his adversary.
"He's not here. Where could he…"
He looks up towards the skies to find the sun suddenly rising temperature wise. He also noticed the sound effects of a ki shot preparing to fire. An array of heat blasts came raining down from the heavens, which caught Omega X completely off guard. He jumped around frantically to dodge the heat blasts.
"At this rate, I'll become barbeque!"
Novadramon kept his attack targeted on Omega X, who flew out inside the water facility. The sun-coated dragon walked down towards the entranceway and melted down a wall. He stepped inside to find no ki tracing of Omega X.
Hiding behind a desk, Omega X lowered hi ki until he could gather enough to ascend to his fourth level form.
"Geez, I can't even make physical contact with him. I'll just have to wing it out with ki instead. If I continue attacking with fists, his skin will just melt my hands off! Damn, what a rush!"
Just then, Omega X heard a faint noise and watched as a heat blast torched down the desk. The warrior flies out away from the devastation. Novadramon came out into the open and spotted his adversary.
"He can mask hi ki, too?! Man, I'm way over my head!"
Omega X makes a u-turn into another side of the hall and finds a window just ahead of him. He set on blasting through the window to escape out to ascend to his ultimate form. However, Novadramon busted through the wall and stopped him at his tracks. Omega X immediately halted and dodged every fist thrown by Novadramon. The warrior slid under Novadramon's legs and shot his way through the window. Omega X made his grand exit from the building and into the outside.
"I've got to find time to ascend to my fourth level stage and give him the fight he wants. Otherwise, I'm cooked!"
Suddenly, Omega X stopped to find Novadramon standing out on top of a water tower. The warrior maneuvers away to the right in hopes of escaping. But he saw Novadramon instantly reappearing every corner he turned. Omega X looks out into the forest and hides through the brushes. Novadramon follows through after his adversary and searches for me like a stalking predator.
"Hehe. I'm going to get him good."
Novadramon looks across and finds something rustling behind the bushes. He puts out his hand to send a heat blast, until a blue energy beam came shooting out of another corner. Novadramon was caught off guard and sent sailing across out of the forest. The warrior of courage emerges out with a sly grin.
"Ha! Never saw that one coming huh?!"
The warrior's celebration was short lived as he saw Novadramon rising out of the smoke. Forming in his hands were a pair of heat balls. He condensed them and sends out twin heat beams directly for Omega X. He panicked and dodged the blasts only by a small margin. Omega X takes off across the forest canopy in hopes of leaving Novadramon in the dust. He stopped to find Novadramon phasing out in front of him.
"What's it going to take to put your stubborn ass down?! Hmmm… I've got it! Hope, you're ready for this one!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X put his hands together and sends out his most patent attack.
"Terra Beam!"
The energy blast aimed directly for Novadramon and smashed into him with impact. A slight explosion occurred with Omega X smiling at his accomplishment.
"That should do it. I hope…"
His hopes were soon shattered. The heat dragon emerged from out of the smoke with a protective barrier. He forms another ki ball and forces an array of blasts across. Omega X screamed out frantically while avoiding the heat blasts frantically.
"Ow! Not this again!"
Omega X sails across the water facility and lands at the center of an empty damn. He levitated down to the waterless damn surface to catch his breath. He knew that any of his fusion levels would prove useless, including his powerful third level form. He would have to go all the way and ascend to his fourth level form.
(End theme)
"I'll have to go all the way if I hope to even the odds."
"Yes, that sounds like a good idea, Taichi."
He froze in place as he felt Novadramon landing down on the surface.
"What do you say we get serious? I'm sure you're tired of this game of cat and mouse. Am I right?"
"You bet your ass, Novadramon. Now I can go all the way to my fourth stage level form."
"Then, by all means, go for it."
"With pleasure…"
As soon as he said that, Omega X tensed up with his muscles bulging in size. He lets out a deafening scream before becoming engulfed by a bright aura. Novadramon watched as his adversary ascended past his previous level stages and eventually emerged as the reptilian-man beast. Omega X was now currently in his fourth stage level.
"Sorry, about that. I should have done this from the start."
"Likewise…"
The heat dragon's outer skin exterior shattered away into shards before emerging as his true self. His skin was now golden rather than bright orange.
"I take it that's your true self?" Omega X asked.
"Yes and I see that you've ascended into your fourth level stage. Omega X Level 4, I presume?"
"That's right. Now that I've become a level four fusion warrior, your six thousand degree body temperature won't do any considerable damage to me!"
With that said, a bright golden aura radiated all across Omega X's magnificent form. He unleashed his power and created a crater under his feet.
"Yes, this is the way our battle should commence. No more hide and seek. It's all out war, Taichi."
"Then, let's get ready!"
Suddenly, the warrior froze in place while feeling out the explosion from where Keke was being attacked. He could even hear the girl's cries through his mind and began stepping away. Novadramon took notice of this and questioned the warrior's motives.
"What's wrong, Taichi? Why aren't you going to start us off?"
"Novadramon… There's trouble. My son's friend, Keke, is being attacked by one of Saitou's accomplices. I have to go out there and save her before she dies. My son and Matt would never forgive me if anything were to happen to her."
"No, our fight comes first."
"Please, Novadramon. I'm sure if she were your daughter, you'd do the same. You'd pause our fight and rescue her in anyway possible."
The heat dragon began to have second thoughts and let out a sigh.
"Ok, Taichi. But you've got ten minutes. Be back to finish this fight or I will hunt you down myself."
"Thank you, Novadramon. I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything. Save her, stop this enemy and return back. You don't seem too focused to fight right now. That is why I'm giving you ten minutes. Use them wisely and efficiently. Now go."
"I won't forget this, Novadramon. I'll be back!"
Omega X placed two fingers over his forehead an instantly phases out from the water facility. The warrior left Novadramon to wait this out for the next ten minutes.
"The Time Warp. Not a bad trick, Taichi. Remember, ten minutes. That's all you have to take care of this problem."
Forest area outside of Odaiba/Mushiyori
Back at the site, Hideto was gazing upon the explosion that had just occurred a little while ago. The fires fell down upon the forest with smoke rising. Keke's screams had somehow faded into obscurity. He nods his head and was set to make his exit from the forest area to report back to Saitou.
"Time to head out. My job here is-"
"Not through."
Hideto was quickly cut off by a low voice and quickly turns around to find a lone figure standing over a small child. It was Keke along with a mysterious individual with blue metallic armor and the symbol of friendship embedded on his chest.
"What?! The girl survived?!"
The lone figure was actually revealed to be Metalla X, who now bore a serious demeanor on his face.
"Who the hell are you?!" asked Hideto.
Keke coughs out spit after having swallowed some fuel smoke. She looks up to find her father, who already has transformed into his fused warrior status.
"Daddy…?"
"Are you all right, Keke?" Metalla X asked without giving her eye contact.
"Yes. Of course, I am. I would have survived that."
"You got too careless. Luckily I was able to save you."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"Thank you, dad."
Metalla X gives a nod and keeps complete eye contact with the boy who tried killing his own daughter. One should know that anyone who messes with one of Yamato's loved ones would not live to see the next sunrise. It would be eternal darkness for that poor, worthless soul.
"Besides, you can't die when Max is out there captured."
"You're right."
The warrior of friendship steps forward, which provoked Hideto. He pulls out his revolver and points it at Metalla X without even thinking.
"I have no quarrels with you. I will not allow anyone to interfere with our objective."
The warrior did not step away and continued his silent path towards the Sniper. He was going to make this worm pay for trying to kill his daughter.
"I'm warning you! Get lost!" Hideto snapped. "If you don't comply, I will be forced to execute you!"
Metalla X was defiant against his warnings and walked. Pulling the trigger, Hideto shoots with his revolver and aims directly for Metalla X at a close range. However, the warrior phases away. Hideto looks around his surroundings to continue firing more shots. Metalla X was quick to dodge each bullet effortlessly.
For a moment, Hideto was prepared to get serious. That is until Metalla X phases in front of him. The Sniper was frozen in place with his mouth gaping open. His eyes nearly went blank and Keke gasped at what she considered gruesome. Metalla X had shot a tiny ki beam through Hideto's chest. The gaping hold on his chest was sickening with blood pouring from the wound.
"Dad!"
"I avoided anything critical, Keke."
Suddenly, Hideto had put his hand around Metalla X and still aimed for Keke.
"What is the freaking point?!" Keke growled with frustration.
"No one will interfere with Saitou-san's plans. No one…"
Metalla X finished this off by shooting another tiny ki beam through his heart. The Sniper's eyes went blank and his body collapsed on the ground. As a result of his death, his territory's effects worn off. Keke looks across her body to find that the targets were erased.
"Saitou-san…"
Those were the last words of Hideto before he passed away from the world. Metalla X walks away from Hideto's corpse and kneels in front of Keke.
"Keke. We're going to rescue, Max. I promise."
"Thank you, dad."
Just then, Metalla X felt an approaching strong ki and turned around. Omega X had just finally arrived in time using his Time Warp technique. He looks across to find Hideto the Sniper and didn't feel a life source from his body.
"What just happened here? Who killed this guy?"
"You should be thanking me, Tai."
"Ma- MATT?! YAMATO?! You're back!"
"Of course, I couldn't let that bastard harm my daughter. Yes, in fact, I was the one who killed that fool."
"But that was a human life…"
"He tried to kill my daughter and I couldn't let him get away with his crime. Our enemies will mostly consist of humans. Don't you forget that."
"I just came back to halt my fight with another one of the seven monsters."
"I know. I could feel out the two monsters' kis. They are strong and will prove to be difficult to defeat."
"Yeah. I came here to rescue Keke until you intervened."
"She's my daughter, Tai. Besides, Max has already been captured by the enemy. You should have halted your fight to save him and not my daughter. Think before you act."
Omega X lets out a depressing sigh until Metalla X walks past him. The warrior looks out towards the horizon with Keke by his side.
"Taichi. The wind blows wistfully. It's pleasant and calming."
"Huh? What are you trying to get it?"
"It is the wind coming from the Dark Realm. I smell the stench of rottening flesh and blood."
"Oh no. You can smell it, dad?"
"Take a look ahead. The gateway to Hell itself is being opened."
As Omega X turned around, he saw a dark cloud looming over the horizon. Bolts of lighting were surging all around the gaping hole from the heavens above. It was almost as if God himself was preparing to strike down upon the earth for the finishing blow. The hole itself was opening up, another passageway from out of the Dark Realm. Omega X could only look on with horror. It would only be a matter of two days until all the doorways open up for the Synisters to rampage across the human world, along with every Digital World in the digital universe.
Indeed, Armageddon was being realized with the calm before the storm on the horizon.
"I've been watching it grow for the past few days. I tried to enter through the caverns with little luck. X was right about a barrier preventing me from entering. Somehow, the enemy will let us through when they feel the time is right. Now just maybe the time if we act quickly."
The warrior of courage viciously slams his fist through the ground. This caught both Metalla X's and Keke's attentions.
"Tai?" Keke whispered.
"This makes me so damn sick! It's so hard to deal with all these tough enemies at once! They won't attack me head-on!"
"We didn't think these people were going to be trouble either," Keke replied.
"Damn it! Max! I'm sorry! This is no time for me to be griping! I've got to hurry!"
"Hurry? Where do you think you're going?" the warrior of friendship asked.
"It's obvious isn't it, Matt?!" Omega X spat out. "I'm going to rescue my son! Those bastards took him to that cave. I can feel him. He's crying out for me. I'm not going to let those monsters harm him! Then-"
The warrior stopped and smashes his fists together.
"Then, I'm going to tear them apart one by one!"
Just as Omega X was about to set off, Metalla X quickly phases out behind his ex-rival. The courage warrior turns around and watches as he throws out a kick. Omega X was quick to dodge it and jumps away to the other side of the rock ledge. However, Metalla X phases behind him with his hand held out over him.
"Dad! Tai! This isn't the time for this!" Keke pleaded.
"You heard your daughter, Matt. This isn't the time for us to resolve our differences. You said yourself we had little time left. If we end up killing each other, then this world is history. Not to mention every digital world in existence."
"I still hold the fate of your life in my hand, Tai," chuckled Metalla X. "No one has any right to defeat you but me."
"Dad! That's enough! Mom's going to lose it when she hears this!"
"Keke. That's enough out of you. This is between us, men."
"Listen to your daughter, Matt."
"I am. It's you that I'm directing my anger towards."
"What?!"
"So. Is this how you're going to defeat them?"
"You're losing me here…"
"Your son was foolish for getting himself carried off by them. Like father like son… He's just as naive, careless and hard-headed like you."
Those words alone set off Omega X. He wasn't about to let anyone, not even Matt, talk down on his family like that. He quickly gets up on his feet and clenches his fists. He was ready to tear a poor helpless soul apart and that soul was unfortunately, Yamato. This is exactly what Metalla X was hoping to see. Anger and resentment built up within his ex-rival.
"SHUT UP! DON'T YOU EVER TALK DOWN ON THE KAMIYA NAME!"
"Well then, should I be forced to kill you, right here and now?!"
"You just might, Matt. You've pissed me off enough!"
With the two ex-rivals facing each other off, Keke was left to wonder what she could do to pull them away.
"Father? Tai? This isn't the time! Max needs us!"
The two warriors screamed out with powerful auras flaring through their bodies. They immediately ascended toward their second level stages. Metalla X's eyes became radiant with a pair of red flares.
"It's been too long since our last fight, Tai!" exclaimed Metalla X. "Too long for my tastes. What do you say we settle this like old times?!"
"I was just going to suggest the same thing!"
"Why don't you do me a favor and go all the way? Reach your level four status."
"You must have lost it, Matt. That form alone will make me too strong for you to handle. You'll die if I fight you in that state. It's not fair."
"Not fair, huh? I guess I have to reveal you on a little secret."
"What do you mean?"
"Heh. I, too, can reach the level four status!"
"Since when?!"
"SINCE NOW! HA!"
Omega X gasps in shock as he felt a tremendous force flowing through his ex-rival's body. As he arched his head back, Metalla X's form became enveloped in a blue metallic column of light energy. His screams quickly became that of a ravage beast's roars. Looking on from a far distance, Keke could only look on with astonishment.
"Wow! My dad's already achieved the fourth level! Cool! Now my dad is just as strong as Max's father!"
"Damn! I didn't expect Matt to pull this one off. His power is overwhelming. Looks like Lady Moinenea gave you some assistance, like say maybe a spirit?"
The warrior of friendship levitated inside the aura as his muscles started to enlarge. The hair on his back became spiked-up and streaked across down to his back. No longer was his hair golden blonde but it was now jet-black with a silver streak in the middle section. The young man's eyes turned wolf-like with golden pupils and thin irises. His chest became well chiseled and defined with a muscular appearance. Around his body, except for his chest, was dark blue fur. His claws were equipped with red claws with gray gloves covering them. A pair of black army boots now replaced the feet. Black leather pants covered his legs. A long bushy wolf tail sprouted from his posterior. His mouth stretched into a wolf-like snout equipped with deadly, sharp teeth. A metallic blue aura radiated over his newly evolved body.
Omega X and Keke were stunned beyond belief. The warrior had gained the rare fourth level digital fusion stage. It was once believed that only Taichi could do it, but destiny was also reserved for another.
"Yamato. Unbelievable," Omega X whispered. "You finally did it."
"Yeah! Now that's the father I grew to love!" cheered Keke. "See, Tai? I told you my dad would keep up with you. It was only a matter of time."
"A wolf, huh? No surprise there, Matt. So, what now? You still want to go another round?"
"C'mon, you two! We don't have the time for this quarrel," Keke pleaded to the warrior pair.
"Want to know how I achieved this stage, Tai?" chuckled Metalla X. "I just read through your thoughts. You mentioned Lady Moinanea. Well, you are partially right."
"Do tell."
The wolf warrior takes a battle stance while his ex-rival did the same. Before he made his first move, Metalla X went about to explain his recent achievement.
"This one's going to be brief. I'll make this short and sweet. It all started as soon as I left you behind…"
Flashback
"Little did all of you realize was that I was given a message from Lady Moinanea. That's the reason why I bluffed an excuse and did not want to reveal to any of you that I would be desperately preparing myself for the upcoming apocalypse. So, Lady Moinanea saw me as another last resort."
"Matt! That's enough!" Omega X snapped. "Where are you going?!"
Metalla X turns away from the group and looks out towards the heavens. The warrior turns and faces them with an angry glare.
"Whatever happens to this world is of no concern to me," Metalla X snorted. "You have your band of merry men and women, Tai. I'm a moot point."
"So! You're just going to walk away on us?!" Ultima X exclaimed. "If you didn't notice, Ken was just slain and the Digi-Cores are gone!"
"Please, Mr. Ishida! We need you," Max pleaded.
"Poppa!" Keke cries out. "Don't go!"
"Yeah, dad"! the younger Dimitri calls to his father.
"Just what has gotten over you?!" snapped Mimi. "Don't you walk out on your own family, too!"
"You can do whatever you want from here on," the ice cold warrior spoke up. "I have no intention of interfering with you! Neither do I intend to help you!"
"Matt! Just hear what you're saying!" War Angemon exclaimed. "You're losing it!"
"Let him be, TK! You coward, Matt!" hissed Ultima X. "Real men help when they're needed!"
"Feh. Save that damn idealism for your freaking fairytales," Metalla X bellowed.
With that said, Metalla X takes off into the heavens immediately and leaves everyone behind to look on. Omega X didn't even bother trying to stop him. Once again, Yamato has left his friends hanging out to dry to recollect his thoughts, but many wonder if he'll ever return when needed.
"Some of you branded me as a traitorous coward for walking out on you like that, but it didn't matter to me. I was going to take the chance to battle these new stronger adversaries. I wasn't going to be left out behind Takato, Davis, the legendary warriors or yourself. I was once stronger than you, Tai. I wanted to relive that moment once again."
Metalla X later found himself surrounded by a bright, heavenly aura while meditating his thoughts at the city's outskirts. He looks across to find a beautiful young woman with turquoise hair and a beautiful white gown. Her gown was decorated with green shoulder padding and her dress was lined with an array of gorgeous gems.
"Lady Moinanea. What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you, Yamato."
"For what? To spout more crap about how great Taichi really is? You should be with Shintomon since there's a no conflict on the horizon."
"With the tunnel, I know. However, I've recently had some premonitions."
"Premonitions?"
"Yes. I've had some horrible yet cryptic dreams about the fate of the human world. It is said the One warrior would have overcome all the seeds of evil until he comes across the Dark Angel. The Dark Angel seeks to open the mouth of Hell's gate and spread chaos over the realm of flesh and blood. The worlds of the data will also suffer."
"What are you getting at? You know I'm in no mood for your fairytales."
"Hear me out. These are prophecies I have been reading upon and it has been passed down my bloodline for generations. Shintomon is aware of it. So is X. However, we never would have thought Taichi would be the One."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"A lot. Because of you, the One's greatest rival would be his closest ally. That's you, Yamato. The two rivals would possess the two ancient spirits of courage and friendship. It was thought that only one would emerge. However, that part of the prophecy is false. The other one would eventually find his spirit. You, Yamato, are that individual. Congratulations. Today is your lucky day."
As Lady Moinanea finished her sentence, she pulls out a small artifact. This one, unlike Tai's, has a wolf beast with ancient warrior armor. The symbol of friendship was embedded on its chest.
"Is that what I think it is…?!"
"Yes, Yamato. It is yours for the taking. You are the One's greatest rival who has earned it."
Metalla X didn't hesitate for a moment and took the artifact. He studied it for a moment until he laid his eyes on the demigoddess.
"Tell me more about this prophecy."
"I will. As you know, the One would be the individual bearing the original heart of courage. However, the once omnipotent Overlord crushed that prophecy by sending a Meteor of death through the data planet of the Northern section."
"Burizalor destroyed the planet from the Northern sector. So, there was supposed to be someone before Tai to fulfill this prophecy?"
"That is until he died. That honor was passed along to Taichi without him knowing. The One would first face up against his great rival, which would be you. The One would triumph with the help of the Angel of Hope to crush the great rival. Only for the great rival to have his life sparred."
"I remember. They spared my life."
"Yes. Had they not sparred your life and forgive you, and then the Overlord would have not come into play. Alas, you were sparred and the Overlord set his ambitions to finding the Orbs of Light. Those would be Azulongmon's digicores. They have the power to restore life from death."
"Tell me something I don't already know. I've been brought back to life twice with them. Death's a pain."
"The One and his rival would form the holy alliance while putting aside their animosities. Only one of them would achieve the true status as the One warrior. The angel of death strikes the rival while the One would suffer the pain of the loss of the maiden who bears love. To avenge his loved ones, the One achieves legendary status to defeat the Overlord. Thus, one reign of terror was subsided."
"Sora and I were killed by Burizalor. Tai became enraged over the losses. His emotions became too extreme for him to endure and thus he evolved into Omega X. He battled Burizalor to the death. Tai emerged victorious."
"Only for the One to become trapped in a realm of darkness. The realm would then implode as a form of a Supernova."
"Omega X found himself in an alternate world outside anything within the boundaries of the digital universe. We thought he had died within the explosion until we learned he survived."
"The One survived the Supernova through a miracle. He would remain dormant for a few calendars."
"Years later after that, he could return back to us."
"The One would return home to meet with the Messenger from the Future. The Messenger had slain the Overlord beforehand."
"The future version of my present day son, Dimitri, came to warn Tai and us about the upcoming threat. Dimitri himself finished off Burizalor where Tai left off."
"The Messenger would warn the One and his loved ones about the upcoming Cyborg Men, whose powers transcend the Overlord's. These Cyborg Men destroyed the future period of the Messenger's. It was realized that a part of the prophecy became false according to the text. The Messenger's arrival changed the appearance of the Cyborg Men. Those false Cyborgs were easily dealt with until the real Cyborgs were awakened."
"There were three sets of artificials we dealt with. Three of them were not the ones that Dimitri warned us about. Eventually, we would have faced off against two of the three true artificials."
"During the Cyborg threat, the One would fall to a flaming heart and his rival would ascend to legendary status."
"Ha, how could I forget that? I became Metalla X during the Cyborg threat. The flaming heart you're referring to would be the viral disease that attacked Tai's heart. Yeah, it sucked to be him, but I remember that moment where I surpassed him."
"With the Cyborg threat dwindling, another Messenger from the future would arrive. This one is actually the Bio-Weapon of Destruction."
"Virus…"
"By assimilating with two of the three true Cyborgs, the Bio-Weapon would achieve the status of a god. It would be then that the rival and the Messenger would ascend to the next level of legendary status. Even that would not be enough to bring down the Bio-Weapon. The hopes were laid on the shoulders of the recovered One and the Angel of Light."
"Hikari surpasses myself and Taichi as Celesta X."
"By holding an unholy tournament, the Bio-Weapon would look for the greatest challenge. The One would surrender and allow the Angel of Light to take his place. The Angel would cry over the pain and torment committed by the Bio-Weapon. The last of the true Cyborgs would be destroyed by the Bio-Weapon, which leads to the awakening Amazing Grace of the angel. Holy light and purity manages to destroy the evils of corrupted science. The Bio-Weapon falls after the Angel of Hope dies and the Angel of light stands triumph. The Hope is then restored to fall in love with the Light."
"My brother and Hikari eventually become the holy couple who saved the planet from Virus."
"Seven calendar periods later, a new generation of heroes would bear the cards of light. One of which will carry the Bio-Hazard."
"Takato…"
"The Bio-Hazard and his allies align themselves with the One's army to fight off the corrupted Exalted beasts."
"Devas…"
"Only to find out from the Oracle that the Reaper of Death would reawaken to bring chaos to the worlds."
"Shintomon warned us about the D-Reaper's awakening."
"The wicked Sorcerer would corrupt the mind of the One's rival to destroy the One."
"False. I allowed Dark Magimon to control me so I can further my strength and surpass Taichi."
"It was all a ploy for the Sorcerer to use the time needed to reawaken the Reaper of Death. At the same time, the Bio-Hazard nearly brought forth a cataclysmic eruption when the Beelzebub nearly killed the Amazon Queen. The Southern Data world would have been destroyed had the Bio-Hazard not control it's fury."
"Takato went nuts when he saw Beelzebumon nearly kill Rika and forced Guilmon to digivolve into Megidramon."
"Only for the Bio-Hazard to reverse its destructive effects and become the exalted knight. Their greatest enemy was still the Reaper. The great rival gave his life up and walked death's doors for a second time."
"I died a second time and that was just a heart warming moment. It was the first time I knew that I had no chance of surviving. I gave my life up by blowing myself up along with D-Reaper. The monster survived and my sacrifice had gone in vain."
"The One would emerge to ascend into another godly status to battle the Reaper. With night comes another day; the sun arises over the planet. The Reaper splits itself into two halves: an angel and a devil. The devil triumphs and destroys one data world. With death, comes hope. A new generation of heroes arose to battle the Reaper to the very end. It was not enough. The One and his great rival used the earrings of the Oracle's predecessor to form a god-like entity. In fact, the god-like entity transcended even the Reaper."
"Kaiser X sure kicked some ass, but it was thanks to my tactical mind. D-Reaper didn't stand a chance."
"By entering inside the Reaper, the One and his rival cut the source of the Reaper's infinite power. However, it only led to the Reaper reawakening as the Death Reaper. Without a single thought, the Death Reaper vanquished the realm of the flesh."
"Our home planet was destroyed by the D-Reaper. I could never forget that. That was unforgivable. Our families died on that planet, but then…"
"The One and his warriors battled the Death Reaper on the Oracle's home world. It was a bloody, yet a tiring war. Perhaps the most devastating battle to occur. Blood and fire spread across the planet. A glimmer of hope came when the One formed the sphere of purity. This gigantic source was collected from the spirits of the resurrected ones of the flesh world. The Orbs of Light helped process the hopes of these souls to help the One. Eventually, the One handed the sphere to the Bio-Hazard."
"Tai gave the Life Bomb to Takato."
"With one mighty swing, the Bio-Hazard slayed the Death Reaper. Before the last amount of particles faded from the Reaper, the One asked for the Reaper to be resurrected into an innocent child of a pure heart."
"Dorothy was born and grew up quickly into a ten-year-old girl. She in fact is the reincarnation of the D-Reaper."
"Yes, indeed. Five calendar periods later, the One and his warriors would meet the spirit warriors."
"Tai and his group met the legendary warriors."
"The spirit warriors defeated the corrupted Cherbui angel, the Knights of royalty and Lucifer himself."
"Cherbuimon, the Royal Knights and Lucemon…"
"When these two teams united, they had to overcome the great machine empire. Before doing so, they freed the Great Dragon out of her slumber and released the Goddess. That is I. Within this empire was a deadly mastermind. The creator of the empire was the Vengeful Soul."
"Bebimon. That bastard took over my body!"
"By possessing the great rival, the Vengeful Soul sought to avenge his followers slain by one of the original humans. He started off as an avenger but soon became possessed for the need of power. The One would gain an artifact and become possessed by the beast. The Beast would cause rampage across everything that he touches until his Son pleaded to stop. The Beast would see the error of his ways and ascend to the next level of divinity."
"Tai reaches level four status. He would then beat the crap out of Bebimon."
"The One would free his rival of the Vengeful Soul, destroy the this enemy, and liberate all those who supported the Soul. Peace did not last as the Hole opened over the heavens to release the demons from their prisons within Limbo. The One and the Bio-Hazard are reacquitanted by the Overlord and the Bio-Weapon. The heroes of light escape only to battle the Ultimate Cyborg. Every warrior had fallen until the Noble Knight intervened to destroy it."
"Davis became Ultima X and defeated the Super Artificial."
"However, the Hole was merely a foreshadowing of the events yet to come. The Hole pales in comparison to the Tunnel, which the Dark Angel is hoping to open. There's one last piece to this whole prophecy, you need to know…"
"What's that?"
"For the One to become the Messiah, the Dark Angel will need to…"
End of Flashback
After listening to Metalla X's explanation of Lady Moinanea's story, the warrior of courage became even more interested. He didn't want to be left out in the suspense.
"Will need to do what? What does the Dark Angel need to do? C'mon, Matt. Spit it out!"
"Sorry, but I cannot say."
"Tell me how you reached your level four status."
"Talk later. I'm ready to finish off where we last left off! What do you say? Just like old times if you ask me!"
"Whatever you want, Matt. But remember, if we manage to live through, you will tell me how you even used the spirit."
"Fine, but you better hope we survive kicking each other's asses."
(Play The Matrix Reloaded theme Chateau)
With that said, the warriors became radiated by bright auras of light. Their auras bounced off one another and crushed the ground under their sheer power. Keke couldn't even attempt to interfere since she would only get in the way. Metalla X was the first to step forward. He charges out ahead towards Omega X with his fists being drawn out.
"You ready, Taichi?! I'm going to kill you!"
"Bring it on, bitch!"
The warriors collided with one another, while in turn sending out a massive explosion of energy. The rock ledge, which they stood on, was crumbling under their feet. Keke was forced to take off to take refuge over the forest. Omega X and Metalla X traded strong blows with each other. Fists were thrown out with extreme force but they were able to counter each other.
Omega X delivers an elbow shot into his ex-rival's torso. However, Metalla X saw through to this and kicks him in the face. The warriors pulled themselves away from each other and proceeded to throw out ki-coated fists. Their fists met their faces simultaneously. After a few moments, Metalla X took advantage of his adversary with an uppercut, which Omega X successfully avoided contact.
"That does it! Here I come, Yamato!"
Omega X phases out and reappears before Metalla X. They once again traded rapid blows, including slamming their fists with each other. Omega X was taken back by his ex-rival's battle aura and thrown off his guard. Metalla X once again took advantage. He delivers vicious kicks into Omega X's ribs and then punches him the gut multiple times. Each blow took their toll on Omega X as he spat out blood from his mouth.
"This isn't the time for this! I could stop them but I'll only get in the way. Plus, their battle auras would most likely kill me."
The warrior of friendship lands more punches across Omega X's face. One punch had enough force to send Omega X sailing across the landscape. He is sent plowing through a small mountain ridge. From there Metalla X caught up to his fallen adversary only to find that he was missing. He immediately picked up an incoming ki and found Omega X diving down at him. Metalla X dodged but only to be punched in the face. Omega X follows it up with an elbow shot to his gut and a kick to his chin. The deafening blows sent Metalla X skidding across the landscape.
"Is that all you've got to offer, Yamato?!"
"Likewise, Taichi!"
The stubborn warriors once again charged each other. They traded more punches across their faces. The intense energy of their auras was staggering. Calling them strong would be a severe understatement. They have already transcended past their normal limitations. They have exerted more power through their fists alone than by firing away excessive ki blasts.
Omega X slams a fist against Metalla X's face, who in turn retaliated. More punches and kicks were delivered at a rapid speed. Even Keke couldn't keep up with the two. The warriors take off into the heavens above and separated themselves from each other. Like a pair of comets, the pair slammed into each other several times until the heavens trembled under their sheer might. Omega X cupped his hands together while calling forth his ultimate attack. Meanwhile, Metalla X put out his hands in front of him to summon his finishing blow.
"Oh crap! I better get the heck out of dodge!" Keke shrieked.
"TERRA-"
"ICE BARRIER-"
"BEAM!" the warriors cried out in unison.
Their attacks slammed into each other into a tight struggle. Both were exerting all of the power within their fiber digital bodies could even muster. Both attacks were ultimately detonated on impact as the warrior pair phased out from sight. The earth's heavens trembled even more than even the biggest earthquake known in recent times. The warriors reappeared behind each other. Omega X realized that he had his back against Metalla X. They both turned around to meet each other's fists. They were sent skidding back with little fatigue in their bodies.
(End theme)
"Wow! They did all that and they haven't even come close to showing fatigue!" Keke exclaimed. "Unreal… I wish I could ascend like them."
With the warriors staring each other down, Metalla X held out his right fist. The warrior of courage was ready to take anything his ex-rival was set to deliver. However, Metalla X merely licked the blood from his right hand and spat the blood out.
"Well, that's mildly disgusting, Matt."
"I'm relieved, Tai. It appears your current power status haven't gone weak on you."
Omega X was a bit taken back by this comment until he realized that his ex-rival had just nearly killed him to 'test him'. He stomped his foot down and went on a tirade.
"You son of a-! You just provoked me just to test me?! Right?! Am I right?!"
"You just needed a good kick in the ass."
"Well, that was inappropriate…"
"How did it feel, running wild with everything you've got, after all this time?" Metalla X asked while spitting more blood. "Up until a moment ago, you had a look of frustration all over your face."
"Say what?! You mean you just testing Tai, dad?" Keke said. "Wow, I thought you were actually serious about fighting him."
"In a way, yes. I had to do it because this Saitou character will just be even more ruthless than I have ever been. Our fights will be child's play compared to when Tai has to eventually face Saitou."
"I see."
"Besides, Tai. These guys came at you with a clever tactic. Their strategy was to suppress your power down to it's minimum, while utilizing their own abilities at their maximum levels."
Metalla X stepped forward and bandaged his right arm with a cloth sheet. He continued giving his warning to his ex-rival.
"With your head in an uproar as it was, no matter how much you fought them, Saitou would have overcome you."
"Matt… I…"
"Fight with a cool head, Tai. You can't go exerting your brawn in this matter. Though knowing you, I'm probably wasting my time telling you this."
Suddenly, Omega X was slightly chuckling only to give an outburst of laughter. The warrior of friendship was a bit taken back by his laughter.
"I missed the joke, Tai. What's so funny?" Keke wondered.
"Yeah, I don't remember even humoring you."
"Oh, nothing! Ha! Ha! It's just that- I never though that I'd be told by you to cool my head. It's a bit too much and unexpected. No, really. You never saw this coming! Ha!"
"Grr. You idiot. Maybe I should have been serious and killed you when I had the chance."
"But, no, seriously. Thanks, Matt. That was what I needed."
Without answering Omega X, Metalla X walks away over to Keke and prepares to set off.
"Hey, Matt. Go meet with everyone else. They should be miles from the caverns."
"Why aren't you going to come along?"
"No. I left behind a monster that is waiting for me as we speak. I promised him that I would return to resume our fight after I came here to rescue Keke. Then, you showed up unknowingly."
"I see. So you left him behind just to save my daughter? Is that why you left Max to be taken away?"
"I couldn't do anything. This monster wouldn't let me go and save him. He would have stopped me the whole way through. I have to go back and resume our fight."
"Then, go. When you're through with him, then come back."
"Also, the tunnel is set to be opening in two days. No, make it by tomorrow. The hole will have been completely open. Even if it's just until we get Max back."
"Don't try sweet-talking me, Tai."
"C'mon, dad. We have to go and rescue, Max! Please, for me!"
"You'd better listen to your daughter. You should do it for her. She has a deep bond with my son."
"Is this right, Keke?"
"Yes, very much."
"All right. But if we're too late to stop the tunnel from opening, then there's nothing I can do. What's done is done. You should be thinking about that too, Tai. If Armageddon comes tomorrow, then so be it."
"Just, curious. Wouldn't you be interested in The Human Armageddon CD?" Omega X asked with curiosity.
"The Human Armageddon?"
"You know. The cd that shows all of the crimes and atrocities that we humans have ever done. They say Saitou must have swiped it from the Holy Realm under the Sovereign's noses. Even Shintomon knows about it. It's apart of their top secret files. Once he's defeated, maybe I can show it to you."
"But that's the Holy Realm's top secret material."
"Yeah, I don't want my dad is lose it like Saitou did!"
"Eh, I wouldn't worry about you dad, Keke. He'll probably think its rubbish."
"Besides, I doubt they let you get away with taking it either, Tai," Metalla X scoffed.
"Doesn't matter. It's a small sacrifice to pay for a larger victory. Besides, I never even ordered to get the footage back."
"This is starting to get interesting, Tai."
"Ok, now tell me that last part Lady Moinanea mentioned in the prophecy about what the Dark Angels needs to do with the One?"
"I don't know. She even left me in suspense. Looks like we will have to find out for ourselves."
"A Messiah, huh? Wonder if it's true."
"Well, if the events of the prophecy have so far been eighty-five percent accurate, then it could happen."
"I'm really interested to know. But, I've got another question. How did you manage to use and control your spirit?"
"Oh that… As soon as I received my spirit, I was told to go see Yamaki and the Hypnos team. They had a device called the Brutes Wave. I still have some memories during the time Bebimon possessed my body. The Hypnos team used it on him and my body to transform into that gigantic wolf beast."
"Yeah, how could I ever forget that?!" Keke exclaimed. "You… Well Bebimon killed us all."
"I'll never forgive that worm for taking my body as his tool. As soon as I arrived the Hypnos HQ, I found it to be abandoned. Then, Yamaki himself approached me. He informed me that they had relocated to an underground facility and moved all of their equipment there after the whole incident with the Super Artificial. With another danger looming in the horizon, they made priorities with their move. I was taken to their underground facility to become a test subject for the Brutes Waves. My guess was that Lady Moinanea felt that the Brutes Waves would be the much needed boost to activate the spirit…"
Flashback
Being contained inside of a capsule, Metalla X was laid with wires attached to his body. They were used to track down on his heart rate.
"Ok, Riley. We're going to give the Brutes Waves another go," the head of Hypnos ordered.
"But, sir. The last time we even used it was on Bebimon. What are the chances Yamato won't turn into a monster again?"
"It's worth it if we are to survive the attack by these monsters Lady Moinanea warned us about."
"Systems are set and operational," Talley stated.
"Good! Now run the Brutes Waves project!"
With that said, the team activated the generator to the Brutes Waves and opened the surface hatchet. The satellite rose to the surface and positioned itself directly towards the moon. After a signal given by Yamaki, Riley activates the satellite to send out the waves directly with the moon's radiant light. The rays synchronized with one another and bathed their light over Metalla X. The warrior seethes under the pressure from the light and felt the artifact pulsating with energy. He immediately sat up and his heart rate was immediately going off the scale.
"Sir! His heart rate is increasing! If he strains himself too much, he'll die!" Riley warned Yamaki.
"We're close to accomplishing our task, Riley! Just a few more seconds should suffice!"
Within a few moments, Metalla X's armor shattered from his body and he grew to a gigantic werewolf creature. He ripped his way through the capsule and unleashes an unforgiving roar. The Hypnos team panicked at the sight of the werewolf until it's body started radiating. The beast eventually shrunk down and became engulfed in a bright column of light.
"We did it. He's undergoing the transformation as we speak," Yamaki said. "Lady Moinanea. We did it. After many failures, we have finally gotten Yamato merged with the spirit."
As the column of light started to fade, a pair of crimson eyes was peering through the light. A long figure was standing out with electric streaks coursing through his form. Yes, it was indeed a reality. Yamato has finally achieved the rare level four stage of digital fusion.
"At last, I gained my fourth level form and became the warrior you see before you. I was once again reborn."

"Wow, that's a pretty crazy story, Matt. So you were able to control it?" Omega X asked.
"Yes. Unlike you, I'm able to control my form with a great disciplined mind. As a singer and a lover for music, I sung a song to myself to help contain the beast from within."
"Sort of like singing a lullaby," giggled Keke.
"Yeah, sort of."
"Well, Matt. It's good to know we have another fourth level warrior on our team. Now we're ready for anything."
Suddenly, Metalla X felt an approaching ki coming from beyond the distance. Even Omega X was picking up on this sudden movement of wicked ki.
"Heh. Like now, huh, Tai?" Keke teased him.
"Well, it looks like we have some company," said Metalla X.
Flying down from the gaping hole were two gigantic figures. One of which was a large black-clad devil-like creature with an orange bat symbol printed on his chest and the other was a sinister-looking samurai warrior. Behind them was a massive white armored beast with purple gliders sprouting on it's back. His face was covered with a red mask and yellow eyes underneath the mask. His limbs were long, skinny and his fingers were sickly in appearance. A lump of yellow shaggy hair covered his head on top of the red mask.
"Well, looks like someone needs to brush and floss!" Omega X made a comment to the larger beast.
"Those guys must have come from out of the hole!" Keke said.
"Devimon. Musayamon. Belial Myotismon," Metalla X stated each digimon's identity.
"Well, well. Look what we have here, boys," Musayamon snickered.
"Here we are, beckoned by the scent of delicious morsels," Belial Myotismon spoke in a thunderous tone. "I smell the stench of digimon off of them."
"Interesting, a pair of hybrids and a human girl together?" Devimon said. "This is quite a sight to behold, but it's a shame they won't be together for very long."
"Looks like we're already in phase three," Metalla X informed his comrades. "That means our home planet is going to start crawling with these kind of low level idiots."
"Idiots you say?!" Belial Myotismon laughed.
"That does it! You might not look good, but I'm going to dlice you up into chowder!" Musayamon said while pointing to Metalla X.
"Tai. Now here's a really good reason why I now decided to join you guys again," Metalla X stated. "If we don't act now, then I'll be forced to do deal with these naive scumbags constantly. Believe me. It's going to be a pain in the ass for me."
"That would be very unpleasant," Keke said nodding.
"Absolutely," replied Omega X.
"Bah! We're the ones who find you unpleasant!" Devimon hissed. "Take this! The Touch of Evil!"
"Crimson Mist!"
"Time to dice you fools up!"
Within a split second, the trio quickly moved across and made short work of the three viral types. Keke sends out a ki blast to destroy Musayamon. Omega X punches his away through Devimon without breaking a sweat. Lastly, Metalla X easily disposed of Belial Myotismon with his claws. The giant was cut down in half before breaking down into data.
The trio was completely unscathed while a large data cloud streaked past them.
"We don't have time to be goofing with idiots like those fools," Metalla X sighed.
"Well, Matt. I really have to get back with my fight. You make sure to tell everyone else about my whereabouts."
"Ok, but you come back. Got it?"
"Hey, I've never abandoned you guys before. If things get messy, just use telepathy to reach to me. Hopefully my fight doesn't last too long."
"Good luck, Tai!" Keke said with encouragement.
With a nod, Omega X placed his two fingers on his forehead to teleport out using his Time Warp. Metalla X was left behind with Keke.
"Ready to go, Keke?"
"You bet, dad!"
Back at the Demon's Cavern
The cries of Max echoed from throughout the cavern. Saitou's crew was gathered around the sphere containing the boy.
"Just go ahead and kill me already! I don't want to live through this!" Max screamed.
"Phase two has now already been set," Saitou said. "Now we do everything we can to draw out the boy's secret power. We're only a few short moments before the tunnel is open."
Miles away the water facility
Another hunt was ensuing with BW searching the forests for the other winged monster. He suddenly felt a cold breeze around the temperate forest but managed to concentrate to find the monster's ki. So far, he had no luck.
"He's got to be here somewhere," BW growled in frustration. "Where ever he is, he's really good at masking his ki. Hey, why don't you show yourself you bastard?!"
He received no response from the ice dragon and continued his walk through the forest. Just then, he saw a sudden swift movement within the brushes. BW stopped and picked up on slight vibrations from within the air.
"What was that just now…?"
Suddenly, BW turned to find a swift hand movement strikes him across the face. The former Black War Greymon is sent skidding across the forest. He immediately responds by sending out a double ki blast. His attacker flew up into the air and shoots down an icy projectile. BW retaliates with a ki beam to knock the ice blast out of its course.
"Show yourself!"
"As you wish," the ice dragon hissed.
BW stepped into a battle stance while the creature landed on the ground with its arms crossed. The monster looked exactly like Novdramon with the same body structure except that it's skin was light blue and his lips were pink.
"You must be one of the seven monsters, right?"
"Wow, you're a fast one. Aren't you?"
"Very funny. Now identify yourself because I'm the last person you'll ever lay your eyes on."
"Call me Eisdramon."
(Eisdramon. Type: Dragon Warrior Digimon. Level: Mega. Special Attacks: Arctic Barrier, Subzero Breath & Icicle Spears)
"Eisdramon? Well, my name is BW. That will be the last name you will ever hear because I'm ending your life right now."
"Oh, such idle threats. Do you think you can carry out your threats?"
"Try me."
"As you wish-"
Before words could even come out of BW's mouth, Eisdramon had just already phased out from sight. He paused for a moment and felt a driving force being exerted into his gut. He lets out a deep gasp and saw Eisdramon with an elbow driven in his gut.
"Not so easy, am I?" Eisdramon snickered. "So you're the former Black War Greymon? Just how many years ago was that?"
BW immediately responds with a fist smashing against Eisdramon's face. The force wasn't enough to even push the ice dragon. Eisdramon responds by creating an ice barrier would his body and encasing BW within an ice sculpture. BW cried out before his voice was silenced by the time the cold breeze froze him completely from head to toe.
"There. That should keep you encased. You weren't even worth the time. Maybe I should have asked you for Taichi's whereabouts. But I'll simply find him by reading on his ki. Oh well. Now, it's onto finding Taichi and finishing him before my brother does."
With that said, Eisdramon flies out into the distance to begin his search for Omega X. Little does he realize is that Novadramon is already beginning to commence battle with the warrior of courage. BW remained frozen in place but his thoughts were still in effect.
"Good. I can still use telepathy despite the condition I'm in. Tai's in trouble if he has to fight two monsters at once. I'll have to call on the others. Tai will need help and it's going to take some time for me to break out of this damn ice shell. Ok, time to start cranking that ki."
Abandoned Water Facility
Ten minutes has officially passed and Novadramon had patiently waited. He had assumed a meditation position to conserve his energy. Suddenly, Omega X had returned using his Time Warp teleportation. Without turning back around, Novadramon sits up from his meditation.
"So, Taichi. Did you save the girl?"
"Yeah, but I did have a run-in with Yamato. I hope my power didn't actually weaken after I was dealing with him."
"Yamato? Yes, I felt his power. You and him were very much even in power and strength."
"I'd like to thank you for allowing me to help Keke and her father out."
"Good, because now is time we settle our fight. We shall determine which of us is the better warrior. I will give everything I've got."
"Likewise, Novadramon."
Both warriors raised their ki and sported auras radiating over their bodies. Omega X steps into a battle position just before Novadramon did the same.
"Taichi. I'm ready."
"Good. What do you say we get started?" Omega X said with a grin. "As soon as I beat this guy, he'll give me the digicore and I'll ask him if he can help me to save Max. If this guy is anything like Pikkan and BW, he'll have an honor code. But, first things first. I'm going to give him the honor to fight me one on one."
Miles away from Demon's Cavern
Elsewhere, just many miles across from Demon's Cavern, Shintomon had transported himself and the group party at the area where Demon's Cavern was positioned. The higher digimon chose a spot miles away from the cavern since the barrier around the cavern prohibits any form of teleportation to enter through it. That includes Shintomon's own teleportation.
Sora, Kari and TK looked across to find Metalla X and Keke flying across from the distance. They waved out to the pair.
"Look! There's Matt and Keke!" Sora calls out to the group.
"Great! We're all together again!" TK said.
"Except for my brother. Where is Tai?" Kari wondered. "Hopefully, he gets here soon."
Shintomon gives a nod to everyone to remind them that they would be ready to set off through the forest to Demon's Cavern.
"Taichi. Where ever you maybe, we will need you if we come across Saitou. But for the time being, we'll just have to wing this one out. With Yamato also possessing the ability to ascend to the fourth level, we have a chance. I just hope we aren't too late to save Max… For Taichi's, humanity's and the digital universes' sakes."
The two monsters have revealed themselves. One of which possesses the elements of the sun. Novadramon has the code of a true warrior. On the other hand, his brother, Eisdramon is quite opposite and a cutthroat. He chills his opponents with his ice powers, just as he demonstrated on BW. Hideto the Sniper has been slain by Metalla X, who had just now achieved the level four digital fusion statuses. He and Tai had their little fun but now they must be aware of the dangers that loom in the horizon. With the team nearly reunited, they set off to Demon's Cavern to rescue Max. Can Tai settle the fight with Novadramon to rejoin his comrades or will Eisdramon prevent him from doing so? Armageddon looms within the horizon and there is only little time left.

(Preview)
Tai: Hey, everyone! It's me, Tai! The next episode will feature myself and Novadramon laying the smackdown on each other. This guy is more than meets the eye! He's already giving me a run for my money and proves to be at a higher level than the previous four monsters. Everything's going smoothly until Eisdramon interferes.
Novadramon: Brother! What do you think you're doing? This is a one on one battle I promised Taichi!
Eisdramon: Promises are meant to be broken, dear brother. It's best to kill your enemy while they're down. Allow me to have the honor to kill him before he gains an upper hand.
Novadramon: Not like this. I will not allow it, even if I have to eliminate you brother.
TK: Meanwhile, my brother reunites with our team once again. We head out to Demon's Cavern to find ourselves in another territory set by Saitou's minions.
Kari: We enter Mari the Game Master's territory.
Dorothy: Rules are set that only six humans and five digimon can enter.
Saitou: We're just under an hour away from the time the tunnel opens. Max, let's just see if they can save you in time.
Max: Don't underestimate my family and friends! They will come!
Shintomon: So, that makes it myself, Veemon, Gatomon, Patamon and Terriermon to enter. Davis, Metalla X, Kari, TK, Henry and Dorothy will enter too. Fair enough. We'll win this ridiculous game and pass through.
Henry: Who would have ever thought we'd be playing games before the end of mankind?
Terriermon: Crazier stuff has happened to us before.
Omega X: Is there more to the prophecy said by Lady Moinanea? I supposed to be this 'One' who eventually become a Messiah? But what role does Dark Angel play in this? What is he supposed to do to me, in order to reawaken this Messiah?
Keke: The next episode is entitled…
Enter Mari's Gaming Territory! Omega X's Dilemma with the Elemental Dramon Brothers!
Ryo: What? You mean 'he' is about to emerge in this world? I have to get to those caverns and find out for myself.
Look at all these conflicts! Damn, our heroes are way over their heads. But we have now seen Matt finally even out with Tai as he reaches the fourth level. We're getting closer to the arrival of the last, final monster. I hope you're ready for that one, Ninetalesuk. ((wink)) Not to mention the second round between Tai and Saitou. Will the actual Millenniumon appear? He will but give it time.
If you noticed, I added an interesting twist with this whole prophecy that deals with the events of the entire series, huh? While it has some religious meaning, I am no way a religious person and do not mean to add any of that to my story. It's just a little twist to make my entire series more meaning. Just what will the Messiah look like and how he will appear? You'll just have to continue reading to find out. ((wink))
I hope everyone is having a safe Christmas Eve. Incase I don't post a chapter by tomorrow, I wish everyone a Happy Holiday. Let's hope 2005 will bring bigger things for my D-Fusion series, including its inevitable conclusion. The Pharaohmon series is still going strong and there are many stories I hope to write before my retirement from Happy holidays to all and all a good night!

Christmas had already come and gone. I hope every one of you had a great holiday, but there's still New Years to come. I'll have to think about my New Years Resolutions and I'll be happy to hear yours. In the meantime, now that we're still on vacation, we can move on with the story of my final D-Fusion saga.
Taichi/Omega X proceeds with his duel with Novadramon, but trouble is on the horizon with Eisdramon heading out to the battlefield. Meanwhile, we'll get to see Mari the Game Master at work with her territory. All this and more in chapter nine. Enjoy!
Our four-team band of heroes spread across the globe to snare the missing digicores. Each team battled four powerful monsters, each possessing a digicore piece and an essence of Millenniumon's own negative energy. Four digicores have been collected, but Omega X finds himself in a tight spot as he comes across the toughest monster yet: Novadramon. In old game of cat and mouse, Novadramon and Omega X tested each other's abilities. But it was Novadramon who proved to be formidable. They decided to stop the warm up act and proceed with the serious battle ahead. Novadramon unsheathed his body armor shell to reveal his true radiant form. Omega X ascends straight to his fourth level form.
Unforunately, their battle was interrupted as Omega X felt Keke on the verge of death. He postponed his fight with Novadramon to teleport out to the location where Hideto the Sniper was close to ending Keke's life. However, it was Metalla X who made it there first and ended Hideto's life. Omega X made it but was too late as Metalla X saved Keke. Then it was revealed…
"I too can reach level four digital ascension."
"Since, when?"
"SINCE NOW! HA!"
Much to Omega X's surprise, Metalla X reveals his fourth level form. They proceed to duke it out and it ended in a draw. But the purpose of this short brawl was to test Omega X's conscience and determine if he was ready for the tough challenges ahead. Omega X passed with the test. Metalla X went on to tell about a prophecy told to him by Lady Moinanea about the chain of events that has occurred in their lives since first entering the Digital World. What could this mean for the future events that lie ahead? The leader proceeded to tell Metalla X to take Keke and meet with the others at the lcoation of Demon's Cavern. From there, they would venture into the cavern to stop Saitou from opening the tunnel and save Max in the process. Omega X returned back to continue his fight with Novadramon. Unbeknownst to them, another monster was waiting in the wings: Eisdramon, the cold-blooded brother of Novadramon. If Taichi can barely manage to handle Novadramon, how can we take on two monsters at once? The conflict continues…

Enter Mari's Gaming Territory! Omega X's Dilemma with the Elemental Dramon Brothers!
Miles away from Demon's Cavern
Elsewhere, just many miles across from Demon's Cavern, Shintomon had transported himself and the group party at the area where Demon's Cavern was positioned. The higher digimon chose a spot miles away from the cavern since the barrier around the cavern prohibits any form of teleportation to enter through it. That includes Shintomon's own teleportation.
Sora, Kari and TK looked across to find Metalla X and Keke flying across from the distance. They waved out to the pair.
"Look! There's Matt and Keke!" Sora calls out to the group.
"Great! We're all together again!" TK said.
"Except for my brother. Where is Tai?" Kari wondered. "Hopefully, he gets here soon."
Shintomon gives a nod to everyone to remind them that they would be ready to set off through the forest to Demon's Cavern.
"Taichi. Where ever you maybe, we will need you if we come across Saitou. But for the time being, we'll just have to wing this one out. With Yamato also possessing the ability to ascend to the fourth level, we have a chance. I just hope we aren't too late to save Max… For Taichi's, humanity's and the digital universes' sakes."
"Matt! Keke! We're so glad you two can make it!" Sora waves out to them.
"If only Tai would get here, then we'd be back together as a team," Davis said.
"It's a good thing we left David and Sam with Yolei, Hawkmon and Wormmon back at the hospital," Veemon replied. "They can watch over Ken's body while we take care of this."
"No doubt about it, buddy."
"David's been through enough. So he needs to stay behind," said Sonja. "Plus, I'm sure this is all we need to enter the cavern."
"Well, look who decided to drop by," Metalla X sarcastically blurted out.
"Well, hello to you, too!" Kazu retorted.
"So, shall we proceed onward?" asked Guardromon.
"Ok, listen up, everyone," Shintomon said. "Let's lay out the situation now."
"So far our enemies have number seven. Saitou's accomplices and the four monsters," Dorothy stated. "What a coincidence, huh?"
"Yes, those seven accomplices include Saitou, too. Don't forget," replied Kenta.
"Takuya and his group helped to take down Haze Frogmon to collect a digicore piece," reported Henry. "And Tai defeated Doctor Akira."
"Plus, Kari whooped Lamiamon's butt to gain another digicore piece," Terriermon chuckled. "Nah, maybe I should have taken all the glory."
"Takato and the other Tamers overcame Rage Archaeopteryxmon to gain the third digicore piece," stated TK.
"Just a moment ago, I slain Hideto the Sniper," Metalla X explained.
"My team just came back after beating Necromon and his mega form, Lichidramon," Davis said.
"And we also gained another digicore piece! I'm telling you. We're already winning this conflict!" said Veemon. "Right, Davis?"
"Right!"
"Wrong, Davis. We might have the upper hand, but they have Max captured. There's no telling when they'll use him to open the tunnel," said Shintomon. "If we hope to close it up, we will need the digicores' powers to close it up or defeat Saitou himself."
"Don't forget that Rei Saiba here has defected to our side," Sora pointed to the girl.
"Which means there's only four Spell Casters and three monsters left," said Biyomon.
"Yeah and Tai's already fighting one monster. That leaves two out there in our world," Keke explained. "But I'm sure Max's dad will take care that problem. BW is already on the hunt for another."
"Wait, BW just went after a monster too?!" Henry asked. "Oh, man."
"But that's less work for us," Terriermon replied.
"Then again, if he's in trouble, Takato and Takuya's teams can aid him when need be," Shintomon said.
"First things first! I promised to bring Max back safely and that's what I'm going to do!" Keke exclaimed. "I think they should have reached the cave by now."
"So that's where they are hiding him. It sucks that teleportation doesn't work in there," Metalla X scoffed. "Tai stated he already tried doing it and it failed him."
"My brother's territory is strong. He can even block out the strongest being's teleportation abilities," Rei said. "Not even Tai can use his Time Warp."
"Saitou said himself the tunnel to the Dark Realm would fully be opened within the next two days," stated Shintomon. "That's four whole days sooner than what we firmly believed. My calculations were way off. Gosenzomon had warned me about using calculations."
"How could the hole be opening so quickly?" Lopmon wondered.
"I'd say it's because of my brother, Neo. He has two powers within his ability. He can not only block out teleportation but can also empower the hole to widen."
"Is that right, Rei?"
"Yes, Sora. Come to think of it, my brother did say that things were going faster than expected."
"And just by looking at this city, you can tell," Impmon pointed out to Mushiyori.
"Given the dire situation, and considering they have Max, our only choice is to head out to the cave," Gatomon stated.
"Max now has the ability to cut through dimensions," the higher digimon continued on. "As such, until the phase where the hole is opened all the way and the barrier is cut down, they probably won't kill him."
"Yes, but you're forgetting Sigma is also amongst the enemy," said Rei Saiba.
"Yes. According to what Mr. Oikawa said, there's a good possibility that Sigma will devour Max's ability," Keke said with a nod.
"Actually, Sigma literally eats other people's abilities," Rei explained. "I've seen Sigma eat for myself. It's the most horrible thing I've ever witnessed."
"Yuck! That's gross!" Suzie gagged.
"You can say that again. He actually eats them whole?!" Lopmon asked.
"Ok, I've just lost my lunch," muttered Terriermon.
"When you say 'eat', what specifically does he do?" Metalla X asked.
"He actually consumes them as Lopmon already stated," the girl replied to the warrior. "He swallows the other person's body whole. His territory is inside himself."
"Yuck! He should at least put some mustard, ketchup or some Tabasco sauce!" shrieked Keke.
"So we've got the whole general picture or at least some of it," Metalla X said.
"All right! I don't know about you guys but let's charge our way in!" David popped his knuckles.
"Hold it, you idiot," sighed Dorothy. "We'd better limit the number of people to go."
"That's right. Davis, Veemon, Kari, Gatomon, TK, Patamon, Keke and you Metalla X," Shintomon said. "You guys go in the cave and explore the territory."
"Plus, it wouldn't be wise to increase our numbers in case Saitou springs a trap," said Henry. "Plus, I don't want Suzie put in danger."
"No kidding. It was a good idea to leave Tike and Kara at the hospital with the others," TK said to Kari.
"I agree."
"The rest of us will stay out here to explore the outside of the cavern," said Sora.
"Um, excuse me, but I think I should go to lead them into the cave," Rei raised her hand. "It's like a giant maze in there plus I'm the only one with familiar with it."
"Hmph, can we really trust you?" Metalla X scoffed. "I don't see why we should…"
"I'm… That sweet little boy… Max. I want to at least help him out."
Suddenly, Rei heard footsteps approaching her. She turned to find Sora reaching a hand to her. Rei takes it and receives a warm shake from the redhead adult.
"I trust you, Rei. My son saw the good in your heart and saved you. You don't want to put harm on anyone. Believe me when I say this."
"Sora-san…"
"Hey, if she's cool with Max, then I'm cool with her!" Davis replied with a thumbs up. "Anyone who's friendly with Tai and his son, is a-okay with me!"
"Thank you everyone. I appreciate it," Rei sniffed a tear with a bow.
"Daisuke. Remember not to lose your cool. You and Taichi have the habit of doing that," Shintomon said. "The enemy is certain to come down on you if you do."
"Right! Just leave it us!" Veemon replied.
"When we come back out of that cave, we'll be bringing Saitou along with us," said Davis. "He's going to be already beaten a pulp when we're through with him. He can't take on three fusion warriors at once. Right, guys?"
"Yeah!" Kari and TK exclaimed in unison.
With that said, Davis and Veemon led the team consisting of Kari, Gatomon, TK, Patamon, Metalla X, Keke and Rei Saiba towards the path to Demon's Cavern. They remained stealthy just in case Saitou detects their ki signals. It was probably their wisest choice despite having to take a long walk through the forest.
"Good luck, guys," Sora with a deep sign. "Bring Max back in good hands…"
Outskirts of Major City districts. Abandoned Water Facility
Novadramon had patiently waited. He had assumed a meditation position to conserve his energy. Suddenly, Omega X had returned using his Time Warp teleportation. Without turning back around, Novadramon sits up from his meditation.
"So, Taichi. Did you save the girl?"
"Yeah, but I did have a run-in with Yamato. I hope my power didn't actually weaken after I was dealing with him."
"Yamato? Yes, I felt his power. You and him were very much even in power and strength."
"I'd like to thank you for allowing me to help Keke and her father out."
"Good, because now is time we settle our fight. We shall determine which of us is the better warrior. I will give everything I've got."
"Likewise, Novadramon."
Both warriors raised their ki and sported auras radiating over their bodies. Omega X steps into a battle position just before Novadramon did the same.
"Taichi. I'm ready."
"Good. What do you say we get started?" Omega X said with a grin. "As soon as I beat this guy, he'll give me the digicore and I'll ask him if he can help me to save Max. If this guy is anything like Pikkan and BW, he'll have an honor code. But, first things first. I'm going to give him the honor to fight me one on one."
"Make your first move, Taichi. Or do I get to have that honor?"
"There's no need. Allow me."
(Play Godsmack Awake during battle scene)
As soon as they finished their verbal spout, the two powerful warriors disappeared from their posts. Then, everything seemed calm for a moment… For another moment and another… Until, a loud sonic boom was heard echoing throughout the heavens. The shockwaves from these series of sonic booms caused the surroundings to become crushed under the warriors' power. A pair of lights was flashing across the skies. Omega X flies out through the clouds and rams himself into Novadramon.
The sun-heated dragon flips over Omega X at the last tenth second. Novadramon gets behind Omega X and delivers a spinning wheel kick. Only for the warrior of courage to phase away just barely. Novadramon turns around to find Omega X smashing fists back to his back. The force was enough to send Novadramon plummeting down towards the bottom of a water reservoir. The fire dragon managed to stop himself at the last second. He looks up to find no traces of Omega X at sight. However, he felt vibrations erupting from within thin air. He turned to his right side to spot Omega X throwing out an array of punches. Novadramon counters each punch by swiftly maneuvering each fist thrown.
The warrior brings himself forward and wrapped his arms around the dragon. With one swift motion, Novadramon maneuvered behind Omega X. He forms an orange-red sphere in front of him and concentrated on the energy condensed within it. The condensed ball sends out an array of heat blasts at once.
"Heat Wave Blast!"
Omega X retaliates by waving his hand out and sending out an array of ki-based boomerang blades.
"Blade Disks!"
Each blade disk swiftly took out each heat blast and caused them to fizzle out before hitting their target. Omega X shoots himself across and rams a knee into Novadramon. Little did he realize, Novadramon caught Omega X's knee immediately and pushed him away. Novadramon takes advantage of the warrior and delivers a fist into his face. He follows it up with more punches at Omega X. With Omega X recovering from these blows, Novadramon didn't waste time by throwing out yet another ki sphere and condenses it into an array of heat blasts.
"Heat Wave Blast!"
Omega X immediately shook the 'cobwebs' out and phases out from the fire shots. He reappears on top of a water tower, but he looked up to see Novadramon levitating above him. Omega X quickly sets off from the water tower and uses his Time Warp to escape from sight. This threw Novadramon off his game until he turned around to find Omega X with his hands cupped together.
"TERRA-"
"That trick won't work on me!"
Just as Novadramon was about to direct an attack, Omega X immediately disappears from sight and once again caught Novadramon off guard. The warrior reappears directly in front of the dragon and sends out a powerful force of his attack.
"BEAM!"
Novadramon screamed out once the attack made its mark. The dragon struggled to break free from the predicament while the attack was sending him sailing across. Omega X waited patiently until the right opportunity. He gave himself a countdown to five seconds.
"Five. Four. Three. Two. One. NOW!"
Omega X used his Time Warp to immediately reappear behind Novadramon, who was still being pushed back by the attack. The warrior puts his right hand over his head and concentrated to form a energy disc.
"ENERGY DISC!"
Omega X sends out the deadly energy disc, as it flew across like a saw. The disc was aiming right for Novadramon's torso. The dragon saw the attack coming and struggles to break himself free. Omega X looks on in anticipation to watch his enemy's immediate demise. Novadramon saw through to his strategy and pushes himself away from the Terra Beam attack. The energy disc slices through the blast in half. The disc exploded in impact while the two blasts slammed into the earth below. Both blasts had caused great damage to the abandoned water facility while leaving two massive craters at its wake.
Omega X was not too surprised to see Novadramon countering his attacks. The fire dragon smirked and shot himself across towards Omega X. Both warriors resumed their head on collision with fists thrown at rapid speed. Neither one was going to give out. They weren't losing any steam or fatigue. However, only one of them would be considered the victor of this battle. Novadramon was determined to defeat Omega X in order to fulfill his destiny and become an important Digi-Universal historical figure. He wants to be revered and notorious for slaying the great Omega X. On the other hand, Omega X sets to gain the digicore from Novadramon and save his son from Saitou's dark hand.
(Awakefades slowlyin the BG)
"Yes, he's definitely better than I heard. No, he's fantastic," Novadramon thought.
"Novadramon's proving to be quite the challenge. Even as a level four warrior, Novadramon is giving me a great struggle for my life. This is exactly what I needed. Makes me wonder if the last two monsters are as strong or even greater than he is."
At the last split second, both warriors collided and slammed fists into each other's faces. They both moved away from each other and were heavily panting. Their blows had started to take a toll on their bodies. Omega X rubbed his hands from the burns he received while his fists slammed against Novadramon's hot skin. Meanwhile, Novadramon rubbed his face to wipe the blood from his mouth.
"That was really good, Taichi. You're better than I thought."
"Likewise. How about we continue this ordeal? If it's okay with you."
"As long as we're willing to continue, then by all means let us continue. I will not rest until I have claimed victory."
"I can say the same, Novadramon. Let's go!"
(Awake rises once again during continuing battle scene)
With that said, the two powerful warrior directed energy blasts towards each other. The blasts hit their mark and caused an enormous eruption that spread across the water facility itself. They had caused a tremendous impact to result in the destruction of the facility itself. The warriors remained at a standstill with their energy blasts struggling. Once they phased away, the blasts collided to detonate with each other simultaneously.
Now, they were back to throwing punches towards one another within the heavens. Each blow caused tremendous sonic booms and reactions across Earth's atmosphere. Novadramon sends out a fire blast, which Omega X managed to barely move away from. This gave the dragon an advantage as he applied a headlock on the warrior. He proceeded to put the tight squeeze on his adversary and tosses an energy shot in his face. The blast sends Omega X sailing backwards across a far off oil tower. The warrior slammed into the concrete wall. He struggled to lift his head after the devastating impact and saw Novadramon levitating in front of him.
"Now, Taichi. You end here!"
Novadramon flies out backwards and puts his hands out in front. A fiery energy ball was forming and Omega X let out a gasp in horror. Once the blast came towards him, the warrior phases out and allows the blast to destroy the oil tower in the process. The tower structure exploded with a fuel and oil spreading across the now dead landscape. Omega X appears behind Novadramon but was immediately caught off guard once Novadramon phased out. Omega X sends out an energy blast towards his right direction but misses to hit Novadramon. The process repeated for a few seconds until Novadramon came behind the warrior. They quickly put each other's hands across their faces. They stopped to think about what they were set to do next.
"Impressive, Novdramon. Looks like you have the advantage on speed."
"So it would seem."
"However, I've got edge on power! Take this!"
With that said, Omega X delivers a head butt across Novadramon's face. The dragon was sent sailing across the smoke clouds. The warrior took advantage of this and cupped his hands together to gather enough energy for his ultimate attack.
"Now, rest in pieces! TIMES TEN TERRA-"
Novadramon immediately opened his eyes and saw through to his strategy. He disappears from sight and reappears at Omega X, who was caught off guard by his adversary's speed.
"BEA-"
"Too slow, Taichi!"
The dragon pushes Omega X backwards and forces him to send the massive blast towards the water tower. The colliding blast destroyed the water tower within a second and caused water to fly out across the skies.
"Taichi. When you condense the ki for your Terra Beam into their palms, you stall momentarily. With my speed, I'm much quicker than you ever will be."
"Well, you got me there, Novadramon. On second thought, how about this? TE-"
Omega X quickly phases out from sight and reappears across towards his right direction.
"RRA…"
Novadramon manages to follow along to every direction Omega X takes using his teleportation technique.
"BE-"
This wasn't exactly what Omega X was hoping since he was planning to catch the dragon off guard. Novadramon remained still as a statue with Omega X phasing around across his surroundings. He waited patiently for Omega X to make his next maneuver. He puts out a hand to his left corner and sends an energy blast.
"Right there!"
The dragon was correct on his timing as the blast nailed Omega X on impact. The force was enough to send the warrior of courage plummeting through a canyon wall. The canyon itself crumbled from the impact and caused the walls to cave in. Omega X became buried underneath the piles of rock rubble. However, he used some of his strength to push himself out through the rubble.
"Damn! He really is fast! My Terra Beam isn't even quick enough!"
Just then, Omega X looked up to find a fire blast coming down at him like a missile. He flips across from the target area and watches as the blast explodes through the ground. Novadramon was diving down towards his adversary and ready to finish him off.
"Get ready for some more, Taichi!"
"Whoa! Hold on! Let me rest for a minute, buddy!"
(End theme)
As soon as he said that, Omega X found an underground tunnel and dives down towards it. The dragon was immediately hot on his trail. Once he made it down into the underground, man-made tunnel, Novadramon walked across the dark passageway in search of his enemy. He tracked down Omega X's ki but to no avail. He was forced to resort to using his sight. Suddenly, a figure had caught glimpse of Novadramon's sight. He looked across to find Omega X kneeling at a corner and in a position to fire his Terra Beam.
"Fool! Don't you realize that your Terra Beam is useless?!"
He sends out another fire blast and makes a direct hit onto Omega X. Just as he was on the verge of sending more energy; glass shattered and caught Novadramon off guard.
"What's this?!"
Novadramon had just realized that he had been fouled by a reflection of his adversary. He was literally deceived by the sneaky warrior. Suddenly, he heard a childish like laughter and felt a hand being set on his back head. It looked as though Omega X was set to finish the monster off.
"The fight is over."
"Smart tactic, Taichi. Not only are you notorious for being thickheaded but also a genius in combat. That mirror was one hell of a trick. Even I was caught off guard."
"Heh, never thought that trick would work on you. Just call me lucky."
"You've beaten me, Taichi. Go ahead and kill me."
However, Omega X had different ideas and put a hand onto the dragon's right shoulder. Novadramon was caught off guard by this kind gesture.
"What are you doing?"
"Thank you, Novadramon."
"For what?"
"For not killing my wife and the others when you attacked me. I had a feeling you were only after me. You're giving me one hell of an honorable fight."
"I don't kill women and children."
"I can tell. It's good to see a monster with a kind gesture," Omega X mused. "Your other brethren never carried an honor code like you. You're better than any one of them."
The two warriors phased out from the underground tunnel and sped through the surface using their sonic speed. They reappeared in the heavens with another stare down.
"We're evenly matched, Novadramon. Now we can kick each other's asses for all we want. Now, come on!" Omega X said.
He gets into a fighting stance and puts his hand forward. Novadramon watched as Omega X did a 'Bring it' gesture. The dragon created yet another energy shot from his palms. Omega X prepared by cupping his palms for yet another Times Ten Terra Beam. Novadramon shoots out the blast across.
Suddenly, another blast came hurtling past Novadramon's shot. This energy was composed of ice blue ki energy. Omega X was quick to spot this and caught off guard with two shots being directed towards him. The ice blast shot Omega X and froze his right hand into solid ice. The fire blast went right past the warrior.
"What the hell is this?! How did my hand just turn to ice?!"
"Huh? That's not my attack," Novadramon whispered.
The dragon turned around to find the ice-elemental dramon perched on top of another water tower. This one looked exactly like Novadramon, with the gargoyle body and wings. Except this one had a skin pigmentation of ice blue and his body temperature was below zero.
"Ah! Brother?!" Novadramon blurted out.
"Did you just say brother?!"
The ice monster identified as Eisdramon was now staring the warriors down. Omega X was definitely stuck in a tight pinch with two monsters. Would he have to fight them both at once? One was enough but two is too overwhelming for even Omega X. His fate could very well be sealed.
"Novadramon. You'd better have an explanation for this," growled Omega X.
Outside/Within Demon's Cavern
Finally, after a long walk through the forest, Davis' group made it through. The cavern looked like an abandoned coalmine shaft. There was a Keep Out sign at the entrance but that certainly wasn't going to prevent them from entering through. This cave is infamous of harboring 'demons' who emerge late at night to feast on any unsuspecting hiker or camper. Though, those were just urban legends but the tunnel is certainly no make believe story.
"Look there's the hovercraft where they took Max hostage," said Keke. "I can remember just by looking at it. They're definitely here!"
"Yes. Saitou and the others are inside this cave," Rei explained.
"So, this is the entrance to Hell itself, huh?" Metalla X wondered. "This doesn't look like anything much."
"How long will it take for us to reach Neo?" Kari asked Rei.
"As long as we stay alert while walking, I think it could take us about two hours."
"Great, but we should also make it hasty but don't set off any strong ki along the way guys," Davis said with excitement in his voice.
"That also depends if nothing gets in our way," sighed Rei.
"So are we ready?!"
"You don't even need to ask, bonehead," said Metalla X.
The group started onward through the entrance into the dark caverns. There was little light to help guide them through, but digimon can simply sniff out scent recently left by Saitou's group including that of Max's scent. They suddenly came upon two passageways.
"We take the right side," Rei pointed to a right passageway.
"Hang on a second, guys. Allow me to assist you," Gatomon said.
The feline takes out several marbles and tosses one across on the ground. The group wondered what the purpose of the marble was for. Their questions were answered once the marble shone off a bright light.
"Whoa! Cool! What are those, Gatomon?" Davis asked.
"It's a Hikari stone," Gatomon said. "A very rare emerald I found while we were at Seraphimon's castle when we met Takuya's group."
"They're very pretty," Kari replied.
"These will mark the way back," Gatomon stated. "Though I'll have to take them back up since they are rare items."
"Well, that's assuming we do make it back," said Metalla X.
"Ha, I guess so," the feline giggled.
After laying the Hikari stone, the group used the emerald's light to way through the caverns. They once again stumbled across two more passageways.
"Now, we take this right way," Rei stated.
"Damn, this is really like a maze," Davis cursed. "It's a good thing we're using those Hikari stones."
"Why do I get the feeling once those stones lose their luster, then we're stuck in here?" Veemon deeply sighed.
"No, it's okay. We're going to make it out of here," Rei assured the blue dragon rookie.
"Let's continue on everyone," TK said.
They started onward towards the right passage with the emeralds' light guiding them.
"We'll be stopping at another cavern. It's right about halfway," said Rei.
Just then, the girl felt a disturbing presence and jumps out in front of them. The group wondered why all of a sudden she would jump out of warning.
"Wait a second, guys!"
"What's up? Why are we stopping?" wondered Keke.
"This is rather strange. That door wasn't here before!"
As Rei pointed out across, they saw a large metal door standing in their way. It was silver and had the letter 'G' printed on the front. It seemed she didn't expect it to be constructed in such short notice. The group walked forward to examine it closely.
"A doorway? Is this your brother's doing?" asked Kari.
"No. Neo can't move until the hole is completely opened. We're only halfway to the center of the hole."
Davis looks across at the door and rubbed his chin. There was something very familiar to Davis about the doorway and it's structure.
"Hmmm, that's funny. I could have sworn I've seen this before."
"What it is, Davis?"
"Something I may have seen before. As in a video game…"
"Davis. I've lost count on the many video games you've played since I first met you. Which one are you referring to?"
"No, wait. I've seen it too," TK pointed to the door. "Tike and Kara would know something about this also."
"It couldn't have been all those Sonic and Mario games I've played!" Davis exclaimed. "Or Final Fantasy for that matter… But it was a sort of RPG."
"So what is it, genius?" Metalla X sighed.
"I just can't remember, but I've seen it before!"
"Gee, Davis really needs a life if he still plays vide games," said Keke.
"Don't deny it, I see you play games time to time," Metalla X chuckled.
"Aw, dad. You weren't even supposed to know!"
"But I know it had a capital 'G' on the front door!" said Davis.
"Welcome to Devilman City! You thirteen are the chosen warriors!" a voice speaking out from behind the door calls out. "Come restore peace to the great city, you must defeat the evil warlord known as the Devil King!"
"Thought it was supposed to be eleven?" Davis wondered. "I guess the rules changed."
"Game battle?!" TK exclaimed.
"What?! Yeah, I remember now! Hey, TK. You've played this before right?"
"Many years ago. It was the top selling game in the country for three years!"
"This is the game battler opening!" Davis shouted. "Whoa! I'm reliving my childhood!"
"Yeah! You and I used to play this everyday, Davish."
"Game battler? What the heck are you guys talking about?" Metalla X asked.
"Like we said, it was once the top selling game in the country for three years," TK explained.
"It had everything you could think about in one game," Patamon replied. "Devilman's Game Battler…"
"That's right," Davis said. "It was a new type of game, where you must defeat the Devilman King, who mastered every form of game genre, and restore peace to the city he rules over."
"When we mean everything. I mean everything," TK continued on. "Sports, hand to hand combat, RPGs, first-person shooting games, DDRs, quizzes, mind boggling puzzles… He'll challenge you to all types of games. You must win four of the seven games the Devilman proposes."
"Wicked, but what would a door of the game be doing here?" Keke wondered. "Doesn't make sense…"
"Wait… Mari… Game Master…?" Rei muttered.
"Welcome to my territory, challengers!"
"Ack, that screechy, annoying voice could only mean… Mari Goutokuji," Rei growled.
"Since you entered my territory, you must follow the game's scenario."
"In Mari's territory, she can take any game and make it materialize in life-size. Plus, there's more to it. Anything that doesn't have anything to do with the game cannot enter the territory."
"So, I can't just blast the damn door down?" Metalla X cursed.
"No you can't. No matter how strong you are in your fourth level form, even the most destructive blast won't destroy the territory," Rei explained.
"So that means we're breaking in here as characters of the game?" asked Kari.
"Now, I don't know how many of you guys are out there, but there must be thirteen chosen warriors."
"Bah, you dumbass! We're more than enough alone! Besides, there's supposed to be eleven! Not thirteen!" Davis blurted out.
"You'll have to lower your tone of voice to me, mister. Plus, that number won't do. I've changed some of the rules within my territory."
"Look, guys. If we're to enter into Mari's territory, we have to obey her rules."
"Which means we can't go any further unless they are thirteen of us," Gatomon said.
"That's right. Otherwise, the door will not open."
"Hey! We heard you the first time! So zip it!" Davis growled. "Damn, we'll just have to go back and ask four more guys to come with us. But I hate walking all the way back."
"Don't worry. I'll just fly over there but keep my ki down," Keke said. "You leave the hard work with me."
"Unfortunately, that means they've also perceived our intent to fight as a small, elite group," sighed TK.
"That's why you can leave this to me," Keke said. "Don't worry. I'll convince three more members to join us!"
"Ok, but make sure to get back quickly," Kari said. "Make sure to lower you ki so Saitou doesn't detect you."
"Right. I'll be back, guys!"
With that said, Keke levitates off the ground and takes off through the caverns. The Hikari stones guided her as a way out of the dark caverns.
"Damn this is just what we needed. Detours," Metalla X cursed in thought. "Keep cool. You can't go recklessly smashing things down at random."
Abandoned Water Facility/Wasteland
Back at the hostile battlegrounds of the former water facility, which has now been reduced to near rubble, a dire situation was looming for Omega X. Having his right hand frozen by Eisdramon's sneak attack, the warrior was stuck to perhaps battling two powerful monsters at once.
"Ah, you are as soft as ever, Novadramon," Eisdramon spoke in a vile and ice-cold manner.
"Don't interfere, brother!"
"Whoa! You two are actually siblings?!"
"Yes, that is my older brother, Eisdramon. The other four were my brethren but Eisdramon is my only family."
"You mean to tell me that monsters created from out of Millenniumon's essence have siblings?! Now, I've heard everything!" Omega X exclaimed. "Wait, till I tell Kari, TK and Matt about this. I am stunned to hear this!"
"Are you Taichi Kamiya, warrior?"
"Yeah?! You planning to write a damn book about me?!"
"I just ran into one of your comrades. I think his name was BW?"
"What did you do to him?!"
"Oh, he's somewhere chilling out. Seriously, I just froze him up with my powers and left him perhaps for dead."
"Damn you… How could you?! You caught him off guard!"
"Hey, it's the only way to defeat your opponent, Taichi. I thought every enemy you've ever faced has already told you that already."
"Yes and they've all been defeated before. You're next on the hit list, asshole!" Omega X shouted at the ice dragon.
"Oh, did I also forget to mention…"
With that said, Eisdramon lowered his eyes towards the ruins to point towards a fallen tiny white creature. Omega X looked down to find Calumon lying on the ground with bruises on his body.
"Calumon!"
Omega X dives down towards the ruins. The tiny digimon struggled to make it on his feet. He scooped Calumon into his arms and wiped the tears from his innocent child-like eyes.
"Calumon… What are you doing here?! You're supposed to be with Davis' group!"
"As soon as Daisuke's group defeated Lichidramon and set back to Odaiba, I caught this little twerp unbeknownst to them. Calumon did say he was going off to find Takato's group and that's where I took advantage to grab him. Not even Daisuke and the others saw me coming. They probably think their friend was going to make it to Takato's group in short peace. Eh-eh. Not as long as I'm around. I've made a pretty good catch if I do say so myself."
"Brother. How dare you do this!"
"Oh, come now. What do you say we eat him after we dispose of Taichi?"
"I don't lower himself to your standards. I don't eat or kill children."
"Feh, you're no fun, little brother."
Omega X had heard enough from the icy dragon and set his sights directly onto Eisdramon. His eyes became fueled with rage.
"How dare you do this to helpless Calumon!?"
Eisdramon didn't take kindly to this and dives down to attack Omega X head on. However, Novadramon had different ideas and stood in between the two. The ice dragon was shocked to see his sibling standing against him.
"Don't do anything uncalled for, little brother!"
"I'm the one who's fighting Taichi!"
"Stand aside. Watching the way you two fight disgusts me."
With that said, Eisdramon phases past Novadramon and reappears in front of Omega X. He directly puts his hand out and sends out an invisible force to knock back Omega X, who held Calumon with dear life.
"Evening the score, my ass," scoffed Eisdramon. "This isn't a game we're playing here. Dark Angel wants you dead, Taichi. Understand me, Novadramon?!"
"Shut up! You don't get it, brother! That's the way I fight!"
"You're delusional. As if there were ways of fighting! It's all about whether you beat them or get beaten."
Eisdramon sends out another blast, which Omega X managed to phase away from. However, the blast exploded to where Calumon was lying. The tiny digimon was sent rolling across the dirt.
"NO! CALUMON!"
"See? This is what happens when you get careless," laughed Eisdramon.
The ice dragon shoots out a tiny set of beams through his eyes and directly marks it over Omega X's left arm. The warrior cried out as he watched his left arm being covered by solid ice. He struggled to hold his frozen arms. Eisdramon laughed on at his handicapped adversary.
"Now you can't use either hand," Eisdramon chuckled.
The cold-hearted dragon flies across at the handicapped Omega X and proceeds to pound him away. Each fist was being hammered directly across the warrior's body. Novadramon watched as he was disapproving of his brother's cowardly yet desperate antics.
"Ah! There! There! What's the matter, Taichi?!"
As Eisdramon was beginning to laugh, Omega X saw through to an opening and shoved his right foot into his mouth. The ice dragon simply looked ridiculous with a foot in his mouth.
"Damn, shut up already! Listening to your laughter was already starting to annoy me!" Omega X growled. "Ha, look. How embarrassing for you, Eisdramon. My feet are all I need to take you out!"
Omega X proceeded to throw out an array of kicks at his adversary, which did more damage to the dragon. He sends out one nasty kick into Eisdramon's chest. He is then sent skidding across the wasteland. Eisdramon managed to recover after a moment and smiled in delight.
"Your feet are a nuisance too, aren't they?"
"What?!"
Eisdramon shoots out another eye beam to freeze Omega X's right leg. The warrior panicked while struggling to maintain balance.
"Now for the left one."
As easy as that, the dragon used his powers to freeze Omega X's right leg. Omega X looked down as nearly half of his body was already turned into solid ice.
"Damn! This sucks!"
"Now your belly and chest."
Eisdramon fires another eye beam to freeze up his adversary's chest and belly.
"Finally, your head."
At last, Eisdramon had completed his latest ice sculpture and looks across at the ice-covered Omega X. The warrior was unable to move or even utter a single word since he has now become another victim of Eisdramon's trickery.
"What a piece of crap of a sculpture," snickered Eisdramon. "Quite frankly, you're a botched work, Taichi. See that, Novadramon? This is what fighting should be."
Novadramon seethed angrily at his brother's cowardly antics. However, unbeknownst to Eisdramon, the telepathic mind of the warrior was still functioning.
"Damn… Even with my level four power, I can't even budge an inch."
"Now then. We should destroy botched works. Novadramon. It's time. Finish him off."
"What's that?!"
"As you can see, Taichi Kamiya is frozen solid, and can't even move the slightest finger movement. If you hit him now with your finishing move, the Heat Wave Blast, his body will be blown to pieces."
Novadramon remained frozen for a moment without responding to his brother's demands.
"Well, what's the matter? I'm giving you the honors!"
"No! I don't want to win this way! I can't finish someone who can't fight back!"
Eisdramon had a disappointed look across his face. It was obvious he was already sickened with Novadramon's true warrior spirit.
"Brother! If you hadn't interfered in the first place, I would have already won! Using pure techniques!"
The ice dragon started approaching Novadramon with a calm demeanor.
"With my own power!"
Eisdramon got directly into Novadramon and could only respond with three words.
"You're a dumbass."
The ice dragon punches Novadramon in the gut and kicks him hard across the face. Novadramon fell to his knees in order to recover from his older brother's deafening blows.
"That's enough out of you! You were made out of Millenniumon's essence just like me. You ought to stop spouting such childish rubbish!"
Eisdramon went about delivering punches across Novadramon's face and flies up to slam his fists across his back. The deafening blow sent Novadramon skidding across the wasteland. He lands face first on the ground. Eisdramon lands down over his fallen brother.
"You're pathetic. I am ashamed when I think that you are my younger brother. I will cure you of this nonsense you believe in."
With that said, Eisdramon hoists his young sibling onto his feet.
"Now! Show me that you are my brother! Kill Taichi…"
While pushing Novadramon across, the ice dragon watches on with a grin. Novadramon came face to face with the ice-covered Omega X.
"Now, little brother!"
"I understand…"
Once putting his hands out, Novadramon gathered his fiery ki to form a deadly sphere. Eisdramon looks on and knew exactly which attack his brother was preparing to use. Omega X could only look on helplessly inside of the ice cube. Novadramon held his attack out and was set to unleash an array of blasts at once.
"Novadramon!"
Novadramon was hesitant at first and somehow looked to be restraining. The ice dragon was impatiently waiting and blurted out to his brother.
"Come one, do it already!"
"Now! Heat Wave Blast!"
The ice contained Omega X couldn't even move and had no choice but to watch the blast aim for him. The fate of our hero could very well be sealed. Eisdramon would actually take all of the glory from his brother's hard work.
Minutes Later. Inside Demon's Cavern
As minutes fly by, the group left behind awaited for Keke's arrival. Metalla X was sitting at a corner on a rock while Davis found an empty soda can lying on the ground. He twirled it around with his foot until he accidentally caused it to tip over. This caught Metalla X's attention, which caused the warrior to narrow his eyes coldly at the brash goggle head.
"Whoops! Heh, sorry!"
The digimon turned around to find four figures emerging through the caverns. Keke returned back with Henry, Terriermon, Dorothy and Shintomon to accompany them.
"Hey, now that's what I'm talking about!" Davis exclaimed. "Now we can enter the territory without any problems!"
"Do you guys happen to be familiar with this setting?" TK pointed to the door.
"Hmmm, that door looks familiar," Henry said while squinting his eyes towards it.
"As soon you guys said there would be games, I just couldn't resist. Heh. Heh," Terriermon chuckled evilly.
"Well, it looks like we're caught moving at their speed," Shintomon said. "Incredible…"
"Ok, Ms. Ego! We have thirteen members on our team," Davis calls out to the door.
As soon as he said that, some old school video game music started to play behind the doors. The announcer's voice came blurted out.
"Welcome to Devilman City! You thirteen are the chosen warriors! To restore peace to this once beloved city, you must defeat the Devilman King!"
Once the announcer finished, the door started to open up to reveal a bright light scattering across the dark caverns. It was almost as if they were entering the gates of heaven. However, in this case, it was the doorway to video game heaven for Davis. The group found themselves inside a metallic room with a slot machine at one corner and jumbo screen TV at the center of the room. There was a joystick set near the TV itself where games could be played.
"Geez, am I in heaven or what?" Davis wondered.
"What is this place?!" wondered Kari.
"Welcome to my territory, challengers," an arrogant female voice calls out. "Looks like you finally have thirteen people together!"
The group immediately turned to the voice source to see a mid-age teenage girl sitting on a throne. The spotlight hits her and reveals herself.
"I was getting tired of waiting for you, losers."
"That's Mari?!" Davis asked. "That chick?!"
"And what's the matter with that? I'm quite attractive for my age."
Underneath the hood, the girl had light blue eyes with snake-like irises. Her hair was blonde with two pigtails attached at each side of her head. Her body was mainly covered by a purple cloak underneath and can't really tell what wardrobe she is currently wearing.
"Now, how about we get started with some fun games?" Mari chuckled.
Deep past the territory. Center of the Cavern
The environment was not just cryptic but very calm at the moment. The rocks around the center were orange with a calm pond at the center. Within the center of the pond was a boat where Neo Saiba was meditating to open the tunnel. The tunnel was behind Neo and harboring pitch darkness. At another corner, Sigma was sitting next Max, who was still kept inside the crimson barrier. Last, but not least, Saitou was sitting on a red couch and watched a television.
"You know, Mr. Saitou, to think that the hole is expanding as fast as this… I can't believe it myself."
"Neo, there's no need to overexert yourself," replied the Dark Angel. "Mari went to go play some games with Taichi's friends, after all. Plus, Taichi is already in a tight pinch with the last remaining monsters. We still have plenty of time left."
"I'm not overexerting myself, Mr. Saitou. "It's already expanding on it's own."
The tunnel now was starting to come flooded with digital creatures from beyond. Several viral types pressed themselves against the outside barrier in hopes of breaking through.
"You guys are morons! My dad's friends are here already!" Max cried out. "Then, my dad will take care of those monsters and be here before you know it! He's going to wipe the floor with each and every one of you! Do you hear-"
The boy was immediately cut off as Sigma put more power within the barrier. Max screamed out with more voltage surging through his body. The masked boy stopped the pressure.
"I'm going to have my dad cut through this barrier and use my ki to cut you up into ground beef!" Max hissed.
"Ha. After I encased you in this barrier, what are you going on about?" Sigma smiled sheepishly.
"Shut it! My guard was down at that time! But once dad and the others get here. They'll-"
"I'm afraid that won't be possible," said Saitou.
"Huh? What are you saying?!"
"Mari is the Game Master. There is not a person around that can beat her at Devilman's Game Battler inside her territory."
"Game?!" Max exclaimed before going into inner thought. "Are they any good at playing video games? I know dad's decent but the others?"
Mari's Territory
The group was discussing their strategies but not long before Kari asked a question pertaining to the game.
"So, how do you exactly play this Devilman's Game Battler?" Kari asked.
"Geez, Kari. You really don't know much about video games, do you?" Davis scoffed. "You see that slot machine there?"
"Yeah, what's it for? Definitely not gambling."
"No, they use it pick the game type and level," said Veemon.
"One of us plays one game against one opponent," Dorothy suggested.
"Right. That's a good idea," said Henry. "Whoever wins four games first wins."
After filing her nails, Mari lets out a yawn and taps her foot impatiently.
"As an old hedgehog used to say, I'm waaaiiiting!"
"Don't you go ripping off the great Sonic, missy!" Terriermon snapped. "He's a cult hero in video games!"
"Whatever. So, are you guys ready? Hurry up, or the slot machine will start spinning!"
"Damn! Give us a second, would you?!" Davis growled as a vein was popping out of his forehead.
"But aren't you guys in a hurry, too?" Mari sighed. "Go walking around mindlessly like zombies and I won't fight you!"
"That little bit-" Davis seethed while clenching his teeth.
"She kind of reminds me of Mimi only a little more pushier," sighed Metalla X.
"No way! At least, mom has a better fashion sense," Keke said.
"Ok, let me get this straight. If the real Devilman King were a girl, that's what she would like to be," Henry spoke up.
"Let's not worry about that now and come up with a strategy," said Dorothy.
"Ok, now. First of all, which one of you guys had any experience with this game?" TK asked.
"Oh! Me! Me!" Davis blurted out. "Veemon and I have played this endlessly!"
"Same goes for me," Patamon yawned.
"I've played it before," said Henry. "Plus, Terriermon's already beaten my record during the first week."
"Hey, I can't help if I'm good. Cause I'm The Game!" Terriermon snickered. "And I'm not talking about Triple H either."
"I'll be honest. I've played it too," Rei said with a blush.
"You don't have to be embarrassed, Rei. I've played a lot of video games, too," Keke said while patting Rei's back. "I've played some of that game before."
"Well, including me, that's eight of us," TK said with a nod.
"Don't forget me. Yes, us, genuises need a break from time to time," Dorothy said.
"Ok, that's nine," TK finished.
"And me too!" Shintomon blurted out.
Davis and Veemon immediately spun around to face Shintomon with a shocked expression. Their mouths were gaping open. They never thought a higher digimon would even find the time to play video games.
"Shintomon?! No way! You've played this before?!" asked Davis.
"Never thought you had the time for games," Veemon said.
"What? You think I'd be sitting on my butt all day watching the digital worlds all day? Heck no. I need something to do in my spare time."
"Ok, next question. Have any of you guys ever made it to the ending?" TK asked the group.
"Heh. Well, Veemon and I only made it halfway through," Davis snickered.
"Same goes for me," sighed Terriermon. "I can't even get past the quizzes and puzzles."
"I made it to the end once," Shintomon replied.
"No kidding, Shintomon?!" Davis, Terriermon and Veemon cried out.
The higher digimon gives a bow to the trio.
"Wow, he really must be a bad ass in the games," Keke said.
"I can beat the game seven or eight times out of ten," Henry said. "Even though Terriermon still gets the higher scores."
"Heh, can't beat my record, Henry."
"But I've gone further than you have."
"Shucks, you got me there."
"Assuming that I'm playing against the regular Devilman King," Henry turned his attention to Dorothy.
"Unfortunately, I fare the same fate," Dorothy replied.
"And I've only made it through halfway," TK stated.
"Geez! You guys are all awesome!" Davis said.
"But, Henry does have a point," Kari replied. "Mari has to be tougher than the actual Devilman King."
"Yeah, and there's no reason why he would have chosen this game otherwise, huh?" wondered Henry.
"It'd be best if we can at least win three games in a row before we face the Devilman King… err Queen in this case," suggested Gatomon.
"Judges? Bzzt! Time's up! I'm going to spin the slot machine!"
"Go ahead then," TK said.
"So it comes down to Lord Shintomon, Rei Saiba, Takeru, Davis, Terriermon, Patamon, Veemon, and Keke," Kari said. "Ok, this counts me and Gatomon out. We have no knowledge on this game."
"Count me out as well. I have interest in this," Metalla X yawned. "We'll let you gamers handle this."
"You guys will have to win at least three times for us," said Gatomon. "Don't you screw up and use whatever knowledge you might have."
"After that, Henry and myself will do what we can to win," said Dorothy.
"Right!"
"All right! Slot start!"
Mari steps off from her throne and pulls the lever on the slot machine. Now, the three slots were randomly spinning. The crew watched on as the first slot stopped on 'Sports', 'Soccer', 'Level 7'.
"Well, looky here! Soccer is the first game!"
"Hell, yeah! Let me at this! I was a freaking soccer coach at one time!" Davis said while pulling back his sleeves. "Let me at this one!"
"No wait. Let me have this shot," Rei said. "I was a good soccer player before my accident."
"Aw, but I wanted a shot."
"Remember what they say, ladies first," TK snickered.
"Ok, Rei. You can take it."
"Arigato, Daisuke-san."
Suddenly, a puff of smoke appears at Mari's side to reveal a Minotaurmon. The beast digimon flexed his built body before Mari started speaking again.
"Oh by the way, this Minotaurmon's level is set the same as the game's level," Mari informed the group. "Isn't that just great? Now then… Let's have a good time of it. There are thirteen of you after all."
Outside of Demon's Cavern
The rest of the group was left behind outside the cavern. Suzie, Lopmon, Sora, Biyomon, Impmon, Sonja, Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta and Marine Angemon were waiting for their teammates to complete their mission. Sora walked across back and forth impatiently.
"What's this?! They only need thirteen people?!" Sora snapped. "They could have brought me alone since it's my son in there!"
"In the end, we get left out here," sighed Biyomon.
"Hey, just be glad you're taking a time to breath, lady," Impmon exclaimed. "Your boy will be just fine, ka-peesh?"
"Ka-peesh nothing!"
"You know you've got to wonder what X is up to. He's been gone for quite a while," said Biyomon.
"You've got a point. Oh, X. Whatever you're doing now couldn't be anymore important than this," Sora cries out to the heavens.
? Rumored to be the center of the Four Digital World Domains
Inside a dark and illustrious room within the inner chambers of a holy domain, X was seen kneeling before an individual. Kneeling beside him was a girl with long pinkish blonde hair. This was the older version of Keke, who was brought in from another alternate dimension of another time. He seemed to be showing a sign of respect to this 'higher power', which he has spoken of since being brought in to the Holy Realm. The figure was seemingly transparent with a golden, serpent-like body and a dragon's head. Its yellow eyes were laid down upon X but at the same time kept himself hidden.
The beast spoke up in a loud and thunderous god-like voice, which even spread chills down the back of the masked man.
"What is it, X?"
"Yes, there is something I wish to discuss with you."
"You mean concerning the rogue actions of Saitou, your former Holy Realm apprentice?"
"Yes, my lord," X said. "I wish to obtain your permission for something in regards to that matter, your honor."
"My permission?"
"Yes, if you please…"
"X? Are you sure about this?" the older Keke whispered.
"Let me think about this, X. You haven't exactly been true on your word after you intervened with Taichi Kamiya's assignments by getting involved in the case with Doctor Akira. You're not even supposed to be allowed to take any physical action. The consequences of that happening again will result you and your fellow spiritual guides to lose their bodies. Your souls will then be sent to Realm of Dreams where they shall rest for eternity. But, I'm willing to let this one slide for once."
"Thank you."
"Give me a little time to think this over."
"Are you wish…"
Mari's Territory
Rei Saiba stood across at the front TV screen and watched an image appear. A doorway similar to the one that stood in their way opened up to reveal a logo entitled Super Battle Soccer. Rei steps forward until she turned to hear Mari giggling to herself.
"Nice to see you again, Rei-chan."
"Mari…"
"Mr. Saitou was right about you. Sure enough, you would eventually betray us. Aw, what would your big brother think about you now, kiddo?"
Mari takes a seat at her throne and crosses her legs over.
"Or who knows? Maybe you're just pretending to betray us, but in any case, you're deceiving your new friends. If that's the case, it's quite admirable. I'll have to give you more credit, Rei."
"Mari, do me a favor and shut up."
"Oh, a feisty one!"
Rei Saiba puts her hand around the joystick and checks over the control station. She looks to her left side to find Minotaurmon approaching her by flexing.
"Here's the deal, kid. We're going to have singles matches. First to win three goals wins the match. Let's have ourselves a good game."
The Minotaurmon extends a handshake to Rei, who kindly gives him one. The screen displays a CG graphic of herself and Minotaurmon on a soccer field. Rei was wearing a red uniform with black cleats while Minotaurmon wore a blue soccer uniform.
"Go kick some ass, Rei!" Davis exclaimed.
"I hope she can win us a match. Otherwise, we'll never get out of here," replied TK.
(Play FF7 Chocobo Race theme)
Once the game was eventually started, Rei found herself mysteriously pulled into the game itself. She saw her CG self in the middle of the field with the Minotaurmon. The CG soccer field was so life-like, especially the roaring crowds witin the stadium. Rei could even feel the wind blow against her face. Yes, it was that life-like in every sense possible.
"Wow, this is unreal. Somehow, I can control myself within a video game? Mari's territory is unreal."
"Game start! First turn goes to Minotaurmon!" an announcer's voice calls out from the stands.
With that said, Minotaurmon charged forward with the soccer ball. He dribbled across in attempt to psych Rei out from the start. However, Rei used the controller to move 'herself' across the field. Once Minotaurmon came closer, Rei saw the opening chance to take the ball away from him. Minotaurmon came closer but not long until Rei slid under to take the ball away from him. With a loud cry, Rei leveled up and kicked the ball across the field into the soccer goal. Minotaurmon looks with tears swelling his eyes.
"All right!" the real Rei exclaimed. "This guy doesn't seem so tough!"
"Nice shot, Rei! It's a shame you were once a great soccer player before your little accident, right? Oo, that one hurt didn't it?"
The young girl simply did what she could to ignore Mari's taunts but couldn't resist her. She makes eye contact with the Game Master herself.
"Remember when we first met how we were once both outcasts at school?"
Suddenly, the Minotaurmon took advantage of the distracted Rei and kicks the ball across towards her side of the goal. The girl responds to it at the last minute and uses her control to force her CG counterpart to block the ball using her body. Rei counters by dribbling the ball across with the Minotaurmon waiting in the wings.
"Once I talked to Mr. Saitou, he says that the reasons why you and I are like that are completely opposite. Saitou said that I was alienated because I'm too strong and gifted. But you were alienated because you're too weak."
Rei remained focused on the game and the game went back and forth between the two players. Each one weren't going to give out just yet. However, Mari continued ranting on about how superior she is over her.
"To be honest, all those people around me were nothing but fools. I was too much being a dance idol, a game master and an Internet idol. I separated myself from them on purpose."
"Hey! Stop talking so damn much, you ho!" Davis growled. "She's already getting on my nerves."
"Nope, my mom isn't like that at all," Keke said. "Ahem, right, dad?"
"Hmph, I guess."
"How can Rei even concentrate with that witch distracting her?" asked Kari.
"The real Devilman King also poses as a distraction while taunting you during play," Henry informed the group. "In other words, Mari is getting into Rei's head and throwing her concentration off track. Thus, is the perfect strategy to make the player lose."
"Feh! I still don't call it fair," Terriermon said. "Don't even remind me of the time that cheater trash talked me when I was trying to play solitaire!"
"Rei Saiba has one goal!" the announcer speaks out. "Minotaurmon has one goal! Tie game!"
Minotaurmon serves the ball to Rei, who proceeds to start with her turn. The ball is dribbled across once again. Rei makes a u-turn around her larger opponent, takes advantage of his clumsiness and kicks her way towards the other side for the goal.
"Heh. I would expect Mr. Saitou to say something like that to me," Mari said with a heartfelt laugh.
Now, the tide was turning as Mari's distraction caused Rei's CG self to get tripped over by the Minotaurmon. The beast sends the ball hurtling across into the other side to score a goal.
"No!" Rei muttered under her breath.
"Yes, you are the complete opposite of me, little Rei."
As the game progressed onward, the situation grew grim for Rei. After scoring two goals straight, the girl was having a disadvantage. This was especially true with the Devilman Queen talking down on her. Despite the taunts, Rei was able to gain a second wind and scores her second goal after a few minute struggles. On her last shot, Rei kicks the ball under Minotaurmon's legs. The beast bent over to kick the ball but not long until Rei leaped over his head and landed behind him swiftly. She then ran forwards with the ball intact and sends the ball across into her opponent's goal net. The younger Saiba had successfully scored her third goal and officially won the game. Mari wasn't exactly pleased with this result and slammed her fists on her throne.
(End theme)
"Game over! Score set 3-2! Contestant Rei Saiba wins!" the announcer exclaimed through the speakers.
"Well, looks like I lose! Until next time! Great game!" Minotaurmon laughed before fading away.
Panting heavily, Rei noticed herself sweating. This was exactly the result of herself actually playing in the game. So, it was actually Rei who was on the actual CG soccer field.
"Wow, that was life-like. I was actually on that field, but I won. That's all that matters."
"Yes! You were awesome, Rei!" TK praised her efforts.
"She… She might even be good as I was," Davis said.
"Nah, nobody is better than you, Davish!"
"Tai's better than me…"
"That's set! That's one win to begin with!" Keke cheered.
As Rei walked across to her comrades, she stopped and made eye contact with Mari. A serious demeanor was on her face.
"Mari, you are right. I am weak. It was because I didn't have the courage to admit that, that I cursed the people around me. It was also because I was weak that I allowed myself to have a hand in your horrible plans. But I'll change. I'm not going to look away the fact that I am a weak person."
"Oh, dear. What would your own brother think about you now?"
"Neo made his choice and I made mine. I'm not going to stand with the side of Saitou anymore."
Rei walks across to accompany her new friends and once again turned to face Mari with a sly grin.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Thanks to Saitou's spiritual healing, he just turned this cripple into one bad ace soccer player. How do about them apples, Ms. Idol?"
"You little…"
Elsewhere within the empty Shinjuku District
Exploring the chartered devastation left by Lichidramon, Ryo Akiyama struggled across the empty streets. He had left his home just a while ago and forced himself to stand up. His de-digivolved partner, Monodramon, remained at his side to accompany the boy.
"Ryo, you shouldn't be out of bed like this."
"No, I have to make it to that cave. A voice has been telling me to go there. For some reason, I can recognize this voice. I can remember it echoing through my mind."
"What did it say?"
"It said that he would return soon and destroy everything in his wake. Taichi and the others… They are in trouble if they are not careful. These monsters are just the beginning to disaster waiting to come."
"A voice? Who could it actually be?"
"I don't know but we're going to find out, Monodramon."
Monodramon stopped and remained frozen in place as his eyes started to emit a crimson glow. It seemed the presence of the dark god still lurked within the dragon digimon.
"That's right, Ryo. You only have little time before that tunnel opens and I once again regain my strength. Then, I shall destroy everything in this wretched universe. Saitou is merely planting the seeds of what's to come. Ha. Ha."
Abandoned Water facility/Wasteland
The Heat Wave Blast was coming ever so closer towards the ice-contained Omega X. Seconds pass by… The blast made its mark and exploded on impact with the ice sculpture. Eisdramon looks on while laughing happily. He was more than pleased to see his own brother destroying Omega X with his ultimate attack. There was nothing left where the sculpture once stood but thick cloud smoke.
"You did it, Novadramon! You have made our fellow brethern and me proud. You truly are apart of Millenniumon's essence."
However, his celebration was short lived once he felt the same strong ki from within the smoke cloud. Eisdramon looks across to find Omega X completely unscathed but dripping with water. The warrior wiped himself to get the water off his forehead.
"Whew, now that was refreshing. I could have been roasted there but you held back, Novadramon. Thank you."
"No! Why didn't you kill him, brother?!"
Novadramon turns to give his older brother a serious demeanor. He wasn't going to take Eisdramon's orders too kindly.
"Hey, Eisdramon. I've been listening to you call your brother soft for a while now, but you're much softer for not finishing me off yourself."
This managed to strike Eisdramon's selfish pride, which he did not take so fondly.
"What did you just say to me?!"
"You sit back and enjoy this, Novadramon. I'll put this bastard away in ten seconds," Omega X snickered. "Then you and I can continue. Ok?"
"Ha! That's the biggest load of bull I've heard in my short life!" Eisdramon laughed. "Ten seconds? You ridicule me considerably!"
With that said, Eisdramon's body started to emit an ice blue aura. At the same time, his power increased along with his frozen territory. Omega X looked across to watch ice spread across the wasteland, the forests and even a nearby abandoned city being engulfed. The frozen ice covered a large territory. Omega X jumps away from the ice coming towards him in time.
"Yikes! There's no way I'm getting iced again!"
Eisdramon completed expanding his territory while Novadramon watches on as a spectator. Omega X lands on the ground but not long until he started slipping. With one slip, he fell backwards and hit his head hard onto the ice.
"OWW! I've got to watch that first step. Ok, now where was I… Oh yeah."
The warrior sits up and sheepishly grins over at the ice dragon. He held out his hand to show five fingers.
"I'll take that back! I'm ending this in five seconds!"
Eisdramon soundly interrupted a fair and climatic battle between warriors. The ice dragon has shown that he is willing to stoop to new lows in order to gain victory. However, Omega X has managed to regain the upper hand and vows to defeat Eisdramon in five seconds. Can he actually do it? If he destroys Eisdramon, what does this mean for his fight with Novadramon? Can he actually make it out of there before setting off to rescue Max? Let's not forget that there is still one other monster waiting in the wings. Who exactly was X speaking with about being granted permission? Our other heroes have found Demon's Cavern where Saitou and his accomplices currently hold Max captive. But they must get through Mari the Gamemaster's territory. Rei Saiba scores one victory. All they need is two more before Henry and Dorothy take over. The clock is ticking and darkness is in the horizon. Could Earth's fate finally be sealed along with the rest of the Digital Universe?

Kari: Hi, everyone! It's me, Kari! The situation with my brother changes for the better! Eisdramon is doing everything he can to defeat Tai but to no avail.
Tai/Omega X: You're just going to have to surrender the digicore to me, Eisdramon. Unlike your brother, you have no respect.
Eisdramon: Respect this! Look what I have here! A nice morsel to eat.
Omega X: Let Calumon go, you ice-cold bastard!
Takato: But jsut as things get from bad, then get even worse. An unexpected visit for the last monster himself catches Tai off guard!
Takuya: And this guy is the baddest of all the seven monsters. Just call him…
?: Just call me Atolmdramon, pitiful human. Taichi, you should also consider yourself responsible for my birth.
Omega X: What are you talking about?!
Davis: Meanwhile, we're still trapped inside the cave with Mari and her little games. Rei has one up against the wench.
Shintomon: Just leave it to us digimon to declare victory in the first-person shooter game.
TK: Davis and I will take the fighting game.
Henry: Then, we'll take a shot after them, Dorothy. We need to win four games to escape Mari's territory and save Max!

Things aren't looking bright for Tai and it's only going to get worse. The final monster makes his appearance in the next chapter. But can Takato's and Takuya's teams even make it in time to save him? We'll see. By the way, Atolmdramon is a character submitted by Ninetalesuk. Thanks for letting me use him, but this Atolmdramon will be stronger and more intelligent than his whacked out counterpart from your story.
We'll get to see more of Mari's games in the next two chapters. She's already shown herself to be quite arrogant, but how long will her parade last? Rei's already scored one for her team. They only need three more wins and they are on their way to save Max. But, there just maybe another obstacle after Mari and the only way to find out is to continue reading.
Now, I shall fid you guys farewell. Peace out!

Another update in the past few days? I must be finally gaining back my momentum, but that won't last long when school approaches. At least I'm putting more time to catch up with this saga. Now, we're just moments away from the arrival of the last of the seven monsters. Fellow fic author, Ninetalesuk, contributed this one. Thanks a bunch, Ninetales. Now, without further ado, let's get on with the story! Enjoy!
Taichi/Omega X engaged in a fierce struggle against the sun-powered monster of Millenniumon, Novadramon. This one proved to be the most formidable of all the monsters that have appeared thus far. However, their fair battle was interrupted. Eisdramon finally arrived on the scene after taking care of BW in a previous encounter. The ice monster spoiled the battle in the process. This only succeeded in infuriating Taichi in the process and he proceeded to lay down the verbal smack on Eisdramon. He was disgusted with the ice monster's cowardly acts of winning. Omega X has officially declared he would destroy Eisdramon in five seconds. Can he live up to his promise?
Meanwhile, in order to prevent the completion of the tunnel, Davis leads his group of thirteen to infiltrate their way through Demon's Cavern. Unfortunately, there was a girl waiting in the wings for them and blocked their path to enter through the tunnels leading to Saitou's hideout. They entered the territory of Mari the Gamemaster. With her powers, she is able to turn the world of a video game into reality. The only way through is to win the first one to win four games. Rei Saiba competed first in a soccer match and narrowly escaped with a victory. Can they win the next three games and escape Mari's tricky territory?

The Arrival of the Final Millenniumon Monster, Atolmdramon! Mari's Ambitious Gaming Experience!
Mari's Territory
With one game victory handed to Davis' group, Mari was going to have to resort to other games to place herself in the lead. She remained calm for the time being despite being behind. Rei's new friends congratulated her.
"Now that was a mean counter, Rei! You ought to be on my fundraiser's soccer team!" Davis praised her.
"Who would have thought she would go from being a cripple to a great player?" Patamon said.
"That comes to show you that anything is possible," Kari replied. "We're leading with one."
"Ha! All we need is three more wins and we're out of this dump!" Terriermon stated.
Mari was already growing impatient with her opponent's antics and snapped her fingers to gain their undivided attention. The slot machine was now being set to pick the next set of slots.
"Yeah, yeah. You just got lucky, little Rei. Onto the next game, losers."
She pulls on the lever and awaits the machine to choose the three slots to determine what type of game would be contested next. The first slot stopped on 'Shooting', the second was 'Mech Battle', and the last one stopped on 'Level 5'. A virtual image of an Etemon wearing a pilot outfit stepped into a famous Saiya-Man like pose.
"There's no way you'll ever penetrate through my defense force! Uh-huh! Ha! Ha!"
"Hey! Did he say shooting?!" Shintomon exclaimed. "I'm an ace at these games! If that arrogant fool is at level six, I can easily beat him."
"Let us join, too!" Veemon begged. "Let's tag team on his forces!"
"Terriermon and I will accompany him, too," Patamon said.
"Just leave all the shooting to me, fellas," snickered Terriermon.
"Ok, guys. I really don't think I need the help, but I accept. Let's give this our best shot," the higher digimon said.
"We'll take this one, too!" the digimon rookie trio announced to the Etemon.
"Good luck, guys," Dorothy said.
"Are you sure about this, Shintomon? Maybe you ought to lend your spot to me," suggested Davis.
"Nah, I'll be fine. Let's go, guys."
Shintomon walked down to the joystick arcade stand while the rookie digimon trio occupied the second stand. Veemon and Patamon held each other up like a Totem Pole, while Terriermon maintained his balance on top of them. He grabbed the joystick to begin the game.
"Ready, set and start," Terriermon said. "Let's kick some tail, Shintomon!"
"Good luck to you, too."
The digimon immediately found themselves on the actual battlegrounds within the game. Shintomon was inside what looked like a robotic wolf beast with military weaponry strapped across its metallic form. The trio found themselves inside the cockpit of a machine built for combat. In fact, they were inside what looked like a Gundam suit.
"Whoa! We're inside a Gundam!" Terriermon gasped. "This is so kick butt! I can just see the look on Henry's face now!"
"How do you work these things?" Patamon asked.
"Don't worry, Patay. You just leave the battle with Terriermon and me. Right?"
"You bet! Hey, let's see if I can communicate with Shintomon with this radio speaker. Ahem… Shintomon! This is Commander Terrier! Over!"
The rabbit-eared dog waited for a response from the higher digimon but only received a static signal for a moment. Then he heard Shintomon speaking through barely.
"This is General Shinto. Ready to take off into battle, Commander Terrier?"
"Hey, I like his style… Roger! We're ready for take off!"
"Good! I'll be leading us off by land. You tag along by air! There are enemy fleets ahead!"
"Roger! Captain Vee, we are heading out into combat. Are systems go?"
"Ready and willing, Commander Terrier!"
"Right! Now, let us go! Strike Gundam, take off!"
With that said, the Gundam immediately takes off across the valley ahead while Shintomon's Zoid machine charged across the landscape. The mobile suit monitored any enemy activity across.
"Players. You can only use three turns in this battle. If you crash three times, then you will lose the game. Clear?!"
"Yeah. Yeah. When do we get to the fun part?!" Terriermon remarked.
"If you can shoot down Etemon's mobile suit, then you win the game."
"You hear that guys? This should be simple. We get three turns after losing a life but we can destroy Etemon's mobile suit once. That puts us at an advantage," Shintomon spoke out.
"What did he just say, guys?" Patamon asked.
"Don't worry. We'll get through with this in a snap!" Veemon snickered.
"Just sit back and enjoy the ride, Patamon," Terriermon replied.
"Heads up, guys! Enemy mobile suits ahead!" Shintomon exclaimed through the radio signal.
The digimon trio looked up ahead to the battlefield and gasped at the large number of enemy fleets. The Strike Gundam takes battle formation and pulls out a light saber from its back sheath. Terriermon pilots it forward and slashes its way through the enemy mobile suits in the process. The mobile suits were cut in size and take out rather easily. The Zoid machine shot out missiles through its armor while taking out the enemy Zoids.
"Nice shooting there, General Shinto!" Terriermon laughed maniacally. "Ha! Take this, punks!"
The Gundam sets across the heavens to find an enemy ship preparing to open a hatchet to release more mobile suits. The digimon wasted no time as they controlled the Gundam to cut down the ship in half. Terriermon used the joystick to activate a gun to instantly appear around the Gundam's other hand.
"Great! Now we can waste the ship! Buster Sword! Engage!"
"Aim for the ship! Aim for the ship!" Veemon called out.
Following Veemon's advice, Terriermon set the Gundam across and activated the use of the sword. The Strike Gundam cuts through the large ship with a single stroke in order to cut it to in half. Shintomon's Zoid charged across to fire missiles across at the collapsing ship.
"All right! That part was a synch!" Terriermon laughed.
"Don't celebrate too long, guys. It looks like Etemon's on his way and he's none too happy about what we did with his fleet."
With that said, the digimon looked on ahead to find a black Gundam emerge out of a mountain. This Gundam was wielding a scythe and a protective shield. Terriermon gulped for a moment but soon regained his self-composure. He sure was not going to let the Etemon's Gundam intimidate him.
"There he is, Terriermon! He's all alone!" Veemon said. "Now we can take him out!"
"Ha! You're not so tough without your right hand men now, you varmint!" Terriermon spoke with a cowboy-like accent.
"I'll make you pay for that, you little twerps! You destroyed my fleet! Now the king isn't about to show you any mercy!"
"Let's hope he doesn't sing," Patamon shuddered.
"You guys. I'll take the ground and distract him while you guys sneak up from behind in the air," Shintomon suggested through the radio speaker.
"Roger that, General Shinto! You heard him. Let's take this ship upward!"
Following the higher digimon's orders, Terriermon set the Strike Gundam towards the heavens. This allowed Shintomon the chance to pilot his Zoid across an lifeless wasteland. They had just now entered Etemon's territory. Shintomon looks up ahead and set his coordinates onto Etemon's Gundam suit.
"I've got you locked on, Etemon. Now don't you move. Missiles! Engage!"
The Zoid leaps across from the land and into the air while unleashing an array of missiles. He pulled a similar tactic Metal Garurumon would use from time to time. The missiles launched themselves towards their primary target: Etemon's Gundam.
"Ha! I can see your strategy from a long mile away, boy! Gundam! Take out those missiles! Engage the Scythe Blade!"
The dark Gundam took one mighty swing of its scythe and used an energy slash to take out the missiles at once. Etemon laughed at Shintomon's futile attempts and proceeded to launch his mobile suit down at his Zoid.
"Now I've got you where I want you! Your fate has been sealed!"
"Wow, how melodramatic you are. I can't believe you just feel for our tactic," sighed Shintomon.
Suddenly, there was a light stream emulating across the heavens. This managed to catch Etemon's attention. His Gundam turned around to find the source of the light but was too slow to notice the Strike Gundam coming down at him with its Buster Sword.
"Uh oh. I should have written my will to mother," peeped Etemon.
"Prepare to eat our Buster Blade, ya monkey varmint! HEE-YAH!" Terriermon laughed manically.
With a single stroke of its blade, the Strike Gundam sliced the dark Gundam. The mech exploded as Etemon barely managed to pop out from his cockpit. He held out his fist angrily while cursing out some foul language.
"Ok, now that wasn't needed," Patamon sighed.
"Guess he can't take defeat like a mon," said Veemon. "Well, Terriermon. Mission Accomplished."
"Hehehe. Ain't I a stinker?" Terriermon snickered. "The next time we meet I won't show you mercy, you filthy monkey! Ha! Ha!"
"Well done, guys. We've just won the game and we're ahead by two."
As soon as the words Game Over appeared on the screen, the digimon were transported back in Mari's territory. Shintomon wiped his forehead and walked back to the group. In the meantime, Terriermon basked himself in glory as Veemon and Patamon danced a rhythm to the video game background theme.
"Not was catchy as any Sonic themes, but this one has a nice beat to it," Veemon said. "Hey, let's hope we end up on the DDR soon."
"Oh yeah! I'm the king of DDR!" Terriermon said.
"Maybe that's because you have your ears to help you," Henry said. "Anyway, I hope there's a quiz."
"You guys did great. We're ahead by two," TK praised the digimon.
"Now, I think we should take the next game, TG," David suggested.
"Um, it's TK for the love of god," the blonde-haired male muttered.
Meanwhile, Mari the Gamemaster wasn't exactly thrilled to realize that her opponents were gaining a upper hand. She needed to make a comeback in order to secure her place as the Devilman Queen. She nodded her head and snapped her fingers.
"Great, so what's the next game you have for us next?" Dorothy said. "We don't have time to waste."
"Ah, but patience. You will eventually find out which game I will handpick. It could be a fighting game or a quiz. Therefore, I would be on alert if I were you. In addition, it is not a good idea to get too overconfident. It will come back to haunt you."
"We're ready for anything you've got! Pull the lever to that slot machine!" Davis demanded.
"Geez, you need to lighten up."
"Why I oughta…"
"Don't let her get to you, Davis," Kari said. "That's exactly what she wants out of you."
"Fine… But I just hate having to wait, especially with Max held captive as he is."
"We'll get to him. Don't worry, Davis. We'll escape this territory before you know it," Gatomon assured the young man.
"By the way, I have to applaud your pets' efforts, Digi-Destined," Mari said. "They and Shintomon had managed to pass the game without losing a life. That itself is impressive."
"So, what are you so happy about?" asked TK.
"You'll soon find out. Now, let's pull the lever to determine the next game."
Stepping up to slot machine, Mari pulled the lever to activate the machine. The three slots were randomly sliding rapidly. The first slot stopped at 'Action Battle'. The next slot read 'Tag Team Martial Arts'. Finally, the last slot stopped at 'Level 2'. Instantly appearing before Mari was a virtual image of a Ninjamon.
"Great! TK and I will take this one. Ready partner?" Davis asked his friend.
"You bet. Let me at them."
"Come and get it! If you're sure of your abilities, then don't hesitate!" the Ninjamon said. "But you cannot use your digital fusion! Fight with what you've got!"
"Bah, we don't need digital fusion to win this. Since this is a level two, it is an easy win for sure! Let's take them, TK."
TK nodded in reply to Davis' comments and walked towards the gaming station.
"Don't get too overconfident, guys!" Kari cheered the boys.
"Take it to 'em, Davish!"
"Go, TK!"
"You guys can do it!" Rei called out to them.
"Ah, maybe I should have taken this once," Terriermon sighed.
"You had enough fun playing Psycho Gundam Pilot for one day," Henry said to his digimon partner.
"You can use up to three players! You have two available! You have three lives to start with. If you lose all three, then you will lose the game. Now then, let the battle games begin!"
Within a few moments, TK and Davis found themselves on an open plain. The skies were dark and there were many mountains standing in the background. The duo look on ahead to find an army of Mushroommon and Goblinmon. TK started the game by throwing out right cross jabs at several Mushroommon. Davis took care of things with the Golinmon tribe with several street fighting maneuvers. The digimon were easily clobbered by the human duo. They could even feel their fists making contact with the actual digimon themselves.
"Ha! How did you like that? Not bad for a couple of digi-humans, huh?" Davis snickered.
However, the digimon did not take too kindly to the young man's cocky attitude. A Mushroommon ran across and punched Davis in the punch, which sent him sailing across the field.
"Damn! You and your big mouth, Davis!"
"Heads up, punk!"
The blonde-haired male looked up ahead and was kicked in the face by a Goblinmon. TK shared the same fate as Davis and rolled down across the field. Their bodies laid flat on the ground with their angel self-images popping out to go straight into heaven. The announcer spoke out from within the gaming systems.
"Both players have died! Player 1 and 2 stand by!"
With that said, their bodies were immediately deleted and brought back into the game. TK and Davis looked across at their bodies.
"Huh? Now that was a trip of a ride," Davis said.
"What just happened?" asked TK.
"Well, that certainly didn't go very well," Rei stated.
"C'mon, quit fooling around!" Keke snapped.
"Hey! You have to aim for their vital points!" Shintomon called out to the young men.
Suddenly, a pair of Ninjamon appeared alongside the Mushroommon and the Goblinmon. The duo ran across the field and began to pummel away at their opponents. They found their vital points, which happened to be target marks on the monsters' bodies. TK delivers a kick across a Ninjamon's target point to eliminate it. Meanwhile, Davis leaped off to deliver a flying elbow drop onto a fallen Goblinmon's target chest. One by one, each monster was taken out from TK and Davis' teamwork.
"Yay! Go, TK!" Patamon cheered.
"Give them a left and a right, Davish!" Veemon gave encouragement to his friend.
"Now, that's what I'm talking about!" Davis laughed.
"Hey! Don't forget about the growth spurt drink!" exclaimed Shintomon. "Do it before…"
Just as the duo was going to grab the drinks, a giant version of a Ninjamon emerged from beyond a pit. The young men turned around to find Ninjamon throwing out a massive foot across them. The swing of the foot sent a massive wind force to blow them away with ease.
"Crap! They've had it!" Terriermon panicked.
"No, wait! Look!" Henry said.
Back on the battlefield, the Ninjamon giant was caught off guard once he saw the boys drinking their bottles of super growth juice. TK and Davis grew to gigantic proportions. Davis held out his drink and posed in a dramatic fashion.
"Ah! Super growth! It does a body good, kids!"
"Davish! You're the man!" Veemon cheered.
"Now, have a taste of our double whammy!" TK and Davis cried out in unison.
"The double what, now?" Henry asked.
"Double-whammy? Ugh, now I've seen everything," sighed Dorothy.
"I just hope Max doesn't find out about this," Keke said.
"Sometimes even my husband can act a little crazy, but this is ridiculous," Kari said referring to Takeru.
"This is great! Knock that stupid grin off that Ninjamon!" Rei cheered on the duo like a cheerleader.
The duo charged across and delivered a double uppercut to send the giant Ninjamon sailing across through a nearby volcano. The monster was eliminated, thus completing the stage in the process. TK and Davis reverted down to their normal sizes. They also returned inside Mari's territory. The words Game over came up on the big screen to indicate the finish of the third game.
"Game over! The winners are TK and Davis!"
"Yes! Now that's three wins for us!" TK said. "All we need is one more and we're out of here."
"Just one more win, guys," Davis said with a sheepish grin.
"That was awesome, Davish! You ought to teach me and Patamon that one day."
"Hey, it's what I do best."
"Ah, you two get to have all the fun," Terriermon sighed. "Oh well. At least, we digimon got to pilot a Gundam!"
After witnessing another win for the opposing team, Mari gets up from her throne and throws off her purple cloak. She unveils her wardrobe, which consisted of a black spandex tank top and matching color leather shorts. Her boots were also of the matching color, but that was not all. She has a red and green vest, which looked similar to a Rosemon's attire description. On her head was a rose hat and her sleeves were wrapped with green bracelets. The group was caught stunned by the unveiling of the Gamemaster's wardrobe.
"Ok, now we can tell this girl is obsessed," Keke said. "She definitely has a thing for a Rosemon. She even has one matching colors of her."
"Hmph, she's definitely not better looking than Mimi," Davis said.
"You were saying about my wife, Davis?" Metalla X coughed out.
"Whoops… Hehe. Sorry, I forgot you were here, Matt."
"So, what does this mean?" Patamon wondered.
"It appears to be my turn, losers," Mari announced. "Move over cause I'm stepping up to the spotlight!"
Suddenly, everything grows quiet and the group was not making any more jokes. This time it was serious business. The Gamemaster was up and ready, which meant anything could happen since she is the Devilman Queen.
"Now she's mimicking the exact lines of the real Devilman King," Henry said.
"Now, the real game begins…" Rei whispered.
"That's right. All up to now, it's been a simple warm-up. Fun and games are over," Dorothy stated. "We're going up against the real deal now."
Dorothy stepped forward as she approached Davis to give him a sound piece of advice. The young man was more than willing to listen to what the teenage girl genius had to say.
"Davis. Now, listen closely. I have a worthwhile opinion you should consider. If Mari plays at the same level as the actual game's boss, then eight or nine times out of then, then Henry or I will defeat her. On the contrary, Mari will be considerably stronger than the actual boss. That is why we both have chosen this game."
"So, it's down to you and Henry, then?"
"That's correct."
"You're also saying that Mari is in a different league than those other digimon champions we've gone up against until now?"
"Yes, that's right, Davis. So, if Henry or I should lose, think of a way to escape from here, Davis. You and the others will have to find a way."
"What did you say?! Escape?!"
Dorothy lowered her head and let out a deep sigh. By nodding her head, Davis would tell something was crossing the girl's mind and she did not want to reveal any secrets to him. He was growing rather weary around Dorothy since she has a habit of never revealing anything until need be.
"Dorothy. What are you so afraid of? I've never seen you this weary before," Davis thought. "What's your deal? Do you know something we don't?"
"Well, I'm just about ready to go," Mari announced. "Anyone want to volunteer to challenge me first?"
"Not being able to feel out an opponent's strength is too difficult and even I should know that," Davis continued. "This is really starting to creep me out. I hope you know what you're thinking, Dorothy. Even you are notorious for being unpredictable."
Mari pulled down on the lever to the slot machine to wait for the slot spots to announce the next type of game.
"Let's see which game we'll be playing next. I hope its solitaire or DDR!"
The slots stopped at 'Quiz', 'General', and 'Level H'. With a depressing sigh, the Gamemaster lowered her head in shame. This wasn't exactly the game she was hoping to receive.
"Darn! I was hoping this would not happen. Quizzes aren't exactly my strongest point."
"Great! Just our luck!" Veemon exclaimed. "This gives us the advantage again!"
"I'll take this one," Henry said.
"You go, Henry! You 'da man!" Terriermon cheered his partner on.
"Give it your best, Henry!" Rei calls out to the teen.
"We're counting on you, Henry. If you manage to knock her off her throne, then we can continue on," Davis said.
"Yeah, just leave this to me."
With that said, Henry stepped forward and took position around the gaming station. He looked across to see Mari taking the second player stand. She turns to give him a sly smirk. Maintaining a serious demeanor, Dorothy kept her eye on the two contestants, but more specifically on Mari.
"For someone who just declared that this game isn't her strongest point, she looks pretty darn confident," Dorothy thought. "Hey, Rei."
"Yeah?"
"Could you tell me any more detail on Mari's ability as the Gamemaster?"
"To tell you the truth, this is the first time I've seen her use her ability for myself. I wish there was more to tell you."
The screen came on with the title The Gamers' Quiz, which featured a Sorcerermon on the screen. Mari and Henry were set to take their gaming positions.
"I don't know anything else except the fact that she can turn a game into an actual reality," the former Ice Maker spoke.
"Let the best gamer win," Mari smiled with a handshake.
"The real Devilman King doesn't extend handshakes," Henry replied.
"Ah, man. You're no fun. Ok, here are the rules. During this game, random questions go to whoever buzzes in first from among four choices."
"Yeah, I've seen plenty of Jeopardy to know that."
"True. The first to answer the ten questions wins the game. Unlike Jeopardy of course, you won't lose points or money for any wrong answer. However, if you miss three times, then you lose immediately."
"Yeah. Yeah. I know."
"All right! Let the game begin!"
"The Devilman Queen challenges Henry Wong! Quiz start!" the Sorcerermon announced.
As soon as the game was set to begin, Henry was trembling for a moment. He hoped that he could pass the game without letting down his friends. They are now ahead with three points and needed to win one more game in order to pass through the territory, in hopes of stopping Saitou from opening the tunnel.
"Go, Henry! We know you can do this!" Kari cheered on.
"Beat this badly fashioned chick and we'll get the heck out of here!" Terriermon called out in encouragement to his friend.
Henry gulped slightly and gripped the joystick tightly with sweaty hands.
"C'mon, Henry. You can do this. They're counting on you now," the boy said in thought.
Abandoned Water Facility/Wasteland
The water facility and nearly everything near it had now become a landscape of frozen ice. Eisdramon had spread out his territory to his advantage. The warrior of courage, Omega X, was preparing to continue his battle with the ice dragon. He looked across to notice the enemy snickering.
"You'll say you can defeat me in five seconds? That's even bigger bunch of bullshit, Taichi. There's no way you can hope to waste me in that short amount of time."
"Oh, since when did I ever become a joker?" Omega X replied "But, it does sound funny, right? But, I'm damn serious."
"Let's have you do it, then."
Eisdramon immediately spread out his gargoyle-like wings into a widespread wingspan. He puts up a fighting stance and sets his sights on the warrior cautiously.
"I'll count for you then," the ice dragon stated.
As soon as he said that, Omega X launches himself across at full speed. He lands a fist across Eisdramon's face, which results in the dragon being sent hurtling across the frozen wasteland. He sits up slowly to catch his breath.
"One…"
Omega X responds with a spinning back kick and sends Eisdramon flying through a water tower.
"Two…"
Eisdramon is then sent plummeting into the ground where Omega X plows him through. The dragon managed to find time to continue through his countdown.
"Three… Four…"
Once crashing into a tall dam, Omega X launches himself into the air and cupped his hands together. He was set to fire away his Terra Beam attack.
"Now time to end this! TERRA BE-"
Suddenly, a hand holding Calumon caught his attention at the last second. Eisdramon emerged from the debris with an unconscious Calumon in his grasp.
"NO! CALUMON!"
"Five seconds have already passed, Taichi. You lose. I'm still alive and kicking," Eisdramon said while holding Calumon up like a prized trophy.
The ice dragon licked his lips while having thoughts of swallowing the tiny digimon as a morseal. Omega X's body trembled with anger and find it sickening that a powerful dragon would stoop low as to capturing a helpless non-warrior rookie.
"T-That's damn disgusting of you!"
"I'm okay with being dirty, Taichi. As long as I win, you see."
With that said, Eisdramon threw Calumon's form across. The warrior quickly takes off after Calumon and catches him in his grasp. Unbeknownst to him, Eisdramon was flying out towards Omega X to attack. The warrior of courage turns around to allow Eisdramon to deliver a head butt straight to his back. Omega X is sent crashing through an empty facility building tower. This resulted in the top portion collapsing down on the fallen Omega X. Eisdramon laughed insanely at the devastation he had just caused. Omega X sits up with Calumon still in his grasp. The ice dragon stepped through the smoke debris and proceeded to stomp away at Omega X's back. He lets out painful screams from each foot stomp on his spine. He continuously stomped until there was no tomorrow.
As he went for another stomp, Eisdramon felt an arm wrap around his leg and struggled to break free. Omega X emerged with Calumon in one hand and Eisdramon's foot in the other. The ice dragon struggled under the warrior's tight grip.
"I'm through with your shit, Eisdramon."
Omega X bent down and went face to face with the frightened monster.
"How dare you use Calumon as a shield?! I nearly shot a Terra Beam at the little guy! Now, I'm going to make you pay for that!"
With one mighty swing, Omega X sends Eisdramon sailing across through the dam. Novadramon finally arrived at the scene to watch the conflict ensue. Setting Calumon on the ground, Omega X lowered his head with an angry glare.
"Eisdramon! I'm going to end you for sure!"
As the smoke cleared away, Eisdramon was stuck against the dam wall. The warrior instantly turned to fire away the attack he attempted to use earlier.
"TERRA BE-"
"Ha! You expect me to take that, you moron!"
Eisdramon launched himself from out of the wall and towards the heavens where Novadramon levitated. He flew past his young brother and disappeared from sight. Both Omega X and Novadramon were caught completely off guard.
"What?!" they exclaimed in unison.
Eisdramon appears above the clouds and sends out another ice eye through his eyes. The beams quickly shoot down and struck Omega X once again without him detecting them. His body was quickly turned back into an ice sculpture. Novadramon flew to his brother and confronted him.
"Brother! Did you just use me as a shield?!"
"Of course, you just happened to be there at the right time. You are in my way. Now move aside."
Once pushing Novadramon to the side, the ice dragon put a hand out in order to finish off his frozen adversary with an attack.
"Now, why don't I do something you were going to do to me? Why don't I finish you off this time?"
His right hand immediately transformed into an arm cannon and revealed the digicore inside. He set his target on the frozen Omega X.
"Now! Try my, Subzero Breathe Cannon! Fire!"
As soon as he shot out a massive blast through his arm cannon, Novadramon called out to the frozen warrior. The ice sculpture exploded as a large amount of ki emerged through Omega X's body. He sends out his own ki blast and easily intercepts Eisdramon's cannon blast. The ice dragon gasped in horror to realize that his attack tactic proved useless. Omega X launches himself into the air to confront the monster.
"There's no way you should have been able to break through my ice!"
"Well, that's too damn bad. I won't fall for the same trick twice."
"Damn you, Taichi!"
"Once I'm used to a technique being launched against me, my body immediately memorizes it. That's why I quickly put up a ki barrier."
"This isn't… This is impossible."
Omega X placed two fingers on Eisdramon's forehead and looked like he was preparing to finish the monster off. Even Eisdramon knew his demise was at hand.
"You've just lost, Eisdramon."
"No… No! This can't happen to me…"
"It has happened."
"Please, spare me… Please! I don't want to die! I beg of you!"
Both were starting to levitate back down to the surface, Novadramon nodded his head in shame over his brother's behavior.
"You brought this upon yourself, Eisdramon."
"Taichi! Please! I'll give you the digicore piece. So please, just spare my life! Please, don't kill me!"
Omega X landed on the ground with his fingers still placed on Eisdramon's forehead. The ice dragon looked over at Novadramon for advice.
"Novadramon, my brother! Ask him to spare my life!"
"Taichi. As long as you get the digicore, that should be sufficient. You don't need to take his life, do you?"
"Yeah, here… Take it."
The warrior of courage looked down at Eisdramon while determining the monster's fate. Should he kill him or spare him? Those were the questions plaguing his mind at this very moment. As he was close to handing the digicore, unbeknownst to Omega X, Eisdramon's fingers were plunging through the ice under his feet. He was plotting for one desperate act.
"Fine. You're right, Novadramon," Omega X spoke out. "As long as I get the digicore, that should be enough. Eisdramon, it is a good thing you have a brother that looks out after you like that. I'm taking the digicore, but in return, I don't ever want to see your face again. Do you go that?"
With that said, Eisdramon quickly gets back on his feet and slashes across Omega X's face with ice he collected from his hands.
"You're too forgiving, Taichi!"
Eisdramon sends the ice across Omega X but at the same time, the slash went across the landscape. Everything paused for a few moments until a large slash appeared across the dam itself. The large manmade structure collapsed with one stroke from Eisdramon's ice slash. Omega X was lucky not to be cut down but he was not so lucky since the ice blinded his eyes. He struggles with his arms waddling across while trying to gain back his vision.
"AUGH! NO! MY EYES! MY EYES!"
"Ha! You are as foolish as I heard, Taichi. There's no way I'm going to give up and hand over my digicore so easily."
"Brother! Is that how low you've taken measures to ensure victory?!" Novadramon growled.
"I've told you time and time again. As long as I win, I can do anything I want. Now unable to see, Taichi's power has been cut down in half. Victory has been ensured for me. Now you die, Taichi! Icicle Spears!"
With the ice dragon charging forward, the now blinded Omega X turned around and faced the direction his enemy was coming. He may not see but he could still feel his movements, hear his footsteps and sense his ki. Eisdramon slashed across while the warrior plunged his right fist across.
"I wouldn't be full of myself just yet!" Omega X calls out.
As both launched their assaults, the only damage Omega X received was bloody cuts across his left cheek. Eisdramon had taken more damage and saw Omega X's fist rammed right through his chest.
"But… How… How did… you?"
The ice dragon fell to the ground with a large gaping hole at the center of his chest.
"Even without being able to see, I can sense your cowardly ki loud and clear. Now! How a little taste of an ability I borrowed from ol' Crimson Gallantmon! RYU-KEN!"
With a loud battle cry, Omega X slammed his fist through the fallen Eisdramon to release a massive amount of energy. That energy emerged out into the heavens and around the frozen water facility. It then materialized and took the form of a large Chinese dragon. The dragon's body wrapped around the large sections of the facility like a constrictor snake and plunged its head through Eisdramon's fallen form. The ice monster screamed out his final cries before his body exploded into a cloud of data.
As the dragon faded away, there was nothing left of the ice dragon. Even his frozen territory faded to restore the area to normal. Omega X kneeled before a massive crater at the center. The digicore piece belonging to Eisdramon rolled by past the blind Omega X. One monster was down and now there were two more left to go. However, was Novadramon willing to continue his battle with a now blind Omega X?
Mari's Territory
With the two contestants ready to start the game, Henry peered over towards Mari and noticed she was not anywhere near the joystick. He was wondered why she wasn't taking this seriously as she should.
"Hey, what are you trying to pull here?"
"Oh nothing. I'm just giving you a handicap. You can take the first five questions or so. I'm just going to stand here and watch quietly. Go ahead and answer with your hearts content."
"I doubt that will be even necessary."
"Now, let's begin! First question! The Amazo-"
Without even listening to the rest of the question, Henry immediately pressed the answer button. This caught the group off guard. It was amazing how Henry answered quickly without hearing out the complete question and the answer choices.
The screen read Question One: The Amazo
The choices were: a)Piroroca, b)Paroroca, c)Pororoca, and d)Peroroca.
Henry's choice was Pororoca, which he answered correctly. The Sorcerermon jumped around on the celebration as an indication to the correct answer to a question.
"You are correct, Contestant Henry Wong! It is C!"
"He… He just answered before the question even finished," Veemon stuttered.
"Dang! He knew the answer after only three letters from the the question had appeared!" Kari said.
"I'm telling you, guys. Henry's a genius in this part of the game. I can never get past this stage," Terriermon stated.
"Tell me about it. I had trouble even answering the first question," Davis replied to the dog-rabbit hybrid.
"The total number of questions in this quiz section version is 17,000," Henry explained. "Among these questions, there are only three letters that begin with 'A-ma-zo,' all of which deal with the Amazon. The answer is either "Pororoca," "Piranha", or "The Amazon Highway."'
"Huh?! You mean you memorized all the questions?!" TK asked. "Wow, you really do have quite a hobby for your spare time, Henry."
"And for each answer?! Nearly 20,000 of them?!" Gatomon asked.
"Awesome, Henry! You could be the grand champion on the local game shows," Davis said. "You can be even be on Jeopardy if you need to."
"Question One "The Amazon's Araguari River basin features a natural phenomenon, where the river water flows backward. What is it called?" Sorcerermon stated the question.
"Now do you see that I don't need a handicap, Miss Mari?" Henry replied to the Devilman Queen.
"Well, the second question is about to start. You might want to be alert."
"Fine."
? Center of the Four Digital World Domains ?
Back within a dark, illustrous room inside a royal chamber, the dragon beast had plenty of time to make its decision. Kneeling before him were the masked warrior, X, and the older version of Keke. The dragon nods it is massive head in comply with X's request.
"X. I've made my decision. I've seen how the situation has become more urgent than ever."
"That's right. We're in a tight race here. We're only about two hours or so away from that tunnel being opened."
"Then there is little choice, X. You've been granted permission with my consent."
"Thank you, your highness. I will not let you down."
With another bow to the dragon, X walked out of the royal chambers with Keke accompanying him. Keke shivered in fear at the sight of the divine beast but X remained rather calm after the whole ordeal.
"Jeez, that guy always gives me the chills when I ever get close to him like that," Keke stuttered.
"I suppose, Keke. But I did get his permission."
"That's right. So I guess this means you're leaving again?"
"I am. Keke, I don't know if I'll be back, but please. Do me a favor."
"Anything."
"Actually two things. First, watch over those two kids, Max and Keke, of this world."
"I will."
"Two. This…"
The masked man removed a portion of his bottom mask and went over to plant a kiss on the older Keke. The girl was stunned for the first few moments but eventually gave into his romantic kiss. The two shared a passionate love shortly. Finally, X released his kiss and put his mask back on. He takes off out from the royal chambers leaving Keke behind. She touched her lips and blushed. That kiss was very so familiar. She remembered kissing somebody similar to him in another time and period.
"Could it actually be you…? Well, if you are truly him, then good luck. This world and Taichi needs your help."
Abandoned Water Facility/Wasteland
With Eisdramon's defeat ensured, there was absolutely no celebration to be made. Omega X was kneeling beside a broken water pipe to splash warm water across his blinded eyes. Not even that would help cure his eyes. Novadramon kneeled over to the digicore piece that was once his brother. He picked it up and looked over to Omega X.
"Brother…"
"Damn it! This isn't working. I still can't see."
Suddenly, Omega X felt a presence loom over him and felt an object drop into his hand. He wondered what it was and why Novadramon was handing it to him.
"It's a medicine," Novadramon stated. "It will allow your eyes to heal quickly."
"Novadramon…"
"Our fight will be put on hold until then. See you later, Taichi."
With a respectful bow, Novadramon started walking off but not long before Omega X calls out to him.
"Novadramon! I guess I owe you another one, huh?"
"Sure enough, just call me soft."
"Ooook, whatever you say."
With that said, the two heartfelt warriors shared a laugh together. It looked like a new friendship was formed between two former enemies. Nevertheless, would Novadramon be willing to aid Tai on his crusade to save Max from Saitou's dark hand?
That question was soon answered as another interruption occurred. A mysterious figure from beyond the facility launched a ki blast towards the duo. It caught them both by surprise with the blast destroying the medicine bottle and plunging through Novadramon's chest. The fire dragon fell to his knees while struggling to stand.
"Novadramon! What the hell just happened?! Novadramon! Something just shot at my hand!"
"I WAIT NO MORE!" a loud demonic voice booms out from beyond.
"Who's the voice coming from?! Who's there?!"
Novadramon struggled to sit up and was quick to recognize the massive ki from behind a waterfall. His eyes widened in fear at the silhouette.
"It's… It's Atolmdramon!"
With that said, the shadow emerged from out of the waterfall. The last Millenniumon monster emerged and revealed his true form. A bipedal black dragon beast emerged with massive gray wings spreading across his back. The wingspan of his wings was magnificent. A long tail twirled behind his back. His face was satanic-like with horns through the sides of his head along with three spikes attached around his chin. A row of long spikes penetrated through his back and looked painful enough to stab through a victim's whole body. His eyes were crimson in appearance. The aura surrounding his muscular body was a dark purple color.
(Atolmdramon. Type: Demon Dragon Digimon. Level: Ultimate. Special Attacks: Berserker Rage & Black Flame)
"It's pathetic how a Millenniumon insubordinate is unable to defeat a wounded warrior like him."
The beast puts a single finger out and fires another ki blast directly for Omega X. However, much to his dismay, Novadramon leaped in the way and pushed Omega X down from the blast. The fire dragon suffered the ultimate price by having the blast plunge further through his chest. He spat out blood from his mouth and fell next to Omega X.
"NO! NOVADRAMON!"
"Taichi… Kamiya… I would've… liked if… we settled… our score…"
After those final words, Novadramon gagged and faded away into a cloud of data. all that remained was a digicore piece rolling next to the other digicore half. Omega X smashes his fist to the ground angrily and sits up. He lets out an enraged cry and built a strong golden aura around his body.
"That's it! I'm through with this!"
Despite this, Omega X was still blind and locked onto Atolmdramon's ki.
"That was your own kind! You slaughtered him like if he were an animal! It was easy for you to kill him, as if he was some kind of damn worm! You're going to pay for that, you bastard!"
"You're going to make me pay? Besides, who was it that gave me life? It was you, Taichi Kamiya."
"What are you talking about?! I thought Millenniumon created you guys!"
"Half-way true, Taichi. No, but it was you who created us. Over the many years, you and your comrades also have overused Azulongmon's digicores. We, seven monsters, were spawned from the digicores overuse. Combine that with Millenniumon harvesting them with his evil essence and we emerged out of our shells. The way Earth is being disrupted right now, it's all your way. The digicores' use almost immediately trace back to you. All of the events that have occurred since you became a Digi-Destined are your fault. After being helped by the digicores so many times, don't you go ask for anything again!?"
Atolmdramon steps forward calmly towards Omega X and kneels his head over the warrior.
"Yes, it is your entire fault, Taichi. Millenniumon has been waiting for the day you and your friends least suspected his arrival. Now was the perfect time to emerge."
"Look! I know I feel responsible for this whole mess. I'm sorry. I couldn't control fate when I was chosen as a Digi-Destined. I couldn't control fate when X chose me as his replacement apprentice after Saitou went whacko. I definitely could not control my fate to become Omega X, the first digital warrior in over thousands of Digi-Millennia. It's just as Gosenzomon had warned me before- we shouldn't had used the digicores repeatedly. There would have been severe consequences. It was Millenniumon that planted his seeds of evil into those cores and in turn created you seven! Nevertheless, this is different! I'm going to defeat you with my own hands!"
"Hmph. That is easy for you to say, but it is too late for forgiveness. If you are truly sorry, then apologize with your own life!"
With that said, Atolmdramon's body erupted and sent out a massive sphere that destroyed all of the water facility. The sheer magnitude was strong enough to transform the entire area into a landscape of death. Omega X was sent flying across due to the sheer power of Atolmdramon's raw power. The beast lets out an unearthly roar across the landscape.
The smoke cleared and nothing was left of the water facility except for a few water towers and the city far off in the distance. Omega X was lucky to launch himself across into the heavens but no so lucky when Atolmdramon levitated over him.
"Sorry about that. Apparently, I failed to restrain my power. I used only about 5 percent of my actually power to be precise."
"What power! But what just happened to this place?!"
"So, shall we get started right away, Taichi Kamiya?"
With that said, Atolmdramon flies down at Omega X with tremendous speed. The warrior tried to put up a defense guard but not long as Atolmdramon drove a foot across Omega X's face. He immediately spat out blood from out of his mouth. The force sends Omega X crashing through several water towers. Little did he realize that Atolmdramon was hot on his trial.
The beast pinpoints Omega X's exact location and swiftly punches the warrior in the face. More blood was drawn out from Omega X. Atolmdramon followed the assault up with an uppercut and a knee to his adversary's gut. Another punch sends Omega X sailing across a far off office building. He goes right through the roof level and causes it to collapse. Atolmdramon follows his victim out and finds him sailing across into an amusement park.
Omega X lands onto a Ferris wheel and lands perched on a metal bar. It was not long before Atolmdramon arrived at the scene.
"How about it, Taichi? I'm different from everyone else up to now."
"Damn! You're too powerful! Yours is at a league of it's own!"
"This spot will mark your grave."
Atolmdramon fires off another ki blast through his finger. However, Omega X was quick to dodge it and immediately leaps across onto a rollercoaster railway. He runs across despite being handicapped without vision. The dragon beast launched more ki blasts one by one across the railway, but none of them hit their mark on the fleeing warrior. Unfortunately, Omega X's luck ran out as soon as the last ki shot knocked Omega X off his track.
Atolmdramon smiled as he heard the warrior's cries through the explosion. It looked liked he had finally done him in. He gasped once he realized that Omega X had disappeared from sight. A rollercoaster came strolling by and slide down a loop. Atolmdramon launches a ki blast to destroy the ride but little did he know that Omega X was also hidden in the ride. The warrior launches himself across and executes a suicide dive onto Atolmdramon. The dragon is sent plummeting down into the ground while Omega X hanged across a bar.
"Damn! That was a close one! But it looks like my luck may finally run out."
Mari's Territory
Back within the gaming territory, the tide was turning against Mari with Henry already answering five correct questions in a row. The Gamemaster remained rather calm despite her grave situation. She didn't even bother to answer one question due to the handicap she gave Henry.
"Correct! Contestant Henry Wong won five questions in a row! Devilman Queen has zero!"
"All right! That's 5-0, Henry! Keep it up!" Davis called out to the boy. "Just five more and we're out of here!"
"Incredible! Even hearing the answers, I haven't gotten any of those questions!" Veemon exclaimed.
"Well, that's about it for his handicap," Dorothy stated. "Mari's going to get serious this time."
"Yeah. She just gave him a handicap for the first five questions. She seems pretty confident about this," Keke said.
"Nah, I bet that Henry is simply too awesome for her," scoffed Davis. "Right, TK?"
"I'm not so sure…"
"Yes, Daisuke. Take a good look at Mari," Shintomon pointed out to the Gamemaster. "That look in her eye is the look of confidence of someone has just realized victory."
"But how can that be?" Rei asked. "Is there anyway of choosing the correct answers faster than what Henry has shown?"
"No! It's not possible! This is Henry we're talking about! Go, Henry!" Terriermon cheered his human friend. "You can do it!"
"All right! I got it now!" Mari said with the snap of her fingers. "Time for my ultimate comeback."
"Comeback, huh? I'm already ahead by five questions and you haven't even answered one yet. Are you saying you've just been sounding out my ability for the past five questions?"
"What are you a moron? What I get is something completely different, brain boy. I haven't been concerned with your ability from the start."
Henry gave her a calm stare but the Gamemaster happily grabbed her joystick in preparation for the next question.
"You'll understand after the next question."
"Onto question six! Here goes…"
Without even listening to a single word from the question sentence, Mari aimlessly pressed her answer button. This caught everyone, including Henry, by surprise. The question was coming on the screen.
"What does she think she's doing?" Henry thought.
"Take a look, guys. By pushing the button before even one letter of the question is shown, the answers aren't even shown on the big screen," Dorothy said.
"What? You mean she actually knows the answer before the actual question comes up?! No! She has to be bluffing!" Davis scoffed.
"Yeah! There's no way she can outmaneuver Henry in the quiz section!" Terriermon said proudly. "Henry doesn't let anyone get the fast one on him."
"Just watch. She's going to get this one wrong!" Veemon replied.
"You guys really need to pipe it down back there. Question 6 stated: 'What great natural phenomenon is supposed to occur in 2012?' The answer is 'B)Polar shift'."
As soon as she stated her answer, there were a few moments of silence until… The Sorcerermon celebrated on the big screen. She had actually answered correctly.
"You are correct, Devilman Queen!"
Everyone gasped in utter disbelief at what had just transpired. Veemon and Terriermon were stunned with their mouths gaping open.
"No way! She got it right?!" Veemon said.
"You jinxed Henry!" Terriermon exclaimed. "Curse you, Veemon!"
"What did I do?!"
"It's true! That's the question he just said," TK replied. "He knows the answers before even seeing the darn questions."
"That can't be possible! It's not even humanly possible!" Kari exclaimed.
"Don't tell me that she's psychic! No! This is just some foul play!" Gatomon hissed."
"Calm down, everyone. That's not it. She memorized the quiz questions and their order," Dorothy explained. "The same goes for the placement of the answers."
"No! That's impossible!" Henry screamed while slamming his fists on the arcade stand. "The order of the quiz questions and the answers are all supposed to be mixed up."
"Ah, you're too accepting, Henry," Mari replied. "It may look all mixed up, but there's actually a rule to it. It takes about five questions to figure out what the formula is. Perhaps a five-question handicap wasn't exactly enough."
"What…?!"
"I knew we should have brought Izzy along!" growled Davis.
"Question seven…"
Like before, Mari answered the question without even letting Sorcermon finish speaking. She picked 'A' as her answer and automatically got it correct. Henry was starting to sweat bullets since he had caught himself in a tight predicament.
"Correct! Henry Wong answered five questions correctly and the Devilman Queen has answered two questions correctly!"
"Shoot! At this rate, Henry's defeat is inevitable," sighed Shintomon.
"You're right," Dorothy said.
"That's it. I'm through with this game shit," Metalla X spoke out from behind the group.
The warrior of friendship emerged through the group and steps forward at the center stage.
"Hey, Matt! What are you planning on doing?" Davis asked.
"Yeah! This is no time to lose your temper, dad."
"Correct! Henry Wong has five correct answers and the Devilman Queen has three answers correct!"
"I'm going to put an end to this crappy game my own way and you can't stop me either," Metalla X calmly stated.
"But, can you even get away with something like that?" Veemon wondered.
"Th-That's crazy, Yamato! We're inside Mari's territory!" Rei warned Metalla X. "All of our actions outside of a game play must conform to Mari's will."
"Yeah, that makes sense," Gatomon said. "Don't even try it."
"What if something happens and we get caught inside a void?" Patamon asked.
"Well, I can tell you this. It's better than watching this ridiculous game and looking on in silence. I'm taking action my own way!" Metalla X scoffed.
With that said, Metalla X puts a hand out directly towards the big screen and sends out a massive ki blast. Henry immediately saw this coming and barely ducked under the arcade stand. The blast penetrated through the big screen and wasted it into a cloud of debris smoke.
"Hey! Watch it! You nearly blasted Henry to kingdom come, pal!" Terriermon retorted.
"He did it! I can't believe he actually wasted that screen! We're free!" Davis exclaimed.
"No wait… Look!" Dorothy pointed out.
Their hopes were shattered as the big screen remained in tact with the game continuing. Metalla X turns around and growls deeply to himself in frustration.
"Damn it."
"Correct! Henry Wong has five correct answers and the Devilman Queen has five correct answers! Tie score!"
"No! It didn't work!" Kari said. "It was a nice try though, Matt."
"It's no use, Yamato. Give it up," sighed Shintomon.
"Shit…"
"Hey there, could you guys keep down over there? Don't interrupt me in the middle of my most enjoyable time. Jeez, the nerve of those loser," Mari scoffed.
"We're sorry about that. Please, do continue with the game," the higher digimon replied.
"Damn! So Matt's strongest attacks can't even work here? Are we powerless?" Davis wondered.
"Well, it appears that the only thing we can do is best Mari at the games," Dorothy predicted.
"Question eleven…"
However, this time Henry pressed the answer button on his station. Mari looks over and gives another piece of advice to her adversary.
"You can press the button before me you know. You can't always compete on perception alone."
"There's a twenty-five percent probability here," Henry replied. "That's not all that bad a number."
Henry answered 'B' to the question and automatically got it wrong. A large red X appeared across the screen, which indicated an incorrect answer. The Sorcerermon was seen with tears over his eyes.
"Incorrect! Henry's first error!"
"Damn it!"
With that said, the game progressed onward to Mari's favor. Davis and his group could only look on with disbelief that Henry was on the losing end. Mari kept on answering correctly on every question she had memorized beforehand. Henry relied too much on perception to guide him through the game, but even that resulted in him getting two more questions incorrect. Finally, on the seventh question, Henry made his third and last error.
"Incorrect! Contestant Henry Wong has been eliminated after his third error! Game over!"
"Uh, this can't be happening. I've been soundly defeated," sighed Henry. "I let them down."
"I can't believe it. My Henry lost the quiz round?" Terriermon said with shock. "I must be dreaming…"
"I didn't realize that there was a rule to the order of the quiz questions," Henry said.
"But you did put up a good effort, Henry," Mari said. "You're good at this. Not better than me but better than all of my other opponents. I'd like to go another round with you again."
"She's definitely no slouch and here I thought she would get at least one question wrong. Guess not all blondes are stupid after all."
"All right. Now all we can do is count on Dorothy," said Davis. "Hmmm, you know. Since we've won three games so easily, I didn't worry about this. What happens to us if we lose inside Mari's territory?"
"Sorry, everyone. But there was still something not very normal with that Mari girl," Henry explained to the group. "It's like she just enjoyed playing the game."
"You know, it makes me wonder if she really understands what Saitou is doing when she joined up with him," Kari wondered.
"No kidding. You brought up a good point," Keke agreed with Kari's statement.
"Henry, is there anything unusual about you?" Dorothy asked the teen.
"No, since Mari is the one with the ability," answered Henry.
"Thought you were going to have your soul stolen or something," Terriermon teased the boy.
"Ha. Ha. I forgot when to laugh," Henry replied sarcastically.
"All right. If that's the case…"
"Have you figured something out, Dorothy?" TK asked.
"We can probably lose this game over and over again, and nothing will happen to us. But if we surrender, we will all die," Dorothy said rather bluntly.
"What?! You're crazy! What do you mean we all die?!" Davis asked frantically.
"In the real game, once all the heroes lose, Game Over appears on the screen and afterward, there's a screen that ask you to forfeit or continue. You choose one or the other," Dorothy explained. If you continue, the opening is omitted, and you can restart the game from the first character again. But if you choose to give up…"
"I'm not liking where this is going," Veemon shuddered.
"…The words The End appear, with the graves of the heroes in the background. We would have all died."
"Hey, hold on a minute," said Davis. "So then, are you telling us that until we beat Mari, we just have to keep on playing the game?"
"No! We don't have time for this!" Keke snapped.
"Mari was never after our lives in the first place," sighed Dorothy. "Her goal was to buy time, until the tunnel is completely open."
Once again pulling on the level, Mari activated the slot machine to determine which game would be played for the next round. She stood beside the slot machine with a sly smirk.
"You're correct! Once the time comes, I'll just dispel my territory right away! All you have to do is enjoy playing these games with me for a few hours."
"No! We don't have time for this! Max is depending on us! Even if it is difficult, we're going to bust through this damn game and rescue him from that bastard," Davis thought. "Don't worry, Tai. We'll save your boy."
Miles off from the Devastated Water Facility
Since Eisdramon was defeated, so were his powers over BW. The warrior found himself in the middle of the exact spot where he last confronted Eisdramon.
"I can't feel that damn dragon's ki anymore. There is a good chance Tai's already kicked his ass. Good, now I'm free to aid him"
"Hey, BW!" a pair of voices call out from above.
BW looks up to see Crimson Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Cyberleomon, Pikkan and Jeri on one side. Accompanying them were Burning Greymon, Magna Garurumon, Zephrymon and Beetlemon. Riding on top of Magna Garurumon were Loweemon, Joe and Gomamon. Beetlemon carried Kumamon, Cody and Armadillomon along.
"Hey! So you guys managed to receive my signal? About time you guys showed up," BW said.
"We heard that Tai was in trouble according to what to the telepathic message you sent us," Pikkan said.
"We can already sense a strong energy signal coming from the east. Tai's battling one strong monster from the looks of things," Gallantmon said. "But if we get there sooner, we can help him out. Right, guys?"
"Be glad we were able to make it through on time," Burning Greymon replied. "Now, what do you do say we quit this chit chatting and help him out?"
"Good. All we have to do to follow out this monster's signal. I advise we be careful," the former Black War Greymon suggested.
With a nod, BW levitated from the surface to lead the two teams across towards the location of the battle where Omega X was near death against Atolmdramon.
"I just we're not too late, BW," Sakuyamon sighed.
"You and me both, Sakuyamon. Plus, we still have Max to save. Ooh, this is too much."
Back at the empty Amusement Park
With the two super powers yet to make contact with each other, another individual was flying across. His bruised and battered form was revealed through the darkness. It was Calumon. He was another lucky soul to have escaped Atolmdramon's wrath.
"Ohh… That mean ol' dragon… I was lucky to make it out of there. Oh, Tai. I hope you're all right. Ow, that hurts worse than a tummy ache. I just hope Takato and the others find us before that mean ol' dragon hurts any people."
Another location of the Amusement park
A bright star was coming down at the center of a carnival attraction. It was Atolmdramon, who was continuing his hunt for Omega X. The warrior hid behind a wall while sensing out the dragon beast's wicked ki.
"Not yet…"
Atolmdramon entered an empty circus tent and marched across to find his prey. The warrior of courage waited for the right opportunity to launch an attack on the beast. As soon as Atolmdramon walked out to the other side, Omega X emerged out of hiding with his palms cupped together.
"Take this! TIMES TEN TERRA BEAM!"
The fused warrior unleashes a massive dose of his patented attack onto Atolmdramon. The beast turned and was struck head-on with the blast. The circus tent was burnt down in the process. He looked across to find a deeped trail across the amusement park where he launched his attack. He left a trail of destruction with smoke clouds building up at it's wake.
"Did I get him?!"
Omega X gasped in utter disbelief when he saw Atolmdramon emerged without a single scathe on his body.
"Well, I just had to ask!"
"Too bad, Taichi. I'm still alive."
"Impossible! How could a Times Ten Terra Beam not have any effect on this guy?!"
"If that was your most powerful technique, then you have no chance in hell."
The dragon beast retaliates by launching his own massive blast directly towards Omega X. He takes off out of the area and flies off into the heavens. Unfortunately, the blast was also a heat-seeking blast. In turn, everywhere Omega X moved, the blast would follow his every move. By making u-turns across the heavens, Omega X tried everything to maneuver from the homing beam. He tried his Time Warp teleportation, which proved useless in this situation. The blast struck Omega X head on and sent him sailing across through tower structure.
Omega X's pant leg is caught in between a metal pole as his unconscious form was dangling around. Calumon stopped to investigate the sudden eruption.
"What was that? Whatever it was, it does not sound good."
As soon as Calumon looked up towards the tower, he saw an unconscious Omega X hanging. The little digimon screamed out in horror at the sight of the beaten warrior.
"Oh no! This is bad! Oh no! I really do wish Takato and the others do make it here! Tai needs help!"
Unbeknownst to Calumon, the dragon beast named Atolmdramon was levitating over to where Omega X was hanging. A sinister grin forms across the monster's chagrin. The fate of Omega X may very well be sealed in just a matter of moments with Atolmdramon proving to possessing greater strength than all the other six monsters.
Could anyone make it to Tai's aid in time? That is the question lingering in Calumon's mind now.
Deep past Mari's territory. Center of the Demon's Cavern
Meanwhile, back at the center of the cavern, the other Spellcasters were still awaiting for the arrival of Taichi's friends. Neo was still meditating at the center of the lake inside the boat. The tunnel above his head was still near it's completion.
"Everything is going smoothly, Mr. Saitou. I can feel my powers growing at an extraordinary rate. It probably won't take more than two hours for the tunnel's completion. Take a look, Himo. Behind me. The strongest of the low-level class Corrupts are not getting a whiff of the Earth's stench."
Saitou simply sits back on a comfortable couch with the television set in front of him. A movie was beginning to play for the rather calm Dark Angel.
"Less than two hours, huh? That's just about the time this movie of mine will be over. I'll be expecting a favorable response from you, Max Kamiya."
"Bah! I'll die before I cooperate with you! Father! Everyone! There isn't any time left! Hurry up and save me!"
Omega X has successfully defeated Eisdramon and makes a new friend in the process. However, that new bond was short lived with Atolmdramon arriving on the scene. This monster has proven to be much more formidable than all the seven monsters. With Omega X on the verge of defeat, can BW lead the two teams in time to save the warrior of courage? Plus, can Davis' group put all of their faith on Dorothy, who takes center stage against Mari in her gaming territory? Max's life is uncertain along with the fate of multiple worlds.

In case you guys were wondering how Omega X gained the Ryu-Ken technique, well I have a movie fic planned out where he and Crimson Gallantmon merge together. It is not a digital warrior fusion but more of an upgrade and an additional new technique to boost. One day, I hope to have that fic story up. Can you imagine a Crimson Omega X using the Ryu-Ken by now? Oh man, I know I can! ((drools in thought))
Well, next chapter will include the fate of the Gamemaster and the continuation of Atolmdramon. I hope to get the next chapter up by Friday at the latest. Hope everyone is ready for a great 2005. I know I hope to have a great New Year. Until then, check back for more updates, peace!

Now, let's get on with the fic already. I know you guys are dying to see what Dorothy will do to Mari. Enjoy!
Last time, Omega X was in a tight pinch when he battled Eisdramon for possession of a digicore piece. With Novadramon waiting in the wings, the warrior finally brought down the ice dragon after the trecherous beast blinded him with ice in his eyes. Omega X laid waste to the cowardly Eisdramon with the Ryu-Ken and gained a piece of a digicore. To his surprise, Novadramon, who was an actual worthy opponent, offered to postpone their battle to a later date, when Taichi's injuries were healed. However, Atolmdramon, the strongest of the seven monsters, intervened and killed his own fellow monster, Novadramon, without any difficulty. The evil dragon beast unleashed an even greater attack at the warrior of courage and takes him out of the game. Already stepping up as Omega X's final opponent, Atolmdramon has already proven his worth. Taichi faces his greatest crisis yet. However, help is along the way. BW has gathered Takato's and Takuya's groups together to race to the scene.
Meanwhile, back at Demon's Cavern, Davis and the others were held up by the Gamemaster, Mari. Within her territory, one must beat her games. However, with only one more win to go, Mari stepped on forward to play, and her abilities were surprisingly overwhelming. Only less than two hours remain until the tunnel to the Dark Realm is completed. Can Davis and the others be able to escape this territory before then?

Dorothy's True Character Revealed! The True Dragon of Death, Doomsdramon Emerges!
Mari's Territory
After having lost their first game, Davis and his team were standing firm, as Mari the Gamemaster was ready to continue her games. They only had less than two hours before the tunnel is complete. Mari was doing a rather excellent job at holding back the team for the time being. Even Metalla X's physicality proved useless while inside of her territory. He couldn't even sense out Atolmdramon's presence because the territory blocked out all outside occurrences, as if the territory were locked inside another dimension.
The moment of silence was broken as Mari went over to pull the level from the slot machine.
"Are we going to stand here and gawk at each other all day? C'mon, I'm really in a good mood! Let's continue playing some more games!"
"Bah, we don't have time for this crap," muttered Metalla X.
"I'm going to have you guys play games with me here until the tunnel to the Dark Realm is opened up."
"So that's her plan! Her objective was to stall time all along!" Davis exclaimed. "That's why she's playing these games so casually!"
"Once the tunnel opens up, I'll just power down my territory and lose on purpose," Mari informed the leader.
As soon as she said that, she pulled on the level for the slot machine to determine the next game.
"Damn it," TK cursed. "Do we have to keep playing these games with this wench for all that time?"
"There has to be another way!" Patamon said.
"It's hopeless," Metalla X sighed. "As much as I hate to admit it, I tried blasting the damn thing down and nothing happened. The territories of these Spellcasters are one of a kind if my attacks proved useless against one of them."
"So, what are you going to do, Matt?" asked Kari.
"I'm not taking any part of this. Wake me up when it's over," Metalla X replied as he walked over to rest in a corner.
"I don't blame you. That form must really take a lot out of you," Gatomon said. "You should get rest before we end up facing Saitou."
"So, is there any chance of you winning this next game, Dorothy?" Davis asked.
"I honestly don't know. Then again, if things go the way I imagine they will, my heart will be heavy over beating Mari."
"Um, try speaking more moderately," Veemon said.
"Hey, what does she mean by that, Henry?" asked Terriermon.
"You're asking me?"
"Yeah. What do you mean by that?" wondered Davis.
"Well, Mari's ability is to make the game a life-size experience," said Dorothy. "If, like the real game, we decide to give up at the end, it would cause us to die, but as long as we keep continuing the game, it doesn't really matter. In other words, inside of this territory, each person ends up the way they would at the end of the game. Mari doesn't realize the true terror of her own ability."
"Ok… Now you're making sense," Veemon and Davis said.
"If that's the case, then… Oh no," TK whispered.
"Mari is just being used by Saitou," Dorothy continued on. "Saitou. What a cruel human you are for coming up with this plan."
The slot machine stopped with three categories to determine the next game. The slots read 'Exercise', 'DDR' and 'Level G'.
"All right! My favorite game!" Mari giggled. "Now, the slots have been decided. Who's coming forward next? Then again, it looks like we have someone sleeping in the back."
Dorothy steps forward with her face lowered to face the ground. She looks up and makes eye contact with Mari. There was a sudden guilt of thought clouding the enigmatic girl.
"I will play you next."
"DDR, huh? They've really put out some lifelike work on the recent ones," Keke said.
"No kidding. I've been always wanting to try one out," replied Rei. "Now that I'm healed, I can try it out."
"Well, let's just hope we live through the next two hours," sighed Henry. "If this is Mari's favorite game, then she has to be really good at it. I just hope Dorothy knows what she's doing."
"Momentai, Henry. Just believe in her and we'll manage to pull through," Terriermon reassured the boy.
"Well, it is possible Dorothy might employ some psychological warfare on Mari to throw her off her game," Henry stated. "I've seen her defeat opponents in all types of games in school. Let me tell you, she shows no mercy."
"You're serious, Henry?" TK asked.
"Victory or defeat depends on how much of her opponent's concentration she can rob from her."
As Dorothy stepped up onto her side of a DDR machine, she looked over at the confident Mari. Her eyes seem to show a glimmer of guilt.
"Mari, there's something I need to ask you," Dorothy said.
"What's that?"
"Was it Saitou that told you to use Devilman Game Battler to compete against us?"
"Uh huh. That's right. He said this game would be very appropriate since it's my favorite game of all time. I'm really good in the actual game! I've gotten the highest score in the district I live!"
"I see. I knew it."
"Um, are you okay? You look a little tense."
"Do you even know what Saitou is trying to do?"
"Of course, I do! Synisters and really nasty monsters are going to come right out of the Dark Realm and cause all kinds of mayhem! It sounds like a lot of fun if you ask me. My school, my bossy parents and even those mean people who don't appreciate me will be gone. As long as I stay inside my territory, I can relax and play my games. Then, once everything is finished, I'll go and become my own Teen Idol without any competition to get in my way! No Synister or digimon for that matter can defeat me in this game."
"Did you know if you lose this game, you'll die?"
The word alone was enough to catch Mari's undivided attention. She turns around with a slightly nervous reaction to the question proposed by Dorothy. Even everyone else was shocked by the announcement.
"Huh?!" Mari gasped.
"What?! Die?!" asked Patamon.
"That's crazy!" Davis exclaimed.
"I admit I never saw this one coming," Shintomon stated.
"You will die, Mari. Did you know that, too?" Dorothy almost repeated the same question.
"Bah! You're just trying to make me uneasy so you'll prevent me from winning, aren't you?" Mari chuckled. "That was a pretty cheap ploy, girly. I'm not going to fall for that lie!"
"You've probably seen the ending of this game a lot more times than I have, right?"
"The ending…?"
Mari immediately looks back at the many times she has completed the entire game. She actual remembers the Devilman King being killed after losing.
"When the Devilman King loses, it clearly states on the screen that he has died. Games such are these are quite rare, even to this very day. It states 'The Devilman King has died. Peace has been restored to the once great city!' "
The words 'died' repeated over and over again within Mari's mind. Suddenly, she was growing a little uneasy over this and her confidence was quickly shattered. Dorothy's psychological warfare was getting the best of the Gamemaster already.
"And your ability will faithfully recreate that same ending of this game. It's safe to say that this is the first time you've used your ability on Devilman's Game Battler."
"Yes, that's true. But this game requires at least eleven or thirteen in my territory to play. I don't see any other game working like that!"
"Wrong. It's not just limiting it to this game, you've never used your ability on any game that hinted at dying, either at the end or during play. Am I wrong?"
"Well…"
"Saitou would have somehow stopped you from doing so."
"That's true, all right…"
Mari immediately looks back to a conversation she had with Saitou about her gaming abilities. The voice of Saitou was still echoing through her mind.
"Games involving the taking the lives consumed an unusually large amount of your physical and mental strength. Until such a critical time comes that I order you to do so, do not use your ability."
Those were the exact piece of advice Saitou gave Mari before having a chance to first exploit her Spellcaster powers.
"At that time, Saitou did in fact tell me…"
"Hold on a second, Dorothy!" Davis calls out to the teen. "Didn't Mari say earlier that she has no interest in taking our lives?"
"Whatever else maybe going on, I can't believe that girl would be risking her own life over this game," TK finished Davis sentence.
"I was going to say that, TK."
"You're right."
Dorothy clenched her fists so tight that crimson started dropping from her hands. She looks down at her bloody hands and sighs deeply.
"Mari herself did not intend this. But as for Saitou…" Dorothy growled. "I'll come to my conclusion. Saitou has sacrificed you to attain his objective."
Dorothy's words alone once again struck a cord within Mari and caused her to freeze in place. The Gamemaster was really starting to have second thoughts about going through with the game. But…
"GAME START!" a Rosemon announced on the DDR screens.
"Huh?! Oh no!"
"Dance and perform at your best! The one with the best score wins! Go! Go! Go!"
The two teen girls started to break out some really fancy and athletic dance skills during the game's start. Both have been evenly performing at their best. It seems Mari has some competition with the D-Reaper's reincarnation.
"Wow, there they go," Shintomon said.
"As long as we don't give up, we can continue as many times as we want," Keke replied. "But if Mari herself loses this one time, she dies."
"Knowing that, Saitou has chosen this game," stated Veemon.
"Poor Mari did not know this, and Saitou intentionally did not tell her," sighed Shintomon. "You know what's worse. Saitou's counted on us that we would realize it. He assumed that we would be unable to kill her, since she was just being used."
"Sure enough. I just hope Dorothy would be unable to do such a thing," Kari said.
"Then again, you're forgetting what she once was before," Gatomon informed everyone. "Once she merged with Avengemon's data, she clearly regained her memories from her former life as the D-Reaper."
"Oh yeah. I forgot, but c'mon this is Dorothy. She wouldn't kill another human," Davis said. "Henry, what do you think?"
Henry remained silent as ever and kept an eye on Dorothy with a serious demeanor.
"Um, okay. This is just getting too spooky for me."
"But Dorothy will defeat Mari," Shintomon replied. "That's why she told Mari the truth about the matters to throw her off her game. If she didn't use any psychological warfare, there would be no way she could have beaten Mari. Plus, we don't have much time left to begin with. In order to protect your world and the Digital Worlds, Dorothy decided to use the most heartless and cruelest method employed."
"In her case, she had no choice but to decide on it," Kari said.
Davis and Veemon gasped after hearing the revelation behind Dorothy's strategy. Even Davis was slightly disgusted that a close friend would be employing a cruel method on another human being.
"Dorothy…"
"Mr. Saitou sacrificed me?!" Mari shuddered in thought. "That can't be true! It can't!"
The Gamemaster looks back to the first time she was ever introduced to Saitou. Much like Rei, Mari was recruited in another alternate world through space and time itself.
Flashback
One day, at a local arcade, Mari was playing another dose of her favorite game, Devilman's Game Battler. She felt a presence looming behind her and figured another fan wanted to praise her abilities.
"Wow, you're really good at this game."
As Mari turned around, she saw Saitou standing over her with an innocent smirk. This was the first time an adult has come over to recognize her skills.
"Want to go against me, Miss Idol?"
"Fine with me, but I'm really good at this game."
"Ha. I can't wait."
Once they played against each other, the conclusion came down to Saitou actually defeating her. Mari never thought anyone would decisively hand her a loss at the game. Rather than whine about her loss, she was actually glad and looked up to Saitou from that one forward.
"That was awesome, Mr. Saitou! I've never meet anyone who could go toe-to-toe with me at that game before!"
"You really like games that much, do you?"
"Well, that not to mention being an Internet idol. My dream is to become a grand dance idol where I can be praised across the country. It'd be great to become famous and escape the boring normal life. Besides, all of my so-called friends are idiots."
"You know there is something even more fun than games."
"Really? Even being an dance and Internet idol?"
"Yes."
"Do tell."
"It's something terribly exciting."
"Well, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me!"
"I'll tell you once we get to know each other better."
"Yes, that's exactly what he told me. My respect for the man grew. I looked up to him like a father I never even had."
Mari and Saitou stood beside each other on top of an apartment roof while looking at towards the nightly skies.
"So, you're really going to change this world by yourself, Mr. Saitou?"
"Yes, and I need your abilities in order to fulfill my wish."
"I maybe really talented, but I don't have any supernatural powers or anything."
"Ah, but they will be soon awakened. Only you have the ability to bring them out at your desire, Mari. Let's make this dull world even more interesting. Between your stupid parents, your low-level teachers, and your so-called friends, you must be pretty fed up. Right?"
Mari stood alone for a moment in a realm of darkness but not long before a dark angel swoops down to wrap his angels around her. She was stunned at first sight of the angel but looked up at Saitou's eyes. Her cheeks blushed and she rubbed herself against his protective wings.
End of Flashback
"Saitou. His wings wrapped around me like my own guardian angel. I didn't have very many friends and my family wasn't exactly there for me. He was my own guardian angel of darkness. Eventually, I even grew to love the man himself… But it's true. At the end of this game, the spirit of the Devilman King, which was my only ally in this game, gets called into Heaven. He does die. But how could Mr. Saitou sacrifice me through this? I can't be… Not the man I grew to develop a fond for…"
Suddenly, Mari's train of thought was thrown off course. She had suddenly missed an easy step on her DDR performance and had points deducted. Dorothy had successfully broken through her concentrated mind and weighted her down emotionally.
"Hey! She just missed an easy step!" Davis said.
"Mari's started to shaken up," Henry replied.
"Yep and it's only going to get worse for her," said Terriermon.
Mari attempted to make a comeback and danced accordingly. Her train of thoughts was declining, which resulted in a rather poor performance. The words 'death' and 'die' were still lingering in her mind after what Dorothy had revealed.
"I thought my ability was just to take video games and make them a real, lifelike experience!" Mari stuttered in thought. "That's what I thought…! Have I been deceived by the one man I actually cared for?"
More of Saitou's orders were still clouding her mind even during play.
"Fight against Taichi and his friends using Devilman Game Battler. It's the game most suitable to you. With this game, those guys don't stand a chance against you."
Mari's gaming performance was becoming rather poor once she continued missing even the easiest of steps. Her forehead became drenched with nervous sweat and her legs were becoming fragile.
"Mari's dance performance is not looking good. She's even missing the easiest of the steps," TK pointed out.
"I know. I won't be long now," Davis replied.
"She's totally confused as we speak," Henry said.
"No! What do I do?! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Dorothy was already ahead with more points over the Gamemaster and on the verge of victory. The Gamemaster couldn't believe she was getting outmaneuvered by an individual who was not named Saitou. With her points as low as they were, Mari's fate could very well be sealed within the next few moments.
Outside of the devastated Water Facility/Amusement Park
The amusement was hauntly silent for the time being just like many parts of the globe. People have evacuated many cities especially with natural disasters becoming increasingly common and there were no digicores to repair the damages. Only one monster remained and even this one had enough power to bring down a level four fusion warrior down to his knees.
Omega X was hanging against a metal bar in an unconscious state. Looking on with a hungry buzzard was Atolmdramon. A sick smile appeared across his sinister chagrin. Suddenly, the warrior's body started to set of a bright golden aura and he was immediately pulled apart into two separate bodies. Tai and Agumon were now hanging about on the steel bar.
"So, you've lost your power. I would have figured your fused form wouldn't last too long with so much damage inflicted to your body."
Atolmdramon gazed across at the two unconscious forms and chuckled deeply.
"Taichi Kamiya, your long claim as the most powerful warrior across both the human world and the digital worlds has finally seen it's last day. The end of days is upon your kind, Taichi."
He then grabbed both Tai and Agumon with both of his hands.
"Now, there's no need for me to deal with you directly. Your fated battle with Dark Angel has been postponed for good."
The dragon beast looked down towards the surface to notice a long sword being pointed directly upward from a pirate statue. An idea lingered within his treacherous mind. He only had one word to say to the two heroes before their actual end.
"Sayanora."
Atolmdramon dropped the two bodies and happily watched them come close to becoming impaled through the sword. The end of Taichi Kamiya was soon at hand. However, it was not long before a large ball of energy shot out towards the sword blade and blasted it away. This managed to catch Atolmdramon's undivided attention.
"What? What just happened?!"
Emerging out of the destructive blast was Cyberleomon. He managed to snatch up both Tai and Agumon in his arms.
"I've got you, my friends," the metal lion beast said.
"What is the meaning of this interference?" Atolmdramon wondered.
"You sure do have a rough way of saving people. Huh, Aldamon?" Kazemon's voice calls out.
"Hey, it was either that or see those two getting shwered," answered Aldamon.
"Besides, we had little time to react before those two would had met their end," Beowulfmon said.
"It's a good thing we managed to save them in the nick of time," replied Loweemon.
"We got here as fast as we could," Pikkan said.
"Better late than ever," stated Sakuyamon.
"Good! Those two are still alive!" BW sighed with relief. "But what the hell just happened to the ice monster? I guess from the looks of it, that guy is the last monster."
"No doubt about it," Gallantmon said.
"Those ki… It's the legendary warriors," a blind Agumon said. "And I also sense BW, Gallantmon, Sakuyamon and the others!"
"Don't forget about us," Digmon's hillbilly voice answered.
"And about us," Joe said.
"Tai. We're sorry we're all late," Gallantmon said.
"You guys… actually came?" Tai, who was still blind, said. "You guys rock."
"Yay! You guys actually came!" Calumon cheered from out of the bushes.
"Hey, it's Calumon!" Jeri exclaimed.
The girl and the tiny digimon shared a heartfelt hug. Everyone else crowded around Tai and Agumon. Little do they realize that they were still blinded as a result of Eisdramon's sneak attack.
"So guys actually came. We're glad," Agumon said.
"It might be a little embarrassing to be saved by you guys, thought. But, thank you," replied Tai. "However, even if we all ganged up on this bastard, we would not be guaranteed of a victory."
"Actually, we know that," Gallantmon said.
"What?"
"As much as we hate to admit it, we're all aware that even if we gang up on him, there isn't a chance in hell that we could win," said Aldamon.
"So, what are you guys thinking?" Agumon wondered.
"At full power, you could still take him on," Kumamon said. "We're willing to lend you our energy, but we would also like to fight by your side."
"So, please. Accept our offering," Kazemon said.
"The powers of the six legendary warriors and the Tamers flowing through you," Beetlemon stated.
"We came to lend you energy and fight together at our very best," Cyberleomon replied.
"I don't know what to say guys…" Tai stuttered.
They were immediately interrupted by laughter coming from Atolmdramon. The dragon beast was mocking their so-called last ditch efforts to defeat him.
"What are you fools babbling about?" Atolmdramon said. "Don't you notice how disgraceful those two look right now? Do you really think those two have the power to save Earth?"
"Yes, we do!" Gallantmon called out in defiance. "Tai and Agumon make up the strongest warrior across the digital universe and a protector of this planet. I've looked up to him for the last five years and I'm not about to lose faith in him. As long as we stand by his side, bastards like you will be put out of commission."
"You tell him, Gallantmon!" Sakuyamon nodded in agreement.
"The likes of you wouldn't understand the true power we possess," Pikkan speaks out. "Everyone! Power up your ki at your maximum!"
(Play Digimon Frontier Evolution theme With the Will)
With that said, the majority of the warriors started to sport auras of light. Crimson Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Pikkan, Cyberleomon, Digmon and Zudomon surrounded the two wounded heroes. While holding onto Calumon, Jeri stood away from the path. She took refuge with Joe and Cody.
Meanwhile, Aldamon and the five other legendary warriors blocked out the path between the others away from Atolmdramon. The dragon beast found himself surrounded by the six warriors at once.
"Hurry it up, guys! We'll hold this guy off while you give Tai and Agumon enough energy!" Aldamon calls out. "All right, everyone! Attack!"
"Lighting Blitz!" Beetlemon calls out while summoning a streak of lighting through his horn.
"Hurricance Wave!" Kazemon cried out as she brings forth a pair of tornadoes.
"Crystal Freeze!" Kumamon said while blowing a gust of frosty wind at the dragon beast.
"Shadow Meteor!" Loweemon shouted with a lion's mouth shooting out a dark energy blast.
"Frozen Hunter!" Beowulfmon calls forth a blue flamed wolf towards the enemy.
"Now, it's my turn! Solar Wind Destroyer!" Aldamon shouted as he sends a sphere of heat energy towards Atolmdramon.
The array of attacks sent by the six legendary warriors struck Atolmdramon head on. However, the warriors did not end their attack from there. The warriors, minus Aldamon and Beowulfmon, immediately digivolved into their beast forms.
"EXECUTE! SLIDE EVOLUTION!"
"Metal Kabuterimon!"
"Zephrymon!"
"Koriikkakumon!"
"Kaiser Leomon!"
A thick smoke cloud covered the dragon beast and this gave the warriors another opportunity to attack in a unit.
"Electron Cannon!" Metal Kabuterimon fired a powerful electric blast through his cannon.
"Hurricane Hail!" Zephrymon shouted as she sent out a gust of winds towards Atolmdramon.
"Avalance Axes!" Koriikakkumon said while slashing across the beast with his axes.
"Ebony Blast!" Kaiser Leomon roared as he sends out a dark energy beam through his mouth.
These four attacks combined into one and slammed hard against Atolmdramon. Aldamon and Beowulfmon de-digivolved back into Takuya and Kouji.
"Now! Time to turn up the heat!" Takuya exclaimed. "EXCUTE! NOW! UNIFIED SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
"EXECUTE! NOW! UNIFIED SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
The two boys were immediately covered by digicode and underwent their transformation into the two legendary Zeta-Spirit warriors. In place of Takuya was a sword-wielding titan with a head similar to the infamous War Greymon. The other was a wolf carrying heavy artillery and he took the place of Kouji. This one has a similar kin appearance to Metal Garurumon.
"Kaiser Greymon!"
"Magna Garurumon!"
The smoke covered beast was still recovering from the warriors' valiant attacks. Next up were the two Zeta-Hybrids. Magna Garurumon aimed his long cannon arm directly towards Atolmdramon.
"Eat this! Feral Fire!"
The blast struck the beast head-on but the warrior of light was not through with his onslaught. Magna Garurumon fired away an array of missiles from his back.
"Magna Rockets!"
These missiles struck Atolmdramon. However, Kaiser Greymon was more than happy to pick up where Magna Garurumon left off.
"It's my turn! All right! This one's for Tai!" Kaiser Greymon roared out as he directly pointed his flame-covered sword at the monster. "Dragonfire Crossbow!"
The devastating attack struck Atolmdramon and caused even more damage onto his body. Kaiser Greymon followed it up with yet another powerful attack. This time he slammed his blade through the surface ground and unleashes an array of flame-covered dragons.
"Pyro Dragons!"
The flame dragons wrapped around Atolmdramon and exploded against his form. A large smoke cloud covered the dragon beast as the warriors cheered happily over their glorious efforts.
"They got him!" Joe cheered. "Yeah!"
"But how long will that last?" Cody wondered.
"Not long since Tai and Agumon look be back to full power!" Jeri pointed out to the rejuvenated leader.
The digimon had already transferred portions of their own energy into Tai and Agumon in order to boost their power. However, Tai knew that this would be not be enough to fully restore his level four strength.
"You guys! I doubt this will be enough though!" Tai exclaimed.
"We know, which is why we're going to be transferring most of our energy," said Sakuyamon.
"This won't take much longer," replied Gallantmon.
(End theme)
As the smoke clouds suddenly cleared, there was not a single trace of Atolmdramon. Kaiser Greymon and the warriors figured that they had already accomplished their goal. That is until Magna Garurumon was the first to look out towards where everyone else was transferring their energy to Tai and Agumon.
"No! We didn't get him!" Magna Garurumon cried out. "Everyone look out!"
"What?! We didn't get him?!" gasped Kaiser Greymon.
With that said, Atolmdramon phased above the digimon and caught them all off guard. The dragon beast delivers a sweeping kick all across to knock down every single digimon, with the exception of Crimson Gallantmon. The crimson knight barely managed to snare Tai and Agumon away. The dragon set his sights on the knight and sets out to destroy Tai along with him. As he pointed a finger towards them, Sakuyamon smashed her staff across his face. The beast was barely fazed by the blow and quickly drives a knee into her gut.
"Sakuyamon!" Gallantmon cried out.
"Not so fast jackass!" Pikkan exclaimed. "Take this! Thunder Flash Attack!"
The Alterian directed his attack on Atolmdramon, but he put out a hand and easily slapped it away. Cyberleomon came down and attacked Atolmdramon head on with fists. However, the dragon beast maneuvered from each blow. Another knee was driven, this time into Cyberleomon.
"Gold Rush!"
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
Atolmdramon saw the next set of attacks coming. He turned to effortlessly catch Zudomon's hammer and sent a blast to dispel Digmon's drills. He sends the hammer back at Zudomon, which struck him chest first. Then, he rushes over to Digmon and sends him flying back with a vicious kick.
The Legendary warriors came down to give Atolmdrmaon another assault. However, the beast was ready for them and threw out an aura barrier to send them all flying back. He phases out and sends a knee into Magna Garurumon's gut. The warrior of light coughed out blood due to the force driven into his gut. Atolmdrmaon held up tightly around his head and was ready to crush him at any given moment. He turns around to face the other warriors.
"So, how do you like that? I'm in an entirely different class than the other seven beasts."
"You put him down!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed while wielding his sword.
"We're coming, Kouji!" Kaiser Leomon exclaimed.
"Attack as one, again!" Zephrymon declared.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" said Metal Kabuterimon.
"Me either!" replied Koriikkakumon.
Just as the legendary warriors went for another attack, Atolmdramon phased out to leave Magna Garurumon. The moment they were caught off guard, this allowed Atolmdramon to appear levitating above them.
"You guys don't understand the reason why I came here, don't you?"
"No! In fact, we don't care!" Kaiser Greymon retorted. "You've come to kill our planet! That's what!"
"Well, in that case. Away with you all! Berserker Rage!"
Atolmdramon sends down an array of powerful dark blasts upon the six legendary warriors at once. They tried maneuvering away but the blasts were too widespread and caught them all in one full swoop. Their cries echoed across the amusement park with Agumon feeling out their power being drained by the blasts.
"Gallantmon! We have to hurry this up!" Tai said.
"I know!"
"We're almost there," Agumon said. "We should be back at full power anytime now."
"C'mon, everyone! We can't let them become sacrificial lambs!" Sakuyamon called out to everyone else.
The female led the charge with Pikkan and Cyberleomon. They all attacked Atolmdramon head on.
"Spirit Strike!"
"Thunder Flash Attack!"
"Justice Fist!"
With each attack being directed to Atolmdramon, the beast merely used swift kicks and swipes to knock each projectile away effortlessly.
"Now, you guys are starting to bore me," yawned Atolmdramon. "This persistence has gone on far enough."
"We didn't even make a damn hit on this bastard!" Pikkan cursed. "Any other bright ideas, Sakuyamon?"
"No, but how about this?!" BW's voice calls out.
The warrior flies down at Atolmdramon at hyper speed and goes for a ki attack. The dragon beast was ready for his assault but was quickly caught off track when BW phased out. Atolmdramon searched his surroundings until he sensed BW's presence behind him. He turned and was struck head on with BW's ki attack. The blast slammed against the beast but it did not do any damage to his hard skin.
"Stupid insect. Was that all you've got?" Atolmdramon laughed.
Atolmdramon responds with a spinning back kick to send BW sailing across. Sakuyamon rushes over to guide BW to his feet.
"Thank you, Sakuyamon…"
"Thank me later. We still have ourselves a fight at our hands."
"Damn! I hope you're very close to full power by now, Tai!" Pikkan cried out to the leader.
"Almost there, Gallantmon. Then, I'll be back on my feet in no time," Tai said. "All right, Agumon. Ready to kick some butt again?"
"You know I am!"
"I've already kicked their asses already. Don't make me do it again," Atolmdramon said. "Now, I think we should pick up where we last left off, Tai- Huh?!"
Suddenly, Atolmdramon felt power increasing from both Tai and Agumon. The transferred power from the other digimon was already having their effects on the duo. Their bodies started to radiate with golden aura energy.
"Yeah! Our bodies are ready to merge again!" Tai exclaimed. "This is great! Agumon, ready to get back in the game?"
"Yep!"
"Hey, Atolmdramon! You hang on tight! We're coming back to kick your ass!" Tai warned the dragon beast.
"Oh, is that a threat or a promise? I'm curious to know how much ki you have already collected by now."
"We're going to show you!" Tai screamed out as his body became radiated with a golden light.
"Wow, this is awesome, Tai! You and Agumon are back at full power!" Gallantmon said.
"Yeah, just a little more should do."
"But, Tai. If you and Agumon intake more energy like this, your normal bodies will not take it. You two could die!"
"That maybe so, Gallantmon. But if my Times Ten Terra Beam has no effect on him, then I'm not going to be able to beat him without having power beyond this!"
"We want to see if we can overcome our own limits," Agumon stated.
"Sure. No problem, guys. Thanks to Grani's power, you'll have all the energy you need. Take this as a blessing from him."
"Bah! That won't do you any good!" Atolmdramon called out. "I'm not about to give you anymore time to collect more ki!"
"Hold it, jackass! You still haven't dealt with us!" Pikkan roared out.
"Gallantmon! Hurry it up! We'll hold him back!" BW exclaimed.
"Don't forget about us," said Kaiser Greymon who emerged from the cloud smoke.
The other warriors followed out his lead and aided the others against Atolmdramon. Their job was to stall time for Tai and Agumon to become fully restored. Gallantmon grabs both Tai and Agumon to transfer more energy into his body. The leader felt more energy surging through his body and became delighted.
"Tai! Please, don't take in too much. You could die!"
"Sorry, Gallantmon, but it has to be done! Otherwise, we're all going to die at the hands of this creep! My son needs us. So we have to stamp this guy out and save him from Saitou's clutches!"
"Ok! Here goes nothing!"
"Unfortunately, I don't have any time for this. Why don't you all come at me at once?" laughed Atolmdramon.
"We'll be more than happy to oblige," replied Cyberleomon.
"Damn, what's it going it take? I doubt he'll even give us time to form Susanoomon," Kaiser Leomon said.
"I know," replied Kaiser Greymon. "We'll just fight together in sheer numbers."
"Don't forget about us," Digmon calls out.
The wounded Digmon and Zudomon rejoined with the others to aid them in the struggle against the near invincible Atolmdramon.
"We won't allow you to interfere with Tai's power-up!" Zephrymon warned the beast.
"Oh please. Even with these great numbers, I can still defeat you blindfolded," Atolmdramon said.
"What?! You want to prove it?!" Metal Kabuterimon growled.
"I want to, but Taichi is the one I want. Now, get down here and let's end this now!"
"Are you almost done yet, Tai?"
"Almost there, Gallantmon."
"Let's hurry because the others look like they might not hold him off much longer."
"Ok, Tai. Let's take in more energy. This should be more than enough to suffice."
"Right…"
"That should be enough, Taichi!" Atolmdramon growled. "Now, fight me!"
"Now before we get our shots in! Dragonfire Crossbow!"
"Magna Rockets!"
"Balls of Thunder!"
"Plasma Pods!"
"Frozen Arrowheads!"
"Ebony Blast!"
"Spirit Strike!"
"Thunder Flash Attack!"
"Justice Fist!"
"Gold Rush!"
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"That leaves room for this!" BW exclaimed as he polished off the beast with a powerful ki blast.
This array of attacks from all sides gave Tai and Agumon enough time to collect more energy. However, Gallantmon was slowly becoming drained and his crimson form was starting to fade off.
"I'm becoming drained…"
"We're almost there, Gallantmon. Almost there," Tai said.
Leaping out from the cloud smoke was Atolmdramon. He immediately drew his attention over to Tai and Agumon with fists coated with negative energy.
"Enough of this! My patience has grown thin! Prepare to die, Taichi!"
Suddenly, a chain of events occurred within the golden sphere of light. The two bodies were merged together into a bio-mergence sequence. In place of Tai and Agumon was a fully restored Omega X at the fourth level. His power was not only fully restored but his form was also radiating slightly crimson thanks in part to Gallantmon's power transfer.
"What's this?! He's back… at full power?!" Atolmdramon gasped.
"I hope that was enough," Crimson Gallantmon panted.
"That's fine, Gallantmon. Thank you," a rejuvenated Omega X replied. "I feel refreshed."
"Incredible! Tai just took in more power than his usual Super level four status!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Oh boy. Atolmdramon's in for it now," commented Magna Garurumon.
"No doubt. I certainly wouldn't want to be him now," replied Sakuyamon.
Mari's Territory
The game continued with Mari and Dorothy competing in a DDR contest. So far, Mari was way behind after losing her momentum. Dorothy, on the other hand, remained calm and fluent with her movements. Davis and the group looked on with perplexed looks across their faces. Mari looked across the screen and saw more points being deducted from her performance. She turns her head away and faced Dorothy, who continued to play the game like an ace.
"Isn't there anything I can do?" Mari asked frantically.
The Gamemaster misses yet another easy step and barely trips over.
"Ah! C'mon…! Anything?!"
"Is there anyway to dissolve your territory during the game?" Dorothy asked calmly while maintaining concentration on her dance steps.
"I can't! Once I myself become one of the characters in the game, one of us has to lose! Unless you choke at this game or something…"
"I'm sorry. I have no intention of losing," replied Dorothy.
"No!" Mari looked across her screen.
The Gamemaster was breaking down quickly, both physically and mentally. Her eyes became swelled with tears.
"You knew all along about Saitou's plan," Dorothy continued on. "It's not as if you don't bear any responsibility."
"I… I didn't think it was going to turn out like this."
Eventually, her feet was giving out and already slipped up several times during the game play. The timer was down to the last eight seconds.
"I… I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Once the final seconds went by, the buzzer went off and a Game Over appears across the big screen. The crew looked on with saddened expressions yet Dorothy remained calm as she ever was. It was as if she didn't feel a shred of remorse or guilt for her actions. Suddenly, she heard a body drop to the ground but lowered her head. The fate of Mari has been sealed. Her dead form lied across the ground with the game announcer speaking out.
"Game Over! The Devilman Queen loses!"
With that said, there was a slience in the room. Not a single word from anyone. Terriermon didn't even crack a joke. Even Metalla X had awoken from his nap. Dorothy was still standing across from Mari's fallen corpse. A final tear shed from the Gamemaster's eyes. Davis and Henry kept their eye on Dorothy, who had just taken away a human's life before their very own eyes.
Just then, the entire territory was trembling with an earthquake and the ceiling was beginning to collapse. The group looked back and realized the entrance door was their only exit out.
"Where's that tremor coming from?!" Davis exclaimed.
"Can there even be earthquakes inside a territory?!" Veemon screamed.
"Everyone get back and out the entrance door!" Shintomon warned everyone. "Dorothy! Let's move it!"
As soon as he said that, Shintomon runs over to pick up Mari's corpse and flies out through the entrance door. Everyone else caught up with the higher digimon, except for the girl. Henry looked back and took Dorothy by the arm.
"C'mon, let's go!" Henry cried out.
Without even acknowledging him, Dorothy picked Henry up and flies out of the exploding territory. The explosion of the territory caused a huge tremor to occur throughout the caverns. It even reached as far as the center where Max was held captive.
Center of Demon's Cavern
Max was amongst the first to sense the massive trembling. He looked out through the caverns and wondered what it could mean for him.
"What was that sound just now?" Max wondered.
"Darn, Mari must have lost," Sigma sighed.
"What's that?!"
"Well, Max. Who would have thought she would have been beaten by those guys?"
"Bah! Never underestimate the power of my family and friends! They're coming for me and you guys are history!"
The boy turns around and started to spout out trash talk towards Saitou, who was sitting on the couch. His movie was still playing despite the outside activity occurring.
"Hey, Saitou! Did you hear that?! Your evil schemes are now no better off than a damn candle in the wind!""
"Sigma, would you please shut that brat up? Please? I'm trying to watch my film."
"Sure!"
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?!"
Sigma placed a hand over the crimson sphere and activated its power. The boy within the sphere screamed out in agony as more voltage was surging through his entire body. With Sigma maintaining his barrier over Max, Neo watched on with pleasure across his face and Saitou continued to watch his film.
Back inside the caverns
Once the territory was immediately dispelled, Davis and his group were fortunate to have escaped. The digimon dusted themselves off. Davis held his head painfully.
"Ow, now that was one crazy experience," Davis said. "Remind me to never enter inside a videogame again. That was more than enough."
"So what just happened now?" Veemon asked.
Everyone looked across to notice the doorway, along with Mari's territory, gone from sight. There was not a trace left.
"Well, there goes the game world," Rei said.
"Since Mari died, her territory dissolved," Shintomon reminded everyone.
"Ah, so that what it was," TK said.
"Take a look at this!" Kari pointed out to a small videogame console.
"Looks like one of the old Playstation models," Patamon stated. "At least it still has some value."
"So this is what it was to begin with?" Terriermon wondered. "This little thing was actually that big territory?! Whoa, talk about growing pains…"
"So that's what Mari's ability made that into that imposing illusion, huh?" Metalla X scoffed.
The fused warrior walked over to Mari's corpse and looked down upon him. Now, everyone directed their attention over to Dorothy. She was the one who took Mari's life without blood being shed. It was quick and decisive. This made even the Digi-Destined wonder if the actual D-Reaper demon had to take the lives of children away during her infamous killing sprees. Yet, this was Dorothy. She shouldn't have maintained the bloodlust the D-Reaper once possessed.
"Dorothy?" Davis said.
"Dorothy. Are you going to be okay?" a worried Henry asked.
He finally got his answer once Dorothy shifted her head across the exit tunnel outside of the caverns. Her eyes were still cold and merciless as ever. Not a single shred of guilt was written across her face.
"I have no regrets for what I've done. Let's just keep moving on to Saitou's hideout," Dorothy replied. "Max needs us."
Dorothy simply walked past her friends and started walking down the cavern. There was yet more silence amongst the group. Never have they seen anyone as ruthless as Dorothy just displayed. The only one that even remotely comes close is Yamato/Metalla X yet he has never taken the life of a child or even a female.
"I've never seen her like this," Henry said.
"Ok, I'm going to be heading back to the front where Sora and the others are waiting," Shintomon informed everyone. "Anyone one else wish to join me?"
"We'll manage through, Shintomon," Kari said. "If anyone of you wish to join us, then you can. Otherwise, it's your choice."
"You don't have to ask me twice," Keke said.
"Same here," TK replied.
"Heck, I'm the one who's leading you guys through the cave. So it's my duty to stay," Rei stated.
"What about you, Henry?" Terriermon asked. "Ready to kick some Saitou butt? Um, Henry…?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Count me in."
"You're worried about her, aren't you?" Davis asked Henry.
"Yeah…"
"She'll manage through. Besides, she's already going on ahead towards Saitou's cavern. Just give her time to recuperate."
"Thanks, Davis."
Shintomon picks up Mari's corpse and walks back down across towards the entrance of the cavern. He would rejoin with Sora and the others to monitor the outside.
"Well, guys. Ready to get going?" Davis said. "Saitou. Here we come."
As everyone gathered together, they immediately caught up with Dorothy down the trail leading to Saitou's lair. Davis, Veemon, TK, Patamon, Kari, Gatomon, Henry, Terriermon, Rei, Keke and Metalla X were walking in unpredictable territory. Little did they know that there was still one more major obstacle to overcome before the eventual showdown with the Dark Angel himself.
Outskirts of Odaiba
Finally emerging from hiding were more hordes of digi-insects and a few tiny rookie digimon. The citizens were not aware that creatures were hidden away for the time being until the larger champion and ultimate-types start arriving in the mass numbers. What they also didn't know was that these smaller creatures had all vanished within an instant as if they were afraid of something even bigger. It was now the calm before the storm.
There were reports of worldwide natural phenomena occurring, including more earthquakes and the most devastating hurricanes in many parts of the globe. This included regions where earthquakes would never occur. Volcanic eruptions were also increasing at an alarming rate. Many were now claiming the days of Armageddon was upon mankind. If this was a sign of things to come, the destruction will only come at full swing when the Synisters are released from their dark slumber.
Despite these warning, it didn't stop Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi and Mimi Tachikawa from leaving Odaiba via flight with their digimon partners. Rosemon held Mimi tightly around her waist while Dimitri and HerculesKabuterimon harboring Izzy were heading out towards the coordinates of their comrades at Demon's Cavern.
"Have you found anything yet, Izzy?" asked Dimitri.
"Not yet, but I'll tell you as soon as I can get some updates."
"You sure it was wise to leave Mr. Yamaki and the others behind?" Mimi said.
"They'll manage. The Hypnos team has an underground facility to work with. Plus, I'm sure Talley will forgive me for me leaving on this emergency."
"Hey, what's that up ahead?" Rosemon asked ahead to point out to the clouds darkening.
"Well, they did say there were volcanic eruptions from the islands," Izzy reported. "I guess it was some of the leftover volcanic ash. The Earth has suddenly gone out of whack since Datamon and Dr. Myuumon released all of those villains from Digital Limbo. Now it's only gotten worse."
"I can't even phantom to imagine the devastation these Synisters will cause," HerculesKabuterimon sighed.
"I can't imagine either. It's terrible. I can't believe Saitou would do such a thing," Mimi said.
"Great news, guys! I've picked up on the coordinates to Sora and the others. We're getting closer towards Demon's Cavern."
"That's great to hear, Izzy. You hear that guys? We better fly out a little faster and we'll get there in no time," Dimitri informed the two mega digimon.
"Roger," Rosemon said.
"Loud and clear. Hang on tight, Izzy," HerculesKabuterimon warned the professional computer whiz.
"Hang on for- WHA!"
As soon as Dimitri boosted his aura, he speed across the skies in a matter of moments with the two mega digimon following along.
Outside of Demon's Cavern
Waiting for the arrival of their comrades, Sora and the others were monitoring for any unusual activity. Thus far, there wasn't anything worthwhile to sight see. The skies were starting to clear up.
Kazu, Kenta, Guardromon and Marine Angemon were seen in one corner playing a game of cards. Impmon was resting against a tree. Watching over the card game was Sonja. Suzie and Lopmon were sitting on top of the hovercraft while Sora and Biyomon monitored the entrance cave. The pink bird was the first to notice the dark clouds dissipating.
"Huh? Hey, take a look at this, Sora."
"Wha…? The skies are clearing up. They were looming over Mushiyori for quite a while now," Sora replied.
"Look at that, Lopmon! The skies are so pretty!"
"I like looking up into the stars."
"So, does that mean we've already claimed victory as we speak?" Sora wondered. "If so, then those guys didn't need Tai to defeat Saitou!"
"Hey, guys! Make way for us!" a pair of voices calls out from the heavens.
The group stopped to see HerculesKabuterimon and Rosemon landing down with Dimitri, Izzy and Mimi.
"Hey, guys! Miss us?" Mimi teased the group.
"Well, it's about time you guys caught up," Kazu called out.
"Sorry, but Mimi needed to get her essentials," Izzy sighed.
"What's that supposed to mean? I only needed the important utensils."
"More like your whole wardrobe, mom," Dimitri teased the woman.
"I'm a twenty-nine year old woman. I have to look my best just in case the world ends."
"So, have those guys come out yet?" Izzy asked.
"No, we're still waiting for them," Sora replied. "They're taking a long time. I just hope everything is ok in there."
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about them, Sora. I'm sure they will pull out just fine," Biyomon assured her partner.
"C'mon, guys. We have about less than two hours left. Max's life is hanging into balance and Tai still hasn't come back. It's situations like these that make me want to wish the end would come sooner," Sora thought.
Inside Demon's Cavern
It's been a few minutes since the destruction of Mari's territory. Davis and his team were still walking through the dark caverns. It would be just a matter of moments before they would reach Saitou's lair and stop him from opening the tunnel.
"Ok, guys. We now take a right," Rei Saiba stated to the group.
As they continued onward, Henry and Davis kept an eye on the unpredictable Dorothy. It was just moments ago where she had won their freedom but, at the same time, had taken Mari's life away. Henry was growing wary of the girl.
"Matt. What do you think about the whole deal with Dorothy?" asked Henry. "You really think she remembers her former past as the D-Reaper?"
"Not until she merged with Avengemon's data before the fight with Bebimon. Before then, she had no memories. C'mon, you were there when we defeated the D-Reaper with the Life Bomb. Takato laid waste to her and Tai wished for D-Reaper to be reincarnated into a kind-hearted human. Unlike most reincarnations, D-Reaper was once again born as Dorothy Kaimodosu. She aged rather quickly and stopped rapidly at age ten. It's been five years since then. She's trained under Tai and has become an ally to our cause."
"So, when she merged with Avengemon's data, she clearly regained all of her memories as the D-Reaper? Is that why she heinously took Mari's life the way she did?" Davis asked.
"It's like this. Dorothy is a very complex character with a dark past. She would rather not talk about. She wishes to move on, but Mari had forced her to take extreme measures. Dorothy knew we had little time and had no little choice. Even Mari couldn't bring down her territory," Kari explained.
"Besides, c'mon. You don't think D-Reaper hasn't taken the life of a child before?" Metalla X scoffed. "Believe me. I actually fought the thing for myself. I sacrificed my life against it. I know full well how Dorothy operates."
Despite the conversation they were having, Dorothy had zoned them out and was anxious to reach the lair quickly.
"I'm sorry, guys. I had to do what I had to do," Dorothy thought.
"Well, I just hope she doesn't suddenly snap and decide to become that monster again," Gatomon said. "That's the last thing we need and that's a reborn D-Reaper."
Suddenly, Rei halted to a complete stop. This caught everyone off track.
"Ok, what is it Rei?" Davis said.
"I don't know but I feel something strange."
"Like what? Tell us," Dorothy asked.
"I… I can't tell…"
Unbeknownst to them, there was an evil force at work beyond their reach. Perhaps this was the last obstacle they had to overcome before reaching Saitou's lair.
Back at a local Amusement Park area within a small city
The golden sphere of light faded away as Atolmdramon uncovered his eyes. He looked across to find Omega X back at full power. Crimson Gallantmon moved away to allow him to get back into the fight. Despite being blind, Omega X focused his attention on Atolmdramon by feeling out his ki.
"Back at full power and ready to kick your ass, Atolmdramon," Omega X said with a smirk.
"Quit your bluffing, Taichi! How were you any different than you were before?"
"Why don't you come over and fight me? You'll see the difference."
"Don't you toy with me!" roared the dragon beast.
(Play Digimon Zero Two Armor Evolution theme Break Up!)
Atolmdramon shot himself across at his enemy and throws out a fist. However, Omega X was able to block it out with a defensive forearm. This managed to catch Atolmdramon completely off guard.
"What?!"
"Ha! What's the matter?"
"Don't you mock me!"
With that said, Atolmdramon throws out a kick but only missed Omega X. He throws out numerous fists and each were maneuvered by the fused warrior. Even his most rapid fists were dodged with relative ease. A blinded Omega X was making a total fool of Atolmdramon at the very moment. The warrior couldn't help but laugh.
"You can't even hit me. How sad. Considering the fact that I'm blind. I can still your ki, and dodge you by a hairsbreadth."
"Not possible! You're blind!"
Atolmdramon proceeded to attack Omega X head on with more fists. The warrior swiftly dodged the blows without breaking a sweat. The beast attempted a final uppercut but only managed to punch through the air. The warrior had vanished from sight. However, his voice was speaking behind the beast's back.
"I told you. It's no use, Atolmdramon."
With a loud battle cry, Omega X grabbed Atolmdramon by his horns and threw him across through a building office yards away from the amusement park. The monster is sent skidding through the building and buried underneath a pile of debris. Omega X levitates over to where his fallen adversary was buried. The beast hoisted a pile of debris off of him and threw it aside.
"DAMN IT!"
Suddenly, he took notice of a bright star-like object in the sky. This was Omega X producing a ki ball in his right hand. He directly points it at Atolmdramon as his prime target.
"Atolmdramon. I'm going to make sure that you pay dearly."
He launches the ki ball down towards the surface and blasts it right where Atolmdramon stood. The beast was quick to make a getaway but the blast impact was spreading wider across the abandoned city. Atolmdramon flew as fast as he could to avoid direct contact with Omega X's attack.
"SHIT!"
"Ha! Just look at him run now! Not so tough are ya?!" Kaiser Greymon called out.
"Now he knows how it feels to be chased by an attack," Magna Garurumon muttered.
"Yes! If he takes this guy out, we'll be done with the last monster!" Joe exclaimed.
"Tai! Just in case he escapes, I'll cut him off and you can finish him off from there!" Gallantmon declared.
"Sure! Thanks!"
Omega X looks back across the destruction left by his attack and was glad no one was around to become a casualty from the attack. A smile formed across his face once he saw Atolmdramon flying out as fast as he could.
"No matter where you hide, your dark ki will give you away."
As Omega X flew out to search for Atolmdramon, he heard the sound of a loud clock bell. The echoing sounds had caused him to stop at his tracks immediately. He looked about his surroundings and couldn't feel out Atolmdramon anymore. In fact, the beast was levitating beside the clock tower.
"It was lucky for me that your sight has not returned, Taichi."
Atolmdramon ripped the clock face from the tower and examines it thoroughly.
"You maybe able to tell my actions, but you cannot sense this thing move. Hmm? Well, can you? The thing has no ki whatsoever."
With Omega X frozen in place, Atolmdramon took advantage of his blinded foe and threw the clock face. It traveled across like a buzz saw and looked to be slicing through Omega X in half. It barely went past him but Omega X barely even felt a gust of air rush past him.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Omega X asked with a laugh.
Both exchanged laughs as the clock face returned back around like a boomerang. Omega X had his back turned and was vulnerable to be cut down to size.
"Now! You'll be cut down to pieces! Die, Taichi!"
However, much to Atolmdramon's dismay, Omega X spun around and caught the disk just in time. He stopped it from cutting him and tosses it away.
"That was pitiful, Atolmdramon. A worthless attempt on your part. I'm disappointed. I expected better from you."
"Taichi! This isn't over!"
"How funny that my ears are still as sharp as ever."
"What kind of freak are you?!"
"Atolmdramon! I'm sending your ass to the after life! Be sure to go apologize to Novadramon for taking away his life!"
Omega X's body radiated with a mix of golden-crimson light while cupping his hands to the side. Atolmdramon gasped and started to fly off into the distance. But, that didn't stop the warrior from carrying out his promise to send him to the afterlife.
"Waste him!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "He doesn't look like he's going anywhere!"
"TERRA-"
"There's no way he's going to dodge this! It's over for him," said Sakuyamon.
"Might as well write a eulogy, Atolmdramon," BW said. "Because the afterlife is where you'll be spending for eternity!"
"BEAM!"
Omega X sends out a crimson red blast of energy directly for the fleeing dragon. He quickly gets caught in the blast without a chance to escape. Atolmdramon screamed out as he was destroyed within the blast. A massive explosion occurs over where he once levitated. In place of where he once stood was a large cloud of smoke. The city was reduced to a pile of cinders and debris. The group cheered heavily at the warrior's spectacular performance.
(End theme)
"He did it! He did it! The big ol' mean dragon is gone!" Calumon cheered happily.
"I'm so glad," Jeri said.
"Now, that's what I'm talking about!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Another monster laid to rest and we should have all the digicores in our possession," Cyberleomon said.
"That's right. The other two were scattered here," Omega X said while levitating down to where his friends awaited him.
"Really? But where?" BW asked.
"Look! I found one!" Zephrymon said while holding onto a digicore piece.
"I found the other," replied Cody.
"Good. Now let's find the other one since Atolmdramon was just destroyed just now," said Joe. "We're going to have to hurry though. They said the tunnel wouldn't be complete until about an hour and a half."
"Ok, then. Everyone spread out and find that lat digicore," Omega X instructed. "We have very little time left."
Suddenly, the two digicore pieces leaped out from both Cody's and Zephrymon's grasps. They were heading across towards the devastated clock tower.
"Hey! Those digicore just bounced out of their hands!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"What the heck is going on here?!" asked Zephrymon.
Then, their worst nightmare reemerged from out of the rubble. Atolmdramon busted through the debris and snared the two digicore pieces in his grasp. Omega X and the others gasped in utter disbelief at the monster's sudden reappearance. His best attack didn't even destroy the dragon beast.
"ATOLMDRAMON?!" they exclaimed in unison.
"You mean you withstood even my best attack?!" Omega X cried out.
"Yes. That was impressive, Taichi. I'm angry with myself for underestimating you. But the fun stops now."
With that said, Atolmdramon took once digicore piece and swallowed it whole. The group gasped in shock at what the monster just did.
"You're kidding me! He just ate that digicore!" Joe gasped.
Then, he swallowed the other one. The next two digicores came flying from out of Jeri's backpack. The girl attempted to grab them but they were too far for her reach. Atolmdramon swallowed those orbs with tremendous ease.
"Now for the other two…"
Outside Demon's Cavern
Sora and her group were still awaiting the arrival of Davis' team from leaving the cave. It had been almost an hour since the Gamemaster's defeat. Mimi and Palmon took a rest inside the hovercraft while Izzy was attempting to contact Gennai through his laptop.
Suddenly, the digicores that Davis and Kari's teams gathered were starting to levitate. Sora took notice of this and called out to everyone.
"Look! The digicores are moving!" Sora calls out.
"What?! What's causing them to do this?" wondered Biyomon.
"What's going on?!" asked Sonja.
"I don't know but I don't like the looks of this!" Izzy said.
Impmon was immediately awoken from his sleep and he looked across at the floating digicores.
"Hey! You don't see that everyday…"
"Who turned on the lights?" Kazu grumbled. "Whoa, the digicores?! Kenta! Look at this, dude!"
"How… and what is causing this?"
Then, the digicores had vanished from within an instant. Sora didn't even have time to grab them since they had disappeared so quickly.
"The digicores!"
"They're gone, but how?!" wondered Izzy. "That just isn't scientifically possible for them to vanish."
"More like mystically possible, Izzy," Tentomon corrected him.
"That was a rhetorical question, but nonetheless. We have to go and find out where they disappeared off to!"
"But, how will we find them?" Mimi wondered. "They just disappeared without a trace."
"Our digivices should help point out their location," Izzy said. "Sora. Mimi and I will go find those digicores."
"I'm coming along, too."
"But you have to stay."
"I don't. Sonja will cover for me. Is that okay?"
"Just leave the guarding position to me. You three go on and get those cores back."
"Ok, then. It's settled. We don't have time to waste. So, let's make it count!" Izzy said. "Tentomon. You give us the lift."
"Like you need to ask."
Back at the battle site away from the Amusement Park
Back at the site, Atomldramon raised his hands to capture the last two digicores that appeared in his grasp. He swallowed them both with relative ease and felt his body beginning to grow with power. His body shot off a golden aura and slowly started to undergo a transformation into the next digivolution level.
(Play MegaMan X theme Battle Against Vile)
"Ha! Behold, Digifools! This is my true form, which stands above all the seven beasts!"
Atolmdramon's chest started to radiate with seven orbs of light. The six pieces were scattered across his chest. The whole digicore was embedded at the center. His body became engulfed by a digicode and quickly began his evolution.
"ATOLMDRAMON SHINKA!"
Atolmdramon's body underwent a dramatic transformation within a column of negative energy. His screams were replaced by a loud, booming dragon roar that caused the area to tremble under it's sheer might. In place of Atolmdramon was a four-winged dragon with a massive body. One side of his body was harboring heavy weaponry. His body was dark gray yet he retained the same spikes embedded on his back, elbows and horn across his head. His eyes were still as crimson. Despite a larger body, he maintained a bipedal form. The newly digivolved monster roared out before calling out his official name.
"DOOMSDRAMON!"
(Doomsdramon. Level: Mega. Type: Demon Dragon Digimon. Special Attacks: Atomic Death Blast & Apocalypse Missile)
"Oh crap! Now that's a monster!" Metal Kabuterimon cried out.
"He just used the power of the digicores to digivolve further!" exclaimed Gallantmon.
"He's powered up beyond comparison!" Kaiser Leomon gasped.
"Now, we're in for it!" BW growled.
"I should have written out my will," Joe stuttered in fear.
"I see my power has already sent chills down your spines," laughed Doomsdramon. "For I am, Doomsdramon. That name will be the last thing you hear before I send you to your graves. My body has been upgraded with the pure strong alloy of Chrome Digizoid. Taichi, even at level four, you cannot hope to penetrate this stronger digizoid form."
"We'll see! I haven't even tried just yet, Doomsdramon, but I will give it a shot!"
"There's no need to be delusional, Taichi. Behold my ultimate power! All of the powers from the previous seven beasts that you fought is now mine!"
"You mean we have to deal with Haze Frogmon again?!" Kaiser Greymon growled.
"Not to mention Rage Archaeopteryxmon?!" asked Sakuyamon.
"No, but all of their powers lie within me. The same goes for Lamiamon, Necromon/Lichidramon, Novadramon and Eisdramon. They are all apart of me!"
"What?! All of it up to now?!" Omega X said.
(End theme)
Doomsdramon smiled maliciously and set to carry out his promises to send all of his enemies, including Omega X, to their graves. Would even a fully restored Omega X stand up to the newly digivolved Doomsdramon?
Center of Demon's Cavern
Quickly awakening from his meditation, Neo was able to sense out the ki locations of Davis' group. Saitou took notice of this.
"What's the matter, Neo?"
"Mr. Saitou. They're getting closer."
"I see. There's no need to worry. I've provided them with one more obstacle before they decide to reach this lair. I'm sure they will get a big kick of what I have in store for them."
"Hey! Just what did you provide for them?!" Max screamed out.
"Two guests who wish to have a long talk with them. I'm sure you've heard about them from your family's stories. With a little hand from Millenniumon, he was able to free these two wicked souls. Now they are set to finish off Taichi's group and they will have no chance of reaching this lair."
"I'm sure they'll pull through! You're greatly underestimating them!"
"On the contrary, I really don't care who manages to pull through. There's only about an hour and a half left to go. Can your so called family and friends make it here in time? Will your father even escape the wrath of the dragon beast?"
"You talk way too damn much, pal!"
"Whatever the outcomes maybe, the tunnel will still be at its near completion. I give them another hour or so. Then, it will be all over."
Mari the Gamemaster has died, all thanks to a ruthless strategy deployed by Dorothy. With Mari's territory dispelled, our heroes continue their way through the caverns. Saitou is still waiting for their arrival. But little do they realize that two uninvited guests have been summoned from Digital Limbo to be given one last chance to extract their vengeance on the Digi-Destined. Just when the situation was going to get better. It only has gotten worse. Atolmdramon has absorbed the digicores and has digivolved into Doomsdramon. With all seven of the monsters' powers coursing through him, Doomsdramon looks to be unbeatable. Can Omega X and his allies defeat him and make it Demon's Cavern to save Max in time?

(Preview)
Tai/Omega X: Hey, everyone! It's me, Tai! Doomsdramon shows his worth as he trashes everyone and me across him. With all the powers of the seven monsters in addition to his own, not even I can stop him.
Gallantmon: Tai! We're going to need to go for the Ryu-Ken! Absorb me into your body and we'll pull this one off!
Mimi: Can even Omega X infused with Gallantmon's data be enough to perform a Ryu-Ken on this monster?
Omega X/Gallantmon: We'll show you what we can do!
Sora: One should hope so!
Metalla X: Looks like they need my help. I'm flying back to aid Tai and the others. Looks like I'll have to convince Tai to perform our secret weapon on this bastard.
Davis: Matt leaves us behind to deal with the two most notorious villains in the Digital Universe.
Kari: TK, myself Rei and Dorothy are sent into one dimension where we battle Virus.
Virus: Well, it's been such a long time, Hikari.
Henry: Dorothy, Davis, Keke and myself get sent into another world. There we are greeted by the Digi-Destined's most hated enemy: Burizalor.
Burizalor: I was expecting Taichi but one stupid goggle head should do.
Davis: I'll show you who's stupid, you freak!
Saitou: They have only about an hour and fifteen minutes to save you, Max.
Izzy: With three enemies, can we save Max in time before the tunnel opens?
Max: The next chapter is entitled…
Last Obstacle of Demon's Cavern: Burizalor and Virus! Super Four Metalla X Aids Omega X in Battle!
Omega X; All right, Matt! You're back! I doubt even Doomsdramon can take two super level four warriors.
Metalla X: Actually, I have an even better idea…
Doomsdramon: You two don't even stand a chance!
Whew, I managed to finish this up finally. I guess we can call this a New Years Eve gift. Consider this as a sign of things to come for this story in 2005. I hope to have it finished within the next two months or so. I hope…
Again, I'd like to thank Ninetalesuk for letting me use Atolmdramon and Doomsdramon. Thanks again! I hope every one of you has a Happy New Year! Until then, peace!

Happy 2005, everyone! I hope you guys had a safe and fun holiday! Now, we enter a New Year and hopefully good things will come out of it. Ever since the Tsunami disaster, I've been hoping this year will recover. Anyway, this is the year where I hope to conclude the D-Fusion series. It's been nearly three and a half years in the making. After I complete this finale, I'm on to write the series of D-Fusion movies that I've been meaning to hold back.
Now with that out of the way, let's start the New Year off with heavy intense action! Doomsdramon has evolved and has set his sights on Omega X's team. Also, we'll be seeing Burizalor and Virus making their final appearances in the series. Will they go out with style or humiliation? You'll just have you find out. Those two just might surprise ya. ((wink)) Enjoy the fic!
After being saved from a desperate pinch by Gallantmon, the legendary warriors and the others, Tai and Agumon were rescued in time. The Crimson Knight and his allies offered to transfer enough energy to replenish their power in order for them to fuse into Omega X ocne again at full power. The legendary warriors took it upon themselves to momentarily distract Atolmdramon with little success. With his level four power restored, it seemed like a battle to the death between him and Atolmdramon. The conclusion came when Omega X fired a Times Ten Terra Beam to destroy the demonic dragon. It seemed as though the goddess of victory was bestowed upon our heroes. Until… Atolmdramon rose out from the rubble to absorb the seven digicores into his body. He underwent a digivolution and becomes the powerful Doomsdramon. Doomsdramon now possesses the powers of the seven monsters, including his own. His power was in a class of its own. Guys, just what will you do to overcome this demonic entity?!
Meanwhile back inside Demon's Cavern, the territory of Mari has finally been shutdown. To bring down Mari's territory, it would mean her death. She was merely used as a tactic by Saitou. However, if the hole to the Dark Realm were completed, the Human World and the Digital Worlds would be destroyed. Dorothy used the cruelest method available to him, killing Mari. Following that, Davis and his groups found themselves across two unknown doorways. But just who or what lurks behind these doors? How will they inch on step closer into Saitou's lair? Only one hour remains until the hole is complete. The double conflict continues!

Last Obstacle of Demon's Cavern: Burizalor and Virus! Super Four Metalla X Aids Omega X in Battle!
Somewhere away from the Battle from Doomsdramon
With the battle still ensuing at the devastated city, a familiar couple was seen walking through the forest very cautiously. One of them was a lady with a red web-like outfit, purple shoes and a pair of sunglasses. Her hair was silver and skin very pale. The other was a man who seemed to be wearing a huge, blue trench coat. His face was hidden underneath a big hat with one eye exposed along with a toothy grin. He followed the lady along while fixing his big blue hat.
"Arukenimon! Are you sure you know where we're going?"
"Yes, you dolt! You even said yourself to bring you out to where those Digi-Destined are battling!"
"These past few days have been too hectic for me. I have a reputation as a Digimon World champion to uphold. I can't let them down!"
"Then, you can make them proud by helping those Digi-Destined. Come one now! Don't make me have to cut through these brushes myself you majesty," Arukenimon said with sarcasm.
"Hey! Could you at least get me out of this hat! I need to see this for myself!" a voice blurted out from within the hat.
"Quiet down, Black Gatomon! You'll catch their attention. We want to make this a big surprise for them," Mummymon whispered inside his hat.
"Surprise, eh? Well, let's make it count, Mummymon, my dear friend!"
"I just wonder how Dorothy is doing at this point."
"Dee? Oh, I'm sure she'll be fine," the dark feline replied. "I'm anxious to see this monster for myself. If what they say about him is true, then his power makes even D-Reaper's power look like a joke."
"Really? But, Taichi and Takato should be there, right?"
"Of course they would, you bumbling fool!" Arukenimon snapped.
Just then, they stopped ahead to come across the exact city that was just momentarily destroyed by Omega X's Terra Beam. The duo stopped across with mouths gaping open in shock.
"Yep! They were here just now," Mummymon said. "Black Gatomon! You've got to take a look at this."
"I'm already peeking through your hat. Man, this must have been one heck of a battle!"
"Don't look now but I see them just now," the female spider hybrid pointed out across the scene.
Just ahead of them was the entity of evil himself, Doomsdramon. The beast looked down upon Omega X and his crew as if they were pieces of slab meat. Mummymon freaked out and hid behind a pile of rubble.
"No! I'm too old for this! Can we go home now, Arukenimon?!"
"Ooooh, I thought you were going to represent the digimon as their grand champion?" Arukenimon looked down on the cowering digimon with a sly grin.
"I am the champion… but even I know when I shouldn't stick my nose in somebody else's business. I'll leave this to Taichi and the others…"
As Mummymon trembled behind the rubble like a wimpering child, Black Gatomon emerged out of the hot to watch the battle with great interest. Simply sighing in disbelief, Arukenimon lowers her head and rubs her forehead.
"Ugh, you are just unbelievable. World champion, my butt…"
Back at the battle scene, Doomsdramon checked across at his adversaries by reading their ki levels. The only ones who even remotely posed a threat to him were Omega X, Crimson Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon. Everyone else was nothing more than insignificant insects to the beast. The seven digicore pieces shone across Doomsdramon's chest.
"So, tell, Gallantmon," Sakuyamon wondered. "Just who has the edge in power now?"
"To tell you the truth, I can't tell. Both are quite equally powerful. Omega X just had his power replenished and Doomsdramon just digivolved. I think it can go either way. In any case, I'll be here to back Tai up."
"Me, too!" Kaiser Greymon shouted.
"And the same goes for myself!" said Magna Garurumon.
Before Omega X prepared to make his first move, Doomsdramon raised his right hand. He remained still for a moment until a low beaming noise was heard coming from the beast. A sudden invisible force shoots out from Doomsdramon and across the entire widespread range. As a result, a powerful force shot across at the same time and caused heavy winds to blow across. Another invisible force pushed across at the group. The digimon were quick to become alarmed yet most of them were too late to even consider moving away.
Amongst the group, Omega X, Crimson Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon remained standing. Everyone else was either blown away or knocked out unconsciousness. Pikkan and Cyberleomon stood by to protect Jeri from harm. The other four legendary warriors were unable to hold themselves back any longer and were sent flying across. Their partners saved Joe and Cody. Sakuyamon was blown back and slammed against a concrete wall. Digmon and Zudomon were the first to de-digivolve back to their rookie forms. Next, the four warriors turned back to their human forms. Sakuyamon was completely unconscious but managed to maintain her mega form for the moment. Also laying next to her was BW, who was managing to slowly move about.
"Ah, no! He got everyone else!" Crimson Gallantmon cried out. "Sakuyamon! BW!"
"What about… Oh no! Zoe! JP!" Kaiser Greymon called out to his comrades.
"Kouichi! Tommy!" exclaimed Magna Garurumon.
"Even though I can't see, I can feel their powers going down!" Omega X growled. "Damn it, Doomsdramon! That was not right! This is between you and me!"
"That's right. I simply cleared away the nuisances. This is between you and me as it should be, Taichi. Too bad these three are still kicking," Doomsdramon replied.
"Don't forget about us, jack ass!" Pikkan called out.
"We're not done yet," Cyberleomon said.
"Me… out of the damn frying pan? You've got to be kidding me," BW managed to stifle a laugh. "I'm taking my ass back in the game!"
"You two stay with Jeri!" Omega X ordered. "This bastard is mine!"
"Tai. Remember, we've got your back. Call us when you need help," Kaiser Greymon said with a nod.
"Don't forget. We've always got our secret weapon," Crimson Gallantmon replied.
"Thanks, Takuya. Takato. Now sit back and conserve your energy. I'm the one with the most power and I'm going to use it all on this guy! You hear that, Doomsdramon?"
"Loud and clear. Now, let us continue where we left off, Taichi."
"Just what I was hoping for."
Meanwhile back across the city, the comedic trio was found buried underneath a pile of birth. Black Gatomon was the first to rise out from the 'grave', so to speak. He threw up his hands into the air and happily cheered.
"YAY! Let's do that again!"
"Uh… I think not," Mummymon's voice groaned. "I told you… I was getting too old for this."
"Oh, can it! Bandage boy!" hissed Arukenimon.
Doomsdramon levitated away from his previous spot and lands at the center of the cleared debris. He wiped his foot across the dirt. Levitating from across him was a still blinded Omega X. The warrior's eyes have still not recovered from being swiped by Eisdramon's ice trick. Despite the handicap, he can still sense out the dragon's tremendously dark aura, not to mention his movements.
"You see this cleared ground, Taichi? This will make a perfect gravesite. The devastated buildings in the background. Doesn't it just remind you of post-apocalyptic Japan years ago? Kind of ironic that I just brought back painful memories for the island country. The same will occur across every major city across the globe. Human extinction, doesn't that just sound pleasant?"
"No! That's just crazy talk coming from an arrogant bastard!"
"But you do have to agree. This is quite the sight for a grave."
"Yes. Know you what? All we need is a dead body for a proper burial. I sense the one individual who will be buried. That will be you, Doomsdramon. I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Novadramon."
"You misunderstand, Taichi. This gravesite will be solely for you. You see, I will be burying your corpse and bring glory to the seven beasts of death! Your fated showdown with Dark Angel will be postponed for the rest of eternity because you will die by my hands!"
With that said, Omega X had heard enough from the demonic dragon and immediately powers up a bright golden aura. The warriors phase out quickly enough for the others to not have a chance to blink an eye. He reappears across the battlefield and charges a full scale assault on the dragon. Omega X retaliates with vicious kicks and punches all across Doomsdramon's magnificent form. Each blow made their mark on Doomsdramon, yet the villain didn't at all seem fazed by Omega X's blows. Omega X stopped for a moment until he realized that Doomsdramon's body was starting to emit a sun-like temperature. A radiant red-orange aura engulfs Doomsdramon. Omega X screamed out while blowing across his burnt fists.
"SHIT! THAT'S HOT! OW!"
"I can't believe you felt for that one, Taichi."
"You just used Novadramon's own ability!"
"That's right. I used Novadramon's body heat technique. But, that's not all I can do. Just watch. The fun is just about to start."
With that said, Doomsdramon's eyes emitted blue flashes and he shoots out an ice beam across Omega X. The beams engulfed Omega X and quickly encased him inside the same ice sculpture that Eisdramon used against him.
"No! Not this again! This is Eisdramon's freezing ray!"
"I don't think you've had the pleasure of witnessing this one for yourself. So, why don't I demonstrate for you?"
Doomsdramon leaps up into the air and sets his hand across. A whip materializes in his hand and is lashed across at the frozen warrior.
"This is Lamiamon's technique! THUNDER WHIP!"
The deadly electric whip lashes across and sends the ice covered warrior hurtling across the landscape. Doomsdramon was not finished with his offense just yet. He prepared for another one of Lamiamon's attacks.
"DARKNESS LIGHTING CLAWS!"
The dragon brings out his claws and sends out an 'X' shaped slash at Omega X. This attack managed to shatter the ice and immediately free Omega X. However, the warrior was in a tight pinch and sent hurtling across. Next, Doomsdramon tapped into another one of the seven beasts' attacks. This time he went for Rage Archaopteryxmon's technique.
"SUPER THUNDER STRIKE!"
As soon as he said that, a massive thunderbolt was sent down from the heavens and struck Omega X. This managed to send him plummeting down into the surface below. The bolt also managed to destroy a large portion of some remaining buildings and turned them into complete rubble. A mushroom smoke cloud emerges once the destruction cleared away. Doomsdramon levitates over and grins at his handy work.
"No! Tai!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"This can't be happening," Kaiser Greymon said.
"It's not over! I'm sure he'll pull through," Magna Garurumon stated.
Once the smoke cleared away, Omega X was found buried underneath a pile of rubble. Doomsdramon was quite pleased and snickered at the fallen warrior.
"Did you finally kick the bucket just yet, Taichi?"
"Hell no!"
"What!?"
Omega X sits up from the wreckage with a confident smile on his face. He shook off the dust from his body. He not only took those blasts without taking that much damage but he survived.
"Nice try, Doomsdramon. However, that's not going to work on me. You see, I've already become accustomed to some of those stolen techniques you're using. You'll just have to come up with a better solution."
"You tell him," BW muttered.
This only managed to infuriate Doomsdramon further. The beast quickly phased out and flew across the landscape at his prey. He swoops and spears Omega X right through a wall of debris. Omega X is once again sent hurtling across and is immediately met with an elbow shot to his back delivered by Doomsdramon. The warrior of courage is sent plummeting through a wrecked building.
Meanwhile, the Chosen Children rose up from the debris. They had just realized that they were back in their human forms.
"Aw, man! This sucks!" JP whined.
"We're back to normal?" Tommy asked.
"It's because of Doomsdramon. He only swept us away with a tiny percentage of his power," Kouichi replied. "That resulted in us reverting back to our normal forms."
"Great! Just great! At least Takuya and Kouji are still in their Zeta-forms," Zoe said. "Oh my… What a mess."
BW was next to rise up and hunches over to the fallen Sakuyamon. He nudges on her shoulder.
"Hey, Sakuyamon. You going to be okay? Nah, you're not."
"Well, that was some ride," Cody said while dusting himself off. "You're back to normal, Armadillomon."
"Which bites. I wanted more of that varmint," Armadillomon spat.
"Well, it could be worse. We would have been turned to mush by that creep," Gomamon said.
"I don't even want to find out," sighed Joe. "Look at this mess. No way I'm cleaning this up."
"We're directly at ground zero," BW reminded everyone. "C'mon, Tai. Get up and waste this bastard."
"That's it! I'm going in there! If Tai get pissed, then he can sue me!" Kaiser Greymon cried out as he charged towards Doomsdramon.
"Hey! Stop it, Takuya!" Magna Garurumon exclaimed.
"Don't do it!" cried Gallantmon.
"Hey, ugly! Over here!"
Doomsdramon stopped his slow walk and turned to face Kaiser Greymon. The Zeta-warrior dashes across and slides past Doomsdramon. He directly puts his blade directly at Doomsdramon and charges up for an attack. He sends out an arrow-like fire blast at Doomsdramon.
"Dragonfire Crossbow!"
"Damn it! Well, here goes nothing! FINAL JUSTICE!" Crimson Gallantmon cried out while shooting out a white blast at Doomsdramon.
Both attacks hit their mark on Doomsdramon and only managed to push him back. However, they did inflict any damage onto the dragon beast.
"Damn it! It's not working, Gallantmon!"
"We're going to have to give it another try, Takuya!" the crimson knight screamed. "I'm not about to give out just yet."
"Feh. Annoying insects. All of you be gone," Doomsdramon muttered.
Just as Doomsdramon was preparing to launch an attack on the duo, Omega X emerged from the rubble and fell down onto the ground. The dragon takes notice of this.
"As soon as I get rid of these pests, we shall continue our fight, Taichi."
Once Doomsdramon slowly made his way towards the duo, the warrior crawled across the ground and slid his hand across glass shards. He winced from the cut and looked down at the glass shards.
"Damn, Tai. You look like a piece of crap right now," Omega X said to himself. "Huh…? Myself…?! What? I…"
His vision was finally coming back to him as he saw his own reflection through the shards and found the ground surface. A smile forms across his face.
"I can see again! About time!"
"Get ready, Takuya! We're going to attack on three! Ready?!" asked Gallantmon.
"You bet! Kouji! You'll attack last!"
"Right!"
"Well, boys. I'm ready for whatever you have to deliver," Doomsdramon said. "I hope you don't disappoint me."
"Oh wow, this is really terrifying!" Omega X calls out.
This statement from Omega X caught everyone's attention, including Doomsdramon. He turned around to glare over at Omega X.
"Huh? Just what is he babbling about?" JP wondered.
"He's lost it," Zoe said.
"Those blows must have really damaged his brain," Tommy replied.
"I'll bet," sighed Kouichi.
"Just what are you thinking in that head of yours, Tai?" BW thought.
"Doomsdramon! I'm going to make sure I defeat you," the warrior stated. "So, ready for me to hand your ass on a silver platter?"
Omega X crouches down and cups his hands in a familiar posture, which the beast had already become accustomed to already. Everyone considered this nothing more than a stupid bluff; even Doomsdramon was quick to call the warrior's bluff. Little did they realize that Omega X had an ace up his sleeve.
"Tai! Just let us handle this!" Gallantmon calls out.
"Ha! Just what are you, high?!" Doomsdramon laughed. "You know you can't see. I doubt you could even aim properly, Taichi."
"Don't waste your energy, Tai! Let us take it from here," Kaiser Greymon said.
Doomsdramon stepped out at the center from his enemy and stood with his arms held out. He pointed to his chest as if he marked a bulls eye.
"Over here, Taichi. I'm right here. Give me your worst. Take careful aim now."
With that said, Omega X immediately saw through and opened his eyes. A grin forms across his face as he prepared to launch an attack. This caught everyone, including Doomsdramon, off guard.
"Great! That's exactly where I want you!"
"What the hell?!"
Omega X quickly sends out a tremendous energy blast through his hands and nails it across Doomsdramon. The dragon beast screamed out with the blast taking a toll on his body.
"WHAT?! IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Al right, Tai! What a faker!" Gallantmon cheered.
"Heh, never thought you'd do something like that at the last minute," snickered Kaiser Greymon.
"Brilliant tactic, Tai!" BW praised the warrior.
"I must say. Even he threw me off guard. I thought the fool was merely calling an idiotic bluff," said Pikkan.
"Now, he'll take back the advantage over Doomsdramon," replied Cyberleomon.
"But, how?! When did you regain your vision, Taichi?! Explain yourself!"
"NOW YOU'RE MINE! TAKATO! NOW! IT'S TIME!"
(Play Digimon Tamers Theme One Vision)
"What?! Oh, you mean our tag team finishing blow?! You got it! Here I go!"
As soon as he said that, Crimson Gallantmon powered up in response to Omega X. His body quickly exploded into a red cloud of light. The red light is sent directly towards Omega X. The warrior charges across and absorbs Crimson Gallantmon's essence through his body. His entire body became covered by a crimson aura. Omega X lets out a monstrous scream before his directed his fist towards Doomsdramon. Doomsdramon could only look on with utter disbelief.
"RYU-KEN!" the dual voice of Omega X/Gallantmon screamed out.
Omega X shoots across through the energy beam. An image of a crimson dragon fades within the background along with the attack. He slammed his fist across at Doomsdramon and sent him skidding through the desert landscape. The fist starts to pierce right through the beast's torso slowly but surely. Even Doomsdramon couldn't hope to withstand this devastating blow.
"You can do it, guys! You've got him!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Just one more push and he's through!" screamed BW.
"Hell yeah! Now that bastard is through!" Pikkan said.
"Go team! Go!" Calumon cheered.
Omega X screamed out and puts out more force through his attack. The crimson dragon shoots across and wraps itself around Doomsdramon like a boa constrictor. Doomsdramon screamed out with the crimson dragon holding a vice grip on the beast. Omega X takes advantage of this and plunges through Doomsdramon as if he were Play Doh. The crimson dragon immediately fades away from sight. Omega X and Crimson Gallantmon separated themselves apart to gaze down on their handiwork. Doomsdramon was completely incapacitated with a large gaping hole through his torso.
"Did we get him?" Gallantmon wondered.
"Only one way to find out."
Doomsdramon lets out his final screams before exploding into a massive cloud of dust. There was nothing left of the dragon but a scattering aura of data.
"They did it!" Jeri and Calumon cheered.
"Awesome finish you guys!" Kaiser Greymon praised the duo.
"Now that was something worth remembering!" JP cried out.
"Great! All seven monsters have been put out of commission. All we need to do is go to Demon's Cavern to save Max," BW said.
"Max. We're not too far away from saving you, son," Omega X lets out a deep relief sigh.
Finally emerging out of the rubble, Mummymon and his crew had just witnessed the defeat of Doomsdramon. The bandaged people's champion leaped out and held a pair of traditional Japanese air fans.
"Tai and Takato! You're our team! Nobody can even touch you two!" Mummymon screamed out.
As soon as he broke out into a break dance, Arukenimon covered her face in embarrassment.
"Ugh, if anyone asks me if I have any association with him, just tell them no, Blacky."
"Um, sure," Black Gatomon replied. "But, those guys really did it!"
"Good. Now we can move on."
"I had faith that you two would win!" Mummymon cried out as he ran towards the heroes.
"Hey, it's Mummymon!" Jeri said.
"Ugh, what's this idiot doing here?" Pikkan muttered.
"Well, it seems Tai and Takato have a big fan," Zoe giggled.
Both Omega X and Crimson Gallantmon levitated down once the battle had concluded. It seemed way too easy for them to overcome Doomsdramon.
"We were kind of disappointed," Gallantmon said. "We were expecting him to overcome that one."
"You think so?" asked Magna Garurumon.
"I was expecting him to at least put up a fight," Cyberleomon said. "But he was nothing more than another arrogant fool."
"Well, at least we've defeated all seven beasts," Omega X said. "Now we can move on to rescue Max. I can't wait to get my hands on that Saitou bastard."
(End theme)
Suddenly, a pair of pink slime globs was starting to come together from out of the rubble. The group turned to see the globs forming into one familiar form.
"Look! It's that damn slime from before!" Sakuyamon called out as she finally came to her senses. "I knew he wouldn't go down that easily…"
"She's right! Rage Archaeopteryxmon was able to regenerate using that electric slime," Cyberleomon said.
"I knew it was too good to be true! Damn it!" cursed Gallantmon.
"YIKES! Ok, I came at the wrong time," Mummymon panicked while wailing his arms.
The pink globs all came together and transformed back to Doomsdramon's horrifying form. He was back without a single scratch on his body and the gaping hole was gone as well. The beast dusted off his revived body and nodded his head.
"Yes, that was Rage Archaeopteryxmon's forte, wasn't it?" Doomsdramon snickered.
"No! It can't be!" Omega X gasped. "We had him, Takato!"
"We should have told you earlier. This is my fault," Gallantmon sighed.
"That was a very brilliant strategy, boys," Doomsdramon said to the warrior duo. "But those crappy tricks won't work on me. I'm an opponent on a different scale."
"Oh man! This isn't good!" JP gulped. "Any bright ideas, guys?!"
"None," Kouji said.
"None of our attacks are going to work this guy," Magna Garurumon said.
"Um, Joe. So, ready for the afterlife?" Gomamon said while trying to lighten the mood.
"Are you crazy?! I'm not ready to die just yet!"
"Plus this guy is even stronger than the D-Reaper," Gallantmon said. "Any bright ideas, Tai?"
"You're asking me for any ideas? Shoot… I don't have any at the very moment."
Doomsdramon slowly steps forward and pointed his finger at the group. He looked ready to fire his adversaries at once with one of his very own techniques.
"Ok, children. Playtime is over. With one blast, I'll reduce you to atomic dust. I hope each of you have said your prayers. This site will be the place for your graves. Sayanora."
Demon's Cavern
Rei halted to a complete stop. This caught everyone off track. Even Metalla X was growing rather impatient with her.
"Ok, what is it Rei?" Davis said.
"I don't know but I feel something strange."
"Like what? Tell us," Dorothy asked.
"I… I can't tell…"
Unbeknownst to them, there was an evil force at work beyond their reach. Perhaps this was the last obstacle they had to overcome before reaching Saitou's lair.
"All I know is that I have a bad feeling about this," answered Rei. "Mr. Saitou probably has set a final trap on us."
"Another damn obstacle?! I'm through with these damn distractions!" Metalla X cursed.
"Yeah! What's that creep waiting for?! We're going to get Max whether he wants us to or not!" Keke said.
"Calm down, everyone. I'm sure if he work together on this, we'll pull through," Kari assured everyone.
"Tell that to the clock. We have only an hour left," said TK.
"I don't know about you but I'm ready for anything," Davis replied. "Right, Veemon?"
"You said it!"
Suddenly, Metalla X stopped for a moment and felt a tremendous power erupting from outside the cavern. He recognized the great power, as did the digimon.
"Whoa! What is it, guys?!" asked Keke.
"For a minute there, I felt Tai and Takato just now," Gatomon said. "Plus, the monster they're fighting!"
"Yeah. It's unfortunate I was unable to sense them since we were still trapped inside Mari's territory," Metalla X said.
"So, what are you planning on doing?" Patamon asked the wolf warrior.
"What else? I'm leaving you guys to take it from here. I'm going out to fight whatever Tai and the others are fighting now. Maybe this monster can provide a challenge for me at least."
"You're going to leave us behind?" Davis said.
"Davis. It's up to you, my brother and Hikari to carry on without me. This is your chance to prove yourselves once again. Who knows what kinds of dangers present themselves beyond the doorways. But remember this… You three are Digi-Destined and proud ones at that."
"Matt," TK muttered. "You can count on us."
"I know I can. Now if you'll excuse me."
With that said, Metalla X powers up with a flaring aura around his body. He flies out with tremendous speed in hopes of making it over in time to save Tai and the others. He left Davis' group behind to pick up the slack. TK and Kari looked over towards the doorways standing across from them.
"Ok, guys. You ready for this?" Davis asked. "There are two doorways just ahead of us. I'll be taking the one on the right with Veemon. Anyone else would like to join?"
"I'll go," Keke said. "Anybody else? Say something now or forever hold your piece."
"Count me in," Henry replied.
"Heh. Don't have to tell me twice. I'm game!" Terriermon said.
"Great. That leaves me, Kari, Dorothy and Rei to take the other doorway," TK replied.
"I have a really bad feeling about this you guys," Rei said.
"Don't worry. Whatever is behind these doors shouldn't be that much of a problem," Kari assured the girl.
"Well, I'm ready to get going. How about you guys?" Dorothy asked.
Everyone responded to her questions with simple nods. Davis and TK simultaneously opened the doors. Before they could even react, vortexes appeared before them and immediately started to pull them in like a vacuum. They couldn't even get a chance to grab a foothold to prevent themselves from getting sucked in.
"UGH! HANG ON TIGHT EVERYONE!" Davis screamed out.
"I SURE DIDN'T EXPECT THIS!" exclaimed Veemon.
"OH! THIS SUCKS ON SO MANY LEVELS!" Terriermon cried out.
Before they even had another chance to scream, the groups were pulled in through the vortexes immediately. The doors closed and dispersed within thin air literally. A deep laughter was echoing beyond the caverns.
"Have fun with your new cellmates," Saitou's haunting voice whispered throughout the caverns.
? Interdimensional world
After having crossed through the first doorway, TK, Patamon, Kari, Gatomon, Rei Saiba and Dorothy found themselves in a desert-like setting. The landscape was barren with barely any life activity. The mountains across the horizon were gigantic and quite a magnificent view. Winds blew across the landscape and brushes dust against the arrivals.
"Where are we exactly, Rei?" Patamon asked.
"I have no idea. This place is new to me. I wasn't expecting a doorway into another world."
"Well, Rei sure as heck didn't expect Mari to set up a territory within the caverns," Kari replied. "It's obvious Saitou is attempting to hold us back from saving Max."
"But, we only have an hour left," Dorothy said. "We have to find a way out of here before the tunnel is opened."
"We know, but where is the way out of here?" TK wondered. "We'll begin searching."
"Agreed. I say we split up and find the doorway out of here," Kari suggested for everyone.
"That sounds like a brilliant plan, but too bad it won't work as long as I'm around," an arrogant voice calls out.
This haunting voice brought chills down the spines of both TK and Kari. They had been acquainted with this voice before and Kari was hopeful to never make contact with this individual ever again. The group looked up to find a very intimidating figure looking down upon them with keen interest. This individual has blue green hide skin and on his back were a pair of black insect like wings. Underneath the wings was a tan-colored appendage with a needle at the end. His face was human-like in appearance yet there was purple streaks on the sides of his face and his eyes were pink with black irises. Over his head was a crown-like appendage rising up and split in the middle. His shins and forehead were black and his feet were yellow.

A sinister grin formed on the villain's face and Kari could only mutter one name to identify the enemy.
"Virus…"
"It's been such a long time, Hikari. I see you've grown up since the last time we've met. I also see you've brought along Takeru, your digimon pets and… Two new players in the game. I can tell one of you is the D-Reaper's reincarnation. Dorothy. How good to finally meet you."
"The pleasure is not mine!" hissed Dorothy.
"This guy looks bad!" Rei said.
"Believe me, he is. He took my life and tried to do away with Kari during the War Games many years ago," TK informed her.
"Yeah. I'll never forget that day. I remember it as if it were yesterday," Kari growled. "So, you decided to show yourself again? I thought you were stuck in digital limbo."
"Last time I checked Tai and Takato made short work of you and Burizalor," Gatomon stated.
"Ah, but was long before Millenniumon set us free from our prison. He has granted us one final chance to do away with you, digi-pests."
"Ha, you keep telling yourself that," Kari laughed. "My power has grown extraordinarily since the last time we clashed. Mystic Celesta will destroy you!"
"Maybe, but I've keep my eye on your battles even during my imprisonment in limbo. I studied you like a hawk. I now know all of your strengths and weaknesses. The cells of you still course within me and are telling me that you're not what you used to be. I guess being a mother has softened you these past few years."
Clenching her fists, Kari pulls out her D-3 and prepared to undergo digital fusion with Gatomon. But, TK was quick to stop her.
"Don't let him get to you, Kari. We'll work this together."
"Takeru…"
"Yes, you should listen to your dearest husband, Hikari. Because I'm not the same Virus you've dealt with last time. With Millenniumon's dark powers coursing through me, I'll be a much more formidable enemy than before! Now, behold the true power of perfection! HI-YA!"
With that said, Virus let out an earth-shattering scream and his body became engulfed by a dark aura. The muscles on his body bulged with veins sticking out. His eyes became possessed with a demonic flare. His screams soon were replaced by a sinister laughter. Marked on his forehead was an M emblem to indicate the marking of Millenniumon. The digimon stood their ground to protect their human partners. Dorothy protected Rei Saiba while holding her back.
"No way! You mean to tell me Hikari and Takeru dealt with this entity of evil?!" Rei asked.
"Yes! Judging by his power, he's not bluffing. Millenniumon has boosted his power to the max. I don't think even Mystic Celesta may stand a chance!"
"We're going to have to give it a try, Dorothy," Kari said. "I've beaten this creep once and I can sure as heck do it again!"
"You said it, girl!" Gatomon said in reply.
"Ha! That's what you think, fools. You'll never make it out of here alive. You'll be long dead before that tunnel even opens. Even you will bow to my might, Hikari. You will never humiliate me again. I end your pathetic life today."
(End theme)
? Different Interdimensional world
Inside another interdimensional world, Davis, Veemon, Henry, Terriermon and Keke found themselves within a massive dome arena. There weren't any signs of life activity in the stands or even around the stadium. It was quiet… way too eerily quiet. Even Keke couldn't stand the eeriness.
"Ok, this is creeping me out. Where are the other people?" Keke asked. "Are we alone?"
"Looks like we've been sent into another realm," Henry said while looking around his surroundings.
"Nah! You think!" Terriermon sarcastically said.
"Ha. Ha. I forgot when to laugh."
Davis walks across the field and notices no soccer nets. This wasn't even a suitable arena to play soccer.
"Well, this sucks. What are we doing to do now? Veemon. Would you think they'd hide the doorway back?"
"How the heck should I know?"
"Good point, but we're just one step closer to reaching Max."
"Um, guys. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we've got company," Keke stuttered.
"Hey, who let an albino lizard in here with black lipstick?" Terriermon asked.
"Um, no one why?" Davis asked.
"That's why!" Veemon pointed out.
Davis and the crew looked up towards the rafters of the arena. The second enemy looked down upon them with his devilish eyes. A grin forms across his face and immediately levitates out from the rafters. The mystery person revealed himself from the darkness. He was short in stature, has an odd oval-shaped baldhead, his skin was completely white and has a long lizard tail. There are dark blue patches on the top of his head, chest cavity, around the shoulders and on the knees. His eyes emitted a crimson glow, which gave off an eerie effect.
(Play Inuyasha OST theme The Wicked Naraku)
"BURIZALOR!" Davis and Veemon exclaimed.
"So, that's Burizalor? We finally get a glimpse of the tyrant himself, Terriermon."
"Feh, he doesn't look so tough from up there!"
"Greetings, digi-pests. I see I've only attracted a few of you. Too bad Taichi couldn't make it. I was hoping to finish my ordeal with that retched human. But…"
Burizalor swiftly lands on the ground and scrunches his finger under his nose.
"You guys shall do, especially you goggle head-wannabe. Daisuke. I'll have the pleasure of torturing you before I leave this dimension to find Taichi."
"Over my dead body you will!" Davis threatened.
"Ha! So your the infamous Burizalor!" Keke said. "Hello, I'm Keke Ishida."
"Daughter of Yamato… I can smell the same stench of him off of you!"
"Glad to know that you know my father. He just left and I'm going to carry out where he left off. You caused him enough grief when he briefly worked for you. He said that he'd never catch himself dead ever serving you again."
"Ah, is that a fact?"
"Yes. Davis. Let's show this bastard no mercy."
"Keke. You leave this guy with me."
"Ultima X will be enough," Veemon said. "Nah, it'd be slaughter. Burizalor, you just signed your own death warrant."
"I'll have the pleasure to smack you around, baldy," snickered Terriermon.
"Fools. What you don't realize is that I've been released from limbo and have become empowered with an essence of Millenniumon's mysticism. You'll be dealing with a brand new Burizalor!"
"Blah. Blah. We've heard that one before," Davis said. "Tai kicked your ass and I'll have the pleasure to carry it out for him."
"Lesson one, cretin: Never underestimate me. EVER!"
"Lesson two: Don't piss Davis Motomiya off," the goggle head young adult said. "Veemon! Let's get ready to…"
"RUMBA!"
"That's right. Keep mocking me. You'll regret everything you've just said! YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE TYRANT OF THE DIGITAL UNIVERSE! RAA!"
Suddenly, the earth under Burizalor's feet caved in and bolts of electricity surged through his pale form. His eyes became crimson red like a demon's and a black aura engulfed his body. The tyrant's muscles, much like Virus, were starting to expand. Everyone there was traces of veins appearing, including around his forehead. Also, just like Virus, an M emblem formed on his forehead. The tyrant laughed satanically while his power increased tremendously.
(End theme)
"Whoa, I still can't believe the Digi-Destined had to fight this guy," Henry said. "This will be a testament for us, Terriermon."
"Just leave him to me, Henry! I'll show this loser he made a mistake ever crossing my path! Hi-ya! Come get ya some, Burizalor!"
"Dad actually battled this creep?" Keke wondered. "Though he did say he wasn't the same as before."
"Burizalor! This is going to be the last time we Digi-Destined EVER hear or see from you again! We're going to end you!" Davis cried out.
"That's good because I'll have the privilege to end your life, Daisuke! Followed by your friends one by one! Only one of us will make it out of here alive!"
Davis and Veemon prepared themselves for the worst to come. The tyrant was close to finishing his power-up. Now in order to save Max and stop the tunnel, the groups would now have to deal with two of their greatest enemies. Would the villains at last triumph or will they once again fall into humiliation?
Outside Demon's Cavern
Keeping an eye out on any outside intrusions, the remaining portions of the team stayed at their post. Suzie, Lopmon, Kazu, Guardromon, Kenta and Marine Angemon were playing cards together. Sonja remained on guard since Sora left with Izzy and Mimi. Impmon was sitting on top of the hovercraft nearly dozing off.
"Yawn Could this job get any less fun?" Impmon wondered.
"Just stay patient, Impmon," sighed Sonja.
"Me, stay patient? Listen lady, I'm about to lose it here."
"If you would just keep your-"
Just then, Sonja turned as she sensed a presence emerging through the cave's entrance. It was Shintomon, who held a deceased Mari in his arms.
"Hey, it's about time you showed up!" Impmon said. "Say, who do you got there?"
"Is everyone all right? How are Davis and Veemon?" Sonja asked.
"Everyone inside is just fine. I managed to leave with this one. She was one of Saitou's Spell casters."
"How did… did she die?"
"It's a long story, Impmon. Even you would have a hard time believing everything I say."
"Well, never mind I asked."
Suddenly, Shintomon gasped as he turned around to sense a great power emerging from the caverns. Within a split second, a super sonic blur flew out from the cave's entrance. Shintomon was thrown off his feet and onto his back from the force of the blur. Impmon and Sonja gasped as they felt a rather familiar ki from it.
"That was Yamato just now!" Sonja exclaimed.
"Now, where is that guy going?" the little rookie asked.
"It seems that he was able to pick up the energy signal from Tai and the others. They are currently engaged in a battle with the last monster."
"The last monster?!"
"That's right."
"No wonder I've been feeling uneasy ever since you guys went into that cave. I couldn't go because I didn't think I would stand a chance. Besides, Davis was inside the cavern and Sora asked me to stay here."
"It's understandable, Sonja. We'll let Yamato carry on with this. Besides, Taichi and the others need as much help as they can."
"Right. So, in the meantime, we're sitting on the sidelines?" Sonja sighed.
"Not really. If they need our help in the caverns, we'll be here."
"Good. I was just about to become bored out my mind here," said Impmon.
"For now, we'll stay put. We have to count on them to reach Saitou's lair and stop the tunnel from opening. We only have one hour left to spare until possible Armageddon comes. Come on, guys. I hope you found that tunnel by now."
Little did they realize that both teams were just split up through doorways and were set to battle two of the strongest villains in the digital universe. Even Sonja was having second thoughts of standing around. She had a bad premonition that her husband was seriously in trouble.
Elsewhere across from Demon's Cavern
Soaring across the heavens way past super sonic speed, Metalla X was on his way towards the battlefield where Omega X was engaged. He could feel out just about everyone's powers, including Doomsdramon.
"Yes! Finally, I get to see some action after being trapped inside that damn territory. Tai, you better have not died just yet. Because I just may have an idea of how to defeat this monster. On the other hand, I'm really going to hate myself for saying this… I'm sure you'll be jumping for joy at the idea. Well, enough of that. It's time we get serious."
Metalla X boosted his speed and sailed across the skies. Along the way, he immediately spotted Hercules Kabuterimon, Rosemon and Phoenixmon. Hanging on for the ride on their digimon were Sora, Izzy and Mimi respectively. Dimitri was taking flight alongside the digimon. The boy was the first to pick on the incoming ki signal. He immediately recognized it as his father's.
"Everyone! It's my dad! Look!" Dimitri shouted.
They all looked ahead to see a super sonic blur traveling out across the heavens.
"Rosemon. Was that Matt just now?" asked Mimi.
"Yes. It seems he's gotten much stronger than before," Rosemon replied.
"I overheard Yamaki informing me by e-mail about Matt and Gabumon receiving a dosage from the Brutes Waves," Izzy said.
"The same waves used on Matt when he was possessed by Bebimon?" asked Sora.
"Yes and it my assumptions are correct. Then… YES!"
"What now, Izzy?" Hercules Kabuterimon said.
"Mimi. Sora. Looks like we have ourselves another level four fusion warrior."
"WHAT?!" the girls exclaimed in unison.
"No wonder his energy signal was higher than usual," Phoenixmon said. "It's off the scale and he's probably even equal to Tai's power now."
"In that case, he just might be on his way to face the monster with the digicores. We had better not miss this!" Izzy said. "Let's get it going, Hercules Kabuterimon."
"I'm on it!"
"Wow… You've really done it, dad," Dimitri said. "What do you think, mom?"
"Incredible. We better hurry it up. I'd like to see him in action!"
"Yes, m'am," Sora sighed. "Tai… I hope you and the others are hanging in there before we get there. Once we deal with this monster, then we're going to go after Saitou. He must pay for kidnapping our little boy."
As they continued onward, they were unaware of the present danger currently taking root within Demon's Cavern. Their comrades have been directly sent into separate dimensional worlds to do battle with Virus and Burizalor. They only had one hour left to get to the others, defeat the final monster and fly on back to Demon's Cavern. Sora was hopeful that they were going to make it there in time. She was not ready to lose all hope just yet as long as Max was still alive.
Desert Interdimension
As Virus finished powering up, he emerged out of the smoke cloud. The body on his stature was larger and his eyes were possessed with wicked dark energy. The M emblem on his forehead shone with mystical power. Kari and TK stood their ground while facing off with their old enemy.
"Ahh… You see now? This is the power I've received from Millenniumon. I have exceeded your very best, Hikari. So, what are you going to do now?"
"I know what we're going to do," TK said as he held his D-3. "We're taking you down, Virus."
"That's right. Nothing is going to hold me back from finishing you off for good and saving my nephew."
"You two still don't get it. Fine, have it your way. Don't come crying to me when I easily brush you two to the side."
"All right, Dorothy. You leave to this us. Make sure Rei is safe from harm," Gatomon said.
"No problem. Just leave it to me!"
Just then, Virus gestures over at Dorothy and nods his head.
"I'm afraid I can't let you go, Dorothy. You got yourself involved in this. Now you must pay with these two. As a matter of fact, I've brought along some friends you can play with at the moment. Chibi-Viruses! Come forth!"
With that said, seven tiny miniature versions of Virus emerged from the ground. They squeaked loudly, which started to annoy Kari. She could never forget seeing these little runts again. Then again, Lamiamon had summoned some of these critters.
"I take it you remember them, Hikari. It wasn't too long ago that Lamiamon summoned these. Yes, they shall go and have some fun with Dorothy."
"Please, I've beaten them once and I can do it again," Dorothy said while taking a battle stance.
"Yes, but they've also been possessed by Millenniumon's dark essence. So they should prove to be little more difficult this time."
"That's enough talk out of you, Virus! Let's get this over with!"
"As you wish, Takeru… I shall allow you and Hikari to transform into your warrior forms. Impress me. I'm looking forward to this Mystic form of yours, Hikari."
"You ask and you shall receive," Kari growled. "Gatomon!"
"Patamon!"
The digimon pair huddled beside their partners and became engulfed by columns of light. Their bodies were undergoing a dramatic transformation from human form to their fusion warrior states.
(Play Digimon Zero Two theme Beat Hit!")
"NOW! FUSION SHINKA!"
First, TK and Patamon were then brought together into a quick fusion. Within a few moments, they were merged together and became a single warrior. Taking their place was none other than War Angemon. His armor looked exactly like Seraphimon's, except that his body was sleeker and a sword was wielded on his right hand. On his back was a pair of ten golden wings. His helmet was decorated with golden letter writings and contained a pair of wings on each side.
"WAR ANGEMON!"
Once War Angemon finished his transformation, Kari and Gatomon were next to performing their fusion evolution. Mystic Celesta stood in their place with fully body armor and better protection. A sword was attached to the female warrior's back. Mystic Celesta takes out the sword and wields it.
"MYSTIC CELESTA!"
The bio-artificial was in complete awe at the magnificent sight of the warriors representing Hope and Light. He started clapping, which did not suite well for the duo.
"Impressive! You two have exceeded my expectations. Hikari, I'm especially proud of you. You're not the same teenage brat I dealt with years ago. You've matured into quite the beauty."
"Pervert. I'm sending you back where you belong."
"Those are some bold statements, Hikari. Care to demonstrate how you'll carry on with your threat?"
"It's no threat, Virus. That's a promise," War Angemon growled.
"A threat, huh? Well then. Why don't we drop this conversation and carry on with the battle? Chibi-Viruses. I want you to fight Dorothy and show her no mercy. Now, go my children!"
"Kiki! Ki! Ki!" the tiny monsters chirped in unison.
"Dorothy! Rei! Look out!" Mystic Celesta warned the girls.
Immediately responding to the warrior's warning, Dorothy snatched Rei up and flies off into the distance. She couldn't afford to have Rei get anywhere close to the battlefield. Unlike the games with Mari, this was a far more dangerous situation and this enemy is even more destruction through his methods.
Looking back behind her, Dorothy found the Chibi-Viruses flying out in a swarm. They giggled out simultaneously.
"They're gaining on us, Dorothy!" Rei shrieked.
"Don't worry. Once I get you to safety, I'm taking these clowns apart."
"Wow, you're a girl of many talents…"
"Yeah. I get that compliment every time."
Meanwhile, Virus was facing off with both Mystic Celesta and War Angemon. He held out both hands and taunted his adversaries by waving his hands out.
"C'mon. Both you attack at once."
"If we did that, we'd kill you in an instant," Mystic Celesta snorted.
"But, you forget. I'm not the same Virus. Allow me to demonstrate!"
As soon as he said that, Virus dashes across the deserted landscape and puts out his hands to fire out a dual blast. The holy warrior pair put up their guard while preparing to attack the villain at once. However, Virus quickly phases out and disappears from their sight. Mystic Celesta searched around for Virus' ki and turned to find Virus delivering a spinning back kick. She quickly throws out an arm and blocks his kick. She takes her other hand and attempts to drive her sword through his chest. Virus bent backwards to allow the sword to point outward in the air.
"C'mon, Hikari. I was just wide open for you to attack."
"Don't taunt me!"
Mystic Celesta throws out a punch, which Virus was able to swipe away to the side. He retaliates by nailing a fist across her face. War Angemon takes up arms and charges forward. He leaps out while slashing his sword across Virus. Each blade swipe barely even made a mark on Virus, who was easily dodging the slashes.
"Takeru. I'm disappointed in you. Your power hasn't even grown that much since the War Games."
"TK! Hold on!"
Turning his head back, Virus is set with a kick to his stomach by Mystic Celesta. The artificial had a pained look on his face for a moment but not long before delivering an uppercut to the female. War Angemon takes advantage of the distracted Virus and slashes at him with his sword. The possessed artificial phases out and slammed his fists across War Angemon's back. The angelic warrior of hope falls back onto the ground.
"Takeru hasn't improved at all. But you, Hikari. You're a different matter. I know you're not giving it your all. Show me more of your in depth power."
"You want it…? Well, Virus. You're going to get it."
Mystic Celesta stands up as she powers up a white aura. She took a stance, which brought memories to Virus' eyes. This was the same epic battle at the conclusion of the War Games. It's been twelve years in the making and neither side was going to back down.
(End theme)
"I have to give this my best shot," Mystic Celesta thought. "He's come back stronger. Not just that but he has been upgraded with Millenniumon's dark essence. Only my purifying light can penetrate through his darkness."
"No matter what you try, Hikari. The darkness shall sweep away your precious light."
The two rivals prepared themselves with neither taking their eyes off of each other.
Stadium Interdimension
Once finishing his immediate power up, Burizalor's form was much larger than before. The muscles on his body enlarged with veins appearing all across his body. His eyes, much like Virus', were purely crimson. Unlike Virus, there were some distinct chances of his appearance. A pair of demonic wings sprouted from his back and a pair of horns formed on his head. A black aura of electricity surged through his powered up form. A large crater formed under his feet.
Davis and Veemon looked on in utter disbelief. This was certainly not the same Burizalor they came to expect. Having only fought him briefly, Davis still hasn't seen the sheer horrors this monster was capable of. Henry and Terriermon watched with utter horror. Even the cocky Terriermon couldn't utter a single witty comment. Keke stood her ground while keeping herself together and not showing any fear in her eyes.
"Ah, there! You can surely thank Millenniumon for this. My creator has been so good to me."
"Wait, you mean Millenniumon created you?!" asked Henry.
"That's correct, Tamer. Mutalior, my dearest father, and myself were amongst the first Corrupts to be created from Millenniumon's essence. He gave us birth and we're grateful to even seek refuge in this plane of existence."
"Wait a minute! I don't understand why you would help Saitou since it was you that caused his breakdown!" Davis exclaimed. "I was told about it through Sora before we came into this cave."
"Ah, yes, dearest Saitou. Virus and myself launched this plan. Millenniumon helped to release us from our prison. This is our last chance to redeem ourselves and kill you retched children!"
"With that out of the way, I have another question. I take it you knew of earth before you even considered destroying," Henry continued on.
"You are a curious boy, aren't you? Yes, I supplied the digimon to the crazed human fanatics. Those humans were the ones who tortured the hopeless fools. I merely just was the supplier. Nothing more. Now that I've quit my position as a supplier, I seek conquest and power. Ever since I learned of the Digi-Destineds' crests, ultimate power has been my one goal. Now, that's enough chitchat I say. I think it's time I get down to business and take care of you fools myself!"
"Ha. Well, I hate to break it to you pal, but we've come prepared. Veemon! Get ready!"
"Right!"
"Watch this, Burizalor. I bet you've been paying well enough attention during our recent fights."
"Terriermon! Time to bio-merge!"
"Hear that baldy? We're kicking your pale butt!"
"In honor of my father, Yamato Ishida, I won't back down against the likes of you," Keke growled.
"Interesting, so you fools have means to reach higher levels. Good. Because I was beginning to think if you were worth my time."
"Since Tai scared the living pants off of you with Omega X, allow us to introduce Ultima X, the warrior extraordinaire!"
"Ultima X…"
(Play Final Fantasy VII theme Battle Theme)
As soon as Davis stopped with the introduction, he held his D-3 and became engulfed by a bright column of light. The same light, too, engulfed Veemon. Followed by him were Henry and Terriermon being pulled together by a bright green aura barrier.
"Terriermon BIOMERGE!"
"Veemon! FUSION SHINKA!"
Henry transformed into a stream of green data. He and Terriermon were merged together into one entity. The tiny rookie himself underwent a great transformation as his mammal body was replaced by a heavy load of green armor. Massive, war arms replaced his once tiny limbs. His legs grew in gigantic stature. His face quickly digivolved through all three of his forms. Terriermon… Galgomon… Rapidmon… Back to Terriermon again. At last, his new head emerged. It was dog-like with armor covering parts of his face. Terriermon had now become a large war machine equipped with heavy artillery.
"Mega Gargomon!"
Davis and Veemon were immediately merged together as they evolved into their fused warrior form. He emerges as a well-built warrior with powerful ki emitting from his body. His body is purely dark blue with a chiseled form. Parts of his newly developed body had armor, which covered his chest, arms and shoulders. His face was similar to Xveemon but with a few of Davis' facial features. The fused fighter throws out a few punches with rapid speed.
"MEGA VEEMON!"
"Hmph, so this is it? Where's Ultima X?" Burizalor sighed. "This is certainly quite amusing."
"Mega Veemon! CHOU SHINKA!"
A coat of data engulfed Mega Veemon in order for him to undergo his next evolution. This next form would be a sight to behold. Blue metallic arm formed around his arms and the same applies for his legs. After that, his body became embedded with silver armor equipped with glider-wings and a pair of claws extracted from each hand. His face was then covered by a facemask similar to Imperialdramon's, but a visor shielded his eyes. Attached to his right hip is a light saber.
"SABER VEEMON!"
"So, are you through yet…?"
"SHUT IT, PUNK! This is just the beginning! Saber Veemon! UPGRADE SHINKA!"
With another data coating surrounding him, the warrior's body became encased in white armor similar to Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. His arms and legs became built for battle with claws scathed out. His face was covered in armor and encased with a visor over his eyes. An enormous sword blade materialized in front of the warrior. He takes it and unsheathes the sword to reveal a long-tipped blade. On his back was a pair of glider wings that were longer in wingspan than an albatross.
"ULTIMA X!"
"Now, that's kick butt," Mega Gargomon commented through Henry. "Not as kick ass as me but yeah, Ultima X rocks!"
"Hey, I can't let you boys have all the fun," Keke said while powering up an aura.
"So, what do you have to say now, smart ass?" Ultima X said to Burizalor.
"Not bad, but even that still won't save you. Since Millenniumon has bestowed me with a portion of his power, my power has gone up tremendously. I'd say even a level three fusion warrior would have a hard time handling me."
"Well, I am at about that range," Ultima X thought. "Then again, I can raise it up to a digital fusion four power level."
"Now before we get started, allow me to acquaint the little girl with subordinates of mine. ARISE MY CULTIVARMON!"
Following the overlord's command, green little Martian-like monsters burrowed out from the ground. Each one possessed a toothy grin and each shared a bloodlust for torture.
"Ick! I have to fight these things?!" Keke gagged. "Gross!"
"Don't worry, Keke. You should handle these guys on your own. Mega Gargomon will be there when you need him."
"You can count on me, Keke."
"Thanks, but I'm sure I can take these losers myself," sighed Keke.
"That leaves just you and me, Burizalor. Tai and Dimitri beat you before. Now, it's my turn to finish where they left off. I'm sending you back to limbo and hope you stay there as a permanent resident."
"Such bold words, Ultima X. Let's just see you carry through on your threat! HA!"
Burizalor launches himself forward and throws out an array of punches at Ultima X. Surprisingly, the overlord was pushing Ultima X back. Each blow was causing the fusion warrior to put up a defense.
"Damn! I've got to stay on my feet! He's not kidding when he said that his power grew!"
"See? I told you! Never overlook me, the terror of the digital universe!"
With that said, Burizalor's wings spread and launched his prehensile tail at the warrior. He attempted to snare Ultima X by the throat to choke him out.
"Now, hold still!"
"Ha, so I can become your prey? Never!"
(End theme)
Elsewhere, Keke attacked the Cultivarmon with an array of martial attacks. She threw out punches and kicks to knock away the tiny critters. Even though they were each at an ultimate level, the girl was easily handling them on by herself. Mega Gargomon grabbed a swarm of Cultivarmon and threw him onto the ground. With one gigantic step, the towering mega crushed a large majority of the monsters.
"Heh. Heh. Squish! That takes care of those nasty roaches!" Mega Gargomon said through Terriermon. "Don't look now, Terriermon. There's plenty of more ahead!"
With Henry's warning foretold, Mega Gargomon turned to find more Cultivarmon sprouting out of the ground. This would prove to be very frustrating for the mega and the digi-girl.
"Crap! There's more coming!"
"Don't worry, Mega Gargomon. We can take care of these guys. It's Davis and Veemon I'm a little worried about."
Burizalor swooped down onto Ultima X and lashed his tail across. Ultima X caught it just in time and pulls out his sword. He goes to slice the monster's tail off but Burizalor saw this through. He quickly phases out and reappears above the warrior. He puts his hands together and launches an energy blast down on his adversary. Ultima X sensed the attack coming and barely managed to move away. Burizalor took advantage of this and u-turned around Ultima X. He comes up behind Ultima X and drives an elbow into his back for good measure.
"ACK! Damn, he's too fast!"
"Not only has my power increased but so has my speed. Bless you, Millenniumon."
"Tell him that I'm not welcome!" Ultima X lashed around.
He took his sword and went to stab Burizalor, but the overlord flew out with his wings being spread out like a gargoyle.
"You can't run for long, you pale bastard!"
"I'm just only beginning, Daisuke. The end will soon come for you."
Back at the ground zero battle with Doomsdramon
Back at the ground zero site away from any major neighboring cities, a face off was currently taking place at the moment. Doomsdramon stood at one side of the battlefield fully recovered and back to one whole piece. Omega X, Crimson Gallantmon and the others looked on from the other side. Even the combined efforts of Tai and Takato weren't enough to completely destroy the beast, as long as he possesses the seven digicore pieces.
Doomsdramon makes another step forward and chuckled deeply with a devious thought running through his mind.
"It's time, digi-pests. Time for me to put you out of your miseries. I'll go ahead and kill you all off at once."
"I don't think so! Not on my watch, pal!" Omega X retorted.
"Damn, I don't want to die like this…" JP sighed.
"We're not going to die," Kouichi assured the older boy. "We're going to make it through. I just know it."
"Digi-Destined. Tamers. Legendary Warriors. You won't have to worry much longer about the earth's fate. The Synisters won't really be necessary to wipe out the human race. I'll do that myself if need be."
As Doomsdramon said that, one of the digicore orbs illuminated with dark negative energy. Omega X immediately saw through to this and turned around to face the group. Small holes appeared around his sides and out emerged an array of missiles.
(Play Mega Megan X OST theme Vile Theme)
"EVERYONE! GET BACK!"
"APOCALYPSE MISSILES!" the dragon beast roared.
As the missiles were sent across the landscape, the mega digimon gathered about to carry off the weaker individuals of the group. That means the likes of Cody, Joe, Armadillomon and Gomamon were carried. Omega X, Crimson Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon took off to carry away other members of the team. Luckily, they were able to dodge the missiles in time. But not for long as Doomsdramon speed blitzed through the entire group. Mummymon, Arukenimon and Black Gatomon were blown back from the impact from the missiles.
Doomsdramon took it upon himself by launching himself across his adversaries. First, Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon were the first become victims of the dragon's assault. Next, Doomsdramon delivered elbow shots into Crimson Gallantmon and Sakuyamon. The beast launched himself at Pikkan and drives a knee into his chest. Cyberleomon received a tail lash courtesy of the demonic dragon. BW was clotheslined viciously from out of nowhere by Doomsdramon. Doomsdramon decided to play even dirtier as he flew out and punched Mummymon away with a single fist.
"No! Mummymon!" Arukenimon cried out.
"Damn! This guy sure doesn't like to play fair!" replied Black Gatomon.
Finally, Doomsdramon appears behind Omega X and tapped him on the shoulder. The warrior turned to be met with a kick to his face. The kick had enough force to send the level four warrior plummeting down into the surface below. He levitates down on a tower of rubble and gazed down on his dirty work. Nearly everyone within the group was laid out. Even Crimson Gallantmon, Pikkan, BW, Cyberleomon and the Zeta warriors were put down. The humans and the rookie digimon were safe underneath the bodies of the higher level digimon.
(End theme)
Suddenly, there was a tail wagging across the rubble. Doomsdramon gazes down to find Omega X emerging from under the rubble. A look of defiance crossed Omega X's face.
"Don't… think this is over just yet, Doomsdramon."
"Just rest in peace already, Taichi Kamiya. Your persistence is futile."
The dragon fades out from sight and instantly reappears with his back turned against Omega X. The warrior of courage didn't turn his body around yet he managed to keep a close eye on him.
"Make it easy on yourself, Taichi. Release the burden placed on your shoulders. There will be many pleasant things to see when you go to heaven."
"Ha. You're a good joker. Nah, I'm going to make you experience that pleasant experience, Doomsdramon."
"Now that's funny," Doomsdramon chuckled. "Just what the hell can you do in your condition?"
As Doomsdramon turned around to chop Omega X down to size with a hand swipe, the warrior phased out. He felt two arms wrap around the spikes on his back. He gasped and turned around to find Omega X attached onto his back.
"Hey! Quit fooling around, Taichi! Let me go!"
"Like hell I will!"
"I'm going to kill you once I break free!"
"Yamato. I'm preparing to use the same technique you used when you tried to blow the hell out of the D-Reaper! Hell, this was the same trick I tried using on Jax a few days ago. But, this time I'll make sure I get it right!"
"GRAH! WHAT?! ARE YOU INSANE?!" Doomsdramon roared.
Suddenly, a sphere of light appeared over Omega X's chest and engulfed his entire body. Soon Doomsdrmaon found himself trapped within an orange barrier as if it were ready to go off in an explosion. More energy was being absorbed directly through the warrior's radiant form.
"NO! YOU'VE LOST IT, TAICHI!"
Joe, Cody, Jeri, Calumon, Armadillomon and Gomamon looked on helplessly. Crimson Gallantmon was the first to get to his feet and looked across. He gasped since he knew what Omega X was aiming for. BW was the next to rise slowly from under the rubble.
"Tai! Don't do it!" Crimson Gallantmon called out.
"What is he doing?" BW asked.
"Tai is planning to convert his life force into energy, and blowing himself up in the process!"
"Damn! No way!"
"I remember seeing this before," Sakuyamon said as she regained consciousness. "We saw Matt perform this same skill to nearly wipe the D-Reaper out. It was in vain at that time."
"Plus, Tai used this against the Super Artificial," Gallantmon said. "It failed last time. I just hope Tai channels enough, but he'll die in the process!"
"No! He can't do that!" Jeri exclaimed.
"Tai's flipped and this is the most reckless move I've ever seen him do!" Joe said.
"Don't go through it, Tai! It doesn't have to be this way!" Gallantmon pleaded for the warrior.
"No… This is the only thing I can do," Omega X sighed while maintaining hold on the beast. "I this fails, then I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but you'll have to carry on without me. Rescue Max at any costs. No matter what the consequences!"
"TAI! DON'T!" the Tamers called out.
"HERE GOES! IF I DIE DOOMSDRAMON, THEN I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!"
"CURSE YOU, HUMAN!"
Omega X was just moments from completing his task but he was immediately stopped short by a telepathic message. It was from none other than his former rival himself.
(Play Mega Man X theme Zero's Theme)
"Taichi!"
"Ma… Yamato?! What the hell?!"
"Cut the crap! Do you really think that out of date technique will even work on that guy? If you die, then our world not to mention every digital world will be destroyed. Your son will eventually die if Saitou has his way. You've come too far to consider throwing in the towel already. That's not the Tai I knew and beaten up for the two decades."
With that said, Metalla X immediately appeared at his Super Level Four status glory. Omega X turned around and gasped in surprise.
"Matt!"
He released his grip on Doomsdramon and allowed him to take flight into the air. A malevolent grin forms across Omega X's chagrin.
"WHOA! Is that really, Matt?!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "He.. He's even reached the level four status?!"
"Unbelivable! He has to be equal with Tai," Sakuyamon said.
"This is just what we needed. Two super level four warriors on our side," BW laughed. "Awesome!"
"I should have known that bastard would do it," Pikkan said as he emerged from the rubble.
"So, what's your take on this, Joe?" Cody asked.
"I just think we might stand a chance."
"Well I'll be," Armadillomon said. "Two Super level four cowboys saddling up for the high noon showdown."
"Armadillomon. May I suggest The Good, the Bad and the Digi?" Gomamon joked.
"All right, Matt. Let's finally see your worth as a Super level four warrior," Gallantmon said. "Those two have already surpassed me even as Crimson Gallantmon. Heck, I wish I could pull off that trick. I could be a Super level four if I wanted to."
Metalla X walks across the battlefield as he kept his eyes focused onto Doomsdramon.
(End theme)
"Now, the real fight begins, Tai."
"The real fight begins now? Yeah, but this guy will blow your mind once you fight him. Even as a Super level four warrior, I couldn't even completely destroy this jabornie."
"Ha. Do you really think I'm going to come here without a backup plan?"
"You have a backup plan?"
"Yes, now listen-"
"YOO-HOO! Hey, guys! We've finally made it!" a so familiar voice calls out from the heavens.
Everyone, including Doomsdramon, turned to find Rosemon flying down with Mimi hanging on by her right arm. Also following along with them were Phoenixmon, Sora, Dimitri, Izzy and Hercules Kabuterimon. Metalla X stood frozen and slapped his forehead. Even Omega X was surprised to find his wife arriving at the scene.
"Sora?! Mimi?! Izzy?! Dimitri?!" Omega X freaked out. "Just what are you guys doing here?!"
"What else? To see you kick some ass and oh… to take the digicores once you flatten this guy," Sora said.
"Matt! How have you been behaving?" Mimi giggled.
"Woman… I can't believe you're here. This is dangerous territory!"
"So? I've been in much more dangerous frontlines than this."
"I'm afraid not. They're dealing with the final Millenniumon beast," Sakuyamon informed them. "All the other six monsters have been child's play compared to this devil."
"Nah, my dad and Max's dad are going to beat this guy," Dimitri replied. "Just you wait and see."
"Amazing! We're witnessing history you guys. Mark this date. October 29, 2016. The day the earth bare witnessed the union of two Super level four warriors."
"Okay, we get it, Izzy," Hercules Kabuterimon sighed.
"Sorry, but I had to be a little overdramatic. I'm going to add this to the list of important dates I've stored since our first adventure in the digital world. Shoot, I ought to take a picture of them and add it to my wallpaper."
"Izzy. Let's get serious here," Sora said. "Matt and Tai are out there risking their lives to save us. What's important is that we live through to save Max."
"I know… But for now, we'll leave this up to those two."
Mimi looked across at the battlefield and stared in awe at the two warriors. Metalla X had caught her complete attention the most.
"You're looking quite sharp, Matt. You look adorable as a wolfy," the fashion woman giggled. "You're even sharper than Tai!"
"What was that?!" Sora calls out. "Mimi. You better take that back. Tai looks much hotter as a dino-dragon!"
With that said, the two young ladies got into each other's faces and started to have a verbal spat about their respective husbands. Everyone else looked on with sweat drops over their anime foreheads.
"My Matt is much sharper!"
"No way! Tai's sharper!"
"Well, I bet my husband can please me better in bed!"
"Are you challenging me, Miss Fashion Queen?!"
"Flat chest!"
"Oh, that does it! It's own now!"
"Um, Dimitri. Does your mother always get like this?" BW whispered into the boy's ears.
"Yeah, all the time… It's quite sad. She even manages to scare dad and he's not scared of anything."
Just then, Mummymon stepped forward and placed his hands on the two ladies' shoulders. A grin forms on the digimon's face especially since he was getting closer to two gorgeous ladies.
"Now, now, ladies. Let's talk this over. I'm sure a nice, quiet conversation would work just fine. So what do you say?"
The ladies could only respond with one course of action. WHAM! Sora and Mimi's fists connected with the sides of Mummymon's head. His face contorted in pain as the fists caved his head in. Arukenimon sighed hopelessly.
"I'm seriously considering leaving this idiot for good," sighed Arukenimon.
"Not on your lifetime, bandage boy!" Mimi and Sora exclaimed in unison.
"I… I just couldn't resist helping two lovely ladies," Mummymon muttered.
Back on the battlefield, the two Super four warriors levitated to face off with Doomsdramon. The beast wondered what they had in store for him. They turned around to face him. The warrior pair immediately powered up with golden auras surrounding their bodies. They let out earth-shattering screams to caused the heavens to tremble under their sheer might.
"Damn! Are you guys feeling this?!" Pikkan asked.
"Their power together is monstrous!" Cyberleomon exclaimed.
"Wh-What an incredible overpowering feeling," Gallantmon said.
"Wow! It's almost as if the whole earth is shaking," Dimitri said as he tried to maintain balance under the trembling surface.
The warriors continued their ongoing power-up and sent off a golden ray of light across the landscape. Everyone looked on with awe across their faces. Doomsdramon was thrown back by the shockwave of their combined power-up. He managed to chuckle at first sight of the warrior pair.
"No matter how many small fry there are, they will always remain small fry!"
As soon as they finished powering up, the Super four warriors kept their main focus directly onto Doomsdramon. What exactly does Metalla X have in mind? There was only one way to find out and he would reveal that shortly.
Desert Interdimension
(Play Digimon Tamers OST Tamer Action)
The battle between the angelic pair and the demonic artificial was still underway. Virus flew up into the air and raised his hands to form two energy discs. He threw them down one by one. War Angemon immediately saw these through and flew out to lure the discs away. This left Mystic Celesta to create a protective barrier to block out the energy disc. She looked up to find that Virus was no longer airborne.
"Where did he go?!"
She immediately broke her barrier and flies out across the desert. Suddenly, she felt a dark following along behind her. Virus was flying out behind the warrior and launched himself at her. Mystic Celesta leaps over the artificial at the last second and delivers a kick to the back of his head. Virus retaliates with an energy projectile and sends it out towards Mystic Celesta. She barely manages to slice it in half with her sword.
"Very good, Hikari. You have surpassed your lover Takeru."
"That doesn't change anything. You're using the same attacks you used the last time we've fought. Try something original!"
"With pleasure," Virus chuckled.
As soon as he said that, Virus puts out a hand and a long, sharp object formed in his right hand. It turned out to be a sword but rather it was of a dark element unlike Mystic Celesta's light. The artificial concentrated on the dark and channeled his ki through it.
"What's he doing? Yeah, this is a new technique he's using. I assume he's channeling his ki through it and plans to power it up to its maximum. All right, Virus. Now you've proven to be my worthy adversary again. But, I will triumph as long as I believe in myself."
"There. Is that original enough for you?"
"Very. Let's just see whose sword triumphs."
"IKE!"
Virus flies out at his adversary and slashes across with his energy sword. An energy slash is created from the sword and cuts through the sands across. Mystic Celesta manages to counter it by slashing her light sword across into a cross-shape. The cross-slash counters the single slash and cancels it. The artificial takes flight up into the air and cupped his hands together.
"Hikari! Heads up! I'm sure you've become familiar with your brother's own technique! TERRA-"
As an orange energy sphere formed within his palms, Mystic Celesta immediately flies up to meet with Virus. The artificial continued his chant until he reached the '-RA'. After that, he quickly teleported out from sight and caught Mystic Celesta off guard.
"No! My brother's Time Warp!"
"-BEAM!"
Turning back towards her opponent, Mystic Celesta found him launching the copied Terra Beam towards her. She quickly takes her sword and slashes through the massive beam. The beam is cut into two halves like a knife cutting through hot butter.
"Damn. He's not kidding. If he hadn't gained that power up, I would have taken him easily. But Millenniumon has really boosted his strength and speed to the max. I just hope Takeru was fortunate to dodge that energy disc."
"HIKARI! LOOK OUT!"
Without warning, the second energy disc flies out from the far distance. War Angemon was seen in the distance with the energy disc following him out. Virus saw his attack nearing War Angemon and moved his hand across. The energy disc maneuvered around War Angemon and made a u-turn. The artificial directly pointed it out towards War Angemon. Using telekinesis, he directly moved the energy disc without even touching it. War Angemon gasped as the energy disc was close to cutting him down in half. He sends out an energy blast to cancel out the energy disc.
"HOLY BEAM!"
Virus grunted in frustration at the sight of his technique easily being wiped out. He looks across to being met with the two angelic warriors.
"Nice try, Virus. But it's taking to take more than those petty tricks to defeat us," War Angemon said.
"Give it up. Admit defeat and just let us pass through to save Max."
These threats did not phase the artificial one bit and he started to chuckle to himself.
"You two are still as naive as ever. I'm not through yet. As I can see, you two are already becoming fatigued."
"Don't kid yourself. We're just using a small portion of our own energy," Mystic Celesta hissed.
"Don't kid yourselves. You were panicking once I launched my assault. Clearly you weren't expecting me to become just as fast and strong as you two. I've only been taking my sweet time until I wore you down."
"What?! No, you're lying!" War Angemon exclaimed.
"Takeru. I maybe a heartless bastard with no shred of remorse but I am no liar. Care for me to demonstrate your flaws? Very well then…"
As soon as he said that, Virus flies across his two angelic adversaries and swiftly phases through past them. He puts out one hand and held his sword in the other. He slashes across with hiss word to create a pentagon-shaped star. Next, Virus created an energy ball through his other hand and puts it out in front of the pentagon star.
"Hikari! It's another new technique! Get back!"
"No, Takeru!"
"You're stronger than I am. You can take him if you believe!"
"But…"
"I'll be fine. Just don't give up. You've beaten him before and you can do it again."
"That was only because of your encouragement…"
"It doesn't make a difference, Hikari. You can do it. Just don't… give up," War Angemon said a smile.
"NO, TAKERU!"
"You're through, Angel of Hope! DARK RITUAL CHAOS!"
(End theme)
Just as Virus called out his attack, a massive dark energy blast shoots across at full speed. The blast covered nearly a large area of the desert landscape engulfed War Angemon head on. The angelic warrior screamed out once the blast took it's full effect. An explosion occurred over where War Angemon once levitated. Mystic Celesta looks across and lets out angst of tears.
"TAKERU!"
The female dropped her sword and fell to her knees. She felt her knees tremble nervously and her mind was becoming unfocused.
"No… Takeru… I…"
"Well, isn't this a dying shame? The once powerful angel of light is down on her knees. The savior of the two worlds has lost her will to fight. How the mighty have fallen," Virus taunted the female. "Just look at you, Hikari. You're pathetic. I don't see how Taichi can look to you as any use. He's far surpassed you and now… So have I once again."
Having heard enough from Virus' bickering, Mystic Celesta rose to her feet and lets out a deep sigh. A radiant pink-white light engulfed her body. Virus watched as she levitated to where the smoke cloud dissipated from where the blast detonated. She stops to find TK and Patamon lying on the ground while covered in dirt. She hunches over and places a hand over TK's near dead form.
"Just what are you doing, Hikari? I don't have time for this. Come! Let us continue where we left off!"
"Virus… You once took Takeru's life. I'm not about to allow you to do it, AGAIN!" Mystic Celesta screamed out.
(Play Inuyasha OST 1 theme Fight to the Death)
The teary-eyed warrior sends a shock wave through the holy aura surrounding her body. The artificial stops as he felt the shock wave passes through him. He was quickly pushed back by a tremendous force and noticed his nose bleeding. Yes, a simple wave from the female's own aura had done some damage to Virus. Mystic Celesta levitated into the skies to meet head on with Virus. She launched herself across at the dark artificial and goes for a head-on attack. Virus was ready for her with his dark saber but she managed to phase out just in time.
"What?! She's gone!"
"OVER HERE!"
Immediately turning around, Virus turned around and was met with a direct right fist from Mystic Celesta. She grabbed Virus and delivers vicious punches all across his face. After that, she head butted him across his forehead and busted him open in the process. Mystic Celesta releases Virus from her grasp and tosses him across the desert. She phases out and reappears behind the artificial. With one swift kick, Mystic Celesta drove a knee directly into Virus' gut and knocked the wind out of him. His eyes nearly bulged out of his head from the impact. She followed it up with an elbow across his back. As Virus plummeted down to the ground, Mystic Celesta saw this as an opportunity to launch an attack. She puts out her hands and sends out a holy energy blast down upon her hated adversary.
"HOLY BEAM!"
(End theme)
The blast made its mark and reduced the area where Virus was laying into an overlapping explosion. Mystic Celesta saw this through as enough time to recover and watched as a smoke cloud blanketed across the crater. She turned around to find TK and Patamon still buried under where they were laying.
"Dorothy. Rei. I hope you two are doing all right now."
Elsewhere across the desert
The swarm of Chibi-Viruses searched around a rocky canyon ridge in search for both Dorothy and Rei. They attempted to pick up on Dorothy's ki and hear out for any sound vibration. So far, they've been unsuccessful. Hiding behind a rock wall face was Dorothy, who held Rei tightly against her.
"Are they here…?" Rei whispered.
"Yes, now keep quiet."
"Sorry…"
"Rei. I'm going to leave you here. Don't you move a muscle and keep quiet."
"You're actually going to fight those things?"
"Of course. You want them to catch us then?"
Well, no…"
"Ok, then. I'm off to pick these little bastards apart. Stay tight."
Rei gives a nod to Dorothy and quietly kneels down next to the cliff ledge. The blonde-girl takes flight out of hiding and calls out to the Chibi-Viruses.
"Hey, over here, you little midgets!"
"Kiki?! Ki! Ki!" the Chibi-Viruses screeched in unison.
They took flight across the mountains and completely surrounded Dorothy. The D-Reaper reincarnate remained calm despite the odds against her. One Chibi-Virus flew forward and threw out a punch, which was easily caught by Dorothy's hand. She retaliates with a chop across it's neck. The blow of her chop decapitated the Chibi-Virus easily and watched his headless body explode into dust. The other Chibi-Viruses looked around at each other and gulped.
"Well, boys. Who wants to join him?" Dorothy asked with a devious grin.
"Kiki! Ki! Ki!"
The Chibi-Viruses immediately retreated across the mountains but Dorothy wasn't prepared to let them escape that easily. She boosted her energy and sped past the fleeing miniature bio-artificials. She stops in front of them with arms crossed.
"Eh. Eh. You guys aren't leaving the party that soon, hmmm?"
"Kiki! Ki!"
"Can't understand a thing you guys are saying, but you are really starting to annoy me," she growled with a vein forming on her head.
"Attack formation!" a Chibi-Virus screeched.
Following his command, the lead Chibi-Virus remained at the center with the others flying out in all directions. The leader cupped his hands together. Another put its hands out and others were set to use some of the inherited techniques learned from some of the most powerful digimon known across the digital worlds.
"TERRA BEAM!"
"GIGA CANNON!"
"CRIMSON LIGHTING!"
"ICE BARRIER BEAM!"
"TERRA FORCE!"
"HEAT VIPER!"
"RIVER OF POWER!"
"CORRUPT HOLY BEAM!"
With all of these powerful attacks coming from all directions at once, Dorothy remained calm and closed her eyes. The Chibi-Viruses giggled deviously once their attacks were coming closer to hitting their target. She immediately flashed her eyes upon and puts up a red barrier around herself. The attacks dispersed against the barrier. Now, Dorothy was starting to laugh but in a rather an evil manner.
"It's sad. I fought some of your brothers when we were dealing with Lamiamon. I must say you guys, even with Millenniumon's powers, are still no match for me. I guess you guys are unaware of what I used to be in my previous life. Let's just say that spread fear even amongst the Digi-Destined and their allies. Now, you guys will experience that same fear first hand."
As she said, her hands became coated with red ki energy. She brings her hands forward and prepares to launch an assault on the frightened Chibi-Viruses.
"That's it. That's the look, my dear little friends. Experience fear first hand. Heh. Heh."
Stadium Interdimension
Battling across the heavens was the Milleniumon-powered Burizalor and Ultima X. The overlord threw out an energy blast and directly shot it forward. The fused warrior out a hand out and slapped the projectile away in time. Burizalor shoot himself across and quickly phases out from sight. There was a sudden pause for a few moments until Burizalor reappears above Ultima X.
(Play Star Wars Episode 1 theme The Battle Rages On)
"DEATH WAVE!"
Burizalor uses two fingers and creates a powerful wave projectile, which struck Ultima X head on. The warrior attempted to block it out but it was too much for him to withstand. Ultima X was sent plummeting down to the surface. Fortunately, Ultima X landed on his feet swiftly and looked up at his enemy.
"You're a persistent one, Daisuke. Nothing seems to bring you down to your knees."
"I'm not the type of give up that easily."
"Yes, the goggle heads are always the stubborn types. I agree. You leave me no choice but to end this quick before you have a chance to regain your strength."
With that said, Burizalor's wings spread out and he takes flight across the skies. The warrior stood his ground and questioned the overlord's tactics. Burizalor points his finger and shoots out a beam. Rather than blast Ultima X, he shot the ground and immediately was carving out a circle around where Ultima X was standing.
"What is he doing?! He's not even bothering to fight me anymore. I don't like the looks of this!"
"Now! Here's a technique that I've picked up while Millenniumon bestowed upon me great power. DEATH ALCHEMY!"
"What?!"
Suddenly, the circle around Ultima X started to tremble and a dark column of light emerged from out of the ground. Ultima X was too late from maneuvering away plus the circle Burizalor created put up a barrier to trap the warrior from within. Once the dark light column engulfed Ultima X, he screamed out horribly before his body started to break down. He defused back into Veemon and Davis. With the smoke clearing, Burizalor levitated down to check on the damage he left. A smile forms on his face as soon as he found Davis and Veemon buried underneath sand.
(End theme)
"Well, so much for being a worthy opponent. Bless you, Millenniumon. With your help, I was able to redeem myself and crush this insect. Now, I shall go and finish off those other two weaklings. Today marks the beginning of the end of the Digi-Destined! One goggle head down, three more to go."
As Burizalor started taking off into the air, Davis and Veemon were still left unconscious under the sand. Even Ultima X couldn't withstand a devastating assault of a Millenniumon-possessed Burizalor.
"Davis… Davis… Wake up… It's not over yet…"
"Who's that?"
"Heh. Don't tell me you've already forgotten about me already."
"… Is that you? Ichijouji?"
"Yes, in spirit."
"Ken… I don't look too hot right now. That creep easily blew me off with an attack. Millenniumon really pumped Burizalor with some kind of super steroids."
"Which is why I cam here to help you. My body may not be alive, but my spirit resides within you, old friend."
"Tell me what I can do to recover…"
"Very well…"
Interdimension Desert
Mystic Celesta kneeled beside TK and Patamon with tears in her eyes. She had managed to feel a heartbeat from TK despite nearly being killed by Virus' assault.
"I'm glad you're able to pull through. Oh, TK. I don't know how I could live if you were to die again. But, don't worry. I've already taken care of the problem."
Just as Mystic Celesta took her husband's hand, a sword came shooting down from out of nowhere and pierced right through her chest. She remained frozen in shock for a few moments before collapsing onto the ground. Not a single word or scream was uttered from out of her mouth. She didn't even have time to react since she was solely worried for her lover. The female warrior's power rapidly decreased and resulted her to separate back into her two forms. Now, Kari and Gatomon were found lying across the sand alongside TK and Patamon.
"My, my. Isn't this quite touching? A Kodak moment worth remembering."
Virus levitated over the fallen lovers of Hope of Light. A sick, twisted grin formed across his face at the sheer pleasure of Hikari defeated by his hands.
"You should kept your eye on me and not worry about your dear husband, Hikari. I thought you would learn better by now, but you're still that hopeless child that doesn't have the stomach to lay waste to an enemy. You brought this upon yourself, Hikari. Much like Takeru before, I will send you to a place where you will forever be most comfortable… your own grave."
With that said, Virus pointed a finger over his head and was gathering an large portion of dark energy. He was charging up for the Death Ball technique, which was an old favorite of Burizalor. His grin grew even wider once he made eye contact with Hikari and Takeru's fallen forms.
"Light. Hope. Prepare yourselves. For darkness and despair shall overcome your dreams. Once I've taken you out of the game, then I shall focus on Dorothy and that pitiful girl. After that, I'm going to sit back and watch the lightshow when the Synisters consume your pathetic world. Taichi! There's no hope for you anymore! Humankind will be just another footnote in history. Oh, Millenniumon. How should I be thankful to you? I shall redeem myself of the humiliation I suffered at the hands of this wench! SAYANORA, HIKARI!"
Outside Demon's Cavern
While standing guard outside the tunnel, Sonja stopped for an immediate moment as she felt her heart beating rapidly. She placed a hand over her chest and became very uneasy.
"What's wrong? Something you ate?" Impmon asked.
"I just suddenly felt my heart beat just now. My conscience is suddenly telling me that I help Davis. He could be in trouble!"
"Now, now. Those guys should be fine. They're ready to enter… Oh right. I never even considered the fact that Saitou could a tough opponent."
"No, it has nothing to do with Saitou, Shintomon. It's… All I know is that Davis needs my help!"
With that said, the artificial woman leaps out of the hovercraft and rushed into the cavern.
"Sonja! Wait! Don't go just yet!"
"I'm sorry! But if my husband is in danger, then I have to be there for him. Besides, he would do the same for me. He helped pull me through my grief over the loss of my brother."
"Hell, if you're going, I might as well get some good exercise in," Impmon said. "Shintomon. You can take over our post, kapeesh?"
"Hey, wait a minute! You're implying that I stay here and baby sit Kazu, Kenta and Suzie?! Not to mention looking after this Spell caster's body?!"
"That's right!" the duo exclaimed.
With that said, Sonja and Impmon rushed through inside the cavern. The higher digimon sat down on the hovercraft hood top and looks up into the night stars above.
"How did I get myself stuck in this mess? Taichi. Yamato. I hope you two manage to defeat that monster soon. We only have very little time left."
Dashing across through the caverns, Sonja was sprinting like never before. Nothing was going to stop her from finding Davis and saving him from certain doom. Impmon could barely catch up with her.
"Hey, lady! Why don't you slow down for the little people?!"
"Sorry, but you're just going to go by your own instincts. I'm going by mine and I feel Davis' pain. He needs me!"
"No offense but I'm not feeling out on their- well, whatever the hell you call it."
"Ki."
"Right. How come I can't sense that from you, lady?"
"It's a long story, Impmon. There's no time for that now."
Just before they reached the spot where Davis' group was sucked in through the portals, Sonja made an immediate spot and examined the spot. Catching his breath, Impmon stopped beside the cavern wall and wiped beads of sweat from his forehead.
"Why are we stopping here?"
"They were last seen here."
"Huh? Last seen here? You mean they were just here before going into that whacko's lair?"
"No, they aren't even in the caverns anymore."
"You're losing me."
"They aren't here. My guess was that a portal sucked them in. It makes sense. If that's the case, Saitou's pretty good at stalling more time. But, the question is: Where were they transported?"
"Or maybe they fled out of here through some backdoor like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off…"
Before Impmon had a chance to finish, the female artificial snatched him by his bandana with one hand and strangles him. Her face contorted with a usual angry, scary female gesture.
"What was that?! What did you say?!"
"Um… ACK! Nothing."
"If you ever say anything about Davis again, I'll take my frustrations out on you! You got that?!"
Sonja tosses the rookie down onto the ground and snorted to herself. Suddenly, the two portals, which sucked Davis' group through, appeared before them. Both doorways opened and started to pull the two in. Impmon screamed out like a wailing child as he tried to hang onto a rock slab. However, Sonja had other plans. She was standing out in front of the doorway to the right.
"HEY! JUST WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LADY?! YOU'RE GOING TO GET SUCKED!"
"That's the whole point. Davis is inside the right doorway. I'm going in. He needs me and I have a feeling the enemy he's possibly facing is too much for him to take."
"What makes you think you can make a difference?!"
"I have to try at least. Impmon, why don't you quit babbling and make a difference. I'm sure the others could use your assistance."
"Through the other doorway?"
"That's right. Well, I'm off, Impmon. Wish me luck."
"WAIT!"
Without replying back to the viral rookie, the raven-haired woman jumps through the portal to be transported to the interdimensional stadium world. Impmon had second thoughts but remembered Ai and Makoto.
"Ugh! I'm not about to let any bastards rampage this world! Not when I have Ai and Makoto still around to support! I'm doing this for them! Move over dimension, the King of the World is coming through! GERANIMO!"
Hollering a loud tarzan cry, Impmon released his grip on the rock slab and goes flying through the left doorway. With both Impmon and Sonja gone, the portals quickly closed up. Now, they were willing to lend a hand to their comrades against the villainous duo. Sonja set out to not only offer assistance against Burizalor but also to aid her husband. Impmon was getting ready for perhaps his greatest challenge. Could even Beelzebumon stand a chance against Virus? Only Ai and Makoto could hope to motivate the viral rookie further.
Back at the ground zero battle with Doomsdramon
Basked in their golden light glory, Omega X and Metalla X kept their eye on Doomsdramon like hungry wolves. No pun-intended to Metalla X. The warrior of courage looks over to Metalla X to directly ask him.
"So, what do you say? Shall we get him, Matt?"
"Tai, you must know it, too."
"What are you talking about?"
"There isn't a chance in hell we're going to win like this. Not in our current forms individually. Now that he's absorbed the digicores, he's gained more power and holds the advantage over us."
Omega X took another look at Doomsdramon and read through on his current ki. It was still overwhelmingly powerful to say the least.
"Yeah, it's all coming from his digicores. But we still have to go through with this, Matt."
"That settles it then. Here's my plan. We're going to be using the Digital Fusion technique, Tai."
"What?!"
"You heard me right, Tai. Remember the crap I had to go through when you taught me the fusion dance? Well, I said I now want to go through with it. Hurry up and get ready!"
"What?! You want to do the fusion dance, Matt?! Really?!"
"You guys! They're going for it! The same technique TK and Davis used before," Gallantmon informed everyone.
"You mean they're actually going for it?!" asked Sora.
"The digital fusion dance perfected by the Repoids?!" Pikkan exclaimed. "Only a few have managed to successfully perfect."
"I hope Matt knows what he's doing because this could very well our best last shot of beating this bastard," BW said.
"I'm placing a bet that we'll be seeing either a supped-up Omnimon or an even greater force at hand. Whatever it maybe, I hope it's enough to bring down Doomsdramon."
With Metalla X returning to Omega X's aid, he has requested that he perform the fusion technique with himself and his former rival. But, a digital fusion between two Super level four warriors?! However, if this is successful, then the ultimate fusion warrior will be born. Could we be seeing the supped-up version of Omnimon or an even greater force?!
Meanwhile, Burizalor and Virus have buried their enemies after gaining more power through the dark god, Millenniumon. Burizalor prepares to finish off Mega Gargomon and Keke while Davis and Veemon are left lying. Can Ken's spirit and Sonja bring Ultima X back in the game? Will Impmon make it time to save Hikari and Takeru from being obliterated by Virus' Death Ball? Only about thirty-five minutes remain until the tunnel completes. Saitou is still waiting in the wings.
(Digimon Frontier second ending theme "an Endless Tale")
(Preview)
Tai/Omega X: Hiyas, everyone! It's me, Tai! Just wait until you get a load of Matt and myself when we perform the fusion dance at our strongest levels! A Super level four fused warrior!
Matt/Metalla X: This is our last shot! If this is successful, we'll make even Omnimon look like an ant in comparison.
Gallantmon: Doomsdramon's been gaining the upperhand since absorbing the digicores. If we hope to save Max, we have to go through this guy first!
Doomsdramon: No matter what, I'll still destroy you, warriors! I am the supreme monster with all the power of the shadow beasts!
Omega X & Metalla X: FUSION HA!
Izzy: Prodigious! They've fused to an even greater entity than either Omnimon or Kaiser X! Just call him…
Voice: Just call me, Super 4 Kaiser X.
Sonja: Davis! I've arrived! You have to get back in the game and stop Burizalor. Together, we can win.
Davis/Ultima X: Babe… You're right! I'm through with this guy! Thanks to you and Ken's spirit, I'm still alive and ready to kick that bastard's ass!
Burizalor: But, how?! How have you recovered?!
Ultima X: While Sonja aids Mega Gargomon and Keke, I deal with Burizalor. Not to mention that Burizalor has summoned forth his clones in order to destroy and infect my friends! I won't let you succeed, Burizalor!
Virus: Whom do they call you, stranger?
Beelzebumon: Your worst nightmare.
Rei: Hey, why is my pendant glowing?! It's shining off some mysterious light!
Gatomon: Whatever it is, it's restoring our digital fusion powers!
Patamon: Yes! This is just what we needed!
Mystic Celesta: Takeru. We're back in the fight. Beelzebumon isn't going to last much longer at this rate!
War Angemon: This is your final stand, Virus!
Virus & Burizalor: You digi-fools will not win!
Ultima X: We beg to differ!
Kaiser X: What's the matter, Doomsdramon? Is that fear I see upon your face? I don't blame you. Your wave of destruction ends here by my hand.
Dimitri: Be sure to check out this kick ass chapter entitled…
Digital Fusion Shinka! The Ultimate Super Kaiser X!
Max: Finally, they've managed to arrive!
Saitou: Just in time before my movie ended.
At last, we finally get down to the final kick ass battles before the showdown in the caverns. We get three awesome fights rolled up into one chapter next time. For the first time since the D-Reaper saga, you get to see Kaiser X back in action and better than before! Super 4 Kaiser X is dedicated solely to Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, who just recently had his debut on TV two weeks ago. At least in the States, that is. ((wink)) The next chapter could very well spell the final stand for both Virus and Burizalor. A lot will go down next time and this is just leading up to the eventual second round between Tai and Saitou in the caverns.
Don't forget that Millenniumon myself has yet to show up but give it time. Just let all these conflicts boil down until everything is settled. Until then, be sure to check back for the next exciting chapter. Peace!

Yo, what's up my loyal fic readers?! This is the second update for the 2005 year! Well, the last time I left off, we were prepared to get a dose of some Digital Fusion-Fusion action. Now, you'll get to see Kaiser X back in action since the D-Reaper Saga. We'll just see how well he performs against the almighty Doomsdramon. Besides, this Kaiser X will be in the fourth stage level. So, he should be more than enough for the final monster. At last, we just may see the final stand of Virus and Burizalor if our heroes manage to rebound from their defeats.
Well, that's enough out of me. Let's get on with this once in a lifetime chapter! There will be plenty of action to go. I hope you guys get a kick out of it. Enjoy!
During the last battle, Doomsdramon, who had just absorbed the negative energy from the seven digicore pieces, had assumed his strongest and most powerful final form. He clearly defeated all of the digital warriors from the battlefield, including Omega X! Just before Omega X was preparing for a suicide attack, Metalla X escaped from Demon's Cavern to arrive at the nick of time. He successfully managed to stop Omega X from a tight pinch. Metalla X had a scheme up his sleeve, which could very well provide a perfect way of defeating Doomsdramon.
"We're going to undergo Digital Fusion, Taichi"
"What?"
"I said I would undergo the Digital Fusion with you. Just think Metalla X and Omega X merging together to form the ultimate being. Hurry and get ready!"
Can they pull off the Digital Fusion before Doomsdramon can even consider attacking beforehand? Will we see the return of Kaiser X in battle? Only one way to find out…
Meanwhile, Davis' teams split up into two groups to enter two dimensional portals. One of which transported Davis, Veemon, Keke, Henry and Terriermon into a stadium. There they faced off with Burizalor. In the other dimensional world, Kari, Gatomon, TK, Patamon, Dorothy and Rei Saiba become acquianted by Virus. The two super villains proved to be more powerful than ever before. With the dark influence of Millenniumon's essence coursing through them, Virus and Burizalor managed to crush their foes. Majin Burizalor easily managed to take out Ultima X with relative ease. Majin Virus brought down Mystic Celesta and War Angemon. Now, Sonja and Impmon set off into the caverns to enter through the portals in order to save their friends. Can they make it in time?
Only half an hour remain before the tunnel to the Dark Realm opens. Will our heroes defeats these three enemies at once before they set off to rescue Max from Saitou?

Digital Fusion Shinka! The Ultimate Super Kaiser X!
Interdimensional Desert
Once transported through the doorway, the tiny imp was found lying across the desert sands. He slowly rose up and dusted himself off.
"Ack! Just where in good digimon's name am I? Doesn't look like I'm in Kansas anymore…"
Impmon was standing at the center of a desert landscape with barely any life. The sun in the background radiated strong sunrays across the sands and scorched them. Impmon winced from the sand heat and picked up each foot at a time.
"Yeow! It's almost like an oven in here. Say, last time I remember… I was in that cave. Then I got sucked in through a portal. Now, here I am."
Walking across the sands, Impmon wiped his forehead and felt his tongue beginning to dry up.
"If only there was a stream of water or even a soda machine. I need some damn fluids! Oh well. I wonder if Sonja was able to find her husband already. Ack, who am I kidding? That's not my problem. I should be getting the heck out of here. Why did I even bother to follow her? Maybe, it was by instinct. Maybe I'll realize that I serve a purpose in this mission. I could finally see some action!"
Then, just as he said that, he heard a loud pair of explosions across the background. A force of strong winds blew against the sands and knocked Impmon back a few feet across.
"Whoa! What was that just now?! I'm feeling some pretty strong vibes from beyond those sands!"
Impmon crawled across the sand and poked his head over to see more explosions sailing across the heavens. He was already picking up a pair of kis and a wide grin forms across his pasty face.
"Yes! I just got my wish! A fight is just what I needed! Though, these guys seem stronger than I am. But who says I can't jump in there and have a chance to kick some ass? Here goes! Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to reacquainting you once again with the greatest digimon to walk two worlds!"
With that said, Impmon's body was engulfed by a bright golden aura and he grew up to a tall human-like figure.
"Impmon mega shinka!"
The man was now wearing a black biker's attire with a vest covering his chest. His face was hidden underneath a mask and his face was pale. His red bandana was wrapped around his left arm. His limbs are long yet skinny. Long, sharp claws extracted through his hands. Sprouting from his back was a pair of black angel-like wings. Sections of his body were covered by metal platting, including some on his shins, feet and elbows. His eyes revealed to be emerald green rather than their former demonic red. The bad demonic biker was back and better than ever.
"Beelzebumon!"
While getting accustomed to his mega form, he turned his head to feel out a pair of dying kis from a far distance. These kis had belonged to both War Angemon and Mystic Celesta. In his mega form, Beelzebumon can easily pick up on energy signals rather than in his rookie form.
"Whoa! Where those kis I'm sensing from Takeru and Hikari just now?! Whoever did that to them, especially Hikari, must be awesome! I better check this out."
Beelzebumon's wings spread out and helped him glide off into the air above. Stopping at mid-air, Beelzebumon pointed out to the eastern direction.
"There. That's where I last sensed them. Ok, boys and girls! Beelzebumon's back in the game!"
The winged demon powered up and took off into the far distance. However, what he doesn't realize that the enemy he would be facing is more powerful than he has ever been. This is Beelzebumon's chance to finally battle the evil artificial Virus. However, would he be more than enough to help TK and Kari before they meet their demise?
Miles away from where Beelzebumon was last seen
Dorothy was still having her way with the Chibi-Viruses and simply dominated them. She had already killed one and was preparing to deliver the finishing blow to another. A fallen Chibi-Virus struggled underneath the girl's feet.
"Going somewhere, my little blue friend?" Dorothy said with an evil smirk.
"Ek! Ki! Ki!"
"What was that just now? You want me to spare you? I'm sorry. That doesn't compute well with me. Though, I have a suggestion for you."
"Ki?"
"Death for you!"
Dorothy snatches up the Chibi-Virus and punches a hand right through its chest. In her hand was the little imp's heart and she easily crushes it. His blood oozed across her hand and she finished off the dying creature with a spinning kick through its neck. It's decapitated form fell across the dirt with blood spewing from its neck lump.
"Anybody next? I'll be more than happy to rip your hearts out next, little bastards," Dorothy said with an innocent glee.
The Chibi-Viruses did not buy into her innocent act and started to fly across from the site. Rei watches from behind a cliff to see the Chibi-Viruses making their escape getaway.
"Dororthy's great. These little guys are running away. She must possess some great power," Rei whispered.
Suddenly, a Chibi-Virus noticed Rei coming out from her hiding spot and flew down towards her like a hungry predator. Dorothy saw through to the imp's tactic and stops in front of him.
"Rei! Get away from here now! I'll cut this guy off!"
"Ok!"
With Rei making her way through some rocks, Dorothy puts up a ki aura and prepares to go another round with the Chibi-Viruses again.
"These guys just won't quit. They know they can't defeat me altogether. They're just buying time for their father to finish off Hikari and Takeru."
"Ki! Ki!"
"Shut the hell up, you little brat! I was just-"
Suddenly, Dorothy felt a strong energy signal from the eastern direction. It felt very familiar and she immediately figured out the identity behind the energy ki.
"Beelzebumon?! How in the- Well, it doesn't matter. He's come just at about the right time. He can help Hikari and Takeru while I take care of these little monsters. Thanks again, Beelzebumon."
The Chibi-Viruses gathered together once again. They flew out from all directions to attack Dorothy at once. Knowing the imps were merely distractions, the former D-Reaper would have to end his quickly and efficiently. Soon after, she would reunite with her allies to put a stop to Virus' wrath.
Interdimensional Stadium
Walking through the entrance of the abandoned stadium, the raven-haired artificial woman stopped to sense numerous ki signals. One of which was dying while the other was growing at an extraordinary rate. She immediately figured out that the dying power was coming from her own husband.
"Davis! I had a feeling you'd be in trouble!" Sonja said. "Hang in there!"
Bursting out through some gates, she arrived just in time to find Davis and Veemon lying on the ground. Sonja lets out a worried gasp and rushes over to their side. She lifted Davis up and placed his head on her lap.
"Davis! Veemon! What just happened here?! Tell me!"
Not getting anything from out of Davis' mouth, Sonja had assumed her husband and his digimon were unconscious. They still had heartbeats but barely were exhaling. Deep within Davis' thoughts, he was struggling to regain his consciousness. He found himself speaking through Ken's spirit through his mind.
"Ken… I'm glad you're back with me in spirit. But, really… How am I able to beat this guy? He defeated me as Ultima X. That's the best I can do."
"That's not the Davis I remember. The Davis I knew would never give up and call it quits. You would continue on until either you or your opponent dies. Davis, you said you are my greatest friend. I admire you for your courage. Your determination. Your heart. That's the Davis I've come to call my friend for the last few years."
"Ken… You're right. I just didn't know what to think. I mean this is second time I've fought Burizalor. Last time he was no push over. With Millenniumon's power coursing through him, he's nearly invincible."
"That still won't stop you, will it?"
"Of course not! Nothing's holding me back from sending that monster back where he belongs!"
"Thank you for taking care of my body. Soon, I will be back. But for now, you have a world to save. Good luck, my friend… I'll never forget the day we became friends."
With that said, Ken's spirital image faded and his voice trailed off. Davis immediately woke up from his comatose state and looked up to find Sonja looming over him. Veemon was also back on his feet while rubbing his head.
"Davis! You're all right!"
"Huh…? Sonja? How did you…?"
"That's not important right now. What matters is that you're alive."
Davis sits up from the ground and looks up to find a familiar winged figure in the rafters. His crimson eyes stared down upon the couple.
"He's onto us!" Veemon said.
"Ha! I don't know how you managed to recover from that, Daisuke. But I'll be sure to finish you where I left off!" Burizalor laughed in the background.
"Not with me around, you bastard," Sonja growled. "Davis. Let's fight him together. If we don't stop him, then he's going to enter into our world. I'll never forgive myself if he manages to get to David."
"That won't happen. I promise you that, babe. Burizalor! What do you say you fight both of us?!"
"Pretty unfair if you ask me. However, I couldn't help but notice your wife. She is quite the looker…"
"Keep your eyes off of her, you sicko."
"No, I'm not interested in her in that sort of way. I want to see if she's able to survive an onslaught with some friends of mine."
"You have friends? Get out of here! No one would ever consider you a friend!" Veemon retorted.
"Actually, these friends would really love to be acquainted with you."
"I've heard enough! Veemon! Now!"
(Play Digimon Zero Two theme Beat Hit!)
"Veemon! FUSION SHINKA!"
Davis and Veemon were immediately merged together as they evolved into their fused warrior form. He emerges as a well-built warrior with powerful ki emitting from his body. His body is purely dark blue with a chiseled form. Parts of his newly developed body had armor, which covered his chest, arms and shoulders. His face was similar to Xveemon but with a few of Davis' facial features. The fused fighter throws out a few punches with rapid speed.
"MEGA VEEMON!"
"Hmph, again with this repetitive crap?" Burizalor sighed.
"Let's make this hasty, Davis," Sonja suggested. "I doubt he'll have the patience."
"Ok! Time to turn this up a notch! Mega Veemon MODE CHANGE!"
The fused warrior underwent his transformation with everyone looking on. His body became encased in white armor similar to Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. His arms and legs became built for battle with claws scathed out. His face was covered in armor and encased with a visor over his eyes. An enormous sword blade materialized in front of the warrior. He takes it and unsheathes the sword to reveal a long-tipped blade. On his back was a pair of glider wings that were longer in wingspan than an albatross. The new Mega Veemon's form was streaking with streaks of lighting.
"ULTIMA X!"
Sonja looked across at her husband up close and smiled.
"Now that's the Davis I love."
"Excellent. Now that you've been restored back to full power. What do you say we continue where we left off?" the overlord said.
"How about I shove my sword right up your skull?!" Ultima X threatened.
"Go ahead and try, my friend. But the best part about me is that there are so many 'mes'."
"Davis, what does he mean by that?" Sonja wondered.
"Don't know and don't care."
However, their questions were soon answered once all the doors within the stadium opened up. The army of Burizalor clones emerged with sadistic grins. Sonja and Ultima X braced themselves for the onslaught that was soon to come.
"See, Daisuke? I do have friends after all!"
"Talk about being self centered. You cloned yourself?!"
"Yes. Down in limbo, Dr. Myuumon and Datamon gave me a new technique. That would be the viral clone technique. Once I jam any hand through my victim, I infect them with a virus, reform their data code and in turn create a duplicate of myself. Quite a handy trick, don't you agree?"
"If you mean by cheating, then yeah. I agree."
"Come now, Daisuke. All I want to know is if you and your beautiful wife can survive this. If you can, then you're worthy of facing me. Then again, I could just make a clone out of your wife and we could really make things more interesting."
"That's not going to happen, Burizalor. I'll see to it that you die by my hand!"
"I'll see to it that you two are exterminated. My clones! Attack them and show no mercy!"

With that said, the Burizalor clones flew out at once across the stadium's center. Ultima X immediately threw out a ki barrier to send the clones flying across the arena. He and Sonja took advantage of their adversaries. Ultima X pulls out his sword and slashes through several clones at once. Sonja runs across and fires an energy blast through her hands to knock down five Burizalor clones at once.
"Ultima Blast!"
"Power Blitz!"
"Impressive. To think that such a woman can take down my clones. Daisuke. You've handpicked quite a strong mistress."
Ignoring the overlord's taunts, Ultima X raised his sword and slammed it against the ground to create an aftershock force to send the Burizalor clones scattering. The clones gathered together and fired an array of ki blasts directly at Ultima X. The warrior takes hold of his sword and swung it forward. The force was enough to send the clones flying across the battlefield.
"Don't tell me that's the best you've got?!" Ultima X exclaimed.
Sonja takes off into the air with a group of Burizalor clones following her out. She turns to face them and puts out two hands forming two energy balls. She puts her hands forward and unleashes a devastating beam to knock the clones away effortlessly.
"So, they once called you the might warlord that once scared the digital universe?" Sonja sighed. "How the mighty have fallen… Even ten of you couldn't hope to defeat a woman like myself. How sad for you."
"On the contrary, little lady. Can you handle the true me?" the real Burizalor emerged out of the rafters.
The winged overlord landed with his wings spread across his back. Burizalor stepped across with the other clones bowing before him.
"Nice little fan club you've got here, Burizalor," Sonja said with sarcasm in her tone.
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. Now, did I just hear you could defeat ten of me at once? Well, those clones each possessed power levels from a time where I was considered a weakling in your view. In this form, I can easily crush you under the power Millenniumon has bestowed upon me."
"Keep telling yourself that, ass. You only defeated Davis you caught him off guard with this new power of yours. I won't easily be done in. Now, prepare yourself!"
"Have it your way, miss. But, what you need to do first is watch your back…"
Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, Burizalor vanished out from sight and caught Sonja completely off guard. She looked around in search of the real Burizalor. Ultima X shifted his focus across and gasped when he saw Burizalor reappearing behind Sonja.
"Babe! Behind you!"
Before she had a chance to turn, Burizalor snatched her by the neck and held her tightly up with one hand. Ultima X angrily plowed his way through the clones effortlessly with eyes fueled with anger. Burizalor howled and threw out a ki shield to knock Ultima X.

"SONJA! LET HER GO, BURIZALOR!"
"Tell me. Just how much do you love your woman, Daisuke? Enough for you to give up your own life to save her?"
"You let her go!"
Burizalor had a slight grin on his face and licked Sonja's face. She winced and struggled to break free from the overlord's grip. Just then, Burizalor had a flashback from when he killed Sora before Tai's very own eyes. Yes, he remembered it and wouldn't forget how that single moment triggered to the birth of Omega X. A sinister thought was crossing his mind.
"Now where have I seen this before? Oh yesss… It was long time ago. I remember! There was me, Sora and Taichi in one historic spot."
"No… Don't you think about doing it, Burizalor."
"Yes, only it will be much sweeter to kill this girl than Sora. Daisuke. Watch veeery closely! Ha! Ha!"
Just before Burizalor reached down to implement his next move, Sonja formed an energy ball and blasted it across Burizalor's face. The overlord screamed out while being blinded by the blast. He thrashed about with his hands covering his eyes. Sonja jumps up and spin kicks the overlord in the stomach.
(Play Godsmack Going Down)
"Sorry, asshole. But I'm not as helpless as you think! Unfortunately, I won't be playing the role of Sora in your sick and twisted game."
"Yeah. If I recall, didn't that lead up to Tai becoming Omega X and kicking you around like a little bitch?" Ultima X reminded the overlord.
"I don't need to be reminded of… THAT!"
Burizalor screamed out and formed a dark aura around his body. He swiftly flies out across and slams a knee right into Sonja. Followed by that, he put up his fists and delivered a barrage of fists into Sonja, similar to Lucemon's Paradise Lost Punch. Ultima X flies out to prevent Burizalor from continuing his assault but he was too late. Burizalor had already delivered an uppercut to send Sonja sailing across the top of the rafters. He flew up, grabbed Sonja and delivers a pile driver from a high altitude. Ultima X looked on with horror at the sight of the massive crater created from his wife's fall. He looks down to see Sonja laid out and showing no signs of consciousness.
"NO! SONJA!"
The overlord's laughter echoed, which was enough to push Ultima X over the edge.
"Isn't that just sad? You could have stopped me and saved her. Pity how you just stood there and couldn't do anything. What was holding you back? Fear? I know I've done an excellent job spreading fear to my victims. You are no different, Daisuke."
"You… bastard… You've passed me too far… How can you be proud of this?!"
"It's a shame that impact didn't kill her. Looks like I still have plenty of work left to do."
Before Burizalor had a chance to turn around, he felt something grab his arm. Ultima X had suddenly appeared at his side with a tight grip on the overlord's arm.
"What's the meaning of this?!"
"YOU… You're going to pay dearly for what you've done to my wife! Now you've given me a good reason to kill you!"
Ultima X looks around at the Burizalor clones and gives them an evil glare. Then he sets his sights on his fallen wife. Simply by looking down at his wife, Ultima X felt an increase of ki rising and Burizalor knew very well that he shouldn't allow his adversary to increase his power further.
"LET ME GO!"
"Like hell I will! Today you officially die, Burizalor!"
"Bah! I'd like to see you try!"
With a swift maneuver, Ultima X phases out from Burizalor's sight. The clones were even caught by surprise and searched their surroundings. The real Burizalor turned and was met with a fist across his face. The warrior's fist was enough to send Burizalor sailing across the stadium and through a horde of his own clones. The overlord sits up with a huge dent mark across his left cheek.
"DAMN YOU!"
Ultima X ignored the villain's foul language and walked down into the crater. He scooped up Sonja into his arms. Burizalor shakes himself off and looks across to see Ultima X levitating with an enraged glare.
"Daisuke. You are such a fool. Did you forget that your other friends are still within this stadium?"
"Yeah. I was just going to bring that up," Ultima X said. "Take a look behind you."
"WHAT?!"
With that said, Burizalor turned around and gasped to see what he didn't expect to see. Mega Gargomon walked out with a handful of Cultivarmon beaten to a pulp and Keke on top of his head.
"They survived my Cultivarmon?!"
"You've underestimated us, Burizalor. Now you're going to learn the hard way," Ultima X said. "Since you nearly killed Sonja, I'll take the pleasure in ending your pathetic life."
"Insolent cur! I, Burizalor, shall not die by your hand! I will not be humiliated again!"
"It's sad that you'll never change your ways, Burizalor. Tai gave you a chance to redeem yourself, but you only want to come back to kill to your heart's content. Prepare yourself, Burizalor. This is it. Your last stand…"
"No, I see it more of the opposite. All of you shall become apart of me once I infect you with my virus and all of you become my latest additions to my clone army."
(End theme)
Ultima X sets Sonja's unconscious form on the ground and powers up with a bright aura. He lets out a loud cry before flying across at Burizalor.
"Yes! Come get a dose of my viral infection! For you shall become apart of me, Daisuke!"
"I doubt that!"
Burizalor throws out an energy blast across but watched as Ultima X easily maneuvered away from it. He turns around to another corner and gets met with a fist to his gut. The force was not just enough to knock the breathe out of him but forced him to spit out a load of blood.
"No. It ends for you, Burizalor!"
Ground zero site of the current Doomsdramon battle
Back at the battle site where the battle with the final monster was set to take place, a face off was taking place with three individuals. Levitating in the heavens on the left side were Omega X and Metalla X, whom both were currently at their Super level four peaks. Doomsdramon grins while examining the two warriors thoroughly. He knew that he had the clear advantage over the duo and he has the seven digicore pieces with him to contain his reserved powers.
Looking down from the ground were Crimson Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon, Cyberleomon, BW, Pikkan and Sakuyamon. Behind them were Zoe, Kouichi, J.P., Tommy, Sora, Phoenixmon, Izzy, Hercules Kabuterimon, Dimitri, Mimi, Rosemon, Mummymon, Arukenimon, Black Gatomon, Jeri, Calumon, Joe, Gomamon, Cody and Armadillomon. It was basically a large crowd to have front row seats to witness the saviors of the planet putting their lives at risk to defeat the overwhelmingly powerful evil beast.
"Did he just say Digital Fusion?!" JP asked.
"That he said, JP," Gallantmon said.
"Wow, that sounds so cool. Two digital warriors combining together!" Zoe stated.
"That's nothing new," added Izzy. "Omnimon was born out from War Greymon and Metal Garurumon. That was a fusion between the two mega digimon."
"Plus, we've seen Metalla X and Omega X merge together before," Sora answered. "They formed Kaiser X with Gosenzomon's fusion earrings. This time they don't have fusion earrings to rely on."
"You're forgetting the fusion dance," Pikkan said. "They're going to pull it off and merge together. We saw TK and Davis demonstrate this before their battle against the D-Reaper."
"In fact, it's just like your spirits merging together to form Susanoomon!" BW said to the legendary warrior children.
"Well, that's nothing too surprising," Tommy said. "But I wonder what kind of result we'll be getting from those two."
"At their current power statuses, I'd shudder to think what kind of unlimited powers they could possess. A level four fused digital being? I doubt even earth will handle the pressure," said Sakuyamon.
"Well, if anyone can do it. Our husbands will pull it off. Right, Mimi?" Sora asked.
"You got that right! Go get him, guys!"
"So, what do you think, brother?" Kouichi asked Magna Garurumon. "Who has a chance?"
"We won't know until they perform the fusion. This will be quite the treat. Anything is better than letting Doomsdramon have his way with us."
"I'm with you there. C'mon, Tai. Matt. You two can pull this one off!" Kaiser Greymon muttered.
Back at the wasteland battlefield, the two fused warriors landed down onto the surface. Omega X nodded his head and grinned with delight. He couldn't believe Metalla X had already devised a plan ahead of time and right away.
"Digital Fusion between us again, huh? You're right. We can still do that. Guess you managed to suck in your pride just to go through that dance procedure. Too bad we don't have anymore of Gosenzomon's Gosenzo earrings. Those would have come in handy, Matt."
"Too bad. Oh well, we can pull through with the Digital Fusion dance. However, I doubt this bastard will even give us the time to do it."
Doomsdramon stared down at the duo with a sadistic grin and a drooling mouth. He was ready to consume a large substance and eating the two warriors would please his immediate appetite.
"Idiots. Dumb asses. Don't get carried away with yourselves. I'll be sure to exterminate you, insects. As of now, I won't let you have your way any longer!"
With that said, Doomsdramon powers up with a flaring dark aura encircling his body. He came swooping down upon his prey. The Super level four warrior duo were standing about calmly until Crimson Gallantmon put himself in front of the warrior duo. The knight pulls out his Invincible Swords and was prepared to go on the offensive against the dragon beast.
"Aw, hello no! You're not going to stop him that easily!" Gallantmon cried out. "Kaiser Greymon! Everyone! I might a little help here!"
"Right! Here I come!" cried Kaiser Greymon. "Let's move, Kouji!"
"Right behind you, Takuya!" answered Magna Garurumon.
"Thanks, guys! We're going to need the time to perform the technique!" exclaimed Omega X.
"Let's give them a hand, guys!" Zoe said to her fellow warriors.
"Right!"
(Play Digimon Frontier Evolution theme With the Will)
As soon as the four Chosen Children pulled out their D-Tectors, they slashed them through their hands to become engulfed by streams of data. One by one, each child underwent an evolution into their H/B Hybrid forms.
"EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
"Beetlemon!"
"Zephrymon!"
"Loweemon!"
"Koriikakkumon!"
The four newly evolved digimon sprung towards the battle to join Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon. Meanwhile, Gallantmon was slashing across with his swords at the dragon beast. Much to his dismay, Doomsdramon swiftly dodged each slash without worry. The crimson knight crosses his arms and shoots out a powerful red beam through his chest. The beam struck Doomsdramon headfirst and blinded his eyes momentarily.
"Cheap shot!"
"Now's your chance, guys! Get him while he's incapacitated!"
"You hear that, Matt?"
"I did. Let's get this over with!"
Doomsdramon thrashed about and flew towards Gallantmon. Despite being blinded, he could still sense Gallantmon's overwhelming ki and smacks across the face with his tail. The force from the tail managed to send Gallantmon plummeting down towards the surface.
"Gallantmon!" Sakuyamon cried out.
Doomsdramon turns his attention towards the two level four warriors and bolted down towards them. He held out his hands while gathering enough negative ki to form an energy sphere. Fortunately, he was distracted by an array of attacks from the legendary warriors. He stopped to see Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon leading the charge against him. Kaiser Greymon raised his battle sword and slammed it against Doomsdramon. Next, Magna Garurumon sent out missiles to hold the beast at bay.
"INSECTS!" Doomsdramon roared like the devil himself.
"We might be insects but we sure as heck are going to be more annoying!" Kaiser Greymon retorted. "Now, guys!"
"Plasma Pods!"
"Lighting Blitz!"
"Avalanche Axes!"
"Shadow Meteor!"
The four warriors directed their projectile attacks at the dragon beast. Doomsdramon laughed away at their futile attempts, but this was merely a strategy to stall time for the fused warrior pair.
"C'mon, Tai! Matt! Hurry it up!" BW exclaimed.
"Don't stand there like a bunch of dumbasses! This is your chance!" screamed Pikkan.
"Maybe they decided to stick around to smell the roses," snickered Gomamon.
"This is no time for jokes, buddy," Joe sighed.
Ignoring comments made by their comrades, Omega X and Metalla X remained poised. The legendary warriors were doing everything they can to hold off Doomsdramon. With one incredible energy burst, Doomsdramon flew past the legendary warriors. He directly set his sights on Omega X and Metalla X. Suddenly, both Cyberleomon and Pikkan both phased in front of him. The beast put out a finger and blasted Cyberleomon away.
"Oh no! Leomon!" Jeri exclaimed.
"Bastard! Take this!" roared Pikkan. "Thunder Flash Attack!"
The Alterian sends a powerful electrical-flame blast towards Doomsdramon, who easily managed to dodge it. Cyberleomon regained his senses and sends out a dose of his Justice Fist. Much with Pikkan's attack, Doomsdramon dodged it effortlessly.
"Our shots aren't fast enough to deal a blow into him!" said Cyberleomon. "Damn!"
Doomsdramon saw this as an open opportunity and delivers a vicious double clothesline to knock both warriors away. He turned to find the legendary warriors gaining hom him.
"As I said, you're nothing but insects! Taichi! You and your friend better brace yourselves for death!"
"Tai! What the hell are you doing? You heard them. We should get the fusion over with," Metalla X suggested. "Hurry up and decide!"
Suddenly, Omega X chuckled to himself and managed to catch Metalla X riled up.
"What's so funny?"
"I'm not laughing because of this being funny. I'm just happy to hear that from your own mouth. You'd be the last person on the planet to even suggest fusion with me. Kind of ironic, since you hated the idea of it when I suggested it back inside D-Reaper's body."
"Well, times have changed. This is a real emergency. Now…"
With that said, Metalla X stretched his arms out to his left side. The warrior of courage nodded in satisfaction and leaps to the opposite direction.
"That's fantastic, Matt. Looks like my teaching worked pretty well. Great stance. My turn!"
Omega X stood at the same stance as his former rival and stretched his arms out to the right side. Doomsdramon saw through to their plan and roared out from the heavens.
"NO YOU DON'T!"
However, the beast was stopped at his tracks by the sudden appearance of BW. The dark warrior puts up a ki shield and prepares for anything Doomsdramon has in store for him.
"There's no way I'm going to let you interfere with their fusion, jack ass! HA!"
"Get out of my way, you insect!"
Doomsdramon sends out an energy blast through his hand and sends BW plummeting back down towards the ground surface.
(End theme)
"BW!" Gallantmon called out.
"Tai! Matt! Get it over with! Now! He's coming!" Sora cried out.
"Damn! What if they're too late?!" Dimitri asked.
"They won't," Mummymon said. "At least, I hope so…"
"FUSION!"
The two fused warriors stepped across towards each other at a symmetrical pace. They rotated their arms over while pointing out towards each other horizontally. They stuck their arms out to the opposite directions and then rotated them again. Both warriors tilted towards each other while their fingers touched each other.
"HA!"
(Play Digimon Zero Two Target Akai Shougeki)
A golden sphere of light suddenly engulfed both fused warriors. They became mere silhouettes through the golden aura. With the light spreading across the landscape, Doomsdramon became blinded by its pure radiance. He shrugged off the pain in his eyes and flew off through the golden sphere hesitantly. Everyone else looked on with astonishment. Seconds pass and a loud scream was echoing through the sphere. The group had come to the conclusion that Doomsdramon could have already taken out the warrior duo. However, their hopes came into realization once Doomsdramon was sent hurtling out through the golden light.
"Look! There's Doomsdramon!" Rosemon exclaimed.
"But, Tai and Matt?!" Mimi wondered. "Don't tell they…"
"Negative, these readings I'm picking up from my scanning readings is off the scale! I better shut off my network," Izzy panicked.
"Yes, it's about time that they managed to pull it through," Gallantmon said. "I didn't even get a chance to see them fight as a unified warrior against D-Reaper. This is going to be a treat, Sakuyamon."
"Indeed."
"Brace yourself, everyone. Doomsdramon's finally going to get his," Kaiser Greymon said.
"I wonder. Will this be something like Susanoomon?" Koriikakkumon wondered.
"Doubt it. It's going to be something even bigger. From what I'm sensing, the combined powers of both Metalla X and Omega X surpass even the unified spirit warrior himself," Magna Garurumon stated.
"Incredible. If that's the case, then Doomsdramon is history," Loweemon mused.
Finally, the newly fused warrior slowly emerges out of the golden light to make his grand entrance. A muscular arm covered in fur was exposed along with a boot. Next, the other arm is exposed. Finally, the face is revealed. It didn't even look remotely look like a wolf or even a reptile anymore. It was human in appearance. His eyes were slanted and a smirk formed across his face.
"Whoa! You're kidding me! Their combined power is awesome!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"That's our husbands!" Sora and Mimi cheered in unison.
"Judging the look on Doomsdramon's face, I bet he knows that he might not stand a chance," said Zephrymon.
"Don't forget. We still haven't seen all of Doomsdramon's full strength," Kaiser Greymon announced. "But I'm still placing my bets on Tai and Matt."
"Damn! Who would have thought I would get a chance to see this?" Pikkan said while getting to his feet.
"Wow! That's so cool!" Calumon cooed.
"We missed out on their fusion against D-Reaper, but not this time. Isn't this awesome, Leomon?" Jeri said.
"Yes…"
"Kaiser X… You are once again born," BW whispered. "About time…"
Finally, the unified warrior of courage and friendship emerged through the golden radiance. His upper body was massive and muscular in appearance. Even his arms were muscular. It was covered by patches of silver fur across his arms, around his chest and across his back. A long, prehensile tail twirled behind his back. The symbols of courage and friendship embedded on the chest flesh. His accessories included white pants with a green martial arts belt wrapped around it and a pair of black boots. A pair of yellow shoulder pads covered his shoulders and the sides of his chest. His hair is spiked-up and it was purely black in color. Though, there were tints of silver streaks through his hair. His face had a serious demeanor.
Doomsdramon looks across in shock at the new appearance of the unified warrior.
"What the hell is this?! Who are you?!"
"Who am I? I am neither Taichi nor Yamato. You can call me, Kaiser X. Remember that name well, because it will be the last before I kill you."
With that said, Kaiser X opened his eyes and they were revealed to be heavenly blue with black irises at the center. The unified warrior gave one simple blink from his eyes and sent Doomsdramon sailing across the battlefield. Yes, the dragon beast was pushed back by just an eye blink from the unified warrior. One eye blink and Doomsdramon was pushed away effortlessly.
"OH CRAP! Did you just see that you guys?!" Beetlemon exclaimed.
"He's got him reeling back!" Kaiser Greymon replied.
Even the entire group was speechless. Most of them had gaping mouths and were stunned by the events, which just unfolded.
"Awesome! My dad and Tai's dad just fused together! They're going to kick this punk's ass!" Dimitri mused.
"… Gomamon. You seeing what I'm seeing, pal?"
"If it was Kaiser X just blinking his eyes and sending Doomsdramon flying back like a shot bird, then yeah. I saw it all," Gomamon gulped. "Glad he's on our side."
"So, this is Kaiser X?" Cody said. "I only managed to get a glimpse of him through the Internet when he battled the D-Reaper."
"Yea, Cody. But this is a higher level form of Kaiser X," Armadillomon corrected him. "This Kaiser X makes the previous one look like a joke."
"Damn. If only we could have done that before," Gallantmon said while struggling to get up.
"Well, you did merge with him to perform that Ryu-Ken technique," Sakuyamon replied.
"No, but this unification is more incredible. Just think of how a unified Gallantmon and Omega X would look like. We'd be unstoppable!"
"Hmmm, never thought of that. Too bad you and Tai were too thick-headed to even consider it before when we needed it."
"Hey, we were in a precarious situation. That dragon wouldn't have given us the time! That fusion dance takes too much time and I haven't put in enough practice!"
"Sure… Anyway, Gallantmon. We should focus on the battle at hand."
"Heh. You're right. My bad. Damn, Kaiser X is awesome! Kick his ass, guys!"

(Play Rob Zombie Super Beast)
Back on the battlefield, Kaiser X was remaining still with a golden aura covering his form. Sparkles were becoming more visible through the light radiance. Doomsdramon regained his senses and came flying down to attack the unified warrior once again.
"DAMN YOU! NOW YOU DIE!"
As soon as Doomsdramon extended a fist out, he slammed it against Kaiser X's aura. However, the beast was sent flying back. His fist didn't even make a single contact blow on Kaiser X. As Doomsdramon was sent flying back, he noticed several bruises on his face and blood oozing through his snout. He wipes the blood from his snout and wipes it off from his hand.
Kaiser X spoke up for the first time in nearly five years with the unified voices of both Omega X and Metalla X. He simply gives an arrogant chuckle and nodded his head.
"For you to take only three of my punches and to only receive a bloody nose, well that's something else."
"Only three punches?" Doomsdramon said while stopping himself in mid-air. "What on digi-universes are you talking about?!"
"This time I'll do them slowly. That way you can see a little better," Kaiser X snickered.
"Enough of this bullshit!"
Doomsdramon flew across at Kaiser X and went for another assault. However, Kaiser X simply stood his ground. The beast stopped almost immediately as an invisible force punched him across the face. In slow motion, it was actually fifteen invisible punches driven into his face. Kaiser X gives a quick kick across Doomsdramon's face, which sends the beast sailing across the heavens. Doomsdramon stopped himself in mid-air and looks on angrily.
"Damn him!"
"Now, that's my Tai!" Sora cheered.
"And my Matt!" giggled Mimi.
"For guys who were considered former rivals, they make one godly combination," Hercules Kabuterimon said.
"This will be quick! Once they waste this guy, we'll grab all those digicores and get back to saving Max in no time!" said Dimitri.
Unfortunately, Doomsdramon wasn't looking so hot with bruises covering his once clean face. He trembled with anger building up from within. He wasn't about to let this humiliation go further than it already has.
"Impossible! This can't… This can't happen to me! Not me! Not me!"
The dragon beast flew back down without a single hesitation and opened his mouth to reveal a sharp array of teeth. Kaiser X simply remained calm while standing his ground. Doomsdramon came down with one foot and attempts a flying kick. However, he only managed to plow through an after image of the unified warrior. The beast cursed as he plummeted through a debris pile. Kaiser X reappears at the same exact spot with his arms crossed.
"Just what the hell do you think you're doing, retard?" Kaiser X calls out.
He looks across at the devastating to find Doomsdramon laying on the ground face first. Doomsdramon lifted his heads and growled.
"Quit wasting time, you idiot!"
"I'm a retard…? An idiot?!"
Taking offense to the name-calling insults, Doomsdramon leaps back onto his feet and roared a demonic cry.
"YOU CALL ME AN IDIOT!?"
"That's right. What do you prefer? Idiot or retard? Either way, you're still one of the same."
"Don't get too full of yourself, Kaiser X! You're not all powerful!"
With that said, an array of holes appeared across Doomsdramon's sides. Then came missiles from each hole and they were directed towards Kaiser X.
"APOCALYPSE MISSILES!"
The missiles were aimed directly for Kaiser X and each one slammed against the unified warrior. A worrisome expression was seen across his face with the missiles aimed solely for him.
"Not even you are capable of avoiding these! Die! Die! Die! Die!"
"Ah, crap! He's using those damn missiles again!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "Those things nearly killed us last time!"
"C'mon, Kaiser X! Brace yourself!" Kaiser Greymon called out.
"Even he won't be able to withstand this assault. It will be all over for him," Sakuyamon sighed.
"I wouldn't be so sure just yet," BW said. "This fight won't end with Kaiser X defeated by those missiles."
"Huh? Then what are you saying?" Phoenixmon asked.
"Just wait and see what he does next," Pikkan said.
Doomsdramon resumed his assault on Kaiser X without any hesitation to stop. The missiles were slamming against his body with a combined force.
"DIE, KAISER X! DIE!"
"That's right. Just keeping telling yourself that. You aren't even giving me your all. Your own arrogance will be your own undoing, Doomsdramon," Kaiser X thought.

Interdimensional Desert
Raising his finger over his head, Virus was gathering enough energy for his Death Ball technique. Both Kari and TK were rendered unconscious, as a result of the artificial's sneak attack. Virus was hell bent on eliminating the lovers.
"This is the end for you, Children of Light and Hope. Once I'm through here, I'll return back to earth to finish off your little brats. Nothing will stand in my way of vengeance! Nothing!"
"Oh yeah? What about if I cut in?"
"Who-"
Within a matter of seconds, a ball of purple energy shoots across the skies and was directly aimed for Virus. The bio-artificial managed to see it coming, powered down his attack and slapped the energyball away. Virus looked towards the distance to find Beelzebumon with his blaster gun directly aimed at him.
"Back off from those two, ya freak!"
"Who might you be, stranger?"
"Guess my name has reached every part of the Digital Universe. Allow me to introduce myself. They call me Beelzebumon."
"Beelzebumon? Ah, yes. I saw you in my time in limbo. You're the mega form of Impmon. Your battles with Gallantmon, the D-Reaper and Bebimon have been quite impressive. Though, you've been notorious for being swapped aside like a fool. Kind of reminds me of a certain somebody I humiliated before. Yes, that was Yamato. You and him have a lot in common. It's uncanny."
"What of it?'
"You're both arrogant fools."
"I'm not about let that one slide, jackass!"
"Well, then. Why don't you do anything to stop me?"
"I'll be happy! RAA!"
Beelzebumon flies out at the artificial and unleashes his deadly Darkness Claw. The artificial managed to dodge to the side effortlessly and slapped Beelzebumon's hand away. The winged demon throws out a fist. Virus blocks it out with an elbow. Beelzebumon follows it up with a kick. A hand from Virus easily caught the foot. Virus dodges more punches from his adversary. He didn't even seem at all worried about Beelzebumon and could read through his attacks like a book.
"Just like Yamato! You are so predictable!"
"Shut the hell up, you bastard! I'm going to stick this gun up your ass!"
Beezlzebumon flies back from his enemy and bought some time to catch his breath. Already he was starting to show some signs of fatigue despite only being in immediate action for a few minutes.
"Showing signs of fatigue I see. My, my. You aren't even suggesting we continue this?"
"Of course! I'm not through yet!"
"Very well. It's your death wish."
Virus puts out his right hand and a sword materialized in his hand. He swung his sword and channeled a heavy dose of his own ki through it. Beelzebumon backed away immediately but not long before putting out his gun blaster.
"Just because you just drew a sword, that doesn't give you a bit of an advantage!"
"Oh really?" Virus chuckled. "Then explain how I was able to put down both Hikari and Takeru so easily?"
"With that sword alone?"
"That's right. Takeru was unable to withstand the attack I summoned to knock him out of commission. As for Hikari, well just take a good look at her. She's washed up. Yesterday's news. I have regained my dignity. I've defeated some of Earth's best. Now you stand in my way. Beelzebumon. Make it easy on yourself. You once basked amongst the shadows of darkness. You've revolted the humans at one point. Step aside and I just may spare you. I know deep inside that good heart still lurks a disgusting and revolting demon, just like myself. We're one of the same."
"Shut up…"
"Pardon?"
"Shut up. Nobody dictates which side I should align myself with. I'm not stopping you to avenge Hikari and Takeru. Hell, I'm not doing this save the human race from you, Saitou or those damn Synisters. I'm this for my own desires. But, most importantly… I'm doing for this Ai and Makoto! They're counting on me to save them from nasty, pieces of scum like you! I will carry out their wishes as their guardian angel! So if you want some of me, then… Heh. Come GET some."
Amused by the demon lord's threats, Virus laughs arrogantly and nodded his head.
"A fine speech, Beelzebumon, But, alas, you shall fall just like Hikari and Takeru. Have a taste of my blade!"
"BRING IT ON, BITCH!"
(Play Kid Rock American Bad Ass)
As both highly powered warriors clashed, they traded an array of blows with each other. Beelzebumon's gun blaster blocked Virus' sword out. Virus immediately finds an opening to Beelzebumon and delivers a spin kick into his gut. The demon lord is sent flying back with Virus following after him.
"Get ready to have a taste of death, Beelzebumon! HA!"
"No on your lifetime, pal! DEATH SLINGER!"
The winged demon shot out a spiral beam through his gun blaster. Virus saw the attack coming forth and crossed his arms in front of himself. The attack merely pushed Virus back a few feet back. He immediately dispelled the attack with a single stroke of his sword blade.
"You're going to have to try better than that if you want me to notice that!"
"You're already starting to annoy me," Beelzebumon grunted.
Once regaining his train of thought, Beelzebumon takes flight towards Virus for another assault. Virus simply saw this as yet another useless attempt by the demon lord, but that strategy would soon change. Beelzebumon quickly phased out from Virus' sights. The artificial stopped for a moment to feel out on his adversary's ki. Within a second later, Virus turns around and shoots a single beam through his finger towards his right direction. The beam made its mark as Beelzebumon was revealed out of hiding. The beam struck his left wing. Screaming in pain, Beelzebumon was caught off guard by yet another beam from the artificial.
"Damn! That was dirty!"
"No, Beelzebumon. I simply felt your ki moving at different directions. As I said, you're no different from Yamato. But there are some differences. At least Yamato could use different tactics in a battle. You're only using the same old bash and hope you can catch me routine. That will not effective as long as I can feel your ki."
Beelzebumon heard enough from the villain and crossed his gun blaster around to create a pentagram. This looked similar to Virus' new technique yet this one has been effectively used before by Beelzebumon against the D-Reaper.
"All right, jackass! I'm going to blow you up and scatter you to the wind! Even you won't be able to survive this!"
"Another useless technique? That looks awfully familiar to the new technique I've mastered with Millenniumon's powers."
"You mean you have your own?!"
"That's right. Allow me to demonstrate."
With that said, Virus placed out one hand and held his sword in the other. He slashes across with hiss word to create a pentagon-shaped star. Next, Virus created an energy ball through his other hand and puts it out in front of the pentagon star.
"Wha…?! But how?!"
"Watch and learn."
"No way! I'm wasting you right now!"
Beelzebumon positioned his gun through the pentagram star and powered his gun blaster up. He shoots out a combined shot of several Death Slingers at once through the pentagram star. The winged demon lord called out for his ultimate attack.
"CHAOS FLARE!"
"TAKE THIS! DARK RITUAL CHAOS!"
(End theme)
As Virus called out his attack, a massive dark energy blast shoots across at full speed. The two attacks collided with each other with both warriors putting forth more power through their attacks. Virus and Beelzebumon screamed out simultaneously. The area around them was trembling under their power struggle and the skies darkened. Beelzebumon was hell bent on carrying out the honor of himself and his Tamers.
"Ai. Makoto. If I don't make it, then I want you two to take care of yourselves. I didn't think this creep would be that damn strong! Those Digi-Destined weren't kidding when they said this guy was a tough son of a bitch."
"BURN, BEELZEBUMON! BURN IN LIMBO! ONCE I GET RID OF YOU, THEN YOUR TAMERS ARE NEXT! HA!"
Unleashing more power through his attack, Virus' Dark Ritual Chaos covered nearly a large area of the desert landscape engulfed Beelzebumon head on. The demon lord screamed out once the blast took it's full effect. An explosion occurred over where he once levitated. Beelzebumon fell back as his eyes started to go blank and lose life. Everything within the area seemed to be going in a dramatic, slow pace with Beelzebumon plummeting towards the surface below.
"Well, that was very anti-climatic. Here you were preaching that you could stop me, Beelzebumon. You're just like the rest of them. Garbage. Obsolete. However, since you did your part to play the honorable hero, I shall grant you a hero's death. It's only fitting for you."
Pointing his finger down at the fallen Beelzebumon, Virus channeled through to send a massive energy beam. There was nothing else Beelzebumon could do anymore. Not even moving his body was going to help any.
"You are worthy of a warrior's death. After you, I'll send Hikari and Takeru to their graves. Beelzebumon. Good death to you."
Elsewhere across the desert battlefield
Dorothy was already making short work of the rest of the Chibi-Viruses. An energy beam from Dorothy disintegrated one devious imp. Another came charging out at her but Dorothy reacted in time by slamming a boot right through its torso. She twisted the impaled Chibi-Virus and tosses him down onto the ground.
"Pitiful. Geez, that's the last of them. Virus must have been desperate to keep me out of the fight. Geez, I'm already sensing dying kis?! I just hope Kari and TK are all right. Hey, Rei! It's good to come out now."
Replying to Dorothy's call, Rei emerged from out of hiding. She was told to run away but she couldn't just leave Dorothy behind. Suddenly, something started to emit a bright light from the pendant around her neck. Dorothy took notice of this.
"Hey, why is your pendant glowing?"
"What? My pendant?"
"Yes. Why is it glowing?"
"I… I don't…"
"That's no ordinary pendant! It's a digimental!"
"Digimental? This pendant? I never knew. I just found this when I was asleep one day before my accident."
Before Dorothy could have a chance to speak, a pair of beams shot out from the digimental and sailed across the skies. Dorothy took Rei by her hand and flies off after the beams.
"Whoa! Where we going?!"
"Following those beams! We have to know where they are being directly sent to!"
"Ok, but what would my pendant be sending energy to?"
"We'll just have to see and find out. It's probably something to help Kari and TK. I know it's only wishful thinking but we have to know!"
Boosting up her aura, Dorothy soared across the heavens at top speed while Rei hung tightly around her waist. The beams were heading directly for the area where Virus was preparing to finish off the fallen Beelzebumon.
Back at the desert battle
Virus was poised and ready to send Beelzebumon into oblivion. A sadistic grin forms on the bio-artificial's face before he gives a final hand salute.
"Rest in peace, Beelzebumon."
Suddenly, a pair of beams shooting out from the distance had caught Virus' attention. He prepared to swat the beams until they made a u-turn and flew right past the artificial. He wondered where the beams were directly aimed for and his questions were soon answered. They directly shot down across the fallen TK, Kari, Patamon and Gatomon. Virus' eyes shot wide open as he witnessed the human pair being levitated off the ground by the beams. Patamon and Gatomon, too, were levitated. Their bodies emitted heavenly white auras. Both humans awakened and made eye contact with the artificial demon.
"What?! Those beams! Where did they come from?! How can they be reawakened?! It's impossible! Hikari and Takeru are not supposed to possess anymore power than they should!"
"You'll never destroy what we are," Hikari spoke in godlike, female voice.
"We are the angels of hope and light. You represent the despair and darkness that threatens to plague this plane of existence," Takeru replied. "Together, we shall punish you for your wrong doings."
"Prepare yourself for judgment day," Hikari said.
"FUSION SHINKA!"
As both TK and Kari called out for their fusion evolutions, they were immediately brought together with their digimon. TK merged with Patamon while Gatomon's body infused with Kari. Their bodies were undergoing a quick metamorphosis through the light beams. Virus looks on with a horrified expression. In place of TK and Kari were both War Angemon and Mystic Celesta. Not only have their forms been restored but also so have their powers. The bio-artificial levitated up to face them. He managed to keep his composure despite being intimidated by the angelic duo.
"Your… Your powers have been restored. This is quite an unexpected development. Who would have thought fate would restore you two back. I should have been more careful. But this time I'll be sure to send you two to limbo."
"Unfortunately, it will be the other way around," War Angemon replied.
"When we're through with you, you'll once again become a permanent resident to digital limbo. May that taste of victory be your last, Virus. Your comeback streak ends here."
"You two?! Bah! We'll see who goes to limbo first!" Virus said while taking a swing of his dark sword. "Darkness will conquer the light."
Putting up their battle auras, the angelic duo of light and hope braced themselves for the final showdown with Datamon's artificial demon. Unbeknownst to them, Dorothy was getting closer to the battle with Rei Saiba hanging on tightly. She looks down at her pendant in question.
"Did those beams go directly for Hikari and Takeru? If so, then for what purpose? Well, only time will tell when we arrive at the battlefield. So far, it just may sway everything back to our favor. I have faith and hope for my new friends. Maybe they can save my brother, Neo, from Saitou's dark hand."
Ground zero battle site
Back at the battle scene, the last Millenniumon beast was striking Kaiser X with a multitude of missiles. The unified warrior stood his ground to withstand the devastating shots fired upon by Doomsdramon. The beast laughed maniacally to witness his adversary reeling back from the shots.
"Ha! Ha! Yes! Die! Die!"
Doomsdramon maintained his assault on Kaiser X relentlessly. The missiles were dealing some damage on the warrior as a cloud of smoke was building up from the explosions around him. Despite this, Doomsdramon stayed on the offense. Once he saw nothing left but a cloud of smoke, the dragon halted his attacks and chuckled.
"How about that? No matter how powerful you are, you couldn't have taken that much head on and come away unscathed!"
As soon as the smoke dissipated, Kaiser X's head was bent backwards. He struggled to maintain a vertical position and tries to bring his head forward. Doomsdramon noticed some scratches across the warrior's chest and chuckled. He was right when he said that Kaiser X wouldn't come away unscathed.
"See? You're not even as strong as you say you are."
Suddenly, Kaiser X shifted his head forward and let out a relief sigh. He tilted his head up and faces the beast with a cheesy grin. He placed his right hand on the back of his neck and snickered. He didn't even seem one bit psychologically affected by his enemy's deadly missile assault.
"Ooooooooooh, yeah. I felt that one," Kaiser X said as he rolled his eyes.
"What…?"
"You heard me. I felt that one. I felt great!"
"You dare mock my greatness!"
"Greatness? The only greatness I see is myself. Anyway, could you do me a favor? Could you work those missiles on my back? My shoulders are pretty stiff now."
Kaiser X turned his back on Doomsdramon and pointed to his back with a grin. However, this act of childish behavior from the warrior only managed to infuriate Doomsdramon. He growled deeply with veins popping across his head.
"YOU! Don't you toy with me!"
(Play Digimon Tamers theme One Vision)
With that said, Doomsdramon took full speed flight across the ground zero battleground and prepared to launch another attack on the unified warrior. He was immediately stopped in place by an elbow rammed into his face. Kaiser X had managed to stop Doomsdramon within a tenth of a millisecond with a single elbow to the beast's face. Kaiser X proceeded to unleash an array of fists and kicks across Doomsdramon's face. The dragon beasts didn't even have time to react and block out the blows. Kaiser X stopped for a moment and brought a hand out forward. Doomsdramon was ready to prepare for the worst but noticed Kaiser X simply waving his hand over.
"As The Rock would say, just bring it!"
"OH! IT WILL BE BROUGHT!"
Doomsdramon's mouth widened and a massive ball of negative ki formed through it. He then shot the dark ball across out of his mouth and directly for Kaiser X.
"TAKE THIS! ATOMIC DEATH BLAST!"
As the massive attack approached closer, Kaiser X remained calm and confident as ever. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes as if he were meditating. His comrades weren't too sure if this choice of strategy was the wise one.
"Kaiser X! Wake the hell up! That energy attack is coming right for you!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Tai!"
"Matt!"
The wives of the unified warrior held onto each other with frightened looks on their faces.
"Get out of dodge, Kaiser X! There's no way you'll withstand that!" Gallantmon warned him.
"No, he obviously has a plan," said BW.
"Didn't we already agree that Kaiser X knows what he's doing?" Pikkan brought up the discussion once again.
"It's getting closer! C'mon, Kaiser X! MOVE!" Dimitri screamed out.
As soon as he heard the boy's cries, Kaiser X broke out of his trance. He puts out a hand and a long sword materialized in his right hand. It was similar to the Transcendent Sword used by Omnimon but this one had a longer blade. Not to mention the fact that this blade was coated with ki energy.
"That sword! It looks like the one Omnimon used in his battle with Mutalior years ago!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Yeah, only this version of Omnimon makes the older model look like a slug," Hercules Kabuterimon replied.
"Let him have it, Kaiser X!" Rosemon cheered.
"TRANSCENDENT HOLY BLADE!"
With a single slash of his blade, Kaiser X cut through the energy ball. The attack itself was split into two and detonated on contact. Doomsdramon looks on with a gaping mouth and widened eyes. However, Kaiser X wasn't finished from there. Suddenly materializing in his left hand, a cannon similar to Omnimon's Supreme Cannon appeared before the unified warrior. Kaiser X gladly accepted the weapon and took it.
"CELESTIAL SUPREME CANNON!"
He pointed it directly for Doomsdramon and fires away numerous energy blasts, which were large as houses. Each blast slammed against Doomsdramon and dealing more damage against the dragon beast. Doomsdramon howled in pain as he staggered across through a building cloud of smoke. Kaiser X shoots himself across towards the beast. Just as Doomsdramon was set to strike the unified warrior, Kaiser X phases and quickly reappears behind Doomdramon with his back turned against his.
"Hey, I'm behind you, ugly!"
Once Doomsdramon turned around, he slammed his fists against Kaiser X. None of the blows effected Kaiser X in any manner. The unified warrior simply blinked his eyes once and sent an invisible force forcing Doomsdramon back many feet back.
"Damn! Doomsdramon's not even laid a single blow on him!" Cyberleomon said.
"He did lay some blows but it's not like they even fazed Kaiser X. It's only a matter of time before that beast goes down," BW replied.
"I hope so. For our sake and for Max's sake," Jeri said while hugging Calumon.
"Looks like we won't be needed after all," Kaiser Greymon said.
"But just in case that dragon escapes, we'll be sure to cut him off," Magna Garurumon said. "Hear that guys? That's our new assignment from this point on."
"Right!"
Kaiser X brought both arms together and fuses the two weapons together. As the weapons merged together, a new form of arsenal appeared in Kaiser X's grasp. A sword made completely out of ki energy dropped into his hands. The unified warrior phases and reappears over the beast.
"NOW! HAVE A TASTE OF THIS!"
"WHAT?!"
The spirit sword straightened out and elongated across the battlefield. Its wide span was long and covered nearly half of the whole devastated city. Kaiser X lets out a loud cry and swung his sword with little effort. In fact, the sword was on thousand times his size already.
"DIVINITY SLASH!"
"YOU'RE KIDDING!" the legendary warriors exclaimed.
"That looks exactly like Susanoomon's Celestial Slash!" Joe shouted.
"Much like Susanoomon's Celestial Slash, I can make my Divinity Blade as long as I want to," Kaiser X explained. "I could even make it long enough to cut through many planets at once! Doomsdramon! Brace yourself!"
"Ha! I won't be done in that easily!"
Doomsdramon immediately saw the attack coming and phased out from sight. Kaiser X halted his attack and forced his spirit sword to dissipate. A confident smirk forms across his face as if he knew his adversary would go for an escape route.
"Feh. I knew you'd pull something like that off. I played you like a fool."
With that said, Kaiser X immediately phases out. The dragon beast escaped across the battleground only to be stopped by the presence of Kaiser X. The unified warrior reappears before him and unleashes a spinning kick to send Doomsdramon sailing across into a wall. Everyone cheered on for the powerful unified warrior, who represented courage and friendship. Doomsdramon slide down against the wall with bruises inflicted across his body.
"Now then, it's time I showed you my finishing move, Doomsdramon. Brace yourself! It's going to be a killer!"
Kaiser X phases out from sight once again only to reappear over the exact spot where Doomsdramon was leaning. A golden aura of radiance glowed all around Kaiser X's body as he prepared for his finishing maneuver. Doomsdramon gasped in shock as he looked up to find Kaiser X duplicate himself. There were exactly five Kaiser Xs at once. All of them poised down at Doomsdramon to deliver the finishing blow. They each cupped their hands together to unleash a five-way Terra Beam at once.
"I doubt that even you would leave as much as a single cell behind after you get hit by five simultaneous Terra Beam blasts!" the five Kaiser Xs announced.
(End theme)
"SHIMATA!"
"HA!"
Much to everyone's surprise, rather than a five-way simultaneous Terra Beam attack, a wave of party confetti shot out from their hands. Everyone else looking on was stunned by the use of such an odd technique. Even BW and Pikkan slapped their foreheads in embarrassment. Doomsdramon looks up and finds himself covered in party confetti.
"Wow, that's some attack," Calumon said.
"Party confetti?! Couldn't they get anymore wackier?!" Sakuyamon snapped. "They should get serious!"
"Even I'm left to question their motives," Gallantmon sighed.
Doomsdramon looks up and watched as the five Kaiser X stuck their tongues out at him. Then, they suddenly vanished one by one in a cloud of smoke. In their place were pieces of Tanuki leaves. Doomsdramon growled deeply until he heard laughter from across the battlefield. Kaiser X was now seen sitting on top of a metal pole busting out laughing.
"Whew, they had me scared there for a second," Beetlemon said.
"They played through on Doomsdramon's mind," Loweemon replied. "But an odd form of strategy."
"Doomsdramon was made to be quite the fool," Koriikakkumon snickered.
Kaiser X rolled across the debris and couldn't help but laugh at the dragon beast falling for such a childish trick. He slammed his fists against the ground while continuing to wail in laughter.
"Oh jeez! I can't believe you felt for that! You crack me up! Man, even a child would have figured that one out. Ok, no.… Maybe not but you are the gullible fool, Doomsdramon."
"DAMN YOU! YOU'RE PLAYING DIRTY!"
"Ha! ha! Ow, man! My stomach's hurting already!"
Mimi and Sora couldn't help but laugh along with their husbands. Soon everyone joined in. Even Sakuyamon, BW and Pikkan were busting out.
"Got to admit that was pretty creative," snickered Gallantmon.
"I need to think of that myself," Sakuyamon said.
Doomsdramon could only stand to hear the laughter and mockery any longer. He shot himself across the battlefield and faces off with Kaiser X with an angry demeanor.
"Ooo! I just gone and pissed the big guy off," Kaiser X snickered.
"Make a laughingstock of me, will you?!"
Doomsdramon shots himself across and throws out a fist. But, Kaiser X was quick to see this coming and vanished way before a fist could connect with him. The beast looks up to find Kaiser X sitting cross legged on a pole.
"Doomsdramon. You've become nothing more than a disappointment to me. You call yourself the strongest of Millenniumon's seven, but yet I'm already dominating this battle since the start. I thought you could do better than this."
"SHUT UP! I CAN DO BETTER!"
"One finger is all I need to defeat you," Kaiser X said while raising a finger.
"No… No! I won't lose no matter what!" roared Doomsdramon. "SHADOW BEASTS! Lend me your powers! Let us unleash Armageddon and squash this insect before us!"
(Play Dragonball Z American theme Kid Buu)
Following his command, the seven digicore pieces started to glow with crimson light. One by one each core piece shot out beams of red light across the battlefield. The beams came together to form a massive ball of negative energy. This looked exactly like Doomsdramon's Atomic Death Blast. Yet, this one was a hundred times his normal size. He transferred more negative energy into the sphere through the use of the digicores' powers. The sphere grew at extraordinary proportions and covered a wide span range across the area. Everyone looked on with utter disbelief and started moving away. However, Kaiser X remained still on the pole.
Mummymon panicked while hiding behind a pile of debris. He held Arukenimon and Black Gatomon close to his side.
"Please protect me, guys! I don't want to die so soon!"
"Let go of my, bandage boy!"
"Protect me, Arukenimon! The Digital World can't lose me! I'm their champion!"
"Screw that! It's worth it! Might as well crown Kaiser X the new champ for this day forth!" Black Gatomon screamed out.
Doomsdramon brings his hands forward and causes the energy sphere to shrink down into size. He held the energy ball and looked down at Kaiser X with a sadistic grin.
"Take a good look at this, Kaiser X. This Hell Bomb is made up of the heavily condensed negative energy of the Digicores, which Millenniumon used to contaminate them. This also includes the hatred of the shadow beasts themselves! Hatred and negative energy wrapped into one. Just call it a darker version of the Life Bomb you've become accustomed to! HELL BOMB!"
"Did he just say that it's a darker version of the Life Bomb?!" Cody spat out.
"Oh crap! We should get away from here! If that thing is as strong as the Life Bomb, then we shouldn't be here to watch it impact the Earth!"
"I'm with you on that! Let's get a move on!" Sora said.
"Not just yet. We have to trust Kaiser X to knock this attack away," Pikkan said.
"What makes you think so, Pikkan? That ball is set to slam into his planet and blow us sky high!" Beetlemon freaked out.
"Trust what the Alterian says," BW replied. "Kaiser X obviously still has this in the bag. He'll prove you wrong once again…"
"Hope you're right, BW. For not just our sake but this planet's sakes," Zephrymon said.
The group remained where they were positioned. However, they couldn't help but watch the massive sphere leaving a trail of destruction along its path. Buildings started to erode and explode just by making contact with it. The skies had now turned crimson as blood with darkness in the background.
"It's no use. No matter where we run, once an energy ball with this much condensed energy, will destroy the planet," Izzy thought.
(End theme)
With the energy ball coming closer towards the earth's surface, Kaiser X gets up from his kneeled stance and sits up. He lets out a scream and became covered by a bright aura. Shooting himself across, Kaiser X slammed his right fist into it. The force from the single fist sends the energy ball sailing across towards the heavens. Doomsdramon's mouth gaped wide open at the turn of events. Even the group was stunned. Kaiser X had easily taken care of the earth-shattering blast and sent it directly through the earth's atmosphere.
An outer space view of Earth is shown with the energy ball hurtling through the atmosphere. Like a bomb, the ball detonated and exploded outside in space. A blue explosive light shone all across the earth's heavens. The light blinded Kaiser X's friends for a moment until the radiance died down.
Faroff in the Digital Universe. Shintomon's Holy Sanctuary
Back on the holy planet, there was a familiar female sitting on a rock with a hand over her stomach. This was none other than the majestic demigoddess, Lady Moinanea. She had just recently become engaged to Lord Shintomon of the eastern Digiverse. Not just that but she would be due for their child within several months. She hummed to herself and sung a lullaby to her 'future child' inside her stomach.
Just then, she had caught glimpse of a bright light from a viewing orb. She steps forward and looks down at the orb. The demigoddess let out a gasp before she started calling out to the elder digimon.
"Lord Gosenzomon! Lord Gosenzomon! Hurry up and see this, great elder!"
Behind her was a black Omnimon with a porno magazine in one hand and a rubber chicken on the other.
"What's the racket? I heard you the first time, young lady" Gosenzomon said. "By the way, when can we get supper ready?"
"I wouldn't worry about supper now, great elder! You have to take a look at this! You noticed the earth through the orb?"
"Hmmm…" Gosenzomon said. "The evil shadow that was enveloping the Earth has now just vanished."
"Interesting…"
Suddenly, Lady Moinanea felt something stroking her butt and it was actually Gosenzomon caressing her posterior. He drooled to himself and blushed. The demigoddess retaliates as she delivered a slap across the elder's face. The elder Omnimon fell back on the ground with an imprint bedded on his left cheek. Lady Moinanea gasped at what she had just done.
"Oh my! I'm so sorry, elder! I reacted out of instinct and I thought you were some bird trying to peck at me."
"Oh… no… No problem whatsoever… Ahhh… So young and so naive," Gosenzomon sighed.
Lady Moinanea focused back on the orb and could only make one conclusion based on these events.
"Taichi. This must be your doing. Whatever it is, you're going a great job. Please, make it right and keep it up. If what the prophecy says is true, then you could very well be the Messiah and the last hope for the entire Digital Universe and that of your own world."
Back at the ground zero battle site
The once dark skies have dissipated and been replaced a heavenly blue color. Doomsdramon looks around in horror and realized that the surrounding negative energy was nullified down to zero percent. Everything was once again pure as it should have been. Kaiser X looks across with a confident smirk across his face.
"Well, it would seem that even the heavens have turned on you," Kaiser X said.
"How did you pull this off?!"
"Do you think that all I did was punch your Hell Bomb away?"
"Explain yourself!"
"Fine. Right at the moment I punched the sphere, I used the energy within my body to convert the negative energy of the Hell Bomb to positive."
"You did what-now?! You mean my Hell Bomb, with its positive energy, collided with the negative energy surrounding the Earth, blowing it all away?!"
"Yep! When plus and minus are added, the answer is zero. Your attack was nullified down to zero percent."
"Grr… I HATE YOU! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!"
"Blah. Blah. Blah. Let's finish this up, Doomsdramon. I have better things to do. Like killing your ass, confronting Saitou and getting Max back."
(Play Dragonball Z American theme SSJ3 Goku Transformation)
As soon as he said that, Kaiser X put his hands forward and formed a massive energy ball with spiral rings surrounding it. The middle ball was orange with ice blue rings rotating around it. It looked like a combination of Metalla X's Ice Barrier Beam and Omega X's own Terra Beam.
"Doomsdramon! Burn in hell! ICE BARRIER TERRA BEAM!"
Unleashing a massive dose of the combined attack, Doomsdramon was unable to avoid it. He lets out a horrifying scream while being engulfed by the mighty blast of energy. Kaiser X concentrated while putting forth more ki energy through his attack. The dragon's body started to break down and immediately was losing his power. Kaiser X halted his attack and watched as four whole digicores came falling down towards the ground. Fortunately, Gallantmon, Dimitri, Kaiser Greymon and Sora caught the four digicores.
"All right! We did it!" Sora cheered. "We did it!"
"That's great! Now we can get the heck out of here," Mimi said.
"This is great! Now Doomsdramon's lost his power and has been reduced into Atolmdramon once again!" Dimitri said. "He no longer stands a chance against us. Max, we're on our buddy!"
"Look! He's not finished yet!" Kaiser Greymon said.
"Yeah. All Kaiser X needs to do is finish that guy off and we'll be done here," said Gallantmon.
Once the light faded, Atolmdramon found himself back to his dedigivolved form. He gasped and looked about his surroundings. He not only stripped of his former but also of the four whole digicores.
"Ha! I haven't kicked the bucket just yet, Kaiser X," Atolmdramon laughed.
"Either you're persistent or you're the stupidest monster we've ever faced," Kaiser X sighed. "You're no longer a match for me anymore. With this next blast, you're going to be obliterated for sure!"
Kaiser X collected even more ki and put his hands forward once again. The beast knew what was coming and started to turn away. However, he would not have a chance to escape the blast. It was going to be a much grander scale than the last one. The energy ball was coated by a purely crimson aura.
"ONE THOUSAND TIMES ICE BARRIER TERRA BEAM! HA!"
"NO!"
Atolmdramon turned around and attempted to shield himself but it was not enough to help him with stand this head on attack. The enormous blast engulfed him once again and quickly knocked the digicode right out of him. Kaiser X levitated over to where Kaiser Greymon stood.
"I… I… The great last Shadow beast defeated… by a superior warrior?! Impossible…"
"Takuya. You do the honors."
"You got it."
The Zeta-hybrid levitated up to where Atolmdramon's body was breaking down into data code. He took out his D-Tector and quickly scanned the data through his device.
"Atolmdramon. May your soul be purified by this D-Tector. Never again spread evil and pain on the innocence. Digi-Code! SCAN!"
(End theme)
As soon as he collected the last of Atolmdramon's data, Kaiser Greymon levitated back down to be greeted by everyone who witnessed the battle. Soon everyone flocked to Kaiser X, who was attempting to answer nearly every question being thrown at him.
"Please! Whoa! One at a time!"
"See, Sora? I told you. He's more Matt than Tai any day!" Mimi said while sticking her tongue out.
"Excuse me?! He's more Tai if I do say so myself! His childish antics are so similar to Tai! It's obvious," Sora retorted.
"He's more Yamato!"
"More Taichi!"
"MORE YAMATO!"
"MORE TAICHI!"
"Ladies! Please! Let's be civilized here!" Mummymon said.
Before he could do anything else, the two ladies turned to face Mummymon with demonic glares. He squirmed away only for Arukenimon to slap him across the back of his head.
"OW!"
"Don't be such an idiot," she sighed.
Suddenly, Kaiser X watched as his body emitted a bright aura and felt his body being separated at once. The group saw Kaiser X losing his form and reverting back to the separate warriors. Omega X and Kaiser X looked down upon themselves in shock.
"Hey, I thought we were supposed to maintain our form for thirty minutes. That was only ten minutes!" Metalla X growled.
"Heh. I guess level four really takes it out of you," replied Omega X. "Oh well. At least we got the job done."
"Be glad that fusion didn't wear off during the fight," Gallantmon said. "Or we would have all been in deep trouble."
"No kidding! Now, we have all the digicores and we can go save Max!" Dimitri reminded everyone.
"Yes, please. Let's get out of here and head back to the cavern," Sora suggested.
"I'm not sure if I can even teleport inside with my Time Warp," Omega X replied.
"But it should be worth a try," Joe said. "We have only little time before that tunnel opens, right?"
"Since ten minutes have passed just now before Doomsdramon was defeated, I'd say we have an estimate of twenty minutes left," said Omega X. "Ok, everyone. I'm going to transport us outside the caverns then."
"That's a good idea. Be sure to lock on someone's ki first near the cavern," Pikkan said.
With a nod, Omega X placed two fingers on his forehead and began to sense for any kis near the Demon's Cavern. He was picking up on the ki signals of Shintomon, Lopmon, Guardromon and Marine Angemon first.
"Shintomon is out there as we speak along with the others. They must have been waiting for us since we've been taking care of this last monster. Ok, everyone grab hold and stay close. I'm teleporting us there right away."
"Dimitri. Do you got all four digicores?" asked Mimi.
"Piece of cake, mom. I've got them."
Omega X took another glance at one of the digicores and saw an memorial image of Novadramon. A smile forms across his face and realized that he had avenged the fallen monster's death.
"Novadramon. I'll never forget you, my friend. You showed that not all of you monsters had selfish desires. I respect you for the honor you had and for sparing my wife. Maybe, one day, we'll meet again. When I die, I'll be sure to give you the best fight you could hope for. Thank you, Novadramon."
"Um, Tai? Honey? Are you there?" Sora pondered while gawking at her husband.
"Must be day dreaming again. Figures," sighed Mimi.
"Oh, is everyone ready?"
"We've been asking you that same damn question for the past minute or so," Metalla X answered. "Let's hurry it up! Max is waiting and the tunnel is due to open!"
"Good. Now hang on tight everyone."
The group huddled close together and placed their hands on Omega X. Within a second, the warrior transported himself and everyone out from the area. Yes, this even included Mummymon, Arukenimon and Black Gatomon. However, unbeknownst to them, there was a lost stream of data that Kaiser Greymon forgot to scan. This tiny data packet emerged from the rubble and was emitting a black aura. Just then, a small snicker was heard from out of the data packet itself.
"Fools… They actually thought they have me down? I just lead them to believe that I was defeated. For I, Millenniumon, will once again merge myself with Ryo's digimon and become reborn. But for now, I'll let Saitou have his fun. Taichi, I just hope you don't die because I'd like to have that opportunity to do so. Heh. Heh."
Suddenly, a pair of footsteps was heard trampling across the debris. In the distance was none other than Ryo Akiyama and Monodramon. The tiny infected data packet slivered through the rubble and tunneled its way towards Monodramon. Without him knowing, the data packet condensed itself into a slug-like form and absorbed through the rookie's skin.
"I shall nest inside Monodramon since he still carries some of my essence. I shall dictate the pace until the time is right for my rebirth. Fortunately, I was able to extract the Dark Spore from out of Ichijuoji's body all thanks in part to Lichidramon. Soon, my rebirth will be at hand! Ha! Ha!"
"Something the matter, Monodramon?"
"No…"
"This is terrible. First Shinjuku and now this? The Earth is coming apart."
"Well, at least the skies are clearing. Maybe a good sign?"
"Possibly or this is simply the calming before the storm. I'm afraid things will only get worse from this point on, Monodramon."
"Yes, for all of you, humans. The end is at hand…"
"Let's get a move on. You said west, right?"
"Uh huh. Let's get a move on to Demon's Cavern!"
"Still can't believe you want to go there. But, whatever. Let's go."
With Ryo walking through the rubble, Monodramon caught up with his Tamer and led him through into a far off forest in the distance. This would exactly lead them down towards Demon's Cavern. This would be the exact battle site where Omega X would face off with Saitou in the fated showdown according to what the prophecy has foretold. Just how does Millenniumon now fit within the final pages of the prophecy? Only time will tell and it could very well be soon.
Interdimensional Stadium
The ensuing battle between Ultima X and Burizalor was becoming more intense. Streaks of light crashed around through the surroundings and explosions appeared across the arena seats. Burizalor flies up towards the rafters and shoots down numerous ki blasts. Ultima X manages to swipe away each ki shot with his sword. He boosts his speed and quickly slams a knee into the overlord's gut. The warrior follows it up with fists across Burizalor's body and delivers an elbow shot to the back of his head.
"Heads up, Mega Gargomon!" Keke screamed out.
The mega digimon looked ahead to find the Burizalor clones flying out in masse towards him.
"Great. This is just what we needed, Henry. Um, it was nice knowing ya?"
"Even I can't defeat these guys, let alone one of them," Keke growled. "Davis is too busy with the real guy. What now? Sonja's down and out!"
"Now! Prepare yourselves for the afterlife!" the clones screeched.
"We're dead meat! Davis! Get your butt down here!" exclaimed Mega Gargomon.
The clones all formed energy balls altogether and prepared to finish off the two. Keke puts up her guard, as did Mega Gargomon, even though they knew that still wouldn't save them from certain death. Just as the Burizalor clones were prepared to deliver the finishing blow, a quick blur emerged from out of the crater and knocked away each clone swiftly. Keke and Mega Gargomon were stunned to find out that the clones were dispatched rather quickly. The blur happened to be a revived Sonja. She lands back on the ground with her clothes tattered and a cross-shaped scar formed across her right cheek.
"Sonja! You're all right!" Keke exclaimed. "I thought you were a goner for sure!'
"Nice way to make a comeback! Ick, that cut on your face looks pretty nasty," Mega Gargomon spoke through Terriermon's voice.
"I was surprised myself. Then I forgot about my own design. I'm an artificial with unlimited stamina and energy. Burizalor. Really, is that the best you can do?"
The real Burizalor looked down at the revived artificial woman and seethed angrily. He heard slight chuckling from Ultima X.
"You find something humorous, Daisuke?"
"Yeah. You. Big mistake for underestimating my woman, you dumb bastard."
"But, that attack I inflicted should have destroyed her! She shouldn't even be gaining a second wind!"
"Guess Datamon never told you that his artificials run on unlimited energy."
"But she's not purely robotic!"
"She's still human with some mechanical parts. You see there's this device planted in her that allows her to run on unlimited energy. So, she can never become fatigued for a long time."
"Impossible…! Why didn't Datamon tell me about the artificials' full details?!"
"You should have asked, but knowing you. You're too idiotic and egotistical to even consider taking advice from others," Ultima X continued on. "You just screwed yourself in the process. With Sonja's unlimited energy and my superior power, you can't defeat the both of us, pal."
"But my clones! I still have my clones!"
"Not for long. All we have to do is kill the main source and I'm looking at him right now," Ultima X snickered. "Yep. That's you, Burizalor. With you dead, those clones will be deleted and returned to their normal selves."
"No! I won't allow you to carry out on your strategy! Clones! Infect Daisuke's friends now! Hurry! It's out last chance!"
Following the orders of their superior, the clones charged out in masse on the trio. Sonja leaps up onto her feet and flew through the clones. She throws out a barrage of fists and kicks to knock away each Burizalor clone effortlessly. Mega Gargomon throws out a fist to send several Burizalor clones flying back. Keke takes advantage of the fallen clones and shoots down numerous ki blasts. Despite their effort, they still couldn't kill off any of the clones.
"Ha! No matter how hard you try, they will always get back up!" laughed Burizalor.
"Hey! You're forgetting someone, dumb ass," Ultima X said as he appeared behind the overlord.
As Burizalor turned around, Ultima X grabbed him by his wing and tightened his grip. The overlord howled in pain as Ultima X started pulling at the left wing. With one snap, he ripped the wing off of Burizalor's back.
"MY WING! YOU SON OF A-"
Ultima X silenced Burizalor and delivered a spinning kick across his face. The force sent the overlord crashing down to the surface. Burizalor managed to stop himself in time and saved his own fall. Ultima X levitated down and faced off with the villain with a serious demeanor. No longer was Daisuke in the mood to play any more games.
"Enough of this! You're gone, Daisuke! I'm sure you've already become accustomed to this attack of mine. DEATH ALCHEMY!"
(Play Inuyasha OST theme Miasma)
With that said, Burizalor's wings spread out and he takes flight across the skies. The warrior stood his ground and questioned the overlord's tactics. Burizalor points his finger and shoots out a beam. Rather than blast Ultima X, he shot the ground and immediately was carving out a circle around where Ultima X was standing.
"Just, what is he doing? Davis! Get out of there!" Sonja cried out.
"Yes, listen to your dearest wife, Daisuke. You don't want to get devastated by this again. You barely managed to survive last time, but you won't have any chance of living this second time! Ha! Ha!"
Despite the threats from Burizalor, Ultima X maintained his ground and seemed rather confident. He knew that Burizalor's attack had nearly killed him but he didn't seem bothered this time.
"Davis! Get out of there! You want to die?!" Keke screamed.
"This is no time to play the macho prick right now, Davis!" Sonja growled. "He just loves to play around…"
"I'm not so sure he's playing, guys," Mega Gargomon said. "He must have a plan."
"What plan?!" Keke exclaimed. "He's standing around like a moron!"
"Just watch…"
"I just hope you know what you're doing, Davis. For our sakes," Sonja thought.
The circle around Ultima X started to tremble and a dark column of light emerged from out of the ground. Ultima X was too late from maneuvering away plus the circle Burizalor created put up a barrier to trap the warrior from within. However, unlike the last time, Ultima X was still rather calm and smiled. Burizalor wondered what he was plotting.
"What?! You find this funny, Daisuke?! You must have lost your damn mind!"
"No, my brain is still functioning. It's you that's an idiot. I just found a way through your barrier."
"What?! How?!"
"Allow me to demonstrate."
As soon as he said that, Ultima X pulls out his sword and channels a large amount of ki through the sword. The sword itself was glowing a golden aura. Then, the entire barrier itself was becoming engulfed by a golden aura. Burizalor became blinded by the light and screamed.
"What's the meaning of this?!"
"The golden radiance?" Sonja said. "Davis' is using the golden radiance left over from his fight with Lichidramon?!"
"Whoa, this is a first," Keke said. "At least for me…"
With a loud battle cry, Ultima X swung his newly powered sword and sliced through the barrier. Burizalor gasped in horror to witness his own spell being cut down like butter. The fused warrior pointed his sword directly towards Burizalor.
"Told you I'd find a way through your pathetic techniques, Burizalor. Face it. You're beaten. There's no chance of you ever defeating me. Now, how would you prefer your death? Slow or quick?"
"No… I won't! I won't allow myself to be defeated by the likes of you! Never!"
(End theme)
Sonja steps forward behind Burizalor and wiped the blood from her scar.
"Just give it up. The two of us would crush you."
"Then, why don't you prove it?! I'm standing right here! I won't rest until you two are dead!"
Burizalor boosts his dark aura and shoots two blasts towards his two adversaries. They effortlessly slapped the blasts away.
"Wow, that was pathetic," Ultima X sighed. "You're washed up, Burizalor. It's time we end this."
(Play Inuyasha OST theme Sword of a Fang)
Summoning his sword out, Ultima X raised it over his head and began spinning into a tornado. Burizalor saw through to this and increased the mass on his body. This was the same technique used against Super Artificial Jax.
"No! I won't fall to this little maneuver! You used this on Jax! It will fail! I promise you that!" roared Burizalor.
"Not as long as we're here!" Sonja calls out.
Burizalor turns around and finds Sonja flying out at him. She throws out a barrage of punches and kicks at the overlord. He blocks out every attack and goes for a tail lash. She phases away and reappears yards away from his right side. She puts out a hand, creates an energy disc and hurls it across. Burizalor dodged the attack but not long until it sliced off his tail. The overlord howled in pain and retaliates with an energy blast. Mega Gargomon stepped out and took the blast head on. The titanic mega fell over to make the sacrifice for the artificial.
"How do you like the new crew cut I gave you, your highness?" Sonja sarcastically said with a smirk on her face.
"YOU INSOLENT WENCH! PREPARE FOR DEATH!"
"No, Burizalor! It's over for you!"
Burizalor turned around and watched as Ultima X shot across towards him at super sonic speed. Ultima X spun around into a strong tornado with a deadly blade at the center.
"HYPER TORNADO BLADE!"
All Burizalor could do now was scream out in horror. He didn't have time to react once Ultima X plowed right through him. However, rather than being having Ultima X punch right through him, Burizalor received a much gorier treatment. Burizalor was frozen in place for a few moments until Ultima X's blade sliced him up into pieces. Blood was splattered across with skin and body parts scattering across.
Once their superior had met his death, the clones were quickly being deleted one by one. They were all connected to him through the virus. Thus they were immediately dissolved. Mega Gargomon and Keke looked around to find no more traces of the clones. Ultima X stopped his attack and looked down at the work he just made. No longer was Burizalor a threat but a pile of gore, tattered skin and body parts. The overlord's brain splattered across towards Sonja's feet. With one swift stomp, she crushed his brain and officially sealed the end of the terror.
(End theme)
"So, that's the end of Burizalor. About time that bastard had what's coming to him," Ultima X said. "Sonja. You going to be okay?"
"Just peachy. Yuck, my shoes are covered by his blood," Sonja said while wiping her shoes.
"I can't believe we did it!" Keke cheered. "I thought you guys were gone for sure."
"Nah. I was just caught off guard," Ultima X replied. "Mega Gargomon. Thanks for covering for my wife. We owe you."
"No problem," the mega said while sitting up.
"So, what now? We just defeated Burizalor. Does that mean we can get the heck out of here?" Keke wondered.
Almost right on the spot, a portal opened up at the center of the stadium. Keke slapped her own forehead.
"I hate it when I'm right."
"It's a good thing there's a way out of here," Sonja stated.
"Whatever it may lead us, let's get going everyone. Perhaps it will lead us to Max," Ultima X suggested.
With everyone nodding, the five individuals entered through the portal and left the empty stadium. The portal closed up as soon as the last individual entered through. Unbeknownst to them, the bloody mess left behind was starting to emit a dark, purple aura. A shadow emerged from out of Burizalor's shredded body and gave off a sinister chuckle.
"So, Burizalor has fallen. He had his chance. Now his dark power shall become one with me."
Interdimensional Desert
Battling across the heavens, Virus was doing everything through offense to counter the double-team efforts of the angelic duo. He throws out a punch at War Angemon and actually connects. However, Mystic Celesta took advantage of her distracted rival and shoot out a beam from her right hand. The blast connected with Virus' face and rocked him back.
"You wench!"
Mystic Celesta cried out and slammed a barrage of fists into Virus' chest. Each fist caused some damage to the bio-artificial's perfect body. She goes and delivers an uppercut into his chin to send him hurtling across the heavens. She quickly phases out and reappears above Virus.
"HOLY BEAM!"
Mystic Celesta fires away a powerful blast towards Virus, who immediately regained his senses and dodged to the side. The blast plummeted down at the surface and exploded on impact. She had forgotten that Beelzebumon was still lying unconscious across the sands.
"Darn! I forgot all about Beelzebumon!"
"Some friend you are, Hikari. You show no concern for your fellow comrades."
"I had forgotten he was down there. You won't be dodging my attacks any longer."
"Oh yeah? We'll see."
"Mistake number one!" War Angemon calls out.
The artificial turns around and is met with a kick across his face. War Angemon appears and sends a force of power through his kick. Virus was stunned by the blow, which gave War Angemon an advantage. He grabbed Virus by his right leg and hurls him through a nearby mountain ledge. Virus crashed through the ledge and was buried underneath the rubble. The angelic duo came together and threw out a barrage of ki blasts down upon their buried adversary. A set of explosions scattered across the sands.
"Keep firing, Kari! We can't allow him to escape!"
"That's easier said than done!"
With the angelic pair still implementing their assault, Virus powers out through the rubble and sends an array of rocks towards the pair. War Angemon shoots out a ki blast to destroy the incoming rocks. Meanwhile, Mystic Celesta pulled out her sword to slice through each rock catapulted. Virus takes flight towards the female and throws out a fist. Mystic Celesta puts up her shoulder to block it out. The artificial roars angrily and delivers a big boot across her face.
"Well, that some miraculous comeback, Hikari. Too bad it won't last too long for you and your lover. You will be put into the position as Beelzebumon. Both of your faces will be sent buried into the dirt."
"Keep telling yourself that, you arrogant prick," War Angemon said. "Virus. This is where you die. Hope and Light will consume your darkness."
"Now where have I heard that one?" Virus sighed. "Heads up!"
With that said, Virus flies out at War Angemon and quickly vanished from sight. War Angemon was immediately caught off guard for a moment until he felt a swift kick slammed against the side of his neck. The angelic warrior of hope gagged as he heard his neck slightly pop from the impact blow. Mystic Celesta powers up an aura and makes a collision with Virus. She spears Virus in mid-air and plummets down towards the surface along with him. As soon as she was midway from the ground, she drops Virus and lets him become pile driven through the sands. Mystic Celesta rushes over to War Angemon and treats his neck.
"You going to be okay, Takeru?"
"I'll be fine. We have to finish this. There's no time. In no time, that tunnel will open and Max will already have been eaten by Sigma since they need Max's powers to cut the barrier."
"I know. I just had a thought. What if we use our combined strength and use a double team Holy Beam? We used it on Jax."
"But it didn't destroy him."
"Surely, it will reduce Virus to cinders. It's the only way. Remember he can regenerate."
"Right. All we have to do is destroy everything including the core in his brain. Great idea, Takeru. Let's do it!"
Suddenly, the angelic duo turned around to find Virus arriving from the far distance. He quickly sets up a ki aura and increases the muscles on his body. His aura became surged with electrical streaks.
"Great, he just increased his strength. But that bulk form should slow him down," War Angemon said. "All we need to do is concentrate on our ki and release it into a double blast."
"Then we can condense it. Right. I got it."
"Are you two done having your little chit chat?! Because I'm just about ready to finish you off!"
(Play Dragonball Z American theme Dead Zone)
With that said, Virus lets out another earth shattering roar and cups his hands together in a familiar stance. A ball of energy was materializing through his palms. The sands of the desert started blowing away and many sand storms were building up.
"He's going for my brother's finishing technique," Mystic Celesta said. "This is it! Let's hurry and get our attack over with."
"There's no way I'm going to let you finish! Death is your only future, angels! Victory shall be mine! TERRA-"
"Now, Hikari! HOLY-"
"HOLY-"
The angelic warriors stood together and gathered enough holy energy. Energyballs materialized through their palms. War Angemon's was golden yellow while Mystic Celesta's ki light was pink. The three warriors aimed poised to fire away their most powerful techniques.
"IT'S TIME TO DIE!" Virus screamed out before unleashing his ultimate attack.
"TERRA BEAM! HA!"
"HOLY-"
"HOLY-"
"BEAM! HA!" the angels screamed out.
Virus' attack collided with the other two beams of light. All three struggled to keep their attacks stabilized. The bio-artificial felt his body becoming strained but not long enough before dark ki flowed through his body. His Terra Beam was actually starting to over coming the angels' light beams.
"Hikari! Don't give up! We've beaten this bastard before and we can do it again!"
"Yes! We won't give it up!"
"Hikari! Takeru! It was nice knowing you but this is where you last stand! Victory is once again mine! Ha! Ha!"
"CHAOS FLARE!"
Suddenly, Virus heard a voice calling out an attack and watched an energy beam being sent directly for him. The bio-artificial quickly blew it off with a bright aura. Beelzebumon was back on his feet with widened eyes.
"A valiant effort, Beelzebumon, but all in vein! You've only forced me to put forth more energy to kill off both Hikari and Takeru! I'm going to blow all of you away with one blast!"
"Damn! Just what's it going to take to beat this guy?!"
"SHINGAMI CHAOS BEAM!"
A massive red beam came shooting out beyond the distance and struck Virus across his face. However, unlike many blasts, this one actually damaged the artificial's face. His face was revealed to be ripped away. Muscle tendons were revealed and purple blood gushed out like there was no tomorrow. He looked across to find Dorothy with one hand stretched out. Hanging onto the girl, Rei Saiba's pendant was still emitting a bright glow.
"YOU BASTARDS!"
"NOW, GUYS! HE'S ALL YOURS!" Dorothy screamed out.
"Let's do it, Kari!"
"You got!"
Putting forth more energy through their attacks. the combined beams condensed into one massive blast.
"SEVEN HEAVENS JUDGMENT BLAST!"
Virus screamed in utter horror as he became engulfed by the enormous blast. It was as if history were repeating itself all over again. He looked back to the same event when teenage Hikari destroyed his body at the conclusion of the War Games. That same child has once again defeated him. But, it not just her but also her husband.
"WE WON'T LET YOU LIVE EVER AGAIN! NEVER RETURN TO HARM OUR CHILDREN! BE GONE, VIRUS!" Mystic Celesta screamed.
"AHHH! I MAY DIE BUT MY SOUL SHALL FOREVER HAUNT YOU, HIKARI! UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE!"
Roaring his last words, Virus' perfect body was reduced to simple cells and his core was destroyed in the process. The mighty blast faded away and revealed no traces of Virus. Mystic Celesta and War Angemon both levitated down to recover from their hard fought battle.
(End theme)
"Damn, just had to steal my thunder," Beelzebumon grunted. "Well, at least you two had your fun. You were more familiar with him than I was."
"You held him off to give us time to recover, Beelzebumon," War Angemon said. "We're thankful."
"Yes, thank you. We would have been vaporized if you hadn't come," Mystic Celesta replied while giving a bow to the demon lord.
"Um… It was nothing I guess. I wasn't doing it to save you. I had to stop that bastard because I didn't want him to destroy the world where Ai and Makoto are at."
"How sweet," the female warrior giggled. "You do have love for your Tamers."
"Hey, let's not get too mushy here, lady."
"Seriously. We wanted to make sure Virus never set his sights on our children. We both have loved ones to protect."
"Yeah. You've got a point. I just don't want to get all mushy about it. It ruins my bad ass image."
"Understood. I'll keep it to myself."
"Hey, guys!" Dorothy calls out from above.
"Great work, Dorothy! You're also a big help!" War Angemon exclaimed.
Dorothy landed down to where her friends awaited her arrival. Setting Rei down, the pendant around her neck lost its luster and returned to normal.
"There's something you guys should know about Rei," Dorothy said.
"What is it?" asked War Angemon.
"Well, it's-"
Before Dorothy had a chance to explain, a portal opened behind them. It was the same kind of portal that Davis and his team used to escape the other dimension.
"You'll have to tell us later because we found our way out of here," Mystic Celesta said. "If that's the portal to lead us to Saitou's lair then I'm taking it. I know TK is going with me, but this is your last chance. You guys don't have to fight with us. You just leave Saitou with us."
"No way. I'm getting my shot at that creep," Beelzebumon said. "Nobody opens up a tunnel and sends nasty monsters to chow on my Tamers like lunch. Over my dead body. I'm kicking his ass."
"Max is captive. He's such a sweet little boy who loves his friends and family dearly. He's like a little brother to me," Dorothy stated. "I'm not going to turn my back on him when he needs us most."
"Ditto here. Max has shown me the good side to humanity. Plus, I need to go to change my brother's views. Saitou must be stopped at all costs," Rei said.
"Everybody's for it then. Ok, everyone. This maybe the point of no return, but we're going to fight with everything we've got. With that out of the way, let's get going," War Angemon said. "It's time. Max needs us."
The four walked through the portal and departed from the interdimensional desert world. Well, in Beelzebumon's case, Dorothy and Rei helped him through since he was still battered from his fight with Virus. However, unbeknownst to them, a dark cloud emerged from the exact spot where Virus' body was decimated. The shadow moved about across the desert before fading away.
"Virus, too? He has failed for the last time. He and Burizalor's last portions of energyshall be transferred to me. With their powers, I shall crush those insolent Digi-Destined… once and for all. But for now, I shall let you have all the fun, Saitou. Entertain me and make certain the barrier is cut down. There is nothing that can stop you. Nothing."
Outside Demon's Cavern
Waiting for the arrival of his comrades, Shintomon was sitting on a rock and sighed in depression.
"First Impmon and now Sonja? Why didn't they just stay here and wait for the others?"
Just then, the higher digimon turned to feel out a strong ki appearing at the site. He turned and was relieved to find Omega X arriving with the others. Sora, Phoenixmon, Mimi, Rosemon, Izzy, Hercules Kabuterimon, Joe, Gomamon, Cody, Armadillomon, Dimitri, Sakuyamon, Crimson Gallantmon, Mummymon, Arukenimon and Black Gatomon were standing together on one side. On the other side, Metalla X, Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon, Zephrymon, Beetlemon, Loweemon, Koriikakkumon, Pikkan, BW, Cyberleomon, Jeri and Calumon were together. Omega X stepped forward with Dimitri holding the four digicores.
"My goodness! Are those the digicores?! You've managed to gather them together?!" asked Shintomon.
"That's right. We were able to defeat the final monster," Omega X replied.
"You should have seen them! Tai and Matt used fusion to become Kaiser X. They defeated Doomsdramon and snared that last digicore," Sora explained.
"That's great! I commend you all for taking the time to capture all of the digicores. It looks like order has now bee restored. We can take care of the damages to this world and restore Ken Ichijouji."
"Not yet, Shintomon. I'm afraid it's over yet," Omega X said. "We might have captured the digicores. But my son is still captive. There's only little time. Saitou's anxious to get that tunnel opened and unleash the apocalypse on our planet."
"You have a point. Please, do go," the higher digimon suggested. "It's essential we go and prevent Saitou from carrying out his scheme."
"Am I still able to use my Time Warp to enter the caverns?" Omega X asked. "I don't want to waste anymore time running through the cave without knowing what to expect. We only have about twenty minutes left before that bastard has that tunnel opened."
"You might want to give it a try, Taichi. You only have little time."
"Okay, who wants to accompany me? I could go alone if need be."
As soon as he said that, Omega X was surprised that many volunteers had stepped up to lend him a hand. Amongst them were Metalla X, Crimson Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Pikkan, Cyberleomon, BW and the six legendary warriors. A smile crept across the warrior's face. He was delighted to know that they would stand by him to foil Saitou's master scheme.
"I appreciate it guys."
"Tai. We've been through hell and back, literally. This is the battle that decides all. Everything else was just child's play," Gallantmon said. "I became what I am because of you and Kari. I'm honored to fight by your side."
"Likewise," replied Kaiser Greymon. "We legendary warriors will not let you down. Right, guys?"
"You got that right!"
"We've been allies since the battle with Devimon on File Island. Of course, I'll be involved in this," Cyberleomon replied. "Both of our worlds are at stake."
"I just want to kick Saitou's ass," Pikkan grumbled.
"Max is such a good kid and I would hate to see a human-hating bastard like Saitou do anything to harm him," BW said. "Tai. When this is said and done, I'd like to call Max my little brother."
"It's a deal. You don't have to ask. Okay, everyone. Gather around so I can transport us in that cavern."
Following the warrior's orders, the group gathered around Omega X. He concentrated through the ki signals from within the caverns. He didn't think he would even have a chance to enter since Neo's territory prevented anyone from entering. However, this time that territory was dispelled. Omega X realized this was his opportunity to teleport inside.
"That Spell caster's territory has been dispelled! Great! We can enter through! Here goes!"
Within a tenth of a millisecond, he and the group were gone from sight. Shintomon was caught off guard by the quick teleportation. Nearly dropping the digicores, Dimitri went over and took the digicores.
"I think I'll hold onto those, Mr. Shintomon."
"Sora. You going to be all right?" Phoenixmon asked.
"Yeah for now at least. My son and husband are in dangerous territory. I pray they both come back to me," Sora slightly sobbed.
"It's going to be all right. Our husbands are in there and they're going to make short work of that monster," Mimi said. "Just breathe easy. Armageddon will never come as long as we believe."
"Mimi… You sure have grown since I first met you."
"Like they say, time passes and people change. For the worse or for the better."
With a nod, Sora lets out a sigh and looks up to the night skies.
"Well, this is rather dramatic. Don't you think, Arukenimon?" Mummymon asked.
"I suppose if you're into that kind of thing."
"Hey, didn't think I'd see you guys here again," Kazu calls out.
Emerging from out of the woods were Kazu, Kenta, Marine Angemon, Guardromon, Suzie and Lopmon.
"What is this?! A reunion?!" Mummymon shouted. "My… Who would have thought we'd be back together after five long years?"
"Life is always full of surprises," Kenta said. "It's good to see you again, Mummymon."
"Uh… I need to lie down…"
"Was it something he said?" Guardromon asked.
"No, its just Mummymon's getting too old for this," sighed Black Gatomon.
Shintomon faced the caverns and gives a prayer to all the warriors who are set to commence in the final battle to save the multi-worlds. Sora, Mimi, Jeri, Joe and Cody join in with the higher digimon to give their prayers.
"Taichi. My friends. Good luck to you all. You are all our hope to overcome this rogue apprentice and seal the tunnel. May the higher beings watch over us all and determine the outcome of this final battle," Shintomon thought. "Bless us all."
Inside the center of Demon's Cavern AKA Saitou's Lair
Meanwhile, inside of the cavern's center, the misty and ominous environment was quiet for a moment. That is until the two portals from the interdimensions opened up. Saitou was still sitting on the couch watching a war movie through a big screen television. Standing by his side was Neo Saiba, who had just left from his boat. He was no longer sitting down but standing up with his arms crossed. On the other side, Sigma maintained his barrier over Max Kamiya.
The first to emerge from the portals was Mystic Celesta, Beelzebumon, War Angemon, Rei Saiba and Dorothy.
"We're finally here!" Rei said. "This is where Mr. Saitou's opening the tunnel."
"And speak of the devil," Mystic Celesta pointed out to Saitou.
"That's him? Look at that no good bastard watching a flick before we pound his face in!" growled Beelzebumon.
Next, Ultima X, Mega Gargomon, Keke and Sonja arrived at just about the sametime. Keke gasped as soon she found Max contained inside a cocooned barrier thanks to Sigma's powers.
"There's Max!" Keke exclaimed. "Huh? Aunt Kari? Uncle TK?!"
"Keke?! Davis?! You guys! What a coincidence!" War Angemon said.
"Whoa! Hey, did you gets get reacquitanted with some old enemies of ours?" asked Ultima X.
"We already dealt with Virus," answered Mystic Celesta.
"Yeah and we just took out Burizalor," replied Sonja.
"Insane. So that was Saitou's last line of defense. I've got to hand it to him. He knows how to play the game," Dorothy said. "Now, we can stop him right in his own damn cave."
Before they could make their next move, Omega X finally arrived with Metalla X, Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Pikkan, BW, Cyberleomon and the six legendary warriors via the Time Warp teleportation. It seemed Neo's territory was dispelled, thus allowing the warrior to successfully use his teleportation.
"Tai?! You're here, but how? What about the territory?" Mystic Celesta asked.
"The territory was dispelled," Omega X replied.
The warrior looked across and found Saitou sitting on the couch. He growled intensely and turned to also find Max held within a crimson barrier.
"SAITOU! We've just taken out all of your lines of defense! The last monster has been defeated and we've just captured all of the digicores," Omega X said.
"Not to mention Burizalor and Virus are out of commission!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"What you guys actually fought Virus and Burizalor?" Omega X said. "I thought they were supposed to be locked in limbo."
"All thanks in part to Millenniumon," replied War Angemon. "We even killed them off. Well, Kari and myself took out Virus. Davis wasted Burizalor."
"I thought they couldn't die? Takato and I sure as hell couldn't kill them," Omega X wondered.
"Partially true, but that rule only applies to limbo," Cyberleomon explained thoroughly. "Once they reemerge into the living realm, they can die just like any other being. Their immortality advantage only applies in limbo because of the physic and spiritual laws set forth. Since you guys killed them in the living realm, their souls cannot return back to limbo unless the guardian collects them. But their bodies have been destroyed forever."
"Thank goodness. Those two jack asses are the last two people we have to deal with," Omega X said. "Now, it's your turn, Saitou!"

There was not a single reply from the Dark Angel or his accomplices. Mystic Celesta felt a terrible vibe coursing through her body. Omega X wondered what had bothered his sister and he soon got his questions answered. He looked up ahead to find the tunnel itself levitating over the lake. Loud zombie-like groans were heard within the cracking tunnel. In just under twenty minutes, the tunnel would crack and release the Corrupts from within with the Synisters waiting along the sidelines behind a second barrier.
"AUNT KARI! TK! DAVIS! TAKATO! DAD! KEKE!" Max cried out. "You guys made it! See, Saitou?! I told you they would come!"
"Hang in there, Max! We're coming to save you!" Omega X responded to his son.
Even the Tamers and legendary warriors were becoming uneasy within the ominous cavern. Gallantmon gasped when he was watching the monsters banging against the tunnel doorway.
"Ick! Just look at that!" Zephrymon shuddered. "The smell from those things are getting to me."
"Don't worry. Those are the weaker monsters," Pikkan assured the group. "We can take those guys. It's the Synisters we have to worry about."
"The Synisters will be awaiting for us on the sidelines behind the second barrier," Cyberleomon said. "We must brace ourselves."
"So that's the center of the hole to the Dark Realm?" Gallantmon said.
"That's right, Takato," said Beelzebumon. "On the other side lies the true Dark Realm. None of that bullshit you've heard before. Guys like King Devimon only took refuge within territories outside the true Dark Realm."
"You mean you know what the Dark Realm is like?" Sakuyamon asked.
"You never told us any of this. Fess up, pal!" Mega Gargomon demanded.
"Yeah, because I was born there as a digiegg. It's not a fun place to be. It's like hell itself. Normal humans would wither like ripe fruits just by simply inhaling the mist from within. But you guys are special cases. So I wouldn't worry too much about you."
"Thanks for the warning," Kaiser Greymon said. "Hear that, Tai?"
"Yeah and we'll take that advice to heart. At least we have someone who has some knowledge of the Dark Realm. Geez, this place has a spooky vibe."
"I can't even tell if it's warm or cold," Dorothy said.
"Look! That barrier's interior wall is starting to crack!" Pikkan pointed out to the barrier.
"It's a beautiful view, isn't it?" Saitou said without turning back to face his adversaries. "The destruction of that revolting species is what we call humanity begins here. The dusk of the human race is at hand and that alone makes me the happiest man alive."
"That's enough philosophy, you satanic Socrates!" Sakuyamon hissed.
"I can't wait to bash this guy's face in," growled Beetlemon.
"This bastard thinks he can just go and open some damn tunnel. I'll blast the damn thing down if I have to," Metalla X threatened.
"You are most fortunate to have come here to such a monumental place," said Saitou. "You are to be witnesses to an important historical event. That is, assuming all of you survive."
Once finishing his sentence, Saitou turns his head around to face his adversaries with a grin.
"Welcome to the entrance to the Dark Realm," Saitou mused.

Looks like I've broken a new record. This is the longest chapter I have ever written for a D-Fusion fic. I ought to give myself a pat on the back. All in two days. Not bad, eh? Well, it's going to be at least until the weekend to get the next chapter up. Until then, you guys can keep guessing who the unexpected guest lurking from within Sigma really is. I think that should be obvious who it is. Only this upcoming chapter and we'll be set to witness the fated showdown between Tai and Saitou. Until then, check back for any updates and peace out!

Hiyas, everyone! It's already my third update of 2005 as you can tell. I'm going back and forth between this and my homework. I think I'll manage but this chapter won't be too long. Nor will it contain major fighting. Just call this more like the "breather chapter" after such a long battle with the monsters and the returning villains. However, once this chapter concludes, we'll already be set for the long-awaited Tai and Saitou fight. I know you guys have been anticipating that fight for a long while and the wait will soon end.
For now, just kick back and enjoy this chapter! Just who is within Sigma? Only one way to find out… Next!
Last time on Digimon Fusion, Omega X and Metalla X merged together into the ultimate fusion. As a result, Kaiser X made his official return to battle in his new fourth level form. With god-like abilities, Kaiser X dominated Doomsdramon and knocked the digicore out of him with a dazzling array of attacks. He retrieved the digicores, destroyed what was left of Atolmdramon and allowed Kaiser Greymon to scan him. As Kaiser X's time limit ended, the warrior defused and everyone left back to Demon's Cavern through Omega X's Time Warp teleportation.
Meanwhile, Kari, TK and Davis recovered from their defeat thanks to help from Sonja and Beelzebumon. Ultima X made a huge comeback and wasted Burizalor. The warriors of light and hope put their light energy together to destroy what was left of Virus. With the two super villains forever gone, the two groups enter through dimensional portals to find themselves within the center of the caverns.
Along the way, they find themselves reunited with their loved ones. Now, Omega X and his comrades stand firm. They have arrived at the center of the caverns and at the heart of the Dark Tunnel entrance. The battle against Himo Saitou AKA the Dark Angel finally commences…
"Welcome to the entrance to the Dark Realm…"

Sally Forth into Saitou's Lair! The Unexpected Guest From Within Sigma!
A Local Odaiba Hospital away from Rainbow Bridge. 7:35 P.M.
It was a calm and quiet night across the city of Odaiba. It has been that way since the demise of the seven monsters and when wild digimon activity started to decrease. The monumental Rainbow Bridge was still as ever with traffic packed for many people attempting to evacuate ever since warnings had been issued. The majority of the public believed that Armageddon itself was on the horizon. In fact, they could very well be correct if the Dark Tunnel is opened.
Off from the distance of the bridge was a hospital facility, which was one of many within the district. However, this particular medical center harbored the body of the now deceased Ken Ichijouji.
Inside on the fifth floor, a room with Ichijouji, Ken was closed. It was closed for good reason. For there was still mourning over the loss of the Digi-Destined own beloved keeper of kindness. Ken's corpse remained on the bed with the blanket covering him from feet to shoulder.
Standing by his side were Yolei, Hawkmon, Wormmon and both the couples' own parents were still mourning. The children were asleep on the couch and this was perhaps for the best. David slept on one side of the couch with Sam sleeping on the other side. Tike and Kara were sitting beside the sides of the comfortable couch. The purple-haired woman held the hand of her deceased husband with tears dropping down from her eyes.
"Ken… How could that monster do this to you? You shouldn't died like that. You meant no harm."
"Yolei. I think it's enough for us to mourn. Listen, we just went through a hard battle with that monster," Hawkmon reminded his veteran partner. "Ken's spirit returned to help Davis to defeat that villain. We have Ken's body. I'm confident that we will retrieve all of those digicores. It's only a matter of time."
"That's right! Just you wait and see! Once they take care of that evil human, then we will have Ken back!" Wormmon said.
"You're right. This is no time for me to mourn. It's just I get too emotional when you see the one you love die before your own very own eyes. It's a first for me and I felt terrible for not stopping that artificial from taking my husband away."
"Davis already taken care of him. We've been avenged, Yolei. So, just rest easy. I'm sure they've already defeated all of those seven monsters," Hawkmon reassured Yolei. "Yes, I have a good feeling they are already at that cavern as we speak."
"I… I just don't want anyone else to get hurt or even… die. I won't stand for it if anyone of my friends were to suffer the same fate as Ken."
"That won't happen," Mr. Ichijuoji said as he put a hand on Yolei's shoulder. "Just believe in them. You've believed in them before and we've all managed to come out of these dire situations alive."
"We barely survived the D-Reaper… But you're right. I know they will pull through. We're the Digi-Destined. Nothing can stop us," Yolei said while wiping her tears. "Nothing… Not even some psychotic human who intents on unleashing monsters to kill our home planet. Guys. I believe in you and so does Ken. Make sure you kick some ass in that cave! We're counting on you!"
"Now that's the spunky Yolei I've grown to love. That's exactly what you needed, my dear friend. Motivation can really bring the good out of you," Hawkmon thought.
Looking out through the window, Wormmon gazes out across the cleared skies. He lets out a deep sigh and sees a visual image of a younger Ken smiling. A tear comes down the green caterpillar-worm's eyes.
"Good luck, Digi-Destined. Come back to us as soon as you can. Mankind is counting on you."
Outside Demon's Caverns. 7:39 P.M.
After giving their prayers for the warriors taking combat, Shintomon and the remaining Digi-Destined gathered together around the hovercraft unit. Sora, Jeri and Mimi sat inside the hovercraft in order to cool off from the humidity within the air. Calumon rested in Jeri's hands and slept peacefully as if he were a baby child. Sleeping on Mimi's lap was Dimitri, who started snoring much to the chagrin of Mimi. Izzy was looking through his laptop and checked for any e-mail updates from Gennai. Taking guard positions around the area were Phoenixmon, Hercules Kabuterimon and Rosemon. Mummymon slept on a rock stone with Arukenimon sitting up his side. Black Gatomon was asleep on her lap.
Joe and Cody were standing beside two tree trunks while gazing into the stars above. Armadillomon and Gomamon both shared some chocolate bars to pass the time. Kazu, Kenta and Guardromon were busy playing another game of Duel Monsters. Afterwards, they gave another shot at solitaire. Sleeping beside another tree trunk was Suzie and Lopmon. Resting on top of Kenta's head was Marine Angemon.
Shintomon sits on top of the hovercraft unit while watching over Mari's body. He lets out a deep sigh and tries to not think about the consequences of the Dark Tunnel actually being breached.
"Shintomon? You think they're going to make it?" Jeri asked.
"I hope, Jeri. We all gave our prayers to them," sighed the higher digimon.
"Don't worry, Jeri. As long as my husband is in there, they'll manage to pull through," Sora said.
"Not to mention my husband, Takato, Kari, TK, the legendary warriors, Pikkan, Leomon, and everyone else who's transcended the digital fusion level," Mimi replied.
"So, how does it feel being a mother, Mimi?" Jeri asked.
"It's not bad once you get used to it. When I became pregnant with Dimitri first, I wanted to kill myself," Mimi said. "That's only because I gained weight. I hated seeing myself overweight, but I came to appreciate the birth of my son. Then, Keke was born the next year. I have two precious angels and there's no one that's going to take them away from me. I'll doe first before anything happens to them."
"The same goes for me, Mimi," Sora sighed. "Our children are in there right now. There's no telling at what length this Saitou will go to get what he desires. Even if it means at the expense of our children… Our husbands will not allow it!"
"That's great. Yes, I feel the same way for Takato, Rika and the others," Jeri said. "We've overcome many odds before and we'll do it again. This is no different."
"Now that's the spirit, guys," Shintomon said. "Our prayers will be answered and those guys will pull through! I'm confident that this apocalypse will be abruptly ended and the human race will be spared!"
"I'm afraid to raid on your little parade, Lord Shintomon," a familiar voice belonging to a young man calls out.
The crew aboard the hovercraft immediately turned around to find the masked warrior known as X. Standing beside X was Lady Moinanea and Gosenzomon. Emerging from behind them was the panda digimon assistant to Shintomon, Buddamon.
"X?" Sora said.
"Lady Moinanea?" Mimi calls out.
"Gosenzomon elder!" shouted Jeri.
"What are you three doing here?!" Izzy and Shintomon asked at the same time.
"Guess Gennai didn't e-mail you yet to tell you that we would be coming?" X said.
"No. My laptop's been acting up again," Izzy sighed. "Maybe I should have let Tai give it a few whacks before going into the caverns."
"So, those guys are actually inside this spooky cavern?" Gosenzomon asked.
"Yes, elder," Rosemon replied.
"Hi, Shintomon! I think the baby is already starting to kick inside of me!" giggled Lady Moinanea.
"Dear, what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here with your condition. Our baby must come first."
"I tried to stop her but she kept begging me," Buddamon sighed.
"No, it's okay. As long as I'm by her side," Shintomon said. "That'll be all, my friend."
"Yes, my lord."
Shintomon steps forward and takes Lady Moinanea's hand. A red blush covers her cheeks.
"Tell me, Lady Moinanea. Will it be a boy or a girl?" Mimi mused.
"A precious little boy. I hope he'll be as cute as his father and as gifted as myself," the demigoddess replied.
"How wonderful! Congradulations, lady," Sora said.
"Thank you. So, Taichi and the others are in there? I can sense them," Lady Moinanea stated. "This dark human they are facing has an even greater ki than any of the seven monsters. They had better be careful. This enemy just may prove to be very unpredictable."
"Let's hope they can put a stop to him and his dark tunnel," Hercules Kabuterimon said.
"Before our worlds become the next feeding ground for the Synisters," Shintomon said grimly.
"If what the prophecy said is true, then the Dark Angel and the One will have to do battle before the Dark God himself arrives on the scene. There will be a death and a resurrection during this fated battle," Lady Moinanea thought.
"Dear. Let's not worry about those prophecies now. We will come out of this alive."
"I hope you're right, Shintomon. For our sake…"
"I've gotten an e-mail, everyone!" Izzy announced. "It's about time. Gennai is stating that the spatial distortion has entered a period of stability for now."
"Yes, I already knew that," X replied. "That's exactly what Gennai said in his report to me. It will only be twenty minutes until that tunnel enters its final phase."
"You never told us why you came back here from the Holy realms of the digital world," Jeri said to the masked man.
"I went to get my superior's permission."
"Your superior. You mean, him?!" Shintomon asked.
"That's right, Shintomon. If the worst should happen, then I will use this emerald in my hand," X said while holding a red emerald around his right hand.
He held it up for everyone to see. This was given to him by his superior and would be the last resort to perhaps sealing the Dark Tunnel. Even Mimi became transfixed by the emerald's brilliant rarity.
"How pretty," Mimi spoke with impression.
"Now, I'm heading to where Tai and the others are currently at," X spoke up. "You guys stay here. I'll take care of this myself."
"Don't you need me to go along?" Shintomon asked.
"We can surely provide assistance," Buddamon insisted.
"No, you stay to look after Lady Moinanea. She's with child. Besides, somebody needs to keep a close eye on Gosenzomon's perverted ass," X said.
"Good point," Sora said. "Don't worry. Mimi and I will keep that old fart in check."
"Hey, I wasn't even planning to make a move on them!" Gosenzomon cried out.
"Oh yeah? You said you wanted to touch my ass?" Mimi growled. "Oh, I'm keeping my eye on you, pal!"
"I just hate it when beautiful ladies get so angry..." sighed the elder Omnimon.
"If there's an earthquake within the next twenty minutes, you guys will have to move away from here. There could be digimon emerging through digital fields in the masse," X announced. "Your digimon will have to get ready. You can take care of the small fries. The Synisters themselves won't make their presence left until the weaker monsters are fully free."
"In other words, it will be a sign that the tunnel has reached its final phase," said Phoenixmon.
"Correct. Well, guys. Wish me luck. I'm off," X sighed. "I may not come back but I will see to it that everyone makes it out alive, including Tai and Max."
"Good luck, X! We're counting on you!" Sora said. "Please, return my family safely."
"As for mine…" Mimi quipped.
With that said, X sets off into the caverns and races through with incredible speed. Everyone else was left to give their prayers for X's journey.
"Hang in there, guys! At least until I arrive…" the masked man said in thought. "Tai… If I have to use this emerald, it might result in me actually unmasking myself and perhaps ending my life. For the first time, you will get a glimpse behind the mask and even you will be caught by surprise. Heck, let's put it this way. Max himself will never look at me the same again. Twenty minutes. Only so little time! You guys had better survive!"
Center of Demon's Cavern. Saitou's Lair. 7:40 P.M.
Back inside the eerie and cryptic cavern, Omega X and his entire crew stood across from the central point of the Dark Tunnel. Each had looks of surprise and discomfort when getting closer towards the hole itself. It was as if evil itself was being spilled through to engulf the precious purity of the earth's fresh air. Monsters, ranging from Devimon to Piedmon, were banging against the doorway interior wall. Even smaller, weaker creatures such as Vilemon and Cultivarmon were just about ready to break through into freedom.
Mystic Celesta remained calm despite sensing the dark ki within the cavern. Holding back his anger, War Angemon tried to not let the darkness consume him, considering the fact that he has a notorious hatred for the dark authorities. Omega X, Gallantmon, Ultima X, Metalla X and the other warriors remained firm despite the pressure getting to them. Keke hasn't taken her eyes off of Max, who was trapped inside a barrier created by Sigma.
Sitting on a couch is the mastermind himself, Saitou. He was still watching his favorite film despite his opposition arriving at the most unfortunate moment. Neo Saiba stood by his side and no longer was meditating on top of the boat raft at the center of the Dark Tunnel opening. Sigma carried Max across and placed him within the boat raft. The masked boy rowed the boat across towards over the center where the tunnel was levitating over their heads.
"DAD! KEKE! GUYS!" Max cried out in plea.
Just then, the interior wall to the Dark Tunnel was slowly cracking and the desperate dark digimon were ready to emerge into fresh territory.
"Damn! Just behind that wall is the gateway to hell itself!" Omega X thought. "Plus, this is the actual tunnel to the Dark Realm. The Dark Dimension and the other related territories Beelzebumon reminded us are just doorways leading to this place."
"What creepy air that hole is giving off!?" Gallantmon said in thought.
"Allow me to reacquaint to what I just said before, fellas," Beelzebumon said. "If you think it's the same place you battled Burizalor to the finish, Tai. You're wrong. If you think it's the same place where King Devimon resides, then no."
"Ordinary humans would shrivel up and die just by inhaling the polluted winds of the true Dark Realm itself," Pikkan finished the demon lord's explanation.
"It's best we not think about that now," Cyberleomon said. "We have a human girl with us."
"I should be fine as long as I hold my pendant," Rei Saiba said. "Um, right?"
"Let's hope so," Dorothy replied.
"Are you going to be okay, Kari?" War Angemon asked.
"Yeah. I'll manage. It's just that it's not everyday when you sense this amount of dark ki in one room. This is just overwhelming."
Sakuyamon held her staff in defense and attempted to keep distant from the polluted air seeping through the tunnel.
"Geez, I can already smell it already!" Mega Gargomon complained. "And here I thought Limburger was bad. This smells worse than ass or even sewage for that matter!"
"So behind that wall is hell itself," Metalla X said with a smirk. "How fitting. It'd be a pleasure to send his bastard there once and for all."
"Tai. Ready to attack him together?" Gallantmon asked.
"Hold up. First things first. Max comes first."
"While you do that, we can attack him at once," Kaiser Greymon said. "Right, legendary warriors?"
"Yeah!"
Turning back over towards the occupied Saitou, they caught a glimpse of the program through the television. It was featuring a movie dealing with the controversial Vietnam War. Footage of a tank strolling across the jungles and American helicopters bombing areas across Vietnamese strongholds. Saitou didn't even show any emotion towards the viewing of his favorite film. He became transfixed to the violence ensuing.
"We're getting to the best part of the film, Taichi. Pay close attention," Saitou said.
"Whoopie," Omega X calls out in sarcasm.
"The finale's about to start in about a little past the half hour," the Dark Angel continued on.
The film continues with more helicopters soaring across the skylines. Then, an American soldier came charging through the jungles to gun down a hostile enemy Vietnamese soldier. Saitou nods his head and starts speaking out again during the film.
"This story is so clichéd. The most repulsive part is that they weren't even fighting for anything real. The theme seems to be slaughter in the name of love for humanity. They were killing out of fear of an idea that threatened their greed. It only gets crueler from here. And then everything wraps up quite beautifully, like a song."
"Well, that's highly inappropriate," BW remarked.
"This guys needs to get a better hobby if you ask me," replied Zephrymon.
"He's starting to get on my nerves already," growled Beetlemon.
"Let's keep it calm, you two," Loweemon spoke. "We have to stay calm until Tai gives us the signal."
"Kouichi's right. Charging in there without thinking will lead to that creep harming Max," said Magna Garurumon.
"Don't worry, Max. We're going to save you!" Keke calls out to the boy.
"Once it's melody is carried through the air here, the tunnel will be complete," Saitou announced.
This startling announcement had caused a massive surprise amongst the group. Even Omega X was caught off guard. He knew that he had little time but he never thought that time would run out soon before the film ended.
"What?! Yeah, we only have twenty minutes to spare!" Omega X thought.
More cracks were starting to form across the interior wall. Mystic Celesta gasped at the sight. Everyone else remained calm despite the desperate situation at hand. Only twenty minutes remained before the tunnel becomes complete. They would have no choice but to wing it all out. Metalla X and Pikkan take notice of Rei Saiba. The girl was even more shocked when she stared across at her brother. Neo still had his back turned to his sister and remained by Saitou's side.
"What's wrong?" Pikkan asked.
"Is that your brother over there?" said Metalla X.
"Yes, that's my elder brother, Neo. But… Why? Why is he standing up?"
"Well, he does have two legs," remarked Kaiser Greymon.
"That's not it. Every time I came here into this dimension, I've always seen my brother sitting in that boat for the whole time," Rei explained. "He never bothered to leave the boat for any reason at all. There. You see? That same boat Max is held at the very moment."
As soon as she said that, Neo turned halfway around to face his young sister with an emotionless glare.
"The hole is completely out of my jurisdiction, dear sister," Neo quipped. "In time, it will open on its own. I can no longer stop it."
Suddenly, the dark digimon successfully managed to extend their limbs through the tunnel wall. Max panicked as the viral, demonic hands were reaching out for him as their next meal.
"MAX!" Omega X cried out in anger.
"Urgh! Flesh! Human flesh!" a Phantomon moaned.
"Yes! I need that human flesh now!" a Vilemon hissed.
"Set us free!" a Piedmon laughed.
Sigma sat up and moved away from the hands emerging through the hole. A Devimon emerged and extended his hands over towards the captive Max.
"After so many digital cycles, human flesh!" the viral devil hissed.
"NO! MAX!" Keke screamed out.
"Ah, so those must be at least C-class digimon and Corrupts vying for his attention," Saitou said. "Most of them are just simple, mindless creatures, governed only by their vast appetites. Especially for the taste of human flesh."
"No! I don't want to become their lunch!" Max cried out in fear. "DAD! SAVE ME! PLEASE! IF I COULD GET OUT OF THIS DAMN BARRIER, THEN I'D KICK THEIR ASSES RIGHT ABOUT NOW!"
However, Max's ranting was cut short as soon as the Devimon grabbed the barrier encasing containing the boy. The other virals were drooling in hungry delight. The Piedmon pulls out a sword as if he were ready to carve the boy up for his fellow virals.
"HEY YOU BETTER LET GO OF HIM DAMMIT!" Omega X screamed out from the top of his lungs.
(Play Yu Yu Hakusho BGM Sensui no Territory)
Seeing enough of the torture, Saitou turned towards the Dark Tunnel and placed a hand out towards it.
"When the judgment comes, you simple virals can eat whatever you like. Until then, don't spoil dinner."
With that said, the Dark Angel shots out a small ki ball directly towards the tunnel. Rather than causing a massive explosion, the energy ball disintegrated a majority of the virals around the interior wall. This included the Devimon who held Max from his barrier encasing. Omega X held back and let out a sigh of relief.
"C-class viral digimon and Corrupts are merely just seeds. They are widespread but worthless. But one out of every hundred ascends to the B-class, with brains and strength that can easily surpass any mega digimon and sovereign type," Saitou spoke. "Want to tell us first hand, Pikkan? Leomon? BW? Beelzebumon?"
The only reply Saitou received were frowns from the four. Beelzebumon had the urge to flip him the 'bird'.
"Legendary warriors? I know the two of you are already at the B-class. Takuya? Kouji?"
"Got that right! We're already transcended any normal digimon," Kaiser Greymon retorted. "We kicked Lucemon's butt and Susanoomon is surely past that B-class level!"
"Interesting. How about you, fusion warriors? It's no surprise all of you are already at the high B to the High-A class, right?"
"What's it to you, pal?!" Ultima X growled.
"Don't let him get to you. He's only trying to psyche you out," Sonja replied.
"How about you, Sonja? You were once a human and now you've transcended to a B-class thanks to some enhancements to your body."
"What?"
"And then from the B-Class, a handful take the next step in evolution," Saitou continued. "Intellect close to omnipotence, bodies of huge size and power. Similar to creatures fit for human legend like the Titans of Greek Myth."
"I'm already getting tired of you hearing you talk," growled Omega X.
"Yes, it's shut this fool up," Pikkan said. "You're speaking my mind, Tai."
"They are the A-Class Synisters," the Dark Angel stated. "They're most likely watching us at this very moment from the pits of the Dark Realm, waiting for the chance to rise to glory."
"Spare us the speech!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "You're gonna kill people you were supposed to protect! That includes my family, our families, our friends and many innocent people across our planet!"
"Not to mention our worlds!" Cyberleomon roared.
"My job was to protect the universe as a whole. Moreover, that's exactly what I'm doing. I've been trying to enlighten you, Taichi. Don't you remember the words from Doctor Akira? Humanity is a disease."
"Can you guys do this damn debate after you're through rescuing me?! For cripes sake!" Max calls out. "I can't take the smell from that tunnel!"
"Killing humans can't be that horrific to you, Taichi. You would have killed Doctor Akira if X hadn't been there. Let's not forget that Dorothy, the D-Reaper's reincarnation, killed a human girl already. Yamato killed Hideto."

"We had to," Omega X said. "It was for the sake of humanity's survival."
"And what if every human were bad?"
"Sorry, but I DON'T deal with what ifs," the warrior retorted.
With a smirk, the Dark Angel turned away from facing Omega X's group and had his back turned towards the lake. He called out to Sigma, who was still in the boat with Max.
(Play Yu Yu Hakusho BGM theme Door to Makai)
"Mr. Sigma," Saitou said.
"Yes?!"
Sigma leaps out from the boat and makes a perfect landing onto the shores. He walks up towards Neo and Saitou while standing by for orders.
"That's… That's Sigma the Gourmet," Rei whispered.
"Oh great. Does he cook?" Beetlemon asked.
"This guy doesn't look tough. We can take him," Koriikakkumon replied.
"Why are they sending this guy after all the monsters we've just gone through?" Loweemon wondered.
"They must be out of their damn minds if they're sending a kid on us," Zephrymon said.
"Let's always be prepared just in case. He and Saitou might tag team on us," Kaiser Greymon replied. "Plus it would be Saitou we would have to worry about anyway."
"I'm inclined to agree with them," Sakuyamon spoke. "What do you say, Gallantmon?"
"Well, at least it's easy work for us."
"But why send this guy in?" Omega X wondered.
"Listen up, Digi-Destined. Tamers. Legendary warriors. If you can kill Mr. Sigma right now, I'll give Max back to you, unharmed," Saitou announced.
"What the?!" Ultima X exclaimed. "All of us against him?! We'd slaughter him!"
"I can take this guy alone if I have to," Keke said while cracking her knuckles.
"Leave me with him. I won't have any problems killing another misguided human," said Dorothy.
"Yeah! Say yes! Say yes! Anything to save me!" Max cried out. "Besides that asshole wouldn't give me anything to eat!"
"It's your choice, fellas. If you refuse the challenge, I'll deflect any other attack you make by using Max as a human shield," the Dark Angel announced.
Sigma pops his neck before stepping forward and walking pas Saitou rather calmly. He showed no sign of fear since his emotions were sealed behind an odd-looking mask.
"Clever tactic, Mr. Saitou," Neo thought. "Control their actions making them believe they have a chance. Instead of trying to predict their next move, you make it for them. Ha, I'm enjoying this quite well. Just look at Taichi. Even he doesn't have the gull to take another human life, especially that of a child like Sigma."
As Sigma was walking towards the group, Omega X and Gallantmon were the first to respond. Keke stepped forward along with them.
"Don't trust him, guys," Mystic Celesta said to the group. "We'll find an opening and take Max back. But act like you've bought his story."
"Good idea, Hikari," Dorothy said with a nod. "Hear that, Taichi?"
With a single nod, Omega X had a smile on his face and wiped his forehead in relief. He had just learned that his sister had to endure two tough battles against Lamiamon and Virus. Virus pushed her over the edge and nearly killed her in the process. She still felt slightly strained from the fight but remained calm for the time being.
"Kari's got her cool back. Good. We can't afford to have her flipping out due to the darkness coming out of that hole. Same with TK."
(End theme)
Before Sigma prepared to do battle with the warriors, he stopped and made eye contact with his former partner in crime, Rei Saiba. He cleared his throat and spoke in a rather low tone of voice.
"Touching, Rei Saiba. Your head is just full of thoughts about how to rescue Max. But if you try anything funny, your brother and Mr. Saitou might change their minds."
"What? I don't get it!"
"After all, Mr. Saitou said he could give him back after you defeat me."
Rei remained rather taken back and shivered in fear. The mysterious masked boy turned his attention over to Mystic Celesta with slight interest.
"And as for the one named Mystic Celesta AKA Hikari Kamiya…"
Mystic Celesta stood her ground and began to feel out a strange vibe from within Sigma. It was a rather unpleasant yet a very familiar dark ki. It's something even the Gatomon within her would remember. Sigma spoke out and already had given a clue as to who really was behind his interior mind and body.
"Tell me, my dear Gatomon… Do you really think you could kill another human being? You seem to be torn up over the idea."
That sentence alone had caused great unnerve within Mystic Celesta. Her eyes narrowed coldly. Even the other warriors were taken back. Omega X looks over to Sigma and back to his sister.
"The truth is, you would be furious if you were the one to kill Mari rather than Dorothy, am I right? You would have jumped at the chance. However, Dorothy did it for you. I thought I taught you well…"
"That bastard! He's moving from one thing right to the other!" Omega X thought. "It's almost as if he could read our minds…"
"Who the heck is this guy?! How does he know Gatomon?!" Gallantmon asked. "Kari! Do you know?!"
Not replying to the crimson knight's question, Mystic Celesta remained frozen yet her eyes gave off a cold stare.
"The only one normal human who could do that was… Oh no! Mr. Oikawa?!" Omega X thought.
"BINGO!" Sigma answered while already probing the warrior's mind. "That's affirmative. I swallowed that Oikawa guy's mind reading ability. Plus you've been wondering where he's been lately."
Flashback
Several days ago, on the same day, Tai defeated Doctor Akira, Yukio Oikawa had escaped from the hospital while being chased down by a strange individual. That person would eventually reveal himself as Sigma the Gourmet.
Finding himself trapped into a wall within an alleyway, Oikawa turned around to find Sigma looming over him. A fat smile widened underneath his mask. Then, the boy removed his mask to reveal a hideously large mouth widening across his mouth, as if he were a constrictor snake. All traces of humanity were gone as far as Sigma was concerned. His mouth widened and started swallowing up Oikawa whole through his mouth. He clasped his hands around the helpless man and swallowed even further down until Oikawa's whole body entered through Sigma's mouth. There was nothing left of the man, not even his shoes. Sigma finished his full course meal.
Sigma had just performed one of the most sickening displays of human cannibalism ever described.
End of flashback
The group was sickened after the whole explanation Sigma had given them about swallowing Oikawa whole. The ladies, excluding Mystic Celesta, held their stomachs in sickness. The males were just as sickened yet were angry. Omega X stepped forward with his hands coated with ki.
"That's sick!" Kaiser Greymon growled.
"I've just lost my lunch after hearing that!" Beetlemon shuddered.
"I can't believe this! No wonder why we haven't heard from Mr. Oikawa lately!" BW said. "I can't bear to look at this guy any longer."
"THAT GUY ATE MR. OIKAWA?!" Max cried out in anger. "OH, THAT'S IT! DAD! WASTE THIS BASTARD!"
"Tai…?" Gallantmon said as he made eye contact with the warrior.
"Eating my team mate?! Well, I'm definitely going to kick your ass!" Omega X snapped.
Just then, a hand was placed onto Omega X's shoulder. He turns around to find Mystic Celesta, who now possessed a cold demeanor. No longer was she calm, caring or even remorseful as she normally would.
"I'll take this one, Tai. Don't even argue with me. I'm not in the mood."
"Um… Kari? Are you sure you want this?"
"Yes!"
"I've never seen Kari like this," Gallantmon said. "It's like she's become a different person. Look at her eyes."
"Never thought I'd see the day Kari loses her kind nature," Sakuyamon replied. "This guy probed her mind. Yet, she's not telling us something. Maybe she knows something about Sigma that we have no idea about."
"Or maybe she's in denial?" Beelzebumon asked.
"Whatever it is, Kari has her sights set," War Angemon reminded everyone.
"Kari. I just hope you and Gatomon know what you're doing," Omega X thought.
Mystic Celesta stood out at the center away from her group. Standing a few feet away was Sigma, at his enigmatic glory. Neo and Saitou were observing the confrontation from the distance. Dark Angel was interested to see whether the angel of light would ever lower herself to taking a human life for the sake of humanity's survival. Pressure was weighed heavily on her shoulders and thoughts ran through her mind.
"Aunt Kari… I've never seen you like this," Max thought. "Would you ever lower yourself to their standards? No, I doubt it. You're the holder to the crest of light."
"Dad? What do you think about this?" Keke asked her father.
"We'll see. It's an interesting development. Considering this is the first time Kari will have to take a human life," Metalla X explained.
"Kari. Will you actually do what I just did with Mari?" Dorothy wondered. "Even this is unlike your normal nature. You yourself can't stand to see anyone in pain. So, why the sudden urge to take this chance? This is what Saitou wants."
"Exactly. He just wants to see if Kari has the stomach in killing another human being," said Mega Gargomon. "That creep could care less if another one of his pals get slaughtered like sheep."
"Kari. I can't do anything to change your mind. So do what you will," Omega X informed his sister.
The angelic warrior didn't even respond to her father and kept her eyes directly onto Sigma. Her eyes became darkened until letting out a sigh of relief. The timer on the DVD player on top of Saitou's television was already past three minutes. Only seventeen minutes remain until the tunnel reaches its final phase. It's now or never…
Yards Away from Demon's Cavern. 7:42 P.M.
Traveling a long distance through the forests was hard for Ryo and Monodramon. The dragon was determined to arrive at the caverns and there wasn't anything that was going to stop him. Ryo trips over a rock and bumps his head onto the ground.
"Ow!"
"Ryo! Get up! We can't let anything stand in our way! We're getting closer to the caverns as we speak!"
"I'm sorry…"
"Fool, you're going to be sorry if we arrive too late. I have to get there just a little after the tunnel actually opens. Then, everything shall be set into motion once I return to the Dark Realm and crush those insolent humans. Saitou. I take it you are handling the situation for now until my arrival. Hold them off as much as you can. It's only a matter of time before I regain control of his operation…"
"Monodramon. Sorry but that. Shall we continue on?"
"Yes, let's do so."
With that said, Ryo walked through the brush with Monodramon accompanying him. They were only about several miles away from the caverns. Nevertheless, at the rate they're traveling, they should arrive there a little later after the tunnel actually opens. This is what the being within Monodramon was hoping.
Saitou's Lair. 7:43 P.M.
The facedown was still underway with a minute passing. Mystic Celesta was standing firm with thoughts clouding her mind. The calm and collected Sigma waited patiently for his adversary to make her first move. The angelic warrior knew that she could easily kill Sigma but would she lower herself to Saitou's standards to take a human life? Even her friends were already questioning her motives since this was out of Kari's character.
"Kari… You can always change your mind and let us go through with this," Gallantmon said.
"No, you leave this with her. She knows what she's doing," War Angemon reassured him.
"But that's a human boy she's facing! If she kills him, then it's unforgivable!" Zephrymon exclaimed.
"We have no choice," Kaiser Greymon said. "Either we split out of here or we stop that tunnel. Either way I'm not going to let some kid be a roadblock to our mission."
"I agree. There's nothing else we can do," Magna Garurumon replied. "He's been taught to hate humanity. So we can't even attempt to talk him out of it."
"If only there was another way," Rei sighed. "Oh, Neo…"
"I can tell my sister has been upset over the turn of events lately. I mean she just got back from two heavy battles. One with Lamiamon and the other with Virus. Plus, she had to sit to watch a human girl die at her very own game," Omega X thought. "Whatever that runt said to Kari managed to piss her off. Kari, I hope you know what you're doing. He can read your mind thoroughly."
Just then, Mystic Celesta was the first to initiate her move. She puts out a hand and quickly creates a whip created from out of her own ki. She held it across with her hands and closed her eyes. Almost immediately, she underwent a meditation state but kept her thoughts clouded. Omega X and the others remained unaware of her motives. Even Sigma was having difficulty probing her mind.
"That's very strange. The voice inside her mind has stopped…"
Within a split millisecond, Mystic Celesta threw her ki whip across and manages to wrap it around Sigma's upper jaw. The boy gasped in shock at the swift movement of her whip. The group was stunned at what they had just seen. She had gone through with implementing an attack. However, that was not all she wrote. Mystic Celesta pulled on the ki whip and quickly slices Sigma's upper jaw through like meat. Sigma didn't even have a chance to utter a single gasp. The upper portion of his head went flying across the caverns while the headless body was staggering backwards with blood spewing out.
Everyone, excluding Beelzebumon, BW, Cyberleomon and Pikkan, were stunned at the turn of events that have unfolded. Sakuyamon, Keke and Zephrymon shuddered at the sight. The most effected by this were Omega X, Gallantmon, War Angemon and Ultima X.
"Don't tell she just did it!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"Afraid so, Davis," replied War Angemon.
"The same Kari who taught me to become a better friend to Guilmon? The same Kari who became my friend?" Gallantmon gasped.
"My sis… Did this? Of all people?" Omega X stuttered. "My sister is the last person I would ever think would pull something like this…"
"She had no choice," Dorothy reminded him. "It was either kill or get killed. Sigma didn't even have a chance."
Mystic Celesta pulls back on her whip and receives it back. The headless body plopped across the cavern floor with blood spewing out through the lower jaw. The angel of light's sudden actions stunned Saitou and Neo. Hikari had just taken the life of a human boy, but for what reason. A revelation would immediately become into light of her cutthroat action.
"Tell me that I didn't just see that!" Beetlemon freaked out.
"You did," Loweemon said.
"I can't believe she actually did it though," Korrikakkumon replied.
"She took out Sigma out so quickly yet swiftly," stated Rei. "I couldn't even tell what she just did!"
"She used a whip created from her own ki," Pikkan explained. "Then she sliced his head in half. I may not show favoritism to humans but even I can't lower myself to killing one."
"So, what do you have to say for yourself, Tai? Your sister just murdered a kid!" Gallantmon asked. "I don't think I can look her in the eye anymore…"
"No, there has to be a reason behind this. Otherwise, this would be completely out of Kari's character," Sonja stated.
"She took out Sigma in a split millisecond," Omega X thought. "My sis… She's turned completely cold-hearted. Of all people, why did it have to be you?"
Stepping towards Sigma's headless corpse, Mystic Celesta looks down at her fallen enemy and has a serious demeanor. No longer did she possess the eyes of an innocent angel but a cold-hearted soul.
"Rely on impulse, and not even your thoughts can betray you. Now come out… VAMDEMON!"
As soon as he revealed the true monster behind Sigma, the Digi-Destined within the group gasped out in shock. Omega X, Metalla X and War Angemon were caught by complete surprise. They couldn't even recognize Myotismon's ki from within Sigma nor did they pick up his scent. This was the same Myotismon had sent his forces to find the eighth child. However, Mystic Celesta was the first to see through to Sigma's true character. The Gatomon within the mystic female warrior was quick to notice her former master's ki. In fact, it was Gatomon and not Kari who ruthlessly murdered Sigma. She knew the boy was no longer human.
"Myotismon?!" Omega X exclaimed. "The one we defeated when he attacked our home?!"
"Well, there was just one," Metalla X said. "No, there was another one. I killed a different Myotismon. This has to be the actual one."
"That bastard was actually Sigma?!" War Angemon growled. "Of all the people, why did he have to come back?!"
"Well, villains are notorious for making returns," BW said. "Burizalor and Virus have proven that fact."
Mystic Celesta's eyes became transfixed over the headless corpse.
"Did you think I wouldn't notice, Myotismon? I could smell your stench as soon as we entered the cave," the female hissed.
(Play Megaman X theme Vile's Intro)
With that said, the headless corpse started to convulse in laughter. Mystic Celesta was quick to notice the vampire lord's deep laughter inside the body. The corpse sits up like an awakened zombie and stands up on its feet. The lower jaw itself spewed out more blood once a 'head' emerged through. Its face was pale with purple lipstick across his lips. A red mask covered his eyes and shaggy, blonde hair dangled across his face. The eyes opened to reveal majestic yet sinister blue eyes. He gives a toothy grin and bellowed out in laughter. Yes, Myotismon has returned after many years of dormancy and sets his sights on the warriors with interest. However, it was Mystic Celesta, which he was most interested. He licked his lips thoroughly. The vampire lord of darkness has finally come back to the… surface. Myotismon's head emerged and managed to keep Sigma's body intact.
(End theme)
"NO WAY! IT IS HIM!" Max exclaimed.
"I can't believe this bastard is still alive after this whole time," growled Metalla X.
"Ah, good, Gatomon. You and the child of light's powers have grown dramatically. You even managed to undergo the legendary digital fusion. I commend you. Though, you look much tastier than you did when you were Angewomon! Now come here my pretty! Ha!"
"Perverted bastard," Sakuyamon growled.
"Damn! I guess he missed his villain vaccination!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"All right, guys! There's only one of him! We can easily take him out!" Gallantmon said. "Shoot, even Keke could do it, right?"
"Hell yeah."
"We better leave this with Kari. This is hers and Gatomon's fight," Cyberleomon replied.
"Sigma must have eaten him to take his powers!" Rei said.
"That's right, little Ice Maker. But much to this fool's disappointment, I'm the one who got the run of the ship!"
"Then, you… This whole time…?!"
"Ah, yes. I play a good game of pretend. My story all started nearly twenty years ago… I was in a battle with these Digi-Destined fools. More specifically with the eighth child. I'm sure you remember correctly, Gatomon. Hikari. Painful memories aren't they?"
Mystic Celesta remained calm despite wanting to murder Myotismon at first sight.
"Yes, but my crusade was halted once the wench got hold of the crest of light. Gatomon digivolved into Angewomon and destroyed me in the process. I managed to reform myself into my mega form, Venom Myotismon. I had gained omnipotent strength and was close to taking the human world. Unfortunately, the prophecy was foretold that the angels of hope and light would bring a miracle. Thus, War Greymon and Metal Garurumon were created. I was defeated by those two cheaters. The last portions of my data took refuge into the coastal waters away from the TV station. It took many years for me to reform my actual body until I found a host. Yukio Oikawa. I needed a body to reform my former self back. However, I soon realized that Oikawa was aging along the process and I needed a younger body to possess. So, I came across Saitou. He offered to give me a chance to find a younger body and to help me extract my revenge on you, Digi-Destined. Isn't that how you remember it, Saitou?"
"When Myotismon told me about the many achievements of Taichi Kamiya and his comrades, I could feel the hands of the universe tugging at my arm. That feeling became a conviction. I decided that now was the time to put my plan into action. I would now begin to the sentencing of mankind…"
Saitou started to have many thoughts of world wide cities across earth becoming plunged by the Dark Realm's most powerful monsters. He pictured Armageddon and the dusk of humanity. Death. Torture. Fear. Terror. The Judgment upon the human race. It was what Saitou set his plan towards.
"So, Saitou recruited a bunch of Spell Casters with special abilities to join his cause," Myotismon explained. "One of them even included this poor idiot I have his body possessed here. The guy's ability is sickening. I should know, I was eaten by him! Saitou and I agreed that my regeneration was taking too long. So once he and Millenniumon stole the digicores, they created me the power of immortality but I would first have to reform my body as a whole. We made Sigma believe that I was the one being betrayed but alas, that was just a ploy. He never saw it coming. The poor fool has no idea what he had swallowed. In fact, I'm like a cockroach with a brain. From the time he realized that was he was being taken over, living in collaboration with him has been so much fun! I could tell Sigma's terror like it was the back of my hand! HA! It felt so good! HA! HA!"
"This guy deserves to die if you ask me!" Kaiser Greymon growled.
"You're telling me! Kari! Take him down!" exclaimed Magna Garurumon.
"That… is enough," hissed Mystic Celesta.
"What's that, my dear Gatomon?" Myotismon said.
Myotismon found himself being encircled by Mystic Celesta, who possessed predatory eyes. He stood his ground and wondered what the angelic female had in store for him.
"Myotismon… You have lived for far too long…"
"Kari. Be careful," Gallantmon whispered.
"And so it ends for you…"
"HA! Ha! Uh, oh! Look! The wench thinks she can finish me where she left off! HA! HA!" the villain laughed. "But I'm better than before!"
"That's right. He even said that he wished for immortality through the digicores before Millenniumon tainted them," Sakuyamon whispered.
"Child of light! Don't take me for the same digimon I was before! After what you and your retched friends did to me only made me stronger! I can regenerate myself endlessly, and I have the ability to absorb any technique! Even if you blew me into atoms, I'll still come back! I'm invincible! HA! HA!"
"Great an old bastard who can't die," Omega X thought. "Plus he's got the powers of Sigma and Mr. Oikawa."
"Yes, plus he can regenerate endlessly and has gained immortality," said War Angemon. "Not matter how much powerful Kari has become, Myotismon will keep returning from the dead. He won't ever die!"
"Then we've got to save her!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"I'm with you on that. Let's go, Sakuyamon!" Mega Gargomon said.
"No," the golden armored female nodded. "This is Hikari's battle. She must settle the long score with this monster."
"But…"
"No, buts," Metalla X replied. "She can handle this herself."
"HA! Thanks to this fool, I can absorb any power I wish! In fact, I'll start with yours, Child of Light! Prepare yourself! AHH!"
(Play Megaman X theme Sigma's Rage)
With that said, Myotismon levitated from the ground and launched himself across at his old adversary. The female remained firm and calm despite the villain lunging for her. He throws his hand out and shoots across a red lighting bolt.
"CRIMSON LIGHTNING!"
"Please. That is so out of date…"
Mystic Celesta easily phases out from the shot and reappears behind Myotismon. The vampire lord charges forward and spits out a horde of bats through his mouth.
"GRISLY WING!"
Mystic Celesta puts one hand out and easily disperses the bat horde with her aura. After that, she drops her hands down. Smoke suddenly started to spew out from under her gloves. They were both surrounded by a smoke fog.
"What's with the smoke?!" Max exclaimed. "Aunt Kari!"
"Since when did Kari have roach spray under her sleeve?" Omega X wondered.
"No, you fool," quipped Metalla X. "It's a smoke screen."
"Smoke screen? I've never seen Kari use this technique."
"It's because she was saving this just in case ol' fang face shows up again," War Angemon said.
"So you knew about this, TK?" asked Gallantmon.
"That's right."
"Well, I'm impressed," Dorothy said.
"Should have thought of this one myself," Sonja replied.
"But I like the sound of roach spray better," chuckled Ultima X.
"Davis, don't be such an idiot," muttered Sonja.
"What?! I just said that it sounded better than a smoke screen. Raid on my parade why don't you?"
"Whatever…"
"Well, it's definitely working," Kaiser Greymon said.
"But how is she going to see him?" Keke wondered. "She can just always sense him out."
"I'd like to know that one myself," said Rei.
(End theme)
Deep inside the thickening smoke fog, Myotismon found himself in no digimon's territory. He looked across in search of the female.
"Child of light. It's no use. Thanks to the mind-reading ability that Sigma swallowed, your composure will cost you your own life. Earlier, you lost yourself in your own rage, and for a moment, your mind's voice was silenced. But now… Now that your voice speaks of nothing but you're conniving, I can hear you clearly."
The vampire lord was correct on his assumption and probed through on Mystic Celesta's mind.
"I'll hide myself in this smoke, and rely on his ki/scent to draw closer to him. If he catches me, I'll be taken over by him, body and all."
"Yes. Behind me… Five meters."
Quickly turning around, Myotismon laughed and sensed out Mystic Celesta's ki.
"Ah-ha! I've found you! I know exactly what you're going to do!"
(Play Megaman X theme Boss Battle)
Myotismon charges forward through the smoke to find Mystic Celesta caught off guard. He throws his right hand across and plunges it through her chest. The female gasped out as blood spewed out in a gory mess. A sadistic grin forms across the vampire's face as he got a taste of her blood.
"AH-HA! SCORE! REVENGE IS MINE!"
Mystic Celesta's head lowered in a lifeless state and blood dripped from her mouth.
"I DID IT! NOW DIE, CHILD OF LIGHT! DIE!"
However, his celebration was short-lived once Mystic Celesta lifted her head up. An evil grin twisted on the female's face.
"Oh? Did you just say something, Vamdemon?"
"WHAT?!"
Myotismon removes his hands from out of Mystic Celesta's chest and growled angrily.
"Stop acting so tough, you wench! How do you like this?!"
With a loud cry, Myotismon sharpened the claws through Sigma's hands and slashes across at Mystic Celesta. Each slash created a gash across her chest and caused more gore to spew out. Despite his efforts, the female was still not falling down to her knees and was putting up quite a resilient effort. Myotismon was beginning to lose his calm composure. He was just realizing that his adversary was not anywhere near death despite the amount of blood she has been losing. She's even surviving a fatal wound through her chest.
"What's wrong with you?! Why don't you scream and die, wench?! DIE DAMN YOU!"
The vampire slashed across at the female a few more times with more efficiency. Everyone else were standing firm but couldn't stand to hear the sounds of flesh being ripped apart.
"That's it! I'm going in!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"No wait. Just hold on. Kari knows what she's doing. I've seen what she can do with this technique. It's going to blow your mind," said War Angemon.
"I'll take your word for it."
"What the hell is going on in there?!" Omega X wondered.
"All I can hear is Myotismon's pansy ass screaming," said Ultima X replied. "I can't even hear Kari and Gatomon anymore."
"Well, that's it! I'm going in!" Omega X exclaimed. "If it pisses off my sister, then she can sue me!"
"No, wait," Metalla X replied as he put a hand out in front of his former rival. "Take a look."
Another gust of smoke appeared outside the smoke screen. A lone figure emerged out and it was Mystic Celesta. She was completely unscathed. No cuts, scratches or a fatal wound on her chest.
"Aunt Kari!" Max cried out.
"You're all right! But what the heck is going on inside that smoke?" asked Keke.
"Thank goodness, Kari," Omega X sighed a relief.
"The deed has been done," Mystic Celesta said while motioning towards the smoke screen.
"What's that supposed to mean? I'd sure like to know who the hell Myotismon's been fighting," Ultima X sighed.
"What's he even screaming at?" Beetlemon wondered.
"Why don't you keep your pants on and wait?" suggested Beelzebumon.
(End theme)
Once the smoke screen dissipated, the mystery character which Myotismon has been fighting has been revealed. In fact, it wasn't even a warrior. Myotismon was held bound into a tree with a ghoulish face on the front. Some vines had wrapped themselves around the vampire lord. Tentacle probes were attached to his head. Myotismon was screaming in agony. Everyone was surprised by this sudden turn of events. One moment it was 'Mystic Celesta' being attacked by Myotismon, and now he has been bound against a demonic-like tree. Even Saitou was interested to know what the female had managed to ensnare the vampire lord with. It was a brilliant tactic on the female's part.
"ARGH! WHY WON'T YOU DIE?! DAMN YOU, GATOMON!"
(Repeat YYH theme Door to Makai)
"Yo! Can someone tell me what the heck that thing is attached to Myotismon?!" asked Zephrymon.
"I'd sure like to learn how to use that," Kaiser Greymon said.
"Interesting tactic, Hikari," Pikkan commended the female.
"So, will you tell us what that thing is?" asked Loweemon.
"It's the Janeju tree, or as I like to call it: the sinning tree," Mystic Celesta revealed.
"The sinning tree? Damn, sounds pretty heavy," Ultima X commented.
"It snares your mind with hallucinations of wickedness, while it sucks away your life."
"Whoa, that's freaky," Omega X said. "Never thought I'd see this from you. So he still thinks he's fighting you. Even now?"
"That's right."
"But how did you get him hooked up like that?" asked Gallantmon.
"I used a holy seed to plant inside of Sigma's head when I ripped off his skull with my ki whip."
"Wow, talk about planting 'ahead'," snickered BW.
"Pretty gruesome, but it got the job done," Sakuyamon said.
"But you still killed a boy!" Mega Gargomon retorted out of anger.
"No, that boy was no longer human. Myotismon had completely taken him over. All I did was punish Myotismon for his deeds," Mystic Celesta replied.
"I commend you, Kari," Metalla X replied. "That smoke screen was not just to mask your whereabouts but it was simply a catalyst for the tree's hallucinations to take effect."
"I didn't want to leave things to chance," sighed Mystic Celesta.
"Alas, that takes care of Myotismon for good," War Angemon stated.
On the other hand, Saitou merely smirked and turned away.
"Well, she's certainly something. Isn't she, Mr. Neo?"
"That look on Hikari's eyes… She didn't want to go through with this but had no choice. She knew very well an old enemy had completely taken over Sigma. Taichi's sister is really still a soft-hearted individual. Kind of reminds me of my dear sister, Rei. However at this instance, deep within her heart lies an unfathomable luggage of affection and carnage… I guess it's no wonder that something like Oikawa's mind-reading ability couldn't read into the depths of her mind," Neo thought.
Myotismon's screams still continued to echo through the caverns. His face became twisted with pain and fear.
"The tree's effects will not stop until the host is dead. But you even said yourself, Myotismon, you granted yourself immortality using Azulongmon's digicores. You are unable to die now."
"ARGH! I'M LOSING MY ENERGY!"
"Vamdemon. You will suffer for eternity down here. Torn between your hate and your agony. And so be it… Rogues like you deserve to be damned."
Those words alone have changed the child of light forever. She kept a cold glare on the vampire lord. Her anger has sentenced Myotismon to eternal damnation.
"Now this is getting too heavy for me," Beelzebumon said. "Let's make sure to stay on her good side from now on."
"Agreed," Cyberleomon replied.
"NO! I'LL KILL YOU! WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?" Myotismon screamed throughout the caverns.
"Such a malignant soul will never accept the truth, Myotismon," Mystic Celesta answered. "The more he lashes out at his soul, the more painful the tree's effects eventually become."
"CHILD OF LIGHT! NO! I'LL FINISH YOU!"
Before he had another chance to struggle, the tree wrapped itself further around Myotismon. The vampire lord became constricted and eventually consumed by the tree's vines.
"Quite ironic. Only your own sins will hurt you," War Angemon stated.
"Ok, sis. If I did anything to piss you off, then sorry," Omega X said.
"Yeah, same here," Ultima X chuckled.
Saitou motions over to Neo and gives him a signal.
"Neo. You can summon your friend now."
"Yes."
As Neo turned around, a shadowy form crept behind the dark tunnel and trailed through towards the lake. Unbeknownst to Max, the shadowy figure was getting closer to him.
"Now only two remain in our path," Gallantmon growled. "Then we have to deal with Millenniumon at some point, too."
"Can't forget about him," replied Omega X. "Hear that, Saitou?! Your scheme ends here, asshole!"
"Hell, I trust you don't want to become Kari's next meal for her plant!" Ultima X said.
"Give my son back like you promised!"
"Release him and don't try anything funny!" demanded Keke.
"No need to get heated, Taichi," answered Saitou. "I've kept my word. He's no longer in my possession."
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Kaiser Greymon snapped.
(End theme)
Floating behind Saitou was the boat, but it was completely empty. There were no traces of Max anymore. It was as if he disappeared from the cavern itself.
"Oh no!" Dorothy cried out. "He's gone!"
"But I never saw him move," Sonja gasped.
"You lying bastard!" cursed Omega X.
Saitou motions over towards the right side as if letting them know where he hid their prized possession. Keke was quick to point out and was the first to find Max. Soon, everyone else turned to where the girl pointed out.
"It's Max! Over there!"
"Well, it's about time you guys saved me!" Max quipped.
"Max! The heck are you doing over there?!" Omega X calls out to his son.
The entire group ran towards the boy and gathered around him. Ultima X summoned his sword and slices through the red barrier covering Max. The boy let out a sigh of relief and hopped into his father's arms. A heart-warming reunion took place between the father and his beloved son.
"Dad! Thanks for rescuing me!"
"We did have a lot of guys trying to stop us but we kicked their asses. I'm just glad you're all right, Max."
"I missed you, dad!"
"So tell me, Max. How on earth did you get over here?" asked Magna Garurumon.
"Yeah. One minute you were in the boat and then you vanished," War Angemon said.
"I don't know really. One second I was sitting in the boat and the next I was here," the boy explained.
"Did you see anything in particular?" Mystic Celesta asked.
"Tell us. We need to know what we're going to deal with next," said Gallantmon.
"Well…"
"Hold that. Take a look at this!" Metalla X said.
Before anyone could even mutter a single word, the entire crew found themselves underneath a large shadow. At the center, a huge pair of lips materialized. It looked as though they were standing on top of a human face.
"Ok, this qualifies as another thing on my 'weird' list," Beetlemon panicked.
Next, a pair of eyes opened up at the top of the 'face'. Neo was standing across from the shadow face with his arms thrown up. He raises his left hand down and 'orders' the mouth to open. The crew found themselves getting sucked through the mouth.
"Oh man! Yeah! There goes another one!" Koriikakkumon remarked.
The group all screamed out as they were falling through the mouth and down deep into a long tunnel. The warriors tried putting up their auras and attempted to fly out. Unfortunately, due to Neo's territorial rules, even their most specialized techniques are ultimately blocked out. That includes flight and teleportation. They continued falling through the long, wacky carnival-like tunnel.
The shadow face closed its mouth, chewed its mouth and let out an unpleasant burp. Next, it slivered across the caverns and stopped against a cavern wall. Finally, the shadow face spat out one individual out of the whole team. It was Omega X. He found himself flying out and lands face first into the dirt.
"Damn… This place doesn't even have padding for landing. Stupid…"
Suddenly, the warrior noticed Neo 'melting' through the ground. He completely vanished out but not long before he left a final note to Omega X.
"I'll let you two settle this alone. Have fun, Taichi!"
With Neo gone, Saitou flips up into the air and lands right in front of Omega X. The warrior of courage jumps backward while putting up his guard.
"I don't know what the hell you did to my son and friends, but I'll tell you this now! For everyone you hurt, I'm tearing a body part off of you!"
"You're misunderstanding, Taichi. Your son and friends are completely unharmed. I'm not even interested in their fates. I don't want distractions. This is how it should be. One on one."
"So, then it's time? Our fated showdown? The main event?"
"That's correct, Taichi. May our fated battle soon commence with fifteen minutes left to spare."
Outside the Caverns. 7:45 P.M.
Standing outside the caverns, Sora and Mimi stood at the entrance with worrisome glares. Both had hoped for their families to return quickly and safely. Shintomon kneeled beside Lady Moinanea as the demigoddess put her head onto his shoulder. Gosenzomon pulls out his viewing orb to get a glance of the situation. Finally, after a few disconnections, he successfully managed to get a picture perfect view of the inside caverns.
"Everyone! Gather around! I've managed to get footage from inside the cavern!" Gosenzomon calls out to everyone.
"This is great! Now we can witness Taichi and his friends confronting the human," Buddamon said.
"What?! You mean he actually is going to let us watch a fight inside the caverns?!" Kazu exclaimed. "Yo, Kenta. We bad better check this out!"
"Yeah, it's going to be so cool seeing Takato and the others taking care of business. Though, they should have brought us along."
"This should prove to be some entertaining fun!" Guardromon gleed.
"Pi! Pi!"
"Hey, wait up!" Suzie calls out after awakening. "Let's go, Lopmon!"
"Uh… Can we sleep just a little longer?"
"This is great news. I was just worried about Tai and Max for a moment there," Sora said.
"How's Matt and Keke doing?!" asked Mimi.
"Hang on. We'll tell you as soon as we find out who's currently in the caverns," Izzy replied.
The viewing orb displays a perfect view of the caverns. Both Omega X and Saitou were shown to be yards away from one another. Behind them was a large, shadow face pasted against the wall and the tunnel.
"So far. I'm only seeing Taichi and Saitou," Shintomon said. "But… where are the others?"
"Inside an Uraotoko," Gosenzomon answered.
"You mean that big face on the wall?!" Hercules Kabuterimon exclaimed.
"An Urao-what now?" Mummymon asked as he yawned. "Sorry, but I was asleep…"
"An Uraotoko! You dolt!" snapped Arukenimon. "Wake up!"
"I've heard about those. They're demons who travel in between dimensions," Black Gatomon said. "So you think the others are trapped inside that thing against the wall of that cavern?"
"Exactly, which means it will be a one on one encounter between Tai and Saitou," the elder Omnimon answered.
"But, what about the kids?!" Jeri asked.
"Inside the Uraotoko. They're just fine. What we should do now is watch this historic battle commence. According to Lady Moinanea's prophecy, the battle between the Dark Angel and the One commences near the supposed end of days. Well, the battle is at hand. We're close to the possible end of days. Only one fate will be determined. Let's hope Tai can win the day, free the others from the Uraotoko and prevent that tunnel from opening. It's going to take a miracle with only about fifteen minutes left to spare."
"C'mon, Tai! You can do it," Joe muttered.
"Kick that no good creep around like you do with soccer balls, Tai! I know I'm going to get a good kick out it," snickered Gomamon.
"As optimistic as I am, Tai just better not become overconfident. It'll come back to haunt him," Cody said.
"Nah. He knows what he has to do, Cody. Just believe in him," Armadillomon replied.
"Gosenzomon. For our sake, I hope you're assumptions are correct," Sora said. "C'mon, Tai. I know you can beat this maniac! I want you to kick his ass for kidnapping our Max!"
"X. I just hope you get there in time to use that emerald. We can't afford to lose Taichi," Shintomon said. "With his comrades trapped inside that Uraotoko, he's fighting a one-man war. His fate lies in your hands."
Deep Within the Caverns. 7:45 P.M.
Deep within the caverns, X followed along the trail of Hikari stones left by Gatomon earlier. He used them to follow out the trail through to reach towards Tai and his team. Little did he realize that his two apprentices were set to clash with one another in their fated showdown.
"Brilliant move on your part, Gatomon. If I rely on these to keep going, I won't end up getting lost. Guys! Hang in there as soon as I can!"
Deep Within Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:45 P.M.
The majestic territory of Neo was barren and practically a wasteland. There was no land to stand on but the gravity was immensely strong. Debris of stone and other large objects floated around. It was just as eerie as the caverns itself, but it seemed even more frightening like a nightmare come to life.
Finally awakening, the entire group found themselves inside Neo's territory. Rei was the first figure this out.
"Are we inside my brother's territory?!"
Elsewhere across the scenery, Max and Keke reunited together. Alongside them were Metalla X, Mystic Celesta, Ultima X, War Angemon, Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, Mega Gargomon, Sonja, Dorothy, Beelzebumon, Pikkan, BW, Cyberleomon, Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon, Zephrymon, Korikkakumon, Beetlemon, and Loweemon. They, too, were stunned by their sudden appearance within this mysterious territory.
"Um, care to explain where we are?" asked Ultima X.
"We're in subspace by the looks of it," Pikkan said.
"Really?! You mean that?!" asked Beetlemon. "We're trapped here forever!"
"Oh, quit your bellyaching," sighed Zephrymon.
"There must be a way out of here," Sakuyamon looked around her whereabouts.
"I just hope no ugly monster decides to ambush us," Mega Gargomon replied. "Or for that matter, another giant mouth. Finally, there's something with a larger appetite than mine."
"And that's a bad thing?" quipped Gallantmon.
"Hey, where did my dad go?" Max asked. "He was with us a moment ago and then he vanished!"
"It would appear that we've been swallowed up by an Uraotoko," Metalla X said. "I've read about these through legendary tales."
"Uraotoko? What's that?" Keke asked her father.
"An Uraotoko is a planar demon that lives between dimensions."
"I can't believe this was of coincidence. Someone must have tamed it," Dorothy said.
"Yes, you are yet correct," a familiar voice calls out.
Appearing before the entire crew was Neo Saiba. He placed his arms down and forms a sinister grin.
"This Uraotoko is my pet."
"Brother!" Rei calls out. "It's me!"
"Yes, but you are no sister to me anymore ever since you betrayed us to join these human fools."
"But…"
"Hey, lay off! I hate seeing brothers and sisters fighting!" Mystic Celesta snapped.
"Well, Matt and I did get into arguments often," sighed War Angemon.
"So, does that make you some kind of demonic kid or something?" asked Gallantmon.
"You don't seem weird except for your hair and eyes," Kaiser Greymon pointed out.
"No, I'm very much human. For now that is."
"What do you mean 'for now'?" Zephrymon asked.
"I don't care what he calls himself! Let me at this punk!" Max snapped. "Otherwise, I'm only going to get pissed off even further!"
"Calm your anger, Max. I'm not here to fight you guys."
"So, why did you bring us here to this weird place?!" BW asked. "What's the meaning behind this?"
"Yeah, because I'm already tired of this sight-seeing!" growled Beelzebumon.
"I would like you guys to observe the sight between Saitou and Taichi. Our positions maybe different, but we are both drawn to a single man, and take action together with him. Am I wrong? Observing their battle is our duty to them."
"Pfft! What the hell are you talking about?!" Ultima X retorted. "Why can't we interfere and team with Tai?!"
"There's something I'd like you to tell me," said Mystic Celesta. "What is it about Saitou that you're so keen about?"
"Why join him on this end of the world crusade?" War Angemon spoke up.
"It has to do with everything," Neo chuckled. "Saitou can be violent, courageous, spiritually pure, and even fragile. He can be a graceful spokesman with great charisma to bring anyone to his side. I look up to him as if he were a father of mine, especially since my real father was never there for me."
"That's because our father has been missing for years, Neo," Rei calls out. "You were sad when you found out father had gone missing."
"That was five years ago, Rei. I've never forgiven him since then. I hated him for leaving us and mother behind. However, I was attracted to Mr. Saitou. Rei, you have to admit. He's always been there for us more so than father."
"Well… I…"
"When I first met him, I was living in another world different from your own, Digi-Destined. He found me just before I was recruited by an evil digimon. Saitou killed this digimon and recruited me to join his cause."
Flashback
Facing off with each other, a cloaked demon digimon had tried everything in his power to defeat the human man that stood opposing him. Neo Saiba looks on from a far distance and looks on impressed by the man's courageous spirit. No ordinary human would dare to oppose a demon lord and stand firm on the winning end.
Then, came a shocking turn of events, the man created a purple energy ball in his hand and tosses it up. The demon backed away with fear underneath its mask. It then fled away from sight but not long before the man kicked the energy ball towards the demon. Neo gasped once he saw the energy ball penetrate through the demon's chest. The blow left a gaping hole at its center.
"My gosh… He just defeated him with one attack?! But he's just a man… with special abilities… I must know who he is…"
"How… could I… the great Demon… lose at the hands of a human?"
"Demon, your soul has been plagued with darkness. As of today, you have been judged."
With that said, the man lunges himself at the demon lord and uses his hand to cut through Demon. In the process, he decapitated the demon digimon. The headless body fell to the ground and exploded into a cloud of data. Taking the demon's horned head, the man crushes it under his hand with little effort.
"Like many others, you have been sentenced to eternal damnation, demon."
Just then, Neo had tripped over a rock and caught the attention of the man. Neo gasped as he watched the man lunge forward. He puts his arms out and prays to himself. However, the man stops just a few feet away from the boy. Neo opened his eyes to make eye contact with the man.
"Hello, boy. Did you just watch that just now?"
"No… I mean yes! I'm sorry!"
The man merely smiled and sits up from the ground.
"Normally, I would just leave children alone. However, you're an exception. I can easily tell you are a troubled young man."
"Yes, how did you…"
"I searched your feelings and can read you like a book. You seek great knowledge and power. You came here looking for something. You were here to see this demon I just slain just now. Am I right?"
"Yes… To be honest, he was going to hand me something that help me rule this world."
"Interesting, but wouldn't you rather have even greater power?"
"A greater power?"
"You contain a special ability that still remains dormant to this very day. Why don't I teach you how to bring it out?"
"Will you do that really? I mean, what kind of power do I possess?"
"We'll see once we bring it out of its dormancy. So, what do you say?"
The man extended a hand out to Neo. He held a gentle grin across his face, which Neo didn't take too well at first. However, Neo felt he could understand and trust the man. He envisioned the young man as if he were a father he wished he could have. Neo nods and takes the man's hand.
"I'd be honored, sir. You seem like a person who understands me. Perhaps you could be like a father to me since my real father is never there for me."
"Sure, kid."
"By the way, my name is Neo Saiba. I'd like to know your name."
"Call me Himo Saitou. I'm sure we'll get along just great, Mr. Neo Saiba. How would you like to join my crusade in another world?"
"What kind of crusade?"
"A crusade against the human race. But, first, we should recruit more to our valiant cause. What do you say?"
"Anything… All humans are selfish and my father is a perfect example of that. I'd like for all of those selfish and arrogant humans to feel my pain."
"Then, let us begin our crusade, Mr. Saiba. Humanity will meet its end."
"Surprisingly, he let me live. I suppose he realized that not all humans were bad in his view when he first laid eyes on me. He saw all humans as evil and non-viral digimon as good. I came to realize that this killer could be warm-hearted, compassionate, intellectual, and open to broadening his view of the world. My attraction to him was not purely academic."
End of Flashback
"I wanted him to be my adoptive father and that's exactly what I received. He adopted me to his side and has helped to broaden my view on life. I see humans as the villains and my pleasure to torture digimon faded."
"Ok, that's enough out of you!" Max snapped. "I don't want to hear it anymore!"
"Why would you ever want to consider that man as a father? If anything, there's nothing fatherly about him whatsoever," said Gallantmon.
"I mean look at who you're allied with! A maniac who wishes for our extinction!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed. "Mankind for that matter!"
"Not to mention the many digimon across the digital universe. These Synisters will not be merciful to our kind," Cyberleomon stated.
"There's still time to turn away from his side, brother," Rei pleaded. "Use your head and understand that you're fighting for the wrong reasons! Don't let the hatred you have for Taichi from our world go straight to your head!"
"No, I've lost interest at getting back at Taichi in my world. Mr. Saitou will do battle with the Taichi of this world and defeat him. That's enough to satisfy me."
"Then, if you truly care for Saitou, then you will help us stop him!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"The path he has chosen will destroy him as well," Mega Gargomon said.
"You can't save the damned," Neo replied. "Don't you guys see? I'm expecting him to act terribly and hurt people, even to his own end. There's no way to stop it."
"Why the hell not?!" Max growled.
"There has to be a reason," whispered Dorothy.
"Because Saitou must follow his soul's true course. Let me make a comparison. Ink drips onto a white sheet of paper. The paper absorbs the ink, and turns black right before your eyes. That's what I like. Its purity demands it. Watching Saitou's reactions as he continued to see the ugly parts of humanity was most ideal. Because of his purity, he couldn't rationalize it away, nor could he close his eyes to it, so it just wounded him, and he became more despondent. Every time it happened, he became stronger."
"Ugh! You're making me nauseous!" Magna Garurumon said.
"Though he does bring up some good points," Loweemon replied. "Not like I would agree with him by the way."
"You're making me sick, you psychotic bastard!" Max retorted towards Neo. "You're the one at the root of his wickedness, aren't you?!"
"You must not misunderstand. It's not like I coaxed Saitou-san along."
"Then what the heck are you talking about?!" Beetlemon exclaimed.
"Quiet! Let him explain," Pikkan said.
"At least he's making sense to me," replied BW. "Continue on…"
"I was only his shadow," Neo continued. "I watched him over as his continued to change, and only lent him my hand to do what he wanted. I will likely continue to do so."
"If it were possible, I won't hesitate to even kill you," Dorothy threatened.
"Likewise, let me cap his guy!" Beelzebumon said as he loaded his gun.
"I wouldn't mind breaking his neck," Sonja snickered.
"You'll have to beat me to him first," Metalla X replied to the others.
"Yeah! Why don't we call gang up on him?!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"As wise as some of you are, you know you can't do that, right?" Neo chuckled. "If you kill me, you will never leave the belly of my Uraotoko. Since you have entered my territory, you cannot even use flight or teleportation to escape. You'll be trapped here forever."
"Damn! This is so aggravating!" growled BW.
"We can't do a darn thing in this place!" Koriikkakumon said. "So if we kill this guy, we'll screw ourselves over."
"All we will do is watch their battle. What do you say we get a view of the fated showdown between the two apprentices?" Neo suggested.
With that said, two pairs of eyes opened behind Neo. The crew watched on as the eyes widened further to display a view of the caverns. Max was the first to notice his father and Saitou standing yards away from each other. The fated battle between the Dark Angel and the One was set to commence, as stated through Lady Moinanea's prophetic words. The battle to determine the fate of the human world and the entire digital universe was well underway.
Mystic Celesta has sentenced Myotismon to eternal damnation and the group has finally saved Max. Their celebration was short-lived as they became swallowed by the Uraotoko created by Neo Saiba. Omega X was spat out and left to fight Saitou alone. Finally, the showdown between Omega X and Saitou is underway. Round two is set to commence! Will Tai overcome his predecessor and win the day? Or does the Dark Angel have a few aces up his veteran sleeves? How long will it take for the others to find a way through the Uraotoko? The prophetic battle of digital world legend has been set into motion. Will it lead to paradise thanks to Tai's victory or Armageddon due to Saitou's victory? Only one will survive and ensure the fate of the human world along with the Digital Universe.

(Preview)
Tai/Omega X: Hey, everyone! It's me, Tai! With my friends inside the nasty Uraotoko, I'm left by myself to fight that bastard Saitou. But this is exactly what I needed. No distractions and I can take out my frustrations on this creep!
Saitou: Your power and speed are superior to mine, but quite ironic that you're still going to die.
Max: That doesn't make sense!
Sora: Meanwhile, digimon and weaker monsters are appearing across the world. It's a sign of things to come once that tunnel fully opens.
Shintomon: X! Time is of essence!
Kari/Mystic Celesta: If you think you know fully about Saitou's character, then you still haven't seen everything yet!
Takato/Gallantmon: Saitou shows us that he's just more than a psychotic Socrates with a strong set of techniques. He's also got quite a twist behind his character!
Matt/Metalla X: It'll catch even you by surprise!
Takuya/Kaiser Greymon: Now he's claiming he has no interest in Max's special sword?!
Pikkan: He doesn't even give a damn about the tunnel either!
Jeri: Next chapter is entitled…
The Prophetic Battle, The One Vs. The Dark Angel! Dark Angel's Twisted Secret!
Saitou: Unlike all of your past enemies, Taichi, I fight with divine justice on my side.
Omega X: Saitou and I go all out! Just as long as he doesn't kill me, this should prove to be my ultimate test!
Whew, well that was quite a 'breather' chapter, huh? I know Kari/Mystic Celesta was OOC for that one instance but really… Can you blame her? She sensed Myotismon within that kid. The gatomon side to Mystic Celesta committed that act. So this will be the one and only time you will EVER see Hikari/Gatomon acting this cold-blooded. So, whatca think about Myo's punishment? ((wink))
We get a glimpse behind Neo's reasoning to side with Saitou and his desire to hurt digimon has subsided just for this story alone. It won't be too long until Millenniumon himself shows up. Next time, it's the long-awaited showdown between Saitou and Tai inside the caverns. If you guys seen the fight with Sensui and Yusuke, this one will prove to be even more violent and dramatic. Be sure to check back because it will be a chapter to remember for a long time.
Until then, peace out ficcers! sigh Where the heck as Max Acorn been lately anyway? He's missing out on some great action.

Yo, everyone! I'm back with the fourth update of 2005! I'm really getting on the ball with this fic and hope to get through the whole thing until March at the latest. As of now, I have officially declared Kaiser X to be my new muse. Coral's been competing at galactic tournaments and I need a suitable replacement. So, make him feel welcome.
Anyway, I know you guys have been anticipating this chapter for a long time. First, I'd like to thank Youkai Youko's cousin for suggesting an idea dealing with Saitou's secret weapon. ((winks)) So, without further ado, let's get on with the fic! It's Taichi vs. Saitou, one on one! Next!
Last time on Digimon Fusion, our heroes finally arrive at Saitou's Lair. They have found Max and hope to set him free. Nevertheless, before they could do anything of the sort, Saitou gives a bit of wording to Omega X and his crew. He sends out Sigma to take care of the warriors, but Mystic Celesta steps up to confront him. Knowing that the boy was no longer human, Mystic Celesta proceeded to decapitate him and force the vampiric demon himself… Myotismon! The Gatomon side to Mystic Celesta had easily noticed his scent. Myotismon has been hiding out for years and was the one who informed Saitou about the Digi-Destined, including Taichi. Using a technique she has been developing for the years, Mystic Celesta has bound Myotismon to eternal suffering using a soul-absorbing tree.
Once freeing Max, Neo proceeded to use his Uraotoko to send Omega X's group to another dimension. Finally, the one on one showdown between two apprentices is set to commence. Saitou vs. Taichi. They only have fifteen minutes until the doorway to the Dark Realm opens.

The Prophetic Battle, The One Vs. The Dark Angel! Dark Angel's Twisted Secret!
Rainbow Bridge. 7:45 PM
The skies were once again becoming shrouded with thick, black clouds. Citizens were now becoming very worried about the proclaimed 'end of days'. Even many of the apocalyptic theorists were claiming that the predictions were indeed true. Well, little do they realize that an even greater threat was set to become unleashed on the planet in a matter of fifteen minutes. They might as well pray for the remaining hours of their precious lives that they have left.
Driving across towards the Rainbow Bridge was a blonde-haired young man wearing a New York Yankee jersey. Inside, there was a green, reptilian creature with red eyes and an orange-like fin across it's back. The man gripped his steering wheel tightly and was losing his patience with the heavy traffic.
"Darn! I just wish they would hurry it up!"
"Michael. We should have taken the boat."
"All of the boats have left shore. Even hitching a plane flight is hectic especially with these dark clouds. I've been trying to contact Mimi but to no avail. I hope they're doing all right."
"Well, she did mention she would be going to some tunnel near Demon's Cavern."
"Isn't that outside of Mushiyori? We're way too far off from where they are. It would have to take a miracle for us to get there."
"Um, hello? You can always use me you know. I can just digivolve. We wouldn't have to worry about the traffic here."
"You're right. What was I thinking? These past few days have been hectic. I haven't been thinking clearly."
"It's only natural, Michael. Now, let's get the heck out of here."
Suddenly, a massive tremor caused the entire bridge to shake. Michael grabbed Betamon and hopped out of the car. For some reason Betamon was able to notice some strange energy readings throughout the surroundings.
"These aren't earthquakes, Michael. Digimon are being released."
"Where!"
"All across the globe. Digital portals are being opened. If digimon come flooding this world, then it will only mean disaster. Plus, you factor that in with these ongoing natural disasters."
"I don't even want to know. This is just as bad as the D-Reaper fiasco from five years!"
"Pray the planet doesn't go KaBaoom like last time. Because that will be the end result."
"Oh dear…"
Looking across the bridge, portals were opening up from all directions. A horde of Gesomon, Megaseadramon and Shellmon were roaming across the sea. However, that was not all. In the skies, large numbers of flying digimon flooded the heavens. There were flocks of Airdramon, Megadramon, Flybeemon, Snimon and Devidramon. These mighty beasts roared like demons being released from long dormancy within limbo itself. People were panicking like no tomorrow and flooded the streets in mass hysteria.
Michael picks up Betamon and takes off across the bridge. Before he could proceed on, he stopped to become surrounded by a fleet of Ninjamon.
"Great. We're surrounded, Michael!"
"Don't worry, Betamon. I'm sure ol' Metalseadramon can take care of these guys."
"No sweat. Let me at 'em!"
As Michael proceeded to pull out his digivice, Betamon leaps up into the air to become engulfed by golden light. The small rookie was prepared to take battle against the ongoing invaders of the digital world.
"Betamon! Warp Shinka! Metalseadramon!"
In place of Betamon was the golden-armored, ocean titan Metalseadramon. However, unlike the Dark Master who served Burizalor, this one fought on the side of justice and hails as Michael's beloved partner.
"All right, boys! Time to send down with the fishes!" Metalseadramon bellowed. "River of Power!"
The mega sent out a powerful watery blast that managed to knock away the Ninjamon rather easily. However, the challenge was still to come. The Megaseadramon, Gesomon and Shellmon hordes were heading towards the titan's direction.
"Bring it on, you washed up twits! Michael! You get these people to safety!"
"You got it!"
"I just hope things don't get worse. Are the prophecies within the digital scriptures coming true? Have the end of days come? Something tells me that the Digi-Destined are apart of this ancient prophecy. If that's the case, then they had better stop whatever is coming out of that hole. It's up to you now, my friends."
Azulongmon's Domain. Digital World 01/02
Watching closely through a viewing orb, the majestic Holy Beast of the East looked on and breathed heavily. He was suffering from loss of power and felt exhausted since his digicores were taken. Azulongmon felt the presence of figure walking into his domain. Without turning to face the ominous figure, the dragon beast acknowledges his presence.
"Good to see you again, Gennai."
"So, it's time. The fated battle according to the ancient prophecy is set to commence."
"Yes, it is time."
"Azulongmon. You desperately need your four most essential digicores. The other cores don't have enough power to sustain your energy."
"I'll manage, Gennai. All that matters is Taichi defeating the Dark Angel. That why the seal will be closed and apocalypse will be delayed at least for a few more centuries."
"In earth time."
"Yes. Have you informed of the other Holy Beasts?"
"Not only in this quadrant but even the Sovereign equilivents in the southern quadrant. I made sure to send a message to the Three Celestial Angel Guardians in the western Digital World."
"Good. Every one of them deserves to view this battle. It will be the most important and will determine the fate of our multi-worlds. If not, the entire Digital Universe."
"I agree."
Gennai catches a glimpse of Omega X and Saitou facing each other inside Demon's Cavern. He put his faith in the warrior of courage. It is amazing how much Tai has grown from a cocky, brash young boy and into an honorable, courageous warrior of legend. The prophecy has indeed been accurate as far as Tai's growth was concerned. This battle alone could very well be his most important once since Burizalor years ago.
Digital World 04. Seraphimon's Castle
The Three Angels watched their viewing orb with anticipation. They knew very well that their own world was at stake. Sorcermon walks in just in time to join the three superiors.
"Ah, Sorcermon. It's good you can join us," Seraphimon spoke.
"I wouldn't miss this for the Digital World. This is the most important showdown in our lifetime."
"Perhaps even for our future generations," said Ophanimon.
"It is this warrior to fulfill the wishes of our legendary warriors and our entire existence," Cherubimon stated.
"Where are Takuya and the others, Lord Seraphimon?"
"Inside the Uraotoko on the wall across from the two warriors," the male angel lord replied. "They along with the Tamers and upper-level Digi-Destined have been sealed there. This is the way the battle should be. Just as the written prophecy has foretold. Only one warrior will emerge triumphant. The warrior known as Omega X will need to declare victory if Armageddon across both the human world and digital worlds is to be delayed for a long time."
"Since it was him and our warriors to defeat the M-5 Machine Empire, we shall place our hopes on this valiant warrior," Ophanimon said.
"Yes, for only he has the authority to challenge the Dark Angel," Cherbuimon said. "I just never expected this human to be the Dark Angel according to the prophetic scriptures."
"The Dark Angel could have taken the form of anything it desires. I had thought Lucemon would have been that Dark Angel but it was not to be," Seraphimon stated. "Takuya and his friends slain Lucemon. I recently received a message from Azulongmon of the Eastern sector. He and his Southern counterpart were foretold of a human apprenticed by the one named X. Perhaps this is the human with extraordinary powers they speak of."
"Most likely, but we shall see if he can stand up to Omega X. This will be quite interesting. A human who desires the extinction of his own race against a warrior willing to protect every being crying out for peace," Sorcermon replied.
"Omega X. Our faiths lie in you and ensure the survival of the legendary warriors," Seraphimon viewed the orb with a nod.
Much like Azulongmon's orb, this one featured another view of the showdown. Saitou stood at one side of the caverns with Omega X stood at another side.
"Guess this doesn't come with Spanish audio and wide screen does it?" Sorcermon asked cheekily.
"Um, not that I know of," coughed Cherubimon.
"Now's not the time for stupid questions," Ophanimon muttered.
"Lady Moinanea. I just hope the final piece of the prophecy reveals victory for the warrior of courage. We cannot afford an apocalyptic period and the Synisters to once again roam across the Digital Universe. Just after we've worked hard to repair our worlds. Our fates shall not be sealed just because a human wishes to extract vengeance on his own race. We cannot allow it to happen. We cannot… We are witnessing history as we speak," Seraphimon thought.
Digital World 03. Zhuqiaomon's Palace
Deep within the fire-induced fortress shaped like a royal crown, a mighty gust of flames emerged through it. A loud booming roar was heard as a massive phoenix flapped it is majestic, feathery-flame wings. Its crimson eyes were locked on the viewing orb bestowed upon him thanks to a brief visit by Gennai.
"At last, the fated battle is set to commence. It has been a long time since I've gazed upon such an important event. Not since the D-Reaper has this been important to our domain. I may still have dislike for the humans, but I do wish this warrior my blessings. He and his comrades have slain the D-Reaper to ensure future generations to spawn across our domain."
"Hey! You in there, Zhuster!"
The phoenix sovereign turns to find a two-headed old turtles walking through the doors. The titan stepped inside and steered clear from the flames.
"You really need to redecorate, Zhuster! Whoo! My back has trees you know!"
"Sorry about that, Ebonwumon. Good to see you, my friend. Will Baihumon and Azulongmon be joining us?"
"Azulongmon should be here, but I haven't heard anything from dear Baihumon. He has determined to protect his domain. However, I'm sure he was given an access viewing orb from Gennai to view this important battle. I usually don't like to wake up from my nap, but this is worth it."
"Good. This battle between the warriors who battled the D-Reaper will stand up against the Dark Angel. I find it surprising the Dark Angel would actually be a human being."
"Don't you still have resentment towards humans?"
"Yes until the Tamers and the Digi-Destined saved our worlds from the D-Reaper's threat. The monster was reincarnated into a human and is no longer the threat she used to be. This human will prove to be their greatest challenge."
"Just this human alone?"
"This is no ordinary human. I feel this is the same human who was appointed to be X's apprentice and turned rogue after viewing a traumatic event that suddenly caused him to start a crusade to destroy the human race. We cannot let the humans undergo such an apocalyptic event as the hole opening to the Dark Realm. Earth will become hell itself if this human isn't stopped. Warrior of courage. It's all on your since the Tamers are locked inside the Uraotoko. Good luck. May our hopes and prayers grant you victory."
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:45 P.M.
Everyone else who did not join the others inside the caverns was crowded together to watch the fated battle set to begin. Sora set her eyes onto the face off and clasped her hands together. Mimi sat next to the tensed woman and rubbed her shoulders to calm her nerves.
"Relax, Sora. You know Tai's going to pull through with this. That creep has nothing on him."
"I hope so, Mimi. I'm just worried over him and Max."
"Well, we just saw Max and the others being sent through that Uraotoko. They should be just fine," Shintomon reassured them.
"Good, then Keke is safe, too," Dimitri sighed a relief.
"I see that as a good thing. We'll know everyone will be just fine and that this battle remains man-against-man," said Hercules Kabuterimon.
"It is imperative these two fight it alone," replied Izzy.
"Agreed. Our only role is become witnesses to this," Cody said.
"Not a problem with me," Joe stated. "There's no way our digimon can stand up to these two."
"What! You don't think we stand a chance in heck!" Gomamon cried out.
"Look on the bright side, Gomamon. At least we still get a good view through the old man's orb," Armadillomon said. "Besides, we'd only get in the way. So, it would be pointless for us to butt in their ol' showdown."
"I wonder though. Have we really seen this Saitou character at top strength?" wondered Gosenzomon. "He has yet to put forth his full power since the last time Taichi confronted him in the city."
"At least these caverns will provide them more room and no civilians to get in the way," Rosemon said.
"Just pray they won't decide to go crazy and decide to nuke the whole place," Kazu remarked.
"Or the whole planet!" panicked Kenta.
"Oh dear! We can't afford that!" Guardromon exclaimed.
"Calm yourselves, boys," Arukenimon said. "At least Mummymon has shown more guts in the face of adversity. Right, Mummymon?"
As soon as she turned around, she did not see what she had hoped. A sweat drop fell over her forehead as she found Mummymon biting his hat. She growled deeply and slapped the back of his head.
"Will you cut that out! This is one battle you can't miss!"
"Sorry, Arukenimon. I just get tense when the world is due to possibly end…"
"Baka. Ugh…"
"This should be good. I haven't been this pumped since watching the D-Reaper battle," Black Gatomon said.
"Oh, Leomon. Pikkan. I know you guys are getting a kick out watching this up close in those caverns," Jeri sighed.
"Hey, it's better for us to stay out here," Lopmon said.
"No kidding. It's only going to get nasty in there once they start," Suzie spoke in a more mature tone. "Oh, Henry. Terriermon."
Lady Moinanea opened her eyes to get a full glimpse of the battle through the viewing orb. A smile forms across her face once gazing upon her champion, Omega X, standing firm. Grasping the four digicores to her side, she whispers silently under her breath.
"What's wrong, Moinanea?" Shintomon asked his beloved wife.
"Nothing… Just watching."
"You did say something."
"Let's just this important battle, dear."
Without turning to face her, Shintomon questioned the demigoddess and wondered what she was whispering. Moinanea had her sights set on the viewing orb.
"And so it begins… The stage has been set. We'll see if the prophecy does indeed come into fruition. The fate of many worlds rests on my champion now."
? Center of the Four Digital World Domains ?
Inside a large temple-like structure, a large dragon-like figure emerged from its slumber and loomed ominously over his own viewing orb. Appearing on the sphere was a scene of the Demon's Cavern. The being blinked it's eyes and quickly changes the scene into the inside of the caverns. He growled deeply while catching a quick glimpse of both Saitou and Omega X.
Standing over at his side were a group of kids. Two of which were teenagers and the other two are eight-year-olds. One teen is a boy with purple hair, gray t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. The girl was the older version of Keke. She has blonde-pinkish hair, a white shirt and pink shorts. Of the two kids, one was a boy with short blonde hair, a green martial arts outfit and a pair of goggles over his head. The other was a girl with short brown hair, a white shirt and a blue skirt.
"It has begun hasn't it, Huanglongmon-sama?" the older Keke asked.
(Huanglongmon. God Beast Type. Maintains the balance of the Four Digital Worlds in the Digi-Universe. Has highest authority besides Shintomon's race of people. He is the Judge over the rights and wrongs)
"Yes. The time has come. The warrior known as Omega X is set to engage in the fated battle against the Dark Angel. The prophecy has indeed been accurate according to the fate of our worlds."
"Then, that means Tai has to win this battle or we're all in deep crap," the blonde kid snorted. "C'mon, kick his ass, Tai!"
"Tike. Watch your mouth. You're just like your present counterpart in this universe," Keke sighed.
"Same goes with me," the brown-haired girl stated.
"Kara. Let us not get into that right now. This important event will determine the fate of both the human and digital worlds. Besides, we get the privilege to watch this up close and personal," the purple-haired teen replied.
"You're right, Sam. Now let's show our support for Tai and hope that X can make it there in time to use that emerald you bestowed him with, Huanglongmon," Keke said.
"Hopefully. I have faith in him. If Taichi is unable to defeat the Dark Angel, X may use that emerald as a last resort. I just hope it doesn't come down to it. The Dark Angel must be defeated to ensure that Armageddon be delayed for the next few centuries at the most. Now is not the time. The most important war has come upon us. Everything else was merely just a step. This is what we have been waiting for. May the One prevail…"
Keke set her sights back on the orb and clasped her hands together. Several tears came down her eyes before she whispered one name, or one letter for that matter.
"X…"
Saitou's Lair. 7:45 PM
Back inside the ominous cave, the fated showdown from the prophetic digi-scriptures was set to commence. The Dark Angel vs. the One. Standing on one side of the cavern was the heroic warrior of legend, Omega X. The same warrior who saved his Digital World by defeating the tyrant Burizalor. He is the same individual who gained the power of digital fusion for the first time after thousands of digital millennia. He helped train some of the top Digi-Destined and Tamers to what they have become today. He helped his sister to defeat Virus and Takato to overcome the D-Reaper. He and his allies have just recently overcome the now extinct Tufflesurian Bebimon, the Super Artificial and the seven Millenniumon Monsters.
Now, he is all alone without the help of his friends. The prophecy stated only the One would have the privilege of battling the Dark Angel. Standing at the other corner, Himo Saitou A.K.A. the Dark Angel. He was the former apprentice of X and has seen a new light shed upon humanity. He was once destined to protect the human race from evil digimon of all sorts. Once he gazed upon the revelation that humans were killing innocent digimon, he took it upon himself to take his anger on the humans. He views the entire universe as black and white. Now, he wishes to prove that in this prophetic battle with Omega X.
(Play Yu Yu Hakusho theme Sensui no Territory)
Clenching his fists tightly, Omega X had his eyes locked onto the Dark Angel. Anger was swelling within the warrior, especially since Saitou planned to have Max abducted. Tai was not going to accept that and would make Saitou pay for his crime.
"Let's do this, Saitou. I've been waiting for this moment these past few days."
"Hmmm. I wonder if you've noticed it yet, Taichi."
"What?"
"As I continued being X's apprentice, I could tell that some part of my heart was decaying. Back then, I didn't seen the effort to stop it. Do you want to know why?"
Omega X simply remained silent and allowed the Dark Angel to continue speaking his mind.
"It's because I started realizing that the eroded portions were who I really was. As I fought for something, for someone, I began more and more to search for a purpose to my fight. You'll become that way someday, too."
"Oh yeah. I can tell you've really taken a turn for the worst."
Saitou laughed and continued on, "To be honest, I don't even care about the hole connecting to the Dark Realm any more. Whether the A-Class, S-Class or even the Super A-class Synisters come through into both the Human World and the Digital Worlds, it doesn't really matter to me."
"What! You're not serious! You don't even care anymore!"
"It doesn't have anything to do with me personally. What is most important to me is this moment, when I am about to fight you. I get the feeling that the whole reason I tried to create this tunnel to the Dark Realm was that I could fight you."
"That's right. According to what Matt told me from Lady Moinanea, the One fights the Dark Angel. I'm the One and looks like I'm set on kicking this guys' ass."
(End theme)
As soon as he finished speaking, Saitou let out a joyous laughter. He already started to believe that victory was essentially going to be at his grasp. Omega X couldn't bear to stand hearing his adversary's laughter and popped his neck. Within a split second, the warrior phases out from sight. Saitou was quick to notice his adversary's movement and turned to find Omega X flying past him from a left corner of his eye.
Saitou caught Omega X set on delivering a ki-coated fist to his face. The Dark Angel immediately brought out his left leg and attempted a spinning front kick. Omega X quickly phases out again and leaves Saitou wide open. Omega X reappears at Saitou's other side and goes for a fist. Saitou goes for yet another spinning front kick using his right leg. The warrior teleported out using his Time Warp. With his guard down, Saitou turned to find a ki blast being shoot across his face. Omega X followed it up with a fist and slammed it across Saitou's face. The force sent the Dark Angel sailing across the caverns with blood dripping from his mouth.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:46 PM
Everyone inside the dimension, excluding Neo and Metalla X, were cheering on enthusiastically. Others were hollering out for their leader landing the first contact hit on Saitou.
"All right! Now kick his tail, dad!" Max cheered.
"Now that was what I like to call a clean hit!" exclaimed Keke.
"The first hit comes from my brother. Let's hope he keeps this up," Mystic Celesta said.
"He's got Saitou reeling!" Ultima X stated. "What did you think, babe?"
"It's not over yet," replied Sonja.
"She's right. So we better keep an eye out," Pikkan warned everyone. "Time is also running out. They only have fourteen minutes left."
"Tai. You've greatly improved. You caught Saitou off guard and easily saw through his kicks," Metalla X thought. "I guess our fusion as Kaiser X greatly increased our power levels a thousand fold."
Saitou's Lair. 7:46 P.M.
Saitou managed to land right on his feet after having his adversary slam a fist against his face. Blood dripped from his lip and a huge imprint was formed on his left cheek. Omega X stepped up and began to speak out against the Dark Angel.
(Play Rob Zombie's Dragula)
"What are you, a dumb ass! Blowing your own horn like that! Just going at each other until one us is dead is perfectly cool with me! Why didn't you just pick a fight with me from the start? You should asked politely first. I'd be happy to oblige. Did you really think if you had not pulled away with this crap, I would have run from you like a pussy? You make me sick."
Lifting himself up from the ground, Saitou chuckled and spat some blood from his mouth.
"How nice for you that you're so simple."
"What the hell are you talking about!"
"That's fine, too…"
Saitou put out a hand across and channeled a small portion of his ki energy. Almost immediately, a tiny amount of ki appeared and transformed into a large ki ball. It levitated over the Dark Angel's hand with rare brilliance. The ki ball grew larger until it was the size of his whole hand.
"Taichi Kamiya, supposing your power is at ten, my power would probably be between six and seven. Speed, resilience, stamina… I bet you've got the edge over me in all of them. Yet, you're still going to die by my hand."
"You're bluffing…"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:46 P.M.
"What's he going on about!" Kaiser Greymon asked.
"That's what I'd like to know," replied Magna Garurumon.
"Is he trying to psyche out Tai?" Zephrymon wondered.
"No way! He has to be bluffing!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "Tai's already at the fourth level stage of digital fusion. He fought some of the strongest enemies in that form!"
"Yet, even there are enemies possibly stronger than him now," Dorothy said.
"You think he's just buying some time?" Sakuyamon asked.
"I don't think that's it," stated Pikkan. "Saitou is fully sure of himself."
"You are correct, Alterian," Neo spoke out from the background. "It's been such a long time since I've seen Saitou-san enjoy himself this much."
"What! Stop bickering your nonsense again!" Mega Gargomon snapped. "I'd like to shut that little punk's mouth myself. Maybe with some duct tape. What do you think, Henry?"
"That's right! You shut up, kid! From now on, you're in quiet time!" Max retorted out at Neo.
"Don't listen to him, Tai!" War Angemon called out to Omega X. "Don't let your head get twisted head! Saitou's all yours!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:46 P.M.
With the crew still looking on from within the Uraotoko head, Saitou was standing across with a ki ball ready to launch at his adversary.
"You're better than me, and yet you cannot defeat me," Saitou rambled on. "Do you know why? I've got a list of reasons."
"Hmph. The reason is so simple. It's because you're a damn sick and demented freak who needs a life!"
With that said, Omega X flies out across the cavern and uses his Time Warp to reach over towards Saitou faster. The Dark Angel remained calm while holding the ki ball in his right hand.
"So let's just go straight to the fun!"
Omega X throws out a fist across and aims for Saitou's face. Yet, the Dark Angel was easily able to catch it with his left hand. The warrior follows it up with an array of fists. Saitou blocked out each one with one hand. Omega X attempts a kick, which Saitou ducks underneath. Another punch was thrown and blocked out. The process repeated twice over. Saitou was much too swift and quick for any one of Omega X's offensive hits to connect.
Saitou flies back across the caverns with Omega X teleporting himself across. He throws out yet more punches and fails to make one hit on the Dark Angel. The Dark Angel levitates up into the upper regions of the caverns with Omega X following him out. Omega X throws out more fists and launches several ki blasts. Saitou brings out his left hand to block out each ki blast attempt. Omega X phases up to meet face to face with the Dark Angel. More punches thrown and it only ended up with the same result.
Saitou looks behind and lands onto the sidewall of the caverns. He launched himself across and threw out his ki ball. He goes directly to kick the ki ball directly for Omega X. The warrior puts up his guard at the last minute.
"Give it everything you've got!"
However, the ki ball quickly dispersed out of thin air. This managed to catch Omega X completely off guard and destroyed his strategy. Saitou fakes out his adversary and shoots out a right kick across. Omega X uses his Time Warp to avoid the blow. Once he reappears behind Saitou, he cupped his hands together and goes for a Terra Beam. Unfortunately, Saitou shoots out his right leg and delivers a spinning back kick across Omega X's face. The warrior lets out a gasp and felt the tremendous impact.
The force of the blow sent Omega X sailing across into a cavern wall. He stopped himself in time and manages to levitate back down. Saitou swiftly lands down to face his successor.
(Theme fades in BG)
"Damn it! You dirty, rotten bastard! You lied to me! First, you said I was faster than you were and you got the heads up! I even used my Time Warp and you managed to see through my strategy! If my speed is greater than yours, then why don't any of my hits land! Answer me!"
"You are faster than me, Taichi, but it doesn't matter. That's reason number one why you cannot win: I can read your attacks."
"Bull crap! Only a few people have been known to predict my attacks, but I doubt you are one of them! What are you, a stupid kid! Explain to me exactly what you mean!"
"It's all about experience. My history of fighting enemies, from the time I was a little boy. Like earlier, when you caught me by surprise, and I took your ki-blast/punch combination. What you could call my fighting intuition moves me even faster than my reflexes, allowing me to avoid any fatal injuries. I can decode your attacks and I've been doing it decades longer than you have."
"Heh. So I guess I can't surprise even you."
"You're too predictable."
"Well! When it comes to the number of fights you've been in, you haven't got me beat! So, let's see you try, asshole!"
Omega X lets out a battle cry as he came flying out towards Saitou with fists coated with ki energy. He was ready to unleash another offense assault on the Dark Angel.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:47 P.M.
Max leaps out in front of everyone and throws out a triumphant fist in the air. Everyone else, except Neo, Metalla X and Pikkan, were cheering on the warrior's efforts.
"Go get him, Tai! Show him how many guys you've defeated!" exclaimed Ultima X.
"He just might get serious this time around," Cyberleomon said.
"I hope so. This is no time to be fooling around. We only have fifteen minutes left," BW replied.
"Yeah! C'mon, dad! Show him that you're the legendary warrior!" Max cheered. "You've defeated many creeps before and this guy is next on the casualty list!"
"Just make sure not to do anything so obvious!" Keke cried out.
"Hopefully you change your fighting strategy or else Saitou will simply decode it," Metalla X said in thought.
Saitou's Lair. 7:47 P.M.
(Repeat Dragula)
Omega X continues his charge toward Saitou and prepares for his next strategic move. Saitou puts up his guard but is immediately caught off guard when Omega X decided to go airborne. The warrior leaps up and lands many feet away from his opposition. Omega X phases out and reappears a few inches away from Saitou's presence. He cups his hands together and shoots out his patented Terra Beam through the ground under Saitou's feet. The Dark Angel flew up away from the blast and watched as the ground crumbled under its sheer might.
"TERRA BEAM!"
A large smoke cloud collected around from where the blast left a crater. Saitou searched around for his surroundings and did not pick up any traces of Omega X's ki. He looked up and caught glimpse of an approaching object. He puts out a hand and prepares to fire a ki blast.
"THERE! YOU'RE UP!"
Suddenly, instead of Omega X coming down at him, a large rock came flying down at him. Saitou quickly shoots out a ki blast to disintegrate the rock. Unfortunately, he did not realize that Omega X was coming down from beneath him. Omega X had used his Time Warp teleportation technique to appear under Saitou's eyes. The Dark Angel caught glimpse of him with a surprised glare.
"FAKED YOU OUT!"
With that said, Omega X takes advantage of his distracted adversary and throws out an array of fists into Saitou's chest. Each blow took their toll on Saitou's body. Each deafening fist was crunching his ribs and blood spat out from his mouth. Omega X let out a triumphant battle cry while maintaining his attack on Saitou.
"DON'T EVER PULL THAT SHIT OFF AGAIN! YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!"
Omega X throws out more punches until he sent Saitou flying across the caverns. The warrior takes position and cupped his hands together. He starts chanting out his next big attack. At the same time, he gathered a large amount of ki energy through his palms.
"TERRA BEAM! TIMES TEN!"
With a single push, Omega X sends out a massively, powerful ki beam across that it blasted Saitou. The beam engulfed Saitou and was enough to send him flying across into the cavern walls. The Dark Angel's wings were clipped, figuratively speaking. Omega X levitated down and watches Saitou fall into the small pond. The warrior rubbed his throbbing hands and slightly cursed.
(End theme)
"Damn, my hands…"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:47 P.M.
"Right! Now that's what I like to call kicking ass!" Beetlemon exclaimed.
"I've got to admit. That was some good planning on his part. Saitou didn't even predict that," Pikkan stated.
"Though, Tai ought to be on the look out. There is no telling when that bastard will pop out any moment. These punks know when to surprise you," BW said.
"Don't jinx us, BW. That's not what we need now," said War Angemon.
"Well that takes care of that punk. If he decides to show his ugly mug, then we have Neo here set us free," Beelzebumon said she he pointed his gun towards him. "Right, kid?"
"Beelzebumon! Don't be so foolish!" Mystic Celesta cried out. "You kill him and we can't be set free."
"I'm not about to let you harm my brother!" Rei snapped at the demon biker.
"Geez, sorry… I was just saying that we could force him to open his territory up."
"You guys. We do not have time to argue. I doubt this battle is over. It's too obvious. Saitou's not the type to be defeated so easily," Gallantmon said.
"I agree. Tai better keep his guard up," Kaiser Greymon replied.
"If that's the case, then you better hurry it up, dad! I have not eaten anything since they kidnapped me! I could eat a whole city right about now!" Max hollered to his father.
"Great. You sure love to think with your stomach, don't ya, Max?" Keke sighed in thought.
Saitou's Lair. 7:47 P.M.
Back within the caverns, everything had seemed calm. Perhaps too calm. The lake itself was rather tranquil and moved along smoothly. Omega X stands across from the lake while attempting to notice Saitou's ki. So far, he felt nothing.
"I doubt the bastard is dead. He would have taken more punishment than that. He's not kidding with this experience. He already knows how to conceal his ki completely. It's hard even for me to pick up on."
Omega X picks up a stone from the ground and tosses it into the lake. He tested the waters in order to draw out his adversary. However, it was to no avail.
"What's the matter, Saitou! Did you drown! I bet all that training made you forget how to swim! Well, great! I'm packing up out of here. After we close that damn tunnel, we're getting out of here! You heard Max! He's starving!"
Despite his outbursts and profanity, the waters remained calm. No ki was being traced. Omega X was beginning to lose it for the first time as a seasoned warrior.
"Come on! Get out of there, you bastard!"
Suddenly, a pair of bubbled emerged onto the water's surface. A shadow figure was slowly coming up for air. Saitou's head came into exposure. His hair was already wet and dripping across his forehead. The shirt on his body was gone, most likely dissolved from Omega X's attack. Even Omega X's blast did not inflict heavy damage on the Dark Angel.
"Good hits, Taichi. With that Terra Beam, it managed to completely dissolve my shirt."
Saitou stepped out of the water completely wet yet still calm and collected. Only his pants and boots remained since his shirt was completely dissolved from the Terra Beam. Just then, Omega X had a disgusted glare on his face and jumped back.
"Ech! Damn!"
(Play Random BGM from PS game Nightmare Creatures or Metallica's One)
Even his friends from within Neo's Uraotoko were looking on with mixed reactions. The females were grossed out yet some of the males were stunned to find out how inhumanly grotesque his body appeared.
A glimpse of Saitou's arms, shoulders, chest and back were exposed. Across his body were inflicted cuts that looked deep and inhumanly grotesque. It was as if it were out of a horror movie itself. Despite the sickening appearance, Saitou's upper body was muscularly built enough to take heavy damage. The lower portions of his stomach consisted of a well-developed six-pack. His arms were huge and his chest was chiseled like a Greek statue. Saitou popped his neck and turned towards Omega X with a grin.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:47 P.M.
"Did you see that, Sakuyamon!" Mega Gargomon asked.
"I'll say. That is sick! All of those cuts! What exactly did he do to himself?"
"They're even worse than mine," Metalla X said. "Never thought I'd see anything like that."
"His body. He must have a body like a tank!" Koriikakkumon replied.
"Make that a billion tanks," replied Loweemon. "Tai's fists and Terra Beam did no damage to his body."
"C'mon, Tai. You can hang in there. We have beaten guys like D-Reaper and it took all of our effort. You're stronger than before," Gallantmon said.
"He'll pull through. I know how tough he can be," Dorothy replied. "Tai won't give up."
"I don't know. I wouldn't want to be him now if you ask me," Sonja replied.
"That's no way to show support for our team member, babe," said Ultima X.
"Gross. Just look at all of those scars on his body," Mystic Celesta shuddered in thought.
"I guess he wasn't lying about all those fights he's been through," Max said.
Saitou's Lair. 7:48 P.M.
The Dark Angel turned his direction towards the Uraotoko face on the cavern wall. He had heard what Max and his friends were commenting on. The boy had brought up about how Saitou could have gotten all of those scars on his body.
"Didn't anyone tell you about assuming, Max Kamiya? My enemies didn't inflict these wounds. Nobody has hurt me that terribly," Saitou answered. "No, I gave myself these scars. Each cut at a time. I cut myself across my body as part of my training."
Omega X wiped his forehead and immediately positioned himself into a battle stance.
"Great. So, I'm dealing with a massicist? He also has one hell of a build. Stronger than even the strongest of chrome digizoid armor. Yet, he's all flesh with no armor protection. That's one hell of a defense mechanism," Omega X thought. "Even when I started punching him, my hands were hurting like hell."
"Now, Taichi. Let's fight like there's a little more at stake."
As Saitou stepped forward, Omega X puts his fists and powers up a bright golden aura. The Dark Angel raised his right hand up and waved his hand as if he were summoning something. Omega X caught a glimpse of a purple orb emerging out of the lake. To his shock, it was the same ki ball that Saitou had created and dispersed earlier. It was hiding within the murky waters. Omega X didn't even detect it!
The ki ball traveled out across the caverns and stopped right beside Saitou like an obedient pet. The Dark Angel now had another plan in mind with the use of his ki ball.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:48 P.M.
The group watched the turn of events unfolds with the ki ball returning to Saitou's command. Neo had a pleasant smile across his face, knowing Saitou was gaining back the upper hand.
"Good, good, Saitou-san. You have not lost your composure. That's what I like about you."
"Great! This is just great!" Keke growled.
"He can create ki balls without even touching them," replied War Angemon. "This is nothing new, but there's no telling what he plans to do with it."
"Damn, if only this guy wasn't so hard to predict," BW said. "Then, I could probably read his motives."
"That's right. And this is just the beginning," stated Kaiser Greymon.
"Saitou-san," Rei whispered. "Please, don't kill, Taichi. Just let it go and forget this demand for mankind's extinction."
"Sorry, sister. There is nothing that can be done. Saitou has chosen his path and I plan to follow his lead," Neo said. "As I said, you can't save the damned."
"Hey! Look! His body is starting to emit an aura! I'm sensing it and its frequency is even remotely equal with Tai's!" Mystic Celesta warned the group.
"Impossible! You mean his raising his power level to match up with Tai's!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
Saitou's Lair. 7:48 P.M.
Within a matter of seconds, Saitou's body was trembling and becoming covered by a sinister, purple aura. The ki within his body was growing at an extraordinary rate, which even Omega X was stunned to read through. It was indeed equal with Omega X's power at the current moment.
However, this was not what shocked Omega X. Even after powering up, Saitou lets loose his ki aura and unleashes a horde of ki balls surrounding his body. Yes, he had just unleashed a large array of ki balls all across his body. There were about a hundred ki balls to be precise. Omega X's gasped out in shock and utter horror.
"What! No way in hell!"
Saitou smiled while remaining frozen in place with the ki balls shielding him.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:48 P.M.
Even Tai's group was stunned by Saitou's ability to create a large array of ki weapons to protect himself.
"Wow, now that's what I call an insurance policy!" Beetlemon remarked.
"This is no time to be joking, Beetlemon," Magna Garurumon muttered.
"Just look at those, Kari!" War Angemon exclaimed.
"I know! All he did was power up his ki aura and already he's created a hundred ki balls all at once," Mystic Celesta answered.
"I have to admit. At least it's original," Beelzebumon said.
"Original or not, Tai's in major trouble if he doesn't do something soon," Pikkan growled.
"I mean, just look at all of those balls! Kind of like a minefield! If you put them together, it would be about the same size as my dad's Times Ten Terra Beam," Max stated.
"No, it probably could even be greater!" answered BW.
"You're kidding!" Keke exclaimed. "Even stronger than Tai's strongest Terra Beam!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:48 P.M.
Omega X stood his ground yard away from where Saitou surrounded himself with his ki ball minefield. The Dark Angel chuckled before speaking out for his adversary to hear him out.
"How about I get serious with you briefly, Taichi? Now, watch closely!"
(Theme ends)
With that said, the ki balls all combined into a single, large condensed energy ball. Saitou lowers it across from him and prepares to send it across Omega X with a single kick. He calls out forth his patented technique, which has been notorious for granting him many victories with some of the deadliest opponents faced.
"KIKOU RESSHU SHI EN DAN!"
(Play Final Fantasy VII theme Battle theme)
With a single kick, Saitou slams his foot against the energy sphere. The sphere then exploded into an array of deadly ki balls. Naturally, they would attack at multiple directions but can attack a single opponent in an organized attack pattern. In this case, the ki balls were coming directly for Omega X at top speed. Omega X leaped back and quickly began to formalize a plan to avoid the ki balls.
"Ok, Tai! Remember that old game of dodge ball from gym class! You were the king of it before becoming king of soccer! Damn, I won't even have time to use my Time Warp at the range they're traveling!"
The first ki balls slammed against the ground near Omega X's feet. He leaped away from the blasts and flipped across to avoid more. He takes flight across the caverns to avoid the blasts. Unfortunately, these blasts were also programmed to be homing-like missile attacks. They would follow out every direction Omega X as long as they lock a trace onto his ki. He throws out a ki blast to blow away two ki balls. More balls came hurtling towards him. Omega X desperately evaded the ki balls. He finally found time to use his Time Warp. He immediately used it to phase away to the other side of the caverns.
Unbeknownst to him, some leftover ki balls are hurtling out from another direction. One successfully made its mark across the warrior's face. More started slamming against his body and inflicted heavy damage on him. Omega X unleashes a painful cry as each target hit their mark. Omega X was pushed back across the cavern space after each blow. Already showing fatigue, Omega X panted heavily and tried to stay up on his feet. Another ki ball slammed against his chest and sent him hurtling across the caverns.
Just then, Saitou phases out across a crevice wall and flies out towards his adversary. He throws out a punch, which Omega X managed to dodge. However, he was not prepared for the Dark Angel's next attack. Saitou throws out his right leg and watches it create an impact across Omega X's left cheek. The warrior's eyes were becoming glazed over and looked to be out of it. Saitou spins his opponent around and delivers a boot into his stomach. Omega X felt the wind knocked out of him. The warrior plummeted down into the ground cavern ground. More ki balls came shooting down from the ceiling and penetrated through where Omega X was laying sprawled.
(Theme fades)
Saitou lands down a distance away from where the blasts were already dissipating. A large smoke cloud formed from where Omega X was laying. Was this all that was needed to put down the warrior of courage, or would the Dark Angel need more to put away his adversary?
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:48 P.M.
The gather outside the cavern were looking on with utter horror at the turn of events. Sora winched at every impact hit her husband received from Saitou. The digimon held back their inner rage and urge to save their comrade. They knew they would only be signing their own death warrants. However, that didn't stop Shintomon from attempting to interfere.
"Geez, Tai's taking a beating!" Kazu exclaimed. "Get up, man!"
"Who would thought we'd see a human with that much power! He's even giving Omega X at his fourth level form a run for his money!" Kenta said.
"This is bad! Max's dad is one strong guy, but he's getting thrashed in there! I didn't think it was possible a human with extraordinary power can overtake him!" Dimitri scoffed.
"Judging by his current power, I'd say Saitou is stronger than all of the seven monsters combined," Gosenzomon implied.
"Does that include that Doomsdramon fellow?" Mummymon asked. "I would hope not…"
"Dark Angel's current strength has already greatly surpassed even Doomsdramon. Taichi's power increased a hundred fold after fusing with Yamato," Buddamon informed the group. "But even now, Saitou is managing to hold his own against Taichi."
"Not good! I can't believe there's a guy like him," Mimi said while pointing over to Saitou's image over the orb.
Having heard enough from the team, Shintomon sits up and prepares to teleport inside the caverns to give aid to Omega X. Gosenzomon clearing his throat immediately stopped his desperate attempt.
"Shintomon, my boy. Don't you even think about," Gosenzomon warned the youth.
"Sir! You have to let me go! I cannot stand here and watch this continue! I have an obligation to aid Taichi during a time of crisis. This is no different!"
"He's right, Shintomon," Buddamon said. "Please, the only course of action we can do is watch and support Taichi to the very end."
"As much as I hate to admit it…" Sora muttered. "They're right, Shintomon. Phoenixmon and I really want to go in there to help Tai, but even we would only get in the way. Shintomon. You are vital to us. You and higher powers chose Taichi as your champion. You would only be interfering with the prophecy."
"But…"
Lady Moinanea calmly sighed and placed a hand over Shintomon's right hand. She quirked a smirk and gives a nod to her husband.
"It's not over, Shintomon. Rest easy. If anything goes wrong, X will be there to ensure Taichi claims victory. Everything is under control."
"Yes. Thank you for easing me down, my lady. I just hope this ends with the right man coming out on top. C'mon, X. You've got hurry it up in there!"
Inside Demon' Cavern. A minute from Saitou's Lair. 7:49 P.M.
Meanwhile, deep inside the caverns, X found himself at the center of a wide-open space. Three cavern passages were ahead with only one leading to Saitou's Lair. Coincidentally, this is where Mari's territory once stood.
The masked man closed his eyes and started to feel off two strong kis coming from the center passageway. He points out towards it and nods.
"Thanks to reading their ki and Gatomon's hikari stones, I didn't have any problems searching for Tai."
Taking careful measures, X started running across towards the center. He increased his pace in order to reach the lair in time to save his apprentice against the Dark Angel.
"Hang in there, Tai! Don't you are get your ass killed!"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:49 P.M.
The crew within Neo's territory could only look on as their beloved hero was buried underneath an overwhelming amount of ki blasts. Max couldn't even pick up on his father's ki anymore.
"Dad! No! Don't… Don't tell me that he's dead!" Max cried.
"No! He cannot die, Max! He is your father! Taichi Kamiya!" Keke reassured her friend. "Snap out of it!"
"My brother hasn't been done in," Mystic Celesta said.
"I would hope so since I can't even sense his ki anymore," War Angemon replied.
"That's because you aren't even concentrating on it very hard," Cyberleomon informed the team.
"C'mon, Tai. Get your ass up and continue!" BW said.
"Taichi!" Rei cries out.
"Don't you guys worry," Ultima X stated. "It will take more than that to finish Tai!"
"Agreed! He can take more than just that!" Dorothy said. "I'm even surprised those blasts didn't destroy the planet itself."
"He condensed his energy to prevent his attacks from causing any real damage to the planet," Metalla X said. "Yes, even that bastard knows how to control his ki without recklessly attempting to destroy the planet."
"But then again, if he takes that kind of attack a few more times… He'll surely be finished," Gallantmon thought.
"What are you thinking, Gallantmon?" Sakuyamon asked.
"Just praying that he makes a comeback."
"C'mon, Tai! Get up and fight!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed. "Damn! If only we can break through and help him!"
"But we can't as long as Neo maintain his territory," replied Zephrymon.
"Kouji. We can attempt to break out of here if the situation worsens, ok?" Loweemon suggested.
"Not like it will do any good, but sure. Anything to get out of this dump," Magna Garurumon replied.
Neo turned his direction towards the group and chuckled to himself. He turned back towards the battle itself to watch his older nemesis being wasted by the Dark Angel.
Saitou's Lair. 7:49 P.M.
(Repeat Battle theme)
Looking across from the damage he created with his attack, Saitou peered through the dissipating smoke cloud. A lone figure emerged out of the smoke with some damage inflicted across his body. Omega X has a few bruises and cuts on his form. He lifted himself up and was slowly catching his breath. He immediately shook the cobwebs out of his head and flew out of the smoke cloud. He stops a few feet away from Saitou with an angry glare.
"Is that all you've got! I'm not through yet!"
"My, my. You are a tough one indeed! You are quite the fool, Taichi. Yet, you still cannot defeat me."
"I maybe a fool but I'm still going to kick your ass!"
"Now, there's reason number two on why you can't defeat me. You are terribly weak against attacks from multiple angles. Your immediate defenses are ineffective at best."
"What!"
"You're used to fighting one-against-one. You've been spoiled and have fought fairly with too many opponents in just singles encounters. On the other hand, I always fought alone against larger numbers of adversaries."
Once again summoning his ki aura, he gathered the energy needed and created another minefield of ki ball detonators.
"Aw, crap! Not this again!"
"This Kikou Resshushi En Dan technique came about as a result. You cannot evade this technique by yourself. Even with your Time Warp, they will follow you everywhere you attempt to escape. There's no escaping their target."
"Impossible! After releasing that much ki a moment ago, he can still put out the same amount of power! He hasn't even lost fatigue yet!"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:49 P.M.
"No! This is bad!" BW exclaimed.
"This is really bad!" said Mystic Celesta.
"What's the big deal? He can just use his Terra Beam to blow those suckers away," Beelzebumon stated.
"No, that's not it. Who would have though there would be this much difference between them!" War Angemon said. "He's much stronger than Tai now. I hate to admit it."
"He's stronger than my dad now! I can't believe that!" Max cried out.
Saitou's Lair. 7:49 P.M.
"Now! We bring to reason number three on why you cannot beat me, Taichi. This one is the most critical reason. So, do please pay attention. The difference in the total volume of our ki, or what I would like to call power ratings. If your spirit power ranking is a ten, I would be at a hundred."
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:49 P.M.
"Is he saying that he has ten times the power rating of Tai!" Kaiser Greymon asked.
"That's exactly right and even Tai knows it. At least, I hope he does," Gallantmon replied.
"That can't be!" Rei cried out. "There's too much difference in their power levels! Taichi will be murdered at this range!"
"C'mon, big brother!" Mystic Celesta thought.
"Father! Don't let his bluff intimidate you! You can still cream this guy!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:49 P.M.
Saitou's ki balls quickly condensed together once again into his patented single sphere. He delivers a kick to send his attack forward towards Omega X.
"KIKOU RESSHUSHI EN DAN!"
"Damn! Here we go again! Dodge ball!"
Omega X lets out a battle cry and dodges each ki ball using his teleportation technique. He swats one attack away and sends a ki blast to disperse some. Unfortunately, more came straight for him and quickly overwhelmed him. Each blast made their mark and inflicted more damage on his body. He was caught in yet the same predicament as before. Omega X rolled across the ground with the ki balls slamming towards where he was laying.
Looking with satisfaction, Saitou smirked at his handy work. He looked across to see Omega X emerging out of the smoke cloud with more inflicted cuts. Blood emerged from the cuts and his face was contorted with sweat. Despite shortage of breath, Omega X was able to lift himself from the ground.
"That was just the second volley, Taichi. You won't be able to evade this next assault."
"Damn… My body is hurting like a bitch…"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:49 P.M.
"At this range, Tai is breaking down. Both mentally and physically. Damn, I haven't seen him like this since we fought Doomsdramon," Gallantmon said.
"His power has greatly increased a hundred fold since our fusion as Kaiser X and that should have helped him," Metalla X said. "But, now he's getting owned by this guy."
"This just comes to show us that Saitou is no joke. His power even greatly exceeds the seven monsters," Cyberleomon said.
"Even Doomsdramon!" Ultima X asked.
"I'm afraid he's right," replied BW.
"If that's the case, then Tai might as well write his death warrant," Sonja said.
"Screw you guys! You aren't clearly showing any support for my dad!"
"We are, but how can he get out of this mess?" Mega Gargomon asked.
"Heck, I haven't given up hope on Tai," Kaiser Greymon said. "C'mon, Tai! Get up!"
"Get up, dad! You can't quit now! A Kamiya never quits!"
"That's right…" Mystic Celesta whispered. "A Kamiya never quits."
Saitou's Lair. 7:50 P.M.
Omega X stepped forward after regaining his second wind. Without making eye contact with the Uraotoko, he spoke out towards his supporting team.
"Thanks for the hint, guys. I really needed that one. If that is all your ki can do to me, then allow me to say what an old cartoon character used to say! HA-HA! That's a ha-ha to you! Look at how fine I am! I don't care if you do have ten times the power advantage than I do! I took on Yamato many times before, I defeated Burizalor, I've taken Virus' best shots, I've helped take down the D-Reaper, I've slain Bebimon, and I took down the strongest of the seven monsters just before I got here! I took all of their hits and can surely take yours!"
"There's a difference that separates myself from all of them. I fight with divine justice on my side… AND JUSTICE KILLS!"
With that said, Saitou delivers a kick and sends yet another dosage of his Kikou Resshushi En Dan. The single condensed sphere exploded into an array of ki balls. Omega X was prepared for the worst to come and hoped this was the last time his adversary uses such a deadly attack.
(Theme ends)
Local Odaiba Hospital. 7:50 P.M.
Noticing the monsters starting to rampage across the city, Yolei, her family and the children were still determined to stay put at Ken's rest bed. Hawkmon had digivolved into Aquillamon to take combat into the city and ward off all approaching digimon.
"We have to leave now before those monsters tear this facility!" Mrs. Ichijouji cried out in horror.
"I'm not leaving Ken behind! Plus, Aquillamon will fend them off," Yolei assured Ken's mother.
"Oh, dear. This isn't looking good. I'm afraid the tunnel is very close to opening up," Wormmon said with grief in his voice.
"No! You've got to be kidding!" Yolei shouted. "Oh, just our luck! Ok, if things start getting bad for Aquillamon, then we will leave. However, we're taking Ken's body along with us. There's no way I'm leaving him behind."
With that said, the young man laid her head across Ken's cold chest and sighed in sadness.
"What's taking them so long with that tunnel? It should have been closed by now. We need those digicores if we are to revive Ken and save our world. Why is my heart telling me that this whole mess is only going to get worse?" Yolei thought.
Saitou's Lair. 7:50 P.M.
With one swift kick, Saitou sends another dosage of his Kikou Resshushi En Dan. The single condensed sphere exploded into an array of ki balls. Omega X was prepared for the worst to come and hoped this was the last time his adversary uses such a deadly, perfectly efficient attack.
Omega X quickly had an idea in mind and immediately charges forward through the ki balls. He uses ki blasts to disperse numerous ki balls and uses his Time Warp to teleport around the caverns. More ki balls were following Omega X like a bulls eye target. He leaped up and cupped his hands together.
"TERRA BEAM!"
The warrior unleashes a powerful wave of energy to blow away another array of ki balls. Immediately using his Time Warp, he phases across from Saitou. He shoots out a ki blast to disperse the balls randomly.
"Surprise! That didn't hurt!"
"Cocky fool…"
"If I can't evade those damn shots, then I'll just put up with it!"
With a single punch, Omega X shatters a ki ball with a mighty force. The force was enough to cause the caverns to tremble like an earthquake.
"The best defense is a good offense! That's one of my mottos and it's helped me defeat many punks like you!"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:50 P.M.
"Whoa! You go, dad!" Max exclaimed. "You can do it!"
"He's improved his strategy," replied Pikkan. "This is good."
"Maybe then, he can find to penetrate through Saitou's offense attacks and find an opening," stated War Angemon.
"Unless, he becomes too full of himself," sighed Metalla X.
"That's the same way I would approach the situation! Just go ahead and kick some ass!" Kaiser Greymon said.
"Now you're full of yourself," Zephrymon muttered.
"Besides the attack power of those ki balls are weak when not attacking at once," replied BW.
"Right, they're strong when they're condensed together," said Mystic Celesta.
"Nice way to change tactics, Tai!" Ultima X shouted. "Now give him a good kick in the face!"
"Before Saitou decides to pull another trick out of his sleeve," Sonja said.
"Don't jinx him like that," Beelzebumon stated. "Geez, that's the last thing we need lady!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:50 P.M.
Omega X phases out and reappears above Saitou. The warrior raised his fist out and flew at the Dark Angel for another head-on assault. He immediately responds by throwing out an array of fists across. Saitou was quick to dodge the blows swiftly. The fists were so fast that not even the crew was able to keep up with him.
"Ha! What's the matter, jackass! Weren't you going to hit me with that as much as I liked! Huh! Here is a good reason why I am going to gain an upper hand! I'm going to smash your face in!"
"He's fast! Faster than I thought!"
"I've wrecked that thing you said about me being weak against multi-angle attacks! I'm not as predictable as you think! Now then, you said you could read my attacks, right!"
With that said, Omega X jumps aside from Saitou and finds the lake behind him. The Dark Angel wondered what his adversary was planning at this very moment.
"Bet you didn't see this one coming!"
He immediately falls into the lake and takes a dive under. Saitou was shocked at the actions of his adversary and sighed deeply.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:50 P.M.
The crew, excluding Neo, Metalla X, Pikkan and BW, were shocked beyond believe. Metalla X nodded his head in shame and cursed out the warrior of courage. Max and Keke's mouths hung wide open with sweat drops coming down their foreheads.
"What the hell was that for!" exclaimed Max.
"This is no time to be taking a dip!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
"Get out of the damn water! We only have ten minutes left to spare!" Metalla X said.
"He's one for a fool," Cyberleomon said. "What's the reason behind this?"
"It has to be some form of strategy! I just know it!" Gallantmon shouted.
"Either that or he's simply just an idiot," sighed Sakuyamon.
"Um, Tai! You better get out of the water before he dives in after you!" Dorothy cried out.
"Tai. There better be a reason behind this insanity," BW thought.
Saitou's Lair. 7:50 P.M.
Omega X's laughter was echoing across the caverns while he was swimming across the lake like a professional swimmer. Saitou remained silent despite watching his fated adversary swimming around like a fool.
"How's this! Can you read what action I'm about to take next! Huh!"
Finally emerging out of the lake, Omega X patted his pants and shook his hair in order to dry it. He patted both ears to push the water out pf his ears.
"Ah, now that swim was quite refreshing! Now I'm ready to go for another round! On with my strategy again!"
With that said, Omega X flies out towards Saitou for another assault. The Dark Angel simply laughed at his futile attempts and called out his bluff.
"So, you go back to another predictable assault. The same old convention punches!"
Omega X was catching up with Saitou and quickly formed two energy discs from both of his hands.
"That whole charade earlier was just so you could buy time to recover your strength, right!"
"TAKE THIS! GAIA DISCS!"
The warrior prepared to hurl the energy discs towards Saitou. Even the Dark Angel put out an arm into a self-defense and created an aura shield to dissipate the discs. However, Omega X had another idea in mind. He cancelled out his discs and ripped a small portion of his pants off his right leg. He took the wet pant cloth quickly throws it across Saitou's left arm. Saitou was caught off guard by the sheer fact that Omega X had planned this since jumping into the lake. The wet cloth would keep Saitou's arm intact to prevent him from blocking anymore.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:50 P.M.
"Nice counter!" Mystic Celesta phrased her brother's immediate counter.
"I didn't think he'd pull something as simple as this," said War Angemon.
"See, Max? Your dad knew what he was doing," Keke said.
"I knew he'd counter it!"
"Now, lay it to him!" Beetlemon said while dancing around in celebration.
"Now this way, he can keep Saitou from using his Resshu-ken techniques and the blocking style," Pikkan said.
"Even that bastard didn't see it coming," snickered BW.
"This is your chance, dad! Do it before time runs out!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:50 P.M.
(Marlyn Manson's theme Fight)
"Huh! So this is what you went into the water for!"
"I've caught you at last! You can't run away now! Bet you didn't see this one coming, karate boy!"
Omega X shoots out numerous ki blasts directly into Saitou's exposed chest. Each blow started to take effect on the Dark Angel. Omega X flies up with Saitou along. He looks out towards a cavern wall and slams him through. The pile of debris was shattered by the aura created by Omega X. Slamming back down onto the ground, Saitou felt the air knocked out of him and spat out a mouth full of blood. Omega X proceeded to channel more ki through his fist.
"Now, you can't get away, you asshole!"
He throws out a single punch across at Saitou and lands a good one on his left cheek.
"NO MORE BLOCKING FOR YOU!"
Omega X throws out an array of fists across Saitou's face. His face contorted in pain and agony from each devastating punch from the fully powered warrior. Any normal person would have shuddered at the sight of Saitou's bruised and bloody face because of these devastating fists to the face.
"DON'T EVER GO NEAR MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY! YOU MADE THE WRONG MISTAKE BY KIDNAPPING MAX! AHH!"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:50 P.M.
"Yeah! Give it to him, dad! Make these hits count! Make sure he never gets up again!" Max cheered out for his father.
"Wow, he's certainly back in a good mood, isn't he?" Keke giggled.
"Don't stop now!" Kaiser Greymon and Gallantmon exclaimed in unison.
"Typical goggle heads," sighed Sakuyamon.
"They're almost like brothers if you ask me," Mega Gargomon stated.
"I didn't think it would have been this easy," Dorothy commented.
"No kidding! We're going to be out of here and done with this mission!" Ultima X said.
"Good, now I can rest easy and get a bite to eat," Beelzebumon said.
"Dang, I sure wouldn't want to be Saitou right now," Koriikakkumon said.
"Now hurry up and finish it!" Pikkan hollered.
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
"I know! I know! I know! I know! Don't have to tell me twice!"
With another punch, Saitou's face contorted with pain. His eyes became glazed over and lost their glare. Omega X takes advantage of his near unconscious opponent and prepares for the finishing blow.
"I never thought you'd be this much of a wuss! One more hit and it's over!"
(Theme ends)
Suddenly, the glare within Saitou's eyes changed. Perhaps for the worst. His left eye emitted a bright blow and his irises thinned out. Omega X could even feel out the Dark Angel's ki changing. Dark Angel's right arm pointed across at Omega X and shoot out a wide beam. The beam tore right through Omega X's torso and forced him to fly back in slow motion. What really shoot the beam was not Saitou's hand but was now replaced his hand. It was no a large, arm cannon, similar to what Megaman uses on his enemies. However, this one was black with gray stripes across its sides. Omega X's eyes widened as he caught glimpses of himself near death's doors.
Omega X flew across the cavern and lands down across from where Saitou was laying. The gaping hole in Omega X's lower chest was nasty and gruesome. It looked as if somebody had shot a double barrel through it. He spat out a mouth full of blood while wheezing within the threshold.
Saitou sits up from the ground with his arm cannon intact. A gust of smoke emerged through the gun itself and dissipated. The glare across his face has changed. It was dark, yet menacing.
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:51 P.M.
"FATHER!" Max cried out while attempting to break through the dimensional barrier.
"BIG BROTHER!" screamed Mystic Celesta.
"What was that just now!" asked Pikkan.
"That's what I'd like to know!" Beetlemon panicked.
"Crap. He just transformed his arm into an arm-cannon!" growled Bw.
"Who does he think is, Megaman!" Ultima X cried out.
"You win the booby prize," sighed Sonja.
"Looks like he used a portion of his ki and transformed it into a cannon blast. Nothing unusual, but we didn't see this coming," War Angemon stated.
"Damn! This isn't good! Tai is looking terrible now!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed. "I don't know about you but I'm going out there to save him! What do you say, warriors!"
"I suggested the idea," Loweemon said. "Let's go, Kouji!"
"Right!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
(Play the Psycho theme)
Saitou's head contorted several times before it reverted to its dark, menacing glare once again. Back on the ground, Omega X struggled to get to his feet despite the massive wound through his lower chest.
"Damn… I'm losing… energy…"
"SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU'RE CRYING LIKE A LITTLE BITCH!"
The Dark Angel, with a different tone of voice, stepped towards his fallen opponent. His tone was now rough and sounded almost like a demon from hell itself.
"DON'T GO GETTING FULL OF YOURSELF! DON'T LIKE THE PAIN! WELL, SUCK IT UP AND GET OFF YOUR STINKING ASS!"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:51 P.M.
The entire crew was stunned to hear the Dark Angel blurting out some colorful language all of a sudden. Before, he was calm and collected but now had lost control of his sanity. However, Neo wasn't surprised by these turn of events.
"Whoa! What's this all of sudden!" asked Dorothy.
"His tone of voice changed all of a sudden," stated Cyberleomon.
"You heard that, too?" Pikkan said.
"The look on his face and his ki has also changed," stated War Angemon.
"That sure doesn't sound like him anymore. Maybe Tai knocked some screws lose out of him?" Beelzebumon said.
"That bastard tensed up and snapped if you ask me," growled Kaiser Greymon.
"He's got quite the potty mouth," Gallantmon said.
"Oh like we haven't cursed in our lives before," Mega Gargomon sighed. "I've said just about every curse word in the alphabet!"
"Well, I think we can all agree that Saitou has lost," said Mystic Celesta.
"It's not him," Neo's voice calls out.
The group turned around to make eye contact with Neo. What was about to say next was the most startling secret behind the true nature of Himo Saitou.
"He's been replaced. The one who produces the weapon you see is none other than the ruffian, Kain."
"Kain! What are you babbling about!" Max exclaimed.
"He hasn't be substituted! That's the same guy only with a potty mouth," Magna Garurumon snapped.
"Not to mention he just blew a hole through Tai!" Beetlemon said.
"They're right. What proof do you have that is not the same Saitou!" asked Zephrymon.
"This is Himo Saitou! Who's this Kain character?" Kaiser Greymon said.
Suddenly, Dorothy, Loweemon, BW and Mystic Celesta were the first to realize the truth behind Saitou's nature. They knew what he meant by the 'seven'.
"You mean multiple personalities!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
"Yeah, I was going to bring that up. I didn't realize it until his voice changed," Loweemon said.
"Multiple person- what now! Ugh, this is getting too weird!" Keke said.
"It is indeed true," Neo stated. "There are seven coexisting and living within Saitou, including his primary one, Himo. Each one with distinct traits and talents. Each one with a different level of power and intellect."
"What! There's seven of them!" Gallantmon gasped.
"That can't be. Why didn't I see this coming?" Rei wondered. "I can't believe this!"
"You had better give us a good explanation, pal," Beelzebumon growled. "Before I blow your brains out!"
"Don't Beelzebumon!" Pikkan snapped. "Neo. Give us an explanation."
"Very well."
As Beelzebumon backed away, the boy was prepared to give further explanation behind Saitou's true character.
"There are seven alternate miserable personalities that Saitou himself created during his endless battles. His subconscious created them to cope with the internal madness. Call an impulsive defense mechanism."
"I understand. I was studying about this," Mystic Celesta said. "He does bring up valid points."
"He created the others in order to overcome the trauma when he saw the humans committing acts of vile nature to the innocent digimon. The one you guys had been fighting up until now was Hojo. Hojo is the arguer personality. Apparently, he was so shocked by the unexpected counterattack by Taichi that he switched out with Kain the sadist."
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
Back within the caverns, Kain Saitou stepped forward over Omega X's fallen form. He kicked at the warrior's side and forced him to holler out in pain. He stomped down across his gaping hole and listened to blood being squished along with some of Omega X's internals.
"You like that! Don't ya! Ha! Yeah! Feels good!" Saitou laughed.
He stomps down onto Omega X's wound and presses down. He proceeded to stomp down like a happy child but in a rather sadistic manner.
"There! That ought to clog up your wound!"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:51 P.M.
"Ugh! C'mon, guys! We're breaking out of here!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Let's go, Kouji!" Loweemon said.
"Right behind you!"
"Don't forget about us!" the other legendary warriors cried out.
"Time to bust out of here!" Gallantmon screamed.
"DAD! Damn, that's what I call an insanity tag team!" Max cried out.
"Heh. Kain is by far the most ruthless and cold-blooded of the Seven. He is the killing specialist, even among the Seven. He's been known to torture small children purely for entertainment value. In fact, in his homicidal insanity, he would gladly even kill babies."
As Max continued watching his father being thrashed and kicked across the caverns, he felt an overwhelming power. His body became surrounded by a bright aura. Even his hand was glowing brightly with energy. Ever cry of agony boiled the boy's blood further and made him want to murder Saitou even more. He couldn't stand the laughter echoing across. His father was lying helpless without a way to defend himself.
"Dad… No! I won't let him kill you! I won't! FATHER!"
"Max! Stay back! You let Takuya, Takato and the others find a way out of here!" Keke said as she restrained her friend.
"That's my father out there! You'd do the same if it was your dad!"
"Max…"
"Don't worry. We're going to be breaking out of here! You hang in there, Tai! We're coming!" Mystic Celesta screamed while forming an aura.
After letting out a loud agonizing cry, Max's hand became equipped with a ki-based sword. He was more than ready to slice his way through the dimensional barrier.
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
Saitou stands over Omega X with his cannon arm loaded and ready to fire once again. A sick, twisted grin forms across his face and he did not even look sympathetic over his actions. No remorse on this sadistic human being.
"Did that surprise you! This is what I truly have up my sleeve!"
"You damn cheat…"
"Hojo was a little too chatty for my taste. I'll continue where he left off. I really dug that list of reasons. I'd like to add one. Here is the fourth reason why you are never going to defeat me and why you are going to be skinned! Ha! That's because I, Kain, have arrived!"
With that said, Saitou pointed his arm cannon directly towards the fallen Omega X. He fires a shot that barely shot him in the head. It only managed to penetrate through the ground away from his head. Saitou fires off more blasts and pierces sections of the earth around Omega X's fallen form.
However, Dark Angel wasn't finished from there. He aimed his arm cannon and shoots out a laser beam. The beam itself cut the ground itself and carved open spots where Omega X was laying.
"There, first let me make a precision for your skin. Yeah, I'm going to skin you alive. Ha. Ha. Skin you ALIVE!"
(Theme fades)
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:51 P.M.
Max sprang forward and attempted to his ki sword to slice through the dimensional barrier. However, unlike his confrontation with Ice Maker, this sword was much too weak to even make a precision through the barrier.
"Damn it! Why can't my ki-sword cut through! I cut through Rei's dimension! Why can't it do the same here! Hang on, dad! I'm coming!"
"Max! Stop!" Keke screamed.
"All right, guys! On my count! One! Two! FIRE!" Kaiser Greymon ordered.
"ELECTRON CANNON!"
"HURRICANE HAIL!"
"AVALANCHE AXES!"
"SHADOW METEOR!"
"MAGNA ROCKETS!"
"DRAGONFIRE CROSSBOW!"
Once the legendary warriors unleashed their attack onto the dimension barrier, the Tamer megas were next up to preparing their assault. By combining their attacks, they would attempt to break through Neo's territory.
"Now, Tamers!" Gallantmon hollered out before charging up for his attack.
"SPIRIT STRIKE!"
"GARGO MISSILES!"
"JUSTICE FIST!"
"CHAOS FLARE!"
"FINAL JUSTICE!"
After the Tamers finished, it was BW, Pikkan, Cyberleomon and Dorothy to take action.
"I'm taking that barrier down! TERRA DESTROYER!" BW cries out as he launched twin massive spheres through his calms.
"THUNDER FLASH ATTACK!"
"JUSTICE FIST!"
"SHINGAMI CHAOS BEAM!"
"Our turn, Davis!" Sonja calls out. "Ready!"
"You bet!" replied Ultima X.
"ULTIMA BLAST!"
"POWER BLITZ!"
"It's down to us, Takeru," Mystic Celesta said to her husband. "Matt! C'mon!"
With a nod, Metalla puts out his hands and powers up for his ultimate attack. First, Mystic Celesta and War Angemon were setting up for a double team attack.
"HOLY-"
"HOLY-"
"BEAM!"
"NOW FEEL THE WRATH OF MY… ICE BARRIER BEAM!" Metalla X howled.
With everyone's combined blasts penetrating against the barrier, it all came down to a smoke cloud engulfing the spot where they fired. The dimension barrier remained intact. Everyone was shocked in disbelief that none of his or her attacks was unable to penetrate the dimensional barrier.
"What! It didn't work!" Keke exclaimed. "No! I can't be!"
"I can't believe it," Kaiser Greymon gasped.
"We can't even break out of this hellhole!" Beetlemon panicked once again. "We're trapped!"
"And my brother's in trouble! We can't even save him!"
"Father!"
"Ha. You guys are wasting your time," said Neo. "You have to know that you cannot slip out of the subspace of a Uraotoko using that sort of thing. My territory is impenetrable."
"Shit. Nothing can penetrate through?" Pikkan cursed.
Metalla X simply scoffed at the elder Saiba. Max slammed his fists against the barrier wall while viewing the indescribable horror of his father being toyed around by Saitou's sadistic face.
"FATHER! FATHER! PLEASE! I HAVE TO SAVE YOU!" the boy cried out in sheer angst. "FATHER!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
(Repeat Psycho) Meanwhile, Saitou was still giggling like a madman over his incapacitated adversary. Blood emerged from out of the deepening gash wound from Omega X. The psychotic Kain Saitou waved his arm cannon and determining which body section he would blast next.
"So, tell me, punk. Tell me. You're the one laying there. Tell me. How does it feel? How does it feel like being a wounded animal? Good, right?"
Omega X simply glared up at him as if he had completely lost his mind. Dark Angel saw the look the warrior was giving him and felt offended, to say the least.
"I-I don't like that look in your eye! You think I lost it, don't you! You think I've gone off the deep end! You think you're better than me!"
After preaching out more of his malice, Saitou's arm cannon shot out a laser beam. He targeted one section and burned a hole right through his right arm. A grin widened across the Dark Angel's face once blood emerged from out of the wound. Next, he tortured the warrior some more by penetrating the laser through his left arm. Next, came both of his legs. Omega X's scream echoed throughout the caverns with a mix of pain, sorrow and blood-curling agony. It was indescribable to say the least.
"AHHH!"
"OH YES! CONTINUE SCREAMING! YOU'VE GOT SUCH A LOVELY SINGING VOICE!"
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:51 P.M.
"NO! I can't stand watching this anymore!" Max screamed.
"Isn't there anything we can do to help!" Keke cried out.
The boy fell to his knees and his eyes became blank. Already he was suffering from a dose of traumatic stress. Keke grabbed Max and shook him to snap him back to reality.
"MAX! WAKE UP! PLEASE!"
"We can't even penetrate through! There has to be a way!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed.
"Neo said there isn't anything we can do, but that's not going to stop us from trying!" Gallantmon shouted. "Tai's getting killed out there!"
"It'd be my pleasure to waste this punk once we get out!" BW growled.
Dorothy rushes over to Max's side and helps Keke to snap him back to reality.
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
Omega X was lying on the ground with laser holes across his limbs and body. He seethed from the threshold consuming his body. Despite the wails and cries from his loved ones, Saitou was enjoying this moment. More chuckling was heard from out of Dark Angel's mouth.
"Yes, you do have quite the lovely singing voice. Don't you! Eh! Oh yes… You won't experience any pleasure without experiencing a little pain!"
"My body… His ki lasers were enough to paralyze my freaking body! I can't even move!"
"Oh yeah! I'm enjoying this way too much!"
Saitou's arm cannon transforms into itself a cybernetic hand and he uses it to hoist Omega X up over his head. He held the severely wounded warrior like a prized trophy and let the pints of blood to drop across his face. He licked the blood from his face and grinned sheepishly. Omega X gagged under the tight grip of Saitou's metallic arm.
"That is nice, huh? You truly do have a fine crying voice."
"Argh… Max… Sora… Everyone…"
"Ah, it's a shame we have to depart from here. Now…"
The metallic arm opened up a tiny hatchet and revealed a tiny laser gun. It made a lock target for Omega X's gaping mouth. He was planning to blow Omega X's brains out and taking his soon to be headless corpse as his prized trophy.
"Now, open your mouth and… close your eyes!"
Omega X was just seconds away from his life being ultimately ended.
(Theme ends)
Neo's Territorial Dimension. 7:51 P.M.
"No! Not this way!" Mystic Celesta screamed.
"TAI!" War Angemon cried out.
"No! He's our hope! Taichi-kun!" Rei exclaimed.
Many others such as Metalla X, Pikkan, BW, Beelzebumon, the Tamers and the legendary warriors seethed angrily. At the same time, they remained stiff as statues. There was nothing else they could do to break through the barrier.
Dorothy and Keke held Max down tightly but not long before the boy burst out of his traumatized state.
"FATHER! NO!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
Before Saitou was simply one trigger from ending Omega X's life, he heard a familiar cry from out of the background of the caverns.
"HIMO!"
Dark Angel looks across towards the entrance of his secret lair to find the masked man himself. It was the former teacher of Saitou and the current one for Taichi. X, with his body flaring up an aura, had his eyes locked onto his psychotic ex-apprentice. He saw Omega X hanging up by Saitou's tight grip.
"Let him go, Saitou."
Saitou grins and drops Omega X onto the ground. He steps forward and points his metallic arm equipped with the laser down at his fallen prey.
"X. No, Himo is not here…"
"Please, stop this madness. I implore you. Stop this."
"Not on your lifetime, pal."
Omega X lifted his head from the ground and gasped to find X standing across from them.
"X… About time you got here."
At the last second, the masked man X has arrived in time to interrupt Omega X's near-death situation. One of Saitou's seven personalities was one trigger away from ending the warrior's life. But, is there any way to stop this vicious face of Saitou? Will X be enough to stop his former apprentice from killing his current one? If not… If Taichi dies, then who will stop this psychotic madman from opening up the gates of Hell itself? The end of times is simply nine minutes away!
(Digimon Frontier second ending theme "an Endless Tale")
(Preview)
Tai/Omega X: Hey, everyone! It's me, Tai! If you thought seven personalities were bad, just watch to see what gets Saitou's sadistic side ticked!
X: I finally arrive to put a stop to the madness and try to talk my former apprentice from murdering Tai. However, since he has decided to defy my wishes, I will have no choice but to employ the emerald stone Lord Huanglongmon bestowed upon me.
Saitou: Sorry, X, but we have made our choices. I'm sticking with mine.
Max: Why can't we do anything to help!
Gallantmon/Takato: Plus, there is another twisted surprise to Saitou's character.
Mystic Celesta/Kari: You mean he's already switched out to his true face! His purest of the seven!
X: Saitou. I'll do everything I can to stop you if I can!
Omega X: X! What the hell are you doing! This is my fight! Even I won't alone you to butt in!
X: Tai. I can't hold back any secrets anymore. In order for me to activate the use of this emerald, I must unmask myself to show you the true 'me'.
Omega X: You couldn't be… But how!
Max: Now, this is a shocking twist!
X: Yes, behold my true identity…
Saitou: And behold my true face. I am Himo Saitou the pure.
Shintomon: This is too mind-boggling to bear!
Sora: Next time on D-Frontier…
The Unmasking of X! The True Dark Angel Emerges, Himo Saitou!
Metalla X: This is a chapter surely you cannot miss.
Kaiser Greymon/Takuya: So, don't you miss it!
That ends another long action-packed chapter with a few twists and turns. Mixing Digimon and Yu Yu Hakusho plots is tough work. Damn. All of those twists and turns. It even boggles my mind. Heh, well anyway. There is a possibility I will leave this as a short cliffhanger. I'm going to see if I can work on Pharaohmon Arc Chapter 30 this week. Wish me luck! Until then, peace!
Chapter 204: The Unmasking of X! The True Dark Angel Emerges, Himo Saitou!

Sorry for the delay, guys. At least I got Chapter 30 of my Pharaohmon series up. I have even better news and that is: Chapter 31 WILL be posted sooner than possible this coming week. So be on the look out for that. ((smile)) As many of you notice, this saga is already winding down to the showdown between Omega X and Saitou. These next few chapters will be action packed and filled with dramatic scenes. Hope you guys are ready for that cause you'll never know when Millenniumon will show up.
Anyway, that's enough out of my egotistical ramblings. Let's get onto the chapter! Taichi vs. Saitou continues! Who is under the mask of X? Find out!
On the last Digimon Fusion, the second round between Digital World's/Earth's defender Omega X clashes with the rogue Digital warrior, Saitou the Dark Angel. Saitou is just one step away from opening the tunnel between the Human world and the Dark Realm, in order to end the human race. With all of his friends looking on inside another dimensional vortex courtesy of Neo Saiba's Uraotoko, Omega X is the only one who can stop this madman. Deep within the Demon's Cavern and under the earth's caverns, the battle has been intense! However, the gap of power between these two have proven to be too great.
Just as Omega X had just found a detour through Saitou's defenses, the Dark Angel underwent a horrific transformation-unlike many enemies of the past. It was a transformation of the mind and not the body. He in fact was revealed to have seven deadly, unique personalities. Kain, the most sadistic and cruelest of them all, has emerged to send to a place where Tai has never been before: his grave, but, just in the knick of time, X has arrived on the scene to prevent his former apprentice from killing the warrior of courage. Just what exactly does X have in store for the Dark Angel with only nine minutes left to spare before the gates to hell open?
(Digimon Frontier Opening theme "Fire!" plays)
The Unmasking of X! The True Dark Angel Emerges, Himo Saitou!
Rainbow Bridge. 7:51 P.M.
The dark ominous skies were thickening and already becoming black enough to turn the planet into a shadow realm. Radical lighting was starting to become quite a norm including the sudden appearance of 'monsters' worldwide. It was nothing like the sudden digimon invasion such as the events leading to the War Games. In fact, it was very much similar to the day when the portal to Digital Limbo opened and became synchronized with Earth's hell. To think these events were simply phases before the actual war gods known as the Synisters roam across the planet. The Digital Worlds, too, will eventually suffer the same fate.
The citizens of Tokyo, including many of its districts, were already retreating for their lives. There would be no point in staying in a city where monsters can easily create havoc and demolition. Japan's emperor attempted to speak out to calm his country down but his pleas came to no avail. The same can be said for nearly every other country with a leader, emperor, or president.
A battle across the sea channel around the Rainbow Bridge was intensifying. The New York Digi-Destined, Michael, gazed on as his digimon partner, Metal Seadramon, was keeping the rogue digimon at bay. The metallic beast used an array of his most powerful attack to knock away several Gesomon. He swung his tail across to send an Ebidramon towards the bridge.
"Gosh, darn! This is getting way out of hand!" Michael winced. "These rogue digimon are simply popping out everywhere! Here I came to Japan hoping for a vacation! This is much similar to that crisis just a few days ago with that hole in the sky! Thank goodness we took care of the problems in our country, but this is bad! If only the Digi-Destined can answer my calls!"
"RIVER OF POWER!"
Unleashing a mighty blast of blue-streamed energy, Metal Seadramon shoots down a Mega Seadramon. The red-scaled sea serpent let out a horrifying cry before collapsing into the sea.
"Talk about putting the smack down on your own ultimate level form," Metal Seadramon joked. "Michael! These guys are coming out of digital ports! I'm willing to put that Azulongmon's power is weakening. Without his digicores, there will be great unbalance between the worlds."
"And that's just Azulongmon?"
"Yes. I can't imagine what would happen if any of the other Holy Beasts lose their digicores. It would be a disaster."
"But Azulongmon's digicores are the most important since they are the ones used to grant wishes."
"That's right. Hopefully, the Digi-Destined were successful in conquering the seven beasts. They still have that rogue human to deal with."
"Which shouldn't be that big of a deal…"
"I'd like to think so, but I'm not so sure…"
Unbeknownst to Michael, Metal Seadramon was already feeling out a weakening ki coming from Demon's Cavern. He was already well aware of Omega X's incompacitation by Saitou's hand. Even he knew that he wouldn't stand a chance against this radically-powered human since Omega X level four was able to inflict any damage onto him.
"Metal Seadramon? Is there something wrong…?"
"No," the mega lied. "There's still more coming. I have a lot of work to do."
"We still have a lot of work to do! I have to convince these people to get away from the bridge as soon as possible."
"You do that, while I take care of these free loaders!"
With a nod, the blonde-haired young man sets out to group together the fleeing citizens to hurry over across the bridge. If they stayed any longer, then they would only become victimized by attacks inflicted by the digimon's attacks.
Metal Seadramon lets out a battle cry before setting off across the sea line channel to deal with another horde of Mega Seadramon. The packs chuckled amongst themselves before setting their sights on the more powerful mega. Before they even had a chance to attack, a large energy blast came raining down past Metal Seadramon and exploded through the sea bottom. The impact caused an eruption and sent the Mega Seadramon hordes scattering. Metal Seadramon looks behind to find the source of the attack. To his surprise, he found a half-man and half-horse Centaur being. It's head is encased inside a metal mask with a blade on it's top and a red eye inside the beast's concealed face. Its hands were completely metallic with purple orb-like skin patches across its body.
"Cen… Centarumon!"
"Greetings, Metal Seadramon. I take it you and Michael need some help."
"Gennai sent you here?"
"Yes, since the portals have been becoming quite the norm across the Digital World. Everyone's becoming a freeloader without the use of digivices. I see these fellows are from our Digital World in the Eastern sector of the Digi-Universe."
"I suppose so."
"In any case, we must deal with them."
"Do you not feel the warrior's ki signal fading"
"Yes, the warrior of courage is battling the rogue human. I'm positive he will pull through out of this predicament. It was thanks to he and the Digi-Destined to restore me to life after the Digital Invader fiasco many years ago."
"I see. So, I take it your two colleagues are here as well?"
"Piximon! Andromon!"
Emerging from out of a boat is a cyborg with a completely robotic body and a flesh-like right left. The other is a pink, fuzz-ball with white, angelic wings and a bow staff.
"Yay! Finally I can get some action in after those years of training!" Piximon mused.
"Centaurmon. The situation has gotten worse, hasn't it?"
"I'm afraid so, but there's nothing that is going to hold us back from carrying out our duty as Digital Knights!"
"Gennai's been worried since the warrior known as Omega X has been on the losing end."
"He's the last person we should worry about and I should know," Metal Seadramon replied. "He'll pull through like many times before. We have to stop these rogue digimon and send them back to where they came from."
"He's right! This is our obligated duty. Let Taichi and the others handle the rogue human for the time being," Centaurmon suggested.
"All right. Anyway, I was just going to have some fun with these fellows over there," Piximon said as he pointed out towards a horde of Gesomon.
"Want me to take care of these wimps?" Metal Seadramon asked.
"Nope. You just leave them with me!" Piximon hollered. "All right, you stinky calamari! It's time for some fillet!"
The four warriors sent off to take care of the small fries for the time being and with only little time to spare. These were simply easy free loaders until the actual tunnel to the Dark Realm opens after a long dormancy. Nine minutes remain for the fate of humanity's stronghold of mother earth…
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:51 P.M.
Emotions were running high with the whole outside party looking on with horrified glares. Sora's face contorted with fear and hopelessness. She had just witnessed the massacre of her husband, Taichi, at the hands of the demented Dark Angel. Phoenixmon and the other digimon were trembling in anger. On the other hand, they knew that rushing in to save Tai would only be suicidal.
Luck would have it that X had finally arrived at the center of Demon's Cavern to confront Saitou. The group had managed to let out sighs of relief at the sudden rescue since Saitou came one second from ending Omega X's immediate life.
"This is a relief!" Shintomon sighed with relief. "It's about time he made it through."
"Barely. He just barely made it," Mimi replied. "Sora…? Um…"
As Mimi turned to face Sora, the redhead woman was in the same state of mind Max was a few moments ago. Post-trauma was starting to take affect on the poor woman with her eyes glazed over. Mimi crawled over to Sora and started to push on her shoulders.
"Sora! Sora! You guys! Sora's not responding!"
"You might want to try slapping her, mom. It works every time," Dimitri suggested.
"She's undergoing post-traumatic stress right now," Rosemon replied.
"Shoot, I wouldn't blame her," Kazu said. "If that was my dad or mom in there, I'd be going crazy!"
"But you're different, Kazu. You'd go and wail on the creep," Kenta replied.
"Well, you're going to have to snap her out of it sometime," Gosenzomon said. "Whether she wants to see it or not, the fact remains that Taichi can not defeat Saitou as he is now."
"You're losing faith, elder," Lady Moinanea scoffed. "I still have faith in my champion. He will pull through and prove you wrong…"
"We'll see my lady, but for now. Well… Taichi is not looking too hot. You also forget that the others were still trapped inside the Uraotoko implemented by a Spell caster. I'm afraid Taichi is on his own, unless X has a secret weapon. I just wonder what Huanlongmon had bestowed the lad with?"
"We'll find out sooner or later," replied Joe. "Look! He's about getting ready to make his next move!"
"C'mon, X! Whatever it is, use it! We only have nine minutes left!" Cody shouted towards the viewing orb.
"It really gets to ya, doesn't it?" Armadillomon teased. "Anyway, that Saitou fella won't know what hit him."
"That is if X knows what he's getting himself into. If Saitou kills him, then we're finished," Gomamon sighed.
"You looks need to lighten up," Calumon said. "I believe there will be a good thing coming out of this! Just look on the bright side! Mr. X will fix everything!"
"I hope so little one," Shintomon thought. "For our sake and for humanity's ensured survival."
"Everyone! It's getting started! X is making his move!" announced Lopmon.
"Ooo! X looks hot but I wonder what he looks under the mask," Suzie giggled. "He must be a real hottie!"
"Oh, Sora. If only you can just snap out of it," Mimi sighed sadly.
As everyone gathered around to view the orb, footage of inside the cavern was displayed. X was shown on one side with Saitou on the other. Lying across from Saitou's feet was the incompacitated Omega X. His wounds were fresh and newly made due to Saitou's ki arm cannon. Mimi brought Sora over towards the orb and snapped her fingers in front of the traumatized woman's face.
"Sora! Please, come back to reality! Come back!"
Mimi's pleas came to no avail and even she wouldn't help to break Mrs. Kamiya's trance. She wasn't ready to be prepared to watch her husband become slaughtered like an animal and wouldn't stand if anything happened to her beloved son, Max. Her thoughts became clouded with grief, despair, hopelessness and shock from the traumatic stress. Nothing she could do to snap out of trance. Only one thing can set her free and that was her husband winning the day against another sinister entity.
Inside Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
Kain Saitou's face was contorting with indescribable pleasure and anger at the same time. Narrowing his eyes towards his former teacher, X, he pointed his metallic hand over the fallen Omega X. The masked man stopped frozen for a moment to feel pity for his current apprentice.
"X…" Saitou Kain hissed under a low tone.
Omega X slowly rises from the ground, while barely managing to hold himself up halfway. The shots across his limbs were maintaining a threshold across the warrior of courage.
"X… You best just stack back… Get away from here…"
Losing his patience with Omega X, Saitou lifted Omega X up with his flesh arm. He closes his metallic fist and immediately starts slamming it across Omega X's exposed gut. Each defeaning blow crunched more of the warrior's ribs and forced him to spit out a mouthful of crimson mass.
"YOU BEST SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:51 P.M.
Not being able to save his own father, Max unleashes another cry of angst. He quickly draws out his ki-materialized sword and attempts to slash through the barrier wall within Neo's Uraotoko subspace territory.
"NO! You get that SHIT away from him, you damn whack-job! FATHER! NO!"
"Max! Stop this! This isn't helping!" Keke exclaimed.
"She's right! There's still a chance we can escape out of here with you going on your sudden outbursts," said Mystic Celesta.
"But… Is there anything we can do to save my father! There's nothing we can do!"
"I'm sorry, Max, but there's nothing we can do. Teleportation and flight are forbidden inside this territory," War Angemon sighed. "Of course, we've already tried our combined attacks."
"None of which were successful," replied Sakuyamon.
"But who said now would be the perfect time to throw in the towel?" replied Gallantmon. "I'm still going to find a way to break through this damn barrier!"
"I told you all. It's useless," Neo reminded the entire group trapped inside his territory. "This is a subspace territory inside a Uraotoko, which I have full control over. Unless I break down my territory, you cannot escape here. Of course, if you kill me, then you will be trapped here forever since only I can set you free by my will."
Having heard enough from Neo's ramblings, Max took his ki sword and ran out towards him at full speed. He aimed closer to slash Neo in half, but he was immediately cut off short. Metalla X stepped out in front of him and slammed a fist across the boy's ki sword. The force was enough to send Max reeling back across the territory.
"Max!" Keke cried out to the boy.
"What was that for?" Beelzebumon asked.
"To keep the boy from whining. He was preparing to commit such a reckless assault. Just like his father… Ugh. He should know by killing this bastard then we will never escape."
"Sometimes I'll never understand that Matt guy," said Kaiser Greymon.
"Keke! Your dad's actions were uncalled for! What's the meaning of that, Mr. Ishida!" Max growled.
"Cool your head. Keke, you keep that boy in check."
"Um, yes, daddy."
"Max. Don't take it personally," Pikkan informed the boy. "Keke's dad made the right call. If Neo here is killed by one of us, then we will be unable to leave the inside of this Uraotoko."
"Damn… Keke. Your dad sure packs quite the punch."
"Well, he's my dad. What do you expect?" Keke giggled.
Max ignores the girl and focuses his attention back through the 'eye' of the Uratoko. Glancing down though, he saw Saitou dropping his father on the ground and leaving him coughing out more blood. X was standing a few feet away from where the Dark Angel stood.
"It was a good thing X made it there in time!" Gallantmon said. "What does he have planned for Saitou?"
"We'll know," replied Mega Gargomon.
"Hopefully something worthwhile to change the pacing and add momentum to our side," Ultima X said. "Tai is in need of our help!"
"Quiet everyone! Looks like something is going on down there," Sonja announced.
"So you're actually going to use it, X? Huanlongmon's weapon?" Pikkan thought.
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
Pointing down his hand over the crippled Omega X, Saitou maintained eye contact with X. The masked man slowly reached down into his left pocket without taking his eyes off his former apprentice.
"Please, Saitou. Don't compound your sins any further," X asked of the Dark Angel.
"Sins, you say? This isn't a sin. It's just a first step in pushing justice and order throughout both the real and digital universes. X, my sins will be decided by the Digital Realm's Court. If it makes you feel better, you can consider this capital punishment!"
With that said, Saitou's right hand transformed into it's arm-cannon form. He was preparing to fire a shot that would ultimately seal Omega X's life. X choked out a gasp and reached out to stop Saitou.
"NO! DON'T DO IT, SAITOU!"
"If there's anything I like better, it's brains splattered on the wall! Now, say goodbye, bitch!"
"TERRA-"
Suddenly, Saitou felt an overwhelming ki building up from under his feet. He looked down to find Omega X with his hands cupped together. Letting out a battle cry, Omega X prepares to fire his Terra Beam. The Dark Angel was quick to pick up on his adversary's action and delivers a kick across Omega X's face. The force was strong enough to send Omega X sailing across.
"TERRA BEAM! HA!"
Omega X manages to collect enough ki and sends a massive blast hurtling towards Saitou. As the enormous shot was getting closer, Saitou maneuvers to the side barely. The Terra Beam blast tore right through the cavern walls and sailing outside across the heavens above. Once the blast penetrated through the clouds, it reached as far out through the planet's atmosphere and passed across many light years across space itself in a matter of a few seconds. More specifically, its speed force was at about three seconds flat, reaching from Demon's Cavern all the way into orbit.
The warrior of courage crumpled across the ground and struggles to sit up.
"Damn… Almost had him…"
With those words said, Omega X lets out a deep sigh and closes his eyes. He had used a large amount of his ki energy to implement such a strong attack and it took a toll on his body.
"Whoo, damn! That blast would been strong enough to vaporize the D-Reaper!" X thought. "Unfortunately, Saitou saw it coming at the last second. It's a good thing Tai aimed directly away from the earth's surface or that blast would have destroyed the planet."
Uncovering his eyes to watch the smoke dissipate, X looks across the notice a large gaping hole through the cavern wall. His mouth dropped in astonishment over the amount of power set forth through that attack alone.
"Unbelievable! Surely enough, he would have beaten Bebimon with an attack like that too! However, his ki is running low and his Terra Beam are just as good as a toy pistol," X continued conversing in thought.
Standing over the fallen Omega X, Saitou merely gave a small chuckle and pointed to the large gaping hole.
"Jeez, you still have plenty of fire power left?" Saitou said. "That was a close one."
"Yeah? Well I'm so full of surprises, pal. I was just having a mental picture of what you would like after I shot you directly in the space. Charcoal would have been perfect for that damn mug of yours. Just one more shot… and you would have been screwed…"
As he said that, he finally passes out from exhaustion and still suffering from the injuries inflicted on him through Saitou's 'capital punishment' session. X lets out a gasp and attempts to rush over to save his apprentice.
"Tai!"
However, Saitou was quick to stop X at his treks and busts out a cliched villainous laugh.
"Saitou, I won't let you go laughing like that forever. Do you really think I'd like you go on like this one minute longer!"
The Dark Angel merely twisted around to shoot X a sinister, dark glare.
"Himo, no matter what happens to me, I will put a stop to your scheme."
"Oh, that's a joke, right? Right!"
"Give up your plans and withdraw from here, before I take the final measure."
"Ha. X, I don't mind all of your bluster, but you are thinking of trying to defeat me, when you don't even know who I am!"
"What do you mean! I know who you are."
"Nuh uh! You only know that goodie two shoes Himo! Let me tell you right now, I'm not Himo! He's taking a nap right now. You don't have the slightest clue as to who I am! My name is Kain, one of the seven personalities dwelling inside Himo Saitou! I won't be listening to your orders like a damn lapdog!"
"What do you mean seven personalities!"
"Yeah, it's an all out seven-man party inside in here! This is a plan something all seven of us decided on- including Himo, of course! Don't misunderstand! We all have nothing in common, but we all agreed on this plan together!"
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:51 P.M.
The entire group was listening in onto their conversation. Mystic Celesta, Dorothy and Loweemon were just about right on their assumption that Saitou would reveal to have seven different personalities.
"So, I was right," Loweemon said.
"Yep, same here," replied Mystic Celesta. "That is what he meant by 'seven'. The 'seven of us' that he was talking about."
"Those thoughts from Mr. Oikawa's mind were misinterpreted. Here I thought that he meant the seven Spell casters who possessed the special abilities," Dorothy stated.
"And apparently it wasn't the seven Spell casters," Pikkan said.
"Plus, it couldn't be the seven monsters of Millenniumon either," said War Angemon.
"We'll dig a grave for all people. The seven of us will dig that hole… Yes, seven graves should be a decent start."
Those were the words of Saitou that shrouded Mystic Celesta's mind. The Tamers and the legendary warriors even remembered hearing those words.
"All of this talk about seven whacked out personalities are making my head ache!" Metal Kabuterimon complained.
"Geez! This guy really didn't have that good of a social life if he has to end up talking to himself!" Kaiser Greymon said.
"Makes me feel kind of sorry for him in a way, but he's still a sadistic creep," Zephrymon thought.
"So, Saitou meant only the seven personalities inside of him!" Beelzebumon blurted out.
"Of course, now that we've already come down to the conclusion. Hikari figured it out first," Cyberleomon said.
"Yes. He came up with this plan from the start," Metalla X said. "He planned to be the sole survivor."
"That is correct. Damn you guys are understanding better than I thought," Neo said. "Saitou gave up hope on all humanity, and lost his purpose. He then became unable to stand himself, over all of the brutal killings that he has committed. The guilt was too much of a burden for Himo to handle. Thus, Kain, the alternate, violent personality, was born. Next, when the idea to try to atone for the sins of all mankind began sprouting in Himo's mind, he became disgusted with himself, over his brainwashing of others. He used lies and manipulation, similar to what the Anti-Christ will deploy according to Biblical prophecies. As a result, a new personality, Hojo, the arguer, must have been born. In time, Himo created all of the different personalities that are within him. In the end, the original pure mind of Himo Saitou has not been the least bit polluted from corruption."
"This is becoming way too much for me to handle," Keke said.
"Comparing himself to an Anti-Christ? Yeah, there's no surprise there," scoffed BW.
"He's… He's just as dark and evil as Devimon!" War Angemon growled as painful memories of the devil man plagued his memories. "Saitou is just like Devimon! He was force of darkness that wants to corrupt the light and vanquish all hopes of humanity! Saitou is just like any of the other monsters and villains we've faced in the past! Who cares if he had a bad experience in his past life? He shouldn't take his hatred out on other people! I won't stand for it!"
Taking notice of the angelic warrior's sudden convulsion, Mystic Celesta felt the pain her husband was enduring from his painful childhood experience with the force of darkness. She remembered Takeru telling her how Devimon took Patamon away from him after Angemon sacrificed himself, but she wasn't sure if Devimon could even be compared to Himo Saitou. One was driven to destroy and conquer out of greed and power. The other is driven to kill simply out of anger and vengeance.
"Takeru. Are you sure you should be comparing Devimon to Saitou? Yes, they both are driven by darkness but have different motivations. If only Takeru would have gotten over Devimon… But I still can't get over Myotismon nearly killing me and Gatomon. I can never forget Wizardmon putting his life at stake to ensure we survive. Not to mention Virus still plaguing me in my dreams. The Dark Ocean even haunts me to this very day. We can't let any of that prevent us from stopping Saitou once and for all."
"Say, Sonja? What's eating those two?" Ultima X whispered.
"Not sure…"
"Well, they better get focused. Besides, this guy isn't done explaining more about this Saitou guy."
"One of Saitou's personalities is a 'fatherly' figure who gives blessings to those in pain. He offered me blessings when I was in one of my depressive moods. 'He' also can write and sing the most beautiful works of poetry I've ever heard. He's pure of heart just like Himo. He would always tell me about his troubles and I would do the same for him. We both vent out our sorrows. 'He' only shows him to me. I like his personality the most, next to Himo's. I see him as the perfect father since my real father left me years before."
Max had heard enough from Neo and cries out angrily out of impatience. He grabbed his face and cursed through his teeth.
"Stop it! You don't know what you're talking about! You can't see that guy as your father! He's too much of a whack-job to be considered a father figure! That's it! I don't want to get your crazy disease! You're making my head all messed up!"
"That tears it!" War Angemon blurted out. "Kid! You need to wake up! Your so-called fatherly figure is plotting to open up the gates of digital hell! The worst from that dimension will rampage across our world and the digital worlds! Nobody will be able to overcome the mighty of these Synisters! Not even us!"
"Takeru…" Mystic Celesta whispered.
"Saitou is just like Devimon! He's a force of evil who won't rest until he gets what he desires! He wants to shroud this world into darkness just like Devimon nearly did back on File Island!"
Metalla X looks on to his brother rambling on about the powers of darkness. He remembered the day Angemon sacrificed his own life to save TK from Devimon's dark hand. Even in adulthood, Takeru was still haunted by the deceased fallen angel.
"TK. I understand how you feel. Even I've been influenced by the forces of darkness. It was Burizalor who recruited and molded me into a hateful son of a bitch. I vowed to kill Tai because I thought he had taken you from me. My own desire to be the best was a result of that monster turning me into what he was."
Ultima X even remembers when Ken was once the ruthless Digimon Kaiser, whom was used by Shadramon.
"I can almost relate to you, guys. Well, at least Ken would. He was too molded to become an engine of darkness. Shadramon used him to build Chimeramon to destroy the Digital World. That bastard used Ken and made him believe he was invincible. Darkness has been plaguing Ken's soul since he lost his brother. I guess its true when we say that each of us has come into contact with the darkness. My wife, Sonja, is also no different. Datamon took her and her brother. He had taken away their human will and remodeled them into bio-androids, but at least they maintained their human emotions and hearts. So, each of us are here for a reason. For these many years it all comes down to this? All because of some prophecy I was overhearing from Matt? Well, as far as being influenced by the powers of darkness, Saitou has us all beat. He's lived and breathed it years longer than we have. Still, that doesn't change my view on him. He's still a heartless bastard who needs to be put in his place. Nobody has the right to end the human race just because some traumatic experience changed his views forever. Tai, I hate to say this, but you're on your own. We can't even break free from this dimension even if we tried. It's all on your, X."
"Davis… Are you all right?" Sonja asked with concern.
"I'll be all right, but listening to this kid praising this bastard makes me want to regurgitate."
"I know what you mean."
"Comparing someone like Devimon to Himo is like comparing fruits and vegetables," Neo answered. "Devimon are known for their trickery and desire for power. Himo only desires to the death of humanity and has no interest for power. He doesn't live for greed like you humans. This is why Himo is the purest of the seven. He has never committed a sinful act."
"What makes you think so, pal?" Koriikakkumon asked.
"You don't know him better than we do!" snapped Magna Garurumon.
"You've been deceived," growled War Angemon. "Just wait until that tunnel opens and you'll realize how much he cares for you, Neo."
"If I have to die, then so be it."
Those words alone were enough to surprise nearly everyone in the group, except Metalla X, BW, Pikkan and Max.
"Feh. That doesn't surprise me," Max snorted. "You can die for all I care."
"Max. This isn't the time for this," replied Sakuyamon. "But still, to think I myself would have followed the same path as Saitou. Thank goodness for you guys."
"Hey, what's done is done, right?" Gallantmon said.
"Guys! Settle down! Looks like something is about to start down there!" Pikkan announced.
Saitou's Lair. 7:51 P.M.
Standing a few feet away from Saitou, X was preparing to stand his ground and confront his former apprentice. He aimed to change Saitou's ways and withdraw from his crusade to end humanity's time.
"Listen. If you're Kain, one of Saitou's seven personalities living within him, then put Himo on. I need to speak with him."
"Ha! Ok, fine…"
With that said, Saitou taps his head with his flesh hand as if channeling in to communicate with his inner selves.
"Hey, Himo. What do we do?" Kain Saitou asked his purest personality within.
There was a pause for a moment before Saitou spoke up once again to revive his purest face.
"Himo!"
There was reply to his request. Thus, Saitou chuckled and aimed his arm cannon directly at X without hesitation.
"He said he doesn't want to talk to you. He said he hates you too much."
"But he should be able to listen to what I have to say, right? It's not too late. Put an end to this foolish stunt!"
"Sorry, mask boy. It's already too late! Take a look."
The Dark Angel points directly towards the gaping tunnel hole contained by an interior glass barrier. The dimension was set to be cracked open within the next nine minutes or so. Numerous viral digimon of the worst kind were anxiously awaiting to be broken free from their prison. Vilemon, Cultivarmon, Devimon and many lower level monsters were looking on like spectators at the two. Their zombie-like, eerie moans were echoing within the caverns while giving it a haunting feel. The retched odor from the gas vapor of the Dark Realm was starting to make it's presence felt to poison the human world.
"The hole has already exceeded its equilibrium period. All we have to do is wait for it to be open. Face it, mask. We all have chosen our path."
"Himo. Then, so have I…"
As soon as he said that, he pulls out an object from out of his right pocket. He held it up for all to see. It was an emerald, similar to the chaos emeralds used by Sonic the Hedgehog. However, this one had a more holy presence to it. With this, he hopes to stop Saitou at his tracks and seal the tunnel completely. However, this was not all X was preparing to do next. Saitou narrowed his eyes while studying both his former teacher and the emerald.
"But that's not all, Himo. For the first time since I was given this position as watcher of this realm, I shall remove my mask for all to see. That includes you, Himo."
"I'm interested. Do tell…"
Giving out a sigh, X reached out to the back of his mask with his left hand to rip the back portion off. He had second thoughts at first before removing it. Despite his hesitation, he knew that he must to do this reveal his true identity to all. That includes even Tai's friends inside the Uraotoko territory.
"It's time… Everyone. I can tell you are all within that Uraotoko. For what I'm about to do may indeed shock all of you. Max, that includes even you!"
Finally giving out another sigh, X removes his mask and reveals his true face to all. Saitou even gasped at the true face of his master. Slowly regaining consciousness, Omega X took a small peek over to the unmasked man and uttered a shocked gasp while nearly choking out.
"NO! It couldn't be… This whole time I could barely feel out ki from him!" Omega X thought. "The digimon couldn't even pick up on his scent, except for a few. I remember Renamon telling me that she could pick up a similar scent from him and compared it to my son, Max…"
The mask of X and his secret identity were gone forever. The true face was finally revealed after many years. With everyone looking on with utter shock, the face of the man looked like that of a teenage boy. He has brown eyes with red undertones and wild light brown hair, which was similar to Tai's but with the length going towards the back of his head. He looked exactly like Max Kamiya, Tai's own son! Except this guy looked older in his late teens! Omega X couldn't believe what he saw and wanted to smack himself.
"He… He… He looks exactly like Max! Wait! I'm feeling the same energy from this guy as I would my son! Could he be… No! That's impossible… Wait! That girl who helped my friends travel to Spiral Mountain years ago was named Keke! She even helped Matt out of Digital Limbo to send him off to help me battle the D-Reaper! But, I simply thought it was just pure coincidence! It has to be! There's no way our kids could be in anyway related to those two!"
The unmasked young man kept his sights on Saitou with the emerald in one hand. He didn't even notice Omega X glaring towards him yet.
"Wait until I get to the bottom of this myself…" Omega X growled in thought. "You hid behind that damn mask for no reason…"
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:52 P.M.
Having witnessed the unmasking of the masked man, there was a mixed emotion of shock and bewilderment. Mystic Celesta and War Angemon didn't know what to make of these events. Sakuyamon nodded her head, since the Renamon side to her was able to figure out his identity. Somehow, even BW even this was going to happen.
However, amongst the entire group, it was Max himself who felt his heart pause for a moment. He kneeled down and couldn't utter a single word. His mouth became cry like cotton.
"He… He looks just like me! He feels just like me!" Max managed to blurt out. "How is this even possible! After all this time, he's been hiding behind that mask and wouldn't reveal himself to my father!"
"Max… I can't believe this," Keke said. "Wait! Hey, dad! You said a girl named Keke helped you to leave Digital Limbo to fight the D-Reaper, right?"
"That's right," answered Metalla X.
"Then you knew about X, didn't you!"
"I can't lie to you, but no I had no idea X really revealed himself to be Max. Or a guy that looks like him."
"I see… This is just not possible."
"Sakuyamon? Did you know X was really him?" Gallantmon asked.
"The Renamon side to him would think so. His scent was similar to Max's. I just couldn't put my finger on how remotely similar their energy signals were. That is until I understood X better."
"Well, this is pretty unexpected," Mega Gargomon said. "Talk about your tear-jerking surprises! How come I didn't know this a long time ago!"
Mystic Celesta lowered her head and pressed her hand against the dimensional barrier. Her eyes made contact with the unmasked X.
"Yes, I can tell out his ki. It's very similar to Max's indeed. I just didn't know. TK…"
"I'm just as surprised as you are."
"All this time he's been keeping his identity a secret from my brother. Tai deserved to know that his teacher was actually his own son. Why didn't you tell him, X? What were you so afraid of?"
"My goodness. This is quite unexpected," Rei gasped. "How can there be two Maxs in one world!"
"Well apparently, you haven't lived long enough in our world for you to comprehend," Cyberleomon replied.
"Well, I'll be damned. That kid and X are one of the same?" Pikkan wondered. "Makes me wonder how strong X really is. Since he trained both Saitou and Tai…"
"Ok, this is getting way too weird for me," Kaiser Greymon said.
"We didn't see this coming!" Zephrymon replied.
"That would make them twins," Magna Garurumon stated.
"Only they are still the same person. At least I think so," Loweemon said. "Well, at least Tai can live happy knowing that his son would ironically be his own sensei."
"I don't think he's happy to know about this last minute surprise," Ultima X replied. "He hid under that mask without Tai knowing. Why didn't he just tell Tai straight up!"
"Most importantly, Max has a right to know," Sonja said while pointing over to the little boy.
Dorothy walked over towards Max and pats his right shoulder. She got no response from the boy and this worried her.
"Max… It's going to be all right. Um, look. Even I'm shocked as you are, but we can certainly trust this guy since he will help us defeat Saitou and close that tunnel."
"No… That guy is not me! He hid under a mask to hide himself from my father! A true friend would reveal his secrets! He wouldn't hide like some damn coward!" Max screamed out. "I don't care if he helps beat Saitou and close that dumb tunnel! He manipulated my own father and molded him to become a warrior against his own will! I never wanted to see dad get hurt by this Saitou creep! For this last year or so, I've seen the worst scum of the Digital Universe. Each all had one desire in common: that was to kill my father and only him alone! Why my dad! Why is everyone gunning for him! Why can't these bad guys just leave my family alone! Everything was just fine until my dad was recruited by this guy! I would hear stories of how my mother was killed by a hateful monster like Burizalor! Not to mention hearing how Keke's dad died twice before! Or what about when my Aunt Kari lost Uncle TK once to Virus years ago! We've all endured hell ever since that guy trained my dad and Agumon! Each one of us had to suffer and defeat countless villains. Time after time again. They keep coming back for us! My life was going great just between me, my mom and dad until we had to go find those Black Digicores! If only my dad didn't get turned into a kid and this wouldn't never happen! Bebimon would have never come to enslave earth! That Jax guy wouldn't have killed Ken and those dead enemies wouldn't have escaped Digital Limbo! Now we have to defeat a psycho, who changed his views on humanity all because X sent him on some dumb mission! If anything why should we help him! We can take Saitou ourselves! I'll never forgive him!"
Having heard enough from out of her nephew, Mystic Celesta walks over to Max and delivers a painful slap across his right cheek. The boy reeled back from the blow and covered his right cheek. He could feel the pain from his aunt.
"Aunt Kari… Why?"
"I'm just as upset as you, Max," she answered with tears swelling up in her eyes. "He didn't tell my brother straight up. Heck, even I don't think I can trust a guy who hides behind a mask this whole time. But, listen! We're all here together to stop Saitou. We share that common goal. Don't you wish to stop that guy from opening the gates of hell!"
"Of course…"
"That's exactly what I wanted to hear. We can't let the darkness plague everything we cherish and love!"
"She's right, Max," Keke replied. "We're all in this together. Whether we like it or not. Take a look at my dad. Deep down, he still yearns to defeat your dad, but he even knows when it's time to unite to overcome a powerful enemy. This whole ordeal with Saitou is a perfect example."
"Max. It's time you wake up and realize the dilemma we're in. We only have eight minutes or so. It's time to overcome this grief and look ahead at what we might be prepared for," War Angemon said. "We have to conquer this great darkness."
"We'll start by trusting in X right now and see if he can stop Saitou himself with that emerald," Dorothy said. "Speaking of that emerald, I'm picking up a strong vibe from it."
"That's actually four emeralds merged into one. I've heard tales about it," Pikkan explained.
"What's it like?" asked Rei.
"Yeah, do tell, pointy ears," Beelzebumon said.
"It's called the Nexus Emerald. There were once seven of them. Each possessed incredible powers of the digital universe. I've heard my father and the Alterians speak of many legends to this. One day, an incredible evil power came to snare the seven emeralds, but then came the supreme sovereign, who came to retrieve the emeralds. He merged four of them to form the Nexus Emerald."
"What about the other three?" Metal Kabuterimon asked.
"No one knows. Rumor has it that they are still in possession of the supreme sovereign himself. This Nexus emerald possesses the highest classed of all the defensive spells existing throughout the digital nexus. My guess is that the supreme sovereign handed it down to X. In time, X channeled what remaining battle ki he once had and discharged it into the emerald, in order to prepare it as an ultimate defensive weapon."
"Wow, so it's a weapon of astounding power?" Kaiser Greymon asked. "That's just what we needed."
"Quiet everyone. They're conversing again," Metalla X announced to the group.
Neo kept his eye on Saitou and wasn't the least bit worried about this Nexus Emerald the Alterian spoke of.
"Nothing will hold you back, Saitou-san. Not even some stupid emerald."
Saitou's Lair. 7:52 P.M.
Once holding out and channeling through the emerald's untapped powers, X himself became engulfed by rings of green energy. Saitou was slightly annoyed by his former master's attempt to stop him but lowered his arm cannon.
"With this emerald, I can create an anti-Synister barrier that's greater than the one already constructed to keep those monsters out. Yes, the emerald's powers can even trap the S, Super A and Super S Classes within this spell."
X held the emerald across like a piece of meat and noticed Saitou becoming transfixed onto the rings of light around it.
"With this weapon, I can block this hole from the Dark Realm with a brand new boundary. Even you will be unable to escape and become trapped inside. That's right. Be afraid. You'll never move again."
"…"
"I have been condensing a large percentage of my own battle ki into this emerald ever since I was appointed to become instructor of up and coming digital warriors such as yourself and Taichi. I did it to help prevent the dark ages to befall human civilization. This was originally intended to prevent Armageddon from occurring within the next few centuries, but I am forced to use it now. You leave me no choice."
"If that's the case, then you're as stupid as Himo says. I don't care if you really look like Tai's kid, you still won't stop me. I could care less who you really are. You can't use that weapon on us. Who's going to stop that supposed dark age now?"
"If this boundary tunnel opens now, the human race will cease to exist within the next decade or less. There will be nothing left in the next hundred years anyways, but now, your plan will fall apart right now. You're finished, Saitou. Unless you plan to kill me yourself."
"Well, you really aren't screwing around, aren't ya, boss?"
"Negotiate with your other selves and make a decision. Are you ready to be damned? Surrender or torment are your only choices."
"Fine. We shall negotiate this."
Standing firm, X remained in place with his emerald and watched as Saitou closed his eyes to converse with his other six personalities. Unbeknownst to them, Omega X was watching the whole confrontation. His blood boiled knowing the true identity of X. However, he wasn't prepared to let anyone, even X, interfere with his fated battle with the Dark Angel. The situation was only going to get uglier and take a turn of the worst in due time.
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:52 P.M.
Just as everyone inside the caverns had just witnessed, Shintomon, Sora, and the others were stunned to find out the true identity behind the masked man. Sora broke out of her traumatic trance and grabs the viewing orb to get a better look at the unmasked X. Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.
"That blast was just enormous from what Taichi fired moments ago. If my estimations are correct, a Terra Beam of that magnitude would have vaporized the D-Reaper, defeat Bebimon and even give the strongest of the seven monsters a headache," Gosenzomon thought. "Now this is quite an unexpected twist. Though, I had a feeling X and the boy were somehow connected with each other."
"Sora…" Mimi whispered. "I don't know what to say, but X! He actually looks like Max!"
"But, how is that possible!" Kenta exclaimed.
"Dude, anything's possible, but this is too hard for me to even believe!" Kazu replied. "Oh man…"
"I didn't think it was possible, but X has done quite a good job concealing not just his ki. He's managed to his ki from even myself, the Supreme Guardian!"
"Somehow, I had a feeling. Call it a hunch but there was the scent from that guy I picked up from Max," Lady Moinanea spoke up. "Digimon, are you able to pick up on it as well?"
"No and we can easily read through anything with a ki," Lopmon said.
"Clearly he is alive," Guardromon replied. "Unless he was a sort of super zombie!"
"Pi! Pi!" Marine Angemon agreed with the machine.
"I really doubt that," Jeri replied. "What do you think, Calumon?"
"Well, I really didn't know what to think until you actually unmasked. This is really making my head all spinny," Calumon complained.
"Whatever the case, it really doesn't matter to me who he really is," Cody replied. "He's there risking his life to stop that maniac. If Tai couldn't do it, then X is sure to get the job done."
"Now that's what I'm talking about, Cody!" Armadillomon said.
"If he knows what he's doing," said Joe. "Can X even attempt to stop this maniac?"
"With this emerald, he's sure to put a stop to Saitou," Shintomon assured everyone. "This is the Nexus emerald. It wise by Huanlongmon to allow X to harness such a rare item. But it's a risky gamble."
"What would happen if it fails?" Rosemon asked.
"I don't even want to think about the consequences. This is perhaps the only hope to putting a stop to this madness."
"I know for one thing. X's interference just may change the fate of the prophecy. He's not even supposed to get involved in Taichi and Saitou's war. Is this simply one event that managed to come across without being predicted? Who knows? Maybe X will be the one who ends the Dark Angel, but I'm not so sure. Taichi needs to get back up and continue this battle. It is far from over. X… Max… Whoever you are… Do what you think is best in order to ensure Taichi his victory."
"Ma… Max? How can there be two Maxs?" Sora muttered. "So, X is actually X? But that's impossible… I can't believe it."
Nearly fainting, Mimi managed to catch her friend's fall and kept her eyes on the orb.
"If that's Max, then that girl who helped us with the ship to Spiral Mountain is actually Keke? Did they come here through some time warp?" Mimi wondered. "All of this is making my head hurt. Two Kekes and two Maxs?"
"That's because it is them, but how these older versions arrived here… I have no idea," Phoenixmon said.
"That now isn't important. We must focus back on the situation at hand," Hercules Kabuterimon replied. "We can trust X in his plan to use this Nexus emerald. Perhaps it's the last resort to defeat Saitou."
"Let's hope so, Hercules Kabuterimon," Izzy replied. "For our sake… For humanity's survival."
Local Odaiba Hospital. 7:52 P.M.
With the situation growing dire outside of the hospital, Yolei had moved out of the hospital room where she left Ken's parents, the children and Ken's body behind. She managed to find a pay phone and dialed up a number for her siblings. Fortunately for her, they were still in town after realizing that they answered her call. Since Aquillamon was out battling the rogue digimon outside in the city, Yolei decided now was the perfect time to get her family out of the empty hospital.
"There's no use staying here anymore if no one but my family are in this hospital," Yolei said. "I have to convince my sisters and my brother. It's a good thing they were still in town. It's only getting worse out there."
"Yolei. This was a good idea," Wormmon said. "We can move away from here for Ken's sake. His body must be intact if we hope to restore him."
"I know. Oh, Wormmon. I just hope those guys defeated those seven monsters and captured the four digicores."
"We can't lose faith in them, Yolei. I'm sure they have all of the digicores. It won't be long before Ken comes back to us."
"I want to agree with you, but I don't know. Those digimon outside are getting hectic. I doubt even Aquillamon can take all of them at once."
"Let's get going to take Ken, his parents and the children out of here."
"Mmhmm. I just called my two sisters and brother. They would be on their way over in a few minutes. They're not too far from here."
"Any idea where we could hide before until all of these digimon are cleared out of here?"
"They can drive us back to our parents old convenient store and home. Hopefully there's somebody at that location. It'll be like reliving old memories."
"Good idea. Let's get going!"
With that said, Yolei raced across the hospital hallways with Wormmon crawling across to catch up. Taking a breather after becoming fatigued, Yolei opened the door to Ken's resting room. She walks inside and waves out to the Ichijouji couple.
"Mr. and Mrs. Ichijouji!" Yolei managed to choke out. "We're leaving now. My sisters and brother are going to pick us up from here. I say it would be a good idea to wake the kids up. Mr. Ichijouji, you think you could give me a hand carrying Ken's body?"
"Sure, Yolei. I know a young lady like you couldn't hope to carry out my big boy."
"Ha, isn't that the truth?" Yolei laughed. "Ok, here we go."
Mrs. Ichijouji awoke David, Sam, Naomi and the baby, named Shinobu. She scooped Shinobu up in her arms and gathered the children together.
"What's wrong, grandma?" asked Naomi. "What's going on?"
"Listen up, kids. You go with grandma down to the ground level. Your grandpa and I will meet you down there. Wormmon, you go with them. Just in case there's an attack."
"Right! You can count on me, Yolei!"
"C'mon, children. Let's get going," Mrs. Ichijouji said as she gathered them out the door.
"Don't worry, mom. David and I will be there to help Wormmon in case something happens," Sam replied.
"Ok, that's good. Now get going!"
With the children gone, Mr. Ichijouji and Yolei picked Ken's body. They made sure to cover him up in a blanket before heading out through the backdoor.
"Whew, that was easy," Yolei said. "Ok. Looks like the coast is clear."
"Which way is the elevator?" Mr. Ichijouji wondered. "This hospital is too big and it's hard for me to remember the elevator we used."
"There should be another down towards our right. If I recall, it's close to where the lounge is located. Ugh, I just hate hospitals," Yolei sighed. "Hawkmon. I suppose you're handling the situation well without my help."
They walked down towards the hall and made a right turn to find the elevator. Yolei stepped forward to press the 'up' button. Almost immediately, an elevator door opened up. Before they moved in to take it, a pair of Cultivarmon popped out and screams out loud screeches. Yolei screamed out as she fell back. Mr. Ichijouji also fell back but managed to held tightly onto his son's wrapped corpse.
"Ki! Ki!"
"No! This is the last thing we need!"
One of the Cultivarmon's head opened up like a sliced orange and unleashed an acidic sludge across the floor. Yolei jumped back as the acidic substance nearly burned her alive.
"Oh my god… What if these things got Mrs. Ichijouji and the kids! No! David and Sam would surely take these sick things!"
"What exactly are these things! The digimon you kids have been dealing with for these years!"
"That's right, Mr. Ichijouji. Do me a favor. Since you have Ken, you go and head out to find another elevator shaft. These things seem to be after me."
"But, what can you do…?"
"Nothing but hold them back with whatever I've got. Now, go! Ken's body must be preserved! If my siblings are out there, go with them and leave this place."
"Ok, but please… Be careful…"
Giving a thumbs up, Yolei stood her ground like a protective mother. The Cultivarmon chattered excitedly and turned to see Mr. Ichijouji hurrying across with Ken's body. Yolei stepped out with her arms spread out to block the viral demons' path.
"Just what do you two freaks think you're hoping to accomplish? As long as I'm here, you won't be taking Ken. I've heard about you guys from Tai and the others. You were used by the Digital Invaders to try to kill them. Well, you're not getting by me! I'm not afraid of putting my life on the line for Ken's sake! Give me your best shot!"
Responding to her challenge, one Cultivarmon rushed past her with super speed to catch up with Mr. Ichijouji. The other leaped out at Yolei. The woman screamed out in horror as the tiny imp prepared to slash her with deadly claws.
"AQUILLAMON!"
"Ki! Ki! Ki!"
Suddenly, the walls of the surrounding area were split open. A pair of horns penetrated through and stabbed right through the Cultivarmon. Yolei uncovered her eyes to find Aquillamon arriving at the knick of time. Aquillamon snorted while tossing the dead Cultivarmon away before it exploded into data.
"You… killed it…"
"Of course, it was going to take your life, Yolei. Now let's go down. Your family is waiting down at the ground floor."
"We can't! There's another one of those things after Mr. Ichijouji and Ken's body!"
"What!"
"We have to go and save them!"
"Yolei! Wait!"
On the other side, Mr. Ichijouji stopped cold as he found himself at a dead end. A loud screech echoed across and caught the man's attention. He turned to find a Cultivarmon leaping out to attack him. Before he was prepared to meet his fate, a pair of ki blasts shot across to incinerate the beast. As it's charred corpse dropped to the ground, Mr. Ichijouji turned around to find the source of the blasts. To his relief, David and Sam held hands out with smoke forming in their palms.
"Boys! Are everyone else fine?"
"Yeah. They're down waiting for us. Don't worry. Everything is clear down there," Sam assured them.
"Thank goodness. You're just like your brother and deceased uncle. Always using your heads."
"Well, shall we get going?" David asked.
"Yeah!"
With that said, Sam and David lead Mr. Ichijouji out of the hall. Turning around towards another corner past the dead end was a door leading to stairs that would lead them down to the ground level.
"They should be down there. Where's my mom by the way?" Sam asked.
"She went ahead to fend off some monster," Mr. Ichijouji replied. "I don't know how she can stand up to those things."
"Well, that's my mom for ya. Anyway, I doubt she would be fighting them alone. I just felt Aquillamon crashing through this place to save her. He should be taking mom to the ground level."
"That's good to know. Here I was worrying over nothing."
"Piece of cake, grandpa."
"Look! There's the exit door!" David pointed out. "Hammer time!"
David creates a fist on his right land and smashes the door down with super strength. Like Sam, Max and Keke, he has inherited the digital portions of their parents' DNA to enable them to inherit super strength, speed and digi-ki capabilities.
The boys and Mr. Ichijouji finally made it out to the front entrance of the hospital. They looked up ahead to find Wormmon, Mrs. Ichijouji, Naomi and Shinobu waiting for them. Mr. Ichijouji sets Ken's body down and kneels down to catch his breathe.
"You should have let us carry him grandpa," Sam suggested.
A loud flap of wings was heard and everyone looked up to find Aquillamon flying down. Yolei revealed herself from the majestic bird's back and waves out to her family.
"Thank goodness! By the way, I just realized Tike and Kara were still inside!" Yolei calls out. "I managed to find these little tykes raiding the cafeteria. Don't you two ever walk out like that again, you hear?"
"Well, it's not our fault we're hungry as hell," Tike scoffed.
"Yeah! At least we had our buffet," Kara said. "I could use a little nap now."
"Same here," yawned Tike.
"Well, at least we won't worry about having to feed you two," Yolei giggled in thought.
"Next stop landing," Aquillamon announced. "Ah, good. I think I see your siblings' car heading this way."
"That's a relief," Yolei replied. "All right. Aquillamon, you can de-digivolve. We'll let them know to send us to our old convenient store and home. Hopefully things will settle here with all of these rogue digimon."
"Only time will tell, but the situation seems grim."
Pressing her hands against her chest, Yolei began a prayer to herself and had many thoughts clouding her mind. Mixed emotions were plaguing the Inoue-Ichijouji woman.
"Oh guys. I just hope everyone of you are faring better than we are. I don't know how much of this I can stand. It has been too much ever since Sonja's brother killed Ken… No, I have to stay strong! Ken would want me to remain positive despite the grim circumstances. Well, I just wish for everything to be just fine… Make everything go back to the way they were before this whole mess with the hole started. Let there be a miracle out there to save us all."
Saitou's Lair. 7:53 P.M.
The Nexus emerald remained intact around X's grasp while energy rings gathered around his hands. As X channeled more ki through the emerald, Saitou stood firm and conversed with his other personalities to make their final decision. Would they withdraw from their crusade or continue through with the destruction of humanity?
Saitou's train of thoughts was still within the seven minds inside his brain. Meanwhile, X kept his eye on Saitou with careful view. One false move and he could cause Saitou to attack him out of aggression. X started thinking back to when he first recruited the Dark Angel to become a great digital knight with a bright future ahead of him.
"If at all possible, I don't want to force myself to use the Nexus emerald on you. Return to the way you used to be."
Switch to Flashback
Nearly twenty-five years ago to this day, the young and gifted ten year old Himo Saitou raced across a garden was a familiar masked man in the background. X stepped out from the shadows and created a ki ball in one hand. Young Saitou walked over to X and stared at the ki ball in astonishment. A look of innocence plastered across the boy's face while he touched the energy sphere.
"You were born with a strong spiritual power, Saitou. You must have come to hate all dark viral types as your sworn enemy."
Later in life, Saitou as a fifteen year old walked across a bridge with no friends to accompany him. All people considered him an outcast and wanted nothing to do with him. There was only one guy who he ever considered a friend and that was another teenager his age named Tetsuo. Testuo came to realization about Saitou's true work as a future digital knight.
Testuo and Saitou shared a heartfelt laugh before setting off into the sunset horizon.
"Then, you became an enemy to all of humanity, for as long as you can remember. You wanted to make things right and justice. This is all my fault…"
Just as Saitou and Tetsuo arrived at the military base in hopes of stopping the viral digimon from carrying out their plan to release rogue monsters from out of the digital world.
"This is all my fault. I should have never sent you to that military base to stop another one of Burizalor's sickening plots. I should have seen this coming. I was much too eager to close that case. I am such a fool… What have I done to change your views on humanity?"
Breaking down a door inside the military base, Saitou himself gazed upon several of the most graphic, vile scenes any human would ever imagine. His eyes dilated and shades of crimson reflected from his eyes. He watched helplessly as innocent digimon, who were not considered dark viral types, were being tortured and dismembered by sinister human fanatics who were paid to inflict punishment on the digimon.
"You desperately fought to protect the human race, but that one night changed you forever. You took up a crusade to end human civilization. You picked the most horrible, gruesome way to accomplish that goal. You hope to open the gates of hell itself… So what good will come of you hating all of mankind now?"
Having heard enough from the cruel human laughter circulating through his mind, Saitou took it upon himself to murder every human in that moment. He slashed, blasted and dismembered every trace of human at that instance. When Tetsuo arrived, he found Saitou covered in a drench of crimson blood.
"It is a war waged against evil. Yet, the evil is within. How else can I justify for what I have done to continue? The question is this… Should humankind continue to live, or should it become extinct? Do we deserve to expand our ground and plague this world further than it already has? Do we even have the right to use digimon against their free will and treat them as weapons of mass destruction? Shouldn't all digimon live and all humans die?"
"Changing you, with your strong sense of justice, to become this, it's all my responsibility…"
End of Flashback
"…for recruiting you to my side to become a future digital knight. If you decide to continue this fight, I will join you as part of the boundary zone. I will experience the hell of not being able to move a single muscle. I shall go and die along with you. It's the least I can do to make up for what I've done to you."
Saitou finally opened his eyes and set his sights on X once again. He had already given it enough thought and prepared to end this conversation.
"Please, Himo. Go back to who you were before."
"We've come down to the conclusion," Saitou answered. "All seven of us unanimously agreed to this."
Before pausing for a few moments, he aimed for arm cannon directly for the unmasked X. The teen was taken back by Saitou's sudden reckless action. Did he not realize that X would use the Nexus emerald to seal his fate forever.
"Sorry, you Max wannabe! The game will go on, after I kill you! Now say your prayers and say goodbye!"
X let out a deep sigh and wasn't surprised by Saitou's reckless action. Somehow, he knew it would eventually come down to Saitou retaliating against his orders.
"As I should have feared… Even I can't reach out to him anymore."
The villain charged up his arm cannon and prepared to incinerate his former teacher with one gigantic blast. X was prepared to meet fate head on but not long before summoning the full power of the Nexus emerald. He prepares to throw it across and calls out to Saitou one last time.
"THIS ENDS FOR YOU, SAITOU! NEXUS EMERA-"
Just then, he was immediately cut off as an energy shot blasted him across his right arm. This caught X off guard and caused him to be pushed back from the impact. Even the whole group were shocked by the turn events inside the Uraotoko dimension.
"What the hell…!" X cursed. "Ta-Tai! Why the hell did you just do that!"
Omega X walked across from the unmasked Digital Watcher. His eyes possessed the look of a devil as he gazed upon X's exposed face for the first time. The Nexus emerald came dropping down from flying within the cave ceiling. Without even looking up, Omega X reached above with his right hand and snared the emerald with one hand.
"Tai! What's the meaning of this…!"
"You, that's what," Omega X growled with venom in his voice.
"But, Tai…"
"Step aside. This is my fight… to finish."
Even Saitou was taken back by this turn of events. Immediately dropping his arm cannon, he looked across to Omega X and questioned the warrior's motives.
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:53 P.M.
"Father! Why did you do that for!" Max blurted out. "He almost had him where we wanted him!"
"I thought you didn't want anything to do with X, Max," Keke replied.
"Yeah, but he was so close to trapping that guy! We were so close!"
"Well, it looks like my brother has recovered," Mystic Celesta said. "That's a relief."
"You really thought that was going to put down, Taichi?" War Angemon asked. "No way. He can take more than a shot through the stomach."
"Wow, Taichi's amazing," Rei mused. "I knew he was great from where I came from, but he was never this resilient."
"Well, you haven't known him as long as we have," Gallantmon said.
"I've only known him for the last year and a half, but he still amazes me," Kaiser Greymon spoke.
"I've known him longer than you two have. He's still as unpredictable as ever," said Ultima X.
"But what he did was incredibly reckless," Pikkan scoffed. "X had Saitou where he wanted him. Then all we had to worry about was closing the tunnel."
"That's a typical goggle head for ya," sighed Sakuyamon.
"Tai. There has to be a reason behind this reckless scheme," Metalla X thought.
"Well, this sucks!" Keke cursed. "Damn, what's gotten into your dad, Max?"
"Obviously upset that X never revealed his true face to him. To be honest, I don't really blame him."
"In any case, this Taichi and the one from my world have one thing in common. They're both fools," Neo thought as he examined the scene through his Uraotoko's eye view.
Saitou's Lair. 7:53 P.M.
"You dumb ass! Why did you interfere!" X shouted at his apprentice.
"I'm sorry, but I don't appreciate this. I don't appreciate the fact that you've never revealed yourself to me from the start! Friends are supposed to tell each other their secrets and earn each other's trusts! Ever since you first took me and Agumon in, you've never shown your face to anyone. Why!"
"I was instructed to until the time was right. This was the perfect opportunity. I couldn't do it at any other given moment."
"So, you left all of us in suspense, X! Oh, I'm sorry. You're not X. I don't even know who you are, but you look exactly like my boy, Max!"
"That's because…"
"Spit it out already! Who are you!"
"I… I am Max Kamiya…"
"Is that so!"
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:53 P.M.
There was s gasp of shock amongst the group, with the exception of a few. Max and Keke were those not shocked. The boy pounded his fists against the barrier wall.
"No! He can't be me! There can't be two mes in one universe! It's not possible! He's just posing as me!"
"Max! Calm down!" Keke said while restraining the boy.
"Why should I!"
"Because, you're going to have to get over it," Dorothy replied. "He's out there risking his own life for the sake of ours and your fathers. Please try to understand what he sets to do. By ensuring Saitou's defeat, we will not have to worry about those monsters rampaging our world!"
"Don't forget the four digi-galaxies," Magna Garurumon replied.
"Max. Take a look out there," War Angemon said. "I think even your father is growing to accept this. He knows that he just might need X to stop Saitou. There's no other way."
"Besides," Mystic Celesta said as she kneeled by her nephew. "If this is any indication of a teenage Max, you'll grow up to be very handsome."
"You think…" Max asked with a blush.
"Aw, you're still a cutie to me," Keke giggled.
"Ok, everyone. I don't think Max being handsome really matters now. Something is bound to happen with those two and I wouldn't want to be X right now," Metalla X informed everyone. "Tai, don't do anything you'll regret."
Saitou's Lair. 7:53 P.M.
"So you maybe a future glimpse of my son, Max, but it doesn't matter anymore. What's more important at the moment if you interfering with my fight," Omega X snorted.
"From where I came from, my power was extraordinary and I fought to protect my loved ones. In a final battle with an apocalyptic beast, I gave my own life up and my soul was transferred into a new body. My friends joined me as well. We were all sent here to this universe to train you to battle the upcoming threats. You've met them all head on with bright results. Now, it comes down to you battling my other greatest apprentice."
"An interesting story, Max, but we don't have the time for that. We only have little time. So do me one last favor…"
"What's that?"
"This is my DAMN fight! Now stay out of my way," Omega X retorted.
"But, Tai…"
"Who do you think is the one out there spilling his blood, anyway! Now, I'll be taking this Nexus emerald. Stand back and let me kick his ass on my own terms."
Turning away from the unmasked X, Omega X limps across to face Saitou with a determined glare.
"Well, pal. Thanks to you, I was able to rest just a bit. I'm ready to go for another round."
"Right. I forgot that you have the Crest of Courage's power embedded inside your heart. It's only natural you gain your second wind," Saitou stated. "Even Yamato, your dear sister Hikari, Takeru, Daisuke and Takato have inherited that ability by merging with their digimon partners."
"You're forgetting a few other of my friends, but yeah you get the point."
"You may not be experienced compared to me, but you still have considerable recuperative powers and mental strength," the Dark Angel rambled on. "Even in your normal human form, you managed to inherit super human to meta-human abilities from your fused warrior form. You ought to give yourself a pat on the back."
"Don't settle me with that crap. Let's just get back to the fight we left off."
"Tai! Don't be ridiculous," X verbally spat out at his apprentice. "You can't stand up to him! Now give me back that Nexus emerald!"
As X reached out to grab the emerald, Omega X snatched his hands and slowly pushed him back. An overwhelming anger built up inside the warrior as the Crest of Courage shone brightly across his chest.
"Your heart!"
"That's right. You forgot I can still do that? Now leave me alone and let me finish this fight on my own."
"Do you realize what you're doing! You're making a damn mistake, Tai! He won't hesitate to kill you!"
"ARGH! Just stay out of my way!"
With that said, Omega X shoots out a powerful aura of golden light. The aura created a strong invisible force to send X flying across the caverns. Screaming at the top of his lungs, Omega X's body fizzled with electricity. He held a tight grip on the Nexus emerald.
"Sorry, X, but I have to do this my way. Forgive me. Just rest easy. When you wake up, hopefully this will all cease to end."
Turning his glare directly to Saitou, Omega X walked towards the cavern's center and stopped.
"It's down to the way it should be. Just you and me, ass hole. Saitou, one of those guys inside you said that you didn't care about the tunnel, right? Did I hear correctly? You know what? That's exactly how I feel now."
"…"
"As long as we settle this once and for all, nothing else matters," the prideful warrior growled. "I don't even care what happens afterwards! All I care is that you're beaten!"
"My, my…"
"Hey! So you're name is Kain, right! The psycho with the arm cannon! Go get me someone else!"
"What?"
"Get rid of that personality! He's a crappy fighter! Bring out your head man!"
"Huh? Well, you really are a brainless bitch, aren't ya? I'm out here now to do the sick work. Go ahead and come at me!"
"I'm saying that you're not up to the job, dumb ass! I can't waste time on weaklings like you. You're too EASY."
Kain Saitou immediately became irate and pointed his arm cannon directly aimed for Omega X's head.
"Shut up! I'll blow your damn skull off!"
Suddenly, Saitou lost track of Omega X almost immediately. The warrior had vanished within a millisecond. Saitou found himself at a precarious position and was left wide open. Omega X used his Time Warp to teleport underneath Saitou. His fists were coated with enormous ki energy.
Within seconds, Omega X let out a battle cry and slammed his ki-coated fists directly into Saitou's gut. Each fist hit their mark and crushed the Dark Angel's ribs. Bones were starting to crunch from each of Omega X's deadly punches. He gags his mouth open and releases a cheekful of blood. Saitou staggered across with Omega X following him out across.
The warrior of courage immediately used his Time Warp and reappears above the Dark Angel. As Saitou charged up for his arm cannon, Omega X brought his hands across his own face and unleashes a radiant beam, similar to sunlight itself.
"PICTURE FLASH!"
Saitou screamed out as his eyes was blinded by the radiation from Omega X's technique. He staggered across and lashed out in the air. Omega X delivers a kick directly to Saitou's side head, which caused his head to rock back. Omega X flies across and snatches Saitou with his arms. Using his Time Warp, he teleported himself and Saitou across the other side. Both men were plowing through numerous stalactites across the cavern's ceilings. Omega X snatched Saitou by his arm and began to swing him around with great velocity.
"PUT HIM ME DOWN!"
"SURE! HOW'S THIS!"
With that said, Omega X tosses Saitou down towards the bottom of the cavern floor. The Dark Angel lands and creates a crater as a result of the tremendous impact fall. The warrior levitated over his fallen adversary. His arms were crossed over his chest while examining the fallen Dark Angel. Much to his chagrin, Saitou slowly rose from the crater and limped across.
"Still have some fight left in you, huh?"
"Gr… Damn… You son of a bitch…"
Saitou fell to his knees and gripped his throbbing chest. Those blows delivered by Omega X had taken effect on the Dark Angel's hard body. Once Omega X levitated down to face his enemy, his hands started to throb. He winced with a threshold overwhelming his hands.
"Damn my hands still hurt from punching you so many times!"
"Ugh… No… I can't… How could I be beaten like that…?"
"Give it up, Kain. Even as you are now, you can't defeat me. Switch out with your head guy! If you don't, I'm blowing your head away with a Terra Beam. I take it you don't want to end your legacy as a headless corpse," Omega X spoke with venom in his voice.
Struggling to even rise to his feet, Saitou seethed with pain and anger building within him.
"Got to make this fast because I'm running so low on ki…"
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:53 P.M.
"Yeah! Finish him off, dad! Just blow his head off!" Max screamed out in encouragement. "We'll be done with this guy and out of this cave!"
"But does he have enough energy to get the job done?" Cyberleomon wondered. "Perhaps Taichi is bluffing."
"His ki is decreasing as we speak," Pikkan replied. "He's going to have to stop playing around and shoot his damn head off."
"Don't waste anymore time on him," Metalla X scoffed.
"C'mon, big brother! Let him have it!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed.
"If only we were out of this trash heap, then we'd go down there to join in on the fun," Gallantmon sighed.
"C'mon, Tai. Don't give up now!" Kaiser Greymon said.
Saitou's Lair. 7:53 P.M.
Having seen enough of Saitou's suffering, Omega X sighed and cupped his hands together. A ball of red ki formed around his palms and grew larger at an extraordinary rate. He looked ahead and set his target directly for the Dark Angel's head. The eyes on the Super level four warrior thinned into a reptilian kind. He now craved nothing more than an end to the madness.
"This is the end of the road, Saitou. I'm ending your sad life and rewriting a new chapter to humankind's survival. Now, show me your head guy or die."
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU! NOT NOW! I WAS HAVING SO MUCH FUN!"
"Hmph, fine. Have it your way. Your blood is on my hands. TERRA-"
"ARGH! NO! I CAN TAKE HIM! I CAN-"
As Saitou thrashed across the ground like a violent child, his head convulsed once again. This was similar from last time. Saitou did this when he switched out from Hojo to Kain. Now, he was switching out with another one of his seven personalities. But, which one? That answer would be revealed.
Like a marionette being pulled up by strings, Saitou lifted his body up from his knees. The Dark Angel slowly rose to his feet and stood upright. A shadowy presence plastered across the man's body. Omega X halted his attack position and cancelled out his Terra Beam attempt. A look of concern crossed his face.
"What the hell is going on now? I can't even read through into his thoughts. He's switched out with another personality. But, which one?"
Saitou's face slowly made contact with Omega X. The irritated warrior scoffed and out up his guard in defense. The Dark Angel's face was covered by a dark shadow, which concealed his once menacing glare. There was a quiet yet eerie presence from this man.
"So, which freak am I talking to now?"
Saitou lifted his face up and revealed his face with the light shining down upon him. His emotions have changed as well. No longer did his eyes possess the look of a murderous madman, but a calm, yet gentle persona. An innocent smile curved across his face.
"I am Himo. It's an honor to met you."
Omega X's eyes made contact with Saitou's. He felt an uneasy presence emitting from the Dark Angel and questioned his actual motives.
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:53 P.M.
Even the entire group was taken back by this sudden event. They felt the change that Saitou had underwent just right now. Perhaps for the first time since being reported to them, the Digi-Destined, Tamers and legendary warriors were gazing down upon the true Saitou: Himo the pure. Only Neo was not surprised since he's actually met Himo in person.
"Huh? Did he just say what I heard say?" Max asked. "Creepy. 'It's an honor to meet you'? Are you even sure that's the real persona!"
"Well, any objections?" Metal Kabuterimon asked.
"None, but this is certainly unexpected," Koriikkakumon stated.
"First Hojo then Kain and now Himo?" Mega Gargomon wondered. "The guy can't even make his own mind up! I thought Suzie had problems!"
"My god… So this is the true Himo Saitou-san?" Rei wondered. "Only my brother has seen the real him up close and personal."
"So, we finally get to see what Himo is all about from the reputation I've been hearing about," Ultima X said.
"There's something eerie about him, but Tai shouldn't take his eye off of him," Sonja said.
"You're right. Tai's got to get serious if Himo is supposedly tougher than his other personas. Then again, I'm just going by theory," said Gallantmon.
"If that's true, then Tai better not kid around," BW said.
"Knowing him, he'll get reckless again," Metalla X sighed.
"I never thought I'd see this happen," War Angemon whispered. "What do you think, Kari?"
"Me neither. It's odd that we face an enemy who undergoes transformations, not through the body but the mind. It's quite the unique turnaround if I do say so myself."
"Ah! Who cares! My dad will mop the floor with him!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:53 P.M.
"This is the first time I've spoken to all of you," Himo properly greeted Omega X. "We can be properly introduced. Or I should say, it's been a few months since I've shown my true face to anyone."
Saitou walked directly to Omega X with dark intentions. The warrior of courage puts up a defensive stance, but then came perhaps an unexpected twist. Rather than attacking Omega X, the Dark Angel held his left hand out as if he were asking for a handshake. In fact, it was an open hand asking for a simple, gentlemanly handshake.
"Pleased to meet you."
"What? You mean we've been chasing after your ass this whole time and now you want me to shake your hand? Not after you kidnapped my son and look at the damage you've did to me! Now my son has become traumatized thanks to you!"
Rather than frown, Saitou maintained a calm, serene smile. Omega X did not like the look across his face and prepared to shoot out a ki blast.
UP YOURS!"
However, Saitou was quick to see the attack coming and slapped it away effortlessly. Omega X stopped dead cold as he felt something grab his right arm. Quickly distracted from his blast being swatted, Saitou took advantage of his distracted adversary and snapped his right wrist like a twig. Omega X screamed out in pain but not long before Saitou's arm cannon transformed into a cybernetic hand. His fist made contact with Omega X's right cheek and forced him down to the ground. The warrior's face fell flat against the ground and was crushed under Saitou's might. This was not the end of the pain. Saitou brought down his right boot and stomps down across the warrior's gut. He spat out a mouth full of blood before lying back in pain.
Inside Neo's Dimension. 7:53 P.M.
"NO! He's going to kill father!" Max cried out.
"Max! Hold on!" Keke calls out to the boy.
Saitou's Lair
After leaving Omega X lying down, Saitou reaches down for his right hand and kindly shakes it. Omega X wasn't prepared to make any friendly gestures with his unpredictable enemy yet the pain was overwhelming his body.
"Pleased to meet you."
Insulted by Saitou's gesture, Omega X seethed and looked directly into his innocent eyes. There no shred of hate, guilt or even malice in his eyes, yet Omega X could feel a darker presence from within the man's heart. He leaped up and went for a fist attack.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Saitou swiftly moves to the side and easily dodges the blow. He immediately phased out from Omega X's sight. The warrior was caught off balance and staggers across. Suddenly, he caught glimpse of Saitou marching down to the Uraotoko.
"He just dodged my blow! That was up close and the best shot I had to knocking his screws loose!"
Looking up at the Uraotoko, he felt Neo's presence from within.
"Neo. Could you spare me an arm and spare clothes?"
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:53 P.M.
Nodding his head, Neo snapped his fingers to make a spare arm and shirt appear before him. With another snap, he teleported the necessities to the other side for Saitou.
"I've never seen Saitou-san like this," Rei Saiba gasped.
"No kidding. This one is different from the others," replied Loweemon.
"The look in his eyes have completely changed. I don't even sense hatred or malice," War Angemon said. "To think… I compared him to Devimon… Devimon would never possess such an innocent glare."
"It's true. This Saitou is a step or two removed from the others up to now," Cyberleomon said.
"The chump's not kidding around," Beelzebumon said. "Hmph, calling him a Dark Angel makes me look like chopped liver."
"I dare say that Saitou seems gentle and innocent like an angel," Mystic Celesta said.
"You're correct sister of Taichi," Neo replied. "When Saitou has become Himo, his malice, composure and sense of awe all mold together. He knows that his other personas have done heinous acts, but not Himo. It is because of his purity that Saitou suffered and despaired so much, and I saw him through it. He helped to change my views on life in general. I like Himo the most."
"What! You're not making sense!" Max retorted. "If he's so darn innocent, why did he go about hurting my dad like that! Just by going with this new name, doesn't make him all more powerful!"
"Oh, you'll regret those words, young Kamiya," Neo snickered in thought.
"I don't know what to make of this," Dorothy said. "There's more to multiple personas than we first realize."
"Dad! Don't get spooked by this creep!" Max screamed in encouragement. "Whether he's Himo or whoever, he's still the same guy you've been facing up until now!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:54 P.M.
Looking back to the conversation he had with X and the others at the hospital, he remembered how he mentioned Saitou 'being a curve ball' as opposed to someone like Burizalor or Virus 'who always throw the fast ball'. He made sure to keep that advice to himself.
"From the moment I first saw him, I felt it. He's been hiding something. That eeriness of his… The way it seems like he's shown off everything he has up his sleeve, but you know that he still has hidden tricks and now he's ready to throw the ultimate gauntlet."
Walking methodically across the caverns, Saitou has replaced his robotic arm with a flesh replacement and put on another black shirt over his scarred body. He still possessed that same angelic innocent glare, which was beginning to spook even Omega X.
"This Saitou is unlike the rest of his peanut gallery. He just maybe the most strongest of them all. How could I forget that Millenniumon is still out there? If I can't beat this guy, then I can forget about confronting Millennimon anytime soon."
Saitou stopped at the dead center and kept his eye on Omega X.
"This is sure going to be interesting, Saitou. Don't you agree!" Omega X growled intensely.
"Be honest. Do you still have enough strength left, even in your fourth level, to fight?" Saitou asked.
"Feh. Of course I do! Right now, there's nothing else I'm thinking about but defeating you! I'm not ready to give up!"
"Oh? So, you really think you can defeat ME?"
With that said, Saitou busted out into a sinister laughter. There was nothing sincere or innocent about this laughter. It was mixed with malice and happiness. His eyes started to emit bright, golden flashes of light. Omega X suddenly felt the entire cave starting to tremble under his laughter. The ground crumbled and stalactites dropped from the ceiling. The walls were coming down as if they were the Jericho Walls.
The entire group, except Neo, was shocked to witness Saitou's sudden power-up through his laughter alone. Yet, there was something else behind the Dark Angel, especially since a golden aura was covering his body and his eyes were emitting the same color aura. His face became transfixed with excitement and pleasure. Omega X's eyes widened in shock while gazing upon a golden-covered Saitou. He certainly did live up to the name 'angel' since that was exactly what Saitou had become: a sincere, pure figure with a heart of malice.
At last, X has revealed himself to actually be Tai's son, MAX! Yet, how will Tai and Max take this? Tai realizes that he needs X if he hopes to defeat Saitou. On the other hand, Taichi has come face to face with the true Saitou: Himo the pure. He is the original and purest of the seven personalities within Saitou. Overcoming many enemies in the past, does Taichi have any chance of winning against a pure power? Will his friends manage to escape the Uraotoko to aid him against the Dark Angel? Only six minutes remain before the 'End of Times' as we know it.

(Preview)
TK/War Angemon: Hi, everyone! This is TK! Just when you think Saitou's other personalities were unique, Himo proves to be unstoppable!
Takato/Gallantmon: Even Omega X at his best can't stand a chance against Saitou's Sacred Light Aura.
Tai/Omega X: Well, I'm not about to go out without a fight! My wrist maybe broken, but I'll kill myself just to take this guy down!
Max: No! There has to be a way out of here! My dad needs us!
Dorothy: Tai takes a beating like none other.
Matt/Metalla X: Fate is for the fools. We thought we would triumph, but it's not possible. Saitou is not like all the arrogant enemies we've faced. He will kill us all.
X: What! Impossible! Himo's managed to master the Saint Light ki! Not even the purest of Angemon or Seraphimon have harnessed this rare trait! How could Saitou possess such a holy power?
Saitou: The Saint Light ki is all I need to crush you, Taichi. Prepare yourself.
X: Tai! We need to use the Nexus emerald! It's the only way to defeat Saitou and ensure that damn tunnel closes!
Omega X: What makes you think it will even work?
X: You're just going to have to trust in me!
Shintomon: The next chapter is entitled…
Himo Saitou's Saint Light Ki Is Incredible! The Warrior of Courage… Can't Win?
Omega X: Nothing is going to stop me from defeating, Saitou. Even if I have to give my own life up… Do whatever you can. Only one of us will walk into the valley of the shadows.
There goes yet another long ass chapter. Damn, this one took my about three days to finish. This was seventy pages long! Hope you guys liked those surprise cameos from Andromon, Piximon and Centaurmon. I haven't used them since season one for cripes sakes! Plus, Yolei and her family get more screen time than usual. Sorry for the lack of background music but I had no music available to insert for this chapter. The next chapters will contain background music. Promise!
How can we also forget the true identity of X! If any of you read Max Acorn's story, you'd know that X is actually Max Kamiya. Yes, in a way, his series and my D-Fusion series is connected in someway or another. Heh, looks like Tai and X have a lot of explaining to do for little Max. chuckle Oh and Max/X respectfully belongs to Max Acorn. The same goes for Pikkan, BW, Keke, Sam, David, Tike and Kara. All of the D3s have made their presence felt in this chapter. MA, if only you were here to read this awesome saga. Where are you?
At this rate, the next set of chapters just maybe as long as this one. I have quite some ways to go, specifically only about eight chapters to completion. How am I going to squeeze Millenniumon into this with Saitou kicking ass right now? That is the question I've been asked recently. There are only eight chapters to go and I stated I would be writing long chapters. So, expect the finale battle to consist of LONG chapters. Wish me luck everyone. I'll need it.
The series is winding down to end, thus allow me to work on the upcoming movie/OVA/special feature fics. After that, D-Fusion will be complete and I will move on with other major projects (like Pharaohmon and the sequel).
Chapter 205: Himo Saitou's Saint Light Ki Is Incredible! The Warrior of Courage… Can't Win?

Well, it's time everyone! I have all this week to work through most of my Millenniumon Saga. Though, updates might be just teeny bit slow since my brother just came back from Japan to see the family for a month. I'll be spending some time with him, but I still won't abandon my fanfic duties. Anyway, now that X has been unmasked, let the fireworks begin as Tai has to go toe to toe with the real Himo Saitou.
Before we start, I'll be answering a review's question. I'll quote him. Fett asked "I thought it was mentioned in an earlier chapter that David was adopted. If that's the case, then how can he possess those powers?"
Answer is simple my friend. David wasn't born in this universe. He originally came from MA's D-3 universe, much like X and the other D-3s. So after their battle with an apocalyptic monster, they were transported to another universe and ended in my D-Fusion universe.
Huanlongmon himself accepted them as his aides, but only three can actually have permission to enter the human realm. Those would be X/Max, Keke and David. David asked to be transported to earth to see how his 'father' and posed as an orphan. Davis figured Sonja couldn't have a kid, so he went to adopt David at an orphanage.
Little does he realize, this kid would actually be his son in another universe. Eventually, though, Davis and his wife will eventually have their own 'David' in this universe. Talk about a coincidence, no? I hope this is not as complicated as the Ryo story. Does that answer your question? ((chuckle))
Dark Qivit, wow. I'm really flattered. I really didn't expect to be ranked as one of the elite writers of the Digimon Fanfiction section. Psycho G, AnT, Silver1, Epsilon Zeta, Alforce Zero? Really, I am flattered. This fanfic series was meant to be a sort of DBZ/Digimon crossover, but I went with the idea of how DBZ concept/elements/ideas would look like if incorporated into the Digimon realm. Now, I've implemented the Yu Yu Hakusho theme into the series, especially for this specific saga. It would be interesting to see the Digimon use Ki-energy as a primary weapon, fly around at faster then light speed pacing and see them do all that crazy stuff. Now, it's already become an epic with a few readjustments. That's where the movie/OVA fics will come in.
Heck, I'm only one of few authors who actually turned Kari from a damsel in distress into a hero that freaking destroys an end of season villain (Virus of Zero Two and again in D-Frontier), eventually becoming an equal with her brother at several points across my series. People, never underestimate the Child of Light or push her to her limit, or else you're in BIG trouble. Virus learned that the hard way TWICE. :p Too bad I haven't exploited the Dark Ocean in my entire series. I'll have a chance to write those as movie fics as soon as I finish this one.
Thus far it has worked. I've gotten great reviews for the past three and a half years. The series is still going. I'll be sad when I actually finish this. It's my 'Golden Child' fic series so to speak. Anyway, thanks. I appreciate it. Thank you and continue to enjoy my fanfic series.
Before we start, I'd like to give my shout to you, MA! WELCOME BACK! Well, at least for now. I hope you can at least stick around for the final chapters, especially the last two. They either make or break the entire series.
At last, I'll shut up and suppress my own ego for you guys to enjoy this chapter. Tai vs. Saitou continues!
It's only a matter of time before the boundary tunnel to the Dark Realm would open. The Earth itself is becoming unstable. Michael and Metal Seadramon finally received aid from the return of the Digital World's warrior trio: Andromon, Piximon and Centaurmon. They helped to stop the renegade digimon rampaging across Japan.
Yolei and her family managed to escape the hospital to avoid any disaster. They set out to carry Ken's body and relocate themselves to Yolei's old family home. After calling up her siblings, a pair of leftover Cultivarmon arrived to attack her. It was then that Aquillamon, David and Sam wasted the green little gremlins before they had a chance to tear them apart. They set off to move away from the upcoming fray.
Meanwhile, back inside Demon's Cavern, Omega X was placed in his most difficult situation ever by the brutal assault by Kain, the most sadistic of Saitou's seven personalities. However, thanks to X rushing to his side, Tai narrow escaped death by the last second. Before using the Nexus Emerald, X unmasked himself for the first time in years. He was actually Max Kamiya himself! He was sent to this universe from another time and space to train upcoming digital worlds to help ward off threats from other dimensions. Saitou was the first followed by Tai. Now, X watches as his two apprentices wage war against one another with different ideals.
Wanting to settle things with Saitou himself, Tai prevented X from using the Nexus Emerald and whooped the hell out of Kain. Suddenly, at the heat of Omega X's vicious comeback, Himo Saitou finally revealed his true self. Omega X just maybe in big trouble…

Himo Saitou's Saint Light Ki Is Incredible! The Warrior of Courage… Can't Win?
Within Odaiba and on trek to Ai-Mart/Former Inoue Residence. 7:54 P.M.
The skies were already darkening and eclipsing whatever sunlight can even manage to penetrate. This major phenomenon was actually occurring in major cities across the globe and whatnot. Even the weather forecasters and theorists are baffled as to what to think could really be the cause of this. Well, this is something only Digital World intelligence and the Digi-Destined would know. This is much worse than the time the Digital World was actually shown above the heavens after Myotismon's rampage. After seeing the numerous battles with Burizalor and his forces, the humans became convinced that this was merely a foreshadowing of events to come. Conspiracy theorists became more convinced that the 'End of Times' would soon be at hand. For once, they were actually right. But in this case, the fate of the human race would be determine by one simple tunnel leading to a realm of the most destructive, ruthless titans the digital world could ever come in contact with. If one of these Synister beasts even manages to escape, then the whole planet is in grave jeopardy. They'll cause more damage than any bio/nuclear weapon man could ever forge. Even planet detonation is not out of the question. The Earth has exploded once by the D-Reaper. Without the digicores to restore the earth, mankind may very well see its end of times.
On the other hand, the Inoue-Ichijouji family was not at least concerned with the events to come. They set out to find the farthest hiding location. Yolei was determined to keep her husband's, Ken, body safe before her friends can return with the digicores to restore his life. Fortunately for her, her three older siblings were able to pick her up and her family.
With Aquillamon, David and Sam flying above the streets, they managed to keep up with the Suburban vehicle harboring Yolei, Ken's body, the Ichijouji couple, Tike, Kara, Naomi, Shinobu, Wormmon and Yolei's three older siblings. Driving the vehicle was Yolei's eldest brother, Mantarou Inoue. He's completely out of college and has become a video game designer for the latest games, such as the upcoming Devilman Kingdom remake. He is married with one daughter. Sitting at the passenger's seat was the second eldest of the three Inumon sisters, Momoe Inoue-Canebrook. She has become an owner of her own convenient store much like her parents. She is married with two children, a son and a daughter. Sitting next to Yolei is the second eldest sister, Chizuru Inoue-Sanagara. Her career is with an animated studios, where she helps with the direction of certain anime titles to be shown through TV Japan. She is married with a son. So it's safe to assume that the Inoue siblings have managed to grow up and create a litter of children much like their parents.
"I really would like to thank you guys. It's so good you are still even in Odaiba," Yolei stated. "Who would have thought we'd be together again."
"Isn't quite touching? Our baby sister asking us for a favor?" Mantarou teased Yolei.
"Oh, that's enough out of you," Momoe scoffed as she slapped her brother's hand. "Anyways, it's good to know that you still have our phone numbers. We haven't seen each other for quite a while."
"I'm sorry about Ken,' Yolie," Chizuru sighed in sadness. "He is quite the cutie. You do have taste for men."
"Well, I did tell you guys that there would be a way to bring him back."
"Yeah, through some Digi-core thingies?" Mantarou wondered.
"They're called Digicores," Tike replied. "They can bring back anyone to life as long as they don't die twice before. At least, that's how I remember."
"Nope. You're right as always, bro," Kara giggled.
"Sounds like something off a show I used to watch," Momoe replied. "Well, this is quite the coincidence."
"Well, believe it because it's real," Yolei said. "By the way, how are you holding up, Mr. and Mrs. Ichijouji?"
"We're fine, but not complete as long as Ken is the way he is now," Mrs. Ichijouji sighed sadly.
"Don't worry. We're only about a minute away from our old home anyway," Chizuru reassured the couple. "Our husbands, children and Mantarou's wife will be there to join us."
"These digimon activities are so out of whack! I hope this get any worse than that time monsters attacked the entire planet a few days ago or even the incident where digimon actually appeared in the real world many years ago," Momoe said.
"You mean during the days leading to the War Games?" Yolei asked. "I'm afraid things just might get worse. I just have that feeling."
"Don't think like that, Yolei," Wormmon said as he hopped onto her lap. "You know as well as I know that we're going to pull through this mess. Tai and the others will not let some monsters pass through the tunnel! They'll fight this enemy and overcome it."
"I know what you mean and I commend you. You haven't lost faith, but really? Look at our world now. It's coming apart. Digimon are rampaging across the planet, the skies are darkening and even the world's military won't have a have to put down whatever comes out of that hole. The human race may very well end."
"Yolei. Don't even think about anything that!" Mantarou exclaimed. "Look, you have your friends out there doing their best to stop this nutcase from opening a tunnel right! Your little green friend is right. Now isn't the time to lose hope even if the situation now looks grim. Your own son, Sam, is above us with your digimon and David to protect us as we drive. Everyone is risking their lives to protect us. Now, you go and start losing faith in them? Last time I checked, you are one of them, right?"
"I am… was a Digi-Destined. I'm a mother of three children. You guys only have at least one or two children, but I have to raise three! Yeah, who would think that the youngest sister would end up with the hardest work! These past few days have been very stressful for me! First Sonja's own brother, Jax, murders my own husband in front of me and our children! They're still traumatized from that event alone! Now we have been told about the possibility of a greater evil that would emerge from this tunnel just because some head case wants the human race dead! If you guys were in my shoes, you'd think the same thing! I just want all of this end!"
Before Yolei went into another outburst, Chizuru had heard enough and slapped her younger sister across the face. That was enough to send Yolei rocking back against her seat. She covered her welted face and gasped in shock.
"Whoa…" Tike whispered. "That sure knocked some sense into her."
"Shh. Quiet," Kara covered her brother's mouth.
"You need to wake up, Yolei. Or have you forgotten five years ago!" Chizuru replied with tears in her eyes. "A monster destroyed our planet with relative ease! I think you guys called it the D-Reaper…"
"Yes, I do remember. How can I forget?" Yolei replied.
"Think of it this way. The planet hasn't even been wasted, right?" Mantarou asked. "We're still here and that's all that matters."
"That's right, Yolei. Just be glad that our home is still intact. I'm willing to bet that your friends will prevent this supposed Armageddon and everything will pass as it were nothing," Momoe said.
Yolei nods with every comment that her siblings have been giving her. She looks out the window and sees an image of Ken with a smile. After letting out a depressive sigh, Wormmon hopes back onto Ken's body and snuggles next to him. Yolei picks up Shinou and cradles him like a caring mother would.
"They're right. I shouldn't even stress myself too much over this. I'm sure Tai and the others will stop this maniac and stop the tunnel. It's only a matter of time right? All of this will boil over and go away like a bad dream. D-Reaper and everyone before eventually faded away. We all moved on each time afterward. This is no different, right? Guys. I really hope you are right. All I want is everything to be just and have Ken restored. I'd rather want my children to grow up knowing they were raised by great parents. Only we can determine our own futures. It's all up to faith and hope. Guys, I wish you the best and I'm sorry for not being there with you. I'll do my part to protect my family. Tai, I've been told you have your son to rescue. Show this bastard maniac not to mess with us Digi-Destined."
"We're finally here," Mantarou announced.
"Well, it's about time," Momoe sighed. "Otherwise, at the speed you're going, we would have not made it."
"What? So you can speed race your way over here!"
"Better than your old tortoise driving!"
"Never trust a woman driver behind the wheel!"
"There they go again," Chizuru sighed. "Just like old times. Huh, Yolei? All four of us would get into hissy fit arguments."
"Yep. Just like old times."
As the vehicle against the sidewalk next to the old Ai-Market, the entire party departed from the vehicle. Mantarou and Mr. Ichijouji helped to carry Ken's body towards the backdoor. The store didn't seem open and the backdoor was surprisingly left open. Perhaps, the employees had forgotten to lock it since monsters did attack the city at some point.
"Looks like the coast is clear, Yolei," Wormmon said.
"For now at least. If anything happens here then we'll move out. Hear that, Aquillamon?"
"I'm two steps ahead of you. I'll stand guard out here with Sam and David."
"You sure you want to stand guard, Sam? It's going to get dangerous and you never know what might happen," Yolei kneeled over to her son.
"I'll be fine as long as David and Aquillamon are here with me. Don't you worry about a thing. We can take care of anything that gets in our way."
"Well, ok then. Aquillamon. Watch these two boys very closely."
"Will do."
"Ok, Wormmon. Let's get inside and relax for a bit. We'll take it easy and determine which way he should go from here. Is that okay?"
"I'm fine with it as long as we eventually restore Ken."
"That's a promise, Wormmon."
"Thank you."
"If only I can keep my word on that promise, Wormmon. But only Tai and the others can bring those digicores back to us. We will be needing them."
Rainbow Bridge. 7:54 P.M.
(Play Inuyasha OST theme Sword of a Fang)
The three Digital warriors and Metal Seadramon were practically having a field day against the rogue digimon. Metal Seadramon was already easily handling a pair of Gesomon and Mega Seadramon. Piximon flew across the skylines as he shot down several Flybeemon and Kuwagamon with numerous bombs.
"PIT BOMB!"
These tiny little bombs managed to knock away several Flybeemon and delete the Kuwagamon hordes. He turns to find a Megadramon soaring after towards him. The tiny little fuzz ball places a hand out and stops the Megadramon at his trek with a form of telekinesis to keep the beast at bay.
"Hehe. Over the course of my training, I've near perfected telekinesis on the strongest of mega digimon," Piximon snickered. "Since you are an ultimate, you don't stand a chance. Pit bomb!"
Throwing out another bomb at the frozen Megadramon, Piximon successfully deletes the monster. He turns to find himself surrounded by Cockatorimon. The roosters each shot out a simultaneous eye beams. Piximon managed to twirl his stick around and easily bounces the attacks right back at the roosters. Each were instantly turned to stone and dropped down to the bottom of the sea below.
"Well, that certainly was easy. I don't see why we were left to deal with such wimps," Piximon sighed.
"Because we have an assignment," Centaurmon calls out. "It's our duty to ensure these rogues don't damage the human world."
Suddenly, an array of Icedevimon swarmed across to unleash a full scale icicle attack. The half man-half horse digimon shoots himself across with incredible speed. The ice virals were caught by surprise and prepared to attack. Centaurmon merely chuckled and blasts them all at once with the arm cannon on his right arm.
"SOLAR RAY!"
His attack easily incinerated ice demons, which Renamon once had trouble defeating at some point.
"Gennai has assigned us the task as a special unit force just in case the Digi-Destined are too busy with other priorities such as this. I really do pray that they manage to defeat this human and restore Azulongmon of the digicores. His power is weakening and the balance of his digital world is becoming unstable."
Andromon flies across after deleting an army of Mekanorimon with a single energy beam. He rejoins with his two comrades and did not look like he even put so much effort in his attacks.
"This is much too simple, even for me," Andromon replied.
"These are simply the small fish," Metal Seadramon spoke up to the trio. "According to what Michael and I have been told, if that tunnel opens…"
"Then, all hell will break loose and even us four won't stand a chance," Centaurmon stated.
"You crazy! Not even the Digi-Destined, Tamers and the warriors will stand a chance! The Synisters are simply above us in every way possible!" Piximon panicked.
"That is why we must do our best to take care of these low levels until the actual threat arrives," Andromon replied. "I'm willing to die in the heat of battle if it comes down to."
"We've died once before with the Digital Invaders. We'll die again trying my friend," replied Centaurmon.
"I don't know about you three, but I'm not about to give up on Michael just yet," replied Metal Seadramon. "We must ensure that these people escape safely."
"Agreed. We all must stick with our code to protect those in need," Piximon said. "So, shall we get back to work?"
"Of course!" Andromon exclaimed as he immediately fly out across the city.
"Bring it on, big boys! I'll show you never to pick on the small!" Piximon snickered as he twirled around his battle staff.
"The name of the Digital Knights!" Centaurmon calls out a battle cry before returning back to stopping more rogues.
"Shall we get back to where we left off, Michael?"
"Of course! Go for it, Metal Seadramon!"
Before long, an army of Divermon threw out their harpoons at Metal Seadramon. It wasn't long before the mighty beast lashed out its tail and swept the Divermon away onto shore.
"It's all on you, guys. Only you can prevent that tunnel from being opened. Good luck, my friends."
(End of theme)
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:54 P.M.
Watching the turn of events unfold through the viewing orb, the outside party group was stunned by the sudden change in Saitou. Not just in ki but also personality. Gosenzomon and Shintomon were very concerned since Saitou has now reverted to his purest face. Even now at a Super Fusion level four, Saitou was still able to put him down into the ground.
"Oh, this is not looking good for Taichi," sighed Gosenzomon.
"Elder. You're going to have to let me in there! X and Tai are in the fray of this mess. Taichi is my responsibility and I have to see to it that he survives!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
"Why not!"
"Please, listen Shintomon," Lady Moinanea spoke. "This is Taichi's fight. Interfering would only prevent them from using the Nexus Emerald. It's the only possible solution to stopping this madman and possibly sealing him inside that tunnel."
"You even heard X himself say that he would be willing to join him in the process! He can't just expect to sacrifice himself for all of us!"
"Sometimes sacrifices have to be made," Gosenzomon replied. "I don't the crazy idea of X's but we must respect his decision."
"But he's still my son!" Sora snapped. "X is Max! If we lose X inside that tunnel, then I won't ever forgive him!"
"Sora, please calm down," Mimi tried to calm the tensed woman.
"No! I won't! If X gets himself caught through that tunnel to stop Saitou, then I consider him a fool for even considering such a senseless sacrifice! Why can't he just simply trap Saitou inside and get it over with!"
"Because, he too wants to atone for what he's done," Lady Moinanea replied. "Understand this, Mrs. Kamiya. Your husband is out there risking his life to protect you and save Max. He possesses unlimited courage and I admire him for that. That trait alone has allowed me to choose him as my champion."
"She's right, Sora," Izzy nodded. "It was X who trained Saitou and sent him on that mission to that military base in Okinawa. Saitou himself saw the cruelty of humans towards digimon. He snapped and lost any hopes of protecting the lives of humans. So in a way, Saitou once possessed unlimited courage much like Tai himself. But, all that changed in one night and his young mind became corrupted."
"Now, he seeks to end both X and Taichi in the process," Shintomon stated. "But, you can't expect me to sit here and take no course of action! I will not stand for it!"
"There's nothing you can do for now," Gosenzomon stated. "However… If the situation grows dire and the Nexus Emerald manages to somehow fail, you may go and do what you can to help them."
"Then, I'm going too!" Sora sits up.
"Whoa! Are you crazy lady!" Kenta and Kazu exclaimed in unison.
"No, I'm not. My husband is in there as well as my son. It's my duty as a mother and wife to be there in person. Phoenixmon. Will you join me?"
"Of course."
"Hey! What are you crazy! That's Saitou we're talking about! What if he sees you and uses you as hostage to hold Tai at bay!" Dimitri cried out. "You're only wasting your own life away."
"Saitou won't stoop to that level I can assure you that, my boy," Gosenzomon replied. "He only wants Taichi. That's all he's been looking for and he's got him. He'll worry about Sora as soon as the tunnel opens."
"I could care less if he sees me as a non-factor," scoffed Sora. "I'm going to be there to support my husband."
"Wow, Sora. You really do love Tai," Mimi thought. "But you're even willing to risk your own life to become a witness to his own battles? You haven't changed a bit. It was you alone who eventually caused Tai to become Omega X in the first place. Who would think it would be sweet, innocent Sora to give rise to the greatest hero the Digital universe has ever known?"
"Mom. What do you think about this?" Dimitri asked.
"I support Sora' decision, though I admit it is reckless. But she's doing what a mother and a wife would do."
"Would you do it if dad was in there instead of Max's dad?"
"Of course! Then, I'd show Saitou a thing or two not to make me mad! You wouldn't want to see me when I'm mad!" Mimi clenched her teeth. "Even that creep would show fear when I'm under PMS!"
"Geez, I don't know what's scarier. Saitou or a pissed off Mimi," Guardromon thought.
Just then, there was a rattling noise behind the hovercraft. Arukenimon was standing next to the unit while filing her nails. Hopping out from out of the back trunk was none other than Mummymon. He wrapped a white bandana around his forehead and throws out several martial arts punches.
"Mummymon is back in the game!" the crazy mummy digimon calls out. "I've finally come out of retirement to give that Saitou punk my almighty Mummymon Super Tornado Megaton Punch! HI-YAA!"
With a single slap to the back of his head, Arukenimon stood over the fallen Mummymon and tapped her foot. His hat enlarged with a large lump forming out of it. Mummymon's eyes were glazed over with his tongue sticking out. Black Gatomon walks over to the fallen Mummymon and pokes him with his toe.
"Um, I think you pretty much killed him."
"He deserves to have his mouth shut," Arukenimon growls in frustration.
"Um… Did I just get out of retirement…?" Mummymon asked while stuttering. "Momma… Can you make me some pudding…?"
"Hey, you guys! Something is about to start!" Jeri announced. "Looks like Saitou's laughing and the whole caverns are trembling!"
As soon as she said that, an earthquake started to take place. The digimon were quick to pick up on the strong ki emitting out the caverns. They were certainly coming from Saitou's purest form. It was a ki that not even Omega X was capable of reaching.
"Whoa! That's coming that from guy alone!" Lopmon exclaimed. "A human with this much ki exists in our world!"
"He's… He's even stronger than Omega X now!" Hercules Kabuterimon gasped.
"It seems like the entire planet is trembling! This is just simply from a laugh!" Rosemon cried out. "Unreal!"
"So, this is what Saitou is truly capable of? Or is there more to this new face with more than meets the eye? His ki has managed to transcend the strongest of even the Digital Fusion and God levels at this point," Shintomon thought.
"I agree, my boy," Gosenzomon said. "Saitou has already even surpassed Huanlongmon and us for that matter. All other enemies before him have been nothing more than simpletons. I'm afraid to say it, but Taichi is in serious trouble…"
"C'mon, Tai. I believe in you," Sora whispered. "You're the bearer of the Crest of Courage. You have no equal. Not even this bastard has what it takes to overpower you."
"I would hope so, Sora," Lady Moinanea agreed with Mrs. Kamiya. "Your husband is a true hero."
With a single nod, Sora was focused on the battle that was soon to be at hand. She clasped her hands together and prayed for her husband to bounce back from this predicament.
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:54 P.M.
The entire group inside Neo's territory was gazing down in shock as Saitou began laughing. It was a laughter blended with joy, malice and sheer insanity. It only managed to bring more eeriness to the already spooky caverns, much like a thriller horror movie. They wondered what the Dark Angel's next motive would be. Even Metalla X, Pikkan, BW and Cyberleomon were at a loss for words.
"I've never seen Saitou-san like this," Rei Saiba gasped.
"No kidding. This one is different from the others," replied Loweemon.
"The look in his eyes have completely changed. I don't even sense hatred or malice," War Angemon said. "To think… I compared him to Devimon… Devimon would never possess such an innocent glare."
"It's true. This Saitou is a step or two removed from the others up to now," Cyberleomon said.
"The chump's not kidding around," Beelzebumon said. "Humph, calling him a Dark Angel makes me look like chopped liver."
"I dare say that Saitou seems gentle and innocent like an angel," Mystic Celesta said.
"You're correct sister of Taichi," Neo replied. "When Saitou has become Himo, his malice, composure and sense of awe all mold together. He knows that his other personas have done heinous acts, but not Himo. It is because of his purity that Saitou suffered and despaired so much, and I saw him through it. He helped to change my views on life in general. I like Himo the most."
"What! You're not making sense!" Max retorted. "If he's so darn innocent, why did he go about hurting my dad like that! Just by going with this new name, doesn't make him all more powerful!"
"Oh, you'll regret those words, young Kamiya," Neo snickered in thought.
"I don't know what to make of this," Dorothy said. "There are more to multiple personas than we first realize."
"Dad! Don't get spooked by this creep!" Max screamed in encouragement. "Whether he's Himo or whoever, he's still the same guy you've been facing up until now!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:54 P.M.
Standing at the center of the cryptic caverns, Saitou was standing out and gave a heartily laugh that lasted for at least half a minute. Omega X managed to sit up despite injuries but ignored the pain overcoming him. Saitou's laughter could even be heard all the way to where X was laying unconscious. Omega X growled and spoke out against the Dark Angel.
"Damn! What the hell is so funny! The Joker gas must have done wonders for you cause you really got the crazy laugh down!"
Ignoring his adversary's snide remarks, Saitou continued to bawl out in joyful laughter. His eyes widened with sheer pleasure and emitted a white auras of light. Suddenly, the entire caverns trembled once again like before and caused an array of stalactites to drop all over the cavern's surface. The rock walls started coming down like the Walls of Jericho.
Just then, a bright golden flash of light shone across the ground. They shattered the falling rocks and engulfed Saitou's entire body. He almost like as if he were set on fire but the blazing yellow ki aura protected him as if it were a shield of some sorts. Rocks uplifted from the ground and twisted around him to as if he were a walking atom. Finally, a mighty gust of wind blew the rocks away and the golden light condensed into a column shape over him.
Omega X felt the overwhelming golden ki and gasped out in shock. This was a new ki that he has never felt before. It was pure and not filled with any evil energy. How would could such a man with a heart of malice create an aura of pure angelic-like energy? It was definitely a first, even for Omega X.
"Ki energy! Ki energy with purity to it! How is that possible? Even my ki can be pure, but this is incredible! It's almost as if he were a messenger from God!"
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:54 P.M.
The group were shocked, perhaps even more so than Omega X at the moment. Rei nervously looks on and worries for Saitou's unpredictable capabilities. War Angemon and Mystic Celesta sensed out Saitou's ki. Much to their chagrin, they were stunned. This wasn't like any pure angel ki a normal Angemon or even a Serpahimon would emit.
"No! That's not spirit ki or any sort of Ki would normally detect!" Mystic Celesta gasped.
"You're right. It's so new to me," spoke War Angemon.
"What kind of ki is it then!" Pikkan asked.
"Plus, this is coming from a freaking human!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "A human with the ability to match Omega X!"
"I'm afraid he's already surpassed even Tai at this point," Dorothy sighed.
"No! What makes you say that? Tai hasn't given up yet!" Kaiser Greymon growled.
"You're not getting it, Takuya," Loweemon said. "This ki is already stronger than all of us."
"You've got to be kidding me!" Mega Gargomon cried out.
"No way! My dad is still in this fight!" Max cried out to the group. "You're not giving him any full support. You all turned your backs on him."
"We haven't Max, but you have to admit things are looking bleak for your dad," Keke sighed. "Look, I want your dad to beat this guy senseless and we would all go home once that tunnel is sealed. But, it's just not going to happen."
"No… Father…"
"This isn't even ki from a dark being," Beelzebumon said. "Normally I'd sense that kind of energy from a long mile away, but this is different."
"Right," Metalla X agreed.
"Well, if it's neither spirit, normal, digital or dark ki, then what is it?" asked Ultima X.
"I'm afraid we're soon going to find out," Sonja replied.
Saitou's Lair. 7:54 P.M.
(Rob D's "Clubbed to Death-Kurayamino Mix))
Saitou's body was covered by a bright, golden aura of light. No being has ever harnessed a form of ki energy similar to what Saitou was wearing. It was a rare kind of power only a few out of a billion would ever achieve, but this was the first human to actually achieve it.
The golden aura gave off an eerie howling effect. Omega X looks on with a shocked expression and a gaping mouth. X was slowly moving about. He lifted his head up and sits up with a headache.
"Ow, damn. Tai had better warn me next time before he does that. Huh…?"
Suddenly, X caught glimpse of the energy emitted by Saitou and gasped in shock. He never thought he would ever see this form of ki ever again. This was something he was familiar with in his former home universe. He started having flashbacks of golden warriors, each possessing the same kind of golden. In Saitou's case, it was more pure than any of them.
"No… He's managed to… It can't be! That Ki… He's mastered the Saint Light ki!"
"Wha…? The Saint Light ki!" Omega X exclaimed.
"Tai. It's the ultimate battle aura, which not even the Sovereigns, Huanlongmon, or even the purest of all the angel digimon have ever achieved! But, how did you gain it! It takes hundreds of years discipline to learn it!"
"I have certain innate talents that inevitably make me different from others, including the highest echelon of digimon and Digital fused warriors. For example, Taichi, even supposing that the amount of Ki you had was several times greater than mine, you would still be unable to possess any scared powers with your ki alone."
"What!"
"Yes, even your teachers and purest friends have their limits. Even your dear sister, Hikari, the Child of Light has her limits. I've got you beat in both quality and quantity."
The Dark Angel slightly powers up and sends out a mighty gust of wind that nearly knocks the Super level four warrior off his feet. But, Omega X managed to hold his ground and crosses his arms over himself.
"This Saint Light ki is on a whole different scale of spectral power. It beats out even the powers of Light, Hope and Miracles. With this power alone, it may end up seeming like I'm bullying a weakling. Allow me to demonstrate for you, Taichi."
(End theme)
With a single wave of his pinky finger, Saitou sends out an invisible force. It quickly pushes back against Omega X within a split of a millisecond and sends him flying across the caverns. The warrior didn't even have time to even think. He spat out a mouthful of blood before getting slammed against the cavern walls. What a display of power from the Dark Angel with just a wave of his pinky!
"No! Tai!" X cried out in horror.
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:54 P.M.
Everyone became shocked once again by the turn of events. They had never seen a display of power just how Saitou had just demonstrated. The sheer power of his ki was scary. Max fell to his knees and trembled in fright.
"No… Dad…"
"He just blew Tai back with just his pinky!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Ok, now I'm scared," Sakuyamon stuttered in fright.
"Even the Digimon Queen is trembling? Who would have thought?" Zephrymon said.
"If he took out Tai with just a wave of his pinky, then what chance in hell do we have!" Magna Garurumon asked.
"This is crazy! We're dead meat if we go out there now!" Metal Kabuterimon replied.
"Well, anything you want to say, Davis?" Sonja asked.
"Um… I'll get back on you with that," Ultima X replied. "Damn! What power! Tai just got punked out!"
"So, this is the true scale of your power?" Metalla X whispered.
"Saitou-san is simply too powerful for all us!" Rei exclaimed.
"Stronger than my Hope, Kari's Light and Davis' Miracles?" War Angemon stated. "Even if we attack together, we still couldn't have a chance."
"No, we can't give up," Mystic Celesta replied. "If my brother is willing to continue, then so will I!"
"Yeah, this one's not over yet. My dad hasn't bit the dust and here I am worrying," Max thought. "Besides, X is out there and they can still use the Nexus Emerald. They just need some time to find a way to use it before that bastard snatches it from them."
Saitou's Lair. 7:54 P.M.
Struggling to sit up from the fallen debris, Omega X winced from the pain shooting across his inner form. He sits up and gasps at just how godly powerful Saitou had already become. A strong human overcoming a Super Level four fusion warrior was unheard, even for a guy trained under X.
Meanwhile, Saitou simply stood his ground with his Saint Light ki engulfing him. His smile twisted into a frown. X looks on with sheer horror at how easily his 'father' had fallen.
"Tai…"
Omega X lets out a battle cry, charges up his own aura and flies out across the caverns. He phases out several times in order to throw Saitou off his game. The warrior of courage finally appears in front of Saitou and throws out an array of punches. Saitou didn't even flinch once and watched the punches hit his Saint Light ki. Omega X continued with the despite his punches not making any contact with him. Next, he charged up his fists with ki energy and punched out several more times. He hoped to break through Saitou's barrier with his ki.
Omega X leaps back and overhears the Dark Angel's joyous laughter. Having heard enough, Omega X channeled his ki and charges across for an attempt of his Ryu-Ken technique. However, Saitou saw the attempt at the last millisecond and caught Omega X's right hand. The warrior was frozen in shock. Saitou merely gave a calm demeanor and nodded.
"Give it a rest. You should take a break now."
With that said, Saitou slightly raised his fist under Omega X's arm. His knuckles met the surface of the warrior's arm. With a simple tap of his fist, Omega X watched in sheer horror as his right arm was becoming bent. The warrior let out a horrifying scream of agony and held his severely injured arm.
The entire crew gasped out in horror at the sudden event. Saitou easily managed to break the right arm of Omega X with relative ease. Max broke out of his shocked state and screamed out for his father.
Just then, the Nexus Emerald was flying up into the air. Omega X had released it when his right arm was injured and thus let it go. Saitou flew up in attempt to grab it. However, BAM! His face was blasted with an energy beam. He looks across to find Omega X already using his Time Warp teleportation to meet Saitou with an energy shot from his left hand. Omega X snatches the Nexus Emerald with his mouth. Both warriors landed down swiftly and once again locked eyes with each other.
"Hell no! I'm not handing this over that easily!"
"That's the way, Tai! That's exactly what I taught ya!" X cried out in enthusiasm. "Now, make sure to keep that Nexus emerald from him!"
Saitou's face was completely unscathed from the energy blast. He shrugged it off and chuckled.
"You… don't want to die yet, do you?" the Dark Angel asked curiously.
"Well, it damn sure beats surrendering."
Suddenly, X steps across in between Saitou and Omega X. He once again attempts to call out to his former apprentice.
"Himo… Please… It's me…"
"SHUT UP, X!"
"Tai! Please, listen! Don't go through with this!"
"Sorry if I say this, but you DON'T have a clue what I have to do!"
X's eyes widened in shock from the comment made by his 'father'. He certainly did feel like a child being sternly ordered by his own father. Omega X's frown twisted into that of a smile.
"Let me keep going, X. Please, let me keep this up…"
"Tai… Just what in Digiworld do you think you're going to do?"
"I see now, X. I'm beginning to see the picture. No, I've found the best strategy to kicking ass."
"What! You're close!"
Omega X takes one step across the cavern, which immediately caught Saitou's attention.
"Saitou. Listen up. I'm warning you, if you're afraid, then don't hesitate to kill me now, while you can," Omega X challenged the Dark Angel. "Now come one."
With a 'bring it' hand gesture, Saitou was becoming quite interested in Omega X's challenge to kill him. It was as if Tai was offering to give Saitou a free shot and a chance to finish the job.
"Come one. Something incredible is sure to happen. Before it does, come and finish me off."
"…"
"What's the matter? Come on. Or are you scared that your little destiny is nothing but a bunch of crap."
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:54 P.M.
"Yeah, Saitou! How about that now!" Max calls out to the Dark Angel. "My dad looks like he has some kind of strategy!"
"See, Max? If he continues supporting your dad, he would be bound to make a comeback! This is his chance!" Keke giggled with glee.
"You've read my mind, Kek! Go for it, dad!"
"No, I wouldn't say that, you two," Metalla X replied.
"Besides, I can't imagine that he does have a strategy," Pikkan also managed to speak up.
"Why not!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "Why are you guys disagreeing with the kids? Tai's always managed to escape death every time!"
"This isn't an opponent he never hope to defeat one on one," replied Cyberleomon.
"I agree. There's no chance of Tai winning," Loweemon sighed.
"Hey! Not you too, Kouichi!" Kaiser Greymon shouted.
Suddenly, War Angemon and Mystic Celesta noticed Metalla X of all people trembling. He's only managed to tremble in fear a few times against many powerful enemies before, but this was different. His eyes widened in fright and sweat drops came seeping across his forehead.
"My brother's a wreck," War Angemon thought. "Does he know something we don't?"
"Matt's sweating this much. Well, that's a first," Ultima X said in thought.
"Some of you guys don't have strong senses like us fusion warriors," Metalla X answered. "But Saitou's ki level is that of a High-S Class digimon."
"That's pretty strong isn't it?" Sonja asked.
"Mmhmm. That's the strongest a digimon is capable of reaching. Goddramon forbid those Super A and Super S class monsters," Mystic Celesta replied. "Saitou is suppressing his power, to keep his ki as minimal as he can."
"Think about it guys," Dorothy spoke up. "When he broke Taichi's arm, he did as gently as if he were pinching a tiny ant."
"Shame on you, two!" Max retorted. "Aunt Kari! Dorothy! You're turning against my dad! I haven't lost faith!
"Why don't you wake up, Max!" Metalla X scolded the boy. "Faith is for the fools. At first, we had thought Saitou was simply out of line. We've been made fools here. We assumed we would triumph and slay another arrogant enemy. We were arrogant this time, guys. Saitou WILL kill us all. It's laughable. His power is rare even in the Digital Universe! As we've been told, we've seldom come across guys with that kind of ki power! Yet, we have someone like that in our world- the Human world. This enemy is a human, on top of that!"
"Ok! I get it!" Max retorted while scoffing. "He's too strong for my dad!"
Suddenly, there was yet another earthquake causing the entire caverns and Neo's dimension tremble. The warriors prepared themselves while turning their attention back to through the Uraotoko's eyes to view the confrontation.
"Ugh! Not this again!" Keke cried out.
Saitou's Lair. 7:54 P.M.
The rocks and stalactites started coming down from the cavern ceilings. The sheer power of Saitou's Saint Light ki was overwhelming and created a massive crater under his feet. The wide span of the crater covered nearly half of the entire center and was deep through the earth. However, Saitou managed to levitate with his Saint Light ki engulfing his magnificent form. The upper portions of his body was slightly increasing in muscle mass. The earthquake once again died down. Omega X watched as the ground was shattering. More rocks were being lifted from the ground.
"Hmmm, oh? Was that me? Here I am suppressing my power, and its still affecting the ground like this. Sometimes, I just lose control over it. That's my only shortcoming. Within the Human World, I'm simply too strong for it. I can say the same for you and your friends, Taichi. We don't belong here. Earth's physics cannot withstand our sheer might. Our strengths are our weaknesses."
"…"
"It's quite stressful."
(Play Metallica Holier Than Thou w/o lyrics)
Omega X simply snickered and spoke out against Saitou's ramblings to catch his attention.
"You don't even make any sense!" Omega X chuckled. "That's got nothing to do with, does it?"
"Hmmm…"
"If you, like me, could destroy this world… If you want to destroy this world, or so you say that doing this kind of damage to the world is your greatest weakness. Why don't you just let it all out! Destroy this planet! I know you can with a single thought!"
"…"
"If you say you're feeling the stress, then let loose with your full power!"
"YOU MISERABLE FOOL!" Saitou bellowed. "Now what's what I call human arrogance!"
Increasing the power of his Saint Light ki, Saitou sends out yet another invisible force. This managed to send both X and Omega X flying across into the cavern walls behind them.
"You… and Your big mouth, Tai…"
"Pardon me," Saitou spoke up.
As both X and Omega X fell down from the wall, Saitou raised his hand over his chest and pointed to his heart.
"You're wrong, Taichi. I don't wish to destroy the world. On the contrary, I love all living things. I like flowers, trees, insects and animals. In fact, I even love the digimon who are not partnered as a slave to a human. The only living beings I hate are all human beings."
Omega X sits up and spits out blood mixed with saliva from his mouth. He grunted and made eye contact with Saitou.
"Well, I hate you, too," Omega X snorted. "That's the one thing we have in common. Our hatred towards one another…"
"Ha! Now, stand up! I'll have the pleasure to finish you off!"
With Saitou's glowing form levitating over the crater, Omega X sits up and pants heavily. He knew that his ki was depleting and there was no chance he would defeat the Dark Angel in his current position. With his friends and family looking on from within the Uraotoko, the warrior of courage's fate just maybe close at hand. All eyes were locked on the two apprentices. Max trembled in fear of his father possibly meeting his end. Could this sudden determination of Taichi be the foreshadowing of events that is still yet to come? There was only one way to eventually find out. One warrior will fall and the fate of mankind will be determined through this confrontation.

Moscow, Russia. 12:24 P.M.
The Russian capital was already becoming darkened with the same darkness, which Japan was undergoing at the moment. There were numerous digimon taking flight in the heavens and started to raid an attack on the Russian landscape and the city itself.
A large masse of Russians fled the scene from the attacks of the monsters. Fortunately, there was a group of adults willing to take a stand to uphold the threat of these rogue digimon. These weren't just any other adults, but they are Digi-Destined.
A blonde-haired girl with a winter getup outfit was seen riding on the back of a Snimon. Accompanying them was a Unimon and a Kuwagamon. There was a male on the back shell of the Kuwagamon while a girl was on the Unimon. They prepared themselves to protect their homeland from the incoming digimon invasion threat. Unlike the last invasion, these digimon were not going to be any friendlier. These rogues were vicious and will destroy anything in their path, including taking human causalities. The effects of the tunnel were already getting to the digimon and thus causing them to become more aggressive than normally natured.
"Our home land!" Sonya, the blonde, cried out. "Snimon! We're going to have to give it everything we have to defend our home!"
"Kuwagamon. This is it. There have been reports of digimon appearing across the world and the skies darkening. Is it true of what the prophecies say about End of Times?" Yuri, the male, wondered.
"No, because we can only change our own destinies," Anna, the other female, said. "We managed to fix the mess with the invading digimon prior to the War Games event. Why are they suddenly in our world?"
"Something tells me that the Digi-Destined from Japan, our friends, are in perhaps their most difficult battle," Sonya replied. "But, it is up to us to do what we can to ward off these invaders. Snimon, are you with me?"
"As I always will be, Sonya. Let's get rid of these nuisances."
"This won't be easy," Kuwagamon said.
"Who said it would ever be?" asked Unimon. "Digimon! Full scale attack!"
As soon as Unimon called out his battle cry, the digimon trio and their partners flew off to stop the invaders. It would take only them to defend their homeland before it falls to the upcoming destruction at hand.
Great Barrier Reef. Australia. 8:24 P.M.
Numerous ocean digimon emerged in attempt to destroy everything from cruise ships, war ships and even the great reefs themselves. Reports were even coming in that aircrafts were being deployed to stop the monsters.
Looking on from afar on shore was the Australian Digi-Destined, including an older Derek and Coleamon. Just as Derek was set to lead his entire crew, a group of uninvited guests were spotted off shore. They were a trio of Ebidramon, Gesomon and Shellmon.
"Well, looks like we have some uninvited guests!" Derek calls out. "You three! I remember you!"
"Yeah, they were planning on wrecking the great barrier!" Coleamon replied. "Hello there, boys! Remember us!"
The sea digimon trio gasped out in shock as they turned to find the Australian Dig-Destined. They easily remembered Coleamon and picked up the scent from Derek. They panicked once the young man's scent became more familiar.
"Tell me! Are you in anyway related to that kid with a Coleamon?" Gesomon asked.
"Far from it. I'm that same kid! Only I'm twenty-seven years!" Derek replied.
"Oh crap! It's him! He was with those Digi-Destined!" Ebidramon shrieked. "We better va-moose!"
As Ebidramon swam across the oceans, his two comrades went off to follow him. However, the work for the Australian Digi-Destined was still not complete. It was now reported that U.S. Air force fleets would arrive from Okinawa to stop the monsters. The Digi-Destined of Down Unda were not going to sit back and allow the military forces to stand in their way. This was their chance to protect their home country from the digimon invaders. It was either attack now or let the rogues ran amuck across the entire Australian country.
"All right, mates! This is it! We must protect our home from these blokes! Are ya'll with me!"
"Yeah!" the Australian crew cried out in unison.
"In the name of our Down Unda homeland, the Digi-Destined are here to fight!"
Derek and Coleamon led their Australian crew of nearly twenty young adults and children into ships to set sail across the oceans. They were preparing themselves for what perhaps maybe their toughest battle since Dr. Myuumon and Datamon opened the hole to Digital Limbo. Derek was determined to lead his team to victory and not allow the rogues to run rampant on their soil without a fight.
Mexico City. 3:54 P.M.
The Mexican Digi-Destined were already clashing against the rogues invading their home city. Mexico City, the largest city in population, was becoming a haven for digimon arriving out from the Digital Worlds. Amongst these Mexican Digi-Destined was once a bratty little child but has grown up to becoming a seasoned veteran. This was none other than Rosa.
The young woman led a group of younger Digi-Destined against the invading rogues. Rosa cried out in victory as her Monochromon crushed numerous digimon, including a Minotaurmon and a Blossomon.
"HI-HI-HI-YEE! ARRIBA!" Rosa cried out in victory. "This is exactly how to lead a charge to victory. Way to go, everyone! But, it's far from over! We shall protect our Mexican homeland and make our ancestors proud! This one's for Ken! HI-YEE!"
"She still hasn't forgotten over Ken? Oh boy, Rosa. You haven't grown up that much. Though, we are successfully defending your homeland. I have a feeling this is only the tip of the iceberg," Monochromon thought.
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Domain
Back within the realm of Azulongmon, the Holy Beast and Gennai witnessed the conflicts unfold through a viewing orb. Azulongmon himself was already weakened as it is and in need of his digicores once again. However, they remained in possession of the Digi-Destined outside Demon's Cavern. Gennai knew the time to retrieve the digicores was at hand, but he remained at his post.
"Gennai… I'm losing power as it is… Slowly but surely. The digicores… I will need them soon if I am to sustain my power."
"Please, hang in there, Azulongmon," Gennai asked of the Holy Beast. "You're the only one who grants humans permission to use the digicores. Once they use them, then we shall have them back in your possession."
"I… hope so… Time is running short as we speak. There's only five minutes left until that tunnel opens."
"If only Tai can stop Saitou at his tracks and prevent that tunnel from ever being opened," Gennai stated. "C'mon, Tai. The fate of the planet rests on your shoulders once again. Use that Nexus Emerald and get it over with!"
"It will be useless as long as Saitou has achieved the Saint Light ki."
"Azulongmon. You've told me this ki is a rare trait."
"It's known as the Saint Light Ki or Sacred energy. It's a trait only a few in a billion can ever achieve. Unfortunately, it's a power not even sovereigns or god level types have ever achieved. Not even Huanlongmon or even Shintomon's people have gained this ability. In fact, even the purest of Angemon or Seraphimon have achieved it. There is no documentation of a digimon possessing such power."
"So, Saitou is the first human to achieve this rare ki trait?"
"I would think so since no other human who has entered the digital world has achieved it's glorious aura."
"Shouldn't someone else pure, like Hikari have it?"
"At some point, she could have easily gained had she continued training through the years after the War Games. Unfortunately, she simply did not have what it takes. Saitou, combined with his seven personalities, may have gained this ability through the years of training during his termination period from X's cause."
"Now, I'm getting the picture. This Himo Saitou is simply a force to be reckoned with. Tai, you had better watch yourself."
03 Digital World. Zhuqiaomon's Lair
The two Sovereigns, Zhuqiaomon and Ebonwumon, were nodding their heads in disappointment. Their only hope was being easily beaten by the super powerful human with the Sacred Light ki.
"My goddramon! I never thought I would see a human of all creatures achieve what us sovereigns have failed to gain during our glorious years!" Zhuqiaomon roared.
"He looks like nothing more than a glowing light bulb with some strong watts! I really wish he would turn his light off! My eyes are already hurting as it is!" Ebonwumon complained.
"This isn't the time to be joking around, Ebonwumon. The fate of our worlds is on the line! If a human with this amount of ki were to enter our world, he would lay waste to everything we worked hard to build! The foundation of this world would crumble under his sheer might! Eventually, he will move on to the other Digital Worlds where my counterparts will fall to his Saint Light ki. The D-Reaper itself pales in comparison to this single human with the Saint Light ki."
"Wow! You must really be worried then! But you forget this smack down isn't even finished."
"The warrior of courage will eventually fall. That look on his face, despite that determined will. Even he knows that his fate hangs into balance."
"Is that the truth?"
"I'm afraid so, my friend. Warrior of courage, may you fight your very best. Make us proud."
04 Digital World. Seraphimon's Castle
Emotions were also running high within the grand castle of Seraphimon. The three Celestials were stunned to say the least about Saitou's second revelation: the unleashing of his Saint Light ki. Of the three angels, Seraphimon kept his eye closely on Saitou.
"A human achieved what we, the Celestial three, have failed to achieve! This is impossible. He's simply a human."
"A human with a heart of malice and a hatred for his own race," Ophanimon explained. "This is quite the interesting twist."
"If only we had seen into this sooner," Cherubimon sighed. "This human will prove to be a threat to our world. With the Saint Light ki, his power greatly surpasses that of Lucemon's."
"You're kidding me!" Sorcermon exclaimed in shock. "Greater than even Lucemon Satan Mode!"
"I'm afraid so," Cherubimon answered. "Am I right, Seraphimon?"
"You're correct, my friend. A power like that cannot be allowed to appear in our realm. We, too, would be crushed by this human."
"I fear for Lady Moinanea's survival. Without her, our realm will be severely weakened and the black digicores will be inactive," Ophanimon replied. "There must be something we can do to help our comrades."
"This is a fight we cannot interfere with, Ophanimon," replied Seraphimon. "We must depend on Omega X. Only he has the power currently to challenge this powerful human."
"Are you sure about that, Lord Seraphimon?" a familiar voice calls out.
The Celestial digimon turned to find two small digimon entering the room. One of which was a white animal with a pink-like circular skirt. The other was a yellow rabbit with red pants.
"Bokomon? Neemon?" Seraphimon identified the comedic duo. "It's good to see you."
"How's it like back to being watcher of the Digital World, my lord?" Bokomon asked with a bow.
"The situation grows dire since our fates rely on the one named Omega X," Ophanimon spoke. "He has been struggling against the human possessing the Saint Light ki."
"I'm afraid there's a chance he might not be able to defeat this human," Bokomon replied. "If what they say about this Saint Light ki is true, then oh dear… Poor warrior of courage. According to my book, anyone who possesses the Saint Light ki is bestowed the power to destroy numerous realities including all of the Digital Universe."
"But, didn't it also say that person would be glowing like a flashbulb?"
As usual, Bokomon could not stand the sheer stupidity of Neemon's comment and gave him another preverbal abuse of the 'pants slap'. Neemon jumped around and howled in pain from the painful treatment delivered by Bokomon.
"As I was saying, that is exactly what my book states."
"Yes, we understand what you are attempting to inform us, Bokomon. We appreciate the information," Cherubimon nodded.
"However, I refuse to believe that this is the last stand of the warrior. With the possession of the Nexus emerald, he just may have a chance to seal that human inside the tunnel without a chance to escape."
"The Nexus Emerald? Oh dear…" Bokomon gasped. "It's been foretold to be the ultimate defense spell in all of the Digital Universe."
"Which is why I am not the least bit worried," Seraphimon replied. "I have faith that the warrior will use it to keep the human at bay."
"Seraphimon. For our sake, I just hope you are one hundred percent certain," Sorcermon thought. "Omega X will need luck if he hopes to defeat this powerful enemy. The Saint Light ki is a force to be reckoned with. Good luck, warrior. May the spirit of the ancient warriors guide you."
Miles Away from Demon's Cavern
At least a mile from where Demon's Cavern was located, there were two familiar figures stepping out of the shadows of the forest. One of which was a teenage male and is notorious for being the most enigmatic individual of the three Digi-Destined teams. Ryo Akiyama was panting heavily while sitting down on the ground.
"What are you doing, Ryo! Get up! We're almost to the caverns!" a snake-like voice hissed.
"Monodramon. We've been walking for nearly a whole day. With the skies already darkening, I think we should find a place to rest."
"I feel just fine. I don't need to rest. Now c'mon!"
"I'm only human for goodness sakes! What's so important about going to those caverns! It's not like there's anything worthwhile to sight see."
After hearing those comments from his partner, Monodramon turned to face Ryo with eyes emitting a demonic, red glow. This managed to cause Ryo to jump back in fright.
"Geez, what the hell is eating him! He's already creeping me out as it is."
"That's enough senseless questions out of you, Akiyama. We're leaving now. Come! There's no time to lose! We must arrive at those caverns and I can certainly feel out the presence of the Digi-Destined. They're out there as we speak."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Of course! I wouldn't be lying to you! Now, hurry it up human!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Ryo sits up from his spot and tags behind his seemingly possessed-Monodramon. Little does the teen realize that the little dragon was possessed by the newest incarnation of Millenniumon, who was close to being released from his current vessel.
"Yes, I can sense the ki from both Taichi and Saitou. It seems Taichi is already close to death. It's only a matter of time before dear Saitou finishes off that cretin and disposes of the Digi-Destined. Afterwards, I shall grant him the wish he desires and merge with the darkness to ascend to the level of God! Yes, my time has finally come after all of this time! The Digi-Destined and their comrades will be no more! Ha! Ha!"
Journeying across the dark forests, Monodramon led the trek through with Ryo tagging along behind. It would take only at least half an hour before they would actually arrive there but they would be too late to see the tunnel actually opened.
? Center of the Four Digital World Domains ?
The great sovereign, Huanlongmon, had his glared fixated on his viewing orb. He was already starting to worry about the conditions of both X and Omega X. Most importantly, he had hoped that they would have used the Nexus emerald already.
"Huanlongmon-sama. It doesn't look like things are looking well for those two," Keke sighed. "Somehow I knew X was actually Max. I just had that funny feeling. Especially the way he kissed me after he left to help Tai out."
"I do not understand why Omega X prevented X from using the Nexus Emerald. This conflict should have ended a long time ago," the great beast replied. "This Saitou possesses the rare Saint Light ki."
"Saint Light ki?" Tike asked. "Wait, I've heard something about that legend."
"As you can tell, it's no longer a legend," Kara sighed.
"Indeed, it has come to truth after thousands of Digital Millenia. It's a trait not even us sovereigns, god types or holy digimon have been known to achieve, but, how would a human with a heart filled with malice gain it? It is said only those with pure hearts can gain it's rare power."
"Apparently, this guy has proved us wrong. He doesn't seem at all good or evil. He's a bit in between, yet he has committed such heinous acts of aggression," Keke predicted. "If this guy has the Saint Light ki, would the Nexus energy even effect him in any manner?"
"I wouldn't know since it has never been used on a human, let alone one possessing such a powerful ki. X will have to give this one a try. If the power of the Nexus energy can't stop this human, then nothing will. This is the digital universe's greatest defense spell and there is nothing more pow erful than that. X. Taichi. Make the spirits lead you to victory over this great, bitter darkness."
Saitou's Lair. 7:55 P.M.
Back inside the scene of the fated battle, Himo Saitou was still levitating over the massive crater with a determined glare on his face. He sets his sights on both Omega X and X. The warrior of courage sat up and did not take his off the Dark Angel.
"Taichi. So, you rather choose death? So be it."
Saitou points directly towards the tunnel leading to the Dark Realm. The monsters behind the barrier wall were punching their way through to breath the oxygen of the human world. Vilemon, Cultivarmon and a horde of Devimon were moaning out in unison. They were waiting to be released and that was only a matter of moments. Five minutes to be precise.
"Just look at them. The creatures from the Dark Realm are shrieking. They're getting restless and know their time to become free will be soon at hand. But, you, Taichi! You won't be around to see that!"
Suddenly, an idea popped into X's mind and he quickly turned his attention back on Omega X.
"Tai! We still have a chance! Hand over my Nexus Emerald! There's still time!"
"What? You're little toy? Sorry, I don't have it."
"Taichi! You don't have it! Don't bullshit with me!"
"No! I don't have it anymore!" Omega X replied while holding out his good hand. "He took it from me. He really is that damn quick."
X immediately turned around to find Saitou holding the possession of the Nexus emerald. Catching a glimpse of the emerald, X collects a massive amount of ki energy and channels it through towards the Nexus emerald.
"I've got it!"
"What!" Saitou gasped.
"NEXUS EMERALD ACTIVATE! NOW!"
(Play Rammestein's Du Haust w/o lyrics)
Exerting a powerful energy wave from out of his hands, he sends it across and directly to where Saitou was holding a grip on the Nexus Emerald. The Dark Angel was unable to see this coming, while feeling his body being frozen completely in place. Everyone within the Uraotoko dimension was looking on in shock. Even Neo was surprised by this turn of events.
Saitou struggled against the sheer power of X's Nexus Emerald. His golden Saint Light ki was becoming engulfed by the emerald's power. The Dark Angel felt his body being strained. He couldn't even move a single muscle within his body. X kept his focus on maintaining a strong barrier to keep his former apprentice at bay.
Inside Neo's Dimension. 7:55 P.M.
The entire group were now relieved to see X actually holding his own against Saitou with the help of the Nexus Emerald. Max found himself wanting to cheer X and forget about his rant about his untrustworthiness.
"Wow. It looks like that thing is really working," Beelzebumon remarked.
"Awesome! Keep him locked tight, X!" Metal Kabuterimon cheered.
"So that's the Nexus Emerald's powers?" asked Zephrymon.
"That's right. It's the most powerful, highest-ranked of all defensive spells that exist in the Digital Universe," Pikkan answered. "Only Huanlongmon holds possession of these under Shintomon's jurisdiction."
"Over many years, X has released his own ki energy through that emerald," Cyberleomon continued on where Pikkan left off.
"The emerald, alone?" Keke asked. "Wow, that little object has enough room to harness enough energy to keep the strongest of monsters at bay?"
"He releases it upon an enemy," BW continued on. "Thus, it creates a powerful bounding zone. X has been concentrating his own reserved ki energy through that emerald for many eons in this universe."
"In other words, not even an S-Class digimon should be able to move a muscle against this spell," Pikkan explained.
"You're right! Saitou's not even moving! X's holding his own against this no good bastard! Now send him to hell where he belongs!" Max cried out in encouragement.
"Well, at least you're back in a good mood," Keke giggled.
Saitou's Lair. 7:55 P.M.
X maintained control over the Nexus Emerald and forced more ki energy through his beam. The beam was increasing with tremendous strength, which has become enough to contain Saitou inside with relative ease.
"Surrender now, Himo! I've only used this technique twice personally! This is the first time I've ever had to use it on against a human!" X cried out directly towards Saitou.
Pushing back to release more power through his attack, X watched Saitou strain even harder against the Nexus beam energy. The Dark Angel's face contorted with a threshold of pain. He attempted to fight through that pain and overwhelm the Digital Universe's greatest defense spell. Even his Saint Light ki may not be enough to overcome it.
Meanwhile, the waves of the Nexus energy was pushing back towards the tunnel and easily deleted the low level digimon trying to break through.
"Let's go together, Himo… to the Dark Realm! C'mon! Just end it now and come with me!"
Both intensified eyes were locked against one another. It was Saitou who was straining harder and pushes himself across to get closer to snaring the Nexus emerald in his grasp. With one more push, he successfully snares the emerald in his grasp and unleashes a powerful cry that echoed throughout the caverns.
(Theme fades)
Outside the Caverns. 7:55 P.M.
Suddenly, there were earthquakes felt outside. This was perhaps the result of X's use of the Nexus emerald, plus the fact that Saitou attempting to overpower it. Shintomon and his group felt the effects of the sudden earthquake.
"Whoa! Not again!" Mimi shrieked.
"How long are these earthquakes going to last! They're becoming even more frequent!" Kazu panicked.
"My word, this is getting out of hand!" Guardromon agreed with his partner.
"Here I thought these quakes couldn't get any worse!" Joe exclaimed.
"We should have brought our first aid gear in case any one of us gets hurt!" Gomamon replied.
"These are not your ordinary quakes, my friends. This is coming from the caves. X is using that Nexus emerald. But, after what we've seen inside the cave, Saitou is attempting to overwhelm X's weapon!"
"That's because he is," Gosenzomon replied. "Shintomon. You're not going to believe this but Saitou's Saint Light ki will eventually destroy the Nexus emerald."
"What! But, it's the Digital Universe's greatest defense spell! Nobody, not even S-Class digimon can overpower it!"
"Apparently users of the rare Saint Light ki can."
"Impossible. Does Huanlongmon know that the Nexus emerald has it's limitations?"
"Apparently so, but I wouldn't be so sure."
"If he can overpower this emerald, then there isn't anything else that can hold him back?" Jeri asked.
"No. The Nexus emerald is X's last trump card. He's been saving just in case an emergency of this magnitude would ever occur," Lady Moinanea answered Jeri's questions. "If X can't stop him, then it's all up to Taichi again. I still have faith in that man."
"As we all do, my lady," Sora said as she looked towards the viewing orb. "I'm not going to let earthquakes scare me off."
"Well, X did say we had to move away from here if there are earthquakes," Shintomon informed the party. "But, there doesn't seem to be any problems outside. We'll stay put until we know a crisis occurs."
"Sounds like a plan to me," Cody replied. "If there any rogue digimon on their way here, we'll be ready. Right, Armadillomon?"
"Yup. You got that right," the armored mammal rookie nodded.
"Just leave these rogues to us," Rosemon replied.
"The small fries aren't the ones we should worry about anyways," Izzy said. "It's when the tunnels actually open that we have to keep our guards up."
"I just hope the tunnel hasn't already been opened this quickly," Sora thought. "C'mon, Tai. X. Make that emerald work!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:55 P.M.
The caverns were still trembling under Saitou and X's struggle. The sheer magnitude of the quakes was causing the entire place to nearly collapse on its own. X was straining and watched Saitou successfully grab the Nexus emerald with one hand. He gasped out in shock at the sudden turn of events.
"No freaking way!" Omega X exclaimed.
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:55 P.M.
The group was just as stunned as Omega X at the moment. Even Neo was taken back by surprise at how the Dark Angel has managed to snare it with one hand.
"Whoa! Did you guys see that!" Keke gasped.
"He caught it with one hand and it doesn't seem to be affecting him anymore!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Are you sure this bastard can do something like this?" asked Beelzebumon.
"But, he caught the Nexus emerald of all defense spells!" Pikkan cried out. "That's Huanlongmon's secret weapon and this human has successfully pushed through its defenses!"
"That Saint Light ki is out of this world," War Angemon whispered.
"C'mon, X! Make that thing work!" Mystic Celesta cries out in encouragement.
Saitou's Lair. 7:55 P.M.
(Play Random Yu Yu Hakusho fast-pace theme)
Suddenly, a smirk crosses Saitou's face as he held the emerald tightly in his grasp. He held it high over his head. The young man gasped in shock to find that his ex-apprentice was starting to overpower the ancient Nexus emerald's defense energy.
"What…! No! That's impossible! He can't stop this!"
"AHHHHH!"
Unleashing a mighty cry, Saitou uses his Saint Light ki to push out through the Nexus' energy. The yellow light consumed the Nexus light energy. The Nexus emerald itself shattered into pieces before exploding into data. A wave of overwhelming force pushes out across from under Saitou's own feet. He came levitating down with his arm still outstretched over his head. He went about releasing the Nexus energy through the cavern ceiling and sent it soaring across through the surface of the city above. That powerful energy was going to plow through the center of Odaiba park.
(End theme)
Odaiba City District. 7:56 P.M.
The entire city itself was trembling under the sheer magnitude of the power struggle that occurred earlier on. Citizens were panicking at first since the city does receive frequent earthquakes. However, they certainly weren't expecting a stream of ki energy being shot through the surface of Odaiba park and sent hurtling into space. The last of the city's population were hell bent on evacuating but many went to Odaiba park to investigate.
Yolei, Hawkmon and Wormmon were amongst those witnesses. The digimon were quick to pick up on the massive energy reading and raced down to the park. Yolei went to follow her partners out to investigate the specific location of where the blast had come from.
"This looks like a sign, Yolei," Hawkmon announced.
"No kidding, huh? Of what?"
"This earthquake is a long one," replied Wormmon. "Normally they wouldn't last this long."
"Correct. It's been occurring for the past few minutes already," Hawkmon replied. "C'mon, let's go see where that blast came from."
As soon as they saw the blast soaring across towards the heavens and exploding, the digimon knew this energy came from the bottom of the earth's surface.
"What was that just now!" Yolei asked. "Don't tell me that they're fighting that guy down in the earth's surface!"
"Perhaps in an underground cavern if I'm not mistaken," replied Hawkmon. "Look! There's where the blast came from."
"Holy mackerel!" Yolei cried out.
Just ahead of them was a massive hole about the size of a baseball field. Fortunately there weren't people at the park and no casualties as a result. A large crowd of people gathered around to investigate the site. Yolei grabbed both Hawkmon and Wormmon. She hid them under her coat and waddled over to check the hole. Her eyes widened in surprise to realize how massive the hole had become.
"Wow! Now this is one huge hole!" Yolei exclaimed. "Imagine it that blast had leveled the whole city!"
"I wouldn't want to imagine it," Hawkmon squawked underneath her coat.
"This must have come from Tai and that guy he's fighting," Wormmon said. "We're not even safe here. I suggest we move away from here and fast!"
"You're right," Yolei replied. "But, how am I going to tell this to the family? We just moved into my old home for safe keeping."
"Well, it's better to move than become incinerated by their blasts. What if one manages to penetrate through and destroy our current location?" asked Hawkmon. "It would be best to move."
"I get it. Anything to protect Ken's body. Let's go."
As Yolei raced out of the park, Wormmon squirmed out as he attempted to ask her another question.
"So, what was down there, Yolei?"
"From what I understand, there's an underground waterway running under here all the way to Mushiyori City," Yolei replied. "But, I'm not positive. All I know is that there is a long cavern passageway."
"Must be pretty long if it's all the way out in Mushiyori City," Hawkmon replied.
"I would believe so."
"First things first. We must find a new location," Wormmon suggested.
"Right! So, let's make this count!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:56 P.M.
(Play Evanescence Going Under)
Once shattering the Nexus emerald, Saitou's Saint Light ki sent the Nexus energy plowing up through the surface. A massive hole was formed through the ceiling as a result of the sheer force. His body was coated with the same healthy, golden aura as before. A confident smirk forms across Saitou's face as he chuckled and pointed to his former teacher.
"Among all the seven personalities, I'm the only one who possesses the Saint Light ki. Even you didn't take into account that I can use it and dispel even the strongest of the defense spells the Digital Gods could ever muster."
"…"
"What a waste of such a useful weapon, X. Your Nexus Emerald would have worked wonders against viral types. It would work on any type of digimon, including the sovereigns or even the mightiest of the Fusion warriors. Even Huanlongmon would tremble at the thought of his own weapon being used against him. To every human and digimon, the ultimate Ki, Saint Light aura, is pure holy power."
"…"
"C'mon, think about it this way. There won't be any humans left to protect in a few centuries anyway. You let this fall on your watch. You're responsible for the chain of events, which will occur soon. The extinction of the human race and your slain comrades. Everything you worked so hard for will go to waste. Every sovereign and god-types will eventually meet their demise against the mighty Synisters. You know it, X. You know it and the thought eats you up inside."
Losing all hope of his attempted comeback, X fell to his knees and started trembling in shock. He had never even thought about the Saint Light ki overpowering the defense power of the Nexus emerald.
"Even, I… can't stop you now. There's nothing else I can do to fight back. I've failed… I've failed everyone that I know and love. Tai. I'm sorry for everything."
"Well, isn't this quite the twist? I thought I'd never see the proud watcher and aid to the great Huanlongmon bow to my feet."
"So, it all ends here… Goodbye everyone. If all of you have to perish, then allow me to join you."
Suddenly, X felt a hand pat his left shoulder. He wakes up from his sudden depression period and looks up to find Omega X standing over him with a determined glare.
"It's still too soon to give up, X."
"Tai! It's hopeless! Stop this!"
Omega X ignored his pleas and stepped across to face off against the Dark Angel for one last assault. He was prepared to make this heroic act count.
"You can't go through with this! Both your own world and the Digital Worlds need you to survive! You're their only hope! You won't be good to them dead!"
"…"
"Not even the Nexus emerald, which had been stored with half of my strongest ki energy and Huanlongmon's blessings, was enough to stop him!"
"Huh? Oh, yes. I'm killing you, Taichi. Please, forgive me for being so distracted."
"Well, go ahead and do it, if you can," Omega X challenged his adversary.
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:56 P.M.
"Ah-ha! I knew my dad had a plan all along!" Max happily laughed. "This is it! My dad's last attempt to make up for his goofs. He's ready to finish off this creep!"
"I would hope so, Max," Keke said.
"I know so! This is it! You can do it, dad! I know when everyone is right but this time they're wrong. Try to contradict me."
"I'm afraid you're wrong, Max," Dorothy replied to the boy.
"Humph! What makes you say that! Didn't you just hear what my dad just said!"
"I did. Do you remember when we all thought your father was killed by Bebimon?"
"Yeah, how could I forget? That was months ago."
"Right, he made us all believe that he had died, but he only disappeared to receive training to help us defeat Bebimon's wrath," Mystic Celesta answered.
"What are you trying to get at guys?" the boy asked.
"Another thing. Remember when I would always tell you how I sacrificed myself to prevent Virus from destroying the Earth and killing your Aunt Kari?" War Angemon spoke up.
"That's one of my favorite stories. I admired what you did for my Aunt Kari. It would definitely be something I'd do for Keke."
"Oh, Max…" Keke whispered.
"I don't get what all this has to do with the situation at hand."
"Just look ahead, Max," Sakuyamon said.
"You'll get the picture," replied Gallantmon.
"You'll understand what you're father's true motives are behind this new strategy of his," BW stated.
Quickly understanding what his friends are telling him, Max gasped in shock and looked over towards his father. He felt his heart stop for a minute and came to the realization of his father's true motives.
"No. He wouldn't…"
"Tai intends to do the same as he did when we all tried to stop Bebimon," Ultima X stated.
"He intends to do what I did for your Aunt Kari."
"Hell, he intends to do what I did to stop the D-Reaper to prevent it from destroying my loved ones," Metalla X replied.
"But in this case," Mystic Celesta managed to speak up. "There are no digicores involved since they are still tainted with negative energy. We can't use them until Azulongmon purifies them. There will be no way out of this for my brother. No comebacks. No fakes. Nothing."
"No. He can't do that! Father, please don't do this!" Max cried out.
Saitou's Lair. 7:56 P.M.
Both warriors stood their ground and sported healthy, auras of light. Saitou's Saint Light ki engulfed him while Omega X's own golden energy flared across his magnificent form. Caught in between their crossfire yards away was X. He was prepared to witnessing perhaps the demise one of these two powerful warriors.
"Tai! Please, don't do this! There has to be another way! Stop throw your own life for the sake of others! We need you! You're no good to us dead!"
(Theme ends)
Not even the Digital Universe's greatest defense spell was able to penetrate through Saitou's rare Saint Light ki. There is no weapon that can contain his radical power. Using up all of his own strength, Omega X is drawing out his friends' power by means of his own death as his only weapon left. Can he make such a sacrifice for the sake of his loved ones and defeat the Dark Angel? Will Taichi, for the first time in his life, finally meet death's doors and walk into the valley of the shadows?

(Preview)
Max: Father! You can't go through with this! Why throw your own life away when there are still a whole lot of things we could have done together! You won't watch me grow up and become a successful career guy one day. How do you think mom will take this!
Sora: Stupid Tai! Don't go through such a reckless ordeal! Your life hasn't even reached its peak! There has to be another way, Shintomon!
Shintomon: I'm afraid the only thing we can do is enter the cave and attack Saitou together!
Mystic Celesta/Kari: Prepare yourselves everyone, we're moving out to attack!
Ultima X/Davis: About time! Hang in there, Tai! We're on our way!
War Angemon/TK: Don't you go dying on us!
Gallantmon/Takato: We'll make sure you survive and send this rat bastard to hell!
Omega X/Tai: I appreciate the help, but I have to do this. Goodbye, everyone…
X: TAICHI! DON'T DO IT!
Neo: All of you together will still fail! There's no escape from my dimension!
Max: Then say hello to my little friend! JIGEN-TO!
Neo: He broke through my dimension! Finish him, Saitou-san!
Saitou: Well, Taichi. I hope you've found eternal peace.
Omega X: Bring it.
The Dark Angel flies out across with his hand coated with Saint Light ki and ready to swoop in for the kill. Everyone, from within the dimension, breaks free and calls out to their comrade to move away.
Rei: Taichi! Move out of the way!
Kaiser Greymon/Takuya: No, it couldn't be! Move, Tai!
Max: FATHER!
Mimi: That's all you need to know for know as our next chapter is entitled…
When the Moment Suddenly Freezes! The Death of Taichi Kamiya!
Sora: No, this can't be happening! Not like this… NOO!
Saitou: It has been done.
That's all she wrote for Chapter 17. This next one will hopefully be one of my best pieces of work. I want to make it as dramatic as I can, but how the heck am I going to top the other main characters' deaths on my series. Heck, it will be hard to top the one with Yusuke and Sensui anyway. Better make this one count since this is Tai's first death in the whole D-Fusion series. If anyone can suggest some good death music with lyrics, that would be so appreciative.
We're all drawing close to the one chapter that decides it all. I hope my chapters lately haven't been too long but I've been in the epic-mood lately. Anyway, be sure to check out the next chapter. It will be one NOT to miss. Until then, I bid you all farewell.

This is it, folks. The chapter you've all been waiting for since the beginning of the series. Will, I, have Taichi killed off? He's escaped death numerous of times at the last second while many others, such as TK, Matt and Sora have meet death's doors. Well, it's safe to assume that it maybe possible. Can Saitou succeed where every enemy before him have failed? There's only one way to find out and that's by reading this historic chapter. It is the turning point of the fourth season and we're down to the final eight chapters/episodes.

With innumerable dark digimon identified as Synisters, sufficient to destroy many worlds, lie in wait for the tunnel to be open, Omega X A.K.A. Taichi Kamiya has drawn Himo Saitou out to fight. However, Saitou, who was engulfed by the rare Saint Light ki, possessed an overwhelming level of power. X attempted to lay both himself and Saitou to rest with his Nexus Emerald, but it ended up a wasted effort before the sheer power of the Saint Light ki. The last line of defense has been dissipated.
Elsewhere, Yolei and the family retreated to the old Inoue home. Despite the happy reunion with her family, the possessor of Sincerity/Love was becoming suspicious of the recent increase of earthquakes. It has been realized that the battle between Omega X and Saitou was underground in the cavern tunnels. Yolei had decided it was time to leave before the city itself becomes a prime target for the ensuing battle ahead.
The International Digi-Destined has taken upon themselves to stand up against the increasing number of rogue digimon. They have been managing to hold their own, but little do they realize is that these threats are merely cannon fodder compared the possibility of the Synisters walking the human realm. The real hell is yet soon to come.
Omega X has taken up arms and has declared to continue his battle against the Dark Angel. However, there was going to be one thing the warrior will put on the line for the sake of his loved ones… his life. Will Taichi escape possible death like he has many times before or it this his time to meet his maker?

When the Moment Suddenly Freezes! The Death of Taichi Kamiya!
Saitou's Lair. 7:56 P.M.
Deep inside the cryptic, damp yet active cavern center, the wall ceilings were starting to come back Rocks and stalactites were dropping down while creating a ruckus across the once tranquil cavern. It was set to once again erupt into another war zone in the upcoming minute or so.
The tunnel was slowly coming apart by each passing minute, with the digimon behind it ready to be released. Those same monsters were anxiously waiting until their time would eventually come to roam about the human realm.
There was a standoff between teacher and apprentice across from the opening tunnel. X was standing across with a shocked glare after what he had just witnessed. The Nexus Emerald, bestowed upon him by the great Huanlongmon, was easily shattered by Saitou's rare Saint Light ki.
There wasn't a damn thing X could do to stop his ex-apprentice but fall to his knees. It was a failed attempt to get Saitou to call off his so-called crusade to implement vengeance on the human race. The former masked man slammed his fists on the ground angrily before trembling in shock. Even he couldn't believe that his trump card was easily disposed of by this extraordinary human.
"So, it all ends here… Goodbye everyone. If all of you have to perish, then allow me to join you."
Suddenly, X felt a hand pat his left shoulder. He wakes up from his sudden depression period and looks up to find Omega X standing over him with a determined glare.
"It's still too soon to give up, X."
"Tai! It's hopeless! Stop this!"
Omega X ignored his pleas and stepped across to face off against the Dark Angel for one last assault. He was prepared to make this heroic act count.
"You can't go through with this! Both your own world and the Digital Worlds need you to survive! You're their only hope! You won't be good to them dead!"
"…"
"Not even the Nexus emerald, which had been stored with half of my strongest ki energy and Huanlongmon's blessings, was enough to stop him!"
"Huh? Oh, yes. I'm killing you, Taichi. Please, forgive me for being so distracted."
"Well, go ahead and do it, if you can," Omega X challenged his adversary.
Inside Neo's Territory. 7:56 P.M.
Emotions were running high inside Neo's Uraotoko dimensional world. Everyone, besides Neo, was questioning the warrior's sudden motives. Max was quick to understand what his father was actually planning for as his next strategy. Max also wondered the scheme his father was actually plotting beforehand. Omega X seemed very confident judging by the smug look on his face.
"No way! My dad wouldn't leave it all up to us by ourselves!" Max calls out to the entire group. "My dad actually does have a plan in mind! Just you wait and see what he actually sets out to do! I never should have ever doubted dad!"
"Well, I've got to hand it to you, Max. You're dad is quite the planner," Keke replied.
"Yeah, it's pretty self explanatory if you ask me. Right, Takato?" Kaiser Greymon turns his attention to Crimson Gallantmon.
"Well…"
"Well, what? You're not actually doubting Tai's chances in this fight?" asked Ultima X. "Because he's always managed to escape out of tighter spots before!"
"Well, this time he just might not be very luck," War Angemon answered.
"So he doesn't stand a chance against this guy anymore? What about us? Won't he come after us when we're set free from this dimension?" Zephrymon asked.
"Yeah! If we go out there, we're dead meat!" Metal Kabuterimon panicked.
"What chance in hell do we have if Tai can't get the job done?" Cyberleomon whispered.
"I'll go down fighting if I have to," Pikkan growled.
"Max. Think back to what your dad did when we battled Bebimon," Mystic Celesta turns her attention to Max. "He took a real gamble by faking death in order to train with BW and the supreme guardians."
"That's right. I was there since I was helping your dad train," BW stated.
"Yeah. How could I forget that? Even he made me believe that he was actually gone…"
Switch to Flashback scene
Bebi-Metalla X held out his hands over his head while a massive, black sphere formed. This was the result of the worldwide negative energy being transmitted from each Tufflesurian-human.
"This one is especially for you, Taichi! This is for the sins of your human fathers! I shall avenge my face by destroying the strongest of the human race!"
"Bebimon! I wanted to give you a chance to redeem yourself, but you attacked my son! You took my family away. I'll never forgive you. You no longer pursue peace. Do you Bebimon? Answer me now!"
"Peace? Bah! That's mockery coming from a human! No, you have a debt to pay! Take this! Revenge Death Ball!"
With one loud cry, Bebi-Metalla X hurled the dark sphere down towards the fallen Omega X. The warrior could barely move a muscle from the abuse he had taken earlier on. His eyes started to fade with the sphere inching ever so closer.
"I won't give up! I will not give up! This is far from over, Bebimon!"
The sphere slammed into the ground and engulfed the area where Omega X once laid. A massive explosion took place and everything within the area was wiped out. The explosion cleared away and smoke covered the entire devastated landscape. Nothing was left but a large crater with fallen debris. There wasn't even a trace of Omega X. Max was found crawling through the rubble. Luckily, he had escaped the blast. He was fortunate not to be spotted by Bebimon yet.
"What an extraordinary power!" War Angemon commented.
"So, brother? Do you think you can actually come back from that?" Celesta X muttered.
"Oh yes! I've finally destroyed the strongest human! Taichi has fallen! There is no more opposition to ever stand in my way!" Bebi-Metalla X exclaimed with triumph. "The Tufflesurians have finally reclaimed their top positions!"
"What? My dad! No, he couldn't be gone…" Max said. "It can't be…"
The boy choked on tears underneath the pile of debris, which he was hiding in. He couldn't stand the fact that he has lost his own father to the maniac.
End of Flashback
Max stopped frozen and shook those thoughts out of his head. Yes, it was true that his father was actually saved at the last moment before Bebimon's Death Ball destroyed him. Tai would eventually return to aid his friends and help to defeat the power-hungry Tufflesurian. However, in this case scenario, there was simply no chance of Tai surviving death. It just may very well come at an unexpected moment.
The boy felt his heart stop beating for a moment and turns his attention back over through the Uraotoko eyes. Omega X was already back on his feet and ready to go another round with the Dark Angel. Max couldn't stand the thought of his own father meeting an eventual end. To Max, Tai was an unbeatable force who would always rise to the occasion and snuff out the 'evil villains'. This wasn't the case here. The 'villain' was prepared to snuff the 'hero' out of the game.
"No. He wouldn't…" Max managed to choke out.
"At his current power level, your dad cannot defeat Saitou," Mystic Celesta sighed with grief.
"What's more is that bastard possesses the Saint Light ki to his advantage," Metalla X answered.
"Even if he faced him prepared to die, he's still no match for him," BW stated promptly.
"Taichi is risking everything over our fury at his death," Dorothy revealed Tai's true motivations.
"No! That's insane! Even for Taichi!" Rei cried out.
"So, that's his motive?" Sakuyamon wondered. "But, why waste his life! Surely he has a plan."
"Yeah, he must have come up with a really awesome technique that'll throw Saitou off guard," Gallantmon played dumb. "Yeah. One surprise Terra Beam and it's over. Screw the Saint Light ki!"
"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Mega Gargomon spoke. "C'mon, Henry! Momentai! Tai's got a plan! Otherwise, he wouldn't be leaving us in suspense for the umpteenth time."
"Well, he had better get serious soon before it goes to waste," Beelzebumon scoffed. "He's even making me nervous and I'm not the type to do so."
"What do you think, guys?" Kaiser Greymon asked his fellow warriors.
"I don't know what he's planning," Magna Garurumon replied.
"Maybe he doesn't have a plan," Loweemon replied. "There are no other options. That Nexus Emerald was their last resort and that was easily destroyed by Saitou's sacred energy."
"You can't lose hope, Kouichi," Koriikakkumon told the dark of darkness. "Yeah. I mean we've managed to squeeze through the most unpredictable situations. I mean, we defeated Lucemon for crying out loud!"
"But, Saitou with his Saint Light ki is more powerful than Lucemon ever was," Zephrymon sighed. "In any case, I'll trust Tai's judgment."
"Man, this is bad, babe. Tai's in a tight spot," Ultima X said. "But, like Takuya and Takato, I'm not set to give up on him. Whatever decision he makes, I'll be here to support it."
"Even if he has to kill himself to do it? You heard what Dorothy just said," Sonja replied.
"I know. If it comes down to that, we'll rush in to prevent that from ever occurring. Tai's faced many impossible odds before. This will be no different."
Having heard enough from the opinions of his comrades, Max ran over across towards a Uraotoko eye and screamed towards his father to get his attention. He slammed his fists desperately as he attempted to break free from the dimension.
"NO! FATHER! C'MON, DAD! DON'T DO THIS!"
The boy started to choke up in tears and continued slamming his fists against the barrier like a prisoner waiting to be set free. Keke and Dorothy rushed over to calm the boy down.
"FATHER! STOP THIS!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:57 P.M.
Omega X was standing his ground with a determined look on his face. His face was dirty while covered with dirt, sweat and streaks of dry blood. Ignoring his son's pleas, he set his full attention solely on the Dark Angel. Rising to his feet, X attempted to grab his apprentice's arm.
"Tai! You crazy bastard! This won't accomplish anything!"
The warrior pushes X aside with an elbow shot. This sent X rolling across the dirt and holding his right side.
"Tai… Please, don't do this."
"I told you, I don't care if the tunnel to the Dark realm does open anymore, and those power hungry monsters do come through. The whole world is most likely screwed. All I want…"
With that said, Omega X points directly towards Saitou and finally let everyone know that his fight with him was far from finished. A smirk crossed the Dark Angel's face.
"…is to settle the score with him! By accomplishing this, I'll know who the loser of this fight will be!"
Finally giving out, X dropped to the ground and let out a deep sigh. The two warriors faced each other off for another round, perhaps even their final one. This one will determine the fate of the human world and the Digital Worlds. There was no way out for either man.
Dark Angel's eyes were locked directly with Omega X's. The warrior of courage was slowly making his trek towards Saitou.
"So, you are asking me to take your life, Taichi Kamiya?"
"Yeah. What's the matter? Hurry it up. Do it with some style. With your strength, it will only take you a moment. I don't want some poor half-assed job. You can get this done quickly."
"…"
Inside Neo's Dimension. 7:57 P.M.
Being restrained by both Keke and Dorothy, Max was crying out for his father. His fists slammed against the barrier in hopes of shatter Neo's dimension in setting them all free to battle Saitou.
"Father! Can you even hear me anymore? I know you can hear me! Come on! I… Don't do this! Think about what you're planning to do! Remember that whole ordeal with Bebimon! You've faked death in order for us to grief over your alleged death and battle Bebimon until you returned! Each of us has gotten better since then! Even myself… So, c'mon! Don't go through with this! Don't throw it all away!"
Everyone else within the dimension looked on with a mixed emotions. Some angry, some frightened, others feeling for the boy's grief and a few determined. Mystic Celesta once again spoke up for the whole team.
"Max-kun… This is the breaking point."
"Perhaps this will make Max even stronger through an traumatizing event," War Angemon whispered.
"Dad! You don't have to do this! I won't let you do this! This is a stupid, crazy stunt on your part! It's because of you that I… It's because of you that I… FATHER!"
(Play Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever)
The boy immediately started having flashbacks to the most important events in his life. Many involved himself and his father. It all traces back to the day Max was born. He remembered that day he gazed into the faces of both his mother and father.
"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya. It's a boy."
Switch to Flashback
Once the doctor made his announcement to the Kamiya couple, loud cries from a baby were heard screeching within a confined hospital room. The doctor held around his arms a healthy, baby male. The baby cried out even more as it started moving its legs and arms.
"Doctor. Please if you'll let me. I want to see my child now."
"Of course, Mrs. Kamiya. This one is quite the healthy one."
The doctor handed the baby over to a red-orange haired woman in her mid to late twenties. The skin of the young woman was rather delicate yet slightly tanned. Her attire consisted of the casual hospital patient outfit. She held the tiny child around her arms and cradled him.
"Isn't he just a beautiful sight to behold, Tai?" the woman asked her husband.
"As beautiful as life itself," a male's voice replied. "Sora, he's simply the most precious child I've laid my eyes on."
"We should give him a name. Have you though of any good names?"
"Well… Eh, I spent nearly all last night thinking of some of the best names. None of them really satisfied me."
"Well, whatever you want, it won't matter to me. He will still be our son."
"In that case, I was fiddling around with the name Max lately."
"Max? As in Maxwell or Maxamillion?"
"Nah, I was actually thinking just Max."
"What made you think of such a nice name?"
"Well, I've known a good friend named Max back before I met you. He and I used to hang out together after school. Unfortunately, he died of a fatal disease. I'll miss him dearly."
"This was before you met me? We clearly met as grade school children."
"He died a year before I eventually met you and we became the best of friends. I was in grief without many friends since then. Then, you came along."
"I felt sorry for you since nobody was even around you. I didn't have many friends either once I moved into your school. Eventually, you would go on to become a pretty popular guy and a soccer ace to boot."
"We became quite the team on our soccer team, didn't we?"
"I'd laugh every time you'd make a complete fool of yourself. Sometimes I even wondered if you were doing those stupid pranks just to impress me."
With a slight chuckle, Tai shrugged his shoulders and sheepishly grins.
"Ah-ha! So, that's it, Taichi Kamiya! You were trying to impress me. I knew you were doing so."
Suddenly, the baby started to awake and slowly open his eyes. Tai looks down and notices one thing that he would forever cherish. It was the moment Max's tiny hand tightly clasped around Tai's right pinky. The young man felt his heart beating continuously. He scooped Max up in his arms and cradled the baby boy.
"You're going to be a big boy like your daddy, aren't ya? Aren't ya? Ahh."
"giggle Stupid Tai…"
"From this day forward, your name is going to be Max."
With that said, Tai held Max over his head and cooed him playfully. The baby started giggling happily. This was a day both Tai and Sora would cherish forever. It would be a few months since the D-Reaper's defeat when Max would eventually become born. Years would eventually pass and Max would actually mature quite quickly than any normal baby.
It was due to the fact that the boy inherited the data genes of Tai's DNA, since he and Agumon merged to become Omega X. That DNA and data merged within Max's structure and he became a hybrid. Half human and half data life form. This granted him inhumane abilities including the flight technique, ki energy, super strength and super speed. However, even Max was unable to perfect these in such a short time.
"Father. I also can't forget the day you and Agumon were teaching me how to control my ki energy. It was one of the most difficult experiences in my life."
Three-year-old Max found himself standing out in the middle of a meadow. He was bending down while powering up his ki energy. The aura around his body was flaring up intensely.
"Good, Max! That's great! Now keep it up! Raise it higher!" Tai encouraged the boy.
"I will, dad! AHHH!"
With one final push, Max let out a powerful aura flare and quickly sits down on the ground. He was heavily panting and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Wow, that was intense, Tai!" Agumon commented on the boy's 'never say die' attitude. "Your boy has managed to increase his ki higher than we were when we fought Matt and Metal Garurumon."
"It's amazing, but I'm not all surprised. Max is growing up quicker than most kids his age. His IQ is impressive. Only some of the other Digi-Destined second generation has been able to match Max now. Dimitri is only a year older and is slightly stronger than Max now. But, I have a feeling my son will surpass Matt's boy."
"You think Max will eventually become as strong as Omega X?"
"If he keeps it up, then I'd say yes. Never doubt the pride of a Kamiya. My sister eventually surpassed me."
"That's true. Now she's managed to become an important asset to the team. Imagine how the next generation will be if a future threat ever threatened either the real or digital worlds."
"I'm not doubting the kids' chances. When our time as heroes passes, these kids will have to one day pick up the slack. But that doesn't mean that they would give up their normal lives. They're just kids and need to have fun too. Life is too short to worry over anything. You only live once."
"Hey, dad!" Max's voice calls out from the background.
"What's up, son?"
"You think you and Agumon can teach me the flight technique?"
"Right now?"
"Yeah. I mean Dimitri already has experience with it. I think it would be right if I learned it."
"Sure, just give me a minute!"
"All right, dad!"
"You even said we all only live once. Now, here you are preparing to throw your own life away? The digicores are not even functional and if you die… There'll be no way of bringing you back. Wait, what about the black digicores? No, that's too much of a gamble. We can't afford detonating our own planet and searching the entire Digital Universe searching for them. Dad, please… Don't do this. We've been through so much together. I can also remember the time I was introduced to Keke."
During a dinner party reunion with the Digi-Destined, Tai and Sora were chatting away with some of their old friends. Even the Tamers were there to visit the Kamiya couple.
Max was sitting down on a chair with a blue t-shirt, a pair of brown shorts, a pair of goggles on his head and black sneakers. He looks across to find a cute, beautiful little girl walking around the party room. Her hair was done in pigtails. The hair was a mix of blonde with orange tints. The girl's eyes were as beautiful as the heavenly blue skies. Her attire consisted of a pink dress, with a white shirt underneath and a pair of white dancing shoes. The boy's mouth became as dry as cotton as the girl slowly approached him.
"Hello there," the girl managed to squeak. "Nice party our parents threw, huh?"
"You could say that. I hear your parents are some of my mom and dad's old friends. Matt and Mimi, right?"
"Yes, that's right. They haven't seen each other for a little while," the girl answered. "You've got quite a nice house here. Though my mom and dad are pretty wealthy to own a mansion."
"Whoa, you guys own a mansion!"
"No. I would rather want to live in a nice home than a mansion. I don't want people to think we're a bunch of snobs."
"I see."
"By the way, my name is Kyoko Ishida, or you can just call me 'Keke' for short. What about you?"
"Ma… Max. Max Kamiya. Nice to meet you, Keke," Max replied.
As the children continued to converse, Tai and Sora took notice of their boy sitting next to Keke. A slight giggle was heard from Mrs. Kamiya as she set her drink down.
"You know, Tai. Those two just look so cute together. Don't they?" Sora whispered to her husband.
"Erm?"
Tai turned around with his mouth stuffed with bread and he looks across naively at his son. Once he gulped down the bread, he cleared his throat.
"Yeah, they do. Ahh, man. Look at Max. He's going to become a real man when he grows up. Just like me," Tai snickered.
"Hey, Tai! Just what the heck are you two talking about?" Matt approached the couple. "If it's another one of your hair brain schemes of yours Tai, then I don't want to hear it."
"It's nothing like that, man."
"Uh huh," Matt shrugged his shoulders. "Well, looks like your boy is already becoming chummy with my little girl."
"Yeah, don't they just look so adorable together?" Sora smiled.
"Huh? What's going on here?" Mimi asked as she approached the trio. "Oh, what do we have here?"
Mimi quickly spotted her daughter happily sharing a laugh with Max. A warm smile crept across the woman's face. This is exactly what she wanted for her daughter.
"That is so sweet," Mimi chuckled. "This is why we decided to come to the party. I wanted to see if Keke would get along with people of her opposite sex. She's usually very shy with other boys, but she's already sharing a laugh with Max. Your boy has quite the charm, Tai. Sora."
"That's our boy. He's just so full of surprises," Tai replied.
Suddenly, a slightly older blonde-haired boy came waling to where Max and Keke were sitting. Keke took notice of the other kid and acknowledged him.
"Oh, hi there Dimitri."
"Hey, sis. So, this is the Max I've been hearing about? He's shorter than I am."
"No, duh. He's a year younger than you are. Me and him are the same age."
"Hmmm. Well, he doesn't seem as bad as the other guys who picked on you, Keke. Max, I'm sure you won't ever hurt Keke or her feelings, right?"
"Of course not. I'm not like that."
"That's good to know. I'm sure I can trust a guy like you. So, what do you say? Are we friends or not?"
Dimitri extended his hand out to the young Kamiya boy. Looking down at the older boy's hand, Max took his hand and gives him a tight grip.
"I hear you're pretty strong your age, Max."
"Same goes with you. Am I right?"
"I guess your parents have told you everything there is to know about me. What do you say we spar sometime?"
"I'd be happy to."
Standing in between the two boys, Keke was smiling and happy to know the two boys would settle any differences. Since then, Max has kept his word on protecting Keke and living up to his promise. Dimitri was proud to have gotten to know Max and accepted him as his best sparring partner.
"It was because of that party you threw that I eventually meet Keke and her brother. We became the best of friends. Also, how can I forget the time you turned into a beast during your battle with Bebimon. Nobody could talk any sense into you, except me of course… Only I was able to reach out to the true you…"
The Omega X beast finds a nearby mountain and lands right on top of a steep. He closed his wings and took a moment to rest off his exhausted energy. He lifts his head and glared up at a moon-like structure in the skies. He peers through and realized that he was looking towards the planet Earth. Omega X sat up and reaches out for the magnificent blue planet.
Meanwhile, Max found his father from a far distance and noticed the beast reaching out for the planet.
"Dad!"
The boy stops, as he got closer towards his father.
"Dad. The Earth is not too far off from this planet. That's right. That's the same planet we cherish. The same goes for the Digital World."
Omega X continues to reach towards the earth, despite being too far off away from Planet Plant. Max stops right in front of Omega X. The son looks right up into the demonic eyes of his newly transformed father. Unlike many others, Max was showing no fear. Omega X could easily sense that the boy was not displaying any fear. He breathed heavily to get a scent to recognize the boy.
"Dad, don't you recognize me? It's me. I'm Max. You're only son."
Omega X bobbed his head slowly as he took another closer look at Max. Max stood still to in order to get on his father's good side. Slowly, but surely, Omega X was starting to come through and gasps at what he has done.
"Dad?"
Omega X pointed a finger over to Max as Max reached over. The boy lets out a few tears as they dropped at the tip of Omega X's finger. The monster was now starting to get the idea of the emotion he was getting from his son. His memories were now coming right back to him. Images of his son's birth were the most memorable for him. He remembered how happy he and Sora were to become proud parents.
"Dad. I will always be your son. I will always love you and mother. Please come back to us."
With those words alone, Omega X finally came through. With that sudden instant, his body started to glow with a golden aura. His massive size was slowly shrinking down. Max flew back to witness his father's evolution.
"You can do it, dad. I knew you would have come through!"
His body was shrinking down to the size of a normal human being. His eyes were becoming human-like and normal limbs replaced his massive claws. His monstrous tail was gone and his wings shrunk down to his back. His skin was pretty much the same. Max gasped at the new evolution of his father. This was the true evolved form. Omega X now had reptilian-like skin; his eyes were yellow with black oval-like shaped irises. His hands still had claws. A pair of yellow pants covered his body along with black boots. His head has black, spiky hair and a small tail wriggled around from behind his back. The muscles on his body were enlarged, which gave him a perfect physique. The wings on his back were gone as a result of his evolution. Streaks of lighting jolted through his form and gave him a more powerful look.
"Dad! Is this your true evolved form? Will you be able to defeat Bebimon like this? Lets hope so."
Omega X looks up towards Max with a will of determination. He clenched his fists and powers up. A powerful ki wave blasted the mountains effortlessly and left a large dent into the ground.
"Max. Thanks, son. Thank you for getting through to me. Now I think it's time to show Bebimon what I'm truly capable of."
"Since this is your newly evolved form, what should I call you?"
Omega X smirked at the question, which his son has asked. He replied with his trademark grin.
"I'll call this Super Omega X4. My final evolution and the death of Bebimon."
"It was thanks in part to your determination and my cries that you eventually reached your fourth stage of Digital Fusion. Simply put, you were awesome and laid the smack down on Bebimon. You dominated him until he eventually became a beast himself to even the odds. In the end, with our help, you sent Bebimon packing and destroyed the last of the Tufflesurians. You even risked your own life battling some of the seven monster simply to save him. For that, I am thankful you are my father. You're the greatest digital warrior both worlds had the privilege of knowing. Now I can grow up and be proud to say that my dad is a hero. My dad can't be beaten. He would net let anything kill him. But, now? What about now? You're going to throw your own life away just to grief over your death, become angry and increase our powers? No! I refuse to believe that you can die! You're Taichi Kamiya! You can do anything if you put your mind to it! ANYTHING! "
End of Flashbacks
Once looking back to those memorable moments, tears started to swell up in Max's eyes. He cried heavily and let out all of his emotions without regrets. Keke cooed Max quietly while patting his back. He threw his head up and released an array of tears across the dimension.
"You always get to be the hero, father! Please, for once, let me be the one that saves your life! Please!"
Everyone else in the room, except Neo, lowered their heads down while starting to feel sympathy for the angsty Kamiya child. Max lowered his head with tears dripping down on the ground. He chanted a little prayer before coming back to reality.
"No… Why! Dad!"
"Don't you worry Max. We'll find a way out of here. That I can promise and we can save your dad," Keke thought. "Now if only that damn Neo can open up his dimension to set us free!"
The girl locked her eyes directly to Neo Saiba and growled. If there was anything she hated more, it was the sight of an individual displaying no sympathy for a loved one preparing to meet his end. Of course, this was Neo Saiba we're talking about. He has craved nothing more than to see the demise of Taichi Kamiya in another time and space.
"The time has finally come, Saitou-san. Finish him off before that tunnel opens up. We're getting closer to what we've worked hard to achieve. Soon, the warrior of courage shall fall. I hope you've said your last prayers, Taichi."
Outskirts from Tokyo. Miles Away from Mt. Fuji. 7:57 P.M.
Just off the outskirts of the entire Tokyo city district, a retired couple was seen stopped miles away from the infamous Mt. Fuji. They looked rather familiar and they should be. One was an older women with short, brown-hair similar to Kari's old hair style and light skin. The other was an older man with slightly combed hair with tints of gray in it. These were Tai and Kari's parents: Susumu Kamiya, the father, and Yuuko Kamiya, the mother. They stood by with an old 2005 red Mustang convertible.
The older man looked down at his watch and let out a sigh.
"Just what we needed. We have a bunch of monsters once again rampaging our home city and now our car breaks down. This just isn't what I needed."
"Honey, I do hope my Tai and Kari are doing fine."
"Knowing our kids, they probably have their digimon friends with them. Don't worry. They're in good hands since they've stopped that Virus monster."
"Yes, that's true. They've managed to take care of themselves at quite the young age. Since becoming fused warriors, we've always had to depend on them to protect all of us. Something which this planet's own military power has failed to accomplish against these monsters."
Taking her necklace, Yuuko opened it to reveal a childhood picture of Tai and Kari. It was taken a day before Tai left to go to summer camp. The same Tai who always sports the goofy, trademark grin and the same boy who would sport the infamous goggles on his head. A tear shed across the woman's face as she realized how much her children have grown. She was proud to have been their loving mother, now she's even happier being the grandmother of her kids' children, despite still being in her mid-to late forties. Max, Tike, and Kara were all precious to her and Susumu.
"Everything will be just fine, honey. That I can promise you. They'll take care of themselves. It's us that have to evacuate. C'mon, as soon as I get this thing started again, we can find ourselves a motel to rest for the night until all of this boils over."
"Yes… You're right. Sorry for worrying."
Once again looking out towards the horizon, Yuuko watched as the smoke from the city started to die down. Perhaps, this was an indication that the monster threats were dying down. That still didn't help Yuuko stop worrying for her two children. If she had lost them, she wouldn't go on living with herself.
Little does the poor woman realize that one of those two, or perhaps even both, will perish at the hands of a crazed madman possessing a power similar to God's messenger.
"Taichi… Hikari… Please come out alive."
Eastern Odaiba District. 7:57 P.M.
Once alarming her friends and family about the possibility of the city being destroyed, they quickly had evacuated the Ai-Mart. But that still didn't stop Tike and Kara for nearly raiding the entire market and stuffing themselves with every food consumption possible.
"Yolei! Are you even positive those guys are fighting underneath this city? That explains those earthquakes!" Mantarou scoffed.
"Well, they didn't tell me that they'd be fighting under this city. At least you can thank these two for sensing their energy," Yolei pointed down to Wormmon and Hawkmon.
"It's best we cut the chit chat to a minimum and escape," Hawkmon nodded. "There's no telling when this city will go off in smoke."
""Yolei. I must say. You really do have a group of crazy friends," Chizuru sighed. "I mean what if one of them goes off and wastes this whole planet?"
"It won't come down to that," the purple-haired young woman assured her older sister. "At least, I hope don't they go overboard."
"We're ready. We'll take two vehicles since not everyone of us will fit into Mantarou's van," Momoe replied. "Yolei. You'll have to come with me and my husband in our car."
"But Ken's in the van with the others."
"Don't worry. We'll follow them out wherever they go. Besides, Sam and Naomi will be with their father."
"You're right," Yolei sighed while carrying Shinobu in her arms. "Wormmon, you take the van. Watch Ken and the kids, ok?"
"I will. You leave them with me."
"Oh and one more thing."
"Erm?"
Yolei bends over to whisper quietly into Wormmon's ear.
"Make sure Tike and Kara are well behaved. I'm sure TK and Kari will have a heart attack knowing their kids will get fat from all those sweets," Yolei snickered. "Ok? You're responsible, Wormmon."
"Oh boy…"
"All right, everyone! Load them out!" Yolei calls out to the two vehicle party groups.
This sudden outburst simply made Hawkmon embarrassed as an anime sweat drop slid across his forehead.
"Oh, Yolei. You haven't changed one bit, my dear."
? Center of the Four Digital World Domains ?
Meanwhile, deep within the royal chambers of the great sovereign himself, all eyes were cast on the battle taking place through the viewing orb. Huanlongmon found it impossible to believe that a human could harness the Saint Light ki, the most rare ki energy that not even the purest of God digimon can harness.
"My gosh. I never thought I'd see the Nexus emerald shattered so easily, Huanlongmon-sama," Keke gasped.
"If he can do that, then X and Tai are screwed," Sam sighed. "They have nothing else left that can stop that maniac."
"To think, a human with powers similar to our own can make even the great Huanlongmon sweat," Tike commented.
Delivering an elbow shot to the kid's gut, Kara gives him a nod.
"You don't want to go pissing off the great Huanlongmon with that comment. Remember who gave us life with these new bodies," Kara whispered.
"For once I will have to agree with Tike," the great sovereign's voice boomed. "This human is simply a force to be reckoned with. Even myself, the Great Holy Beast, tremble at the sight of this power. My brethren will eventually fall since they don't have the power to dispel the Saint Light ki. Even the tyrannical Lucemon pales in comparison to this great darkness. Even at the greatest of his strength, Lucemon could only ever reach a mid-to high A-Class. This human is already at the Upper-S class with the sacred ki."
"You're kidding me!" Keke gasped out.
"Afraid not," another voice calls out from behind the doors.
"Ah, my great assistant. Any news on the Digimon Special Task Force?"
Walking inside the royal chambers is medium-sized built man. He was wearing what looked like a black muscle shirt, a pair of Adias jogging pants, and pair of tennis shoes. He has a near fade haircut and a pair of black shades. He looks across at the viewing orb and quirks an infamous eyebrow, similar to the infamous WWE's The Rock character.
"I take it you know when the Special Task Force are coming in?" Keke asked Huanlongmon's assistant.
"Honey, just call me Duane."
"All right, Duane. So when are they coming in?"
"They're on standby. Huanlongmon-sama, they are ready whenever you are ready to deploy them."
"Thank you. We will need them just in case the situation grows dire. We will give the warrior of courage one last chance. If he fails, then we shall send the Digital World Special Defense Force unit to close the tunnel."
"Hopefully, we won't be needing them. C'mon, X. Tai. You two can pull through with this," Keke whispered to herself.
All eyes were turned back to the viewing orb as the two warriors were facing off once again.
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Domain
Azulongmon panted heavily with the loss of his most four valuable digicores. They not only bestow him infinite power but stabilize his life force. It would only be a matter of time before he loses his power and become prey for the approaching Synisters.
Gennai lowered his head, while knowing Omega X has little strength left to fend off Saitou's assault. The Saint Light ki has proven to be the most powerful ki the Digital Universe has ever witnessed. It was so powerful that it so easily disintegrated the Nexus emerald.
"Damn! They were so close!" Gennai cursed. "That Nexus Emerald would have sealed that human inside that tunnel!"
"It wouldn't have made a big difference, Gennai. The Saint Light ki is a power we Holy Beasts will never hope to challenge. Huanlongmon learned the hard way and I know it's eating him inside."
"This is bad. Even Huanlongmon is scared of his power?"
"Even Shintomon, who wields a higher authority than the great Huanlongmon, trembles. There is no power that can challenge this human. Not even the Warrior of Courage. The Digi-Destined, Tamers and Legendary Warriors together cannot defeat this human."
"Yes, but our last hopes lie in Taichi. Only he has the power to take the challenge to Saitou. C'mon, Tai! You can pull through! Don't waste your life and let Saitou have his way! There are only a few minutes before it's all said and done."
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:57 P.M.
Outside the cavern where the historic battle was taking place, the party groups witnessed the turn of events occur. Saitou has turned the entire fight around to his favor. Shintomon, Buddamon, Lady Moinanea and Gosenzomon looked on with shock, not because Saitou was dominating the battle. It was due to the fact that he's managed to reveal the Saint Light ki.
"I… I didn't think this human would possess the rare Saint Light ki!" Shintomon exclaimed. "Gosenzomon, you're familiar with this form of ki, correct?"
"Yes and it's a trait I've never seen perfected since a warrior I became familiar with before being sealed in the Omega Sword."
"Wait! You've seen another warrior bearing this ki!" Izzy asked. "Prodigious! Do tell!"
"The warrior from what I can recall was a pure-hearted hero but his ki was not as strong as this human's. All I can remember was that this warrior had unbelievable strength and could probably have given Omega X level four a run for his money. Unfortunately, he met a sad end after he increasing his Saint Light to a maximum. It caused him to implode. Since that event, I would eventually be trapped inside the Omega Sword."
"That's sad," Jeri said.
"Another warrior had this great ki?" Lopmon wondered. "Imagine if he were still around today."
"I can't imagine it. It's a shame he perished. He would have made a valuable asset to this day," Gosenzomon sighed.
Sora stared across at the screen and noticed a confident grin across her husband's face. This was the same trademark smirk he would give during the heat of a battle. However, there was something else behind this confident smirk.
"What is it, Sora?" Mimi asked.
"That smirk. I know that smirk too well. Tai has a plan, but what… I have no idea."
"He doesn't have a plan," Gosenzomon sighed. "He's dead set on giving up his life for the sake of his loved ones."
"WHAT!" everyone, except the elder, exclaimed in unison.
"No, you're only jerking our chain, right?" Kazu asked.
"Tai can't die! He's like freaking invincible!" Kenta replied.
"If he were a god, then I'd be living under his shadow," Guardromon nodded.
"Pi! Pi!" agreed Marine Angemon.
"Sora. I know exactly how you feel," Lady Moinanea said while nodding to the redhead. "I don't wish for this to happen to Taichi."
"I'd hate to say it, ladies, but there's nothing even you can do to stop Taichi from carrying out this course of action. This is a fight we must not interfere with," Buddamon replied.
"No! You even said yourself I can inject myself into this battle if the situation grows worse," Shintomon directed his attention to Gosenzomon.
"Not just yet… Give it a little more time."
"Time is not exactly we have, old man!" Dimitri retorted.
"Our best friend is in there about to give his life away if he has to!" Cody growled. "Shintomon has every right to intervene!"
"Just a moment, I'll tell you when the time is right…"
"Old man. I hope you know what you are doing. If Shintomon goes, then I'm sure as hell going," thought Sora. "Stupid, Tai. Can you just imagine how Max must be feeling! Haven't you even considered how Max will take this!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:57 P.M.
Back within the cryptic caverns, the face off between the two warriors was near its end. Only three minutes remained until the boundary tunnel to Dark Realm actually opens up. Omega X remained steady as he sported his trademark grin on his face. His first part of his current strategy was to get Saitou riled up and taunt the Dark Angel.
"Come on! Why don't you hurry up and do it? I'm not scared of death if it comes down to it."
Just as Saitou was preparing to make a move, there was a bit of hesitation that was holding the Dark Angel back. Why was he suddenly holding back? This was his opportunity to be done with Taichi and continue on with his operation. The tunnel was near its completion. His dream was coming true. He has Omega X right where he wants him. He felt his hands tremble with delight but at the same time, anxiety.
"What do I do? Why am I suddenly hesitating? I know he can't stop me. This is what I've been waiting for. I'm certain Taichi doesn't have the strength or ki to stop me now. This is judgment!"
Saitou looks down at his hands and tightens them. He brings his gripped right fist and slams it against his left palm. Clouded thoughts were running through the Dark Angel's mind as he had second thoughts.
"But still… Why am I so uncertain? Why am I hesitating?"
Inside Neo's Dimension. 7:57 P.M.
The elder Saiba looks back directly through the Uraotoko's eyes and cast his eyes on the hesitant Saitou. He was already growing impatient as it is.
"C'mon, Saitou-san! Finish him off! Why don't you finish this already!"
"Hey, you!" Metalla X's voice calls out to Neo. "Yeah, you! Let us out of here, right now!"
"Do it or you'll lose your ability to breathe!" Pikkan demanded.
"Now, you guys are talking my style!" Beelzebumon cocked his double barrels.
"About time we took some action!" shouted Metal Kabuterimon.
"What do you say, babe?" Ultima X asked as he unsheathed his blade.
"Anything is better than sitting our asses here doing nothing," Sonja replied while tying up her hair.
"Now this is more like it!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"I'm ready to go whenever you guys are," stated Gallantmon.
"If we're going to die, then let us die in war," War Angemon said.
"If I'm going to die, I'm going to die fighting against that bastard," Metalla X growled.
"Huh! But, how!" Max calls out to the entire group. "We can't even escape out of here! We tried everything!"
Mystic Celesta unsheathes her sword and points it directly towards the dimensional wall. Dorothy sits up and powers up a healthy aura. The other legendary warriors and Tamers were getting ready.
"Don't worry, Max. We're going to break out of here. It never hurts to try again," Keke assured the Kamiya boy.
"Neo! Listen up! The twenty-two of us will join Taichi in battle! That makes it twenty-three against one," Mystic Celesta announced. "We'll use every tactic we have!"
"Besides, we couldn't stand one of us twenty-three missing," Dorothy stated.
"You can sure count us in!" Max and Keke replied in unison to Mystic Celesta's proposal.
"It would seem circumstances have brought us to this point," Sakuyamon replied.
"You know. I think torture would be enough to suffice to make this Neo bastard change his mind," BW darkly threatened the elder Saiba.
"Wait, you guys. I'm sure I can talk my brother into releasing us," Rei suggested.
"It's too late for that," Cyberleomon stated. "He won't listen to our requests."
"If he doesn't comply, I'll break one of his scrawny little limbs," Metalla X replied while popping his knuckles.
With that said, all eyes were locked directly onto Neo. The elder Saiba found himself surrounded by the Digital Universe's strongest and most intimidating warriors. No human or being in their right mind would refuse to turn down their request, including during a situation this dire. However, Neo wasn't about to become intimidated and smiled in defiance towards their threatening gestures.
"Ha. No way. All of you would still fail."
"What was that, you cocky son of a bitch!" Beelzebumon roared.
Everyone within the dimension gasped out in shock towards the reply Neo had given them. Has Neo lost it? Doesn't he realize he had just turned down the chance to release the Digital universe's most powerful warriors! He might as well written his own death warrant because these warriors won't hesitate to beat him to a bloody pulp.
"What! You're lying!" Keke exclaimed.
"I know! It's twenty-three on one! Even Saitou can't take us all on at once!" Max agreed.
"Even if you twenty-three were to join forces, it's unlikely you could beat Saitou-san."
"You rat bastard!" Gallantmon growled as he attempted to charge out.
However, Mystic Celesta was there to put a quick stop to Gallantmon by putting an arm out. This caused the angry crimson knight to stop at his tracks.
"If the twenty-three of us couldn't defeat him, even teamed up then what does it matter?" the angelic warrior asked.
"You had better give us a straight answer, kid," War Angemon threatened him.
"Don't worry. You leave me with him and I'll beat the truth out of him," Ultima X growled.
"No, if you joined forces, you might be able to run out of the caverns and escape," Neo answered despite being confronted with pissed off glares that could kill a Digital God.
"Us run away!" BW exclaimed.
"You would carry off Taichi, without any of his power remaining, and run away, blocking Himo's attacks."
"You've lost it! We don't run!" Pikkan cried out in defiance.
"We're not cowards!" Max growled.
"No you're not. I don't underestimate your powers, warriors," Neo continued on. "But, Max. I would ask your more strategic friends if I were you. I do believe half of you are already close to the mid S-Class power levels. Yamato, Hikari, Daisuke, Takeru, Takato and Dorothy. You guys are getting closer to even reaching Taichi's current power. Legendary warriors. I do believe you unified as Susanoomon will be mid-S class like the six I've just mentioned. BW, Pikkan, and Cyberleomon. You're strong A-class warriors. I commend you for even making it this far."
"Ok, so are you putting us into classification systems now?" Kaiser Greymon asked.
"Like we're some kind of cattle waiting to be butchered," Metal Kabuterimon remarked.
"In fact, Hikari. Had you continued your training, you would have been able to challenge Himo's power today," Neo announced. "You would have been the second human to achieve the Saint Light ki, but alas you gave up the chance to rise to glory for the sake of your loved ones."
This immediately caught Mystic Celesta's attention. She had remembered how much power she had eventually gained over her battle with Virus and her Mystic power-up before her showdown with the D-Reaper. Since then, she gave up combat to finish her studies and raise two children with Takeru. She could have gotten much stronger. She gave up the chance to ascend past her brother.
"Don't let that bother you, Kari," War Angemon said.
"Yeah, you're still stronger than the two of us," Ultima X said as he mentioned himself and War Angemon.
"I can say the same for you, Takato Matsuda," Neo spoke. "Like Hikari, you used the remaining years to relax. Had you and Guilmon continued ascending, you would have been a great candidate to challenge Saitou-san."
"I can still challenge him anytime he wishes!" Gallantmon replied.
"Ha, but your current power level is nowhere near that of the Dark Angel. You'd be crushed in minutes."
"Don't mock me, you bastard."
"On the other hand, if I let you guys out, then there's a great chance each of your current powers will increase greatly. You will all be stronger than you were before. By escaping, you can easily destroy the first wave of dark digimon. Then, escape as fast as you can. Saitou will be hot on your trail and throwing you attacks that you will be unable to avoid. You will all die, one at a time."
"Damn he must be reading our thoughts, because that's exactly what I had in mind," Metalla X thought.
"You're quite clever, Neo," Sonja said. "But you've guessed wrong."
"Don't try to use your bluffs against me. I know how the human mind works, even for a half android like yourself. Just stand here and do the only thing you can: watch Taichi die."
"No!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
"You're a soulless freak!" retorted Max.
"Brother! Is that how much you want to rid yourself of Taichi!" Rei asked.
"Only a heartless bastard would even think of sick like that!" growled Kaiser Greymon.
"Hey, Max! There's something I've been meaning to mention now!" Rei had remembered an idea she had.
"Sorry, Rei, but now isn't the time for that. But if you've got something to say, then say it."
"Listen up. Do you remember when I had your family and friends trapped inside my ice creature within my territory?" Rei asked. "You cut through that territory with your Jigen-to. That wasn't even supposed to happen since it was in another dimension."
"Oh yeah! That's right! This dimension is no different!"
"I didn't think you were capable of pulling off such a feat, but you did, Max," Rei said. "That was the power to cut through alternate dimensions of space. You got out of that dimension easily. Saitou-san and the others captured you, in order to break down the subspace barrier that locks the doorway to the Dark Realm."
"You think?"
Rei kneeled over to the boy and started to encourage him to release his hidden power.
"If you could just release that power, you should be able to cut through any dimension."
"But, I…"
"I know you can do it, Max," Keke cut in. "We believe in you. Do us a favor and slice through this dimension! I'm already sick of this place as it is."
"I can't argue there," Max nodded. "Ok, you two have convinced me enough."
"Just tap into it, Max."
With a nod, Max sits up and holds his hands out in front of him. He concentrated on ki and channeled through to reform the Jigen-to blade.
"You guys should have said so earlier."
"Look! He's attempting to form that dimensional blade!" Ultima X calls out to everyone.
"C'mon, Max! You can do it!" War Angemon encouraged the boy.
"We believe you can do it again!" Mystic Celesta pleaded.
"This overwhelming ki is coming from Tai's kid! Man, what power!" Pikkan thought.
Once concentrating on enough energy, Max felt his power jolt and push him right back with extreme force. He lands on the surface and grips his shoulder. Keke rushes over to the boy's side.
"Max! Are you all right? You can give it another try."
"Yeah… Ow, my arm."
"So, it's no good, huh?" Metalla X scoffed. "Damn. What now?"
"He still can't control it on his own," BW answered.
"Grr! C'mon! I know you're in there somewhere, power! Come on out!" Max panicked as he spoke to his hands. "Let it all out! This isn't the time to bail on me when I need you the most!"
"If you could freely control your Jigen-to blade, then we would have had you cut through the barrier a long time ago," Neo said. "We wouldn't have forced Sigma to swallow you if you cooperated. You can't summon the technique at will."
"Damn it! Come out, sword! Come out! I need you! COME OUT!"
"Come on, Saitou-san. Finish Taichi off right now."
Saitou's Lair. 7:57 P.M.
Only three and half minutes remained until the barrier to the Dark Realm comes down. The monsters were growing restless and anxious to be released from their prison. Saitou turns his eyes towards both the barrier and to the Uraotoko. He was sensing the ki coming from none other than Max. He knew the time was right to act now before Max has a chance to cut down through Neo's dimension.
"Well, Taichi Kamiya. It appears that the opening of the doorway to the Dark Realm has come. You heard Neo Saiba. He said that I cannot no longer be allowed to hesitate. This is it. One of us two warriors has to die."
"You bet!"
With both warriors standing out across from each other in another face off stare down, they put up their fighting stances. Max looks on helplessly and calls out in anguish towards his father.
"NO! FATHER! WAIT!"
Standing his ground, Omega X wasn't afraid to meet death head on. He very much embraced the idea of actually dying at the hands of Saitou. The warrior no longer hesitated as shown on the determination on his face.
"So, what are you waiting for? What's the matter! Come at me, you chicken bastard."
"No, I have no fear. You're simply not all that significant. I just want to savor your fall."
"Fine…"
Saitou takes one step ahead and puts up a defensive guard. Just then, a bright golden aura engulfed Omega X as his ki was slightly increasing once again.
"If you won't bring it to me, then I'll bring it to you! HAAA!"
Omega X flies out across the caverns with a bright aura flaring up and the rocks around him shatter under the sheer might of his ki. The caverns once again trembled. X attempts to call out to his apprentice but to no avail. He couldn't even scream out a single word anymore.
The warrior phases out and reappears above Saitou. Omega X attempts to fly down with a kick, but the Dark Angel was quick to block that out with one hand. He tosses Omega X across overhead. He managed to land on his feet swiftly. Turning around to hear out footsteps, Omega X ducks under a right hand from Saitou, bends over and delivers a side kick directly into Saitou's exposed gut. The kick's force managed to knock some air out of Saitou and cut off some oxygen from his body. The only physical force the kick ever did was push Saitou across a few yards ahead.
Suddenly, Omega X disappeared within a millisecond and transformed into a streak of light. However, when viewed from a single slow motion angle, Omega X was actually moving around quickly and attacking with ki-coated fists. The streaks of light punched all across Saitou's chest like an exposed target. However, the Dark Angel didn't seem at all effected from his adversary's barrage of hits.
Omega X goes for one last attack, cupped his hands together and whispered a chant for his favorite technique. A ball of ki energy collected around his palms.
"TERRA-"
Pushing back with his ki energy, he sends out a powerful force directly towards Saitou.
"-BEAM!"
The Dark Angel immediately powered up his Saint Light ki and caught the blast with one hand. Using his Resshu-ken style, he delivers a kick to send the beam directly through the roof. Omega X looks on with a gaping mouth in shock and felt the attack soaring up into the heavens of the planet.
Saitou retaliates by phasing out from sight and executing the same tactic that Omega X used earlier. Streaks of light pounded all across Omega X's chest and sent him hurtling across the caverns. The streaks criss-crossed into an 'X' motion and pushed Omega X back with extreme force. Saitou once again reappears at the cavern's center with little fatigue. On the other hand, Omega X was down face first in the dirt. He slowly makes it up back on his feet and cursed to himself. He winced after being dealt with painful blows across his body.
"Damn. Just a little bit more…"
"…"
"You're dead meat, Saitou. It's only a matter of moments before you met your maker."
Saitou implements yet another assault on his weakened adversary. Phasing out from sight again, Omega X felt more streaks of light pounding across his body at a rapid pace. Each blow was taking their toll on Omega X's body. The light streak once again criss-crossed and knocked Omega X back.
Reappearing above Omega X, Saitou comes down with a stomp across the warrior's chest. CRACK! That was the sound of Omega X's chest suddenly being crushed under one stomp from Saitou's shoe. Saitou swiftly lands on his feet and flies across to land a hard punch directly into Omega X's gut. He let out a gasp and felt more oxygen knocked right out of his lungs. The Dark Angel follows it up with yet another bone-crunching punch to his right ribcage. The blows were becoming too overwhelming for the warrior.
X looked on with horror and sits up from his kneeled position. He called out to his beaten apprentice.
"NO! TAI!"
Inside Neo's Dimension. 7:58 P.M.
Max gasped out as he witnessed the vicious beating his father was receiving at the hands of Himo Saitou. Each punch not only hurt Tai physically but hurt Max even more. His heart was beating quickly and mentally felt each punch one after another. His eyes became glazed over and once again the child was undergoing another traumatic period.
Everyone else watched on with intensified looks across their faces. Most started flaring up with strong flares while others gripped their weapons tightly. They, too, were wincing from each painful hit Omega X is taking. Max stumbled across and fell to knees.
"Max! Please, get up! You need to try again! Draw out your ki and unleash that sword," Keke pleaded for the boy.
"Why… Why now!" Max cried out of his traumatized state. "Why can't I use the power when I need it! Now, at the most crucial time…! Why doesn't my Jigen-to come forth!"
Another punch was swung and slams against Omega X's right cheek. The force was enough to send him hurtling across the caverns. Saitou delivers yet another set of punches, only this time into an uppercut to the jaw. The Kamiya boy had his eyes locked onto the battle at land and choked out a tear.
(Play Sum 41 We are all to Blame)
"You look like you've about had it, and yet I… I can't do anything for you, dad! I CAN'T DO A DAMN THING FOR YOU!"
Yet more punches and ki blasts were shot across to take Omega X off his feet. Max punches at the dimensional wall and screamed out for his father.
"No! We've been through so much together for it to end this way! It can't end like this!"
Feeling for the boy's cries of angst, the others also were feeling helpless to aid Omega X. Metalla X, Gallantmon, Mystic Celesta, War Angemon, Ultima X, Dorothy and Kaiser Greymon were amongst those hurt the most.
For Metalla X, Tai is considered not just a friend but his greatest rival. They had once been at conflict with one another since the first adventure in the Digital World. Feeling that Tai was unworthy to leading the Digi-Destined, he felt it was his every right to hold that position. In order to do so, he sold his soul to Burizalor to gain more power. He would challenge Tai to an ultimate showdown. War Greymon battled Metal Garurumon in the Digital World. What a battle it was for these two, but in the end, Matt met his eventual defeat at the hands of his own brother, TK. Later, Matt would meet his demise at the hands of Burizalor. Only then, Tai and War Greymon would avenge his death by defeating the tyrant. Once brought back to life, Matt vowed to merge with Gabumon to even up on Omega X. Thus, Metalla X was born before the showdown with the first wave of artificials. Then came the conflict with Virus. He was once again surpassed by not just Tai but Kari, too. Seven years after the War Games event, Matt would allow himself to become possessed by Dark Magimon's spell and thus granting him power to challenge Tai once again. It all came down to Omega X and Metalla X in a close battle, where each side was not willing to give out. With the D-Reaper hatched out of its shell, Matt took it upon himself to sacrifice his life to do away with D-Reaper. In one heroic act, Yamato threw his life to ensure the survival of his loved ones. Unfortunately, the D-Reaper survived and Yamato's sacrifice was wasted. After many tight struggles, Taichi and Yamato used the Gosenzo earrings to merge into Kaiser X for the first time. They challenged the D-Reaper, entered its body, freed their friends and weakened the D-Reaper in the process. At last during the final battle with the D-Reaper, Yamato had this to say after many years.
"Taichi, you are number one…"
With the Cosmic Terra Force/Life Bomb formed, the weapon was used to finally put down the D-Reaper. Matt would eventually have two children. One of which was a hero in another alternate future time. This was Dimitri. The other is the best friend to Max Kamiya, Kyoko "Keke" Ishida. Had it not been for Tai, Matt would not be alive to witness this historic moment or even grow up with two precious children by his side. Times of peace ended as soon as Bebimon appeared. Yamato became the primary target and ended up possessed by the last surviving Tufflesurian. Omega X ended up freeing his good friend and destroyed Bebimon in the process. Now just recently, Yamato has achieved what only Tai could achieve: reaching the Digital Fusion level four status. He can consider himself an equal to Tai, but now he knows that he doesn't stand a chance in hell against Saitou. Tai has helped to restore his life twice. Yamato will once again put his life at stake to avenge his best friend if he were to meet his demise.
"Tai. You may have been an ass to me and my greatest rival, but you've saved my life many times. I've been restored from death twice thanks to you. If I have to die a third time, I will be sure to make it count. My daughter has grown fond of your son. I'm pleased to know there's someone who can make my daughter happy. I won't let you die, Taichi. You mean so much to all of us. If you die, then I'll be more than happy to join you."
For Gallantmon, Taichi is his greatest idol. Ever since he had heard about digimon and watched the War Games, he wished to have a digimon partner by his side. Thus, Guilmon came to life in the real world. Befriending Tai's sister, Kari, Takato learned there was more to digimon than battles and competition. There was love, friendship, trust and team work. All of those helped Takato to become a better Tamer and the best of his team. Eventually, he would end up meeting Tai and admiring the original goggle head. Seeing Omega X in action made Takato's dream a reality. His dream was for him to merge with Guilmon to form one warrior. Enter Gallantmon, the Royal Knight of the Hazard. He would aid his comrades in the final battle against the D-Reaper. With Omega X forming the Cosmic Terra Force/Life Bomb, Gallantmon reached his Crimson Mode and helped to flatten the D-Reaper's rampage. Also, thanks in part to Tai's advice, Takato has gotten closer to the Digimon Queen herself. Takato and Rika have gotten closer over the years since the D-Reaper's demise. That would lead them to becoming a better team and eventually battling newer enemies five years since then. Takato will never forget that day he met Guilmon and became introduced to the great Taichi Kamiya.
"Tai. You and Kari helped me become who I am. If it wasn't for ya'lls advice, I wouldn't be the Tamer as I am right now. There is more to digimon than competition and power. There's love, responsibility, friendship, trust and team work. Those are the traits of a goggle head and I'm happy to have led the Tamers against many enemies. Tai, I'll never forget the day I met you. You were just about the coolest guy I've ever met and it was an honor using the Cosmic Terra Force Life Bomb on the D-Reaper for you. That was the day I was accepted as an equal to you. Now, your life is at stake. I'm more than happy to offer my help to you. I'll put my own life on the line just to ensure that you don't die. We'll attack Saitou together and come out victorious just like we have against any other enemy before him."
For Mystic Celesta, Tai is her older brother and a family member she cherishes dearly. They have been very close and the two Digi-Destined that were first introduced to digimon. She would never forget the day Parrotmon and Greymon clashed at Highton View Terrance. Originally, she was supposed to have gone with her brother to camp on August 1, 1999, but got caught with an illness. She missed out on the first half of the entire adventure in the Digital World. Tai returned from the Digital World to return temporarily to his home world and became reacuqianted with his little sister. Somehow, she knew Koromon since she and Tai raised a Koromon beforehand several years before. Myotismon ventured to the real world in search of the eighth child, later identified as Kari Kamiya. Gatomon was sent to find the child and kill her, but she was convinced by Wizardmon that Kari is indeed the 'one' she is looking for. Kari and Gatomon united to take a stand against Myotismon. Once disposing of Wizardmon, Tai threw Kari her digivice and thus allowed her to combine with her Crest of Light to digivolve Gatomon into Angewomon. With a single Celestial Arrow, she defeated Myotismon. That only led to Myotismon returning as Venom Myotismon. Using the help of a prophecy, Kari and TK needed their angel partners to shoot their arrows of 'Hope and Light' at their brothers. In the process, Agumon and Gabumon digivolve into War Greymon and Metal Garurumon. The Digi-Destined thus were able to crush the vampire lord.
In some ways, Kari has lent her brother aid in times of needs; just as Tai would save his sister's life. Kari and her brother would eventually overcome stronger enemies than Venom Myotismon. Those included Neo Devimon and Burizalor's empire. Kari becomes united with a celestial force, who helped lead the charge against Burizalor in the epic battle in the Digital World. It was thought that she or TK would be the prophesied warrior to ascend to overthrow the mighty tyrant. But it was Taichi who merged with Agumon to form Omega X. Thus, Burizalor's reign of terror ended. It wouldn't be until six years later that Kari would merge with Gatomon to become Celesta X. She was trained and chosen by her brother to be the one that defeats Virus at the War Games. Having no confidence, she was nearly killed by the crafty bio-android. She couldn't reach down to the 'Amazing Grace', which Tai had spoken fondly of. That power wouldn't be unleashed until a sacrifice was needed to unleash Hikari's suppressed powers. Black War Greymon became that ultimate sacrifice as he was destroyed by Virus. He died right in front of Kari's eyes. Having seen enough of the nightmare, Celesta X ascended to level two using her 'Amazing Grace' celestial powers. She had Virus defeated and beginning for mercy until the artificial took it upon himself to destroy the earth. Takeru intervened, revealed his true feelings for Hikari and teleported out using a hole into a dark realm. Thus, Virus detonated and Takeru passed on. However, the celebration would be short-lived. Virus returned stronger than ever. With Tai and TK supporting her, Kari gave it her all and vaporized Virus down to the last cells. The Child of Light had defeated Datamon's bio-weapon.
Seven years later, she would eventually meet Takato as his substitute teacher. Once Takato and Guilmon became a team, it was Kari and Tai who taught the duo the meaning of friendship, team work and trust. These traits would be passed down to the Digimon Tamers. While the Tamers were gaining more experience and power with their digimon, Kari took it upon herself to train under Lord Shintomon with Angewomon. It is believed that the Omega Blade would grant the warrior who pulls it out of the stone infinite power and wisdom. Successfully pulling it out, Kari and Angewomon were granted the Mystic power-up from Gosenzomon, the previous Supreme Lord digimon from at least fifteen generations ago. Thus, Mystic Celesta was born. She waged a battle against the D-Reaper and came close to victory, but the D-Reaper absorbed Davis, TK and Buddamon. Kari was clearly defeated and became absorbed herself. It was then that Tai and Matt rescued their loved ones from within the D-Reaper. Mystic Celesta aided her comrades in the final battle against the D-Reaper. Using her Omega Blade, she allowed Gallantmon the honor to finish the D-Reaper off with the Cosmic Terra Force/Life Bomb. After that event, she would marry TK and have two children within the next five years. Their children are twins named Tike and Kara.
Now to this very day, she has managed to fight with her brother against many opposing forces. Bebimon was first, followed by the Super Artificial and down to the seven monsters. She has slain Lamiamon. In addition, with Takeru's aid, she once again triumphed over Virus. Before being trapped inside the Uraotoko, Mystic Celesta sealed Myotismon inside a 'sinning tree' for eternity. Now, she stands to this very day and ready to enter a battle that she may not come out alive. Hikari is willing to stake her life when it comes to protecting those in need, including her brother.
"Big brother. Thanks to you, I'm no longer that sickly little girl with that whistle around her. I've not only inherited Light as my trait but I've inherited your courage. We are siblings after all. It was you and I who saw our first digimon. We together experienced a digimon long before you went to camp to enter the Digital World. It was thanks to you that Gatomon and I overcame Myotismon. I returned the favor by having Angewomon shot her arrow at you to grant Agumon his mega digivolution. You helped me and Gatomon to prepare for Virus. We really didn't think we had what it took to defeat that monster. I admit I was scared when I fought Virus, but was determined to become your equal. Once realizing my Amazing Grace powers, we rose to the occasion and our light overcame Virus' darkness. I'm proud to say that day was the greatest day of my life, despite losing Takeru temporarily. I became what I never thought I'd become: a hero. I would become acquitanted with Takato. With my experience and advice, Takato became an efficient Tamer. Guess you could say the student would become a teacher to another. You watched me and Angewomon receive the Mystic training to become the warrior we have now become. Together, we helped Takato to crush the D-Reaper. Here I stand with you ready to stake my own life to save you. I'm not doing it because I'm a Digi-Destined. No, I'm doing this since I am your sister and I couldn't stand the thought of losing you. You molded me to what I have become today: a fearless Child of Light."
For War Angemon, Tai is his brother-in-law. He started out as a crybaby during the first adventures. With Tai leading the group, he would grow up into a braver individual. He really didn't need Matt to look out for him 24/7. When it was learned that Tai was becoming closer to TK, Matt wanted nothing to do with it and out of desperation got into verbal confrontations with Tai. Thus, leading to fights between the two. Eventually, Matt disappeared after the Digi-Destined returned to the Digital World. It was later revealed that Matt was recruited to Burizalor's forces to be granted more power needed to defeat Taichi. It was TK and not Tai who would deal the final blow to the ending battle in the Digital World. TK and Angemon defeated Metal Garurumon. They would become reunited at Spiral Mountain to face off against Burizalor's Demon Corps. But, it was Tai and War Greymon who came to their rescue. The Demon Corps were defeated until Burizalor arrived. The tyrant killed Yamato and ended up nearly murdering the younger brother. Tai intervened to protect his comrades, thus becoming Omega X to vanquish the evil warlord.
Six years later, TK and his partner merged to become War Angemon. They would take part in the War Games but not as participants. Instead, War Angemon was the one who sacrificed himself to save Celesta X rather than Tai doing the honors. It was then Takeru displayed his true affections for Hikari. With Virus defeated, TK and Kari grew closer to each other. When the D-Reaper was released, Tai needed TK and Davis to perform the latest technique: Digital Fusion Power. It was a technique used to merge two Fusion warriors. Once it was perfected, War Dramon was born and become a valuable asset that lead to the D-Reaper's demise. War Dramon was the fusion of War Angemon and Imperialdramon. TK and Kari would eventually marry. They have twins named Tike and Kara.
Since then, TK, Davis and Kari each became valuable assets to the Digi-Destined team. They together formed a cohesive unit. In fact, they defeated Virus and Burizalor once again before entering Saitou's cavern lair.
"Tai, I'm proud to have become your brother-in-law. You don't understand how much of a great sister you have. Like sister, like brother, right? I just want to let you know that I'm here anytime you need me. You helped me overcome my fears and I've become a responsible young man. It's thanks to you that I've achieved this fused form. Davis and I have become better friends thanks to you. Now, I'm prepared to die in battle for the sake of you and my loved ones. Let's all go out in style!"
For Ultima X, Tai is considered a guy he would always look up to as a brother. At first, he was a kid with little friends, but that all changed as he befriended Kari. With Kari as his best friend, he started to think that Kari would stay by his side forever. He didn't know Tai that well until the leader eventually returned once Mirai Dimitri defeated a revived Burizalor. Beforehand, Davis and Veemon became an inseparable duo with a huge victory over Kimeramon. He was the one Digi-Destined who saw through to Ken's problems and offered him to join his team. Once Tai became reunited with his friends after a near four year absence, Davis looked up to him and told him that he was Kari's friend. Tai approved of the fact that Davis did his best job leading the newer Digi-Destined. By the time the artificials were awakened, Davis was introduced to Sonja. He was even starting to grow a crush on her as he did with Kari. Once Virus absorbed Jax and Sonja, he became the 'perfect' artificial. Davis vowed to rescue the 'new girl of his dreams' so to speak.
When Virus was defeated at the War Games, he and Sonja would start to have quite the rocky relationship. He tried everyway to do what he can to impress her. That is when Tai intervened and taught Davis everything there is to know about 'being a man'. With the leader's love tip advice, Davis managed to impress the 'original ice queen'. They eventually married about three years after Davis graduated high school. Once again, their marriage started off rocky and they often had fights. Yet, they still remained together since Davis was the first guy to actually make her laugh. Despite her hardcore mentality, she deeply loved Davis. During the battle against the D-Reaper, Davis played a huge role in fusing with War Angemon to form War Dramon. They helped to lead the D-Reaper to its demise.
It wasn't until the fourth era when Davis and Veemon would gain major upgrades. Veemon reached a new alternate champion level: Wyveemon. Abandoning the use of Paildramon, Davis and Veemon merged into Mega Veemon. During the conflict with Bebimon, Mega Veemon merged with Avengemon/Dorothy to become Saver Veemon. Though, failing to defeat Bebimon, Davis stood back to watch Omega X finish off the last surviving Tufflesurian. Once obtaining enough data from Dorothy/Avengemon, they weren't required to help Mega Veemon to ascend to Saber Veemon. When Tai and Takato were unable to defeat Super Artificial Jax, Davis took action to battle the mighty android. Having realized that Ken was murdered by this android, Saber Veemon evolved into Ultima X. He and Sonja combined their efforts to destroy the Super Artificial. Davis had become an equal to both Tai and Takato in one battle.
Before arriving at the caverns, Davis managed to overcome Necromon/Lichidramon. He and Sonja even managed to bypass through a revived Burizalor. Now, here he stands firm with Sonja to aid Omega X in the upcoming crisis.
"Tai. You're like a brother to me, man. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have become better friends with TK. I wouldn't have gained a hot wife like Sonja. I helped to carry the team during your absence. I'm proud to have gotten to know you and I'm honored to wear one of your old goggles. Being a goggle head is a true honor. Now, there are four to tango. You. Myself. Takato. Takuya. We four share one trait in common: courage. You saved our lives many times before. Kari was right about you. You are a true hero and willing to sacrifice his body at any given time. I respect a guy like you. I may not live up to your heroic standards, but damn it, I'm pretty close to it! Sonja and I will fight with you to the very end, because you are our best friend. I've just lost Ken and I'm not about to lose you either! Let's go out with a bang against this bastard!"
For Dorothy, Tai granted her life so to speak. It was right at the point the final D-Reaper was preparing to meet its demise.
"I want you to be reborn as a good hearted person, because I would definitely like to fight you again."
Months after the D-Reaper meet her end, the reincarnated form was born in England. In just nearly a whole week, the baby grew up to a ten-year-old girl at a rapid pace. Nobody could make a guess as to how this special girl grew up rather quickly. X was responsible for this course of action since Dorothy herself demanded it. She would eventually travel to Japan. There she and her new digimon partner, Avengemon, would confront Taichi. She wanted Avengemon to battle War Greymon. It ended up in a draw in a close and hotly contested battle. Dorothy and Avengemon became Tai's newest students. For the next five years, she and Avengemon perfected their new styles thanks in part to Tai's teachings. Their next battle came when Bebimon arrived on earth. The Tufflesurian destroyed Avengemon, but it resulted in Dorothy absorbing his data, gaining super-human powers and regaining memories of her D-Reaper past. She and Mega Veemon merged into Saber Veemon to combat Bebimon until Tai would return.
Now, she's ready to come to Tai's aid and is willing to sacrifice herself for her teacher. She has grown attached to his family and is Max's 'big sister' so to speak. Just recently, thanks in part of an arrangement made by Tai, Dorothy has starting becoming interested in Henry. This could be perhaps the start of a relationship for the former D-Reaper.
"Tai. I became born as Dorothy Kaimodosu thanks to your wish to reincarnate me from the D-Reaper. You've taught me everything there is to know about how precious life can be. You have a very dear wife and a wonderful child. If you die, then my life has no meaning. You granted me life. So in a way, you're like a father to me. Thank you, Taichi. Now, allow me to return the favor."
For Kaiser Greymon, Tai is a good friend. In all honesty, Takuya did not know Tai as long as the others have but he can relate to him as a fellow goggle head. Takuya Kanabara is the leader of his arranged team: the Legendary Warriors of the Celestial trio. Together, they are able to form the mighty Susanoomon. He and his friends have defeated many enemies before meeting Tai and the others. Viral Cherubimon, the Royal Knights, the evil Legendary Warriors, Duskmon and Lucemon are many names that come to Takuya's mind. He and his fellow warriors befriended Tai's team during a trip to retrieve the black digicores. Together, they have managed to defeat Dr Myuumon's empire and Bebimon. Takuya helped to defeat Haze Frogmon to capture one of the digicores. Now, he stands by to take part in perhaps the most important battle in his life as a legendary warrior.
"Tai. After getting to know you this past year, I've grown to admire a guy like you. Hell, you're the one who started the goggle head trend. At first, I thought you were just a kid but man I didn't know you were actually a guy shrunk down by some freak accident. After seeing your battle with Bebimon, you kick major ass, my friend. Super level four rocks! What can I say? This just maybe our final battle, but I'm not letting my efforts go to waste!"
With that said, these seven individuals noticed their chest emitting bright auras of light. Metalla X's was blue and shaped as the symbol of friendship. Mystic Celesta's chest shone with the Crest of Light. The Crest of Hope was brightly formed on War Angemon. Ultima X noticed a knight's shield forming on his chest and it materializes through his Crest of Nobility. Next, a golden light illuminated brightly through the symbol and he became basked by the golden Miracle. Dorothy found herself emitting a red aura around her body. Kaiser Greymon's chest illuminated with his two spirits: Agunimon and Burning Greymon. Finally, Gallantmon was becoming even more crimson than before and the hazard emblem on his chest was glowing. Those seven streams of light criss-crossed each other until they merged into a single light.
"Whoa! Did you guys see that!" Zephrymon exclaimed.
"Seven streams of light coming from those seven!" Sakuyamon gasped. "Unbelievable! These seven alone could help to unleash the power needed for Max to reform his Jigen-to!"
"If that's the case, then Max you better take their energy!" Magna Garurumon calls out to the boy.
"This just maybe our last chance, Max! Do it now before your father is finished!" Pikkan encouraged Max.
"C'mon, Max! Don't let this opportunity slip past you!" exclaimed BW.
"Max!" the seven unified warriors called out in unison. "Hurry and take it!"
Not wasting any time, Max held out his hands and collected the energy from the seven streams of light. He felt his ki rise higher than normally expected. Combine this with his flashbacks of his favorite moments with his father, the boy was already gaining enough power to wield a Jigen-to ten-times stronger than the last one used against Rei Saiba.
"Go for it, Max!" Rei and Keke encouraged the boy.
"FATHER! NO! I WILL NOT LET YOU DIE! HA!"
As soon as he unleashed a loud cry, a long streak of orange-yellow ki enlarged from out of Max's palms. Everyone, including Neo, was looking on with utter disbelief. Max gasped at the size of his ki sword. It was nearly six feet long in length and sharp enough to slice through even the strongest of dimensions.
"I can't believe our energy just gave Tai's kid this insanely strong power!" Metalla X thought. "My god! There's no way Neo's dimension is going to withstand this!"
"Cut it through, Max!" Mystic Celesta cries out in encouragement for her nephew.
"We're going to be set free from this damn prison! About time!" Mega Gargomon let out a sigh of relief. "Then it's off to kick Saitou's rear!"
"Get ready brother. This is it," Loweemon informed Magna Garurumon.
"Right!"
Saitou's Lair. 7:58
Once being struck with rapid punches across his face, Omega X was pushed back with extreme force. Streaks of light once again pounded across his chest and forced him down to his knees.
Reappearing across from where the warrior was kneeling, Saitou stood his ground and prepared to implement another head on assault. He looked ahead and was stunned to see Omega X standing back on his feet. Omega X raised his head directly towards Saitou and gives him yet another determined glare. The Saint Light ki once again engulfed Saitou as he prepared to deliver the final blow to seal Tai Kamiya's fate.
"Taichi Kamiya. I hope that you've found eternal peace."
With that said, the Dark Angel's aura flared up and he flies out directly for his adversary. The warrior of courage stands up with a smirk crossing his face. Death was approaching his way and he wasn't even worried the least bit. There were instant flashbacks of his life entire replaying all over again. Perhaps, this was the foreshadowing of the event that will change the face of the two realms forever.
Inside Neo's Dimension. 7:59 P.M.
Max gazes down upon his intensely-powered Jigen-to and felt it's overwhelming power. It was much stronger than powerful and looked long enough to cut through even the widest of dimension barriers. Neo's eyes widened once he gazed upon the magnificent ki weapon forged by the six year old boy.
"No… How is this possible! He's simply just a boy!" Neo exclaimed.
"Use that sword, Max! Make it count!" Keke calls out to her friend.
"Take that damn dimensional barrier down!" Ultima X screamed out.
Neo immediately turns his attention back directly towards where Dark Angel was flying out directly for Omega X for the finishing blow.
"I've done all I can! Finish him, Saitou-san!"
However, before he had a chance of turning around, Max raised his Jigen-to and came down with it in one gigantic swing. The sword unleashes a mighty force that rushes across the dimension and through the barrier itself. Neo couldn't maintain his dimension territory any longer. He could only look on in horror as the dimension was split in two and cut wide open.
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:59 P.M.
Suddenly realizing the Uraotoko has finally been cut down, Gosenzomon turns around and gives the signal to Shintomon.
"Now!"
"Right!"
"Not without me you're not!" Sora calls out.
"Sora! Wait! Don't!" Mimi calls out to her friend.
Shintomon was immediately caught off guard and watched Sora grab onto him. Soon afterwards, Phoenixmon swooped in attempt to snare her partner away.
"Sora! What is the meaning of this!" Buddamon exclaimed.
"If my son and husband are in there, I have every right to be there for them!" Sora shouted. "Shintomon! Teleport us in NOW!"
With an approving nod, Shintomon instantly vanishes out from sight with Sora and Phoenximon joining him. The others were left behind and turned their glares back over to the viewing orb.
"Good luck, you guys," Joe mumbled.
Saitou's Lair. 7:59 P.M.
Back within the caverns, the final minute was just underway. Saitou, charged up with his full Saint Light ki, was flying out with one hand stretched out in order to finish off Omega X.
There was a sudden freezing of time itself once a streak of golden-orange ki light sliced through the Uraotoko in half. Everything seemed to be standing still as if time was instantly frozen. Saitou and Omega X were stiff as statues.
After a few seconds of frozen time, the Uraotoko unleashed a horrifying screech before it was instantly deleted. Finally, everyone from within the dimension was immediately set free.
Suddenly, from the other side of the caverns, Shintomon instantly appeared with Sora and Phoenixmon accompanying him. They had arrived just at the last moment to witness the dismantling of Neo's Uraotoko and Saitou charging ahead to deliver the finishing blow to Omega X. Sora's eyes widened in despair when she saw her husband preparing to meet death head-on without a show of fear.
The first to fly out from out of the shattered dimension were the seven that had transferred their energy to Max. Metalla X, Mystic Celesta, Ultima X, War Angemon, Crimson Gallantmon, Dorothy and Kaiser Greymon flew out in masse. Each powered up instantly with aura flares engulfing them. Max flies out alongside of them. Keke accompanied the boy while carrying along Rei Saiba. Neo Saiba had fallen flat on the ground and was knocked unconscious from his fall. The others tagged along behind the crew. This included BW, Pikkan, Cyberleomon, Sonja, Sakuyamon, Beelzebumon, Mega Gargomon, Zephrymon, Koriikkakumon, Metal Kabuterimon, Magna Garurumon and Loweemon.
All of them cried out for their beloved to move aside from becoming massacred from the Dark Angel's upcoming attack.
"TAICHI!" the crew cried out in unison.
"FATHER!"
"TAI!"
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Max, X, Sora, Mystic Celesta and Rei exclaimed out to their beloved.
Within the last second, Omega X turns around to face his loved ones for a last time. Then, came the unexpected. Saitou's ki-coated left hand punched right through Omega X's targeted chest.
…
…
…
…
…
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
There was an instant flash of light, which exploded across the entire caverns. Max was the first to react to this and gasped out in shock. He had just seen what he never expected to see. The unexpected had finally come into fruition. Soon, everyone else was sporting the same shocked expressions. Some even frozen in place with their mouths dry as cotton. Each of their heart beats stopped completely as time itself froze again. Other than Max, perhaps the most devastated were Sora, X, Mystic Celesta, Shintomon and Rei Saiba. Even Metalla X, Pikkan, Beezlebumon and BW were shocked beyond their belief.
"No… NOO!" X screamed out of anguish. "Not again. He can't be killed in this time either! It's as if history is repeating itself!"
"FATHER!" Max screamed out one last time before his cries echoed across the caverns.
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:59 P.M.
Looking on through the viewing orb, even the crew outside was showing signs of fear and sadness. Their only hope had been done in before each of their very own eyes. Not even Kazu, Guardromon and Kenta were in the mood to crack any one-liners at the moment. Gomamon, Joe, Cody and Digmon were speechless. Mimi started breaking down in tears as she pressed herself onto Izzy. Rosemon and Hercules Kabuterimon were already in grief. There was instant eerie silence. Mummymon fell to his knees and watched the hero give his life up for the sake of his loved ones. Arukenimon held Black Gatomon tightly. Even tears were being shed from Jeri. Gosenzomon fell back in shock while Lady Moinanea was the affected out of everyone.
"…My lady…"
Ignoring Buddamon's voice, the demigoddess felt her heart stop beating for a moment until tears started swelling up in her eyes. She had just realized that her chosen champion was done in by the Dark Angel. One of the final pieces to her prophecy was coming to fruition, but this was an unexpected twist. 'The One' was supposed to defeat the 'Dark Angel' after reversing a failed assassination attempt. But, there was a final piece stating that: For the One to become the Messiah, the Dark Angel will need to…. Will need to what? Kill 'The One'? Perhaps this was the last piece of the prophecy. Maybe it isn't. Only time will tell.
However, Lady Moinanea was in no mood to determine whether her prophecy is true or not. She was busy already mourning over the loss of a beloved hero. The demigoddess would breakdown every time a warrior of hers dies in battle. In this case, Taichi was more than just her champion but a beloved friend. It was thanks to Tai that he set the demigoddess free from out of the Mystic Dragon.
"Taichi… Oh Taichi… No… This can't be… I… I… I'm sorry, Sora. Little Max. Everyone. I'm sorry!"
"Don't take this out on yourself, my lady," Gosenzomon attempted to calm the demigoddess down.
Much like Lady Moinanea, Mimi herself was sobbing with tears as she witnessed a close friend murdered.
"Not Tai… Why did he have to be the one that dies! WHY!"
(Play Midnight Sons If only Tears Could Only Bring you Back?)
Lady Moinanea sits up from the ground and slowly stumbles across towards the viewing orb. Her teary eyes locked directly on Omega X's body slowly plummeting onto the cavern floor. She instantly covered her eyes to shield her eyes from the disheartening moment. Gosenzomon and Buddamon kneeled beside the demigoddess while bowing their heads.
Outskirts of Tokyo. 7:59 P.M.
With Susumu still working on the car, Yuuko was staring off into the moonlight. Suddenly, she felt a large gust of wind pass by her and her head shot up as if s bullet had shot her directly in the heart. In fact, she felt her heart suddenly stop for a moment and a cold chill run down her spine. Her eyes widened in shock as if she felt she had most a loved one.
"Taichi…?"
On the road within Western Odaiba. 7:59 P.M.
The two passenger cars were driving by on the road in hopes of finding refuge outside of the city district. In the van drive by Yolei's brother, Wormmon, Sam, David, Tike and Kara each gasped out. Much like Yuuko, their hearts had stopping beating for a moment until they saw images of Tai in their minds.
"Uncle Tai?" Tike and Kara said in unison.
"Why am I suddenly seeing Max's dad in my mind?" Davis wondered.
"You don't something happened, do you?" Sam asked.
"These kids don't realize it yet, do they?" Wormmon thought. "Taichi. He couldn't be… Could he?"
In the other car, even Yolei and Hawkmon felt their hearts stop beating for a second. They visualized Tai just as the children and Wormmon did in the van. Yolei placed her hand across her chest.
"Yolei? Did you feel that?"
"Yes, but what exactly was that just now?"
"Then, I just saw Tai for a minute through my mind."
"Tai…? He couldn't have… No! Ken just died days ago! I couldn't bear to hear that we've lost another loved one. Why is this happening to us? What did we ever do to deserve to do this!"
"Yolei? What's wrong?" Momoe asked her younger sister.
"…"
Yolei was stiff as a statue until she returned back to reality.
"Nothing… Yet, that is."
Rainbow Bridge area. 7:59 P.M.
Once riding of the rogue digimon that swarmed across the bridge area, the three Digital Warriors stopped to take a rest. Metal Seadramon patrolled the seaport in case more rogues decided to appear.
Even the trio felt a ki suddenly disappear. They knew the warrior had fallen in battle.
"So, the warrior has been done in?" Piximon said in thought. "This is not going to look good for our side if the tunnel releases the Synisters. The human world is finished…"
"We can only do what we can, Piximon," Centaurmon replied while probing his friend's thoughts. "Nothing will deter us from completing our task."
"That's right. We will fight these challenges until the very end," nodded Andromon.
"I just hope it didn't have to occur, my friends. Taichi was our only hope to prevent this crisis from ever occurring," sighed Piximon. "Fine, I'll do what I can. Even though, it's a battle we surely will not win."
"If what they say is true, then we as Digi-Destined from across the planet are in for war," Michael said in thought. "May hell on earth begin…"
East Shinjuku. Underground Hypnos Facility. 7:59 P.M.
Working hard on their underground projects, the Hypnos team was viewing a sudden increase of activity through their data screens. Yamaki gasped at the size of the 'anomaly' rapidly growing at an extraordinary rate. This was the tunnel located inside the coordinates of Demon's Cavern.
This was larger than anything the Devas could ever create as far as digital fields are concerned. This was the digital field that would eventually open up a gateway to hell itself. The Devas were merely tiny gnats compared to the eventual A-class, S-Class and the Super classes that will eventually roam the human world, not to mention across the four Digital Worlds.
"Sir! The anomaly from Demon's Cavern is already growing at an extraordinary rate! It's larger than anything that has bio-emerged into this plane of existence!" Riley announced.
"What! Izzy's out there as we speak!" Talley screamed out. "We have to go there to get him out of there!"
"I never thought there would be anything bigger than the D-Reaper or the monsters that emerged from the vortex in the sky days ago," Yamaki growled. "At this point, it will take a long time to repair the Juggernaut program. I fear for the worst to come…"
"What do you mean, sir?" Riley gasped.
The man snapped his cigarette lighter shut as he placed his hand across the screen. Letting out a deep sigh, Yamaki turned to face the two ladies.
"The end has indeed come… Those Digi-Destined, Tamers and their allies have failed. Hell itself has finally been unleashed. The Biblical story of End of Days has finally come into fruition. It will be a slow, painful death for human civilization. It's all over…"
Falling to his knees, Yamaki cursed to himself. The ladies were now more nervous than they ever were before. The D-Reaper successfully destroyed the planet, but this new threat is predicted to unleash a larger catastrophic event that will be many times worse than even the D-Reaper.
"May God have mercy on our souls…"
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Domain
Speechless from the turn of events, Gennai fell to his knees. The dragon god sighed out in sadness over the death of their beloved warrior of courage.
"It has been done," Gennai choked out. "He's done…"
03 Digital World. Zhuqiaomon's Domain
Zhuqiaomon and Ebonwumon shared the same sentiments as their counterparts did from the 01-02 Realm. The loss of the great hero was historic yet disheartening. Now, their own world shares the same fate as the 01-02 realm and the human world: doomsday.
04 Digital World. Seraphimon's Palace
The same is said for Seraphimon and the Celestials. Sorcermon, Bokomon and Neemon each sported shocked expressions. Once mourning the loss of Omega X, the three celestials gave a prayer chant similar to the chants said by priests of the human world.
? Center of the Four Digital World Domains ?
Huanlongmon, Duane and his assistants shared the same feelings as every divine power within the Digital Universe. The great sovereign lowered his head and mourned the loss of Taichi Kamiya. Then, he gazes his attention over to outside his royal chambers.
"He's done. Now it's time to rely on the Digital World Special Task Force."
"No… Not, Tai! It can't be true! No!" the older Keke squeaked out before falling to her knees.
Half a mile away from Demon's Cavern. 7:59 P.M.
Immediately stopping at his treks, Monodramon felt a sudden ki fading into obscurity. Ryo also stopped and panted to take a breather from the long walk through the forest. The teen wiped the layers of sweat bedded on his forehead. A twisted smile cross his face as the Dark God himself spoke through him telepathically.
"It has been done, Saitou. You've done your part. With the warrior of courage gone, the tunnel can be cut down and I shall be restored to my ultimate glory. Xeed pales in comparison to the form I have yet to manifest for myself. Nothing will stand in my way for conquest and the destruction of this universe. I've already laid waste to many universes before I came here to change everything through time and space itself. Warrior of courage, have a nice long sleep. You'll never wake up again to challenge my authority."
Saitou's Lair. 7:59 P.M.
There was once again an instant freeze in time until Omega X's body is sailing across the caverns in slow motion. A stream of blood came pouring out from the massive wound through where his heart is positioned. His eyes were closed and it looked like his body wasn't showing any signs of life. In fact, his ki life force was reduced to zero. Omega X landed back first onto the ground and seemed completely lifeless. His head tilted to the side and the hole through his chest was very nasty. Blood emerged from where the hole was made.
Everyone, including Sora and Max, were stunned with a mixture of shock and grief. Their beloved warrior had finally met his end in battle. Even the warriors felt no ki from their now deceased leader. X started swelling up with tears in his eyes in grief over the loss of his greatest student and best friend he could ever have.
Max stepped out of the silent group and looked across at his fallen father. He felt no ki emitting from the body and choked with tears.
"No… It's not possible… Not my dad… He can't be… He can't…"
Even Saitou was displaying at least some sympathy for the fallen warrior of courage. His face was slightly twisted with some hints of grief.
"Taichi Kamiya just died."
Outside Demon's Cavern. 7:59 P.M.
Falling down to her knees, Lady Moinanea trembled in a sudden state of shock. She couldn't even feel out the warrior's ki anymore.
"Lady Moinanea!" Suzie calls out. "Please, try to calm down!"
"You'll only strain yourself and your baby," Cody attempted to hold down the demigoddess.
"You don't want to go and strain yourself out, my lady," Armadillomon agreed.
"Oh my god… Izzy. Don't tell me that he just… It can't be true!" Mimi choked out with tears.
"I'm sorry, Mimi…"
"No… I refuse to believe that."
"Taichi's ki has vanished at that last moment," Lady Moinanea announced. "I come back just to see my beloved champion die… No. Many of my greatest warriors died heroic deaths, but they fail to comparison with this man. He truly was a hero of legend."
As soon as she said that, a piece of fencing fell on the ground. It was the shape of a 'cross' and it stuck through the earth as if a gravesite was already prepared. This was an allusion of the death of Taichi Kamiya.
The group looked over towards the cross and gasped at the sight of it. Even Mummymon was spooked out by this sudden paranormal occurrence.
"Creepy…" Mummymon commented.
Saitou's Lair. 8:00 P.M.
The fallen corpse of Omega X laid flat on the ground with no signs of life. His eyes were closed and his breathing was no longer swallow. He was simply dead without reason. However, Max refused to believe that his own father had met his end just now. The boy broke the silence with a single comment.
"C'mon, dad. Stop clowning around, ya prankster," Max managed to chuckle.
"Max, please…" Sora calls out.
"No, mom. Look. He's just playing. You know how dad can be."
"Max, we can't even feel out his ki," Mystic Celesta whispered.
"It's no use. He's gone," replied War Angemon.
"Understand what we're trying to tell you," Shintomon stated.
"No. Dad's always managed to escape death at very tweenie weenie second. He escaped death when he barely managed to escape the exploding dimension against Burizalor, he survived the D-Virus, Uncle TK decided to be the one to stake his life for Aunt Kari against Virus rather than my dad, dad helped to overcome D-Reaper, and my dad managed to fake death when he made us think he was killed by Bebimon. Yeah, you're really fooling me dad."
"Stop being so naïve, boy," Metalla X growled. "You don't get it."
"Max, please stop this. You're not helping any," Keke walks up to the delusional boy.
Kneeling beside his lifeless father, Max pushed on his corpse and giggled.
"C'mon, dad. Get up. Hey, c'mon now. You're just playing around. You always love to play jokes on mom all the time."
He placed his hand over Omega X's mouth and nose, in order to cut off his breathing. However, there was no oxygen within the warrior since he had just died.
"I'll just cover up your mouth and nose. There. Yeah, you'll wake up and beg for me to release my hold on your nose. You can't complain. I mean dead guys don't need to breath."
"Max! That's enough!" Sora calls out to her son.
"No matter what act you're putting on, once I listen to your heart, the joke is over! Here! Let me hear that ol' heart beating!"
As soon as he pressed his ear against his father's chest, he couldn't hear a single heartbeat. His smile twisted into that of a gaping mouth. He sits up and trembled in shock. His eyes widened with tears swelling up underneath his eyelids.
"Dad…?"
Sitting up from the ground, Max stood over his father's corpse while lowering his head. More tears streamed down the young boy's eyes. Keke and Sora held Max close to them to share their grief with him. Rei Saiba fell to her knees and covered her face in sadness. Mystic Celesta looked down at her brother's corpse and shed tears within her angelic blue eyes. The warrior gathered together to mourn over the loss of their beloved. What makes it worse was the fact that the digicores cannot be used since they are still tainted with negative energy and still needed to be purified by Azulongmon. The black digicores were sealed away and agreed upon to never be used again.
There was no gamble to be made. The Digi-Destined. The Tamers. The Legendary Warriors. Each mourning as one. They have lost their hero. Metalla X/Yamato loses a great friend and a rival. War Angemon/Takeru loses a brother-in-law. Ultima X/Davis loses a dear friend and a man he considers a 'brother'. Mystic Celesta/Hikari loses her one and only older brother. Gallantmon/Takato loses a friend and a teacher. Kaiser Greymon/Takuya loses a fellow goggle head and friend. Dorothy loses a man she considers a 'father figure'. Rei Saiba has lost an older image of a young man she loved in her own world. Sora has lost a beloved husband and childhood friend. Max was the most devastated of the bunch. He has lost a father of nature and talent. To him, there wasn't anyone like him.
Breaking out of his grieving moment, Max's eyes became possessed with rage and hatred. He turned around to face Saitou with an angry scowl. A bright aura engulfed him with his ki rising greatly.
Saitou simply sported that same emotionless glare he had when Omega X met his demise. He sat on top of his television set while clasping his hands together as if he were chanting a prayer.
"The movie on this DVD is already over. I was so caught up in the fight that I missed the chance to listen to the ending. It's a very beautiful requiem. It would have been perfect for Taichi Kamiya right now. I just feel a deeper sadness. Taichi. He's simply just another soul fighting for the wrong cause."
As soon as the Dark Angel made those comments, the entire warrior group turned directly towards Saitou. Max's eyes were mixed with rage and sadness. The same can be said for Kaiser Greymon, War Angemon, Ultima X, Shintomon, Cyberleomon, the Tamer digimon, and the rest of the Legendary Warriors. Metalla X, Gallantmon, Mystic Celesta, Dorothy, Pikkan, Sonja, BW and Beelzebumon each had eyes filled with inner rage building up as if waiting to go off like time bombs. Sora, Keke and Phoenixmon kneeled over to Omega X's lifeless corpse. The redhead covered her face and trembled heavily. Phoenixmon faced directly at Saitou and hissed.
In their view, the sparks have been set. This means WAR.
"In truth, he may be dead, but there's no need for you to miss him. We will all be joining him soon there after."
Nobody even bothered to reply to the Dark Angel's warning. There was instant silence within the caverns but the screeching of the monsters behind the dimensional barrier wall. The wall quickly shattered and the first wave of monsters were quickly penetrating through.
"The real finale is just getting started," Saitou announced. "If you plan to get your swings in, then hurry. The tunnel has been completed."
With that said, Max cries out in anguish one last time as the monsters were already emerging from out of the tunnel. The warriors were set and hell bent on avenging the death of the great warrior of courage. Saitou has made the biggest mistake and he may even regret for what he has done. Taichi Kamiya. After many years of surviving death through luck has finally met his end.
Taichi Kamiya
Born: May 5, 1988
Died: October 29, 2016
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"
(Preview)
Max: Dad's gone and there's nothing we can do to bring him back. The digicores are still inactive.

Sora: This can't be happening. Not, Tai. Why him?
Max: Don't you worry, mom! We're going to avenge his death! Saitou! I'm going to make your skull an ash for my father's ashes!
Saitou: You'll have to cut down the Anti-Synister barrier if you and your comrades hope to reach me.
Mystic Celesta/Kari: THIS ONE'S FOR MY BIG BROTHER!
Metalla X/Matt: YOU'RE ASS IS DEAD, SAITOU!

Susanoomon: We're not going to give up! We're here to avenge Tai!
Shintomon: Let's make this count, everyone!
Ultima X/Davis: We drag this battle onwards into the Dark Realm. We get a glimpse of what this actual place looks like. Kari, don't let the darkness consume you.
Saitou: So, this is the Dark Realm? Perhaps I shall look for the answers to my questions here.
X: These guys know it is a battle that they cannot win, but they still press forward! I'll be damned if I don't join them!
Sora: This next chapter is entitled…
Attempting Revenge! Battle in the Dark Realm!
Sonja: Now, Saitou's managed to form himself quite some powerful armor. Can we even penetrate through his defenses and come out on top?
Keke: Don't you miss this heart-pounding chapter or else!
I've finally done it. Tai has officially died in the Digimon Fusion series. Here all of you were beginning to wonder if I were planning to have him killed at some point. Well, you guys have your wishes. I'd like to thank all to those who have sent their song suggestions. I appreciate it. I hope this was a worthy chapter since I've been building this up for months. Now, we'll get to see how our heroes, who have grown considerably stronger overtime, stand a chance against their most powerful enemy to date. Can they avenge their beloved's death or join him in eternal peace?
You'll just have to find out for yourselves. Until then, peace!

Hi! Hi! We're down with another chapter of action-packed excitement and… Oh yeah. I forgot we just came off a very sad, depressing chapter, didn't we? Sorry, allow me to get serious here.
I'd like to thank you guys for reading the last chapter despite feeling disheartened to see the series main character biting the dust. You never thought I'd kill off Taichi, did ya? Did ya:P He was going to die anyway. I just wanted this to be the perfect opportunity. Guess Saitou has done his job as being a pretty hated guy. C'mon, guys. There's more to him than a killer. He's based off of Shinobu Sensui, a great (and smart) anime villain.
Anyway, you guys want to see a smack down? Well you're going to get it. This chapter will be mixed with drama and action. Will our heroes avenge the life of their fallen comrade or join him in eternal limbo?
You'll just have to read on to find out, my friends. Enjoy the show.
Last time on Digimon Fusion…
Max raised his Jigen-to and came down with it in one gigantic swing. The sword unleashes a mighty force that rushes across the dimension and through the barrier itself. Neo couldn't maintain his dimension territory any longer. He could only look on in horror as the dimension was split in two and cut wide open.
Saitou, charged up with his full Saint Light ki, was flying out with one hand stretched out in order to finish off Omega X.
There was a sudden freezing of time itself once a streak of golden-orange ki light sliced through the Uraotoko in half. Everything seemed to be standing still as if time was instantly frozen. Saitou and Omega X were stiff as statues.
After a few seconds of frozen time, the Uraotoko unleashed a horrifying screech before it was instantly deleted. Finally, everyone from within the dimension was immediately set free.
Suddenly, from the other side of the caverns, Shintomon instantly appeared with Sora and Phoenixmon accompanying him. They had arrived just at the last moment to witness the dismantling of Neo's Uraotoko and Saitou charging ahead to deliver the finishing blow to Omega X. Sora's eyes widened in despair when she saw her husband preparing to meet death head-on without a show of fear.
The first to fly out from out of the shattered dimension were the seven that had transferred their energy to Max. Metalla X, Mystic Celesta, Ultima X, War Angemon, Crimson Gallantmon, Dorothy and Kaiser Greymon flew out in masse. Each powered up instantly with aura flares engulfing them. Max flies out alongside of them. Keke accompanied the boy while carrying along Rei Saiba. Neo Saiba had fallen flat on the ground and was knocked unconscious from his fall. The others tagged along behind the crew. This included BW, Pikkan, Cyberleomon, Sonja, Sakuyamon, Beelzebumon, Mega Gargomon, Zephrymon, Koriikkakumon, Metal Kabuterimon, Magna Garurumon and Loweemon.
All of them cried out for their beloved to move aside from becoming massacred from the Dark Angel's upcoming attack.
"TAICHI!" the crew cried out in unison.
"FATHER!"
"TAI!"
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Max, X, Sora, Mystic Celesta and Rei exclaimed out to their beloved.
Within the last second, Omega X turns around to face his loved ones for a last time. Then, came the unexpected. Saitou's ki-coated left hand punched right through Omega X's targeted chest.

There was an instant flash of light, which exploded across the entire caverns. Max was the first to react to this and gasped out in shock. He had just seen what he never expected to see. The unexpected had finally come into fruition. Soon, everyone else was sporting the same shocked expressions. Some even frozen in place with their mouths dry as cotton. Each of their heart beats stopped completely as time itself froze again. Other than Max, perhaps the most devastated were Sora, X, Mystic Celesta, Shintomon and Rei Saiba. Even Metalla X, Pikkan, Beezlebumon and BW were shocked beyond their belief.
"No… NOO!" X screamed out of anguish. "Not again. He can't be killed in this time either! It's as if history is repeating itself!"
"FATHER!" Max screamed out one last time before his cries echoed across the caverns.
Looking on through the viewing orb, even the crew outside was showing signs of fear and sadness. Their only hope had been done in before each of their very own eyes. Not even Kazu, Guardromon and Kenta were in the mood to crack any one-liners at the moment. Gomamon, Joe, Cody and Digmon were speechless. Mimi started breaking down in tears as she pressed herself onto Izzy. Rosemon and Hercules Kabuterimon were already in grief. There was instant eerie silence. Mummymon fell to his knees and watched the hero give his life up for the sake of his loved ones. Arukenimon held Black Gatomon tightly. Even tears were being shed from Jeri. Gosenzomon fell back in shock while Lady Moinanea was the affected out of everyone.
Everyone, including Sora and Max, were stunned with a mixture of shock and grief. Their beloved warrior had finally met his end in battle. Even the warriors felt no ki from their now deceased leader. X started swelling up with tears in his eyes in grief over the loss of his greatest student and best friend he could ever have.
Max stepped out of the silent group and looked across at his fallen father. He felt no ki emitting from the body and choked with tears.
"No… It's not possible… Not my dad… He can't be… He can't…"
Even Saitou was displaying at least some sympathy for the fallen warrior of courage. His face was slightly twisted with some hints of grief.
"Taichi Kamiya just died."

Attempting Revenge! Battle in the Dark Realm!
Saitou's Lair. 8:00 P.M.
At that sudden moment, one deadly attack had sealed the fate of the one who inherits courage. All hopes had been shattered and every last ounce of miracle was dispersed. The shadows were ready to consume the light and humanity's savior was laid to rest. Eternal rest even.
The mood had certainly taken a sudden 180 ever since Omega X, A.K.A. Taichi Kamiya, was killed and his death was mourned by his loved ones. Standing around the fallen hero, each warrior had their heads lowered to pay their final respects to their beloved.
Taichi. Agumon. Omega X. Forever would be in their hearts and minds.
The first to lift their head up to face the Dark Angel was none other than Max Kamiya himself. His eyes not only filled with tears, but sadness and hatred. His hatred for Himo Saitou had not jumped into maximum heights. There was no longer reasoning with the boy and his comrades. If there was ever a barrier around them, Saitou has shattered it. If there was ever a wall, he has torn it down. The suppressed feelings of the warriors were immediately shattered down in on instant.
Each warrior looked back to the most important events that have occurred in Taichi's life. First of all, Sora Takenouchi could remember the day she admitted her love after her crest first shone during the fiasco with Myotismon. Her eyes laid down upon the corpse of her beloved husband. Tears dropped from her eyes as she busted in angst. She pressed her face onto Omega X's chest and cried deeply.
The warriors directed their attention towards their common enemy at this point: Himo Saitou. For them, it time to avenge Taichi Kamiya and Agumon. Time to avenge Omega X. Himo Saitou had made the biggest mistake of his life. Each Digi-Destined/Fused warrior, Tamer digimon and Legendary warrior was ready to give Saitou the biggest beating of his sad life.
However, there was yet another problem. The tunnel leading to the Dark Realm was at its final stage. Screeches and roars were echoing across the caverns as if the dead were raised from their cryptic cemetery tombs. Hordes of lower level viral digimon were emerging. They included the Vilemon, Cultivarmon, Icedevimon and Devimon. There were even a few Piedmon and Bakemon as well. Himo Saitou was sitting on top of his television with a calm, collected glare across his demeanor.
"There's little time to mourn the loss of your fallen beloved, Digi-Destined. Tamers. Warriors. The first doorway has reached its final stage. The doorway is open."
No reply came from the warriors. The rocks falling from the ceiling and the monsters' screeches were the only sounds that echoed within the cave. Each were dead set on getting their hands on the Dark Angel and tearing him apart limb by limb. Literally. Himo Saitou shifts his eyes directly on the group and started to speak out through the sudden silence.
"Are you all brave enough to lead the way where your late friend could not? Would you all escort me to what lies beyond this tunnel?"
As he said that, the first tunnel was widening at a radius that nearly took up a whole cavern wall. The monsters and demon digimon were starting to emerge in the mass hordes. Max shifted his teary eyes directly towards Saitou. He showed no signs of fear or regrets for what he was dead set on accomplishing. He would avenge his father's death, a brave accolade for a six year old boy to ever consider.
"I'll go anywhere you want," Max whispered. "Sure. Bravery is all we have left."
"We'll go anywhere you want," Kaiser Greymon proclaimed.
"It won't matter where we go, the result will be the same. Your death is at hand," Dorothy hissed.
"Killing a cherished soul we've come to love? You're unforgivable," Gallantmon replied.
"I'm not afraid of you or the great darkness beyond. You're going where Devimon is resting," War Angemon stated.
"May light purify your darkness and send your rotting soul to eternal damnation," Mystic Celesta shifted her blue eyes onto the Dark Angel.
"You don't deserve to wear the blood of Taichi Kamiya on your hands, you monster," Ultima X growled.
"Killing my rival is the one mistake you will ever regret. Now I'm going to carry out his will and take your life as a way to honor my rival's wishes," Metalla X growled before powering up a bright aura around him.
Soon, each of these seven warriors was flaring up with strong, healthy ki auras. Thereafter, the rest of the Tamer digimon and Legendary warriors were powering up with ki auras. Sonja steps out into a fighting stance. Pikkan, BW, Cyberleomon and Beelzebumon prepared themselves for the upcoming battle.
"Execute…"
Without warning, Kaiser Greymon waved his hand towards the other five Legendary warriors. He lets out a familiar cry that his comrades were quite familiar with.
"ANCIENT SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
With a nod, the warriors quickly came together and merged into a bright sphere of light condensed with a large amount of energy. The six warriors merged themselves together and formed the ultimate legendary warrior of peace. Yes, the titan who defeated Lucemon emerged from out of the heavenly light. Susanoomon steps out and sets his sights directly onto the Dark Angel.
"Susanoomon…" the unified warrior spoke calmly yet contained venom within the voice.
Gallantmon's Crimson Form was emitting a bright red aura, which flashes across the caverns. At the same time, he was sending out energy for Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon to take in order to power up their ki. Soon thereafter, Beelzebumon and Cyberleomon were receiving the same energy as the two bio-merged Megas received.
BW and Pikkan powered up with auras surrounding their bodies. A black light engulfed BW while a lighter one covered the Alterian warrior completely.
Shintomon, too, was ready to throw down the gauntlet to avenge the loss of Taichi Kamiya. In actuality, he should have stayed with his lady but he has chosen to stake his life to stop Saitou on his own.
The other five warriors were already gaining a much larger power-up than most of their other comrades. Ultima X, War Angemon and Mystic Celesta were standing together with ki levels higher than they were before. In fact, they had now just reached Mid-S class levels. At this point, Mystic Celesta could easily destroyed ten Virus' at once. Dorothy harnessed all of the data from Avengemon within her and mixes that with her inner ki. Thus making her more efficient and deadlier than ever, perhaps even more than her former D-Reaper incarnation. Metalla X raised his ki level even higher and is now above Tai's highest.
As soon as they were finished powering up, they began to charge across the caverns directly for Saitou. Max gasped out to realize that every digital warrior is taking up arms to avenge the loss of his father.
"All right, you guys! Let's go for it! This one's for my dad!"
Everyone was getting involved, from the likes of Metalla X all the way to the likes of Beelzebumon and Mega Gargomon. They all shared one common goal and that was the complete annihilation of Himo Saitou.
Not taking their threats seriously, Saitou simply nodded his head with some peak interest. What surprised him the most was the sudden ki power-up the majority of the digital warriors received from the extreme emotional pressure from seeing their loved one perish.
"Incredible. The ki levels of Metalla X, Crimson Gallantmon, Susanoomon, Mystic Celesta, War Angemon, Ultima X and Dorothy have jumped all the way to the spectral power of mid S-class forces. Pikkan, BW, and Cyberleomon have become A-class levels. The rest of the bunch is at B-class levels."
"Hey, wait for me, guys!" Max calls out to his friends.
Just before he went out to join them in the crusade to stop Saitou, the boy stopped immediately and turned around. Keke, Sora, X, Rei Saiba and Phoenixmon remained near Omega X's corpse with sadness across their faces. He expressed his final show of respect with a prayer for his deceased father.
"Father. You died a hero's father by sacrificing yourself for the lives of billions of others. You lit our torches over the years, including those for my aunt and Takato. I won't let your death be in vain. I shall take your wishes completely with me. There's a good chance I'll be joining you soon, but I'm going down fighting, because that's what a Kamiya does. We never give up. Rest, dad. You deserve eternal paradise for your selfless act."
Turning his attention back over to Saitou, his blood started to boil again.
"Max! Please! Don't go! He'll kill you!" Keke pleaded as she grabbed Max's arm. "We can't afford to lose you, too!"
"Let me go, my friends will need my help!"
"Max! This is crazy talk! You'll only make things worse!" Sora scolded the boy.
"If it were TK or Matt saying this, you'd let them go! Wouldn't you!" Max blurted out before pushing Keke away. "I'm sorry, but this is for my father's honor. Goodbye, everyone."
With that said, Max powers up an aura and flies out across to join his friends in combat against the Dark Angel in a last ditch effort. Keke and Sora call out for the boy to return. It was all in vain. When a Kamiya's mind is made up, there's no reasoning with them. Sora falls down to her knees and choked out a gasp.
"No… Max…"
"Oh, Sora…"
"Let him go, guys," X sighed. "There's no reasoning with the blood kin of Tai anyway. He has his father's blood coursing through his veins. Believe me. If I was in his position, I'd do the same thing, too. Alas, I don't have enough ki as it is to throw out a weak attack."
"X… I understand what you're trying to tell me," Sora nodded.
"Oh, Max. That is one brave boy. Like father, like son," Rei replied. "He's still fighting when he knows he and his friends may not stand a chance?"
"That's my son for you, isn't it?" Sora managed to laugh. "See what I have to put up with on a daily basis? Tai and Max treat each other as if they were friends or even brothers, rather than the traditional father and son relationship. Max's heart has been shattered and is willing to go all lengths to fight for his loved ones. He's doing this to avenge his father and protect us."
Keke nods as she watched the warriors take head charge against Saitou by unleashing their most powerful attacks. The calls of their attacks echoed across the caverns.
"Let's do this!" Sakuyamon cried out. "SPIRIT STRIKE!"
"GARGO MISSILES!"
While running across the caverns with his hands collecting energy, Cyberleomon sends out an energy ball out directly along with Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon's attacks.
"BEAST KING SHADOW!"
Next up, Beelzebumon, BW and Pikkan unleashed their own attacks directly towards the Dark Angel. They collected enough ki and released their most vicious attacks one by one. The demon biker drew out a familiar demonic pentagram and sends out a powerful energy blast through it to form his ultimate attack.
"CHAOS FLARE!"
BW raised his arms overhead and sends out a massive red sphere of negative energy.
"TERRA DESTROYER!"
Next, the Alterian was next to attack. He slammed both hands together and directly sends his projectile fire/electric attack directly for Saitou.
"THUNDER FLASH ATTACK!"
Leaping across the rock ledges within the caverns, Sonja leaps into mid-air, brings her arms outstretched, cups them together and fires away a non-ki energy beam.
"POWER BLITZ!"
Shintomon summons forth an orb and sends it across the caverns. Once the sphere stops at midpoint range, it shatters to unleash an array of energy blasts randomly at a light-speed rate.
"CHOU BUSHIDO! HA!"
Followed by the attacks from the A and B class warriors, the mid-S rankers were ready to take it up a notch to combine their efforts.
War Angemon flies out across the caverns with his friends tagging along behind him. He cups two hands together, gives a chant and releases a massive holy beam from out of his palms.
"SANTOS-KEN!"
Following up the Royal Knight of Hope's attack, Ultima X brings his hands together overhead and shoots out a powerful blast that scourges across the caverns and destroys every rocky ledge in it's path.
"ULTIMA BLAST!"
Mystic Celesta slams her two hands together, cups them to her right side, calls for a small chant and releases her trademark ki-based holy attack on the Unholy on himself.
"SEVEN HEAVENS JUDGMENT BLAST!"
After that, Susanoomon swung his mighty sword across to directly send a massively scaled projectile attack that sliced through the cavern earth itself. He made certain to keep the length of his blade shortened to prevent it from slicing the planet itself. This slash would only aim directly for Saitou.
"CELESTIAL BLADE!"
Gallantmon raises his holy swords overhead and directly fires away a powerful energy blast.
"FINAL JUSTICE!"
Taking flight across the caverns, Dorothy reached deeper into her inner ki and sends out her own attack that she had just recently achieved. She had used it on Virus to enable Hikari and Takeru to destroy the bio-android.
"SHINGAMI CHAOS BEAM!"
Finally, Metalla X polishes everything off by cupping his hands together and placed them out in front of him. He aimed directly for Saitou and roared out his attack name.
"ICE BARRIER BEAM!"
With everyone of these attack projectiles hurtling towards Saitou, the Dark Angel himself remained as calm as he ever was. He did not even bother sitting up off his television to avoid the attacks. Instead, the Saint Light ki materialized around him as if it were a barrier to protect himself from the incoming onslaught. Any less powerful enemy would have been vaporized in seconds. In fact, the monsters emerging were being fried and deleted simply from the warriors' auras. The attacks combined only plunged through the masses and quickly incinerated them as if they were lambs being lead to the slaughter.
The combined force attack only managed to push back on the Saint Light ki, while it did not effect Saitou the least bit. Rather, a small smirk formed across his face.
"I'll carry you all the way to the Dark Realm like this!" Metalla X screamed out.
"Yeah! Here's one ticket straight to hell you BASTARD!" roared Ultima X.
"Take him out, guys! At least we're getting rid of the weaklings emerging from the tunnel!" Pikkan calls out.
"At least we're not facing the Synisters or we'd be in big trouble," BW replied. "Then again, some of our guys have already reached S-class levels."
"Matt, Takato, Davis, TK, Kari, Dorothy and Susanoomon are all mid S-Class levels. Yet their best attacks are not even penetrating through that guy's Saint Light ki!" Sakuyamon thought. "Rika. Saitou's current power is that of a High-S class. We together will not stand a chance, but we'll go down fighting just like Taichi."
"I don't care if this guy's a High S-Class! He's a dead man walking as far as I'm concerned!" Gallantmon roared out.
"Let's be careful guys. There's no telling when he'll strike!" Mystic Celesta calls out to everyone. "Besides, if he's drawing us out to the DarkOcean, then he must be planning something big. Oh, why of all places did it have to be a in realm of darkness."
With the combined attack pushing back on Saitou's Saint Light ki protected self, more monsters were immediately vaporized in the process. Even a Dark Master would not survive this. All Saitou could do was utter a few choice words.
"Well, this is quite comforting. Not a bad way to travel."
The merged attacks pushed Saitou back and destroyed the final glass barrier protecting the tunnel. More hordes of viral digimon were destroyed along the way. Following the Dark Angel was the warriors themselves. Metalla X was the first to fly through without any second thoughts. Following him were Susanoomon, Gallantmon, Mystic Celesta, War Angemon, and Dorothy. Max managed to catch up with his comrades as quickly as he could. The A-class and the B-class warriors tagged along despite fending off many of the low-level virals attempting to escape the Dark Realm.
"Hey, guys! Now, where are we going! Don't tell me that we're actually enter the Dark Realm!" Max calls out.
"Yes! This is it, Max!" War Angemon exclaimed. "Hang on tight to something!"
"I'll manage on my own! Nothing's going to stop me from getting my hands on that monster!" the boy cried out.
"Here we go, guys! This is battle of possible no return! Let's make this count!" Susanoomon roared out.
"Anything to severe that guy's head and avenge Taichi," Dorothy nodded.
"We'll let Max do the honors," BW replied.
"I don't care! As long as I use it as a trophy to use for my father's ashes!"
As soon as the warriors disappeared through the black abyss of the tunnel, the only one remaining behind in the caverns were the selective few. Sora, Rei, Keke and Phoenixmon still remained by the corpse of Omega X. For some odd reason, the warrior's body wasn't breaking down into data. He was simply lying there with no life whatsoever. Perhaps, since he was a higher level being, it would time some time for him to lose his body.
"This is rather strange. His body hadn't been deleted yet," Phoenixmon said. "Yet, I feel no life force from him."
"He is dead, though he's still human," Sora replied.
"Perhaps it just takes time for his body to delete?" Rei shrugged. "In any case, they went and left us behind!"
"I think it's best that way," Keke stated. "We can pick up from here and rejoin the others outside the caverns. We'll need to take Tai's body somewhere safe."
With the high level powers gone within the abyss, the lake started to settle down and the rocks dropped to the ground randomly after being levitated from the strong gravitational forces. X attempted to sit up from the ground. However, since he was running low on ki and the power from the Nexus emerald, he collapsed and lost his foothold. Rei was quick to catch his fall.
"There. Are you going to be all right, Max-kun… Er Mr. X?"
"You can call me Max. It doesn't matter to me. I'm sorry for keeping my identity a secret but I had to do it. Sora, you must hate me for this."
With a nod, Sora sits up and pats the young man on the shoulder. She embraced him in a tight hug with tears coming down her face. A tint of red covered his cheeks as he was embraced by a woman he considers his biological mother.
"Shh, it's okay. It doesn't matter to me anymore. You're Max. You and him are one of the same. Even if you're from another world, you're still my little boy."
"Sora… I…"
"There's no reason for being sorry. I'm sure Tai understands how I'm feeling," she turned her attention to her husband's body.
"Oh father… You gave everything up in order to allow everyone else to have their chance. By sacrificing yourself, our friends have upped their power levels."
Before long, X let out a deep sigh and collapsed on his knees out of exhaustion. The loss of ki and power used for the Nexus emerald has taken a huge toll on the former masked man.
"Are you going to be okay, X?" Keke asked with worry. "You don't look so good."
"I'll manage, Keke."
"So, what will happen to us now?" Rei wondered. "The hole to the Dark Realm is finally opened. The human world hasn't been destroyed… At least I don't think."
"No, these instances don't happen in an instant. It's nothing like when the D-Reaper destroyed the earth in one energy blast," X explained. "Hell, it's nothing like multiple atom bombs being dropped across many countries either. The battle will be drawn out and those monsters our friends vaporized were simply the first wave. There will be countless other monsters sweeping right after them."
"That's right. There are much more powerful monsters than those guys," Sora remembered.
"Yes. Those monsters were low levels. More of the cannon fodder will fall, but they are not the ones we should worry about. The next bunch will be even more frightening and unstoppable. There are far greater dark digimon of greater strength and intelligence living in the depths of the Dark Realm. They are patiently waiting low until they know everything is safe to enter this world and the four digital realms. Then… They will unleash a far destructive force any other power wields in the Digital Universe. That is how the four realms will be destroyed and how the human world will be finished. They will be devastated in one full swoop."
"But, what about the periphery barrier?" Rei asked out of hesitation. "That boundary tunnel is still intact between this world and the Dark Realm. That's supposed to keep all of the A-class and S-Class monsters from entering. My brother, Neo, said before that the more powerful a digimon was, the more the periphery field prevented them from ever passing through. It still has to be intact…"
"No, Max will cut through it with his Jigen-to," replied X.
"Why would he do that?"
"In order to avenge his father's death…"
"No! He wouldn't do anything that rash!"
"You obviously don't know my son that well," Sora replied. "If he's anything like his father, he'll be crazy enough to cut down that barrier."
"Yeah, that's Max in a nutshell," Keke sighed. "I should have gone with him."
"It's a good thing you didn't. Otherwise, you would be placed in greater danger," Phoenixmon replied.
"I agree with Sora," X said. "He will do it to avenge Tai's death. You definitely don't know Max very well, Rei Saiba. You don't know me very well."
The young man overcame the threshold surging through his weakened body and gazes over to Omega X's corpse.
"The last of my authority has died along with him. I've failed…"
Eastern District of Odaiba. 8:03 P.M.
The two vehicles drove across the empty streets. Luckily for the Inoue family, there wasn't heavy traffic to put up with. Who wouldn't want to blame them? The recent activity of digimon invasions has increased since the last few hours. It simply started with digi-insects swarming the skies worldwide but they were barely visible to the naked eye. Now, there were monsters rampaging across worldwide cities, including those in Japan.
Yolei looks out the window and lets out a deep sigh. It wasn't that long where she felt her heart beat stop for a second. It was as if she sensed the loss of a loved one. In fact, she felt this sudden reaction at exactly the same time Tai was slain. Even Hawkmon was worried for his human partner. She wasn't as uppity or her usual positive self. Her demeanor had completely changed since the loss of Ken several days ago.
"Yolei… You're not acting like your usual cheery self," Momoe turned her attention to her younger sister. "There's something wrong. Isn't it?"
"No…"
"Yolei. I've known you since you were born. I'm your sister. There is something wrong. Tell me, what is it?"
"Well…"
"Yolei. Why don't you go ahead and tell her?" Hawkmon suggested. "You're not the type to hide."
"your friend is right you know. You're definitely the type to speak her mind. Now, what's on your mind?"
"…I just felt my heart stop beating for a minute. It was as if I had lost someone dear to me just now."
"First Ken? Who next?"
"My heart was telling me that… Tai just… Something must have happened to him."
"I can't lie to you, Yolei, but I just sensed a life force that had just died a few moments ago."
"Is that right, Hawkmon? Was it Tai?"
"Isn't he Hikari's older brother?" asked Momoe.
"Yeah. He's the one. Remember he was in your school?"
"Oh him! Yeah, I remember now. He's with Sora, right?"
"Yes. He and Sora are married. They've been married since the D-Reaper was defeated. They have a son named Max."
"I see. Yeah, I remember seeing a picture of them with their kid. He's simply adorable, isn't he?"
"He's quite the darling. My kids often go and play with him when they visit him," Yolei answered.
"That's great. Those kids could use some quality time together. It's good for them."
"I agree."
"So, you think something just happened to Tai just now?"
"I don't know, but Hawkmon just sensed a dying life force. Are you certain it could be him?"
"No lie. It felt very similar to Omega X's ki."
"Stop the car!"
With that said, the elder Momoe sister put a stop on the brakes quickly. She and her husband turned to face Yolei with worried glances.
"Yolei…? Are you sure everything is ok? Can we do anything to help?"
"No, if what Hawkmon says is true, I can't stay here. My friends will need me."
"Oh, Yolei… Can't you just stay with us? The monster activity out there is probably going to get more serious with these reports coming in through the radio. The cities worldwide are becoming hectic."
"Military forces are being deployed to combat these menaces," the woman's husband, Kentaro, stated. "You would be crazy if you went out with your baby."
"I'm leaving her with you," Yolei said. "Even I'm not stupid enough to risk my children."
"There has to be another way," Momoe sighed.
"I'm afraid there isn't it. If Tai is gone, then we're in serious trouble. That tunnel will be opened and all hell will eventually break loose," the purple-haired woman thought.
Back inside the van, the children were quick to feel out the dying ki. Sam, David, Tike and Kara knew who had died just now. Even Wormmon recognized the deceased power level.
"So it is Max's dad," David said. "This is bad. I thought his dad was supposed to be invincible. That's what Max would always brag about."
"You mean to tell me this maniac killed Max's dad?" Sam wondered. "That means we're screwed if those monsters come out of that tunnel."
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to let my uncle's death go in vain," Tike growled. "Kara! Are you with me!"
"Let's do it!"
"Hold on you two!" Wormmon stopped the twins. "Please, don't go throwing your lives away like this! It's senseless! Plus, I'm sure your parents will do everything it takes to avenge his death."
"He's right you know," Naomi spoke up. "It would be best to remain here. If he is dead, then we can always restore him with the digicores, right?"
"About that. They are unfortunately inactive," Wormmon sighed sadly.
"What? If they're inactive, then we can't…"
"We can't bring him back, Naomi," David sighed.
"Don't look now, but the grown-ups are just leaving the van," Tike snickered. "This is our chance to va-moose and get out of here."
"No. We should stay here. Until we know what we're up against, it's best we stay here," Sam suggested. "Besides, what kind of chance do we have if our very best has been slain?"
"Well, it's better than sitting around on our butts all day," Kara nodded. "That's for sure."
"Let's wait until we know what we're dealing with," Naomi suggested. "Since I'm the oldest, I should make the decisions here."
"You're only close to being seven," Sam said. "What would you know?"
"I don't know but I know for a fact we must stay here until everything boils over. Ok, everyone. That's our plan."
"Humph. Fine," Tike and Kara groaned.
"Just what is going on in there? I hope mom and dad are fine," David looked out the window while worrying for his beloved family. "Huanlongmon didn't give me this chance to be with them only for them to be taken away from me."
With the children worrying for their loved ones, the monster numbers in Odaiba were steadily decreasing. This was all thanks in part to the efforts of Piximon, Centaurmon, Andromon and Michael's Metal Seadramon. However, this did not mean the threat was steadily finished. The tunnel will eventually be opened to release the Digital Universe's most threatening forces mankind has ever known. Mankind may very well have seen it's final stand as the dominant species with only a short time remaining.
Rainbow Bridge 8:03 P.M.
The warriors of Azulongmon had nearly completed their assignment to fend off the rogue digimon. Most were deleted by the warriors while others were transported back to the Digital World via Michael's laptop. He was fortunate to have brought along his contraction just in case. Piximon, Centaurmon, Andromon and Michael's Metal Seadramon were patrolling the city itself in case anymore rogues decide to bio-emerge.
Piximon was sitting on top of a light post while feeling the dying ki just a moment ago. He was the first to pick up on Omega X's dying power. He flew across the darkened skies and closed his eyes. Feeling out the vibrations from his surroundings, he felt zero ki besides from his own comrades.
"Strange. I just felt Taichi just now but his ki just simply vanished. Agumon's disappeared, as well. I fear for the worst…"
"You've sensed it too. Haven't you, Piximon?" Centaurmon asked.
"I'm afraid so. The warrior of courage has fallen," Piximon sighed sadly. "This is not what we needed."
"I've just been told from Gennai that Huanlongmon is sending 'them' in," Andromon spoke out while landing down on the surface.
"So, he's sent out the Digital World Special Defense Force?" Piximon asked.
"They're called the Special Task Force, but yes he did," the android replied. "It looks like the Digi-Destined have failed in their assignment. The Special Task Force is the most efficient military force in the Digital Universe. They are the elite."
"If they are led by the great Omegamon X, then it doesn't surprise me, Centaurmon," Andromon said.
"So, have these guys been deployed yet?" Metal Seadramon butted into their conversation.
"Not yet," nodded Andromon. "By the way, have you found anymore rogues running about this sector?"
"No. I'm afraid we've driven the last of them back through Michael's laptop. They should be where they belong in the Digital World," the metallic sea serpent stated.
"This human must be serious if he's managed to have slain Taichi Kamiya," Centaurmon sighed. "I just hope his comrades are there to stop him until the Special Task Force arrive."
"If Tai's dead, then I'd feel sorry for that guy. Taichi has some of the most reliable friends I've met," Metal Seadramon. "Or should we really fear the worst to come?"
Outskirts of Tokyo Miles from Mt. Fuji 8:04 P.M.
Once again looking at her necklace, Yuuko held the picture of her children closer to her. She cherished everything about her two kids, especially since they have grown up to becoming responsible parents on their own.
It wasn't until now that she felt her heart stop beating momentarily. For moment, she visualized Tai and dropped her necklace. Tears came down her face and eventually fell down to her knees. Susuma looks across towards his wife and kneeled next to her.
"Honey…?"
"It's Taichi. I just felt Taichi just now."
"Huh? Are you sure…?"
"Something just happened with him. If anything happened to him, I fear for our dear Hikari."
"What do you think could have happened?"
"I don't know, but it's bothering me. Oh, Taichi. What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into now…?"
"Judging by her expression, Taichi has gotten more than just in trouble. Something must have happened and I for one want to know what's going on. I just hope our Max hasn't gotten himself involved in this."
Boy, was he ever wrong. Their beloved son had been slain by an anti-human maniac while their daughter and grandson are attempting to avenge the loss of their beloved.
Outside Demon's Cavern. 8:04 P.M.
The emotions of every remaining Digi-Destined, Tamer and digimon were running high. Lady Moinanea sits up from her kneeling position and immediately starts her trek towards the caverns. Buddamon was quick to snatch her right arm.
"My lady! What do you think you're doing!"
"Please, refrain yourself from grabbing me, Buddamon," Lady Moinanea spoke with a low tone manner. "Do not hold me back from injecting myself into this."
"My lady! You don't want to go in there! Not with monsters escaping those tunnels!" Gosenzomon warned the pregnant demigoddess.
"You ought to listen to the old guy! You'd be crazy if you go in there with a kid due!" Kazu calls out to the female.
"Please, reconsider and stay here with us," Mimi begged. "We've just lost Tai! I couldn't stand the sight of seeing another being senselessly murdered."
"I'm sorry everyone. I must inject myself into this situation. Shintomon even said himself that Taichi is his liability. Well, that man is the chosen champion of mine personally. I owe it to his family that I be there to pay my respects to Taichi."
"Oh, so that's why you want to enter? Just to give your final respects?" Suzie asked.
"I can't object to that," Lopmon nodded.
"Um, you mind if you let another champion accompany you?" Mummymon stepped up while kissing the demigoddess' hand.
"Um…" she replied with an innocent blush covering her face.
…
…
WHAM!
…
Standing over a fallen Mummymon was Arukenimon with a brick in one hand. She picked up the near unconscious mummy and tossed him across towards the hovercraft.
"I told you not to try the 'Mummymon' charm on other ladies, you twit!" Arukenimon scowled.
"At this point, you're going to end up killing the poor guy," Black Gatomon laughed.
"Oh dear. Was that necessary?" Lady Moinanea asked meekly.
"Well, you're a married woman, you can't expect men to order you around or treat you like an item."
"Shintomon isn't like that with me. We're too busy handling obligations dealing with the Digital Realms," Lady Moinanea
"Oh, I see. You're a very busy lady then, are you?"
"Of course."
"Before you go, my lady," Izzy said as he approached her. "You mind if you need some company?"
"Well, I really only wanted to enter on my own, but I'd appreciate that. Would you like to join me, Izzy?"
"If he goes, then I'm going!" Mimi calls out.
"Count me in too! My sister is in there and I'd like to do what I can to avenge the father of Max," Dimitri replied.
"Might as well count me in too, right?" Joe asked. "Coming, Cody?"
"You bet!"
"Let us come too!" Kazu and Kenta called out in unison.
"I should pay my respects too," Guardromon nodded.
"I'll go, too," Jeri spoke up while carrying Calumon. "Besides, Leomon and Pikkan are out to battle that heartless monster. I feel it's my obligation to give my final respects to Takato's favorite mentor."
"I'll go too," Suzie replied as she and Lopmon grouped with Jeri.
"I think I shall stay here with the others," Buddamon said. "However, do pay my respects to Taichi, please."
"Same with me," Gosenzomon replied. "Besides, someone has to stay to keep an update on the upcoming battle within the Dark Realm. It's my duty to watch over Taichi's allies."
Giving an approving nod, Lady Moinanea approved of the humans and their digimon partners accompanying her.
"Ok, everyone. Follow me out. This will be a long walk but I'm sure we will make it through," she spoke out. "Let's make this hasty. There's very little time to spare before anymore monsters emerge from that tunnel. I just pray we don't eventually confront any A-Class or S-Class monsters once we enter."
With that said, the demigoddess lead the entire team through the cavern. It was good thing Gatomon had provided hikari stones to lead anyone searching for a passageway through pitch darkness.
"Taichi. I have a feeling you may not be gone after all,' Lady Moinanea thought. "If I sensed in you is indeed a 'seed', then my prayers were hopefully answered."
Pseudo-Space Between Human Realm and the Dark Realm. 8:05 P.M.
Several minutes have passed since the warriors have penetrated through the doorway. They found themselves traveling across am empty, dark pseudo space in between the two worlds. There was nothing but pitch darkness. Ahead of them looked like a spiraling ring that seemed to be leading to another world. There was a cold breeze passing across the empty space that rushed past the warriors.
The group looked about their surroundings and wondered how anyone could even live in such a dull environment. In fact, the Digi-Destined and Tamers were quite familiar with the areas of pseudo space. The Digi-Destined were first sent directly to the Digital World on their first adventure through a dimensional doorway through such an empty subspace before. In fact, Metalla X, Ultima X, Mystic Celesta and War Angemon were very familiar with using their digivices to be digi-ported from the real world directly into the Digital World years ago. Shintomon helped lead the Digi-Destined and the Tamers through a pseudo-space tunnel leading to the Digital Realm of the southern galaxy.
Looking about his surroundings, Max gasped at the dark environment and astonished. Luckily he wasn't alone traveling through this pseudo-space. Every other warrior that passed through was accompanying him. Like an innocent child, Max approached Gallantmon.
"Wow, so where are we, Takato? Guilmon? This looks like a pseudo space. My dad and I would always bypass one when going to the Digital World via our computer."
"That's exactly right, Takato. I've had my share of experiences with these places. Right, Sakuyamon."
"Yes, so I would prepare myself, Max. This is going to be one bumpy ride."
"Wow! I'm sensing much strong kis from each of you now!" the boy wooed in astonishment. "Like you and Gallantmon are ways past their previous power levels."
"You should thank your father for that," Mega Gargomon nodded. "So, I'm a grade B-Class butt whooping bunny-dog! Well, I'm proud to earn that privilege! Ha! Wish Lopmon were here with us."
"well, don't get too carried away," Cyberleomon sighed. "You're still no match against Saitou by yourself."
"Yeah, go ahead an raid on my parade, Leomon. You wouldn't stand much of a chance either, hot shot."
"Ok, guys. That's enough out of you," Pikkan growled. "Make sure to concentrate and sense that bastard's ki."
"Right. That's much more important as far as I'm concerned," replied Metalla X.
"This is so great! We have seven S-class fighters on our side!" Max said with glee. "Uncle TK. Aunt Kari. How does it feel?"
"I don't feel any different except my ki has risen extraordinarily," War Angemon replied.
"Likewise, X, but I feel I still haven't gone past my limits," Mystic Celesta stated. "With this power, I could probably lay waste to ten Virus' at once. Maybe even a hundred Burizalors."
"Love your new level of ki, guys?" Ultima X snickered. "I feel like I can do anything!"
"Why don't you prove it by taking on Saitou yourself?" Sonja teased her husband.
"Erm… Um… I'll get back to you on that one."
"Never thought I be traveling through a wacky place like this again," Beelzebumon commented.
"This new surge of power has certainly given Susanoomon quite the power boost," Dorothy commented. "That's a good thing, too. How does it feel?"
"We'll need it if we have any hope of avenging our friend," the unified warrior of peace nodded.
"Who would have thought I was once the D-Reaper and I tried to kill you guys? I feel pretty bad teaming with you guys here."
"That was all in the past. Besides, you're different from that monster and reincarnated," Mega Gargomon assured the girl.
"Ah. But, I don't know if I should have the honor fighting along beside you."
"You've been forgiven and become a valuable asset to the team. Heck, you gave us quite the butt whooping when you were that monster. Don't feel bad, Dorothy. We all share one thing in common: our respect for Taichi Kamiya."
"Thank you, Henry. That really means a lot to me," she responded with a blush across her cheeks.
"Ooh, Henry! You made the former D-Reaper blush! You dawg!" Terriermon snickered within the machine mega.
"Yeah. If it wasn't for you, Kari and I wouldn't have beaten Virus like that back there," War Angemon smiled. "Thank you."
"Oh, gosh. Then, I feel worthy to fight alongside you! I'll do anything to avenge Tai. After all, he's the one who gave me life so to speak, and he's treated me like a daughter. I know Avengemon within would agree with me."
"And you're a great 'big sister' for me, too," Max said. "You're apart of the family now. Now, let's avenge my dad together."
"Right, Max-kun!"
"I see and can feel him, guys!" Metalla X calls out to everyone.
"Right! I can see that monster!" Gallantmon seethed.
With that said, the entire group quickly picked up on the Dark Angel's ki. Bypassing through a tunnel, they found a wide yellow net covering in between the dimension. The net itself was in actuality the Anti-Synister barrier to keep all S-Class and A-Class monsters from emerging from the Dark Realm.
Suddenly, appearing on the other side of the barrier was a dark familiar shadow. Its body was emitting the same Saint Light ki. Yes, Himo Saitou had managed to pass through the barrier even as an upper S-Class ranker! But, how exactly did he pass through without getting singed as a single scratch on his armor. A grin forms across the Dark Angel while the group stopped across the barricaded net barrier.
While Sakuyamon, Max, Mega Gargomon and Sonja can easily pass through since they are B-class, the others were not so lucky. If even one of them touches the net barrier, they would be directly blown back. In fact all of the attacks from the A and S class warriors were easily incinerated against the net.
"But, Saitou's an upper S-Class!" Susanoomon exclaimed.
"How the heck was he able to get through unscathed?" Max wondered.
"All of our attacks couldn't even make it through," Mystic Celesta gasped.
Saitou immediately powers down his Saint Light ki and goes to explain the situation behind more in-depth secrets of his ability.
"I'm glad you asked, dear boy," Saitou replied. "My Saint Light ki is holy power. The higher powers of the Digital Universe couldn't use it to block out beings with this sacred energy. The periphery field can only block out digimon and digital warrior ki. As a matter of fact, all of the attacks from Yamato, Takato, Hikari, Shintomon, Takeru, Daisuke, Susanoomon, Dorothy, Pikkan, BW, and Cyberleomon launched were neutralized by this periphery field."
"Even my attack is useless against the net. I should have remembered that," Shintomon said with a scowl.
"Not even that guy's clothes were singed by our combined attacks," BW thought.
"You mean to tell me that he blocked all of that out with just his ki!" Metalla X said to himself within his thoughts.
"Then again, you guys should all be thrilled," the Dark Angel spoke fondly. "This periphery field only reacts to A-class spectral power or higher, after all."
Giving a scowl, Pikkan was preparing to attack head on without even thinking about the consequences.
"In other words, ironically enough, by means of Taichi Kamiya's death, your base powers have been awakened. However, unfortunately for you guys, as a result of the power boost, you can no longer pass through the periphery field."
As Saitou gives a small laugh, Dorothy walks across directly towards the periphery net. She puts out her right hand onto the net and was quickly blown back a little. An electrical surge coursed through her right hand. It was slightly burnt from the net's mystic power. She nodded her head and faced her team.
"He's right. We're trapped. None of us can even teleport through."
"Well then, Max Kamiya, your Jigen-to is the only thing that can cut through this periphery field," Saitou reminded the boy.
"Ha! Since I'm B-Class, I can pass through with Davis' girl, Beelzebumon, Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon! We can still make it through on our own!"
"Humph. If your father couldn't take me on, what makes you think you stand a chance in hell?"
"We'll see when we get there! JIGEN-TO!"
Leaping across towards the peripheral wall, the boy summoned forth his supped ki sword. He comes down with one mighty swing and easily slices through the net like butter. He makes direct eye contact with his father's murderer and gives him a dark glare.
"If I wanted, I can handle you myself! Even if I die, my friends here can still use your skull as an urn for my father's ashes."
Giving another grin, Saitou flies out across beyond the pseudo-space and directly towards the doorway leading to the actual Dark Realm. The warriors gave chase after Saitou by taking flight. Metalla X was ahead of everyone with one goal in mind: kill Himo Saitou at any cost.
"This is where I end your damn life, Saitou! PREPARE YOURSELF! HA!" Metalla X roared before exploding with a ki aura coating his body.
One by one, each digimon and digital warrior flared up with auras.
"You're reading lead!" Beelzebumon loaded his double barrel. "I've got one with your name signed on it."
"Father! It won't be long before we avenge you!" Max thought while he wielded his Jigen-to in one hand.
With the warriors hot on his treks, Saitou looked across ahead of him to find a blinding source of dark light emerging. Yes, they were getting closer. It would only be a matter of time before the eventual showdown would commence. There was no turning back now. The warriors have taken up arms and are willing to risk their lives to protect many others praying for their victory.
However, that was not the case in one realm. There was an individual preparing to send in his own aides to stop this upcoming future Synister threat.
? Center of the Four Digital Realms ?
Deep within the Japanese-temple styled royal chambers, the head sovereign had no patience to put his faith on the digital warriors any longer. The tunnel has been opened and he couldn't hope to rely on X's comrades. He would take matters to his own hands, but there was something else that had bothered him. It dealt with Taichi Kamiya/Agumon/Omega X.
Huanlongmon levitated slowly away from his throne and lands across from his royal doors. Duane, Keke and the others gave their salutes to the Supreme Holy Beast before turning his attention over to his aides.
"So, even X and the Nexus emerald was unable to stop the rogue human with the Saint Light ki. This quite the unexpected turn of events. Yes, even I'll admit I was unprepared for a being possessing the rare Saint Light ki. I, myself, have been unable to gain such a power. Now Taichi Kamiya has been slain, our last hope."
"Yes, Huanlongmon-sama," Keke replied. "But his comrades are going out to stop Saitou on their own. Seven of them have already reached the S-class power levels and many of them have become A-class warriors. That should be sufficient to stop that madman."
"No, that's what I'm afraid of. Shintomon is with them. If he dies, I'm left in charge since Gosenzomon has retired his power. I can no longer trust a cataclysmic disaster of that magnitude in the hands of Taichi's comrades. The human with the Saint Light ki will pose a threat to everyone within the four digital realms."
"So, what were you considering?" Tike and Kara asked.
"Yeah, I mean you can't put anymore faith in those guys? I mean, most of them are strong enough to take apart the digital universe's greatest threats!" Sam attempted to get Huanlongmon to reconsider.
"I'd know your role and shut it, kid. This is Huanlongmon's decision," Duane scoffed.
"Taichi is no longer of this case since he has died," Huanlongmon stated. "Azulongmon's coveted digicores are still inactive. I shall dispatch the Digital World Special Task Force!"
"No way! Those guys!" Keke exclaimed.
"Oh boy. Things are looking bad," Duane thought.
"This situation calls for no more delays."
The great beast sits up from his throne and lets out a deep sigh over the ensuing crisis that was yet to come. There was another problem bothering him. It was not just the threat of the Dark Angel. This one concerned Taichi and Agumon.
"It's worse than we thought. X made a very grave error by selecting that human as his apprentice. We, the Digi-Gods, have made a huge mistake."
"To be honest, none of us could have predicted this Saitou guy," Keke replied. "Even you never saw his Saint Light ki coming."
"No…"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"This has nothing to do with that specific human. If only we had known sooner about the other human and his digimon partner."
This statement quickly caught the attention of the crew, especially since Huanlongmon mentioned 'the other human' and his 'digimon partner'. He wouldn't be talking about the recently deceased warrior, would he? What could a dead guy possibly do to still be considered a threat to the four digital realms?
"What are you speaking of, Huanlongmon?" Keke wondered. "No, you couldn't mean, him?"
With those two hints, one would only guess who Huanlongmon was referring to. An even greater threat than Himo Saitou? This would be the sole reason for desperately sending the Digital World Special Task Force.
"I pray that this threat is stamped out before we move on with the rogue human who has managed to infiltrate the Dark Realm. Both must be exterminated before our worlds are placed in even greater jeopardy."
Official DW-STF Base. Unit 0034. Huanlongmon's Territory
A mile off from Huanlongmon's palace was a large facility base guarded by an army of Knightmon and Paildramon. The alarm was immediately set off as Huanlongmon had called forth for the emergency team unit of the Digital World Special Task Force. The units were immediately gathered outside the facility base lined up for direct orders.
A fleet of nine soldiers stepped out from a large hangar base. Each were equipped with special defense armor to protect themselves from heavy offensive attacks and armed with energy-based swords. These weapons were used primarily by channeling data/ki by the user. These nine were highly trained and deployed only for special assignments. In this case, when the Digi-Destined and their allies fail to complete their assignment, then these soldiers would be deployed to finish the job.
The leader stepped away from his unit and stood out in front of his eight subordinates. This specific warrior looked like a white knight with a long flowing cape attached to his back. His feet were long with pointed yellow clawed nails at the ends. His eyes were blue, yet anime-like in appearance. On his left arm was a limb with a War Greymon's head attached to it and the Brave Shield made up the shoulder pad. The right arm had the head of a Metal Garurumon. There was an X emblem plastered across his chest. The digimon is identified as a Royal Knight called Omegamon X.
"As you should know, Huanlongmon has summoned us nine to deployed down to the human realm. The situation has grown dire. The warrior known as Omega X has been slain by the human possessing the Saint Light ki. Since his comrades have departed to combat this threat in the Dark Realm, it is up to us to seal up that broken barrier. Also, we've been handed an assignment to do away with the corpse of the fallen warrior."
"SIR!"
"Let us carry out Huanlongmon's will and restore stability to the human world! Let us make our brothers and sisters of the DW-STF proud! Are you with me!"
"YES, SIR!"
"That's what I'd like to hear! DW-STF! DEPLOY!"
As soon as he bellowed out, Omegamon X takes off in flight towards the heavens with his eight other subordinates. They have yet to reveal themselves until they reach the caverns. However, it is now know that the DW-STF is lead by newly-ascended Omegamon. This version is an upgrade after receiving the X Antibody. He was recruited by Huanlongmon to lead his DW-STF forces for special task work, involving combat and peace assignments.
Looking out from inside his palace, Huanlongmon watched his DW-STF forces taking off into the distance to be transported through an available portal. This would enable them to easily bio-emerge into the real world. With their advanced technology, they are stealthy enough to even bypass Yamaki's Hypnos most advanced sensory systems. Yes, even their network pales in comparison with the technology Huanlongmon's forces were successfully able to build.
"So, you think they'll get the job done, Huanlongmon?" Keke asked the mighty sovereign.
"They have never failed an assignment, but this is the first time I have ever needed to deploy them during one of the Digi-Destineds' missions. They range from the Mid-B to Mid-S class. Omegamon X is the leader and classified as Mid-S class. He is my loyal and efficient general of the DW-STF."
"That's quite the resume. Wait, I've seen him in combat. With his current power, he should take out a lot of the Synisters, right?"
"Yes, but not all of them. Even he has his limits in his power. However, he and his unit are an efficient team. They will not fail."
"Oh, X. I just hope the others have stopped Saitou right about now. If what Huanlongmon said is true, then Tai's body just maybe convasciated by the DW-STF. Just what exactly has Huanlongmon all worried about when it concerns Omega X? Is there something he knows that he isn't telling us?"
The Dark Realm. 8:09 P.M.
The Dark Realm. The infamous forbidden zone outside both the human and the four digital realms. In fact, this is the home refuge of some have the most cruelest and strongest beings known in the digital universe. This zone has been isolated from most activity from the Sovereigns, Holy Beasts, Celestial Angels and Supreme Lord Guardians. The landscapes were mainly barren and dry like a desert. However, there was a lush array of forest landscapes.
Even isolated, the large masses of the most intelligent and strongest of the dark digimon have created civilizations. They have developed their own technologies, even though they have no current resources to penetrate through the net barrier, at least nothing yet so far. Kingdoms and many domains cluster across many regions.
This is the home world where creature such as Burizalor, Lucemon Satan Mode, Demon, Piedmon and many virals were said to have been born. In fact, these names would only be classified as low levels to the mighty S-class and Super class beings. Devimon would be classified as one of the lowest.
No normal human has ever entered the Dark Realm, since the world's air would cause a person to decay and rot from the mere stench. This was said by Beelzebumon, since he was born in the Dark Realm as Impmon.
The Dark Realm is one large world, similar to any one of the digital worlds. It is the realm of darkness where only few would live to tell about it. There are other known regions said to neighbor this zone as separate outside domains. Those include the Realm of Darkness, the Dark Dimension and the Dark Ocean. Yes, it would seem dark has become quite the household name throughout these regions. Yami is even considered an alternate name in case one has no need to refer to it as simply 'dark'. The Realm of Darkness is the native home for King Devimon, while the Dark Dimension is the battlefield where Omega X fought Burizalor to near decisive finish. Of course, the Dark Ocean is notorious for harboring the 'Undersea Master' master, the Cthulu beast, Dragomon.
With rumors spread across the landscape about the recent barrier being cut down, the C and D classes decided to jump at the opportunity to freedom. In fact, every one of these low levels were already creating their own mountain while piling on top of reach other in order to reach towards the doorway into pseudo space. Their chance to reach the human realm was close at hand.
Looking on from the far distance was a pair of higher C and B class dark digimon. One of which was a viral version of an Angewomon. Her skin was pale and her outfit is leather, black. A pair of vampiric teeth appeared over her lips. Her crimson eyes met with that of a tiny bat-like rookie with a devious grin. Along with these two was a Marine Devimon and a Skull Satanmon.
"Man, take at look at those noodle-brainers trying to pile up on each other. Thanks goodness I'm a low level with a brain!" Demidevimon snickered. "Those guys are going to be in for it when the DW-STF puts a stop on their little parade!"
"Yeah. This definitely spells like a trap," nodded Ladydevimon.
"Well, then again. This is our open opportunity. What do you say!" Marine Devimon suggested. "We can escape this rat hole."
"Whoo! I hear the human world has better cheese burgers than what this place can offer!" Skull Satanmon said with glee.
"How can he eat burgers so consistently?" Demidevimon whispered to Ladydevimon.
"Sometimes even he amazes me."
Just then, the demon crew immediately picked up large ki signals starting to emerge from out of the hole leading through pseudo space. Ladydevimon gasped as she sensed an array of S-Class, A-Class and a few B-class power levels on their way into the Dark Realm.
"Whoa! Do you guys feel that!" Marine Devimon gasped. "These powers are freaking huge!"
"Eight of them are S-Class! A few are A-Class and the others are B-Class!" Ladydevimon replied. "There's one with a strange ki that surpassed all of the others!"
"Um… I think I'll stick with the Dark Realm's best cheeseburgers then. Off to the burger joint for me!" Skull Satanmon screeched before flying off into the distance.
"For once, I'll have to agree with the bone head," Marine Devimon replied. "I don't think I'd want to stick around to find out what happens from here. See ya guys on the flip side!"
Soon thereafter, Marine Devimon phases out from sight.
"Yikes! Yikes! Yikes! Wait for me, guys!" Demidevimon shrieked as he flew out to join his comrades.
The mistress takes one final glare towards the mountain pile of lower level dark digimon. In her mind, they might as well be signing their own death warrant. These approaching higher powers will simply incinerate them with merely the flare of their strong auras.
"Oh well. Not my problem if those idiots decide to get decimated. I'm not sticking around here to find out."
Ladydevimon immediately flies out to follow her fellow viral digimon to take refuge in a safe location. They weren't prepared to become causalities in what will soon become a war zone.
Meanwhile, a human-like figure emerged from out of the pseudo space. Saitou flies out across the open skies and marveled at the magnificent sight of the Dark Realm. The heavens were orange-red and engulfed by dark clouds. Following the Dark Angel out through the portal doorway were all of the warriors planning to take part in the upcoming battle.
"Whoa! So, we're finally in the Dark Realm!" Max gasped as he marveled at the scene.
Suddenly, Mystic Celesta felt uneasy and shivered from the surroundings. Ultima X and War Angemon were quick to understand her faint weakness within a dark territory. Her experience in the Dark Ocean were coming back to haunt her.
"It's all right, Kari," Ultima X calmed the female. "We're here. No creep is going to come out and get you as long as TK and I are here."
"Thanks, guys."
"Well, home sweet home," Beelzebumon muttered.
"Well, this place certainly does live up to its name!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "It's pretty dark."
"Shintomon! Have you ever been here before?" asked Sakuyamon.
"Yes, as a matter of fact… I've taken a few trips here for negotiations with some of the Kingdoms' rulers. Let's just say most weren't up for negotiations and came close to waging war with the Digital Realm's forces. Thus, we agreed to seal the Dark Realm with the barrier to keep all higher-level monsters from entering our realms."
"That pretty much explains why you higher ups decided to close this place up," Mega Gargomon said.
"My father has told me stories about this dimension but I never thought it would exist. This is the birthplace of many such as Demon and Burizalor," Pikkan thought.
"The Dark Ocean is an outside domain of this specific dimension," Shintomon explained. "Just as King Devimon's Realm of Darkness is a domain…"
"Hey! Elf-boy! You forget that there's a certain someone who does not want to be reminded of the Dark Ocean," Sonja gave Shintomon a threatening gesture.
"Sorry, my apologies."
"It's okay, Sonja. I'm already trying to get over it," Mystic Celesta sighed. "Not. Even I still have nightmares about that place… Saitou, why choose this dimension?"
"This is certainly interesting," Dorothy gazed upon the surroundings. "This air is very thick and polluted."
"This is an ancient world," Cyberleomon stated. "Older than even the four Digital Realms. Only the world of dreams is as ancient as the Dark Realm."
"Make sure you guys sense out for that bastard's ki! He's bound to be ahead of us!" Metalla X calls out to everyone.
"Don't worry, brother. We'll be sure to sense his ki," War Angemon nodded. "I'm not going to rest until we avenge Tai!"
Meanwhile, far across the Dark realm's heavens, Saitou gazed down upon the landscape as if he were in a dream world. This is what exactly the place he always wanted to visit. It was a dream come true for the Dark Angel. He spread his arms out and closed his eyes to visualize his dream.
"So this is the Dark Realm…? How I so longed for this moment. I've been waiting years to have this opportunity. Ever since I was informed about such a world, it has peaked my interest."
The Dark Angel looks back to the events leading to his peak interest of the Dark Realm. It all started when X himself informed him about the ancient world. It is said to be the birthplace of the Dark God himself and his subordinates. It's the birthplace of nearly every dark digimon, whether they are digimon or another life form.
He closed his eyes and looked back to the small conversation with X about the place.
Flashback
Sitting down inside X's dojo, the young boy bowed his head before the masked man to show his respects for his mentor. X returned a bow and sits down to face his apprentice.
"What's troubling you, Saitou?"
"X-san, I need to know more about this Dark Realm. It has peaked my interest. I need to know what it is like. One day, I would like to experience it for myself."
Letting out a deep sigh, the masked man complied and explained the secrets of the ancient world.
"Saitou. You're such a bright young man seeking knowledge about everything of the Digital realms. However, you know nothing about the Dark Realm. Allow me to tell you the truth. The Dark Realm is best to be kept a secret."
"Why is that?"
"It is an isolated dimension where only the darkest, cruelest and most powerful beings reside. Even the Sovereigns have never entered since they know the unpredictable dangers that reside in it. As you know, the Dark God's second half still resides there unbeknownst to anyone, including myself."
"Dark God?"
"He sets the rules inside the Dark Realm. While he doesn't have the full power to break through the barrier, he can send lower level monsters into our world. Thus, the Digital Knights have been at war with these dark battalions. It's been a never ending war since then."
"So, I may never have the chance to experience this world in my lifetime?"
"Perhaps not, but it's for the very best. As good as you've become as my apprentice, you wouldn't last long against the Dark Realm's mightiest warriors. The powers of the Super, S and A class beings are far greater than anything the Digital Realms would ever hope to defend themselves against. It's our duty to maintain that barrier, maintain order across our realms, and protect the human world. We wouldn't want anything terrible to occur during these times. Do you understand?"
"Yes, X-san. I understand…"
"No, X does not understand. I was anxious to experience the Dark Realm. I needed to go there. As I grew and defected from X's cause, my anxiety grew. Like a spoiled child, I wanted to go to the Dark Realm. But I needed someone to help me to open the doorway. That is where I meant you, Neo Saiba. Together, we would find the one to cut through the barrier."
Standing inside a dark, damp chamber, Saitou peered through the darkness with his eyes glowing a pure white. No pupils. No irises. It was as if he were possessed by an other worldly being. This was the result of him becoming possessed by six other alternate personalities other than his own.
He steps out of the chamber, lets out a gasp of air and finds Neo Saiba waiting outside for him.
"Neo, I'm going to the Dark Realm. I need to experience the realm of the Yami and escape the world of the Hikari. I need to see where the dark digimon live. I need to breath the same air as they do. I need to experience their lifestyle, their laws, their governments and their view of humanity. We will find a way to their world."
Suddenly, his other personalities were already plaguing his mind and arguing with him internally as if there were disagreeing politicians. A demonic face appeared through the pitch darkness of his mind and scowled angrily.
"No! Kill the humans! Kids, women and the elderly! Make amends and fight on behalf of the dark digimon! Fight on behalf the Dark God!"
Another face emerged and his appearance seemed sterner than the demonic face. He appeared normal yet shared the same desire to murder as many humans as possible.
"Let them dig as many graves as possible! It doesn't matter to us!"
Followed by that, another face emerged as an objector.
"The humans are the real enemy! Kill them!"
However, another voice objected to the other personality's need.
"The dark digimon are the real enemy! Kill them!"
The arguing personalities were washed away by a blanket fog of darkness . All that was left within his functioning mind was a portrait face of himself. On one side, there was the normal human face of Saitou. The other half was grotesquely disfigured as if his human skin was melted off to reveal a demonic appearance. His demonic eye was red with no signs of a pupil or even an iris. It didn't even look remotely human. Symbolically, this would be the yin and yang of the Dark Angel. One side represented the Hikari while the other pledged its loyalty to the Yami.
"I could tell that some part of my heart was going rotten. Soon, I started realizing that the eroded portion was who I really was."
End of Flashback
Opening his eyes, Saitou looks across the Dark Realm's red skies and releases a deep sigh of relief. He was indeed in heaven, so to speak. This is what he wished for since hearing about its reputation from X.
"The depths of my soul are shrouded in dark thoughts, but we all have light and darkness in us. If we are all light on the outside, then there is nothing but darkness from the inside. There comes a time when the darkness must come to light."
Elsewhere, the digital warriors were still soaring across the Dark Realm rapidly in search for Saitou. Metalla X was quick to pick up on his strongly emitted ki.
"For a Dark Realm, there seems to be plenty of light sources," Susanoomon stated. "The skies are pretty red. We usually never get red skies like that back on earth."
"Plus, this world is severely polluted! Ack!" Max coughed. "They need to clean this place up!"
"So, where in the Dark Realm are we at, Beelzebumon?" BW asked.
"Yeah, I recognize these coordinates. We're soaring across the Forest of Fools. I was born as a Digi-tama in this section."
"Digi-tama?" Gallantmon asked.
"Another term for Digi-egg," Pikkan replied.
"Luckily, the monsters on this side are more well-behaved than the mindless fools who were stacking themselves quite the tower we passed," Beelzebumon said.
"Oh yeah? They were trying to enter into our world," sighed Dorothy. "Meh. I know our friends back home can take those weaklings."
"It's the upper classes that have yet to enter and they're smart enough to wait until the opportunity passes," Shintomon replied.
"But are the monsters weaker on this side of the Dark Realm?" War Angemon asked the demon biker.
"Of course. We can easily take them."
Suddenly, the digital warriors felt an overwhelming ki rising across the skies ahead of them. They turned to see a bright, golden aura widening around a human figure. Metalla X's eyes narrowed directly and his scowled.
"I've picked up on his ki, guys! You should be able to!"
"Yeah! I see him!" War Angemon growled. "The Sacred Light ki is pretty much a given."
"Look! He's condensing the ki into the shape of an angel!" Ultima X pointed out.
"He gives us a bad name, Takeru," Mystic Celesta spat out.
"He's no angel after what he's just done!"
"Quiet everyone! The bastard is about to speak!" Susanoomon seethed.
With silence overwhelming the group, the Dark Angel levitated backwards with his Saint Light ki condensing into the shape of an angelic form. Saitou spread his arms out as if he were a messenger from God. Like the messenger, he prepared to give them a speech.
"Now you guys are starting to realize what my Saint Light ki is capable of. As you can see, I have no packet of seeds or tricks up my sleeves. I don't need them. I can fly without any strings attached, even without the help of my maker. That is why many have dubbed me 'the Dark Angel'. If we have lived in less cynical times, the gift I'm preparing to give for the world might have been labeled for what it really is: a miracle."
"Bah! You're not talking my style, pal!" Ultima X retorted.
"He's really full of himself now, isn't he?" Sonja scoffed.
"Yeah! You think you can scare us with that 'holy one' crap!" Max cried out.
"Heh. The best part of this ki is that it unifies me with nature. Although, the winds here in the Dark Realm are a little bit difficult for my ki to control."
"This bastard thinks we can do anything! Ludicrous!" Gallantmon growled. "He's definitely no messenger of God!"
"It doesn't matter. We've come too far to turn around now," Shintomon stated. "I, Shintomon, don't intend to run away. In the name of my fallen people, I'll avenge Taichi."
"This one's for Tai!" Susanoomon roared as he summoned forth his sword.
"We're going to finish this!" Metalla X cried out as he powered up an aura.
"Well, I don't want to do any harm to these forests down here," Saitou pointed to the lush forests below. "Let's finish this fight over at that plateau formation over in the distance?"
As he pointed down away from the forests, the thick clouds dispersed to reveal a rocky, lifeless plateau in the distance. Beelzebumon stared ahead and grinned in delight. He was very familiar with these grounds as Impmon.
"Ah, yeah. Now you're talking my style! The Guillotine Plateau! It's the perfect place for the final battle!"
"Well, if that's what Saitou wants, then he's going to get it!" Gallantmon screamed out. "Let's move out everyone! This is it! The final battle!"
"IKE!" Metalla X exclaimed out.
As the entire group levitated down towards the plateau one by one, they waited. The Dark Angel slowly lands onto the surface swiftly with his Saint Light ki still intact. Once his feet touched the ground, his Saint Light ki faded away like mist. Now, it has begun. War would now be waged in the Dark Realm and it would be a battle for these brave warriors to never forget. They may not walk out alive but they would go down fighting-just as Tai did before he met his eventual end.
(Play Mortal Kombat, Techno Syndrome theme)
(The sound of a tong instrumental echoes in the background)
Each warrior's eyes narrowed directly at Saitou. Then…
…
…
…
…
SWISH!
…
…
…
The warriors each moved faster than sound and encircled him. They all swarmed around the Dark Angel like angry killer bees ready to sting their prey. Swords were being sheathed and auras formed around their bodies. However, despite the sheer numbers against him, Saitou remained firmed at the center without an expression of fear.
"I should warn you all that I don't believe it is proper to fight when you've already resigned yourselves to losing. However, because you are fighting out of regard for your feelings toward the deceased, I will respond in earnest!"
With that said, a golden wave of light swarmed across where Saitou was standing. The force of the light pushed every one of the warriors back a few feet away. Even the mid-S class digital warriors were taken back by the Dark Angel's ascension of power. The Saint Light ki engulfed him completely as if he were preparing to undergo a transformation.
"What's he planning to do!" Mega Gargomon exclaimed.
"I don't care! He's dead meat when I get my hands on him!" roared Ultima X.
"Feh! He thinks I'm going to be alarmed at this point like that! He's mistaken!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Yeah! You think that's going to impress us! We can power up our auras, too!" BW cried out.
"You bet your ass we can!" Max cursed.
The boy charged ahead and cupped his hands together to collect a ball of blue ki.
"TSUNAMI-"
However, Saitou increased the aura strength of his Saint Light ki. The force sends the boy flying back until BW was there to catch him.
"Don't even try it, kid. That attack would've been disintegrated through that Saint Light ki."
"Ugh… No way…"
All eyes were directly set on Saitou as the Saint Light engulfed him completely. There wasn't a trace of the human with white orbs. Those orbs absorbed through his body and started to build what looked like armor exterior on his form. A column of golden light shot out directly towards the heavens and out emerged the newly armored Saitou.
The warriors gasped at the sight of the new Saitou. Rather than transform his body like many enemies has done before him, his only changed his choice of clothing. He was wearing a pitch black bodysuit. His chest is marked with white streaks starting from the side ribs all the way to the back. There appeared to be a skull at the waist area as if it were a belt buckle. A pair of spikes protruded out from his shoulders. His eyes emitted a golden-green inhumane glow. His outfit looked exactly like Spawn's without the red flowing cape or the mask. Saitou tightened his fists and adjusted to his new armor. He bellowed out the call of his technique for everyone to hear.
"KI KOU TOUI!"
The warriors looked on towards their armored adversary and felt the ki from him. It had just increased ten-fold than before. He was in a far different league than any of them at the moment. It was amazing how the Saint Light ki could create such a defensive armor for a user, including Saitou.
"Damn! Not only did he change outfits but that armor just increased his power tenfold!" Cyberleomon warned everyone.
"You're kidding!" Gallantmon gasped.
"That doesn't change a thing! He's still a dead man!" roared Susanoomon.
"Feh. Am I the only one not resorting to these damn outfit and form changes?" Max thought.
"Behold my Ki Kou Toui, Digi-fools. I usually call it my Sacred Energy Armor. As you can see, my raised Ki can materialize, to become both a supreme weapon and the ultimate armor! Chrome Digizoid armor has nothing on it. Daisuke, Takato, Hikari, Takeru and Susanoomon. It's quite similar to your own armor."
"Just like our armor, huh?" War Angemon chuckled.
"Sounds like you're saying there's a marked difference in our levels," stated Mystic Celesta.
"I'd suggest turning my ass around if I were you, pal," Ultima X snorted.
As soon as Saitou looked over his left shoulder, he turned to see Metalla X powering up. His aura flared heavily and rocks rose up to encircle him. The warrior of friendship roars out and flares up with a metallic blue light.
"Whoa! Keke's dad is going all the way!" Max exclaimed. "That's all of his power! Man, I wouldn't want to mess with him!"
"So, brother. You've decided to fight and die for the sake of Taichi?" War Angemon thought. "You've already died twice and there will be no way to restore you with the digicores inactive."
Flying across the plateau, Metalla X roars out and unleashes a barrage of fists at Saitou. Each fist were rapidly thrown out but easily blocked by one hand. Saitou calmly had taken advantage over Metalla X's unfocused head on attacks. Metalla X flies up and tossed out an array of ki-blasts down on his adversary. Unleashing his Saint Light ki, the blasts were disintegrated with ease. Saitou swiftly phases out and reappears in mid-air. However, he did not just face off with Metalla X. He had already lifted a knee directly into Metalla X and knocked the wind out of him. Even at level four, the warrior of friendship was easily taken down. He delivers another kick to send Metalla X plummeting down into the ground below.
Susanoomon was the next to unleash his attack. He puts out a hand and snatches Saitou with ease. Putting the tight squeeze on the Dark Angel, the unified warrior of peace was going for the quick kill. Despite his size advantage, he did not take into account to Saitou unleashing his Saint Light ki. The force of the light sent Susanoomon back. The titan took his sword and increased its size tenfold.
"NOW! CELESTIAL BLADE!"
Putting his hands out in front of him, Saitou unleashes an array of star-like orbs. The attack was very similar to Seraphimon's Strike of the Seven Stars, but only with more force.
"SANTO STRIKE!
The stars struck Susanoomon's attack and pushed it back. Susanoomon was sent spinning around until the resciments of the stars ripped through his armor. Saitou comes flying out and pushes him back with an invisible force. The warrior titan was sent crashing to the ground with chunks of his armor shattered from Saitou's Saint Light ki attack.
Following by his attack, Mega Gargomon and Sakuyamon flew out to get themselves of Saitou. Gallantmon and Beelzebumon joined into the fray. The Dark Angel was surrounded by the three main Tamers and the demon lord defector.
"Tamers. Make it easy upon yourselves and just back out. You can not win."
"You took away a man who I considered my mentor and for that I will NOT EVER FORGIVE you for!" Gallantmon roared as his body was coated with crimson light.
"Take this! AMETHYST MANDALA!"
Sakuyamon summons forth a magical spell and became surrounded by Cherry Blossom petals with a symbol in the background. The symbol condensed and forms a circular ring. The shamanic mega sends the ring directly towards Saitou and aimed to dispel his Saint Light ki. However, Saitou wasn't the least bit worried and simply waved a hand and his Saint Light ki dispelled Sakuyamon's best attack.
"What! It didn't even phase his ki light!" the female gasped out.
"Allow me to blow his head off!" Mega Gargomon cried out. "MEGA BARRAGE!"
The gigantic android unleashes a barrage of missiles directly for the Dark Angel. He turns and sends a small wave of his ki to cause the missiles to detonate before they had a chance to hit their target. Beelzebumon used this opportunity to create a pentagram symbol and fires away a massive blast using his gun blaster.
"CHAOS FLARE!"
Saitou swiftly turns, puts one hand out and shatters through the blast with a single stroke of his ki aura. Beelzebumon gasped out in shock over how easily the Dark Angel dispelled his ultimate attack.
"No freaking way! This guy is impossible!"
"IT'S NOT OVER YET!" Gallantmon roared out as he sends out a strong white energy blast through his swords. "FINAL JUSTICE!"
With the energy blast coming in at full speed, Saitou still remained calm as ever. Unlike the three other digimon, this Tamer's power was at the range of a mid-S class strength. It was very strong indeed, but not close to being even with Saitou's upper-S class range. He immediately creates a purple energy orb and delivers a kick to send it hurtling across.
"KIKOU RESSHU KOKYU-HA!"
The energy orb flew across towards Gallantmon's attack and pushed back with great force. The crimson knight gasped out in shock as he realized his attack was easily being overpowered by Saitou's energy sphere. Once the sphere penetrated through Gallantmon's attack, it struck head on with the knight. He let out a horrifying scream as his chest armor shattered into pieces. Saitou flies out across and sends a knee directly into Gallantmon's gut. The knight staggered backward and attempted to catch his breath. Not only was the knight badly hurt but even Takato from within was spitting blood out.
"Tell me, Takato-kun. How does it feel?"
Gallantmon barely lifted his head to face the Dark Angel's glare.
"How does it feel to fight on the wrong side of justice?"
After saying that, Saitou slams his a palm hand directly into Gallantmon's face to send him plummeting into the ground below. He follows it up by shifting to his next attack. His body began to pulsate with a purple aura surrounding his form. With a loud cry, Saitou unleashes an array of purple orbs. Yes, this was what he used against Omega X back at the caverns. The balls all condensed together into one single sphere. He swiftly delivers a kick to cause it to explode into multiple energy blasts. Sakuyamon, Mega Gargomon and Beelzebumon were too slow to even consider to fight back. The orbs slammed against the trio head on and damaged their bodies. For Mega Gargomon, his armor shattered from the orbs' force. Sakuyamon was sent plummeting and left a battered mess within a small crater. Beelzebumon wasn't so lucky as his guns were quickly disintegrated from the attacks. The demon lord crashed through the surface below.
"The Tamers have fallen. So, shall be next?"
With that said, the Dark Angel found himself surrounded by Pikkan, Cyberleomon and BW. They were preparing to release their best attacks all at once.
"Take this, you bastard! THUNDER FLASH ATTACK!"
"BEAST KING SHADOW!"
"TERRA DESTROYER!"
With all three attacks coming in at once, they combined together into a massive sphere of chaos energy. Saitou merely brushed to the side swiftly and allowed the blast to fly across into the horizon. There was a slow motion effect for a moment as the attack penetrated through a mountain range in the background.
KA-BOOOOOOOOM!
The mountain range was destroyed in the process with debris flying across the landscape. Saitou smirked and phased out. Without warning, Cyberleomon felt a force of wind slam into his gut. The brave warrior realized that Saitou had punched his fist into the lion's gut. He polishes the lion warrior off with a kick to his face. Next, he flies out towards Pikkan and knocks him down with a powerful clothesline. He turned and punched BW in the face. Next, he kicked him in the gut, placed his head between his legs, and hooked his arms up.
"You're not getting up after this, Black War Greymon."
With that's aid, Saitou flies down towards the ground below and holds BW tightly with his arms still hooked up. With great velocity, the Dark Angel plunged through the earth below and delivered a 'Pedigree' maneuver on BW. The crater was so deep, it nearly went as far near a magma surface below. Saitou sits up and leaves BW down an unconscious mess. He levitated out from the crater with his arms crossed. Next, he saw Shintomon putting his hands out and using telekinesis to freeze the Dark Angel in place. He felt himself strained for a moment.
"There! That should hold you! Guys! He's ours for the taking!"
"This is our chance, guys!" Ultima X calls out.
"We have him where we want him!" Mystic Celesta nodded as she unsheathed her Omega Blade.
With Shintomon holding Saitou in place with his telekinesis, Ultima X led the charge with Sonja at his side. They flew across the distance in hopes of attacking the Dark Angel when his body is frozen. War Angemon, Mystic Celesta and Max managed to follow along with their comrades.
"Once they attack you, even your Saint Light ki won't stop you!" Shintomon hissed.
"Argh… Damn… Oh wait. I forgot," Saitou chuckled. "My light can penetrate through your spells."
As he said that, Saitou instantly set himself free of Shintomon's telekinesis and powered up his Saint Light ki. He flies out directly at Shintomon and throws out a punch into his face. He puts out a single hand and shoots out an invisible force to send Shintomon plummeting down.
"Even as a Supreme Lord digimon, you are still no match for my Saint Light ki. Now, it's down to the originals."
Saitou turns as he faces both Ultima X and Sonja charging his way. However, the couple had another idea in mind. They phased out at different directions. The Dark Angel was immediately caught off guard for a moment to find both standing out at different directions. Ultima X unsheathed his sword and slashed across at multiple angles in attempt to cut Saitou down in half. Sonja came up from behind and unleashes an array of fists. Saitou put up both arms to block out their head on attacks. They were not just rapid but deadly with their blows. Any normal warrior would have been cut down into pieces from this tag team assault. But, Saitou was holding his own and taking it rather calmly. His blocking was not just fluent but swift.
"Let's for a double team assault, babe!"
With a nod, the artificial female leaps across from the Dark Angel and charged up an attack from her hand. Meanwhile, Ultima X spun himself into a tornado with a deadly, spinning blade at the center.
"Hey, bitch! Over here! POWER BLITZ!"
"HYPER TORNADO BLADE!"
Sonja shoots out a double energy blast from her hands and aims them directly for Saitou. This allowed Ultima X time to shoot across at light speed. The plan seemed to work that is until Saitou slapped the woman's attacks away. As he turned to face the spinning blade tornado. He put his hand out and sends a wave of his Saint Light ki. The attack was immediately halted and caused Ultima X to freeze in place. Sonja came flying out to save her husband but was met with a hand swipe to send her plummeting down. Saitou grabs Ultima X, knees him in the gut, and sets him up for a suplex. He held Ultima X up high for at least a few milliseconds until slamming him down into the earth below. He had executed the 'Jackhammer' on Ultima X and created a massive crater in the process. The warrior was left battered in the crater.
Finally, it was down to War Angemon, Max and Mystic Celesta. The royal angelic knights flew out in different directions with Max soaring across with his ki sword.
"Let's go for it, Kari!"
"Right!"
"Heads up, you monster!" Max roared out. "JIGEN-TO!"
Phasing out at different sides of the heavens, Mystic Celesta and War Angemon cupped their hands together simultaneously. They chanted out their attacks at the same exact time in synch.
"HOLY-"
"HOLY-"
As Max swung his dimensional sword, Saitou was quick to see it coming and dodged to the side swiftly. The Dark Angel saw the angelic royal knights calling forth for their attacks at once. He flies out to attack them head on.
"BEAM!"
The duo shot out a double energy beam directly down at Saitou. However, he quickly plunged right through their holy attacks using his Saint Light ki. He spins himself into a tornado and catches both warriors inside the funnel. Saitou phases out of the tornado tunnel in time to call out his attack.
"REPPA FUUJIN KEN!"
After that, Saitou sends out golden projectile blades towards the warrior duo. The blades pierced through their armor. Mystic Celesta was the first to plummet to the ground followed by War Angemon.
"NO! UNCLE TK! AUNT KARI!"
Saitou phases out in front of Max and Dorothy. The boy and Dorothy were left all alone against the superior Dark Angel. He had taken everyone out of the team, including the six S-class warriors.
"Max! You get away from here! He's all mine!"
"But, Dorothy!"
"I said now!"
(End theme)
Nodding his head, Max flew down across to where his fallen comrades were scattered across the plateau. All were beaten, bruised and defeated at the hands of Himo Saitou. Max and Dorothy were the only ones left to fight off the Dark Angel.
"Well, isn't this quite interesting? A former deletion program has taken it upon herself to protect the life of a species she was obsessed in bringing extinction upon," Saitou spoke. "Now, that same demon has been reincarnated into that same species she once felt had extended their boundaries. Dorothy. D-Reaper. Whatever you want to call yourself. Give up this sympathy for the humans. You can leave here and be spared."
"I'm not about to leave here until I take your head as a trophy prize. Taichi was like a father to me. The boy is like a little brother I never will have. I may have done horrible acts as the D-Reaper, but I've redeemed myself by fighting for the ones I love. Now, prepare yourself, human," Dorothy chuckled evilly. "Unless of course, you want to become deleted."
Saitou remained firm and powers up with his Saint Light ki. He tightened his fists and prepared to attack with great ferocity. Dorothy's body became coated with a red aura and her blonde hair was blowing against the gust of wind rushing past her. Before either warrior had a chance to attack, there was a loud sonic scream screeching across the heavens.
Spinning around, Saitou gasped to find Metalla X reappearing once again with his arms placed out in front of him. He collects a large blue ball of ki and condenses it into a massively strong sphere. He sends it directly towards Saitou head on at close range.
"ICE BARRIER BEAM!"
As the warrior of friendship sends the attack out, Saitou takes it full on without a show of worry. The blast itself dispersed against Saitou's armor. Metalla X gasped out in shock when he came into the realization that his ultimate attack did no damage to the Dark Angel. Saitou leaps up and delivers a kick directly into Metalla X's right side. The force cracked his ribs in the process and caused Metalla X to fall down face first towards the ground below.
Taking advantage of this, Dorothy flew down to help Max with their fallen comrades. The calm Saint Light bearer levitated down to the surface swiftly without a single scathe on his armor.
Even after taking a devastating fall, Metalla X slowly sits up on his knees and struggled against the pain. He wasn't ready to give out just yet. He set out to avenge the death of his only true rival. Next, Gallantmon was sitting up despite his shattered crimson armor. Susanoomon followed soon afterward. Mystic Celesta, War Angemon and Ultima X struggled to sit up.
All of the six beaten S-class warriors were standing. All of the others were badly battered and laid unconscious. Dorothy and Max looked across at Saitou with worried glances.
"Saitou… really is… invincible now," Max stuttered in fear. "My dad… will never be avenged…"
"Don't say that, Max. We will avenge him," Dorothy assured the boy. "We can't… lose hope. But what kind of chance do we have if we can't penetrate through his Saint Light Ki?"
"What kind of bastard are we dealing with here?" Ultima X muttered before spitting out blood from his mouth.
The Dark Angel remained calm and collected while gazing upon the resilient S-Class warriors. They were lucky to have survived even Saitou's deadliest techniques.
"It's a tragedy that your strengths are so half-cocked. You guys unwittingly try to defend yourselves. Unfortunately for you, your deaths will not come easily."
As soon as he said that, each of the eight remaining warriors seethed angrily. Metalla X. Susanoomon. Ultima X. Mystic Celesta. War Angemon. Dorothy. Gallantmon. Max. They were the only ones standing firm. Taichi looms over their minds. Each face contorted with anger and sheer determination. Their chance to avenge their deceased loved one may not even come into fruition. The sheer God-like might of Saitou and his Saint Light ki has proven to be superior over their combined efforts. However, they are willing to sacrifice themselves and die in the heat of battle. For them, fighting their strongest enemy was their only satisfaction. Nothing else was going to hold them back.
Himo Saitou displays his overwhelming, God-like power. Even though the warriors have him outnumbered, the Dark Angel has them overwhelmed on the battlefield in the Dark Realm. This is one enemy that they may not be able to defeat but they will die before giving up. Will they be unable to avenge Taichi's death? have our heroes meet their eventual end?

(Preview)
X: With our comrades putting their bodies and souls on the line against the unstoppable juggernaut, we are left to wonder if there is any hope.
Sora: Until is until the Digital World Special Task Force finally arrive.
Omegamon X: X. Allow us to take the assignment. We shall seal this tunnel up and do away the Omega X's body.
Keke: You can't do that! Why destroy his body! Let him rest in peace!
Omegamon X: You don't realize this but there is a demon seed inside of Omega X as we speak. Technically, Agumon originally had the demon seed since he was meant to be a weapon of destruction. I do believe Neo Devimon stated himself that the little fellow was supposed to have destroyed the Digital World. He lost his memories and became the partner to Taichi Kamiya. Now ever since merging together, Tai has also inherited the seed into his body. Omega X is a genetic time bomb waiting to go off!
Lady Moinanea: What! I'm sensing a great ki coming from Taichi's body!
Omegamon X: You see, X! Omega X is the Digi-Mazoku!
X: I'm also sensing Saint Light ki from this body!
Sora: Tai… No… How can he…
X: A mixture of Mazoku and Saint Light ki combined into one!
(Omega X rises up with his eyes emitting a red-golden glare. A sinister grin forms across his face with a pair of fangs projecting under his lips.)
Omega X: Well, now that I'm back to life, it's time I go to the Dark Realm and kick Saitou's ass. X. Wanna come with me? Sora…
Sora: Go get him, tiger.
Max: Dad! You've alive!
Saitou: How is this possible! You're supposed to be dead!
Omega X: True, but I can't seem to rest in peace with scum like you still around.
Ultima/Davis: Wow, Tai's a half human, half digital and half digi-mazoku? What's next? A mutant T-Rex?
Max: And my dad has a special surprise that even Saitou will be surprised! The next chapter is entitled…
Revelations of the Digi-Mazoku! The Final Clash with the Dark Angel!
Metalla X: You mean to tell me Tai's reached to a new level form in the process!
Damn, what another long write. Hope this one was action-packed. Our heroes efforts were valiant but in vain. Let's hope they can stall him next time. The next chapter is shaping up to be a good one. If any of you have watched through the Yu Yu Hakusho series, you would know what to expect. I'm looking at Youko and Belletiger right now. ((smile))
Oh, by the way, the idea of a cheese-burger hungry Skull Satanmon is a trademark of Ninetalesuk. Also I want to thank reviewer, Gundamknight, for giving me the idea of using the Mortal Kombat movie theme for the fight against Saitou in this chapter. I feel it really goes with the mood where the characters simply want to kick Saitou's ass. :P Plus, it's one of my favorite themes and it was featured on a DBZ music video I own where the Z-Fighters battle Brolly in the first movie.
Omegamon X is an actual canon digimon character from the movie X-Evolution. It's a rather good digimon movie. So, I'll be using some of those characters, except they will not be the actual characters from that specific movie. :P ((chuckle))
We're down to the final five episodes of Digimon Fusion. It's all coming to an end. There's a good chance I might stop at a cliffhanger after the next two chapters. I'm going out of town starting either Thursday night or Friday. Hopefully, these next two chapters will be up for you guys to read. Until then, I'm out! Peace!

Hey, everyone! It's me again! I'm back in school, but next week I'll be taking yet another week off to see my family out of country. I've decided to use up all of my free time to post this chapter and hopefully the next. Sorry to say this but there's a good chance I'll leave you guys off with a cliffhanger. If you thought the last chapter was action-packed, pfft this one will blow it away! Plus, we're getting closer to the eventual appearance of Millenniumon myself (my version, of course :P).
Now to answer a few questions for reviewer, Dark Qivit, before we get on with the chapter. He asks:
1) What does "ki" mean? Ki is the Japanese term for 'Chi'. Ki is life energy inside of every living thing, including all humans. Everyone has the ability to use it. Martial artists channel what they call 'ki' to exert energy force through their attacks and can suppress it through meditations. It is also does not matter what religion you represent since it is inside everyone. Belief and determination are two attributes needed to exploit the ki. Ki can also be used as a weapon, and this has been heavily exploited in many anime martial-arts based shows. Perfect examples of Ki-based warriors are the characters from Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Street Fighter, and many other martial arts based anime shows. Digimon barely have any of these.
However, I decided to toy around with the idea of digimon actually use 'Ki' energy as a primary weapon. Since every living creature can use ki, why can't digimon? So I went with the idea of the digimon sensing energy levels from a far distance (even as far as from other dimensions), shoot out ki energy blasts and fly around. The flight technique depends on how much ki energy is left in your body. It also exerts a lot of that energy. With 'ki', I've successfully molded the digimon into more efficient and better fighters. War Greymon from this series is easily more powerful than the one from the TV show. Heck, Patamon's become so strong he can take Devimon with several shots.
Hope that explains the concept of 'Ki'. Heck! That is going to be explained in the later chapters of this saga.
Well, hopefully that explains everything and answers your questions, Dark Qivit. Now we can get on with bigger fish to fry. Chapter twenty is up and ready to go! Remember, this one will be action-packed the revelation of the Digi-Mazoku will be exploited in this specific chapter. Enjoy the show!
Last time on Digimon Fusion… At the end of his fight with Himo Saitou, Taichi Kamiya A.K.A. Omega X had died. The loss had spurred his friends to new levels of power. Seven of which had ascended dramatically into mid-S class levels. Huanlongmon, on alert as a result of the boundary tunnel being opened, had deployed the Digital World Special Task Force led by Omegamon X. Meanwhile, Max had cut through the subspace periphery net with his newly acquired Jigen-to sword. He joined in with his comrades and headed towards the Dark Realm in pursuit of Saitou. However, having been clad with the Ki Kou Toui, the Dark Angel's power was too great. Victory for Taichi's allies now seems impossible.

Revelations of the Digi-Mazoku! The Final Clash with the Dark Angel!
The Dark Realm. 8:14 P.M.
Deep within the Dark Realm's territory, the skies were once again starting to darken with thick polluted clouds. A bright sun-like star in the background was being blocked out and its radiation was sealed away. A pair of demonic bird soared across the heavens and encircled like vultures. They looked down towards a heavily devastated rocky plateau at the surface.
There was a heavily contested battle occurring with the Digital World's best warriors and the Dark Angel. The battered warriors were severely beaten by a single man, with an extraordinarily rare power known as the Saint Light ki. Out of all the warriors, only eight remained poised and standing. Metalla X/Matt. Susanoomon/Six Legendary warriors. Mystic Celesta/Kari. Ultima X/Davis. War Angemon/TK. Gallantmon/Takato. Dorothy. Max Kamiya. They all set their sights on the superior God-like might of the Dark Angel, currently an upper-S class being.
Lighting struck across the background and brought about some dramatic effect for the situation at hand. Ultima X shook the cobwebs out of his head and was to the first to speak up after a short period of silence.
"Ugh… What kind of bastard are we dealing with here?" Ultima X cursed.
"Does anyone have an idea of how we can even penetrate through his ki!" Susanoomon blurted out desperately. "Who would have thought there would be a human with greater power than Lucemon!"
"Rika. Henry. Fellow Tamers. There's no way I'm going to let myself be defeated this easily," Gallantmon motioned over to the fallen Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon. "Beelzebumon. Don't worry. I'll get this guy for you."
"Dorothy. Is there any hope of making it out of here?" Max asked as he trembled. "We won't even have a chance to avenge my dad."
"No, Max. We will survive and avenge your father," Dorothy kneeled over to him. "As you can see, we're not going to be defeated so easily. You and I are still at least one hundred percent. Let's make this count."
"Ok, then! I'm with you!"
"Kari, can you even stand up?" War Angemon asked.
"Just barely. Ouch, my body is aching… I've never felt anything so painful like that," Mystic Celesta winced in pain.
"Screw this pain… I've had my ass handed to me on numerous occasions. It's nothing new," muttered Metalla X. "This guy isn't the first to dominant me in a battle…"
Saitou looks across at his fallen adversaries with a nonchalant smirk on his face. His armor wasn't even scratched once from their attacks. His ki remained the same as it ever was. He extends a hand out towards the eight standing warriors.
"I'm sorry you guys feel so much dedication to your misguided cause. It pains me, for your hearts are noble."
"That's saying a lot coming your mouth!" Dorothy retorted.
"I used to be a pawn, like all of you. It's not too late to save yourself."
"Well, to tell you the truth… I gave up worrying over death a long time ago," growled Ultima X. "I even care less on how much pain it's going to involve getting there as long as I take you with me!"
"Death is the least of our worries," Mystic Celesta muttered. "All I want is to avenge my late brother! If I have to, I'll make sure to end your damn life by my hand!"
"The first to go will be your head!" War Angemon growled as he unsheathed his sword.
"No! Allow me to do the honors!" Max roared out as he summons forth his Jigen-to.
"Let's do this, kid!" Dorothy nodded as she powers up a battle aura.
"Don't forget about me!" Susanoomon exclaimed. "I'm not out of the game yet!"
"This one's for Tai and my Tamer friends!" roared Gallantmon.
The first to take flight across the plateau was Max Kamiya followed by Dorothy. Saitou steps into a battle stance in anticipation for the duo. Next, Metalla X swiftly phases out from sight. Susanoomon and Gallantmon fly up over the plateau while setting their sights on the Dark Angel. Meanwhile, Mystic Celesta, Ultima X and War Angemon fly up at the center and spread across at three separate directions. Saitou waited for his enemies to attack him at once, but they were going to attack from different angles.
Metalla X phases across the battlefield and reappears towards the end of the plateau's edge. A pair of energy spheres materializes in his palms and he presses them together to create one massive energy sphere.
Susanoomon threw out a gigantic fist across to nail Saitou head on. Pulling out another pair of white swords, Gallantmon aimed to send them directly at the Dark Angel.
Ultima X pulls out his sword and channels through his ki energy to implement a powerful sword slash strike. Meanwhile, Mystic Celesta and War Angemon used swords to transfer their ki through. They were aiming for the same strategic attack as Ultima X was.
Standing his ground, Saitou remained calm despite the sheer numbers being too great. He watched as Max raised his Jigen-to over his head and came down with a mighty sword swing. However, the Saint Light ki bearer vanishes out of sight and caught Max off guard. The boy comes down and sends a single stroke across the landscape. It manages to slice a large portion of the entire plateau down in half. Saitou reappears at Max's left side and knocks him away with a kick to the boy's face.
Disgusted by Saitou's attack on the child, Dorothy appears right in front of Saitou. She throws out an array of martial arts kicks to one-up on Saitou since he too has background on martial arts discipline. She bends over and attempts an uppercut swing. Saitou was quick to bend backwards, Matrix-style, and delivers a kick to Dorothy's wide-open stomach. The kick managed to knock some air out of the girl. She retaliates with a fist to his face. He manages to maneuver sideways. She took advantage of this and shoots out an energy beam directly for the Dark Angel. He comes forward and swipes the beam away with one hand.
The girl charged forward and takes flight across the skies above. Having realizing her strategy, Saitou follows in pursuit of her. The two warriors soared across the polluted skies until Dorothy used the clouds to hide behind. Saitou stopped for a moment to check his surroundings. She was successfully suppressing her own ki, in order to make certain the Dark Angel does not sense her whereabouts. Suddenly, there was a loud sonic scream and Saitou was quick to sense it. He turned to find a red energy blast hurtling towards him at great velocity.
"SHINGAMI CHAOS BEAM!"
The Dark Angel gasped out as the attack came quicker than he could even pick up on. He pushed out his hands to hold the attack back. He strained against it for a moment and that gave Dorothy the opportunity to attack him from head. She came soaring across and aims to head butt him directly into his spine. Suddenly, Saitou smirked and kicked the beam directly through the heavens. Dorothy gasped and immediately halted. Saitou shoot himself across at Dorothy and head butts her in the head. The force of the blow caused a cut to form over her forehead. She was sent hurtling towards the ground with blood trickling from the cut.
"NO! DOROTHY!" Max cried out while holding his chest.
Once Dorothy plummeted through the surface, Saitou swiftly lands to where she had taken her fall. Coming up from behind was Susanoomon's hand. The Dark Angel leaps over the titan, forms a purple sphere and kicks it across at Susanoomon's head. The warrior of peace took the attack head on and was sent skidding across the dirt. Gallantmon appears behind Saitou and slashes down with his swords. Before the swords had a chance to make contact with the armor, Saitou caught them in time and pushed back on Gallantmon. The Dark Angel sends an invisible force to push Gallantmon back. The crimson knight cried out as he attempted to hold his stance. Saitou dissolved the swords using his Saint Light ki. He shoots across and slams a knee directly into Gallantmon's face. Following up with the knee, Saitou shoots out a kick directly into Gallantmon's shattered armor and forces him down to the surface below.
"ULTIMA BLAST!"
Saitou turns around and gets caught by a massive energy blast. It collided and detonated with a massive explosion. Ultima X was standing out across the battlefield with one hand out.
"Caught you off guard, bastard…"
"Davis! Heads up!" War Angemon calls out.
"What!"
Looking across at where the smoke cloud was dissipating, there wasn't a sign of Saitou. Instead, the Dark Angel appeared above Ultima X. He gasped out as the dark one's fist collided with Ultima X's face. Saitou flies across and sends an energy beam to delete his sword. Shooting out a kick into his gut, Saitou forced Ultima X down to his knees.
"You forgot about us!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
The angelic royal knights flew across from each other in opposite directions. War Angemon came soaring down at Saitou as if he were prey and comes down with his ki-coated sword. As the sword made contact with Saitou, a massive explosion occurs over where the two warriors stood. Max shielded his eyes with debris flying across the landscape. It look as though Takeru had already finished the Dark Angel. However, that was not to be. The column of light was fading away along with the dissipating smoke cloud. War Angemon gasped when he had just realized what had happened. His attack… DID NO DAMAGE! Saitou was standing calm with a smirk across his face. The sword was held directly over the Dark Angel's armor. Saitou took advantage of his stunned adversary with a power-up of his Saint Light ki. This successfully sent War Angemon soaring across the battlefield and skidding into the dirt.
"Not strong enough I'm afraid, Angel of Hope," Saitou sighed.
Taking advantage of the distracted enemy, Mystic Celesta came appearing at Saitou's right side with her Omega Blade. With a loud battle cry, she slammed her sword against his armor. The force managed to send Saitou flying across the battlefield. She instantly flared up with a pink-gold aura. For a few moments, she remained frozen and closed her eyes. With Saitou still being forced across the plateau field, Mystic Celesta came back to reality and spread her four wings across. Several orbs of pink light materialized and condensed together into one energy sphere. She calls out for her attack before sending it across.
"HIKARI PURGATORIAL MAELSTROM!"
Exerting a powerful force through her attack, the energy ball shot across and exploded into holy-based meteorites. Saitou gasped as her attacks were coming at him with great ferocity. Mystic Celesta held her hands out and pushed back with more force. Saitou flew across and used his Saint Light ki to shatter the hikari rocks. The angel of light gasped at the sight of her attacks being plowed through easily as Saitou was demonstrating. Mystic Celesta flies across with her sword and aims to slash Saitou in half. However, Dark Angel caught the sword in time and delivers a knee into her gut. The force knocked the wind of the royal knight of light. Saitou grabs her by the neck and holds her high like a trophy prize.
"Thos eyes… You have the same burning desire and will as your brother. Don't you worry. I shall relieve you the pain and torture of this world. You can join your beloved brother in eternal paradise."
"…Tai… I've failed… I'm sorry…"
Before Saitou had a chance to snap her neck, Max screamed out across the battlefield and flew across with his Jigen-to. Saitou saw the boy coming and dropped Mystic Celesta. He shoots out an energy projectile across to knock Max back. He proceeds over to finish the boy off but not long before another warrior joined into the fray. Metalla X sends out a massive energy blast from his right hand.
"ICE FLASH ATTACK!"
Roaring out the call of his attack, Metalla X sends down the energy blast directly down at Saitou. He turns around and slams his right fist against to reflect it back towards Metalla X. The warrior of friendship cursed and maneuvered to the side. Metalla X stops and turns around to be met with a kick directly to his back. Bones snapped across his body as Saitou once again gained the upper hand over even the S-Class digital warriors.
Eastern District of Odaiba. 8:14 P.M.
After a long argument with her elder sister, Yolei steps out of the vehicle with Hawkmon by her side. She grunts and hands her baby, Shinobu, over to Momoe. The sister was wondering what her younger sister had in mind. Obviously, Yolei was anxious to know if Tai was indeed really gone from the world after that strange vibe her heart felt.
"Yolei! Just what do you think you're doing! You've lost it!" Momoe calls out to her sister.
"What's the meaning of this, Yolei!" Chizuru exclaimed.
"Girl! You better get back in the car! Just, what do you hope to accomplish by doing this!" Mantarou scolded the hard-headed female.
"I'm sorry to do this to all, but something has obviously happening to my friends. I can't just cut and run! I'm still a Digi-Destined and have a responsibility to carry out!"
"We understand, but you're just going to leave us!" Momoe asked.
"Of course not. I'm not leaving to abandon you," Yolei muttered.
She gives each of her siblings a tearful smile. Momoe. Chizuru. Mantarou. Shinobu, her baby. Naomi. Sam. David. Tike. Kara. The Ichijouji couple. Ken.
"Besides, Ken would do the same thing I'm doing if he were alive right now."
"Heck, if' you're going, mom! I'm joining ya!" Sam leaped out of the van.
"Can't forget about me!" David calls out.
"Or us!" Tike and Kara cried out in unison.
"Kids…" Yolei whispered. "I knew you'd see it my way…"
"Whoa! Don't tell me you crazy little kids are joining Yolei!" Chizuru gasped.
"Wormmon. It's your choice. You can stay here to watch over Ken's body or you can come with us," Yolei kneeled over to the green caterpillar.
"Of course, you know Ken is my partner. I'll stay here. I can't digivolve without him. But, please… Be careful."
"Don't worry, little guy. We'll be back before you know it," Yolei gives him a wink. "Hawkmon! Ready to go?"
"Just give me the signal to digivolve!"
With that said, Yolei gives a nod to her bird partner and takes out her infamous D-3. As a bright flash of light emerged from the device, she calls out the command for her partner to evolve.
DIGIVOLUTION!
"HAWKMON SHINKA! AQUILLAMON!"
The winged horn eagle crouched over and let Yolei hop on his back. He roars out and flapped his wings gracefully to take flight into the skies above. Soon there afterward, Tike, Kara, Sam and David followed the bird.
"Hey! What do you expect us to do from here!" exclaimed Chizuru.
"Go to Tomochi where Ken and I live. You of course have the spare keys I lent you, right?" Yolei calls out from above.
"Of course, but do we wait there for you to come back?" Momoe screamed out.
"Sorry, but we're in a hurry. Let's go, Aquillamon!"
"We're counting on you to keep dad's body safe!" Sam waved out to his family.
With that said, the children flew out across into the distance following Aquillamon. The family stood by as they watched their loved ones disappear away from the city.
"Good luck you guys," Naomi whispered while sitting near her father's corpse.
"I can understand Yolei leaving, but why did those kids have to go?" Mantarou asked.
"Well, they are kids just like Tai and Sora's little boy. They are special," Chizuru replied. "Having partners with data in their genes can really have weird side effects on offspring."
"Well, looks like we're off to Tomochi," Momoe sighed as she cradled Shinobu. "Oh, Yolei. I just wish you had told me sooner."
"It's not like her to hide her feelings like that," Chizuru said. "Oh, girl… I hope you and the kids know what you're getting yourselves into."
"I'm counting on you, guys," Wormmon thought. "Soon we'll have those digicores restore Ken back from the after life."
Inside Saitou's Cavern Lair. 8:15 P.M.
With war heavily waged in the Dark Realm, the remaining portions of the team stayed behind to watch over Omega X's body. There wasn't a single movement from the body yet X crawled over to place his ear over his chest. He attempted to listen for any heart beats. Thus far, nothing. Omega X was as good as dead. Sora, Rei, Keke and Phoenixmon were standing across with worried glances.
"Why are you even bothering, X?" asked Keke. "He's good as dead. Even I can't feel any life force from him."
"X? Shouldn't we get out of here? We can join the others outside the cavern," Sora suggested. "We can't bring back my husband since the digicores are still inactive."
"I thought they were still with Lady Moinanea?" Phoenixmon wondered.
"They are, but they still don't have any power yet," replied Mrs. Kamiya.
"I don't get it," X nodded as he lifted himself from Omega X's body.
"What's wrong?" Rei asked.
"His heart has stopped, but neither Tai nor Agumon's spirits has risen up."
"That's not normal is it?" Keke said.
"Usually, when you die, your spirit body automatically rises out of you. It works for both humans and digimon. In a digimon's case, they are reformatted and turned back into a digi-egg. In other cases, a digimon's soul simply vanishes into the after life to be judged."
"Wait! Then that means Taichi isn't really dead!" Rei gasped.
"How can that be possible?" Sora asked.
"No, there's no question that he's dead. I just find this so strange. I've never seen a case like this before," X replied.
Suddenly, there was a powerful rise of energy heading directly for the caverns. X was the first to pick up on this and his face frowned.
"So, you've managed to send 'them', Huanlongmon."
Outside Demon's Cavern. 8:16 P.M.
There was a sudden gust of wind blowing against the trees as a silent screech echoed within the horizon. Gosenzomon was the first to pick up on the signal and watched as a bright streak of light shot across towards the caverns.
Getting back to his feet, Mummymon was recovering from the blow he had received from Arukenimon. He yelped out as he ducked under the light streak rushing by past him. The mummy digimon hid under with his hands over his head. He quivered until Arukenimon picked him up.
"That was sure a close one!" Mummymon gasped out.
"Don't be such a baby," sighed Arukenimon.
"In any case, what was that just now?" Black Gatomon wondered. "I was getting some really strong vibes from it."
"It's the DW-STF," Buddamon answered the black cat digimon.
"The DW-what?" Mummymon asked.
"The Digital World Special Task Force."
"What! You mean they're actually real!" Arukenimon exclaimed. "I thought they were just a myth!"
"Well, they didn't seem like a myth when they nearly took my head off," Mummymon shrugged.
"So, I see the situation has gotten more serious than we had expected," Gosenzomon thought. "My powers have already been passed to Shintomon and that boy is in the Dark Realm as we speak. This is under Huanlongmon's jurisdiction. Huanlongmon, let's hope this is the right decision."
Tunnels of Demon's Cavern. 8:16 P.M.
With Lady Moinanea leading the other Digi-Destined through the caverns, the digimon immediately paused for a moment. They had just sensed the approaching power heading their direction. Even Lady Moinanea managed to stop to feel out the amount of 'ki' these powers were emitting.
"What is it, you guys?" Cody asked.
"It's big and coming this way, Cody," Armadillomon answered. "Not sure what it is though."
"Whatever it is, it's huge!" Tentomon, now dedigivolved from Hercules Kabuterimon, shrieked.
"There are nine of them," Palmon stated.
"Who could they be?" wondered Mimi.
"So, Huanlongmon's getting desperate and has sent forth the DW-STF?" Lady Moinanea thought.
For a second, everyone remained still for a moment. Then… WHOOSH! A massive streak of light flew across the caverns and shot directly ahead through the tunnels ahead. Everyone within the group was taken back by the extreme force exerted by this mighty light streak. Only Lady Moinanea was familiar with the perpetrators of the light streak.
"What the heck was that!" Joe asked. "That almost gave me a heart attack!"
"It's the DW-STF," the demigoddess answered. "Looks like the Sovereigns were indeed desperate."
"Wait, who exactly are these DW-whatca-ya-call them?" Mimi asked with in confusion.
"They're the highest elite of soldiers of Huanlongmon," she answered.
"Whoa, super soldiers so to speak?" Dimitri said.
"Huanlongmon? You mean the supreme sovereign over all the Holy Beasts?" Izzy nearly had a spasm. "Prodigious! That's exactly what we needed! Surely they can help us stop Saitou!"
"Or maybe not. Have they come here to…? Oh no!" Lady Moinanea gasped in thought. "Everyone! Grab onto me! I'm transporting us into the cavern!"
"Not in your condition," Jeri stated. "You're pregnant with a child."
"Sorry, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. My teleportation may take a lot of energy out of me, but I'm not going to waste anytime running. Please, grab onto me everyone."
With that said, the Digi-Destined and their digimon held tightly onto the demigoddess. Just as Omega X uses his Time Warp, Lady Moinanea placed two fingers over forehead and immediately teleports out of location with everyone around her. If what Huanlongmon says is true, then the DW-STF was deployed more than just close off the tunnel. They were sent to exterminate Omega X's body for some apparent reason. Lady Moinanea would not accept this and acted out of quick desperation in attempt to stop the DW-STF.
Inside of Saitou's Lair Cavern. 8:17 P.M.
The streak of light soared across the caverns and exploded to cause the entire caverns to brighten with a brilliant illumination of light. Everyone within the caverns shielded their eyes.
"What's going on!" Rei cried out.
"X! Could this be some backup help!" Sora asked.
"I… No, it's them!"
"Them, who!" blurted Phoenixmon.
Before X could even utter a word, approximately nine light streaks struck the ground and out emerged nine figures. They were digimon sent by Huanlongmon. These were the digimon that make up the Digital Realms' highest elite soldiers. On one side, there were four digimon warriors kneeling before standing up. On the other side, four more digimon sat up from their kneeled position. Standing out at the center in an upright position is the general of the DW-STF himself, Omegamon X.
On his right side, a familiar digimon emerged. He was tall, with a silvery armored body, a yellow flowing cape and equipped with a shield and saber. His chest was marked with the same X ensigna as Omegamon X. This is warrior is identified as Dukemon X. Another looked exactly like Veemon's armored digivolved form. In fact, this was Magnamon X. Standing beside Dukemon X and Magnamon X was a Rosemon. This one was placed at a higher echelon level than Mimi's partner. This specific digimon is identified as Rosemon X. Accompanying her is a Dynasmon with an X emblem on his chest armor. Dynasmon X is this specific warrior.
Standing up on the other side of Omegamon X were another pair of familiar faces and a new digimon addition to the team. The newer digimon has the appearance of a knight armored dragon warrior with wings spread across his back like a giant glider. His arms are equipped with strong arms and laser-tipped blades. A pair of horns emerged from on top of his head and on his chest. This newest addition is identified as Alforce V-Dramon X. Standing by his side was a War Greymon with the X symbol marked on his chest. A Metal Garurumon X came walking through in between War Greymon X and Alforce V-Dramon X. Finally, the final yet weakest member of the crew emerged: Lillymon X.
Despite being the least powerful of the DW-STF, Lillymon X's level is equilavant of a mid-B class. Metal Garurumon X, War Greymon X and Rosemon X range in the High B class. Dynasmon X is a Mid-A class. Magnamon, despite being an armored type, stands at a High A class. Dukemon X is a low S class while Omegamon X is recognized as a mid S class. They are the elite and most efficient team deployed by Huanlongmon.
Each of the nine elite soldiers set their sights directly on the opened tunnel. They knew what they came to do and would complete their assignment as ordered by Huanlongmon.
Rei, Sora, Keke and Phoenixmon looked across with surprised glares. Soon afterward, X felt another presence arrive. He turned to see Lady Moinanea along with the other Digi-Destined and Tamer party.
"Lady Moinanea! Guys! What are you doing here!" X calls out to them.
"I sensed the presence of the DW-STF. I had to intervene," Lady Moinanea. "Something tells me that they didn't come here just to help us close the tunnel."
"They can't do that! Tai's friends are still in there!" he snapped.
"Um, I don't mean to be a bother, but who are these digimon?" Rei asked.
"They are Huanlongmon's Special Task Force. Of all the forces within the four digital realms, these warriors are the best of the best."
"Wait! Some of them are even evolved forms of our digimon!" Cody pointed out. "Magnamon, Gallantmon, Omegamon…"
"I'm also seeing a Rosemon and a Lillymon!" Mimi gasped.
"Wow, I see me and me!" Palmon giggled.
"It looks like an emergency situation. In this case, with a hole connecting the Human world and the Dark Realm, the great sovereign has dispatched its finest elite soldiers," Lady Moinanea said.
"Wow, who knew we would end up having more allies?" Izzy shrugged.
"Comes to show we have friends in higher places!" Tentomon replied. "What did I tell you, Izzy?"
"Wait, if they are here to help us, it looks like we aren't needed," Kazu stated. "Darn! I wanted a piece of the action!"
"Same here! It's not fair!" Kenta whined.
"Look at how many of them there are, Calumon," Jeri whispered.
"Nine new friends!" Calumon laughed. "Yay! New friends!"
"Are they strong enough to help us stop Saitou?" Joe asked.
"We won't know until we ask right?" Gomamon snickered. "Go on, Joe. Be my guest and ask them."
"I'll pass. Thanks."
"It looks like Huanlongmon has given up faith on me to complete the task," X sighed. "I knew it would end up coming down to this."
"No, this isn't over until Saitou is finished," Sora nodded. "I'm sure these guys came here to help us."
Omegamon X turns to face his eight soldiers directly. He looks over to Lillymon X, Metal Garurumon X and War Greymon X to give them their new assignment.
"I need three of you to start sealing up the hole right now. Lillymon X, Metal Garurumon X and War Greymon X. How long will it take you?"
"Sir. With the three of us working together, we're certain we can close the tunnel in about five hours," War Greymon X responded.
"Then, you've got five hours exactly to get it done. Is that understood?" the general ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
"All right, get to it immediately!"
"SIR!"
The three X-soldiers flew across the caverns and stopped right in front of the tunnel. Lillymon X stood at the right corner, Metal Garurumon X crouched at the center and War Greymon X was poised at the left corner. They directly sent three beams through their X emblems while they started to work to get the open tunnel sealed up.
"As long as the tunnel is sealed up, nobody can get out. Rosemon X, Dynasmon X and Alforce V-Dramon X. You three stand by inside subspace. If any dark digimon attempts to escape, you deal with them."
"Yes, sir," Rosemon X responded.
The trio swiftly flew across and flew through the open tunnel in order to stand guard inside subspace. They would eliminate anything that manages to pass through.
Meanwhile, Omegamon X, Dukemon X and Magnamon X marched directly towards the groups led by X and Lady Moinanea. The general nods over to X.
"X, sir, are you all right?" the royal knight asked.
"I'm fine. As you can see, I'm with Taichi's friends and Lady Moinanea. I don't understand why but they want to be here to give their final respects to their loved one."
"I see… Well, I hate to be the bearer of terrible news, but… Please, return to Huanlongmon's domain and get some rest."
"No. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going directly to the Dark Realm right now."
"This is our mess and we're going to clean it up," Lady Moinanea spoke out.
"Forgive me, my lady, but you are with child right now. It's best we take you back to the Supreme Guardian Realm."
"But, my husband is in there fighting that rogue human as we speak! I refuse to abandon him!"
"Please, do try to calm down, my lady," Dukemon X said.
"X. You used up all of your ki and lack strength to make such calm decisions," Omegamon X replied to X. "I must insist. Huanlongmon-sama has declared this as a state of martial law. With Shintomon currently not present, Gosenzomon retired, and Lady Moinanea with child, I'm afraid my jurisdiction super cedes yours. I'm sorry about this sir."
"I can't, even if it is Huanlongmon's orders. I will take complete responsibility for my actions."
"X. What's the meaning of this? Why are they asking you to leave?" Sora whispered.
"X. If you refuse to vacate, you will experience something very painful."
"Wha- Are you threatening me now, general!"
Omegamon X simply stood his ground and deeply sighed. He looks back to the brief meeting he had with Huanlongmon moments before being dispatched to the human world.
Switch to Flashback
Kneeling within the royal chambers, Omegamon X looks directly up towards Huanlongmon's intimidating presence. The dragon beast growled deeply before speaking out to give his DW-STF's general the new direct orders.
"Huanlongmon-sama! I'm not sure I understand your orders!"
"General. I am authorizing special measures, for the preservation of the four Digital Realms and the human world. Your prime objective is to eliminate Omega X, also known as Taichi Kamiya."
"Bu-But why? Taichi Kamiya is the bearer of courage! He and Agumon have battled countless enemies for our cause! Omega X is the first fused digital warrior to emerge after thousands of Digi-Millennia! Omega X fights on our side of justice! In fact, if it wasn't for him and his comrades, my forces wouldn't have been relied upon so often."
"…"
"His battle record is phenomenal! He has ascended through four specific digital warrior phases!"
"There is no choice, I'm afraid. After merging with Agumon, he has inherited the Mazoku's seed and it courses in his veins. He has become a Mazoku child."
"A real Mazoku…? A descendant of the Mazokus from the Dark Realm…? Oh hell…"
End of Flashback
After a few moments of silence, Magnamon X steps forward and places a hand out directly towards Rei Saiba. The girl gasped as she wondered why the golden royal knight was aiming towards her.
"Hey, you! Get back!" Magnamon X scoffed as he shot an energy wave.
The shot pushed Rei Saiba back a few feet away and she screamed out before succumbing to a temporary unconscious state. The Digi-Destined and the digimon gasped out in shock over the soldier's harsh actions.
"Hey! What's the big idea?" Joe exclaimed.
"You just shot a girl back! What kind of a soldier do you call yourself!" Cody snapped.
"REI!" Sora and Keke exclaimed in unison.
As the girls rushed over to Rei's fallen side, X growled angrily and stepped up to front Omegamon X.
"What the hell did you do that for! She's just a kid!" X cursed.
"No one is going to stand in the way of our mission!" Omegamon X roared. "Our mission is to destroy Omega X's body!"
These words enough caused everyone to turn and gasp in utter shock. Those vile yet powerful words just came out of the mouth of a royal knight. Sora, Keke, X and Lady Moinanea were even more shocked than anyone else.
"How could you say such a horrible thing!" Suzie exclaimed.
"Even Lord Zhuqiaomon would disapprove of this! I'll have you know!" Lopmon growled.
"That is down right vile!" Cody cried out. "You call yourself soldiers!"
"Even I'm mad enough to slap some sense into them!" Gomamon nodded.
"Sora. Tell me they didn't just say that!" Keke gasped.
"I'm not letting you digi-grunts go anywhere near my husband's body without going through me first!" Sora sits up without a show of fear on her face.
"Just what the heck have you guys been smoking! Tai's been risking his life to save us countless of times!" Kazu retorted at the royal knight. "He's even sacrificed himself for all of us!"
"How can you even live with yourselves if you go through with this?" Kenta questioned their motives.
"No, these new friends are too mean," Calumon quivered under Jeri's arms.
"Unforgivable," Jeri whispered.
"We know about your track record, Mrs. Kamiya," Dukemon X spoke. "Even you won't believe what he has to say about your husband's latest secret."
"What secret?" Sora scowled.
"How can we be sure you aren't just simply going to make an excuse to take his body?" Mimi angrily scoffed. "You need to be exterminated if you ask me!"
"Mimi. Please, don't provoke him," Palmon whispered.
"I don't care! Nobody threatens to kill my friend's body over a stupid reason!"
"The truth is… Since merging himself with Agumon, Taichi Kamiya has inherited the demon seed and has become a direct descendant of the Digi-Mazoku."
"A w-what!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Mazoku?" Keke whispered.
"What's that?" Dimitri asked.
"You're out of your damn mind!" X exclaimed.
"Ok, what proof do you have that my husband is a demon? Hmm? Last I checked he was human with data inheritance," Sora stomped her foot. "He and Agumon maybe abnormal, but for good reason. Omega X is a force to be reckoned with. I for one should know. Izzy, Mimi, and Joe were witnesses to his first transformation into that warrior. They can tell you everything."
"Don't forget about us," Phoenixmon said with Gomamon and Palmon by her side.
"Yes, that is a vile accusation," X retorted. "That's ridiculous! We ran a check over both Agumon and Tai! They have no demon seed in their bodies! Not even Agumon!"
"That's true. I could say the same for the Agumon before him," Omegamon X explained. "Many generations before them, there were no indication of a demon seed, but if you go back a little further…"
"… You mean the Digi-Mazoku's atavism?"
"That's correct, sir. Genetic hybridization with a digimon that only A-class dark digimon or higher can achieve. Since the seed was dormant without being detected, he was secretly able to pass it onto Taichi. Thus, Taichi has inherited the Digi-Mazoku blood, which he gained through digital fusion grand atavism, flowing through him. As of now, Omega X is a genetic time bomb waiting to go off."
"Care to explain this atavism?" Izzy asked. "We're curious to know."
Looking over to Omega X's corpse, Omegamon X sighed deeply and nodded in reply.
"Atavism is when one person genetic information is not passed along to their children, but does get passed down to their grandchildren, skipping a generation. Digi-Mazoku's grand atavism is an extreme example of atavism, where a descendant dozens of generations later inherits the unique characteristics of a Digi-Mazoku kinship. Digi-Mazoku are capable of intentionally causing this to occur. In a digimon's case, they have no genetic parents. They are born in primary village. However, the Agumon lineages are direct descendants of these Mazokus. Their common ancestor is a Mazoku lord residing in the Dark Realm. This lord created numerous of these Agumon eggs by extracting his own data and dispersed them out of the Dark Realm to spread his influence. What he didn't realize was the fact that the creatures would have hatched out as vaccine types rather than viral types. How was a viral able to give rise to vaccine types? No one really knows for sure, but it could have been the result of data reconfiguration over several digi-millenia. What makes this specific Agumon special? He's the only Agumon that carries the demon seed that was left by this specific Mazoku lord. In other words, he is the chosen one. With the seed dormant inside of him, he was raised and delivered to become a destructive weapon for the tyrant Burizalor. Even the tyrant was aware this Agumon was special. That's where Gennai came in."
"So, Gennai took the digi-eggs that belonged to us," Joe said.
"One of which was the egg containing Agumon," Izzy rubbed his chin.
"I remember when Agumon was a vicious little monster ready to tear even my little hide. He was a Botamon at the time," Tentomon quivered. "One day, he would end up bumping his head and lost traces of his memories. We helped raise him to be a good-natured digimon. Then, along came you, Tai and the originals."
"Agumon had bumped his head many years before you kids finally arrived on File Island," Phoenixmon stated.
"Is that true?" Sora asked. "I never knew…"
"You weren't with us when that Neo Devimon creep explained to us about Agumon's past. He was clearly meant to destroy the Digital World," Palmon said.
"I could I forget? I couldn't believe my ears when we heard that creep reveal the truth," Mimi replied.
"Yes, while he did lose his memories… The demon seed remained dormant in his heart. What he needed was a time with death to sew open that seed. X. Do you recall when Neo Devimon arrived in the Digital World and War Greymon sacrificing himself at the last moment?"
"Yes, I do," X replied. "I saved War Greymon before he was deleted. How could I ever forget that?"
"Well, you made the mistake of sewing open the demon seed at the same time. Thus, that allowed him to ascend to even higher levels of power. He needed to ascend to open that seed completely. Another trait of the Mazoku was the extra tail he once had before it was removed. That was all the proof needed to identify him as a Mazoku relation. He is the only Agumon with that feature and he is the descendant of that Mazoku lord. All other Agumons were genetic failures."
"What…! You mean to tell me I revived the descendant son of a Mazoku Lord! Oh goddramon," X thought.
Switch to Flashback: After Neo Devimon Battle
It was the masked man who watched the entire battle unfolded. He levitated down from the tree and faced the entire Digi-Destined group. He makes eye contact with Tai Kamiya and approaches the goggle head leader.
"Tai, I will ask for your cooperation."
"Hey, how do you know my name pal?"
"I'm going to save your digimon's life."
"How? You're not some sort of miracle god."
"No, but I'm pretty close. Trust me. I know what I'm doing."
"Tai. Just go ahead and let him," Sora assured the boy. "I trust him…"
"But…"
"It's better than to see Agumon let himself become deleted," Izzy replied.
"All right. I trust you. Go ahead," Tai nodded.
"Thank you."
The masked man kneeled over the fallen mega and placed his hands over the gaping hole through his chest. A bright flash of light came shining through the man's gloved hand and scanned down the mega's chest. The lost data itself was becoming reconfigured. War Greymon wrenched his teeth as his wound was starting to heal up. Tai look on in surprise and shed away the last of his tears.
"War Greymon! You can go through with it! C'mon, buddy!"
With Tai encouraging him, War Greymon sighed and his wound was completely healed. He de-digivovled back to Agumon. The boy runs over and picked up Agumon in his arms passionately. X sits up and crossed his arms. He had completed his task of reviving Agumon from near death.
"Agumon! I'm so glad you made it through! Thanks, man. I owe you one."
End of Flashback
Looking back to that event, X was completely unaware that he single-handedly had revived the Mazoku's descendant son. At the time, he felt he did the right thing to revive Agumon. Now he feels responsible for reawakening the demon seed from within. The seed from that time would eventually grow as Agumon's power grew through each level ascension.
"You see? Since that time, we were slow to discover it. The demon seed was perfectly dormant inside the little guy. By restoring him from near death, you, X, assisted him from becoming a half-Mazoku life form. Taichi did not become one with the Mazoku until he and Agumon first merged into Omega X."
Looking back to that very event, Sora felt chills when she was the apparent victim of that important event. Her eyes widened with sweat dripping across her forehead. She would still have nightmares about the tyrant murdering her in front of her very own friends. She wasn't a witness to the event since she had died temporarily. She would always hear from Mimi, Izzy, Kari, TK and Joe about the transformation. It would be that event in which Tai and Agumon would first fuse as one being, but mostly importantly a Mazoku half breed. Her death triggered the Mazoku to become one with a human.
Switch to Flashback: Omega X's birth
Burizalor pointed his finger towards the children and it looked like was pointing to Tai but as soon as he shot out his deadly beam, it went straight for Sora. Everything seemed to run in slow motion with the beam still coming straight for Sora. Tai watched in horror and rushed to push Sora aside. But as soon as he reached out to her, the beam went right through her chest and her heart. Tai's eyes widen in horror and fear at what he had just witnessed.
Sora fell limp on the ground and her eyes became glazed over. Tai rushes to her side and held her in his arms fondly.
"SORA! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"
Tai's eyes started to water down in tears.
…
"Ha! Ha! What's the matter, Taichi! Did we lose something?" Burizalor cruelly taunted Tai.
Suddenly, Tai started to quiver with inner rage and clenched his digivice. Agumon watched Biyomon crying over Sora's lifeless form. He turned to face Burizalor and his eyes turned a different color, a darker and redder glare. He felt the same rage of emotion that Tai was feeling.
"Burizalor! I won't let you get away with this! No more! You've caused too much pain already! I've had it with you! NO MORE! I said, NO MORE! YOU NO GOOD BASTARD!"
Tai dropped his digivice and it shattered into pieces. The other children glared in utter disbelief as Tai's body started to emit a red aura. Then Agumon's body was giving off the same crimson aura. The ground started to tremble under their feet with a barrier forming around the duo. Burizalor watched in horror over the event occurring before his own eyes.
"I won't let you kill anymore souls!" Tai screamed. "You hear me! NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Tai unleashes a raging, blood-curling scream, as did Agumon. The ground trembled further and the barrier enlarged. It looked as though they were undergoing a metamorphosis like a butterfly. In this case, they were being pulled together.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
Burizalor continued to watch on in horror at what was transpiring.
…
"FUSION SHINKA! OMEGA X!"
As the smoke cleared away, the legendary warrior emerged with his enraged, demonic eyes set directly on the tyrant.
End of Flashback
Since that event, Tai has inherited the seed of the Mazoku and become one with Agumon. He was the first human to become exposed to the Digi-Mazoku blood. Thus, overtime, Omega X would ascend to new levels of power. His ascension through his second and third stages were simply steps to reaching the full Mazoku potential. By the time he became a level four, he was just more one step from awakening the seed.
"Do you see now, X?" Omegamon X continued on. "If Huanlongmon had not noticed that Taichi and Agumon shared a trace wavelength, with the boundary tunnel, it would probably be too late already. Ironic though, it maybe, it would not have been surprisingly if, under the circumstances, instead of Himo Saitou, Taichi had been the one who attempted to open a hole into the Dark Realm. Thank goodness we came here to prevent that."
"So, Huanlongmon is certain about all this?"
"Affirmative. Forty-four digi-generations before either Agumon or Taichi were born, back when there was no periphery barrier to separate the Human world and the Dark Realm, a Digi-Mazoku implanted his seed of evil within the Agumon and eventually that creature passed it over to a human boy! That seed is not ready to bloom after all these years! This is why we must exterminate him at any cost!"
"You'll have to do it over my dead body!" Rei's voice cries out.
"Rei…?" Mimi whispered.
Slowly getting up to her feet, Rei Saiba set her sights directly on Omegamon X and scowled. She couldn't bear to hear anyone threatening to kill a man she considers a dearest friend from another world.
"Rei Saiba," Lady Moinanea said.
"You shouldn't even be standing!" Sora calls out to the girl.
"You should be ashamed of yourselves!" Rei quivered with tears coming down her face. "Who do you think Taichi has been fighting for all this time? How dare you call him a monster or a traitor! For the human world, as well as the four digital realms, he has continued to fight until now. He's a hero! Who do you think he gave his life selflessly for! This is how you reward him! It doesn't matter to us if he has inherited this Mazoku seed! I can't care! Obviously, Sora and Taichi's friends don't care!"
Listening to Rei's dramatic speech, the rest of the Digi-Destined and the digimon nodded in agreement. Lady Moinanea felt happy to hear Rei standing up for her dearest friend.
"You tell those stuck up punks!" Dimitri encouraged the Saiba female.
"Oh, Rei. You truly do care for Taichi, don't you?" Sora whispered.
However, Rei's dramatic comeback was cut short as Magnamon X appears behind her. He gives her a shock across her back and causes her to become knocked unconscious. This time she would not have a chance to awaken.
"No! Rei!" Keke screamed out.
"You bully!" Mimi gasped.
"Leave her alone!" Sora charges out across to stop Magnamon X.
The golden royal knight swiftly moves across the caverns and sets Rei Saiba to the side. The Digi-Destined and their digimon attempted to stop him, but remembered Dukemon X and Omegamon X were standing at the corner.
"Ha, like we would trust you, kid," Magnamon X. "We know about your affiliation with the last apprentice of X."
"That's enough, general!" X growled. "I revived Agumon after he nearly died, and then I made Tai my new apprentice. Now, we're going to exterminate him! You've stooped low! Listen to me! We of the Huanlongmon's realm are the ones who made all of this happen! What's more, Taichi's son and friends, who have worked together alongside him, are still in the Dark Realm with Saitou. Are you going to leave them there! I will not allow this to happen, general!"
Having heard enough of X's outburst, Omegamon X placed a hand over X's chest and shocked him with a single touch. This managed to force X down to his knees. Omegamon X picks up the paralyzed former masked man and drags him across to a cavern wall.
"Please, forgive me, sir."
"This… is treason, Omegamon X…"
"As for the rest of you Digi-Destined. Don't attempt to interfere!" Dukemon X warned the group. "Lady Moinanea. Allow us to escort you outside the caverns."
"Over my dead body!" Lady Moinanea retorted.
"If it has anything to do with my husband, you will have to go through me!" Sora cried out.
With that said, the red-haired woman steps out across from her husband's corpse and holds her arms out in a protective gesture. Phoenixmon loomed over Sora with her wings spread across. Dukemon X and Magnamon X were preparing to fire away blasts at the woman.
"Last warning, Mrs. Kamiya!" Magnamon X cried out. "Move or get shot!"
"No! Sora! Get out of there!" Mimi screamed.
"That lady has lost it!" Kazu and Kenta panicked.
"Sora! It's not worth it to throw your own life away! Please, reconsider!" Lady Moinanea begged.
"Not with my husband as their target! They're going to have to kill me if they attempt to touch my husband's corpse!"
"We warned you, Mrs. Kamiya. You've only brought this upon yourself," Dukemon X sighed. "Read. Aim…"
Before the X-team had a chance to fire shots, a bright red-golden aura was slowly rising out from behind Sora and Phoenixmon. The digimon felt a sudden ki level increasing. The X-team lowered their firearms in shock and called out to their general.
"General! It's happening!" Dukemon X exclaimed.
"The awakening is set to begin!" cried out Magnamon X.
"What! Already!" Omegamon X gasped out. "But, it's too soon!"
Sora choked out a gasp and turns around to find Omega X levitating from the ground. His body was coated with a mix of red and golden light. Phoenixmon felt the tremendous ki energy flowing through his body. A heart beat was heard echoing across the caverns. The other Digi-Destined and the digimon were stunned to witness this sudden turn of events.
"Impossible! I'm not even sensing regular digital ki anymore from him! Its Mazoku ki and… Sacred Light ki!" Lady Moinanea thought. "How was he able to obtain Sacred Light ki!"
"Sis! Just what's going on here! Since when can dead bodies rise up like that!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"Never… I mean the digicores are inactive. We haven't even used them!" Keke replied.
"That's right. I still have them in my possession," the demigoddess nodded.
"Then, what's going on…!" Joe gulped.
"It's the Mazoku seed awakening!" Cody exclaimed. "It's giving Tai this power!"
"But, why the Saint Light ki?" X wondered.
"Damn! That is Mazoku and Saint Light ki mixed! How is that possible!" Omegamon X cried out. "The resurrection has begun!"
As Omegamon X gave the warning call, Lillymon X, War Greymon X and Metal Garurumon X joined in with their comrades to encircle the rising body. Sora cries out as she threw herself onto her husband's body. Phoenixmon steps over to shield her them.
"Go! Fire! Now!" Omegamon X ordered.
"But Lady Kamiya is in the way!" Lillymon X replied.
"Don't question my orders! FIRE! NOW!"
Reluctantly giving into orders, Lillymon X and the other DW-STF crew unleashed energy blasts from their palms. The shots came shooting directly at the trio simultaneously.
"NO! SORA!" Mimi cried out. "STOP IT!"
"I can't watch!" Jeri gasped as she closed her eyes.
"SORA!" Lady Moinanea screamed.
"NO! GET BACK!" X warned Phoenixmon and Sora.
With the DW-STF warriors continuously firing away the blasts, X and the others looked on with horror. They feared for the aftermath, not to mention the conditions of Sora and Phoenixmon. Thus far, the phoenix bird was able to hold her own from taking their best shots. It's simply a miracle that Phoenixmon hasn't bee destroyed. Her sheer will and determination to protect Sora and Tai's body ensured her survival.
A few moments later and Omegamon X was already starting to sweat bullets. He fell to his knees and quivered tremendously. Everyone, including the other DW-STF members, turned their gazes upon Omegamon X. Suddenly, a familiar cynical voice speaks out from the smoke cloud.
"Whew! Man, you guys sure know how to make a guy feel welcome."
As the smoke cloud cleared away, a male figure emerged carrying a female in his arms. Yes, for all that is the Digital Universe, Omega X opens his eyes and scowls. Sora found herself in the arms of what looked like her husband. Indeed, she was looking up into her husband. She managed to gasp out before Omega X smiles down upon her.
"We're too late! The Digi-Mazoku is alive!" Omegamon X gasped.
"Hey, Sora. Long time no see?"
"Tai… Taichi? You're… alive?"
"Well, technically, yeah. Though I'm still not feeling my heart beating. I look alive, don't I?"
"I… I don't know… You seem alive… Am I dreaming?"
"Does this feel like a dream…?"
With that said, the warrior lowered his head and plants a kiss on the young woman's lips. She eventually gives into her husband's romantic kiss and wraps her arms around his neck.
"Whoa! Whoa! He's alive!" Keke exclaimed. "How can he be alive!"
"Yeah! We clearly saw him die!" Dimitri cried out.
"Sora! You're all right, but… Tai! You're alive! But, how! We didn't even use the digicores!" Mimi gasped in shock.
"We didn't, remember?" Cody reminded her. "The Mazoku within him has given him new life. I know it's hard to believe, but he's back on his feet. That's proof enough to know that he's no longer a dead guy."
"Well, that's Tai for ya!" Gomamon remarked.
"Taichi! I knew I felt something strange about you!" Lady Moinanea calls out. "You couldn't have died that easily!"
"What's with all this talk about death? Geez, it's already making me nervous seeing how I kicked the bucket," Omega X nodded.
As Omega X set Sora down, he gives Phoenixmon a nice pat on her head before setting his sights directly on the DW-STF with eyes emitting a red-golden glare.
"There, there, Phoenixmon. Thanks for protecting Sora and my body like that. I can always rely on you. Now, as for you jerks. Even though I was dead, I could hear every last half of what you were saying. So, Agumon is kind of descendant of a Digi-Mazoku lord? That makes me apart of the same fold too, huh?" Omega X grins with a pair of fangs appearing under his lips. "So, that makes me an evil, vicious monster?"
The warrior steps forward calmly. Both War Greymon X and Metal Garurumon X jump back with warning.
"That explains why I feel so invigorated now. It means I've been reborn."
Immediately following those comments, a bright mixture of red and yellow ki light radiated out around Omega X's body. The digimon gasped as they felt the enormous amount of ki he was giving off currently. It was greater than it has ever been before. Omegamon X gasped in shock over how quickly Omega X's power has grown tremendously since his resurrection.
"You see, X!" the general exclaimed. "You see how strong his Mazoku ki really is! In fact, he has a faint dosage of Saint Light ki, too!"
"What? No! Not Tai!" X cried out.
Once Omega X's aura died down, the DW-STF started to halt back with frightened glares across their faces. Even they haven't felt a ki this powerful. Not even the strongest A-class monsters they've fought had a ki as powerful as Omega X was giving off.
"General! With our level of power, there's no way we can stand against it anymore!" Magnamon X warned his superior.
"It, you say? Who do you think you're talking about, weakling?" Omega X snickered. "Bow to your master right here! Who do you take me for!"
At the moment, Sora couldn't help but giggle. She cupped her mouth and tried to suppress her laughter.
"Stupid, Tai…"
"Wow, those guys are wussing out in front of Max's dad," Keke chuckled. "Yeah! Bow to the master!"
"I… I still can't believe this!" Izzy exclaimed. "But, this is not scientifically possible!"
"Then again. Neither is resurrecting people with magical digicores," Joe replied.
"You know what I desire? It's ending the universe and everything in it!" Omega X chuckled. "I am the great Mazoku lord! I carry the blood of the Devil through my veins!"
"Getting a little overdramatic, aren't we?" Mimi nodded. "Can't believe those guys are freaking out over a little joke."
"And now… After hibernating after more than many Digi-millennia, I can finally reveal my true form… HA! HA! HA! HA!"
As Omega X laughed, a pair of demonic canines enlarged in his mouth and he unleashes an evil, malicious laughter. This was more than enough to cause the majority of the DW-STF to flee.
"Help! He's going to kill us!" Magnamon X exclaimed.
"I think I cherish my life more than this job!" Metal Garurumon X calls out.
"Wait for me, guys! EEK!" Lillymon X shrieked.
Just as they raced across the caverns, Omega X gives off a goofy face and twirled around like a ballerina.
"PSYCH! Damn, you idiots are so gullible!"
The DW-STF crew face faulted on the ground after realizing that they were made fools of. The Digi-Destined and the digimon couldn't help but laugh at the warrior's little prank.
"Oh man! What a bunch of maroons!" Kazu snickered.
"I knew he was kidding this whole time," Kenta said as he wiped his forehead.
"Then, why were you all sweaty?" Suzie asked.
"Just the hot air in this damp place… Yuck."
"That was a good one, Tai!" Keke giggled.
"I have to admit. That was quite a creative performance, Taichi," Lady Moinanea giggled. "You almost had me there. It's good to know you're alive again. Even my prophecy didn't see this coming… Except for the last bit about the demonic messiah to rise up to challenge the Dark Angel."
Sora couldn't help but laugh and steps over to her husband's side.
"That was quite the show, stupid Tai."
"Hey, I had to bring about a tremendous impact, right? Besides, the mood here was a little too depressive for me."
Omega X suppressed his giggles and looks over to X with a worried glance.
"Hey, X! You really didn't think I'd turn bad, right?"
"Of course not!"
"Well, in any case, I better get to the Dark Realm. My friends must be having a hard time against Saitou right about now. He gave me death as a gift and I would be a jerk if I didn't return the favor."
"You can't go anywhere! You have to be quarantined!" Omegamon X blurted out.
"You even attempt to touch me and I'll eat you right up," Omega X scowled as he bared his fangs. "I'll bite off your head!"
"So, what are you planning to do by going to the Dark Realm? You've become a Mazoku menace!"
"Eh! Oh, shove it! I'm the fusion of Taichi Kamiya and Agumon! Don't you forget that! Whether I'm an ass-kicking hero or a Mazoku, I'm still the same goofy and heart-warming guy!" Omega X mused. "I don't care if my ancestors were Mazokus. It doesn't change the fact that my big goal right now is kicking Saitou's candy ass!"
"Ha! That's the Tai I know! Hang on! I'm coming with you!" X exclaimed.
"Me, too!" Sora nodded. "Can't leave the princess behind, can you?"
"If they go, then I'm going!" Keke said. "Let's go, bro!"
"Right behind ya!" replied Dimitri.
"Don't forget us, Digi-Destined!" Mimi calls out. "We're going to be witnesses to this too!"
Omegamon X puts out his War Greymon arm to stop X at his trek.
"Hold on, X! You can't go! You'll be directly violating Huanlongmon's orders! Besides, you'll be-"
Before Omegamon X had a chance to finish his sentence, Omega X steps out in front of Omegamon X and chops his hands down toward his crotch, while giving the royal knight a DX-style crotch chop.
"Pass this to Huanlongmon for me!" Omega X snorted. "Of course, you know I've got two words for him, but now's not the time to say anything of the sort."
Giving a nod to his comrades, Omega X steps out in front of Phoenixmon. X, Lady Moinanea and Sora each hop on top of Phoenixmon's back. Keke and Dimitri take flight to join with their comrades. Palmon, Gomamon, Tentomon, Armadillomon and Lopmon prepare to digivolve to their most efficient evolution forms.
MEGA DIGIVOLUTION!
"TENTOMON WARP SHINKA! HERCULES KABUTERIMON!"
"PALMON WARP SHINKA! ROSEMON!"
DIGIVOLUTION!
"ARMADILLOMON SHINKA! ANKLYOMON!"
"GOMAMON CHOU SHINKA! ZUDOMON!"
"LOPMON CHOU SHINKA! ANTIRAMON!"
Cody, Joe, Mimi, Izzy and Suzie hop aboard on their respective digimon partners. Jeri went ahead to join Suzie while carrying Calumon. Kazu and Kenta hitched a ride on Guardromon with Marine Angemon hiding inside Kenta's pocket.
Omega X looks over to Rei Saiba's body. Using his Time Warp, he teleports over and picks her up. The DW-STF remained on standby while Omegamon X calls out to X.
"X! Sir! Don't do this!"
"Tell Huanlongmon that he can fire me and get rid of me! Whatever he wants! I don't freaking care anymore!"
Omega X levitates over to Phoenixmon and places her gently on the legendary bird's back. He gives an approving nod to Lady Moinanea.
"You'll watch over her?"
"Of course, Taichi."
"Good. Everything's settled and the whole gang is together! All right! Off to the Dark Realm, everyone!"
Quickly flaring up with a new aura, Omega X quickly flies out through the open tunnel. Phoenixmon and the other digimon carriers followed along behind him. The DW-STF didn't even attempt to stop them since they would be dealing with a newly awakened Mazoku Omega X.
"WHOO HOO! RIDE 'EM AWAY!" Kazu cried out for the whole cavern to hear.
The flying crew found themselves soaring across the subspace zone. Phoenixmon managed to catch up with Omega X since the warrior was slowing down for everyone to catch up.
"Now, listen, Tai! We may not be able to make it back to the real world if we do this," X warned his apprentice.
"Yeah, that's really something you should consider, Tai," Sora replied.
"Yeah, I know! After this, after that! We'll worry about that once I'm done kicking Saitou's ass!"
X couldn't help but snicker and managed to reply, "Tai! You are irrational as ever! That's the Tai I grew to like!"
"Ha! Like I'm going to give that up! It's what makes this job so damn fun! Hurry up, guys, or we're leaving without you!"
Excitedly calling out like a crazed child, Omega X wooed across the tunnel and laughed.
"Oh yeah! Taichi Kamiya is back in the game! I'm coming for you, Saitou!"

Meanwhile, deep on the other side of where the net was cut down, Rosemon X, Dynasmon X and Alforce V-Dramon X were patrolling for anything that passes through from the Dark Realm. Dynasmon X examines the net and nods his head.
"We were told to put down any dark digimon that pass through here," Dynasmon X sighed. "There hasn't been a single one."
"There's no way they're coming," Alforce V-Dramon X replied. "They're sensing our intense ki halfway here, and turning back like dogs with their tails between their legs. Even A-class beings can't touch us. Heh, we're their 'boogie men'."
"Ugh, are you bragging about the time you chased down that Hazard beast again?" Dynasmon groaned. "You're so full of yourself."
"Shut up. I don't want to hear it."
Just then, Rosemon X felt a strong vibe coming from the other side where the human world was positioned at. She turns around and gasped in shock. Her two comrades took notice of her sudden alarm.
"Something with immense Mazoku ki is heading this way!" Rosemon X warned the two. "It's coming this way!"
"Where?" Alforce V-Dramon X asked.
"It's coming from the human world," replied Dynasmon X.
Suddenly, their questions were answered as a bright red-golden light appeared towards the horizon. The trio each gasped out. They were feeling the ki of a power that greatly surpassed their own.
"Impossible! How can there be a being with this amount of ki from the human world! It's the ki of an upper S-class!" Dynasmon X quivered in shock.
…
…
…
…
"YO! YO! MOVE ASIDE! THE GREAT KAMIYA IS COMING YOUR WAY!"
The trio felt a rush of powerful energy as Omega X fly through the open net. Following him was Phoenixmon. Next, Rosemon, Hercules Kabuterimon, Zudomon, Antiramon, Ankylomon and Guardromon rushed through the cut down barrier.
"VA-MOOSE!" Kazu and Kenta yelled out. "KAZU AND KENTA! PARTY TIME! EXCELLENT!"
As everyone left through the barrier, the trio was left with bewildered looks across their faces. Dynasmon X was quick to recognize the warrior emitting the Mazoku ki.
"That was Taichi Kamiya just now!"
"And X! I saw X, too!" Rosemon X nodded.
"No! They've failed to eliminate him! Taichi has become the Digi-Mazoku!" Alforce V-Dramon X stated the obvious.
"Then, that spectral energy was coming from him," Rosemon X said.
"Yeah, we're all doomed," mourned Dynasmon X.
Their worst fears had finally been realized, at least for the DW-STF and Huanlongmon. This was nothing more than a blessing in disguise for the Digi-Destined. This is exactly what they needed if they hope to defeat Saitou. Omega X was back and better than ever. Himo Saitou would realize the biggest mistake he has ever made for killing Taichi Kamiya. He just single handedly awakened the Digi-Mazoku within the warrior of courage.
The Dark Realm. 8:25 P.M.
Back within the unpredictable dimension of the Dark Realm, the battle across Guillotine Plateau had taken a turn for the worst for the digital warriors. Everyone, including the seven S-class warriors, was lying on the ground with battered bodies. Susanoomon and Gallantmon were laying face first with their armors nearly shattered. Dorothy was rising up while feeling spaghetti-legged. Mystic Celesta, Ultima X and War Angemon were trying to focus back on their adversary. They felt drained and completely powerless against Saitou's wrath. Max was lying back with very little ki left in his tiny body. He couldn't even utter a single word from the pain that consumed him internally. Metalla X was down on his knees while panting under his breath.
The winds blew against the plateau and brushed against Saitou's armor. His eyes were set directly on his weakened opponents. They had given it their all. The Dark Angel stood on top of a rock formation with his armor still completely unscathed.
"I'm sorry to make you guys suffer so."
"Just kill us already. You have been fortunate," Metalla X spoke up.
"Just spare us the sound of your damn voice," scoffed Gallantmon.
"Your physical strength is greater at the moment, but that is all," Susanoomon replied.
"Agreed… You're lucky we didn't reach upper S-class levels or we'd already turn you into a pile of mush," Ultima X growled.
"If only we had more power left, then we could continue on," War Angemon sighed. "I'm not sure if we'll be able to maintain these forms any longer."
"Big brother… I'm sorry. I tried to avenge you," whispered Mystic Celesta.
"Taichi, I did everything I could. Now, looks like I'll be joining you soon," Dorothy winced.
"Father. I'm sorry. This guy is really strong… Make room for me in the after life," Max thought.
"I am merciful," Saitou said as he placed a hand out towards the weakened warriors. "I will relieve you guys… of your misery."
Suddenly, Saitou felt a sudden rush of strong ki heading towards his direction. He stopped to pause and turn towards where the tunnel leading to subspace led.
"What is this terrific Mazoku ki? It's coming from the other side. What? It can't be!"
Appearing across the horizon looked like a bright red star. The seven warriors looked across and felt this tremendous surge of power heading their direction. Metalla X was the first to pick up on it followed by Max and the other six.
Finally arriving at the area was Omega X. He levitated with his arms crossed and sporting his trademark smirk across his face. Saitou looks up with utter disbelief.
"It… couldn't be him," Metalla X whispered. "But, how! He was dead… Now I'm seeing Tai's spirit…"
"Da… Dad!" Max stuttered. "It can't be true… He's alive!"
"Big brother…!" Mystic Celesta gasped.
"Heh. Damn, look at you guys!" Omega X remarked. "Sorry to keep you waiting!"
The Dark Angel was silent in shock over this surprising turn of events. He didn't expect to see Omega X back to life with Mazoku ki to bear.
"COME ON, SAITOU! Let's pick up where we last left off!"
Upon calling out to the Dark Angel, Omega X placed his fingers over his forehead and teleports down to the ground swiftly. Also arriving at just about the right time was Phoenixmon with Sora, X, Lady Moinanea and an unconscious Rei Saiba on their backs. Keke and Dimitri landed next to them. Everyone else was still tagging along from the far distance. A sudden pause overtaken the battlefield with all eyes set on Omega X.
The warriors were stunned in belief to witness their beloved standing on his two feet and back from the dead to boot! Saitou's eyes slightly widened as even he was surprised to see the warrior he had just slain alive and better than ever.
"Im… Impossible…" Saitou managed to utter.
"Is that him…?" Metalla X wondered. "It feels like him."
"Tai…?" War Angemon gasped.
"But, how…?" Gallantmon wondered. "We saw him die…"
"Big brother…?" Mystic Celesta muttered.
"Tai! No way!" Ultima X freaked out.
"My dad's alive! Unreal!" Max exclaimed.
"Sorry for being late, guys," Omega X replied with a sheepish grin. "Look at you all. Ditching a guy and hogging the bad guy all to yourself."
"Ha, yeah. That's him all right," Dorothy snickered.
"I'm glad to even make it here in time," Omega X said while approaching his fallen comrades. "You guys must have gotten the wrong impression, but did you think I'd let anyone else take up my fight?"
"DAD! IT REALLY IS YOU!"
Max's eyes flooded with tears as he rushes up to his father's side and hugs his leg. The warrior reaches down and pats his boy on the head.
"Hey, little guy. I see you were having some fun while I was away?"
"Just sore but I'm glad you're back. But, I have a question. How can you be standing when you were supposed to be dead? I doubt anyone had used the digicores just now."
"Good question, Max, but I'll explain that in a minute."
"But, you're heart stopped beating! Max even confirmed it," Ultima X replied. "Plus, I'm sensing some weird ki from you and is that Saint Light ki I'm sensing too?"
"What! You have Saint Light ki!" War Angemon gasped.
"Just a little dosage but it was right after I kissed Sora and came here," Omega X nodded.
"But not enough to hold back Saitou?" Dorothy said.
"Not too sure, Dorothy."
"Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sensing some kind of demon digimon ki from you," Mystic Celesta said as she pointed her sword directly at her brother. "How is that possible?"
"I'd like to know for sure," Gallantmon nodded.
"Tell us," Susanoomon replied.
"Heh, yeah. Well, so it seems," Omega X shrugged. "To tell you the truth, my heart still hasn't started beating again. Guess, I should be worried, huh?"
Suddenly, there was a deep laughter coming out from the battlefield itself. Everyone turned around to find several bodies popping out from a pile of sand. Beelzebumon was the first to emerge as he laughed heartily. Soon afterward, Pikkan was next to follow up. Omega X and the fused warriors turned to face the laughing pair. Even Omega X couldn't help but chuckle as well.
"Oh, you'll get used to that, bub," Beelzebumon chuckled. "Don't worry. You should have a 'nucleus' functioning inside of your heart."
"What! A nucleus!" the group exclaimed out in unison.
"They don't get it, do they?" Pikkan sighed.
"Yes, that's a Digi-Mazoku's heart," X answered from the background. "Only two types of digimon contain nucleuses in their hearts. Mazokus and Alterians. As you know, Pikkan is an Alterian and he has a nucleus for a heart rather than a normal conventional digimon heart. The same goes for a Mazoku."
"Now, you've really lost me," Ultima X sighed.
"Believe me. I was shocked by the revelation as well," X stated.
"As we all were," Sora replied.
"You should know that Taichi and Agumon now have Mazoku blood coursing through their veins," Lady Moinanea replied.
"Is this true, dad!" Max gasped in shock. "You're a Mazoku! A demon!"
"Half-breed to be exact," Keke corrected the boy. "He's a digi-hybrid and a half-Mazoku just like Agumon."
"Keke! I'm so glad you're doing fine!" Max calls out as he runs over and hugs the girl.
"Likewise, Max," Keke replied as she returned a hug to the boy.
"Anyway, in short, one of mine and Agumon's distant ancestors was this Mazoku lord," Omega X explained. "That blood managed to bring me back to life."
"Whoa! So you are a Mazoku!" War Angemon couldn't help but gasp.
"I don't know what to think myself," Gallantmon whispered.
"My brother has inherited the Mazoku blood, but that would make him one with darkness," Mystic Celesta frowned. "No. Not my own brother."
"I knew you were a lot of things, Tai, but a freaking Mazoku! Unreal!" Ultima X chuckled.
"I'm just as surprised as these guys are," Susanoomon nodded.
"Man, my dad's a Mazoku! This is so cool!" Max snickered.
"See, Max? You shouldn't have lost faith in your father," Dorothy replied. "I know I sure didn't lose faith in him."
"Reincarnation?" Saitou whispered. "The atavism of the Digi-Mazoku?"
"That's correct," X answered his former apprentice.
"Well, this is quite the turn around," the Dark Angel thought. "That's the reason why I felt so much uncertainty then."
"Heh, you know, Tai. I didn't think you'd become something like me," Beelzebumon snickered. "You've become a Mazoku brother."
"The Alterians can now revere your presence," Pikkan nodded. "You're no longer a detestable human in my view, but a brother amongst us."
"So, how does it feel?" War Angemon asked. "You feel any different?"
"Well, honestly, I don't feel any different," Omega X replied as he pointed to his chest. "It hasn't really registered with me yet. I haven't changed at all."
"I see," Ultima X muttered. "I wish I could become a Mazoku, too. It has to be a really cool feeling."
"At least Tai hasn't sprung out extra horns or eyes yet," Gallantmon joked.
"This is quite an ironic twist. I'm the Child of Light yet my brother has become intertwined with a form of darkness," Mystic Celesta motioned over to her brother. "No, he's still my brother. He still fights for our side, but will being a Mazoku turn him into a blood-thirsty demon? How can I forget the time he went insane after turning into a beast before reaching the level four status?"
"I don't know about you guys, but I feel I can settle things this time for sure," Omega X sets his sights on Saitou. "How about it, Saitou? Let's pick up where we left off!"
"Hold up a minute there," Metalla X growled.
With that said, Omega X turns to find Metalla X, War Angemon, Ultima X and Gallantmon rising to their feet. Each warrior was sporting golden auras of light. Interestingly, their powers were quickly being restored. This could be the result of their auras feeding off of Omega X's superior ki light.
"We're in the middle of something and I've suddenly discovered my second wind," the warrior of friendship said.
"I've changed my mind. I want to take that bastard one-on-one," Ultima X quivered in excitement.
"He sure owes me for damaging my armor," Gallantmon growled.
"My holy light will triumph his," said War Angemon.
However, there were three others who disagreed with the four revived warriors.
"No, I will take him," Dorothy said.
"Afraid not. He's all mine," Mystic Celesta sighed happily.
"I'm ready to go another round with this guy!" Susanoomon answered.
Immediately followed by the S-class warriors, the others who had just participated in the battle just now were rising to their feet. Pikkan, Beelzebumon, Shintomon, Mega Gargomon, Sakuyamon, BW, Sonja and Cyberleomon stood up one by one. They sported the same auras as their revived allies, except for the artificial woman who simply stood up with her second wind engaged.
"Geez! What is it with you guys? Not you too, Shintomon," Omega X scoffed. "Just what the hell happened here? I'm sure Saitou loves all this popularity and all, but this is my damn fight. Hey, Max. Looks like you're the only sane one here. I haven't heard a peep out of you."
Suddenly, Max jumped up with his ki completely restored and sporting a new battle aura. He gleed and hopped around like an excited child, no pun intended.
"Dad! I'm ready! I'm going first! Stand back because I can kick his butt myself!"
"Um, you do realize he'll be kicking back?" Dimitri muttered.
"Yeah, I'll have to agree there," sighed Keke.
"C'mon, you two! Where's the support! I know I have what it takes to lay his ass out!"
Omega X and Sora couldn't help but snicker over their son's heroic antics. However, Saitou was certainly not amused. His serious demeanor was still as cold as ever. His stone cold eyes set on the revived warriors. Even he couldn't believe that they had just gained their second wind just as Omega X arrived at the scene.
"By having Taichi back, all of those warriors' powers have been restored. They're as strong as they were before they saw Taichi die. No, they're all each stronger. X, you have chosen your team wisely. You've found yourself some really talented and gifted individuals. All of them have special attributes that make them unique in their own right, but Taichi remains the highest in power. It's enough to weaken my resolve…"
With those thoughts lingering in his mind, Saitou's armored body exploded with the Saint Light ki engulfing him. All of the warriors set their glares directly and solely on the Dark Angel. They all wanted to tear him apart one limb at a time, but this would be Omega X's honor to take up the fight.
"I know how you guys feel and I've sensed how strong you've all become," Omega X said as his body flared up. "I'm proud of each and every one of you, but I want to be the one that defeats him. Please."
"Go get him, dad," Max nodded.
"Make sure he feels our pain," Ultima X answered.
"We're all behind you," Dorothy said.
"You helped me win against D-Reaper. Now allow me the honor to let you take this one," Gallantmon replied to the veteran.
"I know you can do it, big brother," replied Mystic Celesta.
Sora smiled and said to her husband, "Go get him, tiger."
"Knock him dead, Tai," Metalla X pointed to his rival. "But if you screw up, you know I've always got your back."
"Likewise," War Angemon said.
Giving a final nod to his loved ones, Omega X slowly marched across the lifeless plateau. Soon afterwards, Saitou walked across and set his glare down onto his adversary. The two apprentices were dead set on finishing where they had left off. This time, one of them would be dead and that's guaranteed to be sure. Lighting struck across the background to give the battlefield an intense dramatic effect. Round three was set to begin…
It has once again begun. One has courage and the other threw it away long ago. One relies on hope and the other relies on despair. One has allies to support him and the other has only his seven personalities. One possesses heart and the other has a dark heart. One is reckless and the other is careful. The two opposites were ready to clash for one final showdown, which will determine the fate of the human world and the four Digital realms.
…
…
Both warriors were emitting bright auras. Saitou's Saint Light ki overwhelmed him. The mixed Saint Light and Mazoku ki was illuminating brightly around Omega X's magnificent form. With that, they levitated up and…
…
…
…
SWISH!
They had instantly vanished from everyone's eyes. Even the S-class warriors were unable to keep up with their swift movements. Then…
…
…
…
WA-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
There were two streaks of light colliding together against one another. One sported golden light while the other possessed red. The streaks collided against each other and caused the heavens to immediately tremble under their sheer might. The digimon and the warriors gasped out while sensing the duos' powers increasing. It was unbelievable and nothing they had felt before.
A loud sonic scream echoed within the heavens. Next, there was a loud barrage of fists colliding against each other at a rapid pace. Max looks up and couldn't even see any movements. Instead, there were simply streaks of light colliding faster than at least one tenth of a millisecond.
From a slow motion view, Omega X and Saitou were rapidly trading blows against each other. Fists and kicks were met directly at the same time. The heavens trembled under their God-like strength. Even dimensions beyond were feeling the after effects of their attacks.
Punch. Kick. Punch. Kick. Block. Block. Repeat. This was the process of the battle. Neither warrior was dead set on giving out just yet. Their powers remained constant despite exerting enough force towards each other.
From a high vantage point, they were merely streaks of light soaring across the plateau. The twin streaks flew across several neighboring mountain steeps and destroyed them in the process. Then came a powerful, loud explosion that destroyed nearly the entire plateau itself. The warriors quickly flew off from where they once stood to take refuge away from the battle. Phoenixmon followed them along with her passengers still on her back. Each one of them covered their eyes from the bright dome that engulfed the devastated plateau.
Meanwhile, inside this energy dome, there was debris of rocks scattered across. Both Omega X and Saitou were glaring down each other menacingly. Soon right as the dome light faded, the two warriors collided with each other rapidly taking the forms of light streaks. The bottom of the plateau was already nothing but a pile of scattered debris. A massive crater that looked about as wide as a three-mile meteorite impact was took the place of the former Guillotine Plateau. The two light streaks collided with each other simultaneously.
They still traded punches and kicks with each other. Neither looked fatigued or ready to give out. They were going to make this final round count.
Omega X and Saitou collided with one another again. They threw in as much punches and kicks as they could. They each maneuvered away from each other's kicks and punches. It seemed as thought Omega X has gotten faster and more efficient since being reborn as a Mazoku. He was more focused on his attacks than ever before. However, he wasn't going to take Saitou lightly. For the Dark Angel had not exploited the full power of his armor.
Taking advantage of a missed punch from Omega X, Saitou sneaks in a punch and lands it across the warrior's face. Omega X grunts and goes flying back until he manages to stop his fall. Saitou powers up his Saint Light ki, phases out and reappears over Omega X with an outstretched kick. He stomps down across but barely manages to knock Omega X down. His foot incinerated rock debris. Suddenly, there was a rising ki from another direction. Saitou turns around to find Omega X with his hands cupped to his right side. He was summoning forth for his most patented technique.
"TERRA BEAM!"
Shooting out the blast across, the Dark Angel barely managed to look over his shoulder and gasped out. The blast widened over its range in order to capture Saitou like a cornered rat. Everyone looked on with shock at how massive the Terra Beam was enlarging.
"It's too fast!" Saitou said in thought.
Before long, he barely manages to move to the side and watches as the massive beam passes by. A tiny part of the blast managed to knick off a piece of his armor from his right shoulder. The Digi-Destined gasped out in utter disbelief at how maneuverable Saitou had demonstrated.
From a slow motion vintage point, the massive blast hurtled across the Dark Realm. It went as far as towards a massive ocean in the background. There was silence for a few moments until…
…
…
… BOOOOOOOOOOM!
There was a massive explosion in the background and the entire skies were engulfed by a widening space of light. The warriors felt the powerful blast and watched as debris came flying out across the landscape. Massive rocks scattered across the landscape along with water.
"My goddramon! Did you see that!" Sakuyamon gasped out.
"What just happened!" Keke asked.
"He… That blast just destroyed a continent nearly three hundred miles off!" Shintomon exclaimed. "Amazing and that blast only reached as far as ten seconds!"
"WHAT! He just destroyed a whole continent!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"You mean like an island continent?" Sora said.
"No, I mean a real continent!" X replied. "If that was only a small portion of his newly awakened power, I shudder to think what could have happened if he went all out."
"Dad! Man, you really are a god!" Max thought.
"But, he missed. Otherwise, Saitou would have been long gone by now," Gallantmon pointed out the obvious.
"Damn! I missed! With a blast that massive!" Omega X blurted.
A sheepish grin forms across Saitou's face once he looked over his right shoulder. Only a tiny portion was nicked from the warrior's titanic Terra Beam.
"He pierced my Ki Kou Toui armor," Saitou thought. "Had that attack made contact, I wouldn't be standing here anymore."
Omega X looked down at his hands and nodded, "Normally my aim wouldn't be that bad."
"I thought he had him dead-on," War Angemon wondered.
"He has yet to adjust to his new Mazoku powers," replied Dorothy.
"Hardly a marksman performance if you ask me," Metalla X sighed. "He's got more power than he knows how to handle it."
"Don't forget. Knowing Tai by now, he's the type to always adapt quickly to new circumstances," Cyberleomon stated.
"If I know my brother well, he'll get accustomed to it soon enough while fighting," Mystic Celesta assured everyone.
"Let's hope you're right, Kari," Dimitri said.
"C'mon, Tai," Sora whispered.
"Hey, dad! Don't you go wasting good energy like that again!" Max calls out directly to his father.
"Right, thanks for the reminder, Max," Omega X chuckled. "I still have plenty of more ki to create a dozen Terra Beams, but only one to use a Times Ten Terra Beam. I'll save that for last."
Just then, the ground under Saitou's feet crumbled and formed into a massive crater. He growled deeply with his Saint Light ki completely engulfing his body. Lighting struck around where Saitou was powering up. Suddenly taking realization to his enemy, Omega X faced Saitou and sensed his ki increasingly greatly.
"Now, what's he planning?" Susanoomon wondered.
"What is he planning to do?" Pikkan asked.
Grunting deeply, Saitou crossed his arms out and allowed his body to become completely radiated with golden light. Soon afterward, he threw his arms out and forced out his Ki Kou Toui armor off. He had reverted back to his normal form with golden orbs encircling him as if he were a human atom.
"He just stripped off his sacred armor!" Ultima X cried out. "Why that make him easier to attack!"
"Why would he do something like this? Even that will ensure his own demise!" Mega Gargomon agreed.
"No! He's shifting his strategy!" Shintomon replied.
"He's going to switch to a primarily offensive posture!" X managed to blurt out.
Once again unleashing a loud cry, Saitou crouched over in a battle stance and absorbed the golden orbs through his body. Much like undergoing a digivolution, Saitou had evolved into another armored form. This time his body was engulfed by a light blue aura. His outfit changed black with a blue upper body armor. A pair of shoulder pads widened across his shoulders. Sprouting from his back was a pair of wings similar to Beelzebumon's. His hands and legs were covered with cream padding. Saitou had taken the form of his code name sake, "Dark Angel".
Impressed by his outfit change, Omega X rubbed his nose and powered up with a bright red aura.
"Nice costume change there, Saitou! Now let's go!"
Miles off from Demon's Cavern. 8:30 P.M.
On their way over towards Demon's Cavern, Aquillamon had Yolei on his back as they ventured across. The children followed her along in hopes of reaching the cavern to join their friends. However, they would have to hurry before the battle between Omega X and Saitou would end. It could be finished anytime now.
"Hang in there, guys. I'm on my way! I just hope I'm not actually missing out on the fun."
Outside Demon's Cavern. 8:31 P.M.
With all eyes fixed on the battle through the viewing orb, Gosenzomon and the others were hoping for their warrior to come out on top in this important battle. It already had become the most important battle since the one involving Bebimon.
However, little did they realize, that a cloaked reptile snuck across into the caverns. He managed to gain an ability from the being that secretly resides within him. Ryo managed to follow behind and made sure not to make a single noise. Not even one peep.
"At last, we are drawing closer. My time to plunge the worlds into despair is drawing near. While those two tear each other apart, I will make my presence felt unbeknownst to those Digi-Destined fools and their allies. The rebirth of the Dark God is at hand! Ha! Ha!"
The Dark Realm. 8:31 P.M.
With the situation over at the caverns growing dire as the Millenniumon-possessed Monodramon was getting near, the intense battle was set to go underway once again. Saitou and Omega X set their glares directly towards each other. Both flared up with strong, intense auras, which was enough to cause the Dark Realm to tremble under their God-like strength.
"Everyone! Get back away from this place! Things just might get a uglier from here," Omega X warned his group.
With that said, the warriors moved back towards the upper reaches of the heavens. Before long, Saitou took advantage of Omega X's distracted attention and phases out. The warrior took notice of this and gasped.
Without warning…
…
…
…
BAAAAAAM!
Saitou's fist connects directly with Omega X's face. The warrior contorts with pain as he was sent flying back. The Dark Angel flies across with his wings gliding him forward. Seeing another opening on his adversary, Saitou sends a fist into Omega X's gut. Blood was immediately forced out of the Digi-Mazoku's mouth.
The warriors looked down as they witnessed another mountain plateau quickly incinerated from a small dosage of Saitou's Saint Light ki.
"Is there no limit to his Saint Light ki!" Lady Moinanea exclaimed.
"I'm afraid this is only the tip of the iceberg," X replied.
"C'mon, Tai!" Sora cried out directly for her husband.
As the massive smoke cloud dissipated, a massive energy dome engulfed the landscape. The two warriors were inside and prepared to collide with one another again. Omega X flares up with a red aura and shoots himself across. The debris instantly incinerated under the pressure of their powers. Once they meet head on, Saitou and Omega X locked hands onto one another and pushed back in a tight struggle. Streaks of electricity coursed through their bodies simultaneously. Their eyes became as white as Gods themselves. During their tight struggle, they exerted so much energy that it caused a chain reaction and exploded at the center of their stances.
They resumed back to their punch, kick, block combo once again. All that can be seen are a pair of lights colliding with one another and causing rocks to levitate from the surface below like a magnetic field. Followed by their brief duel, the energy dome widened and exploded across the landscape. The group looking on from the skies shielded their eyes from the radiation.
"Damn! This is incredible!" Metalla X exclaimed. "Even I can't keep up with those two anymore!"
"I'm surprised this whole dimension hasn't decided to collapse!" Ultima X cried out.
"It will eventually. Soon afterward, every other dimension across space and time will feel the after effects! These two won't stop until they are satisfied!" X replied. "Damn! So, this is how mighty my apprentices have truly become?"
"You've outdone yourself, X-san," Lady Moinanea looks towards the battle at hand.
"Hopefully my brother can pull this through," Mystic Celesta said.
"C'mon, dad! Don't give up! You've got him where you want him!" Max shouted with encouragement.
With lighting still striking across the landscape, the war was still waged inside the energy dome. However, there was another battle being waged. That was coming directly within Saitou's twisted and clouded mind. The personalities were fighting each other for complete dominance of the Cerebral Assassin's fractured mind. At the same time, he made sure to remain focused on Omega X's ferocious assault.
Saitou punches Omega X directly in the face and sends him plummeting back to the ground below. Snatching the warrior by the throat, Saitou tosses Omega X through the earth below. Holding out his hands, Saitou formed two energy spheres, condensed them together into a single ball and hurls it down directly at his fallen enemy. However, just before the sphere came close to impact, Omega X retaliates by slamming his fist through the sphere and forces it to dissipate.
The two resumed back with their assault. Both men hammered away at one another with force being exerted through each punch. The ground under their feet sunk faster and forced lava to surface out.
"Saitou… KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL! KILL THEM ALL!" the voice of Kain overtaken his mind. "BURY ALL OF MANKIND IN A GRAVE! HA! HA! HA!"
With the sadistic laughter echoing through his mind, Saitou erased all those distracting thoughts and attempted to focus back on the battle. Afterward, the voice of Hojo spoke out through his mind.
"I have already nearly become a god. It feels so good to manipulate them. We hold Human world at the palm of our hand. We can crush them like tiny ants."
Another personality butted in to intervene with a differing opinion on the matter, "It's not true! Don't lie to yourself! You truly love your own world! Human world is your world to cherish! Think of the women, the children and the elderly!"
Kain managed to interfere and spoke out through his sadistic mind, "Yeah, you love the world so much that you want to kill the humans that plague it."
"Arrogant humans, you who continue to destroy the world you live in and civilization… You have destroyed your scared gifts, your world and your fellow species. Your judgment had has come."
"Enough! The goal has been accomplished!" Himo finally speaks out against his other personalities. "This ends here…"
Once again, Kain disagreed with Himo's final decision, "No! Stop, you say! This fun hasn't even started! This is the part where it becomes interesting! Terror and chaos to all humans!"
"No, I'm ending it all. It's too late for us…"
Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, Saitou returned back to reality and felt a fist smash against his face. Omega X took advantage of Saitou and rapidly hammered him away with vicious shots across his body. The Dark Angel manages to regain his senses and flies out across the dark digimon piling up their mountain. The warrior pair flew across so quickly that even their auras barely managed to touch the lower level dark digimon yet disintegrated them rather easily.
"Whoa! They're gone again!" Max exclaimed. "What just happened!"
"They're knocking all those low level dark digimon of ranking! Even those two and their simple auras are deleting them in mass numbers!" Shintomon answered.
"Incredible! That mountain filled with those digimon are instantly being vaporized!" Mystic Celesta gasped.
"And it only gets better. Less work for us," Ultima X mused.
"Now there are countless of them dropping out of the masses," War Angemon replied.
As a massive number of dark digimon fell from the top of their mountain, so to speak, they were plummeting down towards the surface. A golden light streak crashes through the ground and sends out a massive wave of powerful energy.
With the numerous dark digimon dropping down into the crater below, Saitou and Omega X continued trading blows. Their fists connected with each other and countered at the same time. Even before the virals had a chance to fall into the crater, they were instantly deleted from the shockwaves created from the two S-class warriors. Devimon, Cultivarmon, Vilemon and even several mega-level monsters were exploding into a large data cloud mass.
"Damn! Just look at all that data! Just those two fighting alone are causing large masses of dark digimon to be destroyed!" Gallantmon gasped.
"To think there are S-class monsters with that kind of power!" Lady Moinanea exclaimed.
Omega X and Saitou turned to find darker digimon emerging to attack them. The warrior of courage charges up a massive ki blast and sends it directly at the virals.
"Eat this, you bastards!"
Meanwhile, Saitou threw out an invisible barrier that incinerates the virals that failed to penetrate through. A pair of Piedmon and Diaboromon swooped down to attack Saitou from an airborne assault.
"Damn! I don't need your meddling!"
Unleashing a massive ki blast, Saitou effortlessly deletes the raining digimon. He frowned for a moment until he sets his sights directly back on Omega X. There were no more viral digimon to interfere with their fight.
"I thought my viral killing days were behind me."
"It doesn't matter now, does it?" Omega X calls out to Dark Angel's attention. "There is no Human world, Digital World or Dark Realm where our fight is concerned. Let's settle this, Saitou. Once and for all…"
Upon hearing this, Saitou did something that even Omega X didn't think he would ever expect. For the first time since he was introduced to this enigmatic human, the Dark Angel was actually giving a heartfelt laugh. It was even filled with malice or hate, but rather enjoyment. He was enjoying himself and the battle at hand.
"It must be so nice for you to be so simple, Taichi Kamiya. That will be fine. That's something I like about you."
With that said, Himo Saitou unleashes a loud cry and became coated with his Saint Light ki again. He phases out from Omega X's sight and immediately catches him off guard with a fist across his face. Omega X managed to maneuver to the side. Saitou took advantage of the warrior's distraction and delivers a kick forward. Omega X flares up with a flaming red aura and counters the kick with his left arm.
They quickly returned back to assaulting one another with rapid fists. They flew across the distance as two streaks of light. They plowed right through numerous mountain ranges along the way and destroyed them in the process with their sheer might.
The two super powers collided once again and traded heavy blows that moved across the heavens within the Dark Realm. Now, the boundaries were feeling the effects of their blows and dimensions beyond were trembling. Omega X and Saitou countered every single one of their attacks, including kicks and punches. Eventually, Saitou takes advantage of his adversary and delivers a barrage of punches across his face.
The warrior of courage took the blows head on until Saitou rams a fist directly into Omega X's gut. He spat out a mouth full of blood and was staggering back with a glazed look across his eyes. Followed by that he delivers an uppercut and an elbow shot directly into Omega X's gut.
Omega X goes crashing through several rock debris until he came slamming against a wall. Seeing that his adversary was pinned down, Saitou launches himself across and attempts a fist smash. However, Omega X saw this attempt coming and teleports out using his Time Warp technique. Saitou's fist shatters the massive rock debris into dust. Both fighters leap across from each other and stand on top of two, massive column structures that uplifted straight from the surface below. The smoke cleared to reveal nearly half of the entire mountain range continent already reduced to rumble.
The groups were flabbergasted by the insane power these two warriors were displaying. Max's mouth widened in shock at the events that had occurred.
"Whoa! Awesome! My dad and Saitou did all that!" Max gasped in shock. "Man! This is awesome!"
"Just one moment and then a few milliseconds later, those mountain ranges were devastated by their energies!" BW exclaimed.
"Man, I so want to join in, but we'll just get in their way," Ultima X sighed. "Tai. I hope you're enjoying yourself out there."
"Those two aren't even fatigued the least bit," Sonja thought.
"Saitou's Saint Light kis is great but Tai's Mazoku power is simply phenomenal!" Susanoomon stated. "They've greatly surpassed even the tyrannical Lucemon."
Stamping his foot down, Omega X crossed his arms with his trademark Kamiya smirk.
"Yo. Let's do this someplace more spread out. It's much easier to fight with nothing else around, right?"
"Ok, Taichi. What do you suggest?"
Pointing over towards a tall skyscraper structure in the background, Omega X forms a smirk across his face and nods over to Saitou.
"You see that skyscraper behind us with the moon in the background? We'll finish it over there."
"It's almost as if you've been there before, huh?"
"I probably have. Mine and Agumon's ancient ancestor anyway."
"…"
"IKE!"
With that said, the warrior pair vanished out from sight. Even the others weren't able to keep on track with them any longer, though Metalla X was only barely managing to sense their ki levels.
"Where did they go!" Keke exclaimed.
"Man, this is even too insane for me to keep up anymore," Dimitri muttered.
"They're moving ahead," Metalla X answered.
"Where to?" War Angemon asked.
"C'mon, guys! Let's go and follow them out!" X declared. "Phoenixmon! Onward!"
Nodding in reply, the phoenix bird flew across swiftly with the warriors soaring across the skies in pursuit. They weren't going to miss out on this historic battle in any way possible. It was the battle to determine the fate of the Digital Realms and the Human world. Who in their right mind would want to miss out on this chance to watch two S-class warriors clash?
Saitou and Omega X soared across the heavens with speed already ascended past light itself. As Omega X came closer towards the skyscraper ahead of him, he felt a sudden abnormal beat in his heart.
…
…
… BA-BOOOOOM!
…
…
…
Omega X froze in place for a few moments and felt the beat once again.
"What was that?"
Several milliseconds later, the twin light streaks disappeared into the background. Then…
…
…
BOOM!
The skyscraper and the gigantic red moon in the background exploded altogether. Everyone in the background stopped to cover shield themselves from the flying debris of the moon. Numerous scattered rocks shot down across the landscape and threw up a massive sand storm in the process.
The light streaks collided once again at faster than light speed. Omega X and Saitou pummeled each other with yet more fists. Saitou leaps back and throws out a ki blast directly for Omega X. The warrior immediately dodges out of the way and lets the blast incinerate a rock formation. Omega X takes flight across into the heavens.
Saitou unleashes a scattershot of ki blasts directly for Omega X. He retaliates by tossing out his own ki beam to completely dispel the blasts directly. As Omega X phases out and reappears in front of him, Saitou throws out a punch. The warrior teleports out using his Time Warp once again. This managed to catch Saitou off guard for a moment but not long. The Dark Angel turns to find Omega X throwing out his own punch. Both warriors caught each other's fists at the same time. Both warriors locked up and strained to push each other back with extreme force. It seemed like a stalemate at the moment as electricity surged through their maximum zed forms. Their auras ripped through the rock formation they were standing on and vaporized it. They immediately found themselves in a struggle across a sandy desert. Their auras brightened with yet more electricity surging. Their eyes remained locked against one another.
"They're enveloped in energy again! We can't eve get any closer!" Dorothy cried out.
"It's too dangerous for us to get any closer," replied X. "We'll all be fried if we get any closer."
"Those are the power of two Upper S-class beings," Shinotmon gasped. "I never thought I'd ever see anything of this magnitude. D-Reaper pales in comparison to the amount of power these two are demonstrating! To think the fate of everything we hold dear rests on this battle alone. We are witnessing history as we speak."
"Yes and we'll be wiped out in one shot if we get any closer. This as far as we can go for now," stated Lady Moinanea. "C'mon, Taichi. You can do it!"
"Don't give up, Tai! Don't give up!" Sora calls out to her husband.
"To think that Tai and Saitou would surpass me and make me to be a weakling. If they can reach the Upper S-Class, then so can I!" Metalla X seethed in thought.
Finally giving out, both warriors flew back across from one another. Neither one looked even one bit fatigued. Their ki levels still as strong as ever. Their auras brightened over their forms like firestorms. Omega X stretched out his body and chuckled to himself.
"Well, that was fun, Saitou. I've got to hand it to you. You're stronger than all the enemies I've faced in the past. You and I are so much alike if you think about it."
"We know each other's strengths and weaknesses."
"Yeah well, I still need to get sued to this mix of Mazoku and Saint Light energy anyways."
"I find it intriguing you are a possessor of the two traits."
"Guess call it luck, huh?"
"Perhaps but it has made you a great deal stronger. I'm pleased, Taichi Kamiya. You have given me the best fight anyone could offer. Even supposed Demon lords such as Lucemon would bow to our feet."
"Oh? Don't worry; once I get adjusted to this Mazoku power, I'm going to get better."
"…"
"I said 'Don't worry', not go 'dumb'. Don't tell me you're planning some other scheme?"
"Not a thing. Nothing terribly interesting, anyway."
"Aw, c'mon! Tell me!"
"I can't say right now."
"You cheapskate! Don't you realize I'm working on a short attention span here?"
"Ha. So, you think you're ready?"
Looking on from above the battlefield, the warriors were still flabbergasted from the ensuing showdown between X's two greatest apprentices. Even X couldn't believe how insanely powerful his two students have truly become. They were monsters and highly classified threats to the Digital Realms.
"Hey, Aunt Kari, how do you size up those two powers now?"
"Well, Max, let's put it this way. Even if you overlook the fact that Tai can't use all of his power, Saitou still has a slight edge."
"Plus, there's that change of demeanor on Saitou to consider," Dorothy pointed out.
"What do you mean by change in demeanor?" asked Gallantmon.
"She's right. Saitou's fighting style has completely changed," X thought. "It's almost as if he was enjoying himself."
"Saitou's dark hatred that he has shown up until now is disappearing," War Angemon stated.
"Ha. So he's finally found the fight he was looking for," Pikkan chuckled.
"That's the face of someone who has finally come up against a worthy opponent!" Metalla X replied. "That's how I felt when I fought Tai!"
Back on the battlefield, the two warriors flared up their auras. Omega X's aura flashed with a mixture of red and golden light, while Saitou's was completely golden.
"So, are we going to finish this?" Omega X laughed.
"Yes! Sounds good!" snickered Saitou.
Before Omega X made his first step across the sand, he stopped for a moment and felt the abnormal heart beat. Saitou took notice of this and gasped out in concern. The warrior of courage's eyes were emitting a light red glow and pulsating in synch with the heart beats.
"There is goes again… What the hell is this?" Omega X thought.
…
…
…
Suddenly, a ghostly image of a throne room is displayed across Omega X's mind. A closer shot view is displayed in the background. Sitting on this throne was a majestic figure. The figure appeared human but there was something mysterious yet demonic about this creature. His body is slightly muscular. His upper body is embedded with armor similar to War Greymon's. His legs were tapped and a pair of black boots decorated his feet. His hands were human-like equipped with animalistic claws. A headband tightened around his forehead. The most unique feature of this seemingly ghostly figure was the mask covering his face. It looked exactly like War Greymon's mask. He removes the mask to reveal a pair of red demonic ears. The power within this beast was majestic yet powerful…
Could this be the ancestor in whom Omegamon X has spoken of? Is this the Mazoku ancestor of Agumon? Is this whom Tai is also seemingly related too since he shares the data/genes of this Mazoku.
Omega X was frozen in place as he looked like he had just seen a ghost. A voice suddenly echoed through his mind telepathically. It was low, yet deep and strong with his words. He finally spoke through to both Tai and Agumon within Omega X's mind.
"You are the one at last…"
"Who are you?"
Saitou remained still and wondered what had suddenly forced Omega X to remain frozen in place.
…
"You don't know how to use your power! LET ME SHOW YOU!"
…
…
…
With that said, a column of white light emerged from out of Omega X and engulfed him completely. The warrior unleashes a painful cry once his entire body radiated the same light energy. A huge gust of wind blew across from where Omega X was standing and blew the sands across the desert. Radical lighting struck across around the aura of light. The column shot up directly towards the heavens and caused Omega X to fly up to become basked in this light source.
Finally succumbing to the light, Omega X screams echoed out across the landscape and his Mazoku ki exploded at an extraordinary rate. Omega X watched as his hair grew long longer, spikier and streaked across his back. Several bangs of hair covered his forehead. His screams crew even louder that even the entire Dark Realm was trembling. This was very similar to when Megidramon evolved and the Hazard was uncontrollably growing. That alone nearly destroyed the Southern Realm. In this case, the force was even greater than even the Hazard could ever hope to produce. This was the awakening of a Super Class Mazoku son after thousands upon thousands of Digi-Millennia.
Even the warriors were in complete shock and awe at the sudden turn of events. Metalla X's eyes widened while feeling out Omega X's newly ascended power.
Max, X, Sora, Mystic Celesta and Shintomon were amongst those in great disbelief. Their beloved had ascended into a full Mazoku warrior of legend. They looked around the Dark Realm to notice the entire dimension trembling under the Mazoku's full awakening.
"Is my dad causing all this!" Max exclaimed.
"His power is even greater than Megidramon's Hazard could ever produce!" Sakuyamon thought. "Oh man! This is insane, Renamon!"
"Unbelievable power!" Gallantmon cried out.
"At this rate, the Dark Realm along with the Human world and the Digital Realms will collapse!" X shouted. "C'mon, Tai! Suppress that Mazoku ki!"
However, that didn't seem at all possible. Saitou looks on in shock as he laid eyes upon his transforming adversary. A pair of demonic red eyes emerged through the column of light with tribal markings emitting the same color aura.
…
…
He has been awakened. The Digi-Mazoku is born.
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Realm
Staring across the viewing orb, both Gennai and Azulongmon were shocked out of their mind. Their world was feeling the after effects of the power magnitude Omega X was giving off. Their domain trembled under his sheer might.
"Azulongmon! It's finally happened! Tai has become the Digi-Mazoku!" Gennai exclaimed. "Now even this Digital Realm is feeling the after effects!"
"Soon, it will soon become felt across the four Digital Realms, and the Human world."
"What! If he continues like this, there will be a total collapse in the balance! Tai! Stop this now!"
"So, finally… After nearly thousands of Digi-millennia, a Digi-Mazoku has been reborn. I just didn't think the Digi-Destined of Courage would become that next great Mazoku Messiah. Taichi, please do not let this new power sap away your humanity."
03 Digital World. Zhuqiaomon's Palace
Zhuqiaomon and Ebonwumon had never felt such a power right now. Even their world was going under pressure from Omega X's ascension to the fifth digital level, the Mazoku form.
"Good ladie! This power is simply too great! If he keeps this up, everything will collapse and our world will be destroyed!"
"His great is even more dangerous than the Hazard. At this rate, the Mazoku will destroy the entire Digital Universe along with the Human world. Our dimensional planes can only take so much abuse," Zhuqiaomon replied.
"Wait! You didn't just say Mazoku, did you!"
"That's exactly what I said. If my assumptions are correct, the bearer of courage will be a greater threat than even the human with the Saint Light ki."
"That's impossible…"
"I wish it were my friend, but the next Digi-Mazoku has been reborn."
04 Digital World. Seraphimon's Palace
"It's finally time, isn't it?" Seraphimon whispered while his palace felt the effects of the transformation.
"Time for what?" Neemon asked.
"The Digi-Mazoku, dear heavens. This is going to get ugly," Bokomon replied. "According to my book, when the next Digi-Mazoku is reborn, the four Digital Realms will feel the beast's wrath. In this case scenario, the beast has been reawakened and will vent out his furious anger on the human."
"Not only is our world feeling its effects, but every other Digital World is, too, I'm afraid," Ophanimon nodded.
"So a more frightening power than Lucemon has risen from the ashes? Why did it have to be one of Azulongmon's own?" Cherubimon wondered.
"This is not his doing," Sorcermon. "Am I right, Lord Seraphimon?"
"You are correct, my friend. Azulongmon would never let this happen. This is certainly unexpected, but I wonder if Lady Moinanea had predicted this event to occur in her prophecies? The Messiah would be reborn. In this case, it is the Mazoku Messiah. I just pray the bearer of courage does not make the choice to destroy everything we worked hard to rebuild. Heaven forbid him ever claiming control over the four Digital Realms."
Inside Saitou's Cavern Lair. 8:40 P.M.
Even the DW-STF was shocked by the amount of ki emerging out of the tunnel. The entire caverns trembled under the Digi-Mazoku's sheer might.
"What is that, sir!" Alforce V-Dramon X exclaimed.
"It's… It's too late. The Digi-Mazoku has been reborn. The fate of the Digital Worlds may very likely end. If he and the human continue fighting, there will likely be a collapse in not just those dimensions but the Human world as well. Everyone will suffer their wrath," Omegamon X replied sadly.
"But, they are only S-class levels, right? I mean they are likely to give out soon after exerting so much force?" said Rosemon X.
"You know nothing. Saitou is a human and is currently an upper X class level. But the energy from the Digi-Destined of Courage. It's… a Super Class level."
This revelation brought about gasps amongst the group. They had never before heard anything of a 'Super' class, a level slightly above the S-class stage.
"How can this be possible!" Dynasmon X shouted. "Damn! We could have stopped him!"
"No, there wasn't anything you can do! Now, the only thing we can do is seal up this tunnel! That way we can trap those two monsters in there for all eternity! Is that clear! I'm ready to seal that tunnel! Are you with me?"
"SIR! YES, SIR!"
Unbeknownst to the DW-STF, a cloaked figure snuck past them by easily suppressing his presence. It was none other than Monodramon. He and Ryo crossed over through the tunnel like thieves. The rookie looks across and grins.
"So the Mazoku Messiah has been reborn. While he and Saitou duel it out, this presents me the perfect opportunity to return back to my domain. Oh, how glorious it shall be to become one with my other half. The true Millenniumon shall be reborn as one whole and with a new form along with it! Digi-Destined! Prepare yourselves! You winds of fate have changed for you!"
Monodramon springs across drastically like a racer, while Ryo attempted to catch up with his partner. He gasped for air yet continued to press onward through the tunnel.
"Monodramon. I'm not liking this weird vibe I'm feeling. There's nothing but darkness beyond. I hope you know what you're looking for; because I'm not sure I want to stay here any longer."
Earth. Underground Hypnos Facility. 8:40 P.M.
The network of Hypnos had quickly shut down offline because of the increase of energy activity coming from the Digi-Mazoku himself. It had a greater magnitude than anything felt before. Soon, Yamaki was receiving reports of the entire planet trembling by an unknown source. He quickly came to the conclusion that it was coming directly from the Digital realms.
"Sir? It's coming from the Digital World, isn't it?" asked Riley.
"I'm afraid so. All of our systems have been shut down and there will be no way for us to track our allies' whereabouts. Now, we have frequent tremors occurring across the planet. If this doesn't stop, there will be nothing left."
"Everything…" Talley stuttered out of fear.
"Has the apocalypse decided to rear it's ugly head in a destructive manner? Is our world near its end? No, there has to be something else behind this force," Yamaki thought. "But what exactly is it? I need to know!"
Worldwide View of Earth. 8:40 P.M.
From an outer space view, the whole planet was slightly darkened by the clouds engulfing half of the world. A surge of energy overflowed and surged through the planet. Yes, even the Digi-Mazoku's sheer power was being felt all across the world. If it continues on with the pressure, the planet itself could go off at any moment.
? Center of the Four Digital Realms ?
Lifting his head to view his viewing orb, Huanlongmon and his subordinates looked on with utter disbelief. The new Digi-Mazoku was now reborn before their very own eyes.
All Hunalongmon could mutter was this, "So the legend has come into realization? The prophecy has indeed come into pass. Toushinmon, what have you done?"
The Dark Realm. 8:40 P.M.
With the column of light dispersing and the radical thunder rumbling, the newest form of Omega X emerged out to reveal his true Mazoku form. In other words, he has tapped into the fifth level stage of digital fusion.
The warrior's body was larger and muscular than before. His hair was slicked back into a spiked hairstyle and streaked towards his back. Thick bangs stiffened up over his forehead. His chest is chiseled out with the fur on parts of his body silver. His spiked hair was a mixture of black and silver. His eyes were completely crimson with black round irises. His hands are human-like with blue straps around both of his wrists. A long, prehensile tail emerged from out of his back side and waved around. His pants are changed from yellow to black yet it was still torn up from the battle beforehand. A silver Japanese style quilt covered his front side. Marked across his chest, shoulders and face were the tribal markings of the Digi-Mazoku himself. Omega X simply looked majestic and God-like in appearance. The strong winds blew against his hair but he did not seem bothered from his surroundings. He marched onward to face off with the Dark Angel.
"What's going on! Don't tell me that's my father!" Max exclaimed.
"Taichi!" Lady Moinanea cried out.
"He has become the Digi-Mazoku, oh heavens," Shintomon whispered. "Have mercy on our souls…"
"Tai… I can't believe it," Mystic Celesta muttered. "This is incredible!"
"So, this is the true nature of the Digi-Mazoku? My own husband?" Sora thought with worry.
After a few moments, Omega X shifted his gaze over towards Saitou with his eyes emitting a crimson glare. A wicked smirk forms across his face with dark intentions clouding his evolved Mazoku mind.
Is that really Taichi Kamiya? Is it Agumon? Is that even Omega X anymore? As if guided by the mysterious voice, Taichi Kamiya suddenly undergoes a strange transformation, which is greater than his previous four digital fusion levels. Is this the true awakening of the Digi-Mazoku? As he prepares to finish the fight with Saitou, will Taichi defeat the Dark Angel once and for all? Or is the entire Digital Universe, along with the Human world finished?
"Simply call me, War God Mode. Sorry to keep you waiting," the newly evolved Omega X calls out with a voice mixed with the another giving off a powerful vibe.

(Preview)
Omega X/Tai: Yo, everyone! It's me, Taichi! Wait until you get a sneak peek of my new power! I've reached the stage of level five! I have become the Digi-Mazoku!
Max: You're invincible, dad! Nobody can even touch you anymore!
Sora: It all comes down to whether Saitou has any strength left either.
X: Knowing him, he probably hasn't even exploited the full power of his sacred armor.
Gallantmon/Takato: Scratch that! Tai's taking it to him!
Mystic Celesta/Hikari: Go, big brother!
Metalla X/Matt: How is this possible! Saitou is being decimated!
Shintomon: That Mazoku lord must have been a formidable warrior with a great track record. Even Saitou stands no chance against a Digi-Mazoku!
Omega X: So you think challenging me is a great opportunity for you… Human! ((hisses))
Voice: No, but I shall present that challenge to you, Digi-Mazoku!
Sakuyamon/Rika: Ryo and Monodramon?
Monodramon: Ha! Foolish humans. I'm no Monodramon any longer. Finally I can escape this shell and merge with my other half residing in this world! Behold!
Monodramon's body releases a dark spirit and that spirit merges with a great dark beast emerging out of skies. The two powers intertwine and form the shape of a two-headed monster with data code spiraling around him. However, his transformation isn't complete. The two-headed beast takes on a new form: a bipedal, white-skinned dragon-like beast. A pair of horns sticks out of his head with dark spikes protruding out through his back. His eyes were crimson red. His presence is frightening along with the amount of powerful ki energy emerging. It was one hundred percent pure evil energy. The Digi-Destined, Tamers and Legendary warriors stand their ground facing off the newest form of Millenniumon: Zeed.
Zeed: With Saitou out of the way, that just leaves easy pickings for me. One by one, you shall all fall to my might. First, I'll be taking those Digicores and the souls of nearly every villain you have defeated before the Dark Angel.
Omega X: His power is even greater than Saitou's! With the digicores and souls of our defeated enemies, what's next?
Zeed: This!
(The screams of Omega X's friends echo across the background as casualities start to mound.)
Omega X: NO! GUYS!
War Angemon/TK: The next chapter itself is entitled…
The Awakening of Digital Fusion Level Five: War God Mode! The Dark God Arrives- Zeed!
Metalla X: Is there any chance of making it out of here alive? We can't fail!
Whew, that's the longest chapter I think I've never written for the D-Fusion series. Maybe even longer than the chapter involving the final battle with Virus and Burizalor. Well, it all comes down to Omega X demonstrating his War God Mode and most likely ending the conflict with Saitou. Afterwards, it's the moment you all have been anticipating since the D-Reaper Saga: the emergence of Millennium with a new form. This one could prove to be the most dangerous of the Millenniumons judging by the preview I have provided.
On the contrary, the next chapter will most likely be my last for a short while since I'll be going out of town starting this Friday night and coming back until next week. Consider the next one a cliffhanger until I get back and if I don't receive too much homework.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Stick around for the next one because it will be one to never forget! Until then, peace!

Hey, again, guys! I'm going to make this at least a little short. This will be my last update for at least a week since I'll be out of town and leaving Friday night. Rather than leave the last chapter as at a cliffhanger. I have decided that this specific chapter will contain a cliffhanger instead. This will at least close the book on Saitou and move on with the final villain.
This chapter won't be too action-packed like the last one, but dang it there will be some action. The final villain will finally reveal himself and I hope you guys are anxiously anticipating that! Well, that's enough of my rambling. Let's get on with the show!
Having learned that Tai and Agumon have become descendants of the Digi-Mazoku, the DW-STF attempted to eliminate Omega X, fearing he would be resurrected as the reborn beast. However, Sora and Phoenixmon intervened at the last moment. Omega X was eventually awakened as the Digi-Mazoku and immediately raced back to the Dark Realm with his friends. Once returning back, Omega X rushed into the Dark Realm to finish his fight with Saitou.
The battle between the powered-up Omega X and Saitou, enveloped in his Saint Light ki aura, was ferocious. It transcended the hatred that each felt towards each other, and become purely a contest of power and speed. It was an explosive stalemate. Right in the middle of it, a change came over Tai's body. He was beginning his true awakening as a Digi-Mazoku, the first in many Digi-millenia.

The Awakening of Digital Fusion Level Five: War God Mode! The Dark God Arrives- Zeed!
The Dark Realm. 8:40 P.M.
The Dark Realm was undergoing a near cataclysmic event near a galactic devastating scale. Radical lighting struck across the landscapes and the mountain ranges were collapsing under a sheer mighty power. This rising power was coming directly from one major power source. The winds blew across the desert landscape of the battlefield and scattered those sands across the skies.
Shooting out from the center of the desert was a large energy dome with a single entity within it. Loud screams were heard echoing from out of the dome. That single entity was none other than Taichi Kamiya, A.K.A. Omega X. His eyes were completely white like an omnipotent being and his mouth widened to the point where his demonic canines were fully displayed. His body was undergoing a metamorphic change and surged with new found energy. His muscles ripped and grew along with his ki surging throughout his magnificent form.
Looking down from the heavens was the warrior's comrades, including his family. X, Sora, Max and Lady Moinanea gasped out in shock over their beloved undergoing his newest evolution into his Digi-Mazoku form. The six S-class warriors couldn't believe the amount of ki energy emitting out of Omega X currently. It was beyond anything the four Digital realms could ever hope to produce.
Everyone else, including Keke, Dimitri, Pikkan, BW, Sonja, Cyberleomon, Sakuyamon, Beelzebumon, Mega Gargomon and Shintomon, did not ever think Omega X would unleash an overwhelming power that made all the other fusion stage forms look weak. Their gaping mouths and widened eyes pretty much said it all. If there was anything to describe the Mazoku's power it was simply one word: Godly.
"What's going on! Don't tell me that's my father!" Max exclaimed.
"Taichi!" Lady Moinanea cried out.
"He has become the Digi-Mazoku, oh heavens," Shintomon whispered. "Have mercy on our souls…"
"Tai… I can't believe it," Mystic Celesta muttered. "This is incredible!"
"So, this is the true nature of the Digi-Mazoku? My own husband?" Sora thought with worry.
Even Saitou was forced to shield his eyes from the bright amount of light energy being radiated across the landscape. The energy dome was rather calm for a moment until it expanded out across and released a powerful force that engulfed nearly the whole desert terrain. Even the dark skies were penetrated through by this light energy. The dome condenses into a column and twirls around the center where Omega X was standing out. His shadow was seen through the light and started marching across the light column rather calmly.
The warriors all unshielded their eyes and gasped to find the figure slowly making his trek out onto the battlefield.
"Damn! Are you guys sensing what I'm feeling right now! Insane!" Pikkan exclaimed. "I never thought this was possible!"
"All of this is coming just from him alone!" BW shouted.
"Tai. Man, you've already surpassed all of us," Sakuyamon muttered. "What an incredible power, Renamon. Here I thought goggle head at his peak would end up the strongest."
"It was destiny for my dad to reach this level," Max replied.
"I sure wouldn't want to be Saitou now," Susanoomon mused.
Slowly awakening and coming to her sense, Rei Saiba opens her eyes and looks down to see Saitou facing off with a warrior. She didn't get a full glimpse of the newly evolved warrior yet she recognized him by a mere hunch.
"Taichi…? You're alive, but how…? You were dead… No, even I knew you'd come back somehow… Thank goodness… Only you can hope to restore sanity to Saitou-san."
"Rei-chan?" Lady Moinanea whispered near the awakened girl. "You're awake. Thank goodness."
"Taichi's alive, isn't he?"
"Yes, isn't it a miracle?"
"Speaking of which, where's my brother? Where is Neo?"
There was silence from the group as they were focused solely on the battlefield below them. Rei looked across at them and wondered what caused the silent treatment.
"Um, hello?"
"We couldn't find your brother in the caverns," X replied. "I lost track of him. There's a good chance he used one of his dimensions to seal himself away from our keen senses."
"Oh… I hope he's ok… But, most importantly, I'm anxious to see Taichi in action."
"You should have seen him. My husband is simply an incredible man. He isn't the Digi-Destined of Courage for nothing," Sora smiled.
"Hey, everyone! You might want to take a look at this!" exclaimed Max.
As the boy called out to the group, they all set their eyes back to the sandy grounds where Saitou was standing off across from the column light. Slowly but surely, a figure marched across from the light like an angel sent down from the heavens. The Dark Angel gasped out once he gazed across at Omega X walking down calmly with an evil smirk.
The group paused and remained silent to witness what was perhaps the most historic moment in the Digital Universe's history. For the first time in thousands of Digi-millenia, a reborn Digi-Mazoku has arisen to declare war on an unsuspecting enemy. In this case, Saitou was gazing down the eyes of a true legend. A real myth. A son of an ancient Mazoku lord, still residing somewhere in the Dark Realm.
The warrior's body was larger and muscular than before. His hair was slicked back into a spiked hairstyle and streaked towards his back. Thick bangs stiffened up over his forehead. His chest is chiseled out with the fur on parts of his body silver. His spiked hair was a mixture of black and silver. His eyes were completely crimson with black round irises. His hands are human-like with blue straps around both of his wrists. A long, prehensile tail emerged from out of his back side and waved around. His pants are changed from yellow to black yet it was still torn up from the battle beforehand. A silver Japanese style quilt covered his front side. Marked across his chest, shoulders and face were the tribal markings of the Digi-Mazoku himself. Omega X simply looked majestic and God-like in appearance. The strong winds blew against his hair but he did not seem bothered from his surroundings. He marched onward to face off with the Dark Angel.
Omega X level five stops right at the center of the battlefield and sets his glare directly on Saitou. His voice was the mixture of his own and that of the Mazoku lord who had contacted him. It was threatening and powerful with a mixture of serenity. His crimson eyes emitted a bright aura and his grin widened exposing two demon fangs.
"Sorry to keep you waiting! Oh and pardon me for not introducing myself. You can simply call me Omega X Level Five. Better yet, just refer to me as WAR GOD MODE!"
As soon as he said that, several angle views of Omega X's new form was fully displayed. First, a view of his backside was shown followed by his front side and a head shot view. The wind blew against his spiked hair. His tail wriggled around sensitively against the strong winds.
Feeling the mighty presence of War God Omega X, Saitou felt a mixture of shock and excitement. He was starting to get anxious over receiving the ultimate opportunity to battle a Mazoku warrior reawakened after many thousand of Digi-Millenia. To Saitou, it was his real honor to test his full Saint Light ki against a Digi-Mazoku. No other warrior had managed to give Saitou a real challenge until Omega X returned from death's doors.
"What the heck is going on here! Is that even Tai!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"What's with the crazy silver hair and the freakish tribal tattoos! His body is covered with fur!" Keke stated.
"Who cares! He's still my dad and no matter what form he takes, I'm by his side all the way!" Max replied.
"Well, with that hair, it looked like he stuck his hand into an electric socket," Mega Gargomon joked through Terriermon's witty voice.
"Well, what do you think, X?" Sora asked.
"Not so sure myself. I've never even seen a Digi-Mazoku in person before."
"This is such a rare treat," Pikkan gasped. "My Alterian people would always tell stories about War Gods, but I never thought Tai would end up becoming a Mazoku War God."
"Kari? What do you make of this?" Ultima X asked.
"I'm only going by theory. I'm not sure what touched it off, but it appears that my brother's body has awakened completely as a Mazoku descendant. He and Agumon accepted the transformation that the Mazoku desired."
"That's very a very good theory, Kari," Dorothy nodded in agreement. "Not to shabby."
"If that's the case, this Mazoku power must be older than the ancient spirit warriors," Susanoomon said.
"Even as old or older than the Hazard," Gallantmon gulped. "Glad this Mazoku is on our side."
"Otherwise, we'd be in big trouble," Cyberleomon replied.
"No way would my dad ever attack us. He would remember us. Heck, I was the only one that ever reached out to him when he turned into a beast before," Max thought. "Now, as a Mazoku, he's going to cream Saitou and send him to his grave. I know you can do it, father."
Back on the battlefield, the two men stared each other down without a show of fear. Saitou was a little distressed for the moment but soon he sported a small grin. The opportunity has finally presented itself. This was Saitou's chance to challenge the sheer might of a true Digi-Mazoku. He might as well be staring Death in the face and shrug him off.
"This is perfect…" Saitou muttered.
"Ugh! Did you guys see that! Saitou just cracked a damn smile when he saw a freaking Digi-Mazoku!" growled Beelzebumon. "He really is an arrogant punk!"
"If you ask me, Saitou's making a big mistake if he thinks he can take Tai head on in his Mazoku form," War Angemon said.
"I'm not so sure," Lady Moinanea whispered. "They seem pretty even judging by their energy signals."
"Is that right?" Sora asked. "Well, I have a good feeling that will change soon. Just call it a hunch…"
"No, I agree Sora," Rei spoke out. "This is Taichi we're talking about. He'll find a way to surprise Saitou-san."
"How can Saitou be so sure he can even take my dad on?" Max wondered.
"That's besides the point," X answered. "Tai isn't the only one who has changed. Looking at Saitou now, I get the sense that he has transcended everything else. As if he is aware of everything…"
"Aware of everything, you say?" Shintomon asked.
"Back when he was fighting in the cave, there was a jumble of emotions clouding Saitou's fractured mind. His combat was so filled with violence, hatred and malice. He felt a sense of superiority. His heart was so dark even for a typical villain. But now, he doesn't have that."
"Agreed," Lady Moinanea replied. "Indeed he doesn't."
"The harsh conflict surrounding Saitou has now vanished," nodded Pikkan.
"Right, like a change of balance," Mystic Celesta said.
"What do you mean?" Max looked over to X.
"Just watch for yourself, little guy. You'll get the idea."
"Don't make a stupid mistake against Saitou, Tai. This is perhaps your final opportunity to finish this guy off," Sora thought.
Suddenly, the Dark Angel was starting to chuckle to himself in enjoyment. Omega X quickly took offense to this and scowled calmly.
"You are indeed the descendant of the Digi-Mazoku. Ha! I couldn't be any happier!" Saitou gave a heartily laugh.
"What's so funny about that?"
"Nothing really. I'm just thinking of how utterly lucky of a man I am."
"How's that?"
"Well, let's put it like this. I'm fighting a beast that appears every once forty plus digi-generations. There's no mistake."
"…"
"It has been my greatest desire to be able to fight a being just like you! A true Digi-Mazoku!"
"Ha. I'm going to change that feeling of desire into one of regret. You will learn you lesson… HUMAN!"
As soon she he yelled out, Omega X's crimson eyes brimmed a demonic glow. Lighting strikes across the background into an array of streaks. The battle is ready to be determined in perhaps the final moment. Neither man was going to give out and back away. For Saitou, it was his lucky chance to test his full Saint Light ki against an ancient force of destruction. For Omega X, it was the pleasure to make his excited enemy regret his decision to challenge a true Digi-Mazoku.
The group watches on across the skies and prepared to witness history in the making. The fate of many worlds would be placed on these two warriors' shoulders. However, for these two, it was to finish their fight and enjoy themselves.
Meanwhile, everyone else who had escaped the caverns finally arrived at the scene. Hercules Kabuterimon, Rosemon, Guardromon, Antiramon, Ankylomon and Zudomon arrived at the site. The digimon stopped while looking out towards the face off.
"Whoa! What's going on here!" Mimi calls out.
"It looks like Saitou with the black outfit," Kazu pointed out.
"What about that other guy with the wild silver hair and the freakish tattoos?" Kenta asked.
The digimon were quick to sense the strong ki emitting from Omega X and recognized him.
"That's Tai and Agumon!" Hercules Kabuterimon exclaimed.
"Say, what! That's Tai and Agumon!" Suzie cried out.
"Is this true?" Jeri asked.
"It looks like he's been playing around with an electric socket," Calumon tilted his head in confusion.
"I suggest we get clear back since this fight will get messy," Rosemon suggested. "Their battle auras will simply fry us."
"Inconceivable! So, this is the Digi-Mazoku? I'm getting e-mails from Gennai as we speak!" Izzy exclaimed.
"A digi-what? Where are Keke and Dimitri?" Mimi asked worryingly.
Pointing up towards the skies, Cody directed Mimi's attention to the children. She calmly let out a sigh of relief and directs her full attention on the battlefield.
"Hoo boy, Tai's looking sharp," Mimi remarked.
"If what Gennai says about the Digi-Mazoku being an angry force of war, then I shudder what Tai will do to Saitou," Izzy nodded.
"I'd be quiet if I were you. Looks like they are about to start," Ankylomon stated.
With their eyes directed towards the battlefield, the two warriors quickly sported bright flame-like auras. Saitou summoned forth his Saint Light ki while Omega X was sporting a bright red one. In fact, a slight power up from Omega X caused the ground to sink under the pressure of his power. That was only just at least one-tenth percent of his Mazoku strength. His aura exploded into a bright red-golden aura. Once again sporting a grin, Saitou stood his ground with lighting across the skies.
(Play instrumental beat in the background followed by drum beats)
(Play Rammestein's Du Haust)
There was a sudden pause and a temporarily stare down between the two massive powers. Saitou remained poised and ready to go another round. Then…
…
…
…
…
SWISSSSSSSSSH!
Omega X instantly disappears from sight and catches Saitou off guard. The Dark Angel desperately searched around his whereabouts and failed to pick up on his ki. He turned to his left and found nothing. To his rest, he found nothing. Looking up, the Dark Angel didn't find a single trace of the Mazoku warrior.
…
…
Immediately turning around, he caught a glimpse of Omega X reappearing out before him with his fist held out. Saitou put up his guard and tried to go on the defensive, but… The warrior played a foul and instantly teleported out with his Time Warp . Gasping, Saitou was once again thrown off his guard. He quickly felt an approaching power over to his left side. Saitou faces his right direction and then…
…
…
…
…
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
…
The warrior's fist met directly with Saitou's jaw and left an imprint across his right cheek. Saitou contorted with pain and spit out a mouth full of blood/spit. For the first time since phasing to his pure form, the Dark Angel FELT PAIN! He cried out in pain and goes skidding across the sandy landscape. He couldn't even control or prevent his own fall. He goes skidding across the sand.
Everyone looks on with shock at the sudden turn of events that never was supposed to happen. Tai, as the Digi-Mazoku, was actually gaining the upper hand over Saitou during the first phases of the brawl. Max's mouth widened into a grin and he called out for his father's namesake in support.
"GO, FATHER! KICK HIS ASS!"
Still skidding across the sands face first, there was a sudden movement rushing past him undetected. It was none other than Omega X. Reappearing out of invisibility, Omega X takes advantage of Saitou and delivers a kick directly to his face. He wheezed out more blood through his nose and mouth profusely. Smelling the fresh whiff of blood, Omega X flies across like a hungry shark ready to tear its prey apart.
Rocketing towards the skies, Omega X sets his sights directly onto Saitou and comes down with his feet ready to stomp down on the Dark Angel. He changed his mind and sent numerous of ki blasts directly into his exposed gut. Each blast took their toll on Saitou and caused him jolt back.
…
…
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
…
…
Saitou's head jolted back along with his entire body by these devastating shots. The Mazoku warrior proceeds to stomp his feet wildly onto Saitou's body like a maniac possessed. Each stomp pushed deeper into Saitou's body and he felt his ribs starting to fracture from the devastating blows. Any normal man would have been crushed and turned to pulp, but not Saitou. His strong will helped to ensure his survival and the wrath of this angry War God.
However, the severe punishment for the Dark Angel did not conclude. No, the War God was far from finished. He picked Saitou up by his shirt and hoisted him up. With one swift movement, he slammed a fist directly into Saitou's gut and forced more blood to emerge out of his mouth. While he regurgitated more crimson, Omega X slammed even more fists directly into Saitou and fractured his ribs further. The fists moved out so rapidly that even Saitou couldn't make track of the movements. The threshold of pain was much too overbearing for Saitou to bear yet his strong will to survive kept him alive. Only for a short time.
Throwing out a punch across, Omega X successfully connects with a fist to Saitou's jaw. The force of the punch sent Saitou sailing across the Dark Realm heavens. Lighting struck across the background to give the scene a more dramatic effect. As Saitou's body sailed across, Omega X phases out from sight and used his Time Warp to follow in pursuit of his prey.
Reappearing a few meters away, Omega X throws out a kick. Saitou attempted to block out the block with his arms, but it was too late. He didn't get the time to block out the Mazoku's ferocious kick. The direct attack collided with Saitou and sent him flying across. Several rock formation columns were standing out in the background. The Dark Angel plummeted through several of these columns and caused them to collapse altogether.
The Mazoku flew across past light speed and snatched Saitou by his left arm. Unleashing a loud defiant battle cry, Omega X hurled the Dark Angel across the Dark Realm. They have moved out directly from the desert into a more mountainous region. With Saitou still sailing across the heavens, Omega X reappears above him after phasing out from his last positioned location. He grabs Saitou's head and bashed it across with not one… Not two… Not even three… But FIFTEEN HEAD BUTTS directly!
…
…
…
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! SMASH! SMASH! CRACK!
…
…
…
Even those deadly head shots didn't crack Saitou's head open! But the blows managed to create a gash across Saitou's forehead. Blood emerged and the Dark Angel was soon going to bear a crimson mask. Blood splattered across Omega X's face, which he cleaned it right off by licking the crimson with his tongue.
Omega X wraps his arms around Saitou, plummets towards a tall rock column at fast paced speed and pile drives him directly through it. A
…
(End theme)
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The impact caused the mountain to collapse and cause a massive explosion with pounds of rock debris scattering. Omega X channeled ki energy through his fists and slammed the direct blows into Saitou's gut. Each fist slammed hard into Saitou, crushing more of his ribs and forcing more blood to splatter out of his mouth. The Dark Angel's face contorted with a mixture of pain and fear. Yes, for the first time since forever, the Dark Angel was feeling FEAR for the Mazoku.
Omega X continued on with his ruthless, demonic assault as his fists were doing their damage onto Saitou. The Dark Angel didn't even get a chance to counter attack with the Mazoku maintaining total control over the fight. Omega X pummeled away at Saitou madly and ferociously. The sheer might of his Mazoku strength caused the rock column to crumble. With one more powerful thrust from his left fist, he drives it directly into Saitou's chest cavity and…
…
…
…
CRAAAAAAAAAACK!
…
…
…
The sternum was cracked by the sheer force of Omega X's devastating blow. This caused Saitou to regurgitate even more crimson right out of his mouth. He was already losing more blood than he should have. Omega X's body was nearly drenched by the Dark Angel's blood and he smelt the stench. It was somewhat very pleasant to him.
The rock column collapsed to the ground and shattered under the Mazoku's might. Saitou's body fell down without a sign of life. Omega X followed out in pursuit of his prey and swooped down like a raptor. He sends a boot into Saitou's chest and cracked down his sternum even further. The Dark Angel continued to fight through this despite already being put near death as it was. The Mazoku was not going to let him off that easily. He feels the punishment was not sufficient enough. Dark Angel needed to be taught a lesson about underestimating the might of a true Digi-Mazoku.
The Dark Angel was indeed in for a rude awakening.
Other Side of the Dark Realm. Dark Ocean
Deep within the darkest depths of the mysterious Dark Ocean, there is an underwater dark city teeming with life. It is said that the ancestors of the Mazoku lords actually evolved from ancient undersea demons, but that was only a theory. It is said the lost data of killed dark digimon were sent here to be reconfigured. Not partially true since many have been sent to eternal limbo.
A pair of red fuming eyes watched the ongoing battle and gasped at the amount of power the Mazoku was emitting. It was beyond anything he has ever sensed during his long reign as the Dark Undersea Master.
…
…
The underwater Cthulu beast swung his squid-like tentacle limbs and snatched the orb. He didn't think that a direct descendant of a Digi-Mazoku lord would ever rise again. If there was anything that threatens this beast's kingdom was the awakening of another Mazoku.
"Another Mazoku son born after thousands of Digi-Millennia? Even a power of this magnitude will threaten the very existence of the Dark Ocean . MY reign was to be flawless without any interruptions to occur for another thousand years or so."
After unleashing a loud, deafening roar, the wings on the beast's back spread wide across. He felt anxious yet fearful of the Digi-Mazoku since he somehow knew the same being that awoken Omega X's Mazoku life force.
"Toushinmon. You dare to unleash this monstrosity onto the Dark Realm and the Digital Realms? If he destroys the Dark Realm, the balance between Yami and Hikari will be thrown out of proportion. Both human and digital worlds will suffer the most devastating apocalypse any being could ever phantom. Chaos and despair will spread. There will be nothing left. Even the Child of Light, who I had nearly had in my grasp, will not be able to push back the fury of the Digi-Mazoku's anger. For I, Dagomon, will not tolerate this. It's only a matter of time before the Dark God arrives to put a stop to this disaster. If this Mazoku is allowed to reach into his full complete control, then it is the end for all of us. Light and darkness. You'll regret making this mistake, Toushinmon. Your awakened son will end us all."
Stepping back towards the darkness of his underwater chamber, the monster identified as Dagomon backed away from his orb and sighed out. He came close to reaching God-like pinnacle power if he had successfully captured Hikari after the events of the War Games. Alas, he must sit within his kingdom and witness warriors surpassing his own divine power. Only time will tell if Dagomon will ever target the Child of Light again.
Suddenly, the dark sea master felt a powerful presence approaching the Dark Realm and shuddered at the thought of his reemergence. The time of reckoning was at hand…
"So, he has finally come. The day of reckoning has officially begun…"
(A/N: For those of you confused. Don't worry. I have a Dark Ocean movie fic based on the events that take place months after the conclusion of Virus' War Games.)
The Dark Realm. 8:44 P.M.
Back at the battle site of the mountainous range east of the desert valley, Omega X was still in complete control over the course of the battle. The warrior took advantage of his near dead opponent by winding up and driving a fist directly into his cracked ribs. Saitou gasped out as every ounce of air was knocked out of him and caused more blood to emerge out of his mouth. The Dark Angel could even barely breathe anymore and his vision was blurring out.
His life was nearing its climax and this wasn't exactly the way he wanted to go out before meeting death's doors. He could even barely make it to his feet and slowly raised his head to face the Mazoku warrior. Having seen enough of his adversary suffering, Omega X snatched Saitou by the neck and slowly raised him like a trophy prize. An evil, sinister grin forms across the Mazoku's face. It was time to end the Dark Angel's life for every horrible deed he has committed over the years. It was time to meet his maker.
Meanwhile, the two large groups were looking on with utter disbelief. It was a complete turnaround for the last battle that had occurred. They all knew that Tai had this fight in the bag and Saitou no longer stood a chance in hell. X became convinced of this by nodding his head.
"Awesome! Way to go, dad! Saitou's way out of my dad's league!" Max exclaimed.
"This is no contest anymore. We can all sigh a relief and know that we have been spared," Keke cheered.
"Unreal! This is completely unreal!" Gallantmon replied.
"Why didn't he have powers like these when I first trained him?" X wondered.
"Who would have guessed he was concealing so much power!" shouted War Angemon.
"Apparently, his and Agumon's ancestor was a god at battle and war," Dorothy stated in theory.
"There's no longer any chance of Saitou winning this, being a human as he is," Mystic Celesta nodded.
"Let's so hope, Kari," Sora thought.
Holding a tight grip on Saitou by his neck, Omega X held him dangling and felt his ki depleting rapidly. This man no longer posed any threat to the Mazoku warrior. All Omega X could do was snicker at the pathetic state of the Dark Angel. He was battered, broken and bleeding through the mouth profusely. The internal injuries were already taking a toll on his body, proving that he was no 'God' as he claimed he was.
"Ha. Do you really think challenging me was a great opportunity for you?"
"… Argh… Gah…"
"WELL! DO YOU!"
…
All the Dark Angel could do was gag once Omega X's hand gripped tighter around the man's neck. A snap was heard as the warrior's grip was crushing Saitou's voice box slowly. The more slow the pressure, the more pain escaped through Saitou's body.
"I am not going to be beaten by the likes of you."
Saitou could hardly even speak out as he gagged out desperately for a chance to speak. The Mazoku warrior wouldn't give him that opportunity. The Dark Angel had now just become another victim of the Digi-Mazoku's wrath.
"Now to finish this."
Omega X brought Saitou closer to him up close and goes face-to-face with the struggling human. All Omega X could do was snicker and taunt his dying adversary. There was not even a shred of remorse across the Mazoku's demonic eyes. He only uttered three words.
"Playtime is over."
With that said, the Mazoku warrior tossed Saitou's helpless body up into the skies above. The man's body was flung across like a lifeless rag doll. It was time… Omega X was hell bent on finishing his greatest enemy and his best opponent. He proceeded to cup both sides to his side and maximized his ki to ten times the normal ki energy. He collected a massive ki ball around his palms and was prepared to finish. The Terra Beam, at ten times the power, was ready to be launched for Saitou's near lifeless corpse.
"Get him, dad! Let him have it! Make him pay for everything he's done to us!" Max encouraged his father.
"Do it, Tai! Don't give him another chance to regain his strength!" Ultima X calls out.
"LET HIM HAVE IT!" the majority group of the warriors called out in support.
"This is the only way. If Saitou-san continues to live any longer, he will only open more tunnels to release devastating monsters on our worlds," Rei thought. "Do it, Taichi. End his suffering."
Grinning like a madman, Omega X was prepared to launch his largest Terra Beam ever created. But before he had a chance to call out and shoot his attack, a telepathic link was cut off. Omega X's eyes returned back to reality and looked down to notice his hands forming a massive energy ball.
"What's happening! Who's doing this! Why am I set on launching this blast!"
Suddenly, Omega X looked back and came to the realization that he was no longer in control of his own actions. There was another force at work and controlling Omega X like a marionette. He no longer had control over any portion of his body, but his mind was coming back to him.
"Hey! What are you doing! Give me back my damn body!"
"BE SILENT! YOU JUST KEEP QUIET AND WATCH!"
"Like hell I will!"
With an internal struggle taking place within the warrior's mind, the 'being' has regained complete control over Omega X and forced him to unleash his most powerful technique. This would be one a grand scale, which puts every other Terra Beam to shame.
"DIE! TERRA BEAM! TIMES ONE THOUSAND!"
Finally, Omega X pushed his hands forward and launches a building-sized energy beam directly into the heavens. The entire area trembled heavily under the blast's sheer might and howled towards Saitou's flying corpse. Everything began to run into slow motion but not long before Omega X regained control of his mind. The link with the 'being' was cut off and the Mazoku warrior looked up towards the Dark Realm's pitch black skies.
Everyone else looks on with utter disbelief at how immensely large the Terra Beam looked from a far distance. It was under the firm belief that not even Saitou would even stand a chance to withstand this grand scale attack.
However, Omega X had a different opinion on the matter. He calls out indirectly towards Saitou as if warning him about the massive blast aimed directly for him.
"SAITOU! MOVE OUT OF THE WAAAAY!"
Upon hear this warning call, the groups were gasping on in shock. They couldn't believe that Tai would even call out to warn the Dark Angel about the approaching attack even after the hell he has put the whole Digi-Destined team through. Max didn't believe his own father would so any mercy for a man who had just murdered him in the cave.
"Dad! Just what are you thinking! Isn't this what you wanted! To avenge us for everything he's put us through! Saitou made his bed and now he has to lie in it!"
The massive Terra Beam was coming in at a speed already beyond the light speed. However, the whole scene had turned into slow motion to bring about a more dramatic effect. Omega X looks on with his mouth gaping open in bewilderment. He couldn't believe he had launched an even larger Terra Beam than his Times Ten. Saitou could even barely manage to hear the sonic screams of the blast launched at him. His Ki Kou Toui armor was quickly dispersed and his civilian clothing returned all torn.
The Dark Angel barely moves his head to the side to see the massive beam coming right for him. An instant flashback of his entire life had flashed before his very own eyes, much like Omega X endured before his eventual end. However, in this case scenario, there was no coming back for Saitou. He manages to smirk for one final second before the beam directly nailed him head on. His body became swallowed by the monstrous blast and sent hurtling across the Dark Realm's landscape. His shirt was completely disintegrated within the blast with his lifeless body going along for the ride.
The blast went shooting across as far as the nearest mountain range. One millisecond later and that mountain range were reduced to a pile of rubble. The blast landed onto the surface and exploded into a massive scale impact. The blast disperses out and in its place was a massive cloud of charred smoke.
"No! Damn it! Not like this!" Omega X calls out.
He instantly flared up an aura and takes flight across towards where his blast had sent Saitou. Meanwhile, the warrior's comrades were caught surprised by this turn of events.
"What! Why is he even doing this! He set out what he wanted to accomplish!" Susanoomon exclaimed.
"He finished off Saitou and won the day, but why is he even worried for his survival?" Ultima X wondered.
"Well, he certainly can't make up his mind, can he?" Sonja sighed.
"Dad! Wait for us! We can confirm his death by checking out where that blast sent his corpse!" Max calls out.
"Tai. What's the meaning of this insanity?" Metalla X thought.
"I've got to wonder what my brother is thinking," Mystic Celesta wondered.
"Well, there's no point in looking on like a bunch of dopes. C'mon, we have to check this out!" X calls out to everyone. "Hey, Izzy!"
Hearing upon his name called, the computer whiz looked up to see X waving out to him directly.
"I wonder what's up? First Tai launches that killer blast, roasts that Saitou creep and then goes chasing after him," Mimi said.
"I don't know but I saw a disdained look across his face. Something was troubling him," Rosemon replied.
"He's worried about Saitou," Hercules Kabuterimon answered.
"Huh! But, why! Shouldn't he at least be happy about his victory!" Kazu cried out. "He kicked Saitou's ass, made sure he paid the price and sent him packing with that attack!"
"Yeah! That was like the mother of all Terra Beams!" Kenta replied.
"I'm just relieved that it didn't manage to reduce this planet to rubble or we would have been screwed," nodded Guardromon.
"Well, whatever the case, X wants us to follow him. Besides, I really want to go see Pikkan and Leomon," Jeri stated. "Ready to get going, Suzie?"
"Yes. I'm worried for Henry and Terriermon," the Wong child said with worry in her voice.
"Well, then. Shall we get a move on then?" Antiramon suggested.
"Sounds like a plan," Zudomon stated.
"They're heading out to where Tai just left. Let's move out!" Joe calls out to the digimon.
With that said, upon Joe's command, the remaining digimon marched across the landscape. Just ahead, they saw the devastation left behind by the Terra Beam. The once beautiful mountain range was nothing more than a large mile-wide pile of debris. Charred smoke emerged from out of pot holes and faint steam emerged to signify that magma would surface soon.
"Incredible! Look at all this!" Cody gasped. "Tai did all of this with his Terra Beam. I'm so glad he didn't decide to destroy the Dark Realm."
"One would think he was only aiming for Saitou and nothing more," Ankylomon stated. "I'm glad we were on the receiving end of this."
"Hey! Look! They're already over there as it is! Phoenixmon and the others are where Saitou was possibly last seen," Izzy announced to everyone. "Though I doubt Saitou will ever be the same after Tai's largest Terra Beam attack."
"Yeah! There's no way he could have survived that!" Kazu declared. "I mean, several mountain ranges were reduced to rubble and this whole dimension trembled under his power!"
"Well, this is Saitou and he's been pulling off some indescribable feats thus far," Hercules Kabuterimon stated.
"Admit it to yourself that there was no way he would have survived that! I agree with Kazu for once," Mimi sighed.
"They're already gathered around! Let's hurry it up, Zudomon! I want to see this for myself!" Joe calls to his partner.
"Right!"
Unbeknownst to them, an anonymous pair was slowly emerging from out of a cavern behind heavy brush. The first to reveal himself was Ryo Akiyama and the other… was Monodramon. His eyes were set directly towards where the groups were heading out to view the site of the destructive blast. The dark presence within the dragon digimon felt Saitou's life force being drained away and nodded his head.
"So, it has been done? Saitou has fallen. No matter, I will step in to have some fun with these foolish humans. Game, set, start."
…
…
With Phoenixmon landing down, the passengers on her back got off and gathered over to find Omega X holding Saitou's lifeless form by what was left of his shirt. Screaming out of anger, Omega X was shaking Saitou in attempt to reawaken him. There was still a tiny portion of life force left in Saitou despite being blasted by an enormous blast that Omega X had just demonstrated. As soon as Phoenixmon landed, the other warriors levitated to the site.
"Tai! We're here! Hey! Aren't you paying attention!" Gallantmon calls out.
"He isn't even acknowledging us," War Angemon worried.
"What's this all of a sudden?" Metalla X wondered.
"C'mon, Saitou! Wake up! Wake up, you stupid son of a bitch! Open your eyes! That finish didn't count! We have to do it over! We can restart and finish where we left off!"
Omega X held Saitou's lifeless by his sleeved shirt and strangled him to wake up from his small coma. The warriors gathered and even they were confused by his behavior.
"What are you saying, dad? You just kicked his butt and now you're begging for him to wake up?" Max asked with confusion.
"I mean. Isn't this what you wanted?" Shintomon asked.
"You got your revenge," Rei Saiba stated.
"Tai! Listen to yourself! You just scored a huge victory! Saitou has been decisively defeated!" Pikkan.
"You kicked his ass! You have earned this victory!" Cyberleomon proclaimed.
"Whoever might have fired that Terra Beam wasn't me!" Omega X declared.
"Huh! But we clearly saw you fire that blast," Beelzebumon said.
"Yeah. It looked like me, but it wasn't really 'me' me! It was my body but it wasn't the actual me in there! By the time I realized what was happening, I had already blasted him!"
"What do the hell do you mean! Have you lost it, Tai!" Sora exclaimed towards her husband.
"Yeah, maybe you ought to lie back and rest some rest," Keke suggested.
"Maybe this new form of his is making his mind hallucinating," Dimitri wondered.
Suddenly, having realized he has a small portion of life left, Saitou coughs out a mouth full of blood and wheezes heavily. The group all gathered around gasped in shock but Omega X put his hand out to everyone to stand back.
"Saitou! You've alive!" Omega X gasped. "Shintomon. Can you come over here and heal him with your powers? Something to restore his strength? He's not even dead and needs a boost."
"Unfortunately, I can't, Taichi," the higher digimon sighed. "I already used up most of my energy while fighting him. All I can do is offer comfort by softening his pain."
"Feh. Just soften his pain, huh? What good are your powers when you can't use them?" Omega X scoffed. "What about you, TK and Kari? You have your Hope and Light mystic powers to heal him."
"Sorry, but we used up most of our energy too. Besides, I would never heal a bastard like that after everything he's put us through," War Angemon growled. "He's no better than any other villain we've faced."
"Kari…?"
"No, I'm sorry. We need to recover our energy."
"I see… Ok then. What else can we do! We can't just leave him like this! This is not the way I wanted our duel to end! Not like this! I'm disappointed to not finish such an honorable battle. Fine, we'll just give him some medicine. Pikkan, you still have access to the digi-healing pills?"
"Yeah, but it will require time to regrow more."
"Time isn't exactly what we have left. Ok, Pikkan. Go ahead and take your time. We'll wait out, but I can't say the same for Saitou."
"No, that won't be necessary."
As soon as the mysterious voice calls out, everyone turned around to locate the source of the voice. Omega X looks up ahead to find a portal opening through time and space itself. He felt the familiar ki of the human boy who had conspired with the Dark Angel. Neo Saiba emerged out of the portal with a cut across his left eye.
"Neo! You're still alive!" Rei calls out. "oh, brother! I'm so glad to see you!"
"Rei… I'm sorry for the trouble I've put you through. Do you forgive me?" Neo offered a hand out.
"I… Well…"
"No way she would ever shake hands with the likes of you again!" Max growled. "You didn't even care when Saitou nearly had her killed!"
"I've looked back to my mistakes and I'm ready to make a fresh start. Besides, Saitou wouldn't have killed her with me at his side."
"You're not making any sense!" Keke hissed.
However, Rei was starting to realize what her brother was trying to tell her. She looked directly into his eyes and sensed she could trust his judgment. A small smile forms across her face.
"You're forgiven brother. Besides, we were both misguided by Saitou's ways," the younger Saiba replied.
"Yes. I knew you'd see it my way, sister. Now we can return back home as a family."
"So, you're going to actually wait out for father to return?"
"…"
"Neo?"
"That's not important now. You're not the only reason I came here, Rei," Neo said as he shifted his attention on Omega X and his friends.
"So, you came here to finish the job?" Omega X growled. "You should know that this is my new War God form. Even a mere human like you would be pissing their pants."
"Um, Tai. I doubt he came here to fight you," Sora whispered.
"Just let him speak what he has to say," Lady Moinanea suggested.
With a single nod, Omega X gazed over back to Neo Saiba and watched her emerge out of the portal. The boy walked over to the fallen Saitou and lowered his head.
"Just let Himo die like this, please," Neo replied.
"No! Don't be ridiculous!" Omega X retorted. "You keep out of this! No matter what, we're going to have a rematch!"
"Tai! That's enough!" Pikkan snapped.
"Yeah, dad. Don't go blowing off steam already," Max said.
"…I won't be satisfied if it ends like this!" Omega X speaks out. "I wanted to end this fight on my terms with the final blow!"
Letting out a sigh, Neo lowered his head once again and unveiled a startling revelation that would change the face of everything that has occurred until now. Even the Warrior of Courage was set to be taken back by this startling truth.
"Don't be foolish, Taichi Kamiya. Himo had only a half a month left to live anyway."
By the time he unveiled the truth, the entire group's mouths opened and their eyes widened. Silence had befallen them as they couldn't even belief what Neo had just stated. Yes, it was indeed fact. Saitou was already due to die sooner than any thought. Perhaps this was the reason why he was anxious to enter the Dark Realm. The mood made a complete 180 with the warriors and Digi-Destined speechless without thought. Their enemy that they had been chasing this whole time was already going to die even if he had declared victory.
Even X, Saitou's former teacher, couldn't believe the revelation. He stepped forward with a saddened look across his face. Everyone, including Omega X, lowered their heads over to Saitou's near lifeless corpse. His eyes were closed and his breathing was already shallow. Minute by minute passing, his life was already giving away to approaching after life.
"Himo was suffering from a malignant illness," Neo spoke to break through the temporarily silence. "He's all messed up from the inside. Doctor Akira confirmed that. Unfortunately, with his best medications, even he couldn't cure it. Any ordinary human, digimon or being would have already have been in their grave now. But, not Himo."
"No… Is this your damn idea of a joke?" Omega X growled intensely.
"Ugh… He's telling the truth," the voice of Saitou managed to speak up.
The group turned their attention down towards the fallen Dark Angel. Omega X walked closer over to Saitou and noticed a look of sympathy in his eyes. Even the warrior of courage was convinced that Saitou was speaking the truth. He felt his energy decreasing rapidly and the pain his body was undergoing.
"I'm… not making any excuses for my loss, Taichi Kamiya. With your Terra Beam, you proved to be many times stronger than I ever hoped to become. You are beyond even my greatest power… Even my Saint Light ki was utterly useless… against your Mazoku strength."
"No! That wasn't even my power!" Omega X retorted as he feel to his knees. "At that time, I wasn't even aware of what was going on! You and I need to finish our fight! I need to be convinced on who is the better man!"
"You must have unconsciously mastered the power you couldn't handle and fought that way," Saitou cracked a smile. "You clearly released that power. I'm convinced enough that you are indeed the victor."
"Damn it! No, you're not even listening to me! That still doesn't sit right with me! That wasn't me! I can't be satisfied!"
Growing frustrated, Omega X picked Saitou up by his sleeve and begged for him to reawaken from his near unconscious state. No matter what he tried that still didn't change the fact that Saitou was already near death's doors.
"You've got half a month! That's plenty! Take some painkillers or something! After you heal up, we can resume where we left off! We can do this over!"
"Tai, please. You're going to make a complete ass out of yourself like this," sighed Metalla X.
"Good grief, even he still wants to fight him beyond death. I'll never get these Kamiyas and their pride," Gallantmon sighed. "No offense, Kari. Max."
"None taken," the two Kamiyas responded.
Just then, the group turned to see Hercules Kabuterimon, Rosemon, Guardromon, Antiramon, Zudomon and Ankylomon arrive at the scene. Each of their passengers hopped off. Jeri was the first as she runs over to Pikkan and Cyberleomon. Calumon flew across to follow her along.
"Pikkan! Leomon! Oh, you two are all right!" Jeri cried out with joy. "I was so worried about you two!"
"Jeri, you should know that nothing was going to happen to us," Pikkan smirked. "Besides, it's going to taken more than injuries to kill this Alterian son of a-"
"Hey, what's going on here? All I'm hearing is Tai crying," Izzy spoke out.
"He's not happy with the result of the fight," Shintomon answered.
"But I thought he just blasted Saitou and clearly finished the fight," Kazu stated. "We clearly saw Saitou bite the dust!"
"Yeah! Tai totally rocked out there!" Kenta exclaimed.
"You two don't get it," Sakuyamon answered. "Oh, we'll tell you why a little later."
"Well, I'm interested to know," Cody replied with curiosity.
Listening upon Omega X's outbursts, the party group that had arrived gathered with everyone else. They were witnessing Omega X kneeling over while holding a grip on Saitou's torn sleeved shirt. The warrior turns around and looks up towards X with a begging look.
"Don't just stand there, X. Can't you do anything with your powers to restore him back to full health?"
"If I still had the ki energy I stored inside the Nexus Emerald, I would have easily treated him here," X replied.
"And the digicores are still inactive. So we can't use them to restore his health," Lady Moinanea reminded the warrior. "You also forget that even if the digicores were active, they are unable to cure natural diseases. So even when one dies of illness, the digicores cannot bring them back to life. Even if we upgraded, it still wouldn't make a difference. I'm sorry, Taichi."
"Plus, Himo already blew away my Nexus Emerald with his Saint Light ki," X continued on. "Besides, a good portion of that energy got consumed inside the cave along the way."
"What! What do you mean!" Omega X asked.
Outside Demon's Cavern. 8:50 P.M.
Back outside the cavern territory, Gosenzomon had heard the entire conversation at hand. He motioned over towards the hovercraft and watched as a pigtailed girl awakened. She gasped as she looked across her body and realized that she was brought back to life. But, through the digicores? No, since they are still inactive. This was all thanks in part to X's Nexus Emerald powers.
"What just happened? One minute I'm dead and then I'm alive again? This isn't even remotely possible," Mari looked around confused. "I'm outside…"
"Well, did we get ourselves a nice little nap?" Black Gatomon said while approaching the girl.
"Wait, you're a digimon, aren't you?"
"Duh. My name is Black Gatomon," the male feline responded with a bow.
"What on earth happened to me here?"
"You've been saved by that X guy's emerald thing," Arukenimon answered her.
"Whoa! You're a digimon, too!"
"Arukenimon's my name."
"Don't worry. We're not going to hurt you," Mummymon replied.
"Um, ok. Now I'm surrounded by some weird people!" Mari panicked.
"Don't worry about these three," Buddamon spoke out while approaching the girl. "You'll be just fine. We're going to be sending you back where you came from soon."
"You mean, back home to my own world?"
"That is correct, but first there are some things that is needed to be done."
"Oh, but what about Saitou-san? Did he even reach the Dark Realm?"
"That he did."
"I see… So that man did get his wish after all," Mari sighed. "Do you know how he's doing?"
"I'm afraid he's already near death's doors as we speak. I'm sorry…"
This news brought shock to Mari as she lowered her head. Despite feeling betrayed by the Dark Angel, she at least felt some sympathy for the man she looked up to. She was even happy enough to call him her 'father'.
"Saitou-san. I can't believe it… Well, at least you got your wish. As long as you're happy, then I shouldn't have to worry. You've at least taught me some new quality ideals about life. I'll never forget the advice you've given me."
Gosenzomon nodded his head before setting his sights back on the viewing orb. He knew that the battle was already drawing to its inevitable conclusion.
"It's about time we wrap this up… Wait, why am I still feeling this dark vibe inside that territory. What else could be lurking in there without the Digi-Destined knowing? I smell trouble."
What was the elder sensing and could he be hinting to the untimely arrival of the dark spirit inhabiting Monodramon's body? Only time will tell and there wasn't enough time to spare.
Inside Saitou's Cavern Lair. 8:51 P.M.
As the DW-STF still hard at work over sealing away the tunnel, the cocooned form of Myotismon started to tremble and release twin beams of energy. These beams materialized to take the form of two humans. One of which was a boy with a weird-mask and the other was an older man with long, dark hair.
Thanks in part to some of X's Nexus energy, the spirits of Sigma and Oikawa were restored. However, the same cannot be said for Myotismon since he was still sealed inside Mystic Celesta's tree.
Oikawa was the first to awaken as he found himself within the caverns. He gasped as he made eye contact with an unconscious Sigma.
"What is this place? What am I doing here?"
"Mr. Oikawa…" Omegamon X spoke out.
Turning around, the man found himself in the presence of the DW-STF general. Omegamon X offered a hand out to Oikawa. The man reluctantly took the digimon's hand but gave in.
"Don't worry, Mr. Oikawa. We'll make sure you are in good hands."
"But, what about the boy? We can't just leave him here."
"…"
"Well?"
"My men will help to carry him out later. You stay put until we're done sealing this tunnel."
"Do what you will. I need a little time to recollect my thoughts."
"As you wish…"
With that said, Omegamon X walked off from the man and resumed back to sealing the open tunnel with his comrades. This left Oikawa to kneel beside Sigma's side. He was hesitant at first since he was swallowed by Sigma in the first place. However, Oikawa wasn't going to abandon the boy in favor of his own life. He picked Sigma's body up and started onward towards the area where the DW-STF was hard at work.
"General! We've gotten word that monster activities are starting to decrease in the human world, but they will require our assistance sooner or later," War Greymon X reported.
"Ok, then. Once we seal this tunnel up, we shall move out to the human realm to take care of the problems. Is that clear?"
"SIR! YES, SIR!"
"Just what in the world happened here while I was away? I hope Taichi and those Digi-Destined are all right. Did they manage to find the Dark Angel?"
The Dark Realm. 8:51 P.M.
Having heard X's side of the story, Omega X approached him with a quirked eyebrow.
"So you used some of your Nexus Emerald's energy to restore the lives of Mari, that Sigma kid and Mr. Oikawa."
"I've also managed to restore Hideto before I arrived at the caverns, too. Those kids will be directly sent back to their own world. As you know, they are not native in this dimension and it's up to Buddamon to send them away."
Suddenly, their conversation was hastily interrupted by a slight chuckle from Saitou. Both X and Omega X turned around to face him.
"You think that's funny?" X asked.
"I took that into account… Your Nexus Emerald was the last barrier, after all… I needed you to waste some of your ki power before using the Nexus Emerald on me… so that I could open the tunnel, and come to the Dark Realm."
"Himo, why did you go through all of this, just to open the tunnel to the Dark Realm? What reason compelled you to go through all the trouble to come here in the first place? You nearly risked all of humanity…"
"The Dark Realm… feels like home. The Dark Realm is the birth home of the virals that I killed, without knowing why I was doing it. Ever since I was a little boy, everything seemed strange… Why were there creatures that only I could see? Why did they hate me? Why did they want me to die? Without knowing the reasons, my fighting skills became sharp. Surely, I was a warrior for the righteous cause, and they were the villains, here to bring death to humanity. I had no doubts about such a simple duality. But I was wrong. The humans that I was sworn to protect were the very lowest of creatures. They were the greatest monsters than any of the virals I had slain. When I started having my doubts about my actions, I wondered what happened to all the virals that I had killed up until then, and was overcome by a feeling of helplessness. When I learned that I was out of time, my emotions erupted. Once that happened, I wanted to come here, no matter the cost. I wanted to see their world through their eyes. I'm glad to finally have come to their world. My true purpose was to die in the Dark Realm… and to be killed by one. My defeat came at the hands of a true Digi-Mazoku. Of course, that won't allow the virals that I killed to rest any easier… I can now finally rest."
"Oh, Himo," X muttered in sadness.
"Saitou-san," Rei whispered while feeling sympathy for the pitiful man.
Saitou smiles before turning his attention back directly on Omega X. He prepared to give him one final message before his soul was set to drift away into the after life.
"Taichi Kamiya. You seem to greatly enjoy yourself when you're fighting. For the first time, I, too, enjoyed fighting, if only for a moment. Until then… Thank you."
With that said, the Dark Angel closed his eyes slowly. The brightness within them started to fade away and his swallow breathing was decreasing. He was no longer even inhaling another whiff of air. His entire body trembled before succumbing to death and no longer twitched a single muscle. Finally, his head tilted to the side and… from there he died on the spot, but he died peacefully. The Dark Angel had finally succumbed to eternal peace.
Lighting struck across the background and everyone remained silent for the loss of Himo Saitou. The warriors felt no more ki energy within his body and felt his life force drifting away into an abyss. Rei Saiba shed a few tears before setting her sights on her brother.
"I'm ready to go whenever you are, Neo…"
Sitting up from the ground, Omega X lowered his head with his gaze on Saitou. Neo bends over and places an arm over Saitou's lifeless corpse. Almost immediately, Neo shifted his glare directly at Omega X and slightly turned his head away. He knew that Taichi was his rival from another world yet he knows he is powerless against this Taichi. Omega X turns away from Neo and places a hand over Rei's shoulder.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this, Rei?" Omega X asked.
"I'm sure."
"Oh, Rei. I wish you could at least stay a while," Max said.
"I know, but Neo and I are not natives in this world. We're intruders and should be returning home. But, I really want to thank each and everyone of you. Most specifically to Taichi, Sora and Max. You three are the best. Sora. I know you will take good care of Taichi and raise Max to be a wonderful young man."
"Oh, Rei…"
The Saiba female walks over to Sora and hugs her. Sharing some tears, Rei fid her farewell to Sora and kneels over to Max.
"Max. When you and Keke grow up, hopefully you'll remember me."
"We will, Rei. I know we came across with misunderstandings…"
"That was my fault, but you alone helped me what it was truly like to have true friends. You indeed are the son of Taichi Kamiya. Stay true to yourself and remain close to your friends. One day, you'll become a great young man with a bright ambition."
"Thank you, Rei. That really means so much."
"Yes… Well, take care Max. Keke. It was nice getting to know you."
"Likewise," Keke gives her a thumbs up.
Finally, she made eye contact with the older version of the young boy she grew to love in her world. She was a little intimidated by his Digital Level Five Mazoku form, but she knew it was still Taichi no matter what. She embraced the warrior and cried over his shoulders in happiness. Omega X patted her back gently. Neo was a little uncomfortable with the scene, however, he knew that his sister loves Taichi. He would allow her to have this chance to say her goodbyes.
"Taichi, it was great to know you in this world. Now I understand how it's like to have true friends. Even in this world, you're still the goofy guy who would pull pranks. Coming back to life like that? Lady Moinanea told me everything!" Rei giggled as she lightly punched him on the right shoulder.
"Ha! Well, I had to lighten up the mood. I hate getting depressed."
"You're no different from the Taichi of my world. You have yourself a sweet wife and a wonderful son. Take good care of them. Your son will grow up to be a great man like you."
"Rei. I don't know what else to say…"
"Just don't forget about me," Rei responded with a bow. "Arigato, Taichi-kun. Take care everyone!"
As Rei waved out to her new friends, she was unfortunate to leave them behind. The group each waved their goodbyes while others acknowledged her by nodding their heads. Once Rei stood by her brother's side, X motioned over towards Saitou's corpse.
"Himo. I'll take you myself…"
"Stay back!" Neo hissed. "I won't let you! Himo's gone. He's had enough. Let Saitou rest in peace, already. His desire was to be killed by the strongest of the Mazoku warriors in the Dark Realm. It turns out that Taichi and his digimon partner have now become the descendants of a Digi-Mazoku lord. They have become apart of the Mazoku race. Knowing Himo, he must have been happy about that."
"Neo, I…"
"X. Himo overcame those seven personalities that he created to withstand his self-contradiction, and in the end, he returned to the once pure Himo that he was. Saitou's soul has been saved in part."
Opening his hand behind him, Neo created another portal. This time it was large enough for him to carry out Saitou's lifeless form. He kneeled over to place Saitou's arms over his right shoulder. Neo placed a hand over the man's back and slowly started to drag him into the open portal. Accompanying him was Rei.
"Where are you going and taking Saitou?" X asked.
"Home. While Saitou was born in this continuity, we're taking him back to our world. Rei and I are taking him where his soul won't be subjected to your overbearing scorn and judgment. His soul will be safe from hypocritical higher powers who train a boy to be a killer and then hunt him down for being one as a man. You people… do NOT deserve to have Himo's soul. You should go to find another opponent, and continue to fight. We've had enough of it. Rei and I are going to give this man a proper burial that he deserves. Farewell to thy all."
With that said, Neo carried Saitou's lifeless form into the vortex portal. Rei followed him along but then turned around to face the team. Unlike neo, she gave them a warm smile and waved her final goodbyes to the group.
"Goodbye, Taichi. Hopefully we will meet again. Take good care of yourself. Don't worry about Neo and I. We will work things out. Until then, sayonara."
The tunnel closed up behind the Saiba siblings as they were transported back to their home dimension. Neo would ensure that they would return home safely without any disruptions.
The groups were left behind to think about everything that had just occurred just now. There was simply a lot on their minds, including Saitou's truth about wanting to go to the Dark Realm. Omega X felt the most disappointed out of the team and scoffed.
"Thanks, Rei. I do hope we will eventually meet again."
"Ok, now that was unexpected. I never saw that coming," Max sighed while falling back.
"Oh, Max. You're so silly," Keke giggled.
"Damn it!" Omega X cursed. "If I kicked his ass, then why does it feel like he won?"
"It's true in a way if you think about it," replied Shintomon. "He achieved the very goal he intended to accomplish from the beginning. More or less…"
"I agree, but it's a shame Tai never did get to finish it the proper way," Dorothy sighed.
"That takes care of one problem," Dimitri said. "Looks like our job here is done…"
"Afraid not. We still have a lot of cleaning up to do," Izzy stated. "Earth is still flooded with monsters. Looks like we'll need to find as many laptops as we can."
"That shouldn't be too difficult for us," Mega Gargomon said.
"A worldwide invasion of monsters is really nothing new to us," Susanoomon agreed. "The only thing we need to do is get out of here before we get trapped inside here."
"Um, before you guys ask anything else, how do you like your new form, dad?" Max asked. "I mean, wow! This Mazoku form is awesome!"
"Yeah, you could just call it my Digital Fusion level five form," Omega X replied.
"Oh, is that so? Well, if you can do it, then so can I," Metalla X scoffed.
"Hoo boy. I know where this is going to lead up," War Angemon sighed.
"Tell me about it," Ultima X nodded. "Hey, babe? Ready to get going?"
"As I ever will be…"
"Whoo. I can sure use a rest after this is all said and done," Gallantmon sighed.
"We'll get one when it's time," Sakuyamon said.
Calumon dives over towards Omega X and playfully lands in his hair.
"Yay! Tai's got a new form! Oh, by the way, did you notice your hair?"
"What about it?" Omega X noticed his spiked, silver hair. "Yeah, doesn't it look like I had stuck my hand through an electric socket?"
"I remember you actually doing that once," Mystic Celesta giggled.
"I did not!"
"Yeah, you did! The whole house lost power because of your stupid action!"
"Oh, Tai. What am I going to do with you?" Sora sighed.
"Well, he is your husband," X snickered.
"Oh, is that so, Max? How about I rearrange your hair!" Sora said as she grabbed X's hair. "Here! Let me style it for you! Ha! There!"
"Hey, watch the hair!"
"That would be something, my Matt would say. Right, honey?" Mimi teased Metalla X.
"Um… I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Wow, plus those tribal markings," Max stared in awe over his father's new form. "You're so awesome! My dad can do anything! He's ascended through five Digital fusion forms! Anybody who objects to my dad being the strongest, say I…"
For a moment, there was nothing but silence until Keke spoke up.
"I!"
"Oh, you object, Keke!"
"Yeah, cause I know my dad will eventually reach a level similar to your dad's level five."
"But your dad is no Mazoku!"
"So? He'll find a way to transform into something cooler than a Mazoku."
"Oh, you'd like to see our dads fight again, would you?"
"I sure as hell would!"
"Fine then! We'll see who comes out on top next time! What do you say?"
"Hey, I'm cool with that to be honest," Keke smirked while looking out to the skies.
"Whatever makes you happy," Max whispered as he snuck up on Keke and started tickling her.
"Ha! Ha! Ok! Ok! I quit! You win!"
As the children shared a playful game, X steps forward to confront Omega X.
"As you should know, Tai. Agumon. Your ancestor was apparently an Upper S or even a Super class being. When I say ancestor, he's probably alive somewhere in the Dark Realm."
Lowering his eyes, Omega X managed to mutter, "Is that right? I'm sure he must have been the one who took over my consciousness in the middle of my fight with Saitou."
"Huh? Is that possible?" War Angemon asked.
"What makes you so sure?" Cody wondered.
"Maybe you were just hearing voices," said Joe. "Sometimes you would need to find some help if you're all of a sudden hearing voices."
"You're right, Joe, but I did really hear a strange voice."
"Wow, my brother's hearing voices?" Mystic Celesta wondered.
"Then again, you did used to glow and become possessed by the source of light," Ultima X said. "Don't you hear voices from time to time?"
"Sometimes, but keep those to myself."
"Whoops, sorry I shouldn't have brought it up."
"It's okay, Davis," Omega X spoke up for his sister. "Apparently, now I was possessed by my ancestor because I heard his voice and he personally turned me into his own personal marionette."
He instantly looked back to that moment before he ascended into War God Mode and finished off Saitou. He remembered those forceful words from that other being.
"You are the one at last…"
"Who are you?"
"You don't know how to use your power! LET ME SHOW YOU!"
These were the words that came straight out of the being's mouth that enabled Omega X to become what he is right now.
"The last thing I heard before everything going silent, I blacked out."
"Then what?" Ultima X asked.
As soon as David asked that, Omega X cupped out his hands in front of him as if he were preparing to fire off his Terra Beam. This caused Ultima X to leap back and trip over backwards.
"Ow! Hey! Watch where you're pointing that thing! Give a little warning next time!"
"He's just demonstrating, Davis," Sonja sighed.
"Well, you asked me what happened next, Davis. When I regained consciousness, I had fired off my largest Terra Beam ever. It had power beyond compare. There's no way I could release it now. I saw that blast heading for Saitou as if everything were in slow motion. That guy… I can't forget that face. He is deep within the Dark Realm."
He turned around and faced directly towards the beyond the Dark Realm territory with a determined look. That look indicated that he was more than ready to locate that Mazoku ancestor of his and beat the holy hell out of him.
"That settles it!"
"What's the matter?" X asked.
"I'm… I'm going to go look for the guy that controlled! If that old bastard is still here, then I'm off to find him myself!"
Everyone stood back with utter silence as none of them were brave enough to talk the Digi-Mazoku out of his choice. However, Sora stepped up and disagreed with her husband's choice.
"Tai? What are you talking about! Let's just drop the matter already. C'mon, let's go home together. It's been a rough few days. I'd like to leave this place. The sooner, the better."
"As it is, I haven't gotten any satisfaction!" Omega X growled. "My ancestor intervened in on an awesome fight I was having. He's going to pay for that! If you guys aren't with me, then fine. I'll go find him on my own."
"Well, Tai, you may want to give this decision some thought."
"Huh?"
"I'm sure that in the Human world, the Digital World Special Task Force have been working frantically to close up the tunnel. It's not something that they couldn't handle, either. They could probably have that tunnel sealed up as instantly as two hours."
"Wait a minute! If that hole is sealed up, then we…?" Max asked with worry.
"We can never return to the Human world," X answered his question.
"Ack! C'mon, dad! You might want to reconsider!"
"Please, Tai. I don't want to be stuck here," Mystic Celesta asked her older sibling. "You know how I react towards the powers of darkness."
"Likewise," nodded War Angemon.
"Tai, you have two choice. You can either go back to Human world or stay here in the Dark Realm. It's your decision alone and I won't force anything on you. One or another."
For a minute, Omega X was frozen silent and rethought his decision over. The others looked on silently while patiently awaiting his choice. Would he rejoin them back home or stay within the Dark Realm to search for his ancestor?
"I'll give you some time to think it over."
"Ha. I don't need it. I made up my mind."
"Well, Tai…?" Sora muttered.
"Dad…?
"Tai…" the majority of the group said amongst themselves.
Turning around, Omega X gives his comrades a smirk across his face and nods his head in comply.
"Let's load up, everyone. We're going back home."
"Oh, Tai. Thank you," Sora said with a tearful smile.
"Yay! We can go home now!" Max cheered.
As soon as everyone started celebrating their leader's decision, a pair of footsteps was heard behind them and a snake-like voice interrupts their joyous moment.
"Oh, leaving so soon are we!"
Everyone became alert for a moment and the digimon instantly turned around to find to their surprise: Monodramon and Ryo. The dragon digimon stepped forward with his eyes brimmed a crimson glow and a smirk forms across his face. He found the individuals he was looking for at last.
"Ryo! Monodramon! Just, what the heck are you two doing here!" Sakuyamon asked.
"How did you know we would be here?" Gallantmon said.
"Well, let's just say I followed you by instinct, since this place is my own little kingdom."
"Own little kingdom? Ok, now he's starting to lose me," Jeri whispered. "what do you think, Pikkan?… Um, Pikkan?"
Suddenly, the Alterian's face twisted with anger as his fists trembled uncontrollably.
"What's eating Pikkan?" Kazu asked.
"Hey! I remember this now!" Metalla X blurted out. "You! You're not Monodramon!"
"What are you talking about? Of course, he's Monodramon. I admit he's been acting strangely for the past few days since that monster emerged out of…" Ryo cut himself off before remembering that event.
"But, I thought you guys already defeated Millenniumon! You destroyed all seven of the monsters!" Suzie exclaimed.
"That we did, but we weren't sure if the real him would even bother showing up," Dorothy said.
"Well, since I can't find my ancestor! I guess I'll have to take my damn frustrations on the mastermind behind this whole scheme!" Omega X growled as he stepped forward.
"Tai!" Sora calls out to her lover.
"Stay back, Sora. This will get ugly. All right. You little punk! You had better spit out that bastard so I can knock some damn sense into him!" Omega X threatened him. "I know you're not Monodramon because I sense a dark ki within you! Now show yourself, Millenniumon!"
"It couldn't be him, could it!" Mimi cried out.
"You damn right it is," Metalla X nodded. "I can sense that ki anywhere! It's the same one I felt when he emerged out of this guy. I won't forgive you for what you've done to my son from the future! You killed Dimitri!"
"Killing my future self! Well, that's on my ass kick list!" Dimitri growled.
"Ha! So you fools do realize that I was the one who orchestrated this entire plan? Yes, all I needed was for you to get rid of Saitou for now. With him gone, I can pick up where he left off. But first, allow me to emerge out of this vessel. It's getting a little cramped up in here."
As he said that, Monodramon cackled a sinister laughter and pushes out a dark force from out of his body. A thick black smoke engulfed the now unconscious dragon digimon. It materialized into the form of a black dragon with brimming crimson eyes. His appearance was rather frightening with the skies already turning darker than they were. His mouth became equipped with an array of razor sharp teeth while smiling down upon the warriors. The warriors stood their ground while the some of the humans hid behind their digimon partners.
"Yeah! That's the same ki I felt when this guy emerged out of Monodramon before! I've never felt such pure evil," Omega X thought. "At last we can settle this and end the nightmare. He's the one who orchestrated this whole plan! I took out Saitou and I can definitely defeat this guy!"
"No! What is this!" Ryo exclaimed. "So, you… you were the one who possessed my partner's body!"
"Ah, I see you still haven't recovered your memories, Akiyama. Well, allow me to explain. The story is thus… Years ago, you had teamed up with a boy's partner, ironically named Agumon, to rescue the original Digi-Destined from my evil clutches. Let's just say that how we first became acquainted. At that time, I was a fusion crossover of both Machinedramon and Kimeramon. I'm sure you remember those two monsters, Digi-Destined?"
"Machinedramon was one of Burizalor's top men!" War Angemon growled. "How can we forget him?"
"Or Ken's Kimeramon! I destroyed that thing years ago!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"Seems you've had your share experiences with monsters that once made up my original body. Using my time warp, I resurrected some of your own enemies in another world. However, you Digi-Destined were very different. There were no Digital Fusions. No Omega X for Taichi. No War Angemon for Takeru. Not even Mystic Celesta for Hikari. You only had your digimon partners and nothing more. I could have crushed your weaker counterparts like little ants if I wished but I let my own arrogance blind me. It was then that Ryo and Agumon saved the original Chosen , destroyed their enemies and defeated me in the process. I wouldn't have my revenge until several human years later. Ryo once again took up arms and teamed with two individuals. Those two would end up being Davis' Veemon and Ken Ichijouji."
This revelation caused everyone within the group to gasp out in shock. Even the monster was familiar with Ken, their now deceased comrade.
"Hey! Speaking of which, we just collected the digicores! Once we get them reenergized, then we're wishing our friend back to life, pal!" Ultima X spat out. "There's nothing you can do to stop that!"
"Oh, I shall stake care of that little problem soon. But you just interrupted my story. Allow me to continue."
"Why I outta!"
Sonja placed a hand out in front of her husband and nodded her head.
"Ugh, fine… I'll listen to what this bastard has to say, but I get the first shot at him! His monsters put us through enough trials as it is."
"With the help of his two new allies, Ryo was set on sealing me within a dark crystal. Before I was sealed, I took this chance to release the Dark Spores."
"Dark Spores! Now, I remember Ken telling us this!" Cody exclaimed.
"As I aimed a spore directly for Ryo, that no good Ichijouji jumped in the way and thus the boy genius became infected with the Dark Spore. However, this was a different Ken from the one you know in this continuity."
"So, there are different alternate versions of us then?" Omega X muttered.
"That's right, Taichi. I've seen universes where you alone are able to merge with Agumon to become Omega X. You only had your digimon partner and your digivice. Comparing them to you would be like comparing a meteorite to a tiny pebble."
"Um, nice little analogy there," Izzy stated.
"I've seen a world where you have a Veedramon for a partner rather than an Agumon. I've even seen your human ancestors within human history."
"You must have been very bored if you were looking in through alternate mes."
"However, my story with Ryo did not conclude from there…"
"How come I don't remember any of this!" Ryo gasped out in shock. "Why aren't there any memories!"
"Ryo…" Gallantmon whispered.
"I'm getting to that part. Yes, once I was sealed away in the dark crystal, you entered a competition against many other Digi-Destined. With your superior skills, you triumphed over them all, Akiyama. It was revealed to be nothing more than training session orchestrated by the Harmonious Ones, or the Holy Beasts as you Digi-Destined like to call them. Or in the Tamers case, the Sovereigns. They did this to train Ryo in preparation for my return."
"But, I thought you were sealed inside a crystal! You even said yourself!" Max blurted out.
"There's no way you could have still posed a threat!" Dimitri exclaimed.
"Ah, children. So naïve. Ryo was just like that every time I would indeed return from death. You can't kill a Dark God such as myself. I will always come back. I returned, but in a new form. I became back as MoonMillenniumon. Once Ryo and I battled to the end, I tore open a portal in time. From then, I hurled myself and Ryo through it. That is when you were sent into the Digital World's ancient past, Ryo. You lost your memories since then. During those beginning events of the Digital World, you met Monodramon. He would then take you to ENIAC, the world's first computer."
"ENIAC, huh? That makes sense," Izzy said.
"What's ENIAC?" asked Joe.
"It stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer," the computer whiz answered. "Gennai told me everything there is to know about it."
"I see somebody has been doing their homework. Koushiro Izumi, I assume? Yes, you're still the brilliant mind much like your alternate counterparts. ENIAC, that damned fool, revealed that there are many Digital World realities. Those realms grew out of him alone. It was then that I, taking the form of Xeed Millenniumon. I conquered the future and defeated all the opposition who had dared to challenge my power. That included your alternate counterparts, Digi-Destined. Tamers. Legend warriors. I conquered you all. However, that wasn't enough to satisfy me. I would set my sights directly on the past. From there, ENIAC gave Ryo the power to journey through space and time, in an effort to halt my plans. After journey through many adventures in various, different continuities, Ryo would confront me. But, I was the bearer of bad news when I offered this revelation."
"That being?" Omega X asked curiously.
"That I am actually Ryo's partner, but there was a small problem. Monodramon was in the way of our destiny together. I couldn't become Ryo's partner if Monodramon was still alive. Unknowingly, that little wrench forced a Jogress evolution between me and him. We merged together into a Digi-Tama, better known as a Digi-Egg. It was then that Ryo was set on entering the actual Tamers universe. But, there was a change in plans. Using what little dark energy I had left, I forced a hole within time and space to enter back to the Digital World's beginnings. This event alone wasn't even supposed to happen. Once I entered the beginnings, I found myself trapped beyond a Wall of Fire in your time world, Digi-Destined. The being that was supposed to emerge was Apocalymon. Taking on my Xeed form, I easily dispatched Apocalymon and took his place as the being to break out of the Wall of Fire. As you know, I had broken into two halves. One of which resided inside Monodramon as this shadow form as you see before you and the other resides within the Dark Realm waiting for the day the two dark halves would merge again. Once my other half manifested its territory within this Dark Realm, he created everything within, including the life forms. The dark Ocean, Dark Dimension, the Shadow Dimension, etc. each became domains under my watch. But it was the virals decisions to create their own governments, including their own law and order. I was simply the God that gave them the tools necessary to build their kingdoms."
"Kind of like the God of Biblical stories," Mystic Celesta said.
"That's correct, my dear Child of Light. How can I forget that you are indeed a threat to everything I worked hard to build. I'm sure Dagomon would enjoy your company again."
"Bastard! She doesn't need to be reminded of that!" Ultima X growled.
"We don't care who you are! We can still take you!" War Angemon threatened the Dark God.
"Maybe now, but you won't be saying that once my two halves merge and we become one. You will regret those words, Warriors of Hope and Miracles. Now, with my emergence in this plane of existence, it caused a dramatic effect on time and space. My presence created a chain reaction that would change the physics of his Digital Universe."
"That would be…?" Metalla X said.
"The emergence of the four Digital World realities. Yes, it was then that the four Digital Worlds became one. Digi-Destined, your world is watched over by the great dragon Azulongmon along with three of his fellow Holy Beasts. Tamers, your world is ruled by Zhuiqaomon's watchful eye with his three fellow Sovereigns. Legendary warriors, your world is watched over by the Three Celestial Angels and the demigoddess, Lady Moinanea. As a matter of fact, my lady, you aren't supposed to exist."
"But, I am here now! Aren't I!"
"You created the black Digicores as a last resort to defeat Lucemon. Alas, you never had a chance to use them. As you can see, your worlds intertwined into separate planets across four separate galaxies. North. South. West. East. At the center is the realm of Huanlongmon. Above him are the Supreme Guardians, with only one heir survivor. Isn't that right, Shintomon?"
"My three fellow Supreme Guardians were killed by the D-Reaper. Why bring back such painful memories?"
"I apologize for the losses. I didn't realize you still grieved over their losses. Pathetic. You, Shintomon, aren't supposed to exist from the alternate Digital Worlds I journeyed across. Huanlongmon was supposed to be the watchful ruler of the realms, but it seems you managed to surpass him in this continuity. As a matter of fact, Digi-Destined. You were only supposed to occupy this world for yourselves. Since I emerged out of the Wall of Fire, the Tamers and Legendary warrior Chosen were eventually born in your world, Digi-Destined. That was a chain of events never supposed to occur. You aren't even supposed to share the same human world, but alas you are thanks to me. Now the four Goggle head leaders share the same earth together. Taichi. Daisuke. Takato. Takuya. You four should really thank me for granting you this opportunity of a life time."
"What!" the warriors exclaimed out in unison.
"Since I emerged into his universe, I spawned children of my own to do their own evil biddings. I'm sure you are quite familiar with my favorite children, Mutalior and Burizalor."
"How can we forget about those two heartless monsters! Burizalor's caused us enough grief as it is!" Sora calls out in defiance. "How sad you had to create monsters when you couldn't find us on your own!"
"I needed to wait out on time in order for you Digi-Destined to get stronger. With each new enemy that has attacked your planet, all of you have gotten stronger. In fact, I do believe some of you have already reached the S-Class level. Taichi's the strongest at the near Super/Upper-S class level. Once I manifested myself into the Dark Realm, it spurred chained reactions within the physics of this universe. The concept of Ki-energy became vital for a digimon. That explains the reasoning for your digimon partners to fire away energy blasts strong enough to destroy a skyscraper. Some with enough power to destroy an entire planet or even a galaxy. The Ki alone has made each of your stronger than you could have been before. So, in a way, I'm fully responsible for allow you to increase your power levels to indescribable heights. In fact, Digi-Destined who have merged with their digimon partners… Even in your human base forms, you have demonstrated some show of superhuman abilities, including all six senses more keen, being able to track down ki signals, maintain an increased metabolism and able to run long distances."
"Yeah, we already know that but we just choose not to use those second hand abilities!" Ultima X scoffed.
"Ha! Well, thanks to your bonehead move, we've already become stronger to take creeps out like you!" Susanoomon laughed.
"Yes, that's right. Laugh it up because you won't be laughing now as I'm through with you. Yamato, I'm sure you are familiar with me ending your future son's life? He put up such a valiant effort, but he was stressed from the wars he had with the artificials of his time period. I had to put him out of his painful misery. I did you a favor and you don't wish to thank me?"
"That was my son you just killed! You bastard!" Metalla X growled as he went to attack the Dark God.
Omega X grabbed out his rival's hand and restrained him.
"No! Let me go, Tai! I'm tearing this guy to shreds! No one messes with my family and gets away with it!"
"That tears it! I'm ready to knock some sense into this creep!" Mimi exclaimed. "This one's for Dimitri!"
"For the future me!" Dimitri roared as he powered up an aura.
"Ah, a little family get together? You three ought to think about putting yourselves together a nice, family picnic."
"No way! We'd rather send you back to the hole where you crawled out of!" Keke spat out.
"You're quite the brave little thing, aren't you, Keke Ishida? Now onto you, Taichi. While Ryo is essential to me, you are one warrior that has caught my keen interest. Over these past five years, I watched your power grow to tremendous heights. All other Taichis can no be compared to you. You are the One above them all. You have conquered many of the top, strongest enemies of this universe. Burizalor. D-Reaper. Bebimon. A few of my own monsters. Just now, you've just defeated Himo Saitou. That is quite the astonishing feat. To top it all off, you are revealed to be the Digi-Mazoku's descendant son all thanks in part to merging with Agumon's data seed to become Omega X. Since that event, the Mazoku seed resided within you and your partner. With your Mazoku powers awakened, this is my opportunity to challenge your might, War God."
"Heh. So now I've already gotten your full attention," Omega X smirked.
"About time you decided to take us all on," Pikkan growled. "We've waiting for the day you come out of that shell of yours!"
"Before our battle commences, do you remember what Atolmdramon said?"
"About what!" Omega X screamed out.
"I see your brain isn't exactly your strongest muscle in your body. Allow me to refreshen your memory. He mentioned that you are responsible for the creation of the Seven Shadow Beasts."
Upon hearing the shadowy beast, Omega X instantly looked back and remembered what Atolmdramon had revealed to him concerning the digicores.
Switch to Flashback: Atomldramon's Revelation
"You're going to make me pay? Besides, who was it that gave me life? It was you, Taichi Kamiya."
"What are you talking about! I thought Millenniumon created you guys!"
"Half-way true, Taichi. No, but it was you who created us. Over the many years, you and your comrades also have overused Azulongmon's digicores. We, seven monsters, were spawned from the digicores overuse. Combine that with Millenniumon harvesting them with his evil essence and we emerged out of our shells. The way Earth is being disrupted right now, it's all your way. The digicores' use almost immediately trace back to you. All of the events that have occurred since you became a Digi-Destined is your fault. After being helped by the digicores so many times, don't you go ask for anything again."
Atolmdramon steps forward calmly towards Omega X and kneels his head over the warrior.
"Yes, it is all your fault, Taichi. Millenniumon has been waiting for the day you and your friends least suspected his arrival. Now was the perfect time to emerge."
"Look! I know I feel responsible for this whole mess. I'm sorry. I couldn't control fate when I was chosen as a Digi-Destined. I couldn't control fate when X chose me as his replacement apprentice after Saitou went whacko. And I definitely could not control my fate to become Omega X, the first digital warrior in over thousands of Digi-Millennia. It's just as Gosenzomon had warned me before- we shouldn't had used the digicores repeatedly. There would have been severe consequences. But it was Millenniumon that planted his seeds of evil into those cores and in turn created you seven! But, this is different! I'm going to defeat you with my own hands!"
"Humph. That's easy for you to say, but it's too late for forgiveness. If you are truly sorry, then apologize with your own life!"
End of Flashback
"Hmmm. As you can remember, you and I were responsible for the destruction of this planet. The Seven Shadow Beasts emerged because of your overuse of Azulongmon's digicores and my dark essence tainting their purity. Now with Azulongmon's power weakening, the digicores are no longer active. Ha! This is exactly the perfect needed for my reemergence! All the enemies you have defeated, excluding for a few, have been absorbed into my body. That includes the souls of both Virus and Burizalor!"
"What! But we killed those bastards!" Ultima X exclaimed. "How did you end up absorbing their souls!"
"When you least expected it. I had given those two a chance to redeem themselves. Yet, they let their new powers bestowed to them go to their heads. Virus was unable to avenge his loss to the Child of Light and thus Hikari overpowered him with the Warrior of Hope. The Warrior of Miracles carried out your honor, Taichi, by slaying Burizalor. Those two monsters' souls have become one with me and they shall be useful. For their valiant efforts, I shall avenge them and all my dark children."
The entire warrior group quickly took battle stances with the other Digi-Destined and digimon standing behind them. Omega X was at the center front with his eyes directly set on the shadowy Millenniumon.
"I see you guys are ready to get this started. Ok, I'm game, but first. Let's even out the odds."
With that said, Millennium's eyes once again brimmed with crimson light. He looks over to Ryo and caused him to lift off the ground. The teen struggled to break free out of Millenniumon's control and screamed out.
"Help me! Let me go! Guys! Help!" Ryo screamed out.
"No! You put him down!" Omega X exclaimed. "Your fight is with me!"
"I told you I was evening out the sides, Taichi. Don't you not agree with getting rid of Akiyama? He's no longer even a factor in our battle. Ryo. You have proven to be quite the nuisance and the only one capable of destroying me. Alas, because of your nobility, you shall have the honor to become one with me. Enjoy your new home, my friend."
Cackling with a thunderous laughter, Millenniumon snatches Ryo with his tail and slowly brings him towards himself. The teen screamed out and watched as his body was intergrading with the beast's shadowy form.
"NO! RYO!" the Tamers exclaimed out in unison.
"LET HIM GO!" Omega X cried out. "HE'S DEFENSELESS!"
"Now for his pet…"
Lashing out his tail once again, Millenniumon snatches up Monodramon's unconscious form and absorbs him into his shadow body. With the two being processed within his form, Millenniumon was emitting a dark, purple aura of negative ki. Almost on cue, a monstrous figure emerged out of the forest. Omega X and his comrades gasped out at what they had revealed itself. Unleashing a pair of horrifying demonic screeches, a two-headed beast merged out of the forest. Its body was a swirling ring of data codes encircling it like an atomic. A pair of reptilian limbs emerged from the front and two heads protruded out of the sides. One was dark blue while the other was a maroon color. Their teeth were equipped with razor sharp dagger like teeth and their eyes were demonic black with yellow irises at the center.
"AH! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!" Mimi screamed out of fear.
"That has to be his other half! So it was watching us this whole time?" Dorothy gasped. "Millenniumon had this well prepared."
"How observant! As you can see, this is Xeed Millenniumon. He's mainly a mindless beast with some of my own essence. With our two entities together, we can finally merge into one. Now, pay attention, warriors! This is what DIGITAL FUSION is all about! FUSION SHINKA!"
As soon as the shadow bellowed out that command, the shadowy quickly condensed itself and clouded Xeed Millenniumon. The two-headed beast screeched out so loud that the entire dimension was trembling under its sheer might. The warriors stood their ground while getting everyone together. Omega X was shocked beyond believe, as even his Mazoku senses were picking up a strong, evil ki from this monster. There was nothing good emitting from the Dark God. It was nothing but pure darkness.
"So, we finally get to see what you're truly capable of, Millenniumon. Judging by your power, you're going to prove to be even greater than your previous forms."
"Dad! Get away from there!" Max calls out.
"Tai! Get over here where it's safe!" Sora screamed.
However, Omega X did not reply as he remained poised. He watched Millenniumon carefully once his shadow merged with the twin-headed Xeed form. However, the Dark God was not complete. Now he was starting to undergo a transformation. His body trembled and bubbled up. Unleashing a mighty God-like roar, Millenniumon sent a powerful wave of energy that caused the entire Dark Realm to tremble. Every life form felt his awakening power and hid away. However, the digital warriors stood and were prepared for anything that Millenniumon was set on delivering.
The beast's body melted away into a pile of black ooze and dripped down to the floor. The two heads merged together with the bodies of Ryo and Monodramon. The dark shadow loomed over their forms with a sinister laughter echoing.
"No! Let Ryo and Monodramon go!" Gallantmon calls out defiantly.
"So, this is the final enemy we must face? Is this part of the final part of my prophecy?" Lady Moinanea thought. "I knew that the Dark Angel would be the greatest obstacle for the One, but how does the Dark God figure into this…? Wait! I remember now!"
Switch to Flashback: Years before the battle with Lucemon. Dragoon Kingdom
Many Millennia ago, there was a kingdom of dragon-human like beings residing in a mighty empire before the wars between the human and beast type digimon. Her majesty, King Moinanea, ruled over the Digital World long before the three Celestial Angels took position rule.
Strolling across her majesty's palace, Princess Moinanea, at an adolescent age, looked across the row stack of books. She immediately pulls out a prophecy book she had thoroughly studied for many years since her childhood. She flipped through the pages and gasped when she came upon the picture of a two-headed beast with data spiraling around its body. The name of the beast was not identified in the book, but it was definitely a hieroglyphic of the Time Demon himself, Xeed Millenniumon.
There was yet another cryptic picture on the same page. It is said once the Dark Angel had fallen then the Dark God would manifest into a new destructive form that would create chaos across time and space. No one would dare oppose the God's wrath. Plastered across the page was the image of a bipedal white-skinned dragon with a pair of horns emerging out of its head and a pair of black spikes out of it's back. It basically had the might and sheer frightening appearance like the Devil himself.
"What is this…! I haven't seen this portion of the prophecy! Is this the missing piece to the final battle of our existence. The final battle to determine the fate of the four Digital Realms? Of all reality as we know it? So, the One and his Allies will form an army to combat the Dark God and together they shall…"
Much to her dismay, the final portions of the writing after 'shall' was not completely written. The prophecy wasn't complete. What exactly does this mean? Would there be victory for the heroes or destruction of all reality? Those were the questions plaguing her mind as it is.
End of Flashback Scene
With a matter of moments, the shadow merged with these pieces and condensed into thick dark cloud. Everyone looked over towards the newest form Millenniumon had taken. Lady Moinanea's eyes widened in fear but Shintomon was there to stand by her side. The image of that same white dragon Time Demon was coming into realization. The last cryptic prophecy was indeed coming into light. First, his body emerged followed by his limbs and his head. The beast's entire body was pale white with tints of dark blue around his shoulder areas, around his waist and in between his legs. His face was long and pointed out with a pair of matching color white. Long pointed ears emerged out from the sides. A pair of long, bladelike spikes protruded out through his elbows and stuck upward. On his back was a row of large black spikes that were each as deadly as a pit of spikes. His chin consisted of a black blade-like spike tip. His knees were also equipped with a spike of the same color. The hands and feet were equipped with claws. His body was very muscular in appearance with his upper body chiseled out, including around the chest. His shoulders are massive, including the size of his arms. Biceps, triceps and everything were huge. He opened his eyes to reveal white with red irises at the center. Opening his mouth, a purple tongue emerged to lick his sides as if he were ready to consume his prey. Finally revealing his true form, Millenniumon stood out and motioned over towards the warriors with a sinister grin. The Dark God had gained a new form and new power to boot. However, his power was still not yet complete.
"BEHOLD, FOOLS! THIS IS MY ULTIMATE FORM! ALL OTHER FORMS OF MILLENNIUMON WERE NOTHING MORE THAN CHILDS PLAY! FOR NOW, I AM NOW CALLED ZEED!"
With everyone looking on in shock, the digimon began to feel out how frightening his power had grown. It was not just powerful but pure evil. Nothing like any other being before. Omega X was the first to step forward with the other S-class warriors.
"Heh. Yes. I can tell you are all speechless over the amount of power I'm giving off by standing here. I could guess that you are all impressed."
"So, this is the true you, huh! Damn, I must say your power is greater than I first imagined, but really? You can't take even all of us at once. I'm already surpassed an S-Class as it is," Omega X grinned. "I've already taken out Dark Angel and now you're the next to go."
"Well, it's too bad that Mazoku lord won't help you in this final battle, warrior. No, my power isn't complete yet. All I need are a few more essentials if my power is to become complete."
With a snap of his fingers, Zeed was set to reveal those few essentials. One of which would cause Ultima X grief.
"Bring whatever you've got to the table, Zeed. This is where you last stand as far as I'm concerned," Omega X thought.
Tomochi Ichijouji Residence. 8:55 P.M.
Already having arrived at the home of Ken and Yolei, the Inoue siblings and the Ichijouji parents arrived with Ken's body. Wormmon squirmed across to follow them.
"Careful with Ken's body, please. We can't let his body rot or anything of the sort," Wormmon worried.
"Don't worry, Wormmon. We've got this under control," Momoe assured the green little caterpillar.
However, before long, Ken's body was starting to emit a static like spark across his body. Wormmon gasped and jumped over to Ken's corpse. It was starting to transform into a black-and-white TV-like static. This started to creep out the families as they watched Ken's body starting to fade away. Wormmon held a tight grip on Ken but not long as his body was fading as well.
"Don't you go anywhere, Ken! I'm coming with you!"
With that, their bodies instantly vanished out of thin air. The families were stunned in silence for a moment. Mrs. Ichijouji fainted while her husband managed to catch her.
"Just what exactly is going on here!" Mantarou thought. "Don't tell me this has anything to do with the Digital World? If it is, then I fear for the worst…"
Half a mile from Demon's Cavern. 8:55 P.M.
On their way over to the caverns, Yolei rode on Aquillamon as they journeyed over to where their friends were currently positioned at. Sam, David, Tike and Kara followed her along as they realized they were starting to fade away, much like Ken and Wormmon before them.
"Mom! What's going on here!" Sam asked frantically.
"I have no idea! Hang on everyone!"
With that, they, too, vanished out from sight and disappeared to where Ken and Wormmon were transported.
Inside Demon's Cavern. 8:55 P.M.
The cocooned form of Myotismon was materializing with the same static form and was quickly transported out. Just, what does the vampire lord have anything to do with Zeed's plan?
The Dark Realm. 8:55 P.M.
With everyone transported to the spot, the warriors looked across to see Yolei, Ken, the children and Myotismon's cocooned form. Zeed set his interests directly on Ken and raised his blood using telekinesis.
"Hey! Wait!" Yolei cried out as she realized Ken's body was being raised.
"KEN! ZEED! PUT HIM DOWN! YOU BASTARD!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"On the contrary, I could care less for Ichijouji. I only came for what I needed."
"The Dark Spore…" whispered Mystic Celesta.
"Correct, Child of Light. Once absorbing the Dark Spore, my power will be greater then it ever was. However, I'm not finished just yet."
Snapping his fingers once again, the cocooned form of Myotismon levitated over towards the mighty Dark God. He motioned over towards Lady Moinanea and raised his fingers to cause the digicores to levitate out of her grasps.
"No! The digicores!" Lady Moinanea cries out.
"You leave those alone!" Shintomon exclaimed.
"No, they are useful when it comes to my grand ascension to God status. Time to split the three of them! Ha!"
With that said, three of the digicores were once again split in halves as before. He waved out his fingers and commanded the digicores to fly over directly towards him. But just as the last halved piece flew away, Omega X snatched it in time and held it directly in his grasp.
"Hey! You give that back!" Zeed growled.
"Sorry, but I can't let you have this one. Let's just say I made a promise to an old friend one of your own subordinates killed."
"Ah, I see. Well, no matter, with the Dark Spore, the remaining digicores and this fool's soul, I'll be able to reach my maximum power! Now, BEHOLD THE ASCENSION OF A GOD!"
Roaring out with great power, Zeed sent a powerful wave that caused the ground to uplift. The warriors each scattered across by taking flight and gathering up the others who are unable to take flight. Zeed extracted the Dark Spore from out of Ken's corpse and absorbs it directly into his body. Once he finished collecting the item necessary, he tossed Ken's body aside. But Ultima X managed to catch his friend's corpse in time.
"There. I've got you, Ken," the warrior of miracles said. "Thanks to you, I've become stronger than I've ever have."
Next, Zeed absorbed the six digicore orbs directly through his chest. The once light orbs transformed into dark sphere as they became embedded around Zeed's chest. Only one was missing at the top right hand corner, since Omega X had snared it. At but not least, Zeed crushed the cocoon containing Myotismon and forced out a packet of data. Knowing Myotismon was immortal, Zeed took this opportunity to absorb his data, power and inherited abilities. The final phase of Zeed's was at last complete. His body emitted a dark column of light to shoot directly through the heavens of the Dark Realm.
The newly full powered Zeed stepped out of the dark column of light with electric bolts streaking across his powerful form. A sadistic grim forms across his chagrin. The warriors were prepared to face their final enemy: the Dark God has finally reached God-like pinnacle feats.
"So, what do you think of my power, Digi-Destined? Tamers? Legendary warriors?"
"…"
"Speechless? Yes, I know even I agree my power is beyond anything I can comprehend. I stand before you as your final enemy! But, I shall not be done in like that fool, Himo Saitou! Today is the day you all DIE!"
"Ha, well you're definitely not the first to threaten us with those words," Omega X replied.
"We've already come across jerks like you and beaten them all," Ultima X growled.
"You won't be any different, Zeed! You're going to pay for taking Ryo and Monodramon like that!" Gallantmon defiantly exclaimed.
"Altogether, even you can't take us S-class warriors on by yourself," Susanoomon spat out.
"Hmmm, those are awfully big words coming out from the mouths of four incompetent goggle heads. No, I was thinking we ought to even out the battle field. Mind if I make a suggestion?"
With that said, Zeed pointed his finger directly aimed at the War Angemon and Mystic Celesta.
"I have decided the first to go will be the Warriors of Hope and Light. Farewell!"
Unleashing two massive energy blasts from his finger, two projectile shots aimed straight for the two royal knights. Mystic Celesta and War Angemon couldn't even move as they didn't have time to create barriers to protect themselves. Ultima X looked across and saw this as his last chance to protect this two best friends.
"NO! KARI! TK!" Ultima X exclaimed.
"KARI! TK! MOVE!" Omega X roared out.
However, someone else intervened and injected herself in front of him. It was none other than Lady Moinanea. She selflessly threw herself in front of the two royal knights. She smiled for the last few moments until…
…
…
…
…
BANG!
…
…
…
…
Lady Moinaea's body shot back as the beams penetrated through her chest. Her eyes became glazed over before reminiscing the last moments of her entire life. She fell back and into the arms of Shintomon. Everyone, including the Supreme Guardian, gasped out. The first one on Zeed's killing spree was the demigoddess. What's worse was that her baby was killed in the process.
"MY LADY!" Shintomon screamed out as tears poured out of his eyes. "NO! WHY?"
"Lady Moinanea!" Mystic Celesta and War Angemon cried out.
"IT CAN'T BE! WHY HER!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"She selflessly threw herself in front of Takeru and Hikari!" Ultima X growled. "I would have done the same! That unforgiving bastard! I've already grown to hate him as it is!"
"Likewise," Gallantmon seethed as his body emitted a crimson aura.
"He doesn't even have an ounce of decency in him!" Dorothy growled. "Look at him! He's just cracked a damn smile!"
Witnessing these turn of events, Omega X trembled intensely with anger building up inside of him. He looked across to see Sora, Max and Keke gathered around the now deceased Lady Moinanea. He had already been through death as it is and was not ready to see anyone die. He directly turned to face Zeed with hatred across his eyes.
"YOU MONSTER! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!"
"I don't see why you all should be mourning her loss. I was directly aiming for the Angels of Hope and Light first. Then, it was off to dispatch the Warrior of Miracles. Lady Moinanea only brought this upon herself and her selfless sacrifice was such a waste."
"A WASTE! YOU CALL HER DEATH A WASTE! YOU HAVE NO CONSCIENCE! HOW DARE YOU EVEN MENTION HER NAME! I'M TAKING YOUR ASS OUT NOW!"
Cupping his hands directly to his right side, Omega X gathered enough ki energy through his palms and unleashed a mighty blast directly for Zeed. This one was similar in size and magnitude of the beam used on Saitou, only this time the ancestor would not intervene to help.
"TERRA BEAM! TIMES ONE THOUSAND!"
Once he launched the massive directly for the beast, Zeed merely placed out one hand stopped the attack at its treks. The groups gasped out in shock at the sheer power demonstrated by Zeed. With one hand, he was holding Omega X's most powerful technique. He caught the beam directly and crushed it with ease using his strength. The warriors gasped out in utter horror and disbelief. Even more shocked was Omega X. The same attack that defeated Saitou was easily crushed by Zeed effortlessly as if it were a water balloon.
"No way! He just crushed Tai's best attack!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Oh, man. This isn't looking good!" Susanoomon gasped.
"What kind of monster are we dealing with!" Cody exclaimed.
"As long as we're together, nothing will defeat us," Yolei assured everyone while holding tightly onto Ken's body.
"She's right! We're the Digi-Destined!" Mimi nodded. "We've overcome all our enemies before…"
"We're going to do it again by avenging Lady Moinanea!" Dimitri roared.
"For Lady Moinanea!" Max cried out.
"Monster! You're going to have to deal with all of us at once if you hope to come out victorious. We will ensure that you die for your crime!" Shintomon exclaimed out in defiance against the Dark God.
Merely tilting his head to his side, Zeed laughed out at their threats and clapped his hands.
"What a might comeback speech from our so-called heroes. You really know how to put on a great act, but really… All of you are scared and you know it. I can sense fear from each and every last one of you, including you Taichi."
"Bullshit. You can't just sense our fears. You're not going to get away with this!"
"Oh, but you see… I already have. I feel sorry for Lady Moinanea. She has no other comrades to accompany her in the after life. Why don't I send more of pathetic souls to their graves?"
As soon as he said that, the Dark God raises his right hand and pointed a single finger out. In a matter of milliseconds, numerous blasts emerged and shot directly towards the groups. It was thought that they were aimed for the S-class warriors but…
…
…
…
…
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
…
…
…
The victims this time around were everyone else, not at the A or S class level. That included Mimi, Joe, Cody, Yolei, Dimitri, Izzy, Keke, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Suzie, Sora, Sonja, Sakuyamon, Mega Gargomon, Beelzebumon, Guardromon, Zudomon, Ankylomon, Aquillamon, Rosemon, Wormmon, Antiramon, Marine Angemon, Phoenixmon, Calumon, Kara, Tike, David and Sam. Each and every one last one of them had their torsos ripped through by Zeed's deadly energy blasts. This resulted in Sakuyamon de-digivolving back to Rika and Renamon; Mega Gargomon transformed back to Henry and Terriermon. All other digimon reverted back to their champion or rookie level forms. As each body plummeted to the ground, there was silence for a moment. Then…
"NOO! MOM! KEKE!" Max and X cried out in horror.
"SORA! PHOENIXMON!" screamed Omega X.
"MIMI! KEKE! DIMITRI! ROSEMON!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"RIKA! RENAMON! HENRY! TERRIERMON! JERI! TAMERS!" gasped Gallantmon.
"DAVID! SONJA!" Ultima X cried out.
"TIKE! KARA!" Mystic Celesta and War Angemon exclaimed in horror.
"JERI! LEOMON!" Pikkan roared.
"HENRY! TERRIERMON! LOPMON! SUZIE!" Dorothy cries out.
"He got everyone else!" BW exclaimed.
"He wanted to get rid of the weaker links and sets his sights only on us!" Susanoomon growled angrily. "What's happening to their bodies!"
"They're all breaking down into data!" Shintomon exclaimed. "Oh no!"
With each of their friends lying dead and their bodies breaking down, Zeed levitated over their fallen forms and slowly absorbed their data through his chiseled, God-like body. The warriors stood their ground while seething. The most pissed off of the bunch was Omega X. Not only did he witness his own wife slaughtered in front of his own eyes but seethed at the thought of her data becoming one with Zeed.
"THAT BASTARD!" Max cursed. "YOU KILLED KEKE AND MY MOM! YOU KILLED EVERYONE WE KNOW AND LOVE!"
Looking down at his dirty work, there was nothing left of their fallen comrades. Their data had now become completely absorbed into Zeed's body. The Dark God felt his power greatly increase and he seemingly was enjoying the taste of victory.
"They were merely stepping stones. Each and every last one of them," cackled Zeed. "Such a waste, isn't it?"
"Everyone! I'm sorry for all this!" Shintomon grieved. "My lady. I've failed you. It looks like I may just join you soon."
"Oh, don't look so glum, fellows. You still have a chance to avenge your losses by fighting me, but then you'll only be joining them. Then, I shall absorb your data and each of you will become one with me. This universe and everything associated within it shall be mine for the taking! The legend that is the Digi-Destined will be erased for good! HA! HA!"
As the Dark Dragon God laughed heartily, Omega X and the remaining warriors stood their ground. Their chances of survival were very much slim to none at this point. Saitou was one powerful human but even his greatest strength paled in comparison to this destructive dragon god of darkness. Omega X remained poised and ready for whatever Zeed has yet to offer.
At long last, Omega X had achieved the Mazoku status and defeats Himo Saitou. However, it was a shame that Neo revealed that Saitou was already on the brink of death beforehand. With Saitou defeated, it seemed everything would be fine for our heroes. Unfortunately, the Dark God had finally emerged out of the shadows and has manifested into this walking terror of death. Millenniumon has now reached his Zeed form, a much more powerful entity than Xeed could hope to be. Already proving his might, Zeed has slain Lady Moinanea and at least roughly seventy percent of the heroes. How will Tai and the survivor manage to defeat Zeed with the six digicores, the dark spore, the power of the six Shadow Beasts and the souls of nearly every villain defeated in the past? The answer may lie in the one digicore piece in Omega X's possession. That item alone may help turn this conflict around and defeat Zeed. Only one way to find out…

Omega X/Tai: Hey, everyone! This is Tai speaking! Damn, just when he was coming off a win over Saitou! I should have kept my eye on Millenniumon!
Zeed: It's Zeed now! Warriors, I spared your lives for now for one reason. Battle me with everything you've got to offer.
Metalla X/Matt: It's out last chance to avenge our loved ones! I will be sure to make this count! This one's for Mimi, Keke, Dimitri and Palmon! Not to mention my future son!
Gallantmon/Takato: This isn't looking good! Now more causalities are being mounted!
Omega X: Damn! Now he's using the data he collected from our friends and creating his own dark warriors!
Metalla X: Tai! Fusion time!
Omega X: I can't since our power levels aren't in synch with each other! I'm at a higher level than you!
Metalla X: Let's at least give it a try!
Zeed: Now, let's see you fight darker versions of your own friends!
Omega X: No way! He's managed to snare Kari, Davis and TK under his control! How are we going to do this! I can't fight my own sister!
Metalla X: Or my brother or Davis!
Zeed: Allow me to direct you to the next episode title, humans.
The Unstoppable Zeed Spread his Blanket of Darkness! 'Everyone is My Enemy'!
Omega X: There's only one another chance! The digicore! Novadramon! Come forth!
Novadramon: Taichi… What do you need me for?
…
…
Shocked beyond belief, are we? Yeah, I wanted to introduce the element of surprise by having the majority of the cast killed off the spot. Don't worry, with only three more chapters left to, they'll serve an even bigger you can tell, Millenniumon won't be the same wimp that got beat by Ryo numerous of times before. This one will really live up to his name. :P
Didn't expect me to go from one battle to a total slaughter just right now? Heh, now our heroes are in deep trouble. In case you're wondering, I based Omega X's War God Mode off of Yusuke's Demon form and a fan art image of Super Saiyan 5 Goku. Yeah, I know Dragonball AF is fake but the design was awesome and I figured it would look good on Omega X as a final form. Zeed's form is basically Omega Shenron/Il Shenlong from Dragonball GT. :P
Well, I hate to do this to you all but I'm leaving this chapter up as a cliffhanger. The reason being is because I'll be leaving out of town starting tonight and I won't be back until next Thursday. Until then, you guys will have to be patient. So, this will leave you guys guessing on what happens next. The family I'm visiting has a computer so I'll still be checking back to see reviews and reading e-mails.
Hope that wasn't too heart-pounding for you. Because these next three chapters will blow your mind! I want to conclude the series on a high note and this was one way to go. Thank you all for the support and enjoy the upcoming final three episodes of Digimon Fusion. After that, I'll start writing the series of D-Fusion movies and specials.
Until then, peace everyone!

Yo! I HAVE RETURNED! I have returned to finish up the final chapters and put my Digimon Fusion to a close before I move on with the D-Fusion movie/OAV fics. This is the final battle of all the conflicts that have ensued throughout my four season series. This one will decide the fate of everything the humans and digimon have worked hard for! The Digi-Destined, the Tamers and the Legendary Warriors face their final enemy: Zeed. This version of Millenniumon puts everyone of his other forms to shame.
Ok, I was a bit overdramatic there. ;P Anyway, this is the final enemy of the Digimon Fusion timeline. With the majority of our heroes already meeting their untimely end, it's up to the remaining warriors to do everything they can to avenge their loved ones' deaths. Well, that's enough out of me. What do you say we get on with the show? I have no further comments, except… ENJOY THE SHOW! Sorry, I just had to say that. No seriously. Go… Read the chapter.
Previously on Digimon Fusion, a voice erupted from within Omega X's head. It was the voice of the Digi-Mazoku himself.
"You are the one! At last…"
"Who are you!"
"You don't know how to use your power! Let me show you!"
As Omega X ascended to his fifth level form, he viciously beaten Saitou to a bloody pulp and launched the most powerful Terra Beam created. The blast nailed Saitou head on and sent him across the Dark Realm a bloody and battered mess.
"As soon as I regained consciousness, I fired my largest Terra Beam."
"SHUT UP THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!"
"SAITOU! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!"
"I had power beyond compare. There's no way I could release it now. This Mazoku guy is deep within the Dark Realm. I'm going to look for this guy who controlled me!"
"Dad! Let's just drop the matter already!"
"No until I have gotten my satisfaction. He interfered in a great fight between myself and Saitou. He's going to pay for that!"
"Tai. Give this decision a second thought… You can stay here in the Dark Realm or choose to go back to the human world. Your choice."
"I don't need time. I already made my decision. Let's go home."
But before the heroes had a chance to move out of the Dark Realm, Monodramon finally arrived and the Dark God released himself in his full glory. Transcending past his previous forms, Millenniumon emerged as Zeed! His first order of business: absorb the digicores, take Ken's Dark Spore, and merge with Monodramon and Ryo. Zeed has become an ultimate god of destruction and dispatched at least seventy percent of the entire Digi-Destined team.
"BEHOLD THE ASCENSION OF A GOD!"
Our heroes face their final and strongest enemy: Zeed. Is there any hope left?

The Unstoppable Zeed Spread his Blanket of Darkness! 'Everyone is My Enemy'!
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Domain
Just witnessing the unexpected turn of events, the Holy Beast and Gennai had their eyes locked onto the viewing orb. Both had shocked expressions across their faces as they witnessed a majority of their own Digi-Destined slaughtered. Their hearts had suddenly felt heartbroken over the losses. They had never thought Millenniumon would actually reveal himself after being dormant for hundreds upon hundreds of thousand of Digital cycle years.
Gennai was literally on his knees and poured out tears for the losses of the Digi-Destined. They were not just defeated but massacred by simply energy blasts created by Zeed. All that remained to oppose his God-like power were the higher level digital warriors, including Omega X.
"Gennai. I would never think it'd be possible for him to return this soon. I thought he would never be returned to full power ever again. This is a day we have dread for so long…" Azulongmon sighed heavily.
"This can't… be happening. The Digi-Destined… They… They can't…"
"I'm afraid to say that they have… met their end. The Dark God has emerged more powerful than any other enemy they has ever challenged them."
"But, Tai… Omega X just came off with a huge victory over Himo Saitou! The war had finally been won and now this happens! Haven't we seen enough death and destruction!"
"…"
"Azulongmon…"
"No… I'm afraid the nightmare is far from over. As long as Millenniumon has obtained this new form, the four Digital Worlds… No, both the Digital and Human Universes are at risk of being wiped out. Zeed will lay waste to everything. Even Omega X's War God Mode will be no match for this overwhelming power…"
"No, but they will give it their all! Azulongmon! Do remember that monster has absorbed your digicores, not to mention Ryo, Cyberdramon and the Dark Spore implanted into Ken. Zeed has been well preparing this from the very star, in order to gain this new terrifying form. However, that doesn't change the fact that our strongest assets, the Digital Warriors, will take a stand and do everything to overcome Zeed. I have full confidence in each and every last one of them. Only they can prevent each of the four main Digital Realms from collapsing. They must prevent the devastation of their home world…"
"Gennai, I understand where you are attempting to get at my friend, but…"
"But nothing, Azulongmon. This is the one, final battle that determines all. The fate of human and digital kind rests on their shoulders. They didn't make it this far just to fall in defeat. Every challenge. Every dark power that has challenged them. Every anguish they have had to endure. The sacrifices made. Do you want to see all of that go to waste? I certainly do not. If Tai and his allies stand together, they have a chance. No matter how grim the situation maybe, there is still that glimmer of hope. You forget Tai still has possession a piece of your digicore. It just maybe the last resort needed to defeat Zeed."
After hearing upon Gennai's speech, there was nothing more the Holy dragon could do but chuckle in delight. He wanted to disagree with the Digital knight yet what Gennai had stated was very hopeful and promising. Azulongmon couldn't bring himself to disagreeing with his colleague and lose hope for his Digi-Destined.
"…Your speech inspires me, Gennai. You're right. We cannot give up on our champions. After all, our dear Lady Moinanea had just given up her life to ensure the survival of the Warriors of Light and Hope. She possesses a heart of courage and love. Courage for sacrificing her life and love for the warriors. Those two traits alone are something Zeed will never hope to comprehend."
Turning around to face Azulongmon, Gennai noticed portions of Azulongmon's celestial body fading away. It seemed as though something was already erasing him. The loss of the digicores was already taking a toll on their creator. It would only a matter of time before Azulongmon truly fades into a distant memory. Even Gennai knew that the Holy dragon would soon pass on due to the loss of the digicores. The Eastern Digital Realm just maybe the likely galactic sector to meet its eventual downfall. Without Azulongmon, the balance of that section will be thrown out of whack along with its most valuable resources.
"Just look at them, Azulongmon. Even, they know that they could very well meet their end. Yet, they aren't going to allow themselves to be swatted aside like insects. They know this will be their final battle. Every battle was merely steps leading to this one. Zeed CANNOT be allowed to clench victory or all will be lost. Digi-Destined. Old and New Generations. Digimon Tamers. Legendary Warriors. Please, we pray for your victory. Do not let the Dark God prevail if you wish for a bright future. May our prayers guide you to ultimate victory, our valiant warriors…"
Kneeling down in prayer, Gennai gives his respects to the warriors now hell bent on stopping Zeed. The prayers would be made not just to guide the Digital warriors but to wish for a glimmer of a miraculous hope to arise out of this cloud of despair looming within the Dark Realm. However, they weren't the only higher powers praying for the warriors' chances of victory and survival.
03 Digital World. Zhuqiaomon's Domain
Having witnessed the death of the Digi-Destined and Tamers, both the phoenix and turtle sovereigns deeply sighed in sadness. They mourned not just for their losses but the revival of the Dark God after thousands upon thousands of Digital Cycle periods of dormancy. Millenniumon had finally emerged in a new and powerful form. Even Zhuiqaomon knew that challenging the Dark God's almighty power was a mistake that he would regret.
"So, I guess the jury is out on this one, Zhuster?"
"There's no denying it anymore. The Dark God has been revived using the Eastern Azulongmon 's digicores! At this rate, he's managed to slaughter the half majority of those Digi-Destined and the Tamers. The same group of humans with their powerful digimon partners, who helped to defeat the D-Reaper. The power that Zeed now possesses is even greater than that of the D-Reaper and that of the human with the Saint Light ki."
"Well, at least, the warrior of courage managed to overcome that renegade human… but only to allow the Dark God to reawaken! It's hard to believe this whole scheme was orchestrated by Zeed."
"You mean his plot to restructure the time and space continuum of this universe? He did specifically state that he successfully merged the four Digital Realms together when they are supposed to be separate realities. Perhaps, he meant that we were not supposed to share the same universe. I wouldn't be surprised to know that the Dark Time God is capable of such a feat. What surprises me is the fact of how well prepared he has molded this plan to be implemented to such perfection. The Dark Spore, Ryo, the digicores, the creation of Burizalor and Mutalior… He had everything well planned out from the very start. He was counting on the fact some of the Chosen Children would ascend to new levels of power and hoped they would prove to be worthy of a challenge. Thus far, the Warrior of Courage has proven himself worthy. The question, will the Digital Warriors combined be enough to push back the fury of the Dark God?"
"If they can't… Then who can?"
"I don't even want to even think about the consequences if our heroes fail to oppress Zeed now. The one who possesses the Hazard will not be enough to overcome this evil power that has awakened from his long dormancy. Takato will need the help of the other bearers of Courage if he hopes to see the next sun rise. Please let there be a miracle through this disparity."
Locking eyes back on the viewing orb, the two great Sovereigns caught glimpse of the remaining warriors standing off. Another view of Zeed's new form was standing out above the fallen Digi-Destined, Tamers and digimon. Zhuqiaomon and Ebonwumon shuddered to even think of how powerful Zeed has actually become.
"Since he managed to merge himself with the boy and the Monodramon, there will be no telling how much power he will abstract from those two. I just hope it didn't have to be one of our own Tamers of the Southern sector that was essential to Zeed's revival. Takato. Tamer of the Hazard. Avenge your loved ones not for us or for the Digital World. Do it for all that is mankind," the great phoenix thought.
04 Digital World. Seraphimon's Castle
Even the Three Celestial Angels were saddened by the turn of events. However, it was the loss of Lady Moinanea that struck them the most. The rightful heir ruler of the 04/Western Digital World plane was slain by the Dark God's fury.
Bokomon and Neemon lowered their heads in sadness for the demigoddess' sudden death. Tears poured down Sorcermon's eyes as his heart felt empty during those last few moments. The three angels chanted another prayer, this time for Lady Moinanea. What they feared the most was the thought of losing the six legendary warriors. They were still Susanoomon, but even Seraphimon knew that the Warrior of Peace would not maintain the form any longer.
"Lord Seraphimon. This is terrible!" Sorcermon choked in tears. "Our Lady Moinanea did not deserve such a fate! We can't let the legendary warriors go through with this! The Dark God will destroy them with his bare hands!"
"I can't argue with him, Lord Seraphimon," Bokomon nodded in agreement. "According to my book, it says here that when the unlikely event the Dark Time God reawakens, he will return in a new form which would contain his radical power. As far as I can tell, this form is brand new for Millenniumon."
"I… I never imagined I would be bear witnessing the wrath of the Dark God himself," Seraphimon gasped. "I'm afraid not even Susanoomon stands a chance."
"But, look! He's not alone!" Neemon pointed out. "Susanoomon's has friends!"
"I think we can all see that, Neemon," Bokomon sighed.
"But, he does bring up a good point," Ophanimon replied. "Susanoomon is not alone in this final battle. He has the other digital warriors standing by his side, including the one who just defeated the human possessing the Saint Light ki."
"That warrior alone should even out the odds," Cherubimon assured the angelic male.
"…"
"Lord Seraphimon?" Sorcermon whispered.
"…No. Even that Warrior of Courage will not be enough. Zeed's current power exceeds everyone on that battlefield. Their only hope is to attack as a unit, but their chances of victory are slim to none. Though, seeing the loss of their loved ones will be a major boost to their strengths. Perhaps, Zeed may have made a big mistake angering the might of these warriors. They each possess hearts and souls that will guide them into this final battle. The fate of our existence will be determined by the outcome of this battle. Legendary warriors. Takuya. Kouji. Zoe. J.P. Kouichi. Young Tommy. Our prayers go out to you and each one of your allies."
"Good luck, young warriors," Cherubimon sighed. "I really wish we could help you for everything you have done for us, but this is a battle we cannot interfere with."
"However, when the time comes for us to intervene, we won't hesitate to carry out Lady Moinanea's honor to defend this territory," Ophanimon spoke with determination.
"Oh! Takuya! Kids! Please, hang in there! You defeated Lucemon and freed our world from his tyrannical presence!" Bokomon cried out towards the viewing orb. "This battle determines everything the Digital Universe has ever worked hard for! Do not let Zeed win!"
"Go, team! Go!" Neemon cheered out as if he were a cheerleader.
"We're counting on you, my friends. If anyone can overcome the impossible odds, then you children certainly can. You have new allies to join your cause and they will help ensure our victory. May the spirits of the ancient warriors guide you."
Inside Saitou's Lair Cavern. 8:55 P.M.
Meanwhile, back within the caverns of Saitou's former lair, the DW-STF was still hard at work by sealing away the tunnel. They only had a few hours to completely shut down the tunnel to prevent the Synister race to emerge into the real world and find passages through to the Digital Worlds. Sitting across from the DW-STF was Oikawa. He sat down with Sigma lying on the ground while still in a comatose state.
"I didn't think I would be brought back," the man said with disbelief. "I thought I was actually gone. Alas, I have returned but only to find myself wondering if mankind will survive. Was I revived only to face death once again?"
As the man questioned himself, the DW-STF immediately halted their progress and felt the tremendously dark, powerful ki emitting from out of the tunnel. Omegamon X gasped out as he realized that he and his soldiers were feeling the presence of Zeed. They had never actually seen or even felt the Dark God's presence. Not even the leader could dare compare himself to this entity of destruction.
"Sir… Did you feel that?" Magnamon X asked with a strained voice.
"Of course… Damn! This is what we've feared! We were too late to stop it!" Omegamon X cursed.
"IS this the Dark God the prophecies speak of?" Lillymon X gasped.
"I'm afraid so… The Digi-Destined and their allies won't be sufficient to defeat this beast. Yes, while the Warrior of Courage did manage to overcome the human with the Saint Light ki, the Dark God is a power on a whole different scale of strength. I have sensed that at least half of his allies have already been slaughtered, including Lady Moinanea. Oh, my goddramon, rest her soul… If she dies, then Shintomon will be next. Eventually, the Sovereigns will not be spared either from the Dark God's wrath."
"So, what do you want us to do, sir?" War Greymon X asked with curiosity. "Fight this beast or continue with our mission to seal this tunnel?"
"We'll do anything as you command, sir!" Metal Garurumon X calls out.
Thinking his decision for a moment, Omegamon X no longer hesitated to struggle with his choice and turned to face his unit with a determined glare. They knew very much from the look on his face that he meant business
and nothing was going to stop him from fulfilling his mission.
"We will stay and do our duty! We've been given orders to seal this tunnel and keep those monsters from entering the human world! Even this tremendous power the Dark God has gained, he is classified as a being above the B-Class! Therefore, he cannot escape through the barrier! Now, let's seal up that hole!"
However, there was one who had suddenly objected to the general's command. That was Alforce V-Dramon X.
"But, sure. The Digi-Destined and their allies are still in there. They are battling that monster as we speak. Shouldn't we offer them some assistance? This is the Dark God we're speaking of. If he is set free, then everyone is doomed."
"…I understand what you're telling me, but this is OUR assignment given by Lord Huanlongmon. The only other higher authority that has jurisdiction to call off this assignment is Lord Shintomon, but as you can see he is currently not present."
"May I suggest half of our team head out into the tunnel to give aid to the Digi-Destined while the other half remains at their current post to seal the tunnel?" Rosemon X suggested. "We'd be killing two birds with one stone."
"That's a brilliant idea, Rosemon X," Dukemon X said. "What do you say, general? This just maybe the only way we can offer aid AND sealing the tunnel at the same time."
"Unfortunately, you soldiers have forgotten that the Digi-Destined of Courage has been reawakened as the Digi-Mazoku. He has become a Messiah of Darkness. Giving aid to the likes of that beast is a violation against Huanlongmon's authority," Omegamon X continued on.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I have to object to Huanlongmon's orders," Lillymon spoke up. "I just can't bring myself to abandon individuals who have staked their lives for a valiant cause. We are soldiers after all, General. We've battled together and witnessed some of our own die for valiant causes. Our predecessors have all perished to allow us to take their place. General, didn't the Omegamon before you sacrifice his life to ensure your survival? You wouldn't be here if it weren't for him."
Immediately reminiscing past events, Omegamon X nods in agreement with Lillymon X's small speech. He steps over to the young flower female and places his War Greymon arm over her right shoulder. She remained frozen still in obedience to her superior.
"Lillymon X. You may be the youngest and weakest of our team, but you truly do have the biggest heart. Your love for all living creatures astounds me. That's why I chose you as the peacemaker of the DW-STF. Right now, what am I about to do will violate orders given by Huanlongmon-sama, but… There's always a time where even rules are meant to be broken. Ok. I have decided that myself, Dukemon X, Alforce V-Dramon X, Magnamon X and Rosemon X will accompany me. Lillymon X. I leave you in charge to seal this tunnel. Is that understood?"
Standing out in normal military-style formation, Lillymon X straightened out and gives a hand to forehead salute to Omegamon X.
"Sir! Yes, sir! I will not let you down!"
"All right, then. The rest of you follow Lillymon X's instructions and seal the tunnel with as much power as you can! The ones who I have called out will follow me! Let us decide our own futures! The DW-STF shall live on!"
Letting out a unified battle cry, Omegamon X lifted off the ground and quickly sets off through the tunnel. Following behind him were Dukemon X, Alforce V-Dramon X, Magnamon X and Rosemon X. This left War Greymon X, Metal Garurumon X, Dynasmon X and Lillymon X to stay behind to close the tunnel.
"All right! You heard the general! Let's get this tunnel sealed within the next few hours! They will do as much as they can to hold off the Dark God and ensure the surviving Digi-Destined make it out. Let's get this tunnel sealed up for good and prevent the Dark God from emerging into the real world!" Lillymon X calls out her first set of instructions.
"Yes, ma'm!" the other DW-STF members call out.
"Oh, by the way," Lillymon X spoke up as she turned to make eye contact with Oikawa. "You might want to stick around. You'll end up getting lost on your way out. Allow us to finish sealing this hole and we shall return you to your home. The child will be sent back to the world where he had originally came from."
"You… You really are real," Oikawa gasped. "A digimon… I never thought I'd be gazing upon a real digimon up close…"
"Well, I look real, don't I?" Lillymon X smiled.
"Very much so…"
"You always wanted to go to the Digital World?"
"But, how did you…"
"We, digimon, can sense a human's dreams. You want to go to the Digital World ever since you were a child. Am I right?"
"I… Yes."
"Well, there's a chance you just might, but Zeed stands in everyone's dreams. If he cannot be stopped, then your wish of entering the Digital World will not come true. That is why we must rely on the Digi-Destined at this moment. Only they and their allies can make a difference."
"…"
"Come. If you believe in them, then your dreams will come true. Believe what I tell you. As a sworn member of the DW-STF, I promise that everything will be restored to normal and the balance of power will be repaired."
"Hearing this from you, I'm convinced. I trust your word."
"Well, for my sake, I hope that I am right. If all else fails, everything will be lost. General. I just hope you and the others can provide the best aid you can offer for the Digi-Destined," Lillymon X sighed in thought.
As Lillymon X returned to her post, she joined in with her three colleagues to help seal up the tunnel using their kid energy. They only had a few hours to close it before the Sinister manage to escape through the hole created through the barrier. This was their only chance to ensure the safety of the human world and they weren't planning on screwing this up. Failure was no longer an option.
? Center of the Four Digital Realms ?
Having witnessed the sudden turn of events, Huanlongmon nodded in disappointment over the decision made by Omegamon X. He never thought his greatest DW-STF general would disobey his orders.
"Well, this is certainly unexpected," Duane spoke.
However, the children remained silent after what had transpired with Zeed slaughtering a majority of the heroes, including their kid selves. Tike and Kara shared a tearful mourn for the loss of David.
"How… How could that bastard do that to our David!" Kara cried. "Why! He didn't deserve to be slaughtered like the way he was!"
"Or our alternate selves for that matter!" Sam growled. "Man, if only Huanlongmon allows us to go out there and actually gives us a REAL assignment than make us sit here and watch our families die!"
"Makes me wonder if he really cares if this Zeed bastard escapes to cause destruction across the worlds?" Tike wondered.
"Please, Huanlongmon," Keke sniffed as she approached the great sovereign. "Allow us to do something to avenge our loved ones. Our families were just killed… No, they were SLAUGHTERED What's worse… They can't even be revived! The digicores have been absorbed by that monster and they themselves have been absorbed! Their data now resides within Zeed! Saitou may have been powerful, but this is the Dark God we're dealing with! The remainder of our families are still out there in battle, but I doubt they will last any longer."
"Please, try to consider it, Huanlongmon," Sam begged. "As of now, only Max's dad, Keke's dad, Tike and Kara's parents, Takato and the legendary warriors stand a chance. Pikkan, BW, Dorothy and the others are simply there to provide support."
Despite the pleas from the children, Huanlongmon remained silent and was considering his decision. His eyes were transfixed onto viewing orb like never before. Much like every other higher level entity, his worst fears have finally come into realization. The nightmare has reawakened after a long, LONG dormancy. Every evil that has come before it were merely little nuisances compared to Zeed's God-like status.
"At last, you have regained full power, Xeed… Zeed. Whichever you refer to yourself now. I never thought you'd reawaken so soon. Already you have destroyed and absorbed a majority of the Chosen. You have taken their will of life or death. You even had the nerve to murder Lady Moinanea out of cold blood. Her sacrifice was selfless on her part and this really makes me wonder why she never took up position as a Digital Guardian. This makes me wonder if you are merely just bluffing with this new power you have obtained. But, I highly doubt it. This new form you've gained has managed to help control your radical power. You have complete control over your form, your power and your sanity. Alas, this is the result of you absorbing Ryo and Cyberdramon. However, you have yet to challenge the power of the warriors that have fought for our cause against many enemies before you. You may have prepared yourself over the years for your revival, but today you will not succeed. I will see to it! Mark my words!"
Fuming and growling under his breathe, Huanlongmon's eyes dimmed a crimson color. The children stood their ground while not being intimidated by the dragon beast. All they wanted was to aid their families in this final, yet most important battle. Keke steps over to the viewing orb to catch a glimpse of Max and X together.
"Max. I understand your love for my alternate self. You and her were quite the team. I really didn't want to see her getting killed, but you and X have a chance to avenge her death. X… Don't die. Please, that's all I ever ask for. Do not die…"
Choking with tears coming down her eyes, Keke fell to her knees and trembled violently. She tightened her fists and smashed them against the ground to create dents. Obviously, her inner emotions were mixed. Anger and helplessness were now lingering within the girl.
"I wish there was something I can do to help… Damn it! I'm sick of sitting here and doing nothing! Don't you dare die on us, you guys! You are our last line of defense!"
Outside Demon's Cavern. 8:56 P.M.
Meanwhile, the great elder, Gosenzomon, sat with a shocked expression over the turn of events that had suddenly occurred within the Dark Realm. Witnessing the slaughter of nearly the entire Digi-Destined teams had dealt a great pain in his heart. It was as if he had lost his own children.
"No… It can't be… They… They've been done in. Zeed. I never thought I'd ever see you in your new, controlled form. Already you have caused me great pain. Losing Taichi was one thing, but nearly the whole team? I can't bear to see this anymore. These past few days have been chaotic. I fear for both humans and digimon kind alike."
Mummymon, Arukenimon and Black Gatomon gathered around the elder to watch the battle that was soon to unfold through the orb. Having seen enough, Mummymon removed his coat and prepared himself to enter the cavern in full battle mode.
"Hey, you dolt! Just what the heck do you think you're doing!" Arukenimon frantically asked.
"Where else? I'm the Digimon Worlds Champion for goodness sakes! It would be shameful for a champion to run away," Mummymon cried out in a heroic manner. "This Zeed or whoever he calls himself better get prepared! Cause he will be begging for his mommy when I get in there and tear him apart! I'll give him a dose of my Mummymon Megaton Coconut Atomic Smash! HI-YA!"
As Mummymon stood out in dramatic fashion with a Japanese flag standing in the background, Arukenimon and Black Gatomon looked on with anime sweat drops pouring down their foreheads.
"Arukenimon… Mind if you smacked some sense into him?"
"You don't have to tell me that twice. Ugh, he has lost it. No more Digi-Jack Daniels for him."
"Sorry, Mummymon. As much as I admire your courage, this battle should be left to Taichi and his friends. Only they can make a difference. Please… Avenge Lady Moinanea. Avenge everyone this monster has killed. We cannot allow him to enter the real world! This is the final battle! There is no way out of this! No turning back! I hope our prayers for a miracle come true, because they will need it. Have mercy on their souls."
The Dark Realm. 8:56 P.M.
Back within the ancient, mysterious world of the Dark Realm, a battle to determine the fate of the four Digital Worlds and the human world was being determined. No longer was the enemy a human. Himo Saitou had finally met his end at the hands of the reawakened Digi-Mazoku, Omega X. Millenniumon has achieved full power and transformed into his new Zeed form. Having killed nearly seventy percent of the Digi-Destined team, only a few remained standing to challenge Zeed.
The ones who had met their end had already been absorbed into his God-like body. Zeed held his hand over the fallen Sora and absorbed the last of her data like a hot fudge sundae. All that remained as far as dead bodies to absorb were the bodies of Ken and Lady Moinanea. Absorbing these two would be a very satisfying taste for Zeed's ravenous desire for more data.
The Digital Warriors each were filled with shock, anger and sadness over the loss of their loved ones. It only took Zeed a mere few seconds to dispatch the majority of the crew easily. He proved once again why he was referred to as the 'Dark God.' It was simply not just a title name given to him since his presence was God-like compared to previous enemies.
There was a moment of hushed silence until the cries from both X and Max ended that hauntily silence.
"NOO! MOM! KEKE!" Max and X cried out in horror.
"SORA! PHOENIXMON!" screamed Omega X.
"MIMI! KEKE! DIMITRI! ROSEMON!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"RIKA! RENAMON! HENRY! TERRIERMON! JERI! TAMERS!" gasped Gallantmon.
"DAVID! SONJA!" Ultima X cried out.
"TIKE! KARA!" Mystic Celesta and War Angemon exclaimed in horror.
"JERI! LEOMON!" Pikkan roared.
"HENRY! TERRIERMON! LOPMON! SUZIE!" Dorothy cries out.
"Damn it! I can't believe he went after them rather than us!" BW cursed. "But why would he keep us, the stronger elite, alive?"
"My lady!" Shintomon cried out to his fallen beloved. "Lady Moinanea!"
"That bastard just absorbed their data! If he managed to easily get rid of them with simple energy blasts, then I shudder to think what he might do to us," Susanoomon growled. "But, I doubt even he could take all of us at once."
"Yeah, but we greatly outnumbered Saitou," said Pikkan. "Yet, he was still able to swat us aside."
"Plus, this guy far surpasses even Saitou's best. I can read this guy's ki," Ultima X spoke. "Let me tell you, this bastard has an overwhelming power that'll crush us. But I'm not going to let this guy live for what he's done to David and Sonja! I WILL make him pay!"
"You…" Max growled under his breath before he cried out in another outburst. "YOU KILLED KEKE AND MY MOTHER! YOU KILLED EVERYONE THAT WE CHERISH AND LOVE! YOU HEARTLESS MONSTER!"
Already absorbed enough data and ki from his prey, Zeed simply sneered and gives a mocking jester to the defiant Kamiya child.
"They were merely stepping stones. Each and every last one of them," cackled Zeed. "Such a waste, isn't it?"
That heartless statement from the Dark God was more than enough to set the spark off of every warrior that had lost a beloved, including Omega X. The Digi-Mazoku seethed under his breath as his eyes dimmed a crimson glow. His body quivered and the muscles on his body tightened. A bright golden-red aura engulfed his magnificent form. Zeed quickly sensed out the warrior's ki and smirked with keen interest.
"Yes, that's it, Taichi. Give into the hate. You know deep inside you are still no match for my omnipotence. Even with your allies, I will still come out triumphant. My destiny to conquer your universe has come."
Shintomon crawled over to the corpse of his wife and cradled her in his arms. He could feel the deep coldness engulfing the demigoddess' body. Tears streamed down from his eyes as guilt and helplessness had eaten away within his soul.
"Everyone! I'm sorry for all this!" Shintomon grieved. "My lady. I've failed you. It looks like I may just join you soon."
"Oh, don't look so glum, fellows. You still have a chance to avenge your losses by fighting me, but then you'll only be joining them. Then, I shall absorb your data and each of you will become one with me. This universe and everything associated within it shall be mine for the taking! The legend that is the Digi-Destined will be erased for good! HA! HA!"
Omega X raised his head up and gives Zeed a menacing glare that would scare off an army of Burizalors. However, the Dark God wasn't going to become intimidated by an 'inferior' being and continued to bawl out in wicked laughter. How could anyone enjoy murdering a group of people and children in one full swoop is beyond even Omega X to comprehend. This monster has already displayed no show of affection or remorse. Zeed deserves no respect or second chances for his acts. The warriors knew this full well and must destroy this beast before he escapes into the real world.
"Tai! If we let this dirtbag escape into our world, then everything we worked hard to protect will be lost," Gallantmon said to the warrior.
"I know and I won't allow him to enter our world. He's going to have to go through all of us at once. The ki I'm sensing from his guy is unbelievable. Here I thought Saitou would be the strongest opponent I've ever faced, but Zeed's power eclipses his."
"Even with the Saint Light ki?" Susanoomon asked out of bewilderment.
"I'd say yeah. We're in for a big fight."
Just then, Metalla X had just remembered the digicore that Omega X was currently holding in his possession. He walks over to his rival and slaps in the back of his head.
"Hey, idiot! Aren't you forgetting something!"
"What's that? Why did you have to and slap me like that! Ow!"
"You big baby," Dorothy sighed. "Aren't you forgetting what you are holding in your possession!"
"What…? You mean… Ah, yeah! I still have possession of the digicore! How could I even dare to forget!" Omega X slightly chuckled while grinning like an idiot. "Then again, I'm such an idiot to even forget this. Since I took it out of Zeed's grasp, there just maybe one last chance to beat this guy. All right, Zeed. This one's for everyone you've just taken away from us. Sora. Gang. You're lives will be restored. Count on it!"
"Um, Tai. I would pay attention back on the situation at hand. He's coming right this way!" Mystic Celesta calls out to her brother.
Looking ahead towards his new enemy, Omega X grasped the digicore half tightly and concealed it from the monster's sight. Zeed calmly marches forward where the bodies had once lain. He stopped for a minute and slightly smirked. He catches glimpse of the warriors that stood before him. Only a few actually pose as a threat. The only chance was for a Digital Fusion in order to revive Kaiser X, but would even that ultimate warrior be enough to crush Zeed? That was what both crossed both Tai and Matt's minds at the moment.
"Tai. How about we go ahead an try out a fusion?" Metalla X suggested. "We kicked Doomsdramon around like a amateur when we became Kaiser X."
"Not in my current state. Sure, we're both about the same height, but my current power as a level five far exceeds yours. We have to be at about even power levels."
"Damn and I just came up with a great idea…"
"We can always try keeping our powers at a simultaneous level, but it's going to require time to do so."
"Which is something we don't have. I doubt this guy will even sit on his rear to wait for us to fuse together."
"We can always distract for you," Gallantmon butted in. "Yeah, while we attack him head on, you two can go ahead and try out the fusion technique."
"That's a great idea, Takato!" Omega X replied.
Just then, Ultima X had also come up with a brilliant idea of his own. He flies on over towards War Angemon and tapped his right shoulder. The angelic royal knight turns around with a questionable look.
"What's up, Davis?"
"I just had a brilliant idea of my own! Heh! You're going to love it!"
"What do you have in mind?" BW asked.
"Hey, Tai! Matt! You two aren't the only ones who can fuse!" Ultima X calls out. "Unless you've forgotten that TK and I can fuse. Does War Dramon, ring a few bells?"
"Whoa! Hey! You're right! Two fusion warriors for the price of one!" Omega X calls out. "If there's a chance Matt and I will pull off a successful fusion, then you two can pull it off! Great idea, Davis!"
"For once…" Pikkan muttered.
"I heard that, Pikkan! But you have to admit, it's a great idea and a our only chance to give this guy the beating he rightfully deserves!" Ultima X exclaimed. "Ok! You heard that, TF? We're going to make this count!"
"Um, it's TK…"
"Davis. I really like the idea," Mystic Celesta commended the Warrior of Miracles. "I never thought you even had that idea crossing your mind. It'll be great to have War Dramon back in the game."
"I'll do anything to avenge Ken, David, and Sonja. They didn't deserve the fates they received. This one's for them."
In a rare moment, Davis was very serious and dead set on eliminating Zeed. He wasn't no longer the brash young man that the Digi-Destined became attached to. He was willing to go through with this new strategy. Mystic Celesta couldn't help but admire his courage and determination. It was so much like her brother.
"Davis. Wow, sometimes you even amaze me," Mystic Celesta thought.
Zeed had overheard their new strategy over using the fusion techniques and merely chuckled to himself heartily.
"So, you fellows are going to attempt to use the fusion techniques? Taichi and Yamato? Daisuke and Takeru? Two fused fighters for the price of one? Kaiser X was enough to destroy Doomsdramon easily and War Dramon once came within an eyelash to crush the D-Reaper. Ha, those two pale in comparison to the unlimited source of power which I wield. Do you really think I'd just let you four attempt such a petty technique? Daisuke. Taichi. I'm amazed you two would even think about attempting to use this fusion as a last resort. I never thought you goggle heads would even bothering thinking before taking action.
"Hey! We resent that!" both Omega X and Ultima X retorted at once.
"Ok, that comment was totally uncalled for," Gallantmon growled after hearing the monster's insult.
"What do you say we just trash this guy and wait on the fusion?" the Takuya within Susanoomon spoke out.
"Then again, I just might want to reconsider," Metalla X growled.
"Why's that, Matt? Are you chickening out on us already!" Omega X gasped.
"Matt! C'mon! Let's get serious here!" War Angemon exclaimed.
While an argument was about to ensue, Dorothy took this chance to move Shintomon away. He carried the demigoddess' corpse in his arms and sets her down on his lap. He had lost his only true love quickly and so suddenly. Currently feeling helpless, he no longer considered himself any use to this battle.
"What can I do? I'm the Supreme Guardian digimon, but yet I feel helpless. I've failed everyone and I let you die, my lady… I just sat like an idiot and let you die before my eyes. I'll never forgive myself for this… On the other hand, I'll never forgive Zeed for this cowardly action!"
"I know how you feel, Shintomon," Dorothy whispered while reading out his thoughts.
"You do?"
With a nod, she continued on, "She died for all of us. She did because she truly cares for each of us as if we were her children, me included. As her husband, you ought to understand the course of action she had chosen to take."
"I do, but…"
"But, what! Did you want to die with her!"
"Yes, so that she wouldn't have to endure the after life alone! I would wanted to join her to keep her company for all eternity!"
"You higher beings live for a long considerable time anyway. So why bother?"
"I just couldn't live with myself being alone. For once, I was happy to have such company since the D-Reaper eliminated my three Supreme Guardian comrades, including the Grand Guardian herself."
"Yes, I remember. I now possess the memories of everything the D-Reaper has ever committed. Every deplorable act of violence, malice and destruction. Shintomon. I'm sorry for the pain that my former self has caused you. I truly am."
"I'm not blaming you… As a reincarnated human, you've been forgiven for your sins by fighting for the right cause. You became Taichi's best student and merged with Avengemon's data. Your powers exceed those of any human I've ever met."
"Yes. I gained these powers in order to fight with Taichi and his friends."
"That you have done. I'm proud of you, Dorothy."
"Thank you, Shintomon. Just to let you know that I'll be fighting against this monster, even if I have to stake my own life."
"Before you go, I just wanted to let you know on a secret…"
"What's that?"
"I can still sense my three Supreme Guardian comrades within you. Setsuna of the West Quadrant. Dythros of the North Quadrant. Hades of the Southern Quadrant. I also sense the Grand Guardian in you. All four of them will help guide you in your battle, Dorothy. You possess their will, power and wisdom. You're not alone in this war."
"Thank you, Shintomon. I won't let you down. Besides, those four have already been guiding me my whole life. They wish you a happy life if we manage to escape out of this alive."
With that said, Dorothy flies off back to rejoin her comrades in the final battle against Zeed. Looking on from the far distance, Shintomon wrapped his arms around Lady Moinanea's corpse and sighed deeply.
"Good luck, my friends. I know you will guide that girl down the right path and it looks like you have done your job well. If only we were back together as The Order… We would have at least helped out these fine warriors in their final struggle against the ultimate evil. But, alas, I feel helpless and without my darling… Oh, my lady… If only there was another alternative…"
Immediately breaking down in tears, Shintomon buried his face against his beloved's right shoulder. He didn't even look ahead to pay attention to the upcoming battle at hand.
As soon as Dorothy swiftly landed down to where her friends were standing, Omega X and Metalla X were still arguing.
"So, what did I miss out?" Dorothy asked.
"Nothing, but those two and their senseless bickering," growled BW.
"C'mon, you two! This isn't the best time! You just lost your families! Our enemy is Zeed!" X exclaimed. "KNOCK IT OFF!"
"C'mon, Matt! You know we were both responsible for our actions as Kaiser X. At least we still managed to whoop Doomsdramon's ass before our fusion time limit ran out."
"Only by a few seconds that is! Didn't you even consider what would have happened if our limit ran out at that moment!"
"We would have still won since he was already weakened," Omega X assured his rival.
"Ugh, but that pose! I couldn't bear myself to stand out like an idiot like that! Hell, especially when we fused, your side just had to become the dominant one within Kaiser X!"
"Huh? My side? You mean when we were playing around in the beginning?"
"What do you mean 'we'! That was you! You were more interested in playing pranks than winning the battle!"
"But that wasn't me, Matt! That's just we how act when we're together."
Metalla X immediately grabs Omega X by his collar and attempts to strangle him.
"No! That's how clowns act at the freaking circus!"
"So, then, why don't we just try it out again?"
"Didn't you even bother to hear what I said! Going through that ridiculous pose is enough for me!"
"Matt! You're impossible! Getting all worked up over such a little thing!"
"I'm a singer, not a dancer, Tai!"
"Oh, boy. Here we go again," Mystic Celesta sighed deeply. "So, those are our two saviors? Our families were just killed right before our very eyes! We have to avenge them!"
"Um, ok. Well, Davis. Looks like it's up to us to fuse together," War Angemon suggested.
"Right! War Dramon's back in the game!"
Suddenly, Zeed stepped forward once again and quickly cuts off the argument with a single stomp to the ground. The warriors immediately shifted their attention towards the Dark God, especially Omega X and Metalla X.
"Well, it seems we have ourselves some differing opinions about fusion. Mind if I intervene and make a suggestion? There will be no more fusion. Obtaining the knowledge from Atolmdramon and Doomsdramon, I can easily recall that moment. He was such a fool to allow you two to fuse into Kaiser X. Taichi. Yamato. You two are only dreaming if you think you'll have an advantage over me like that. I'm not as gullible as my children were. The same applies to you, too, Daisuke and Takeru. I say there will be no more fusion and that in fact will be LAW from now on."
"Bah! You died and made you the police around here!" Susanoomon grunted. "We'll still take you out even without their fusion!"
"I'll make you pay for taking away my friends, you bastard!" Gallantmon cursed out the Dark God.
"Ha. Why don't you go ahead and say that to my face then?" Zeed laughed.
The beast stood his ground while his body was radiating a red aura. The ground under his feet was crushed under the overwhelming power of his aura and caused rocks to levitate around him. Gallantmon no longer hesitated any further and charged ahead against Zeed.
"TAKATO! NO! GET BACK HERE!" Max calls out.
"We can't lose him either!" BW exclaimed.
"TAKATO! PULL BACK!" Omega X cried out to the crimson knight.
"NEVER! HE TOOK MY FRIENDS AWAY AND I INTEND TO FORCE HIM TO GIVE THEM BACK!"
With that said, Gallantmon raised his swords and went ahead to slash the beast head on. Before his swords even attempted to strike him, Zeed has vanished out of thin air. This caught Gallantmon off guard and he began searching his surroundings. Before long, Zeed reappears behind Gallantmon with a grin across his face.
"TAKATO! BEHIND YOU!" Mystic Celesta warned the Tamer warrior.
Before Gallantmon had a chance to turn around, he came face to face with Zeed. The beast merely grinned. Gallantmon leaps up into the air and flies off into the distance in attempt to come up with another strategy to use against the Dark God.
"Hey! Where does he think he's going!" Ultima X exclaimed out. "Hey, Takato! You're going the wrong way!"
"He's going to devise his own strategy," BW stated. "By attacking him from a long range distance. I don't know, but this isn't something Takato would ever use."
"Just what the hell are you thinking, kid?" Omega X thought.
Gallantmon continued his flight across the black skies of the Dark Realm. He swiftly crossed through numerous thick clouds and boosted his aura in order to push him across at tremendous speed. He no longer felt Zeed's power anymore and felt he had already out sped the demon.
"Zeed. You can bluff about your strength all you like, but I doubt you even have the speed to keep up wi-"
Before the word could even finish within his thoughts, Gallantmon stopped frozen at his treks and his face crossed with shock. He had come face to face with none other than the Dark Time God himself… Zeed was levitating right directly in front of him close up and he only had two words to tell the scared crimson knight.
"Too. Slow."
…
…
…
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
…
Zeed directly slams a fist across Gallantmon's face and follows it up with a spinning back kick that sends the crimson knight plummeting down nearly a thousand feet from the air. The warriors looked up as they found Gallantmon set on plummeting towards the ground. Before his body had a chance to plunge through the earth, Zeed immediately reappears below Gallantmon and knees him directly into the gut. The force indirectly cracks his chest plate into pieces. The Dark God picks Gallantmon up effortlessly and delivers a painful BACKBREAKER. Everyone winced as a loud SNAP was heard.
…
…
…
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!
…
…
…
Gallantmon couldn't help but cry out in pain and force to listen to his own back being crushed across Zeed's knee. The Dark God drops the crimson knight and watched as he struggled to sit up. Omega X growled deeply and quickly shifted his attention to Metalla X. It was time.
"Matt! Fusion! Quick!"
"Bah! Perhaps you didn't hear what I just said! This Fusion of yours won't happen!" Zeed roared.
With that said, the Dark God vanishes out from sight. The two warriors were caught off guard as they failed to pick up on his sudden movement and ki. However, they stopped once they felt tremendous forces being plunged right directly into their guts. Metalla X was the first as he felt the air knocked right out of his body. Next up was Omega X. Even he didn't fare better with his breath being exerted out with extreme force.
"MATT!" War Angemon calls out.
"TAI!" cried Mystic Celesta.
As the two warriors were sent flying back, Zeed took this chance and delivers a double clothesline to knock them off of their feet. The digicore came flying out of Omega X's hands. Zeed shoots out an eye beam directly and captures the half piece orb in his grasp. In just a few moments, he would absorb this piece and complete his collection of Azulongmon's majestic digicores to fulfill his ultimate power.
"Yes, come to me, digicore!"
The digicore came directly closer to Zeed's grasp. He held out his hand to snatch it like a piece of candy.
"Now, with your power, make me complete and grant me infinite power! Once complete, I will rule every realm within this universe! Nothing will comprehend my power!"
Zeed opened his mouth as he went ahead to swallow the orb, but not long before Omega X reappeared out in front of him. With a playful smirk across his face, Omega X snatched the digicore out of the Dark God's hand like a thief in the night. He teleports away using his Time Warp and reappeared a long distance away. He let out a deep sigh of relief and held the digicore back in his possession.
"Whew! That was close! So close, but sorry to rain on your parade. There's no way I'm going to give this up that easily to you."
"DAMN YOU! GIVE IT BACK!"
"No, I was serious when I said that I wouldn't give it back," Omega X chuckled. "And to make sure I don't go back on my word…"
"What are you thinking, Tai?" Dorothy wondered.
"Who knows what lingers in that fool's head," Metalla X growled. "He better not fool around!"
"I hope you're planning to put it to good use. That digicore could hold a key to Zeed's destruction," Pikkan said.
"I agree, yet I'm not so sure. Take a look. Zeed has six pieces in his possession and we only have one. Doesn't that simply give Zeed the advantage over us?" BW reminded the Alterian.
"Perhaps, but it wouldn't hurt to use that core. Knowing Tai, he'll probably come up with some idiotic plan that'll backfire."
"Dad! You better not let that monster have that orb! That could be the only way to restore mom, Keke and the others!" Max exclaimed.
"Oh, man. This is certainly not looking good," X sighed. "Tai. Even I can't predict what you have planned."
"Well, you want to know what I plan to do with this digicore?" Omega X grinned sheepishly with a chuckle. "I'll just do what you do! Bon appetite!"
With that said, Omega X opened up his mouth and dropped the digicore into his mouth. He closed his mouth and begins to swallow it whole. Zeed was taken back in surprise. Everyone else gasped in utter disbelief and bewilderment.
"What the heck!" Metalla X blurted out in question. "What's the meaning behind this insanity, Tai!"
"That idiot! I knew it!" Pikkan growled.
"Can he actually do that?" Max wondered. "But we need that to bring our loved ones back!"
"You're… kidding me?" War Angemon muttered. "Any thoughts, Davis?"
"Heck! I would have done the same thing too!"
"Great, so we have two minds that think alike," Susanoomon sighed.
"So, this is how we're going to win?" Mystic Celesta muttered. "Here I thought my brother wouldn't do anything as stupid as this."
"I think humanity itself has lost faith in our valiant hero," BW stated.
"…Ugh, mind helping me up here?" Gallantmon struggled to speak up.
"No, there has to be a reason behind this," Dorothy thought. "Perhaps trying to play psychological mind games against Zeed? Or maybe you are acting like a fool."
Then, much to everyone's surprise and dismay, Omega X gulped down the digicore and immediately struggled. Yes, now the hero was starting to choke on the orb. He grasped his throat and muffled.
"Ack! Dad's choking!" Max exclaimed.
"Ugh! This is unbelievable! The fate of the worlds rest on this guy's shoulders?" Pikkan growled. "I've lost faith in this guy!"
"What's worse? He actually chokes out and dies again," X nodded in disappointment. "What a waste after being restored as a Digi-Mazoku."
"Hey! Tai! C'mon! Spit that thing out!" Metalla X calls out to the choking warrior. "Quick! Spit it out!"
Rushing over towards the falling warrior, Metalla X loomed over Omega X and noticed the orb swallowed down his gullet. The lump across his throat vanished along with the digicore. Metalla X gasped out in shock and worry. However, Omega X merely snickered and responded to his friends' worried pleas.
"Compliments to the chef!"
"Ugh! I can't put up with you, Tai! You nearly scared me! You know you could have been killed, moron! What a waste for the Digi-Mazoku to die again, this time by choking!"
Zeed quickly put a stop to the situation and growled out in fury.
"That was a foolish place to hide the Power Digicore. I'll just have to rip your head off to get it. Alas, don't you even think you've won this skirmish."
"No way! That digicore isn't going anywhere! It's staying right inside his body!"
"…"
"But, don't misunderstand! It's not as though Tai was thinking that ahead!"
With that said, Metalla X flies out across the battlefield and goes head on to attack Zeed. Knowing he wouldn't stand a chance, he wasn't set on letting the beast take the digicore out of Omega X's body.
"No, Matt! Get back here!" Omega X calls out to his friendly rival.
Already attacking Zeed head on ferociously, Metalla X threw out closed fists and swift kicks to catch Zeed off guard. The Dark God was easily managing to evade every attack. Metalla X responds by shooting out an array of ki blasts directly, only for Zeed to swat them up into the heavens. Explosions streamed across the Dark Realm's skylines and brightened with brilliant illumination. Metalla X roars out angrily and continued firing away more shots. But the ki blasts were becoming even more futile as Zeed swatted them away.
Omega X quickly intervenes and flies out ahead to aid his rival against the Dark God.
"YAMATO!"
"Bah! As long as you two or the other two are not fused, then you are nothing but ordinary SCUM!" the Dark God roared out.
Phasing out from sight, Zeed immediately reappears in front of Metalla X, pulls back on his right leg and sends a vicious kick directly into Metalla X's exposed gut. The tremendous force caused him to spit out a mixture of his own saliva/blood. Metalla X was sent plummeting down towards where a rock wall stood and crashed through it.
Quickly turning his attention over to a charging Omega X, Zeed swiftly flies across and slams a fist directly the warrior's gut. Omega X spat out blood out his mouth, but still didn't regurgitate the digicore piece. Zeed angrily cries out and slams a right foot into Omega X's face. The Warrior of Courage was sent plummeting down across and indirectly slams into Metalla X. The warrior pair were sent directly through what looked like an abandoned tower. As soon as their fall destroyed a portion of the tower, it was starting to collapse all of a sudden. Zeed looks on and watched the tower tumble until… It suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Why didn't it fall?" Zeed wondered.
"Great! This is our chance, TF! Let's move out!"
"For the last time, its TK," War Angemon sighed. "Right! Let's do it!"
As Zeed was preoccupied with the two warriors, both Ultima X and War Angemon jumped out to take their stances. They stood out like Tai and Matt did before with their arms stretched out to one side in a symmetrical pose.
"That's it! Go for it, guys! He has his back turned!" Mystic Celesta thought.
"Oh wow! I get to see War Dramon!" Max thought excitedly.
"NOW! FUUUUUUUU-"
Quickly turning around, Zeed pointed his index finger out and shoots out an array of energy beams at the two young warriors. Both Ultima X and War Angemon leaped away in time before the blasts made contact. Their first attempt failed but this wouldn't be the last time.
"Don't worry, Davis! We'll go for it again!"
"Right!"
"What did I just say a while ago? NO FUSION!"
Suddenly, the Dark God felt a mighty force being thrown out against him. He swifted his attention back to the veterans and found the tower being thrown directly at him. Zeed saw this coming and easily incinerates it with a twin beams shooting out from his eyes.
"Nice attempt on the fusion, boys! As for you Taichi and Yamato, why don't you two just come out! I know that blast didn't kill you two!"
Hearing upon their names being called, two golden beams shot up across with two figures emerging. Omega X and Metalla X stared down directly at Zeed with no desire to surrender. This was a fight that they had to win no matter what the costs.
"Well, I'm glad to know that there's still two of you. Here I thought you would have united when Daisuke and Takeru failed to do so."
"Sorry about that," Omega X scoffed. "We, Digi-Destined, will find a way to win. You can rest assure of that. We won't let you have your way with both human and digimon kind alike."
"I was born to take revenge on those who have allowed me to become born! It is my destiny and nothing will change that! Not even two simpletons like you!"
"Consider your life spared for now, pal!" Ultima X growled.
"Don't be absurd, fools. Like I said, unless you four are able to go through with fusion, you're nothing but TRASH!"
With that said, Zeed quickly phases out from sight once again. The four warriors never even had a chance to utter another word as each one felt tremendous forces slam against their chests. Zeed reappears above War Angemon and clubs him in the back. The Royal Knight of Hope felt his back pop against the Dark God's tremendous force and plummeted down into the ground, Zeed turns around and delivers a spinning heel kick to knock Ultima X off his feet. The Dark God proceeded onward to kick Metalla X in the face and caused the warrior to spit out yet more blood.
"Brother… No!" War Angemon managed to call out despite the pain he was enduring.
"TAKERU-KUN! DAISUKE-KUN! YAMATO-KUN!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"Damn… Hang in there, guys! I'm coming in to help! Once I recover!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Heads up, you bastard!" Omega X cried out directly at the Dark God.
Before Omega X had a chance to land a punch at Zeed, the Dark God swiftly moved aside at the last millisecond and retaliated with a fist into his gut. He coughed out blood rather than just spit this time. Yet, Zeed still failed to force Tai to regurgitate the digicore out. War Angemon and Ultima X flew out ahead together to aid their comrade.
"Hold on, Tai!" the duo called out. "This guy is ours!"
Zeed turns around and looks ahead to find both warriors flying out directly at him. He pointed a finger out to shoot energy beams to strike them. However, they both swiftly flew out to opposite ends. War Angemon flew across the right side and Ultima X came from the left side. Both flew out across and started attacking head on. Fists were thrown and were easily countered by Zeed. He was evading all of their array of punches and kicks with relative ease. He swiftly flies back and throws out two fists to knock the warrior pair back, but they managed to maneuver away just in time.
Ultima X cupped his hands together and sends out a massive ki blasts from out of his hands. Meanwhile, War Angemon activates his sword and sends out projectile slashes by simply swinging his weapon around. Zeed immediately cancelled the attacks out by putting out his hands and halted them before the attacks were deleted in the process.
"Nice try, boys, but you're going to have to try something better to get my attention."
He immediately phases out from sight and reappears in between the warrior pair. He placed out two hands at the opposite directions and shot out two devastating ki blasts. One shot War Angemon in the gut and sent him flying back into a rock wall; the other blasted Ultima X by his right side and forced him to crash down into the ground.
"Forgetting about me!" Metalla X's voice calls out.
Zeed looks on ahead to see Metalla X flying out at him with a fist outstretched. Both fighters charged head on and began to trade blows with one another. It was amazing that Metalla X could even keep up with Zeed and evade his fists. Metalla X and Zeed traded punches, which they managed to counter. As their punches collided, the entire dimension trembled under their power. The others felt the tremors and were stunned to realize how much stronger their power has already become. Saitou made a good point concerning their powers. Each of these warriors' powers has grown too dangerous for even earth to withstand, and the Dark Realm was no exception to the rule either.
As their clash abruptly ended, Metalla X flies out across past Zeed and stops for a minute. He quickly makes a u-turn and directly aims to deliver a kick at Zeed. This time, the kick made its mark directly on Zeed's face. Metalla X gasped out at how lucky his hit was and watched Zeed crashing back through a rock wall. But, did it halt his offensive attack? NO! Zeed came soaring out of the debris like a F-16 Fighting Falcon air craft. However, he was traveling out faster than any air plane ever produced. Metalla X gasped out in shock and unleashes an array of ki blasts from out of his palm.
"Damn! This guy isn't on much down time!" Metalla X howled out. "TAKE THIS!"
Unfortunately, the ki blasts weren't doing any damage nor did they even manage to slow down Zeed. He came flying through the blasts and soars directly up to where he faced Metalla X. He directly slams a fist across Metalla X's face and then follows it up with a vicious blow into his gut. Unbeknownst to Zeed, Omega X took this chance and leaped off from the top of a lumbering tower and lands a diving head butt across Zeed's massive head. He barely missed the spikes on his back and the two horns on his head.
As Metalla X plummeted to the ground, Omega X leaps away from Zeed and grasped his head.
"Way to go, dad! That head butt should at least slow him down!" Max cheered on his father.
"But, how long will that last? C'mon, Tai! Don't let your guard down!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed. "I just might have to intervene if things get rough."
"Well, at least the attack on Matt was stopped," Dorothy said. "Man, TK and Davis took a beating. I can't wait to get my turn!"
"Same goes for us," BW and Pikkan call out simultaneously.
Once reeling back from Omega X's last attack, Zeed lifted his head up and grinned devilishly.
"Ha. I'll admit. That one was slightly effective, Taichi."
"If I'd had used my ki, I figured I wouldn't have taken you by surprise," Omega X chuckled. "So I tried attacking you the old fashioned way, but it looks like it didn't work against a rock head like you."
"Nice! I couldn't have done that myself," Gallantmon said while rising to his feet. "Damn, this guy isn't kidding about this strength. My armor is already coming apart as it is…"
"You guys are only prolonging the evitable! You know I'll kill you anyway, so why resist!" Zeed roared.
"Ha! It's what we Digi-Destined do!" Omega X retorted.
"Not for long!"
Disappearing without a second thought, Zeed managed to reappear in front of Omega X and throws out a barrage of fists. Omega X managed to counter the head on fists but not effortlessly. He had to actually move without second thought. As both threw out fists towards each other simultaneously, Zeed's fist made contact with Omega X's face and sends him reeling back.
"See, what did I tell you, Taichi?"
"Ugh! Damn, that didn't get him at all! He's got too much on us! Even at my fifth stage, he's still making me break a sweat!"
Slowly rising to his feet, Ultima X looks up towards where the Dark God was facing off with Omega X. This looked like his second opportunity to try out fusion. He turned around to see War Angemon standing by his side.
"All right, we'll give fusion another try. Let's go for it!" Ultima X said.
"Don't have to tell me twice!"
With that said, the two young warriors stepped out at opposite sides and stretched their arms out. Omega X looked down and knew that this was his chance to fuse with Metalla X.
"Good, Davis and TK are going to attempt the fusion again. They got the stance and everything correct. That's good. Now if only Matt wasn't being a punk about this."
Zeed looked down and saw the two warriors preparing to do the fusion dance. However, Omega X calls out for his rival to join in. The Dark God shifted his attention onto Omega X instead and worried for the younger warriors later.
"Matt! It's about time we get around doing this fusion quick!" Omega X calls out.
Walking out from the fallen debris, Metalla X slowly makes trek across and panted heavily.
"Matt! Did you hear me!"
"YES! I heard you the first time!" Metalla X growled out of frustration. "I'll do it! Stop yelling!"
As Metalla X levitated up to met with Omega X, Zeed set his sights directly on the four individuals carefully. Ultima X and War Angemon were closer to successfully pulling off the fusion.
"Not so fast. I'll intercept you four without breaking a sweat."
"This is for the last time, Tai. I mean it."
"Fine! I'll never ask for it again! Promise!"
"Ha, they are nothing more than simpletons. If they think they will pull off another fusion, they are mistaken!"
"All right, dad and Matt! Go for it!" Max cried out.
"You can do it, TK! Davis!" Mystic Celesta cheered on.
"Hopefully, they can pull it off," Susanoomon said.
"C'mon, guys! We can't screw this up!" Dorothy thought.
"FUUUUUUUU-" Ultima X and War Angemon called out at once.
"FUUUUUUUU-" both Omega X and Metalla X exclaimed simultaneously.
"SION!"
"WHEN I SAY NO! I mean NO! I told ya'll I wouldn't let you do that again!"
Immediately phasing out from sight, Zeed flies out directly at both Omega X and Metalla X with fists across their faces. He follows it up with a knee directly into Metalla X's face and a kick into Omega X's chest. With both warriors taken out, Zeed turns his attention directly onto both Ultima X and War Angemon.
"No! TK! Davis! Hang in there!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
But before she had a chance to save the duo, she watched as Zeed double clotheslines both Ultima X and War Angemon. Mystic Celesta came flying down with her Omega Blade intact and slammed it against Zeed's right shoulder. However, the sword bounced right off the monster and dropped to the floor. Zeed snatches Mystic Celesta by her right leg and hurled her across through a rock wall. He reappears above her and fires away a barrage of ki blasts to immobilize the female.
Omega X emerged out of the debris and uses his Time Warp to reappear in front of Zeed. He throws out a punch, which was easily evaded by the beast.
"Kari! Will you be all right, girl!"
"Yeah… I'll manage, but I have to go check up on TK and Davis."
"Do that while Matt and I go for the fusion again."
"Right. Just leave it to me!"
"Good, now get going! All right, Matt! Fusion! Now!"
"Tai! You idiot! Heads up!" Metalla X calls out in warning.
As Omega X looked up towards the skies, he saw Zeed coming down at him with his hands clasped together into a 'sledgehammer-like fist'. His clubbed made contact with Omega X's face and sends him skidding across the ground. Mystic Celesta leaped away in time as she rushes over to War Angemon and Ultima X. This gave Metalla X time to unleash a massive energy blast from out of his cupped hands. The blast came hurtling towards a charging Zeed.
"Damn it! Stop being so full of yourself, Zeed!" Metalla X cried out.
The Dark God plunged right through the blast and made sure his fist collided with Metalla X's face. He follows that up with a barrage of fists into his exposed gut. Zeed throws out yet another fist and sends Metalla X flying across through a rock wall. The Dark God levitated down and chuckled over at his dirty work.
"This guy is too much!" Max exclaimed. "They can't even full off the fusion successfully!"
"That's because that bastard keeps preventing them!" Dorothy replied. "Man, I wonder if Zeed can take two fully fused digital warriors. I missed out on Kaiser X last time and I'm not about to again."
"But, I do recall your former self fighting Kaiser X years ago," X said.
"Hey, that was the D-Reaper," Dorothy muttered. "Not 'me' me. Plus, my former self fought War Dramon. It'll be great reliving old memories and seeing them fight this monster together. Knowing those two, they will give it to Zeed like none other."
"Let's hope so," BW said.
"If only they would get up off their asses and pull off the damn fusion already," growled Pikkan.
Before Zeed was preparing to attack the fallen Metalla X, he heard footsteps emerging out from behind him. He turned his head slightly to feel out Omega X's ki.
"You are strong. You aren't letting us to get away with performing Fusion any too easily. What you said was right. I was a little too thrilled over the first time I accomplished a Super Level Four Fusion against your child, Doomsdramon, and with the power it gave me, it appears that I goofed around too much."
"Ha, you can lament over your own foolishness when you go to Hell," Zeed snickered.
"You know… I really don't understand why there some people who delight in hurting others. That will be your own undoing, Zeed," Mystic Celesta spoke out defiantly. "When you take life, you live in fear because you know that someday your life will be taken as well. We all have to reap what we've sow, Zeed. There's no way of avoiding that. When you kill others, you're only killing yourself."
"…"
"It's simple. If you want good things to happen in your life, you have to be good. Knowing you, you won't change your ways," Mystic Celesta continued on. "It's such a shame. You could have done magnificent things with your power if you fought for justice. Speaking as an angelic soldier, I protect those in need and spread joyful dreams to those who cry out for peace. You plan to destroy everyone's hopes and dreams. I will not accept that."
After hearing upon the Royal Knight of Light's speech, Zeed merely turned to face her. He points a finger directly aimed for Mystic Celesta with a grin across his face. He didn't take heed to her speech and was preparing to end her life.
"NO! KARI!" Omega X exclaimed. "GET OUT OF THERE!"
"You're good, Hikari, but that won't be enough to save even you!"
Zeed positioned his aim directly for her heart. The Angel of Light crosses her arms over her self and prepared to meet her fate.
"HIKARI! MOVE!" everyone called out.
"DIE!"
Before Zeed had a chance to fire the blast, a mighty energy beam came shooting across from behind and nailed Zeed across his back. The Dark God barely even flinched as he turned around to see Gallantmon standing out with his swords intact.
"I would listen to her if I were you," the crimson knight spoke out. "The things the Kamiya siblings say do usually come to pass."
"That's right. We won't die until we have defeated you," Metalla X spoke up.
Quickly recovering from their falls, both War Angemon and Ultima X sat up to find Mystic Celesta looming over them. Both had slight red blushes across her cheeks knowing that their guardian angel was protecting them.
"Wow, this is a great view," Ultima X snickered.
"Davis…"
"Sorry, I couldn't resist."
"Hey, guys? Are you done looking up my chest?" Mystic Celesta muttered.
"Yeah! Of course!"
"Uh, huh. Good, because you two have a Fusion to pull off! Don't waste any time!"
"Right! You heard Kari, TS! We have a fusion to execute!" Ultima X leaped back on his feet.
"Hold up! Dang!" War Angemon followed in suit.
"Tai! Our only chance is Fusion! Let's go for it!" Metalla X calls out to his rival.
"You got it! Let's show this bastard our Fusion," Omega X nodded. "What do you say?"
"Five… Four… Three… Two… ONE! READY! SET! GO!" the four warriors called out at once.
As soon as they called out in unison, the four shot out four tremendous blasts at once to keep Zeed at bay. Omega X and Metalla X fly across to one side of the battlefield; meanwhile, Ultima X and War Angemon occupy the opposite side.
"HURRY! NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
With a large cloud of smoke engulfing the spot the four blasts caught Zeed, the Dark God emerged without a single scratch on his body. All four warriors were already positioned out in their Fusion stances.
"FUUUUUUUUUU-"
"FUUUUUUUUUU-"
"Hurry!" Max cries out.
"Bah! These four idiots are becoming way too overconfident!" Zeed roared out like a demon possessed.
The Dark God flies across the battlefield to take out the four warriors at once, but they easily saw him coming. They shot out a barrage of combined ki blasts that held Zeed at bay. One combined beam came shooting at Zeed across the face and managed to slow him down momentarily.
"Nice shot, Tai!" Ultima X laughed. "All right, guys! Let's not screw this up!"
"That should keep him off our backs for now," War Angemon wiped his forehead.
"We did it, Matt! Now, Fusion, quickly!" Omega X instructed his rival.
"Yeah!"
"NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"
Once they heard that familiar dragon roar, the four warriors turned around and were met with double clotheslines. Metalla X and Omega X were sent hurtling across one side while both Ultima X and War Angemon were sent flying towards another side.
"NO! GUYS!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
Zeed makes a quick u-turn around and attacks the four head on viciously. He slammed a fist into Metalla X's face and kneed War Angemon in the gut. Omega X took a knee to the face. Ultima X had an elbow driven into his back. With all four warriors laid out, this gave Mystic Celesta and Gallantmon a chance to attack.
"Let's give this our best shot, Takato!" the Angel of Light said.
"Right!"
Already picking up on their ki energy, Zeed turns around and evades both of their barrages of fists. Mystic Celesta's punches and kicks were easily countered by the Dark God. Even Gallantmon wasn't putting up much of an effort. Zeed blew them both off with an invisible force.
"Allow me to intervene!" Susanoomon calls out. "Zeed! Heads up!"
Turning around the Dark God was met with a large massive fist from the titan warrior. However, Zeed was able to stop the gigantic hand from Susanoomon and stopped him at his tracks.
"Um, what was that just now? You were really serious, weren't you?" Zeed mocked the unified warrior.
Within a short millisecond, Susanoomon was already knocked flat out on his back. It was the result of Zeed slamming a fist directly into the warrior's chestplate. If the Dark God was able to bring down even Susanoomon with relative ease, then there is no other fighter left to challenge Zeed. Pikkan and BW knew they wouldn't make much of a difference. However, they were still willing to fly out to do everything they could to make a slight difference.
Shintomon looks on and was quivering from the knees. He couldn't bring himself to battle Zeed if the Digital warriors have failed to stop him.
"Zeed has successfully managed to make sure Taichi and Yamato don't fuse again. He has obtained knowledge from Doomsdramon after absorbing the digicores and knows about the Fusion weakness. The same trick won't work with this monster. He's able to read out on their movements, not to mention the movements from both Takeru and Daisuke. Even as a Super Level 5 Mazoku, Taichi is still getting swatted aside like a fly. Unlike Doomsdramon, Zeed is going out for blood this time," the Supreme Guardian thought.
Before Zeed set his sights on eliminating Susanoomon, an energy beam came hurtling of nowhere and nailed the beast across his back. He turns around to find the perpetrator and chuckled when Dorothy stood out with a hand outstretched.
"Ah, the human who was formerly the D-Reaper. How fitting you should consider challenging my power. It's a shame you aren't fighting me as the true monster you once were."
"I am what I am. I'd rather be a human than a hideous monster like you. You sicken me."
"Oh, but wasn't it not too long ago where the Digi-Destined detested you?"
"That was the D-Reaper and I've repented for all the sins I've committed. It's idiots like you who will never learn to stop."
"You're an idiot for aligning yourself with these weaklings. Why don't you join my cause and together we'll create chaos both time and space. The human and digital worlds would tremble under our sheer might. Just think, the Dark God and the Reaper. Nothing would stop us. Sounds like a great offer, don't you think? What do you say?"
The blonde-haired girl thought this decision for only a few moments and finally gave her answer. She gives him the 'finger' and creates two energy spheres through her palms. Condensing them together, she was preparing to fire off one of her favorite techniques.
"Suite yourself. I'll send you to your grave with the rest of your friends."
"You killed my friends and I can't forgive you for that. They were like family to me. Henry. I was actually growing attached to him. YOU TOOK HIM AWAY! HIM, SUZIE AND THEIR DIGIMON! Now, prepare yourself for DELETION, Zeed!" Dorothy cried out in a cold-hearted manner.
"GO FOR IT, DOROTHY!" Max called out to his 'big sister'.
Stepping into a battle position, Dorothy faced off against the Time God of Destruction, the ultimate evil of this universe. Once an engine of destruction, Dorothy would put aside her past and set forward towards the future. Only she would determine her own choice: life or death. She chooses to sacrifice herself for the sake of her loved ones.
The first to make their move was Zeed. He flew out across at Dorothy and throws out a vicious fist strike. Dorothy managed to maneuver to the side and ducks under. She flips up and kicks Zeed directly into the gut. That alone did little damage to Zeed, but he did slightly feel it.
"Argh! I'll admit did slightly effect me. You're the only other individual besides Taichi to at least inflict some pain on my God-like body."
"I'm honored… NOT!"
Dorothy cries out and throws out a barrage of fists at Zeed. The Dark God immediately puts his guard and counters her punches. The former D-Reaper takes flight into the heavens with Zeed trailing on her. With a confident smirk across her face, she quickly phases out of sight. Zeed was left alone and wondering where she vanished. However, the Dark God didn't seem at all worried and remained calm.
Suddenly, there was a loud sonic boom incoming towards him at the front. Zeed remained collected for a few seconds until an after-image of Dorothy appeared in front of him. He points a finger and shoots out a blast. The blast went right through the after-image. Zeed quickly turns around to find Dorothy finally throwing her condensed energy sphere at him.
"KERNEL SPHERE!"
She swiftly pushed the sphere against Zeed and sends him hurtling backwards. The Dark God held the mighty sphere back with his strength and kicks it up into the heavens. Dorothy takes advantage of her distracted adversary and knees him in the face. There was a sudden pause for a few moments but then Zeed recovered from the blow. He snatches Dorothy and applies a sleeper hold around her neck. The girl struggled against the Dark God's tight grip.
"Now, you can't escape my grip, D-Reaper! I'll crush your head like a melon!"
"Don't… count on it…"
"What's that!"
Suddenly, Dorothy's body dimmed a crimson aura and it caused the Zeed to release his grip. The girl turns around and creates a ki barrier around herself. Bringing her hands forward, she presses them together and condenses it to a ki sphere. Her hand caught grasp of the sphere and hurls it directly at Zeed. The Dark God prepared himself as he went to dispel the sphere.
"I'll simply cancel that out!"
Before he even had a chance to cancel it, the sphere vanished out from sight. Zeed was caught completely off of his guard and attempted to sense the presence of the ki ball.
"Where did it go?"
"I'd advise to watch your back if I were you," Dorothy snickered. "Hopefully this will bid more time for Tai, Matt, Davis and TK to pull off their Fusion techniques. Don't worry, Zeed. The fun is just getting started."
"Ha! I see what you're planning!" Zeed laughed. "You're just bidding more time for your friends to execute their Fusions. Do I have to repeat myself over and over? No Fusions!"
"What makes you think I'm stalling time for them? Maybe I just want to take you out all for myself. Perhaps to prove to you that you're not so high and mighty," Dorothy chuckled. "You did say I was the D-Reaper? Perhaps once I get rid of you, I'll revert back to my old evil self? There's only room for one engine of destruction and that certainly will not be you. Make room for the Reaper, Zeed, because I'm handing you your death warrant."
With that said, she snapped her fingers and the ki sphere reappears above Zeed. The sphere then explodes into an array of ki balls that start colliding into the Dark God. The beast unleashed a howling pain once each sphere slammed into his body and began deleting portions of his God-like physique.
"Oh wow! She's actually causing damage to him already! It's about time!" Max exclaimed. "I can't believe Dorothy is going to pull this one off!"
"Well, she did manage to regain her former powers after absorbing Avengemon," Pikkan reminded the boy. "But, this will provide them enough time to execute their Fusion and finish off the weakened Zeed."
"Let's hope so, Pikkan. For our sake," BW said.
After hearing upon the strategy being implemented by Dorothy, Mystic Celesta struggled to move across to where both Ultima X and War Angemon were laying sprawled. She strained to place an arm over the duo in order to use her healing energy to restore them back to at least half of their full strength.
"You two have to go through with the Fusion… Dorothy is holding back Zeed to give you two along with Matt and my brother. We'll… need those two Fusions if we hope to succeed."
Slowly opening his eyes, War Angemon responded to his wife's pleas and nudged Ultima X's shoulder.
"Davis… You heard her… Dorothy is giving us time to use our Fusion. This is our last chance…"
Ultima X slowly moves about and manages to regain consciousness. However, he was still reeling from the effects of Zeed's assault.
"Damn, that guy really knocked the hell out of me… We're lucky to even still be alive…"
"We won't be… for long until we've defeated that monster," War Angemon coughed out. "C'mon, we have a chance to pull off our Fusion."
"Right… Even if it's worth getting our asses kicked again… Let's go for it, TK…"
"Heh… Well, at least you got my name right…"
"Which is quite the rare occasion," chuckled Mystic Celesta. "You guys! There's no time to waste! Hurry up and get it over with!"
"RIGHT!"
Immediately hearing the term Fusion, two figures emerged out from the fallen debris. Omega X and Metalla X blasted their way through to catch their breath.
"Man! What is with this guy!" Omega X lets out a gasp. "First, he takes the lives of our friends and family. Then, he decides to thrash us around like we were rag dolls! I'm through with this guy!"
"Be glad we're still alive to tell about it," Metalla X gasped for breath. "Hey! Look! Dorothy is taking it to Zeed!"
"I know and it seems her attacks are damaging Zeed," War Angemon replied. "Since she was once the D-Reaper, she inherited its abilities to delete data after absorbing Avengemon."
"Good, that will bid us enough time to pull off this damn Fusion. We won't even have to worry about anymore interruptions," Ultima X said. "You hear that, Tai? Matt? You two can also pull this Fusion off!"
"Though, there's a chance a Fusion between my Mazoku form and Matt's level four power will prevent a successful Fusion from occurring. We have to be at equal height and power levels. Matt and I are the same height, but our powers differentiate"
"Just had to rub it in, do you?" scoffed Metalla X.
"I'm serious. There's a chance Fusion will not work, but it's worth a shot, Matt. Don't you think?"
"Never hurts to try, but remember. This is for the last time."
"Yeah. Yeah. Let's get this over with."
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion that engulfed the heavens from where Dorothy was currently engaged in battle with the Dark God. The warriors looked up to feel the evil ki of Zeed once again growing extraordinarily.
"Oh no! Looks like Dorothy's comeback has been cut short!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "No! Zeed's power is growing again!"
"Damn! There's no end to this bastard's power!" Ultima X cursed.
"C'mon, Dorothy! Just a little longer and the two fused fighters will step in! Just you wait and see!" Omega X thought.
Zeed began laughing at the futile attempts Dorothy was trying to use against his almighty power. Even her deletion powers were becoming ineffective against the Dark God. The reincarnated D-Reaper found herself to be helpless and no longer a match for Zeed.
"So, is this the best the reincarnation of the once terrifying galactic destroyer can inflict on little ol' me?" Zeed laughed in a mocking manner. "How pathetic. You're a shadow of your former self, D-Reaper. I can easily crush you like the insect that you are."
For the first time, Dorothy felt unrelenting fear and was stiff frozen in fear. Even her deadliest attacks have proven to be ineffective, but he wasn't going to give in to Zeed's threats. If there was something Tai had taught her, that was to never give up. She, too, has bound to carry the Kamiya Bushido code.
"I will not give up! You may take my life, Zeed, but I know my friends will avenge me. Tai. Max. You two have been the greatest friends a girl could ever ask for. Thank you for teaching me everything about the importance of life and what it is like to have fun, Tai. You are like a father to me and I wish to grow up to be just like you. Henry. I was already starting to think you were more than just a friend to me. Looks like I maybe joining you soon. Digi-Destined. Tamers. Warriors. I love each and everyone of you. Now, allow me to atone for every deplorable act I have perpetrated as the D-Reaper! Make those Fusions count, guys! Here goes nothing!"
Dorothy tensed her body up as a bright aura engulfed her form. She shifts her glare directly towards Zeed and flies out at him for one final assault. She was going to make this attack truly count, but, at the same time, staking her own life at the same time. Her loud battle cries were heard echoing and heartfelt by the other warriors. They knew well that she no longer stands a chance of winning against the Dark God.
"Dorothy! Don't do this! You're only throwing your own life away!" Max screamed out. "PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!"
As Max attempted to fly out, both BW and Pikkan were there to restrain the boy. He struggled under their weight and lashed out like a vicious, rapid animal. His heartfelt screams called out directly for Dorothy.
"I lost mom and Keke! I can't lose you either! DOROTHY! DON'T DO THIS!"
Dorothy came closer and closer with her fists glowing with intense energy. Merely chuckling under his breath, Zeed points a single finger directly aimed for the blonde. The scene immediately turned into a slow motion sequence as all eyes were set on the dramatic moment. Then…
…
…
…
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
…
…
…
Dorothy's eyes widened and her mouth widened with blood emerging out in a crimson mist. Her eyes became lifeless and her body slowly went plummeting from the heavens. The face on Zeed's face twisted into that of a cruel smile.
Max and everyone else were utterly heartbroken by this display of sacrifice made by Dorothy. She made it clear that she would stake her own life for her loved ones. True enough, she made it true to her word. Max screams out in anguish after witnessing the loss of yet another loved one.
"Not, Dorothy!" Shintomon gasped in thought. "First my lady, then our friends and now Dorothy! When is this madness going to stop! Zeed! You're rampage has gone far enough!"
Despite the cries and pleas of anguish, Zeed was laughing heartily like a madman possessed. He takes flight down towards Dorothy's lifeless corpse and punches a fist right through the girl's torso. The impact caused even more crimson mass to emerge. Her body quickly disintegrates into a cloud of data and becomes absorbed into Zeed's body. He gladly took the data and added the former D-Reaper to his source of powers gathered. He was clear on his word that he would emerge as the ultimate force this universe has ever witnessed.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Omega X exclaimed. "YOU MONSTER!"
"I know how you feel, Tai, but she did it for you guys to pull off your Fusion! You have to do this quickly!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed. "She gave her life to ensure that we survive!"
"Tai! Your sister has a point! Let's get this Fusion over with and we'll at last avenge our loved ones! I know I'll make this bastard regret what he's done to Mimi, Palmon and Keke."
"You heard them, Davis! Let's get rid of this nightmare once and for all!" War Angemon growled.
"Ready, whenever you are!"
As the four warriors immediately got into their stances, Mystic Celesta looks up and notices Zeed turning his attention back towards them. He was quick to realize about their upcoming Fusion techniques.
"Oh no! He's already onto us!" the Angel of Light gasped.
"Hurry up! He's coming!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
"-SION!"
"-SION!"
"HA!"
"EVOLVE TO!"
Finally, after many interruptions made by Zeed, the four warriors successfully managed to pull off the Fusion techniques. Two bright columns of light engulfed the pairs and brightened across the landscape. The Dark God shielded his eyes from the radiation and growled deeply to himself since he failed to prevent their Fusions.
"Curse those blasted humans! That wench still managed to make sure they were able to pull off their Fusions!"
"Yeah! Now, you're in for it, Zeed! Two Fusion warriors for the price of one!" Max laughed. "They're going to avenge everyone that you've killed!"
Scoffing at the boy, Zeed turned his attention directly towards the already fused warriors. The first to step out was the combined form of Ultima X and War Angemon. For the first time in many years, War Dramon was revived and ready to get back into action.
The appearance of War Dramon still hasn't changed since the last battle he took part in against the D-Reaper. He stands out as a tall warrior with golden boots, white battle armor with a chest plate embedded with the symbols of Hope and Miracles, a golden vest decorated with blue outlining, golden battle gloves, a battle helmet with golden stilts protruding upward and spiked hair with a mixture of blue/gold. His face was dragon-like with a few human features and emerald green eyes. The arms, legs and chest were muscular in appearance. A bright aura engulfed the fully Fused warrior.
"Dum! Dum! Dum! Duuuuuuuuuum! Finally, War Dramon has come back to action! It's been too long!" the arrogant warrior snickered.
"Well, you sure haven't changed. You still have Davis' spunk," Mystic Celesta sighed.
"We'll get to that later, Kari. We have friends to avenge and a no good bastard to kick around. Now, Zeed! Get prepared to be afraid because War Dramon is ready to kick that ass! Get it?" the warrior laughed as he bent over and pointed to his posterior. "My butt has a few words to say to you before we get down to business!"
"Now isn't the time, you guys!" Gallantmon calls out. "Man, here we are in a serious situation and all he wants to do is have fun!"
Bending over, War Dramon grabs his posterior and clears his throat to change his voice for his 'butt' to speak out.
"Excuse me, but may… I ASS you a few questions!"
"You guys! This isn't the time!" a pair of voices call out from the other column of light.
Nearly gasping beyond belief, the warriors turned around to find the same warrior pair. Yes, it indeed did come to truth. Davis and TK were successful in implementing their Fusion, but Tai and Matt failed to pull it off. Omega X and Metalla X were still standing out in their Fusion dance positions with bewildered looks across their faces.
"Ack! It didn't work! See? I told you so!" Omega X cried out. "But, it was worth a try."
"Damn! I thought we had that one! We were so close, but… Wait! You didn't lower your power level to match it up with mine, didn't you?"
"I did just that and nothing more. Our power levels were exactly the same. Unless… Hold up! You… You didn't stick your finger out straight at the very end! That's it!"
"What! Are you implying that I didn't get it right! Do you realize how ridiculous I even look during that stupid pose! Ever consider how I feel!"
"Well, look on the bright side, at least we have one fully Fused warrior on our side. How does it feel to be back, War Dramon?"
"Better than ever and ready to make this jack ass beg he ever crossed paths with the great War Dramon!" the fused warrior snickered.
"He sure loves talking in third person, doesn't he?" Gallantmon asked.
"It's a side effect of the Fusion dance," Omega X said. "Davis' playful and arrogant nature is dominant over this guy. When Matt and I fused into Kaiser X, it was my playful side that was most dominant. Now, we should be more than enough to take this monster out to dry."
"This one's for Dorothy!" Mystic Celesta said while picking up her sword.
Shifting their direction towards Zeed, the warriors prepared to do battle against the powerful Dark God. Omega X, Metalla X, War Dramon, Mystic Celesta and Gallantmon each levitated up into mid-air to surround Zeed. The Dark God remained calm and collected with arms crossed. Almost on cue, Omega X powers up with an intense battle aura and an angry scowl. The others followed in suit.
"You fools. Not even with one fully Fused warrior will you make a difference. I've already absorbed your dearest Dorothy and she now has become apart of me. The D-Reaper is apart of me. Now, which one of you will be next to die and become one with my God-like flesh?"
"Killing us? Not on your lifetime, pal," Omega X scoffed. "The only dead man I see is you. We'll make sure we send you to your grave."
"You must be mistaken for someone else, because you will be the one to be buried, Taichi," Zeed laughed. "But I will save you for last. Your friends on the other hand will fall one by one like dominoes."
"Forgot to say this, but you're forgetting about somebody else!" the voice of Susanoomon calls out in defiance.
Quickly turning around, Zeed noticed Susanoomon rising to his feet slowly and struggling to stand. The Dark God became annoyed with the warrior and shoots out a massive beam from his index finger. The blast came hurtling down like a missile and penetrated right through Susanoomon's chest. The warrior howled out in pain and exploded into a radiant light. Separating apart out of his whole body, Susanoomon was reduced back to the six legendary warriors. Out of the six, only Kaiser Greymon was spared and landed on the ground below. The other five de-evolved back into their normal human forms. Their screams faded away as fractal data coding encircled them. Taking this opportunity, Zeed absorbed each of the five children and began feeding like there was no tomorrow. Yet, more and more causalities were mounting in this traumatic yet important battle.
"No! Not the legendary warriors, too!" Max exclaimed. "This nightmare has to stop!"
"ZEED! THAT'S ENOUGH! THIS IS WRONG!" Omega X roared out in a demonic manner. "WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO FULLY SATISFY YOUR GREEDY APPETITE!"
Zoe. JP. Tommy. Kouji. Kouichi. These five children including their spirits were all becoming one with the Dark God. Laughing maniacally, Zeed felt his power grow extraordinarily and this was only merely the beginning. All he needed was to absorb a few victims, including the corpses of Ken and Lady Moinanea. However, he shifted his attention on the remaining warriors instead.
Awakening from his fallen position, Kaiser Greymon found himself all alone without the company of his friends. He had just realized that they were absorbed by Zeed. He gets up and calls out indirectly for his now deleted friends.
"I'm all alone! No! This can't be! Kouji! Kouichi! Zoe! JP! Tommy! This can't be happening to me! ZEED! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
"Ha! Now that's funny! All I'm hearing from you weaklings are petty threats! 'I won't get away with this' and 'I'm going to have to pay for my crimes'. Wake up! What has been happening the moment I have taken this new form? I have proven my dominance over you simpletons and taken away your most beloved friends. They all now have become apart of me. Anyone who is absorbed by me should feel honored. This is quite the rare opportunity!"
"I've enough out of you," Omega X growled as he seethed under his breath. "You have already killed enough as it is! It's time we RETURN the favor! EVERYONE! ATTACK AT ONCE!"
"You don't have to tell me twice! Let's do this!" Kaiser Greymon calls out.
As each of the digital warriors summoned forth through their available power sources, they were preparing to unleash a mighty combined force that could spell doom for the invincible Dark God. Kaiser Greymon was the first to summon forth his strongest technique. He sets his sword forward, collects enough fire energy through the blade tip and unleashes a mighty fiery wave at Zeed.
"DRAGONFIRE CROSSBOW!"
Gallantmon's white swords condensed together into a mighty glowing sphere. Gathering enough energy through his palms, he directly sends it at Zeed while calling out the name of his attack.
"FINAL JUSTICE!"
Mystic Celesta sheathed her sword, cupped her hands to her side and unleashes a powerful holy-based energy blast. This was an attack she has become very accustomed to and it was similar to her brother's own Terra Beam, only this one had a more holy power behind it. She directly aimed it for Zeed.
"SANTO HOLY BEAM!"
War Dramon was up next to unleashing his attack. He puffed out his chest and spat out at least ten white ghost-like figures. Each one sported the same face as War Dramon and gave off silly, cocky grins. Like a commanding general, War Dramon ordered his ghost army to fly out to attack Zeed at once.
"Attack formation! Take out that butt munch! SUPER GHOST KAMIKAZE! ATTACK!"
"YES, SIR!"
With that said, the ghosts flew out together into a masses and aimed directly for Zeed. The Dark God didn't even attempt to move despite the Kamikaze ghosts aiming to attach themselves to him in order to detonate simultaneously.
Next up, Metalla X flies up into midair and crosses his hands out in front and folds them out. He lets out a howl and releases a powerful ice-blue energy beam. The eruption of the attack caused the heavens to tremble under his sheer might.
"ICE BARRIER BEAM!"
Finally, Omega X leapt high above into the heavens with his hands gathering a large amount of blue ki energy. The radiation of the energy sphere illuminated brilliantly across Omega X's body. Calling out the chantation of his attack, more energy was gathered at an extraordinary rate. He pushes his hands forward and forces out a widened energy blast that dwarfed every other attack before him.
"TERRA BEAM! TIMES TEN!"
The incoming attacks came from all sides at once and aimed directly for Zeed. The Dark God found himself at the most dangerous position. He was DEAD CENTER as an easy target. Max, Pikkan, BW and Shintomon each looked on hopeful that the attacks would at least inflict damage on the Dark God.
"C'mon, this has to at least pull off!" Shintomon thought.
"Hit that mark, guys!" Max exclaimed.
"Zeed's not doing anything!" BW calls out. "Is he stupid or something! He's just going to let himself die that easily!"
"Wait! Look!" Pikkan pointed out. "Damn! I knew it was going to be too easy for him!"
"What? Wait! On no! Zeed's going for a reversal!" Max gasped out.
"Nice try, but… You need to be more CREATIVE with your choice attacks! Allow me to return them where they rightfully belong! YAMI ZEED REFLECTOR!"
As he called forth his newest defensive spell, Zeed summoned forth an array of time portal doorways that surrounded his body. Each of the warriors' own attacks were sent directly through the portals and sealed away. The closed portals rotated around in criss-cross mismatch order. Snapping his fingers, the portals reopened and unleashed the attacks directly back at the digital warriors. In this case, Metalla X's own attack was being directly aimed for War Dramon. The others faced off with one of their comrades' own attacks.
"UGH! He's managed to reflect our own attacks but to different individuals!" Omega X exclaimed. "Damn! This one's my sister's attack!"
One portal directly sends out a dark energy beam, which was once Mystic Celesta's Holy Beam attack. It was contaminated with darkness. Omega X swiftly slams a fist through the beam and cuts it down in half effortlessly.
"That was low! Reflecting my sister's attack on me!"
Metalla X watched as the happy go lucky ghosts came charging at him head on. The warrior scoffed, brings a hand forward and blasts each ghost with a ki blast. Each one detonated from each blast and left nothing but a trail of billowing smoke.
"Humph. Don't make me laugh."
Meeting Gallantmon's most devastating attack, Mystic Celesta used her Omega Blade and sliced it down in half. The blast exploded on impact but did no damage to the Royal Knight of Light.
"Nice try, Zeed, but that won't work on us!"
Gallantmon came into contact with Kaiser Greymon's Dragonfire Crossbow. He quickly creates a ki barrier and dispels the fiery attack in the knick of time. His shield singed with intense heat and let off a gust of steam.
"Whew, never play with fire or you're going to get burned!"
Finally, Kaiser Greymon came into contact with Omega X's own Terra Beam. However, unlike the rest of the other warriors, this attack would be too much for even Takuya to take. Nonetheless, the Zeta-hybrid brought his sword forward and prepared to slice through it. He took one swing and then… POOF. The attack abruptly vanished out of thin air. The warriors, including Kaiser Greymon, were immediately caught off guard.
"Hey! Where did it go!" exclaimed Metalla X.
"My brother's own attack just vanished just before it made any contact with Takuya!" Gallantmon stated. "Huh! Wait! I'm feeling the presence of that same attack!"
Looking up directly above where Max and the others were standing, the massive attack came plunging down. The entire scene turned out into sudden slow motion. Max, Pikkan, BW and Shintomon gasped out in shock as the massive beam came closer to reaching them. Omega X lets out a horrified gasp as he bear witnessed what could be the inevitable demise of his friends and his own son. Not considering another option, Omega X placed his fingers over his forehead and phases out of sight. He quickly reappears where the beam was raining down. The beam came closer and closer… Until…
…
…
…
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Omega X pushes out with an invisible force and reflects the powerful beam directly back at Zeed. The Dark God gasped in utter disbelief as the beam increased its width and length across the skylines. Zeed unleashed a horrifying roar and felt that his end was inevitably near.
"Yes! What a curveball! Now, that's a smart move on your part!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"I never even saw that coming! That was a close one, Tai!" Kaiser Greymon stated.
"Way to go, big brother!"
"Ha! How do you like them apples now!" War Dramon taunted the Dark God. "Ha! Ha! To you!"
"NOO! THIS CAN'T BE! NOT LIKE THIS! I WAS GOING TO BE A GOD! I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS! NOOOOO!"
"Heh, sorry, but your dinner celebration plans have been abruptly cancelled. Don't come back for another few thousand years! Better yet… Don't come back at all! Maybe this way, you'll release our friends and family from within your confines!" Omega X calls out.
"Game over for you, Zeed! Your fate has been sealed!" Max cried out. "We've won!"
However, the once frightened wide-mouth expression of Zeed faded and was replaced with a confident grin. This was all simply a ruse to throw his adversaries off guard.
"GOTCHA!"
"WHAT!" everyone, excluding the Dark God, exclaimed.
The Dark God brought his hands forward and forms an aura of dark energy through his hands. He swiftly waves his hands around and creates a dark ring-shaped projectile. He points forward and sends out his projectile to stop the deflected Terra Beam. The projectile attacks collided with each other as they strained with intense electric energy. Thus far, Zeed's attack was overwhelming the warrior's trademark ki attack.
"Time to get rid of that little nuisance! TIME PARADOX!"
With that said, the ring-shaped projectile transmuted itself into a time portal and sucked in the Terra Beam like a vacuum cleaner. The warriors quickly became alert while searching their surroundings in case the attack would be delivered right back at them unknowingly. Only Zeed could predict where the attack was going to emerge from. There was silence for a moment until a bright light emerged from out of a 'doorway'. The warriors quickly turned towards their right direction and caught glimpse of the open time portal.
"There! It's going to come out from out of there! Get ready, everyone! If I know my own attack very well, one shot could kill anyone of you individually," Omega X warned his team.
"Thanks for the warning," Gallantmon replied.
So far, they waited… and waited… and waited. Nothing was coming out of the time portal. However, there was a low humming coming from another direction. Omega X was the first to pick up on the incoming energy signal and turned along with the other following in suite. However, the beam did not emerge.
Unbeknownst to everyone, another portal formed under them and caught the warriors by surprise. Within an instant second, the massive Terra Beam shot up with mach speed and caught two of the digital warriors in its destructive wave. The victims were both War Dramon and Mystic Celesta.
…
…
…
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
The agonizing cries of the duo were heard and it was louder than any banshee could proud. Their simultaneous cries were enough to suddenly crush the hopes and hearts of the other warriors. Both Omega X and Metalla X looked on with utter disbelief. They gasped out as they came to realization that their own siblings were caught in the destructive.
"TK! DAVIS! KARI!" Omega X screamed out.
"NO! NOT THEM!" cried out Gallantmon.
"NO! YOU GUYS HAVE TO WITHSTAND THAT BLAST! DON'T GIVE UP!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"It's such a shame," Zeed sighed. "Taichi. I never knew you were so cold-blooded. You're not even attempting to save your beloved sister? You stand there and letting her die!"
"NO!"
Flying across towards the destructive blast, Omega X boosted his flight speed like never before and reached out for Mystic Celesta's hand. Tears strolled down his face and had immediate flashbacks of his life with Kari. He remembered the day she was born and the moments he used to spend time with her. Such memorable events included the day they first encountered a digimon during the Highton View Terrance incident, the adventure into the Digital World for the first time, the day Kari first achieved Digital Fusion status, her triumphant victory over Virus, the achievement of her Mystic power-up, her marriage to Takeru and the birth of her two children.
Meanwhile, Metalla X flies out in attempt to push War Dramon out. Even though the fused warrior was half Davis, the other half was the younger brother of Yamato. Metalla X was hell bent on preventing his brother from meeting death's doors. The warrior of friendship looks back to the most memorable events during his brother's life. Such important events included TK's birth, the separation of their family, the first adventure to the Digital World, Angemon's 'death', Angemon defeated Metal Garurumon during the battle for the Digital World, TK's sacrifice at the War Games, his ascension to the Digital Fusion stage, the marriage to Kari and becoming a father.
At the same time, Davis was soon about to become vanquished along with two of his best friends. Omega X and Metalla X both attempted to reach out for their siblings. However, it was too late. Mystic Celesta gasped before succumbing into an unconscious state and de-evolved back into Kari and Gatomon. War Dramon broke down into four separate entities: TK, Davis, Veemon and Patamon.
"No! We're… We're too late!" Omega X cried out. "NO! KARI! TK! DAVIS!"
"This can't be! Tai! We're too late to save them!" Metalla X roared.
"NO! THIS ISN'T FAIR!"
Zeed appears over his captured prey and watches as their unconscious forms levitated around him. With a snap of his fingers, a pair of dark, emerald-like crystals materialized. Each crystal emitted a majestic, yet sinister purple aura.
"What is the point to this! Don't you dare absorb them! Fight me instead and leave them alone!" Omega X growled in an animalistic manner and his demonic fangs. "I'm warning you! I will not show you any damn mercy!"
"Who says I was planning to absorb them?" Zeed chuckled. "No, I have further use for these cursed whelps. Tell me, Taichi. Yamato. How would you feel if you were forced to fight your own loved ones?"
"You've got to be joking. You won't make them fight us! They won't let themselves become brainwashed by the likes of you!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"They'll resist your dark powers!" Gallantmon retorted.
"What he said! You're only bluffing! We don't buy it!" replied Kaiser Greymon.
However, Max was beginning to show a little concern over what Zeed had just revealed. Could the Dark God actually turn their own friends against their own? That was the question lingering in the boy's mind.
"He can't be telling the truth. Could he?" Max asked. "He has to be lying! He couldn't turn Davis, Aunt Kari and Uncle TK against us?"
"I can't say, Max. I'm sorry," BW sighed. "I just hope he is lying. What do you think, Pikkan?"
BW turned around and saw Pikkan carrying Ken's corpse over to where Max was sitting. He shrugged his shoulders in response to the former artificial digimon's question.
"I… I'm a loss for words. Though, if I were those guys, I'd be cautious."
Even Shintomon was a loss for words. He wouldn't dare doubt the Dark God for actually calling out a bluff, since he is capable of nearly any impossible feat, including screwing up the physics of time and space.
"If Zeed has the ability to screw with the physics of this universe, I have no doubt he'll use those three as his new pawns. He's attempting to break down Taichi and Yamato to attack their own siblings. Zeed, you're taking the cowards way out!"
"Now, what do you say we make things interesting? So far we only have eight players left in the game. With these three and myself, you'll be crushed and nothing will stand in my way of universal destruction. I no longer have any use for this universal continuity. Taichi. You and your friends have sealed your fates. Hell shall become your eternal home ground once this is all said and done."
With yet another snap of his fingers, the dark crystals shot out beams across at TK, Davis and Kari. Their bodies became encased into dark cocoon-like casings. Their digimon partners, also, were encased inside dark cocoons. Omega X and his allies stood back as they feared for the worst to come. Their next challenge would be fighting their own comrades.
"I don't think even Kari's light will save her from this!" Omega X thought. "She may have broken free from Bebimon's control, but this is the Dark God. His dark power makes Bebimon seem like an inferior cockroach."
Inside each encasing, the trio was being filled with Zeed's negative energy. They suddenly started to de-age from their current adulthood to the ages that they were when they first entered the Digital World. In Davis' case, he was turned back to an eleven-year old and the other two were turned back to eight-year-olds.
"Why is he de-aging them!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"You'll seen soon enough," snickered Zeed. "Now, arise my Yami no Senshi!"
Calling out forth his command, the de-aged trio and their digimon partners merged together to form three fully merged entities. Davis and Veemon merged together to form a darker version of Ultima X. His armor was completely dark and his sword was red. Next, a darker form of War Angemon stepped out of his crystal with dark angel wings and dark armor. His long hung back and was silver in pigmentation. A pair of crimson eyes dimmed through his skull-like helmet. However, Kari's dark form was even more menacing. Her armor is pitch black with a grayish fade. Her face was pale with crimson eyes dimming and a pair of vampire fangs hung over her lips.
Out of everyone horrified by the new Yami no Senshi, Omega X and Metalla X were devastated the most. They seethed angrily as they made eye contact with Zeed.
"NO! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?" Omega X roared.
"I want to be convinced that you have enough cold blood to kill your loved ones, Mazoku. You tore Saitou like her were a child. I want to see this demonic nature of the Digi-Mazoku. Prove to me that you are worthy of my time."
Standing his ground, Omega X restrained himself. The others were just as angry yet cautious about the predicament. The dark trio faced off with their 'former allies' and lined up ready to kill. Omega X, Max and Gallantmon were heartbroken. Metalla X couldn't stand the thought of fighting and even possibly killing his own brother.
"You guys! We can't go through with this! He's counting on us to destroy them!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "No! I can't bring myself to destroy Kari's body! After everything she's taught me…"
"Wake up, boy! There's no other way! How do you think I feel knowing that I must slay my own brother!" Metalla X retorted.
"He's right, Takato," Omega X sighed. "Besides, Kari, TK and Davis would rather want us to destroy them now. I can feel them down deep and they don't want to fight us either."
"What's with all this chit chat?" Zeed snickered. "Aren't you fellows going to take up arms and fight your three friends? Tell me, Taichi. How does it feel having to face your own sister? Deep down inside, she really views you as a coward."
"LIAR!"
Immediately responding to the Dark God's mocking taunts, Omega X immediately powers up and flies across towards the Yami no Senshi.
"Tai! Wait!" Kaiser Greymon calls out.
Looking on from beyond, Max was stiff as a statue and couldn't even utter a single word. His throat became strained and his knees trembling. He had to witness too many deaths in a matter of a few moments since Zeed actually made his first appearance. First, he loses his mother, Keke and everyone else he ever cared for. The boy even lost Dorothy, an individual he considered his 'big sister'. Now, he was forced to see the possibility of his aunt, uncle and Davis becoming slain by his own father all thanks to the Dark God corrupting the trio.
"Father… No! You can't go through with this! That's Aunt Kari and Uncle TK!"
"Will the Mazoku actually kill his beloved ones just for the sake of humanity?" BW thought.
"I can't believe he's actually going through with this! The Mazoku nature is truly blossoming within that guy! Zeed is counting on him to kill those three!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"Taichi! Don't do it! You can't lower yourself to what Zeed desires!" Shintomon shouted. "You're a good soul who won't stoop to killing in cold blood!"
"What do you expect, Shintomon?" Zeed laughed. "The Mazoku nature has become dominant within Taichi's blood! He's going to kill these three fools. How sad that they actually think they're my new warriors. They are merely just pawns to draw out the true Digi-Mazoku nature. Now, Taichi! KILL THEM! Tear them apart like you have done with Himo Saitou!"
"Truly sickening," Gallantmon growled. "That's it! Tai! Here I come!"
"Ditto here!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Hey, you two! Get back here!" Metalla X roared out.
As the three set off across the skylines in attempt to stop Omega X, the Digi-Mazoku launched himself at light speed to attack Zeed. He roared an unimaginable demonic roar that was enough to scare the wits off anyone, excluding the Dark God himself. His eyes set directly on Zeed and his hands already gathering an ampful amount of massive ki energy. He summons out for his trademark attack with his voice thundering within the Dark Realm's heavens.
"TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
"Now, my Yami No Senshi! Attack!"
Following the command of their new 'master', the dark warriors flew out across to attack Omega X head on. They completely ignored the attack which Omega X was preparing to launch in a few moments.
"No! Zeed's using them as his personal shields! I knew it would come down to this. You, guys. Daisuke. Takeru. Hikari, my dear sister. I'm sorry for this. I'll never forgive myself what I'm about to do."
"FATHER! DON'T DO IT!" Max screamed.
"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
Launched right out of the warrior's hands was a massive energy blast that covered nearly the entire skylines. The heavens trembled under the attack and aimed directly for the dark trio. Zeed watches on with a grin across his face.
…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
…
The massive beam collided head on with the trio and caught them within the blast. Omega X shuts his eyes while giving off a prayer for his deceased loved ones. The trio and their bodies were instantly incinerated and reduced into data one by one. Then, in their place were three bright orbs. One yellow, another blue and the last pink. They seemed like hearts for the warriors' themselves. Omega X lowered his head in shame for committing such a heartless act. Max fell to his knees and started to tear up. The piling number of causalities was already taking their toll on the boy's broken heart.
"Dad! I know you had do what you had to do, but was it really worth it? This is only going to fuel more energy for Zeed! Wait, unless…"
"Hey, look!" Pikkan pointed out.
Suddenly, much to everyone's surprise, Omega X immediately held a hand out and absorbed the data of his loved ones. He even managed to snare their heart crystals and absorbed them through his body. Zeed was stunned by these turn of events, but he certainly wasn't a happy camper about it.
"What is the meaning of this!" Zeed gasped out. "Why in the digi's name would you absorb your beloved ones?"
"Because they would rather merge with someone they could trust rather be used as pawns by a bastard like you," Omega X retorted once finishing the absorption process. "I maybe a Digi-Mazoku, but I still have a heart and soul. Those are qualities which you will never possess."
"Ha! I knew Tai wouldn't just kill them without a plan! He knew what he was doing! I admit having those three becoming absorbed by him is better than being used by Zeed," Gallantmon said.
"Tai! You had better have a reason for absorbing my brother like that!" Metalla X scoffed. "Wait, does he have a plan of some sort? He did swallow the digicore piece. By absorbing those three… Is he really aiming to do what I think he's doing!"
"Interesting, by absorbing those three and swallowing the digicore piece, there maybe just one last chance to defeat Zeed. That's it! He's using the heart crystals of Hikari, Takeru and Daisuke to resurrect one of the Seven monsters! But, which one? I hope this one will fight on our side," Shintomon thought.
"A good theory and I think it just might be possible, Shintomon," Pikkan nodded after reading the Supreme guardian's thoughts.
"Now, that was not a smart move on your part, Taichi!" Zeed's voice boomed. "Even by absorbing those three into your body, you are still not a match for me! I'll crush you like the insect you are."
Putting his right hand out, Zeed aimed directly towards Omega X and a massive ki sphere materialized through his palm. He set to blast away Omega X in one full swoop and take the digicore from within his body.
"NOW, DIE!"
"Hold it right there, Zeed!"
Just then, everyone stopped to find the source of the voice just now. Even Zeed was bewildered from this voice. Omega X gasped as he watched the digicore piece emerge out through his forehead like a ghost emerging out of a corpse's body. The digicore itself became purified when it united with the heart crystals belonging to Kari, TK and Davis. Streams of yellow, blue and pink light intertwined with the digicore to form a familiar gargoyle-dragon that Omega X was more than happy to see again.
A smile crossed Omega X's face once he laid his eyes upon the revived fire elemental dragon, Novadramon. The others gasped out in shock at the turn of events. The powers from the three Digi-Destined helped to purify the digicore and restore Novadramon back to life.
"What! You're back!" Zeed exclaimed in shock.
"All right! Novadramon! You're back! So my plan did work!"
"So, that's it! Tai absorbed the data and those crystals from TK, Kari and Davis in order to purify the digicore. That way, he would help to restore a Shadow Beast, but wait! Shouldn't he be on Zeed's side!" Gallantmon panicked.
"No way! You said yourself that digicore was purified! This guy is definitely fighting on our side! He has the strength of my aunt, uncle and Davis coursing through his veins!" Max responded. "You're a genius, dad! Though, I admit, you did have me worried there."
"Ha. I knew what I was doing. Novadramon, it's good to have you back my friend," Omega X smiled.
Turning his attention over to the warrior of courage, Novadramon responds with a grin and an assuring nod to his new friend.
"Likewise, Taichi," Novadramon replied. "With the combined powers of your sister, Takeru, Daisuke and my own, I'm ten times stronger than I ever was before. Thank you."
"It was nothing really, but I do still owe you a fight."
"Heh. That you do."
Angrily growling under his breath, Zeed was certainly not expecting this twist of events. Slamming his fists together, he prepared himself to do battle with not just Tai and his friends but also Novadramon.
"Brilliant scheme on your part, Taichi. Restoring Novadramon was a nice way to even out your side, but you still think he will be enough to stop me? Fools, I am Zeed Millenniumon. You cannot prevent me from carrying out my destiny to destroy this universe and the human world. This new plan of yours will fail, Taichi. I guarantee it. Novadramon is only another lamb to be thrown into the slaughter."
Rainbow Bridge. 9:20 P.M.
An hour and a half has already passed. The high monster activity had dramatically decreased thanks in part to the worldwide effort of the International Digi-Destined. This even included the leftover Digital Warriors sent by Azulongmon.
Piximon, Andromon and Centaurmon helped Metal Seadramon and his human partner, Michael, to take care of the monsters attacking Japan. Using his laptop, Michael ensured each of the rogues was directly transported back to the Digital World. The radical lighting that skewered the heavens had died down. Earthquakes had stabilized.
Michael stopped as he closed his laptop and took a glance over towards the skies. They dark clouds were dispersing and giving way to a more clearly heavenly presence. A full moon was shown in its full magnificent display for the world to see again. This looked like a good sign.
"According to reports I'm receiving from the International Digi-Destined, the rogues have been sent back to the Digital World. That's a good sign," Michael said. "Metal Seadramon. Looks like our work here is done."
"That's good to know," nodded the metal sea serpent. "By the way, have you heard anything from the Odaiba and New Generation Digi-Destined Yet?"
Taking another look at his digivice, he was unable to pick up any new messages from his fellow Digi-Destined friends. It's been a while since he's even heard from Mimi.
"No and that's really start to concern me."
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think they will answer anytime now!" Piximon calls out. "I'm not sensing the ki from either of the digimon. I'm only sensing a few."
"He's right. I'm afraid whatever they are battling have already wiped out the large percentage of the team," Andromon calculated. "I… I didn't think there'd be another enemy besides the rogue human…"
"Well, life's always full of surprises," replied Centaurmon."
"Then again, maybe you three need to adjust your ki reading," a familiar, ogre-like voice spat out.
"Huh! Now where have I heard that so familiar tone before?" Centaurmon wondered. "It's good to know that you're doing well, Ogremon."
Turning around, a green, muscular ogre stepped out from beyond the fog building up around the bridge. He held his club in his right hand and brushed his tiny tuft of light-purple hair over his scalp. His mouth was still widened out with a row of sharp teeth along with a pair of fangs at the center. He used his club to pick at his teeth.
"You still are disgusting and rude as ever," Andromon sighed. "Nonetheless, it's great to see you."
"I take it you know what's going on in the Dark Realm? We have lost track of our comrades," Piximon said. "I can't even sense a large percentage of them."
"You might as well stop while you're at it, fuzz ball," Ogremon replied. "Looks like they might not be making it out of there alive."
"What makes you think so?" Michael asked.
"They aren't fighting the rogue human anymore. Tai already took care of him. No, they are fighting an even tougher hombre," Ogremon stated. "Does the Dark God ring a few bells?"
"What! You mean then it's true! This dark ki we've been sensing is the Dark God himself!" Piximon gasped in shock. "How is that possible! He isn't even supposed to exist in this realm for another few thousand years!"
"If that's the case, then we must do what we can to defend the human realm," Centaurmon stated. "If the Real World is destroyed, then the Digital Realms will cease to exist."
However, Michael was speechless. He couldn't believe what he had heard from Ogremon and the thought of his comrades slain by the almighty Dark God. Nearly everyone of them had been done in.
"This can't be possible. My friends… Everyone is dead! No, I refuse to believe it!"
"Are there any survivors?" Andromon asked. "Right, now. I'm picking up the energy signals of Taichi, Yamato, Takato, and a few others."
"Those guys you just mentioned, plus that Alterian guy and Black War Greymon's reincarnate form," Ogremon nodded. "That kid, Max, is still alive."
"Well, that's good to know. Wait, I'm picking up the energy level of another individual! A new combatant has entered himself into the fray just now!" exclaimed Andromon.
"Yes! I'm sensing it too! Who would this new arrival be?" Piximon wondered.
"Whoever it may be, I hope he's on our side. We will need everything, including a miracle, if we have any chance of overcoming the Dark Time God," Centaurmon said.
"Hang in there, guys. I know you can do it! You few are our only hope left. This is one battle we can't afford to lose! Whoever is with you had better provide enough strength to help overcome this new, strong enemy! I'm pulling for you all."
The Dark Realm. 9:21 P.M.
With all eyes set on the revival of Novadramon, Omega X and Metalla X witnessed the fire-elemental dragon face off with the powerful Dark God himself. Zeed's eyes were locked tightly onto Novadramon, since it is Novadramon who holds possession of the last digicore piece. If Zeed manages to absorb Novadramon, then he will at last gain full power and enough to destroy every living creature in his destructive crusade.
"Man! I can't believe you're actually going to fight on our side, Novadramon! This is great!" Omega X laughed excitedly.
"Just in the knick of time, too," Gallantmon nodded. "Now Zeed has to contend with one of his own!"
However, Novadramon had another idea in mind and made a statement that would shock the Digi-Destined.
"I will be the one that defeats Taichi," Novadramon stated promptly.
The warriors gasped out in shock and were taken back by those comments made by Novadramon. Even Omega X felt his heart suddenly stop beating and his blood chill.
"Wha-What did you say!" Omega X exclaimed. "He can't be! My sister, TK and Davis' soul crystals are within him! They should have purified him!"
"Well, I suppose I could share," Zeed snickered. "I knew you wouldn't turn on your own creator, Novadramon. You've made me proud."
"You really thought I'd turn to the side of these weaklings?" Novadramon stated. "You gave me life and I should pay my respects to you. Even the pure hearts of Hikari, Takeru and Daisuke were not sufficient enough to erase the dark energy you used to give me life."
Laughing out for everyone to hear, Zeed levitated down to where Novadramon greeted him with a bow. Yes, it seemed the prideful Novadramon had indeed shown his true colors: a loyal son to the Dark God. However, Omega X was determined to talk Novadramon out of this mistake.
"Think about what you're doing, Novadramon!" Omega X calls out. "You know you can't trust him! It was one of his own offspring that killed you before! He'll do the same as Atolmdramon!"
"He's right! That guy is only going to turn on you!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"I don't think he's going to listen, guys," Kaiser Greymon whispered.
"Ha! What did you expect, Taichi? Even the heart crystals of your dear sister, Takeru and Daisuke couldn't taint the negative energy coursing through Novadramon. He inherits my dark energy," Zeed informed the warrior of courage. "Once a digicore is absorbed through me or anyone of my offspring, the power of the negative energy that flows through me or my offspring pollutes it again. Your attempt to swallow the digicore was nothing more than a foolish display of ignorance."
"Damn! We almost had it!" X cursed.
"No! This can't be! Novadramon! My dad is your friend! You should be fighting together against this guy!" Max cried out.
"So, what do you think, BW?" Pikkan asked.
"I'm completely lost on this one. Though, it makes me wonder if any positive energy from Tai helped to at least purify the digicore after he swallowed it," BW answered. "Either that or Tai made a big mistake."
"Novadramon has been reborn with his evil power ten times upgraded than ever before," Zeed laughed. "You may have eaten the digicore piece as a last resort, but it did you no good! You won't last more than a few seconds against the both of us."
Novadramon makes eye contact with Omega X and grins.
"This time, Taichi. I will show you no pity."
"Ha, so it comes that to this?" Omega X scoffed. "Well, I NEVER needed your help! I should have used those heart crystals to revive TK, Kari and Davis as I originally planned. It was a bonehead move on my part. Don't you worry. Once I defeat you, I'll get back that digicore and those three heart crystals."
"Don't get too overconfident," Metalla X replied.
"Yeah, from what I can tell, Novadramon's power has increased," Gallantmon warned the veteran fighter.
"In that case, then I better step in!" Metalla X snorted. "He's just another nonsensical bastard! Stay back, you small fry!"
With that said, Metalla X phases out from sight and takes flight across to attack Novadramon.
"Wait! Matt!" Omega X calls out.
However, the fight was already set to commence, Novadramon quickly phases out in response to Metalla X. They were spotted flying out towards each other in a head-on collision course. Metalla X threw out a few punches and attempts a flying kick. Novadramon saw this coming and leaps overhead onto Metalla X's head. The Warrior of Friendship turns around and is met with a direct kick to his face. Metalla X is sent plummeting down towards the earth below.
"Matt! Watch out! Novadramon is now stronger than any of the other offspring, especially since he has been revived! His speed is superior to ours now!" Omega X warned his comrade.
Sitting up from the buried debris, Metalla X spat out a mix of saliva and blood out of his mouth. He snorted and took Tai's advice grudgingly.
"Humph! I can tell that much without you telling me!"
As Novadramon launched a fiery ball out of his hands, Metalla X phases out from sight. A few nanoseconds later and Metalla X reappears at the center of the devastated city. Little did he realize that Novadramon was already behind him with arms crossed. Metalla X gasped out while feeling out Novadramon's presence. After a few attempts to phase away, Metalla X had failed to outmaneuver the quicker fire dragon.
"Hang in there, Matt!" Gallantmon exclaimed. "We're coming in!"
But, Gallantmon and Kaiser Greymon were too late to save their comrade. The Warrior of Friendship turned around to find Novadramon holding out a hand against a purple shield-like mirror projection. He charged enough fire energy through the mirror and set on blasting Metalla X.
"DIE!"
"WHA-"
Before he could finish the word with a 't', Novadramon launched a massive fire blast that had enough force to send Metalla X crashing through a nearby building and laying waste to nearly half of the abandoned city. The warriors all backed away and shielded their eyes from the massive dimming light. Zeed watches on with delight. X shielded Max over from the incoming debris. Pikkan and BW managed to create a barrier amongst themselves, while Shintomon did the same.
As the explosion died down, Novadramon levitated over the billowing smoke cloud looming over the devastation. The once abandoned demon digimon city was quickly wiped out from the map and left as a pile of fallen ruins. Nothing was left with smoke emerging from every corner. Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon and Omega X managed to uncover their eyes as they gasped. They found Metalla X laying under a pile of debris still in his fourth stage form but very much unconscious.
"MATT!" Omega X cried out.
"Hang in there!" Gallantmon calls out.
Before the crimson knight had a chance to cross further into the territory, the Dark God stopped him at his track with his arms stretched out. Gallantmon stopped dead cold and tensed up.
"Ha! If you plan on moving that fast, Takato, then I'd suggest moving to the opposite direction," Zeed taunted the knight. "We have enough fighters as it is. Give it to him, Novadramon. I leave Taichi all to you."
"I accept!" Novadramon replied with a smile. "Taichi! It's time!"
"Nova-"
As soon as he said that, he immediately phases out from sight and catches Omega X off guard. The warrior felt a strong force plunging through his stomach and found Novadramon plunging his feet into Omega X's gut. With Omega X recovering under a pile of debris, Novadramon launched himself back into the air and prepared yet another purple mirror projectile in front of him.
"HEAT WAVE BLAST!"
As Novadramon prepared to launch his devastating attack on Omega X, Zeed decided to sit this one out and calmly places a hand over his chin. He would take this time to watch the fight at hand and become entertained with the thought of Tai meeting his eventual end.
"Nobody here is a good enough challenge for me," Zeed scoffed. "But by giving Novadramon plenty of negative energy, even Omega X as the Digi-Mazoku will meet his end."
The fire dragon finally launches his attack, but Omega X easily dodges it using his Time Warp teleportation. Omega X reappears above Novadramon and waved his hands out in a familiar position. He started to chant out for his favorite attack.
"TEEEEEEEEEEEEERAAAAAAAA-"
"What's this? Heh, that persistent Taichi. He sure has a knack of showing resiliency," Zeed chuckled.
"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-"
However, before he had a chance to finish his chant with the '-am', Novadramon immediately phases out in front of Omega X. The fire dragon drives a fist directly into Omega X and sends him flying across. Novadramon dives down and takes flight after Omega X. He delivers more devastating blows all across the warrior's body. Omega X couldn't even attempt to block them out and found himself crashing through a pair of rock formations.
With Omega X laying down face first, Novadramon levitated to his fallen side and held a hand out over him.
Zeed was already losing his patience while tapping his finger on his right arm. He couldn't stand looking down at Omega X and wanted him eliminated quickly.
"Humph. Just how long is Novadramon going to toy around with him?" Zeed snorted. "I just wish he'd just finish these weaklings off, so we can move onto the human world."
Already landing on the ground to reach Metalla X's fallen side, Gallantmon and Kaiser Greymon bent down to revive him. Metalla X was slowly managing to move about and regaining consciousness.
"Matt! Hey, Matt! Are you all right?" Gallantmon asked.
"Matt!" Kaiser Greymon said as he attempted to reach his hand out.
However, Metalla X wanted none of it and swatted Kaiser Greymon's hand away.
"Of course, I'm all right!" the Warrior of Friendship retorted.
"Well, geez! Yell at me for being worried," Kaiser Greymon replied.
"At least you're not dead," Gallantmon stated.
"Something is not right," Metalla X informed the duo. "He's not even taking this seriously."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Kaiser Greymon asked.
Looking up down towards the crisis at hand, X and Max were starting to wonder about the situation. Even Pikkan, Shintomon and BW were starting to catch on. Fortunately, Shintomon was able to carry both Ken and Lady Moinanea along.
"Novadramon could have killed Yamato if he wanted to, but why didn't he?" Shintomon wondered.
"This is crazy! Novadramon is bent on killing my dad!"
"I don't think so, Max. There must be more to this than meets the eye," said X.
"Like what?"
"Just watch and see for yourself, kid."
"I can tell everyone else is starting to understand," Metalla X said. "Novadramon wasn't even trying to eliminate me. He simply wanted me out of the way."
"So, he's out there fighting like he's putting on a show?" Kaiser Greymon wondered.
"Perhaps…"
"But, why would he do that?" Gallantmon asked. "What's Novadramon's real intentions?"
Novadramon was seconds away from launching his final attack and ending Omega X's life. This could be the second time Tai meets death's doors on the same day and just when he had received his Digi-Mazoku powers.
"What are you waiting for, Novadramon?" Zeed growled. "Are you done playing around?"
Novadramon's hand created yet another glass projectile to unleash his next attack on the helpless Omega X.
"All right, Novadramon! Finish him off! Send Taichi to his grave! Heh, literally for a second time."
"Understood…"
Omega X slowly stands up on his two feet and gives a wink to Novadramon.
"However, the next one to be sent to his grave…"
Novadramon smiles and immediately turns around simultaneously along with Omega X. The two warriors made eye contact with Zeed.
"-will be… YOU!"
As soon as they said that, both Novadramon and Omega X launched out two enormous blasts directly towards Zeed. Even the Dark God was caught off guard by this double team sneak assault. He immediately responds by stopping the blasts with his palm hands. After that, he kicks both blasts directly into the heavens. That was more than enough time for Novadramon to implement his next strategy.
Within a few nanoseconds, Novadramon appears behind Zeed and wrapped his arms tightly around his waist. The Dark God roared as he attempted to break free of his offspring's strong grip.
"What are you doing! Release me now, Novadramon! I'm your creator!"
"Zeed! I've been waiting for this moment ever since Atolmdramon killed me! I won't watch you destroy everything!"
"Ha! Oh yeah! We've got you good!" Omega X laughed.
"ARGH! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" Zeed roared at Novadramon like an angry father. "I gave you enough negative energy to last you for eternity! So, you two were conspiring with each other! But why!"
"I may have taken your negative energy, but Taichi returned me to my senses. Plus, the heart crystals of Hikari, Takeru and Daisuke are responsible for this. Their pure hearts are amplifying my strength further!"
"Yes! That's right!" Max calls out happily. "Novadramon inherited the positive energy after being swallowed by my dad, plus he has the souls of my aunt, uncle and Davis to increase his strength further! Let him have it, Novadramon!"
"I've got to hand it to Tai," Pikkan said. "He knows how to pull through predicaments like none other, but did he have to do it at the last minute?"
"Better late than never as I would say," X replied.
"Then, was Tai really thinking that far ahead when he ate that digicore piece?" Gallantmon wondered.
"Tai. You silly bastard. Don't scare us like that again," Metalla X sighed.
Maintaining a tight grip around Zeed's waist, Novadramon kept the Dark God under his grip and refused to relinquish the tight hold.
"WHY, YOU…!"
"Listen! I came back to life to exact revenge against you after having Atolmdramon kill me! I'll send a message to that coward by killing the source that created us Shadow Beasts in the first place! YOU!"
Suddenly, a bright fiery circle started to form around the two. They were captured inside what looked like a massive sun-like sphere and fire encircling it.
"NOVA BURNING SPIRIT!"
"CURSE YOU!"
The sun sphere launched itself straight into the Dark Realm's heavens and rotated at many different angles. Nobody can even see or sense anything from what occurs inside the sphere. The flames would protect the two combatants inside while preventing any outside interference. Omega X looks up and whispers a few comments to himself.
"Good luck, Novadramon. Let's hope this works."
All eyes were focused on the burning sun sphere in the heavens. They wondered how Novadramon was going to finish the Dark God off where everyone else had failed to do so. The sphere now became coated with a protective ring of flames, which rotated around rapidly.
Inside the sphere, Novadramon still had a tight grip on Zeed and had no intentions of releasing his grip. The Dark God gave an angry scowl.
"Novadramon, don't you think you can defeat with this technique!"
"Not even you, the Dark God, can escape from the middle of this blaze, Zeed! It's as hot as the sun's surface itself! Go on and try it!"
Once releasing his grip on Zeed, the Dark God gasped as lava tentacles emerged from within the surroundings. The tentacles snared Zeed's arms, legs and waist. He growled angrily but winced from the incinerating inferno surroundings. It was a miracle that Zeed was even surviving this long.
"I cannot ever forgive you for sending Atolmdramon to cowardly shoot me in the back and killed me, no matter what. I'll never forget that moment or you for that matter! Since Atolmdramon is apart of you, then you and him both can fry together inside my territory! I only had one chance to defeat you, and that was for me to strike you during a moment of carelessness. That's why Taichi and I put on an act, in order for you to drop your guard."
"ARGH! YOU TWIT! I'm going to blow you away, together with your little deception!"
"Go ahead and try! You'll explode along with me!"
"What! Are you insane!"
"Sealed within this flame, if you were to shoot even one energy blast, its energy will expand, and this ball of flame will go up in a big explosion! When it finally does give out, not even your God-like body will save you! Care to give it a try?"
"…"
"Come on, what's the matter? I'll make it easy for you by releasing you from those flame shackles."
As soon as he said that, the fire shackles released themselves from Zeed and set him free. The Dark God set his aim directly for Novadramon and roared angrily.
"How's that? You're free to move now. Go ahead and shoot! Oh… Wait! I get it! Like Atolmdramon, you're better at shooting people behind their backs, right? Okay, that's fine."
Turning his back towards Zeed, Novadramon pointed to his back and taunted the Dark God with jester.
"How's this?"
Despite his urge to eliminate Novadramon and capture the last digicore piece, Zeed ceased his attack and dropped his hand down. This merely caused Novadramon to scoff in disappointment at the Dark God's sudden actions.
"I knew it! You miserable coward! In that case, I'll try it out!"
Novadramon puts up another glass projectile while preparing to launch his deadly attack on Zeed. It was going to be the same technique used against Omega X beforehand.
"Wait! Think about what you're doing!" Zeed slightly pleaded. "You'll die as well!"
"He's right where you want him! Let him have it, Zeed!"
Zeed maintained his sights directly on Zeed while growing underneath his breathe. He wanted nothing more than to call off Novadramon's threat, destroy him and take the last digicore to capture ultimate, universal power.
"Are you serious, Novadramon! Are you planning to die together with me?"
"Absurd! Why should I, Novadramon, go down with you! You're the only one who is going to get smashed into pieces is you! Get set! GO!"
As soon as he said that, Novadramon's projectile expanded further and nearly the inside of the sphere. It exploded with a massive pop and shot a powerful wave of fire energy. The streaks of light flew across the Dark Realm and penetrated through the thick clouds. The entire area started to become rained down by massive heat-like blasts. Anyone with their right mind put up their protective ki shields to protect themselves from the heat blasts.
"NOVADRAMON!" Omega X exclaimed out.
The fate of the captives was unknown at the moment since eyes were directly set on explosion that had occurred earlier on. Novadramon's fate was quite unclear, as was Zeed. It seemed that the Dark God may have already meet his end at the end.
A view of the Dark Realm is displayed with a large fiery dome overlapping at least a great portion of the dark planet itself. The planet trembled under its force and nearly shook it down to its foundations. Then, within seconds, the dome died down and the impact was minimized.
The aftermath of the explosion was shown on the planet itself. It looked as though an atomic bomb was dropped and devastated nearly half of the entire landscape where the heroes were once standing. Fortunately, all of them had taken flight to avoid being caught in the consuming blast.
"Man, that was close!" Max gasped out. "He should have given us warning!"
"Damn, look at the mess he left," X said.
"There's no way anybody could have survived that! Especially that temperature I was feeling from Novadramon!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Remember, it's not over until it's over," Pikkan replied.
"Well, it looks over to me. I don't see or feel those two guys anywhere," Kaiser Greymon disagreed.
The mood was certainly about to change within a matter of a few moments. Suddenly, much to everyone's surprise, the heat sphere came levitating from the heavens and landed on top of a fallen debris. Metalla X was the first to point this out.
"Ugh! Damn! Just how tough is this bastard!" Metalla X growled.
"No, Matt! That's Novadramon!" called out Omega X.
"What! Are you sure!"
"Oh yeah! Novadramon actually did it!"
Omega X takes flight across and calls out for the heat elemental dragon digimon's namesake.
"Hey, Novadramon! You did it! You did it!"
"Heh. Well I'll be damned," Metalla X smirked. "That guy actually got the job done. Who knew?"
"I'm pretty surprised myself. That was a very smart strategy on Novadramon's part," BW stated.
"Well, at least we can say it's finally over," Pikkan said.
"I can't be too sure. That was way too easy," Shintomon sighed in thought. "Why am I still sensing this bad vibe?"
Meanwhile, Omega X landed to where Novadramon was standing. The dragon had his back turned and there was a saddened expression plastered across his face. The warrior wondered what was making Novadramon depressed and slowly approaches him.
"What's wrong, Novadramon? Are you okay?"
Then, what Novadramon said in the next few moments would change the direction of the battle.
…
…
…
"I'm sorry, Taichi…"
Suddenly, the rock hard skin of Novadramon was starting to crack like broken glass. A flash of green, neon light emerged from out of the cracks and then massive black spikes shot out like needles. An angry expression crossed Omega X's face as he knew who was set on emerging. Then, a pair of white limbs popped right out of the sides. Yes, it seemed that the Dark God wasn't done it after all.
"No! It can't be him!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"Impossible!" Max cried out. "No! NOVADRAMON!"
Pushing out with incredible force, Zeed emerged from out of the broken shell and shatters Novadramon's once invincible body. The broken pieces scattered across the ground and reformatted into three familiar bodies. The forms of Mystic Celesta, War Angemon and Ultima X were found laying sprawled. Omega X turns around to see them and gasped. Then, he made eye contact with the almighty Dark God himself.
"It's Zeed!" Omega X growled.
"Hey! Novadramon just split up back into my aunt, my uncle and Davis!"
"That's right, Max. Their life crystals had helped to purify Novadramon and thus were part of him. My guess is that Zeed expelled them out since he no longer had any use for them," Pikkan theorized.
"Either way, this isn't looking good!" BW replied. "Damn! I thought that was a brilliant plan on their part!"
"It just wasn't enough…" X sighed.
"I knew it was too good to be true," Shintomon seethed. "Stay tough, warriors! We're still in this together!"
Flying down to gather the fallen warriors, Metalla X, Gallantmon and Kaiser picked up their bodies. They, along with Omega X, focused their attention solely on the revived Zeed.
"What exactly happened here! It's good that Kari, TK and Davis were freed, but what caused this sudden turnaround! I thought Novadramon had him!" Metalla X wondered.
Zeed lowered his head and faced off with Omega X with a nonchalant grin. There were still pieces of Novadramon's shell plastered across his chest.
"Surprised to see me, Taichi?" Zeed laughed.
"Why, you… Novadramon! What did you do to him!"
"Ah, don't get too upset," Zeed replied. "I'll tell you right now what happened inside those flames."
Switch to Flashback Scene: Inside the Sun Sphere
Deep inside Novadramon's sun sphere, the pair faced off and it looked as though Novadramon had victory in his grasp. In fact, he did have victory in his grasp if he had gotten the job done sooner. Alas, he wasted precious time.
"Are you planning to die with me?" Zeed exclaimed
"Absurd! Why should I go down with you?" Novadramon replied. "You're the only one who's going to be smashed into little pieces! Get ready! GO!"
"I see. Your body will be unaffected, huh? In that case, your body is mine!"
With that said, Zeed instantly powered up his six digicores and they emitted a set of green auras flashing. A low humming sound was heard from the glowing orbs as they started to emerge right out of Zeed's body. They flew across, penetrated through Novadramon's glass shield and plastered all over his body. The fire dragon was shocked by this sudden surprise attack and attempted to rip the orbs out of his body.
"What are you doing! What's the meaning of this!"
As the orbs pushed deeper into Novadramon's body, Zeed laughed at his adversary and held his arms out in victory.
"Ha! You lose, Novadramon! Looks like I'll be alive after all!"
Then, the Dark God's body exploded into a cloud of dust and there was nothing left of him. Novadramon screamed out just as his sun sphere detonated like a time bomb. That was the point where everyone had thought Novadramon had defeated Zeed. Alas, it was the other way around. The Dark God has lived on.
End of Flashback
Laughing out like a madman, Zeed slowly removed the shell pieces plastered across his chest.
"Do you understand? At the moment of the explosion, I took over his body! Now, take a good glimpse at this! One last surprise for you!"
With that said, Zeed removed one last piece from the right corner of his chest. Displayed in its full glory was the digicore that once made Novadramon. It was now in Zeed's possession. The Dark God was finally at full power and ready to destroy everything in his path.
"So, what do you think, warriors! I have truly become invincible! The title of 'God' can finally live up its true name! You insects are no longer a threat to me. That includes even you, Taichi! The Digi-Mazoku shall fall before the might of me! Ha! Ha!"
"That monster! He's killed enough people already! When is this going to stop!" Max cried. "First Lady Moinanea, then my mom, then Keke, then all of my friends, Takuya's friends, then Dorothy and now Novadramon?"
"There isn't we can do as we currently are with our powers. I'm afraid even Taichi will not have enough to defeat the Dark God," Shintomon sighed.
"Don't say that! My dad will find a way!"
"Max! Let's get serious here! Your father is already losing as it is! We've never had to face a real 'God' before and all our past enemies are weaklings compared to this guy!"
"Damn! This can't be happening!" cursed Gallantmon. "It can't end like this…"
"Tai…? We should really come up with a new strategy, cause we really need it," Kaiser Greymon suggested.
"No…"
Everyone gasped at the comment made by Omega X. The warrior of courage stepped up in defiance against Zeed and pointed out towards him. He wasn't ready to become intimidated by the Dark God, even if it killed him.
"I don't care how strong you've gotten, Zeed! I admit our powers don't compare now, but… NONE OF THAT IS GOING TO MAKE A BIT OF A DIFFERENCE!"
"Ha! What are you going to do about it!"
"I'll show you!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X teleports across using his Time Warp technique. The Dark Seed managed to stand his ground and remained calm as ever. The warrior quickly reappears in front of Zeed and lands a right hand cross jab at the Dark God's face. The punch did not damage; it didn't even make Zeed flinch. He retaliates with a right hand punch of his own and sends Omega X flying across the battlefield.
Landing across a pile of debris, Omega X prevents his fall and bounces off from the debris wall. He cupped his hands to the side and prepared to launch another Terra Beam.
"TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERAAAAAAAAAAA-"
"Ha! Don't you ever get tired of using that repetitive attack, Taichi?" Zeed laughed.
"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!"
"Try this one for size! CHRONO PARADOX!"
Zeed launches out a pair of energy beams from both of his hands and condensed them together into one massive blast. He sends it directly at Omega X's Terra Beam and immediately cancels it out right on the spot. Both attacks had cancelled each other out and this did not suite well for Omega X. His last ditch effort was crushed before his very own eyes.
"I'm not finished yet!"
With a snap of his fingers, a portal opened up from where the attacks had cancelled each other out. Zeed's very own attack had returned and quickly struck Omega X head on. The warrior's screams echoed across the battlefield while Zeed laughed out loud like a madman possessed.
"You two stay here!" Metalla X ordered Gallantmon and Kaiser Greymon. "Tai! I'm coming!"
Quickly powering up a bright aura, Metalla X launches himself across the battlefield. He plunges through the cloud debris in search for his fallen comrade. He barely managed to sense Omega X's ki and found him rising out of a pile of rock debris.
Zeed levitated down on the buried piles and laughed to himself at the satisfaction of his work. Examining his body, he could feel his infinite power already growing at an extraordinary rate.
"At this rate, I won't even need Ichijouji's body to absorb. This is perfect! By taking back the last digicore, I am at last complete! I have truly reached the God-like status. A god of destruction! Nobody in this world, the four Digital Worlds, the Center Digi-Universe or even the Real World can stop me! Everything will be soon laid to waste by my negative power! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
As the Dark God billowed out in laughter, Metalla X emerged out with Omega X. They stared off at Zeed with defiant looks across their faces. If somebody had told them the universe would be destroyed, they wouldn't hesitate at the opportunity to prevent that maniac from carrying out that threat. In this case scenario, Zeed was no longer bluffing and was hell bent on carrying out that threat as a promise. The situation officially became grim and darker times were soon on the horizon.
"Damn it all… It can't end like this," Omega X thought.
Outside Demon's Cavern. 9:30 P.M.
Even the observers outside the Demon's Cavern back on earth paled at the thought of Zeed reaching the real world. Gosenzomon and Buddamon gathered around the viewing orb in worry. Even Mari was taken back by the Dark God's presence.
"Wow, this isn't looking good. Maybe I should be getting back to my dimension," Mari gulped.
"I can't believe they're losing!" Buddamon exclaimed. "Even Lord Shintomon is in peril."
"It-It's hopeless now," Gosenzomon sighed depressingly.
"It's hopeless! Gosenzomon-sama, with all due respect if Taichi and the remaining fighters lose like this, what in the digi-name will happen?"
"Buddamon! Don't tell me you don't even know the possibilities! You're the Supreme Guardian's assistant! You're supposed to know what would be the consequences if a power like this ever reached his full potential!"
"My apologies, sire."
"If Zeed the Dark God is not defeated, and Azulongmon's digicores are not decontaminated, then the negative energy overflowing from them will envelop the entire four Digital Realms, and they will reach as far as the Central Digi-verse itself and eventually the whole Earth. Everything will be polluted and turned into wastelands. Life across both the digital worlds and the human realm will no longer exist. Zeed doesn't even have to lift his little finger for this pollution to spread. Our worlds and the real world will soon begin to rot and decay at an accelerated rate. Life itself becomes extinct with our worlds growing dark and cold. Then, at some point, they will explode. Earth itself will detonate and the pollution will spread outward across time and space. Planet after planet will fall in an endless domino effect of mass destruction."
"If that's the case, in the Central Digiverse, that pollution will spread to our realm and Huanlongmon's kingdom! Everyone is at peril!" Buddamon exclaimed.
"Will this effect my dimension?" Mari asked.
"Unfortunately, Mari. Yes. As I said, time and space itself will eventually be effected. Every human time period will be laid to waste. Zeed's power has grown beyond anything I can even comprehend. There will be no future set in stone as long as Zeed remains alive. It's only a matter of time."
"No, not this way," Mari whispered to herself. "My family… Saitou-san never told me any of this would happen."
"If that's the case, then we had better run away!" Black Gatomon suggested.
"You coward! How could you even think about such a selfish act!" Arukenimon growled.
"Just take it from me, Black Gatomon! I'll have Zeed begging when I stop him!" Mummymon spoke out in dramatic fashion. "Just let me at him! I'll make him regret for threatening our universes and our futures! I have plans for my future! I helped to stop Virus and D-Reaper! This won't be any different! Move over everyone, the champ is back in action!"
"Well, at least the doofus has more guts," Buddamon sighed.
"In any case, Taichi. Warriors. What more can you do? You've done everything you could. I really wish the Sovereigns and Holy Beast were given jurisdiction to use their digicores, but only Azulongmon has that power. But he too is losing power and will die along with the digicores. Unless… Wait! Aren't the black digicores active! I thought Lady Moinanea no longer wanted to put them to use anymore. There just maybe one last hope…"
While he had a plan in mind, the elder set his eyes back on the viewing orb. It displayed a full view of Zeed slowly approaching the digital warriors for one final showdown.
The Dark Realm. 9:32 P.M.
"Now then, sit still and let me kill you, fellows," Zeed chuckled.
"Ha! Don't be ridiculous! We're finished yet!" Metalla X growled.
"Damn right! We're still standing and all you've been is all talk!" Kaiser Greymon retorted. "Where is this God-like power? How come you haven't finished us off yet?"
"Well, that can be arranged," the Dark God replied. "You shouldn't have opened your big mouth."
"Smooth move, Takuya," Gallantmon sighed.
"Hey! Don't blame him! I would say the same thing, too!" Omega X exclaimed.
"No! This can't be the end!" BW growled. "It's going to suck if I die again…"
"I don't know about you, but I'm not prepared to die," Pikkan stated. "We're still standing and willing to fight!"
"Be realistic, Pikkan. Most of our guys are running low on energy and it's a miracle they are even still standing! Kari, TK and Davis are all unconscious," X reminded the Alterian. "Even you two, Shintomon, Max and myself won't make a difference. Zeed will simply swat us aside like insects."
"He's right. It's best we stand down and let the others handle this," Shintomon said. "Without Lady Moinanea, I have lost my will to fight…"
"You guys are quitting already! Just like that!" Max exclaimed. "I can't believe you! X! I thought you were me! The real me would never throw in the towel!"
"Max, just take a look at the situation in hand! Even you don't stand a chance!"
"Maybe so, but I'm not about to stand down. Zeed's power may surpass us, but we possess qualities he will never have: heart and determination. My dad is tells me that a 'Kamiya never quits!'."
Upon hearing that, Omega X turns around and smiles over to his courageous son. Even at such a tender age, the boy possessed courageous qualities that even Tai could never hope to wonder.
"My mom wants what is best for me, but what I really want is to offer my help to my father to defeat this monster! Zeed threatens our hopes and our dreams for a bright future. I want to become as strong as my father so I can defend those that I love. If my mom and Keke were here, they'd agree with me. I know my dad would agree with me! Which is why I'm going to interject myself into this fight!"
"WHAT!" everyone, including Omega X, exclaimed.
"Max! Don't do it! You're only going to get yourself killed!" X attempted to restrain the boy.
"I don't care if I die! Dorothy gave her own life to ensure my dad and the others beat this guy. If I have to do the same, then so be it!"
Zeed stopped his march while hearing Max berating out to nearly the whole team. A wicked smile formed across the Dark God's face. Max had caught his interest. An idea immediately popped up in the Dark God's mind.
"So what are you dawdling for boy? Did you suddenly have to urge to become a man and stand up a being with indescribable strength? You think you one-up me, the Dark Time God?" Zeed taunted the boy. "Since your father and his comrades are running low on energy, perhaps you would like to be the next causality on the list."
As soon as he said that, everyone paused and felt their blood chill. Omega X growled deeply and tightened his fists. If there was anything that pissed him off more, it was a maniac threatening to kill his family. In this case, it would be his own son.
"NO! HE COULDN'T! NOT MAX!"
However, Max was not afraid. Ok, his feet were trembling but he was not afraid to confront the Dark God.
"Zeed! I don't care how powerful you've become! Taking away my love ones… I've grown to hate you more than any other enemy we've encountered this past year. It's been quite the roller coaster and it all comes down to you."
Flying across the skies, Max encircled Zeed with a look of determination.
"You sicken me, Zeed. I maybe a kid, but even I know a heartless monster when I see it. All of my friends and family you've absorbed. You haven't gotten my dad because he can't afford to die again. Keke's dad already died twice. Me? Well, it my time comes then I have no regrets. So, do what you like, Zeed. I'm your next opponent and I intend to defeat you with everything in my fiber! HA!"
Instantly powering up a bright aura, Max's face twisted with an angry scowl. He was ready to put his own life at stake and avenge his loved ones. Omega X quickly sits up and takes flight after his son.
"MAX! DON'T!"
"Don't do it, Max! You're making a mistake!" everyone else cried out.
However, the boy wasn't about to stop his trek and proceeded onward to attack Zeed. A twisted smile forms across the Dark God's face.
"MAX! GET AWAY!" Omega X cried out.
There was a sudden slow motion occurring at this very moment. Everyone's voice billowed out for Max to seize his gallant change, but the boy refused to stop. He was continued onward with a determined glare. Zeed merely smirked and pointed the boy with a finger. Then, came the most unexpected moment Omega X would never have seen coming.
…
…
…
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
…
…
…
The energy blast came shooting out from Zeed's finger and plunged through Max's torso. Everyone, including Omega X, gasped in utter disbelief. Omega X launched himself across and caught Max in his arms. The boy never even had a chance to scream as a hole was created through his torso and blood poured from the deep wound. The warriors all gathered together around Omega X. The warrior of courage cradled the boy in his arms.
"NO! MAX!" X exclaimed. "This can't be… Not, Max!"
"That bastard actually did it!" Metalla X growled. "Tai… I'm sorry…"
Not answering to anyone, Omega X looks down at his son with tears already swelling up in his eyes. The boy slowly moved about and looked up at his Mazoku father.
"Da… daddy?"
"Max?"
"I'm sorry… I tried to be brave just like you, but… it wasn't enough… I'll never get as strong as you… since I'm already dying as it is…"
"Max, no!"
"I'll be sure to tell mom and Keke you love them…" Max chuckled with tears forming in his eyes. "Dad… you… can't give up… Stop this monster… before he destroys everything… we protect… Protect all life and stop this… nightmare…"
"Max…"
"I… love… you… dad…"
With that said, the boy let out a final gasp and his head drops to the side. Omega X watched as the boy's body exploded into data. A few tears emerged from the data and plopped down to where Omega X kneeled. Zeed took this opportunity and absorbed Max's data into his being. The Dark God laughed out heartily at his handiwork and looks up towards the tunnel. It was the same tunnel that the warriors used to enter the Dark Realm. He had set his sights directly towards it and set about his plan to spread his negative energy to the human realm.
"Well, I leave you warriors to mourn the loss of yet another loved one. Taichi, this is your own fault. Had you not stopped your boy in time, he most likely would have been spared. Alas, you let another soul die. Now watch as I reach your precious human world and spread my negative energy! With my abilities to warp time and space, that barrier won't even stop me! Now, observe as I rip open a hole into your world!"
As soon as he said that, the digicores across Zeed's chest lit up simultaneously. They directly sent an array of energy blasts and pierced through the fabric in between the Dark Realm and the human world. The warriors, except Omega X, looked across to find a view of Odaiba in perfect view.
"No! He's managed to rip a hole through the fabric of time and space into our world!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"He didn't even have to cross through the tunnel that was opened up!" Gallantmon gasped.
"Not good," muttered Kaiser Greymon.
"Once he enters the real world, he will spread his negative energy and it will be the end of all humanity. Your universe will eventually collapse," Shintomon warned the Digital warriors.
"Tai! You have to wake up! Max, Sora, Dorothy and everyone else can't be avenged if you don't get off your feet!" X exclaimed. "Max was willing to stake his own life! That was his main goal! He wanted to motivate you to fight at your best!"
Still shaken from the shocking events, Omega X stared off into space. X grabbed the warrior and punched him across the face. Omega X reeled back and immediately came back to reality.
"WAKE UP, TAICHI KAMIYA! Our worlds will cease to exist if we let this dirt bag carry on with his destruction! Speaking for and as Max, father! Show some balls!"
"X…"
"That's it! What are you going to do now?"
"Continue fighting and stopping this bastard at all costs! Max. Sora. Everyone. I will continue to fight on for you!"
"Ha! So you actually still have some fight left in you, Taichi? How amusing! Now, what do you think? This seems appropriate for our final battle to determine the fate of two universes. But, it's only a matter of time before the Synisters emerge to help accelerate the destructive process."
"They won't even bother showing up since it's only down you and us," Omega X replied in defiance. "I maybe running low on energy, but I won't give up. Let this be our final battle! ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
Immediately stepping out into a fighting stance, Omega X and his comrades stood their ground with Zeed standing out in front of the broken dimensional fabric. Not only would they avenge Max, but prevent the Dark God from carrying out his destructive desires.
Ripping a hole through the dimension fabric between the Dark Realm and the human realm, Zeed has effortlessly swatted every offensive the Digital warriors could ever muster up. Casualities have already mounted. Five of the Legendary Warriors. Dorothy. Novadramon. Now even little Max Kamiya have all suffered the wrath of the Dark God. There is no stopping this universal threat. Every Holy Beast, Sovereign, Holy Angel and Digi-Destined prepare for the worst to come. If Zeed spreads his negative energy now, the two universes will collapse and nothing will be left. Are the warriors really destined to die, one after the other? Is there anything left for Taichi and the others to do before time runs out? What did Gosenzomon have in mind when he mentioned the Black Digicores? Could those be the last secret resort to ensure Zeed's defeat? Taichi! It's up to you and your friends! Don't lose hope!

Omega X/Tai: Hey, everyone! It's me, Tai! It all comes down to the final battle to determine the fate of two universes. One real and the other digital. The human race and the digimon are both at risk of total extinction. Zeed has grown more powerful than any enemy we've faced before. He has truly ascended into the level of a god, but I'm not going to lose hope! We, the Digi-Destined, along with the Tamers and the Legendary Warriors! We stand united against this threat!
Max (in spirit): Father! There is a hope within this great darkness.
Omega X: How? We've tried everything. I doubt even the Life Bomb will work.
Seraphimon: That is where we step in. We shall use the Black Digicores to revive Lady Moinanea. If our assumption is correct, then the true Goddess that lies dormant within her will be reawakened. She will give you the necessary power boost needed to defeat the Dark God.
Zeed: Controlling time and space is an easy task! Once my negative energy pollutes and destroys these two pathetic worlds, I'll simply move on to spread my energy further and create chaos throughout time itself.
Omega X: Goddess Moinanea! People and digimon alike! Send me your energy!
Metalla X: Why is he even attempting a Life Bomb! Even our offense is not slowing this bastard down!
Goddess Moinanea: I can assure you this will not be a Life Bomb. Now, Taichi! Absorb the Life Bomb and unite with your friends!
Omega X: I can feel the souls of everyone of my friends killed by Zeed. They, along with every other ally shall become one! We, together, will take a stand and defeat Zeed!
Goddess Moinanea: There will only be room for one omnipotent entity to bring order to the Digital Universe, Millenniumon. It will not be you!
Digi-Destined/Tamers/Legendary Warriors/Digital Warriors: UNITY FUSION SHINKA! HA!
Zeed: Who do they call you!
Voice: The next episode is entitled…
The Unification of the Chosen Children! The Final Miracle, Galactic X Wields his Gallantry!
Voice: In the name of life and the protection of the two universes, we, Galactic X have pierce through your darkness with furious anger!
Whew, I think it's safe to assume that I've written possibility the longest chapter in the Digimon Fusion series! Even longer than my previous record breakers! I hope to break the record even further with the next chapter. So what do you think of Galactic X? I feel its better and less 'digimon' of a name. :D
I hope I made Zeed a convincing villain for you all to hate. If you guys already hate him, then I did a good job with him. Now, we move on with the final battle. The ONE that decides all! 'Everything that has a beginning has an end.' The end is drawing near for the series and I want to look back to everything that has taken place over the years within the series' timeline. smirks
Now, it's up to you readers. What do you think will happen in the final battle? How will our unified heroes defeat their strongest enemy? Better yet, don't speculate. Stay in suspense. I want the final battle to be an eye-opener. :D Better yet, if you would like to submit any alternate universes of your own to offer energy to Omega X for Galactic X's emergence, then do so! I'll even give credit!
Well, I leave you all now. I hope to get the next chapter up sooner than possible, but there are detractions that will do anything to prevent me from reaching my goal. I won't give up. I promise you that. Peace out and be sure to check out for any updates. Until then, I'm out!

Kaiser X, Himo Saitou, Sonja, Virus, and Burizalor are characters I've created for this story.
Well, it's all come down to this, readers. The final battle that decides everything within our universe. The forces of good unite to battle the wrath of the wicked Dark God. All other battles have been nothing more than child's play. It's been a fun ride for these last four years and I'd like to thank each of you for supporting my series. Hopefully, after this and the epilogue, it will be remembered as a true legacy.
Before I start, I want to point out something about your profile Dark Qiviut. You acknowledged that my D-Fusion stories were great and complex. I appreciate being recognized, but I couldn't help but notice Davis bashing. Ok, where in my stories do I bash this guy? Heck, Davis is one my favorite Adventure/Zero Two characters. Why would I bash a favorite of mine? That doesn't make any sense. Wait, are you talking about when he gets talked down by other characters or gets beaten up by Yolei or his own wife, Sonja? I hardly call that bashing. I see it more as a comedy routine. Davis is a funny guy and I like to use him in many hilarious situations.
If I bashed/hated Davis, he wouldn't have gained THREE new evolutions in D-Frontier (MegaVeemon, Saber Veemon and Ultima X) nor would he have defeated many top villains (Super Artificial Jax, Lichidramon/Necromon and Burizalor). If Davis getting beaten up by Yolei or Sonja, or getting shafted for not getting Kari is bashing, then I'm sorry. I truly am, even though Davis IS one of my favorite characters. Heck, I am planning on writing a Daikari soon, which takes an alternate turn within my D-Fusion series. Other than that, I thank you for supporting my D-Fusion series and I hope you will enjoy this final battle. It will be something to be remembered forever. ((wink))

With that said, I will step aside and let you guys enjoy this epic final battle. There's nothing else left for me to say. In the famous words of Mills Lane: LET'S GET IT ON!
Last time, as Himo Saitou was defeated by the Digi-Mazoku Omega X, a new arisen out of Monodramon! Zeed had finally revealed himself after years of slumber! He absorbed six of the seven digicore pieces, Ken's Dark Spore, the souls of nearly every villain defeated and the data of the Digi-Destined he had slain. The remaining attempted to avenge their fallen comrades but to no avail. Dorothy had fallen. Davis, TK and Kari were converted to dark warriors until they were deleted by Omega X! The warrior absorbed their data, swallowed the seventh digicore piece and released Novadramon.
The fire elemental dragon returned and plotted to avenge his death at the hands of Atolmdramon! He attempted one last shot at the evil Dark God himself!
"NOVA BURNING SPIRIT!"
"NOVADRAMON!"
…
"Novadramon? Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, Taichi…"
"HA! Surprised to see me, Taichi?"
To everyone's surprise, Zeed even took the life of the littlest warrior of the bunch. Max was struck down. Omega X held his dying son in his arms before hearing words of encouragement from the brave hearted boy.
"Dad you can't… give up… Stop this monster… before he destroys everything… we protect… Protect all life and stop this… nightmare…"
With those heartfelt words said, Max dispersed and became absorbed into Zeed along with the digicore that created the defeated Novadramon. Tai felt outraged and would vow to avenge the loss of his loved ones.
"I maybe running low on energy, but I won't give up. Let this be our final battle. ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
With the causalities set to mount and the worlds at stake, can the Digital warriors make a comeback in their struggle against the final enemy? Or will Zeed come out triumphant and destroy everything within the universe? There's only one way to find out…

The Unification of the Chosen Children! The Final Miracle, Galactic X Wields his Gallantry!
? The Center of the Four Digital Realms
There was a hard, monstrous growl thundering from within the temple palace of the Fifth Sovereign digimon. The four spirit guides and Duane the Gatekeeper stepped aside as Huanlongmon lowers his head to meet the gaze of his viewing orb. Appearing through the orb was a picture perfect view of Zeed facing off with the remaining Digital warriors.
Thus far, it came down to Omega X, Metalla X, Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon, Pikkan and BW. Sitting along the sidelines were X and Shintomon. Three of the warriors were currently in a state of unconsciousness. The trio was none other than Ultima X, War Angemon and Mystic Celesta. Their odds were not looking so great at the moment. Heck, their chances of victory are lower than slim. They have no chance at all.
Once assimilating the seven digicore pieces belonging to Azulongmon, Zeed has already gained a God-like status power. He also holds in his grasp the data of every warrior he's absorbed, Ryo and Monodramon, the Dark Spore extracted out of the deceased Ken Ichijouji and the souls of nearly every defeated enemy of the past. He indeed lived up to the name of a 'God', because that is exactly what he has become. Every Sovereign, Holy Beast, Celestial Angel and Supreme Guardian were all at risk of losing everything they worked hard to achieve.
For Huanlongmon, his kingdom will soon cease to exist if Zeed defeats the warriors now. The DW-STF would too fall before the powerful monster.
Lowering his head in shame, Huanlongmon turns a motion towards the four spirit guides. Each one had a look of worry. The beast's eyes were saddened and unhopeful as if he had given up faith in the warriors. However, Keke broke up the silent treatment as she spoke out to the mighty dragon sovereign.
"Lord Huanlongmon! Please, you must allow us to pass through into the living world! Haven't we done enough errand work for you? We've done our best to not meddle with the Digi-Destined's progress. It's been far too long of a wait! At this rate, they won't even stand a chance against the Dark God," Keke pleaded. "For god sakes! David and our younger counterparts have already been slain! If we don't go out there now, then X will suffer the same fate! Please, I implore you!"
Sam had seen enough of the girl venting out her frustrations out on the Holy Beast. He steps forward and cleared his throat defiantly at him.
"You heard her, Huanlongmon! I'm sick of sitting back and doing nothing! We've already seen enough death as it is! Keke just lost her mother, her child counterpart and Max! I just lost my mom and father! You haven't even considered our feelings! You've been busy relying upon the DW-STF to do your dirty work! I'm through with this! You set us free or we take action by force!" Sam demanded.
As if he were ignoring their pleas, Huanlongmon turned away towards the opposite direction and placed a clawed hand over a blanket-covered capsule.
"Don't you turn your back on us, pal!" Tike growled. "We demand you set us free and allow us to help our friends!"
"He's right! We're sick of playing your little errand kids!" Kara snapped.
However, Duane was quick to pick up on what Huanlongmon was placing a hand over. He hunched down to find what appeared to be a human boy inside the capsule. The children stopped to wonder what Huanlongmon was actually planning. Their questions would now be answered as he unveiled the blanket and revealed a glass hyper sleep capsule, similar to the ones used in the Alien movies. The children stopped as they gazed upon inside the capsule. There was a boy laying inside with a red sleeveless jacket with a fire symbol embedded at the center. Under the jacket is a black undershirt with a matching color pants and boots. His hair was brown while standing straight up with a lick of hair across his face. Attached to his right arm looked like a D-Tector, similar to the ones used by the Legendary Warriors.
The children gasped and realized who this boy actually was. Huanlongmon was going to risk unleashing this secret weapon never used before.
"Huanlongmon! Don't tell you're… you're going to release him?" Keke asked.
"The last he was unleashed, his power was much too radical to control!" Sam warned the sovereign.
"True, but remaining in long dormancy has tamed the wild inferno within this boy. I have helped to preserve his power. X asked me to watch over him until an emergency was necessary. Now, it would seem is the perfect time. Children. I thank you for everything you've helped me with. Every chore and assignment I have given you. Now I return the favor. I will allow you to take part in this battle."
This stunning revelation had never made the children any happier. Now, after all long wait, they would finally return back into battle. These children were known as the D3s from another alternate dimension and their leader was none other than Max Kamiya.
"HELL YES!" Tike and Kara cheered happily. "HALLELUJAH!"
"It's about time!" Sam exclaimed.
"Thank you very much, Lord Huanlongmon! You won't regret this!"
"I will also return to you powers that you once proudly possessed. The true power of the Digital Ascendants."
With that said, the dragon sovereign lowered his head and allowed a digicore from his body to levitate down at the center. The four children gathered around and placed their hands over the orb. In a matter of seconds, the orb emitted a golden aura and coursed through each of the children's bodies. Slowly, but surely their ascendant powers were becoming replenished with indescribable powers.
"Yes! I can feel the power!" Tike laughed.
"With your ascendant powers restored, even you four will not be enough to topple Zeed as he is now. That is why I will be releasing the boy possessing the Forbidden Spirit. But you do not have to worry about his radical power. For I was able to tame the beast within the boy. He will be a valuable asset for your cause, D3s."
"Now that's more like it!" Keke giggled. "This is what I've been waiting for!"
"I don't know about you, but I'm really excited!" Sam replied.
Gesturing his head towards Duane, Huanlongmon gave a signal to Duane to activate the capsule. A large puff of smoke emerged out from the open capsule. The boy started to move about and opened his eyes to reveal a pair of green eyes. He sits up and looks around the room while holding his head.
"Whoa… How long have I been asleep for?"
"Longer than I can remember," Duane replied.
"Human with the Forbidden Spirit, or what your friends call you, Tyler. Welcome back to the real world. How was your long sleep?"
"Refreshing, but I feel much better."
"Tyler. We've got big problems," Keke said. "Our friends and families of this dimension are battling this really powerful monster. There's a slim chance they will come out of this alive."
"A powerful monster, huh? Is it stronger than any of the enemies we've fought from our universe?" Tyler asked. "Hold that thought. I'm already picking up on his guy's energy signal. My gosh! I can also feel… TAKUYA!"
"That's right. Takuya and everyone else are out there as we speak," Sam answered.
"And Zoe! What about her!"
As soon as Tyler mentioned the girl's name, everyone within the room was silent and lowered their heads with sad expressions. The boy could tell from the mood within the room and no longer could feel out Zoe.
"No! You mean he got Zoe, too! This monster is going to pay! He will feel the wrath of the INFERNO!"
Clenching his fists tightly, Tyler's hands were flaring up with fire-like auras. The children took notice of this and slightly stepped away from Tyler's direction. He calmly lets out a sigh and steps out of the capsule.
"All right, everyone. Since you four already have your ascendant powers back, what do you say we show this creep not to mess with our loved ones?" Tyler gave them a calm smile.
"Yeah! Let's do this!" Keke nodded in agreement.
"As I am right now, I don't think my powers will be enough to defeat this Zeed character. But, I'm not going down without a fight," Tyler said. "If you guys are with me, then you will not hesitate to follow me out!"
"You don't have to tell us twice. This Zeed's ass is grass," Kara snorted.
"Just a moment, warriors," Huanlongmon spoke out.
Before the D3 warriors started to fly out of the temple, Huanlongmon lowered his head and released two small objects from out of another digicores. The two objects flew out and materialized in Keke's hands. One was a tiny golden orb and the other looked like a Chinese Shenlong dragon artifact with the Crest of Courage embedded on it.
"What are these for, Lord Huanlongmon?" Keke asked.
"You must give those to X. Perhaps, he, too, can be given back his old ascendant powers. You must hurry. Zeed is already in the real world as we speak! He's managed to cut through the dimensional barrier between the two worlds!"
"Well, you heard him, guys," Sam said. "Tyler, you ready to set this one out?"
"You bet! I'm not about to let this maniac get away with the crimes he's committed! Let's move!"
"The D3s are back in action!" the children call out in unison.
As soon as they shouted out, each child flew out one by one through the temple roof. Tyler was the last one to leave while leaving a fire-blazing trail behind. The children found themselves flying through the heavens until they came across a portal doorway ultimately leading them through a passage directly to the human realm.
"Hang in there, everyone. X. Help is on the way," Keke thought.
Huanlongmon and Duane watched the departure of the valiant, young warriors. A tear shed across the sovereign's right eye as he was forced to witness the children fearlessly take a course of action that could cost them their lives.
"Was it wise to send those kids?"
"There was no other way. I just couldn't let them stand there to watch anymore causalities mount. They have done everything I ever asked for them and never repaid the favor. I think this is the biggest gratitude I have ever given my employees. I just hope they and the boy with the Forbidden Spirit will even the odds out for Taichi and the others."
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Tyler's parents Takuya and Zoe from another universe?"
"Yes. He was born from the ones named Takuya Kanabara and Izumi 'Zoe' Orimoto. He eventually ascended into a powerful spirit warrior identified as Infernomon. With the rage of the inferno coursing his veins, only few have challenged his power and survived. Zeed will surely be aware of his presence."
"I see… I just hope you're right about these kids evening the odds, because right now. Things just aren't looking great for our side."
"Good luck, D3s. I leave the rest up to faith now."
Pseudo-Space Between the Human Realm and the Dark Realm. 9:32 P.M.
Meanwhile, deep within the dark pseudo-space between the worlds, half of the DW-STF journeyed through the same passage used by the Digital warriors previously. Omegamon X lead his team, consisting of Rosemon X, Magnamon X, Alforce V-Dramon X and Dukemon X through. They were digimon on a mission while seeking out Zeed's increasing power.
The general of the team was the first to sense not just Zeed's power but every other warrior. He couldn't believe that even the Digi-Mazoku managed to surpass him greatly. He nearly felt that he was way over his head attempting a foolish attempt such as this.
However, Omegamon X no longer showed any regrets and continued onward with his subordinates tagging along behind him.
"Sir! Are you picking up on the Dark God's ki!" Magnamon X exclaimed. "Just how much stronger he will become?"
"At this point, there's no telling but he will eventually become a threat to this universe in a matter of minutes. A monster with this sheer magnitude doesn't even have to lift a finger to destroy everything in his surroundings. He could lay waste to everything within this dimension with a single thought if he chooses so."
"There's no way we'll be able to topple a power that great!" Rosemon X gasped. "No offense, sir, but we're getting way over our heads in this situation."
"I understand, but I'm a soldier built for combat. I've been training my entire digital life cycle and I'm not about to let a monster with this sheer power attempt to destroy everything we digimon and humans worked hard to protect! We shall aid the Digital warriors to the very end!"
"Sir, I couldn't agree more!" Alforce V-Dramon X responded. "We are the Digital World Special Task Force after all!"
"Do you really have to repeat that every time?" asked Dukemon X. "Anyway, general. We're already going through the tunnel's end!"
"I can see that! Plus, the power emitting from Zeed is very obvious! There's no time to lose, soldiers! In the name of Huanlongmon-sama, justice will be SERVED!"
Bellowing out a victory cry, the DW-STF team each flared up bright auras and set off through the tunnel's end. They passed through and actually made it through into the Dark Realm. Omegamon X looks across while fascinated by the Dark Realm's ominous yet dangerous world.
"So, we've finally made it through into the Dark Realm? This is the world where the Dark God and many viral types reside for the past few thousand Millennia?" Omegamon X whispered.
"Sir! Look down there! It's the Warrior of Courage and his allies!" Magnamon X pointed out.
Looking down towards the area where the dimension was sliced through, he found Zeed standing at the center with his body flaring up with dark ki. Beyond the Dark God's stand was a view of Odaiba district itself. A perplexed look of shock came across Omegamon X's face.
"General! The Dark God has managed to rip through the dimensional fabric into the human world! He didn't even have to cross through the tunnel!" Dukemon X shouted.
"I can see that and we shouldn't be surprised. This is the Dark God we are talking about. His powers have become reality-warping. It's only a matter of time before he causes all of time and space within this universe to collapse."
"Then, what are we doing dawdling here for! I say we go down there and lend those warriors a hand!" Magnamon X exclaimed.
"Agreed. We've already reached a point of no return. Don't you agree, general?" asked Rosemon X.
"Soldiers. This is it. We either die with our weapons between our legs or we make a difference by taking part in this important battle, which will be remembered for all time. Let us go out and establish the name of the DW-STF as legends! FULL FORCE! ATTACK!"
Unleashing yet another battle cry, the DW-STF flew down from the heavens and set off down to aid the warriors in their final confrontation with the ultimate evil. Could even Omegamon X and his forces intervene to make any kind of difference? Will they be enough to tip the favor to Omega X and his comrades? Only time would tell in a short few moments.
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Realm
Setting his eyes on the battle that was soon to be at hand, Gennai watched in anticipation with his hands clasped together. He prayed like never before. Azulongmon was behind him with parts of his majestic body already starting to undergo a deletion process. He was dying and if his digicores were not purified soon, then his fate will very well become sealed.
"Warriors. Stay strong. You cannot let Zeed win. Failure is not an option, but what final miracle could we even count on? The Dark God's power has exceeded every other villain we've come to pass. If only we still had the digicores!"
Just then, a voice spoke out through Gennai's mind and his voice sounded very familiar. It was the voice of an elder with an accent tone.
"Hello, there! This is Gennai, I presume?"
"Yes, this is him! Wait… Gosenzomon!"
"Ha! Already figured out it was me, Gennai? You're hearing must be off even though you are not an old geezer like I am now."
"What's on your mind? I hope you have a clue of what we can do to help Tai and the others?"
"Actually, I do have a plan and it deals with the black digicores."
"The black digicores? I thought Lady Moinanea had made it clear to never use their dangerous power again."
"Well, I wasn't actually planning to make a wish out of them. I merely want to become convinced if we can use them as an alternate power source to reawaken Lady Moinanea."
"But, she has died."
"Ah, but that's what you think. If my assumptions are correct, then there is a chance to resurrect the Goddess within her."
"The Goddess…?"
"Yes, but listen up. I will require your assistance and cooperation, Gennai. This plan has to work or all will be lost."
"Understood."
Before answering back, Gennai set his eyes directly back on the viewing orb and watches Zeed walking across the battlefield between the torn dimensional fabrics. He turns away and immediately responds back telepathically to the elder Supreme Guardian.
"Ok, I'm all ears, Gosenzomon. What do you have in mind?"
Rainbow Bridge 9:34 P.M.
Immediately picking up the intense amount of ki entering the real world, the digimon turned towards the other side of Rainbow Bridge. Piximon flew across and noticed a massive hole widening. The dimensional fabric had already been sliced through by Zeed's power. The Dark God has made his presence felt in the real world.
"Piximon! Are you feeling this? It's what we feared," Centaurmon said.
"Damn! I knew he would be strong, but this is insane!" Ogremon exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm feeling his intense power, my friend," Piximon nodded. "The human world is indeed past the red alert stage. However, I'm confident. I can also feel out Taichi and the others. They're already dead set on preventing the Dark God from entering their world."
"But, you have to ask yourself how long they are even going to last," Andromon sighed. "From my sensors, their energy levels are depleting from every blow Zeed is delivering to them."
"It's only going to get worse from here," Metal Seadramon nodded.
"So, are we going to at least help them?" Michael asked. "I mean we're standing here and already doubting their chances."
"Even us together won't make a difference, but we will remain on the sidelines as a last line of defense. I'm confident Taichi and the others will do everything they can to prevent this evil from destroying our worlds," Piximon said. "They haven't come this far just to fail… Burizalor. Virus. D-Reaper. Himo Saitou. Four of those great enemies have fallen. Zeed will taste defeat."
"You really sure do have a lot of confidence for them, Piximon. I just hope you are true on your word," Michael thought. "If they fail, then god help us all."
Dimensional Barrier out of the Dark Realm/Odaiba District of Tokyo. 9:34 P.M.
Firmly standing their ground within the Dark Realm territory, Omega X and his allies took battle stances while facing off with the Dark God. They knew that death was waiting their futures but they weren't going to go down without putting up a heavy resistance.
Zeed marched across from out of the real world territory while setting his sights on the warriors. His face twisted with a grin. He stretches out his right arm and fixes his shoulder so to speak before speaking out directly at his adversaries in waiting.
"Let's make this quickly, warriors. Which one of you wants to be sent to their grave first?"
"Damn! If only we had more time to recover," Kaiser Greymon cursed.
"Well, time isn't exactly what he have anyway, Takuya," Gallantmon replied. "I've never felt my power draining as fast as it is now."
"Stand firm, you guys," BW suggested. "I know you two will be unable to maintain your digimon forms, but don't start losing any hope. We'll attack together."
"No offense, but what difference will you and Pikkan make? He easily swatted us aside," Omega X said.
"I know we don't seem much, but we're going just going to sit on the sidelines anymore," Pikkan replied. "Besides, X and Shintomon don't have the spirit to aid us in combat as we speak."
"Leave them alone," Metalla X said. "Besides, Davis, TK and Kari would really be of some use right now, but they're already out of it as it is. Tai! I know I'm asking too much, but let's try the Fusion again."
"We can't do that. I'm currently at a level five and a higher power than your current level four status. I would have to drop this form and I can't afford to do that. I'd do a much better job as a Digi-Mazoku."
"Damn, I should have known," the warrior of friendship sighed.
"Stand firm, you guys!" X calls out.
"What if he is too much for us? We made a mistake to challenge his wrath. Now the human world is in danger of being wiped off the map," Shintomon sighed. "D-Reaper already destroyed it once. The Earth can't afford another cataclysmic event of that magnitude again."
Zeed stops dead center at the battlefield and smiles. His patience had already reached his limit and he would randomly pick off which warrior he would inflict pain.
"Fine then. Since you fellow didn't make up your minds, I'll just pick you off one at a time while the others just watch!"
With that said, the Dark God simply vanished. He didn't even phase. He VANISHED out of thin air. Then, came a few milliseconds of silence, until…
…
…
…
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
…
The first victims were Kaiser Greymon and Gallantmon. Zeed had reappeared in front of him as he delivered a vicious double clothesline to knock both digimon down. Omega X and Metalla X were quickly picking up on Zeed's presence. However, the Dark God once again vanished. Then, came another moment of silence before both Kaiser Greymon and Gallantmon dropped to the ground.
…
…
…
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
…
Zeed reappears behind both Pikkan and BW. He delivered a painful, double-sledge attack across their backs. Pikkan rolled across the dirt and felt his back already being popped out of place. BW falls face-first and nearly became paralyzed from the Dark God's shot from behind.
"I didn't even see him move at all!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"Neither could I! He wasn't kidding when he said he had reached God-like levels!"
"Idiot, he has already become a God, but every so-called 'God' has a weakness. We shall find his!"
Their conversation was immediately cut short as they felt Zeed approaching them from the left corner. Omega X quickly turns around and attempts to throw out a ki blast, but the Dark God had responded by vanishing out once again. He threw off the warrior's attack strategy and went straight to the other side. Metalla X senses out Zeed's ki and throws out a punch. However, that punch merely penetrated through thin-air itself.
"What the…!"
…
…
…
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
…
The warrior pair were instantly sent flying back simultaneously. Zeed reappeared before them after delivering a vicious double fist slam across both Omega X and Metalla X's guts. The Dark God followed it up as he charged across the battlefield. He instantly vanished again and reappears above the duo. He slams both feet across and into the warrior's faces. He sends the pair plummeting down across the fallen building debris demolished earlier.
"No!" X cried out.
"He easily dispatched them in one full swoop! Not even Omega X had a chance to attack!" Shintomon gasped. "There's no hope if even a level five can't stop this monster!"
"Don't lose hope just yet, Shintomon! Those two are still conscious!" X replied. "I don't know about Takato, Takuya, BW or Pikkan, but our two strongest are going to stand firm!"
"FULL OUT SCALE ATTACK!"
Suddenly, Shintomon's wishes were answered as they looked up to find the DW-STF flying down towards the battlefield. Zeed turns around to face the almighty defense force deployed by Huanlongmon. A smile cracks across his chagrin.
"Well, how amusing is this? Huanlongmon decided to send his soldier boys to do his dirty work. Is he really that scared that he refused to challenge me on his own turf?" Zeed laughed.
"Omegamon X!" X calls out. "What's the meaning of this? Did Huanlongmon send you and your fleet here?"
"No…"
"What? You mean you disobeyed orders?" Shintomon asked.
"I came here on my own accord as did my team. I couldn't just sit in the cavern and let a maniac like Zeed have his way with human and digimon kind alike. I have a duty to fulfill as a DW-STF general and as a royal knight. I serve to protect those crying out for peace. Besides, I simply could not bring myself in killing the Warrior of Courage. After every selfless act he has committed over the years. I chose to fight by his side and not be sent to murder a respectful warrior."
"I see. So you have indeed come to your senses after all, Omegamon X," X smiled. "I'm glad. I knew you couldn't bring yourself to that kind of sniveling act."
"Yes. So, now here we stand to put a stop to you, Zeed! I know how strong you've become," Omegamon X motioned towards the Dark God. "As I stand, I don't have enough to stop you, but you will bet that I will give it my all!"
"Heh, how amusing," Zeed chuckled. "So, the soldier boy decided to disobey his superior just to take such a foolish course of action."
"It's better than letting you destroying the balance between the multiple worlds," Rosemon X spoke out.
"We've felt your overwhelming darkness when we were inside the caverns," Magnamon X said. "We deem you the most dangerous enemy and there's no way we're going to let you get away with polluting the worlds with your darkness!"
"Our predecessors died before us and we're willing to die for the next generation!" Alforce V-Dramon X cried out.
"If you want a challenge then look no further!" Dukemon X spoke out defiantly.
However, despite their emotional cries of justice, the Dark God couldn't help but laugh at their futile attempts to intimidate him. Zeed steps forward and nodded his head.
"Your little speeches do nothing more than amuse me. I've already fought through the Digital Universe's best and easily plowed them down. In fact, even Taichi is laying down face first. If he can be easily dispatched by yours truly, what makes you think you fools even stand a chance in hell?"
"We'll see once we get there!" Omegamon X cried out. "I've heard enough out of you, Zeed! DW-STF! Attack formation! Encircle! Give it all you've got!"
With that said, Omegamon X and his crew leaped out across the battlefield. They aimed their attacks directly at Zeed, who stood dead center of where all the DW-STF warriors encircled him. The first to unleash their attack was Rosemon X as she whipped out a thorn-like whip and lashes it out across to unleash an array of deadly razor-sharp petals.
"Roses Rapier!"
Followed by Rosemon X's attack, Magnamon X was up next to implement his offensive assault. His chest started to emit a golden light and he directly sends out an energy blast with extreme force at the Dark God.
"Plasma Shoot!"
Alforce V-Dramon X held a right hand out and a massive sword equipped with a long blade materialized in his right hand. The royal knight majestically took the sword by the handle, held it up high over his head and slashes across to release a massive sword slash projectile.
"Alforce Saber!"
Next, Dukemon X held out his saber and fired a projectile blast through the tip.
"Royal Saber!"
Finally, Omegamon X was up to unleash an attack on the Dark God. Zeed simply stood his ground calmly even with the numerous shots being fired away at all directions. The Metal Garurumon arm on Omegamon X pointed directly at Zeed and released a massive energy blast with tremendous force behind it.
"SUPREME CANNON!"
With each attack hurtling closer and closer, Zeed was calmly standing his ground and opened his eyes. He unleashes a mighty roar and quickly stops the attacks at their tracks. The DW-STF watched in shock as their attacks were not having any affect on the Dark God. Zeed simply waved his hand over each attack and caused them to disperse into broken data.
"ALL TOGETHER! ATTACK!"
Following out Omegamon X's orders, the DW-STF fly out directly at Zeed. Neither of these fine warriors was going to stand down and allow the Dark God to trample over their good name. Omegamon X was the first to attack head on. He throws out numerous sword slashes using his War Greymon hand, but Zeed was swiftly maneuvering from each swipe. Rosemon X punches with an array of fists followed by lashes of her thorn whip.
"Fools! Even you, the DW-STF, are nothing but maggots! You can't hope to defeat me as a unit! My power greatly surpasses yours and your dear guardian, Huanlongmon! I've achieved GOD-like status! Allow me to demonstrate for you after what I've done to Taichi and his comrades!"
Magnamon X and Alforce V-Dramon X take flight up above Zeed. Their hands charged up with energy and immediately let loose raining ki blasts. Zeed looked up and quickly swatted away each ki bast effortlessly.
"Pointless! This is just utterly pointless! Is there any other futile attempt you want to try out on me!" Zeed laughed. "You insects are just as weak as Taichi's allies!"
Dukemon X came charging forward and he slammed his saber directly for Zeed's chest. It looked like he was about to penetrate his majestic weapon through the monster's heart, but alas… that did not come to pass. Zeed caught Dukemon X's saber at the last millisecond and pushes back effortlessly. The Dark God takes advantage of Dukemon X and puts a hand out in front of him to release a powerful invisible force. Dukemon X screams out as he is sent flying back against the ground.
"Don't turn your back on me, Zeed!"
Turning around, Omegamon X leaps out and goes to slice Zeed down in half with his sword. The Dark God merely sidestepped the general and kneed him in the gut. Omegamon X felt the air being directly knocked right out of his body and kneeled down with his ribs starting to crack from the devastating blow. The Dark God steps out in front of the fallen Omegamon X and plants a foot across his face. Zeed snickers as he started to smear Omegamon X's face into the dirt.
"What was that you were saying, general?" Zeed mocked in jester. "I told you! Even you cannot hope to defeat me! You and your DW-STF stooges are only prolonging the inevitable."
"Crap! Even they can't beat him? I should have known," X growled.
"Don't look so glum, X," Zeed laughed. "You fellows were all due to die. There's no changing that. Ever since I came into this universe and changed the laws of physics here, I was still meant to destroy this retched place. I've already become the mightiest without any equals. All that's left is for me to erase everyone and everything associated in this universe. So, I would save your prayers until the end, X. I want to be rid of these weaklings first. Now watch closely."
"No! Not as long as we're here!" Alforce V-Dramon X calls out.
"Heads up, you monster!" roared Magnamon X.
Immediately responding to the incoming attackers, Zeed turns around and slams two fists directly into their chests. The duo were pushed away effortlessly and sent hurtling across. Zeed soars up directly after the duo and fires down a rain of ki blasts to cause heavy damage to their armored bodies. Their cries echoed out from each armor-piercing blast. Rosemon X throws out her whip across, but only for it to be caught Zeed. He incinerates it using the dark ki channeling through his body.
"So, of all the weapons you are going to use against me… This is the best you've got? Ha! You might as well start planting your own garden, because it will soon be your own grave."
"You… don't scare me! I was trained to take out scum like you!"
"Is that a fact? Well, the next you use that whip, try attacking when the enemy has their back turned! In this case, I still would have caught your whip anyway. Now, allow me to repay the favor…"
Before he had a chance to finish his sentence after favor', the Dark God vanishes out. This threw Rosemon X's guard completely off. Suddenly, she gasped out when a powerful force plunged into her gut. Zeed reappears in front of her and shoots out a massive blast directly at her face. The female screamed out and plummeted down directly through the debris below.
Zeed levitated halfway above the ground below and crossed his arms in satisfaction. In nearly a few minutes, he had effortlessly swatted away the DW-STF's strongest soldiers. They couldn't even inflict any damage on him whatsoever. X and Shintomon both feared the worst to come.
"This can't be happening! Not the DW-STF!" Shintomon gasped in shock. "Even Huanlongmon's best soldiers couldn't stop him!"
"If they can't do it, then it all comes down to our boys," X replied. "C'mon, Tai! Get your ass up!"
Meanwhile, almost as if responding to X's pleads, Omega X rose out of the debris with his body already taking a toll. He managed to slowly arise and shake the cobwebs out of his head. Metalla X was soon to follow while he was catching his breath.
"Hey! Looks like you've got your wish, X," Shintomon pointed out to the warrior duo.
"But, their bodies are already taking a toll on them," X sighed. "Damn! They can't be hurt at a time like this!"
Omega X coughed out smoke debris before making eye contact once again with Metalla X. He was more concerned with his rival's current condition than his own at the moment.
"Hey, Matt! Are you going to be all right?"
"Ugh… Wha- What kind of question is that?" Metalla X growled. "I can't even feel my body… It's all numb from the blows I've been receiving."
"Damn! I'm even surprised that you're still in your level four form!"
"I know… The same goes for your fifth form, but it's necessary. It's our only shot at beating this bastard."
"Doubt it. Where have you been all this time, Yamato? That guy has been kicking my ass regardless of my Digi-Mazoku form."
"Good… point…"
Just then, there was a low humming sound being heard from above the heavens. The warrior pair looked up directly towards the borderline between the Human World and the Dark Realm. Zeed was poised at the center with his right hand held high above his head. A massive red energy ball was materializing and collecting enough power to it. The Dark God possessed a sadistic grin across his face and prepared to unleash the apocalyptic blast down towards the fallen heroes.
"X! Can you feel the force behind that energy?" Shintomon asked. "It will be enough to waste both worlds simultaneously!"
"I know… I know… But will Tai and Matt be strong enough to push it back? Not in their current conditions. Damn it! Damn it! No! This can't be happening! TAI! MATT! DON'T LET THAT BLAST HIT THE SURFACE!"
Taking X's warning for granted, both Omega X and Metalla X knew what they had to do. They looked up to face Zeed. He held the massive red sphere in his right hand and was poised to sling it down across the surface. When he said that he was going to waste the entire dimension, he wasn't going to go back on his word. He was dead serious. There was no turning back for the warriors. It was die in vain or die while putting up a valiant effort.
"Matt! You heard him! We've got to stop him!" Omega X calls out to his rival. "If that blast hits the surface, it will be the end of both worlds!"
"I could care less about the Dark Realm, but nobody threatens to destroy our home planet!"
They both stopped once they heard Zeed laughing heartily.
"Look! I'm getting SICK of your senseless bickering!" Zeed roared.
"I could say the same for you, jack ass!" Metalla X retorted.
"Earlier, you and your allies had quite the amount of power and energy behind your attacks! You even had strength in numbers, but look at how easily I dispatched them! Now, all of your power has been drained and most of your attacks have already been cut down in half!"
As Zeed ranted on, the massive red sphere was expanding out extraordinarily with more power being processed within it. The warriors knew this was going to be the deadliest apocalyptic blast any being would have ever produced. Sure, it may not look like much but there is more power behind this force than meets the eye. Zeed processed even more dark energy through his attack and did not take his eyes off of his adversaries.
"The age of the human race has already met its crossroads. Digimon have already expanded their boundaries across the digital realms. It's time everything be laid to waste and erased for good. In this sphere, I hold all of your fates!"
The sphere grew larger than even Zeed himself. It expanded outward and streaked with powerful streaks of bolts. They surged through the sphere and caused the broken dimension itself to widen.
"YOUR PEOPLE…"
The sphere grew bigger and bigger.
"YOUR CULTURES…"
Zeed's eyes became possessed with the obsessive urge to annihilate everything in his path, including the Dark Realm he had already became accustomed to.
"YOUR PLANETS… Everything that YOU have worked so hard to achieve… Well, YOU CAN KISS IT ALL GOODBYE!"
Omega X stood firm despite the odds being stacked against him. He looked up at the growing apocalyptic sphere and his face crossed with grimace.
"I don't care how powerful you've become. I'm not going to let that sphere hit the surface! We've come too far to fail now!"
However, Omega X may want to change his mind because Zeed's power sphere was already as large as a mile-wide mansion. The sphere streaked with even more intense electrical power behind it and it caused the heavens to tremble under its sheer might.
Amongst the first to awaken from their unconsciousness states were both Gallantmon and Kaiser Greymon. They looked up to find Zeed in mid-air with the sphere above his head. They gasped out in shock at how utterly massive the attack was becoming. Plus, it was only going to grow more as the time passes.
"There's no way those two will be able to hold that thing back!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed.
"Which is why we will give them a hand!" Gallantmon roared out.
Next, the trio of Ultima X, Mystic Celesta and War Angemon looks up towards the skies to find a massive star-like sphere shining through the darkness of the two worlds. Ultima X looked up and felt the tremendous power being processed. It was intense to say the least.
"WHOA! How long have we been out for?" Ultima X wondered. "Where did that… star come from!"
"It looks like the rose morning star from where we are standing," War Angemon said.
"No! It's Zeed!" Mystic Celesta gasped. "My brother and TK's brother are out there! They are going to try to push that thing back!"
"No way! They're toast if they get near that thing!" Ultima X gasped. "We have to go and stop them! Let's move!"
Nodding in agreement, War Angemon and Mystic Celesta fly out across with Ultima X leading the way. They flew as far as where they finally spotted Omega X and Metalla X standing their ground.
"No, this can't be the end," War Angemon whispered.
"No way, TY! This isn't the end!" Ultima X exclaimed. "Not as long as we're still breathing air!"
"That attack! TAI! MATT! Move out of the way!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
"What!" Omega X exclaimed. "TK! DAVIS! KARI! GET BACK!"
"I thought they were goners for sure after being spat out of Zeed," Metalla X said. "Damn! They shouldn't get too close! That sphere's energy is strong enough to push them back!"
"LAST WARNING! MOVE AWAY!" Omega X called out to the trio.
"What's the problem! We're coming down to help you!" Ultima X retorted.
"Not in your conditions!"
"Well, no offense, but your not looking so great either," War Angemon stated.
Already having heard enough out of the warriors, Zeed halted his energy transfer through his deadly orb of destruction and held out both hands over it. He unleashes a mighty roar and was ready to launch his attack no matter the consequences. He was through with playing with his adversaries.
"ALL RIGHT! LET'S END THIS! TIME TO DIE!"
With that said, Zeed finally tosses the massive sphere down across at his adversaries. He would take out not just the warriors but the two worlds at the same time. Metalla X looked up and put his hands together to unleash his powerful offensive attack technique: the Ice Barrier Beam.
"Stand aside, you guys! This one's mine!"
Before the warrior of friendship had a chance to launch his attack, Omega X had a different idea. He flies across at Metalla X, delivers a head butt into him and sends Metalla X sprawling across the dirt. Omega X stood in place of his rival and prepared to meet the destructive sphere head on.
"NO! TAI!" Metalla X exclaimed.
"NO! BIG BROTHER!" cried out Mystic Celesta.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" shouted Gallantmon.
"YOU FOOL! YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO DIE AGAIN!" X cried out.
…
…
Omega X's face was twisted with determination and no fear. He was ready to meet fate head on and could care less if he had died again. It was the fate of Earth and the Digital Universe that mattered to him more. Since Max was willing to sacrifice himself, Taichi would do the same and go out like a hero.
…
…
"I WON'T LET THIS ORB HIT THE SURFACE! I WON'T LET THE WORLDS GO OUT LIKE THIS! I'LL USE EVERY OUNCE OF MY BREATH TO PUSH THIS BACK! ZEED! WHAT I REPRESENT CANNOT BE DESTROYED!"
…
…
The apocalyptic sphere came closer and closer, until… SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
It met head on with Omega X and he held both hands out to hold the sphere at bay. He strained and watched as sections of his fur being incinerated from the intense heat energy. His face contorted with indescribable pain and sheer determination. He pushes back on the massive sphere and slowly drags his feet across.
"NO! I WON'T LET THIS HIT THE SURFACE! YOU MAY HAVE POWER BUT I POSSESS THE WILL AND HEART OF COURAGE! EVERYONE IS COUNTING ON ME! EVEN IF I DIE AGAIN, MY FRIENDS WILL AVENGE ME! TAKATO! DAVIS ! TK! MATT! KARI! X! EVERY OTHER DIGI-DESTINED WILL SEE TO IT THAT YOU FAIL!"
…
…
Omega X screamed out with intensity and flared up with a powerful aura. He held the sphere at bay and started straining once again. Zeed laughed in a mocking gesture and channeled darker ki through his apocalyptic sphere.
…
…
"HA! GUESS AGAIN! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
…
…
Processing even more dark energy into his attack, Omega X was already becoming overwhelmed as it is. His teeth tightened while beads of sweat poured down across Omega X's face.
"SORA! MAX! NO! I CAN'T YOU DOWN!"
…
"Hang in there!" X called out to his student. "You can do it! Just dig deeper! Don't let him win!"
"What do you think I've been doing!" Omega X roared out. "ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!"
…
…
"HA! HA! YES, TAICHI! SOON YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE WIPED OUT FROM THE FACE OF EXISTENCE!" Zeed laughed like a madman possessed. "YOU'RE FACING THE WRATH OF THE APOCALYPSE!"
"Tai! We believe in you!" Gallantmon calls out. "You're stronger than he is! I just know it! Push that thing back! Push it as hard as you can!"
"He's already losing it! Look! He's losing his footing!" exclaimed War Angemon.
"No! Tai! Don't give up! We can't let the people of Earth and the Digital Universe down!" Ultima X screamed out. "You can't let Zeed win!"
"He's right! This is a war we have to win!" replied Kaiser Greymon.
"Big brother!" Mystic Celesta shouted.
Meanwhile, X and Shintomon watch the intense struggle between the ultimate hero and the Dark God. It appeared Omega X was gaining an upper hand by pushing back on the massive sphere. However, it was very obvious Zeed was going to implement even more energy through the sphere and overpower even Omega X Wargod Mode. Shintomon could already tell that Tai was no longer at one hundred percent power during his fight with Saitou. He was already becoming more drained during the struggle.
"If Taichi continues this struggle any longer, then he will not be able survive. No! He can't die a second time! Once was enough! Taichi! Why do you keep injecting yourself in these near death struggles? I could hardly take it anymore!" Shintomon thought.
Pikkan and BW slowly rose to their feet while looking ahead towards the mighty struggle. They felt the increasing ki from Zeed's wrath.
"Damn! So this is Zeed's best!" Pikkan gasped.
"No! I'm willing to bet that this is only the beginning! He hasn't even come close to revealing his full power!" BW stated. "I doubt even Tai has what it takes to push back on a massive scale attack like this any longer! He is the Digi-Mazoku, but even he has his limits! He'll die at this rate!"
"Tai! Please, stay strong! The fate of many worlds relies on you! You are their savior!" X calls out.
However, that comment about 'savior' made Omega X want to chuckle. Yes, he was playing the role of a hero but could he actually consider himself a savior? The only other times he had decisively defeated enemies were his clashes against Burizalor, Bebimon and Himo Saitou. He never had a chance to overwhelm Virus or the D-Reaper since Kari and Takato defeated those two villains.
"I have to make this one count! I have to rely on myself! I HAVE TO BELIEVE IN MY D-FUSION POWER!" Omega X screamed in thought. "We will survive without the Digicores! We don't need them to defeat the likes of you! Our hearts and souls are all the necessities necessary to send monsters like you out of our REALITY! Earth has already been destroyed once and I will SEE to it that it doesn't happen again! I won't let you erase our friends and families just for the sake of your own cruel satisfaction! Sorry to rain on your damn parade, Zeed! Mankind's time will be decided from Kami-sama! You can't dictate when the inevitable apocalypse arrives! We, the Digi-Destined of all four generations, WILL see to it that you DIE!"
As his feet held their ground, the weight of the sphere caused Omega X to sink deeper through the ground. The earth under his feet was crumbling and floating rocks were shattering all over where he stood. Omega X screamed out once the weight started to sink in and push him deeper and deeper through the surface.
"I WON'T LET YOU DESTROY OUR WORLD!"
With that said, Omega X's body flared up with an indescribable aura. The force of this power up gave the warrior a second wind and he was gaining back an advantage. Pushing back against the sphere, Omega X's slanted and his teeth clenched tightly.
"HA! YOU… FOOL! MORE POWER!" Zeed laughed.
Using the power of the digicores embedded on his chest, Zeed increased the flow of his dark energy and channeled it through the massive orb. The orb widened further and pushed down onto Omega X. The weight of Zeed's mighty sphere was heavily weighing down on Omega X. The screams of the warrior echoed across the landscape as the sphere plowed deeply through the ground.
Everyone, including Metalla X, cried out for the hero and attempted to fly out to save him. However, they were pushed back by the massive explosion that was to come.
"TAI!" Metalla X cried out. "TAI! NO!"
"Everyone! We have to get away from here as far as possible!" X warned everyone. "Omegamon X! That includes you and the DW-STF!"
"Uh… Damn! I didn't think Taichi would be this insane!" Omegamon X nodded. "All right, team! Fall out!"
"YES, SIR!" the DW-STF called out in unison.
With that said, the first to fly off through the torn dimension and into the Earth realm were Metalla X, Mystic Celesta, Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon, War Angemon and Ultima X. They were followed by Pikkan, BW, X and Shintomon. The Supreme Guardian was holding onto both Ken and Lady Moinanea around his arms. Finally, the last to follow were the five members of the DW-STF team.
Each one turned around to look behind them as the explosion grew massive in proportion. It was enough to cause a gigantic tremor that was felt throughout both dimensions. They screamed out in shock at the site where Omega X was fighting against Zeed's almighty Apocalypse Sphere.
"TAICHI!" Shintomon screamed out.
A space view of Earth. 9:42 P.M.
There. A perfect view of the Earth itself. It looks beautiful and majestic from an outer space point of view. It looked as though it were already peaceful without any sort of cataclysmic problems. However, from a closer point of view, there was a shot of a massive red dome forming over a tiny portion of Japan. The sphere shone out like a bright star and glistened. Then, the sphere was sending out shockwaves across the planet and the oceans across. If you look at it more closely, it would look very similar to the Rose Morning Star.
Between the Dimension Fabric of Earth and the Dark Realm. 9:43 P.M.
At the wake of the massive explosion and impact of the blast, the smoke clouds started to clear away. The Dark Realm had taken more damage than the Earth did. Even through, numerous debris flew out across towards Odaiba itself and flattened several city blocks down with the destructive debris. A wave of heat scattered across the landscape.
Fortunately, everyone that had escaped was safe within the skylines above. The first to uncover their eyes were the Digital warriors followed by Pikkan, BW, Shintomon and X. Their eyes widened and hopes were shattered. The DW-STF were even more stunned.
Far off from the distance, the trio of Piximon, Centaurmon and Andromon stopped across while traveling across the city on foot. They stared on up ahead and gasped out in disbelief at what had appeared in front of them. Metal Seadramon and Michael arrived just in time to see what everyone else was gazing down upon. The young man's eyes widened and the sight nearly caused him to fall down onto his back.
…
…
…
VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
…
Right dead in between the dimension fabric of Earth and the Dark Realm, there was a MASSIVE crater with a deep hole that looked to be bottomless. The crater covered nearly a huge portion of the bordering Dark Realm dimension and about half of Odaiba's eastern district. Luckily, there had been a city evacuation from the beginning of the digimon invasion.
This exact spot was where Omega X once stood and he was no longer anywhere to be seen. The Digimon and the Digital Warriors were unable to pick up his ki location. It felt as though he were already wiped off from the face of the planet itself.
"MY GODDRAMON! AT THE SIZE OF THAT!" X panicked.
"Don't tell me that is where Tai once held that sphere back," Gallantmon asked.
"I'm afraid so and I can't even feel out his ki anymore," sighed Shintomon.
"Me either. It's as if he were wiped off from the face of existence," Metalla X said.
"No! Not my brother!" Mystic Celesta cried out with tears in her eyes.
"No! It can't end like this! Not after every battle we've fought together over the years!" Ultima X thought. "Are you really gone from this world again? Dying twice must suck!"
"Tai… I can't believe this," X gasped. "Dying again for the sake of our survival…? Now we're all that is left against Zeed?"
"Taichi," Omegamon X lowered his head. "You died a hero's death a second time after committing such a selfless act. I don't know what to say, but I will be honored to carry out your will."
Even Piximon, Centaurmon, Andromon and Ogremon shared the same sentiments once listening to the word that Tai had once again perished. They lowered their heads and turned their attention upwards to where a white-skinned dragon man beast was levitating downward from the heavens above.
"The Warrior of Courage has fallen once again?" asked Metal Seadramon.
"It's afraid so, my friend," Centaurmon sighed. "This can't be happening! After this way…!"
"I knew I should had written my will! Well, it's not too late to start now!" Ogremon sighed.
"Damn that Zeed! I can see him descending from the heavens! He's the culprit to his unforgiving murder!" Piximon pointed out.
"Warriors! We must stand firm! In honor of Taichi Kamiya, WE will stand united as one! Zeed hasn't won!" Andromon replied.
However, as the warriors were reeling back from the loss of Taichi, the Dark God levitated down and landed on top of a devastated light post. His arms were crossed and a malicious grin forms on his pale face. Much like Saitou before him, he had officially given Taichi Kamiya his second death. Only this time there was no body to be found and Zeed showed no concern for the warrior's demise. All he cared for at this point was the destruction of life, real and digital kind alike.
"Ah, so it would seem he prevented this trash heap known as Earth from exploding in exchange for his own worthless life."
Once those words were said, Zeed's body started to hum a low sound and emitted a dark hue aura across his God-like body. He was already in the process of spreading his negative, dark energy across the Earth and into the Dark Realm. By fueling the Dark Realm along with his own dark ki, the Earth would quickly become polluted in a matter of minutes. The Earth's night skies were becoming even more darker and harder to even see. It was almost as if a massive volcano had erupted to blanket the entire planet itself, similar to what an eventual super volcano would have done.
With the warriors looking on helplessly and still recovering from their battle, X levitated forward with a saddened expression. He never would have thought that Tai would give up his own life again for the sake of his loved ones. Tears swelled up in X's eyes while he whispered the name of his student.
"Tai… No, not again… You can't die like this."
Looking across at his handiwork, Zeed smiled on with satisfaction and anticipated the countdown for Earth's eventual collapse into a dead zone.
"Humph. Well, he's dead as expected since I cannot sense his ki anymore. But now, my negative energy is going to envelop the entire planet and hastening the spread of the Dark Realm's negative energy directly into the Digital Realms. Every Sovereign, Holy Beast, Celestial Angel and digimon will feel my wrath consuming every source of life. Nothing and nobody will have a chance to escape. I'll give it a few minutes before everything goes according to schedule. Ha. Ha. It's only a matter of time before this planet dies along with every human alike. Yes! I can envision it just like the future world I once conquered!"
Lowering his head directly towards the crater, he snickers and gives a final farewell to the now deceased warrior.
"Taichi Kamiya, ultimately, your death was to no avail. Find some joy in eternal rest," Zeed laughed heartily.
With the villain continuously laughing, the spread of the darkness was already enveloping all of Odaiba and Japan in a matter of seconds. The hastening was all thanks in part to the open gap left widened to release the energy of the Dark realm itself.
"NO! NOT THIS WAY!" X screamed out. "TAI! NO!"
"X! You need to calm down! Taichi maybe gone, but he left us to defend the Earth! It's our turn to avenge his death! Remember how much stronger each of Taichi's friends have gotten when Saitou killed him!" Shintomon reminded the man.
"You don't understand, Shintomon. He died and came back as the Digi-Mazoku. We never sat down to think what would happen if his body was incinerated into nothing!" X replied. "He has no chance of returning and the digicores are now apart of that maniac!"
"With Zeed spreading his darkness further, this planet is only going to worsen in condition," Pikkan said. "Damn! So, is this how we're going to end? Just when I was starting to enjoy living here. Leomon. Jeri. Looks like I'll be joining you my friends."
"To think, that guy was my rival and I was designed as Black War Greymon to kill him," BW stated. "Here I am seeking to avenge his death? Who would have thought?"
"The darkness…" Mystic Celesta shivered from the dark, cold breeze. "I can feel it. Zeed's darkness is spreading every corner of the globe."
"The sun itself will eventually be blocked out and this negative energy will create never ending natural disasters to crush the earth," Omegamon X stated.
"We can't afford to let that happen! Tai died to allow us to take over from where he left off," Gallantmon spoke out. "I don't know about any of you, but I'm going to carry out his wishes!"
"Count me in, too," Kaiser Greymon nodded. "We've seen enough people die as it is. My fellow warriors maybe gone, but their hopes rely on me to free them!"
"What if we aren't strong enough?" War Angemon asked. "The darkness… it's already spreading and we're too drained from our last two fights. Our forms will eventually give out from the loss of power."
"I don't want to hear it!" Ultima X snapped. "I can't believe you're going to say what I thought you were going to say! No, we're not backing out now! Not after everything we've been through! Tai died selflessly to allow us to take over from where he left off!"
"Amen to that brotha," Kaiser Greymon nodded.
"So, what are we doing dawdling around for?" Gallantmon said. "Hey, soldier guys! You going to jump in and help us out?"
"Yes, anything to fulfill the wishes of the warrior that sacrificed himself," Omegamon X spoke. "We, the DW-STF, will not let you down. We'll fight with you until the very end."
"That's well assuring," Mystic Celesta smiled. "This is it, guys. Our final battle. Now, all we have to do is make this one count."
Despite their rejuvenated confidence, the warriors knew full well that this would be their last decisive battle. The battle that determines the fate of many worlds at once. They were unaware of how quickly the darkness was spreading across the planet and blocking every trace of sunlight. Each of the Digital warriors turned over towards the source of that exact darkness. Zeed stretched his arms out and released more of his negative energy. His laughter echoed throughout the city and would eventually be heard worldwide. He had indeed become a god to dictate the fate of mankind.
"We're not finished yet, Zeed. You can spread your darkness but that won't even change a thing!" Shintomon thought. "We will carry on Taichi's wishes continue this fight. That is how Lady Moinanea would want anyway."
Unfortunately, even Shintomon's hopes were not going to make a difference. All of that won't prevent Zeed from continuing his darkness swallowing every trace of light, either it is natural or artificial. The Earth will never be the same again.
Worldwide View of Earth. 9:48 P.M.
The entire planet was shown once again. This time the heavenly blue skies were being eclipsed by the ever growing blanket of darkness. The sun's light was being blocked out by the dark blanket preventing any source of radiation to penetrate through. It would only be a matter of time before the Earth becomes a haven of darkness and completely lifeless due to poisoning effects of the negative energy.
The satellite soared over the orbit of the global Mother Earth and encircled around the blanket of darkness.
Followed by the spread of the dark blanket, the Earth's surface itself was intensifying with explosions across the planet. Star-like lights shot out from every explosive site. Streaks of thunder rolled from those exact locations. The earth was already undergoing a series of increasing natural disasters, which will only worsen as the time passes on.
Savior's Palace near main entrance of St. Basil's Cathedral. Moscow Russia 2:49 P.M.
The beautiful, afternoon skies were quickly being blanketed out by the growing darkness. Even the citizens of Moscow, Russia wondered why there was a sudden change in the skies. They had just endured a digimon invasion a short few hours ago. Now this would all of sudden turn up.
Standing outside the majestic St. Basil's Cathedral, there was a group of gathered together at the Red Square. Most were clasping their hands together and many others chanting prayers. Cries of children had subsided and everything just seemed silent.
They truly did believe that the end of times had arrived as said through Biblical Prophecies. However, what they didn't realize that this was the work of a wicked, dark god who has other plans other than make some crazy prophecy out of the Bible come true. Zeed was merely spreading his darkness and polluting everything it touches.
However, this wasn't the case with three single individuals. They were the Russian Digi-Destined. Two young adult females and an adult male. Sonya with her partner, Snimon. Her blonde-hair was covered by a snow-hat. The male, Yuri, stood side by side with Kuwagamon. The other girl, Anna, sat on the back of her winged horse partner, Unimon.
"So, what do you make of it?" Anna asked her legendary horse partner.
"It is as we feared. The Dark God has entered this world and is preparing to cover this world in a blanket of darkness. This planet will not last much longer," Unimon sighed sadly.
"He's right," nodded Snimon. "Sonya. The Chosen from Japan have most likely fallen against this God-like power. I'm afraid there's nothing more we can do."
"There isn't we can do?" Sonya gasped.
"Not at the rate this darkness is spreading. The Digital Worlds, too, will fall," said Kuwagamon.
"Damn! If only there was anything we can do to offer help to our friends in Japan!" cursed Yuri.
"Sora. Yolei," Anna thought. "I guess Borscht and Peruski just won't cut it this time. If only we heard from you guys by now, then we'd jump at the opportunity to help you guys. But, what more can we do when we don't even know what we're truly up against?"
As the Russian Digi-Destined shared their doubts, the same sentiments were said exactly the same by every other Digi-Destined worldwide.
Hong Kong . The City. 8:52 P.M.
The darkened skies streaked with dangerous radical lighting. There were now reports of lighting striking down upon several sections of Hong Kong and outside of its city district. Homes have been devastated and there were already reports of tsunamis being swept across neighboring islands off miles away from the mainland. To say the least, the panic level was at an all time high.
Amongst the fleeing crowds were three adult males. All three were brothers and sported conservative suits. They held devices, similar to the ones held by the 01 Digi-Destined. These are the Poi Brothers: Huang, Puang and Hao. Their digimon partners were exactly the same kind, Octomon. The mollusk creatures' bodies were red, with a king's crown on their heads, a sword on one right tentacle and a device that looked like a blow-dryer on one of the left arm tentacles.
"This is just awful! The thunder and lighting is getting worse!" Huang, the oldest, announced to his brothers.
"Not to mention the reports of possible tsunamis!" Hao, the youngest, replied. "The entire planet is undergoing cataclysmic natural disasters, plus this blanket of darkness covering the skies."
"So, you think this is the work of the enemy the Japanese Digi-Destined are facing?" asked Puang. "I'm worried for Izzy and Hikari."
"They're hanging in there! I mean they are amongst the originals and have prevailed over many enemies before!" Huang assured his brothers. "I mean they saved us from Virus and D-Reaper. They're going to do the same with this new enemy they are battling against!"
"Makes you wonder if they will make a difference, because this kind of unnatural occurrence has never happened," Puang said. "Then again, the Earth did detonate only to be restored."
"Don't lose hope brothers," the Octomon replied in unison. "Believe in those Digi-Destined and they will prevail. This darkness that blankets the skies now will subside if you continue to trust in their abilities."
"Damn, but what else can we do to help them? Nothing! I'd rather do something about it!" Hao cursed.
"Like they said brother, we must not lose faith. I foresee a miracles that will rise out of the shadows," Huang nodded. "May light penetrate through the darkness…"
Border Between India and China 5:54 P.M.
The Chinese military remained poised as they watched the unnatural occurrences spread across the landscape. The wings were instantly becoming stronger and earthquakes were becoming quite common.
Indian villagers emerged from out of their homes miles off from the border. Many chanted prayers and others kneeled to beg for forgiveness from their gods. In this case, Zeed would not answer to their prayers and would claim to have defeated their 'precious gods'.
There was a young Indian woman with a man with a body engulfed by fire. This woman is the Indian Digi-Destined named Mina with her digimon partner, Meramon.
"This can't be happening. Has the end times come?" Mina gasped.
"No, this is the work of the wicked god that has finally been awakened after a long dormancy."
"The Dark God?"
"Zeed Millenniummon…" Meramon scowled to himself.
Paris France . Site of the Arch of Triumph. 1:54 P.M.
Gazing up at the blanketing skies, a blonde-haired woman sits off of her hover bike and places her helmet on her seat. A passenger leaps off to reveal itself as a digimon. This was Floramon and the partner to the infamous French girl Digi-Destined, Catherine.
"Floramon. What do you make of this?"
"Trouble, Catherine. It's only going to get worse from here on," Floramon sighed. "I just wish the Dark God hadn't been awakened."
Catherine gasped and looked down at her digivice. She could have Floramon digivolve, but she is utterly clueless about the current situation at hand. She knew nothing of Zeed's arrival and the horrors that the Earth would soon follow in a matter of minutes.
"I'm worried for our friends from Japan. I hope everything is doing well," Catherine sighed. "They most likely know the problem that is causing these chain of events."
"Could be a possibility," Floramon nodded.
"If only there was anything we could do to help. Oh, I wish we weren't left out in the blue…"
Sydney Australia . The Sydney Opera House Site. 10:54 P.M.
Grouped together around the famous Sydney Opera House, Derek and Crabmon watched the blanketing darkness engulfed the beautiful starry skies. At this point, even moonlight was blocked out. The crowds of people were already starting to panic, much like every other nation across the planet.
"What do you make of this, Crabmon?" Derek asked his partner.
"Bad. It's only going to get worse from here on."
Mexico City 6:54 A.M.
A massive crowd of the Mexican City citizens gathered at the center. Their eyes shifted towards the dark skies and the sense of a dark presence sweeping through. Massive lighting struck across the landscape and devastated large portions of the landscape. Unfortunately for everyone of those who couldn't escape, they had become casualities of the approaching disasters.
Rosa was amongst those within the crowd with Gotsumon standing by her side. The young woman's eyes were signs of worry, especially for her best friends in Japan.
"Ken. Yolei. Cody. Amigos! Whatever is causing this, I hope you can stop it!" Rosa cried out. "Gotsumon? You think they'll defeat whatever us causing this?"
"I can't be so sure, but I know the enemy they're facing is the Dark God himself."
"Dark God? Aye yosmeo!"
"I know what you mean and this enemy just would be one they won't defeat."
"What makes you say that! They've managed to whip the crud out of bendehos: Virus, D-Reaper and Bebimon!"
"But, this is the Dark God, Rosa. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news and I wish there is something we can do, but we will only become causalities. We have to trust in our friends and they should… at least have a chance to come out of this."
"Are they really going against an unstoppable force? Is this the end of earth? No, it can't be! Ken! Yolei! Digi-Destined! You can't fail! We're counting on you! The people all over the world pray for a miracle! You are our hopes!"
New York City Times Square 7:55 A.M.
Deep within the city that never sleeps, the people who came to pay their respects to the victims of 9/11 looked up towards the heavens as the Big Apple became shrouded by a thick blanket of darkness. The morning skies were being blackened and the sun's radiation was instantously blocked out.
Citizens were confused by this bizarre turn of events. However, when it became apparent by the national news that the whole world was being blanketed by the darkness, the New York citizens were starting to worry. Traffic was building up on the streets.
"… There has been a sudden wave of changes occurring across skies all over the world! There's no explanation for this strange phenomenon! It was once believed that this thick dark clouds were the result of the recent awakening of old volcanoes, but these clouds have been emitting any heat. This just in, every trace of sunlight is being blocked out. I don't know what this means, but could this be the result of recent chain of events. Monsters appearing worldwide over the past few days and the increasing number of natural disasters. The entire planet has been under a state of crisis! Could this be what many consider the End of Times? Has mankind finally met its crossroads? Even I can't make an opinion out of this. The only thing we can do, as a human civilization, is hope that these occurrences disperse. Hopefully we will receive word from the President himself in a matter of moments!"
A pair of figures was watching the television news through a large screen TV being displayed inside an electronics store. One of them is a young, African American man with a fiery-orange lizard digimon with a metallic mask covering his face. This digimon is identified as Flarizamon. The young man is named Phil, but he was not the only American Digi-Destined crowding around the television.
Standing aside from him was a young woman with a Centaurmon, a glass-wearing Jewish American man with a Frigimon and a Native American male with a Tortomon. Their eyes were glued directly on the television in order to listen for any further updates on the ongoing crisis. While the American Digi-Destined were clueless to the arising crisis, the digimon could feel out Zeed's power rising extraordinarily.
"We'll keep you informed on the ongoing crisis, but I doubt anybody will want to give exclusive coverage with the natural disasters on the rise! This could very well be my-"
Before the news reporter had a chance to speak out, the television feed was cut off and the screen displayed full static. The digimon immediately shifted their focus on the shrouded clouds and growled intensely.
"Just what in gods name is going on out there? Are the Digi-Destined of Japan at the cross fires of this catastrophe?" Phil thought.
Tokyo Japan . Odaiba City District. 9:54 P.M.
As the warriors looked on from the far distance, the almighty Dark God's arms stretched out. He lets out a loud, triumphant laugh for ALL to hear. Victory is soon becoming evident in his favor. He was even happier to find out that the darkness had already engulfed the earth and blocked out every trace of the sun's light.
"No! The Earth!" BW growled.
"This is… terrible," X muttered to himself as he gazed around the surrounding darkness.
"Ha! Ha! Yes! YES! MY DARKNESS IS SPREADING! THIS PLANET HAS LOST EVERY TRACE OF SUNLIGHT!" Zeed laughed in triumph. "I can feel the Earth dying underneath my sheer power! Soon, everything will die and this retched trash heap will become a dead zone! It's only a matter of time before I spread my darkness across into the Digital Realms. No power is left to challenge me! Taichi is dead and I can live freely as the ultimate power in the UNIVERSE! Ha! Ha!"
Having heard enough rambling out of Zeed's mouth, Metalla X was the first to curse to himself and broke up the silence treatment amongst the group.
"Damn! Just when we thought losing the Earth to the D-Reaper was bad enough! Zeed is only prolonging the inevitable. He's going to make our world suffer excruciating pain slowly!" Metalla X growled. "We're the only ones who can make a difference! We might not have much left, but we will give it our all!"
"Brother…" War Angemon whispered.
"TK. As a brother, will you be willing to fight alongside me?"
"Of course, anything. We are brothers until the end."
"Don't forget to count us goggle head representatives, too," Ultima X said. "You bet myself, Takato and Takuya will carry out the tradition and avenge Tai! Isn't that right, guys?"
"You know it!" Kaiser Greymon agreed.
"For Tai and my fellow Tamers!" Gallantmon cried out.
"Shintomon. X. It would be best if you guys stay on the sidelines," Metalla X suggested. I don't know how ugly this might turn out, but we can't afford losing you two."
"Besides, you're carrying two bodies as it is, Shintomon," BW stated. "Perhaps, you can find a way to restore those two with an alternative."
"Please, do be careful everyone," X said. "I don't think I can handle losing anymore of you to that monster."
"Don't worry. Nobody else is going to be dying," Mystic Celesta assured the young man.
"In fact, we will be there to aid these brave heroes against the Dark God," Omegamon X said. "Just leave it to us."
"All right. I leave this to you, my friends. Good luck," X stated. "Shintomon. Perhaps we can go and see Gennai? He must might have an idea of what we can do to prevent the further spread of Zeed's darkness."
"Yes. The sooner we act, the better…"
Quickly powering up a battle aura, Metalla X soars off into the distance and heads out to where Zeed was currently positioned at.
"Whoa! Hold up! Wait for us!" Ultima X called out to the warrior of friendship.
"My brother has definitely changed over the years. He no longer views Tai as rival, but as a friend and ally. He's even willing to throw away his life for a third time. Well, I know what death was like. If we have to die, then we will go out like heroes! Because, that's we have eventually become in the first place! I hold the hope that a miracle will emerge from this darkness and stop Zeed's momentum. I'm a firm believer of that," War Angemon thought.
…
…
As everyone set off to follow Metalla X to join him in the upcoming battle, Zeed was still laughing joyfully and spreading more of his dark energy. He suddenly stopped for a moment and turns around to pick up a familiar ki. It belonged to Metalla X and the warrior was ready to meet the Dark God head-on once again. Zeed turns around and sported a grin across his sinister chagrin.
"Well, if is isn't Yamato? I see you've come to avenge the death of your rival once again. Don't tell me you plan on challenging my God-like power? You're only writing your own death warrant. Oh wait, I forgot. You've died twice already and you want to make this third time a charm. Am I right?"
"Zeed. If I have to die again, then so be it. But, you're coming along with me. I will see to it that Tai is avenged. However, that's not one reason I came here to see to it that your demise is eminent."
"Oh? Do care to enlighten, Yamato?"
"You took away what meant dearly to me. My wife. My daughter. My son. Palmon. Hell, even the future version of my son has been slain by your hand! It sickens me to know that HIS blood is stained on your hands!"
"But, Yamato. The last time I checked, you never truly cared for that no good punk. Why the sudden urge to avenge him?"
"I was the jerk to him! I never gave him a chance, until… Until Virus murdered him right before my very own eyes. I didn't see how he would be willing to stake his own life to ensure my survival! He even gave us warning about the hell the artificials would bring forth!"
"Yes and you simply brushed him aside. You claimed that he was lying! Besides, wasn't it you who wanted Virus to reach his perfect form? Dimitri tried to stop his completion, but it was YOU who prevented him from doing so. As a result, Sonja got absorbed by Virus and the bio-android reached his perfect form."
"But, I was regretted that mistake. Dimitri still saw me as his father and I even acknowledged him as he left back to the future! I ACKNOWLEDGED the boy! Speaking of Dimitri, you claimed that you have already killed him in the alternate future timeline. Well, I'm not convinced. What kind of proof do you have available? I'm willing to bet that you don't. So, why don't you just quit lying and let's get down to the chase? I'm ready to gibe you everything within every fiber of my being. So prepare yourself!"
With that said, the warrior friendship howled out and a bright, metallic blue aura coated his form. The muscles on his body increased and streaked with bolts of electrical power coursing through. His eyes were turning completely white with no irises or pupils to sport. Zeed displayed no intimidation across his face and snickered.
"So, you want proof to convince you that I indeed killed your future son? Well, you should have asked from the get go. Let's see what's behind door number one…"
The Dark God snapped his fingers and a portal materialized at his left side. He reaches inside the open door portal and pulls out what looked like a human body. Immediately powering down, Metalla X gasped in utter disbelief at whom he was laying his eyes upon. Indeed, Zeed was not lying. He had told the truth and is holding a blonde-haired young man. It was Dimitri Ishida, from the alternate future timeline. What made Metalla X even angrier was the appearance of a massive hole through Dimitri's chest cavity.
"NO! DIMITRI! YOU BASTARD! YOU…"
"Aw. Here I thought it would have been nice to see a father and son reunion. You ought to be thanking me, Yamato. Alas, I still get no respect. But, allow me to toss this piece of trash aside."
Zeed hoists Dimitri's lifeless corpse and hurls him down towards the ground below. Immediately responding to this, Metalla X soars down and boosts his speed in order to catch up to Dimitri's plummeting corpse. He caught his future period son's corpse and sets him down gently.
Metalla X lowered his head and whispered a prayer for his deceased son. Zeed has pushed the warrior of friendship way too far. He has lost Mimi, young Dimitri, Keke, Palmon, and Tai. But now he had just laid his eyes upon the deceased form of future period Dimitri. There wasn't anything Metalla X will do to ever forgive Zeed.
"Dimitri. I figured you would have gotten stronger to fend off this son of a… ZEED! YOU BASTARD! In honor of those you've murdered, I WILL CARRY OUT THEIR VENGEANCE! YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THE NAME OF YAMATO ISHIDA! Because, that will be the last thing you hear before I SEND YOU TO YOUR GRAVE!"
Roaring out like an enraged beast from hell, Metalla X races across the skies and the aura surrounding his body explodes into a metallic blue pigmentation. The eyes of Metalla X were now filled with a mixture of anger and furious vengeance. Zeed was prepared to meet the warrior of friendship head on, but Metalla X had other ideas. He instantly vanished out of sight and threw Zeed completely off his guard.
…
Zeed remained frozen for a moment until he felt the vibrations of a low hum coming out from his left direction. The Dark God throws out a punch across and successfully connects on contact with Metalla X's face. The warrior appears out of his stealth mode and was sent hurtling across the heavens. With lighting streaking across the background, these two super powers clashed as if it were a relapse of the ancient battles between Greek Titans.
Metalla X stops himself from flying back any further and flies out across in retaliation. He pushed his hands out across and lets loose an array of energy blasts. Zeed easily maneuvers around each blast. The Dark God was having a blast toying around with Metalla X's emotions and would take advantage of the warrior.
"You're attacks are becoming too sloppy, Yamato! You might want to reconsider a better strategy! What do you say?"
"I suggest you to… SHUT YOUR HOLE! HA!"
Launching himself across, Metalla X slams himself against Zeed's body and unleashes a barrage of devastating punches. They landed their mark on Zeed's God-like body and would have easily broken him down. But this was the Dark God that Metalla X was engaged in combat with. These blows were nothing more than flea bites. Zeed laughed out despite the heavy amount of punishment Metalla X was dishing out.
"My punches aren't even having any effect! I'm putting everything through these punches! My sorrow! My hatred! My anger! For my family! The need to avenge Tai! No! Is this not enough! How can this not be sufficient?"
"Allow me to answer those questions, Yamato."
As he said that, Zeed pushes his left knee upward and deep within Metalla X's abdomen. The air was knocked right out of the warrior's lungs and he was practically gasping out for oxygen. Zeed grabs him by his skull temples and held him up high like a prized trophy.
"Because, you simply don't HAVE what it takes to challenge MY POWER! Your desires to avenge your loved ones will NOT be enough! So, do yourself a favor and SLEEP, Yamato!"
Dropping Metalla X's body by releasing his grip, Zeed followed it up with a kick into the warrior's gut. The force of that blow was enough to send Metalla X plummeting down towards the ground below. However, just before Metalla X's body barely touched the surface, a streak of light passed by and snatched Metalla X just in time. Zeed slanted his eyes but not long before picking up the energy signal.
Reappearing out of stealth mode was War Angemon with Metalla X's arm around his right shoulder. Zeed looks up ahead to see Gallantmon, Kaiser Greymon, Mystic Celesta, Ultima X, Pikkan, BW and the DW-STF. All of them faced Zeed with unrelenting fury. If looks could kill, Zeed would already have been dead by now. However, the Dark God was prepared to meet all of them head on.
"Thanks, Takeru," Metalla X coughed out.
"We just got here in the nick of time," replied War Angemon. "We all came to stop Zeed and there's nothing that is going to hold us back."
"You got that right! Hear that! We're going to settle this through an old fashioned rumble!" Ultima X exclaimed. "You against all of us!"
"Ha, is that a challenge, Daisuke?" Zeed laughed. "You tried that against Saitou and myself earlier. Your pitiful team strategies failed and it will fail you again! Face it! Even if you had Taichi with you, you fools still wouldn't win!"
"We won't need Tai to send you back where you belong!" Kaiser Greymon cried out and wielded his combat sword.
"Ha. You keep telling yourselves that, fools," Zeed nodded. "Fine. If this is the way you want to drag this out, then I'm more than happy to oblige. You're all going to die anyway considering that the darkness will pollute the Earth."
"Why don't you just shut up and fight us if you feel so confident!" Omegamon X calls out.
"Very well, then. I was already growing bored from you're 'all talk' routines. Maybe once I prove my God-like strength, you will be out of my way for good. LET THIS BE THE FINAL NAIL IN YOUR COFFINS, WARRIORS!"
Once he shouted out those threatening words, the Digital warriors quickly sported combat auras coating around their bodies. They were prepared to face their final enemy and perhaps meet their eventual deaths. However, death was no longer a concern to them. Tai had demonstrated two selfless acts in one whole day. If they must then, they will die like heroes.
…

May fate have mercy on their young souls.

Elsewhere, X and Shintomon raced across the heavens in order to find the portal back to the Holy Realm of Azulongmon. They were planning to get together with Gennai to formulate a final back-up plan in case all else fails.
Suddenly, before they could move any further across, a figure quickly intervened and stopped right in front of them. X and Shintomon stopped at their trek to be confronted by the older Keke. She levitated slowly over towards X while holding in her possession the golden orb and the dragon artifact.
"Keke…! What are you doing here?" X gasped. "This is dangerous for you to even be here!"
"Huanlongmon gave us permission to finally leave our posts. I came here to give you these two objects," Keke said as she handed them to the young man.
"What are those?" Shintomon asked. "Wait, that golden orb! Could it be…"
"Yeah, Huanlongmon is finally going to let me reach the power I've craved long to regain! The power of ascendant is mine!"
"I, too, along with Sam, Tike and Kara can also turn into ascendants again. Also, Lord Huanlongmon was kind enough to release the Forbidden Spirit."
"You mean he's managed to release Tyler! Awesome! I bet his power is kept in perfect order?"
"As long as Huanlongmon has been watching him," nodded Keke. "With the orb, you can once again regain the ascendant power. The artifact will be put to use later."
"I see, but I'm positive we will need it eventually. Thanks, Keke. Now I can finally break out of retirement and kick some Zeed ass! Its time to avenge everyone that bastard has taken from us! What do you say, Keke? You up for it?"
"Oh yeah!"
"Hold on you two! We really should get back to see Gennai! X, I'll teleport us there!"
Before X had a chance to answer, the loud voice of Gosenzomon echoed through their minds. The trio winced as they immediately covered their ears.
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You thinking of going back to Gennai and Azulongmon already? Shintomon, I suggest you stay put because there's something important we must do with Lady Moinanea's body."
"With Lady Moinanea… my darling wife?" Shintomon asked.
"You're not going to believe this, but ever since she was killed by Zeed, the Black Digicores have remained intact. In fact, they never turned to stones. Normally when the creator of a set of Digicores is killed or passes on through a natural process, the digicores would instantly turn to stone. According to Lord Seraphimon, they have remained as they are. So, there's a chance we can revive her without using any wishes!"
"Huh, but how are you able to do that?" Keke wondered.
"That doesn't even sound logical. We saw Lady Moinanea die!" X exclaimed.
"Apparently, you aren't getting the picture, X. The body of Lady Moinanea is indeed deceased, but her souls remains…"
"Alive! Are you sure!" Shintomon asked frantically. "She's going to pull through after all!"
"Calm down, before you get wrinkles, dear boy. There is on plausible way to revive the soul of Lady Moinanea: by allow the Black Digicores to become absorbed through her body. If what Lord Seraphimon says is true, then the true goddess will emerge out of the lady. There is word that this goddess is the actual and rightful God of the Digital Universe."
"WHAT!" the trio exclaimed in unison.
Yes, apparently what Gosenzomon speaks of is true. This stunning revelation has Shintomon shocked. The very same Lady Moinanea he had married has an omnipotent being residing inside of her this whole time. It didn't seem at all possible but why would Gosenzomon be lying with a crisis at hand? He couldn't be jerking their chains.
"You mean to tell me Lady Moinanea has a true Goddess form within her? The only way to release her will be through the use of the four Black Digicores, but won't that have any effect on the Digicores' powers. Because the last time they were used, they nearly caused the Earth to detonate until you sent BW and X to retrieve the orbs just in time."
"That's correct, but I can assure this. Breath easy. The Digicores will only become assimilated with the lady."
"How will this effect her own mortal body?" asked Keke.
"It shouldn't have any devastating effects. Only the spirit of the true Goddess will be released. Hopefully, her body will remain intact. Now, are we set for the Black Digicore assimilation process?"
"Already, but where are they? We would need them at our disposal," X suggested.
"Just put. The Three Celestials will be transporting them directly to your current position. First, I have to give them the signal. Sit tight."
The trio awaited for a few moments until four black spheres materialized above them. Since Shintomon carried Ken and Lady Moinanea under his arms, X and Keke managed to catch the Black Digicores in time. They prepared themselves for the next set of instructions to be given to them by the elder digimon.
"Good! So, they were able to transport the orbs over to your world! Wow, I never thought they'd get it done this hastily!"
"Can we get this over with, old man?" X sighed.
"What! Can me an old man! I'm trying to save your little behinds by giving you these important instructions! This just maybe the only other strategy to help the others against Zeed! So far, things aren't looking too great from what I can tell!"
"Ok, we get the point! Now, what do we do now?" Shintomon asked. "We must act now or our comrades will not last much longer!"
"Next, you will have to release the lady from your grip."
"Hey! Last I checked, she is dead! How can you expect Shintomon to simply drop her out of his grasp!" Keke exclaimed.
"Just trust me when I say this, fellows. It's either that or risk the chance of more causalities! The Digital Worlds will eventually become targeted by Zeed! It's now or never. Shintomon. I think you know this is the only way. If we hope to allow the Black Digicores to be absorbed by their creator, then the lady's body must be released from your grip. I know deep down you want what's best for your beloved, my dear boy. So, please… Do it. For all of us…"
Suddenly feeling hesitant to do so, Shintomon knew that he must let Lady Moinanea's body go. However, he didn't want to risk letting her body become damaged from the fall. He truly does trust Gosenzomon's word, but could the Black Digicores actually reawaken the true Goddess within?
"Well, it's now or nothing," sighed the Supreme Guardian. "My lady… Please forgive me for doing this to your body…"
Finally giving in to the pressure, Shintomon removes his arm around Lady Moinanea's waist and lets her body fall from his grip. He closed his eyes as he refused to witness his wife's fall. The lifeless corpse fell further down towards the ground below. X and Keke didn't even attempt to intervene despite the urge to stop the corpse from falling.
However, their glares turned towards the four glowing orbs. Shintomon gasped as he watched the magical Black Digicores dive down faster than the eye could see. They quickly encircled around Lady Moinanea's corpse and unleash four magnificent shining auras.
"Shintomon! Look!" Keke pointed out.
"It looks like it's working!" X exclaimed. "They're getting ready to enter her body!"
"I… I can't believe it! Here I go doubting that old man again."
"Now, you'll learn never to doubt my wise and well thought out planning. You really should give me the credit for this. Otherwise, this whole universe would have been gone."
"We'll give you your medal later, Gosenzomon. Thanks again!" X responded.
The trio immediately turned their gaze over to where Lady Moinanea's corpse levitated. The four Black Digicores encircles her faster and faster until they were finally absorbed through her body. One entered her right arm while the other entered through her left arm. The other became assimilated through her chest. Once the orbs vanished inside her body, a bright blue aura engulfed her form and released what looked like a ghostly image of her mortal self. Except there was slight differences to the released Goddess. Her hair was longer and reached all the way down to her feet. Her eye pupils were a light blue shade with black irises. Her face was more mature than her mortal self's younger child-like appearance. Her body was a little more curved. However, just like her mortal form, her face was plastered with an innocent smile.
"Ah… Ah. Lady Moinanea? I… Is that really you?" Shintomon asked. "I need to know before I have to correct myself."
The Goddess turned towards Shintomon and gives him a comforting smirk.
"You can just call me Goddess Moinanea. This is what my true entity form truly appears. Though, I often chose which form I chose depending on the vessel I possess. This dear pure-hearted lady was the perfect candidate to harbor my soul. Now, I have been restored back out of the body and nearly with all of my powers back intact."
"Wow, she's so beautiful," Keke commented.
"How did you end up being stuck inside Lady Moinanea's body in the first place?" X asked.
"It all started when Zeed entered this universal realm. Just as I was set to ascend to true Goddess status and proclaim my rule over the entire digital cosmos, the Dark God intervened by entering this universe as an invader. Thus, I was prevented from taking royal ascension. I was forced out and needed a body to harbor my soul. So, I would eventually come across this dear child. She possessed a pure-heart like none other and I knew I could entrust her to help nourish my lost soul. It was I that instructed her to enable the Black Digicores to be created in the first place. With their majestic, limitless powers back within me, I have returned and will see to it that Zeed meets his inevitable doom."
"But, will you help us?" Shintomon asked. "We know Lady Moinanea selflessly threw herself in front of the warriors to take Zeed's deadly shots. She sacrificed herself and died a nobly. We ask if you will aid us by defeating Zeed once and for all! He has taken too many innocent lives as it is!"
"Of course. I am here to carry out my duty as the Digital Universe's rightful watcher. As a first act order, I shall see that Zeed pays for the crimes he has perpetrated over the many thousand millennia!"
Bringing her hands forward, a long bow staff materialized in her right hand. Her long blue hair blew against the winds of the heavens. She shut her eyes and started to feel out the numerous amount of energy signals from across the battle. The first she picked up was from none other than Zeed himself. However, she felt another power. This one was located at the exact spot where Omega X was thought to have perished by Zeed's apocalyptic attack. She swifts her attention back on the trio and nodded with a smile.
"It's Taichi! I can feel him!"
"WHAT! You mean he's not dead!" the three called out simultaneously.
"Far from it," Goddess Moinanea spoke out. "Taichi… If you can hear me, please answer me. There is a way that will guarantee Zeed's defeat, but you have reply to me immediately. Taichi. Taichi! Can you hear me?"
Crater Site. Across from Odaiba District. 10:07 P.M.
Deep within the massive crater created as a result o Zeed's devastating attack, a full view of the inner regions within the crater is displayed. It was deep and looked to have reached all the way down towards the earth's core. Fortunately, there was no damage inflicted into the core and the planet remained intact. The crater seemed bottomless at first, but a little further down there appears to be a rock hard ground.
Underneath a pile of debris was a pit hole. Inside this deepened hole was a body. That body belonged to none other than the Warrior of Courage himself! Yes, Goddess Moinanea was correct! The warrior had managed to barely survive the apocalyptic blast and all was not in vain.
Suddenly, the warrior started to move about and licked his lips. That was the first sign of motion to signify that he was not dead. Omega X slowly moved about and opened his eyes to get a blurry vision. He caught glimpse of a ghostly figure with a beautiful, pale face and heavenly turquoise-blue hair blowing against the wind.
"Heh… Am I dead again?"
"Far from it, Taichi."
"Wait, how did you know… Wait! Lady Moinanea! Is that you? So I am in heaven after all. What a relief."
"You're far from dead. In fact, you are still alive."
"Alive! After being struck with an apocalyptic blast like that! I'm even more surprised a guy like Saitou was successful in sending me to the after life. How did I survive?"
"Your will. When that blast detonated against you, your Digi-Mazoku aura shielded you and made certain the sphere could not plunge through the earth. By adding more of your positive energy, the negative power was nullified. Be thankful you are even still alive."
"…So, I'm alive, yet I'm able to see you? How is this possible?"
"I am not the same Lady Moinanea, though I am apart of her."
"I don't understand. Mind explaining to me, since I'm the one with the short attention span."
"Of course, I am the spirit that resides within the lady. This is my true form and I am the rightful watcher of the entire Digital Universe. Goddess Moinanea is what I am referred to."
"Wait…! You're the goddess of the entire digital universe!"
"Yes, but fate would seem that I remain in Lady Moinanea to replenish my omnipotent powers. It was Zeed who drove me away once he entered this universe. His presence severely weakened my power. By taking refuge within the young lady's body, I have managed to regain all of my powers."
"But, how do the Black Digicores come into play here?"
"I gave Lady Moinanea the instructions to create the digicores. I was the conscience that led her down the path of right and just. She played her role well and I am proud of her for carrying out my wishes. The Black Digicores not only grant the wishes one person desires, but they are the tools necessary to restore my Goddess form. I have now once again become one with this universe. However, in order, for me to take my rightful place as the universal watcher, Zeed must be eliminated. That is why I have chosen you as my champion."
"Why me of all people? I'm surprised you didn't pick someone like Takato, Davis, Kari or even X."
"They were likely candidates, but it was you destined to represent me. Takato's Hazard prevented him from becoming my chosen one. Kari has already been selected by another individual. Davis could have also been chosen, but he needs years of more experience to reach your status. X is merely a watcher. You are the Destined Warrior. It would seem Shamanmon was wrong when he predicted Hikari would be the Destined Warrior."
"So, I'm the one…"
Giving a nod to Omega X, Goddess Moinanea continued on, "Yes. X chose you as the one to create the Life Bomb in the first place. That alone convinces me that you are indeed the one I chose as my warrior of justice. Taichi Kamiya. Will you help carry out my will and protect all those within the universe that cry out for peace?"
"…"
"Will you? For the sake of your loved ones? Sora. Max. Your family. Your friends. Their families. The digimon whose souls have not been tainted with Zeed's darkness. Every human being looking for a savior."
"Goddess… Anything. I'll do anything to protect them all. I want to be able to avenge Sora and Max. I love them so dearly for a bastard like Zeed to dictate the fate of our worlds. I WILL not allow Zeed to HURT or KILL anymore people and digimon!"
"I trust in you, Taichi. Your noble heart has convinced me enough. Now, allow us to work this together."
"Work together…?"
"Together we shall call out for the help of nearly every hero across space, time and alternate universes to donate their energy to create the largest purified Life Bomb ever constructed."
"But, I doubt the Life Bomb will do any damage to this guy…"
Giving a faint smile, Goddess Moinanea kneeled over and reached out for the warrior's hand.
"Who said we were going to create another repetitive Life Bomb? I have something else better in mind."
"What do you have in mind, my lady?"
"You will just have to see, Taichi. Will you take my hand and begin the process? We must hurry because your friends are not going to last much longer. Zeed is overwhelming them as it is."
No longer showing a sign of hesitation, Omega X nodded and reached out for Goddess Moinanea's hand. The pairs' hands clasped together directly and then a column of blue light engulfed them both. It looked as if the Holy One had directly sent down a heavenly light to guide them towards the heavens. Omega X felt his ki rising and becoming synchronized with the holy light. Goddess Moinanea got behind the warrior and wrapped her arms around his waist. At first, Omega X felt a bit weary yet he was being soothed by her delicate, maternal hands. A pair of angelic wings sprouted out from her back and slowly started to descend out of the massive crater.
"I feel warm and safe as if Kami-sama were guiding me."
"Well, I am the Kami-Sama of the Digital Universe. Every Sovereign, Holy Beast, Celestial Angel, Higher One and Supreme Guardian pays their respects to one god. So it would seem to be me."
"Wow, who would have thought their god would be a chick?"
"Life's full of surprises."
"I'm honored to be your warrior, my lady. When this is over, will Lady Moinanea's body be restored?"
"Once Zeed is defeated, everything and everyone that perished since the portal to Digital Limbo opened will be restored. That includes everyone Zeed has killed. Even Ken Ichijouji will be restored. You have my word, Taichi. That will be my show of gratitude for helping me to vanquishing Zeed."
"So, what? You want me to ask for the spirit energy from heroes even beyond our universe?"
"Yes, we will require their energy, Taichi. It's the only way for this plan to be put into action."
"Understood. All right! Here goes!"
With that said, Omega X held both of his hands high above his head. The Goddess slowly guided him up out of the hole in order to gather more spirit energy from every life form available across his own planet first.
"Now I have a question. How are we going to convince these other heroes to send their energy? I can only directly send telepathic messages across the Digital Universe and our own universe. Even my telepathy has limitations."
"You live that to me. As an omnipotent being, I have access to any universe I so will to choose. For instance, are you familiar with the heroes such as the Teen Titans, the Justice League, the Z-Warriors, and so forth?"
"Yeah! They're all from the televisions I used to watch!"
"Well, I have access to their universes. Each one has their omnipotent force. I will ask of them to allow their heroes to donate the energy necessary for this ultimate weapon to be created."
"Wow, you're incredible!"
"Yes, but I just hope it will be enough to crush Zeed. This is the Dark God that has the ability to warp space and time. We must make this fast."
"Of course, all you have to do is tell me what to do and I'll follow along."
As the pair descended slowly out of the crater, Omega X felt his hands already starting to gather small portions of spirit life energy. Goddess Moinanea closed her eyes and started to channel through her telepathy to reach out to the outside universes across space and time.
…
…
…
Meanwhile, looking on from above the crater, the trio arrived at the site. X, Keke and Shintomon watched on to feel out the spirit ki being delivered into the crater.
"Yes! It's begun!" X laughed. "This is great! Now that Goddess Moinanea helps out with Tai, Keke and I can get back to helping the others fend off Zeed!"
"Please, be careful you two," Shintomon said. "We can't afford to gain more causalities. The Goddess and Tai will need plenty of time to gather enough spirit ki from every life source on this planet as possible."
"Right! You hear that, X? Time to put that golden orb to good use!"
Agreeing with the girl Keke, X crushed the golden orb in his left hand and became engulfed in a column of golden light. He screamed out as the stinging golden light seeped through his body. The power of ascendant once again was being given to X after such a long wait. As they say, 'Good things come to those who wait'.
After the light column exploded, X emerged out with his hair a golden color and his stiffened hair sticking up in spikes. His eyes became emerald green and the muscles on his body increased along with the power coursing through his veins. He gives Keke a smile and plants a kiss on her lips. She gladly accepted the kiss and embraced the young man.
"Ready to get back into action?"
"You don't have to tell me twice," Keke smirked.
Both powered up bright golden auras and torpedoed across the heavens to aid the other warriors in combat against the Dark God. Shintomon watched the two Ascendants disappear within the distance and sighed.
"Good luck, you guys…"
…
…
…
Back on the other side of the abandoned Odaiba city, a powerful beam shot across to send several bodies plummeting down to the ground below. The fight had now dragged across the city. In fact, it was drawing closer to the exact location where the Digi-Destined watched Greymon battle Parrotmon. It was back to Highton View Terrance. Fortunately, there weren't any people to worry about and thus allowed the warriors to fight with everything in their arsenal.
The warriors who were shot back by Zeed's beam were Pikkan, BW and four of the DW-STF members. Zeed flew across the heavens and slammed a fist across Ultima X's face. The force sent the warrior of miracles plummeting through an apartment portion of Highton View Terrance.
"To think we'd be here again," War Angemon grimaced. "Highton View Terrance. This is the exact spot where Matt and I got a glimpse of our first digimon."
"Who would have thought?" Metalla X scoffed. "Now isn't the time to be remniscining."
"Zeed! Over here!" Gallantmon roared out.
"You mess with one goggle head and you mess with the rest of us!" Kaiser Greymon threatened the Dark God.
"Ha! You goggle heads sure do share one common trait: You're all delusional fools! Your cocky mouths aren't going to get you anywhere!"
With that said, Zeed shoots across and phases out from their sight. One millisecond later, both Gallantmon and Kaiser Greymon were both viciously clotheslined. Zeed reappears above their plummeting forms and blasted them down with a shower of ki blasts.
"Much like Daisuke and Taichi, you two will fall before my God-like might! You will be nothing more than insects who will never wear my jock strap!"
"Takato! Takuya!" Mystic Celesta calls out to the fallen pair. "Zeed! My light will overcome your darkness!"
With that said, Mystic Celesta shot her across downward and powers up a bright pink aura. Zeed turns to face her and remains still. She pulls out her Omega Blade and slashes it across to release a 'Backlash Wave' effect on the Dark God. However, Zeed merely took the attack head on and cancels it out with the dark aura surrounding his body.
"What? No!"
"Are you done yet, Miss Light? I think now would be right for me to retaliate."
Zeed phases out and throws Mystic Celesta off her guard once he reappears in front of her. He snatches her by the neck, hoists her up and goes flying down towards the ground below. With a mighty roar, the Dark God plants Mystic Celesta through the ground in a choke-slam fashioned style.
…
…
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
Mystic Celesta's body NEARLY was broken in half after being planted through the concrete below. Zeed levitates out from the spot and laughs triumphantly. However, his celebration was short lived once Omegamon X intervened. The Royal Knight slashes across with his War Greymon sword, but only managed to slice air. Zeed appears flying across the apartment buildings. Growling in frustration, Omegamon X unleashes an array of energy blasts from his Metal Garurumon arm cannon.
"SUPREME CANNON!"
Once mocking the Royal Knight, Zeed twirls around the apartments and allows the blasts to incinerate everything they touch. The buildings were starting to become reduced to rubble. Normally, their attacks would have already turned the city to an atomic debris mass but they were being careful since there was a chance a few people might still be around the city's sectors.
"Is that the best the DW-STF general can muster? How disappointing."
"Shut up!"
Omegamon X shoots himself across and prepares to blast Zeed away with another Supreme Cannon. However, the Dark God catches Omegamon X's arm cannon and sends a blast through the cannon. As a result, Omegamon X's arm cannon exploded and this caused him to scream out in pain. Losing his arm meant trouble. Zeed takes advantage of his now handicapped opponent and sends him crashing down with a kick to his face.
All that was left was War Angemon and Metalla X. The brothers flew across to attack Zeed head on with an array of fists. The Dark God dodged every blow and countered with blocks effortlessly. Zeed punches War Angemon in the gut, grabs his right foot and hurls him across the city street below. As Metalla X attempted an energy beam, Zeed flies out in front of him and sends him flying back with an energy beam of his own. The warrior of friendship plummets down to the ground and is indirectly met with a shower of ki blasts.
"No! Yamato!" War Angemon calls out.
Zeed levitates down to the street and puts out a hand to shoot another energy blast. This one was meant to finish off Metalla X. However, much to Zeed's dismay, the shot was slapped away and sent hurtling into the heavens. Zeed sneered and saw a group of children emerge with golden auras. Their hair styles were the same golden color and their eyes became emerald green, much like X and Keke demonstrated earlier.
"Ho? Well, looks like they are some reserves after all," Zeed scoffed. "More small fry for me to waste."
"You can hardly call us small fry!" a pair of voices call out from above.
Looking up, Zeed watched both X and Keke descend down. He then caught glimpse of Tike, Kara and Sam emerging out with Metalla X by their side. He recognized the children's faces and cackled.
"Ha! So, you're the spirit guides for the great Huanlongmon! Now amusing! So, the D3s have reunited once again. Except you're missing one member. Oh yes. I forgot I already killed David. The little soul stood no chance against me."
"Zeed! We've watched you kill our families and friends, but that all ends here! We intend to stop you!"
"Well, aren't you a cheeky one, X? But, you should have remained a retired warrior. You clearly stand no chance against me. Neither you or your comrades."
"We might not look like much, but we've saved our side of our reality countless of times!" Keke retorted. "We've taken bastards like you and survived! History will repeat itself here once we stand united against your darkness!"
"My, my. What a touching speech, Mrs. Kyoko Ishida, but let's face it. I have WON as it is! The Digital Universe's best has fallen before me! Taichi is dead and will no longer be considered a factor in the outcome of this battle."
"Oh, how about adding an addition to even out the odds," a deep, demonic voice calls out from behind.
Zeed turns around to see a new warrior standing out. This one did not possess a golden aura or any Ascendant powers. This individual had white armor covering his entire body with armbands, a leg band and a horned helmet covering his face. On his back were a pair of dueling samurai swords. The Dark God felt the mysterious individual's ki and immediately recognized him.
"Ah, Tyler Kanbara. It's good to finally meet you in this realm. Quite frank fully, I never thought Huanlongmon would ever release you."
"Every evil goes, I will follow to burn it ashes. Zeed, your terror has gone on far enough," the warrior roared. "For I, Infernomon, will make you fell the wrath of the INFERNO!"
"Humph, yes I've seen what you're capable of, son of Takuya and Zoe," Zoe laughed.
As soon as Metalla X heard the stunning revelation, he could do nothing more than gasp out.
"What! You mean that guy is the son of Takuya and Zoe!"
"In another world where we come from, he is," Tike said.
"Actually, the Digital World watched over by the three Celestial Angels is a separate world from our own. But yeah, that guy is named Tyler. He inherits the Forbidden spirit," Kara explained.
"Forbidden spirit?"
"Yeah, with that he has a power greater than even us Ascendants," Sam said.
"By the way, I can't help but notice your ki signals. They are similar to our children. No, I can already figure it out. You are our children. Tike, Kara, Sam and Keke. Keke, you're going great. I see you've taken after your dear father," Metalla X chuckled.
"You can say that," Keke smiled. "I may have my mother's taste in fashion but I inherit your fighting spirit and love for music."
"Good. Now maybe with you guys here, we can take this bastard down."
"I'm afraid even we can't make a difference. We only came here to fend him off," X announced.
"Huh? Fend him off?"
"As it stands, even Infernomon can't defeat him," X continued on. "We're only here to…"
"To what?" Metalla X asked until he came into realization of their plan. "Ok, I see. So, it's to bide for more time."
"What's this to bide more time?" Zeed roared. "Time isn't exactly what I have. I want to get rid of this planet already and move onto the Digital Realms."
"No way! We're not going to let you invade the Digital Worlds! We're stopping you here and now!" Infernomon exclaimed.
With that said, the five Ascendants, Metalla X and Infernomon leaped out around Zeed. The Dark God stood his ground despite going against opposing odds. Making his first movements, Zeed takes flight across the heavens. Metalla X followed the beast into an airborne attack with the Ascendants and Infernomon tagging along behind him. Each warrior prepared to unleash their attacks on the maneuvering Dark God.
"How about some of this!" Tike cried out as he clasped his two hands together into a triangular motion. "SHIN! KI-KO-HO!"
Kara puts her hand out over her head and a disc-like object materializes. She hurls it down towards Zeed and clasped her hands together to allow the disc to expand out even further under her will.
"KIENZAN!"
Sam pushes out his hands across and unleashes a powerful ki blast with incredible force. His attack along with the twins' attacks intertwined together to form a massive boomerang projectile with a sharp blade encircling around it. The attack spun around faster than the eye could see and would draw nearer towards Zeed any moment.
Next up, Keke and X were up to attack. Both cupped their hands together at once. Their hands formed blue orbs of ki light. They chanted simultaneously and pushed their hands downward to release the powerful wave-like blasts.
"TSUNAMI WAVE!"
"Good thing I taught you this one, Keke. Looks like you've done your training well, babe."
"Thanks. I'm a quicker learner. I just hope it's enough to stall him."
Their questions were answered as the attacks all struck the Dark God at once. Zeed merely cancelled them out by increasing the intensity of his aura. The warriors scattered across the battlefield and began to shoot out numerous ki blasts from all directions. Zeed merely swatted each of the blasts effortlessly and phases out. He reappears behind Tike and Kara; then he smashes their heads together and sends them plummeting with vicious knees to their guts. Sam attempts a spinning heel kick, but Zeed caught him in him and overpowered him with a vicious running power slam against the side of a concrete tower structure. X and Keke raced across to meet Zeed head on. The Dark God swiftly phases out of thin air. The pair were immediately caught off guard until Zeed finally reappears behind them. They turn around only to be decked with a pair of fists across their faces.
"RAA! You haven't dealt with me! This one's for my mother, Zoe! And for my father, Takuya!" Infernomon voices roared out across the horizon. "RAGE OF THE INFERNO!"
Infernomon smashes his fists together and punches the mid-air, in which turn allowed him to create a massive fire wave. It exploded right out of his hand and sends it right towards Zeed. The force of the blast managed to catch the Dark God off guard and pushes him back. With Zeed straining against the fiery blast, Infernomon took advantage of his occupied adversary. He phases out, pulls out his swords and attaches them together by their handles. Infernomon takes the double-edged weapon and leaps up into mid-air. Zeed looks up and finds Infernomon coming down at him with his weapon.
"INFERNO DOUBLE SLASH!"
Suddenly, within a tenth of a nanosecond, a pair slashes appeared across Zeed. It would seem that Infernomon had finally done in the Dark God.
"All right… He got him…" X spoke out weakly while attempting to sit up.
"No! He didn't!" Metalla X exclaimed. "That tears it! I'm going to take matters to my own hands!"
The double slashes faded away and Zeed simply stood with no damage inflicted on his God-like body. The mighty Dark God shoots himself across and slams a knee directly into Infernomon. The warrior of the Forbidden Spirit felt the wind knocked right out of his body and fell plummeting down. However, that wasn't the last of the warriors. Metalla X was seen hovering above Zeed with his hands stretched out ready to unleash a ki blast.
"You're mine! ICE SHINE-"
Before the warrior of friendship even had a chance to call out the last phrase of his attack, the spikes on Zeed's back shot upwards and impaled them right through the warrior's shoulders, gut and legs. Metalla X screamed out in blood-curling agony. However, that wasn't even the end of the threshold Zeed was going to inflict on him. With one mighty roaring call, a massive voltage of electricity surged throughout his body.
"SUPER THUNDER STRIKE!"
Feeling the devastating effects of the electricity voltage coursing through his body, Zeed roared out happily and watched Metalla X scream out in agony. The eyes on the warrior's face were becoming glazed over until his head dropped to one side. Zeed felt Metalla X's ki drop dramatically and slings his near lifeless form down to where the crater was still located.
Metalla X slid across the concrete and fell flat on his back. He looked across the city and around the Highton View Terrance area. The bodies of his allies were laying. Some unconscious and others were too battered to even consider moving about. To think Matt would die at the same location where he got a glimpse of his first digimon battle.
"Heh, just to think Highton View Terrance would be the perfect place for my grave," Metalla X grunted under his breath. "You guys. D3s. Ugh… Takeru. Tike. Keke. You guys. I know you D3s are the alternate forms of our children and you fought alongside our side. I am thankful, but it just wasn't enough to do this bastard in. If only you guys gave me the energy to fight on."
Looking up ahead at the horizon, the blanket of darkness had completely covered up the planet and blocked every trace of sunlight. The Earth was near its end and it would only be a few moments before the world dies under Zeed's poison. The images of TK, Mimi, Keke, both Dimitris of present and future, Tike and finally even Tai. He slowly rises to his feet despite the massive gaping hole wounds across parts of his body. He held his right shoulder to help clog up the bleeding wound. He licks the blood off his mouth, spat it out and cursed to himself. He caught glimpse of the lifeless corpse of future Dimitri and the crater itself.
"Dimitri… Tai… No, I will not let his bastard continue as he wishes! He will not get away with his crimes! Zeed, you have mocked my friends and family far enough… This is where you end! I, the Digi-Destined of Friendship, will avenge their deaths! THIS ONE'S FOR… MY WIFE, MY SON, MY DAUGHTER AND…"
Laughing out heartily like the heartless villain that he is, Zeed levitates down and lands near Dimitri's corpse. He looks down at the future freedom fighter and spats across his fallen corpse. This had set the spark within Metalla X and he felt his blood boil. Letting out a raging roar, Metalla X flies forward with a fist stretched out.
"THIS ONE'S FOR TAI!"
Metalla X valiantly attempts to mount an offensive assault while throwing out fists at Zeed. The Dark God effortlessly avoided each fist and finds an opening. He sends a knee straight into Metalla X's but and sends the crippled warrior rolling across the dirt. Nearly falling down into the crater, Metalla X stopped and slowly was quivering in pain. The Dark God slowly marched towards the fallen warrior and grinned.
"Since you were such a great sport, Yamato, I'll put you in the same grave as both Dimitri and Taichi. Then you can reconcile your differences with those two for all eternity."
However, rather than whimper, there a small chuckle coming right out of Metalla X's lips. He turns to look up at Zeed without any show of fear and chuckled.
"Don't think I'm going to die so, you dumb idiot… It's not over yet… Taichi, he's all yours…"
As he said that, Metalla X had fallen into unconsciousness. Then out of the crater arose a large, blue sphere. This sphere looked very much familiar and was humming a low sound as if it were a dimming light. Zeed stopped for a moment as he immediately picked up the ki signal. No, he felt two very powerful kis emerging with what a massive orb.
"…What?"
…
…
…
Looking on from afar the other side of the crater, Centaurmon, Piximon, Andromon, Ogremon, Metal Seadramon and Michael watched a massive sphere which seemed to be widened out at a near diameter scale. The heavenly blue sphere emerged out with two individuals hovering out above it.
Shintomon remained at the exact location with Ken and Lady Moinanea under his arms. He gasped out in relief when he watched the orb ascend further up.
"Finally, it has come. Taichi is gathering as much energy as he can from the Earth itself and the life on it. With Goddess Moinanea, he didn't even need to ask the people of earth to donate their energy. She borrowed their energy. Geez, if only she were on our side when the D-Reaper was on the rampage. We're close to victory, my lady. They're going to vanquish Zeed with the Life Bomb! I can feel it!"
…
…
(Play Digimon Adventure Taichi theme I'll Turn my Courage into Wings)
The Dark God gasped out and watched the Life Bomb rising. Underneath the majestic orb of life, Omega X held his hands above his head to collect more spirit life energy. However, he was not alone. Goddess Moinanea grasped her arms around his waist with beautiful, angel wings spreading out with a magnificent wingspan Zeed was looking up at not just the warrior of courage but the true Goddess of the Digital Universe. He was looking up into the eyes of a god with her strongest warrior. If one could say that there wouldn't ever be a miracle, then they would be proven wrong at this one moment. The prayers and cries of the people worldwide had been answered.
Once again looking at the duo, he quickly remembered their faces. Yet, he couldn't make out but realize that Goddess Moinanea was more mature in appearance than her mortal counterpart. The pair he thought he had killed was now back to retaliate an attack of PURE, HOLY POWER.
"NO! WAIT! I THOUGHT I KILLED YOU TWO!"
Letting out a low chuckle, Omega X slowly lifted his head and faced the Dark God with a malevolent grin.
"Heh. I'm not going to die that easily, Zeed… As long as I'm breathing, I'm going to keep coming back until I take your life…"
"ZEED! I, GODDESS MOINANEA, HAVE RISEN OUT OF THE LADY AND HAVE REGAINED MY TRUE, OMNIPOTENT FORM! YOUR VIOLENT AND UNFORGIVING ACTS WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED!"
"Goddess Moinanea! You cockroach! How dare you intervene! You were supposed to be gone from my sight! As soon as I entered this universe, you were nothing to me! What makes you think that you will make any difference! I'll KILL you just like what I did to that little wench of Shintomon's!"
"How sad and pitiful, Zeed. You call yourself the Dark God yet you go and pick off a sweet, innocent demigoddess who was no threat to you. Alas, by taking her life, I was able to allow the Black Digicores to merge with her body to release me. You brought this upon yourself, Zeed! With Taichi by my side, WE together will create a weapon, which will destroy your God-like body and reduce you to the sniveling little insect you truly are!"
"Ha! Just how do you propose you do that? You can't even collect enough energy from this retched planet! My blanket of darkness is covering everything and no trace of light is penetrating through! It's only a matter of time before life here perishes! Then, the Dark Realm will hasten the process and quickly destroy each Digital Realm."
"Since I have returned, I will see to it that you perish, Zeed. I will not just ask for the energy of the digimon and every Sovereign from across the Digital Universe… You see I have my connections with other universes parallel to this one. There are heroes in different universes who are willing to donate their energy to see to it that monsters like you never enter their realms! Prepare yourself, Zeed! This is the end of the line for your reign of darkness!"
Laughing out like a madman, Zeed waved his hands out and spread his darkness out across the heavens. Merely shrugging his threats, Goddess Moinanea turned up towards the darkened heavens and her eyes shot out a pair of bright beams of light. While Omega X gathered more energy from the Earth, the true Goddess' light pierced through the darkness and it resulted in a massive incision. Zeed gasped out as his adversary's light sliced through the darkness and laid waste to the poisoning clouds.
"What! She's… She's cutting through my darkness with her measly light! THAT WENCH! HOW DARE SHE!"
"I told you it is pointless to oppose me, Zeed! You may have more power than me now, but that will soon change. Every pain you have caused will be returned back to you ten fold… Taichi I leave this to you! Gather enough energy from everyone possible!"
"Yes, my lady… I intend to!"
Outer space View of the Earth. 10:14 P.M.
A perfect view of the Earth is fully displayed from an outer space point of view. The light coming from both the Life Bomb and Goddess Moinanea penetrates through the darkness engulfing the planet's atmosphere. If there were beings beyond space, they would be anticipating this very moment and relishing every moment of this miraculous event of epic proportions.
Tokyo Japan . Odaiba/Highton View Terrance. 10: 15 P.M.
The Life Bomb hummed a low, yet loud sound as more of earth's energy was being transferred into massive orb. Omega X stared down at Zeed defiantly despite the Dark God wanting to tear him apart at the very moment.
"Taichi! We must hurry with the process right away!"
"You got it!"
"DAMN! NO! I WON'T LET YOU CARRY ON WITH THIS POINTLESS COURSE OF ACTION!" Zeed roared out like the Devil personified.
"Thank you life on Earth! Now! Digi-Destined of the world! Hear me out! This is Taichi Kamiya! The born leader of the Digi-Destined of Odaiba! I ask… No I beg of you to send your energy to me! The Life Bomb needs your hopes and energy to fuel this baby up! If we continue to let Zeed spread his darkness, all will be lost. The light that shines down over our planet, the miracles of our dreams and the hopes that we share will all be lost! Please, as a fellow Digi-Destined, I beg of you… Share your energy!"
Chapter 212: The Unification of the Chosen Children! The Final Miracle, Galactic X Wields his Gallantry! (Part Two)
Chapter Text
Savior's Palace near main entrance of St. Basil's Cathedral. Moscow Russia. 3:17 P.M.
Upon hearing Omega X's plead, the Russian Digi-Destined trio was not hesitant to donate their energy. Sonya and Yuri rallied on the Russian to point their hands up to release their 'prayers' towards the heavens.
"Yes! That's it! Raise your hands!" Anna exclaimed. "Taichi! If it's energy, you want! Then take it my friend! Anything for our friends in Odaiba!"
"Borscht and Peruski!" Sonya and Yuri chanted out for the rallying crowds.
Hong Kong . The City. 9:19 P.M.
Already hearing out the begging cries of the warrior of courage, the Poi Brothers gathered around a massive Hong Kong crowd together. Soon more and more people arrived at the scene with their hands held up high.
"Brother of Hikari! You want energy! We're giving it to you!" the brothers shouted in unison. "Vanquish this darkness! We the people of Hong Kong believe!"
Border Between India and China. 6:19 P.M.
Doing the same as their Chinese and Russian counterparts, the people of the India/Chinese borders raised their hands after being convinced by Mina, Meramon and a host of other local Digi-Destined.
"Please! Send your energy! The enemy we are facing is greater than Virus and the D-Reaper! If he isn't stopped, the darkness will spread across the planet and all life will be lost! If you wish to be saved, then raise your hands and donate your spirit energy!"
"You don't have to tell us twice, leader of the Digi-Destined!" Mina calls out. "Meramon! Let our spirit give him the power needed to vanquish this darkness!"
"Give us a miracle, Warrior of Courage!"
Paris, France. Palace of Versailles. 2:20 P.M.
Raising her hands up towards the skies, Catherine and Floramon raised their hands without hesitation. She had summoned forth the city's Digi-Destined to join in to help deliver enough energy towards the heavens. They chanted out a happy choir-like prayer alongside smaller children. The spirit energy soared across the skies and was quickly being sent directly towards the direction where the Life Bomb was collecting.
"Taichi! You don't even have to ask! We are happy to oblige! Floramon and I will never forget you!"
"BONNE CHANCE!" Floramon and the crowds chanted out.
Sydney, Australia . The Sydney Opera House Site. 11:20 P.M.
Derek and his fellow Australian Digi-Destined raised their hands accordingly. Crabmon rallied on the fellow digimon to do the same. The waves of spirit energy shot across like stars flying across the heavens. It was a beautiful yet majestic view to behold.
Mexico City. 7:20 A.M.
The same can be said for Rosa and her fellow Mexican people. They delivered their hands to the heavens as if reaching out for God himself. The flow of spirit energy came out from out of every direction within the city.
"Go get him for all of us, Taichi! Kick that PUTO'S ass with our energy!" Rosa laughed out.
"We believe in you, warrior!" Gotsumon exclaimed. "Make this one count!"
New York City. Times Square. 8:20 A.M.
The proud citizens of the United State's largest city were also more than happy to donate their energy. Rallied together by the American Digi-Destined, nearly every person raised their hands together in a unified fashion not seen since 9/11. God Bless America and God Bless the Planet.
"We, America, are happy to share this energy for you, savior!" Phil cried out. "As fellow Digi-Destined, we cannot argue with this crisis! But it is our duty as Americans to ensure that no maniac destroys the planet with his darkness!"
"Make this your biggest and grandest miracle, my friend!" another one of the American Digi-Destined calls out. "Send this bastard packing where he belongs!"
Even people gathered on around the Statue of Liberty sent their energy. They were even awestruck when they saw the flow of spirit energy soaring across the skies.
Worldwide View of Earth. 10:21 P.M.
The Earth itself was becoming intertwined with the flow of spirit energy encircling the planet as if it were a massive atom. The energy was directly being sent only towards the island country of Japan, more specifically Odaiba. This was the hotspot where Omega X was gathering the necessary energy essential to build up possibly the largest Life Bomb ever created.
Outskirts of Tokyo. 10:21 P.M.
Standing together outside the district hotspot of Tokyo, a pair of familiar figures emerged from out of a red convertible. They had recognized this warrior's voice during the battle against the D-Reaper. A taller Yugi Muto emerged out of the car with a blonde-haired teen, a brunette with wavy hair and a tall young man with a pointed hair.
No longer sporting the Millennium Puzzle, since the Pharaoh left back to his past, Yugi was quick to pick up on the voice and raised his hands up.
"Yes! I can definitely recognize this voice anywhere! We donated energy for them necessary to crush the D-Reaper. We'll do so again with the bigger enemy they are facing! Take all of our energy, warrior! We believe in you!"
"Flatten this maniac!" Joey blurted out.
"You can do it!" cried Tea.
"Um… Ice this dirt bag!" Tristan managed to shout out despite not thinking of anything to say worthwhile.
Unbeknownst to them, a teenage brown-haired girl with a yellow winged rabbit raised their hands to send their energy.
"That's it, Sakura! Our energy helped to save the earth once!"
"And it'll do it again!"
Near Mount Fuji. 10:22 P.M.
Standing together at a campsite, the Sailor Senshi in their civilian clothing gathered together. Usagi. Rei. Minako. Makoto. Ami. The five Inners raised their hands simultaneously while lending their ki energy for the fellow warrior of justice. Usagi looks over and notices her boyfriend, Mamoru, doing the same.
On the other side, the Outer Senshi were sending their energy too. Haruka. Michiru. Hotaru. Setsuna. Their energy, too, would join with their other fellow Senshi and become processed within the Life Bomb.
"May you create a miracle for us, fellow warrior of love and justice," Usagi thought.
Unknown Temple away from Tokyo. 10:22 P.M.
Emerging out of the temple, a group of young adult teens stepped out to send their ki energy for the Life Bomb. Amongst them were three of the infamous Spirit Detectives: Yusuke Urameshi, Kazuma Kuwabara and Kurama. Alongside them was a brown-haired girl, a woman in her earlier twenties with a cigarette in her mouth, a shorter blue-haired girl and an old woman.
"Make sure you use this energy to kick that punk's ass!" Yusuke exclaimed. "Too bad we're missing out on the fun!"
"You said it!" Kuwabara agreed. "Anyhow, this guy even asked us to defeat that D-Reaper thing!"
"To think we'd be delivering energy again," Kurama chuckled.
Sitting alone on a nearby tree, Hiei raised his right hand up and scoffed to himself.
"Don't let us down, warrior. I didn't send energy to save this wretched human race, but to protect those close to me. Knock this bastard dead."
Masaki Shrine. 10:23 P.M.
Walking out of the temple was a young man and a group of girls. The boy, identified as Tenchi Masaki, raised his hands above his head and sent out his energy for Omega X to use. A woman with light blue, spiky hair stood by his side to send in her energy, but then a purple-haired lady stepped out beside the young man's other side and shoots the other woman an evil glare.
"Yeah! This is great!" a younger girl with long pigtails cheered. "Our hopes will fuel this guy's energy! I hope he smashes this bad guy! If only Tenchi went out and lent him a hand!"
"I wish we could, but I trust this warrior. I'm sure he can handle this himself," Tenchi stated.
"Yay! We believe in you!" a blonde-haired young woman cheered happily.
"I never thought we'd be doing this again, Mihoshi," a blue-haired lady said while sitting next to the blonde.
"Me neither, Kiyone. Isn't this a privilege to send our energy?"
"If it means sending a maniac threatening the existence of mankind and the universe, then yeah I believe it's the biggest privilege," Kiyone replied.
"Hmmm, this warrior sure sounds like a guy I'd like to experiment with," a shorter, pink-haired lady said. "I have to know the power he wields. I'm anxious to know! But as the universe's greatest scientific genius, even I cannot experiment on him if some maniac decides to destroy the universe! Have no fear, warrior! Take the energy you need!"
Raising her hand, the genius raised her hands and sent in her energy just like the others.
Deep within the forests beyond Mushiyori Forest. 10:21
Having been revived by X's Nexus Emerald, the once deceased Hideto found himself walking across the forest. He head heard Omega X's pleading cry through his mind and raised his hands.
"By doing this, perhaps he can help me find my way back to my own world."
Outside Demon's Cavern. 10:22 P.M.
Following Gosenzomon's instructions, Mari raised her hands above her head and sent in her energy. Buddamon, Arukenimon, Mummymon and Black Gatomon each did the same as a portion of their spirit energy left their bodies.
"Even though, they're hogging my spotlight, I'll let this one slide! Knock him dead, Taichi!" Mummymon calls out to the warrior.
"I sure hope this will be enough for Taichi to defeat this maniac," Mari said. "I can't believe Saitou-san actually aligned himself with such a monster. I made the wrong choice to join Saitou."
"No, you can't blame yourself. You merely joined his cause by choice, but you've been awakened to the truth. As you can see, it was Zeed who had implemented this whole scheme from the start," Buddamon explained. "If anything, Saitou was merely an expendable pawn to him. Zeed cares nothing for you, but by helping us… We can also save your world from becoming a target by Zeed."
"Yes, anything to save my family! Take all the energy you want, Taichi!"
"Taichi. Goddess. I wish you luck. The universe will never be the same when this all said and done," Gosenzomon thought.
Inside Demon's Cavern. 10:22 P.M.
Hearing out the warrior's plead, the last three members of the DW-STF raised their hands. Dynasmon X, War Greymon X and Metal Garurumon X sent in their strong spiritual energy for Omega X to use for his almighty Life Bomb. Oikawa held his hand up and took Sigma's right arm to lift it up. Lillymon X happily raised her hands up high and praised Omega X.
"Yes! We believe, Omega X! I was happy enough to send my energy last time and I'll be honored to do it again! Make our hopes and dreams come true! Destroy the evil that plagues our worlds!"
Eastern Shinjuku. 10:22 P.M.
The Hypnos team emerged from out of their underground facility. Yamaki, Riley and Talley heard the cries of Omega X begging for the energy from every ally that have helped against the dark forces over the years. This trio did their part in donating energy needed to defeat the D-Reaper. Their current enemy was one on a grander scale.
"Send your energy! Please! I beg of you!"
"You hear that, Yamaki?" Riley asked.
"Yes, it's Takato's friend! Tai, to think I vowed to rid this world of digital kind. It would be digital kind that saved this planet over many years. Every threat was defeated by you and your comrades. We helped Takato crush the D-Reaper. Now we'll send you our energy now for the current crisis at hand! Take what you need," Yamaki said while raising his hands.
As soon as he was sending out his energy, Riley was the next to follow.
"Go for it!" Riley cried out.
"We believe in you, Taichi!" Talley exclaimed. "You and Takato are unbelievable! Izzy, if only you were here…"
"It's amazing I would be sending my energy for a second time, but it will go out for a good cause. May a miracle arise out of this or God help us all," Yamaki thought.
Far off from the distance, a ghostly form appeared around the ruins of several street blocks of Eastern Shinjuku, the site where Lichidramon had wrecked havoc one day ago. A blonde-haired girl with a black top and matching dress appeared. Her blue eyes cast across the heavens. She felt the overwhelming power of the expanding Life Bomb. Alice McCoy, the granddaughter of Dolphin, raised their hands to send her energy despite being supposedly missing for years.
"You can do it, warrior. The realm of life and death stands by your side," Alice spoke in a rather low, cryptic manner.
As soon as she donated what energy she had left, her self image fades away. Was she ever to appear again in the real world? That was a mystery yet to be answered.
Outskirts of Tokyo. 10:22 P.M.
With their parents driving on the road, the sibling partners for Impmon, Ai and Makoto, happily raised their hands once hearing Goddess Moinanea's kind words. She had informed them that she was a 'friend' of Impmon, which was the only solution she could use to convince the two kids that their partner was in danger. If she had told the truth, it would have severely affected them. It was a good thing that they believed her words since they were sending out their energy without hesitation.
"You can do it, Impmon!" Ai exclaimed.
"Flatten those bad guys and kick them to the curb!" Makoto cheered for his partner.
Looking out from a Cliffside on the side of the road were four children. These particular four had come into contact with Takuya and his friends. There were three boys named a tall boy, Katsuharu, a kid with glasses, Teppei, and a brown haired boy, Teruo. Along with them was a brown-haired girl named Chiaki. They all held their hands out with their parents looking on from the background completely bewildered.
On the other side was coincidentally Takato's old elementary teacher, Ms. Nami Asaji. Her brown hair fixed into a ponytail. Her outfit consisted of a yellow sleeveless top and blue shorts. Once hearing upon the pleads of Omega X before, she held her hands out once again to donate her energy.
Summercamp Site location of portal to the 01 / 02 Digital World. Outside Tokyo. 10:22 P.M.
This was infamous site where Tai and the Digi-Destined first entered through the Digital World on their first adventure. Surprisingly, the camp was still open despite the years that have passed. Normally, Tai would bring Max out in this camp site.
However, there were other individuals standing across from the site of that particular portal site. Standing out ahead of everyone else were the parents of both Tai and Takato. Susumu and Yuuko Kamiya stood on the left side while Takehiro and Yoshie Matsuda were standing on the right side. Behind them was Rika's mother, Rumiko Nonaka, and grandmother, Seiko Hata. Standing away from them were Henry and Suzie's parents, Janyuu and Mayumi Wong. The sister, Jaarin, and the brother, Rinchei, were standing behind them.
Standing along with Janyuu were all of his old college friends, the Monster Makers. Rob McCoy AKA Dolphin, Goro Mizuno AKA Shibumi, Rai Aishuwarya AKA Curly, Babel and Daisy arrived to lend their support for Janyuu's son and the whole Digi-Destined team.
On another side were Matt and TK's divorced parents, Natsuko Takashi and Hiroaki Ishida. They may have been separate for many years, but they remained united for the sake of their children and grandchildren. Standing behind the Kamiya couple was the Takenouchis, Haruhiko and Toshiko. Away from them were Izzy's parents, Yoshie and Masami Izumi.
Joe's parents were accompanied by the older brother, Jim Kido. Jeri's father, Tadashi Katou, stepmother, Shizue, and stepbrother, Masahiko, were behind the Kido Family. Kazu's parents, Hirofumi and Takako Shioda, raised their hands to send their energy for the sake of their son. The same can be said for Kenta's parents, Shiyunsuke and Akemi.
Mimi's parents, Keisuke and Satoe Tachikawa, stood all the way behind. Alongside them were Davis' parents and older sister, Jun. Behind them was Cody's mother.
Having already arrived on the scene was a group of more parents. These were the parents of the Spirit Digi-Destined, who only just recently came to know that their children were indeed the Legendary Warriors. One of these couples were Takuya's parents, Yuriko and Hiroaki Kanbara, and little brother, Shinya. The father of Kouji and Kouichi, Kousei Minamoto, also arrived; the same can be said for the stepmother of Kouji, Satomi Minamoto. The real mother of the brothers, Tomoko, arrived. Despite differences, they knew that their children were out battling an evil force of destruction. Finally came the parents of Tommy, Zoe and JP. Tommy's brother, Yutaka Himi, stepped out with his parents.
Unfortunately, unbeknownst to most of these wonderful people, their children and grandchildren had been slain by Zeed's unrelenting wrath. Despite that, they did not hesitate to send their energy.
"Go, children! It's all on you now!" Janyuu calls out. "Defeat this engine of destruction and save our planet! We as your families support you to the very end. I just hope this is enough."
"It has to. The future of our children and their children depends on it," Takehiro Matsuda replied.
"C'mon, son. Pull through!" Susumu Kamiya prayed in thought.
Tomochi. Ichijouji Residence. 10:22 P.M.
Once hearing the messages from both Goddess Moinanea and Omega X, Yolei's siblings and Ken's parents ran outside with their other families looking on in bewilderment. Mantarou, Chizuru, Momoe and the Ichijouji parents raised their hands out. Naomi walks outside beside her family in unison.
"Take all you need, Taichi!" the siblings exclaimed out in unison.
"Yeah! Go! Go! Defeat this evil creep and restore my dad!" Naomi cheered out.
Even the baby of Ken and Yolei, Shinobu, crawled outside and waves out towards the skies above. What he didn't realize that he would, too, be donating his own energy for a true miracle to come.
Site of Odaiba/Highton View Terrance. 10:22 P.M.
Omega X stared down defiantly at Zeed as the Life Bomb grew larger and wider beyond several diameters. It was already bigger than the creator himself. Zeed looked up at the warrior and growled angrily.
…
…
Shintomon lowered himself to the ground and sends in his energy. Soon following his lead were Centaurmon, Piximon, Andromon, Ogremon, Michael and Metal Seadramon.
…
…
"Taichi! We're going to need more than just the people of the Earth! The Digital Realms must act and send their spirit energy."
"I know… Here goes…"
(End theme)
Closing his eyes, Omega X was preparing to send a telepathic message out to every digimon across the vast Digital Universe. This included Huanlongmon's territory.
"Digimon across the Digital Universe! Here my call! I will need your energy! Every Holy Beast, Sovereign, Angel Guardians, Supreme Guardians and Higher Beings! We will need your cooperation, too, if you wish to see your realms secured! Please, I beg of you! Send in your hopes and your dreams! Zeed must NOT be allowed to enter your territories!"
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Realm
"Please! I'm begging you! Send in your energy! Stand united and help me slay this great darkness!"
"Azulongmon! I don't think you'd have enough power as it is to send anymore energy?" Gennai asked. "You can't even barely move your body! Damn, if only Zeed didn't absorb the Digicores!"
"Perhaps, you are in need of some assistance."
As soon as he heard a pair of thunderous voices erupt, Gennai found himself surrounded by three shining orbs. One transmuted itself into the form of a giant fiery phoenix bird; another took the form of a two-headed turtle; and the third transformed into a blue majestic tiger. These were three of the mighty Holy Beasts who help Azulongmon guard the Eastern Digital Realm.
"My friends! It's good to see you again!" Gennai laughed happily.
"When one Holy Beast is dying, we feel his pain and anguish," the tiger, Baihumon, said. "When there is a crisis such as this at hand, we cannot allow ourselves to remain hidden. If it's energy the warrior of courage needs, we will be more than happy to oblige."
"Yes, take our energy, warrior!" Xuanwumon spoke out.
"Yeah! Make that no good creep's keester!" the second head spoke out with an Irish accent.
"Send the Dark God down to the fiery abyss of Digital Limbo when this is all said and done," Zhuqiaomon said.
With that said, Gennai and the three Holy Beasts transferred their energy directly to Azulongmon. The holy dragon slowly raised his head up and used nearly the last ounce of strength to send the combined spirit upwards from out of the domain. The energy would then be sent directly through a portal out of the Eastern Digital World and into the real world.
"Even though the doorways are normally closed under our watch, we'll let this one slide. The energy will be sent straight out of this Digital Realm and directly for Earth to fuel Taichi's Life Bomb. Who would have thought the Goddess of the Digital Universe would be reawakened."
"It was a truly magnificent sight," Baihumon spoke. "To think she has rightful supreme authority over the Digital Universe. She asked us to aid Taichi to build the Life Bomb. How can we Holy Beasts turn down such an offer when the Goddess who reigns supreme over our authority?"
"Zeed will pay for his crimes," Gennai nodded. "Tai! Hopefully, you've managed to reach out to every Digital Lord across the universe… Good luck, my friend and may the Goddess protect you."
03 Digital World. Zhuqiaomon's Palace
"Sovereigns! Holy Beasts! As the Goddess of the Digital Universe, I ask you to lend your energy to this fearless and bold hearted warrior asking for your cooperation! Please! We need to defeat the Dark God once and for all!"
Answering to the pleads of both Omega X and the Goddess, Zhuqiaomon and the other three Sovereigns responded selflessly as their raised their auras. A massive surge of spiritual energy emerged from out of the four Sovereigns and was sent directly out of Southern sector through a digital portal provided by a data stream.
However, they were not the only ones to send their energy. Soon every digimon throughout the southern world responded to the Goddess' plead and sent their energy in the masses.
"That data stream should be able to send all of the energy from his world to the human world," Zhuqiaomon. "Warrior. I normally wouldn't be doing this out of my own will. However, if the Goddess asks of us to send in energy, there is no way I can refuse. Warrior of Courage. Tamers. Please, use our energy to save our realm and your own."
04 Digital World. Seraphimon's Castle
Already familiar with Lady Moinanea, the three Celestial Angels raised their hands up altogether. Sorcermon, Bokomon and Neemon joined in unison. Shamanmon made a surprise appearance at the last minute before Goddess made her plead and raised his arms up.
"My friends! Take all the energy you need! You helped to free Lady Moinanea, defeat the M-5 Machine Mutant empire, defeated Bebimon and used the digicores to revive the true Goddess out of her slumber!" Seraphimon calls out. "Yes! Use everything with the fiber of your being to vanquish the Dark God! Our hearts and prayers go to you! May the spirits of the legendary warriors guide you!"
"Who would have thought Lady Moinanea would have harbored an omnipotent being within her?" Bokomon wondered.
"We didn't see it coming since we figured Lady Moinanea was simply a demigoddess with a powerful influence, but the Goddess emerges! I'm willing to bet that she helped to create the Digital Worlds!" Sorcermon theorized.
"Perhaps. For once, I have no prediction for this outcome and the war at hand. It will be all up to fate," Shamanmon said.
"It is a possibility," Ophanimon nodded. "Once Zeed is vanquished, she will be restored to her previous majesty."
"That's if this holy weapon will be enough to send Zeed into oblivion," Cherubimon said.
"We must not give up and lose hope! Our energy will fuel that orb and restore the light over the darkness!" Bokomon spoke out.
"Oooo, lookie at the pretty light!" Neemon gazed up in awe at the spirit energy disappearing through a digital portal.
"Ugh! You dolt! That isn't just pretty little light! That is our own energy that will fuel this Life Bomb!" Bokomon retorted towards his slow-minded friend.
"Goddess. May you help to restore order across time and space. When this is all said and done, we shall show our gratitude for you," Seraphimon thought while crossing his fingers on his chest.
Huanlongmon's Realm. Outside the Temple
Emerging out of his royal temple, Huanlongmon raised his head and unleashed the power of every digicore from his body. Duane raised his hands above his head and joined in to send his energy through.
"Perhaps I was wrong about you, Warrior of Courage. By taking this bold action and under the Goddess' authority, you have my deepest apologies. As a token of my forgiveness, take the power from my digicores and my own spirit energy. You maybe the feared Digi-Mazoku, but at the same time you are the Digital Universe's greatest hero."
Digital Limbo
Once thought to have been killed, Paladin arose out of the debris he was buried under. He had managed to replenish his energy by resting for the past few days. With new energy coursing through his body, he hears out Omega X's plead and raises his hand without hesitation.
"A friend of Takeru is a friend of mine! Take as much energy as you can, Taichi! You and the Goddess are our last hope!"
Northern Digital Realm. Area of the lost Digital World/Digital Knight Empire
This site is historical for being the sector where it's Digital World was destroyed by Burizalor eons ago. This area hasn't had a chance to recover since that catastrophic event. However, the spirits of the dead still take refuge here.
It became apparent that they would answer to the pleads of Omega X's begging for energy. The spirits of the lost Digital Knights appeared and raised their hands to send their spirit energy. Even the ghosts of the deceased warriors: Taito, Sara, Mimiru and Leon appeared. They raised their hands to help Omega X in his struggle against the Dark God. The spirit of Taito was thankful for the fact that Burizalor was finally defeated at the hands of Tai and his Digi-Destined comrades.
"Good luck, Digi-Destined of Courage! The prophecy stated that you and your comrades would crush the all mighty Burizalor. You have avenged me and the Digital Knights. Allow us to repay the favor! Crush the Dark God and all the evil he represents!" Taito exclaimed in thought.
Western Digital Realm Sector. Planet Yvsera
Every citizen and patient from out of the local hospital stepped out to hear the call of Omega X's pleads. Amongst the crowds was the Ogremon doctor, once possessed by Bebimon. He raised his arms up to send out his energy for the warrior's life bomb. Numerous nurses, including Lillymon and Angewomon, walked out to deliver their energy outward and followed Ogremon's lead.
"You can do it, warrior! Restore order and justice to our universe!" Ogremon calls out.
Other side of the Dark Realm. Dark Ocean
The almighty Dark Ocean lord watched the courageous warrior holding out the Life Bomb above his head. He felt it's enormous pure energy growing wider by diameter and already rising towards the Earth's heavens. Dagomon looks on and catches glimpse of Goddess Moinanea. He couldn't help but slightly cower from her purified light.
"So this is the Goddess of the Digital Universe? Finally, she has been reawakened. Her light is so pure that it is vanquishing Zeed's blanket of darkness over the human world. Well, Zeed. It will only be a matter of time. Your downfall is likely to be eminent. You let your overconfidence and hunger for more power to come back to haunt you. You're not just looking into the eyes of a warrior, but also that of a true omnipotent God. Her mighty sword will pierce through your black heart. It'll be quite amusing to see the Dark God cowering in fear… Yes, that day has finally come. Ha. Ha."
01/02 Digital World. File Island. Primary Village
Back at the site where the 01 Digi-Destined became acquainted with their digimon partners, the citizens of the island crowded together in unity. Elecmon raised his arms up and asked for the baby digimon to join together to send their hopes to the cries of Omega X.
Every other digimon, once infected with Devimon's Black Gears, emerged out of the forests to deliver their energy. This included many other familiar faces including Meramon, the Yokomon, Mojiyamon, Frigimon, Sukamon, a reborn Chuumon, Unimon, Drimogemon, Whamon and the Numemon. Each one delivered their energy necessary for the biggest Life Bomb ever produced.
Odaiba/Highton View Terrance. 10:27 P.M.
Already growing larger than the city itself, the Life Bomb levitated slowly into the heavens and penetrated through the thick cloud of darkness covering the skies. Omega X remained poised and concentrated to gather the energy through his weapon. Goddess Moinanea continued to guide the warrior through and spread her angelic wings further out.
"Now what, Goddess? I've already gathered enough energy from this world and all of the Digital Realm…"
"Now, we move on and ask heroes from across different alternate universes to donate their energy. They must do their part to ensure the survival of their own worlds. Since you do not have access to these worlds, I will help guide you with my superior telepathy."
"Arigato, Kami-sama…"
(Play Final Fantasy X theme A Ray of Hope)
Closing her eyes simultaneously with Omega X, Goddess Moinanea proceeds to call forth to nearly every alternate universe, who has access to Digital Worlds, outside of their own. They would ask for their respective heroes to send their energy to power up the Life Bomb even further.
"Argh! Just what do they think… Huh! Oh no! They wouldn't dare!" Zeed roared out. "THEY WOULDN'T DARE!"
"Heroes across space and time! Hear my plead! For I am the Goddess of an alternate universe asking for your assistance! With me is a powerful warrior asking of you to send your energy. If you do not respond to our plead, this force of evil will enter your universes and destroy everything you hold dearly. If you wish to save the lives of your people, then please raise your hands and send in your spirit energy! Please, for the sake of the MULTI-UNIVERSES!"
DCU Earth. Titan Tower . Sector 3098.
Inside the T-shaped building structure famously known as TitanTower, there was a loud noise in what looked like a living room. Two figures were seen sitting on the couch while playing a game of Midnight Racer 3. One of these individuals was a green-skinned kid with a black spandex suit with purple streaks on the side. His are purple as are his boots. He gives a toothy grin while pushing buttons on the controller. The other was a tall, half-human half-cyborg who viciously pressed the buttons on his PS2 controller.
"You aren't going to get me now, Cyborg! I OWN you now!"
"Heh, think again, buddy! This one's mine!" Cyborg laughed.
"You aren't going to beat me for the umpteenth time! This is my destiny!" the green kid named Beast Boy howled.
Looking on from beyond the living room of the Titan Tower were three more people. One male and two females. The male was dressed up in a red, yellow and green outfit. His eyes were covered by a black mask and concealed the color of his pupils. His gloves were green, his yellow cape was strapped on his back and his black hair stuck up. One female was taller with a purple outfit and red flowing hair. The other female was more mysterious with a purple hood and outfit to conceal a portion of her own body.
"How long have those two been going at it?" the hooded female named Raven asked.
"Over sixteen hours and counting," the male, identified as Robin, sighed.
"Um, so why are they playing this again?" the red-head named Starfire wondered.
"How should I know and why would I care?" Raven muttered.
"Don't know about you, but I'm going to take a walk outside," Robin shrugged his shoulders.
Suddenly, the large screen television started going on the fritz and turned into static. Beast Boy and Cyborg howled out in horror as sixteen hour marathon game was cut off abruptly. If there was anything that would make these two gamers fall down and cry on their knees, it would be their video game challenge being cut off short. They had but only one word to say for the whole world to hear.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Well, it's about freaking time," Raven sighed a relief.
"Please, help us!" the voice of Goddess Moinanea calls out from the television.
"Huh? Who said that?" Starfire asked.
"Ok, now I'm hearing things," Beast Boy's ears fluttered open. "Er, hello?"
"Please, help us! Deliver energy for us if you want your planet spared by the great evil!"
"Look! I'm seeing a face of a woman on the screen!" Starfire pointed out.
As Beast Boy and Cyborg turned, they came face to face with Goddess Moinanea with a saddened look on her face. They jumped back in fear and held onto each other in 'scaredy cat' fashion.
"EEK! There's a lady on our TV and she's talking to us!" Cyborg freaked out.
"That's it! No more Ring movies for me!" Beast Boy yelped.
"I beg of you to send your energy and save us! Our universe and your universe will be wiped out if this great evil moves across space and time… I implore you to join in unity… Raise your hands to your television screens, any electronic device or even the heavens. Just simply raise your hands and send your energy to help us create a miracle."
"Um, okay. Now I've seen everything," Raven replied.
"So, what are we going to do? You really think we'd ought to send our energy like this crazy lady suggests?" Beast Boy asked.
"She sounds pretty convincing to me. Haven't we ever turned down an offer to those in need?" Robin walked across the living room.
"No and we're not about to strike this as a prank," Starfire agreed.
"Looks real to me," Cyborg stared at the screen. "It couldn't be a video game."
"That's because it's not and I'm not going to let some great evil enter our universe," the Teen Titans leader said. "If this creep is anything like Slade, then I don't want anything to do with him. You guys… I'm going to offer my energy for this woman. Are you with me?"
Showing a little hesitation, the other Teens Titans finally nodded their heads. They were a team who protected their city from numerous enemies and this was a serious matter to them. A universal power was dead set on destroying their continuity. They weren't going to sit back and allow Zeed destroy everything dear to them. First to send his energy was Robin. Followed by him was Starfire and Cyborg. Then, Beast Boy and Raven did the same.
"As heroes of our city, we the Teen Titans, will not turn down those in need, even if they are from other alternate universes. Take our energy and use them to crush this monster," Robin stated.
"Yeah! Pop this guy like a zit!" Beast Boy blurted out.
"Please, make it work, dear lady," Starfire said.
DCU Earth. Satellite HQ in Outer Space. Sector 3099.
Doing his usual routine of checking on the satellite status of the Justice League Headquarters, the caped crusader of Gotham, Batman, suddenly noticed the computer screens turning into static pictures and then a view of Goddess Moinanea appears with Omega X powering the Life Bomb further.
"What's this?" Batman wondered. "What in the world is this?"
"Please you must help us! Heroes of Sector 3099! We need your energy to fuel this energy ball you see before you. There is an evil force threatening to destroy our universe. If he succeeds, then he will move onto your universe and destroy everything you hold dearly."
"Destroy everything?"
Just then, a red blur came rushing in and stops to look at the screen. This speedy individual is none other than The Flash.
"Hey, what's going on here, Bats? My TV just went on the fritz and this lady shows up on the screen. I was just about to watch some wrestling, too!"
"This lady wants us to donate energy."
"Mind telling me how?" Flash quirked an eyebrow.
"If your wondering how you can send energy, simply raise your hands and spirit ki will be sent directly for spirit ball you see above me."
"Oh, that's it? That's simple. Just like this, right?" Flash said while raising his hands.
As he did so, he felt some of his ki leaving his body and suddenly caused him to become light-headed in the process. He nearly tipped over but managed to grab hold of a chair.
"Flash! Are you all right?" Batman asked.
"Yeah. Just a little light headed, but I'll be fine. Hey, that's quite the trip! Bats, we have to do this. Our universe is at stake here!"
"Well, since everyone in this station has a television or a computer, they easily have access to this woman. I'm sure they are already sending their energy."
"Hum, okay. What about you? Aren't you going to send energy?"
Raising his hand, Batman had answered Flash's question.
"Ok, never mind then. Forget I asked."
Meanwhile elsewhere across the ship, the numerous heroes of the Justice League raised their hands to deliver their energy for Omega X's Life Bomb. Amongst them was Superman. He was a man who can sympathize with the ongoing crisis since he had his conflict with Darkseid. When he caught glimpse of Omega X, he easily saw himself in that situation. He didn't hesitate to send energy for the hero.
"Anyone surviving for the side of justice is a friend of mine," Superman spoke out while delivering his energy.
Soon afterward, many other familiar superheroes joined in. Wonder Woman, Green Latern AKA John Stewart, J'onn, Green Arrow, Supergirl, Captain Atom, Boostergold and many others sent in their energy.
"Good luck, fellow warrior of the alternate universe," J'onn gives his gratitude for Omega X.
…
…
…
Elsewhere across this specific universe, a female stepped out of a palace. This was Hawkgirl, who had left the Justice League previously after the Starcrossed event. She was accompanied by another person. This individual was identified as Dr. Fate. They, too, like the Justice League answered the cries of the omnipotent Goddess and sent in their energy by raising their hands.
…
…
Looking out into the skies, the android Amazo had returned from Earth recently after an attempt to assassinate Lex Luthor. He had returned after getting the answers he was looking for concerning his purpose. He question whether he should send energy but agreed that Zeed shouldn't be allowed to enter their universe. He raised one hand to send in his energy.
…
…
Even the mighty Green Latern Corps. Responded in just and sent their energy. Amongst the Green Latern army was Kyle Rayner. He easily sympathized with the upcoming threat that was to come. A creature like Zeed threatens even the existence of his universe.
"Good luck heroes… It's good to know there are others taking the shield of justice and wielding it against the dragons of darkness," Kyle Rayner said.
Feudal Era Japan . Sector 0934.
Stopping to hear out the calls of Omega X, Inuyasha and Kagome stopped abruptly to recognize his voice.
"Hey, it's him! That's the same guy who asked us to send energy back at my home era. Remember, Inuyasha?" Kagome reminded the half demon.
"No kidding, but who are we hearing in his era? He shouldn't even be alive in this time."
"Well, I say it's a demon trying to trick you," Shippo spoke up.
"I wouldn't be too sure," Miroku replied. "If what Kagome says is true, then this is a concern."
"Especially if she said that a great evil will arise and enter this world," Sango said. "A greater evil than Naraku? We can't allow that to occur."
"Well, the jury is out then. Since I can't fight an enemy I can't seen…"
"That's the spirit, Inuyasha! We'll send our energy for his guy!" Kagome giggled as she held out her hands. "Go! We know you can do it!"
"I think she's lost it," the little fox demon sighed.
"Maybe so, but I've battled a monster from her era and that's all the proof I needed to know there are still monsters out there," Inuyasha replied. "I wouldn't normally be helping out those in need, but this is our world. I'm not going to let a maniac ruin my chance at defeating Naraku once and for all!"
With that said, Inuyasha and the group gathered together to raise their hands high above their heads. Their energy would be sent through a dimensional portal provided by Goddess Moinanea's powers. Then, that energy would be sent directly for the Life Bomb.
"Please! We need more! Heroes of the Multi-Universe! Unite!"
Youko-Earth. Tokyo Japan . Sector 2319
Deep within the city of Tokyo from another alternate earth, a group of children were together at a public park site. One was a girl with goggles on her head, the other is a boy with a cloth over his right eye, a girl with raven hair tied into a ponytail, a boy with a guitar in his hand and a younger boy sitting next to him.
The first to speak was the boy with the bandage over his right eye.
"Other fellow Digi-Destined from another universe asking us to deliver energy to them?" Himura wondered. "This sure doesn't sound fake to me!"
"Yeah! Let's send them our energy, brother," Yui nodded in agreement.
"Besides, we can't let a powerful enemy like this enter our world!" the goggle girl, named Kotori, replied.
"Our world is just as precious is theirs," said Phillipe, the boy with the guitar.
"Well, what are we doing dawdling around for?" the little boy, named Jiraiya, exclaimed. "We aren't the Original Digi-Destined for nothing!"
Nodding their heads in unison, the Original five of this continuity raised their hands altogether to send their energy for Omega X's Life Bomb.
"My friend… As fellow Digi-Destined, we can understand the dilemma. Now use this energy force and destroy this great darkness before it enters our world," Himura said.
"We're counting on you!" Kotori calls out.
XLR-Earth. Jersey City . Sector 2439
The peaceful Jersey City was hot and steaming from the incoming summer heat. However, that peace didn't last as gigantic earthquakes caused the ground to tremble. It was thought to be an actual earthquake, but it was really the footsteps of a giant robot walking across the city.
Indeed, it was a blue armored futuristic robot strolling across the streets of Jersey City. There were noticeable fiery insignias on its arms, legs and body. On top of the robot is a red car to make up for its head. Inside the cockpit of the car were two males and a female. One of them was an overweight twenty-something year old gamer with blonde, spiky hair. The big guy's name is Coop. He is the 'driver/pilot' of his mech. The other male is a black-haired, skinny guy with a lust for space alien chicks. This is Jamie. The female has red hair, green pupils in her eyes and has a futuristic military style space outfit. She is the actual chief designer to this infamous mecha until Coop remodeled it. This is none other than Kiva.
The name of the mecha is M.E.G.A.S, dubbed as the Mecha Earth Guard Attack System.
As usual, Coop and his pals were on their usual routine. Kicking around alien butt and wrecking Jersey City at the same time. However, Coop was in the mood for a nice relaxing trip to a local mart to buy himself an ice cold slush.
"Man, I sure could go for a slush right about now," Coop said with a starched mouth.
"On a hot day like this, I can't say I blame you… for once," Jamie replied.
"We really should be on alert since the Glorft can attack at any given chance," Kiva suggested.
"I haven't heard from those jerks lately after we trashed all of their mechas. Nah, this is my day off from training. Ooo, there it is! The mart! I can feel the taste of strawberry-bubblegum raspberry slush down my mouth right now!"
Before they set a course towards the mart, the monitor screen inside the car started going on the fritz and then Goddess Moinanea's face appears. Coop, Jamie and Kiva took notice of this.
"Please, heroes of Sector 2439. Help us by sending in your energy! This is a great evil at work here and your world is also at jeopardy! Answer to this message by placing your hands on your monitor. I plead for you…"
"Whoa, since when did you get an alternate dimensional satellite installed in MEGAS?" Jamie asked curiously.
"Um… Never?" Coop shrugged his shoulders. "Kiva, what do you mean about this?"
"I'm just as clueless…"
"Please, hurry… There isn't time to lose… No! He's preparing to fire!"
On the monitor, another view is shown and this time it was Zeed. The villain roared out while gathering a massive amount of dark energy through his hands. Kiva was speechless, but Coop and Jamie were confused.
"Say, who come that guy looks familiar?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah, he does look familiar. So, what do we do, Kiva?" Coop said.
"Well, what do you think! If there's an evil force greater than the Glorft that attempts to threaten our universe, then everything within the past, present and future will be erased," Kiva answered. "Of course, I'll donate energy for the right cause. Coop? Jamie? Will you two do the same?"
"Sure, why not?" Jamie said.
"Coop?"
"… Oh that does it! I was just planning on going to the mart and buying myself a slush. Then, this lady comes and interrupts my time! Now, we have some jerk out there threatening to destroy our universe!" Coop ranted out in his usual, crappy dramatic manner. "If this lady wants our energy, oh yeah! She can take it! A hero in need is a friend indeed… Or is that how it goes? I keep forgetting how that old saying goes."
"Send that cliché villain #234 back to the stone age!" Jamie cried out.
"Ugh, what am I going to do with these two? Well, at least, they're doing something for the right cause."
The trio placed their hands on the monitor screen and allowed portions of their life energies to be transferred to the Goddess.
Terra II. Japoness. Sector 3423
Deep within another side of a galaxy from Earth, there resides another planet terra-formed into a human planet colony called Terra II. Here, only men inhabit the planet with no females with the exception of one. All other 'females' are android models called marionettes. They serve to nurture and care for the human males. Unlike real human females, they have no hearts. However, there were few that possess 'hearts' called Maiden Circuits.
Three of them are famous in a city called Japoness, Terra II's equivalent of Tokugawa/Pre-Meiji era Earth Japan. The trio are called the Saber Marionettes, three cyborg girls possessing the Maiden Circuits. They helped to protect Japoness against the rival forces of another city called Gartland. Since then, the Marionettes have been taking life easy with their human master, Otaru Mamiya.
Walking down the outskirts out Japoness and towards a meadow is the playful, pure hearted marionette named Lime. She happily plops on the grass and spreads her limbs out with a goofy, happy smile. Her long dark blue hair was covered by a yellow bandana with a red circular orb on resting on the top. Her outfit is white decorated with patches of yellow with a tight belt around her waist and black shorts reaching down to her knees. Her green emerald eyes stared up into the heavens.
"It's great to finally relax after a hard day's work. Now, I can go play with the 'Squirrelies'!"
Before Lime had a chance to move out, she quickly heard the voice of the Goddess echoing within her mind.
"Heroes of Sector 3423! Please, we need your help! Our universe is in grave danger of being wiped out!"
"What? Is this a joke? Who is this? A new friend to play with, but I don't see you…"
"Please, since you are the only one I can answer to, I need you to raise your hands to send in energy from your Maiden Circuit…"
"Ok, but… Hey, how did you know I have a Maiden Circuit?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't have time to answer your question. Will you offer you're a portion of your Maiden Circuit's energy or not? I know you possess a good soul to help those in need. So, will you…?"
"Well, Otaru always told me to always help those in need selflessly… So, of course! Anything you want, Mrs. Voice!"
Lime obliged to Goddess Moinanea's call and raised her hands up into the air to send out her energy. Just then, a pair of two more female voices call out. They belonged to her two Marionette sisters. One appeared within the horizon as a taller red-haired woman and the other a shorter purple-haired girl.
"Lime! There you are! We've been looking all over for you!" the purple-haired girl, named Cherry, let out a sigh of relief.
"Kid, you nearly had us worrying to death! Um, just what do you think you're doing?" the red head, identified as Bloodberry, stopped in confusion.
"Shhh. I'm sending energy to a kind lady's voice. She sounds like she's in trouble and I'm doing this as an act to help those in need, like Otaru has always told me," Lime answered. "You two should try!"
"Um… Lime. Are you imagining things?" Bloodberry asked.
"Now, what would I lie?"
"Well, it seems so odd. I mean who would deliberately call out through your…"
"Please, heroes of Sector 3423! Send us your energy! We need it to defeat a powerful dark god who is set on destroying your universe if you don't act accordingly! Please, for the sakes of everyones' universes!"
"You see! Bloodberry! Cherry! I wasn't lying!"
"Well, I'm hearing everything. You know what we must do, Cherry."
"Of course. To protect those of Terra II and the universe. Take the energy from our Maiden Circuits!" Cherry calls out.
The marionette trio held their arms out above their heads and felt a portion of their life energy flow out towards the heavens. It would be a matter of time before it joins with the other energy necessary to build up a universal-scale Life Bomb anybody has ever witnessed.
FF7-Earth?. The Northern Crater.
Already gathered together, before their battle with Sephiroth, the AVALANCHE team held their hands out over their heads to send their energy accordingly. Normally they wouldn't be doing this, but since Goddess Moinanea mentioned that Aeris' soul would find eternal peace, they were relieved and believed the Goddess' warning of Zeed's overwhelming presence. Cloud would have never thought of an even greater threat out in another universe that makes Sephiroth look like an insect.
"Cloud? So, you really do believe what this Goddess is speaking of? Another threat greater than Sephiroth?" Tifa Lockhart asked her childhood friend.
"She said that Aeris would find eternal peace but we needed to ensure she does find eternal peace by sending our energy to help a warrior defeat this all powerful wicked god."
"Sounds like that so-called Goddess is jerkin' our chain, foo'!" Barrett Wallace grunted.
"Yeah? Dark God? Zeed? Anybody will believe that!" Cid Highwind laughed.
"Well, I believe!" Red XIII snorted at the two non-believers. "According to my grandfather, there are different universes our there that we are unaware of. Only the stars above will help guide those to different continuities. This Dark God and message seemed real! When she mentioned Aeris, I became convinced further enough!"
"That's the spirit!" Tifa agreed.
"I can't argue against someone pleading for help. There's no way I want this Zeed to destroy our universe. Sephiroth is more than we can handle at the moment," Vincent Valentine stated promptly.
"Besides, I don't want no friggin' Dark God coming by and going whacko on our universe just before we pay a visit to ol' Sephiroth!" Yuffie Kisaragi hollered while she performed her 'shadow boxing'.
"Since we already did our part, let's hope it will be enough to help that guy defeat the Dark God," Cait Sith replied.
"Right! He's got his battle and we have our own! Let's make this one count!" Cloud announced to his team. "Warrior. We did our part in donating our energy. I hope Aeris does manage to lend you a hand… She would be so appreciative once you've sent that Dark God back where he belongs! Let that bastard have it!"
DBU-Earth. West City . Brief Residence at Capsule Corporation. Sector 4585
This earth realm has been peaceful and quiet. It had just been a year since the threat of Majin Buu was vanquished. Everyone, from the humans to even the Z-Warriors, had moved on with their lives. Well except for a few who kept up with their training. The Z-Warriors, more specifically Goku and Vegeta, helped to defeat the evil Kid Buu. Most had used this last year to relax and spend time with their families.
Outside of West City, the home of Capsule Corporations stood out as the biggest financial corporation on the market. Standing outside was a green-haired woman with a red outfit and a pair of yellow boots. By her side was a little boy with silver-purple hair that hung down in a mop. This was Bulma and Chibi Trunks Briefs.
Another noticeable figure was a medium-sized but built man with an odd Troll-like hairstyle. His face was twisted with a slight arrogance and pompous. This is Vegeta, former Price of the near extinct Saiya-Jin race. He walked over to Bulma and Trunks but not long as he felt a familiar presence appear behind him.
Instantly appearing before the Briefs family was a taller man with a built body. His outfit consisted of a red martial arts gi with blue boots, wristbands and a shirt underneath the red gi. His hair was pointy and oddly-shaped. His face, unlike Vegeta, has a bit of a goofy and child-like innocence. Standing by the man's side was a smaller version of himself. This little boy is named Son Goten.
"Yo!" the man, known as Son Goku, waved to the family.
"Hey! It's good to see you, Son!" Bulma replied in delight to seeing her long time friend.
"You, too. We came by for two things. One was to pay a visit but we also came to tell you that I picked up a telepathic message from an unknown source of power outside our own universe. This voice sounded pure and scared. She is begging us to send in energy to help defeat an evil force threatening to destroy their universe."
"I know. I picked up the same message, too, Kakarotto," Vegeta scoffed. "This is just like the battle with Buu."
"I'm afraid this evil force is even more powerful than Majin Buu ever was. That is why I asked Piccolo and Dende to tell Mr. Satan to inform the people of the Earth. I transported to Kaioshin's planet and warned him of the situation. I event old Kaio-Sama to get everyone within the Other World to send their energies, too. I truly believe this warrior this mysterious Goddess is asking us to send energy to will create a weapon stronger than even the Genki-Dama."
"You're serious!" Trunks asked. "Whoa! Did you hear that, Goten!"
"You bet! There's actually somebody like my dad out there saving his own universe! That is so cool!" Goten replied. "What are we waiting for, dad? Let's send them our energy!"
"There's no argument there. What do you say, Bulma? Vegeta?"
"Humph. I normally wouldn't do this for anyone, but if our universe is destroyed then we won't finally settle the score from our last fight."
"I see you still want to finish where we left off. Sure, but you know what we have to do," Goku smiled sheepishly.
"You Saiya-jins will never," Bulma sighed. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get to it!"
Noticing everyone from within West City raising their hands after being implored by Mr. Satan's worldwide announcement, the two Saiya-jin warriors, Bulma and the two demi Saiya-Jins followed in suit.
"Yes! That's it, everyone! Send your energy in!" Goku calls out.
"Argh, that damn Satan," Vegeta growled. "Does he have to always take glory?"
"I still can't believe those morons still believe that guy actually beat Cell," Trunks grunted.
"Yeah, since my brother defeated Cell," Goten agreed.
"Maybe so, but he helped us with the fiasco with Buu," Goku replied. "Warrior! Whoever you are, you're doing a good job protecting your world! You have my respects and let's hope we meet one day. I'd like to go a little one on one!"
…
…
Meanwhile, up towards the heavens, two familiar green-skinned figures stepped out to hold out their hands. These two were none other than Piccolo and Dende. Dende is the current Kami-Sama of the Earth since the original Kami fused back with Piccolo years ago. Even Mr. Popo, Dende's assistant, held his hands out to join in with the Namek pair.
"Make the good spirits guide you fellow Kami-sama," Dende whispered. "Good luck, warrior."
"Vanquish this great evil and bring order to your universe," Piccolo nodded.
…
…
Far off across an ocean, there was an island with a familiar small home owned by the Turtle Hermit and former Budokai champion Master Roshi, as Jackie Chun of course. The old man stood outside the door with his faithful turtle. Also accompanying him was a shorter man with hair and a red martial arts ki, a young woman with blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, and a little girl with pigtails.
"Wow! Other warriors that fight and protect earth just like us?" the short man, named Krillin, snickered. "Awesome! Well, I hope our energy can provide them the power necessary!"
"Waste this monster! We're counting on you to save your universe!" Roshi calls out.
"Interesting and to think we were the strongest," the blonde, identified as Eighteen, replied. "I'd like too who our counterparts really look like."
"Heck, even I'm dying to know, but the best we can do is offer our energy and share it with them. Good luck, heroes!" Krillin exclaimed.
…
…
After hearing upon the announcement from Goku, Gohan and Videl raised their hands out while taking a stroll on the beach.
"Flatten this monster and allow our spirit energy to defeat this force of darkness!" Gohan cries out. "I just hope it's enough, because even Majin Buu was no walk in the park…"
V-Tamer Earth. Tokyo Japan . Sector 3173
Hearing upon the familiar calls of Omega X, Rei Saiba had sat up from a bench and patted her brother's shoulder.
"Neo! It's Taichi! I knew we'd hear him again! He's asking us to send energy to defeat the Dark Zeed Saitou-san had spoken of! It seems he has already began to threaten the existence of that world we left!"
"I say no. Taichi and his friends are of no concern of mine, neither is the Taichi of this world. They are all the same person. I utterly dislike them."
"Please, if we don't do something, there's a chance that monster will arrive here and destroy our universe. Saitou-san has blessed us and taken us in as if we were his children. I may disagree with his methods but I respect the man. Please, for me, Neo…"
"…" the elder Saiba hesitated.
"Neo."
"Fine, but only this once. I'm only doing this for Saitou-san."
Giving to his little sister's demands, Neo raised his hands above his head. Rei soon followed and sent in her energy. He may dislike Taichi, but he wants to reconcile his differences with his little sister. He knew she liked Taichi and would now do anything to please her.
"Go, Taichi! We believe in you!" Rei cheered. "Crush the Dark God and save our worlds! I know you and your comrades can do it!"
TMNT2003/2004-Earth. New York City Sewers. Sector 2365
Deep within the sewers under New York City lived four infamous crime fighting mutants who have built their reputation on their Ninjutsu fighting style. Trained under Master Splinter, a mutant rat with years of martial arts fighting, these four became known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Leonardo. Donatello. Michelangelo. Raphael. Yes, each was named after a Renaissance figure.
Having recently defeating the Shredder in a recent battle, the turtles decided to rest up until another day of training. Donatello was hard at work with developing new gadgets. Leonardo was meditating at a corner within their home. Raphael and Michelangelo were watching television. They were watching Napoleon Dynamite and Mikey couldn't help it. He was bawling out laughing while Raphael rolled his eyes.
"Mikey? Can't you at least give this movie a break? You've watched it for the umpteenth time!" Raphael complained.
"What? Just because I like to entertain myself! I can't help if the movie is so gosh darn hilarious! Man, lighten up and enjoy it, Raph! Ha! Ha!"
"I'm going to go and take a walk out on the streets. This is getting too dull for me," Raphael yawned.
"Well, you could always watch me fix my gadgets if you're so bored," Donatello said.
"Nah, I'm off…"
Just before Raphael had a chance to walk out the exit, the television went out and displayed static. The outcry of Michelangelo was humorous to say the least.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Ha. Ha. I told you that TV would get fed up with that movie too!" Raphael teased his brother.
"Help us, heroes of Sector 2365!" the voice of Goddess Moinanea calls out in plead.
"Hey! Am I seeing things? There's a lady appearing on the television! I don't remember this being apart of the movie," Raphael pointed out.
"That's because she isn't!" Michelangelo exclaimed. "It has to be a ghost! Ack! It's the Ring come to life!"
"Please, do not be fearful. I am only asking of you to send your energy. Please, there is an evil monster attempting to destroy our universe. If you do not act, there's a chance your own continuity will be gone once this evil finds your universe. So, I implore you. As heroes, do your part and save the lives of those crying out for peace. Help to vanquish this great evil!"
"I'm afraid. I can't argue with this," Leonardo speaks out once breaking out of meditation. "I was able to watch the actual battle occur through my mediation. They are waging a great war against this powerful monster threatening their existence. She's correct when she claims our universe will be put at jeopardy."
"Yes, I agree with you, my son," Master Splinter speaks out while walking out of his room.
"You saw it through your meditation, too, Master Splinter?" asked Donatello.
"Yes and this is perhaps the most important battle the entire Nexus faces. We must do our part as heroes to send the energy by holding out hands to the television screen. Come, my sons."
Each giving a nod, the four turtles gathered around their master and held their hands out towards the television screen. The Goddess happily received their spirit ki and intertwined it with her own holy energy.
"Thank you for calling us to help, dear lady and good luck," Leonardo said. "Dealing with the Shredder is one problem, but this monstrosity is even worse. I'm just glad there are other legends out there doing their part to ensure the protection of those searching for heroes. Only a matter of time before we establish ourselves as legendary heroes."
Crimson G-Earth. Emvill USA . Sector 2743
Hearing upon Goddess Moinanea's plead through a telepathic message sent, a group of teenagers gathered on their high school roof. There were freshmen-class teenagers gathered together in a circle. They are known as the Elemental Titans. However, these weren't any ordinary teenagers. They are eight warriors summoned together to battle the evil Valcron that threatens their planet.
The leader of the team, Jake Umara, was in his full Elemental Titan of Flame outfit. He held out his hand above his head to release his inner ki. Joining in were his seven comrades. Amy Angelo, Titan of the Wind. Ryu Orlando, Titan of Lightning. Christina Zeal, Titan of the Waters. Jack Vincent, Titan of the Earth. Lina Grace, Titan of Nature. Sam Guyver, Titan of the Gravity Force. Tanya Winfield, Titan of Ice. All of teens formed a massive circle and released the ki from their bodies to give up energy needed for Omega X to crush an evil greater than the one they are currently engaged in battle with.
"Good luck warrior and may our elemental spirits help you crush this powerful darkness that threatens all of time and space!" the leader, Jake, praised for Omega X's efforts.
Marvel Earth. New York City . Sector 2578
Everyone's favorite neighborhood hero came swinging across the city via his web shooting. He flew across and lands on top of a building and stands out once hearing upon Goddess Moinanea's pleads a few moments ago. Spiderman raised his hands towards the heavenly blue skies and nodded his head.
"Send this piece of trash packing where he belongs!" Spiderman calls out. "Win this one for all of us and may peace be of journey for your universe."
Marvel Earth. Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Sector 2580
After receiving a telepathic message from Goddess Moinanea, Professor Xavier and Jean Grey managed to gather together every mutant in the school to gather outside the grounds. The two telepaths even managed to watch glimpses of the battle taking place against Zeed.
"So, there's an dark force threatening the destruction of the multi-universe, including our own?" Cyclops asked Jean.
"Yes and we must act quickly. Even we are unable to read and tamper with the mind of this monster… All I can say it is filled with a great evil with no shred of remorse. This omnipotent being asks for us to send energy to create an indescribable amount of spirit energy, which is their only weapon available to vanquish this dark force."
"So, who's the name of this bub?" Wolverine said.
"The beast's name is Zeed," Professor Xavier answered. "His force eclipses anything we've come across thus far. If he were to enter our universe, the consequences would be too great. We cannot allow such a monstrosity to wreck havoc and cause panic."
"That's terrible!" Storm blurted out.
"To think there is such a powerful force out there we weren't ever aware about," Rogue shuddered.
"The Professor makes a good point. As heroes of our world, despite our reputations as mutants, we will donate our energy for this warrior and his majesty. This is quite an honor if I do say so myself," Beast nodded.
"Well, I can't argue there," Iceman shrugged his shoulders.
Already holding his hands out to deliver his energy, Wolverine had already beaten the X-Men to the punch. Soon afterwards, every other X-Men and mutant student raised their hands. Professor Xavier closed his eyes to send his final gratitude for Goddess Moinanea.
"Thank you again, Goddess. It's an honor to do our part and help ensure the order of the multi-universe. It'll be pleasure speaking with you again if you manage to pull through. Good luck, my friends."
Meiji Japan Earth Era. Tokyo Japan . Sector 1943
Crowding together outside the Kamiya Dojo, Kenshin Himura raised his hands out towards the heavens. He wasn't alone. A young woman wearing a beautiful kimono walked out to do the same as Kenshin. Alongside them was a little boy with a kendo stick and an older man wearing a red band around his forehead.
"Mrs. Kaoru, Sano, Yahiko. To ensure the future of this country, our energy for this heroic legend will hopefully expel this great evil," Kenshin spoke. "Good luck, warrior! Protect those with the will of your mighty blade of justice!"
AnT-Hunimals Earth. Unknown Forest Campsite. Sector 3745
Deep within the wilderness of a forest away from any closest form of civilization, a pair were taking a small vacation at a local campsite to get away from all the adventures that they had to endure for the past few months. Whether it be waging combat against the WASP terrorist organization or escaping to seek refuge, Terra Bomber and Max Snail were heating up heating up some marshmallows.
Terra is a female wasp with blonde hair tied up into a thick ponytail, even though it looks a bee's abdomen. Her eyes are blue, yet gentle like the ocean, but has quite the cold, rough face of a soldier. Over her head were a pair of cute antennas. Despite being a former member of the WASP team, she still wears her green, military vest with a gray t-shirt not covering her midriff. Her pants are green, cargo military style and her soldier boots were shiny, black. Attached on her back were, of course, a pair of insect wings to help her fly across distances when need be.
Max was of course a snail with green skin. On his head he wore a red cap completely backwards with his ball-balled antenna sticking out through holes of his hat. His shirt is yellow with a brown shell strapped to his back. On his hands were a pair of fingerless, black gloves with only three fingers on each hand. His shorts are brown and kaki with large pockets; his sneakers are black with red toe tips
But, Terra wasn't in the mood for any marshmallows. There was one thing she was craving for… She searched through her backpack and had a puzzled expression across her face.
"Um, Max. Do you know what happened to my Oreos?"
Turning around, Max's mouth was filled with a bunch of Oreos. Some even sticking out of his mouth and dropping into black crumbs.
"Ith duth wdon!" Max mumbled with his mouth full.
"Argh! Open your mouth!" Terra scowled at him as if she were his older sister.
Max responded with a nod.
"I said OPEN!"
With that said, Terra grabbed Max by the neck and started choking him out ala Homer and Bart. Max gagged as her grip tightened around his neck and forced him to cough out mushy cough dough.
"EWWW!"
"Well… Ack… You asked… for it," Max managed to free himself off of Terra's grip.
"MAX! Those just weren't for you!"
"Aw, relax…"
Pulling out of his backpack, Max displayed two McDonalds bags.
"You like Chicken McNuggets, right?"
"Don't tell me that you…" Terra said before coming to a realization. "Hello! What part of 'hiding from the WASPS', did you not understand?"
Looking through the bags, Max responded, "Boy, I love eating fries from the bottom of the bag. I don't know, it just tastes a lot better…"
"MAX!" Terra screamed out, looking like she was about to slap the living taste out the snail's mouth.
Suddenly, much to Terra's surprise, Max shoots his head up like a light. An orange aura flared out of his body.
"Max, your Guyo energy…"
"Whoa…"
"Please, heroes of sector 3745! We need your help! We are currently engaged at war with a dark universal force attempting to destroy us all! If he isn't stopped, your universe will be in grave danger of his wrath! My chosen warrior is engaged in battle and urging you to share your energy for him! I implore you… Please!"
"What is it, Max?"
Max was already viewing the battle taking place through images sent by Goddess Moinanea. Including those of Earth being covered by darkness, the many heroes sending their energy from different universes, Omega X forming the Life Bomb and Zeed unleashing a fury of attacks.
"Whoa! Why am I seeing Omega Shenron and a guy with a Spirit Bomb? He doesn't look like Goku yet he has his power…"
"The Earth you see is that of the Digimon. The being that has taken the appearance of Omega Shenron/Il Shenlong is the final, most powerful form of Millenniumon A.K.A. the Dark, Wicked Time God! The warrior with the Life Bomb is the fusion form of Taichi Kamiya and Agumon. They are currently at level five as the Digi-Mazoku, but even their power isn't enough to make Zeed flinch. The Life Bomb is our last weapon to vanquish this great darkness. Please, by looking into your conscience, send us your energy…"
"Whoa! I hear some battle with a lot of butt kicking, explosions and DBZ rip-off stuff! Hang on… There are some people! A beautiful Goddess and a guy who spiked hair… Asking everyone to share their energy to defeat some weird evil dude… COOL!"
Bouncing to his feet, Max let out a dramatic outburst for everyone across the planet to hear.
"YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, SON GOKU… UH… Oh, I MEAN TAI!"
"Okay… It's official… Those animes ate all of your very limited brain cells.
"No, there is a fight out there. Has my Guyo energy ever been wrong before?"
"Well…"
"Here! Check it out!"
Grabbing Terra's wrist, Max transferred some of his Guyo energy through Terra. Instantaneously, she was able to see the same visions that Max had seen.
"Whoa… Oh my god… I do hear people… Max, this is serious. This spells the end of the universe! Not just theirs, but our own is at grave risk of extinction!"
"What? And I'm not there! Damn those greedy bastards! Hogging all the fun without me?"
"Shut up, moron," Terra sighed. "They need our energy. So let's be heroes and give it to them. Besides, the thought of a maniac like that just wouldn't suite well with me."
"Yeah, yeah. But, dang doesn't he look like Omega Shenron?"
Ignoring his comment, Terra had already raised her hands above her hand to send her energy. Max scoffed and followed it suite. The pair weren't the only ones out within this earth realm that would receive the message from Goddess Moinanea.
…
…
Elsewhere on the Hunimals Earth. Far off within an ocean territory.
There were two more individuals taking a cruise on a cruise boat. On deck, they were appearing to be studying for exams. These two were taking a cruise college, similar to the one used on Road Rules. The pair are revealed to be a male penguin, identified as Chiller, and a female featherless bird, named Mallory.
Chiller is notorious for being a street fighter but is also a studying college student. He travels around on his college cruise also to find and enter any random fighting tournaments that present an opportunity for him to become a skilled martial artist and compete against the world's best. His black feathered body is covered with a white chest. His beak is long and orange; around his neck is a light blue scarf. He has gloves around his hands and a pair of light blue boots for his feet. His eyes are ice blue in pigmentation. Mallory is a bird with, surprisingly, no feathers but she has pink skin. She has pink hair on her head, and around her hair is a small purple bow. Her eyes are large and green with a small, yellow beak. Her current outfit consists of a turquoise blouse and a purple skirt.
As usual, Mallory was helping to tutor Chiller on his usual math routines. How fun…
"Okay, let's try this again. I'm sure you can get this math problem down."
"How can the teacher say that this stuff is easy? Of course, it is to her, she's a freaking math lady."
"Well, you should've asked for my help before. How are you going to pass this class in one month?"
"Ughhh…"
"Look, I'll tell you what. Let's take a break. I think they brought out cherry cakes. Maybe we can ask Trent and Mika for help."
Just then, Mallory noticed Chiller walking off outside and staring off into the oceans.
"Uh… Are you okay?"
"Something's wrong… I hear something calling… I can't hear them clearly. Damn, I just wish I took dad's meditation lessons seriously."
"Hey, if you are really hearing voices, we should call studying a night," Mallory suggested.
"No, really, I'm serious. You're not skilled in handling chi/ki like me, so you wouldn't understand."
"Oh really?"
Before Chiller had a chance to blink, Mallory walked up towards the penguin and glares down at him evilly.
"You saying that I suck?"
"N-n-n-n-o. You're misunder-"
"Oh, you're saying that I'm misunderstanding, huh?"
"No, I-"
"You don't have to say it! You think I'm just a weak little girl that can't do anything you can," Mallory growled. "Well, let you tell you something mister! I can do anything you can do, but in my own way! Watch!"
Mallory pulls Chiller to her side and she leans her back against his chest, causing the male to blush. A couple of people come passing by giggling amongst themselves while looking at the duo.
"Mallory, do you really like me, or do you do this to embarrass me?"
"A little from column A, a little from column B. Now hush, you."
A moment after she closed her eyes, the wind orbits around the deck rough yet gently. So many voices, including the pleads from Goddess Moinanea and Omega X, can be heard, even from the people aboard the ship. The demonic roars from Zeed echoed through their minds.
"You're right, Chilly! Apparently, there's some people joined up with these monsters, and they're battling a powerful evil one that can destroy the universe along with us in it. Those people are asking us to share their energy."
"Hmmm… quite obvious that we have to help out. Hey, how did you learn this?" Chiller wondered.
"Oh, you're not the only one who can use chi/ki energy, except I learned it better. Aqua showed me a way to carry out spiritual voices through the winds by spreading out my chi/ki energy."
"What…? I can barely pull out my chi/ki, and you learned this less than a week?"
"Tee-hee! Don't you just hate me?"
"Yes, I do!" Chiller cried out.
"Hehe. Yeah, I love you, too."
As soon as they finished their conversation, the duo raised their hands towards the heavens with everyone else on board. Their energy was being directly sent to the universe where the final battle is being waged. Lady Moinanea gathered their chi/ki energy to help the Life Bomb grow.
Southern Digital Realm Sector. The Amazon Planet.
Back within the realms of the Southern sector of the Digital Universe, there resided a planet where the strongest of the female digimon warriors have trained. They have been at constant wars with males and had successfully defended their planet against invaders. Their leader is the infamous Athenamon, who has lead the Amazons for many years and built their great reputation as any male digimon's worst enemy. Their only male companions are the Pegasusmon and the Unimon.
Stepping out of her throne room, Athenamon stood out on her balcony and noticed her Amazon sisters standing out in mass. She was wearing blue Greek-armor with yellow streaks around the edges. Her form was completely human with a nicely shaped figure. Her face was perhaps the most gorgeous any digimon could ever gaze upon. Her sapphire eyes were the unique features of this woman. Her light brown hair hung down. On her back and head was the skin pelt of a beautiful, white owl. The wings spread out giving her a sort of angelic appearance. Despite taking the form of a human, she is still technically a full-blooded digimon.
She had managed to receive Goddess Moinanea and did not hesitate to answer to her call.
"Goddess Moinanea. So the true Kami-sama has awakened… It's an honor to have heard from you. It's good to realize the Digital Universe's own Kami is a female. Now, all is right in the world," Athenamon stated. "My Amazon sisters! Raise your hands in the air and send your energy for the Goddess! Her warrior begs of you to share your energy with him! Together, we shall help to vanquish the great evil!"
Roaring out a rallying call, the unified Amazon sisters threw their hands up towards the heavens to send their energy out to empower Omega X's Life Bomb. Athenamon threw out her hands and kindly sent her ki energy for the majestic goddess.
"Goddess Moinanea. Warrior. Destroy the Dark God and restore order to our universe! When this is said and done, perhaps you can help me find the Digi-Destined of Light. Her light is necessary in order to bring prosperity amongst my Amazon kingdom. I must be convinced whether the Child of Light indeed can become an heir for my throne. For now, all we can do is pray. Good luck, warrior. You maybe a male, but you have earned my respect."
FMA-Earth. Sector 1992
Back during the early twentieth century, during the time when alchemy was commonly used. One of which is famous for being called the 'Full Metal Alchemist'.
The Elric Brothers, Ed and Al, had received a message from Goddess Moinanea through the use of an alchemy circle. Mistakenly referring to Ed as the 'younger brother', Ed went into his usual tirades until Al informed her that he was the younger brother. She was quite stunned to realize that Al, as a giant walking armor, was the young sibling.
After convincing them of a great threat that would destroy their planet, Al and Ed obliged. Ed stepped up and offered half of his full energy since Al was nothing more than a chunk of walking armor.
"Thank you, Elric Brothers. We are so greatly indebted to your gratitude."
Naruto-Earth. Sector 1262
Hearing upon Omega X's pleads, the ninja team of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura raised their arms to send their energy for the life Bomb. Even their instructor, Kakashi, was more than happy to send in his energy.
One Piece-Earth. Sector 1451
The sea crew of Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji were amongst many others to donate energy for Omega X.
Trigun-Earth. Sector 3400
The infamous gun-slinging yet no-kill man with a red overcoat and yellow shades listened to the pleads of Goddess Moinanea. The legendary Vash the Stampede is a man who sympathized anything crying out for peace and this matter was no different. He raised his hands and donated a portion of his energy to empower the Life Bomb.
Alternate Digital World. Silesia Continent. Sector 5430
The magical continent known as Silesia is actually separate from every other Digital World. This particular world is alternate from the Digital Universe that is currently being threatened by Zeed. This land is relatively young yet contains some of the strongest digimon one who could to discover. In fact, there are two Gods that once battled for seven days and six nights straight. One represented good, Granasmon, and the other for the dark side, Valmarmon.
Currently, both of this gods have disappeared for a relatively long time. Valmarmon did return but had disappeared once being slain by a powerful ancient warrior. Granasmon's spirit still watches over the young world.
Silesia is inhabited by digimon, pokemon hybrids and a few humans even reside on his young world. Some of which have become local heroes and have built a reputation for defending their territories against the forces of darkness. In the name of Granasmon.
There were a group of individuals standing out after hearing upon Goddess Moinanea's pleads. Amongst them was a Veemon, a small yellow dog named Labramon and a humanoid brown dragon with massive wings spread across his back, a horned helmet and a slightly long snout named Divinemon.
"To think there's something more threatening than the Devil God," Labramon shuddered. "I don't want another Valmarmon to be born!"
"An enemy that could rival Valmarmon?" Divinemon exclaimed. "No way we want somebody like that coming here! Goddess, if it's energy you want to build that spirit ball, then take everything you need!"
"This hero sounds like a great legend just like the legendary warriors! Of course I'll offer you my energy!" Veemon calls out.
Next, a Flareon hybrid mother named Flara stepped out with her Eevee hybrid child, Eva. Having been victims of darkness, these two did not hesitate to raise their hands to send their energy. A female Arcanine hybrid named Canine joined in unity with her friends. Joining her was a male Growlith hybrid child named Growly.
Each of them raised their hands to send their energy for Goddess Moinanea and Omega X's Life Bomb.
The next to arrive out to join the digimon and the pokemon hybrids was an old human man wearing a multi-colored priest outfit with a white robe over it. His hat was white decorated with a multi-colored strap and a purple orb embedded at the top. His face is aged with a grayish beard and mustache. A pair of glasses made up his face. The man walked across while carrying a white cane with a decorative top handle. His mere presence could even compare to the famous Pope of the human world. In fact, he could even be considered the Silesia's version of the Pope. This man is Zera Innocentius, but to many digimon he is known as 'His Holiness Zera'.
He, too, along with a family of three joined in to send their energy for the Life Bomb. The trio included a male Espeon hybrid adult named Espa, a female beautiful Vulpix hybrid named Velene and their son is a Vulpix hybrid named Vulko. They happily offered their energy and chanted a joyous song in unison.
Soon afterward, every hero that helped participate in the battle against Valmarmon held their hands out in unison to aid another universe to defeat their own Dark God.
However, there was one that stood out as a ghostly spirit. He is none other than Granasmon, the God Of Light in Silesia. His appearance is that of a gigantic human-like appearance wearing Priest clothing, ten massive angel wings spread across his back and his eyes are sparkling blue. His mere presence is not just powerful but majestic and miraculous.
He held his hands out above to send his almighty holy energy, which will give the Life Bomb a much needed power boost. Before dropping his hands, Granasmon had these fine choice words to say about the situation within the Digital Universe currently being threatened by Zeed's dark hand.
"Goddess Moinanea. It's good to hear from you, my friend. I see that your warriors have freed you out of the pure-hearted demi-goddess Lady Moinanea. Now the balance of good shall prosper will triumph over the darkness that plagues your universe. You have chosen some fine and powerful warriors. I commend you. If only I had contacted you and your warriors when Valmarmon had rampaged our lands. Speaking of Valmarmon and the darkness… Alas, Zeed. If I still had my body, you would have fallen before me and pay for the crimes you have committed. But, my body is gone while my spirit lives on. It is time for a new warrior to rise up and slain evil that has taken countless lives. Galactic X. Your moment to shine has arisen. Defeat Zeed to bring a future to every world that exists… Good luck, warriors and may the light extinguish this great darkness!"
Shaman-Earth. Tokyo Japan . Sector 2989
Standing out amongst the crowd within the Tokyo crowd was a kid with black hair and a pair of headphones around his head. Beside him was a girl with a red bandana, beads around her neck, a black dress outfit and a pair of sandals. Between these two was a rather short boy with hair reaching down to his sides. A ghostly image of a samurai warrior floated above the boy with the headphones. These four individuals were Yoh Asakura, Anna Kyoyama, Manta Oyamada and the deceased samurai in spirit form, Amidamaru.
"You hear that Amidamaru?" Yoh asked his spirit partner.
"Yes, a warrior calling out for our energy. Shall we do it?"
"I say we do it!" Manta stated.
"Well, whatever," Anna sighed. "After this, we're going to resume your training, Yoh. Plus, you still have dinner to cook, Manta."
Groaning under his breath, Manta raised his hands up to send out his energy. Yoh, Anna and Amidamaru would then join in to donate their spirit energy for Omega X's Life Bomb.
Wolfbane420-Earth. West City . Sector 3266
The earth of this particular universe was similar to DBU Earth. The same heroes inhabit this sector, except there were a few additions. The characters of Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh and every incarnation of the Power Rangers up to the current SDP season. share an inhabitation with the Z-Warriors. There was also a new set of Saiya-Jin children and rather interesting crossover couples no one would ever consider. Such odd couples included Minako Aino with Mirai 'Future' Trunks, Chibi-Usa with Son Goten, Rei Hino with Son Gohan, Makoto Kino with Seto Kaiba, Hotaru with No. 17, Radditz with Haruka, Yamcha with Michiru, Turles with Setsuna, Ishizu with Bardock and even Mokuba with Rebecca. Obvious couple of this particular universe was Usagi with Mamoru, Vegeta with Bulma, Goku with Chi-Chi, Joey with Mai and Yugi with Tea.
The new Saiya-Jins were actually family. There are two brothers, Vega and Solaris. A sister named Nova. The father is named Orion with an earth identity as Ryan Hunter. The name of his mother is Vegitz. Vega's earth name is Vega James Hunter. He currently is going out with Ami Mizuno; Nova dates Marik; and of course, Orion is wedded to Veggitz.
Standing out across to get a perfect view of nearby beautiful mountains, Ami and Vega held their hands out together to send their energy to give Omega X the power boost needed for his Life Bomb.
Since two different earths contained the infamous Z-Warriors, the Life Bomb was now already likely to grow larger than Earth itself. Combine that with every other multi-universe within the galaxy.
These particular universes were simply a few dozen selective worlds sending out their energy. Many others responded to Goddess Moinanea's and Omega X's pleads. The universes of Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Sonic X and Sonic SAT-AM continuities, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, G-Gundam, many other Gundam continuities, Ranma ½ , Saint Seiya, The Slayers, Mega Man NT Warrior, Mega Man X, Street Fighter, Futurama, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Pokemon and many other cartoon/video game/anime worlds are sending out more than enough energy to build a universal-scale Life Bomb. Now, Zeed would feel the wrath of every hero and animated character that stands poised against his dark wrath.
(End theme)
At least one mile above Odaiba/Highton View Terrace. 10:25 P.M.
As Goddess Moinanea concentrated to call out for more energy, Omega X defiantly stared down at Zeed after taking many head on ki blasts. Each could have already vaporized the warrior, but the pure aura of the Goddess helped to shield him from the Dark God's deadly blasts. Much to Zeed's dismay, the entire planet was becoming purified and erased every trace of the dark clouds that once blocked out the sun's radiation. The Life Bomb had already grown beyond the size of Odaiba and continued to ascend further towards the heavens, eventually through the atmosphere into outer space itself. It was truly a miraculous sight to behold. Every hero, from other alternate and multi-universal realities, had joined in to lend their energy to crush the greatest threat to ever exist.
"ZEED! I'm holding the energy of every human, digimon and every other hero from a thousand different alternate earth realities! Thanks to the Goddess, I hold here the purest form of light anyone can ever hope to produce! I hold your fate in my hand! The cry of our worlds have broken up, your darkness has been extinguished and are ready to come down on you!"
"… NO… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Zeed roared violently.
"I hold everyone's hopes, dreams and miracles within this Life Bomb! I hold the energy of everyone that has had to suffer pain, death and torment by the hands of evil monsters like you!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO ME! YOU AND THE GODDESS! THE GODDESS WASN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO COME OUT! THE LADY WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE! NO! I EVEN KILLED YOU, TAICHI!"
Not intimidated by the Dark God's rant, Omega X simply laughed off and formed a grin across his face. Zeed quickly ascended towards the heavens and meet head on with Omega X. He continuously fired away ki blasts in hopes of stunning the warrior.
"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! JUST DIE ALREADY!"
"Lady Moinanea, can you hear me? Have we gotten all the energy from all the alternate earths? Is this all we need?"
"It would seem we have all we need. All that is left to fuel this Life Bomb are the energies of your own fellow comrades. That includes the souls of the ones you've lost to Zeed."
"But, Zeed absorbed them! How can we…"
"Just believe and trust me, Taichi. I promise you that they will be in good hands. I will not go back on my word."
"Okay, Goddess. I trust in you. Here goes nothing. How about this…"
With that said, Omega X channeled through the energy signals of his fallen comrades. Then, once the Life Bomb, grew larger a gravitational force pulled up the bodies of the fallen warriors. Metalla X. Gallantmon. Kaiser Greymon. Ultima X. War Angemon. Mystic Celesta. X. Infernomon. Keke. Kara. Tike. Sam. Even the corpse of future Dimitri was lifted up. Each of their bodies was being pulled. Omega X looks on happily as his friends bodies encircled around the Life Bomb. Zeed was stunned as to what the warrior was planning.
Even though they were unconscious at the moment, energy was also borrowed from the fallen DW-STF warriors. Omegamon X. Rosemon X. Alforce V-Dramon X. Magnamon X. Dukemon X. Each had their energy drawn out and set directly for the expanding Life Bomb.
"What's the meaning of this!" Zeed growled.
"Taichi. Ready?"
"You bet, Goddess. Only a few more necessary items before we're complete."
As soon as he said that, he looked down and watched Ken's corpse being quickly uplifted from out under Shintomon's arm. Shintomon looks on and manages to maintain a grip of Lady Moinanea's body.
"I can't believe it! Is he actually going to do what I think he's doing!" Shintomon exclaimed.
Omega X looks over to Zeed and instantly dimmed his eyes with golden, pure energy. The dragon artifact floated right out of Keke's skirt pocket and descended next to the warrior of courage. Zeed looks on and watches both Omega X and the artifact setting off golden auras of light. Then, beams came shooting across and then…
…
…
…
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
…
The Dark God unleashes an agonizing, blood-curling roar as he felt the data and souls of the Digi-Destined and digimon he absorbed being ripped right out of his body. Zeed attempted to snatch away the souls but Omega X forced them towards him.
"NO! GIVE THOSE BACK!"
Before allowing the souls to become absorbed into the Life Bomb, they quickly materialized into the physical forms of his family, best friends and acquaintances.
Omega X gasped out as he laid his eyes upon Sora, Biyomon and Max floating over at one corner. His heart felt like stopping dead cold once he caught glimpse of his loved ones. He nearly wanted to cry out but he maintained that same cheerful grin.
"Sora…? Biyomon…? Max…? YOU GUYS! Thank goodness!"
"Hi, dad. It's good to see you again."
"I see you've managed to take care of yourself while we were away," Sora giggled.
"So, you want us to help fuel your Life Bomb to form one final miracle?" Biyomon asked.
"Well, dad. You should have just asked," Max smiled. "Together, we'll send this guy to oblivion and save our planet! What do you say, guys? Don't you agree?"
With that said, everyone killed appeared. The Digi-Destined. The Tamers. The Digimon. The Spirit Digi-Destined. Zeed looks on with utter shock once he gazed upon every soul he had absorbed into his being.
"NOOOOO! THEY'RE MINE! GIVE THEM BACK!"
"NO, ZEED! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DICTATE THEIR SOULS!" Omega X roared. "You're through! FINISHED! My loved ones are the last ingredients I need to fully power my Life Bomb!"
"Dad! We're going to give you the power boost! Take our energies and souls! Use them wisely dad and I know you will pull through! Besides, you're the greatest dad a kid could ever have. When this is all over, what do you say we as a family get together and have a big buffet?"
"That's a promise, Max… We'll have a feast and a big party to celebrate!"
"I know you'll live up to your promises, dad. You've never let me down. Well, everyone! This is it! Let's make this count!"
Following that statement, each of the souls from the slain Digi-Destined, Tamers and Spirit Destined entered the Life Bomb one by one. Next, the bodies that encircled the massive sphere were absorbed. Finally, the process was complete and the Life Bomb had already reached towards the earth's atmosphere. The people of Earth and the digimon of the Digital Realms caught glimpse of the ascending orb of life. It had become half as large as the Earth's moon itself.
Zeed stared up at the growing sphere of light and was already seething beyond insane anger. His eyes widened with veins popping out around his head. The aura over his body darkened with intense, dark ki. He couldn't stand the sight of the universal scale Life Bomb.
"YES! HE'S FINALLY GOT IT! THE BIGGEST LIFE BOMB I'VE EVER LAID MY EYES ON!" Shintomon exclaimed. "Way to go! Now all that is left is to strike Zeed down! Finally, everything will be restored to normal!"
"Not just yet," Omega X thought. "It's complete, but there is only one thing left to do…"
"I agree, Taichi. You see that dragon artifact floating next to you?"
"Yes. I've been wondering what that was from the start."
"With the Life Bomb complete, this spirit will enable you to merge with the artifact and the spirit ball."
"But, I still think it's too dangerous. What if I risk destroying my own body?"
"Taichi! Don't start doubting yourself now! You're heart is purified with the light! Despite being a Digi-Mazoku, have you forgotten about the small dose of Saint Light ki you possess? That alone will protect you. Plus, you have me as your guardian angel. Believe me when I say this."
"Oh trust me. I'll never doubt you again. Let's get this over with. Thank you, Goddess Moinanea. Thank you, my friends and family! Thank you, digimon. Thank you, fellow heroes of the multi-universes! Arigato, minna!"
Suddenly, the Dark God quickly started to increase in size and grew nearly as large as the Life Bomb itself. Everyone looking on gasped in utter horror once Zeed had taken a giant form. Omega X looks on and gasped out in shock. Goddess Moinanea watches as her great enemy formed a massive red sphere. Zeed held the massive sphere with his hands held up and he hurled it across directly towards Omega X.
"DIE, TAICHI! DIE, GODDESS! APOCALYPSE WRATH!"
"TAICHI! STAND YOUR GUARD! I'LL HANDLE THIS!"
As soon as Goddess Moinanea spread her wings out around Omega X, the massive apocalyptic sphere slammed against her holy, majestic wings. Zeed looks on happily until the smoke cloud dissipated from his powerful force. His mouth and eyes widened out in utter shock. Omega X remained completely unscathed but Goddess Moinanea's beautiful angelic wings took damage from Zeed's devastating sphere.
"What…? Goddess Moinanea! You would give yourself to protect this mortal! Why!"
"Because… He is my champion… He and his friends will unite as one to extinguish your darkness… Your reign of terror ends here, Zeed! Farewell! TAICHI! CALL OUT: 'EXECUTE! UNITY FUSION SHINKA! EVOLUTION!'! IT'S THE ONLY WAY! It's time to awaken the UNIVERSAL WARRIOR OF ETERNITY!"
Nodding his head in agreement, Omega X looked over to the dragon artifact and calls out the command to unlock the great universal power. Zeed launches himself across in order to prevent the warrior from completing the process.
…
…
…
"EXECUTE! UNITY FUSION SHINKA! EVOLUTION!"
…
…
…
Once that command was said, there was a moment of silence. Then…
…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…

(Play Digimon Frontier theme The Last Element)
The dragon artifact exploded and unleashed a massive green, Chinese dragon. The dragon unleashes an earth shattering scream before becoming one with the Life Bomb. Omega X watched as every crest symbol of his friends and family emerged.
What Omega X saw was Love, Knowledge, Reliability, Sincerity, Friendship, Hope and Light. He looked down across his chest to notice his Crest of Courage emitting a bright, orange aura around where his heart was beating. He could feel the synchronized heart beats from each of his friends. He felt the power of their crest symbols and let out a sigh of relief.
Next, he caught glimpse of the crest symbol of Miracles and Kindness. The two symbols intertwined and joined with the other crests. Next, came the twelve spirits of the legendary warriors and the D-Arcs of the Tamers. The D3 children, both young and older versions, shared their ascendant powers with the warrior. Omega X levitated up along with all the necessary items. They all came intertwined together and underwent the final, ultimate fusion anything the Digital Universe would ever see. Goddess Moinanea levitated away from the massive Life Bomb spinning around over light speeds.
"At last, the final Digital Fusion will come into light… The last miracle needed to vanquish this great darkness… All I can do now is pray and hope. Good luck, Digi-Destined of the Four Generations," Goddess Moinanea said in prayer.
Zeed came closer to reaching towards the Life Bomb sphere, but he was immediately pushed back by a powerful invisible force. The Dark God stopped his trek and looked on ahead to find the sphere beginning to dissipate. He gasped out to find that a single entity was found emerging out of the Life Bomb. The energy and spirit of every hero across space and time had helped to create the universe's final miracle. Yes, that ultimate fusion warrior had finally come into light.
"Courage… Love… Friendship… Knowledge… Reliability… Sincerity… Miracles… Hope… Light… Kindness… Nobility… Flame… Ice… Wind… Thunder… Water… Wood… Earth… Metal… Light… Darkness… The hearts of the Digi-Destined, Original and New… Tamers' Unification… The Ten Spirits of the Ancient Warriors… Our minds, bodies, souls, hopes and dreams have become one… The Four Generations of the Digi-Destined have finally become one… We are the FINAL miracle and the FINAL instrument of your destruction! We…"
Stepping back from the dissipating light, Zeed uncovered his eyes to gaze upon the sight of the unified Digi-Destined. One has to wonder what the final Digital Fusion will really look like. After years of anticipation, that dream has come into realization and Zeed's worst nightmare has come into realization.
Goddess Moinanea looks on with a satisfying smile across her face and whispered under her breath.
"Finally, you have come into light. Now it is time to show you medal, Unified Fusion warrior."
The appearance of the final Digital Fused warrior was a sight to behold. The warrior stepped out and was much larger in height than the tallest building structure on the planet. His armor was truly magnificent. His chest armor was golden and white in decoration with a bright green emerald at the center. His arms were long, muscular in length and equipped with white, armored gauntlets. His hands were black and equipped with hardened knuckles. A pair of War Greymon claws were fully displayed out of the ends of the gauntlets. On his back was an armor with both Gallantmon's Hazard insignia and the Brave Shield Courage Symbol. On his right shoulder was the head of Kaiser Greymon while the left shoulder has the head of Imperialdramon. Underneath his armor was the flesh body form of Omega X.
On his knees were the symbols of the ten elements. On his right knee were the symbols of Flame, Wind, Ice, Wood and Earth. The left knee consisted the symbols of Light, Darkness, Metal, Water and Thunder. Embedded on the sides of his chest armor were the symbols of the Original Digi-Destined: Courage, Love, Friendship and Knowledge on the right side. Sincerity, Reliability, Hope and Light on the left side. The symbols of Miracles, Kindness and Nobility appeared around the waist area. Each symbol dimmed with their respective colors simultaneously.
His back sprouted out at least six wings on each wide. Their wing span was magnificent and stretched out longer than the unified warrior's body itself. The wings were angelic yet slightly metallic, each taking traits from Mystic Celesta, War Angemon and Ultima X. His head looked very much similar to Susanoomon's but had a Gundam-like appearance. His eyes were emerald green with a pair of a yellow thorn-like crest stretching out each side. His fore head has a red-like emerald embedded at the center while acting out as the core. Also strapped on his back was a pair of sword sheaths with what seemed like a pair of swords attached at the ends. There was also a pair of cannons attached at the sides of his abdomen region.
Unleashing a mighty god-like thunderous roar, the warrior's body exploded with a golden aura engulfing his form. However, the golden aura was also covered with lighting streaks and sparkling flashes. His body became outlined within the powerful Saint Light aura. He throws out one mighty swing of his right fist and bellows out a cry to announce his new identity for the entire universe to hear.
"GALACTIC X!"
The Dark God gazed over towards the newly unified warrior and was utterly speechless. Just when he thought Susanoomon and even Omega X level five was enough. This was the final evolution amongst all digimon digivolutions. It was a power very much equal to his own: a power on a grand universal scale!
Goddess Moinanea looks on with a smile on her face and clasped her hands together. Tears of happiness came down her face. The sheer presence of Galactic X caused her to stare in complete awe. All of those spirits, souls and energy from all the heroes across space, time and many alternate earths helped to produce the universe's newest savior.
Now, Galactic X was ready to prove his medal and quickly took a battle stance against the almighty Dark Time God. Zeed was still shocked by the sheer presence of his adversary but quickly regained his calm composure. A smile twisted across his sinister chagrin.
(End of theme)
At last, two universal powers were set to collide and nothing will ever be the same again when this is all said and done. The hopeful final battle of the D-Fusion era was set to commence…
…
…
…
Zeed Millenniummon, AKA The Dark God. Representative of all Evil and Darkness.
…
…
…
Galactic X, AKA the Universal Digital Warrior. Representative of all Good and Light.
(Play Metallica's No Leaf Clover)
(Cue instrumental drum beat in the background for dramatic effect)
…
…
…
"May there be mercy across the universe," Goddess Moinanea prayed. "It's all on you, Galactic X."
…
…
"Humph. So, you're the so called unified Digital Warrior. What an interesting twist," Zeed snickered as his voice was heard echoing across space. "It all comes down to this. After every major battle for the past two decades or so… It all began on File Island and now it all ends here where the fate of the universe is at stake. This is the perfect venue to settle the age old battle between good and evil. Now, who shall come out on top? Surely destiny is reserved for me. I have yet to spread my darkness. Earth is merely the first step. Now, you stand in my way of my destiny, Galactic X. For that I must EXTERMINATE YOU!"
"Is that so? Well, my objective is no different, but I am here to restore order to this universe and across time itself. The Digital Realms will not be plagued by your darkness, Zeed. We INTEND to end your short reign of darkness here and NOW! You can call it destiny, but it is FATE that has combined us together to vanquish the very evil you represent," Galactic X spoke out with the unified voices of every four generation of Digi-Destined. "It ends for you!"
(Cue Drum beats fades and replaced with low tune)
With his eyes dimming with green light, Galactic X's wings stretched out and set off a brilliant aura of heavenly, golden light. He throws his hands forward and waved his hand over while telling Zeed 'to bring it'.
"YES! IT SHALL BE BROUGHT! RAAAAAAAAA!"
(Cue the start of the song)
With that said, the Dark God launches himself forward and unleashes a space-shattering roar. Galactic X managed to hold his stance and awaited for Zeed to implement his first attack. There was a sudden slow motion effect as Zeed sped across orbit and formed two massive energy spheres through both hands. Galactic X places out a hand in order to halt out the attack of the Wicked God. Everything seemed to be rather slowly with comets passing by beyond the galactic background. Then…
…
…
…
…
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!
…
…
…
There was a sudden burst of light exploding across the orbit around the Earth and vibrations that rocked everything within the galactic space. Small asteroids were already incinerated from the sudden outburst of light and consumed completely. A powerful surge of energy sparked with Zeed and Galactic X struggling against each other in a tight grip. The Dark God's face contorted and twisted into a sneer. The unified warrior took advantage of his adversary and slams a knee right into his gut. Zeed gasps and felt the tremendous blow caving into his exposed gut. He staggers backward and spat out a purple-green liquid substance, nothing at all like blood or saliva.
Galactic X dashed forward and delivered a fist across Zeed's face. The force of the blow sends Zeed flying across space, while being sent away from Earth's orbit. Galactic X instantly phases out using the Time Warp, which he inherited from Omega X. He reappears within a tenth of a nanosecond across a hundred light years across space and waits for Zeed to come towards him. Holding his arms up, the unified warrior gathered a large amount of ki energy and formed it into a massive orange sphere. He set his sights on Zeed and hurled the sphere across.
"TERRA SPHERE!"
The sphere flew out across and directly nailed Zeed head on. He roared out and felt the staggering blow of the powerful attack. Galactic X torpedoes across space as he easily caught up to Zeed and delivers a kick to send him crashing through a small asteroid belt.
…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
…
…
…
The entire asteroid belt was instantly being smashed apart by Zeed's flying form. Galactic X shoots across and throws out a massive energy blast to incinerate every asteroid rock in his way. Even the largest asteroid was vaporized into tiny fragments. Galactic X's twelve wings spread across and helped the warrior glide across. He pulls out his cannons and activated their busters. He aimed directly for Zeed and unleashes a fury of energy shots through his right-hand gun blaster.
"POSITRON BUSTER!"
The massive energy blast twirled forward faster than light speed. The blast condensed itself into a massive beam. Zeed looks on as the blast came closer and he throws out a blast to swat Galactic X's attack away. However, Galactic X saw through to Zeed's strategy and waved his hands to the side. The beam made a u-turn and MADE quite the CURVEBALL! Zeed gasped out as the beam struck him across the back. The blast made a powerful impact, forcing the Dark Zeed forward. Galactic X flies across and slams the ends of his gun blasters across Zeed's forehead.
Screaming out in excruciating pain, Zeed felt the blow of the gun blasters' ends. His face was nearly flattened in the process. In fact, there were large dents on the monster's forehead. Galactic X leaps backwards and attaches his gun blasters to his sides. The warrior follows it up and draws out his swords on his back. Twirling around his swords, he stepped out into yet another battle stance and smiled underneath his helmet mask. Zeed growled to himself and throws out his arms to unleash a dark aura.
"ARGH! DON'T YOU TOY WITH ME, YOU RETCHED PIECE OF DATA SCUM! YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME!"
"… What was that just now? I could have sworn you were going to tell me something important. But, I guess you nothing of importance to tell me. How shameful for our last enemy to resort to insults?"
The Dark God heard enough out of Galactic X and disappears through a portal. He quickly resorted to warping his surroundings and resorted to time-space to throw off Galactic X's momentum. The warrior merely chuckled to himself, nodding his head and turns around to find Zeed popping out from another portal. He quickly reacts and slams a fist at Zeed's forehead. The force sent the Dark God flying across space again.
Throwing out his arms, Galactic X summons forth the power of all the original seven crest symbols. Each one dimmed a brilliant aura of light; each with it's respective color. The warrior chanted out the name of each Digi-Destined Crest traits.
"Courage. Love. Friendship. Knowledge. Sincerity. Reliability. Hope. Light. INTERTWINE!"
The eight beams of light shot out into streams and combined together to create a massive sphere. Galactic X grabbed the newly materialized sphere with one hand. He pulls out his right gun blaster and lets loose a single blast that completely shatters the sphere.
"SEEDS OF DESTINY!"
As a result of this, a massive array of comet-like blasts hurtled across with extreme velocity and pounded across Zeed's God-like body. The beast roared out in agony until a blast slammed against his face. Zeed was sent hurtling across until he stopped himself. He searched his surroundings and detected no ki activity from his adversary.
"WHERE DID YOU GO, YOU COWARD!"
"Over here."
Immediately turning around, Zeed came face-to-face with Galactic X's gun blaster pointed directly for his head. The Dark God gasped out with the tip of the blaster pointed at close range for his head.
"MAGNA CRUSHER!"
…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Pulling on the trigger, he sends out a massive blast, which directly nailed Zeed across his face. Rather than incinerating his head, the blast pushed Zeed back with tremendous force.
"NO! THIS CANNOT BE! I AM THE DARK GOD! I AM ZEED MILLENNIUMMON! I HAVE NO EQUAL- Heh, unfortunately for these fools, I always have an insurance policy."
"TERRA BARRIER BEAM!"
(Cue the massive crowd audience applause and last beats)
(End theme)
Cupping his hands out to the side, Galactic X sends out a massive energy blast that roared across space. The Dark God shook out the cobwebs and maneuvered away to the side. The massive blast hurtled across a nearby small unknown planet and slams against it. Within a matter of moments, there was a bright flash expanding across the background and exploding across. Debris of rock and pyro shot across. Zeed chuckled to himself over the 'work' Galactic X had accomplished.
"Congratulations, warrior. You did a FINE job protecting the universe."
"I sensed no life on that planet before I even shot out the blast. I knew you would have dodged that."
"How amusing… Well, I'm not going to rant on how you managed to destroy a planet without any second thought. You've done a splendid job causing damage to my body and giving me a hell of a battle. In fact, you have indeed lived up to your name, Galactic X. However, I haven't lived up to my full potential. I haven't shown my whole power."
"Hum? What do you mean?"
Zeed points out directly towards the sun. He pointed out towards a massive black object moving quickly out of its orbit and towards the two combatants. Galactic X looked across to question what kind of ace the Dark God had planned.
"Just are you planning?"
"I can see you've been using all the muscles on your body except for the one that actually matters," Zeed snickered as he pointed to his head.
"It looks like a sphere of some sorts… Like a planet! But, how did it get there? Did Zeed actually create that while he was covering the planet with his darkness?"
"Very observant, warrior," Zeed answered while reading Galactic X's mind. "Yes, this was a little insurance policy I've been cooking up since I started covering your precious planet with darkness."
"What…!"
"Just observe what this precious pet project of mine will do for me that will ensure my victory!" Zeed laughed while waving his hands out forward.
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU!"
Launching himself across, Galactic X pulls out his swords to attack Zeed head on. The Dark God managed to see through to his offensive attack and pushes him away with an invisible force. He followed it up while waving out his hands into a circle and sending an array of dark energy darts. They shot out across at a rapid pace and started to pierce through Galactic X's armor. The warrior crossed out his arms to protect himself from the devastating blows.
"That ought to slow you down, you fool! There's no chance of you stopping my sphere! This is the last weapon I need to completely destroy your universe altogether! Even the Digital Realms will not be able to withstand this!"
"NO! WE WON'T LET YOU!"
Screaming out, Galactic X's body started to explode with an aura of not just golden but crimson light. The warrior instantly powered up his energy and watched his armor transform into a crimson pigmentation, inheriting Gallantmon's trait.
"CRIMSON MODE!"
Not only has Galactic X's power increased, but his speed would be boosted. The galactic warrior flies across with speed ten times greater than before. Zeed gasped out in shock and didn't even get a chance to blink. A fist came smashing across Zeed and sent him flying across space. The warrior immediately sets his sights directly on the approaching black sphere, which already was looking more like a planet at close range.
"I SHALL WASTE YOUR PET PROJECT, ZEED! YOU HAVE NO WAY OF EVER DESTROYING OUR UNIVERSE WITH THIS!"
Galactic X flew across to where the planet-like sphere was approaching. He channels energy through the twin swords and targets for the center. The sphere was completely black as darkness with no faint light. However, there was a massive white X insignia. It would seem it has taken the form of a mysterious planet what many Astronomers have classified as Planet X.
"First thing to go will be your planet, then you will meet your maker!"
"Ha! Think again!" Zeed laughed.
The Dark God quickly transports out through a portal and manages to reappear in front of his sphere. Zeed points out his fingers to fire away a barrage of deadly blasts. The warrior stopped dead at his tracks and took the blasts head on. The Dark God was taking a page out of Burizalor's handbook and unleashing his trademark energy blasts.
"These are Burizalor's attacks! That's right! You've managed to inherit the souls of the villains we've defeated!" Galactic X roared out.
"You truly are observant, unified warrior! I WILL NOT allow you to destroy this weapon! My destiny to lay waste to this universe has finally come! I have no use for this particular continuity!"
"NO! YOU CANNOT DECIDE THAT!"
"JUST WATCH ME!"
Cupping his hands above his head, the Dark God launches out an ever so familiar red sphere. This one expanded out further until it grew to the size of Earth's moon. The Apocalypse Wrath sphere crackled with intense energy and streaked with electricity.
"DODGE THIS ONE, WARRIOR!"
Tossing out his Apocalypse Wrath, Galactic X's sword attached together to create a massive blade. He swung it across and causes it to expand out as long as Susanoomon's Celestial Blade.
"GALAXIA SWORD!"
The blade sliced through the apocalyptic sphere and cut it down in half. The sphere separated into two halves while detonating on impact. Galactic X quickly threw up a golden barrier, similar to the golden light used by Magnamon and Ultima X respectively.
"MIRACLES SHIELD!"
The recipients of the explosive impact slammed directly onto the warrior's golden shield. Many pellet-like shots bounced off. Galactic X drew out his massive blade and flew across as he planned to pierce it through Zeed's massive sphere. The Dark God seethed angrily and quickly threw out his right hand. A pair of black sword blades materialized in his right hand. He takes them while channeling in the pure evil ki through his body. Zeed roared out as the muscles on his body expanded out and surged with powerful energy. His eyes and seven digicores dimmed with bright, crimson light. A pair of demonic wings, like those of a gargoyle, sprouting out of his back.
"He's channeling through the energy of those swords… Wait! No! It's that sphere! It's increasing his power ten fold! At this rate, his presence will cause a warp across space and destroy the dimensional fabric walls. In turn, other dimensions will enter through our reality and cause every to go out of order. Everything will be destroyed, including our planet! Oh, no! We're not going to let you carry through with your plan!"
Having consumed enough dark energy, Zeed unleashes a scream that throws Galactic X back. He flies across with his twin dark swords and slammed them directly with Galactic X's weapon. The two universal powers struggled against each other until they flew across from each other.
…
…
…
SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!
…
…
…
Two streaks of light sped across the solar system beyond anything near light years. Their sheer magnitude of power from their auras were causing nearly every asteroid, chunks of rock and object being instantly incinerated.
Zeed finds himself circling Jupiter as if he were forming an 'atom-like' rotation. The unified warrior followed the villain on his treks. Galactic X immediately resorts to using the Time Warp, which in turn allowed him to appear in front of Zeed. The villain stopped at his treks and stopped to slash the warrior with his double-bladed sword. Galactic X maneuvers to one side and blocks it out with his blade. Pushing up, Galactic X delivers an elbow smash at Zeed's upper chin. Zeed retaliates with a martial arts kick across the warrior's chest. The force of the kick forced Galactic X to slide away while in mid-space.
The Dark God came charging forward and unleashed a fury of punches. Galactic X responds with his own barrage of attacks. Both super powers traded blows faster than any mortal could ever witness. Their punches caused tremors to occur even out in space. Asteroids attempting to make contact with them were instantly reduced into ashes. Zeed slams his head against Galactic X and slashes his side with his double-edged sword. The warrior howled out in excruciating pain and held his wounded right side. Zeed smelt the 'blood', so to speak, like a shark and slammed a fist across Galactic X's face. The Dark God leaps across and unleashes a barrage of fists, which manage to stun the warrior momentarily.
Meanwhile, the massive X planet was already expanding out further until it was larger enough to surpass the Earth in size. Goddess Moinaea appears before the magnificent structure held her hand out directly towards it. It pushed her away and caused a jolt to surge through her body. After letting out a squeak, the Goddess nodded her head and closed her eyes. Starting to chant an ancient digital language, Goddess Moinanea formed a crystal-like orb from out of her hands. She set it across from the growing planet-like sphere and opened her eyes.
"Majestic ancient powers of the ENIAC network. It is I, Goddess Moinanea, the rightful watcher of the Digital Universe. I have reawakened at long last. The viral program, Zeed, has increased greatly. He has devised a massive weapon of mass destruction, with enough power to waste not just the Digital Realms but the entire human universe. All will be lost if nothing is done. I ask of you to allow me to absorb your ancient powers for us to become one. We must act now because the Chosen Children from all four generations have merged to do battle with the Great Dark God."
Responding to the omnipotent entity's pleads, the orb unleashed a powerful light and engulfed the Goddess completely. She lets out a gasp once she became bathed in it's purified, holy light. A stream of O and 1's encircled her majestic, god-like form. Looking upon herself, she felt more powerful than ever and could do anything her new power desires.
Goddess Moinanea nodded her head and finally realized what she had to do.
"Yes, I understand. Thank you. Now, I have found the solution to this mess. Zeed. Your reign of darkness ends here."
…
…
Back across the other side of space, Galactic X shot himself across and used his other arm to slam his the blade across Zeed's chest. The Dark God laughed it off before retaliating with a boot across the warrior's face. Galactic X falls from the boot and attempts to sit up. Zeed flies up and unleashed a rain of dark energy blasts down upon the warrior. The warrior felt his power suddenly powering down, especially since his Crimson form was fading away.
"Ha! I've managed to knock you out of your crimson form! Perhaps you are not what you claim to be! Face it! You are beaten! I am the Dark God destined to destroy your universe! Nobody, not you or Goddess Moinanea, has any hope to defeating me! NO ONE!" the villain laughed out heartily. "Just take a look! My planet is already expanding and it will soon detonate will a time bomb! Once it goes off, you can kiss your entire existence G-O-O-D-B-Y-E! Ha! Ha!"
Galactic X struggled to sit up and held his injured right shoulder. Pain shot across his body but he wasn't going to give up. This was his last chance to stop Zeed from carrying out with his ultimate plan. There was NO turning back anymore. It was NOW or NEVER. The universe of both the human and digimon race will be wiped out within a matter of moments.
"Now, what do we say we continue, but let's make this clear… Your demise is eminent."
Suddenly, the Dark God felt an enormously powerful presence coming from where his planet was positioned. He gasped out when he sensed the purified ki of Goddess Moinanea.
"NO! THAT COULDN'T BE GODDESS MOINANEA, YET IT IS! WAIT! SO, SHE MANAGED TO MERGE HERSELF WITH THE ORIGINAL ENIAC SENTEIM! DAMN THAT WENCH! SHE'S GOING TO DESTROY MY PLANET! I CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO GO ON!"
Unleashing a deafening roar, Zeed launches himself across from where Galactic X was laying. The Dark God's eyes became possessed like an enraged devil and he quickly saw the angelic form of the Goddess levitating over the planet. Goddess Moinanea waved her hands across and prepares to send out a devastating holy blast.
"NO!" Galactic X roared out. "ZEED! WE'RE NOT FINISHED!"
The unified warrior flies across space in pursuit of Zeed. The two super powers raced across in order to make it towards the growing, yet pre-explosive planet. Galactic X pulls out his cannons and quickly started firing away numerous blasts in hopes of slowing Zeed down. Zeed lets out an enraged roar while unleashing an array of dark blasts to slow Galactic X down. The warrior throws out yet another aura barrier to cancel out the shots.
"GODDESS MOINANEA! YOU WILL NOT DERAIL MY DESTINY!"
"BUT, WE WILL! YOU'RE FINISHED ZEED!"
"Ha! Not for long! With all the necessary dark energy I've managed to collect, I'm going for my FINAL trump card! BEHOLD, YOU FOOLS! DARK UNIVERSAL SHINKA! HA!"
"WHAT!"
As soon as he called out for what sounded like an evolution call, both Galactic X and Goddess Moinanea gasped out simultaneously. Zeed's giant form quickly became encased inside a cloud of dark smoke. His eyes dimmed a crimson aura along with each of the seven digicores. The roars of the Dark God echoed out and his form took on a whole new transformation. Galactic X was flabbergasted at this sudden turn of events.
"Holy… crap…"
"I did not expect this occur!" Goddess Moinanea gasped. "No! I cannot be intimidated! I have work to do! Galactic X! You must do what you can to fend Zeed off while I use the powers of myself and the ENIAC to destroy this planet!"
"Don't worry! We intend to fight this bastard to the finish! I don't care what new form he takes on! The result will eventually come down to him being slain!"
"I know you will get the job done," the Digital Goddess nodded. "Good luck, my Chosen Ones!"
Giving a nod to the goddess, Galactic X turns his complete attention on the bigger challenge at hand. The Dark God had now transformed and taken on a whole new dark form. This one would prove to be even more intimidating than the last.
"All right, now we'll get to see how much uglier this guy truly turns out to be."
As the smoke cloud cleared away, the newest form of Zeed was revealed for all of the universe to bear witness. Galactic X cocked his head up and was flabbergasted at the size of the Dark God. His presence had even transcended that of any 'God' the warrior had ever seen. It was truly astonishing yet frightening. Zeed emerged with his new body, power and all.
(Play FF7 theme One-Winged Sephiroth)
His entire body was coated with a black-grayish tough reptilian hide. It had taken the form of a tall, muscular bipedal dragon with long, skinny limbs It's head erected into a snake-like neck. The head itself was small with the draconian appearance. A pair of Brahma bull horns protruded out from the sides of its head. The wingspan of the beast was truly a magnificent sight to behold. They were wider and longer than the beast's entire body. A pair of three sharp claws was equipped on each wing. Spikes grew out of Zeed's shoulders and appeared deadly as knives. The tail lashed out across to reveal a hook-like attachment at the very end of the tip. The claws on the monster's hands were sharp and deadly enough to tear through a gallant warrior with ease. In fact, this monster's claws were strong enough to even rip through the fabric barriers across time and space. The beast unleashed a thunderous roar, which caused space to tremble under his sheer might.
"Holy… crap…" was all Galactic X had to say.
"Ha! So, what do you think of my new form! Oh, wait… I'm not finished yet."
Suddenly, the dragon's body started to pump like a heart organ as a pair of familiar faces appeared on the monster's chest. They were the faces of many of the defeated villains of the past. Those of Burizalor, Virus, Devimon, Myotismon, Demon, Lucemon, Dark Magimon, Bebimon, Neo Devimon, Piedmon and many others appeared. Each face laughed out heartily as they became witnesses to the final battle at hand. At the center of the laughing heads was the face of Zeed laughing and his crimson eyes dimming.
"There! That's much better! Now nearly all the villains you've defeated will be bear witnesses to this glorious event! For, I, will give them what they've been yearning for many years… THE DEATH OF THE CHOSEN HA! HA! HA! HA!"
"His power has grown tremendously and now he's got all the support from the old enemies we've defeated in the past! How am I going to deal this guy in? Please think here!"
"Dad! I suggest we use my favorite technique: the Tsunami Wave! With your strength and my technique, we along with everyone else can help to throw out the biggest one this universe has ever seen!"
"Well, it doesn't sound like too much of a hassle. What do you say everyone?"
"LET HIM HAVE IT!"
"Guess, it's anonymous then. All right! Here goes!"
Giving a confident smirk, Galactic X waved his hands out in a formation stance. He cups his hands out to his right side and started to chant out for his next attack. Zeed looked on expecting a Terra Beam, but he sensed a different kind of ki energy. There was a blue ball of ki forming around the warrior's hands.
"What's he doing?" Zeed wondered.
"TSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIII-"
"AH-HA! So, that's it! You're going to attempt that petty technique used by that blasted Kamiya child! If you think that's going to say you, then you have another thing coming! ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU TRUE POWER!" Zeed roared out.
The dragon beast opened his mouth and was forming a massive energy blast from the tip of where his mouth was pointing directly at. A massive sphere of red energy materialized and expanded out for all the universe to bear witness.
"WARRIOR! YOUR DOOM HAS BEEN ASSURED! APOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-!"
"-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
The unified warrior concentrated on gathering more of his ki and solely set his attack for the dragon. He throws out his hand forward and exerts an awesome force of blue energy. The blast came shooting out and condensed into a gigantic wave that nearly engulfed his entire surroundings.
"-WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The draconian release the massive apocalyptic sphere from out of his mouth and directly set his target on Galactic X's attack.
The two galactic blasts collided with one another and the struggle between the two forces came into a stalemate. Galactic X and Zeed both exerted both energy through their attacks that even the planets around them were trembling under their sheer might. It would seem Zeed was gaining the upper hand with Galactic X straining with his right arm injured. It was basically similar to the situation when Kari struggled in her final assault on Virus. Only this time, there was much HIGHER stakes than the one during the War Games. This one particular battle was taking place within the ACTUAL universe.
"HA! SO, IT'S COME DOWN TO A REPEAT LIKE THE WAR GAMES! HEH, I'M SURE VIRUS WOULD BE ENJOYING SEEING YOU MEET YOUR DEMISE! ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MY FRIEND!"
The Virus face laughed out heartily like a madman. Zeed gathered more energy from the digicores on his chest and started to increase the strength of his attack. Galactic X strained even further but then suddenly found himself regaining his footing. Zeed looks on as he watched the warrior encircled by a bright aura with flower petals surrounding him.
"What's this?"
"Ha! Apparently you've forgotten that I have the power of Sincerity and Light as my power source. Combining those two attributes will give me the boost I need! Not to mention that my wound will heal!"
"Ha! Yes, but even then you will be too caught up with healing yourself. It won't be long before my attack will consume you!"
"Don't… get… carried… away, Zeed."
Throwing out his left right hand, Galactic X used the powers from Sincerity and Light to heal his injured right arm. He brought out both hands to help push back on the attack towards Zeed. The warrior was fully back in good health and prepared to finish this battle. The Dark God gasped out when he felt Galactic X gaining his second wind.
"NANI! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!"
"I'm regaining my momentum, you idiot! I TOLD YOU! DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY!"
"Don't you mock me, you little insect! You are nothing to me! I am THE DARK GOD! I HAVE NO EQUAL! NOTHING IN THIS UNIVERSE OR THE NEXT CAN COMPREHEND MY AUTHORITY! NOT EVEN THE LIKES OF YOU!"
"Oh? Well, there's a first time for everything is there?"
"BE SILENT!"
"I'm through with you, Zeed. You've killed and hurt too many people to EVER be forgiven! The Goggle head side of me wants YOU to pay for everything you've done! Our families, friends, the people of earth, the digimon and EVERY hero across time/space WANT you eliminated! I am their HOPE! Their SAVIOR! Their HERO! I AM THE ANSWER TO ALL OF WHOSE CRYING OUT FOR PEACE!"
(End of theme)
(Play Digimon Frontier theme With the Will)
Suddenly, Zeed felt the strain of his body giving out and was being pushed back by Galactic X's powerful attack. He couldn't believe it. Just a few moments, he was gaining a foothold and had the warrior at the palm of his hand. But, now… Now he was feeling the strength of not just the Digi-Destined, Tamers, D3s and Legendary Warriors. He was feeling the strength of every digimon, human and hero standing up against him. The villains within Zeed were screaming out viciously like chattering rodents. The Dark God roared out and unleashes yet another force of his attack.
"OUT OF YOUR DARKNESS, I AM THE LIGHT! THAT LIGHT WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU'VE SET OUT TO DESTROY! MAY YOUR DARKNESS FOREVER BECOME EXTINGUISHED!"
"No! NOT NOW! NOT EVER!"
Zeed pushes out with another strong force and pushes back on Galactic X's Tsunami Wave. He quickly turns his attention to where Goddess Moinanea was levitating over the X planet. She held her hands out and was beginning to release a force of energy to stop the time bomb.
"NO! NOT NOW! NOT EVER!"
Flapping out his wings, Zeed sends out a wave of dark energy across space. Goddess Moinanea turns around and gasps when the dark wind attempted to blow her away. However, the power from the ENIAC shielded her.
"WHAT!"
"The ENIAC protected me!" Goddess Moinanea gasped out. "Thank you. Now, it's time to put an end to this time bomb! Zeed! Your plan ends here!"
Crying out triumphantly, the Goddess raised her hands and gathers the energy she collected from ENIAC. She pushes her hands out and releases a beam shaped into a massive arrowhead spear.
"STARLIGHT PURITY ARROWHEAD!"
…
…
…
…
There was a sudden freezing moment of time with everything and everyone completely still. The attack was launched but halfway from plunging through the planet. Zeed looks on with utter horror as the attack was preparing to demolish his weapon of mass destruction. Galactic X was still pumping out more energy through his attack. A smile formed underneath his helmet.
…
…
…
…
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
…
…
The energy blast plunged through the planet and out to the other side. Zeed roar out as he watched his precious planet quickly being erased out from existence. There wasn't a grand explosion or anything. It simply vanished. The Dark God's hopes of victory were quickly vanquished. Zeed's chances for victory just went down the drain. He couldn't believe it!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! NOT MY WEAPON! MY PLANET! YOU WENCH! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!"
"Hey! You're forgetting about little ol' me!"
Turning around, Galactic X's chest opened up and out came a massive cannon. The energy cannon was massive and looked very similar to Imperialdramon's Mega Crusher. Zeed unleashed another angry cry and prepared to launch out his attack in desperation.
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU!"
"Zeed! All I have to say is this… AND SO IT ENDS!"
Launching out his attack, Zeed made certain his attack would hit its mark. He watched as his Apocalyptic Wrath would hit it's mark.
…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
…
Looking on happily with a grin on his face, the dragon laughed out heartily at his accomplishment. Just like that, he had done in the unified warrior. Or so it would seem… The smoke cleared and Zeed's face twisted into that of a shocked expression. The smoke cloud cleared to reveal Galactic X with the Life Bomb emerging out of the cannon. Not even a single scratch on Galactic X.
"IMPOSSIBLE! HOW DID You… HOW DID THAT NOT EFFECT YOU?"
Not answering to the Dark God's rant, Galactic X maintained his calm composure and held the Super Universal Life Bomb directly in front of his energy cannon.
Goddess Moinanea arrived just in time to bare witness a historic event that would not be forgotten for eons to come. The humans, digimon and life across the universe watched this event as if it were the Super Bowl. The many heroes across time and space watched on with their hopes coming into realization. Clasping her hands, the Goddess smiled happily at the sight of the unified warrior preparing to launch out what would perhaps be the final blow to end the very existence of the Dark God.
"Galactic X! We've done! The planet has been destroyed and this universe has been spared! All thanks in part of our cooperation… Now, it is time! END THE DARK GOD'S REIGN OF DARKNESS! YOU ARE NUMBER ONE!"
Nodding his head out, Galactic X set his sights directly on Zeed. The Dark God launches himself across and unleashes his Chrono Paradox, in hopes of sending the Life Bomb into another dimension. In this case scenario, that tactic would not work. Zeed desperately launched out every attack he could use, but none of them came to avail. They dissipated against the planet-sized Life Bomb.
"ZEED! THIS IS IT!"
"NO! YOU'RE GOOD AS DEAD!"
Zeed flew across with his mouth preparing to launch yet another Apocalypse Wrath attack. However, Galactic X wasn't going to turn away and this was his last shot of vanquishing the Dark God. This would be the one technique to completely destroy him and purify the darkness.
"APOOOOOOOOCALYPSE WRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATHHHHH!"
…
…
…
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Letting out a loud battle cry, Galactic X launches the Super Universal Life Bomb across with no hesitation. The dragon beast desperately attempted to increase the size of his attack to match Galactic X's, but the Apocalypse Wrath was easily engulfed within the blast. Zeed gasped out as the purified life sphere plowed right through and caught him head on. The Dark God attempted to push it back but it was much too strong to overwhelm. Zeed watched as his body quickly started to break down to the very essence of data itself.
"NOOOOOOOO! THIS CAN'T BE! MY BODY! I'M THE DARK GOD! I CANNOT BE DEFEATED IN THIS MANNER! I SWEAR I WILL…"
Suddenly, Zeed felt his body being restrained from an unknown source. He looked down deep to find Ryo and Monodramon fully awakened. The Dark God gasped out in shock.
"RYO! MONODRAMON! NO! NOT NOW! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HELP FUEL ME!"
"NEVER! NOT NOW! NOT EVER!"
"CURSE YOU!"
"Ever since I assimilated with you, I managed to regain those forgotten memories. Looks like Ken and Wormmon were warning me about you! Now, everything has become perfectly clear! Zeed! You and I will leave this universe together!"
"YOU LITTLE TWERP! NEVER!"
Just then, Galactic X had received a telepathic message from none other than Ryo himself. He stopped to look over to find the teen and his digimon partner floating out of Zeed's body with glowing auras.
"Digi-Destined! Fellow Tamers! Legendary Warriors! D3S! Listen! This is Ryo!"
"What! But I thought you were…"
"Gone? No, but I will be once Zeed has been eliminated!"
"But we can restore you when we regain the power of the digicores and once they are purified!"
"No, it would be best if I were leave this universe with Zeed. If I stay, this monster will continue to return over and over. We can't allow such a beast to become unleashed in this continuity again. I mean, would you ever want that?"
"Well no, but at your expense! I can't do that!"
"Thank you for everything you've done, everyone. I may have had a few differences with a few of you, but we always had a common enemy. Zeed is amongst them. So allow me to go along with the Dark God. I am not even native to this continuity. It would do this universe better if I were to go. So, what I have to say is… goodbye."
"No! But you can't! You're crazy!"
"Please, look into your heart and you will realize this is the right decision. There is no other way. Zeed must never become resurrected again."
"You're… You're right. Ryo. Monodramon. I guess this is goodbye."
"Don't worry. Where I go, Zeed will be kept in perfect order. So, do me a favor and LET THIS BASTARD HAVE IT!"
"You've got it!"
Powering up instantly, Galactic X's form became engulfed in a golden aura of light. He took out his double-edged sword and launches himself across. Zeed continued to strain against the Life Bomb and his disintegration process was going a lot slower than usual. In fact, he was preparing to recover.
"THIS WON'T DO ME IN! YOU WILL- NANI!"
"GALAXIA SWORD!"
Zeed gasped out in horror as he watched Galactic X flying across at him with his Galaxia Sword. The Dark God watched his own destructive life flash before his very own eyes until the warrior plunged himself through Zeed and slashed his body completely in half through his torso. The Dark God unleashed his final deafening screams before becoming completely consumed by the Super Universal Life Bomb.

…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
…
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
…
…
…
…
The area from where the Life Bomb was launched. Ryo and Monodramon gave their final farewells before becoming consumed within the light. Their sacrifices would ensure that Zeed Millenniummon would never return to this continuity. The once all might Dark God was completely reduced into data before becoming completely erased. His form, essence and darkness were gone. The seven digicore pieces launched right out, with six of the broken pieces merging again to form the three whole orbs. The Life Bomb launched across space and out of the solar system. There were a few moments of silence before a loud grand explosion of galactic proportions.
…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
…
… The explosion of light engulfed half of the entire solar system. Both Galactic X and Goddess Moinanea were caught within the bright blue light. Every planet within the solar system felt the effects and became consumed. At long last, the light had triumphed over the darkness the Dark God had once represented.
…
…
Suddenly, after that climatic event, everything seemed to have turned dark and faded out to black. There were a few moments of silence once again. Until…
Earth. Odaiba/Highton View Terrance. 11:00 P.M.
A pair of eyes was opening up after what appeared a momentary sleep. These eyes were coming from none other than the leader of the Digi-Destined, Taichi Kamiya. He looks up to find the smiling faces of Sora, Max, Biyomon, Dorothy, BW, X and young Keke. Huh? What was this?
One moment they were out in space in the final epic battle against Zeed and now they were back on Earth! How did this happen!
"Hey… What's going on…?" Tai managed to mutter.
"Welcome back, dad," Max replied. "We thought you were going to be out of it."
"Did he have a nice sleep?" Sora giggled down at her husband.
"Heh. Good morning to you, too, sleep beauty," BW teased the young man.
"Huh…? Last thing I remember was us… All of us fused into a super warrior and whooping Zeed… Wait! The battle!" Tai sat up while realizing he was back in his human form. "The battle! Outer space! Zeed! Did we win…?"
"Um, duh, dad," Max snickered. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be here."
"No kidding," Dorothy sighed a relief. "I thought we were gone for sure."
"Whoa… What a trip out. You guys seem to be doing well. Hey, what about everyone else!"
"Everyone's just fine," Keke answered. "My dad is untransformed though. My mom, brother and Palmon are alive again. It's a miracle!"
"The same goes for everyone else," Biyomon answered.
Tai looked across the landscape and smiled with relief. Not only was he back at Highton View Terrace but he laid his eyes on each of his friends. Matt was sitting on a stairway with a smirk. Mimi, Palmon, Gabumon, little Dimitri and his future counterpart waved out towards Taichi's family. Mirai Dimitri's Patamon, Faith, was sleeping on top of his head. The older Keke walked out from out of the debris and wiped her forehead.
"Hey! It's Dimitri from the future! Wow! Awesome!" Tai calls out. "How's it going, man?"
"Great! I'm glad to be back! I was just going to visit you guys until that bastard cut me off short," Dimitri responded.
"At least I get to see how cool my future self turned out to be," little Dimitri snickered. "Man! I get to see a sword from another time! Mom! Get me a sword, please?"
"Only if you behave and don't use such repulsive manners at the table," Mimi giggled.
"Ah, mom!"
"I would listen to your mother, boy," Matt nodded. "She can be pretty demanding."
"And what's that supposed to mean, Matthew!"
"You know I hate it when I'm referred to name," he sighed. "Darn woman…"
Sitting across from the other side was Izzy and Tentomon. Joe and Gomamon were walking through a tunnel to meet up with the team.
Waking up, Agumon rose up and found Guilmon sniffing him.
"Hey, Guilmon. Do you mind?"
"Hehe. Sorry, Agumon. I needed to make sure you weren't gone."
"Can I go back to sleep now?"
"Not yet until we know what's going on," Tai replied while sitting up.
The leader of the Digi-Destined gazed around the post-apocalyptic landscape. Many buildings were demolished but the skies were still as dark as ever. The bright moonlight came showering over across the devastation. He gasped as he found everyone: every Digi-Destined, Tamer, Spirit Digi-Destined, D3, Digimon and warrior back intact.
"X, do you mind how this all happened?" Tai asked the young man.
"You've got me there. I'm just as clueless as you are. I believe this is Goddess Moinanea's doing."
"Where is she?"
"Over here, Taichi," the voice of the female deity calls out.
The Kamiya family turns around to see Goddess Moinanea walking out. Standing by her side were Shintomon and the revived Lady Moinanea. It was truly a sight to behold. Three deities together with one being the true omnipotent power to rightfully watch over the Digital Universe. More surprising was the fact that the mortal, demigoddess Lady Moinanea was restored back to life.
"Hey! You… Lady Moinanea is back to life!" Tai pointed out.
"Yes, thanks to you and your friends," Lady Moinanea smiled. "Shintomon and I are very grateful."
"That was truly remarkable, everyone!" Shintomon praised the team. "You, the Tamers and the Legendary Warriors vanquished the Dark God! I never would have imagined it were possible!"
"Yeah and I'm glad you two are well," Tai nodded.
"Yeah, isn't this great?" Keke said. "Even her baby has been restored. Now Shintomon and her can have their child together."
"I can't wait until the baby comes," Dorothy giggled in thought. "He's going to be adorable!"
"Then, wait! What about Ken?"
"DADDY!" the voice of younger Sam cried out.
Turning their attention over towards the other side, Tai and the others saw Ken alive. He was fully restored with his soul intact. Yolei tightly embraced her once deceased husband and poured her tears out.
"Oh! Ken! I thought you'd never return! You had me worried! I wasn't ready to tell my friends I'd be a widow at twenty-seven!"
"It's good to have you back, old chap," Hawkmon bowed to Ken.
"We've overcome the greatest threat, Ken. It's a shame you missed out," Wormmon sighed.
"Actually, I got to see it front row just like all of you. It was a privilege to see Zeed finally get his," Ken nodded.
"KEN!" Davis' voice rang out.
The former Kaiser turned to see Davis running up towards him while waving out. Behind him were Veemon, David and Sonja. They were all relieved to see Ken back on his feet.
"Davis!" Ken calls out to his long time friend.
"Man! I thought for sure you'd kicked the bucket!" Davis slapped hands with Ken and gives him a pat on the back.
"No way. You guys were there to support me and preserve my body even in death. Thank you."
"What are friends for?" Davis chuckled.
"Ken. I want to apologize for what my brother has done to you," Sonja gives a bow to Ken. "What he did… It wasn't his fault. He was being controlled by Datamon and Dr. Myuumon. He…"
"There's no need for apologies, Sonja. I understand completely. At the moment he confronted me and Yolei, I could tell there was something wrong. Your brother is no murderer. I'm sure he's just like you… a good individual who is completely misunderstood."
"…Thank you, Ken. You don't know how much that means to me."
"It's not a problem," Yolei replied to the artificial woman. "What you and Davis did to protect his body was enough for me to know you two are his best friends. He appreciates it."
"And I appreciate it, too," Cody speaks out.
With that said, the Zero Two crew turns around to find Cody emerging with Armadillomon by his side.
"Ken. I may have disliked you for what you've done as the emperor, but I now see you as a friend and an asset to the team. We wouldn't be complete without you."
"Thank you, Cody. I appreciate all of these kind words. Davis. Yolei. Sonja. Cody. Along, with everyone else are my best friends."
"Aw, dad! You're getting too emotional," young Sam teased his father.
"In a way, he has every right to be," the older D3 Sam said. "There's nothing wrong when a man gets emotional. It's human nature. Besides Ken isn't the type to show machismo like certain people I know."
"Hey, why are you looking at us!" Tai and Davis blurted out.
The group shared a laugh together after that comment was made amongst the Digi-Destined.
"Hey, guys!" TK calls out. "You can't go and forget about us?"
Stepping out of hiding was TK, Kari, Tike and Kara. The other Digi-Destined waved out to the couple with their children. Gatomon was taking a catnap on top of a slab while Patamon laid on top of Tike's head.
"Um, you mind if you can get off, Patamon?" Tike sighed.
"I don't know, Tike, you two look pretty cute like that," Kara giggled at her brother.
"Do not!"
"Do, too!"
"You guys settle down," Kari scolded the children. "C'mon, lets go see Uncle Tai and everyone else."
"Hey, what ever happened to Takato and the Tamers?" asked Davis.
"Oh, they're recovering. They'll be joining us soon," Goddess Moinanea nodded.
…
…
Sure enough, the DW-STF were rising up slowly. Omegamon X was the first to rise and he straightened himself up. He turned to find Rosemon X, Dukemon X, Alforce V-Dramon X and Magnamon X rising to their feet. The general looks up ahead at the Digi-Destined and happily sighed a relief.
"They did it… Thank goddramon. It's finally over. The Dark God has been vanquished…"
"I never thought that event would never occur. It truly is a miracle," Rosemon X said.
"We'll let these fine, young warriors have their celebration. They've earned it. Perhaps the Goddess shall help repair the damage this planet has taken over the last few days. I know I'd volunteer to help with the reconstruction."
"First things first, let us go and check the status of the tunnel," Alforce V-Dramon X reminded the general.
"That's a good idea, but I'm positive Lillymon X and the others have gotten the job done. There should be no cause of concern. However, it was the assignment handed to me. I agree, let's move out, soldiers."
…
…
Elsewhere within the devastated landscape, the Tamers were all back intact. Henry was relieved when he found Terriermon, Suzie and Lopmon alive.
"Oh you guys! I thought I was going to lose you for sure!" Henry cried out.
"Oh, Henry! You aren't going to get rid of me that easily!" Terriermon snickered. "I mean who's going to be the one to crack jokes when you get all bummed out?"
"Ah, I just had a nice, long sleep," Suzie yawned. "I don't think I remember anything that just happened…"
"Not even Zeed?" Lopmon asked.
"Not really…"
"The important thing is that you guys are back," Henry nodded. "Takato! How's every else doing?"
The goggle head saw Guilmon rushing towards him like a happy dog ready to pounce on his owner.
"So, what did you find, Guilmon?"
"I found Tai and the others!"
"You did…? That's great, boy! We can go and see them in a minute. But first…"
"Looking for me, goggle head?" a familiar voice speaks out.
Takato turns around a finds Rika sitting on a rock with her arms crossed. Her hair was let loose and eyes were ice cold as ever. However, there was a faint smile across her pale face. Renamon phases behind the 'Digimon Queen'.
"Rika! Renamon! It's really good to see you two!"
"Likewise… So, looks like we've won the war, haven't we?"
"Yeah. I'd never thought we would pull out of that one. Zeed was sure one tough customer," Takato laughed nervously. "Ok, I am making a total fool out of myself."
"Takato. Always trying to impress me," Rika thought. "Then again, you sometimes manage to succeed."
"Whoo-whee! Now this is quite the romantic moment! Not!" Impmon's cynical tone was heard speaking out his opinion about Takato's antics.
The tiny little viral rookie steps out of hiding while dusting himself off.
"Well, Impmon. Glad to know you're still alive," Terriermon remarked. "Otherwise, I thought you'd kick the bucket like the rest of us."
"I'm going to kick your bucket if you don't pipe down, pee-wee!" Impmon retorted.
"Look out, below!"
Impmon quickly looked up and saw the large cyborg jumping down with the brash Tamer, Kazu. The little rookie leaped out of harm's way and sighed a relief.
"It's Kazu and Guardromon!" Guilmon pointed out.
"Yeah! Looks like you managed to pull through!" Takato laughed.
"Can't get rid of me that easily, chumley!" Kazu said flashing a cheesy grin.
"Or me for that matter," Kenta blurted out.
The glass-wearing teen was seen walking out of the debris with Marine Angemon healing his injuries with his bubbles.
"Ah, thanks, pal," Kenta stroked the tiny mega's head.
"Pi! Pi!"
"It's great that everyone is together, but where's Jeri? Or Leomon for that matter?" Henry wondered.
Answering his question, a figure descended down with Jeri Katou in his arms. The figure turned out to be none other than Pikkan. Also descending down to meet Pikkan was Leomon. The two veterans stood by Jeri like guardians. Popping out of Jeri's shirt was little Calumon waving to the Tamers team.
"Hello, everyone!" Calumon calls out.
"I'm sorry if I scared you guys like that, but Pikkan caught me when I nearly fell off a ledge," Jeri bowed. "Thanks again, Pikkan."
"…Um… It's not a problem," the Alterian coughed.
"Saving Jeri, again? Man, you should get a medal of honor," Takato remarked.
"Or make that two medals," Kazu stated. "Man, I'll never save any girls!"
"Won't that be the day" Rika cynically remarked.
"That was indeed an intense battle. All of us working together as one fused warrior," Renamon thought. "It was quite the sensation. Indeed, I've never felt such power. However, we are not complete. Where are Ryo and Monodramon?"
"Hey, you guys! Where are Ryo and Monodramon? We wouldn't be a complete Tamers team if he wasn't here!" Kenta stated.
"Well, he did get caught in the blast Galactic X fired down at Zeed. There's a chance he didn't make it," Guardromon replied.
"No, that's not it. It was Ryo and Monodramon who actually helped us defeat Zeed," Takato explained. "Remember when he said that by sacrificing himself, Zeed would never return? He wanted to ENSURE that Zeed remained gone from our continuity. What he did was truly heroic."
"Yeah, but it was US that dealt the final blow," Rika responded.
"So, are they dead?" Kazu wondered.
"No. More like in another world with Zeed. He has a new sense of duty and that is to prevent the Dark God from becoming revived. That's a battle he will be involved in for a long time to come," Renamon responded.
"Ryo. For that act, we truly thank you," Takato said.
Staring off into the heavens, the Tamers gave their final respects for the fallen Tamer. By sacrificing his own life, he would ensure that the Dark God never becomes revived again. That is the last thing this universe needs is that monster's rebirth.
"Takato," Rika said to the goggle head. "How about we go and see the others? Our city is mess and it's going to take a long time to fix everything."
"Our city? Make it the whole planet. It has taken a heavy amount of damage for the past few days," Takato replied. "But, you're right. Let's go and see what Takato is up to. I'm sure the Goddess will tell us what to expect from here on."
With that said, the Tamers moved across the debris of the post-apocalyptic landscape. It would indeed take years to repair everything caused by the recent events, though that was not going to stop the reconstruction process. It was done after D-Reaper's defeat and it would be done again.
…
…
Meanwhile, the Legendary Warriors had recovered just fine. Takuya was the first to rise up from a temporarily sleep. He looked across to find his comrades slowly waking up. Unbeknownst to him, he was actually lying next to Zoe. He jumped back and watched Zoe starting to stir.
"Whoa! Was I actually lying next to her!" Takuya gasped.
"Hello there, Takuya," the voice of Tyler rang out.
The goggle head shifts his attention towards the left direction to see a boy at about his age. The boy named Tyler took Takuya by his hand and lifted him back on his feet.
"Hey, who are you? Wait, I remember you trying to help us beat that creep. Plus, you united with all of us together," Takuya remembered.
"Yes. I'm glad to know that you and Zoe are doing fine," Tyler nodded.
"Well, thanks."
"Takuya…? Kouji…? Kouichi…? JP…? Tommy…?" Zoe muttered as she rubbed her eyes.
"Man, that was sure a trip," JP sat up while rubbing his head.
"We actually survived that?" Kouji wondered.
"We sure did and I'm glad we did," Kouichi replied.
"Whoa… Everything just seemed weird," Tommy staggered back on his feet.
"Um, yeah. Care to explain everything?" Zoe asked.
"Well, besides the fact that Zeed has been defeated… No, but Goddess Moinanea does have an announcement concerning the Digicores," Tyler announced.
"What? Wait, what about them? Have they been restored and purified?" Takuya asked.
"Yes, they have," Tyler replied.
"Oh, good! This is awesome!" Tommy cheered.
"Come everyone. This whole mess will be explained."
As Tyler led the Spirit Digi-Destined down, they looked across to see the original Digi-Destined gathering together.
On the other side, Michael and the now de-evolved Betamon were relieved. Centaurmon, Piximon, Andromon and even Ogremon were happy with the warriors' most well worth victory. Ogremon had caught glimpse of Leomon. He nearly wanted to take an opportunity to attack him, but he decided to let this one slide.
"So, aren't you going to attack and get revenge on Leomon like you've always had?" Piximon snickered.
"Um… Nah, that can wait another day. I'll let Leomon off the hook this time, but only for this occasion!"
"Well, there's a first time for everything," Centaurmon stated.
"I'm glad this whole mess has boiled over," Michael sighed. "Now, what are they doing? Gathering around this lady?"
"That lady is Goddess Moinanea, the rightful watcher of the Digital Universe," Andromon answered. "It'll be interesting to hear what she has to say."
"What? You mean she's the Goddess of the Digital Universe!" Betamon exclaimed.
…
…
Back across the other side of the crater, Goddess Moinanea stood out in front of everyone. Much to everyone's surprise, the four Digicores materialized around her. They were purified with each one emitting a bright aura of pure, holy light.
"Wow! No kidding! Prodigious! They have been restored!" Izzy smiled.
"But now she has something important to say concerning them and the fate of our planet," Joe said. "I wonder what she has in mind?"
"Maybe an announcement for the next Digi-Bowl?" Gomamon remarked. "Heh. I kid… I kid…"
"Whatever it maybe, I sure hope it will help to repair our planet's damage," said older Keke.
"I'm sure it will be that kind of announcement," X replied.
"All right, Goddess Moinanea. You said you wanted something to tell us about the digicores. So, we're ready. What is there to know? Can we use them to repair our planet?" Tai curiously asked.
Touching each orb with a stroke of her fingers, the Goddess smiled and was preparing to answer the leader's much asked question. Soon, the Tamers and the Spirit Digi-Destined gathered to join the originals to hear out the deity's announcement. One that could affect the earth's condition and the fate of each Chosen one. Most importantly would Tai eventually find out who the Digi-Mazoku truly was?
At last, after a long, hard fought battle, the Digi-Destined of the four generations merged together as one. Using the energy from everyone form across earth and the digital world, not to mention from every hero across space/time, they united into the FINAL FUSION: Galactic X. Destroying the deadly Planet X and Zeed, the heroes saved their universe from ultimate destruction. Now they have come to terms and will hear out Goddess Moinanea's official announcement. What would it mean for earth and the Digital Realms? They've come down to this final, momentous occasion.

(Preview)
Tai: Hi, everyone! It's me, Tai! Well, it's been a long run everyone. Nearly more than two decades, my friends and I have endured many adventures. We've been involved in many epic battles. We've met new friends, formed alliances and encountered many deadly enemies. We've grown up over the years and many of us have children. The legend of the fusion warriors lives on as a new era is on the horizon. I've already transcended five different level stages and I hope I can ascend even further! Goddess Moinanea has taken her rightful spot as the true deity of the Digital Universe.
Max: Four eras of Digi-Destined. Four Goggle Head generals! Four seasons have come and gone. We've triumphed over Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, Neo Devimon, the Invaders, the Dark Masters, the Demon Corps, Burizalor, the Artificials, Virus, Dark Magimon, King Devimon, D-Reaper, the M-5 Machine Empire, Bebimon, Super Artificial Jax, the Seven Shadow Beasts, Himo Saitou and now Zeed. All of them have fallen.
Tai: Now we wait and see what kind of announcement Goddess Moinanea has in store for us. Want to know? Well you'll just have to see what happens. You'll also get a look ten years later in the distant future. Until then, you'll just have to wait and see. By the way the title name of the final Digimon Fusion episode is entitled…
The End of the Fusion Era! And So It Ends!
Tai: All I can say to you guys is GOODBYE AND THANK YOU for the support!
And so… With only one chapter left to write, the legendaryseries of Digimon Fusion will officially come to a close. The only thing left to do is write the upcoming Digimon Fusion movie, OVAS and specials. I want to thank you guys and readers for the support over the years. Like all good things, they must come to an end. :D
In the next chapter, after the epilogue is finished, I will give my final commentary on the entire series. I'm sure you guys would like to hear what I've got to say. :D This will be the last chapter involved a battle in the actual timeline series and nothing further. This has turned out to be the longest chapter I've ever written for any fic series and I hope it was worth the read.
Now, I'd like to include a small survey before I wrap this whole commentary up. Please do take your time to answer these categories and give any final thoughts/opinions.

Again, I thank each author who I have sent their characters in for this momentous event. Shoot, I think I may have just written the longest digimon chapter.

Just when I thought I'd never make this far with my Digimon Fusion series. If you had told me that I would finish the series a year or two ago, I'd probably be laughing. Well, time has flown by and the series has progressed on through FOUR long seasons. After every plot twist, battle, dramatic moment, new enemy, every Digital Fusion transformation and nonstop adventure, it all comes to an end to my series. My 'Golden Child' project is on its final legs. :D It's been a long run and I'd like for this whole story to go out with a bang.
It all comes down to this final chapter. This one will wrap up the entire series with only movie and OVA fics to help fill in the gaps. Speaking of the movie fics, I will have more on those as this chapter concludes including my own commentary on this hit series. I will give my regard to you readers once this chapter is complete. So, just sit tight. :P
Before we go on with the epilogue, you guys still have another chance to fill out that survey from the previous chapter. You may include it in the review for this chapter. I'd like to hear anymore final opinions and storylines you'd like to see have happened. Now without further ado, it's the moment you guys have been waiting for. The epilogue is ready and I hope it at least closes the entire D-Fusion series without any further inconsistencies. Then again, that's where some of my movie and OAV fics come in to 'fill in those missing gaps'.
Now, that's enough out of me. On with the final episode of Digimon Fusion!
Against overwhelming odds, Taichi Kamiya found himself struggling against the God-like pinnacle of Zeed's power! It would appear that the Digi-Destined of Courage would fall at the hands of the final enemy! All of his friends had been easily dispatched one by one. It looked as though Zeed's darkness would consume Mother Earth and every trace of existence, including the Digital Worlds. But from under this blanket of despair, a miraculous light suddenly revealed itself.
With the help of the revived true Kami of the Digital Universe, Omega X and Goddess Moinanea called forth the energy from every human and digimon. However, they did not stop there. Soon, they would gather the spirit energy from nearly every alternate earth containing heroes. This included a fine class of heroes including the Teen Titans, Justice League, the Z-Warriors, the Spirit Detectives, the Hunimals, Amazons, Spiderman, the X-Men, the Ninja Turtles, Team AVALANCHE, the V-Tamers, the Elemental Titans, the Sailor Senshi, the Duelists, the people of Silesia Continent, and many hundreds of others. They all lent their energy for the formation of the universe's largest Life Bomb!
However, Omega X had another plan in mind. He summoned forth the bodies and spirits of his friends to merge together using the spirit bestowed to him. In turn, a new grand universal unified warrior was born!
"EXECUTE! UNITY FUSION SHINKA! EVOLUTION!"
Galactic X was finally born and waged a grand universal war on Zeed. The galaxies would never be the same after this. In fact, with Goddess Moinanea destroying Planet X, Galactic X was left to finish off the Dark God.
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU!"
"Zeed! All I have to say is this… AND SO IT ENDS!"
As Ryo and Monodramon restrained Zeed, they in turn gave up their own lives to ensure that Zeed is forever extinguished. The evil of Zeed's near omnipotent strength was put down by the finishing blow of Galactic X's sword.
With Zeed slain, everyone of the Four Generation of Digi-Destined found themselves back on Earth. Their planet was still devastated from past few invasions of villains roaming the planet. Goddess Moinanea has restored the digicores to their previous majesty and is prepared to make an announcement that would forever change the fate of the worlds. What reasons does she have for this? Find out as the final episode of Digimon Fusion commences!

"The End of the Fusion Era! And So It Ends!"
Earth. Odaiba/Highton View Terrance. 11:07 P.M.
With the skies clearing up of the previous blanket of darkness, the moonlight came illuminating down across the post-battle Tokyo district. It was just moments ago that a huge war was waged between the forces of the Digi-Destined and the final enemy, Zeed Millenniummon. Tokyo was not the only city to sigh a big relief over their world being secured, but every other city across the planet was quite relieved. They were spared an inevitable apocalypse.
Down at the center of the devastated city was a ray of shining hope. A majestic presence was standing with supreme authority. Goddess Moinanea's form was emitting a translucent green aura. The four digicores encircled her as if she were a living atom. Her hair was blowing against the strong winds that breezed by across the landscape. She found herself dead center near the crater left behind by Zeed's apocalyptic blast. She opened her eyes to reveal beautiful blue eyes and came into contact with a huge gathering standing before her. The Odaiba Digi-Destined, the Zero Two Digi-Destined, the Tamers, D3 children, and the Spirit Chosen Children looked across at Goddess Moinanea waiting to hear her important announcement. The digimon, too, were present.
Letting out a sigh, Goddess Moinanea levitated down from mid-air and drops her hands. Tai was the first to step out of the crowd and faced the goddess of the Digital Universe. Their eyes were locked onto each other until Tai reached out with his hand. Goddess Moinanea kindly took his hand and shook it with gratitude.
"Goddess, we couldn't have done without you."
"No, Taichi. It was you. You and your friends were responsible for the formation of Galactic X. You all worked together to form the universal warrior to crush the Evil Dark God. His presence will no longer be a threat to this continuity as long as I hold power, which will be infinite. You all have done a fine job and you all have my deepest gratitude. Thank you…
"Aww, lady! It was nothing to it!" Terriermon replied.
"We had to do what we needed to prevent that monster from ever invading other worlds," Takuya stated.
"It was great that we all worked together in this and our souls have been restored," Jeri nodded.
"There's still some questions needed to be answered," Takato pointed out.
"He's right. What about Ryo and Monodramon? Are they truly gone?" Tommy asked.
There was no answer from the goddess until she nodded her head. It seemed she knew the fate of Ryo Akiyama and his digimon partner. This didn't suite well for the Digi-Destined teams. The Tamers and Ken were the most devastated to realize the loss of Ryo.
"Unfortunately, as Ryo and Monodramon restrained Zeed, your final attack had destroyed them in the process. Alas, Ryo wanted it to end this way. It was the only solution to prevent Zeed from ever emerging in this universe. It was a sacrifice he had to take and what a selfless sacrifice. He shall be remembered as a good friend and a fellow Tamer."
"We understand," Rika spoke up. "It's the best solution he could ever come up with. Besides, the last thing we need is that maniac Zeed coming back for round two."
"Yes and that is the last thing we need just as we have come off with a major victory," Renamon agreed.
"Ryo. Thanks a lot, dude," Kazu sighed in sadness.
"We won't forget you," Kenta replied.
"Thanks a lot, Ryo Akiyama," Takato thought. "Wherever you are, we hope you have a safe journey."
"As Ryo made his final sacrifice, he not only ensured the banishment of Zeed, but the soul of every villain absorbed by that monster have directly been sent back to Digital Limbo."
"But, what are the chances of those bastards escaping and attempting to get their revenge on us?" Guilmon asked.
"With power rightfully being restored to me, all portals within digital limbo are forever sealed. No one, but the living have access of leaving. The chances of someone such as Burizalor or Virus returning are slim to none."
"Thank goodness! I'm so glad!" Kari smiled. "I never want to see that bastard Virus again."
"Or Burizalor for that matter. I hope he enjoys his resident stay in digital limbo," Sora growled. "He and those heartless monsters can rot for all I care."
"Well, now that those questions are out of the way, what do you say we get down to business?" Tai asked. "You mentioned something important concerning the Digicores. So, go ahead and spill the beans."
"Yes, I agree. Everyone of you want to know the fate of the four Digicores and your planet," the goddess replied. "Now, listen, because this is very important… Before I do, allow me to seal away the broken dimensional fabric between this world and the Dark Realm."
"Oh yeah. We can't forget about that," TK nodded.
"Right. The last thing we need are the Synisters invading our world," Davis stated.
Holding out her right hand, Goddess Moinanea's hands glowed with intense green light and quickly began to close the hole up. Everyone looked on with astonishment and gasped to see the hole being sealed up effortlessly. It took Zeed's Godly strength to rip open a massive hole but it only took the goddess' hand wave to seal it back up. As the hole was completely closed, the Dark Realm disappeared out of earth's dimension. It was restored back to its previous isolated realm.
"I've closed the hole to the Dark Realm. As of now, the tunnel in the caverns will ultimately be sealed away. The DW-STF will successfully finish up their assigned task bestowed to them by Huanlongmon," the goddess said.
"That's great! That just ensures humanity's survival!" Zoe cheered excitedly.
"Good, now I can breath easy," Yolei sighed.
"So, can we now move on with the Digicores and our planet? Can we use the Digicores to fix everything destroyed by our enemies during the past few days since the opening of Digital Limbo when Datamon and Dr. Myuumon released our old enemies?" Agumon asked.
"Well, I will say this. The Shadows created from out of the combined powers of Millenniummon's essence and the Digicores… Do you all want to know why they ever had to appear at all?"
"Well, some of us were already starting to catch on," Ken said.
"I can follow along with what he said," stated Izzy.
"No, I still don't get it," Mimi nodded.
"Don't worry, the lady will give us an explanation," little Dimitri assured his mother.
"We're ready to hear you out, your majesty," Lady Moinanea bowed her head.
"Here's the reason: This world and Digital Limbo itself were becoming one was a primary reason. Another reason was the sudden release of every previous enemy and them being resurrected. This was all thanks in part to Datamon and Dr. Myuumon grand scheme to distract you while their Super Artificial would be complete."
"Bastards. Those two made all of this possible," Sonja growled. "My brother… He's gone… Thanks to those two. They made me hate my brother."
"Take it easy, babe," Davis whispered to his loving wife. "Your brother ultimately aided us in spirit in the end."
"I know…"
"Another reason was also due to all of you overusing Azulongmon's special digicores. They were never meant to be used more than once within a Digital Cycle of a hundred years. Each one was starting to crack under the pressure. Millenniumon's dark spirit exploited this from the start. When you first used the digicores, he implemented a course of action to steal them away, infect them with his negative energy and spawn seven monsters to spread the dark pollution across your planet. In turn, Himo Saitou aided Millenniummon in his conquest. In return, Millenniummon asked for Saitou to open the tunnel to the Dark Realm. For Saitou, it would be his final resting place, before he would pass on with only a month left of life. For Zeed, he would merge with his second half residing in the Dark Realm and once again reach his most powerful form. He would have ultimately absorbed the seven monsters to destroy every trace of existence within this continuity."
"Well, tell us something we didn't already know," Impmon scoffed.
"In this case, if those seven monsters had continued to destroy this planet, the tunnel would have been opened for Zeed's second half to emerge. Thus, Monodramon would expel Zeed's spirit and in turn fuse with the second half. He would have then finished off our universe once he merged the seven monsters' powers into his body," Henry said.
"Well put Sherlock," Terriermon joked.
"These four Digicores were supposed to be an extraordinary magic and power," Goddess Moinanea continued on. "They were supposed to be revered, not for the ease of their method, but for the dream of never having to use them. I'm afraid I cannot allow you Digi-Destined to ever to use these Digicores again. After merging with the Black Digicores, I've come to realization of just how precious and important those orbs of life mean to the Digital Universe. Don't you see? Everyone, including enemies and heroes alike, has overused them. You all have pushed their limits. I'm sorry, but this will be the last time they will ever be used. I can't take the risk of another cataclysmic event that had just unraveled for the past few days. Under my watch, they will be safe."
"But… You can't take them!" Tai retorted.
"Taichi. No, please… Don't questions her authority!" Shintomon exclaimed.
"Yeah, dad! This is THE Kami of the Digital Universe. You don't want her to erase you from existence, do you?" Max attempted to calm his father.
"I'm sorry, goddess, but you just can't dictate on how we use the Digicores! I feel there's still some use for them! Take a look at our planet! It's a wreck and will take years to rebuild! Everyone of us has been through hell! Goddess Moinanea. I speak for everyone here. We need to use the Digicores just one last time to clean up the mess of our planet. Please, look into your good conscience and grant us that opportunity. As you said yourself, you are thankful for us forming Galactic X and forever destroying Zeed. Allow us this final wish… That is all I ever ask for and nothing more. That's not too greedy, is it?"
The goddess remained firm while standing her ground. The Digicores continued to encircle her randomly. Her serious glare was transfixed on Taichi's. Already grown to understand Tai better, she can easily see the good within him. He would never lie and go back on his word for anything. She could sense the man being serious of this matter.
After a minute of reconsidering, the goddess finally nodded her head and smiled.
"Taichi. After hearing such a heartfelt speech from you, I can't go and disagree with you. What you are asking for is not too selfish. In fact, everyone of us has to be selfish for whatever reason at some point. I'll let this one slide, Taichi. You may have your final wish. State your command and I shall give you whatever it is you desire."
"Well, there's no mistake about it… After the hole to Digital Limbo and the events leading to Zeed's birth, a lot of people have died, cities were destroyed and environments were polluted from the destruction. Earth had no time to even recover once the Shadow Beasts, Saitou and Zeed arrived onto the scene. Those poor people and living creatures never even stood a chance. So, could you use the Digicores to repair our planet and restore those lost souls back to life?"
"Tai…?" Sora whispered.
"It's okay. Let him go through with this. After all, this is for our planet," X nodded.
"And for the Digital Worlds," Biyomon said.
"Goddess Moinanea. I, myself, take full responsibility for this," Tai reassured the goddess. "I want everyone to be restored, reunited with their loved ones and be given a chance to live a good life before they were wrongfully taken away. Those people were victims. This fight was never theirs and they lost a battle they couldn't win. So, please… For Mother Earth…"
"So… This is your final wish, Taichi Kamiya?"
"Yes… and absolute."
All right, understood," Goddess Moinanea smiled. "This is your final wish. It has thus been granted…"
With that said, the Digicores levitated up and scattered across the skies. Goddess Moinanea clasped her hands together to chant a heavenly song like a mother would sing to her newborn child. The Digi-Destined and their allies watched the night skies brightened by the golden streaks of light emitting from the Digicores.
"How pretty," Kari remarked.
"Magnificent," replied older Keke.
"So, this is our final wish. I'm happy it was going to be used for the right cause," Max looked up in awe. "Dad, thanks…"
"Anything for Mother Earth. We owe it to her and all of its people."
"There's one to you, Earth! May you live on in prosperity for many millions of years to come!" JP calls out.
"Kouji, isn't this great?" Kouichi said.
"It sure is, Kouichi. I'm sure our families are watching this right now."
Outer Space View of Earth. 11:12 P.M.
An entire view of Earth is displayed and it looked to be as beautiful as ever. The blanket of darkness created by Zeed was clearly gone. However, there was another strange phenomenon occurring. This time it was the four golden streaks created from the Digicores. Their miraculous light blanketed across the heavens worldwide to heal every devastation left behind by the invading enemy monsters. The unfortunate deaths of every victim from these attacks were ultimately restored. Just like the post-D Reaper event, every trace of devastated landscape was being returned. It was truly a miracle for one to behold.
Every International Digi-Destined were grateful for this sudden miracle and owed their gratitude to their fellow Digi-Destined of Japan.
Earth. Odaiba/Highton View Terrance. 11:12 P.M.
After nearly a minute of restoring every lost from the last few apocalyptic days, the four Digicores returned back to Goddess Moinanea. They came back to encircle her once again. The Goddess, however, was not ready to depart from the Earth realm just yet.
"Wow! I'm feeling the revival of every lost soul!" older Sam cried out.
"This is great! Yes, I'm feeling their presence, too!" BW replied.
"Now that we've gotten that out of the way, so what next?" Pikkan wondered.
"We won't know until we hear from the goddess herself," Leomon said.
Stepping forward, the Digi-Destined leader bowed his head before Goddess Moinanea. The lady smiled and kneeled down to face him. She placed a finger under his chin.
"Thank you, my lady. We will never forget this nor will we forget you. You've done us a lot of good since we've met Lady Moinanea. We never knew you'd reside in the lady herself."
"I knew well that it would be you and your friends that would eventually release me. I want to thank you, Taichi. For it had not been for Gosenzomon's plan, this wouldn't have come into motion."
"You mean this is that old guy's idea?" Mimi asked. "Yuck! Can't forget about that old pervert!"
"He maybe a pervert, but he sure saved our hides this time around. At least he plans ahead," Lady Moinanea giggled.
"Well, can we get on with this? I'm sure some of us want to get some rest before we start rebuilding our homes," Matt suggested.
"Do not worry about that, Yamato. In due time, the wish effects will restore your home. It's taking a while to restore the homes of every other person across the planet," the goddess answered to the Digi-Destined of Friendship. "Now, Taichi. I know you are anxious to see him"
"Him?"
"You know who I am referring to…"
Suddenly, Tai immediately remembered the mysterious voice who called out to him during the fight against Saitou. It was that same, deep voice that echoed through his mind, which in turn led to his ascension to Super Digital Fusion Level Five AKA War God Mode.
The Digi-Destined of Courage's eyes narrowed and fists clenched as he recalled those events. Even Agumon's blood was boiling remembering the voice he, too, heard. Max, X and Sora rushed over to calm the dup down.
"Yeah, I recall that, goddess," Tai growled under his breath. "How could I FORGET that? I really didn't need to be reminded but thanks… You've just made me even more curious."
"Taichi. I ask of you. Since I allowed you to ask me to use the Digicores for one final wish, I'd like for you to come with me. I can show you the doorway that will lead you back to the Dark Realm… If you would like to meet Agumon's ancestral father."
"…"
Tai and Agumon remained paused for a moment while they were considering their decision. Sora stepped forward to confront her husband.
"Tai, please don't go through with this. We've been through enough," Sora pleaded. "These past few days have been hell as you said."
"I know…"
"So, why are you even considering going back to that place? You don't know just how dangerous it can be in there. For all we know there could be monsters that could rival your Digi-Mazoku strength!"
"Dad, you did promise me a party after this was said and done," Max reminded his father.
"Party…? Oh! That's right…"
"Yeah. You and I were going to celebrate with everyone else. Remember? I would never forget something like that ever."
"Please, Mr. Kamiya," little Keke spoke up. "Please listen to Max. Don't go just yet…"
"Just yet! I don't want him to enter that retched place again! There's no telling just how dangerous those Synisters can really be!" Sora exclaimed. "Look what happened with Zeed! He killed most of us and nearly won!"
"I can assure you Sora. There are no other beings with that kind of strength besides myself," Goddess Moinanea kindly replied. "The Synisters are indeed a formidable force to deal with, but they are nothing I can't handle."
"I see…"
"Taichi? Let me ask you this. Would you like to spend a whole day with your friends and family before departing to the Dark Realm to meet Agumon's and now your ancestral Digi-Mazoku father?"
"I can stay to spend time with my family for one whole day and then I can go?" Tai asked.
"Yes. I'm a patient deity. You have my full permission, but you should be ready by tomorrow night."
"Understood."
"Dad? Wow, so you really are going to live up to your promise!" Max smiled. "That's what I'd like to hear!"
"I think this is a good idea, Tai. This is probably for the best until you go tomorrow. Family and friends come first as they say…"
"I agree, X. There's no way I'm going to disappoint my loved ones, that includes my little man," Tai replied.
"Cool! Tai's staying with us for one day!" Takato announced to the Tamers. "I say we make this a celebration worthwhile!"
"Yay! Party! Party!" Calumon cheered.
"But first what do you say we wait until our city gets repaired?" Rika suggested.
"You're right. While the Digicores' magic helps restore our home, we can rest up to celebrate before Tai's departure to the Dark Realm," Henry said.
Happily hoisting Max onto his shoulders, Tai allowed his son to look up higher into the stars above. A pair of magnificent shooting stars blaze across the nightly skies. Dorothy comes over and approaches Tai while clearing her throat to get his attention.
"Tai… Um, may I have a quick word with you?" Dorothy asked.
"Sure, Dorothy. Hold on. Ok, Max. You're going to have to get off. You can go and play with Keke while I talk to 'big sister' Dorothy."
"Sure, dad."
With that said, Max happily ran across to meet with Keke, who was standing by her mother's side. Tai turns his attention over to Dorothy and prepares to listen to her before moving on to finish his conversation with Goddess Moinanea.
"What is it, Dorothy?"
"Taichi… Are you sure it's wise to go back to the Dark Realm? You do realize that there's more to that dimension than what we've seen? I mean what if Sora says is true? What if there is indeed Synisters that can rival your power?"
"Including my and Agumon's ancestral father?"
"Yeah. I'm just worried for you, Tai. Max, Sora, myself and X are really worried about the decision you're making. What if it's a mistake?"
"I understand what you're trying to imply. Yeah, I'm aware of the unknown dangers to expect. I really don't want to go back to that place, but I need to know. I NEED to know if I'm strong enough to take that Mazoku bastard down. He interfered in my fight with Saitou and I can never forgive him for that. I don't give a damn who he's related to!"
"Yes, but is fighting him going to change anything?"
"There's no other way. So, I want you to do something for me while I'm away."
"Sure. What do you want for me to do?"
Putting a hand on Dorothy's right shoulder, Tai gives her a nod and a bright smirk across his face. It seemed the man wanted her to carry out a huge favor that could have an impact on her relationship with the Kamiya family.
"I want you to stay and take care of my family while Agumon and I are away. Max could really use the company and it would be good if you look after Sora. We see you as an addition to our family. I'm sure you'll manage well."
"Tai… I'm flattered. I know how much you and your family appreciates me, but me stay in your home? Watch over your family?"
"I don't want Sora to grief and I'd like someone to stay with her."
"I understand. Max and I get along really well. He practically sees me as his older sister. It makes me happier to know that you've chosen me to take care of your family. Tai, it would be an honor. But, how long do you plan to be gone? Surely it can't be for too long."
"Honestly, I have no clue how long I'll be gone. It might take months or even years. This is something Agumon and I must do if we are to get to the bottom of this whole Digi-Mazoku mystery. I want to find this bastard, confront him and give him a piece of my mind."
"But, it shouldn't take you that long just to find and beat the holy heck out of him."
"No, but I'd like to stay there and train. There's no telling how strong this guy really is. If he was able to control me and force me to beat the living hell out of Saitou like that, then there's no doubt this guy is that damn strong. I need to fight him at my very best."
"Wow, even to this day, you fail to amaze me. You really love the sport of competition, don't you?"
"I didn't play soccer for nothing. Besides, I'm a Kamiya and we never quit. No matter what."
"All right, I accept this as an excuse to leave home, but you're going to have to talk to Sora about it. I doubt she'd even stand the thought of you being gone for the long term. Same with Max. But, I'm perfectly fine since I love your family too much, Tai. Besides, my 'parents' aren't actually around that often. I'm often home by myself. I'm more than happy to sell off my apartment home and move in with your family."
"Thanks a lot, Dorothy. I know I can depend on you."
"Anything for you, Tai. You're like a father to me. I'll do this as a big favor."
"And you think you can help my boy train along with Keke? Teach them everything I taught you."
"Sure. It's about time the student becomes a teacher for another student!"
Giving a hug to Tai, Dorothy wrapped her arms around the young man's waist. He returns a hug to her and pats her back.
"I'm really going to miss you, Tai."
"Same for me. Now, all that's left is for me to tell Sora, Max and the others."
Just then, Max came running up towards his father's side and tugs on his cargo pants. The young father kneels over to speak with his son.
"What is it, Max?"
"Dad! I hear we're going to be throwing a celebration on the beach away from Rainbow Bridge. Maybe this way, we can wait for the whole city to recover while the Digicores' power continues to repair the cities across the world."
"Wow, that's great! Is everyone going to be there?"
"Uh huh! Us, the other Digi-Destined, our older D3 selves, the Tamers and the Spirit kids!"
"I like the sound of that! Care to join us, Dorothy?"
"Oh… Sure, besides there's nothing left for me to do around here and I'm apart of family! Of course I'll be joining you!"
"I have a question that's needed to be answered," Joe spoke up.
"Oh boy, he's going to ask whether we need medi-kits for the party," Gomamon sighed.
"Actually, I was going to point out that we're forgetting about Azulongmon," Joe brought up a forgotten problem. "Goddess Moinanea, you do aware that you still hold possession of the Digicores?"
"That's right! They rightfully belong with him," Cody pointed out. "If they are not returned to their previous majesty, then Azulongmon himself would awaken. At least, I think so…"
"Again, you seem to forget who really is in charge of the Digital Universe's order," the goddess spoke up. "Once Zeed was defeated and I purified the Digicores with my own hands, the power of Azulongmon would automatically be restored. He is back as good as new, but he nearly came close to deletion. Thanks to Galactic X's victory over Zeed, Azulongmon was saved."
"Oh, boy. Now that's good news!" Armadillomon replied. "Good to know that Azulongmon will be doing fine."
"Now that all problems seem to have settled down, there are still many ways for the planet to be repaired using the Digicores' powers. Let us make this celebration worth while," Shintomon suggested. "We've earned it and we should all be happy."
"Thus, it is a celebration for Taichi's sudden departure to the Dark Realm. Tomorrow will be a day we will never forget," Lady Moinanea replied.
"But, for now, let us rest up since you have all fought a difficult battle. Tomorrow, we shall celebrate," the goddess stated. "Taichi. Are you sure you'd like this event to still go in progress? We may go to the Dark Realm tonight if you wish."
Tai simply nodded his head and looked over towards his loving family.
"I've already made up my mind. I owe it to my family and friends to stay… for one last night before I leave. I want to make this worth while."
"Then, so be it. Enjoy yourselves, Digi-Destined. Tamer. Spirit Children. This is a new period of prosperity. A dawning of a new era between the worlds. The dark reign of Zeed has come to a close. Let us celebrate for this new age!"
As soon as the goddess announced this, the entire crew cheered on and laughed out happily. Well, everyone except Matt and Pikkan. Something seemed to be bothering these two. It wasn't the fact that they weren't in the mood to celebrate but they seemed upset with Tai's decision to leave for the Dark Realm. Matt was understandable, but why Pikkan? The Alterian would confront Tai before the Digi-Destined of Courage would make his departure.
"Tai. There has to be reason for this sudden announcement of your departure. You're going off to train, aren't you?" Matt thought.
"You're going off to train without me knowing? Bah, I can read you like a book," thought Pikkan.
"A party, huh? Now that's an idea," Takuya nodded. "What do you say, guys? We sure could use one after what we've been through."
"Yeah and if this is a going away party for Tai, then you bet I'd be here," Tommy replied.
"The beach, huh? Well, it's too bad I didn't bring a bathing suit, but oh well," Zoe shrugged her shoulders.
"Sorry JP, but you heard Zoe," Takuya snickered.
"I wasn't even thinking about that," JP said. "I'm thinking about what Tai had said earlier about that voice. Who is this Mazoku guy he's been excited to meet?"
"Well, in Tai's case, he wants to beat the living hell out of him," Kouji stated.
"This Mazoku lord is the one responsible for interfering with his fight against Saitou," Kouichi muttered. "Just who could he be and what will Tai gain out of confronting him?"
"These are questions Taichi must figure out on his own once he confronts the Mazoku lord," Tyler replied to Kouichi while probing his mind. "Then again, are there other Mazoku lords besides this Toushinmon?"
01/02 Digital World. Azulongmon's Realm
Having witnessed the climatic battle, Gennai happily rejoiced for the Digi-Destined's ultimate victory over Zeed. However, he was even more relieved to find out that Goddess Moinanea had purified the four Digicores. This meant that Azulongmon's power was restored and no longer was on the brink of death.
The mighty Holy Beast lifted himself off of the surface and felt his power completely rejuvenated. The Digicore orbs surrounding his body emitted bright flashes of light. He opened his eyes and gasped out. Gennai and the other Holy Beasts were happy to know that their beloved had been restored to his supreme majesty.
"Azulongmon! You're back at full power! We thought we were going to lose you!" Gennai cried out in happiness. "Thank goodness."
"I'll never die easily, my friend. This is all thanks in part to Goddess Moinanea and the purification of the four Digicores."
"Well, you are now aware that the Digicores will no longer be any use for the Digi-Destined and their allies?" Baihumon asked.
"Yes, in case you've forgotten, the Chosen have already used their last wish to repair the damage on their own planet," Xuanwumon reminded the dragon beast.
"I am aware of that, Xuanwumon," Azulongmon nodded. "I'm willing to sacrifice the four special Digicores to Goddess Moinanea. I trust she will look after them carefully. This is perhaps for the best for both worlds."
"So, shall we grace these honorary heroes with our presence?" Gennai suggested.
"No. They have been through enough as it is," Zhuqiaomon stated. "Let them enjoy themselves with this celebration while their home is repaired by the Digicores' mystical effects. The reconstruction is still underway. In fact, every Digi-Destined across the planet are joining in to celebrate this grand victory over the Dark God.
"You're right and they have earned it," Azulongmon nodded. "All that's left are a few things to be done."
"What are those?" Gennai asked.
"Saitou's Spellcasters. Three of them are still in our continuity. They should be returned back to their own world. Gennai, if you would be so kind as to help escort them back."
"How, when I don't even have access?"
"I'm certain Goddess Moinanea will open portals since she has supreme authority over time and space. Please, let's make this hasty, Gennai."
"Understood, Lord Azulongmon. I'm off."
As soon as he said that, Gennai phases out of the holy realm to leave the four Holy Beasts to gather around the viewing orb. There was a view of the entire Digi-Destined beginning to celebrate their victory around a small beach bonfire. A smile crept across the dragon's face and he uttered a small chuckle.
"Digi-Destined. I'm proud of each and everyone of you. Tamers. The Sovereigns send their regards. Legendary Warriors. The Celestials wish to thank you. You have all saved our universe one last time. May you enjoy this celebration for you have earned it."
Outside Demon's Cavern. October 30, 2016 6:30 P.M.
One whole day has nearly passed since Zeed's demise. There were several little problems needed to be solved before order was restored to this continuity. The hole created into the doorway leading to the Dark Realm was finally sealed off, all thanks in part to the efforts of the Digital World Special Task Force. As a way to finally close the case, Omegamon X found the Human Armageddon CD and destroyed it so that no one would ever use it again. Omegamon X and his soldiers were honored by Goddess Moinanea and Huanlongmon. General Omegamon X was promoted as high supreme chief of all the forces. The others were given promotions and higher positions for their duty, even though they had disobeyed Huanlongmon's orders. The supreme sovereign was willing to let this one problem slide since Zeed had emerged to ravage the planet.
Three of Saitou's Spellcasters, Mari, Hideto and Sigma, were returned back to their own universe home thanks to Gennai. From there, the Alias III would be reunited with Neo and Rei Saiba to give Himo Saitou the proper burial. They gave their final regards to the fallen Dark Angel before moving on with their lives.
V-Tamers Universe. Local Cemetery Site
The entire crew who once worked under Himo Saitou gathered together at the grave site of the their deceased beloved. The head tombstone read:
Himo "Dark Angel" Saitou
Born: October 25, 1980
Died: October 29, 2016
A Beloved Friend and Leader
Kneeling before Saitou's tombstone, Rei Saiba placed a pair of white flowers down against the Dark Angel's grave. A few tears dropped from her eyes.
"You've taught us just how reliable we can be, Saitou-san," Rei whispered. "We won't let our powers go to waste."
"Saitou-san, I never thought I'd say this, but I really did like you more than just a teacher," Mari said. "I even grown to love you, but now I can't share those feelings for you… You're gone but off to a better place. I hope your soul finds eternal happiness and that Kami-sama can give you a chance to redeem for your sins."
"Wherever he goes, he'll find eternal paradise," Hideto said. "But, I just came to realize that his philosophies against the human race was nothing more than rubbish. Ever since the Dark God exposed himself, I became convinced that he wasn't the savior that Saitou had spoken of so fondly."
"That monster even threatened our own world," Neo replied. "But, it's all over now. Taichi and his friends have already defeated him. Saitou can rest eternally now. We all must move on with our lives. Rei, we still have a family waiting for us."
"Yes, big brother."
"Now I have the confidence to make better friends and not allow my ego to drive them away," Mari said. "I can even draw more attention by my gaming and idol skills."
"I hope you can forgive me, Neo… For your sister's accident. It's my fault," Hideto asked for forgiveness.
"Wounds heal in due time. Saitou-san saved my sister by healing her injuries. You proved loyalty when you joined our cause. That's all the forgiveness I need," Neo said.
"Thank you, Neo…"
"And I… Well, I have a home to return to," Sigma spoke up. "Good bye everyone."
"Ready to go, Rei?"
"Of course, Neo. This is start of a new beginning."
Giving an assuring nod to his little sister, Neo walked off towards a different direction from the group. His thoughts were no longer clouded with many negative thoughts as before. Rei turns around and gives her final regards to the heroes that helped to stop Zeed. An image of Tai and his family appeared above the blue skies, which brought a smile on Rei's face.
"Taichi. Sora. Max. Everyone. I hope we'll get to meet one day. The Taichi of my world is no different from you. You truly are heroes of courage. May our paths once again cross one day…"
Digi Fusion-Earth. Away from Rainbow Bridge . Local beach coast.
With peace restored to one alternate world, it would seem prosperity was already underway in this world. The destructive left upon Tokyo was finally repaired due to the wish made on the Digicores. The lives of those lost as a result of the attacks were restored and given a second opportunity.
Meanwhile, a huge celebration was taking place on the beach coast away from Rainbow Bridge. There was a bonfire created with a large crowd of people gathering together. These were the Digi-Destined along with their allies throwing a major party victory. This is exactly what they needed since the last few days have been nothing but hell.
Encircling around the bonfire were Tai, Max, X, Agumon, Takato, Guilmon, Takuya and Tyler. They chanted some songs while moving around the fiery circle.
The majority of ladies were sitting across from the bonfire while conversing with one another. Sora, Mimi, little Keke, Dorothy, older Keke, Rika and Zoe were talking to each other while sipping drinks.
"Wow, so you can turn into something called an ascendant?" little Keke asked her older, alternate counterpart.
"Yeah, but it takes years of training and commitment. X actually taught me how to control it. It feels great once you get used to it."
"Wow, I'm really excited to realize this power. Max's been all over X about it."
"Just keep training and never stop. Eventually you will reach it. Then again, you can always come to me whenever you need assistance."
"Thanks."
"So, Dorothy. What did you and Tai talk about?" Sora asked the blonde teen.
"Um, well… It's something you and Max will have to ask him. He wants to talk to you about it."
"I see… So what made you want to move in with us?"
"Well… Let's just say that paying my own rent is getting a little hectic and the bills are getting too troublesome. Working double shifts and going to school haven't been doing me any favors. Plus, I really need to find some time to train."
"I see. Well, you're more than welcome to stay as long as you want with us. Besides, I know Max would love to have you around."
"I know he would. He's such a sweet boy…"
"Speaking of Max, look at him. He's enjoying himself with his father," Sora sighed happily. "They're both the most important people in my life. I would never stand the thought of losing both of them."
"I know… Speaking of love, I've been trying to get to know Henry a little better."
"Oh, is that so?"
"I mean who would have thought a reincarnation of the D-Reaper would be falling for a Tamer?"
"How does Henry feel about you?"
"Since we attend some classes together, he seems to enjoy my company. I mean besides Takato and Rika, I'm his closest friend."
"I see. Well, I think it would a perfect opportunity to let know how you feel."
"Oh, I don't know…"
"C'mon Dorothy Kaimodosu. You're a fearless warrior, but afraid to admit your feelings to a boy? You are a girl after all!"
Once hearing upon this, the blonde gasped out and blushed under her cheeks. She wouldn't admit, but she really does show affection for Janyuu's son. If somebody had told Henry that the reincarnation of the D-Reaper would like him more than just a friend, then he'd call that person insane. Dorothy simply couldn't bring herself to admit her feelings for him.
"C'mon, now! You don't have to get all shy!" Mimi giggled.
"But Henry and I are only friends! Nothing more!"
"Suuuuuure," the ladies shared a laugh.
"There's no need to hide your feelings, blondie," Rika snickered. "I'll admit that I wasn't too fond of Goggle Head but once I became closer friends with him, something just sparked. You may call Henry 'just a friend' now, but that's not going to last long."
"It's obvious he has a thing for you," Zoe butted in. "Don't be afraid to admit your feelings towards him. Just be yourself and you should do fine."
"Wow, I'd never thought I'd be hearing this from you. Thank you. I'll make this one count," she nodded. "Though, I really don't want this to ruin our friendship. I'm in a real tight spot."
Elsewhere, the ravenous duo of Tike and Kara faced off with their younger counterparts. It looked as though they were preparing to duel, not card dueling mind you. A dramatic cue for a tumbleweed passed them by. Then, the two Tikes immediately broke up the silence with a loud unified cry.
"DIG IN!"
The four children jumped in and started to engulf a large quantity of food. The younger siblings were up to the task of out eating their older counterparts in a contest of iron-clad stomachs.
Looking on from a distance were Kari and TK with their digimon partners. They couldn't help but sigh at the ravenous and impolite way their children were consuming their food.
"Oh boy. I'll never get tired of this," TK sighed.
"Well, they are growing children," Kari replied.
"Kari," Lady Moinanea approached the couple with Shintomon by her side.
"Oh, hi there, Lady Moinanea. How's the baby coming along?"
"Well, Kari. It should be due in three months."
"Wow, that's great. We're all excited to see it become born," Gatomon smiled. "Congratulations."
"Thank you," Shintomon nodded.
"Kari. I came here to tell inform you of something," Lady Moinanea said.
"Oh? What is it?"
"Well… As soon as Shintomon and I left back to our realm before returning for the party, I was given a message from the Queen of the Amazon digimon clan."
"An Amazon digimon queen?" Patamon asked.
"Yes. Her name is Athenamon and she directly sent me an e-mail telling me that I should inform you that she would like an audience with you and some of the female warriors."
"Oh? Well, that's quite a privilege. Kari, maybe you should consider it," TK nodded. "In fact, Mystic Celesta is the strongest of the female warriors on our side."
"Well, yeah that's true. But I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for my brother and Gosenzomon."
"Indeed. I don't know what she has planned, but I'm willing to bet that she would like to challenge you, Hikari."
"Me?"
"Or perhaps train you."
"Wow, I mean. I'm shocked. I kind of figured she would have selected Rika instead of me."
"Well, you are the sibling of Taichi, the strongest of the Digital Warriors. It'd make sense for Athenamon to select you. Perhaps she even wants Rika to join you. What do you think?"
"So, has a date been given? When do I get to meet her?"
"She said at any given day and anytime you would become available. She has left instructions of how to reach her planet, but I'm sure Goddess Moinanea can help you with that matter."
"So, have you decided to bring anyone along to accompany you?" Shintomon asked the Digi-Destined of Light. "Athenamon would be greatly impressed to know that you aren't the only female to have defended this planet against enemies countless of times."
"Well… I know Rika would jump at this opportunity. So I'll take her along. I'll see if Zoe, Dorothy and Sonja would like to come."
"That sounds good," Lady Moinanea smiled. "I'll be sure to inform Athenamon of this matter. She'll be very excited to meet you, Kari."
"Well, I'm honored."
"Hey, at least you're getting recognition," TK said to his wife.
"Well, duh. After all, we did defeat Virus. Right, Kari?"
"That's true and that should catch Athenamon's attention. I'm really excited about this. I wonder what she has planned for me!" Kari smiled excitedly.
"You'll know once you meet her, Hikari," Shintomon replied.
Across from where Shintomon was conversing with Kari and TK, Pikkan and Leomon were sitting down across the sands. Jeri walked up to Pikkan and offered him a hand.
"Would you like to join me and dance, Pikkan?"
"…"
"What's wrong? You don't like to dance?"
"It's… not that… Us Alterians are warriors and not dancers. Sorry, but I can't bring myself to look like a fool."
"Oh, you're not going to totally embarrass yourself," Jeri giggled. "C'mon, just go with the flow of the music. I'll even lead the way."
"Thanks, but no thanks…"
"Come on now, Pikkan. Even I've grown accustomed to livening it up," Leomon snickered as he pushed Pikkan forward.
Jeri takes Pikkan's right hand and leads him off to the bonfire to dance to the beats of the J-Rock beats. The Alterian attempted to get away but couldn't resist the gentleness of Jeri's hand. He walked beside Jeri, but turned to give Leomon a menacing glare.
"Have fun."
"I'm going to get you for this, you son of a-"
"Now, Pikkan. Just follow my lead, ok?" Jeri said.
"Sure…"
"Ha! Look at Pikkan! I didn't know he'd be ready to get his groove on!" Kazu couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't blame him. I can't dance worth crap either," sighed Guardromon.
"You're a walking trash heap. Of course you can't dance, but Pikkan is built to be a dancer," Kenta stated. "Go, Pikkan! Let's see how you Alterians boogie!"
"I'll kill you two if you don't shut it!" the Alterian roared out.
Playing the roles as disc jockeys, Tentomon and Gomamon were sporting shades and caps. Calumon came flying by and sits on top of their tent.
"I say we switch out to some rave," Tentomon suggested.
"Nah, this J-Rock sounds better," Gomamon replied. "We can save rave for a little later. Besides, I don't Joe likes rave."
"What was that? For your information, I happen to find rave pretty decent. Only when I'm in the mood for it," Joe responded to his partner. "What do you say, Izzy?"
Sitting away from the Digi-Destined of Reliability, Izzy and Talley were drinking glasses of wine together. They were too preoccupied with each other's discussion and it didn't seem Izzy was available to reply to Joe's question. That is until Joe cleared his throat to get his friend's attention.
"A-hem…"
"Oh! Sorry about that, Joe," Izzy replied. "I wasn't even paying attention."
"Never mind…"
"What did he ask me?" Izzy asked his girlfriend.
"He asked if you preferred rave."
"It doesn't matter to me, but I prefer the music we're getting now. Tentomon and Gomamon ought to start their own digi-disc jockey club or even a business."
"Thanks for the compliments, pal," Tentomon bowed. "Maybe we can start our own tour. What do you say Gomamon?"
"Sure, that'd be great, but you leave the advertising to me. I don't think anyone would buy into a buzzing insect. They need someone as witty and catchy like me."
"Getting full of yourself again, buddy?" Joe sighed.
"Gotta love me!"
As these five carried on with their conversation, Matt and Gabumon sat down on a stone to watch little Dimitri talking with his future counterpart. The boy was quite intrigued about the stories his older self was telling him about. This included the stories of himself in his past wars with the deadly artificials.
"Wow, so you're a fusion warrior like my dad? I always hear my dad telling me that, but wow! Now I'm hearing this from you and I'm really intrigued!" the boy said with glee.
"Well, there's a chance you won't get a digimon partner like I did with Faith," the older Dimitri replied as he pointed to his Patamon on top of his head.
"I see you becoming an ascendant like the other older D3s," Faith the Patamon spoke up.
"That'd be awesome! Then, I can challenge Max and we can have ourselves some memorable duels, kind of like our dads did years ago!"
"Only don't go destroying the planet while you're at it," the older Dimitri laughed.
"Yeah! No kidding!"
Older Dimitri turns his attention to his father and walks over to him. Matt slightly lifts his head up to makes eye contact with his future period son.
"Dimitri. I'm happy to know you and your mother are still enjoying peaceful times," Matt said. "Has the planet fully been reconstructed?"
"It took quite a while, but everything has been repaired. The Digital World in my time needs some time to heal, but it'll get better. I see my present day self is enjoying a much happier life. Have you and mother managed to get closer while I was away?"
"Slowly, but surely. She's still bossy as ever and I'm always the first to walk out the door. I love her, but I can't deal with her nagging."
"Believe me. I know how you feel," Dimitri snickered. "But I still love my mother."
"Yes. Well, I'm just glad you decided to come back to see us. It's been a while since we heard from you."
"I would have come sooner but I had a little detour as you know. Zeed stopped to kill me, but it was great working together with you and everyone. Galactic X was quite the force, wasn't he?"
"That he was, my son. We don't have to ever worry about him ever again. But, there's still something that troubles me."
"What's that?"
"It's about Tai…"
"What about him?"
"He's intent on leaving us to find this Digi-Mazoku on his own. I don't know how long he will be gone for, but I'm going to confront him on the matter before he does leave."
"You really think he'd leave us just like that?"
"Son, you and I know that he has grown accustomed to facing new challenges. Ever since he first became Omega X, he's always wanted to test out his powers and ascend further. He's been like that ever since and he doesn't plan on stopping. If not now, then never. I need to confront him and tell him straight front that I too will continue to push my limits."
"Are you still seeking to be better than Tai, dad?"
"It's not the matter of being better than him anymore. I'd like to challenge his Digi-Mazoku strength. If he can reach the fifth level, then I can too. Just wait and see."
"I know you can do it, father."
"Thanks for the support. But, now, if you'll excuse me. You know what I have to do."
"Sure, dad."
Sitting up from his rock seat, Matt gets up and walks over towards where Tai and Max were celebrating around the bonfire. Pikkan was quick to find the Digi-Destined of Friendship set to have a 'word' with Tai.
"Sorry, Jeri, but I have some important business to attend to."
"Where are you going? We were just getting into the groove."
"I know and we can do this a little later. There's something I have to address to Taichi."
"Well, okay. If it's that important…"
Nodding hid head, Pikkan takes off across the sand and stops just in time to see Tai facing off with Matt. The blonde-haired young man waved over to the Digi-Destined of Courage. Pikkan stops to find the pair stepping away from the party group and towards a hidden spot behind some beach rocks.
"Damn, he beat me to the punch. Oh well, I can just hear out what they have to say. Should be interesting…"
The two rivals faced off with one another as an ensuing stare down took place. Both eyes were locked tightly onto one another as if they were ready to bash each other's faces in. Matt was to first to speak and break the long, dramatic silence.
"Well, I see your serious for leaving your boy and Sora like this just to fight this Digi-Mazoku ancestor of Agumon's and… yours technically speaking," Matt said.
"I know and I'm going to give that announcement in just a minute. It won't be a popular decision, but this is something I have to do. I need to be convinced if I can defeat this guy. Plus, I want to make him pay for interfering in my fight with Saitou. I had that victory in my clutches. That bastard stole my glory…"
"I can't argue with you there. I would have been pissed off too if I was in your position."
"Really?"
"Sure I would! I'd go to that Dark Realm, search every corner of that place and hunt that bastard down like a dog! I wouldn't give up until his blood was stained on my hands. But would you leave your family just to please your own ego?"
"I know it sounds selfish of me, but I need to be convinced that I can take this guy down. If I defeat them, then I can return home. Even if it takes me ten years to train to kill that guy, I'll do it."
"Sora and Max are going to miss you."
"Don't worry. I can still keep in contact with them using telepathy, but you're right. They'd rather have me there in person. On the other hand, I've asked Dorothy to look after my family during my absence."
"I see."
"So, was there anything else you wanted to tell me?"
"Well, since you're going to challenge this so-called Digi-Mazoku lord, that means you're going to train. I mean really intense training."
"I have to. This Digi-Mazoku seems stronger than Saitou and the extra training will be required. I'm still not convinced if I can even beat him as a level five."
"You're kidding! You reached the level five and destroyed Saitou! And you still say you don't stand a chance against this Digi-Mazoku?"
"Every challenge I've come against had proven to be unpredictable. Think about it, Matt. All the enemies we've faced, I've fought and tested the limits of my power. My first greatest challenge was you."
"Yeah, I remember our first one on one battle as if it were yesterday. I can't believe I was out for blood during that time. I came close to murdering you and how I could have I accused you of stealing TK from me?"
"Well, you did give me one hell of a fight. You pushed me and War Greymon to our limits. Then along came the next rotation of challenges. The Demon Corps. Burizalor. The Artificials. Virus. D-Reaper. Bebimon. The Super Artificial. Novadramon. Doomsdramon. Saitou. Then, Zeed. All of them have proven to be great opponents. Excluding Zeed, I truly believe this Digi-Mazoku has an even greater than all of those guys. I'm anxious to find out if I can take him and whether I can ascend further. This is my opportunity, Matt."
"Then go. I'm not stopping you, but I think Sora and Max deserve to know what you're planning. Kari deserves it too. But, hear me out. If you can ascend further, then I can as well."
"Oh, I know you can do it. There's no doubt about it. I'm looking forward to the day we clash again. It'll be reliving old memories."
"Yes, it will be reliving the old days. The glory days."
Looking over towards his family and friends continuing to enjoy the party, Tai lets out a deep sigh and was ready to give his big announcement on his departure. He was filled with mixed emotions: sadness for leaving his loved ones but excitement to facing what could possibly be his next greatest challenge. He caught a glimpse of Max laughing happily with little Keke.
"Max. You've grown so much for an early age and matured somewhat. There's a good chance I might not even see you for ten years. That's if I can defeat this Digi-Mazoku lord beforehand. Sorry to say this but there's a chance I may not be coming back for a long time. That is if I survive… This is going to be so hard to tell Sora and Max."
Pikkan managed to probe through Tai's mind and was quite astonished by the news. The thought of Tai continuing to pursue more great powers has forced the Alterian to continue his pace with this training. He would not allow himself to be left out in the dust.
"So, that's your intention, Tai? Well, two can play it that game. You not only have Matt to worry about but me, too. I'll continue my training and become strong enough to challenge you. Just you wait and see," Pikkan thought.
Tai and Matt walked out of their hidden location to appear before everyone within the party itself. The Digi-Destined of Courage whistled out to gain the attention of everyone. They quickly stopped their ongoing celebrations to give the leader their undivided attention. Goddess Moinanea turned her gaze upon Tai and gives him a nod. It was time. The earth-shattering announcement was set to be made and it would change the lives of the whole Digi-Destined teams forever.
"Everyone. I'd like to thank you for all coming to this celebration party after accomplishing what was out greatest victory. We, as one, defeated the Dark God and rid our universe of his darkness. Starting yesterday was the dawning of a new era. Our world and the Digital Worlds were spared total annihilation. We've received help from many of the heroes across other alternate worlds. Their donated energy and our Life Bomb was responsible for Galactic X's formation. In the end, we managed to save our universe. We should be proud of ourselves."
As he said that, everyone nodded their heads in agreement and clapped their hands in unison. Tai raised his hands and silenced his peers immediately. They allowed the leader to continue on with this speech.
"It's been nearly two decades since the legend of the Digi-Destined has come to pass. We've become legendary heroes and will written in the digi-history books. Already having defeated the ultimate darkness, I guess there's one question left for us to answer. Where do we go from here? What lies ahead for our futures? I'll bet that's what everyone of you are thinking now. Some of you might even consider continuing your duties as a Digi-Destined, Tamer, Legendary Warrior or whatever you are affiliated with. Others might return back to their normal, civilian lives. There are some that might consider pushing their training to their limit. Whatever, it really doesn't matter where our lives go from here. But remember this. You've done your duty and you should be proud. I've done my part for twenty years and I'm not even close to considering retirement. Heck, in fact, I'm setting my sights on my next challenge. I've made a decision. It's not going to be a very popular one, but I've made my final decision…"
Max gasped under his breath and knew exactly what his father was going to reveal. Even Sora was nervous about this whole ordeal. Everyone else awaited in anticipation, with a mixture of confusion and doubt. X could clearly know what his apprentice was going to announce. It would be most definitely be earth-shattering.
…
…
Tai looks over to Goddess Moinanea and makes direct eye contact with her. She could tell from the look on his face that he meant business.
"Goddess. I'm ready to go. That's right, everyone. I'm going to be leaving for the Dark Realm."
"What!" nearly the whole group exclaimed out in unison.
"No way! You can't be leaving!" exclaimed Mimi.
"How can you just say this and leave us! We're Digi-Destined!" TK shouted.
"Tai? Are you just going to leave us like this?" Kari calls out to her brother. "No… Don't tell me…"
"So, you are going back to the Dark Realm, aren't you?" Sora snapped. "I knew it! You're going to leave us to find that bastard ancestor of Agumon's…"
"He's also my ancestor! Remember, my DNA and data mixed with Agumon's Mazoku blood! I've inherited the Digi-Mazoku seed!" Tai retorted back at his protesters. "This was a decision I made! I'm not about to go back on it. This is something I have to do. He interfered with my good fight against Saitou."
"Tai! Just drop it! We just defeated our greatest enemy yesterday and now you still want to continue on?" Yolei calls out. "Sora's right! Forget about that no good Digi-Mazoku lord! You're home is with Max and Sora! They need you more than anything!"
"A real father stays to take care of his family. He doesn't go and abandon them!" Zoe agreed.
"No! You guys don't get it!" Takato sat up and shouted back at the protesters. "Ok, what Tai's doing is pretty reckless. I'll admit it. However, you guys don't have the right to question his decision! You know… I would have taken the same approach if I were in Tai's shoes. I'd find that guy and beat the living hell out of him!"
"Like Tai said, that Digi-Mazoku interfered in a grand fight!" Takuya speaks out.
"Besides, I'm sure Tai is coming back. Right, buddy?" Davis asked.
"I don't know… Maybe… Maybe not. Just give me at least ten years…"
"TEN YEARS!"
"Yeah, I just don't know how strong this guy will actually be. I might need to train harder than I've ever had before. I'm willing to bet I can push my level five status higher than it already is. I want to push myself to my ultimate limits. X, I'm sure you understand this is a fight I have to partake in."
"Well, I'm disappointed with your choice to leave your family behind… But, if this is what you want, I won't be stopping you."
"But I will," Sora said as she sat up. "Tai! We've been through enough already! You said yourself. We've spent twenty years protecting our world and the Digital Worlds. We've done our job. Let's move on and prepare for the future."
"I know what I said and I still intend to press on with a bright and shining future. But, my mission is far from finished. You guys have a choice to continue at what you do best or you can retire to normal lives. I'm not forcing anything on you. That is why I asked Dorothy to stay with you and Max. Dorothy, you understand where I'm getting at."
"Yes. Please, listen to your husband, Mrs. Kamiya," Dorothy calmed the young woman. "He obviously knows what he's doing. It's not as if he's rushing to his death. I trust in his judgment."
"Sora. I just might have to agree with Dorothy," X spoke up. "In fact, it's not as if you'll even lose contact with him anyway. Goddess Moinanea. You can grant both Max and Sora opportunities to see Tai every now and then during his training, right?"
"Yes. You still have myself, the lady and Shintomon to depend on when need be," Goddess Moinanea replied.
"Don't forget about myself and Lord Gosenzomon," Buddamon said.
"You see? Everything is in good hands, but Tai is on his own when it comes down to waging combat with this specific Digi-Mazoku," said Shintomon. "Everything should be ok."
"I trust them, mom. You should, too," Max assured Sora.
"Whatever makes Max's dad happy, then I'm not going to argue," Keke shrugged her shoulders. "Though, it's not going to be the next without you here."
"Don't worry. I'll keep in touch with each and everyone of you. Don't consider this as a long goodbye. I will be back," Tai directed his attention to everyone, most specifically towards Sora.
"Tai… I…" the redhead muttered to herself.
"Oh mom," Max whispered.
Tai steps away from where he took his stance and marches forward to his weeping wife. The woman's eyes were filled with tears. Soon, every other woman and female were sharing their sentiment for Sora Takenouchi Kamiya.
She lifts her head up and finds herself approached by Tai. The young man lifted her chin with his finger and looks directly into her eyes with a calm and assuring manner.
"Sora. I will be back. That's a promise. In ten years, on this very day, I will be back on this beach site."
"…You promise? You promise, Taichi Kamiya?"
The Kamiya male lowered himself forward and presses his lips against hers. The couple shared a heart-warming, passionate kiss for all to see. Max and X were delighted to view this first hand. The bearers of Courage and Love have a stronger bond than perhaps any of the other couples. Even Rika and Sonja could feel their own hearts feeling touched by this affection shared by the lovers.
"That's a promise, Sora Takenouchi Kamiya. I will be back."
"Good luck, Tai," Biyomon bowed.
"Dad! I know you will keep your word. We'll be waiting for you!" Max stated.
"Want me to give you a farewell hug, little guy?"
Smiling a wide grin, Max scrambles over towards his father. The young man lowered down to his knees and caught his son in a deep fatherly hug. The boy wrapped his arms around Tai and buried his face against his right shoulder. Warm tears poured down the boy's soft face.
"Dad…"
"Max. You're the man of the house now, kid. I know you and Dorothy will take care of mom while Agumon and I are away."
"I love you dad…"
"I love you too, son. I know you'll grow up to be quite the fine young man. Of course, you and everyone can visit me anytime as long as you call Goddess Moinanea. She'll help guide you to where I'm located. You'll be fifteen when I actually do come back. I'm looking forward to seeing you as a teenager. You keep training and don't lose that fighting spirit. I'll be looking forward to how much stronger you'll be."
"And you give that Digi-Mazoku jerk the beating he deserves. Show him that a Kamiya never quits!"
Tai set Max down and gives him a thumbs up. The boy nods in reply to his father's self assuredness. Before Tai set off to meet with Goddess Moinanea, Takato stopped in front of the leader.
"Tai… I'm going to miss you. You know if it wasn't for you and your sister, I wouldn't have been the where I am right now. You two taught me that there is more to digimon than combat, but there's friendship and trust. You helped to unify us, Tamers. Rika. Henry. Kazu. Kenta. Jeri. Suzie. Myself. Ryo, even though he's gone from this world. We all thank you."
"Takato. I'm counting on you and the Tamers to uphold your duties, but don't stress yourselves. You guys are still young and have long ways to go. Guilmon. Terriermon. Renamon. Guardromon. Marine Angemon. Leomon. Lopmon. Pikkan. You guys provide the Tamers the support they need in case a crisis ever arrives."
"Just leave to us, dude!" Terriermon placed his hand against his heart and gives a military-style salute.
"We shall protect our Tamers with our lives," Renamon nodded.
"Good luck, man. We won't forget you! You're like our hero!" Kazu calls out.
"A hero we can all look up to!" Guardromon responded. "We salute you!"
"It was an honor to fight alongside you," Kenta bowed his head.
"Pi! Pi!"
"Don't worry, Tai. I will be sure to protect Takato," Guilmon smiled. "You and Agumon find that meanie that interrupted your fight!"
"Good journey, dear warriors," Lopmon bowed. "As the last surviving Deva, I honor your presence."
"Taichi. It was an honor to fight alongside of you," Leomon stepped forward to shake Tai's hand. "You've grown up a lot since the adventure on File Island. We fought countless battles together and I will forever cherish them. I will still carry out my duty as a warrior to protecting Jeri."
"In the name of the Alterians, my sworn duty is to guard Jeri with my life. But that doesn't mean I won't stop training to get my shot at you," Pikkan stated.
"Culu! Culu! I hope we meet again, Tai!" Calumon giggled as he flew around Tai's head.
"Same to you guys. You too, Calumon. Oh and Impmon?"
The tiny viral rookie steps out of hiding and stands in front of Tai. The Digi-Destined of Courage lowered down to give the imp a handshake.
"I may not like a whole lots of guys, but you're A-Okay in my book," Impmon said. "Ice this Mazoku jerk, Ka-peesh?"
"Bada-Bing!" Tai responded while giving his own impersonation of the imp.
"Tai. My father and I were happy to have met you. We wouldn't know the digimon better if it wasn't for you and the Digi-Destined," Henry stepped up to give the leader a respectful handshake.
"The honor was mine. Oh and Dorothy really has a thing for you. If I were you, I'd tell her how you really feel because I think she shares the same sentiments for you, Henry."
"Ha! I knew it! Henry has a crush on Dorothy!" Terriermon laughed.
"I… I…"
Suddenly, Henry turned around and saw Dorothy standing behind him. There was a slight red blush covering both of their cheeks but Henry was literally sweating like a pig. The blonde gives a sly smile to him and took his right hand.
"So, what kind of sweet things has Henry said about me, Terriermon?" the girl giggled.
"Oh, wait till I reveal all! You're going to get a kick out of it!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Tai!" Suzie waved to the young man.
"See ya, Suzie. Make sure your brother takes care of himself."
Once finishing his goodbyes to the Tamers, he moved onto his fellow Digi-Destined. Davis, Sonja, Veemon and David were the first to say their farewells to the Digi-Destined leader.
"Tai… I don't know what to say… But I love you, man!" Davis cried out. "Not in that kind of way of course… I hope me taking your place during your absence when we were stopping the Kaiser was enough for you to accept me as the next generation's goggle head."
"No doubt about it. You've earned your stripes, Davis. Make sure you keep those goggles. They are a true symbol of courage. You have a long life ahead of you. You have a great wife and a cool kid. Let's hope that little noodle shop grows into a mass market."
"Thanks, Tai. It was an honor to fight alongside of you."
"You, too."
"See you later, Mr. Kamiya," David replied.
"You, too, kid. Be sure to keep my boy and his friends company. You guys will make fine warriors one day."
"You hear that mom? I'm going to be a great warrior just like my dad and Tai!"
"Taichi… To think I had my full humanity taken away and operated as a weapon to assassinate you," Sonja sighed. "If it wasn't for Davis, I wouldn't be fighting on your side. You showed me that my brother was actually fighting on our side. You're a great man. You have a wonderful wife and child. Make sure you tear this Digi-Mazoku bastard apart and add another victim on your hit list."
"Thanks. You're all right. I know you will take good care of Davis."
"Yes."
"Speaking of former weapons assigned to kill their target, you can't forget about me," BW stepped up. "Tai. As I was formerly Black War Greymon, I came to realize what it is like to have real soul and heart. Datamon is a thing of the past. I shall move on with his prosperous, peaceful future. However, should another threat arise, you know I'll give your friends the aid they need."
"Thanks, BW."
"We know you will do your part in helping others," Agumon bowed.
Next up were Yolei, Ken and the two Sams. Tai goes over to shake their hand one by one. Tai actually gave Yolei a hug to help suppress her tears.
"Ken. Yolei. You two have a large family to take care of. Make sure they all eat healthy and grow up to be fine people."
"Thanks, Taichi," Ken and Yolei responded.
"Good luck on your journey, old chap," Hawkmon said.
"We know and believe you will return back safely," Wormmon nodded.
Tai turns his attention over to Cody, Armadillomon, Joe, Gomamon, Izzy and Tentomon. The leader shakes each of their hands and gives his human friends pats on their backs.
"Izzy. I'll never forget the day I suggested to give your computer a few whacks to fix it," Tai snickered.
"Ha, ha. I'll never forget."
"I'm only just teasing, buddy. You take good care of Talley. You and her really hit off really well."
"It was pleasure to get to know you better, Mr. Kamiya," Talley shook Tai's hand.
"Please, just call me Tai. You and Izzy have been seeing each other for five years. It'll be cool if you two decided to tie the…"
"You mean marriage?" Izzy asked. "Um, well… Heh… Wait! How did you know I was planning on asking her hand in marriage!"
Smiling like a thief, Tai holds out a black box in his hand. Izzy gasped out and searched his side pockets.
"Tai! How… did you…?"
"I may not lie or cheat, but I sure can steal!" Tai snickered.
"TAI! THAT'S MY RING!"
"Here. Catch."
Tossing the box to Izzy, the computer whiz swiftly snatched it in his hand and wiped his forehead. Suddenly, he found a shadow approaching his side. It was Talley with a perplexed look on her face. She couldn't believe was actually considering a hand in marriage.
"Izzy, is this true? You mean that surprise you were planning was a wedding ring for marriage?"
"Yeah, but I wanted to make it special until Mr. Thief snatched it out of my coat pocket!"
"Izzy! You should have said so earlier!" Talley chuckled.
"I'll let you two settle this affair," Tai said. "Next? Oh yeah. Kari and TK."
Stepping forward, he looked across to find Kari's eyes swelling up with tears. Then he came across TK. The two males shook hands and gave each other a hug.
"TK. I'm counting on you to look after my sister while I'm away. I know I can trust you."
"You can count on me, Tai. Kari and the kids are in good hands."
"And you always have us to protect them," Patamon and Gatomon said in unison.
"And us, too!" the older Tike and Kara spoke out. "Though we will have to go back to Huanlongmon, we'll watch over them."
"We're going to miss you, Uncle Tai!" the younger counterparts cried in unison. "Don't leave us!"
"You two make sure not to give your mother and daddy a hard time. Oh and ease down on the buffets."
"Ha, like that will ever happen," older Tike snickered.
Kari…"
The brown-haired female rushes over to her brother and wraps her arms around him. Her eyes swelled up with tears. Tai responded by patting her back to sooth her.
"Tai… Please be careful…"
"Kari. You've grown up to be a strong girl with a heart of courage. You're a true Kamiya and saved this planet."
"No thanks to you, TK and everyone else."
"No, it was all you, Kari. You make sure and show this Athenamon what Mystic Celesta is made of when you decide to see her."
"Huh? But how did you-"
"Take care of yourself, Hikari…"
"Sayanora, Taichi…"
Next, Tai made his way over to Mimi, Palmon and the two Kekes. He gives a heartfelt hug to Mimi and patted her back to calm her tears. She goes over and shakes both of the Kekes' hands.
"It was great to meet you, Mr. Kamiya. You're even better than what Max often tells me about you. You and my dad make the greatest team," little Keke smiled.
"Tai. You take care of yourself," Mimi sniffled a tear. "Come back to us safely."
Tai steps forward to give Takuya a handshake and a praise of honor for donning the 'goggles'.
"Takuya. You, Takato and Davis are goggle heads who will carry out the honor or protecting this world in my absence. When I return, what do you say we go and catch up on old times?"
"That sounds good, Tai," Takuya nodded. "You truly are the general amongst us goggle heads. The Warrior of Flame salutes you."
"It was good to get to meet you," Zoe approached Tai. "May peace be of journey to you."
"Good luck, fellow warrior," Tyler bowed his head.
"Even though we've only gotten to know you better for only the past year, it was my pleasure to fight alongside you," JP saluted the leader.
"Good luck, Mr. Tai Kamiya," Tommy shook the Digi-Destined of Courage's hand.
"Have a safe journey and come back to us," Kouji bowed.
"May the spirits guide you, my friend," Kouichi gives his regards for Taichi.
"Thanks, Legendary Warriors. Be sure to keep on alert in case the Celestials need you again," Tai reminded the Spirit Digi-Destined.
Next, X, Shintomon, Gosenzomon, Lady Moinanea and Buddamon were waiting. Tai shakes the hands from Gosenzomon and Buddamon. He looks over to Shintomon and shakes the Supreme Guardian's hand.
"Shintomon. You've always been there when I needed you."
"Same to you, Taichi. It's been an honor to meet you, your family and beloved friends. However, this won't be the last time we'll meet. Actually, with Goddess Moinanea on our side, we just might visit more often for the next decade."
"That's great. Hope you'll drop by to see me train every now and then. Oh and one more thing, make sure that baby is healthy, my lady."
"Thank you, Taichi. You don't know how much this means to me and Shintomon. The baby will be due in a few short months."
"Then, if I have the chance, make sure to invite me over to your planet."
"Don't worry about that, my boy," Gosenzomon spoke up. "We'll come to you."
"Tai…"
The young man turns around and is confronted by the older version of his son. The two shared a warm embrace, as if they were actual father and son.
"Thanks for everything, X. You trained me and Agumon. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here right now."
"I merely trained you. You did all the fusion ascensions all on your way. I merely opened the door of opportunity for you. Whatever your new mission leads you, we'll be sure to be waiting. All of us," X replied as he stepped away. "Show that Digi-Mazoku lord what you're made of! Show him what Omega X truly is about."
"I intend to. That Mazoku is going to get the biggest wake up call of his life time," Tai smiled. "X. You are the mirror of my son. Do me a favor and visit him anytime. He could use your company. Perhaps, you can train him?"
"Of course. You know I'm willing to train a third apprentice. Of course, I'll need Sora's permission but I'm sure she'll let this one slide."
"We'll meet again, X. You can count on it."
"I know."
With an assuring nod, Tai gives a firm handshake to X and steps away to confront Matt. The rival pointed to an opposite direction towards older Dimitri and the younger one.
"Tai. Be careful and defeat this Mazoku lord for all of us," older Dimitri stated.
"You tell your mom I said hi in your time, Dimitri," Tai gives a peace sign to the young man.
"If you need someone to be Max's sparing partner, I'm up for it," younger Dimitri gives a thumbs up.
"Train well, kid. I'll be looking for great results from all of you."
Finally, Tai set his sights on his rival, Matt Ishida. The blonde-haired male gives a nod to Tai.
"Well, it's bee a fun ride while it lasted, Matt. Who would have thought we'd be here as friends?"
"It has been a long road, but that doesn't mean I'd like to go one on one with you again like old times."
"Sorry we can't do it not, but… Well you know…"
"I understand. You have to kick the crap out of the who interfered with your fight. I'm in no inclination to stop you. But, hear me out. You make sure and beat him senseless. Show him that a Digital warrior is a force to be reckoned with!"
"I will, Matt! You can count on that!"
Giving each other a smirk, Tai looks over to Sora and Max once again. He motions over to Agumon and slowly sets his trek towards Goddess Moinanea. Max steps forward and waves out to his father before he makes his farewell waves to everyone.
"Goodbye everyone! I'll be back in this world in ten years," Tai calls out to everyone.
He steps over towards his family vehicle and pulls out a brown satchel bag. The leader throws it over his right shoulder and sets off over to Goddess Moinanea. The majestic omnipotent power nodded her head and immediately forced open a portal behind her.
"Ready to go, Taichi?"
"Hang on a second."
Tai once again makes eye contact with the group. Reaching down into his pocket, he pulls out D-Terminal and a replica of his former crest. He tosses them over to Max. The boy responds and flies out to catch both objects.
"Dad… Um, I don't know what to say…"
"Don't say anything. Just think of those as objects to remember me by. You can use that D-Terminal to contact me anytime you want. I'll be available whenever you want to talk. I'm always with you despite us being so far apart."
"Thanks, daddy," Max sniffled a tear while putting the crest necklace around his neck. "I won't forget you! Make sure you live up to your promise! I'll be waiting here with mom!"
"I'll be looking forward to seeing you guys. Well, this is it everyone. It's a long run… Take care of yourselves! Sayanora!"
Calling out to the beloved Digi-Destined of Courage, the entire group waved out and gave their regards for the young man's perilous journey into the Dark Realm. Many unpredictable occurrences lie ahead for Tai and Agumon, but nothing would stand in their way to find Toushinmon.
Goddess Moinanea was the first to step through the portal, but not long before Tai and Agumon follow along behind her. Once they successfully passed through, the portal closed behind them. The four generations looked on as they looked back to the many important events involving the so-called 'General of the Digi-Destined'.
Max held the D-Terminal in one hand and gazed down at the crest replica.
"This is great, Max. You're so lucky. You still have a chance to talk to your dad," little Keke giggled.
"Yeah. I know he'll come back. He's never broken a promise. Right, mom?"
"Yes… C'mon, Max. It seems everybody is ready to get back to their families. We ought to do the same."
"There's one thing that still bothers me though," Max spoke up.
"What is it?" asked X.
"Is what Goddess Moinanea said true? Will we ever see the Digicores again? Have they truly disappeared forever?"
"It's up to us to make sure we don't need them again, dear," Sora responded.
"That's right. We're being tested," X agreed.
"From here on, we have to not rely on anything else, and make this planet and the Digital Worlds make the universe a better place," Takato stated. "We'll do it by using our own strength."
"I can't argue with that," Rika nodded.
"Once that is recognized, I have not doubt the Digicores will return again someday. At least I hope…" Sora said. "That itself is a mystery. Will we ever see the Digicores again? Well, I know one thing for sure. Tai will come back. I'll be waiting for you."
"Well, it's about time we all head back home with our families," Jeri suggested to everyone.
"You heard Tai. This is the dawning of a new age. We all should just look ahead of what lies for us in the future," Henry said.
"Yeah. Um, hey, Max? You going to be okay?"
"Yeah…" Max sighed sadly. "Father…"
"Max," Matt spoke up. "Make sure you hold onto those two items. Only you have direct contact with your father. Well, it's about time I start heading back home. C'mon, kids. Mimi. We're heading out."
Looking directly to the dark skies above, Max saw a shooting star pass by and he grabbed the crest around his neck. He closed his eyes and made a wish to himself upon the shooting star.
"A shooting star just passed by. If there's any one wish I'd like granted, it would be… I wish… I wish my father returns home safely. That's all that matters to me."
And so… Tai and Agumon have left with Goddess Moinanea to the Dark Realm to confront the Digi-Mazoku Lord who had used the Digi-Destined of Courage as his personal marionette in the fight against Himo Saitou. Uncharted avenues and great challenges await the duo with the strongest Synisters lurking in the shadows. However, they will not step down from the challenge and will press onward to confront the one named Toushinmon. With Goddess Moinanea's guidance, they have no worries about getting lost within the dimension.
While Tai and his digimon partner journey into the Dark Realm, ten years would pass by on Earth. The lives of each of the Digi-Destined, Tamer and Legendary Warriors would change dramatically. Even Max and his little friends have done plenty of working up since the departure of Taichi Kamiya.
What about the Digicores? Unfortunately, they haven't returned during this ten year stint. The Digital Worlds have flourished under the watchful eye of Goddess Moinanea. Law and order was ultimately restored. Digital Limbo was forever sealed and no dead soul maybe allowed to cross through.
It seemed everything was right across the Digital Universe, as well as the real world. What exactly have the Digi-Destined and their allies been up to these past ten years?
Ten Years later. October 29, 2026 . Odaiba
Ten years have indeed passed and major reconstruction had occurred across Earth. Technology has heavily advanced. Machines have now evolved closer to complete A.I. programs. Hover cars were becoming a norm of the new society. Fashion itself has been upgraded. Recycling has begun to replace garbage disposals worldwide, which was at least helping the environment a bit. Recovery plans were made to not only help the environment but more efficient methods have been sought to create artificial foods.
The Digital World itself has now been completely secured and out of the world government's eye. Goddess Moinanea had made sure nothing causes a great imbalance between the worlds. Only those possessing Digivices or any model similar to it has access to the Digital World.
The Earth itself came close to being annihilated by an asteroid, but it was knocked off course thanks in part to new defenders of the planet. They weren't digimon nor were they Digital Warriors. No, the saviors were none other than the children of the Digi-Destined: the D3s. Max Kamiya has taken up position as leader of the group officially on his fifteenth birthday. He had recently just turned fifteen and is rather enjoying himself as earth's savior. In fact, five years after the departure of Taichi, Max vowed to carry out his father's name and joined up with the DW-STF at age ten. It was quite a remarkable feat since he was the youngest soldier. He trained hard under the watchful eye of X, Dorothy Kaimodosu and Dimitri Ishida. Although he had failed on many occasions before, Max reached the Ascendant level at age thirteen after a difficult trial and error. He pushed himself further and was assigned his first mission as a leader. He and his D3 crew saved the planet by pushing back an asteroid that could have created a near 5-mile wide crater and destroyed mankind in the process. With their combined powers, they destroyed the asteroid and reduced it to space dust.
These extraordinary heroes inherited the power and strength of their Digital warrior parents to allow them to reach this ascendant level. What exactly is an ascendant? Only digital humans can achieve this form. One becomes an ascendant when their hair turns golden, their eyes became emerald green, the muscles on their body tenses, and a golden aura covers their bodies. Not only are their strength increased ten fold but also their speed. Just like the infamous Super Saiya-Jins of DBU Earth. Max Kamiya was the first to achieve this, but soon his allies would follow afterwards.
Next, the once little Dimitri Ishida has grown up into a sixteen year old. He has quite the charm and is second strongest next to Max. Though at times, he can equal Max when they spare. Yes, they are the perfect sparring partners. Dimitri, too, joined the DW-STF and achieved the Ascendant status five months after Max did.
After Dimitri, Keke Ishida became the first female Ascendant. Like Max and her brother, she joined the DW-STF. She has DEFINITELY grown as a fifteen year old. She shares her love for the color pink and enjoys shopping much like her mother. However, she has a love for music and inherited that 'never say die' attitude from her father. Currently, she is Max's girlfriend. It was pretty obvious who she would end up being paired up with after this past decade.
The son of Yolei and Ken, Sam Ichijouji, became an Ascendant four months after Keke. While he doesn't see much combat, he specializes in maintaining the Digital World's defense computer networks. He also has a tendency to show off his 'body' and tries to impress the ladies. What a playboy. No girl has turned down this young man, at least not yet. He sure doesn't take after either his mother or father.
The next to reach the Ascendant level were the grown thirteen year old trio of Kara & Tike Takaishi and David Motomiya. Tike and David recently reached the Ascendant level. Kara became Ascendant just a few days after the boys. Even achieving Ascendant status WASN'T an easy task for these kids. They needed more time to train and push their powers to their limits. David currently has interest in Kara, though Tike sometimes has to keep an eye on his best friend making a move on his sister.
…
…
While these children do protect Earth and the Digital World, that doesn't entirely mean that the Digital warriors, the Digi-Destined and the others have given up being guardians and preservers of peace. It so happens that some have already become guardians and ambassadors across sections of the Digital Universe.
…
…
Deep within the district of Odaiba, there seemed to be a commotion occurring. A massive crowd of people were running and screaming as an explosion was seen from a far distance. It looked like it was coming from a local bank. It was armed robbery of sorts.
From a close up view, a group of masked thugs armed with rifles and Uzis were keeping the innocent people at bay. One skinny thug held a brunette banker woman and placed the tip of his pistol to her head. Another crew of thugs came walking out with hands filled with money bags.
"Awright! Don't you move, yas vermin!" the thug called out with a Brooklyn accent. "You make ones move and I'll be blowing this bimbo's head off! Ka-peesh?"
"Um, boss? We're almost done loading up," a fat, incompetent assailant approached his 'boss'.
"Good! Just grab the gold and we'll be off!"
"HELP! PLEASE, HELP!" the woman screamed out.
"I said, shut yo mouth, you idiot!" the man roared. "That's it! You had yo chance! Your brains are going splat against that wall!"
Before the man had a chance to pull the trigger, an invisible force came rushing by and knocked the man to the side. The other thugs were immediately caught off guard and wondered what had knocked their boss out flat on his back. The thugs gathered into a circle with their arms intact.
Then…
…
…
…
SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!
…
…
…
Another blur rushed by and encircled the men. Within a millisecond, the men realized that their guns were gone.
"Huh! What just happened?" a short thug wearing a cowboy hat exclaimed.
"Well I'll be damned! It's them!" a white-masked thug pointed out directly forward.
The criminals looked forward and their mouths widened in shock. Even their eyes nearly wanted to bulge out. Yes, they were caught red-handed, but not by the local police. No, they were caught by three members of the D3s. One of which was a medium-sized teen with slightly tanned skin, brown spiked hair and red eyes. His body was built under a black bodysuit with a green shirt over it. His head was covered with a white bandana. His hands consisted of a pair of white gloves and the boots were white with yellow tips decorated at toe tips. He removed his bandana and let loose his spiked hair. He set a serious glare towards the unlucky crooks.
The one who captured their weapons was a teenage female with quite the curved body. Her hair was long, straight and it was strawberry blonde in pigmentation. Her eyes are blue. The girls' outfit consisted of a pink halter top, blue jeans and a pair of red-pink tennis shoes. She held every weapon on top of her right hand. In fact, she had no trouble lifting the entire weapon collection on the very tip of her right thumb.
The third accomplice is a male with a muscular build and medium height. His hair was blonde and tied down to a ponytail. His eyes are blue. His outfit consisted of a blue jacket, a black tank top, gray pants and yellow boot-like shoe accessories.
"Oh crap! It's them! The D3s!" the crooks exclaimed in unison.
"End of the road for you boys," the teen with the brown hair stated. "You going to come clean?"
"Or are we going to make you?" the blonde male threatened. "You know you can't use your guns since my sis here has them. Just to make sure you don't get them back, Keke. Why don't you show them what happens when you see men treat other women like crap?"
"If there's anything I hate more than stupid ass crooks? It's thugs who don't know how to treat a lady RIGHT!"
With that said, the teenage girl named Keke held the weapons to one side. She takes her other hand and quickly smashes her hands together, in the process crushing the weapons altogether. The crooks spaz out in utter disbelief. Keke continues to crush the weapons under the strength of her hands and reveals to them a pair of crushed cubes. She tosses them down towards the crooks.
"There. No weapons for you boys. Now, are you going to treat a lady right?"
"Yes… ma'm…"
"I can't hear you!"
"YES, M'AM!"
"That's much better. Max. Brother. Looks like our job is done. Here come the local authorities."
"Hope you guys enjoy your jail food," Max glared at the crooks.
As the trio turned their backs, a crook managed to hide inside the bank and took this chance to get retribution for his comrades. He picked up a pistol and rushes outside.
"Hey! You forgot about me, you idiots!" the man laughed. "EAT LEAD!"
As the man pulled the trigger, the gun fired off a bullet at full speed range. The bullet was being targeted for none other than Max Kamiya. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion for a few moments until… Max caught the bullet straight on with one hand. The crook gasped out with a gaping mouth. Max drops the bullet and rushes forward. The man stopped frozen still as Max phases out and rushed past him.
It only took a matter of milliseconds, but Max reappears across the other side. The man fell face first in an unconscious state. Keke and Dimitri both gave Max a 'V' for victory.
Late as usual, the local authorities came and arrested the beaten crooks. The chief came walking up to Max while shaking his hand.
"Thanks again, Max Kamiya. You and your friends are always there in the nick of time. We wouldn't know what we would do without you."
"It was nothing that we couldn't handle," the teen chuckled. "You guys have your hands off anyway. We'll leave the rest to you, chief."
"Thanks a lot!"
Turning around to greet to friends, Max Kamiya slowly levitated off the ground and slowly ascended across the city skies. Keke and Dimitri followed off to join the teen.
"Well, that accomplished our task for today," Max sighed.
"So, what do you want to do now?" Keke asked.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving!" Dimitri rubbed her growling stomach.
"Yeah, I sure could go for a buffet right about now," Max snickered. "You up for something to eat, Kek?"
"Sure."
"By the way, isn't today the day your dad comes back?" Dimitri asked his friend.
"It's still early. He said he wouldn't come until tonight. My mom is already over there at the beach. I'll be joining her there. Keke, you want to come along?"
"We'll see. Now, c'mon. What are you two waiting for? I hear the buffet calling out my name!"
Instantly powering up a ki aura, Keke flies across the skies like a missile. The boys let out deep sighs and immediately sped off to race after Keke.
Yes, today is the day Tai was said to return. Max was definitely excited to see his father again. He still carries the crest replica secured around his neck.
"Father. At long last, you'll be home. It's a shame you didn't win the Digi-Universal Tournament though. Oh well, at least you got to meet Toushinmon. I wished I could have met him. It would have been a real honor. Mother and I are looking forward this moment. Agumon, it'll be good to see you too. This day just couldn't get any better!"
Yes, these three along with Sam, Tike, Kara and David protect the planet earth during times of crisis. However, the Digital warriors had different objective roles within the Digital Universe.
Besides Toushinmon, there are two other Digi-Mazoku lords: Mukuromon and Hadesmon. These two are not only rivals toward each other but even to Toushinmon. These lords have been embroiled in a rivalry that has lasted nearly hundreds of thousand digi-cycles, that is equivalent to a few hundred thousand years. Perhaps as early as half a million digi-cycles ago. Yes, these Mazoku lords have taken refuge within the Dark Realm as rulers for that long. However, just recently, the power struggle of the lords seemed to be going to the two Digi-Mazoku warlords since Toushinmon was on the brink of death.
In fact, as soon as Tai and Agumon met Toushinmon, it would only be a few more years before Toushinmon would pass on due to malnutrition. The warrior of courage found his ancestor and trained to hopes of defeating him. Then, came the historical Digi-Universal tournament where the Digital Universe's strongest warriors would participate against one another. This event occurred ten years earlier but several months after Zeed's defeat. The winner would be crowned as new Supreme Guardian. Already becoming a father, Shintomon needed to find a suitable replacement temporarily. Omega X and Toushinmon were amongst those participants. In fact, they had competed against one another in the first round with the younger Omega X claiming victory. However, when comes victory, the time for Toushinmon to pass on to the after life finally came. He bid his ancestral son farewell and left him this final message.
"Son, the blood of the Digi-Mazoku courses through your veins. In the name of my good name, you must defeat my rivals and restore order to the Dark Realm… and the Digital Universe. The balance of power has been shifted in your favor… Make the great Toushinmon proud… Farewell… my son…"
Claiming that victory would be his, Omega X competed against many great opponents. However, he wasn't the only Digital warrior to compete. The third Digi-Mazoku warlord, Hadesmon, and his hikari friend, Seraphimon, recruited Takato, Guilmon, Takeru and Patamon. Hadesmon had summoned the Digi-Destined of Hope to reveal him the true meaning behind the powers of darkness. He claimed that not all darkness is considered 'evil' per say. Takeru wasn't so sure if he could believe him and trained under Hademon's friend, Serpahimon. Both Hadesmon and Seraphimon were anxious to know who was the better warrior: Gallantmon or War Angemon? These two would end up competing in the tournament. They both made it to the second round and it was a close battle. But, in the end, Gallantmon claimed victory in the name of Hadesmon. Interestingly enough, there seemed to be some past history between Hadesmon and Gallantmon. The Digi-Mazoku warlord somehow knew the Hazard beast before it became the Guilmon Takato created. Takato was astonished when he found out this startling revelation and he wondered whether Guilmon would return to Hadesmon's side. Alas, Guilmon remained loyal to his Tamer and fought Hadesmon later in the tournament. Even Crimson Gallantmon wasn't enough to defeat him and he fell to Hadesmon.
Other participants included X, Mystic Celesta, Pikkan, Leomon, Dorothy, Ultima X, Mukuromon, Metalla X, BW, Max Kamiya, Keke Ishida, Sonja, Dimitri Ishida, Athenamon, Sakuyamon, Infernomon, Beelzebumon, Agunimon, Fairymon and a few others.
Notable of these participants were Mystic Celesta and Athenamon. The invitation the Amazon Queen sent to Hikari was to invite her to her kingdom. Athenamon had offered her a chance to compete in an Amazon tournament to determine who would be Athenamon's new second-in-command. The Digi-Destined of Light was flattered and accepted the offer. She even managed to bring along Rika, Renamon, Keke, Kara, Zoe, Sonja and Dorothy to join her. Boy, were these girls in a big surprise as their Amazon opponents proved to be tough competition. Some of the Amazon's best competitors were some of Athenamon's elite: Dianamon, Mermaimon, Ceresmon and many others. Too young to compete in the tournament, Keke and Kara trained until they were old enough to take part since only human females past the age of 13 can compete.
Amongst the ladies, only Mystic Celesta, Dorothy and Sonja made it as far as the third round. Sonja was knocked off the third round by Dianamon, but Dorothy managed to defeat Mermaimon. Dorothy avenged Sonja's loss and defeated Dianamon in the semi-finals. Athenamon and Mystic Celesta finally had the opportunity to compete with one another in a historical and a very close semi-final bout. The Warrior of Light came close to even clenching victory but it was Athenamon's experience that won her the match. Many claimed it was the best match of the entire tournament and that Mystic Celesta turned to be Athenamon's best opponent. Hikari was still honored for her efforts despite the loss and was even offered a spot in the Amazon Royal Knight elite with the Amazon queen, Ceresmon and Dianamon. Kari was more than happy to take the offer but had two conditions. If her daughter, Kara, can train under the Amazons and that Rika becomes her bodyguard. Athenamon agreed to the terms but there was a problem. Kari might have to give up her former life in the human world to remain a member of the Amazon Royal Knights. The Digi-Destined of Light promised that she would not bring her husband to the kingdom, since there was a rule that no males enter except for Pegasusmon and Unimon. Athenamon once again agreed to Kari's terms. She was given permission to leave the kingdom to go visit her family and friends during any occasion.
The winner of the tournament was none other than Dorothy. She defeated Athenamon and earned her spot as second in command of the Amazon forces. However, Dorothy had other plans. She still had a life with school and her new boyfriend, Henry Wong. She asked Athenamon that Kari take the spot instead. After several negotiations, Athenamon accepted her terms and allowed Kari to take the second in command spot. Hikari was the one that Athenamon had been waiting for her entire digital life and claimed that Digi-Destined's light would help to restore prosperity to the Amazon kingdom. Kari agreed that she serve under the Amazons for six months of the earth calendar while she spends the other six months with her loved ones back home. Athenamon eventually grew an affection for Hikari, similar to a mother and daughter bond. They fought alongside each other, trained together and even shared pleasant conversations. Eventually, Kari would become ambassador for the Amazon Kingdom and handpicked Rika as her successor. The Digimon Queen was quite flattered and never thought she would soon serve under the name of this powerful kingdom.
Tai himself was proud of the fact that his little sister had become such a powerful figure amongst the Amazon Kingdom.
But what about everyone else?
Well, there's Yamato "Matt" Ishida AKA Metalla X.
Deep within The Dark Realm. Wyvern Territory . Royal Chambers of the Wyvern Mazoku Digi-Mazoku Lord.
Deep within the farthest regions of the Dark Realm, a large metropolis stood at the heart of a wasteland. It looked about the size of Los Angeles except some of the structures were as tall as some New York buildings. There was one that stood tall above all with an observatory tower at the roof.
This particular tower belonged to an infamous Mazoku warlord. Could this belong to the legendary Toushinmon that many have spoken fondly of? No, this belonged to another Digi-Mazoku lord. This territory was owned by the infamous Mukuromon.
A closer view inside the top floor of the tower structure and below the observatory was displayed. Inside the top floor was a dark yet gothic room with a large bed sitting at the center. The walls were decorated with black covering and paintings of famous gothic artwork created by a brilliant artist. That artist would be none other than Mukuromon herself.
Sitting on her bed, a medium-sized woman with light green skin with orange hair that reached down to her shoulders had a glass of red wine in one hand and a drawing pad in the other. Her attire consisted of a white shirt decorated with purple linen and golden Japanese Kanji written on her shirt. Around her neck was a pendant necklace shaped like a black dragon. Her pants were leather black, her boots are white and half of her right face was concealed by bandages. A single glasses lens covered her left eye while gazing down on her sketch. Despite her dark complexion, she still quite beautiful and elegant. A small smile formed across her face after taking a sip from her glass. The picture she was drawing looked like a wolf-like creature baring a striking resemblance to the werewolf kind. The monster looked gothic and there was a mistress in the background with flaming red hair.
There was a knock on her door. Without lifting her head, she answered in reply.
"Come in."
The door opened and a shadow figure walked in. Mukuromon put her sketchbook down and looked across to find Metalla X. His appearance was slightly different than his previous level four form. His body was decorated with black armor with a massive weighted sword attached to his back. His eyes met Mukuromon's. The Warrior of Friendship was chosen by Mukuromon as her right hand man and as a participant in the tournament. Metalla X found great success as he made it all the way to the finals in a three-way bout with himself, Hadesmon and Max Kamiya. Beforehand, he had fought Mukuromon during the course of the tournament and defeated her in a close battle. That day Mukuromon had grown an affection for the warrior much to Mimi's dismay. The woman blamed Yamato for having an affair with Mukuromon. Metalla X claimed that he has no such interest for Mukuromon. Mimi had never spoken to her husband since that event and told him to stay with Mukuromon.
"Mukuromon. As you know, he will finally be returning to his family."
"Your rival? Taichi Kamiya?"
"Yes. I will have to bid you farewell."
"Ok, then. Goodbye, Yamato-san"
"One more thing…"
"Yes?"
"I just want to let you know that Mimi is the only woman in my life. Our relationship is merely business and nothing more. Keke is disappointed with me, but I want to make it all up to them. You understand."
"I understand completely. I would be angry too if I were your wife. But will you return every now and then to continue your work as my bodyguard?"
"Call me whenever you need me, Mukuromon."
"I will, but there's something I would like to give you as a farewell."
Getting up from her bed, Mukuromon slowly walks over to her greatest bodyguard and presses herself against him. She stands on her tiptoes and plants a kiss on the warrior's lips. The warrior returned the kiss and sets her down.
"You're the only man besides Toushinmon and Hadesmon to have ever claim victory over me. My reputation is by no means tarnished but you have gained quite a huge following. You're throwing away an opportunity to live like a god. You would have been worshipped."
"Thanks, but my family comes first. Plus, Tai is coming back and I cannot miss out on this."
"I'm going to miss your wonderful music, Yamato. I've never heard such a wonderful voice as you have demonstrated to me. You have convinced me that even humans are capable of such beautiful and eloquent art. I will not implement an attack on your planet because of this, Yamato-san."
"Yes. Well, it's time I move on."
"Let's hope our paths cross again."
"Our paths will cross again, Mukuromon. You take good care of yourself."
With that said, Metalla X stepped out of the Digi-Mazoku's royal chambers and left her feeling warm inside. Mukuromon pressed her hand against her heart and smiled.
"May good fortune come to you and your wife, Yamato-san. I didn't mean to intrude in your relationship and I want all of this to cool over. Until we meet again… Sayanora."
Amazon Kingdom . Athenamon's Royal Chambers.
Inside the Greek-like futuristic setting of a massive metropolis, a bright light shone over the kingdom. It was unlike Mukuromon's territory in the Dark Realm. This kingdom was ruled over Athenamon, a compassionate yet prideful queen. She has seen many battles and has developed a reputation for being a male's worst nightmare. She is revered and respected by all female digimon, excluding a majority of the viral types.
Deep within a structure similar to the United States Capitol building, there were many Amazon digimon warriors gathering for pleasant conversations. Others were guarding the palace. Inside the royal chambers, there was a massive tub at the center, ones formally used by ancient Greeks and Romans. There was one beautiful and majestic individual sitting inside the tub. Her long blonde hair was let loose with her naked body enjoying the massaging hot springs. Her eyes opened to reveal heavenly, blue eyes. She combed her hands through her hair and removed a familiar red hairpin. Yes, this was none other than Mystic Celesta herself. Kari often would use her fused form when stepping inside Athenamon's royal chambers. She was now thirty-six years old yet she was fortunate to have retained her youthful beauty. Mystic Celesta swam across the hot tub and sighed in relief.
"That was one great training session. Athenamon, you sure like to go all out when you need to be."
"Oh, is that a fact?"
Mystic Celesta stopped as she turned to see the Amazon queen herself. A smile formed across her face and she kneeled over to the tub. Mystic Celesta swam over towards the queen and stopped.
"Want me to wash your hair for you, Hikari?"
"Yes, please…"
Gathering a handful of water, Athenamon started to mat down Mystic Celesta's blonde hair with water. The Warrior of Light giggled as some water dripped against her face.
"Have you spoken to your husband, Hikari?"
"Today. You know I'll be leaving to see my brother returning."
"After all this time? I often wonder how Sora can wait for that man."
"She loves him deeply. They've known each other since they were kids. Besides, I share the same affection for TK. Ah, just a little at the top."
"While I admit that I have disliking for males, I can't help but respect your brother for what he has accomplished. I've never seen such a warrior with heart and determination. Sort of reminds me of myself."
"Yeah… I'm excited. I can't wait to see him again."
Just then, there was a knock at the royal chamber doors. Athenamon and Mystic Celesta both turned to find the doors opening. To their surprise, the person behind the door was none other than Rika. Ten years have passed and she has become twenty-five years old. She had developed a mature body than she already had during her teen years. In fact, she had already surpassed her mother's beauty despite keeping the tomboy-esque. She had grown softer but can still dish out a butt whooping. Rika was now taller. Her hair was let down loose with a sun hat covering the top. Her outfit consisted of a white t-shirt with a yin-yang emblem at the center, her jeans are blue and she wore black flip flops. She removed her black shades to reveal her eyes. Her eyes were still as violent-based and majestic as ever. Accompanying her were Renamon and a little girl. Yes, this little girl is Rika's daughter. In fact, she married Takato and had their first child three and half years ago. The little girl looked exactly like her mother except her hair was shorter and a pair of goggles wrapped around her neck. The child's wardrobe consisted of blue shirt with a matching white shorts. A full-shaped heart was embedded on the girl's shirt. Her name is Ruki Nonaka Matsuda.
"Hello there, Rika! It's to see you again!" Athenamon gets up and gives the girl a hug.
"Same to you, Athenamon. Ruki?"
"Hello, Ms. Athenamon. I suggested to mommy we visit you," Ruki smiled.
"Aww, well isn't that sweet?" Mystic Celesta giggled.
"Hi there, Kari," Rika stepped over to the fused warrior. "Enjoying your bath?"
"Um, you can say that."
"I hear you're pretty excited today. After all, your brother is coming back home after ten years."
"You have no idea how excited I am, Rika. Will you be coming?"
"Of course, since Takato will be there."
"Oh, how's Takato doing, Rika?"
"Typical goggle head… He hasn't been doing much. We're still running his family's bakery. Ruki here can't get enough of her daddy's bread."
Mystic Celesta looks over to Ruki and playfully shook her hand.
"Giving your mommy and daddy a hard time?"
"Only when I'm hungry."
"I'm telling you, this girl has a bottomless pit," Rika sighed. "I think we just might have to close up the shop because of her."
"Heh. Like that'll ever happen," Mystic Celesta giggled.
"How's business been here since I was away?"
"Tiring," the Digi-Destined of Light replied. "Athenamon. Are we going to be having a meeting tonight with the other Amazon Royal Knights?"
"No. You've been given permission to leave to see your brother."
"Ok, good. See what kind of work I have to deal with? One day you're going to be in my position, Rika."
"Guess I'll have to enjoy these youthful years then," the redhead sighed.
"You'll do just fine, Rika. Just take it from me and you should be successful," she winked.
Grabbing a towel from the pool side, Mystic Celesta stepped out and wrapped the white towel around her body. She threw back her wet, blonde hair and stretched out.
"Man, that hot bath looks relaxing," Rika said. "Ruki? Why don't you go play with Kara? I'm sure she's here somewhere."
"Yay!"
"Oh yeah. Kara is over at the garden. She should be finishing her training," Mystic Celesta smiled. "Go and see her, Ruki."
"In the meantime, mommy will talk to Kari," Rika ruffled her daughter's hair.
Nodding in reply to her mother, Ruki scurries out of the room and down a hallway leading to a garden. Rika turns her attention over to Mystic Celesta and follows her down another hallway. Athenamon and Renamon occupied the duo.
"How have you been Renamon? It's so good to see you again," Athenamon said.
"I'm doing just fine. The family is prospering."
"Ruki is just a little darling, isn't she?"
"Of course, but I just hope she doesn't turn out like her mother used to be."
"I heard that Renamon," Rika replied. "If she turns out to be a mini Digimon Queen, then you can surely thank you. She'll take after me and reach the status of greatness to carry out the Nonaka name. We're legendary."
"That you are," Mystic Celesta laughed.
"Kari. I need to ask you something…"
"What is it?"
"What's it truly like being a mother. I mean, I've been Ruki's mother for three years. Yet, I act more like her big sister than a mother."
"Well, I can't explain how, but it just comes naturally. You have to tend to Ruki's needs and care for her until she becomes older. Being a mother is hard work. I can relate. After all, I have to deal with two ravenous twins. However, underneath those beastly stomachs are two wonderful children. TK and I love them to death. Just show Ruki that you are her mother and not a big sister."
"I see… I'll do the best I can. Thanks, Kari."
"No problem. Come ask me anything in case you have problems. I love children. So I can teach you a few things about being a good mother."
"Guess teaching and being a part time kindergarten teacher does you favors, huh?"
"It's hard work, but I'll manage."
"I see. Then, I'll come to you when I need to ask a question. Heh, who would have thought we'd be sharing a conversation together? That was fifteen years ago. I can't believe how much of a brat I was then. I mean, it was me all power hungry when I nearly had Renamon kill Gatomon to load her data. I even disliked you back then."
"Times have changed. We've been in countless battles and have grown to respect each other."
"Respect that eventually became friendship."
"Yep. Now here we are future leaders of the Amazon Kingdom."
"I know. It's insane. It'll be great working together and bringing order to this kingdom. This is our opportunity."
"I agree."
Pushing a pair of doors open, Mystic Celesta stepped inside her royal room. It was majestic and beautiful with white and golden wallpaper decorated the walls. An expensive-looking bed and ceiling light stood out amongst the furniture. There was a computer desk with a laptop and pictures of Kari's past memories.
Mystic Celesta steps behind a veil, removes her towel from her body and dries her hair off with it. She threw her hair back once again and started to blow dry her gorgeous blonde hair. Several minutes after blow drying, Mystic Celesta powered down and separated herself back into her two separate entities in a flash of light. Kari was back to her normal human self as she put on a long-sleeve pink shirt, a pair of white pants and white shoes. Kari combed her long brown hair and placed her red hairpin through it. She placed on lipstick and patted her soft cheeks. Eve at age thirty-six, Kari still had that same youthful appearance and cute smile. She reached down to pick up Gatomon. The Digi-Destined of Light stepped out and was ready to get going.
"Ready to go, Rika?"
"You bet."
Kamiya Residence. Local Odaiba Apartments. 4:32 P.M.
"MOMMY! DADDY! Today is the day!"
The entire Kamiya apartment home trembled under a loud childish cry. This came from a little girl. Inside, no Kamiyas were around but instead there was Henry, Dorothy and a little blonde haired girl running around. This is their four-year-old daughter daughter, Yoko Wong. Dorothy married Henry once finishing college. They both work with Janyuu and make up his new Monster Maker team. Their job was to keep the borders between the Digital and Real worlds secure by preventing anymore bio-emerges. Yamaki still worked as head of Hypnos and developed a relationship with business partner, Riley.
"Momma! Poppa! He's coming! Isn't he!" the girl asked frantically.
"Tai's finally coming and you get to meet him for the first time," Henry nodded. "Now will you calm down? Ugh, kids…"
"Oh, don't be like that, Henry," Dorothy smiled while lowering down to sweet talk her daughter.. "That's right, Yoko. You're going to like him because he's the one who taught mommy how to fight."
"Cool! I hope he teaches me how to fight! I'm going to beat up all those mean boys!"
"Dorothy. I don't know what's caused her to become like this. She certainly doesn't take after you or me."
"I guess she took after Suzie," Terriermon joked. "Who knows? I'm just glad she doesn't use me as 'Ms. Pwetty Pants'."
"Awww, I'd never do that to you," Yoko giggled.
"We'll be leaving here in an hour, guys," Henry announced. "Dorothy. You said he'd come by 6:30?"
"That's what he told me telepathically. Don't worry, Henry. He'll be here."
"Yeah, don't want to go bald, do ya Henry?"
"Terriermon… You want me to cut down on your food consumption?"
"Ack! You wouldn't dare!"
"All the sweets will be gone."
"You never let me win, Henry. Humph…"
"Tai. Finally, you've come back to us. I wonder how much older you've gotten? Perhaps you haven't changed, but you won't you be surprised with the family I've managed to raise. I thank Sora for helping me. This will be quite the momentous day."
Izumi Residence. 4:40 P.M.
Inside a beautiful and a very comfortable apartment home, a red-haired man was sitting at his deck doing research for an upcoming project to help the Digital Worlds secure their borders. The man lets out a sigh and turns his seat around to find a red-shelled insect flying down next to him.
"How's it coming, buddy?" Tentomon asked.
"Hard and stressful, but I'll manage."
"Why don't you take a break, Izzy? Tai's going to be coming back today."
"I know, but I really would like to get this finished."
"Tentomon's right, honey," Talley said as she came walking in. "We both deserve a break. This is your best friend we're talking about you know."
Talley looked no different except that she had let her hair grown out and tied it up to pigtails. She bent over and took her husband's hand.
"You're right. This can wait."
"Now that's the spirit," Talley nodded.
"Mommy! Daddy!" a little girl's voice rang out.
Izzy and Talley watched as a little eight year old girl with short red hair came running in. The girl was wearing a little blue dress with a white shirt underneath. Most notable is the cute little bow on her head. Her face has a striking resemblance to her mother's, but she inherited her father's hair color and eyes.
"Mina. How was school today?" Talley asked as she kneeled over to touch her daughter's left cheek.
"Same as usual," Mina yawned. "I'm already the best artist in my class."
"That's wonderful dear," Izzy smiled. "Mind to show us your masterpieces?"
"Sure! Oh, are we going to see that man you two have been talking about?"
"Tai? Yeah, you finally get to meet him, Mina. He's been a friend of mine since we were kids. You're going to like him."
"I can't wait!" Mina nodded.
"What do you say we get going and get a bite to eat on the way?" Talley suggested. "Hopefully traffic won't be a problem."
"As long as it's before five-thirty," Izzy reminded her.
"I know… That's why I suggested we leave now. Besides, I'm sure Mina is hungry."
"Don't forget me," Tentomon raised his hand madly.
"Tentomon! You're always hungry!" Mina exclaimed.
"And?"
"I'm a growing kid! You're just a bug!"
"Well I'm a growing bug that needs the energy to survive."
"And why do you always have such a geeky voice?"
"You're a geek, too! In fact, you are just like your father when I first met him!"
"Guys! That's enough!" Izzy barked.
"Or it's no McDonalds for either one of you!" Talley shouted.
This threatening statement alone was enough to silence the bickering of the girl and the digimon. Both bowed to each other as a method to 'apologize' to one another.
"I swear you two argue as if you were siblings," Izzy rubbed his head. "Ok, guys. Let's get going!"
"Yay!" Mina cheered.
Motomiya Residence. 4:45 P.M.
Inside the home of the Motomiya residence, the noodle shop was at the bottom floor and still in business. Davis came walking down from the stairs without his goggles. He had retired those years ago after Zeed's defeat. However, he still continues to preserve peace in the Digital World as Ultima X.
"Dad! I'm home!" David came walking inside.
"Glad you're home, son!"
David had grown up since the battle against Zeed. He has grown into a young man. His hair and face was very similar to his father's during his youth. He wore his father's goggles to honor the good name of the Digi-Destined.
Racing down from the stairs, a small boy came down and looked exactly like David did years ago. In fact, this particular child was born a year after the final battle. Davis and Sonja finally had themselves a child when it was realized that the artificial woman still had a female sex organ. The way Datamon constructed her was very perplexing to say the least. Even Yolei, Ken and Izzy confirmed that she can give birth to an organic baby.
Following behind the little boy, a young woman came walking down with her raven hair tied up into a ponytail. Her outfit consisted of a white t-shirt, black baggy pants and pair of high heel shoes. Her blue eyes fixed a glare on Davis and a sly grin forms across her face.
"So, Tai's finally coming back. Isn't he?" Sonja asked.
"Yeah. Finally, it's been too long. I wonder if he's gotten older. He'll be about forty years old."
"Well, you haven't gotten much older dad," the little boy smile
"Thanks, David Jr."
"So, how was training with Tike?" Sonja asked her adopted son.
"Good. We caught up with some great results. He had to leave to go see his dad. So I came back here and realized that Tai was coming back."
"That he is, son. We'll leave here by five thirty."
"Hey, Davish!" Veemon calls out. "Did you manage to get the oil checked?"
"Sure did, Veemon. Don't worry even if the car breaks down, we can just fusion evolve and fly there."
"But I hate flying," David Jr. quipped.
"Even though you can," David sighed.
"There's no way I'm going to miss out on Tai coming back. This is the day I've been waiting for," Davis thought.
Meanwhile as the family continued their conversation, there was a familiar figure standing outside. It was none other than the revived Jax. He had been restored thanks in part to the Digicores' last great wish. He was a victim of those killed since he was used by Datamon and Dr. Myuumon. A faint smile forms across his face once he realized that his older sister had found a happy life with Davis. The artificial walks off as he came into contact with a blonde-haired woman with a little girl with a matching hair color as her mother. But, he has inherited her father's majestic blue eyes. This was the French Digi-Destined Catherine. Jax found himself in a relationship with Catherine and eventually married her during the ten year period. Their child is named Mika.
"Ready to go honey?" Catherine asked her husband.
"Yes. Let's go," nodded Jax.
"Will we ever see Aunt Sonja and Uncle Davis?" Mika innocently asked her father.
"Yes, one day, Mika. That's a promise. C'mon, you two. Let's go."
As they started walking off, Sonja looked out and gives a smile.
"Brother, I'm glad you have found someone who can look out for you. I hope we'll see each other again."
Matsuda Bakery. 4:45 P.M.
Looking at his watch, an older Takato Matsuda made it official to close the bakery early. He was anticipating the return of the original goggle head general himself. He was taller and slightly built than before. His hair was a little longer, with a tiny ponytail tied at the end. His outfit consisted of an old AC/DC t-shirt, a pair of black pants and matching color shoes. On his right arm was a tattoo of the Hazard. He locked the front door and calls out for his partner.
"Guilmon! We're leaving now!"
"Coming Takato!"
"I'd rather close up now and get there early. Like they say, the early bird gets the worm. Tai, it'll be awesome to have you back."
Shibuya Park 4:50 P.M.
A pair of individuals came walking down a walkway while having a conversation with each other. One of them was a young adult male with brown hair. His clothes consisted of a red t-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of flaming red tennis shoes. The other is a blonde-haired girl with its length reaching down to her shoulders. Her outfit consisted of a purple halter top, a blue jean skirt and purple flip flops. It was Takuya and Zoe. Both were twenty two years with Zoe being a few months older, of course. Both have already graduated out of Shibuya University and are enjoying a few years off before moving on with their career occupations. Zoe has taken interest in culinary arts and wants to become a great Italian cook while Takuya has sought interest in mechanics.
"Look at the time, Zoe," Takuya looked down at his watch. "Tai's coming back. I say we get there early. What do you say?"
"Sure. Besides, there's nothing else to do and I really want to see him again."
"So do I. It's been ten years already. Tai, wait till you see how much I've grown."
"But I'm still older than you, Takuya," Zoe teased the 'youngin'.
"So what? Haven't we already gone through with this already?"
"Well, it brings back memories of me picking on you. I love teasing you, kid."
"Kid!"
"Come on! Let's hurry or we'll be caught in traffic!" Zoe calls out as she run ahead of the male.
"Can't argue with that. Five thirty traffic is a bitch."
Several kilometers above town. 4:55 P.M.
Already finished eating their buffet meal, the D3 trio stretched out while belching above the city.
"Man! That really hit the spot!" Max laughed. "It's four fifty-five now. My mom said that he won't be here until at least six o' clock. Only an hour left. What do you want to do now?"
"Well, I have to get back home with mom. I have to go help some stuff out with her and I should be over at the beach by six-fifteen."
"Ok, sounds like a plan. Well, Keke. It's just you and me then," Max said.
"I'm sure we can fly around the skies in the meantime," Keke suggested.
"Ok, I'm up for that. How about a little race?"
"You're on!"
"You two lovebirds have fun. I'm off!" Dimitri gives a salute to the pair and flies off across towards the city.
Facing each other off, Max and Keke were prepared to test each other in a game of speed. They made a stance as if they were marathon runners. Both were preparing to speed off with everything they've got.
"Ok, Keke. Ready?"
"Ready!"
"On your mark…
"…"
"…get set…"
"…"
"GO!"
…
…
Both of them formed explosive golden auras and immediately raced off against one another across the heavens. A trail of golden light streaked across the skies as the citizens below looked on with astonishment. Keke and Max were already in their Ascendant forms. They shared a friendly laugh together but not long before Max launches himself across.
"HEY! NO FAIR, YOU MEANIE!" Keke laughed.
Keke powers up and races across to give chase to her boyfriend. She managed to catch up with Max and was determined to beat him in this race.
"Whoops! Looks like I overdid it!" Max smiled.
"You ought to give a lady a head start! It's the polite thing to do!"
"Sorry, but this is a competition."
"Oh, is that how it is?" Keke smiled devilishly.
Gathering more ki energy, Keke powered up her aura and launched herself across. Max was perplexed by the rate she was traveling at.
"Holy crap! I didn't think you had it in you! Ok, then! No more holdbacks!"
Screaming out, Max powered up and flew across to match speed with Keke. They encircled each other while leaving a trail of hoola-hoop like golden rings along their way.
"Looks like my training has done you some favors, Keke. Our speed is about the same," Max thought. "Only one more hour left until my dad gets here. I can't wait!"
The pair flew across the skies and further out towards the distance. They would travel out so fast that they would already have encircled the entire globe at least a few hundred times before their Ascendant ki wears off. Amazing feat for a group of teens. They would continue this until at least five-thirty to rest and head off to the beach to await the return of Taichi Kamiya.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Sitting on a rocking chair, the demigoddess Lady Moinanea held a child in her arms. She cooed with it playfully and looked ahead to find a small, elf-like boy with spiked turquoise hair streaked across his back head. His outfit was a Chinese-style scholar suit. This was the first child of Lady Moinanea and Shintomon. This boy is named Legolas, named after the Lord of the Rings character. The baby in Lady Moinanea's arms is a little girl with elf-like ears and short turquoise hair. Her eyes were heavenly blue-green.
"Honey! It's going to be six-thirty on earth's time. We had better get going," Shintomon calls out.
"Yes, dear. We're fortunate enough to have seen Taichi's progress in his training. I hear that he has improved," nodded Lady Moinanea.
"He has even though he lost in the Digi-Universal tournament."
"That really doesn't matter since his boy won the event," Gosenzomon replied.
"Yes and he's done quite a splendid job as Supreme Guardian and protector of Earth," Buddamon spoke.
"Yes, it's great having Max helping us in the time of need especially since I've become a father of two," Shintomon nodded. "Ready to go, my lady?"
"Yes," Lady Moinanea nodded her head.
Beach away from Rainbow Bridge 6:30 P.M.
The ocean view was quite the beautiful view with the sun already beginning to give way to dusk. The skies were mixed with a hue coloration of red, blue and dark purple. The roaring oceans washed against the sandy shores and there was a person standing away from the waves. The figure was feminine and serene. A closer look at this woman and one would say she is lost mistress waiting for her beloved. In fact, this was Sora Takenouchi Kamiya waiting for her husband to arrive. Her attire consisted of a blue dress with a white t-shirt underneath. She had let her hair to grow out longer than she had before. It reached down to her back. She stood out looking towards the sea and let out a deep sigh.
"Tai… You're late…"
"Just give him a few more minutes. He even said he's be here," Biyomon reassured the woman.
"She's right. Just be a little more impatient," another woman's voice speaks up.
Standing behind Sora was Mimi. She was wearing a pink Indian style outfit with her brown-blonde hair let loose. Standing by her side was Palmon. Not even Mimi was successful in attempting to bring her friend back to reality. Sora starts walking the opposite direction, snorts and kicks the sand away from her feet.
"Stupid Tai…"
"Poor Sora," Palmon sighed. "So he didn't come after all."
Sora marched across the beach while Takato, Guilmon, Davis, Veemon and his family watched her. Takato attempted to stop her but was cut off by Biyomon.
"Please let her be, Takato," Biyomon said. "It appears Tai won't be coming after all."
"Its only five minutes past! We can wait a little longer," Davis replied. "Besides, I'm sure something simply detoured him. He'll be here."
"Let's hope you're right, Davis. For Sora's sake," Sonja stated.
Even Max, Keke and Dimitri were upset with the way Sora is acting. It's only been five minutes and the woman is already walking off. She felt betrayed after the promise and the kiss Tai had given her before he left.
"Mom! Wait! Just wait a little longer!" Max pleaded.
"Max…" Keke sighed. "I'm sorry…"
"No! My dad said he'd be here! He promised me and mom he'd be here! I guess he's too caught up with being the best that he's going to forget us, his own family… I just might follow mom's lead if I wait any longer."
More people were starting to arrive, including Rika and Ruki. Then along came Kari, Gatomon and Kara. TK and Tike arrived at just about the same time. Kari stopped to find Sora walking away with tears pouring down her eyes.
"Sora! You're going the wrong way!" TK calls out to the woman.
"So, he didn't come back after all," Kari whispered.
"No, he trick us like this," Gatomon said. "I know he's known to pull pranks but he was dead serious when he made that promise to Sora."
"What! You mean Uncle Tai isn't coming back!" Tike and Kara exclaimed in unison.
"What could have triggered my brother not to come? Tai… I can't believe you're choosing to stay in that damn place to train and forget about us, the ones who helped you through many conflicts. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but you are a liar, brother…"
"No! Tai wouldn't do something like this! I just know he wouldn't!" Patamon nodded.
"Poor Sora," Rika said. "Why should she wait for him? She ought to just leave, go home and forget about the guy. He even made the promise to her! Hell, I was touched when he kissed her."
"Mommy? Why are you mad?" Ruki innocently asked.
"I'm mad because another mommy is heartbroken by the man she loves."
Looking on from across a cliff were Pikkan and Leomon. They, too, were disappointed with the outcome. However, they stopped for a moment and felt a rising power about to arrive.
"What? Are you feeling this Pikkan?"
"Yes. So, he came after all," the Alterian smiled.
Suddenly, a massive portal opened up and caught everyone by surprise. The Digi-Destined and their allies gathered over to where the portal hole was imminent. Max gasped happily and calls out for his mother.
"Mom! Don't go! It's dad! He's here!"
Stopping almost immediately, Sora turns around to watch a male figure emerging from out with an orange reptilian creature. Sora's eyes fluttered open and her heart raced rapidly.
The man emerging out of the portal was medium-sized yet built. His hair was a little longer and spiked up. He walked out with an orange-red martial arts gi, blue boots with red laces, a blue belt and blue wristbands. He gave his usual trademark grin and waved out to everyone awaiting for him.
"Told ya'll I'd be back!"
"TAI!"
"DAD!"
The whole Digi-Destined and Tamer group gathered around Tai. One minute they were doubting his chances of returning and nearly turned their backs on him for 'lying' about his arrival. Now they were flocking back to him. He lived up to his promise and became fully reunited with his loved ones after ten years. Max runs up towards his father and wrapped his arms around him.
"Dad!"
"Hey, there, Max! Man, you have grown since I last talked to you! You aren't kidding about your size!"
"We're about the same height now."
"Wow, that's incredible! You must have been eating healthy! You ought to tell me what vitamins you've been taking!"
"Hi, Mr. Kamiya!" Keke cried out.
"Keke! Wow, you too! You kids need to stop growing!"
"Great to have you back," BW said.
"Agumon! I've missed you, pal!" Guilmon slapped his fellow digimon a tail slap.
"Right back at ya, Guilmon!"
"Ha! I knew you wouldn't go back on your word, Tai! I didn't lose doubt!" Takato said.
"Thanks, Takato…"
Just then, X was the to arrive on the scene and he joined in with the whole group.
"Tai! So you managed to finally make it," X approached Tai to give him a friendly hug. "I knew you wouldn't let us down."
"Way to keep us in suspense again, man," Davis gives a thumbs up to the leader.
"Hey! Don't go and forget about us!" Dorothy's calls out from the distance.
Tai turns to find Dorothy, Henry, Terriermon and Yoko heading his direction. He gives Dorothy a hug and lowers down to greet Yoko.
"So, you're the one who taught my mommy how to fight?" Yoko asked.
"Well, sort of… Yeah. What else has your momma told you about me?"
"That you're a really funny and a brave man."
"Well, your mommy is right."
"It's good to have you back, Tai," Dorothy bowed her head.
"I knew you and Henry would get together. You have a cute little kid. She'll grow up to be a fine person," Tai nodded. "Raise her well, you two."
"Taichi Kamiya!"
Quickly turning around, Tai found a hand slamming against his face. He goes reeling back from the blow and felt his welting cheek. He looks across and saw Sora with her hand red. Everyone gasped out in shock. The woman had finally let out her frustrations on Tai after making her wait. Now it looked like Sora was ready to beat the living crap out of Tai. Even Max and X were unaware as to what she was preparing to do next.
To everyone's surprise, Sora leaped out in front of Tai and embraced the man. Tai hoisted Sora up and spun around with her laughing out happily. He places Sora down. The group gathered to cast their eyes on the reunited couple.
"We're finally back together as a family," Max whispered.
"I'm happy for you, Max," Keke smiled. "We, as a whole, have become complete. All that's left is one last thing…"
"What?"
Pointing out ahead, Max looks over and watches his parents kissing one another passionately. Tai embraced Sora and kissed her deeply. Their hands rubbed each other's backs and Max's felt his heart warm up. But, he felt a hand tug on his left arm. He turns and from out of nowhere… Keke plants a kiss of her own to Max. The teens shared their own romantic moment as love was blossoming between these two couples.
Everyone else clapped their hands in support for the couples. From out of a corner, Matt and Gabumon finally arrived. They stopped and found Mimi standing on the sidelines. He slowly approaches her and gets behind her to cover her eyes with his hands.
"Guess who?"
"Yamato…?"
Mimi turns and faces Matt. She embraces the man and poured out her tears. After having spatial differences ever since the incident with Mukuromon, Matt decided to make things right by patching things up with Mimi.
Finally, everyone that had attended the beach party ten years ago had arrived. Joe, Cody, Izzy, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Suzie, all of their digimon partners, Shintomon, Lady Moinanea and even Gennai arrived to join in the reunion gathering.
Looking on from a far distance is was an orange gargoyle-like creature perched against a cliff. He looks on and smiles for the fact that Tai had returned The being was none other than Novadramon, who was revived just like Jax. He takes off into the distance and hoped to meet Taichi again one day for another sparring match.
"Good to have you back my friend," Novadramon whispered under his breath.
Tai carried Sora along as he walked past through the group and stared off into the moonlight shining down across the ocean blue sea. The Digi-Destined of Courage inhales the fresh breeze and immediately looks back to all the memories of the adventures and battles he has endured during the last two decades. Everything from the arrival on File Island to the universal war against Zeed. Also fresh on his memories were the confrontation with Toushinmon, his participation in the Digi-Universal Tournament and his reunion with his loved ones.
"It's been such a long road… Who would think we'd be here enjoying life and not worrying about some maniac trying to kill us. We've all grown up, endured many great challenges and yet we still prospered in the end. I don't know what the future lies in store for us, but I will say this… We're enduring the phase of new era. The era of Digital Fusion is a thing of the past. We must step aside to give rise to the next generation. Max and the kids. They are the future. We, as their predecessors, will help guide them, but it's up to them to find out which road life will take them. I've done my part and all I want to do is spend time with my family. My mission… My fun… It's been real. I give the closing to the final chapter of the Digital Fusion era. This is Taichi Kamiya. Forty years old. Married to Sora Takenouchi and have a son, Max Kamiya. For, me, it's the end of one era. But for Max and the kids, it's only the first step into a new adventure. but it's time to walk off into the sunset. For this last statement, I say to you all: Thank you and may the spirits guide you."
Finally with those thoughts already becoming an after thought within Tai's mind, the couple watched as a pair of white butterflies flew across the oceans. Soon, everyone else viewed the beautiful butterflies flying out towards harbor. Each face knew that a new era was in store for them and they were going to make it count.
The Digi-Destined: Taichi, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Davis, TK, Kari, Yolei, Ken and Cody. All were already at least in their mid to late thirties. All with children. Tai and Sora had Max; Mimi and Matt have their two children: Dimitri and Keke; Davis and Sonja had their adopted son, David, and a biological son of their own, David Jr. TK and Kari had their twin children: Tike and Kara; Yolei and Ken had Sam, Naomi and Shinobu; only Sam really gained the Ascendant power. All of these children have inherited incredible powers from their parents, including the strength of the Digital warriors. The DNA and data was intertwined to give these children the powers. As a result, they have become Ascendants: super humans. Out of the couples, only three did not give birth to a super human. That was Izzy and Talley. They had married during the ten year period and have a daughter, Mina Izumi. Joe and his wife, Diana, have their son Joseph. Last but certainly not least, Cody and his wife, Marie, have their daughter, Sara.
The Tamers: Takato, Rika, Henry, Kazu, Kenta, Jeri and Suzie. Most already in their twenties with Suzie as a teen. Takato and Rika have a daughter of their: Ruki. Jeri and Pikkan actually have two children: a son named Solar and a daughter named Mary. Both are half brred human and digimon, since their mother is human and their father is a digimon. They make up the first successful half breed family. Henry is married to Dorothy with a daughter, Yoko. Kazu and Kenta are still single yet will not give up to find themselves a woman. It's only a matter of time for those two. The fallen Ryo Akiyama was honored for his selfless, courageous act, but will not live on to see his fellow Tamers giving birth to a new generation of Tamers.
The Legendary Warriors: Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi, Zoe, JP and Tommy. Everyone of them, except Tommy, is in their early twenties. Some attended college, Takuya, Zoe and the brothers are the most notable; others have taken occupations, both Tommy and JP. The boy named Tyler is actually the son of Takuya and Zoe, and he would often visit his 'parents' and the warriors every now and then. Huanlongmon prefers to keep Tyler safely sealed since his powers of Infernomon are too unpredictable to control. Finding out their son was Tyler, both Takuya and Zoe have gotten closer than actual friends. Marriage seems to be inevitable since they both have finished college.
Everyone looked across and watched the butterflies take flight across the oceans. Memories and images of the last three decades started to become visualized through the ocean's reflection. It all started on File Island…
…
…
…
(The eight Digi-Destined viewed their first digimon battle during the Highton View Terrance Incident. The two digimon were Greymon and Parrotmon, with Greymon emerging victorious.)
(Nearly four years after that event, the seven Digi-Destined arrived in the Digital World. They landed on File Island and met their digimon partners. Agumon was the first to digivolve from Koromon and eventually became Greymon to find off Shellmon. Soon after him, Garurumon, Birdramon, Kabuterimon, Togemon and Ikkakumon.)
(The Digi-Destined would meet many new allies, including Leomon. Their first official enemy was Devimon. Proving to be quite a strong opposition, it led to Patamon digivolving into Angemon. The angel of Hope vanquished the devil man with a finishing blow with his Hand of Fate)
(Soon afterwards, Etemon would be next for the children. The journey to the Server Continent allowed the children to gain their Crests and Tags. Tapping into the true power of his Crest, after his failure with Skull Greymon, Tai allowed Greymon to evolve into Metal Greymon. He blasted away Etemon, thus leading Tai and Metal Greymon to enter through a portal back to the real world. He became reacquainted with his sister, Kari, but left back to the Digital World to regroup with his friends.)
(Little did Kari realize that the eighth digivice appeared in her home. Myotismon became aware of the situation with the eighth child and gathered his troops, including Gatomon, to enter the real world. Coincidentally, Gatomon's prey would turn out to be the partner she was searching for. When they became united, Myotismon was on the hunt.)
(The Digi-Destined moved out in attempt to rescue Kari and Gatomon. Thanks to a selfless sacrifice on Wizardmon's part, the Crest of Light shone. With Gatomon urge to avenge her deceased friend and Kari's Light, she digivolved into Angewomon. Striking down the heartless villain with her Celestial Arrow, the angel of Light slain the aristocratic Myotismon. Or she so thought…)
(Myotismon committed a foul and digivolved into Venom Myotismon. Using their arrows of Light and Hope, the angel pair used their powers to grant Agumon and Gabumon the ability to digivolve into their mega forms. War Greymon and Metal Garurumon were born. With the eight children united, they overcame Venom Myotismon's wrath and saved their planet. Unfortunately, they were unaware of the fact that the earth's skies were being covered with global view of the Digital World. The two worlds were somehow become intertwined with one another.)
(As the Digi-Destined returned, Matt had somehow left the team after an argument with Tai. Then, the lives of the Digi-Destined would officially change. Enter Neo Devimon. The devil man revealed that Agumon was originally intended to destroy the Digital World in the name of an unknown terrorist empire. Neo Devimon proved to be much stronger than Venom Myotismon and he was only merely a champion-level, an experienced one. It took both Leomon and War Greymon to put down the villain. The masked man, X, would arrive on the scene to help train both Tai and Agumon)
(Eventually, the Digital Invaders would arrive. Causalities mounted. Tai and War Greymon returned to aid their comrades. Etemon, one of the invaders and stronger than the previous counterpart, was easily defeated by War Greymon. What was even more earth shattering was the fact that Matt and Metal Garurumon were amongst the invaders. They revealed that they were recruited by a 'being', but wouldn't reveal the name. Matt vowed to kill Tai and take TK back. Their rivalry would lead to perhaps one of the greatest battles ever witnessed in the Digital World: War Greymon vs. Metal Garurumon! More specifically, it was Courage vs. Friendship! The rivals would become witnesses to this historical event.)
(It battle was close and easily surpassed the expectations of many. Every battle before paled in comparison to this one. In the end, it was Courage who defeated Friendship. It was Hope. TK and Angemon purified Metal Garurumon. Tai confronted Matt and made him 'wake up' to see the error of his ways. Unfortunately, Matt left the Digital World and returned back to meet with 'him'.)
(After learned about the mystical four Digicores, X lent his spaceship to the Digi-Destined. Tai and Agumon stayed behind to heal their injuries. By the time the children arrived on Spiral Mountain planet, Matt came at just about moments after the children. Burizalor and his forces had arrived before any of the two parties. Battling through many of Burizalor's elite soldiers, including Machinedramon, Metal Seadramon, and another Myotismon, Matt and the Digi-Destined gathered the digicores. By the time a large percentage of his forces were slain, Burizalor had called for the Demon Corps.)
(Enter the Demon Corps. The team was led by Piedmon; his associates being Metal Tyrannus, Marine Devilin, Skull Satan and Puppetmon. The leader had stolen away the digicores to hand them to Burizalor. The Digi-Destined were left to engage combat with the other four Demon Corp members. Metal Garurumon had dispatched Puppetmon, but not long before Metal Tyrannus crushed him. Tai and War Greymon arrived on the planet to save their comrades. The warrior proved how superior his strength was when he easily put down both Metal Tyrannus and Marine Devilin. Skull Satan escaped to return back with Piedmon. Meanwhile, Burizalor left to gain the password from Gennai to officially activate the Digicores after their long dormancy. With all of the Digi-Destined, except TK and Kari, turned into key chains, the angels were left to handle Piedmon and Skull Satan. Angewomon finishes Skull Satan, while Angemon finally digivolved into Magna Angemon to send Piedmon through the Gate of Destiny)
(With the Digital World restored and Leomon revived, the Digi-Destined only had Burizalor to worry about. The tyrant proved to be more than a match for any of them. Tai and Agumon were both once again on the sidelines. Undergoing three horrifying transformations, Burizalor showed his ruthlessness by inflicting punishment on the Digi-Destined. Most notable was his slaying of Matt 'Yamato' Ishida. Tai arrived in time to see his rival and friend die before his very own eyes. Thus, this led to War Greymon's next greatest battle: against Burizalor.)
(Burizalor proved to be a powerful opponent and nearly killed War Greymon. Using the Life Bomb as a last resort, he gathered energy from the digital life on the Digital World. The Life Bomb was strong enough to send Burizalor plunging. It looked like the Digi-Destined had finally claimed victory. They would return home but mourned for the loss of Matt. They couldn't restore him since the Digicores' lost their power once Gennai had passed away before due to the pain of loss. The Life Bomb had failed… Burizalor survived. But he made the biggest mistake of his miserable life, he took away Sora's life with a single energy beam. This event led to a historical event the Digital Universe would never forget: the merging of Tai and Agumon. Omega X was officially born.)
(This significant event thus led to the beginning of a new era: the Digital Fusion Era. The final portions of the battle were intense and nearly shook the Digital World to its core. It got so insane that the battle itself was settled within the Dark Dimension, a sub-dimension that is outside the actual Dark Realm. The Digicores had their powers restored thanks in part to the children of Hope and Light. Azulongmon and the Holy Beasts were released to send the children to the Digital World. Burizalor and Omega X finished their historic battle within the Dark Dimension. In the end, Omega X dealt the finishing blow that ended the tyrant's reign of terror. Omega X had no chance to escape and supposedly died within the implosion of the dimension. The Digi-Destined, along with a revived Matt, returned home. It was thought Tai and Agumon had died, but Azulongmon would later reveal that they had survived. They would be returning home within four years. During the last four years, Burizalor's father, Mutalior, attempted to avenge his son as he laid predatory sights on Taichi. But, the monster was defeated by Omnimon, the fusion of War Greymon and Metal Garurumon. Omega X would emerge out of the royal knight to really give the finishing blow to Burizalor's father. Thus, the bloodline was ended or so everyone thought…)
(Four years have passed… Three new Digi-Destined were selected. New Digimentals and Armor Evolution. A new enemy, the Digimon Kaiser. The new Digi-Destined, led by Davis , managed to overcome the Kaiser's many weapons. Wizardmon had given a message to the Digi-Destined that a great evil would return and prophesized about the 'golden radiance'. The golden radiance would be the Golden Digimental that allowed Veemon to armor evolve into Magnamon. Magnamon finished off Chimeramon with his golden light. Leomon slain Shadramon, a subordinate of Burizalor's already broken empire. The Kaiser saw the error of his ways and once again became Ken Ichijouji. Ken becomes the Digi-Destined of Kindess. However, he wouldn't officially join until…)
(Burizalor returned. He was given a new cybernetic body and planned to open a portal to the real world with Lady Myotismon. The Digi-Destined, New and Old, arrived in time to stop the restored villain. Tai and Agumon had not returned yet. Instead, a freedom fighter from the future arrived. He, too can merge with his digimon partner. He became Angemon X right before everyone's eyes. In a matter of minutes, Angemon X dispatched both Burizalor and Lady Myotismon. At long last, the icy tyrant was killed off. As Tai and Agumon returned, the youthful freedom fighter and his partner, Faith, warned him about a new upcoming threat, even more formidable than Burizalor. A trio of terrible artificials would arrive at Kyoto in one year. The boy told Tai that in his time the cyborgs and a deadly virus took the lives of the Digi-Destined. Tai was the first during that time period to catch the virus and died from it. The young man would reveal himself as Dimitri Ishida, the son of Matt and Mimi. Returning back to his time, Dimitri left Tai to warn the other Digi-Destined about the upcoming artificial threat.)
(One year passed since the boy's ominous warning, the Digi-Destined waited… Then, the artificials would make their presence felt. They were Elfmon, Iceladydevimon and Funkymon. Of these three, Funkymon was actually Datamon in disguise. Omega X fought Elfmon but his health was deteriorating from the virus. Matt stepped in and became the third human to merge with his digimon. Thus, Metalla X was born. Using his new powers, he took out his frustrations out on Elfmon and destroyed him. Ladydevimon would follow the same fate. Datamon was left to do battle with the Digi-Destined. Dimitri would return to realize that these weren't the same artificials from his time. In fact, they are different. The real ones Dimitri had spoken of were still sealed in their capsules.)
(Activating the capsules, Datamon released the true cyborgs, Jax and Sonja. Then, the third one was released and he wad dubbed 'Black War Greymon'. Their assignment was to terminate Taichi and Agumon. However, Jax and Sonja rebelled against Datamon. With Datamon dispatched, Metalla X left to battle these new threats. But the artificials simply proved to be too much. Davis attempted to talk them out of killing his friends, but they revealed that they showed on interest in Davis ' friends. This would actually plant the seeds for the relationship between Davis and Sonja. But, these artificials weren't the actual threats for the planet to worry about. A time capsule arrived from another alternate future, which harbored an egg of some sorts.)
(Leomon would go to Shinjuku to confront the new enemy. It turned out to be another creation of Datamon. The creature's name is Virus, a bio-android created from the cells of the strongest warriors within the Digital Universe. His goal is to absorb Sonja and Jax to achieve his perfect form. Eventually Tai and Agumon recover after taking medicine given to him by Dimitri. Tai was prepared to use the Time Room again like he has done beforehand, but Kari and Gatomon wanted to join her brother. Kari was ready to achieve the Digital Fusion status. Tai acknowledged his sister's wishes, but allowed Matt and Dimitri to enter before him. As Jax and Leomon engaged in a breathtaking duel, Virus would intervene and defeated Leomon. Thus led to Black War Greymon to fend off the bio-weapon monster, but he was too late to save Jax. The artificial was absorbed by Virus and evolved into his semi-perfect form. Sonja was next…)
(Metalla X and Angemon X left the Time Room as they set off to stop the earth's new threat. The warrior of friendship proved his worth by ascending past the first level of digital fusion and dominated Virus. Davis would arrive with the emergency suspension remote, which Izzy had constructed beforehand. Meanwhile, Tai and Agumon were training Gatomon to reach the mega level. Soon, she and Kari would merge to form one single entity. By the time Davis destroyed the switch controller, he tried saving Sonja by leading her off to hiding. Virus would intervene, capture the female and absorb her into his being. At last, Virus has reached his full evolution. He gained the ultimate power. Metalla X was the first to go down. Angemon X stepped in to avenge the loss of his loved ones from his future world and retorted all of his angry towards Virus himself. It looked as though Angemon X had victory clenched at the palm of his hands, but Virus was still superior in the speed department. Then came the shocking revelation…)
(The announcement of the War Games. They would be held within ten days on December 31, 2004. The Digi-Destined were up for the greatest challenge to date. Emerging out of the time chamber, Omega X led out a blonde-haired female warrior. This warrior was none other than Kari and Gatomon. Their digital fusion was a success. With nine days remaining, Matt, Dimitri, Leomon and TK used the room just when they needed it. TK and Patamon would eventually merge together to become War Angemon. During the countdown to the War Games event, a crisis had occurred on earth. It seemed digital portals were being activated worldwide by a mysterious force, later the perpetrator was revealed as none other than Virus himself. The Digi-Destined traveled across the world to meet many new Digi-Destined, including ones from Russia, Mexico, Hong Kong, New York City, Australia, Paris and many more countries. With their help, they sent the rogue digimon back to their home in the Digital World. At some point, Black War Greymon would get his showdown with War Greymon in a short, but sweet duel. There was no winner to determine on that day.)
(Finally, the War Games was ready to commence. Mummymon attempted to intervene and was amongst the first to be swept aside. Once Omega X stepped into the ring, Virus would have himself quite the opponent. The match itself turned out to be one of the most legendary fights the two worlds have ever witnessed. It was evenly match with neither warrior giving out. In the end, Omega X had done the unthinkable: he forfeited the match. He gave his spot to his sister, Kari AKA Celesta X. The young female stepped in and tried to prove her worth, but Virus was simply too great of an opponent for her. Unleashing his Chibi Viruses, the devious villain sought to draw out the hidden power out of the child of light by angering her. It was too no avail as Kari watched her friends and brother getting massacred by the devilish imps. Then, came the turning point. Black War Greymon intervened and was killed off right before Kari's very own eyes. In a sudden flash of light, something snapped within the child as she let go of her restraints and faced up to her greatest fear: self doubt. Having being intimidated by the likes of Myotismon as an eight year old, Kari would not stand for anymore people to die because of her. Wizardmon died and now Black War Greymon was the next to join him. With that action set in place, Celesta X released her Amazing Grace powers.)
(Once achieving her 'Amazing Grace' powers, Celesta X destroyed the Chibi Viruses and set her sights on Virus himself. The bio-android was shocked when he couldn't even land a blow on the young warrior. Kari surpassed Virus through strength, speed and durability. She even deflected his charged up Positron Laser/Terra Beam combinations. Forcing to cough out Sonja, Celesta X was close to ending Virus. However, the villain set about to detonate himself and take the two worlds along with him. Kari cursed herself for not finishing Virus sooner. Then, came the unthinkable. War Angemon intervened, shared his feelings to Celesta X and displayed his true affection for the child of light. The Warrior of Hope transported himself out with Virus to another dimension and died within the explosion. Celesta X had lost yet another loved one. Pouring her heart out, she no longer considered herself a valuable asset of them team since death always manages to creep up to take the life of a beloved friend of hers from out of the blue. But, the War Games were far from finished.)
(Virus returned from near death to deliver the final blow to the Digi-Destined. Killing off Dimitri, Virus managed to anger Metalla X. However, the Warrior of Friendship was easily dispatched and came close to finishing him with an energy shot. Celesta X intervenes to save Matt and get her right arm injured. Like a shark smelling blood, Virus levitated down to face off with Hikari for one intense power struggle that shook both worlds to their foundation. With enough energy to destroy the two worlds and perhaps the solar system, Virus launches his Positron Laser blast. Gaining encouragement from TK beyond another world, Celesta X gained enough confidence to retaliate with an attack on Virus. Both sides pushed each other to their limits, and it seemed Virus was on the verge of victory. However, one shot from Metalla X helped to turn the tables against Virus. Unleashing her full power blast, Celesta X reduced Virus' body into ashes and destroyed his core in the process. Datamon's nightmarish ambition was at last sealed.)
(With Virus gone, the Digi-Destined used the Digicores to restore all the victims of Virus. That includes Jax and Dimitri. TK, on the other hand, remained within the other world to run an errand for the Gate Keeper. Helping Paladin lock away the deceased villains in Digital Limbo, TK returned back home just in time to reunite with his friends. Dimitri returned back to his time period to finally vanquish the artificials and destroyed Virus of that timeline. The futures were now altered and changed for the better. But, life for the Digi-Destined changed forever during the next seven years. During this period, Kari was sent back to the Dark Ocean as Dagomon attempted to take her. TK and Davis managed to save her in time before returning home to battle a new enemy named Zeta Demon. Much like her situation with Virus, Kari tapped into her 'Amazing Grace' strength and easily overwhelmed Zeta Demon. After that event, the seven year period was peaceful. Davis eventually got closer to Sonja and married the woman. Other married couples included Tai and Sora, even Ken and Yolei.)
(Seven years after the War Games event, the people of Hypnos put Japan under heavy surveillance thanks to the efforts of Yamaki. They were to track down the bio-emergence of digimon entering the real world. Kari had become a substitute teacher at an elementary school in Shinjuku and met with Takato Matsuda. Eventually, she would meet several new children that would form a group known as the Digimon Tamers. Takato was one of the witnesses of the infamous War Games event and drew a digimon partner of his own named Guilmon. That dream partner would eventually come to life thanks to the appearance of a new digivice for the new goggle head. Next came the power hungry Digimon Queen, Rika Nonaka, and her partner, Renamon. Henry Wong would arrive on the scene with Terriermon. Eventually, even Leomon would return to become Jeri's partner. The enemies during this time weren't that very strong for the Digital Warriors, but proved to be formidable opponents for the Tamers. Eventually, the tiny viral Impmon would show up out of random. Eventually, the Devas would make their presence felt. Mihiramon being the first. As each Deva was defeated, it became clear that they were sent by an evil force. Hints of that were shown as King Devimon observed the Devas' battles. They were up to something and that plan would eventually become revealed much later.)
(After Vikaralymon was defeated, the Digi-Destined and the Tamers were confronted by Shintomon and Buddamon. The two higher powers warned the heroes about a new threat set to emerge from the Digital World of the Southern Quadrant: the D-Reaper. As soon as they arrived there, they split into two groups. One group went about to find Calumon, the source to digivolution; meanwhile, the other group set out to raid Dark Magimon's spaceship. Inside Magimon's spaceship, several strong opponents were selected to draw out energy to free the D-Reaper out of its closed shell. Matt and Tai wasted two Devas, while Kari battled King Devimon. Growing frustrated with Celesta X's deteriorated combat skills, Metalla X threatened to destroy the ship. King Devimon and Magimon exploited the warrior's dark heart. The wizard used his magic to release the darkness within Metalla X and charmed him with newfound strength to destroy his friends. But, Metalla X overcame Magimon's control and simply wanted to challenge Omega X from the last battle they left off years ago.)
(Bursting onto the scene, Beelzebumon arrived on the scene to carry out his bargain. By nearly taking Rika's life, Takato became enraged and that anger forced Guilmon to digivolve into Megidramon. Realizing his own paradox, Takato managed to overcome his self doubt and helped Megidramon revert back to Guilmon. As a result, Guilmon and Takato underwent a new evolution, but quite similar to Digital Fusion: Bio-Mergence. Gallantmon was born. As Gallantmon and Beelzebumon settled it, Omega X and Metalla X resolved their old differences in a rematch of epic proportions. They seemed dead even with no end in sight. As these two battles occurred, the others left to stop Magimon from releasing the D-Reaper. Unfortunately, thanks to the energy released from the two major battles, the D-Reaper's release was eminent. This lead to perhaps the most difficult and drawn out conflict with an unstoppable enemy.)
(D-Reaper made an example out of King Devimon and absorbed his data. Taking out Celesta X with ease, there was doubt on who would stop the monster. Enter Metalla X. He had knocked Omega X out earlier once calling off the battle as a draw. Even though he stood no chance, Yamato fought the D-Reaper. He even staked his life and made the ultimate sacrifice. Upon his second death, Metalla X detonated and took the D-Reaper with him in a grand explosion. Mourning the loss of their loved one, they were relieved that this meant the end of the D-Reaper. They were wrong… The D-Reaper survived the explosion. Now, she and Dark Magimon set about destroying Zhuqiaomon's Digital World. Once releasing the light of digivolution from calumon, the Sovereigns hoped to increase enough digimon troops to fend off this ancient force. Omega X stepped up to the plate and demonstrated a new power: Third level Digital Fusion. The Warrior of Courage showed impressive tenacity as he took it to the D-Reaper. Giving his friends enough time to make it out through the portal back home, Omega X left D-Reaper to consider her alliance with Dark Magimon and reminded her of a new set of challengers. Realizing he was no longer needed, D-Reaper killed Magimon. The D-Reaper was free to continue her path of destruction.)
(Buddamon and Shintomon did their parts in training the warriors Tai had spoken fondly of. Shintomon trained Kari and her partner to use the legendary Omega Blade. Meanwhile, Buddamon taught Davis and TK the art of two digital warriors merging into one form. Once they've mastered the technique, they merged to form the powerful yet arrogant War Dramon. The Omega Blade was shattered and released the old Gosenzomon, previous Supreme Guardian from nearly seventeen generations ago. The old digimon used his mystical powers to give Kari and Angemon the power needed to defeat D-Reaper. Thus, Mystic Celesta emerged and was ten times more powerful than before. As War Dramon was losing the war against D-Reaper on earth, the warrior of light returned to face off against the D-Reaper. She had victory at the palm of her hands until… D-Reaper sprang a trap! She successfully absorbed War Dramon and Buddamon to form a new Super Reaper. Omega X saw through to this and returned to Earth. Given new mystical earrings from Gosenzomon, Omega X attempted to merge bodies with his sister, but that came with no success. Having lost War Dramon's strength due to the time limit, D-Reaper absorbed Mystic Celesta into her being and became twice as powerful. D-Reaper was at the level of a god. Omega X had no chance of merging with anyone until…)
(Metalla X returned! The Warrior of Courage tried talking his rival out of his bitterness. No, Metalla X accused Omega X of holding back on his full power and was led to believe he was weaker. Seeing no other option, Metalla X gives in to his rival's plead. The two used the earrings and merged into the strongest warrior in many worlds: Kaiser X! Meanwhile, Pikkan arrived on the scene to confront Demon. With the help of some famous heroes, Pikkan was able to overcome Demon. The Tamers themselves had their share of problems with the D-Reaper's mass along with the agents. Beelzebumon and Gallantmon attempted to crack the Kernal Sphere but that led to Beelzebumon nearly sacrificing his life. The Tamers were forced to regroup with the other Digi-Destined. Their main focus was on the battle at hand between D-Reaper and Kaiser X.)
(Displaying powers that caused the heavens to tremble, the two warriors were already at Skyfather-power levels. Kaiser X demonstrated his superiority over D-Reaper without breaking a sweat. Rather than finishing off the D-Reaper, Kaiser X allowed himself to be absorbed by her to save his friends inside. Once their fusion wore off, Omega X and Metalla X removed the pods containing their friends. Once pulling out the pod containing the first D-Reaper, the beast was undergoing a transformation of epic proportions. Once escaping, it was thought the D-Reaper would become weaker. Instead, the monster became an out of control, psychopath with a healthy obsession of planetary destruction. D-Reaper launched a sphere of destruction to do the unthinkable: the destruction of planet earth. The third planet in the solar system was gone without a trace. In the nick of time, Omega X and Shintomon helped to transport their allies back to the Holy Realm Planet.)
(The final battle of the D-Reaper wars was set. Omega X and Gallantmon were the first to step up against the D-Reaper. Proving her vicious tenacity, the monster successfully fended off both the goggle heads. During the course of this battle, Metalla X had finally admitted that Tai was indeed number one. His self bitterness towards Tai had faded and would stake his life to protect his loved ones. With Mystic Celesta, War Dramon, Metalla X, Beelzebumon and Sakuyamon entering the battle, there was one last weapon: the Life Bomb. Gathering the energy from earth and the Digital Worlds, Omega X gathered the spirit power necessary to form the largest Life Bomb at the time. Using the digicores, the Earth was restored along with its inhabitants. D-Reaper was relentlessly overwhelming the warriors, but not long before Pikkan, Leomon and Garudamon entered the battlefield. With Mummymon's help, the Life Bomb was complete. However, Tai had asked Gallantmon to use the weapon. The Tamer was more than happy to oblige as he recently achieved his new Crimson form. Launching the Life Bomb, Gallantmon put down the D-Reaper and ended her near reign of terror. At long last, peace arrived and the heroes would celebrate their biggest victory to date. Tai would become confronted with a girl named Dorothy Kaimodosu, who was the actual reincarnation of the D-Reaper. He gladly offered her a spot amongst the team and agreed to help train her.)
(Five years later… The majority of the Digi-Destined had children. Most notable are Max Kamiya, Dimitri & Keke Ishida, Sam Ichijouji the II, Tike & Kara Takaishi, and David Motomiya, technically adopted. Through an accidental procedure from one of Izzy's projects, Tai was reverted back to a ten year old kid. With Azulongmon's digicores inactive, X and Shintomon lent the Digi-Destined a spaceship to travel to the Digital World within the Western quadrant. They would find the Black Digicores there. Tai, Max, Takato, Kari, Rika, Davis, Keke and their digimon partners left to go on the trip. However, they weren't alone. The Celestial Angels summoned forth the six children inheriting the spirits of the legendary warriors: Takuya, Zoe, Kouji, JP, Kouichi and Tommy. Once the two parties met, the angels had asked of them to gather the four Black Digicores. But they had to defeat the Mystical Dragon. Once capturing the four items, they defeated the dragon to free a beautiful demigoddess named Lady Moinanea. She was the rightful ruler of the Western Digital World before Lucemon arrived. Unbeknownst to them, a new enemy was on the horizon…)
(Seeking control of the Digital World, the M-5 Machine empire sent their troops to defeat the Digi-Destined and their allies. Putting up a heavy resistance, Tai and his team defeated the M-5 Machine empire. Dr. Myuumon's plans were pushed back but he wasn't the mastermind behind the whole scheme. It was Bebimon, the last surviving Tufflesurian. He set his sights on earth. Assimilating himself with other bodies, Bebimon found Metalla X and become a force to be reckoned with.)
(Returning home, the heroes found out that earth had become enslaved through Bebimon's mind control seeds. Omega X put up a fight against the powerful Bebi-Metalla X. However, his strength wasn't enough even at level three. Launching a Death Ball, it seemed like the end for the warrior. In actuality, Omega X was transported to another dimension to come contested against BW, the reincarnated Black War Greymon. The Warrior of Courage once again proved his medal against BW and immediately gained a spirit from Shintomon. Bebi-Metalla X had revived his old home planet using the Black Digicores, which were used on earth and that meant it would detonate within a year's time. Omega X returned to battle, used the spirit and made a grave error. He had transformed into an uncontrollable beast. But thanks to the pleading cries of Max, the beast contained his rage and underwent a transformation. Finally, Omega X had reached a new level of power: Level Four. The warrior resumed his fight with Bebimon and dominated the fight. Thanks to Hypnos' satellite to attract Brutes Waves, the Tufflesurian had his power increased and transformed into a massive wolf-like monster of titanic proportions. Omega X had a tougher fighter on his hands, but had help from the unified legendary warrior, Susanoomon. Biding enough time, Omega X was restored back to full power. Mystic Celesta and the other warriors held Bebimon back as Omega X was restored back to full power. With help from his fellow goggle heads, Omega X defeated Bebi-Metalla X and forced Bebimon out of his best friend. Bebimon attempted to make a quick get away on a ship, but the Warrior of Courage would have none of it. He launches a Terra Beam and sent Bebimon into the sun. Thus, the last Tufflesurian was destroyed, but earth was still in danger. Before it had a chance to detonate within a few short weeks, the Black Digicores were immediately brought back and Lady Moinanea was spared from sacrificing her life. She would then wed Shintomon, but not long before the Digicores were used to restore Taichi's age.)
(A new threat would emerge on the earth, thus beginning a series of events that would create a chain catastrophic events for the next few days. A hole was breached through Digital Limbo and the old enemies were released. The Digi-Destined and their allies aided the International Digi-Destined to vanquish the enemies. Most notable of the returning villains were Burizalor and Virus. Omega X and Gallantmon battled these two in Digital Limbo but not long before getting trapped. With the help of Paladin, they defeated the villain pair and escaped back to earth. Unbeknownst to them, the digicores were cracked and an evil force was at work behind them. Meanwhile, Datamon and Dr. Myuumon fused Artificial Jax and a Black War Greymon replica to form Super Artificial Jax. The heroes of earth were easily dispatched but not long before Tai and Takato returned. Having learned that Jax had killed Ken, Saber Veemon, Davis, had set off to battle the Super Artificial. With the help of Sonja, Davis tapped into a new power and became Ultima X. The duo defeated Super Artificial Jax. However, that wasn't the end of the conflict. It was merely the beginning.)
(Having learned that the Digicores were contaminated by Millenniumon, the Digi-Destined set off to stop the seven monsters created. However, there was another problem at hand. It seemed there was an accomplice in cahoots with the Dark God. This person would be revealed to be Himo Saitou, the former apprentice of X. Having seen the evil atrocities of mankind, Saitou sought to kill the human race by opening a tunnel leading to the Dark Realm. He had help with six other spell casters. They were Dr. Akira, Rei Saiba, Mari, Sigma and Hideto. One by one, as each monster and spell caster were defeated, it became clear that the tunnel should not be allowed to be opened. Saitou had Max kidnapped when it was revealed that the boy had a special power to cut down the barrier between the worlds. Tai and his allies went through many challenging adversaries including Novdramon and Doomsdramon. Novadramon himself became an unlikely ally for Taichi until he was killed. Inside the caverns, TK and Kari were confronted by their old enemy, Virus; while Davis was stopped by Burizalor. The villains proved to be trouble once they gained power-ups from Millenniumon. History once again repeated itself as Mystic Celesta defeated Virus; Ultima X ended Burizalor once and for all. Once they reunited with their other allies, the final showdown against Saitou was set.)
(The showdown between apprentices was set: Taichi vs. Saitou. It seemed Omega X would once again claim victory but Saitou demonstrated he had seven different personalities. Becoming his purest form, Himo Saitou displayed his Saint Light ki and sued it to end Omega X's life. This was the first time Taichi had ever faced death and it was truly an emotional event. Attempting to avenge his death, the warriors set off into the Dark Realm to stop Saitou. Saitou unleashed his armor to once again dominate his likely adversaries. When it was thought Taichi had been done I, the DW-STF were proven wrong. Tai had somehow inherited the blood of the Digi-Mazoku, an ancient warlord from the Dark Realm. As the Digi-Mazoku's son, Omega X was resurrected and set off to finish his battle with Saitou. The two men clashed in a heart-pounding fight that caused the Dark realm itself to tremble under their might. Then, came the biggest turn around, the Digi-Mazoku lord Toushimon helped to release the hidden strength within Omega X. The warrior of courage reached his Wargod Mode and level five was achieved.)
(Using his full Digi-Mazoku power, Omega X avenged his own death as he slaughtered the Dark Angel. With one blast of his Terra Beam, Omega X nearly killed Saitou and regretted the shot he fired. This did not come from his own strength, but through Toushinmon himself. As it was revealed Saitou only had a short time to live, Saitou had gained what he wanted: being a witness to the Dark Realm and becoming marveled with its uniqueness. With Saitou transported out with Neo, Rei Saiba followed her brother and bid her farewell to her friends. However, that was not the end of the entire war. Millenniumon emerged out of Monodramon and merged with his second half to become the unstoppable Zeed. Unlike many villains before him, the Dark God slaughtered at least seventy-five percent of the Digi-Destined. Only a few selective few were left to battle the monster. Soon more causalities mounted. There was only one option left: the Life Bomb. With the help of Goddess Moinanea, Omega X gained the energy from not just his world and the Digital Realms, but those from every hero across many alternate earths. As the Life Bomb became complete, Omega X used it to intertwine with a spirit given to him by Goddess Moinanea. As a result of this mergence, Galactic X was born! The battle itself would take place in outer space. Both Zeed and Galactic X caused the fabrics of space to tremble under their might. Goddess Moinanea destroyed the Dark God's planet, which in turn allowed Galactic X to finish off Zeed. The final enemy was at last defeated and order was restored. The Digicores were purified and used for one final time to repair the damage inflicted on Earth. Lives taken away were restored, including those killed by the Super Artificial, Saitou and Zeed.)
(During the next ten years, the lives of the Digi-Destined changed forever. Marriages became abound and a new generation was born. Rika and Jeri had given birth to children for their husbands, Takato and Pikkan. The most notable event during this time was the Digi-Universal tournament to determine Shintomon's substitute. Amongst these participants were Omega X, Metalla X, Gallantmon, Mystic Celesta and many other of the Digital Warriors. Other new faces arrived including Toushinmon, Mukuromon, Hadesmon, Athenamon and a few selective others. Tai returned home after a promise he made with Sora. The Digi-Destined now look back to the chain of events leading up to the present day. It was a memorable three decades, but it was time for a new generation to rise and take claim as heroes.)
…
…
…
An explosion of fireworks streaked across the darkened skies. The Digi-Destined, the D3s, the digimon the Tamers and the Legendary Warriors watched with enjoyment. They had finally earned their long break and wanted to spend the rest of their lives peacefully. However, whenever another dark force arrives, they would be sure to be ready. The next generation would step up and defend their planet.
The Saga of Digimon Fusion. The Digital Fusion Era is a thing of the past. It was time to move on with a bright future. However, just in case there is a great darkness that the new generation can't handle, there is one who will step out of the shadows to fight alongside the children in the name of justice and truth.
Taichi looks across the moonlight to find a pair of butterflies fluttering about while giving off a beautiful radiation of light. He turns around and gives a thumbs up before saying these last words.
"Thank you and until we meet again, everyone! Good bye!"

Thanks for the support, ideas and allowing me to use your characters for the finale battle against Zeed.
Now we move on with more pressing matters. Time to give my final thoughts on the series. I'll make this one clear. :D
It all started during the summer of 2001. I was reading some Dragonball Z/Digimon crossovers online. Some were decent while most were pretty crappy. I wasn't that big of an author then. Hell, I barely even posted at at the time. Back then, I wrote an ALIEN/Digimon crossover that never managed to come out right and I wasn't very pleased with it. Then, I wrote a digimon fic implementing the ideas of Spawn. TK played Spawn while Kari married Davis. No, it was NOT a bash fic! Anyway, this one wasn't very successful either. Soon, I decided to toy around with the ideas of mixing DBZ and Digimon together to see how the elements would work out in a crossover. I was even preparing to write a set of stories based on the Saiyan Saga using the 01 characters. Turns out by the time 9/11 occurred, I was horrified by the tragic events and wasn't in any mood to continue writing. One month after the event, I went about continuing my work. Back then, I wasn't an excellent writer as I am now. It was all in script format and I'm not pleased with the results. I had actually written the Digital Invaders Saga back in 2001, but I never bothered to post it up on That's how bad the fic was.
So, came the winter break of 2001. I skipped ahead to write the original version of the Burizalor Saga. It had script format but I had quickly strayed away from that pathetic format. Now, where did I get the term 'Digimon Fusion'? Well, it was all thanks in part to Digimon Tamers. I had watched a video clip of the Japanese version of the Tamers series showing Takato and Guilmon bio-merging into the awesome Dukemon/Gallantmon. I was intrigued and stunned to say the least. Then, it hit me. 'That's it! That's what I'm looking for! Fusion!' So thus Digimon Fusion was born. I liked the concept of Digimon and humans merging into supreme warriors. So, as soon as I reached near the Burizalor Saga end, I had Tai and Agumon merge using elements of Tamers and DBZ. I've always wanted to see how Digimon would work if they fought just like the Z-Warriors. To this very day, the concept lives on without any signs of slowing down. :P
As the series rolled on through the Virus and D-Reaper Sagas, I've received a growing fan base. I wasn't sure whether to be stunned or surprised. People like Dark Warrior, Max Acorn, Anthony and AnT were all stunned with my work. I was commended for the idea. Heck, AnT even told me through a review that he wrote his popular Digimon Tribute after reading my D-Tamers season. What do you think, guys? I've managed to influence other authors out there in the Digimon secion of ;) Eventually, I would be the first other than DDOC to use Max Acorn's D3 characters with his permission. Turns out, I've successfully merged his characters into my fic universe. As I finished the original Bebimon Saga, I looked back and said to myself, 'I can write better than this.' So, I went into a major overhaul and started all the way back with my originally intended 'Digital Invaders Saga'. That particular saga received rave reviews and that convinced me to rewrite the whole series from top to bottom. Burizalor, Digimon Kaiser, Artificials, Virus, Tamers Unite, Dark Magimon and D-Reaper. All those were rewritten from June 2003 until mid-December 2003. The rewrites turned out better than I expected.
The Digimon Fusion series is the one series that has led me to become a recognized and an elite author of that particular anime section. According to Dark Qiviut, I'm one of the top elites. Thanks again, buddy. :D
Coming off the success of this series, I was even confident enough to write a crossover series entitled The Wrath of Pharaohmon. Here I thought it wouldn't be a success, but it turns out it did. This particular has no connection with my D-Fusion series, but once again shows I can write a good crossover when need be. I hope to get this series done this summer at the latest.
Enter D-Frontier. This is the final season and I've been complimented for writing a BETTER adaptation to the actual DBGT series, eventually to become intertwined with the Yu Yu Hakusho Sensui storyline arc. Can't say whether to be shocked or not. Oh well. The Black Digicores, Bebimon and Super Artificial turned out great, but I wanted to go out with a big with this final saga. The Millenniumon Saga was indeed a success and has garnered the most reviews out of every one of my D-Fusion Sagas. Only the Burizalor Saga Rewrite comes close to reaching such a high number of review counts. Now, you guys have just witnessed the end of an era. The end of the Digimon Fusion series. It's sad I know, but all good things must come to an end. Hell, I'm saddened, too. ;.; The idea all started in August of 2001, the first story was written in early September 2001 before the tragic events of 9/11, the first posted story was in January of 2002, the rewrite overhaul in June 2003 and the final chapter posted April 17, 2005. Not a bad way to end, eh? Nearly four years!
Now the series maybe over, but the movie and OVA fics based on the D-Fusion will resume. Hopefully starting this week, I can post the first chapter of my first movie fic entitled Hope and Light Captured! Daimaomon's Conquest for Power!. The reminder of this year I will focus on those and my Pharaohmon fic. I'm riding the waves of success without any signs of stopping. You can rest assured that I'll keep writing fics for a long time to come. Writing is a hobby and a major of mine. I want to become a historical writer and this is the perfect way to enhance my writing skills, plus combine that with college writing. :D
If you guys are wondering if I'll be writing a movie fic based on Toushinmon, Tai meeting his ancestral digi-father, the Digital Amazons and the Digi-Universal Tournament, then yes I will be writing that. I should get started on that towards the end of this year. I promise it'll be a long movie fic but one to never forget about. Anthony1, I know I was supposed to work on the Dimitri fic special last year but this year I'm sure to have that one up as well. So, looks like you'll be getting the story you've been anticipating for. ;) In fact, this one goes to AnT, I'm even considering the idea of the D-Fusion/Dragonball Z crossover one day. It just might be a possibility. :D
But there will be no further stories after the events of this epilogue. Maybe before it like during the past ten years or so, but nothing further beyond that.
With that all said, I really don't have any further comments. I'll post up my question survey through the review section. I'm going to go ahead and grade myself on a scale of 1-10. The originals receive a 7.3 out 10. My rewrites plus the new added sagas earn a 9.3 out of 10. There are still some flaws and inconsistencies for me to correct, but every author makes those mistakes. I can admit that to myself. I've had fun and really enjoyed writing this series. It was a pleasure to share the D-Fusion series with everyone of you and I'm happy to know that it has gained quite a popularity on the Digimon section of I'm honored.
That's all she wrote ladies and gents. The end of the Digimon Fusion series. Time to move on with my other projects like my upcoming Digimon Fusion movies and OVAs, not to mention the continuation of my Pharaohmon arc. Even though I think my Digimon Fusion has reached legendary status and even my popular Pharaohmon series won't be able to touch it. Only one thing left to say and this: THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU ALL!
Peace:D

Notes:
(Author's Note 8/16/24)
Hi, again. It's me from 2024 future! Did you enjoy this long trip of my fanfic nostalgia? I hope you got some entertainment out of my 2000s cringe-style of writing. It's been fun reflecting on this time when I had more free time. Although, looking back at my final A/N, I don't necessarily agree I wrote a better Dragon Ball GT since I don't dislike GT much (though it is severely flawed) and the D-Fronter GT run IMO didn't do much to improve (although I got more fun out of intertwining YYH's Chapter Black arc with the Shadow Dragons and had other fighters contend with the Millenniummon monsters lol) the source material outside of a few elements. Looking back, I may have predicted the final Gurren Lagann battle two whole years before it aired in Japan with that Galactic X vs Zeed battle. Someone even claimed I was some kind of prophet lol. Honestly, I'd give this Digimon Fusion (DF-616) story a 6-7/10 at best (5/10 if I want to be more critical).
Sadly, I never had the chance to write that movie fic about Toushinmon and the Digi-Universal Tournament. In hindsight, it's a shame, but I was honestly burned out from writing Digimon Fusion stories after 2005 and attempted a re-versioned DF in 2006-2007 (which I called the Ultimate Edition, lol) until I canceled that. I didn't pick up on renewing DF until Kai in 2010 and the rest is history. To give myself credit, I did write a couple of movie fics after the D-Frontier portion. I'm not sure if I'll post them here since I already cross-posted the revised 'Kai' versions.
I believe my writing got better with Digimon Fusion Kai (my version of Dragon Ball Z Kai) starting in 2010. To this day, I'm still learning writing techniques and styles. Speaking of Kai, if you've finished reading this fic, then give yourself a nice break and look at my Digimon Fusion Kai fic. While it'll feel deja vu, many elements and styles set DFKai apart from the original Digimon Fusion (DF-616 Prime). It's the modernized take on this old fic. Ascendancy is my Dragon Ball Super adaptation since I chose not to adapt GT following DFKai.
And I'll say this, if you read this, DFKai, and Ascendancy, it'll be worth it in the long run because something very cool happens in Ascendancy that I'm not giving away yet (since I haven't cross-posted all of my Ascendancy chapters).
Thank you all for any who've read this far. You've seen where I started and going forward, I'm about to become a fiction novelist. Just need to get my draft out to an editor and then a publisher. Wish me luck. And enough of that, take care, readers!
